A RED HOT DAY
And More Such Weather is Coming.
Much Suffering Yesterday.

And More Such Weather is Coming.
Much Suffering Yesterday.
1t is doubtful if there was as much
suffering from the heat any day during
the summer as yesterday. The Their
mometer has registered a higher de-
gree Of heat. but yesterday it was close
and sultry. and there were no breezes.
The result was seen in tn small crowds
on the streets, the number who loitered
along the river bank, and in Riverside
Park, and the crowd of round-trippers
on the Wheeling, and Wheeling & Elm
Grove electric railways last evening.
The highest temperature noted by
Observer Christian Schnepf was 971a
but the 100 mark was reached by ther-
mometers hanging in the shade at
other points. The hea, in the mills was
instense. and it Is q remarkable fact
that there were no prostrations
There is no prospect of relief during
the next few days, as the following AS

IMPORTANT ACTION
By the Bessemer Association Taken
at Cleveland Yesterday.

CLEVELAND, O., August 6.-At a
meeting of the Bessemer Association
here to-day, an important step was de-
cided upon with the object of prevent
ing further decline in the price of
pig iron. 1t was agreed that all the fur
naces producing Bessemer pig should
go out of blast on September list with
the exception of the furnace of the
Brier Hill Iron & Coal Company, and
that Of. the Andrews Hitchcock Com
pany at Youngstown. One Of these will
run on contracts and the other will pro
duce foundry iron. The members of
the Bessemer Association say this step
is necessary. Not ton of this iron
has BEEN contracted for in several weeks
and Notwithstanding reduction of
eight dollars ton in the price, it can
not be sold. 1t is hoped that the shut
down, which is to be for an indefinite
period, will result in a restoration of
prices by working off the surplus
stock.

large NEW TUBE PLANT.
WILL SOON DE ERECTED BY THE
WHEELING IROyT AND sTEfaLd
COMPANY '
EITHER HERE OR At BENWooD.
Report That Plans for Such Man
ufactoPy Are Being Considered,
and Two Sites Have Been Sur
veyed-An OfnciaI of the Company
Interviewed Last Night Would Not
Confirm or Deny 1t.

1t is learned from very reliable
source that the Wheeling Iron and
Steel Company is considering plans
and figuring on the cost of a large tube
works, upon which work will soon be
commenced either in this city or in
Benwood While efforts were made to
secure more definite information con-
corning the rumor of the proposed i'm
provements by the company but all to
little avail it can be assuredly stated
that it will rank among the leading
manufactures of the kind in this Sec
ton of the country and a vast inn
provement for the industrial conditions
of the Ohio valley.
In reply to query as to whether it
would not be considerable risk to try
to compete with the National Tube
Company in the manufacture of tub
ing, the Registers informant replied
that the company would, of course, en-
gage in the business on scale in pro-
portion to the capital stock, which
would, no doubt, prove profitable. 1t
is said that the vacant grounds possess
ed by the company at their Top mill in
North Wheeling and at their plant in
Benwood have been surveyed with this
object in view and that it is very like
ly that the latter site may be selected.
G. Russell Hubbard, president OF the
Wheeling Iron and Steel Company,
when questioned last evening concern
ing the report stated that he had
nothing to say about it. He further re-
marked that there were many reasons
why the public should not be inform
ed as to the plans for such an enter
prise, even though it be truthfully re-
ported.
1t is not known if this is the same
company that has been looking at some
sites in Bellaire that would be suitable
for a plant of this kind, but it is most
probable that there are two companies
and that each is independent of the
other, although the talk of building a
works at Bellaire seems to have been
dropped, and many are of the opinion
that this is the same company.

Local News From the City of Milla
and Workshops.

On Sunday afternoon about 2 o'clock
Miss Magic Ralston, who since January
has been seriously sick, passed quietly

very low, and death was expected at

bid her brothers and sisters, also many
friends, farewell, and calmly and pa
tiently awaited her summons to enter

her death was complication of dis
eases, and for many months she was a
constant sufferer, but always patient

was model-always the same, with
no harsh words or criticism against
anyone. Everyone who knew her felt
better by having gained her acquaint-
ance. Having lived in this city all

term, was employed in the schools in
this city She was known as one OF
the most efficient teachers in the
school. She was a consistent member
of the United Presbyterian church
having Joined at the age of eight
years, and for many years taught a
class in the Sunday school. In the
death of Miss Ralston the community

of the cemetery was reached. There
the motorman shut off the power and

| Just beyond the cemetery gate Newton
j A. McConn, of Roney's Point, was driv-
| ing a hay wagon towards home. An
other car was coming west. from the
| Park, and Mr.. McConn started TO the
| right side of the road to avoid it, and
J probably did not know that the east

cleared the south track the east-bound

element The passengers were gener-

portion Of it was left lying along the
track on the right hand side of the
road, while the team, taking the front
wheels with them, skipped along the
pike and the horses were caught at

of the wagon, and was found uncons-
cious on the side of the road. He was
gathered up and placed on the in-com-
ing car, being attended by DR.. Hildreth

the boy could be found. Later it was
learned that he was not on the wagon

BUFFALO, n. Y, Aug. 6.-Two ia
vorites scored in the three races pre-
sented as the opening card for the
Buffalo grand circuit meeting held at
the Fort Erie, Ont, track this after
noon. About $500 people crossed the
river to attend the sport, and there
was brisk play in the auctions. Dill
lOnite was expected to accomplish a
great deal when he encountered Palm
Leaf and the others in the 2:19 class
trotting, the first on the days card.
In the early polling he was sold first $25
against $50 on the field. He was not in
form, however, and the only heat he
got in the race was a gift, as every
other good one had break early in the
mile. After the second heat in 2:12R
York Boy won handily, although a
break in the third heat made him
travel an extra mile.
Winola was a S100 to $65 favorite
before the first heat of the 2:16 pace
in the Empire stake, and she justified
the confidence of the public by Keeling
off three straights, far in front.
The PIP trot. the Niagara River
stake, was conceded to Thomas Law
sons Boralma, and she was barred in
all pool selling. Summaries:
