Although they have surrounded them selves with mystery, the detectives-are hard at work on the Gilkinson murder case. Detective Pcrkius, who has charge of the matter, is out of tow n no one knows where. County Detective Beltzhoover is in the neighborhood of Homestead with a number of his associates, gathering information about Filisimmons and his sang. A num ber of persons are under suspicion thereof being ncceory to the murder. It is not believed that ritzsimraons went straight from Bull Run to the house of the Clarks on the night of the tragedy. Tor this rea son a number of arrests are expected and doubtless more people than the Clarks will find temporary homes in the jail. The de tectives are also moving on the robber gaug and arrests of members can be expected every day. As for Fitzimmons, the chief of the rob bers, his history reads like a romance. He was as lavish in his gifts as "Sinbad the Sailor," and made reparation in the mag nificent manner of a "Monte Cristo." Robbed His I'ather When a Boy. A dispatch fromBrockviUe yesterday tells the history of his early life, and while it dues not sav he was a robber irom his cradle, it does record his father as being one of the first victims of Frederick Fttzsimmons' thieving habits. Although he apparently wore a cloak of liouesty, he first showed th under colors Ijciore lie was 20 years of age. At that time he went to Toronto, and succeeded in ar rangiug for and carrying out a big steam boat excursion. The boat got off safely, and so did FitzsimmoDs with the proceeds, leav ing the wild waves and time to wash away the memory of the expenses. Nearly a score of j ears ago the town of BrotkviHe was set nearly wild over a scries of success. ul robberies. Among the others who suffered was Robert ritzsinitnons. His btote Mas robbed of a large amount of liquors and groceries. The robbery there was reDeated several times. A watcn was set and one night two men were caught in the store. One proved to be Fred Fitzsim mous. It uasaiterward developed that all the other robberies were those of Fitzsim Hioos aud his paitucr. Turned Adrift by His Father. He was forgiven for this, but so many similar actions followed that his father sent him adrift. It was reported he had gone to Tilcsice and his name was almost forgotten e Minn the old men about the grocery s'ores would speak ot him, and with a shako of their heaus predict for hiin a bad end. Their doubts were all dbpclled, lioweTer, when a little oertwo weeks aco he returned with pleutj ot niouev and apparently achanged man. lie seemed the essence of honor. To leiatives. particularly the young ladies, hegave 8clr asfreclj as if it mere but bon-bon:. Although his silts wore no donlt a part of Iim proceeds in the bteals. he gave out the story that he had reformed, and non owned large estates in Mexico. He tola his story m so s raigbtforward a manner that even hi nnclc In liLiidbtui to be thoroughly truthful Anil, b the wa;, that nncleis the present post masttr at ISrcckville and an ex-tnem-lr of the Prowncul Parliament. To iinch the storj of his chanced nature he ci en went "o far that wbcu his father's estate was divided lie handed $1,000 to bis brother. II. T Fitzimmors. He said he ould never make reparation to his dead father, but asLed bis brother to lake the money to make up for what he (I'red) had stolen almost a- score of j ears before. A W ell-Organized Band of Thieve. The gang organized and ruled by Fitzsim roous reaches over several States, and every member has been located, but some of the mding places and "fences" have not been dis covered. The death cf the great detective spoiled one of the mos: brilliant plans ever laid to make a wholesale capture of an organ ized gang and thousands of dollars. The plan had etc same geueral outline as the famous Panhandle case. On the stroke of the clocK arre&ts were to b. made and house searched in at least three .States But as for the details ot the plan, they cannot bo Riven out, as it vouldgne too many suggestions to the de fense. The arrest of Joe "Williams in Jefferson, O., on'luevUy night is considered an important one. Williams is a man about 33 years of age, and was a setting machine agent near Home stead, llf was almost constantly in the cont inue of ruzMinmons. He was engaged w ith the latter in stealing; sewing machines.apd.it alleged, a also connected with the hkellev robbery as well as that of the Schmidt store In Homestead, borne of the stolen goods were found with him "Ailliains refuses to leave the State without requisition papers, therefore the hearing lu his case has been hied for April 3. Opening of the Inquest. Coroner McDowell yesterday commenced the inquest into the death of David H. Gilkinson. onc of the meat of the testimony was given owing to the fact that Detective JIurphj's wounds have become so painful that he could not be present. Only the shell of the testimony was taken. The story of Detective Ueltzhoover and the story of the capture of the criminal at Homestead by Dr. Gladden and Officers Mc Allister and Calvin were retold. The weietbe same as has already been published in THE DISPATCH. Magistrate Gripp testified to having issued warrants for the arrest ot Fitz siuiinons and aHo search warrants for a num ber of place, hut could not recall whether he had issued a search warrant for the house in which the shooting occurred. The inquest was adjourned until Monday at 2 o'clock. .'