THE BRIGHT DAWN Of Great Activity in Railroad Affairs Seems About TO MAKE ITS APPEARANCE HERE. ma. . kit . . _ 1 it ?.

RAILROAD MEAN THAT IN THE EVENT OF THEIR SUCCESS THE CONNELLSVILLE RAILROAD WILL AT LAST BECOME A REALITY-TUB ROAD IS WANTED TO , GIVE THE BIO COMBINE ITS OWN LINE OF TRANSPORTATION FROM ITS CONNELLSVILLE COKE OVENS-THE OPINIONS OF EASTERN FINANCIAL JOURNALS. Great things for Wheeling: seem to be upon the eve of dawning. The Connellsville railroad, long a project and nothing more,"Side fair to become a reality, and at a time when the old-time local Interest in the project ifl asleep, If not dead. r It all depends upon the consummation of the tremendous amalgamation of iron and steel interests which has been given the name, The Federal Steel Comp&ay. It this great undertaking goes through, it seems assured that the Connellsville railroad will be built. And it will be built from Wheeling. The Moundsville route will not receive consideration. It is now well known that the Federal company promoters Intend to acquire the Cleveland, Lorain & Wheeling railroad, which runs between Cleveland and Wheeling (Bridgeport). With the acquirement of this road, so it is asserted in the east, will follow the construction of an extension of the line to the coke fields .thus giving to the Federal Bteei company, waat it uuuuuukui; desires, Its own transportation lines for coke from its own ovens in Connellsville field to Its own furnaces In the northwest The Federal has its own lines of lake freighters, which would take the coke from the railroad at Cleveland and transport It to Chicago, for use there by the present Illinois Steel Company (one ot the concerns to be amalgamated with others Into the Federal Steel Company), and for reshlpment there by the company's own lines of railroad to its other plants. Including those of the big Minnesota Steel Company THE WHEELING ROUTE. Of course the acquirement of the Cleveland, Lorain & Wheeling road Insures the selection of the Wheeling route to the Connellsville coke fields. ' Possibly, too, it would mean theacquire * - * ??-- *?" B. formln. znem 01 uiu ucciiub u>iuBu w - v.. u.... al system. If not, the Cleveland, .Lorain & Wheeling would necessarily have to conatruct its own bridge across the river from Bridgeport, and secure, at enormous expense, a right of way through or around Wheeling to the starting point of the extension that seems destined to be built through to ConnellsvlJle. So far, however, there has been no intimation that the Wheeling Bridge & Terminal is included in the gigantic deal now In progress*. So far as can be learned, there have been no effort*, so far, to go about the actual preliminary work of putting through the Connellsvllle railroad, and of bourse until the Cleveland, Lorain & Wheeling road is acquired, nothing on that line will be attempted. That the Cleveland, Lorain & Wheeling road Is likely soon to become a part of the great steel combination is being generally credited in the eastern financial prer-s. It is a fact that during the last year there have been many inquiries received la Wheeling from eastern Investor* for information as to Ihc tonnage handled in the Greater Wheeling district, and it Is believed these inquiries came fiom the financiers who have since partially brought about the big Federal Steel Company project. These inquiries were promptly answered, and the favorable shewing recently made In the Wheeling industrial dletrolct certainly encourage! nmmntf-ra. whoever they are. WHEELING PLANTS NOT IN IT. It has been suggested that the b!g ?teel combination would seek to acquire control of the several large irca and steel establishments In and about Wheeling, but diligent Inquiry falls to verify the rumor. The Federal Steel Company filed articles of Incorporation a few days ago with theeecrttary ot state of NewJersey. The company Is capitalised at $200,000,000, consisting of one million shares each of preferred and common stock, the par value being *100. The preferred stock is to receive non-cumulative dividends of C per cent annum, beginning January 3, 339U, to be paid before dividends shal ibe given to the holders of common stock. In case the corporation Is dissolved, the holders of preferred stock are to be entitled ta the par value of