WESTINGHOUSE NOT IN 1T.
officials of the Local Company Never
Heard of the Electric Tru.f

Never
Heard of the Electric Tru.t,
A telegram from Boston yesterday stated that
the Edison and Thomson. Houston Electric
Companies were about to form a trust, and
that overtures had been made to the Westipp.
house people to join with them. 1t was also
claimed that the Westinghouse Company
would not be unwilling. The capital stock
would be S5O.0O000O on which a dividend of 10
per cent could be realized and both the electric
light and railway interests would be combined
in the business.
George Westinghouse, Jr., and Superintend-
ent Pease are out of the city, but Mr. Twom-
bley who is next in authority in the local COM
pany, said yesterday, when asked about it, that
the proposed trust was news to him, and SO far
as his company was concerned they were not
in it, He thought it was the usual canard got
ten up one day to be denied the next. Other
electricians do not take much stock in the al
legged combination. Westinghouse has been
such vigorous opponent of EdIson's that it is
believed that neither inventor would ever pull
together. Indeed Mr.. Edison. when here last
year, said that he would never sell out to the
Westinghouse Company or enter INTO a trust
with them.

HAPPY LITTLE MAIDEN.


Little Sadie Rowbottom, of 226 Washing
ton avenue, Allegheny, held the lucky No.
A. in the Everett Piano Club, this week,
and received a magnificent upright grand
piano. Sadie's father thought she ought to
have piano, but did not like to spare the
money out OF his business; SO he invested 81
per week, in the Everett Club for ladies.
and the little lady is delighted. She re-
ce1ves for $3.50. a piano which retails for
S425, and only pays 81 per week. The
Everett Club system is playing havoc with
the old style of retailing pianos at ex-
tortionate prices, as the club buys $50
pianos, thus saving S75 to each member,
and members can pay in the way most con-
venient to themselves. If you want piano,
Just call and see the Everett. 1t is the
finest upright piano made. You can also
see lot of other makes, the Weber,
Chickering, Hazelton. Haines Bros, and
others which have been taken in exchange;
you can buy these at almost any price.
Call or send for circular to the Manager,
Alex Ross, 137 Federal street, Allegheny.

RAILROAD DEVELOPMENT,
Northwestern Lines Contemplate Extensive

Improvements.
General Manager j. T. Gardner, of the Gin
cinnati, Sandusky and Mack1nac road, was in
the city yesterday looking up freight matters
and buying supplies. MIR. Gardner said that all
the Northwestern roads contemplated extern
sive Improvements this summer. The possi-
bilities of freight are increasing
SO rapidly that the lines are beginning to find
that they haven't the facilities to cope with
the traffic. Many of the roads are being ex-
tended. new towns are springing up. and coal
and iron fields are being developed. He looks
forward to period OF great prosperity.
Mr. Gardner said that in the event of the
Worlds Fair going to Chicago, the Western
lines intended to greatly increase their facili-
ties for carving freight and passengers. A
plan was on foot to adopt a general system of
cheap excursions is accommodate the people.

There was no special celebration of the forty
third anniversary of the econsecration of Bishop
O'Connor at the Mercy Hospital yesterday,
where the sick Bishop is lying nigh unto
death.
The only thing that would 60 to show the day
to be one of any Importance was the fact that
a very large amount of flowers were sent to the
sick Bishops room. The sweet scent of the
fragrant flowers seemed to have an invigor-
ating effect as Bishop O'Connor rested very
comfortably all day and his condition last night
was little improved.

Co,1ntrv Funerals.

A funeral in a country town is always a
melancholy thing, much more so than in the
midst of a great city, where the multitude OF
living, instead of offering. as might be sup
posed, strange and startling contrast to the
procession of the dead, seems to carry away all
thought of mortality upon the tide of anima-
ton and the only fitting and seasonable observa-
ton is, "Lol another drop of water gone from
the ocean,"
Almost every circumstance is to man, in
general, very little impressive, except by its
associations, which are the channels whereby
the events that occur to others apply them
selves to our own hearts; and the general
moral that we must all die is the only one
suggested by the sight of death in large city.
But in a village or hamlet or small neighbor-
hood, a funeral has, in general, a thousand
associating ties with the mind of every one
who beholds it, bringing it near both to feel
ing and generous and to selfish hearts.
One man, when he sees his companion borne
to the grave, thinks of the boyish days of
happiness which he has spent with him, and
looks back upon the past with regret; Another
mourns him, cut off early before his family
are provided for, leaving widow or parents
behind Another thinks, 'He was my school
fellow, and he is gone; it may be my turn
next" So each reads his comment in turn;
each feels an interest in the man he has per-
sonally known; and gloom and darkness for
q time take possession of every heart.

