A LIBRARY SITE SAVED.

How the Carnegies Are Making Use Of the
City Poor Farm-Buildinss Which Have
Already Been Erected-Features of the
Near Future.
The old City Farm, located at Homestead,
on the banks of the Monongahela river, and
purchased about one year ago by Carnegie,
Phipps & Co., is rapidly being transformed
into manufacturing town, and will shortly
prove valuable adjunct to the already
prosperous and most thriving little city of
Homestead. Immediately after the purchase
of the City Farm site by the Carnegie firm,
they commenced to extend their plant and
erected thereon numerous buildings. Among
the number is a mammoth new beam mill,
the largest and most complete of the kind
in the world
There is also a department for the press
ing and shaping of armor plates, an immense
machine shop, an electric light plant, large
warehouse for storing refractories and other
materials used in the works. But, with all
the buildings above mentioned, there is
still space enough left to erect any number
of departments that may be required in years
to come. However. only that portion of
the property lying below the P, V. & G.
and T., Mex. & Y. railroads, and EXTEND
ing along the river bank as far as the
Homestead borough line, will be reserved
for manufacturing sites All that portion
of the valuable farm that lies above the
Eighth avenue extension, and reaching out
over the hill above Munhall nearly half
mile in length, will be placed on the mar
ket as building lots. The plan of lots has
just been completed and shows that there
are 3S7 lots in all, with frontage of 80 feet
and depth of no feet each
But the most important feature in the
plan is the reserving of library site be-
tween Louise and Margaret and Tenth and
are 240x300 feet. Upon this site Mr.. Car
negIe contemplates the erection of free
library, which he will present to the town.

ALL TIN NOT In WALES.

The Rich Deposits LII California and A us
tralia-The Supply in the Latter Country
Practically Unlimitec-How 1t Was Dis
covered.
''Thes tin production of the future is
largely located in Australia said we'll
known chemist yesterday. twenty-five
years ago the entirestin production of the
world was below $1,000 tons year, and
now Australia alone yields considera-
bly, more than that quantity. If you
have noticed anything about it you must
have remarked the newspapers that are dis
cussing the subject of Tin and the Tariff
speak as though the mines of Cornwall and
Wales-the ancient Cassiterides, which
were originally worked by the Romans-are
still supplying the world. This is not so,
however, by any means The Australian
mines have an Importance of their own and
of a distinctive character. Talking about
duty, up to 1887 the Duke of Cornwall re-
ceived duty of S19 46 on every ton of tin
mined in Cornwall. This discouraged the
Cornishmen, and, while the matter was
agitaIing Parliament, good many miners
emigra.ed rather than remain and starve.
So, when finally the duty was taken off, it
was found that the number of miners and
their capital of enthusiasm were 1essened,
and that it was costing too much to work
the old mines Hence the outlook was not
promising in those days, which marked the
commencement of the modern era of British
tin production. The sequel was marked.
While the abolition of the duty was under
discussion deal of lawlessness occurred
among the miners, of whom there were
some transported.
'They have quaint couplet, which runs:
we 'uns knows tin, like priests know SIN!
Prospecting about while confined there in
penal servitude, those men readily recog-
nized tin when they came to see it in the
beds of the creeks, or underneath the basalt
in the old river basins. Wisely keeping
their counsel, they had plans for profting
by their discoveries, when, in anticipated
time, transportation should be abolished.
But, although this occurred in 1858, it was
more than Is years before the convicts who
had discovered the metal were free to mine
it. Then came the Australian gold fever,
and almost strange to say, those men turned
from gold digging to tin mining. When our
California miners found, years ago, a mag
niicent tin deposit in the Temescal Hills,
Just below Los Angeles. the silver and gold
proved so much more attractive that they
neglected the tin. But in New South
Wales it was different, and the Cornishmen
went to digging. That was the beginning
of the New England mining.

