Changing Cars and Trains.

"You may not believe it, but it is a
fact" said railroad man, chat

few nights ago, when the trainmen
at Theresa Junction sang out Change
cars for Carthage, Lowville and Uti-
ca pass from one car to another one
on the same train! They learned
their mistake, however, before the
train started, and when chided about
it declared that they did just as they
were told-that they did not know,
but the car they were in was to becut
out OF the train and left at that sta

= Convention Of skilled Dstsotivss--A
Cosmopolitan City-sinsinE at tho
worlds Fair.
ST. Louis, Oct. 13.-There was pc
culiar gathering at the Office of the
Chief of Police this week. Seventeen
detectives, representing every one of
the large cities in the United States,
sat there, and talked from notebooks
to each other. They were exchanging
descriptions of criminals whom they
wanted for various offenses. They
have been in st. Louis watching the
crowds who came to enjoy the carni-
val. All large cities exchange detect
ives this way In times of great conven-
tons of people. This year the detectives
from abroad have found none of their
men. Chief Desmond, of. the Detective
Bureau, says that it is because the
rogues are giving ST. Louis wide
berth during the Fall Festivities, dis
covering how we'll the town is policed.
''The proof of this is the very few ar
rests that we have had to make Of
thieves who had robbed strangers,
says the Chief. "There have been no
robberies on the streets, and but a
small number of pocket-picking cases.
And when you consider the very large
number Of people there have been in
the city, and how many of them were
{ out late at night, in the rough parts Of
town, sightseeing, the showing is
something remarkable"
This is a most cosmopolitan city.
When it was announced, a few weeks
ago, that there would be a meeting of
Swedes, Danes and Norwegians to ar
range for celebration on the evening
4 of Oct 81. of the discovery of America,
3twas expected that hundred men,
perhaps, would respond. To the sur
prise of everyone. the hall selected for
the meeting was unable to hold the
crowd that came. There were several
thousand Of them. Their celebration
will be mainly speech-making in the
three languages. Nearly all of them
are in good circumstances. They are
mostly mechanics, but there are many
clerks among them, and few laborers.
Most of the multitude who were in
/, the city last week and this went to the
parks and feasted their eyes on the
acres of green sward in them. The
park commissioner is now planning to
make these broad expanses bloom,with
welcome to the visitors who come to
see the greatest festival season of all
next year. Every level place in the
parks will be planted with shrubbery
and flowers in the form of Columbian
notices and inscriptions of welcome,
which will appear next spring and all
through the summer and fall in letters
of various colors. In addition to the
inscription, in places where the space
will permit it there will blossom de-
signs illustrating the great discovery.
From the score of strong singing So
eieties of this city, the Choral Sym
phony association each year picks
about FIVE hundred of the best voices,
and drills them for series of half
dozen concerts, which take place in
the fall The fame of the city as
training school for good voices is SO
widespread that the director of the
society, Mr.. Joseph Often, has been
asked by the worlds fair managers to
send them n complete chorus for the
opening exercises in June. The So
ciety has decided to put 200 voices in
training at once. They will make
thunderous chorus Of themselves.

wished to secure site Mt as low fig-

an old resident, Mr.. Button, was
made one of the three members of It.
He was the owner of lot on which
the summer cottagers had set their
hearts. At the first meeting of the
committee the matter of contributions
was preached. Mr.. Button left his col

He declined to contribute cent
Then the two cottagers labored with
him over the site. Fifteen hundred
dollars was his lowest figure. They
explained to him the advantages that
would accrue to the place through the
erection of the casino, and the inevita-
BILE enhancement of the value of his
other property; but he held out for if
teen hundred dollars. Finally one of
the committee said:
"Mr. Button, you should either knock
off something from the price of the lot,
or, If we buy it for fifteen hundred
dollars, you should make handsome
contribution"
"Well," said Mr.. Button, "I'm ready
to do something for you. I can't let
the land go for less than fifteen hun

ure sixteen hundred dollars, I'm ready
to contribute one hundred dollars to
the fund"
The meeting was adjourned on mo-

down on the part of the Democrats. With
standing majority Of about 500, the head
of the Republican ticket received ma
jority of about $500. The Republican
ticket was elected throughout by large ma
jorities.
The Democrats sacrificed their candidate
for member of the Board of Public Works
in order to make the board bipartisan, as
the board consists of four members. one of
whom Is Republican. It is sought BY this
to defeat the reorganization bill pending in
the Legislature for Columbus The argu-
ment is now to be used that the board is BIZ
partisan, such as prevails in the other cities
of the State, and it is what the Republicans
have been asking for in the line Of legisla-
tion.
The Republicans, however, will not be
satisfied with the result of to-day, as the
offices are all now in the hands of the Demo-
Gratis, and q selection of q member of the
Board of Public Works will not aid in the
direction of q reorganization.

Negotiations Now on for the Best Con-

FIRES, FAILURES AND RAILWAY NEWS

NEW YORK, April A meeting of the
United States Rubber Company's newly
elected directors was held to-day in this
city and the following officers were elected:
President, William L. Trenholm; Secre-
tary, John I. Waterbury; Treasurer, John
P Townsend The directors authorized the
officers to complete the purchase of the prop
erty and good will of the New Jersey Rub
ber Shoe Company by a payment of 81 ,000,-
900 down and the balance to be paid as deter
mined on appraisement. This was agreed
to by the stockholders of the United States
Rubber Company. Committees were ap-
pointed to negotiate with the L. Candee
Company, of New Haven, the Meyer Rub
Der Company, of Milbank, n. J., and other
companies will be purchased when an oppor-
tunity is presented.
The capital of the company is said to be
large enough to absorb all the rubber manu-
featuring concerns in the country which is
contemplated. A gentleman who is largely
interested in crude rubber and generally in
the rubber trade throughout the country
said to-day to q reporter:
''The new company has bought the plant,
etc.. of the New Jersey Rubber Company, at
New Brunswick, n. j., and those works will
be the headquarters of the company. Ne
gotfations are also pending for the purchase
of the Christopher Meyer Company's works
at Milltown, near New Brunswick. The
negotiations are practically closed. The same
may be said OF similar negotiations for the
purchase of the business plant and good
win OF the Candee Company, of New Haven,
Conn.,, which is the oldest and best known
concern in the trade. The New Jersey Rub
Der Company VIII probably go into liquida-
tion and give up its charter after distributing
among its stockholders what it receives in
payment for its property. No other tacto-
rfes or works have yet been purchased, al
though others may and no doubt will be
from time to time"
