SEEKING A SHORTER ROUTE.

PitIsburg and Western Engineers ht Work
survsyIng a I.Ine-It VIII Take In
Brunoi's and Neville Islnnds--Connoc.
Hons with the Fort Wayne and Lake
Erie.
Engineer Patterson. with corps OF en-
gineers, yesterday commenced the survey OF
o line from the lower end ol Neville Island,
that means an ultimate extension OF the
Pittsburg and Western Road to New
Castle, paralleling the Fort Wayne road.
The Pittsburg and Western now has q
roundabout road to New Castle, but q
shorter and more direct route to that city is
preferred. The road is also anxious to catch
the trade of the two islands, Brunot and
Neville, and In addition, by building the road
according to the present plan mapped out,it will
touch both the Ft. Wayne and Lake Erie
tracks. Short sidIngs can easily be built from
the latter lines to the one proposed, and the OBJ
ject is to secure transfer of freight from all
tho roads interested without breaking bulk
Large quantities of coke and other materials
ar Q shipped to New Castle and the Mahoning
and Shenango Valleys now, but none Of the
roads are very direct
extends as far down the river as the peniten-
tiary. The prospective Coraopolis and Neville's
Island road will not be built, but instead. the
river branch Of the Pittsburg and Western
will be extended by means of bridge across
Brunots Island to the Lake Erie road. 1t will
then be run between the Lake Erie and the
river to Neville's Island, and by q bridge to a
sand bar below tho island and from that point
will cross the Ft Wayne at grade. Tho line
will be continued for some distance along the
river, paralleling the Fr. Wayne, but will ulti-
mately reach New Castle.
Two thousand building lots are to be plotted
at once on Nevilles Island, so of them having
already been sold. The island is to be beauti-
fed by the syndicate that lately obrained con-
troll of it, and Pittsburg will thus have another
and quite accessible residence suburb.

TRYING To GUST wYMAN.

Hearing IN the Allegheny Mnyora,ty Con.
Iesi--An Objsctor Whs Could Civ. HoI.
man Points-Assessors' Lists In Four
Wards Put In Evidence.
The first hearing In the Stayton- W yman
contest, to determine the question as TO
which Is Mayor Of Allegheny, was laid be.
fore Commissioner John d. Shafer Yesterday
afternoon. Messrs. Wyman ana Stayton
were present, and for the former Frank Ben
nett, Of Hughey & Bennett, appeared, and
w. J. Bremen took care of Mr.. Stayton's
| interest.
The proceedings began with hitch, and
during the entire session the great Objector
Holman might have gotten points from Mr..
| Bennett, who contented himself with offering
| objections from opening to close.
As soon as the case was opened, Joe Kraus
reported that he had endeavored TO subpoena
Prothonotary Bradley aud have him produce
him, and that Chief Clerk Andrew jackson
McQuItty refused to obey any orders except
was sent TO treat with Mr.. McQuitty, and
though he appeared ut Mr.. Shafer's bar, he
was as inhexible as his great namesake at tho
time he declared that ..the Union must and
that he would 20 into court to-day and get an
order for the production Of the books
Mr.. p. w. Siebert, Chief Clerk in the County
Commissioners office, was put on tho stand.
He produced the list of names of persons who
voted In the first four wards Of Allegheny ut
the Mayoralty election. Mr.. Bennett objected
to their reception rs evidence unless the pur-
pose was disclosed, and Mr.. Bremen stated
that 1t was the intent to show that large num-
ber OF unregistered people had voted illegally.
As the lists from each ward were exhibited
separately and Mr. Bennett filed his objection
each time and had It noted, It will suffice to
drop that feature at this point. Mr.. Siebert
said the lists had been made by the Registry
Assessors In June 1889. and the work had been
done under his supervision.
AS Mr.. Seberr stated that the lists had been
used by all political parties as data, and in the
vote on the prohibition amendment Mr.. Ben
nett again objected to their acceptance as evil
dence until 1t was proven that they were cor
rect. He said the people objected to might
have had a right to vote.
MIR. Bremen said the lists must be put in evil
dence in order to get the right to have the. bal
lot boxes opened.
Mr.. Bennett said he noticed that the lists
were not those as originally made by the asses.

dered the band to resume playing, and all the
made of them. and Mr.. Bremen decided to go
no further until Mr.. Shafer could get an order
Of Court on Mr.. Bradley to produce the poll
books.
Mr.. McQuitty was sent for the second time,
and he came and smiled comprehensively, but
he didn't submit the evidence asked for.

BOOMING THE MAJOR.

