Pete Conway Shows Up in Old-Time Tom. OABSMAN STAXTO.VS BIG CHALLENGE There was any amount of excitement at the pedestrian contest in the Central rink yesterday, the racing was terrific and pro bably 5,000 paid ibr admission daring the day. The building was crowded with inter ested spectators from daylight in the morn ing until long after midnight. Several of the contestants had not closed their eyes in sleep from the time of starting up to 2 o'clock this morning. Partizan feeling was running high all day, not only among the pedestrians but also among their friends i ho looked on. Long before last nigbt-fall the crowd was in a sense broken up into sections in the way of having their respect ive favorites. Betting is strictly prohibited, but the intense interest in the struggle is none the less exciting to the spectators. All day j esterday the pace was a killing one, .and when it is stated, that Hegel man covered tbe first 100 miles in 16 hours and 36 minutes on the 16-lap track sporting people will have an idea that matters were pretty lively. So far the race has, to put it mildly, been a desperate one; souch so that if tbe pace is not slackened many will fall by tbe wayside. FIGHTING FOB THE LEAS. When daylight dawned Hegelman was in the lead, closely pursued by Connors, "Williams, Day and Cartwright. The first named pegged away at a clipping gait, and many conjectured that he would soon collapse. He showed no signs of distress, however, nor did Connors. Cartwright began to weary, at least he took matters comparatively easy. Williams kept up a vigorous gait, and by dint of pluck and steady plodding tbe loquacious little Sammy Day got into third place. Day never lay down in bed for a minute. He cood-natnredly wobbled round and round with no apparent signs of wcaknening. Hegelman, however, displayed good speed, and at 5:36 o'clock in the evening he reached the "centurj" amid ringing cheers. He was at once paid his $10. A lew minutes later Connors reached the 100 mark ana got his "tenner." Cartwright three miles behind came next: then Day and then 'Messier. Each received $10 for covering 100 miles in 24 hours. After Hegelman had covered 1U2 miles he re tired and took a rest of 1 hour and 20 minutes. Connors then took the lead and held it until midnight, when Hegelman again went to the front. Hegelman, Connors, Day and Cart wright were all in good condition, and showing no signs of distress. THE SICK MEJT. It was different with Noremac and Golden. Tbe former became exceedingly feverish, and large red spots appeared on his face and brow. He stuck to his work gamely, however, and as midnight approached be seemed to be getting better. Golden needed all the coaxing that his attendants could command to keep him on tbe tracK. He was in bad shape all tbe afternoon. A sleep of 20 minutes and several presentations to him of bouquets and baskets of fruit seemed to revive him and he easilv scored bis 100 within the limit. Adams moved along well and so did Messier. The latter took a rest of two hours when he had made his 10 sure. Undoubtedly one of the most interesting "features of the contest is old Norman Taylor, the "pie-eater." Norman is 59 years old and was champion more than 20 years ago. He is a remarkable old man, without any trainer or money, but plenty of grit. It is rcall v aston ishing how tbe old man speeds round the track mile after mile without sleep and precious lit tle refreshment. He is determined "to show the young 'uns how to stay." Andy Seibert, tbe Penn avenue representa tive, Ss surprising ever body. He scored his 100 miles in great style, and he looked early this morning as if he "ill be a stayer. However, nobody knows what a day may bring forth in a 112-hour race. The leaders may "crack" at any moment, although tbey did not look like it early this morning. Cox be came extremely sick early yesterday and was forced to retire. He was unable to come out of his cot an day. Many good judges still cling to Cartwright orNoremac as the winners at the finish. One thing is certain, however, viz.. if Hegelman and Connors can bold out m any thing like their stjle of yesterday nobody will catch them. MrDJTIGHT SCENES. Connors left the track at 11:30. and his exam ple was followed bj a dozen others. At mid night there were only four contestants on the track, and two of them were struggling to reach tbe 100-mile mark before 12:45, These two were Nolan and Mackey. The former accomplished the task with plenty to spare, but Alackey had an ex citing struggle to make it He was completely exhausted, and at 12:15 bad only two miles to go. He registered TO at 1221, and fell to the chair, sick at the stomach. He was cheered on his journey and resumed his task, which he completed, with a few minutes to spare, and went to bed. At 1 o'clock things brightened up and there were about a dozen peds on the track, includ ing Hegelman. Noremack had reappeared feeling sick and sore. Siebert was surprising everybody bv the vigor and stamina he was showing. Fifteen of the contestants had earned tbe S10 prize for the 100-mile task and a pleasant feeling obtained. The crowd of spec tators was large, despite the early hour of morning. Connors reappeared on the track at 1:45 and was cheered. Hegelman was then al most a mile ahead. of him. Golden went off the track to have a bath at 11:45, and bad not returned at 2 o'clock. Following was the score alio ciock Miles. 1 Miles.

