REVOLUTION IN IRON MAKING.
New Process of Making Malleable Iron In
vented by n Former Kansas Cityan.

vented by n Former Kansas Cityan.
SPRINGFIELD, o., March 5.-The dis
covery by George Harley, a foundry
man, of a process of making cheaply
malleable iron, which is by experts
pronounced of excellent quality. has
proven a success at tests made
in this city. Harley has been
experimenting for fifteen years.
The iron world has for years
sought in vain for some method
of making malleable iron without the
long and expensive process of anneal-
ing. Harley claims that his invention
will revolutionize iron making, and
this prediction is borne out by the opin-
ion of experts called in by capitalists
interested.
By Harley's process iron is made in
an endless furnace with a peculiar
method of controlling the admission
of air and by which a thoroughly mol
ten condition of iron is obtained.
1t is said that Bethlehem, Pa, iron
men have expressed a willingness to
pay SlO,OOO,O 900 for the invention on
proof that it is what it is represented
to be. Patents have been applied for
not only in the United States, but all
over Europe.

blacksmith. The deputys horse was
captured, the deputy mounted, and to-
gether they rode to Buster City. The
appearance of the deputy, handcuffed
as he was, created no end of excite
ment and inquiry.
That night one of the biggest posses
in the history of Buster county struck
out, but it found no trace of the man
who was wanted. To this day if you

REUBEN SIMPSON ON HAY.
His Objections to a Street and Water
Bill Overru1ed.

What Finance Commissioner Reuben
simpson does not NOW about hay, salt
hay, particularly, is not worth
At last nights meeting of the Board OF
Finance he had an opportunity to tell
all he knows about that product, and he
proited by it. Some weeks ago a pecul-
Tar little bill was sent to the Board Of
Finance for payment. 1t was for $46l.2o
TO John cannon. The amount of the
claim represented the cost of thirty and
three-fourth tons of hay at SIS per ton.
The bill was ~pigeonholed, and Mr.. Simp-
son constituted himself a self appointed
committee of one to find out from his
friend and side partner, James Warner,
the feed and hay merchant, how much
salt hay was worth. Fifteen dollars a
ton was too high, n Mr.. lannon's bill
was returned to the Street and Water
Commissioners for revision. They re-
passed it, and last night Commissioner
Cone appeared before the Finance Board
10 ask that the claim be ordered paid as
soon as possible.
Our Board bought his hay early last
summer said Mr.. Cone, Ito be prepared
to protect our water meters. I wish to
make it clear to the members of this
Board that in former years fifty tons
have been bought Dy the CITY LOT tHS

thirty-one tons carry us through, thus
saving the city the cost of nineteen tons
Of hay. Hay purchased in previous
years was of an Indifferent quality, and
gave Indifferent results. ] am credibly
Informed that the hay Mr.. Harmon fur
nished is the best ever bought by the city,
and by proper use the city has been
saved repairing any meters
"If Mr.. lannon's charge is a little
higher, it is because he was compelled
to go to the expense of putting the stacks
on platforms to prevent its destruction
by the unusually high tides"
Mr.. Simpson then got in his fine work
on salt hay, block hay, dry hay. He had
almost been brought up on hay he said.
He concluded by saying, there is more
room for ~crookedness in dealing in hay
than anything / KNOW"
Commissioner Cone was mad. Il don't
know anything about hay" he replied,
ssbut 1 hope that Mr.. Simpson is not lew
eIling a remark pertaining to crookedness
to this particular transaction
Mr.. Simpson hastily explained that he
meant no offense, and Mr.. Con departed.
Mr.. Cones statement that the hay was
all right and that nineteen tons less had
been bought than last year, satisfied the
Finance Commissioners hat everything
was all right, n Mr.. lannon's bill Is to
be paid. ~

Judge Gaynor, Anarchist.

r. is very painful to see a man of Judge
Gsaynor's position and standing ally hlm-
self with anarchy and unreason at a
time NhenIaw3and order and he puohc
welfare are at stake. His decision yes
terdayotn thes a~nandamus proceedings pe-
fore him wxasssa Swantosa assault upon the
rights of property and upon the good
faith which should exist between the
government and its citizens.
It is useless TO plead for the Judge that
he simply %expounded the law as he found
ii. He did not. He showed a temper
ami a bias shameful to the bench, ana
a one sidedness which one would unoer-
Stand in an advocate, but which Is
positively wicked in a Judge ms
.Honor,', so far from stating the law
only stated one phase of it, the portion
which seemed to favor the SIDE OF the
controversy with which he evidently
sympathized. He passed over in silence
all the legal principles defensive OF the
comnanies' position and he wasted the
opportunity, which it was his high puo-
lie duty to use, to buk riot and violence
and outrage.
Judge Gaynor's Justification of facts IN
his opinion was so shameless as TO de-
strov even the excuse of misunderstand-
ins of the situation. The judge, is not a
fool whatever he is. and nobody but a
fool or q deliberate anarchist could de-
scribe the Brooklyn companies as being
in a position to run their ears at this
time. The companies are offering-now-
liberal pay to motormen; but they cannot
improvise men nor yet compel men TO
accent their offers. Neither can they
run ears when miscreants cut their wires
and stop their motive power Judge Gay
nor's Interpretation of the duty of the
comuanies in respect to their franchises
would simply amount to this, that the
acceptance of any public grant placed the
persons holding it and their capital alb
s~olutely at the mercy of any gang of
blackmailing marauders who might
choose to assail them.
If Judge Gaynor wants help to set the
cars in motion again in Brooklyn, let him
1can the Grand Jury before him and

with the traffic from Master Workman
