EVERYBODY TO BE TREATED FEEE, The Coal Hen Are Pleased With the Prog- ress ot the "Work. A. DESCRIPTION OP THE BUHDING8 The plans and specifications of the four cottage hospitals to be erected for the care an3 maintenance of coal miners in the bi tuminous and semi-bituminous Pennsylva nia regions by the State, were received in this city yesterday by Commissioner B. H. French, and are now on exhibition at his office on Fourth avenue. They -were made in.the office of James H. Windrim, of Phil adelphia, who has since been appointed Supervising Architect of the Government at Washington. Proposals -will be received from Pittsburg contractors for the work, and the commis sion will meet Jane 12 in Philadelphia, to award the contract. The plans show that the hospitals will be 144- feet long and will be built of brick, stone and wood. They will be but one story in height, with the exception of the center, where there will be an upper story, 36 feet long, for the accom modation of the attendants and manager of the hospital. PEETTY XSD C02rV2JIElfT. A high, low and wide porch will encircle the whole building. At the entrance to the building will be the office and operating room, with a long corridor between them. Upon eaoh side ot the corridor will be the sick wards. On the sides of the wards will be windows looking out upon the grounds. As many windows as possible will be put in, thus affording sufficient ventilation. A large dining room will also be in the rear of the building. The hospitals will cost about S13.000 each, exclusive of the furniture. On account of there being so many hos pitals in this city, which are largely sup ported by the State, it was deemedunneces sory to locate one of the cottages in Pitts burg or Allegheny. The nearest one to this city will be at MEBCER OB COKKELLSVILLE. The hospitals are not strictly intended for the use of men injured in the mines, but any other accidental cases will be taken in and treated free of charge. The stafl physi cians will be made np of the local doctors in the different localities. Many have already volunteered the use of their services gratis. Each hospital will have a mortuary chapel attached to it, where dead bodies may be placed, to await disposition by friends. John Plannery, ex-Secretary of the old Coal Miners Association, said yesterday, "The miners of "Western Pennsylvania are very much pleased at the prompt manner in which the commission is doing its work, and they are satisfied with the different locations. It is un derstood among them, that the hospitals will be but auxilliaries to the otier large institutions throughout the State. If a poor man is injured nowit will not be necessary to transport him several hundred miles to a place where he will be treated." tCommnnlcated.! OPINIONS ON PROHIBITION'. ri8 MAJOR HAEPEE BOBIED. lint TmnrmilvH Ktvta TT1A a W, His Funeral. ie funeral of the late Major Samuel er took place yesterday. At 2 o'clock "astor, pastor of the Grace P. K. , Mt. Washington,conducted a short it the house, on Grand view avenue, "uneral cortege started for St. An il Church on Ninth street. Ar weai 3 o'clock the bier was car fc. p the church, where the simple burial services of the Protestant Episcopal faith were held. The pallbearers we're Judge Collier, Charles C. Baer, James B. Youngson, Mr. Buchanan, James Kerr, Jr., Prof. Pw M. Cargo, George T. Oliver and Stephen McCandless. After the ser vices at the church the funeral procession proceeded to the Allegheny Cemetery, where the remains were interred. Special services were conducted at the grave by the "Blue Lodge" of the Masonic order. A meeting of the Bar Association was held yesterday at noon to take action on the death of Major Harper. A minute, elo quent in its tributes, was adopted. How the Leading Pastors of Reading-Ee-card the Amendment. Ironi the Public Ledger or Philadelphia. J Beading, Pa., May 16. About a dozen of the city'pastors remained away from the meeting of Beading ministers