The Union depot presents more varied
types OF humanity, conditions of life and
humorous incidents than perhaps any other
section OF this cosmopolitan city There
was a party of four there last evening
who furnished cause for much specuIa-
ton as to whence they came, whittier bound and
what they would do when they got there The
group consisted of man. his wife. and SON
and daughter The former was attired IN an
oil coat, concealing homemade clothes and
slouch hat and wore boots, chin beard real
estate, and so summers with good deal of un-
conventionaness. He also carried feet &
inches of bone and sinew and stoop.
Mrs. Jacob Reamer was dressed in good
country garments and poke bonnet, while her
daughter duplicated her on a smaller scale, ex-
ceptng that she was prettier than her mother,
matter which would be serright IN the course
of time. Young Reamer resembled his parent,
but outdid him in the matter of mud, because,

Jacob Reamer unfolded himself for brief

were 'Jes goin' out to Messina, Wash, to see

came from West Virginia, had lost a son in the
Hatfeld-McCoy fued. and that another son had
gone to Washington to settle. Life had been
made uncomfortable for him where he farmed
and he might settle in the Territory"
"By gosh," exclaimed Mr.. Reamer, suddenly
jumping up. 'gol darned if jes didn't nigh

the baggage room- Inside of minutes he

DIPLOMAS FOR UNDERTAKES.
Chief Brown Comments on a Bill Now Be-
fore the Legislature.

CnleI DFOhn comments ON u bill NOW Be-
fore the Legislature.
Chief Brown yesterday received circular
from the Funeral Directors Association of
Pennsylvania, which is addressed to the mem
bers of the Legislature, asking their support
for House bill No. 204. The object of tLis
measure is to compel all persons desiring to
embark in the undertaking business to first
secure diploma, as in the professions of the
law, medicine and dentistry. 1t is held that
such action would result IN more careful
handling of the dead, and in many cases pre-
vent the spread of infectious and contagious
diseases.
81 am not very fayorably impressed with the
idea contained in this bill" said Chief Brown,
''In time there will be no business that a man
can enter by virtue of energy and ambition
without first obtaining diploma. / think that
every man should be free to enter the lists of
business, without the danger of being barred
by an ASSOCIATION. Of course in professions
which affect the lives of our citizens it is per-
fectly proper to prevent the entrance of incom-
petent men, but never heard of a CORPSE OBJ
jecting to the ht of its casket or the manner in
which it was embalmed."

WATER WORKS SUPERINTENDENT.
Mr.. Armstrong Tells All About His Depart
ment Last Year

Mr.. Armstrong Tells All About His Depart
ment Last Year.
The report of Superintendent Armstrong, of
the Water Works, shows that the totel ex-
penditure Of that department for the past year
was Sl2g, ,lO7 93 OF this s5L624 05 was spent in
laying water pipe, ETC.; $50 46S AZ at the works.
and SIS 67s IS for fuel. The most was spent in
the general work. The total value of the Alle-
gheny water plant is Sl.Sl4,060 The total
amount of pipe laid during the year was @, SS5
feet; $50 rew stop gates were put in, and GU fire
plugs.
Mr.. Armstrong says in his report that the
water distribution at present is close up to the
wants of the people and by extending the
36-inch main in reduced form so as to parallel
the North avenue main, in case of accident
occurring to either main the department would
still be in condition to give full water supply.
The machinery is reported to be in good con-
diton. The changing of fuel from gas to coal
will add seriously to the expense account of
the works.

EFFECTS OF THE STRIKE.

Railroad Companies Suspending Men and
Mills Closing Down.
The Lake Erie Railroad Company has sus-
pended a large number of their freight en-
ployes and the Ft Wayne Company has sus-
pended a number of their telegraph operators.
The action of both companies Is brought about
by a dullness is freight traffic. owing largely to
the coke strike which reduces the tonnage
considerably.
The effect of the strike. however. does not
only apply to railroads but manufacturing
establishments as well. Several mills will close
and there are no indications of an early adjust
mept of the trouble.

The Big Glass Plant of Chambers 8 Mckee

A wild rumor was started yesterday to the
effect that the immense works of Chambers &
Mckee. at Jeanette had been closed down on
account of shortage in gas and that 1000
skilled workmen were out of employment. Mr..
Chambers was seen about the matter and he
said:
1T is not true that we have been compelled
to close down. We have only stopped portion
of our works once this winter. and that was
during the last cold snap 1t is also untrue
that we get our gas from the Southwest Nat
ural Gas Company. We supply our own gas,
and our works are operating to their full capac-
ity. The false statements made will do US a
great deal of injury and l cannot understand
how it gained circulation"
