The B. & o. Will Straighten the p. & W.
and Cut Down the Heaviest Grades.
About week ago Tndicate of foreign
bankers and the leading officials of the B. &
o. road paid visit to Pittsburg. They
went over the Pittsburg and Western and
the junction roads. spending very little
time in the city. Within the last few days
the syndicate has finally agreed to take the
S., 600, 900 issued by the company in common
stock. One of the London bankers, Mr.
Fleming, while here, told prominent Pitts
burger that in short time he would hear
good news. The s., 900, 900 which the road
gets puts the company on first-class fnan-
cial footing, and will enable them to make
the Improvements so badly needed all along
the extensive system. The foreign capital
lists were very much pleased with the prop
erty, and after looking over the road had
no hesitation about advancing the money.
A good deal of the money will be spent
on the Pittsburg and Western road. For
that matter a number of improvements have
been made along the road within the last
year. The Ellwood short line, which runs
between North Sewickley and Rock Point,
shortensthe road four miles, and reduces
grade of IS feet to about 10 feet. 1t is pro-
posed now to cut down Chewton hill, and
build the road around the Bakerstown
tunnel. When this is done it will avoid
the heaviest grades on the road. The line
is to be Strengthened and double-tracked'a at
once. Few people know that Is miles of
new road were laid between here and New
Castle since the Baltimore and Ohio bought
the Pittsburg and Western. The gentle
man who furnishes the above information is
assured that the fast express trains to Chi
cago will be run through Pittsburg in the
spring.

A PECULIAR PRIZE FIGHT.

Iron Workers Settle Quarrel According to
London Rules, With Their Wives Acting

A prize fight out of the ordinary occurred

which two iron workers were the principals
Martin Carlin and William Griffiths, more
familiarly known as William Williams
are neighbors, but were unable to agree in
a neighborly manner. Frequent quarreIs
occurred between them, which finally came
to an end by their agreeing to settle who was
the best man in the prize ring. London
rules were adopted and a regular ring
formed back of the old car stables. The
wives of the men acted as seconds and the
mill started. After the first blow was
struck all rules were abandoned, the men
hammering one another without any at
Cured time was called The mill was
finally declared of, as the men became ex-
hausted and were unable to face each other.
When the police went on duty at 2 o'clock
the affair was reported to them. Detectives
Fitzgerald and Sterk were detailed to in
vestigate the case. Carlin and Williams
were arrested and taken to the Fourteenth
ward station. Both men were able to walk,
and beyond beautiful pair of black eyes
and badly smashed nose seemed none the
worse for the encounter. An effort was
made to find some of the witnesses, but no
one would acknowledge having seen the
fight, evidently being afraid of arrest.

REPUBLICANS AT WORK.
They Arrange for National Delegates in Il
Twenty-Fourth District

They Arrange for National Delegates in the
Twenty-Fourth District.
The Republican County Committees of
Fayette and Greene, yesterday appointed
three members each of the Congressional
Committee of the Twentv-fourth district to
arrange the primaries to select two dele
gates to the National Republican Com
mittee, and to nominate member
of Congress. Tue Greene county commit
tee called its primaries for March 5, and its
convention for March 7. Captain j. B.
Donley, OF Greene, ex-member of Congress,
is in the field as a candidate for delegate to
the National Convention. Recorder Won
Bonhorst is candidate in Allegheny
county, and probably j. NJ. Reid will be
the candidate in Fayette county.
The Congressional Committee from the
Twenty-fourth district will likely meet in
Pittsburg about the middle of February to
arrange for the District Convention. 1t is
probable that the old plan OF. representa-
tion will be adopted, which will give part
of Allegheny IS delegates; Washington,
16; Fayette, IA, and Greene, 8. 1t is ex-
pected that Allegheny and Washington
counties will unite and elect Won Bonhorst
and Donley.

MORE MEN DISCHARGED.
Twenty-two Adams Express Messengers
Removed During the Week.

Twenty-Five Adams Express Messengers
Removed During the Week.
The wholesale discharge of Adams express
messengers continues and it certainly looks
like hardship. The men are not saying
much, but strike, involving other railroad
employees is sure to follow. 1t is claimed
that tie-up has already been
ordered. Yesterday the entire force of
Adams Express messengers on the Cleve-
land and Pittsburg road, eight in all, were
told that they wouldn't be needed any
longer. During the week % men were dis
charged. as follows: Eight on the Cleve-
land and Pittsburg, six on the Ft. Wayne
and eight on the Panhandle. In the list are
James O'Neil, VIM. Lauer, Sr., and his son,
M. j. Cronin, Messrs. Rockwell and Fow-
ler, of Cleveland, T. G. Little and c. H.
Miller. The crusade against the employees
has not extended to the Pennsylvania road
bat there is no telling when they will be
dropped with the others
The only way that the men can account
for their removal is that they Joined the
union of express messengers. The organi-
zation has made application for admission
to the Federation of Railway Employees,
and it is now pending before that
body in New York. Most of the
men said they Joined the union
innocently for the beneficial features it of
fered. 1t is said that the express company
takes exception to the seventh clause of the
unions constitution, which provides that
difficulties with the employers shall be set
tied by strikes, if necessary.

