The premier replied that the government
had not authorized the carrying Of any

whatever diseordant notes might have
been struck yesterday, they only served to
emphasize the magnificent acciamatlon
which greeted the republic and its first
magistrate. Continuing. the premier re-

WRIT OF CERTIORARI
Granted in the Case of the Carnegie Steel
Company v. the Cambria Iron Company.

Granted In the Case OF the Carnegie steel
Company v. the Cambria Iron Company.
PITTSBURG, Pa, November 20
Chief Justice Fuller, of the Supreme
Court of the United States, this morn
ing granted the petition of the Car
negie Steel Company, limited, for a
writ of certiorari to the United States
Court of Appeals, in the celebrated and
long contested case against the Cam
bria Iron Company for infringement of
the patent rights of the Carnegie Com
pany to the process of steel making
which employs the metal mixer" and
which is in use in every large steel
manufacturing establishment in the
world
The announcement made November
7th, that the United States Supreme
Court had denied this petition of the
Carnegie Steel Company and thereby
affirmed decision of the United States
Court of Appeals multiplying the Car
negie Company's patent rights to this
important invention, was entirely pre-
mature and erroneous, and by the ac-
ton of the Supreme Court to-day, the
Carnegie Company practically gains an
other victory in this igation-having'
secured the first decision in its favor
in the United States Circuit Court for
the western district of Pennsylvania.
This leaves the case now to be finally
reviewed and adjudicated by the SUI
preme Court of the United States, and
upon its decision will depend the valid
ity of the patent covering the metal
mixer" issued to the late Captain VIM.
R. Jones, assignor to the Carnegie
Steel Company, limited, and probable
suits for damages against the steel
manufacturers of the world using the
invention.
In the proceeding before the United
States Supreme Court, Hon. Thomas b.
Reed, late Speaker of the House of Re-
representatives., is associated with Phil
ander c. Knox, counsel for the Carne-
gle Steel Company, and they will prose-
cute the litigation to its conclusion.
The issue is one of the most import
ant that ever originated in the western
Circuit Court, and the result will deter
mine. whether steel manufacturers can
use the metal mixer" without paying
royalties to the Carnegie Company.
The various steps in the case have
been watched closely by steel manu-
facturers since its inception in the Unit
ed States Circuit Court in 1895.

BURGLARS AT PARKERsBURG.

CHSSAdA " TIC ItSsASAtI
PARKERSBURG, w. Va, November 20
Burglars entered three places of busi-
ness here last night or early this morn
ing, blowing open the safes in the Cyclone
store and the office of the Parkersburg
Coal & Ice Company. They ransacked the
safe. destroying books and papers. and
getting one hundred and fifty dollars at
the Cyclone store and an unknown amount
in the office of the Coal & Ice Company
They also effected an entrance to the office
of the Novelty Mill Company, but were
evidently frightened away before getting
the safe open. There is no clue to the
robbers identity, but from the way in
which they did their work they are re-
garded as being professional cracksmen.
The police hope TO apprehend them before
they get far away.
