A VERY REMARKABLE GROWTH.
Mr.. Weeks Says the South Will Never Hur
the Local Iron Industry.

Mr.. Weeks Says the South Will Never Hurt
the Local Iron Industry.
Joseph D. Weeks left for Virginia yester-
day. He says local iron men do not realize
the wonderful development made in the
South along the base of the Appalachian
range of mountains. A number of steel
plants are being erected, and Mr.. Weeks
claims the Southerners will be able to make
cheaper steel than Pittsburg manufacturers,
but it can't compete in this city's home
market.
Mr.. Weeks continued: "It is mistake to
think that the South will knock out Pitts
burg, but the markets for this city are
bound to be limited. Not that less iron and
steel will be made here, but it won't
go into such remote fields. Few
people know how Pi.tsburg and its mar
kets are constantly growing. Why, the
increase in the production of pig iron here
since 1885 is more than the entire output of
Alabama. This is wonderful pig iron
center. When steel was first introduced it
was thought no more puddled iron would be
made, when the truth is, more
is produced now than ever before. The
same will be true of Pittsburg in connection
with the growth of the South. AS the latter
territory develops labor will become higher,
the demand for numerous articles will in
crease, and the Southern people will not be
able to make iron and steel so cheaply. In
this manner undue competition will right
ITSELF"
Mr.. Weeks is enthusiastic over ,the
Southern coal fields. He says there is more
bituminous coal in the two Virginias than
in the Connellsville region. The coke is
not so good, but it is not bad, and is an ex-
cellent tuel. The veins average IL feet in
thickness

VICTIMIZED ITALIANS.

Aquavine Obtains Money From a Number,
but Fails to Provide Employment.
Several Italian sharpers have been utiliz-
ing the coke region trouble as the means to
line their pockets at the expense of good
number OF their unsuspecting countrymen.
A man named Aquavine and two others
represented among the Italians that they
could obtain employment for them in
Westmoreland and Fayette counties if they
would pay fee of S3 % to cover the ex-
press and transportation. 1t is stated that
35 Italians paid the sharpers this amount
on the understanding they were to 60 to
work last week.
A number of them called on Aquavine at
his boarding house, at 75 Washington street,
and failing to get satisfaction from him
made complaint to Officer Metzgar. who ar
rested Aquavine. The victims appeared at
Central station yesterday morning to testify
against the agent but Magistrate Gripp
postponed the hearing until the prisoner S
partners were found.

A BOOMING BOROUGH.

Coraopolis Building Up at Great Pace
New Stores Started and Prospering-sell-
ing Feed to Farmers-Bad Streets Make
it Difficult to Catch Trains.
Coraopolis is forging ahead. There are
more cellars dug and building material
piled up in the borough than were ever be.
fore seen at any time of year, and the village
in which goat could scarce get living
three years ago, now affords employ
ment to large number of men
who are no longer forced to come
to the city for it. Store after store has
been added to the place and all are doing a
good business. A feed store was started in
the town last fall by q man who was told
that he could not make living there,
but he has sold since then 5000
bushels of oats alone and his hay
trade has been enormous. 1t doesn't
reflect much credit on the.farming commun-
ity back of the town, however, to state that
farmers are the best customers of the feed
store proprietors. farmers with 100 to 200
acres buying feed. They have been paying
up their mortgages, however, since the oil
belt was developed.
Neither does the condition of the roads
reflect any credit ON the people of Cora
opolis, who have most profted from the
awakening. They are still hub deep with
mud, and some of them so narrow, even
within the borough limits, that vehicles can
only pass each other at intervals. A man
coming to the station yesterday IN a great
hurry to catch a train was LETT on
account of overtaking four-horse
team in narrow "street" half mile from
the station. 1t was of no use, as he had to
wait until the heavy team, at snaii's pace,
reached wide place in the road, when he
succeeded in passing by running the risk of
upsetting, putting the wheels on one side
of the buggy over the bank of a dizzy preci-
plce. By the time the irate man reached
the station the locomotive of the train
whistled for the second station this side Of
the town.

tered all over the city, for there is no one
district where they can be accommodated.
They will make acquaintances amongftheir
new neighbors, will acquire other ideas,
aud, while they NAV lose some individual
iiy. they will be gamers thereby. There Is
a similar instance on Tunnel street, where
many persons live in a confined space, but
that does not belong to the Schenley estate. !"
Trying to Fool the Assessors.
While the Assessors will be helped in a
few scattering cases by the assessments
made three years ago, in most instances
they have to go to work as if an assessment
had never been made on the property. The
experience of three years since has, perhaps,
been more valuable to the property-owner
than to the Assessors. The former learned
that the last recorded sale was considered a
fair basis, and at once proceeded to make
that basis represent anything but the value
of the property.
Chief Assessor Case discovered this fact
the other dav. A portion of a solid block OF
real estate had been cut up and sold to sew
eral persons. The deed was in the usual form,
but IN each instance the consideration
was 81, which was rather cheap for big lot
in the business center of the city. The
Assessor could discover no ties of con-
sanguinity or affection between the sellers
and the purchasers, so be made quiet in
vestigation. The price Of the property was
paid, and in good hard cash, and it was
many thousand times 81. Ii the price had
been inserted the Assessors would have had
a basis for the whole block OF property. As
it is they will have to guess. If they guess
too low the property holders will say moth
ing. but il they guess too high the owners
have an opportunity to produce evidence
showing the actual price paid. The Assessors
won't talk much, but the expression of the
faces give them the appearance of men who
mean to guess hard and high.

After imbibing copiously they purchased a
supply of liquor for Sunday, and O'Malley
proceeded to take Schueur to his home on

able to determine the extent of his injuries.
O'Malley was arrested and sent to the
Twenty-eighth ward station to await the
result of Schueur's injuries. Last evening
the attending physician sent certificate to
Captain Stewart, stating that Schueur's in
juries were not serious, and that he would

Coraopolis Again Has Her Quota of Mag
isterial Dignity.
Squire George A. Lashell has gotten
his commission and now Coraopolis,
whose judicial department has been
running with one wheel for more
than a year, is under full canvas
The result of the fight has sent several
political schemes aglee In the first place
the slate did not contemplate the election OF
Lashell, and in the second, after
he was elected, there was a ques-
tion raised as to whether there
was a vacancy. The late incumbent, how
ever. having been a nonresident for more
than year this objection did not hold.
Then ii was held by the opposition that il a
commission issued to Lashell it could be but
for year. He, however, placed the facts be-
fore the Attorney General, with the result
that his commission is all wool and yard
wide and made out for five years.
Since the place has grown to one of some
Importance the position is good one, not
only from strategic, but also from lu-
crative standpoint.

Father MoIlingers Illness Developing No
Better Features.
Rev. Father S. G. Molljnger. of the Most
Holy Name Church, on Troy Hill, has re-
covered from another severe attack of his
lingering illness. This time he was only
confined to his room less than two weeks,
but it has just leaked out that he
was nearer deaths door than ever before,
and while Father Mollinger is again able
to be out and attending to the most Of his
duties, his chances of becoming healthier
are getting less hopeful all the time. His
sickness, in developing itself, is now
rapidly commencing to show symptoms Of
a dropsy OF the kidneys.
When the great priest is not able to be
outdoors, he mostly treats his invalid
patients in special parlor in his residence.
During his last sickness, when he was un-
able to be out, he had several very i'm
portant visitors. Some had come from Vir-
ginia and others from Kentucky. and all re-
mained on Troy Hill week, in order to see
him and get the blessing of st. Anthony
before they went away.
