WHAT M6PLE STOP TO TALK ABOUT
Charles O. Scull, General Passenger
Agent of the Baltimore and Ohio road, ar
rived in the city yesterday. He came here
to makeliis appointments in the passenger
department or the Pittsburg and "Western,
which was merged into the Baltimore and
Ohio March 15. In a circular issued last
week C. "W. Bassett, General Passenger
Agent of the P. & "W., was overlooked,
at least his name was not mentioned, and
apparently he was unprovided with a place
afterthe merger. Mr. Scull recommended
him to be the assistant general passenger
agent of the line, and yesterday a circular
was issued, signed "by President Oliver and
Mr. Scull, announcing the appointment,
requesting all ticket agents on the road to
report to Mr. Bassett and make requisitions
for supplies to him. This leaves the Fitts
burg and "Western mauned by its old offi
cers, and none of them is more popular
with the patrons of the line than Mr. Bas
sett. Xext in order is the improvement of the
read. Mr. Scull gave it as his opinion that
through trains to Chicago will not be run
by way of Pittsburg before next fall.
.Double-Tracklnc the F. & W.
Something mut be done to provide for
the enormous freight traffic and to keep the
tracks clear tor the fast trains. It has been
decided to "double-track the line as well as
rcballast it and put in new ties. The Balti
more and Ohio now has themonev, and they
will spend about ?Z 000,000 on the Pittsburg
and "Westernn betterments. It is expected
that the bulk of the work will be done by
next tail. The minor details concerning the
operation of the road have not been con
sidered. At present Mr. Patton's title is
General Superintendent, but his au
thority ends in Allegheny. The
chances' are that his jurisdiction
will be extended to Cumberland, and that
Pittsburg will be the middle of a divi
sion ninning from Cumberland to Akron or
Chicago Junction. A small passenger sta
tion will be built at Thirty-third street for
the western passengers, and the through
trains will run over the junction road with
out coming down town.
"The Baltimore and Ohio has spent a
great deal of money recently in improve
ments," remarked Mr. Scull. "Last year
iO new engines were added to the rolling
stock. A number of them were the large
tvpe of passenger locomotives, with drivers
6 leet 6 inches in diameter. .None are used
iu this section, as the schedules are not so
fat as between New York nd "Washing
ton. Last rear 59 miles of third track were
built
Three Tracks to the Coke Reclon.
"It is the intention to build 12 miles of
third tract-th'is'suinuier between Pittsburg
and Connellsville. About 30 miles will be
put down on the Baltimore division. The
third track for sidings is a good idea, as
freight trains caarun on and off them from
the main tracks without stopping.
"I expect the travel to the "World's Fair
next year will be heavy. I don't look for a
greatdeal from Europe. I don't believe
more than 50,003 people will come from the
Old "World to. the fair, and with
8 lines from New York to Chicago, the busi
ness will be small hen it is divided among
them. The European travel will be a mere
bagatelle compared to our own. The West
ern passengers will come East, and the East
ern people will co to the far West before they
return home. 1 think the lake lines will do
a big businevs. A trip over the lakes is
very fascinating, and a number of people
take it year alter year. Nothing has been
done about rates but I think an excursion
ticket, good for C months, at a two-third
rate will be established. Lower rates 'will
be made where the time is shorter."
A PAEIS INVENTION.
Sir. Carre Recommends Hydranllo Pressure
to r.un Railroads.
A. Barre, the inventor of the Barre slid
ing railroad, and "P. Horvath are stopping
at the Duquesnc. The road was so great a
novelty at the Paris Exposition that it was
decided to build a line a mile long at the
"World's Fair. Mr. Horvath said there was
such a crowd around the road in
Paris that -they had to hire policemen to
keep the people back. Mr. Barre is in the
city to contract for the construction of fhe
road. The rails will be made by Carnegie,
rhipps & Co. The work will cost about
J300.000. The sliding road is operated by
hydraulic pressure. A film ot water is
forced between the car and the rails. In
this way the friction is reduced to a mini
mum. Mr. Barre claims that the speed at
tained will be 125 miles per hour, but the
motion is so asy that the passengers "do not
know how fast they are coin?.
