Ideas of the Public's Higher Students, as They Appear in Print. IA2GE AUDIENCES IN BOTH CASKS The annual commencement of the Pitts burg Central High School was held last night at the Bijou Theater. Every seat in the theater 'was occupied and hut littte standing room was left On the stage a pleasing feature was presented by the ar ray ot bright and fresh looking graduates. The exercises were conducted by Principal Wood. The opening was with prayer by the Rev. Dr. "W. J. Reid. An excellent and well rendered programme was com menced with a chorus, "Wake Not Dream ing Maiden," by the young ladies of the normal class. Following was an essay, "Graduated, "What Then?" by Miss Daisy "W. Lemxnon, in which was delineated the glorious possibilities ot the future for the graduates. Hiss Bertha Ewart, between whum and Miss Lemmon the second honors of the academical class had been divided, was excused from reading, "Inthe Air," was the subject taken by Edward Godfrey, who de fined the value and uses of that necessary sub stance. A song, "Time and Tide," was nven by the already well-known vocalist. Miss Edith R. Harris. Miss Bertha Stein gave in an artistic miner the beauties of 'The Circle." "Arabian Nights and American- Days," a comparison between the myths of ancient Oriental times and the reali ties in the shape of useful inventions of the present days, was given by Miss Anne McCon way. "The United States shonld adopt a more rigorous foreign policy," was the assertion made by Wm. J. Reid in a well delivered and argumentative address on the subject. A chorus "Viva 1' America" was given, after which C DeMoss Emmons declared that "The United States should not adopt a more rigorous for elcn policy." Mr. Emmons was equally as positive and convincing in his address as Mr. Beid. ABBEAST TaTH THE TIMES. "The Advancement of Woman" was the sub ject taken by Miss Mary R. Loef&cr, who fol lowed the history of woman from the time of Ere to the present, and gave convincing argu ments for her equal rights. A second song, "TheThree Fishers." was given by Miss Har ris, loll owed by an oration on "The Industrial System of the Future," by John W. Boyce. Miss Alexandra M. McCrickart delivered the valedictory address. The presentation of diplomas by Principal Wood concluded the ex ercises. The first honor of tho academical class was taken by Miss McCrickart. Tho sec ond honor was, as stated, divided between Miss Iicinmon and Miss Ewart. Miss Mary R. Loeffler took the first honor of the normal class, and Miss .Margaret Clancy the second honor. An interesting feature of the evening was not on the programme. If was an address by "Walter Billow, a colored graduate. Principal Wood announced that, while Mr. Billow had not succeeded in winning the honor of being nlaecd on the nrorramme. ret as he was closelv connected with the school, having commenced his education in the little annex to the Pitts burg Normal School, he was sure theandience wonld be pleased to hear him on his favor.to topic, "The Negro." Mr. Billow delivered in an excellent manner a statement of the social condition of the negro race. He showed the drawbacks and obstacles placed in their way by the years of slavery, but held that the future was a bright path before them. The speaker won mnch ap plause. He is not the first colored graduate of the High School, three or f onr having pro ceeded him, but none recently.

