THE ~STEEL-RAIL MILL.
Six Perfect Rails Manufactured - The
Machinery Performing Admirably.

Six Perfect Rails Manufactured - The
Machinery Performing Admirably.
The new sIeel-rail mill yesterday produced its
first rails, turning out in a few moments six per-
feet rails, three of them sixty feet long. weigh
ing sixty pounds to the yard. The
mill was started up some four
weeks since. but before a rail was
manufactured the teeth of one of the large
trimmers crumbled in such a manner as to make
1t necessary to replace 1t with a new one. This
done, the mill was started, with the most graft
Tying results. The automatic hOOk-up, which
dlspenses with the services of seventeen men,
known In rolling-mlll circles as hookers, worked
admirably, and is pronounced by the officers of
the mill a grand success. A lengthy description
was given Of the steel mill some weeks since in
the journal, and therefore it needs only be said
that it is one of the largest and best arranged
steel-rail mills in the country; much of the ma
chinery is Of new improved pattern, and to
christen it the model mill is no exaggeration.
How soon the mill will be started up to run
steadily is still o question. How and where to
get blooms at prices which will Justify the COM
pany in keeping the mill in operation is trOub-
ling the officials, and 1t is highly probable that
1t will result in the rOlling-min company putting
up buildings, furnaces, etc, to manufacture
their own blooms from the raw material.

The National SAFE and Lnok Comnanu.,

Inv HdbAoudh 0Aie ana LOCK company
James White, of Canton, O., the patentee of a
new tire-proOf and burglar safe, which has at
tracted considerable attention on account of it's
points ofexcellence, is in the city with a view to
organizing a stock company and building a man
ufaetory in this city. For some time he has been
corresponding with several capitalists here, and
a well-RnOwn banker has offered to donate five
acres of land on the Belt railroad, southeast of
the city, to secure the location of the works.
Mr.. White has models of his safe and locks on
exhibition at the Board OF Trade Hall, and in
Vltes the mechanics and business men of the city
to examine them. The proposed stock company
VIII be known as the National Safe and Stock
company. To put the works in operation will
require a capital stock of between $3.50, 900 and
100000. Employment would be given to be-
tween 200 and 300 men. The shipping facilities
afforded by Indianapolis, and it's central loca-
ton, make it a desirable point for the works,
and an effort is being made by several prominent
business men to raise the required capital to put
the works in operation.

The Tabernacle Matter.

A preliminary meeting OF the JOINT committees
having under consideration the project of build.
ing a union tabernacle has been held, at which
very satisfactory progress was reported. The
continued absence of DR.. PiersOn from the city
prevents definite arrangements being speedily
made, but the committees are receiving much
announcement from various sources. Already
a number of Members of outside churches have
indicated their intention to go In with the new
movement. About one hundred members of the
Second Presbyterian Church will ask for letters
of dismissal tonight, and another large delega-
tion from Memorial Church will take similar ac-
ton at an early day. There seems to be little
doubt that the tabernacle will be speedily
erected.

THE GREAT CONTEST
OF Irvine Binders at LIE xington, Ky.
Results in a Triumph for the
Mccormick.

LEXINGTON, Ky, June l9.-This has been q
gala day in the history of the rural portion of
the blue grass region. The much-talked-of and
vell-advertised field trial of Irvine binders took
place on the farm of James B. Clay, three miles
from this city. Farmers were present from all
quarters and there must have been nearly
two thousand persons on the ground.
There were eleven machines in the field. viz:
Mccormick, Osborn, bennett, Champion, Wood,
st. Paul., Minneapolis, Deering Elevator and
Deering Low-down, Buckeye Elevated and Buck
eye Low-down. Judges were selected and the
bali opened at 10 o'clock, continuing, without
cessatiop, until $50. It was a lively occasion.
The Mccormick, however, stepped TO the front
from the first circuit of the field. The Osborn
did not get through the first side of the field
until it had missed two bundles. The greatest
failures, however, were the Deering ana Buck
pull ont Of the field early in the fight. IL did
not take long TO convince the crowd that the
Mccormick was the champion. The following
was the decision of the shockers:
ave, the Undersigned, followed the machines
In the held trial at Lexington, to-day, as shock
ers, and found the work OF the Mccormick the
pest of any in the contest. The Mccormick did
not miss a bundle and tied tighter bundles than
any other machine. A majority of the other ma
chimes threw a number OF loose bundles, and
several of them choked.

IHasmuch as the shockers handled every bum
die of grain in the field, their decision, unbiased
and unprejudiced as it was, was as strong as the
necessities Of the case demanded. 1t will be OBJ
served, also, that the shockers avoided any allu-
siOn TO the faults of any single machine, al
though several of the contrasting machines made
utter failures. Thus is scored another brilliant
triumph for the wOrld-ren0wned Mccormick.