The aim of Mr. Barre is to see his idea
applied to street and steam railroads. Any
body, by performing a few simple tests, can
soon determine the great force of hydraulic
pressure. Mr. Horvath savs that" by apply
ing the invention, it would no longer be
necessary to build tunnels. Bailroads
could run up and down mountains, and the
trains could be hauled with the same speed
as on a level surface.
W0BK OK THE "WALLS YABB,
Training Wreck Crews to Handle Them
selves Quickly "When Called.
The Pennsylvania Boad is pushing the
work on the "Walls yards very rapidly. The
company is also introducing the latest ideas
that will facilitate the handling of traffic.
The officials claim the yards, when
completed, will be the largest
in the world. Two round-houses,
one for the Panhandle, the other
for the Pennsylvania road, are being built
Each will have a capacity of 40 engines,
and will be finished about April 15. The
first locomotive was run into the Panhandle
engine house yesterday. The company es
timates that 1,500 men will be needed to
keep the yards going. Mr. Lee, who con
ducts the restaurant at the "Union station,
will open a lunch room to feed the men.
As considerable time is lost getting wreck
trains to the 6cene of accidents, the crews
are beintr trained to handle themselves
quickly when called. An electric gong is
put into each man's house, which is not far
Irom the roundhouse, and when a wreck oc
curs he is notified from the central office. A
fire is kept in one of the loco
motives all' the tame, and everything
is in readiness to connect itwith the cars.
The men have been practicing some quick
modes of dressing, and it is expected that
within five minutes after a call is made
the train will b6 on the road to the wreck.
The men take great pride In their work and
enjoy it .,-y
Parties to Ise Bernhardt
Parties .from country towns to see i Bern
hardi were in order yesterday. The An-
derson had three, from Saltshnrg, "Wheel
ing and Kittanning. From Saltsburg came

and Grace McllTain. The Kittanning peo

M. Colwell, Mrs. Harry. Reynolds, Miss

B. & O. Theatrical BailnMS.
This week the Baltimore and Ohio road
will have the "Barred Oat" Company, 13
people, to Cincinnati and "XJ and I" Com
pany to New York. The Beilly & "Woods
show, 23 players, willcome in orer the
road from Washington. En ronte are the
French Folly Companv from Cleveland to
Philadelphia and the" Burglar people, to
McKeesport. Altogether the Baltimore
and Ohio road will handle 92 theatrical peo
ple this week.
"Will Insure Their Own Property.
The Pennsylvania Company has decided
to adopt the policy of self property insur
ance in use by the Pennsylvania road. In
stead of paying premiums to Insurance com
panies they will put them into a fund to
cover losses from fire. Inspector 'will be
appointed to watch buildings and take pre
cautions against fire.
THE CONTESTS DROPPED.
Guffey Delegates "Will Be Admitted to the
State Convention A Harmonious Ar
rangement Effected New Torlc Demo
crats Weary ot the Cleveland-Bill
Mntldle.
It was stated last night on reliable author
ity that there would not be any contests in
the Second and Seventh Legislative dis
tricts of the Twenty-third Congressional
district Since the conventions last Tues
day, in which J. M. Guffey's followers
were successful in two of the
three districts, it has been reported
that the result would be contested and
would be carried to the State Department
John Jiles, of the Secretary of State's office
at Harrisburg, announced before the result
was known that a contest would be made.
Ex-Postmaster Larkin stated that there was
no possibility of John Huckenstein's State
delegates being seated in the State Conven
tion and Huckenstein himself announced
that if his delegates were thrown out of the
State Convention he would carry the matter
to the National Convention for adjustment
The announcementlast night, it is alleged,
will dispose of all this trouble and the anti
Guffey people have advised Messrs. Os-
borne" and Kunkle. who were arranging the'
contest,to let the matterdrop. This advice it
is announced will be taken, and the Guffey
delegations from Allegheny county will be
seated without dispute.