Jacob Scbaefer, the champion billiard player of this country, was in tbe city yesterday visit ing his wife, who is ill in Allegheny. The famous "wizard" of the cue was looking ex tremely well, and had much to say about bil liard matters. During a conversation he said: "I am willing to play either Slosson or any body else for a stake worth playing, and under any conditions that are at all reasonable. I don't know definitely what my summer pro gramme will be, but my business is good in Chicago. The billiard prospects are excellent; the number ot good players is getting larger every year." The cnampion went on to say: "Eugene Carter is a good man in tbe profession, and he deserves a good send off on his departure for Europe. I think he will begiven a grand bene fit at the Madison Street Theater, New York. All the leading experts will be present. There will likely be a four-banded game among tbe prominent players. When abroad Carter will tackle Vignaux, Gamier and others." Ihe champion left the city last evening for the West. Thinks It Was Fixed. New Tobk, April a Tommy Holden, tbe feather-weight, said to-day: "Murphy doesn't appear to be on tbe square in our proposed match, and I am going to turn my attention to Tommy Warren, who is now in this city keeping dark. 1 will fight Weir, Murphy or Warren to a finish at 118 pounds, first come, first served, for $1,000 or upward.

MAKING E00LED THEM THIS TIME. - Pittibnrc'a Champions Light Onto Too der Alie'n Men -War Horsei In Line Knebne nnd Nichols' Hitting Conwav'a Gpod Work. rsrrciAi. TxxroEXM to tbk dispatch.! St. Louis, April 8. The Pittsburg team re turned to-day, devoid of the Rip Van Winkle ism that marked its initial appearance last week. Tbe old ''war horses" in the combina tion have recovered their celerity, while the yonng blood is fairly bristling with vigor. Pete Conway has been pining for an opportunity to get up against the Association champions, and he was selected by Dun'ap to do the twirling. Pete's arm was In splendid trim, and he deliv ered a very speedy ball, which was sufficiently effective to make the hits scattering. Little Freeman, who bowled out Dunlap's men last week, essayed the trick again to-day, and with the exception of the first three innings, his work was faultless. He held tbe Leaguers down to six hits, whilo his support was not what it should have been by any means. He was unsteady in the beginning, and this mild ness, coupled with some hard hitting by Kuehne and Nichols, won the game for the visitors. Latham and Cudworth made costly errors, but Pittsburg was perfect except a wild throw by Miller. In the first inning after Latham bad struck out, Fuller was given his base on balls and scored on O'Neill's donble to left. Freeman, Sunday and Miller, bases on balls. Miller was forced at second by Beckley, but Sunday reached third. He crossed the plate onapassed ball. In the second Smith was tendered a base on balls, and was advanced to third by Kuehne's hit. Kuehne stole second, and both scored on Nichols' triple to left. Nichols attempted to score on an infleld hit, but was caught between the bases. Latham made a pretty muff and Nichols got back to third, and came in a moment later on Miller's sacrifice. Latham's hit, a steal and O'Neill's single gave the Browns a run in the third. Coleman opened with a double, and "Pop" Smith waited judiciously and was given a Dase. Kuehne hit to center, and Cudworth misjudged it. Cole man and Smith scored, and Kuehne took third. He came In on Nichols' hit to left. In the ninth Duffeo knocked the ball into the right field seats for a home run, and this ended the run getting. Score: ST. LOUIS.

