SHERMAN m KENTUoKY.
HIS Address to the People ut the Lex.
lnEtAn Fair.

CINCINNATI, August 29.- Secretary Sher
man made trip over the Southern Rail
road ts.dSy, and, on his return, halted ar
hour at Lexington, where the fair was
visited. Over 5000 persons were present
Col, Breckenridge introduced Mr.. sher,
man as a statesman who had won renown
in this and all civilized countries. The
Secretary then spoke aS follows:
FELLOW CITlzENs-I am in the habit on
occasions OF this kind TO obey orders. Al.
though the circumstances are unfavorable
for speaking still cannot receive the cor
dial and hearty greetings Of my Kentucky
friends without returning my grateful
thanks. have had the pleasure to-day
to ride over one hundred miles Of the Gin.
cinnati Southern Railroad, and have seen
for the first time the famous blue grass re.
glons Of Kentucky. | have always heard
the boast made by Kentuckians that they
had the finest portion OF the earth and
brave and handsome women, and now
am willing TO swear to It.
l have from my earliest boyhood many
recollections Of kindly stories Of the march
OF the Kentuckians on foot and horseback
to the relief OF the early settlers OF Ohio,
their contest with the British in the war
Of 1912, and with the Indians before that
time, and OF the heroic deeds done in de-
tense OF the infant settlements OF Ohio,
This has kindled in the hearts Of the
people OF Ohio kindly and grateful
feeling for the people Of Kentucky. And
now my fellow citizens am glad to netice
that the city OF Cincinnati Is able In part
to recompense you for these great services
by building through your beautiful coun.
try this well constructed line OF railroad,
which will greatly add 10 your wealth
and prosperity. hope the building OF this
great railroad, together with the recollec-
tons Of the service Of your fathers to mine,
to which l have referred may kindle anew
the old. feeling OF fraternity and regard.
These sister States are but parts Of great
country. They may have differed in past,
but they must now side by side hold their
places in this great nation, already rec
ognized as one Of the greatest in the world,
and hope they will be filed with hearts
beating warmly for each other in the
future.
With reference to anything In the past
that may in any way tend TO disturb the
cordial feeling, let US, each for himself in
his own way, do all he can TO promote har-
mony in our States, to the glory, honor
and reunion OF our whole country. And
now fellow.citiEens, without OBTAINING you
further from the enjoyments that call you
here, let me again return TO you my heart
felt thanks for the kind reception and bid
you good bye. God bless you all!

NEW YORK RAILROADS.


Undergoing Legislative Investigation.
SARATOGA, August 29.-The Railroad In
vestigating Committee resumed this morn
ing. Mr.. Vanderbilt testified in regarl to
the agreement Of March, 1872, between
the railroads and the oil producers and re-
tiners outside Of the Standard Company,
that rates should be impartial under the
same circumstances. He believed that
agreement was in force, but claimed that
the circumstances were now different. He
attributed the Standards monopoly not
alone to the capital handled by that com.
pany, but to the sharpness OF the men
composing the company. Oil transporta.
ton is lost to the railroads. He thought
if the Standard Company had the monop.
oily OF oil claimed they would control its
price. He didn't mean to let any com.
pany compel him to cary oil at a price
which would not pay, simply because
others did. He did not think they could
be put down by legislation.
He did not think the West had too many
railroads. There might be too many
running West, but not too many from the
West.
The New York Central has got rolling
stock to spare for ordinary business
The increased business comes ALA once
at one period Of the year, and no railroad
could afford to have equipment to nc.
comodate the traffic in the busy season.
He had seen three times as much freight
offered as could be taken and at the same
time low prices were prevailing. He
spent in the last four years six millions in
New York, for facilities and now was spend.
ing large sums and don't receive any bene-
fit for these expenditures.
He thought railroads were entitled to
protection by law, the same as non.mone-
tary interests; thought capital as much
entitled to protection sany other interest,
butts in favor OF alaw to punish railroads
going above or between certain rates, to
be fixed by the General Government CO.
operating with individual State Govern.
ments. A State Legislature can haul
railroads up at any time for an infringe.
ment Of law. He thinks II the Govern.
ment should interfere with shoemaker
or any merchant in the conduct Of his
business, the man interfered with would
be likely to sell out and quit the business.
After some questioning, Mr.. Vanderbilt
said: at has Just been suggested TO me
that you are trying to find out whether OF
not we are going to declare another 50 per
cent dividend. l guess not" The exam.
ination OF Vanderbilt soon ceased. ==

