COUNTY DEMOCRACY.
It Asks the Postoflce to Keep Its Fingers
Out of Kavanaugh's Pie.

The County Democracy met last night at
its hall, No. 512 Smithfeld street, D. j.
BOYLE presiding, P. M. Carr Secretary
Bills to the amount of S37 were approved
and six new members elected.
A committee Of five was appointed to pro-
cure quarters for the club-G. 7. Rafferty,,
w. J. Brennan, William j. Friday, P.
Foley and J. NJ. Guffy.
Chairman Boyle urged that each member
constitute himself committee to urge pur-
chase of tickets for the club reception on the
night of the 18th inst.
Mr.. F. j. Kirk said it was important that
the political situation be given some consid-
Grafton, as q letter carrier not a resident of
the First ward was working against Mr..
Mat. Kavanaugh. Mr.. Kirk moved the ap-
pointment of committee to notify Mr..
Larkin and see if the matter could not be
remedied.
Mr.. Fox said he thought, as the P. o. had
uniformly worked this way, it ought to be
allowed to have full course to run and be
glorifed in its fight against the Democratic
party.
Several things not complimentary to the
P. o. management were said, and the Chair
stated that the committee would be ap-
pointed subsequently, and it was gathered
that the mover was like to be named as the
head.
Mr.. Ennis urged the booming of the pro-
ject for a new clubroom. He said the large
attendance so soon after defeat showed the
clubs vitality to be unimpaired, and it
ought to have more room for action. The
Walters building, on Sixth avenue, is re-
garded as the coming headquarters.
The club then went into executive session
for the transaction of private business

The New Traction Cars Will Go Out wylie
Avenue, Sure.
Tomorrow the Central Traction Compa-
ny will hold meeting to decide upon a
plan for the power house of that company
on Wylie avenue. The company has Sc
cured several lots near the corner of Tunnel
street and Wylie avenue. One of them is
on a 5O-year lease. A final decision will
also be made by the board as to whether or
not the cable is to run out Wylie or Center
avenues.
One of the directors of the company stated
to a DISPATCH reporter yesterday that
the cable would go up Wylie avenue.
II do not think, that there will be any
opposition to that by anybody" he said,
because it is almost impracticable to 60
along Center avenue for this reason: There
is deep grade out Center avenue, which
would require great deal of filling in and
other Improvements, which are not neces-
sary on Wylie avenue"

A Riu Sacrifice

tempting inducement to purchasers Of high
class clothing that we have ever announced
during our whole business career. We have

quilted satin, trimmed in the most expen-
sive manner high class tailoring can devise,
and manufactured to sell for not less than
$50. Our price on Thursday for them will
be $40. An accurate idea OF the value of
these garments can be formed from the fact
that yard of the raw material in these coats
cost between $40 and S12. We have placed
these overcoats on one counter for your in
spection, and advertised them a day in ad-
vance, as our imported French montagnac

The Pennsy Submits the Plans to the Brad
dock Council.
A plan for new railroad has been pre-
sented to Councils at Braddock by the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company for line
of tracks extending from a point at Turtle
creek through the borough of Braddock.
1t runs along the north shore Of the Monon-
gahela river, between the latter and the P,
Mex. & Y. r. R.
They did not divulge their intention, but
asked that it be submitted to committee
of Council, with whom the representative Of
the company could hold conference. The
Borough Property Committee and the
Borough Engineer have been appointed to
consult with them as to what they desire.
This route has been surveyed recently, and
it is now certain that the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company proposes extending an
other line through the town of Braddock.

BELLEVUE'S ELECTRIC ROAD.
IL May Not be Operated Again Just Yet,
For People Will Walk.

Ii May Not be Operated Again Just Yet,
For People Will Walk.
For several days it has been reported that
the Bellevue Electric road would suspend
operations entirely, owing to a want of
patronage. A reporter for THE DISPATCH
met A. j. Clancy, manager of the road, and,
when asked if the assertions were true, the
gentleman stated that some of the patrons
had lost all confidence in the road on ac-
count of its being idle so much, and that every
time it was so it was for the want of fuel.
But it is now the intention of the officials
not to start the road until they can supply it
with the necessary fuel without causing any
further delay.
1t may be a week or a month; but it can
be stated that the road will run. although,
since it has been built, it has not turned one
cent of profit into the projectors pockets.
People who wanted the road built to save
their legs, now walk up the hill instead of
patronizing the enterprise.

