THE JITTSBTIRG DISPATCH, SATUTtDAlr, JULY 65, . 189L Jtfaric Burress and Mr. Joseph Haworth, at least entered with competent ability and true artistic feeling. Their work was ex cellent. Miss Coghlan's Rosalind was not long ago described at length in these columns. It is, n most piquant and graceful creation; a very iarmonious rendering of one of the eweetest types of womanhood. Whether in maidenly gtiise or doublet and hose, she was very pleasant to look upon. Miss Burress as Cdia sot only looked exceedingly fair but her acting showed ability of the highest order. "With such a face, a voice, a carriage, and brains to back them, Miss Burress has a verybright future. Really a Labor or Love Mr. ITaworth's Orlando was essentially a labor of love. The lines of the character Fuit Mr. Haworth's genius to a nicety. His elocution was the best of the night, perhaps, and the wonderful play of ex jreion, the appropriateness of gesture, and what may be termed the strong sincer ity of all its work, made it a masterlr per formance in all respects. Mr. "William DeHamr's .Tnyptcs, and Mr. William Qlaworch's Oiicr were very wonhv. and the Towkstonr of Mr. .Tame3 fcooper had much merit. The veiy bad actinpr oY some of the others mrde the day drag painfully in lilacs. The chorus who tn.-d to sing the "hunting i nc did not make the proper con nections with the orchestra, or rice versa, and the result was rather mournful. But al loeetber the play was a very great success, and the novelty of the scenery was not the only score on which Manager Tcnks is to he congratulated. The lighting of the stas;e was managed very cleverly, and the figures of the actors stood out as boli.lv as if the "omplex arrangement of border and footlights were in operation Tijvinn regular sta? T'ac cable cars passing along Shad vlti:e disturbed the performance a gooi deaf, and urciy the incessant clang in,. "the gongs might have been dispensed trith for one night, or toned down for the occasion. The Audience an Excellent One. "The audience included a great number of 'prominent people in all the professions and industries, and. as it occupied the retire t-catin capacity of the amphi hea;er, must have" numbered not less than 1,000. It was, as has been said, a cheerful Catherine, and moreover highly appreciative, a 'their frequent applause te.;iiieu. About two-thiras were ladies, xaust of wlii.n were prepared for rain, arid thciefore plainly dressed. A isv handsome evening costumes were con spicuous. It was, on the whole, a free-and-easy as well as a fresh-air festival, and a soccess beyond a doubt. "As You Like It" will be repeated, weather permitting, This afternoon.

Wednesday's cyclone, near Bridgeville, lias not had the newspaper prominence it deserves. It looks as though it would puz ile a scientific meteorologist to explain its freak. There must have been great rarefac tion of the atmosphere thereabouts. Its course on terra firma was but 700 by 140 feet. After lifting out some telegraph poles, and carrying a freight car bodily lfiO ieet and killing some chickens it struck a hill with ueaily force enough to cut through it. Powerful oak trees were literally pulled out of root like so many weeds, and had the Mind n rung the nec and taken xhe feathers, pin-feathers, down and all off "the poultry ready tor dissection the freak -would not have been more astonishing. Attorney George P. Murray says he never read of any storm that acted just like this one. It is suggestie of terrible damage were ruch a swirl to ravage the city and its nearness makes the mere mention of it un pleasantly suggestive. ORDAINED THE ELDEBS. o)in A.

A "Weather Prophet Give TJp Prophecy as a Thankless Task. Fred H. Kennedy, of the Pittsburg and lake Erie Itailway Company, says the human ground hog of Charticrs "Valley has gone into his hole and pulled the hole in after him. As the last Friday in June was dry, the prophet gavj out that this month would be unusually dry, and farmers seem lo have pinned Vtheir faith to his prophecy, ns they have allowed hundreds of tons of hay to be damaged all the way from 25 to 75 per cent by letting rain fall on it. It seems this prophet had much honor i& liis wn country, but his laurels are with ered, and he will go out of the prophet business. A Runaway on Carson Street. Shortly after 10 o'clock last evening a horse driven by a man named Hall took fright at an electric car on Carson street, near Fifth, and ran away. Several attempts were made to stop it without success. Near TT-hmeenth street Officer Martin tried to 1-cnJ it off. It rhied and tried to enter Sillier Bros. stable, but ran into the door iramc.

