Applicants from the Third ward of Mc
Xeesport, Spring Garden, Sharpsbnrg and
Yerona were heard at the morning session
of License Court During the entire day
97 applicants went through. At one point
the Court became impatient at the persistent
actirity of ttife temperance advocates, and
remarked: "I get impatient at the temper
ance people hammering at every one. I
think they should help me in making proper
selections. They nave the information as to
the best houses and should give it to me. I
want the information given to me in open
court. I will talk to no one privately on
this question. The applicants should tell
me honestly if iheir houses are better than
some others."
Mrs. Hester, of McKleesport, told an af
fecting story and also save the temperance
people a tongue-lashing for what she
claimed was a malicious prosecution on
their part. She had her nine children with
her in court. The oldest is 18. Her hus
"band was killed a year ago in the National
Soiling .Mill. Her pathetic story exerted
a marked effect on Judge White.

workhouse and his opponent five months.
The First ward, Verona, had four applicants
who were not detained long. Henry Udn was
the only man from the Second ward. His
license had been taken away during the past
year. , Attorney Bowand presented a well
signed petition, asking that Mr. Elkin be civet,
a license, and that the Allegheny Valley Rail
road picnic grounds be closed, as these grounds
were the cause of the trouble at that point.
The afternoon session opened with West Lib
rty borough, which sent up three applicants.
They were told that there would probably be
one licensed bouse there next year.
August Ahlborn, Baldwin township, opened
np the rural district. John Mullaley, Superin
tendent for Heeling's coal mines, testified that
be took two men to Ahlbom's honse to get
boarding for them. Mrs. Ahlborn said she had
no servant and couldn't bother with them, so
be took them to an unlicensed bouse, where
they were accommodated.
There were 17 applicants from Baldwin. The
only other one questioned closely was Gottleib
Voltsch, who was refused last year. Mr. Christy
presented a communication from Arthur Low,
saying Voltsch had sold to drunkards and
would not deny it. Voltsch said the man was
The Chartiers township applicants were four
in number, of whom 8. H. McCartney and
Thomas Seymour hare license now. McCart
ney denied that there had been cock fighting
or dog fighting at his place. Seymour's exami
nation was about his accommodations.
John Storch was the only applicant from
Collier township. There was no license in the
township last year and the applicant thought
there should be a house to accommodate the
traveling public ... ,
Thomas Scarfield was likewise the only ap
plicant from Forward township, and thought
there was necessity for a licensed house. At

tion, and the Court informed him that there

honse was built for the business, and he had al

urday. He was returned for selling to minors,

as he has all his money invested In theproperty,
he wants a chance to make some money to pay
off a certain debt. fc
Thomas Hulings was from Harmar township.
He was not aware that the Court had made a
temperance township out of Harmar. He bad
a good house and excellent stabling accommo
dations. Joseph A Shanl, of Harmar township, did
not answer.
William Hartz was from Indiana township,
and has a license. He takes in from $5 to 10 a
day from liquor and the nighest amount during
the 3 ear was $15. Mr. Christy tried to trip the
applicant up about his having sold to minors
and intoxicated men, but failed.
William King nd Phillip Thomas are also
from Indiana township, and have a license.
They take in from $5 to $10 per day, and $15 was
the highest amount. Judge White remarked
that the amount of business done by both
houses showed that there was no necessity for
a licensed house in that township.

Peter Schmitt was refused last year. He
admitted having sold beer during this year;
and the subsequent proceedings interested him
no more
Frank Weineiheimer wore a large sized smile
as he faced the Court and said he was refused
last year. He thought he ought to have a li

in his neighborhood from carrying kegs up the
hill on their backs. He admitted that Winters'
brewery wagon was up in his neighborhood; but
he never saw the Winters' butter milk wagon.
Judge White 1 have marked down here on
my book: "A good-looking man, who appears
to be very fair and truthful."
Mr. Weineiheimer That suits me, sir.
A petition was presented, asking for a trans
fer of the application of Amand Fierle (who
died last week), to his wife. This was granted
by Judge White, who took occasion to remark
that the physician's certificate in that case was
but poorly made out, and if he had known that
the man was in a dangerous condition he would
not have ordered him in court.
The entire county will he finished Mon
day, and on Tuesday the wholesale dealers
will probably be taken np. It is expected
that they will be finished in about three days.
POSSIBLE P. & W. CHAUGES.

