Promptly at o'clock the big Pythian
parade started from Fifteenth and
Woodland avenues. While there was
no counting done close tally was kept
on the marchers, and it is estimated
that 12,OCO knights were In line. NO
fancy cvoiutions were permitted, but l5
was a straight-away walk for two
hours, the only changes made to vary
the monotony were changes from fours
to platoons. The parade occupied two
hours in passing Il given point, and at
the end of the march light rain began
falling, which quickly scattered those
wearing plumes
In point of numbers the parade was
the largest ever secn in the city, but
from spectacular standpoint, it was
very poor and the crowds began lcav-
ing the streets long before the end of
the line came in sight.
There were one or two casualties IN
the way of men getting exhausted, but
the police ambulances which followed
the line picked them up and carried
them to places where they could revive

The production of American sheet
iron or steel, made into articles and
ware, timed or terne coated, during
the year, as shown by the sworn state
ments of manufactures received ycster-
day was ASP. 22s pounds. AS these
manufactures constitute tin and ternc
plates within the meaning Of the law
it now seems probable that when fuil
returns of the same are received the
total production for the year, inclusive
of such manufactures, will not fall
much short of 90. 900, 900 pounds.
A careful estimate shows that the
quantity of black plate produced in the
United States, and which entered into
the manufacture of tin and ternc plates
during the year was, by quarters, as
follows: September 80, 1891, 9Ss,547;

other words, of the production

the total production, over 10 per cent
were made from American black plates
During the fiscal year five firms were
enoarcd in the manufacture Of TIN ant

twenty during the third and twenty
six during the fourth The probability
is that at least eight new names WI
