P. R. R. TUNNEL FRANCHISE,
Public Hearing on. Application Held
In New York-Speeches For
and Against.

New York, Oct. 3.-There was a
large attendance at the public hear
ing Of the Pennsylvania railroad tun-
mel franchise yesterday. Among thos7
present were President William H.
Baldwin, Of the Long Island railroad;
John P. Green, first vice president OF
the Pennsylvania railroad; Aldermen
James Beck and Goodman. John D.
Crimmins ard L. ]. Callahan.
A protest against the granting ct
the franchise was read by Adolph
Bloch, a lawyer, representing the
owner Of &c houses on the south side
Of Thirty-frst street, between Eighth
and Ninth avenues.
S. B. Donnelly, Of the Central Fed
Grated union, was the first speaker.
He began by saying that labor's de-
mands, as far as the franchise was
concerned. were not exorbitant. They
merely asked, he said for a minimum
rate Of pay for the workers employed,
the recognition Of the eight-hour law
and the employment Of citizens. The
tunnel would be an excellent thing for
the Long Island and Pennsylvania
railroads, he continued, and for the
people generally, but he argued that
that was no reason why what the Ia
borers asked regarding the construc'
ton Of the work should not be granted.
Abram S. Hewitt read resolutions
passed by the chamber CT commerce,
at it's meeting yesterday, favoring the
tunnel. They were in effect that the
building Of the tunnel would mean
the expenditure by the railroad com
pany of s5O,OOO,OoJ during period
Of many years and that the demands
of organized labor could not be
legally complied with, and that In
sistence would mean the prevention
Of the improvement.
Others spoke for and against grant
ing the franchises.

cREAToRE
THE WONDER OF THE MUSIC
WORLD.

"He does no, lead his band. He
cajoles. pleads, begs, cries, entreatS, com.
mands, urges, inspires and drives himself
and his men into musical frenzy that is
almos, pathological. But the man is no
charlatan nor cheater. All that he does
he does unconsciously and because he feels
it. Today he is town talk.
In these words are given truthful and
graphic description in action Of Creatore
pronounced Kray-a-to-ray) the Italian
bandmaster who has set all New York
music mad, and will appear at the New
Exposition, Piusburg, from Wednesday,
September ~, until Saturday, October 4,
inclusive.
Creatore, is a wonder, a very musical,
whirIwind and cyclone, absolutely the
most startling personality the band world
has any record Of He conducts a band of
fifty players, and produces effects so sensa-
tional, and climaxes of such volcanic
power that the listener is electrified, in
Voluntarily clutches his seat, and simply is
forced to sit up" At first hearing one
is inclined to ridicule and belittle
Creatore's violent mannerisms, but little by
little the terrific earnestness and superior
musicianship Of the man assert themselves,
the scofer Of moment before becomes the
most devoted of admirers and hangs
breathlessIy upon every move of the man
who is hypnotizing his players into
breathing" the music into which he is
throwing the vigor and temperament of
dozen men.
The New Exposition management has
not aoce?ted Creatore upon heresay, but
has had its own representatives hear and
Gee him under varying conditions, and for
that reason asserts with confidence that he
will take his audience absolutely by storm.
suburbanites will regret it all their
lives if they fail to hear this marvellous
man and his band, not once only, but re-
nratrdlv. For their convenience all rail-
Toads leading into Pittsburg have made
generations to handle with ease enormous
crowds of excursionists at the one-fare rate.
while the New Exposition music is Its
GREAT attraction, the high excellence of the
S;snIuys and special features must not be
ovsTIooked. OF exhibitors there are forty
t,ro more than last year, and the excellent
character of their exhibits, notably in
Mechanical hall, have been the talk OF
the town"

debauches the husband, the father

AFTERMATH OF LABOR DAY.
Large Number Of Cases Heard in Po
lice Court.


Yesterday morning showed that La
Dor Day had proved record breaker
for the number of police arrests. All
the outside precincts had full houses,
and when Magistrate Howe arrived at
the central station yesterday morning
to hold court he was informed that this
station and the Center street lookup
had disgorged no less than eighteen
rueful looking individuals who awaited
sentence.
Magistrate Howe allowed two of the
cases, those of Pierce Cleary and Hem
ry Klossman, to go over until the after
noon but summarily disposed of all the
others. Cleary is the man who was
arrested in Nay Aug park Monday af-
ternoon on warrant charging him
with indecent conduct. He was given
a private hearing at o'clock and held
in $500 bail and fined SIS. Numerous
complaints had been made that Cleary
had insulted young women at the park,
and at the hearing his conduct was
proved to have been outrageous and
disgusting. The case was appealed by
Cleary's counsel Attorney Frank Boyle.
Henry Klossman of Dunmore, is the
young man who was arrested by Park
Patrolman William Callahan for reck-
less driving, and who only submitted to
arrest after first throwing Callahan out
of the buggy. He was fined $40 yester-
day.
The other arrests consisted of a mis-
cellaneous collection of drunks and dis
orderlies. two women being included in
the number. John Block, the Hunga-
rian arrested for fighting by Patrolman
McHale was fined S.. A large knife
was taken from Block by the patrol
man, and the additional assistance Sc
cured of Patrolman Weber, before
Block and the companion arrested with
him would act tractably.

A Point to Insist On.

There are endless numbers Of tEavel-
ing people who go regularly from New
York to Chicago and vice versa several
times a month, who have never gone
over any other road but the Lake
Shore & Michigan Southern. because
this road is good enough for them. It's
good enough for anybody, the fastest,
safest. most convenient and most COM
Portable road in America. Once you
travel over the Lake Shore and you will
not want to experiment with any other
road. People who know the comforts
and discomforts Of travelling, and what
they have a right to expect. always
insist on their tickets reading by way
of the Lake Shore. So should you. W.
