A SIGN OF THE TIMES.
Business Booming on Our Rail-
roads and the Managers Cor
respOndingly Happy.

/ Pitts Gazette.
Yesterday afternoon reporter Of this
paper met Mr.. Thomas E. Watt, the
Passenger Agent OF the Western Divi-
sion OF the Pennsylvania Railroad, and
hailed that prince OF good fellows with
the salt tatiOn, Whats the best word
in your line?"
"It's the best all around, was the re-
ply. ave have had the best season this
summer than we have had for a long
time"
as that So" said the reporter. "How
do you acCOut for it?"
That's easy enough. The times, l
think, are better, and people OF course,
have been travelling and getting little
good out OF their money. Then, too,
the railroads have been offering special
inducements in the way of cheap and
pleasant excursions, and pleasure and
health seekers have not been slow to ac-
cept the advantages. The chief reason,
however, is in the Frightening up OF
business"
"Does this activity peryade other de-
partments as well as the passenger
line"'
That's the report, and we are glad to
be able to report it so-both for the COM
pany and for the general public, for We
prosper just as the people do
The reporter, whose curiosity was
thus aroused, proceeded to make some
inquiries further in the same line, and
found that similar reports were made
by other roads. The managers OF each
line expressed their pleasure at the
success of the summer season, and of
the outlook for the fall business, and
the quiet satisfaction with which they
talked, and their CHEEKY tones gave
pleasant emphasis to their statements.
II an increase in railway business is
good indication of the public prosperity,
then are the auguries for the fall trade
full OF encouragement.

The Afghan Outbreak.

LONDON, September IA special
from Lapore says: Shikarpoor mer-
chants trading with Asia, report that
the revolt in Cabel is due to Russian in
trigues. Russian agents have been
most active at Hirat, and they have for
some months urged the Ameer' brother
to declare against him, promising the
support Of the Herat regiments. They
were charged by the Ameer's brother
with being the cause Ofthe revolt against
the Ameer and the English.
Reported Death Of the Ameer
LONDON, September IA dispatch
from Bombay this evening says the
greatest excitement has been caused
here by the report that the Ameer Of
AfghanistOn has been killed by the
rebels, or according to another version
that he had committed suicide.
LONDoN, September IA CORE
spondent at Simla mentions the report
originating at Kohat, that a message
from the Ameer had reached Ali keyl,
Thursday, and has been sent TO the
Viceroy. The reports, however, are not
authenticated.
LoNDoN, September ll.-SeriOIs riots
are proceeding in Cabul, and manv
traders and citizens have been killed.
Messages have reached Candahar from
Cabul urging a general rising among
the British on the 18th inst. Similar

Afghan Citiea. The frontier tribes are
still quiet.

The boilers OF EversOn, McCrum &
Co., at the ScOttsdale iron mills, struck
Yesterday for an increase of wages.
When the other Pittsburgh manufact-
urers signed the scale this firm cOntin-
ued running at former wages with nom

AJAX that the firm pay them according TO
the Pittsburgh scale. The firm declined,
the men quit work and the dampers
were shut down.
The employees at the Indianapolis ran!
mill have also struck tor an advance OF
ten per cent. on their old scale. The
works were idlc at the latest accounts.
Both of these strikes were inaugurated
by non-union men.
The puddlers' helpers at the Colum-
bus, Ohio, rail mill have also struck for
an increase to one-third and five per
cent.

POINT PLEASANT, w. VA.
Outrages bY Tramps.

PoINT PLEASANT, September lO.-The
tramp laws of Pennsylvania and Ohio
are driving the tramps into this State.
News has just reached here OF quite
number of depredations being
committed by them Of late on Big Six
teen, Arbuckle township, this county.
\ few days ago the house Of Mr. Dent
was burned in broad daylight, and it
and ITS contents destroyed. Loss about
500; no insurance. Since then quite a
number OF horses and cattle have been
poisoned and several houses entered and
burglarized by the outlaws in that
locality. This is not a good State for
such characters and if they are caught
We may have to report executions
ordered by Judge Lynch and court.

The Proposed Race at Rochester

TORONTO, Ont, September 1.-THE
Ereping Telegram of this city publishes
the following: There is absolutely moth
ing new in the Hanlan-Courtney race.
Hanlan, even on Saturday night, had
not an offer from Rochester, and all he
knew of the proposal was what appeared
in the columns of the press. He is dis
appointed at not hearing anything oflici-
ailv. He is willing and ready to row,
and inclined to be satisfied TO get the
race off his hands with as little bother as
is consistent with securing public conf
dence. Meantime he has entered upon
his training.

Denial tom secretary Sherman.

WASHINGTON, September ll.-Secre-
tary Sherman's attention having been
called to the published statement that
he had directed that the silver dollar
should not be received by the Treasury
in certain cases, says that the statement
is false. The law makes the silver dol
lar legal tender for all purposes and It
has always been received by the Treas
ury on payment Of the demands OF every
kind and as freely as gold.
