NATIONAL TIN Plate Company Stockholders Meet at Pittsburgh aad Organic* TWO PROPOSITIONS ADVANCE! One for the Selling of the Bights tc Use the New Process and the Otbei to Erect a Plant?Free Site Offered by a Monongahela Elver Town. Judge Beaver Says the New Procesi la Simple and Efficient. The stockholders of the National Tin Plate Company met yesterday In th< -? w n ?? DltfsKnrffh Uiuce Ot TT. XU. XUDliiii Uk ?. . ??? o This company recently was chartered under the laws of West Virginia, and controls the new Rogers process toi manufacturing tin plate, which, it li declared will revolutionise that industry. Among the stockholders at the meeting were Judge James A. -Beaver, ol Pennsylvania; Senator N. E. Whltaker, of Wheeling; W, H. Rogers, a son of the inventor; J. B. Lewis, and W. E. Tustln. The object of the meeting was to decide on plans. Two propositions were considered. One is to erect a plant and manufacture tin plate by the new process, and the other Is to sell the rights. Judge Beaver said: "Our plans for introducing this new process have not been clearly defined. I took this process up wjth William Rogers, the inventor, several years ago, and erected an experimental plant at the works in Bellefonte. 1 know that the process simplifies the manufacture, and makes a better qualtly of plates." A member of the company said that Tips-otlations have been pending with the American Tin Plate Company for the purchase of the patents. Offers of free sites and cash bonuses, he said, have been offered the company if it decides to erect a plant and manufacture tin plate. One of the sites offered is In the Monongahela valley. The nominal capital of $1,000, was increased to $5,000,000. J. C. McDowell, of the Philadelphia Company, was elected president; O. S. Lewis, secretary; A. B. Dally, treasurer, with the following board of direc| tors: J. C. McDowell; Senator N. E. , Whltaker, of Wheeling, W. Va.; W. H. | Rogers, Wheeling, and A. B. Dally, ol I Pittsburgh. ANOTHER BURGLARY At McMechen, a Saloon Being: Made to Suffer Considerably. [ cry was made that thieves had visited j the saloon of Charles Kinney, in McI Mechen, and had robbed the slot ma| chine of its contents, besides getting away with a quantity of liquor*. This I is the third time the saloon has been entered within a few weeks. The burglary is another of the many that have occurred in McMechen recently and the citizens arc beginning to ask when it is to stop. The thieves have become so bold, it is said, that they attempted the other night to rob the home of the town marshal, Newton Whitlatch. No arrests have been made yet and it is hoped the guilty parties will soon be run down. A Big Wool Sale. H. If. Camahan and D. If. Welch, two leading wool buyers of Cadiz, O., have Just completed the sal? 'and shipment of 200,000 pounds of Harrison county wool to Eastern manufacturers. The price was S3 cenfs a pound. Three years ago farmers throughout this section of Ohio Were selling nhecp at les.s than $1 per head, and receiving from 14 to 17 cents a pound for wool. Many Democratic farmers argued at that time that wool would not advance, and blamed the ruination of their industry to the Republican "tariff tinkering." Now these sainr* men pocket their checks without a word on the subject of free trade ot tariff reform. In Clerk Robertson's Office.