. laige crowd collected at the Coroner's office in the hope ot seeing the murderer, but he was not brought over from jail. The de tective force of both ci'ics wero largely repre sented. Prominent among the crow d was It. P. l'uli. a business associate of the late detective, who. when he heard of the murder, laid down (LUX) to be used toward securing the conviction it the murderer. He is willing to put up more it necessar Concerning Liura Hill, it was also developed vesftrda) that she had formerly kept a house at Rochester, fene then roomeit on Sixth street, where she had a Dumber of gentlemen callers.

Mr. O'Brien and his partners, owners of the "Folly" wells at Chartiers, were in a considerable stew for a day or two this week. '1 he uitro-glj ccrine man had put an Si-quart shot in their o. 3 well, the best one iu the roup. She had the pneumonia, and they wan.cd to get the iparafQne out of her lungs. The shooter said the torpedo had done its work, but the owners could see no indications ot it. 1 ney let the tools down within SO feet of toe tornedo, and then, lortunately took the alarm and drew them out again, and took a measurement, which showed that the charge bad not gone oil. They then sent for the shooter, and be sent down aquib, which caused the explosion de sired, and since then they have been busy clean lug out the debris. Had the tools gone down there would have been a mix-up which would have destroyed the w ell beyond redemption. Tell Into the Itiver. About 7 o'clock last evening Timothy Mc Cune, while intoxicated, walked out on a barge at the foot of Sixteenth street, and fell into the river. James Nolan, a millman, saved JicCune from drowning. ITS PROPERTY ATTAQHED. Shareholders of the Columbia Iron and Steel Company Take Legal Action Against It IIciv Uio Company Stands at Tresent. A special dispatch received last night from New York says: "The Sheriff has re ceived two attachments against the Colum bia Iron and Steel Company of Pittsburg, one for 511,737 in favor of Alfred H. and Reese T. Seal, and the other for 54,605 in favor of H. "Whittemore. The attachments were served on the New York agents, at 81 Fulton street, this city." Regarding this statement iin effort was made tu sec E. M. Butz, the Yice President of the company, at his residence on Arch strcpr, Allcgheuy. Mrs. Butz said that her husband could not be seen, as be was confined to bis bed with the grip. A similar attempt to seo Christian Zeager, the President of this arid the Pennsylvania Construction Company, an identical concern, was equally fruitless. Neither of the Messrs. Xeal could be seen. The principal stockholders in the conce-n are the gentlemen mentioned and Boggs fc Buhl, the drygoods men ot Allegheny. The company was understood to have somo large orders on hand, and tbo addition to the capital stock voted at the meeting two weeks ago was to permit ot an extension of operations. Dur ing the last couple of ycirs the company has made various efforts to dispose of its interests. Messrs. Meal and Buiz visited London last summei for this pur pose, and succeeded in inducing Knglisli capi talists to consider a purchase. They did so, but the negotiations subsequently fell through on investigation of the coinnany's account. An attempt to raiso 5000,000 on mortgage bonds in the same quarter was equally unsuccessful. Latterh, It was stated in a leliable quarter that Englishmen were again after the plant and bad nearly concluded negotiations. Mr. E. M. Butz, when questioned on this matter, requested that no mention of it should be made as negotiations might lie disturbed. Since, nothing has been heard of tho matter. Tho company has lately had a legal controversy with the Wcstinghouse Machine and Manufacturing Company in which it was defeated. .Rumors regarding the companj's financial standing have been freely current on the street fur somo time past. A. H. Neal is the metal broker of Libertj avenue, and Ik T. is a clerk in the Pittsburg and Lake Eric Companj's ofhees. CLEARING THE WRECK.