The All-Americas Defeat Anton's Team In a Doll Game. rsrrCIAL TELEGRAM TO TBI DISFATCB.l Bbookitc, April 8. The Chicago and All America ball teams, which have made the circuit of the world since last fall, played their first game to-day since arriving home from their famous trip. The contest was originally intended to be played on the Polo grounds, but as it could not be played there the managers of tbe Spalding party hired the Brooklyn grounds and played the game over there. The 50 cents admission charged did not seem to strike the Brooklyn baseball enthusiasts very favorably, for there were only 2,684 spectators present. Those who did pay their half dollars to see the game did not get much for their money, for the contest was a very weak article of base ball. The Chicagos appeared on the field in their old bluish gray uniforms, while the All Amer icas were in white with a small American flag for a belt. It was a very striking and pretty contrast. There was little or no excitement dnring the game. Anson and Ward were cheered, and at times fine plays were greeted with bursts of applause. Al Reach came all tbe way from Philadelphia to see the game and attend the banquet. The contest was decidedly one sided at the start off. Baldwin was hit hard at times, and the fielding behin d him was very erratic. In fact, as one of the spectators said, it seemed as though they bad not got used to playing on shipboard. The All Americas did by far the better work during the earlier part of the game. The score: ALL-AMER. R B P A E I CHICAGO.

More details of the difficulties encountered by Henry M. Stan ley while exploring the heart of the Dark Continent, were made public this evening by the reading of his letter to the Eoyal Geographical Society, at a meeting of that distinguished bodr. He describes at length the various devices by which the natives endeavored to prevent the advance of the expedition. One of those was to dig shallow pits across the path of the column and fill them with skewers, which were deftly covered with leaves. The skewers pierced the ieet of Stanley's men, inflicting wounds that in many cases devel oped into gangrenous sores. The men who were lamed in this manner were seldom ,of further service. Mr. Stanley calls the natives "cunning rogues," and says that for the purpose of ex tortion they always pretended that the countrv was suffering from a famine. The "frindlies," he says, withheld informa tion, but the natives who were captured by the expedition imparted all they knew. Mr. Stanley believes that the lake he dis covered in 1876 belongs to the Congo. A dispatch from Zanzibar fays the rumor that Stanley and Emin Pasha were march ing in the direction of Zanzibar was an Arab invention. HE DON'T HATE TO GO.

The rieht of legislating private bills has hitherto been vested in Parliament. The measure is, therefore, a step in the direction of home rule.

