RETURN, THE RULE.
Second EnsaEomont Of tho Fish

Second Engagement of tho Fight
Pictures is General Request.
After closing the return engagement
at the Avenue theatre in Pittsburgh to-
night, the paraphernalla for the JEFF
frles-Fitzslmmons fight viii be shipped
to Wheeling for the return engagement
at Mozart park tomorrow. No greater
evidence of the popularity and worth
of the cinemotograph pictures could be
shown than in the fact That return en-
gagements are the rule. They come to
Wheeling by special request and other
cities are clamoring for a second. and,
in some instances, a third appearance.
Nearly every male blped. from the
cradle to the grave was interested in
the championship fight between Jeffries
and FitzsImmons, and II was only a
small proportion attending the Tight,
consequently the others want TO know
"how It was" The pictures tell every
move, every blow and incident OF the
great fistic battle. Referee George ST.

Time Drawing Near.

Says the Cleveland Leader:
The time is drawing near when the
wheeling & Lake Erie shall absorb the
Cleveland, Canton 8 Southern and the
offices be moved to this city. Indeed, 1t
is expected now that the LIST of septem-
Der will see the transfer made and I'LL
OF the offices running in good shape.
There are a few things that are pure
ly matters OF detail yet to be done, but
these can be accomplished within the
month. The court must be petitioned
for an order releasing the property OF
the Cleveland q Canton from the
courts, and ordering the master COM
missioner to turn II over To Its new
owners. It is thought that the petition
for this will be filed within the next
few days Then the proper papers will
be filed with the secretary Of state ut
Columbus changing the capital stock OF
the Wheeling q Lake Erie to suit the
new state OF affairs. Then the matters
of claims will have to be settled. There
are n good many claims pending that
will have TO be met hy the Wheeling be-
fore It can take full control of the
Cleveland, Canton & Southern. The
road will be able TO do this. for II has
taken the obligation Of the debts on It's
own shoulders and has arranged In Its
scheme Of reorganization for money
enough TO take care OF all these oblign-
lions.
THE operation Of these combined
roads is now receiving a good deal OF
attention. II has been learned that the
officers ~ the two roads viii be practice

over the Wheeling & Lake Erie, II. J..

Mr.. F. C. a. schwertfeger, who, with
Mr.. H. C. Meyer, has been circulating
the petition In the business district,
asking the chamber Of commerce on
clalS to call meeting of that body and
business men generally, at which to ar
range for Merchants Day in connec-
tion with the coming state fair, yester-
day afternoon called on President HUI
Iihen Quarter. Of the chamber, and
their conference resulted in Mr.. Quar-
rier eonsenting to issue the desired call
for next Tuesday evening, August s.
at s o'clock, in the rooms of the cham
Der OF commerce. Hub building. The
call for the meeting will be sent out on
Monday.
AT this meeting 1t is hoped that a
large and representative attendance
may be had. There is not overmuch
time in which to make arrangements on
scale that will attract the desired
large number Of retailers from the tri-
state radius, but a long pull and a
strong pull and pull altogether is all
that Is necessary to make the coming
Merchants Day at the fair a record
breaker in attendance.
The suggestion of Mr. Quarter that
the Merchants Day afternoon attrac-
tion be a match race between John R.
Gentry and Star Pointer or Joe
Patchen, mention of which was made
in yesterdays Intelligencer, was re-
eeIved enthusiastically yesterday. and
doubtless the Merchants Day commit
tees in conjunction with the state fair
management will arrange for this de-
sirable feature. Secretary George Hook.
of the fair association, when seen by
an Intelllgencer man, said that such
race is entirely feasible; that two Of the
three "Klngs of the Turf car, be Sc
cured at a figure within the reach Of the
committee. and he agrees with Mr..
Quarter that race of this kind would
make Merchants Day at the fair the
day of the week.

Eastern Passenger Rates.

