Petition In Fnvor of the Brighton Road
Electric Line.
An important meeting of the Allegheny
sub-Street Railway Committee will be held
tonight to consider the ordinances relating
to the proposed new line along the Brighton
road, Marquis alley, Fremont street and
Irwin avenue.
This proposed line is the one which had
the effect of bringing out nearly every
property owner on Irwin avenue and Ere
mont street as we'll as some on North avenue
to protest against it when it was up before
the committee some two weeks ago. The
residents on the line of the Brighton road
think the intention of the promoters is to
connect, not only the Pleasant Valley lines,
but the Manchester line as well, IS the
ordinance provides for an extension OF the
road along Irwin avenue to Western ave-
nue.. They therefore have signed petition
for it which contains nearly every residents
name who lives out the road.

out ahead. He believes the voters will come

Penn avenue boarding house the other
evening, as an inventory of the bill of fare
was taken; "a hard winter for the poor and
commencing earlv."
"Better be careful, you may not get tha
much BY December" was the somewhat
tart reply made by the landlady. And
sure enough. grocers say that the consump-
tion of canned goods has begun fully two
months earlier than usual, owing to the
fact that there is so little in the way of fresh
fruit or vegetables.
Said Sixth avenue grocer Yesterday:
"We will depend largely upon foreign i'm
portations this year. We are compelled to,
and in spite OF the new tariff law going into
effect. enormous orders of eatables will be
sent from this country Cost? Well, yes,
things will cost slightly, but people must
live, and they must eat in order to live"
