MAKING SHEET TIN.
The Only Plant in America Started
at McKeesport This Week.
OTHER MILLS ARE CONTEMPLATED
Amalgamatsd Association Worrying Over
the Bar Mill Scale.
sToNECUTTERs NAY STRIKE AGAIN.

The only plant at which sheet tin is being
manufactured in North Or South America
was put in operation this week at the United
States Iron and Tin Plate Works at
Demmler station, Third ward, McKeesport.
The fact that this company has for the last
10 or 12 years been paying nearly $30.000.-
900 annually to foreign countries, and that
not sheet of tin was being made on this
continent, urged the firm, particularly Mr..
Cronemeyer. one of the members, to make
strenuous efforts toward securing protsc-
tive tariff sufficiently high to enable them
to compete with the cheap labor Of foreign
manufacturing cities; their labors have been
crowned with partial success, as the clause
In the Mckinley bill protecting tin plate
has passed the House and bids fair to pass
the Senate. If such action be taken many
mills for manufacturing the product will
likely spring into existence.
In anticipation of the measure becoming
law, the firm has placed the plant in ope-
ration, and it is understood that even If TIN
plate is not protected, they will endeayor TO
continue the manufacture. They have put IN

past couple Of weeks, personally experimenting

placed in successful operation. The process
heretofore used consisted of five operations.
two clippings in grease and three in
tin. BY the new process the same
results are obtained in one operation,
by inserting sheet in o solution of tir and
palm oil. The cost Of manufacture is wonder
fully cheapened, and the quality Of the pro-
duct is said to be excellent, either for sheet or
turn work.
The greater part of the tin imported to this
country comes from South Wales, where the
largest mills in the world are located. There
are mills in France, Italy, Germany and Rus
sia but they make scarcely more than is used
for home consumption..~T import last year
is estimated at 9 6000, 600 boxes, and it is worth
about IS box. The United States works
made tin when the tariff was on it, but was COM
pelled to quit some II years ago, when it was
removed.

THE LAST is FIRST.

Census Report of the Thirty. sixth Ward
Compiete-An Increase Of 80 Per Cent In
Ten Years-Just 5000 Residents of the
Ward.
The first ward to report its census figures
to Supervisor Oliver is the Thirty-si1th,
Temperanceville. There are but three pre-
cincts in the ward. The total population is
reported to be 3,6o6. The census Of 1880
gave Temperanceville 2,76S inhabitants.
The increase in ten years is very little
more than 80 per cent. The figures here are
something of disappointment, but that ward
has not grown ANYTHING like as rapidly as most
of the wards of Pittsburg. The enumerators
report that they found many vacant houses in
the Thirty-sixth ward
Seventeen enumerators finished their work
and turned in their books yesterday. Many of
them declare that, we're the work to be done
again, they would not accept the position Of
enumerator for less than $40 day. Those
who have finished are exceedingly glad, and are
now wondering when they will receive their
pay.
Young man named McKelvey, who lives at No.
81 Wylie avenue, had almost completed his
precinct last Saturday evening when nre
broke out in his house and his papers were all
burned. The work must be done over, but Nc
Kslyey is probably discouraged, as he has not
vet appeared at the Supervisors for new set
of blanks. He will think there is something In
unlucky numbers as his number on the list OF
enumerators was Is. He has the second pre-
cinct of the Fifth ward. which is the thirteenth
precinct in the city beginning with tne nrst
precinct of the First ward The precinct is
hard one to work, containing many Italians
and other unlearned people, and there Is no
extra pay for such contingency.

BE had A NEW HAT,
Why q Young Man for Awhile Was she

Why n Young Man for Awhile Was the
Observed of All Observers.
An instance Of the irony Of fate In the minor
matter of life was noted on Smithneld street
yesterday afternoon. The time was $50, and
the busy thoroughfare was at its busiest. A
young man. well dressed and good-looking, was
passing briskly along, opposite City Hall.
That he was satisfied with his appearance was
evident from the approving side-long glances
he ever and anon cast at his own reflection in
the big plate glass windows of the stores. In
his hand he carried hat wrapped in paper. On
his head was an obviously new hat, light
in hue and jaunty in shape. The
that suited the young man and he knew IL. A
bevy of giggling schoolgirls looked at the
young man and his hat and giggled louder, and
remarked, He has q newihat." A newsboy
said the same thing. He overheard q sedate
old lady remark to her companion, THAT
yonng man has just bought hat" Dozens Of
passers-by rung the changes on the speech to
the mystifcation Of the young man. When he
reached home he no doubt discovered the
reason. A white ticket about two inches
square, with the price, ''s2 So" was sticking in
the hatband at the back.

HER TITLE Is CLEAR.
Judge Ewing Decided Mrs. schenley Has q
S;-rnIa in Har prouprfy

Judge Ewing Decided Mrs. schenley Has a
Fee simple in Her Property.
According to a decision delivered by Judge
Ewing in 1850, which afterward was confirmed
by the Supreme Court, Mrs. Schenley has fee
simple title to her property in Pittsburg; that
is she owns it absolutely and can sell 1t at her
pleasure. Judge Ewing decided that the
neglect of the trustees to turn over the prop
erty during the lifetime of Mrs. Croghan, the
mother of Mrs. Schenley, did not in any way
prejudice Mrs Schenley's title. The Judge
also ordered Trustee OHara, who now raises
the point to sign deed turning over to Mrs.
Schenley any right he might have In the prop
erty as trustee.
Mr.. Thomas D. Carnahan, one of the attor.
neys, said yesterday that Mr.. O'Hara's claim
came in the nature of sour grapes.
The bill introduced in the House by Con.
gresham Oates of Alabama, forbldding aliens
to hold lands in the United States, is about the
same in principle as the one brought before
the PENNSYLVANIA Legislature BY Representa-
tive Robinson, of Allegheny. The latter bill
never became a law.
Mr.. Oates in his speech referred to the
Schenley estate in Pittsburg An effort was
made yesterday to get an expression from some
OF the people interested in the estate as to what
they thought of the bill, but they declined to
talk.
Mr.. Torrens, the agent, smiled pleasantly. and
said he hadn't anything to say. Mr.. Il. ID.
Carnahan, the attorney for the estate, has been
i'll for more than a month, and his son stated
that he was not concerned in the matter.

'The great wave of humanity that is rolling

travelled deftly through the barbigerous ap-

Mr.. W. ]. Schmidt. of Allegheny, spoke as
follows on the subject, while chasing a razor
through rich crop of stubbles: "This is the
busiest time Of the year for the barber trade,
and at present there Is considerable demand for
good men who can handle the tools, but they
are not all to be had, because our experts are

ARRESTED IN CINCINNATI.
A Former Pittsburg Railroader Said to be

B. 8. Barbour, . former P1ttsburg railroad
man, and lately agent of the Cincinnati South
ern and East Tennessee and Virginia railroads
at Hartman Junction, Tenn, was arrested in

embezzied 81, 800 from his employers.
Mr.. Barbour has q grown up son and daugh-

After leaving Pittsburg some years ago he
went to Cincinnati, where he secured good
position with the Cincinnati Southern line. He
was painstaking and conscientious in his work

Last April he was sent down to Hartman
