enable Demands by the Roads.

roads centering in fittsburg, held regular
meeting in the Anderson yesterday. The
following officers we're elected: President,
Z. NJ. Scott, of the Pittsburg and Lake
Erie road; First Vice President, A. s. Will
son, of the Pittsburg and Western; Second
Vice President, Charles Torens, Pittsuurg
and Lake Erie road; Secretary, NJ. N. Nc
Geary, OF the Allegheny Nslley Railroad,
and Treasurer, G. H. McNutt, of the Bslti-
more and Ohio. A. NJ. North, of the Erie
road, and G, Z. Welsh, ofthe Pennsylvania
Company's lines, were present as visitors.
Albert Kline, Grand Secretary of the
National Association, stated at the c'o;e
that tine order was growing rapidly. Rail-
way agents found it necessary to have an
organization to protect themselves against
unfair treatment, just as other employees
had. In the West, on several roads, the
wages of agents had been cut down, while
the pay of other employees was not touched.
To guard against such discrimination rail-
way agents all over the country were organiz-
ing into an association. Mr.. Kline said ne
had more business on hand than he could
overtake, and it still focked in.

dapper little colored man, decked

ceived another telegram stating that the ar
rest was an important" one as the prisoner

ter over awhile. the Inspector ordered Smith
to be released, as the prisoner stated that he
intended returning to Latrobe on Monday,

number is steadily increasing. Very few
changes have thus far been smade, but
clean sweep of the Republicans will doubt
less occur in the near future. The Gov
ernor has made up his mind to surround
himself with men of his own political faith.
believing that as he will be held responsible
for the conduct of the State Government the
next four years. he should have the assist
ance of$hose who are in training in the same
party to which he primarily owes his posi-
ton.
Some of the men who served under Gov
ernor yPattison's" first administration and
were retained by his successor are working
hard to keep their places. All these per.
sons were active participants in the light
against the Democratic standard bearer,
and one OF them, who owed his first office to
Governor Pattisou, showed his ingrstitude
by making 3 canvass of portion of the
coal regions to secure votes for Delamater.
There is no doubt that this will be
thoroughly Democratic administration, and
that it is perfectly willing to accept the con-
sequences.

A HOSPITAL TO ORDER.
How a Denver Doctor Managed to Get
Some of Kochs Lymph.

How a Denver Doctor Managed to Get
Some of Koch's Lymph.
IBY CABLE TO THE DIsPATCH.l
LONDON, Jan. 24.-Dr. A. j. Mener, of
Denver, COL, sailed for New York on the
Trave this week with four bottles of DR..
Koch's lymph, enough for 16, 900 injections.
DIR. Mener has been studying the Koch cure
in Berlin for two months, and has established
Koch hospital in Denver for the treatment
of consumptives.
The manner in which this came about is
somewhat peculiar When Mener arrived
in Berlin he found that it was impossible
under the new German law to obtain lymph
for any other than hospital purposes. He
did not represent any hospital, and it looked
very much d if his journey would be with
out result so Tar as obtaining any of the
precious lymph was concerned. But the
doctor did not give it up. He cabled to
Denver to establish a hospital at once,
which was done under the auspices of the
State Medical College, and then he came on
to London, where he found enough citizens
of Denver to sign his credentials as the
authorized representative of the new ipsti-
tuition.

AMERICAN PORK.
A PRO osPECT FOR AN EARLY REPEAL OF
IT'S PROHIBITION.
The Wrong Party Ghampioned the Amer
lean Hog, and the Government Slaves
the Matter Off for the Present-The
Views of Minister Phelps.

COPYRIGHTED 1891. BY THE NEW YORK AssoCI-
ATED PRESS;
BERLIN, Jan. 24.-The repeal of the pro-
hibjtion against American pork is now re-
garded as within short distance OF accom-
plishment. The weight Of the speaking
throughout the debate in the Reichstag
was all on the side of change in the law.
No prominent defender of the prohibitory
law in the Reichstag ventured to deny
that the repeal of the law would be benefit
to the masses, which are now paying high
prices for meat, even garbage being dear.
Several members, Immediately after the
division on the question, congratulated Min
lister Phelps on the early prospect of the abb
olition of the prohibitory law, or at least
modification Of the measure. MIR. Phelps
said: a
There would not even have been amajority Of
q against the motion il the opposition bad
by supporter of the Government the result
might hade been different; but how could the
Government let a combination of the Frei-
sinige and Socialist parties dictate its policy
on such an important question!
Mr.. Phelps added that he long known
that the Government was ready to modify
the restrictions In regard to American pork
American authorities seemed sufficient to
ensure the health of the German people.
The Government, he said, was not afraid of
cooked American pork, but only Of the un-
cooked article. DR.. Windthorst's declara-
tion that the Center party waited only for
the taking of sufficient precaution in
America, when the party would support the
demand for a repeal, brought the end of the
prohibition. In Mr.. Phelps opinion, Herr
Barth's management OF the motion was
admirable.
The Freisinnige party holds that the
policy hitherto pursued by the Government
cannot De maintained toward America with
out having detrimental effect upon the re-
lation between Germany and the United
States. 1t is now probable that at any rate
the prohibition against ham and bacon will
be repealed, the decision of the Bundesrath
alone being required for the taking of such
a step.

Almost Finished.

The Pittsburg and Lake Erie Double Track
Almost Finished.
1t is announced that the Pittsburg and
Lake Erie Railway Company will have its
second track finished by May, when more
local trains will be run and schedule time
made. Itis probably too much to expecs
that the work will be completed by that
time. but it is pretty well on tine way. The
work has been very heavy and costly, it
being found necessary TO change the grade
between Coropolis aud Phillipsburg. The
double tracking as far as Philfpshurg will
be completed early in next month. There
are two tracks now between this city and
Coropolis, between Beaver and Wampum,
and from Lowellville to Youngstown.
The company has the best grade TO be
found in this section, and when the work
under way is completed the road will be IN
frst-class shape in every respect. The new
bridges are of steel, and good time will be
made as soon as the freight congestion can
be overcome.

on His Cabinet
,srKcrAL TELEeRAM TO THE pIsrArcH.I
HARRISBURG, Jan. 24.-Governor Patti
son is thoroughly satisfied with the compo-

did not select other material,
but he is confident Hensel,
Harrity and McClelland will prove the wis
dom of his choice by their public actions

strict, business-like methods, will adorn the
Offices to which they have been called.
Some criticism has been passed on his ap-
pointment of an Adjutant General outside
of the National Guard, but the new Adju-
tant General is stickler for details, and
these are very necessary in the Office to
which he has been appointed.

A REMEDY FOR ANTHRAX FOUND.
Result of Experiments of Koch's Lymph
Made Upon Cattle.

Made Upon Cattle.
BERLIN. Jan. 4.-An English bacteri-
ologlst, who is notable as the discoverer of
toxalbumens, and who is now studying the
Koch method at the Hygienic Institute,
announces that he has discovered remedy
for anthrax.
Prof Bolinger, of Munich, reports the re-
suits Of his experiments with the lymph
upon tuberculosis cows. He states that in
cases where large injections were used re-
action similar to that noticed in human be-
ings was seen. Two sound bulls whIch
were treated with the fluid showed no reac-
tion, and upon being killed their tissues
were found to be in a normal condition.
PROT. Bolinger concludes that the highest
value of the lymph is to be found in the
diagnosis Of cattle suspected of having tuber-
culosis diseases.
