A correspondent in London with 800
papers on his list, for instance, paws for
sending out piece of news, after 6 p. NJ, at
an average rate of a fraction over 4 cents
per 100 words. In this way, Mr.. George
says, the vast bulk of the news telegraphing
is done. The Delaney multipieX is one of
number of American inventions in use in
England, by which it is possible to send cut
six messages over single wire at one lime.
The British Government pays $4,000 a
year royalty on it. Although it has been in
profitable use there for FIVE years. it has
been steadily refused in this country,
where the companies have NO need of in
ventiOns that would increase facilities and
reduce charges. A prodgious amount of
work, in an incredibly snort tine, is accom-
plshed in the English postal telegraph sys-
This is an English invention, transmitting
400 words a minute, and is used in newspa-
per telegraphic work. Since the Govern
ment regulation of the telegraph lines in En-
gland the number of telegraph offices has
been increased from 24SS to 1000, the rates
have been reduced more than half, and
press rates cut down to fraction over 1
cents per 100 words; and, more important
than all that, the service has been equally
and impartially cheap to all. Universal
sentiment according to Mr.. George, testifies
to the immensely greater convenience and
efficiency of the postal telegraph system,
and no one would ever think of going back
to the old plan of private companies

any kind has ever stirred the local public
to such pitch as the Monday gathering.
Its size first occupied the conversation
aud this was soon dropped on account Of the
report that the red flag would lead the
parade that is TO precede the meeting. This
latter talk has assumed large proportions and
created the highest indignation, especially
among the Grand Army men. One Of them
said tonight: II don't think the report Is
correct, but there is not one G. A. r. man
in this section OF the country that would
not shoulder musket to protect the Stars and
Stripes from insult" Another old soldier
was seen. He is one OF the Oldest soldiers
in town, and in speaking OF the
outrage was almost overcome with indigna-
ton. He said that the man who attempted
to carry such an emblem would not live to
parade it three squares. Major John A.
Stevens, when he heard of the red flag, i'm
mediately wrote to Peter Wise, the Master
Workman, and advised him to counsel
against anv such move.
THE DISPATCH correspondent inter-
viewed so strikers to-day, and out of that
number 40 said emphaticaily that the red
flag would not be carried; z thought 1t would
be mistake, and said the red flag would

WITH WOODEN MUSKETS.
STRIKERS WHO LOVE TO DRILL CREATE
GREAT EXCITEMENT.

Fear That Genuine Guns Will BE Forth
cominS-kIore Militia Needed at the Red
Flag Meeting-The Policy in Regard TO
Evlctions.
fFRoM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT
Mt. PLEASANT, April 25.-The people
of this place have reached such state of
nervousness that the least rumor causes the
greatest excitement. Therefore, when it
was stated to-day that 100 guns had been
shipped to the strikers at Standard and men
were drilling in the art OF war nightly,
people declared that blood would be spilled
at the meeting here Monday. A meeting was
held at Standard at noon to-dav, and all
sorts of rGmors we're thereby set afoat. The
meeting was held on a hill above the works,
and from Mt. Pleasant could be plainly seen
a small squad of men going through the
maneuvers of skirmish drill. Small
crowds gathered about TO discuss the situa-
tlon. The DISPATCH representative went
over to Standard and found that the men
were drilling, but their guns were wooden
affairs. Nearly all the men were at one
time members of the army in their native
country, and take this rs means of exer-
else and killing time. They have formed
company of 100 men, and every evening
they drill with their wooden pieces.
This has caused considerable excitement.
Those who were informed that the guns
were only made of wood declare that there
is reason for the drilling nevertheless, and
that the guns will be forthcoming before
Mondays meeting. Several years ago the
men here had Springfield rifles, but say
they have them no longer.
Thesmeetlng held at the Standard this
morning was merely local affair, to discuss
the eviction question. The men have
changed their minds on the question of all
leaving when the first eviction is made, and
will allow the Sheriff to throw them all out.
They will make no resistance, however, and
declare that Sheriff Clawson will have no
trouble. Several fields have been rendered
them and a number of tents will be pitched
for the accommodation of those to be
evicted.
The talk about the "red flag" meeting TO
be held here Monday continues, and another
company of the militia will doubtless be
asked for, as it is believed that there will
surely be trouble. Members OF the local
company now on duty have expressed them
selves very freely on the question. and the
feeling against the orators scheduled to
speak is very bitter. Sheriff CIawson has
issued proclamation against the congrega-
tion of strikers around the works a: More
wood, or on the roads leading thereto, for
the purpose of intimidating those at work.
He proclaims to all who wish to work that
they will be fully protected by the county
in so doing Printed copies of the procla-
nation have been posted all around the
place. -

HEAVY LEGAL TALENT
GATHER IN THE QUAKER CITY ON THE
ALLEGHENY VALLEY CASE.

