BUILDING THE DAM.
The Goyernment is Purchasing Prop
er Near Herr's Island
FOR THE BITER'S IMPEOVEMEKT.
United States District Attorney Allen
Makes the First Move
15 A PKOJECT OF GREAT MAGNITUDE
At last the Herr'i Island dam is going to
be built It is the first snbstanti&l more by
the Government to improve the Allegheny
river and make it a navigable stream. The
work is thus actually commenced 10 years
after organized efforts were first started in
the interest of the project. "WTiile it is an
enterprise of great magnitnde it is not prob
able that it will require so long a time to
complete as the Davis Island dam or the
new Postoffice building.
United Stales District Attorney Allen
has just purchased a strip of land in Alle
gheny City midway between Herr's Island
and the Fifteenth street bridge. It is 40x
200 feet, and will be the site of abutments
and lock-walls ot the new dam. He is also
negotiating for an adjoining piece of prop
erty for the erection of necessary buildings
to house workmen and tools during the job.
The District Attorney is also conducting
the negotiations for the purchase of land on
the Pittsburg side. It is situated on the
river banks of the Twelfth ward. His ob
ject is to acquire all the real estate for
the Government without the formality of
condemning it, if possible. If that becomes
necessary condemnation suits will have to
be entered, viewers appointed and a lot of
red tape unraveled which will take a year
or more to wind up again.
BED TAPE UNWOUND.
District Attorney Allen is acting under
orders. Colonel "W..E. Merrill, of Cincin
nati, who is in command of the Engineer
ing Corps, TJ. S. A., in the Ohio Valley,
had the survey made quietly some time
ago determining the location of the
dam. He then notified the Secre
tary of "War that property should
be condemned for the site of the abutments,
retaining walls and locks. The Secretary
accordingly instructed the Attorney Gen
eral of the United States, and that function
ary messaged the instructions to United
States District Attorney Allen, whose head
quarters are in Pittsburg.
Congress has already made two appropria
tions for the construction of a dam at Herr's
Island, and people have often wondered
what became of the money, and what was
the cause of the delay. These appropriations
amounted in the aggregate to 55,000. The
first was made about four years ago,
and the last some two years later.
The money lies safely to the credit of the
paper dam in the vaults of the United
States Treasury. It is not probable that
more than $10,000 of it will be needed to pay
for the property now being purchased.
After the negotiations are all completed an
act must be passed by the Legislature of
Pennsylvania ceding all jurisdiction and
ownership in-the real estate thus purchased
to the United Stites. This cannot now be
done before the next Legislature, nearly
two years hence, but, as there is never any
question about that formality, the work of
construction will not be delayed on that ac
count The act ceding the Davis Island
dam property to the Government was not
passed by the Legislature until the work
was nearly finished.
COMMENCE AT ONCE.
Assistant District Attorney Alcorn stated
yesterday that the work of excavating for
and constructing abutments, and other
masonry for the dam, would be commenced
just as soon as the purchase of all of the
property was complete. From other sources
it was learned that the whole work would
cost about $200,000. If favored by good
weather, and regular annual appropriations
by Congress, the improvement may be en
tirely finished in two years. John "W.
Arris is the Government engineer in charge
of the work at this time and L Y. Hoag
has charge of the general improvements on
the Allegheny.
It is expected that this dam will form a
harbor navigable all the year around ten
miles long. That would extend as far up
as Hulton. Row there is not a steamboat
that can get that far up except when the
river is at flood height
"What is most important is that this dam
commits the Government to the erection of
others on the same streams, thus realizing
the dream of many people the Allegheny,
with its very gradual fall and majestic
length of 300 miles, made a highway for
steam navigation.
A GBEAT WORK.
Ten years ago the "Western Pennsylvania
Biver and Improvement Association was
formed at a meeting in the Chamber of Com
merce rooms, Pittsburg. This meeting was
attended by delegates from all the towns
and cities on the Allegheny and tributaries
between here and the Hew York State line.
The one object of the association was the
improvement of the Allegheny. Subsequent
meetings were held in nearly all of these
towns with delegates present from Pittsburg,
Allegheny and Sharpsburg. Arthur Kirk
ot this city was perhaps the most prominent
spirit in the movement
The result of this work was a flood of pe
titions being poured in upon Congress for
the erection of a series of dams on the Alle
gheny. It was a long time before anything
was accomplished, despite the fact that
Colonel Hen-ill's recommendation was ob
tained for the work as feasible. He said in
one of his reports that the Allegheny was
the easiest stream in the United States to
slack water. An appropriation bill was
defeated twice by Congress. But four years
ago the fourth went through and the second
followed as a matter of course, as will the
others.
Advocates of the scheme say that even
the ten-mile pool formed by the first dam at
Herr's Island will work wonders. It will
build up a large local trade for steamboats,
towing boats and barge transportation be
tween the city, Etna, Sharpsburg, Verona,
Claremont, Hulton and Harmersville. It
will throw thousands of beautiful manufac
turing .cites on the market Both sides of
thet Allegheny are a series of level pastures
which mill men have seen the value ot long
before this, but failed to improve them for
want of transportation facilities.

