CAN SAVE MILLIONS.
A Novel Plan Adopted by Ellwood
Manufacturers to Furnish Power.
UTILIZING COMPRESSED AIR
Trouble Expected at Duquesne When Nom
Union Men Appear.
MISCELLANEOUS INDUSTRIAL ITEMS

The water system of the little town OF
Ellwood, on the Pittsburg and Western
Railroad, has just been completed. The
capitalists of the place have conceived the
novel idea of using the water power OF the
Connoquenessing in the compression OF air,
sufficient to operate all the mills In and
around Ellwood. This is intended to super
cede the use of steam or gas. The scheme
will be a costly one, but representative OF
the Hartman Company said yesterday 1t
was entirely feasible and would be carried
through. 1t will save a larger sum annually
than it will cost to put itin.
The same gentleman is authority for the
statement that stock company has already
been formed, including all the chief real
estate and mill owners, for the purpose of
erecting the necessary hydraulic machinery.
Below Ellwood bridge the river tumbles
over the rocks, forming cascade followed
by rapids. The force of the water as it de-
scends over the precipice is very great, and
this point has been selected for operating
upon.
Dams will be built and the accumulated
strength of water piped to tanks surround
ing the air-tight chambers, in which the
compression is to take place. The Inn
prisoned air will be compressed to the
smallest limit, and thus utilized to RUN all
the machinery in the neighborhood.
''The erection of plant of the kind pro-
posed" said the informant, ''would ordi-
narily cost $15O,OOO. The saving by the
abolishment of coal and gas bills will
amount to millions. There are at present
two manufactures erected and two others in
the course of erection at Ellwood. The
largest of these will be the Hartman steel
works, next in Importance the Ellwood
enameling works operated by an English
firm"
"Why has the idea of introducing cheap
air power been left for Ellwood to adopt?"
was asked.
"Because all labor centers do not possess
the same facilities. Neither the Mononga-
hela nor Allegheny rivers have power
enough to generate the necessary compress
sion. 1t is reserved for a rushing semi
torrent like the Connoquenessing to supply
the requisite amount of power"
Work will be commenced on the project
as soon as the company has been organized.

AN APPEAL 70 THE PEOPLE.
Worlds Fair Men Not Indorsing Schemes
to Fleece tho Poor.

TO flooCo tn0 EoOr.
A. G. Roenigk, one Of the Worlds Fair
Commissioners, remarked yesterday that
when the Commission met in Harrisburg
last week the Governor made a very en-
thusiastic address. He is anxious to see
the States exhibit surpass every other in
the union. Mr.. Roenigk says every man
present was interested in the work, and he
thinks they won't have much trouble to stir
sup enthusiasm when the committees are ap-
pointed and each knows what he is to do.
In circular issued BY the Pennsylvania
Representatives on the National Board it is
suggested that fac-sisslile of the old Inde-
pendence Hall be built at Chicago! Messrs.
Widener and McClelland call on the 'manu-
facturers and miners to show their products,
not only to the people of the great West,
but also to that new audience from the
South American Republics, who will con-
gregate at Chicago in 1893, to take advantage
of the benefits in reciprocity of trade and
commerce" 1t is pointed out that the Gen.
itennial in 1876 resulted in great benefit to
the people of the State in educating them
in improved home comforts architecture,
the arts and sciences, and in opening up
new avenues of employment for labor.
Mr.. Roenigk is receiving circulars from
all sorts of combinations, setting forth that
by paying SO much per week until
the Fair commences the holder of
receipt is entitled to the trip to
Chicago, hotel expenses while there
and admission to the fair for certain num-
Der of days. The commissioners are asked
to examine the schemes and indorse them.
Mr.. Roenigk remarked that he would pay
no attention to them. He thinks the plans
are gotten up to catch the poor people, and
as he doesn't know the managershe he will not
lend his influence to cooperative schemes
that are liable to fail at the last moment
without accomplishing their purpose
1t is thought the commission will hold its
monthly meetings in Pittsburg, Philadel-
phia, Scranton, Erie and possibly at Will
Transport. In this manner all The people
can be reached and heard.

A Young Lady Who Wanted Only Very
DeIicately Tinted Lamb Chops.
'Now," said Mrs. Wilson, of the West
End, to her young lady daughter, just
home from boarding school, and who was
undertaking the marketing for the first
time, don't let the market man impose
upon you and sell you mutton chops for
lamb chops You can easily select the one
from the other, for lamb is so much more
delicate in color than mutton"
81 would like three pounds of lamb chops,
If you please" said the young lady, later,
to the white-aproned, white-capped market
man, ''and would like it very delicately
tinted"
''How will this suit you, Miss?"
"a shade lighter, if you please"
Evidently, you're not of the fashionable
color" said the meat-seller, after the de-
parture of the maiden, addressing himself
to the rejected mutton; 'guess III have to
bleach you. But who ever heard of buying
meat by the shade, anyway"

MOVING TO ELLWO0D.

