IT Is NOW A SURE GO.
The Pittsburg, Cannonsburg and
Wheeling Road Will be Built.
ONE OF THE PROJECTORS TALKS.
Farmers Become Interested and Are Giving
Up the Rights of Way.
THROUGH THE HILLSIDE TO WHEELING

One of the projectors of the railroad which
is to go under or through Mt Washington.
on the Southside, from this city to Wheel
ing, necessitating great tunnel mile
long at the outset, is in town looking after
after some rights of way. In conversation
with q DISPATCH reporter yesterday he
said:
''The railroad is now an assured go, and
Pittsburg will soon have another outlet to
the West. The matter is being kept very
quiet for the present, and the people in the
scheme do not wish to say much about it to
any one.
"We have not much difficulty in securing
rights of way. The road will be mainly
built by Cannonsburg capital, and the peo-
pie Of the town are taking an interest in 1t.
On account of Little Washington having
such boom at present, with her oil wells
and manufactures, there is growing rivalry
between that town and Cannonsburg. The
| people living in and around the latter place
think that if they only had a railroad which
would be an outlet both east and west they
would be getting some of the business which
is now being given to Washington. On
right of way without having to fight very
hard for it.
''The name of the line will be the Pitts
burg, Cannonsburg and Wheeling Railroad,
and will be competitor of the Baltimore
and Ohio Road between Wheeling and
Pittsburg. 1t will be an independent road,
and is mainly being built to open up the oil
territory in that part of Washington
county.
"John Ewing, President of the Cannons-
burg Iron and Steel Company, is at the
head of the company, and all the other
stockholders in the mill are putting money
in the line.
sit is really the Iron and Steel Company
that will build the road. For years they
have had great amount of trouble getting
their product to the markets. They have
had to ship it via the Charters branch
road, and to freight for the West it would
have to be shipped in a roundabout way.
The company got tired of this, and their
handicapped facilities injured their busi-
ness. When they build the new road, stuff
can be sent direct to Wheeling, and will
probably connect there with the Wheeling
and Lake Erie. The road will be of
standard gauge"

THE CAPTURED MURDERER.
George Owens Story of the Killing OF
stephen b. Lee Yesterday Morning
Jealousy Was the Real Cause.


Stephen B. Lee Yesterday Morning
Z Jealousy Was the Real Cnuse.
Charles Allen, the murderer of sBuddy"
Lee, was arrested early yesterday morning
by Inspector McAleese, on Wylie avenue
DR.. j. Guy McCandless held post mortem
examination on the body yesterday. Only
one bullet was found, it having entered the
left arm, passing through and lodging next
the heart. Death was instantaneous. The
Coroner's inquest will take place at 10
this morning. Lees mother telegraphed
the Coroner last night from Washington,
D. c., that she will be here this morning.
Allen was very quiet yesterday aud would
not talk about the affair. On the way to
the station house, just after his arrest, he
told Inspector McAleese that he had shot
Lee because he had acted unfairly with him.
He did not know that Lee was dead but in
speaking of the shooting said that when he
fired the shot "Lee dropped like beef"
One of the men under arrest is George
Owens, better known as 'Longcamp," in
front of whose house the killing occurred.
He is very delicate, having suffered from
esoSAAAAS AOA SOAAC OAhlOs W 40
really the only eyewitness to the
shooting and the police give him
good record for veracity. He told
his story of the affair to Detective Coulson
last night. He said that Allen had been
drinking all day on Saturday and was con-
siderably worked up with jealousy at Lee.
Allen had been rooming with Owens, and
on Saturday morning took the latter's re-
volver. Owens missed the revolver soon
afterward and took it from Allen who re-
marked that he was ''going to show these
coons something" Allen had been seek
ing a quarrel with someone all day, and
Lee went up to May Gardner's place on
Wylie avenue to avoid Allen. Just before
the shooting, Owens says he and Allen
were in the room at 253 Second avenue, and
Allen was sitting on chair with his head
on his hand, doing. Lee came to the door,
from No. 251 and knocked. He was ad-
mitted, and when he came in. spoke to AL
len, telling him that if be ever went around
talking about him as he had done that day,
again, he would make it warm for him.
Allen did not reply, but, when Lee left the
room, followed him, and as Lee stepped to
the pavement fired. He then crossed the
street and started toward Mary Gardner s
when he was arrested.
Owens statements are corroborated by
several of the other colored people who
were in the neighborhood at the time.

A DEMOCRAT RESIGNS.

He VIII Not Bold Good Paying Position
Under n Republican Adminisfration-A
Deep-Dyed Partisan.
Nicholas M. Bell, of st. Louis, Superin-
tendent Of Foreign Mails under the admin
istration of President Cleveland, passed
through the city last evening on his way to
Washington. Mr.. Bell is one of the old
school Democrats who believe in "whoever
wins the fight takes everything in sight"
He was the first Democrat appointed to
Office in Missouri, mis- appointment being
dated April 1. He refuses to hold Office
under Republican administration and has
already sent in his resignation to the Post
master General. 1t will take effect just as
soon as Mr.. Wanamaker finds a man to
take Mr.. Bells place. While at the Union
station Superintendent Bell, who will soon
lose his title, said:
81 have sent in my resignation and am
waiting for the Postmaster General to ap-
point my successor, when L shall turn over
my Office to him. 1 resign simply for the
reason that do not believe that the heads
of departments should be otherwise than Of
the same political belief as the President
and his Cabinet ASH am a Democrat and
our candidate was not reelected, do not
think it right to hold on, and by. standing
in the way hamper the acts of my superiors.
81 think that Mr.. Wanamaker will make
one of the best Postmaster Generals the
country has ever had. He is one of the
shrewdest business men in the United
States, and his new Office will have to be
run the same as any large business estab-
lishment.
ST think that the President and his Cabi-
net will surround themselves with men
fully in accord with their views. This
means that all Democrats must walk the
plank, and it is perfectly right that they
should do So"
Superintendent Bell was accompanied by
Mr.. Pollitt, of ST. Louis, who was going
down to Washington after Bells position.