Families Lease Land in the Mountains and Will Spend Their Summer in a Common Home. .TWOnORSESAXB A COW TO BE PROVIDED Some Interesting Local Harpeninsrs Gleaned From the Two Citits. "When Mr. Burrell Lynch left Hagers-ton-n, Md., on Thursday night he brought with him S230, a confiding heart and im plicit faith in humanity. He arrived at the Baltimore and Ohio depot yesterday morn ing at 9 o'clock, still possessed of the dol lars, the heart and the faith, and only anxious for an opportunity of relieving him self of a portion of these superfluities. He got it, and at C o'clock yesterday even ing appeared at Central station without the dollars, heart broken, and his faith shaken, and told Acting Inspector Sol Coulsoc that he had been buukoed. Or rather it was Sol Coulson who gave that name to the chapter of incidents in which Mr. Burrell Lynch figured conspicuously. Mr. Lynch acquired the meaning of a phrase that was thought to have been relegated for ever. Burrell Lynch is a colored gentleman of some 40 years residence on this globe who first appeared upon it at Rich mond, To. Having done that, history is mu:e as to what Mr. Lynch did next; but of late years he is to be found toiling for a living in the employment of Contractor James McGawin. lie Met a Strange Gentleman at Hagerstown. Mr. Lynch was apparently a most industrious and saving worker for he succeeded in accumulatinggreenbacksto the amount before named. Tiring of Maryland he decided to journey North, and when he alighted at the Baltimoie and Ohio depot it was with the intention of going on to McDonald to work in "W. P. Bend's mines. And it was from this point that ms sorrows commencea. v netner it was that his evident newness to the locality struck a sympathizing chord in the heart of the stranger, or he felt lost in this great big city, and, snowing it, set another chord a-twanging in the strange bosom, does not appear, but when Mr. Lynch was ac costed by a friendly voice at his ear, he was glad to pass the time of daj with the stranger with the chords and remark that it was hot. The stranger was an elderly man, with a good address, a glib toncue and of respectable appearance. all of which served to impress Mr. Lynch with the thorough desirability of cultivat ing his new found friend. The colored traveler related a little of his history to his acquaintance, and it was really remarkable how much of Mr. Lynch's history the stranger could relate to his colored iriend after a few moments conversation. Mr. Lynch remarked that he was going to Mc Donald, and was delighted to near that the respectable old gentleman, who was honor ing him with his friendship, who was a well-to-do merchant at Mansfield, quite adjacent. Be Had a Freight Bill to Pay. They would travel down on the same train. Mr. Lynch was charmed, and the merchant oi Mansfield was pleased, and so the minutes sped on in audiblj converse until rudely broken in upon by a stranger. This was a younger man with a dapper air and a brusque manner, and witnout any preliminaries he said: "Mr. "Williams, when are you going down to Mansfield?" "Why, I'm goinc down on the next train," replied Mr. "Williams. "Well, you can't," rejoined the 'young man, who appeared to be in a terrible nurry, "unless you come right away and settle for that car load of goods. You must settle the freight bill here, or they on't send on the car to Mansfield." "Mr. "Williams" was apparently taken aback. He looked at the young man, then at Mr. Lynch, dived into one pocket and tnen sougnt tor something in anotner, finally winding up the performance by ex tracting S10 from his coat, "Very provoking," he said( "that I am jnt out of money. That bill is about ?250, and I have nothing like the amount nearer than Mansfield" Then a brilliant idea filtered from under the respectable gentle man's hat as he glanced at Mr. Lynch's sympathetic face. He hated, did the Mans field" man, at least he said so, to put himself under obligations to a stranger, but if Mr. Lynch could loan him S2o0 until they readied Mansfield