Discharged Allegheny FIremen Say They
Were Not Running Speak-Rasy-Per.
sOnaI Jealousy Charged.
The dismissal of the whole company OF
No. 10 Engine Company, Allegheny, by
Chief Jones, has started considerable talk
among the people living on the hill where
the engine house is situated. 1t will be re-
membered that the men were charged with
running speak-easy in the engine house
and with being disorderly. Alex. McMil-
Ian, one of the discharged men, was seen by
a DISPATCH reporter yesterday. In re-
sponse to inquiries Mcmillan said:
''The charge that we were running a
speak-easy is totally false. live next door
to the engine house, and it is not likely that
1 would have liquor in there when l could
have it so handy at my own home, if wanted
it. We were not discharged for running a
speak-easy, however. but to satisfy per-
sonal spite that one of our neighbors had
against u.s. This person went to Chief
Jones with story which be believed and we
were discharged. The only thing that both
ers me, is that we were not given hearing,
and had no chance to tell our side of the
story. However, have made application
for reinstatement, and hear that petit
ton to that effect is circulating about the
neighborhood, though 1 have had nothing to
do with sending it out.
One of the firemen who is now at the
engine house, when asked if he would recog-
nize Chief Jones' right to discharge him, in
case the Chief should do so, said:
"Why, certainly. The late Chief Grow
had that power, and when Jones was elected
his successor the power was transferred to
Jones, and know he has not been deprived
Of it. If the Chief could not discharge
whom be wished, things would come to a
pretty pass. The Councilmen and their
favorites would own the department"

MILL IMPROVEMENTS.
A New Corrugated Building for the Carbon
Iron Comparative Open Hearth Eur.
nacea IN he Built.

A New Corrugated Building for the Carbon
Iron Comparative Open Hearth Eur.
naces TO be Built.
The Carbon Iron Company, on Thirty
second street, which has been in existence
for about Is months, has decided to make
extensive improvements at its mills. When
the present company bought the property
from the defunct Graf, Bennett &
Company they partially altered the works.
The Carbon Company took the mill as a
venture. The process by which they make
steel, known as "direct," was not demon
strated, and 1t was a matter of conjecture
whether it would prove successful.
The west side Of the works is in q dilsp-
idated condition. No improvement has
ever been made on the buildings since they
were erected, 20 years ago. The plan of the
Carbon Company is to tear the old build
ings down and replace them with CORFU
gated iron structure. In the renovated part
of the mill it is the intention of the man
ayers to furnish it with two open hearth
furnaces. These will have $4,000 pounds
capacity, and constructed on the same plan
as the other four that are in working order
uOHs 4u6 VI VIC NAiSCI ptOSCso
open hearth furnace is not like
the ordinary furnace. They con-
vert steel from the ore, whereas
the general practice is to make steel plates
from mixtures of iron. The company pro-
poses to erect two large rolling mills for
breaking down the ingots into steel plates.
The rolls will be from 20 to 80 inches in di-
ameter. The mill is to have rolling tables.
Another improvement settled upon is to
move the pumps from their position down to
the river. Mr.. Samuel Harris, who is to
make the alterations and do the excavating,
said that q we'll would be sunk at the
rivers brink similar to the one at the Lucy
furnace. This will be a great accommodation
to the works; the pumps are now situated
more than 100 yards from the river. They
will sink the new water shaft about 80 feet,
and it will be 10 feet wide. Three pumps
will throw the water into large receiver,
and from this the mill will draw its water.
The rebuilding of old works and fixing it up
with improved machinery. together with
sinking the new well, will approximate
800,
Clark Bros, of the Solar Iron Works,
have broken ground for the erection of two
30, 900 pounds open hearth furnaces. This
is an innovation at the Solar works, because
in the past they have never made anything
but iron hoops. The new furnaces will be
ready for work in the course of six weeks,
and it will require 80 extra men to run this
department. What the steel company pro-
poses to make is an extra fine boiler plate
and tank sheets.

BELLICOsE BEAN EATERS.
Rather Than Pay for the Boston Delicacy
They Fight.


Charles Cant, colored gentleman,
seated himself in Fifth avenue restaurant
last evening and, ordering a plate of baked
beans, did justice to the subject with q
3 grace and vigor worthy of native Bos-
tonian. At the conclusion of the repast he
took exception to the fact that the en-
broidered corners of the napkins were not of
a sufficiently classical design, or found some
other valid reason for refusing to pay tine
Is cents demanded.
The waiter, who was somewhat of Bos-
tonian himself, of the Sullivan class, pro-
ceeded to take about IL cents worth of ex-
erclse out of the colored customer, while
another colored man named Charles Real
objected to this style of delinquent bean
tax collections and sailed into the waiter.
Some of the customers, probably with an
eye to the spoons and wish to create con-
fusion, shouted "MurderT "PoliceP' and
other Yociferations calculated to add oil to
the flames.
Detectives Demmel and McTighe arrived
on the scene about this time, and taking one
each of the impecunious besn-eaters, placed
them in Central station. where this morning
they will be charged with disorderly con-
duct, as well as Is cents for the beans.

THE CITY'S WATER.
Proposal to Draw the Supply From Deep
Wells in the River.

Proposal to Draw the Supply From Deep
Wells in the River.
In LawrenceviIle lately considerable talk
has been current To the effect that Council
man Hugh Ferguson, of the Seventeenth
ward, intended at the meeting of Councils
to-day to introduce a measure to have the
city secure the water supply from a source
other than it now does. The scheme, which
it was said Mr.. Ferguson would introduce,
was that the city could get water supply
in a manner similar to the method at the
Lucy Furnace. There a very deep shaft
had been sunk on the river bank at the
furnace, and the inflow of water into the
well is as clear as crystal. From 5000, 900
to 5000, 900 of gallons of water are pumped
each day by one engine alone.
Mr.. Ferguson denied that he intended to
take any such action at present, though he
considered the scheme feasible. Six or
seven engines, he said, could furnish the
city with water. and the total cost would
not exceed So, 900.

teronomy xviii, in which God speaks OF
taking the children of Israel and raising
them above all nations of the earth.
Mr.. Prugh began by comparing this nation
to the Southern nations, which, he said,
were under the influence of Roman Catholic
Spain. He dwelt on Protestant Christianity V
being conducive to the intellectual proper
ties, and spoke of the two great things of
this nation-the open Bible and the public
schools. These he said led to national pros
perity. He thought that ii the Pittsburg
Entertainment Committee had had time
they would have pointed out these leading
features to the Pan-American delegates to
demonstrate that the United States was the
greatest nation of them all.
