tTEOX A START COEKIFPOKDKKT.1
Habbisbubo, April 5. There was no
olive branch business in the House this
morning, no show of magnanimity or any
thing approaching it. It was confessed on
behalf of Mr. Magee that he was defeated,
but this did not satisfy his foes, who im
mediately went to work to do their level
best to confer on him a martyr's crown and
a martyr's popularity by jnmping on him
with both feet. This was considered neces
sary, though, io show what could be done
when it had to be done.
The work of keeping the Legislators in
line went busily on this morning. Before
the opening of the session Senator Delama
ter was conspicuous in various parts ot the
House, and Chairman Andrews and others
went hither and thither. It was soon gen
erally understood that the programme was
to prevent the withdrawal of Mr. Magee's
resolution and bury it beneath an awful
avalanche of votes. This programme was
carried qut to the letter.
HOW THE THING WAS BONE.
"When Mr. Iiafferty asked leave to with
draw the resolution, Mr. Brooks ob
jected that this would be unfair to the
Street Railway Committee, after the manner
in which the matter had been discussed in
the papers of the State. The committee
had negatived the bill by a largelnajority,
and he thought it only justice that the
House should now say whether it had done
right. Mr. Iiafferty, in making his request,
stated that he did so because he found votes
enough could not be secured to carry the
resolution through.
Mr. Patterson, of Philadelphia, took ad
vantage of this to call attention to the cir
cumstance that the gentlemen who wanted
the bill calendared found themselves in a
tight place, and asked the House to provide
them with a safe way of retreat. He hoped
the House would not do it. He also stated
that the figures by which the Street Eailway
Committee had negatived the bill were
14 to 4.
Mr. Andrews, the Republican State Chair
man, spoke, bnt it was merely to say that he
agreed with the gentleman who hoped the
bill would go over. Ei-Ppeaker Graham
said, in accordance with all precedents, his
colleague should be allowed to withdraw
his resolution if he did not see fit to pass it.
It should be entirely under his control.
HOW THE DEMOCRATS ACTED.
On the Democratic side, Mr. "Wherry
stated he had been assured on the personal
and political representation of the leader of
the Senate meaning Mr. Delamater that
if Senate bill No. 70 was let-rest, a street
railway incorporation bill woulll-' be passed
that would include the features of the meas
ure under consideration. Previous to this
he had favored placing the negatived Sen
ate bill on the calendar, believing it might
then be made the basis for a broader meas
ure. Captain Skinner said it looked very much
like a Republican family fight, and he
thought it might be as well for the Demo
crats to retire from the floor and let them
fight it out.
The House refused to let Mr. Lafferty
withdraw the resolution, and then Mr.
Brooks called it up. Messrs. Graham and
Kratz moved an indefinite postponement.
This was the real test of strength. The mo
tion was lost bv 138 to SI.
This virtually settled the matter, but be
fore the resolution was voted on Messrs.
Jones and Marland made the best and most
dispassionate speeches they have made this
season. They
TOrCITED UP THE FACTIONAL SPIRIT
that had resolved on the death of the meas
ure, and Mr. Jones stated that, while he
might be willing to receive directions from
party leaders on party measures, he would
not on purely business questions.
The vote was 166 to 2 against placing the
bill on the calendar,; Mr. Magee's friends,
except Messrs. Jones and Stocking, voting
that way in harmony with Mr. Lafferty's
request that the resolution be withdrawn.
Many Republicans who sympathized with
Mr. Magee on the political phase of the fight
were induced to vote against him to protect
legislation in which they are interested.
This is conspicuously the case with regard
to those who are anxious for the, passage of
utEBu.jaiinj juuurjjvrauou Dill prom
ised by Messrs. Delamater and Andrews.
This bill, however, will not include the
feature of Senate bill 70. Mr. Wherry.who
stated on the authority of Senator Delamater
that it would, misunderstood that gentle
man, who later went to him, and so ex
plained to him. Mr. Delamater hadn't
vorked.so hard to kill merely for the pur
pose of resurrecting it.
THE FILGBIMS COME AND OO.
Ex-Speaker Dong was here to-day against
the Magee measure. Mr. Magee and his
brothers, Fred Magee and "W. A. Magee
went home at 3 o'clock this morning. Coll
lector Bigler arrived late last night to see
that the Democrats were in line for Magee,
but learning from that gentleman that he
had abandoned the fight. Mr. Bigler turned
around and went back home. The Demo
crats were not to be held in line for Mr.
Magee by Mr. Bigler or anyone else. As a
reward of merit for voting with Mr. An
drews, Mr. Pow, on motion of C. "Wesley
Thomas, succeeded in getting his license
transfer bill made a special order for Tues
day and "Wednesday, and other Democrats
received nice treatment in the samedirection.

