ONE CHANCE LEFT YET.
Indications That the Columbia Iron and
Steel Company May Recover.

Stockholders of the embarrassed Columbia
Iron and Steel Company have arranged with
the creditors of the concern to become inter-
ested in the company to the extent Of their
claims, and there are indications of all the
legal entanglements being removed.
Judge Ewing. of Uniontown. who was present
yesterday at the meeting. stated that arrange
ments had been satisfactorily concluded
whereby the Uniontown parties in addition to
purchasing the Sl02 900 of bonds held by Boggs
& Buhl, have wiped out 900 of the indebt-
edness, conditioned, however upon an exten-
sion of time being granted by the other cred
itors. Should this he secured the works will
resume at once. and Judge Ewing expressed the
belief that the entire Indebtedness can be
wiped out within few years. If an extension
is refused the plans for reorganization will fail,
md the receiver will assume charge of the
company'S affairs.

BOUND TO TIME.
Carnegie, Phipps Co. Were Obliged to Inn
port Machinery to Fill Orders.

Carnegie, Phipps Co. Were Obliged to Inn
port Machinery to Fill Orders.
The arrival at Baltimore on Tuesday of I30
tons of machinery consigned to Messrs
Carnegie. Phipps & Co., of this city, was COM
mented upon by Amalgamated Association
men yesterday and inquiry made as to why the
firm should buy machinery in England when
this country was so well equipped in plants for
such manufacture.
On in, estigation it transpired that the ma
chinery is for the new armor mill at Home
stead. and that, for various reasons, it was
necessary TO purchase the machinery abroad.
The machinery is partly for the new press 10 be
used for stamping the armor plates into shape,
anu this will be required to be of such ponder
GUS dimensions that the necessary machinery
could not be obtained in this country at pres
ent. The firm is under contract with the Gov
ernment to supply the plates within a limited
time. and that is SO short that it would expire
before even the plates for such machinery-if
to be made here-could be drawn.
Another reason given for importing the ma
chinery is that such work has never yet been
made here, this being the first time that the
Government has placed orders for plates of
such strength. One casting alone weighs IS
tons, and experts say that many months should
eapse after such was made here before it
could be made ready for going into place.

CHIEF MURPHYs FIRST REFORM.

He Issues an Order to Have the Pavements
Kept Clear.
Chief Murphy has decided that the side
walks in Allegheny must be kept clear for
passengers. An ordinance gives storekeepers
the right to display goods within three feet of
the property line. The shopkeepers, however,
have extended this clear to the curb line, and
at some places on Federal street only narrow
pathway has been left.
Yesterday Ordinance Officer Barclay was in
structed to clear everything from the line fixed
by ordinance to the curb. Notice was served
on Federal and Ohio street and the residents
on the other streets will be notified IS soon as
possible. Hereafter anyone who places an OBJ
struction of any kind on the pavement will be
arrested 1t is also intended TO coniscate all
wheelbarrows. etc., left standing on the side
walks.

SEVERAL GOOD WITNESSES.
Additional Testimony Expected To-Day In
the Gunsau1is Case,

the GunsauIis Case.
County Detective Beltzhoover expects to
produce three or four good witnesses at the
Coroner's inquest on the Gunsaulis murder
this afternoon. He declined TO state the ma.
ture of the testimony, but said he thought
their evidence would have an important bear
ing on the case.
William McDonough, the Southside police
officer who had been accused of shielding
suspected man. called on Mr.. Beltzhoover yes
terday and declared that he knew nothing
about the matter. In regard to the statement
credited to him that he had telephoned TO Mr..
BeltzhoOver that he knew the man wanted and
could find him whenever needed, McDonough
declared that he was not at the telephone when
Beltzhoover called, and knew nothing about it
until he saw it in the newspapers. There are
two persons, however, who have stated posi-
lively that McDonough told them at different
times that he knew the suspect well, and could
get him whenever he was wanted. Mr.. Nc
Donough will probably be called to the witness
stand to-day and given an opportunity to ex-
plain.

SPRING Is ON ITS WAY.

Signal Sergeant Stewart Refuses to Proph-
esy, but Is Very Hopeful.
A visit was paid to Sergeant Stewart, the
weather sharp, yesterday afternoon, and to the
query, Has spring arrived? he replied: when
looked out of my window this morning 1
thought spring had been here for a week by
the advancement in the foliage, but am not
willing to stake my reputation as a prophet
that il is here to stay. You know we might
have frost tonight, and that would retard the
season. Last year there was frost in the latter
part of May, and in 'S6 we had heavy frost in
June. However, the indications point to fair
weather, and the chances are that spring will
be with us to stay within very few days"
