RAILROAD ROUTE FIXED.
Will Be a Switch Back at Shepherds
Crook and Seven Mile Wind at
NUauD,ort

Will BE q switch Back at Snepneru
Crook and Seven Mile Wind at
Waymart.
1t was given out yesterday afternoon
by those who claim to have been in
formed on high authority that the
railroad route between this city and
Honesdale has been fixed to better
meet the requirements of the new form
of motive power.
At Shepherds Crook a switch-ba
will be constructed and from Farview
the road will take a southeasterly
course and wind down the mountain
side to Waymart. The distance from
Farview to Waymart is less than two
miles, but the new track between
these points will be seven miles long,
in order to get easy grade.
Local owners of the prospective brick
industry to be established below Way
mart are much elated over the fact
that the road will run near their lands.
Whether this means an abandon
ment of the tunnel project cannot be
said. The engineers figures regard
ing the underground road have been
considered by the officials.

Louisville Courier Journal: The boom
In the Iron and steel market, which Is
at the foundation Of the present indus
trial prosperity, has reached period
that may be regarded as critical. Prices
have shown remarkable advances for
several months and. on an average, are
30 rer cent higher for pig iron than a
year ago; e6 20 per cent higher on
steel bfllets, 80 per cent, on steel rails.
and SO on. The scarcity of material for
Immediate delivery is 20 great us to APP
proach a famine, and while this de-
mand Is relatively small. It Is SO urgent
that'it makes further advances very
probable. On the other hand: It Is the
usual thing for prices not TO be pushed
to their highest point about the time
when the summer conferences between
operators and employees are held. Wages
have been advanced IN oil directions,
especially during the last month, but 1t
IS hardly likely that manufacturers
will tempt demands for further con-
cessions at present. Production has also
been greatly stimulated, and d large
number Of new plants are goon to be In
operation. A few days ago II was an
bounced that six blast furnaces would
be opened In the Birmingham district.
The great steel plant at Lorain, o., will
also be opened In June, and Its output
Will do much to relieve the drain upon
the market. III
In View Of these considerations 1t Is
not surprising that the last number OF
the Iron Age. in It's summary of the
market, should have the following Sig
niiicant paragraph:
still, after all. this does not touch
the burning question at what prices
new contracts will be made to replace
those expiring in the second and third
quarters. At wha, level will buyers be
forced o.take hold again? There are
number OF well authenticated cases in
which purchases for the second half
have been made at prices pretty close
to those now ruling. But It is fact
that many buyers are Inclined to await
developments. This involves one great
risk, and that Is that no disturbances
occur In any one OF the chain OF links
from the ore and fuel In the ground to
the finished material It must not be
forgotten that there is a tremendous
strain upon the facilities for mining,
transportation and the different stages
Of fabrication. Let anything occur to
cause trouble, delay or suspension and
the whole industry Is disorganlzed. The
weather during the last month furnish
ed good illustrat ion,of this. although
1t would be ordinarily very ua!m-
portant factor"
or course. IL anything should happen
to check production, there would be no
early limit to the advance In prices. But
It Is not safe to reckon upon such
contingency as this. II It Is true that

In the executive department to also In

OF queries from other employees. The

: holds that the law does NOT apply TO

1t apply to letter carriers. because stat

Disfranchfse Negroes.
MONTGOMERY. Ala. March 29.-The
Democrats Of Alabama met here to-
day to name delegates from the state
at large to the constitutional conyen-
ton to be held next August The ac-
ton late last night, in refusing to the
Populists the number OF delegates pro-
portionate to the number OF state SEN
ators, seven, gave the Democrats q
clear field. Their plan is to submit the
constitution which they have prepared
TO the people for ratification. The Re-
publican opposition is not very strong,
and although they have decided TO
formulate at the meeting here Satur-
day. the Democrats claim 1t can have
no effect. The illiterate white farmers
are to be provided for by an amend
ment providing that where one cannot
read nor write he shall be allowed to
vote II he pays taxes on rs much as
$500 worth of,pr0perty. This would give
practically every white man the right
to vote and eliminate only the illiterate
negro Of the farming belt. The convel-
ton met at noon and was called to or
der by eX-Congressman Il. H. benson,
temporary chairman. DR.. C. B. Crow,
chairman OF the Populist state commit
tee. who has given up all idea OF any
effective work in the convention, says
preparations are being made BY his
party to conduct most aggressive
campaign In Alabama, Georgia. Mlssis-
sippl and Tennessee next year. with
hopes OF carrying two or all Of them.
He says that the platform Of the party
adopted last September In Cincinnati
will be endorsed by the Popullsts OF this
state as well as the other states named,
and the ticket OF Wharton Barker and
1gnatius Donnelly will be brought out
strongly. -.s.,r

MERIT NOT IN DOUBT
Wonderful Results Obtained Here
in Wheeling.
Another Citizen Who Adds Her
Testimony to What has
Been Said,

There is no doubt whatever as to the
merits of Morrow's Kid-ne-oids. Judging
from the wonderful results obtained
right here in Wheeling. Morrow's
Kid-ne-oids are used daily by hundreds
Of Wheeling people and they all testify

disorders and diseases arising from
q disordered condition Of the Kidneys.
Another citizen adds her testimony as
follows:
Mrs. 3. Gartner resiGing at $50 Six

suffered for long time with disordcred
kidneys. At times the pain across the
small OF my back would be extremely
severe and would extend through my
sides and stomach. making me very
sick. I grew very nervous and could
not rest well at night. Sometimes
would awake with q start and then 1t
would be hours before could get to
sleep again, and in the morning when
would get up would feel completely
worn out. 1t seemed that nothing I
could get would do or give me relief.
and when I saw Morrow's Kid-ne-oids
advertised decided to give them trial.

during the memorable period OF pros

year, beginning In May 1879. and end
Ing In May, 1880 The railroad compan-
les 6tarted the excitement b. heavy
purchases that caused scramble
among the mills to secure the raw
material. Iron rails at Pennsylvania

cember, 1879, were s5i. and IN Febru-
airy next were SOS. then declining to

advance OF dollar or two ton, the
remainder OF the year and through 1881.
Steel rails were sil In .Ianuart, 1873. and
advanced to sS5 IN February, 1850, but
declined TO S5S In December. and then
remained steady with Iron rails through
1881. Bcsscmer pig Iron at Pittsburgh

this case, however, production was not