This harmonious arrangement of the polit
ical dispute among the Democrats was
being liberally discussed among the party
leaders last night and all seemed satisfied
with the condition affairs had assumed.
J. M. Guffev returned yesterday morning
from a hurried trip to New York. He sayg
the Democratic politicians of the East are
delighted with the turn token in Congress
on the silver question and all are now con
fident of electing a Democratic President
"The platform of the party will now be
revenue reform "without side issues," Mr.
Guffey said, "and the people are with us on
that issue. The people of New York are
much divided on the question ot Presiden
tal candidates. The fight between the
Cleveland and Hill factions is decidedly bit
ter and agreat many of the more conservative
leaders those who look upon the party as
being more important than any man in it
are firm in the belief that it would be bad
policy to nominate either Cleveland or
Hill. However, all this will be thoroughly
canvassed by the Chicago convention and I
can assure you that whoever is nominated I
will do as much as any other Democrat in
this or any other State to elect him."

ATTORNEYS t BETTING TO -KILL THIS
Tuesday evening the License Court lottery
will make Its regular annual drawing, and
the list of prizes drawn in Pittsburg will be
announced that night The whole of the
Pittsburg list will be completed to-morrow,
and the Court will rest on Tuesday and take
final action on all the -applications-heard.
There will be a large number of prizes given
out this year, and with very few exceptions
all the people who now hold license or who
have bought out licensed houses will bV
granted again. There is only the slightest
chance that all the list will not be ready be
fore "Wednesday morning, when Allegheny
will be taken up.
The hearings yesterday were very monot
onous and have been so for several days.
The only thing that breaks it is an occa
sional tiff between B. C Christy and the at
torneys. Another face that is becoming a
familiar feature in License Court is that of
A. G Kobertson, Esq., the free bridge advo
cate, of the Southside, who is figuring al
most as conspicuously as Mr. Christy, but
on the other side. He has been catching
almost one-third of the cases.
Attorneys Make Bets to Kill Time.
So far the Court has heard over 100 cases
every day and the record of former license
courts was never over 60 a day. It went so
slow yesterday, however, that the ople
who were forced to listen to it put in the
time by making bets on the chances of
various applicants.
In the case of John Burg, 2606 Carson, his
attorney asked the applicant: "Are you a
man ofgood moral character?" This novel
way of pntting the question caused a smile
alfoverthe courtroom. But this was no
worse ihan a question put to an ' applicant
in the afternoon, when he was asked if there
had been any police disturbances in his
place during the past year. The fact is,
the attorneys aska great many unnecessary
questions, and this is why so many appli
cants set along Dener oy memseives man
with counsel.
"When Charles Harsh, of 213 Carson
street, was called, the attorney asked him
what kind of a house he would run in case
he was granted a license.
Judge Collier That question is unneces
sary. If he gets a license, the law plainly
specifies what kind of a house he is to run!
Mr. Christy remonstrated against Mary
M. Hirsh, 2528 Carson street, because she
had been refused once and the house twice.
There was a remonstrance against Phillip
Kelly, 2626'Carson street, on the ground
that he had been keeping a speak-easy, but
the applicant denied this.
Daniel-Bitter is now operating at 2130
Carson street under a transferred license.
The house has been licensed for 12 rears.
"When Bernard Bemark was called, Mr.
Christy said:
"When were you arrested for disorderly
conduct?"
Christy Got the Wont of It.
Mr. Bemark I never was arrested, and
I'd like to find the man who said I was.
Judge Collier That will do Mr. Bemark.
You deny the accusation. That is all we
want.
Mr. Christy failed in an attempt to prove
that a club was operated in connection with
Anton Ardman's place, at 154 South
Eighteenth street. He also claimed that
the Manhattan Club had a part of the house
applied for by "Johanna Buckner, 153 South
Eighteenth street, opposite Ardman.
George Fassold, a conductor on the Bir
mingham Traction road, wants a license for
2021 Carson street A Southside congrega
tion worships in the upper part of the
building, but the pastor recommended the
applicant
Jacob Klarner, 1501 Pins street, was the
first applicant heard in the afternoon that
was detained very long. He had been re
fused four times in succession. Several
witnesses testified to his character. He
said he had run a pool room for two years'
but got out of the business because he
thought it kept him from getting a license.
