AEEEST AKD SENTENCES OF A DOZEN
A gang of tramps toot complete posses
sion of freight train Kb. 51, on the Pitts
burg and Lake Erie Railroad, near the city,
late Saturday night, and defied the conduc
tor or his crew to do anything with them.
The conductor summoned aid from the city,
and a special train, with a number of police
officers aboard, went to the rescue of the
freight train, which had been side-tracked,
and placed 12 of the tramps under arrest.
The more desirable portion of the ugly gang,
so far as justice is concerned, took to the
woods and escaped.
freight train 2fo. 51 pulled out of the
Cbartiers yards of the company at 7:30
o'clock Saturday night. Beside its regular
cargo of merchandise it had a number of
disagreeable and unwelcome passengers.
The tramps were as ugly looking a body of
men as could be gathered together.
They seemed to occupy every available
part of the train, and had become so nu
merous that the conductor could not, under
any circumstances, cope with them. He
and the brakemen ordered them off the
train several times, but they refused to obey,
and laughed at the railroaders. When they
were pressed by the trainmen to leave they
MADE SOME UGLY THREATS.
The conductor baw that he and his crew
could not do anything with them, and that,
if a fight took place, his men would fare the
worse for it. Kb blows were struck by the
tramps, but if they had carried ont their
threats with the coupling pins and missiles
they carried, the train and the road would
have been annihilated.
Several times the train was stopped. The
tramps would descend each time, and arm
themselves with rocks picked up from the
railroad ballast, coupling pins and other
improvised weapons of defense. The con
ductor would then parley with them for
awhile, but when the train commenced
moving again the tramps would climb back
into their old resting places and laugh at
the trainmen's efforts to oust them.
Conductors on the road have received
strict orders that no tramps be allowed to
ride on the trains under any circumstances.
This gang was beyond control, however, so
a stop was made at Alliquippa, and the
train was run on a sidetrack. A telegraph
message was sent to the general offices of
the road in the city, asking for aid. The
train was compelled to lay at this station
for several hours and await the arrival of
the rescue train.
Still the men could do nothing with the
tramps, who amused themselves at the ex
pense of the train hands by taunting and
threatening them.
Trainmaster Dietrich and Detectives
Cook and Irwin went down the road as far
as Coraopolis on the express. Here they
got a special engine and car and made the
r.scue run to Alliquippa. The major part
of the gang of tramps, and a number of
thieves besides, who are known to be work
tnc the little towns along the railroad, sus
pected that something was wrong and took
to the woods, thus escaping. The
OFFICERS DID N OT TABLET
long with the remainder; but, being well
armed and plucky, brought them to the car
and locked them up. The tramps were, in
deed, surprised by the officers and made no
united resistance. The party arrived in the
city at 3 o'clock yesterday morning. Patrol
wagon No. 8 was called, and the gang were
taken to the Thirty-sixth ward station
house. Kb concealed weapons were found
on their clothing, although they all carried
good big pocket knives. At a hearing yes
terday morning nine of the fellows were
sent to the jail and workhouse and three
were discharged.
Detective Cook, who assisted in the cap
ture, last evening said that the gang of
thieves who would have robbed the cars
and private houses along the road (after
whom they went in particular) had escaped.
The number of tramps traveling over the
road lately is enormous, he says, and dds
that it is almost as much as a man's life is
worth to act as a train hand on any train
running between here and Youngstown.
The names of those sent to jail were Frank
Wagters, Andrew "Wheeler, Frank Kellar,
James Connell, Thomas Swaney, Patrick
Lynch and William Donahue. Edson
Grosbeck, Martin Atkinson, John Kelly
and John Smith were sent 30 days to jail.
George Moor was discharged.
One of the men, Matthew Shehan, had
over S18 in his pocket; a second had over
9. Detective Cook captured the thirteenth
tramp near the Pittsbnrg and Lake Erie
depot before leaving the city.

throughout the city. About 0 persons
were present, and Henry Eeuter was made
Chairman, and Charles Treschel Secretary.
After a discussion of the objects of the
meeting a set of resolutions were prepared
for presentation to Judge White, protesting
against the wholesale closing of saloons and
requesting that he be more leuient with
applicants. The resolutions ask for the
granting of licenses to saloons' in districts
closely adjacent to mills and workshops,
and argue that they are needed in such
places tor the comfort of the German popu
lation at least.
They also ask that the fact that beer is
sold in buckets be not used against a saloon
keeper for the reasou that it is better to have
a bucket of beer taken home than for the
man to go to the saloon where he will spend
both time and money to the detriment of his
family. The resolutions will be handed to
the Court to-day.

