Some Figueres That Let Light in---The
Farmer and Consumer---A
Two Edged Machine.

This is the age of trusts, which
may be justly termed combinations
against the public, entered into by
capitalists and monopolists in order
to enhance their dividends at the
expense of the consumers of the
products of such trusts without re-
gard to justice or to intrinsic values.
In recent issue of the CAPITAL
JOURNAL n writer, over the sigma
ture of "Farmer," discussed the eX-
istence in Oregon of "flour trust, "
of which compaint is made, not
only by the farmers who produce
the wheat of which the flour is
manufactured, but by the consum-
ers also. "Farmer's" letter is repro
duced in late issue of the Salt
Lake Herald, with the following
added by one who signs himself
CONSUMER" ...
"In order to compare the condi-
ton of the farmer and consumer Of
Utah with the same classes of Ore

trust, | will refer to the quotation
of prices of wheat and flour, and

"Now, if the figures and estimates
of the Oregon farmer are correct,
which I have no reason to doubt,
we can arrive Mt n pretty accurate
conclusion of the profits of the trust
which deals in wheat and flour, by
adding to the cost of manufactur-
ing flour the difference between the
prices of wheat-62 and So cents.

JURY COMMISSIONERS OFFICE,
COURT HOUSE, PITTSBURG, Oct. II.
It having been reported that Arch n.
Rowand, Jr., now Republican candidate for
District Attorney, while Clerk Of Courts of
this county never had soldier in his office,
I desire to state that Mr.. Rowand appointed
me as one of his clerks in December, 1879;
that was in his Office for five years; also,
that my appointment was unsolicited, either
by myself or any of my friends. He also
had the late Major William Collier, brother
of Judge Collier, in his Office for four years.
Major Collier served throughout the war and
for Is years after its close. He also had
George Erwin, son of the late Captain Will
lam Erwin, of the Thirty-sixth ward, in his
Office four years. Leon j. Long. although
he never was in active service, enlisted seven
times and each time was taken out by his
father on account of his youth, but, as it is
generally known among G. A. r. men. Mr..
Long has volunteered his services probably
oftener than any man in this county in aid
ing the different G. A. r. posts. 1 would
state that / enlisted in the army on the first
call OF President Lincoln, and served almost
continuously until December, 1865. AT all
times that was in the Clerk of Courts office
Mr. Rowand never refused a request made

ing two comrades their pensions without any
compensation whatever, one of whom re-
ceived $500 as first payment The report
that was appointed at the instance ofJudge

discharge me, is not true. At the time Of
my appointment the county officials APP

John McTighe on Thursday night in a
rough-and-tumble, was fined $25 and costs
yesterday morning. At noon he was taken
from the cell and shown to the police day

necessary.
He made no objections to the first exhi-

he was about to be placed on exhibition for

Some Comic Pictures Cleverly Exe-

combined spinal column. It was mutual
admiration society that occupied the floor.
the principal object of whose existence ap-
peared to be to preserve the lineaments of
each other through the action of the neces-
sary liniments on a dry plate after ex-
posure
The pictures taken we're BY no means
crude specimens of art, as Albert Duckam,
who manipulated the camera, is an expert,
and the well-known figure of Stokes posing
as the Apollo Belvldere was brilliant sue
cess. When Robert Thompson, chief
draughtsman of the engineering department,
stood in front OF the lens his composure was
somewhat ruffled by remarks from a ribald
clerk of the Water Assessors Office on the
floor below, which were in the following
strain: "You'll make that camera cross
eyed if you look In it that way" "An ex-
pansion like that would crack the muffed
object glass; ''Don't shoot with that gat-
ling at the man." etc.
Observations of this and similar nature
made the expression on Mr.. Thompson's
face little severe, but the likeness gen.
orally is good, as he stands with folded
arms in the front rank of the whole group of
the engineering force. Another view of the
interier of the draushtsme MS room shows
the boys at work, and the reflection from
the huge sheets OF drawing paper in front of
them imparts thoughtful, if not ascetic,
appearance to the workers.
The groups of the different surveying
corps in the city employ are gracefully
postured and with theodolites, transits,
graduated staff and other instruments of
their profession fully displayed, resemble
small solar eclipse expeditions slightly out
of their latitude. The pictures, although
sicklied o'er with the pale hue of "blue
print" proofs, are very attractive, the lead
ing ones being known in the Office as ''The
Diamond Corps, Frank Schwartz in charge;
"The Hoosiers," Peter ellison in charge;
''The Kid Glove Corps" W. S. Wakefield
in charge. The heroic figure Of Mr.. Brad
ley, janitor of Municipal Hall, as Narcissus
gazing into the Monongahela, is one of the
best executed in the art annex lately added
to the attractions of the engineering depart
ment in City Hall.