ONE RAILROAD'S IDEA.
Conductors Who Sent In Their Resignations
WUhonfKnowIng of It.
rsrzcui. telegram to the dispatch.
Puxxsutawket, April 5. Every pas
senger conductor on the Buffalo, Rochester
and Pittsburg Railroad, of whom there
were about fifteen, received a notice a few
days ago which read: "Your resignation has
been accepted." To most of the conductors
this unceremonious dismissal was a general
surprise, but some or them said tbey were
asking for it. Among the conductors dis
charged are several that have been on the
road since its construction and were re
garded as fixtures.
This proceeding was the outcome of the
Baltimore, Rochester and Pittsburg's -experience
with train agents, or "ticket pick
ers," as they are generally called. About
three months ago the conductors were re
lieved of the duty of collecting fares,
and had nothing to do but run the
trains. The inference was that the
conductors were suspected of dishonestly
appropriating passage money to their own
use. It is probable that the company dis
covered that it was losing money by em
ploying both train agents and conductors,
and that it has resolved to try a new set of
conductors who, as soon as they become fa
miliar with their runs, will displace both
the old conductors and train agents.
THE SEWICULT FUEL FIGHT.
A Communication From the Ohio Taller
Co.'s Treasurer.
Mr. E. P. Young, treasurer of the Ohio
Valley Gas Company, writes the following
abont that Sewickley fuel trouble:
The Ohio Valley Gas Company of Sewickley
have been and are now selling gas as cheap as
the new Independent Gas Company ot that
place, and cheaper than any other company
In Allegheny county. There has been no com
plaint as to rates, even when the Ohio Valley
was the only company and had a monopoly of
the gas business.
The notices sent out were worded to the ef
fect that contracts should be renewed without
Increase to avoid shutting off gas, ind were
not sent oat last week, but on March 19, and
were sent out as reminders of a similar notice
delivered to all consumers ot gas, dated as far
back as February 17, 1888.
The Ohio Valley Company sent the last
notice out so as to give everyone an opportunity
to have the gas it they desired it, and, of
course, those not signifying their intention ot
continuing its use, some were cut off from the
supply, not on Sunday night, however, but on
Monday. April 1.
The rates for gas furnished by this company
are now, and always have been, as follows:
Cook stoves per annnm, J15: range per annum,
J20; open grate and stoves, t 5; furnaces In pro
portion. The Independent Company do not
furnish gas at any cheaper rate than this.

Never in the history of this city has there

rate, as shown by the report up to the 10th of
February (the last publication), makes a
large Increase in the death rate, which, if
continued through the month, will show the
deaths in February to be 2,108, which is more
than double the number of deaths for the same

