Yesterday Chairman Welch. Of the In
side right Of way committee. turned over
to the secretary the deed Of Dolph. Upton
and Welch, which completes the deeds
inside the city with the exception Of the
suits that will necessarily have to be
commenced. The labors Of the committee
are practically ended, and in a few days
their report will be ready and submitted
to the general committee Of twenty-one.
1t will certainly be an interesting docu-
ment, and will show a remarkable result
Of the labors OF the gentlemen connected
with 1t. The right of way is complete TO
the o. r. and N. dock, unless 1t be one
suit to be filed against a small tract In
Uppertown. West of the o. R. and N.
dock several strips are still out, but con.
demnatlon proceedings will be instituted
at once, and It is not thought the ex-
pense of securing the right Of way
through these tracts will amount to more
than few hundred dollars.

While Contractor Benin and several OF
his men were at work in the new water
tunnel at Coxcomb Hill Sunday after,
noon, the roof caYed in at one spot about
twenty feet in their rear, effectually PEN
ming the men for the time being. The men
were naturally frightened, but with great
presence of mind Mr.. Benin said, Boys,
we will camp right here and go to work"
And they did, Mr.. Benin staying with
them and helping to clear out the De,
brls The accident was caused by the
recent heavy rains soaking down from
above through a hole made by the en-
gineer In testing the character of the
earth. The surface Of the ground sank
down about four feet, leaving circular
hole nearly six feet in diameter with its
sides almost perpendicular. Something
like two tons Of earth was deposited in
the tunnel. The debris was all removed
yesterday, and the breach repaired with
heavy timbers. Work Is progressing as
usual. The tunnel is now into the hill
perhaps 100 feeI, and but for the accident
would by this time have been 100 feet
further. A little work was done yester-
day on the reservoir, but the earth is 30
slippery for the teams and so heavy TO
move that little can be done. Work will
be resumed today If the weather clears,

HOW IT HAPPENED.
REGULAR CREW REFUSED TO WORK WITH

REGULAR CREW REFUSED TO WORK WITH
 AsQUAD OF HUNGARIANs.
 HOMESTEAD, Pa., Jan. 3.-The trouble last night at the Homestead Steel works of the Carnegie company was caused more particularly on account of a number of Hungarians having been assigned to that department than 1t was by the reduced wage scale. The regular crew in the 119- inch mill refused to work with the Hunga- rians and quit. The fact remains, how ever, that the men were able to cara but 60 cents for their days work.
 This was because tIie mill was not work ed to its capacity, and not on account of the fault in the wage scale. This mornIng the l50 men comprising the day crew in tb, 119-inch mill also quit work. <e

IRON TRADE REVIEW.

CLEVELAND, O., Jan. 3.-The Iron Trade Review today says: What is or is not done in iron and steel in the last week of an old year and the first week of a new one does not signify SO much the indica- tious as to future business that are at such times most closely scanned. There may be
 more of hope than of prophecy in the general conf dence expressed that the new year is to be one of enlarged demand, but the reason for this belief still holds good
 as most of the inquiries applied to rail-
 roads for imperative requirements have not
 been met, but soon must be.
 Wage statistics and railroad earning statements concur in showing improve
 ment over 1898, with continuing, though
 lessening, decline from 1892. A greater ag-
 gregate Of wages is being paid at industrial
 establishments than at the sams time one
 year ago, and all the comparisons that go
 back twelve months show a gradual ad-
 vance to heavy consumption. It is nowhere
 believed that the railroads can go through
 another year with purchases of less than 750,010 tons of rails for both
 new mileage and renewals, yet the
 immediate developments as to rail con-
 tracts are no more promising than year ago.
 In active business through the holiday week the east appears to lead, with Chi cago aud the central west quiet in most lines. Philadelphia inquiries received both In raw aud hn1Shed materials indicate that January will exceed expectations. /
 Eastern furnaces are holding prices stead-
 fly and have accumulated little stock. The
 November increase in coke iron stocks n
 western Pennsylvania aud eastern Ohio
 furnace yards are responsible for the weak
 ness evidenced in those sections, at least
 for the fortnight, with Bessemer selling at Sl0 to S10.5 at Pittsburg, admittedly cost Tor some furnaces.
 The run of foundry iron buying in early December has been followed by lull in the central west, with some prices named here and there on the little business up
 that would ordinarily stagger belief. Yet in the eastern and western selling centers the lines have been held with much more firmness. Ia finished material the east re- ports two large plate contracts. Other good business Is pending, and the ship yards are counted on for some January buying.
 Structural developments in eastern cities, particularly New York and Boston, have been encouraging, and mills west of the Allegheny are not likely to stand too sttfiy on prices when the work is given out. BI1- lets have been weaker at Pittsburg and the shading of S15 is reported the past week, and it is known that even a modern mill entertains such a proposition to bridge over the uneasiness following the holidays. Bar iron men east of the mountains are getting together to stop the elimination of Texas and put the trade on bare footing, some- thing the western manufacturers have been unable yet to accomplish.

