Notwithstanding the resolutions pass
cd by independent county conventions
the fact remains that there Is strong
talk Of fusion in the democratic and in
dependent ranks, and that the latter
are not the most averse TO such move.
The following clipped from the Sioux
City Journal gives q pretty fair idea oi
the nature Of the scheme on foot:
NJ. r. Harrington. Of O'Neill, who is
well known to Sioux City people
through his connection with tho Pacific
Short Line road during the earlier
epochs Of that roads history, was in the
city yesterday. He is leading sttorn-
ey and politician Of north Nebraska,
and at one time was prominently men,
toned a. . candidate for delegate to
the democratic national convention this
year.
IL would like to see him nominated,
and so would lots Of other democrats"
he said. They are tired Of Cleveland
and his goody.soody pratinss about
patriotism and duty and all that non-
sense that nobody thinks he means. !
am afraid though that it will be Clsve-
land. Next to Hill. would like to see
Boiss nominated.
But the democrats will win this year.
The northwest will do it. The orders
have gone forth from the democratic
headquarters, and are accepted by the
politicians Of Nebraska st least, with
the most Of whom I have talked. that
Nebraska, South Dakosa and Kansas
must he delivered over to the third par.
~. In Nsbrasks tho democrats will
nominate no electoral ticket this year.
OF course We will take no chancs on de-
livering the control Of the state over 10
the third party. but will have our own
state ticket. BY voting for the allisncs
electoral ticket. the 5000 third party
votes, with the 10000 democratic, will
certainly defeat the 1900 republicans.
The same will be done in the othel
states mentioned. While the dem ocrats
will gain nothing. the republicans will
lose in what has been heretofore their
stronghold. The Republicans will 81
prevented from securing . majority In
the electoral college. and there will b
no election by that body. The election
will 60 To the present house Of repre-

WORK WILL Be PUSHED.
On the asbuilding and Equipping'
OF the Street Railway Lines.
DOUBLE TRACKS ON PENN STREET
From the Steel Bridge to the state
Fair Grounds to be Laid at Once.
Better Facilities for ReaehinE
Bridgeport are ImperatiVely De-
msnded.--other improvements.

At q meeting Of the stockholders Of
the Wheeling street railway company,
held at the Office of the company, on
Tenth street, yesterday afternoon, the
board Of d~irectors was instructed 10 con-
struet the double track on South Penn
street, from the steel bridge Il thestat
Fair grounds, IS soon as possible. The
franchise for this piece Of track was
granted long ago to both the street rail-
way companies. It is the purpose to
have the track laid by September 5.
when the State Fair opens, and as rails
and ties must be bought first that
means hustllng. Mr.. W. NJ. Brown, of
New Castle, Pa, n of the largest con-
tractors in the country, was te~legraphed
tor, and arrived in the city tolook over
the ground and furnish an estimate OF
the cost Of the work. The distance to
be covered is over 2,100 feet making
over 1900 feet Of track, and the COM
pany proposes to run the cars over that
track the year round, for the accommo-
dation Of residents, with special facili-
ties for big events on the fair grounds.
On Saturday, September 5, Especial
meeting OF the stockholders Of the
Wheeling company will be held for the
purposes Of considering the proposition
Of Increasing the capital stock from
100000 to $70O.000 and Of considering
the propriety Of borrowing 100000 or
more to finish, improve and operate its
road, pay its debts, to issue bonds or
preferred stock for the amount that may
be borrowed, and to mortgage its prop
erty and franchises to secure the pay
ment Of the debt that may be con-
tracted.
One matter which is receiving the
earnest attention of the new owners Of
the street railways is the imperative
demand for increased facilities for
reaching Bridgeport. In a few days, as
an experiment, the present bobtail
mule cars to that place will be taken off,
and open summer tow cars, drawn by
mules, will be put on, connecting close
" on Zane street, Island, with the cleo
trio cars, and running to the Bridge
port depots.
The Wheeling & Belmont bridge com.
pany has been asked to raise the roof Of
It's old wooden bridge from the Island
to Bridgeport, SO as to accommodate
the electric cars. nthat company can't
remodel its bridge so al to allow the
cars to cross, the street a company
will build a new bridge of its own
across at Virginia street. 1t proposes
to cater to the Bridgeport traffic in
some way, at whatever cost necessary.
Messrs. Kimball, JollyandC Champion.
ofthe company, left last night for their
homes. They will be back next week.
They propose to pushthe work all along
the line as rapidly as possible.
Yesterday several OF the old cars
burned out, and many people had ted
ious waits, especially on the Island
loop. In a few days all the old Wander

Arrested here Yesterday EveninE-He 10
Identified.
Ed McAllen, the colored man who
killed Gabriel Molby in Brooks's restau.
rant in Pittsburgh Wednesday alter
noon, Is in the lookup. He admits his
identity.
Yesterday afternoon the following
dispatch was received at police head
quarters from Roger 0Mara, superln-
intendent OF police Of Pittsburgh:
ARREST for murder Ed. McAllen, cop.
per colored negro, "a years; B feet 4
inches; 1876 pounds; slender build;
smooth face; wore dark sack coat,
black shirt with white stripesi scar on
right cheek"
The message was read TO the men at
roll call by Lieutenant Gaus. About
z o'clock the lieutenant heard by tele-
phone that Molby's murderer was up
around the Market square. A few mo
menta aftesward some mon ran down 70
Water and Twelfth streets, where OF
hcer Jake Watson stood, apd told him
that the man who had killed Molby
was IN q barpef snop near tue AhaEAet
house. The officer, who had not at
tended roll call, being otherwise busy,
went up and arrested the man.
At police headquarters nobody
thought he was the man wanted the.
scar on the cheek was absent. Still, as
he acted suspiciously, even though
claiming TO have worked here in the
Chapline hill tunnel, it was thought
better to detain him.
At halt-past ten o'clock II. o. Myers,
a Pittsburgh policeman, who was on
McAllen's track, walked into the lookup
and identifed him. McAllen owned up,
though he had hitherto denied being
the man wanted. He said he was per-
fectly willing to go to Pittsburgh with
out requisition papers, but later changed
his mind and refused to accompany the
officer.
McAllen admits the killing Of Molby
with a bread knife, but. claims he did it
in ~selt-defense. When arrested, he was
reading the account Of the crime in
Pittsburgh paper.