He now runs a candy store.
The Bearded Prophet Draws Blood.
Ex-Alderman Jphn Lohrman, of the Thir
tieth ward, is applying for 045 and 647
Brownsville avenue. He admitted that he
had been indicted three times for selling
without license. In one case the bill was
ignored, but in the other two he pleaded
-guilty, and sentence was suspended upon
payment of costs.
Mr. Christy flashed a remonstrance against
Lorehz Manz and Frank Fisher, of 107 Pius
street, charging that the applicants were
not fit persons to keep a saloon; that the
house had been refused in 1891, and that
Manz had run a speak-easy ever since. Mr.
Manz denied this. He said he had a license
in 1890, but did not apply last year because
he was sick. Several witnesses, including
ex-Constable Schuetzinger, appeared in his
behalf." Mr" Christy also drew out an
admission from Mr. Manz thai he had
had a license two years before he was a nat
uralized citizen, notwithstanding the pro
vision of the law requiring an applicant to
swear he was a United States citizen when
securing license before the Brooks law went
into effect
Alderman B. A. Hariman and Police
Captain Stewart appeared in behalf of "Val
entine Ffeuffer, a new applicant at 126 Pius
street
An Eye for a liquor License.
Conrad Tragresser lost an eye working in
a mill and he wants to establish a saloon at
2207 Salisbury street. Several witnesses,
including Captain Stewart, testified that he
is a proper person to be entrusted with a
license. There are no saloons in his vicinity.
He was the last applicant from the Twenty
seventh ward.
Ex-Chief of Police Brokaw, Police Magis
trate Succop and Southside Market Clerk
McDonald constituted the array of wit
nesses who appeared in behalf of August
Bodenhagen, of 14G1 Carson street, who has
had a license every year but one under the
Brooks law. Judge Collier said there was
a remonstrance, but it was signed by a
fictitious name, and the Court could take no
notice of it
Mr. Christy had a remonstrance charging
Blasius Czyzewski, of 80 South Fifteenth
street, with keeping a poolroom and per
mitting playing on Sunday, but the appli
cant denied this.
"Wenael Daub set forth in his application
for a license at outh Fifteenth and Bin:;-
nam streets mat ms House nas eight rooms.
Mr. Christy brought out the fact that it
had only four and that Mr. Daub had been
refused three years in another ward. Mr.
Daub explained that he intended to re
model the house so as to have eight rooms
and the reason he .was refused before was
because,. the' house he applied for was too
close to one of-the Southside inclines.
Tf ltnesus Went Dead Against Him.
B. G' Christy created a little stir when
John Herchenroether, of 53 South Twelfth
'street, was called. It was the first case
in which he had witnesses subpoenaed
by the Court' to - testify against ap
plicants. It m was. charged" that the appli
cant, who now .'has a wholesale license, tur
nished .liquors to a social club. ' John G
Schaefer and Jacob A. Pinchera were his
witnesses, but they-both went back on him.

IN A "MTirOF FIRE.
Nine WorkmeiiFearfully Burned at
, Carnegie's Homestead Mill
FOUR.OP THBH FATALLY Iff JUEED.
A Shover of Over Six Tons of Metal Falls
' Prom the Converter.
PBESBNCE-OF MIND SATES A LIFE
The converting mill at the Homestead
steel works, of Carnegie, Phlpps & Co., was
the scene yesterday morning of another of
those terrible 'accidents which visit the
plant at 'irregular intervals. Over a dozen
men were working in the pit when a skull
fell from the shield in front of the con
verter,' spilling 13,800 pounds of the molten
metal, which, when it struck the water
below, flew in every direction, burning
nine employes in a frightful manner, four
ofthem'fatally. The names of the "victims
and their injuries are:
ALBERT WILLIAMS, foreman; S3, married,
two children"; fa tally burned about tho face
and body.
