Public Works Commissioners Realize Importance of the Big Sewer. LOAN ORDINANCE IS REPORTED City Fathers Will Promptly Pass the Appropriation Needed For the Improvements The improvement loan ordinance is out of committee and next Monday night will be rood for the first time in Common Council, where it was introduced. There was no opposition to it last evening iind but little i.s expected to the excellent measure which arranges for the issuance of bonds in series as needed. While the measure is going through, the Councils the Board of Public Works will proceed with, plans which will ultimately remove the menace to public health in Tax ton Creek. The ordinance giving the Sinking Fund Commissioners authority to issue bonds to the amount of for the public improvements was a.f firmarively reported by the Finance Committee of the City Councils last evening and not a word was said in opposition to it.

The ordinance was read and agreed to within three minutes. The ordinance as recommended does not make it necessary to issue the whole $1,090,000 at once, but Tests authority in the Mayor, City Controller and City Treosurer to issue them in series as needed. There are "to be twenty six series, designated by letters of the alphabet, and ail bonds are to bear three and a half per cent, interest. The first series, which will be 'A," will be for 1 0, 000, and each of the twenty five succeeding series will be for 36,100. These series will be put out whenever money is required, so that it will not be necessary to go to Councils for every loan.

An annual levy of 2.17 mills will be to meet the interest and principal on these bonds, which will be due and pnyablp at the end of Thirty years from day of issue, if some are not taken up before that time, as it is hoped to do. The motion To return the ordinance affirmatively was made by Mr. Jennings, a second by Mr. Um berger. All members voted for it.

As soon as the ordinance authorizing the issuance of the loan is well advanced in the city's legislature measures will be introduced for appropriation of the full amounts stipulated for The three items over which the Board of Public Works will have control. The ordinance submitting the question of increase to the people requires this action and the Commissioners have deemed it expedient to ask that The sums set apart for filtration, the Toxton Creek sewer and the construction of the dam be placed at their disposal. This will avoid application To Councils for money every time a bill is to be paid, while at lie same time the Councilmen have entire charge of the cash, as the Commissioners can not poy a single bill without the ap proval of the lawmakers. Owing to the iinreney for the improvement of conditions along Tax ton Creek, especially it. danger to public health, the necessity for finding places of discharge for six Vug sewers now emptying into the shortly to be abandoned canal and the negotiations for the purchase of rights of way for the big sewer, the Commissioners hove concluded to go ahead without awaiting an appropriation, trusting to the early action of Councils to provide the funds when bills are due.

According to this plan the Commissioners will open their office on May 1st. and Mr. Fuertes will commence work on his orrantrements at once so that in course of a week or ten days the engineers can begin their surveys along the Faxton Creek valley, which mean work over a line four miles long, and start on the working plans. This will require about three and a half to four months, so That if will be August or September before bids can be invited and the first month of autumn will be showing on the calendar before work can be started. It is calculated to do some work during the winter and it is hoped that the sewer may be well advanced toward completion by the end of next summer, although it is a hure undertaking.

This is the plan which it i.s hoped to follow if the money is voted promptly. Belay in Councils will mean delay in improvement of The creek. The first series of bonds to be issued will be dated September 1st, subsequent series being issued as money is required to make payments on work. Mr. Spencer C.

Gilbert, president of the Board of Public Works, said this morning that for the reasons enumerated above the Paxron Creek improvement would come first and that filtration could hardly be reached this year. ELECTRIC COMPANY ENJOINED FROM PLANTING A POLE Attorneys Hargest Harp est ttrs morning secured a preliminary injunction against the Harrisburg Electric Lisrht.

Train No.

21, known as "St. Louis Fx press." drawn by the big class 'engine No. 8, in charge of Kngineman Samuel Hertzler, left here at 7.25. Between Duncannon. and Juniata Bridge Engineer Hertzler noticed an obstruction op the tracks ahead of him and applied the air and managed to stop the train in time to prevent a serious accident.