A MYSTERY SOLYED.
The Bloodless History of Those
Skunk Hollow Cannon Balls.
THEY WERE USED IH TESTING GUNS
The Charming Eeminiscences Brought Out
By the Discovery.
A REMARKABLE SOUTHSIDE COUPLE
A mytery is solved. This morning THE
Dispatch is able to tell its readers Ihe
true story of those cannon balls dug out of
the earth a few days ago by the laborers of
Booth & Plinn up the Thirty-third street
hollow. Ever since the discovery the most
profound thinkers of that classic valley
have been greatly agitated. They believed
they were on the eve oi important histori
cal revelations. Skunk Hollow, as the
scene of one of the early games of hide-and-seek
between the French, and Indian sneaks
and the British soldiery, might even yet
change the whole face of Pittsburg's pioneer
maps. It is hard to tell just how much
would be lost if the Battle of Skunk Hol
low has been really omitted from the pages
of history. If the theory of the Thirty
third street sages were substantiated it
might be possible to prove that Ben Venue
station sits upon the site of Old Fort Du
quesne, instead of upon made ground over
an abandoned millrace.
But the denizens of Skunk Hollow may
sleep sound to-night. The cannon balls
have a bloodless history. There is con
vincing proof that the French and Indians
never took a scalp within the narrow con
fines of the valley; that even the towering
heights of Fort Herron were never stormed,
although its entrenchments thrown up dur
ing the "War of the Rebellion were to pro
tect the same little hollow; and the only
bloodshed the neighborhood has ever seen
was during the railroad riots.
HOW THET GOT THEEE.
The cannon balls themselves gave no in
dications of how many human bosoms they
had plowed through before burying them
selves in the hill alongside of the Pennsyl
vania railroad. The Dispatch grew dis
couraged in its search among the maps and
archives of the "Western Pennsylvania His
torical Association. French manuscripts
preserved from Fort Duquesne were eagerly
translated, but they yielded nothing.
Light broke through the cobwebs of an
tiquity at last It, came from the direotion
of the South Side. Following np the gleam
yesterday the writer found living at No.
705 Carson street, Mr. C. T. Chiverly. "His
straight, agile frame, bright eyes, strong
voice and perfect health gave him the ap
pearance of a man not more than 55. In
reality he is in his 70th year.
"I hauled those cannon balls out there
myself," he said, stroking his tiny white
imperial. "Let's see; it must have been in
the year 1833 or 1834.
"Why, it was in 1833, for that was the
year you aud I were married," broke in the
old gentleman's wife.
The recollection evidently pleased her,
lor she laughed lightly. "My mem'ry is
better than yours, pap, and I am 73 years
old."
Sho looked every bit of her age. Stooped
in form, with a thin face, silvery hairs
carefully brushed back beneath a black lace
head dress, Mrs. Chiverly seemed just the
kind of a trail lady for the broad shoulders
and steady arms of her consort to protect.
Then of all the charming reminiscences
those two aged people wove around the can
non balls! The history they gave was
bloodless, but most interesting.
testing famous cannon.
"Far back in those days," continued Mr.
Chiverly, "I was driving a team for 'Squire
Jack Sarver, one of the pioneers, of Law
renceville. These cannon ball I hauled from
the arsenal, and from McClurg & "Wade's
foundry. I took them to the creek which
used to flow into the Allegheny river
where Thirty-third street now extends, then
up along the creek by what was then known
as Denny's Hollow. Up this hollow a short
distance, just about where these balls have
been found, was located the proving grounds
for the testing of cannon made at McClurg
& Wade's foundry. This foundry, you will
remember, was afterward owned by the cele
brated Knapp & Bodman, and, as the Fort
Pitt Foundry was the scene of the building
of great guns for the army, on the proving'
grounds of Denny Hollow all the guns were
tested, and "
"Yes, indeed," interrupted Mrs. Chiver
ly, "we girls used to go out there, stand
near the cannons, and watch them firing the
guns off. It was fine sport. That was be
fore we were married."
"You see these cannon balls were fired
into the hillside." resumed the less romantic
hnsband. "Major Butler was then com
mandant at the arsenal. Boger Jeffries,
now living in Lawrenceville, is the only
survivor of the soldiers then on duty at the
arsenal. Billy Johnston kept a well-known
tavern not far from the proving grounds.
One of the cannons had a too heavy charge
once, and the 24-pound ball knocked half
the root off the tavern. I tell you Billy
was mad. This was long before Bodman
had invented the guns which saved the na
tion during the Rebellion."
A MOUNTAIN "WAGONEE.
"Both our fathers were butchers," once
more spoke np the kindly wife. "Christo
pher Chiverly, my man's father, had his
slaughterhouse in Lawrenceville .and his
stall in the old-time Pittsburg market. Mv
father's slaughter house was downtown, but
his stall was just next to Chiverly. Every
body knew th,e two butchers. My father's
name was Francis McBane. I guess no one
is now living to whom he sold meat"
"But I had been a wagoner long before
that," said Mr. Chiverly. "When I was
only 14 years old'I was the driver of one of
the largest Conestoga wagons on the Phila
delphia road. It took me 16 days to make
the trip from Pittsbnrg to Philadelphia,and
the same time to drive backfrom the Quaker
City to Pittsburg. I then drove for the Dun
bars. There were three of them ; John.Mose
