OFFICERS SUGGEST A EEDED REFORM
Congressman John Dalzell came home
from Washington yesterday morning and
spent the day with political friends in
rittsburg. He will return to "Washington
to-day.
In a talk with a Dispatch reporter Mr.
Dalzell denied the statement made in an
evening paper that he was for Blaine for
President as first choice. "I am for Blaine
for President because the sentiment of my
people is for Blaine. Xo matter what my
preferences may be for President, I aai one
of Pennsylvania's Representatives in Con
gress and am therefore bound by the will of
the people I represent. Mr. Harrison I
think has made the best President our
country has had since Lincoln's time"
"How is your fight for United States
Senate?"
"Well, I am a candidate for that high
office. I have seen many of the party lead
ers from every section of the State and I
feel very much encouraged at the outlook."
"Will .Tack Robinson be a candidate for
Senator?"
"He says he will be. That's all I know
about it."
In answer to another question, Mr. Dal
zell said: "I do not care to discuss the
other candidates for the place. Mr. Quay
has a perfect right to be a candidate for
Senator and I have the same right. I have
r.o disposition to inaugnrate a personal
campaign, I prefer the next Senator should
be named on his merits."
"What will Congress do this session?"
"Congress will doubtless pass many mean
jmd mercenary measures and to carry ont
their peculiar reform ideas they will leave
for the next Congress many appropriation.
mea-ures that should be passed at the -present
session. They will then go to the coun
trv on their false economic platform. There
will be no ceneral revenue bill, but the
McKinley bill will be attacked in detail
aud measures covering lots of specific
articles will be passed in the House to be
killed in the Senate. A free silver bill
will no doubt be passed in both branches of
Congress, as there are enough free silver
Republicans in the Senate to help the
Democrats through, but no free silver bill
will be passed by the President, and he has
the last turn at such things."
"Is there any uncertainty as to who will
be appointed Internal Revenue Collector?"
"Oh. yes, there is lots of uncertainty. I
am still sticking to Mr. Case, but I have no
idea who will be appointed. The appoint

