THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 3892. 8 11 BOOM f ROADS Prominent Pennsylvanians Moving for Better Conn try Highways. THE POWER OF THE PRESS To Be Invoked to Aid in the Passage of a Suitable Measure. PATTISOK'S OPINION WASTED. A Desire to IFntisfj the Governor and the Inral Eesidents. TTHT THE LAST EOAD BILL WAS VETOED Charles F. Ettla, the executive officer of the old DaTal commission, was in Pittsburg yesterday on his nay to New Castle and Erie. It will be remembered that the com mission spent considerable time and money in preparing a bill providing for the perma nent improvement of the State highways. It was passed by the lait Legislature, but the granger influence was strong enough with Governor Pattison-to persuade him to veto the measure. The farmers were afraid of a snake, and the Governor's main objec tion was the manner in which the annual appropriation was to be distributed among the various counties. Western Pennsylvania was represented on the commission by Superintendent David JlcCargo, of the Allegheny Valley road, Senator Sloan, who von't be a mem ber of the next Senate, and Mr. Griffith, of SIcKean county, who died recently. From the east was Stanley Goodwin, of Bethle hem, a prominent official of the Lehigh Valley road, and other influential people. .A. J. Cassatt, of Philadelphia, agreat lover of horse flesh and wide awake to the ad van Vices to be derived from good roads, helped the commission very much. In fact there was no trouble experienced in getting the people interested. Drafting a S'cw Koad BilL Now the chances are that the members of the old commission at their own expense this time will draft another bill and pre sent it to the Legislature Air. Ettla said he had talked with several ol the members lately, and he found them as enthusiastic as ever on the subject of better roads. He is positive that every man who was on the commission is willing to contribute his time and money in a second attempt to carry the Legislature and the Governor. "I expect to be back here in a few days," said Ztfr. Ettla, "to have a talk with Mr. McCargo. I know how he feels about the improvements, and I have no doubt of his hearty co-operation. I saw Stanley Good win at Bethlehem a few days aeo. He is anxious to make another effort. He com plimented The Pittsbueo Dispatch, and said if other papers in the State took as much interest in the road ques tion as The Dispatch the problem would be speedily solved. There is no rea son why the State should not appropriate annually 51,000,000 for permanent improve ments of the roads. I don't mean to spend the money for patch work. "Ve have had enough of plowing up ditches and throwing the dirt and refuse on the highways. What we need is some uniform system or better (ment. I wouldn't care whether the road was macadamized, or some other plan adopted, as long as the improvement was substantial and made the roads passable daring all seasons ot the year. Governor Tnttlson's Objections. 'In the bill we prepared we provided that the money should be divided among the counties according to the enterprise displayed. We had no objection to a man working ont his taxes when be did it at one time, and not in ajerky manner, as so many farmers do, working a little now, and then ouittin to return to the job some dav later. We thought the best basis of distribution was in proportion to the amount of road tar paid in cash, and Governor Pattison took exception to this proposition. The mem bers of the Boad Commission are so inter eted in this subject that if Governor Patti son himself or through his friends will in dicate what kind of a bill he will indorse we will gladly draft it according to his ideas, and do our best to push it through the Legislature. "It is useless for us to do anything toward preparing a bill until we Know who is appointed on the different committees and how they, feel about road improve ments. Then we will certainly go to work and prepare a second bill. I intend to irsue a circular letter shortly to the news- fiapers of the State asking "them to sav low much money they think should be ap" propriated annually lor improvements, and how it can be best distributed among the' counties. I expect to receive the views of all of them in return. The newspapers are the great educators, and we intend to look to them to stir up public enthusiasm. I'lenty of Money to Spare. "So far as the money is concerned I know the State can easily sp'are Si, 000,000 yearly. The last Legislature increased the school appropriations from 52,000,00(Ho 54,000,000 anuuallv, and the coming Legislature will advance the sum to $5,000,000. This is a fact, and I have no objection to increasing the amount ot money spent on school work. It is a good thing, but that is no reason why other great interests of the State should be neglected. I have been assured bv the State Treasurer, the Auditor Gen eral, the Secretary of Internal Affairs and the Tax Commission that with all the in crease contemplated in apnropriations there will be enough money lelt to spend 51.000,000 annually on the roads. Some uniform system of improvement should be adonted, and then the work should be car ried out from year to year until not a bad road is left in the State. "I never could understand why the farmers opposed the last road bilL The bulk of the State's revenue comes from Phil adelphia and Allegheny counties and the larger towns. The farmers in the inferior counties don't raise much of it. "We didn't ask them to contribute 51,000,000 out right We were practically giving them something for nothing, and they were afraid to take it. The money wouldn't help the cities and towns, for in them the