Allegheny High School Graduates to-the Number ot 43 Greeted tho Ejea of a Large Andlenee nt the Opera Home Last Evening Essays. Orations, De bate! and Music The Commencement exercises of the Alle gheny High School took place in the Grand Opera House last night. When the curtain arose at 8 o'clock there was disclosed to the large audience a stage decorated, not with potted plants and flowers, but with 13 bright and intelligent looking boys and girls who were about to have their names handed down as the graduates of 18S9. Principal Dodds, Snperin. tendent Morrow, Chairman Young, ot the Board of Controllers; Chairman J. H. Trimble, of the High School Committee, and several others prominent in educational interests, also occupied seats on the stage. The exercises opened with an overture bythe Opera House orchestra. Bcr. D. F. McGill then offered a prayer, and Waldo Cherry fol lowed with the salutatory. Be chose as a sub ject the class motto, "Carpe Diem." and pointed out how success comes to all through opportu nities. Miss Anna M. Warren then read in an easy graceful styfe, an essay, entitled "Modern Japan." Miss Warren handled the subject in an able manner, showing the fallacy of all childish fancies that the Japanese are standing on their heads, or are continually doing things upside down. A song, -Ocean Music," was sung by the class, after which David C. Wills discussed the negro problem. He had three suggestions by either of which he thought the problem might be effectually and permanently settled: First, by the adoption of the Northern idea of social equality; second, by complete separation, allow ing the colored race to occupy States by them selves and have an independent government of their own (bnt this, he thought, was not prob able), and. third, amalgamation. The latter be thought very likely to ultimately result in the solution of the problem, and. he bad many good things to say about the colored people which tended to create favor for this theory. "Birds in Liteiature" was the subject ot an essay read by Miss Lizzie McKee. The essayist referred to the many poets who have described In countless verses the songs of the birds. Miss McKee possesses considerable elocutionary ability. An interesting debate was then engaged in, on the subject of "Should Canada be Annexed to the United States." Miss Jennie Duncan ad Richard M. Kopp represented the affirm- tive side of the question, while Miss Loretta J. Ualzell and Howard B. Smith looked after the negative end. The notable part of the argu ment was that of Miss DalzelL She denounced the Canadians as Jesuits under the control of Roman power, and where the policy of Rome prevails, popular education and free schools are jeopardised. The committee of Judges rendered a decision indorsing the negative arcument. There was some more music and the diplomas were pre sented to the graduates, and Rev. Dr. McMillan pronounced the benediction. The following are the graduates: Louisa L. Albright, Eleanore Mary Arthur, fLouisa H. Baumbach, Jeanfiette P. Barbour, James Everett Benney, Marcaretha C.

A meeting of the Sub-Committee of the Al legheny Health Committee, will be held to morrow, for the purpose of considering the proposed Children's Sanitarium. The matter has been hanging fire for some time, without anything definite being done. At the meeting the members of the committee will either de cide to rent the Saner property or abandon the scheme altogether until they can secure a more suitable location. A representative of The Dispatch called upon Dr. Woodburn, the city physician of Al legheny, yesterday and interviewed him in re-' gardto the proposed hospital. The trouble over the selection of the site was explained by the doctor, who said: "It has been published that Dr. Gilliford, one of the members of the cemmittee, was the obstructionist in the mat ter, or the bono ot contention over which the scheme has had much trouble. I desire to state that this is not true. Dr. Gilliford Is dis satisfied only on account of the proposed loca tion; it being difficult of access. The property the committee hare been negotiating for, is situated on Haslett'shiU and not Spring or Summer bill, as has been stated. It is a mile beyond the terminus of the Bine line street cars, and on the top of a high hill. The house is in poor condition and would take several hundred dollars to repair it. In the lease it is stipulated that we would have to make the re pairs and Dr. Gilliford, along with others, ob jects to this. "Everything had been arranged for, and the committee would have rented the house for $30 per month, when a real estate agent stepped in and claimed that he