The Secretary or the Treasury is absent
from Washington at Fortress Monroe. If
he returns onMondsy the appointment will
no doubt be made promptly on his return."
PENN COTTON MILL GOING SOuTH.
Sylacauga Stockholders Bny the Old Land
marie in Allegheny.
The stockholders or the Marble CifyLand
Company met vestcrday at the Boyer
Hotel and completed the deal for the pur
chase of the Penn Cotton Mill, in Alle
gheny. The old landmark will be removed
vt once to Sylacauga, Ala., where the com
pany will enlarge it into one of the finest
cotton plants in the South. The time was
nhen the Southern planters thought that
the only people who could make cotton
cloth nere the Xew Englanders, and the
raw matprial was shipped there and the
fabrics sent back to the South. Recently
thy have discovered that it would
pay to have the mills erected where
the cotton grows., and thus avoid
the double freight. The removal
of the Penn Cotton Mill from Allegheny
takes another industry from that city, but
it is an inevitable result ot trade laws. W.
A. Acheson, President of the company,
says thev intend to engage in the manufac
ture of cotton goods in Sylacauga. It is a
r.cw town, but it already" has enough ster
ling industries to warraut its future growth.
A number of local prominent-people are in
terested in this Southern venture.
The annual meeting of the company will
bo held in Sylacauga January 2L The
stockholders have decided to be present. A
party of about 10J men will leave Pitts
burg for the place January 19 over the B. &
O. and Queen & Crescent roads. They will
be accompanied bv Division Passenger
Asent E. D. Smith, of the B. & O., and C.
H. Baird, Traveling Passenger Agent for
tne Queen & Crescent.
HtJKTED BY FOOTPADS.
Special Agent Hampton Honcliton Fol
lowed by a Tramp in "Wilklnsbursr.
Special Agent Hampton Houghton, 'of
the Pennsylvania road, thinks there is an
organized gang of footpads at work between
the East End and Braddock. The other
night he was followed in Wilkinsburg bv a
negro, and as the fellow's actions grew more
suspicious tbe detective pulled his gun
and faced the rascal, when he ran like a
fleet-footed Indian.
A colored barber remarked yesterday
that he had had a queer experience the
night before, on Wylie avenue near Vine
street. He had a S20 bill changed in a sa
loon, and at the time he noticed a
rough-looking customer watching him. He
thought nothing about it, but started
down Wylie avenue. Ahead of him he dis
covered the fellow who had been watching
him peering out of a doorwav. Suddenly
the man disappeared, and as ttie barber con
tinued on his journcv he became suspicious
and decided to take the middle of the street.
He want surprised when he saw the foot
pad standing behind a tree box with a club
in his hand, but he made no effort to rob his
victim wnen he found he couldn't pounce
iipr-n him unexpectedly Terilv these petty
highwaymen are great'eowards!
HIS MEM0EY SAVED HIH.
Encineer Whitesides Tells How Ho
Es-
ciped Death at I!urcelts:own.
"It is wonderful how a man will remem
ber little things in time of danger and how
a flash of memory often saves a man's life,"
said T. E. Whitesides the other day to a
DlsrATCH reporter. Mr. Whitesides is an
engineer on the Panhandle and was in
charge on the day of the fatal wreck in the
cut near Burgettbtown some time ago. He
gives the following graphic description of
t!jc wreck and how he and his fireman were
i-aved from death.
"We were going at the rate of 25 miles an
hour, snd just as we entered the cut I saw
the runaway cars coming toward us. To
shut off steam and whistle down brakes was
the work of a moment. I was off my seat
and on the step the next second. All this
time my tnind was at work. To jump
meant death, for the sides of the cut were
stcert and to jump against it would only re
sult in being thrown under the train. I re
membered a slight depression about the
center of the cut, which if we
reached before we struck the on coming
cars we might jump and be saved, it was
the last hesperate chance for to ride into
the wreck meant death sure. I was on the