ANDBEW 8TOFFIELD, married, one child;
fatally burned about face and shoulders.
ABTHUA McGUIBK, 23, single; fatally
burned all over the body.
PETER WOODS, 35 years old, married.
two children; fatally burned over entire
body,
JOHN GW1NX, severely burned.
FRANK ABLE10 years old; painfully burned
about legs.
JAMES BAIRD, married; one child; 23 years
old: back and side burned.
JOHN SIHELDS.aged 34,, married, two chtl-
di en; buined about head and shoulders.
THOS. HAKDY, married, two children; face
Band shoulders burned.
Canse of the Accident.
The falling of the skull or debris from the
shield on the pressure pipe that feeds the
hydraulic ram, used in manipulating the
converter broke off 'the pipe and caused the
converting vessel to dip and precipitate its
contents to . the pit below.. The seething
mass came in 'contact with the dampened
earth forming the bottom of the pit, and the
explosion followed,scattering the stuff in
all directions, searing and scarring many of
the mill men.
One stalwart fellow-was eating his lunch
at the time, and seeing the r vessel tilt, he
rolled over and overhand escaped without a
spark falling upon him. "When he returned
to the scene he found that his dinner bucket
was firmly embedded in a shell of .steel and
filled with metal.
The converter in use at the Homestead
works consists ot a vessel in shape resem
bling a bottle with the neck somewhat
shortened and slightly bent over sideways;
this is made of boiler plate and lined in
side with a peculiar sandstone called by the
men "gumster." The base of the bottle is
removable, being kept in position by bolts
and nuts; this being removed, a core is
fitted concentrically within the shell, and
the moistened "gumster" rammed lightly
in.
Description of tbe Converter.
The bottom is double, constituting an air
chamber or "blast box," the top portion of
which is a perforated cast iron plate, into
which are fitted tuyeres, consisting of
slightly conical elongated bricks or plugs,
perforated longitudinally with holes of
slight diameter and fixed in at the thicker
end. The blast is communicated to the
blast box by a curved tube reaching thereto
from the hollow trunnion box, inside which
one of the trunnions of the converter lies;
the other trunnion has a cogged wheel or
pinion attached, by means of which the ves
sel can be rotated on a toothed rack gearing
into the pinion and "being worked directly
by hydraulic pressure.
'Among the "men burned vesterday morn
ing were those who have been seared and
scarred on several occasions, and Al "Will
iams, the foreman, had on one occasion the
shirt burned off his back. He is the brother
of Ed "Williams, who was burned to death
last September.
About ten years ago, before the Carnegies
had control of the Homestead plant, Joshua
Davis was killed by a skull falling from the
same place. Since that time men nave been
employed to keep tbe shield free from these
accumulations, but of late the firm has taken
these men off.
A dispatch from Homestead late last night,
said: Andrew Stoffield died at 9 o'clock
this evening. Arthur McGuirk will not
live until morning. The recovery of the
other men seriously injured is considered
very doubtful.
The Famons Excursion Resort of Idlewlld.
The popularity of this famous excursion
resort has been unprecedented inthe history
of a resort so young. It is a veritable
mountain park, Jocated seven miles from
Latrobe, 41 from Pittsburg, and three
miles from Ligonier. From Latrobe old
Kingston forge is passed, where more than
one disastrous Indian skirmish was averted.
Historical associations are numerous in this
mountain run. Beyond the fighting ground,
framed by a beautiful border of rhododen
drons and mountain laurel, is the mountain
park of Idlewild, a place where man has
ignratively harnessed with modern im
provements and convenience nature's hills,
vales, and Jakes into a limitless park. The
beautiful Loyalhanna is spanned by bridges,
and connects the park with the wild, pic
turesque, and as yet uncultivated portion
beyond, where the lover of the romantic
"may find scenes to delight him. Extensive
improvements in the way of new buildings
for the accommodation of excursionists have
been made in anticipation of the season soon
to open. As a place lor recreation and
pleasure it has no equal.
Committees desiring to make arrange
ments to visit Idlewild can obtain complete
information upon application to T. E. Watt,
