Err HIGH OFFICIALS OF THE
VANDERBILT LINES TO MEET
SENATOR DAVIS.

ELKINs, w. Va July 1S.-Coloncl
j. NJ. schoonmacher, vice president Of
the Pitts6urg and Lake Erie railroad,
accompanied by a number Of proml'
nent eastern railroad officials, arrived
in the city to-day at noon to spend the
day or so as the guests OF ex-senator
Henry Gassaway Davis and his son,
John T. Davis, and also to inspect the
entire system of the Coal and Coke
railroad, with a view to purchasing
the latter system, 80 report says. The
visit has Significance owing to the
fact that Colonel schoonmacher is one
OF the promoters Of the Buckhannon
and Northern railroad, which company
is now building the connecting link
between Belington, seventeen miles
north of here, and the lines OF the
Plttsburg and Lake Erie, in Southern
Pennsylvania. A branch line o. the
Coal and Coke extends from Elkins 10
BelIngton, which would make the Goa
and Coke property very valuable Ia
the new railroad, as 1t would allow &C
cess to the undeveloped coal lands ad
jacent to the Coal and Coke's line, bO
tween Elkins and Charleston. Add
tional Importance attends the officials
trip on account OF the fact that the
Western Maryland and the Pittsburg
and Lake Erie are understood to be
controlled by the same parties, AM
the officials action thus appear as an
attempt on the part OF the Westerr
Maryland system to gain control O.

planters and producers Of sugar made
a determined stand on the taEih be-
fore the house sugar trust committee

Of sugar duties would ruin the do

that free sugar would annihilate both

with their tariff ideas. B.

Louisiana, "wantito take the tarltf of

in advance that you will kill all do,

Tlie hauling Of dirt from the excava;
lion for buildings on Main street, IN
loose val ION beds was brought to the
attenttonsof Mayor Martin this morn.
INK and after to-day there will be
nothing doing in the loose wagon
business in Carrying dirt over the
streets There Is an ordinance pro-
hibitIng the hauling Of all materials
that makes a litter on the streets or
alleys III anything but a closed or
tight wagon bed. This information
WIS conveyed by the mayor himself
to contractors doing the excavation
work. E.
The expense Of keeping the sLteeLs
clean after loose wagons that litter
the thoroughfares on which they
move Is very big one to the city. The
failing OF earth on the streets means
very considerable amount Of dust
that must be kept down some way by
the citizens that are annoyed by it.
This means that much water is to be
used by the people taking up their
lime In fighting a nuisance that they
should moi be subjected to- Awaste

enough hardly to keep an adequate

GIANTS EXPECT THEY
WILL BE USING THE
POLO GROUNDS IN JULY.

IF the contractors live up to their
predictions John T. Brush and his
associates expect to have the Polo
Grounds in shape for regular league
ball games by the middle of July.
Mr. Brus has not received the blue
prints of the completed plans and speci-
f%lcations from the architects in Cieve-
lane and his Is as anxious over their
arrival as a schoolboy with a new toy.
He says that he wants to honor the
city of New York with the greatest
baseball plant in the world, and that
he wants to see it completed within
nine weeks.
The teachers as they now stand will
be used for the rest of the season, but
will be torn down in the winter n re-
placed by steel structures. The new
stand, which is to be q double-decker,
will be built to seat something like
on the field. 1t will be necessary to
move the diamond further back toward
centre field,
One of the features of the new stands
will be the immense concrete runways
which will be used instead of stairs be-
tween the lower and upper stands. The
runways will also be built so as to per-
init of a quick exit from the stands.
There viii be more than fifty exits onto
the playing field and there will be
arches under the centre field bleachers
so that a crowd of $4,000 people can be
sent through them in five minutes.

DRUMFISH DANGEROUS;
HURTING OYSTER CROP.

TRENTON, May lo.-Black drumfish
have been raising such havoc with the
famous oyster beds In the vicinity of
Tuckerton and Little Egg Harbor Bay
that the State Board of Fish and Game
commissioners decided yesterday to
permit a mephaden fishery company to
try the experiment of reducing the size
of the schools by the use of nets.
The black drumfish is one of the
worst enemies of the oyster in places
which it frequents. The black drumfish
is neither a game nor a food fish, it's
ony uses seemingly being to eat
oysters and act as a general scavenger.
