PITTSBURG, Pa, October 21,-The
Commercial Gazette tomorrow will
say:
Seybold & Dickstod, of Sheffield,
England, the largest manufacturers Of
crucible steel in Great Britain, con-
template moving their plant to the
United States.
A site providing excellent water and
rail shipping facilities has been pro-
vided near Wheeling, w. Va, and it is
proposed to erect thereon modern
plant costing upward OF $4,000, 600.
which from the first will employ about
$500 men. The object OF the move IS
to get into the American market. Con-
stantiy increasing cost OF coal in
England is prominent factor, acting
as an impetus to the move.
Charles Walker, who left the Eng
lish firm twenty-five years ago to come
to this country, and who is now an
expert at the Demmler works of the
Firth-Sterling Steel Company, in ia
receipt of an autograph letter from
the head Of the English firm outlining
the plans given.

RELIEVE END IN SIGHT.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, October I'll
The general belief here is that the
coming week will see the wind-up of
the strike. The strikers do not admit
this openly, but it is the feeling that
the lockout cannot be continued much
longer. Both sides are expected to
make concessions.
The operators say they have none
to make, but under certain pressure
they are expected to make them new
ertheless. The politicians have had
their say in the negotiations looking
toward a settlement and now the sales
agents of the big companies and the
retail dealers in the big cities are TAX
ing a hand. They are writing and
telegraphing every day to the coal
companies that unless something is
done very soon to bring the strike to
an end and an effort made to get
some hard coal on the market at sal
able figures, the anthracite trade will
be demoralized for years to come and
some of it will be lost forever.
One sales agent writes:
Zone of my largest customers tells
me that consumers are getting to like
bituminous coal, and that they think
they will keep on using It."
1t is such reminders as these that
makes the operators just as anxious
to settle the strike as the miners. But
the strikers must make the biggest
concession and there is every reason
to believe that they will do it before
the week is out. Many of the miners
out on strike argue this way:
LET US accept the latest offer Of the
companies and settle the powder ques-
ton later on. II we are going to re-

speech there tomorrow morning. They
therefore proceeded on their way TO
Wheeling and Huntington learned that
Mr.. Bryan had concluded to attempt to
come to Huntington by way OF Co
lumbus, Chic, expecting to reach this
city early tomorrow morning.
At Wheeling the newspaper cores
pondents we're met by a committee OF
distinguished West Virginia Democrats
headed by Col. J. T. McGraw, national
committeeman from that State, and
John H. Holt. Democratic candidate for
Governor This committee will accom-
pany Mr.. Bryan throughout his West
Virginia tour.
The fact that Mr.. Bryan was expect
ed to cross the State to-day, though
without any intention of making
speeches, had apparently become gen.
orally known, for the railway stations
were filled with people who had come
out to greet him. There were large
crowds at Wheeling, Sistersville, st.
Marys, Parkershugg, and all other
points along the line of travel. There
was general expression of disappoint-
ment over Mr.. Bryan's non-appear-
ance
The train reached Oil City at four
o'clock this morning. and despite the
early hour there were several hundred
people gathered at the railroad sta
ton to welcome him. The newspaper
men were reused from their slumbers
by loud calls for Bryan, and by vigor-
Gus knocking on the car windows.
Those of the correspondents who raised
their sashes and spoke to the crowd
were at first not very pleasantly re-
oeived.
The people gathered there with the idea
of getting Mr.. Bryan out to present him
with an immense bouquet which they had
brought to the train. Evidently some of
them believed that the statement that he
was not aboard was a mere subterfuge TO
relieve him from going out TO meet them.
The occupants of the car promised, how
ever. to see that Mr.. Bryan received the
flowers.
When the train moved out the crowd
cheered for Bryan apparently disposed to
soon forget their disappointment.

and further by the fact that the long
bridge over the railroad tracks. which
furnished access to the scene Of the
confiagration, was torn up for repairs.
From the packing house the flames
spread to the warehouse of the North
western Lime Company, thence to the
Mccormick Harvester Company's big
brick warehouse, filled with valuable
farm machinery. It was here that the
fatalities occurred. The firemen OF en-
CINE company No. IL had entered the
Mccormick warehouse to be in better
position to fight the flames. There
was tank containing two hundred
gallons of gasoline In the rear part OF
the building and its explosion shat
tered the walls and buried the men IN
the debris. The bodies OF the other VIC
Tins have all been recovered.
The Mccormick Harvester Company
was the heaviest loser, their loss foot
ing up s3S0,000. OF this, $4,000 was
on buildings and 100000 on stock and
notes, all their papers and records be-
ing burned. They carry no insur-
ance. The loss of D. M. Robbins, of
the packing house where the fire orig
mated, is placed at $35, $500, which in
cludes the loss on several tenement
houses and other buildings. The loss
to the Great Northern railroad on cars
destroyed foots up $4,000; Northwest
ern Lime Company, $4,000; A. NJ. Hin
man & Co.. lessees of the packing
house plant, lost $4,000 on, stock and
machinery; the Merriam Park Ice
Company, $1,000 on buildings and
stock, and other minor losses which
will bring the total to nearly $450,00o.
Losers other than the Mccormick conf
pany are well protected by insurance.

