MORE DEMANDS ARE MADE.
The Trainmen Sow Present a List of
Grievances.
SO EKD OP THE WAR IN SIGHT
The public must be thrown into another
suspense over the railroad difficulty. In
stead of nearing a settlement, the atfair
toot a turn yesterday afternoon and
is now spreading. The propositions
made by the companies last Satur
day nave proven an incentive for
employes in all other departments, and be
ginning with the trainmen, who presented
their grievances yesterday, they will follow
in the footsteps of the switchmen and pre
sent demands for increased wages. The fol
lowing is a complete copy ot the trainmen's
grievances:
We, the vardmen. employes of the Pittsbure,
Ciucinnatfand bt. Louis Railway and members
of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, are
desirous of presentinc the following griev
ances, and we pray that you carefully consider
the same:
L We request that ten hours or less shall
contltute a day. or live hours or less shall con
stitute a half day, and for all lime over the
abmc stated we to receive overtime on the
same basi, the pay to be as follows: Day con
ductors, S2 75; day brakemen, 2 SO; night con
ductors, J2 JHfc night brakemen, $2 TO.
AX HOUR TOE DINNER.
We feel, in order to give faithful and careful
attention to duty, a full hour should be al
lowed for dinner and rest; e further request
that no crew shall be compelled to work short
banded. We further request that yard crews
shall not be required to furnish engines with
either coal or rand.
In presenting these grievances for your con
sideration it is our aim to maintain harmonious
relations between your company and its em
ploes, and we hope that the same will be ac
cepted by the officers of your company in tae
same manner aud spirit in which they have
been presented.
Trusting that you will favor us with an early
reply, we are
Yours very respectfully.
The list of crierances was signed by the
men employed on each road, and presented
to the Panhandle, Baltimore and Uhio,
Pennsylvania Railroad, Pittsburg and Lake
Erie, Ft. Wayne, and the Valley compa
nies. They will be presented to the other
roads to-day. The systematic manner in
which the work of yesterday was done is
marked by the hand ot t3. E. Wilkinson,
Grand Master of the Brotherhood ot Rail--way
Trainmen, who has been in the city ior
two days, getting his men in line to per
form their part in the attempt to secure
more wages.
Mr. Wilkinson was seen last nitrht by a
Dispatch reporter, to whom he intimated
that matters might have been further ad
vanced bad everything been done in order from
the beginning- -But," said be, "things were
mixed. The fact is the local people did not un
derstand their business. We would never have
interested oursches if the men had ln-
sisted on answers from the companies in 24
hours. Thee matters must be presented in an
orderly manner, and the companies onght al
ways to have a reasonable time to
consider matters. Then both sides should al
waj s be willing to make concessions."
NO END IN SIGHT.
Mr. Wilkinson said be had seen some of the
Superintendents during the day. bnt could not
give out wnat results, if any, had been reached.
When asked hen the end might be expected,
he said: "When the companies present us with
their ultimatum. Tbey have not told ns they
would not make more liberal concessions than
tbey offered last (Saturday, but all
tlio officials have been notified that
the men would not accept the
propositions. The principal point now at issue
Is the wages. "The Pennsylvania Railroad
Company." said Mr. Wilkin-on, '"promised our
Eeople three years ago to advance their wages,
ince then they have purchased 6,000 cars. 000
engines, have paid large dividends and are in
good shape, and no increase has been granted.
They give as a reason that the inter-State com
merce law has hindered their business. Well,
I don't believe it"
The other members of the Sunreme Council
are said to be on their way to Pittsburg, and
will arrive in a day or two. Mr. Sergeant was
in California last week, but it was stated last
night that he had been called East. These are
not all the features that put a more interesting
pnae on the situation. The local Grievance
Committee met last night and received a com
mittee from the non-union employes ot the
Baltimore and Ohio road, which gave the as
surance that their men would stand by the
Feder. ion from now on.
Anotuer meetins of non-union men was held
yesterday afternoon at Twenty-ciehth street.
An effort was made to adopt an anti-Federation
list of grievances, but it nas defeated almost
unanimously. The 13 men who voted for them
last week took their stand yesterday with the
union men and pledged their support.
STICKING TO THE TEST.
The emoloyes of the Fort Wayne road held
a meeting in the reading room on Washington
avenue, Allegheny, last night. Superintendent
Btarr attended the meeting and addressed his
men. He said he hoped that an amicable set
tlement will be arrived at, but after he left the
men decided to remain hnn on their former
demands.
Several officials were seen yesterday, but all
of them declined to talk on the situation.
Grand Master Downey said yesterday that un
less a settlement is arrived at to-dav. he w ill
consider be has done his duty and will ask the
Supreme Council to take up the matter, and if
that body reaches no settlement a strike
will be the result. The men seemed
more determined last night than ever to
have their demand granted, and the wonder of
all s.Kiken to was how had they gotten their
backbone strengthened. The General Griev
ance Committee met last night, and were ad
dressed briefly by II. H. Bengougli, who said
that while all he knew of the trouble was what
he read in the newspapers, his sympathies were
with the mej, and be hoped they would be able
to gain their points.

Came Four Fire Alnrin and Create No
I.lltle Excitement.
Sparks from a locomotive set fire to the roof
of I.emA Son's bolt and nut factory. South
Twenty-ninth street, yesterday afternoon.
Alarm ISS was rung, and little damage resulted.
However, no little excitement was caused, from
the fact that this is the fourth alarm sent in
lately from fires started by locomotive sparks.
It is raid the locomotive that has caused the
mii-chief ha' no spark arrester.
Tbe residents of the Twenty-fourth ward fear
that a fire from a similar cause may be started
in the night, and prove more disastrous tuan
the others.
COMPLli.M.NG OF CUUEIrr.
Charle Unfcr and Wife Chnrxed With
Renting n Child.
TJrsela Link sued Charles Unice and his wife
for cruelty t.i her child. Mrs. Link said her
husband was killed on tbe railroad, and Mrs.
Unice. her niece, was given tbe child to raise.
When the mother, went to reclaim the child
at Homestead, she says she found it bruited
and covered with welts. She showed the child
to Alderman Jone. and he doclarea the case
has not been overdrawn.
NEW SPEAK-EAST MOVE.
Raids on iho riouse Stopped Only the
Proprietor to ho Arrested The Offend
er Will be bent to Conn Workbome
Sentence.
A new move has been inaugurated by the
police department against the proprietors of
sneak-easies. Instead of raiding the bouses,
as has been the custom, Inspector McAleese
will pursne a different course. His officers
bare orders to secure evidence against
the houses and an information will be made.
The proprietors only will be arrested and
jailed for a hearing. The cases will be sent to
court, and instead of a trivial fine tbo speak
easy people will likely get a permit for a stay
at tbe workhouse from three months to two
years. The same plan will he followed all over
the city, and on the Soutbside Inspector
McKelvy expects to flood the court with speak
easy cases.
The proprietors of seven establishments were
arrested up nntil midnight last evening and it
is reported that many more will be bagged to
dav. The first arrest was that of Mrs. Mary
Urban, alias McMabon, alias Rupp. of No. 78
Cherry alley. Detective Bendel made the ar
rest. He said tbe house was so filthy he could
scarcely stand the odor. Mrs. Urban's house
has been the resort of the most degraded class
in the city.
wiiuam Miner, of so. ui r ourtn avenue, was
next brought in by Detective Robinson. Miller
is 51 years of age and thoncht to be drlngof
consumption. He washer tup for Sunday-selling
about a year ago, but persists in that business
in spite of all warning by the police officials.
He has a number of children.
James O'Neill, of Hilt street, Hardscrabble,
was the next victim, brought in by Captain
Dan Silvus. O'Neill's place was raided a few
Sundays ago, and he was fined 25 and costs.
Since then he has been very wary, and has re
sorted to various schemes to defeat the law.
Last Sunday he was caught selling bottles of
whisky to his thirsty friends on tbe street. As
soon as his stock was exhausted he would re
turn to bis house for nfore bottles.
Jimes DagnaU, of No. 271, and Jacob Harris,
of No. 282 Second avenue tbe Yellow row dis
trictwere brought in about 11 o'clock. Tbey
have been doing business for somo time, bnt
were careful and bard to catch. The police
believe Harris' wife is really more guilty
than he.
John Steiner, of No. 2S3 Second avenue, was
brought in about 11:3a
Lieutenant Dennison shortly after mid.
night arrested Kate CordelU of SecondAve
une, near Yellow Kow, as one of tbe number
against wbom Inspector McAleese lodged in
formation for illegal liquor selling. She was
locked up in Central station.
