Andrew Carnegie was in the city yesterday
attending meetings of the various interests

mined effort was made by a number Of news
paper men to secure the views of the distin-

particular and number of other things, but
without avail. Mr.. Carnegie made formal
notification in the morning that he would not
give anything to the press.

TAPS A NEW REGION.
The Projected Pittsburg, Akron and
Western as a Rich Feeder.
NEITHERAR.&W.ORR.& go. BRANCH
A North and South Road Across 0hiO's
Gridiron of Railways.
As SHORT TO CHICAGO As TIE OTHERS

William Semple, Jr., has returned from
his trip to Ohio after having spent nearly a
week in that State in the interest of the
Pittsburg. Akron and Western road, in
| which he is interested. An attempt was
made to get him to talk on the matter, but
he absolutely refused to say anything for
publication at present. There are some
further deals on foot that need to be consum-
| mated.
From another source considerable addi-
tional information to that already known
was learned. It is not a branch road of
either the Baltimore and Ohio or the Pitts
burg and Western railroads, nor is it con-
trolled by either in any way, as has been re-
ported. individuals connected with both
roads are known to be included in the list
of stockholders, and one of the main feat
ures of the new line is to serve the interests of
those lines. 1t will tap a section remarkable
for its stock, grain and agricultural richness,
and will add new market in some respects for
Pittsburg's products. The manner in which IL
traVerses the country is also worthy of note.
A NETWORK OF ROADS.
Although Ohio IS a network of railroads
everyone in the vicinity of the Pittsburg, Ak
ron and Western is a north and south road.
4nEOuSn Inese lCWlll cut lpS way 1Or q distance
of 165 miles. Sc of which are already construct
ed. When finished it will connect with the
Pittsburg and Western at Akron and the Balti-
more and Ohio at Chicago junction, giving to
the first named a gain of 36 miles to Chicago
over its present route. 1t will then be within
three miles of the distance covered by the FIT.
Wayne road in reaching Chicago. At the pres
ent time the Western road is able to compete
with the other road, particularly in Chicago
freight, but at great disadvantage. When the
new line is finished bid will not only be made
for the freight traffic, but the passenger also.
1t will also be only II miles longer than the
Pittsburg. Cincinnati and st. Louis Railroad to
ST. Louis As will be noted from the above,
Pittsburg's interests are largely at stake in the
matter. The more competition the better for
its industries.
PUSHING THE WORK.
AS far as work on the line is concerned it may
be said that it is being pushed to completion as
rapidly as possible. A portion of it is at pres
ent narrow gauge, but that will be changed to
standard within 60 days. The contractors
promise January l as the time set for COM
pleting the work, but great effort is being
made to have it ready for travel by October l.
The only thing to prevent this from being car
ried out will be the inability of the bridge COM
pany to supply the material and build the same
within that time. That it could be done there
is no doubt under ordinary circumstances, but
the company who hold the contracts are SO
crowded with work at the present time that it
may be impossible for them to perform their
part of the contract before the specified time,
on the first of next year.

Better than Faith Cur..

There were five men of us and three
women, besides the driver, who were
staging 1T between two towns in Kan
sas. We set out at z o'clock in tho
morning for au all days ride, and had
not made over two miles when the old
est man in the crowd, who was from
the Nutmeg State, aud built on Yam.

by gosh 10 squashl !"
What's up ?" asked one of the lot.
"The toothachel She hit me in that
ere lower double tooth and I'm in for a
bushel OF trouble"
Just try and not think of It," sug-
gested one Of the women. "Keep your
thoughts on your family"
He tried it for two or three minutes.
and a smile of affection camo to his
face. 1t suddenly died away, how
ever, to be replaced by q look Of feroc-
ity as he yelled ont:
Hang my family, but it don't work
Has anybody got any camphor? p
Nobody had. We hadn't even n drop
OF whisky. One mar had some tobacco,
but the Yankee couldn't go it. The ache,
once started, grew worse, and as no
began groaning n second
suggested
I've heard say as imagination has
all to do with pains. Suppose you inn
agine you are sound asleep and dream

