IMMENSE IMPROVEMENTS
That Have Been Taking Place on the
Ohio River R. R.
During the Past Two Months-The
New Management is Making a
Good Road of It-Some Small
Railroad Notes.

The Ohio River railroad, under the
new management, is poisoning forth
like the flowers that bloom in the
spring. During the short time the new
manager, George A. Burt, has had
charge of affairs quite a number Of
radical changes have been made in the
running of trains on the road and also in
the construction of the line. Soon after
Mr.. Burt was installed in his present
position he inaugurated the first re-
form by appointing Capt. w. w. Wick
ham trainmaSter, an officer the road
had formerly not had Then the next
thing on the programme was when the
schedule was changed and two fast
through trains were put on. Smaller
changes have been made in the differ
ent departments all along, principal
among which were the appointments
of A. COurtrite as master mechanic and
w. w. Layman as inspector of air
brakes. In the meantime, while all
these changes in the transportation and
mechanical departments were going on,
the construction department was not
neglected. The force of men employed
in this department has been increased
steadily until at the present time
there are four work trains with large
crews at work at different points along
the line ballasting and filling in where
Jrestles were formerly. In addition to
this there has been an extra bridge
gang put to work on the bridges and
trestles and the number employed in the
old gang has been increased; the section
gangs are all working with a larger
force than for some time, and the road
is being put in first-class shape. The
principal amount Of the work mention
ed above is being done on the south end.
below Parkersburg. The north end is
also coming in for its share of the i'm
provements and among them might be
mentioned the new side track under con-
structiOn at Sistersville. This place has
been cramped for siding room for a
long time, but now with the twelve hun
dred feet of new track there will be
much better facilities for handling the
heavy business done at that point. Be
sides this work quite a number of the
trestles above Sistersville have been
substantially repaired and it is safe to
predict that before winter this road will
be in better shape than ever before in
its existence.

THE TARIFF AND WINDOW GLASS.


The duties on window glass were
among the largest reductions by the
new tariff. Under the Mckinley tariff
the duties on common window glass
ranged from 100 to 125 per cent But
Notwithstanding this large reduction,
the imports of window glass under the
new tariff are considerably less than
they were before-a fact which knocks
the props from under the Mckinley
theorists Instead Of a realization of
the prediction that the American mar
kot would be flooded by European win
dow glass, there are significant signs of
increased activity in the domestic man
ufactre.
As an effect of the substantial reduc-
tion Of the high, tariH wall the home
manufacturers have been obliged to re-
duce the prices OF their window glass.
With the reduction of price has come
an increased demand; and in this the
manufacturers have some compensa-
tiou fer the decline i'm the percentage of
their profit At the same time the
American consumers obtain cheaper
window glass, there is more certain en-
plOymeu- for q greater number Of
American glass workers
Under the Mckinley tariff the protec-
ton YVES solely for the manufacturing
corporations and trusts; under the new
tariff there is protection for labor and
the whole people.

The DelaXan Ere.

The burning of the Delayan, at AL
bany, will rank among the noteworthy
CONGREGATIONS of the year 1894. IL
was famous old Inn; forty years ago
il superseded old Stanwix Hall, which
had been, for half century, the rem
devious of the managers of politics at
New York's capital. Stanwix Hall
flourished in the days when William
III. Seward, Thurlow Weed and others
in the Albany regency were in full
swing.
But the early years of the war of the
rebellion found the political headquar-
tiers at the Delavan. Horatio Sey-
mour's friends gathered there The
famous rooms that were the trysting
place of the Infamous Tweed ring
were always an interesting object to
visitors. Roscoe Conklings friends
packed the place during the weary
weeks that witnessed his bootless fight
for a reelection after his huffy resig-
nation. Samuel j. TIlden's canal-ring
exposures found the Delavan the place
for private consultations. Within the
walls of the Delavan have been whis-
pered the words involving the rise or
fall of Reuben +. Fenton, Alonzo b.
Cornell, John Kelly, Samuel j. Tllden,
Thomas c. Plat, Frank ii scock. War
ner Miller, and scores and scores of
men. Daniel ;. Manning passed his
best years in an Office two minutes
distant. The capital is three blocks
away.
To-day, Governor Morton is tobe in
augurated with unusual pomp To-mor-
row, the work Of organizing the legis-
lature at Albany begins The burning
of the Delayan comes. therefore, at
most inopportune hour, especially in
view of the fact that, as the result of
fire, the Kenmore, Albany's next i'm
portant hotel, was completely dFenched
out last week
Years ago, in Tammany's palmy
time under Kelly. fire broke out in the
Delavan. IL was after m.dn ght and
there was panic, but fortunately the
flames were soon suppressed Some
OF the newspaper reporters made a
