A Hospital Patient Expires on an Operating Table, AND HOMICIDE IS GHAEGED tttijt' 3 n. , . , HO nau x.uyaj,-eu in a rigai AWay Back in the Jionth of May, MAKING THE KNIFE NECESSARY, fat, After an Anaesthetic Had Been Applied, He Passed Away. ONE AEREST, MOKE POSSIBLY TO FOLLOW f John Daly, aged G3 years, died at the Homeopathic Hospital yesterday morning just as he was about to undergo an oper ation by the hospital physicians. Paly was injured in a fight with John McNally, who keeps a boarding honse at 633 Mignonette street, Eai-t End, on the night of May 11. The police report of the difficulty is that Daly went home drunk, and was met at the door by McNally, who threw him off the sidewalk. In his fall Paly sustained a compound fracture of the right leg. He was taken to the Homeo pathic Hospital, his drunkenness develop ing INTO DELIKIUM TKEMENS. An amputation of the injured leg was necessary. Paly, notwithstanding his pros trated condition, stood the operation well, and his physical condition improved con siderably. The amputated leg did not heal, in spite of all the efforts of the hospital physicians, and a few days ago Pr. C. P. Seip, in whose charge the patient was, decided that another amputation would be necessary. Yesterday morning was the time set lor the opera tion. Pr. Seip went into the operating room, and shortly afterward Paly was carried in, under the influence of an anesthetic. He . was laid upon the table. Before the sur geon's knife was put to use, however, DALY STOPPED BREATHING, and efforts were made to resuscitate him. These efforts were kept up for quite a while, but to no effect About 1 o'clock in the afternoon he was pronounced dead. The Coroner was notified, and after in vestigating the case ordered the arrest of John McNally on a charge ot murder. This was done, and McNally was placed in the Nineteenth ward station house. Pr. Seip was seen at his office last night. He said that Paly's physical condition was such yesterday morning that he considered it perfectly safe to perform the operation. Paly had been taken to the ante-room be fore he was taken into the operating room, and an anaesthetic, composed of alcohol, chloroform and ether, administered to him by Pr. BIr, resident physician at the hos pital. Pr. Seip says Pair was given the usual amount of the anaesthetic for an oper ation of this kind. He died before any thing was done to his leg. HE HAD BUT ONE FEIEND. Nothing could be learned about Paly's history. He refused to tell the hospital physicians anything about himself further than that he was a laborer, single, lived in Pittsburg, and had "not a friend in the world except God Almighty." Pr. Seip was asked if he thought that death was caused by the medicine adminis tered to him. He said no one could tell that. Paly was in pretty good condition yesterday morning, and he was willing to risk having the amputation performed in order to get his leg to heal up. The doctor thought that death might possibly have re sulted had no anesthetic been adminis tered. However, the doctor said he had nothing to do with the administration of the medicine, as it had been given, as was done in all large hospitals, by the surgeon's as cistants. The body was turned over to the Coroner and taken to the morgue. A post mortem will be held on the remains this morning. PEOBABLX A BUSTED TEUST. That Pottery Fool Terr Undesirable to East Liverpool, and Whr. Mr. Harkcr, of the Harker Pottery Com pany. East Liverpool, O., was at the Mon ongahela House yesterday. In a chat about the pottery trnst, he said the combine would not be made, and that the East Liverpool firms would not go into it as the arrange ments are at present, and there is no other tangible one. The trouble is with the Trenton firms, many of whom are in debt and mortgaged, and their plants only valuable on account of sites. They wish to go in with stock accord ing o their capital, while their output is small in comparison to other firms with a good deal less capital. To this the smaller, but more prosperous firms object. No trust could be formed without the Trenton firms or the East Liver pool firms, so it does not look much as though it will be possible to reach any tan gible combination. A BULL AND A HORSE. An Expensive Collision That Proved Fatal to tho Latter. "William Ewing, proprietor of Ewing's Mills, on Montour rnn, Bobinson township, a few days since owned a valuable pair of matched horses. One of them was of a play ful disposition and delighted in chasing cattle. He was stretching his limbs the other day in a pasture field, and in his ex uberance of spirit, charged on a ball that was enjoying his siesta. The bull was somewhat disconcerted at thy charge, but rose on his haunches to re ceive the sportive equine, and, when the latter found time to take account of accom plished facts, bis entrails were protruding. Surgical aid was almost immediately ren dered, but the horse died while an attempt was being made to re-embowel him. IS IT UAT1TE PREJUDICE? A Poor Itnllnn Fearfully Assaulted by a Big Fellow, Without Season. Yesterday afternoon an old Italian, who was selling fruit from a basket on Thir teenth street, was attacked by a large man, a mill hand, and severely beaten. The origin of the trouble isnot known, but many who witnessed the affair said no provocation had been given for the assault. The Italian suffered greatly from the effects of the beat ing he had received, and it is said that he is internally injured. Tbe name of neither partv is known, but police investigation will likely clear the matter. FOE THE GETTYSBURG TEIP. Tho Member ot the Old Pennsylvania Ke erve Association to Meet. A meeting of the Ninth Pennsylvania Beserve Association will beheld in the City Treasurer's office to-morrow evening to make arrangements for the trip to Gettysburg on Pennsylvania Days, September 11 and 12. A UTILITARIAN OPINION. Joseph Brell, