MANGLED AND CRUSHED.
MANY UNF ORTUNATEs WHO WERE IN
JURED YESTERDAY.

c. L. Magee in a PeIrilous Cable Car Wreck
Body of Dead Man Found in a Tunnel
workingman Cut by q Belt-Other Ac-
cidents.
A wreck occurred shortly before o'clock
last evening on the Fifth avenue cable
line at Miltenberger street. Car No. 27
stopped to let Of passengers. Car No. 80
behind followed too close to be stopped in
time, and dashed into car No. GA attached to
No. q. The rear platform of No. g.
was smashed, and the front end
of No. so was shattered. A number of pas
sengers were in both cars, and, though they
were considerably shaken by the collision,
no one was injured. c. L. Magee and Re-
corder-elect Won Bonnhorst were IN car No.
so and concluded to walk home the balance
of the way. John Gnagly. the gripman in
charge of the rear train, was discharged by
Dispatcher Mcdowell.

plexion, long black hair, mustache and
beard. He wore a black hat, brown and
black coat and striped pants. The body
was taken to the city morgue to await iden-
tifcation.
A peculiar accident happened to Adam
Handel on Hope street, Allegheny, yester-
day. He placed a redhot bolt in socket.
An explosion followed, blowing the bolt out
of his hand and causing sheet of flame to
spring up out of the socket, burning him
about the face and arm.
William Mccormick, an employe of the
Kal1 rEs
gheny, was sharpening knife at grind
stone when belt caught his arm, and the
sharp edge OF tn, leather cut through to the

cubic feet, As for the process
of saving gas it is simply new application
of an old principle-that of mixing air,
which has been raised to a high tempera-
ture, with the gas. Tests have been made
at one of the iron mills. The tests have
proved satisfactory. From the result of
these tests the following conclusions have
been thoroughly established:
THE RESULTS OF TESTS MADE.
."The amount of gas necessary to puddle a
ton of iron viii vary inversely with its
caloriic value, provided the combustion is
equally perfect and the apparatus in which
the pudding is done is in each case equally
well designed. 1t also appears that when
coal and natural gas are burned in the same
apparatus, without any more attempt at
economy In one case than the other, to per-
form the same work about 25 900 cubic feet
Of natural gas will be consumed or the
equivalent of a ton (2,0O0 pounds)
of Pittsburg coal. In the ordi-
nary pudding furnace it takes about
ton and one-third, or 2, 200 pounds of coal
for each ton of iron ore puddled. This
amount of Pittsburg coal contains sc, 000, 900
heat units, and it was found that the
ordinary furnace, burning the natural gas
in the ordinary manner, consumed about
$4,000 to $4,000 cubic feet of gas per ton of
iron ore puddled. The average calorifc
value of natural gas is about 1,100,0 900 heat
units per 1000 cubic feet, anu, therefore it
takes 80, 800, 900 heat units to puddle ton
of iron with natural gas in the ordinary
pudding furnace, designed to burn coal il
The ordinary manner.
"After remodeling the furnace on the
Siemon's Iegenerative plans, with certain
alternatives for convenience in getting at the
checker-work, and with only single regen-
GRAFTON, i. E., regenerating the air only, a
test was made to determine the amount of
natural gas required to puddle ton of iron.
This test developed the fact that it took
about Is, $50 cubic feet of natural gas to
puddle a ton of iron in the remodeled fur
mace, or, calculated into heat units, Ii, 575,-
900 heat units. The above amount of gas is
the average on a weeks run of the furnace.
EXPERIMENTS WITH FUEL GAS.
"After the above test was made, gas made
at the plant of the Fuel, Gas and Manu-
featuring Company, Limited, was used, with
the following results, in these pudding
furnaces The first tests were made with
gas containing 297, ,375 heat units per !, 600
cubic feet, and the average amount of gas
necessary to puddle a ton of iron was found
to be 1880 cubic feet, or 14,065,S heat
units,
"a gas of 26O, 400 heat units per 1000
cubic feet was made and delivered to the
furnace. The amount necessary to puddle
ton of iron was 81, 100 cubic feet, or
Il, 412, 24O heat units.
From the above tests it will be seen it
requires about Sc, 600, 900 heat units to be
fired in the ordinary pudding furnace to
puddle ton OF iron, and about IA, 000OO
heat units will do the same work with
properly designed regenerative furnace"

REMEMBERED AT CHRISTMAS.

Remittances of Money From America to
Relatives in the Old Country,
"Every year about this time do a big re-
mittance business across the sea-" said Cap
tain j. J. Mccormick yesterday. SIT
will commence next Saturday and con-
tinue about four weeks. The Irish,
English and Welsh send their
money for Christmas, and the
Scotch for New Years But it is amazing
how much money is forwarded by poor peo-
pie at Christmas time. 1 have on an aver
age for four weeks before the 25th OF Decem-
Der from 200 to 300 drafts day, ranging in
amounts from 81 to e10, and frequently
less. have sent as low sum as 10 shill-
ings, but tell you that that pittance was
dear, indeed, to the giver.
"The money goes to relatives, parents,
children, friends and occasionally to some
who have been reduced in circumstances,
but at some time in life had helped the
donor, and he is not the man to see friend
of his suffer. 1t is often surprising to me
how some of the people can afford to send
anything. They are poor, and only by
pinching themselves have they been able to
save it. AT this time there are any number of
families practicing self-denial, so that they
will be able to remember the dear ones
across the sea. 1t is beautiful custom
and reveals hidden traits of character that
makes one love his race better and be glad
he is living"

TRANSFERRED AT LAST.
ALLEGHENY BEssEMER STEEL WORKS
DEAL COMPLETED.

The Works Were Shut Down Yesterday and
the Old Hands Paid Of-Plant VIII Not
Be Idle Long-Employment for More
Men.
1t was stated at Braddock yesterday on
good authority that the transfer of the Allie
gheny Bessemer Steel Works at Duquesne
had been virtually consummated with the
firm of Carnegie Bros. & Co., of the Edgar
Thomson Steel Works. The deal has been
hanging for the past few months. and many
contradictory reports have been circulated
during the past week in regard to it.
The Allegheny Bessemer Steel Works
were shut down yesterday morning at
o'clock in all departments of steel making.
The superintendents of the numerous de-
partments Friday evening posted notices to
the effect that their employees need not go to
work yesterday morning, and that if they
would go to the general Office of the works
they would receive the wages due them.
This was a signifcation that the men
could not understand, as it was not the
regular seni-weekly payday. The only
mills were the mechanics and several watch
men. The workmen, however, believe that
the works will not remain inactive longer
than a few days, or week at the farthest,
as the appearance of the mill indicates that
fact.
Otherwise tn, action of the company in
closing down the mill is construed by the
officials at those works and at the Carnegie
works as a sure indication that the mill was
to change ownership, and that the order of
suspension was incidental to the transfer.
1t is not considered that the employees of
the Allegheny Bessemer Works will be
thrown idle long, although some six weeks
ago enough orders for steel rails were not at
hand to keep the mill running, and the
works were put to turning out steel billets
for five weeks.
A small order for steel rails was received
about ten DAYS ago and was quickly filled,
when the mill again went to work on billets,
and it was the intention of the management
to produce that sort of material until the
holidays.
1t is the intention of the firm of Carnegie
Bros. & Co. to make many extensions and
additions to the Duquesne mill during the
holidays. 1t will be completely recon-
structed and turned into mills for the manu-
facture of angles, bars and plates to be used
in constructing roofngs, in manufacturing
industries, bridges, etc., by the keystone
| Bridge Company, which is another addition
of the Carnegie interests.
Several hundred workmen additional will
| find employment at the Duquesne works If
the scheme as proposed is carried into ex-
ecution. 1t is understood that when the
| Carnegie firm takes control of the ALLIE
| gheny Bessemer Works the management
under the old firm will be retained, and not
changed around as it has been reported
would be the case.

CLAIMING HIS WIFE.
Census Agent Angel Refuses to be
COmforted When He Views
THE COLD FORM OF HIS LOVED ONE.
Severe Arraignment of the Pennsylvania
Railroad for the
TERRIBLE DISASTER AT NEW FLORENCE

8. 81. Angel, the husband of Mrs. Angel,
who was killed in the wreck on Friday, ar
rived here yesterday morning. He is
special agent for the census, having IN
charge the recorded indebtedness, and Penn
sylyanla and Virginia come under his direct
supervision. He called on Assistant Post
master Edwards, whom he knows, and to-
gether they went to Samson's undertaking
establishment to look at the body. Mr..
Angel was deeply affected, and at first re-
fused to believe that he saw the mangled re-
mains of his wife before him.
The unfortunate lady was on her way
home to California to see her relatives and
has been married only a short time.
Kind friends did all they could to COM
fort Mr.. Angel, but he refused to be con-
soled. He was very anxious about the
jewelry of his wife. which he prizes highly,
and, after some time spent in search, the
lady's reticule was found.
WILL BURY HER IN CALIFORNIA.
Mr.. Angel lives in California. He re-
turned to Washington last evening and will
arrive here on Monday to take his wife's
remains to the Pacific slope for burial.
j. w. r. Binns, manager of the Royal
Concert Company, who was one of the pas
sengers on the wrecked Pennsylvania train,
was feeling very sore yesterday. His
nervous system has been badly shocked and,
as he has been in several wrecks
in the last four weeks, he is almost afraid to
board another train. He bitterly bIames
the management of the road for not caring
for the passengers after the wreck occurred.
He says they claim that ten bottles of
whisky were distributed, but he paid 80
cents for what he got, and then the con-
ductor kindly stopped the train coming in
until he bought it at station.
In speaking of the accident yesterday he
said: "In my opinion the wreck was due
to culpable carelessness. We left Phila-
delphia late, and the running was irregular
until we reached New Florence. The train
would go short distance and stop.
A PREMoNITIoN OF DISASTER.
81 had sort of premonition all night
that something was going to happen. I
must say that so far as I could see, the
collision was invited. 1 remember distinctly
looking at my watch at New Florence when
we stopped there, and saying to myself that
we were now surely in for it, and two
minutes afterward the smashup occurred.
1 can't commend too highly the action of
the crew. They worked nobly, as did all
the passengers. If it had been a cold morn
ing we should have all been frozen.
'By the way, Mr.. Minot, who was killed,
had given up his berth the night before to
suit the convenience of another passenger.

OBJECT TO THE TAX.
CORPORATION OFFICIALS ORDERED TO
HARRISBURG.