rSriCIAL TXLEOBAH TO TUB BtSPAICB.I
New Yobk, April 5. The customs peo
ple were up to their eyes in business to-day
over later developments attending the dis
coveries that Allard & "Bons, through
their agent, Paul Rowley, had smuggled
in goods ordered 'from them by rich
people in New York and other cities.
A second raid was made on the store in
Fifth avenue by Special Treasury Agent
George H. Simmons and his associates of
Colonel Ayer's staff!
Alphonse L. Brown, the informer, was
with the agents, and told them what books
of the firm would substantiate his charges.
There were two letter books and two in
voice books. The invoices of the firm
for a number of years back were also seized.
The books and invoices were taken to the
custom house. The books showed
that Rowley and iis predecessor,
agents of the firm in New York,
had executed heavy orders for
furnishing with imported goods the homes
of Potter Palmer, Cornelius, George and
Frederick Vanderbilt, D. Ogden Mills,
August Belmont, "W. W. Astor,
George Bliss, Coleman Drayton,
R. F. Cutting, Bayard Cutting,
Abram S. Hewitt, Robert Goelet, Vice
President Levi P. Morton, Whitelaw Reid,
Johnston Livingston, John R. McLean,
William C. Whitney, W. Seward Webb
and many other wealthy people.
ANNOYANCES FOB ALIi.
Many of these may possibly encounter
the annoyance to which H. McK. Twomble,
William K. Vanderbilt, Mrs. Robert Gar
rett and Mrs. Orme Wilson are subjected by
the allegation, that goods sold them as duty
paid were smuggled.
All the invoices of the firm will be ex
amined. There are many works of art on the
free list, and notable paintings of the old
masters. The $20,000 Rembrandt ordered
by Mr. Twombley is admittedly on
the free list, but the owners of goods not on
the free list are liable for the duties, even
though they have paid them once to Allard
& Sons or their New York representative, if
the Government has not got them.
Mr. Magone says that all the owners have
showed every disposition to comply with
the statutes. The Baltimore and Chicago
customers of the firm have been notified,
and will have to undergo the bother of an
investigation.
Roulez is a nervous and excitable man,
and to-night, when explaining his connec
tion with the importations, said that his
complete ignorance of English has been one
of the causes of his present trouble.
HISTORY OP THE HOUSE.
Theorignal firm in this city was styled
Allard & Sons & Prignot, and was estab
lished about four yearsago. Thepresenthouse
is that of Jules Allard, 62 Rue Chateaudun,
Paris. Prignot was the American repre
sentative. Mr. Roulez says that Prignot
was recalled and died insane in Paris. As"
Prignot returned Roulez crossed him on the
ocean, arriving here on December 11, 1887.
Blossier, who now makes the charge against
Roulez, was Prignot's bookkeeper, and made
out all accounts.
Roulez says that he did not get power of
attorney to act for his employers until
September 8, 1888. He declares that
nothing fraudulent in his accounts
can he , found since that time.
Prior to last September and in many cases
subsequently to his discharge, about six
weeks ago, Blossier had the handling of all
bills and accounts.
Roulez admits that the tapestries which
were found in his house belonged to the
firm, and that the $400-clock came over
among his personal effects. He says, in ex
planation, that his effects were
PACKED JN PABIS BY THE FrBM
and that he did not know they contained
dutiable goods. When he came across the
tapestries he thought he was acting in the
firm's interest in taking them to his house.
Mr. Roulez says further that the orders
for the Twombley Rembrandt and other
articles were given before he assumed
power.
W. H. Secor, the lawyer for the Allards
and Roulez, says that the Allards are inno
cent of any attempt to defraud the Govern
ment He attributes all this trouble to
spite of the discharged employe Blossier. He
further says that the firm knew what was
coming two weeks ago, and that the Paris
house instructed him by cable to consult
with Roulez and be ready to furnish bonds
to secure the Government for the duties of
which it is said to have been defrauded.
Francis Lynde Stetson, representing Mr.
Twombley and W. K. Vanderbilt, said he
bad communicated with his clients concern
ing the extraordinary developments, and
thattherewould.be no difficulty in reach
ing a satisfactory conclusion of the matters
in which they were interested. Mr. Twom
blev is in North Carolina.

THE CUEING WATERS.
They Are Given TfaelrESeaey by the Bones
of Ralnt Albert One, of the Bones la
Plttibnrg Hew tho Holy "Keilo ''
Came to the Carmelite Fath
ers Prom Rose.
In the honsoVf the Carmelite Fathers,
corner of Fulton street anj' Center avenue,'
is a holy relit It is apieeeof bone from
the body otSt. Albert, whoTdied in Italy in
the year 1306. Just now the priests of the
household are taking pains to let the pub
lic know of the memento, for the reason
that they believe It tdhave efficacy in the
cure of disease when used in blessing water.
And they' announce they would be too
happy to bless water for any of the faithful.
The relic is valuable, too, because it is
only one oftwo.in the United States. The
other is at New Baltimore, Somerset .coun
ty, Pa. These two bones from the saint's
body are authentic, having ,come from the
Pope's household in Rome. The one in
Pittsburg was sent to a priest in Pennsyl
vania 20 years ago, and only found its way
to the Carmelite House recently. After the
death of the saint,, the-miracles wrought by
means of his relics were numerous, and hap
pen even to this day. In Sicily the Carmelite
Fathers arein the habit of blessing certain
wells and springs with the relics, and the
cures that pave followed from the use of the
water are astonishing, especially where the
people are yet imbued with a childlike faith.
HOSEBN MIKACLES.
Even in our days, and right here in
Pennsylvania, there are instances of cures
through the relics of St. Albert. Rev.
Father Pius Meyer, of the Carmelite House
in Pittsburg, who is Superior of the Order
of Carmelites in the United States and Can
ada, who has the relic in his possession, told
The Dispatch re'porter that water blessed
with the piece ot bone would cure diseases,
providing the patients have faith. He knew
of several cures in the Allegheny Mount
ains. Father Best, another inmate of. the house,
related a circumstance wherein Mrs. Severs,
a woman now living at Johnstown, had
been cured almost instantly last winter of
St. Vitus dance by drinking water blessed
with the relic now owned in Somerset
county. She had a -peculiar mania of
throwing lamps out of the window when
her nervous disease came on. The priest
who attended her -was, singularly as it may
seem, named Father Albert, after the saint.
Father-Best says Mrs. Beyers' affliction has
never came back: 'He Called to mind sev
eral othr cures of a similar nature. - The
water may be either used internally or for
baths. In either case, Father Best says, it
is important for the patient to exercise great
faith in the ability of God to work miracles.
SOME ANCIENT CUBES.
St Albert was born at Mount Treano, in
Sicily, in the year 1250. At one time the
city of Messina was" besieged by the King of
Naples. A famine naturally followed, but
the people asked St. Albert to call on the
Blessed Virgin for help, and his prayer was
heard, for soon after four ships laden with
provisions appeared in the harbor, and the
lamine disappeared.
After this St. Albert led a retired life in
the Carmelite Monastery at Messina, and
here God gave him the gift of miracles.
A person about to die on account of a
disease of the throat, was 'brought to the
Saint, who, Jookingon the sick man, said:
,;My son, have yon confidence in Mary's
help?" The man answered in the affirma
tive, and from that moment was completely
cured.
On another occasion, while traveling to
ward Leocate, the Saint. was accosted by a
possessed fellow. The latter struck him on
the cheek, but the Sainf, following the ad
vice of the gospel, turned the other cheek
also. This was an act of humility the devil
could not stand, and the person was freed
from his dominion.
THE FLAME8 JUST GREW.
More Tales of the Sufferings Caused by the

