Patrick Moran, of St. Louis Insisted on See ing Father Mollinger Before He Died llrought to the City by Congressman 0'tl A Very Sad Case. Of all the sick people who have seen Father Mollingcrin the last month, none of the cases aro sadder than that of Patrick Monti), u wealthy Irishman from St. Louis. Ho is suf fering from a cancer, tind realizes that he can't live much longer. Mr. Moran is, an in telligent man, and wns determined to sco the aged priest, for whom he has unbounded respect, before he died. He arrived in tho city last eiening accompanied bv his beautiful daughter and Congressman 0NXeil, the famous Democratic joker of the House. A more careful attendant than the genial humorist could not have been se lected, and with the keenest sympathy he assisted the brakeman tocarry the aged suf ferer from tho train. His lively jokes chased away the look of agony from tho old man's face, and ns long as his friend O'Nell w as by hle side he was happy. Mr. OJXeil tcle eraphed Father Mollinger they were com ing, -and the priest received them at his homo-last evening. They drove dlrectly-to Troy Hill from tho depot, and returned to St. Louis on the So'clock train this morning. In speaking of Mr. Moran afterward the Congressman said: "He Is among my best friends and know s he can't live much longer. He insisted seeing no Father Mollinger, not that he thought thepriestjcould help him.but he wanted to shake his hand before he died. Ills family and 1 did whatwc could to per suade him not to go, for he was liable to dio on the road, but he told ine at the depot in St. Louis Inst evening that he wouldinako the trip. alono if I n ould notnecompanv him. I have been nervous all the way to this city, and will feel easier if wc get him home. alive. Father Mollinger treated us with tho great est courtesy, and frankly told Mr. Moran that only (foil could cure him. He replied that he knew it, but he wanted to see tho priest before he ended his days. This is the first time 1 oversaw Father Mollinger. but I was struck with his pious example, lie is a remarkable man and the living embodiment of a noble sentiment. It is surprising in what high esteem he is held all over the country." Mr. O'Xetl, as usual, cracked n few fresh jokes, but ho had little to say about polit ic.-. He said he was not w orrying about the next House, and he supposed the new members would not be hard to handle. He was glad to see that Pennsylvania occasionally had a lucid interval and"clecteda Democratic Uov crnOr. THE STATE OWNS THE OIL. Hog Islanders' Difficulties Increased by the Finding of Perrolenm. The striking of oil on Hog Island compli cates the question as to its ownership. The claimants arc satisfied and seem to think their claim is strengthened rather than weakened, while Attorney X. W. Shafer holds that it puts the defendants in the suits brought for taking sand in better sliape In that it more fully raises the question. Mr. Shafer holds that the getting of oil docs not come under the State grants allow Ing per sons to take out patents lor the coal under the bed of a navigable stream. This, he says, was a specific act and was limited to the coal, and that the fctatc disposed of noth ing else in granting patents for the mining of eoal. The ri ers arc owned jointly by three par ties. The owners of land fronting on navi gable streams own to low water mark, but cannot put obstructions tonaiigation. The I'nited States owns an easement in the rivers and can jerk anybody out of bis boots who interferes with tlurt easement, while the commonw calth owns the bed and all be neath. Accordingly the question, narrows itself down to an inquiry as to whether the prop erty in dispute is an island or a bar. It sup ports luxuriant vegetation, but tho defend ant sand haulers contend that the big crop of willows is not a merchantable article and that the bar raises nothing else, and there fore cannot be called arable land. Mcanw hile the merry war goes on. Fresh suits hai e been entered against parties who are said to have taken sand since the lirst suit wns brought. ME. FRAUENHEIM DEAD.

Mr. Frauenhcim died yesterday shortly after noon. His death was sudden and unexpccted,aiid although hchad been ill for some time, nothing of a serious nature had been anticipated. Shortly before noon ho went into his yard at Thirty-eighth street and Penn avenue, and alter rinimr a little 'work became faint, and hail to be removed into the house. He died shortly after froni the effects of heart failure, superinduced, it is presumed, bv the heat. The deceased was 71 j ears old, and leaves a wife and live children, three sons and two daughters.

The deceased has been connected with the Iron City Brewing Company since it was started, being the senior member of monrm. AN INSANE SOLDIEE. A Victim of Paresis Taken from the Hanks In Montana to Washington. One of the sad features of army life that occasionally' como to the surface was an in sane soldier nt tho Union depot last evening.