Twenty Five Families Will Leave the South
side This Week.
On Tuesday morning 25 families will leave
the Southside for Ellwood, Ind, where
Geore A. Macbeth & Co. are locating their
new chimney factory. There is no need for
them going so soon, except that they will
be obliged to move before the new factory
starts, and the cost of living through the
summer shutdown will be less at Ellwood
than here.
The men will all be employed by the firm.
Nine families are already there, and more
are to follow. The new factory will be
ready to start with the new fire. The firm
will not transfer its headquarters, but will
remain on the Southside, where the old
factory will be kept in operation as long as
the present lease on the property continues.

Given at the Bijou Last Evening for the
Switchmen's Aid Association.
J. C. Kober's Dramatic Company gave a
clever performance of damon and
Pythias" at the Bijou Theater, which will
result in the enrichment of Gilt Edge
Lodge, of the Switchmen's Mutual Aid As
sociation, for whose benefit the play was
acted. Mr.. Kober is well-known in the
part of Damon, and his work last night was
strongly artistic Mr.. Elmer E. Shaner's
Pythias was also powerful piece of acting,
while the Calanthe of Miss Blanche Oswald was
an extremely touching characterization, be-
tokening study and natural ability.
Mrs Shaner and Master Reed Shaner
were also commendable, and the perform
ance as whole was meritorious. The
costuming naturally exhibited Mr.. Kober's
careful provision. A fairly large audience
enjoyed the play.

A Record of Accidents, Fatal and Other
Ste wise, Caused by Boilers.
A record of boiler explosions occurring
throughout the country for the year 1890
has just been printed showing the number
of explosions, together with the number of
people killed and injured thereby. The
number of explosions was 226, the largest of
any year but one in the last decade. That
was 1888, when the number reached 246.
The number Of deaths was 244, or the low
est for the past nine years with the exep-
tion of 1885. when the fatalities only num-
bered 22O. The injured numbered 351 The
number of killed and injured is reduced
with each succeeding year, owing probably
to more modern improvements. On an aver
age 1. 1.45,persons are killed at each explosion,
and 2.02 others are injured.

Manager George w. jerks said last night
that his New York agent had telegraphed
him that'he was about to sign Miss Coghlan.
This would insure remarkably fine cast,
seeing that Joseph Haworth, William Null
doom, the athlete, and some other we'll
known people are already engaged.
1t was proposed to give the play on the
Kenmawr Hotel lawn on July 16, but it
will probably be later date. The expense
of such q novel production will be very
great and it is desirable, Mr.. jerks thinks,
that the public should be thoroughly In
formed of its peculiar attractions. It
would be an exceedingly welcome event in
the midsummer desert.

Mr.. EDITOR The report OF DR.. Ham
mond's Friday evening address, which
appeared in Saturday mornings ADyER.
User, represents the speaker as having
made certain statements concerning the
Y. NJ. G. A. and it's Secretary, Mr..
Peck, which, confess, 1 read with
great surprise.
This surprise was due to two causes.
| In the first place: the attack, for it can
be called nothing less, was, as reported,
not only ungentlemanly, to say nothing
OF its being unchristian, but it was based
| on a misrepresentation, and so far as
appears, was altogether unprovoked and
uncalled for. In the second place, was
present throughout the whole of the
meeting in question, listened attentiyelv
to everything that was said, and was
morally certain that DIR. Hammond
neither used the language attributed to
him, nor anything resembling it ; and
furthermore, that he made no alusion to
Mr.. Peck's denOminational connection.
his intended calling in life, or his being
virtually pledged to work for sectariAu
ends. The particular expressions which
were emphasized by being put in quota
ton marks, and thereby made to appear
as exact reproductions of the speakers
words were, to the best of my recollec-
ton, pure fabrications. Unless nv
memory of matter not twelve hours old
was altogether at fault, the discrepancy
was too great to be accounted for by anv |
supposition of careless reporting or |
clumsy summarizing, and the use of the |
quotation marks was inconsistent with |
such theory.
On reaching home in the evening and
taking up the Bulletin, naturally look
ed to ind some denial from DIR. Ham
mona or some contradiction from some
other quarter, but found none. On the
contrary, to my further surprise, l found
report OF the meeting substantially
loentlcal with that which had appeared
IN the ADVERTISER.
1t is impossible to believe that cur two
Tally papers combined to misrepresent
Or. Hammond by putting words in his
mouth which he did not utter. If is
equally impossible for me to believe that
he language referred to could have been
lsed IN my presence by a man to whom
was attentively listening, and [ have
10 recollection of it the next morning.
Furthermore, | believe I know the
dltors and reporters of both papers, and
eel pretty sure that none of them were
resent at the meeting last Friday even
lg-unless they remained outside where
could not see them. l conclude, there
IRE, that some officious and mischievous

lshed these garbled reports, calculated
mt both ways, and stir up contention :
