Durfee, that the first pneumatic In June, accompanied by his wife and daugh- ter, he sailed for Europe. While in Belgium he was attacked by chills and fever, which he was not able to throw off. to London his daughter was prostrated by typhoid fever, and fora time her life was despaired of. Mr. Holley, although business of importance called him to New York, re- mained in London until she was pronounced out of danger. He arrived in this city two weeks ago. His wife and daughter were to follow him as soon as the health of the latter would permit. Since his return he has been unable to attend to other business than that | deemed necessary to set his private and pro- fessional affairsin order. During the last week he did not leave his room, but was constantly attended by his physicians and ministered to by loving friends. Mrs. Holley and her daughter left England in the Germanic January 19. Just before their departure Mr. Holley’s physician cabled them a message that there was every hope of his recovery. The Germanic arrived on Sunday afternoon, but owing to delay in making her pier pre- cious time was lost, and the ladies did not reach home until twenty minutes after Mr. Holley’s death. Mr. Holley was born in Lakeville, Conn., in 1832, where his father, ex-Gov. A. H. Holley, still resides. He was graduated in 1853 from Brown University, and soon af- terward entered the Corliss Steam Engine Works, near Providence, R. I. His techni- cal studies were supplemented by a year’s ractice as a locomotive engineer on the Beoniagton Railroad. He next worked for a considerable period in a locomotive works in New Jersey. During the period from 1855 to 1860 Mr. Holley published several impor- tant works. Among the most notable were a treatise on ‘‘ Railway Economy ”’ and “ Re- ports on European Railways.” He was as- sisted in the last-named work by the late Zerah Colburn. He crossed to England on the steamship Great Eastern on her first transatlantic voyage, and, becoming ac- — with Brunel and Scott Russell, he oroughly studied the structure and sea- going qualities of the vessel. He subse- uently made the acquaintance of the late dwin Stevens, of Hoboken, and was en- gaged as consulting engineer in the construc- tion of the Stevens battery. This work led him to visit England a second time, in 1862, for the purpose of studying the latest im- provements in offensive and defensive war- fare. The result of his studies was the pub- lication, in 1864, of a treatise on ‘‘ Ordnance and Armor,’ which has since been recog- nized as a standard authority. Of his work in connection with the development of the | 3essemer steel] industry in this country, we shall speak further on Mr. Holley was active in promoting and sustaining societies for the advancement of science, Three great societies—the Society of Civil Engineers, the Institute of Mining Engineers, and the Society of Mechanical Engineers, have distinguished him with official honors. He was made president of the Institute of Mining Engineers in 1875, and was one of the founders and most enthusiastic supporters of the Society of Mechanical En- gineers. Of his personal character it is pos- sible to speak only in terms of warmest praise. He was a man of rare grace and courtesy, a delightful companion and a true friend. His memory will be cherished by a circle of friends far larger than most men are known to, even by name. A brilliant man, he was wholly without vanity ; a man of rare wit, he never used it without tender consideration for the feelings of others ; a man who had made millions for others, he asked and received for himself far less than his services were worth. His fortune was small, and his family are left in circumstances only comfort- able If the members of the Bessemer \ssociation do not double the estate he has left, they will show but a poor appreciation of his invaluable services to them while living. _ From a paper by Mr. Robert W. Hunt, of roy, on the history of the Bessemer manu- ture in America, given to the American Institute of Mining Engineers in 1876, we pile the following facts, showing Mr. Holley’s connection with that industry from ts beginning. In 1863 the Kelly Pneumatic Process Company was formed, the associa- tion being composed of the Cambria Iron Vompany, E. B. Ward, Park Brothers & “o., Lyon, Shorb & Co., and Z. S. Durfee, rs. Chouteau, Harrison & Valle joining © combination some time after. Previous the application of William Kelly for a ‘tent, Henry Bessemer, of England, had ken out patents in this country,, and in 1utumn of 1862, Mr. Holley, while in Eng- !, Was impressed with the importance of Bessemer’s invention, and so fully fore- its future that, upon his return to the 1 States, he induced Messrs. John A. ld and John F. Winslow, of Troy, Y., to join him in endeavoring to possess bessemer’s American patents. Mr. Holley ned to England in the summer of 1863, iot until the spring of 1864 did he suc- ‘in purchasing the desired rights. Thus ut the same time there were two sep- ® and distinct organizations seeking to'all royalties collected. On his return | steel was madein America. In March, 1865, Mr. Ignatius Hahn assumed charge of the Wyandotte works, and during his adminis- tration several attempts were made to con- vert iron melted in the small cupola of a foundry attached to these works. This was probably the first attempt to utilize the | cupola as a melting furnace for the Bessemer process. Mr. Holley must have been im- pressed at about the same time with the same idea, for the records of the Troy works show that on July 20th, 1865, the cupola was there used