BLocxADED TIE STREETS.
A u. 4 o. Freight Train Cuts on Four
Streets for Nineteen Minutes.


Saturday night shortly after eight
o'clock. Baltimore 6 Ohio engine No.
III, came down Seventeenth and Six
teenth streets with a long string Of
empty freight cars. and as the engine
reached the bridge crossing the creek at
Main street, the train was tagged, and
for nineteen minutes, Main, Market Eoff
and Chapllne streets were blocked.
Large crowds of pedestrians and a long
string OF wagons were delayed on the
principal thoroughfares and as the act
was a violation OF the ordinance, Chief
of Police Bennett had warrants sworn
out for the engineer and conductor OF
the train. The chief Is determined to
stop this practice, which has become
common of late. and the road will be
compelled 10 pay for each and every
offense. Had an alarm Of fire been
turned in at the time the freight cars
blocked the streets named, It would
have been impossible for the depart
ment to respond. The central station at
the Atlantic engine house was even
blocked off from the South Side.
Lieutenant Supler reports very fool
ish young lady Of perhaps eighteen
summers, who had her male companion
carry her bicycle between the cars, and
then eTawied under the ears. Just as
she started the train began to move and
the young lady had a narrow escape
from being crushed beneath the wheels.

TIE RAILROADS.

General Passenger Agent E. A. Ford,
of the Pennsylvania and Vandalia lines,
has issued statement concerning tn,
new 1,OO0-mlle interchangeable book is
sued by the central passenger commit
tee. The statement of Mr.. Ford Is quite
lengthy and fun Of arguments defend
Ing the new book, which has been OBJ
Jected to mostly on account OF the re-
bate and the exchange coupon features.
Regarding the rebate plan and the
earnings OF the passenger department
of railways, he has this to say:
The rebate plan Is adopted to prevent
the transfer of and speculation in the
tickets, The forms of mileage tickets
heretofore issued and sold at fiat rate
OF two cents per mile nave been trans
ferred andl specialized in without let
or hindrance, and therefore have been
carried into every nook and corner OF
the territory, supplanting and discount
ing the local ana legal fares Of three
cents per mile. Great loss OF revenue
has come to the Pennsylvania and other
railway lines on account of doing their
local business at the mileage rate Of
two cents per mile. The frequent re-
auctions made on various accounts, and
on account of the ne-thousand-mile
tickets heretofore issued, have brought
the average yearly passenger earnings
Of the Pennsylvania lines west OF Pitts
burgh down to two and seven-one-
hundredths cents per mile, showing no
profit whatever In the handling OF pas
senger traffic.
To obtain higher rate per mile than
two cents from the transient and lnfre-
quent patron, and to secure portion OF
the local fares authorized by law, with
view to reaching n possible profit in
the transportation OF passengers and to
assure some return to the stakeholder
for his investment, II becomes neces-
sary TO restrict the forms of thanspor-
tation In manner which will stop spec
ulatlon In tickets. Hencet he new re-
bate form of mileage ticket.
He says that the object OF the rebate
and the exchange coupon features are
to obtain proper collection and return
Of all coupons and to relieve the con-
ductor Of work that should be done by
the selling agents. He says that there
may be n big rush TO buy the tickets
during the first few days OF September,
but after the machinery Ia down
work everything willmo We of easily.
He says that the 5000 mile Photographic
book Will still be sold to those who de-
mand II at the rate OF two cents per
mile. Regarding the rebate he says;
The rebate OF $40 on new mIleag.
tickets will intercept their transfer and
thwart speculation In them. The orig
inal person who rides out his ticket, no
matter how soon viii receive his rebate
promptly and therefore must lmmedl-
atoly appreciate the net rate OF two
cents per mile. The new ticket Ia good
for exchange tickets over forty different
railroads, and this In the first Inter
changeable" ne-thousnnd-mlle ticket
which has been permitted to include the
Pennsylvania Ines, the Vandalla and
other large and important systems.

