PITTSBURGH, Oct. Is.

PITTSBURGH, Oct. Is.
While John Bley and James Maloney,
two switchmen, were repairing damage to
a freight car attached to train standing
at Derry Station, on the Pennsylvania
Railroad, yesterday, the engineer of push
ing engine at the rear of the train started
up, not being aware Of their presence UNI
der the car. Bley was crushed and man
gled beyond recognition and died instantly.
MaIoney was crushed against the tender,
his scalp almost torn from his head and
one arm and leg broken. The train was
quickly stopped and Maloney carried to the
engine and laid upon the floor. Train men
then started for Bley's remains and were
carrying them toward the engine, which
rwas detached, when they were horror
stricken to see Maloney, crazed with pain,
suddenly jump up and throw the throttle
valve wide open. The engine started with
fearful rapidity down grade. When La
trobe was reached, six miles from the scene
OF the accident, it came to a stop and Ma.
Ioney was found lying unconscious. He
was picked up and taken to the hospital
His injuries are mortal.

DUN'S REVIEW.
Trade Conditions This Week-A Timely
Warning AGAINST Exhaustion of Credit

Trade Conditions This Week-A Timely
Warning Against Expansion of Credit.
New YORK, Oct. Pr. G. Dun, of the
mercantile agency, reports that figures
available show considerable decline in
the volume of business at this point, which
is somewhat disappointing in view of the
fact that a month OF presumed activity is
yet to be anticipated IN purchases of gen
erai merchandise. Payments, however
have been very satisfactory thus far, and
the amount of goods taken during the
season yields a fair profit to jobbers,
though manufacturers have not much to
show, owing to excessive productions.
Lower prices generally prevailed in the
speculative market during the week,
though cotton was little high in the early
part owing to reports of
damage to the crop. There seems to be
no doubt of very corsi lerable demand
for the crop, though prices went several
points lower, amid good deal of ex-
element, yesterday, on the strength of
the reports that the damage was not 30
great as anticipated. The condition of
the south, however, is so much improved
that even partial failure can be better
borne now than ever before, and if prices
improve as anticipated, the loss by under
production will be somewhat made up. 1t
is clear from the showings made owing
to recent failures that the lines of credit
have become widely expanded, and that as
a rule the volume of Indebtedness is IT,
creased by the decline III values on the
stock market. The important failures
which have occurred, and the general want
of confidence that prevails, will afford a
wholesome check to unwise expansion in
credit

Comnendab1e Enterprise,

Mr.. Lewis G. Reinhard, of No. 90 East
Third street, yesterday purchased one OF
the largest consignments of liquors and
imported cigars ever brought to the city
1t consisted of seven barrels of Quicken.
heimer rye whisky of the distillation of
1879, and an equal quantity of bourbon
of the same antiquity, all from the best
distilleries of the country, and some
$1,000 worth of the choicest of imported
cigars. Mr.. Reinhard, during his brief
occupancy of the place, formerly occu-
pied by G. W. Magee, has built
up an excellent trade from among the
best class of citizens by providing for their
tastes only the best class of goods. This
reputation he is determined to maintain,
and even though he may win smaller pro-
fits, will sell over his bar the best wines,
liquors and cigars that can be obtained in
the market. The patronage he has received
in the past is sufficient guarantee that
his efforts to please have been appreciated
and the facts above stated are sufficient to
warrant a continuance and large access to
the business of his establishment.

IN UNWISE EXPENDITURE.

The system of dams at Leech lake, Lake
Winnebagosish and at other points de-
signed to hold supply of water in reserve
to be let out when the river is low for the
purpose of maintaining boating stage OF
water during the entire boating season, is
destined, in our opinion. to prove failure.
These dams may aid the Minneapolis
lumbermen to get their logs to the mills.
but as to assisting boats to navigate the
river below the Falls of st. Anthony the
idea is wholly visionary and preposterous.
Their construction will cost hundreds of
thousands of dollars. This amount ex-
pended in the construction of wing dams
to confne the waters of the river, and its
tributaries, to narrow channel between
ST. Paul and La Crosse would give depth
of from four to five feet
from the head Of navigation to st. Louis
and give Us steamboats, of large size
throughout the entire summer season.
The dams now under construction, and
those to be constructed hereafter, will food
thousands of acres of land for which the
government will have to pay large sums of
money, swelling the outlay to enormous
figures. When water is required
the sand bars will be high
and dry, and where the food
gates are opened evaporation and absorp-
ton will consume the water as fast as it
comes from the reservoir, and the volume
in the channel will not be perceptibly in
creased. Time will demonstrate the folly
of these dams, but it will then be too late
to save the squandered millions for the
real and necessary improvement of the
navigation of the river. The value Of this
water highway cannot be computed by our
people. Its existence regulates freights and
saves thousands annually to the shippers
of grain and produce from our state. II
is also of importance to the country al
large that the river be kept open and hence
it must be a source OF deep regret to all
to see money recklesslY wasted which, ii
properly applied, would go far toward Civ
ing US permanent water transportation tc
the Gulf of Mexico.
We are fully aware that this system has
the approval Of the ablest engineers in the
land, but they will be disappointed wher
compelled to confess that their best effort;
have proven abort1ve, SO soon as a fail
trial is given the reservoir system.

