the men connected With the Bellaire Nail
Works, that that factory has been grossly
misrepresented at various times since the
manufactures the steel nail, and Is at
present getting ONE Shan the usual dose OF
INSTRUMENTATION. The interviewed stated
to the reporter that some gentleman in
Wheeling had been instrumental in spread
ing it about that the Bellaire Nail Works
has more uails on hands than it can handle;
that its ware house il crowded to the roof
and the cellar unde. the factory is being
used to stow away the overproducnon.
Nothing could be more absurd as a look
into the ware house and cellar will at once
show the fallibility of such state
ments. The stock is not even
'arge and the orders for the last four
weeks have been than the production,
A report has also BEEN circulated to the et-
feet that the Benwocd nail works has re-
turned several car loads of steel back 10
this factory. We have read where itnoted
the fact that that factory had concluded to
discontinue the cutting of steel nails as
there was 10 trade for them, but our in
formant was emphatic in his denial of the
truth Of such a statement, and it thought
that the Benwood factory was still at work
ON steel plate. he stated that no steel had
had ever been shipped back and that the
steel nail was enjoying an increasing trade.
In regard to the asSe. ton that the steel nails
could not be made so that they could be
driven without the heads swapping, he said
that il was another untruth concocted TO
iniure the sale of the nails,

Gcllaire people in the following
words: ut is pretty evident that the new
water works engines are a failure, or, at
least, an elephant. When in complete order
they supply the city with water, but at very
great expense. The consumption of coal
is enormous, and the cost of packing and
repairs is likely to exceed the former run
ming expenses of the works. There seems
% be diSsentions in the Board as to whether
hey should be taken oil the hands of the
contractor, or further time lost in expert
menting with them; and unless they are
made to work more satisfactorily
within a short time, it is quite
probable that they wrll be rejected. When
there are so many water works in the
country of the capacity our city requires it
is a pity that we should have been subjected
to any experimenting, The old pumps
worked economically and satisfactorily as
long as they had capacity to furnish the
amount Of water needed, and it would have
occn the part of wisdom to have enlarged
heir capacity by increasing the number of
pumps rather than to have adopted an en-
,ircly digerent system. We trust, however,
that the city will not seriously suffer fiuan.

count OF the blunder.' John Pollack and
Walker Darrah, Of St. Clairsville, were in
town yesterday.