The engine hit th? obstruction, which consisted of a number of rails not fastened to the tracks. One of the rails was forced tinder the pilot of the engine and had To be removed by jacks. The matter was reported to the authorities and when a number of special officers went to the place to investigate, they found other pieces of iron and steel nearby, which were evidently to be used. There was also evidence that the would be wreckers made a hasty departure, as one of the steel wrenches used in fastening the rails was discovered not far away. No clue has been found that will lead to the arrest of the persons who wanted to wreck the train.

It is the opinion of the officials that the attempt at the Cove on Saturday night, and that on Monday night were made by the same parties, as the manner of placing the obstructions on the tracks were similar. Several foreign laborers who were discharged because of their failure to attend' to duty are, suspected of placing the obstructions on the tracks.

CUMBERLAND VALLEY SECURES PROPERTY The Cumberland Valley Railroad Company will soon be in possession of all of the properties along the south side of Mulberry street from close to Front street to The property of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Purchases have been going on for years, either by officials of The company or persons who acted in the interest of the company and it will soon be in a position to lay another track along the street if desired. It is said tha.t this will be the next move as the company is seeking room for tracks to move its freight directly to the Pennsylvania freight tracks instead of sending long, heavily laden trains through Union Station. Within the last six weeks several properties have changed owners, passing into the hands of persons having a friendly feeling for the railroad company.

The old Evy property was recently sold by H. F. Eckinger, its owner, and the Monatb, Phelps Washington, April 22. In the House to day' Mr. Mahon (Pa.) asked unanimous consent to non concur in the Senate amendment whereby more than three million dollars had been added To the House bill appropriating some two hundred thousand dollars in payment of certain claims.

Mr. Underwood (Ala.) objected, urging thot its importance demanded consideration of the amendment by every member and not alone by a conference committee. The House thereupon resolved itself into Committee of the Whole House on the State of th Union, the Speaker resigning the chnir to Mr. Olmsted A portion of the Senate amendment having been read, Mr. Robb (Mo.) asked unanimous consent to recur to a preceding paragraph for amendment.

Mr. Underwood Swansea Cannon (Ilk), and others, made various objections and parliamentary inquiries whether amendment could be offered as each paragraph was read. is usual in Hnuse bills. Mr. Olmsted ruled that Mr.

Rob did not need unanimous consent but that hi amendment would nut be in until the entire Senate amendment had been read. He smH th in amendment usually embraced but a and other properties have been sold, while it is reported on good authority that negotiations have been closed for h6 triangular property of H. A. Kelker, bounded by Mulberry and Third streets and Meadow Lane, and the McCloskey property, on Mulberry street near Third. Tenders have been made for the Eckinger hotel property at Third and Mulberry streets, but no sale has been made.

Just what the company intends to do is not announced, but the construction of an additional track from near Front street so as to afford direct connection with the Pennsylva nia tracks near the gas company's plant is considered as certain. The i company also owns some property on Second street below Mulberry and it would not be a great surprise to see the Susquehanna bridge doubls tracked and important, railroad developments in the section bounded by Front, Mulberry and Third streets and Meadow Lane. AMENDMENT FROM THE SENATE COVERING ONE HUNDRED PAGES single paragraph, but this amendment was the longest that had ever come over from the Senate, covering more than one hundred pages and embracing many paragraphs. Its consideration in the Committee of the Whole House on the State of the Union wos a matter of rare occurrence, and there was no rule squarely upon the subject nor exact precedent, but for reasons which he gave he would hold the voluminous Senate amendment to be treated as a single amendment not untenable as each paragraph was reod, but every part to be open to amendment after th reading of the entire Senate proposition had been concluded. No appeal was taken from his decision.

The Stlfridge board claims were entirely rejected and small claim for a few hundred dollars was inserted, when on motion of Mr. Mahon (Pa.) The committee voted to rise and report the Senate amendment back to the House with the recommendation that it be not concurred in. Thereupon a conference committee was appointed. The omendnun: striking out the Sd fridge ord claims waw carried by the narrow majgin of two. is expected that the House will to morrow consider Senate amendments to the oleomargarine bid.

