SEASON

The excursion season is now close
at hand, inquiries as to dates are be-
coming numerous and indications are
that Notwithstanding the heavy travel
to the st. Louis Exposition the usual
summer excursions Will be we'll pat
ronized. Transportation men say
that this year will see the greatest ex-
cursion business the railroads have
ever known, and ASST ign as reason
the lateness of the arrival of that
kind of weather which would make
excursions paying investments for the
railroads. Of course the one point
where all the trains will be headed
this summer will be st. Louis, and
all roads running in that direction are
advertising reduced rates, but still
the roads running to the lakes and to
the Northwest are issuing their usual
amounts of excursion advertising, and
are announcing as many excursions
as in former years.

The Move is Against the Goulds, Who

A report is current in railroad cir
cles that the Pennsylvania Lines west
of Pittsburg intend to discard the
Western Union and install the Postal
Telegraph company's system about
July 1st. The spirit of this move is
easy tn see->The Westen.- Union is
controlled by the Goulds, and the
Goulds also control the Wabash,
which after a gigantic fight and after
an expenditure of a million dollars
had effected an entrance into Pitts
burg, the Pennsylvania stronghold
and will take out freight which the
Pennsylvania formerly handled ex-
clusively. The contract with the
Western Union has expired and has
not been renewed and east of Pitts
burg the poles were ordered off the
Pennsylvania right of way. The fight
over the lines west of Pittsburg has
just been carried to a high court. 1t
| is said that the Western Union lines
will not be taken away but the SER
vice of the Postal installed.

A COMPANY Will
Be INCORPORATED
TO INSTALL THE MUCH TALKED
OF SYSTEM OF STEAM
HEATING
WORK BEGINS SOON
Work in the Matter of Figuring up
the Cost and Making Plans Has
Been Going On
WORK BEGINS SOON

While the plans for the installation
of a steam heating plant in Richmond
have been lying low for past month
or two and have not been a matter of
public discussion, it is not dead by
any means. Rather it is working
underground and will burst forth
some day, and that soon, too, accord
ing to a local man who is greatly in
terested i'll the matter. 1t is now
thought iEat without a doubt the
company will be incorporated the last
of this week to install this steam
heating system in Richmond. The
matter has passed out Of the hands of
the local promoters and lies entirely
with the capitalists and moneyed
men who are interested III this
scheme who live in other cities, es-
pecially in indianapolis. While this
matter of the incorporation of the
plant is not entirely definite, y"t
from the many persistent rumors all
tending to the same thought, namely
that this co mpany will soon incOrpo-
rate. While unknown to the people
of this city the promoters and capital
lists have been carefully going over
the ground for quite long while and
have at last reached the stage of ac-
ton The plans of the work that will
have to be done and a close estimate
of the cost have been made and the
men behind the scheme are now aware
of the probable cost Of the work. The
rumors as to the probable officers of
the company are not definite enough
yet to be believed for GER
tain, but capitalists from
out Of two" are the most great
ly interested and these will probably
be elected officers and either move
here or appoint local managers fol
them. The work of planning and es-
timation of the work has been going
on for some time "below the sur
face' and by the first of next week
at least, say those who know, the
company will be incorporated and ac-
tive steps will be taken for the be.
ginning of this work. The field is g
good one and is doubtful on account
Of one thing, namely, that the gas
service last year was better than ev
er before and many people will bt

an association. The movement is GER
tainly good one and every merchant
in the city should be present and take
a hand in the work. Its object is to
protect the merchants from all things
illegitimate, especially in advertising
and soliciting. Mr.. Clark will be
present at the meeting and explain
the matter to the satisfaction Of all.
