by stating the facts. Chief among
the changes pending is the re-
moval Of the main offices of the
company back to San Bernardino. Mr..
Marvel has been fully informed Of the
effect such q change would have on his
roads; and the reasons urged against
such q movement had 80 much weight
with him that it is almost certain he
would not have moved in that direction
if he could control the affairs of the
roads Of which he is the nominal head,
but Of which he seems to be little more
than figurehead. 1t is Mr.. McGoun,
Of New York, who really dictates the
policy of the Santa Fe as at present
managed Mr.. McGoun seems not to be a
railroad man. He is the agent for Kidder,
Peabody & Co., banking firm of Boston,
which controls the Santa Fe stock. 1t is
the fixed policy of McGoun to do every
thing directly opposite to what was done
by Smith and Strong. That seems to be
all the logic in the new management. 1t
/! is not an unnatural one, perhaps, for
bankers to make who undertake to run a
railroad or do any other business OF
whose principles they are totally
ignorant. But, it being settled that all
the Smith-Strong policy is to be reversed,
and as, under that policy, the general
Offices were removed from San Bernar-
dino to Los Angeles, why, therefore,
they must be moved back again. There
is no doubt the Santa Fe system is in a
bad way. In 1888 the stock sold
lup to 991a, but later on fell to 53L. 1t
has gone steadily down for more than a
year, with very little in the way of an
eddy in the current. The highest point
touched in 1889 has been 5S, and if we re-
member rightly it has sold down as low
as 80. Since the change hope for
something better has raised the stock
few points. Tuesday it was 351s, and
yesterday it was up to SO. This upward
tendency is not based on any absolute
improvement in the affairs of the road,
but simply to that spirit of hopefulness
naturally begotten of the change. II

policy so blind as to be guided by no bet.
ter reason then to undo all their prede-
cessors did there will be more
disastrous chapter soon to be written in
the history of the road, and the stock
will 60 lower than it has gone yet. 1t is
simply madness, and nothing else, to
remove the general offices of the COM
pany from this city. The result will be
to forfeit the good will the company has
here, and with that all the business of
the city. If the rumors afloat that Jay
Gould has put good deal of money into
Santa Fe stock, at the low figures recently
current, and that now he wishes to
wreck the concern in order to buy it in
for a song, were certainly true, the
present policy in many respects would
be exactly the thing to look for. To re-
move the Offices from Los Angeles, and
to cashier the officials so justly popular
in this section, is q wrecking policy.

chance of success. The convention decid.
ed by vote Of 159 to 95 to put ticket in

dprsing the administration of President
Harrison and the platform of the Repub-

JESSE JAMES BUSINESS.
A Santa Fe Express Train Robbed
I'm Texas.

FoRT WORTH, Texas, September 25.--
Last night as the northbound Santa Fe
train was pulling out of Crowley, ten
miles south of this city, three men
boarded the train and two others jumped
on the locomotive. The two on the
engine put pistol to the head of the
engineer and fireman, and when two
miles from Crowley ordered them to stop.
The robbers then cut the engine, baggage
and express cars from the rest Of the
train. and ordered the engineer to pull
half mile further. The express mes
senger was then compelled to show the
robbers the money. They took two bags,
said to contain 81, 900 each, overlooking
three or four other packages. The train
reached here at midnight. A posse of
twenty men started in pursuit of the rob-
bers, who had taken westerly course.
RUBE BURROWS GANG.
MOBILE, Ala, September 25.-The
leader Of the train robbers is believed to
be Rube Burrows, the noted desperate,
the man whom the search for created 80
much excitement in the northern part of
the State few months ago. At that
time it was believed that he was organ
izing to hold up some train. and the Mo-
bile and Ohio company, anticipating an
attack, armed all its train hands with
Winchester rifles. This was made pub
lie. and was doubtless what the roDber
referred to this morning, as he
said, during the progress of robbing the
mail car: "The Mobile and Ohio dared
me to hold up train, and l wanted to
show them could do it,"

that the only way to eradicate Mormonism
was to get the children into Christian
schools, and teach them the true religion.
It was in that way that he was laboring in
Salt Lake City. The Mormon parents, he
found, were ready to send their children
to Gentle schools, appreciating the fact that
their own church schools are very inefi-
cient.
WAR INTO AFRICA.
The Bishop asked for help to raise $40, 900
to found in the Mormon capital school for
boys. There were only three communicsnts
of the Episcopal Church there 20 years ago
Now there are 500, although the Gentle
population of Salt Lake City is only 6.00O
The Bishop said that he was confident that
at the municipal election next February the
city government will be wrested out of the
Mormon control. That event was being
made possible, he thought, only by the work
of Christian schools. They were doing in
a few years what the courts could not do in
decades.
Reference was made to a recent refusal of
a Federal Judge to admit Mormon to
naturalization, on the ground that his re-
ligion compelled him to be an enemy to the
United States Government all Mormons
taking a solemn vow to revenge upon the
United States Government the murders of
Joseph and Hiram Smith. That decision,
the Bishop said, would probably be ap-
pealed. If it were sustained by the Su-
preme Court, it would do very much to lib
crate Utah from Mormon control.
The services of the evening were closed at
$50 o'clock. Bishop Whitehead announced
the sessions for to-day at Emmanuel Church,
Allegheny. All persons were welcome, he
said. Bishop Kendrick, of Washington, is
expected to be present to-day.

A LOST POCKETBOOK.

