TERMS OF THE DISPATCH.
PITTsBURG, FRIDAY, JUNE 26, 1881.
THE GROWING TOWNS AROUND US.


One of the healthiest signs of the future
for Pittsburg is to be noted these days in
the number of new towns which are
springing up on every side. There are al
most a dozen of these, dating within the
past few years and in various stages of de-
velOpment, from active, substantial and
pOpulous places like Jeanette or Wilmer
ding to enterprises of more recent concep-
ton, such as KensingtOn, Ellwood and
Others not yet fully out of the paper-plan
period, but promising, nevertheless, to be-
come, before the year is over, sites for
manufacturing concerns and for communi-
ties incident thereto.
A great part of the resources of Pitts
hurg'S business life is to be found in the
towns thiekly dotting its outskirts. The
census returns have shown that by inclu-
sion of territory proportioned to that of
other pretentious cities, PittSburg would
rank fifth. among those of the United
States in population. While our city is
nominally shOrn of this honor, we have
that which is better-the close communica-
ton and daily trade of theseSuburban seats
of industry.
The starting of new towns in and around
Pittsburg has been shown by experience
to be quite different in results from at
tempts which have been made in other To-
calities. 1t is fact that this is healthy
business climate for new towns. We have
seen, at our doors almost, the wonderful
growth of McKeesport, Braddock and
Homestead; and the development of the
hill-boroughS on the Southside, which,
with Williamsburg, Sharpsburg and Etna,
may be regarded practically as extensions
Of the city proper. The greater part of
this eXtention has occurred within the past
ten years. There is to be noted also the
simultaneous rapid growth ofindustries and
population in the older but not less tribu-
tary towns, such as taking few examples
from long list, Greensburg, Uniontown,
Connellsville, Washington, Canonsburg,
Butler, New Castle, Youngstown and
East Liverpool. The characteristic ex-
perience of all legitimate enterprises in
Western Pennsylvania, Eastern Ohio and
West Virginia has been, in short, growth
and prosperity. Hence the new era of
tOwn-founding upon which we have re-
Gently seemed to enter may be looked to
with confidence as indicative of material
additions to Pittsburg's resources in the
future.
While these evidences of substantial de-
velopment are presented around us from
day to day, we can look with complacency
even upon the somewhat surprising ex-
lately been able to make in the production
of pig iron. 1t is easy to see that growth
in one section of the country has not, in
this case, prevented equally surprising
progress in another devoted to kindred in
terests Pittsburgs expansion is gratify-
ing in the fullest degree-but it is nothing
as yet to what this generation will see
should it be privileged to witness the
building of the proposed ship-canal to the
lakes.

ICE CREAM POISONING.
An Interesting Article on the Subject by
DIR. George 8. Hull.

An Interesting Article on the Subject by
DIR. George 8. Hull.
There is much food for reflection in the
suggestion made by DR.. George g. Hull in the
Medical Nes0s Of June ~ that the modern ice
cream freezer when filed with cream, is in
reality a galvanic cell or battery The
cream, especially If saline, or If mixed with
fruits, eggs, etc., becomes the corrosive elec-
trolyte, and the zinc and tin, zinc and cop
per, or any other two metals of the paddles
and freezer, become the positive and mega
tive elements Of the battery. The ingenious
suggestion is made by the editor that of two
persons eating cream from the same freezer
one may be killed by the poison in the cream
and the other unharmed, by reason of the
fact that the stiff and pasty cream would not
permit thorough mixture and dissemination
Of the poison throughout the whole mass,
except by prolonged stirring and mixing
The conclusions of DR.. HulTs study are
thus summarized: L"Fisst, IL we desire the
smallest quantity of metallic poison in onr
ice cream and still keep in use our modern
freezer, we should see that the ingredients
are pure, that the mixture is frozen quickly
and the paddle at once removed. Second,
by acid mixtures, especially by the addition
of eggs cornstarch, etc. The addition of
salt for 1avoring purposes, as made by some
manufacturers, becomes criminal, and it is
grossly careless to allow any of the salt
water from the outside to get into the can
II, as result of fermentation, ice cream
should contain tyrotoxicon, then 1t must be
acid, and, on this account, will dissolve still
more zinc or copper"

PENNSYLVANIA AND ALABAMA.

While Alabama has outstripped Penn
sylvania in the volume of iron ore output,
in the vastly more important features, the
Keystone State Of course will continue to
excel In the finer arts of iron manufac-
ture Alabama is not yet in the race; and it
will take many years for herto advance to
the point where she can be considered a
competitor at ALL Our State has the i'm
mense advantage of having more skilled
artisans and established industries, and
thus, while the Southern sisteris is struggling
in the infancy of the art, Pennsylvania will
60 on and leave her far behind.
1t is easy to see how Alabama has gained
the lead in ore production. While her
natural advantages are great there is an
other advantage in having cheap labor,
whereas Pennsylvania pays the highest
price. Thus Southern pig iron can be pro-
duced and sold very much cheaper than
that of this State, and for rougher work
leaves us far behind. But when the finer
material is wanted Pennsylvania is looked
upon as the producer.
But there is a more important step in
this advancement of Alabama in the COM
mercial world. 1t places her alongside
Pennsylvania in interests, and thus links
the North and South in commercial ties
which are stronger than those of State
hood What is Alabama's interest is
Pennsylvania also; and these two States
will eventually stand together as solidly
in peace as did the States of the Southern
Confederacy in war. The South is making
rapid strides in manufacture, and Penn
sylvania will be the first to'congratulate
her new rival

A Wonder He Wasn't Hung.

Philadelphia Bulletin.l
John Quesada, of San Antonio, Tex, did a
stroke of business last week which brought
him large return with remarkable quickness.
On Tuesday night he walked into the office
of an ice factory and compelled the solitary
clerk in charge to yield up his worldly
wealth, amounting to $l7, at the point of a
pistol. On Saturday he was sentenced TO
prison for Is years. The moral seems to be
that on the railroad of Justice, as on some
other lines, the shortest way to prison is the
one that involves the least moneys

vance has been made regularly at this sea-

THE ideas on ice cream poisoning offered
by DR.. George S. Hull bring out points that
manufacturers of the luxury should study
and follow. If it is found that the cans now in
use are likely to poison the cream it may be
necessary to try enameled ware as remedy.
The large number of cases of poisoning from
this cause shows the necessity for reform,
and if dealers do not act the law should take
hand and compel the use of appliances
that will lessen the danger.