engine step and my fireman on the tender.
We had not exchanged a word. We did
not have time for it was all over in a few
second. The depression was reached and
we both jumped together and lauded in the
hollow plowing up the ground with our
noses, the next instant the crash came, I got
up at.d walked about teu feet, but had to give
up. The jar was too much for me. I es
caped with badly snraincd ankles and
bruises while the fireman had an arm
broken." Said he in conclusion, "I have
been on the road for 11 years and that was
my first serious wreck. I had often noticed
that little hollow in passing and thought it
might come in handy some day."
A CHAJTCE FOE EEFOKM.
Folics Officers Surest a Remedy for Late
Morninsj Hearings.
One morning last week Judge Gripp
failed to show up at the Central station
hearing in the morning. He doesn't miss
often, but occasionally he does. The last
time he telephoned to the station about
N:15 A. M., and said he couldn't be there.
An eflbrt was made to get Magistrate Mc
Kcnna, but he was too busy. Finally
Jud;e Hyndnian was reached, and he ar
rived at the station about 9:15 in rather n
bad humor. In the meantime the officers
who had been up all night, and some of
them hadn't been in bed for two days, were
waiting patiently to have their cases dis
posed of so that thev could go home. The
men growled a good deal over the delay,
and said thev were willing to do a decent
day's work, bnt they didobject to hanging
around for several " hours in the morning
when they needed the sleep.
Some of the officers suggested that in
order to relieve the men as soon as possible
a stenographer should be provided who
could take the sworn testimony of the po
licemen in each case, and allow them to de
part. The evidence could then be placed
before the tardy mnsistrate, and anv addi
tional information could be furuisned by
the stenographer and the day men in charge
of the lockup. The hearings are held every
morning' about 8 o'clock, but an earlier hour
would be preferable to the men who have
tramped a beat all night.
FAEMEES BUYIHG MACHIKEBY.
A Railroad Contracts to Ship 50 Carloads of
Ajrricnltnrat Implements.
The farmers in the West are beginning to
show a few signs that they have faith in the
future and that business is reviving. Com
mercial Agent W. M. Clark, of the Mis
souri Pacific road, has just completed
'a contract with a manufacturer in
Springfield, O., to deliver 50 carloads of
agricultural implements at various points
in Texas. Arkansas, Missouri. Iowa, Ne
braska and Mississippi. Mr. Clark says it
will be necessary to run two trains to carry
them, and he will ship the implements Jan
uary 2G. It is one of the largest orders
ever handled by a railroad. Mr. Clark
thinks the shipment is due to
the enterprise of the maker, who sees plenty
of trade in the future, rather than the
prosperity of the grangers, who have not so
far converted the large crop into hard cash.
He say orders are coming in very slowly,
but the people are bound "to be happy yet,
yon bet"
The freight agents of the Missouri Pacific
road will hold a conference in St. Louis,
January 24, to discuss, the general situation.
It will be the second time such a meeting
ot agents has been held in the history of
the road.
Creek Indians Watching Legislation.
Chief Perryraan and six other chiefs of
the Creek Nation were in the city yesterday
afternoon en route to Washington. They
were an. intelligent set of men and could
talk English fairly well Of all thelndians
in the Territory the Creeks are away ahead
of their fellows in civilization. The old
chief said they spent about 510,000 a year to
watch Congressional legislation, and "it pays
them. So many treaties have been tam
pered with in the absence of redskin repre
sentatives at Washington that for some
years the Creeks have kept men at the
national capital to see that their rights
were maintained. There are so many hangers-on
who would like to get possession of
their valuable farming lands. The Creeks
have four Congressional delegates, but they
are usually assisted every winter by some
oi tne old cniets.

