ITECIAI, TELEGRAMS TO THE DISrATCH.l
Frcktokt, Aug. 20. This little city took
a backward turn to-day, and once more en
joyed the good old times when the crack of
a driver's whip or the mellow tooting ot a
liorn for "lock ready" meant more than the
thrill scream of the rushing locomotives
across the river. "Jut the biggest thing
we ever had" was the unanimous verdict of
the 250 ol 1 canal boatmen who gathered
here to-day to attend the sixth annual re
union of the Boatman's Association of
"Western l'eunsylvania, which was held here
to-dav.
This hisioric organization was formed at
Nineveh, and has steadily increased iu
inemberslup since its inception, the attend
ance to-day being the largest in the history
of the association. Since the abandonment
of the canal the boatmen have been scat
tered to the four winds, and they consider
these annual reunions as the best means of
nflbrding an opportunity to rehearse old
fctories.
A vr.nv idealistic sci:xn.
A pleasant incident of the day was thear
sival ot the morning train, on which a great
crowd of Witmen and strangers had been ex
pected. Tiie J-eechburg Band, and an old
canal boat on w heeN tilled w itli pretty little
fclrla and draw n by the historic mulc,a waited
this train, on which over 100 boatmen, with
their wive- and daughters, arrived. They
"were prcetpd ith cheers and handshakings,
and the ladles of the party were at once
taken iu charge i a local Indict committee
end placed in he Central Hotel, where they
could viov. the iiroceMon. Aline was then
Jonned 1 the boatmen, w hich proceeded to
the center ol th" town, where an addres
jif welcome was leliered by Itev. T. X.
ilnrphv, of the Frcepoit Academy. He
fiid:
"Krceport Is deliphted that vou have "tied
tip" in our tow n to-ilaj . This town isw hat it
f hj s a tree port, and" extends to ou all the
freedom of the town." Ho then referred to
the omen times, which wero commonplace
in tlioi day, but w hich memorv now sur
jonnd w.tli a halo or slory. He" said, al-o,
that he was glad he could not welcome them
to ;iiloon andtlistilleiies, as there was
sot a drop in the town, though they might
ven now quench their thir-l with a back
ward remembrance of the old day.
The response was delivered liv Rev. Dr.
f .etty, of altburg. He spoke of tlio marvel
ous progics that had been made since ho
):im'-elf made bis llivt trip on the old canal
In KH. "First w as the old Com-stoga wagon,
then came the canal boat, and llnnllj the
Meain cars as a means of locomotion."
PLEASURE AXI) TIIKV 1IK.SIVESS.
Tlic entire delegation then turned to tho
Opera Houe, w hero a groat dinner had been
prepared lor them by the generous ladies or
the town. The first tables seated fnlyTOO
people, and when they had been cleared an
other table was set and the doors thrown
open to hundreds who had not vet been
nerved.
Allcr a talk and a cigar, the former fur
nished by the members themselves and tho
Jattcr by the citi7en" committee the mem
bers held a business meeting a 2:30 p. jr.
"William Clowes presided. Five death- wero
reported (taring the past jear. The Presi
dent then delivered a hoit reminiscent ad
dress after winch several old boatmen gavo
noma of the old song- w hich nseQ to cheer
thorn along the route. .Major Xesbitt, ot
Xlvcrmore, Si oars of age, sang 'When
Uoinmy M ent on theCanawl,"elicitIng great
opplati-e. Tho roll was then called, when n
fccoreofnew members entered their names.
The election ot tiDieor-, resulted as follows:
Dean Ginnon.nf John-tow ii,I'rfident;Major
Je-bitt, A ice President: J. tj. llutledgo, sec-retarj-;
IIv. lir. Getty. Tj-easutci.
On motion it was decided to restrict future
reunion- to boatmen and their wives alone.
The a oeiatiou then adjourned. It has not
yet been decided w here the next meeting
will be held, but it is thought Johnstown
w ill receive the vote. Many members, bow
c er.ire n favor of ha vingtho next meeting
in Pittsburg, and Mr. Leech, of that city, was
one of the most pronounced in urging" Pitts
burg's claims for the honor.
ONLY PASSENGEE TEAINS HUN.
ThoStrikonn the I.-iko Krio and Western
Becoming More Serious.
St. M.BY8,Aug. W. The strike on the Lake
Trie and Western llailroad continues, and
not a freight has been moved in this vicinity
tincc Monday night. Affairs are beginning
to look very serious, and grain merchants
tilong the line are suflering greatly, while in
tho smaller ton ns, with only one roadeon
"Jicction, business it- at a standstill. Lvery
availablo car nlong tho line, besides the
grain elevators, are filled w ith grain, and it
"will take weeks to clear the congestion here.
The men say the road has alieady lost OO,
dOlby the -trike, but the management have
not ono word to say.
A special telegram to Tun Dispvrcn from
Tindlay says: The strike, instead or grow
ing less, is extending, and unles some terms
are soon agreed upon the entire lino will be
blocked, pacngcr trains and all. This
-jioruin tno yardmen in this city quit work.
Joining tht vast majority w ho are demand
ing pay for extra hours. All day the agents
here, w ith tlie ofllee force, have been throw
ing switches and handling cars, which aio
transferred to other lines and rushed
through. The men fear n nun o is on foot to
lire men to take their places.
A dispatch Iroui Peoru. nv: The switch
men's strike here is unchanged. Passengor
trains with mail cars attached are going out
on time, but no freight is moving. Tho seri-ou-
trouble expected hint night has been
averted for a time. Tho Lake Erie and
Wc-tern avow edits intention of sending a
through freight train out at 11 o'clock, but
the scheme was abandoned as bloodshed
"was anticipated in such an event. Tho
Sheriff has a big posse of men iu tho yards,
and everything is quiet. Two coach loads
of switchmen lrom Dayton and other points
on the Big Four llailroad are expected to
take the strikers' places, and there is likely
to be trouble when they enter the yards.
The men here say the train will not got over
the bridge. No freight cars ha ebcen moved
for 48 hours.

