THEIR PRINCIPAL OBJECT Is to Tax Transportation Companies for Local Purposes. WHY THEY OPPOSE TBE ROAD BILL. Benator Flinn's Advica as lo the Pittsburg Street Measures. ISSDK INDEBTEDNESS CERTIFICATES FHOM A RTATF C01!KEt.FOXDKXT. H-AunismntG, larcii 1". Kon. Leonard Ithone, Master of the State Grange and a former Democratic llefircseutative from Center county, wa6 in the citv to-Jav. Mr. ltlioue is strouzly in favor of the Tarjgart tax bill, aud said that the Grangers are jiracticallv a unit iu its support. "While llicy also favored the income tax feature, yet if it was deemed best to strike it out, as Jlr. Tagcart has stated his willingness to do, the Grangers would not object. Their main object was. the taxing of transportation sud transmission companies for local purposes. If that ras secured they could afford to drop minor leatures. The claim that the railroads could not afford to pay the in creased taxation provided for by this bill could not be supiiorlcd. Those which ran through New York and Pennsylvania were taxed ior local purposes in the former State, and yet they did not cease operations. For example, the Coming, Cowanesque and .Antrim ltailrosd is 31 miles Ions, 37 of which runs lluough Tioga county, in this Stale, and 15 through 2Cew York. How It le llono in "ew York. In three townships through .which it passes in New York,, it pays over ?4,000 tor local purposes and is also taxed fur county nnil State purpose-. On tlie 37 miles in Pennsylvania it pays about $300 State tax ami not a cent for local purpose-. Mr. Rhone aid that the Grangers would send no delec.tions here lo work for the Mil. Both political parties bad pledged them selves to tax cciu.Uization. the Grangers bad sent in tbeir memorials and petitions prayinc lor the passage ot the Tagjrart bill, and now tliry would leave the matter with the Legisla ture. As to the road bill, Mr. Rhone said the Grangers centrally were opposed to it on the ground that i: nould increase the cost of the ioails and take their corftrol away from the locil authorities What ibe farmers needed was more funds with which to mate the roads, bat they could not afford to raise them them selves. Pass the tax bill first, and make the corporations contribute to local expenses, and tbev could then make good roads under the present laws with some slight modifications. The Grange's Ilapidly Increasing. Mr. Rhone, who is serving his fifth term as Master ot the State Grange, said the older was Increasing with wonderlul rapidity. The Farmers' Alliance had not hurt it, and would not, in bis opinion, be a permanent organiza tion. Thegieat strength of the Granielay in the fact that it was not a political organization, lie election last fall proved that. It had been charged that it was an ally of the Democratic party. If that had been true, the whole Re publican tictet would have been defeated, and not Dclamater alone. He thought that if the Republicans were to nominate Giles D. Price, of Uric, for Auditor General, and Mr. Taggart for State Treasurer, it would be a ticket very acceptable to Republican Grancers. as both ihrse gentlemen had their confidence. fcenator Mylln, who has the road bill in charce, on las attention being called to Mr. Rhone's objections to that measuie, declared tli cm unfounded. The power to elect supervi sors is vested in the voters of each tnwnsnlp. and these supervisors lew tho tax, make all contracts and expeuu all moneys. The only outside supervision is that exercised by tho in .vpector anpomied by the commissioners, and bis authority only "extends to the contracts made lor the permanent improvement of high ways upon which the State appropriation is expended. With the exception ot this neces sary and wholesome provision, the entire con trol of the roads remain vested in the local au thoiities. Hesky Halx. PITTSBURG STREET ACTS. CUBATITE LEGISLATIOK THAT SEHAT0B FLIKN ADVOCATES. Collect tho Money line on Improvements and I'ay for Them and Others 'With Cer tificates of Indebtedness Would lie Kusier for the People. rniOM A STAFF COF.BESrOSDEST.; Hahkisburg, March 17. Senator Flinn, speaking to-day of the legislation necessary under the decision of the Supreme Court destroying the Pittsburg street act said that he believed the proper course to be pur sued would be the passage of such curative measures lor the collection of the tnouey dot iue on improvements as could be en acted under the late decision, and in the mean time to authorize the city to pay for those im piovements. ai:d all future ones by issuing cer line atfs r Indebtedness, bearing six per cent interest during three years bat payable in whole or in liar: any time on ten days' notice. This he claims, would remove the preseut uncertainty attending the payment for those improvements. ow, oingtothe uncertainty in regard to the payment, and the consequent delays, only contractors who are financially strong can afford to. take the contracts, and then only at such high figures as will justify thc.r taking Uip rj-k. Under his plan, poorer contractors would be let in, and any of them could afford to take the work at figures which would save the city mono. If the cityliad three j ears in which to collect the assessments, it could do so without impos ing any great hardship upon property owners. Had there been assessments due at tlie time of the late financial pauir. many .people would bate been seriously embarrassed. The certifi cates of lndebleaness would be negotiable, and could easily be converted into cash, and would be readily taken by people with money to invest. The Senator said this plan had been in operation at McKeesport for several-years, and had worked very satisfactorily. THE COAL 1NTEBESTS Protest Against the Hill Imposing aTaxol One Cent a Ton. IFEOM A ETAFr CORKESP03DKXT. Hakkisbuec, March 17. Representatives of the coal interests appeared before a joint meet ing of tho Senate Finance and Corporations Committees to-night, in opposition to the bill taxing coal 1 cent a ton for the relief of in. jitied miners, and the bill requiringcoaUobc weighed before being screened, aud enlarging the powers ot cbeckweighmeu. Win. Elliott, of Clearfield, argnrd that no tax for the bene fit of one class snould be levied upou any oue product or industry located in a limited region of country. Mr. Davis, the author of the bill, stated bis willingness to have bituminous coal exempted from its provisions. Joseph Walton, of Pitts burg, opposed the bill providing: for the weigh ing ot coal before sci eeuing- He asserted that tho coal miner of Wcs em Pennsylvania, and especially ot the Pittsburg region, were the best paid workingmeu in the United States ' not in the world. At the pre-ent price of 3J cents a bushel the men in bis mine.were mak ing Ho to $70 every two weeks, the latter amount being where the miner had a boy old enough to help bim. Alexander Dempster, of Pittsburg, said that it would be impossible for tho operators of that section to run their mines if the bill became a law. Tho bill if it comes out affirmatively will be amended so as to ex empt bituminous coal and will not pass the (senate in any form. It may be safely let down as defeated now.