He ap peared to be Intelligent enough in his rav ings, but the familiar laugh of the manjac betrayed his condition. On the way in from St. Louis ho became much attached to c. Pullman conductor. Ho would follow him aronnd like a dog, and do anything he would tell him, while he would resist his guards with a savage ferocity. OBJECTIONABLE HUMANITY. More Protests Made Against the Corner Loafing Kill. "The comer loafer is a nuisance in this city and should not be tolerated," said Mai or Gourlcy yestcrda. The remark was occa sioned by the appearance of a young latly at the oflice, who had a protest to make against allowing crowds of men to stand staring at ladies. The young woman was so decidedly dis gusted with such loafers as usually congre gate about the postollice corner that she in sisted on Officer Grimes escorting her pat them. She then went up to sec the Mayor about it. Fell From the Flatrorm.

City Attorney Moreland's Plan for Street Improvements. SEVENTY PETITIONS TO COURT For tho Appointment of Viewers to Assess Damages and Expenses of Sewers. PEOPLE TAID UP ARE GIVEN CREDIT City Attorney Moreland, after weeks of hard work, has the street improvement question in good shape for tho rapid fulfill ment of tho new legislative enactments. To day he will go into court with petitions for viewers on tho 35 streets whero. assessments hnvo not been collected. With tho 15 pe titions of the same nature filed last Saturday, this will make about 100 improvements upon which immediate action is to bo taken. Tho courts arc expected to set apart a couplo of days In the second week of next month to the consideration of tho petitions and the appointment of tho viewers. , , Attorney Moreland expects test cases will be decided promptly wnen presented in the local courts and that tho appeals will bo made and shaped up in time for presenta tion to the Miprcmo Court by thefirs't of next November, thu securing a decision from tho higher body before tho end of the present fiscal year. This, Mr. Moreland thinks, will be making ns much speed as can possibly bo expected, and if it should hap pen that the new laws aro not sustained the city's offices will be prepared to make proper provision for tho payment of the claims. In speaking of tho situation yester day, he said: Plans of the City Attorney. "There will bo presented to court 70 peti tions for viewers to assess costs, damages and expenses of constructing sewers alone. Now, all these sewers aro in tho Kust End but three. These cases aro all in Common Pleas No. L It was believed best to have one court take chargo of this character of improvement, because tho sewers form a completo system and are mutually intcr- w oi en or iiuineuiaieiy connecieu wiin cucn other. The most important sewer is that known as the Thirty-third street sewer. It is intended to drain a watershed of some. 1,800 acres. Much time will necessarily bo consumed in this case, and In my judgment it should be in the hands of a separato board of viewers. There are two other main sew ers upon which probably a separate board will be appointed, but thoothers aro ordinary pipe sew ers, and will not rcquiro great work to settle. "The cases of grading, paving and curbing in the old city and on the Miutuside will ail be presented in Common Pleas Court Xo. 2. There are about 18 ot these cases, including Boggs, Shiloh and Wyoming avenues. 1 sup pose these eases will bo in part bitterly con tested. There is not a particle of equity in them, whatever the law may be. Boggs and Shiloh have not paid a dollar lor an of the work, the petitioners eyen refusing to honor their own w ork by recognizing their obliga tion to pay. llowei or, my experience is that the ordinary citizen thinks it all light to get whatever lie can from tho public and pay just as little as possible. Separate Hoards Not Required. "The cases for grading, paving and curb ing in the East F.nd arc all to be presented in Common Pleas Court No. 3. There aro some 20 cases involved, and they can vcry gcncrally be considered by ono board, or two nt most. I do not believe that the act contemplates a separate board for each im provement, as somo folks seem to believe; lor, if it did, tho cost would bo so great that the city could far more economically pay off the whole list of improvements without at tempting to collect a cent. You can easily see How a Board of Viewer.-, appointed to assess the cost and damages on a street, could w hile a whole mouth on the work 'and get their $o each per day. and that sort of thiug carried out on the 103 or more improve ments we are now working on would cost the citi just about $1,550 per day, and in tho end more than halt the work done by the viewers would have to be gone over again andjust double the expense. We believe that the courts will mvor our plan ol select ing only a few boards, as I have indicated, getting men of experience, who will go through with the work with full justice to even- property holder affected and the city as well. "Alter thopetitionsnre filed the Court will fix a time, say about July 8, to hear these ap plications lormally. Notice must be given by handbills, at least ten duys before tho hearing, and advertisements must also be inserted in the