TAYLOR EXPLAINS HIS CASE.
Jeanette is Still Excited Over the Trouble
in the Window House.

Jeanette IL stiII Excited Over the Trouble
in the Window House.
William G. Taylor the window glassbIower
OF Jeanette, VIII o was discharged, it Is alleged,
on account OF refusing to pledge his support
and vote for candidate for school director,
who was backed by the manager of the fac
tory, was in the city yesterday. To DISPATCH
reporter he gave a short history of the trouble
that led to his discharge. He said:
Il was asked by Mr.. Moore, the manager to
vote for Adolf Eberhart, a cutter in the win
dow house. He gave his reason for wanting to
have Mr. Eberhart elected He said If he was
chosen by the people the window house could
control the offices. I refused to vote for his
man, and as a result was discharged.
"On last Saturday night a meeting Of glass
blowers was held in the town. After the meet
ing, a caucus OF citizens was supposed 20 have
been held. Instead OF a caucus of citizens, 1t
was a caucus of glassworkers, with only few
citizens present. They nominated George
Moore, Adolf Eberhart and . Mr.. Gates for
school directors. For Council they nominated
Conan, all window workers. These men were
put on the ticket because they could be better
handled than others.
'1t was on Thursday afternoon that refused
to vote for Eberhart, and on the following day
/ received notice Of my discharge. When
asked the reason Tor my dismissal, was told
that was discharged for great many things
When asked the manager to name one Of the
things, he said it was reported that carried
1 emphatfcally deny, and was discharged be-
cause the manager heard so.'"
The town is still in state OF excitement over
the trouble in the factory.

TIE OAKLAND ROAD.
Good Prospects That lt VIII be Extended to
the B, & O,'g Main Line,

the B. & 0.'s Main Line.
Mr.. ]. Bsyard Henry, Of Philadelphia, one of
the capitalists who built the Oakland and Con-
fuence Railroad from the latter place to q
point within 40 miles Of Oakland, was in the
city yesterday. The road is now beng oper-
ated by the Baltimore and Ohio and is doing a
thriving freight and passenger business. The
line runs through the beautiful valley of the
HOughiogheny river, a section of country rich
in timber and minerals. AS summer resorts
the places along the road are unsurpassed in
the State.
Mr.. Henry is very anxious to have the road
extended TO Oakland and he wants the Balti-
more and Ohio to do It. While in the city YES
terdsy he held consultation with Superin-
tendent Patton which was quite satisfactory
Mr.. Henry wouldn't like to say that the road
will be completed next summer, but he has
been assured that the Baltimore and Ohio will
do il in the near future. When finished the
new road will bring Oakland, Mountain Lake
and Deer Park within 100 miles of Pittsburg
Already number Of camping parties are con-
templating spending some time in the Yough
Valley next summer.
Mr.. Henry said last night that six mills are at
work cutting timber taken from the mount
aims The section of the road to be finished
lies along the river, and will require consider
able grading. Mr.. Henry doesn't think it will
cost a great deal, since only one side of the hill
win have to be cut down.
Mr.. Henry is interested also in the Pittsbure
Fidelity Title and Trust Company. The board
held a short meeting yesterday, and the reports
were most encouraging and hattering

ROMANCE AND REALITY.

Railroad Combinations Often Made on Paper
Mr.. Carnegie Not Turning Over Any
Road to Another - In No Position to
Do So.
Ever since the statement was made few
days since that Andrew Carnegie had Sc
cured a controlling interest In the Pittsburg
and Western road BY the purchase of 30, 900
shares, in addition to the IS, 900 already held
bv him, rumors of all sorts have been float
ing thick and fast. The latest were to the effect
that Mr.. Carnegie would turn the road over to
the Baltimore and Ohio, thereby securing to
himself by means Of the connection thus made
shorter and cheaper line to the lakes; that
Thomas NJ. King would displace Henry w.
Oliver as President Of the Western, and in fact
an entire new management would assume con-
troll in May.
Mr.. John W. Chalfant was called upon BY q
DISPATCH representative last night in refer
ence to the above rumors. He was shown
some of the reports in print which he had not
as vet seen. He said: II cannot conceive how
any such ABSURD report can have originated
unless in the brain of some romancer. You
can say for me that there is not a word of
truth in it. Mr.. Carnegie has considerable
Pitrsburg and Western stock st present, but he
Is by no means in control of that road. He,
with other Pirtsburg gentlemen, are in control,
but they have not in any way parted with il. 1t
has always been the intention to pre-
serve the Western road independent of
any other. and so far as I know that
intention will be maintained. Regarding the
report that Mr.. Oliver will be succeeded by
Thomas n. King, why it is simply ridiculous.
/ was talking to Mr.. Oliver about Pittsburg and
Western matters only day or two ago and 1
will declare that nothing of the kind was ever
intimsted- The annual election Of officers
takes place in May, and any substitution for
\ T. Doc su
plated"
Mr. Henry W. Oliver, President of the West
ern road. was also seen. He would not even
treat the matter seriously. and went on to say
that in his whole experience he had never
heard any report that was SO utterly without
foundation. No meeting, no consultation, no
consideration Of any kind had ever taken place
nor was il ever proposed