THE
IT IS NOW A SURE GO.
The Pittsburg, Cannonsburg and
Wheeling Road Will be Built
ONE OP THE PROJECTORS TALKS.
Farmers .Become Interested and Are Giving
Tip the Rights of Way.
THROUGH THE HILLSIDE TO WHEELING
One of the projectors of therailroad which
is to go under or through Mt Washington,
on the Eouthside, from this city to Wheel
ing, necessitating a great tunnel a mile
long at the outset, is in town looking after
after some rights of way. In conversation
with a Dispatch reporter yesterday he
said:
"The railroad is now an assured 'go,' and
Pittsburg will soon have another outlet to
the West. Theniatter is being kept very
quiet for the present, and the people in the
scheme do not wish to say much about it' to'
any one. '
"We have not much difficulty in securing
rights of way. The road will be mainly
built by Cannonsburg capital, and the peo
ple of the town are taking an interest in it
On account of Little Washington having
such a boom at present, with her oil wells
and manufacturcs,there is a growing rivalry
between that town and Cannonsburg. The
people living in. and around the latter place
think that if they only had a railroad which
would be an outlet both east and west they
would be getting some of the business which
is now being given to Washington. On
this account the farmers are giving us the
right of way without having to fight very
hard for it.
"The name of the line will be the Pitts
burg, Cannonsburg and Wheeling Raijroad,
and will be a competitor of the Baltimore
and Ohio Eoad between Wheeling and
Pittsburg. It will be an independent road,
and is mainly being built to open up the oil
territory in that part of Washington
county.
"John Ewing, President of the Cannons
burg Iron and Steel Company,, is at the
head of the company, and all the other
stockholders in the mill are putting money
in the line.
"It is really the Iron and Steel Company
that will build the road. For years they
have had a great amount of trouble getting
their product to the markets. They have
had to ship it via the Cbartiers branch
road, and to freight for the West it would
have to be shipped in a ronndabout way.
The company got tired of this, and their
handicapped facilities injured their busi
ness. When they build the new road, stuff
can be sent direct to Wheeling, and will
probably connect there with the Wheeling
and Lake Erie. The road will be of
standard gauge."
MUST HAVE THUNDER.
That Seems to be the Slain Reason for the
Latest Stagy Article of Rumble and
Roar Mr. Hunter's Telephone.
In view of the present warm and close
contest for the chairmanship of Allegheny
Common Council, many interesting stories
have recently cropped out While many of
them have obviously been circulated only
for political effects, yet some tales have been
told which at least make interesting read
ing, and seem to amuse the principals, if
nothing more. One of these stories alleges
that it is impossible for a person, engaged in
the same business, which President Hunter,
of Common Council, pursues, to obtain a
telephone, because it might injure the trade
of the Councilmanic competitor.
A Dispatch: reporter, with a view of
getting at whatever interest there mizht be
in this lightweight thunder, visited the
office of the National Cement Company,
whose name had been mentioned in con
nection with the above rumor. Mr. W. B.
Enos, a member of the company, was seen,
and when questioned in regard to the part
which the firm had taken in this alleged
telephone transaction, the gentleman re
plied as follows:
Our company has a large plant at Wampum,
on the West Penn road. Some months ago the
telephone company removed the pay station
which had been located there. leaving us with
out any communication with the city. Mr.
William Klrkland, a member of the firm, ap
plied for a telephone from here to Wampum.
Mr. Metzgar, of the telephone company,
fixed a price, and, after we had consid
ered it we decided to accept What was our
surprise when we were told by Mr. Metzgar
that we could not have the desired connection,
for the reason that somebody in the same busi
ness (presumably Mr. James Hunter), might
be injured, because he bad connection by the
same circuit. Mr. Metzgar, however, offered
to construct us an independent -line from
Wampum to New Castle, provided we were
willing to bear the cost of construction. Of
course, we had to decline this rather expensive
offer.
Mr. AY. C. Hopper, senior member of the
firm, corroborated the above story, and Mr.
Kirkland could not be seen, as he does not
reside in the city.
In order that nothing partial should be
published, the reporter sought out Mr.
Metzgar. After hearing the story, the latter
gentleman smilingly remarked:
"There is very little in that story."
"Is it not a fact that many persons in the
same business have telephone connection by
means of the same circuit?" was asked.
"No, Rir; we make it a rule to never put
two men in the same business on the same
wire, unless they have no objections."
"Were you governed by any other reason
than the one given, in your refusal?" was
asked in conclusion.
"No, sir," was the reply. "I was gov
erned bv that alone."