newspapers. At the time fixed tho Court proceeds with the appoint ment of the various boards of view ers who, after appointment, enter upon the duties prescribed. It is likely much time will be occupied, as all the lines arc to he noted. testimony taKen, plans preparea, reports made, names of owners glvcnand very much of detail work perlornied. , "It is likely that the city will furnish a place for these boards of viewers to meet, and in w hich all records enn be kept, wit nesses and interested parties heard, etc. It w ill never do to have 'these boards roving everywhere, or fixing any placo and time w hich may be suggested." The boards will be clothed with large powers; they arc tho judges between the citizens, and have a large duty to perform, namely: ascertain damages and fairly and ratably assess par ties peculiarly benefited. But as their work will unquestionably be assailed from time to time, it is important that records of all their proceedings should be carefully kept, in order that tho viewers may explain in couit tho reasons for their action. Will 'eed a Competent Clerk. "To do this properly it will be neces sary to have a competent and skillful clerk. No doubt the city will furnish such a clerk, us all expenses of these proceedings must be borne by the city. It will also be necessary to have one or two persons to serve notices, post handbills, and make returns and affidavits. This, too, will be at public expense. "In fairness and m justice every dollar of this money should bo assessed upon private property and oaid into tho city, because there is not one of those improvements that has not honestly benefited private property to the full extent of assessments made. "In several cases tho old Board ot View ers lully completed the assessments, and many persons so assessed have paid. And I w ill say that all such can rest easy as to the luturc. They w ill not be compelled to pay a cent more. There ait many persons, I know , w ho would willingly come in and pay if the were not afraid mat a new Board of Viewers might mean a new and a second as sessment upon them. They would lclieve tho city gicatly if they would only discard this fear and como m with their money. Tlie new Viewers will be asked to credit every owner of property who has paid his assessment. It would lie grossly inequit able, even if legal, to make a reassessment against those w ho have voluntarily paid. Those Paid Up Will Do Credited. "If a property owner should come now and offer to pay his assessment his money would bo received, receipted for and full credit given him. Xo other or further assessment could be made against him. Tho records show all payments. We shall have a sched ule at the proper time so as to see tlutt no in justice is done the owners who have paid. "It ii ill require all summer to do this work and probably much longer. You have no conception of the labor already expended in this preliminary woik, and it is but n drop of the whole amount. We' will press our cases for a test as quickly as the law will nllow, and I am glad to say some, of the gentlemen at the bar arc w illing to expedite matters so that ivc shall know where we stand. "Ever- completed piece of work relating to public improvements will be included in the list of petitions to be presented to tho court. These-petitions nio filed now to save months of time. If the Supreme Court affirms the validity of tho remedial legisla tion nndcr which wo aro proceeding, wo shall hai e nearly all these cases In shape to proceed with the collections. Ofcourse.it is not contemplated to take nny more to tho Supremo Court than sufficient to test ever' phase of our pew acts. Should wo succeed wc shall be able to pay into the treasury a good deal of money early in tho coming year and this will work a great relief to tho contractors, and through them, to the city."

Its TSurgcss Decidedly In Favor of Extend ing tho Sewerage System. Wilkinsburg is nothing if not progressive. Sho has been paying particular attention to her public works lately, and the result is seen in the improved condition of the borough streets everywhere. Talking about AVilkinsbm-g in general yes terday Mr. S. B. Mercer, tho Burgess, said: "What Wilkinsburg needs is a complete system of sowcrnge, and there is a strong determination on tho part of the citizens to get it. Somo timo ago a committee was ap pointed to confer w ith similar committees lrom Brushton, Edgcwood and the city to decido ns to the possibility of building a sewer that should pass down toSeven-Mllo Bun, This sower, it is estimated, will cost about $50,000 n mile. Thero are about three miles to cover, so that the total will reach $150,000. Of this Wilkinsburg must pay ono third. The money will bo raised by bonds nnd will bo voted' upon by the people. This sewerage question is a very important one. Sooner or later it must bo determined and the sooner the better for thoboiough. There w as to have been a Council meeting on Mon dnv night to settle the question, but it was so liot that w e had to postpone It." "What about tho Fourth of July celebra tion in Wilkinsburg?" was asked. '"We intend to line tho streets with red, white and blue," replied Mr. Mercer, sig nificantly. ON ONE SITE AT LAST.

