Several Fast Trains to be Put on the Road
In the Spring.
Mr.. j. B. Hutchinson, the new superin-
tendent of the West Penn road, is proving
himself to be a man of great energy. He
formerly had charge of the Altoona division
of the Pennsylvania road. Mr.. Hutchinson
is determined to'put the tracks of the West
Penn road into such shape that high rate
of speed can be attained. The grading for
the double track as far as the Allegheny
river is about completed, and the rails will
soon be laid.
1t is not the intention to double-track the
entire road at once, as has been reported. A
little will be done at time. Between the
main line and the FG Wayne road the
West Penn is often taxed beyond its capac-
ity. Mr.. Hutchinson intends to change the
passenger schedules in the spring, and one
of the things contemplated is the introduc-
tion of several fast trains. The patrons of
the road will welcome all such Innovations.

STAGE CARPENTER REEDS DEATH

Caused by Pneumonia and Fall of Year
Ago.
Edward Reed, stage carpenter of the
Opera House, died at the Mercy Hospital
yesterday at 10 A. NJ. His death was the
result of a combination of ailments. On
January of last year Mr.. Reed, while
working on the stage, fell through trap,
head first, to the boilers below, distance of
30 feet he was believed to be fatally in
jured at the time, but recovered. and in
few weeks was able to resume work, al
though still very weak man. He never
regained perfect health, and some weeks
ago was attacked BY the grip, which de-
veloped into pneumonia, with which he
suffered until Friday last, when his condi-
ton became so serious that he was removed
to the institution named, where he died yes
terday as stated.
The doctors agreed that although the main
cause of his demise was undoubtedly the
disease mentioned it was materially assisted
by his weakened condition, resulting from
the accident a year ago. He had no rela-
tives in this city, but a brother, who lives in
North Andover, Mass, was informed of his
death by telegraph, and will arrive in tie
city to-day. The body may be removed
there for interment.

THE RUSSIAN TRAVELLER.
George KEENAN, to Lecture on Siberian Te

George Kennan to Lecture on Siberian Tent
Life and Russian Exiles.
George Kennan, the Russian traveller, is
well and favorably known. His heroic
work in Siberia has gained for him world
wide reputation.
In this city, where he is to give two lee
lures next week at Old City Hall, the in
terest in his work has been unbounded, and
there is certainty that a great audience
will greet him on each occasion. On Tues
day evening next he will lecture on "Tent
Life in Eastern Siberia" and on Wednes-
day evening on Russian Political Exiles,"
the latter lecture being illustrated with
many graphic stereopticon pictures. These
lectures are under the auspices of the Press
Club, whose well-known popular policy of
low prices will be, as heretofore, faithfully
adhered to. The seats are 75 and 80 cents,
and are now ready at Kleber's.

SOME OTHER VIEWS.
Another said: "Some people will make
trouble before long. This admission of
married people is a relaxing of the
rules that will be taken advantage of
and it is the beginning of the end. Mark
nv words. There will be dissolution be-
fore many years, or the society will be
forced to buy some people off, as it
did that famous Count and his party, years
ago." Another said the married people
admitted would net be forced to live life
of celibacy. The members refused to dis
cuss the matter, so their views on this head
were not ascertained.
DR.. Felcht, one of the new members. was
once connected with the society and its ply
sician, but grew tired of the restraint, and
married. 1t is said he has stated that he
made mistake; not that he regrets his mar
riage, but thinks he fell short of his duty.

SUSPECTED OF ROBBERY.
Three Men Released From the WorkhOuSs
and Then Rearrested.

Three Men Released From the HofkhouSs
and Then RenrFested.
George Fisher, Edward Gallagher and
Edward Courtney were released from the
workhouSe yesterday morning after serving
a 80 davs' sentence as suspicious characters,
and were Immediately placed under arrest
again. This trio of prisoners were arrested
some time ago on the suspicion that they
were implicated in the attempt to blow open
the safe in the Office of Mr.. House, on
Forbes avenue. At the time no specific
evidence could be found against them, and
they were sent up on the general charge Of
being suspicious persons.
Meanwhile the case was worked mp and
enough facts obtained to warrant belief
that Fisher and Courtney were implicated
in the attempted robbery, and that Gala
CHER was the man who burglarized the resi-
denee of J. Scott Ferguson, in Oakland,
and took lot of oYercoats. Informations
were made against them before Magistrate
Gripp by Inspector McAleese yesterday,
and they were com mitted to Jail for a hear
ing on Friday.

THE MECHANICS PARADE.

IL is Estimated From 1900 to $4,000
Men Will be in Line.
The arrangements for the parade of the
American Mechanics next Saturday, have
been nearly completed, and it is estimated
that from 1900 to $4,000 men will be in
line. The railroads have issued reduced
rates, and this will bring large crowds from
the surrounding country. The celebrated
Canton Band will head the column.
The Executive Committee has sent out
circular to the business men and manufac-
turers, requesting them to suspend business
on Saturday as far as practicable, in order
that their employees may have an oppor-
tunity to participate in the parade.

Committee:
My DEAR SIR: have received no reply
from my third and last challenge. 1t is in
explicable to this committee why you so
studiouslv avoid a JOINT discussion between
your candidate and our candidate. Can We
not arrange for joint discussion between
your and our candidate at Old City Hall on
the evening of Monday next upon any issue
whatever. People would enjoy discussion
upon John H. Bailey's reflections upon the
best government we ever had. We will
gladly accept; will you do likewise?
Respectfully,

NO ROOM FOR NEW GRAVES.

Space for SepHIture Becoming Very Scarce
in the Country.
Undertaken Curry yesterday placed the
new CoraopoliS cemetery. 1t seems that
there is a dearth of cemetery room in that
part of the country and q bodies are to be
removed from the Sharon and Forest Grove
graveyards. The former is so closely packed
that to get any more bodies in they must be
placed on top of each other.
Space for sepulture becoming so scarce in
this country may prove strong argument
in favor OF cremation ere long.

there was no current.

Edward Klolz for Alderman.

OF all the candidates in the Twelfth ward,
Allegheny, Mr.. Ed Klotz is certainly the
choice ofthe best class oil voters. Mr.. Klotz is
engaged in the confectionery business, which

living without the position of Alderman.
He would certainly try to make his calling

all falr-minded voters Of that ward to give
this matter their serious consideration, and
be sure to cast their votes so as to insure
his election.

4 VERY HOT TIME.

Political Arguments Thar Led 10 Blows
Black Eyes and Broken Heads In the
Fourth Ward-A Funny Time In the
Eighth Ward.
Last night the political exigencies of the
situation crowded not alone the two head
quarters but also the streets with the ener-
getic ward workers. Some few occurrences,
such as the capturing of polling place by
the friends of Candidate Knowlan, for AL
derman, in the Eighth ward, and the board
ing up of the doors and windows.
A small riot occurred in the Fourth ward
school house, in which the benches, black
eyes and other testimonials of mutual es-
TEEN were plentifully distributed. Mass
meetings added to the hilaritY of the occa-
sion.
The W. R. Ford Fife and Drum Band
serenaded the Republican headquarters and
marched through the principal streets, max
ing music for the million. The County
Democracy last night, as well as the Ran
dali Club, held meetings and made prepa-
rations to attend the polls on Tuesday and
act in pursuance Of the agreement made By
the joint committee on behalf of their re-
spective clubs last Wednesday night. The
most earnest work was done on both sides
and the best licks put in for the tickets in
the field.
Taxing it altogether, there was very hot
time, even for Saturday night, in Pittsburg.
