THAT TRACTION TROUBLE.
Futile Efforts of the Compli anants to Hold
a Union Meeting.

ObhoH HACChhhSs
The reported dissatisfaction among the
extra conductors and gripmen on the Citi-
ziens' Traction line is still talked Of 1t
was learned yesterday, from reliable
source, that the extra men had tried to call
a meeting Monday,as previously announced
in THE DISPATCH, but that the Master
Workman refused to have anything to do
with their grievances, telling them they
must abide by the agreement. What will
be the outcome is matter of conjecture.
Mr.. Sweitzer, who. it was stated by con-
ductor, was the first to learn of the rate of
wages Sunday, yesterday denied the allega-
tiUn, stating that he did not have anything
to do with spreading the news.
Mr.. William Vance, Chairman of the
Road Committee of Local Assembly No.
2126, K. of L. (the Citizens Traction Com
pany employees branch), stated to DIS
PATCH reporter yesterday that the company
sent for the Road Committee and told them
that they proposed to run II hours with two
sets of men, the swing men to take the reg
ular mems places when they stepped off the
cars and to be paid by the trip, pro rata.
AT the meeting of the men it was discussed
for three hours. and the men finally accepted
the proposition and instructed the committee
to wait on the officers of the company and
eff they are dissatisfied" " says Mr.. Vance,
"they nave nobody but themselves to blame,
and will have to abide by the decision. 1t
they want to kick out of the traces, the as
sembly has nothing to do with it,

BANKRUPTCY AND GROCERS.
A Local Lawyer Thinks the Lowell Bill
Should be Amended-Why a Good Credit
Law IL Needed-Dead Beats.

Should be Amended-Why Good Credit
Law Is Needed-Dead Beats.
As there seems to be such a generally
spread disposition to have another bankrupt
law enacted, some people are disposed to
ask why the Lowell bill was not accepted.
It appears that it was wrecked on one
clause. 1t provided that if you allowed
even your grocery bill to run few days be-
yond a specified time you would be ad-
Judged as having committed an act on
which you might be declared bankrupt
When this provision struck the attention of
Senator George, of Mississippi, he jumped
up and tore the bill to tatters, declaring
that it would bankrupt almost everybody in
his State.
As the Chamber Of Commerce of this city
has indorsed the Lowell bill it is suggested
by N. W. Shafer, ESQ.,, that its members
take the further trouble to have this feature
eliminated if they wish to see the bill be-
come law. 1t is all well enough TO pro-
vide that man shall not allow commercial
paper to run unpaid over IA days; but when
it comes to paying grocery bills, that is an
Juliet mdLIelj ds mduv WelI-bO-uU PeVPAe
often find themselves unable to cash current
bills at given time, and wide field would
be opened to people msliciously inclined.
1t is now considered indispensable to the
proper conduct of business that some general
bankrupt law be passed, as it is getting
hazardous to do business with people at
distance whose character you do not know,
a rascal being often able to stand we'll in the
commercial agency lists while he is plan
ming to beat his creditors, and it is impoS-
sible to make him suffer for his rascality.
1t is thought by some that, to force the
cash system of doing business, would pro-
duce widespread ruin, and that it can never
be reached. 1t certainly cannot be while so
many people Of limited means are encour-
aged to go into trade.

THE EXPOSITION BOOM
Total Amount Received Nearly 100000

BuIidings-Busipess Men to tbe Front

Total Amount Received Nearly S2OO,O0O-
Almost Enough to Complete the Main
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Men to the Front.
The fact that the Exposition affairs have
been somewhat quiet of late, does not snow
inactivity by any means.
On the contrary, the live members of the
board, with their canvassers, are meeting
with greater success every day, as the bust.
ness people are gradually learning that the
superb buildings are reaching out toward
the sky at an amazing rate, and, to quote a
famous Frenchman, as nothing succeeds
like success, the more assured is this sue
cess, the faster do the subscriptions come in.
The total amount received is rapidly roll
ing up toward the round $780, 900 (the exact
amount is S192, ,OOO), and at the present rate
but few more weeks will complete the
necessary amount still needed for the finish
ing of the main buildings, some $1,000
This amount is needed at once in order to
complete the main buildings as rapidly as
possible, and the board politely requests
that all attention be given to Messrs. Gill
and Lupton when they call, as they surely
will, with their subscription books open
for all.
The total amount collected last week was
was 50, 200, showing the boom to be still on.
The roll of honor reads as follows: Life
managers, S1OO each-John S. Ferguson,
George n. Monroe, Henry Mcknight,
Singer, Nin'ck & Co. Linn, second sub
scription; St.r & Silverman, William S.

also received: Bailey. Farrell & Co., $500,
making 81, 900 from this firm, and J. S. and

Machine Co. sent check for SIP 80, being
the sum raised by that firm and their en-
ployes.

