PITTsBURG. Pa, Nov. 20.-An improvement
has been made on the Bessemer steel process at
the Edgar Thomson Steel Works, which. it is
said, will have the effect of making Bessemer
steel equal in quality 10 crucible STEEL at about
one-tenth the price. The change consists in the
thorough mixing of the spiegel iron or manga

uniformly earbonize. Bessemer steel can be
produced at cost of cent to a cent and half
q pound, while that made in crucible costs at

A Political Quarrel at Plainfield.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
PLAINFIELD, Nov. 20.-There is 'war to the
knife" or words to that effect, among the De-
mocracy of this place. For some reason. Charl-
ton, superintendent of the Reform-school has
refused to mail anything at this Office since the
present incumbent, Ell. G. Douglas, took charge,
though the school gets all it's mail here. This
refusing to mail anything here reduces the post
masters salary some three hundred dollars; and
this. of course Douglas doesn't like. so he has
asked an investigation. and this morning Post
master-general Villas sent Chief Clerk Hit, r.
M. S.. to this place, but Charlton was away.
What the outcome will be can only be surmised
at present.
