MONEY SLOW IN THE WEST.
MIR. Barclay Says the People Are Recovering
Ero,, fI,e Receut Panic


Mr.. Barclay Says the People Are Recovering
From the Recent Panic.
Among the arrivals of street railway men
yesterday was J. L. Barclay, the Western
agent of the Westinghouse Company. Mr..
Barclay saws the affairs of the local concern
are now on good footing, and all the en-
ployes are feeling better. The company has
money and men to carry on the business
and turn out material.
Speaking of street railway affairs he said:
1.-The business has been dull in the West
for some time. Money is scarce. Strange
to say the financial panic you had in the
East last fall did not strike the Western
people until this summer. They are not
hard up: that is, they have enough money
to see them through nicely, but the
railway. men haven't funds enongh to
engage in new enterprises or make exten-
sions. Real estate transactions, of course,
have also been little SLOW AT present
the Western bankers are holding the money
or keeping it to buy grain. What wonder
ful crops we have had this year, and the
good harvest ought to do much to restore
confidence. This is not so easily done after
capitalists have had scare, and they are
very cautious now. The other day / met
a prominent Western man in New York
who was there to raise money. He said
he had had very difficult time. and the
moneyed men are chary of even the best of
bonds. There is plenty of money, but those
who have it are holding on for further de-
velopments. Many buyers of street rail-
way supplies have been holding off for this
convention. Here they will have an op-
portunity to see all the new things and
make comparisons. 1t has been my ex-
perience that good many orders are taken
during and Immediately after one of these
meetings. expect to see the business en-
joy short boom in consequence"

TAMMANY BADLY RATIFIED.

Colonel Culyer Thinks Fassett's Chance
Good to Win in New \ ork.
Colonel Culyer while busily engaged
beautifying Scheniey park, still finds plenty
of time 10 devote to New York politics.
The Colonel says the Tammany leaders are
badly ratified, and he thinks Fassett has a
good show to win.
"You have no idea" he remarked yester-
day at the Duquesne, chow much interest
the New York people are taking in the
campaign. They are deeply stirred up, and
for once Tammany is on the ragged edge. 1t
is plain they are scared when they are con-
stautly changing their plans. They haven't
been able to execute any of their original
intentions. First the people in the northern
part of the State rebelled, and warned them
not to send out on the stump their chosen
100 speakers. Tammany acquiesced, and
these men remained at home. The Demo-
cratic press is not united, and only the other
day leading organ of the Democracy in
New York City showed up in several col
umns where outside Democrats were being
colonized. The Republicans are on the
alert, and taking advantage of all these
moves. 1t is fight for blood. -

The bazaar to be given by the Ladies' Aid
Society of the Southside Hospital during

topic at the meeting of the society yester-
day afternoon. Mrs. DIR. Saddler, Chair
man of the Building Committee, reported
having visited large number of influential
people who had promised to lend the ladies
of the society assistance. Mrs. Saddler
also reported that it had been decided to
start a Thomas A. Armstrong memorial
fund to establish ward in the hospital to
be named the Armstrong ward. Contribu-
tions have already been received and prom
ises of large amounts have been made.
Some members of the society suggested
that stock certificates, styled after those of
the Garfield memorial fund, be issued to
contributors to the hospital. This idea was
first brought out bv number of persons
who said they would be willing to con-
tribute much more were they given some
thing to show for the work done. This Sug-
gestion was acted upon yesterd ", and at
the next regular meeting 200 of these GER
tifcates will be ordered and given out to all
who contribute s. or over. The society was
informed that the Young Women's Chris
tian Temperance Union had promised to
give all the assistance they could at the
bazaar
Since the last meeting the society has
been presented with large doll, christened
''Flora McFlimsey." At the bazaar she
will be one of the principal attractions. The
leading dressmakers of Pittsburg, Allegheny,
New York, Philadelphia, Boston and two or
three European cities have promised to
donate apparel for this doll The clothes
will be worth seeing, as they will even in
clude sealskin saeques. A large booth will
be prepared for Miss McFlimsey.
There will be % meals given at the bazaar
during the week, and meal tickets will be
issued for all at 81 The committe on fancy
work will meet at Mrs Theodore Schlickers,

well and Miss Nellie Whitmerc; jelly Com
mittee, Mrs. Emma Habermaa and Miss
Annie Davis, and Flower Committee, Mrs.
William McGeary and Mrs. Fullert.
The floral decorations of the auditorium
during the bazaar will be something wonder
full. The week before the bazaar opens the
annual chrysanthemum exhibition takes
place, and nearly all of the exhibitors at
this show have promised to leave their ex-
hibits for the hospital bazaar.

