Respectfully,

( bands of bunting have been arranged
from the ground up to the fourth story,
and star-shaped emblems, bearing the
names of the Northern states, fill in all
the remaining space that it is desirable
to occupy. The chamber of commerce
building and the Mitchell block have
been ornamented with bunting of differ
ent colors and designs, which run in a
sort of fancy band around the buildings
at each story. Other parts of the city
are not one whit behind. Michigan
street, from Broadway to East Water, is
one mass of decoration.
The gas-pipe arches which have been
erected on both sides of Wisconsin
street, between Broadway and East
Water street, are magnificent. They
run along the entire front of the block,
being put up close to the sidewalk, and
are adorned with many scores of red,
white and blue globes. Not few of the
decorations are very expensive and
elaborate, in several cases as much as
s., 900 having been expended in draping
and adjoining a single edifice.
THE VETERANS ARE ARRIVING.
Most of the state department and the
large bulk of the posts have arrived.

signs Of Rapid Development OF the Hillside
Interests Across the River.
The assurance that new incline plane is
to be added to the means Of communication
between the lower Southside and Allen
town and Knoxville, as indicated by the
presentation of right Of way ordinances in
Councils on Monday, gave pretty general
satisfaction in that quarter Of the Southside
yesterday. A reporter, looking into the
matter, heard good deal of praise for the
the Pittsburg Incline's project, particularly
the projected arrangements for carrying
freight. The idea of competition and of
better facilities strikes favorably most Of
the Southsiders, who think their section the
equal of any in the corporate limits or in
the vicinity if properly developed.
"There is some opposition" said one busi-
ness man in the neighborhood Of Twelfth
street, "trom stockholders in the existing
incline; but that is probably mistake for
this reason: The faster the hill portion of
the Southside is developed the more busi-
ness will be done by all the incline enter
prises. Every new facility helps to build up
that section, and every new means of trans
portation should therefore be welcomed
rather than antagonized even by the exist
ing corporation"

Squirrel Hill Railroad Projectors Unsuc.
ga cessfnI Yesterday.
The meeting of people interested in the
Squirrel Hill Electric Railway, at the
Chamber of Commerce, yesterday, was far
from being conclusive, and another one is to
be held at the Colfax schoolhouse, Twenty
second ward, on Monday. Owing to the
sickness of President George w. Morris,
Thomas Wightman, Treasurer, was elected
to fill the chair. The prime object was to
increase the present subscription of $28, 900
to 100000. Secretary F. G. Kay read the
report. The specifications and plans have
been furnished to bidders and bids have
been received from enough of responsible
parties to verify the estimates of the en-
gineer. The estimates for the grading and
roadway complete, sos, 1000; the electric
work, wiring poles motors. dynamos, cars,
engines, boilers and power house, S37, 900;
extras, $4,000 making a total estimated
cost of the road $4,000 OF this amount
only S2S, 900 had been subscribed for previ-
Gus to yesterday.
Mr.. Wightman was authorized to say
that, if necessary, one gentleman would
multiply his subscription, and he agreed to
do the same thing rather than let the scheme
1all. LII was Iurtner suggested that the
more prominent ones who were financially
able do this, and several heartily agreed to
triple their original donations.
J. NJ. Hoch, the tobacconist, said that he
did not think it right for a certain few to
build street railway for people to ride on
with their families who would not con-
tribute any support. Let the property
owners in that district come forth and show
hand.
Mr.. Wightman said if the company would
create marketable bonds he thought the
HomewOod Cemetery Company would pur-
chase So, 900 worth of them.
j. B. Phillips offered to the new company
five acres of land if the road runs through
his property, which is good real estate, to
be taken out in stock at the rate of 81, 900
per acre.
Alexander Murdoch suggested that every
detail should be perfected before beginning
in order to avoid any lawsuits arising for
trespass, etc.
james Brown, of Howe, Brown & Co.,
gently ''rolsied" the dilatory ones who
showed no disposition 10 pull their coats of
encouragement off and work, and said he
saw no indication of the project being COM
pleted by the meetings result. He there
upon moved they adjourn to meet in Colfax
schoolhouse next Monday at 7:30 P. NJ.
The road as proposed is to extend from the
corner Of Forbes to Boquet street, to the
Colfax schoolhouse, and perhaps to the
Homewood and German Lutheran Gene
teries-hitherto hard for public access.

