Description Of the New Rolling Mill Adde,
to the Krupp Works.

Description Of the New Rolling Mill Added
to the Krupp Works.
Recently new rolling mill has been
added to the Krupp works in the Ohio Val
ley which, it is stated, is not surpassed by
any in the world. 1t is for rolling armor
plates, and turns out the heaviest plates of
this descrip tion that can possibly be re-
quired; that is, those of about 28-inch thick
ness and nearly four yards wide. Some
idea of the aim ensions OF this machine may
be obtained from the statement that each
pair of crucible rollers, when in the rough
state, weighed 1000 pounds; and the en-
tire rolling mill, with its reversing engine,
the large furnaces, the cranes that can move
300, 900 pounds, its bending presses, ETC.,
form of themselves almost q complete
plant.
Immense shears, with long, steel blades,
cut through the plates as easily as ordinary
shears cut through paper, and extremely
thin plates are also produced. Automatic
tables are employed tor raising and lower
ing the plates in their passage from one set
of rollers to the other, and automatic de-
vices for guiding them as they pass be-
tween the rollers or are taken from them.
So automatic is this process that, without
the aid of tongs or levers, the glowing
blocks move back and forth between the
rollers,

bitter struggle ever known in a Nebraska

Success marks the operation of the plate
department in the works of Spang, Chalfant
& Co. at Etna- All the furnaces are run
ming full blast and the requisite number of
heats are being made. The members of the

take kindly to the change in af-
fairs. When they learned that

sued a call for meeting. This call reads
as follows: "Therc will be mass meeting
in Odd Fellows Hall on Thursday after.

Etna are invited to attend. All working
men come By order OF the committee.
A representative of THE DISPATCH went
to Etna about 2 o'clock, the time set tor
the gathering, and met several members of
the Amalgamated Association, who said
that the meeting was open to anyone, but
fore the meeting commenced several out
siders were told to retire by Thomas Byers,
one of the Mill Committee. A visit to the
Office of Spang, Chalfant & Co. revealed that
the plate mill crew had just finished their
last heat. The iron turned out is as good as
that made before the shut down.
Manager Chalfant was seen coming to-
ward the mill, and when spoken to said:
'You have been through the mill. We do
not keep anyone out who wishes to 60 in.
The gates are open, and we have
had no trouble. The men are better
satisfied now than they were before,
and after resuming operations Tuesday
over 30 of Dur old employees, and as many
strangers, asked for employment. They
were informed that at present there was no
work for them" The entire pudding de-
partment is repaired and ready to start at
any time, though no attempt has been made
to put it in operation.
One of the Amalgamated men was seen
later in the evening. In speaking of the
afternoon meeting he said: 1--WE had q good
meeting. President-elect Garland and
Vice President Sheehan, of the Amalga-
mated Association, were present and
made stirring addresses to the men, about
200 of whom were in the hall. They
cautioned the men to stand together and
said they would undoubtedly win. Secre-
tary-elect Kilgallon was also present, and
warned the men not to use violence in
getting the workers now at work to. cease
operations A vote was taken on the arbi-
tration question and that measure met with
unanimous defeat"

BAR HARBoR, Aug. 4.-[Special ]-Of
the talk of Mr.. Blaine's taking the stump
comparatively little is heard here, for at
this season Bar Harbor deals but little in
politics Mr.. Blaine is living in the ut
most seclusion at Stanwood, seeing few but
his most intimate friends. That his mind
is actively at work, however, is shown BY
tie fact that he is in conference with states
men and politicians It is said that one of
the members of Mr.. Harrison's Cabinet
called upon Mr. Blaine last week.
Mr. Blaine passed last Monday in Els
worth, visiting Senator Hale, who is to take
the stump very soon. Joseph H. Manley,
of Augusta, came up to Ellsworth Tuesday
night, which he spent at Senator Hale's,
and then came on to Bar Harbor and spent
an hour with Mr. Blaine. Both Mr. Blaine
and Mr.. Manley decline to speak for publi-
cation, at present at least. Mr.. Manley,
who is to return here soon, viii have some
thing to tell when the plans are perfected.
Mr. Blaine, it is positively asserted, Will
take the stump during the campaign, and
do all he can for the success of hissparty.
1t is also asserted that Vice President Nor
