STEEL DIsPLACING WOOD.
Metal Ties Will Probably Drive All Others
Ont of tho Road.

Metal Ties VIII Probably Drive All Others
Ont of the Road.
The manufacture OF railroad ties will
bring additional grist to Pittsburg mills at
no very distant day. Statisticisns show
that the annual drain on the great timber
belts for tie timber is so greatly in excess of
the supply, and recuperative power Of the
forests, as to render some substitution for. the
tie now in use, necessary. Several patents
have been taken out for metal ties. A
local mill is making few steel ties
to the order of the Standard
Company of New York, and experiments
made with them in yards where the traffic
was heavy has resulted very much in favor
OF them.
Engineers do not agree as to the practical
billty or desirability OF metal ties. Some
argue against their cost, and urge they will
not wear as servicably as wooden ties.
Others hold. on the other hand, that, while
the first cost of the metal tie may exceed by
twice as much again the price of the wooden
article, the ultimate saving in durability
more than balances the cost. That they
will finally supersede the wooden tie is re-
garded as a foregone conclusion.

Directors To-Day.
Colonel j. P. Andrews and his secretary,
Leonard Wales, left for Chicago last even
ing to appear before the resident directors
of the Worlds Fair at special meeting to-
day. Colonel Adrews is right sin it, SO
to speak, having the assurance from some Of
the directors that his plans for the buildings
Tor the big show will receive favorable con-
sideration.
Sketches of the Colonel's plans have been
made by Boston architect, and the Pitts
burg engineer expects to knock out every
thing before him. The plans give more floor
space than the Paris Exposition. The plan
is a combination of water and land space,
and the'buildings are mostly OF iron and
glass. with about ten feet of brick, from the
ground UP. jackson Park would be done
away with entirely and about 100 acres of
water and $50 acres of lake front will be
used. The buildings and grounds. ready for
exhibits, it is estimated. according to the
plans will cost 1900, 900. At the water
end there is a working model of every differ
ent bridge in America.

CHEF BROWN RETURNS.
He is Not Prepared TO Immediately Grant

He ts Not Prepared 10 Immediately Grant
the Firemeu's Demand for Vacations.
Chief j. o. Brown, of the Department of
Public Safety, returned yesterday from a
brief vacation at Asbury Park. He looks
well and says he feels we'll. He is now pre-
pared to give the wheels of his department
another spin.
Mr.. Brown was considering the request of
the iremen for a vacation yesterday. The
Chief thinks it will be difficult to arrange
and is not especially enthusiastic on the
subject. Since he has controlled the De-
partment he has enlarged the privileges
granted the men. Formerly fireman never
obtained leave of absence for more than IL
hours, from A. M to 8 P. M, and many sus-
pensions resulted, as the men would just com.
mence to enjoy themselves when they ought
to be reporting for duty. Under the exist
ing regulations the men receive an equiva-
lent Of 80 days leave of absence a year, and
he thinks that ought to be sufficient.

Confinement in the Penitenfiary Drives John
Thompson Crazy.
John Thompson, alias Jacob Wilds, was
transferred from the Western Penitentiary
to Dixmont insane asylum yesterday after
noon. Thompson was committed to the
penitentiary from Armstrong county about
three years ago for burglary, and his term of
sentence would have expired in few weeks.
Thompson has served several previous
terms for the same offense, and this led the
authorities of Armstrong county to think
him insane. Judge Reyburn appointed q
commission of three prominent residents of
Armstrong county, and the commission de-
clared him insane and decided that it
would not be safe for him to be released
when his term expired.

The coopering establishment connected
with the Standard Refinery No. 1 was
started up yesterday making new barrels.
For the last six months force of men have
been at work renovating old barrels. The
company has purchased all the old barrels
it could find over the country, and these
will now be used for the second time. The
secondhand barrels are reshipped across the
ocean to the Eastern works, where they are
again refilled with refined oil.
The company is now making new bar
rels at the rate of 400 day, but the daily
shipments of oil average about 500 barrels.
Very little more stock than the daily re-
ouirement is turned out. The Globe Refinery
is standing still, but is ready to be lighted
when the demand Tor oil exceeds what No. 1
can turn out.

NO BOOKS JUST YET.
Reading Matter for Carnegie Library
Delayed by the Bids.
WILL COST ABOUT 81 PER VOLUME.
The Dewey Decimal System Of Classifca-
tion to be Adopted.
ONLY PRICES, NOT TOTALS, WERE GIVEN

The hope that books would be placed in
the Allegheny Carnegie Library during the
next 10 days has again been blighted. 1t
was expected that the contract would be
awarded yesterday, but circumstances made
that impossible.
The Joint committee of Councils met last
night in the committee room at Carnegie
Library to open the bids for the 5000 vol
umes which it is proposed to buy. There
were only three bids presented, one from
Scribners', of New York; one from ]. R.
Weldin & Co., of Pittsburg, and the third
from the j. B. Lippincott Company, Of
Philadelphia. None of the bids specified
the amount which the 5000 volumes would
cost. They only quoted prices on each OF
the works. The bid from Scribners' gave
out the impression that the cost would be
about 81 per volume.
As it would be impossible to reach any
clear conclusion without going clear
over the lists, it was decided to
refer the matter of examining the
bids to a subcommittee, of which
Clerk Robert Dilworth and Librarian
Stevenson were appointed members. This
subcommittee will meet tomorrow even
ing to make up the whole of the bids, and
will then report to special meeting of the
Library Committee, which will be called
by the Chairman
MAY NOT TAKE so LONG.
As most of the books are standard works,
which the publishers keep in stock, it is ex-
pected that many of the 5000 volumes will
occupy places on the shelves in the library
within few days after the contract is let.
In the meantime, Librarian Stevenson
is preparing himself to receive the
new books. Yesterday he returned from a
ten days trip to Wilkesbarre. He was not
away enjoyinga vacation or a summer out
ing. 1t was all hard work with him. He
was examining the great Osterhout Free
Library and the methods by which the
librarian, Miss II. P. James, is enabled to
pick out any one of the 100, 900 volumes
which line its shelves. He took a turn at
cataloguing, shelving, receiving and cover
ing books. Beside this, he mastered the
Dewey decimal system of classification,
which, he says, he will adopt in the Car
negie Free Library. The system was in
vented by Melvin Dewey, the New York
State Librarian at Albany, and is considered
the most simple system in the world.
By this system the library is divided into
sections corresponding to the digits. Each
division is represented by digit, such as:
"S, history" ''2, Religions" "3, sociology"
and so on. Divisions and subdivisions
NAV again be made, as often as it is neces-
sary.