property holders pay lor street improvements and their maintenance. The money was to be devoted entircIy,aImost, to bettering the condition of the country roads, and yet the grangers wouldn't have it. Improving the Value of Farms. "Whenever a road is improved it increases the value of every acre of land that it touches. I know ot many farmers in Penn sylvania who are unable to haul all their stufl to the railroads on account of bad roads, to say nothing of the war and tear on wagons, harness and horses. A. J". Cassatt told me that good roads make busi ness and increase the traffic for the rail roads. The farmers are enabled to move their produce easily, and the exchange among the people is rapid. "The citizens in the northwestern coun ties were greatly interested in the Mil, and were disappointed when it fell thronch. In these counties there is no limestone, and in fact few F'one of any kind, yet Mr. Bell, of Buffalo, ,u official of the Western New York and "innsylvania Company, assured me that - railroad would haul limestone quarries in New York to be used on the public roads in the northwestern counties for the cost ol the fuel burned in the en gines and the wages of the crew. This onlv shows what many people were willing to do toward improving the roads if the bill had not miscarried. . "I want to sav that it is no small matter to push a measure through the Legislature. It takes lots of coaxing and prodding to get a bill out of committee once it gets in. While our work went by default, we do not think that nothing was accomplished. The people were educated, and we hope to be successful this winter." A LIBEEIY STREET FIEE. One Jran Is Itun Over by a Tire Engine and Ulay Die. Last evening the heat from the office stove in Bulger & Wilbert's produce house, at 706 Liberty street, set fir! to a lot of paper. The flames communicated to the floor and a dfck, and broke out into quite a little conflagration., When the engines ar rived a blaze was leaping through the win dow. A stream from one of the chemical engines soon subdued it. Damans to the extent of some 5300 was done to the build ing, which is owned by T. and J. McCance, and is insnred. While responding to the alarm the hose reel of if o. 1 Company struck and knocked down Fred Fullertoi, an Allegheny citi-, zen. The wheels passed over his legs both of whicli were broken. The accident oc curred at Sixth and Libertv streets. While lying in the street Fnllerton was almost run over by the engine of No. 1 Company,following closely behind the reel, but some men ran out anil dragged him out of danger. He was sent to the Homeopa thic Hospital, and, beside the injuries named, was found to be hurt seriously about the body. THE COMET DUE T0-HIBHT. Wise Men Are Squabbling Over tho Visit or's Parentage. The long-looked-for comet is due between 9 and 10 o'clock night, and astronomers big and little are expecting a great treat. This visitor, which is so soon to arrive, has not been christened yet. The wise men are still squabbling over its parentage, but it will probably go down in history as Holmes' comet Great efforts are being put forward to prove that it is one of the Bicla system. There is still a reasonable doubt Prof. Very, of the Allegheny Observatory, has been a close observer of "this unnamed expected visitor. lit- says it has become hazy in appearance and indefinite in shape. This makes it difficult to determine its cen ter or head. During the last two or three nights the comet has increased in size, but faded in luminosity. This is credited to the fact that it is approaching the earth, and the haziness is accounted for on the principle that a faint object is more distinct a great distance. Meteoric showers are expected to follow in the wake of the comet WAHT A CITY HOSPITAL. The Coroner's Jury Recommend It In the Beach Icqnest The inquest was held in the case of William Beach yesterday. He is the man who died at the City Farm. Beach had erysipelas and none of the hospitals would take him. He had to be taken overland to the City Poor Farm, and the exposure is said to have hurried or probably caused his death. The jury recommended that the city establish a hospital for such cases. This is a scheme that Superintendent Baker, of the Health Bureau, is now working on, and Coroner McDowell is helping him as much as possible. The City Farm is the only place to send such cases, and then they have to be taken overland, as the railroads. will not carry them. Coroner McDowell thinks, from the fact that the new farm is to be farther away than the present one, the city hospital should be erected at once. HE WODXD HOT WOHK. Georse A, Tonne; Arrested for Deserting Ills Young tVlTe. George A. Young was arrested on the Southside yesterday by Officer Spraut on a charge of desertion and non-support made by his wife. For several months past he has neglected to provide for her. She had no means of .supnort and bad been reduced to destitute circumstances. Becoming tired of the delay she went before Alderman Gripp on November 7, and swore out a war rant Young heard of it, and left for Ohio, where he remained until yesterday, when he began working at the" Trenty-second street lerry.

Pinkerton, of C8 Baker street, Allegheny, fell from a Pleasant Valley car at Jack's Kun yesterday afternoon and was seriously.but not fatally, injured, about the face and body. He was taken to the Allegheny General Hospital. Her Story Didn't Go. Mrs. Thomas Dcering was at the Depart ment of Charities- yesterday and wanted help. She told a very pitiful story and said her husband had deserted her. Her story was not believed, and it was soon Jearned she was an imposter. A Perfect Piano Is a lasting Pleasure.