he would feel so much obliged. And the old gentleman, as he concluded his request looked quite dis tressed. It was now that Mr. Lynch's con fiding heart, and faith in humanity stood him in need; the opportunity for relieving a fellow man in his distress had arrived and it was his. Got the Money and Disappeared Mr. Lynch produced his roll with alacrity and, uttering many regrets that it was WO snort ot the amount his friend needed, turned it over to the old man. The younger man- then thought they should lose no time in settling the bill and Mr. "Williams and his friend started off, de siring Lynch to remain as they would re turn m a few minutes. Having the confid ing side of his composition still upward, Mr. Lynch waited, and then waited again for his friends to return, and might havi been waiting yet if a passenger had not asked him what he was waiting for. It only took a minute to show Lynch the kind of people Mr. "Williams and fiis pal were, and he was advised to report to the police. Lynch found his way to the Central sta tion about 6 o'clock. Acting Inspector Coulson was standing at the door, and pos sibly his burly form somewhat intimidated the man from Hagerstown, for he took a couple of turns past the station before he could pluck up courage to enter. "Why didn t vou come in at once, man," said Mr. Coulson, "your case won't im prove by waiting. I saw you pass the office twice and thought you had a story,"" and when Mr. Lynch had unfolded his tale it excited more merriment around Central station than has been heard for some time. However, a good description of the men has been obtained. Mr. Lynch is momenta rily expecting their arrest. Tronble for a Young JInd Slinger. P. Paff, a boy living at No. 54 Marion street, was arrested by Constable Sherry, of Alderman Bichards' office, yesterday on a warrant to answer a charge of malicious mischief, preferred by John Elliott, who alleges that the lroy broke a number of windows in his house and disfigured the front of the house by throwing a lot of mud at it. He was held under 5300 bail for a hearing to-day. The Press Clnb Meeting. An adjourned meeting of the Pittsburg Press Club will be held this afternoon at 3:30 o'clock to consider the report of the Committee on By Laws. The attendance of every member is requested. On His "Way to St Ionls. Anthony Kelly passed through the city yesterday on his way from Baltimore to St Louis, where he goes to superintend the erection of a new glass plant. Mr. Kelly is an old Pittsburger. SUMMER HOME IN COMMON. The Novel "Scheme of a Number of Fami lies Five Acres Leased In the Mount ains and Cottages. to Be Erected Econ omy and Health Aimed At A club of-families to spend the summer is certainly a novel idea. It is not patterned after Bellamyism, though socialistic in its tendency. In a downtown business office yesterday a number of the heads of families met and formulated apian which they think will be healthful and economical. One of the men present was at the Union depot last evening, and consented to give the de tails on condition that the names be with held for the present. He said: "Five acres of land have been leased for a term of 20 years with various conditions about buying, selling and erecting build ings, xne property is part ot a good tnrm located in the mountains about three hours ride by rail from Pittsburg and a mile and a half from the station near a thriving country village. The idea is to build five cottages, four of which will be occupied by the danghters and sons, the fifth bv the parcnts..:In the center a kitchen, dining room, billiard room and servants' quarters will be erected. This building will also connect with the cottages. One of the porches will be so constructed that it can be used as a tenpin alley, another as a sewing, readjng or lountrjnsr room. The kitchen and dining room will be used in common. Arrangements have been made between the bnvers and seller that a vegetable garden will be provided, also the use of one cow during the season, and that he will care for