Yankee ingenuity is proverbial.
Already we are beginning to i'm
prove on English methods in the
manufacture of tin plate. For cen
turies the English tin makers have
used tallow largely at one step of
the process. An American manu-

oil is preferable in many respects
to tallow. Cottonseed oil is cheap

now growing up in this country

Street Synagogue, Found Not Guilty of
Assault and Rattery-Many Minor Notes
of the Courts.
The trial OF Reuben Miller, Vice Presi-
dent of the synagogue on Grant street, was
heard yesterday. He was sued by Fl. Bao-

and battery. The plaintiff testified that on
Sunday, February %, meeting was held in
the church, and that the meeting was lively
one. At the close of it Reuben Miller struck
him three times in the face. Mr.. Miller tesIi-
hed that the prosecutor had addressed very
vile names to him and shook his fist under his
nose. The witness said he thought that the
plaintiff would strike him, and in self-defense
struck him the blows mentioned. The jury
was out but short time and returned YER
dict of not guilty, but divided the costs be-
tween each of the parties.

Mr.. Rowaud is not so deserving of the re-
proaches which have been cast at him as some
people would make it appear. The case is a
very simple one. Both Mr. Westinghouse and
Mr.. Rowand were the salarled officers of the
company, and as such were both equally bound
to the interests of the shareholders, In whose
service they were. The esharehOlders-manyo of
whom never saw either of them, and knew
nothing of any personal differences that might
exist between Mr.. Westinghouse and Mr..
Rowan-sent in their proxies TO their repre-
sentatiyes to be used in their best interests. /
believe that the proxies have been so used, and
in a manner that is perfectly legal and proper.
Il look upon the result of the election as
being very favorable to the business of the
company. Mr.. Westinghouse attention and
time beng withdrawn from the Signal Com
pany's affairs will give him better opportu-
nifty to look after his other interests, while Mr..
Rowand can give undivided attention to the
company The proper course was pursued at
the election, and in my opinion, the stock is
to-day $40 better for the result"
Fluctuations of the Stock.
While the last trouble has apparently had no
i'll effects on the stock markets. very little of
the Union Signal and Switch Company or
Westinghouse Electric has changed hands
lately. The former is very steady, however.
and yesterday it opened at and closed at 81.
None of the stock was sold at that price.
The Westinghouse Electric was somewhat
weaker. Wednesday it closed at 1lN yester-
day it opened at ll1s, and at the noon call it
had dropped to 1054. 1t closed at lG1a.
There seems to be no very great desire to in
vest in stock of the Westinghouse interests at
present. Mr. Westinghouse says his Eastern
negotiations are moving on very satisfactorily,
and IN few days he will be ready TO settle up
the difficulties into which the Westinghouse
Electric Company has been plunged by the
stringencv of the money market. Under these
circumstances the stock market is liable to be
stimulated somewhat within q few days.

ALITTLE MAIDEN'S STORY.

Inspector McAleese Hears the Foundation
for a Good Dime Novel-An Orphaned
Girl Turned From Her Home by a Stony
Hearted Creditor.
Inspector McAleese has young girl on
his hands about whom he is in considerable
doubt. She gives her name as Annette Lee,
aged 13, of Butler. says she is an orphan
and has no relatives in this part OF the
country.
The attention of the Inspector was at
tracted to the young girl through gentle
man who saw her in the waiting room of the
Allegheny and Manchester street car line. at
Market and Sixth streets, yesterday and to
whom she related the loss Of her pocketbook-
Detective Coulson went to the waiting room
and talked to the girl, who told him she was a
stranger in the city and had no money. She
was taken to Central station, where she told
her story to the Inspector. He notified the
officers of the Allegheny and Manchester line.
and soon afterward the pocketbook, containing
several dollars. was tdrned in by Conductor
Holmes, who had found it lying on the floor of
his car.
The story of the young girl. who is delicate
in appearance though bright pretty, and intel
ligent. is that her parents died when she was a
babe, since which time she has been living
with her Aunt Sadie Lee, maiden lady of 60
who died last week and buried in the
Hemptield Cemetery. After the burial of the
aunt she was nut out of the house by some
man whose name the girl cannot remember,
who told her that the house and its contents
were taken for payment of some debts the de-
ceased had left. She came to Pittsburg
Wednesday evening, having only $40, which she
said her aunt had given her before she died.
and put mp at Boley's Hotel in Diamond
Square. Yesterday morning she went to Allie
gheny and had her bangs trimmed. and on her
return on the street car she lost her pocket
book.
The weak part of the girls story is that she
cannot remember the names of anyone either
in Butler or in Springdale where she went to
school. She said her aunt had been recluse
and never received visitors or had anything to
do with her neighbors. and that, she said was
the reason she could not give tho names of any
of them.
Altogether the story is SO odd and unlikely
that the Inspector is anxious to hear from the
girls parents, from whom he believes she has
run away She will be held at Central station
for few days.

BIG IRON PLANT DEAL.
The Oil Well Supply Company Now
Purchasing Two Large Mills.
OVER HALF A MILLION INVESTED.
Railroads Are Suspending Men and Mills
Are Closing Down.
MISCELLANEOUS INDUSTRIAL ITEMS

The Oil Well Supply Company has about
closed negotiations for the purchase Of the
EIba Iron Works and the Continental Tube
Works, both located ON Second avenue, at
Soho. The papers have not yet been signed,
but the terms have been agreed upon, and
the contracts are in the course of prepara-
tion by competent attorneys. The price to
be paid is in the neighborhood of $3.50, 900.
The purchase was made for the purpose
of manufacturing tubing to supply the
firms trade. AS soon as the deal is closed,
work will be commenced Immediately on i'm
provements which are to cost $50 600 in order to
put both plants in good shape before beginning
operations. A new iron building will be added
to the Elba plant and a new storage building
will be built for the tube works.
Plans arc being prepared for operating the
plants on larger scale. The Continental Tube
Works have not been in operation for over Two
years until last October, when both plants
were leased and started up by T. b. Everson,
who was backed by the OIL Well Supply Com
pany, as an experiment
Under the new management Mr. Everson
will continue in full charge of both plants,
which will give employment to about l. LOO
men and will have daily capacity of l5O tons
each. Skelp, from which wrought iron pipe is
made, Will be made at the Elba plant. and from
there it will be taken to the tube works, where
it will be converted into tubes of all sizes.
N o time will be lost In getting started and
even then the firm will not be able to supply
more than half their spring trade They still
hold the local agency for the Reading Iron
Company and procure through tdat a large
amount of material
]. 3. Eaton, President of the Oil w ell Supply
Company, was seen yesterday and corroborated
the above facts concerning the purchase of the
plants but said he had been trying to keep the
matter quiet. 1t is of particular interest TO the
firm alone, which has very protitably adopted
the policy of manufacturing all its own goods
SO far as possible.
Mr.. Eaton thinks his new investment will
prove of great value to his firm, besides furnish
ing employment to a large number of men.
Work will be continued as at present during
the progress of the repairs which will be pushed
as rapidly as possible.
