Malonoy had beoi drinking during tho Itei noon and some slight altercation between ho am Barker nnd Beat.

He Imd purchase tbe revolver few hoi before and was beard to say that "niggers" won get into trouble If they did not leave Iiiu alone. Maloney ia c. yonng man om worked ut Moirell, thero bu few days.

He was ftiven a hearing be lore 'Squire Ciimpbcll on morning, and in default ol ball was committed to jail. A BHUTAL ATTACK ON A WOMAN. On Saturday evening a coker nnmed Samuel Walker, balling from McClurcs, went to Scottdalo and proceeded to fil; JiiuvifrU with boozo. A Her getting drunk be went to the boarding honae of Mrs. Sarah Barnett.

at which place Walker's wife was employed as a domestic. Ho aakod his wile ior monoy with which to purchase whisky. Hht wife refused him and lie threatened to kick her to Ueath. Mrs. Barnett appeared, and struck him over the head with a broomstick.

Walker then knocked her down and kicked her in a most brutal manner. Walker Immediately started for Evoraou, but was followed by officer Xxmganuokor and several others. They missed him however, in some way while at Everson, but as he returned lo town bo was discovered by (be officers. Hod ibe of fleers been a Tew moments later In finding him, he would have been badly burned. It appears that on his road to town bo purchased a box of matches which he thoughtlessly placed In his bip pocket, aud when he lay down in the alley the match.a* were Ignited, burning his clothes oonsiderably and blistering his hip, before the officers succeeded In putting the lire ont.

When Ixuiganecker arrived he looked up and said, "Bill, I'm ahot.aml I saw the fellow thai sbot me." lie was not shot, only by liquor, and was conducted to the lockup where be spent tho night.

NO I I SCALE YET. Two More to Hi'i uro Oou In Utter Tttlliirp, Since last Thursdny two attempts hav been made to secure a slldirg scale an in each rose tho result has been tho same adoad failure.

Tho solution heenis as re ninle i day, if not moio so, than at th resumption of a mouth ago. Th labor still refuse to work i haii.tony ami nonoot thocokoeompimie except tho Frrck Company, ox press a il lingnoHS to lret.t on the question. Monday commlttoes ol tlie Knights Labor and Amalgamated Assoclatloi held aconfercnoo with that company. Tbol purpose as to secure scale if possible Lynch was reiidy to to a scale tha would give im advance. The wore ready to treat lor the scalo, but tb Amalgamated committee claimed they would have io wait until their tlelfigat convention me ton Wednesday to get au thority to aci.

As a result, nothing coul be done towards securing tho upon Lynch Elated to tho committoestha the company him to notify tho men in th elr employ that tho compan; waa ready to form a scale on that day tha would bo satisfactory to all. In case i was not signed on that day tho 121 pe cent, advance would be no lougei paid and the men would only be paid from tha date whatever prlcuis finally agreed upon Tho committees i very miicl discouraged over tlio outlook. On tin same day tbo notices woro posted at th' di tic rout works and from that day tho ad vance ceased. On Wednesday the Amalgamated Aso elation held a delegate convention nt orson. Tho representation was lull Routine- business of the district occupied the attention of the greater part of th' session.

After disposing of this tho scali question camo up. A groat deal of debat Ing took place and widely different view; were expressed by tho delegates. Xi agroomont was reached and an adjourn ment was ordered until yesterday. Tin delegates camo early iu the morning am spent a full day. The first mat tor attend ed lo was tho appointment ot acommittei to conler for a second time with Sciperln- tendent Lynch.

Tho Knights of Labo: committee received notification of the con feronco and were promptly on tbo scene They again expressed tboir willingness to sign a scale, but tho same old olc was raised by the Amalgamated com mittce, which was, that they no ready and asked for more time. It was wot so than useless so continue tho eon 'erenuo. It adjourned and a telegram was sent to Secretary Acbeson relative a conference with all the operators. N' reply was received a The commit too returned to thu convention an he rest of the day was spent in talkiiifc over what hod not butm accomplished The battle lines between tho two organ! is were more distinctly ij rawn by a resolution which was passed to tho ef- oct that tho Amalgamated Association aavo no Joint action with tho Knights Labor. During tho day a now executive board composed ot John McClane, Thorn is Boy lo, Thomns 1 Toll, James IHimphey Henry Melster, William Bcllsteln, John tlarper, and Frank McUurgan was elected.