YANKTON, April 6 The stories'or farm
ers who suffered by the flames Tuesday
show that it was no ordinary prairie fire. It
licked np everythingxombustible.and grass,
stubble and wood broke into flames seeming
ly without comTng in contact with fire. The
combustion was almost spontaneous in, the
drv and heated condition of the at
mosphere, set in motion by the ter
rific gale. The cSnditions seemed
similar to those, existing at the time
of the great Chicago fire and the fires in the
Wisconsin woods, when the atmosphere
was almost ready to ignite and burn. An
intense electrical condition also prevailed.
All things considered, the visitation was as
remarkable as it was calamitous.

itous than first Supposed. A revised list of

was unanimously'adopted:
The announcement of tho sudden death of
James Callery, President of the City Sav

gence with more profound sorrow than did
his fellow directors of this bank, which, as
director and President, he has served so

years.
We, therefore, desire to place on record
some testimony, however brief.of the regard
and esteem which many years of intimate
business intercourse have inspired inur,
and which will forever surround bis mem
ory. While his removal is a loss, hardly re
parable to us in many ways, foremost of
these is the feelinr ot personal deprivation,
which at this monjent lar exceeds all lesser
and .more selfish, sentiments. We tender
our sympathies to his bereaved family and
will -attend upon teIast sad rites whereby,
we can attest our appreciation of his worth;
and instruct this minute to be entered upon
the permanent i records of the City
Savings Bank as fee best means Of perpetu

road on a solid financial footing. He made
the necessary western connections, and from

Bradford oil field. Yesterday Superin

the offices to be draped for a period of 20
days out of respect for Mr. Callery's

THE P. k W. PEESIDEN0T.
Stockholders and Bnslness Men Suggest
Harry W. Oliver for the Position.
The sudden death of President Callery, of
the Pittsburg and Western-railroad, whose
careful management has placed the road on
a solid basis, has caused considerable un
easiness on the part of the stockholders and
shippers on the Northside. It was due to
his able conduct of the affairs of the com
pany that made the road a benefit to Alle
gheny business men.
A number of merchants, shippers and
stockholders were spoken to last night in
regard to the probable successor of Mr.
Callery to the presidency and all seemed to
agree that Mr, Harry W.Oliverone of ihe
leading stockholders, would be selected to
fill the position. Nothing, 6t course, will
be done in the matter at present and Mr.
Oliver was not seen in regard to the proba
bility of his succeeding Mr. Callery,

