RARE GOLD COINS.
A. G. Jones Has Rare Selection of
 Great Value.

A. G. Jones of Newport News, Va, Is stopping in this city, the guest of R. M. Poindexter. 2104 Avenue c. MT. Jones has by far the finest collection of gold coins of the United States and of the colonies from which 1t was formed that can be found in the south, and perhaps in the country. He has gold 25-cent pieces that were issued by a colony in the seventeenth century, any one of which Is now worth about s100, some more and some less. The collection includes all denominations of American gold pieces from 25 cents up to s20. The face value is, however, no index of the true value of a rare coin. MT. Jones has had many offers for his collection, but 1t is not for sale. It Is his fad. and as every one has fad who can afford one. MT. Jones proposes to remain all his days coilec- tor of rare American gold coins. He not only has the coins but he has at his tongues end the history of each coinage.

SCHWAB LEAVES
 WITH NO REMARKS

Charles M. Schwab, president of the vania, who spent yesterday in the Bir- mingham district as the guest of George G. Crawford of the Tennessee company, put in the greater part of the afternoon at the Ensley steel plant. He was es- pecally interested in observing the op- eration of the duplex process, and 1t Is said, indeed, that the object of his visit at this time was chiefly to inspect that process In its practical application with a view of installing it in his steel mill at Bethlehem.
 The duplex process has been known for years to steelmakers. It has been in use in Germany and Austria for some time, but Ensley Is the only place in the United States where 1t is operated on a commercial basis 1t was introduced here by the Bacon administration because of the scarcity of scrap in the south, and 1t has been in successful use here ever since. It Is understood that MT. Sohwab was well pleased with the process, and with advantage in view of the increasing scarcity of scrap in the east
 In the duplex process the mixer, con- verter, cranes, ladies and engines are very similar to the ordinary Bessemer steel converter plant. The layout and the open hearth steel furnaces constitute the equipment necessity for conducting the duplex process. The blast furnace metal is taken in ladies to the mixer for stor- age and there held until shortly before the open hearth furnace Is ready for the charge. It is then drawn from the mixer and conveyed to and poured Into the converter, where the silicon and carbon are greatly reduced or practically elimi- mated by an air blast forced through the bath of metal This accomplished, the desiliconized and decarbonized metal is poured from the converter and taken in ladies and charged direct into the open hearth furnace, where the process of con- verting into steel is completed-that of re- moving the phosphorus or rather reducing 1t to the required point. Regulation of the carbon required in the steel also takes place in the open hearth furnace.
 The blowing operation requires only a few minutes-15 or 20 minutes-and the dephosphorizing operation three to six hours The process can be employed without the use of any scrap, which was primary consideration at the time the plant was installed at Ensey. It is said to be great time saver, resulting in in- creased output and consequent lower cost of production. The principal objection urged against the duplex operation in some early experiments in this county was the waste from oxidation of iron in the converter, but 1t Is understood that this difficulty has been in large measure at least overcome.
 MT. Schwab has a modern open hearth plant and many finishing mills His com pany is not a part of the United States Steel corporation, but on the contrary is known as one of the strongest of the in- dependents.

Janitor Martin, of school No. 8, was
before the board, charged with not hav-
ing obeyed instructions in regard to

acknowledged his fault" President Ar
ner said this morning, "and promised
in future to burn all refuse and waste
paper as soon as 1t collects.'

the school came nearly being the scene
of another fire last week.

ISCAUGHTl'AND
PUT INASYLUM

Patrick Reilly, of 222 Washington
street, was taken to the State Hos
pital for the Insane at Trenton this
morning by Constable James Moran,
assisted by Louis Conoly. Shortly
after 1890 o'clock City Marshal
William Walters and Conoly took
Reilly from the lookup, where he
had been confined since 4:30 O'Clock
this morning, and walked with him
to Smith and High streets.
Reilly was not handcuffed and for
a few minutes stood, while the city
marshal, Conoly, CcErtv Detective
Hoffman, Sergeant Dunham and an
other man were conversing. Reilly
protested about being taken away
and asserted that he was going to
see Chief Burke about it. He start
ed to walk up High street and partly
stopped when the city marshal call
ed to him. AS Conoly started to-
ward him Reilley began to run.
He paused an instant at the park
as If celebrating which way to go
and then ran west on Market street.
Conoly was following, with the city
marshal, and at King street the fu-
gitive was caught by William F.
Hartmann. Walters handcuned him
and the constable resumed the jour
ney to the asylum.
While waiting at Smith and High
streets the second time Reilly raved
continually, and a crowd collected.
DIR. w. z. Ramsay was called to
Reilly's home, at 222 Washington
street, last night to examine him,
and, finding him suffering with acute
mania, advised that he be sent TO
the State Hospital for the Insane.
The police were called to the house
later and as Reilly gradually grew
worse he was taken to the police
station in the patrol wagon and
locked up at 4:30 o'clock.
Dr. Ramsay and DR.. ]. L. Lund
examined him again this morning
and made out the com mitment

At SERVICE To

First Presbyterian Edifice
Would Not Seat All Who
Attended Last Night.
AN INSPIRING ADDRESS
is GIVEN BY PASTOR

The memory Of Abraham Lincoln was
honored with special services of an in.
spring nature in the First Presbyterian
church last night.
The church was crowded to the doors
every seat being occupied, while many
persons stood. The members of Major
James Ii. Dandy Post, G. A. R.; the
Westminster Cadets, and a delegation
from Perth Amboy Lodge No. 7s4 B. P.
o. Elks, occupied the main part of the
church
A lnrge portrait Of Abraham Lincoln,
draped with an American flag, was ar
ranged at the front of the pulpit and
another American flag draped the choir
rail-
A special musical program, prepared
under the direction of Fred j. Cox, or
ganist, was given. Rev. James H.
Northrup gave an excellent address on
the life of Lincoln, as a man and an
American. Mr.. Northrup, in opening
his address, said it was not his aim to
draw an exact picture of Lincoln, but
to hang picture in the right place. He
also said it was not so much to give
Lincoln the benefit of the truth as to
give him the benefit of his life.
Before the address Commander
George R. Bunten, of Major Dandy
Post, read Lincoln's Gettysburg speech.
Miss Burger sang The Star Spangled
Banner,' ana the choir and eongregs-
tion sang "Am / Soldier Of tbs
Crossi'' and America.
The service was one of the most inn
pressive held in the church in some tims
and many visitors were present.

M|SHAP' CAUSED
BY DOOR SPRING

Leon Pranz, manager of saloon at
the southeast corner Of Washington and
High streets, was the victim of serious
accident Saturday afternoon, when his
right eye was cut in two and his face
somewhat injured by door spring.
While he was trying to put spring
on door in the rear of the saloon, and,
after the lower end of it had been fast
ened, he gave the spring turn and at
tempted to secure the other end. AS he
leaned over to drive the nail, the upper
end of the spring jumped from his hand
few back and tore his eye. The end of
the spring, which was small and sharp,
also cut his face.
The injured man was removed to the
Office of DR.. J. L. MacDowall, who at
tended him and afterwards sent him to
the Manhattan Eye and Ear hospital.
