"Oars Is not inch an unpleasant life after
all," remarked an old Pennsylvania engi
neer yesterday. "You must cet used to the
business and think nothing of running all
sorts of risks. As ion;; as the atmosphere
is clear I am happy, but, oh my, how I hate
a rain storm. "We have to close the windows
in such cases, and the water runs down the
glass and obstructs the vision.
"Do we let up then? Well that depends on
circumstances. My rule is safety first and
speed afterward. "When I know the track
is clear ahead of me and everything is all
right then I like to raite the hair on timid
la'eo;;ers to let them know they are living.
Ak long as wc stick to the rails, yon know,
it tiocsu't make any difference how fast we
move, but it is mighty unpleasant business
when the encine takes a cranky notion and
insists on walking the ties. Such antics
usually end in trouble; and what a big,
helpless object a locomotive is, anyhow,
lying on its back.
"Engineers hare their little eccentricities.
I used to know one who ran from Beading
to Allentown. He never spoke a word to
nnrone after be started. Be wonld sit there
on his high seat silent and watching the
rails. He was not unsociable, but this was
one ot the rules he followed, and he never
wavered from it, not even for high officials
of the road. That man also seldom had an
accident. The trnth is, the men on the
engines don't have much time to converse.
It keeps the fireman busy to attend to the
boilers, and the engineer has his hands full
wnlching the signals and looking ont to
prevent accidents."
THE SYSTEM EXTENDED.

Since the Weighing and Inspection
Bureau was established about two years ago,
the roads hare saved some money and ship
pers hare found it a difficult matter to give
false classifications or underweights. The
shippers do not object as long as all classes
arc held up to the rack, and so in answer to
complaints inspectors were placed July 1 at
Wheeling, Eellaire, Bridgeport and Mnr
tin's Ferry. In these places there are nail
and iron mills and glass factories,
and the mskers were shippinggoods at their
own classifications. The Pittsburg manu
facturers soon discovered that these people
had the advantage over them, and the sys
tem was extended to provide for these
places. The local agent is C. E. E.

The
inspectors are doing their work in a
quiet way, but most eflectivelv. Another
railroad organization that is making itself
felt is the Pittsburg Car Associa
tion, and the result is that
the lines have a much freer use of their cars
than the had formerly. The agents state
that tne fines for the use of cars bv con
signees over a certain time is no bluff, and
they have discovered that fact by this time.
The result is that once a man Is caught be
seldom allows himself to be fined a second