bad the control of it. He said he had judgments against the property, bntwouldnotrentit for less than SoO. Com mitteeman Etnmerick put in an objection apinst this. Those who favored renting were Messrs. Einstein and Bobinson. "It is almost too late in the season now to begin operations, and it will take too much time to look around for other sites. The houses that are suitable, the owners will not rent, but want to sell their property. The name of hospital or sanitarium is obnoxious to some people, and they do not care to have it in meir immediate vicinity, iney ininK tnat it would depreciate the value of their property, and imagine that they could not rent the house atterward. The committee will go out and look at the ground again and try to make a compromise with the Sauer people. If they can do this it is probable that they will rent the house for the summer. Next winter we can look around and secure a better place. 1 think that the house could be fnrmshed for about $500. We should make provision for about 25 inmates. The house would hare to be furnished with iron cots, mattresses, blankets, chairs, etc. In each room we would have to put a stand and rocker. On the floors we could ?lace mats and rugs. So carpet woula be nsed. 'he floors could be painted and the windows curtained. It would cost -about $300 to begin with for provisions, supplies, etc. J think that tho Poor Board will assist us and send patients for which they will pay us about 52 per vt eek. We bare already had oilers of three cases. The guardians of the children would rather give them to us than put the children into an orphan asylum. I think we should charge only about $1 60 per week to those who could afford to pay. In New York, in the Chil dren's Hospital, the scheme has been such a great success that the stay of the children is limited to two weeks. I think this would be the ultimate re?;Ut here. The hospital would be open only during the months of June, July, August and September. THROWING MONEY AT THEM. The mayor of St. Louis to Distribute $5 and Sip Bills How the Johnstown flood Sufferen Will Fnro To-Day. The citizens of St Louis hare determined to take the bull by the horns m the matter to alle viate the distress of the Johnstown sufferers. They have decided that the committees who handled their contributions in the past were too slow relieving the wants of the people, and will not give any more money to be disbursed this way. Last night three gentlemen arrived in the city with 5,000 in their possession which they will carry to the stricken town and surround ing boroughs. The money will be distributed by hand to the poor and needy families. It is expected that by doing this the wants of the people will be attended to much more quickly than they could be if the money was given to the general committee to be placed in the com mon fund. The gentlemen who will distribute the money are: Edward A. Noonan, Mayor of the city; his private secretary, Charles E. Meed, and August Bemlcr. a representative of the organi zations who sent the money. The funds are in i5 and 10 bills, and the moner will be given in such amounts as the distributors see lit. The bills will De given principally to women, who it is supposed will make better use of the money than the men. The committee will determine the needy cases by visiting the different houses in the stricken town, accompanied by several reliable persons who are acquainted with the sufferers. This will destroy any chances of the residents of Prospect Hill, who were not washed out by the flood, from securing the bulk of the money in the same manner as they got clothing and provisions. The money was raised at a concert given by the united singing societies last Monday week, This will make about 20,000 that has been con tributed by the residents of St. Louis for the sufferers. Fourteen thousand dollars of this was donated within 24 hours after the news of the flood became known fh the city. Mayor Noonan is an old Pennsylvanian, and after distributing the money will pay a visit to his parents in Beading. After that he will go to New York to float $300,000 worth of St. Louis city bonds.

The special sub-Street Committee, to which was referred the matter of putting down wells in different parts of the City, met yesterday afternoon and prepared a report which will be handed in at the next meeting of the general committee. They decided to recommend a well near City Hall and one at each school house. These, in addition to the four wells that are to be put down in the parks, it is thought will furnish the residents of the city with pure water when the Allegheny river is disturbed by floods.

