The first man to get a lecture in the
morning was David W. Jones, a well
known Allegheny saloon keeper. His mus
tache was curled and twisted until its ends
stuck out, as they were endeavoring to get
as far away from 'his face as possible. His
Honor first raked him regarding his domes
tic relations. Mr. Christy then opened up
on him and made it worse.
Gibson Lightcap explained that an attor
ney had absconded with 525,000. He and
two others were held liable, and he had
transferred his property to his wife. The
Court gave him a general overhauling as to
his business methods, and seemed not over
favorably impressed.
BATHEB HIGH TONED.
P. J. Bitter has theological students
board at his place. This he used as a prin
cipal argument in his favor last year. They
left him when the fact was publiihed. His record
during the past year -was none orthe best, accord
ing to Mr. Christy, who closely questioned him.
He admitted some of the facts and denied others.
The most pathetic Incidents which crop out dur
ing tue examinations consist in the caUlnc ont of
the names of some habitual drunkard by Mr.
Christy. The question Is asked If he knows such
and such a person A smile of contempt arises to
the applicant's lips, and he answers Yes." He
knows him weU. too well In many cases. To the
spectator's mind there arises the Tlslonoftbe
person ofslmllarhablts In his own neighborhood.
A wreck of mankind, stranded on the reef of bad
habits, a victim of thestorm of weak resolutions.
His red, bloated face, his breath redolent
with the fumes of bad whisky, his
clothes torn and filthy, his Tolce husky,
a picture of mlery and degradation, so disgust
ing that a reference causes one to shudder and
turn sick at heart, rhe object at which chlltren
point aTlnrcr of scorn, mothers hold up as a re
EUltof disobedience, ana fathers pity. Theywere
known rears ago as rising young men, and to-day
they have sunk below the level or a brute. It Is
the strongest and most forcible temperance lec
ture that has ever been delivered this reading of
tbe sad list with the nsnal comments.
The first applicant called at the afternoon ses
sion was William Beilcteln, or Ohio street. Judge
White was acquainted with a man who was on the
street where the applicant kept a saloon and went
to his restaurant In order to get a meal and he told
the man that he did not furnish meals.
EUHTED HIS CHANCES.
-I never furnish meals to drunken men." said
the applicant.
The answer nettled the Court and he said that
his" InrormantMld not get drunk and told the
truth.
Beilsteln got a very searching examination and
was very nervous during the ordeal, although he
gave his answers clearly and distinctly.

Joseph Binder, 143 Ohio street, did not apply
for a license last year and went to a lot of needless
trouble this year.
Henry Coppes, 191 Ohio street, did not get a
license last vear. The public necessity of his
saloon is that"he will be able to make a good living
for hlmselt and family.

with bologna on the counter. His record was
none of the best.

the Court by answering maybe." His Honor's
Questions were correct.
Joseph n Degintcr, 57 Third street, was a book

selling liquor to minors and going on the ball
bond of the proprietor ofa disorderly house.

THETMATAND MAT NOT BE.
The Judge asked him If they were always man and
wife. He said he did not know. He asked a man
once and the man proposed to thrash him He
never asked another one. His case is a very
doubtful one.
John tieber. 172 Madison avenue, was rerused a
license last year. He might have remained away.
Theodore Huckenstein, East street and Mnth
avenue, is another man who feeds the festive
larmer when he Is seeing the town. He's all

Jocph Jatyer, l& Madison avenue, says he was
a Dutchman and was living private
What made you retire to privacy?" asked
Judge White.
hy, my Gott, Jedge, you didn't give me no
license "
His Honor was almost paralyzed and the spec
tators roared
"IV hy, Jedge,1' said the applicant, and he
turned white with fear. He was gently led away
from the yellow table by a tlpstave, the worst
scared German in the city.
John Kunkel did not answer
Paul Kraon and Adam Klug did not have a
license and could give no reasons for getting one
George Lehner, 185 Ohio street, has a saloon.
Mr. Christy asked him If he knew what a flim-flam

a poor showing. ,

White remark, Well, I'll think about it."
Frederick Long, 143 Madison avenue, has a sa
loon next door to an engine house. Members of
the companv come into his house while on dutv
and get drinks. This made it hard for him and
will likely ruin his chances.
Andrew Lauglltz, 153 Ohio street, rnns an ordi
nary saloon, and will likely be refused on this
account.
Lorcnze Lattner, 196 Madison avenue. Is an old
soldier, and was refused a license last year.

