THE PnTSBURG DISPATCH SUITDAY, MAT 8. 1893. 1ST MOVEAT ONCE Pittsburg Getting Sadly Left on Space at the Colum bian Exposition. TIN PLATE MEN ASLEEP. They Are Matin? Xo Attempt to Se cure Boom for a Display. BIG MANUFACTURERS HOLD BACK, TTMle the Little Philadelphia Felloirs Get In Their Work. TtTSTrXGHOIJSE STILL OX THE OUTSIDE Pittsburg is getting the worst of it on space in the World's Fair. Unless the Iron City wakes up the little manufacturers of Philadelphia will have all the room allowed for Pennsylvania. Big manufacturers are resting on the idea thtt the fair does net open for a year, and are forgetting the fact that the space is all to be given out on July 1 of this year. Such great industries as those represented by Wcstinghouse, Harry Oliver, Jones & Laughlins, Chambers & Mc Kee, James Chambers, Henry W. Hartman, Dilworth Bros. & Ca, Cambria Iron Com pany and A. M. Byers have so far not made Env attempt to secure space. "William Quinn, an active secretary for the Pennsylvania World's Fair Commis sion, who has been visiting the manu facturers with a view of securing exhibits is authority for these statements. The most peculiar feature he has found is the tardiness of the tin plate manufacturers to make exhibits. So far not one from this State has even signified an intention to send an exhibit. i::lnl to Their Own Interests. Mr. Quinn sa!d: "When I asked Mr. Cronemyer about making an exhibit he only replied, 'What's the use?' Amer ican tin manufacturers are blind to their own interests. When Democratic Congressmen go to the World's Fair they will ask where all this tin is that needs so much protection. Absence of American tin at the Columbian Exposition will be the best campaign material the free traders can find, aud will do more to kill this industry than anything else. They could easily give such an exhibition as was made here at the -fc-xposition, ana then give tlie tin nway as souvenirs. If each firm wonld even send 100 boxes it might save them." "What are you giving that tip away for?" broke in Commissioner P. Foley, who was present. "If the Republicans don't know enough to take care of American tin we are not going to carry them around instructions on a silver plate. But I suppose, of course, the commission will be blamed if we do not have "all the industries represented. We have opened this office here in the Hamil ton building, and have employed Mr. Quinn to see the manufacturers personally and get them to make exhibits. We cannot pay them for doing it, and if they do not re spond at once it is not onr fault if they are shut oat." l'Xiltadrlpbla IlaVinc a Bis Pfay. The facts arc these. In Pennsylvania there nave been 492 applications from manu facturers for space, o far there have been no applications from farmers or for lumber or cereal exhibits. The nun ber from manu- iactnrcrs is twice as large as broin any State in the Union, vet out of the total of 492 Philadelphia has. r-0 of the sipplications. Even the smallct factories ther'i are repre sented. The people are alive nVl Councils hRs established a literary bureau for boom ing enthusiasm in the World's Ftir, while in Pitt'burg the Councilmanic Committee Appointed for that purpose has ntt even organized. "It looks much as if Pittslmn's electrical industries were roing to be shut out," said Mr. Quinn. "Edison has applied for one third the space allotted to electrical app.s nnccs, and promises to occupy every inch of it with his own inventions. Eneland. Prance and Germany have applied for half the space. The Tlinmt.on-Honston Company lias also asked for space, while we have not bad a word from Westinchouse. In a let ter last month .1.1. Barnctt, in charge of the electrical department, said the applica tions were far in excess of the amount of available space, and said he was going to begin the allotment at once. Tli -Aymthy of Tir. Concerns. "In other big concerns the same want of interest is displayed. H. W. Oliver told rue yesterday lie was going to apply for srace, but has not done so. Jones & Laugh lins said the same th'ng and so did Mcin tosh, Hemphill & Co. In fact, all the big men are holding back. They seem to for get that space is given out long before the Fair opens. Down in Beaver Falls a month ago, nine people uromised me fo apply for Kliaco at once. Hot one of them has an swered. The big glass men are the same, and outside of the big trusts no one but Macbeth has ap plied for space. We cannot cot space unless they put in applications. We can't go and sleep with them until they get ready. If they do not awake at once, Philadelphia will get the space, and Pitts burc, with all its great industries, will be crowded out Then foreieners who come to the show will go away believing Pittsburg's name as a manufacturing center is founded mostly on wind. If