CAMERON AND OLIVER That Said to Be the Quay Slate for Governor and Senator. STONE CONFERS WITH FRIENDS It Appears That There Will Be "Something Doing" in Washington the Last ot This Week. Former United States Senator J. D. Cameron was in the city a few hours yesterday afternoon, but seems to have succeeded in escaping the interviewer.

He is understood to be the real choice of Senator Quay for Governor this year, but is said to have declined to allow the use of his name since the revolt in favor of Attorney General Elkin. It is also reported that Henry W. Oliver is the choice of Senator Quay as his successor in the Senate. On the arrival of Attorney Gen erol Elkin in Harrisburg yesterday he went at once to his office at the Capitol, where he found a number of friends who have been active in his political interests. During the afternoon a.

conference was held at which were present Mr. Elkin, Secretary Banking Commissioner Reeder, Senator Snyder, Superintendent Eyre, Deputy Attorney General Fleitz, Auditor General Harden bergh and Stale Treasurer Bornett. The situation was thoroughly canvassed, and all fell in with the idea of Mr. Elkin, expressed by him in the "Telegraph" last night, that he would, fight, and that his chances of winning are good. During the conference General Reeder said he would have the delegates from Northampton instructed for Elkin, and he was quite certain he could get the delegates from the majority of the counties in his Congressional district to range themselves on the Elkin firing line.

Attorney General Elkin, apparently the most cheerful State official "on the Hill" to day, was met on his way to the. Board of Pardons meeting by a "Telegraph" man, who asked him: "Did you sec the statement sent by Commissioner Durham to a friend in Washington to the effect that you will not have a delegate in the Philadelphia delegation?" "No, I did not see it to day," was the answer, "but they have been saying that all along; it is not new." "Are you going to make a fight for delegates in Philadelphia?" "I can't tell yet; it has not been definitely decided." "At the conference you held with your administration friends yesterday did you map out a plan of campaign?" "We have the best plan of campaign that was ever mapped out," Mr. Elkin said cheerfully, "one that Will win. It is absolutely air tight." And Mr. Elkin said it as if he meant every word of it in its most emphatic sense.

Governor Stone returned from the East last night, and later held a conference with The Attorney General, General Reeder and Superintendent Eyre, but all said it was of a personal nature there was no politics in it. Mr. Elkin will go to Washington to morrow with ex Senator Mitchell and will have a conference with Congressman Connell, after which it will be made public whe'ther Mr. Connell will be a candidate for United States Senator. It is said that Senator Quay's friends have been informed that a conference of the Quay people will be held in Washington to morrow to select a candidate for Governor, and that it will be attended by President Cassatt, of the Pennsylvania Railroad, and Henry W.

Oliver, of Pittsburg. It is positively stated that Mr. Cameron will not be a candidate under anv circumstances. There is a report in Pittsburg to the effect that Thomas S. Bigelow, the father of the ripper bill, will aid Mr.

Elkin in his fight for delegates in Allegheny county. Mr. Bigelow does not deny it, but intimates that there are some very strange moves on the political checker board just now. Some of Adjutant General Stewart's boomers for Governor have arrived in Pittsburg and claim that he would secure the soldier vote in everv port of the State. Insurance Commissioner Durham, who i.s at Hot Springs.

yesterday sent, word to a friend in Washington that the entire Philadelphia delegation To the Republican State convention will be against Mr. Elkin. Con pressman Connell. however, reiterates that he will stick by the Attorney General to the last, and he will fry to persuade Durham to change his position when he passes Through Washington next week on his wav home to Philadelphia. Senator Quay will leave Washington to morrow for Philadelphia, will then take a look at his Lancaster county farm, and later will go to his Beaver home, where things need straightening out.

The Quay farm in Lancaster county is not so far from Donegal, where Senator Cameron is now sojourning, and it is possible that the two gentlemen may meet by chance, the usual way. VAL.

93 ll AririlSHTJKG. WEDNESDAY EVENING APRIL 23, 1902. ESTABLISHED 1831. THE CREEK FIRST WORKMEN UNCOVER BONES OF OLD RESIDENTS R. CREASY RE ELECTED Erie Takes Democratic Convention From Harrisburg.

