&fl3SsSsfSI&S3ufcS?5c is THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH . THURSDAY. MARCH 17, 1892. THE SMOKE PEOBLEM. "Will Be Solved by Fuel Gas, Accord ing to Some Authorities. TYHAT BOSTON PEOPLE ARE DOIXG. The Necessary Coal Much Cheaper in Pittsburg District the KESULTS OP SOME THOROUGH TESTS To abate three-fourths of the smoke nuisance in this city would be a work of comparative ease, according to excellent authority; That Boston should lead Pitts burg in the manufacture and sale of fuel gas is, perhaps, not surprising, seeing that necessity is the mother of invention and taking into consideration that coal is cheap in this city, always has been and that the people have inherited prodigality in the use of fuel. There is a fuel company in the Hub that gives fuel gas at 50 cents per thousand cubic feet to those who use it in a small way, at 40 cents to those who use half a million feet per month and at 30 cents to those who use a million feet per month. The latter price is but 50 per cent more than small consumers here pay for the nat ural article flowing from the ground, and has set some people to wondering why a company is not formed for the manufacture of iuel pas in this city. It is true there are practical men who say the enterprise woulS not pay, while otherpracticalmen say it will and propose to make the gas for their own use, but no effort so tar seems to be making to supply the public at large. I'racticubillty of Smoke Consumption. Some people still persist that smoke con sumption is impracticable, but they have not succeeded in proving that it is so and some practical people say from actual ex perience that they have found it practicable so that there is hope this city may not be Hopelessly tnrown DacK to the nltny con dition of ten years ago. It is claimed that owing to the cheapness of the best gas coal in the world lying at our doors, fuel gas can be made in this city at 5 cents a thousand, but should it cost three times that, 'twould still be economy to use it both in private houses and in factories, for in the latter the cost of removing coal ashes is an Important raattor to be considered, while at 15 rents nor 1.000 an ordinary room can be heated by means of improved appliances at n cost of half a cent an hour, and this is lew than the cost of extra servant help and destruction of furniture when raw bituminous coal is used. Coal for making gas can be had here Tor Si a ton, and it is the best in the world for the purpose. The producer furnaces make it out of slack, but the Pittsburg Forge and Iron Company find it cheaper to use the run of the mine. Gas coal costs 3J time as much in Boston as in this city, and as the cost of coal is a very important item in this connection", it requires no argument to prove tnat iuel gas can be made here very cheaply. Xow as to the facts. There are comparatively few men who know as much about gas making, theoretic ally and practically, ar Superintendent Robert Young, of the Allegheny Gas "Works. It is in the line of his business to kpow, and he has spent the greater part of his life in the study of gas making, and has learned all that is known on both sides of the Atlantic having studied the methods in vogue in Europe The Transportation Feature. Now, Mr. Young states that the cost of producer gas plants is not great, and that the only drawback to the manufacture of fuel gas is that it is not commercially profit able to transport it considerable distances, owing to the necessity of laying very large pipes. For instance, he says, there is noth ing to prevent natural cas from beincr trans ported from "Western Pennsylvania to JN"ew York City, but it would not pay, and, as manufactured fuel gas has less heating power than the natural article, the greater volume required needs correspondingly larger pipes for transportation. It has been said that Pittsburg can be made a smokeless city, but that when the object is accomplished it will no longer be a manufacturing city. On this same subject Mr. Josiah Bounderbv says: "First of all you see our smoke. That's meat and drink to us. It's the healthiest thing in the world in all respects, and particularlv for the lungs. If you are one of those who wish to consume it, I differ from you. We are not going to wear the bottoms of onr boilers out any faster than we wear 'em out now for all the humbugging sentiment in the country." Most people appear to think that manu factured fuel gas making is a new thing,and Jew, comparatively, know that the project was taken out of the realm of speculation by the proprietors of the Pitts burg Forge and Iron Company some nine years ago. Having satisfied themselves that the manufacture was a suc cess so far as glass melting was concerned, the proprietors of these works decided to erect a producer plant, and their success is certainly encouraging. The secretary of the company, F. E. Richardson, states that they were getting along very well until the use of natural gas was introduced. "Why Operations Tt ere roxtponed. ' This, at the time of its introduction, they found cheaper than that they could make and their plant lay idle until the price of the natural article was run up, when it was put into operation, ana they now summer it will again be able to supply the mills with fuel. In Dakota, where fuel is scarce, a sort of