IN spite of denials an dalleged false reports,
there seems 10 be something in the talk about a
route 70 Boston from New-YOrk by tile way Of Long

that express trains 20 be run to oyster Bay from
which fast boats would carry passengers across the
sound, to connect with other fast trains TO Boston,
The fact that passengers will have 10 cross the Eas
River by ferrybOat and then make two other changes
before entering the for Boston will hardly end
10 make this route popular one American travellers
are decidedly ayeFse 10 many unnecessary changes.
This announcement however, furnishes what IS
known food for thought, or a. least for memory ,
for when the present main line Of the Long islahu
Railroad built away back In the fortiei II was
constructed as a link in a quick route from the
metropolis Of New York 10 the metropolis OF New

CANDIDATES PUT IN LINE.

Republicans and Democrats Hold Prima-
ries in a Number of the Wards-Some
Lively Contests for School Directors
Among the Southsiders.
The Twenty-eighth ward Republicans had
lively time at their primary meeting held
last night in the school house on Fourteenth
street. The fight was upon School Directors.
of whom there are two to be elected. Last Sep
tember DR.. j. d. Thomas, one of the directors
resigned, claiming that the board had wasted
the taxpayers money in refurnishing
the Birmingham School. He was candi-
date last night for vindication.
The result of the primary was as follows:
School DirectOrs-A. K. Duff, 159 votes,
William McGeary, 207 votes. and DR..
Thomas, 131 votes; Assessor-Fred Fieger;
Assistant Assessors-A. Haunstein and
Richard Perry, who is known as the ''re-
nowned puddler." 1t is understood that
DR.. Thomas will run despite the result of
the primary.
The Democrats of the Twenty-eighth ward
also held their primary meeting last night
with the following result: School Directors,
John Seibert and Joseph Laughren; As
SCISSOR, A. j. Hartman; Assistant Assessors,
John Lauth and j. j. Thornton. No con-
stable is to be chosen this year.
The Republicans of the Twenty-fi tn ward
were to have held their meeting last night,
but owing to the absence of quorum it was
postponed until next Tuesday evening.
The conviction Of Alderman Doughty
left vacancy in that office in the Sixteenth
ward. The present incumbent is T.. j.
Chalfant. having been appointed by the
Governor: Last evening the Republicans
held their primaries, the candidates being
nf
Candless and Alexander Wilson. Chalfant
was nominated, receiving four more votes
than Simon. The Democrats will hold their
primaries this week.
The Republicans of the Twenty-sixth
ward last night held their primary election,
with the following result: For School
Directors-Henry Franz. 414 votes; Robert
Blaze, 308 votes, and J. Milton Duff, 408
votes. For Assessor and Assistant Assessors
Charles Miller, 494 votes; John n. Jarrett,
261; David Baldwin, 257, and John NJ.
Clark, 210. The successful candidates are:
For School Directors, Henry Franz and J..
Milton Duff; Tor Assessor, Charles Miller;
for Assistant Assessors, John n. Jarrett and
David Baldwin.
Ninth ward Republicans of Allegheny at
their primaries selected the following candi-
dates: Common Council, David Roderick
and D. F. Graham; School Directors, Will
lam j. Buchanan and Charles Breitweisser;
Ward Assessor, David Davis; Assistants,
Charles Yost and Philip James.
The Democratic primary of the Twenty
fourth ward, which was held in the Wicker
sham school building last night, was by far
the liveliest of any primary held on the
Southside this year. About 500 men were
present, and the meeting sometimes got be-
yond the control of the Chairman. An ad-
journment was at last found necessary be-
ore any selections we're made.

