Contestants.

The Pennsylvania and Reading Roads the
Contestants.
READING, March 2S-A local railro ad war
between the Reading and Pennsylvania COM
panies commenced here to-day. Recen tly the
Pennsylvania road drove stakes prepa ratory TO
constructing branch line from Front and
Franklin and up along Third street. par alleI to
the Reading Company's West Readin G road to
Buttonwood and thence to Sternbe rgh's snut
and bolt works and other industri al establish
ments, distance of nearly five squares. The
Reading put nearly so men to wor at the point
where the West Reading crosses Washington
street and began constructing siding to con-
meet with the main track and xtending along
the west side over the propose route of the
Pennsylvania road. The EN- bankment was
hastily dug down and the tr ack laid without
any attempt at grading, but before they had
proceeded far the men were topped by an in
junction, issued at the instanc Of the Pennsyl-
yania. At other points ao ng the route the
Reading people piled up ties and rails. with

sylvania tracks. A heari ng in the case will

THE CANADIAN TARIFF.
1t Will be Altered to Meet the Schedule
Used In the United States.

OTTAWA, March 2S.-Minister of Finance
Foster delivered his budget speech to-day in
the Dominion Parliament. He declared that
through the specious and irregular mode of
invoicing adopted by American manufacturers,
Canadian manufacturers of similar goods are
placed at disadvantage and wherever such
undervaluation by United States manufacIur-
ers has been resorted to, to injure Canadian
industries, the tariff will be altered and
amended with view to the removal of such
disability.
AS to the commercial union offer made by
Congress, the feeling prevails here that it is
better not to meet legislation with retail
atory measures, on the reasonable expectation
that arbitration at no remote period will settle
all disputes between the two countries.

GETZEIN FOR BOSTON,
The Triumvirs Secure the HoosIer Clubs
Prominent Pitcher.


ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcHI
BOSTON. March 2s.-Charles Getzein, the star
pitcher of the indianapolis club, signed with
Boston this morning. When the indianapolis
team was disposed of to the League last week
the attention of the Boston men was at once
directed to Getzein. John Clarkson was very
enthusiastic over the prospect of getting him.
and warmly urged the Boston directors to
get him. This forenoon President Soden, of
the Boston club, received a dispatch from
President Brush, of the indianapolis club, say.
ing he had secured Getzein for Boston.
This selection will meet the hearty approba-
tion of the Boston players as well as the pub
lie, for it insures the services of one Of the
best pitchers in the profession one of long ex-
with the old Detroit League team will never be
forgotten because of its effectiveness. Last
year he was overworked in Indianapolis, and at
the close of the season could not do himself
justice. Tins year he will have valuable allies
in Clarkson, Nichols and Taber and in return
will render good service himself, making the
Boston League club pitching department as
strong as any in the country.
Negotiations had been pending for the re-
lease of hnauss the fine left-handed pitcher of
the Detroit club, but the price asked for his re-
lease and the SLOW way that the Detroit people
had of doing business prevented the deal from
beng consummated. Tnis proved lucky for
the Boston directors for they have got better
and more experienced man.

in Private.

The Two Little Fellows to Fight for Purse
in Private.
NEW YORK, March 2S-Arrangements were
completed yesterday between the hackers of
Jimmy Lynch, the indicated 122pound pugil-
Ist of this city, and Paddy Mcbride of Phila-
delphia, for a tel-round glove contest to be
held in private within the next two weeks. A
purse of large amount has been guaranteed,
and the hackers of the men have wagered $3.50
on the outside. Rod Mcmahon, who has staked
his money on Lynch, said yesterday that he
thought, as there was no possible chance for
Jimmy to get on a match with Danforth, that
Mcbride was as good as anyone for him to
meet.
1t Is expected that considerable money will
change hands on the result. as Knockout will
probably decide which shall be the winner.
Lynch will start in to train for the contest a.
once. His brother Buff and Jack Quinn, the
Scotch lightweight, Will look after him. Nc
Bride will prepare for the contest in Jersey,
and will be cared for by Harry Walton. The
men will use two-ounce gloves. Just how much
money the winner will receive could not be
learned last night, but it was limited that $500
was the stakes.

capable of Supporting Ii.

INDIANAPOLIS March 2S.-Coroner Wagner
yesterday completed his investigation into the
disaster connected with the Bowen-Merrill
fire, that occurred here on March II and
resulted in the killing of 12 firemen. The

after the fire was under control. The building
had been enlarged on a foundation not so in.
tended originally. the enlarged superstructure
depending in part for support upon adjacent
building equally faulty. To prevent further
calamlties of 4 similar character the appoint
ment of competent building inspector is