Argument on the Foreclosure Proceedings
Held Before Judge Acheson-Attorneys
David r. Watson, George Shfras, Wayne
MacVeash, Judge Logan and Ex-senator
Scott Appear.
SPECIAL TELkaRAM TO THE DIsrArcH.I
PHILADELPHIA, April pa notable
gathering of legal talent came before Judge
Acheson, in the United States Circuit
Court to-day, who heard arguments in the
foreclosure proceedings against the Allie
gheny Valley Railroad, brought by the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company. TIE
litigation properly belongs to the Western
District of Pennsylvania, but was
heard here, owing to Judge Acheson's pres
ence in Philadelphia. The counsel were
David I. Watson and George Shiras, of
Pittsburg, and John G. johnson for subse-
quent income mortgage bondholders; Sam
uel Gustine Thompson for income bond
holders, principally from Philadelphia,
holding S62S, 900 worth of bonds; Samuel
Dickson, trustee for the $4,000 mortgage,
and Wayne MacVeagh, Judge Logan and
Ex-senator John Scott for the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company. g.,
The hearing was on bill, answer, and
cross bill upon application of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad for a decree to sell the
Allegheny Valley Railroad because of nom
payment of some Sc, 900, 900 coupons of the
0,000, 900 general mortgage bonds. The
coupons were sold to the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company by holders, Who received
per cent bonds, off which they were cut.
Judge Logan and Wayne MacVeagh, for
the Pennsylvania CONF panv, desired that
the sale should be made subject to the S1O,-
100000 Z per cent mortgage. Attorneys
Watson, Shiras and johnson, for subse-
quent income mortgage bondhofders, asked
that the road might be sold, but clear of
the per cent $40, ,000,00 mortgage. Mr.
Dickson, for the holders OF bonds secured
by the SIC, ,000, 900 general mortgage, claimed
that the sales should be subject to that
mortgage. 'a - +'S
The Allegheny Valley Company being
unable to pay the interest on the $40, 900, 900
as it fell due, the Pennsylvania Company,
under its contract. purchased from time to
time the coupons secured by this mortgage.
Having purchased over s4, 900, 600
of these coupons, they filed bill
to sell the mortgaged premises, subject,
however, to the principal of the mortgage.
Subsequent to the making of the $40, ,000, 900
mortgage, the Allegheny Valley became in
debted to the contractors aud Others in large
amounts, and made $40, 1000, 900 income
mortgage. The interest was to be paid out
of the income after paying fixed charges.
The representatives of the mortgage filed
cross bill and alleged certain equities re-
garding their rights. q
Large amounts of testimony we're taken,
the litigation extending over a long period.
The controversy to-day was whether the
property should be sold free and clear of
the $40, 600, 900 mortgage, or subject to the
lien of that mortgage

Printing, Railroads and Telegraphs Have an
Effect on Royalty.
The invention of the art of printing did
much for the abolition Of the divine right OF
kings, but the greatest inroads upon royal
privileges have been made by two inventions
of the present century-the railway and the
telegraph. A hundred years ago the King
could travel more rapidly than anyone else.
He controlled the means of locomotion, and
when he gave the word none but he could
have relays of horses, or in any other way
could be expedited along a route.
In like manner the King controlled the
transmission of Intelligence. The mails,
such as they existed, were literally "royaI,
and no ordinary individual could be served
by the postoffice until the King had OBJ
tained what he wished. To-day the railway
train is at the service of anyone who can
pay for it, and the private purse can secure
q Special whose rapidity cannot possibly
be excelled by anything the King may
command. Thu telegraph is open to all,
and it will flash information for the stock
broker or the cotton buyer just as rapidly
as for his Imperial Majesty the Autocrat of
all the Russias,. or the Empress Of India.