'3 ASSES IS MISSING'
And With Him Have Gone $800 of
the Switchmen Union's Money.
NEARLY FORFEITED THE CHARTED
Sweeney Arrives in Time to Save the Life
of a Gilt Edged Lodge.
GOSSIP OF THE INDUSTRIAL "WORLD
L Jansen, Financial Secretary of the Gilt
Edge Lodge, of the United Railroad Switch
men of America, is mysteriously missing.
In consequence of his absence the charter of
the Gilt Edge Lodge has been forfeited, and
Grand Master Workman Sweeney, of Chi
cago, is expected to arrive here on Monday
to redeem the lodge's charter, and to place
the lodge where it formerly belonged in the
Brotherhood.
The Gilt Edge Lodge is composed of
Pennsylvania Railroad switchmen. Jansen
is married, and has a wife and one child liv
ing on Penn avenue, near Forty-seventh
street. Three weeks ago he took about 5800
belonging to his lodge, and notified his wife
that he was going into the city to pay the
money into the grand treasury of the lodge.
The money was not turned over to the
Grand Lodge, and the Financial Secretary
has not been seen since. That amount of
money was due from the Gilt Edge to the
Grand Lodge, and in consequence
ol his failure to turn it over
the charter of the Gilt Edge
was declared forfeited. The officers
of the local lodge were notified that their
charter had been forfeited, and further in
vestigation developed the absence of Jansen.
Grand Master Workman Sweeuey was
notified at once. Yesterday he wrote officers
of the Gilt Edge Lodge that he would be in
Pittsburg early next week, probably on
Monday, to reinstate the lodge and aid in
investigating the accounts of the missing
Financial Secretary.
Jansen and Vie Money Aro Sllgslng.
Jansen's absence was not generally known
to the switchmen until yesterday. When
they learned that their money had gone
with the Financial Secretary thev were
highly indignant, and some of them insisted
that the police should be notified. The of
ficers of the lodge prevailed on the enraged
switchmen to remain silent on the subject,
promising that every switchmen's lodge in
America would be notified of the missing
man, and that he would be overtaken in the
regular way much quicker than by notify
ing the police.
Jansen is a young man of good presence.
He stood high in his lodge and enjoyed the
confidence of all who knew him. He hajl
no bad habits, and those who know him best
refuse to believe that he went off with the
money, but rather incline to believe that he
will turn up all right before long. Some of
his associates are "fearful that he met with
foul play and that his dead body was con
cealed to protect the criminals, "it is said
that many of his associates knew he in
tended makinc the payment to the Grand
Lodge on the day he disappeared.
The young man's wile has been almost
prostrated with grief. She has been im
patiently watching for his return evensince
he left home, and she refuses to hear any
thing of his having gene off with the money.
She says he will yet turn up all right, but
she has no information qf his whereabouts.
She Mas too much distressed yesterday to
talk of her husband, but she said he would
not leave her for any amount of money.
His Absencn .Discovered.
Jansen's absence was made public on Fri
day in a rather peculiar way. A member of
the Columbus, O., Lodge of Switchmen
came to" Pittsburg last week to secure
artificial limbs. He had been in a
railroad accident nearly a year ago
and had both his legs taken off below
the knees. On Friday he was wheeled on
an invalid chair to the lodgeroom of the
switchmen, but found it closed. He want
ed some services rendered him, and was
taken to the officers of the lodge." They
were unable to assist him officially, and no
tified him of their financial distress and of
the mysterious absence of their financial
secretary.
A member of the Gilt Edge Lodge said
yesterday: No one seems to know anything
about Jansen. His absence was not discov
ered until our charter was forfeited. That
occurred two weeks aro. Since then, and
through no fault of ours, .we have been
without lodge protection. Had any of us
been hurt we could not have secured the
weekly benefits allowed by our lodges, and
had any difficulty taken place between the
switchmen aud the railroad we would have
been known as scabs. Tne whole matter
will be settled early next week. The finan
cial less we sustained will be borne by the
Grand Lodge, and Tjewill start offnext week
as a new lodge aud a new financial secretary.
BOTES FE0M THE CONVENTION.
Fiesldent Miller, of tuo Barbers' Associa
tion, Gives Some New Points.
"President Miller,-of the National Barbers'
Protective Association, is a bnsy man. Yes
terday he was seen at his office, and of the
new organization said:
"We are organizing lodges just as fas as
we can. Next week two large lodges will
be organized at Columbus and Altoona. At
Altoona there may be two lodges formed,
as the journeymen and employers are priv
ileged to form separate associations. They
win Dotn ue nnuer tne jurisdiction or the
National Association.
"There are some other thinps about mir
constitution which have never been made i
public Among them is the question of
Sunday work. We are against it, but have
not power enough yet to abolish the prac
tice all over the United States. It can be
controlled in Pennsylvania, Ohio and
Maryland. In Pennsylvania we have to
fight with Representative Fow, of Phila
delphia, who is opposed to Sunday observ
ance, and is working against us.
"We adopted the working card system
and the other regulations governing "trade
unions. We guarantee our members em
ployment. There can be no strikes. If a
difficulty arises the matter is settled by
arbitration by a committee from the na
tional body. Its ruling is authority,
whether for or against Another good
thing about our organization, we do not
draw anv color lines, black and white are
admitted together."
Phillips & Cc's Employes Dissatisfied.
The glass workers of Phillips & Ca's
plant on Nineteenth street, Southside,
held a secret meeting-yesterday morning,
and a strike may be the result. .For some
time past the natural gas supply has been
insuthcient. The men complained they
could not make wages. The matter was
laid before the eompany and it agreed to
make good any loss the men sustained. It
is claimed though that it has not been doing
this and the men are dissatisfied.
He Did Not Bccosnizn the Boycott.
It is evident that the Knights of Labor are
in.the boycott against the Second Avenue
Street Railway, and also that it is beginning
to show its effectiveness. During the week
a salesman belonging to. the Knights rode
on the line after he had been notified not to.
He was tried in his assembly and fined quite
heavily. The strikers think that the trouble
may be settled this week, as the company
are growing tired of the bovcott. The cars
are not doing halt the business they did be
fore the strike. v
Trades Assembly Will Assist Him.
Eugene Schoreck went before the Trades
Assembly last night'ln behalf of the strik
ing printers of Germany. Jle stated the
condition of affjirs over there, and the as-
semblv appointed o committee to accom
pany him on his tour of the different labor
organizations. He does not ask the uuions
of Pittsburg to'give too freely, as he knows
that there are several strikes ' on hand in
the city now.
Two Glass Plants to Be Built.
The O'Leary Glass Company and the T-"
Campbell Glass Company are both going to
build large window glass factories at Blaine
station, two miles above McKeesport, on