He has men working day and night, aud should nothing happen all the debris will be out of the building by to-morrow evening. After this work is finished the place can be washed out in short order and the stands replaced for bus iness. In speaking of the proposed new market house which the butchers ot the Southside were talking about, Mr. McDonald rajs that none will be built. He was at a meeting held by the butchers and they wauted to know what accommodations he could give them by Satur day. On being informed that ttey could havo their old places in the Maiket House soon the majority of them dropped t'-e matter atonce and seemed satisfied to stay at their old stands.

Instead of coining specimens of false syntax for class exercise. If grammar makers were to takean hour's tramp along the streets an J copy all the signs and home-made advertisements they could secure a list of more unique blun ders than they could possibly devise in a week. Two specimens will suffice: A Liberty street dealer advertises a "Pattent lady's kitchen cabinett" for sale. Not long since a book seller put out a card announcing that he possessed a stock of Flexible-backed teachers1 Bibles." He saw bis mistake when asked where tho "flexible-backed teachers" could be found. "WASTED CHEAP COAL.

SUXSHIXE EXPECTED TO BRIXQ BELIEF Though not fatal, like the plague that once visited Egypt and slew the first born in every household, the present visit of the in fluenza is almost as general within a radius ot several miles of this city, and one great burden added is that if one had corns or toothache furiously the grip has aggra vated it until the victim is on the verge of fello-de-se. One poor, broken-nerTed Rus sian coal miner, John Rnffner, residing at PossunT Hollow, put an end to his misery yesterday morning. He shot himself through the head with a revolver. "While there are various remedies pre scribed for the malady from the old ladies' "yarbs" to the most subtle prescriptions known to pharmacy, there re few people who do not advise preliminarily a physic, a liver moving physic, as it is pretty gener allv agreed that such treatment sometimes relieves even corns and toothache. There were about as many calls at the drugstores yesterday as previously, but druggists and physicians generally agreed that the sun was doing curative work that will soon be beneficially felt. Considerable time was spent in Johnston's, Torrence's, Flemings' and HcKennan's drugstores watching comers and goers. Their errand was gener ally the same.but HcKennan's place seemed to have the call on quinine selling, and Mr. Martsoft said they had sold over 1,000 tvo grain pills I'uce Saturday. A Specific for the Disease. A physician, who says he wants bis name suppressed, sends the following: I send you a prescription for the treatment of the grip, which is as specified in its cure of that disease as sulphuris for tbe itch or qui nine for chilU and fever. It arrests tho aching in tbe bones, headache, backache, etc., as well as prevents tbe disease from cansing pneumonia. I know by experience whereof 1 speakand deem it important that it should be made public for the use of physicians and tho public. I end it to your paper for publication. I have affixed "Progrip" to the prescription because I du nnt wish to appeir before the pub lic as pretending to know any more about the disease and its treatment than any other phy sicians in tbe profession engaged in the prac tice. Physicians will seo the adaptability ot this treatment to the cure of the dmoase, as others have done to whom I have given it Here is the prescription: Chlorororm 1 drachm Pulverized gum arable J drachm Powdered white sugar 1 dracam Deodorized tincture of opium 1 drachm llnctnregclsemium 1 drachm Tincture ascliplustuuowsl 1 drachm Bromide potash 1 drachm Peppermint water in sufficient quantity to mike two ounces. Do'e One teaspoon! ill in a wine glass of hot witer everv hour until the virulence of the symntoms abate: then every tvro to four hours until well. Drink occasionallv half a cup of hot water and take a two-grain quinine pill every three or four hours. Pboorip. Non-whil i various pharmacists were con sulted as to their views of the efficacy of this Erescriptlon, not one indorsed it in itsontirety, ut