THE BIG STEEL PLANT GOING UP AT BUFFALO Express of That City Devoted Near ly Three Pages to a Description of It Yesterday. The Buffalo Express yesterday devot ed nearly three pages to a description with prof'ro illustrations of the plant the Lackawanna Steel company is erecting at Buffalo. The article has the following with reference to the build ings now completed: Hack to the north end of the ground., nearest tlio oflicc building, the isilor notes a line of four brick buildings in a row lakevvard. l'ir.-t is the storehouse, CO feet by 100 feet; net is the duplicate-machinery building, 10 feet by 200 feet, nct is the carpenter shop, CO lect by 1'i0 feet; neU is the locomotive boiler liouav, ill feet by 73 feet. Mining on past this low of buildings tho visitor flndj a second row. l'iist is the roll shop, S30 feet by 40 feet; next is the pipe shop and toolhouso, 50 feet by 500 feet; ne.vt U the boiler shop, 05 feet by 'JT.i fcetj next Is the pat tern shop, CO feet by 325 feet, ami the pattern storage shop, the same sie, and nct is the povv ei -house No. 2, at ftet by 100 feel.

Thene buildings aic all finished, all arc niick, solidly built, 'they fotni a column of buildings three luiiks deep. In thenehes they constitute a far greater plant than may be .-.een anj where el-e In it near Ilulfala. M 4 All 11i.it tho vi-itor has noted thus far is cl thcnoith end of the site and pertains to the ltes-emer piocet.s. It is not the puiposc here to touch on what is .vet to be done. It is enough to uic a faint i(Ie.i of what already has been aicomplMiid. Pcihaps it is ju't as well, bow ever, for the lluffjlo tititn to know that the company nUo will build an opcii-be-ltli plant for tho opcn-liiMrtlt piocess ami that it will be southeast of the llessrtnir plant that is licie ile sciibed. The open-heailh I'ontuictlon work will begin without delay nnd it means buildings and struc tures additional to a number bejond the ability of the lay reader at piesent lo follow. Combined with the Ilestenicr pioees3 the open-heailb pio cess will give tho Lackawanna Steel company a plant unsuip.is.-ed in the world, the l.uget single steel plant in tlds country at present. The highest ofllclal at the plant is Henry Well Him, the ger.cial manager, a big- man with a bushy bcaul and a knowledge of the steel busi ness ltnsiu passed in the world, lie is the timtcd ae.sMant of l'ieident Walter Scranton. lie was manager of the plant at Kcianton, recently le tiuaied fioin a trip abio.nl to visit the great steel plants of the Old World, and is in full author ily at the new plant.

Local District Conventions to Be Called In April or May. The election, In Bradford county Saturday, of delegates to tho Bepubli cnti slate convention, which is to be held In IJarrlsburg next June, makes the ninth county election of delegates In the present campaign for tho guber natorial uniiilnatiou, The other coun ties which l.ovo elected ure: Berks, Carbon, Chester, Jefferson, Union, Snyder, Indiana and Susquehanna. AJ1 of these delegates aro for John P. hlltlii. The next Interesting primaries will bo held on Friday In Blair county. Here the voters will pass directly on the merits ot Mr. Ulkln and Colonel L. A. AVulres, of this city. Under the Blair rules, Colonel AVatres fulled to register in time to get his name on tho 1 allot, but Mr. Klkin waived this point and tho names of the two are now on tho ballot. Blair bus been somewhat Insurgent In the past, and It therefore affords a fair field for testing tho cur rents of public opinion in reference to the gubernatorial nomination. Politi cians throughout the stuto aro await ing ItH verdict with Interest. There was talk on Saturday among locul Republicans of prominence of culling the Luckuwanua district con ventions about the last of April or first of May. It Is argued that this would be plenty of time for the state con vention, nnd also late enough to make unnecessary separate conventions later for the nomination of candidates for the legislature, Tito present Intention of the Republican county leaders is to nominate delegates and legislative candidates at the same time, thus sav ing considerable expense. It Is the be lief of some that by the time Indicated the canvass for the nomination for governor will have been defined wjth uutllclent clearness to niuko unneces sary any division of lofal opinion on that point.

He and bis former partner both applied for a li cense for the place, and at the hear ing Monday, Began withdrew bis ap plication. The Municipal league pro tested against Bolund being granted a licence, on the ground It was made for Began. No remonstrance having been filed and tho league being unable lo offer anything In support of Its alle gation of bad faith, the protest was ineffective. The applications of John J.

Albert Buchln, whose license ns a bottler, at 1101 North Main avenue, was refused, was tried at the last term ot court for soiling Illegally. Tho Jury disagreed. Tho trial judge, however, hud some opinions of his own evident ly, ns to whether or not Bttclila should have been convicted. All four of tho applicants for licenses for Lincoln Heights wore refused. They were remonstrated against by thlrty-llvo residents of the place. Forty-three remonstrants, bended z-.VII -. !!. 1t T.lM.r..

Some of the neighbors protested that it wns not necessary. Ineffectual remon strances were nlso filed against John Mednn, ot Maylleld, and John Mowts, of Dickson City.

