Victed, are liable to 500 fine.

Tense, and argued that it could not be shown
that the election was irregular, as the district

City Committee, and, in consequence, there
was no violation Of law. As the attorney for
the prosecution. Morton Hunter ESQ.,, was
sick and could not be present, and the pI osecu-
ton wanted postponement in consequence

RUNNING AT LAST.

Tho Central Traction Cars Running Quite
Sm0othly-Success of the Pleasant Val.
ley ROad-Greatly Increased Revenues
Other Companies Watching IL CLOSELY.
After many dates set and as many post
ponements from various reasons, the Central
Traction cars commenced running regularly
yesterday morning, with very gratifying
patronage from the public. The bright yeI-
low cars scudded safely over elaborate curves
and troublesome crossings with only occa-
sional troubles in the way of insufficient i'm
petus in crossing Fifth avenue traction tracks.
The first days operation Of the road was sue
cess.
Colonel W. H. Stone, ef the Pleasant Valley
Electric Railway Company. was IN pleasant
the road. He said: AT the present time the
earnings of the road have increased SO hand
somely that we will declare a dividend OF per
cent on our capital stock on the 1st of July.
There are three divisions of the road at present.
The main line, the blue line and the Cali
Tornia avenue line. With electricity In use on
only one of the divisions there has been an in
crease of nearly 100 per cent in the gross reve-
nues. Very vigorous work on the other two
divisions Is in progress, and We hope
TO be able to have the horse car thing
of the past on the whole line within three
weeks. No, for the present the one power
house will do for the whole road, but it is only
a question of a month or two before new
power house. east of Federal street, will be
built. We will have rapid transit on the whole
line inside Of month. With the system an
entire success, stock above par and dividends
possible, the directors of the road are naturally
elated. More cars are coming, and we hear
that the cars specially designed for our use by
the Pullman Company are to be adopted all
over the country on account of their economy
of room and applicability to abrupt curves.
"There is no franchise. so far as the Sprague

THEY CALL 1T INTIMIDATION.
Pennsylvania Road Employees Questioned
About the Relief Fund.

Pennsylvania Road Employees Questioned
About the Relief Fund.
The heads of the departments of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company are issuing circu-
lars to their employees in regard to the Relief
Association. The employees assert that the
statement very conclusively shows that they
will either have to join the association or leave
the service of the company.
The officials of the company have all along
denied that any attempt would be made to
make the employees go into the association. The
circulars now being sent out are looked upon
as an intimidation. Each employeof the com
pany will receive copy of the circular and
will hayc to answer the questions therein and
return it to his superior officer. The questions
asked are in regard to age, what relatives de-
pend upon the recipient for support etc. One
of the questions asked is: Are you a member
of the relief fund? If not and of acceptable
age state whether you have examined the rules
and regulations" "Do you intend to become
member7"
The members of the association in this city
are very few. What effect the circular will
have could not be learned yesterday.

TO PREVENT EXTORTION
And Other Abuses of the Cab Business
Regulation Proposed.

And Other Abuses of the Cab Business
Regulation Proposed.
Chief Brown. of the Department of Public
Safety, will have an ordinance introduced
furthering the one received yesterday in coun-
ellis regulating the cab traffic in Pittsburg. The
ordinance will provide a regulated rate Of fare,
and also ask the Chief of the Department of
Public Works to set certain places designated
as cab stands which can be reached by tele-
phone or the tortuous path of the messenger
boy, as he plays follow up'' while in search of
the necessary vehicle.
The reason for this is that the concentration
of the cab stands at the business centers of the
city, as it now exists, creates a nuisance in
many ways. The cleaning Of the streets where
the livery men take their stand is no inconsid-
cradle item, but the language used by the
drivers, which must be heard by ladies passing,
is one of the principal objections
Chief Browns idea is to systematic the cab
service by requiring each driver to register
and make himself known at the department
headquarters by numbers, which should be dis
played on the vehicle or by badge worn by
the driver. This is not a new idea, as it has
been used in Eastern cities for many years, and
been in operation in France and England for at
least half-century. The object is to prevent
travellers from being feeced by cabmen, as was
recently done to a very prominent groceryman
and citizen of PittsburR.

CARNEGIE HALL CONTROL.

The Truth About Renting the BuiIdinE-The
Sub. Committees Meeting Last Night.
The Carnegie Free Library Commission
ceased to exist on last Thursday night, and no
renting of Carnegie Hall was done by that
Commission, except for the Allegheny General
Hospital entertainments. The CITY Property
Committee rented the hall for next Friday and
Saturday evenings before the question of Their
right TO do so was raised. As the matter
seemed in some doubt Chairman Ammon and
his associates deemed it best to go no further
until the permanent control OF the building
was fixed.
The subcommittee Of the City Property CON-
Ammon for the purpose of drafting an ordi-
nance for the permanent control of the build
ing. AS several of the subcommittee were
absent no formal action was taken. but pleas
ant discussion of the various plans was in
dulged in by those present.

WILL HEAT WITH STEAM.

The Pennsylvania nnd Fl. Wayne Roads to
Abandon the Car Stoves.
At last after much experimenting the Penn
sylvania and Fit. Wayne roads will heat their
passenger cars with steam. 1t will cost the
Pennsylvania about $3.50, 900 to make the neces-
sary changes on the cars, but they will save that
amount in fuel the first year. Atthe Union depot
before being connected with the engine, the
cars will be heated by steam from the depot
boilers. A series OF pipes have been put in to
carry the steam to the cars and they can easily
be connected with the train.
The Pennsylvania has about 1,500 passenger
cars, an d they expect to have them fitted up by
next winter.

IN FAVOR OF CONSOLIDATION.
The Jr. o. U. A. M. and Sr. O. o. A. NJ. Dis
cuusing Proposition TO Unite.

The proposition to consolidate the Jr. o. o.
A N. and the Sr. o. U. A. M. is still being
agitated. The committee to which the matter
was left by the convention held January IA in
the Moorhead building, met last night at 15S
Fourth avenue and decided to send circulars
to the councils of both orders in the eastern
portion of the State for the purpose of stirring
up an interest in the movement and to over
come, If possible, the opposition raised by the
Juniors.
The majority of the Junior councils are op-
posed to the scheme. although it is said that out
of 14S councils in Western Pennsylvania repre-
sented in the January convention, 58 had re-
ported; and of this number only four councils
were opposed to amalgamation. The Senior
order. however. was more largely represented
in the convention than the Juniors were. 1t
will be remembered that the Senior was largely
in the majority at the meeting. In fact all of
the agitation in favor of a consolidation has
emanated from the Senior order. EA-s
The matter will be kept alive until the meet
ings of the State and national bodies in June
and July. At the convention in January, of the
las councils represented by delegate or letter,
l39 are said to have favored the consolidation
and only opposed it.
