the chief towns that line does. The trunk
line will run north of Pittsburg, with q
branch line to that city, and continue
through Pennsylvania between the main

TO INCREASE THEIR STOCK.
The 0fBces of the Prick Coke Companies
be Moved This Week

The 0mces of the Frick Coke Companies tO
be Moved This Week.
The Secretary of the United Coke Com.
pany of this city has issued notice TO the
stockholders of the company for a special
meeting to be held at the Office of the COM
psny in the Lewis block Friday, January
10. The object of the meeting is to vote for
or against investing the capital stock of the
company. They will probably consolidate
with the Central CoDnellsville Coke Com
pany.
The two companies are now owned by II.
c. Frick and Mcclure g. Co. Before the
sale of the Schoonmaker to the Frick CON-
pany, each one of the three companies named
owned a one. third interest in the Central
and United Companies. When J. NJ.
Sehoonmaker sold out to Frick, the latter
became possessor of two-thirds of the stock
in both companies. The Mcclure Company
would not sell their interest, and some
thing will be done about it at the special
meeting.
The offices of the United and Central
Connellisvlle Company, which are now OH
the sixth floor of the Lewis building, will
be moved about Monday next to the Hussey
building on Fifth avenue, where the head
quarters of all the Frick- concerns will be
located. Mr.. Frick will move his own
offices this week to the new building. The
books, furniture, clerks, etc., of the Sehoon-
maker, Moore and Southwestern Coke Com
panies, which were purchased by Frick, will
also be moved about the same time.

GREEN TO WANAMAKER.
The President of the Western Union Attacks
the Arguments of the Postmaster Gem
eraI-The Practice of Forcing
Out CompetitiOn,

Out OOmpetltl0ns
NEW YORK, November 13.-Dr. Norvin
Green has made public a recent letter to
Postmaster General Wanamaker regarding
the Government telegraph rates. The fol-
lowing is portion of the communication:
The fact that the Mutual Union Telegraph
Company, small organization belonging to
this company, did, for time, meet the Balti-
more and Ohio Telegraph Company in sending
messages short distances, and between very few
points. at 10 cents, is no evidence that no loss
of money was involved. If those companies had
made as you propose, a rate of 10 cents between
all points less than 400 miles distant from each
other, the Baltimore and Ohio Telegraph sys-
TEN would have been sold out by the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company as bad invest
ment long before it was soldi and that rate
would have reduced the earnings of the West
ern Union Company below its actual expenses
in that important department of our business.
Commodore Vanderbilt once met the attack
of a competing line of steamers by establish
ing passenger rate of 10 cents between New
York and Albany. Nobody supposed that 10
cents was a remuneratiVe rate for so long
passage, but the move proved effective, be-
cause it enabled the Commodore to buy the
competing line without paying speculative
price for it. Such course is sometimes en-
tailed by circumstances upon this company.
Competing companies are often formed, not
for business profits, but to force us to buy
them out or to retire from the field. When
such competition occurs, it is transient and
isolated feature of our message business To
seize upon one such feature and, so far as your
Office as an umpire may control. to make that
the basis of a rate to be charged on Govern
ment business seems to us not judicial but
Yindictive.
The further course you suggest of board of
arbitration is within what we have always prof
fered. We have stood ready always to supply
portunity for search into the cost Of telegraph
ic business, and to accept freely his impartial
judgment. If you prefer to delegate that judg-
ment to a board composed as you suggest
leaving the rates for this year to be governed
by that result, we shall be glad to meet it,

Their 6,0OO- Mile Excursion In AZ
Duys-The Results of the Trip

The Hdns American Uelegates COmPiceo
Their 6,OOO.MIiIe Excursion In AZ
Duys-The Results of the Trip
will be Most Important.
WASHINGTON, November 13.-Just 42
days after the morning Of October 8, when
the special train bearing the international
delegates pulled out of the Pennsylvania
Railroad station in Washington, the same
train, headed by the locomotive which had
drawn it nearly 5000 miles, rolled triumph
antly into the Capital City and drew up at
the station, having successfully completed
the most interesting and, from railroad
standpoint, the most extensive trip ever un-
dertaken by one train.
How the excursion has resulted In further
ing the important objects which the Ameri-
can conference was called to attain, has been
eloquently told by the delegates themselves
throughout the medium of the newspapers.
But it might be proper to add upon the
authority of one of the United States dele
gates, who hes accompanied the party over
several of its thousands of miles of travel,
that the effect upon our own people has been
most beneficial, and that as consequence
of their association and exchange of ideas
with the delegates, many of The merchants
and business men in the different towns and
cities where tine tourists have been enter
tanned and instructed, have had their atten-
ton seriously directed to the vast CONNER
cial possibilities of the nations lying south
of the United States, while the people gen.
orally are awakened to the fact that we
should feel the deepest interest in the well
fare and prosperity Of the sister Republics.
1t was planned that instead of taking the
more direct southern route from Philadel-
phia to Washington, the train should run
down by way of Harrisburg, so that the
delegates might see the beautiful Susque-
hanna and the rich farming lands of that
part of Pennsylvania. This plan was fol-
lowed, but unfortunately the country was
not seen at its best, as the lowering skies
and the heavy, driving rains confined the
landscape within narrow bounds.

had rugged up an old feed cutter and placed
it in an abandoned building. Natural gas
was brought through a pipe from a we'll
near by, the pipe being placed so that the
escaping gas would strike fan wheel and
put the cutter in motion.
-Four boys named Donly, Fox, South and
Burris visited the building in the evening
to see how the thing worked. The gas was
turned on, and one of the boys, whose curiosity
was not satisfied, struck match to closer in
spect the new invention. In an instant there
was a flash and explosion. The feed cutter
was blown to pieces and the building fired;
The flames spread so quickly that the boys had
to make their way through the fire TO escape.
They were all terribly burned about their
heads and faces, but it is thought none were
fatally injured.

NEWARK, O., November IA shocking
casualty occurred at Ontario, this county, to-
day. Clarence Rodgers. aged years, was
carrying a gun to the house when his 4-year-old
sister toddled out to meet him, In playful
mood he raised the gun and fired, the charge
tearing off the left side of her face and killing
her. The tragedy was inexcusable and has
wrecked the fathers mind.
A dispatch from Huntington, W. Va, says:
While David Walker was attempting to unload
a revolver last night a cartridge exploded,
striking him in the breast near the heart, max
ing very serious wound.
A telegram from Point Pleasant, w. Va,
saws: While examining gun this afternoon
after returning from hunting expedition,
Oscar Lee young man aged about IL years,
accidentally shot himself through the head.
Death was instantaneous. How the weapon
was discharged is unknown.
