able tension, as in the case of a car being
pulled up steep grade, that some Of that
sag is taken out and must be disposed of In
some way. This is done in the engine house
by the tension sheave over which the cable
passes after leaving the driving drums, thus
keeping constant the strain on the cable as
it leaves the house, though on entering the
house the strain may vary within wide
limits according to the power used.
The sheave-car acts almost as though 1t

A Strong Republican Faction Working for
Anybody TO Defeat Him.
R. B. Brown, editor of the Mesdville
Messenger, is in the city, and is stopping at
the Seventh Avenue Hotel. He is a Demo-
crat, and says there is an influential faction
among the leaders of the Republican party
to put up anybody in order to defeat Della
mater. AS Meadville is Mr.. Delamarer's
home, it would be a severe setback for some
other candidate to be nominated. He said
Wallace would get the Democratic dele
gates, and the chances were in favor Of
Delamater for the Republicans.
The Democrats voted for Wallace last
time, and will do so again. Hastings, Mr..
Brown claims, is very popular man in the
county, and will get many delegatesin the con-
vention. The opposition in the Republican
ranks is headed by ex-Congressman Sam
Dick, who is working tooth and toenail
against DelamateI.

the cause of the delay until this time, Mr..
Brownson said:
"There is a peculiar law in existence in
New York State, which provides that a will
cannot be admitted to probate until after
the lapse of 60 days. A report published in
a Pittsburg paper few days since, to the
effect that some misunderstanding existed
among the executors, is without foundation

first road was put in operation in San Fran
cisco, Cal, in 1873. This road was but one
mile long, and the grades throughout its
entire length were exceedingly steep. 1t
was supposed that the cable could only
be applied economically in surmounting
steep grades. and it was consequently some

INDIANA FOR DELAMATER.
Indignation Felt ut the Treatment Given
General Hastings.

General Hastings.
A party Of Indiana merchants arrived in
the city yesterday to attend the meeting of
the Pittsburg Commsndery F. A. A. NJ. at
Masonic Hall last evening. Among them
were Irwin Mcfarland, E. j. MIldren, J..
H. Rochester, H. j. Thompson, W. s..
Dougherty, H. NJ. Bell, Henry Hall and G.
T. Hamilton.
In conversation with some of the gentle
men, they stated that the people Of Indiana
county were working for Delamater. and
theindications are that he will be the choice of
the County Convention. Pattison, they said, is
the choice of the Democrats of that vicin-
ity. Indiana county is next to Cambria,
and the delegates said there was strong
feeling of Indignation among some of the
people at the treatment of General Hastings.

them are placed the dies, which press di-
rectly on the cable. These dies are subject
to great wear, and all kinds of material
have been tried in manufacturing them.
from an extremely soft substance like wood
to the hardest steel. A composition die
composed principally of iron has been found
the best, all things considered, and the SER
vice it yields before requiring renewal is
about one month.
In estimating the daily operating expenses
of cable railways it must be remembered
that about half the cost will remain un-
changed by any alteration in the amount of
business done, while the other half will
vary as that business varies. The usual
method of estimating by csr-miles the cost
of operating street railways is an unsatis-
factory way of comparing cable and horse
lines, tor the horse-cars are always smaller
and always carry fewer passengers. The
road of three miles in length (abour like the
Central line), on which the foregoing fig
ures have been made would cost about $500
per day to operate. The average daily
travel of cable car is 110 miles. This with
the 10 cars on the supposititious road of
three miles in length, makes a total travel
of 1850 car-miles each day, giving an ex-
pense of 1918 cents per car.mile. The prln-
cipal items forming this amount are as fol-
lows:

