far- VI 10 THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH, SATURDAY, APRIL 11, 189L i -tt-ti rwrii I " " u-w.gr.grgCT3fitssBgaMsBBMiiSsssssssssiiSsIiiiiiiMMIiiiiiiiiM sa.3B,jajjsjcmFliijmfjlfuBgsjsjg3gMsBssB PIWj.swiwPBsBBMsMiHiMMHsBsiHiisiisMHi on the following day, and we were glad to obey him, for lone before mornine we got mortally tired of lying on the floor of tbe Huiashiya with only a futon between ui End it, and oulv a paper slide between mal and female. Fortunately, we knew what we were riskiuc in tbe way of victuals, 10 we brought tupplics of the foods and drinks befitting civilized stomachs. It was rather mn at uihtftll watching the closing up of the hotel. Firjfof all, they carefully fixed a row of papf r shutters all around our fitting room, aaifone up the middle to di vide male aii,tl-female, and then they slid "wooden slivrtters all round the outside, tbe last cue" of utiieli hail a feeble wooden bolt to-keep the whole from being opened. But the whole affair ws .-o flimsy that it would hare given way if a drunken man bad reeled against it. A tea house 01 a very different kind was the Maple Club (Koyokwan) at Sbiba, tbe most fashionable Japanese club, to which every per-onage lrom the court downward belouced. 1 ilon't think there are any sleep ing rooms. The t.well Jap goes there to banquet himself and look at dancing girls and play at fox and geese (undera Japanese name). V had a bauquet given us there, tbe most unique thing in wbich I ever took part. It began at -' o'clock in tbe afternoon and ended about C. It cost me the skin of my right hand and all its nails but one. Take Your Best Momach Along. The moment we alighted from our 'rikishas the pretty little musumes made us sit down and took off our boots. Thev had tbe maple leaf on their dresses, and con ducted us up the uiapiewood stairs into a maplcxrood double chamber, whose shoji vcre beautifully painted w ith maple trees at various seasons, and woodwork ornamented with maple 1-ai piercings. The big, soft silk futous (cushions) on which we sat were ornamented with ra.ijile leaves, and tbe bean flour wafers they brought us with the pre liminary' cup of te i were maple leaves of various tints. We were ranged lu a semi circle, trying to squat on our futons in the "second position" 01 rifle -shooters. "We each had an hibacbi (chaicoal Cnger stove), and a tall candle standing on the floor in front ol us, though it was only 2 o'clock in the afternoon. When our host clapped his hands a troop of little mil Eumes, shoeless, in white stockings with split toes, and vcrv picturesque cost nines. shuffled in, carrving the three-footed red lacquer trays ulncli contained the first course of tbe banquet. I am not going to describe the lood, .-s it makes me rather ill lo think of it, but I remember the rapture with which I found tin self the sole object of attention to a demure little damask-cheeked Oriental, who commenced operations un touching the lionr with her forehead and then squatted upon her haunches like a puppy, to watch me eat, which I never did. In flout of her she had a little saucer and a bonl lull of warm Hater, and an Apollin-aris-shaped bottle of hot sake. In theory, Ehe would have to he pouring me out saucer Jul niter saucerful ol hot sake, between each drink dipping the saucer into the hot water to cleanse antl warm it with tbe same motion. Hut the first stopped me. and I had tbe Philis tine next to me sent for a bottle nf beer, and then this Daniel produced lrom his overcoat pocket a large paper of sand tucbes, and we were independent ot the live fish and the sea slugs and tbe salted plums and the syruped potatoes and all the other Hastinesses of the Japanese epicure, which, by the by, we should have to eat with chop sticks, always Berved joined together, to show that they have never been used before. You have to break them apart like those Boston matches, wbich are called hell-something, from their brimstoniness. Then there -was a charming diversion. Pretty, exquis itely dressed girl musicians entered tbe back clumber with koto, biwa, and samisen, and were followed by the famous mapledancers, dressed in the most gorgeous brocades imag inable, with everything down to the backs of their fans and the tops of their hairpins -xnapled. An Accident and a Snrprise. Toe plaintive, quaint twanging com menced, and tbe fair dancers danced, as is usual in Japan, witu everything Put their feet They wriggled over at angles of about "00 degrees, and exhausted tragedy aud comedy with their fans, making the most awful grimaces with their powdered, eye browless, giit-lippcd faces, of the crane necked, elongated, oval type considered so aristocratic and lovely in Japan. I was seized with a burning'desire lo photograph them, unhmbered and got into position, with my Kodak and