porter called upon one OF the members
OF the local organization. 81 have not
fully given up confidence in the
scheme" said he, ''but the company
here preferred TO abandon 1t for awhile,
and let someone else do the costly ex-
perimenting for awhile. II it does
prove a success, as 1t looks to me it
would now in Chicago, our organization
here will doubtless renew operations in
this State, as we still hold the territory.
In my mind it Is a most admirable re-
frigerating scheme. When ice can be
made In fifteen minutes against twenty
four hours that it takes now, and when
the cold that IS produced by these re-
frigeraters sends off no moisture TO in
jure the meat or eatables, 1t is certainly
a great stride in science. But, the
question is, can the cold be produced
cheap enough to render it practicable?
This is something that will
have to be determined after
further series Of experiments. My
opinion is that Gen. Raum knows no
more about the chemical analysis Of that
salt than you or l do. And l think
Smith, the inventor, is something Of a
far-fetched story teller. He was In
Wheeling once or twice, and he said
that that salt could be made anywhere.
Now he knows very well that it can't
be. He alone holds the secret formula,
and he is too shrewd a manipulation to
give it away"
STILL HOLDS TO 1T.
President Brunhaus was in Pittsburg
last Saturday and met Gen. Raum, with
whom he had long talk in relation to
the scheme, during which Gen. Raum
was confident that ere long the chemic
ally prepared salt necessary for freez-
ing could be manufactured for or z
cents a pound. Mr.. Brunhaus still has
great faith in the scheme, and in about
two weeks will take trip to Chicago to
view the operations now going on there.
He Is of the opinion that the operating
expenses can be sufficiently reduced
after awhile to render the project prac-
ticable.
The members of the local organiza-
ton, up TO the time the scheme was
abandoned, dropped bundle aggrega-
ting about $1,000. Only small part OF
the subscriptions were paid in at the
time, but enough to render them Of
some moment. OF the $1,000 Mr..
Vance was perhaps the heaviest loser,
to the extent OF $4,000. President
Brunhaus has about 81, 700 tied up in
the venture, Postmaster Cowden 81, 500,
Mr.. Atkinson 81, 500 and others more or
less amounts. 1t is the purpose Of the
local members, In case the scheme
turns out successfully, TO renew opera
tions in this section, and in this event
IL may yet prove profitable.

A NARROW ESCAPE.
Two Trains Meet and Are Slightly Dam
aged at Bellaire.


What might have been a serious col
liSion occurred at Bellaire yesterday
afternoon at four o'clock.
The c. & p. passenger train which
departs at that hour was passing the
point where the tracks cross those OF
the c., L. & W., near the Bellaire steel
plant, and had the right OF way. On
the c., L. & w. freight engine with
two cars was coming from the yards.
The two trains were about to come to-
gether when the man who is stationed
at that point threw the switch, and
caught the tender and two coal cars OF
the C., L. & w. train. The engineer OF
No. 10, thinking the engine was about
10 topple over, jumped to the ground
and sprained his ankle. The tender
snd both cars attached to engine No.
IL were slightly damaged.

VERY POOR OUTLOOK.

Coke Shipments Down to Almost Nothing
The Market in Dismal Conditional
Decrease of I,41O Carloads During the
Past Week in Shipments.
SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcHl
SCOTTDALE, Feb 26-The coke market does
not manifest a single sign of improvement
Shipments last week took another remark able
downward spurt and the aggregate does not
compare anything like tavorably with quarter
days shipments in times of prosperity, or
even when the demand was sorely depressed
the outlook continues to be decidedly DOOR
The consumers still have an ample supply.
Those Of the Frick Company are reported as
having the best supply. The North Chicago
Rolling Mil Is not yet compelled to ecouOmize
on It's stock, having an abundance of fuel stored
away in the stockhouses. The Cambria Iron
Company AZ Johnstuwn is less fortunate as are
fuany OF the consumers of the Mcclure Com
pauy. Gheir resources are not vet exhausted,
however. The Eastern coking regions are re-
ported TO be supplying some of their orders.
The number of actlves is difficult to estimate
at this writing.

per day, as against go cars OF the week before.
The decrease amounted 10 l. 40 cars. The fol-

HOME SECURITIES.
Considerable Trading in Electric, but Prices
Weaker-No Special Change in the
onditions-Philadelphia Gas
and Pipeape ScOre Gains,


and Pipeage Score Gains.
Stock trading was dull in the East yesterday,
with few exceptions. Easy money has so far
failed to stimulate speculation in Wall street
TO the expected pitch. Reduced earnings OF
the railroads and the unsettled condition OF
labor have had depressing effect upon prices,
and operators do not care 10 take hold Until
they see some signs of a reversal of conditions.
People interested in Electric had no cause
yesterday to change their position. Friends Oh
the stock expressed confidence that Mr.. west
inghouse, upon his arrival here tomorrow,
would be prepared to make a statement which
would satisfy the public and set all disparaglng
reports at rest. Others were less hopeful, ana
expressed the opinion that another extension
would be called tor. These views offset eacn
other, but they had bearish effect upon the
stock.
News from Boston was not of reassuring
character. showing dullness and weakness, put
nothing was received from that point throwing
any light on Mr.. Westinghouse movements.
There were q number of orders here to be hlled
and his swelled the volume of transactions 70
respectable proportions, sales footing up 62o
lowed by an advance to 121. 1t was still
stronger at the second call, going at l22s, but
dropping back to IN. Bearish kilograms from
the East received during the third call caused =
reaction ard the price dropped to IlA anu
finally TO llx, from which it recovered a trite
and finished at 1l1a bid.
Philadelphia Gas scored the greatest gain OF
the day. One firm was well provided with buy
ing orders. and in placing them boosted the
price up to 1875, which was the final bid. Pipe
age was stronger in sympathy with Its parent
advancing from So bid at the opening to 9ls at
the close. Luster and Citizens Traction closed
with small fraction to their credit, but Switch
and Signal went off tritie.
The improvement in business at the Ex-
change has strengthened the figures for men,
bershlps. There was BID of $3.50 for one yes
terday without response.
