A FAILURE
Tho Lauth Process OF Reducing Old Steel
Rails Fails to Work.

Tho Lauth Process OF Reducing Old Steel
Rails Fails to Work.
The Lauth process of breaking down old
steel rails for nail plate has failed ct the
LsBelle Mill, after thorough trial Of
about six weeks. About eleven weeks
since the LaBelle Company began putting
in the heavy machinery, and five weeks
were occupied in completing the work. II
was the intention TO use the plate made
from old rails for the manufacture Of the
smaller sized nails, ss by the process
not enough plate could be turned
out to supply the entire factory, and ~ the
plate thus produced would cost less than "
rolled from slabs, IL could be utilized TO
the best advantage by being turned into
small nails.
However, unfortunately, after thor
ough test, extending over . period OF six
weeks, during which many breaksges oc-
curred aud much trouble WAS experienced,
the company at last decided TO give 1t
up, and some time last week
the work of removing the
ponderous machinery was commenced.
The old nail plate rolls will be put in
again and it Ia expected they will be ready
to start the early part Of the present week
50 that the factory will probably resume
the latter part.
1t is un1erstood that an addition may
be built TO the mill and the heavy rolls
utilized In making sheet and channel iron.

crouching. he will call to his assistants to

HIS CAMPAIGN OPENED.

John o. PendIeton's Big Beuwood
Meeting.
John o. Pendleton, ably assisted by Col.
W. w. Arnett, formally opened his Con-
gressional campaign at Benwood, Satur-
day evening. addressing an audience which
numbered about three-fourths of the popu-
lation of the town, and which in point Of
size, interest or enthusiasm, has never
been exceeded in the place.
Mr.. Pendleton was introduced to the
audience by Mayor Mahood, and spoke for
more than an hour, handling the live issues
Of the campaign in manner highly sstis-
factory to his an tience and creditable to
himself. A dozen times Mr.. Psndleton
was interrupted by the enthusiastic cheers
OF those about him, and his ar
guments made profound i'm
preston. He was particularly happy
in his handling Of the steel and wool in
terests, ably discussing the Democratic
policy as applied to those commodities,
and quoting convincing figures. His en-
dorsement of President Clsveland's policy
was forcible and interesting, and his ef-
position of the manly course Judge Thur
man has ever pursued where the interests
and welfare of the wage-worker were at
stake, was received with hearty applause.
Mr.. Thurman's action in the Hooking
Valley coal trouble afforded the speaker
fine opportunity of illustrating the course
of the Democratic Vice Presidential candi-
date in this regard. He showed that
when Judge Thurman had, as he sup
posed, retired permanently from political
life, his innate honesty was 80 marked.
that, upon the outbreak of the Hooking
Valley coal miner difficulty, he had de-
cidej, on being called upon, that the mine
owners could we'll afford to pay the price
asked, and this in the face of the fact, that
he never expected to again be candidate
for any Office. This manly and honorable
course was contrasted with the acts of Mr.
Morton, in importing contract labor for his
own use.
Mr.. Pendleton also took occasion to de-
ny and denouncs the assertion that his
father bad been follower Of the Know
Nothing cause, and stated that on the con-
trary, as soon as the Whig party took up
w-Nothingism his father left the or
ganiz alton, Joined the Democracy, aided in
the election Of Governor Wise, land ever
after was consistent and prominent Dem
ocrat.
Col. Arnett followed Mr.. Pendleton In
an effective speech, which was we'll re-
ceived.