President Trirnbath says tbe men ol ho II. C. Frick Coke Company tue very much dissatisfied i having tho I2i per cent cut oft. Tho results ot" tho con are very unsatisfactory to the delegates. One of them biiid ho had never at- ended a convention whoro thero was mien noise and jangling.

U' a neale is not secured soon it is difllctilt to predict hoiem.lt. Tt is darkly hinted that strike is a probability. President Harris is speaking ot Lho sit- lation said: "I leol certain that tho Ymalgamated AssoLmtlon will cotno out all right. Tho popular vote that Is being is showing that tho Knights of La- Hr are In a big minority. This moans bat we will stick to our scale and will In- 1st lhat the Knights of Labor, as an organization, have nothing to do with our greemonts.

The laying of tho natural gas pipes ii the borough has been delayed owing some misunderstanding which Las arisen between the company ami tbe council ovoi tho terms of the articles of agreement. Th( articles weredrawn up by Clerk SLlUwai? on at tho direction oi tho council and Us terms aro baaed upon the revisions the ordinance. The instrument was sub milled to Willis T.

MoCook.of PJtUbnrg attorney Tor the gas company for inspection, who filed a number of objections to it. Chief of which was that tho artiules embraced much that was included in the ordinance and was only a repetition. Biv the strongest objection was to the ex tension of pipes In isolated dlstiiirts, or in sections where the company thought it would not pay them to lay pipes. By the agreement a board of arbitrators, one chosen by council, one ly the gas coin pany, and these two a third, was to con- aider all such cases, The giis company to pay the costs of all such arbitrations. Their decision was to bo binding tor the period of one year.

Hthey decided that tho pipe must be luld or not laid nothing would be done until a year had ex pi sod at which time tho case could bo reopened. McCook protested again Hi this, but 1L is the intention oi council to endeavor to secure the point, and prevent, If posblble, a repetition of Die coir.plaints which the residents in the outskirts of tho borough have made over the terms under which the water company extend their mains. The agreement provided for a uniform rate- ot for tbe aousnmption of gas, moaning LhaL there should be no discrimination whatever between houses lining an equal amount of fuel. BKro-Ri; COUNCIL. McCook embodied his objections in communication to council.

Tho question as to tho depth nt which tho pipes uro to be luld is now in Uio'coiirta nud the ugro- nieut on this point will bo based upon tho decision. TL is now nil milted lluil it fa loss dangerous to lay pipes shallow than deep because when neat tlio surface the gas which escapes liom tho pipes pauses off into the air instead of, penetrating the ground into tbe cellars OB Is the case when tho pipes aro laid deep. Tho company agreed to pay R. Marietta poi day for Tices as inspector. Agent Mellon of Lho gas company appealed beloro council Tuesday evening toexpluinthoobjeutions nl Attomoy McCpok and JirrautfO the adjustment of the UifficuUitH.

Members of council discussed tho matter at lengtl but finally disposed of It by loferring it to tho gas and water committee for HdjustniGitt. This cairmiilteo will sub- nut MeCook's communication to tho boi- ough solicitor, A. 3), IJoyd, in unler to learn uhat action vull bo ior thorn to take. This was satisfactory to Mollon ami ho withdrew after council, stated to him that It would in no way interfere with the oi laying pipes bo- ause ot the misunderstanding. The men reached town oti Wednesday and work began yesterday morning.

The South Ponn road is to bo built yot.

