HOW THE MONEY GOES.

How goes the money? Well,
Pm sure il isn't hard to tell;
II goes for rent and water-rates,
For bread and butter, coal and CRATES,
Hats, caps and carpets, hoops and hose,-
And that's the way the money goes.

The Basic Steel Litigation.

To reporter of the Pittsburg CONNER
| c5al Gazette, Mr.. Jacob Reese, who has just
been declared the prior inventor of the
Basic steel process. told an interesting
story of the litigation had over this impor-
tant patent, from which we extract the
following:
MY real opponent in the suit was the
Bessemer Company, Limited, corpora
tion with capital of 1888, 100000 back of
it. Its principal Office is in Philadelphia,
and Andrew Carnegie, of this city, is one
of it's Directors. The Vulcan Iron Works,
of st. Louis, Joliet Iron Works, of Hi

Iron Works, and six other large concerns
of the United States, form the company
II invented the process. in 1867, if re-
member Alright 1t has been in litigation
since 1879. How did it commence Well,
I will tell you. In 1878 or 1879 Andrew
Carnegie was on his famous coaching tour
in England. While there he attended a
meeting of the Iron and Steel Association
of London. A paper was read by s. G..
Thomas on the basic process. Upon his
return to America Mr.. Carnegie induced
the Bessemer Association, Limited, to
purchase Thomas, Rileys', and Snelus'
alleged rights to the basic process for this
country. Previous to this, however, the
Bessemer Association, Limited, had pur-
chased, subject to royalty of five cents.
per ton, to an amount not to exceed $lO,-
900 per annum, five patents and four in
ventions from me. This contract was to
run during the life of any Of the patents
or inventions transferred. The consider
alton, together with the bonus paid down,
and an amount advanced for legal ex-
penses in procuring patents on the four
inventions or improvements sold them
would amount to about 100000 After
finding that claimed to be the inventor
of the basic process, and after the deci-
sion of The first case was given establish
ing my rights, the Bessemer Association
refused to pay me any royalties, or ad-
vance any money to prosecute my patent
applications, and they have ever since
contested my claim i'll the Patent Office.
my first contest was for a basic process
of dephosphorizing ingot iron and steel.
This case was decided in my favor in 1881.
The present was contest for the basic
lime lining for the converter or open
hearth in which the basic process is car
ried into effect. The history Of this case
is that filed an app LEGATION originally,
which was put in interference with a pat

first before the Examiner Of Interferences,

A gentleman of this section, says the
Norfolk Ledger, who had a conversation
with Mr.. Huntington in New York few
days since, informs us that he was told by
Mr.. Huntington that during the next two
years railroad connections will be made in
the West which will cause ten thousand
miles Of railroad to be tributary to the port
of Newport News. The cargoes of corn,
wheat, lumber, provisions, coal, &C., which
are now being shipped from there are
therefore but the forerunners of a trade
the extent of which will be immense.

was taken to the Board Of Appeals by The
Bessemer Association, Limited. The
Board split their decision, two members
deciding in favor of the Bessemer Asso-
citation Limited. and one member deciding
in favor Of me- Another appeal was ia
ken to the Commissioner in person by me.
resulting in an award of priority in my
favor.
The effect Of the decision granting me
priority is to make the Bessemer Associa-
ton, Limited, lose on the $275, 900 they
paid on the Thomas patents. The perfec-
ton of the basic process has required years
of my time, and in this connection with
it's defence has cost me over $4,000"
1t is not admitted in the above statement,
that the decision of the Commissioner of
Patents III the case of Thomas VS.. Reese,
throws some doubt on the right of Mr..
| Reese to his patent. The Commissioner
said, in rendering his decision in favor of
Reese, that further investigation might
| his right to the patent by reason of delay.
| 1t is important that this doubt should be
removed by further investigation at the
Patent Office, That the true status of the
basic invention may be ascertained. If
Mr.. Reese should be found to hold it, it is
necessary thai this should be made clear,
and if the investigation of the Com
missioner should develop that he has for
feited his right, by reason of delay, then
the public should be acquainted with the
foot. This section of Virginia is espe-
cially interested in having the clouds
which hang over the patent dissipated, as
the iron ores to be found here in unlim
tied abundance are peculiarly adapted to
the basic process. In view of the interest
Virginia and West Virginia have in this
matter, we suggest to the Senators and
Representatives from those States the inn
portance of pressing the Commissioner OF
Patents for final decision, so that all par
ties may know their rights and the public
become acquainted with the necessary con-
ditions to be observed to avail of the in
vention. They could do no greater SER
vice to their constituents than by pressing
the question to definite conclusion.

peculiarly fortunate in the selections they
made to ill the chair of Moral Philoso-
ply and Belle Lettres, and the chair Of
Chemistry and Geology. Each OF the gen
tlemen selected is specially fitted for the

imports. He is an author and has written
several able articles on philosophical sub
jects.
Prof. William &. Brown. elected Pro-
fessor of Chemistry and Geology, was born
in Albemarle county of English parentage
and is 80 years of age. He graduated with

AS the Blair school bill has been defeat
ed, we think it time that the Southern
press and people should quit talking about
it. To revive it at the present session. is
impossible, and to complain about it is
only waste of time, and gives ammuni-
tion to the Republicans. 1t was nothing
but buncombe bill from the beginning.
and one of very doubtful propriety and
usefulness but now that it is dead, there
is nothing to be made by trying to revive
it except on the Republican side Of the
house, Ly'achburg Advance.
The AdUmace is usually very candid, and
for this we admire it. In the above par
agraph it virtually admits that all the in
terest the Democratic party felt in the
Blair bill was to kill it. This it has sue
ceeded in doing, until the Republicans
control both branches of Congress and the
Executive. But the people will continue
to be reminded of this 1nunifcent meas
ure, land that they are denied its benefits by
the action of the Democratic House of
Representatives.
