THAT P. & w. RAILROAD DEAL.
Another Story of an Eastern OutIet-Andrew
Carnegie TO Have a Line From New
York TO Chicago.

Another Story of an Eastern Outlet-Andrew
Carnegie TO Have n Line From New
York to Chicago.
Another railroad deal was sprung upon
the public yesterday afternoon. The last
scheme is the purchase of controlling in
terest in the Pittsburg and Western Rail-
road by Andrew Carnegie. By the pur-
chase, it was stated, Mr.. Carnegie would Sc
cure control of a new continuous line from
the seaboard to Chicago,
The fact of the matter is that about six
weeks ago Andrew Carnegie purchased
5000 shares of the stock of the Pittsburg
and Western Railroad, the quotations of
which were then undergoing a kind of
revival, and had an upward tendency. By
the purchase Mr.. Carnegie did not get en-
tire control of the stock of the road,
and from what could be learned
last evening, he had not added
much to his investment since that
time. When he purchased the 35, 900 shares
it was generally understood that his idea of
doing so was to get enough of the stock to
have voice in the management of the road.
The ulterior object was to secure lower
freight rates than he had been getting from
other lines. The Carnegie firms are among
the heaviest shippers in Pennsylvania, and
their freight bills amount to thousands of
dollars daily. Most of this is for ore from
the lakes.
Since purchasing the $4,000 shares of
stock in the Pittsburg and Western, the
firm made a contract with the company for
the transportation of l., 500. 900 tons of iron
ore from the Fairport docks to this city.
The rate secured was very low one, and
was made on account of Mr.. Carnegle's
stock.
A call was made last night upon James
d. Gallery, eldest son of the late president
of the road. Mr.. Gallery stated that he had
no knowledge of Mr.. Carnegie purchasing
controlling interest in the road. Mr.. Cal
lery still represents his fathers interests,
and he had not heard of anybody else SELL
ing.
When asked about the report, Chairman
Abbott, of Carnegie, Phipps & Co, said to
a DISPATCH reporter that he would not say
anything at all about the matter.

DEMANDED SPECIFICATIONS
as to what the colored man had gotten from
the Republican party except where it had
been forced to give. Mr.. Phillips de-
manded that Rev. Jones show how man
working for 81 80 per day and paying $40 a
month rent could ever educate his chill
dren, holding that so long as the present
lines were held they would be cooks, scull-
ions, spittoon cleaners, bod carriers, etc., as
their fathers and grandfathers before them.
Mr.. Phillips was tired of hearing what had
been done for them % years ago. He had
to be fed every day, and couldn't live on
the past.
The rest Of the meeting was of a miscel-
laneous charater. Mr.. Isaac Washington
moved to squelch debate. Broadax also had
something to say. A man In the rear
named Walker had something more. A
dozen or two jumped on Mr.. Walker, telling
him the papers would show the matter up in
bad light, but Mr.. Walker didn't care.
He held that the meeting couldn't be Carl
catured-that such was an impossibility.
and he emphatically refused to be sat down
upon by the Chair. The latter, however,
succeeded finally in announcing that the
motion to squelch had carried and the pre-
amble and resolution were read again and
call was made for more membership. The
CONFUSION became so great tnat AJAX Jones
demanded that the
CHAIR, PRESERVE ORDER
This demand brought Richard Keys to
his feet, and he and Ajax pelted each
other with Cushing's manual. He finally
got Ajax down temporarily on one knee, at
least, and although the latter succeeded in
rising to several points of order, he couldn't
keep his feet. Amid chorus Of points of
order, some one moved that all 20 cents in
arrears be dropped. This sortie had the
effect of partially disrupting the meeting.
and about half of it adjourned and con-
tinued the debate on the sidewalk, and Mr..
Foster suggested that the affair was re-
solving itself into Lime Kiln Club.
Finally. amid q chorus of points of order,
the reading of the constitution and preamble
was concluded, and some members p"id
dues, new ones were received and the
meeting adjourned.

also bounteous giver."
Mrs. Lippincott, not having her books at
her house, could not give the exact figures
of expenditures for a year. Last year
about S12, 800 in cash was expended in the
relief work in Pittsburg. That does not in

etc., given to the society to give away. nor
the cost of maintaining the fresh air home

By a mistake of the reporter, Attorney
McGirr was named in these columns last
Sunday as the plaintiff in the suit against

plaintiff. He is a newspaper man at
McKeesport. Attorney f. c. McGirr, of
this city has nothing to do with the case.

Soon Return Home.
Mrs. Annie Eckel, the mother-in-law of
L. o. Dause, formerly Pittsburg archi-
tect, who disappeared from his home in
Helena, Mont, under mysterious circum-
stances, came to The DISPATCH Office yes
terday with telegram from her daughter,
Mrs. Danse, stating that she had heard from
her husband. and expected him home in a
short time.
Mrs. EckeI has also received a letter
which explains the cause of the young
mans disappearance. Mr.. Danse lately
lost $500 in business transaction with a
contractor in Belena, and the loss of that
sum preyed on his mind to such an extent
that he wandered from home.

THE ROCK Is MISSING,

Built on Sands.
The contractors who are laying the new
sewers on Collins and Negley avenues, and
Broad street, East End, are having great
deal of trouble in their work with quick
sands which abound in that part Of the
city. These sands are found in the
vicinity of the Charles Eble building, which
sank last Sunday. 1t is thought that when
the sewers are laid, great deal of contin-
gent damages from the quicksands will be
obylated.

MANY things have occurred within the
past six months to show the American
workingman the hollow pretenses of the
friendship Of the rich ''protectionist"
beggar. On Saturday there was rumor
that the savings bank of Trenton, N. j.,
had suspended payment. Some one
started the rumor among the Hungarians
working in the Roebling wire mills that
the bank had been robbed and had
suspended payment. The Hungarians
became panic stricken and rushed to
the bank to draw their savings in
such numbers that the great mills Of
John A. Roebling's Sons and Company
had to shut down. Steel wire is pro
tected by prohibitory tariff. Foreign
wire cannot be sold here at all. The
wire mills united in a smooth wire pool
