To Permit of Pooling.

From the New York Times DEM.
What is now proposed by an amendment OF
the interstate commerce act Is to legaliZe
pooling contracts, to be made and maintained
with the approval ana under the supervision
or the commission. Something of this kind
might conserve the interes s of the railroads
and OF the public alike and it is worthy of
the most careful consideration. The present
tendency TO rate cutting and conflict OF inter
ests, tempered with bankruptcy and receiver
ships is destructive to railroads and bene-
fetal TO not Ody. 1t is only "A question how
mitigating the effects of competition in
business which naturally tends to mo

The House, on Thursday, passed a bill
TO abolish the Office Of commissioner Of
customs in the treasury department. And
thereby hangs a tale. The incumbent is
Mr.. Pugh, a Cincinnati lawyer, who
took Office last June 1t is said that as
soon as he got into his official toys he be
gan TO exceed his authority and endeavor
to ran things, even outside of his bureau,
in manner that was peculiarly his own.
Within the last two weeks, for instance,
he rendered an unsolicited decision that
the terms of Office Of collectors of ports,
naval officers of customs. surveyors Of
ports, and other custom house officials,
ended four years after the date Of their
appointment. and that he would not allow
them pay after that time. OF course he
had nothing to do with it, but his action
TO some extent embarrassed the secretary
and aroused the hostility of all collectors,
surveyors, etc. The secretary, it is un-
derstood investigated Nj Pugh's
bureau, and came TO the conclusion that
1t was merely one of those sinecures ere
ated by the republicans for the benefit of
some favorite, and that it was of no real
use to the department therefore he re-
commended that it be abolished. The
House found his recommendation well
grounded, and it is very probable that
the Senate will concur

When we get our city squares fixed up,

Within two weeks every coke oven in
the Connelsyille (Pa.) coke region will be
fired up. The number of men that will
be given employment will approximate
1000. The resumption will cover 90 per
cent. of the ovens in the coke district,
and more men will be at work than have
been employed at any time within three
years. All this is coming about notwith-
standing the fact that tariff reform is
nearer at hand now than it has been in
thirty years, and that the republicans are
shouting at the top of their voices that
the Wilson bill will ruin every industry in
Pennsylvania.

The Globe reports that week before last
one of the largest publishing firms in
Boston did the biggest business that it
has ever done in one week, with a single
exception. Book publishers in New York,
also, say that the trade in their line this
winter has been quite as good as during
any other year, and better than the
average. Here, then, is one line of bust
ness that has not been affected by the
hard times. People will read, it seems,
whether they work or not.

Mrs. Duestrow, of St. Louis. was re
Gently mortally shot by her husband The
husband surrendered Immediately TO the
police. Meantime some unknown person
summoned physician to attend the
wounded woman The physician called
was DR.. Burnays, leading surgeon. He
performed a surgical operation, but his
patient died, Notwithstanding The i'm
preston was, at the time of the tragedy,
that the Duestrows were very rich. A
few Gays ago DR.. Burnays presented a
bill for his services to the wounded
woman TO the Union Trust Company, trus-
tees Of the Duestrow property The bill
was for $4,000 The trust company re-
fused TO pay it. The doctor saws he con
slders the amount a fair charge for his
services, and if his bill is not paid he will
sue the estate for 5000 The question
Is what would that mans bill have been
had the woman lived? There's nothing
small about st. Louis doctors, at any

The mayors purpose to explain to coun-
Gil the immediate necessity of reminder
ing the houses throughout the city is in
line with what the MORNING NEWS and
Mr. Sholes, the directory publisher, have
been urging for years. Heretofore there
have been various obstacles in the way of
carrying out the work, which seem now
to have about disappeared. The renum-
bering should be upon some system that
would permit Of the expansion of the city
without confusing the door numbers with
halves, quarters and eighths, as is now
the case. The hundred-bock system, in
use in other progressive cities, seems TO
be about what we need.

Too Much Science.

