THE GUNS on BOARD THE SHIPS.

OF course an important feature Ol Tue
possibilities of war with Germany Is the
range of the guns aboard the German iroD-
clsds. They are all breech-loading Krupp
guns. ranging from to 1912 inches In
diameter of bore, and throwing shells
varying between 90 pounds and 500 pounds,

CHICAGO, Nov. Sat a meeting this
afternoon of CrOnin's Clan-na-Gael
friends, who are preparing to add to
the prosecution fund by means Of the
annual Irish Manchester Martyr celebra-
ton, to be held November %. z. w.
Dunno said: "There is a demand for
decided acton by this body. Dr.. ORellly
and Col. Atkinson, OF Detroit, have
gone to Ireland. 1t is not possible they
had no obiecI in view, and / move
that we send a cablegram TO Parnell at
once to advise hlm OF their true mis-
sion. The opposition, the murderers
OF CrOnin, and the arch-fiend
back OF them all, have
sent them there to poison the
minds of our race. They
are now trying to find support IN the
Old country. and if we don't let our
counTymen know who they are, and
what they are there for, we Will suffer
for it. Ne are already misunderstood,
and Parnell ought to be advised 10 have
nothing to 90 with them until he hears
from the meeting of the 23d." The
suggestion was opposed by John De-
vOy, on the ground that the coming
event was the celebration of a rcvOlu-
tiondry measure, and a communication
from II to Parnell might embdrrass
tnat leader by connecting HIM with 1t.

COAL CAN GO OUT NOW.
The River Channel Mt the Beaver Bridge
Widened Considerably.

The River Channel Mt the Beaver Bridge
Widened Considerably.
The width of available river channel
under the Pittsburg and Lake Erie bridge
at Beaver has been widened to double its
width. As soon as the rise reached a barge
depth on Monday, Captain John A. Woods
determined to take action to remove some of
the distractions at that point, caused by the
temporary piers Of timber erected BY the
Keystone Bridge Company. This action
was threatened by Captain Wood in an in
terview published in THE SUNDAY DIS
PATCH. The steamboat D. B. Wood was
sent down the river with large force of
men, and one of the timber piers was torn
away. No person on the part of the rail-
road company or the bridge company OBJ
jected to the demolition, and it is probable
that none of the members of those companies
have any objection to the work done. The
tearing away of the false pier increased the
available channel from little over 100 feet
to over 200. There will hereafter be little
difficulty in running barges through the
bridge.
John A. Wood & Son did not send out
their tows until they received word yester-
day morning that the channel had been
widened. Then they sent down 26 coal
boats by the John A. Wood and S. L.
Wood. Word was received yesterday noon
that the large tows had successfully run the
Beaver bridge.
kilograms from Cincinnati, yesterday,
announced a fall in the price of Pittsburg
coal. Fourth pool coal went down to 6
cents per bushel, third pool 61z cents, first
and second pools cents. The heavy ship
ments from this port during the past ten
days have caused the decline in price.
Large shipments have been made from the
Kanawha region.

BOROUGHS AND TOWNSHIPS.
How Rowand Was Thumped by the Country
Folk of the County-McDoWelI Ran All
RiEht-Odd Features.

