Evlcting the Tenants.

HOMESTEAD, PA, July 22.-Swlftly
on the heels OF the Governors depart
ure, the serving of eviction notices COM
menced on Shauty Hill, and so expedit-
iously was 1t conducted that all OF the
forty or fifty families subject to notice
were served before the Chief Executive
was ten miles on his journey to the
State Capitol.
AS rule, the notices were received
in grim silence aud without exhibition
OF feeling by the recipients. Chief Me
Brown, OF the Carnegie company's
police force with one assistant, made
the distribution I'm person.
Willingness to pay rent cut no figure,
a clause In the lease Of all the houses
giving the company peremptory right
OF possession on ten days notice. No dis
tressing scenes OF forcible removal were
TO be witnessed, the ten days margin
postponiug such occurrences, though
the talk OF some Of these served indi-
Gated that II they followed present i'm
pulses, the unpleasant spectacle was
certain TO be presented at the end OF
that period.

SIsrERsvILLE, w. Va, July 22.-Last
night about o'lock one of the large
oil tanks belonging to GillespY Bros,
on the Stocking lot, took fire, and up
to this evening the oil is still burning,
causing considerable loss to the com
pany.
The fire was caused from match
which lady stepped upon. As soon
as the match comDenced burning it at
once ignted the oil around a tank.
The flames spread with such rapidity,
that by the time assistance could be
rendered, the oil, derrick, machine
shop, with machinery and a large
frame building had been totally de-
stroyed. Not less than 500 men en-
ployed every possible effort to save the
buildings, but to no avail. They finally
got the fire under control, which was
fortunate thing, for not less than one
hundred yards distance was an oil tank
filed with oil. The full amount OF the
loss is unknown, but judging from what
has been destroyed, it will amount to
considerable sum.

Welding by electricity.

The Benardcs-H Howard electric welding
process is again discussed in English tech
nical journals, and results of the actual
working of the system are now made pub
lie. The Benardos apparatus was first
brought out in Russia about four years ago,
and differs essentially IN its form and uses
from the Thomson machines in general use
in this country, For two years the system
has been used at Birmingham, England in
the works of Lloyd & Lloyd, under the
charge of Mr.. Henry Howard, and it is now
pronounced commercially practical and eco
nomical. The principal consists in the con-
centration of heat upon a small area by
means of the electric arc.
With his work connected to one pole of
the dynamo, either by flexible lead or by
lying on an iron bench in communication,
with the mains, and with carbon Joined to
the other pole of the dynamo and carried
in uon-conducting handle, the smith can
apply the arc just as he sees fit, either con-
centrating it in spot the size of a quarter
dollar, or moving it over narrow line.
When the metal is sufficiently melted the
arc is shut off and few blows of the ham,
mer finish the weld. Messrs. Lloyd state
that their experience indicates that this
process costs only fourth of gas welding,
but they do not contemplate, it is said, the
for work that can be done in the latter. For
plain work, the smith can certainly excel in
speed and cost. 1t is at the point where the
ordinary smith has to confess himself
beaten, and the most skilled members of
the craft make numerous wasters, that the
electric process begins to make its advan-
tages felt,

WHY A DUEL Is OFF.
The Reasons Are Sufficient for Both Gen
eral Wheeler and MIR. Boutelle.

The Reasons Are Sufficient for Both Gen.
eral Wheeler and MIR. Boutelle.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-Ever since Car
tain Boutelle of Maine, poked fun at Gen.
eral Joseph Wheeler, of Alabama, last Fri
day in the debate over the number of COM
mittee clerks to be authorized, the air has
been thick with rumors of duel between
the two statesmen-or at least that chal-
lenge would be sent by the fiery Alabamian.
A New York paper yesterday had sensa-
tional and circumstantial story to that effect.
When General Wheeler was asked whether
he would send cartel to Captain Boutelle,
he simply replied:
81 will never challenge man who won t
fight"
He then went on to remark that he would,
however, have something to say on the floor
of the House by way of reply, but he an
nounced that he would not indulge in
abusive language, as Captain Boutelle had
done.
When Captain Boutelle was asked about
the matter he laughed and said:
ga duel between General Wheeler and
myself, with pistols and without conditions,
would not be fair. I am good deal bigger
physically than he is, and, of course, afford
just that much better mark to shoot at. If
We should meet would certainly insist, as
one of the terms of the meeting, that there
shall be chalked out on me In broad, dis
tinct lines the outline of General Wheeler's
figure, and if he hits me outside that out
line the hit is not to count That's the only
way things can be made equal"