sometimes stretches a point in order to accommo

man did He had a fair showing until this was
brought out lie rented tberoom about a year ago.
Frank McCoy, Central Hotel. AUeghenv. took
charge a year ago. The bar has been "losed since
Slav. The house contains 70 rooms. He wants to
ran the bar bimseir People, he says, will not stop
bat a temperance house.
Judge White remarked the trouble with a tern-
Serance house was that they kept an Inferior
ouse, and people would not stop at it.
He told a good story, and will likely get a license.
Julius Kltzel. ICC Terr) street, is a victim of his
neighbors, who want a more convenient place to
get a drink, and they'll have to stay dry or walk
further than 103.
V llliam Seker, S3 becond street, gravely said
me and myself" kept bar.
Mr. Christy asked him if he ever had any trouble
at his house. He was the mot surprised and in
jured man in the court when asked such a ques
tion. He had kept a very orderly house, hesald.
He bad a bucket trade, and was a blacksmith by
trade.

through the saloon. His saloon Is near a church.
John btotz, 17 East street, now has a saloon. He
eays be keeps good liquors. He sells onlv whisky

a saloon and will be allowed the privilege to con
tinue It.

license.

case
A WISE MAN SENDETH HIS WIFE.
David Bauman, 80 Madison avenue, was repre
sented by his wire, a pleasant little lady who made
a fair showing.
Man is a sociable animal, but It Is surprising
howclosely they form friendships and assemble In
companies In this city. There are more clubs
purely for social purposes In this city than in any
other Uty In the country. The number of clubs
which are brought to light In this court would
cause one to wonder where Its members all come
from. It must ruin tbem paying dues and assess
ments. George Boeshaus, SS Chestnut street, was re
fused a license last year, and will likely be refused
this year
Anton BrlegeL 31 East Diamond street, was re
fused last year. He was accused of having a bad

founded. Thomas Burger. 3 40 Son th Canal street, has a sa

DEATH OP ALLEGHENY COUNCILS.
All of the Unfinished Business Disponed of
nt a Meeting; Last Mght Close of Both
Common nnd Select Council.
Allegheny Councils died last night and
the desks were cleared of all unfinished
business of importance. All matters that
were not disposed of will have to be introduced
again when the new Councils organize next
month. After approving of the business from
the Select branch Common Council held asort of
a love feast as is customary, the retiring mem
bers being given an opportunity to say some
thing. Mr. Gerwig was called on first and
made a speech on trusts and monopolies. He
condemned them in very emphatic language
and said they were raining the country and
also mentioned that Allegheny City was in
danger. He did not mention the name of any
corporation, but his defeat for re-election is at
tributed to the influence used against him by a
certain company.
Mr. F. B. Smith, who was not a candidate for
re-election and whose term expires, said he bad
been a member of Councils for four years. Be
fore he was elected be bad heard of a "ring,"
bat was unable to find one. The men who are
accused of being ringsters, be claimed, did
more good for their constituents than the
"kickers" or reformers.
Short addresses were also made by Messrs.
Hiram Landis, Charles Muehibronner, Henry
C. Stavinjr, George Schad, A. J. Chambers and
Henry C Bittner.
A resolution of thanks to Chairman Hunter,
Clerk Dilworth and Page Hunter was unani
mously adopted, and Common Councils ad
journed sine die,
lb the Select branch the Controller's report
showing that bills amounting to $33,454 71 had
been paid daring the month, was approved.
ids ordinance relative to leiegrapn ana tele
phone poles was called up. Common Council
had amended it by providing that the poles
should be painted white instead of dark green,
as had been originally provided. The ordinance
was again laid over.
The action of Common Council in lighting
the city with electricity was not concurred in,
but all papers bearing on the matter were sent
back to the Gas Committee. Mr. Henrieks
said if it had not been for the recent city
election this question would have been settled
long ago.
The ordinance awarding the contract for the
removal of dead animals to Dr. Czarniecki, at
J1.S50 a year, failed. Some of the Conncilmen
thought the figure was too high, although it
was explained that Dr. Czarniecki was the only
bidder and might double his figures, they voted
against it. Unless Dr. Czarniecki bids again
the city will be compelled to remove the dead
animals from the streets with its own employes.
The ordinance preventing the use of the
First ward Diamond square for private busi
ness, except by farmers, parsed. A resolution
instructing the Wharfmaster to have the
building of the Peoples' Gas and Fipeage
Company on the wharf at Federal street re
moved, was passed.

