recentlv come into his hands. About $45,

People of the United States .of
Colombia Are Willing to Pay
GOOD PKICES FOE GOOD GOODS.
Golden Opportunities Offered by Water
Transportation.
ASKING FOE A BlVEB COMMISSION
At a meeting of the Board of Directors of
the Chamber of Commerce yesterday after
noon Colonel J. H. Pennington, formerly
of this city, bnt latterly of the United
States of Colombia, South America, ex
plained some ot the resources of the coun
try. The Colonel said there was no doubt bat
what it was the comiug country. "Its
wealth is almost boundless," he continued.
"One of tne principal reasons for appear
ing before you is this the people of that
country are turning to the United States
for supplier In the next' year Colombia
will need 200,000 tons of iron, and there is
no reason why Pittsburg should not reach
out lor it. The great trouble is transporta
tion facilities, as the only direct line to the
capital is under control of a British
syndicate. Pittsburg should have its own
line of steamers lrom Hew Orleans. The
people of Colombia have the greatest re
spect for Pittsburg, and if the business
men of this city only tried there is no
doubt that within the next year they could
put a million dollars worth of goods there.
Don't Like Being Swindled.
"The best plan would be to establish a
large commission bouse to handle all the
products. The people are tired of being
swindled with poor material and are willing
to pay more for American goods. There
are 15 boats built in Pittsburg running on
the Magdalene river that give such satis
faction that the people re willing to pay
S10.000 more for "a Pittsburg boat than- any
other. The Pittsburg locomotive also
has quite a hold. The American rail is in
demand. I will pay ?5 a ton more for the
American rail than 'any other because it is
the best. You can take an American rail
and break a piece off and make a tool to
cut with. Yon cannot do that with the
English or German rail. As a sample of
how the other countries have a hold, I
made a contract with a syndicate
who were offered 150,000 by an
English syndicate not to sign the
contract. Before I left for Pittsburg I put
in 55 days on a mule visiting people and
taking orders for goods manufactured here.
In regard to the glass business, there is
money in it Why, I broke a common
table goblet accidentally one dav and was
assessed 75 cents for it An ordinary chan
delier costs S100, but the people pay it
willingly they are wealthy and don t seem
to care.
An Easy and Cheap Route.
"The only means of transportation at
present is by water. It is 750 miles from
the mouth of the Magdalene river to Bogata,
the Capital, which will very soon be tra
versed by a railroad. All the supplies can
be furnished by Pittsburg, and it the busi
ness men will organize and adopt some plan
to secure this trade there is no doubt it can
be done. Liverpool is 3,300 miles and New
Orleans but L400 aud with your river
tacilities here there is no reason nhy you
should not compete with other countries
for the trade."
Colonel T. P. Boberts offered the follow
ing resolution;
WhkreaS, The Ohio river is the chief com
mercial tributary to the Mississippi river;
and,
Whereas, Important works for Improve
ment are .being made annually, it is
itesolvsd. That this Chamber urges upon
the attention of Congress the deliabillty
nnd Importance of placing the direction of
thee improvements of this Important
stream In the Rmiius or a. commission au
thorized to .cine for the Interests or the
Mississippi and MIssourirlvers respectively.
J. B. Scott, of the Committee on Bail
roads and Transportation, reported that
the committee had gathered a mas of ma
terial on the question of freight discrimina
tion, and submitted it to the different rail
road officials of this city; a repiy could be
expected at the next meeting.

A. COSTLY PASTING.
Broken Freight Train Causes a Wreck
and a Blockade on tbe Fort Wayne.
A freight train, which as effectually
stopped traffic on the Fort Wayne B&ilrrad
as if a wall had been built across the tracks,
occurred just about daybreak a half mile
below GlenCeld and on the curve a little
above Agnew station. The morning was
undoubtedly dark and when an eastbound
freight train parted it was not noticed until
the two sections had come together again
with a crash that derailed six or eight cars,
burling some down the steep river bank
and others across both tracks. It was a
heavy train of iron ore, bricks and such
freight, and the violent concussion was con
sequently remarkable. A barrier of
smashed cars, trucks and wheels arose
across both tracks. The rails and track
were torn up badlv for 50 yards. No one
waa hurt The damase was entirely to
rolling stock and track.
The blockade was total until nearly noon,
and the passengers on all the trains from
the "West had to be transferred at the
wreck to trains sent out from Allegheny
for the purpose. The suburban traffic was
also, ot course, g'eatly demoralized, but
thanks to the efficiency of the Fort Wayne's
wrecking corps and Superintendent Starr's
strenuous efforts, the delay was reduced to
a minimum.
A Thing or Beauty Is a Joy Forever.
The above adage applies mrst fittingly to