The glassworks of George Wauhoff& Co.,

Peter Lost said he was afraid George M.
Huff would do him bodily injury, but Huff's
story, with some admissions on the other
side, convinced Judge Kennedy that there
was no danger to be apprehended, and he

John Kunkle said he was afraid of
Michael Keefe. Th'cy have been both
employed at the Clinton Iron Works. Kcefe
was charged with making threats aud with
flourishing an iron wedge menacingly at the
persecutor, on November 30. Michael has
been six weeks in jail and must give 5500

Mrs. Maude Teese, of Lawrenceville,
complajned that her husband, Richard,
would do next to nothing to support her and
the babies, though he lives with them and
trusts to luck and her exertions forsupport.
He defended on the ground that he could
not get employment, but she said the
trouble was that he was so unreliable on
account of his propensity to indulge in
drink that he could not keep a situation.
Given a Month to Get Sober.
On Mr. Goehring's suggestion Richard
was given two weeks' time, in which to
bring forth fruits mete for repentance and'

was instructed to report, and the Court will
try to devise a stimulus.
Lucretia Mayhew deposed that she was a
resident of Steubenville, O., and that her
husband, Frank Mayhew, had deserted her
14 months ago. She found him engaged as
an engineer at Shoensberg's mills and had
him arrested. Her attorney, Mr. Wallace,
raised the question of jurisdiction, but Mr.
Goehring demanded a show of authority,
holding it incumbent on the defense to pro
duce it. Mrs. Mayhew then came to her
husband's defense, bnt unintentionally, by
stating that ten years' experience with him
was enough and sire would not live with
him. Richard refused to make her an offer
of a home, but was finally given two weeks
to consider the matter. If he make the
offer and she refuse to entertain it she will
be salivated.
Minnie Rttsteson and Henry Rushton
were a distinguished looking couple who

Still Tonnj Enongh to Love
The case of Mrs. Parcells against her
husband, Thomas Parcells, would indicate
that the fires of love may burn brightly in
the hearts of septuagenarians and that"
Cupid shoots his arrows promiscuously.
Thomas' hair and beard are as white as the
driven snow. He stated in defense that be
fore marriage he told Mrs. Parcells that he
was too old to do much work, and, in
addition had been crushed several
times in coal mines, both in this
country and in England, but as love laughs
at all obstacles she replied that he had
earned the richt to live in ease the rest of
his days, and as he had some property and i
sue consmeraoie acuity m earn money
they would get along some waj In process
of time, however, the bloom wore oft and
Mrs. Parcells refused to perform her mar
riage vows, and made it generally so uncom
fortable for him that he was finally forced
to go and live with his children by a pre
vious matrimonial venture. He had some
.property in the Twenty-seventh ward and
Mas. Parcells No. 2 had put some money
into it in the way of buildins a small house.
There was 5500 against it and it has been
sold on a mortgage, the old man being un
able to raise the interest. There will be
5500 left for distribution, and Mr.. Parcells
owns two lots worth 51,000. The case was
continued in order to give the attorneys a
chance to meditate. It seemed impossible
to rekindle the fire on the domestic altar, so
all left appears to be to effect a pecuniary
settlement.
The case of Barbara Parker versus Leon
Parker was continued for a week.
Attempted to Thrash Bis Brother.
John Schultz, who keeps a saloon on
Spring Garden avenue, has a younger brother
named Philip, whom, it is alleged, John
considers himself empowered to castigate
when he thinks necessary, though Philip is
19 years old and has been -in business for
himself. Between himself and his guardian,
a Mr. Nieman, Philip succeeded in paint
ing John a somber color, but the attorney
for the latter. Rush Lake, succeeded as only
a lawyer can, in softening the colors and
John was let off on his own recognizance in
payment of costs.
By this time the business swung around
tothe border of Coraopolis, Mary Schultz
said that she lived in Ivanhoe, and told a
heart-rending story of the alleged manner
in which Joseph Schultz had treated her
during 17 years of almost uninterrupted mar
ital missry. one saio. ne was a- oooEDinder,
and often told her he could make 510 a dav.
They have a son 15 years old. While
sailing along under a full spread
canvass, Joseph's lawyer, Thomas H. Davis
flashed in the eyes of Mrs. Schultz and
those of the Court, the record'in a divorce
proceeding instituted by her and in which
she-had been alloned a certain sum pen
dente lite and counsel fees. '
Eawyor Davis Scores a Point.
He then proceeded to state that for some
reason she had neglected to go on with the
case and intimated that his side .wished to
have it concluded. Mrs. Schultz scorned to
reply to Mr. Davis' allegations, intimating
that such gibberage as "pendente lite" was
beyond her comprehension. The Court,
however, fell to the situation at once and
continued the case until-t&e divorce court
conld have a shy at it.
George G. Foster, who had been charged
with desertion and non-supnort bv Jane
Foster, came smilingly to the center and
informed the Court that while Jane had Kept
him languishing in jail she was living in
Fennery's court with another man. whom
she called her hnsband; that he had tried to
live with her, but could not on account of
her actions, and that he had gotten the chil
dren away from her once and provided for
their support in an orphan home, but she
had gotten them back again. Judcc Ken

