The soctions were sub-divide d three loco- motives attached to cach. The distance of five miles is almost & loop, and the graduuzlfi feet to the mile. At this point theBozeman tunnel is being con- structed, which will obviate the necessity of this difficult and expensive lift.

Hill, as president of the two roads, and to consolidate the two interests. The object of this is to give the Philadelphia & Reading and Balti- more & Ohio roads an antrance to Bos- ton over the New York & New England road, Premdent Gowan, of the Phila- delphia & Pittsburg road, made a traffic contract with the Pennsylvania, Stonington & New England, agreeing to give 1,000,000 tons a year for eastern consumers. General Manager Swan said this step meant immediate com- petition of the Pennsylyania, Stonington and New England road, which required only 8300,000 to complete 78 miles, and T A AT Storm-King bridge across the Hudson | river, which would make an-air line from Boston over the New York and New Englaud road to Harrisburg, Pa,, which would shorten the distance from east to west over 100 miles and furnish the east with coal and cotton without break of bulk.

LABOR'S GRIEVANCES, Prominent Workingmen Before the the Senate Committee, New York, September 7.—Before the senate labor committee to-day, Jarrett, the first president of the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel workers, resumed his testimony. He said the convict labor system was very detrimen- tal to the interest of the working classes. The labor of convicts might be properly employed in constructing better roads throughout the country. The coal mines of Pennsylvania were in a great measure owned by railiond companies, which circumstance the wit- ness thought was very dangerous to the interests of the public. The condition of 90,000 coal miners of Pennsylvania, was pmnblu and miserable in the extreme. Their wages were too low, they were sub- ject to the truck system almost univer- sally and in consequence their utter de- moralization, They spert at least one half their earnings in drink. The press of New York was subsidized by large combinations of capital. This foeling was gaining ground throughout the coun- try. In regard to the prctection and tariff questions, he thought the press was bought, not only by the monopolies of this country but by capitalimporte | trom abroad, William Martin, of Pittsburg, secretary of the Amalgamated Association of Iron and 1 Workers, was the next wit- witnes; He gave the committee an idea of internalarrangements. Martin thought | uld be intro- s on all ques- a system of arbitration duced in all great industr tions which arosc betw and employes, and that many of the dif ficultics resulting from the present rela- tions could be avoided, William Weike, a puddler of Pitis- burg, who is also president elect of the Amulgamated asso@ation, and John Da- vis, a puddler of Pittsburg, also testitied before the committee, Davis thought the establishment of postal savings banks would be a great benclit to the working classes. - — Tammany for Harmony.