metallic cartridge, charged with petroleum, is used, and the cost of charging it, is a cent, and it can be recharged as often as the usef sees fit All the heat generated is so nearly expended on the cooking that what escapes into the room is inappreciable. THE DELAY IS PAINFDL Collector Miller's Friends Anxious About His Confirmation Some Important Precedents Cited in Several Now York Cases. The delay In the confirmation by the United States Senate of Internal Kerenne Collector George W. Miller has created an unusual amount of anxiety on the part of many of Mr. Miller's most intimate politi cal friends, and a committee of his support ers have gone to Washington to inquire into the delay. The fact that Senator Quay was not consulted by the President in the ap pointment of Mr. Miller, it ii thought will not induce Mr. Quay to op pose Miller's confirmation, and those best posted on such matters are confident that the appointment will certainly be con firmed, even though Mr. Quay should oppose it. The delay in the confirmation, it is argued, has been due to the absence from the Senate of both the Pennsylvania. Senators, and if the appointment is not taken up until their return as a matter of courtesy, the same courtesy would not be extended far enough to prevent the confirmation. Many of Mr. Miller's friends are fearful that Senatorial courtesy will go far enough to prevent .Miners continuation, Out a case exactly similar arose during the administra tion of President Hayes when Chester A. Arthur was removed from the Collector of the Port of New York and CoL Merritt was appointed as successor. Senator Conkling opposed the confirmation of Merritt, but to no avail, and the appointment was con firmed. President Garfield had a sim ilar experience in ifew York when Collector Bobertson was appointed to succeed Colonel Merritt. Both Hew York's Senators, Conkling and Piatt, and Vice President Arthur opposed Bobertson's con firmation on personal grounds, but the Senate refused to extend courtesy to the New York Senators, and the nomination was confirmed and both the New York Senators resigned. Collector Miller cannot assume the duties of his office until he has been confirmed, but if any fight is made against him the appointment can be withheld until Congress adjourns, probably in July, when he can be reappointed and take charge of the office. Word was received in Pittsburg yester day that Senator Sherman will be conspic uous in the fight to secure Mr. Miller's confirmation. SUGAR TRUST TALK. More Rumors That the Refineries Will Soon Be Consolidated. SOME DIRECT STATEMENTS MADE. The Presence of Treasurer Eearles Philadelphia Is Significant. in SPRECKELS WAS SEEN, BUT IS SILENT LATE NEWS IN BRIEF. again put into make their own gas for all the finishing de partments of the work, but use coal in the puddling furnaces. It has been stated that producer gas can be made for 2 cents per thousand cubic feet Mr. Richardson re fused to subscribe to this statement, and did not seem to wish to give the exact price of the product further than to state that it was cheaper than natural gas, at present price, and cheaper than raw coal. He seemed to think, however, with out being very explicit on the subject, that coal was cheaper for puddling than fuel gas, as so large a volume of the latter was required. Mr. Bichardson said that while this gas could be made out of slack alone they found it preferable to use the run of the mine. Admitting that a large volume of gas is necessary for puddling, Mr.. Young thought the objection not insurmountable, as Smith & Co. found producer gas profitable fuel for the melting of steel and this also requires a large volume of gas. Experiments in ISehalf or Carnegie. It has been announced that the Carnegie combination will try the manufacture of fuel gas and the educated men who have been making experiments in its behalf are sanguine that the gas can be produced at less cost than raw coal and at Jess than half what natural gas now costs. In view of all this the question naturally suggests itself, why cannot this gas be made for con sumption in thickly settled districts for household use? It is said that each large manufacturing plant must have its own gas producer plant, but why could not one plant be made to supply several squares in thicklv built sections for domestic consumption? There is very lit tle smoke emitted in the process of making, so little that it would not give offense. There is no coke produced, as nothing is left but an ash. It is stated by a man connected with the natural gas interests that under the new management there is a.cheering prospect that the Philadelphia Gas Company will soon again be able to supply its customers at reasonable rates, and this, he says, is one of the causes why the stock has lately ad vanced in the market. He says the com pany has about secured all the available gas territory in Moon township and is arranging for the boring of six wells. He says that under the present management the company no longer covers whole sections of country with its leases as a great blanket, but chooses available localities and is going about its work systematically. He also stat that there is even hope that next Dr. Scudder, the Chicaso murderer, has been indicted. The United States steamer Mohican Is on her way to Bering sea.