This was the case, it will bo remem bered, in which the question of guilt hinged on the question as to when blackberries arc ripe. The five applications held under ad visement are for places where exist ing license is attacked for illegal sell ing. ATTORNEY WJLS0N BECOMES CHIEF CLERK To Be the Right Hand Man of Gen eral Manager E. E. Loomis, of the Lackawanna. Attorney John It. Wilson, of the Dela ware, Lackawanna and Western coal department, has been appointed chief clerk to "General Munager E. E. Loomis, with headquarters in Now York. He will assume the duties of his new posi tion tomorrow, although the appoint ment became effective a few days ago. Mr. Wilson was at one time an out side foreman at the Avondule mines, where he obtained much practlc'nl ex perience. He studied law with Taylor & Lewis, in this city, and was appointed attorney for tho. coal department in 1S0S, succeeding the kite M. I. Corbett. The position vacated by Mr. Wilson in the coal department will, in all probability, be lllled by tho appoint ment of Daniel R. Reese, a well-known young attorney, who resides at Ply mouth. Mr. Wilson has earned his promotion by strict application to duty and by ac cumulating an Invaluable fund of in formation pertaining to the mining in dustry. The position of chief clerk to Mr. Loomis, while he was In this city, was held by C E. Tobey, who has been appointed assistant superintendent of the coal department, . The appointment of Colonel It, A, Phillips to the general superlntendency of the department, as mentioned ex clusively In The Tribune on Saturday, has met with popular approval, und the general opinion expressed is that he will cement the already pleasant rela tions which exist between the company and its employes.

MENTION OF MEN OF HOUR MASTER OAR BUILDER CAN FIELD, OF LACKAWANNA. Fills In an Exceptionally Ablo Man ner One of the Most Important Po sitions Under the Company Thos. J. Snowdcn, Common Councilman of tho Second Ward, Makes an Ex cellent Public Ofllcial Something About Colonol R. A. Phillips, tho New Lackawanna Superintendent. One of the most important positions under tho Lackawanna railroad is that of master car builder, and It takes a man to 1111 It who is thoroughly familiar with every detail of the car from the casting ot a wheel to the tint ing of a palaco car. The company wns extremely fortunnte In the selection of L. T. Canfleld, who Is a recognized au thority on car construction, and the L. T. CANFII2LD. ' confidence placed In him Is best evi denced by the revolution of things he has worked in the car shops operated by the company. From antedated equipment nnd customs, Mr. Canlleld wrought out such changes in the Scranton shops, by the introduction of up-to-dnto methods and machinery, that the place is scarcely recognized as the plant of old. Mr. Canfleld was master car builder of the Chicago, Rook Island and Pa cific railroad fof several years prior to 1S;)C, when he became the Chlcugo representative of the Standard Rail way Equipment company, and from there camo to the Lackawanna rail road in April, 1S99. He is the patentee of several articles of railway equip ment, a practical mechanic, and is thoroughly conversant with thd needs of the road. In the formation of the Scranton Car Builders' association, re cently, Mr. Canfleld took an active part and was unanimously chosen its llrst president. He enjoys the confi dence and esteem of the men employed by the company, and Is an organizer of marked ability, having repeatedly demonstrated that fact since he joined tho Lackawanna forces. To have to begin life's battle as a doortender In the mines of one of the biggest coal companies in the country, and, at the age of thirty-eight to be come general superintendent of that company, is an achievement that makes the average man wear plumes. But Colonel Reese A. Phillips to whom this most enviable extension has come Is not nn average man, nnd In the matter of vanity is very far removed from the average. It can be safely predicted that no one will ever discover from any change in the colonel's demeanor that he has come Into a. position at the head of 1S.000 men In twenty-six col lieries with nn annual output of 5,200, 000 tons of coal. Colonel Phillips' career Is one that might well be held up for tho emulation and encouragement of the young. In 1S7-1 he secured a job In the Jersey mine ns doortender at seventy-five cents a day. He kept pushing ahead from one position to another acquainting himself thoroughly with all the ins and outs of practical mining und in the meantime studying during his spare hours to nt himself for the best positions the oc cupation of mining could afford. In 1SS0, he joined the company's engineer corps, nnd perfected himself by prac tice and study In this branch of min ing. For a short time he worked with tho Philadelphia and Reading company, but returned to the Delaware, Lacka wann and Western company In 1S83 nnd continued with the surveying corps until 1S87, when Superintendent Benja min Hughes made him assistant fore man at the Dodge under the late Ed ward Jnines. Four years later, he succeeded Hon. John T. Williams, as foreman at; the Oxford, and after two ears was transferred to tho Pettebone, ns superintendent. A few months later hewas selected as un assistant general superintendent to succeed the late Thomas J. Phillips, When E. E. Loomis became the su perintendent of tho Delaware, Lacku wnnn and Western coal department he retained Colonel Phillips as an nsslst unt superintendent, and before many uiontlis passed the colonel's merit made him the right hand man of the new head of the department.

In fact, Colonel Phillips did not know Hint Mr, Loomis was to be transferred to New York until the letter containing the announcement of ids promotion wits handed to him. The voters of the Second wnrd have once more demonstrated their com mon sense by electing Thomas J. SnowdPtt to sttccceil himself In the common council. Public sentiment has been aroused In tills ward ever since the bribery revelations ot it year and nioro buck, airtl only men who aro thoroughly representative and whnpo reputation for honesty and Integrity placu them oven beyond suspicion, hnvo been returned to councils. II. S. Alwofth, Joseph F. Evans, J. B. Cas teiilne and 'I'. J, Hnowden, the present common councltmcn from tho wnrd, comprise a quartette that equals the tepresonlntlon of any wnrd. Not leaHt among these four Is Mr. Snowdcn, who as a member ot the lumber firm of Mason & Snowdcn, oc cupies a place among the lending busi ness men of the city and who, for this reason, believes In conducting tho nf falrs ot the city on it buslncss-llko basis, Ho lias not had much to say as et on tho floor ot the council, but those who have observed the careful consideration ho gives measures In committee: and who have listened to the suggestions he has bad to offer, know that ho Is a man who will not stand for anything that looks like a "deal" and who will not hesitate lo speak his mind if he deems It neces sary at any time. The councils of this city need many more representative citizens, such as Mr. Snowdcn. LILLIAN BLAUVELT COMING. Will Sing at Home for the Friendless Concert, on April 3. John T.