the place during the winter months. The scheme is to get all the comfort possible, with no frills or feathers. A pair of quiet horses will be provided with a light passenger wagon that the ladies can, at pleasure, make mountain drives. "Care has been taken in selecting a site that physicians, telegraph and the postoffice be within easy reach in case of emergency. All in all the projectors conclude they have struck a great plan, and by the 1st of June, 1802, expect to occupy their summer mountain home." A NEW POLICE BADGE. Chief Murphy Chooses a Pretty Design for the Allegheny Officers. Chief Murphy, of the Department of Pub lic Safety of Allegheny, has decided on a new police badge for that city, which will be both neat and novel. The new badge will be of silver; the outside edge will be in the shape of a belt and buckle. The inner part of the badge will contain a fac simile of the first log cabin erected in Allegheny, which is the city seal, and un derneath this will contain the officer's num ber in large open letters. The new badge will be quite an improvement on the one worn at present. CHANGED THE CHAEGE. James Carr Fined 825 and Costs by Alder man Hyndman for Disorderly Conduct. James Carr, who was arrested Thursday night at the stables of the Bellefield Biding School, where he lives and keeps a number of boarder), was given a hearing yesterday morning by Magistrate Hyndman on the charge of disorderly conduct. He was fined 525 and costa. The charge first mad; against Carr was keeping a dis orderly hous, but at the hearing it was changed to disorderly conduct. Arrested on Very Serious Charges. Theodore Trittler, of the Twenty-sixth ward, was arrested and gave bail in the sum of $2,000 on a serious charge, preferred be fore Alderman Hartman by Mary Dunner, who states that Trittler represented to her that he was a single man and was earning ?18 a week. He also said he was connected with several building and loan associations, one of which he was secretary. Trittler is a married man and has several children. A Grand r.odge Meeting. The officers of the State Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows met yesterday at the Seventh Avenne Hotel. Business of importance pertaining to the order wai transacted. Since the members have been here they have installed a number of new officers around the city. Among those present were "W. E. Marsh, Corrv; James B: Nichol son, B. H. Graham and F. T. Tan Arsdalen, Philadelphia. "Wounded by an Air Gnu. Charles Hager and John Burger, two 10-year-old boys, were playing with an air gun in Burger's cigar store on Butler, near Thirty-sixth street, last evening. The weapon was accidentally discharged and the missile struck the "Burger boy in the forehead, inflicting a slight flesh wound. The injury was dressed and the boy was soon out playing with his companions. Street Cars to Wilkinsburg. "Wilkinsburgers will, in all probability, have the long-looked for electric cars run ning into their town within three weeks. The trouble which the Duquesne Traction Company had over the right of way on a street in" the East End, and which caused the delay of the completion of the Wilkins burg branch, has at last been settled. It Might Have Been Serious. An alarm of fire was turned in from box 123 at 10:45 last night. It was caused by an overflow of slag at the Clinton furnace. A large amount of the molten mass run out into Carson street and it was feared that the buildings near by would be set on fire. The department did not go into service. "Will Tako a Leap for Life. This afternoon there will be a free balloon ascension at Highland Park. Mile. Decca will make her ascension 5,000 feet in the air, and then drop to the ground by the aid of a parachute. This feat is one of the most daring ever attempted. Most of the leaps are made at 1,000 feet. Broke the Record Yesterday. Coroner McDowell said that yesterday was the first day since tie became Coroner that not a case requiring his services had been reported. This month there has been 79 cases thus far.

