The sub ject was presented to the Chambjr in a piper read by George T. Oliver, in which hj pointed out some of the more glaring irregularities. The result of the inestiga Urns into the subject will probably be the establishment of a ireight bureau in Pitts lb rg. The letter upon the subject read before the chamber some time ago by Robert J. Bailey was returned by the Committee on Transportation and Railroads without any recommendation. Alter an examination the committee came to the conclusion that its contents did not justify the attention of the board or its conniittee. In presenting its report the committee said it was entirely willing to take up the subject anew and asked that any persons prepared to furnish reliable data to the committee in connection with the subject of freights should leave their names with the Superintendent of the Chamber in order that they may be notified to appear before the committee at its fnture meetings. A Treiglit Bureau Sucscsted. In considering Mr. Bailey's letter in committee last Friday evening three hours were spent. It was the general opinion among the members thst it was not for the Chamber of Commerce to undertake the ex pense of maintaining a bureau with a com petent man in charge to look after the in terests of the manufacturers. It was proposed that the manufacturers, mer chants and others interested should create a separate organization lor the establishment of a freight bureau, which should be oper ated under the prestige of the Chamber of Commerce, but the expenses to be paid by the association so formed. A few hundred dollars to pay the salary of a competent, well-informed man, who would ilerote his whole time to obtaining an equalization of ratesj" would obviate the difficulties that the Chamber of Commerce has heretofore en sountered lack ot funds and time to push their claims and the expenditure would not be noticed. After presenting the report on Mr. Bailey's letter, 3Ir. Scott asked that Mr. George T. Oliver be permitted to read a paper which he had prepared on the sub ject of freight discrimination. Mr. Oliver presented strong arguments, showing the need of the establishment of a bureau to look after freight rates. Mr. Oliver said: 1 "A Draw back to Manufacturers. It? a, matter of cemmonromark that -whilo Allielhony county maintains tile position she has held for a generation as tue great Heavy manufacturing center of tne United States, Bho is making little or no progress in finish ing the materials which she turns out iu sucli abundance. Thousands of tons of iron and steel are dally produced w ithtn her borders to be shipped to different points east and west, there to receive tho finishing touches which alone will rcndertliem of value to the consumer. To a thought'ul mlno. the ques tion naturally occurs, why is not rittsourg as Rood a locality as any other for this kind ofworkt Is there any good reason why the raw materials which we produce In such abundance should not bo finished here in stead of beiuir bhipped hundred orperhaps thousands of miles to points whoso only advnntage ovrr us lios in the cnery and enterpiise oi their people? ilust we content ourselves with being the liodcar riers and laborers for the whole United Slates? I honestlv believe that we nro drift ing in this direction much faster than most ol'us suppose. While our prozress in the past lits been marvelous, it lias been mainlv hecause we possessed ad antages in the way of cheap tuel which other localities now share with us. and in some instances really outstrip us. Tne manufacturers of the nat ural ?as belts or Ohio and Indiana still enjoy the tuel which is a matter of blessed lnoni orv with u. and mot of them have freight contracts with the ro.nl s on which tlier uie located which enablo them to successfully compete with Putsuurg manufacturers. Recognition From. Railroads Xecebsary. I am no pessimist in regard to Pittsburg. I believe she can not only maintain her su premacy as a manufacturing center, but can largely Increase her importance in the In dustrial world. She can do even more than this. She can build up her mercantile inter ests so that they will rival her manutactures in importance and extent. This, hon ever. can only be accomplished by earnest thought and diligent, continued efforts on althougn tho owners have never for a moment relaxed their efforts to hold their Northwestern trade, but have fought lor it Inch by inch. Railroads Refuse to Grant Keller. It would seem that a mere presentation of these facts to the representatives of the railroads would of Itself bring about a remedy. Not so. Tho matter has been re peatedly brought to their attention, and though they have acknowledged the In justice, they have absolutely refused to crant any relief. , ,. 1 have thus far treated this evil only 9.9 It affected the class or business men to whioh I belong, for my experience, as woll as my information on the subject, lies altogether in that direction; bnt manufacturers are not n? nnv -mpftna tlio onlv ones interested In it. I have already intimated that with proper treatment Plttsbuig can be made a great commercial center. The enormous growth or the Jobbing trade in gioceries, hardware and do goods within the past ten years is but an index or what can be done in these diiectionsit the gross injustice now prac ticed is onco removed. Pittsburg is almost exnetly hnir way between New York and Chicago. In population the Pittsburg dis t.1ct is equal to what Chicago was ten j ears ago: in commercial importance it i""y e tw iqu'als any other, with the exception or the unoliArannmul flYlrt 1 (inil't think 1 OVer- state it when I say that it gives more Ireight to tbe carriers than any other district In the United States without exception, "eing equally distant from Chlcagoand ieir York, it is entitled to half-way rates on all classes of ireight, and rates to all other points on the snmo bai.

