A New Manufacturing establishments.

The Trethewey Manufacturing Company,
of Pittsburg, has purchased from the East
Pfttsburg Improvement Company beauti-
ful tract of eight acres of land at Brinton,
Pa, on which they will at once proceed to
erect large and substantial buildings prior
to the removal OF their rapidly growing
plant to the Turtle Creek Valley. It is to be
ho1ed that q share of the remarkable sue
cess that has followed the removal of the
Westinghouse Air Brake Company to Will
merding will attend this later enterprise.
When it became general known that the
Trethewey Manufacturing Company has far
outgrown its present quarters and would be
forced to seek wider fields of usefulness
many flattering offers OF free land, with a
substantial bonus we're made by outlying
Dwns, but careful investigation of the
many advantages TO be secured by locating
at Brinton, in the way of freight facilities,
cheap fuel, pure and never-failing water
supply, and the like, turned the scale as
against the seeming, but often deceptive,
benefit of a free site. To Brinton, therefore,
the prize goes, and in this connection 1t is
not out of place to say that with the advan-
tages referred to it is>only question of a
short time until the entire valley at Brinton
will be filed with industrial establishments
of various kinds and Brad1ock and VIII
mertling bound together by a chain of man.

ROAD LEGISLATION.

Senator Critchfield Believes the Next Legis-
form Law for Country Highways-Con-
fident of Republican Success.
Senator A. B. Critchfeld, of Somerset,
Pa, was at the Seventh Avenue Hotel last
night on his way to Venango county, where
he will spend several days in making Re-
publican speeches The Senator is conf
dent of Republican success all over
the country. He says Harrison will
be reelected President because the policy
of the Republican party suits the people.
"And," the white haired old Senator went
on with significant smile, "the people al
ways have something to say when it comes
to electing county, State and national Off
GERS. We will elect our Congressman easily
up in our district, and can see no way by
which the Democrats can disturb our major
ity in the State.
Senator Critchfeld has always been an
ardent advocate of some law that will i'm
prove the condition of the roads of the
State. He is fearful, however, that the
next Legislature, like the last one, will
not even make an effort to enact uniform
road law. ''The Members and Senators
from the cities of the State have little or no
concern for the country roads," Senator
Critchfeld said. 'Tn many Of the rural
counties they have special laws which have
always prevented us from COM
blning on some law that
would improve the roads and at the same
time be satisfactory to every county in the
Commonwealth. For these reasons I have
now no hope for country road legislation at
the next session at least"

People Out Fifth Avenue Raise Their
Voices on the Market House Scheme.
A public meeting is to held in the Four
teenth ward next Thursday or Friday even
ing to formulate a protest to Councils
against the lease of the Fifth avenue mar
ket house for military purposes and to urge
that the proposition of the Central Board
of Education asking for the property as a
high school site be accepted. The property
owners and business men in that part of the
city are almost a unit in their opposition to
having the militia occupy the building.
When the lease was previously under con-
sideration de legation of the most promi-
nent of the property holders attended the
Finance Committee meeting in a body to
oppose it
Freese and Aufderheide, Mugele & Sors,
William Smith, James Martin, James
Boyle and others are taking an interest in
the present movement. A number of owners
who reside elsewhere have authorized their
agents to join in the opposition and to urge
upon Councils the necessity for allowing
the use of the property for a High School
There is general desire for the school ar
rangement and an equally general demand
that something be done at once. The peo-
pie out there say the old building is
nuisance, resort for loungers, loafers and
drunkards. Ladies walk on the opposite
side OF the street to avoid insult

A CALL FOR AID.

Mayor Gourley Asks Pittsburgers to Relieve
People ofSt Petersburg.
j. M. Guffey yesterday morning received
letter from St. Petersburg, Clarion coun-
ty, asking him to secure aid for the people
of that place who recently lost their all in
disastrous fire.
The letter was referred to Mayor Gourley,
who promptly issued call to The citizens
of Pittsburg. In his appeal the Mayor
asks that everybody who is able to
contribute something to the stricken
town. In conclusion Mayor Gourley says:
est Petersburg has in the past res ponded to
the call of others in the time Of need. Why
should not generous respond be made to
the appeal of her own people? They don't
ask for much. A little from each will re-
lieve their wants. Those desiring to con-
tribute will please send their remittances to
William R. Thompson, banker, Fourth
avenue and Wood street, this city. He has
kindly consented to act as treasurer of the
fund and will promptly forward the money
to St Petersburg"

DELAYED By THE STRIKE.