ISrrCIAI. TZXXQHAH TO TBS EISPATCn.l Columbus, O., April 8.- Judge. Pugh rendered his decision in the famous Church divorce case this morning, granting Mrs. Church a decree of divorce on the ground of cruelty, giving her custody of three chil dren and $400 per annum alimony. After dismissing all of the charges made by plaintiff as disproved, the Judge said: The extreme cruelty, It is said, consisted of inhuman and brutal treatment; of tbe use of violent, profane and threatening langnage toward her, which was so frequent, profane and offensive as to keep ber in constant dread and terror; of ordering her from the table, from his room and bouse; and she avers that the defend ant has so threatened, abused and maltreated her that she was kept in such fear that she was afraid to live in the same house with him. By his answer the defendant denied all the charges made against him in the most positive and explicit terms. He did not plead either justification, recrimination or condonation. The hearing of this case on the evidence was protracted to great length, the records of the evidence numbering about 3,000 pages. Considerable bitterness and asperity was displayed, especially by the plaintiff's side. Counsel argued the case with a degree of ability and zeal which shows that their feelings were enlisted in the case of their clients. The friends of the parties, and indeed the larger part of the community, have taken a deep interest in the controversy. On the charge of cruelty the Court said: Modern law and humanity regard cruelty on the part of the husband, when it is deliberate, extreme and habitual, as not a less flagrant cause for divorce than that of infidelity on the part of the wife. Upoh hearing the evidence, I came to the conclusion that the defendant had an imperious and domineering disposition, which had borne heavily upon the plaintiff. One portion of his. evidence conclusively S roved this, and It also proved a purpose on is part at one time to drive his wife into sub jection to his will. According to the plaint iff's evidence, he called her vile names and told her that he loathed and hated her: that he did not love her at the time of their marriage; that she was the most deformed object be ever saw; that she had the most ragged character; that she had no modesty or shame; that she was not fit to be a wife or mother; and he threatened to put her out of the house the next day, and told her if she was a man he would cowhide her. It does not appear that there is even a possl bilityjof reconciliation between the plaintiff and defendant. They separated under circum stances of scandal and disgrace. Parental love, dread of scandal, regard for social position and other moral considerations did not seem strong enough to prevent tbe separation. The Court finds that the charge of extreme cruelty has been substantially proved, and for that reason a decree of divorce is awarded. The children are to be sent to Mr. Church's residence immediately after dinner every Sat urday and Sunday. IM, YkwL? ' THE WEATHER.

I would not mind saying something if I were Jireptred to do so. But the matter is of such an mportant character that I would like to think over the subject for some time before advancing an opinion. I think that Mr. Carnegie has done the same thing before ho said anything." BIG SHIPPERS DISAGEEE. Produce Commission and Grain merchants Have Various Opinions for or Against Discrimination as Suits Them Best An Interesting Jumble of Business men's Ideas. Among dealers "in country produce the following was the drift: John Aiken, of Aiken & Henry We get along very well with the Pennsylvania Bailroad Company. It gives us good ser vice and we do not complain. It is trne it has always discriminated against us, but in 39 years we have got used to it. Away back in the time when steamboats aid car rying between here and St. Louis the Penn sjlvania Railroad Company delivered flour through its connections from St. Louis to the Eastern cities as cheaply as it did to Pittsburg. Mr. Kenton, of Baxter '&Renton Carnegie's fight against the Pennsylvania Railway Com pany is all right, but had he shown more ardor in shoving the South Pennsylvania Railway project I would think more of him. The P. B, R. service is excellent, but it makes us pay about all our business can stand. Wm. Boehmer, of Boehmer & Co. The P. R. R. does just what any other company would do under similar circumstances. I have no par ticular fault to find with it. Mr. Boehmer appears to be a firm believer in the doctrine of total depravity, and rather seemed to think it was all right. He was rather obscure in his utter ances. Frank Wilbert, of Wllbert Bros. The Pennsyl vania Hallway Company's rates are too high, and It gives us more trouble than any other, by Its In dependent and arbitrary rulings, especially in the matter of demurrage. The company charges a dollar a day for all extra time. If we cannot get a carlo-id of potatoes away, leave