and Alexander. We hauled general mer
chandise, and. as it was long before the
canals we had tremendous loads.
"I was the youngest driver on the road,
and was up to all the deviltry known in the
Allegheny Mountains. We had "regular
stopping places for the nights during our
trips. For instance, after leaving Pittsbnrg
the first place we stopped at for the night
was at either Billy McCall's or the Perch
ment hostelry on the Turtle Creek hill.
About the best known place we stopped off
at east of the mountains was Sam Widle's
tavern at Brandywine, Chester county.
Everybody knew Sam. Mine host was a
hearty old German, and held his popularity
with the Quakers well.
' NIGHT IN THE TAVERNS.
"Many a night Ixlaid on the floor of
Widle's place witn tne late Pittsburg irpn
manufacturer, Jacob Painter. He was then
a wagoner like myself. We carried with
us, rolled up in neat packages, a small
mattress and a'slngle coverlet On these
Painter and I used to lie before the tavern
fire at night and tell stories until one or the
other of us dropped ofl to sleep. There "
"I stopped all that kind of work after we
got married," laughed Mrs. Chiverly.
"Home was "
"At another time I drove a wagon over
the mountains for a man named Tubbs. In
looking over some old papers the other day
I discovered that he still owes me a little
bill for driving. Then I drove for General
.Moorhead, and after that for John Darragh,
who was shot in Pierce Brennan's place on
Fifth street a very long time ago."
''That reminds me that I Eaw hnng the
first man ever executed by the law in Pitts
burg," put in Mrs. Chiverly. "His name
was Tiernan, and he killed Campbell. We
PITTSBUEQ- DISPATCH,
lived near the Jail, and I carried Tiernan
many a meal out of my mother's kitchen.
After he was dead my lather wrote Tiernan s
wife a letter, telling her of her husband s
fate,"
OLD-TIME HOSTELEIES.
"My mountain team consisted of six sor
rels," continued the old man, "and it was
a hell team, too, if you have ever heard
your mother tell "what that is. I had an 18
barrel wagon a big one it was. TTpon
reaching Pittsburg I always stopped at the
Spread Eagle Hotel, because it had a big
wagon yard. It stood where the Seventh
Avenue Hotel is now; Another popular
wagon yard was Fluke's ign of the Golden
Horse. It was on Liberty street, where the
American Honse now exists. It was more
of a stage coach tavern, on account oi the
good accommodations for travelers. Old
Ben Weaver kept the Mansion Hcpse, at
the corner of Fifth avenue and Wood street.
A very large wagon yard was Sturgeon's,
at the corner of Wood and Diamond streets.
These hotels were all patronized by me from
1825 to 1840."
It is hard to tell where this crazy-quilt of
historical patches would have ended if the
reporter had sat still an hour longer. Mem
ories of political campaigns were just on
the old gentleman's tongue as the writer
arose to go. As he tnrned the knob of the
door the quaint little hostess had jnst that
moment thought of some other episodes of
the courtshipof long ago. Both dissolved
into an invitation to call again.
A BEMABEABLE MAN.
Mr. Chiverly works at daily labor in a
sawmill at Jeanette, the new town on the P..
R. R. That place is 26 miles distant from
Pittsburg. This sturdy workman of 70
years leaves his home on the Southside every
morning at 5 o'clock, walks a mile and a
half to the Union depot, travels the 26 miles
uy train, returns over tne same u "
journey every evening, walks to Seventh
street, Southside, again and sleeps a health
ier sleep than .many a younger man. His
oldest son, now 50 years of age, is nearly so
old looking as his father that the two are
more frequently taken for brothers than for
father and son. Mr. Chiverly has not used
diquor for nearly 20 years, and has abstained
from tobacco for 17 years. The result is
that he has never, even to this day, been
compelled to use a cane in walking.
"I was never intoxicated but once in my
life." he said.
"And I told him that he should never
come back to me drunk again," she said,
"and he never did."
'Going to vote for Constitutional amend
ment, Mr. Chiverly?" asked the reporter.
"You bet"
THEIE WORK WELL DONE.
Allegheny Council Pass Appropriate Eeio.
lotions In Memory of Peter Waltor, Jr.,
and James Callery.
Both branches of the Allegheny Councils
held a joint meeting yesterday to take ac
tion on the death of Peter Walter, Jr., a
member of Common Council, and James
Callery, formerly a member of Select
Council. .
Two committees of five each were ap
pointed to draw up appropriate resolutions.
In the preamble the committee spoke of
Mr. Walter's energy, his kindness to the
poor and weak and tne vigor with which he
opposed an antagonist. His fellow members
regretted his demise, and spoke of the loss
to the Fourth ward, which Mr. Walter
had represented in Council for 13,vears.
The other committee referred feelingly to
Mr. Callery's sterling character, and the
part he had taken in contributing to the
material wealth of the city. His sudden
death was deeply deplored by Councils.
After the resolutions had been read short
addresses were made by different members.
The virtues and life-work of both men were
extolled. Among those who spoke were
President Hunter, Mr. Wertheimer and Mr.
Gerwig.
The resolutions were ordered to be placed
on the minutes of both branches of Council.
A committee of five was appointed to
make arrangements to have Councils attend
the funeral of Mr. Walter in a body this
afternoon. The 32 carriages will be at the
City Hall at 2 o'clock this afternoon.

