aud all hope of saving anything was ahan-

the roof and went down into the cellar and
ignired the oils stored there. The loss is
placed AT SCOT on the goods, while the
building is valued at about $4,000. Their

THE FAST MAIL SERVICE.
A Great Saving of Time for People Living
in Indiana and the West.

A Great Saving of Time for People Living
in Indiana and the West.
The PENNSYLVANIA Railroad began with
last night to give Uncle Sam the finest ex-
hibition of speed and good service in the
delivery of the Eastern mails to the west
that has ever been known in the history OF
the COMPANY. On the Goth of December
the company put on a mail car from Pitts
burg to Chicago, via Ft. Wayne,
that connects with the New York
train arriving here at $40, and
arriving in Chicago at 9:45 in the morning.
1t was intended at that time to give the
same facilities to Indianapolis, running the
car on the indianapolis and st. Louis dlyls-
ion. but the PENNSYLVANIA Company was
unable to complete the car in time. Gin
cinnati was given the same service as Chl-
cago. The indianapolis and St Louis car
has been completed aud was attached to
that division of the road for Its hrst run
last night, going as far as Nenla with the
Cincinnati car, and thence directly through
to the West.
The advantages of this rapid service to
the four cities is almost incalculable, afford
ing to the banks, business houses and mer-
chants generally mail service from New
York direct that they long have wished for,
but little expected to get. This train makes
four hours better time than train No. IL,
which formerly left New York at AS A. NJ,
but which has since been made local To
the business men of Western and Central
Indiana this means "a hours better time
than they have heretofore enjoyed, because
good connections can be made at 1ndianapo-
lis with the trains leaving that city for the
sections named, which has until now been
impossible. Major W. F. Hit, chief clerk
of the service at Indianapolis, and Fred NJ.
Burr chief clerk at Cincinnati, left with
he new train last night.

walks, bridges and other Improvements,
with the assurance that the ward will get
them if Henry Magee is sent to Common
Council. Similar circulars are being
distributed bv Robert r. Warner,
the present Select Councilman from
the Sixteenth ward, and Henry
Epping, who is opposing him. Under the
heading of Warmers record is blank page,
while under the heading of Epping's record
Is printed review of all his work while in
Council for several years. In that ward the
light is bitter and ugly, and the followers OF
the candidates are worked up to the light
ing point. The contest is likely to be close
and many ugly scars are likely to result
from the conflict. No disturbances are con-
templated, but it was asserted in the ward
last night that both sides had provided
ample liquid refreshments to keep steam up
to the top gauge for the entire day.
Close Fight in the Nineteenth Ward.
In the nineteenth ward DR.. j. P. Ster-
ritt is making lively fight for Common
Council against George Williams. The
contest is decidedly hot, but the campaign
has been clean and entirely free from per-
sonalities or abuse. Both candidates are
confident of success and even the leaders
were last night confused by the outlook.
In the other old city and East End
wards the contests to-day will be spirited
and interesting, hSt do not rise to the
dignity ef political fights.
Senator Finn said last night: "There
are several rather ugly contests on for to-
morrow, but our fellows have their work
we'll in hand. There are but eight Inde-
pendent candidates in the field, and 1 am
confident the complexion of Councils will
not be materially changed.
A petition was presented in court yester-
day by j. j. McAfee asking that an over
seer be appointed tor the Second district of
the Fifth ward for to-day's election. The
Court appointed R. Chaplin and James
Stoford to act as overseers
The effort to drag the church into the
fight in the Thirty third ward has created
some little confusion in the fight on the
Southside. The ward is largely Demo-
cratic, but the friends of Thomas Perry, the
Republican candidate are not without hope.

against the city for 50, 600 was adopted.
An ordinance for the transfer of $1,000
from the funds not in use in the City Treasury

MORGAN FOR CONGRESS.
The Alliance Manufacturer Would Like t.
Get McKinlev,s Old Place

Tho Alliance Manufacturer Would Like to
Get Mckin1ey's Old Place.
T. R. Morgan, Sr., the Alliance manu-
facturer, went to Philadelphia last evening.
He is candidate for Congress in McKin-
ley's old district; so are Judge King
and General Asa Jones, of Youngs-
town, but it is possible that
Mr.. Morgan will not have these men for
competitors. One of the bills in the Legis-
lature makes a district out of Stark, Carroll
and Columbiana counties. This leaves out
Mahoning county in which Youngstown is
located. Another bill puts Mahoning in
with Stark. As for Major Mckinley, Mr..
Morgan thinks that he will be nominated
for President. He figures that the leading
candidates will go to Minneapolis with
strong delegations, get into a snarl, and
then Mckinley will be selected as COM
promise. This would remove the Major
from the field. He has a great desire to go
back to Congress after he serves his term as
Governor
1t is hard to tell which one of the bills
redistricting the State will be passed, but
whether Mahoning county is in the district
or not Mr.. Morgan will enter the field for
Congressional honors. He Is prepared for a
tilt, if necessary, with Judge King or Gen
eral Jones'

INDIANA DEMOCRATS FOR GRAY.
Mp shively Says That Good Politics Would
Dictate His Nomination.