flash-light cartridges. I lit tbe fuse. Nothing seemed to happen, so I took up the cartridge, when it went off with the usual gun-accident promptness, remov ing all the skin and four of the nails of my right hand. In the midst of my pain I couldn't help being amused as I saw the dancers aud singers disappearing like rab bits. They knew it was dynamite, but grad ually the nerves or the establishment were restored to a tone which enabled them to bring oil and flour (I have al ways been in the habit of burning my hands since I was two years old, so I knew what remedies to apply). Sweet little musumes brought me all kinds of restora tives, and piled up soft silt cushions behind Tne and under my arms till it was like sitting in an armchair, and then the prettiest of all the performers knelt before me, and, touching the ground with her forehead, asked me through the interpreter it I was -well enough to stand the rest of the per formance. I answered "that the honorable tnusio and dancing might go on," which it did for the balance of tbe lour hours, with an extra dance for my benefit at tbe end, and then we went to onr 'rikishas, I escorted by all the females in the establishment, players, dancers and waitresses, carrying the ban quet I had been nnable to consume done up in seat little white wooden boxes. And then tbe lamps were lit, and we darted off into tbe darkness of the cryptomeria groves. One thing remains to be told. About a week afterward I received a series of ex quisite photographs. The dancers, to ex press their sympathy, had had themselves specially photographed in full costume and in the attitudes of dancing on purpose for me.

THE PEOPLE'S COLUMN A Farmer Gives His Idea of tbe Kind of a Road Law Wanted, FAULT IS THE COMMISSION BILL. A Presentation of the Strikers' Side of Coke Trouble. the IXFOEMATIOX FUR EAGEK INQUIRERS To tbe Editor of The Dispatch: The Harrisburg correspondent of The Dispatch says the road bill will lead to endless discussion in the House, that a strong feeling is being worked up against its passage in the country districts, much of which, if not all, is baseless, that the talk of increasing taxation and salaried officials has no louudationin fact, that tbe measure in place of being radical is very conserva tive, and that the talk is designed to scare timid members. Such an eclipse must have come from a pretense or corporate ally, as it labors to cover, over the facts the bill plainly sets forth. For the facts let us look up the former proceedings. Two years ago a law was enacted autboiizing tbe Speaker ot tbfc Senate to appoint 3 .commis sioners, the Speaker of the House 5 and the Governor 5 high-salaried privates, with hotel, stationery and traveling expenses, amounting to many thousand dollars, to inquire of the farmer how to make good roads. Alter tbe frolio was over, a bill was formulated creating a two-horse load of township officials, tbe supervisors to get no pay, aud handle no money, but subject to a bign-salaried superior county civil engineer to lay the roads off into highways and common roads. Let the engineer start at the first of April and he could not view the ten thousaud mud boles in a county iu time to instruct the supervisors, if it was possible be had such a capacity. This one official is sufficient to absorb the township's pro rata ol the Stato 51,000,000 appropriation, oi wuicn tue tanner pays sa per cent of 3" better let the farmer solve his own geometrical problems and equations when bis buy and ox get in the mudbole. Ol course he could not make such a nice draft of bills, and Iilats at bichways to send up to tbe Secretary of nternal Affairs, where it would take a host ot clerks to record the designs and expenses. If the Harrisburg correspondent and the Road Commission can't fatboin tbe bill's super ficial, worthless and unnecessary expenditures, it is because it is tangled up in its own intrica cies. Tho bill has plenty of longitude, but no common sense a baby of the stovepipe hat cor poration order. I live on a farm, and empha size the fact that a uniform road law Is demand ed, as many plans of repairs are inadequate. Many townships call out the taxpayers with pick and shovel to do tbe repairs and talk; some townships never drain or turu water off, but spend ail tax in pilirg stone in the mud holes, and in a short time the stone has sunk anay in the wet ground, while a mudbole is found at each end of tbe stoning. Here the tax Is live times as high aa in townships where good roadbeds are formed and well drained. The best system is the McKean. The road is laid off in halt-mile sections and sold to the lowest bidder, to be kept in repair for threo years with definite specifications to be entered in the book ol contracts. This allows the far mer to ork out his taxes or pay iu money, 'this