The Troy stove business,

Thirty years ago cargo of stoves ar
rived in Troy for shipment West over the
Erie Canal They came down the Cham
plain Canal from Vermont, and the
young supercargo in charge Of them Is
now partner in one of the principal
stove founderies in the city. What a
startling changeI Troy now manuiac.
lures and sells annually 10000 stoves,
and there is Of course no necessity for
fetching any more down from Vermont,
There are in Troy fifteen stove found
ries, whose annual consumption Of pig
iron is about 10000 tons, and of coal, TO-.
600 tons. They make 10000 stoves a
year, and give employment to over 1000
moulders, about 250 mounters and filters,
800 laborers in different departments OF
the business, and about 200 skilled pat
tern makers. This pattern making is
quite an important branch of the stove
business. Besides designing and making
new and improved patterns for home
manufacture, a vast number Of patterns
are made and shipped to other towns in
all parts Of the country. II is a branch of
the business which may be said TO be co.
existent with Troy stove manufacture,
and upon whose success il has greatly dc.
pended and still depends. The pattern Is
half the battle in stove casting stoyo-
plates. The patterns have TO be as true
as possible, and to allow for expansion
and contraction in the castings taken
from.
A great pioneer IN the Trey stove
business, but as an inventor rather than
as manufacturer, was Philo Pen1eld
Stewart, born il sherman, Fairfield
County Conn, 1898. In his boyhood Mr..
Stewart exhibited strong fancy ior per.
feet mechanical workmanship, and was
constantly contriying and making minia
ture machinery. For this reason | sap.
pose, his parents compelled him 70 serve
a seven years apprenticeship to a saddler
and harness maker, and were astounded
to find out, at the expiration Of bis sem
tence, that the repository Of strap-oil did
not agree with the lads tastes. Of course
1t didn't. The boys mind was bent on
machinery, not 90 stitching brides. We

After the fall Of the curtain, Barbaia,
overcome with the triumph, went in

was impatient to present to his guest his

The prompter entered.

Barbaia.

the remains of Harry E. Young, the youth OF nine
teen who died at 3o5 East Thirty-nrst street. as
was alleged from the effects Of pistol shot wound
OF the head supposed to have been indicted by him
self with suicidal intent. The testimony OF Mr..
Heron A. Johnson, Of loS Fifth avenue, who was
guardian Of deceased, showed that he was shot in
the rig hit temple by the accidental discharge OF his
pistol. After the shooting the young man told his
guardian that he took the pistol from his pocket,
threw 1t on the bureau ana had no recollection OF
anything that subsequently transpired. Deceased
seemed to have an idea that he had fallen In Second
avenue, near seventeenth street, and In that way
had received the injury to the head.
Deputy Coroner Cushman made o post-mortem
examination on the body OF deceased and found q
pistol shot wound OF the head, penetrating the
brain. in which the bullet was found embedded:
Death, In the opinion OF DR.. Cushman, was caused
by softenng Of the brain, from pistol shot wound
OF the head From the evidence adduced the Jury
rendered verdict Of death from injuries received
by the accidental discharge OF pistol The parents
OF Mr.. Young are said to be absent In Europe. AT
his majority deceased was to have come In posses
sion OF large fortune.
