A WATCH ON SHIPPERS.

Good Work of the Railroad Weighing and
Inspecting Bureau-Nhat Agent Linn
berger Has Observed in Five Years E1-
perience-Tricks of the Business.
j. H. Limberger, the Joint agent in
charge of the railroad weighing and inspec-
tion bureau, was in the city yesterday on
one of his periodical visits. 1t is five years
since the bureau was started, and under his
management it has become we'll organized.
The plan has been a great success, and
is pleasing to the honest and sub
stantial shippera 1t has been
q terror to eyil-doers, and thev would like
to see it abolished. Mr. Limberger is
proud of his work, but he is tired of the
job. 1t is too exacting. 1t is no small
matter for a man to keep posted on the va
rious classifcations, and daily pass Judg-
ment on knotty questions The business
never becomes routine, but every day some
new problem arises that must be disposed
Of
81 fnd," said Mr.. Limberger yester-
dav, that men are not prone 10 be dishonest
when they can do as well by being honest.
A shipper cant send goods these days under
false weight and classification unless he
enters into a conspiracy with his employees
Where q man has built up large trade he
has no desire TO put himself in position
where his men can constantly keep club
over him. frequently receive letters from
employees of firms telling me of
some crooked work going on in the
shipping department. These men have
become dissatisfied with something,
and they inform on their employers as one
way of getting even.
"But honest shippers like the work of
the bureau. In the old days, if two manu-
facturers were bidding on a job, the one
that didn't get it at once jumped to the
conclusion that the railroads had offered
his competitor some advantage. The bureau
has made these complaints impossible, and
when shipper loses business, he knows
the railroads have had nothing to do with it.
Shippers have no objection to giving correct
weights and observing the classifcations
when they know their competitors must do
likewise. Then some men are born crooked,
and they couldn't be straight if they tried.
In many instances there is an honest differ
ence of opinion as to how an article should
be classified. We always give the shipper
the benefit of the doubt, and they know it.
In the North, where there are so many differ
ent railroad systems, we must work as it
suits each road We employ a day and
night force, and as through freight runs on
Sunday, we have plenty of work on that
day. In Pittsburg the business is easier, as
the traffic is handled in two or three
Offices"

HAMLET IN PETTICOATA
PittsburE Girl Makes q Success and
VIII Enter the Profession.

A Pittsburg Girl Makes Success and
VIII Enter the Profession.
The rendition of "Hamlet" by the young
ladies of the graduating and elocutionary
classes of St. Joseph's Academy, Green's
burg, on last Thursday afternoon, was such
pronounced success that the performance
will be repeated before special audience,
including the Bishop of this Diocese, num-
erous clergymen and prominent laymen, on
next Wednesday evening in the Academy
Hall.
The performance Of last Thursday Is said
to have been the first attempt of any Cath
olic Female Seminary in this country to
render any of Shakesreare's plays, and that
it was successful is sufficiently attested by
the numerous calls for the special perform
ance for the benefit of the clergy and laity
of the diocese
The productions are unde the direct sup
ervision of Prof. Byron W. King, of this
city, and has been in preparation for sew
eral months. The Characterization Of Ham,
let by Miss Sarah Lappan was fully equal to
the efforts of advanced professionals, and
particularly the soliloquy, the scene with
the Queen and battle scenes she simply car
ried abe large audience with her back to
the stirring time of Henry VS. reign. The
Hordtio of Miss Shearer, King of Miss
Blakely, Queen of Miss Powers, Ophelia of
Miss Owens, Tolonias of Miss Cerlin and
First Craze Digger of Miss Phillips were
also superbly rendered, and fully reflected
the exact training of these young ladies.
Miss Lappan, the leading character in
the play, is the daughter of Mr.. James
Lappan, President of the Boiler Manufac-
turers' Association of this city, and is a
more than ordinary talented young lady.
She is a graduate of this year, and in all of
her studies has carried off first honors of
the school. After graduating it is her am
bition to continue her studies abroad and fit
herself for professional career in legiti-
mate drama.

WILL BE ONE CHURCH.
The A. NJ. E. and A. M. E. Zion Confer
ences Agree to Unite.

The A. NJ. e. and A. M. E. Zion Confer
ences Agree to Unite.
At the morning session of the A. NJ. E.
Zion Conference yesterday the principal
business transacted was hearing reports of
committees. The report of the Committee
on Revision was taken up. One point
raised was whether the quarterly conference
had the jurisdiction to remove trustees for
any cause. 1t was finally decided that they
could, provided it did not conflict with the
State laws. The report of the commission
on union with the A. NJ E. Church was
adopted.
1t read as follows: tIn view of the pro-
ceedings and action of the joint commits
sion of the two Churches, the A. NJ E. and
the A. NJ E. Zion, we, the members repre-
senting the latter, do recommend that, as in
all constitutional elements the commission
decided the two churches are virtually one,
all statutory provisions be relegated to
the United General Conference for adjust
ment. Since it was also agreed by a vote of
% to 2 that the name of the united body be
the african Zion Methodist Episcopal
Church, and only two votes dissenting,
we agree upon the basis of union al
ready adopted by both General Confer
ences."
An invitation to attend the free organ re-
cital in Carnegie Hall was accepted and the
convention adjourned until tomorrow.