all found some things In it they did sanction. One objected to opium and another to something else. But all agreed that sugar wasn't bad in almost any kind ot preparation. School Attendance .Affected. There has been a vast amount of doubling up caused by the disease. Tbo schools have been greatly affected and teachers must help each other and tjie same has been the case in about all banks and mercantile houses. Four sevenths of the Allegheny force of front office men are knocked out. Nearly SO per cent of thn girls in tbe Allegheny Central Telephone office have it and of course their temper hat not been improved. Such Central stockyard hustlers as E. McCall, E. Normccutt, their bookkeeper also and IMImhofiT are sneezing and on their backs. In fact tbe East End seems to be one of tbe centers of low barometer and tho police out there are demoralized and Captain Mercer and bis whole family are in valids. Charles Lougbry, chief cleric of the Central Traffic Association; William Black, an old-time mail carrier, and Charles Stewart are floored. The destroyer is working havoc in the Homes for Aged Women and Aged Men in Wllkins burg. There are more than SO cases and a number of deaths. W. J. McTighe, a prominent business man, son of A. J. Mclighe. the old-time banker who did butineso at the corner of Fifth avenue and Kcnp alley, died at the Mercy Hospital yester day morning after a n eek's illnes. Mr. Mc Tighe was about 45 j ears old. He was Secre tary and Treasurer of tbo McClure Coke Com pany. Pound Dead on the Floor. Mrs. Thomas Xuttridge.wlfe of the proprietor of the Nuttridge House. Diamond street, who had been sick with the disease about three weeks, attempted to leave her bed about soon jesterday in the absence of the nurse, who had gone to dinner. She fell and at 12:30 was found by the nurse lying insensible on tbe floor. She was put into bed, but died before a physician arrived. Bridget Ciaytry, an employe of the Hotel Schloser, was shown to have had influenza, though at rir she was "upposed to have been poisoned. Her home was at .No."- 3 Carson street. It looks as though, if there is not an Immedi ate aoatemiwt of the scourge, that deaths will run up to 000 this month, SO per cent, in round numbers, more than in either Jannarj or Feb ruary. Up until 4 o'clock yesterday af-ernoon the number of deaths reported to the Bureau of Health increased to 47(1 This makes a total of 32 deaths for the 21 hours previous to 4 p. Jt. jesterdaj, which is the largest number that has been reported to the Bureau of health for a number of vears. Cerebrn-spinal meningitis has broken out again. Yesterday two more new cases were re ported, and also another which resulted in death. Oliver Cupp". agea 11 years 4 months and 28 days, died of the disease at bis parents residence, No. 212S Perm avenue. The other two cases are that of Percy McGrew, aged 13. who resides at 4217 Fifth avenue, and Albert McClaiu, who lives at Ko. 451 Bedford avenue. There were no more deaths resulting from la grippe leported. Astronomer Rrashears Close CalL Prof. John A. Brashear, tho eminent astrono mer of Allegheny, is just recovering from a severe attack of the grip, which at onetime threatened to prove fatal. He was delirous for two das, but yesterday his physician, Dr. Haz zard. said he bad 4o far recovered that he was out of all immediate danger. IXAJHKIHG BALLOT-BOXES. Slow Progress In the Craig-Stewart Elec tion Contest Hearings. The Cralg-btewart contest for a seat in Con gress from the Twenty-fourth district was fur ther heard yesterday by Attorney Andrew Fisher, at No. 1CI Fifth aveuue. It is a ques tion of examination of ballot-boxes, and is about as interesting to an outsider as is the Westminster Confession of Faith to an Armin ian. There is just one thing that this contest has bronght out, and that has been to plainly is to impel, one would think, a respectful bear ing for the Australian system of voting, flr the creatiou of a school for the teaching of election officers their dutt. It must astonish an average election board Itself to find oat how stupid it is. But this ignorance of the law Is a big thing for roosters. CAPTAIH GBATS IH1EKEST In the Firm of Park & Co. to Re Dis posed of. A petition was presented in tbe Orphans' Court