ANOTHER NEW INDUSTRY.

The Possibilities of Nickel-Steel Firmly Es-
Turned at the Allegheny Bessemer Plant
How it Was Done.:
1t is about certain that new industry
will be introduced in Pittsburg. Nickel
steel has for long time been considered
among the possibilities, but until last Friday
has not been proven success.
Nicholas Rattigan. q wellknown employe
of the Bessemer Steel Works at Homestead,
has had the honor Of demonstrating the
prxcticability Of "a new process, by which an
exceedingly fine grade of the product can be
turned.
On the day mentioned Mr.. Rattigan
saperintenden test In the converting de-
partment The old Bessemer process was
followed until the point where the molten
steel is poured into the ladle, when $50
pounds of the nickel was added. 1t was
cast into an ingot 15x18, which weighed
about two tons. 49,
The iugot was afterward taken to the
slabbing mill, and from there to the soaking
pit Then it was reduced to q long slab,
5x28, and cut into three pieces.
The next treatment was in the
119-iuch plate mill, where the
armor plate for the Government is to be
made. aud where it was charged along with
a number of high carbon Bessemer ingots
and then placed in the furnace. When
withdrawn they were rolled into plates q
of an inch thick and 56 inches wide.
These plates we're put under very severe
tests Yesterday, and proved to possess i'm
meuse tensile strength, while the manner in
which the material polished was something
astonishing. 1t was without exception the
most remarkable test that has ever yet been
made. and it will not be surprising if the
firm should decide to make speciality of
nickel alloy STEEL. .:a.

PRELATES ARRIVE.

Distinguished Catholic Dignitaries Come
to Pittsburg-Ahable Cardinal Gibbons
First Visit to the City-Archbishop
Ryan With the Party-A Warm Rccep-
ton.
The distinguished clerical party expected
here for the reopening of the Cathedral to-
day arrived on the limited last evening.
They were Cardinal Gibbons, of Balti-
more, and his secretary, Father Whelan;
Archbishop Ryan, of Philadelphia; Bishop
McGovern, of Harrisburg, and Father
Murphy, S. j. They were met at the depot
by Bishop Phelan and Father Wall, and
escorted in carriages to the Episcopal resi-
dence. Both the Cardinal and the Arch
bishop we're tired after their days ride, but
were very pleasant to the reporters. Quite
large crowd soon gathered around them, and
followed them out of the depot.
Cardinal Gibbons has often passed through
Pittsburg, but never stopped here before.
He is a slender man of average height, with
strong benevolent face. Indeed, the
the spiritual element is plainly marked In
his features. He is kindly man in dispo-
sition, and impresses even the casual OBJ
server as one who busies himself with the
higher affairs Of lie.
The Cardinal will preach in the Cathedral
this morning, and in the evening Arch
bishop Ryan will deliver lecture
From z to 9 o'clock on Monday evening
the Archbishop will hold public reception
at the Episcopal residence. The sashes OF
one OF the windows will be removed, and an
alcoye will be formed of drapings of cardinal
red. Within this alcove the Cardinal will
be seated, and will hold his reception.

A BLESSING IN DISGUISE.

The Prisoner of That Name Who Escaped
From the Southside Heard From.
1t will be remembered that some two
weeks ago Inspector McKelvey and Detec-
tive Carragan arrested a man named Bless
ing and his wife, Rose, on information from
Trenton, n. j., that they were wanted there
for larceny. The woman in particular was
considered as an accomplished thief, several
charges of pocketpicketing having been
made against her. The prisoners were taken
to the Twenty-eighth ward station house, but
the woman, being sick, was placed in the
hospital department Shortly afterward
she made her escape and nothing was heard
of her until yesterday, when her where
abouts were ascertained
Blessing was turned over to an officer
from Trenton two or three days after his ar
rest and taken TO that city, where he was
imprisoned once more. In common with
most people he was laboring under the i'm
preston that his wife had committed sui
eide in some manner out of the ordinary,
and that her body had not vet been discov-
cred. This theory proved groundless, how
ever, as Inspector McKelvey received in
formation from Trenton last night that she
had written Blessing a letter, stating she
had sailed for Germany never to return
The letter was mailed on the day of her de-
psrture, and the Inspector thinks the Tren-
ton authorities will not attempt to bring her
back

WANT. CHEAPER COKE.
How Southern Pig Iron Men Injure the
Furnace Trade Here.