law is efficient aud economical where there is no negligence. A section added to this law al lowing anv interested citizen to correct tho township audit on the section not repaired ac cording to the specifications, with power to sub let tbe contract, aud to deduct tbe cost from the supervisors' salaries at tbe annual settle ment, would make tne law compulsory, and all any law can be. The farmer's natural resources gives him am ple protection, but he tails when it comes to legislation, and then to set forth in a preamble that bois only a pre tender endowed with obscure wajs, is sliimelul. Honesty is tbe best policy, aud truth is mighty and must prevail. The farmer should wake up when the sun shines and look alter merit, caudor, integrity, fidelity and faithful responsibility if he expects to be represented, and as for macadams and street car rails there is no nisney, and ne bad better drop tbe egotist and office hunter. There is about as much use for tbe man In the moon to repair common roads as there is for superior of State and county officials. A little common sense Is worth more than money in making good roads, a high, round and smooth road bod, so the water will run ofl; aud whore tho ground is wet, deep water tables and under drainage, and stone where necessary, fills tlie bill. Bowek Hill, April 6. a Farmer. Tus Statement or a Striker, To tlio Editor or Tho Dispatch: Seeing an article In The Dispatch In which you say the miners have your sympathy in the present struggle if they refrain from using vio lence, I felt encouraged to ask you for a small space in your valuable paper to explain tbe true position of affairs in this part ot tbe coke region, as they have been sadly misrepresented by tbe operators and their minions, not only at the present time, but since tbe strike began. The cause of tbe strike was the determina tion of the men to resist a reduction of 10 per cent. Now. it is generally understood, I be lieve, that ihe Connellsviile miner is well paid. Yet how this misunderstanding prevails I am at a loss to know, for I have been working in the mines since 9 years of age. and I can truly say the miner of tbe Connellsviile region is tbe worst paid workmen I know of. For fear any of our readers may doubt my statement I uifl give some figures which do not lie. These figures have been collected at tbe Standard No. 2 works for the year 1890, and speak elo quently for themselves. For 18!0 there were -11 days worked, making an average of 20 days per month, the average wages of tho uigger being 1 40, an average ot 9.1.5c per day f jr .'.65 dajs. Deductions for rent and tools of 25.9c per day leaven CT.Oc per day. About 3 cents per day for coal leaves tii.Sc per day as net earnings on which to keep a family and pro vide all the necessaries of life. Tbe net earn ings of diggers, living in cheaper houses, amounts lo 70.7 cents per day. Net earnings of drivers ana roadmen 1 1 12 Net earnings of drivers aud roadmen 1 19 Net earnings of inside laborers 95c Net earnings of inside laborers 102.3c Net earnings of trappers 5G.Sc Not earnings of coke drawers 78.7c Net earnings of coke drawers 83 6c These are figures that cannot be. denied, and are a fair average of all the mines in this coke region. If they appeal not to the stmpathy of an impartial public, then goodby to justice. Is It any wonder, then, that we are resisting a re duction of 10 per cent off tho above prices, as coke, too. was selling before tbe strike at from $2 25 to 3 per ton? The dicger must work ten hours per day. or more. He must dig bis coal, load it, lay track and do bis posting, and is re munerated for all this labor by the paltry sum ot SI 49 per day, not speaking of tbe danger lie must undergo. Yet. in tbe face of this, tbe operators demand a reduction. Mr. Editor. I appeal to all lovers nf fair play If this is not the most glaring act of injustice imaginable. An act that could nut be excelled by tbe Government of despotic Russia. In conclusion, I would say that we on!y ask for a true representation in the daily press, and we are assured of victory. Many woiks re ported by tbe operators to be working aro still idle so far as the men are concerned, there only being a few bosses working and a little smoke mado at some of the ovens to delude tho men. Tbe workmen are prepared to hear such re ports lrom tbe operators, and are determined that their struggle, being a just one, they shall continue it until it is crowned with victory. Honing you will give this a place, I am, by order of Local Assembly 297, 11 u Pleasant, A striker. Tbe above was written before tbe fatal col lision, but pressure of news prevented earlier publication. A Chance for the Charitable. To the Editor of The Dls patch: Will you please lay tbe following appeal before your readers: It has been demonstrated