THE SCKANTON TRIBUNE-MONDAY, JANUARY 61, 1900.
LIVE NEWS Of THE
' INDUSTRIAL WORLD
THAT
SIO STEEL PLANT AT
BUFFALO.
J. J. Albright Is Authority for the
Statement That Work on It Is
Being Pushed as Rapidly as Pos-
slble Would Not Talk About the
Possibility of Moving the Scran
ton Plant to Buffalo Make-up of
the D., L. and W. Board for To
day Ruvlew of tha Iron Xr.tde.
The Buffalo livening News of Satur
day contained the following:
An Important Mel' In tho history ol Ilia
gtrat liuflulo steel plum ul tJtuny 1'uii.t
wuh .taken at Berantuu iccterday. Tne
etodiliolut-rs of the Lackawanna SilcI
and Iron company held u, meeting una
voted to li.ucusu their tupltul trum u,'
7W.0U0 to f&J.fW.UM.
Just what tl.ut move meant tho stock
boldcra would ii'it miy niter thu inciting,
but tho utideistundliig In Scranton, thu
Mime us In Uuffulo, la that It meant put
ting the i-emrtiny It. td.nl u to go uliuud
with tho gnut plant at liuffulo.
Whether tho Lackawanna's plunt will
be abandoned at Scranton when the liuf
fulo plant Is completed, or continued
there as u. brunch of the Buffalo works,
If not known.
Mr. J. J. Albrlfiht, one of the principal
stockholders In tho ccncein talked very
frankly and convincingly with a News
reporter concerning the matter this fore
noon.
"I don't know what 1 can Fay beyond
what has boon wild. In the way of giving
MMirauco thut the sttel plant certainly
will ho built ut Buffalo," bald Mr. Al
bright. "But will anything of a tangible na
ture bo done iu tho near future?'' was
n?ked.
"It seems strange to mc," ho Mid,
"that the people seem unable to under
Hand that a work of this magnitude can
not be done In a week or a. month. It is
not a plant that can bo constructed un
der a temporay shed. Imagine the miles
of plans that must bo made. Think of
the great btretch of machinery that must
be planned for nnd tho drawings that
must be made. Why, If nil the mechan
ical rnglncLts and draftsmen In tho coun
try were employed upon this work It
could not be done In a week ns many peo
ple seem to think. The work 13 progress
ing as rapidly ns possible."
"But when will the work on the plant
bcglnr
"I cannot go into details. There are
naturally many things In such nn enter
prise ns that which cannot bo talked
about In tho newspapers.
"But is not tho company losing a great
dtal by not being able to tako udvnntago
of the high price of Iron and steel?"
"Tho company that Is back of this en
terprise is not building this plant be
cause of the present ndvance In the prlco
of steel and iron. They are building
for tho years that aro to come. They
are building a great plant that will bo
one of tho permanent concerns of the
country."
Mr. Albright was asked to explain just
what slgllnlllcanco tho meeting of the
stockholders nf tho Lackawanna Steel
company at Scranton had yesterday.
"They met for tho purpose of Increas
ing their capital, just us had been ad-
crtlKOd." he bald. "A circular letter was
printed In the New York papers somo
time ago Muting that this would be done.
That lb all there was to thct meeting so
Jar ns I know."
" III the plant bo moved from Scran
ton to Buffalo''"
"That is ono of the things I cannot
talk about. But It seems to me that the
fact that a million and a half dollars
linvo been expended here preparatory to
building the big Ktrtl plant ought to be
bulilcieut assurance to the people that
tho work will be completed. I regret
very much that so much nonsense has
been printed In some of the papers about
ihe Rockefellers and other things in
connection with this enterprise. It does
nobody any good and It injures Buffalo
on the outside."
J. N. Adam, one of tho men Inter
ested In the Buffalo steel plant, said to
a Buffalo Inquirer reporter:
"The Lackawanna Iron nnd Steel
company and the concern which will
ouild the Buffalo plunt aro one and
the same. Now that official announce
ment has meen made, the work will
be pushed forward busily."

The Hard' Coal Trade.
The Engineering and Mining Jour
nal says of the anthracite coul trade:
"The year closes with a cold wave

buyers and remind Jobbers that this is
really winter time and It will bo well
for them to have more than a few
days' supply of coal on hand. This
has, tilt things considered, been a
year of great prosperity for tho an
thracite trade, with higher prices ob
tained than In six years past. The
total shipments from tho collieries
for the year will exceed 47,000,000 tons,
nn Incrcso of over 6,000,000 tons over
last year's record. This output has
been duo to tho general prosperity of
tho country nnd producers have not
been obliged to resort to offering spe
cial Inducements to get buyers.
"Tho year ns a whole has been
singularly free from labor troubles In
tho face of it rising market for labor.
The prospects aro cgalnst any general
change lu the mining rate the coming
year. There muy be local concessions
regarding cost of supplies, docking,
etc.", but thu Indications are that the
miner will be kept pretty busy and his
totul Income will bo good."
Iron and Steel Review.
it Is generally conceded that the
volume of business In Iron and steid
tho past year has been unprecedented
In the history of the country and th-i
Indications at present are that it will
be still greater In 1900.
Tho cupaclty of the entire countrr
wns brought Into requisition the pant
year and yet the demand was In ex
cess of supply; production Is steadily
being Increased by the construction of
now mills and furnaces a well ns the
enlargement of old ones, but consump
tion Is also increasing in the sam.'
proportion.
New General Manager.
Oeorge T. Static has been appointed
general manager by the Erie and
Wyoming Valley Railroad company
and the Dunmore Iron und Steel com
pany. He will take charge today, und
in tho railroad ofilces assume con

