THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY " 23, 188V 6 MONSTERTURN OUT, Nearly 20,000 "Persons in the Pittsburg Parade, and Myr iads to Look at Them. THE HERO'S BIG BIRTHDAY Is Celebrated as Tt Kerer Was Before in All This Section. TWO FKOCEBSIOXS TIE IS SPIESDOE. The Cnthollc Societies of rittborci Alle gheny sod All the Surrounding Country Get Tosctlier, Nearly 10,000 SMrong They Monopolize tlie Forenoon AmerU enn Mechanic, In nt Least Equal Num ber, Follow Them Incident of the Day, With a GlanceattheCrowdn and Whence They Came. Either of Pittsburg's two monster parades yesterday would have done honor to any holiday. They were both great They vied with each other in appearance, patriotism end numbers. Each was therefore the bigger and better because of the other. If a little rivalry might have a similar' effect upon all parades, and go no timber, it would always be a desirable quality. Of the crowds that came out on the bright and beautiluiday, it may be said that they were larger, without any considerable accessions from out of town, than any event before or since the late Centennial had attracted in Pittsburg since the parades at the close of the war. February's fairest smile was reserved for the renewed demonstration of that patriotic fervor with which all Americans revert to the days and the deeds of "Washing ton. Sunny, and as warm as winter ever is, yesterday was as iV x be out as the multi- ' tudes of paraders and their friends could have desired. There was breeze enough to set all the diicf.Varshal Coigrove, myriad of American of the First Parade, flags aflutter, with out at the same time sending even the shadow of a chilly shudder among the peo ple. It was, in short, a day to be remem bered, not only as the best celebrated birth day of George "Washington within the mem ory of the oldest inhabitant, but as a most highly favored occasion of public jubilee, when men could march, and women and children could watch them, without any of the ordinary discomforts of a winter demon stration. Of the magnificent parade of Catholic organizations in the morning, at the head of which rode Chief Marshal Thomas Cos crove, it may be said that the estimates place its aggregate in numbers at between 8,000 to 10,000 men, and that its appearance was superb. ITS LINE iSD THE TIME IT TOOK. The lice was formed on "Water street, with Chief Marshal Cosgrove and his staff estab lished at the Central Hotel. The order to inarch was given at 9:30 o'clock, and the pay divisions, escorted by the uniformed Knights ot St. George on horses, started over the following route: "Water to Smith field, to Second avenue, to Boss street, to Diamond street, to Fifth avenue, to Prid-, to Colweil, to Fulton, to "Wylie avenue, to Fifth, to Market, to Sixth, to Penn avenue, to Seventeenth street, to Liberty, to Smith field, to Sixth avenue, to Grant street, to the Cathedral, where thpy were reviewed and dismissed. At 10:30 the line reached the postoffice. It filed by in solid ranks for one hour and twentv-five minutes. In the line of Catholic military organiz ations there were the Knights of St. George in dazzling red and gold clothes and helmets, surmounted by splendid red plumes; then the Board of Erin Hibernian Itifles marched by. looking every inch of every man a soldier, with green plumes nodding in uni son and ranks as steady as the regular guards; then there were the American Board Hibernian Itifles, the Polish Guards, with huge curved sabers massive hats and gold trimmings. The gleam of brass and gold played with every sunbeam near and far; the breezes were alive with music, and it was a fine parade. Following was the order of the Catholic parade: ftest division.