we were to tell one of these manufacturers where to sell an order for 10,000 or $15,000. we would not have to notify them a tccond time. This will amouut to far more, yet they do not real ize it. Councils Very slow to Act. "Even the city in general Is backward. Mayor Gourley messaged Councils and a committee was appointed. That committee has not yet met Iu Philadelphia Councils are doing business and the whole city is alive. Pittsburg must wake up or get left. "The National Tube Works, of McKees port, iias learned by bitter experience, and now has an application for 18.000 square feet. Two veeks before the opening of the Centennial this company was making its exhibit When it got there it was crowded off into one corner. The old Cres-cent Tube Works had its exhibit in earlv, and had an elegant lo cation. While it did not compare with that of the National Tube Works, it got the medal simply became it was well displayed. "Carnegie's application is ior 20,000 square feet, and in that sf ace he will have everything turned out in his immense mills. He will make a special display of armor plate and ores, together with a practical ex position of the process of steel making. "The Sterling Steel Company, which manufactures armor piercing projectiles at McKeesport, will tbow the condition of Heel in the various stages of its manufact ure, from the crude ore until the time it is j-rady to be made into billets. This will be ehonn by crucibles cut in two at the differ ent stages of the process. Making Coke at the Fair. "II. C. Frick is also to have an unusual display. He will present the entire coke industry fiom the time the coal is mined until it'is loaded on the trains. He will also have breakers there and will manu facture coke on the ground, so that every detail of the work will he shown. Probably the most unique exhibit will be by the H. J. Heinz Company. This firm j will display a map of the United States made entirely of pickles and preserves while the rivers will be made out of vinegar. Tnis will be covered by one immense pane of plate glass 24x18 feet. This sheet of glass is one-half larger than any ever at tempted before. The Ford Plate Glass Compauy was afraid to take the contraot as they said they would probably spoil an im mense amount of glass before a perfect plate will be made. For the sake of the advertisement the Fords have agreed to bear half the loss and the Heinx Company will bear the other half. This piece of glass will weigh over two tons. The complete list of manufacturers in this locality who have made application up to date is as follows: These Firms Will Have Exhibits.

'ew Rale Instituted by the PIttsburs and Duquesne Traction Companies Major Couriers Pertinent Suggestion Why Forbes Street Is to B Abandoned. An order which caused lots of grumbling and will be the cause of a great deal more was promulgated on the Pittsburg and Duquesne Traction lines yesterday. Every conductor on both roads was instrncted to collect a fare for every market basket or package carried upon the cars, provided they were set upon the floor or seats of the car. The management of these lines is the first in Pittsburg to make this step, though it has been done on nearly all the Allegheny lines for years. The complaints yesterday from patrons were numerous, and last night when the people from Oakland and the East End, on their way home from market, became indig nant at the new tariff. One old lady who lives at Sobocreated a scene on onecrowded car by refusing to pay and speaking her mind in forcible language to the conductor, who finally allowed her to go for one fare in order to escape her tongue. Mayor Gourley expressed the views of many who talked about the new basket order yesterday when he said: "It seems like an imposition on the patrons of any road to make them pay for a basket or par cel. Sometimes, of course, baskets are a nuisance on a street car, but it's only when they are crowded and the aisles are stand ing full of people. The right thing for the companies to do now is to put on cars enough so that people will not need to stand make it a rule that when all the teats in a car are occupied no more passen gers can be taken on. There is a chance for a blight member of Councils to win a repu tation and the thanks of grateful people. Let him present and secure the passage of an ordinance compelling street car com panies to adopt that rule. It will be a pop ular measure, one that will affect every man, woman and child in the city, and I would sign it with as much satisfaction as any bill I ever put my name to." "Hilly districts are not sought after by traction companies at the present time," said a Pittsburg, Allegheny and Manches ter official yesterday. "The Duquesne Traction Company," he continued, "is find ing this out. I think