This was adopted, and George W. Harkins, was
appointed Secretary. Hon. William A. Porter
then addressed the meeting, paying a very high
tribute to the memory of the deceased, and speaking
very touchingly of his friendship for him. He
was followed by George W. Harkins, Esq., who
spoke very feelingly of the long and intimate
friendship that had existed between him and
Captain Moss. He offered the following resolu
which were unanimously adopted:
Whereas , The Bar of this city has learned with
feelings of the deepest sorrow of the death of their

CASTING OF A MONSTER GUN
ONE HUNDRED ADD SEVENTY-TWO THOU.
SARD FOUNDS OF METAL AT ONE HEAT—
THE LARGEST GUN IN THE WORLD.
[From the Pittsburgh Despatch, 12th.]
It has been generally known for some months
that preparations were .making at the Fort Pitt
Works for the casting of a monster columbiad gun
of twenty inches calibre. -These preparations
were completed on Thursday, and the gun cast,
an unparalleled feat in the manufacture of iron.
As the successful issue of the experiment will
doubtless attract considerable attention, not only
in this country, but abroad, we will enter upon a
somewhat detailed description of the process,
premising, that aside from the magnitude of the
undertaking, it is similar in all respects to that
adopted for the manufacture of all heavy ordnance
on Captain Rodman’ 8 patent. In order to convey
a clearer idea of the extent of the operation, some
description of the foundry will be essential.
THE FOUNDRY.
Since the outbreak of the war the demand for or.
dnance so far exceeded the capacity of the works,
already large, that ad addition became n< cessary,
and the foundry was extended about one hundred
and ten feet, filling up tbe entire distance from
Etna street to the river, while the “boring mill”
was extended in the same manner from Walnut to
O’Harastreets. jlri the new foundry all the fittings
were of the most massive character, being con
structed with an especial view to the manufacture
of heavy ordnance. Two large and two small pits
occupy a large portion ot the area of the floor, and
are calculated, if necessary, to tnra oat three or
four 15- inch guns per week. They are so arranged
as to be commanded by the gibs of two great steam
cranes, sufficiently powerful to lift the guns di
srctly pit.
THE REVERRXRATORT FURNACES
in the new foundry are three in number, and of a
capacity unknown outside of these works. Two
are calculated to reduce twenty-five tons each of
metal, and the third forty tons, at a single heat.
They are so arranged as to pour the metal into a
a reservoir with the shortest length of «‘runners’ ’
possible. Before they were built, furnaces of
twelve tons were considered too large for safe
handling.
THE FLASH
in which the great gun was cast, is itself a mas
sive piece of cast-iron. It is of octagonal shape,
formed of iron of an inch-and-a-half in thick
ness, and thickly stndded with supporting ribs ot
six by four inches. It was cast in several sec
tions, fitted together into halves, the opposite
sides being left open for fixe filling of the
mould. The entire casting weighs about twenty
tons, and the mould, with sand and brackets,
probably about forty. The construction of
the patterns alone, of the flask and gun oc
cupied many weeks. In preparing the mould
one-half of the pattern is laid upon a smooth
platform of planks, known as the * ‘fallow
board covered by one-half of the flask, and
filled with sand driven compactly into the space
between the pattern and the flask. It is then turned
over, the other part of the pattern and flask ad
justed to their places by “steady-pins,” and the
mould completed. The pattern is then removed,
and the parts are separately dried m an ovea, to
expel the moisture Irom the sand, and after being
coated with a mixture to smooth the surface, are
luted together carefully, lastened by massive; iron
brackets, and lifted into the pit.
THE COKE BARBEE
used in the manufacture of all guna of Rodman’
patent, is a long fluted cylinder of Iron, semicir
cular at?one end auffclosedat the other by a cap,
through which a pipe enters and passes nearly to
the bottom of the cylinder. Through this pipe a
stream of water is conducted to the bottom of th
barrel during the process; of casting, and rising
around it to within a few Inches of the top, is car
ried off by a waste pipe. This barrel is rathe
smaller in diameter than the rough bore of th* gun,
and is prepared for the casting by wrapping it with
a layer of hard cord, which is then coated with a
peculiar refractory composition. This casting o
the barrel “vents” the metal—that is. affords an
exit to the gases generated during tbe casting
which pass along-the flntings of the barrel and
bum fiercely at the top; the barrel when coated is
* also subjected to the drying oven before being lifted
into the mould. The centering of the core in the
mould is a task of.extreme delicacy, but with con
stant practice the employes iu the works have be
come so expert as to insure almost perfect accu
racy. The barrel is supported at the upper end
by a massive tripod, lifting its head some two feet
above the upper edge of the flask, and enabling the
workmen to observe the rise of metal in the mould.