on the capital stock; that Haas
and Haley never received $500, 900
from the company for the property, in fact
they were never paid any money by the
company on account of said purchase, but
they did get $500, 900 in shares and the other
$500, 900 mentioned as consideration was
taken by defendant. John Dowlin and Will.
lam T. Lantz in fraud of the company, its
creditors and stockholders, without their
having paid any consideration for it.
As to the Money Actually Paid In.
Neither John Dowlin." says the afiant,
"nor any one else in Pittsburg had, at the
time defendant made these representations,
subscribed 81, in good faith, to the capital
stock of the company; neither had the COM
pany then paid Haas and Haley in cash for
the transfer of the property to the COM
pany, as defendant alleged; but that
on the other hand, defendant, Dowlin,
and Lautz had issued to themselves $50 900
of stock, without any consideration and in
fraud of the company, its creditors and
parties sold S120, 900 of stock and received
$4,000 for it from bona fide purchasers,
which sum they never turned into the COM
pany's treasury; that they applied ST., 600
of that sum to the company's liabilities, ap-
propriating $50, 900 to themselves, Haas and
Haley, together, and about $50, 900 to their
own uses and benefits; that the $1,000 of
shares issued to Haas and Haley were largely
without consideration and in fraud of the
company, as the property was encountered
by vendors and other liens to the full ex-
tent of Its value"
The statement then concludes by declar-
ing that at the time of this purchase of
stock plaintiffs relied on defendant, in
whom they had faith and confidence, be-
lieving his declarations and representations
to be trus; but that defendant Rush then
knew we'll and understood the company to
be hopelessly insolvent as result of de-
fendant's corrupt and fraudulent acts in
confederation and conspiracy with the other
manager OF the company, and with others
unknown.
The above affidavit is sworn to by Thomas
c. Gabler, and is the product of months of
labor on the part of himself. his attorney
aud others, who are interested in the out
come of this suit

especially in districts where saloons were
not three miles apart, as in the previous
year.
The testimony of officials whose business
to note its effect, IS that while the Brooks
law has produced a radical improvement in
the personnel of dealers, it has led TO an
enormous consumption of liquors in famil-
les, for the remedy of which need of further
work is felt. 1t has also Convinced many
people that in the absence OF moral restraint
laws are powerlesS.
Chief Brown on the Brooks Bill
J. o. Brown, Chief of the Department of
Public Safety, stated yesterday that he re-
garded the Brooks law, properly admins
tered, a step in the right direction. He
thought there should be 400 saloons in this
city, distributed according to the demand
for stimulants, and that the num-
be reduced to 25 or so. He thought
that number would supply the wants of the
city and the reduction would do away with
the dens that are merely retail shops of a
poor quality of liquor, one of which in a
neighborhood is more demoralizing than a
score of saloons.
Chief Brown states that the department
will not furnish the Court with list of ille-
gal sellers as last year, as the Chief thinks the
harvest did not pay for cultivation and seed,
many of those who defed the law, he says,
being granted license. A representative of
the department will appear in court and
protest against license being granted TO
law-detying applicants, especially to those
who have been running dives under the
guise of wholesale houses.
Inspector McAleese holds that it would
be much better if the granting of license
were under the control of the Department of
Public Safety, as its members are in bet
ter position to judge of the merits and de-
merits OF applicants than are the Judges Of
the courts

Robert Nourse Much Pleased With Step
MAX, the Russian.
Robert Nourse, the Washington lecturer,
was at the Anderson yesterday. He spent
most of his time in talking to Stepniak, tine
Russian Nihilist. Stepniak told him that
Count Tolstoi was doing great deal of
good in Russia through his works, which
are extensively read and circulated.
Would you be sent to Siberia if you
went back?" Mr.. Nourse asked him. Step
MAX replied that only those who had done
nothing were sent to that country. He
wouldn't go there. "Would you be hanged?"
he continued. The Russian shrugged his
shoulders, and remarked. Perhaps 500
Mr.. Nourse stated that the Americans
had a wrong conception OF Nihilists, whom
they compare to Anarchists. In Russia
the very best people are advocates of Nihil-
ism, and their object is to reform the Gov
ernment and make it more liberal and less
despotic and cruel.