THE NEW TRUCK.


A Thorough Test to be Made Of the New
Apparatus This Morning.
Superintendent Evans, of the Bureau Of
Fire, said yesterday that complete test
will be made Of the new Gillespie truck this
morning at 10 o'clock.
The maneuvers will take place on Seventh
avenue, in front OF No. 8 engine house, and
will include every exercise required for an
extension ladder drill, the most difficult
and probably the most useful being the art
of lodging telegraph wires without making
shocking failure, or cutting more wires
than are absolutely necessary to get within
20 feet of the buildings
The telegraph, telephone and light COM
panies will have representatives on the
ground to see fair play Tor the wires, while
the insurance men will be there in force to
see that the fremen get a chance.

IF NOT. SAY WHY NOT
Criminal Court Building : Arguments
Favoring the Purchase.

Make Police Station of the Abandoned
Criminal Court Building Arguments
Favoring the Purchase.
The couEty wants to sell some property
and the city wants to buy some, and there
are some people, and quite large number
of them, who think city and county might
make deal that would be mutually profit
able. The county wants. to sell its disused
court buildings on Diamond street, and it is
suggested that the buildings in which the
criminal court was held, the one located
where Diamond street fades into Old ave-
nue., would be about as nearly the correct
thing for city station house and all con-
building is of the most substantial charac-
ter and contains ample room not only for
court room and cells Tor prisoners, but for
the housing Of the entire Department Of
Public Safety, and there are safes and
vaults ready to use.
The advocates OF the measure pile reason
upon reason. In the first place they say the
location Of the present station house is an
eyesore. and that it is shameful
that women and children should be COM
PEELED to witness daily the degrading spec
tacle of Gods image in either alabaster or
ebony being dragged handcuffed through
one of the most public thoroughfares in the
city. The proposed location is remote from
general travel, is quiet and convenient to
the Court House, and the transfer of prison.
ers from it to Jail would involve but tine cross
ing of the street. In fact, tunnel might
be constructed under the street to connect
the two institutions. It's tunnelish sort
Of place around there anyhow.
1t is also suggested that all the Offices Of
the entire Department of Public Safety
would find ample room in the building, with
space to spare for police drill-room, gymna-
stun, hospital, etc., in fact for everything
thata sense OF utility or fancy might suggest.
Then, too, the city might have special car
built, and track run under the building,
where the car could be housed, and in 1t
could be loaded prisoners for the work.
house, or paupers to be sent ia the city farm
by the Department Of Charities. Prisoners
could be transferred from the Allegheny
Valley railway to the workhouse, and there
would be no need to continue the spectacle
ofhauling them over to Allegheny in the
Black Maria, like sheep or hogs.
County Commissioner Mckee was asked
what he thought of the suggestion, and he
said he thought it an eminently proper one,
and that the city might get what it needed
more cheaply in this way than any other.
Commissioner McWilliams states that the
building is very substantial, but he had not
thought of its being utilized for the purpose
proposed.
Mayor McCallin did not take kindly to
the proposition, and suggested in lieu site
near the Seventh avenue engine house, but
he did not bolster his preference by argu-
ment.
