Pittsburg, to be filled in with the names
of the full Republican state ticket and
of the Republican county and district
nominees except one or two in each
county, where it is hoped that a Dem
ocratic candidate can be sneaked in
without attracting attention. These are
headed and will appear on the official
ballot as the Independent Republican

peared in Pittsburg was circulated in

that is scarcely the nest in which to

DISpOSING OF GARBAGE.
Some Rather Interesting Object Lesson.
i'll Municipal Cleanliness.

| From the Philadelphia Record.
| The system used in Buffalo and st.
| Louis is known as the WerZ system.
| The company who holds the contract
| for disposing of the garbage in St.
Louis has just completed an estab-
| lishment there at q cost of 81 900, 900.
| The cart which brings the material as
cends an inclined plane to the third
story of the receiving building, where
| 1t discharges its load into enormous
vertical cylinders, which are surrounded
| by steam jackets. Superheated steam
| is forced into the jackets and then
the water, which makes up about three
| quarters of the garbage, is eVaporated,
or, rather, distilled off, the Vapor being
condensed. The condensed water,
which is then perfectly harmless, is
allowed to run off through the sewers.
At a certain stage of the drying nap
tina is pumped into the cylinders and
is allowed to remain there for thirty
or forty hours. This dissolves all the
fats, oil and grease out of the mass.
After the proper time has elapsed the
| naptha, with its dissolved oil, is pump
ed out again into stills, where it is dis
titled by the steam heat. The volatile
naptha is allowed to run back from the
condenSers into the storage tanks,
while the fat, which is left in the stills
as a brown, oily mass, is drawn off
into barrels.
1t may be bleached so as to be made
perfectly white. After extracting
the grease what remains in the cylin-
ders is dried a little more and when
the last vestige of naptha has been
driven off it is removed through door
in the bottom. 1t is now a brown mass,
free from all unpleasant odor and APP
parently dry, although it still contains
. or per cent. of water. AS 1t has not
been heated sufficiently to cause de-
structive distillation of the solid por-
tions, it contains practically all the nj
trogen of the fresh garbage, and after
it has been closely ground and packed
in barrels or bags it commands ready
sale all over the country. 1t is called
st. Louis garbage tankage, and brings
in New York and Boston from 80 to $l2
a ton. The city of Buffalo uses the
same system, and delivers it's garbage
to a contractor, who is paid $35, 900 a
year for treating it.

STREET CAR TRAFFIC DELAYED

C. A. Rooms-Other South
Side Intelligence.

About $3.50 yesterday afternoon a trip
of ore cars leaving the blast furnace of
the Lackawanna Iron and Steel COM
pany, jumped the track on the Scranton
end of the Cedar avenue bridge and
seven on eight cars were piled one
above the other in heap. blocking up
traffic ON the South Side street car line.
1t was a fortunate circumstance that
no one was injured.
The locomotive that moves the ore
cars was attached to a trip and was on
its way to the dump along side the stone
reservoir. The grade is heavy and with
any load to push the engine has to take
good start and come around the curve
at high rate of speed.
Just as the forward car had struck
the curve the coupling pin that con-
nected it with the second car broke and
the trucks of the car left the track. The
momentum was so great that before the
engine could be stopped almost every
car Of the trip had been thrown off the
track and piled upon the roadway. 1t
delayed traffic for nearly three hours,
The damage to the cars was slight.
