Large Movement of Theatrical People Via
Pennsylvania Lines.

The Pennsylvania Lines are doing a
larger theatrical business this season than
they have for several years. The business
on these popular lines has increased to such
an extent that it has been necessary for the
transportation department to increase the
facilities very materially in the way of pro-
viding new baggage cars. Whilea reporter
of this paper was in conversation with one
of the representatives of the PENNSYLVANIA
Lines yesterday he remarked: "Our lines
have Just completed several OF the finest
baggage cars that were ever run, and they
were built especially for the accommodation
of the theatrical people.
The reason given for the extra cars was
that the Pennsylvania Lines handled nearly
all of the large companies, and their effects,
being costly. it was necessary to have extra
large cars, so that the fine scenery could be
transported without damage.
Tha companies carried in and out of Pitts
burg last week are given below:
Out of Pittsburg-Henry E. Dixey, 13
people to Chicago; Kendals, 26H people to
New York; Duff Opera Company, AZ people
to New York.
Into Pittsburg-''Dr. Bill" Is people
from Youngstown; ''Still Alarm" 81 peo-
pie from Wheeling.

pany, So people, Chicago to New York.

ALLEGHENY PEOPLE MAD.

They Believe There Is Scheme for Mu-
nicipal Marriage Under the Postoffice
Trouble-GileIand Declares the Office
Is Now self-sustaining.
The article in yesterdays DISPATCH, ex-
planning one of the reasons why the appro-
priation for the new Allegheny Postoffice
building was slow in being granted, caused
great deal of comment in the two cities.
1t was always known that Pittsburg ex-
ceeded her sister in the amount of mail
matter handled, but the figures were great
surprise to all. Then a good many Allie
ghenians thought it was scheme to bring
about the municipal marriage of the two
cities, and their Indignation knew no bounds.
Postmaster Gillehnd, of Allegheny, was
seen, but he was reticent in speaking of the
matter "We will have the new building, !"
said he, ''no matter what is reported to the
contrary. do not know Just when, how
ever, as there are divers reasons for delay.
The city of Allegheny is entitled to it,.
Were not the figures published in yes
terday's DISPATCH correct?"
CAS- far as 1 know" said the Postmaster,
"they were The comparison of the re-
ceipts of the two offices was based
on the figures of 1890, and 1 did
not come into the Office until
April, 1890, SO 1 am not prepared to speak
authoritatively on that wear. think that
if snch thing had to be published the COM
parison should have been based on the re-
ceipts of 1891. This year the business Of
the Allegheny Office will amount to SS2. 900,
an increase of $4,000 over the figures of
1890. The net earnings will hover about
$40, 900, and with that much going into the
Government 1 cannot see why we should
not have new building.
"it is true that our business is cut down
considerably by Allegheny people who do
business in Pittsburg anc mail their letters
there. But when the main business is in
Pittsburg, that is where the letters should
be mailed, and Allegheny should not be
held responsible for it.
eff we had one good daily newspaper
which would look after the interests of
the people of Allegheny the receipts
of the postofice would go away up, as the
paper would attract more business enter
prses to this side of the river. AS it is,
Allegheny is secondary matter with the
papers of Pittsburg. They want consolda-
tion, but they will have to want in vain"
A number OF Allegheny officials were
seen, who are conversant with the postoffice
affairs, and they all corroborated the state
ments of Gilleland. They think if $4,000
is turned into the General Government an
nually, it can in turn afford to spend even
$500, GOO ON building and still be ahead of
the game.

therefore, wishes to add its testimony to
the worth of the Barnes Fireproof Safe.
The test in this instance was a severe one.

GREAT MEN TOGETHER.

The Annual Meeting of the National Board
OF Trade VIII Consider Subjects of
Great Importance to All the People
The Programme.
The annual meeting Of the National
Board of Trade will be held at Washington
on Wednesday, January q. The meeting
will bring together from all over the nation
representative business men and one of the
efforts of the meeting will be to make the
interests of one the interests Of all. The
official programme of recommendations and
resolutions to be considered at the meeting
has already been issued. 1t embraces many
subjects relating to finance, legislation State
and national, and a great variety OF quest
ions of striking interest to the business world.
One resolution to be considered provides
that all building material used in
the construction of building shall be thor
oughlv tested before they are used, and that
"the United States Government shall place
in each city of 100000 or more inhabitants,
in the United States, a testing machine OF
the capacity of 1000 tons, upon which any
citizen having prepared his materials, NAV
have them tested free of charge, and that
said machine shall be installed in a building
arranged for that purpose, and under charge
either of military or civil officers OF the
Government engineering service, and we
call upon Congress and all persons appre-
ciating the importance of accurate knowl-
edge of structural work, and the immense
advantage to be gained by it, to assist in
bringing about such action as is necessary
o carry out this plan."
Another resolution to be considered sug-
gests that Congress should, without de-
Law, pass law for the collection of debts,
Al. -
sets OF, insolvent business men; and this
hoard regards the Torrer bill as the best
that has been proposed for these purposes.
Another resolution recites the numerous
violations of the interstate commerce act
and asks Congress to remedy the evil by
providing "tbst the Interstate Commerce
Commission have power 10 employ their
own permanent law department to regularly
take charge of all criminal prosecutions
made under the act
A resolution requires that Congress be
memorialized to provide for commercial re-
lations with the neighboring countries upon
broad and comprehensive principles of
reciprocity, while ansther suggests the i'm
portance of establishing and fostering closer
trade relations with the AsiatIc countries
bordering on the Pacific Ocean. A rigid en-
forcement of the immigration laws is de-
manded, and the universally deplorable
condition of the public highways of the
country is considered positive obstruction
to progress.
Another resolution saws that 'the Ma
tional Board OF Trade reaifirms its action in
favor of the establishment of United
States Naval Reserve, and most earnestly
petitions Congress- at its present session. to
make such appropriation as may be neces-
sary for the use OF the naval militia in the
several States, to be applied under the di-
rec.ion of the Secretary of the Navy, as he
may deem wise"
