NLW BESSEMER PLANT.
The Newest Ideas to be Included In the
Pittsbnrg Steel Company's Addition.

The Newest Ideas to be Included In the
Pittsbnrg Steel Company's Addition.
The Pittsburg Steel Casting Company
broke ground on Monday for new Besse-
mer plant, which they will erect by the 1st
of April, at a cost of $5O, 900. The company
intends to make heavy steel castings and
forgings.
The Bessemer plant is being built on a
plot of ground behind the crucible depart
meut. The new building will be 70x7O, and
it will be made of corrugated iron. No new
heating furnaces will be necessary, because
the company will utilize the furnaces in the
mill adjoining the Bessemer department
The Bessemer plant will be entirely new,
and the cupola will be arranged so that the
steel can be transferred into the converter
without the aid of ladle. The only other
plant in America where this easy method
is used in transferring the steel
from one vessel to the other
is situated at Alliance. This method is
considered great improvement on the old
system, because it saves a great deal of
labor and time, which was heretofore neces-
sary when the ladle was used for taking the
metal from the cupola to the converter.
The plant viii. consist of a new blower,
blowing engine, eupoia and converter.
There will be a couple of hydraulic cranes
built at each side of the pit, to be used for
moving molds and setting the pit. The
cranes will be very strong, because the COM
pany intends to manufacture very heavy
steel castings.
The capacity of the Bessemer plant vii
be $50 tons per diem. 1t will take aboH
100 men to work the furnace on both turns

THE oOROEER'S WORK.
Mcdowell Busy Investigating Deaths of the
Past Few Days.


Past Few Days.
The coroner's jury called to investigate
the cause of the death of John Hoban, at the
Allegheny General Hospital, rendered a
verdict Yesterday that death resulted from
pneumonia, caused by neglect and exposure,
and f. D. Eshelman, the assignee OF Hughes
& Temple, for whom Hoban worked,
was censured Tor his failure to provide q
nurse for the man. Witnesses testified that
during Hoban's illness he was without fire
and food. The man was 81 years old.
The inquest on the body of John Lichten-
bach, who was smothered in ditch on Con-
rad street on Thursday, was held yesterday
forenoon. The jury heard the testimony of
the foreman and workmen engaged with the
dead men in the pipe laying, and voted that
nobody was blanable for the caving in of
the ditch bank. The deceased was q years
old and deserter from the German army
Unless the contractor for whom Lichten-
bach worked will pay for the burial, the
body will, be inferred in the potter's field.
An inquest was held partially on the body
of John Becker, drowned Thursday evening
by falling off the steamboat Voyager. Men
connected with the Allegheny County Light
Company swore that there was no electric
current in the wires with which Becker was
working. Further investigation will be
made to-day.
The hearing of testimony as to the death
of Miss Mary c. Campbell at Brushton on
Christmas evening was begun yesterday.
Jones' the engineer OF the oyster train, said
that at the time Miss Campbell and her
companion were struck his train was passing
a freight train. The night was foggy and
dark and the men in the cab saw nobody on
the track until the accident occurred. Fur
ther testimony will be taken to-day.

BRICE AND BRYCE,

Within q week the Democratic party or
ganization has passed under the control of
Calvin S. Brice, and the North american
Reuieao has been turned over to General
LLOYD S. Bryce under the rule of the late
Allen Thorndike Rice. Both men are being
talked about a good deal, and the press is
full of paragraphs concerning their abilities
and prospects. The similarity of their
names seems likely to produce some confu-
sion among politicians and literary men.
For instance we can readily conceive the
possibility of Democratic politician writ
ing letter to Mr.. Bryce, the editor, asking
him to lend his influence to have his cor
respondent put in charge of the local Demo-
cratic organization. 1t isquite on the cards
too that the politician imagining he was ad.
dressing his commander-in-chief, would
enter into details of party movements that
would be exceedingly interesting to the
editor of a magazine with Republican lean
ings.
Or, again, some literary fellow might
make a similar mistake as to the calling of
Calvin S. Brice and send to him man.
uscript of a demolishing review of Mr..
Cleveland's doings, entitled, for instance,
''The Cleveland Conspiracy" The elastic
conscience of party manager, it is safe to
say, could be stretched to permit the return
of the manuscript with the curt comment,
rejected with thanks"
In short, complications so damaging are
likely to proceed from the confusion of
Brice with Bryce that we deem it the duty
of both of them to issue an explanatory card
to the public defining their identity. If
they will not do this, how would it be if the
Democratic party were to start magazine
for Brother Brice and the Republican party
were to make Brother Bryce chairman vice
the Hon. Matthew Stanley Quay? Anyhow,
prompt action is necessary.