and was elected. Miss Campbell, upon the
recommendation of the Warden, was elected
matron of the jail. The present Board of
Managers of the workhouse was re-eleted.
The matter of transferring the female
prisoners at the jail to the present hospital
department to secure a more complete
separation of the male and female prisoners
and to establish the hospital somewhere
else, was to have been brought up, but was
not for some reason. At the previous meet
ing of the board the Quarterly Committee,
composed of Judge Slagle, Mayor Pearson
and County Commissioner Mercer, recom
mended that such transfer be made, having
investigated the case. There were eight
members of the board present, and a division
occurred on the motion to adopt this course.
A vote was taken resulting in a tie, and the
motion was lost- The matter at present is
in statu quo.
GOT THE WE0NG LOT.
Sirs. Palrmnn Asks the Conrt to Change the
Number of Lot No. 67.
A bill in equity was filed yesterday by
Anna Fairman againrh U. -W. Feegarden,
executor of John Keenan, and the heirs of
Keenan. The plaintiff states that her father,
John Keenan, deeded a lot, numbered 67,
to her, in West Elizabeth. She erected a
house on lot No. 68, next to 67, Ho. 68 being
the one her father pointed out to her and in
tended to give her. He made a mistake in
the number of the lot in making the deed,
the description of both lots being the same.
She having erected the house on lot No.
68, now wants a decree of court to change
the number on the deed from 67 to 68, to
make clear her title.
Payne Explains.
t Senator Payne, of the Standard Oil Com
pany, passed through the city to Cleveland
from Washington yesterday. He said he
had nothing personal against Editor Hal
stad, but his paper bad lied about him.
Mr. Payne thinks if Harrison persists in
nominating "him, he will cause a split in the
Republican party. He doesn't believe Hal
stead will be the next Governor of Ohio.
No New Bridge Needed.
-Mr. F. W. Eoebling says he 4 not here
; for the purpose of building a new bridge, as
rumored. He says a traction road could
easily be run across the Sixth street bridge.
An engineer has pronounced the bridge
perfectly safe. Building a new bridge
farther "up the river would necessitate a
number of carves in the road, which should
be avoided.

