prot.ctino Iron from corrosion.

A company organized several years ago
for the production of hydrogen by means
of passing superheated steam over red hot
iron discovered that in this process the
surface of the iron is affected in such a
way as to successfully resist rusting.
Experimenting further, they claim to have
found a method for protecting iron and
steel from atmospheric and chemical corro-

noticed two little tots of girls peeping
through the openings in the iron work at
the water and the many lights below. They
were bareheaded and their yellow curls
tossed in the wind. The little faces were

dust. as was their clothing. but they were
unmindfui of everything. Then the smaller

crossing and overheard the conversation.
They stopped aad asked the little ones if

They learned that the children's names
were Sara Williams and Mamie Jeremy.
The latter was an orphan, and lived with
her grandmother on Mcclure avenue, in
Woods Run. They mad heard the music of
the parace, and started out 20 follow it.
They had tcamped clear from Woods Run,
and when the bands all disappeared toward

VICTIM OF THE FLOOD.

Clemens Glaszner, of Sharpsburg, Found
Drowned in the Cellar of His Residence
-McKee's Rocks in a Bad Plight-Sev-
eral Heavy Losses Reported.
Clemens GlaszIer, aged 45 years, a we'll
known resident of Sharpsburg, was found
drowned in the cellar of his own home on
Main street yesterday morning. His death
was directly due to the late food. On last
Tuesday morning he was engaged about the
house removing household furniture out of
the way Of the rising waters, his wife being
similarly engaged in another part of the
house. She went away leaving him in the
kitchen, and when she returned he was not
to be seen. She thought nothing Of his alb
not dream of what had happened.
Yesterday morning Joseph Heinz and
Henry Young were assisting in straighten-
ing up the house. The cellar was full of
water and they were pulling out floating
barrels and boxes when they struck an
object under the water at the foot of the
stairs which aroused their curiosity. They
dragged it to the surface with poles and
were Mortified 10 see the missing mans
body. The Coroner was notified. An in
quest was held at j. j. Keil's drugstore,
and a verdict of accidental drowning was
rendered. The deceased leaves wife and
several children.

are energetically scrubbing out cellars and
the first stories of their houses, and some are
still pumping out their cellars, while others
lounge around dejectedly, with their hands
in their pockets, apparently wondering
whether it is worth while to clean up.
J. & H. Schmid, feed dealers, have
about 81 200 worth OF bran and baled hay
soaked. Thev calculate that one-third Of
it can be saved, so their direct loss is about
$500. The soaked bran makes the store
smell like large yeast factory. The bran
is being hauled out to the country, to be
used as fertilizer, and from Its yeasty smell
one would suppose that it would make
vegetation rise. $685.

THE WOMAN GOT AWAY.

Mrs. Ralph, Although Heavily Handicapped,
Outfoots Two Humane Agents-An Ex-
citing Chase : Chicken Fighters to Be
Punished-A Fathers Complaint Against
His Sons.
Humane Agents O'Brien and Bergman
had quite an exciting chase after woman
yesterday whom they did not catch. The
woman in question is Mrs. Mary Ralph,
who lives at No. 76 Crawford street. Re-
Gently the Humane Society had her up in
court for neglecting her two children, one a
girl of years and the other q boy Of
years. Mrs. Ralph's principal fault is said
to be drunkenness. On this account the
Humane Society wanted 10 get possession of
the children. However, the case in court
was'decided in favor of Mrs. Ralph on con-
dition that should she be brought up for
trial again the children would be taken
from her and she would be sentenced to
Jail.
Yesterday Agent O'Brien was informed
that Mrs. Ralph was on another spree. The
agents went to her residence with the inten-
tion of arresting her. Mrs. Ralph, how
ever. was little too quick for them. She
saw them approaching the house, and pick

across vacant lot with the agents in pur-
suit. The sight of a woman running with a
child under each arm and two men after
her gathered a large crowd of people. The
fun did not last long as the woman found
refuge in 4 neighbor's house and the agents
had to go back home without their pris-
oner.
Agent O'Brien SAYS he was misinformed
once, at least he does not think the woman
was drunk. He expected to arrest her
while intoxicated, so that strong case
conle be made against her.
Agent O'Brien yesterday made II infor-
nations before Alderman Burns against as
many different persons, who are said to have
been at chicken fight at McKee's Rocks
on the night of February II. Warrants
have been issued for their arrest.

at 81 Roberts street, yesterday visited the
Humane Society's Office and said he wanted
some aid in making his two sons. Thomas
and Peter Cream, support him, as he is un-
able to support himself. His case will be
Investigated by Agent O'Brien at once.

