ERIE FOR DELAMATER.

What it Cost w. L. Scott 20 be a Congress-
man Only 100000 Year-He is
Anxious to Become n United States
Senator, Like Brice.
S.v. Holiday, of Erie, United State.
Commissioner of Customs, was at the
Seventh Avenue Hotel yesterday. Mr..
Holiday was bound for Washington, and
left on the fast line last evening. His
private secretary is E. W. Lightner, the
Washington correspondent of The DIS
PATCH, of whom Mr.. holiday speaks very
highly. His business is to examine the
reports and accounts of all the Custom
House collectors in the country as well as
of the various marine hospital doctors.
Speaking on State politics Mr.. Holiday
said: Erie county is in Delamater's Con-
gressional district, and of course he will get
Erie's delegates, although Stone married an
Erie lady, and he has many relatives in the
county who will help him. Bill Scott's
aim now is to elect enough legislators in
doubtful districts to beoome United States
Senator. 1t doesn't pay him to be in active
politics. When he was iu Congress he lost
at least S1O0, 900 per wear by neglecting his
business. He spends most of his time in
New York making money, and he certainly
has a great head for fnauciering."
Mr.. Holiday said also that Clarksop had
no intention of resigning at present, and if
he had an Iowa man would probably sue
ceed him. 1t might be remarked that Post
master Mexican, while pleased with the
efforts of his friends to push him forward
for the place has no intention of trying for
it, and wouldn't have it for a gift. His
salary as Postmaster Of Pittsburg is more
than he would get as First Assistant Post
master General.
j. &. Hallock, the Erie patent lawyer.
was with Mr.. Holiday yesterday. He
spoke in a similar strain OF Delamater's s
chances in Erie. Mr.. Hallock is fine
looking gentleman, but very deaf He
carries speaking trumpet with long tube
attached. He gives one end to the speaker,
and then he listens very intently.

A GENERAL STRIKE EXPECTED.
Eight Thousand Coke Workers May be
Called Out This Week.

Eight Thousand Coke Workers May be
Called Out This Week.
According to labor leaders general
strike is forthcoming at the Frick Coke
Company's works if they reuse to adjust
grievances at the Valley Works. Yester-
day the Valley plant was closed down in
definitely because the company claimed
their men were not filling the wagons per
agreement. About 300 miners are affected.
Master Workman Ker oot says that if
the Frick Company refuses to adjust the ex-
listing grievances of the Valley miners and
resume work all the plants in the region
owned BY or operated by that company will
be called out at the expiration of the six
days notice. This will involve at
least 5000 miners and it appears
that neither side is willing to make conces-
sions. General Manager Lynch, of the
Frick Company, was seen, and when asked
about the Valley plant he said it had been
closed down indefinitely, and that was all
there was about it. When questioned as to
the fears of general strike, he said: "Will
Rainey's men striker"
A mass meeting of the valley miners was
held last evening and committee was sent
to Lynch, but no settlement was reached.
Labor leaders think it is an effort to break
the organization.

Ex-County Chairman William J. Bremen
returned yesterday from attending the meet.
ing of the Democratic State Executive Com.
mittee at Harrisburg on Wednesday, ano
from a 1ying trip to Philadelphia. where he
talked with few politicians. On the Gov
ernorship he said:
':It looks to me as if the nomination lies
entirely between Pattison and Wallace. ]
think Black the strongest man, but very
few people agree with me. In that 1 am
unfortunate. Black is not an active candi.
date now. That is, he would like to have
the nomination. but does not take those
active measures necessary to secure it.
suppose the parties he anticipated to be for
him are to be found working either for Wal
lace or Pattisou. He has no entangling
alliances. He bas gone through the fight
without anything to blush for. In Phila-
delphia Pattison is decidedly stronger than
Wallace. There was no doubt about the
other places They will depend on the loca-
ton of the candidate for Governor. Phila-
delphia will have one of the men on the
ticket.
THINKS MoNTooTH STRONGEST.
"The Democrats generally believe that
De;amater will be the Republican nominee
The problem we have to meet is either to op-
pose a very weak Republican candidate or
present strikingly strong one on the Dem
ocratic side. 1 will not say whom consider
the weakest Republican, but it is my judg-
ment that Majo Montooth is the strongest
man the Republicans could nominate. He
would certainly get large vote in Allie
gheny county, and it would be one instance,
at least. where Allegheny county would pay
a tribute to one of her citizens, because she
seems to be very narrow-minded in that kind
of thing.
1.-The Republican party never recognized
popularity or merit unless forced to it. 1t
has, in this State, done everything to ele-
vate mediocrity. The people are tired of it.
Look at be Americas Club banquet here
last week. 1t was the irony of hypocrisy
for their speakers to talk about an honest
ballot and a lair count while the incarnation
of political trickery was sitting at the same
table. They nearly shed tears over the col
ored man, when there wasn't one of them
invited to the feast except as walters
HE DOESN'T FAVOR CLUBS.
''The Democratic representatives whom I
met at Harrisburg and Philadelphia all
believe that the party is in good shape We
are keeping up the club organization, but
don't think there is much in that. Clubs
are often disturbing factors. as in the case Of
the Americus and Tariff clubs in this city.
1 think the Republicans are making a mis-
take in giving so much attention to the club
organization. They frequently disorganize
rather than organize, producing factional
more devotion than they do their party. 1t
is these internal fights that destroy party.
Bolingbroke it was. 1 think, who said,