President Weihe Returns to Find Many Contests Awaiting Him. SHAEPSBURG CONSIDERED FIRST. A Big Demand for EighfHour Marble Cutters in New York." MISCELLANEOUS INDUSTRIAL ITEMS President "Weihe put in an .appearance at Amalgamated headquarters early yesterday morning after spending a week in the "West. "Work has accumulated on him during his absence until his position at present, count ing the difficulties at various points await ing adjustment, is rather a perplexing one. He spent part of the day conferring with John P. Sheehan, President of the Second division of the First district, in regard to the trouble at Moorhead Bros. & Co., and the indications are that this is the first dis pute that will receive the official considera tion of the President. The chief object of the conference was for the purpose of put ting President "Weihe in possession of all the facts in the case and the present condi tion of affairs at Sharpsburg. The arrange ments that are reported to be in progress at the mill under the direction of the firm indicate that an effort is to be made early next week to operate the plant with non-union men, but an effort will be made to have the matter adjusted so as to avoid this. Mr. "Weihe will be independent, however, still holding that the association considers the scale signed at Sharpsburg, and that Mr. Moor head cannot now consistently refuse to recognize it. May Be More Trouble at Duquesne. The trouble at Duquesne will not re quire President "Weihe's attention, as Tice President Carney stated yesterday that the fight there is over. All the men have been advised to secure their former positions at once, but here another fight is likely to fol low, as there are many men among the strikers whom the firm will not take back under any consideration. This fact is known to the men, and probably explains why they have made such a desperate fight, and tried to hold others in line with them. Last night there were still some 20 deputy sheriffs on guard, but they will likcly be withdrawn to-day, as everything is quiet, no further trouble anticipated, and the only scramble being to get back to work. The big mill is running full, and enough men are now at work to allow regular changes of shift. The three men for whom warrants are out for assault Blotzer, Breen and Dar min have not yet been arrested, and in view of present developments it is thought they may fix the matter up, as the firm is said to be back of the charges. President "Weihe will spend two or three days at home trying to arrange Association matters, after which he will go to Steelton, where the real fight of the year is now on, although at no time in the history of the big organization has there been so many contests of such magnitude as now. General Opposition Anticipated. It has been intimated many times within the last six months that a break would occur, in which one after another would fall in line in opposition to the Amalgam ated scale, and it is more than half believed by many that the contests of 1891 are the beginning of this general movement. The latest report from Steelton is that the coloret men employed in the mill are arousel over a report that they were trying to form a lodge of the Amalgamated Asso ciation. Yesterday the following self-explanatory notice was issued by them: "A rumor having been circulated that thj colored employes of the steel company were about to organize themselves into an Amal gamated lodge, we take the occasion to say that we were not wanted at first, and that we will not now join under any circum stances. "A Committee of Colored Men"." Beset by Many Difficulties. Good order prevails among the strikers and strong pressure is being brought to bear to prevent men returning to work, but there has been no disorder. The Steel Company has called ujion Chief Burgess Heagy to preserve the peace, but he has no authority to appoint more policemen and cannot get the council of the oorough to meet. President "Weihe in his talk yesterday said in regard to the complaint of D.B.Oliver that the association discriminates in favor of the Carnegies, that the facilities of the latter firm, which far excel those of Mr. Oliver's, explain the discrimination. "While "West Mr. "Weihe investigated dis putes in seven different cities, and secured an amicable settlement in six out of the seven. At St. Louis the difficulty with Mr. Neidringhaus remains unsettled. It is reported that there are prospects of the plate mill of the Mill vale Iron "Works being put in operation at once. MEN WANTED IN THE EAST. A Demand for Marble Cutters on Eight Honr Work In New York. Last night Arthur B. Smyth, of Alle gheny, National President of the Marble Cutters' Association, received a telegram asking him to send a number of good mar ble cutters to New York City at once. The craft in New York work eight hours a day, and get larger wages than Pittsburg, but there are not enough good men there to meet the demand. The national association was organized a year ago, and will hold its second annual convention in Chicago in October next. It has grown rapidly, has succeeded in getting eight hours established in New York, Chi cago and St. Louis, and expects to have eight hours all over the country next year. PLENTY OF LABGE 0BDEBS. One Local Iron and Steel Firm Reports Heavy Summer Business. The Totten & Hogg Iron and Steel Foun dry Company are at present busy on roll mill machinery, having just received an order from "William Clark's Son & Co. for eight roll housings and two pinion housings, with bed. They have also just completed the ship ment of an 18-ineh muck train and large squeezer of improved pattern to Harris Bros., Minneapolis, Minn., and are now loading two cars of steel roughing and chill rolls ot different kinds for the Pacific Iron and Nail Company, San Francisco, CaL, ELECTED NEW OFFICERS.