How Rowand Was Thumped by the Country
Folk of the County-McDoweH Ran All
RiEht-Odd Features.
The boroughs and townships showed de-
cided majority for Johnston for District At
torney, and vet gave Mcdowell, of the op.
posing CorOnial ticket. a steady lead. In
some places the unpopularity of Rowand
was very apparent from the voting. For
instance, in Elizabeth borough, the votes
were: Rowand, 60; Johnston, 120; while
Mcdowell got 129 votes to Beltzhoover's 81.
By this it will be seen that some go persons
who voted against Rowand right there,
found no difficulty in voting for Mcdowell,
and, with II who had abstained from voting
altogether, secured the latter gentleman a
majority of r.
The same was noticeable in the Third
ward, Braddock, where the voting was:
Rowand 38, Johnston 70; and for the Cor
onership, Mcdowell 164, BeItzhoover a.
The Fourth district, Baldwin, election
smacked of trading" The numbers were:
Rowand 60, Johnston 81; and Mcdowell 10,
Beltzhoover 103. In Elizabeth II votes
were cast for James Nevine.
In both Mckeesport and Braddock the
election was extremely quiet and the vote
cifully by the Republicans, while Mcdowell
was traded for RoWand votes. The polling
places we're almost deserted during the day.
In some places the voting was very close.
In Beltzhoover borough (where oddly
enough, Beltzhoover was badly beaten),
Johnston got 81 votes, to RoWand's SO. In
the Fourth CHARTERS District Johnston got
SO votes to Rowand's "a.
There were also some big majorities. In
the Seventh District, Miffiin, Rowand got
81 to Johnston's votes, and Mcdowell 49
to Beltzhoover's IL votes. In the Fourth
District, Baldwin, as has already been
mentioned, Beltzhoover beat Mcdowell by
103 to 10.
With regard to the State Treasurership,
the sentiment was clearly in favor OF Boyer.
The Mansfield figures are worth a study.
Boyer got 134 to Bigler's 42. and Mcdowell
got 135 to 46. Reading thus far, one would
say that the returns showed very uniform
Republican majority. But then comes the
District Attorneyship voting, and Johnston
gets lis to Rowand's g. Clearly Rowand
was, here again, badly cut by his party
men.
Further returns from McKeesport show:
TreaSurer-Boyer 563, Bigler 415. Judge
Collier 1,079. District Attorney-Johnston
557, Rowand 454. Coroner-McDowel $50,
BeItzhoover 452.
Braddock gives Johnston a majority of
155. The vote was not large, only 576 ballots
being cast. Two precincts in the township,
where there have always been large Repub-
lican majorities, only give Rowand votes
over Johnston. Mcdowell, for Coroner, cap
tured the borough by vote of 262, to 249 for
Beltzhoover. The two precincts of the town.
ship give him 122 majority.

A 100000 CONTRACT.
The Lake Erie Will Cut Down the Heavy
Grade Between ShannOpin and shOns-
,oxv,-Worlr for 00A Mon


The Lake Erie Will Cut Down the Heavy
Grade Between ShannOpin and shOns.
town-WOrk for 200 Men.
The Pittsburg and Lake Erie Railroad
signed a contract yesterday for leveling the
track between Shoustown and Shannopin,
the work is 100000, and it is expected that
1t will take 200 men six months to complete
the work. The line now running between
these two points is on heavy grade. The
grade is about 26 feet to the mile. Between
the two stations there is a distance of two
miles, making 50 feet of an ascent, which
necessitates an extra locomotive on all
freight trains. This work has long been
under consideration of the officials of the
road. They have at last concluded to level
the grade and run a straight double track.
The present tract runs parallel with the
Ohio river, but in a circuitOus manner. 1t
is now proposed to blast the hill and lay the
new track about 26 feet lower. To do this
there will have to be an immense amount OF
excavating, the present estimate being that
$50, 600 yards of material will have to be
removed. The present track is laid upon a
stretch of rock, so that good deal OF blast
ing will have to he done. Between Shous-
town and Shannopin there are eight ravines,
and these will be bridged over by large arch
culverts, making waterways for the
numerous runs. The arch culverts will be
built of solid masonry, and on the top of the
arch the track will be laid.
At Shannopin the new line will be about
500 feet, and at some points about 26 feet
nearer the Ohio river. The contractors, the
Wcrneburg Brothers, are going to commence
operations at once ou the new line. They
state that it is a difficult job. because there
is so much rock to be dynamited and re-
moved, but it is expected that the two
points will be Joined early next spring.

An Epidemic Of ViruIent Diseases sill
Raging In LawreuceviIIe.
Several weeks ago Lawrenceville was
threatened with an epidemic of diphtheris,
as we'll as other virulent diseases. DR.. NJ.
C. Cameron stated to DISPATCH reporter
yesterday that diphtheria had now sub
sided. 1t is rare thing, he said, to get a
patient suffering with that disease. He
said, however, that scarlet fever was preVa-
lent: that in a number of thoroughfares be-
low Butler street families had two and
three children suffering from fever. He
said that when scarlet fever reached home
generally every child was attacked with it.
Pneumonia is also widespread in Lawrence
vile, but the cause of its prevalence is at
tributed more to atmospheric causes than to
any impurity that arises from the bad sani-
tary condition of the neighborhood.
Scarlet fever, which broke ont in the
Episcopal Home short time ago, has en-
tirely disappeared from that institution. and
the officials are commensurately happy.
They have large charge of children, and
were afraid it might have broken out among
them all with fatal results.