SOMEHEAYTOUTLArS
What the Different Boads Here Intend
Doing This Spring. ""
SEVEN NEW BRIDGES ON THE B. & 0.
The Virginia and Charleston and Lake Erie
Double Tracks.
THE MASTER CAR BUILDERS' MEETING
There will be very few improvements
made upon the railroads running out of this
city this spring. Ihe directors of the
various companies think the business done
next summer will not be as good as last
year, and in consequence of the probable
decreased earnings, they do not care to in
crease the expenses any more than is neces
sary. The Baltimore and Ohio Company are
about to begin their annual spring repairs
and new construction. They have a large
force of men working on the Wheeling di
vision, between "Washington and Wheeling.
Outside of repairing the great damage done
by the floods in July and August, nothing will
be done. This work alone will take fill sum
mer, to put the road in the same condition it
was prior to the destruction,
BIG BRIDGES TO BE "BUILT.
Seven new bridges will be built between
Point Mills andElm Grove stations. These will
be made of stone and Iron, and will be about
the strongest railroad bridges in the State.
They will have spans ranging from 83 to 157,
feet, and all the masonry workwill be made for
a double track road. The iron for the bridges
win be made in the East. An official of the
road said yesterday:
"Outside of what we will do around the new
station here, and the general repair of our road '
bed on the Wheeling division, we will not have
time to do anything else. It will be impossible
to tell what the cost of the improvement on the
Wheeling division will be, but it will foot up
into hundreds of thousands of dollars. We in
tend to pat that branch of the road in better
shape than it was before, and after that will
make some improvements on other pans of the
road."
WORKING ALL ALONG THE LINE.
Tbe Pittsburg and lake Erie people have
large forces'ot men all along their lines. The
old sidings in the neighborhood of Beaver Falls
are being lined up and surfaced and connected
together. New sidings are being put in at
different points, and after they bave been com
pleted tbe road will virtually be a double-track
line Between this city and Youngstown. The
straight double track from this city now ex
tends away beyond Chartiers. Considerable
improvement is also contemplated on the
"Pemicky"road.
The Pennsylvania Company will not do any
thing until alter the directors' meeting, when
the improvements win be outlined. The other
roads are not doing anything ont of the
ordinary.
Yesterday abont 200 men were put to work
clearing away the debris and fixing up the
double track of the Pittsburg, Vireinia and
Charleston road between Fourth street and
Beck's run.
AN OFFICIAL INSPECTION.
President Roberts, with the other officials of
the company, will take a trip over the road on
their annual spring inspection tour next week,
and the track will be put in first-class condition
for the trip.
For years tbe road has been using but one
track upon which they would run trains. 'The
other track was given to shippers to load and
unload cars. This was a great accommodation,
as it enabled them to load cars almost right at
their doors.
The growing business of the company has
necessitated the constant use of two tracks in
the city limits, and thev bave given notice that
the privilege allowed shippers has been with
