This book was released on 2017-10-18 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography, Vol. 28 Rolling Mill at Manchester, in Allegheny County, to make iron rails. Connected with this mill were two coke furnaces, built in 1863. The company operated the works until Sep tember, 186 7, when they were leased by Springer Harbaugh. On January 1, 1870, Harbaugh, Mathias Owens took pos session as owners, and on August 1, 1874, they failed, when the manufacture of rails was abandoned. The works them selves have long been abandoned A few other iron-rail mills in Western Pennsylvania, including those which were equipped for the manufacture only of mine rails and other light rails, need not be mentioned. Of these mills those which made rails of heavy sections never at any time pro duced any considerable tonnage. It is a noteworthy fact that Allegheny County, with all its enterprise in the manufacture of iron and steel, did not begin to make rails of heavy sec tions until the Superior Rolling Mill was built in 1865. Iron rails are not now made in Western Pennsylvania, except occasionally a very few tons of light rails for lum ber and mine roads.

That thier meeting was founded in necessity. That altho' we were not confederated, the same principles of equity reason should govern as if we were united by a confederacy - that the four New England states bore the same relation to the Congress that four counties bore to a single state. These four counties have a right to meet to regulate roads - and affairs that relate to the poor but they have no right to tax or execute any other branch of legislation. In like manner the four New Eng States, or any other four states have a right to meet upon matters Wholly indifferent, but they have no right to touch upon continental subjects - that the committee from the 4 New Eng States have touched upon continental Subjects, therefore, the meeting stands in need of the approbation of the Congress.
