The b. & o. Has Decided to Make q Division
From Cumberland to Akron.
It has been learned on good authority
that circular will be issued by the Balti-
more and Ohio road in few days making
one division of the line from Cumberland
through Pittsbrg to Akron. Third Vice
President E. G. Lord was in the city on
Saturday looking over the ground. The
headquarters for the division will be in
Pittsburg. The officials hope to put on a
through passenger service to Chicago in the
spring. The only thing remaining is what
changes, if any, will be made along the line.
1t is not believed by railroad men that any
of the local officials will be dropped. Both
Superintendent Holbrook, of the Pittsburg
division, and Superintendent Patton, of the
Plttsburg and Western, are valuable men,
and they will have their hands full to look
after their sections of the road with the in
creased business. In addition they are
personal friends of Second Vice President
King, who appointed them. The work of
Strengthening the Pittsburg and Western
and the Akron branch is going on rapidly
under the direction of Engineer w. w.
Manning, formerly Of the Pittsburg
division.
A special train of three ears containing
the leading officials of the Baltimore and
Ohio road and a number of New York and
London bankers reached Ellwood from
Chicago Sunday afternoon. The party put
up al the Hotel Oliver, and spent the after
noon looking around the town. The Balti-
more and Ohio officials started for Baltimore
yesterday morning and the bankers went
East. They expressed themselves as well
pleased with Ellwood. The Baltimore &
Ohio people were arranging the final
details to run tine main line through
Pittsburg.

Waiting for Crop Returns.

c. Seymour Dutton, Youngstown iron
agent, left for Harrisburg las: evening.
He says the iron business continues to be
dull in the Mahoning and Shenango Val
leys. Mr.. Dutton thinks the iron men
have figured too much ON an immediate dis
tribution of the money from the sale of the
large crops. 1t will take some time yet to
get the proceeds into the hands of the farm
ers. Considerable development is expected
in the Northwest when this OCCURS If the
building operations are extensive this sum-
mer demand for nails and iron materials
will be created. Mr.. Dutton adds that in
the last few years large number of fur
naces and mills have been built. It is a
hard thing for the country to keep the pace.

THE COMING CONJUNCTION.

The Meeting OF Jupiter and Venus Con-
Close Proximity the Only Point-It Oc-
ours at Cos on Saturday Evening.
Astronomers as rule are not advocates
of astrology: Notwithstanding this fact,
the exclusive story in Yesterdays DIS
PATCH regarding the coming conjunction of
Jupiter and Venus caused vast amount of
interest among all classes of people. Prof.
j. E. Keeler, who sits up nights and studies
objects of planetary Importance, was asked
his opinion of the matter.
II attach very little significance to the
conjunction of Jupiter and Venus" said he,
"and the scientific researches of the Eastern
astronomer will not go down in history as a
startling discovery. There is not year
that these two planets don't come in con-
junction with each other. The only point of
interest in the event of February 6 is their
close proximity for short period. Away
back before the invention of the telescope,
when this occurrence happened the peo-
pie who gazed at the two planets with
naked eyes thought it was an extraordinary
phenomenon, because they seemed so close
together that they could not be distin-
guished one from the other. The super
stIlous Iolk thought sucn conjunction
meant terrific collision of two stellar
worlds, which would be followed with aw-
full results. If you observe the conjunction
on Saturday night through telescope you
will notice that the planets are many miles
apart, if you can reckon distance in the
skies by such measures. We will not have
an advantageous position, such as is af-
forded Australia, but it will be witnessed
by us sufficiently we'll enough for all the i'm
port it is to science. The conjunction can
be witnessed by Pittsburgers at about 6:O5
p. NJ"
Prof Brashear and Chancellor Holland are
not inclined to go into ecstacies over the
conjunction, and will gaze upon the heavenly
commotion as an ordinary astronomical oc-
currence.

Tramps Steering Clear of Allegheny.

Allegheny has long been known as a
mecca for tramps. In the lookup separate
room was fitted up as tramp department,
and here the knights of the road were al
lowed to lounge and protect themselves
from the wintry blasts Chief Murphy, on
gazing over the reports of last month, dis
covered that 800 of these homeless beings
had been furnished shelter by the city. The
Chief concluded that this was rather press
ing good thing, so he issued orders that all
tramps loaing about the city in mills and
other places should be arrested and sent to
the workhouse. This proclamation evi-
IDENTIFY reached the ears of the tramp
fraternity, for in the last two nights there
has not been an appeal for lodgings.

LOCAL FOOTBALL PLAYERS MEET

Two or three of the directors of the local
ball club talked in very plain terms regard
ing the new League yesterday afternoon.
One who is known as a very conservative
and cautious gentleman went so far as to
say that he heartily concurred in the sug-
gestion of G. w. Williams to start new
Association. He went on to say that he has
never been so disgusted about anything in
his lite as he has been concerning the man.
ner in which the majority of the new League
have treated Pittsburg and are inclined to
continue that treatment He was in earnest
in what he said. The other director even .
more important man in the club, while not
so radical in his declarations, was equally
bitter in feeling. He said to the writer:
Some Pointed Remarks.
'T am fully convinced that there will be
no 12-club League after this year. Every
thing that is going on points to that con-
clusion. Why, it is fact that the most i'm
portant clubs in the new League are COM
pletely overruled. The four new members,
Association parties, are linked to trio,
Messrs. Robson, Brush and Byrnes, and
they control the entire organization. But,
Philadelphia will not stand it, to say moth
ing of Pittsburg There will be break
and no mistake. But let me say that Pitts
burg will always be in the National League
as long as we have club. I would sooner
forfeit at once all have invested in the
club than be identified with new associa-
tion.
''Of course this is a serious matter, and I
am talking seriously. People are talking
considerably about our kicking, but let us
look at the facts. At the League meeting
in New York we we're asked to 60 and sign
all the good players we could in the Ameri-
can Association SO as to weaken that body
and strengthen ourselves. We came home
and started out to do what We were re-
quested to do.
Lost Hundreds Of Dollars.
eWe spent hundreds of dollars and secured
Grimm, Weaver, Lyons, and were after
Boyle. While we were spending our money
the people who were running affairs knew
what they had agreed to DO at the Indian
apolis meeting, but never in the least gave
ers named. They let us go on spending
money, and when we signed our men they
were taken from u.s. The rulers of the new
League knew in November what was going
to be done, and still we were not advised as
to the best thing to Go. Was this fair treat
ment? Certainly not. And still people
wonder why we are dissatisfied. Depend
upon 1t, our time will come"
Coming as they do from a prominent Off
cial, the foregoing remarks are very, very,
significant to baseball patrons. They indi-
cate more or less trouble sooner or later re-
gardless of whether there is sound cause for
them OF not.

A lively fight occurred at the corner of
Station street and Frankstown avenue last
night between Officers Schafer. Tolus and
Ransom and Edward st. Clair and ''Buck'
Cornelius. The two latter were being ar
rested for disorderly conduct. They resisted
arrest, aud number of their friends at
tempted to rescue the prisoners No one
was seriously hurt, although Officer Schafer
was beaten considerably about the head. The
two, men were locked up safely, and it is
said several informations will be made