drawn. After next Monday shippers will have
to haul their freight either to the Twenty-third
or the Fourth street stations.
SARNES ELECTED PRESIDENT.
The Other Receiver of the Valley Road
Takes Mr. Scott's Place.
"W. H. Barnes, Esq., of Philadelphia,
Eeceiver of the Allegheny Valley road, has
been elected President of that company, vice
John Scott, wbo died last Sunday. At a meet.
ingot the Board of Managers of the road, held
in Philadelphia Wednesday, he was chosen to
fill the vacancy.
Mr. Brown has been one of the receivers of
the road for the past five years.
AN OLD SOLDIER'S DEATH.
A Cousin of J. McDonald Crossnn Dies in
Destitute Circumstances.
Allison Whitstone, an old soldier, died
at the Homeopathic Hospital. last night
with not a triend near his bedside, to soothe
his dying moments. He was taken from a
cheap lodging bouse on Water street, about 3
o'clock yesterday afternoon. At the Central
station Dr. Moyer examined him and ordered
him taken to tbe hospital. Upon bis arrival
there he was in a state of collapse from which
be could not be rained, and died at the hour
stated.
The hospital physician would not venture an
opinion as to tbe cause of death. The remains
were taken in charge by the Coroner, who will
investigate the case this morning.
The deceased was 53 years of age, though he
looked SO, and was a cousin of the late John
McDonald Crossan, for many years proprietor
of the Monongahela House. He was a native
of Chambersbnrg, Fa., from which place he
enlisted in tbe Second Infantry when the war
broke out. He was wounded in "The Wilder
ness," and received an injury from which he
never fully recovered. He came to this city
after the war and for several years acted as
book-keeper for Oliver McClmtock & Co. Sub
sequently he began to dissipate and lost his
standing and finally became a peddler of sil
verware polish, from which be made a living
for the past ten years.
He boarded for many years with Mrs. Adam
Wiggins, now living on Buqnesne way. She
said that "old Jeff" was often advised by bis
friends to apply for a pension, but be always
refused.
A wound in his side has always troubled him,
and it is supposed had something to do with
his death. His last illness was of short dura
tion, for he was oat on the street, apparently
well, on Tuesday.
A 5,000 BOY
Released Prom tbe Allegheny Lockup Last
Right for 83.50.
Several boys, some of them colored, were
engaged in the pleasant practice yesterday
afternoon of throwing mnd and -S tones at
Sedestrians on Hemlock street, Allegheny,
neman was bit in the eve and had to go into
a boose for protection. Robert King made an
information before Mayor Pearson against four
of tbe lads and tbey were arrested.
The prisoners were Tom Connelly, Sam and
John Thompson and Charles Barnuni. The
latter is a colored boy, aged about 6 years. At
a. hearing last evening tbe Mayor fined the
prisoners SI and costs each. Young Barnum's
mother heard of her son's arrest and walked
into the Mayor's office in a verv excited man
ner last evening, and asked what amonntwas
required to secure her son's release. She was
told that $3 60 would open the iron gate, and
throwing down a 110 bill, said: "Take it out of
that. I would not let my boy stay there for
85,000."
The little fellow was promptly released, and
on the way home told his mother that be did
not throw stones, and she believed him.