their holdings before the holders of the common stock receive anything. The incorporators are: Charles C. Cluff, Charles McVeigh and Benjamin \C Van Dyke, all of CO Grand street, Jersey City, where the office of the Corporation Trust Company, through which the Federal Steel Company was organized, is located. The Incorporation papers set forth that $3,000 has been paid in. The corporate office of the company will bo 60 Grand street, Jersey City. WHY THE ROAD IS WANTED. Of the Cleveland, Lorain & Wheeling proposed acquisition by the Federal Steel Company, the New York Times aays: The acquisition or tne cicveiana, I^oraln & Wheeling Railway by the new Federal Steel Company Js classed as one of the plana of the two-hundredmllllon dollar corporation which would go fur to complete Its system of transportation lines which are to play such na Importnat part In Its economies and profits. The Federal at present possesses the Chicago, I>ake Shore and Eastern, and the Chicago, Elgin and Jollet mads. J?y them It connects with and delivers lt? products at Chicago, Then the Duluth. Mesaba and Northern and Its boat service on the lakes enable the Federal to take Its ores from its own mines to the company's smelting works at South ChlcaKO and Milwaukee. Replies, the Federal owns In the ConnellsvlUe coke region one of tho largest colie-proiJucInK plant* In tho United States. With tho Cleveland, Lorain & Wheeling under Its control, the Federal could, with the other auxiliaries and at small cost short connections, link Its coko ovens with Its furnaces and mills over Its own tracks and by in* own water ayatema. A rumor thnt tho Pderal will nbnorb tho Carnegie work* wu pronounced by who Should poaaea the beat of Information. a* "poatitblo, but certainly premature." PLANK OP THE COM DINE. The New York Now* Bureau asya: Tha recent activity and strength of Cleveland, Lorain A Wheeling shares la Attributed by those Jn a position to know / to tb? probable Inclusion of this railroad In the far-reaching pUna of (he Federal Steel Company. It is stated tbat this road Is to form one of the various transportation lines which are to serve aa auxiliaries of the steel combination. The Federal now owns the Chicago, Lake Shore and Eastern and the Chicago, Elgin and Jollet railroads, whereby connection Is made with and Its products delivered to oil lines centering at Chicago. By the use of the Duluth. Mesaba and Northern railroad and its own lake service of boats, the Federal Company brings ore direct from its owa mines to the smelting works at South Chicago and Milwaukee. The company is Its own coke producer, ownIn? and operating one of the largest plants of mines and ovens in the C??nnellsvllle, Pa., coke region. With the control of the Cleveland. Lorain & Wheeling, supplemented by Its own fleet of lake steamers from Lorain, it would require only a small Investment for the Federal Steel Company to connect its coke ovens with its furnaces and mills by Its own. lines of transportation. The carrying-out of such a scheme, would, it is pointed out by the friends of the Cleveland, Lorain & Wheeling, add materially to the vulue of that property. Says the current issue of Bradstreet's: Details having been adjusted to the satisfaction of aid the interests concerned, the consolidation of the Minnesota Iron Company, the Illinois Steel Company, and the Elgin. Jollet & Eastern railroad, under the title of the Federal Steel Company, Js now In the way of becoming an accomplished fact. The Incorporation of the latter company was completed last week in the state of New Jersey, with a capital of 1200,000,000, divided equally into common and- preferred shares. The preferred stock is to be entitled to 6 per cent dividends,, noncumulative. The fize of the capitalization makes the coilcern the largest industrial corporation in the country, and in viftu- nt <1lvnp?liv nf th? mflnufnc luring and transportation Interests Involved, tho articles of Incorporation clothe the concern with a variety of powers to do business, which have led a portion of the press to conclude that tlie object aimed at Is a gigantic monopoly, which wM ultimately seek to controt the production of iroff. steel and coke in the United States. There is, however, little real foundation for such fanciful conclusions. The end sought is tho consolidation of specific properties on a more profitable basis through the economies resulting from the union under one management of aJ-1 branches of the raw material to the sale of the finished product. The large capitalisation of n.iw StPol PflmTllinV IlllOWS considerable latitude for the acquisition of other similar properties, and now that the matter Is actually approaching consummation It is practically certain that the deal wiJh result in a corporation of enotmous capital, and with one of the most extensive plants for the pfoductiir. of steel, not only in the country, but in the world. 