THE ELECTRIC CARS HERE.
Oakland Residents Say They Will Not Pay
nm Additional Fare.

Oakland Residents Say They Will Not Pay
nm Additional Fare.
The two cars for the electric feeder of the
Pittsburg Traction Company arrived yester-
day, and will probably be placed on the
line by the last of the week. They will be
equipped with electric motors and the round
trip of the road will be made in ten minutes.
The people living in Oakland, particu-
larly In the vicinity of old Linden Grove,
now called Oakland square, are indignant
at the statement that the company will
charge an extra fare on the feeder. The
new electric cars will run down Atwood
street to Bates and around the bluff back
of Linden Grove. When the line was pro-
jected, it was common supposition that
the company would issue exchange or trans
fer tickets to the people using the cable cars
to come to town. The officials of the COM
pany now say an extra fare will be charged
and many of the people living along the
line say they will continue to walk rather
than pay cents additional. They say they
will not pay cents for the privilege of
transyersing part OF the route to and from
their homes.

OPERATORS ARE MAD.
Railroad Coal Men Displeased at the'
Stand Taken by Miners.
PLAIN RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED,
Indiana Timers Arrive Hereto Take the
Place of Strikers.
BOILER MAKERS WANT SHORTER HOURS

The coal operators are very much put out
with the miners who refuse to work for the
Imperial Coal Company, the Snowden
mine of the Pittsburg and Chicago Gas
Coal Company. Hartley & Marshall and
Gregg & Wildman. A largely attended
meeting of operators was held in the office
of the Pittsburg Coal Agency yesterday, at
which the situation wos discussed. Some
of them argued that there was no use in
having an organization for the purpose of
dealing with the miners organization if the
ments made between them.
1t was stated positively that the miners
had broken faith with them. and the indi-
cations are, if the matter is not settled soon,
serious trouble will ensue. Before the meet
ing adjourned the following resolutions
were unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS. The miners, in refusing to work
at the mines of the Imperial Coal Company,
Chicago Gas Coal Company, Hartley Mar
shall and Gregg & Wildman, before they sub
mitted the difference between them and the
operators to the properly authorized tribunal
for adjudication, have violated the agreement
made and entered into by and between the
miners and operators in joint convention rela-
i've thereto,
Resolved. That the attention of the proper
authorities be called at once, by the chairman
of this meeting. to this serious breach of faith
on the part of said miners, and request that
such action be promptly discontinued; as per-
sIstence in such course will work to the de-
struction OF the whole fabric of arbitration
and conciliation, that has entaied benefits on
both miners and operators during the past four
years of its operation. result which we. as
operators, most earnestly desire to avoid. Our
object is to act in harmony and unity on the
lines of promoting confidence and the mutual
interest of the miners as well as of ourselves.
The matter of scale for dead work, which
the recent conference committee failed to
settle, was referred to Messrs. Roger Hart
ley, Alexander Patterson, James W. Shields
and VIM. Bradling, with full power to act.
1t is not probable, however, that anything
will be done in reference to the matter until
after the meeting of the miners which has
been called for next week.

TO PAVE CARSON STREET.
A Meeting of Citizens Heid-A scheme TO

A Meeting of Citizens Heid-A scheme TO
Open Bingham Street.
A meeting is now on foot on the South
side among the property holders to have
Carson street paved from Seventeenth
street, where the 80-foot street commences,
up as far as the consent of the property
holders can be had. A meeting of citizens
was called for last night at the corner of
Twenty-frst and Carson streets of those who
are interested in the movement, but on ac-
count of it not being we'll advertised but
few were present. Another meeting will be
called soon.
As the time approaches, when the Elec-
trio road will be in operation, the citizens
are again raising the question of what shall
be done with the wagon traffic below Seven
teenth street on Carson. 1t is said that the
heavily loaded iron wagons will not be able
to pull back onto the track when thev have
once pulled off close to the curb, and the
increased number OF cars with fast time will
not give them an opportunity to cross from
one track to another. Of necessity this
traffic will revert to Bingham and Sarah
streets. One proposition is to open Bing-
ham street to First street or to Smithield,
if possible.

A BOOM FOR ALLEGHENY.
The Common Council Pass the CaIifornis
Avenue Ordinance.

The Common Council Pass the California
Avenue Ordinance.
Unfinished business came up before a
special meeting of Allegheny Common
Council last night. Following routine work,
upon Mr. Stauffer's motion, the action taken
in referring the ordinance for the grading of
California avenue from Island avenue to
the city line, was reconsidered. At a pre-
vious meeting the ordinance had been
passed, but after City Solicitor Elphin-
stones speech, the action was reconsidered
and the ordinance referred back to the Street
Committee.
A motion was finally made to pass the or
dinanee. Upon this Messrs. Mercer and
Stsuffer presented petitions signed bv mer-
shants and many prominent citizens asking
that the ordinance be passed.
The petitions stated that Pittsburg had
eclipsed Allegheny in general progress on
account of opening broad highways in its
undeveloped portions. while Allegheny has
never done anything to improve her main
outlets, and the opening of California ave-
nue. was a step in the right direction.
President Hunter stated that owing to a
defect in the laws the city would have to
pay portion of the cost. about SAC, 900, but
the money would come back in a few years
in taxes.
Mr.. Stauffer spoke the same as President
Hunter and then the ordinance was passed
"a ayes to noes. Messrs. Drum, Stemm-
Ter. Thomas and Vogler voted no.
After other business the meeting ad-
journed

