THE RAILROADS,

NJ. b. Cutter superintendent OF the
Pittsburgh and Wheeling divisions Of
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, resign
ed Tuesday. Mr.. Cutter has given no
reason for his resignation, which was
purely voluntary. There was an impres.
sion in railroad circles that the reslg'
nation was due to the appointment Of
William Gibson as assistant general
superintendent, says the Pittsburgh
Commercial. Mr.. Gibson will be loca-
ted IN Pittsburgh, and have complete
control here, and Mr.. Cutters resigna-
ton coming at the time when Nc Glib
son takes charge led many TO believe
that Mr.. Gibson had displaced Mr.. Cut
ter
oscar c. Murray, receiver OF the
road, denies this fatty He said that the
step was made with view to assisting
Gutter and give him more time TO at,
tend 10 the work on his divisions, and
that he was expected to stay. Mr.. Cut
ter has asked 10 be relieved immediate
~, but II is not likely that his success
sor will be appointed for some time,
NJ. Il. Gutter has been superintendent
on the Baltimore & Ohio for about five
years. During that time the road has
made wonderful progress at Pittsburgh.
The business has more than trebled on
this division. Before Mr., Gutter took
charge none Of the through traffic on
the Baltimore &c Ohio ran through
Pittsburgh. Now over 30 per cent goes
through the smoky city, and Mr.. Cutter
said that he expected that eventually
90 per cent Of all through business Of
the road would be via Pittsburgh.
Mr. Gutter was born in Boston, but
came to Pittsburgh from Louisville,
where he had been In charge of the
Huntington lines TO New orleans. Mr.
Cutter said that he could not say
whether he would remain In Pittsburgh
or not, as his business arrangements are
not yet completed.

Wrong in this Country.

NEW YORK, Sep. Limited States
Senator Benjamin r. TIllman address
ed a political meeting last night at
Ridgewood Park, Brooklyn, under the
auspices OF silver Democratic organiza-
lions. Senator Tnlman made charae-
terlstic speech. He said. In part;
THE Democracy went down before
the corporations, but so surely as the
people are true to themselves, true 10
Democracy, so surely will William Jen-
nlngs Bryan, in 1900. be swept into the
Presidents chair. Unless the people OF
this country take their affairs into their
own hands, instead OF allowing million
aires and capitalists TO legislate for
them, they viii pretty shortly have the
militia and the United States soldiers
at their throats, just as you see to-day
the militia and the soldiers OF the Uni
ted States ready 10 spring at the threats
OF the miners In the coal regions, and TO
shoot them down. II you want to pre-
serve this republic, you've got to wake
up"
Senator Tillman then referred to the
action OF the "So-called Democrats OF
New York last year, who were afraid TO
go to Chicago 10 meet the anarchists

few millionaires, such as William G.
Whitney and Perry Belmont Mr.. TILL
man sneered at the Democrats who
wanted to keep national questions out
of the local issue this year, and said
that such men could not be counted in
the ranks of the true Democracy and
had better so over 90 the Republican
party. Mr.. Tillman scorned the idea
that dollar wheat meant prosperity, and
pointed out that 1t was entirely due to
the failure of the wheat crop in Flu
rope, and that there could be no pros

reminded his hearers that there were

contest that took place at Carson City,
between Corbett and Fitzsimmons were
not particularly remarked In the news.
papers until after the exhibition OF the
Verlscope pictures Of this contest The
most widely discussed points In the
contest were the counting of the referee
when Corbett had Fitaimmons down
in the sixth round and the alleged foul
blow struck byFltzslmmousw when Corbet
was down in the fourteenth round
There have been many arguments re-
gardlng these two points, both for and
against since the initial exhibition OF
these pictures at the Academy of Music
In New York, and II will be gratifying
to the citizens of Wheeling to hear that
the Verlscope pictures with the original
films Of the contest, which were pro-
duced in New York and during the
long run at the Boston theatre, will be
seen here next week They will be on
exhibition at the Wheeling Park four

The wielders of clubs patroled the
school yards while crowds on the out

Spring Valley coal company faction Of
the school board many Of whom do not
live here, have many things against
them. The old teachers who were REIN

fused to recite their lessons for the
