THE STRIKE CONTINUES.
The Oliver Mill Difficulty at Pittsburg
still On

PITTsBURG. March 9l.-The strike At
Oliver Bros. & Phillips Tenth Street
Mil is still in progress. The strikers
are very quiet and the situation is en-
tirely unchanged.
But very few of the men can be seen
about Probably twenty of them in all
were standing around Twelfth and Car
son streets during the morning. discuss
ing the situation. Some of the men
contend that the discharge of Engel is
not the only reason for the strike. but
that the foreman in the bolt factory was
.discharging men as rapidly as he could
and replaced them with boys. 1t is
thought that a conference Of the strikers
and members of the firm will be held to-
morrow and that an amicablc settlement
will be reached. An impression has
gnined ground that in all probability the
men will return TO work on Monday.
On the other hand, however, there is
some uneaSinesS among the men en-
ploycd in the other mills belonging to
the Oliver plant Despite the state
ment made yesterday by Mr.. David B.
Oliver that the firm would not close
down the other mills, the men working
there say that unless the difficulty is
settled this week they expect To be
locked ont on Monday. If the Allie
gheny and Fifteenth street mills are
shut down it will throw 5000 men out
of employment, including the 1000
men now out at the Tenth street mill.

Oracle says in its oil article to-day: Two
new wells have come in since our last.
and one Of them is the largest well ever
struck in West Virginia. This is the
Mccullough No. .. which drilled into
the sand on Tuesday and commenced
gushing, oyernowpg the tanks and let
ting a large amount Of oil go to waste.
The pipe line had made connection with
the tank, but could not take away the
oil as fast as it flowed. On Thursday
two new tanks had been got up and all
the oil is being saved. and il is possible
to measure the ousOut. The well is now
making one thousand barrels per day
and is flowing steadily. The Rus

the week. and is a big well. 1t is max
ing from four to five hundred barrels
per day, and would be considered a big
thing were it not for its monstrouS bro

WASHINGTON, d. c., March eli
West Virginia's Congressman were be-
fore the River and Harbor Committee
to-day in behalf of adequate appropria-
tions for State rivers. Anderson cX-
planned that his district comprised most
Of the West Virginia rivers requiring
Government aid to supply the needs Of
navigation and commerce, He submit
ted a table of figures showing the
amounts appropriated. and now needed
for the rivers of his district. For the
Great Kanawha $3.50. 600 were apprOpri-
ated last year, and there is a balance
OF SlS7.O00 to complete the work.
The sum of 500, 900 will
be required, and the engineer bureau
recommends an appropriation Of $500
600 for next year; for Elk river - 500 is
Sandy Sl3l, 900. for Guyandotte 5000.
for Little Kanawha $4,000. and for
Buckhannon $4,000. Anderson also In
cluded New rivor. for which the eSti-
mate is Slj9.OOO. Anderson. with maps
before him. explained the situation and
connections of the rivers i'm his district.
and that the geographical location
of the country placed upon
his district the chief burden
of maintaining their improvements. Al
derSon urged that the entire estimates
Of engineers be appropriated for the
West Virginia rivers.
Representative Wilson made an argu-
mcnt for the MonOngahcla river be-
tween Morgantown and Fairmont. The
estimate Is So. 1000, but the members OF
committee are decidedly in favor OF de-
ferring further government appropria-
tions until the purchase Of the
MonOngahcla River Navigation Com
pany shall have been cOnSummatcd.
As the final possession Of the
lower Mononghcla improvement is in
Court. and as the Government made one
appropriation Of SlG3.OOO 10 purchase
dam No. : the Democrats and Republic
cans OF the committee deem il good
policy to await the final requirement Of

tion will be incorporated in the river and

The New Road to he Built to Ironton

OiAios
PHILADELPHIA. March 9l.-The Nor
folk and Western Railroad directors
have approved the contracts for the
grading, masonry and cross ties for the
extension To lronton. Ohio The con-
tractor are required TO begin work all
along the line. 1870 miles i'm length, and
they agree TO have the road ready for
the ballast and rails in one years time.
The Ohio river will hc crossed at Iron
ton by steel bridge, which is also nm
der contract at the Pcncoyd Iron
Works.
The company'S engineers estimate
that. allowing for contractors delays. it
will be possible to run trains over the
road i'm the spring Of 1892. The money
10 build the road was provided by the
recent sale Of S5.00O.OOO five per cent
bonds, and the equipment is to be pro-
vided out of the proceeds Of the sale of
10000 shares Of preferred stock. The
company has the proceeds Of the bond
sale already in hand and will push the
construction work,
1t is expected that the new road will
carry large amount OF coke to the iron
furnaces OF Ohio that now have to de-
pend upon the ConncllSyillc region for
supplies. At Ironton connection will be
made with the Cincinnati. Hamilton and
Dayton. the Sclota Valley and other
roads.