ALMOST A DISASTER.

A Little Fire Causes Much Excitement
Ed. Marshall Insists on Jumping From
Third Story window-Rescued by the
Firemen. .-.4..a .'t..t,y
At 2:15 this morning an alarm of FIRE was
sent in from box "a at Fifth and Smithield
street, caused by lamp explosion on the
top floor of No. SO Diamond street.
Edward Marshall, who occupied the
room where the explosion occurred,
became excited and broke the window and
was about to throw himself out, when the
crowd that gathered dissuaded him from do
ing so, stating that the ladders would be
there in few moments.
Marshall hung out OF the window until the
fremen arrived, when they broke into his
room and removed him and put the
fire out with q Babcock. Alter the
excitement was over it was discovered
that Marshall was Gu: severely on the wrist
and was quite weak from the loss of blood.
He was sent to the Homeopathic Hospital
in the patrol wagon.
Marshall is painter and works for Marsh
Gardener. He has occupied the room for
the past two years. Jacob Bates, wife and
daughter occupy the other rooms on the top
floor, the balance of the building being let
out as offices.
The building is owned by /. j. Wilson,
the real estate man. The loss will not
reach 500.

An Opinion That Forcing Makes People
Hate Literature.
A correspondent of the Courier Frdncais
defends the French privilege of illiteracy
on the strange ground that compulsory edu-
cation makes the mass of the peo ople hate
literature. In Germany, he says, where
every farmers and cooper's boy is dragged
to the school house, only the upper classes
read, while working people detest the very
sight of book, and associate education
with the idea of Government despotism.
In the United States, on the other hand,
where attendance at school is largely OPP
tional, almost wholly so In the South, every
farmer who can possibly spare a dime

spite of free ii. e., non-compuisory) schools
general intelligence has reached far higher
level in France than in Germany or Aus
tria.

Fair dealing is characteristic of the typ

hesitate to give him quarter to take
around the corner and get changed, but per-
sons who have carefully obseyed the dis
tinguishing traits of the newsboy would
have no such fear. A case in point occurred
within the past week., On Wednesday
afternoon a gentle man bought cents worth
Of newspapers in Park row from q small boy
whom he had never before seen. He ten
dered a 1O.cent piece in payment, and the
boy, mutering something about mo change"
clasped the coin in his dirty fist and darted
down the street.
While waiting unconcernedly for his
change, the gentleman was accosted by a
friend, who invited him into an adjacent
art gallery. When they came out the pur-
chaser of the newspapers had forgotten all
about his change and went his way without
it. The following day, as he was passing
through Park row, he was stopped by
newsboy, who brusquely remarked: "Say,
mister, why didn't yer wait fer yer change
yesterday? Here's yer cents"

Provisions Made for Shorn Lambs, but Not

The Eleventh ward, of Allegheny, has

offense. He was venerable colored man,
with hair frosted By the night winds while
he had been out loo king for the festive
birds. He also wore the name of William
Jacks ION. The testimony had been heard
and the Squire had put on his most solemn
look.
The Squire. by the way, makes hang
mans ropes, and occasionally quotes Scrip
ture, in addition to mis- Aldermanic duties.
He could see no good reason for bringing
the first accomplishment into play, so he
fell back on the latter, and looking down
on the prisoner, he said:
William. why did you steal those
chIckens?"
"'Cause had to have something to eat"

rPFCIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DTsPArcH.
SCoTTDALE, April 25.-Ex-Sheriff John
Guffy and James McBryde, of the United
Mine Workers, had an animated argument
at the Scottdale House this evening. The
tilt drew large crowd, which manifested
great interest. General Superintendent
Bremen and Doc Cole, of the Mcclure
Company, were among the eager listeners.
Guffy suggested that the three arbitrators be
appointed to amicabiy settle the coke strike.
The suggestion was taken with much sig
niticance, and may bear good fruits. Gufy
is closely allied with the coke interests, and
may have been instructed to bring up the
question-at least McBryde had two long
talks in the evening at his solicitation.
Governor Pattison will likely be petitioned
by coke region residents to try to have the
strike settled.
Labor officials report that the men at
Adelaide were paid off to-day, and that 81
was taken from each man for police protec-
tion. They state that trouble is brewing
there as consequence.
