The Complaints of Passengers
who Were i'm the Blockades.
NEW RIO GRANDE WESTERN CARS.
They arc Models of Beauty-The Pei
Diem Question-Personal and Gen.
eral Pointers.

The California papers which were de-
tanned in the blockade on the Central Pa
cific have commenced to arrive. and from a
perusal of them we learn that not half of
the horrors were told. There is little room
for doubt but that all who figured in tie
blockade will remember it as long as life
lasts.
Of the blockade at Baker city, Oregon, a
gentleman who was passenger, has this
to say: my train was detained for nine
days at Baker city, on the Oregon Short
Line of the Union Pacific Baker city is
about fifteen hours from Portland, and
there were thirty miles of snow on the line
A telegram was sent to Omaha for plow,
and SIX days later it arrived, and opened
the road within three days. In the
meantime, trains began to arrive at Baker
city, until there we're 800 passen-
gers blockaded. After waiting for two
days the passengers made a united demand
on the railroad company for meals. The
company ordered that they be furnished
two meals daily, and then secured bids
from the different eating houses. An in
ferior establishment offered to furnish
meals at 1715 cents and was awarded the
contract. Thereafter the passengers were
supplied with two very poor meals day
and bought third meal when they became
too hungry. The passengers of the differ
ent cars Were crowded together until, in
one case, a smoker contained fifty eight
first-class passengers, who Were not pro
vided with sleeper tickets. More than half
of these were women and children. They
remained in the car night and day, without
attention, until the car got to be in hor-
rible condition. Then the passengers made
another protest. A committee visited the
railroad agent, another committee reported
the condition of things to the chief of
police, and third committee made pro-
test to 1the doctors. So strong feeling
was produced in the community that the
railroad people ordered the women and
children taken to hotel for accommoda-
tons. When the blockade was finally
raised, Of the 800 passengers Il were
under doctors care and three had died. -
OF the blockade at Pocatello another pas
senger says: There was no bed to be had
at any price, and besides it was very cold.
Men and women were crowded into the
small waiting room to remain there day
and night. Quite comfort it was for all
of US to sleep on the cold, damp floor.
When we hunted up the railway officials
and asked for better accommodations we
got no satisfaction. Finally we arrived at
Granger, where we were crowded into one
coach, with hardly any fire in it and full of
smoke. When we got to Green River it
was about II pm, and we were moved to
a sidetrack and kept there until Monday
evening. We asked for beds but could get
none. We received no satisfaction at all

Rio Grande Western Cars.

Since the Rio Grande Western railway
standard gauge line Will shortly be COM
pleted, description of the elegant day
coaches, which have already arrived, will
doubtless be of interest to western people,
says the Denver NcCS, many of whom will
take an early opportunity to test the merits
of these wonders of the car builders art
These elegant coaches are fifty-one feet
long, nine feet eight inches wide; roofs are
Pullman's standard, arranged for vesti-
bule; they are ventilated by patent devices
over the doors.
The interior is finished in mahogany,
with antique oak head lining. These woods
are the finest productions, and especially
selected for the work. The seats are the
johnson patent with high back and roll top;
each car is upholstered in different colOred
finest sill; pushes, crimson, old gold. olive
and turquoise blue The seat can be shifted
from one side to another without turning
over in the old way. Satchel baskets are
of intricate bronze work. The aisles are
carpetei with the finest body brussels
carpets of special design and color, har-
moniZing with the different pushes. One
end of the car is provided with 6x7 foot
smoking saloon, upholstered in Turkish
morocco leather; elegant beveled plate
glass mirrors are within and without the
smoking room. The windows are extra
large, and of extra French plate glass, and
provided with damask curtains The
smoking end of the car is arranged with
toilet conveniences for gentlemen. At the
other end is ladies' retiring room com
pletely equipped with all toilet convent
ences. The cars are lighted with gas, and
each car is equipped with five handsome
bronze gas lamps of four burners each. all
enclosed in glass, which makes brilliant
and beautiful light, and enables passengers
to read as well by night as by day. The
coaches are heated by steam from the en-
CINE, and also contain an improved Baker
heater, to be used in case of emergency.
The vestibule platforms are equipped
with cog wheel brakes instead of the old
chain device, which gives the BRAKEMAN a
much greater and safer leverage should
anything happen to the air brake. The
wheels are thirty-siX inch steel plate, the
Page patent, with Otis steel collarless
axles, Pullman's patent, Michigan Central
brake beams and latest improved trucks
With these devices under the car there is
scarcely perceptible jar, assuring to pas
sengers perfect ease and comfort.
The master mechanic of the st. Louis,
Alton & Terre Haute railway, who was
formerly with the Pennsylvania Railway
company, pronounces them the handsomese
day coaches he has ever seen on any line.
In fact this is the unanimous opinion of all
who have seen them.

