STEUBENyILLE, June 6-The union depot
question is again being sgitsted in this city,
and gentleman who is pretty thick with
railroad officials gives it as his opinion that
before long all passenger trains running
into this city will come into one depot. Sew
eral years ago the report went out that the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, who
operate both the Pan Handle aud
Cleveland and Pittsburg roads, would 80
arrange that trains coming East on the c. &
p. road should run over the Pan Handle
track from Mingo, and that trains coming
West an the same road should switch on
the Pan Handle track at the upper end OF
the city near the blast furnace, 80 that all
passengers should be landed at the Pan
Handle depot. A large station, something
on the plan of the Union depot in Pitts
burg, was to be constructed, and in
stead of passengers on the c. u ?.
road being compelled to walk
to the river depot to catch their trains they
could avoid big walk and 90 to q station
situated nearer the centre OF the business
portion of the city. His plan was never Car
ried out but now as the talk OF doing some-
thing of the kind has been revived, some
people think the railroad company is probs-
bly, in earnest about it. There are others
who laugh at the idea of the railroad doing
anything so clever for Steubenyile, and
say emphaticslly they don't believe it. There
is one thing certain the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company have no great amount Of
love for this city, and the city can't expect
much from that corporation.
Democratic candidates for various Offices
within the gift of the Federal administra-
tion have already commenced to bob up
serenely" and the fur will soon begin to fly.
The postoihce is the great prize, although
the Internal Revenue Collectorship is
pretty good paying office. The four year
term of Postmaster ONeal doesn't expire
until next February or March, and Hs he is
rot an offensive partisan" and has made
q pretty good P. NJ, the probabilities are
that be will serve his term out. The as
pirants for Mr. O'Ncals shoes are ex
Councilman George Moore, Councilman o.
Brashear and Joun w. Trainer. Each 40
pliCant has PETITIONS in circulation and each
one viii do all he can TO get the place.
Fer he Collectorsbip three candidates
have thus far come TO the front in the per
ns of William Clark, James W. Erwin and
Peter Perrine 1t is generally considered
however, that Perrines candidacy will not
amount to much and that tine fight will be
Veteran Clark and Erwiu. with the chances
decidedly in favor of the former AS Col
l,ctor Myers term expires in month Or
two the Collectorship contest will bs the
OF e most looked after at present.