NO CANDIDATE IN SIGHT.

A southside Citizens Meeting That Went
Up in smoke-No One Wanted the Office
Refused to Indorse tho Democratic
Nominations.
There was lively suggestion meeting in
the Twenty-eighth,w ward last night. Demo
cratic voters had called meeting to be
held in the schoolhouse, and the citizens
called theirs for the same time and place.
There was a large attendance of the voters,
and the proceedings were somewhat e1cit-
ing. The Democrats succeeded in gaining
possession of the hall first, and elected
Thomas Murray and Adam He'll Chairman
and Secretary respectively. The following
ticket was then named as the Democratic
candidates for the several ward officers:
Common Council, Thomas II. Ward; School
Directors, Sam W. Miller, NJ. ]. Haden,
John Knapp; Assessor, o. 81. Luton.
The Democrats then adjourned and the
citizens called their meeting. The first
thing. that was undertaken was to attempt
to indorse the Democratic ticket previously
named. When the vote was taken the mo-
tion to indorse was declared lost by two
votes. There was dispute as to the cor
rectness of the decision, several people
standing around the rear of the hall claim
ing not to have been counted the way they
voted, but, after considerable wrangling.
the decision of the chair was confirmed.
committee was then sent out, as it
were, bearing the nomination for Common
Council around over the ward, for the pur-
pose of having some well tried independent
citizen accept it. DR.. j. D. Thomas was
first visited, but he declined. A similar re-
suit followed visit to George ]. Monroe.
In addition to refusing the nomination, Mr..
Monroe condemned in strong terms the
manner in which the two meetings had been
called and conducted.
The committee returned to the hall and
reported the result of their trip. After
prolonged and disconnected discussion the
citizens adjourned without either indorsing
the ticket named by the Democrats or
naming one of their own. Not being able
to come to an agreement on candidate.
they thought it wisest not to attempt to fill
any of the offices and the meeting ad-
iourned

NINTH WARD DEMOCRATS
Hold a Lively Meeting for the Nomination
OF Local Candidates.


OF Local Candidates.
The, Democratic suggestion meeting in
the Ninth ward was decidedly interesting,
inasmuch as there were two contests. The
meeting was held in the exhibition hall of
the Ralston school building, and that room
was full to overfowihg with about as an en-
thusiastic set of political howlers as one
would wish to find. The meeting was pre-
sided over by Select Councilman Martin
Brophy, John Rowan acting as secretary.
The first contest was on the nomination for
Common Council which was between j. J.
Mcclure, the present incumbent, and
Andrew Minstrel, an ex-policeman. The
bollot resulted in victory for Mr.. Mcclure,
the vote being 148 to 60 in favor of the
present incumbent.
Perhaps the hardest fight that has taken
place in the ward for years was the one for
the three-year term school director between
John Schneider, the present member of the
board, and ex-Alderman C. O'Donnell. This
fight, which has been bitterly waged for
some weeks, resulted in victory for Mr..
Schneider, the vote standing 119 to o. Jo-
seph Snyder was nominated for the one
year term director and James Harden for
chief assessor. The meeting was the largest
and most enthusiastic that has been held in
the ward for years.

BROWNS MILL BADLY DAMAGED.
Mysterious Fire Breaks Out in the Car
penter shop.

a mysterious F1re Breaks Out In the Car
penter shop.
About 4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon
the watchman on duty at Brown & Co. s
Tenth street mill discovered fire in the
carpenter shop, which is located in the
southeast portion of the works. An alarm
was instantly turned in from box 80, and
later the second alarm was struck. The en-
gine companies responded promptly, and
by good work the fire was soon under con-
troll and was soon put out.
The origin of the fire was mystery which
the members of the firm nor none of the en-
ployes of the works could solve. 1t being
Saturday afternoon, the mill, as is the Gus
tom, was shut down and there were no fires
in the mill except the smouldering ones in
the pudding furnaces. The fire, as is
usual, attracted verv large crowd of sight
seers and the police had their hands full in
controlling the crowd. The loss was es-
timated by Mr.. Brown at about $1,000
which was fully covered by insurance.
About o'clock in the evening the flames
broke out again, and another alarm was
sent in. The blaze was an incipient one
and was quickly subdued. A line of hose
had been left by the iremen after their first
visit in the afternoon, but the watchman at
the mill, who had been given the plug
wrench to turn on the water if needed, went
off and took the wrench with him, and the
alarm had to be sent in. The men at the
mill became incensed at this action, and for
time it looked as if large-sized fight
would result, but Chief Steele threatened
them all with arrest and they ceased.