Science is going altogether too far. 1t
is getting to be an intolerable bore, as
well as froE-blooded iconoclast. 1t is
bad enough to have science try to upset
some Of our pet theological beliefs. That,
however, can be tolerated, merely for
the sake Of argument" But when science
attacks sentiment, it is time to cali a
halt
This expression is called forth bya re
port recently made public by Prof. Brigg-
not the "heretic." who ends his name
with an IS" but a man almost as danger
Gus To our Institutions which he says:
1t is not generally known that a man
when in the act of walking at the rate of
four miles an hour, strikes the ground at
each step with force equal to about
double his own weight. A lady does the
same; but when she takes the arm of
man, she does more than afford pleasure
to her escort. She cannot put ten pounds
Of her weight upon the gentleman's arm
without relieving her feet of twenty
pounds Of percussion, and, at the
same time, causing the gentleman to
have twenty pounds more than if walk
ing at that rate himself Therefore. if
you Will multiply twenty by the number
OF strides the lady takes while thus re-
iieved, you can imagine how many thou
sand pounds of percussion have been
saved from her feet, and will understand
why she can walk further and easier
with an escort than alone"
What beauwill care picayune whether
be relieves a lady of geo pounds of per
cussion, or million pounds of percus-
sion, as they so to and from the singing
class, The beau does not calculate how
much of load he is carrying on his arm:
he does not care; the more the girl bears
down the better he likes it. 1t isn't a
matter of avordupois or percussion with
the young people And furthermore,
the plaguey scientist has GOT no business
knocking out sentiment in such cases and
substituting cold figures.
This is the third or fourth time within
the recent PAST that science has invaded
the domain of love and sentiment with
its veXatlous figures OF weights and
pressures, and its theories of i'll health.
Not long ago we were RECALLED with an ex-
position of the average pressure brought

expressed it as his opinion that health

kind And there was another deyotee
of science who wrote columns about the
unhealth fulneSs of kissing. how tbo ba,,

from lip to lip in the process Of kissing;
how the nectar slipped from rosy lips
sometimes contained diphtheria germs,
and how the warm labial salute should be

Now, these facts are disagreeable.

tend to without interfering with the

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1894-05-17
In the House.

The agricultural appropriation bill was
taken up at an early hour, and about two
thirds of the bill was considered. Only
two amendments increasing appropria-
tions were made-one for $500 to continue
the experiments with fax and hemp in the
state of Washington, and the other in
creasinS the appropriation for the purchase
and distribution of seed from $130, 600 to
$4,000. An important amendment offer
ed by Mr.. Hainer of Nebraska and agreed
to directs the president to enter into CORE
spondence with the authorities of Great
Britain with view to the abrogation or
modification of the regulations which re-
quire that cattle imported from the United
States shall be slaughtered at the port of
entry.
The only bills passed were for the relief
of Lenis A. Jackson and for the yalidation
of affidavits made before United States
commissioners in all land entries.
A resolution for the appointment of a
joint committee to inquire into the present
financial depression, and 70 report to con-
gress within 30 days what action should
be taken to relieve distress and give work
to the unemployed, was called up by Mr..
Mccain from the committee ON labor, but
it went over under objection. The house
finally adjourned for want of a quorum.

BUFFALO, May 1.-THE only noticeable
change in the soft coal situation in Buffalo
is that the supply is shrinking visibly.
The Erie road is using hard coal altogeth-
er on it's locomotives east of Hornellsville
and on all passenger trains throughout
the system. Superintendent Rossiter OF
the New York Central road says the Cen
trail road on that division is we'll fixed with
soft coal, having enough to last three
weeks at least.
Mr.. Rossiter says the road is practicing
economy, for the officials, like everybody
else, do not know how long the strike may
last. They have trains loaded with coal at
Depew, Lyons, Suspension Bridge, SYRIA
cuse and other places. Here in Buffalo
the road has $1,000 tons of coal on the
ground.
The Western New York and Pennsylva
mia has not enough on hand to last over a
week. Very soon the road will begin US
ing hard coal in their engines. The Lake
Shore is in pretty fair shape, but the Nick
ell Plate has not enough coal to last longer
than week. Captain Brinker of the firm
of Brinker & Jones said that he had re-
ceived advices from the Keystone Mining
company of Westmoreland county, Pa,
that the Pennsylvania and the Allegheny
Valley railroads had confiscated about 100
cars of soft coal consigned to his firm.