BOTH SIDES STICKING, Bnl a Change in the River Coal Min ersStrike May Come Soon. THE EFFECT OF BOATING WATER. Old Employes Eeplacirig Non-Union Work ers at Homestead. NEWS OP THE GREAT LABOR WORLD The close of the eleventh week of the river miners' strike finds both sides firm, The strike was declared on a reduction of half a cent a bushel asked by the operators, so as to put them on an equal footing with the railroads. The operators have been claiming that the strike was practically over for the past month, but there has been no considerable break and the fight is being pushed with vigor on both sides. At a special meeting of the Coal Ex change yesterday considerable business was transacted. Much of the time was spent in considering the strike and hearing tho committee's report on the number of men at work. Some men were reported to have returned, but there are only a few working in each mine. These are principally en gaged in driving headings and turning rooms. No coal of any consequence is be ing mined, and the operators are very un easy, as the season is mnch advanced. The Effect of Barge Water. Water is expected at any time, and when it does come about all the coal now loaded will be sent out, so that the market will be practically left to the railroads. The price for this fuel in the Southern markets is high and the demand good. This leaves the operators in a bad way, and it is no se cret that many of them are becoming very uneasy. In order to break the strike many of them have imported men, but their efforts have not been very successful, as in some instances the new men have been driven out by the strikers. Captain I. N. Bunton, in speaking of the outlook yesterdav. said: "The operators will not give in and pay U cent a bushel more for their coal than the railroads are now giving. It simply means death to the river trade, and many would likely sell out before giving in, but from reports I don't think anything like this will be necessary, as I think the mines will soon be at work at the reduced rates. Reports point to that, and I see no reason to doubt them. I think the strike will be over before De cember L" A miner from the fourth pool yesterday, when the strike w as mentioned, said: "We are as firm as ever. There is generally plenty of work and the miners are not suf fering. We understand the situation and know where the weak points of the opera- tors are ana intend to act accordingly. Tho Sllners Arc Not Discouraged. "All this talk about the strike being broken is nonsense. Every day that the strike continues our chances for winning in crease, and we intend to do that very thing. As soon as the water rises to a boating stage there will be some mighty quick changes, and I don't think it will be on our side either. Why, look at it the price for coal is away up and there is little in the South ern markets. Do you suppose the operators will allow this chance to pass. Well. I don't think so. It will be as it has been in other years, some operator will give us the price and the others will have to follow. I tell you up my way the people don't leel very well toward the new men, brought in to take their places and they won't stand it if it is kept up very long. The vote taken at the Globe works yesterday shows just about how the men feel on this question and I tell you they are not going to give in very soon. We can remain out better than, the operators and I have no doubt as to how the strike will end." It is generally considered among the boat stores that a change of some kind will take place soon, as the coming otthe water with the scarcity of coal will force some one to give in. The railroads are the gainers by the present strike, and it is to their interest to have it continued or get the river men to pay the old price. Some move is expected that will turn the strike one way or the other in a few days. IS A HEALTHY CONDITION. Secretary Dillon's Keport on the Ameri can Flint Glass Workers' Union. Secretary W. J. Dillon, of the American Flint Glass Workers' Union, has just issued his report for the six months ending Octo ber 3L The organization is in a healthy condition and shows an increase in the mem bership of 44.

The tawrcncevlllo Strikers Decide to Not , Declare the Strike Off. The strikers at the Upper and Lower Union Mills of the Carnegie Steel Com pany held another stormy meeting yester day morning. Tne committee appointed to see what terms could be secured from the company should they all decide to declare off the strike and return to work, reported they all want to return in a body, and should the company consent to this, the strike would soon end and no questions would be -asked. The meeting was secret and was well attended by the men, lully two-thirds of the strikers being present The Chairman had considerable difficulty in keeping order. There is now a considerable number who want to get released so as to cet bacs: their old positions without being deserters. For this reason they want the strike declared off Alter about four hours of discussion a vote was taken. The result showed that 120 wanted to continuo the strike and 43 wanted to declare qff the strike. The men ad journed to meet again Monday. The strik ers still receive benefits from the Amal gamated Association, and feel that some thing will still turn up to allow them some advantage. Will Incite Knights to Better Work. Master Workman Hugh Dempsey, of District Assentbly No. 3, Knights of Labor, yesterday stated that he hoped to secure the services of t R McQulre, of New York, to stir up more enthusiasm in the district and awaken the Knights to-their full duty.

