AS IMME NSE STEE L PIAST ^Igoma Company Has Ordered $500,000 Worth of Machinery in Pittsburg. CONDENSED XEW5 ITEMS^THE WORLD'S MARKEFS , A despatch from Pittsbarg, Ponn., says : Another move toward centr- ing the iron and siteel industry of the United Staters on tbc borders of the Great Lakeii wa« made on Thursday, when a contract was closed by the Algoma Steel Com- pany for $oO?>,000 worth of heavy steel machinery to be delivered at Sault Hte. Marie, Canada, as quick as possible. It is the intention of the Phiiadplphiana and tbti London- ers back of this plant to have two immense Rteel mills in Canada turning out bars and other steel products by Nov 1 next. The na- ture of the m&chiaerj- ordered , shows that the milla to be erected will b«» rivals worthy of even the biggest and best Pittsburg mills. The mills w.^1 b« by far the larg- est in Canetda. After six year»' study those con- cerned in this project at the head of the Ureat Lakes nave decided that it would be cheaper tn earry the coal to the iron ora tliaa bring, the ores to the coal, aa has i>een the custom for veam. It is the in- tention to go after the Canadian trade and the trade of the North- west States, a specialty being made of the steel entering into ths making of fanning machinery. Announcement of placing this order caused some interest in Pitts- burg because Pittsburg steel barons have looked on tuis north- â- we.st territory as their own, even though the Algoma concern has had a rail mill there and ore mines for some time. There is little doubt now that the moet formidable rivai the Pittsburg steel mills have en- countered in years in the north- west is now securing a better hold, as local concerns will hardly be able to compete with a freight of over 1,500 miles added to their cost of manufacture at Pittsburg. TO BE BULLT SOOX. A despatch from Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., says: W. G. Franz, general manager of the Lake Superior Cor- poration, of which the Algoma Steel Company is a subsidiary concern, referring to the despatchea from Pittsburg, states that the project ed structural steel plant will be er- ected this season. In addition to the structural steel plant, the com- pany -will also construct two addi- tional blast furnaces and a huge coking, plant, making a total ex- ! penditure for improvements and ' enlargementa to the plant of the Algoma Steel Company here which will run up well into the millions. It is the intention of the reorgan- ized company to make the C^anadian "Soo" the source of supply for both steel rails and structural »teel for the entire Canadian North- West. It is generally accerpted here that the new interests in tha Lake Superior Corporation are clo.«iely allied, if not identical, with Cana- dian Pacific interests. F£IJ.0FFL.4UNeH. £arry NrEwaa and Albert Milbira Drowned in Oamiltoa Bay. A despatch from Hamilton says : !A double drowning accident oc- curred in Hamilton Bay, near the £each, on Saturday afternoon, in which Harry McLwan. 476 York atreet, aad Albert Milburn, 142 Main street west, lost their lives through falling out of a gaaoline launch. How the accident happen- ed is a matter ol conjecture, as David McFvvan, who was with them, neither saw nor knew of it until he looked back and saw the head oi oue man rise above the surface the last time. It is thought, however, that the two who were drowned were pumping water out of the stern of the boat, and in leaning too far over the gunwale, lost their -balance. The survivor was steering the boat in the bow, and beard no outcry, but states that as the en- «ir.e was between them and him. Its noise would have shut out the •ound of their voices if they did «ry out when they fell over the «ide. .f OIL STOVE EXPLODED. Vwo M(>a Badly Burned at London â€"$^75 ia Bills Destroyed.

He fell five st-ories on Wednesday, acd escaped with a alight gash in tiie head.

His next stjp was aro.her CoDr below, wher» he tumbled into a woman's skirt hung out on the line and in- flated by the wind.
