RAILROAD MATTERS.

KASSAM Crrv, Mo., November 18.—It is
cot thought here that there is any danger
of a war on passenger rates, as apprehended
! in a (.'hit ago dispitch, in consequence of
I the recent lining of the Hannibal and St.
Joe Railway Company. These tines have
l>een imposed because of irregularities
uni in it ted by the agent of the company at
the branch office in West Kansas City, in
I violation of the passenger agents' agree
ment. the la-<t offence for which charge was
preferred having been committed on the
sth of November. Although the tines
upon the Hannibal have been heavy, it is
considered that there is no likelvhood that
their effect will bring on a passenger war.
The matter involved is not of enough im
portance. and the roads here have probably
had sufficient experience in passenger wars
in the last three years to satisfy them for
«ome time.

CmixKLMYnu, Pa., November 18.—The
railroad recently completed by the H. C.
Prick Coke Conipany Iim jtwt Men leased
to the Vanderbilt people for a terru of
year?. It (extends from Itrad ford to Sum
mit minpj, and through a valley wrhich Ls
for miles one continuous string of coke
went. The value of this acquisition to the
Vanderbilt road can hardly be estimated.
It gives the latter a coveted entrance into
the oven-lined valley stretching from
Bradford to lit. Pleasant, a distance of
twelve miles, and to the undeveloped coal
fields between the latter place and Latrobe.
i Under this new arrangement three trunk
lines will run to the very mouth of fche
Prick ovens, to solicit the trade of that
j tirm.
The two old railroads will not stand by
and see Vanderbilt enter the region with
out a struggle, and a railroad war of no
small dimensions may be expected in the
spring. Already it "ia intimated that the
Pennsylvania road, which has just com
pleted the construction of a branch road
from Kverson to Summit mines, there to
j connect with the Prick road, will kick
against the plans of Prick and Vanderbilt
The development u (Uie VJ**
Liuaomr
(Ml
[ continues to attract attention. The Snow
Shoe region has ncen known as coal pro
' ducing for more than forty years, but it
was not until 1V>7 that any "amount of
coal was supplied. Last year 3,000,000 tons
1 were shipped, but 1,000,000 could have
been had the railroad facilities been suf
ficient. Mr. Vanderbilt, early in the year,
began a systematic attempt to get a foot
hold in the bituminous regions, and took
ii^to counsel Senator Wallace, of Clearfield,
and ex-Senator Pearle, of Lock Haven,
who made purchases for him to the extent
of st.uoo acres, in the heart of the Clear
field regions.
It ia well known that Mr. Vanderbilt
! acquired the charter for the Pine Creesand
Jersey Shore road from the Heading rail
I road last year, and that be has been rapidly
| pushing that road from the mines of Tioga
I county in the direction of Williatt.-«port.
This road will tap the Philadelphia and
I Krie and Jersey Shore and it is at this
j point that the Clearfield and Western be
gins. It runs through Clinton and Clear
Held counties, directly through the Snow
shoe district, and up Clearfield creek and
[ Little Clearfield creek, and tLe to Ptinxsu
I tawny, in Jefter>on county, or southwest
' to Joiinstown. on the Pennsylvania road,
where connection will be made with the
ttHltlN»»re ;»n<J Ohl* Use
I from the Connellsville coal region. This
1 road runs through the richest coal lamia iu
i Clearfield. While this will affect the ton
i nape of the Pennsylvania railroad some
what, Mr. Vanderbilt's line will have sutti
I cient business from his own coal lands if
i he ships anything like 3,000,000 tous [>er
annum, to make it pay largely as a> rail
; road, without trespassing on the business
| of the Pennsylvania. The object of Mr.
Vanderbilt and General Magee is undoubt
j edly to get control of the bituminns coal
j market of eastern New York.
Meantime the Pennsylvania Kail road has
; not been slow to perceive the advantages of
the Clearfield coal region. Though it has
I already a solid foothold iu that section, it
ha& lately been building a road from its
| main line, this side of Altoona, through
hell's Gap southward into some virgin
mineral properties in the southern and
western part of Clearfield county. This
line will he Sorter 4he tide than Vander
bilt's.