A Ttegular Milk and Honey Letter Shown.
The case of Mrs. Cassidy against A Cas
sidy was heard by Judge Porter, and it -nas
a loud one, though the parties are not of the
kind one would expect to meet in this court.
In the course of the examination a letter
was produced which had been written by
Mr. Cassidy at one time to his better halt'.
It was rather gushy a lejter such as most
of us have written at some time or other in
our lives. It caused -much merriraent-and

replied that she"didn't believe the protesta

sented a knife at his heart. After much of
this all parties decided to take a rest.
Familiarity with cases of marital discord
appears to breed contempt. Just after
hearing the Cassidy case Judge Porter had
.before him a man who wantedto be made a
citizen. The witness to the petitioner's
character said he had never known any
thing against him save that at one time he
had had trouble with his wife. The manner
in which the Jndge received the information
indicated that he didn't attach any particu
lar importance to domestic jars as bearing
on general character.
HE. DAVIS DID NOT DIE,
So Some Premature People of Chicago Have
to Settle an Expensive Suit.
Manager Charles L. Davis, of the Alvin
Theater, wits in a very comfortable frame of
mind yesterday. He has been wrestling
with law suits and financial accounts for a
week and has reached a satisfactory con
clusion in them all. Some weeks ago it
will be remembered that the Western Elec
tric Company, of Chicago, entered suit
against Mr. D.tvis for certain electric fittings
of the Alvin Theater. They got a writ of
replevin because, as they now say, they ex
pected Mr. Davis was about to die. "Mr.
Davis did not pass across the river to the
land where theaters are not promised, but
got well so quiokly that he has been able
during the last ten days to see the repre
sentatives of the Western Electric Company
and reach a settlement with them.
The account over which the suit was
brought has been paid. TheChicago people
also paid the lawyers' costs. This and other
sicns oi .Mr. Davis' ability to meet all his
liabilities will be welcomed in Pittsburg
and among theatrical people generally, for
that the builder of such a theater as the
Alvin deserves to get something better than
law suits and sickness as his harvest is the
general opinion.
A Gani or Yonthfal Thieves Canshr.
Special Officer Savage, .of the Pittsburg
Junction Railroad, arrested four boys in a
shanty boat at the foot of Forty-second
street Friday night who have been robbing
the cars on that road. They had just car
ried off several ingots of copper, weighing
200 pounds each, and in their shanty were
found two wagon loads of pig metal, brass,
lead pipe and other stolen stuff. The boys
are Charles and Michael Cavanaugh, James
Owens and Harry Gilford, all under 18 years
of age. Michael Cavanaugh was released
by proving his innocence, but the others are
in jail. The boys all claim they were work
ing for a gang of men who paid them for
stealing the stuff and the men floated down
the river in flatboats at night. Efforts are
being made now to capture the men.

The physicians of Wilkinsburg are or
ganizing for protection now. They say
they have lost so much money by bad debts
that they will take heroic steps to prevent
it in future. The Wilkinsburg Physicians'
Protective Association, composed of nearly
all the doctors of the borough, has deter
mined to refuse attendance to anyone get
ting on its books through not paying a pre
vious bill. It is expected that this will
make the practice of medicine in Wilkins
burg much more profitable than it has been
for the last few vears.