MANY ATTEND THE SEANg[S|
BEING HELD IN ALL SECTIONS OF
THE CITY BY FAKE sPIR-
ITUALIsTs.
THE Willy PREsTIDIGITATEURs
Have Large F0ll0wings and the
Graft II q Cinch-0ne Spiritualist
Asks to he Let Alone Until He Has
Worked the Town for All Is In
Worth.

Seances are becoming quite the prop
er caper in certain sections of this city.
Especially on the South Side there is a
meeting conducted by the so-called
spiritualists almost every night in the
week. 1t has become manila dis
ease, and the infection, if anything
seems to be spreading. From all parts
OF the city devotees come fiocking and
most willingly give up half dollar to
be faxed by the willy prestidigitateur
into believing that some dear departed
relative can be called back to this earth
and make him, or herself, as the case
may be, known more than likely by
conversation.
It's a proper graft for any one who
is next to play the game. In the first
place the spiritualist is an object OF
charity. There is no expense connected
with running the game.
1t has secured such a following in
this city that there are always plenty
of houses open to the spiritualists, and
all he does is to collect his little fifty
cent per before the performance be-
gins. The house is furnished gratis
by the delighted follower. The only
thing necessary is to keep circulating
among the different houses offered N
order to keep the trade from getting
sore.
One gentleman in this city who is per-
fectly familiar with all methods used
in such meetings, has standing offer
CT $1,000 for anyone who can furnish
him mirage he cannot explain. His
only stipulation is that it be done pub
licly in a public place and not in a
private house A supposed spiritualist
while conyersing with him last week
claimed he could win the forfeit He
was invited to make trial anytime he
became ready. Saturday the spiritual
list went to the gentleman and admitted
the business was fake and asked that
he be not exposed. Upon securing the
promise he went away highly elated
and that night held a well attended
meeting where the shades of many de-
parted souls spoke brayely out to Gag
erly waiting relatives.
The spiritualists have large follow
ing, however, as each succeeding meet
ing is said to be learger attended

her son was at home all night the date Of
the murder. The States attorney did not
attempt to disprove the invalid moth
er's testimony, but simply referred to
the fact that If 1t were true, the father
of John Crablett had neglected to go on
the stand to support it. The feeling over
the matter was kept UP till Judge Mans
ED granted Cramblett
A New Trial.
One Of the witnesses summoned this time
is Rev. j. I. Black, an United Presby-
terrain minister, to whom it is said
Cramblett made confession during
one of the Mt. Pleasant examinations,
saying to him: Il did it, and God knows
did Rev. Black was not witness at
the former trial, this testimony not be-
ing known of then. The defense claim
there is nothing In the alleged confess
sion. The defense also scores hard on
the manner in which the shooting was
done. The assassin, as indicated by shoe
prints, shot with the gun to his right
shoulder, while the accused always shot
"crossfred.' Recently as the Cramblett
family scraped together enough money
to employ Messrs. Erskine and Rogers
the two attorneys appointed by the
court, withdrew. There are many facts
pointing to the commission of the
crime by others, and the attorneys for
the defense Will lay before the jury the
incident at Martins Ferry the morning
after the murder, of a man who rode
into the town and stated to several that
he killed Gosnell. This was before any
body in the town was aware of the
murder, and little attention was paid to
the man, who crossed the river into
West Virginia and was never seen after

The strikers here believe that the
companies which have failed to comply
with the agreement of Thursdays con-
ference to post amendments to the orig
inal offer guaranteeing its continuance
till April LIST, 1901, are prompted to do
so by desire to hold up the settle
ment and see if it is not possible TO

IT WONT WORK

The storm Of indignation raised in
every quarter over the provisions ofth
Hay-PauAcefort treaty is distinct
setback to the Administration.
Mckinley had planned to have this
government build the Nicaragua ca
nal at our own expense and allow
England the use and practically the
control of it. Mark Hanna admits
that the adoption Of the treaty will
lose the Pacific Coast to the Repub!i-
can party. Is not the fact that the
Administration has endeavored to i'm
pose such treaty on the county suf-
fcient to lose the Pacific Coast to the
party?
Does the fact that he was detected
and stopped in an attempt to give
Great Britain the advantage absolve
him from the consequences of his
act?
Why cannot this nation elect an
American instead of an Anglomaniac
for it's PRESIDENT 1t might not be q
bad plan to try i: this year anyway,