Philadelphia, March 1& "I will not be surprised if within a month there is a general consolidation of ths sugar refining interests under the management of the 'Sugar Trust,"' said a prominent sugar-refiner last night, whose big establishment as yet has not been brought under the control of the great corporation which seeks to bring every refinery in the country under its charge. The visit of Mr. J. E.' Searles, of' New York, Treasurer of the Sugar Trust, to Philadelphia yesterday, has been the cause of reviving all the talk about the absorption of Philadelphia sugar refineries by the trust Mr. Searles left Philadelphia last night, and it is understood that he has the assurance of at least one large refiner that it is possible to include Philadelphia's great sugar producing industries in the list of the trust s refineries. A well informed person said last night that in one instance the deal was practically concluded. The three great Philadelphia sugar re fineries Spreckels', Knight's and the franklin have been thorns in the side of the American Sugar Eefining Company, commonly known as the Sugar Trust, for years. This corporation, whose capital prior to January of this year was 550,000,000, increased the capitalization to 575,000,000, and, with this addition to its money power, has redoubled its efforts to bring within its control all outstanding refineries. There were, it is understood, 3,000 individual hold ers of the trust stock before the increase in capitalization. The certificates paid 7 per cent interest on preferred and 8 per oent on common stock. A profit of three-eighths ot a cent per pound on sugar means 915,000,000 a year to the Sugar Trust. Will Co Combined Within a Month. Continuing in his remarks, the refiner who gave the information regarding the Sugar Trust and its plans, said: "The arrangement will be effected, I be lieve, within a month, if it is done at all, and it will be a erand combination of all the sugar refining capital. It is undoubtedly to the best interests of all concerned that this combination be effected. The planters have reaped the great reward which the removal of the tariff on sugar has brought. The re finers have not. The public would not suffer by the combination, and the refiners would make a fair profit, which they do not do at present Refined sugar that is sold to the consumer at 4 cents a pound means a loss to the refiner ofjof a cent on each pound. There are more sugar houses now thau are required to supply the demand. If the iuterests of all refiners are consolidated it would greatly reduce the vast expense attached to the operating of the refineries, and the refiners could be more liberal with their employes. I sav that it looks stronelv as if the consolidation would be effected: but, even if it is not, there will be harmony among the refiners, both in and out of the trust This increase in the stock of the Amerjcan Sugar Eefining Company in Jan uary was for the express purposes of con solidation. Output of Philadelphia Refineries. "Philadelphia's refineries are, by all odds, the greatest in the countrv. "We have nn. excelled fresh water facilities which neither New York no Baltimore has, and the rail road tracks run into our refineries, which they do not do at New York or Boston. Fresh water is one of the most valuable of all commodities connected with the manu facture of sugar. Philadelphia refineries, at their average capacity, turn out about 13,000 barrels of sugar daily. The Franklin refinery makes nearly 6,000 barrels; the Spreckels, 5,000, and the Knight about 2,000. Before the tariff was taken ofi sugar there were 1,450,000 tons of raw sugar boiled up, in the United States. Last vear the increase was remark able, 1,800,000 tons being used by refineries, and this year, if the fruit crop is as good as it is expected it will be, there will be con sumed at the refineries 2,000,000 tons ot Taw sugar. Four years ago the price of refined sugar was 9 cents a pound, now it is 4. Americans use about 70 pounds of refined sugar yearly per capita, and the increase each year is supposed to keep pace with the increase in population, about 5 per