The Sudden .Rise in Temperature Knocks Many of Them Ont. MASTER BUILDERS TAKE A STAND. They Will Indenture Apprentices and Em ploy 3Icn Indiscriminately. THE IRON SCALE SENT TO THE PEIXTERS While tho business man in his oflice, the store, and thegreat number of thoso ono finds on the thoroughfares, nil think they are about as much in commoded by tho high tem perature as anyone could be.- Thcro is a nu merous class of hard working men to whom a high range in tho temperature moans much moro than personal inconvenience. Thoso are the iron workers nnd glass makers. Tho occupation of the iron worker, even In cold weather, necessitates an exposure to an in tonso heat, but w hen this issupplementcd by n high temperature tho iron worker is obliged to submit to a ro.isting such as few pcoplo nro aware of. Though inured to tljo heat very many ot them succumb to tho addi tional imposition placed upon them by tho sun god, and thus lose much of their earnings. In Shoenberger's mill, for 'example, two thirds of the furnaces were idle through tho inability of the men to stand the heat. They gavo in on tho night turn on Monday, nnd yesterday's day turn kept aloof from tho mill. This'plant is roomy and open nnd cal culated to benellt by any breezes thnt might rise, but tho thermometer yesterday marked 100 in the puddling department. A laborer named Frank Cornidge, who lives on Ohio street, Allegheny, was knocked out during tho forenoon and was sent homo. "Where tho Mercury Floats nigh. When The PisrATCii reporter visited the Wayne mill of Ill-own & Co. the puddling furnaces were nearly all running. Some of them had, however, knocked off. The re porter placed a thermometer within seven ,feet of a furnace in tho center of tho depart ment, nnd the fluid crept up from 94 to 115 in ten minutes. Somo of tho puddlers, when asked what they supposed was the tempera ture they were working in, gave estimates varying from 130' to 200J. In this as in other mills the meh worked with ns little clothing as possible, some of them stripping to the waist. One man w ho had been taking a spell at tho furnace came into the open with the persperatlon running from him in streams. The llrm supplies the workers with plenty of ice cold water. Fifteen hundred pounds of ice arc used daily to cool tho pipes through which the water passes. Some of 'the men bring oatmeal to place in their water and other use cold tea. At the S.iblo mill only two heats were got out on Thursday night. In this mill, as in others, tho preialen beverage is ice cold water and beer is not indulged in, as a gen eral rule, by tho mon "while working. The experieneo of the managers spoken witli shows that the men who used much beer w cro the first to give in to the heat. Twenty Iron Workers Prostrated. Among Southside mill workers the greatest sufferers were the puddlers. The could only run on an average of three heats, and many w ere unablo to run any. In the Sligo Itolling Mills about half tlie force went homo and then they wore only working on half time. The heat was especially sevcro on tho workmen in tho Clinton Iron Works. The firm resumed work yesterday after a long shutdown. Twenty cases ot prostra tion occurred, and the effect of tho extreme heat was evident in the reduced number of heats and the weakened energies of the men. Tho moulders and glassbiowers experi enced no inconvenience from the high temp erature. The work not being of such kind ns to be affected by the outside weather, at least sucn was tne opinion or many or those questioned concerning the matter. Thogreat question with thoso most afflicted was that of drink. Tho effects of over drink ing caused many serious mishaps, and several men were seized with cramps thiough the water they had to drink. Ice water was, of course, excluded, and the only resort left was spring water or beer. There w cro many complaints entered by the men of the Sligo works on the quality of water afforded them, it being muddy and warm. I3eerwa eonsnmedin buckets lull by the thirsty workers. One man claimed to have made away with 23 schooners himself. TAKING A FRESH STAND. Tho Rullders Exchange Issues an Unmls tnkable Stnteinent of Its Position Ap prentices Will be Indentured, and Any Man fill en Employment They "Will Concedo Nothing. Tho Builders' Exchange issued nn official statement last night through its Press Com mittee, w hich indicates the policy which the masters have adopted in unmistakable lan guage. It is war to tho end; the masters lay dow n a platform, f rqm which they will not depart, and on the other hand the men nro equally dedcrmlncd. The struggle is thus given a new and decided impetus. Tlie ofllcial statement commences by as serting thnt Mr. S artz's declaration of tacts are so evidently designed to deceive tho workmen nnd misinform the public ns to make n -statement from tho Exchange neces sary. Itegarding the conference question, it is announced that it was considered that if the men had anything to suggest which might lead to a settlement that they w-ould ask for a conference. 