EMPLOYERS' LIABILITY. LIVELY FIGHT OVER THE BILL IK THE SENATE COMMITTEE. Fiery Speeches SIndo on Both Sides and Jlanufa ctnrers Take a Hand The letter Claim It Would Drive a Great Deal of Business From the State. rrnoM a stajt coitnrsroxDKHT. Hakrisbukg, March 17. There was an other battle over the employers' liability bill this atteruoou, the manufacturers of Phila delphia coming in carlcsds and special trains to induce the Senate Judiciary Gen eral Committee to jomp on Senator Hines' hill with both feet. The bill differs some what from that introduced iu the House by T. R.'Jones, of Allegheny, though intended to accomplish the same end. Senator Hines advocated Iiib bill in a fiery speech in which he said it aimed to estab lish tbe same rule adopted in Massachusetts, Ohio, Wisconsin and Alabama. Therulelaid down by our Supreme Court bore more harshly upon tho employe than that of any other State, and was contrary to that held by the United States Supreme Court. He scored the Penn sylvania Supreme Court unmercifully, quoting from Lawson on railroad cases, where he warns the student of law not to pay too much regard to the decisions of that body on questions rela ting to carriers, and particularly in late years, as it seems to be in control of the Pennsylvania Railroad, which corporation appears to manage It as thoroughly as it manages the rest of its affairs. Ex-Senator Louis Hall, of Karrisburg, ap peared for the manufacturers, and handled Senator Hines very roughly for attacking cor porations and tbe Supreme Court. He claimed that Pennsylvania owed her wealth, power and progress to'the corporations. The present rule relative to co-cmploycs had been held for 50 years. It bad been laid down by Read, Thomp son. Acnew. Sharwood and Mercer. These were men who could not bo belittled by the assertions o! Mr. Hines. In this State cor porations were not exempted from tbe pay ment of damages for death or in jury if they had bad machinery or incompetent managers. But they were not and should not he insurers against accidents. Tbe rule in this State obtained in every St3te but eight, New York aud Indiana went even further than Pennsylvania. In almost every instance, the States which had changed from the common law had returned to it. Georgia and Iowa had changed the common law to place a limited responsibility ou railroads, but not ou manufacturers. In Massachusetts they had limited damages for death to $5,000 and for injuries to $1,000 and exDre-sly excepted farm laborers from the operation, of the law. England had changed the rule ffi 1SS0, but was now demanding its repeal. Mr. Hall was extremely disconrteons In his argument, his references to his opponents as "Hines" and "Jones" being in marked bad taste, to say the least. It was generally ad mitted that he did not help tbe manufacturers very much. Thomas Dolan, representing the Manufacturers' Club of Philadelphia, said be did not represent corporations, as 95 per cent of the club nere Individual manufacturers. representing $100,000,000 capital and employing 500,000 workmen. He held tha: manufact urers could not run their establishments under a law like this. In many cases they could only employ union men, and under this bill an emploermigbc be held liable for the negligence of a man who bad been forced upon him by tbe union. It would also tend to' drive manufacturers out ot the State. The South was offering a field for manufacturing free from these unfavorable conditions. If the bill, becomes a law it would rob Pennsylvania of Its supremacy as an industrial State. The Judiciary General Committee . seemed somewhat dazed by tno evil depicted by one side and predicted by the other, and adjourned without taking any action. BILLS THAT WEBE PASSED.