Tho suit in equity begun by the Ponnayl- vmila against the reorganization of the rond throntonB to prove boomerang and is aHign of tho utter desperation of tho Penney people in thoir eObrla to Htop tiio completion ol tho lino. A gen tleamn who in connected Uie line was interviewed bj' a Plttaburg reporter it few days ago. Ho said: "In tho extraordinary suitot the I'ennsylvimlatailroac! intereBlH it is conclusively bhown that their efforts have reached a stage when no action, however unprecedented, will be omltled that aflords straw to catch on. Ileio is legnl dispute in which tho Interests of two Pennsylvania corporations aro involved, that has been fully argued in the state courts. The preliminary injunction lias practically shown tho claim oftlie Pennsylvania railroad to bo against public policy and contrary to the constitution.

But while the flnal hearing in tho state courts is still pending the Pennsylvania road seeks to lake the question to tho United mates courts In another slute and to have a question decided there which iswhollyxubjectto the constitution of this state. The bill tries to make It appear that tho bargain fur the delivery of tho South Venn was completed. The lact Is that the stock was to transfer the control of tho South Peun was never delivered, nor did the 00 per centum specified In the Vanderbilt-floberts bargain oven lign. The entire bargain loll through when I lie. (W per cent, stipulated in the oi iginal deal did not assent to the transfer.

fcOMK HISTORY. is not merely us an ordinary competing line that the South Ponn isobnox- ous to the Pennsylvania railroad, but it because the now read will puncture the bubble ot tl.o groat corporation's capitalization. When tho Pounsylvaniurailroad was first laid out.lt took tlio place of water routes of transportation. Ic purchased the public worku of the state and built its lino ior groat portion of tho distance along the banks of the canals. It wan not soon then that to follow the of wa- Ler levels over a long stretch of territory, so as to make turao milos of track whore there need bo but two If a straight lino was followed, would involve an ejfp0nv ot motive power and wear and tear that to few years amount to moiethan saving in construction by following wator lavels.

But befoio tho railroad buntnoss 'gained its present magnitude ho Pennsylvania Hallroad, like all tho other roads, saw Ihe mistake, and were over a considerable portion ol the straighten the track in a way that amouutod to building a new line, Anyone cnu soo.this between Philadelphia uid UaiTlsburg. That was a wise and necessary policy, but what was tho ellect on ibo capitalization I a iron manufacturer tinds that his old blast furnace is HO far behind tho age ol scientific iron making that has got to rebuild It, ho charges the cost of the old stock to pront and loss, and only regards tho money in i now ono as Ills capital invested In tho irojecl. Competition will not allow him collect inteiest on both." WHEB.E IT HURTS Till: 1'ENNSY. "Tho Pennsylvania -Railroad was heay- ly capitalized In the flist plane, and tho cobt of Ijoth thti aid portions ol tho road which have been abandoned, and oi tho new and modern toad which has been lobullt, is all included in its capital, on which it is sought to make tbo ship- ling aud traveling public pay 0 per cent. ntorost.

This they have succeeded in lolng so iar and the Pennsylvania Ball- 111 always be ftblo to earn a large )rollton tho loglmateand honest Invost- neiit. The effect ol the fourth section of tho inter slato commerce law is to give tho shortest lino between two points tho advantage in transportation over rounda- out lines. That is perfectly right in a ublic point of view, and Its operation at present is to the advantage of tho Pennsylvania Railroad. But tho effect of tho South Penu is not only that It will iharo this advantage hut it will puncture tbo huge capitalization of the Pennsylvania. What chance will that corporation hare to iorco rates that will yield 6 er cent, on its juimeuso capital, cally representing the coat of two roads; with a competing line that -will be built roiu Uarrisburg to Pittsburg at a coac of This Is the point that agitates tho Pennsylvania road.

