PUSHING THE PLANT.
The New Rolled Steel Wheel Works at Ken
sington Nearly Completed-Increasing
the Capacity - Government Officials
Watching the New Product

The New Rolled Steel Wheel Works at Ken
sington Nearly Completed-Increasing
the Capacity Government Officials
Watching the New Product.
The Rolled Steel Car Wheel Company is
pushing the work on its new plant at Ken
sington, and it is now thought operations
can be commenced by the first of October.
The company is preparing to extend their
product to carriage and wagon wheels of all
descriptions, and also tubing for boilers and
plumbing purposes This will require the
introduction of new machinery, some of
which has already been built and is ready to
be taken to the plant
There are two or three pieces of this ma
chinery that are very novel in their con-
struction and manner of operation. and the
company has them patented exclusively for
their own use. The hubs of the rolled steel
wheel are also of steel, and formerly it has
been necessary to bore the spoke holes with
a lathe, making only one hole at time
With the new machine the holes are all
bored at once toward common center, and
the work of eight boys is done by one ma
chine. In like manner the rims are bored
from n common center and an equal amount
of time and labor is saved.
1t is claimed for the wheels made of this
material that they are more than double
strong while their weight is no greater than
that of q wooden wheel. The capacity of
Cne new pliHG Will De oU SetS Ol wagon
wheels, so sets of buggy wheels and tons
of boiler tubing. The capacity will be in
creased in IL short time. A wagon factory
will also be added in the near future.
A representative of the firm said yester-
day that a prominent official had recently
secured samples of their copper lined tub
ing with view to placing an order If it
proved satisfactory. A very strong and
durable tube is made by either lining OF
covering the steel with copper, all of which
Is done by rolling.
The company recently opened up trade in
South America and n number of sets of
wheels have been sent there.

SAW LINCOLN SHOT.
Recollections of an Old Pittsburger
About the Assassination.
GROWERS STOCK ON THE DECLINE.
Mr.. Hancock Says Voters Haven't the
Fullest Confidence in Hill.
FEW SHORT CHATS ON CURRENT TOPICS

W. T. Kent, one-armed representative
of the War Department, is stopping at the
Seventh Avenue Hotel He declined to
state what is his mission in Pittsburg In
1868 Mr. Kent was school teacher on
Squirrel Hill. Through the influence of
General Moorhead he secured position at
Washington, which he has held ever since.
Mr.. Kent has not been in the city for the
last % years, and he was surprised at its
wonderful growth.
When he lived here Pittsburg was then a
noted iron center and known everywhere as
the Smoky City. He can't see that the
smoky condition has been improved very
much, but the city has developed rapidly in
other directions. He thinks some of the new
buildings will compare favorably with any
in the country, and as for rapid transit Pitts
burg is In the lead of other cities.
Mr. Kent is an interesting talker and he
turned to the assassination of Lincoln. 81
was in Ford's Theater,' he said, "when the
President was shot. l was the third man in
the box after the deed was done. A doctor
called for knife to see where the ball en-
tered che body. pulled long knife out of
my pocket and gave it TO him. l remember
how the surgeon ripped open the Presidents
clothing to see where the bullet had lodged.
1t was discovered in the head. l have that
knife now, and prize it very highly. I
wouldn't sell it for its weight in diamonds.
L believe the first authentic account of the
assassination published in the Pittsburg pa
pers was written by me. 1t was a letter to
my mother, and described the shooting as
l saw it."

CITY AFFAIRS DISCUSSED
At Last Nights Meeting of the Alleghen
Auditing Committed.

At Last Nights Meeting of the Allegheny
Auditing Committee.
81 The Allegheny Auditing Committee met
last night and considered the report of the ex-
perts submitted to the subcommittee sew
eral days ago. The experts found shortages
in the receipts reported to the controller of
fees for street car and switch licenses and
for the weighing of live stock. The short
ages relating to the street car companies
are based on the returns sworn to and sub
mitted to the secretary of internal affairs,
on which the State tax is paid. They are in
variably greater than the returns made to
the city controller on which the city tax is
paid. The shortages in the returns from
the stock yards and switches are based on
information obtained from other sources.
The street car companies are said to be some
returns are about q, 600 short, and the switch
licenses about $725.
The matter was but informally discussed,
and the report was filed. During the dis
cusSion the members of the committee were
of the opinion that Controller Brown could
not be held responsible in any degree for the
shortage, as he is not expected to doubt the
returns when sworn to, and his duty ends
when he notified debtors that their time for
paying up has come around. When the COM
mittee next meets the Mayor and his clerk
are to be requested to be present.
A resolution was passed requesting the
City Solicitor TO submit an opinion as to the
legality of the Mayors retention of fees now
in his hands, and as to the right of the police
and detectives to collect fees for serving
writs, etc. ...-.

many of his supporters and admirers In New
York. He is not nearly so popular as he was
when he first ran for President,
and 1t is very doubtful if he
secures the State delegation. In his early
days Grover was very fond of drinking beer
with the Germans. In this way he made
many personal friends. When he was elect
ed President his old cronies felt they had a
pull on him, but they were disappointed
His coldness and rebuffs estranged them,
and these people are now his bitter oppon-
ents. Hill, of course, is somewhat of n factor
in the race. The Governor occupies a
peculiar position. No fault is found with his
administration. His official acts are open
