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,

Fred H. Kennedy, of the Pittsburg and

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

"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.

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

most daring ever attempted. Most of the
leaps are made at 1,000 feet.

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.

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.

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.

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.

MW STYLE OF CARS.
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.