Delinquent Tax Collector Ford will still
send out his final notices to those who are
in arrears for city taxes on postal cards.
He has this to say about the stand Super
intendent Palmer took on the matter in

Palmer said had no right to send these
notices through the mails he was not aware
that had previously secured decision
from the department allowing me to do

foregoing. had this to say: 81 did not know
Mr.. Ford had received the privilege from

MAIL MEN IN CONFERENCE.
Provision Made for Handling the Increas,
in Eastern Postal Matter.


in Eastern Postal Matter.
Superintendents of the Railway Mail Ser
vice r. c. jackson, of New York; Burt, of
Cincinnati, and several of the chief clerks
held a conference at the postoffice yes
terday relative to the loading and unloading
York. Mr.. Burt said they met here, be-
cause Pittsburg is common ground, and
much of the mail in bulk to Western points
is split up in this city and sent out over
the various roads, Some details had to be
arranged to provide for the increase in
business, which is from 10 to 10 per cent
yearly. No radical changes were made
Within the last month a new mail train has
been put on to run along the Ohio river,
leaving here at $50 in the morning. The
additional service is much appreciated by
the people living in East Liverpool, Wells
vile and other river towns The first train
out was at 7:15 A. NJ, which is still run.
The new facilities enable the people in
these places to get their mails and papers
several hours earlier.
81 like the arrangement of the new office
very much" said Mr.. Burt. ''It is like the
Louisville postofice, which will soon be
ready for occupancy. The finest Govern
ment building in the United States is in
Cincinnati the next one is in Philadelphia,
and l think the Pittsburg office is third
One thing I notice about the new Office is
the abundance of clocks. You can't look
up without seeing timepiece hanging on
the wall, suppose Uncle Sam provided
some new clocks, and the old ones were
also put up"
Mr.. Jackson said things were moving
smoothly in New York, and there was
nothing particularly new there in the
service. Both men complimented Post
master Mexican for his energy and the in
terest he takes in the Office. Mr.. Burt is
inclined to think with many others that
Mckinley will have a walkover in Ohio.

The Fates Were Against Him.

C. F. Nieman, an Allegheny butcher, was
arrested on East street, Allegheny, last
night under peculiar circumstances. Mr..
Nieman was driving a number of cattle
along the street, and Just as an electric car
passed by, one of the animals became
stubborn and refused to move. Mr.. Nieman
struck the beast with a stick he carried,
but the stick flew from his hand and in its
fight passed through one of the car
windows. The conductor of the car called
an officer and insisted upon Nieman's
arrest, notwithstanding his offer to pay for
the damage resulting from the accident AT
the Mayors office Mr.. Nieman left deposit
for his appearance this morning.

MEN SEEKING FOR LODGING.
Plenty to Eat in Pittsburg, but Not Enough
Rooms at the Hotels.


1t grieves the hotel men to turn away
dollars every day, but that is what they
have been doing for the last month. In
most of the houses yesterday guests were
asked to double up, and many last evening
had to sleep on cots. At the Duquesne it
was impossible to get a room alone 1t is
funny to hear a man pleading for a place
where he can wash himself, but this is
what number of street railway men are
doing.
With the present supply of hotels there
is no remedy. AT the Anderson they had
several pages of names yesterday afternoon
and not rooms enough to go around. Every
man must take his turn, and there is rush
for rooms as soon as they are vacated. For
tunately, Pittsburg is never without an
abundance to eat, and there is some salts
faction in that. Nobody is going hungry.
There is enough for all.