I'akkkrsktr<>, November 17.—Nothing of
special interest in Circuit Court to day,
was culli'<1, but on tTie application of the
prisoner was continued until the nest term
of Court. The trial -A Joseph •Paull, for
the murder of Heubon Marquis, Is set for
Monday, and Judge Uckson gave notice to
the counsel that they must oe ready for
trial on the day set
The recent occurrence of the tragic scene
which resulted iti the death of poor
Marquis, who was shot down like
a dog in the streets >f Parkersburg, makes
the case more than usually interesting. The
accused lias many frivnds who sympathize
witli him, and while they do not approve
the bloody deed, yet feel that there is some
excuse for Paull, as he alleges that the one
who fell by his hand had involved his fami
ly circle and brougilt disgrace upon him
self and children, ami wrecked all their
fondest hopes for tbtxfnture.

iMRn America held a convention and
an exhibition of their manufactures, ma
chinery and processes. The courention
was held for the purpose of organizing an
association of the bottlers, and this object
was effected in tbe formation of 'Tbe
United Bottlers' Protective Association."
Representative^ of the trade were present
from all parts of the country, Chicago,
Cincinnati, Boston and Rochester being
the cities most largely represented. A
number of interesting addresses were made
upon various topics connected with the
bottling industry, its growth, the im
proved processes, adulterations, etc. The
convention has called" the attention
of the public to the immense stridesjthi*
business has male within a few years and
the wonderful extent it now has. Ameri
cans are fast cultivating a taste for "soft
stutl'," and it promises eventually to take
the place of stronger drinks. A conversa
tion your correspondent had with a gentle
man connected with the large bottling es
tablishment of H. \\\ l'utnalu <k Co., of
New York, will give your readers some idea
of the growth of this business: He said:
"The bottling business lias experienced a
wonderful growth within the last decade.
Ten years ago I do not supj>oae there was
over 200 bottling establishments in all tbe
States and they were very insigniticent. At
present there are not less than 10,00»ditTer

of various kinds. Many of them. dt> a
small trade, but some carry on business «»n
a large scale. The aggregate capital en
gaged is not less than '-',000.000. !•>' the
improved machinery for tilling, corking
ffud wiring bottles the output of all the es
tablishments has been greatly enlarged.
By the old method of tilling by hand and a
funnel, it took eight minutes to till it,
bottles, now the same number can be tilled
in iifty-six seconds. A modern machine
will put a barrel of beer> into bottles in
eight minutes. By the improved washing,
machines two men in three nanra can waeh
more bottles than'any establishment will
use. In the whole trade there is used 'A
000.00$ gross of battles of various siaes
every year. The business is divided in
beer, ale and i>orter bottling, and tbe bot
tling of carbonated beverages."
Another gentleman whose name it would
not do to give, divulged some of the secrets
of tbe busines?. He. said: ' Almost all,
the supposed foreign natural mineral
waters are manufactured in this country.

The A.sM>ciation had a long talk about the
Customs Department letting,in foreign Ap
pollinaris water free of duty, ft was shown
to Secretary Windoni this w*s a manufac
tured water, and he jmposcda duty of $2.50
a case upon it. Secretary Folger removed
this and allowed it to come in free as a
natural water. The Association adapted
a resolution declaring that the AppoUina
ris »ater was a mauufiwtuied article,
declaring their sympathy for the
Boston ami New York manufacturers,
in their tight against the importers sad re
questing the relevying of the taritl'. Tbey

iCommission bills efexptnte for their rvcent

There ie talk that nine of the bills will be
rejectee! or that Congress- will call tor an
investigation of their ex{>enditures. Yonr
correspondent callei" at the Trwsury
Department this morning and aokeiT
the Secretary what action the De
partment had taken' on the ftills.
He said h* (tad referred them to Mr. John
sob, the Commissoner of C'nstoms, who
would make report to him. Mr. Jobnion
said afterwards that he hud returned the
bills to the Secretary with his comments
thereon, but refused" to say what advice he
had given. "None of the bills have been
approved or disapproved *r yet," said Mr.
Jnnnson. "The Secretary •♦imply asked fo»
my opinion,and what I gave him was in con
fidence. After the Secretary looks over the
accounts he will refer them to the First
Comptroller, and then they will come back
to me. I shali have the tinal say. Of
course, I shall not approve anything that I
do not think is right, but I don't think
men ef the high character of those compo
sing the Taritn'ommisoion should l>e held
down to a strict line of economy. They
occupied responsible positions, and. were
expected to maintain tne dignity of officers
of the Government in holding such posi
tions."' The accounts will probably reach
Mr. Johnson for tinal adjudication in
the course of a week. A gentleman who
has seen some of the hills ol the Commis
sion fa\> that the bill for hotel expense'*
of tlie C< mmission at the West Kitd Hotel,
Long Itranch. was $<i,0U>'>, and that their
legitimate bill could not have amounted to
more than half that sum. At the Victoria
Hotel, New York, where they wtntt for a
two days'picnic, their bill came to *.11I.
One hundred and twenty-live dol
lars of this was lor a lunch on
a Government steamer that took
theiu uown the hay. '1'he President of
the commission made arrangement* for
tlitm in ltoston at the Hotel Vendome at a
stipulated price. It is claimed that the ex
tras on their hill there more than treble the
price contracted for; while on their travels
the extras were all "lumped" under an in
nocent heading, so that it will probably be
impossible for any official at the treasury
department to detect the frauds.

Secretary Folger to-day declined to re