Now according to mv theory Pittsburg is entitled to a rate or 37K f'"m Now York, .ind the same rate from Pittsburg to Chi cago. It must be remembered that on goods hauled from New York (through Pittsburg) to Chicago, the lines east of Pittsburg re ceive only half of tho total rate, or 37Kc Why should they ask more for goods con signed to Pittsburg, except perhaps a slight charge for terminals, w hich Phould be cov er ed by c pel 100 pounds. The following statement will show the present rates on the diffbient classes, and also what rates would prevail if my suggestions were adopted: STOLE THE MEETING.

I am suie that I am within tho mark when IstAte that within the past ton rears the ooat, as woll as the belling price, of Iron and Zi steel in their various lorms has been re Wi duced fromlOto Sipercent. The reduction 3. will certainly average 25 percent. Thisin 5 eludes most articles entering Into railroad equipment, and 1 believe will apply ns well f the average cost of railroad operation's. 4 Yet in that time theie has not onlv been no i reduction In freights on iron Rnd steel, but an actual advance, in some cases amounting o 50 per cent and averaging over 20 in the rates chargod from Pittsburg to the princi pal points where she must look fora market, notably Chicago and St. Louis. I admit that some i eductions have been granted.but these have lnvarinbly been on partially manufactured articles such as steel billets and wire rods, which torm the raw material of the Eastern or Western manufacturer, who is by these very reductions enabled to compete more easily with Pittsburg, I con fess I know nothing about railroading, but from a common sense, nun-professional standpoint it seems to me that it would be infinitely better lor the railroads to so ad just rates as to encourage the working up or this material at home, and thus secure for their own lines longer hauls or finished articles at better rates. Examples orFrelght Discrimination. I will give one or two examples of how the present system works. The rate on teel billets from Pittsburg to Cleveland has lately been reduced to $1 per gross ton. To ship tho product of these billets, in tbe shape of wire or nails, costs the Pittsburg manufacturer $2 13 per tou. Wire rods are carried Irom Pittsburg to Chicago for $2 40 tier ton, while It costs $4 15 per ton to ship wire nails over the same route But the worst case Is East St. Louis, to which point the railroads carry wire rods lor $2 75 per luu, wuu lucj kmoicc: i yvsk luu lOrnilllS. 1 give these instances because thev come within the limits of my personal experi ence. I have no donbt that manufacturers in other lines suffer J ust as much. When we attempt, therefore, to compete for Western buslnesJkwe are confronted by a differential of $1 75 per ton In favor or the Chicago ana $2 a per ton in favor of tbe St. Louis manufacturer. Another instance a ton of steel billets can be transported from Pittsburg to Anderson, lnd., converted Into nails, and from there hauled to Louis ville at a freight charge of cents per ke less than If manufactured into nails in . Pittsburg and shipped direct to Loolsville. As a result of this outrageous policy, we are 71-adually losing the trade of the crett Northwest; and other losses will as surely follow. I have before me the tecordsof t one Pittsburg manufactory which five yean , ago shipped fiO per cent of Its product to and via Chicago. Unring the present year It shipped bnt 11 per cent in that direction, It is h.ird to estimate the advantages that would lcsult it this boon were secured for Pittsburg. In my opinion it can not only be accomplished, but is absolutely necessaiy to our futuio welfare and continued prosper ity. It can only bo achieved, however, by diligent work and plenty ot It. I bellove that the Chamber or Commerce, as the rep resentative or the interests or the city, should take the initiatory steps in the mat ter, and with this end in view I propose the formation of a permanent "freight associa tion" to be auxiliary to this chamber, and to be sustained by annual contributions from such Duslness men. firms or corpora tions as may enroll theuiscUos among its members: the object of which shall be tho prosecution of a campaign to secure Jor Pittsburg such concessions as are essential to the maintenance of her supremacy in the Industrial world and the increase and ex: tension of her trade. What Cincinnati Has Secured. I have read the report of an association of this kind organized in connection with the Chamber or Commerce or the city or Cin cinnati. It has been In operation only about two years, but has already accomplished Important