ONE ON DIR. PRATT

llare is good one on the genial
DIR. Pratt, and he vouches for It
himself. 1t seems that for some
time in his professional visits to
various parts of the county, he has
met with and apparently b. en- fol-
lowed up by man who was a stran-
ger to he Doctor. The latter no.
tic, it several times, and finally it
see ned such coincidence TO run
up against the man everywhere he
went. that the Doctor tackled him
about it one day and asked him If
he was a detective or what bis bust
ness was, and told him that he had
done no crime that he knew of, but
that he had been following him
around and he would like to know
his business, anyhow. The man
told him his name. and that he was
a tombstone agent and travelling
around taking orders in that line.
Then the Doctor told him his bust
ness, and they both had hearty
laugh over it. 1t was a good joke
when you consider the coincidence
OF 1T, tombstone agent following
a physician around and taking ord
ers right along, too. The Doctor
enjoys the story immensely, and
tells it in great glee.

CHASING ROBBERS.
Tie Turner Gang Pursued into the
Mountains.

CoNNELLsvILLE, Pa, April A.
An exciting chase for a band of
robbers is on tonight in the noun
tains three miles east of here. John
Turner, the only member Of the
famous Cooley gang that escaped
the clutches OF the law, is leading
che bandits. Officer A. G. Ducan,
John Mcdowell, Il. b. Palmer and
a posse of citizens are in pursuit.
Two nights ago the drug store of
Mcdowell & Harry, at Dunbar, was
broken into and robbed of cash and
goods to the amount of $500. Last
night FIVE residences and business
houses were robbed in the same
manner. The locks were bored ont
of the doors and upward of $1,000
in goods and money carried away.
This morning the citizens were
thoroughly aroused and the posse
mentioned started out on a clue to
the robbers.
About A O'Clock this afternoon
they came upon the band at lone.
ly spot in the mountains back Of
Dunbar Furnace. A demand to
surrender was answered by fusil-
ade of bullets. 1t was answered in
kind by the posse, and at least 100
shots were exchanged. The robbers
kept lodging from tree to rock.
and finally worked their way back
to cave. They took shelter in
this and had such decided adyan.
tage that the posse fell back to
Dunbar for reinforcements. At G
O'Clock they started out again. The
robbers had In the meantime de-
cided that things were getting too
hot, and retreated from their cave.
The posse surprised them Just as
they were about to leave, and a sec
ond volley of shots were exchanged.
The pursuers divided their party
here, part following the bandits,
and the Others stayed to guard the
cave. 1t is filed with plumber and

quontly in this section for the past
three months. There are four men
in the fleeing band of robbers.

be desperate character, and had
often said that he would die like

All the forenoon the men have been

and other of the larger iron parts Of
the machinery. This is done by hollow
ing out holes in the black sand just the
shape and size of the object wanted.
The filling of the molds, known to
the workmen as the pouring" takes
place twice every day. The pig metal
or gray iron is melted in huge retort
at one side of the room. When it is as
liquid as water it is let out with much
suffering and fireworks through a lit
tie hole in the bottom into big crucibse
lined with fre-clay. When this is full
the Workmen push it along, it being
suspended by a running pulley to the
overhead railroad, and the holders
run out one after another to have their
long clippers filled. The larger mOlds
are filed by pouring directly from the
crucible. Blue flames and a thick white
smoke belch out of the mold as the
hot iron goes in. After the pouring
has gone forward for half an hour the
whole room is full Of smoke, through
which the dark figures of the men dash
back and forth like evil spirits, the
blue flames squirt from the molds and
the sparks rise in fountains from the
furnace mouth. After the castings
come forth the flour cores inside Of
them can be readily broken out.
Then each article goes to the tumb-
ling-room, where it is placed inside of
a cylinder resembling barrel and half
filled with pieces of iron. When the
cylinder revolves the rough edges are
worn from the casting, making it
smooth and bright. Defective pieces
always break in the tumblers. The
room in which the machines work is so
noisy with the constant rafting Of
iron in the cylinders that it suggests