An East End Residence Entered BY Thief
and Money Stolen.
In the East End there is one house which
is considerably torn up, so to speak, over a
most mysterious affair which happened last
Sunday. The matter has been kept quiet,
in the hope that some light might be
thrown upon it, but the mystery is still as
deep as ever. The story is as follows:
Clara Dwyer, remarkably good-looking
young woman, is cook for Mrs. Sylvester
Cosgrave, of Emerson street, and has been
saving her money during the last summer.
This money she kept in a pocketbook, but
being of careless disposition she was in the
habit of leaving it just where last in use.
On Sunday afternoon she left 1t on the back
stairs of the house in which she is employed,
and when she went to look for il it was
gone. She at once jumped to the conclusion
that the chambermaid, whose name is
JustinaL Loboeswasiski,b but who Is called Just
Lobo for short, was to blame for its disap-
pearance, and accused the girl Of taking it.
The chambermaid vehemently denied being
the thief, and in the best English at her
command threatened to pulverize her ac-
cuser.
line COOK then went to captain mercer, OF
the Nineteenth ward station house, and en-
listed his services in the search for the miss
ing wealth. Captain Mercer and Detective
COulson spent some time on the case, but
only succeeded in proving the innocence OF
the Hungarian chambermaid. 1t is now
thought that sneak thief entered the house
by the back door, which was open, and, see
ing the pocketbook, avalled himself of the
opportunity to secure money with which to
buy himself Christmas present.
The pocketbook contained over $50, and
is severe loss to the cook, who has been
sick for some time. She is much distressed
over her misfortune.

AN MEDICATION or PRosPERITY.
Park Bros. Enlarging Their Premises and
| About to Make Wash Metal.

Park Bros. Enlarglng Their Premises and
About to Make Wash Metal.
Park Bros. contemplate some additions to
their plant, and intend to deviate from the
ordinary channel of steel manufacture by
making wash metal for their own use, and
possibly for sale. The company has erected
q wash metal furnace on plot Of ground
adjoining the rake tooth shop, on Smallman
street. It is built similarly to pudding
furnace, with the addition of cupola.
This new furnace is built as an experiment,
and if it proves successful number of others
will be erected. Park Bros use a quantity
of wash metal in the manufacture of open
hearth steel, and their own consumption of
the article will be large.
Wash metal is made from good pig metal,
and is put through process similar to muck
bar. The pig Is thoroughly cleaned in the
furnace, and then taken out in balls When
it has cooled down it is put back into the
furnace and repuddled, and, when huxed, is
teemed from the furnace and poured into
sand molds. The metal after going through
a final process assumes q spongy appear
ance.
The company has bought large plot of
ground in the rear of the plate mill from j.
B. Hill, the lumber dealer, and will soon
erect upon it accommodation for an increase
to their open hearth plant. Though Park
Bros. run seven large open hearth furnaces,
it taxes their utmost capacity to fill their
orders, and they may possibly have to build
another plate mill.
Part of the ground purchased from j. B.
Hill will be used as an ingot yard.

He also proceeded to get jealous of the at
tentions paid her by several other gentle
men, and the outcome was that last Monday
he gave her severe beating. She then
sued him before Alderman Richards. Gen

and in default of $500 bail was committed

CARNAHAN'S DAKDER UP.

He Makes Some Very Emphatic Assertions
About the Squirrel Hill. schenleY Park
l1uddle-Ofher Statements Bearing on
the Right Of Way.
The attempt of the Squirrel Hill Electric
Railway Company to cut into the Schenley
Park property, shown up in yesterdays
DISPATCH, occasioned no little discussion
yesterday morning. One of the most indig.
nsnt men in the city was R. B. Carnahan,
who went to the Office of the Department
Of Public Works yesterday and said that
Mr.. TOrrens had no right to grant any privi-
leges to railroad or any other corporation
through the park.
He said that Mrs. SchenIey had never
been consulted in the matter, as If she had
he would have surely known it.
W. h. Brown, City Engineer, said that
work had been suspended BY the railroad
company BY agreement until the return OF
Chief Bigelow at the beginning of next
week. At the same time, he would keep a
sharp lookout on any possible resumption
Of operations. At first the final remark of
the City Engineer seemed somewhat
enigmatical, but a little investigation
resumed on the line at midnight on Satur-
day night, carving the road over the
small piece of debatable ground while the
Sabbath bells announce that no injunction
can be served on the company, nor can any
power outside of that welded by Captain
Wishart pull the laborers from worldly
employment
One instance was cited of Detroit street
railway which did Just such a trick, send
ing loaded car over the line closely follow
ing the construction party in order to comply
with the State law requiring road to be in
operation. 1t was pretty generally init
mated that such course might be adopted
by the electric road, and when Engineer
Brown heard of it he said: "Well, they
will have to get up pretty early on Sunday
morning if they are there before I am-st II
A. NJ. do not think, however, that any
such move will be made, as the whole matter
has been amicably arranged as far as know
until the return of Chief Bigelow."
W. H. Moreland, City Attorney, said
yesterday that if any attempt were made on
the part of the company to trespass upon the
city park he would at once proceed to in
woke the aid of the courts to keep the park
clear of railroad intrusion. The advantages
to be gained by the railroad gaining en-
trance to the park are so apparent that they
scarcely need remuneration. The proba-
bility of a geological garden, pony track
and other attractions being added to the
park proper is not so remote that the ad-
vantage of being the only line which would
issue tickets leaving visitors within the
park boundaries would not be Immediately
seized, and this, among other things, is the
reason that Chief Bigelow refuses to allow
a corporation to utilize the city improve
ments in aggrsndizing itself without at
least the courtesy of asking permission or
contributing to the support of the park
project