The PENNSYLVANIA Railroad Officials Receive
Subpoena, but the Others Are Still
in Anticipation of the Pleasure-Cause
of the Coming Litigation.
A telegram was received by THE DIS
PATCH from Harrisburg last evening say
ing that subpenas had been sent to Pitts
burg to be served upon the officials of the
Pennsylvania Company, the Philadelphia
Company and the Central District and Tele-
graph Printing Company, summoning them
to Harrisburg on November 20. The
subpoena also orders that the books of the
companies named be taken there for the ex-
animation of the Stale officials.
Calls were made on the oficials of these
companies last night. to learn the cause of
the subenas. Mr.. 8. B. Liggett, Secretary
of the Pennsylvania Company, was found
at his residence, on Allegheny avenue,
Allegheny. He had not read the
subpoena, and was not fully ac-
quainted with what it was about.
He said that the case probably grows
out of the State tax paid by the company.
The officials of the Pennsylvania Company
think that their earnings should be taxed
on the proportion of milage of lines within
the State and not under the present system,
which taxes on gross receipts and also on
capital stock. Mr.. J. E. Davidson, Presi-
dent of the company, had been served with
the subpoena, but wa, too busy to even read
it, and had merely "pigeon-holed" it until
Monday, when it viii be referred to the chief
counsel.
Mr.. John Caldwell, Treasurer of the Pila-
delphia Company, said he had not heard of
any such suit or subpoena, and that his COM
pany had not been served with one or he
would know it.
81 am very sorry I can't give you any
news" said Mr.. Caldwell, "but az the sub
pena did not come, can't help it. I don't
know how such a suit would be brought.
The Philadelphia Company is now paying
from S35, 900 to $40, 900 annual tax on the
earnings, and we think it is exorbitant.
However, we have paid all our tax except
this years, and that will be paid as soon as
demanded"
Mr.. John G. StoaEes, of the Central Dis
trict and Telegraph Printing Company, said
he had not been served with the subpoena,
and knew nothing about it or why one
should be served.
1t is estimated that if the companies
mentioned are compelled to take their
vouchers, ledger books and coupons to Har-
risburg, it will require a good sized freight
train to carry them.

A Product of the Howling Wilderness
Battles With Six Men.
Imprisoned in a powerful cage in the
heart of The city is ferocious native of the
Wild jungles. Nothing in the cold, proud
look which he turns on his master and sole
proprietor, Mr.. Harry Davis, would betray
the anguish of his wounded feelings. Peo-
pie who are cursed with morbid curiosity
have wondered whether he had dark brown
taste in his mouth when he revolved his
hungry tongue through the astonished at
mosphere, but they judged falsely. The
party possessing the tongue was moved by
angry feelings.
Several days ago he was purchased in
New York by Nh. Davis from those who had
cruelty torn him away from the land where
monkeys flourish. This monkey is unus-
ually tall and perfect monster in strength.
He is called the lion slayer. When he was
lodged in the museum here it was found
necessary to control his savage spirit by
chaining him to the floor. Six men were on
hand to put the collar on the animals neck,
but he fought with them till one. Detective
Fitzgerald, was terribly scratched, and the
rest hurt more or less. At last, after des-
perate struggle, the combined strength of
the whole party succeeded in subduing the
wild beast and he was chained. An iron
cage is now being constructed for him.

GONE AFTER THE ELEPHANT,

Superintendent Mcknight Will Soon Have
an Addition to the Park Menagerie.
Levi DeWolf went to New York last
evening to look after the transportation to
Pittsburg of the Gusky elephant which will
be presented to the city for the Schenley
Park managerie. Last August the firm
contracted with New York man to 90 to
India and secure one for $4,000. He tele-
graphed yesterday that the animal had ar
rived in New York.
Mr.. DeWolf sent an affidavit that the ami
NAL was not to be used for show purposes,
to avoid paying a heavy duty which the
Mckinley bill provides. The animal is 5L
feet high and is we'll trained. He is said to
be very gentle, and his last owner on the
"coral strands" recommends him as docile
and very fond Of children.

Mills Throwing Out Great Clouds of Black
Smoke and Dirt.
On Friday the atmosphere in Pittsburg
was very murky, but toward evening great
clouds of black smoke, mixed with a dense
fog, which is nothing unusual, rolled over
the city, and hung like dark shadow above
the tops of the houses.
"Whew, what disagreeable day this is, !"
said pedestrian on Wood street.
"But 1 like to see those heavy black
Clouds" remarked another, with a smile
and merry twinkle. 'They mean business,
trade for the coal men, and that is what coal
will do for pretty Pittsburg."
swell, thought there was something
wrong with the city during the past week,
but this is what one must expect when the
companies withdraw gas from the mills.
Rather than be covered with the sooty fakes
and have the sunshine shut out, will be
glad to give up the gas in my CRATES to the

"Oh, Lordi Good day."
