A GREAT HOUSE WARMING.
Memphis VIII Celebrate the Bridge Open
ing In Grand style.


ing In Grand style.
Memphis has put her best foot
forward for a great house warming
on May 10, to which she invites
everybody far and near. The occa-
sion will be the formal opening of
the new $2,500,000 railroad and
passenger bridge to public traffic.
The bridge is not only triumph
Of engineering skill, but will prove
a wonderfully economical, quick
and safe method of transportation
from the western and southwest
ern markets, across the Mississippi
River to the eastern markets and
seaboards, and vice versa, from the
eastern seaboard and market to the
consumers West and Southwest.
A remarkable fact is this bridge
is pitched at the exact point where
in May, 154l, fernando De Soto,
with his band of fearless followers
pressing westward first sighted the
"Father of Waters" and set up a
sort Of military post The excaya-
tions for the immense abutments on
the eastern banks, at Chisca Mound,

warlike implements used by these

building of this bridge, but what

Memphis proposes to do the hon

DECLARATION FOR ocALAIsM.
THE GOVERNOR HAS MADE THE ISSUE.
The Fight From Now on VIII be squarely
for Ocalaism or Democracy.

A Trenton special, April 81, to
the Nashville American says: The
interview with Buchanan, as pub
lished in yesterdays American,
created considerable comment here,
especially so as all of Buchanan's
supporters and great many OF
Judge Turney's followers believed
thatif the governor should everun-
dertake to open his mouth to speak
he would announce himself square
ly in unison with Democracy.
A great many of his supporters
have cooled off considerably since
the publication of the interview,
and there is no doubt but that Glib
sons SO votes will be cast in the
convention for Tennessee's gallant
Peter Turney.
The Gibson County Democrat,
that has heretofore been a red-hot
Buchanan paper, could not swallow
the Ocalaism and McDowellism
with which the governors inter
view was so pregnant, and will say
III double-leaded editorial to-mor-
row:
"Governor Buchanan has at last
broke the silence that has hung like
a pail over the executive chamber
since his Inauguration. In an in
terview Wednesday, which is pub
lished elsewhere i'll this paper, the
governor comes out Of his shell and
plants himself squarely on the
Ocala demands. This is somewhat
Of a surprise to the Democrat. We
had been led to believe that at heart
the governor was against these her
estes and that if he ever spoke al
all it would be to denounce them
With this understanding the Dem.
ocrat took the position that it would
be to the best interests of the party
to give him a second term, but his
interview i'll which he declares thai
he has never deviated one iota from
the principles which he enunciatet
as president of the Alliance, puts
him in an entirely different attitude
toward Democracy.
ave are glad the governor has
spoken, because it is the duty O
the chief executive to give his yiewi
on all questions of public interest
because it makes the issue, it leave
no ground for compromise or wab
bling on the gudgeon. 1t is eithe
one thing or the other, Democrac,

squarely and fairly.

above personal relations. This be

THE READING SUITS.
Conclusion of Attorney Gen
era1 StoCkton's Ar
gument-The Vail
Case.
Special to the Jersey City Neaus.

TRENTON. July 81, 1s92.-The argument
in the coal combine suits wai concluded
before Chancellor McGill this morning,
but no decision was given. The Attor-
ney General continued the argument be-
gun by him yesterday. He in
sisted that the companies had no legal
authority to make such a lease and
tripartite combination. The question to
be decided is not whether the companies
can fulfill their duties to! the State, but
whether under the new agreement they
would carry out the purpose for whicn
they were created. 1t must not be for
gotten that the State has rights and the
people must be properly protected.
The Attorney General then quoted
largely from the affidavits and evidence
given by President Mcleod, the trend of
which was to show that the leases
made by the Reading, aud the Port Read
ing were only a cover for them. SO as to
keep them within the meaning Of the
law. 90
After the conclusion of the Attorney
Generals agreement, Barker Gummere
argued as Counsellor for the Vail Estate
the suit to set aside the case of the New
Jersey Central. because the Vail ex-
ecutors were not notified of the meeting,
nor were they permitted to vote on it.

HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 81, 1S92.-This
was the last day of grace allowed by the
steel makers and other employees of the
Homestead mills to apply for reinstate-
ment.
Scores of the workmen were putting in
applications, but it was not at the Car
negie office. Work was to be had for the
asking at the rooms of the Amalgamatetl
Association Advisory Board and the head
quarters of the mechanics and laborers
further down the street.

tractors, had made requisition at both
places for at least three hundred work

The boon was readily accepted, chiefly
by the unskilled workmen, and the vi

The anarchists caused the strike lead
ers some little uneasiness by an attempt
to get out more circulars such as have
been distributed, urging the militia not
to be "hired butchers. !"
1t was ascertained that one of the two
printing offices in town was getting out

charter provides that the Tax Comnis-
sioners shall give $4,000 bonds. but does

JUST A RAILWAY FAKE.
Mr.. Thurston Dlsposes of an Electric
Traction Oniuu1 Dream

Mr.. Thurston Disposss of an Electric
Traction Opium Dream.
A Newark paper yesterday allowed it
self to be imposed upon with long
screed to the effect that war had
been declared between electricity
and steam and that the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company had determined
to knock out the Erie, Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western and New jersey
Central Railroads in their suburban traf-
fic by electrical force. The opinion pub
llshed in the Newark paper said
the Pennsylvania Company had secured
control of the Central Electric road, the
Passaic Elevated Transit Company. the
New Jersey Traction Company and the
Plank Road Company. The scheme,
as set forth. was that the
Pennsylvania Company, through these
different companies was to control the
passenger traffic in Newark, Elizabeth,
Montclair, and convey passengers direct
from those localities to the Jersey City
ferry. in opposition to the steam railroads.
Today. I asked Charles B. Thurston.
president of the jersey City and Bergen
Company what truth there was In the
published dream. Mr.. Thurston replied:-
"rhere is butyery little, the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company he's no interest what

is S1.000,000 invested in this, and of
the 10000 shares of stock the Pennsyl-
vania Company owns. just fourteen
shares more than half. bare
any Of the companies mentioned
is connected with the Pennsylvania Com
pany except myself. l was elected a
director of the New Jersey Traction Com
pany. but have not yet accepted because
1 do not know whether it
would be proper tor nee to do so.
These Newark companies will want to
run to the ferry in this city by electric
motors, but to dc SO they must contract
with the Plank Road Company
for right of way and power.
For that reason I have not
yet accepted the office. If the New Jer-
sey Traction Company desires to use the
Plank road it will either have>to change
its guage or the passengers will have to
change cars. The Newark guage is four
inches wider than that of the Plank
road.
sit is ridiculous to dream of the com
petition of a street railroad with steam
road. One has an unobstructed road
and can run at full speed, while
the other is liable to all
sorts of distractions. No, there will be
no competition whatever. When the
Pla nix Road Company Is prepared it will
carry New Jersey Traction passengers to
this city and that is al"
