The Pullman Palace Car Company, in
order to obtain more perfect knowledge
of the character and fitness of the men it
employs as car conductors than has been
practicable heretofore, and at the same
time to secure adequate surety for the
faithful performance of their duties, with
out requiring a special deposit for such
surety, as heretofore. has decided hereaf-
ter to employ only such persons as may,
by reason of their good character and gem
eral fitness for the position, be able to fur
nish the bonds of the American Surety
Company. The bond which Pullman car
conductor was formerly expected to fur
nish was 800 in cash, deposited with the
company at Chicago.

MARTINS FERRY.

Yesterday your reporter had a chat with
a prominent sheet mill man from the Stand
ard mill, and in the course Of the Conversa
lion he stated that he wished to have a
statement which has been published in all
he Wheeling and Pitts ourgh papers, to the
Eject that the sheet mill men had seeded
from The Amalesms'ion, corrected. He
SAYS that the sheet mill men, so far as he
AS u member OF the lodge, had been able to
hear, have not seeded and will not so long
as the association stands. He also stated
hat il the newspapers would only leave
b, m alone, and not manufacture such
statements out Of unauthorized gossip
'he mill men would be better able
10 get along and would be more apt to come
out right side up at the proper time. He
also stated that the Amalagamation had
done great deal for workmen in general
BY way of showing what organized labor
could do and that if let alone it could do
more than ever before.

On Tuesday night at about II o'clock
rather mysterious affair occurred near
the Standard mill, according to the state
ment of an employee of the above named
works, il was as follows: A horse, at
tached to top buggy, was driven rapidly
up the road and when about opposite the
mill it stopped suddenly, which stop was
followed By the firing Of several shots in
rapid succession, then an earpiercing
scream, evidently by woman. The horse
was then driven on up the road at break
neck gsllop. What vile outrage may
have been perpetrated BY the ones
in the buggy may perhaps never
be found out; but one thing is sure, it
reused considerable conjecture in the minds
of those who heard Of the affair.
The Etna mill company are having an
addition built to their works.

The Terrible Epidemic Fever at Plymouth
Spreading.
WLKSBARRE, Pa, April 29.-Csreful es-
imates based on the statement of the ply
sieisns in Plymouth, all Of whom have been
seen, place the number of patients sufferin ?
from the epidemic at between 800 and 900
Most of the cases are not serious. The epi
demic, however, seems to be Spreading into
neighboring parts OF the county, for mild
cases of q similar disease are reported in
Larkville, Ayondale, Kingstown and several
places in Plymouth township.
The work of clearing up the town is in
active progress and will be completed to-
morrow. Eighteen teams are at work to-
day In different parts of the town with a
large force Of men. Not little consterna-
ton was created by the discovery in the
banks bordering the little stream that runs
through the town Of many csrcasses OF
horses, dogs, sheep and pigs that had been
earels ssly buried in the loose coal dirt. The
bodies were very offensive.
The exact number of deaths since Saturday
morning Is twenty-three. Three more were
reported to-day, but the names of only two
could be learned, Michael Jensey, aged u,
and Michael Seeney, aged 81. -Four funer.
ais we're held today of the victims who had
died on Saturday or Sunday.
A remarkable feature of the epidemic is
the number of young men and women from
II to 25 years OF age, that fall victims.
Fully three-fourths of the deaths have been
of persons between those ages.

The AMALGAMArED
Present Figures That will Create a
Sensation
IN IRON CIRCLES CONNECTED WITH
The Association. Difference Of 1919
inFayor of Western Manu-
facturers.
THE WINDOW GLASS TRADE DULL,

PrrTsDuRe, April 29.-Figures which
will create a sensation in the iron business
were presented to-day in a long statement
made by officers of the Amslgamated As
sociation in answer to demand
of the manufacturers for reduc-
ton of wages. The principal argument
in support Of this demand has been that On
account of the low wages in the east iron
could be procured there for $40 or $l2 per
ton less than here. The figures presented
by the Amalgamated Association are au'
thoritative. They chow that there is really
difference of 1919 in favor of the west
ern manufacturers This result upsets all
previous theories and will be the basis for
the Amalgamated Associations fight.
The window glass trade is reported duller
than for many years. A number OF
factories throughout the country have closed
down, and the manufacturers in this city
say that unless there is an improvement in
The demand others will be forced to suspend
operations. The accumulation Of stocks
which usually does not exceed 1000
boxes at this season, will reach, it is said,
nearly one million boxes.

as well as for the happiness Of their pastor
and the general prosperity Of the church:
After the services were concluded general
hand shaking ensued, such as is only seen
when people feel pleased with themselves

way TO the outposts of Quetto. In the event
OF war both routes would be used by Rus

Msps Of Afghanistan give, to the north of
Hest, a mourtain chain, diguiGed BY the
name Of Paropsmisus mountains. Curl
ous|y enough, Russia, which seems to have
been better informed than her statesmen
pretended, was responsible for the beliefin
the English speaking world that these
mountains were an effectusl barrier to keep
out the Russian army. Itis no longer strange
that such an impression should have been
given by the Russian engineers. While
England has been content with Russits ex-
plapation Of England's security, Russia has
been pushing forward her frontier, and al
though in 1882 it was deliberately declared
that these 'impassable barriers" believed to
be $1,000 to 5000 feet high, were reality
less than 900, the statement was ridiculed
and the English Ministry suddenly awskens
to the belief that what in 1882 appeared to
be a huge joke, is in 1885 huge truth.

ITO speak, therefore, of a montain barrier
protecting Herat from the Russian outposts
is nonsense. 1t is series of downs ira

of any difficulty In one or two instances in
the section Immediately north of Herat. 1t
would be impossible for the Afghans to pro
tect the whole line OF the Paropamisus aud
the closer, therefore, the Russians get to
the downs, the more quickly will they be
able to step across them into the Herat val
ley" Practically the Herat valley is in
their grasp.
The strategicalimportance of Herat is not
alone due to its strength as fortress aud
the opening of the road to India. 1t is sit
uated in country of illimitable resources
The corn and beef supplies that could be
gathered from the Herat valley and the
surrounding country would feed an army OF
100000 men, without recourse to army
stores brought from distance. This is also
one Of the truths that have lately become
apparent to England. 1t is one Of the great
est camping places in the world. There
is no such camping ground anywhere be-
tween the Caspian and Herat, and between
Herat and India. The ablest generals OF
England and Russia have combined in des.
ignaripg the district the key Of India. The
significance OF the recent Russian advance
consists in this-that the Russians have
established themselves inside the very limits
of the Herat district; in other words, they
have violated the integrity Of the Key Of
India"
1t is this violation of the integrity Of
Russia that threatens the British Indian
possessions, and which makes war now al
most inevitable.