During the operation of casting a constant stream
of water pours through the barrel, keeping down
its temperature and cooling the gan from the
interior.
THE CASTING.
Tbe labor of many weeks’of. preparation closed
on Wednesday. The flask was lifted into the pit,
closed and luted, and the core, barrel fixed in its
place. The three furnaces were charged, one with
thirty-nine tons, and each of the others with twen
ty-three and a half tons of metal, chiefly Bloom
field, and worth about 565 per ton at the furnace.
One of the smaller furnaces in the old foundry was
also charged with twelve tons of metal as a reserve,
in case of accident. From each o? the four furnaces
lines of opentronghsof cast-iron,knownas “run
lers,*’ led to the “poo.” or reservoir beside : the
pit, from which two shorter lines connected with
the mould. In moulding, two long cylindrical
bars are laid beside the pattern, forming, when the
flask iB closed, a circular opening on each side of
the mould, leading to the bottom, and connected
with the mould by openings all the way to the top;
breaking tbe tail of tbe heavy flood of metal be
fore reaching the gun bottom. With each of these
openings or “gates” is connected one of the run
neTS from the pool. The furnaces were fired at an
early hour on Thursday morning, and everything
working mos,t admirably, the charges were reduced
before twelve o? clock.
Notwithstanding the silence observed in regard
to the operations of the works, quite a large num
ber of spectators, including a number of ladies,
managed to securwadmission to the At
twenty minutes past twelve the furnaces were
tapped, and three fiery streams, of metal poared
into the pool and thence into the mould. The re
duction of the metal has been so successfully per
formed that no difference was perceptible in the
character of the iron flowing from the several fur
naces. The filling of the mould proceeded with the
same success, and at a quarter to one, twenty-five
minutes after the furnaces were tapped, the mould
was filled and they were stopped off, 170, OOOpounds
of metal having in the meantime passed through
the pool—nearly 7,000 pounds per minute. The
operation passed off more successfully than any
casting we have heretofore witnessed,no- difficulty
arising at any stage, notwithstanding the immense
weight of iron used. For this perfect success the
firm is in no small degree indebted to the foreman
of the foundry,. Mr. Joseph Kaye, already well
known as the most successful manager of heavy
ordnance casting in the country.
AMONG THE SPECTATORS
present were a number of army and navy officers,
several of whom were engaged officially. Em
braced in Jhis list were Major T. J- Rodman, of
Watertown Arsenal, upon whose patent all hol
low cast guns are made, and at whose instance the
experiment of this monster gun was undertaken;
Lieutenant. Colonel Dyer, of Springfield Armory;

will be reduced in the lathe from a rough weight
of 170.000 pounds to a finished weight, calculated,
of 115,(J0!V The whole length from bTeccli to muz
zle will be 243.33 inches; length of bore 210 inches.
The maximum diameter will be 64 inches, mini
mum, 34 inches. The solid round twenty-inch
shot will weigh one thousand pounds, and the
shell about seven hundred. Tbe.charge of powder
will vaTy according to circumstances from sixty
five to eighty pounds. Some two weeks mnst
elapse before the gun will be lifted from the pit,
and many weeks before it will leave the lathe in a
partially finished condition, to be chipped, filed
and fitted ready for mounting. TVe presume that
the testing will be performed in this vicinity and
the gun then sent.east to some one of the sea coast
forts—probably at New York.
THE LATHE .
in which this gun is to be turned is one of tne
most massive, we believe, ever constructed, and
was gotten up expressly for the monster gun by
the draughtsman of the firm, Mr. K. Wade.
To accommodate it, an extension was added to tne
North wing of the works, along theriver bank.
As the spot on which it Is located is “made
ground” of the relusc from the foundry, gr® at
care was requisite in securing a proper founda
tion for such a massive superstructure. A*: ex
cavation about sixty-five feel in lehgth; twenty in
width, and thirteen in depth was fluea
for three . feet in depth by a tho
roughly grouted mass of stone work.
Upon this foundation were secured an im
mense bed-plate. and the bases of thirty cast-iron
columns, amriged. in pairs, and supporting in
turn the caps upon which the “shears
lathe rest. These columns aTe eight feet high,
and ten inches in diameter, and the 1
in two pieces, are eighteen inches high, a hont
twelve inches face and sixty-five feet long. They
were placed about five feet apart, coupled by caps,
and strung together by the shears. As soon as the
immense castings were fitted and securely bolted
tothrir places. tbe interior of the pit was soUdlv
built up with brick laid in cement, ; form»ng a rigid
mass from top to bottom, with a longitudinal pit
extending from end to end. Nothing ies3 than
this rigid foundation could be used in the heavy
work for which the lathe is designed*
Upon the shears rest the .ordinary tool slides,
massive pieces of cast iron. The lathe will be
driven by a pair of six-inch cylinders, twelve teet
stroke, working at right angles, and builtforthe
purpose by M’lntosh & Hemphill, by whom a
large amount of the castings were furnished. The
driving wheel and face-plate is nine feet in diame
ter, and so geared as to exert an enormous power.