that deaf children can be taught speech and lip read iug. be educated and be enabled to communicate with their families aud friends through the. same, and a number of pore oral schools lor such instruction are in existence in the United btatcs. To the complete success of tbe method, however, It is necessary that these deaf chil dren should be guided and trained to speech lrom tho age when bearing children begin to learn to talk. As the tnaiorltv of these children are Door. and as all mothers, even of those who are not poor, do not understand bow to train tbem to speech, M Fuller, principal or tbe Horace Mann Dr.y School for -tho Deaf (pure oral), Boston, 'stablishcd two years ago, a home for tbe training In speech of deaf children before they are of school age. Uhe necessary fumli for commencing the good work in New Eng land were raised by tbe mother of a success fully tralnrd dtafcblhl. The children are, of course, under tbe care of persons specially trained for that purpose, and their progress already aires great encouragement. Miss Fuller, who bis been Principal nf the Horace Mann Day School for tbe Deaf for liiany years, sas: "Does it aot saemamost unaccountable that the earliest years or deaf children's lives have been bo lontr overlooked lu the plans for ilitif mental development?" It is proposed to establish In the Middle States, as speedily as possible, such a borne as Mist Fuller has established in New England, aud tbe public are earnestly requested to con tribute to the Endowment Fund required for the iam. Subscriptions may ba lent to Frank K. Hippie, 1840 Chestnut strut, Phila delphia, Pa., who baa consented to tot a Treasurer. B0RANTON, PA., April 9. Want the tTharr Cleaned. To the Editor or Tbe Dispatch: Allegheny a city of the second class. That sounds pretty nice; but I think that that part of Its wharfs and River avenue lying between An derson and Morgan streets would disgrace a country village. The last flood left a deposit of rubbish that will create disease if left much longer. It has been there now for nearly two months. There can hardly be any excuse for so long a delay in having it removed. The at tention of tbe authorities has been called to it once at least that I know of; but I suppose they are too busy trying on their new dresses to at tend to the needs of us poor mortals. Now, if tbe Chief of Public Highways will call around soon and clean this place up, he will gain the everlasting gratitude of a lew citizens. ClTIZEX. ALLEGHENY, April 8. The Bermudas. To tbe Editor ot Tbe Dispatch: Please intorm me where tho Island ot Ber muda is situated, the extent thereof, to what nation or country it belongs, bow many inhabi tants, and bow far from this country. G. MoGbeqob. "Wellsville, O.. April 8. The Bermudas is a croup of small Islands Delonging to Great Britain. They lie in tbe Atlantic 5S0 miles S. S.

As to Shinplasters, To tbe Editor of Tbe Dispatch: To settle dispute, please answer the follow ing in your valuable paper as soon as conveni ent: AbeisB that the paper 5. 10, 15. 25 and 50 cent pieces were in general circulation in tbe year 187G: B bets they were called in before this date. Daily Reader. JonxsTOtv-jr, April 9. Some fractional currency may have been in circulation in 1876. The Treasury, so far as we can ascertain, did not issue a call for fractional paper currency, but replaced it with silver as fast as it was withdrawn from circulation and destroyed. Silver currency was freely circu lated in the centennial year. Tlie British Succession. To the Editor of Tbe Dispatch : Should the Prince of Wales die before the Queen, would his eldest son become King after the Queen's death, or the Queen's eldest daughter, the ex-Empress of Germany, become Queen? If sho should become Queen, would her son, the Emperor of Germany, become King of England? J.B. HULTOJf, April 10. Tbe succession rests with the family of the Prince of Wales. In case of his death bis eldest son would be heir to the throne. Then that eldest sou's eldest son and so ou. A Supposltitioua Case. To the Editor of The Dlspateh: In case the Nicely Brothers had been hanged Innocent and afterward the guilty person or persons confess to be tbe murderers, could they be tried for murder and hanged if found guilty after the Nicely Brothers have suffered tbe penalty of the Ian ? G. H. Jeanxette, April 9. A judicial murder does not prevent a mur derer from beiug punished at the law pre scribes. Democrats In the South To the Editor or Tlie Dispatch : Will you inform a subscriber to your paper if tho majority of Democratic voters nf tbe South are Catholics. SUBSCRIBER. Wilmerdixo, April 8. No exact figures are obtainable, but it is safe to say that the majority, and probably a large majority, of the Democrats of tbe South are not Catholics. Touirgest Hcpubllca.

