AFTER THE CONVENTION.


The Commercial Club has been for some
time preparing the way for an effort to Sc
cure for Indianapolis the 1901 convention of
the National Association of Manufacturers.
The following letter from one who knows
the situation shows that there is going to
be quite fight:
at think there are going to be quite a
number of bids for the 1901 convention of
the National Association of Manufacture
ers. Buffalo Is getting ready TO make a
very stiff fight, as the Pan-American Ex-
position will be in session in Buffalo next
year, and they are trying to land all the
annual conventions for their city. So far
as 1 know they are the most eager of any
body TO get the convention. Detroit,
think, will also be after it strongly. They
wanted this years convention, but accord
ing to my recollection, they withdrew in
favor of Boston. Pittsburg is just get
ting walked up. and from letter received
from Mr.. II. j. Heinz the pickle man, ]
Judge that Mr.. Heinz, at least. will work
very hard to get the association to go to
Pittsburg and probably he will start quite a
strong movement in this city. Any city that
wants to get the convention will have to
send a good, strong delegation to Boston
and do some active work.

HEARD At THE HOTELS
w. A. CULLoP, OF vINcENNEs, TALKS
OF A NEW RAILROAD.
Work on n Part of the Black Dia-
mond Line to BE Begun Soon
Corridor Gossip.

W. A. Cullop a prominent Democrat of
Fincennes, and one of the directors of the
Black Diamond Line of railroad. is at the
English Hotel, and says that all arrange
ments have been made for the building of
the Vincennes, Louisville G. Vevay division
of the line this year. He says those who
think the Black Diamond Line is dead are
much mistaken. as $685. 900 of the s56.OOo.-
600 required TO complete the line has been
subscribed and placed on deposit with the
treasurer in the Bank of England. With
this sum active work will be begun at once,
with the understanding that when needed
the balance Of the money will be raised by
the issue of bonds, which have been ar
ranged for already. He says the s26.00O,0 600
is not in the shape of promises, but in hard
cash, on which the company is now paying
taxes. In indicating the financial strength
of those interested In the company. he said
one of the governors of the Bank of Eng
charge of the funds of the company. Mr..
Cullop says the specifications call for a
double track for the entire distance, but
that, for the present, only one track will
be laid, although the grading will be done
for double track. He says the inten-
ton is to extend the road from Vincennes
north to the Dakota grain fields and south
ward from Louisville to Port Royal, S. C.
He says ii is desirable to build the road
from Vincennes to Louisville at present, be-
cause nearly every foot of track will be
over immense deposits of camel coal, very
little of which is mined at present Mr.
Cuilop, who is assistant general counsel
for the entire system and principal coun-
sci for the Indiana line, says it is intended
to construct the line in the different States
as separate roads and have them incorpor-
ated as such. In this State Edward Wat
son, or Vincennes, is the president. AL
though there has been no formal announce
nent of the intention of the projectors to
build the road, Mr.. Cullop says there are
already three construction companies figur-
ing on the work.
Mr.. Cullop is also interested in the pro-
posed Vincennes, Oakland City & Owens
boro Railroad, which was chartered sew
eral years ago. He says active work on
the construction of this line will begin
this summer with view to completing it
this year.
Mr.. Cullop says the election of Parks NJ
Martin as State chairman of the Demo-
chairmen from the First, Second, Third,
Fourth, Fifth, Eleventh and Thirteenth dis
tricts will vote for him in a body.
He says Representative Maitland Clay
comb will not again be a candidate for the
Legislature and that III. c. Chancellor, edi-
tor of the Bicknell Beacon; Louis Holman.
a farmer of Harrison township; DR.. J. l..
Reeve, of Edwardsport, and James s. Prit-
chett, lawyer of sincennes, are spoken
of as candidates to succeed him.
He says the people of Vincennes have
built more new houses during the last
year than those of any other city in the
being over 500 erected inside the city linn
it's.

Commissioner General +. w. Peck, of the
United States commission. has received
cable from Paris stating that the customs
laws OF France imposing a high duty upon
printed matter to be circulated at the Paris
Exposition of 1900 for advertising purposes
has been repealed by the French govern
ment. These laws were prohibitive of an
important and valuable adjunct of exposi-
ton work. unless exhibitors had their print
ing done in France, which was found inn
practicable. Commissioner General Peck
has been seeking for several months TO re-
lieve the exhibitors of the United States
OF this heavy tax, and in his efforts he
has been assisted by the secretary of state
at Washington and Ambassador Porter, at
Paris. 1t seemed until the last few days,
as though the effort would be resisted by
the French authorities, and many exhib-
itors had abandoned the idea of preparing
catalogues, price lists and advertising mat
ter generally. Some had concluded not to
exhibit at ALL Under the recent action of
the French government all printed matter
advertising exhibits from the United States
will be admitted free.

FIFTY-NINE CASES.
December Record of Smallpox In Po-
sey County.

The State Board Of Health has received
a report Of the smallpox which has been
raging in Posey county. The report is for
the month of December, and shows the
total number of cases to have been fifty
nine. The youngest person having the dis
ease was sixteen months old and the old
est was over seventy years of age, which
does away with the popular superstition
that only people of certain age are liable
to be smitten with the disease. OF the
fifty-nine cases only four were white, the
other fifty-five being negroes. A strange
feature of the report is that not single
fatality is reported. The reasons alleged
for this are that the disease is of very
mild form, and in addition patients have
been given the very best of attention.
The report further states that not one
of the patients had ever been successfully
vaccinated. The three original cases of
smallpox responsible for this epidemic
came from Uniontown. KY, where the dis
ease still RACES in epidemic form. the town
being under quarantine.

VIII Ask for More Money.

p. t. Mcconnell, a prominent merchant of
Clay City, is at the Grand and says busi-
ness in his city is better than it has been
for years. Most of the trade in Clay City
is with the miners, who, Mr.. Mcconnell
says are preparing to ask for substantial
increase in wages. He says the coal COM
panies recently raised the price of coal from
$3.50 to 81 a ton to Clay City consumers, and
as IT was understood that similar increases
were being made all over the country, the
miners thought they ought to be given the
benefit of a part of ii, at least.

He Is Candidate for Democratic
State Chairman.
Jerome Herff. of Peru. is candidate for
the Democratic state craftsmanship and so
announced himself in the Grand Hotel yes
terday, as follows: az want to define my
true position in this matter. / have been
assured Of the solid support of my dis
trict, where my friends insist that I run
for the craftsmanship. Aside from this,
have received assurances from many parts
OF the State that 1 will be given volun-
tary support. will not take part in any
scramble for the Office and will not do
anything to promote fractional fights and
discord in the party. If my friends are
strong enough to elect me and feel that
l am able to fill the position. l will take
IL. In matters like these sectional fac
tional feeling should cut no figure and
even personal friendships ought to be
subordnated to the good of the party.
That is why / do not feel like making
any fight for the place. There is no talk
in our district of congressional candidates,
as the district Is strongly Republican
that the nomination really means moth
ing"
In discussing the gas question Mr.. Herff
said: I'VE generally have all the gas we
need until Ii gets very cold, and then the
supply always fails. During the recent cold
period there was a general shortage in
Peru"