Bixth Street Too Far iway.

Dnqnesne Way Recommended as a First
Class Situation.
CHEAPER BESTS DEMANDED BI MANY
The commission merchants do not receive
with very much favor the proposition of
the 'Pennsylvania Railroad to move out to
Twenty-sixth street. They do not think
that it is in their power to move the business
center of the city, and they are not willing
to sacrifice a certain class of trade they have
downtown for the accommodation of the
railroad company. It is argued that the
Sonthside and Allegheny must be accom
modated, and that they would protest
against hauling such a long distance. The
proposal to bunch the commission
stores is heartily favored by all. They
think the railroad companies should make
the first move, and ofler as a suggestion that
the Liberty street station oradjoining prop
erty at the Point be secured. The situation
would be as central, as co'uld be found, and
would, it is argued, tend to draw business
toward the old part of the city. On ac
count of increasing rents, it is only a mat
ter of a few years until the commission
stores will have to leave Liberty street.
At least a part Qf the space between Sixth
and Seventh streets will soon be used to
erect a fine buildintr. Nezotiations have
been made to get a certain part of it for a
hotel site.
Mr. Johnston, of Aiken, Johnston & Co.,
whensnoken to yesterday, said: "The
commission men realize they must leave the
place they are in soon, but they object to
going to Twenty-sixth street. The Rail
road company has been trying for several
years to get us to go out there, but they
have never had even an indication of suc
cess. The commission men must stick to
gether or they can get no business. The ex
perience of firms that have left Liberty
street has been Bankruptcy. tRpnts are too
high here, however, and besides we have
.been warned that it will only be a few
years until we have to leave.
Mimy Merchants Will Il) Frozen Out.
"The property extending up Liberty
about 100 feet from Sixth street is owned by
the Smith estate. An effort has been mad e
to get money to pnt up an eight-story build
ins on the property, and whenever "it is de
termined to do so, of course, we will have
to leave. That would drive out J. K.
Henry, our firm, T. H. McGowan and G.
W. Van Gorder. We can only get a one
year lease at a time, and that is unsatis
factory. If the railroad company would
give us their Liberty street station or a
place at Grant street we would be glad to
take it, but Twenty-sixth street is too far
out of town to be considered."
John Wallace, another commission mer
chant, thought it would be a good idea -to
have shipping headquarters at Twenty-sixth
street and to maintain their downtown
stores
Mr. Wilbert, of C. W. & A. Wilbert,
thought it wouldbe a difficult matter toget
all the commission merchants to act to
gether. "Why, we couldn't even keep a
Produce Exchange together," he said. "The
'members took no interest in it, and what
might have been to a sreat deal of advan
tage to us was allowed to drop. If all the
commission men wonld move out together
I think it would be a good scheme. There
are about 35 commission merchants in the
two cities. The rent along here averages
from 52,000 to 53,000 a year. That is too
high for the business and will eventually
drive us to spme other quarter of the city."
One of the objections which Mr. Koenig,
of Koenig & Schmidt, had to moving out
to Twenty-sixth street was that it would
take the business away from banks, post
office and other business houses. He agreed
with the others that the commission men
must leave Liberty street, and the best
place he knew to go was Duquesne way
from Sixth street to the Exposition build
ings. Wants a Yard Where All Bonds Center.
W. J. McCrackcn, of H. J. McCracken &
Co., said that to -o ont to Twenty-sixth
street would not relieve-them of very much
hauling, because it would be so much
further from the B. & O. and other rail
roads. "If all the railroads would
go together and get one yard
we would be very willing to move to it, bat
it must be remembered that the Pennsyl
vania is not the only road cominc into the
city. It will be necessary for us to leave
Liberty street in a t'avr years, but it is not
likely we will go until forced away. It is
then probable that the business will go
toward the Point- That is a more central
place and offers reasonably low rent- The
Liberty street freight depot wonld offer a
good srte, but I suppose the railroad people
would not be willing to give it. They en
deavored to have a meeting with the com
mission men not long ago, but the scheme
fell through. I understand that the propo
sition they intended to make was to get us
to move to the Twenty-sixth street station."