A TALK BY THE WAYsTDE.
Lieutenant Governor Ray Says Deal About
the Fair.

Lieutenant Governor Ray Says Deal About
the Fair.
Lieutenant Governor Lyman B. Ray, of
Ottawa, ILL.,, General W. C. Newberry,
General John G. Smith and Mayor Cregier,
of Chicago, returned homeWard from Wash
ington last evening, where they had been in
the interests of Chicago's efforts to secure
the Worlds Fair. In the course of few
minutes talk Mr.. Ray said that if vote
could be taken on the question tomorrow
he thought Chicago would have a quiet
victory, but as it was the matter was
still in the realms of doubt. His
own opinion was that they need not
fear their opponents, but until the
question was finally decided that they did
not mean to relax their vigilance on the
Congressional proceedings. He thought
thas the Senate would have the matter in
hand in a couple of weeks; that body would
report to the House, and then the bill would
GO back again to the SeDate, when the coun-
try would hear something. New York's
views had been ably presented by Chauncey
M. Depew, Bourke Cochran and Warner
Miller. There was Just possibility of Con-
gress deciding not to have fair at all, but
Mr.. Ray thought it was hardly probable the
matter would fall through now.
Referring to Illinois political affairs, Mr.
Raw said that ne heard little dissatisfac-
tion expressed about the slowness with
which the President was filling offices in
Chicago, which there was no reason could
not have been filled before. He said that
President Harrison's reputation for careful
ness was on the increase. The recent en-
largement of the eity's limits would not
affect its political complexion; the result
would be stand-of.

FIGURING ON THF COKE SCALE.
The superintendenrs al the Works Give the
Men Same DATA

The SnperintendenEs at the Works Give the
Men Some Data.
! The superintendents of the coke companies
have prepared comparative statement of
the wages paid under the existing and pro-
posed scale, and submitted it to the workers.
They claim that with the addition of other
charges. not particularized In the schedules
following, that the total advance in mining
prices would be 80 per cent.
The superintendents claim that it amounts
to a proposition to abandon part of the
ovens at about one-half of the works in the
region, and that a large number of men
would consequently be thrown idle. They
claim that determinations are made against
men working in some Of the mines, and that
blacksmiths and carpenters, who need not
be very skilled. will receive as
high pay as a fully experienced
mechanic. Other mechanics are classed
in the same way. They say that under
the scale they could not advance the price
of coke to enable them to pay the increased
demand, as was done formerly, because it
would cost more on the minimum rate to
produce ton Of coke, and that, as wages
are to be increased in proportion to the price
of coke, they would be no better off with 81
than we are with 81 80.

What the Packets and Towboats Are Doing

The water in the harbor had fallen yester-
day to 10 ieet Rivermen do not think it
will go any lower.
The Louis A. Shirley broughtin Saturday
morning 10 bales of cotton, the largest
shipment this season. The cotton was con-
signed to the Penn Cotton Mill in Alle-
gheny. The same boat brought in 1856 bar
rels of cane molasses from Louisiana So
large cargo was taken on by the packet
that it did not get out night before last until
after II o'clock. The Rainbow will be in
from Cincinnati this morning.
The keystone State, which is now build
ing at Harmer, will be out by February 1.
1t will take the run on the Cincinnati
Packet line now made by the Rainbow, and
that vessel will replace the Chancellor. The
latter is too small and slow for the packet
business. Captain James A. Henderson,
who owns the chief interest in the keystone
State, went to Harmer Saturday night. The
new packet will be a 70O-ton boat and a
thorough beauty in every way.
Rivermen are complaining again that
Harbor Master William Crawford does not
properly look after the wharf along the
Monongahela front. All sorts of rubbish
are allowed to lie upon the wharf, not only
looking bad, but being in the way of team
sters who drive TO the wharf boats. Near
Wood street there is large heap of old
barrels, chicken coops and timber, which
have been there for over a month. Com
plants against the harbor master are fire.

DRESSED IN THEIR BEST.