THE 10,000 MECHANICS. An Afternoon Fnrndc Tlmt Tied With the Other Splendor, Entlinslam nnd Num bers Enough for Any Holiday Inci dent Noted as the Line Paus ed Down the Avenue. It took just one hour and a half by the big clock on the City Hall for the parade of the United Order of American Mechanics to pass around the corner of Fifth avenue and on to Smith field street. The crowd of curious si ght seers around the postoffice corner and on the steps, as well as at every corner,was so large, howev er, long beiore that that all traf fic had to be sto p p e d. All Stephen Collins, Chief Marshal. the windows of the United States Court rooms were filled with people, and so was every available window in that vicinity. The telegraph poles were covered, from the bottom to the top, with boys, who clune to them as tightly as ivy around an old oak stump. The traction car had to stop at the lower corner of Filth avenue, lor the jam was too large and progress was impossible. Along the different curbstones, vehicles of all descriptions, of every size and shape, from a miserable old ash-cart to the finest Surrev, lined the streets, some of them be cause" their occupants wanted to see the parade from the vehicles, and some because they could not get away, even if they wanted to ever so much. Truly the parade yesterday afternoon was a great success audit called to mind very vividly the scenes of the Centennial parade. The marching of the different coun cils was, in most cases, a very ex cellent exhibition o f well-drilled men, and first class order pre vailed during the entire march. From the top of the United States building the sight of the procession, as the column eradually de- cxonriprl "Fifth ave- -A&rew JCcillie. Com-scendea-biitnave- mander o Ancgieny nue was very pict- Division. ures-que. There were the flowing ban ners of the different councils, in colors of red, white and blue silk, mingled with na tional flags. Then the bright uniforms of the bands vied with the beautiful trappings of the horses. This glarins brightness, however, was excellently set offby the dark background vhich was formed by the marching men, who were mostly dressed in black, the whole forming a picture of beauty. It was 3:15 o'clock when two single file columns ot policemen, headed by Captain Dan Sylvus, becamo visible, on the hill. They marched down the hill on each side of the street to clear the route for the follow ing parade. On Fifth avenue, however, just opposite the old Dispatch building, the crowd of people was so dense that even the police failed to get any further, and it was at last decided to change the programme and go up Smithfield street. The McKeesport Electric Band, dressed in elegant gray uniforms, headed the first division, and to the ac companiment of "Marching Through Geo r gia," the Chief Marshal and his s t a ff swerved around the cor ner of Fifth ave nue. Amongthe staff were noticed Sheriff JlcCand less and Coro ner McDowell, who were seated on very frisky horses. But in George A. Murphy. 8. 8. Division Commander. spite of that.they succeeded in gettingaway without doing any damage to the telegraph, poles. LIKE PANDEMONIUM, Soon after the procession had gotten well under way along Smithfield street and a number of bands had already passed the corner, there were seven bands audible at once. Three ot them piayea "juarenmg Through Georgia," one played "The Old Folks at Home," another "Annie Laurie," another an old German march, and the seventh the "Boulanger March." This medley of international music was very striking as the sounds gradually died away in the distance to mate room tor another selection, executed by four fite-and-drum corps, especially because the latter rather jarred on the nerves. By this time the members of Pittsburg Council 117, marched by, presenting a very handsome appearance with high hats, brown gloves and brown canes. The staff of the members of Council 249, in white shakos, at once called the Six footers to mind only that there were no giants in this crowd. Ju-stat this juncture there happened a little diversion in the shape of a collision between an obstreperous individual and a United States mail cart. The driver of the latter wanted to get to the postoffice, but the fellow, lost in his intent gaze upon the white shakos, did not notice the cart, and he was quietly but effectively knocked down, ffowever, he got on his feet again without getting hurt much, for he swore at the driver like a trooper. Council 150 wore white gloves, and as they came down the bill with their sticks over their heads, the gloves looked like little handbills in the distance. The miniature Chinese sunshades of red, white and blue carried bv the marchers of Council 167 attracted a great deal of at tention, and caused much fun and laughter among the people. MIGHTT ANXIOUS CKOWDS. The crowds lining the streets were so anxious to have a look at those ornaments that they forced themselves .almost in the middle of the street. But one of these in quisitives had to pay dearly for his curi osity. Just at the moment when he stuck out his head too far the big double bass horn of one of the musicians hit him on the head, and, while he was knocked back into the crowd, the poor musician lost a part of his notes, which forced him to blow without mutic. Of course the harmony was not at all improved by this little accident. The second division, comprising the dif ferent councils from Allegheny, was led by the music of the Grand Army Band, an or ganization which made the finest showing of all the musicians in the parade. Their appearance in blue unilorms, with blue and red lined tunics, was very picturesque. Thousands of hurrahs rang through the air when they came to the Smithfield street corner, and a young man with two crutches, who was also anxious to get a glimpse atthe men, pushed himself so far to the front of the crowd that he was in turn pushed him self. "He dropped both his crutches, and, had it not been for the timely interference of Davy Smith, the big policeman, the poor young man would certainly have lost his crntcbes, and might have been injured. The Allegheny division was made up of very fine looking men, and the Pride of the "West Council did themselves, credit. There was a drum and fife band near them, whose members were so anxious to have everybody hear their music that the bass drum player smashed the head of his drum, and, of course the sweetnes. of his bang, bang, was lost during the rest of the parade. ANOTIIEK BUSTED HEAD. There was another performer on the big drum, who belonged to a band in the Third division, comprising the Southside delega tion of the parade. That drum player also handled his sticks with such lorce that his instrument was cm.ished; but he got two colored boys to. carry the drum for the bal ance ot the march, and these two boys were the only rolored people in the entire parade. It was not until a quarter of 5 o'clock that the last carriage rame rolling over the hill with the remnant of the paraders. Behind them the crowd rapidly closed in and fol lowed on their route. Soon the streets were again comparatively clear, the street cars went again to and fro, and the merry jingle of the Filth avenue cable cars sounded again. The scene around the corners was soon so much the same as usual that one could hardly realize such a gran.d parade had only passed there a few minutes be 'ore. Theie'were 01 councils in line, numbering exactly 9,410 members. Music was fur nished by 55 bands and drum corps, which numbered 1,4SS additional, making a total number of 10,892 men in line. It ii sale to say that 10,000 of these wer.e members of the order. The parade formed at the corner of Fifth avenue and Wood streeet,and marched over the following route: Wood street to Third avenue, to Grant street, te Diamond, to Eoss, to Fifth avenue, to Pride, to Fulton, to "Wylie, to Fifth avenue, to Smithfield, to Sixth avenue and to Seventh street bridge, to Sandusky, to Ohio, to Second, to Cedar avenue", to North avenue, to Arch street, where it passed in review of the Chief Mar shal and bis staff and was dismissed.

