THE NEW YORK CENTRAL.
BACKBONE OF THE STRIKE SAID
TO BROKEN

Governor Hill Gives Expressions tn Care
Passenger Trains Beginning to Run Re-
Guiarly.
NEW YORK, Aug. Special. The
New York Central strike is already rail-
ure. There Is q pretty general belief that
the New York Central will come out Nicto-
rious. and that the injury to the road would
be comparatively unlmportant; that the
movement Of freight might be delayed a
short time, but the road would have to
transport the bulk Of the merchandise that
would have come If the strike had not taken
place.
1t is claimed that one Of the first men 10
organize the passenger train was also the
first to take the place OF striking switch
man. lie is prominent member Of Local
Assembly 1910 OF West Albany, and at
the outbreak Of the strike was employed as
conductor on passenger train.
APPEAL TO GOVERNOR hill.
Vice-President webb to-day sent Gov
ern0r Hill an appeal for aid, showing that
the strikers We're in full possession OF the
yards at Dewitt, ana refused 10 allON Tue
company 10 control its property. He also
notified the Governor that the strikers
were threatening tO mOlest the West shore
tracks and operatives because some Cen
tral trains were moving over their lines.
HIS ANSWER.
The Governor has answered rs follows:
You may rest assured that the state au-
thOrlies will act promptly and vigorously
in protecting property and preventing Nlo-
lence. The true functions Of the military
forces should not. however, be misunder-
Stood 10 is not their business to operate
the railroads nor 10 interfere on behalf OF
either party TO labor controversy, bat
only when invited to act IN aid Of
the local civil authorities in suppressing
violence. In protecting property they are
not expected TO DO police duty. nor to dis
charge those functions which more properly
belong to the sheriff posse. The power Of
the civil authorities should be fully applied
before resort should be- had to military
force.
PASSENGER TRAINS.
Passenger trains have been run with fair
regularity. and some freight has been
moved. The principal difficulty IS at
syracuse, where the strikers are practically
in control. At a meeting OF New YORK
Central directors to-day the policy OF wee
President Webb was endorsed, and the
policy of fighting the strike was approved.

Gently offered to Pittsburg for free library
purposes. Mr.. james B. Scott was seen
yesterday and asked his opinion of the
matter. He smiled and said that everything
talked about could not be true. After some
further questioning Mr.. Scott said:
'You may say that there are strong and
almost positive intimations that Mr.. Car
negie will expend much larger sum in his
Pittsburg Free Library plan than the mini
mum sum indicated in his communication
to Councils The deliberations and
recommendation of the Pittsburg
Commission will have great weight
with him. But Mr.. Carnegie is
too we'll used to speak for himself to require
anyone's services in the role of an analyzer
of his intentions. He may take notion to
completely equip the buildings, but what
he does will be largely contingent upon the
reception his initial gift meets with at the
hands of Councils and the public.
Mr.. Scott would neither affirm nor deny
the report that he was to become the Chair
man of the Building Committeeof the Pitts
burg Commission. 1t is understood, how
ever, that Mr.. Andrew Carnegie desires that
Mr.. Scott should become the superintendent
of construction upon the building and its
branches.

A TAILOR'S PLANT.
PftrsburEers Won't Spoil Good Clothes in
Rainy Weather.

PittsburEers WOn't Spoil Good Clothes in
Rainy Weather.
This has been the winter of the tailors'
discomfort, and it is not made glorious by
the appearance of shining shekels. The
thread wielders as class are adding their
plants to the walls of the coal men, and the
open weather is the cause of all the trouble.
Big stocks of heavy goods are still lying on
counters in many of the tailoring establish
ments waiting for the buyers that never
came. And now, too, is the usual dull sea-
son when no more winter clothing is bought,
and it is too early for light coats and spring
trousers.
Said tailor last night: "This has been
a rough winter on the craft. The weather
was so warm that only light goods were sold,
and the heavy stock is on our hands. To
make matters worse, 1t rained all the time,
and people wore their old clothes. No man
is going to spoil a good suit in Pitts
burg mud, and the outcome is that less
clothes were purchased. The tailors, how
ever, are hoping to do a better business In
the spring. This sort of weather, and the
dull trade can't continue forever"

TRI-CORNERED POLITICS.
A Town That Can GET Up Contests on Other
Than Party Lines.

A Town That Can Get Up Contests on Other
Than Party Lines.
In no other place in the county is there a
stronger interest taken in politics. or, rather,
in municipal rule, than in Coraopolis The
cause is the trouble experienced during the
past four years in getting the autonomy of
the borough in shape. 1t is not the triumph
of party that is fought for, but the success of
measures looking to better borough regula-
tions, roads, ETC. These considerations have
subordinated party to such an extent that a
straight borough ticket, either Republican
or Democratic, is no longer thought OF, nor
can even a straight Republican ticket be
elected, though the place is 75, possibly 80,
per cent Republican. But while not fought
on party lines, the contests are fully as Bit
ter as the one now waged in this city, and
are likely to continue so until certain yearly
recurring exasperations are polished to
smoothness.
This year there is a three-cornered fight
on hand, and the question OF whisky or no
whisky has entered into it, and the contest
is more variegated than ever. The follow
ing ticket has been placed in nomination,
and without disparagement to any other
that may be placed in the field, it may be
said to reflect the view of large proportion
of those who foot the bills. The nominators
have christened it Citizens Ticket" Bur-
CESS, A. McCabe; Council, j. H. McAdams,
c. G. Scharpf; School Directors, George
Ferrell, Rev. William C. Neely and George
Magnus.
Though the personnel of this ticket is
almost entirely Republican, some of its
stanchest hackers are stiff Democrats
