Pennsylvania Oficials Complain About the
Dull Traffic.
President Roberts and his party went over
the Pittsburg, Virginia and Charleston road
yesterday and inspected the new yards at
Walls. 1t was reported that the road in
tended to add a new span to the Panhandle
bridge, SO that Pittsburg, Virginia and
Charleston passenger trains could run onto
the road without backing. Superintendent
of Motive Power T. N. Ely said last evening
at the Duquesne that no such improvement
was talked of. The freight trains run over
the Ohio connecting bridge, and it is suf-
ficient. The passenger trains will continue
to back on the Pittsburg, Virginia and
Charleston tracks as usual
Mr.. Ely stated further that the business
was SO dull this year that as little new work
as possible would be done. Tho company is
curtailing expenses at every point. He
said also that when it was decided to build
a new depot in Pittsburg that the people
would know all about it.
Chief Engineer w. H. Brown arrived las
evening, and will go with the party to-day.

MORE LIQUOR MONEY.
Downtown Saloon Keepers Do Not
Fear the Raised License.
SPEAK-EASIES MAY BE PLENTY,
But the Police Department Will See t.
Keeping Them Down.
SMALL DEALERS WILL SUFFER MOST

There was much talk yesterday over the
approval of the new license law by Governor
fatt1son. Nearly everybody expected the
Governor would sign It, but the fact that he
had done so made it a settled fact that next
years applicants for a license will have to
be ready with 8, 900 for the privilege. City
officials hail with delight the prospect OF in
creased municipal revenue from this source
Provided there is no decrease in the number,
the city will next year receive about s3O0, 900
from license fees, getting $500 out OF each
one.
Among the downtown saloon keepers the
lueas generally expressed were in favor of
higher license, on the ground that it would
give better saloons, while a few believe it
would not make any change. When John
Newell was seen he said: II believe the new
law Will not make much difference down.

OF applicants for license and increase the
NUMBER OF speak-easies. Saloons about tho
mills will still exist, q because there

than 81, 900 year rent, and can get barten-
ders for $40 q week, while on Fifth avenue
our rents are from 5000 to 1000 year, and
our mixed drink men cost us at least SIS a
week. Lawyers fees, license and business
tax costs the downtown men at least 81. 600 q
year, and then will only increase 1t $500. 1
do not believe there will be any difference
in the quality of the drinks served"
lar license would be good thing for the bet
ter class of saloons, but he did not think the
smaller ones could stand 1t, or If they did,
would be forced to sell inferior goods.
Michael Frey, of Diamond street, thought
it would be n good thing for the men in his
class who do large business, but he did not
see how the men outside could stand the
raise. He believed they would be forced
out of the business, or be compelled to sell
cheap liquors. In fact, he thought there
was dangerof that if the business was mo-
nopolized, as it was in 1888. He said there
never was such poor whisky sold in Pitts
burg as during that period. He further be-
lieved that there would be a great harvest
for people who could get license just out
side the city line.
Matt Weiss was too i'll to be out yesterday,
but the manager of his place believed there
would be no ldecrease in the number of ap-
plicants, because each one would believe
the others would not apply. To his mind
the outside men could afford the increase
better than those centrally located, for the
reason that their rents are not one-fifth the
amount necessary on a Smithfield street or
Fifth avenue place. He did not believe any
of the leading saloon keepers could afford
to decrease the quality of their drinks be-
cause trade always drifted toward the best
liquor.

WILL BE WELL TESTED.
Councilman WarmcastIe Says If His Smoke
Ordinance Is Passed 1t VIII Go to the
Supreme Court-Win Be a Police Duty
to Enforce 1t.

u
to Enforce It.
The question of whether the city has
power to enforce the use of smoke consum-
ers will be de finitely settled before many
weeks. The refusal of Governor Pattison to
sign the bill requiring their use has created
considerable comment, as the Governor
gave as his reason the fact that city govern
ments already have power to regulate nui-
sances. Several gentlemen have decided to
find out just what the city can do in the
matter.
Select Councilman Warmcastle has given
notice that he will introduce an ordinance
at the next meeting of Councils providing
for the use of smoke consumers on all man.
ufactories. He expects some opposition to
the ordinance, but is confident of getting it
through. The next question will be to have
the matter tested in the courts. Chief
Brown, when asked about the matter yester-
day, said:
"The Governor says cities have the right
TO regulate nuisances, but it is vet to be
legally shown that smoke is q nuisance.
This can only be settled in the courts
Smoke consumers, or rather auto
matte feeders providing perfect combustion,
are very expensive things, and many small
establishments will find the additional ex-
pense rather hard to bear. For this reason
/ believe there will be some opposition to it,
The regulation of the smoke nuisance will
doubtless come under the supervision of the
police. In that case will insist On it being
thoroughly tested"
1t is Collector Warmcastle's idea to have
the question settled by court.
81 will introduce the ordinance at the next
meeting of Councils" said he, "and as soon
as passed will see that a test case is taken to
the court. After the lower court has taken
action it will be sent to the Supreme Court,
SO as to have its legality established beyond
all question"

NOT A STONED TRAIN.
Special Agent HougIton Corrects an
Exaggerated Report.


Exaggerated Report.
Special Agent Hampton Houghton, of the
Pennsylvania road, was laughing yesterday
about a scare head that appeared in the
evening papers few days ago to the effect
that the Greensburg accommodation had
been stoned near Braddock. 1t transpires
that several little shavers were amusing
themselves throwing stones near the track,
and a stray one struck q car window.
Neither bricks nor cobble stones were
thrown, and nobody had teeth knocked out,
or received a severe scalp wound.
"In my experience" continued Mr.. Hough-
ton, II seldom ever found anyone malicious
enough to stone train. 1t would give
them no satisfaction and it Is very danger
GUS business. Frequently little children
playing near the tracks will give us trouble
by placing objects on the rails, and some
that will strike q car. Not1ong ago colored
child near Braddock put piece
Of plank in front of the
Uniontown express. The little
chap never realized what harm 1t might do.
Fortunately, the engineer sawit in time and
stopped the train. In such cases we hunt up
the parents and warn them to keep their
children away from the road. If the offense
is repeated, we hold the parents responsible,
and we prosecute them for malicious mis-
chief. 1 never take much stock in these
stoned-train stories. Some people are very
hardened criminals, but they are not with
out little sense and reason"

night The key was found among the Others

HEARD THE ARGUMENTS.
Attorney Bremen Alleges Conspiracy in an
Injunction Suit.


The Judges of Common Pleas No. yester-

injunction in the case of McCandless & Kin
zer, the contractors, against j. O'Brien, E.
Broderick, j. Johnston, James Stewart and
Charles Whiteside, members of Bricklayers'
Union No. 2. The Injunction asked for is to
restrain the defendants from interfering in
any way with the bricklayers in the employ
of the plaintiffs at the new theater of Alvin
Joslyn. j. S. Ferguson appeared for the
plaintiffs. He presented a number of affida-
Wits to the effect that the defendants had
annoyed the workmen, and had prevented
them from obtaining accommodations at a
number of hotels,
w. Bremen, the attorney for the de-
PENDANTS, opposed the motion. He asserted
that the plaintiffs had not come into court
with clean hands. They were leagued to-
gether in the Builders Exchange to depress
wages, control labor and regulate the sale of
building material. At the conclusion of the
argument the Court took the papers and re-
served decision.
