Postmaster Cowden, of Wheeling, Says the
Refrigerator Works All Right

WHEELING, Sept. T.-[SpecidL l-P Postmaster
Cowden, in an interview, denies that either
he or Congressman Atkinson were incorpo-
rators of the original Raum Refrigerator
Company. He says that they saw the con-
cern work in Washington and induced Mr.
Ranm to send box to this city, where it
worked all right. The local company was
then formed, and they sent for more refriger-
ating salt, but when it came it did not work.
Frank Smith, the inventor, said the salt had
been tampered with by an enemy of the
company, and another consignment W ould
be sent on.
Meanwhile, the local company was abau-
doned for a time. Mr.. Cowden expresses the
utmost confidence in General Raum, and be-
Heves the refrigerating salt, when properly
made, Will do all that is claimed for it, as it
did in numerous public exhibitions here.
The parent company contracted to sell the
salt to the local company at not more than
l2 cents pound, and at as much less as pos
Sible.

Ties of Steel.

All lovers OF the fast falling forest
trees will find qualification in the
iact that railroad ties can not only
be made of steel, but that, within the
past few days, u car load of such
ties was shipped from this city to be
used by n western railroad. AS
wood grows scarcer and the process
of making steel ties becomes per-
fccted, these two causes must have
one effect, namely, the lessening of
tree slaughter by railroads. l. is a
consumlnation devoutly to be wished.
Every mile ofmodern railway, with
its thousands of ties and its vista of
telegraph poles, represents a grove
OF trees laid low. But the steel ties
existence betokens no such denuda-
ton of hill and valley. 1t simply
represents II iewcubic feet of space
added to the depths from which cox
ing coal and ore are taken. The fur
