SHORTENING THE LINE,

The Pennsylvania Company Will Build a
Branch From Youngstown to Hudson, to
Bring Cleveland Nearer to Pittsburg
Doors.
At present the Lake Erie Railroad, in
connection with the Nypano, enjoys the dis
tinction of being the shortest line to Cleve-
land. This has been wormwood to the
Pennsylvania Company for many a day,
and at last after great deal of talk, they
have decided to build a connection from
Youngstown to Hudson, on the c. & P.
road. With the A, Y. & P. to Youngs.
town, the branch to Hudson and the C. &
P. to Cleveland, the Pennsylvania Com
pany will greatly reduce its mileage to the
Forest City, and their line will be a little
shorter than the Lake Erie and the Nypano
Mr.. Terry, the General Agent of the
Wheeling and Lake Erie road, was in the
city yesterday. He is inclined to believe
that Mr.. Carnegie is in the deal to purchase
the Valley line, despite the denials of the
latter's friends.

He knew New Hampshire, having walked
over it from end to end, and he was not sur
prised that it voted against prohibition, for
the reason that it required in that State q
two-thlrds vote to carry the measure, bat
that if it had only required majority, pro-
hibition would have won. The speaker
said that he had it on good authority that
when local option was voted for in this
county that the county was carried for
local option, but that under certain meth
DDS possible then, but not now, it
was counted out. He urged chat
organization was what was wanted,
and Prohibitionists should not be
afraid to use methods that are COM
mon in political campaigns; brass bands
were good enough at the wind-up of the
campaign to STIR up some enthusiasm, but
at the present time organization was the
thing most needed.
"Broadax" Smiths remarks were in be-
half of the colored voter, and said that it
was common expression that politics make
strange bedfellows, and if the Prohibi ton
lists wanted the colored brother in line they
had better begin sleeping with him at once.
Mr.. Weeks was then elected Chairman
despite his protestations. A man named
Wood, from the West End, stirred up a
hornets nest by saying, that after mature
deliberation he thought that Mr.. Weeks
would not be the proper man for the reason
that he would not be popular with the
workingmen, as he had once decided against
them when acting as arbitrator in matter
between miners and operators.
Mr.. Weeks, in his own defense, stated
that the gentleman was mistaken, as was
also his informant. He would state that he
had acted as arbitrator in two cases,
and in the first his decision
was in favor of the workingmen.
His second decision was not in favor of the
operators. When he was deciding the case
he sent for the Chairman of the Working
mems Association, and after long talk
with him, and at his suggestion, the award
was made, and it was the operators who OBJ
jected to it.
On motion of Squire Leslie the conven-
/ tion resolved itself into County Commit
tee to take charge Of the affairs of the cam
paign. The Chairman was given the powe,
to appoint the Executive Committee and
all other subcommittee.

PATTERSON OR MALONE.
Another Superintendent May be Appointed
TO Finish the Posto1ice.

Another superintendent May be Appointed
TO Finish the Postofice.
The specifications for the plans and con-
tracts for the roof of the new postofice
building are now going the rounds of the
bidders, and it is expected that the an
nouncement of the fortunate bidders name
will be made in the early part of April.
Mr.. Patterson stated yesterday afternoon
that owing to the weather he was able to
push the work as rapidly as possible. He
sees no reason-if the material for the roof
is not delayed-why the postoffice should
not be in working order before this year has
gone.
1t is generally understood that Mr..
Michael Malone is trying to be reappointed
as Superintendent of the Government build
ing. The friends of Mr.. Patterson, both
Republican and Democratic, are anxious
to have him retain the position. because he
has done such efficient work in pushing
the completion of the building, but Mr..
Malone's supporters say to offset this, that
as he was the first Superintendent, and so
we'll acquainted with all the fundamental
plans of the building he ought to have the
chance of finishing it.
What the outcome of the controversy will
be is thing that is anxiously watched for
by all parties interested.

steam to rise and in about two minutes have
more steam than the boiler can stand. If do
not have my eye on the gauge there is liable to
be an explosion.
The pieces of the boiler were scattered in
every direction. A large piece was carried
across the street and rested in Fishers
foundry, at least so yards away.
Major Robert Munroe, the senior member
of the firm, said:
1 deeply regret the loss of life. l had been at
the boilers about Is minutes before and had
Just walked across the street to Fishers
foundry when the accident occurred. The
boiler is a comparatively new one and the en-
glneer was trustworthy and competent man.
l have no theory to advance as to the cause OF
the explosion. We manufacture boilers and
are supposed to know how to take care of them.
Why this tubular boiler should let go is some
thing cannot explain.
Bookkeeper Hamilton was in the engine
room just before the explosion occurred. He
says that the boiler appeared to have plenty
of water.

THEY ARE RAISING FUNDS.
The Saloon Keepers Securing Money to De-
feat the Amendment.

The saloon heepers securing money TO De-
feat the Amendment.
The saloon keepers and liquor dealers of
the two cities held another meeting at
Grand Army Hall, on Fourth avenue, yes
terday afternoon. As stated last week. the
object of the organization is to raise funds
for the purpose of defeating the Constitu-
tional amendment. There was a large at
tendance, but a number of dealers who were
present at the last meeting did not put in
an appearance.
Some of them gave as reason for nom
attendance that if action were taken now.
saloon keepers who did not get license next
month would not take any interest In the
matter. They believe there will be enough
time for work after the License Court gives
its decisions.
President Matt Weiss said that nothing
special was done at the meeting, and his
statement was corroborated by the Secre-
tary, John Sauer. The latter said:
We are merely collecting money for the
printing and circulating of campaign liter
ature, and the result has exceeded the expecta-
tions of the members. The amendment will
undoubtedly be defeated, but it is necessary to
do some work.

Their Lively Meeting in the Afternoon.
There were 116 delegates present yester-
day afternoon at the County Convention of
Constitutional amendment supporters in
Curry Hall. Joseph D. Weeks was chosen
County Chairman for the campaign; Alder
man A. Ii. Leslie, Secretary, and Hudson
Samson, Treasurer.
Before finishing the election, however,
the proceedings became spirited. Mr..
Weeks was in the chair. He said that the

not discourage the workers in this State.

of them had recently been getting sup
plies at Toledo. Under the influence OF
this news, and the reported taking Of
$4,000 bushels more here for export. the
market took on decided strength late in
the session, and during the last twenty
minutes lively trade was witnessed,
and the best prices of the day were at

IRON Shipments.

MARQUETTE, Mich, September 21.-
The shipments of iron ore by lake to
date have passed the 5 ZOO, 900 mark this
weeks work carrying the total up to
5O3,1 gross tons which is 1,941 ,669
tons above the quantity that had been
forwarded at the corresponding date
last year; and the shipment for the
week footed up 2+2,6S3 tons, of which
amount 42,13S tons went from Mar

from Ashland, 1880 from Two Har-
bors, 2,O42 from st. Ignace, and 1860

son and the indications now are that
the output of the mines for 1889 will
easily reach 100000 tons, and may
somewhat exceed that figure.