1HDICATI0N8 MULTIPLY Tlial 11)0 Street Hallway Coutolldatlou will so Through. Indications continue to multiply that there is soon to be a consolidation under one management of the Wheeling Railway Company and the over-theriver electric JJne. As is well known, a meeting of the stockholders of the former corporation is to be held here on Saturday, October 1, for the several purposes outlined in the call, but which the company's officers and directors decline at this time to explain for the public's benefit. It has even been said that the amalgamation of the over*the-rlver line Into the Wheeling company has already been practically put through. It is cited that Messrs. J. lv. Jolly and Frank Jelly, who havo been identified with the management and control of the over-t'he-rlver line, have left Bridgeport, permanently, it is said.

In some manner, certain plans of the promoters have teaked: out. For Instance, It is said that the run of the Bridgeport cars will be extended out the pike west of Bridgeport; that the Bfeflftlre cars will enter Wheeling via Bridgeport, Just as the Martin's Ferry and Bridgeport cars now make the circuit of the up-town loop, arxi that the service on the the other aide of the river, between Martin's Ferry and Bellalre will be maintained. It Is stHv being intimated that the Moundsvllle line will figure in the coming consolidation, but the story Is yet incapable of confirmation.

CHURCH MUST RECRUIT LARGELY FROM THE SUNDAY SCHOOL. i nonoornnt'Q flfTJC. DAY SCHOOL THE CHURCH CANNOT-PRO^PjEK-SUNDAY SCHOOL ATTENDANCE SHOULD NOT CEASE ,WITH THKPAS3INQ OP VOL'Trfi-THE SPEAKER'S CONCLUSIONS^ ;'fL. Sunday morning^, at the First Christian church, the pastor, Rev. C. M. Oliplwbfr .preached on the inspiring topic, "The Sunday School," iti the presence of a large conjugation, tn which were many Sunday School workers of other denominations. A synopsis of Mr. Ollphant's address Is as follows: , The Sunday School is not a huge ecmi<n?ninoH And directed bv man's authority, but an Instrument of God for instructing people In the way of the Lord. It Is difficult to And lt? parallel In history. In England, Canada and the United States there are over 100,000,000 English speaking people. Over 52,000,000 of the people of the United States are Sunday School workers. The sight of 2,000,000 people crossing the Rod Sea Is not to bo compared to the multitudes now instructed in tho Sunday School. All thes study the Bamo lesson. This has the effect of unifying the people. The value of tho Sunday School is Been In the following facts: 1?It Is -the church studying the Bible. It Is the church nursery whore children are trained In the "nurture and admorritlon of the Lord." Youth Is the seed time of.life. Eighty-four per cent of the converts to Christ are from the Sunday School and these are for the most part Intelligent Christians. A large Sunday School makes a large church. This fact needs to be more fully appreciated than It It. Irresponsibility, Ignorance of the needs and Indifference must be removed before the church awakens to the Importance of the Sunday School. 