OF the city was arraigned for cheat
ing under false prstenses, in a horse

case was continued from day to day as
a civil suit has been started.
Allie Burr was arraigned in connec-
ton with the search case recently

of business to a man by the name cf
Hall and that is why Carriveau was
not found until later. Burr in com
pany with several others was in the
place during that afternoon. Hall. the

Pittsburg, Nov. 5.-An apparently
well-founded rumor comes from stee
making and railroad circles here
Wednesday evening that the United

concc Ssun the big railroad systems of
the country have agre ed to order rails
heavily and at once. The standard
price Of rails has for years been $2S
a ton. The Pittsburg report cuts prices
to &3l. The whole report comes from
q source authoritative. and no one
can be found here to deny it.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Wednes
dav began taking stock in expectation
of placing its big order for rails.
From Philadelphia came blanks to he
filed out showing how many rails will
he needed to put the Pittsburg division
in first-class shape: also how many
rails are now on hand and how many
rails have been laid in the last year.
Railroad authorities last night in dis
cussing the matter say the life of a
rail is seven years, which shows that
e-seVenth Of each systems trackage
there has been little track laying for
almost two years the railroads are in
need Of almost double their former an

these orders will be placed soon