Pittsburg In n Bad Way.

PITTsBURG, May 1.-THE coal famine
which has been threatening this city fol
some time is now practically an established
reality. The problem of Low to get more
has already passed the serious stage. Many
of the railroad dealers have suspended
business entirely and are simply waiting
for the strike to end
The Westinghouse Electric company is
getting its supply of coal from lutte 6 Co.
Messrs. lutte & Co. would not say how
long they expected to be able to supply
them, but seemed to think they will have
enough to run them.
Work at Aldred & Bender's red lead
works in Sharpsburg has been suspended
on account of no coal. This is the fourth
plant to shut down up there. All the other
mills in and about the city are preparing
. to shut down. At the Brilliant water
works crude oil is being put under the
boilers by a steam jet and burned as fuel.
This answers perfectly, but cannot be used
in the city, as insurance companies will
not permit it, Nearly every business house
in this city is running short of fuel for
steam boilers. The problem Of how to run
engines without steam or raise steam with.
out fuel now demands an answer. Gas is
scarce as coal almost and cannot be got for
firing boilers.

SOLlDLY ANTl-BRIGGS.
The Presbyterian General Assembly Begin
Its Sessions Today.

SARATOGA, May 1.-THE one hundred
and sixth general assembly of the Presby-
terrain church in the United States was
begun at this place this morning. The or
ganization of the body and the delivery of
the sermon of the retiring moderator oc-
cupied the morning session.
The New York presbyter is represented
by solid conservative delegation. Last
year the delegation was divided, standing
8 to 6 in favor of DIR. Briggs, but no votes
were cast liz the general assembly on ac-
count of the position of New York that it
had no voice in the assemb bly, on account of
Briggs coming from that state. A very
significant feature of the solid conserva-
tive delegation from New York is that it
indicates a complete revolution in the SEN
timent of the people of this state, which is
emphasized by the fact that two members
of the Briggs prosecuting committee are
among the commissioners. Last year the
liberal element was quite well represented
in the Philadelphia delegation
This year the Quaker City sends H. of
whom IL are pronounced conservatives
and the other is classed as doubtful by
that element, but is claimed by the hber
ais
The general assembly last year voted 40
to 145 in favor of entertaining the appeal
dSetlASt tHS JuuSuleuU VI ouc Sy HOu VI NE"
York, which dismissed the charges against
DR.. Briggs. The vote to sustain the ap-
peal was carried by $40 to 116, which fall
ing off in the total vote is explained by the
fact that the conservatives were so certain
of succeeding that they went away on ex-
cursions while the vote was taken.
The indications are that the general as
sembly will be overwhelmingly conserva
tive, and that change of feeling has come
into the hearts of many Presbyterians in
the past year.

KELLY'S TROUBLES.
His Navy Followed and Harassed by Rail-
road DEPUTIES.

His Navy Followed and Harassed by Rail-
road Deputies.
OTTUMWA Ia, May 17.-There is intense
excitement in Eldon over Kelly's army.
AS boat was coming down the river the
citizens called it ashore for the purpose of
giving the men buttermilk. Immediately
deputy shertfs employed by the Rock Is
land road rushed down to prevent land
ing. Some one threw stone at the Kelly
men, breaking the ribs of one man and
rendering another unconscious.
Bad blood exists between the Kelly men
and the Rock Island deputies, and another
lot of Kellyites attempted to land on the
east bank of the river, the camp being on
the west side. The Rock Island deputies
endeavored to prevent landing and a
pitched battle ensued, and Conductor
Charles Martin was struck on the head
with a club. 1t is thought that his skull
was fractured. Two Kellyites were ar
rested and tried in the afternoon.
The people generally think the fracas
could have been avoided if the deputies
had been less officious. When the row was
on, Kelly's men in camp got into barges
and rowed hastily across. Kelly inter
cepted them and ordered all back to camp.
The Rock Island has run all its engines
out of it's yard and fears serious trouble at
the next stop of the army at Pennington.
