OFFICERS SUGGEST A NEEDED REFORM

Congressman John Dalzell came home
from Washington yesterday morning and
spent the day with political friends in
Pittsburg. He will return to Washington
to-day.
In talk with a DISPATCH reporter Mr..
DalzeIl denied the statement made in an
evening paper that he was for Blaine for
President as first choice. ''I am for Blaine
for President because the sentiment of my
people is for Blaine. No matter what my
preferences may be for President. 1 an one
of Pennsylvania Representatives in Con-
gress and am therefore bound by the will of
the people L represent Mr.. Harrison L
think has made the best President our
country has had since Lincoln's time
GLOW is your fight for United States
Senate?'
"Well, am candidate for that high
office. / have seen many of the party lead
ers from every section of the State and
feel very much encouraged at the outlook. /"
"WilI JACK Robinson be a candidate for
SENATOR"
''He says he will be. That's all 1 know
about it,
zell said: 81 do not care to discuss the
other candidates for the place. Mr. Quay
has perfect right TO be candidate for
Senator and 1 have the same right L have
no disposition to inaugurate personal
campaign, prefer the next Senator should
be named on his merits
"What will Congress do this session.
Congress Will doubtless pass many mean
and mercenary measures and to carry out
their peculiar reform ideas they will leave
for the next Congress many appropriation
measures that should be passed at the pres
eIt session. They will then go to the coun-
try on their false economic platform. There
viii be no general revenue bill, but the
Mckinley bill will be attacked in detail
and measures covering lots of specific
articles will be passed in the House to be
killed in the Senate. A free silver bill
viii no doubt be passed in both branches of
Congress, as there are enough free silver
Republicans in the Senate to help the
Democrats through, but no free silver bill
will be passed by the President, and he has
the last turn at such things"
rs there any uncertainty as to who will
be appointed Internal Revenue Collector
'Oh, yes, there is lots of uncertainty. 1
am still sticking to Mr.. Case, but have no
idea who will be appointed. The appoint
ment will likely be made early next week
The Secretary OF the Treasury is absent
from Washington at Fortress Monroe. If
he returns on Monday the appointment will |
no doubt be made promptly on his return"

NR. DAVIS DID NOT DIE,
So Some Premature People of Chicago Have
to Settle an Expensive Suit.


to Settle an Expensive Suit.
Manager Charles L. Davis, of the Alvin
Theater, was in very comfortable frame of
mind yesterday. He has been wrestling
with law suits and financial accounts for a
week and has reached satisfactory con-
cluson in them all. Some weeks ago it
will be remembered that the Western Elec-
tric Company, Of Chicago, entered suit
against Mr.. Davis for certain electric fittings
of the Alvin Theater. They got writ of
replevin because, as they now say, they ex-
pected Mr.. Davis was about to die. Mr..
Davis did not pass across the river to the
land where theaters are not promised, but
got well so quickly that he has been able
during the last ten days to see the repre-
sentatives Of the Western Electric Company
and reach settlement with them.
The account over which the suit was
brought has been paid. The Chicago people
also paid the lawyers costs. This and other
signs Of Mr.. Davis ability to meet ali his
liabilities will be welcomed in Pittsburg
and among theatrical people generally, for
that the builder of such theater as the
Alvin deserves to get something better than
law suits and sickness as his harvest is the
general opinion.

PENN COTTON MILL GOING SOUTH.

Syiscauga Stockholders Buy the Old Land
mark in Allegheny.
The stockholders of the Marble City Land
Company met Yesterday at the Boyer
Hotel and completed the deal for the pur-
chase OF the Penn Cotton Mill, in ALE
gheny. The old landmark will be removed
ct once to Svlacauga, Ala, where the COM
pany Will enlarge it into one of the finest
cotton plants in the South. The time was
when the Southern planters thought that
the only people who could make cotton
cloth we're the New Englanders, and the
raw material was shipped there and the
fabrics sent back to the South. Recently
they have discovered that it would
pay to have the mills erected where
the cotton grows, and thus avoid
the double freight. The removal
of the Penn Cotton Mill from Allegheny
takes another industry from that city, but
il IS an inevitable result of trade laws. w.
W. Acheson, President of the COMPANY
says they intend to engage in the manufac-
ture Of cotton goods in Sylacauga. 1t is a
new town, but it already has enough ster-
ling industries to warrant its future growth.
A number OF local prominent people are in
terested in this Southern venture.
The annual meeting of the company will
DO held in Sylacauga January 2L The
stockholders have decided to be present. A
party of about 100 men Will leave Pitts
burg for the place January 19 over the r. &
O. and Queen & Crescent roads. They will
be accompanied by Division Passenger

Familiarity with cases of marital discord
appears to breed contempt. Just after
hearing the Cassidy case Judge Porter had

A Railroad Contracts to Ship SO Carloads of
Agricultural Implements.
The farmers in the West are beginning to
show few signs that they have faith in the
future and that business is reviving. Com
mercal Agent W. NJ. Clark. of the Mis-
souri, Pacific road, has just completed
contract with a manufacturer in
Springfield, O., to deliver so carloads of
agricultural implements at various points
in Texas, Arkansas, Missouri. Iowa, Ne
braska and Mississippi. Mr.. Clark saws it
will be necessary to run two trains to carry
them, and he will ship the implements JAN
uary &c. 1t is one of the largest orders
ever handled by railroad. Mr. Clark
thinks the shipment is due to
the ENTERPRISE of the maker, who sees plenty
of trade in the future, rather than the
prosperity of the grangers, who have not so
far converted the large crop into hard cash.
He says orders are coming in very slowly,
but the people are bound ''to be happy yet,
you bet"
The freight agents of the Missouri Pacific
road will hold conference in ST. Louis,
January "a, to discuss the general situation.
1t will be the second time such a meeting
of agents has been held in the history of
the road.

Creek Indisns Watching Legislation.

Chief Perryman and six other chiefs of
the Creek Nation were in the city yesterday
afternoon en- route to Washington. They
were an. intelligent set of men and could
talk English fairly well. Of all the Indians
in the Territory the Creeks are away ahead
of their fellows in civilization. The old
chief said they spent about $1,000 year to
watch Congressional legislation, and it pays
them. So many treaties have been tam
pered with in the absence of redskin repre-
sentatives at Washington that for some
years the Creeks have kept men at the
national capital to see that their rights
were maintained. There are so many hang
ers-on who would like to get possession of
their valuable farming lands. The Creeks
have four Congressional delegates, but they
are usually assisted every winter by some
of the old chiefs
