Two large orders for fire brick were
awarded in this city yesterday. Both of
them will aggregate 100000 brick, or
about 1S0 carloads. They were given to the
Mount Savage Fire Brick Company and
the West Virginia Fire Brick Company.
The bricks are to be used in the construction
Of three new blast furnaces in Virginia.
E. C. Peechin, general. manager Of the
Virginia Steel Company, at Roanoke, Va,

furnaces. Mr.. Peechin left last nikht

Southern iron district. Mr.. Peechin is 81
old Pittsburger, and was formerly connectel
with the Dunbar Furnace Company. Th.
contract with Wiiherow & Co. is wortl
about $400, 900. One Of the furnaces Is to be
erected at Buena Vista and the other at
Graham.
Mr.. Peechin says manufacturers can now
purchase pig iron in the Virginia district at
lower cost than any other place in the
country. He says the number of furnaces
and plants in the ore fields are increasing
monthly. The country around Roanoke is
nov dotted with blast furnaces and the
supply of ores is inexhaustible He says
the furnaces are being constructed alongside
of the mountains from which the ore is
taken. Most of the work of constructing
the new furnaces is being done by Pitts
burgers. The materials used in their con-
structiOn is also mostly all made in this
city. The contract for furnishing the
2, ,0o0, 600 frebrick was given by Witherow
& Co., who sub-let the contract, to the
Mount Savage Company.
Henry King, formerly of the firm of
Duncan & King, of this city, who left for
Virginia several weeks ago to engage in the
blast furnace business, was also in the city.
He placed the contract with the West Vir-
ginia Company, who will begin to ship the
brick Immediately.
Mr.. King has formed a company COM
posed of Philadelphia capitalists, and will
develop the Cripple creek district near
Roanoke. The intention of the company is
to build i've furnaces altogether. The capi-
tai stock of the new company is $500, 900,
which will be increased after they get well
under way. Among those in the company
are Messrs Kimball, Clark and Bullitt.
They intend to operate but one furnace for
the present The stack will be built under
the side of the Cripple Creek mountain,
which is very prolific in ore. Mr.. King was
also formerly connected with the old Grafton
Iron Company at Leetonia.
The plant of the latter company is a new
one, and it will cost from $40 900 to $780,
900 to construct it. In addition to the brick
some of the machinery will be made in this
city. Mr.. King will return to Roanoke in
few days.
E. NJ. Butz 8 Co., owners of the Union
town Iron Works, are also constructing a
blast furnace alongside their mill at Union
town.

A CAMPAIGN DODGE.

ROwand Reported TO be Ready TO Spring n
Labor scheme-He says IL is Not True
Secretary Martins Views.
Yesterday afternoon, and in fact for sew
eral days. the usual campaign runlors have
been flying loosely around, more particu-
larly centering on the Rowand-Johnston
contest as being the only close one. The
latest which have been industriously circu-
lated are that the friends of Arch H. Row
and had negotiated with labor leader at
Braddock to secure the laboring vote, a
bonus of $500 having been paid over, with
promise of more to come. another was that
the seals OF the Amalgamated Association of
Iron and Steel Workers and of the Ameri-
can Flint Glass Workers Union had been
duplicated for documents to be issued on
Monday favoring Rowand's candidacy.
William Martin, the well-known Secre-
tary of the Amalgamated Association, said
that if any such attempt would be made the
man in whose interest it was done would
suffer most, as he would publicly denounce
it as fraud and forgery.
Arch 81. Rowand was interrupted last
night while dissecting a modest lamb-chop,
and asked what he thought of the stories.
He leaned back for a moment, and replied:
''In the first place consider such reports
boomerangs which will injure only those
who circulate them. In the next place the
people who would believe them must con-
slider that my friends and are deriving our
inspirations for campaign work from Dix
mont. Why, I consider that it is in the
labor vote am strong, and it would be the
height of folly for me to ALLEVIATE my best
supporters in such manner. l do not be-
lieve there is particle of truth in the re-
ports, and if there were such action could
only have been taken by my opponents, as
no sane man would suppose me capable of
permitting such a course"

HOW LAWRENCEYILLE GROWS.

About 500 Dwellings Erected There Lnst
Year-A Bright Outlook.
The postal district of .Lawrenceville,
which embraces territory between Twenty
ninth street and Sharpsburg bridge, and be-
tween the Allegheny river and Pearl street.
has seen, within the past year, rapid In
crease in the number of dwellings. Super
intendent Patterson, of station B, stated
yesterday to a DISPATCH reporter that
there were at least 500 houses put up within
the last year. He made personal inspec-
ton of the neighborhood. This was done
on account OF the charge that there were too
many carriers employed at the station. He
now has ten men, but the increase in popu-
lation will soon necessitate the employment
of at least two more carriers.
Mr.. Patterson also remarked that the out
look for LawrenceYille is promising. Peo-
pie are fast moving out that way. He said
that last years building operations were
equal to any five years growth in the his
tory of the neighborhood.
