Pittsburg Post.
The beautiful shade trees along the south
side OF the main line OF the Indianapolis
division OF the Panhandle, between Column
but and Indianapolis. planted under the d.
rection OF J. f. Miller years ago, are still
standing in good shape. For 1ss miles II Is
a continuous stretch of green trees, flower
beds and attractive scenery. The bitches
are nicely lined Off with sod embellishments
IN cuts. and the tracks are as nearly perfect
as IL Is possible TO get them. Woven wire
fences have been erected all along the line
to keep cattle of the track. and there are
many other improvements. The line from
Richmond TO Dayton is being improved
greatly and will soon be one OF the finest
roadbeds in the country. Between Rich
mond and Indianapolis they are making
many improvements, and between Rich
mond ard Dayton double track grading and
new bridges are being built on both lines.
Near New Paris the company is grading
doubie-track steel bridge is almost ready
TO be placed in position at a point near
Brookviile- This division OF the road passes
over a rolling country, with numerous
swelis, and down the grades from the sum-
mits to the opposing declivities the fast ex-
press trains. when making up lost time,
complish wonders daily in the way of
speed. IL this division tries the rock bal
last, the heavy rails and the Class l. en-
gines with S0-inch driving wheels no sched-
ule would be too fast and IL will certainly
be a marvellous piece OF track, even for the
Pennsylvania system.

Wool.

BOSTON. Sept. S:-The American Wool and
Cotton Reporter Will say tomorrow: The trade,
as whole, reports quiet market during the
past week. but few houses have contaminated
some good sized deals and as a result the total
sales Of the week aggregate a large total, one
house alone disposing of about 2.O00. 900 lbs Of
WOOL comprising 100000 lbs OF Montana. Most
houses report a small business but there is no
diminution in the strength previously shown,
and woods continue to be stifly held. generally at
top figures. Manufacturers, IL appears, have
been testing the market for all it is worth and
are doubtless satisfied that they have had q
strong market to butt against. All cheap woods
are practically eliminated and old, notify woods
have been pretty well cleaned up and gone into
consumption, so that the markets present a clean
stock at a pricie which is low to-day, compared
with that OF other countries, particularly on fine
woods. There has been considerable looking
around on the part of manufacturers. and lots of
sample bags have been taken, which, it is be-
lieved, Will lead to good business in the course
Of a week or two. Manufacturers are buying only
such woods as they need, however, and little
speculative tendency is noticeable In the market
to-day The sales Of the week In Boston amount
to 800 lbs domestic and $4,000 lbs foreign.
making total of $780, 500 lbs, against a total of
$3.50 600 lbs for the previous week. and total of
$500 lbs for the corresponding week last year
Sales since Jan. l. 1S99 amount to 1871 81 500 lbs
against 7s.SO4olO lbs last year at this time.

Old Acquaintance Tells

An Evening Of Interesting
Speeches.

The Lincoln club last evening held a
largely attended and most enthusiastic
rally in support of Hon. Amos D.. Allen,
Republican candidate for Congress- The
rooms were crowded with leading and
active Republicans, and many enthusiast
t'o7spseohesEwere made. Among7the speak

Mr. Allen, and they testified warmly
to his abilities and worth.
When Mr.Allen arrived he was received
with Three cheers, and escorted to seat
at TIE cad of the hall reserved for the
speakers. President Harry 4. Virgin
next called the club to order. He said
that the time was fast approaching when
the Republicans of the First Maine dig
trict would have to elect succf ssor to
Thomas B. Reed, who so long had rerrs