New York, Pennsylvania and Vermont,
and several Generals and Colonels OF the
United States Army. The monument was
unveiled with Masonic solemnity. Aus.
burn Towner then read a poem, and was
followed by an address by Ellis H. Roberts,
OF the Utica Herald.
General Sherman was loudly called for,
and in the course OF his speech said:
We are all at work ever since the first
white man landed on this Continent.
We cameto found an enterprise based on
new principles, and all opposition to II
had to pass away, whether it be the English
or French on the North, or the Indians
on the West, and no one knew it better
than our father, Washington. He gave
orders to Sullivan to come hero and punish
the Six Nations for their cruel massacre at
below, and to make it SO severe that il
would not occur again, and he did so. Sui.
livan obeyed his orders like man and
like soldier, and the result was that
from that time forward your people set
tied in these beautiful valleys all around
you, and now wherever your flag floats,
whether it be here or on the Mississippi,
or on the Rocky mountains, liberty and
law shall prevail-whether for Indian,
negro or white man, he will be no better
or no worse; he shall be free, independ'
ent and equal, and his rights shall be pre-
served.

COney Island Rnces.

NEW YoRx, August 29.-The Coney
Island beach track never was so crowded
as on this day, when the cup of winners oil
the season, Molly Mccarthy, Bramble and
Fortuna, were to meet and run for a
purse Of 900. Tho disappointment was
correspondingly great when it was learned
that Molly Mccarthy was known several
days ago among the interested to be unfit
ted TO run, indeed even to leave Saratoga,
A Adispatch from the owners SAYS that
Molly Is broken down and will never run
again. When Bramble and Fortuna ap.
peared on the track they were Cheered.
The horses got of on even terms and
Bramble at once went to the front and led
for mile and a quarter, when Fortuna
went up and the two ran together into the
home stretch. The whip was then used
on both and Fortuna went under the wire
length ahead. Time 5.02l.

sternwheeI Boats will be the Boats orths
Future.

Future.
Pittsburgh Dispatch.
The above heading will have few be.
levers, but large majority will say that
the thing is impossible. We belong to the
minority, and feel confident that the day
is not far distant when the Western wa
ters WILDE navigated almost exclusively
with sternwheel boats.
A few years since the first towboat we
had, the James Guthrie, Black Diamond,
Bellnnd, Conestoga, and others, were side
wheelers. The general opinion was that
sternwheelers should only be built on a
small scale for harbor purposes. Where
is the man to-day that would think oi
building sidewheel boat for towing pur-
poses?- That question is forever settled.
The first boats that opened the eyes oil
boatmen were the Michigan No. 2, Cleve.
land, Beaver, James Nelson, Lake Erie,
and some others engaged in the Pittsburgh
and Beaver trade. 1t was sight to see
them coming up against the current, with
six or seven canal-boats, at certain seasons
o. the year. This was a daily occurrence.
The Lake Erie and James Nelson were
probably the fastest stern-wheel boats ever
built, their time from Beaver to Pittsburgh
having never been beaten, and it is ex-
tremeIy doubtful il 1t ever will be.
A few years ago stern-wheelers did not
count, all told, Iorty boats. To-day Pitts
burgh can count $50, and Cincinnati,
Louisville, st. Louis, Evansville, and even
New Orleans, can count stern-wheel boats
by the dozen. The fact is, Pittsburgh
boatmen aud boatbuilders have forced
other cities to follow their example, and
as revolutions never 90 backward, we may
expect to see stern.wheelers gradually
take the place Of side-wheelerS throughout
the West Who does not remember when
the underwriters in Cincinnati, st. Louis
and other ports prohibited stern-wheel
boat, and refused to take risks on them
For instance, Missouri river. II you
wanted to 60 TO the mountains you
had to. send to Captain Sparhank, oi
St Louis, and pay him Tor furnishing
the dimensions and size OF timber fasten.
ings, In fact, he was supreme, and
the boat must be side-wheel, and after fol.
lowing his directions the boat on arrival
at 81, Louis must be detained, and freight
removes, when he wouldgo through all the
hullwi his tape and crew. Then it was
for him to say whether you would navi.
tate the Missouri or not. In those days il
was considered wonderful for boat tc
make the trip to Fort Benton and return
safe 10 st. Louis. What would these par
ties and the underwriters say II they were
to return and see what sternwheelerS art
doing, not only on the Missouri river, but
throughout the entire West and South
The tacti is, Pittsburgh boatmen and Pitts
burgh boat builders have worked an en-
tire revolution as relates to, boating, and |
we are. not mistaken the next Eve year,
will work even greater ones, All We wan

and thus closed, not the tenth as l wrote