Mr, Hunter was approached on the subject
yesterday afternoon by a Dispatch report
er, bnt the latter conld get no reply to his
queries.
"As this interests you considerably, your
name being'connected with it, have you no
statement to make?" was the reporter's
question.
"No," said Mr. Hunter; "nothing what
ever. 1 have talked enough to yon report
ers, and intend to say nothing at all. Any
thing else I can answer for you?" he con
cluded, with a smile.
AN OPEN-AIR SLEEPER.
Mr. Pullman, tho Great Car Bnllder, Work
ing on n New Scheme.
George M. Pullman, the great car builder,
and President of the Pullman Palace Car
Company, passed through the city last
night on his way to Chicago.
He had a plan of something in his hands
that looked like a new parlor car with the
roof off. Possibly he is thinking of con
structing a sleeping car tor the summer that
will have a movable roof. What he wants
to do, though maybe he doesn't think so, is
to pay some attention to ine immovableness
of some of the statuary conductors.

Fine Bananas Now Being Raised In the
Phlpps Conservatories In Allegheny
The First Crop Plackrd Yesterday.
The first bananas ever raised in this sec
tion ripened and were plucked yesterday in
the Phipps' greenhouses in the Allegheny
parks. About three years ago two1 plants
were put in the old greenhouses but did not
yield anything, as they did, not have room
to spread out When the new conservato
ries' were built it was found that the two
plants had increased to two dozen, which
are now flourishing. Several of them have
bunches of bananas on them, and others are
in blossom.
Superintendent of Parks Hamilton was
seen in his office in the conservatory yester
day, and in conversation with a reporter for
this paper, became very enthusiastic on the
subject of banana jrrowing. He said the
plants in their native soil only grew 18 feet,
while those in the greenhouses were crowd
ins the class, which is 28 feet high.
"Prof. Thurston, ascientist from the Cor-
nell University, visted our greenhouses,"
said he, "and said our plants were magnifi
cent I have had visitors here from Cuba,
India and other places where bananas are
raised, and they all said they nevei saw
such fine plants in their own .country.
These are the first we have ever raised here
because we did not have the room. I be
lieve our bananas are as good as those
raised on their native soil.
"The banana has been cultivated from
most remote times in tropical climates, and
serves as a staple foodfor a large number
of the human race. There are several
varieties of different flavors, but ours are as
good as any. Humboldt says that one acre
of bananas will give as much life sustaining
food as 133 acres of wheat or 44 acres of
potatoes. The natives of India live almost
entirely on bananas. They are eaten raw,
or cooked in various ways, and are also
made into liquors."
The conservatories are open on Sunday,
and yesterday were visited by several thou
sand people. They all stopped at the
banana plants and inspected them, express
ing surprise that tropical fruit could be
raised in this State. Several of the plants
have bunches on them, but they are not yet
ripe. The bunch that was cut yesterday
contained about 76, most of which were dis
tributed among the Councilman, and city
officials who called.
There is a fig tree also in the greenhouse
that will bear fruit shortly, and also other
foreign plants. The houses are filled with a
large variety of flowers and plants.
RAIDING THE BPEAK-EASIES.
The Police Department Tarns Into Root Oat
Unlicensed Houses.
While the court is busy with the licensed
saloons, the city officials are rooting out the
sly drinking places called "speak-easies."
Two important raids were made yesterday,
one at the Point and the other at Hard
scrabble. Inspector McAleese on Saturday entered
informations against John Connelly, of the
corner of Penn avenue and Fort street, 'and
Johanna Conners, of the Hardscrabble dis
trict, above Old avenue, charging them
with selling liquor without license, selling
on Sunday and keeping disorderly houses.
Bdth have been repeatedly notified to quit,
but paid no attention to the warning.
About 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon
Boger O'Mara,' "Detectives McTighe and
Fitzgerald; with several officers in citizens'
clothes, raided Connelly's place, which was
running full blast. Eleven men were cap
tured, including the proprietor. They cave
their names at Central station as follows:
Pat King, Martin Derrick, William Ogles
by, Deacon Crowley, P. Connellv, Edward
Bolton, John Bichter, Thomas McGarley,
Mike Mullen and Joseph Foley.
About an hour after this raid was made,
Mrs. Conner's place was visited by the
officers, who arrested John and William
McGraw, Frank Bay, James Hurley,
Henry Grinder and Frank Tiramey, beside
the proprietress. The latter is a widow
and has six children, ranging from 2 to 12
vears of age, and one of the children went
into a fit of spasms when its mother was
taken away. The men arrested in her
house were nearly all under 22 years of
age.
A number of those arrested put up for
feits for their appearance at the hearing this
morning.
