RAILROAD UP CHEAT RIVER.
1t Is Nearing Completion and Will Be a
Short Route.

1t Is Nearing Completion and Will Be q
Short Route.
S. P. Kretzer, Assistant Engineer of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, was in Pitts
burg last night on his way down to Con-
nellsville and Uniontown. His mission
there is to adjust some right of way diff
culties of the State Line Railroad.
This new line is being rapidly
completed and Smithfeld, which lies nine
miles from Uniontown, will have COM
munication by June 1. The entire
line will be finished by next
spring, which will open up the rich
and fertile country along the Cheat river
through to Morgantown, which connects
with the road already in operation between
that point and Fairmont. where it meets the
main line of the Baltimore and Ohio The
present distance from PiItsburg to Cumber-
land is $50 miles, but by the building of the
State Line the route Is only 126 miles as
surveyed.
Mr. Kretzer does not think that pas
senger traffic will decrease on the pictur-
esque Baltimore and Ohio in winter, but
when the new road is in full operation he
thinks that summer excursionists will pre-
fer it to the old on account of the vast num-
ber of camping clubs which visit the banks
of Cheat river. Several hundred go up
there every summer. AS freight thorough
fare the State Line will be more preferable
on account of the difference in distance to
Cumberland, while it will give the Balti-
more and Ohio double facilities to expedite
matters in that direction.

7. v. POWDERLY TALKS.

He Says the Members OF the X. OF L. Are
Favorable to the Peoples Pnrty-The
Reading Deal and the Worlds Fair
Touched On.
The General Executive Board of the
Knights of Labor did not hold a session
yesterday as was intended, owing to A. w.
Wright, of Toronto, Canada, failing to get
here. He had not arrived last night, but
is expected in time for the meeting to-day.
General Master Workman Powderly, of
Scranton, John Devlin, of Detroit, John
w. Hayes, of Philadelphia, and John
Davis, of Kansas, the other members of the
Executive Board, are now at the Central
Hotel.
"We have considerable business to trans
act," said Mr.. Powderly yesterday, land
will be in session for several days. 1 done
know Just what will come up. The Roches-
ter clothing trouble may be considered,
together with a number of other grievances
from different parts of the country. 1t has
been said the knights of Labor leans
toward the Peoples party. This is true as
far as the members are individually con-
cerned. The greater number of them will
vote that ticket in the future.
81 do not think the Reading deal will be
brought up in our meeting, it may be
though. As far as 1 am concerned 1 am
opposed to the Reading deal. 1 think it
unfair and unconstitutional I think it's
the Governors duty to denounce it as
such.
'There is great deal of talk Just now of
closing the Worlds Fair on Sunday. Some
labor organizations have expressed them
selves as being in favor of closed gates. I
am not, unless the people of this country
are willing to close all workshops on Sun
day. There are things which run year in
and year out on Sunday that do great deal
more harm than the fair will do"
Messrs Powderly and Wright will ad-
dress a mass meeting in Lafayette Hall to-
night. Labor affairs in general will be dis
cussed

RISING ABOVE THE TIDE

The Moorhead-McCleane Company Will
Meet Its First Payment on Time.
The Moorhead-McCleane Company is
swinging swiftly above and away from its
recent embarrassment. The old firm is still
operating the plant, but the creditors have a
representative present in the person of Su-
perintendent j. H. Miller. The basis of
the compromise was as follows: First
year, 10 per cent; second year, 10 per cent;
third year, Is per cent; fourth year, % per
cent; fifth year, 25 per cent
When running full-handed the capacity
of this mammoth mill is: 40 tons OF sheet
iron, 80 tons Of skelp iron, so tons of tank
iron and 80 tons of armor plate. This
makes the creditable total of $50 tons Not
withstanding the recent desertions all along
the line of the oldest and most skilltul en-
ployes, the Soho mills have, in spite of ad-
verse influences, weathered the storm and
will be prompt with the last payment to
those who gave them the extension.

statement was made, also DR.. Graham"
Dr. G. G. Graham testified: II received
this man Thursday, May 8, 1892, from the
Sheriff of Cambria county. He said he knew
nothing of the case except that the man had
been very violent and be received an order
from Court to bring him here, and that he
had jumped from the window and taken
sash with him and got up, shook the sash
from him and ran away.

"He was again captured, and when
he went to bring him here he was
so bad that they had to knock
him down with club or stick to
bring him along. examined him and
found cut on his head. He died at P.
NJ on May 9, 1892, and sent for his friends,
and when they arrived this morning in
sisted on post mortem examination, and
they consented, and opened the skull and
juries produced death. The injury on the
top of the head was only super
fetal, as he got up and ran, but
other injuries found were produced later.
There was an infamed condition
of the brain, and clot of blood. I exam
ined the organs and found none unhealthy.
The lungs were filled with air and there
were no adhesions. The heart and lungs
were normal. The injuries would be pro-
duced by blunt instrument such as would
not cut the scalp. The injury was received
upon the opposite side from the laceration
of brain tissue.
Death Came From . Beating.
II cannot see how the injuries or fracture
I found could be caused by his fall or jump
from the window as described at all, as the
prominence of skull would receive the
bruise first, and it did not in this case.

brought him, would recognize the man
who said he had to hit him with
a club to bring him along, and thought
at the time that the cut on the head was
what he referred to, but my post mortem
examination reveals the fac: that he was
beaten on the head by some blunt instru-
ment Two fractures show depression of
skull. Where they struck him at cannot
say"
The inquest will be continued on Sstur-
day afternoon, when it is expected that the
deceased's friends from Cambria county
will attend.