for the first time, and with complete success. Upon Mr. Holley’s return from England, in the spring of 1864, he at once commenced the erection of a 2'%4-ton experi- mental plant at Troy, N. Y., and started it February 16, 1865. While at the Wyan- dotte works steel was made at an earlier date, the Troy establishment was the first to bring the process near to a commercial suc- cess, After building the- first experimental plant at Troy, Mr. Holley seemed to have at once broken loose from the restraints of for- eign experience, and to have been impressed with the capabilities of the new process. The result is that, mainly through his inventions and modifications of the plant, we are to-day enabled to stand at the head of the world in respect to the amountof product. As before stated, there were, in 1865, the two rival or- ganizations claiming control of the process in this country—the Kelly Process Company, and Messrs. Winslow, Griswold & Holley. Both parties felt strong in their respective positions, and in possession of means to maintain them. After spending large sums of money in counsel fees, however, they wisely concluded to put an end to their fight peacefully, and consequently, early in 1866, they combined their respective inter ests, the Bessemer party, or Winslow, Gris- wold & Holley, taking 70 per cent., and the Kelly Process Company 30 per cent. of Messrs. Winslow, necessary ‘rol the future of the then undeveloped in- | Griswold & Holley had, from the very first try pany determined to erect experimental While Mr. Durfee was abroad, his | erection of their works, wisely pursued the | plan of extending every facility to blast fur- have their irons tried for steel, and under this system many brands were found wanting. The success of the Troy works whenever good metal was used, encouraged the pro- prietors to commence the erection of new works on a more extended scale, and early in 1867 Mr. Holley completed the new 5-ton plant, Mr. John C. Thompson then being superintendent of the manufacture. Mr. Holley at this date assumed personal charge of the Pennsylvania Steel Works. When Mr. Z. S. Durfee, who then entered upon the management of the Troy works, resigned his connection therewith, Mr. Holley once more became the manager, and upon rebuilding availed himself of his Harrisburg experience, and remodeled the works in a great degree, particularly as to the melting or cupola house and the blowing engines. The first blow was made in the rebuilt works on January 12th, 1870. InJanuary, 1871, Mr. Holley had a 30- inch three-high blooming train ready to run, having located it in the forge. The works con- tis NY ALEXANDER LYMAN HOLLEY. tinued running after being rebuilt, Mr. Holley relinquishing the management in 1871, but still retaining a connection as consulting en gineer. The Pennsylvania Steel Works were the third Bessemer works started in the United States, and upon the first organi zation of the company, Mr. William Butcher, of Sheffield, England, was elected as the en gineer, and ground was broken, but later, other arrangements were made, and the works were built upon plans furnished by Mr. Holley. Upon relinquishing the man- agement of these works, he was succeeded by Messrs. Nourse & Pearse. The first in- gots made at Harrisburg and sent to Johns town to be put into rails, were drawn into blooms under a 5-ton hammer, and while watching the behavior of the steel during the Mr. George Fritz, chief engineer of the Cambria Works, became convinced that it was not the proper manner of treat ing the material, and he and Mr. Holley had consultations the subject. Mr. operation, many on Fritz at once turned up a set of blooming rolls, which he placed in a 21-inch rail train, and Mr. Holley caused 8'¢-inch ingots to be cast and sent him. These were drawn to 6% inches square, then recharged and wash-heated, and then rolled into rails. So well did this work, that Mr. Holley adopted the system in the Pennsylvania Steel Company’s rail mill, which be was then tations, he decided, on his return to Troy, to build the heavier blooming mill previously mentioned. The first Bessemer converter ever erected in America was built at Cambria by Mr. Kelly, and still remains there, a cher- ished relic. Mr. Fritz had been familiar with Mr. Kelly’s experiments, and fully re- alized the advantages of the innovations in- troduced in the management and details of the Bessemer plant by Mr. Holley. These two gentlemen had been thrown during this time into the closest personal intercourse, and while Mr. Fritz was only too happy to assist Mr. Holley with his advice and experi- ence in perfecting the plans of the rail mill for the Pennsylvania works, he was equally willing to avail himself of the latter’s ex- perience and advice in arranging his plans for the Cambria Bessemer plant. The North Chicago Rolling Mill Company, of Chicago, il., built and started the eighth Bessemer works. Captain E. B. Ward was one of the heaviest owners of this company, and was | fully convinced of the merits of the process, and while abandoning the last-named es tablishment, took steps to have a larger and more complete plant erected in Chicago, ac- cording to plans furnished by Mr. Holley Profiting by the experience acquired in building the several other works with which he had been connected, Mr. Holley intro duced many improvements in the arrange- ment of this plant, and when completed it was undoubtedly the most perfect in exist- ence. The Bessemer works of the Edgar Thomson Steel Company, of Pittsburgh, Pa., were also built according to plans furnished by Mr. Holley, who had