utes late on its arrival last evening. The

tales of the food The porters think the ex-
press was unable to leave St. Louis last
evening. About 1000 feet Of the
Vandalia Railroad tracks are washed
away, and that part of East
st. Louis below the railroad is badly SUBJ
merged. A large gang of men is at work
dammjng up the water to prevent more
damage being done. The only road open
into St. Louis is the o. & NJ, and all trains
are running over its tracks. The porters last
evening declared that the water in the river
is within feet of the top of the big bridge
A large number of engines and cars are

TAPPING THE ORE REGIONS.
Surveying for a New Railroad Suggested
by Great Possibilities.

Considerable speculation has been caused
in St. Lawrence county by the survey and
location of a new railroad which is to be
built some IA miles along the Slippery Rock
Creek Valley, in St. Lawrence county.
The survey has been made and active
preparations are going on for the laying of
the lire, and it is now said that they arc not
only to connect with but will be part of
the Ellwood lines. The truHk lines that
nov run there are the Pittsburg and West
ern, or rather the Baltimore and Ohio; the
Lake Eric and the Fort Wayne. The new
line projected from Ellwood up the Slip
perry Rock region will reach the very center
OF the ore and stone producing regions of
the county, and it is believed it will be
used as a feeder for the trunk lines

A NEW SHINING INDUSTRY.

Pittsburg's Evolution Toward Becoming q
Fuli-Fleds'd d Metropolis.
Pittsburg is becoming more metropolitan
in her ways every day. A new and well
come industry sprung up yesterday in the
form of permanent bootblack stand on
Smithfeld street, with soft lu1uriously
cushioned seats. fans and other welcome
accouterments that will please the heart of
the lounger far more than plain words can
tell. The Jealous little bootblack, in his
first evolution toward becoming a million
aire or roulette roller has established this
welcome stand, and now the itinerant
'blacks," who carry their kit with them,
will have another opportunity for becoming
jealous
The metropolises of the East and West
can smile at Pittsburg no more. 1t has a
permanent bootblack stand.

Falls to Ellwood City is being rapidly
pushedto completion. The return current
wire has been finished, and within short
time cars will be running over the road.
This is the first railroad in the State which
runs electric cars over standard gauge
track, and will probably be only begin
ming of an era in electric railroad traffic.

ONE OF FIlzPATRIcK's FRIENDS

Thinks He Should Have Had tho Same
show Given Other Murderers.
A friend of Patrick Fitzpatrick, the mur-
derer, who is to be hung Tuesday, called at
THE DISPATCH Office last night. He had
prepared list ofa number of men who had
committed murder in the past eight years
in Allegheny county. He said all these
men were under the influence of liquor at
the time they committed their crimes. On
this account they were not hung. He
thinks the same leniency should have been
shown to Fitzpatrick.
The list is as follows: Ed Slatterv, James
Kane, Paddy McGraw, John Robinson,
John Kane, Hess ("Bloody") Abernethy,
Policemen Charles Jones and Evans.

MARSHELL,
THE CASH GROCER,
WILL SAVE YOU MONEY.

According to our poets, Winter
frequently fingers in the lap of Spring.
We are afraid the naughty girl en-,
joys it, too, for now old Winter has
deserted her, she is doing the "linger-
ing" act herself and is flirting out
rageously with Summer.
We don't know what can be done
to chase her off, unless we get after
her with the overworked old "Blue
Laws"
If the L. & o. don't scare her, we
fear she is beyond hope. Go, she
must, and as she goes the flies will
come. Are you ready for them1

East last evening. He said he was too busy
to talk about the Monongahela House, but

He seemed surprised that the report of

lished. The general opinion is that Mr..
Montgomery has bought the hotel, but the

Worrying Over the Traction Ordinances.

Attorney Carnahan and several directors
of the Pittsburg, Allegheny and Man.
chester Traction Company called on the
Mayor yesterday in the interest of the ordi-
nance, now before His Honor, giving them
right OF way over Fourth avenue, Wood,
Market and Liberty streets. The Mayor, it
is understood, gave them little satisfaction,
he not having decided what he will do with
either that or the Exchange Railway ordi-
nance. The Mayor will probably sign the
ordinance OF the Bloomfield Company.

c. L. Magee was asked yesterday if it was
true that he had been East to confer with

cause he had been robbed; but this is
the policy of the reform" adminlstra-

mans prowess. He was knocked down
by brace OF highwaymen on DaytOn'S
bluff late Sunday night and robbed. He
called Justify for help, and PatrOlman
Williams happened to be in the near
vicinity. He placed not only the
two thugs under arrest, but
poor Erickson was also thrust
into a cell and held in common
with the felons. The two robbers gave
the names of John McDonough and
William Butterteld in the municipal
court yesterday, and although Erickson
had suffered incarceration just as they
had been treated to, he was merely OIL

The case was continued until today for
an examination, and it is rumored that
Erickson has good case for false i'm
priSOnment.