Mrs. Conners was released on $1,000 bail
about 9 o'clock last night, for a hearing be
fore Magistrate Gripp at 4 this afternoon.
Her children met her at the station house
door, and clung, crying about her, making
quite an affecting scene.

JOHN SCOTT IS DEAD.
The President of the Allegheny Val
ley Railroad Passes Away.
PNEUMONIA AND HEART TROUBLE.
The Story of His Life, and the Business
Enterprises He Was Engaged In.
THE REMAINS TO BE BDRIED TO-MORROW
Mr. John Scott, President and one of the
receivers of the Allegheny Valley Bail
road, died yesterday .morning at his late
residence in the East End. The cause of
his decease was pneumonia and heart
trouble.
Mr. Scott was one of the best known rail
road men in the United States, and was
generallyrecognized during his whole life
as one of the shrewdest and most heavily in
terested business men of the city.
Among his interests may be men
tioned the following: In addition to
being President of the Allegheny Valley
road, he was a director in the People's Sav
ings Bank, a director in the Mansfield Coal
and Coke Company, a heavy stockholder in
the Pittsbnrg Locomotive Works and the
Pittsburg Plate Glass Works at Creighton
station. He was at one time President of
the Pittsburg, .Virginia and Charleston
Bailroad, and a director in the Pennsyl
vania Bailroad. He was one of the projec
tors of the Edgar Thomson Steel Works,
and, until a short time ago, a member of the
firm of Carnegie, Phipps & Co. He was
also at one time a director in the Farmers'
Deposit Bank.
A SELF-MADE MAN.
Like other great men of the city, Mr.
Scott was, to a remarkable degree, a self
made man. He was born in Pittsburg in
1831. His advantages were meager; but he
managed to pick up the rudiments of an
education. At an early age he entered the
wholesale grocery house of Church, Mc
Veigh & Gordon, well-known to the early
residents of the city, on Water street Some
time about 1848 he left the firm and em
barked in business for himself. He opened
a large grocery store on Liberty street and
his integrity and honest business methods
won him host of friends. He afterward tired
of the business and sold out
He entered the railway service as a clerk
a number of years later, and soon developed
a knowledge of practical railroading. Pro
motion became certain and easy, and he
kept rising step by step. In 1874 he was
elected President of the "Valley" road and
continued at the head of the corporation
until the time ot his death. ADout lour
years ago, when the "Valley" passed nnder
the control of the Pennsylvania road, he
was made one of the receivers.
The news of Mr. Scott's death was a sur
mise to his friends in the city. Mr. Scott
had been working at his desk tiro weeks ago
Saturday. About that time he contracted
a heavy cold, which settled on his lungs.
In addition to this an old heart trouble set
in, and he suffered terribly. He continued
to grow worse and worse until Saturday,
when he rallied. He continued to grow
stronger, and his family expected he would
tide over the crisis. Late in the night he
took a turn for the worse, and, despite the
skill of a number of physicians, Ee passed
off in a gentle slumber.
AN IMPKESSIVE MOMENT.
While the church bells were pealinz
forth their sweet summons to worship, and
the sound was wafted through his window,
his" spirit departed as peacefully as if borne
out on the echo of the chimes. He was sur
rounded by his family at the time.
Among his familv may be mentioned, be-
i sides his wife, his sons; John F., who is
Treasurer oi ine irittsDurg riate mass
Works and a director in the Masonic Bank;
Bobert, David Stewart and Charles E.
Scott, a well-known resident of Wheeling,
W. Va. His daughters were Lucy, who is
the wife of Dr. Edwin T. Painter, the well
known specialist of this city; Mary, who is
a Mrs. 'Burns, of Memphis, Tenn., and
Ella, who is still living at home. Hjs
father was Thomas Scott, who was at one
time President of the M. and M. Bank. He
was also a brother-in-law of the late David
A. Stewart, of Carnegie Bros. & Co.
About Christmas time Mr. Scott received
injuries by being thrown from his buggy on
Forbes street, near his home. He was driv
ing along when his carriage collided with a
buggy. He was thrown out of his vehicle,
and was badly hurt about the spine. He
contracted a cold at-the time, but recovered
shortly. Several of his friends think this
accident was the indirect cause of his
death.
A friend of his last evening said that
there was not a man in the city who had as
sisted in more public enterprises than had
Mr. Scott, he was yet always ready to help
anything along, and to a number of young
men he had recently given a start in life.
The funeral services will be held at his
late residence Tuesday afternoon at 2
o'clock. They will be conducted by Bey.
George Hodges, pastor of Calvary Episcopal
Church. The interment will take place in
Allegheny Cemetery und will be private.