VIII start Newspaper-How He VIII
Conduct it--A Busy Life.
!, Commodore w. J. Kountz, of Allegheny,
has Just come out ahead on a land specula-
ton in the upper oil fields. When asked
about it by DISPATCH reporter yesterday
he said:
"a company Of us purchased this farm in
Venango county near Franklin in 1865, but
never developed it until within the, past
four years. 1t originally cost $4,000 and
contained 100 acres. We sold it for $40, 900.
and at no time since the first well was put
down did the investment realize less than
10 per cent. The oil was a Iubricating
fluid, and commanded So go per bar
rel at the we'll. As for the exciting
scenes so voluminously written about the
early days of oil, they are founded chiefly
upon fiction and emanated from the brains
of sensational scribes who are now termed
boomers The land just have disposed
of laid idle for years and was sold twice
for taxes, being redeemed by myself each
time. conceived the idea Of drilling for
oil four or five years ago, and with much
qratlQcaJlOn Qlu we see lhOuntZ N o. come
in with production of $50 barrels per
month. This does not seem great guam
,tity of oil considering the holes Of 100 bar
rels per hour capacity that have been
struck. But the quality was to be consid-
cred in this case. As said, there is no finer
lubricating or machine oil produced. There
are nine wells down on the Kountz farm, all
producing. am practically out of the oil
business now, but still own some interests
up near Warren. I don't care to dispose of
this petroleum, the price of oil is so low. =
Although my venture in the newspaper
business was a failure inancially-costing
me 500, ,0O0-I will go into journalism again
The cause of my misfortune in that line was
my other business. steamboats,, oil and street
railways preventing me from giving it my
personal attention. My idea of estab-
fishing prosperous paper is that you must
invest heavily at the start and boom it from
the word 'go.' I see no reason why Alle-
gheny City, growing as she is. should not
support daily paper, and if 1 live my in

Two Men Take a Tumble in Allegheny and
One Is Badly Hurt.
A serious accident and remarkable escape
from death or severe injury occurred on
Spring Hill, Allegheny, yesterday after
noon.
There is board walk along Item street and
a railing to prevent pedestrians from falling
over the embankment. Yesterday James
Schoepke started out for walk with his
child and met Henry Buhrer. They stopped
to talk and leaned against the railing.
Schoepke's child was playing with some
children at the time, when the railing gave
way and both men fell over the embank-
ment.
Buhrer caught on the limb of tree, and
held on until some men, who were working
in the neighborhood, arrived with rope
and drew him up uniniured.
His companion fell to the bottom and was
badly hurt. He was taken to his home, on
Item street, and DR.. Schenkel was called and
dressed his injuries. He is not seriously
hurt, but will be confined to his home for
several days.

REMARKABLE PLANS.
AlI-Day Prayer and Bell -Ringing-The w.
@. T. .. Will Make an Exhibit-Wagon
Londs of Drunkards' Children.

The County W. c. 7. q. held a special
meeting in the Third u P. Church yester-
day afternoon, to hear the reports of the
various workers, in the interest of the Cons
tltutional amendment. The cities have been
districted, and the women have been distri-
buting literature twice week.
Miss Gemmel offered suggestion that
all-day prayer meetings be held in churches
on June is; that the church bells be rung,
and that the women put in full day work
ing among the voters.
This created a good deal of discussion,
some of the women taking the ground that
the prayer meetings ought to be done away
with on that day, and that greater work
should be done among the men at the polls.
Some wanted large union prayer meetings
on Monday night, and others thought they
should be held continuously on Tuesday.
1t was finally settled TO have the meet
ings on Tuesday from A. M. to P. M.
Church bells will be rung during the day,
and wagons filled with children taken from
families made destitute by the liquor traffic,
will be driven around past the polls during
the day to show to the voters what effect in
temperance has on humanity.
The women will spare no pains to show
up the effects in every way possible, and
some pretty hard work will be done in the
last three weeks of the campaign.

THE Augusta Victoria, of the Hamburg
American line, in her recent trip across the
Atlantic has made new record, and proved
herself a regular greyhound of the ocean.
This fast steamer has broken the record
for first trips and beaten at last the record
of the America, which has stood so long as
the fastest first trip.
The Augusta Victoria accomplished the
trip from Southampton to Sandy Hook in
days, 2 hours and 80 minutes. This is equal
to days, hours aud 80 minutes from the
Fastnet, show that she is one of the fastest
steamers afoat. She will do credit to the
New Hamburg American Co. s service, and
Manager Curtis, of New York, and the
agents of the line, Messrs. c. B. Richard &
Co., are justly proud Of the splendid record
of their prodigy.