THAT STEEL TOST.
Carnegie Bro& & Cp.'s Firm Are
Wanted in the Big Combination.
WESTERN STEEL MEN IN THE CITY.
A Conference Held in the Office Of Chair
man H. 0. Ffick Yesterday.
INDEFINITE STATEMENTS ALL ABOUND
.The big steel rail trust, or combination,
pnbushed in this paper yesterday, may ex
tend to this city. It was reported that the
owners and stockholders of the Joliet, the
Korth Chicago and the Union Steel Com
pany, of Chicago, had decided to consoli
date, with a capital stock of $20,000,000.
Nothing definite of the plans of the three
concerns was given, and, as some of the
stockholders object to the combination, the
plans, whatever they are, may not be carried
out
The proceedings of the meeting of the
stockholders were kept very quiet; but,
when H. S. Smith, one of the leading mem
bers of the Joliet Steel Company, and E.
Forsyth, of the Union Steel , Company, of
Chicago, came to this city yesterday, it was
at once reported that an effort was being
made to draw Carnegie Bros. & Co., the
proprietors of the Edgar Thomson "Works,
which is the greatest steel rail plant in the
country, into the combination.
These gentlemen visited Mr. H. O. Frick,
the chairman of the company, at his office on
Fifth avenue, and held a long consultation
with him. The object or result of this con
ference could not be learned.
A Dispatch reporter saw Mr. Smith at
the Hotel Duquesne last night and asked
him about the combination. He said none
had been formed, bnt wonld not say that one
was not contemplated. He admitted that
he and Mr. Forsyth, of the Union Steel
Company, had held a consultation with Mr.
Frick on the subjectmt said he had noth
ing to give for publication. When asked a
number of questions about the steel rail
trade Mr. Smith gave some evasive answers
He stated positively, however, that trade
might be better.
Mr. Frick was asked about the proposed
combination and the invitation given Car
negie, Dros. & Co. to enter it, and said they
had not thought of joining with the West
ern manufacturers. He said he had seen
the Western representatives, but declined
to talk on the subject
All the persons interested in the project
were very reticent, but it is believed that
Carnegie, Bros. & Co. -will not enter into
any combination or trust
A MIXED UP CASE.
An Allegheny Woman With Two Names Ar
rested for Larceny by Bailee.
Mrs. Agnes Malone, alias Emma Young,
is in the Allegheny lockup on a charge of
larceny by bailee. The case is a very pecu
liar one, and caused Detective Eichenlaub
and other members of the police force a
great deal of trouble. It is claimed that the
defendant rented the house at Ko. 201 Bob
inson street, occupied by Mrs. Eliza
Kelly. The latter, it is charged, indnced
her to retain some of her goods. The de
fendant moved from the house to Ko. 20
Grantham street, taking all the goods with
her. Constable McKnight had levied on
the goods for rent before .they were re
moved, and had another charge against the
woman.
Yesterday afternoon Detective Eichen
laub visited the house and found the goods
which it was alleged had been stolen, and
took possession of them. They were loaded
in the patrol wagon and taken to the lockup.
Mrs. Malone was taken into custody, but
was not locked up, as she expected to secure
bail. Ko person came to go on her bond,
however, and at-9 o'clock she was placed
behind the bars.
The prisoner is a nice-looking woman, and
claims that she has done nothing wrong.
Constable MoKnight, whs levied on her
goods, wanted her released, but Mayor
Pearson refused. Mrs. Malone will have a
hearing before the Mayor to-day.
A PASTOE'S DEPARTURE.
Rev. E. C. Hashes, a Batter Wedding and a
Very Handsome City Chnrch.
Ber. E. C. Hughes has been pastor of
Trinity M. E. Church, on Twenty-fifth
street, since last September. Prior to that
he was a preacher in Kittanning and But
ler. He is young, handsome, and has, un
til very recently, been unmarried, and,
since his advent in Pittsburg, was chiefly
noted for the sensational topics of his
sermons.
Last Monday, it is alleged, he was sum
moned to Butler by Bev. Dr. Kesbitt The
residing elder of this district, Bev. J. W.
iles, and Mr. J. H. Kobbs, one oi the of
ficial members of Trinity, were also sum
moned there on a later train. It is stated
all these gentlemen were needed to witness
a wedding in Butler.. The young clergy
man is said to have been somewhat back
ward in the affair, bnt the marriage took
place on Tuesday. The couple went West
for a sojourn there.
Mr. Kobbs said yesterday that Bev. Mr.
Hughes would preach no more. The matter
has caused a social sensation in the Twelfth
-ward, where the pastor was popular.
WILL LAWYERS GET IT ALL?
A Litigation of Eleven Tears' Duration Be
tween B. & I Factions.
A case was argued before Judge Stowe
yesterday that has been pending before the
court in various phases for 11 years. It
was a result of the breaking up of the Mer
chants and Mechanics' Building and Loan
Association, of Allegheny. The associa
tion was organized in 1869 and broke up in
1878. Litigation commenced between the
borroweis and non-borrowers of the associa
tion that has been going on ever since.
In its present shape it is an equity suit of
John Bodgers, assignee of the non-borrowers,
against Henry Brooks and others, bor
rowers. The argument yesterday was on
the question if the borrowers would have to
pay the non-borrowers interest from the
date of the assignment, and if the assignee
cannot collect the old premiums. Judge
Stowe reserved his decision.

