Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1890-10-18
A DAY AND EVENING,
AND THE EXPOSITION OF 1890 WILL BE
NO MORE.

Last Night the Banner Night-The Show I
Success All Around - Special Concer
This Forenoon - Vote on Prohibiting
Locomotives on the Streets of Cities.
Tonight the band will play "Home
Sweet Home" the gong will sound its fna
'good night" and the Exposition of 1S9t
will be no more. But its memories will
last long, for 1t has been one of the mos
successful public enterprises in I the history
of the city, and its very success augers well
for next years show and the future Of the
Exposition Society, and conversely the city
| and section it represents.
| Last night was the banner night for at
tendance, over &c, 900 being present. The
total attendance up TO yesterday foots up
something over 100000. The society has
made money, everyone has been more or
less benefited, and all are reasonably salts
fed, But with tomorrow night the Expo
sition does not close for the exhibitors-the
hardest work for some weeks commences.
All the goods, machinery, ETC., on exhlbl-
tion will have to be transferred to store
rooms and factories, and it means work.
The oil we'll is only down about 760 feet
Work has been hindered by an insufficient
supply of gas. The drilling will be con-
tinued until there is no longer any hope of
striking either oil or gas or one of these
fluids is brought to the surface.
The Exposition Society wants to build
horticultural and music halls just as soon
as the way can be seen clear to obtain the
necessary money. 'Tis too early yet to talk
of next years plans; the first thing will be to
count the pile to the society's creditafter all
bills are settled.
Yesterdays voting topic at THE DIS
PATCH headquarters was SHOULD the haul
ing of trains by locomotives on public
streets be prohibited and horse power ap-
plied.' The vote and remarks showed that
public opinion favors abolishing the locomo-
tives from public streets, but the substitute
for locomotives in moving freight named
by the question brought forth a divergence
ofopinion.
The remarks will best show how people
think on the question. Some of them were:
Public streets no place for trains" eyes,
and it should be done after business hours"
'Yes, but railways should enter cities
through tunnels or upon elevated tracks"
"Use neither; place tracks in such posi-
tion that they will not be public nuisance.
"Why not employ electricity" "Horses
too SLOW" "Horses were all right 300 years
ago."