Over In Allegheny the children will miss the annual jubilee in the parks for the first time in many years. It has always been considered the pleasantest day in the school year. The expenses of these jubilees have always been defrayed by citizens, and were started by Captain Dick Gray, who beaded the list with a handsome contribution. Captain Gray is dead and no one took enough interest in the matter to arrange for, the jubilee this year. juany oi ine scnoou nave arranged to noid jugiubb to-morrow. I 'IkxLs' 5L, PLUMBERS AT PLAY. The Business of the Convention Bronght to a Close Yesterday. OLD CITY HALL KEGE1VED THEM, And a Koyal Entertainment Was Giren There to the Guests. DETAILS 0FTHEEYENLWSP$0GRAHME The hard work of wading through 'the tiresome yet necessary business incidental to a large convention like the one of the National Plumbers' Association was brought to a befitting close last ni jht, when Presi dent Trainor announced that the Old City Hall had been appropriately prepared for the reception of the guests to enjoy them selves. Music opened the programme, sing ing followed, and an epicurean feast thrown in as a dah of exhilaration'precedcd a dance, the grand climax of the most success ful convention in the history of the .plumb ers' association. The preparations made for last night's grand entertainment had been personally superintended by Mr. Charles H. Humbert, the local President, and everything within tho scope of possibility was. called into ' requi sition by that gentleman and his lieutenants to make the evening the most memorable event of the entire week. The hall was made as at tractive as money and the artistic genius of the best Pittsburg florists could mako it, and there was nothing lacking to please even the eye of the most fastidious. , Kntering the room, the visitors instinctively halted at the grand sight before them. Jap anese and Chinese decorations of manifold hues, long streamers of all colors, gigantic um brellas, immense sunshades, and all kinds of similar wall decorations were profusely yet ar tistically arranged. Intermingled with all this splendor were many flags, among which the Star Spangled Banner was most conspicuous. Looking toward the rear end of the hall, the vision rested upon & ..large wall of plants and flowers. From window to window the stretch ot tropical beauties was almost enchanting. Gigantic palms in oriental vases, exquisite latauras with leares which overshadowed the floor for several yards, rare terns ot various exotic spe cies were interspersed in very harmonious or der, and the whole looked like a beautiful wall ot verdure. In front of this floral wall a temporary stage was arranged for the musi cians. The Toerge orchestra furnished the in strumental music of the evening, and the Apollo Quartet rendered a rery select pro gramme of the sweetest of popular ballads. A WALIi OF FXOWEES. But beyond the wall of flowers was the place where the guests began to lose themselves soon after the first moments of the evening's excite ment were over. Here was the temporaryUan quet hall, and the place was simply a revela tion in all its details. The space had been walled in with tropical plants of all kinds, and there were hot house of llowors whoso fragrance changed the atmosphere of the entire room into an air of sweet elvslum. Tables were placed all around here, and supper was fur nished for 600 people. E. W. Hagan was tho director in this part of the bouse, and he and his assistants served the wants of everybody with the greatest of promptitude. Among the floral decorations which attracted especial attention were the beautiful bouquets which were handed to the ladles by Mr. John B. Murdoch and the magnificent design of a radiator lonpof perfection. This device was four feet high, and had been presented to the convention by the Michigan Radiator Com pany. Mr. James Dell, of John It. A. Mur doch, was the florist artist who had made the device and brought out the beautiful harmony of the flowers with exquisite taste. THE MUSIC AND SPEECHES . attracted general attention. Soon after 8 o'clock the guests of the association began to arrive, and in a few minutes the place was crowded to the very doors. The evening's programme reflected great credit upon the committee, Decause it was lull of a variety which constituted . nothing but the best and happiest details. The Toerge Orchestra opened with an orerture, "The Jolly Robbers." Then tho Apollo Quintet Club rendered .a song, -Ob. Hail us, e Freer and Miss Agnes Vogel sang an arietta from the "Freischuetz." Thero were