The Baltimore and Ohio road intends to erect a fine new passenger and freight station at "West Newton to cost about $20,000. The plans have been prepared and the work will be commencea before the year is over. Eastern Labor Matters Quiet. John Beck, acting Secretary-Treasurer of the Mantel and Slate Polishers, is home from the East. He finds labor matters rather quiet out there. "Will Close at Noon. The Lake Erie freight depots will bet closed at noon to-day. Only live stock and perishable goods will be given out after that hour. The order will hold good until September 15. A -SEDUCTION IN "WAGES. Axle Manufacturers Ask Their Men to Ac cept a 10 Per Cent Cut. Some time ago an effort was made by the different axle manufacturers of the United States to effect an organization for the pur pose of establishing and controlling prices. ,A few weeks ago the combination broke up, owing to the refusal of a Pittsburg firm to join the (movement. Since that time the various firms have been cutting prices to such an extent that many manufacturers claim it is impossible to operate theirplants with profit. For this reason a reduction has1 been asked for in some places. At "Wheeling a cut of 10 per cent nas been made. So far the local firms have not asked their men to accept a reduction, but they are likely to. Manufacturers claim that the cut in wages will result in a speedy reorganization of the pool. THE ITEM PAYS THEM. A Settlement of the Controversy Over the Wages of Deputy Sheriffs. The big furore that was raised yesterday relative to the payment of the deputies who were on duty at Duquesne during the trouble at the mill there has been disposed of by a statement from both Sheriff Mc Cleary and an official of the company to the effect that the firm will pay their wages, as is always customary in such cases. Vice President Carney, of the Amalgam ated Association, stated' yesterday that his greatest objection was not so much that the nrm should have the deputies there, but that they should keep them employed in trying to get strikers to go to work, thus interfering with the business of the associa tion. M0EE TIME TO EAT. Birmingham Traction Employes Secure a New Schedule. The committee appointed at "Wednesday night's meeting of the Birmingham Trac tion employes succeeded in doing some good for the men at least. They have not shortened the hours any, but yesterday a schedule went into effect giving the men eight additional minutes for meals. This was one of their chief grievances. Heretofore they have only had about ten. minutes for meals, which was much too short. It is thought all their difficulties will be settled peacefully. A Famine In Brick. It is said there are 125 bricklayers in "Wheeling from Pittsburg and that work in the building line has been pushed so rapidly as to cause a famine in brick. SUPEKSTITION TVakeman tells of more odd beliefs still prevalent in Scotland in 1UE DISPATCH to-morrow. VALLEY CAMP OPENING. Kev. Charles Edward Locke Preaches a Strong Sermon on Prayer New Faces at That Religions Home The Programme for To-Morrows Services. Valley Camp in all its existence never looked prettier or more conducive to prayer than it did last evening. All of the cottages of the quiet little religious hamlet are filled, though, in few instances, with the same occupants that graced them last year. Each succeeding year brings new faces and new forms to the retired spot to commune with nature and forget the cares of daily life in religious observances. The powers that be of the camp are not expecting any great revival work this summer, but are look ing forward to a delightful, quiet and enjoyable month, far removed from the noise and hustle of the city. Bev. J. "W. Miles, D. D., Presiding Elder of the Pittsburg district, is in charge, and the pro gramme outlined includes sermons by many of the leading Methodist divines of the city. Next Sabbath three1 ministers will disseminate the words of the gospel, besides a general class meeting early in the morn ing. Bev. J. T. Satchel, D. D., Bev. "W. F. Oldham, D. D., and Bev. C. V. Wilson will discourse respectively at 10:30 A. m., 2:30 P. M. and 7:30 p. m. Last evening after appropriate introductory exercises Bev. Charles Edward Locke preached the initiatory sermon of the camp meeting, announcing as his text, "Sit Ye Here "While! Go and Pray Yonder." It was an earnest presentation of the great theme of prayer. In substance he said: "Some things are discovered to us by reason, while other things are revealed by the Scriptures. Some persons have sought to effect a perpetual estrangement between reason and revelation. These apply the mathematical process to all matters, and refuse to accept everything which cannot be demonstrated; but there are some things which arithmetical formula! cannot reach. Beason, unaided by revelation could never have given to the fiuman heart the exquisite employment of prayer to pray: He taught His diciples to pray. But it is objected to prayer that God does not interfere in the affairs of men or of the world. The argu ment is that in the beginning matter con tained the undeveloped resources of all life and force, and that by processes of evolution without any extraneous assistance all things have unfolded. Nineteenth century re search, however, has exploded this long defended premise. Spontaneous genera tion of life has been relegated to mythology. Life does not come by evolution." "By prayer," he continued, "God re veals His secrets to His creatures. All great reformers have been men and women of ceaseless devotion, and God has launched many of His great purposes through a band of humble but prayerful followers." Injnred at the Rolls. Albert Smith, while at work at the rolls in Brown's mill last night, was severely in jured by a red hot iron running through his foot as the iron came through the rolls. He was removed in the patrol wagon to the Homeopathic Hospital. TBAPPED BY THE LAW. J. B. Hammer was released from jail on $1,000 bail last night. Robert Wilson, of Fremont street, was charged before Mayor Wyman yesterday with cruelty to children. He was dis charged.

