WESTERN UNION HELD UP.
Pennsylvania Railroad Maks Exact
ing Demand of George Gould.


ing Demand of George Gould.
Philadelphia. Sept. 23.-The Enquirer
tomorrow will say:
A. j. Cassatt. president of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company, has de-
manded of George Gould the surren-
der of the Wabash Railroad system and
the Wheeling and Lake Erie at price
which viii net a profit to the Goulds
under the threat of cutting off the
whole of the Western Union Telegraph
lines from the entire Pennsylvania
Railroad system, as we'll as from the
Vanderbilt lines, which have agreed to
the deal
This is threat that means a war
greater than any that has ever taken
place in this country, and is compare.
Bile only with that of the Beech Creek
and South Pennsylvania in 1885, which
resulted in the abandonment of these
lines except as built which were swal-
lowed up by the Vanderbilts and the
Pennsylvania.
The penalty means that the Western
Union will suffer the greatest blow in
its history and will lose many of it's
profitable lines, which will be turned
over to its great rival, the Postal Tel
egraph Company.
This ultimatum means more than
any other railway deal in the history
of this country 1t is believed that the
Goulds will accede to the demand and
that the Pennsylvania will not only
add nearly 5000 concomitant miles to
its trackage, but viii also get rid of
a rival for the Carnegie steel business,
which is the largest factor in the
whole matter, resulting from a con-
tract made by Mr.. Carnegie with
the Wheeling and Lake Erie before the
United States Steel Corporation was
formed and to carry out which the
Goulds were trying to build line into
Pittsburg.

A cloudburst at the deserted min
ing camp of Ward, White Pine
county, recently, washed the dirt
from crcvice, exposing an 8-foot
vein of high-grade ore identical in
character with that which made the
camp famous and Martin White, the
discoverer, a rich man.
Two Sunset linemen, named Smith
and Goodman, had a dispute in Gold
Hill as to who should climb pole.
They came to blows and Goodman,
whose face was badly battered,
swore out warrant for the arrest
of his assailant, who was placed
under $50 bonds. Later he appeared
in court, plead guilty and was fined
$40.
Under orders from K. H. Hartman,
the regular passenger trains over
the Southern Pacific will be entirely
vestibuled within sixty days. With

has also ordered for the company
1000 flat cars, 500 stock cars, 400
forty-onc ton coal cars, 1000 thirty
ton box cars, and $50 furniture cars.
A strike of ore showing an average
gold value of $40 per ton. is reported
in Jumbo district, about one and a
half miles west of the Holman
ground. The vein is said to show
a length of 500 feet or more from the
surface Groupings. If the vein should
maintain as high an average value
at depth as on the surface, it will re-
suit in revival of the mining in

FURTHER DEVELOPMENT
Three Tramps Arrested on Suspicion Of
Lowell Bank Robbery.

The attempted Lowell bank robbery,
which was reported in Wednesday
mornings Leader, created much excite
ment in that village and created no
slight stir of speculation in this city,.
The details of the affair as given to the
reading public soon after the occur
renee are substantially correct, but
there have been subsequent develop
ments.
The Marietta police department was
notified of the occurrence and officers
Coffman, Goerlitz and Kerns were de
tailed to look after the case. They
went to Lowell on the early morning
train, made an examination of the
building and got what description they
could gather of the burglars. Officer
Coffman went to Beverly on the train
and his two companions remained in
Lowell. When near Equity school
house, three men were observed at a
fire near the tracks The train was
SIOpptu anu OluItl SOhuldh
the men. The men were taken to
Beverly and then brought back to this
city, reaching here on the 10:40 o. &
L. K. train in the custody of the three
policemen. When searched nothing
of an incriminating nature was found
upon the men. They gave their names
as F. o. Anker. Geo. Elswick and
Geo. Palmer. They are in Jail in this
city awaiting a preliminary hearing.
Two we'll dressed men were observed
by people living near Rainbow about
5 o'clock last night. They stopped at
the home of Mr.. Henry Pape to get
their supper but were sent on to the
house of Mr.. Lyman Doan, where they
purchased their supper. They acted
suspicious and gave rise to comments
on their action among the people with
whom they came in contact.
Mr.. Henry Pape, who was talking to
the men, says that they were wei
dressed, wore dark overcoats and car
ried two bundles about two feet long
and wrapped in newspapers. He feels
sure he could recognize them should
he see them again.
The hand car which the men took
to escape with was heard coming to-
wards Marietta by Mr.. Let Stacy
about three o'clock Wednesday morn
ing.
There seems to be no clue to the two
men and unless case is proven
against the tramps now in Jail the per-
petrators will probably not be discov-
cred.
