The United Steel Co. of Canton has
sued the Pennsylvania Railway Co.
for $19,11S.90, damages alleged to have
been done during the food which oc-
Cured on February % last, when the
eastern part of the city was submerg-

stated in the News-Democrat that such
suit would be brought.
The petition was filed Wednesday
morning by Judge A. A. Thayer, coun-

legged that as a result o. the flood a
large amount of timber, brick, cement,
lime and other material which was
upon the ground ready for the con-
struction of the mill building were
damaged or destroyed; that the COM

valley was directly responsible for the
backing up of the waters. The waters
usually flow in the creek bed, but in
time of food they spread out over the
low lands and thus are carried away
without danger to the adjoining prop
critics. 1t is claimed that after the
railway was built and up until 1895
a second opening was maintained un-
der the track in the shape Of culvert
which was twenty feet wide. This
with the regular creek bridge gave
ample outlet for water il time OF
freshet, bat in 1898 the company filled
up this culvert with gravel, stone and
earth, leaving only such an outlet as is
furnished by two iron pipe feet in di-

off the water and caused it at the TING
complained of to back up in the valley
and overflow the Surrounding country
and inundate the plant of the United
Steel Co. For that reason, judgment
for the amount claimed is asked.
1t is said that if this case results In

pressure. He made good quality of
steel and demonstrated that there
would be a great saving in the cost OF
making.
1t is possible to convert is tons of
pig iron into a good quality of steel in
from Is to 80 misutes after the melted
pig goes into the converter.
A FORMER RESIDENT.
DR.. Young, though having returned
to this city recently, is no stranger to
Canton people. He was the founder
of the surgical and dental chair indus
try in Canton and took out the first
patents for the device For some
years he was at the head of the con-
cern, which was known as F. e. Young
& Co., then the Young Surgical Chair
Co., and later as the Canton Dental G.
Surgical Chair Co.
If the process is all that is expected
of 1t and the rights are retained by the
Canton iron manufacturers who are
about to make the test, it will give the
local people an advantage in steel
making that will put their competitors
at their mercy
Some shop rights are being negotia-
ted and a number of offers have been
made for the patent rights. The test
will not be made until later in the
summer, as it will require some time to
get the machinery ready.

.UNSAN|TARY
CONDITIONS
State Health Board Is
Bla m ed for Fairmount
Home Trouble

A new sewage disposal plant must
be built at the Fairmount children's
home near Alliance. The present sys-
tenn of disposing Of the sewage was
installed in 1899 at cost of $4500
1t has never been satisfactory and re-
Gently the odors arising from the tank
have become so offensive that they
can hardly be borne The plant is To-
Gated about 300 feet from the build
ings and 1t Is feared that unless some
thing Is done soon the health of the
inmates will be endangered.
A report has been received from q
committee of the state board, consist
ing of r. Winthrop Pratt, engineer and
Josiah Hartzell, pointing out the de-
fects Of the present system and sug-
gesting that new system of land
filtration be established, running the
sewage into a covered tank in the low
gravel beds, through which it is to be
filtered. The system, it is stated
must be thorough, as the drainage will
be into stream from which the city
of Alliance draws its water supply. 1t
is suggested that competent engineer
be employed to prepare plans which
are to be again submitted to the state
board of health.
The county commissioners are of
the opinion that the state board OF
health is responsible for the trouble
at the home When the institution
was first built, system something
after the plans now urged by the state
board was established, the plans being
prepared by the engineer, l.. e. Chap
in, of Canton.
In 1899 1t was decided that as the
pipes had filled up that a more mod
erin plant should be built. The Bacter-
ial Purifying & Cleansing Co., of Alli-
ance, submitted plans and prices,
which were in turn submitted to the
state board of health.
Under date of August 6, 1899, Josiah
Hartzell, member of the state board
of health, wrote M. M. Southworth
superintendent of the home, as. fol-
lows:
Exert your influence in favor of this
project You can do so with entire
confidence in the perfect success of
the method proposed. 1t will make an
end of the trouble for all time"
In addition TO this endorsement was
statement from C. o. Probst, secre-
, tary Of the state board, as follows:
columbus, o., Aug. %, 1899.
IN. M. Southworth, Alliance, o.:
1.-The state board Of health has con-
sidered the plans prepared by o. w
Pfouts, engineer, FOR the purificaticll
of sewage of your institution, and you
are hereby notified that said plans
have been examined and approved by
the state hoard of health.
&c. o. PROBST, Secretary"
/ The disposal plant was put in &C.
cording to the plans and was never
satisfactory. The commissioners Of
Stark and Columbiana counties will
take joint action upon the matter
within short time.