A FIGHT IN PROGRESS

At the Sligo Mills Between James M. Bailey
and the Men on Account of q Broken
Shaft-May End In a General Turnout
To-Day.
A broken shaft at the Sligo Rolling Mills
is the cause of much angry feeling just at
this juncture existing between, not alone
the employees, but the Amalgamated- Asso-
ciatIon and the company, as represented by
james NJ. Bailey.
James NJ. Bailey, when asked last night
through the telephone for some information
regarding the casus belli abruptly cut off
the circuit so that the following must be ac-
cepted as the correctly reported circum-
stances of the case. 1t appears that some
time ago n ball was sent from scrap fur
mace to The squeezer, and that during the re-
duction of the ball by the squeezer. shaft
connected with 1t broke. The company,
claiming that the ball was diversified, de-
manded satisfaction from the heater, who
refused to reimburse the company for tie
value of the shalt on the ground that the
claim was unjust, as we'll as unprecedented,
and that the ball was of the customary size
The Amalgamated officials and Mr.. James
NJ. Bailey had conference on Saturday and
another yesterday, and both it is said were
fruitless. Mr.. Bailey is reported to have
said that he didn't care whether the works
stopped or not, that he wouldn't recede from
the position taken. The men interested are
lust as determined to maintain their grounds,
and it is expected that strike in vindi-
cation of the usage in such cases will be
inaugurated to-day.
The matter involves the practice in every
mill in the country. for if it were once estab-
lished that the men engaged in working any
norton of a plant were responsible for all
breakage, it would involve the payment of
thousands of dollars annually from the
pockets of the workers. Such breakages
now come under the wear and tear, and as
such are provided for in calculating the
cost of the product.
The men interested won't tell about the
affair, and the officials are equally close
mouthed. The occurrence is Unprecedented,
as it is the first time that an employer has
sought TO make his men pay for breakages
in the course of manufacture.

but failed. She took him to Hugh Fosters
residence, at 516 Carson street, where it was
seen he was choking to death.

Doctors McCord aud Burleigh arrived Just
as the boy had breathed his last. 1t was
some time before the gum could be gotten

the officials" he said, twas that we de-
manded to be treated as men. That's the
long and short of it. You haven't any idea
of the petty annoyances and knockings
about that railroaders receive at the hands
of dispatchers, clerks and others vested with
little authority. Whv, we have to go down
ON our knees to some of them, and the treat
ment we get from them generally is little
better than that accorded dog. We stood
this sort of thing long enough, and iually
went to Mr.. Wood with complaints. He
laughed at us and said we must be mis-
taken; that such thing was impossible.
But we told him that it was so, and that
it should stop right there, or else We would,
and then he thought we meant something,
and concluded to talk to his officials He
did, and to some purpose. understand, and
that is the reason for the present confer
ence."
If the treatment accorded the employees of
the company Is on par with that meted
out to representatives of the press when they
call at the offices of the company for infor-
nation, the men must have cause for COM
plaint. When reporters called yesterday
afternoon at Mr.. Woods office they were
treated as rudely and discourteously by
clerk-who apparently thought he had a
lien on the company's property-as anyone
could have been.

Another Man Who Kept Money in His
House Is Left Penniless.
A farmer named John Reineman, living at
Pine Creek, was robbed of between 5000 and
500 Sunday morning. He reported his loss
at the Allegheny Mayors Office yesterday.
Reineman is u bachelor and lives with
married sister and his brother-ln-Iaw. He
does not believe in savings banks and al
ways keeps more or less money about his
house. That fact seems to be known in the
vicinity where he lives, and it is thought
probable the thief or thieves are residents of
the locality.
The robbery was discovered about noon on
Sunday. Reineman, his sister and her hus-
band had gone to church, and on their re-
turn found window on the first floor open.
They subsequently, found bureau drawer
open in Reinemau's bedroom, where he
kept his money, and the cash was gone.
Several bits OF jewelry about the house and
considerable sIverware was lett undis-
turbed. The money was the savings of sew
