CAMPBELL NOT CAST DOWN.

Mr.. Jones Predicts a Better and Higher
Place for the Governor.
Henry Jones, of Washington, was one of
the few Democrats who helped Governor
Campbell to fight his battles in Ohio. He
was in the city on Friday returning to the
Capital "The Governor is remarkable
man, he said. 'They say Horace Greeley
died of broken heart, because he was de-
feated for the Presidency, but it would take
more than that to kill Campbell When 1
left him yesterday morning in Columbus,
you never would have known that he had
suffered knockout. He was bright and
cheerful, and all the pangs, if he ever had
any, had disappeared. You can't
keep the Governor down, and the country
will hear from him, in the future. He is
yet sure to occupy high place in the
nation. But L must say that L never saw a
man recover from the effects of disaster so
quickly"
Before the election Mr.. Campbell said if
he was beaten for Governor he knew there
was nothing further in store for him. On
the contrary, the luke-warm support offered
him by Virgil P. Kline, Martin Foran and
Tom johnson, of Cleveland, Neal, Remelin
and the rest, and the jealousy of the lead
ing Presidential candidates, has earned for
him the sympathy of the people at large.
Many Democrats think that Campbell is
stronger than he ever was. George A.
jerks predicts that he will some day occupy
a Cabinet position.

wIDENER PLEADS IGNORANCE
Owners of the Pittsburg Traction Road
Deny the Consolidation Story.

Owners of the Pittsburg Traction Road
Deny the Consolidation Story.
P. A. B. Widener and W. L. Elkins, of
Philadelphia, arrived in the city last even
ing on the limited. They were accompanied
by President George W. Elkins, of the
Pittsburg traction road, and third gentle
man, who represents the Kemble estate.
Mr.. Widener is fresh from Europe, and
it has been frequently stated that
as soon as he returned the expected con-
solidation of the Duquesne and Fifth ave-
nue. lines would take place. When Presi-
dent Elkins was tackled for the latest in the
alleged deal he turned the reporter over to
Mr. Widener, whom he said was the one
authorized to speak for the company.
Mr.. Widener was asked bluntly when
the roads would be consolidated. He re-
piled frankly that it was news to him.
This was the first time he had heard
about it, and he didn't think there is any
thing in the report He said he had come
here to attend the annual meeting of the
Pittsburg Traction road tomorrow and to
inspect the line. He will remain for several
days He remarked casually that he had
enjoyed his trip to Europe, and then the
party disappeared into carriages that were
waiting for them. They engaged rooms at
the Anderson, but they didn't 60 there
from the depot. 1t was rumored they held
a conference with C. L. Magee late last
evening, but this is denied.
Among the stories floating around yester-
day was one that Mr.. Magee had given
orders to the Duquesne men to have the
road in good order on Sunday, as he had q
party of friends to take over the line This
report could not be verified.

TOO MUCH FRUIT THIS YEAR
No Profit in the Business for Dealers or
Growers-Good Crop of Oranges.

No Profit in the Business for Dealers or
Growers-Good Crop of Oranges
''This has been a remarkable wear for
fruit" said Tony Barcky last evening, 'but
it has been unsatisfactory to dealers and
growers. Since have been in the business
the crop has never been so large There
was too much. Those who owned orchards
a few miles from railroads didn't make
enough money TO paw for propping up the
trees, while the growers close to the
stations who had little hauling to do were
glad if they made the freight on shipments.
There was a little money in choice packages,
but nothing for common fruit Grapes were
sold in New York State for Is cents a basket
We sold them here for that price, but at
such a rate there is no profit in the business
Now all the New York grapes are frost bit
ten, and the growers must get what they
can for them. This is why grapes are SO
cheap at the opening of winter Peaches
were plentiful, but very unsatisfactory. 1t
was too wet while the crop was maturing,
and the peaches were watery. Housewives
complained q good deal about the quality.
The California fruit men were sharp They
held their stock and dried it for the can
ners.
Oranges have not been so cheap for ten
years. The crop is heavy, but the fruit is
very small Several years ago the Florida
growers turned their attention to producing
large organges. The size was satisfactory,
but the covering was thick and the puip
dry. Then they trimmed the trees TO raise
smaller, but juicier oranges The result is
they are now under size and there is more
dissatisfaction They pruned away too
much

ELECTRIC HEATERS FOR THE LIMITED
Leading Democrats Predict Higher Position for
Governor Campbell

Charles Herman, who lives a few miles
from Salt Lake City, stopped over in Pitts
burg yesterday 10 see the city. A DIS
PATCH man met him in a downtown office
in the afternoon. He had good deal to
say about the Mormons. Though Canon
and some of the other leaders have bowed
Z to the will lf the inevitable and have ex-
pressed a willingness to observe the laws,
the great body OF Mormons are defiant and
not vet subdued.
''The escheat of the Gardo House and
some of the valuable property in Brig
ham Young's estate, under the law
of 1864, has made the Mormons
very sore," said Mr. Herman. 81
understand the colony which they
have started in Northern New Mexico is
fiourishing, and 1 think in course of time
the faithful of the sect will migrate there
from Utah. The decision of the escheat
was a severe blow to the saints. and it has
convinced them that their property is not
safe in the United States as long as thev
adhere to their religious views 1t is
charged by the Gentiles that polvgamy is
still in vogue, but it is kept so well under
cover that no case has come under nv per-
sonal observation. The Mormons are strong
in the territory, and they control its politics
Salt Lake City is in the hands of the Gen
tiles, but their margin is so narrow that it
will probably be wiped out in the next cleo
tion. The Mormons are an industrious
class, and were it not for their abominable
beliefs they would be very desirable citi-
Eens."
The conversation then drifted to the
great Salton lake which formed last sum-
mer in the Colorado desert. Scientists have
concluded that it has come to stay and will
form another inland sea. All sorts of
theories have been advanced to account for
Salt Lake. The one generally accepted is
that 1t is part of the Pacific Ocean which
was cut off by an upheaval of strata in
former age. Mr.. Herman advances the ex-
PLANTATION that the lake was formed like the
one in Southwestern Colorado. 1t is fed by
internal waters, and he claims it is too far
away from the ocean TO make the Pacific
theory sound reasonable. A number of
salt works are now being erected around
the lake. The water is so briny that
a great deal of chloride of sodium is
produced. 1t makes first-clasS article for
rough purposes, and the plants are paying
investments.
The lake furnishes one of the best bath
ing grounds in the United States but it is
hard to reach in the hot weather. A rail
road runs from Salt Lake City to a point on
the lake, but so far the resort has not
proved a great success

Reduced Gas Bills.

The only way in which gas bills can be re-
duced is by the use of gas saving stoves
and gas CRATE fixtures. Demmler Bros, 526
and 52S Smithfeld street, Pittsburg, Pa,
carry large line of the very best gas stoves,
ranging in price from So so to S25 apiece,
according to size and finish, and their gas
CRATE fixtures are very simple, cheap and
easily put into the CRATE. The Leader
gas heating stoves are the most powerful
heaters in the market, easy to handle and
ornamental. The jewel champion and Chi
cago gas heating stoves are excellent heat
ers, and give universal satisfaction.
Good gas stoves will pay for themselves
in short time by the small quantity of gas
they consume, and the large amount of heat
they radiate.
Demmler Bros. also show q large assort-
ment of brass tenders, coal vases, fire irons,
dish drainers, Pasteur filters, perfection
meat cutters, empire roast pans, air moist
eners for gas fires, coffee and hot water
urns, cuspidores and an endless variety of
other useful goods for the house and
kitchen. Mwsu.