A DIVIDED STREET.
Hoir Federal Street Became at Oace Wet
nnd Dry Special Election In Two Alle
Bheny Words GreckT and Habler Sac
cefal.
That part of Federal street in Allegheny
that runs along the line of tbe First ward,
presented yesterday the anomalous condition
of being a strictly prohibition street as to its
west side, and an emphatically anti-prohibition
street as to its east side. Its west side
was dry. Its right side was wet. Longi
tudinally it presented a similar condition to
that which Strenhon of Iolanthe presented
altitudinally. It was half good, half bad.
The geographical center of Federal street
was practically a water-shed, from which the
patriots sloped to whisky toward the East and
to politics witbont whisky toward tbe West.
The obliging saloon man on the West Side
stood in lront of bis door and explained: "Bar
is closed; always closed on election day; step
across the street, mv friend."
Along this somewhat curious water-shed the
course of the special election day events ran
very quietly. In the First and Second Alle
gheny wards successors were chosen to E. S.
Hartman and James Bell for Select aud Com
mon Councils.
The candidates for Select Council in the
First ward were 8. D. Hubley, Thomas John
son and Ellsworth Larimer. The vote by dis
tricts was as follows: First district, Hubley,
62: Second district, Hubley, 37; Johnson, 6;
Third district. Hubley, 40; Larimer, 15; Fourth
district, Hublev, S3; Larimer, 11; Fifth district,
Hubley, 23: Sixth district, Hubley. 25. Total
Hubley, 220; Larimer, 26; Johnson, 6.
In the Second ward tbe candidates for Com
mon Council were James P. Gregg. Jr., and J.
M. Hanna. Gregg was elected by a large ma
jority. F. J. Torrance received one vote in the
Second dixtrict. The vote stood: First district
Gregg, 31; Hanna, L Second district Gregg,
20; F. J. Torrance. 1. Third district Gregg, 25.

WATER FOR OAKLAND.
The Bureau Will Spend About 8150,000
for Improvements.
Superintendent Brown, of the Water Depart
ment, stated yestetday that tbe bureau would
spend about 150,000 in mains and other im
provements this summer. Oacland will be
given a sufficient supply of water. A 30-inch
main is now being laid from Roup street to
Ellsworth avenue, along Ellsworth to Neville,
thence to Henry street.
From there will be run a 24-inch main to
Dithridge street, to Forbes, to Soho, about
Brady street. There will then be a number of
cross connections. One connection will be
with the 30-inch main on Lilac street. A 15
inch connection will be rnn to Fifth avenue at
Neville street. Another connection will be
made at Fifth avenue, near Ward street. A
12-inch will be made at Bates street, which will

DK0PPING THE BARS.
Railway Conductors May Withdraw
Their Anti-Strike Featnre,
AT THE CONVENTION NEXT MONTH.
The New Clinton Mill and Furnace to be
Blown in To-Daj.
COAL MINERS OFFICERS IN THE CITI
At the next annual convention of the
Order of Railway Conductors, next month,
it is probable that the anti-strike clause of
the constitution of the association will be
withdrawn, and the way opened for any
division to go on strike if the members see
fit. "Ways and means will also Be devised
for a standing committee to confer with all
railroad organizations, to deal with any
common grievance which may arise.
W. O. Beckley, chief conductor ofKaw
Valley Division, No. 65, of fit. Louis, the
largest division of conductors in the United
States, was in the city yesterday visiting
friends. Mr. Beckley is a conductor on the
Wabash road, and one of the most conserva
tive men in the organization. In speaking
of the order, he said it was growing in
membership monthlv. It now has about
20,000 members, in 363 divisions or local
branches in the United States and is repre
sented on nearly every railroad in the
country. The order is an insurance and
beneficial organization and the lines are
narrowly drawn on labor matters. The
constitntion forbids the members from en
gaging in a strike, aud having nothing in
common with labor organizations the order
refuses to go into the Federated Order of
Kail way Employes.
EXTENT OF TBE ORGANIZATION.
The annual convention of the organiza
tion will be held in Eochester, N. Y.f be
ginning Tuesday, May 13, and will be in
session about ten days. Each division is enti
tled to one delegate, and there will be over SCO
conductors at tbe meeting.