Some Watch the Sheriff, Others Guard the Streets and Turn ltack Pedestrians, While the Main Body Do the Business All In an Ohio Town. Kenton, O., April 10. "William Biles, who murdered Policeman Harper on Tues day night of last week, was taken from jail by a mob of about 50 men at 2 o'clock this morning and hanged to a tree nearby. Tbe mnb gained entrance to the jail br breaking down tbe door. The noise awakened Sheriff Neville, who rushed down stairs with a re volver. A doz:n men met him at the foot of the stairs and thrust four revolvers in his face, demanding the jail keys, saying they wanted to get Bales to haug him. The Sheriff refused to get tbe keys, not having them with him. The mob found the keys in an adjoining room, opened the jail doors, secured Bales, and gave him only time to put on his pants and a pair of slip pers. Tbey then took him out and banged him to a maple tree on AVayne street, near North street, about 50 yards from the jail. The mob. was well organized, and-all wore black masks except one, wbich was white, and was worn apparently by the leader. Not more than 20 minutes elapsed lrom the time the door was broken open till Bales was dangling between earth and sky. He did not make any outcry, uud only groaned a few times while leaving the jail cell. Sentinels guarded all approaches leading to tbe jail. Nobody was allowed to approach nearer than a square. The mob dispersed as quickly and silently as ii gawereu, an going iu Qinereut direc tions. Nobody saw the hanging except the lynchers. Some guarded the Sheriff, while others stood on the street corners and stopped pedestrians lrom approaching. Who the mob were and where theTy came from is a mystery.

A Few of tbe Topics to Be Presented by Oar Iiocal Pnlpits. GLEANINGS FROM CHURCH FIELDS The following editorial note from this week's United Presbyterian is well put. "Tho time was when a minister was sure to be honored becanse of his office, but that time has passed. Bespeet for ministers who are worthy of respect has not passed away; they were never more respected than at pres ent. If a minister would be loved and revered be must be a true man and a Christian gentleman. If be is not, his cler ical coat will not shield him from dis honor." In tbe long run ministers snd all will receive the respect to which they are entitled., Trne worth is sure to win, how ever much it may be clouded for a time. In tbe 'fountain head of Presbyterianism, namely Scotland, tbe Lord's anointed is treated with greater deference, perhaps, than anywhere on tbe eartb. The -minister there, once he ba's a charge, ranks with the nobility in the.popular sentiment Scotland is tbe paradise of preachers. The American idea places ministers on tbe tame level with all, and pays deference only to the minister who is worthy of deferenee. After all, the true minister cannot object to the American sentiment, whioh requires that the Lord's anointed shall prove their title clear to respect before it is accorded.

New England's Famous Institution and IU Primitive German Origin An Excellent Training for Orators and Debaters in Embryo Benefits ot the Town Meeting: WBITTEJt FOR THB DISPATCH. John Adams is the author of the much cited statement that American government rests on four corner stones the town meet ing, the church, the militia and the school. The statement,is philosophical and sugges tive. It should always be cited, particularly by writers in Europe, with a distinct under standing of what we mean by tbe words town, churcb, militia and school. For a New England town and it was of this that John Adams spoke is not a town in tbe English sense. A .New EDgland church is not an English church. Tbe New England militia is not the English militia, and the New England school is not the English school. The American Town Defined. The difference rests in this that ia each of the four cases, the New England "corner stone" represents all the people, good, bad and indifferent, rich and poor, wise and foolish. In England, or on the continent of Europe, each represents one or more classes, but not all. For instance, the English militia is not an assemblage of all tbe people in a given district able to bear arms. And if we speak of an English town, we mean, not all the people ol a certain dis trict, but all the people who live iu houses contiguous to each other. The younger American writers of our own time have been occupying themselves with tbe historical question, whether in New England tbe government of the State made the towns, or whether the towus made the State. I believe it is thought that De Tocqueville overstated the autocracy of tbe town meeting, and that, historically, ns each modern town has derived its power to be from the State, it has bad doled out by the State such power to act as it has used. 1 doubt, however, whether anv of the founders of towns iu Massachusetts in the seventeenth century or iu the eighteenth, would have taken much interest in such a discussion. And they would have been amused, but not much edified, if they had been told that the germ of their town meet ings was to be fouud in German forests or iu the institutions of Alfred. The Primeval German Origin. Whoever reads their chronicles will find a great deiil of what their successors call "horse seuse'involyiug ability to deal with practical problems. But he will find very little analysis by themselves of the origin of their powers. Certain things were to be done. They were there to do tbem. .Their united power represented tbe maximum of power for the doing of tbose things. Nobody else would help them no king, no parliament, no gen era! court. If they did not build the bridge, make the road, or hire tbe school master or the clergyman, buy the musket or the match, nobody else would do it Accordingly, whether the general court told them they might do these things or not, they did them, if they could and wanted to. If they did not, they did not. And in gen eral this ha3 been the rule till very recent times. For instance, the city ot Boston wauted to open free baths, and it opened them without asking leave of anybody. If the boys need an unmolested coast on the Common, tbe city builds bridges over the coast, and asks no leave of any one.