a Feac Reasons Whv Honest Republicans

a Feac Reasons WhV Honest Republicans
WiI Support Bierntasan for Governor.
To the Editor of the Globe.
First. The same reason that induced
Massachusetts to become Democratic,
after being Republican under such staunch
Republicans as VIM. Lloyd Garrison, Wen
dell Philips and Charles Sumner. Ben
himself was good enough Republican,
from the tins he ruled New Orleans. But
he was the Moses that led his party over
to honesty and reform under the Demo
cratic banner.
Second. The same reason that
that induced the honest men of New York
to eject Cleveland by nearly 100000 ma
jority. Democrats had no such votes.
Republicans elected this man Democratic
governor of New York. Democrats have
not votes to elect Biermann, but the revo-
luton commenced in the east is coming to
the west, and the rings and rascals are
everywhere to be turned out. Any party
holding pewer twenty-five years becomes
corrupt, and have to be turned out. A
change is healthy aud we must have it.
Third. The same reason that elected
Hoadley. Hoadley was always Republi-
can, but couldn't stand it any longer.
Like Greeley, and Sumner, and George W.
Julian, and Gen. Palmer, of Illinois, and
hundreds of other prominent Republicans
all ever the country, Hoadley left the Re-
publicans, and now leads the honest indie
pendent votes Of his party into the Demo
cratic fold.
These reasons ere such as will commend
themselves to all honest men, and inde-
pendent voters not sold body and soul to
party, and slaves afraid to think and act
for themselves. These reasons are thequiet
forces which are. at work all over our
land to rid the country of a party whose
fruits are star route plunderings and cor
ruption and thieving, under the manage
ment Of the hundred thousand Office hold
ers who have become simply grand ma
tional ring, to play into each others hands
and plumber the people. These
are the views of an

ST.. PAUL, Oct. 8, 1883,
To the Officers and members of the various
organizations of this state:
Gentlemen: The delegates of the National
Philadelphia convention-the greatest represen-
tative gathering of the children of Ireland ever
held in America-have met and outlined the
work to be done by the Irish people of this
country. That work is to unite all the elements
of the Irish race, in order the
better to advance the common cause in Ireland
The duty of the Irish-American societies now is
to establish and t. perfect state league organize
tons, in order to supplement the work of the
national organization. The signers Of the call,
therefore at the request of the state executive
met in conference, and, after mature delibera
tions, decided to call state convention, which
should embrace delegates from all the national.
hibernian, benevolent, temperance, patriotic,
literary and social Irish-American societies
of this state. Section XI of the by
laws of the National league organization pro-
vides that all OF these different societies can
while continuing their own official work, also
affiliate themselves as local branches of the Ma
tional league, and are entitled, at the request Of
ten members, to charter.
This convention is called for 10 a. m Thurs
day, Nov. Is, 1888, at the city of Minneapolis,
and will remain in session until its work is &C
complished. The basis of representation is one
delegate for the society itself, one additional
delegate, also, for its fractional majority
part of fifty. A society, for instance, with
seventy-six members, would be entitled to three
delegates. The credentials are to be signed by
the president and recording secretary of each
society, and presented at the door of Hibernian
(110 Wash ave. s. Hall, the, morning of the
convention.
In obediance to the staesmanlike policy laid
down by the Philadelphia convention, of unit
ing together all the forces and elements of the
Irish race in this country, we send you this call
to united convention of all our organizations
in the state. We trust that you will aid us in
this hour of Ireland's need, by choosing dele
gates to the convention.
