The West End Board of Trade was Or
ganized on March IA, 1883, under the
name of the West End Property Owners
Union. The first few meetings OF the
Union were held in the Temple-street
engine-house afterwards commodious

Temple street, where they still meet reg
ularly on Wednesday evening of each
week. julius Lyons, Eeq., was the first
President and @. A. Luckenbsck the FIRST
Secretary. The constitution and bylaws
were revised and adopted on January 30,
1889. since which time the organization
has been known as the West End Board

to suggest, discuss, and act as unitedly
as possible in endeavoring to obtain
needed public improvements for the Sec
ton of the city represented by IFS mem
bership, and to secure the establishment
of mercantile and manufacturing indus
tries in the district embraced by the
board.
Fhe board has, since it's organization,
steadily increa led in mem bership and
usefulness. There are now upwards OF
seventy members, among whom are
found many of the representative men
OF the West End. FL. G. Register has
been President OF the board for the past
year, and much OF the success OF the
board is due to his interchangeable efforts
on its behalf. D. 20. Morrison, Esq., the

thus the actions of the board are kept

WHEN WILL IT STOP I?
Carnegie & Co. to Build Eight Open.
Hearth Furnaces at Homestead
AND OTHER ADDITIONAL PLANTS.
The 0'Hara Flint Glass Difficulty Not Yet
Near Settlement.
ITEMS INDUSTRIAL AND INCIDENTAL.

Carnegie, Phipps & Co. are about to
make a number of very extensive improve
ments at their Homestead plant. They will
build eight new open hearth steel furnaces.
At some time in the near future it is
probable that they will erect several blast
furnaces at the same place. Even with the
addition of the two new furnaces they are
now constructing at Braddock, they will
not produce enough iron for consumption
in their mills. When the two new furnaces
are blown into blast they will have nine
stacks altogether and the product of them
will be greatly inadequate to the demand.
The new Improvements for which the con-
tract will be let within a week will cost
over S300,0 Workmen are now engaged
tearing down the old residence of General
Superintendent Schwab, upon which site
the new steel furnaces will be located.
WILL BEAT THE WORLD.
When they are blown into blast, the firm
will have greater open hearth capacity
than any concern in the world. The fur
naces will be operated on the basic process.
1t will take about six months time to COM
plete the work.
Mr.. H. M. Curry, of the firm, was seen
yesterday in regard to the improvement. To
The DISPATCH reporter he said:
at is quite true that we are about to erect
eight open hearth furnaces at Homestead,
but nothing as yet has been done with re-
gard to the placing of the contracts for their
construction, for. the reason that the plans
are not yet completed. A good deal of the
iron work we shall provide ourselves, and
most likely will ask for contracts for the re-
mainder of the work. Just now we are
pulling down some old sheds to make room
for the plant cannot say what the ad-
dition will cost for the reason have stated,
that the plans are not quite prepared"
EXHIBITS SENT TO BOSTON.
The firm will be represented at the Mari
time Exposition at Boston. Among the
exhibits already sent forward are samples
of beams and structural material bent and
punched so as to show the quality, speci-
mems of materials used in boiler con-
struction, such as fire box and fange steels,
samples OF iron, including bars, plates, etc.
The exhibits will be under the charge of the
resident agent in Boston.
Howe, Brown & Co. have also made a
number of improvements in their mill.
They have just completed an open hearth
steel furnace which will be operated by the
Clapp- Griffith process This is the first
open hearth furnace in the mill.

OVERLOOK THE LIMITED.

A Freight Runs Into Another Train Near
Beaver Falls-One Man Killed.
The East-bound limited yesterday morn
ing was run into by freight train at a
point west of Beaver Falls. A brakeman
was instantly killed. The engineer and
fireman of the freight locomotive were
severely injured. The passengers were
badly shaken up, and the observation car
on the limited was completely demolished.
Running but few minutes ahead of the
limited was another East-bound freight,
which broke down at Beaver Falls and
blocked the track. The limited. upon its
arrival at Homewood, was given orders TO
run round the wreck on the west-bound
track and make up its time again. To OBJ
tain momentum sufficient to run MP the
steep grade at this point, the engineer of the
limited had pulled up the track for quite a
distance, and it was when about to back his
train onto the west-bound track that it was
overtaken by the east-bound freight. The
pilot of the freight engine was driven into
the observation car for nearly one-half Of its
length. The passengers were violently
thrown from their berths and all more or
less bruised, though none were seriously in
jured.
Engineer Dougherty and Fireman Carr,
of the freight, jumped. They were both
badly cut and bruised The only death
was that of Brakeman Reeder, who was
crushed between two freight cars. He was
setting brake at the time of the accident
and was caught between the cars and
squeezed nearly fat. He was married and
lived in Strawberry lane. Allegheny.
There is evidence, it is said, of gross
negligence in the manner in which the acci-
dent occurred, and the more so as it hap
pened on two-track road and where the
block system was in use. The railroad au-
thorities are investigating the affair. The
inquest on the body of Brakeman Reeder
will be held to-day.

CAN'T TELL MUCH ABOUT IT.
The 0nly wayfo Tesr Petroleum Territory
fs IN R.rfnrufe IL.

The Only Way to Tesr Petroleum Territory
IL to Perforate 1t.
Some one says the West Virginia oil field
will never prove success; than the Man
nington wei is now only five barrel affair
and showing signs of utter exhaustion and
that though drilling has been going on tor
two years, yet the daily production is only
1000 barrels. It is claimed to be territory
that may yield oil, gas or salt water, the
chances being about equally distributed.
1t seems strange that oil territory predic-
tions should ordinarily be about as reliable
as those ventured on the course of the oil
market, but such is the case. A few years
ago Rigley proved to the satisfaction Of
thousands of intelligent people that there
was very little probability of petroleum ever
being found in paying quantities at depth
Of 1000 feet or more. About the time peo-
pie had Mr.. Rigley's views pretty we'll
digested, the drill struck into about as good
paying sand as ever found, and at depth
of nearly half mile, in Washington
county. This put the qnietus on the dis
pute over the Rigley theory.
Nearly two decades after Butler county
had been perforated with holes until it was
like sieve, for multitudes of them, the
4ol SCbb Wcll5 cVcI AuOdn WCIG 5bIuCk OA
Thorn creek, and there were many other
large ones found in that pool. A month ago
territory in the vicinity of the Arbuckle well
in Stowe township was comparatively worth
less in the eyes of oil prospectors; now they
are elbowing each other in their scramble
for leases, although the territory had been
tested and condemned. A well on the line
in Pine Hollow, mile north of the Ar
buckle came in a duster
In August leases two miles west of the
Arbuckle we'll were surrendered, the COM
panies leasing thus condemning the terri
tory. A well, however, was struck in this
territory, on the Knopf farm, by Dorrington
& Ewing. It didn't make much noise, but
it proved sufficient encouragement for fur
ther operations, and now two more rigs are
going up near it, one on the same and an
other on the Schmid farm, and the Diepp
well, a mile below, has been profit
able venture, and it is also in
territory that was condemned. 1t
is said the Fort Pitt Company wanted gas.
and had so little hope OF getting oil that
while exacting as close bargain as pos
sible with the owner of the farm for gas, al
lowed him one-fourth of the oil, making the
strike big thing for him.
Thus it appears that in oil operations the
drill is the only reliable authority, and at
the best the business is mighty uncertain,
