THE GATES ARE GOING.

In History Only VIII Toll Roads Exist
Their Condemnation Ordered by AIIe-
gheny Councils - The City Property
Committee Gets Another Black Eye.
Toll roads in Allegheny are to be thing
of history. Last night the City Solicitor was
instructed by Common Council to have the
Saw Mill Valley and Brighton plank roads
condemned. The fight over these ordinances
was fierce one. The first opposition was from
Mr.. Simon, who said the ordinances were irreg-
ular, because they originated in the committee
and not In Councils. His point was overruled
by President Hunter and the debate COM
menced.
Mr. Parke said the Brighton road was too
bad to be used and he was opposed to the city
buying mud hole. He said there was no
hurry and the best thing for the citizens was
to combine and refuse to pay toll. He did not
believe there was any use In buying the roads
until the Board Of Viewers make a report
Councilman Knox thought the Brighton
ident Hunter did not agree with him. The
Chairman said Allegheny City was asleep and
was the laughing stock of the State. He did not
believe tho toll roads could ever be purchased
as cheaply as they could at present.
Mr.. Parke again said there was no hurry
in the matter, and shat il was simply a
fight between two street railway companies for
possession of the road. He did not think the
city should buy roads for street railway COM
panies.
Mr.. Cruikshank followed with a similar ap-
peal, in which he said he was opposed to the
purchase at present, because some people were
reaching for street railway rights as soon as
the city would buy the road. A vote was taken
and the votes were almost all on the side of the
Chairman.
A fight was also raised over the granting of a
lease of the armory building on Marion ave-
nue., and the ordinance was a second time sent
back to the committee. In the call of
a nC Irrnrln lnrf fnfr uof far Usoc rnSn
luton asking for the removal of two of the four
street railway tracks on Ohio street, and an
other resolution limiting the electric cars to a
speed of five miles an hour while passing
through the central portion of the city. The
final report of the Semi-Centennial Committee
was also filed and ordered printed.

DEAL NOT CLOSED YET.

Negotiations on the Allegheny Bessemer
Company Still Pending.
1t is said in New York that the parties inter.
ested in the great steel rail deal have been in
conference in that city all this week. 1t was
supposed last week that the deal was closed,
inasmuch as the Allegheny Bessemer Steel
Company agreed to sell at Mr.. Andrew Carne-
gie's offer. Later there was a hitch and the
steel company's representatives for some
reason, expressed themselves as dissatisfied
with the price.
about $780, ,000 Then came the negotiations of
this week and on Wednesday some of the par
ties left for Pittsburg to make out the nece
sary legal papers which will transfer the ALLIE
gheny Steel Company to MIR. Carnegie ana his
associates. 1t is reported that the price is
somewhat above 81, 800 900.

FAREWELL TO PITTSBURG.

Visiting Members Of the Loyal Legion De-
part for Home.
Just before bidding farewell to their pleasant
stay in Pittsburg, the Knights of the Loyal
Legion yesterday took a whirl to homestead
to view the great industrial works of that noted
place. Their trip proved of great interest to
all in the party, and only increased the many
compliments they bestowed on the enterprise
of local citizens.
Last evening the visitors, with the exception
OF few who decided to remain behind for a
little longer stay, boarded the $40 train and

A GOOD ROAD RUINED.
Township Supervisors Who Work the
Blocks of Five System.

Township Supervisors Who Work the
Blocks of Five System.
Richard Mckowan, of Goveton, calls atten-
tion to piece of road on which his family put
a covering of well-broken stone in past years,
to the depth of l6 inches. and which was equal
10 an ordinary macadamized road. Through
the supervisor system that road has now q
stream of water through the center and is
almost dangerous to travel upon.
The advantage of paying fixed salaries to road
supervisors and requiring them to show results
in shown il bold relief by the practice of many
supervisors al present giving notice to two or
three farmers At time to appear at certain
points and work. The supervisor draws as
much salary for supervising three men as he
would for looking after 100 men, thus ne is en-
ab!cd to put in a large portion of the year
during which time he can hire a man to take
his, the supervisors, place on the farm at half
tho amount he receives as supervisor, This
is said to be the reason that some supervisors
put obstacles in the way of some people paying
their road tax by personal service; the SUPER
Yisors want to secure as much money as possi-
bic so that they can put in large amount of
time by experimenting the working of ''bIocks
of five

CHANCE FOR DOODLE AND GRIT.

How New Competitor May Swamp the
Starcl. Trust.
There is irst-class opportunity at present
for an enterprising capitalist with fat purse
in his inside pocket to start starch manufac-
tory and swamp the trust" remarked Charles
Browall, one of CIeveland's expert commercial
travellers and an old-timer on the road, last
evening,
Long Island, Cincinnati, Buffalo and West
ern houses in the Starch Trust have raised
prices SO high now that their profits are simply
abnormal, and new competing firm could
easily manufacture goods for considerably less
rates than the trust demands and realize hand
some proceeds. OF course, the trust people
would Immediately cut prices and try to kill
the competitor, but if the Yival has plenty of
Doodle to back him he need not give way to
any combination"
