JPtxra Meat. Various plans have been proposed lately whereby all slaughtering done in the city shall be dene under one roof, or at least In one location of the city. It has been thought that the only way in which complete government Inspection could be obtained would be by confining all butchering to one building- As it is, however, Richmond can have adequate inspection of all meat prepared here without causing a single butchering establishment to move. Practically all the butchering dor.e in the city today is done in a district of one square about the Abattoir company. And inasmuch as Dr. Wagoner, the government meat inspector, has assured us that it may bo possible to persuade the government to provide him with an assistant, it can readily be seen that as soon as council passes an ordinance requiring all meat sold in Richmond to bear the government inspection mark, we are assured of pure meat. The butchers of the city are not objecting to government Inspection. On the contrary they are willing for any inspection that will protect th?ir patrons, for by protecting their patrons they are but protecting their own trade and incidently their own conciences. Our butchers are not of the Armour type, rapacious, money-mad monsters, in business to set the almighty dollar in anyway possible, whether fair or not. They are uot fighting government inspection a3 the meat trust did last year. They are willing for government inspection and have signified their willirgness. But what they object to Is tiny ordinance requiring them to ' abandon 4 their present slaughtering houses In which they have invested, collectively thousands of dollars. They see no need of being compelled by law to vacate their present places of business when they can have ?-overnmeut inspection without moving. And their stand is correct. What we want and what evety other Richmond citizen wants Is pure meat, and if we can get it without forcing our butchers at great expense to provide a new butchering place, so much the better. With the butchers wiping there is now nothing in the way of government inspection of meat.. Our local supply of me?.t will o.,ly be sold under the government inspection mark, and it will be an impossibility for any other kind of meat to be ' shipped in from outside cities.

FLOODS BLOCKADE FREIGHT. The local Pennsylvania freight officials have received a number of freight embargoes, restricting the acceptance of freight for various points Jn Ohio, West Virginia and Kentucky, owing to the flood, conditions which are prevailing in portions of " those states. The Pennsylvania is' affected In western Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio. Other roads suffering are the Xorfolk and Western," Chesapeake and Ohio, Southern Ohio, and the Ohio Central lines. The Southern Ohio is suffering to a greater extent than any other. i

and twenty-five miles for the southern end will be sent August 28. All the steel for the main line will be seventy pounds to the yard, except that which is laid along the Erie and that will bo ninety pounds to the yard, as both lines ,will use this part of the track. The last twenty-five miles shipped will be used in building the line from Union City to Richmond, which President Bracey now says he will build as a feeder to the main line. A steam shovel and twenty flats have been bought in Chicago and they will be sent to the gravel pit as soon as they arrive here.

It will require 3,000 ties to the mile and there will be forty-two miles of track between Bluffton and Huntington and Portland and "Union City and

Roadmaster Mulligan, with headquarters in. Peru, is at the present time investigating conditions at the cut, and hopes to arrange some means whereby traffic will not be blocked again by the sliding dirt. The cut has given the .C. C. &. L. officials much trouble since the road was first built. . TALK OF DOUBLE TRACK. Rumor has it at the local station that a new double track system will be installed on the Indianapolis division of the 'Pennsy" between this city and Indianapolis. It is -said the idea Is to double track all the main lines between Pittsburg and western terminal points. - ? , MAY OVERHAUL CITY -TRACKS. The local street car company is laying plans for a complete overhauling of the tracks and equipment in this city during the coming summer. All tracks will be lowered or raised with the street level, such as tho case demands, while all old ties will be torn out and a new and almost compleite foundation w-ill be laid. The street car company has not, for reveral years completely overhauled its lines from one end to the other, and the move will be welcomed. NEW PLACE FOR COUFFER. A statement has been made by the press of other cities that U. G. Couffer, chief clerk to the freight traffic manager located In Pittsburg, has already been elected to head the new freight tariff department of the Pennsylvania, but local freight officials stated yesterday that such is not the case, as no person had yet been assigned to the duties f this department. Rumor has It locally that Mr. Couffer will head the bureau, however w-feen established. The new bureau will only supervise the printing of the ta-'ffs, private contractors doins C well known among local railrv .vials, having made several trips to the city. He was here but