Just one load, when the the time comes tbe car Is shut and locked and we cannot get an hour's grace, but must pay a dollar for a few minutes' detention. The offi cials are angry on account of some trouble they htd with our predecessors and we are the victims. We have no trouble with the Pittsburg and Lako Erie Railway Company. We always get a fair show on its line. Comprehensive Unfairness. H. J. McCracken & Co. The Pennsylvania Kail road discriminates not only against Pittsburg, but against the entire State, and has slighted Philadelphia ever since it got its terminus In New York. Henry B. Res We can't fight that company. It gives us good service, but it Is the dictator, and all we can do U to stroke Its fur the right way and get the best terms that can be coaxed out of It. boiners Bros. We think Carnegie is about right. The road gives us good service, but it makes us pay for it. Meyers & Tate The Pennsylvania ralllroad suits us as well as, rather better than, any road coming Into tbe city. Thomas H. McOowan We get better service from the Pennsylvania Ballroad than from any other carrier, but charges are steep. 1 haven't much to say on the subject. Grain dealers were, generally speaking, more pronounced against the Pennsylvania Railroad than produce men, but some of them were not as much "forninst" as others. R. 8. McCague I don't find as much fault with the Pennsylvania Railroad as when it gave re bates so largely to individuals. I don't think It docs much of that now. What is objectionable is the discrimination in favor of particular cltleB, and I hope Mr. Carnegie will keep up the war until we get a State law similar to that of the inter-State commerce act. 1 believe that would maKe tne matter ail rignt. Does It All Come Ont? - B. McCracken While I would not stop the fight between Mr. Carnegie and the Pennsylvania Rail road Company, I don't believe either side tell the whole truth. If the Legislature were disposed to do its duty and provide for the 'enforcement of article 17 of the State Constitution the trouble of which people complain would be abated speedily and effectually, but now for 17 years that article has been allowed to remain a dead letter, while its enforcement would cure all the Ills com plained of. It does not seem that tbe people want relief, for It is not very long since Chauncy F. Black pledged himself to work for the very end they profess to want, If made Gov ernor and placed In a position to do so, and an earnest In this direction had been given, but the people decided by their votea tbat they didn't want It. The enforcement of tbat article would frcventall corporate grievances complained of. t was the work of Jeremiah S. Black and goes to tbe root of the evil. John Hood l'don't talkon such matters for publication until I have considered what I have to say, and I am too busy to-day to give it time for thought. I think a law In the spirit of the Inter State commerce bill would remedy the matter. Prentice & Hackett We have three lines from our works to this city, and. of course, havealltbe competition we want and do not suffer, so We are not personally Interested. Schomaker & Co. The Pennsylvania Railway Company, having no opposition, does about as it pleases with us. We get along very well with It, bnt arc obliged to pet it and take what it sees fit to allow us. we have no trouble with any of the roads. Why They Smile on It. B. A. Voskamp & Co. We get along excellently with the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. Its management gives us a belter show on claims than does any other road and our relations are cordial with it as also with the Ft. Wayne Com pany. We have unsettled claims of 6, 9 and 12 month,!' standing with some railroad com panies, but none of that kind with the Pennsylva nia Railroad or Pittsburg, Ft. Wayne and Chi cago, and both are accommodating In the matter of freight delivery. F. i. Welxel, of Marshall, Kennedy & Co. We can only ship about IS miles on either the Penn sylvania Railroad or the lines controlled by It and compete with other cities, as freights are against us. For Instance, Buffalo can block us at Par nassus. In fact, we can scarcely ship out of the city 25 miles in any direction, and are forced to fill orders by having Western shippers hill di rectly to our customers. At times ne can send stuff to Liverpool or Glasgow cheaper than to points on the Allegheny Valley Railway. Here is a table or rates for March. 