Old Lady Gets Cav.

Mrs. Charles Sager, a West Vir-
ginia widow of seventy-five years, and
John Williams, about the same age
were married recently. Mrs. Sager
has for years been almost an invalid,
and has only been able to get around
with the assistance of cane. Two
hours after the marriage, through
the exuberance of her Joy, she had
cast aside her cane and was friskine
abou. as lively as colt. She jumped
four-foot fence without assistance
and was last seen with her husband
digging worms for bait, intending
to go fishing instead of taking a
honeymoon trip.

What promises to be the greatest
railroad fight in history is being
planned. Six billions, or oue-half
of the railroad capital of the country,
will be involved in the contest. The
parties to this battle are the Penn
sylvania and the Gould systems.
One of the most interesting facts
revealed by the census of 1900 is
that of the great predominance in
the number of females over The
number of males in the cities of
Virginia. OF eighteen cities in the
State only three of them have more
males than females.
The Americus (Ga) Recorder says:
"Tne difference between the treat
ment Of the negro North and South
is that in the South for revolving
crimes they are terribly punished,
and in the North they are shot at,
driven away and their property de.
stroyed for no crime at ALL"

recent court trial in that city: Rich
ard Soloman, alias "Big Dick" a
negro, was arraigned in the Corpo.
ration Court before Judge Hanckel,
tried and convicted and sentenced
to the penitentiary for 10 years
within 10 minutes. 1t is the quick
est case on record here, and is due
to Soloman's plea of guilty and to
the change in practice of the court

person charged with a capital
crime if he pleads guilty may be
tried and convicted by the judge,

HALF CENTURY'S GROWTH
FIFTY YEARS SINCE THE PENNsYL-
WANNA ROAD WAS BUILT.
Cleveland to Have the Finest Union
Station i'm the COuntry-Large
Earnings Of the Big FOur.

on Dec 10. 1852 the first Pennsylvania
train was run through over the Pennsyl-
vania Central Railroad from Philadelphia
to Pittsburg. Some residents of Pittsburg
recall the event and speak concerning its
Importance. The train which reached Pitts
burg from Philadelphia Dec. 10, 1852, was
run over the famous Portage Railroad in
sections. These planes were ten in number,
five or either side of the mountains. The
total length of the Portage road was S6.5
miles. On the eastern side it assembled 1889
feet in ten miles; on the westward side LII
feet in 26.5 miles. The State built the road
at cost of 100000, and Ii was one of the
wonders of that day. 1t was not aban-
doned until Feb. 10, 1854, when the noun
tain division of the Pennsylvania was
opened In 1852, when the first trains drawn
by locomotives crossed the mountains into
Pittsburg, its employees numbered but few
hundred its total pay roll in all depart
ments was 100000 and It's gross income 81
100000 The entire rolling stock consisted OF
one thousand cars and fifty locomotives.
In the year ending June 80, 1901, the roster
OF the Pennsylvania Railroad. extending
from Pittsburg to New York, carried lO6,OU
employees and the magnificent total or It's
pay roll was SIS 0OO, 900. Its gross income
was s19S, 626, SIS, while its dividends exceeded
$4,000, 900. Instead of single track there
are four tracks, with steel rails weighing
east and west of 10, 485 miles. The Pennsyl-
vania now owns 1926 locomotives, 3OSS pas
senger cars, not including 600 Pullman cars.
and 1S6,S2S freight cars, besides hundreds OF
cars belonging to private companies are
run over the road

NEW YORK. Dec. 12.-R. G. Dun g. Co.'S
weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will
say:
have combined to accelerate retail trade
sales largely exceeding the corresponding
week in preceding years. Much postponed
business is being made up and shipping
departments are crowded with work. but
wholesale trade has ruled quiet Railroad
earnings for the month of November ex-
ceeded last years by per cent, and those
of 1900 by EOS per cent.
At first glance the sudden rise in furnace
stocks of pig iron to 81 295 tons, compared
with n,S59 tons on Nov. /, might suggest
that consumption was below production,
but, obviously, any accumulation that &C.
ours is due to inadequate transportation
facilities. since needs are urgent as EVIL
denced by the imports of Eastern steel
works. The pressure Is still greatest for
railway supplies, with structural material
next as to urgency of demand.
Small supplementary orders for spring
shoes are received by New England shops.
but the season is practically over. Aside
from activity in Union sole, the leather
market has been quiet. Further recessions
have occurred In domestic hides On the
other hand. foreign dry hides are firmly
held, despite increased receipts. Conditions
are practically unchanged as to cotton
goods, a firmer volume of orders prevent
ing accumulation at the mills. Quotations
are steady and export sales Of heavy brown
cottons continue very small. Wooden goods
for next fall have been opened at an
average advance of from to 10 per cent.
Failures this week in the United States
are 269, against 204 last week, 213 the
preceding week and 273 the corresponding
against fifteen last week, sixteen the pre-
ceding week and seventeen last year.

RETAIL TRADE Is HEAVY
INDICATIONS POINT TO UNPRECE-
DENIED HOLIDAY BUSINESS.
Iron and Steel Nominally Ensier-R. G..
DUN 81 Co.'s Trade Review-Weckly
Report of the Bank CIearings.