In speaking ot wbat would likely bo done
Mr. Beckley said: "There is a feeling on the
part of hundreds of conductors all over the
country to have the clause in tbe constitution
forbidding strikes withdrawn. There is no real
necessity for this, as none of us want to engage
in a strike. If any attempt was made
to get the conductors out I think it would
result in a Oat failure. The men who want
the constitution changed think tbe lines are
too closely drawn, and the change will probably
be made. If a strike was agitated in any par
ticular locality, the local division in that sec
tion would handle it just as the majority of
members choose. If the division wants to
strike there would be nothing to prevent them
If the change was made.
rue federated noay oi runway employes
have been after us, bnt as we have nothing In
common with tbe organizations they rep
resent there Is no reason why
we should go in. We maintain the
same grounds .that tbe entrineers do. At tbe
convention, however, an effort will be made
toward tbe appointment of a committee to con
fer with the other railway organizations when
a grievance turns up In any locality. The other
associations think we should federate with
them, and tho proposed scheme would, in a
measure, fill tbe bill, without placing our or
ganization in a position where it could be con
trolled in a labor trouble. If tbe committee is
appointed tbey will ask for tbe appointment of
similar committees from the other organiza
tions. Tbe joint committees will compose a
kind of conference board, and should anything
of a national character turn up, they would be
able to handle It.
WILL LEAVE IT ALONE.
"No, the convention will not touch the recent
discharge of Pennsylvania conductors in this
vicinity. There may have been good cause for
their discbarge and there may have not.
Spotters, as a general rule, will report a con
ductor to show the officials that the former are
earning their salaries, when the reported men
are tbe best conductors on the road. I knew
of a case once that had better be illustrated
locally as follows:
"Suppose a passenger gets on a Panhandle
train at Pittsburg with an old unused ticket for
Steubenville and wants to go to Dennison, He
gave the conductor tbe ticket and a $5 bill.
Out of the latter tbe conductor took the man's
fare from Steubenville to Dennison. A spotter
on the train reported the conductor as collect
ing fare from Pittsburg to uenmson and only
turning in the portion from Steubenville to
Dennison. The spotter had been traveling
around on the road for weeks, and could not
nnd a case to report. He was in desperate
straits, knowing that be would be discharged
if it was found tbat he was not doing anything,
so he reported the conductor. A case of this
kind could be handled with good effect by tbe
order, as it affects the standing of every con
ductor in the country."
WON'T HaYE MUCH WEIGHT.
W. J. Dillon Talks About the Opposition to
the McKInley Bill.
In speaking of the reported remonstrance of
two Massachusetts glass manufacturers against
the Increased tariff of the McKinley bill. Sec
retary Dillon, of the A. F. G. W. U., said yes
tetday: "In the first place, one of the factories
mentioned, the Union, in Somerville, is a non
union factory, and I don't believe the Mt.
Washington, at New Bradford, would sign such
a petition to Congress, for the reason that they
make a class of goods the market for which is
largely supplied by the European market.
"Tbe Gillanders, of Philadelphia; Phoenix
and Ft. Pitt, of Pittsburg; Northwond, of Mar
tin's Ferry: Gill Bros, and Murrav it Co., Phil
adelphia; Hibbler A Raus, F. Thill, Strong,
Myers and Ravenswoods, Brooklyn, and Libbey
& Co.. of Toledo, are all in favor of the bill,
and I cannot see that a petition from two
firm, one of which is a non-union concern, will
have much weight."
SECRETARY WATCH0EN HERE.
He Will Address a Sleeting of Miner In
Scottdale To-Klght.
Secretary Robert Watchorn, of the United
Mine Workers, was in tbe city yesterday. He
held a conference with Wm. Kerf oot, of Scott
dale, in regard to the pending strikes in the
Scottdale region. Both gentlemen left last
nleht for Scottdale, where Mr. Watchorn
lectures to-night on Kerfoot's plan for better
ing tbe working classes.
A conference of operators and tbe miners'
committee of the Smithton region is to be held
to-day, and the scale submitted by the miners
will be fully discussed. Both parties are san
guine of a satisfactory settlement. The miners
demand the Columbus rate for mining.
KEYSTONE STRIKE SETTLED.
Four Handred Men Gain Their Point After
Five Weeks Idleness.
The Keystone Mill strike was settled yester
day. About 400 men have been ont for flvo
weeks. Tbe difficulty was in regard to some bad
iron which the men were compelled to work
over. The terms of the settlement included an
agreement by tbe firm to pay for wbat iron the
men bad worked, and to pay In the future for
all Iron ordered worked over by the managers.