partment, having his heudquarters at

He will also superintend all the Iron

A rule has now been adopted by tha
Lackawanna officials thut all watches

ployes must bo subjected to a regular
examination. Saturday morning a
convention of all local examiners was
to have been held here, but it was
postponed until some day early this
month.
The following Is a new order Is
sued by the Lehigh Valley railroad:
"Cabooses have all been equipped
with drag chains. Cars having draw
heads pulled out must in no case bo
6et off along the road if chains can

lision. AMBROSE MULLEY DEAD.
He
Was One of the Best-Known
Business Men of the City.
Sketch of His Career.
Ambrose Mulley, proprietor of Mul
ley's btore, ono of the oldest residents
of this city und probably tho mo3t
widely known citizen of North Scran
ton. died rather suddenly yesterdiy
morning; at about 1.15 o'clock at the
fumlly residence, 2043 North Main ave
nue, after only a few hours' IHiio-h.
Mr. Mulley was at his store Saturdiy
morning as usual, but was taken with
a weal; bpell and was obliged to go
home.
lie felt better in the afternoon, but
wns taken worse about 11 o'clock In
the evening and Dr. Ulanchard was
summoned to attend him. The doctor
worked over Mr, Mulley for over an
nour anil fcucceeueii in urousing th.i
action of the heait. In fact, so pleased
was he with his condition that he was
on the point of leaving, when Mr. Mul
ley Ruspecl a few times and passed
away. Heart disease Is given us the
cause of death.
Mr. Mulley bad a rather varied life,
lie was born on March 30, 1S29, in Ks
sex county. England, and was the son
of Joseph Mulley, u fanner. When he
was one year old his parents moved to
this country and settled at Tarrytown,
N. Y and ufterwurds at Stuyvesant-on-the-lludson,
New York state. Hero
Mr. Mulley' wus reured amid tho en
vironments of a farmer's life und here
he obtained his early education.
In 1819 ho becamo Imbued with the
gold fever, which was then sweeping
over tho country, and he went to try
his luck In the stute of California. Ho
prospected there unsuccessfully for up
wards of thieo years, only muklnsr
enough to keep himself from want. In
1S53 he came eastward again and In
1854 he wuh married In Sing Sing, New
York, to Miss Mary Elizabeth Hoyt.
Ono year later Mr. Mulley came to
Scranton, where he has since resided.
He settled In North Scranton und
opened a grocery store at what Is now
known us Providence corners. The
business rapidly increased and the
building at present occupied by the
store was built by Mr. Mulley and
Nathaniel I'ltcn ana opened as a gen
eral store in 1858, Mr. Mulley buying
out Mr, Fitch's Interest in the building
shortly ufterwards.
He has since conducted the business
and the increasing volume of trade has
made the building of two addition! to
tho original building necessary.
Mr. Mulley was a staunch Republi
can in politics and rtpreientca U
First ward In .select council between
tho years 1876 and 187!. While in that
branch he ahvuyn stood out boldly
against any transactions that smacked
of Jobbery. He favored an economic
administration of tho lity'n 'affairs and
bitterly opposed tho wasting of public
funds.
Ho was a successful business man In
every sense of the word, nnd possessed
to a remarkable degree tho ability to
mind his own affairs and let other peo.
ple'H alone. Ho was n man of the
strictest Integrity and his honesty of
purpose wns never for a moment ques
tioned by anyone. He was a man with
very Independent views on many sub
ject und he held to those views If ho
thought they were right, despite what
the rest of the world thought or said.
Another notable characteristic of Mr.
Mulley wuh his great Industry. Year
In and year out, day after day, ho was
present at the store, looking after the
needs of his customers nnd npplylng
himself to the management of the
business. He was always the first ono
on hand In the morning and always the
last ono to leave nt night, even up to
the very dny of his death.
He wus the president of the Dunmore
Cemetery association and a member of
Hiram lodge of Masons. He wns also
a member of the Providence Methodist
Episcopal church nnd wns for a num
ber of years one of the trustees.
Mr. Mulley Is survived by his wife
nnd the following children, nil residents
of this city: Joseph, William. George,
Belle, Mrs. L. T. Mattes, Mrs. John
McDonald, Mrs. Hlchnrd Cowles and
51 is. O. D. Hinds.
Tho funeral will bo held on Wednes
day afternoon ut 2 o'clock. Services
Will be conducted In the Providence
Methodist Eplscopul church, und Inter
ment will bo made in tho Dunmore
cemetery.