NEW YORK. Dec. 1s-Bradstreet's. to-
morrow, will say:
Retail distribution, further stimulated by
colder weather and the advance of the
holiday season, has expanded largely until
it easily occupies first position in the
trade situation. Wholesale trade, except
where inroads retailers stocks have in
duced recorders. is relapsing into the quiet
usual at the stock-taking period. Building
trade activity has been checked by eli
matte influences, and the distribution of
lumber and building materials generally is
less active. Other leading industries also
note the quieting down usual at this sea-
son.
Great basic conditions, however. make
for future prosperity. Railway earnings
swelled by heavy traffic in grain and mis-
cellaneous products, offsetting smaller
movements in live stock, provisions and
cotton, show an increase of ~ per cent for
November over the same month year
ago. Cold weather and snow have helped
distribution al retail in the Northwest and
the outlook Is for an unprecedented holiday
distribution on the Pacific coast. Reor-
ders of heavy goods from jobbers are still
of moderate proportions at the West. but
spring sales are larger than year ago In
dry goods, shoes and clothing Holiday
trade is brisk for this early stage of the
season at the East. 1t has been a narrow
market for cotton. Heavy clothing, shoes
and rubber goods have moved into con-
sumption largely during the week, and
spring business Is reported Of fiattering
volume. There is but little new In the
cotton goods market, the export branch
being still very dull Wooden goods are
firm, and the mills we'll employed
Hides and leather are dull and rather quiet.
Lumber is quiet, already noted, but
prices are unimpaired.
Alone among the industries, iron and
steel show some symptoms of weaker prices
for crude material, but this, on the whole,
is more apparent than real because de-
mands for supplies are as pressing as ever,
and production has not yet overtaken con-
sumption. Lower prices for coke iron at
the West and weaker quotations for for
eign foundry iron at the seaboard may be
really regarded as readJustments or the
abnormal situation previously prevailing.
Heavier forms of finished material show no
signs of weakness. Rather more interest
is taken in pig iron, judging from the re-
opening of negotiations by the leading in
terest with the Bessemer Association for
deliveries in the second half of 1903. Pig
iron production at the East is improving.
Wheat, including -four, exports for the
week aggregate 3761, O47 bu, against 5, 704, 440
last week, 3,S77,6OS in this week last year,
and 4,S75.577 in 1900. Wheat exports since
July L aggregate 120.507, 495 blu. against 1885,
S033M last season and 86,00S003 In 1890. Corn
exports aggregate /. 301 2S6 blu. against Isl.
$50 last week, 27S,3O7 last year and 4S53, ASS
in 1900. For the fiscal year exports are
$50. 1S6 bu against 49, 794, ass last season and
81, 800, 1886 in 1900.

LOCAL WHOLESALE TRADE
FULL EFFECT OF HOLIDAY CONDI-
TIONS is NOW APPARENT.
Higher Prices for Poultry Are Ex-
pected-FlOur Market Is Stronger
Very Light Cereal Arrivals.

AS in years past, as the holidays draw
near trade in some lines increases while
in others there is a falling off. Just now
dealers in fancy notions and confection-
cries are having a great run of business,
the three leading confectioners shipping
goods by many carloads daily. All retail
ers are either purchasing or have already
covered their wants in this line. while
churches and other large holiday buyers
are in the field Many manufacturers of
confectionery are considerably behind with
orders and are working night and day to
catch up. All other holiday lines exhibit
seasonable activity. showing that retail
merchants are preparing for very large
business. The advance in refined sugar
which came on Tuesday was expected, and
occasioned neither surprise nor incon-
venience. Brokers had prepared jobbers for
1t, and they had in turn notified their GUS
toners, all Of them having ample time to
make preparation If they desired to cover
future requirements at old prices. Coffee
presents no new features, the local market
remaining unchanged as to quotations.
Canned goods and dried fruits hold their
own and are moving steadily. Salt mack
erel is firm at the advanced prices ruling
since the first Of last week. The fruit and
produce markets were very active In
preparation for Saturdays trade on the
part of retail merchants and market men.
There is an active demand for fancy ap-
Piles, and they sell at high prices. Oranges
and bananas are good sellers. and oranges
are improving in quality. Irish and sweet
potatoes are selling readily at unchanged
prices. with the supply still ample for all
requirements. Cranberry sales are increas-
ing and prices are firm Poultry is very
firm at quotations. and although the supply
Is more plentiful. Ii will not affect prices
which will be or cents a pound higher
than last year If present conditions hold
Still, II is too early to predict what prices
will be with any certainty. Flour Is bright
ening up and prices are decidedly firm.
Street stands will open on Monday with
Christmas trees and other green decora-
tions, and sales promise to be large, but
the same prices will prevail IS last year.

To Build a Fine Union station.

The plans for the new union station at
Cleveland are about completed. The orig
inal intention was that the station should
be occupied exclusively by the Lake Shore.
the Big Four and the Pennsylvania, the
Lake Shore owning 80 per cent. and the Big
Four and the Pennsylvania each Is per
cent, but it is understood that the Erie and
the Baltimore & Ohio have decided TO go
into the station, and IT is thought the
Wheeling & Lake Erie will be brought In.
The plans for the station are unique. There
will be three stories for traffic in the one
building. On the level of the present tracks
freight trains will pass back and FORTH
Will be above the present level of Erie
street, will be the passenger tracks; run
ming from the main waiting room OF the
station will be Subpassage way which
will lead to the opposite side of the build
ing. This will be about ten feet below the
tracks of the passenger trains. 1t will have
running up from it stairs leading to long
platforms between the tracks. In this way
a vast number of passengers can be carried
without any of them coming in contact
with any of the trains or being endangered
by passing engines. The station will be
built of steel and marble and will be one of
the finest from the standpoint Of art in the
country as well as an architectural oddity.
1t is said the cost of the Improvement may
exceed 100000