MR. OLIVER'S TIEWS.
The Supervisor of the Census Maps
Out a Compact City.
TAB fiESPOKSIBILl'TIES ARE GEEAT
What Territory Cosld la Taken in
What Should he Left Ont.
and
A CALM AND THOUGHTFUL AEGDMEHT
The question of consolidating Pittsburg,
Allegheny and some of the out-lying dis
tricts into one municipality, which has been
agitated from time to time during the last
quarter of a century, again comes into
nromlnence as the result of the census which
has just been taken. It Is not my purpose
at present to disouss the matter at length, or
to advance any arguments for or against the
proposed consolidation, I, merely wish to
oner some suggestions as to the extent of the
territory that should be included in the city
if the scheme- Is carried to a consummation.
It has been suggested that the whole
county should be included in the city limits,
following the example of Philadelphia.
Those who advocate this surely aro not
aware that the area of Allegheny county is
757 square miles, while that of Philadel
phia is only 130; nor do they consider that
this would bring under city government
immense tracts of land which cannot, for
generations at least, be used for anything
but farming purposes. In my opinion,
t THE NEW CITY
should 'include only such territory as now
is. or promises in the near future to be,
built up by an urban population, taking
care to exclude 'such districts as have not
shown a marked increase during the last
decade. Territory that Is not advancing in
popnlation and value will not only be a load
for the municipality to carry, but the un
natural union will be a positive detriment
to the land itself, for there is no
surer way of blighting an agricultural
district than subjecting it to the
restraint and expenses of municipal
government. It should also be borne in
mind that a municipality, in assuming con
trol of any district, assumes at the same
time the responsibility of providing it with
water, light, sewerage, fire and police pro
tection, and everything else than can prop
erly be claimed by the people of a olty. To
give such benefits to a thinly settled district
entails enormous expense with no return.
A careful analysis of the censui returns
will show that during the Inst ten years the
maroh of Improvement In Allegheny county
hai been toward tho eait rather than to the
west, Tbe olty of Pittsburg has inorcased
in population about 5,1 per cent, by iar the
greater part of tho In crease being In the
eaiterc wards, while Allegheny, a much
more beautiful olty, boiler planned, and
claimed by Hi people to bo better governed,
ehowi an Increase of only 34 per cent. The
suburban region east or Pittsburg, Includ
ing Wllklnsburg, Uraddook and Sterrett
township (not Inoludlng Draddook borough,
which owes Its Increase to another cause)
hai almost trebled; while the beautiful Olilu
Valley, Iroin the woit line of Allegheny
Oily to Heaver county, haiioareely advanced
at all, Its entire luorease being leu than
8,009. It seems to lue therefore that wi
MUST tOOIC TOWAilD TUB HAST
for the future spread of our population, and
outside of the present lines nf the two cities
and the borotighe Immediately adjululug I
would not add uiuoli terrltoiy, exeent lliit
lying between Ilia present elty Hue and
Turtle eresk. On the Honllislde I would ln
elude the town of Ohartiers, wlileh iln in
Mlewe towmlilp, that part of Ghartlera tnwu
hip bordering on the river, lite boroughs of
Uellalioovar and Knoivllla, Lower Hi, Clair
township and peruana the river irsnt of
Daldwln tewnihlp, lletween the riven I
would add the borough and township nf
Sruddoek, Wllklnsburg, J5'lgewood and
Hterrett towniliini anil on the Norihalde
Bliarpiburg. Etna, Mlllvale, parUf Blialer
township, lleierve township and the bor'
ouhIi of Spring Garden,
MoKeesport, Homestead and the rising
new town nf Duqueine properly belong to
the eltyi but to inolude them within lis
limits would compel ui to take in several
square miles of territory that for many years
to come would be an etpin9 to tne oily
without benefitting It in any way. These
districts, however, can be added irom time
to time, as their population Increases, The
boroughs on the Ohio river, below Alio,
gheny City, are not advancing very rapidly
in population, and for tbe present are
scarcely fit subjects for the expensive ma
chinery of a city government.
WHERE WE WILL BE PLACED,
The population of the several districts
which I would Include iu the new city is as
follows:
Pittsburg 230,000
Allegheny 105,000
Braddock 8,750
Braddock tp,.... 7,600
Bterrett A dge-
wood 1,617
Wllklnsburg..... 4.600
Kliarpsburc 4,003
neserretp 2,904
Burins Garden

iinoxviiie..,
Ueltzboover,
Etna 8,750
MUlval 8,800
Bbalertn. (part) 8,000
Total 401.44S
Here we have a district reasonably com
pact, with the population of a metropolis
and the wealth of an empire. I expect to
live to see the territory comprised within
these lines peopled by a million souls. We
are in reality one people, with a common
business center, common interests, and a
common pride in the community to whose
prosperity ana growtn each ol us feels that
be has in some slight degree contributed. It
is really all one city, whether governed by
one Mayor, or by two Mayors and a dozen
burgesses. Is it not folly for the people of
such a metropolis to allow local prejudices,
political jealousies or causeless fear of in
creased taxation to prevent it from taking
Its proper place among the great cities of
tbe land? Pittsburg now ranks seventh
among our cities in its volume ol business.
It should rank at least that high in popula
tion, where it is now struggling for the fif
teenth or sixteenth place.

to consolidation is widely different from
swhatitwas ten years ago. Then it was
struggling under a heavy debt, mostly In
curred in paving streets which were fast
becoming impassable. To-day, considering
her resources, she is at least as favorably
situated as Allegheny, and perhaps more
so, and has more to offer to the surrounding
districts than they have to give in return.
Bfir population has increased over 50 per
cent her taxable property has more than
doubled in value and not 1 cent has been
added to her indebtedness, but, on the con
trary, it has been reduced nearly one-third.
Her water works, which at one time loosed
like a huge elephant, are capable of sup
plying all the new districts lying
between the rivers, with a strong probabil
ity of "helping out" our Nortbside neigh
bor, who needs it badly. Her worthless
pavements have for the most part been re
placed by new ones, and her new park ex
cels in its picturesque beauty any that I
have ever seen, and in my time I have vis
ited many. She will, therefore, be no por
tionless bride, but will come to the mar
riage altar enriched with a splendid dowrv;
and if she conclndes to take any steps
toward the consummation of the union,
the citizens of Allegheny should ponder
well before they reject her advances.