tions, destroy each other

Mr.. Clark has secured patents on a refrip-
Grating machine for domestic use. which.
once in operation, will produce tcoldness''
at an exceedingly low figure. This machine
will interest the proprietors of saloons,
hotels, restaurants, etc., as well as the more
prosperous class Of private citizens. The
apparatus is shown in this cut, which repre-
sents the machine connected with a house
hold refrigerator.
The ice box or cabinet, A, contains coils
of hali-inch pipe. The machine is operated
by an electric motor, C, which runs the
pumps, B. These pumps draw the anhydrous
ammonia from the coils in the condenser.
E, where it is compressed into liquid. The
condenser consists of iron pipe coils i'm
mersed in water.
COST OF THE MACHINES.
From the condenser the liquid flows into
the receiver, f, and thence escapes as gas
into the coils in the cooling box. These
coils will be covered by heavy coating of
ice and will produce very low and regular
temperature. According to size the ma
chine will do the work of from 80 to 1000
pounds OF ice day, and will cost from $3.50
to $3.50. 1t needs no special attention, and
is set in motion simply by the movement OF
an electric switch.
Cooling machines will soon be in use in
almost every line of business, and, doubt
less, in affairs political and religious. A
good cooling apparatus would be invaluable
in many a political campaign, to keep the
fervor down to sane temperature, and of
incalculable value to prevent the political
pot from boiling over. A small machine
carefully concealed in the coat pocket
could be used with excellent effect upon
the party enthusiast, who on hot August
day, meets you at the postofice corner and
proceeds to argue at fever heat and electric
speed.
USEFUL IN CONGRESS.
When the Southern question is up in
Congress, number of these machines con-
cealed beneath the desks of the most ebul-
lient members. to be operated by button
touched by the Speaker. would have most
excellent effect. They might, indeed, be
Immediately introduced into the General
Assembly at Columbus, o., and into the
French Chamber of Deputies, in Paris.
-Four or five dozen might be employed with
great benefit at the coming session OF the
Presbyterian General Assembly at Saratoga.
Indeed, they will without doubt commend
themselves to Lord Salisbury and Mr.. Bal
tour, for use at home rule meetings through
out Ireland, where their plentiful and timely
use might enable the Government entirely
to dispense with Kilmainham Jail and its
like.

IN A DILEMMA.
The "Defense Committee" is in dilem-
ma for having Endorsed one OF two candi-
dates who were equally enthusiastic in e1-
pressing their sympathies for the restriction
of immigration and the objects of the Jr. o.
q. A. NJ. 1t is at a loss to know how to e1-
plain away its mistake in drawing the or
ganizatIon into partisan political issue.
An officer of the State Council said last
night:
"If the committee had followed the line
upon which it was organized it might have
been of great benefit in the coming contest
But they should have waited until all
parties had named their candidates and
then indorsed the best man. Our order does
not prevent man from doing as he pleaSes
in all political contests, so far as he-is per-
sonally concerned, but no member must drag
the name of the order into politics.