Made Up and Presented.
REPORT OP A STAR CHAMBER MEETING
The Brewers and Agents' Association, of
Allegheny corinty, held a meeting yester
day afternoon, at their rooms, on Liberty
street, at which some very important busi
ness came up. The meeting was held with
closed doors, but the following was learned
from the members by The Dispatch re
porter. President Eberhardt called about a dozen
members representing the association to
order at 3 o'clock. Secretary Walther being
absent on account of sickness, Mr. Ed Erau
enheim took his place, and after the routine
business was disposed of, special topics were
taken up for discussion.
The first of these was the license question,
the conclnsion being reached that the pres
ent course of the License Court was too se
vere. The main topic of the afternoon was
now brought before the society.
Mr. Straub, of the firm of Herman,
Straub & Co., raised the important question
whether- liquor dealers should patronize
firms whose
MEMBERS VTEBE PB.OHIBITIONISTS,
in other words, whether such firms should be
boycotted. It was maintained that as such
firms did not patronize the liquor dealers, but
on the contrary worked for the destruction of
the liquor business, it wonld be only common
business policy to oppose such firms by pro
ceeding on similar lines.
Although the expression of this view did not
cause great astonishment for the reason that
Mr. Straub said the association has been tend
ing toward such a course from tbe day of its
organization up to date, yet there was some
violent and determined opposition raised. It
came from various 'members, who seemed to
fear that such a course was entirely too precip
itate and hasty. Tbey advanced the view that
such policy could only be the causa of stiU
more violent opposition to the liquor trade, and
would make enemies where none at present ex
isted. NO GLOBT IK BUKKINO A"WAY.
Upon this the other side retorted that it
was better to fight courageously than to offer a
tame submission, and that tbe liauor men
would receive just as much antagonism from
outside, no matter whether they fought back
or not It was also pointed out at this juncture
that if all banded together now and made a de
termined effort to crush their opponents, the
possibility existed of silencing them altogether,
there being very f ew'flrms who were wUling to
have their trade ruined just for the sake of
being able to flaunt tbelr opposition to the
liquor dealers In the face of the world.
This discussion was continued in such style
for fully two hours, wnen the refractory mem
bers were brought around to the first expressed
view. It was now in ordef to take action on
the subject in hand, and immediate steps were
taken to materialize the advanced theory.
Upon motion, a committee was appointed to
take charge of the matter. The committee
will make a thorough canvass of the county,
in order to make np a list of all firms, persons
or parties who secretly or openly
ABE AGAINST THE LIQUOE DEALERS
and oppose them. This list, oras much of it
as has been prepared, will be presented to tbe
Brewers' Association at their next meeting.and
each member wUl receive a copy of it together
with a notice in which be will be requested to
antagonize the firms specified therein on every
possible occasion and in everypossible manner.
It is expected that the work will be accom
plished In the course of a few weeks, in time to
make the plan effective for this campaign.
After tbis no further business was attended
to, as tbe General Campaign Committee for tbe
State is having a secret conference this week
in Philadelphia. UntU instructions are received
from this source nothing further wUl be done.
THE GERMAtfIA BANK
On tbe Southside Is Now a Substantial Fact
A New Bank Building Will Likely be
Erected for the Purpose.
The new organization of the Southside
bank has almost been entirely completed.
The committee for establishing that institu
tion held a meeting yesterday, and the en
tire capital stock of the new concern has al
ready been subscribed.
The bank will be known as the Germania
National Bank, and its capital stock will be
200.000. Application fpr a charter will be made
before the United States Controller to-day. and
it is exnectcd that all formalities incidental to
the establishment of the bank will be settled
so as to have the new concern open for busi
ness on June L
The following is a complete list of the stock
holders: H. Sellers McKee, glass manufacturer; George
Duncan bons, glass manufacturers: A. A. Adams
and George Easton, of the Adams Window Glass
Manufactory: I. Frank, E Hogau. Wm. Doyle,
of Doyle & Go.: I. Campbell, Bryce Bros. iCo.,
all glass manufacturers; H. C. Gearing, lumber
dealer; George B. Hill, stockbroker: D. O. Cun
ningham, glass manufacturer and lumberman:
B. Jr. Jones, of Jones X Laughllns: E. Kohrkaste.
grocer John Freund, drygoods merchant: Fisher,
ofthe Fisher Foundry and Machine Company: C.
Ibmsen, Jr., glass manufacturer; J. H, Sorg, real
estate man; 1). Z. Brlckel, glass manufacturer;
. 'Wlgman, lumber dealer; James Campbell,
President of the Window Glass Workers Asso
ciation; Mr. King, of King &-Son, glass manu
facturers: 1. Frank, of Lewis' Foundry and Ma
chine Company.
Of these gentlemen, Messrs. McKee and
Cunningham are the largest stockholders hold
ing $30,000 between them. Since Tbe Dis
patch published tbe first news about the es
tablishment of tbe new bank, a bitch has oc
curred in the negotiations of purchasing the
old bank building, and it is probable that the
bank will not be located in that building at all.
It was stated by one of the stockholders last
night that Mr. Meyers is asking too much for
the building, and inasmuch as an offer has
been made to the stockholders' committee of a
cheaper building in the immediate neighbor
hood of South Eighteenth street, It is probable
that this latter offer will be accepted and an
entirely new bank building wUl be erected.
This structure is to be built after the model
of the Farmers' Deposit Bank' on Fourth ave
nne. The building will contain nothing else,
but accommodations for the bank purposes.