During tbe strike the men were paid full
benefits for three weeks by tho Amalgamated
Association.
BT WOMAN'S FAIR HAND.
Mr. Hoflstot Will Light tbe Fire Coder the
New Clinton Furnace.
Clinton mill and blast furnace will resume
operations to-day. The mill has been remod
eled and the blast furnace entirely rebuilt. In
tbe mill new engines and rolls were substituted
for those formerly in use. Three batteries of
new boilers were put In.
The new blast furnace is 80 feet in height,
and has a capacity of 600 tons per week. Last
night tbe new blast furnace was charged, and
to-day the fire will be lighted by Mrs. HoSstot,
wife of one of the proprietors.

Action of the SI. III. P. U.
An official of D. A. 8, Knights of Labor, said
yesterday in regard to the action of tbe M. M.
P. U: "It is exceedingly interesting to hear
members of the Musical Union say tbat an as
sembly of the Knights of Labor is not a union
organization. Tbat is jnst what Mr. Kreil Is
saying by his actions in this matter.
"I tell you. tbe Knights of Labor is likely to

1ES0UKCES OP THE SOOTH.
A Pllt.bnrser Back From Enjeyable
Trip Money Invested in Southern En
lerprlie and Development by PenniyU
ranlan Coal Field and Coke Work.
M. J. Alexander, the hustling promoter
of Charleroi, has just returned from a South
ern trip which will arouse some interest in
Pittsburg, inasmuch as mnen local capital is
invested in various industries in the particu
lar territory covered by Mr. Alexander. He
was a guest of a party headed by Evans K.
Diok, of Wall "street, K. Y., and H. Peale,
of Thomas A. Biddle & Co., Philadelphia,
the capitalist who has managed the $30,000,
000 United Gas Company deal in Philadelphia.
Tbe other gentlemen in tbe party were: J.
Barnes, of Wall street. N. Y.tS. W. Lewis, &
V. Merrick. B. H. Wood, George McCaulL
Colonel George Dunn, A. B. Grubb, Henry
Morris and Sam Griffiths, a Pennsylvania coal
baron, who has taken an enormous contract to
mine and market tbe entire coal production of
the Clinch Kiver valley, tbe section visited.
The trip was made in a buffet car and sleeper,
and was an epoch in the way of delightful en
tertainment, in which Maryland terrapin,
moistened with champagne, played an im.
portant part The Clinch Kiver Railroad forms
the link between the Louisville and Nashville
and Norfolk and Western systems, and will be
completed by the last of next December. It
traverses a valley lined with valuable minerals
and watered by the pellucid Clinch river,
abounding in bass and trout, and the lay or the
land is a pastoral poem. The railroad will form
a through line, with New Orleans, Louisville
and Norfolk as its termini. Tho coal field is
large and the road will reach the Pocahontas
Coke Company's works, where 1,100 ovens are
in constant operation. One thousand cars a
day is tbe company's average.

THE 0BSTRDCTI0NS REM0TED.
S'dewalk Presenting the Appearance They
Had la Ga Brann'a Day.
Within the past two days a great change has
been wrought in the condition of the streets of
the city. Obstructions that havo been covered
with moss since the old days when tbe late
Chief of Police, Gus Braun, made himself
famous, were removed Monday and yesterday,
and as a result, a citizen who stays out late and
is influenced by tbe electric enrrent from
trolley wires, can zigzag his way home without
danger of killing himself by falling over some
thing. In speaking of thp recent move. Police In
spector McAleese said yesterday: "So far we
have had no trouble with people who have been
maintaining nuisances and obstructions. Every
body seems willing to obey the law in regard to
the removal of signs, etc With con
tractors we have had some trouble, on
account of the practice of allowing
mortar boxes and building material to
take up all tbe street In front ot where they
are working. We have urged upon them the
.advisability of putting their material inside the
buildings, and they are complying with our in
structions." Captain Sllvis said: "We are mostly confin
ing oar attention to tbe back alleys, and getting
wagons off the streets at night. As soon as the
byways are cleared up, we will pay more atten
tion to the sidewalks.''
Inspector McKelvy, of the Soutbside, said he
had not entered any more suits. He is waiting
for tbe Supreme Court to decide as to what
really constitutes a sidewalk obstruction. Until
the decision is made, he does not care about
running too much risk.
