DEATH OF A. H. STEPHENSON.

Andrew H. Stephenson, one of the
Oldest printers of this city, and Assist
ant Foreman on the Register for some
years, died yesterday evening at half-past
five o'clock, at his residence on North
Market street after a long illness, aged
forty-seven years. A wife and one child
survives him.
Mr.. Stephenson was a native of " els
burg but has worked on Wheeling news
papers for more than a quarter of cen
fury, first coming here about 1872, when
he was lad man on the old Evening
Standard. He worked on the Register,
Intelligencer. and in various job rooms
from time to time, and was always re-
liable. competent and popular personally.
His life for the past year has been one
of suffering and his death was not uneX-
pected Many friends will deplore the
loss of a good citizen and a good work
man, and in the Register office his de-
mise carries the minds of "old timers
back to the old days O. the early seven

A HEARING YESTERDAY.

The public hearing upon the applica-
ton of the Wheeling and Lake Erie
Railroad Company for permission to
extend its road outside the harbor line
of the Ohio river in this city, took place
yesterday in the Martins Ferry city
building. In point of attendance the
hearing WIS not much of a success.
Those present were Major of Engineers
C. P. Powell, of Pittsburg; Mayor BeX-
ley, of Cincinnati, and Capt. linn, of
Louisville, government representa-
tives; Capt John Dravb and Capt.
Lyle, of Pittsburg, representing coal
interests; Engineer Bissell, of the W. &
L. E. road; City Engineer A. L. White.
and Capt L. Inglebright and his attor-
ney, J. c.. Gray The officials went over
the route of the road in the forenoon
and met in the afternoon, the session
lasting but few minutes. No argu-
ments neither for nor against the ap-
plication of the company were advanc-
ed, there being nobody there to advance
them, consequently the hearing was
closed. 1t is probable, however that
the Railroad Company will be given a
temporary right to lay the track in
question. The section is about 1900
feet long.

City Engineer White reported to the
Committee on Real Estate last evening
that 1901 of the street signs had been
received, and that the work of putting
them up was in progress on the Island.
He thought fifty or one hundred more
signs might be needed, but the whole
number will come well within the
appropriation In answer to an enquiry.
Mr.. White said that some people had OBJ
jected to having the signs placed on their
houses, and that some explanations were
required at times. but in only two or
three instances had the privilege been
positively refused.

The "Duquesne Limited"-B. o. New

On the new schedule effective No
vember goth, solid train-the 'Du-

The big Riverside coke plant started
in operation yesterday morning burn
ing coke. The event has been antici-
pated for some time, but was delayed
recently on account of the elevator
machinery failing to work properly.
All necessary repairs were made and
the works started yesterday.
1t was necessary that every detail be
completed before work was commenced,
for after once being started the plant
cannot well close down or the fires
drawn on account of the damage that
would very likely be done to the ovens
by the expansion and contraction from
the heat and cooling. For this
reason the greatest care was
observed in the construction
and the arrangement of the plant. 1t
was built by the Semet, Solvan Co.,
of Syracuse, n. Y, who will also oper-
ate it for a period of at least year
before turning it over to the Riverside
Company. 1t is estimated by parties
who claim to know that the coke plant
entire cost in the neighborhood OF
half million dollars. The actual cost
and the plans have been kept secret,
and while in process of building none
but the engineers in charge OF the con-
struction saw the plans and specifica-
lions. 1t is about year and a half
since work on the plant was started.
Nearly all of the workmen and brick
layers employed on the contract were
brought here from Pennsylvania and
New York
The plant consists of sixty retort
coke ovens, divided by large elevator
and equipped with all the latest i'm
proved machinery designed for the
process of burning coke.
In addition. there is a large labora-
tory and a stock house, the latter con-
nected with the ovens by an inclined
trestle which was completed Sunday.
The plant was designed so that the
bi-products of the coke could be OBJ
tanned during the conversion of coal
into coke and utilized at profit. The
bi-product that will be secured at the
Riverside plant will consist of gas, tar
and ammonia, which will be used or
shipped as fast as produced. The capa-
city of each oven is five tons in "a
hours. making a total possible capacity
of three hundred tons of coke every
Gay.
The ovens were not all started yes
terday, but all will be burning coke in
a few days, as the work must be COM
menced gradually. About fifty men
will be employed about the new works.
The superintendent is Frank Lawrence,
of Syracuse, n. Y, and the night fore
man, John Burns, of the same place.
Both are workmen Of ability aud thor
oughly acquainted with the art OF max
ing coke in all it's branches. They
have already taken charge. 4 chemist
from Syracuse Is expected to arrive in
few days and take charge of the
laboratory.
All the coke produced will be used
at the Riverside plant. AS published
some time ago, the Riverside Company
purchased a large coal tract in Penn
sylvania. This is already being work
ed and will be sufficient to supply he
coke plant with fuel. Gas will be an
other product that will be obtained AMI
will be used to supply the whole OF
the big Riverside plant.

SPRING-LIKD WEATHER.

Yesterday was rather remarkable
day. for late in November In the early
morning the mercury went below the
freezing point at the steel bridge, with a
heavy frost and heavy fog. This fog
degenerated into a murky condition OF
the atmosphere which prevailed during
most of the day at one O'Clock in the
afternoon 1t being impossible to see more
than one or two squares. and Pittsburg-
ers in the city felt quite at home. The
thermometer went up to 81 degrees at
four o'clock, with warm breezes from the
south. and at nine O'Clock last night it
was IS degrees at Schnepfs Rain fol-
lowed by a cold wave is predicted for to-
day. but at a late hour last evening there
was not much prospect of either. although
the barometer was falling.

AN ACCIDENT AT BRIDGEPORT.

AN ACCIDENT AT BRIDGEPORT.
Yard engine No. Is, of the c., L. &
W., lies on the river bank, about two
hundred yards north of the steel
bridge, at Bridgeport, as the result of
an accident which occurred early yes
terday morning. The engine with sew
eral cars in tow, was being taken to
Martins Ferry, while engine No. 81,
in charge of Engineer Preston, was
following. He sent his engine forward
a little, and was almost upon the en-
CINE in the lead before he saw it. ow-
ing to the heavy fog prevailing. His
engine struck the other, raising the
tank from the rails. 1t careened to
one side and toppled over the bank,
taking the engine with it. Engineer
Ong was thrown from the engine cab
down the river bank. Fortunately he
escaped with few bruises and
sprained leg. Fireman Lockard jump
ed and ran down the bank, being none
the worse for the accident. except
thorough ducking he received by run
ming into the river.