Meeting IN Mayor GourIev's Once TO Con.

hIoutooth's Cnndidncy-Thc Young Mems
Tariff club Fail Of Rnihu-insm.
A number OF gentlemen gathered In
Mayor Gourley's private Office, yesterday
afternoon, 10 consider the methods to be
adopted to further Major K. A. Montooth's 9
candidacy in the Governorship, Among
those present were: Messrs. w. R. and 81.
p. Ford, II. +. Davis, j. p. Andrews, @.
f. jain, w. II. McCleary, II. l.. Mason.
George Holiday, George Campbell and
Mayor Gourley.
Mr.. Campbell expected the meeting to be
sort Of general meeting of the whole gen.
eral committee, and in speech Of consider
able length, dwelt upon the lack OF interest
shown, but he was soon convinced Of his mis-
take and OF the deep sincerity OF the Montooth
movement shown by speeches OF Mayor Gour-
ley, Mr. II. p. Ford. q. r. jain and J. p. An
drews.
As explained by Mr.. H. y. Davis the object
OF the meeting was to organize permanently
and add TO the membership OF tho committee
TO 20 to Harrisburg in Major Montooths be-
half. Mr.. Jahn stated that the Tariff Club had
already q roll of 200 persons who would go to
Harrisburg. HIS understanding was that this
Committee on Organization was to add to the
list of persons who were to 20 TO Harrisburg
from outside the political clubs. He thought
the business mon OF the city should go and
show that it was not SO much political as
general movement In Major Montooth's behalf
BY the citizens OF Allegheny county.
As there did not appear to be perfect under
standing OF the meeting, Mr.W. r. Ford moved
that a meeting be called for Saturday night in
Common Council chamber at which the
presence Of the full membership OF the Organ
ization Committee would be specially requested
as well as all friends of Major Montooth.
The motion was unanimously carried and it
was decided that az the meeting committees
will be appointed as follows: A committee on
headquarters, who will go TO Harrisburg and
open headquarters and secure hotel accom-
modations for the Montooth delegates; a
rates and railroad accommodations for the
delegates and such business men and friends
of the Majors as may go to the convention in
his behalf; finance committee to raise money
for the expenses of the affair, and a printing
committee to attend to whatever printing may
be necessary.
Speeches were made, showing Major Mon
tooth's claims TO the nomination Of the Repub-
lican party for Governor. and the meeting
adjourned with a very enthusiastic feeling per-
vading for the meeting at City Hall tomorrow
night.
The Young Mems Republican Tariff Club
of the committees appointed week ago to
make arrangements for attending the State
Convention in the interest of Maj jor Montooth.
The committees reported progress. Several
speeches were made and much enthusiasm was
manifested

ECHOES OF THE GLAsswoRKERs' CASE.

The strike Of employees OF the N ational Tube
Works, at McKeesport, was settled yesterday.
The strikers will return to work this morn
ing, and there was great rejoicing in the
borough last night, in consequence.
A large and enthusiastic meeting OF the
men was held yesterday afternoon, in
Whites Opera House. 1t would have been
larger, but for the fact OF Forepaugh's circus
being in town, and the show captured nearly
everybody, including several thousand
strikers.
The gathering was presided over by
James Rowan, and Thomas Mckinley was
Secretary. After q number of speeches on
the last proposition Of General Manager
Converse, it was decided to take vote as
to whether they would return to work or
stay out. The ballot was secrst, and was
almost unanimously in favor Of accepting
the company's proposition.
ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY.
When the result of the meeting was an
nornced, committee waited upon Assistant
General Manager j. T. Pierce, who was in
charge In the absence Of General Manager
Converse, The committee stated that the
men had decided to 60 to work, provided it
was satisfactory to the company, and allow
the Arbitration Board to settle the different
rates OF wages to be paid in each depart
ment.
Mr.. Pierce said the result Of the meeting
was perfectly satisfactory, and the men
could 60 to work at once. He said every
mans Job would be there when they went
for it, and the fact that the men had struck
would not initiate against them.
A fter the committee had departed Mr.
Pierce said to DISPATCH representative:
"The strikers have accepted our proposition
and will go to work in the morning. The
old rate of wages will be paid, and If the
Arbitration Committee finds that other mills
are paying more than we are doing, we will
advance our men, and the advanced rate will
date from the time they began work.
GLAD 1T IS SETTLED.
I'VE do not think there is a pipe mill in
the country paying higher wages than we
are doing, but if It is found that we are
wrong in this assertion, we will advance our
men. / am glad the matter has been settled.
1t is satisfactory to the company as well as the
men,"
Another general meeting of the employees
will be held next Sunday, when the two men,
bers of the Arbitration Committee will be ap-
pointed, The company will pick two men, and
the four will choose fifth While the com.
mlttee is investigating the wages paid at other
mills, the company will pay the men for their
time. and will bear all expenses. The Arbitra.
tian Committee will begin work Monday MORN
ing, and make report In about one week.