A HABD CASE TO HANDLE.
Strange Predicament of One of the Ilnnnne
Roclrty'n Agents.
Deputy Humane Agent Berryman is in a
strange predicament over the case of Mrs.
Ann Noble, of North Dallas. She has been
abusing ber daughter, who is partly de
mented. The case of abuse is clear, but as
the daughter is 33 years old she is neither a
child nor an aged person and the humane
agent does not know just how to proeeed
with the case; Mrs. Noble, according to
Mr. Berryman's statements, own -a property
worth about $2,000, near Silver Lake Grove.
Sbe keeps several cows and sells milk, be
side doing washing six daya in the week.
The daughter is a large healthy looking
woman. The mother makes her get up
every morning at 2 o'clock and do a wash
ing. Then sbe has to look After tbe cows,
and after that has to go to private families
and do another washing. When she returns
at night the mother makes her iron tbe
clothes she washed in the morning. J
In addition to this, Mr. Berryman enys
the mother has knocked her daughter down
with a chair, and on another occasion run a
hot iron over her daughter's bare arm when
she refused to work. He says the girl is
covered with cuts and burns.

THE OTHEB KEWS FROM THE CODETS
The assignees of the. defunct Farmers
and Mechanics' Bank, of the Southside,
John Henry Sorg, H. J. Berg, Jr., and L.
S. Cunningham, yesterday filed their an
swer to the rule obtained by Dennis Doran,
requiring them to show cause why they
should not distribute the funds they have
collected to the depositors of the bank.
The assignees say it is true, as alleged In
Mr. Doran's petition, that they have $30,000
in hand, bnt they think it not advisable to
make a distribution now, as it would entail
considerable expense, and they expect to
have a much larger sum ready for distribu
tion by Sentember. The first distribution
they made amounted to $85,000, and the cost
of making the distribution was $1,100.
ine assignees have obtained judgments
against Matthew Bigger for $2,250; A. P.
Plnnkett for $303 and J. K. Slicker for
$2,250. They have a claim against the Hal
lis Nail and Tack Company lor $2, COO; the
James McMasters' estate for $500; J. H.
Ortman, secured, for $25,000; Fred Hampe

CHASED BY A BATTLEB.
A Tenomons Snake Tnkcs Possession of
Manlclpnl Halt. v
A live and particularly angry and venom
ous rattlesnake had posession of Municipal
Hall yesterday. A man with peculiar ideas
ofthefitneis of things, ad presented the
reptile tp Chief Bigelow for Schenley Park.
While the creature possessed a certain form
of beauty, the Chief failed to see wherein it
would add to tbe attractiveness of a pleas
ure resort, and therelore turned it over to
Colonel Bob Smothers to dispose of it.
The snake was confined in a cracker box
with a glass front, which was taken into the
yard behind Municipal Hall. The reptile
was four feet long, and had eight rattles and,'
a button, and was altogether a dangeroni
looking customer. A crowd gathered around
the cracker box and had a nleasant time
teasing the snake, until someone overturned
the box and broke the glass. Then the jote
was on the other side. The snnke madeor
tne crowd, and they broke for tbe doorhto
the building. The rattler followed the
crowd, and for a time tbe wildest cosfusion
reigned.
Colonel Smothers, however, soon re
covered his presence of mind, aid charged
the snake with a club. Bothcontestants
displayed considerable agilltypnt the battle
was suori anil decisive, and tne rattier win
rattle no more.

FAR IN THE LEAD!
The very big and satisfactory trade enjoyed by
e.-1-X- -i ,
Sinco the commencement of his Great Building and Extension Sale has
awakened the other dealers from their stupor. Their jcnlotny and enmity
have been fully aroused, and they now move heaven and earth to stom
tho tide of trade that flows to Keech's well-known and reliable Cash and
Credit House. But their efforts aro of no avail. Tho people cannot ba
misled ol bulldozed by exaggerated advertisements. They know that
Kcoch's sale Is based on fact, not fiction, and thay show their confi
dence n it by a mast liberal patronage. And thus, despite all the loud
talk and noisy assertions that other houses have seen fit to stuff the ad
vertlslng columns with lately, Kcoch was never so. far In the load of all
competition aa right now.