The Carnegie Company Tells the Naval
Department Why the Monterey's Plate
Contract Is Not Filled-No Date Can Be
Set for Furnishing the Covering of the
Vessels Turrets.
Cruiser No 6. which is being constructed
by the Union Iron Works, at San Fran
ciscco, has reached SO forward a state of
progress that the date of her launching has
been fixed for November 8, and it is in
tended by the Union Iron Works to make
the event notable one. Governor Mark
ham and staff will be invited .as will also all
the prominent military and naval officials
of the coast, SAYS an Associated Press dis
patch. Cruiser No. has not yet been
named by the Government, but instructions
are daily expected from Washington which
will settle the mooted question.
The cruiser will be the largest war ves-
sci vet launched by the Union Iron Works,
exceeding in size the Charleston or San
Francisco. Her total length will be 344
feet Her mean draught will be 81 feet and
her extreme breadth 50 feet Her depth
will be SO feet and her total displacement
$500 tons With double screws and triple
expansion engines, her speed is estimated
at 20A knots with forced draught With
natural draught, her engines will develop
$500 horsepower. Her armament will
consist OF four inch breech loading rifles
and ten inch guns of the same class, be-
sides u rapid firing rifles of less caliber,
and she will be equipped with six Howell
torpedo tubes.
The Carnegie works in Pennsylvania
have notified the Naval Department that
they cannot name the time of delivery of
the vertical plates to complete the turrets
OF the coast defense vessel Monterey, owing
to the continued effects of the Homestead
strike. Nothing is now lacking for the
completion of that vessel but these plates.
The gun turrets and carriages are all in
position, and the great 12-inch guns will
be mounted in a few days. Had there been
no delay in the delivery of the plates, the
Monterey could have been completed and
delivered to the Government on June IA,
as agreed on by the contractors.
The contractors are anxious to have the
Monterey accepted as it is, and let the tur-
rets be completed by the Government at
Mare Island. The dock trial of the engines
of the Monterey was recently had, with
very successful results. They are guaran-
teed to exhibit s, 400 horsepower on forced
draught, and on regular trial the contract
ors are to receive 500 for every horsepower
over that figure. The Monterey will have
a trial trip as soon as the big guns are
placed in the turrers

BIGELOW WANTS A SURVEY

Made of the Indian Creek Water Scheme
The Company Preparing to Break Into
Councils = An Ohio Pyle Mans Poor
Opinion of Indian Creek.
Half q dozen members of the Western
Water Company called on Chief Bigelow
yesterday afternoon to submit some draw
ings of their proposed scheme and to ask
bis assistance in getting their PROPOSE
tion properly launched in Councils. The
visitors received little hope that their
scheme would receive any support
at this time. Mr.. Bigelow thinks there is
plenty of time to consider the subject.
Pittsburg's water supply is in his estima-
ton, better than that Of 80 per cent of the
cities in the country and equal to that of
the other 10. While admitting that the
time is coming when the rivers will be
nothing but big sewers, he says it will
not be necessary to make a change for 15 or
20 years In the meantime he favors an in
vestigation Of any sensible project sug--
gested.
Before taking any stock in the Indian
creek scheme, he thinks the proper officers
Of the three cities should satisfy themselves
whether it would be feasible. He has COM
municated with them asking their CO.
OpeTdIiOu 10 nave b survey MADE, ana II
that scheme is out of the question, he wants
others looked into. As to the scheme of Sc
curing gravity flow from the headwaters
of the Monongahela in West Virginia, he
says that is no good, aud not worth a second
thought. The mountains of Pennsylvania,
he says, are the place to g9 for water
supply.
B. B. Cronin, of Ohio HEle, was in the
city yesterday. He has given the subject
of water supply considerable attention, and
deprecated the Indian creek scheme.
''There is not enough water to-day in In
dian creek to supply two of Pittsburg's
rolling mills for "a hours There are months
in the year when there is not enough water
in the Youghiogheny river between Nc
Keesport and West Newton to raise de-
cent fog. Those are facts For the past
six weeks the water has been lower than it
ever was before.
''The artesian we'll idea is being largely
discussed at present in McKeesport, and I
think it would be d good thing for the peo-
pie of Allegheny to consider. A shaft
could be sunk to the depth of 1000 feet in
the vicinity of West Newton at several
points along the river, where pure water
could be obtained in inexhaustible supply.
1t would cost great deal less to put the
artesian wells into operation than the In
dian creek scheme and great deal better
results would be secured"

An Expensive Fire on Smallman Street.

The ironclad stables at Park Bros. steal

QUESTIONABLE ENTERPRISE,
How Newsboy Disposed of Stock of Stuck
Extras.


Extras.
A newsboy stood at the corner of Fifth
avenue and Smithfeld street last evening.
People were hurrying by on their way to
the theaters. The boy had a bundle of
baseball extras under his arm. They
wouldn't sell and he hadn't money enough
to 60 to the show. His face was long and
sad. Suddenly three fire engines and all
the confusion which generally attends
them, came to the corner and stopped. A
small fire had been discovered in cellar on
Fifth avenue just above The iremen in q
few moments put out the blaze with chem
ical extinguisher.
Crowds of people gathered in the mean
time, but the boy had taken no interest in
the excitement Finally an inspiration
came. The boy started down Smithfeld
street on run.
'Extree! Extree! ALI bout the frer
He hadn't gone block until he sold four
papers. He continued on down the street.
Twenty minutes later the same boy occu-
pied front seat in one of the Fifth avenue
playhouse galleries.

known attorney, delivered a speech, which
was enthusiastically received.
At the headquarters of the Lawrenceville