THE CROWD ON THE STREETS. Rnilroad Men Estimate That 60,000 Mrnnner Were In llio City Yesterday They Returned Home nt Night. TJie streets of Pittsburg were crowded yesterday with the residents of both cities and the people from the country. The day was a perfect one for parading, and the great public turned out en masse to enjoy the weather and celebrate Washington's Birthday. AThe crowd was not as large as the one that graced the streets of the two cities during the days of the centennial, but still it was big enough to excite comment. It was a diffi cult matter to determine just how many people were carried city by the railroads, tel registers did not into The show the ho- alarming increase of patronage, and indeed a Panhandle passengeyigent ventured the observation that the people on the streets were from the two cities. He thought more had turned out to enjoy the fun yesterday than during the Centennial, and the hotel books will bear him out. But many of the people came in from the country. They spent the day and returned home at night. Many of them brought their lunches with them; others soon got tipjy and forgot to eat, and the balance pa tronized the restaurants. It i3 estimated by the railroad men that the B. & O. road carried 41,000 people into the city, the Pennsylvania about 25,000. the Panhandle. P., V. & C. and branches about 8,000, the Fort Wayne and Allegheny Val ley at least 10,000. It is probably safe to say that 60,000 people came into the city yesterday to see the sights. Special trains were run and extra cars added to regular trains on all the roads. The Union depot was crowded last night with country folks waiting on trains. Through the watchful 'care of Officers Har rison and Riley no accidents happened, no body was robbed and crooks gave the station a wide berth. The different trains on the Pittsbnrg and Lake Erie and the Pittsburg, McKeesport and Youghiogheny Railroads carried 1,380 passengers yesterday on account of the pa rades. Six hundred ancLseventy came in on the Lake Erie alone, and the principal stations from whioh the visitors were hauled are Youngstown, K"ew Castle and Beaver Falls. The 710 passengers on the Pemicky came from Newhaven, Dickison, McKeesport and Homestead. The trainmaster, who is the authority for this information, said that yesterday's busi ness was larger than that of any time pre vious, except the Centennial celebration in last September. CATHOLICS HONOR THE FLAG With as Much of Pomp nnd Ceremony in Presenting It as Mechanics. Thirty-seventh street, above Butler street, was crowded to an uncomfortable point yes terday afternoon by a patriotioand en thusiastic crowd of men, women and chil dren, who had gathered to witness the first flag presentation to Catholic schools. The old school hall was also packed with chil dren, who were enlivened by patriotic airs from St. Augustine's Band of 30 pieces. The presentation of the flag was made by John F. Schaffer, President of St. Au gutine Literary Society, whose address was full of patriotic sentiment, which was re ceived with enthusiastic cheers. The flag, which is 9x15, and a beautiful piece ot bunting, was- received on behalf of the school by a lO'jear-old boy named Christian Hartz, whose speech was in Ger man. J-ne nine iciiow spoKe in a manner that would do credit to one double his age, and received as a reward of merit three hearty cheers. Bev. Father Maurit2is made a short ad dress to the children, after which the "Star Spangled Banner" was sung while the band played and flags were waved. The crowd then retired to the street, and, while the band played a national air, the flag was run out from the tower of the handsome new school building by "W. F. Eichenlaub and M. F. Hager, the children sending up cheer after cheer, which was swelled by the louder voices of the old folks. The chil dren then sang "America" and "Rally Round the Flac," and as benediction sang "Holy God, We Praise Thy Name." The' flag is a present from St. Augustine Literary Society to the school, and will be displayed from the top of the new building, which'will soon be ready for occupancy. Rev. Father Gregory had charge of "the af fair yesterday afternoon, and it was due to his hard work that it was so successful. HIBERNIANS CELEBRATE IT. The Birthday of Washington Honored by Addresses nnd a Dnnce. Division No. 5, Ancient Order of Hiber nians, celebrated Washington's Birthday last night by a reception at the Grand Central Rink. A large number were pres ent, and the , brilliant uniforms of the Hibernian Riflemen, of whom many were there, made the scene a gay and lively one. The order of exercises was: Addresses by Dr. A. J. Logan, , "W. A. Gonlden, Esq., and William Walls, followed by. the Dan hardt Orchestra. Dr. Losrau opened the reception by speak ing on the- questions that are agitating Ireland.