CORK USED FOR PAVEMENT In LONDON

The Columbian Fair building for manu-
features and liberal arts is the largest expo
sition building ever erected. 1t is 1857 feet
long by 7S7 feet wide, and covers an area OF
301S acres. 1t is rectangular in form, its
central hall being surrounded by a nave and
two galleries. The feature of this building
is the great central hall. 1t has clear
space of 1880 feet by $50 feet. Its roof
rises to height of 2451l feet at the apex.
and the 3SO-foot space is covered by single
arched span, without a supporting column.
The height from the floor to the center of
the arch is 201 feet, clear, and the height of
the lantern above the arch is 441I feet.
Twenty-Five steel arches support the center
of the roof Each arch weighs 125 tons, and
more than 5000 tons of steel enter into the
construction of the hall. Extending around
the hall is gallery 20 feet from the floor
1t is 81 feet wide, 81 feet of this space over
hanging the floor of the hail.
The total length of this gallery is 1904
feet Beyond the gallery and extending
around the central hall. is nave, 10S feet
wide, and ia feet to the apex of the roof
The east and west halls of this nave are
1858 feet long, and the total length of the
nave, on a center line, is 4, 119 feet. Ex-
tending entirely around the nave, and to
the outside line of the building, is q gallery
20 feet from the floor, and 491E feet wide,
The two galleries are connected by %
bridges, so feet wide and 10S feet long. There
is a fraction less than II acres of skylight
in the roof, requiring Al carloads of glass.
There are in the floor and two galleries a
little more than Al acres of space. There
will enter into the construction Of the build
ing more than 1,600 carload of material. The

AN IMMIGRANT DECISION.
There's No Appeal From the Ruling of the
Treasury Department

Inere's NO appeal From the Ruling OF the
Treasury Department
WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 1S.-An opin-
ion of Importance in its construction Of the
immigration laws was rendered in the
United States Supreme Court to-day in the
case of Nishimura Ekin, appellant, versus
the United States. Nishimura Ekin is a
Japanese woman to whom entry into the
United States was refused by the immigra-
tion officers and Collector at San Francisco,
on the ground that she was likely to become
q public charge 1t was also alleged that
she was coming to the United States for im-
proper purposes. The ruling of the immi-
grafton officers was contested, and it was
sought to have the Federal,courts on an ap-
plication for writ of habeas corpus, review
the facts in the case.
The Government contended that the rul-
ing of the Treasury Department with refer
ence to entry of immigrants was final and
not revocable by the courts This conten-
tion of the Government the Supreme Court
to-day sustained. It held that the court
can only decide whether or not immigra-
tion officers were duly appointed and acted
in conformity with the directions of the
act, and that their conclusions as to whether
or not the facts with reference to any immi-
grant brought such immigrant within the
classes prohibited from entering the United
States-are renewable only by the Treasury
Department

Cinder Pig Has a Value,

The common class of crude iron known
in South Stafordshire as "cinder pig" is
made principally out of the Stag or cinder
from the pudding furnaces of the district,
which is supposed to contain an average of
something like 40 per cent of metal 1t is
not little singular that, until quite re-
Gently, this Stag or cinder was counted of
SO little value in the market, that the own
ers were not only willing to make a pres
ent of it to anyone who would take it away,
but in some cases they would even pay q
trife per load for its removal The result
is that enterprising pig iron makers have
been able to sell cinder pigs at prices which
although astonishingly low, have, consider
ing the nominal cost of raw materials
yielded very fair profit. Not little sur
prise is being manifested in the district
that the managers of some of the large mills
and forges should not have worked up this
Stag or cinder themselves on the spot, in
stead of giving it away to pig makers who
can realize profit from it after paying the
cost of conveyance-in some cases several
miles-to their own furnaces In any case,
one would think material containing 40
per cent of iron, could be SO manipulated as
to yield fair market price as raw material
instead of being, as now, designated as
merely so much waste and rubbish, free
gift to anybody who will take the trouble
to cart it away.