BUY THE CHEAPEST COAL.

Mr.. De- Armitr Says the Selling Price and
Not Quality Governs Railroads.
w. P. De Armitt started for Duluth last
evening to attend the meeting of dock
company in which he is interested. He
says the Hooking Valley operators continue
to whine about the equalization of freight
rates and the superiority of Pittsburg coal.
The purchasing agents for railroads don t
buy coal on chemical analysis, and they
never stop to inquire which coal will
do the most work. They don't understand
this business. All they ask about is the
price, and the lowest one gets the contract
from the boards.
Mr. De Armitt added that the haul from
the Hooking Valley is 80 miles further to
the lakes than from Pittsburg. The opera
tors pay nothing for this extra distance.
In addition their digging costs less. AL
together he claims that the local operators
have not yet received from the railroads
what their location entities them to.

The Thirty-sixth Ward Building Dec AIRED
to BE Unnt for Its Purpose-A Vote to
Be Taken on Putting Up Another struc-
ture.
There is trouble in the Thirty-Sixth Ward
School Board over the unsanitary condition
Of the schoolhouse, which bas been in use
for more than 45 years, and all the repair
ing and additions made to it the past few
years have only proved useless expense.
Parents whose children occupy rooms 2 and
4 make frequent complaints about tho
dampness and bad light of these rooms, Civ
ing the children colds and affecting their
eyes, and no remedy seems possible except
to erect new building on the site of the
old one and to put in proper drainage.
Some taxpayers, on the other hand, who
either have no children or whose children
are grown up, object to an increase of tax
which such a change will necessitate, and,
as the sentiment is nearly divided, the
school directors are undecided what to do.
The building, which faces on Steuben street,
near the city line, rests on the hillside and
water is continually soaking through the
stone wall into the schoolrooms, often rem
dering the blackboards useless and necessi
tating fire at all times in the lower part of
the building to diminish the dampness.
More than half the children of the school
are quartered in the old wing, and the
school is increasing in number all the time.
President H. G. Bankerd, of the School
Board, said yesterday that a resolution will
probably be presented at the June meeting
of the board asking for vote from the citi-
zens of the borough on the question of
erecting new school building. He added
that the new wing would be built just be-
low the brick building and the old wing
used for school purposes until the new one
is completed He also states that the
Thirty-sixth ward school is run on less
money than any other school in Pittsburg,
s., 900 being expended upon it yearly, with
on attendance this year of 4O6 pupils He
says the building is undoubtedly the most
unfit of any in the State, and it is due to
the extreme care of the teachers in charge
that sickness is not more widespread among
the pupils.

The DISPATCH yesterday published the
story of the murder of Mrs. Ann Newbv, at

medical student to whom the BODY was
offered, Is now in Allegheny visiting his
father. He was seen last night and tells
the following story:
Along about the first of Nav 1 was walk
ing near the Pennsylvania University
building and came upon q dental student
and a colored man of about 45. The colored
man was trying to sell the young man a
body, but as he was dental student he had
no need for it, and turned the fellow over to
me. The man told me his name was John
south sixth street, Camden. He gave ave-
me the startling information that
he had good fat corpse of a colored woman
20 years old. He said she was fat and Juicy
just the kind doctors liked. i asked him
where she was and he said at his home. l
did not quite understand how to get
her to the college if l had wanted
the corpse. Moqlten noticed this and
said that would be an easy matter
a. she was still alive. This startling infor-
nation stunned me, but the man was not at
loss how to answer. He suggested that 1t
would be an easy matter to destroy life
after had performed all the operations
might desire to. Mouten told me to come
to his house with a wagon and tell the old
woman was from the Philadelphia Home
for Aged Colored People. She wanted to en-
ter the Home and would 20 with me- All
that was to do for him was to get $3.50 that
was on the old lady's person and give it to
linn.
asked him why he wanted to remove the
lady. lie said she had grown so old that
she was no Longer fit for anything but dis
secting table. l told the man 1would see
him in a few days. l then informed the
police. Two of them went to the house in
the disguise of medical students and were
told the same story.
There is a general opinion among the
colored people near the University that IL
they knock one of their number down and
take the corpse into the school they can sell
it. l suppose this is what Moulten had in
view when he killed the woman.

opinion among the voters, which was all
one-sided,a "a few scattering votes being given

beneath the food of ballots cast by the
ladies in favor of Camellia, the queen OF
