Firm to Suspend.
PITTsBURG, April O..-The Sterling
Steel company of McKeesport, manu-.
facturers of the Wheeler Sterling
armor piercing projectiles. is in pecu-
liar financial difficulties. For several
months past they have been working
on large order of projectiles for the
United States government which has
cost them hundreds of thousands of
dollars, for which they nave received
no money in return. They have con-
sequently been compelled to pass their
regular pay day and suspend opera
tions. The credit of the company is
first class, however, and it is expected
the plant will resume in few days.
The Cause of ths Trouble.
An official of the company says:
"The government appropriation in.
tended to pay US has been used for an
other purpose. We expected to get
half of the appropriation and the Car.
penter Projectile company the other
half, but bill for one of the big steel
companies was put through which
practically wiped it out. The new ap-
preparations will not be available until
congress adjourns. We have delivered
to the government over $500, 900 worth
of projectiles for which we have ap.
proved bills, but could not distribute
them so as to realize any money on
them.

VICTOR OCHOA INSANE.
A Noted Character Now in an Asylum
-(sOne Daft ON Aerial Navigation.

Victor L. Ochoa, formerly we'll known
in these parts, and who was sent to the
Kings county penitentiary for violation
of the neutrality laws of this country,
has invented a swift aerial warship. A
Washington dispatch says:
"President Cleveland and Secretary
Hoke Smith have received an interesting
communication from Victor l.. Ochoa, a
federal convict in the Kings county, N. Y,
penitentiary. He has an aerial machine
which he wishes to dispose of, and to
give this government the first chance to
secure it. His letter to the president did
not reach that official, but was referred
to the commissioner of patents, who did
not pass favorably upon it because it's
practicability had never been proved.
Ochoa stated that, as he is serving a
three years term in the penitentiary, he
has no opportunity of testing his ma
chine, but if given chance he will show
that it will work successfully, in which
event, he thinks, he should be given his
liberty.
"He makes known his idea at this
time, because of the belligerent attitude
of the United States toward Great Brit
ain. He wants the attention of congress
called to his invention, and states that it
will do away with battleships. He as
serts that his machine will 60 from 100 to