18S3, in which yon can See that on our class of freight the rate was 18 cents from Pittsburg to Harrlsbnrg. while It was but IS cents from Chicago to Pittsburg. Western shippers cannot onlv get better rates than we, but can have pauses thrown In. Pitts burg cannot get fair rates West, but the West can get them to anv point. S. B. Floyd I think I would rather submit to the tender mercies of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company than to those of any other we have ever struck In the matter. We have never had any trouble with It, and have no complaint to make. Dllworth Bros. We ship with the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, and have no trouble with it at all and don't expect anv. Sir. Flood, ol Arbuckles & Co.So far as I know we are at peace with all the world, and have no trouble with any railway company. HIGH CLASS SHIPPEES. Tbe Great Drygoods Men Have Little to Say Against Discrimination T. C. Jenkins and Others Come Out Flnt-Footed In Favor of Radical Reform Many Men of Many Minds. Large dealers in drygoods, and other mer chants 'who do a great deal of shipping of the higher class, have divergent opinions on this great topic of discrimination. For example: William Semple My opinion from read ing the Carnegie letters on freight discrimi nation is that Andy has been the recipient of many favors from the Pennsylvania Bail road in the shape of rebates on freight tariff in past years, and the company, I think, politely informed the gentle man tbat such indulgences from it could no longer be expected; hence his hot and hasty campaign against the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. 'Why at this late moment does he bring forth facts of which he has been cogni zant for years? Is there not something signifi cant in thlsT As to the discrimination of the road against Pittsburg and its business houses, I will say nothing, further than that I pay the regular tariff rates, and, if there is any extor tion by the company, I suppose you can class me among the lmposed-upon merchants. Vf. E. SchmerU was engaged; but William Hus ton, manager, answered for him. Said be: "In our business there is bnt little difference Jn tbe freight rates on our goods. There is, or course, a shameful amount of discrimination shown against our city; but what can we do? We have practi cally no redress; no competing line of railroad. Another thing; la many casej with Iron and coke. companies there are Insiders connected with them that are also lnterestedgreatly in tbo l"T2 upon which they ship. This surely would maxe a difference. Squarely on Record. T. C. Jenkins-There are many Inconsistencies and palpable robberies practiced upon us business men of Pittsburg by the Pennsylvania Railroad to our utter helplessness. There Is no other agency by which we can deliver our goods to points East and West, so we have to submit to the inevitable, lam heartlyln favor or Mr. Carnegie and his suggestions as to a specific remedy for tbls great bugbear to the business of our thriving city. The inter-State lahr has not helped us one whit. H. P. Dllworth, of H. P. Dllworth A Co., com mission brokers: "In our business we have an advantage over many firms here, inasmuch as we have an existing competition between tbe Penn sylvania Railroad and tbe Baltimore and Ohio be tween here and Philadelphia, whence we bring most of our sugars. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company thought It could compel us to accede to their high rates for freight, but so soon as Phila delphia was touched by a competing road Just so soon we left the Pennsylvania Railroad and its monopolistic rates. The latter said we could not do it successfully. We have. Just tho same, and with unqualified success. This talk of the Pennsylvania Company snub bing Mr. Carnegie, and, further, that ne resorted to the school-boy method of retaliation In expos ing tbe outrages practiced, is all twaddle. He Is too much of a business man, alive to his every In terest, to enter Into such a controversy without having some good foundation for filets. Anyhow, his motive is to be commended, and, I think, he is perfectly right in his charges. Joseph Home & Co.'s shipping agent, Mr.Shay, said he didn't know whether tho discrimination or rates hurt their business or not. He had "just glanced at Mr. Carnegie's letters; no opinion, oodday." A Palpable Inlastice. George Preston, of the St. Clair Coal and Coke Company The rates on coke are most exorbitant, and much higher than coal, which should not be, from the ract that tbe coke is easier to handle, is cleaner, and Is unloaded Jnst tbe same as Its cousin-coal. Mr. Carnegie is perfectly right: butheis doing just what should have been done 20 years ago. Pittsburg undoubtedly has been subjected to a higher freight traffic than any other city in the country, and had she not been a wealthy town she would have been ban krupt sure. Frank McCllntock, of Oliver McClIntock & Co., carpets and furniture Tbe chief point with us Is the damage done toour trade within a radius of 100 miles or Pittsburg. The retail merchants come In and say: "We can buy the same goods in New York or Philadelphia, and have a greater variety to select from, and still pay the same freight tariff from these points as from Pittsburg to their destination. Mr. Buhl, of Boggs & Bubh Alleghcny-I am hardly prepared to say anything regarding the subject you broach, but it is most apparent that we jobbers suffer