The Dispatch was on the right track when it printed the fact the Duquesne would practically abandon the Forbes street line. The Solio hill is a great barrier to the successful running of the road. "There is something in the story that the Widener-Elkins syndicate would like to get control of the Pittsburg, Allegheny and Manchester. I do not think any steps have lmn inlrnn in tills rlirpctinn pt T trmilil I suppose though these gentlemen could get iLeroao. u iney wouiu put up enougn price. linother thing that brought Messrs. Widtner and Elkins to Pittsburg this week was oiuuness pertaining to their Philadel phia liAes. The roads are now operated by the cablsystem, but it is not satisfactory. They want to adopt electricity, and are quietly in estigatiug and making arrange ments for uis system while here. TSACTIOkV MAGNATES GO HOME. Mr. Widener DeuWs That the Snydlcate Is After the 'Citlxens' Line. P. A. B. Widener And W. L. Elkins re turned to Philadelphia'jast evening. They had little to say abotH traction .matters, and it is only a questioA of time until the changes outlined a lew Mays ago in The Dispatch will be Made in the system. The magnates wonder how the details leaked out Mr. Widener denied most emphatically that the syndi cate is after the Citizens' and Central Trac tion lines. They have a playful habit, however, of denying everything until their deals are completed, when nothing can be made by concealment They spent yesterday in inspecting the DuquesneandFifthavenueroads. Mr. Wid ener complained about Philadelphia people. He wants to introduce the trolley syste m, but the Quakers are opposed to it He says many of the people in Philadelphia have never been out of the city, and they have a great deal to learn. Mr. Widener thinks the trolley system is a great success in Pittsburg. AN advertiser wrltesi "Please stop my adlet rooms rented."

Office, 720 Perm street, Pittsburg, Pa. ssu OHIO ELOPERS CAGED. Little Mrs. Eva Polliett Wanted a Handsomer Man and Had FOUND HER AFFINITY IN VAN. She Sara Her Small Husband Fooled Her Badly on His Age. GLAD TO RETTJRX TO HER DAUGHTER Mrs. Eva Polliett and Van Spangler, 'an eloping couple from Zanesville, 0., were arrested in this city by Detectives Kobinson and Fitzgerald last night as they were about to take a Baltimore and Ohio train for New Tort The elopers are both married and hitherto respectable people. Their arrest was secured through a telegram received from Chief of Police Sheppard, of Zanes ville, last evening. Mrs. Polliett is the wife of a well-known storekeeper in Zanesville, and Spangler has been a stone contractor there. She is a very small brunette, 29 years of age, weighs less than 100 pounds, and, while rather plain looking, has a bright, captivating manner, which was 'evidently more than Spangler could withstand. Spangler is a big, fine-looking fellow of 30, and seems to be deeply infatuated with the little woman. Their Honprmoon Cnt Short. They left Zanesville together last Thurs day, but their absence did not cause suspi cion until yesterday, when the Zanesville authorities were notified and traced them to Marietta, O., where they had started for Pittsburg on the steamer Iron Queen. At Steubenville, or some point near there, the couple left the Iron Queen, and took passage on another boat, arriving in this city yes terday morning. They put in the day see ing the city and were at the deoot with their luggage checked, readv for the train, as the teleeram from Zanesville came. When Detectives Kobinson and Fitzgerald went down to the station they had little difficulty in finding the couple by the description reoeived of their luggage, which consisted ot the lady's trunk and her lover's valise- When arrested Spangler put on a bold front, declaring his name was Charles Smith, that Mrs. Polliett was Mrs. Charles Smith, and that they were on their way to New York where he was employed as a stone cutter. The couple were first taken to City Hall where they were separated, and while Spangler was interviewed by the detectives m one room -Mrs. Polliett was given a Bear ing by Superintendent O'Mara in another. Mrs. Polliett Weakened at the Last. At first she sustained Spangler's story, but gradually, under the skillful question ing of the Superintendent, the correct story was drawn from her in sections until finally, realizing her position, she laughingly acknowledged her identity and told tne whole story. As an extenuation for her leaving her husband Mrs. Polliett said he had deceived her in his ase when they were married. "He told me he was only 21 when I con sented to marry him," she said, "but I afterward learned that he was 31, and I being only 19 became disgusted with him then and have never cared for him since. He is a little bit of a man, anyhow," she continued, "and I