called to take action with reference to the organization of a Ministerial Prohibition Association. These absentees were seen to-day and asked their reasons for remaining away, and it ap pears that they are opposed to prohibition. Their views are eagerly discussed. Bev. Dr. William P. Orrick, Sector of Christ Cathedral, said: "Prohibition has not proved successful where it has been tried, and therefore I am willing to try the high license measure." Bev. B. D. -Zweizig, who is probably the most widely known clergyman in Eastern Pennsylvania, being pastor of six country congregations, said: "Personally I am con scientiously opposed to the prohibition amendment and do not hesitate to state so. I do not think that the Scriptures warrant any such thing as prohibition and regard such a thing as extreme." i Tier. J. Heister Leinbach, a Beformed clergyman, said: "I prefer a law that can be enforced, and not an extreme law that will become a dead statute. The law, as it is being enforced in some parts of the State, Philadelphia, and Pittsburg is far better MlUiiCUGI tv tuiuai JJ1UU1U1HUU tiuu ue extreme measures of prohibition itself." Bev. L. B. Dalrymple, rector ot St Bar nabas' Episcopal Church, said: "All .expe rience shows that laws in advance of public opinion cannot be enforced, and I should fear, in the case of prohibition in Pennsyl vania, a result similar to that in Bhode Island." Bev. W. H. Myers, of Grace Lutheran Chnrch, said: "I am as much opposed to prohibition as I am opposed to drunken ness. If prohibition carries, we will fill our cities with club rooms and make of our citizens a set of sneaks. I vastly prefer high license." Bev. J. J. Kindig, of St John's Lutheran Church, said "that he was opposed to pro hibition because it abridged the personal liberty of the people, but he was in favor of high license." From the Hew York San.l The voters of Massachusetts drove the prohibition amendment deeper into the ground than the Bunker Hill Monument stands above it The cities were almost all against prohibition, and it is' noticeable that some of them which, under the present local option system, grant no licenses, were not the least hostile to the amendment In view of the experience which Massachusetts has had of the effect of liquor restriction and liquor prohibition, her verdict and judg ment of the two systems will have great weight wherever elsewhere the Prohibition ists make their battle. It is the verdict and judgment of a community acquainted with all the facts, and before which the most convinced and eloquent advocates have spoken. Everywhere Prohibitionists have enthusiasm. In .Massachusetts they had plenty of money, the support of the power ful surviving elements of Puritanism, the support of influential persons and policies in the Bepublican partv. They were badly beaten in what might be considered their own territory. Beaten in Texas, Michigan, Tennessee, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, only ex isting by the force of habit or contempt in States where it is not enforced, prohibition seems to have, as was said of Alfred de Musset, a glorious future behind it LOOMS FOE LEAKS Around the Grass-Grown Base of Herron Hill's Lofty Reservoir CHANGE IN MAKE-UP.

Lily "Warner, of Cedar avenue, Alle gheny, yesterday reported that upon return ing to her home, after shopping yesterday morning, she found her house occupied by an intruder, who had locked the door so that she could not unlock it with her key from the outside. The burglar had entered evidently by a window. By threa'ts Miss "Warner gained admit tance, and, as she says, found inside a well known Allegheny character, who had robbed one of her trnnks of clothing and jewelry amounting to $200 in valne. However, her story is that she choked the fellow, made him take her rings off his fin gers and leave the place without any plun der. She'did not complain or cause his arrest, so his name is not given. BEST INGRAIN CARPETS AT IT CENTS.