New Baltimore and Ohio Shops and Yards,
Adjacent to the Humbird Land and Inn
Provement Company Lots, Cumberland,
Nd.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany, recognizing the Importance of Cum
berland as a distributing point Tor the large
territory lying around, and the further fact
that its location made it desira Bile as the
terminus of three of its divisions namely
the second, third ana Pittsburg, proposed
to the Mayor and City Council OF Cumber-
land that in consideration of the loan of
Sl50,00O, without interest by the city the
company would make Cumberland the end
of the above divisions, and in addition,
would purchase large tract of land within
the city limits, upon which they would erect
machine shops and round houses The
proposition was submitted to the voters of
Cumberland on the l7th of June last and
carried by a majority of four to one showing
that the people of Cumberland appreciated
the vast Importance of securing these i'm
provements.
The company has purchased 30 acres OF
land, upon which will be erected their yards
and shops. The Baltimore and Ohio propose
to make Cumberland the Altoona of their
road, and are constructing a yard that will
contain trackage for 900 cars, which in ad-
dition to the yards already there will give
the company splendid facilities for the
handling of their immense traffic The
shops will be constructed after an improved
plan of the Pennsylvania Railroad shops at
Altoona, Pa, and will give employment to
1JLVu lHen. 1hc lIdln ana OtDer railroad men,
numbering at least 900 additional, will nee.
essarfly make their homes in Cumberland
From these sources alone an increase of
population IS confidently expected of 5000
to 5000. 1t necessarily follows that the ad-
dition of this population to Cumberland will
bring Others. of all professions and trades,
and 1t is safe to predict that the building
boom during the year 1892 and 1898 will as
sumo immense proportions

MORRISON is SILENT.
Horizontal Bill Says the Democratic Nom
inee and Platform Will Suit Him-He
Refuses to Talk About Candidates or His


inee and Platform Will Suit Him-He .
Refuses to Talk About Candidates or His
Own Chances.
Horizontal Bill Morrison, Chairman of
the Interstate Commission, was a passen-
evening. He was going there, he said, on
railroad business Mr.. Morrison was never
known to talk much for publication, but
since his name has been mentioned OCCASION
ally in connection with the Presidency
he considers absolute silence only consist
ent with dignity. The would-be tariff
slasher answered questions in monosylla-
bles, and when it didn't suit him to reply
he gazed wistfully through the dense smoke
at Venus, at if he were imploring the
goddess to help him. But Venus continued
TO shine brightly, and sent back a cheering
ray of light, and Horizontal William was
happy. He would say nothing about
Cleveland, Hill, German, Palmer, Boies,
Morrison, ct al. His soul was troubled,
for he realizes that outside of few friends
in Illinois his Presidential aspirations are
not considered seriously. He added that
the candidate and platform of the Demo-
cratic party would suit him.
On railroad matters he was a little more
communicative. He said Mr.. Ford, of the
Pennsylvania Company, was forced to pay
commissions on tickets south and southwest
OF Chicago, as other lines were doing it. He
intlmated that the Pennsylvania policy
against the commission business was
not changed, but the company was COM
PEELED to acquiesce for the present. Mr..
Morrison indicated by his manner also that
he didn't like the Supreme Courts decision
in the Baltimore and Ohio case upholding
the party rate. He said the suit had grown
out of fight between the Pennsylvania
Company and the Baltimore and Ohio He
is opposed to increasing the membership
OF the commission, and fails to
see how that would facilitate
business. He contends that the commission
has judicial functions and that Judge
Cooley did not exceed them in his decision
against the party rate. Recently the ques-
tion of allowing foreign manufacturers a
low rate on Worlds Fair exhibits came up.
The railroads opposed reduction, and he
thinks they are right.

HE WOULDN'T CLOSE EARLY

So the Knights of Labor Boycotted His
Store.
District Master Workman Dempsey spent
several days this week in Bellevernon, Fay
ette county, arranging some matters
pertaining to the organization. One
of the principal things he did was to try
to get A. B. Lewis, merchant, to sign the
agreement to close his store at an early hour.
All the other merchants of the town had
signed, but this gentleman refused to.
The Master Workman was sent for, but he
could not bring the man around. 1t was
finally decided to place boycott on the
store. All the laboring people Of the town
and the county patronage of the store were
asked to purchase elsewhere.