The pallbearers will be business associates
of Mr. Scott.

THE CAPTURED MURDERER.
George Owens' "Story of the Killing ot
Stephen B. Lee Yesterday Morning
Jealousy Was the Real Cause.
Charles Allen, the murderer of "Buddy"
Lee, was arrested early yesterday morning
by Inspector McAleese, on Wylie avenue.
Dr. J. Guy McCandless held a post mortem
examination on the body yesterday. Only
one bullet was found, it having entered the
left arm, passing through and lodging next
the heart. Death was instantaneous. The
Coroner's inquest will take place at 10
this morning. Lee's mother telegraphed
the Coroner last night irom Washington,
D. C, that she will be here this morning.
Allen was very quiet yesterday and would
not talk about the affair. On the way to
the station house, just after his arrest, he
told Inspector McAleese that he had shot
Lee because he had acted unfairly with him.
He did not know that Lee was dead but in
speaking of the shooting said that when he
fired the shot "Lee dropped like a beef."
One of the men under arrest is George
Owens, better known as "Longcamp," in
front of whose house the killing occurred.
He is very delicate, having suffered from
asthma for some time. He, it appears, was
really the only eye-witness to the
shooting and the police give him
a good record for veracity. He told,
his story of the affair to Detective Coulson
last night. He said that Allen had been
drinking all day on Saturday and was con
siderably worked up with jealousy at Lee.
Allen had been rooming with Owens, and
on Saturday morning took the latter's re
volver. Owens missed the revolver soon
afterward and took it from Allen who re
marked that he was "going to show these
coons something." Allen had been seek
ing a quarrel with someone all day, and
Lee went up to May Gardner's place on
Wylie avenue to avoid Allen. Just before
the shooting, Owens says he and Allen
were in the room at 253 Second avenne, and
Allen was sitting on a chair with his head
on his hand, dozing. Lee came to the door,
from No. 251 and knocked. He was ad
mitted, and when he came in, spoke to Al
len, telling him that if he ever went around
talking about him as he had done that day,
azain, he would make it warm for nim.
Allen did not reply, but, when Lee left the
room, followed him, and as Lee stepped to
the pavement fired. He then crossed the
street and started toward Mary Gardner's
when he was arrested.
Owen's statements are corroborated by
several of the other colored people who
were in the neighborhood at the time.

Questions Worthy of Consideration Ad
dressed Church and school committees, and per
sons building generally. Shall we continue
in the old rut and plaster our ceilings and
walls with the same old mud we have been
patching all our lives, simply because it is
cheap? Or shall we use wood, which we
know will warp, shrink and burn, and
furnish lodgment for all manners of in
sects? Or shall we use our own brains and a
little common sense, and adopt the patent
metal ceilings, manufactured Dy A. .Nor
throp & Co., and secure clean ceilings, dura
ble ceilings, artistic and attractive ceilings
that are not easily damaged by either leak
age of water, or jarring and vibration of

A DEMOCRAT RESIGNS.
He Will Not Bold a Good Paying Position
Under a Repsbllcan Administration A
Deep-Dyed Partisan.
Nicholas M. Bell, of St Louis, Superin
tendent of Foreign Mails under the admin
istration of President Cleveland, passed
through the city last evening on his way to
Washington. Mr. Bell is one of the old
school Democrats who believe in "whoever
wins the fight takes everything in sieht."
He was the first Democrat appointed to
office in Missouri, his appointment being
dated April 1. He refuses to hold office
under a Bepublican administration and has
already sent in his resignation .to the Post
master General. It will take effect just as
soon as Mr. Wanamaker finds a -man to
take Mr. Bell's place. While at the Union
station Superintendent Bell, who will soon
lose his title, said:
"I have sent in my resignation and am
waiting for the Postmaster General to ap
point my successor, when I shall turn over
my office to him. I resign simply for the
reason that I do not believe that the'heads
of departments should be otherwise than of
the same political belief as the President
and his Cabinet As I am a Democrat and
our candidate was not re-elected, I do not
think it right to hold on, and by standing
in the way hamper the acts of my superiors.
"I think that Mr. Wanamaker will make
one of the best Postmaster Generals the
country has ever had. He is one of the
shrewdest business men in the United
States, and his new office will have to be
run the same as any large business estab
lishment "I think that the President and his Cabi
net will surround themselves with men
fully in accord with their views. This
means that all Democrats must walk the
plank, and it is perfectly right that they
should do so."
Superintendent Bell was accompanied by
a Mr. Pollitt, of St. Louis, who was going
down to Washington after Bell's position.