HE COULD READ WRITING.
Romance of nn Indian Squaw A Tax Col
lector Feels Insulted.
The typewriter is still as much of a mys
tery to some people in way-back counties as
was the photographing apparatus to the
Indian chief who came to a gallery to get a
picture made of his squaw,and peeping through
from the operating end, saw her, as be sup
posed, standing on her bead. Bat though many
of the stories told are doubtless fabricated,
here is one vouched for by a railway official:
A tax collector in Dunham township. Fayette
county, tried to collect from the local agent
some taxes owing by the, Pittsburg, Mc
Keesport and Youghiogbeny Railway Com
pany. Tbe agent told tbe collector that he
must move on the company's works in this
city, and soon the officials cot a dun from him.
An ornate and elaborate reply written on a
typewriter was returned. The next heard
from the collector was a bitter complaint made
to a coke operator of the Insult offered. Said
he, the collector:
"I suppose those people think because I've
been raised in tbe woods that I can't read
writing, and they have gone and got a letter
printed and sent it to me. I suppose I can read
writing as well as most of tbe people in that of
fice." The irate man modified his opinion of the
company when it was proven that such printed
letters were sent to classical and scientific
scholars without causing offense.
BUTCHERED AND DROWNED.

saying he was going out for a walk. His body
was found yesterday morning wedged between
two rafts in the Allegheny river, near the

ear.
Maeder had evidently gone out on a raft and
sitting on the edge cut his throat and fell iuto
the water. The body was taken to Herman &
Ebbert's undertaking: rooms and an inquest
will be held to-day. No canse is assigned for
the suicide except that be bad some trouble
with bis stepson. The deceased was 52 years

terian Church lor the Allegheny and Pitts
burg Presbyteries, commenced yesterday
morning in the Second Presbyterian Church,
several hundred women being present, with
Mrs. J. P. E. Kumler in the Chair.
Singing and prayer-were followed by the
Home Secretary's report, which -shows a
falling off of receipts during thev year. Mrs.
Thomas Robinson read an interesting paper
from the Foreign Secretary, and after the
introduction of Mrs. M. E. 'Caldwell, of
Bogota, South America, an elegant lunch
made a graceful conclusion to the morning's
exercises.
The afternoon session was opened at 2
o'clock with fitting exercises. The report
of the Treasurer, Mrs. George A. Kelly,
showed the receipt of 59,394 for the past
year, a falling off of 51,580 from the previ
ous year's receipts. It was decided, upon
motion, to instruct the auxiliaries that
they try to raise 51,500 before April 15.
Mrs. Tracy, who has worked in India for
18 years, made an address, in which she
described tbe difficulties of her mission, in

At the evening session the church was
crowded with people listening to the addresses

gheny. Tbe Rev. Dr. Sullivan opened the ex
ercises with some remarks on missionary work.
ONE HINGES UPON THE OTHEB.
He pointed to tbe fact that a healtby foreign
mission depended on a healtby domestic insti
tution, and spoke of tbe large Held for work
right here among some of the emigrants, re
ferring to them as bringing much evil Into tbe
land, saying: "If we don't absorb this popula
tion into godliness, it will absorb us. It is
time we were aroused to it to save our country
from the danger which threatens."
The speaker said that of the 7,000,000 younz
men in this country only 5 per cent were in tbe
church, 15 per cent went to church, and more
than 75 per cent were never in a chnrcb.

traveling in a country 13 times the size of Ohio,
and having no railroads, and closed by alluding
to tbe great amount of work yet to be done in