A NEW COMBINE SUSPECTED.

The Presence of Prominent Producers and
Standard Omcinls Suggests II.
Reference was made yesterday to the pres
ence of several Standard Oil Company mag
mates in the city, and it is said the cause there
of is that some producers think the price Of oil
should be higher. and in effect It is proposed
that if the Standard will share profits certain
producers interested will combine to give it
5000 or 10000 barrels day, which might be
taken to indicate a course in which inde-
pendents would have no footing. 1t is inti-
mated that in the event of refusal these pro-
ducers may form combination and do their
own refining. This subject is supposed to have
been discussed by Standard officials and John
N. Patterson, in. .Gufy Co.. the Galley Bros,
James ANN & Co., the McCalmont Oil Com
pany, of this city; lockwood Co.. of Brad
ford; ]. B. Black, of Butler; II. h. Taylor and
G. H. Torney, of Oil City; L. E. Mallory. OF
Bradford, and Moore & Barnsdale, Of Bradford.
It is said another conference will soon be
held in this city, when the matter will be
definitely settled.

A CHANGE ALL AROUND.
DR., Darlington Leaving for Cleveland and
His Successor on the Ground.

DIR, Darlington Leaving for Cleveland and
His Successor on the Ground.
DR.. Paul M. Darlington, who has Tor two
years been the surgeon of the United States
Marine Hospital Service at Pittsburg. will leave
to- day with his wife for Cleveland. DR.. Car
rington received notice of the transfer month
ago, and expected to take charge in Cleveland
before February l. Dr.. Goodwin, of Cincinnati,
was to succeed him here, but was detained
there by sickness. This disarranged a long line
Of transfers. The surgeon in Cleveland was
anxious 10 get away to New Orleans, and wrote
and telegraphed frequently. Finally the Sur
geon General ordered DR.. G. N. Guiteras from
Washington, to take the Pittsburg Office. Dr.
Guiteras arrived in the city Wednesday. Dr.
Darlington Immediately prepared to move and
bought his railroad tickets yesterday.
Shortly after completing his preparations to
depart to-day the surgeon received a subpoena
to appear at o'clock tomorrow afternoon be-
fore Commissioner McCandless to give evidence
in the suit of John A. Campbell against T. NJ
jenkins q Co., the owners of the steamboat
Frank Gilmore. for injuries received. Dr.
Carrington was in q stew. 1t seemed that fate
was against his departure for Cleveland. After
some hustling, however, it was agreed to take
his testimony yesterday afternoon and the
thing was settled.
DR.. Guiteras is a gentleman Of Spanish de-
scent young and talented. He has recently
been in Washington and previous to that was
located in New Orleans

into BUTLER COUNTY
A New Road That Will Open
Rich Limestone Deposits.
GOOD FOR SEVERAL TOWNS
Transfer of the Pittsburg and West
ern to the B. & 0. Denied.
NORTHWESTERN RATE WAR OVER