pms. Last year the value of the output
,ached about s. $4,000. The supply is

The Defendants viii Carry 1t TO the Su-
preme Court, If Necessary.
Messrs. Eaton and Rinehart went to
Greensburg Yesterday with intent to enter
suit against DR.. Grimes, Paul Hacke ct al,
for killing wolves in pursuance of the OBJ
ject of training young Russian wolf
hounds. DR.. Grimes makes light of the
matter He says that so long as people are
allowed to pursue rabbits, which are not in
the least cruel, as are wolves; so long as the
Supreme Court regards shooting pigeons
from a trap as more merciful than the
ordinary butchery of birds prosecuted in
the woods, so long as the wolf is an out
lawed animal, on whose head all States set
price by paying bounties for their
scalps and as one of the animals
was known to be so vicious that thescus-
todians of Schenley Park wanted him put
out of his misery, they, the defendants, will
not allow the training of their hounds to be
neglected on account of the hysterical howls
of lot of old women
DR.. Grimes further wants to know, as the
States encourage the killing of wolves,
whether those who kill them are under obli-
cations to have them electrocuted or first
rendered insensible by the use of anesthet-
les. He further says that if the Humane
Society get a verdict against them they will
carry the case to the Supreme Court, and
possibly follow it bv bringing suit against
the society for malicious prosecution.

So Soon.

Another year is ending-is about to pass
away. Triumphs have crowded thick and
fast; acquaintances. friends, patrons and
business has increased-grown enormously.
Margins have been small, but gigantic
sales make the result satisfactory far be-
yond expectation. January is our month of
losses; odds and ends and unreasonable
merchandise we slaughter before stock tax
ing Monday. Cleaning up prices will rule
in every department. Cloaks get the deep
est cut. You will be surprised at the prices
made here; you will think them irrational,
but the seasons over, they must go. If you
had bad arm or limb that would poison
your whole body and eventually kill you,
you would cut it off. Unreasonable mer-
chandise carried over will condemn an en-
tire stock in the eyes of customers. Get
rid of it at some price, is our method; its
absence is what we want; ANYTHING will go
at price. THORNTON BROS,

Burglars Try TO Enter an East End Resi-
dence, but Find Their Mistake.
A well-laid plan to rob the house of R. G.
Lyons, Neville street, East End, was foiled
Friday night. Presuming that Mr.. Lyons
was alone at home one of the burglars went
to the front door and rang the bell, while
the other mashed window to effect an en-
trance in the rear. But it happened that
one of the servants was present, as we'll as
two of Mr.. Lyons nephews, who had been
spending Christmas there. The servant did
not open the front door, but asked who was
there. There was no reply, and a moment
later the crash of breaking glass was heard
in the rear.
The men of the house ran back just in
time to see the two burglars running out of
the yard. The police were notified, but
have not yet captured the men. Mr.. Lyons
says he keeps no money in the house and
cannot understand what the robbers were
after.

'DURR'S DIVORCE SUIT
Bobs Up Once More in the Shape of
an Action for Damages.
A CLAIM FOR $4,000 ENTERED.
Charges of False Arrest to Prevent Testi-
mony Being Given.
PROCEEDINGS OF THE COUNTY COURTS

Harry Wells yesterday entered suit
against John X. Durr, the hotel proprietor,
for 1000 damages for alleged false arrest.
Wells states that in October, 1891, he came
from Butte City, Mont, where his home
now is, to testify in the divorce suit be-
tween Durr and his wife. Durr, he alleges,
had threatened in Morgantown, w. Va,
Wells native town, that if Wells came
here to testify in the case, he would have
him arrested.
When Wells was in Pittsburg, on his
errand to give his testimony, Durr trumped
a charge of larceny against him, he alleges,
and had him arrested. Having no friends
here Wells was compelled to go to Jail where
he remained some time before he was dis
charged. He now asks $4,000 damages for
the indignity he suffered.
