TIN-PLATE TESTIMONY.
Nathan a. Taylor Before the Indus
trial Commission.

Nathan A. Taylor Before the Indus
trial Commission.
The United States Industrial Commission
yesterday heard the testimony of Nathan
A. Taylor, of Philadelphia. of the y. &
G. Taylor Company, manufacturers of tin
plate. Mr. Taylor said his firm was a
partnership, and not corporation. 1t had
been in existence for more than thirty five
years, but did not manufacture tin pla;e
until the tariff law went into effect in 1890.
Before that time goods were manufactured
for the firm in Wales.
Mr.. Taylor said that Ga per cent of the
tin plate used in this country is used east
of the Allegheny Mountains. His firm does
not manufacture block plates, but intends
to erect a mill for that purpose as soon as
improvements in the manufacture are
made. The block plates manufactured in
America, he said, are superior to those
made abroad
Prices are no higher for tin plate now
than they were six years ago, he said, and
wages in the tin plate industry are gener-
ally good. No organized labor IS connected
with his mills and the firm had never had
labor difficulties.
His firm has no relation with the Ameri-
can Tin Plate Company, except that the
company bought out mill that had a con-
tract 10 supply his firm with block p ate
for q number of years, and the American
Tin Plate Company assumed the contract
when it absorbed the block plate mill.
The N & G.. Taylor Company, he said is a
competitor with the American Tin Plate
Trust

ROGERS TAKES HIS CHILD.
Alleged Abduction From the Condo
Homo in OsNxeEO. v. Y.

OSWEGO, n. Y, Dec. S.-Lebbeus Hard
ing Rogers, jr., Of New York, gave the
local police authorities lively run here
today. He was wanted on a warrant
charging him with kidnapping his infant
daughter, seven months old, from the
residence of MIR. and Mrs. Swits COnde,
the baby's grandparents. Young Rogers
arrived here from New York at $50 o'clock
this morning, accompanied by woman
who wore a thick veil, and drove 10 the
home of Mrs Henry d. McCaffery, where
the woman alighted, Rogers proceeding to
the COnde home two blocks away. He eX-
pressed a desire to see his baby daughter,
and he was taken to the nursery where the
child was in charge of a nurse. After
taking the baby in his arms and talking
pleasantly for a few moments he left the
house with the child.
Swits-C Churchill Conde his brother-in
law. fastened TO police headquarters and
obtained a warrant for the arrest of Rogers
upon a Kidnapping charge, but Rogers es-
capped to Syracuse.
Rogers married Miss Maria Dorcas
Conde, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Swits COnde at the Fifth Avenue Presby-
terian Church, in New York city, in the
spring of 1898 In May last Mrs. Rogers
gave birth to twin daughters at the Conde
I
afterward. The body was brought here
for burial, and Mrs. Conde took charge
OF the babies, one of which died in Sep
tember. Rogers made his home with the
Condos most of the summer, but, it is
said. there was a falling out which called
for his retirement from the family circle
| The steps to apprehend and arrest Rogers
have been abandoned, the local police au-
| thorities say
NEW YORK. Dec S.-Lebbeus II. Rogers
ST, said today that he did not care TO talk
about his sons differences with the Condos
! He said that young Mr.. Rogers left home
! after dinner on Thursday with the inten-
! ton. as he supposed, of spending the night
! with friends on Staten Island. He had nc
/ idea that his son intended to go to Oswcgo
| and did not know of his having gone there
| But. anyway Mr. Rogers said, the
! child is his and he has a right to it
| The marriage of Lebbeus II. Rogers, jr.
! and Maria Swits COnde on May II, 1898, al

/ caused some comment because OF the trou-
| BILE the Condos had in the spring and sum
mer of 1897 with Ensign Stone, of the
monitor Puritan who was in love with
! Miss Conde. Mr.. Conde charged EnsigT
! Stone. whose addresses were not welcomed
! by the young womans family, with trying
! to abduct his daughter from the Yates
! House in Syracuse. On these charges the
| young man was summoned before board
OF enquiry on May /, 1897. The court ex

CAUSE OF PAINS FAILURE.
He BIames The Navy Department for
His Trouble.

NEW YORK, Dec. Sat the Office Of
Pains Fireworks Company, whose assign
ment with liabilities Of $4,000 was an
nounced yesterday, it was said today that
the accident, from which large number
OF damage suits resulted, so costly as TO
cripple the company's resources, and which
occurred at Columbus, Ohio, last summer
during a sham battle, was indirectly the
fault OF the Navy Department, from which
the company bought a lot of shells, includ-
ing some known as gallery cartridges,
loaded with ball but not in any way dis
tirguishable from the powder-loaded shells
1t was added that while the Government
was not directly to blame, it had under
taken an investigation of the firm from
which the Navy Department obtained the
shells.
IF we are allowed any claim from the
Government" it was said, 'we shall have
to obtain the consent of Congress to sue,
which OF course, viii be a long and tedious
proceeding The company is able to set
tie its debts and Will carry on its busi-
negs as usual "

rulings in regard to the hand-stamping of
matter which passes through the mails:
First-Impriuts made upon paper by hand
stamp Cwhen not having the character OF an ac-
tual and personal cOrresp0ndencc) are held 10 be
printed matter within the intendment OF section
3I5, Postal Laws and Regulations
Second-ImpTints by hand-stamp upon printed
matter OF the third class are held not to affect
its classification, except when the added print is
in itself personal, or converts that to which 1t IS
added into u personal communication; but when
such appears 10 be the fact. in either case, the
presentation at one time It the pOstOtice OF not
less than twenty identical copies to separate ad-
dresses is held 10 be sufficient evidence OF imper-
sonal character to entitle such matter TO the
third-class rate ut postage.
The order is said by Mr.. Madden to be
Of greater Importance than at first APP
pears. Heretofore he said, mail matter
of this character has had no definite classi-
fcation owing to the matter being neither
written or printed as it is construed by
the postoffice authorities, The present
rulings. he said, will greatly facilitate the
handling of this class of matter by the
