ACTION OVER THE RIVER

The wild-eyed reports in circulation
for several days past moved some en-
ergetic. but somewhat panic stricken
souls in the over-the-river towns to ac-
ton Yesterday, and in response TO pres
sure from a few business men and the
appeals of the scarey local papers,
meetings 10 institute quarantine
against Wheeling were held in both
Bellaire and Martins Ferry last even
ing. In Bellaire a temporary quaran-
tine against this city was declared, and
the health authorities then adjourned
until this evening, when the question OF
whether or not it shall be permanent
will be considered.
In Martins Ferry there was a mass
meeting made up of citizens, members
of Council and the City Health Board.
The meeting resolved that there should
be a quarantine, and after its adjourn
ment the Health Board met and de-
clared a rigid quarantine against
Wheeling. to commence at six o'clock
this morning. A resolution was also
passed quarantining in like manner
against Bridgeport unless that town
uuarantined against Wheeling.
Bridgeport took no action last night,
but the health authorities over there
will probably meet to-day.
Martins Ferry has a good deal OF
smallpox of its own. For time there
were more cases on the Ohio side Of the
river than in this city, but no one here
had any idea that we ought to quaran-
tine against our neighbOrs. The Mar
tins Ferry Times and the Bellaire In
dependent in their issues of last night
fairly bristled with nOnsensical talk
about the danger of having any trans
actions with Wheeling, while over here
there are about thirty thousand people
who have never even seen a yellow
flag. and who wouldn't know there was
a case of smallpox within a thousand
miles if it was not for the publication
of the news of the day.

of the Thomas-Gilchrist process in this
country has progressed slowly.
In addition to the phosphorus which
renders it worthless for ordinary meth
DDS of making steel Southern pig iron
usually contains such a percentage Of
silicon as to render it unfit for the basic
process for which it would otherwise
be suitable. In recent years Southern
manufacturers have made diligent ef-
forts to produce pig iron low enough
in silicon and high enough in phos-
phorus to meet the requirements Of the
basic open hearth process for which the
material has been most needed. In an
experimental way they have succeeded
in reaching the desired results, and the
recent large purchase by the Carnegies
and the Illinois Steel Company seems
to indicate that Alabama can now furn-
fsh pig iron for steel making as well as
for the rolling mill and foundry trade,
which has long been enjoyed by the
manufacturers in that State.
The ability of Alabama irOnmasters
to make pig iron OF grades suitable for
the manufacture of steel means q great
enlargement Of the industrial POSSIBLE
tiles of that State, through larger
trade in law material with Northern
consumers ard in the establishment OF
steel works ia The south. Hitherto the
main obstacle 10 a symmetrical devel-
opment Of the IRON resources of the
South has been he practical impossi-
biity of making steel from Sou'heIr
material; but recent progress in the
production OF pig iron in Alabama dem
onsrates the practicabilty Of creating
a steel industry in that section Of the
country that shall be as important as
the great pig iron interests which have
grown up in the South in the past fiji
teen years.

THE SMALLPOX SCARE.

II requires very little basis to start
a rumor which in a very little while
viii grow to alarming proportions with,
out any assistance from the truth. It
is so with regard to the smallpox ru>
mors that have been floating about
Wheeling for the past few days. It is
the height of folly for anyone to be-
come alarmed over the situation, for
the disease is not epidemic here, nor
is it al all likely to become so, since
Council has awakened to a proper
sense Of its duty in the matter and ap-
pointed a health officer who viii be
given the support necessary to stamp
out the disease.
The comparatively few cases there
are in Wheeling would not be consid-
cred worthy Of special notice in any Of
the larger cities. which are rarely il
ever without more or less smallpox.
Wheeling has for a long time been en-
tirely free from the disease. which in
the presence instance gained entrance
here from Cincinnati. And the disease
would have been stamped out entirely
months ago had the situation been
managed at all intelligently, or by
competent men.
Now, with the health authorities
thoroughly awakened to their duty and
with a health officer whom they viii
support, there is no longer any need
whatever for fear of a serious spread
of the disease. 1t is practically con-
fined to one section Of the city, is be,
ing thoroughly and intelligently
watched. and there is no danger that
it viii get beyond control
If every one will take care of himself,
obey the laws of health. and. above all,
stop spreading every alarming rumor
one may hear and give the health Off
Ger every possible assistance and sup
port in his work. the disease will be
stamped out OF the city in no time at
all.