WESTERN PENITENTIARY. air. Keyburn Says He Knows Nothing Against Its Management. TFROM A STAFF CORltESPONDENT.J HakkisbukQ, March 17. Speaking of the charges made against the management of the Eastern Penitentiary, Mr. Wherry to-day said: "And the Western Penitentiary is no better." Being questioned further, he said that his In formation came from private sources, and he would give no particulars, but that the matter was known to the Commission on Charities and Corrections, and that they would doubtless make it public in their forthcoming report, adding that if they did nor, tbe Legislature would see that it was brought to light. Senator Re j burn. Chairman of the commis sion, was seen to-night, and said that be did not think Mr. Wherry knew anything about it, and if he did, be knew more than tbe commission, for the bad no information of anything wrong in the management of the Western Peniten tiary. SENATOR AND C0NGBEBSHAN. The Democrats Anxious to Put Robinson's I'arty Friends In a Hole. 1FKOM A STAFF COliKKSrOKDEXT.l Hakrisbukg, March 17. The Democrats are after Senator John P. Robinson, of Dela ware, who is now both Senator and Congress man. They are on tbe watch and if any bill comes from the Senate to the House which 'has been passed by just 26 votes, the exact con stitutional number. Senator Robinson being one of them, tbey will raise tbe point of order that it has not comepropcrly belore tbe House and cannot be consiuered. - This will place the responsibility of deciding whether Mr. Robinson is a Senator or Con gressman, or both, upon Speaker Thompson. It is hardly likely that Mr. Thompson would sustain the point of order. A BEAUTIFUL SCHEME That tho House Education Committee Has Nicely Spoiled. -.FnOK A ETArr CORRESPONDENT. I HARRlSBUnG, .March 17. The House Educa tion Committee negatived to-night a bill which would have been quite a picnic for those whom it was intended to benefit. This precious measure proposed to compel School Boards to place in every ecnool room an Unabridged Webster's Dictionary, latest edition, a geo graphical globe, one foot in diameter, an astronomical chart live feet square, and a set of cubical blocks containing nut less tlin 525 cubical inches'. As there ate nearly 23.000 schools in the State the cost imposed in the school lunds under this bill would be something startling. Sit. Pleasant Prohibitory Law.

The effects of several stoves made the Grand Central Rink quite comfortable for the ladien and gentle men present Mr. Shaw again officiated as referee. The contestants were "William "Walker and Ed. Burris, the latter being one of the Philadelphia players. Owing to Mr. Walker's being sadly ont of form because of lack of practice at the 14-inch balk line game, his friends did not expect him to de feat such a good player as Mr. Burns. Jir. "Walker started out very badly, but as the game progressed he displayed much better form and it Is probable he will show some good playing before the week is over. Mr. Burris played very well. At times he made some excellent Bhots, but, as ho re marked, "draw shots were exceedinely difficult to make." On two occasions he made runs of SO and was heartily applauded. He is, indeed, quite a promising player, and it will be inter esting to watch his efforts this week. Follow ing were the scores in the afternoon game: Walkcr-1, iu;i0.1. 0, 0, 5, 4. 1, 3. 1, 3, 2. I.

Manager Gus Schmelz, of tbe American Association club, arrived iu the city from SL Louis this evening and brought with him Jack O'Connor, the catcher whom tbe Pittsburg League club claimed to have signed and on whom they are counting. O'Connor had been ranked among the contract jumpers from the Association, but his signature to a contract with explicit terms has been secured since his arrival in tho citv, and ho will plav with Columbus tho com ing season. Mike Lehano. the old Columbus first baseman, has also signed a contract to play. O'Connor signed a cuntract for two years with Columbus. "How did it happen that you let Baldwin languish in jail out in St. Louis, Jack?" asked a reporter. I didn't" was the answer. "1 hustled and gothim out of Jail." "How about the $1,200 that the League ad vanced you?" "I put that in the bank and inteud to keep it there until I want it for my own use. It was bribe money and they can't recover it. I didn't intend to play with the League, but as long ai tbey were throwing money around so freely I thought Lnihrht as well have a piece. I con sider fiat the loss of the money serves the League richt for trying to lower baseball by in ducing players to jump contracts." THE TJKKHCWN W0IT.