yesterday by James J. Donuell, J. Painter, Jr., William G. Park and David K Park, executors of the estate of tbe late It, c. Gray, asking permission to sell the interest of the deceased in the firm ot Park A Co., the iron manufacturers. Tbe interest has already been appraised by the court, after tbe report of an appraiser had been excepted to. and, tbo Court fixed the amount at 39.179 50. This the executors desired to sell by agreement with the heirs of Captain Gray, and the Court issued a decree ordering the publication of the pro posed sale to be inserted in an official paper for a period of three weeks and a return of tbe pe tition to the Court on April 18. "What is 091? CONVICT ROAD LABOR. Superintendent "Warner, oC tho "Workhouse, In His Annnnl Report, Argues In Favor of Employing Prisoners on the Public Highways The Record of a Tear. The twenty-first annual report of affairs of the Allegheny County "Workhouse fur 1890, has appeared in neat pamphlet form. Superintendent "Warner iu his statement, says tbe average number of prisoners has in creased, while the cost of maintaining them is diminished. Tho cooperage department shows a decrease in earninitl on account of tho de pressed condition ol tie barrel industry. Tho manufacture of artificial ice was begun May 15, and has been vcondnctcd ever since with great success. The manufacture, of brooms has in creased with correspondingly increased profits. In Bpeaklng of tho road labor problem the superintendent says: "I have given the subject of road making more special attention than probablv any other department. In deference to public sentiment on that subject I have suc ceeded in making practical tests that 1 hope will be of great value. It is ray opinion that great good worjld result to tbe public by ihe employment of such prison labor as we have control of on county roads. 1 reiterate the suggestion made iu my report for 18S9 on this subject, that the improvement of the public roads Btionl.t commence in the immediate neighborhood of the workhouse. As far as the workhouse is concerned no additional legisla tion is needed. The labor of the inmates may as properly he employed on work outside as inside the walls." The dally averaeoof prison population for 1891 was 702308-865, as against 628 288365 for 1SS3. The daily cost of each inmate forlS90, was 33 83-100 cents, as against 3G 32-100 cents for 18S9. The earnings from bninesi for 1890, were 547.85-5 05, as against J39.42G 3 for lbS9. The expenses of the institution for the car amounted to SSo,2bO 34. bince the organization ot tho institution. An trust C, 1SG9, tliero have " been received 52.7S3 prisoners, 7.3S3 of whom were of tho ignorant classes who could not read or write. During the jcar 1890. 3,880 prisoners were re. ceived. There were 11 deaths during the year. The report of "Workhouse Physician G. M. Kelly Is a strong argument in favor of Super intendent Warner's road labor ideas, as it shows that during the year 230 cases of indi gestion wero treated. La grippe laid up 18 of the prisoners. Chaplain Henderson gives a statement of tho number of religious serrices beld and urges the necessity of more reading matter for the pris oners. HGUEIKG OK LIGHTS. Milwaukee Aldermen Inspecting Pittsburg's Street Illnmlnntlons. A committee of tbe Board of Aldermen of Milwaukee, Wis., came to this city yesterday on a tour of inspection of city lighting. Tbe committee is composed of Messrs ?. C. Lorenz, John Guerin, James Horan, E. G. Cowdry and Frank Niezorowski. The cause of the excur sion is that a fuel gas company, desiring privi leges in Milwaukee, has claimed that it could light the town better and cheaper than it is now lighted. At present Milwaukee is lighted by coal gas and electricity. They pay 511J 50 per year for each 2,000 candle power electric iight, about S25 per lamp more than Pittsburg pays, and their lighting bill is nearly-as heavy as Pittsburg's, while they havo not half as much light. The committee made a tour of the city yes terday aud were astonished at the number ot lights in tho lower part ot the city. They seem to think that electricity is tbe only light, and their report will probably shut out the new fuel company. ALLEGHENY'S HEW OEFICEBS. Henry Mnth Appointed Superintendent of Police.

