NEWS OF THE RAILROADS

WE'RE FOR RICHMOND

Is the Expression of Works Board Members Arrangements Being Made.

The Fall Festival committee of the Commercial club was granted the use of certain streets for the first three days of October, for Fall Festival purposes by the board of works whic h voted to assist the Fall Festival in every way possible. The committee will use North A street from Eleventh to Seventh street to diBplay the products of Richmond manufacturers. This Ktretch will be covered with a large tent bo that unfavorable weather will not interfere with the display. The street will be closed to traffic. North Tenth street from Main to A will be closed at certain times during the festival for the horse show. South Seventh from Main to A streets will also be used for display. The board granted the committee permission to nse any street corners in the city for concession purposes, the receipts of which will go to the Fall Festival fund. The market lot on Fifth and South A streets will be used for keeping horses. "We're for Richmond" was the expression of the members of the board when the privileges were granted. "We want to boost the fall festival along." Following the action of the board works this morning, Atwood L. JenkinB, chairman of the Fall Festival committee on industries, stated that efforts would be made at once to interest the manufacturers of the city in a "Made in Richmond" exhibit. Letters to the manufacturers will be issued by the committee asking them to display their products in a tent to be put up in North A street from Seventh to Eleventh. This will be the first step in an elaborate plan which Mr. Jenkins has in mind. Success In Other Cities. ' He points out that exhibits of this kind have been a success in Anderson, Indianapolis and other Indiana cities. It would be a means of advertising the Richmond' manufactured goods, calling attention of the thousands of visitors to them and would also acquaint local people with the city's industries. , This city, Mr. Jenkins states, has more than a hundred concerns producing goods that could be displayed to advantage. To each company exhibiting its products space in the tent and electricity for power will be furnished free. He believes that a tent four blocks long filled with automobiles, pianos, tractors, farming implements, tools and so forth could be made so attractive that it would be remembered for a long time. A representative of the various companies could be on hand to explain the product and its use. All Should Exhibit. ; "With such an exhibit, we don't need any fireworks," he said, "to take

the people away during the evening. The tent would be lighted at night. And what we want is a whole tentfin of people rubbing elbows and joking. Then we'll have enthusiasm. I don't believe any manufacturer can afford not to exhibit his products." ' In addition to the "Made in Richmond" feature, Mr. Jenkins is planning an industrial parade similar to those in the past, in which each company has a float or some attractive method of displaying its goods. The success of this will depend upon the enthusiasm with which the idea is greeted when the committee's letter reaches the manufacturers. Most of the committees are resting during the hot weather, but a few are working out their plans. Plan Historical Pageant. Charles O. Williams of the educational committee reported that his com mittee had in mind a historical pageant to be given by the school children of the city, on the court house square. One thousand children will be trained and drilled to present scenes from the history of the country, beginning with the landing of the Mayflower, the signing of the Declaration of Independence, and leading up to the present time. An experienced person, who makes a' business of preparing such entertainments, will be obtained to train the children. In addition to this program by the city pupils specimens of the work done in the country schools will be on exhibit. Want Aeroplane Flights. General Chairman Will Homey says that the Festival committee is still negotiating with the Wright people, the Curtis people, and the Monoplane company of aeroplane flights. The eoin- . mittee has not been able, so far, to get satisfactory terms. One day of flights Is assured, and if arrangements can be made a machine will be brought here for the entire three days of the Festival.

Mrs . Harry Castator, 309 North

Eighth street, has received no recent ; news from Mrs. Lionel Tamasian of j Constantinople who was formerly Miss j Gertrude Dahlman of Richmond. At ! the beginning of the Balkan War Mr. ! Tamasian who formerly worked in i Richmond for the Gaar Scott company j and now holds a government position. ;

was anxious for the welfare of his relatives who are all Christians. As Mrs. Tamasian has written no word other than to announce a change in address Mrs. Castator believes nothing serious has happened to the family during the strife taking place near Constantinople.

RAILROADERS WAIT ON OFFICIAL NEWS The members of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen and other Pennsyh vania employes concerned in the threatened strike are waiting for word from the committee of the New York conference. The only Information which the local brotherhood is receiving is that obtained through press reports and the members have heard no direct word from New York. They are hopeful that the differences will be satisfactorily settled through the arbitration board. No meeting of the Brotherhood will be held until direct news from New York is received.