ONE SIDE CONCLUDES.
View of Incline Plane Companies Still In
cllne Divergently.
The grind between tbe Pittsburg and Mt.
Oliver Incline Plane Company and the Pitts
burg Incline Plane Company, was on again be
fore the Master, D. F. Patterson, yesterday,
Messrs. Schultz, father and son, testifying re
garding damages claimed by plaintiff by
defendant's action. Tbey put the de
tention from operation at 810,000. The
advance in the price of lumber
since tbe time they say they would have con

The Southside-Gels One of the New
Theaters Now Plying About.
'TWILL BE OPEN TAB YEAE'KODND.
Old, Theatrical Men Have It in Hand and
Will See It ThroHgb..
A STOCK COMPANY IN MELODRAMA
The Soutbside is to have a theater. It will
be cheap in price, only 10, 20 and 30 cents
for seats, but tbe best dramas and comedies
that can be produced for that money will be
given. H. A. Thomas aud L. M. Boyer,
two old theatrical men, have leased the Odd
Fellows' Hall, corner of South Eighteenth
and Sarah streets, and on May 5 the house
will be opened by .the Metropolitan Madison
Square Theater Company, in "Only a Con
vict." Messrs. Thomas and Boyle have been lay
ing their plans for some time. They have
secured a long lease on the building, and in
the meantime have put in 1,600 new chairs.
The house will therefore comfortably hold
that many people. There is one horseshoe
gallery and a stage large enough to allow of
first-class work.
PLENTY OF EXITS.
The doors are so arranged that the theater
can be emptied in three minutes, so that in the
event of a fire or a panic the dangers to life
and limb will be greatly lessened. Thirty sets
of scenery, 15 old and as many new, have been
purchased.
Mr. Thomas is well known In Kansas City as
a theatrical manager. Mr. Boyer, the other
proprietor, is an old minstrel man, now living
in Pittsburg. Ho was manager for Primrose
and West for (even years, and at other times
was connected with Haverly and Clevendon's
minstrel companies. He now has three "Madi
son Square" companies on the road, playing In
Her Greed for Gold."
Mr. Boyer, in talking ol his nowventnre, said:
"ThaSouthside needs a place of amusement,
and 1 havo had my eye on tbat part of the city
for some time. This theater will be kept open
all the year around, with two new plays each
week. I already have a considerable part of
tho season booked. A fan will be placed in the
building, to make it pleasant during the sum
mer. A BTOCK COMPANY.
"As the people are'mostly worklngmen, who
can enjoy a good thing as well as anybody
else, the plays will be confined exclusively to
melodrama and comedy. 'East Lynne,' 'Un
der the Gaslight' and The Streets of New
York' are some of tbe plays tbat will be given
in the near future.
"The people will be members of a stock com
pany. Tbe leading lady will be Miss May Noble,
Frank A. Adams will be the comedian, and H.
A. Porter will do character sketches. A full
force of good talent will be maintained all the
year around. There will be performances every
night, with matinees Wednesdays and Satur
days." Tbe Best Treatment for Rbenmntlsm.
H. Mense, a blacksmith at Sigel, HI.,
wrote March 22 that he was very lame with
rheumatism; he could hardly walk, and the
joints of his limbs were badly swollen and
very sore, and so painful he could scarcely
tnrn in bed. His physician advised him to
use Chamberlain's Pain Balm. The effect
'was beneficial from tbe first application, and
be is now able to attend to his regular work.
This medicine has only to be tried to con
vince the most skeptical that it is the best
treatment for rheumatism.

ALLEGHENY'S tsENATORSHIP.
I tbe Queiilon of Consolidation Involved In
the Canvnsf Prreer' Withdrawal.
Speer has withdrawn from the Senatorial
fight on the Northstde, leaving the contest
between Butan, Keeb aud Harbison. A
friend or Senator Butan said, In reply to a
question, as to what the effect ot Speer's
withdrawal wonld be:
"It will benefit Mr. Butan in the Fifth
ward, where both he and Speer reside. Had
Speer remained in the field there would
have been qnite a contest. Now Butan will
have a walkover in that ward. In the
balance of the district the withdrawal can
not aflcct the canvass, because Speer has not
been making a fight for months, and had no
running delegates he could tnrn over to
anyone."
