ROY AL BAT TIE
FOR 2-GEllT FARE
BIG FIGHT ON an PENNSYLVANIA
AND THE WINNER ls NOT
VET NAMED.

HARRISBURG, Aug. 15.- Though
every party platform In Pennsylvania
this year declares for 2-cent fare and
trolley freight the consensus of opin:
ion among political observers here
lis that the fight for these reforms is
not yet won. Men who have seen as
much public service as the average
iholler OF an office ION the hill'l have
acquired profound respect for the
power and resource cefllness of the great
railroad interests The theory that
the abolition of the free-pass prtyil-
Iege has rendered the railroads nelp-
less against any and all sorts of re-
{ rictive legislation Is not entertained
very strongly here.
So long as passes were available the
railroads seldom found 1t necessary
TO employ other means to protect their
interests from adverse legtslatIon. but
there was never any doubt about their
ability to pull wiresiof the most potent
and -far-reaching character.
vast T1tiuenes.of r. H.. r.
The Pennsylvania railroad, for in;
stance, whose property within this
State is so vast that 1t pays more than
$2,00O,00O taxes annually, is not to be
regarded as shorn of'infiuence on Cap
itol hill simply because State officials
and members of the Legislature no
longer ride free Its trains. Its lines
penetrate the great majority of the
67 counties of the State, and in every
oneof these counties It enjoys close
business relations with many of the
men whose influence largely direct
the making and unmaEing of the can
dfdates of all parties.
The employees alone of the Pennsyl-
vania constitute an army of some hun.
dreds OF thousands Of men, who, in
cities like Harrisburg and Altoona,
aud in many smaller communities,
largely dominate at the polls. As a
rule the leading political lawyer In
each county Is counsel for the Penn
sylvania. Managers oflarge industrial
and business abllshments prefer
to be in accord establishments etaoin
to be in accord with the railroad whose
service is essential to their prosper
ity. Then there are thousands direct
" or indirectly interested in the fur
nishing of rElroad supplies df all
sorts. &
In a thousand ways, In fact, q great
railroad is capable Of bringing pres
sure to bear on members of the Leg.
islature through Influences that the
members may find it dlfHcult to resist.

There is but one thing about rail.

upon as not liable to be moved. and
that Is the depots44 and often they are

Kept in the same town. But terminal
faciIities, which include round d2tiousesi
pumping stations. turntables. and re.
pair shops, are here today and there
tomorrow; SO Improvements which
are dependent upon these terminal
buildings are very insecure. 1t is
felt sure, however, by the business
men OF Fafrmont and by the railroad
company itself that the terminal at
this city will be an exception to the
general nomadic principle. The rail.
road company is making improve
ments at the local yards and the busi-
ness men of Fairmont are planning
for a new town which win be located
near and dependent upon the railroad
yards.
Round House Improved.
A large number Of bricks are now
being unloaded at the yards which
win be used in laying new floor in
the round-house, which will have many
other Improvements made to it. The
large steel bridge which is being Piac-
ed by the railroad company over the

time have had to be overcome. The

The Concrete Piers.
The piers which have been placed
under this bridge as well as under the
bridge OF the traction company at
BarnsvIlle over Buffalo creek, are be-
ing watched and studied with great in
terest by those who are interested in
bridge structure. They are called
concrete PIERS and have been in use
for only few years. No one knows
how we'll they will last, for none have
been given a thorough test by time
and water. They are built out of
crushed stone and cement which are
mixed together at the pier. Within
short time the cement is hard, with.
the apparent strength and the lasting
qualities of stone. The points In favor
of the concrete pier are that they are
more easily built than stone ones,
that they are cheaper and that they
are more beautiful than the rugged
ones built of stone On the other

are now entirely completed up to the

on this side of the river and rapidly
pushed on the other The tracks and

bridge is also entirely across the

finished by the first of September.
Weakened by Fear.
But this morning the force is great
iy weakened, for four Of the bridge
workmen quit last evening, having
been scared on the job on ACCOUNT of
the man who fell last evening and who
now lies In dangerous condition at
Cooks Hospital. The force therefore
Is greatly crippled. and will OF neces-
slty delay the work some. Whenever
a fellow workman is hurt on bridge,
great fear always seems TO come to
the other men, for the hearness of
death, as they walk about upon the
high beams over the water, and after
another has been dashed to his death
comes to them with great yividness
and force, and appears much nearer
than ever before. They quit work,
hut after a few days their nerve"
comes back, and then they begin work
again.

THE TEACHER IN A NEW ROLE

New Bedford Standard-Just how it
comes about that the eight hundred
school teachers who constitute the
Teachers Club of Denver are able to
put up a handsome club house." as
the newspapers tell us they intend to
do-"a large four-storied building,
with Offices, reading and lounging
rooms on the first floor, parlors and a
large room for lectures and social use
on the second floor, the third and
fourth floors fitted up in apartments,
and restaurant in the basement
is not told. But the fact seems to be
that this Denver Teachers Club is
not going to be outdone by any wo-
mans club that has provided itself
with sumptous quarters Of course.
there is nothing especially remarkable
in a woman's club Of the regulation
type putting up a club house if it
wants to, but that any body of public
school teachers should see their way