Mr, shfveIy Says That Good Politics Would
Dictate His Nomination.
Congressman Shively, of Indiana, with
his wife, who is daughter of George A.
jerks, passed through the city last evening,
bound for Washington. ''Out in Indiana,
he said, "our people are all for Gray for first
place. We think that he stands good
chance to be nominated, and realize that We
lost everything four years ago when we
were on the fence Whether Harrison is
renominated or not by the Republicans, it
would be good politics for the Democrats TO
have an Indiana man on the ticket. Gray
is after first position and l do not know
that he would take second place. 1 have
not talked with him on that subject He
will have solid delegation from the State. "
Mr. Shively thinks that attacking the
tariff piecemeal is the best plan. He says
it gives men chance to vote for an ad-
vance or reduction in the duty on certain
articles, an opportunity that they did not
have before when they cast their ballots
with the combination. The piecemeal
method takes the tariff out of politics, and
allows Congressman to vote as they think
best. A number of Republicans objected
to some of the duties in the Mckinley bill,
but under the circumstances they had to
support the measure as whole or lose all.
Mr.. Shivelv thinks that silver legislation
will be precipitated by the declarations
made in New York before Congress opened
that no silver bill would be reported. This
only stirred up Bland to greater activity.
Mr.. Shivelv adds that discussing the silver
question will not help Grover Cleveland's
chances for the Presidency.

Steel Men May Strike at Uniontown.

A dispatch from Uniontown last night
says: NJ M. Garland, of Pittsburg. Assist
ant President of the Amalgamated Associa-
tion of Iron and Steel Workers, is here to-
night attending meeting of the association
of this place, held to take action on the pro-
posed reduction of 25 per cent in wages
offered by the Columbia Iron and Steel
Company. Mr.. Garland said tonight that
the association would submit to no reduc-
tion, and that a committee had been ap-
pointed to meet the company tomorrow
morning, and that if the company will not
stick to the scale the mill will have to close
down. The company promises their men
steady work of II days per week, six day
and five night turns until the 1st of August
if they submit to the reduction, as they can
secure orders enough to run that long.

A TWENTY MILLION MORTGAGE
The Fidelity Title and Trust Company's
Unprecedented Trusteeship.


The Fidelity Title and Trust Company
was yesterday appointed trustee in the lar
gest financial transaction that has ever been
placed in the care of a Pittsburg institution.
It was in relation to the mortgage of $50,
900 900 which has been issued as one of the
steps in the reorganization of the Allegheny
Valley Railroad Company Heretofore
Philadelphia companies have been selected
for the trusteeship in great transactions of
this sort, but in this instance, while the
financial interests affected are mostly
located at Philadelphia, the Fidelity of
Pittsburg was selected by the Philadelphia
people as the proper trustee.
Secretary McVey, of the Fidelity, yester-
day had g copy of the $50, 900, 900 mortgage
elegantly printed on vellum. 1t was to be
recorded yesterday In Allegheny county,
and to-day will be sent to eight other coun-
ties in which the property belonging to the
road is located. These counties are Arm
strong, Westmoreland, Clarion, Venango,
Crawford, Jefferson, Cameron and Elk.
This is the largest mortgage ever recorded
in Allegheny county, with the exception of
one connected with the Pittsburg, Cincin-
natl and st. Louis Railroad, in which the
amount was S75, 900, 900, but the trusteeship
for the Panhandle mortgage fell to one of
the Philadelphia companies, while that of
the Allegheny Valley Railroad is sent to
Pittsburg.

A Small Street Car Wreck.

An accident happened at 10 o'clock last
night near the corner of Irwin and Western
avenues, Allegheny, on the Pittsburg, ALLIE
gheny and Manchester line. Car No. 1O5,
of the Woods Run division, was just round
ing the curve at the corner of Irwin avenue,
wheels left the track, and before the moter-
man could apply the brakes the car banged
clear across the street and against a tele-
graph pole Car No. 105 was coming in the
opposite direction at the same time with
such speed that it could not be checked aud
a collision occurred. Both cars were COM
fortably filled with passengers at the time,
all of whom escaped any further injury than
bad shaking up. 1t is thought the car was
running too fast and it jumped the track.