LOCATING THE RESPONSIBILITY,

1t is interesting to be informed that the
changes made in the machinery of the new
war vessel Charleston are due to a mistake
in the plans furnished by the English ship
wrights, and that exactly the same error
had to be corrected'in the japanese steamer
Nani-wa-kan before the vessel succeeded in
making the necessary horse power" This
is evidently intended to let the contractors
at San Francisco out Of the mess; but what
does it do with the glowing reports sent of
the first trial trips, to the effect that the
vessel had shown the necessary horse power
and a good deal to spare? There was good
deal of champagne on these trips, it has
transpired, and it has been supposed that
the champagne was responsible for these
very roseate statements. But since the En-
giish shipwrights are responsible for the
error in The machinery, it may be also
found that the English shipwrights were
responsible for the press reports which
manufactured a success for the vessel that
had no real existence.

WORK AT HOME.

Senator Cullom, of Illinois, is quoted as
giving his opinion to the effect that the
solution of the Canadian Railway problem
lies in the passage of law in Canada
modelled on the plan of the interstate COM
merce act By this means, he thinks, that
the inability of the Canadian railways to
make excessive charges on their short haul
traffic, lying exclusive in Canada, might be
restrained. This iscorrect enough; such "a law
would be very desirable for Canadian ship
pers; but the function of United States
Legislators in caring for the interests of
Canadian shippers, seems rather strange.
There is exactly the same thing nearer
home for them to give attention to, if they
desire. The very lines which are complain
ing of Canadian railroads have the same
exemptions from the short haul clause. in
States where there is no such law. The

it is to be observed that the New York press
is still urgently claiming the title of that
city to be the site of the great Worlds Fair,
which in 1892 is to commemorate the dis
covery of America by Christopher Colum-
bus. Their persistence is commendable,
and it must be admitted that New York has
within the past few weeks done much to
improve its position as the claimant for
that great show.
In the first place, New York is unques-
tionably the chief city of the New World,
which Columbus discovered 400 years ago.
In that character it ought to be able to
make the Worlds Fair success, and in
some features it has improved its ability
since the Inauguration Centennial. Mr..
Ward McAllister Is understood to be re-
tired to private life. Mr.. Stuyvesant Fish
is hanging on so grimly to the profits of
that disreputable ball that he is not likely
to be again prominent in the management
of another affair. If this process of retiring
the prominent figures of the Centennial OF
last spring is continued for the next four
years, there is every prospect that the
Worlds Fair at New York in 1892 might
be a success.
But it is to be remembered that the men,
bers of the Legislature and the Board of
Aldermen are still at large. When New
York corrals all the prominent figures who
made the Inauguration Centennial holy
show, in idiot. insane andinebriate asylums,
then its title to the Centennial of 1892 will
be undisputed.

AN UEWIsE COURSE.

The report comes from Washington, by
way of the telegraphic columns of the San
Francisco Call, that the Department of the
Interior is contemplating the reopening of
the land grant decisions made by the last
Administration, in the Guilford Miller and
other similar cases. 1t is to be hoped for
the credit of the Administration that this
report is not well founded. The decisions
referred to came nearer to giving the actual
settlers an even chance as against the land
grant corporations, than any other action Of
the Executive for several years. To have
these decisions reopened and to give the cor
porations a new chance to dispossess the
settlers, in the first year of this Administra-
ton, would go further toward justifying the
assertion that the Republican party is favor
able to corporations and land grabings than
any other act could do. Both for the pub
lie interest and as an act of mere policy, the
Administration should refrain from any
such act in the interest of the land grant
corporations.

A Collision With an Iceberg.

The North German Lloyd steamship Saale
slid over the foot of a tall iceberg on Tuesday,
June II, at 11;30 O'Clock in the evening, in lad-
tude Al, 81, longitude 40, 81 Four hours before
this the tramp steamship Orsino, which ar
rived to-day from Mediterranean ports, passed.
in latitude 49, q, by longitude AZ, 80. about 100
miles to the northeast of the scene of the
Saale's adventure, an iceberg as big around as
two city blocks and $50 feet out of water.
Captain Evans did not see the glittering levia-
than until 1t was nearly two miles astern. 1t
was concealed behind an imprenetrable veil of
fog when he passed it on the starboard. He
conjectured that he was at one time within
mile of 1t, as the air was of wintry GOODNESS.
He was aware that he was in the neighborhood
of ice several hours before he saw the big ice
berg, and he ordered the Orsino to be run at
quarter speed. A dark spot in the iceberg at
tracted his notice, He took a long look at it
through his glass. and observed with some sur
prise that the dark spot appeared to be black
paint scraped from the side or bow of steam
ship. There was an indentation in the iceberg
that looked very much like the imprint of a
vessels bow. There was no wreckage in the
neighborhood of the iceberg. Captain Evans
thought it very likely that ship had run into
the iceberg. That does not necessarily mean
that the ship went down. She may have been
tramp, which, like all vessels of her class,
ran great risks to make a quick, economical
passage.