Taking Big Chances. It is too great a risk to depend upon neighbors or sending for medicine in case of a sudden attack of bowel complaint. In almost every neighborhood someone has died from cholera morbus that could have easily been saved had the proper medicine been at hand. Then think of the suffering that must be endured until medicine can be obtained. The safe way is to keep at hand a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. It has never been known to fail and has undoubtedly saved the lives of many people. Buy it now. It only costs a quarter. For sale by all druggists. (Advertisement)

VIEW OF EXCHANGE. "There is no reason to suppose that the Baltimore and Ohio railroad will lose anything by the large exchange of stock ownership and it is not likely that it will gain anything by the arrangement" said President Daniel Willard of the B. and O. in commenting on the transfer of $38,000,000 of Southern Pacific stock by the Union Pacific railroad for about $42,000,000 of B. & O. stock by the Pennsylvania railroad.

IS CITY REQUIRED TO MAKE PAYMENT?

t Thp rmpfitinn sis to whfthpr thp ritv

is now compelled to pay fire hydrant rental on streets where the water works company receives less than $49 per year for service to residents, came up for discussion before the board of public works today. Under the former contract of the water works company, which expired last year, the city was required to pay the company in such cases. The question arose over a petition for a water main on Southwest Fourth street from the National road to Southwest E street. Bond Gives Opinion. City Attorney Bond believes that the city should be guided in such cases by the old franchise, while Mayor Zimmerman stated that he Is against paying the amount. City Clerk Baltz Bescher interpreted the public, service commission law as requiring a public utility to provide adequate service for the -tire city. He believes that under i.uis clause the public service commission would compel the company to lay pipes on every Inhabited street in the city, without financial assistance from the city. The members of the board did not take any action on the petition this morning and will not until the question Is settled. Superintendent Howard Dill of the water works company will be called before the board Monday morning and the board members, Mr. Dill and the city attorney will discuss the matter. The members of the board will endeavor to secure for Frank Cronin, a contractor, money more than six months overdue for tarviating the National road, west. Mr. Cronin has made several attempts to collect the money but has been unsuccessful. Would Give Lot Away. IT. V. McLeland, a commission merchant on Fort Wayne avenue appeared at the meeting and asked the board to accept a small piece of land on Eighth street opposite Elm place and at the entrance to an alley running to North D street and free him of his assessment of $13 for sidewalk improvements. The board did not accept the offer but will visit the place. McLeland claims that the ground which is 25 feet long and triangular in form, Is being used for the entrance to the alley and that if he sells it for building purposes, the alley cannot be entered by large wagons.

Street Paving Project. Plans for bricking Fort Wayne avenue were discussed at the board meeting. The matter will be one of the first to claim the attention of the board next year. The Third street improvement was also mentioned and will be brought up with the Fort Wayne avenue matter as soon as the making of improvements starts. A new smoke stack has been placed on the green house at Glen Miller park. The stack cost $50.

ATTENDING MEETING. General Passenger Agent W. B. Calloway of the B. and O. Southwestern and C. H. and D., General Agent H. J. Rhein of the Big Four and Assistant General Passenger Agent A. L. Ellett of the C. and O. railroad are in Chicago attending a special meeting of the Central Passenger association. The meeting was called for the purpose of revising through fares. The agents passed through Richmond on their way to Chicago.

will be held in Chicago in October to perfect a permanent organization. USE INDELIBLE PENCILS. All telegraph operators on the Lackawana have been instructed to use indelible pencils Instead of ink in making reports of messages and to make carbon in place of letter press copies. The change is for economy in both time and expense.

ORDERS GONDOLA CARS. The Chesapeake and Ohio has just placed an order with the Ralston Steel Car company for 1,000 gondola cars of 115,000 capacity. They will be used on the Hocking Valley.

' lion dollars' estate left by Joshua B. Crawford, state their detectives in i New York are unable to locate Fred

find Lump if they really wanted to. "I Intended all along to have Lump here as a witness myself," said Mrs. Crawford, "and if they had kept quiet and acted decently about it he would nave been here."
