THEY ISSUE A STATEMENT Which Effectually Disposes of tile Base Accusation?Railroad Election To-morrow. The opposition to the railroad bond Issue has been characterized by an accusation that Is base, vile and without the slightest foundation and will be so held by everyone acquainted with the men whose character has been assailed In fashion most cowWdly. In effect the Htory is that County Commissioners McGregor and Hare and Air. Joseph Speldel are to receive $50,000 each In the event that th:i county subscribss $">00,000 10 the stock of the Uniontown, Waynesburg & West Virginia Hallway Coinnanv. N'u mt_>n in this community .stand higher for business and personal honor and probity than Messrs. McGregor, Hare and Spjidel, and It Is unnecessary that they enter a denial, for not one'person in a hundred would believe the, vile story. The fact that Mr. Speidef is now enjoyifjg an outing over the aaa is alone sufllcient to show how , ridiculous this accusation is, for if he were capable of sinking so' low would he not have remained here to assist by his personal inlluence in carrying tho bond issue? The story Is 'so devoid of reason from every view-point that it does hot require the following sworn statement from Messrs. McGregor and Hare to place them and Mi. Speldel, (who, of course, could not Juln in the statement) In their proper light before the community: There Is a malicious report being circulated to the effect that members of tho board of commissioners of Ohio county. W. Va., are to receive a consideration In the event that the Uniontown, Waynesburg & West Virginia Railway Company's ordinance passes at the election to be held Tuesday, July 1". 11*00. The undersigned, whoso names have been associated with the above, dcnouncs the same as being fnlso and slanderous, and on their oaths declare that they have never received nor been offered any consideration whatever, nor have they ever been approached by any one connected with, the proposed ordinance or railroad lor their vote or Influence. 11. 1'.

TRADES ASSEMBLY Meets in Special Session to Prepare Plans for Opposing the Railroad Ordinance. The Ohio Valley Trades and Labor Assembly held an open meeting yesterday, for the purpose of discussing ways and means of defeating me proposed subscription of 3500,000 to the proposed 'Uniontown, AVaynesburg &. West Virginia railroad. Few citizens opposed to the proposed loan availed themselves of the onnortunltv of Hoeaklncr nealrist tho road and Mr. John Barrett, chief engineer of the new road, was present for the purpose of answering questions concerning It. The assembly Is making a desperate effort to defeat the loan ordinance and circulars are being distributed promiscuously about the city, advising a vote In the negative. At yesterday's session. Mr. Barrett displayed a chart and pointed out the proposed route of the road. In answer to a question put to him by ex-Sheriff A. A. Franzhelm. lie said the distance from Unlontown to Mlllsboro was twenty-two miles. After speaking at some length on the advantages of the new road, Air. Barrett was Interrupted by Chairman Bauer, who stated that they were not discussing arguments In favor of the new road, but that they were there to discuss the best way to defeat the proposed loan. Mr. Barrett said the distance saved by the new road from the coke llelds would be ninety-four miles, taking the Baltimore & Ohio as a basis upon which to measure the distance. lie said the Pennsylvania nnd Baltimore & Ohio roads did not want the new road In their blackberry patch, and he could not blame them. Wheeling wanted cheap coke and the new road proposed to give it to thirn. Mr. Ilnrrfft wonf nn ?n ?nv thn? this section used annually nearly 2.000,000 tons of coke, and pointed out the great saving it would be to Wheeling manufacturers. He said the people of Pittsburgh did not want to see the road built, and that the newspapers there made misleading statements concerning the coal vein in Greene county, saying In effect,'that they not good. Greene county, he said, had 363,000 acres of coal, double the thickness of that of Pittsburgh. Mr. Barrett said he made the survey of the Pittsburgh. Connellsvllle & Wheeling road and was formerly one of the directors, and produced a charter to prove It. The charter was taken out In November, 1S9G. According to the laws of Pennsylvania you must begin actual work on a railroad within two years after the charter Is taken out. He said the charter was practically dead. Mr. Franzhelm here read the following telegrams In refutation of Mr. Bar "W\ C. Farnswortlv, UnrrlsburK. Pa:? 