gressionnI md Senatorial Canvass.
Though the sun heated up the air several
degrees yesterday in recognition of the
coming summer, the added caloric had no
effect in abating the energies of the North
side politicians. Both in the Congressional
and Senatorial canvass there was any guam
tity of work done. There was also large
and varied assortment of claims and reports
to select from; and, as usual, it was accord
ing to the sympathies of the party inter-
viewed that opinions went
The drilt of opinion since Colonel Bayne's
return has been toward the presumption
that he has got his forces in shape, and will
pull out winner. The strongest sort of asser-
tions TO this effect were made freely on Tues-
day and yesterday, both BY the Colonel and
by his supporters. But on the other hand
Shiras and his supporters were fully as con-
fident in their expressions. Their claims
yesterday were as strong as at any time be-
lore; and they appeared to be working az
hard, if not harder, than ever. Both the
Bayne and Shiras hackers were active
through the day. Colonel Bayne was re-
ported as having said in an interview that
he would be "an easy winner" while Mr..
Shiras was not less frank in declaring his
belief in his own success. A choice variety
OF literature has been scattered over the dis
trlct-much OF it Of personal sort.
The Senatorial contest between Neeb and
Rutan is developing no less activity than
the Congressional. John Neeb is putting in
his most powerful efforts. Reports come
from his hackers that one bet OF $500, made
by Rutan CHIEF, had been taken by Neeb's
supporters, and that the latter had s., 900
hos Hfnk a.,
but did not find takers. Notwithstanding
these signs, the Rutan people still keep up
their preparations with unabated vigor.
From the earnestness shown by all the can
didates so far in standing by their guns, it
is not supposed that any concessions Will be
made until the actual vote at the primaries
determines the winners.

FOR THE WEST PENN.
A NOVEL SCHEME TO RAISE MONEY FOR
THE HOSPITAL.

One Hundred Amateurs In n Big Minstrel
show-Sham Battles, Cannonadiug mud
Fireworks - The Marine Band to be
Here.
The Board of Directors OF the West Penn
Hospital have big time in store for the
people of this city. They want to raise
about SIG, 1000, and they propose to do it in a
novel way. The Pittsburg railroads have
entered heartily into the scheme, and will run
excursion trains into the city to carry the
crowds. Every penny of the proceeds will
be turned over to the hospital. Such a
thing is entirely unheard of, not only in
this city, but throughout the entire country.
The hospital will hold entertainments
june 70 and 13. On the evening of the
former date grand minstrel show, embrac-
ing 100 of the best amateur actors in this
CITY, will be given in the Exposition build
ing. A flag presentation, under the aus
pices of the Grand Army ladies of the city,
will be another feature. The flag will be
presented by Mrs. General John A. Logan
at a reception to be held BY the Grand
Army veterans of the hospital. The person
who is to respond to Mrs. Logan's speech
has not yet been chosen.
A SHAM BATTLE.
On Saturday, the 14th, at o'clock in the
afternoon an exhibition drill and sham
battle will be given on the Exposition ball
grounds in Allegheny. The participants
will be from the Eighteenth and Fourteenth
regiments and Battery B. In the evening.
in the Exposition building on this side OF
the river. the Marine National Band, by
special order from Secretary of the Navy
Tracy. will give grand performance be-
ginning at 8 o'clock. After the concert
reception will be rendered by Mrs. Logan
to her military and political friends.
The entertainments are to be given to
raise money to pay for the Improvements,
now almost completed, at the hospital. a
mansarG roof, 400 feet long. 50 feet WIDE and
Is feet high, has been added to the building.
The cost, including beds, furnishings, etc.,
will be about SO, 900, and there is no money
in the treasury to pay for the work. The
new addition was rendered absol lutely neces-
sary by the cramped quarters OF the ouiio-
ing.
oyERCRowDED WITH PATIENTS.
For the past six months or more 30 to 90
patients have had to sleep on the floors OF
the institution, there being no beds for
them. With the new improvement accom-
modations can now be furnished to about
800 patients.
The railroads will run excursion trains
on the days Of entertainment, and the rate,
including coupon for admission, will be
81. The rate will be the same, irregardless
OF distance, within a radius OF so miles, and
every cent of the proceeds will be turned
over to the hospital.
A new fire extinguishing apparatus has
just been placed in the building. Lines of
hose have been stretched on every floor, and
should fire break out the whole building,
if necessary, could be flooded at minutes
notice.

They Will Soon Decide to Ask for Shorter
Days Work.
The boiler makers held an open meeting
last night to consider the matter of making
demands for either shorter hours or an in
crease of wages. The men work ten hours
a day now and receive 50 30 per day.
There were large number of non-union
men present and quite large number of
new members were admitted to membership.
Not more than half the boiler makers Of the
city are in Local Union No. II, and it is
the desire to get all organized before making
demands. Another open meeting will be
held next Wednesday evening when the
subject will be considered further. In the
meantime, committee appointed at last
nights meeting will formulate demands to
be presented at that meeting for approval
before being presented to the manufacturers.
1t is probable the men will ask for eight
hours.