How Southern Pig Iron Men Ipjure the
Furnace Trade Here.
j. j. Spearman, the Sharon furnace man,
was at the Union depot last evening, going
to Steubenville. Mr.. Spearman says the
pig Iron business has not improved, aud
while iron sold Tor SIS per ton last
year it now brings S14 25. The furnacemen
had made their coke contracts up to Janu-
sry 1 at present prices. and Mr.. Spearman
says so far as he knows they have not asked
for a reduction, but he claims the price of
coke must come down or the furnaces will
have to stop operations. He thinks from
81 30 to 81 80 per ton would be reasonable
for this fuel. Freight rates tn the Mahon-
ing and Shenango valleys still remain the
same.
Mr.. Spearman states that the Southern
pig iron men are knocking out
their business. This iron is shipped
to Youngstown cheaper than the local
manufacturers can produce it. The South
ern people make pig iron for foundry pur-
poses, but they frequently miss it, and it
comes out ordinary mill iron. They sell it
in the North for what they can get for it,
and this is how the South Injuries Northern
trade. Several furnaces in the valleys have
gone out of blast, and Mr.. Spearman ex.
poets to see others follow.

THE COFFEE POISONED.

Charles Jones, of ShaIer Township, Held for
Court on a Charge of Attempting to Take
His wife's Life-She Tells a Frightful
Story.
Charles Jones was held for court yester-
day by Alderman Kerr under $500 bail.
The charge against him is attempting to
poison his wife, Amelia. Jones is an en-
ploye at Graf, Bennett & Co.. old mill.
and lives with his wife in Shaler township.
His wife is the prosecutrix.
Charles Jones is Mrs. Jones' second hus-
band, and she claims this is the second time
he has tried to poison her. The story she
told was that her husband had tried TO kill
her and her 5-year-old child on Monday
night by putting matches in her coffee.
"On Monday evening"" Mrs. Jones testi-
fed, Il made coffee as usual for myself and
child and made tea for my husband, as he
never DRINKS coffee. At this time the coffee
was all right, but when went to take cup
of coffee before going to bed, I
noticed a peculiar scum over the
top Of it. 1t also had peculiar
odor of phosphorus. 1 at once suspected
that it was an attempt on my life and when
I examined it found number of match
heads. therefore made this information to
get him out of the way"
Upon this testimony Alderman Kerr held
Jones for court. He has been before Alder
man Kerr on two previous occasions-once
for assault and battery, and once for surety
of the peace. His wife made the charges in
both cases.
Mrs. Jones brought the coffee to Alder
man Kerr, and that official will have it an
alyzed. Mrs. Jones also says her husband
is lazy, and that she has to run grocery
store in order to keep the family.

AN ENGINEERS OPINION.
Colonel Merrill Says the Erie Canal Depends
ON the Summit Water Supply.

Colonel Merrill Says the Erie Canal Depends
on the Summit Water Supply.
Colonel C. E. Merrill, the river engineer
for this district, returned 70 Cincinnati last
evening. In a chat about the proposed
canal to Erie, the Colonel said:
Everything depends on the quantity
of water on the. divide between
Pittsburg and the lakes. So much water
runs to Lake Erie, and on this side OF the
summit it runs into the Ohio. It would be
an easy matter to build canal, and its size
would depend on the amount of water; but
the question is, how much water is there on
the divide? You can't get the, water
that runs from the sides into the Ohio and
Lake Erie, but on the summit the supply
must come from the sides on the top. If
the water is there, then the canal could be
built. 1 am, talking now without knowing
any of the facts, and !, am not prepared TO
say whether it is feasible or not.
1.-THE Davis Island dam has feature
which few dams possess, and that is that
when there is enough water the dam can be
let down, and the boats can go over without
going through the lock. Most dams would
not permit this. :" .-,.....

AT the regular meeting of the Board of
Directors of the Allen School, Thirty-frst
ward. last evening, an advisory committee
was appointed and given the power to select
an attorney and architect to prepare prellm-

report the work that they will have done at
a special meeting which will probably be
called for next Saturday evening. It is
thought that the new school building will
be erected on some lots on Allen avenue. 1t
is understood that most of the directors
favor a building to cost about S40. .00e.,
The schools in the Thirty-fEt ward. are
very much crowded at present. There are

THE CASE DISPOSED OF.
State Councillor Collins, of the Jr. o. q. A M,
Vindicated by His Order.

State Councillor Collins, of the Jr. o. q. A. M,
INDICATED by His Order.
State Councillor Stephen Collins, of the
Jr. o. U. A. NJ, has been vindicated by the
State board of officers. A short time ago
Mr.. Collins asked the board to
investigate charges made against him.
The board is composed of J. P.
Winower, Jr. Past State Councillor,
Hiram j. Slifer, State Vice Councillor, and
Mr.. Collins, the State Councillor. He went
before the board and made statement, SUBJ
mitting at the same time documentary evil
dence concerning recent correspondence
with o. S. Marshall, member of the order
in Kittanning. The board was satisfied with
the statement and voted to vindicate Mr..
Collins. Each council in the State was no.
titled of the action of the board, and by
more than so councils heard from it is
stated the action has been approved.
The members at Kittdnning, however, are
not yet satisfied. and it is said Mr.. Marshall
will make an effort to have a special session
OF the State Council called to consider the
matter again. This, many members of the
order think, will not be done, as % councils
must sign the call before the meeting can be
convened, and it requires the representa-
tIves Of so councils to be present to consti-
tute quorum.