TO GO STILL FURTHER.
A Committee Which Wants the Lexow Investigators Continued for Still Further Search After Mis-
 doings in New York.

NEW YoRK, Jan. 3.-At regular meet ing of the chamber of commerce today the report of the special committee on munic- ipal reform concerning an investigation by the legislature of all departments of the ctyiof New York was submitted by Charles Stewart Smith. -4
 The committee requests that the Lexow committee be continued until January 1, 1896, with power to investigate auy and all of the departments of this city; that special powers should be given this committee to compel the attendance of witnesses and to punish for contempt, and that the grand jury in the court of oyer and termiDer, now empaneled, should uphold the indictments of all public officers who have been guilty of corrupt misconduct in office. The report also says:
 Six years of Tammany administration have cost the city in bonded indebtedness and expenditures, from appearances, $274,- cyl ,O76, as against s237 ,051 ,9i9 for the pre- over LOGO ,000 per annum, exclusive of revenue and assessment bonds.
 The jury lists have been tempered with, and justice has not been done. Public con- tracts are awarded to few favored con tractors, while as rule the departments are filled with employees appointed at the dictation of political bosses and of class of men ignorant of their duties.
 Thousands of msn are upon the pay rolls of the various departments who practically do no work.
 The committee believes that an examina- ton by special grand juries will not alone answer the purpose.
 The removals of heads of departments to be replaced with bstter men will not utfice. Wholesale removals will not suffice, though necessary. Wholesale punishment must follow, until it has drawn into the meshes of the law not only the corrupt official, but the corrupt contractor as well. Blackmail and bribery must stop. In all of this work the legislature should do its part.
 In conclusol the committee offers resolu- tions recognizing the value of the work done by the Lexow committee and thank ing them for the faithful manner in which they performed their duties, and extend their thanks to John w. Golf and his as- sistants for the able and effective manner in which the evidence was prepared and laid before the public.
 resolution was unanimously adopted recommending congress to pass bill which authorizes the president to appoint com mittee of three experts to make thorough study of the public, offices, to determine what portions ought to be preserved in the interest of the city and prepare plan for their mauap0meut-

 and a number of list tights occurred. The greatest excitement prevailed for time. One man. Mike Coloski, leader, was
 thrown bodily from the hall. In the tur-