There is now in the course of construction,
branch road of the West Penn Railroad,
which is to run from Monroe station, four
miles above Freeport, along Little Buffalo
creek, to q point known as Winfield Fur
mace. Contractor Keenan,, of Philadelphia,
has over 200 men engaged in grading the
road. 1t is to be completed by July 1. 1t
will be u miles long and will intersect some
of the finest timber and limestone land in
the State. 1t is said that on the Stewart
farm and other surrounding property there
is 3O-foot vein of limestone that covers
many hundreds Of acres. 1t has never been
made use of, on account Of being so far
from any railroad. It is to reach this rich
bed that the railroad is being built.
PURCHASING TERRITORY.
The railroad company has bought up con-
siderable property, and is still securing op-
tions on more of it
Joseph Britain, of Butler, has been
largely instrumental in inducing the COM
pany to build the road. He has been pur-
chasing nearly all of the ties used by the
Pennsylvania system west of the mountains.
and the majority Of them come from Butler
and Armstrong counties. There is much valu-
able timber along the route Of the new road
which will be used for this purpose. There are
several villages near the road that will be bene-
1ted by it Among these are ISarversville,
Bogg's Mills, Slate Lick and Worthington.
WANTS SOME OF IT.
Millerstown is reported as being anxious to
have the road extended to that place, as the
only railroad facilities they have is q narrow
gauge branch of the Pittsburg and Western
from Butler. Word was received in Allegheny
that the business men of Millerstown had
pledged $4,000 to the company if they would
build the road there.
The new road will be 8 standard gauge. The
grading is partly done. The work Of building
the road will be commenced shortly. It will
connect with the Butler branch at Monroe sta
tion, where transfer will be made for Butler
and other oil country points. With the open
ing Of the new road and the development Of
new oil and gas fields in that neighborhood. the
citizens of Butler and Armstrong counties are
naturally very much elated.

LIBERTY SWEET TO THEM.
Ingenious Plan of WOrkhOHse Inmates to
Break Out and Away,

A remarkable piece of ingenuity and enter
prise has been discovered at the workhouse.
The prisoners who are refractory are removed
to an exterior building called the white
House." An arrangement had been made to
make break, and by knocking the night
watchman senseless, gain the outer door to
which q key was found concealed in one Of the
cell pals.
The key was remarkable piece of work, be-
ing made OF hickory wood, with an exact re-
production Of the wards in the regular key.
Keeper George Burt discovered the key, which
he confiscated and still holds as a trophy of
defeated conspiracy. The inmates of the
white House" at the time were ten lusty
young fellows, who were some of the most OBJ
streDerous prisoners in the Worlkhouse, ant had
the scheme succeeded there would have been
vacancy in the workhouse employees.

CLOSING CENTER AVENUE.
The Residents of Heron Hill VIII Have to

The Residents of Heron Hill VIII Have to
Walk Mile for n Car.
The residents Of Heron Hill and vicinity are
in very uncomfortable frame Of mind al pres
ent The cable cars are still in a state of innoc-
uous desuetude, and, as 3 climax, the horse
cars on Center avenue are not running on the
last half mile Of the line. This is made neces-
sary on account of the change of grade, and it
is entirely probable that within few days Gen.
ter avenue will be closed from Soho street to
Heron avenue, necessitatiDg walk of a mile
to catch car.
In view of these facts, every effort is now be-
ing made to get the new line in operation. The
cable is being temporarily held down in the dip
at Francis and Wylie by means Of a piece of
timber, and it is possible that trial trip may
be made while it is in this condition. Yester-
day force of men was at work cleaning the
rails and placing salt on the slippery portions.
An employe of the line SAID:
THE time when the road will start depends
entirely upon the trouble at Francis street. If
the new pulleys will work satisfactorily it may
be running very soon. If, on the other hand, a
vault will have to be constructed, it will be Q
month at least"

BRING ON YOUR BOOKS.

The Fidelity Title and Trust Company
Sounds a Note Of Warning.
The Fidelity Title and Trust Company,
charged with the settlement of the Lawrence
Bank affairs, gives notice that if the depositors
will send in their books statement will soon
be completed, and that if they do not the state
ment of liabilities will not include their &C.
counts. The officials say that a reasonable
time will be allowed, but nothing more. The
company has almost concluded its accounts so
far as they can be with the insufficient data at
hand. Thus far 1875 books have been sent in,
but there are over 1000 outstanding, and that
only the depositors themselves are blamable
for delay in getting statement
Secretary McVay says that some depositors
think if they part with their books they may
lose their claims, and some refuse to leave their
books, demanding that copies be made Of them,
and this unbelief in the integrity Of the &C.
countants is the cause of unnecessary delay.

Keyes was one of the Pittsburg delegates to