At present eastern passenger rates
are in a bad condition. The Chicago
st. Paul roads are held responsible for
the trouble. Most Of the eastern men
accuse the western roads OF providing
ticket brokers In the east with the re-
turn coupon portions OF excursion tick
cts, the sale OF which they claim not to
be able to keep pace with. The Central
passenger association roads are worry
Ing over the condition OF affairs, and Il
ls said that they will endeavor to ar
range matters so that the roads that
are charged with being responsible for
the demoraliZed state will be'made ia
stand n part. II not all, OF the losses
sustained by the eastern roads, The
chlcago-St. Paul roads laugh at the
accusations. They claim that their in
terests lie only in the business between
this city and st. Paul.

THE RAILROADS.

Three surveying corps have been
started out by the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad Company. under the direction
of Chief Engineer W. T. Manning, OF
the Pittsburgh & Akron. The survey
will probably require six months to
complete, and then extensive improve
ments, costing several million dollars
are contemplated. 1t is the intention to
bring the standard. of the Pittsburgh &
Western up to that of the recently Inn
proved Baltimore & Ohio. and place it
in a position to more successfully COM
pete with other lines to the lakes.

and sentiment. Loeb Lynn Heights was
projected by Major ]. c. Anderson five
years ago this summer, and the project
was opposed to considerable extent
at first by people interested In the sister
resort, but this feeling has decreased
almost to minus quantity, since there
Is no real opposition between them.
Loeb Lynn catered to more liberal
range OF amusements than Mountain
Lake, hence Its clientele diners In some
respects. For Instance, dancing ls not
permitted within the confines OF the lat
ter resort, and It's "Puritanical regula-
TONS" as those not In love with the
place were wont to term lts rules, were
not congenial to society people fond OF
this social diversion, while they did Ike

lights and recreatiVe forces.
So when Loeb Lynn Heights was
launched 1t filled an expressed yearn-
ing. Its hotel is the mecca for fashion
and talent from many states, and Is
becoming to be known as an ideal spot
for rest and enjoyment. The company
originally laying out Loeb Lynn into
lots met with many viclssltudes. but the
storm has been weathered. The hard
times following IT'S birth are gone, and
the future Is particularly glowing Ma

DEATH IN FIRETHAPs.
Why Should Not the Owners lie Held
Liable for Damages.

tllltdSO SHlOlINl#-
When a man meets his death in a railroad
car or a steamboat through the negligence
actual or constructive-Of the transportation
company's officers or employees his surviving
relatives may recover damages. 1t is held
that ordinary care and intelligence must be
exercised in providing for the safety of pas
sengers. Why should not the same rule APP
ply in the case of persons who lose their
lives in fretrap apartment buildings? The
transportation companies have all manner
of contingencies to guard against. The
owner of a tenement has but one-fTe. IT,.
then, in order to save a few dollars. he i'm
perils the lives Of his tenants, why should
he not be mulcted in damages when his
greed results in loss of life or personal in
jury? 1t is evident that such punishment
is the only means of reaching reckless land
lords. The criminal statutes cannot be in
voked. Let the civil process be utilized.
One good, swinging verdict against a fire
trap landlord would do more to improve the
character of Chicago tenements than all the
building ordinances that could be devised.

France and Brazil are just now en-.

the United States into 1t over the bound.
airy between Franch Guiana and Brazil
and it is not dissimilar to the troubles
between Great Britain and Venezuela.
The claim of France is resisted by
Brazil, whose government insists that
the whole thing is an effort to acquire
more territory on the continent, and in
dications are not wanting that an appeal
will be made to this country to invoke
the Monroe doctrine. Like the Nene-
zucla boundary question, this one is so
colored by historical and other ancient
considerations that it is quite impossi-
bic to discover at this time the jus
tice of either contention. Brazil is ready
TO submit the matter to arbitration and
there seems no reason why it should
not be settled amicably and satisfac-
torily in that way.
