CYCLORAMA HALL NOT SOLD,

But the Indications Are 1t VIII Not Be
Long in the Market.
At meeting of the stockholders of the
Cyclorama Company yesterday afternoon it
was finally decided to dispose of the build
ing as soon rs possible. The meeting,
held in the Office of the Western Insurance
Company, W. P. Herbert presiding, was
called for the purpose of considering prop
osition which had been received in regard
to the purchase of the building and lease,
which runs till 1905 The deal was not closed,
however. Another meeting will be held in
a few days, when it is probable that they
will come to terms.
One of the stockholders said yesterday
they were anxious to get the building off
their hands, as it had been anything but
paying investment. Mr.. Herbert said the
building and the painting together cost the
company s900O0, and to-day the great au-
ditorium stands empty and the picture has
been cut up and distributed among the
various G. A. r. posts of the two cities, The
great circular hall in which the painting
was exhibited is 12O feet in diameter and has
a seating capacity, as it is arranged at pres
ent, of about 5000. This could be increased
by the addition of gallery to about 1000. 1t
will probably be fitted up by the purchaser
as public hall for the use of conventions,
concerts, etc,

LOOKING FOB HIS SISTER.

Edith Martin Thought to Be the Daughter
of Respectable Parents.
A very respectable appearing man Of
middle age called at Mayor Gourley's office
yesterday and requested visitors ticket of
admission to the workhouse. He strongly
suspects that the girl who was arrested in
the Vickroy speak-easy is his sister. She
gave the name of Edith Martin, but that is
believed to be fictitious.
The man said his sister had mysteriously
disappeared from home about three months
ago, and that nothing had been heard from
her since. A rule of the workhouse forbids
prisoners who have been there less than 80
DAYS from seeing visitors, but the appeal of
the man was so touching that permit was
issued to him.

A NEW MUSICAL INVENTION.
Is It an Organ or a Pianoe

All the objections to the parlor organ
are at last done away with by this new in
vention. 1t has seven full octaves (as
many keys as the Steinway Grands) and
looks exactly like a fine upright piano.
There are no stops in view, nor any un-
slightly bellows pedals, but the instrument
is worked by two pedals exactly like those
on piano, and 6-year-old child is able to
work them with ease. The delicacy and va
riety of its tones are wonderful, and the
touch SO light and quick that the most diff
cult piano pieces can be executed thereon
without difficulty. 1t is a marvellous i'm
provement on the common parlor organ and
has created great sensation in musical cir
cles. The price is not higher than that of
the ordinary organ. H. Kleber & Bro, 500
Wood street, are the sole agents, and they
invite all, whether purchasers or not, to call
and see it.

NO PIPE TRUST FORMED.
The Meeting Yesterday Was of a Simple
Routine Character.

The Meeting Yesterday Was of a Simple
Routine Character.
A meeting of manufacturers of wrought
iron and boiler tubes was held in Philadel-
phia yesterday afternoon. No trust was
mentioned The purpose of the meeting
was to discuss the condition of the trade
and the low prices now obtained 1t was
the opinion of those present that unless bet
ter prices can be obtained for tubular goods
the ultimate result will be- not only the shut
down of large number of mills, but also
reduction in wages and of general expenses
necessary to meet the present ruinous COM
petition. The only conclusion reached at
the meeting was an agreement upon re-
duction of ~ per cent in the rate OF dis
count to the trade, thus increasing the man
facturers price to that extent.
A representative of the Pittsburg Tube
Works said yesterday: 1.-THE idea never was
to form trust. The only arrangement that
was suggested was one to equalize the trade.
If a manufacturer gets large order now
that he cannot fill, he ships part of it on
East and vice versa. What we want to do
in cases of that kind is to keep the business
in its respective districts
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1891-08-07

seems a matter of astonishment that the
idea was not sprung in practical shape many
wears ago and it is characteristic of the last
few years that practical ideas which would
have been considered chimerical 20 years
ago, have been broached and put into effect
before the average man caught on. Iron
nit posts would not burn In cases of mine
confagrations and while these fires would
be rendered much less destructive the rem
nants of our forests might be saved and an
enormous business interest developed by
their manufacture.

HOW ALUMINIUM DROPPED.
The Price of the Metal as Compared With
That of Steel.

The Price Of the Metal as Compared With
That of Steel.
The reduction in the price Of aluminium
has brought out some interesting informa-
tion regarding that metal. Shortly after the
manufacture of aluminium began on any
considerable scale it was worth $50 a pound.
1t soon fell to s30 then to SIS. about Is years
ago; six years ago it sold at S. a pound and
is now quoted at ST a pound pure, 80 cents
for the commercial metal above go per cent
pure.
This being the most abundant metal in the
world, found in all common clays, those in
terested in it seem to think it's cost will soon
drop to l5 or 20 cents pound. 1t is less than
one-quarter the weight of iron, with greater
tensile strength. Steel has fallen from sl2S
to about an average of S2S ton in 20 years.
The decline in aluminium has therefore been
much more rapid, and if it continues at the
same rate for the other five years, an almost
insignificant low price would be reached.

BEST BADLY WORsTED.
City Clerk Booth and a Public Printer
Have a Knock-Down Argument

Have q Knock-Down Argument.
Yesterday afternoon lively scrimmage
occurred in the City Clerks office between
City Clerk Booth and Thomas Best, one of the
city printers. Mr.. Booth had been quoted in
an evening paper on Thursday as criticising
Best rather severely for delay in getting GER
tain of the contracts in his charge COM
pleted within the stipulated time, thereby
Best went up to the Office yesterday after
noon and denied the charges, but the City
Clerk was certain of their truth, and as he
into dispute with Best, who applied an op-
probrious epithet. This was resented by a
blow straight from the shoulder that sent
Mr. Best spinning, but he recovered and en-
deavored to grapple. Then he received an
other blow that decided him. He started off
vowing the vengeance Of the law.
