grasped hold of q rope attached to some
barges and was rescued by man named
Cloud. Gallagher went under the barges,

A meeting Of the owners and officers Of
the Birmingham Traction Company was
held yesterday in the Office of the Solicitor,

meeting was to make the change from the
old passenger railway company to the

After doing this, the latter company was
organized, and the legal details attended to.
1t was expected that the contracts for the
work on the road would be let, but this was
not done. Another meeting will be held in
about two weeks to award the contract.
After the meeting James A. Chambers,
one of the directors of the new company,
said: ''We did nothing to-day but affect an
organization of the company, and have not
yet completed it. Nothing was done about
the contracts for the work of building the
line. We have all the bids, but they have
not been opened yet. Wewill meet again
about the latter part of the month and we'n
let the contracts then for the ironwork. We
want to do this as early as possible in order
to have it all delivered in the spring, when
we will begin the work of tearing up the
streets"

Il IL Said That He II on His Death-Bed In
New York City.
Mr.. John II. Shoenberger is reported
dying at his residence in New York City.
Mr.. Shoenberger is in his SOth year, and
nearly so years Of his long and useful life
were spent in this city. His father was DR..
Peter Shoenberger. The family began
business in this city about 1882. In those
days the name was more widely known
through Pennsylvania than that of any
other in the iron business. DR.. Peter
Shoenberger was wealthy man for that
time, and whenever he found q bed of iron
ore and other things located to suit him, he
built furnace and they were strung be-
tween this city and Philadelphia, and all
along the line you might have heard the
Pennsylvania Dutch talk of the doings of
the 'Shinneburgers." At his death, 40
years ago, DR.. Peter Shoenberger left ten
children and gave each furnace. After
his death the firm in this city was G. 8 ].
II. Shoenberger.
John d. went to New York City to live
some eight or nine years ago. He was twice
married. He was Senior W arden of Trinity
Church for about 30 years, and at the last
annual vestry meeting was elected Senior
Warden for life. He was very charitable
man, gave literally to many charitable
objects during his entire life. Though per-
sonalIy unknown to many of the present
generation, Mr.. Shoenberger's name will
last as long as the city.

The past week or SO has been very fruit

scheme to put $12, ,OOO, 900 into pipe line

located on the seaboard and the western end
of the line be in Butler county. 1t is said
to be move of the P. P. A, who are sup
posed to be dissatisfied with the deal the
Standard has given them, though some
people think 81 a good price for oil, and
that the only people who have right to
complain are brokers and people who want
to speculate.

the pipe line project, though they think
Thomas Phillips, Emory, Taylor and others

District Attorney Lyon Has no Orders in
the Jeanette Matter.
The sun set without anything further
from Washington regarding the imported
glass workers at Jeanette, than that Solici-
tor Hepburn and Attorney General Miller
had advised Secretary Window that the
men should be sent back, and that proceed
ings should be instituted against the i'm
porters.
Hon. Walter Lyon thought that if the
men were sent back. that would likely be
the end of the matter, and that the 81, 900
fine in such cases would not likely be
levied. He says the act is somewhat foggy.
That though the vessel owners might be
made bear the expense of transportation
back, yet the men must be apprehended
and the vessel discovered, and this would
be the work of the Treasury Department.
Mr.. Lyon did not talk much, but he
opined that the men would not raise any
serious objection to being returned. The
impression appears to prevail that the men
will pretty generally go back before long.

substantial reasons for thinking that he has
covered yielding field.
Just east of his lease the railroad bridge
across the Kiskiminitas is in course of COM