2s"o direct requests have been made. Tho Exchange had already declarod its policy. Tho statement con tinues: The masters of tho various trades reserve to themselves the right to employ men, whether union or not. They do not object to union men, nor will they oppose tho unions as such. They will not dismiss a man because he is not a mem ber of a union, how over. If ho can bo per suaded to join a union, that is his own af- lalr. ine masters also nisscnt trom the dic tation of tho unions that foremen must be long to tho unions, tor tho reason that fore men cannot serve their employers fnithfully nnd at tho same time avoid harrassnient and mild persecution at the hands of unionists who expect that, because he is a member of the union, he should favor them in time, character of work, etc., at the expense of his employer. Instances are numerous where foremen have been subjected to lines and other lorms of punishment by unions for refusal to obey behets of workmen. Tho masters have concluded to indenture all ap prentices In conformity with tho laws of tho Commonwealth: to hold them under such indenture until they will havo served their time, and to pay them inci eased wages every few months until they will hai c served their lull time, at the expiration of which they will receive a certificate testifying to the fact that they have served a full apprentice ship to the trade. T.iey w ill pay tho same wages as were paid last year for the same kind of work, for nine hours' . service and eight hours on S-itiuday. The eight hour day will not be assented to for the reason with winch tho nubile is fa miliar. Tho membership of the Builders' Exchange numbers 95 i firm and individuals. Affiliated with it aro over 30t contractors who arc members ot the various associations of tho master builders. In these associations collectively aro included nearly all tho mas ter builders and manufacturers of nnd deal ers in builders' supplies in Allegheny county. These bodies are solidified. Their members feel thnt building for this year Js practically killed and they nro therefore indifferent as to whether tire striking work men determine to go to work or not. They have nlniostns many men at work as they have employment for. In any event thoy would be obliged to dismiss u large number of men carlv in the autumn when the small amount of work w hich Is to be done.and that w hich might bo started later, would be welL underway. Thero were, on tho date of the last meet ing of the Master Builders' Association, Uth inst.. 301 carpenters at work, employed by it different firms and individuals, ft is bo lievcd thero aro over 600 carpenters at work, exclusive of thoo employed In the planing mills, or nbout.9-.i5 in all. Thcie arc tO to 100 bricklayers at work also. Thero are many men at work not reported, nearly every contractor having from ono to live, nearly as many as they need to do the work they havo on hand, and prospectively. With the exception of the King building on Liberty street no contract has been lost or assigned to another, the persons building having notified contractors not to worry theinselves about tho no(K, though many were in urgent hnste to havo their buildings completed. But ono dealer In supplies hns violated tho regu lations nnd resolutions of tho Exchange, nor is there nny reason to apprehend that nny more will. The strike is, therefore, no nearer a settlement than it was live weeks ago, unless tho men decido to go to work at 9bours n day on tho basis of last year's scale, with the modifications already mentioned. WILL MEET TO-DAY.- Plate Men Will Make an American Class! flcation of the Product. Another meeting.of the Tin Plate Associa :1a-D.J tlon will bo held at the Anderson to-day. II. Ilannnnnd Secretn-yC. K. Britton, of Clo'veland, nrrlved yesterday. Mr. Britton said thnt the meeting would be short, and nn attempt would be made to classify plates on a basis more suitable to the American trade. Mr. Croncmeyer and scvontl other gentlemen n III havo reports to offer on this subject. Ex-Congressmnn Xlcdringhaus, of St. Louis, is now hi New York, and is ex pected nt the meeting. Ho is ono of the wealthiest manufacturers in tho country. Mr. Britton said furthor that thov wore , making good progress on their plant In Cleveland, but It would tnko some time be-, foro they will bo ready to turn out plate. THE IB0K SCALE DECIDED bTOK. Steel Men Have the Floor To-Day East erners Likely to Ask for More Money. The Amalgamated Convention finished up the consideration of tho iron scale last even ing and ordered it sent to the printers. It will be published to-morrow. Tho readers of The Dispatch aro already familiar with its principal points from the publications re garding it, which havo appeared from titno to time. Some extras have been added, bu,t tho scale will be found to contain nothing to interfere with its general acceptance. Consideration of tho steel scalo will be commenced to-day. As far as prices are concerned, tho iron scalo has determined the rate in this, becanso the iron workers will not grant an increase to the steel men when they havo legislated on the old price for themselves. Discussion w III turn mostly on the principles on which tlie scalo shall .ho based. The feeling in favorof aslidingscalo is pretty general, and tho convention mny mnke this principle general. Settlement of the liistern iron scale will como up following the steel. This is gen erally left to tho Eastern delegation. It is understood that if the Easterners want moro money -ft JjO per ton is the present, boiling rate "the Westerners will assent. Such a course win benefit the latter by placing their employers in n better position to com pete in the Eastern market. A resolution of thnnks was passed to tho sympathizers with tho locked out members of tho association nt Logan, Mifflin county. John AV. Jones of Steclton, introduced a resolution, which was adopted, tendering the support of the association to the ollici.il organ in the libel suit brought against it by the Ilarrisbnrg Rolling Milt Company.