AN ICE HARVEST.
The P. r. r. and Pennsylvania Company Ge
800 Cars From Chautauqua.

3UO cars FROM CnnutouQuas
The recent cold snap has created quite a
boom among ice men, who now think that
there is prospect that harvest may yet
be put in.
An ice man sauntered in a drugstore last
night, struggling his shoulders and shifting
the air. When asked what was the matter,
he said:
That air feels good. That's bread and butter
to me if it keeps on cold, and if it don't we ice
men will have to migrate, 1 guess, to colder
cline. 1t smells like ice, though, to me. There
is eight inches on Pine creek, up the Pittsburg
and Western Railroad, and the ChautauQua
Lake Ice Company have commenced to harvest
it. However, the ponds are so small that the
weather will have to keep cold in order to
freeze them over again.
The 2. r. R. and Pennsylvania Company are
sure of some ice, anyway, as the Chautaugua
Lake Company loaded 200 cars for them at
Chautauqua Lake Monday and 100 Tuesday.
There is IL inches on Chautauqua lake now,
and you can be sure that it will be cared for,
every pound. None of the company's other
ponds are frozen over, though. If 1t should
thaw tomorrow and not freeze up again you
can go down to Union depot next summer and
cool YOUR palate,

A GREEN GOODS CASE
Causes the Arrest of Porter Worl by
Local U. s. Authorities.
A PROMISE OF $500 FOR ONLY s1OO
Gets a Latrobe Penman Into Serious
Trouble as a Fraud.
NO QUEER GOODS IN HIS POSSESSION.

United States Deputy Marshal Cham
bers, of Pittsburg, yesterday arrested Porter
Worl, an alleged "boodler," in this city.
Mr.. Worl will be given a whirl by Com
missioner McCandless ats o'clock this after
noon.
A few weeks ago j. A. Kohler, resident
of Somerset county, received letter from
Mr. Worl, in which the latter stated that ne
believed Kohler to be a man of honor, etc.
He said he had some business to transact
which Kohler would find to his advantage,
and asked the latter to correspond with him.
The latter made believe that he had swal-
lowed the bait, and the only thing left for
Mr.. Worl to do was
TO LAND THE SUCKER.
Kohler wrote him letters on the 22d and
28th of last month, and, as result of the
correspondence, a meeting at the American
House in this city was arranged. Worl
promised to give Kohler $500 in counterfeit
money which could not be detected for 500
in good money. Kohler told him to be on
hand with the goods" on Tuesday morn
ing.
Before going to meet Mr.. Worl, Kohler
went to the United States District Attor-
ney's office, and laid the case before Colonel
Allen The latter had warrant issued for
Mr.. Worl, and put it in charge of Marshal
Chambers. The officer proceeded to the
hotel and met the slick citizen, Mr.. Worl.
He Immediately placed the man under ar
rest; but the latter demurred, saying he did
not deal in counterfeit money, and none
could be found on his person. The latter
part of
HIS ASSERTION WAS TRUE;
but he will be tried for violating the postal
laws, by using the mails for unlawful pur-
poses.
Worl's scheme evidently was not to sell
counterfeit money for good money, but, as
the officer believes, to make out that he had
some and then fleece the man to whom he
was trying 10 sell it. His alleged method
was to have package OF brown paper with
q good S. bill on top and 81 bill under
meath. He would show this to the person
with whom he was negotiating, and claim
ing there was $500 worth of counterfeit
money in the pile, the same as the s. bill,
he would sell the package for S1OO. Telling
the man not to open the package until he
got to his room, for fear of detection, Worl,
might skip out. When the dupe opened the
package he would have about Sc worth of
good money for his 500. Worl is a native
Of Latrobe.