MANY IMPROVEMENTS MADE.


waves of August.
MANY IMPROVEMENTS MADE.
Mr.. Clark has his Office in Power Hall,
on Diamond street, where he devotes his
time to experiments and inventions in the
most advanced line of electrical and chemi-
cal accomplishments. He has recently Sc
cured a number Of patents on ice machines
and refrigerators, which show many improve
menrs over those already in the market
1t seems to be a pretty hard matter to
understand how cold is produced artificial
lv. 1t is accomplished by the sudden
change Of liquid into gaseous fluid. If
the fluid be resolved back into liquid, heat
is produced. II liquid, kept in that form
by compression, be permitted to escape into
an iron pipe or tank, where it can expand
into gas, the expansion abstracts the heat
from the iron pipe and makes it cold. In
the relrigerating vaults of brewery, where
lines of iron pipe are coiled about walls and
ceilings, the pipes are covered with white
frost, which chills the air in the room.
The liquid generally used in ice machines
is anhydrous ammonia. In some, anhy-
drous sulphurous oxide is employed. These
remain liquids only when compressed. The
instant they are liberated they expand into
*
over and over. The gas is forced by a
pump into a condenser, where it is COM
pressed into liquid and reduced to normal
temperature by the play of running water
over and around the condenser. 1t then
escapes in gaseous form, into the freezing
vat coils, and alter it has done its work
there, is pumped back into the condenser.
HOW ICE Is MADE.
In nearly ali ice-making machines the
ice is made in large sinks or vats. Each
cake OF ice is made in a can, which sets in
the vat. The latter is filled with brine and
the re migratory pipes run around and
through it. When the ice is formed. the
cans are lifted up by travelling pulleys.
The block of ice is frozen to the can and
must be immersed awhile in warm water
before it will slip out of its mold.
The plant, which is nearly flushed. in
the big slaughter house OF Rea & Co., on
Second avenue, near The Panhandle Rail-
road, according to the joint plans of Mr..

storehouse, seven stories high, is almost
ready for operation. The structure is of
brick with heavy oak flooring and timbers.
The hogs to be killed will be driven up q

NO BEER FOR THE Boobies.

Cold. BIooded and Heart Rending Action
of Pitt.burg Saloon Keepers.
The perquisites Of Chief Browns Finest
are slowly but surely fading away. A
cruel blow was struck at the vItals of our
brave preservers of the peace Yesterday
when a Penn avenue saloon keeper an
nounced that police officers would be treated
in his place just like common people. or
rather, not treated at all, but would have to
pay for all the fluid exhilaration they i'm
bibed at the bar or at the side door. In
fact. the saloon keeper preferred that they
would 60 somewhere else to drink.
This is said to be the first gun in an Or
ganized movement by the saloon keepers of
Pittsburg.

THE sTAYToN-wYMAN CONTEST.
No Present Intention TO Arrest the Allegheny
Mayor on a Perjury Charge.

L R. Stsyton and his attorney, William
J. Bremen, held a conference yesterday
afternoon, discussing the details of the Allie
gheny Mayoralty contest Afterward Mr..
Bremen said: 1--WE are now simply getting
our facts together and into shape. The
statement that we have decided to arrest
Mayor Wyman on a charge of perjury is
entirely unauthorized. We have not de-
cided to do anything of the kind. Such a
procedure may grow out of the case at some
stage, but it is not contemplated now. A
contest of this sort is not necessarily long.
We expect to 60 on very rapidly. / don't
think it will take more than three months,
as far as the courts of this county are con-
cerned. Whether the other side can find
anything for an appeal is more than l can
say. Ii the case goes to the Supreme Court
it will be advanced.
81 expect we will get started next week,
but that will be rather matter of agree
ment suppose would have a right to
indicate my own course but never quarrel
about forms, so that we get the substance.
1t will all depend on what the other side
saws"

STANDARD DIRECTORS MEET.
Some Talk OF Increasing Their Pipe Lin
In Allegheny County.

In Allegheny County.
John d. Archibald and Mr.. Rogers, Of
New York, two directors of the Standard
Oil Company, were here yesterday. They
held a meeting at Captain Vandergrift's
Office. None of the gentlemen would say
what was done, but outside oil men who are
well posted claimed that the gathering was
for the purpose of increasing the Standards
pipe line facilities in Allegheny county.
The production is increasing daily, and
something will soon have to be done to han
die it properly.
There Is some talk thata rival pipe line
is to be built this summer. There is money
in the business in this county, and even If
the monopoly should staye it off or buy out
the concern when built it will require some
dust to do it.

demanded an increase in wages. The con-
ductors ask for 50 30; they now receive 81
per day. The brakemen want 50. They
are now paid 81 go.
The men demand an answer by tomorrow,
and if the advance is not granted a strike
will be ordered. 1t Is expected that this
move will be an incentive for the men en-
ployed in all mill yards to ask for an ad-
vance