mons Fight at Wheeling Park.
Greatest interst has been aroused over
the announcement that the famous ver-
iscope pictures OF the corbett- FItzslm-
mons fight will be produced at Wheel
ing Park during fair week The pictures
are the genuine taken at the rlngslde.
It will be the first time they have been
seen here.
One OF the remarkable features con-
nected With the Veriseope pictures Is
the great interest taken In the exhibit
tIons by women. From the very first
production at the Academy OF Music In
New York. Of these pictures. the ladies'
were strongly in evidence at every eX-
addition. During the long run Of the
Verlscope In Boston, at the Boston thea
tre,n the pictures became the fad OF the
hour with society In general and the
fair sex In full evening dress were the
rage and fully 80 per cent OF the audi
ences were ladies, while the matlnees
which were given every afternoon, were
almost exclusively patroulzed by thu
fair members of the inner circles OF
Boston'B society. The reason for the
great interest. shown by the women In
these pictures Is undoubtedly because
The VeFIseope allows them the opportu-
nifty OF witnessing n clean scientific con-
test between theitwo foremost boxers Of
the world, without being subjected to
the necessity OF seeing the men actually
tuffer from the effects OF the blows, or
having to undergo any Of the little In
c9nvenonccs encountered at an actual
contest.

Wanted by tho Chicago Marine Hand for
Two Concerts.
The announcement that Wheeling
may soon have the great Chicago Ma
rlne band, which played at the Worlds
Fair, and which is at present furnishing
the music at the Nashville Exposition,
caused quite little excitement in mu-
steal circles yesterday and Saturday,
and the general verdict is that IL the
big musical organization comes, moth
ing will be too good for 1t. The idea to
have subscribers sale viii no doubt
meet with the land cit
liens. 1t will cost $1,000 to get the band
for two concerts. afternoon and evening,
and II subscribers tickets can be sold
guaranteeing this sum, the largest band
In America will come to Wheeling d.
rect from Nashville. Agents will visit
the business people this week with the
subscription list, and no money will be
collected until the Subscribers sale
takes place, which will be about one
week before the band comes. Subscrib-
ers viii have first choice OF seats and

The general committee OF the Ohio
Valley Trades and Labor Assembly
having charge of the Labor Day cele-
bratlon, met at the assembly hall yes
terday afternoon for the purpose of go
ing over the reports of the various sub
committees with a view of ascertaining
as near as possible just where they
stood financially as result of Satur-
days big affair.
President Sims called the meeting to
order at 2;SO and at once called upon
the chalrmen Of the several committees
to report Very few of them were in
n position to make final report, but an
idea was given OF how things turned
out in the way Of finances. and that
was all that was necessary. The re-
ports show that the receipts are less
than last years, and so are the cXpendi-
lures. The difference In both VIII make
the profts about the same as those nc
crulng from the 1896 celebration.
Treasurer Rnoko reported that he had
40 far received cash amounting TO
81, 1O2, 20 and said he thought there was
stlll outstanding about 5000. which Will
make the total receipts about $1,000, as
compared with 81 600 last year. The
expenses will run about $500 TO $3.50 less
than last years.

WILL WORK FOR BELIAIRE.

Capt. DanFord, Though, Doesn't Believe
the Government will Make Armor Plate.
The commission selected by the navy
department under resolution of Con-
gress to investigate the cost of making
armor plate has not yet fully deter
mined whether they have authority to
consider the question of sites for the
government to engage in the business,
writes the secretary. But, he says, the
matter will be decided upon soon and
parties interested in localities VIII be
advised Of the action.
Bellaire and Youngstown are the
only two Ohio towns that have as yet
been brought to the attention of the
commission, but there are hundreds of
other towns and cities from other
states moving in that direction. Capt.
Danford, the congressman from the
Ohio-slde district, has held all along
that the government would not go into
the manufacturing business and is still
OF that opinion, but II this commission
should recommend that that is the
thing to do and thus change the situa-
ton. he will earnestly assist In bringing
his home county town before the navy
department.