also a number of speeches made by several of the guests. The tenor ot all of thesf orations was one string of eulogies of Pittsburg as a city, of Plttsbnrgers generally and their hospi tality, and then the Pittsburg ladies received a tribute of thanks for the kindness they had shown the visiting ladies. The speech of the evening, however, was an address by Dr. W. T. English on the subject, "The Relation of the Physician and the Sanitary Plumber." "I sincerely thank yon. ladies and gentlemen," the doctor commenced, "for the compliment involved in this public recognition before a class of men who have, in the recent past, giren such remarkable evidence of prog ress in mechanical and scientific knowledge. No two vocations hare undergone so much PERFECTING EVOLUTION' in the past decade at those of medicine and sanitary plumbing; and as they extend their area, they approach each other more closely, because they tend toward the same.goal that of the physical welfare of the people. It is the common purpose of these two vocations to make growth more perfect, decay less rapid, life more rigorous and death more remote. But bow similar they appear in the main; vet in detail their functions are widely different. While It is the proper prerogative of the modern scientific physician to use pre ventive medication and exercise himself in the interests of hygiene and sanitations, the hard fact remains that much ot the practical ad vancement toward hygienic methods in modern city bnilding is due to the application of knowledge primarily acquired through the ob servations of the sanitary plumber dad sanitary engineers." ., . The doctor was repeatedly applauded during his oration. Then the Quintet Club rendered. a few more brilliant songs, until near 11 o'clock; when the entire party adjourned to the" re. freshment hall, where a very., tempting spread awaited them alL ' In the meantime the hall was cleared, and dancing remained the order for the rest of tho night THE LAST DA.rS.W0EK. '. Officers Elected and the Tlaee for iho Next Convention Decided Upon. The business session of the plumbers was finished yesterday afternoon. The reports of the treasurer and the secretary were read and approved, and the per capita tax. was raised from $2 to $5. The place for the next conven tion was then decided upon, and Denver, Col., was selected. The election of officers was the next business, and resulted with Kdward J. Hannon, of Wash ington, D. C for President; Robert Griffith, Chicago. Vice President; (J. A. Green, Wash ington, D.

Pierre Iiorlllnrd Golna Home From a Meet. Ins of ninnnfactnrera. Pierre Lorillard, the sporting character and tobacco manufacturer, passed through the city last night on his way home from the West. He refused to state where he had been, but it is pretty certain that he was Jn Missouri trying to settle some trouble the tobacco jobbers there are having with the Legislature. ' Some time ago the tobacco manufacturers at Louisville, Richmond. Middletown. .O.. St. Louis and Jersey City formed a pool or combi nation for the purpose of maintainlog'prices. The jobbers, to whom the manufacturers sell their goods, bad to sign an agreement not to sell for a cent more or less than that fixed by the manufacturers. About three months ago the Legislature passed a law abolishing trusts and combinations, and the jobbers were re strained from selling at the combination price. The latter were bound by an agreement not to sell below the price, and as a result the grocers jumped in and began underselling them. This diverted the trade to them, and the tobacco jobbers, who could not make np the loss on something else, had to quit altogether. A meeting of the tobacco manufacturers washeld a few days ago, and schemes devised forget ting around the law. Sonthildo Turner! Ketnrn.

Morgan Gathered to His Fatberi nil Ancient FnmlljIvOCulHla. lory Intermingled with IIli Own. A lite that spanned tho chasm of time be tween the Fort Pitt of Western Pennsylvania's wild unsettled period and the great busy city of Pittsbnrg of to-day, was ended on Wednesday night. Shortly after 9 o'clock Colonel J. B. Morgan died at the residence of Mrs. L. M. Harding, 435 Liberty Btreet, in the 91th year of his age. He died of his great age's natural feebleness, and for a long time he has been blind, deaf and almost helpless, yet be bore his affliction lightly, and was of a cheerful, patient disposition to the last. He leaves four children, viz: Colonel A. S. M. Morgan, U. S. A., sta tioned at Allegheny Arsenal; the Rev. P. Mc Morgan, deceased: James