Citizens of Allegheny are beginning to
inquire the reason why the politicians of
Pittsburg are taking so much interest in the
election of a Senator in their district
Pittsburg politicians put up the principal
candidate against Senator Butan and seem
most deeply iuterestld in his success. It is
known that 'this candidate spends nearly all
his time in Pittsburg, that his business in
terests are all there, and the question is
asked: "Has consolidation anything to do
with his candidacy?"
It is known that Mr. Butan went into the
Senate nearly 20 years ago, stood by Senator
Graham in opposing consolidating Allegheny
with Pittsburg, and that he occupies the
same position still. This has become a live
question since the Pittsburg papers have
been advocating consolidation when Alle
gheny becomes a city of the second class, as
it soon will.
The friend referred to predicted that Mr.
Butan will carry 10 of the 13 wards in Alle
gheny and two-thirds of the Bepublicau vote
in the country districts.

KEEPING UP ITS MOYE
The Dnquesne Traction Company's
Contracts for Machinery
TO BE LET IN BOSTON TO-DAY.
Street Sprinklers to be Attached to Cable
and Electric Flats.
DUST" AFFECTING C0NDUCT0BS' LU5GS
Chief Engineer George S. Bice, of the
Duquesne Traction Company, left last even
ing for Boston to place contracts with the
Thomson-Houston Electric Company for
the use of the latter's system on the road.
He will order 1 500 horse-power in boilers
and eight 200 horse-power high-speed auto
matic engines to run the electric generators.
It is expected that the machinery will be ou
its way to this city within a few weeks. The
work ou the power house on Craig street
is being pushed as rapidly as possible, and
an extra effort will be made to have it com
pleted be ore the contracted time.
The Pittsburg Traction Company has a
scheme to sprinkle the streets, which, al
though not original, is a novel idea. It
will place a contract with Studebaker
Bros., tbe well-known wagon manufac
turers of South Bend, Ind,, for a large tank
to hold 1,000 gallons of water. The tank
will be made of wood and will be built on
a fiat car. It will be horse-shoe shape, 10
feet long by 4 feet in diameter each way,
and will be equipped with two levers to
regulate the supply of water to the sprink
ling pipes.
HOW rr WILL TVOEK.
Tbe flat car upon which the tank will
rest will be attached to a cable car, and rnn
through the streets at the same speed as the
grip cars. A man will be stationed on the top
of tbe tank U shut off or turn on tbe water as
tbe case requires.
Tbe tank will be so constructed tbat a slight
spray or a heavy shower can be ejected at the
will of the man in charge. Tbe car will be rnn
out of tbe sheds early eacb morning and will
be kept on the road all day. Tbe object or the
company in running tbe sprinkler is to prevent
dnst from rising and settling in tbe cars. East
of the Washington street power bouse the cars
go so fast that a heavy draft Is caused under
the cars, and tbe dust and dirt are forced
up over the rear dashboard. Within tbe past
tbree or four days tbe dost has been so thick
that it affected tbe throats and lungs of tbe
conductors, who are compelled to stand on tbe
platform. A well-known Oakland physician
lavs he had treated several cases of sore throat
and hoarseness among tbe conductors, cansed
on this account, and tbe flying dust was dan
gerous to tbe lives ot tbe men. It is also inju
rious to new uniforms, to saymothing ot tbe
cars.
Tbe Penn avenue line has been experiment
ing with one of tbe cable sprinklers for the
past tbree or four days and it gives perfect suc
cess. The Second avei.ne electric line and
other traction roads will also probably run the
cars during the summer.
sprinklebs fob the park.
Chief BIgelow, of the Department of Public
Works, yesterday placed a contract with
Josiah F. Day, of the Studebaker Company,
for two 550-gallon sprinklers to be used in
Schenley Park. The chief stated that they
wonld be one of the luxuries of the park, and
be wonld have everything conducive to the
health and the pleasure of the people. Tbe
tanks will be about the same as those used on
the streets by tbe department.
Tbe Birmingham Traction Company yester
day commenced laying tbe track for its new
electric road at South Thirty-fourth street.
Tbe road will run out that much further than
at present. The roadbed will be pnt down very
solidly. T-rails will be used. The track will be
first put down on Carson street to South Tenth,
tbe cars rnnning on Sarah street. In this way
traffic will not be interferred with to any great
extent.