results, and its good work hag only begnn. Tho details or the oiganization can bo left to the Committee on Iransporta tlon of this Chamber, but I believe that tho matter Is important enough and urgent enough to justify you In lnsttucting them to take the matter in hand at once. I have conferred ith many of the representatives of all classes in business on tlio subject, and find among them but one opinion, and I think I am sate in promising that there will be no lack or financial aid if tho project Is once fairly started. jrr. Oliver's paper was referred to the Committee on Transportation aud Bail roads. Firms Admitted to Membership. The following firms were eleoted to mem bership in tbe chamber: J. J. Porter, Bun- levy iiros., liarije iiros., .Nicola Uros., J. Strassburger & Co. and llobert J. Bailey. A letter was then read irom the Phila delphia Board of Trade requesting that the Chamber take action upon the subject of giving Board of Health officers police juris diction over drainage areasot Pennsylvania from which water supplies are taken, and to protect the waterways from pollution, this action being called for by the threat ened invasion ot cholera into Pennsylvania and other states. This letter was referred to the Committee on Legislation. A letter was then read from T. P. Tucker asking that the sanction of the Chamber be given to a publication in Spanish relating to the industries ot Pittsburg. It was re ferred to the Committee on Trade Helations with South America.

The citiiens of tbe Fifth, Sixth, Ninth, Tenth and Eleventh wards, Allegheny, met in the Sixth ward school hall last night to discuss the bond issue and other matters of interest to the citizens. Fully 200 were present when John Wilhelm, Ji., called the meeting to order. Messrs. Alex. "Wilson and Geo. Cochran were nominated for chairman aDd a standing vote was taken which resulted in the selection of Mr. Wilson, and Captain Barbour, David Fulton and a Gamble, secretaries. Chair man "Wilsop announced the object of the meeting to be a discussion of the proposed bond issue and ot measures for re form In the government of Allegheny City. He then called for remarks. A motion was here made to limit speakers to ten minutes, and after considerable discussion it was adopted. Attorney George D. Kiddle, of the Sec ond ward, was the first speaker to take the stand. He said he believed the Mayor and Councilmen should be elected irrespective of party and the city run by tbe best men. He didn't know much about municipal af fairs now, he said. He then proceeded to tell In what an excellent manner the city was governed 15 years ago, when he was in Councils, and what good men composed it then. How tlio Government lias "Changed. In the last 15 years, however, a change has taken place; councilmen have changed; taxes increased 200 or 300 per cent; fran chises worth millions given to railroads for which the city never got a cent; California avenue has been opened and cost the city SG5.000 and she owes f 25, 000 more, though land benefited had been greatly enhanced iu value and paid nothing. This, he was told, was brought about by members In Councils interested in it Next he touched on the electric light plant and the failure of the high towers. On the bond issue the speaker said that they ought to have better water, better streets aud more light, but were they going to give the men now in Councils $2,250,000 more to expend. From their past record could tbey expect any thing from It ? He was in favor ot the im provements, aud ii he was sure the money would be used for improvements he would vote for it. The remedy for it all, however, was to elect the right kind of men to Coun cils next February. John 'Wilhelm, Jr., said be thought im provements ought to be made and a little money ought to be spent, but the Council men, from past experience, were not such as to warrant the bond issue. He referred to the failure of the electric light towers. and remarked that the city should have enough rent coming in from Pittsbnrg and Western Railroad and traction company franchises to keep the streets in. good condition. He next spoke of the Silsby engine purchase, and said Allegheny did not need silver or nickel-plated engines any more than any other city. Was There to Get Information. John H. Hickettson was called on for a speech. He replied that he came there to hear how to vote. It seemed to be an old jashioned town meeting, and if there were more of them they would have a better city government. James B. Scott was called on and said he indorsed Mr. Rickettson's remarks, but had -no speech to make. S. S. .Robinson, the next, said he