A DRAIN ON THE COUNTRY.
MIR. Chance Thinks Americans VIII Spend
S2,OOO,OOO In Europe.

Mr.. Mahlon Chance, of the Republican
Tariff League. is at the Monopgahela House.
He claims that the present depression in busi-
ness is the result of Cleveland's administration,
and is produced by the undervaiuations in the
Custom Houses. He believes that after Harri-
son has ruled two years. the people will see a
great difference.
Under Cleveland" said he. .'the importa-
tions were heavy, and the balance of trade
largely against US This shows that our indus
tries were suffering, and we are now feeling
the bad effects. One Of the greatest drains on
this country is the rage for foreign travel. I
believe Americans will spend e 00o, 900 in Eu-
rope this summer. They buy heavily and
practically smuggle their goods through the
custom houses. In return for all this there are
very few foreigners who visit America, and
when they do come here they spend little
money.
1.-THE Tariff League is making an effort to
have specific, and not ad valorem, duties inn
posed. Under the ad valorem system the
chances for fraud are great, and people are not
slow to take advantage Of these opportunities" !"

AN OLD LANDMARK RAZED.
The Residence of the Late james Kelly, in
Williamsburg, Pulled Down.

The late James Kelly's residence in wilkins.
burg, one of the oldest houses in Allegheny
county, is being pulled down at last. The
building was condemned some time ago by the
borough authorities, because it was standing
over the street.
The building was erected in 17sl by planter
from West Virginia. who came to Williamsburg
and started a plantation. He had number of
slaves, who lived all around the plantation.
The house was a large stone building, the ma
teriai being heavy boulders taken from the
creek near by. From this planter the property
came into the hands of Mrs. McNair and then
Mr. Kelly got hold of the house. He lived
there with his family until he died. when the
Bank of Commerce became the owners of
Kelly's property, but they allowed Kelly's chill
dren to live in the old homestead during their
lifetime.

THE OLD BOARD RESIGNS.


The Formal Change in Manngeme of the
Birmingham COMPANY Has Taken Place
History of the Old Company.
Tue old board of the Birmingham Street
Car line met yesterday afternoon in con-
junction with the new organization, in the
office of w. w. Patrick, on Fifth avenue.
Mr.. Patrick, as President of the road,
was asked to act as chairman. The meeting
being opened, all the members of the old
board rendered their designations, one after
another. The gentlemen of the old board
Messrs. Charles H. Clark, B. Wolf, Jr.,
Alexander NimIck, William NJ. Hirsh and
w. W. Patrick-then stepped out and the
new board was organized.
1t is composed of Messrs. n. Sellers
Mckee, Thomas Mckee, d. Brickell, james
A. Chambers and Frank MCGOWAN. Mr..
H. Sellers Mckee was elected President,
Mr.. Brickell Secretary and Mr.. Murray
Werner General Manager.
The birmingham company is one OF the
Oldest street car corporations in the two
cities, having been organized in 1859, with
Mr.. Beltzhoover as President. For period
of 20 years the road made but little money;
but from the very time that Mr.. Patrick was
elected President, In 1879, the property rose
in value, and since then has been consid-
cred one of the best lines in the city. About
ten years ago the company purchased the
Birmingham Short Line for $50, 900, which
made the company sole owner of all street
car franchises to the Southside. The equip
ment of the road has always been consid-
cred one of the best in the United States.
Mr. Patrick, great lover of horses, took a
special pride in them, and frequently he
was seen on the drivers seat handling the
reins himself.
The capital stock of the old company was
but $500, 900. Increasing it to 81, 900, 900
evidently means business in more ways
than one

AN ACRE TO SCRUB.
Something About Soap in Our I'm
maculate Temple of Justice.
NO SUBSTITUTE FOR THE LATHER.
How 20 Women and 6 Men Keep Busy ALI
the Time, Chasing Dirt.
CHAT WITH A COURT HOUSE JANITOR

Very vague notions are entertained re-
garding the cleaning up" of our public
buildings, and the number of hands en-
ployed in the service. Yesterday DIS
PATCH reporter swooped down on the Court
House buildings, intent upon ascertaining
these points, and clambered up to the sane
tum. of the genial janitor, Mr.. Mercer. The
room in question is on the second floor, and
has a suspicion of the country lurking about
its vine-clad window and well-kept flowers.
1t is a sort of verdant, sweet-scented oasis in
dreary desert of legal sterility.
Mr.. Mercer was at home, and, as usual,
quite willing to give all the information in
his power. The first question propounded
related to the number of laborers employed.
HE EXPLAINS IT.
"well," said Mr.. Mercer, eve employ
about men and 20 women to do our clean
ing. Three of the men devote their energies
to. the windows and glass, as well as to the
docs, while the remaining are engaged in
carrying ice to the coolers, in sweeping the
rooms and corridors, and in using the hose.
OF the women, are continually scrubbing
the halls; the others get so many rooms
each, to scrub out We have, as you know,
Judges rooms, IL court rooms and the
attorneys room, which, with the other offices,
keep the 20 women pretty constantly en-
ployed,"
Asked regarding wages, Mr.. Mercer stated
that the men receive $50 and the women S25
a month. The staff of laborers is never re-
duced, even when the Judges are not sitting.
Work is never permitted to relax. The
great difficulty in cleaning is found with the
marble floors, which Mr.. Mercer thinks de-
cided mistake in big public building.
The hose is used for cleaning the sidewalks.
Water can be had in the lavatories ON every
floor, and the scrubbing brush and bucket
take the place of the hose.
NOTHING LIKE SOAP.
Mr. Mercer could not even approximate
the amount of soap used by the women; but
he says it is very large. He orders soap, a
dozen boxes at time. With regard to all
substitutes for soap. he condemns them.
Everyone of his laborers declares that soap
is the king of cleaners. A Boston firm sent
him a specimen case of "Savogran;" but,
after fair trial, he found it was of no ac-
count. The women were forced to use soap
as well, aud they pronounced "Savogran" a
distinct failure.
The giant tower is only cleaned once
month. The water which serves to run the
elevators is sent up to the tanks in the attic,
and thence used for the tower.
When Mr.. Mercer had completed his
enumeration, talk was obtained with one
or two of the workmen. They all admitted
that the work is light and we'll distributed,
but declared that they are kept busy all day.

New System of Laying Rails on the Second
Aveuua Line

New System of Laying Rails on the Second
Avenue Line.
The Second Avenue Street Railway is
being relayed and extended to Glenwood.
The system of laying the track is new one
The old manner of spiking the rails to
wooden stringers has been done away
entirely. In the present method the
ties are laid under ground five feet
apart, the entire length of the road. On
each of these are placed two iron chairs, one
at either end and securely bolted to the
timber. The rails are then placed in the
chair. after the ends have been secured by
the regular fish plates, making a road fully
as substantial as a steam railway. 1t is
proposed to run the cars at the rate of 10
miles an hour