B. Morgan, Jr., and Mrs. Lu M. Harding, ot this city, and Mrs. Frank Beach, of Washington, D. C. Colonel James Banyan Morgan, son of John and Margaret Morgan, was born on Wednesday, October 19, 1796, at his father's country Seat, Prospect. Princeton, N. J. His grandfather. Colonel George Morgan, was somewhat cele brated in the early history of this country and enjoyed the intimate acquaintance of Wash ington, Jefferson, Franklin, Lafayette and other leading men of that period. He was born in Philadelphia In 1741. and commanded the first volunteer company organized in that city for Colonel James JB. Morgan. the War of Independence. In 1778 he was ap- Sointed Indian Agent, and obtained peat in uence with the Indians and early settlers. It is said that his influence over Indians was more beneficial than that of any other white man of his days. In 1793 he settled in Morganza, Washington county. Pa., where the Western Pennsylvania Reform School is now situated, tho original tract having been purchased by his brother, Dr. John Morgan, first Surgeon General of the United States. On his mother's side Mr. Morgan was descended from the De Kays, of Orange county. New York. In 1804 his father and family removed to Morganza. Aaron Burr stopped at the Morgan homestead and tried to enlist tbclr sympathy in his nefarious schemes to found an empire. The Morgans, however, fot rid ot him promptly, and informed the resident of the traitor's route. They after ward testified against him in Burr's trial. In 1832 James B. Morgan removed to Pitts burg from Morganza. When about 17 years of age he was sent with a friend of his grand father's, a Captain of a merchant ship, to make a three years' cruise preparatory to entering 'the nary, that being deemed a sufficient prepar ation in those days. On his return, bis father and grandfather being dead, he assumed the care of the estate. During the war of 1812 he enlisted, but while on his way to Baltimore peace was declared. So his term ot service was brier. During the voyage be visited Brazil (where be saw the father of the present Emperor). Holland, both East and West Indias, passing the Island of St Helena, where Napoleon was then exiled. When he was 21 years old he rode on horseback from New (York to St, Louis and back again to Morganza. During this journey be first met Henry Clay, who many years' after, when in Pittsburg, re called the incidents of that acquaintance. In December, 1829, Mr. Morgan married Susan Gilkeson, daughter of James and Agnes Mountain. Upon moving to Pittsburg in 1632, he engaged in the lumber and coal business. In 1860 he retired and devoted all his time to his invalid wife. SOME NOVELTIES IN BOTANY. A White Strawberry Plant A House Leek Whose Leaves Sprout ns They Fall Thnnks to Henry Phlnps, Jr. ' . The Western Pennsylvania Botanical Society held a very interesting meeting at tho parlors of the Pittsburg, Library last evening with the President, Dr. Hamilton, in the chair. In the course of 'routine business, Mr. C. C. Hell or offered a resolution cordially thanking Mr. Henry Phipps, Jr., for his gift to Allegheny City, the aquatic conservatory, which will form such an admirable addition to the set of green houses now in Allegheny Parks. The resolu tion predicted that the botanists of Western Pennsylvania would find great pleasure in studying the rare specimens which would find a place iff the collection. It was adopted, and the Corresponding Secretary was directed to forward a copy of the resolution to Mr. Phipps. It was announced that an effort was' being made to organize a joint botanical expedition. Several valuable contributions recently made were acknowledged and admired. Among them was a beautiful collection of acacias from New Zealand and Van Dieman's Land, and a Chinese work on botany, filled with specimens of the Flowery Kingdom's flora. Mr. W. L. Scaife sent a collection of leaves of Brazilian plants placed upon a cardboard In the shape of a bouquet. The texture of velvet, satin and plush was remarkably imitated by these leaves. Mr. C. C. Mellor contributed a very large and well-mounted collection of in digenous plants, secured by himself at Ohio Pyle. Mr. J. A. Schaefer bad mounted above GOO Specimens from various sources, and was ten ereda rote of thanks for his indefatigable efforts in the cause. Mr. T. S. Brown sent a genuine white strawberry plant from rfalll day's Core, W. Va., which was examined with' interest. Messrs. Andrlessen, of Beaver, and Joseph A. Langfitt, of this city, contributed books and received thanks, and in this connec tion