One Being Made for Street Railways With Steps in the Center. BOWS OF SEATS PLACED ON TOP. Kentucky Republicans Think They Hava a Chance of Winning. LOCAL ROADS HAVE PLENTY OF CARS C. L. Pullman, the head of the street railway department of the Pullman Com pany, was in Pittsburg yesterday making some preparation for the convention which will be held here this fall. Mr. Pullman said that a better town in the country could not have been selected for a meeting of street railroad people than Pittsburg. The various systems, cable and electric, down to the old-fashioned horse car, are represented in the city, and he remarked that the visi tors could take their choice and make what comparisons they pleased. All the latest improvements in the business can be seen here, and it is anticipated that those who attend .the convention would spend a profitable and enjoyable time. The Pullman Company will shortly turn ont a new style of car for street railways that they think will be a great improvement over the present one. Mr. Pullman made arrangements with President Holmes to run several of the cars on the Citizens' line dur ing the convention, and he expected to see "Vice President George Bice, of the Duquesne line, but he was out of the city. He said it was a mistake to have such high steps on street cars, and he knew the ladies complained about it, but he said the cars were 'made according to instructions and it was not their fault. Horse Cars Gone Forever. "The old horse car," he said, "is a thing of the past. The street railway business has made .wonderful strides in the last five years, but it is only in its infancy. The companies that expect to make the money must keep up with the times. Everybody will admit that the present street cars are a vast improvement over the old ones with the small windows and low roof, but the people require something better. We have designed a car which we think will meet all the requirements. The steps are in the center of the car instead of at the end. The car is divided into two sections with a little vestibule between. A passenger in boarding a car can take his choice, and go to either section he pleases. A winding stairway leads to the roof where more seats are provided, and during the summer a canopy of canvas will keep off the rays of the sun. The gripman will be located on the roof, and the space he now occupies in the cars will be given up to passengers. A railing will be placed all around the top, and it will be much like a tally-ho coach. This is only a rough draft, but will give some idea of what the car will belike. "The cars will be of the average length, and the advantages of the new plan are ap- Earent, They will utilize more space and old twice as many people. The weight will be more evenly divided, and will fall on the center. The cars can be emptied very quickly, and less time will be lost. In the cars now, with the door at the end, the people must get out in one way. If there is a crowd on board, the chances are every body in the car will be disturbed. If tSe person is sitting near the gripman, he must tramp the length ot the aisle, trodding on the toes of other people, and putting them in a bad humor. All this will be avoided. There will be no platforms for a big crowd tofilL An Ideal Street Bailway Coach. "Each section," he continued, "will be provided with steps at the vestibule leading to the street. Under the present arrange ment much valuable space is lost, and the weight is not evenly distributed. The crowd always lingers near the door or on the rear platform. The section cut off for thegripman can't be utilized. By putting a place on the roof for him. the space he now occupies can be used bjr passengers. In case it rains canvas curtains can be drawn to protect the sides on the top. The ar rangement of the roofs will be such that the sections aown stairs win De more airy man the average car is at present." Mr. Pullman showed the design to a num ber of street railway managers yesterday, and they were much pleased with it. Some of the cars on the new plan are now being built and will be exhibited in the city dur ing the convention. They will run on the Citizens' line and probably on the Du quesne. The cars will cost more and will be a