objected to an indiscriminate condemnation of all councilmen. He knew some councilmen against whom not a word could be said. It was not gentlemanly or manly to attack all in a general way. If they knew anyone nau aone wrong tney snouia name him. Some one exclaimed: "Tell us about the Silsby engine deal." "Well, I'll take that up," said Mr. Rob inson. "It hasn't passed Select Council vet, and if it should not pass you would feel bad lor condemning Select Council for what they have not done." Mr. Robinson said further that there was not the slightest evi dence there was any crookedness in the matter. George Cochran, an ex-Councilman, was called on. He responded and gave his reasons in detail lor voting against the bond issue. He would not vote for the water bonds because no plans had been pre pared, and thev only knew they were going "up the river." He was In favor of street and sewer improvements and more lights. but they should pay as they go and keep down the bonded debt oi the city. Dyed in the Blood of Corruption. Thompson Walkup, of the Eleventh ward, took the stand. Alter sarcastic references to Councilmen and city officials, he said Al legheny was in a bad condition, and is sur passed by even country towns. The reason was that the finances were not handled properly; "the officers were incapable, and their skirts were dved in the blood of corruption." Mr. Walkup then took up the revelations of 'the Auditing Committee last year and proceeded to recite them. Alter some time he reached the office of Chief of Police, when calls for points ot order were raited. Mr. "Walkup tried to continue, but Mb voice was drowned by ories from all parts of the halL Shouts for order were heard, and one man exclaimed: "It's not lair tor a lot of policemen to try to run this meeting." When quiet was finally restored a motion was adopted to extend Mr. Walkup'a time. He again started, but when he mentioned the name Murphy the cries were repeated again. John Trimble exclaimed that it was a shame. They invited u gentleman to come there and speak and then crv him down. He was ashamed to be a citizen of the Sixth ward. John Wilhelm indorsed Mr. TrimMa ond hoped that the persons making such a lurore were not citizens of tbe Sixth ward. Gave TJp In Di spair. Mr. Walkup tried again, but he could not be heard and finally left the stare. Councilman Lee Frasherhere arrived and was called to the stage. Referring to the bond issue he said Councils had laid the matter before the people for their decision. It rested with them. What more could any set of legislators do? A. M. Marshall was the next speaker He laid there are 1,500 vacant houses in Allegheny, and people are going everv day to the East End because they have more Im provements, better streets, etc. The good eitizsns should turn out, sleet good officers, and elect such men to Councils as they would trust with their own business. They would get improvements then, and the city would be a good place in which to live and not leave. Mr. Marshall continued that he was in lavor ot voting ior the water bonds. They could see what Councils do with that, and wait with the other improvements. Addison Lysle spoke next. He favored issuing the bonds because the city needs the improvements, but the expenditures should be made by a commission of live citizens. He regretted the people could not also vote on having a commission to spend the money. Favored the Bond Issue. R. H. Boggs, ot Boggs & Buhl, spoke strongly in favor of issuing the bonds. He said that in February they could elect good councilmen and they would expend the money properly. They must first nave the money before 'they could make plans, etc.; that would only be good business policy. The man who does not vote for the issue of bonds, he said, ior better water and better streets, etc., votes against the interest of his own pocketbook. Continuing, he argued that a pure water supply, good streets, etc., improves the value of property, increases business, and is to the benefit of every man, woman and child in the city. In conclusion he said Allegheny should have pure water, good streets, a park and a boulevard, or else annex to Pittsburg and become a city. When Mr. Boggs had finished, Joseph Evans moved that the issue of all the bonds be approved by that meeting. The motion was put and amid cheers was declared carried. The meeting then adjourned. A BIG MONTH'S WORK. Coroner McDowell Disposes of 80 Cases Daring October Among Them Are Some of the Most Remarkable and Unique He Ever Dealt With. October was a remarkable month in the Coroner's office. There were 80 cases dis posed of, and in that number there