Is Determined TO STAY TO THE FINISH. Captain C W. Batchelor Mentioned as a Bepublican Possibility. M'KENNA SATS HE IS A DEMOCRAT. Captain Kerr Putting Up Delegates Secure the Nomination. to POLITICAL CLUBS ELECT OFFICERS Notwithstanding Dr. McCandless' em phatic and repeated announcement of bis candidacy for the Republican nomination for Mayor there are numerous members of party who are asserting'he will not be nom inated. 'Who is to be the nominee none of them ear. The name ol Captain G W. Batchelor was frequently named in connection with the place yesterday, and while no one was heard to say he wonld be the nominee it was stated he was looking over the ground and conld be elected if nominated. Captain Batchelor is well known as a business man and has been frequently mentioned as a probable candidate for various offices, but never held but one and that was a Federal appointment He stands well with the older residents of the city and it is asserted Would bring out a heavy vote which no other candidate couid reach. Ko More Talk of Slontooth. The talk of Major Montoothas a candi date has quieten down considerably since his declaration in favor of Dr. McCandless, and the latter's statement that he will not consent to be withdrawn. The ex-Sheriff is still putting in his time fixing up his fences, and his friends declare they are in excellent shape. In the Democratic camp the only names talked of for Mayor are 1'olice Magistrate McKenna and Captain Kerr. The only im portant development yesterday was the stand taken against Mr. McKenna by his party organ, on the ground that he is sus pected of Republican affiliations. In reply to this statement Mr. Kenna said last night that he was a good Democrat and if elected wonld give the peo ple as clean an administration as any man could. As to his Republican affiliations he challenged anyone to say that he had ever acted in bad faith witn his party. The fact that he had Republican friends should not stand in the way, he thought, of the support of his party. He was worthy of such friendship or he would not have it, and no Democrat would be elected without Republican votes whether they came from friendship or merit Wants the Votes or His Friends. Mr. McKenna said he was not frightened by the talk of his enemies. He feels satis fied of the support of his -party, and with the votes of friendly Republicans thinks he will be elected over any candidate the Republicans may nominate. The charge that he is a'ringster he denies emphatic ally, and dares anyone to show that he ever lobbied for the passage of any so-called ring measure. He has friends in Councils, he says, whom he believes would vote as he might request, but he had never asked them to vote for a ring measure. Mr. McKenna was indorsed bv the Young Men's Democratic Association of the Fifth ward last night, and Patrick Bar rett was named as the candidate lor ward Alderman. Captain Kerr's Mavoralty candidacy is crowing steadily, and he has begun to set up his delegates. His friends Kay he csn win both the nomination and election, no matter what opposition he may encounter. KOMIHEES -WITHOUT OPPOSITION.

A COLORED FBEACHER'S THREAT. gays the Colored Tote Will Elect a Demo cratic Mayor and Tells Why. Hev. Stephen Madison, a Baptist preacher from Johnstown, saya the Mayor alty question in Pittsburg will be deter mined by the colored voters, and he thinks the Democratic nominee, whoever he may be, will be the next Mayor. As to the basis of his opinion that the colored vote of the city will go to the Democratic can didate, he says when Chief Brown recently announced he would add two companies to the fire department the colored voters re spectfully petitioned that one might be a colored company. Chief Brown retused this request, alleging that colored men were too ignorant for such service. As a rebuke for this breach of promise, Mr. Madison saya, the colored voters will vote the Democratic ticket unless they get that colored company. Mr. Madison knows about these things, because, as he avers, he drove Chris Magee's carriage for seven years. He says be has a list of colored voters who will follow him in voting the Democratic ticket in Johnstown. Wonts. to Be TJ. S. Boiler Inspector. J. W. Lynch, a well-known riverman, has announced his candidacy for the ap pointment of United States Boiler Inspector of this district He claims to have the in dorsement of the Randall Club, of which he is a member, and is securing ether backing with which he hopes to land the prize. Democratic City Committee Meeting. P. Foley, Chairman of the Democratic CityOeamlttee, will issue a call to-morrow for a meeting aexVwest. The eleeticms in both cities will take place on February 21. The Democratic primaries will probably take place on January 7, a week later than the Republican. A WASHINGTON CANDIDATE For the Position or United States District Attorney In This City. J. G Bone, Chairman of the Democrats Committee of Washington county, is mak ing a lively hustle for th'e appointment as U. 8. District Attorney to snceeed Walter Lyon. Mr. Bone's success in the recent election in his Congressional district is ex pected to add greatly to his natural popu larity as a candidate. Petitions are being signed for him in Washington, Greene and Fayette counties. Frank lams, Charles Fagan and G A. O'Brien, the other candi dates for the tame office, are also getting signers to petitions throughout the Twenty fourth district, and the friends of each de clare they are sure winners. Ernest Acheson, the recently defeated Congressional candidate from Washington county, was a visitor in the city yesterday. He had little to say in regard to his defeat or politics generally, but thought Washing, ton county Democrats and many of the Re publicans were in ravor of Mr. Bone's can didacy because of his being a popular resident there. ON HIS MERITS ONLY. Mayor Kennedy Formally Announces Bis Candidacy for Benomlnation. Mayor Kennedy last night formally an nounced his candidacy for renomination. He said he bad weighed the question of his eligibility carefully and with the legal ad vices received was satisfied on that point A satisfactory arrangement has been ef fected between the Mayor and his business partners by which, in event of his re-election, his business interests will not suffer. The Mayor is not over-confident of his election. He says he has received much flatterine encouragement from some of the best people in the city, irrespective of party, and has been informed that his elec tion is aflured, but he is aware of the determined efforts being made by other candidates and does not wish to under estimate their strength. The Mayor says he is before the people on his merits and hopes he has earned their support HE BARS MORROW. Boyle Will Oppose Any Other Candidate for City Controller. County Commissioner Boyle came out yesterday in opposition to any Republican candidate for Controller except E. S. Mor row. If Mr. Morrow will not be a candi date Mr. Bovle favors the nomination of Stephen G McCandless or Christopher Ma gee, Jr., on the Democratic ticket Mr. Boyle thinks Controller Morrow is not a party man. is a good, faithful officer and deserves the vote of all, irrespective of party.