undoubtedly fore seen that the process was capable of a devel opment far beyond that which had been at tained in those countries in which it was already considered a success Even if his mind did not fully realize this conclusion, his mechanical intuition was ali to the possibilities of improvement, an result of his thouvht gave us the present accepted type of American Bessemer plant He Jid away with the English deep pit and vessels so as to get working spa under them: he substituted top-supporte l hydraulic cranes for the more expensive counter-weighted English ones, and put three ingot cranes around the pit instead of two, and thereby obtained greater area of power He changed the location of the vessels as re raised the “orks at Wyandotte, Michigan, with the | nace owners in all parts of the country, to| building. After many discussions and consul- | lated to the pit and melting-house. He modi- KK worked all the from a_ single for rever- introduced ladle and and vessels fied the cranes point; he beratory furnaces, the intermedate or accumulating ladle which is placed on and thus in- sures accuracy of operation by rendering possible the weighing of each charge of melted iron before pouring it into the con- verter. These points cover the radical fea- tures of his innovations. After building such a plant, he began to meet the difficulties of details in manufacture, among the most seri- ous of which was the short duration of the vessel bottoms, and the time required to cool the vessels to a point at which it was possible for workmen to enter and make new bottoms. After many experiments he introduced the Holley vessel bottom, which has rendered possible, as much as any other one thing, the present immense production. His subsequent invention of the removable lining for the converter, adapted the basic to American practice. Considering the vast im- provements brought about by Mr. Holley’s untiring efforts, we cannot but pay a high tribute to his enterprise and activity. At the May meeting of the Institute of Mining Engineers held in Pittsburgh in 1879, Mr. Holley was presented with a beau- tiful gift in silver by his friends and associ- ates in the Bessemer steel interest, as a rec- ognition of his invaluable professional ser- vices. His response to Mr. W. P. Shinn’s address of presentation will never be for- gotten by those who heard it, and few heard it without tears. It concluded as follows: ‘‘Among us all who are working hard in our noble profession and keeping the fires of metallurgy aglow, such occasions as this should also kindle a flame of good fellowship and affection which will burn to the end. Burn to the end—perhaps some of us should think of that, who are burning the candle at both ends. Ah! well, may it so happen to us that when at last this vital spark is ox- idized, when this combustible has put on in- combustion, when this living fire flutters thin and pale at the lips, some kindly hand may turn us down, not underblown—by all means not overblown—some loving hand may turn us down, that we may perhaps be east in a better mold.” Mr. Holley was then about to leave the country for a trip to Europe, in search of health. Few of those gathered around him as he spoke really expected to see him again. He was not insensible of his condition, but his genial wit could not even then be sup- pressed, and his unpremeditated utterances, above quoted, show startling originality of thought and expression. An editorial article which appeared in the issue of this paper containing an account of the presentation he always afterward spoke of as *‘ my obituary,” crane, the substituted cupolas and last, scales, process which now, alas! must indeed be written. ca - A Bankrupt Law.—A national law of bankruptcy is urgently needed, and its im- mediate passage demanded by popular sentiment in all parts of the country and among all mercantile classes, <A bill prepared by Judge Lowell with much care and revised aiter extensive correspondence with experts, Is was introduced into Congress more than a year ago. A sub-committee of the Senate Judiciary Committee was at work on the subject during last summer’s recess, and took the opinions of chambers of commerce, boards of trade, commercial organizations, merchants, lawyers, &c., throughout the country as to the best features of a bank- ruptcy law This sub-committee has, we believe, submitted its report It is now the duty of Congress to take up the matter with- out further delay and give the country the | best law that can be framed Che proposi- } tion has been pushed forward from some | quarter that, instead of a national law of | bankruptey, provision be made for the dis position of all bankruptey matters under the | general chancery powers of the United States courts.

The Peerless Punch and Shear Co., of No. 115 Liberty street, this city, have recently put upon the market a new upright drill press of the kind shown in the engrav ing. It has 22 inches swing and is de- |signated by the manufacturers as their ** goose-neck pattern.” It has been designed to meet the demand for a large drill press for general work at moderate cost By dis- pensing with the outside finish not required by the working of the press, considerable economy in construction has been achieved. The working parts are well and strongly made and are carefully fitted. The spindle and shaft are both of steel. The spindle is balanced by weight in the column. The heavy base is extended back so as to support a brace that sustains the countershaft, this construction being employed in place of sus- pending the countershaft from the tool di- rect.