Tho Cut-Stono Contractors Kemodel Their Organization. SOME OP THEIR PK0P0SED PLANS. Work of the Slieel-llill Committee Has Been Finished. MISCELIiAKEODS JXDUSTKIAIi ITEMS The Cut-Stone Contractors' and Quarry men's Association of Allegheny County, which was organized a year ago, has adopted a new constitution which materially changes the character of the organization. This is the association that, last year, wanted the journeymen stone cutters to pass a law in their union, by which they could not work for any lint members of the Stone Contractors' Association, so as to prevent competition from the general contractors. This tbe men refused to do, claiming the privilege of working for anyone who paid them union prices aud employed union men. Hence, the stone contractors are reorgan izing on a different basis, one which will either force all stone dealers into their asso ciation or out of business. Hereafter no stono will be purchased from quarrymen who supply dealers who are not members of the as sociation, thus making a close corporation of their organization. By this arraiigefaent n general contractor who is not a member of tbe association will be compelled to employ one who is to do the stone work, thus bringing to the front tbe middle man, whose profits would largely increase the cost of tbe work. And a journeyman stone cutter with a small capital could never start in business for himself. For tbo purpose of making tbe plan work still more successfully, an effort is to be mado to include in the membership of quarrymen only sucli men as can furnish stone at reason able rates, leaving those at a great distatice from tbe citv. who have heavy freight rates to pay. in a uosltion in which it would be utterly lmoossible to compete with thoso whose rates are lighter. ' Some of the clauses of the new constitution jut adopted arc qnito interesting, as setting forth tbe object aud policy ot the association. Article 4 reads: Tho Initiation fee of this organization shall be 525 until May 1, 1S91, and SJ00 thereafter. Tho dues shall be 10 annually, to be paid semi annually in advance. Article 7, which has already been ex plained in a general way, provides "'that we purchase no stone of any quarry man, or com pany operating qnarrics, w no are not members ot this as-ociation; that no quarrymen or com pany operating quarries shall sell stono to any contractor for cut stone work tor building pur poses, not a member of this organization, ex cept in cases of railway or Government work." Article 0 specifies the jurisdiction of the association over work, and saj: "All cut stone work used for building purposes excepting granito and marble, and including flagging, ex cept such of three inches thick and under, shall be considered cut stono work for building purposes within the meaning of the constitu tion and under Its jurisdiction." The present memnershlp is composed a3 fol lows: Quarry men Portage Red Stone Com pany, Chicago, III.; Cleveland Stone Company, Malunc btoue Company, Cleveland; Furst, Jacobs it Co., Chicago: Ohio Stone Company,' Cleveland: Park fc Park, Freedom, Pa.; Forest City Stone Company, Cleveland; F.

A Sclicme to Confine the Bulk of the Trade to Local "Wholesale Men. Tbe wbolesalo lime dealers are to form a pro tective association. A preliminary meeting for the purpose of organizing was held in the Builders' Exchange a few days ago, and an other will bo held shortly when the permanent organization will bo effected. It li pronosed that each member shall put up a forfeit of 5100, which money remains in the treasury without interest. But at any time a member may withdraw and get his money back. The manufacturers anil wholesale supply dealers throughout the State of Ohio have also formed a combination, by which they pledge themselves to sell to tbo Pittsburg combina tion dealers with a margin of 5 per cent off for cab. The Ohio and Pennsylvania dealers will sell to all outside concerns at the rate of only 1 per cent off. So that the Pittsburg dealer when outside of the trust can buy as cheap at home aB be can from tbe dealers in Ohio. But by belonging to the union, he gains the 4 per cent additional in buWng from the Northwest ern Ohio Lime Company at Toledo through whom all orders are filled. Ine next meeting of tbe supply dealers here will be held on Mon day night, April 7, and thereafter the first Monday of each month. AN0THEB 8LIQHT EEDTJCTIOH. Employes of Carnegie, Plilpps & Co. "Will Soon Get a Cut in Wages, The quarterly adjustment of tbo Homestead steel scale will be made within the next few days. The indications are that the men will be obliged to submit to another slight reduc tion. Since July, lbS9, employes In the con verting, blooming, 23-lncb, cogging beam and plate mills and the opeu hearth departments of tbe Homestead works have been working under a sliding scale. 'Ihe base of tins scale Is billets at (23 a ton, below w hich wages shall not go. Probably at no time since the scale went into effect has billets sold so low as during the last three months. Prioes were quoted ou tbe very bottom-figures part of tbo time, and are not much in excess of that at present. The Settlement wa reached at tbe first of tbo year on a basis of i27 a ton. The basis for the next three months cannot bo above 326 which will make a reduction in present wages, of about S percent. The sliding scale agree ment, bow ever, is entirely satisfactory to the raon, wbo believe it is tho most equitahlo wage arrangement that has yet been agreed upon by employer and employe. Still Looks encouraging. The striking corkworkers held a meeting in the Grand Central Rink yesterday afternoon.