little heavier than the average one, but modern ideas are demanded and always rel ished by the people. It has been claimed recently that in the present condition of electricity the cable road is the cheapest. Mr. Pullman said that during the day he had been told that the electric system cost 22 cents per car per mile, while the cable averaged from 14 to 16 cents. He claimed to know nothing about either, and is not sure that is correct. It is only a question ot time, however, until electricity will be the cheapest motive power beyond all cavil. HADE THE DEMOCBATS WOBK. Some Republicans ThinK They Can Elect a Governor in Kentucky. Dan Hemingray, a Covington glass manufacturer, is at the Monongahela House. His stalwart Bejtablicanism has earned for him the sobriquet, "The Mayor of Ken tucky." He takes a great deal of interest in politics, and on this subject said: "Some of the Bepubli'cans in Kentucky hope to elect their Governor this fall, but I am not so sanguine. The new Constitution will furnish considerable campaign ma terial. The Bepublicans made a big hit by indorsing it at their convention, but since then the Democratic Executive Committee has taken similar action. Ken tucky at present is a hopelessly Democratic State, bat we are working away, slowly re ducing the majority. The industrial de velopment is bringing in newjeople of Be pubnean persuasion, and in time we hope to change the tide. The Farmers' Alliance is strong in Kentucky, and will cut into the Democratic ranks. Carlisle could get the delegation for President if he wants it, but he realizes that Kentucky is too far south. Cleveland has lost some popularity on account of his anti-free silver utterances. A full State ticket will be elected this fall, and the people are taking a great deal of interest in the contest" A QUESTION OF CABS. The B. & O. and Lako Erie Not Bothered by a Shortajre In Pittsburg. "It is a question of cars these days. The business is good," said General Freight Agent C. S. Wright, of the B. & O. road, yesterday. "We haven't had a shortage around Pittsburg, but they are scarce on the Chicago end of the road and in the Southwest The grain trade is a litlle slack at present, but the coke shipments are keeping up." At tne Lake Erie office they said they haven't had a complaint about a car scarcity for several weeks. In the last year the equipment of the road has been greatly increased. The Lake Shore ordered 1,000 cars and the Lake Erie 500. Of these 350 have been received by the Lake Erie and 700 by the former road. As fast as built they are put into the service." Freight Men Confer. General Freight Agent Sam P. Shane, of the Erie, Division Freight Agent C. W. Clarke, at Gallon, and H. B. Dunham, of Columbus, eeneral freight scent of the .Cleveland, Akron and Columbus load, were in the city yesterday. They held a confer ence with "several local traffic men about matters which they claimed were of no im portance to shippers. DOWN TO A SCIENCE. Lieutenant Werlich Compliments Local Makers of Armor Plate. Lieutenant Werlich, who has been in specting steel here for the Government weht East last evening to spend his vacation of a month. He says the Pittsburg manu facturers have the making of armor plate reduced to a science. He thinks it is the greatest iron center in the country, which is admitted by everybody. The Government contracts, he said further, would not be delayed by labor trikes. The armor plates are being made by Singer, Nimick & Co., Carnegie, Phipps & Co., and the Linden Steel Company. These firms have signed the scale and the work will be continued without delay. He would like to see the old standing of the American navy restored. NOT MINDING THE BOYCOTT. Alton Road Officials Say the Edict Issued Does Not HnrtThem. The boycott against the Chicago and Alton road goes merrily on with the line making money and doing better than ever. Passenger ageuts here say it is only a ques tion of time until the edict against the line for paying commissions will be once more withdrawn. The Alton officials have issued a circular in which they claim that out of 66 roads supposed to be against them only two are actually boycotting them. These are the Michigan Central and Big Four roads. To Renters "With Power.