like a big man like Van there. I could live happily with Van forever, but I don't think I ever'can with Polliett The only thing I regretted after leaving home was that I had to leave my pretty little daughter. She is a lovely child, 6 years old, and loved me dearly. I gness it's just as well that I must go back to her, for I don't believe I could stay away from her very long. " tVanted to Bo Near Van. Mrs. Polliett did not seem much affected by her arrest, and, when informed that she must spend the night in Central station, asked if she could be near to Van while there. She showed more disappointment when informed that she must occupy an other part of the building than her lover than she did over her arrest The couple were neatly attired and had S371 iu cash with which they had intended to start a new life in the metropolis. Mrs. Polliett had 200 of the money and seemed able to take care of it When taken before Superintendent O'Mara Spangler was in dicnant, surly and declined to talk. He was ordered to Central station in the patrol wagon and as he was led from the hall Mrs. Polliett bade him an affectionate good by. She was afterward permitted to walk to the station with an officer. The Zanesville authorities were tele graphed of the arrest last night and a mes sage was received from them asking how much money was found on the elopers when caught A Zanesville officer is expected here to-day to take the pair home. FIXED TO SUIT THE MAY0B. City Attorney Moreland Amends the Poor Farm Ordinance to I'lease Him. Mayor Gourley yesterday had two confer ences with City Attorney Moreland relative to the new Poor Farm ordinance exclusively printed in THE DlSPATCn yesterday. At the first conference the Mayor stated his ob jections to two features of the ordinance. One was that which required that only Councils should approve the purchase, and leaving the Mayer out of it, and the other was the wording of the section which re quired an adequate water supply on the ground. At the second conference the City Attor ney presented the ordinance chanced to suit the Mayor's views. The approval clause now includes the Mayor's signature, and the water supply section provides that any farm offered must be situated so that ade quate water and drainage facilities are ac cessible. As amended the ordinance pleases the Mayor in every way, and he thinks there will be no trouble under it in getting a suitable farm for $100 to $200 an acre. As there is no river front provision a farm situ ated a mile from a river but accessible to the river and near to a railroad could be offered. PLATING FOB A FBIZE. The Excelsior Itand, of Homestead, Is Awarded, the Victory. The mnch-talked-of musical contest be tween the Excelsior and Golden Eagle Bands, of Homestead, took place in the Opera House there last night in the pres ence of a large and enthusiastic audience. The contest was for a wager of $100 a side, and was awarded to the Excelsior Band by the adjudicator, John G. S. Beck, of Beck's Military Band and Orchestra, of Philadel phia. The piece played in the contest by both bands was Donizetti's "Marino Feliero." The Edgar Thomson Band, from Brad dock, under the direction of its youthful director, played several selections before and after the contest took place. Iron Business Abnormally Dnlt. J. H. Flagler, one of the directors of the National Tube Works, left on the limited last evening for Chicago. He says the iron business at present is abnormally dull. Such a bad condition of affairs hasn't ex isted for years and years. .Everybody is complaining, but Mr. Flagler has great faith in the future. The business has been overdone, jurt as men will sometimes over eat, because they like a good thing. Some of these days people will wake up and want an iron article that is scarce. Then prices will go up. The Whole Department Shut Down. The 84 employes of Jones & Laughlins' structural works are still on a strike. They want a nine-hour day. The entir depart ment is now closed down. SPRINGER IS THE MAN. Be Seonrei the Permanent Secretaryship ot the Window Glass Workers' Association There IT as Only One Candidate Against Him Ho Won With Ease. The National Executive Board of the Window Glass Workers' Association last night elected William Springer its perma nent Secretary. He has been filling that position since Mr. Cake resigned. The meeting was a very secret one. There were several reports current as to who were candidates. It was stated in the after noon that Mr. Cake would be a candidate, but it was denied after the meeting last night A. K. Fultner was reported as being the only competitor Mr. Springer had for the position, and he won easy. Tdere is an effort being made to have a convention of the glass workers about July 12, but the friends ofCake deny that it has any