action of the House Of Representatives OIL
the submission Of the Constitutional amend
ment to vote of the people He said:
see that the matter has passed the House
and suppose it will 60 whooping through the
Senate. There will be some fun when the
question goes before the people. 1 will vote
dead against it, and think I can say very posi-
lively that the borough of Braddock will go
against it also.
If the amendment becomes law It will not
stop drinking or the sale of whiskey. Why,
we have laws against the crime of larceny, yet
there are over 200 cases tried at every term Of
the grand jury. There will be almost as much
drinking done then as there is now. About the
only difference it will make is that the whisky
will lie of poorer quality and harder to
drink.
i think that we are getting as close to
solution of the problem of whisky under the
present law as we will ever get. OF course
there are number of imperfections in the
Brooks high license law; but these can all be
remedied from time to time as the occasion re-
quires. The liquor traffic should be confined to
taverns. Saloons should be done away al
together. A mere drinking place is not accom-
mediation to anybody, and could easily be
ohol;cbed 7 ramamhar On vears auo when there
was not ''dive" in Allegheny county. Two
years ago there were hundreds in this city. The
high-license law cleaned them out pretty
thoroughly. Of course the Judges made mis-
takes; but they were excusable under the
circumstances.
Out in our little town of Braddook there are
only eight places where liquor is sold. A few
years ago there was for about every 40 inhab.
itants of the town. l had figures which showed
that 20 per cent of the money we paid out in
wages every month was spent in these places.
In round figures, it would average between
S30 600 and $4,000.

HEINRICH WASN'T THERE.
The Venerable Chief of the Economics
Fails to Attend a Lake Erie Railroad
Meeting For the First Time in Years.

Fails to Attend a Lake Erie Railroad
Meeting For the First Time in Years.
For the first time in the history of the
Pittsburg and Lake Erie Railroad Company
old Jacob Henrici, President of the Econo-
mite Society, did not appear at the annual
meeting to vote the Economic stock, yes
terday The little white-haired old man,
with his old stove-pipe hat and quaint gar
ments, was not seen at the gathering of the
stockholders. His old-fashioned carpet bag,
with its rich store of Economic wine and
cakes, was missed by those who gathered to
attend the yearly meeting of the road.
The latter has now entirely passed out of
the control of the Economic Society and
the Hostetter people, and the Vanderbilts
partially own it. E. d. Worcester was
elected director yesterday in place of A. E.
W. Painter, and F. w. Vanderbilt was
elected to succeed d. II. Hostetter. James
H. Bailey has taken the place of Mr.. Hos
tetter on the P, NICK. & Y. board.
The following are the new boards:
Pittsburg and Lake Erie Railroad Company
ell: Directors, Cornelius Vanderbilt William
K. Vanderbilt, F. W. Vanderbilt, Hamilton
NICK, Twombly, E. ID. Worcester, Nj. w. Wat
son, Henry Hice, James l. Bennett, James M.

Railroad Company-President, F: H. Reed;
Directors, Cornelius VanderbIlt, William x.

James !. Bennett, NJ. w. Watson, Henry Hice.
The proposition to increase the indebted
ness of the Lake Erie Company nearly
81, 900, 900 was adopted-S1, ,000, 900 of this
will be in bonds and $3.50, 600 in stock. This
will increase the former to S2,000,000 and
the total amount of stock to 81 050, 600. The
money will be used to pay for the extensive
Improvements made within the past year
and the improvements to be made the COM
ing spring. Among the latter are the lay
ing of long sidings at different points.
These sid1ngs will be connected as the
occasion requires, and inside of two years
it is expected that the road will be double
tracked all the ,way from PitIsburg to
Youngstown. ---------.-.-, .-..-......
The total earnings of the Lake Erie road
for the year were s., ,756, ,646 IS. The in
crease over the year of 1887 was S196, ,266 IS.
The operating expenses for the year were
81, ,356, ,64S 36. The two per cent dividends
paid during the year amounted to S123, 900.
The net surplus of the year was S107, ,961 80.

to be 81, ,O3O, $50 %. The increase in the
gross earnings over 1887 was S13S,74 46.
The operating expenses were S574, ,666 20.

NOT so BAD As REPORTED.

The Park Avenue Presbyterian Church
Damaged Only About s125.
The damage to the Park Avenue Presby-
terian Church, as result of the recent
cyclone, on inspection proved not to be near
as bad as first reported. When in the course
of erection the southwest gable was struck
by lightning. This weakened it some, but
it was not thought seriously, which supposi-
tion the cyclone proved true by bulging it
out.
Since then the weak portion has been
torn down and is being remedied at proba.

WANAMAKER WAS NOT THERE.
A Rumor That the Probable Cabinet Officer
Would Go West.

