INDUSTRIAL TOPICS.
Points Picked Up About the Kills and
EnctnriaE.

Factories.
The general inquiry now, In the In
dustrial circles of this city and locality,
is what is going on In the Connellsville
coke regions. Most of the coke for the
furnaces and steel works Of this indus
trial field is secured from the Connells-
vile regions. 1t has been ten weeks now
since much coke has been received from
there, and this Is the only reason why
all the furnaces are idle. A REGISTER
reporter had 3 talk with we'll posted
man from the Conaellsville regions yes
terday. He said that not half OF the
coke furnaces were yet In operation.
The trouble was that when the strike
began, and the employees OF the ovens
Joined the strike OF the miners, the
management OF tho different plants at
once made arrangements to get new Ia
Dor. They succeeded in many Instances,
and brought colored men 10 the region
by the carload. These men In many
instances were unused TO the labor,
and did not make q success OF it. When
the strike was settled many OF the old
EMPLOYEES refused to go TO work with
the new men and that is the reason the
operations in those fields have been so
tardy since the settlement. Last week
OF the II, 900 ovens in that field but lit
tie more than 5000 were in operation,
and they could not begin TO supply the
demand from the Pittsburg region
alone. The coke for the mills Of Wheel
ing and vicinity is gotten principally
from the Frick ovens. There are II, 600
OF them and there was less than 300 OF
them working last week. 1t is natural
that they will give the preference TO the
PittsburG plants before any others
Few OF the smaller plants OF the Con-
nellsville region are In operation, but
there IS willingness on the part OF the
operators to start them this week, aud
many are TO go on In the morning. James
Wilson, from whom this information
was secured, stated that he thought
that by the latter part Of this week,
there would be plenty of coke arriving
ia Wheeling TO run all the furnaces and
steel works.
1t now looks like the Wheeling steel
works would be idle till after the 4th OF
July. What is most in need is metal,
and there is none Of it for sale on tho
market. The company will wait until
steel can be gotten from the Belmont
furnace, its own plant, and this will not
be very soon, from the present outlook.
Joseph Kearns, one of the best known
tube workers Of Benwood, played lit
tie surprise game on his friends. Some
time ago, he went to Newbourne, this
State, and he said it was for visit.
The surprise Of his many friends was
therefore great, when he came home a
few days ago with a handsome bride
from that locality. They have gone to
housekeeping in Benwood.

WHILE IN WAsHINeToN


Postmaster o'Kane Suggested Change
or Two and Talked TO President olevs-
land.
Postmaster NJ. J. O'Kane IS back
from Washington, where he went prln-
cipally to endeavor to induce the Post
Office Department 10 sanction certain
improvements at the Office in this city.
Mr.. O'Kane wants permission to change
the power used to run the cancelllng
machine. This machine is now run by
electricity derived from the street rail-
way lines, and at times the current is
so strong that it drives the canCelling
machine too fast, dangering the mail
matter and wearing out the apparatus.
Mr.. O'Kane suggested to Assistant
Postmaster General Jones, with whom
he had an interview, that the
cancelling machine could be run by
water power more satisfactorily,
and cheaply thar those by electricity,
and asked permission TO make the
change. Mr.. Jones said the trouble
was the funds of the department were
new very low, as is usual toward the
the close OF the fiscal year,
and he did not feel warranted in
authorizing any new expenditures
that could possibly be avoided
When the new appropriations become
available in July, ne would endeavor to
find the money needed TO make the
change Mr., O'Kane suggested. Mean
while he told Mr.. O'Kane TO go ahead
and ascertain about what the change
to water power would cost and submit
an estimate of it TO the department.
This the postmaster will do.
While in Washington the Postmaster,
accompanied by Congressman Pendle-
ton, called at the White House and had
a pleasant chat with the President, who
was looking very well after his oriet