connection with his case. The other side still think it has all to do with Mr. Cake's future, as his friends are doing a great deal of private hustling in the matter. IBIED TO KIDNAP. Sensational Experlonco ot a Tonnz I4tdy TTho Went BnBST Rldlns. Miss Katie McClusky, a young lady Hy ing at No. 901 Fifth avenue, had an ex perience last night that she will remember for some time. About 9 o'clock she was walking along Fifth avenue, near her home, when two young men drove up to the sidewalk and invited her to take a ride. She accepted and the three drove out Forbes street After they had driven away out on Squirrel Hill the voung lady asked the men to turn back. This they refused, telling her that they intended to kidnao her. This frightened her so badly that she beian to scream and fight to get out of the buggy. Dr. Walls, the veterinary surgeon, hap pened to be driving alone and heard the eirl scream for help. He drove up to the buggy, and, after a fight with the young men, he succeeded in getting the young lady away from the men. Dr. Walls then drove the girl to the Fourteenth ward po lice station, where she told her story and gave Sergeant McEllhany a description of the men and rig and Detectives Sterck and Bendle are working on the case. The girl was badly frightened and almost pros trated when she reached the station house. Officer Singer took her to her home, on Fifth avenue. COMHEBCIAL MEN NOT 117 IT. Kallroad Telecraph Operators Opposed to Universal Union at Present The Order of Eailroad Telegraphers held an open meeting last night at their hall, 102 Fourth avenue, to con sider the matter of instructing dele gates to the Natioual Convention to be held in Chattanooga, Tenn., on June 16. The commercial telegraphers were in vited to attend to advance arguments for universal organization. The railroad oper ators have the only organization now, and the Western Union men are unorganized. At the meeting it was developed that the railroad men are willing to assist the com mercial men to organize, but at present they want to complete the organization ot their own forces before attempting to ficht the battles of the commercial men. The railroad men are not afraid of commercial men taking their places. They want the commercial men to organize, because there are more telegraphers now than the country will use for the next ten years. Delegates were instructed to oppose any universal organization for the next few years. SHOVERS OF THE QUEEB. Mr. Barry Says Counterfeiters Are Once Mori at Work In the State. Deputy United States Marshal Barry went to BuDalo last evening. He says the counterfeit business has been breaking out again in the State of late. After the ar rests were made near Corry sometime ago there was a lull, but sh overs of the queer are at work once more. Numerous complaints are coming in to the officers, and it is only a question of time until the counterfeiters are captured. He declined to say in what section the counterfeit money is being passed. "That Corry gang," said Mr. Barry, "is naturally tough. It is not their fault They are born criminals. "Their ancestors were originally driven out of the colonies in New Eneland for horse thieving and other crooked work. They settled along the border near Corry. Any man traveling through that section will notice the dishonest look in the peo ple's faces. Of course there are lots of good people in that section, hut many of them can't get away from their origin." THE PLTJMBEES' DELEGATES. Those Who Will Represent Plttsbnrc in the Washington Convention.

Sergeant Stewart in Great Glee OTer ft Pre dicted Cold Day. THE Gil CROWDS DISCOMFITURE A malignant expression of ghoulish glee rested upon the sallow features of the weather man yesterday as he nestled in his chinchilla overcoat and muttered little idiotic words that Bounded like "I told you so." The weather man was oold, but he was happy; one of hit predictions had come true, and thereat he rejoiced. The weather man foretold that the tem perature would fall; that the people ot Western Pennsylvania would shiver and shake; that the face of the earth would be covered by a light frost and various other unkind things. And, as the chill, bleak winds swept around his office near the sky, in the Schmidt building over on Filth avenue, he rubbed his thin hands together and chuckled inwardly. But his cup of joy was not filled to over flowing until along toward the early hours ot the afternoon, where the matinee girls were getting ready to start for town. Then the somber, dart heavens were unveiled and the bright, soul-inspiring sun's rays bathed the grimy streets with the oft-writ-ten-of golden flood of light The Weather Sharp Confratniates Himself. The weather man turned his eyes rever ently toward the sun, and he repeated, "I told you so," for