W&SS rw?p rtr. w-f S -r 16 THE, PITTSBURG DISPATCH, SUNDAY. OCTOBER 5, 1890. m I r ate MIRED IN THE MUD. The Attendance at a Meeting Held to Consider County Highways EESTRICTED BY THE BAD ROADS. k Convention to Be Held on the 30th of the Present Month. PKIMAEIES TO CHOOSE THE DELEGATES Tne fanners' convention to consider the state of the conntrr roads and digest plans for their improvement held in room No. 3 o Common Pleas Court yesterday was not as large as expected, as the roads were in such horrid plight that, as a rule, only those who coald go cross-lots or by plank walks to a railroad, had courage to attempt the trip. As advices could not be gotten from those who were mired, it was decided .to proceed to business withont them. It was even suspected by some that the path of rectitude had become impass able, and that, in consequence some super visors could not travel it. It is known that grass was growing in it, rears ago, and that the aTerage supervisor didn't care to travel it. County Commissioner McKee called the meeting to order and suggested John Snee, of Jefferson townbhip. as Chairman. The suggestion was agreed to, and "W. H. Roberts, of Eobmson township, was ap pointed Secretary. It is a feather in Alle gheny county's cap that she was the first to more in the matter, even before the com mission provided br the last Legislature had shown the way. Some six weeks ago the commission met, but did nothing farther than suggest a meeting of farmers. The men who met yesterday had well defined views of what is needed and their expression will set the ball rolling. A I-KACTICAL FLAN PEOPOSKD. 'Squire Hill, of Scott township, moved that one delegate from each election dis trict take the subject into consideration and prepare a bill for submission to the next Legislature, asking for an appropriation. Mr. A. B. Boal, of PJnm township, ad vised that no action be taken until all pres ent had been given a chance to make sug gestions. He attempted to give some in stances of bad roads, but as he had Sot attempted to drive from the mouth of Chartiers creek to Moon run, his education on tbe subject had been sadly neglected, and the picture was feeble in the optics of people who live between the Stenbenrille pike and the Pittsburg and Lake Erie Bail way. He had not had experience in roads where oicht Clydesdales are necessary to haul a 3,000-pound boiler. J. R. Johnston, the oil broker, was a del egate. He regarded the present condition ot the highways a blur on civilization, and no one said him nay. He might have added that the methods usually resorted to in their care were dishouest, not to SJJ criminal. There was one delegate present who did not indulge much in discussion, but he is said to have given more than usual satis faction as supervisor in Robinson township, and that was James W. Bell, ex-County Poor Director. 'Squire Hill hit some enterprising farm ers pretty hard when he said he neither be lieved filling mud holes with mud and brush, nor in charitably feeding tramps lor their work and piving wood tax thereby with a credit ot SI 25 on each day's work by the tramp. It is quite common in dull times to hire a nondescript at 75 cents a day nnd board Himself and turn him onto the road at SI 25. A CONVENTION TO BE HELD. After considerable discussion 'Squire Hill's motion was passed, and Commission er JMcixee moved that the delegates be chosen by the people oi the rural districts, a primary election to be held the Saturday before tbe meeting of the convention, tbe convention to be held on the last Thursday of this month, in the Sheriff's sales office, in the Conrt House, at 10 o'clock A. M. This makes the tune tor holding the pri maries the 25th inst. There are 118 dis tricts, so that will be the number of dele gates to elect. Chairman Snee appointed "W. H. Rob erts, of Jefferson township; S. A. Graham, of Elizabeth township; ViIliam Knoedler, ot Killliuck township; A. B. Boal, of Plum; nnd VT. H. Bryson, of Plum, a com mittee to call the convention. Others present were J. B. McCorkle, of Indiana; G. B. Armstrong, of Plum; W. C. McFar land, o Fajette, John Aull, of Jefferson; J. D. Gray, of Ohio; D. M. Lea, of Scott, and Dr. R. Allen and Joseph JIaunaun, of Forward township. It was the drift of opinion that the county should be divided into districts, and a super intendent of roads be appointed in each dis trict, and that his compensation be sufficient to command his entire time.

"At the national meeting in Philadelphia in '89 it was tne general verdict oi the musi cians that the Miller grand surpassed all the others. At the New York State meeting the distingnished American pianist, Mr. "William H. Sherwood, who made a phenomenal success, publicly stated it nonld have been impossible for him to have produced such magnificent results on any other grand piano in the country."

We can demonstrate to any one who will give us the opportunity that the ready-made clothing we sell is a very different article from that with which they are sure, almost, to connect the article in their minds. We are showing a stock this fall which is surprising and delighting our patrons. It's very certain we've got THE stock of the city this season, as usual, and that is why the peo ple are flocking to us in greater numbers than ever. FINE FALL OVERCOATS. These garments are aptly designated by the French Demi Saison (between the seasons.) We defy any house in Pittsburg to match our assortment either in size or the quality of the goods shown. The product of the world's makers is here. Business and profes sional men are 'conquering their prejudices and coming to us for clothing which feels, fits, looks and will wear equal to the made-to-measure. They are coming because they find theycan save at least one-third on custom prices. Thus they practice economy. There can be but little doubt about the truth of this statement in general. The proverbs of many nations inculcate its virtues and laud the benefits of economy. But there is need, we fear, of a better knowledge of what the word economy stands for. It doesn t . rri ' 1 : 4--t. TU consist in meanness. meres no economy in uuymg uaaii. poor article is dear even at its cheap price. And of nothing is truer than in the purchase of The Fall Furnishings We've an enormous space de voted to this branch of our business and a great deal of capital invested in it Beside the largest line of staple goods to be found in the entire State, we make it a point to be first in the field with novelties.

We can suit anybody in undergarmentboth in materials and price. The quantity we handle enables us to undersell everybody. It is true economy to buy here. (jlIjSl FALL STYLES IN HATS.