The Randall Club Departs TO Do the HonOrs
With Campbell.
The Randall Club last night got together
in its quarters on Sixth avenue preparatory
to starting for Ohio to take part in the in
auguration of Governor Campbell to-day at
Columbus, o. There were 142 tickets paid
for, and one OF the most untoward circum-
stances in the history of the club was the
fact that so of its members had been laid up
with the grip.
There were therefore only 80 men in line
when the club fell in. The majestic figure
of General Pressly n. Guthrie loomed up
in front as captain, with Thomas j. Wallace
and w. j. Wright as first and second lieu
tenants. Stephen F. Foley filled his old
position as orderly sergeant, and with the
Great Western Band in front, 80 pieces
strong, marched for the B. & o. depot
As the club passed its dearest enemy, the
Tariff Clubs headquarters, large number
of the members, with John n. Neeb's
stalwart figure as a center piece, saluted the
passing club with quiet Sabbatarian,ap-
plause, which testified to the good will eX-
isting between the rival organizations.
Messrs. Ed Smith and Gregory, ticket
agents of the Baltimore and Ohio, took
charge of the party at their special train,
which left the depot at $50 P. NJ. and is ex-
pected to arrive in Columbus at $50 A. NJ.
to-day. The parade through the principal
streets was made as short as possible to avoid
disturbing places of worship on the route.

MONSTER CATHOLIC PARADE.

The Date to be Appointed at the Next
KIeeting-FuIly %. 1000 Men in Line.
A conference of the Catholic societies of
Allegheny, to the number of 400, assembled
last night at the Uniformed Knights Hall,
Sixteenth street, to organize committee to
arrange for monster parade. The follow
ing committee was appointed: D. j. Nc
Kelvey, Chairman, w. A. Golden, John
Mcfarland, John Thoma, Joseph Rosinski
and j. j. Mcclure.
The meeting was of an enthusiastic char
acter. During the course of the speeches,
frequent demonstrations were witnessed OF
the veneration with which the Catholics
hold the American institution. The parade
promises to be large; it is thought that at
the least calculation $4,000 Catholics will
turn out on that day. "This great parade"
said one of the committeeman, twill be a
vindication, and powerful attestation of
Catholic loyalty.

ADVICE TO PARENTS.

Father Smith, the Pnulist, Tells Mothers
How TO Raise Children.
The mission for the male members of st.
Agnes Church, at Soho, began yesterday
afternoon. The women's mission closed in
the morning, with a sermon by Father
Smith, the gifted orator of the Paulists'
order. The sermon was addressed to and
for the benefit of mothers. The reverend
Father gave some wholesome advice to
parents about how to raise their children.
He said that it was necessary for the chill
dren to receive instruction at home, or they
could not be expected to grow up as dutiful
sons and daughters. Some parents, he said,
were satisfied with sending their children to
school and church, but this did not suffice
He said bad men and women were the nat
ural consequence of lack of instruction in
early youth.
During the week over 1000 women of the
congregation attended the mission and re-
ceived the sacrament The men were chal-
lenged yesterday to do as we'll. AS result
the church was packed to sufocation last
night. Father Corcoran, pastor of the
church, is exceedingly well pleased with
the success of the mission.

He Makes a Pien for tho DiffasIOn Of
Higher Education.
The Rev. DR.. Marsh, of Mount Union
University, preached last night at Butler
Street NJ. E. Church. on the subject OF
higher education. The sermon, which was
ably handled, was based on a verse from
Proverbs, 'Lay hold on instruction"
The learned doctor started out by paying a
high tribute to the power of the human
mind. He then drew difference between
the specifically and thoroughly cultured
intellect. He made an earnest plea for peo-
pie to send their children to college. He
said:
1.-THE men who rise to the pinnacle of fame
in the ministry have been to college, and
the same holds good in all the professions.
In medicine, law. journalism, painting, or
any branch of business, the best men are
those who have been to college. They are
the men who will invariably be in the
front"

expected that Allen would be brought back
to Pittsburg for examination. Of himself
he knew nothing beyond what Detective
Sol Coulson had reported, as presented in
Sundays DISPATCH. He knew the records
of Grifen and Conroy and was satisfied that
either of them was capable of committing
the crime, but was not satisfied that they
had done so.
The following special was received last
night from Steubenville:

bers now in custody at Steubenville, asked this

the account there of the Tightening of the coils

noting the picture there of ''Nosey Allen, /"
whom, it is SAID by Detective Coulson, that he
is, he became visibly agitated and nervous
During the day he has manifested much un-
easiness. This evening he requested the Sheriff
TO change his cell on account of rheumatism,
and some of the older officers here think he is
ANXIOUS to make his escape If possible. 1t is
possible for confederates to get at his window
where he is, and he may be put into higher
corridor,