D.Lawrence, of Washington, D. G, a porter on the sleeping car Lxon, was thrown from the Southwestern express on the Panhandle while it was passing through the tunnel between the Union station and Fourth avenue at 10:30 yesterday morning. He was passing into the dining car, and, as the vestibule door was open, a lurch of the train sent him flying off the platform. He had a remarkable escape, as he landed on his head in a mnd puddle between the tracks and a few minntes later astonished the waiting travelers at the Fourth avenue station by walking into their midst bare headed and covered completely with mud, but without an abrasion on his body. Officer Frank Belsch Dying. Frank Beisch, the Southside policeman who shot himself a couple weeks ago, was reported worse last night and there are no hopes of his recovery. He is unable to sleep and his diet has been reduced to almost nothing, the stomach being unable to retain food.

Gas in the ECHOES FB0M THE INDUSTRIAL FIELD The discharging of all the puddlers em ployed at the Union Mills of the Carnegie Steel Company yesterday is only following out the general trend of the iron and steel industry for the past few years. Less pud dling is being done in and around Pittsburg each year, and it is only a question of a short time until the puddler's work will have ceased to be a distinct branch of the iron manufacture. Steel is gradually tak ing the place of much iron not only because It is cheaper, but that it makes better ma terial. It is stated on good authority that the puddling department in the Union Mills has been closed indefinitely. All the men connected with it were paid off yesterday afternoon and given to understand that they would have to seek work elsewhere, as the other departments were full and there would be no opportunity to take other posi tions for which they might be fitted. There were 23 furnaces, with a daily capacity of CO tons, and the men thrown out of employ ment will only inorease the army of idle puddlers now in the Pittsburg district It is estimated that there are fully 3,000 of these idle men in the district, and their numbers are rapidly increasing, as since the first of this year the output of raw muck iron has fallen about one-fifth. Many of the men thus thrown out of employment have been able to secure work in other de partments of the mill, but some are still idle, with few" prospects of securing any position. Steel Takes the Lead. The displacement of iron by steel has been going on gradually since 1881 and has increased in importance in about the same ratio that Its manufacture has been im proved upon. For the first four years there was little decrease in the amount of iron used, but from 1888 to January 1 last the decrease has been very rapid. In the Pittsburg district only one firm is now buying muck iron and one other is making it tor the market Moorhead Brother & Co. buy between 400 and 600 tons a week and make 350 tons. The new Monon gahela plant with 20 furnaces has a daily output of 40 tons which is all sold. It has been more than two years since two other mills, which made this iron for the market, were closed, while two or three other firms have ceased making this class of iron entirely. Many other mills have not only qnit the manufacture of muck iron, but have dismantled the furnaces and will tear them down. No new furnaces have been started up and it is not likely that there will be anv, at least if the present tendency of the market is maintained. Steel is now being used in almost all branches of the trade and for every class of goods. -Until a year ago, iron was used en tirely in the manufacture of tubes. All this is now changed and more steel is being used eaoh month. When the National Tube Company realized that steel conld be prontably used a steel department was ereeted with a daily capacity of 100 tons, which will soon be put into operation. Will No Longer Be Dependent , The finishing departments of the iron mills operated by this company will be in creased by more trains of rolls, so that the skelp iron for the tube works can be turned out in the iron mills. The company has never been able to make more than one half the Iron needed, and had to depend upon other firms for their skelp iron and muck bars. To offset this the in trod action of the Bes semer process has caused the output of pig iron to be greater than ever before. By this process the steel is made direct from the iron and saves both time and money. There are now 26 blast furnaces in this district, -with a daily capacity of over 5,000 tons. This great output has greatly reduced the price, and it is only those companies that have every advantage that can successfully compete in the market The blast furnace of Moorehead, McCleane & Co. at Soho is the only blast furnace not running, and the company is talking of starting it in a short time. The Carnegie Steel Company has 11, furnaces, ten of which cast about 2,500 tons, or half of the whole out put None of this metal is kept on band, as the demand surpasses the supply, so that it is used