The figures for the quarter show a healthful and steady growth in the South's material development. The extraordinary activity in railroad build ing in tbo South is shown by the fact that dur ing the three months 93 new railroad compan ies wero Incorporated 13 In Virginia, 13 in North Carolina, 12 in Georgia, 10 in Alabama, 7 each in West Virginia, Tex is and South Car olina, and 11 in Tennessee.

ALKCADI DISCUSSfcD BI OFFICIALS The account of the Baltimore and Ohio projects to shorten the distance between Pittsburg and Chicazo by a river belt line and by the opening ud of an air line west ward, published exclusively in yesterday's DISPATCH, Was generally accepted by rail road men as a recital of the facts in the case. Unfortunately those who could best speak on tbe subject were either confined to their homes by sickness or were absent from the city. t Among the many called upon was Superin tendent Holbroofc, of the Baltimore and Ohio Kailroad. "I read the article in this morning's Dispatch," he said, "hat did not have time to scan it closely." After looking over tbe article in a copy handed bim. be stated that it nai news to him, and that even If it were correct he would know nothing about it unti! the consummation of tbe deal, and he had tuceired orders tbrouch the proper channel'. A telesram from Baltimore last nisht says, that Charles F. Mayer. President of the Balti more and Ohio Railroad, was out of the city. General Orlando Smith, V'ico President ot the company, in this connection said: "I know nothing whatever of tbe matters referred to in The DisrATCll, and I think if any of them had been dlscu-sed in tbe central building I should bave heard or it. Ilezardinp; tbo statement that Andrew Carnegie is to bo President ot tbo Baltimore and Ohio Kailroad I know nothing. President Alayer holds tho voting power ot the majority of tho stock. I bave heard nothing to indicate that he had the least intention of resigning the Presidency or surrendering his votinjr power. Perhaps if be makes up his mind to do the latter he may surrender u Mr. Carnesie or someone the. i know nothing ot any such intention on Mr. Mayer's part, nor do 1 believe that be entertains any such intention." Colonel James Andrews expressed bis Mews on tbe subject at the depot last night, prior to leaving for New Yort. "The scheme as projected in THE DIS PATCH," said he, "is not only what might bo expected, but is emincntlv feasible and practi cable. Tbe exigencies of Pittsburg's commerco yearly on the increase demanded the best and most facile transportation facilitiot. These are obtained by the. shortest and most practi cable route, and in tbe case ot tbe Baltimore and Ohio, the readiest route to tbe West is alon the line of the river, or, in other word", by a road connecting tbe Baltimore and Ohio depot with an Allebeoy terminus in Manches ter along the river front at Market street. Pittsbure's trade requires proper wbarfago and trading facilities, and what cnuld be more proper or of greater advantage to the city than a line of nareboues extending from uno bridge to tbe other? If the link line is re quired there can be no objectinn to building under it; If tbe warehouses are needed, why should not a belt line travel overhead t" "I traveled in tbe private carof the directors of the road when they were last here." con tinued the Colonel, "and this very a lies t ton of direct connection westward was dlsCuoed. It was held that ibe Junction road was too round about, and that some more dirpct route was necessary for competitive trafile. This, of course, wa from a passenger traffic point of view. While it was not specifically referred to I gathered that tbe river route was then nnder consideration. This is not by any means a new project. It was mentioned as a feasible scheme some years ago. In mv opinion, it vi ill soon be an accomplished fact." Hundreds of rolh oil cloth from 20c per yard to the best grades at Welty's, 120 Fed eral street, Co, 67, 69 and 71 Park way. tts What is 691?