tho ninety-third time since the break of day. Then he stepped to the window and watched the changing phantasmagoric of the crowds far below. At first the crowd wrs clothed in winter darkness. The dark overcoats of the men, the cozy furs of the ladles, and the cold blue looks of the faces made fitting the garb of the dav. Then, as the chunks of clouds drifted and dropped farther apart, there was the beginning of a change. Occasionally a bright hued hit of headgear flitted in and out among the throng. The weather man's eyes sparkled again, he murmured, "I told you so." Warmer was the air, brighter were the rays and tue change in tho crowd went on. Incoming cars discharged their heavy but fascinating loads. Tho matinee orowds were coming in. The crowd presented the spectacle of a forest ground just after the snow has melted, with the darkuess relieved here and there with a dainty snowdrop, only here the snowdrops came from the milliners instead of mother earth. The somber crowd was relieved with various clusters of Bpring suited females. An occa sional bouquet of a bevy of dear, dimpled daughters and sisters of brightest hued suits wended their erratic way, bumping into knots of darker costumed ones with courage begot of companionship. The weather man's smile broadened and his lips moved as he spoke the time-honored phrase. Spring Girls Fllrtlns With Winter. More cars, more clusters, more bouquets, and now the dark relieved the brightness. The latter predominates. The stream of passersby is like a panoramic view of days iong agone, a dazzling array of the most ex travagant colors decking equally extravagant fair ones. Bounets worth their weight in cop per, bonnets worth their weight in gold, and bonnets of no weight at all and yet worth more than all. Suits of flow ing fullness, suits of painful tight ness, basques cut high, basques cut low, basques which no one knew now theywere cut. Opera cloaks of ugly style, operajcloaks- of attractive style and opera cloaks of no style at all, but which were fan. more bewitching than those with styleThe tray crowd increased and surged and the weather man smiled on. Suddenly the weather man ceaed his smilings and mutterings. He moved mys teriously toward his peculiar machines. He passed his hands through the air as does Fannie Davenport in the storm scene. He began singing a weird accompaniment to the movements of his hands, and the eyes of the office cat took on a dark green hue, and he mewed peculiarly. The heavens darkened. A chill, cutting wind sprang from the Soho regions and came cavorting down the street like the witches after poor old Tarn O'Shanter's mare. The wind was the kind that robbed Poe ot his Annabel Lee. It was a heartless weather man's wind. The Matinee Girl Was Mad. The crowd received the wind coldly and surlily. They were not to blame, for the wind managed to scurry in and out among that gaily-dressed throng with an utter disregard for sex or condition. The bare-looted newsboy forgot to wait for the baseball score and hustled about to sell his papers. The sporty boy on the corner forgot to ogle every feminine passerby'and sought the enervating atmos phere of the nearest buffet The matinee girl looked surprised, shivered, laughed dolefully and then hastened on. The aspect of the crowd again changed, all was hurry, rush and bustle and still the wind kept up his unkind play. Far up in the little dark room of the signal service office was a peculiar scene. The office cat was perched on a slowly mov ing machine. His eyes burned with.lelino pleasure as he watched the ac tions of the weather man. The latter laughed fiendishly. He ran to the window, looked down on the unfortu nate ones below and then danced an insane jig. His eyes shone strangely. His lips moved and oti the chill air was wafted the words: "I told you so." BAH) ON CAB BIDEB3. Pennsylvania Railroad Police Captare 40 People Daring the Week. The Pennsylvania police made a midnight raid on car riders Friday at Conemaugh. A haul of 21 people was made. Yesterday they were sent to the Ebensburg jail for 20 days. In the crowd was II. Adams, alias Harry Officer. Most of the men were quite respectable, and able to pay their lares. A few of them had corde from Altoona to attend a ball in Johnstown aud they were rigged out in their best suit of clothes. Others were found in box cars with their shoes off and their coats and vests under their heads as pillows. They were calmly sleeping the sleep of the iust when they were gobbled by the police. Two of the riders broke away, waded the Conemaugh river and escaped. The raid at night was a surprise, as other onslaughts on these people were made dur ing the day. The total number of riders arrested during the week on the Pittsburg division was 40. Presbyterians Coin; to Portland.