Dr. Hamilton remarked that a librarian would soon be necessary on account of the growth in the "number of valuable volumes. Superintendent Ferguson submitted two rare specimens: One a Bryophillum, a gigantic house leek, the peculiarity of which was that when a leaf dropped on the earth a new plant sprouted from each serreture or division. The other was a crassipes or water plant, an odd collection of bulbs with a stalk supporting a small flower. When the seeding process begins, the flowerstalk turns oyer ana grows downward into the water. The two specimens were much admired. IT WAS, BUT ISH'T NOW. The Requiem, Not the Natal Song of tho Bis Codl Combine Being frnnir. An evening paper states that the 'Mononga bela river coal operators are about to consoli date and form one gigantic company, to con trolthe entire output of the Monongahela and the majority of the Kanawha mines. It was farther stated that the Pittsburg and Southern Coal Company, composed of Joseph Walton & Co., O'Neil fe Co., W. H. Brown Sons, Thomas Fawcett & Son, C. Jutte fc Son, Horner & Roberts. George Lysle, J. S. Ncel. Time Coal Company, Marmet Coal Company, S. 8. Crump & Co. (formerly J. C, Risher & Co.), was at the head of the movement and that the Standard Oil Company had offered to take a big block of stock in the proposed new companj ; that small operators wonld either be taken in or their holdings purchased; that Eastern capitalists had offered to take stock, and that the business would hereafter be so regulated as to yield a fair profit. The article was shown to Mr. I. N. Bunton, and he stated that in the main it was true, save that the Standard Oil Company had nothing to do with the movement, and that it was some IS months old, and bad, as far as he knew, about fallen through. He stated that about all out lined had been proposed, and that the .prelim inary work of consolidation had been com menced last fall a year, but owing to diverse r interests that could not be harmonized, therd would not oe anything done at present, if ever. As Mr. Bunton is a member of one of the firms connected with the attempted combine, it iwill be generally agreed that be knows what he is talking about. It is generally admitted that the industry is quite sickly, notwithstanding its enormous wealth, and it is so gigantic that a great deal of medicine will be required to cure it. What seems to promise best results is water connection with Lake Erie, which will open a field where thers Is little likelihood of competition for many years to come, and by making ore carriage cheaper cause a greater consumption of coal hereabouts.

D. Bankin Gives Her Version of flow Her Friend Got Hurt. SHE THOUGHT THE DOCTOR HASTY. Her Denial of All Correspondence Is Con tradicted by Mr. Pitta. A SAD CASE OP POSITIVE INFELICITY The sensational episode at the Central Hotel on "Wednesday afternoon, between a bank cashier of McKeesport and a profes sional man of Allegheny City, was one of the chief topics of conversation yesterday. The Dispatch gave a complete account of the transaction yesterday morning. The names of the persons interested are now public property. The professional man is AT. D. Rankin, M. D., oi No. 103 Sandusky street, Allegheny City; the McKeesport business man is E. W. Pitts, cashier of the People's Bank, of McKeesport. Until Mrs. Rankin could be seen and it was impossible to see her Wednesday night, as no one knew where she was it was scarcely lair to give her name. She was tho person who would be most hurt by any publications regarding an affair of the kind. Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Rankin called at The Dispatch office to give her version of tho story. She is a girlish-looking woman, not looking moro than her ago as given by herself, 19 years, pretty and intelligent in appearance, and" genuinely modest in her deportment She was naturally nervous, as a result of the ordeal she bad gone through, and was occasionally in coherent and wandering in her remarks, but she managed to maintain considerable self possession. Mrs. Rankin was accompanied by an elderly lady in whose houso she stayed on Wednesday night after tho ocenrrenco at the hotel. This lady, who would not give her name, was with Mrs. Rankin on the Johnstown trip, and said that she was prepared to corroborate Mrs. Rankin's story. "I never met Mr. Pitts before I went to Johnstown on Tuesday of last week," Mrs. Rankin said; "so tbat it is not true, I bad known him for some time. I didn't even meet him in Johnstown, either, but only became ac quainted WITH HIM ON THE TEAIK