The substantial manner in which the lathe is put
down reflects the highest credit .on the foreman of
the machine 6hop, Mr. John H. M’Elroy, under
whose supervision the work was .performed. To
convey a better idea ot the massive character of the
lathe than can be gained from a mere detail of
dimensions, we give the weight of metal in the
principal pieces composing it:

—XTR a ORDfNaRY Marriage;
MANCE IN REAL LIFE.
In the early part of the last summer the million
aire, young ior. B , a gentleman of the highest
refinement and taste, who has realized an enor
mous foitne in trading in Japan, was at GOULD’S
UNION FURNITURE DEPOT, corner NINTH
and MARKET Stieeta, making purchases of FUR
NITURE for his bachelor rooms. A sweet, bloom
ing young lady, who had, perhaps, seen nineteen
or twenty summers, entered the store a few mo
ments later, and addressing one of the attentive
salesmen, said she would be pleased to purchase
an easy arm-chair as a present to her dear mamma,
who was an invalid, but she could not afford a
very costly one, her purse being small.
Mr. Gould was in the office when she entered,
but at once came to meet her, with a smile ex
panding liis countenance to doable its usual size.
He said, how do you do, my dear Miss A! How
E leasing u is to see you looking well and happy! I
ope the Furniture we sent your mamma gave
satisfaction, and that she is recovering from her
illness. Yes, sir, lam happy to say that she is
much better, and that is tne reason I look so
pleased and happy, as you are good enough to
compliment me by saying. As regards tho'Fnrnl
ture, she was delighted with it. Nothing could be
more to her taste or better finished. She said she
co old not understand how you could afford to send
her so mnch good, handsome furniture fpr so little
money. But really, Mr. Gould, everybody that
purchases Furniture at either of your establish
ments says that it is the cheapest and best Furni
ture to be had anywhere. That moment Mr. G.
was called away 1 Hiss -A. made her purchases
and left.
By St. George, Gould! said Mr. B , who is
that sweet girl! She has the smile of an angel, with
the modesty oi Susanna, and her figure is perfec
tion; set of by a neatness of dress and elegance of
style that, positively, I quite envied you talking
to her. I would come and buy furniture of you
everyday if I could get a glimpse of that lovely
countenance. She Is my bean-ideal of female lov
liness. And well she may be the beau-ideal of any
one that loves the good and pure, said Mr. Gould,
for her xrind, if possible, surpasses her beauty in
sweet amiability and goodness. She is the
only daughter of the once wealthy George
R-i—, who failed in fifty-seven, and
died shortly afterwards, entirely
broken down, leaving his widow and child penni
less. Since then she has supported herself aud
widowed mother in comfort by giving instructions
on the piano, on which she is a splendid per
former. I know you have a passion for music.
Suppose you come aud spen-1 the evening with me
to-morrow I think it will afford yon a treat, as
Mr 6. G has one of her musical parties, and
Miss A has promised to be there If agreeable
to you both, Mrs. G can then introduce you.
I accept the invitation with pleasure, and many
thanks; but don’t forget, my boy, to send that
Wardrobe, Cbair, and Marble-top Table I have
selected. I will pay for them now, so as to insure
yonr sending at once.
Just three months after that evening, Mr. B
came to GOtTLD’S UNION FURNITURE
DEPOT, N. E. corner of Ninth and Market, with
the lair and lovely Miss A hanging on his arm.
They selected Kitchen, Dining Room, Parlor, Bed
Room and Library Furniture, in complete sets,all
of the newest and most elegant descriptions, for a
large house in the West End of the city.- They are
to be married in a month, -and Mr. says it is
owing to his visit to Gould’b Union Furniture
Depot that he gets a portion that he values beyond
all price. He shall always recommend all who
wish to do well, and be well served, to purchase
their furniture, cheapest and best, at Gould’s
Union Depots, N. E. corner NINTH qnd MAR
KET Tina N. E. corner SECOND and RACE
streets.
To-day they are married, and are the happiest of
the happy, and Mr. B——promises to bay another
small piece of Furniture shortly at GOULD &;
CO.’S UNION FURNITURE DEPOTS, N. E.
corner NINTH aud MARKET and N. E. corner
of SECOND and RACE streets. D§