It is proposed in an improved form of battery to attempt to obtain a record of the quantity of electricity consumed, and thus make the bat tery perform the double duty of storing and measuring.

A report on electric lighting has been pre- sented to the Gas Committee of the Man- chester (England) Corporation by a sub-com- mittee, which was deputed to attend the late electrical exhibition in Paris. The report says that in pursuance of the instruc- tions given to them in March last, and act- ing upon the suggestion contained in the concluding paragraph of the report upon the inspection of electric lighting in London, which was approved by the General Com- mittee in September, the audit, &c., sub- committee have continued their investiga- tion of the many recent improvements in the construction of and modes of using electric lamps, and of their various appli- ances. In considering how the suggestion could be best carried out, the attention of the committee was frequently called to the Paris Electrical Exhibition, but it was cided not to visit it, because a similar exhi- | bition was to be in London early in If:2 Subsequently many of the leading exhibitors in Paris refused absolutely to send their appliances to London, and it at once hecame evident that the Paris exhibition was in all probability the only place where the latest and fullest information could be obtained respecting the most important matters likely to affect the interests of the gas committee. Without accurate information of the present state and prospects of electric lighting, the committee felt they would neither be in a position to form a sound opinion upon the advisability of completing a portion of the new gas works, nor adequately prepared to ‘| meet opposition to their application for Par- liamentary powers in relation to electric lighting. Hearing that the exhibition would close on Dee. 17, the sub-committee met on Oct. 31, when, after fully discussing the matter in the light of the information which had been gathered, they determined to appoint a deputation, Colisisting of the chair- man or deputy chairman of the General Committee, and the chairman or deputy chairman of the Gaythorn, Rochdale Road and Street Mains sub-committees. By the assistance of the Earl of Crawford and Balearres (the British Comnnissioner) and several of the leading exhibitors, the depu tation were able to utilize the limited time at their disposal in a careful examination of the more important of the numerous exhibits, and in the acquisition of reliable information concerning them A description is given of the ditferent ma chines and batteries inspected, special stress being laid upon the practica! value of Faure’s sect ndary battery, fo toring electrical energy. In connection with the supply of electric light for domestic purposes on Faure’s system, the committee say that it lamp in use, and the methods adopted by dif ferent inventors for distributing electricity. In conclusion the report says: ‘* The deputa tion confesses that they were surprised to note the enormous development which has recently taken place in the application of | electricity to industrial purposes. The im provements in carbons, lamps and regulators and in apparatus of every description con- nected with electric lighting, are almost in numerable. Many of the objections previ ously raised to the use of electricity for lighting purposes have been overcome One of the greatest problems—namely, that of subdividing the light without loss —has been _ practically worked out With the meager information obtained on the subject of cost, it is doubtless still a difficult one. The fact that the powerful companies formed for the manufacture and supply of the various apparatus are at present unable to meet the demand upon them is evidence that electric lighting is rapidly growing in public favor. There is, no doubt, ample margin in the prices at present charged for some of the lamps and apparatus to allow of a considerable reduction which would stil! leave a substantial profit. The Edison lamp, for instance, which is sold at 4/, is said to cost 1/514, while the Swan lamp, a very similar one in construction, was sold at 25 and it is clear that at the reduced price of 12/6 there still remains an enormous profit for the inventor. It may be noted, as indi cating the position now being assumed by electricity, that one of the leading exhibitors expressed his willingness to undertake its supply ata price not exceeding the price at present charged for ga the illuminating power to be quite equai to that of gas, and he claimed that he would at the same time realize a large profit. At each stage of their inspection the deputation hecame more im pressed with the advantages which must necessarily result froin wir visit, not the least of which was the opportunity they had of explaining to the satisfaction of the chief representatives of the leading electric light ing companies the objects of the corporation in seeking Parliamentary powers for lighting by electricity It was unusual to hear expressions of surprise that the Mancheste: Corporation, with its enormous gas undertak- ing, did not, in common with many other corporations aud companies (among whem may be mentioned Birmingham, Banbury Blackburn, Bristol *and Leeds), put in an earlier appearance at the exhibition I The long talked of exhibition of nativ: manufacturers was opened in Rio de Janei December 12 A correspondent says it hardly calculated to give a high idea of manufacturing piri of the Brazilian na which is, in fact, not distinguished as inventive and administrative talent Only in railroad and tram-road cars and machinery for coffee plantations is there any decided advance, and even in these it is to be recog nized that in almost every case the real creator of the so-called ‘‘ native manufac ture’ has been the foreigner or his immedi ate descendant The ship Garfield, recently keunched at Belfast, Ireland, is the largest sailing vessel ever constructed of steel Her dimensions are: Length, 292 feet; breadth of beam 24 feet go inches: depth, 41 fee — own OF _— 4. *) 28 2.