STOTDAY, JAPEflL 7,
' MILK FOR MONDAY.
How tho City Dealers Hay Secure It From
the Fanners' Agent.
The threatened milli famipa to-morrow
may be easily averledtf consuiners insist on
the dealers supplying'them as usual. The
milk mav be easily obtained by the dealers
from F. C. Reed, pf the Chartiers Creamery
Company, who has be6fi appointed agent for
the Milk Producers" Union of Western
Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio.
Dealers wishing to get their usual supply
of milk on Monday must st apply to the
office of the Chartiers Cftreamery Company
for order slips., This oHee 4s at No. 616
Liberty street Sir. Reed says it will be
open as early as 5!30 Monday morning to
enable the dealers to get the order slips.
With such slips the dealers may then get
the milk at the trains. Heretofore dealers
have been accustomed to getting the milk
direct from the trains. The new method
will give "better satisfaction all around.
The Producers' Union U formed of hun
dreds of farmers And, dairymen fa the seven
counties of . Pennsylvania contiguous to
Pittsburg, and of the neighboring counties
in Ohio. Yestefdayand the day before a
great many new 'farmers took, out cards of
membership and signed the agreement to
ship all their mflkjo Mr. Reed. A consti
tution has already been" printed, and the
combination is now one- of the strongest ever
formed in. this parf of the country. Its only
purpose is to free the milk business of un
reliable persons, and to give the thousands
of city consumers an absolutely pure quality
of the lacteal fluid.
Some of the largest milk dealers in the
city sent word to the office of the creamery
yesterday that they tfould regularly here
after get their milk'through the new agency.
Among these was an extensive Southside
dealer. He begins on, Monday morning
early. Mr. Heed is confident that when
once inaugurated dealersgenerally will find
the new system an improvement on the old
one and a benefit to all.
A GRAND EASTER DISPLAY.
Young and Old Delighted by a Laudable
Piece of Enterprise.
The exclamations of pleasure and delight
that fell from the lips of the hundreds who
yesterday crowded the sidewalk in front of
Kaufmann's large cornerwtadow were justi
fied by the artlstia and magnificent display
within. Through handsome groups of trop
ical plants and flowers 'the eye beholds a
moving panorama of Easter tableaux both
unique and original. The great emblem of
Easter, the egg, is, of course, all prevalent,
and is exhibited from the regular hen's size
to one in which the little boy can play
"hide and seek." Ihe chariot races come
in lor a large share of admiration. The
chariots in this case are beautiful floral egg
shells; instead of horses, droll, long-eared
bunnies, white aft snow, bounding and leap
ing as only rabbits can, while the reins are
held by gayly-dressed boys little Lord
Fauntleroy being the most conspicuous.
The center of the window represents the
well-known scene of Bedloe'&Jsland, with a
10-foot high statue of Liberty, made of im
mortelles, -while two little sailor boys,
seated in a large floral skiff, are rocked and
mocked by the waves below. Taken
altogether the display is beantiful, and is
another feather in Kaufmanns' cap.

