be side-tracked alongside the Baltimore and
Ohio depot, where they will be easily ac-
cessible by foot, carriage and street cars.
Gavin D. High, the press correspondent,
said last evening to a DISPATCH reporter,
that "California on Wheels" was nothing
more or less than an elegant vestibuled
train of three handsome Southern Pacific
parlor coaches filled by the California
State Board of Trade with all of the inter-
esting natural and manufactured products
of the Golden State-from a baby ostrich to
the bark of the giant redwood trees.
'The object" he said, sis to display all
of those semi-tropical fruits which can not
be'grown in Pennsylvania. Nothing will
be sold on the cars, nor VIII any orders oe
taken from merchants. The object is merely
to show, and visitors will not be allowed to
spend any money at the exhibition even if
they wish to do so.
"Among the exhibits which may seem
notable to the residents of Pittsbnrg, either
on account of their size or their variety of
production there are: peaches Is inches in
circumference, mikado persimmons IL
inches In circumference, pears weighing five
and a half pounds each, sweet potatoes
weighing "a pounds, pumpkins weighing
13O pounds, onions two feet in circumference;
India rubber tree, camphor tree. cork oak,
oranges, lemons, dates, olives, bananas, ETC.,
all grown in the open air in California for
commercial purposes and not in hot houses
as exotic curiosities.

Kenny. of the Patriotic Order Sons of
America, one hour will be set apart on
Thursday by Superintendent c. II. Allen,
for reception of the members of the order
now in session in this city.

SOME RAILROAD GOSSIP.
Chairman Blanchard Doesn't Think the
Roads will be Rushed This Fall.

Chairman Blanchard Doesn't Think the
Roads Will be Rushed This Fall.
George K. Blanchard, Chairman of the
Central Traffic Association, passed through
the city last evening bound for Chicago.
He had been over in New York. In this
city Mr.. Blanchard received a telegram
from the general passenger agent of the
New York Central road. in which he stated
that all the passenger trains were now rum
ming on schedule time. He regards the
strike as an unfortunate affair for the men.
Mr.. Blanchard stated that meeting of the
Central Traffic Association would be held
in Chicago to-day. The roads have been
talking for some time of advancing the east
bound rates on grain, provisions and dressed
beef. Mr.. Blanchard said he didn't know
what would be done. Tine Pittsburg freight
scarcity of cars this fall, but Mr.. Blanchard
in chatting about the outlook for business
said:
Everything depends on the crops, and at
present the reports are very unsatisfactory.
If the crops don't turn out we'll there will
be plenty of cars this fall. People in max
ing their estimates don't take into account
the growth of the country every year. Last
year 100, 900 immigrants settled in the coun-
try. These people will, not begin to pro-
duce until this year. It has taken
them some time to become established in
their new homes. The other hotels in
Chicago do not notice any difference in their
trade since the Auditorium House was
started. The receipts of the surface roads
in New York fell of for one year after the
elevated was built, but since then there has
been no decrease. You can only explain
these facts on the growth of the country
which we seldom take into consideration.
"Wherever it can be done favor con-
solidating railroad system. I remember
when between New York and Chicago the
lines of road now operated by the Lake
Shore and New York Central were con-
trolled by 81 corporations. With railroads
it is the same as with the man who owns a
mortgaged house. He won't improve it as
he would If he had clear title"

Never have more than one garment in the
tub.

possible rubbing.

peared.

dripping wet and hang up to dry.
4. Iron while still damp and stretch the
garment into its original shape, using great

OPPOSED TO IMPROVEMENT.

The War Department stands in the Way
of the Opening of Arsenal Park.
Congressman John Dalzell was in the city
yesterday. He is rather discouraged over
the prospect for the opening of Arsenal
Park to the people of Lawrenceyille. He
says the matter is still in committee and
there is strong probability that it will
never be reported to Congress.
Mr.. Dalzell says that the War Depart
ment has manifested strong hostility to
the project on the ground that an arsenal in
the midst of a manufacturing community,
where trouble might arise at any moment,
should not be handicapped in any manner.
It is not thought by the promoters of the
project that the opening Of the Arsenal Park
will interfere with the operations of the mil
itarV.

MIR. ROBBERS Williams. of the Carbon Iron
Works, Resigns.

the position of Manager of the Carbon Iron
Works for the last three years, has resigned
to accept more lucrative post in the East.
Mr.. Williams formerly managed the open
hearth department of Graf, Bennett 8 Co.,
and has the reputation of being one Of the
best steel melters in the country.
When Mr.. Williams Joined his late en-
ployers the firm ran but two small furnaces
of capacity of 10000 pounds each daily.
Two others have been added with capacity
of $4,000 pounds each. About 800, 900
pounds of steel is turned out ready for the
fiat mill every "a hours,
There is no change in the condition of
affairs at this mill. Some six or eight fur
naces are being run with the help Of colored
men, but the plant otherwise is idle. Other
changes in their management are spoken Of
with a likelihood of the colored element
being withdrawn from the mill.

Tue Anxiety of the Reading Road to Reach
Pittsburg 10 Appre ecinted.
It is the intention of the Philadelphia,
Harrisburg and Pittsburg Railroad, which
was organized few days ago in the Quaker
City, to reach Pittsburg over the Western
Maryland and Baltimore and Ohio roads.
The Baltimore and Ohio officials here, when
asked what they knew about it, said they
were not posted, as all such arrangements
with the road are made with the people at
Baltimore.
This scheme has been broached for some
time, and local railroad men believe it will
finally be carried out. The Reading will
be used from Philadelphia to Harrisburg,
and not many miles Of road will have to be
built to connect the links. If the connec-
tions are made it will give Pittsburg another
outlet to the East, which will be a little
longer than the Pennsylvania, but the dii-
ference will not be great.

Too Many Vents TO Relieve Natural Gas
Pressure In Pittsburg.
The queer explosion of whole acres or
more of natural gas in Indiana which was
reported in the telegraphic columns of THE

prettiest by the way, declared she wouldn't
live here any longer il this is the way the
natural fluid was going to act.

Brosi Has Been Known In Windsor for Six
Months as Mullins.
John G. Brosi, the former Southside jew
eler who has been arrested in Windsor,
Ontario, will be brought back. Last week
when The DISPATCH published the first
information that had been available as to
Brosi's whereabouts, both the bank officials
and Magistrate Succop would not say
whether an attempt would be made to bring
him back or not. A day or two later word
was received that Brosi was arrested, and 1t
was shown that The DISPATCH had fur
nished the clew.
Last night telegram from Windsor con-
veyed the information that Brosi has been
sailing under an assumed name while in
Windsor. He is known there as John G..
Mullins. He has been in Windsor ever