Carey, of the Morse sehool, was a close jecond, Her percentage being 10.29. There were ten itudiei in tSL WOMEN'S WATCHES. Pittsburg Ladles Most Have and Insist Upon Keeping Dp With the Styles Taking Chances on Pickpockets and Accidents A Temptation to the Dishon est Said a Fifth avenue Jeweler yesterday afternoon as he looked out at the matinee crowds passing along: "It is really wonderful how Pittsburg women manage to get the newest fadi almost before they are out I believe if an East End woman were shut up in a dungeon, where she never saw anyone, she would, in some mysterious manner, keep the run of the fashions of the outside world. Do you notice the different way women wear their watches at various periods? Some time ago it was the custom to wear a long chain around their necks, the watch reposing in a special pocket at the wsist band. Then the chain was cut a little shorter, and the watch had to be lifted sev eral inches to correspond. Nowadays the woman's chain is the merest little affair, containing only a few ordinary-sized links, and the watch is inside the dress not much below the chin. When the owner wants to know the time she has to go through a performance that would irritate a man be yond all bearing. She has to detach the chain completely and then fish for the watch, and in the course of a minute or so she can look at the dial and give you the time within, say, 15 minutes either way, which is about as near as a woman's watch generally gets to the exact hour. "Nor is the watch always worn inside the dress. A dangerous style exists for the watch to be suspended actually outside, hanging by its chain to a pin in the dress, and dangling about as a continual tempta tion to thieves. At first only the small, cheap chatelaine watches were worn in this way, but the women seem to think that the watch looks well outside, and you may now see valuable gold watches swinging about their small chains, with nothing to protect them but a very uncertain pin and the possibility of the woman not being absorbed in shop windows or other women's dresses while on the streets. Remon strances have no effect upon women when they are bowing to Dame Fashion. All the patient husband and lather can do is to hope that there will be another decree by the arbitrary goddess be fore long that will put the watches out of sight into a place of safety. Such customs give a stimulus to the watch trade, but they are expensive to the men who have to buy women's watches." THE DECALOGUE OF FATE.

Contracts Let and Wort: of Construction Already Under Way. FATE OP A EIUILAR ENTERPRISE The first independent pipe line, or one not owned by the Standard Oil Company, built from the oil regions of Pennsylvania to the seaboard was commenced yesterday. It will be known as the Crescent, and the principal stockholder is W. I Mellon, of Pittsburg. The pipe will be 5 inches in diameter, and will cost when completed a little less than $2,000,000. From time to time rumors regarding it have been pub lished, but the first facts in regard to it were given to The DlSPATCn yesterday. The intention of the owners was to begin the work April 15, and have it in operation within the next 100 days, bnt owing to the pipe not being ready they were compelled to wait until the present time. The con tract for nearly all the pipe, which will amount to about 1,580,000 leet, has been di vided between the National, the Duquesne and the Continental Tube Works. It will cost a fraction over 53 cents a foot, or near ly 51,000,000. Will Extend to Tidewater. The line is to extend from the McDonald oil field to Marcus Hook, on the Delaware river, a few miles below Philadelphia, Marcus Hook is considered the best ship ping point on the Delaware, and at that point the Bear Creek Kefining Company is building a refinery. This for the present will consist of 12 stills of 600 barrels capa city each, or 7,200 barrels a day. It is not probable, however, that this amount of oil can be run from the refinery except once in 48 hours. The greater part or the telegraph line has already been constructed along the route which the pipe line will follow. The Monongahela river will be crossed at Port Perry, and then branching off to the southeast will follow the southern tier of counties to the seaboard. There will be eight pump stations along the line, furnished with improved Worth ington pumps, which will be able to force a little more than 300 barrels an hour through the five-inch main line. What will he known as the Western division will extend from Greeg station, on the Panhandle, to Mt Holly, in Somerset county, a distance of 165 miles. Ilaalins Pipe for the tine. The contract for teamintr along this divi sion has been given to G. A. Weeger, a well known oil ountry teamster, and he has commenced ' haul pipe to Walker's Mills and Kiverton, southwest of Pittsbnrg, and screwing gau,;s of 20 men each will be at work in a few days, and as each gang can put together about a mile a day it should not take them more than 90 days to lay the 300 miles of pipe. The pipe is being shipped to the railroad points nearest the fine as soon as it leaves the tube works, and the men in charge of the work expect to have the last joint laid within a few days after it leaves the mill. The "entire line, with its stations, tele graph wires, rights ot wav, machinery and cost of construction will use up more money than would take to build a narrow gauge railroad the same distance. It will transport more oil, however, than a train of 70 tank cars leaving Pittsburg every day, and the cost of transportation through the pipe will be only a fraction of what it would cost by rail. If it is found necessary the Bear Creek Refining Com pany intends to enlarge its refinery at Mar cus Hook, and the Crescent Pipe Line Com pany, expects to build branches into all of the neighboring oil fields.
