KkGE Democrat CHICAGO STRIKE SPREADS-EVERYTHING SAID TO BE IN READINESS TO PUT SOLDIERS ON THE STREETS IN THE SHORTEST POSSIBLE ORDER-SERIOUS TROUBLE IS ANTICIPATED VOLUME XXXXIV. INDIANA, INDIANA COUNTY, WEDNESDAY, MAY 24, 1905. NUMBER fk it- 1 Want to Block the Goulds. 1 It is said the interests identified with Ibe.PennpylvaniaRailrcad Company are securing options on coal mines and coal abreflges held by independent coal along the entire line and brandies of the Allegeheny Valley Rail- rpad; With a view of buying these properties for cash. In all sixty-seven mines 'and several hundred thousand acres of lands are involved in the deal, and 'it is said the cash price has been fixed ttt $6,000,000 Report has it that when the desired propeity is secured a new COal company will be formed which will totcontrol the coal trade of the Canadain and Buffalo markets ai well as the New England StateF.

The new combine ie being formed to Checkmate Gould's plans, and coal is being bought in the immediate vicinity of the Buffalo, Rochester Pittsburgh interests, to bring the latter company to terms. The Pittsburg Post speaking of the new coal, combine states the following: "Ever since this Gould plan has become known agents of the Pennsylvania Railroad have been busy watching the developments along the Buffalo, Rochester Pittsburg. Its extention toward Pittsburg through Indiana county until it reached Iselin brings that road within 65 miles directly across Westmoreland and Allegeheny counties to the West Side Belt line of the wabash at Clairton. 'It is said that the proposition was to track this Indiana county line from Punxeutawney to Pittsburg and make it the main line of the Buffalo, Rochester Pittsburg, instead of the line to Butler, as now used. "It was intimated some days ago in the Post that'the Yates line would use the Wabash Passenger terminal to Pittsburg 'and be free from either the Baltimore Ohio, or the Pennsylvania influence, and this was the way it was to be'done.

Of course it meant nn abpo- lutely independent system into Pittsburg Without the slighteut influence of the Pennsylvania or Vanderbilt lines, and caused the greatest concern. To get control of the immense coal deposits along the Allegheny Valley and put them under the dictation of the Pennsylvania would give that company a powerful weapon against the Yates-Iselin syndicate and help it in striking a blow at the Buffalo, Rochester Pittsburg in its main business, that of the coal supply to Buffalo and Canadian markets. It Js said that it will be used as a club to a better relationship between the Pennsylvania and Buffalo, Rochester Pittsburg, to the detriment of any deal between it and the Wabash. One of he features of the options being taken by the Buffalo men is an agree- demanded of the independent operators is that they will remain out of the coal business in that territory in which the sale is made for a period of five years, not only on the railroads mentioned, but on any railroad built in the future by the Pennsylvania or other interests. Getting the working mines and properties in this rich field followed by this effort to checkmate the rapid advances made by the Goulds and Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburg are both tasks of a magnitude that has startled the coal men.

"The market is a tremendously active one and growing rapidly. It has been the chief backbone of the Buflalo, Rochester Pittsbunr for its freight business, and has provided a powerful leverage for its into Eastern fields by connections with other 1 Wabash Survey About Completed. The Wabash Railroad has about completed a frurvey through Indiana county, and circumstances indicate that the road will be built at an early date. The new survey crosses the Allegheny river at Pittsburg, and continues ou high ground along the north side of the Kiskiminetas river until it reaches Leechburg. From there a direct course is taken to the waters of Crooked creek, and the creek is followed to a point above Shelocta, where the line branches off towards Indiana, and passes through the northern part of this place.

The line then takes an eastern coutse to Twolick creek and follows the creek to Gjierrytree, from Cherrytree to Dowler Junction, and from Dowler Junction to' a point north Jof Sunberry, where the' Susquehanna river His crossed. At the latter point connections are made over one of the established eastern roads, which gives direct entrance into New York, Last week a charter was granted for a railroad from a point north of Indiana to Dowler Junction in Cleartield county. Previous to that time a charter had been granted for a line from a point east of Sunberry to Dowler Junction, and in the near future it is expected that ap- plication will be made for a charter from a point north of Allegheny, to Indiana, along the route above stated, The advent of a railroad over the above survey, would give the shortest service to both New York and Piltsburg, and would open up new territory in Indiana county, railroad which the B. S. Company is building through Indiana county will be known as the Plurnville Railroad from Cqvode to Plumville, and from Juneau to Covode, the Buffalo and Bus quehanna Railroad.