time he did his share of the hardest sort Of
fighting, it is indeed surprising that he con-
tinues so hale and active. A huge amount
Of work the old General has done IN ms
time. In 1910 sent to Florida to see MS
first campaign. From this time on to Io4I,
at various military stations at the Soutn,
where knowledge Of the country was gained
that proved of the greatest value in later
years. Then during the days of the Argon-
auts, the young soldier was on the Cali
fornia coast Still later he was stationed
at st. Louis and New Orleans. Then we
find him in command of a brigade for the
first time in the first battle of Bull Run.
From that time down to the present his
career has been such that every sehoolboy
is familiar with it. The veteran has been
soldier, banker, a diplomatist, trader,
and last, but by no means least, he has
been and is an author. That he is an orator
of no mean order is pretty well demon
strated.
General Sherman is quite gray now. Both
his hair and beard are white. But he is
still a verv hard-working man. He lives
very quietly with his family at his house on
Seventy-frst street, west of Central Park.
He is as accessible as any man in New York,
but he has a most direct and positive way OF
dealing with bores. 1t has been stated that
sons who annoy him. To persons who have
some real reason for calling upon him he is
always courteous. A ring at the door-bell
of the Generals handsome brownstone resi-
dence brings pleasantfaced servant girl to
answer the call.
The old fighter is peculiar in one respect.
The girl, who opens his door for visitors
never has to go and ask him if he is in. At
the first she tells one that ''the General is
in" or he is not. That settles it. If he is
in he will see you. Ifyou are a bore, as a
good many of his callers are, look out for
squalls, and under any circumstances it is
not well to be prol1x. General Sherman
likes one to get to the point at once. If the
visitor is not able to do this he is likely to
be interrupted.
There is one sort of caller that is always
received with warmth, and that is one OF
General Sherman's old soldiers, or his
"boys," as he calls them. Just how much
assistance General Sherman gives to old and
unfortunate soldiers it would be hard to say.
No one but himself knows. and he won't
tell. But these are among the more numer-
Gus of the visitors at his house. Besides
them there are all sorts and conditions oi
callersat the house.

A METHoDICAL MAN.

General Sherman is methodical in his
habits and in his work He is an early riser.
He eats an early and light breakfast, and
aiterward is to be seen in his library at the
end of the hall on the parlor floor Of his
house. He has a comparatively large IL
brary, not entirely made up of military
books either. He has always had keen
literary taste, and there are few men who are
better posted on the literary and historical
records of this and other lands. A large
amount of the space in his library is taken
up by the maps which were drawn by him
self and his generals during the Civil War.
He has the original copies of the maps, and
there is scarcely day when he is not called
upon to settle by reference some dispute as
to military maneuver made by himself OF
some other general. These maps are, his
hobby, and very valuable they are, too,
viewed from any standpoint.
The correspondence of General Sherman
is simply enormous. He has in the first
place thousands of members of the Grand
| Army who write to him with reference to all
sorts OF matters. He has more invitations
| to speak before Grand Army posts than any
other man in America. His receipts of beg
| ging letters daily is simply enormous There
are many letters asking him for literary con-
tributions for everything from the big re
views down to some church fair journal
Whenever the General does dip into the
| scribbling business it is usually for the
| North american ReUieu.
! To call man of70 man about town MAY
seem fIppant. And yet General Sherman
| is a man about town in the best sense of tht
word. He is to be seen at the clubs and the
big dinners, such as that of the New En-
gland Society, for instance; he shares the
| oratoricaI honors with such stars as Chaun-
cey M. Depew and General Horace Porter.
At most of the big social events the tall
form and grizzled face of the famous soldier
is to be seen, and he is favorite with all.
In short. the old General is passing
through the evening of his life in calm
and quiet manner, liked by all. He is happy
in his home, is admired in public, and as
one of the most unique of our historical
characters, as well as one of the last, he is q
figure that stands out prominently in the
crowded, bustling metropolis. This is why
so much interest is attached to his coming

It is never quiet while the cable runs. The
lower carriage on which the tension ma
chipery rests is only moved when in the
course of the cables life it stretches. It then
becomes necessary to take up this perma-
nent elongation, and this is done by moving
the lower sheave-car back with crowbar or
suitable machinery.