GHOSTS THAT WERE TRANSPARENT.
Two Strange Specter Which Parsaed a
Horseman In Georgia.
A gentleman who recently traveled
through Lincoln county, Georgia.relates the
following ghost story to the Lincolnton
New$:
"A singular Incident happened in my trip
across your county somemonths back which
some of yonr readers may explain. Coming
from Carolina and crossing the river on the
flat of an old-timed and well-behaved
darkey calling hlmselSLawson, mounted
on a gentle bnt spirited animal, purchased
for my special use, from your energetio
countyman Captain Lyon, in Augusta, fol
lowing the direction of a fine-looking old
gentleman, I took the left hand on top of the
hill and followed my nose, passing a com
fortable farm bouse, with numerous fruit
trees, -pea fowls and a half score of pretty
children, then through the woodland in a
cabin at which was a baldheaded man con
versing with a colored girL
"Then came a farmhouse, where a well
mannered lame lad gave me a cool drink of
spring water. Then through woods to a
large frame dwelling from the piazza of
which were spread; eleven beautiful home
made quilts, thence np and down hill until
suddenly my gentle animal became very
excited, and without any warning a female
mounted on a sorrel horse appeared at ray
leftside. She "Wore a cracker bonnet and
was plainly but comfortably dressed and
carried a small bundle. The form and color
of the animal as well as her figure and
clothing were perfectly distinct, but there
was no substance. I could see through her
body and that ot the animal.
"Quieting somewhat my horse, I saluted
her, but I received no return. I gave mj
animal the reins and then he quickened his
gait to almost a run; my companion con
tinued by my side until I reached the cross
roads! There she passed in front and turned
to a house in the grove and I rapirpy con
tinued the follow my nose in the direction
of Thomson. "Was that a ghost? It cer
tainly was not flesh and blood. I do not
intend to travel that road at night, ghost or
no ghost, without company."
HOW OWLS FIGHT.
Two Bis Birds Battle With Each Other
Until Both Die.
Lewliton Journal.!
John Pettingill, of East Auburn, mana
ger of the Lake Grove menagerie, tells the
story of how two owls kept at the grove, last
season, fought to a finish. They were kept
at the grove during the summer in separate
cages, but when winter drew nigh and the
menagerie went into winter quarters at the
proprietor's barn, they were placed in a
wire prison together. They had not been
there long before they began fighting:
"How do yon suppose they went at it?"
said John In telling the story. "Did yon
ever see a couple of owls fight? Well, the
way they did was to hook their claws to
gether and then pull and tug and flap their
wings and holler like good ones, as though
trying to pull each other's legs out.
"Occasionally they broke away from each
other's talons, but wouldn't be long before
they; were mashed in again. It was a terri
ble fight and they hung to it for a long
time. At last one of them the smaller ot
the two, gave up the ghost and the big fel
low was cock o the walk. Well, sir, I'll
be blanked if the champion, he was awful
mad, didn't tackle the cage. He hooked in
around several of the wires with his claws
and pulled and tore around there till he
killed himself and the two famous owls lay
dead in the bottom of the cage together."

Even the most superstitious would hard
ly associate luck with a parasol. Yet there
is a queer story associated with a parasol
now in a well-known dealer's store.
"Xou see that piece of plaided silk in
that parasol," said the dealer. "Well, it is
American-made and it was while the firm
in Pittsburg was makingiit last winter that
the cyclone came and carried off the roof of
the factory and most of its content. Well
the man that made that parasol was going
home a few days afterward on a windy
evening and a shutter fell on him and broke
one of his arms.
"A few weeks ago it was sold. Within
a day or two the lady who purchased it
came back and begged us to exchange it,
explaining that her husband was a naval
officer on one of the war-ships wrecked by
the hurricane at Samoa and in the absence
of definite information she expected to be a
widow and have to wear mourning. But
that is not all. Yon observe the handle is
broken. The girl was closing the case last
night and this parasol slipped down and the
handle broke. They call it an unlucky
parasol now and nobody dares touch it but
myself."
THE SQUIRE'S WONDERFUL CAT.
Havlncno Kittens. She Adopted a Nest of
Orphaned Rabbits.
Toccoa 3a.) News.
'Squire J. T. Mulkey, has a cat that pos
sesses motherly affection, though she has
never had any children of her own. The
other day, in her rambles, she discovered a
nest of young rabbits abont the size of little
kittens. So pussey grabbed one in her
mouth and started home with it, her tail
straight up in the air; manifesting a hicrh
degree df cat pride. For 24 hours she nestled
and purred, around the baby rabbit, as
happy as a little girl with a baby doll.
Finally some one of the family took the
rabbit away and put. it in a box where it
conld be fed. At first Mrs. Tabby mourned
for the loss of her baby; but after awhile
she started ofi and brought back another
rabbit from the nest and she takes great
motherly pride in watching over the new
found baby, and if she could feed it her
cup ot feline happiness would evidently be
lull.' '