coming home. He and another McKeesport gentleman were with two or three ladies who live at McKeesport, and who are of the highest respectability." The elderly lady said this was true, and that Mr. Pitts had acted in a very gentlemanly and obliging manner, among other things getting them cups of coffee on the way home. "It is true." Mrs. Rankin continued, "that I did go to Johnstown against my husband's wishes; but, as he never took me any place. I thought I had a right to go, especially when this lady went with me. I never received any letter from Mr. Pitts, asking me to meet him. I met him at the postoffice corner as I got off the car from Allegheny, and the reason I went to the Central Hotel was that I considered it imprudent to stand talking to him on the street, and I suggested that we go to the hotel parlor. I didn't come over to Pittsburg to meet him. and if I had done so or intended any wrong, I would not have gone to the Central Hotel, where I am known and where Dr. Rankin has patients. When the Doctor came into the par lor I cot up to introduce bim to Mr. Pitts, but the Doctor didn't wait for that, but rushed upon Mr. Pltti. The story of the assault, as published in The Dispatch, is correct. The doctor wouldn't have done it, though, if he hadn't been intoxicated. The doctor can't have anything elso against my character except this story, and if I intended to do wrong I wouldn't have gone to tbat hotel parlor, where I knew persons, and where everyone could see us. CONSIDERABLY OVERESTIMATED. "I want to say," Mrs. Rankin remarked, "that all the papers are wrong about my age. I am only 19 years old, Instead of 23. I have been married for two years, and lived very happily with Dr. Rankin for a year and a' half. It was during the holidays that the troublo began." Here Mrs. Rankin-wen intoi ,a statement largely made np of recriminations, which bring in .her husband and third parties, and which it would scarco help the case any to publish, unlcs3 substantiated in a more formal way. Mrs. Rankin then explained where she went Wednesday afternoon after leaving the hotel. She said she went directly home, then visited Dr. Rankin's two sisters and Jtook supper with them. After supper she. went back to tho Doctor's house; but sho says be drove her away. She spent the night with the lady who was with -her, as already mentioned. "I am going to Dr. Rankin's parents' home in Washington county on the 3.45 train," Mrs. Rankin said. "I hadn't enough money to pay my faro and the Doctor's sisters gave me some." Upon being cross-questioned as to whom she had come over to Pittsburg to visit, and if she didn't receive a letter from some one, Mrs, Rankin replied: "Yes, I did get a letter from a lady in McKeesport to meet her at 3 o'clock on Fifth avenue in front of the People's store, to go shopDing. I am not certain about her name, and I have lost the letter. I bad it with me at the hotel; but it disappeared in the excite ment" "Did you ever write to Mr; Pitts," was asked. . "No. I never did, uor be to me," Mrs. Rankin replied. "But Mr. Pitts says he did receive two letters from you." "Mr. Pitts didn't get any letter from me," said Mrs. Rankin. "One of his friends may. I wrote twice to the lady in McKeesport" "I want you to say," she went on, "that I never complained to anyone about the doctor's illtreatlng me. I never spoke of it to anyone except since this trouble." SHE WE0TE HIM TWICE. What Mr. Pitts Says of His Correspondence . With Sirs. Rankin. Mr. E. W. Pitts -was seen by a Dispatch reporter yesterday. He is rery much broken up orer the affair, and says he regrets it on ac count of the disgrace to his family. "I met Mrs. Rankin for the first time on an excursion to Johnstown." said Mr. Pitts, "and I left the train at McKeesport A few days later I received a letter from her asking me to meet her in the city. Ipaid no attention to it when I received another and agreed to meet her, and in a letter I sent her named the Central Hotel parlor. I very foolishly destroyed thetwo letters she sent me, and, therefore, cannot Erove my statement We were talking in the otel parlor when a gentleman entered the room, and sho said 'here is my husband.' and I arose, expecting an introduction. Instead he give me three licks on tho head with an urn rella and cuspidor, and I ran downstairs, leaving my bat in the room. I then went down to Bennett's and got another hat and after thinking the matter orer and knowing I had done nothing wrong, or. intended to do any thing wrong, I returned to tho hotel and found that the doctor had gone."