were several of the most novel Coroner McDow ell ever had to deal with. Not a few of them were extremely sad, while as a whole they kept the Coroner Aid his corps ot as sistants busy. The esses cover a greater number of causes than usual, and violent deaths were more plentiful than in past months. They are as follows: Homicides, 3; suicides, 4, street car accidents, 5; death irom elevators in manufactories, 3; asphyxia, 2; electro cution, 1; death in coal mines, 2; children burned, 2; lamp explosion, 1; accidental poisoning, 3; drowned, 1; railroads, 19; ac cidental, 25; heart failure, 1; by falling down stairs, 2; death in prisons, 5. Four of the 80 persons were never identified. There were three other cases in October, but they were held over until November. The three deaths irom elevators in manu factories is a new thing ior the Coroner to deal with. In each cose he iound that the death was due to carelessness on tbe part of the employer. He also.iound that the State factory law did not cover the cases. Coroner McDowell found his hardest work in the Dell murder. He worked for a week on it and heard 51 witnesses. While the guilty party was never arrested, the work he did on the case he thinks will yet bear fruit. The Central Traction Company accident also made considerable work. The stabbing of young Stivison by Stuart Rodgers, a 10-year-old boy, was a case of more than usual sadness. The most unique accident in the history of Coroner McDowell's service iras the death of Frank Carmaux, who was car ried from Sheridan to Pittsburg on the pilot of the cannon ball express. The suicide of Marx, the McKeesport merchant: Julia Rice, who was drowned while boat riding in the Ohio, and the suffocation of J. J. Shaffer end Richard Johnston in a White Ash coal mine, all furnished interesting cases. Anton Schuab was the cause ot an interesting inquest. By mistake he drank carbolic acid for Whisky and death followed shortly. The list of unknown grows larger each month. Ad. Brush, one of the Coroner's clerks, has a way ot remedying this. His idea is to have the Legislature pass a law compelling every man, and woman to carrv their name and address. JOBES IS HOPEFUL The Independent Relieves lie Will Ba Elected to Confess.

Campbell Jobes, the Independent Republican candidate for Congress in ths Twenty-fourth district, put up at the Mo nongahela House last evening. He intends to confine himseli to Allegheny and Fay ette counties for the balance of the cam paign. Speaking of his prospects ho said: "George Lawrence says I have been running a church campaign. Well, a little religion and less whisky wouldn't hurt my friend's canvass ior tbe Legislature. I have been accused also of forming a coalition with Mr. Sipe. That is not true. I am not in this light to aid a Democrat, or to defeat Mr. Acheson. The people I represent are opposed to Mr. Acheson's political methods. I regard them as unrighteous. It is a ques tion whether Congressmen are to be named by the people or tbe bosses. I believe in the old and popular way. "I protest against the wav in which he was nominated. The Congressional pri maries were held in April, while the other officers were nominated in June. It is the first time on record when two primaries were held in Washington county, one for the Congressman and the other ior the bal ance of the ticket I have no objection to representation based on the vote of the dis trict if the county lines are wiped out, but it is most unjust with tbe county organiza tions maintained. Allegheny, Fayette, and Washington counties are nearly equally divided and can take care of themselves, but poor little Greene is at their mercy. This is not the fault ot Greene county. "I am very well satisfied with my can vass and think I will be elected. I have been in Allegheny county a good deal and just came irom McKeesport. It was claimed x wouian t get a vote in Allegheny, but some people will find they are badly mistaken. I will have a number of votes from this county. My work in Greene is done, and that section couldn't be pnt into better shape. I hear oi Democratic dis affection here and there. Some of the Democrats say they don't like Mr. Sipe, but I don't think he will be cut very much. I expect considerable support from Fayette. This is a peculiar contest, and it is hard to bgure out who will win. There are six candidates including Mr. Williamson, the Prohibitionist, and Mr. Aiken, the Popu late, irom Washington. I find that Mr. Williamson is very popular, and will get a great many votes irom that town; so also i Tr. Aiken I am told is strong in Washington." Mnncy Bankers to Bo Tried in Fittsbnrg.