Senator Grady Wants the Schuylkill Company to Show WHY IT MAI NOT BE ESCHEATED. Grangers' Statistics in Support of Their Revenue' Bill. PDLLMAN PALACE CARS FOR THE POOR. Fares to he Fixed and Companies to be Held Responsi ble for Bazsaje. Senator Grady wants the Schuylkill River Railroad eseheated to the State on the ground that it has not extended its road in accordance with its charter. The Grangers ate preparing some startling figures, which they expect will help them to carry their revenue bill. A bill has been introduced in the Senate fixing the fare for parlor and sleeping coach travel. fSrECTAI, TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.! Haeeisbueg, February 22. In the Senate to-day President pro tern Grady offered a resolution, which was adopted, re questing the Se.cretary of Internal Affairs to furnish the Senate by Tuesday next the report of the Schuylkill Eastside Railway Company showing the number of miles operated, its capital stock and bonded in debtedness. The purpose of the resolution being to show that the company has violated the law by refusal to make the required re port and to proceed against it by writ of quo warranto. President pro tern Grady, of the Senate, is going to make trouble for the Schuylkill River East Side Railroad Company Short Line, which was projected for the purpose of connecting the Baltimore and Ohio with the Reading road in Philadelphia. FOB BONDING PDKPOSE3 ONLY. The charter of. the road says a line ex tends up into Chester county; but it is claimed that the line never got outside of Philadelphia, and the increased distance is only on paper and only for the purpose of secung a large sum by booming its milease. The company has not reported to the Secre tary of Internal Affairs, and no facts nor figures concerning it can be secured. This is what caused President pro tern. Grady to oflerin his resolution on requesting the Secretary of Internal Affairs to furnish the Senate with an extract from the company's last report, showing the total number of miles built, the amount of the capital stock and the amount of the bonded indebtedness. IO BE EXPECTED. As this cannot be furnished, the question will be asked why the condition of things is so, and President pro tern. Grady will fol low it up with a resolution requesting the Attorney General to issue a writ of quo warranto, and cite the company into court to show cause why its line, franchise, stock, bonds, etc., shall not be escheated to the State. The company, he said, has made no report as required by law to the Internal Department, as would be shown, and had bonded the road to the ex tent of 1,000,000 3 mile, while it was re stricted by law to a bonded indebtedness of 5200,000 a mile. In order to appear to comply with the law, the Senator said, the company had built a road on paper extending into Dela ware county. The Secretary of Internal af fairs is expected to make a report by Tues day night, when there is expected to be revelations in the proceedings which will follow. PARLOR CARS FOR THE POOR.

THE FATHER OF HIS COUNTRY Is Remembered by the T,cslIntora A Little Joke on Captnin Skinner. ;FnOM A STAFF COEBESPONDEXT.l Habrisbubg, February 22. Washing ton's Birthday was recognized in the House to-day by a resolution presented by Dr. JIc Cullough, of Tarcntum, highly eulogistic of the father of his country. The resolu tion was unanimously adopted, but the im pressiveness of the occasion was somewhat upset by Captain Skinner, of Fulton, who with mock gravity arose and moved that an engrossed copy of the resolution be presented to the family of the deceased. The Captain, however, was a trifle upset himself a little later, when he moved that when the House adjourn it adjourn to meet at 9 o'clock Monday night. "Under the rule, remarked the Speaker, "the resolution will lay over for one day." Then the Honse laughed again, as it recollected that there will be no session to morrow, and the Monday evening meeting will occur at 8 o'clock as usual. WANT EVERYTHING TAXED.

BALPH, The contractor on the new Masonic building, assures us that he will have the Store Booms which we" are to occupy in the Masonic building, and our entire building in the rear, ready so we can open on TEXJKSDAY, MARCH 21, 1889. A good many people, seeing the large amount of work yet to be done, doubt his ability to perform his promise. But the energetic and business like manner in which these large buildings have been pushed to completion in such a short time, lead us to believe HE CAN DO SO. ' We will therefore (D.