2?The Sunday School teaches the religion of Christ. The pupils are Impressed with the power and the beauty of the Christ as Savior and Friend. The principles of His holy religion are taught and thus people are brought back to God. Were all In sympathy with the purpose of the Sunday School, there would be better appreciation. Like 'the artist, who was looking with intense interest upon a picture, and In reply to the question why ho looked so long upon the picture, said, "Had you mine eyes you would be ravished us I am." 3?The Sunday School is a teacher of morality. The liquor dealer was aske<4 tfUtt lio ti'nntful n Hnnrlnjif a^hnnl hnv tn I work for him In preference to others, seeing he was a free thinker. He sai<l that the Sunday School boys were taught to be honest. This testimony, coming from this unexpected source, shows how the Sunday School Is viewed by people on the outside. The first President Harrison was a Sunday school man. His gardener at Washington asked him to purchase a dog to protect 1'he fruit from bad boys. He replied: "Better set a Sunday School teacher over the boys." The morality taught by the Great Teacher Is the kind taught in the Sunday School. 4?It Is a teacher of good citizenship, i Here is taught the two-fold lesson of : duty to couptry and duty to Qod. i Regard tor the Lord's day Is emphai sized and our country cannot prosper j without this. "Rfghteouaress exalts n , nation." All righteous principles needful to a broader, better and more Christ-like citizenship nre here taught. 5?It is the solution of the social problems of the day. The Golden Rule Is applied. The Christian Idea of brotherhood takes the place of the sole concern of pay and profit Libertinism with all its evil influences, can be seen In the Divine mirror of Christ, who exposed It and taught the highest liberty. Habits of temperance, Justice and charity Are taught. Tho highest duties toward one another are taught in the Sunday school. 0? Promotes the cause of Christian missions. The lessons taught nre largely mlsslonar}'. The children's day exercises lend to a larger missionary spirit. The children are taught to be cheerful givers to help those in need of gospel. Their oympaimea reacn oui 10 tnc uuermost part of the earth. The church of the next century will not be annoyed with the antl-mlsskwiory spirit since sti* members will be those who will have taught the fact that the gospel I* all. In the future the Sunday School will have the following: thing*: 1?Better accommodations and equipment. 2?The teachers will be better trained for their worlc. H?The superintendent will devote hi* exclusive time to his work and will draw his salary as does the pastor. The church will fool that money expended la this way will I"* a wise invMimeot A more Intense interest nnd more loyal support on the pnrt of th#* church. The age limit Sunday School attendance disturb? many. Many ore disposed to think It unwise to attend Sunday School af<tcr twenty years <>f age. The Rlble knows no aire limit In the work. We should be In the Sunday School as long n* In church work. Are you In (his work? If not, why not? THE SI.V OF AVARICE Discussed nt Thomson Church by the Pastor, Rev. C. E. Clarke. At the Thomson M. E. church Sunday morning, the pastor. Rev. C. E. Clarke, preached an effective sermon against the sin of avarice. His theme was "A subject of greatest Interest to Wheeling," though the matter of the sermon was general nnd not local, as the theme might suggest. Rev. Mr. Clarke's text was from Luke 12, 15. nnd his remark.1 lr? substance, were as follows: A man's Ilfo consisted not In the abundance of the things which he possessctli. In the age referred to In the text, the city was full of schemers; prisoners were in the cnstle, the army was full of treason. The contmntB of life were bitter. Twenty villas grouped about the arch of Constantino represented the wealth of the nation, while the masses lived In abject poverty. This wealth had been stolen from foreign nations by ....... |U uuuic IUC rind then refused them a. share of iu benefit*.* The army was nn organised form of brlKnn?ln?re. If a mnn had ffonluii ho would marshal nn nrmy, Invade a weak country and "bring homo lt>? treasures. Horrible deed* wore done simply to gratify greed. Avarice 1* worse than blight and mildew; but happy the man who makes money a chariot upon wiilch he mount? to able accomplishment*.' In this day men are charmed with the irlltti r of wealth. They are not so anxious to create wealth nn to transfer ! . from other* to themselves. In the d.iys of Rhnkespearo there were mi light houses; men would build fltvs on the bhore to fluJdo tho ?hlp from tho tog. " \ "? y;.