what Is Eezng Dcce.

Messrs. Stowe, Ware and Street, of
the West End, were IN Madison last
week to look after our local legislation
/ especially the city charter matter. In
letter to his paper, the Inter Ocean,
Mr.. Street tells US what is being done
as follows:
Messrs. Stowe, Ware and myself held
star-chamber meeting last evening
on the general bill for the incocpora
/ ton of cities As nearly as could be
+ ascertained by careful canvass of the
4 members of the House who were liable
( TO be interested in the matter, the gen
( eral bill could not become a law much
before the first of April, if it shall
+ even succeed in being the case, and an
election to decide for Incorporation be
! ing necessary before Superior could
/ hold an election for city officers, it be-
came painfully apparent that we
should have no city government before
the middle of summer, prospect not
at all encouraging to city which
looks forward TO q good many imprCv-
ements this year We therefore pro-
cured the promise of Senator Tay Tor
that he would introduce a special char
ter bill if prepared for him We then
put in a day and a night comparing
the Ashland special charter with the
general bill, with the result Of finding
them substantially alike but in many
small details very different. We al
tered somewhat the provisions of each
in regard to the police court, made
some officials elective which in the gen
eral bill are appointiye, added to the
last a city statistician at salary to be
determined by the council and divided
the wards as had been agreed upon by
the Joint committees Of the two ends
of the town. This morning Senator
Taylor introduced the BILL and it was
referred to the committee on c0rpor-
ati0ns. 1t VIII probably be printed by
Monday afternoon, and unless captious
fault is found with it, viii i'll all pro
liability be put upon its passenger in
the Senate. 1t is in all important re-
spects almost identical with the gen
eral charter, and contains all amend
ments suggested by the committee
that was down here two weeks ago.
If passed, at there is every reason to
hope it viii, Senator Taylor having
the disposition of the same practically
in his own hands. and expression de
sire to aid Superior in any way possible
we shall not be compelled to suffer
much longer under a village govern
ment.
Mr.. Meade is very close mouthed
about that bill to repeal the old court
house law, and the probability is that
nobody Will ever know the secret
source from which it sprung While it
was probably just enough, it was clear
ly unconstitutional and was illtimed
and unfortunate, stirring up suspicious
of foul-plly that should not have been
generated.
\ very large lobby is here on both
sides of the Taylor railroad bill, but
the railroad folks appear to outnum-
Der the others, and to be much more
influential

Colonel John A. Danks in tho chair.
The Committee on Transportation report

to use the sleeping cars instead of hotels.

forth the record of Major Joseph f. Dennis
ton and reasons why he should be elected

HOLDING The LINE.
The CItIzsus' Making six Trips Per Day
on nm Extra Road.

The CItIzsns Making six Trips Per Day
on m Extra Road.
The Citizens Traction cable line has an
extra line running from the cemetery along
smallman and Liberty streets TO the Union
depot The line has been idle since the
cable road came into existence on the But
Ter street route. About q month ago the
traction company was notified By the state
officials that il they desired to hold their
charter for the right of way on the route,
they must continue to travel on il accord
ing to the requirements embodied in the
charter.
The charter enforces the company 10
make six trips each day on the line. This
is the limitation, and if they fail to adhere
to this rule the charter will be forfeited
and the State may force them to tear me
track up, and put the roads in the original
shape.
The officials Of the traction road held
consultation, and determined that the
wisest course to adopt would be TO run
single car, and keep other companies from
building q new road, or laying an opposi-
ton cable to their own. The result is a
horse car is now making the six trips day.
How long the traction company intend 70
pursue this policy could not be aseertained.
Since the horse car has been in operation
very few travellers have patronized it.
People whO are travelling to or from the city
prefer the speedier transit By the cable
system. The STATE law which compels the
company to operate the road is constant
expense to the traction road, and will in
some little way affect their yearly diVi-
dends.

and JollIty.
A number Of the most prominent veterans
of Pittsburg and vicinity last night gave
banquet at the Hotel Duquesne TO Mr.. J.
R. Harrah, recently appointed United
States Marshal for the Western district of
Pennsylvania. The table was set in the
shape Of three sides Of square in the larger
dining room upstairs. It was elegantly
decorated with green plants and eolored
lights. The gentlemen sat down to dinner
at 9 o'clock. The following were present:
]. R. Harrah, Of Beaver; Chill W. Hazard,
Monongahela City; Judge John ]. Wickham,
Beaver: Captain A. j. Welsh, Sheriff of Beaver
county, Alfred Moore, Of SewickIey; General
g. II. Miller, of Philadelphia; Colonel John

The bill of fare was a choice one and we'll
served, but it was not long. At 10 o'clock,
on motion Of Colonel Reed, Judge J. w.
Over was elected chairman. In speaking
OF the county where Mr.. Harrah lives, the
Judge said: II believe it has the reputa-
tion Of producing more statesmen to the
square inch than any county in the United
States
On motion Of W. F. Speer, General A. L.
Pearson was elected toast master. The fol-
lowing toasts were spoken to: "0ur Guest"
Colonel Chill W. Hazard; response by Mr..
Harrah; ''The American Citizen as Sol
die" Judge Wickham; "The American
Soldier as Citizen" Prof. Rohrbacker;
''The Soldier in Politics" Charles F. Nc
kenna; THE Artillery" Captain j. A.
Read; The Cavalry" General Miller;
THE Infantry" Judge Slagle; "The La
dies, Daniel Ashworth.
The toasts were full of humor, and, with
one exception, were impromptu. Colonel
Hazard paid pretty eulogy to the Scotch
Irish pioneers of Western Pennylvania and
to one of the number, William Harrah.
The latter, he said, was sturdy Whig, and
named his son after the Wing candidate for
Governor, Joseph Ritenour. Mr.. Harrah
made very brief and pretty response. Prof.
Rohrbacker paid attribute to the German
settlers in Pennsylvania. The othez ad-
dresses were short and full of bright ss lies.
The entire evening was spent in VERY
happy manner.

THE RIVER COAL SYNDICATE.
Three Operators Have Extended the Options
Until July.

Until July. -
The conference between certain Of the
river operators and Captain w. j. Shinn,
which was referred to in The DISPATCH
as likely to bear fruit, has at any rate
given forth blossoms of more or less prom
Use. The object of the meeting, as already
stated. was to discuss proposition on the
part of Mr.. Shinn to extend the
options which will expire the LIST of
January to later period. That he is meet
ing with success was ascertained yesterday
from the fact that Joseph Walton & Co., s.
s. Crump & Co., and Thomas Fawcett &
Co. have each signed an agreement to ex-
tend the options on their properties to the
first of July. No further stipulations or
conditions have been added to the contracts,
which remain as originally agreed upon,
excepting that the amount of consideration
paid for carrying over the option in each
case is 81.
From what was learned it seems that
about one-half the operators are indisposed
to have anything more to do with the syndi-
cate, while others of them are considering
their position. If the old river rule that
whatever Walton & Co. does goes, Mr..
Shinn Will have to congratulate himself on
getting an extension of time for his New
York friends in which to look about them.