cent" A member of the firm of E. C. Knight & Co. said last night that no officer or repre sentative had been in their ofiice or refinery within the past few days. Mr. Searles, the trust treasurer, did not see them. "Within the past 30 days, however, they have been approached and asked upon what tertns they would allow their refinery to pass Into con trol of the trust This gentleman would not say whether they would sell or not Spreckels Is Not Talking. Charles G Harrison, Presfdent of the Franklin Refinery, refused to sav whether or not the trust Had secured control of the plant, Dut it is understood that when Mr. Searles left the Lafayette Hotel last night for New York he had reason to feel mnch encouraged at the condition of affairs be tween himself and the Franklin officials. The same gentleman who vouchsafed the information regarding the consolidation was reasonably sure that the Spreckels interests were included in the deal The trust and Spreckels are on very good terms in San Francisco, he said, and quite recently its representatives were investigating the Spreckels refinery in this city, being con ducted by one of the firm through the plant It is understood that Clans Spreckels will shortly return to look after his interests on the Pacific coast, leaving the control of his Eastern business to his son Adolph, who arrived in Philadelphia from the "West oa Sunday, and who Is now daily at the execu tive offices of the Spreckels interests in this city. No positive information was obtainable regarding the present attitude of the Messrs. Spreckels toward the representatives of the trust, who are said to have visited them yesterday. Spreckels' Cooper Shop Burned. W. G. Pennypacker's barrel factorv nt Swanson and Eeed streets, in the rear of Spreckels' big sugar refinery, was destroyed by fire this morning. The flames originated in a kiln used for drying barrel staves. "While the fire was at its height it was re ported that Fireman George Solley, of En gine Company 10 was inside the burning building. 'In an instant Robert Solley, his brother, a member of .the same com pany, sprang forward to go to his rescue, but at the threshold he was knocked senseless by a big slab of red hot stone that fell from the root The injured man was taken to the hospital, where it is said his chances of recovery are slight It was after wards learned that George Sollev was not in the building at all, but was only a few feet from the scene ot the accident to his brother. The flames burned fiercely for five hours. The barrel factory was erected by Claus Spreckels at the time'he built his refinery and was leased to Mr. Pennypacker. The loss on building, machinery and stock is $150,000, partly covered by insurance. Salvation Oil is above all competitors. Price only 25 cents. Sold everywhere.

Heretofore we have made most mention of the wonderful low prices at which we sell our wall paper and picture moldings. Now, since proving that, we further claim to having more talent engaged as salesman than any store 'in Pittsburg. In addition to our regular force, March i we engaged MR. SAMUEL LOCKE, of Philadelphia, (late with the Chapman Decorative Co., of Philadel phia and New York,) who will deem it a great pleasure in helping those wishing perfect effects to select- papers, matching their drap ings, carpets or colors of woodwork; he will also direct the paper hangers. Some people can't understand how it is possible fine, high art, full length, durable, standard wall paper can be made to sell for 7 cents a bolt, but it can, and we are. selling quite a lot of it This is the grade for landlords to buy. We filled an order for a real estate firm for 4 rooms of paper and border. The bill was only $2.15. The tenants made their own selections (without inquiring prices) and were delighted, though they were privileged to buy to an amount not exceeding $4. This is getting the business down. fine, but when we are satisfied what need you care? Send for samples of these papers; sent free to any address. For the benefit of those desirous of seeing wall papers by gas light, we will keep our .store open till 9 p. m. every evening.