CANADA,s DEAD PREMIER

LAID TO REST WITH IMPOSING CERE-
 MoNIEs-THE CITY IN MOURNING.
 HALIFAX, N. s., Jan. 3.-All homage earth can bestow has been paid to the mortal remains of Canada's late premier, and the body was today committed to it's tomb. The services at St. Mary's cathe- dral were the most solemnly imposing ever seen and heard in Canada, and were fit- ting termination of the obseqnies held in Great Britain by direction of the queen and imperial government.
 The weather today was beautifully fiue, and from very early hour the principal thoroughfares of the city were tbronged with people desirons of obtaining view of the procession. fas t54
 Many wore memorial badges and nearly all were attired in black. Public and private buildings were heavily draped in mourning, and in nearly all the trades mems windows were pictures of the late premier. Thousands of strangers from all parts of Canada were present among the visitors, as were also members of parlia- ment, judges and other high officials.
 Early this morning the body was con- veyed privately from the council chamber, where it had been lying in state, to St. Mary's church and placed in front of the altar. Accompanying the casket were wreaths presented Sy the qussn and ms,h he. church was completely drsped.
 Lord Aberdeen, Col. Montgomery Morre and Lieutenant-Governor Daley occupied seats in the chancel. Lady Thompson oc- cupied position near the catafalque espe- cially provided for her. Archbishop O'Brien preached an eioquently impressive sermon. reN Tii
 The procession formed extended over a mile in length. As the ,cortege moved through the streets it was the m ost inn pressive sight ever witnessed in Halifax. It will be long remembered by those who saw it. cts ftH

 Is Ordered Held.
BRUCE KELLEY ALLOWED BAIL
w. s. Bicunt Held for the Deatf of Paddle WalIaCe-The
 Coroner's Inquest.

The preliminary trial of James Adkins and Bruce K .lley, charged with killing Sam Bowen, was held yesterday before Justice Benners, ard resulted in Adkins being held without bail and Kelley bound over jn the sum of $l5o0.
 When the case was called the little court room was crowded, and much interest in the case was shown. Kelley and Adkins, together with Sam Bowen, the murdered boy, were in Haran' saloon, on the corner of Fourth aven ue and Eighteenth street. Christmas night. They disputed and a quarrel ensued. The affair was then ended by pistol shot fired by Adkins, from the result of which Bowen died.
 The defendants were represented by At torpey B. NJ. Allen, while Circuit Solicitor Charles Ferguson and Attorney John s.. Kennedy appeared for the state.
 The principal witness in the case was John NJ. Haran, who was attending the bar in the saloon at the time Of the shoot. ing.
 > Mir. Haran's testimony was in eubstance the same as the story printed in the AGE HERALD on the morning following the oc' currence.
 His evidence showed that Bowen and Kel- " were III tue SdlOOu SuOOtiuB pohcl uiCc TUT the drinks. After they had been playing for some time Bowen accused Kelley of try ing to "hog'' him. Kelley offered to leave it to any one in the house 10 decide 1t. A dispute arose and both began throwing beer bottles at each other. Bowen then tried to run out Il side door and couldn' It.. As he turned and tried to run out another door Adkins pulled pistol and fired on him.
 When Rowen started back from the door, which he tried to get through and couldn't, Kelley told Adkins to shoot him.
 After Bowen had fallen to the floor a knife was found. Several other witnesses were put on the stand including the mur- dered man's mother, who told Bowen E dying statement, which was to the effect that both of tbese boys jumped on him. The statements made by the defen dant were in substance what has already been published in the AGG-HLRALO. Both men were then taken back to the county jail.
 Kelley has not made bond, but 1t is thought that he will.

RIvERf S,i, Jan. .-tSpecial. l--shortly after icck last night Mir. NJ. c. Graddy, in company with MT. L. B. Mor- ris, the former being somewhat intoxi- cited, left this place for their respective homes on the other side of the river. Mir Morris persuaded MT. Graddy not to go over as it was dark and would be unsafe, but the latter insisted on going, so with q tight grip on MT. Graddy they started.
 Just as they reached the last span of the bridge MT. Graddy made a lunge, dragging MT. Morris with him. The latter fortu- nately caught the pier as he fell, but Mir. Graddy fell headlong into the river, falling n distance of 80 feet. MT. Morris made every effort to secure boat, but without success, in time to save Mir. Graddy.