Where whetstones Come From.

A deposit made in a very early geological
period in the old river bed near Ratisbon.
Germany, furnishes the stone from which is
made the German razor hone, preferred BY
BARRIERS over all others for sharpening
razors. This deposit varied in color, being
white in some years and blue in others.
Both afterward hardened into stone, and the
white layers. being much the best, are the
material chosen, the blue stone being used
only for the base or back of the hone. For
sharpening other keen-edged tools. the
snow-white "novaculite'' or ALTERED schist"
of Arkansas is preferred to any other stone.
and is chiefly obtained from single hill in
that State, which supplies not only the
American market, but also a considerable
foreign demand.
The long spike or ''steel," as it is called.
which housekeepers use for sharpening
kitchen and carving knives, may be Of
either the dark gray Labrador stone" of
Cortland county, N. Y, or another gray
sandstone called "Hindustan stone" which
comes from Orange county, Ind. OF foreign
whetstones used in this country, one, the
Turkey oilstone, resembles the novaculite
of Arkansas; another, a fine grained schist
known as the .'Water of Ayr" which
comes from Scotland, is used by carpenters
and stonecutters for rubbing down the sur
face of other stones The grindstones used
in this country come mostly from Ohio and
Novia Scotia, the latter variety being pre-
ferred, especially for scythes. or foreign
grindstones the main supply is from Eng
land.

Thousands Of Golden ounces.

The South African Mining Journal, pub
lished at johannesburg, in the Transvaal,
SAYS the miners on the famous Witwaters-
rand expect to make fine exhibition at the
Worlds Fair. One of the ideas that is being
discussed is TO show 1000 ounces of gold,
which is the average monthly output. They
say this would be the largest exhibit of ma
tive gold ever made. 1t is also under con-
sideration to build large Kafir kraal of
rich gold-bearing rock, and to have 100
Kafirs or so, with several changes of head
dress, assegais, kerries, calabash pianos and
other things to give them popular interest.
The De Beers Diamond Mining Company is
arranging to make large exhibit.

A new material, says London paper, for
paving is now being introduced into Lon
don. 1t is composed of granulated cork and
bitumen pressed into blocks, which are laid
like bricks or wood paving. The special
advantage of the material lies in its elas-
ITCHY. When used for pavement it gives a
soft tread which is exceedingly pleasant, re-
calling the feel of a carpet. In roadways it
furnishes splendid foothold for horses,
and at the same time almost abolishes the
noise which is such an unpleasant feature of
to be seen in Liverpool street, E. c.; while
the outlet to Pickford's yard, in Gresham
street, is laid with this material. 1t yet re-
mains to be seen how it will bear the ordi-
nary traffic of London street, but there is
evidence to show that in Australia short
pieces of roadway have given good results.

shipbuildinr on the Clyde.


The returns Of shipbuilding on the Clyde
during the year 1891 show that while the
shipbuilding trade has been fairly brisk
throughout the year, the total value of the
output shows decrease. The, estimated
total value is returned at eS, 600, 900 as COM
pared with sc, ,4OO, 900 for the year 1890. The
cause of this large falling off in value is
attributed to the large increase in sailing
tonnage, fully 10000 TONS and the large de-
cline in steam tonnage, fully $1,000 tons;
and also to the lower value paid for ma
terial. Wages, however, have been about
as high as in the year 1890. War vessels
launched on the Clyde during the past year
present an aggregate tonnage OF 15,267,.
showing an increase of 6,016 tons, and of
these, four swift cruisers for the British
Government aggregated IL. 400 tons. There
was also cruiser for the Canadian Govern
ment, for the St. Lawrence; and another for
the Egyptian Government, for Customs pro-
tective purposes. The total number of yes
sells launched on the Clyde, of all kinds,
was 373, of 322,O1O tons.-hron and Steel