Yesterday afternoon, however, a Dispatch representative re ceived an assignment to such work in its literal meaning. It was to go hunting for tho4e alleged leaks in the Herron Hill reservoir. Incidentally he was also in structed to explore the abandoned coal mines in Minersville. The reservoir leaks and the subterranean, lakes of those mines have been publicly blamed during the past week for producing the big volume of water that is constantly swelling the great pond at Center avenue and Soho street A tramp around the Herron Hill reser voir aud careful inspection of the ground developed beyond any doubt whatever the fact that it is leaking, 'and Mr. John "W. McGimusev. the watchman, who has onlv been off duty one day in seven years, states that it has leaked ever since he went on watch. EAST EEMEDT SUGGESTED. Between the Teservoir and Herron avenue a family named Bice lives. A boy belong ing to the family stated that the spring in their lot was yielding more water than when they moved there April 1, but he didn't know the reason. A lady stated that she noticed that the flowing water on Madison street was greater than usual, and she supposed it came from the reservoir. It was also stated that the stable of a man named Harrison, near the embankment on the north side, was loosed from its mooring.by the water, causing the earth's epidermis to slip some years ago. Mr. Robert Arthurs also said that the reservoir had been leaking for years, and mat it mignt De stopped at email cost He stated that Captain "Williams, the river man, once had a man in his employ who could have remedied the matter in a short time. The plan was to put him in the reser voir in a boat and allow him to move slowly around and at the same time allow the water to subside gradually. By keeping the surface unruffled the ripple caused by the' escaping water would show when the de fects' were reached an,d they could be calked, so that that portion of the" basin would be better than any other ever afterward. THE LEAKS ABE SMALL. Messrs. Arthurs and "Williams made a study of the matter and came to the conclu sion that the removal of the lining and re puddling would be entirely unnecessary ex cept to moke a job. for some hungrycon tractor. Around Municipal Hall the leaks are not deemed important Superintendent Brown, of the "Water Department, said it was a mis take to believe that so much water came from . the alleged leakage. He said it bubbled up from springs on s,ome streets near the reservoir, and that the old cool mines furnished most of the water which comes from the upper end of Minersville. These mines are near the reservoir. The loss of water is never felt at the reservoir, Superintendent Brown ex plained, and the basin will be found one of the soundest in the citv. Other officials said tney knew small leaks existed at the reservoir, out there was more or less leakage from ail the reservoirs. It cannot he helped. THE OLD COAL MINES. Many people believe the water that has been giving trouble comes from the aban doned coal pits, and a good bit of it does. By the waytherq, .is. some interesting an cient history "connected with these coal pits with which only old residents are familiar. Mr. .Bobert Arthurs' father owned the mine that once supplied all old Pittsburg with COal. He leased it for a lone term of troor.' for $300 a year, a sum which was eventually insufficient to pay the taxes on the propertv. or a time the lessee did not more than make expenses, owing to the badness of the road leading down to the citv.

In the County Commissioners' office it was reported yesterday that the election tickets were ready to be sent out; that is,the number they bad on hand. The commis sioners received 140,000 tickets from Harris burg, bnt this was not near enough, and they had to write for 160,000 more. The Harrisburg authorities estimated the Toting population of Allegheny county to be 80,000, whereas the register shows it to be 108,000. The calculation on the number of tickets is made on the basis ot ljf tickets for each voter on both the Con stitutional amendment and suffrage amend ment. It is expected that the tickets will be distributed next week.

His four-horse teams could haul 100 bushels at a load, and he sold the uuexpirea portion of the lease for $16,000,' a tidy sum 60 years ago. Mr. Arthurs paid $40 an acre ior his ground up thers in 1820 and subsequently sold the bulk of it at $100 an acre. He considered that he did well, and looking at the matter from a common-sense standpoint he did, for he was thus enabled to live comfortably and take good care of his children, while some of his cotempor aries lived close, forfeited ,he respect of their children and after death their disem bodied spirits, if they had imperishable ones, had the mortification to know that outside of a limited circle their earthl-r owners' memories rotted almost as soon as their memories. BETTEB BAEGAINS MADE. TheHerrons did rather better on their coal possessions than did Mr. Arthurs, for their mines were not exhausted more than 25 years ago, and they got a part of the profit of coal mining themselves. TheEwarts did still better, as theirmines were not wholly abandoned until two years ago, and Mr. George L. Whitney, who in vested in that locality some years ago, got coal for his own use out of his own property untjl the scent of natural gas made him tip his nose at "one of the essential ele ments of modern civilization," as it was regarded hereabouts before the discov ery of ffiriform fluid fuel. The first inclined plane, for tJm tni-n of expediting the handling of coaf in Pittsburg, was built to get the coal from the .o-ituura uuiuc it was Duni oy a man named Jenkins, and had more honor, in its day, as a milestone in the path of progress than would an inclined plane bnilt tn thL summit of Mt.