- "n"; Bornetinfes robbets would build fires to I lead them to wreck and plunder. So | uui cuuictSmcs ita4 th*lr fellows Jo to ambush to deprive thftn of their property. As robbers waited in the Alpine po5w to rob the commerce between Italjf nml Germany, so senators and ruler* I sometimes lie in wait to rob the people. Christianity encourages the possession of property. But man abuses God-giv- , en privileges. He gives a rich harvest und we become gluttons; he gives vines and grapes ?nd we become drunkards. He gives ability to accumulate and we become nrfscrs. It is intended that we shall be refined ! by efforts after the good things of life; I we prepare clothing, houses nnd fuel for winter and so develop foresight. When we lebor He increases the harvest; lm| proves the fruit and multiplies our comfort*. and every act of labor Inspired | by anticipation may be as truly an act of worship as prayer. Angelo sang .?on1 nets to God; Handel communed with Him nnd Milton dipped his pen in HeaJ ven. Every smith, every carpenter and [ every laborer may be a co-worker with Him who was the first farmer, the first I dealer in coal, wood ana iron: witn ivm who bullded J Jj?* world-ship. Khrathed with granite and sailing the sea of I space. ! When men love only the monger that cornea from labor they deny themselves ! society, culture and one hour to feed thtir souls. The Romans re-built their temples no that to enter the temple of honor one must pass through the temple of virtue, and when the privilege I could he bought Rome was Rome no more. Blakie said neither money, power nor liberty Is needful, but without manhood we are damned. Agaasiz said: "I have not time to make monej', life is not long enough to do your duty and get rich." A Roman said to Eplctatus, "I nm worth a million sterling." He replied "You have silver vessels, but earthenware reason, principles and oppetltles. My mind a kingdom Is." The greatest men have been rich without money; Lincoln and Grant were rich In deeds. Lowell end Emerson In thought: John Howard and Clara Barton In beneficence. , Our Master was rich and for our sakes, He became poor. We may be rich in sen-Ice rendered to Him ivhethier rich or poor. The best of wealth is to be rich toward God. LAST TENT SERVICES Bv the Salvation Army Were Held Sunday?Now in Hub HalL Ensign Kemp and the Quakfer City band, of the Salvation Army, conducted fine meetings yesterday, the first being at the county jail, at 0 o'clock, when the prisoners were greatly interested and * * -1 *' ?n.i?hof uesireu mat nicy rciuiu <? service.

Q, The re-conquest of the natives Is im- flr possible until after years of the most ^ cruel warfare." He also expressed the hope that the th islands would not become absolutely in- In dependent, because it was certain that 10 dissensions would occur which would ^ result In Incessant strife, and a lapse .sv Into barbarism and the natural lndo- til lence of the tropical race. The only Wl hope, -the archbishop declared, was that fr x strung western power would Intervene to now. Delay was dangerous, because the <* people are Jntoxlcatod, vain glorious and s(i restless. W He said It was undeniable that the pr religious orders must go, because the tvhole people had determined to abolish them, now that they were able to render oo their retention Impossible. He lays the a' chief blame upon the Dominicans, Augustine and Franciscan receletans. 8l| the richest orders, and next upon the ca Benedictines and Capuchins, which are (h jf less Importance. The Jesuits. Archbishop Dozal says, are comparatively m blameless. He added that the rival or- th iJers. quarrel among themselves, p? intrigue, act unworthily and slander their opponents, thus Increasing their general disfavor. ?The provincials, who are approxlm- P' ately equal to arch-deacons, are main- cj ly responsible.

P, The total number of Spanish priests gn In the Philippines before the war was ~~ about ono thouaand. but lately every ^ departing steamer has taken fifty or a ? hundred of them away, and now barely Ave hundred remain. A native priest privately etated to the correspondent that the reason the arch- T bishop hopes for the expulsion of the frlarly orders la that they haVc grown Pr too powerful for him, and that he wishes , to atrengthen himself. Several reaponslble Spaniards assure the correspond- < ent that they would refuse to remain ar here if Spain were reinstated In control of the islands.
