ABOUT THE LAST ACT.
Tho Affairs of the Laramie Land and Cat
tie Company Being Wound Up.

Tho Affairs of the Laramie Land and Cat
tie Company Being Wound Up.
james NJ. Hoge, formerly an attorney at
Wsynesburg, but now the authorized rep
resentative of the officers of the defunct
Laramie Land and Cattle Company, was in
Pittsburg yesterday winding up the affairs
of the company. The 1900 acres of land
owned by the defunct company has
been placed in charge of Mr.. Hoge
by the stockholders, who purchased
1t at Sheriff's sale. Some of the
purchasers, however, have not paid up
their share of the purchase money, and it is
probable that the property will again be
exposed to sale by the Sheriff. Mr.. Hoge
and one or two other former members of
the company will, if possible, buy the west
tract when it is again placed on sale. The
stockholders of the defunct company got
nothing In the settlement of the affairs, and
John Dowlin, the ex-Collector of Internal
Revenue of this district and who was looked
upon as one of the most substantial business
men in Western Pennsylvania, is working
for salary. He is managing the Bowling
q Rush Cattle Company, and he is as rap
idly as possibly disposing of the cattle and
land owned by that company.
Mr.. Dowlin has become a resident of
Pittsburg. His farms in Greene county,
comprising vast tract of fertile land, are in
the hands of strangers, and his old home
stead, one of the most substantial in Greene
county, is occupied by others. Mr..
Dowlin's personal and financial friends
have confidence in him yet, however.

B.&0 OFFICIALS IN TOWN.
The Morgantown Line to Be Completed
Next Summer.

The Morgantown Line to Be Completed
Next summer
President c. f. Mayer, with the officers
and directors of the B. and o. road. reached
Pittsburg Yesterday afternoon on the annual
inspection tour. They registered at the
Monongahela House, and will go
over the Pittsburg and Western and
Akron branch tomorrow President Mayer
claimed he was tired and refused to talk, as
did the other officials. On this trip it will
be decided what is best to be done to make
the main line through Pittsburg equal to
the traffic. One of the directors said that
the Pittsburg and Connellsville road to
Cumberland would be greatly improved,
and another track on the mountain division
is among the possibilities There are two
tracks to Connellsville, but the line
has all it can do at present to handle the
traffic offered. Running the Western
freight over this end of the road will make
the business very heavy and more facilities
will be needed. One of the plans suggested
when the Pittsburg and Western was pur-
chased was to build passenger depot at
Laughlin and have dummy meet the main
line trains. The men on the Pittsburg di-
vision don't like the scheme.
They claim it would virtually be abandon
ing the Pittsburg depot This is one of the
problems that must be solved, and from
present indications the management will
likely decide to run the passenger trains
into the city, Some time will be lost in
Pittsburg and Allegheny, but neither place
will put up with an unsatisfactory service.
The rolling stock on the Pittsburg and
Western is to be increased. The master car
builder has been looking over this end of
the system, and number of locomotives and
new cars will be ordered. The Uniontown
branch will be extended to Morgartown
next summer. 1t is expected the road will
be finished by the coming fall. This will
connect Pittsburg with the Camden system
of railroads in West Virginia, and will be
big boon to the Morgantown people.

NEXT TO CINCINNATI.

Not Great Deal of Money Is Collected
Here on Unpaid Postage.
"Oh, yes" said Colonel Hudson yester-
day at the postofice, eve get letters here
on which the postage has not been prepaid,
but the number is not nearly as large as
you would think. Cincinnati has the low
est percentage, and Pittsburg comes next.
On this kind of mail we receive from
domestic and foreign business about 81 300 q
quarter. think the foreign letters paid for
will amount to so cents per day. Most of them
are from Italy, Roumania, Hungary, and a
few other countries where preparing the
postage is optional In all such cases
double rates are charged. 1 suppose
with the Italians their friends
across the sea are too poor
to buy the stamps, and rather than not hear
from them the people on this side pay the
postage Every day almost letters destined
to Australia are returned to us from San
Francisco, because of insufficient postage.
If we know the sender the letters are sent
to them, and if we can't locate them the
mail goes to the Dead Letter Office.
Australia is one of the coun-
tries that won't accept mail unless
the postage as prepaid. When any of these

are rated, and the amount due is stamped
on the envelope which is paid here before
delivery. Most of the nations of the world
are now in the international Postal Union,
and their rates are uniform.
'The foreign population in this city give
us a great deal of trouble, especially the
Italians, who move around so much. 1t is
hard for the carriers to keep track of them
Several italian bureaus have been started
in this city, and there seems to be general
understanding among the people to leave
their names and addresses with them. When
we can't find an Italian we go to one of
these bureaus. Every man pays them
small sum, and in this way they are main
tained. A large banking concern in New
York makes money looking up foreigners.

CHRISTMAS EISTEDDFOD.

st. David's Society Is Preparing for Ono Of
the Largest Musical Compositions Ever
Held I'm Pittsburg-Seventeen Prizes Are
Being offered.
The prospects for successful eisteddfod
on Christmas Day are fattering, and the
fact that seven choirs will compete for the
chief choral prize is proof positive that the
contest will be exceedingly interesting.
While the nature of the coming festival is
of q local character, it has created more
genuine enthusiasm in musical circles than
any previous similar festival, and it
promises to eclipse in number of contest
ants all former festivals held under the
auspices of ST. David's Society.

to correct the erroneous impression that the
contests are confined to Welshmen and
their descendants. They are open to singers
of all nationalities provided they conform

on the solos, duets and Rotations, which all
the contestants are obliged to attend, other
wise they forfeit the right to appear
in the final competition. In case
the number of competitors preclude the
possibility Of allowing every contestant to
appear in public, the adiudicator will be in
position to select three or five or every
number for final contest No entry fee is
charged, and all singers are cordially
welcomed to participate.
The complete and official programme as
announced bv. the committee and
the prizes are as follows: Grand

Chief Arthur, of the Brotherhood of Lo.

last evening, bound for Baltimore. He said
he had arranged for number of gatherings
throughout the country, to meet the men
and get better acquainted with them and
their needs. Such a meeting will be held at
Baltimore to-day. and he expected to see
about 500 engineers present. He said the
order was growing, and he thought the en-
gineers were becoming more intelligent
every year.
The order is opposed to strikes, but they
do not deny their right to resort to this
method OF fixing up grievances if it is nee
essary. He added that affairs were quiet

PROVIDENCE HELPS THEM.
The Almighty Gives to the Farmers WHAT
the State Refuses

The Almighty Gives to the Farmers WHAT
the State Refuses.
Alex. Gilillan, member of the Road
Commission, said yesterday that Providence
had done for the country people what Cover
nor Pattison refused to let the State do and
that the roads this fall have been good.
The farmers in Pennsylvania as well as
other States, he stated, have never had a
better year than 81 and as result the few
Alliance organizations that were started in
Allegheny county have almost all died out
Mr.. Gilillan believes this remarkable pros
perity will have its effect on the Presiden-
tai election in 1892, and that the Republi-
cans will profit thereby. He says the effort
to get road legislation will not be abandoned
and that when the next Legislature meets
the demand will be so general from the
farmers that neither the Legislature nor the
Governor will dare to ignore it.