as fast as made. This company is contemplating the erection of three more blast furnaces, so that it can make all' the pig iron it uses. In the light of these fscts is easy to be explained why the puddlers at the Union Milfs were laid 'off, as the Carne gie Steel Company can little afford to em ploy puddlers when with its improved ma chinery pig iron can be turned into finished steel quickly and easily. A FURNACE CHANGES HANDS. Pittsburg Iron Manufacturers Get Control or a Mill at New Castle. A telegram from New Castle says: The charter of the Rosena Furnace Company was fied in the register and recorder's office here to-day. The business of the company is to be transacted in the city of Pittsburg, whre the main offices are located, and the corporation is to exist perpetually. When completed the new fnrnace will give em ployment to 200 hands. Henry W., David B., James B. and John G Oliver constitute the company, with Charles D. Fraser, ail of Allegheny county, and all of whom are stockholders. The capital stock is 100,000, and each member of the firm holds 20 shares. The Rdsena' furnace is located in this city, and is one of the largest in the United States. It has been idle for some months, but the new firm, after spending $100,000 for repairs, propose to start it as soon as possible. KAY END ANY TIKE. The Strikers at the Union Mills Applying for Their Former Positions. The Lawrenceviile strikers continue to give the impression that they are striking as hard as ever, but as announced in The Dispatch a few days ago, the men are ap plying for positions in the mills, and as soon as an opening ocours they will return to work, regardless of what the leaders say. The men are becoming more discouraged every day, and want something to turn up and change the situation. It is stated that 60 men have already personally applied at the company's office, though many of them attend the daily meetings of the Amalga mated Association. The business men want the strike declared off, so that business may resume its normal condition. There is a growing feeling that the strike will be ended on Saturday. A Homestead Striker Arrested. Patrick Hays, a Homestead striker charged with aggravated riot, was arretted yesterday by Deputy FarrtL He had been away for some time and was captured as soon aa he returned. To Eenew Their Ball.

RECEIVED THE COMPANY. Colored Miners Imported to Break the Strike Broke Their Contracts. Captain Harry Brown, of the firm of W. H. Brown & Sons, yesterday in discussing ihe trouble arising from the importation ot colored miners into the river region to break the miners' strike, said: "These colored men deceived us as well as Chief Elliot. We imported 80 colored miners from Lynchburg, Vs., through Rob ert Day. We agreed to give them 3 cents per bushel and steady employment to June L They went to the company store, made purchases to the extent of 125 or $30 each, and then left They walked to this city, and straightway went to Chief Elliot and told a pitiful'story. At least ten of the de serters we have since found out were not coal miners, yet they had signed individual contracts that they were first-class coal miners. Mr. Elliot should certainly not have given these men transportation with out investigating their statements. The mines are running iulL We hare i-Mr-d some miners from Findleyvllle anil other points." NOT A VERY BIG ROW. The Trouble in the Trades Assembly Will Hardly Amount to Much. "The report that there was a row lu the Trades Assembly," said Master Workman Hugh Dempsey, of the Knights of Labor, last evening, "is news to me. I attended the meeting last Saturday evening and saw no Indications or such a thing. I have been away for the past few meetings, and in my absence something of that nature may have occurred, but I know nothing of it "The only trouble I beard of is a dispute over a constitutional point, but I do not think there will be any serions conse quences. I would like to know who is mak ing the statements that there is a fight on hand and 1 would know how to take the re port There has been no talk of changing our decision in certain troubles; in fact, the Trades Assembly haB no jurisdiction over the question, for the Knights of Labor and Federation locals acted in unison and thev are the only ones who have any say in their own matters." WANT A SHARE OF THE LAND. Suit Brought to Secure an Interest In 17,000 Acres of Land. George 8. Chambers and others have filed a bill against George K. Shoenberger, Jr., Samuel Cooper and Edmund Keatley in the United States Circuit Court The bill re cites that John H. Shoenberger, deceased, possessed lands in Huntingdon, Blair and Center counties, this State, consisting of about 17,000 acres, containing valuable tim ber; that an undivided one-fourth of this land was devised to complainants; that the defendants have taken possession of the land and are cutting timber. An injunc tion is asked for, and next Tuesday is fixed for the hearing. IN A FLOURISHING CONDITION. The Salesmen Assembly Has as Many Mem bers as It Can Handle.