Strike VIII Probably End With To-Day
Many Old Men Coming Back-A Striker
Tells How 1t Was Lost.
Yesterday, in all probability, was the last
day of the strike on the lines of the Pitts
burg, Allegheny and Manchester Traction
Company, as it WAS stated the X. Of L.
would officially declare it off at a meeting
this morning
Twelve of the strikers returned to work
yesterday morning. All day yesterday the
old men were coming and applying for re-
instatement The II men who went to work
yesterday morning were all given daylight
runs 1t was thought that was done for a
drawing card on the rest of the
strikers. Yesterday afternoon DIS
PATCH reporter was in the company's of
fee when several Of the old men came in
search of employment. They were all peni-
tent and expressed great sorrow over having
left the company. The first of the nine men
who applied for reinstatement during the
day, was exceeding bitter against the union.
He said: "When came here several months
ago and secured position with
the company, / had never belonged to any
labor org imitation and knew nothing about
them, and was told would have to join.
1t has been clearly demonstrated to me that
the union was more of harm than benefit
to ME.
''The Sunday night after the trouble
started we, at one point, had the strike won
save for the Observation-Disclosures of some of the
men. When District Master Workman
Dempsey and the others composing that
committee which conferred with George B.
Hill that night came back and reported hav-
ing secured some concessions from him this
bralnless policy was shown. It will
be remembered Mr.. Hill gave mis-
word and honor that he would
do certain things for the men,
but said he would not take the power on
himself of signing any article of agreement
Mr.. Dempsey and the others on the commit
tee expressed themselves in favor of accept
ing Mr.. Hills proposition. They had no
sooner done this than several of the men,
berS charged them with having been bought
and demanded that they get Mr. Hills
agreements in writing to prove they had not
been. This, you know, could not be done
for the above reasons stated, and we lost the
strike once virtually won. 1 am confident
the strike will be declared off tonight"
Another young man, who asked for en-
ployment, broke down and wept like a
child. His story run like this: 81 was
employed here when the strike was de-
clared, and to keep from being called

work and the remuneration received. am
a poor man, and depended on nv wages
from week to week to keep my wife and

out, and 1 had no means of
getting more. The union has not
paid me cent in benefits. About ten
weeks ago my baby was taken sick and died.

Principal S. A. Andrews, of the How
ard School, an Open Candidate.
THE REASONS FOR HIS AMBITION.
School Firectors Soon to Be Elected Will
Help Decide the Matter.
WARD MEETINGSTHROUGHoUr THE CITY

The latest sensation in educational as
we'll as political circles, Is the information
obtained yesterday by a DISPATCH re-
porter that Principal s. A. Andrews, of the
Howard school, Sixteenth ward, and who
resides in the Thirty-sixth ward, is can
didate for the position of Superintendent Of
city schools against the present incumbent,
George J. Luckey This is the first time
Mr. Luckey has had opposition and at the
expiration of his present term will have
completed his 25th year as Superintendent
of the schools of Pittsburg.
The gist of the details of the contest will
be found in the following interviews with
the two contestants Principal Andrews
said: eyes, / am candidate. Mr.. Luckey
and I are personally the best of friends.
have been principal in the Pittsburg
schools for 20 years, and / consider the
superintendency the height of my ambition
in the profession. consider this the op-
perfume time for me to try reach the posi-
tion. Mr.. Luckey has been superintendent
for many years and if / should wait many
more years before being candidate the
probabilities are that both Mr.. Luckev
and myself would be shelved for a man
younger than either of us. 1 wish to reiter-
ate that, personally, Mr.. Luckev and 1 are
and will be the best of friends.
Superintendent Luckey said: 'Tt is
rather early yet to discuss the contest, as
the election does noD come off till May,
1898. look upon 1t in this way, that the
city school directors and the people who
elect them are the judges who should de-
eide to fill the position for the best inter-
ests of the schools. Educational interests
should be the factor to the election of such
q high Office as superintendent.
The contest no doubt will be extremely
warm, as both candidates are certainly pop
ular, and it will add interest to the ap-
preaching local election, when y new direc-
tors will be elected 1t is the 222 directors
of the.ward schools who elect the supcrin-
tendent. The position is worth $500 a