About 250 admirers of wrestling assembled at Recreation Park yesterday afternoon to wit ness a match contest between William Har lam. or Mansfield, and an unknown, of Pitts burg. Catch-as-catch-can rules governed. Tho match was for $200 a side and the"gate" money. The contestants wrestled at 13S pounds, and Robert Miller was referee. ' The contestants began at i o'clock and the unknown soon began to show his superiority. In about four minutes ho cained what seemed to be a Hying fall, but the referee did not see it. When the men bad wrestled 12 minutes the unknown gained a splendid flying fall, which was accomplished in a very masterly style. Harlam's second objected to the fall being al lowed, but both of Harlam's shoulders touched tbe ground square enough. After a brief icst tbe men closed again, and after soma good wrestling, all In lavor of tho unknown, tbe latter stood Harlam on bis bead and embracing him by tbe body lifted him up and violentv threw him down square on his shoulders. There was no argument about this fall, which was gained in ten minutes. The unknown was therefore awarded the victory. He is a good and exceedingly tricky wrestler and evidently Knows his business quite well. He was secoude'd by d Smltb, the Denver pugilist. ME. BEILLY LOOMS UP.

New Yohk, March 17 The Staten Island Morgue, wherein lies the body of the alleged Carl Kuttinser, still claims the attention ot the public This most mysterious ca?e is complicated by conflicting theories. In. terest divides to-tlay between the, crime proner, aud the establishment ot the identitv of William Wright, whose initials, "W. W.." were found in a corner of the handkerchief forced down Ruttlnger"s throat while drugged, drunk or helpless, evidently unable to exert the strength bis physique deuoted, and which slowly smothered him to death. No doubt how remains in Insoector Byrnes' mind that the "Fred Evans" who committed suicide at the Astor House, and who .was buried under that name, is tbe William rieht. brother-in-law of the murdered Ruttinger. The small point which turned tbe Inspector's mind iu this channel was tbe flnding.In "fcvans" boots the -mark "V. W" corresponding with that ou the handkerchief, and it is said Byrnes has abandoned speculation on this point. Then, again, it is said the clothing, boots, etc, of "Evans" were carefully examined when tbe suicide occurred, and that no mark and no letter whatever was found unon them. To-morrow It is proposed to exhume "Evans" body, with a view to settling this'hranch of the mystery: but whatever may be the result, it can add nothing in the eyes of the police to evi dence of the suicide's clothes. The body so long buried may bo beyond recognition. A BAT'S ACCIDENTS. A Boy Struck by a Panhandle Train at Oak . dale and Killed. The accidents yesterday were few, bnt one was fatal.

Frequent shipments of car-load lots of Dr. Pierce's Medicines, to all the principal commercial' centers of this country, are necessary to supply the unprecedented demand for these world famed remedies. No other medicines ever attained anything like the popu larity which they enjoy. No other medicines possess such superior and positive curative properties as to war rant their manufacturers in sellinp; them, as the proprietors of Dr. Pierce's Medicines are doing, through druggists, under a positive guaranteo .of benefit or cure in every case, on fair trial, or money refunded. There are scores of sarsaparillas and other blood medicines advertised, but tha "Golden Medical Discovery" of Dr. Pierce is t he only one ever backed up by a positive guarantee from a well-known and thoroughly responsible house. The conditions are, that, given a fair trial, it will do all that is claimed for it, or money paid for it will be promptly re funded. A Certificate of Guarantee wraps every bottle. To attempt the sale of an inferior, or even a fairly good, blood-purifier under such trying conditions as these, would mean bankruptcy to its proprietors.

The "Golden Medical Discovery" is such a medicine, and has proven its ability to sustain its proprietors, even though sold on such extraordinary terms. As a remedy for all Blood, Skin and Scalp Diseases, it has won for itself world-wide fame. Especially has it manifested its potency in curing Salt rheum, Eczema, Tetter, Pimples, Blotches, Eruptions, old Scrofulous Sores, Ulcers, and kindred ailments. As a remedy for the peculiar weak nesses, distressing irregularities, and painful derangements incident to women, Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre scription stands alone as the only rem edy guaranteed to give' satisfaction in every case, or money paid for it is promptly refunded. It is but natural that the people should bestow their patronage upon these medicines, since none other are sold on such fair and liberal terms. They are manufactured by the World's Dispensary Medical Association, of Buf falo, N. Y., a house whose financial standing and reputation for fair dealing is well-known to every publisher, as well as to every druggist, throughout the civilized world. OPPICLU-PITTSBIIKG.