'Some people here claim we have no live, valid charter In Pennsylvania. Wire answer to Wheeling at once as to actual fact*. (Signed) EDGAR HOLMES. "Edmir Holmes. Wheeling. W. Vn "Your Pennsylvania charter Ih perfectly valid and good. (Signed) W. C. FARN8WORTII. Replying to this Mr. Barrett paid If they wore not on the ground to seo whether the work was being done or not. they would not know whether the charter was valid or not. John Devlno arose and said he wnfl Kind the promoters of the new road were given a respectful hearing, and that It seemed to him that there was no question that the road ought to bo built. Everybody favored the road, but as to the $500,000 bond Issue, that was J quite another matter. There were two j propositions, one to build a road to Wheeling and the other to build a road to Bellaire. One asked for $500,00(1 and the other asked nothing. He was surprised that at this late day they had discovered the fact that Wheeling was a great manufacturing town. He said the new road proposed to save nulljufacturers over 1350,000 a year or about 70 per cent in dividends. Ex-Sheriff Franzheim produced the ! following sworn statement In advocacy ' of the Pittsburgh, Connellsvllle & Wheeling road: "We, the undersigned firm of contractors will give bond with'any nurety company to build ft railroad from Wheeling, up Wheeling creek, to Majoruvllle, ready for rolling stock. tor JSOO.OOO.THE FERGUSON" CONTRACTING CO.. ' G3 Wall struct, New York. Mr. Franzheim said Wheeling f was bound to become, a manufacturing centre. .Statistics would show that the acreage of coal "hi Pittsburgh was fast diminishing. There was little coal left In that country. These riillroads were bound to come here without the taxpayers paying a subscription. i: Delegate O'Lcary said there were.ru- 1 mors circulating to the efTect that the ussembly had been bought by the Pennylvanla railroad. The assembly, he wished It understood, was not lighting one road and favoring another. He said they had not the money the other fellows had, but they would push the light to the bitter end. ^ Chairman Bauer, Delegates Doyle, Donahue, Tracy and Boes all wished It understood that they hail not "been bought, us it hud- been rumored, liut were as llrm in their stand agalnsi the , proposed subscription us they ajwaVs ' had been. Some of the members alleged they had been approached with money by the advocates of the? road, and had refused. One of the delegates went so far as to say a prominent city ofllcial had endeavored to buy his vote and influence. The chairman closed the meeting 1/y urging all those present to vote as they thought best, but he hoped they would vote against it. The assembly then went Into executive session to devise ways and means of defeating the loan ordinance. A BAD RUNAWAY, In Which Two Persons Were Injured, And One May Die. T. M. McConaughy, a farmer, living near Mt. Pleasant, Ohio, accompanied by his daughter, Miss Helen McCon- i aughy, a school teacher, was out drlv- I Ing yesterday afternoon, when the horse took fright at passing bicycles, and ran away, injuring both occupants.

The Topic of a Very Interesting Discourse Delivered by the Rev; C. M. Oliphant at the First Christian Church Last Night. The Rev. C. M. Oliphant. of the First ChrfsMnr. church. deliverer! a verv in teresting sermon to his congregation last evening, on the topic "Christian Honesty." Mr. Oliphant took hii text from the Romans 12:17. "Provide things honest in sight of all men." He opened his discourse with a quotation from Pope: "An honest man is tin noblest work of God." and said there were three L-r:ek words that are translated as "honest." By things honest we mean things fair and candid. Of course they also meant things '.hat were just. Honesty in its relation to truth was the first principal point.he dwelled upon." Honesty required that wi seek and investigate truth and especially that truth which pertains to our highest interest?the truth as It is in Jesus. We should seek the truth Impartially and courageously, and with a desire to make a personal application of it. The next principal in honesty that he dwelt upon was honesty as it is related to conviction. Ho said the Holy Spirit through the Word of God convicted people of sin and the righteousness and judgment to come. We should not cast aside these honest convictions; we should be loyal to them even though they put us In error. We should be willing to confess our error and when we are convinced of the truth, we should walk In Its way. ' He thirdly dwelt upon honesty as It is related to the church. He likened the church to a business co-partnership, and said the church was the spiritual tlrm and that the Christian was a member of that firm. Honesty required that a man be true to all the interests 3f the church just as a partner in a firm Is true to it. Fourthly, he dwelt upon honesty as a sympathy existing among church members. They should all cultivate a sympathetic-and fraternal spirit and practice sociability. The last point he wished to make, he said," was honesty as it is related to humanity at large. The scriptures teach us that we should be not only honest toward God but we should also be honest toward our fellow men. The influence of .* dishonesty among Christian people especially seems very bad. It Injured the church and kept people ;i\vay from Christ. It brought the cause of Christ Into disrepute. The influence .ot honesty among Christian people was good. It went a long way towards raising the dignity of the church in the minds of the public at large. It leads the people to appreciate Christianity and become Christians. Populist For Bryan. H1CHMOND." Va., July 15.?J.