Tlie Governor says: "This is an act to pay Felix C. Negley $830 for services rendered tho couimonw ealth in the years ltd and 1S65. It is a very old State claim and if nny basis for it ever existed it should have been submitted to and settled by the auditing and fiscal officers long ago. I am not w illing to give my npprovnl to the bill without' having submitted to mo ample and convincing evidence first, that the claim is actually due, and secondly, thnt proper effort has been made to have It set tled In accordance witli the general system established for adjusting accounts between the commonwealth and persons claiming against it." .

Koad Will Do for This City. OPENING FOR THE B. & 0. TO THE NOKTII Pittsbnrg ig to have another through line to Buffalo, shorter than either the Lake Erie or Allegheny Vnlley roads.' Yesterday the Pittsburg and Western road commenced to run a through coach to Erie by way of But ler and the P. S, & L. E road to Glrard, whero connection's are mado with the Nickel Plato to Buffalo. The ccaeh leaves hero at S:K0 in tho morning and arrives at 1'utfalo at 5:45 in the afternoon, making the distance in re markably duick time. General Passenger Agent Bassett said yes- terday that by next fall the P. S. & L. E. road would bo put in first-class shape, and the time could be shortened at least ono hour. It ia then tho intention to run solid trains from the Pittsbnrg and Western de pot in Allegheny over tho now routo to Buf falo. The.Baltlmore'and Ohio road is mak ing arrangements to use this line, and hnvo a through route from Cincinnati to Buffalo that can't bo Beaten. Another Outlet to the orth. It is almost a straight line between the two cities. The trains wilt bo run over tho Junction road to tho Pittsburg and Western. In this manner Pittsburg will scenro nnother outlet to tho north, and its importance as a railroad center will bo Increased. Mr. Bassott is thinking of running excur sions about once or twice a week over tho new line to Conncaut lake during the sum mer. The P. S. .t L E. people aro anxious to have such tickets put on sale, but Mr. Bnwett hasn't made up his mind whether the scheme will pay or not. Conncaut is a beautirul- place, and with good passenger arrangements ought to become a desirable icsort during tho hot period. They Cannot Connt I'ittsbarg Ont. Little lias been heard for some time of the trunk line project between Xew York and. Chicago which will ignore this city. Gen-' eral Manager Baldwin, of tho Buffalo, ltoch cster and Pittsburg road, who has not had much use for this city since he quit the Ft. Wayne, stated about a year ago that such a through lino would bo built, but the geo graphical position of Pittsburg would not allow the main line to come anywhere near it. Nevertheless in spite of all tho threats and wasted pity the Smoky City continues to grow ns a railroad town. By connecting the Pittsburg and Wc-tcrn and Nickel Plate roads, the Pittsburg, Shcnango nnd I.nko Erie ho-s created another line to the North, which will soon be in tlrst-claa running order- Tho Baltimore nnd Ohio hud its eyes open to all these possibilities when tho Pittsbnrg and AVestem and Valloy roads were purchased. When the Baltimore and Ohio commences to run its through trains by way ot Pit tsburg to Chicago, which will probably bo by next fall, some decent trains to the Windy City which do not leave here at unearthly hours of the night maybe ex pected. Railroad managers are beginning to learn that it doesn't pay to build roads in this territory that do not pass through Pitts burg. German Orphan Asylum Anniversary.
