THE TRIP TO BENWOOD.
An Enjoyable Visit to the Tube Works and
Steol Plant.

An Enjoyable Visit to the Tube Works and
Steol Plant.
Two hundred and fifty invitations were
issued for the trip to BenwOod TO visit the
tube works and steel plant, and the train
was announced to leave the "Pewiky"
depot at 7 o'clock, bat as the visitors to
the PARK did not get back into the city
until after six O'Clock they could not make
connections in time and it was past seven
o'clock before the first of the visitors
reached the depOt
There we're quite a number of citizens
down there and the scene was quite an
animated one. Members of the reception
committee were stationed at the car doors
to prevent unlimited guests from entering,
as great many attempted to do. 1t was
about half past seven when the train got
started, and it was at least half an hour
later before it backed up in front Of the
Riverside office and the $50 passengers dis
embarked

A Very Enjoyable Occasion, at the mcLure
House, Last Night.
As soon as the train bearing the visitors
and those accom- panyiDg them to Benwood,
rad returned to the city, which was about
half past ten o'clock, the strangers were
taken to the Mcclure House, where they
were escorted to the parlors and entertain
ed until the guests invited to the banquet
to be rendered the guests had arrived.
This was announced for halfpast ten
o'clock, but it was a few minutes past
eleven o'clock when the signal was given
to enter the dining room.
The dining hall of the hotel had been
handsomely decorated and set with three
long tables, bearing plates for about
one hundred and fifty guests. Two
hundred and fifty invitations had been
Issued. and about enc hundred of the bust
ness men of the city responded in person,
those present being:

II. Frank, Philip VolliDger and others.
Mr.. J. M. Bellville had charge OF the
train and he took splendid care of his pas
sengers. They were met at the depot by
Mr.. Peter Boyd, Manager of the Tube
Works, who with Mr.. F. J. Hearne escorted
the party first TO ths tube works, starting
in where the akelp iron first enters the fur
mace and ending where 1t comes out and
is tied up ready for shipping.
The sight was certainly most interest
inc one and was watched with the greatest
interest by the visitors. The big mill was
on zach pipe and the terrific noise made
by the pipe as il comes from the furnace
and first strikes the welding rolls, shooting
out like an immense fiery snake, was the
greatest point of interest, and those who
had never seen ii before were rather a"ed
by the sight.
Then as they watched the various ma
chinery the pipe went through and the
rapidity with with which it was handled
thew were rather amazed. They had ex-
peeted 10 see a large establishment, but not
of the immense proportions they
witnessed. After a half hour's stay
in this department, Manager +. L.
Wiles, of the steel plant, took the
party in charge and conducted them to his
domain, where they were again treated to
G remarkable sight, the conversion OF the
steel, the pouring into the mOulds, the
rolling of the immense iugOts into slabs,
the remarkable machinery, all working so
smoothly and with such preeiaOn, the
busy men, aud everything forming an at
traction that WAS to all decidedly interest
ing.
Constant ordinations of wonder and
surprise were heard from the visitors,
many of whom had formed but miniature
idea of what they we're to zee, and
they were 10th 10 leave when they
did. Although the party was a very
large one the gentlemen in charge handled
them nicely and sll got a good view Of the
workings of the great plants.
After a visit to the Office had been made,
where some of the various shapes pieces OF
steel pipe had been pounded into, to show
it's strength, "Ail aboard" was
shouted and the train backed down cato
the ONO RivOr road agsio and ran slowly
up to the city, arriving here about a
quarter after ten, when all prepared to
partake of the closing entertainment of the
evening-the banquet at the Mcclure
House, all voting the trip most profitable
and interesting one.

until midnight the tempting menu Was
discussed ia all it's varying phases. When
ample Justice had been done the vlands,
President QusTrier raped for order, and
while cigars were igdted, Dir. Quarter
introduced Col. Bissell, who was received
with round of applause. Col. Bisseil
said:
COL. BIsSELL.
81 hardly know how to appear before
this audience this evening: whether as IN
Eastern man and guest, OF in my true
snd real capacity as Wheeling man and
en- entertainer Applause. Sometimes
in this dual capacity, find myself llttle
mixed, like two citizens OF Hartford.
Col. Bissell related very entertaining
incident OF these two gentlemen, who be-
came very much mixed up on one occasion.
He then proceeded:
81 feel as i'll wanted somebody 10 pick
me out and tell me whetherI AN a Hart
ford man or a Wheeling man. l think ]
am Hartford man with Wheeling pripci-
pie. Applause] Sometimes in this dual
capacity l feel that ought TO be labeled
as n woman in Pennington, nesr Hartford,
did her pickles and sweets sud things 10
her cellar, so that she conld DISTINGUISH
them. She had two jsrs, one labeled T.
M and the other also 81. NJ >" so as to
he absolutely certain what they were.
When asked about them, she ssid one
means otis Mince," and the
other "'Taint Mince." Laughter l
ought to be labeled CT. w" here
and ct. w" at Hartford. "'ris Wheel
ing" here and "Tsiu't Wheeling" there.
When | first came TO this town for the
purpose of inspecting aud seeing how this
bridge could be built here, l looked ebout
this city, but l can't cay that l was favor
ably impressed. You are closed IN among
the hills. | was told that this here town
was five miles from one end TO the other,
and aa far back as you could see.
"But sinre we have been engaged in this
bridge worR, l have changed my mind
and hsvs concluded that il is very good
place. We people in the East, way down
in Boston ard Marblehead Bay, werun out
TO Wheeling, and think it is d mighty good
place to run TO.
Il wish, ia conclusion, TO say that
think this bridge and terminals will mark
an era in the history OF the city Of Wheel
ing. Now, I believe that Wheeling has
been on the side track TOO long, and l be-
lieve that Wheeling is destined at no dis
tant day to be ore of the through points
on this continent. Applause. You
have every advantage, manufactures, arts,
science, and you have brains, and there is
no reason Why this city should not be ore
of the great gateways through from the
East 10 the West. This bridge should be
the connection with the Northwest, but
