STEEL MILLS SLUT DOWN.

The intelligence that one mill of the
iron works in Albany County, N. Y. has
been obliged to shut down or reduce
wages fifteen per cent, is followed the
same day by the following despatch dated
December It'll, from Bethlehem, Pa. :
The steel rail mill of the Brthleht m Iron
Company was shut down this morning,
throwing 2S4 men, exclusive of leaders,
out of work. On Thursday the entire
Bessemer mill will be closed, throwing
$50 additional men into enforced idleness.
The mill will remain idle for long
period. The cause is lack of orders for
steel rails.
Nearly all the iron mills in the State
have closed sInoe the election.
The Carnegie CompaEy's Edgar Temp

and began to make billets.
The Pennsylvania Steel Company is

Death of the Pioneer in the Express
Business.

Following quickly the decease of the
venerable president of the Adams Ex-
press Company we note the death of
Capt. E. II. Virgil of Troy, n. Y, Sun.
day, one of that citys oldest and most
respected citizens. He was the pioneer
in the express business. He had been
sick only since Wednesday. Speaking
of the National Express, the Troy Press
says:
The opportunities of American life are
nowhere better illustrated than in the
career of Capt. Virgil. From the hum
BILE occupation of stage driver he rose to
the head of the great National Express
Company. The trials and hardships in
cident to the attainment of that posi-.
ton were many and severe, but pluck,
perseverance and determination over
came them.
Ebenezer II. Virgil was born at Eyre
mont, berkshire County, Mass, on Sep
temher 2G, 1903, and in consequence was
"a years old when he died. His father
was Abraham Virgil. When Ebenezer
was two years old the family moved
from Egremont to Fabius, Onondaga
County. Ebenezer received only little
education and when lie was 10 years old
procured employment as stage driver
in the employ of j. NJ. Sherwood of
Auburn.
What ultimately resulted in the foun-
dation of the National Express Company
was project that young Virgil con
ceived In lS4l. He devised the idea of
an express line between Albany and
Montreal. In December of that wear
Capt. Virgil and Samuel Jacobs began
the first trip on the new line. They
1pnUn m or 81,
this city and thence to Salem, CastletOn,
Vt, Burlington, st. Adams, st. Johns
and thence to Montreal. The trip was
failure and the young men lost $40. ia
cObs felt discouraged, but not so Capt.
Virgil. He insisted that the setback
was only temporary, and yielding to his
solicitation, Jacobs made a second trip.
the result was little more encO urag
ing, although the amount of express
matter carried was very small. On the
return trip Jacobs brought four pack
ages from Montreal to merchants in this
city. The headquarters of the concern
was removed to this city, and on June
3Oth, 1912, Capt Virgil made his first
trip over the route. The first agent APP
pointed on the route was George d.
Spencer at Castleton, vt. II. f. Rice
of Albany became associated with Capt.
Virgil in 1913, the firm being known as
Virgil & Rice. The business began to
prosper and the route was soon extended
to New York City. The express matter
was transported over the company's
route in this manner: From New York
to this city by steamboat, $50 miles !;
from Troy to Whitehall, 70 miles, by
way of the canal; from Whitehall to st.
Johns, by way of Lake Champlain aud
st. Johns river, l5j miles; from st.
Johns to La Prairie, by railroad, 10
miles; from La Prairie to Montreal, o
miles by steamboat. During the winter,
when navigation was closed, the entire
distance was covered by stage, requiring
six days to complete the Journey of
about 400 miles.

prosperity, and no stoppages marred the
continual running of the mills. During
President Cleveland's first administra-
ton the mill was idle for seventeen
weeks.
The enforced idleness of 1000 men
lends blue aspect to the town and bust
ness. The stop will not affect the Mer-
chant mill nor the ordnance works, where
gun and armor plate making will con-
tinue uninterrupted.
r. P. Linderman, the president of the
works, said to-day: 1--WE sincerely regret
the shut down at this time, but it was
impossible for us to get work, and there
was nothing to do but close. We will
make every effort to get orders and will
start up just as soon as we possibly can. "

There is a growing determination
among Democrats to get their heads to-
gether and make reduction in the pen
sion list in some way, and the suggestion
is made that commissioner may be APP
pointed who will have the nerve to make
the revision, himself appointing board
of experts who will go over the cases and
reverse the action by which many of them
have been granted. A measure will be
introduced in Congress te transfer the
Pension bureau to the War department,
with the alleged purpose of taking its
management out of politics.