McKeesport ii ooming forward as willing to aid the destitute Hometenrt ex-strikers. At a meeting of the councils Thursday evening it was decided to secure White's Opera House for a monster mass meeting to discuss some means ot raising a- fund for their relief. AFTER THE NON-UNION MEN. The Old Men Being Given Their Former Positions at Homestead Those Who Broke the Strike Will Have to Look for Work Elsewhere. The nen-union men who went to Home stead during the long lockout to hslp the Carnegie Company break the strike are now in hot water. Since the strike has been de clared off the company has suddenly be come independent, and now the non-union men are not sure of any of their positions. Joseph Bates, who had charge of the cranes in the converting department, was relieved of his position yesterday and told he would have to be removed so as to Rive wav to the man who held this position before the strike. Mr. Bates in speaking of bis experience said last evening: "I left Cincinnati and arrived at Homestead on August 17. I was put in the pit and opened the converting mill. After the mill was gotten in running order and things were going along smoothly. LI was put in charge of the converting de partment under hick itattigan. Last weeK when the strike was declared off, the com pany began to come down on the men and required strict attention to business. Yesterday I was told I could take a sub ordinate position under William Peters, the striker who formerly held the position, or remain in the mill as a laborer. I had received assurance before that 1 would not be removed except for good reasons. The proposition made to me yesterday made me angry and I Ictt the mill and intend to return to Cincinnati in a few days. I was removed for no other reason than to make room for the old man. "In all departments the same rule is being carried out, and the non-union men are thoroughly frightened. In the con verting department 13 men were laid off for the same cause; in the 33-inch mill yard 20 men more, and throughout all the mills it is the same, except in the 40-inch mill, which is in charge of Mr. Kennedy. He will not allow any of the men who helped the company break the strike to be discharged, except for good reasons. J predict that within two weeks all the old men will have been given their positions, and the non-union men will have to look out for themselves." AIL THOUGHT THE SAME WAT. The Men at tho Globe Mines Decide Unan imously to Continuo tho Strike. The miners at the Globe mines owned by Jones & Laughlins, in tho fourth pool, held another meeting yesterday to further consider returning to work. It was well attended, as at a meeting on Friday an ur gent appeal had been made that all be pres ent to-day. The question of returning at the reduced rate was discussed from all standpoints. With the expectation that there would soon be high water the men thought they had a good chance of winning. The asser tion of the company that they would run the mines at the reduced rates whether the men returned or not caused a good deal of feeling to be manifested in the discussion. When the question came up for a vote it was unanimously decided to stand out At the Friday meeting six had voted to return, but yesterday they were as determined lis the others.

John Ellis, Crazed by Detective Stories, Placed in the Asylum. . WANTED TO KILL A PRETTY NURSE. lie Claims to Be on the Trail of a Notorious Train Robber. RELATED TO THE FAMOUS JACE RA5ISAI Inspector Eichenlaub, of the Allegheny Department of Public Chanties, yesterday afternoon took John Ellis, the demented young man who has been confined in a padded cell at the Allegheny General Hos pital for the past three days, to Dixmont. Ellis, who -was crazed by reading detective stories, imagines that he is a great detective and that the hospital authorities tried to thwart him in his search for a notorious train robber, whom he thinks is hiding somewhere in this section. He became ex tremely violent yesterday morning and in his rage tore the pads entirely off one side of his cell and raved and fought with im aginary enemies with all the fury of a demon. The hospital authorities could do nothing with him, and they asked the De partment of Public Charities to have him sent to Dixmont Ellis got it into his head that Inspector Eichenlaub was a famous dctective,and will ingly went along with him yesterday. On the way to Dlxmout Ellis became veryjeon fidential. He evidently came from West moreland county, for he is well informed as to the location of all the towns in that county, and knows a great many people in, Greensburg. He says that his grandmother, Mrs. Sarah Bamsay, lives at Latrobe with her daughter, and that he is a cousin of Jack Ramsay, one of the members of the notorious Cooley gang, who is now in the Fayette County Jail awaiting trial. He also says that his father lives in Export, a small town near Jeannette, and that ne is a coal miner by trade. Ellis cut some queer capers while at the Allegheny General Hospital.' He seems to despise women and especially young ladies. One of the nurses went to his cell door on Friday night to give him some food, and he asked'her to give him his brace of pistols. "What do you want with pistols?" asked the nurse. x "To kill you with," Ellis replied. "You are the woman who is the accomplice of the train robber I am shadowing, and you are trying to put me off his track. If I put you out ot the way, I shall have no trouble in capturing him." He then poured forth a tirade ot abuse ngainst her, and tore around his cell Hire a wild beast. Chief Grubbs, of the Allegheny Depart ment of Public Charities, said yesterday that he had telegraphed to the county authorities of Westmoreland, asking whether Ellis belonged to that ;onnty, but has not yet received a reply.
