CENTRAL TRACTION PLANS.

The Electric Line Will Soon Begin Opera
tion-Night Cars a Probability Then-A
Dividend Declared, to BE Credited on the
Stock.
The annual meeting of stockholders and
election OF officers of the Central Traction
Company was held at the Westinghouse
building yesterday afternoon. Only few
stockholders were present outside Of the
old Board of Directors and the voting was
mostly done by proxy. The old board, con-
sisting of George I. Whitney, 7. A. Giles
pie, Calvin Wells, E. NJ. Byers, C. H. Mckee,
T. B. Atterbury and j. R. Mckinley, were re-
elected without opposition, 1900 shares be-
ing voted. The board organized by re-elect-
ing George i. Whitney, President; z. A. Gill
lespie, Vice President, and John +. Miller,
Secretary. One of the banks will probably
be selected for Treasurer.
The report OF President Whitney states
that under Vice President Gillespie's direc-
tion the old Center avenue line is being
rapidly changed TO the WESTINGHOUSE
that ten cars will be running on this line
1t will be used feeder to the cable road.
Motor cars will haul light built passenger
cars to and from the intersection OF Wylfe
avenue and Fulton street, where the cars
will be transferred by use of a switch. 1t
is intended to extend the electric wires
uOWn NNlle avenue TO cOnUcCb Will Ilio
wires OF the Duquesne road, which uses the
Ccntral's tracks down town, and Will allow
the use of its wires in return. Then II any
accident should cause a stoppage OF the
cable road the Center avenue electric cars
will be run down over the cable tracks until
the break is repaired, and the hill residents
will suffer no Inconvenience. The electric
machinery will be placed in the Wy1e
avenue power house. Vice President Gill
lespie was asked last night when the much
talked-of all-night cars would be put on the
road. II can't say positively" was his reply,
"but after we get our electric line i'll opera
ton we will run night cars if our patrons
demand it,"
The gross revenues of 1891 over 1880 were
increased a little more than p per cent.
Three million passengers were carried ana
only one fatality occurred. The employees
OF the road have no grievances, according TO
President Whitney, and the relations be-
tween the company and employees are ami
cable. The net earnings for the year were
s6s672 81. The assets are: Real estate,
81, ,9S2 so: corporation and equipment, 81, TO-
7S9 10; cash. Si4.a5s OIL Liabilities: Capital
stock, ssl3 s22 so; bonds, 1915, 900, ticket ac-
count, S2s4 6S: profit and loss, SSo, ,265 81.
Fares and rents yielded $ls6, 800 81 during the
year and the expenses o. operation, increase
and interest were sl29,6E 70.
The completion OF the cable road and
change to electric system of Center avenue
line used up the sixth assessment on stock
in addition to the surplus earnings. AS this
was considered capital invested a dividend
of So 80 per share was declared on February
/, amounting to 1000. which was credited
on stock, making $50 paid on each share of
stock at this date.

The officials OF the B. 6 o. road, after care
fully inspecting the Pittsburg and Western,
think that the P, c. & T., or the line from
New Castle to Akron, is not in shape for
last trains. As soon as the ground thaws
out z force of men will be put to work to
lie Hast the road, and it is thought that oy
June the line will be ready. The Akron
branch TO CHICAGO Junction is as solid as a
rock, and the officials are very much pleased
with this end of the line. 1t is the deter
minatiCn not to put on the 70 st trains until
the roaG is in 6rst-class condition. Third
Vice President lord SAYS he wants the Chi
cagn trains to make the schedule time from
JhC first day. Mr.. Lord would rather wait a
year than have the road receive a black eye
from the start by ditching some OF the
trains. The Pit:BbGrg and Western will
certainly be 4 great lire after the B. & O.
people get through with the improvements.

MISS FAY is ANGRY

Because the Police VIII Not Allow Her to
Give spiritualistic Exhibits Chief
. Brown Says 1t Is Not q Proper Enter
tainment for the People.
Chief Brown will not allow any more of
Miss Annie Eva Fay's spiritualistic exhibit
tions 'The whole affair is fraud" said
he, ''and should not have been permitted
last night. 1t surprises me that so many
people could be fooled this way. We can
not allow it any more"
In accordance with these views the Chief
ordered that if another exhibit should be
attempted the principal should be arrested.
For Monday nights entertainment no
license had been secured. The manager,
however, appeared at the Department of
Public Safety Offices yesterday and paid the
license fee. He also wanted to take out a
license for last night, but WAS refused.
Miss Fay is angry. When seen last night
she said: 81 knew nothing OF this matter
until this morning, when my manager notl-
fee me that the police would not allow an
other exhibit because it was improper for a
Pittsbur9 audience to look at. sent word
to Chief Brown for more explicit reasons for
his action, but could get no satisfaction l
offered to give the entertainment free, with
the same success. Nothing would do but
must cancel nv dates, pay back the money
tonight and prepare to leave the city.

PRIMARIES RULED OUT
The Action Taken by the CHARTERS
Valley Republican Club.
OUTSIDERS ENTER A PROTEST.
Nominating and Suggestion Meetings Held
Throughout the City.
FLINN AGAINST FLINN in THE SIXTH

City politicians and ward workers are
going to move to CHARTERS township to
learn the fine shades in the art of politics.
1t is claimed that the CHARTERS Valley Re-
publican Club has taken a jump over every
precedent and decided there shall not be
any primaries held in CHARTERS township.
1t is part of the old Grafton fight. Nearly
every citizen in the township is candidate
and the club which dominates the politics
for the valley took the view that as there
would be no one left to vote when the can
didates were counted out, primaries would
be a useless extravagance.
County Recorder Won Bonnhorst and
Percy f.. Smith are the leaders in the club.
Monday night meeting of the club was
held, and after long and stormy fight the
primaries died a painless death. Out of the
list of candidates the club indorsed a few of
the aspirants for Office who are members of
the club and those outside were not in
cluded in the charmed circle. The ticket
named by the club is as follows: Super
visors, A. G. Reineman, Jacob Drake;
School Directors, George R. Pearson (three
years), J. E. Jones (three years), j. A. Evans
1.-TWO years., Robert Reno 1.-TWO years), Robert
Alien lone year,, Z. A. stevenson Zone year,;
Justices of the Peace, Newton Petrie, d. II.
Ferrell; Tax Collector, Rome B. Cool; As
sessor George Petrie; Auditors, H. Y. Dough-
erty, w. S. slack.
When this list was first presented there
was great deal of discussion. Many of the
members thought it was not fair to the out
side people, but a few heavy pieces of ora
tory partially brought them over and then
the list passed together with resolution
indorsing only the men on this ticket and
saying that no other candidates shall be
recognized.
When the people outside heard of this
action they rioted as it were and have de-
cided to hold primaries on Saturday when
new ticket will be chosen. One of the men,
bers of the club ticket said yesterday that
an attempt would probably be made to stop
the primaries, although there are a consid-
cradle number OF members OF the club who
favor the idea of having nrimaries