A NEW MASONIC HALL
Will be Erected in the East End and Will
Cost About $4,000.

Will be Erected in the East End and Will
Cost About $4,000.
The Masons of the East End have about
bought lot on Collins avenue for the pur-
pose of erecting Masonic Hall on the site.
Subscription lists are now making the
rounds, and the money for the lot has already
been raised.
There are two lodges and one chapter in
the East End, having membership of 800,
and they have not place to give them the
necessary accommodations. The two lodges
are the Hailman and the Duquesne, besides
the Pittsburg chapter.
A prominent member of the fraternity
said yesterday, while speaking of the pro-
ject:
We expect TO make our hall one of the finest
structures in the East End The lot which we
are going to buy is in very excellent location,
near Penn avenue. On next Saturday joint
meeting will probably be held, and the plans
for the building will come under discussion. 1t
is our wish 20 spend about $4,000 ol the hall
alone. The money is to be raised by the estab-
lishment of a hall association, each member of
the lodges taking shares in it.
The building will accommodate the two
lodges, the chapter and a commandery. The
latter is not yet formed, but we are very strong
and in excellent financial condition. There
will be no difficulty in raising the money for
the purpose.

Eight Men, Supposed to be Cavanaagh
Voters, Run in by Captain Silvus.
During the afternoon there were eight
men arrested in the First ward. Most of
them were supporters of Cayanaugh, and
the latter claimed the men were run in to
prevent them from voting. One of them
was taken to the Twelfth ward station
house instead of the Central, but no reason
given by the police officials.
All OF them were released upon bonds
given by George Free and Joseph Fleming,
with the exception of Charles Hostetter and
John Smith, who were still behind the bars
at midnight. The names of the other men
were Ellie McCray (colored), John King,
John O'Neal, Andrew Lyden. Michael Cor
nelius and William Carroll. Carroll was
charged with illegal voting, Smith with
carrying concealed weapons, and the others
were arrested for diso-derly conduct. Cap
tain Silvus stated last night that they ex-
pected the police department would be
blamed for antagonizing Cavanaugh by the
arrests, but there was no sentiment in the
matter. The men had violated the law bv
creating disorder and he had ordered their
arrest

excitement on the top floor and the state OF
affairs in the Mayors Office. That gentle
man sat almost alone on the sofa
in his office; and he said little or nothing.
To a man who had been upstairs for half an
hour, an entrance 10 the Mayors office
seemed like going from wedding to a
funeral, and Ajax Jones' countenance pre-
sented very excellent resemblance to that
of the usual pail bearer.
The only man in the Mayors wake who

When the Mayor was asked what he had
to say about the election, he refused 10 be
interviewed. But he made several peril
nent remarks, which 60 to show what he
thought about the matter.
-''The entire Department OF Public Safety
has been electioneering today" he said.
''There are "a officials living in the Sixth
ward alone, and they have hustled to-day
for all that was in them. That is where we
lost McMichael.
HE CONCEDED DEFEAT.
even in the Seventh ward they were so
strong to-day that at noon 1 had my doubts
whether joel Marshall, the Mayors brother
in-law, would be elected, and now / am
ready to conoede his defeat. They tried
everything and did everything to elect their
man."
Another man in the Mayors Office stated
that O'Brien had been arrested in the First
ward, simply because he was a Cavanaugh
man. But when this gentleman was re-
quested to give his name as authority for
what be said, he refused to do so.
Itwas also said in the Mayors Office that
John Aiken had been arrested at the Sew
enth ward polls for no reason whatever.
Chief Brown, in speaking of the election,
said:
''Of course the results coming in from the
different wards are so satisfactory that it is
hardly necessary for me to say anything.
Regarding the general quietness of the
election day, will say that the police had
especial orders to squelch any disorder,
wherever it should be. 1 ordered a number
of special men into the First and the Sew
enth wards simply because supposed that,
inasmuch as the contests would be fercest
there, greater body OF men would be re-
quired to keep them in order"