GUTHRIE AND HALL BOOMS AFLOAT Colonel Thomas Sat Down But Not Asa Member of the State Committee. Erie Gets the State Convention and June 23th is the date. Allured by the hope that things are coming their way many Democrats from all parts of the State flocked to Harrisburg last night, and to day to attend the meeting of the Democratic State Committee, which met to fix the time and place of the next State convention. There were present, all of the old war horses, the charleydonnellys nnd the tommy rvans, of Philadelphia; the gorgeous Fitzsimmons, of Scranton; the smiling and affable Hall, of Elk; the genial Heinle, of Centre; the young man under a cloud Stiles, of Lehigh; the ancient mariner, Haines, of York; the cautious Mutchler, of Northampton; the crafty Rilling, of Erie; the unctions Thornton, of Philadelphia; the foxy Short, of Clearfield; the sanctimonious Meek, of Centre: the sturdy Green, of Berks; the philanthropist, Hasson, of Venango; Col. A.

J. Spang ler, of Centre, fresh from a long sojourn in Florida; Thomas D. Greevev, 'of Blair; William W. Wallace, of Clearfield; John F. Ancona, of Berks; Wood Clark, of Indiana; Park Davis, of Easton; Representative Madison A.

Garvin, of Adams, and a host of others more or less identified with Democratic politics, and willing to be around to hold their pTates if there is the least sign of business at the pie counter. They stood around until to day noon and talked of the chances of a win next fall, and agreed that it all depends on the Republican party's nomination. The talk of who will be candidates for the Democratic nomination for Governor was not so frequent, as one might suspect, the inclination being not, to say any too much until the. sentiment of the people could be focussed on one particular candidate, and then to make a mighty hurrah for him. Those mentioned for Governor were Robert E.

Pattison, James K. P. Hall, George W. Guthrie, Vance C. McCormick, Judge Verkes, Judge Gordon, Chaun cey F.

Black, and others who are local favorites. The executive committee again met last night and took up the Dauphin county squabble, and Chairman Creasy was directed to report the finding at the meeting at noon, but keep it secret until then. The only gubernatorial boom that made, its appearance in the hotels wa one that was launched by J. Bur wood Daly, of Philadelphia, and bore the name, of Congressman J. K.

P. Hall, of Elk. Mr. Daly had badges printed: "For Governor, J. K.

F. Hall," and it was astonishing how popular they were. All of the Erie rooters wore, them, and the central county Democrats took to them, as did the majority of those in the northwest. Somebody pinned a Hall badge on State Chairman Creasy's back, and he was accused of playing favorites, when it was unwritten law that a State Chairman had no call to favor any candidate before the convention met. On the chairs in the Board of Trade Auditorium another boom appeared in the shape of an elaborate pamphlet extolling the virtues of George W.

Guthrie, of Pittsburg who wants to be Governor. Mr. Daly slipped between the padres of each Guthrie pamphlet a Hall badge, so that honors were even. Previous to the meeting the counties comprising the various divisions met and elected the following chairmen: 1 T. Z.

Minehart, Chambersburg. 2 R. E. Creswell, Cambria. 3 John B.

Keenan, Westmoreland. 5 D. J. Driscoll, Elk. 6 TI.

E. pyker, Union. 7 John G. Mcllenry, Columbia. A.

M. Palmer, Monroe. 9 Charles P. Donnelly. hariman Creasy called the convention to order shortly after noon and a call of the roll developed that every county but four was represented.

Mr. Creasy explained that the Dauphin county' name had been omitted, and Secretary Sherk read the resolution adopted by the State Executive Committee to the effect that the county of Dauphin had not conformed to' the rules laid down by the Executive Committee and its reprl sentative on the State Committee was therefore excluded. Colonel Thomas, who was in, the convention, called the yeas and nays on the adoption of the resolution passed by the State Committee, but lie was ignored, and the Colonel sat Mr. Ancona, of Berks, named Mr. Creasy for State Chairman, and Mr.

By order of the President General Funston has beien directed to cease further discussion of public questions. The President has telegraphed General Funston not to speak at th Middlesex banquet in Boston. Denver, April 23.