l'ree and Claims to Ho Innocent.
Wnr-ELo, Aug. 20. A man giving his
name as Andrew Wilson is in the citv to
night looking for his parents, whom ho has
not seen for 30 years. Wilson's story Is a
peculiar one. He says that SO years ago he
was sent to piison from Pittsburg for a
crime he did not commit. He was dis
charged from the penitentiary only a few
months ago, and has since been looking for
his only living relatives, his father and
mother.
The last heard of them was in 'Washing

familo moved out at midnight, refusing to
wait until morning. Citizens say they
heard strange noises while setting up with
tile last one nno aieu there. JUr. ltay, tne

house, but they declined to stay after mid
night owing to the queer proceedings there.

THE A3IEIJICAN' WHEEL COMPAJT1' IN
A RECEIVER'S HANDS.
It Has Factories In 1 3 Cities and Seven States,
Worth $4,105,000 Its Debts Nearly
82,000,000 Monetary Stringency Causes
tho Company's Embarrassment.
Chicago, July 20. The American "Wheel
Company, said to be the world's largest
manufacturers of wheels and vehicles, is in
solvent. Noble C Butler has been ap
pointed receiver and has possession of the
different plants of the company. Tho total
assets nre given as $4,105,000, and liabilities
51,800,000. Stringency of the money mar
ket and inability to secure extension of obli
gations caused the collapse.
All shops and plants of the company, in
six different States, are temporarily closed,
and 2,500 employes are made idle. Those
most heaily interested and who caused the
appointment of a receiver assert that the
company will be able to liquidate all its in
debtedness and pay stockholders dollar for
dollar.
Application for a receiver was made very
quietly late Wednesday afternoon, and the
bill was suppressed until late this alternoon
in order that the receiver might secure full
possession and forestall attaching creditors.
iliis being done in order to give all inter
ested parties an equitable share in the pro
ceeds. The bill states the assets consist of manu
factuiing plants, machinery, products, etc,
divided as follows: Indiana, $1,500,000,
Ohio, 51,000,000; Michigan, 5440,000; Penn
sylvania, 5220,000; New York, 585,000; Mas
sachusetts, 50,000; Illinois, 510,000; other
assets, accounts and cash on hand, 5800,000.
The corporation was organized in Decem
ber, 1889, and business was at once begun
on a large scale, riants were established
at Indianapolis. Ft. Wayne, Tcrre Haute
and St. Marys, Ind.; Miamisburg, Sydney,
Gallon, Sandusky and Ottawa, O.; Jackson
and Kalamazoo, Mich.; "West Chester, Pa.,
and Syracuse and Shortsville, X. Y. The
plants at all these points are in operation,
except at West Chester. A large amount
of property is al-o owned in Huntington,
Mt. Vernon, Osgood, Titusville, Auburn
and Salem, Ind.; Lansing, Mich., and Van
Wert and Scott, O.
The company found itself under enormous
expenses when it had established all the
branches, and was compelled to incur large
indebtedness, pledging its credit by promis
sory notes, etc Business has been carried
on at a profit until the last six months, since
when it has been extrcmly dull. Its credit
became impaired, and it was unable to pay
large obligations. The receiver was asked
for in order that the plants might be kept
in operation and to prevent forced sales at
a saerifice to the detriment of many creditors
and the injury of tho employes.

SPECIAL TELEOBAM TO TltE DISPATCH.
TorEKA, Kan., Aug. 20. One hundred
delegates, representing the new organiza
tion which claims allegiance to the People's
party, met this morning in Trades Assem
bly Hall, and organized the Alliance Com
mercial Convention. The work which was
outlined will probably keep the convention
in session for two davs. The scheme is a
mammoth one, providing for tho amalgam
ation of every business organization which
has grown out of the farmers' uprising in
this State. '
Many of the Alliance men now recognize
that tliere have been altogether too many
business organizations passing under the
Alliance name. It is proposed to thor
oughly investigate all of them and decide
which are worthy of support. There are
Alliance exchanges of various kinds, in
surance companies and protective associa
tions operating separately. It is proposed
to have an Executive 'Board appointed,
through which these business agencies can
co-operate. To put it briefly, the obj'ect of
the convention is to kill middlemen. One
of the delegates stated that it was high time
the farmers in the interior of Kansas who
had cattle to sell were finding a way to dis
pose of them to another farmer in an adjoin
ing county without making the deal through
a Kansas City or some other commission
company.
The convention was called and seems to
be manipulated by the Mutual Protective
Association, an organization which has for
its object the fighting of foreclosures in the
courts. It is well known that the Execu
tive Committee of the Farmers' Alliance do
not look with favor on this organization,
and a few months ago had a meeting for the
purpose of entering into negotiations with
Eastern money-lenders, to pay off the in
dividual mortgage indebtedness of themem
bcrs of the Alliance, who conscientiously
desired to be relieve of debt. Frank Mc
Grath, who set this liall in motion, is in at
tendance at the convention.
When the first session of the Executive
Board was held, at which time the payment
of the mortgage indebtedness was discussed,
Mr. McGrath stated that the Alliance
would convince the capitalists that it was
not organized for the purpose of repudiat
ing honest debts, but to pay them.