THE CABLE CXC GRIP SUPERSEDED.
A New Invention of Frnctteal Worth.
Extensive experiment with the cable
railway system has thus far proved that it
required many improvements before the
cost of operating ana maintaining could be
reduced to an economic basis. The first
and paramount objection that stockholders
have urged against such investments was the
enormous annual outlay for cables, which,
with the most careful usage rarely last over
eight months, some not half that long.
When it is known that the cable for a five
mile roa.d costs $90,000, it will be seen j hat
value can be attached to the inventive skill
that obviates this objection. The gripping
arrangement of the cable system has always
been defective, and there is on no road in
operation a device employed that does not
propel the cars by means of gripping the
rope. This naturally causes a constant wear
and permits the operator to give his car
only the speed allowed by the cable. As to
reversing the car in case of an accident or
street blockade, -the gripman and the occu
pants are powerless. To the solution of this
apparently unsurmountable problem of me
chanics, the best American inventive genius
has been employed, but after all it was left
for a Pittsburger to carry off the palm of
success. The inventor ot an. apparatus de
signed to take the place of the gripping at
tachment, Mr. Joseph Williams, Jr., has
beyond a donbt succeeded in, perfecting an
apparatus that must supersede the objection
able crip. If any importance may be at
tached to the assertions of expert mechanical
and construction engineers who have ex
amined the working of the apparatus, the
disadvantages of operating a cable system
have been entirely overcome.
The device consists principally of a series
of friction wheels through which power is
conveyed direct to the driving wheels of the
car. The speed of the car is entirely inde
pendent of the speed of the cable that is,
it can be rnn at any desired speed, either
forward or backward, operating equally in
dependent of the direction of the cable.
This latter is one of the most novel features
of the invention, as a car can be run either
waypn a single line, and is always at the
command of the operator.
Mr. Joseph Williams, Jr., the inventor,
is not unknown in the world of mechanism,
having perfected a number of appliances of
direct benefit to the advance of science. His
last achievment is a notable one, and if one
may judge of the interest it has created
among the cable companies ot this city and
at other points, the cable railway system of
the country is in a fair way to be placed on
the plane of perfected modern progress.
MEASURING GAS MINUTELY.
Why the New Westlngbouse Gas Dieter
Senders Itself a Necessity for All Con
sumers of Gas.
The merits of any article of conmerce can
not be better tested than by thn verdict of
public opinion.
This fact has been thoroughly exemplified
in the sale ot the new Westinghouse gas
meter, which was described and illustrated
in The Dispatch about three weeks age.
Since that time over 1,000 of these meters
have been sold and put into the houses oi
gas consumers of Pittsburg and its vicinity,
which proves that the people are as anxious
to adopt a good thing as they are ready to
condemn a bad one.
That the Westinghouse meter is the best
article which can, be had for the purpose of
measuring gas, and measuring it accurately,
is a fact as easily demonstrated, as it is
proved that all others are incapable of doing
the work. The reason why the old ones are
unreliable is simply this: While the prin
ciples of their design were not only imper
fect and'faulty, the material out of which
tBey were constructed was also of such a
character that a reliable result was impos
sible to be obtained therefrom. The other
meters have leather diaphragms, from
which the gas rapidly absorbs the moistur,
makes them dry and in a short time hard.
Then the leather warps and binds, causing
such a disorder in the working parts of the
meter that accurate measuring of gas is an
utter impossibility.
The Westinghouse meter, however, is so
constructed that it cannot get out of order.
The mechanical parts are all made out of
iron, brass or steel, remaining totally un
affected from their contact with the gas, and
they are in such perfect balance "so as to
work as a unit on the smallest possible fric
tion, assuring a constant accuracy of meas
urement and a durability heretofore un
equaled by any gas meter. To illustrate
the delicacy of the mechanical parts of the
meter and to prove its unvarying accuracy
of perfect measurement, it need lut be said
that it requires only a pressure of a thou
sandth part of a pound to put the meter to
work and run it.
It is evident from these advantages pos
sessed by the Westinghouse gas meter that
it is the most desirable device for all con
sumers of natural gas. On account of its
acenracy and reliable method of working, it
gives people the assurance that they only.
pay lor as much gas as they use. it is,
therefore, a direct means of economy.