MEN WHO MISS THE TRAIN.
BY S. W. FOSS.

loaf aroun the deepos just to see the Pullman
scOOt,
An to see the people scamper wen they hear
the engine toot;
But what makes the most impression on my
som'w'at active brain,
Is the careless men who get there jest in time to
miss the train.
An'some cuss the railroad com'ny an'some loudly
cuSs their stars,
An some jest gallop down the track an try to
An some with loud laff an joke will poultice
up their pain;
Var'us kin's er people get there jest In time 10
miss the train.
An there is many deepos an flag stations 'ithout
name,
Along the Grand Trunk railroad that leads to
wealth and fame;
An men rush to those deepos as fast as they can
AS the train of Opportunity jest goes a-thun-
derin' by.
They rush down to the station with their hair all
AS the platform of the tail-end car goes whirlin'
'roun' the bend;
An some men groan an cry aloud. an some con-
Wen they find that they have got there jest in
time to miss the train.
But the cars puff through the valleys an go
a-whirlin' by,
An float their banners of w'ite smoke like flags
They leap the aowin' rivers an through the tun-
An cross the Mountains of Despair to the Table
land of Hope.
The Grand Trunk Railroad of Success, it runs
But the cars of Opportunity they go on schedule
time,
An never are their brakes reversed; they won't
back up again,
To take the men who got there jest in time to
miss the train.

Causes ofDeath.

Shakespeare says, 'Men have died and worms
have eaten them, but not for love-" Some one
else says very few men die of age. Death is
the result of disappointment, personal. mental
or bodily toll, or accident. We often see the
strong man cut down SUDDENLY, and the inva-
lid living his four-score years and ten. The
fact is that the strong man uses up his strength,
and the weak one nurses the little given him.
The passions certainly shorten life, and some
times suddenly end it. "Choked" with pas
sion is very often not an exaggeration. The
lower animals which live temperate lives have
their prescribed term of years. The horse
lives twenty-five years, theox fifteen or twenty,
the hog ten or twelve, the rabbit eight or nine,
the guinea-pig six or seven. The numbers all
bear proportion to the time the animal takes to
grow its full size. Man is the only animal that
seldom comes up to the average. He ought to
live one hundred years, according to the phys
biological law, for five times twenty are one
hundred, but he scarcely reaches an average of
four times the growing period. To sum it all
up, man is the most hard-worhing and labor
ious of animals. also the most irregular and
intemperate. He is irritable, and often wears
out, or is consumed by the fire of his own re-
Elections.

"Private" Aliens War Stories.

Congressman Allen, of Mississippi, never
tires of telling funny tales about the
war Here are two: A Confederate soldier
in a certain regiment had become noted for
running away from every fight. On one occa-
sion his captain found him in line as an unex- @
pected attack opened. Standing behind him,
the captain drew his pistol, and said:
''Now, John, up to this time you have run
from every fight. You have disgraced your
self on all occasions. Now, if you stir from
the line this time intend to shoot you dead.
| shall stand here, right behind you, and if
you start to run shall certainly kill YOU"
John heard the captain through, and, draw
ing himself up to an unusual height, replied
"Wall, captain, you may shoot me if you
like, but I'll never give any low down Yankee
the privilege of doing it."
AT Murfreesborough a Confederate soldier
was rushing to the rear with all the speed
he could command. An officer hailed him
and sneeringly inquired why he was running
so fast away from the Yankees. The soldier
without stopping, yelled back:
because can't f1y."

Hard Upon the Clergy.

ut seems that in Prussia people who are de-
sirous to be divorced are not allowed to petition
until the parson of the district has given them
both good talking-to. If he fails to persuade
them to make it up, they may apply to the
courts"
Is not this rather hard upon the parson? 1t
is like making joiner come into house and
argue that his work sticks together, when it
nOtoriouSly does not.

nature to endear domestic life to man, to make

eRA hearty laugh, occasionally, is
an act of wisdom; it shakes the cobwebs out
of mans brains and the hypochondria from
his ribs far more effectually than either cham
payne or blue pills. One Of the emperors of

erately laughing, on being told that the Amer