FLEMING & SON, 412 Market street, mbl9-S2 Pittsburg. s the courts, in one or tw very stiff deoisions, hare confined tbe rights of towns to do as much as they chose, if what they did served tbe general welfare. In historical fact, the settlers -of Massa chusetts were already grouped more or less distinctly when they arrived at their new homes. Tbe groups acted for their local purpotes, while they recognized the authority of the General Court lor general purposes. Authority of tho Selectmen. Tte name. that each group gave its officers showed whence their authority came. They were "selectmen," men who had been set over them. There is in the records of the General Court no trace of authority to choose these selectmen. They were selected by just the same authority as would have selected the men to carry timbers lor a bridge.or to yoke the oxen when "the town" was building or mending its highways. Somebody must do certain things, and the town selected the men who should do tbem. From this common-sense way of managing affairs there grew up an admirably elastic but strong way system of local adminis tration. If a town could have a school open all tbe year, it bad it. But if it could only open the school 20 weeks, it did that; if it could carry jt 30 weeks, it did that. If it can build an iron bridge over a stream, it does; it it can only have a log bridge, it has that; if it must be satisfied with a ford, why it must be and is. One has only to compare this with tbe delay and annoyance, with the "fuss nud feathers" belonging to French ad ministration, where a central bureau must report about tbe stream, and a plan for the bridge must be sent down from Paris, to see why tbe New Englander hates centralization more than is really wbe, in his conscious ness that on the wholj "there is no manure like the foot of the owner," and that, in general, people should be left to manage their own affair?. As a school for government, tho town- meeting has proved itself invaluable. The States which never looked kindly on it bave suffered more than they know for the lack of such a school. A Logical and Oratorical Training. There is no training lor debate or oratory equal to that where people who know each other are to be convinced, and where words are weigbed by a standard balance wbich pays fit regard to the real worth of him who utters them. The proud bov who is per mitted to drive his father down to tbe meeting, learns lessons of government there which no textbook could teach him. He fastens tbe horse in the town shed. He goes into the meeting-bouse and takes his modest place on the side seats, while tbe elders and other leaders confer in front. The moderator is chosen, the warrant is read. The select men say what they have done and why, and what they have left undone and why. Every grumbler there has bis rights, and may talk. They have their rights, also, and they may derend their policy, their characters and their administration. In that cross-fire, in the discussion of details, or ia the con sideration of principles, the boy learns, both of methods and of realities, lessons which he cannot gain elsewhere. Rings cannot exist where the town meet ing holds its own. If the mayor oi a city chooses to be treasurer of aa electric light company, he may enrich himself and ruin his reputation by tbe contact which, as mayor, he makes with himself as treasurer. But this could not be if you bad a town meeting. The sekctman has to appear in person and answer all questions. "I should like to know why tbe granite for the curbstone was taken from White Hill, and not :ro the town ledge?" The man who took the granite must stand up and say wbv. Woe to him if he cannot stand that ordeal. I have been glad to know that one, at least, of the thriving towns of the Western Reserve in Ohio has considered seriously the question of introducing the town meeting proper in its methods of home administra tion. Eiiward Everett Hale. Boston, Mass., April 1. A FOEMER PITTSBU20EB. General Serfel Likes Railroading lo the South Better Than Here. General G. M. Serfel, of Norfolk, regis tered at the Monongahela House yesterday. Formerly the General was Master of Trans portation for the 'old Pittsburg and Con nellsviile road, but in 1881 be went South to engage in the lumber business. He also returned to railroading and became General LManagei'ot the Norfolk and Carolina road, wnicn connects witn tne Atlantic coast line system. "Railroad business is much easier to handle in the South than in the North, and I have no desire to return," he said. "We have so much room down there, while here you are badly cramped. The Baltimore and Ohio ought to own all thegrouud along the river to Glcnwood, but in the early days the wonderful growth ot the city was not foreseen. The land couldn't be bought now. It would swamp the road." Mr. Serfel is interested in the McClure Coke Company, and he came North to be posted on the situation. He says tbe de mand for coke at present is so poor lhat it hardly pays to start the works. He thinks the labor troubles will soon be amicably set tled. Mr. Serfel yesterday renewed his ac quaintance with Baltimore and Ohio offi cials, who were glad to see him. FANNIE B.