Oo "ests
A telegram received in this city last night
stated that John Wanamaker would pass
through the Union station on his way West
ostensibly to visit President-elect Harrison
at the latter's home in indianapolis. The
visit was significant, in view of the fact that
Mr.. Wanamaker had given up his trip to
Paris at the last moment, and as he has
been mentioned as one of the sure Cabinet
officers, it was thought that he had been
called to indianapolis by the President
elect
Inquiry upon the arrival of all trains de-
veloped the fact that he had not come via
the Pennsylvania, and if he left Philadel-
phia at noon he travelled by way of some
other route to the West.
The correspondents OF the Philadelphia
papers in Indianapolis said some days ago
that Mr.. Wanamaker's name had been
rubbed off the Cabinet slate.

New Castle struck yesterday tor an advance
of 8 per cent in wages. They had served

throughout the Shenango and Mahoning
valleys.

WILL 1T STOP THEIR SALES9
When Saloons Are Closed Will Glass Houses
Have TO Moves

, "Should the Prohibitionists obtain all
they desire in this State" said Southside
glass manufacturer last evening, SIT is
probable that number of glass houses in
this city will move to other and more desir-
able parts.
"In one or two instances that l am
acquainted with all the work done in the
factory is bar work, that is supplying the
fancy glasses, goblets and mugs used in a
saloon. Their trade is almost all local, and
few sales are made outside of the city or
State. Should the saloons be closed you
may imagine the result. Pittsburg, the
Glass City, will be a slow town when we
have prohibitory amendment,

tions of any amount would be received.
Mr.. A. P. Burch6eld arose, and in behalf
of a modest friend, announced 500 loan.
Chairman Schmertz then arose, and IN a
firm and most joyful way, said:
Thirty-one years ago, within 200 feet of this
building, it was my good fortune to form a
business connection with firm that am still
with. The store was little place, 2Ox50 feet.
AS the city grew the firm grew, and tonight,
while its honOred head is miles away, we know
that he does not desire to be left behind in
anything that is for the good of the city. Mr..
Chairman, Joseph Horne & Co. double their
subscription of s., 500, and make six to give
5000 each.
After the minutes and subscriptions of
the last meeting had been read, Mr.. Hartly
arose and rendered 500.
President S. S. Marvin arose and said:
"Mr. Chairman, Mr.. Kaufman is a most
diffident gentleman, and he wishes me to
say the house Of Kaufman & Co. gives an
additional subscription of $1,000" And
again applause was heard.
PITTsBURG TO BE A LUCKY ONE.
Lee S. Smith was introduced and said:
i came here tonight hoping would not be
called upon to talk, yet upon such matter of
vital importance no one should hesitate. Ny
business is only with a class. but 1 am inter-
ested here in this venture / have seen peo-
pie and money flying toward cities with exposi-
tions, and hope and now 1 know that Pitts
burg is to be one of those lucky cities.
Rev. E. r. Donahoo then was called to
the stage, and made pleasant, encouraging
speech.
d. L. Ripley said the public had been so
kind that it would be an imposition to call
them from their homes again. He thought
it could now be built, and the meeting
should be adjourned to meet at the cali of
the Board or the President.
Discussion ceased for a moment, and Mr..
Isaac Hirsh, of the VolkSblatt, arose and
said:
The TolkS5LGA spoke with authority when it
said that the Germans of Pittsburg have been
in sympathy with the Exposition movement.
Tonight | speak for the Germans when say
that, had we more expostions. more art
galleries, more music festivals, there would be
no necessity for these prohibitory laws we hear

Warde's Engagement.

The play Of CASTOR Csdol, by CO.
quelin, was presented at the matinee
Wednesday as only Frederick
Warde can render such a piece. Ii
IL French play of great power-the
scene being laid at the outbreak OF
the French Revolution.
AT the evening performances the
great actor appeared in 1.-THE Mount
e5ank.' The play itself is an e., :
cello 1t one. Its tone is healthy, i Q
humor honest, its situations strong,
and its emotions those that proceed
from the best feelings of the human
heart.
As for Mr.. Warde, his impersons-
ton of "The Mountebank" is great
one. A more finished performance
is rarely seen on the stage. The
audience testified their gratilic ition
by frequent applause.
The support is very good. Misi
Stella Rees gives TO the part o
"Madelaino' simplicity and pstho
combined with certain gentle fore,
that is quite touching. "Fanfsrade'
is made a most comical feature o
the play by Mr.. Wilfred Clarke, ant
Miss Gertie Gil plays the part o
"Henri,' the Mountebsnk's SOP, YER,
effectively. The other characters ar
all well sustained, especially "Msde
moiselle Fora" by Miss Graci
Ward".
