About 7:30 o'clock last evening resi-
dents of the country adjacent to Moro
bay were startled by a report which
began like the low rumble of thunder
and ended with q somewhat louder
blast A few days ago a similar report
was heard. and a mud geyser appeared
in the small arm Of Moro bay, just op-
posite the townsite Of Ell Moro. This
geyser has formed small island,
which, for week, has been the Won
der Of the people of the country. and
has been visited by great many.
Following the report yesterday, a sec
end geyser sprung in existence about
200 yards distance from the first, and
a little further inland This last gey-

Smaller Manufacturer Anxious to
Reach an Agreement.
PITTSBURG.. May 20.-The smaller
manufacturers of steel rails and billets
are advocating the reorganization Of
billet and rail pools. They were not
satisfied with t1leI allotment, but the
disruption Of the pools, 1t is said,
brought no relief. All kinds Of rumors
have been in circulation within the
past few days about such a step, but
the large manufacturers say they have
no intention Of going into another pool
arrangement. at least not for the pres
ent The trade papers intimate thai
there is some talk Of reorganizing the
rail and billet pools, and also the wire
nail pool. and that when it Is effected
steel rails will be advanced to s28 and
billets to $40 ton. A prominent steel
manufacturer said today that the re-
ports emanated either from the brok-
ers. who have large stocks on hand
and want to unload, or else from the
smaller manufacturers, who would now
be satisfied with the pool allotment.

Pittsburg's Clever Woman Architect

s.
Pittsburg is very proud of her woman
architect Miss Elsie Mercur, who's
work is becoming well known. Mrs. Mer-
ours were the accepted plans for the fine
new buildings for female seminary at
Washington, Pa. 1t is peculiar COIN
cidence that, with young woman MAX
ing the plans for the buildings at the
new college, a woman was also AWARDED
the contract for their construction. She
is Mrs Clara Meade of Chicago. These
two bright women are working hand in
hand erecting this temple of learning
for women and building up monument
for themelves that, in the years to
come they will be able to point to with
the greatest pride.
1t is Mrs Meade who makes out the
bids from the plans that are furnished.
She also selects all the material, let's
all of the sub-contracts and spends a
great deal of her time in experimenting
the work.
Miss Mercur does not dress in the
costume always associated with the
ideal advanced woman, and her skirts
do not seem to interfere in the least
with her ascending high, narrow plat
forms, upon which immense foundation.
stones and piles of mortar stand She
is womanly in every way about her work
even to the leather bag which hangs
from her belt, and in which are the