HIS HIGHNESS LEAVES.
Const ill Moctercole Starts for Estops,
Never so Betarn Plenty of Counts Work
ing on Italy's Railroads.
Count, or dago, Montercole left for Kew
York last night, and intends to sail for Eu
rope this afternoon. His Countship, accom
panied by the waiter who acted as interpret
ter, went to the depot in a fine rig behind
two dapple grays. Both men smoked cigar
ettes, and the Count did not appear to be at
all nervous. Few people around the depot
recognized him, and he passed through the
gate unnoticed. He wore the same old suit
of clothes, a black cape' overcoat and derby
hat
He appeared to have plenty of money and
paid his bills promptly. He was even lib
eral with his change, and tipped the wait
ers freely. His autobiography, which he
was so anxions to sell to the newspapers for
$2,000, was finished, and he carried it in his
inside pocket He said he had made ar
rangements to have it published in Kew
York in book form.
The Count seemed to be satisfied with his
short visit to Pittsburg, Through the in
terpreter he said to a reporter, before leav
ing last night that he thought he had
squared himself with the Pittsburg people.
He was sorry that he had not submitted his
manuscript to the Pittsburg papers, and
realized that he had made a mistake. He
didn't blame them for not buying before
they found out what they were going to re
ceive. After the Italian person had departed the
interpreter said he believed Montercole was
a veritable Count He came from the South
of Italy, where counts in abundance can be
found working on the railroads for a living.
The titles are cheap, and few of them have
castles or money.
Montercole claimed that he had been
warned before he left Kew York that he
would be drubbed when he got here. He
thumped his breast with his small fist, and,
in a tragic way, said he was ready for any
body. The Count had no callers yesterday,
and he remained in his room all day.

says the people of Washington are glad to

Mr. Hopkins is pleased that Phelps and

on account of certain eccentricities of man
ner and dress does not pass for what he is
really worth. His ability is marked, and
both he and Easson are able enough to cope
with Bismarck. In their hands the dignity
and rights of America will be ably de
fended. Continuing he said: "So far Mr. Harri
son has moved along easily and quietly. He
has no intention oi revolutionizing things:
that is not his policy. A short time ago I
had a chat with Don Dickinson. He
thought theoutlook was exceedingly gloomy,
and he predicted a panic for this year. I do
not see now that he has any season for such
views. Trade is dull, but results from
purely business causes, and not from a
change in the administration.. I don't be