immensely from the grasping hand of monopoly I.e., the Pennyslvanla Rait road. I was In hopes of the South penn project materializing, but, since that has sunk deep Into the mire of oblivion, we must abide by It philo sophically. I hope, however, some other channel may open soon which will serve as an antidote from tne present "cinch" or the Pennsylvania Railroad on rates. Max Klein, liquor merchant, Allegheny, was In favor of anythfng which would prove "strong enough to down the greatest outrage known in tbe history or railroads." Mr. Wilson, or the Chautauqua Lake Ice Com pany, Is quoted as saying that Plttsbnrg has to pay more freight on Ice than any other city in the United States. Any number of business men were seen who heartily advocated the movement to stop dis crimination, as proposed by Mr. Carnegie, and to bring our city within the realm of reasonable railroad rates. BAILBOADS AND COAL. Mines Farthest From tbe Lakes and Easiest Worked Pay the Lowest Freight Rates . Competing Lines and Small-Fry Roads Delighted toSeethePennsy Pitched Into, Yet Afraid to Peep for Publication. At least some railroad men are found who admit that the Pennsylvania road has been discriminating against Pittsburg; but as the fight is not their own, they have no desire to appear in print as the champions of the shippers. The coal operators have been complaining of unjust discriminations for some time. The decision of the inter-State Commission in favor of the railroads in the Imperial Coal Company's case was a severe blow to those who had banked on a different ruling. The coal men claim that they haven't made anything in the business for two years, and the refusal of the roads to give them better rates only ados to their misery. Within what is known as the 40-mile radius of Plttsbnrg all the lake shippers In this territory are given the same rates to Cleveland; that is, a coal operator 40 miles up the Pemlckey road doesn't par any more to. hare his coal sent to Cleveland than tbe operator atChartlers. The coal men would have no fault to find with this arrangement If they were equally situated; but here is where tbe millstone grinds. Tbe coal veins along tbe Pemlckey and Pitts burg. Virginia and Charleston roads are higher up, the coal is softer and easier mined than the 'coal lying below Pittsburg on tbe Ohio river. The Pittsburg, Virginia and Charleston operators pay less for their mining, and. favored by the rail roads besides, they are able to more tban compete with the other lake shippers less favorably situ ated. The latter are outspoken against the rail roads, and hold tbat the operators further re moved from the lake than themselves should pay more freight than they do. A merchant had occasion to shin roods into Jefferson county from Pittsburg not long ago. He went to the railroad people, ana tbey gave him an excessive rate. "Why. this is exorbitant, " said the shipper In astonishment. "Butwe can't do any better, " persisted the freight agent; "and we will get your business anyhow; you can't send It on any other road." "Rather than be fleeced In this manner," re plied the merchant, "I will show you whether I can't do better. I can order the goods from Phila delphia and have them sent from that city over the Philadelphia and Erie road, and your line won't get a cent, and It won't cost me as much." v nen tne agent saw ine man meant ousiness, he reduced the rate like a flash. This la only an example of how Pittsburg merchants are treated by roads in the State having no competition. Plenty of such incidents are picked up by re porters every day. Tbe attack ol Mr. Carnegie on the Pennsyl vania road Is enjoyed with a sort of ghoulish glee by that line's competitors, and. when an attempt is made to put them in the same boat; It is surpris ing what mental agility they can display in de fending the Pennsylvania's position as well as their own. "You can tramp on my neighbor's corns as much as you please, but don't trod ou mine, for heaven's sakel" Is the secret of their policy. Reporters are given stacks of figures and statistics for their own information; but. like tbe faces or Turkish women, these valuable facts must not appear In the newspapers with names of railroaders attached. ANOTHER PEOTEST BEC0EDED. The Citizens of Phlllpsbnrg Want an End Fat to Discrimination. ISPECliX TH.EOEJJI TO THE D1SFATCH.1 Phiupsbubg, April 8. A meeting of coal operators, employes and representative busi ness men was held in this place this evening to protest against the discrimination that has been a characteristic of tbe railroads tapping this region, tbe result of which has been materially felt in business circles. The Dill now pending in the Legislature aiming to remedy, this evil was thoroughly discussed, and met with general approval. In response to Powderly's sugjestion a mem orial is circulating, and receiving numerous signatures, to be forwarded to Senators and Representatives urging the passage of the bill.
