Chicago are arranging to stop the use
of steam at the city limits and haul
their trains to the stations by electricity,
after the manner adopted by the Balti-

popular one, and cannot be too quickly
adopted in all cities touched by rail-

THE GREAT RAILROAD DEAL,

Evidences are accommodating that the
gigantic Western railroad deal is an
accomplished fact, with total Of stock
and bonds approximating two thousand
millions, thus far out-classing the bill
lion-dollar steel trust and constitut-
ing the most gigantic combination Of
capital the world has ever seen. The
combination is believed to be made
up of the st. Paul, Burlington, Chi
cago and Northwestern, Great North
ern, Northern Pacific, Wisconsin Cen
trail, Union Pacific and Southern Paci-
fic, covering about nineteen thousand
miles of road in the aggregate. 1t is
said St Paul will be taken over by the
Union Pacific at the October meeting,
on basis of 5000 of per cent. bonds
for every 800 of stock, and that the
bonds will be guaranteed by the Union
Pacific, the Southern Pacific and the
Missouri Pacific and the Goulds, who
are said to be parties to the transac-
tion
Certain large stockholders of the ST.
Paul, it is said, have sold or agreed
to sell stock amounting to about $685.
100000, par value. Peter Geddes is
said to be directly concerned in this
deal along with James Henry Smith
and WilliaE Rockefeller. all of whom
are directors. The deal will be financed
at the eastern end by the National City
Bank of New York.
This combination of gigantic inter-
ests will completely control the freight
and passenger transportation of the
west. with the exception of few scat
tered short lines, but as they are gen.
orally operating under contracts or
agreements of some form or other
with the big fellows" it practically
amounts to monopoly Of the bust
ness, and as soon as the details are
completed the public may expect q re-
vision Of rates and some stiff advances,
after the usual methods Of these great
ecnbinations. No public benent car

There are indications that deserved
legal trouble will come to the public
officials, from Mayor Ashbridge down,
who so outrageously robbed the peO-
pie of Philadelphia of franchises worth
many millions, without compensation
to the city. Citizens of prominence
and wealth are moving to have the
courts set aside the entire matter, and
public opinion will applaud such an
effort. In his own defense Mayor Ash
bridge says he knew nothing of the
offer of two millions and a half by
John Wanamaker, before he signed the
ordinances. He says a man brought
from Albert l.. Johnson, local street
car man, and that he threw it on the
floor He adds, however, "it could not
have made any difference had 1 known
of the offer" This is doubtless true.
The Mayor knew the part he was to
play, and no possible offer of cash
could have changed his course, as is
shown by telegram to the New York
Herald.
The Herald correspondent says:
when it became known that Mayor
Ashbridge had defied what little public
sentiment exists here and declining to
serve the interests of the city, had signed
away the streets for absolutely nothing,
the promoters of the thirteen companies
received an offer of $4,000 600 for their
rights. That was just twice as much as
was offered the city yesterday for the
franchises, the offer having been scorned
by the Mayor. But the s., 900, 900 was not
enough. When it was refused another S.
100000 was added to the offer, and the
franchise grabbers merely Rugged their
new possessions the tighter"
AS matter of fact, the Philadelphia
franchises thus granted are conserva-
lively estimated to be worth anywhere
from three to four million dollars per
year Albert L. Johnson offered that
much, with guarantee that he would
give three-cent fares and free transfers.
He saw big profit in that offer. I'm
agine, then, the net results of the re-
cent steal, with five-cent fares and no
transfers. The more the Philadelphia
steal is contemplated the more regret
Wheeling people can show for the cleo
trio light franchise grab of two years
ago, with which infamy the names of
quite a number of people will be for
ever linked to their discredit.

The contemptuous refusal Of Mayor
,Ashbridge, of Philadelphia, to even con-
slider John lWanamaker's offer OF two
millions and half for the recently
passed street railway franchises has at
least served one good purpose in at
tracing the attention OF the country
anew to the political rottenness OF the
sometime Quaker city.

EXPRESS CARS on TROLLEY ROADS.


EXPRESS CARS On TROLLEY ROADS.
Some time ago the Register discuss
ed the feasibility of city and suburban
trolley roads running express cars for
the transportation of light freight and
packages, and pointed out that such a
service would not only be a great public
convenience because of frequent and
prompt service and small charges, but
would be a source of considerable ad-
ditional revenue to the corporations
holding franchises We have such a
service, of very considerable utility, in
the baggage compartments of the
Wheeling and Elm Grove cars, and, to
a lesser extent, necessarily, on the pas
senger cars of the Wheeling Traction
Company.
The idea has been taken up serious
ly by the Metropolitan Street Railway
Company, of New York, ana express
cars, have been arranged fof on its
extensive lines. These cars will carry
no passengers, but will stop for freight
at certain designated points or upon
signal The service will be inaugurated
this week. and is expected to be sue
cessful from the start There is great
demand in modern cities and their sub
urban towns for the quick and safe
delivery of light articles, from mar
ket-baskets to trunks and barrels and
boxes, and the trolley lines can do the
work with great satisfaction in the
territory they cover. The idea will
it is safe to say, be generally adopted
within very short time.

THE SEWAGE QUESTION.

The pollution of streams from which
tens and hundreds of thousands of peo-
pie obtain their potable water supply
by the sewage of cities is coming to
be question which this country will
soon have to consider seriously, and
seek out and provide remedy. The
problem now confronts number of the
cities of Connecticut, and millions OF
dollars must he expended to afford that
relief that is indispensable If the pub
lie health is to be regarded. OF late,
in that State, number of cases have
been carried into court embodying COM
plants against the nuisance of sew
age from municipalities, and heavy
damages have been awarded. Many ad-
ditional actions of this sort are in pros
pect, and the cities must act in self de-
Tense to provide remedy, most prob
ably by the establishment Of sew
filtration beds, where solids may be de-
posted and utilized as fertilizers, and
the liquids distilled and thoroughly sep
arated from impurities run into the
streams as aqua pura.
The day is coming when this prob
lem will have to be met in the upper
Ohio valley. Here, as in many other
localities, the population is steadily in
creasing with corresponding growth in
the amount of sewage drained into
the rivers. The more sewage the more
consumers of the contaminated water,
and the more consumption the more
contamination. Obviously there must
come a time when either contemplation
must cease or some other water supply
found. The great trouble is the almost
universal belief that running streams
are natural sewers, into which every
thing should be dumped. That works
fairly well for the resident at or near
the fountain head, but how about his
neighbor below? The coming man
with an advanced intelligence, will de-
cline to allow sewage of any descrip-
ton to run into rivers or other streams
from which water supplies are taken
ibut such refuse will be disposed of upon
scientific lines, and at profit at that

A REMARKABLE SCENE.


Wilkesbarre, Pa, May lied by
100 white-gowned girls, each crowned
with an evergreen wreath and mar
shaled by a dozen visiting priests,
the entire congregation Of the Holy
Saviour Roman Catholic church
marched up the hill to the edifice at
dusk Sunday, and there took the
pledge Of total abstinence. This
marks the elimination Of the work
Of Rev. Father ]. J. Curran, the pas
tor, who is president Of the Catholic
Temperance union Of the Scranton
diocese. After the girls came the
boys Of the congregation, in uniform,
and all carrying canes. Then came
the men and women, all wearing uni
form hats. With songs they marched
into the church, and there, beginning
with the girls, took the oath. 1t was
administered by Father Curran to
groups Of 100, all that could stand in
the space about the altar. Each and
every one of the 1853 persons swore
TO neither taste, touch nor serve
wine or spirituous liquors during his
or her lifetime.
