All arrangements were completed

term of service. The Franklins will
come first. then the Nay Augs, then
Liberty, Crystals, Neptune, Relief,
Niagara, Phinney. Eagle, Chemical,
Columbia. Excelsior. Hook and Lad

berland. 1t is expected that the Dun
more companies, the Columbias and
Nitchells. of Carbondale; the Crystals,

been engaged by the chief and several
OF the companies are expected to have
bands of their own.
Mayor James J. O'Neil, Chief r. f.
Moftit and the chairmen of the fire de-

AN IRON COMBINATION.
Manufacturers OF Wrought and Drawn
Tubes Organize TO Protect Prices.
SS0.OOO.OOO Represented.

New York. Sept. 2l.--Another combi-
nation is about to be formed. and this
is to consist of the wrought iron and
steel pipe manufacturers OF Pennsyl-
vania. Representatives of concerns
interested will meet tomorrow at the
Hotel Waldorf for that purpose and
if the preliminary arrangements a:e
carried through, the combination will
be on the same lines as the Besscmcr
Steel Producers association. which
was formed in this city last sprlng.
At the present there are thirty nina
plants in America manufacturing
wrought iron and steel pipe. cold lrawn
seamless tubing and steel riveted pipe.
1t is understood that the proposed
combination will include the wrought
iron and steel pipe plants in the coun-
try, to the number Of twenty-s-Nnn.
About twenty-one mills are in WUrking
condition and have capacity of about
1.OOO.oo0 tons annually. The capital III
vested is very large, ageregating ,a;y
nearly $5O.0O000O.
The corporations find that it is neces-
sary for a binding organization similar
to the steel billet combination, and it is
thought that one of this kind would
inspire better returns for the capital In
vested. Time and again agreements
that in business practice there IS 10
dependence TO be placed on the men
making them. The new scheme. which
will be offered tomorrow. is said to
differ from all others. and is guaran-
teed to hold the most refractory in
line. but at this claim some Of the
Pittsburg manufacturers shake their
heads. The manufacturers have no or
ganiZation now, but meet occasionally
to arrange the price lists. Every firm
makes it's own discounts. and. thore-
fore. there is no uniformity of prices.
Should an agreement be reached the
combination will include the following
concerns: Watson Tube company, Ke-
vance. Del; Cumberland Nail and
Iron company, BridGeton, n. j.: SYRIA

Ships and Dynamite.

The powerlessness of an ordinary
navy is apparent from recent expert
ments in explosives 1t is stated that
dynamite cartridges can be thrown in
such way that no warship could hold
out against them. While this is un-
doubtedly true. the question arises:
How can we get along without navy
of some sort? 1t is not to be supposed
that having guns of such tremendous
power will tend to demoralize naval
armament 1t will, however, make
this portion of our defenses less useful
and effective than heretofore. 1t will
probably do away with the enormous
ly heavy and unwieldly fronclad and
favor the introduction of faster and
lighter craft. Ships Of war will carry
smaller guns and lighter equipment
generally, aud depend more on quick
ness of movement and strategy than
on the great bulk and resistive power
of the ordinary monitor. 1t is great
pity that intelligent Christian lands
can not find some other way to settle
tle;r differences than by such terrific
slaughter.-N. Y. Ledger.