It is the completion of a line the capital ol which only represents the modern- cost of construction that makes tlio Pennsylvania Knil- so desperate." IT WILL BE BUILT. "The completion of the South Penn as an Independent lino Is as certain as anything in the tuture can bo. Tho agreement for that purpose brings up one point about which tbo Pennsylvania Railroad makes an erroneous statement. It alleged that tho recent agreement for reorganization and reconstruction of the South Penn rood Is between tho ml- lority luterosta, fact Is that before lie agreement was presented to the subscribers of the South Penn at largo it had received the approval of tho mutorlty in- Tho history is that a meeting was held In New York at which representatives of Pittaburg and New York capital comprised a majority of the South capital, and tho agreement was ar- before that meeting adjourned and received tho signatures of the majority ot he capital, tho basis of which is tlio completion of Ihe road. When tbe agreement ivos piesentedto the other Pittsbnrg and Philadelphia subscribers tin) matter was ractically settled but the assurance has oen strengthened by the fact that over hree-quarters of the old capital, has now signed the now agreement, with some counties yot to hoar from.

The new road 111 be able to command the Reading oilt- et as it has tho contract for that purpose, THE BEACH CRBEK INCLUDED. "The prospects oi the new road as an nvestment are all that could he oiikod. The entire capitalization Is limited by the agreement to $8,000,000 common stock, 14,000,000 preferred stock, and $12,000,000 bonds. This total of 821,000,000 will build and stock the road Irom Har.isburg to Pittaburg, and la ample for all purposes. The only question aa to the return on this investment was whether the road could get 3,000,000 tons ol freight a year, and hat tonnage Is now guaranteed to It as soon as ita linen aro opened.

The Uunt- rgton and Broad Top Railroad alone, which is bottled up by tho Pennsylvania Railroad at both ends, will give that amount ot freight to the new road. Then tonnage coming from the Western Pennsylvania gas ooal that have been shnt out from tho east in the Inter- it of the Westmoreland Coal Company will be an important addition to the traffic. The Cumberland Valley 000,000 Into the road as toon It ready to commence work. The bonds ot the new Hue are gilt-edged with the guanm- ees in traffic contract that are made, and ta future is assured. The Beach Creek ilue is already reorganized and Is earning interest on all its stock nod bonds wltb nothing but bituminous coal to carry." A GIGANTIC COAL POOL.

The River Coal Form Cowbl- imtlon With Capital of the largmtcoalcotnblnatloniiev- er known will shortly be formed by the operators of the Monongahela and Kanawha rivers. Tlie object is to control and conduct tbo coal business of the two districts. Joseph Walton, tbe coal king, tho projector of the nob me. When tbe combination la organized will represent a vast accumulation of capital and Industry. The idea is to lorni a giant Htook company, composed of all the of the cool regions, whose capital stock will not be lews than $5,000,000 and may exceed 920,000,000.

An article of agreement in being signed by the It Is expected that every operator will algn and tliUH become a member of a company. Tho plan of busldem of the association is about as follows: Tbo members the proposed company will put into a common pool all of their present possess. ions, including coal lands and leaaes, floating craft, mined coal then on hand, landings and moorings. The assessed value ol his property put in the pool will represont the member's stock In the company. It will thus bo seen that the actual iggregate of the company's capital stock will be much greater than the assessed value, and when tho groat amount of property ou nod by the many operators of the two districts is considered It will be plainly seen that the capital stock ol such a gigantic company cannot tall much short of $20,000,000.

Tue project Is not a hasty oue, but has beon well formulated, and has been before the leading of the mentioned for some timo, and is now about to be developed. Two or theee docks will be built. Two or tliroe watchmen on a dock can do the 'ork 20 or 30 are paid for now. There would bo Just the same number of men employed In tbe mines and boats, but there would bo considerable saving in giving full employment to a number of men who are indtspenslble under existing conditions, but who have very littlo to do. Tho eat ly part of September has been set for the date when it is expected tlie organization will be formed, and In tbe meantime the signatures of tbe remsiulng operators will be secured on tbe paper.

Tbe company will be governed by a president Lninorofllcera and directors. Joseph Wahon, tho projector of the sobeme Is tbe Tospoctivo preNldent. There are about ao operators in tho region rep resented, aud tbe yearly output of the works they control ta estimated at 1,000,000 bushels of coal. From tbe of the output and he scheme contemplated one can readily estimate or gain some idea ot tbe powerful luctorauch a company must become. O.