RAIDING THE sPEAK-EASIEs.
The Police Department Turns into Root On
Unlicensed Houses.

The Police Department Turns into Root Out
Unlicensed Houses.
While the court is busy with the licensed
saloons, the city officials are roofing out the
sly drinking places called "speak-easies.
Two important raids were made yesterday,
one at the Point and the other at Hard
scrabble.
Inspector McAleese on Saturday entered
informations against John Connolly. of the
corner of Penn avenue and Fort street, and
Johanna Conners, of the Hardscrabble dis
trict, above Old avenue, charging them
with selling liquor without license, selling
on Sunday and keeping disorderly houses.
Both have been repeatedly notified to quit,
but paid no attention to the warning.
About 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon
Roger O'Mara, Detectives McTighe and
Fitzgerald, with several officers in citizens
clothes, raided Connelly's place, which was
tured, including the proprietor. They gave
their names at Central station as follows:
Pat King, Martin Derrick, William 0gles-
by, Deacon Crowley, P. Connolly, Edward
Bolton, John Richter, Thomas McGarley,
Mike Mullen and Joseph Foley.
About an hour after this raid was made,
Mrs. Conner's place was visited by the
officers, who arrested John and William
McGraw, Frank Ray, James Hurley,
Henry Grinder and Frank Tiramey, beside
the proprietress. The latter is a widow
and has six children, ranging from 2 to IL
wears of age, and one of the children went
into fit of spasms when its mother was
taken away. The men arrested in her
house were nearly all under % years of
age.
A number of those arrested put up for
feits for their appearance at the hearing this
morning
Mrs. Conners was released on 81 900 bail
about 9 o'clock last night, for hearing be-
fore Magistrate Gripp at this afternoon.
Her children met her at the station house
door, and clung, crying about her, making
quite an affecting scene.

CAN COMPETE WITH CUBA.
Fine Bananas Now Being Raised In the
Phipps COnservatories in Allegheny
Tho FIruf C,rov, pluckad Yeaterdnv


Phipps Conservatories in Allegheny
The First Crop Pluclxed Yesterday.
The first bananas ever raised in this sec
ton ripened and were plucked yesterday in
the Phipps' greenhouses in the Allegheny
parks About three years ago two plants
were put in the old greenhouses but did not
yield anything, as they did not have room
to spread out. When the new conservato-
ries were built it was found that the two
plants had increased to two dozen, which
are now fourishing. Several of them have
punches of bananas on them, and others are
in blossom.
Superintendent of Parks Hamilton was
seen in his Office in the conservatory yester-
day, and in conversation with reporter for
this paper, became very enthusiastic on the
subject of banana growing. He said the
plants in their native soil only grew Is feet,
while those in the greenhouses were crowd
ing the glass, which is % feet high.
"Prof. Thurston, ascientist from the Cor
nell University, visited our greenhouses"
said he, ''and said our plants were magnifi-
cent. 1 have had visitors here from Cuba,
India and other places where bananas are
raised, and they all said they never saw
such fine plants in their own country.
These are the first we have ever raised here
because we did not have the room. 1 be-
lieve our bananas are as good as those
raised on their native soil.
''The banana has been cultivated from
most remote times in tropical climates, and
serves as a staple food for large number
of the human race. There are several
varieties of different havors, but ours are as
good as any. Humboldt says that one acre
of bananas will give as much life sustaining
food as 1873 acres of wheat or A acres of
potatoes. The natives of India live almost
entirely on bananas. They are eaten raw,
or cooked in various ways, and are also
made into liquors."
The conservatories are open on Sunday,
and yesterday were visited by several thou
sand people. They all stopped at the
banana plants and inspected them, express
ing surprise that tropical fruit could be
raised in this State. Several of the plants
have punches on them, but they are not yet
ripe. The bunch that was cut yesterday
contained about 70, most of which were dis
tr1buted among the Councilmen and city
officials who called.
There is fig tree also in the greenhouse
that will bear fruit shortly, and also other
foreign plants. The houses are filed with a
large variety Of flowers and plants.

THEY WANT MORE SALOONS.
The German Workingmen Petition Judge

The German HOrktngmen Petition Judge
White to be More Lenient.
A meeting of German workingmen was
held in Knights of Labor Hall last even
ing, the object being to take action look
ing to the establishment of more saloons
throughout the city. About so persons
were present, and Henry Reuter- was made
Chairman, and Charles Treschel Secretary.
After discussion of the objects of the
meeting a set of resolutions were prepared
for presentation to Judge White, protesting
against the wholesale closing of saloons and
requesting that he be more lenient with
applicants. The resolutions ask for the
granting of licenses to saloons in districts
closely adjacent to mills and workshops,
and argue that they are needed in such
places for the comfort of the German popu-
lation at least.
They also ask that the fact that beer is
sold in buckets be not used against saloon
keeper for the reason that it is better to have
a bucket of beer taken home than for the
man to go to the saloon where he will spend
both time and money to the detriment of his
family. The resolutions will be handed to
the Court TO-DAY.