He tried it, and for q minute or two
the ache let up. Then it struck him
with a jump, and he seized his jaw and
yelled:
"Jerusha Jacksonl but I'll be
gnul darncd if L hain't goin' to die
right here? Driver, stop the wagonl"
1t was stopped and he painted to
know how far 1T was to n town. He was
told that it was twenty miles, and he
fetched a groan n rod long and said:
ITS got to be done! Driver, come
down here"
"What do You want?"
You've got to knock il out! You arc
the biggest man in the lot, and | guess

"Sartain, and don't waste any moro

sock me one righto on that tooth. L want

"But you will go with it,"
Cant help that. Now, imagine that
I've called you n double-barTeled liar
and whale away"
The driver drew f,ack and then
landed on the exact spot, and the Yam
kee tumbled head over heels in the
grass. He was up in a minute, how
ever, and he put his thumb and finger
into his mouth and pulled out two teeth
and shouted:

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
THE DEADLY coin pnp.

II trustworthy statistics could be had
Of the number of persons who die every
year or become permanently diseased
from sleeping in damp or cold beds, they
would probably be astonishing and APP
paling. IT is a peril that constantly
besets travelling men, and If they are wise
they will invariably insist on having their
beds aired and dried, even at the risk Of
causing much trouble to their landlords.
But the peril resides in the home and the
cold ''spare-room" has slain its thousands
OF hapless guests and will 90 on with its
slaughter till people learn wisdom. Not
only the guests but the family often suf-
fer the penalty of sleeping in cold rooms
and chilling their bodies at n time when
they need all their bodily heat, by getting
between cold sheets. Even in warm
weather a cold, damp bed will get in its
deadly work. II is a needless peril, and
the neglect TO provide dry rooms and
beds has in il the element of murder and
suicide.-Go0d H0usekeeping.

ance in the hotel corridor which, from
the satisfied expression Of the proprietor's
face, seems to pay handsome profits. The
man does not confne himself to any one
locality, but is found now in one familiar
corridor, now in another. His business
has a certain amount Of sentiment in it,
for out Of thin sheet gold he manufactures
pretty lace pins, the design of which Is
the signature Of any fair one to whom his
customer desires to present his Offering.
The signature, which, singularly enough,
is almost without exception the first
name Of the maiden, is clipped from the
end a letter and handed to the artist.
After looking at It closely through n
magnlfying glass he gets n thorough idea
of the proportion of its shading and al
Of its characteristics. Then with the
thin sheet Of gold in his fingers and a
delicate pair Of fnely-tempered scissors
and a hair file he reproduces the sigma
turc in the precious metal in an incredibly
short time.
The work Of soldering a pin to the
signature and packing It in a box filed
with tinted and pcrfumed cotton is a
matter Of a few moments. r. is said that
bridegrOoms arc this mans chief patrons.

Gashes Stitched with Ant's Lave

Ants are terrible fighters. They have
very powerful jaws, considering the size
OF their bodies, and therefore their method
of fighting is by biting.
They will bite ono another and hold on
with a wonderful grip Of the Jaws. even
after al their LEGS have been bitten of
by other ants. Sometimes six or eipht
ants viii be %clineing with - death grin
to ono another, making q peculiar spccta-
Gle, some with O. leg gone and some with
half tho body gone.
One singular fact is that the Qrip Of an
ants jaw is retained even after the BODY
has been bitten on and nothing but the
hood remains. This knowledge IS DOS
ssscd by a certain tribe Of Indians in
Brazil, South America, who put the ants
to % very peculiar usc.
When ana Indian Qets % cash cut In HE
hand, instead Of having the flesh sewed
together as the physicians do in this coun-
try, be- prOcures five or Elk large black
ants, and, holding their heads near the
cash, they bring their jaws together in
biting the flesh, and thus pull the two
sides Of the flesh together.
Then Che Indian pinches on the bodies
of the ants and leaves tleir heads cling