Attains Success and Pat.
ents Process After Hard
Work.
Built Experimental Plant
Which Differs From Bes.
Semer Converter.

DR.. r. Il. Young, who lives at SPRING
Geld avenue and South street, has taxi
en- out patent upon a new process
Of converting pig iron into steel that
promises to revolutionize the art of
steel making, saving 1t is claimed full
ly "a ton over the present Bessemer
process.
The letters patent were taken
out April last. 1t is the process
which has been patented and not the
converter, although DR.. Young has sew
eral other patents that will follow as
soon as the practical commercial ex-
pertinent has proven successful. A
number of local capitalists who are
interested in iron manufacturing have
entered into an agreement to fit up
converter that can be operated under
the new process and the matter will
be thoroughly tested. A Bessemer con-
verter will be remodeled and be adapt
ed to the new conditions.
YOUNG'S PLAN.
DR.. Young has been interested in the
manufacturing OF iron for the last 15
years and took thorough course in
chemistry and metallurgy. He has an
inventive mind and has patented sew
eral devices, processes which have pro-
ven successful and profitable. In his
laboratory studies he early recognized
the fact that the great trouble in steel
making was to get rid Of the sulphur
and phosphorus. 1t was known that
these two elements during the melting
process were found in the greater guam
titles in the Stag and grosser material
that fioated upon the surface. His plan
was to get rid Of this Stag as it formed
and In order to do so planned to apply
the blast to the top of the bath" of
hot metal Instead ascending 1t through
from below or from side draft.
Experts to whom this plan was re-
vealed stated that the plan would not
work. That when the air was forced
into the converter over the top Of the
metal it would not be oxidized and
would freeze in the converter. DR..
Young thought otherwise and continu-
ed his experiments He thought that
by applying the top draft the metal
would be put in motion and the refuse
burned out and nothing but the steel
remain.
BESSEMER PROCESS.
In the Bessemer process the Stag re-
mains until after the steel is drawn off
and the sulphur and phosphorus get
back into the steel. For this reason
the Bessemer people have to use their
own pig iron which has been deprived
of these constituents to a degree. DR..
Young's process permits the using OF
any kind Of pig iron or scrap.
The amount of air pressure that Is
needed in the new process is very slight
compared with the old method. The
Bessemer process. where the air Is
applied from the bottom, requires
a pressure of 25 pounds to the square
inch. Young's process needs but 4
pounds to the inch, and in the matter
Of furnishing this power alone there
is great saving.
Dr. Young built plant and expert
mented in half ton lots and found that
ne could get rid of the Stag and gem
crate great heat with his low air

One busy day on the Change of Petrax the shorn and shearers were thrown Into pandemonium by the announcement that a wonderful mine had been discovered on the obverse side of the moon. which con- tained metal destined to prove of price less value to the Englanlans when the dire predictions of the astronomers that the sun would die out at the end of thirty million years should begin to be fulfilled. The new metal. pyrodium. was pronounced by scientists to be the most remarkable yet discovered in the history of earth dwellers and was capable of producing perpetual heat waves at the rate of 1O,- 000,00O a second.
 On account of it's heat giving qualities pyrodium was a fine investment and 1t was the announcement that a well known operator of Petrax had already secured options on the property that created such a furor among the speculators. Ether bull letins had just been received from the moon stating that Colonel Otaz. the for tunate investor. would leave shortly in his private airship for the earth where he would unfold the possibilities of the olutionize the lives of the Englanians in a few cycles of years.
 It Is now the hour for Colonel Otax to make his appearance in the clouds and the operators on Change were consumed by their excitement. Some ran hither and thither, reading the transmitted thought

 from the mine was also expected to be very expensive.
 One day a bomb exploded in the popu- lous city of Petrax. A party of scientists who had been making an exhaustive in- vestigation of conditions prevailing on the obverse side of the moon had discovered the mine of the Lunar-Petrax Consoli- dated Cooperative Development company and had also discovered that the boasted bonanza of Colonel Otax was fraud. The scientists who had been permitted to see the specimens brough to earth were paid for their opinion of it's worth and the lo- cation of the wonderful mine had been carefully guarded from earthdwelers since the return of the capitalists from the visit of inspection, Now the true scientists had return I'd to earth and dis closed the colossal swindle which Colonel Otax had successfully worked on the financiers of Petrax. s