last week, conferring with local freight officials. ' : " -

Xenia and Morrow, Ohio, Pennsylvania trains between Columbus and Cincinnati Thursday night and yesterday came by the way of Richmond. Columbus and Cincinnati trains were all several hours late caused by the circuitous route they were ' required to take. Passenger conductors coming through Richmond state that the territory all along the Miami river bottoms is flooded while the same conditions prevail at' Cincinnati. - TODAY IS PAY DAY. '

Today .will be pay day at the local Pennsylvania station as the pay car will arrive in this city from Cincinnati and distribute the checks due the .. various local Pennsylvania employes. , Indianapolis division employes in .this city will also receive their pay... The . "Pennsy" men, however, will not . have any the jump on the G. R. & I. men. Notices have been posted at the local station that the pay car for that, road will also arrive this afternoon and hand out the monthly pay role in this city. The Pennsylvania car may double back . to Cincinnati this evening, returning here tomorrow morning, and leaving for the northward points on the Richmond division Monday morning. Such was the schedule the last trip. MEETINGOF TRACTION MEN. A meeting was held at Connersville Thursday night which was attendby all those men directly interested in the construction of the new MiltonConnersville traction line, the survey for which has already been made. The line has been on paper for some time but it is the idea of the directors to begin the work 'as soon as warm weather comes, and if the finances now promised are forthcoming. Establishment of the road will give Richmond and Connersville an electric connection although it will be in a roundabout circuit. Just what action was taken by the promoters last night is not known. - With the building of the Columbus, Greensburg and Richmond traction line, which is yet on paper, Richmond and Connersville will have a direct

traction connection. The developments:.of the latter named road have not been beard from in the past few

weeks, and just what will be done Is not known. Local men who say they are willing to form a stock company for the promotion of the road, have as yet heard nothing from other interested parties in Greensburg and Columbus, Ind., and therefore plans are at a standstill.

Indianapolis. March 15 The close political friends of Governor Hanly are urging him to abandon any idea he may. have of calling the members of the state legislature together in special session. Two or three of his friends, it is understood, have talked to him very plainly in the last two or three days. While it is known that the Governor is much dissatisfied with the appropriation' bill, it is not believed now that he will insist in bringing the legislature back to the city. It has been pointed out to the executive that he himself is largely responsible for the condition of the appropriation bill. In its extraordinary haste to adjourn Monday, the house accepted the senate amendments to the bill without objection. Among these amendments was an item of $25,000 to be expended in making Indiana known at the Jamestown Exposition. It is this item that is particularly odious to Governor Hanly, and It has been feared he would veto the appropriation bill on account of this contemplated expenditure of State funds. When the appropriation bill reached the house Monday it was at a time when the Republican leaders were about to bring about an adjournment. Governor Hanly's own friends in the legislature watched the clock while

the amendments were being read. It

was understood generally that the ear

ly adjournment of the house had the sanction of the Governor.

The closest personal friends of the

governor declare they do not know

what he proposes to do about the bill. Men who believed they knew the governor like a book confess they are up

in the air. They have given up trying to handle him.

Some of the more intrepid of the

Governor's friends have been pointing

out to him some of the direful results

that a special session of the legislature would bring about.

To begin with, they have pointed

out the bad business judgment of call

ing a special session of the Legislature at an expense of from $80,000 to $100,000 to save an item qt $23,000 that crept into the appropriation bill

as the result of the Legislature's

haste in bringing its session to a close.

"Besides that," said a friend of the

Governor, "he has been told that the Legislature in special session would probably pass the Farber insurance

bill over his veto, and would also re

peal the metropolitan police law."