The Tennessee Coal and Iron Com
panv's sale Of $4,000 tons OF pig iron to
che Csnegies and the booking of an
other order by the same company for
10000 tons for the Illinois Steel Com
pauv. are events OF extraordinary sig
n,fcance in the iron world For more
than five years Southern iron has been
sold in the North and West in compeJi-
-ion With iron made i'm PENNSYLVANIA
and other States. but these are the first
large sales Of Southern pig iron Of
grade suitable for the manufacture oil
steel and to be used for that particular
purpose.
Pig iron that is made in the South, it
is pointed out. is chiefly Of the grades
suitable for the manufacture Of
wrought iron by the process OF pud-
ding and rolling. or for making cast
Dgs of various kinds. Practically
none of che Southern pig iron hitherto
made has been suitable for the manu-
fac-rre of steel. either by the Besse-
mere or the open hearth processes,
which consume nearly two-thirds of all
the pig iron produced i'm this country.
Although possessing unlimited sup
plies Of iron ore that can be mined at
nominal cost. the South has not yet
DEVELOPED and deposits OF ore from
which could be made pig iron of Besse-
mer Grade. For Jhe methods now IN
use in this country 1t IS necessary TO
have pig iron that is free from phos-
phorus. an element that is fatal TO the
or3lirv OF the steel although within
certain limits it is not objectionable in
wrought iron or in castings. As most
oftbe Southern ores contain phosphorus
the pie iron made from them is unfit
for steel making. What are known as
the basic or ThOmas-Gilchrist moditi-
cations of the Bessemer and open
hearth processes Of steel making re-
quire pig iron containing so high a
percentage Of phosphorus as 70 render
the material valueless for other pur-
poses: but the basic methods entirely
eliminate the Objectionable element
and produce as good a quality OF steel
"a can De made by the ordinary means.
The basic processes have been utilized
to great extent in England and in Ger
many. but owing 10 the control OF the
American patents 10y a small combin-
alton of steel manufacturers and also
because of the existence OF abundant
supplies Of low phosphorus ores in the
Lake Superior region. the development

THE STATE SCHOOL BOOK BOARD.

THE STATE SCHOOL BOOK BOARD.
Gov. MacCOrkle has appointed the
State School Book Board. as required
by the new school book law in case any
Of the firms furnishing text books to
the schools shall refuse TO contract at
the price specified by the law. the
Board to contract with other publish

The governor has appointed three ex-
ceuent citizens on the new Board.
namely, Ex-Governor A. B. Fleming.
Prof T. S. Hodges. principal of Mar
shall College, and Prof F. H. Crago.
OF rhis city. A better man or one more
trustworthy and in every way fit for
the important position than ex-Gov-
ernor Fleming could not have been Sc
lected InCorruptible, shrewd and
thoroughly conversant with the law
and the duties required of him, he is
the best man for the place. Prof.
Hodges will bring to the Board thor
ough technical knowledge of the sub
ject of text books and is in every way
competent TO administer the law TO the
best advantage of the State and its
schools. The same may be said Of the
third member, Prof. Crago, who has
had ample experience OF the subject.
The interests of the State and its
schools Will be safe in the hands of the
State School Book Board as appointed
by GOV. MacCorkle. II is above crit
icism. and if there is anything in the
new law of value the Board may be de
pended upon to bring ii out and make
the most of it.

The smallpox situation was very
much better yesterday, and in the Opin-
ion of the health authorities the rush
Of new cases is over.
There was much popular excitement
during the day, both in the city and in
neighboring towns, and almost without
exception the many rumors in circu-
lation were entirely unwarranted. Men
would insist upon the streets that there
were so many cases, or that so-and-so
had the disease, when as a matter OF
fact there was not single new case
reported in the city until eight o'clock
last night, and the solitary report made
was not pronounced smallpox for a
certainey. There was one new case
east Of the city, traceable to the out
break on the South Side. but it does
not come within the jurisdiction Of the
city authorities.
The case reported last night was that
Of Henry Kitson, in the rear OF No. 1875
Sixteenth street The Health Officer
was not absolutely sure as to the DIS
ease last night, but he took all possible
precautions until the truth could be
known.
The case outside the city is in Pleas
ant Valley. the patient being John
Haberstick, who was on the South Side
Saturday.
The Health Committee met last night
at the City Hall, and as precaution-
ary measure ordered the library and all
the public and private schools closed
until October 1st, or until further or
ders, with the single exception OF the
Linsly Institute. Principal Birch, OF
that school. was called before the com
mittee. and after the situation was eX-
planned TO him he was told that the
Institute would be allowed to go on up
on the strict condition that all pupils
who have not been successfully vaccin-
ated within six months should be re
vaccinated at once. Mr. Birch prompt
| " agreed TO this and it was put in
writing.
The Market Committee met yesterday
afternoon and ordered the Centre mar
ket closed Last night the Health Com
miJtee ordered the Second ward mar
ket closed also until further orders.
The subjects Of the churches, street
cars. etc, were discussed, but no deci-
s.ve action was taken, further than to
recommend that there should be no pub
lie assemblages Of people for the pres

AT last evenings session of the City

Il am strongly in favor of precau-

the schools is one of these If the
weather shrould turn cold heavy cloth

Unpacked and worn by the children to
school, and this would possibly in
crease the danger. The children wiz
loose nothing important by staying
away, say for a month, and we will be
on the safe side. | would recommend
| that all congregations of people be
broken up for the present. Acting up
on. that / called the Market Committee
together to-day and they ordered the
Centre market closed. Probably we
ought TO do the same thing with the
Second ward market, to prevent South
Side people going up there. The coun,
| try people can peddle their goods about
! the city, and no one will be greatly in,
convenienced. I am inclined to think
that the cases on the South Side are
largely due to the market over there.
There are two points of danger over
there. One is the Rafferty, case and the
other the Buch case. Rafferty, was
treated several days for cholera NOR

II have seen enough during the past
two days to convince me that unless
practically universal vaccination be re-
sorted to at once. the business of the
city will be seriously affected. The
sources of infection have been so many

/ cessary. Here are few examples l
have met with: Mr.. Buch was at

put a man on guard at once through

no harm will have been done. In con-
nection with this subject, one OF the
greatest evils arises in this way: A
physician goes to a house, looks at the
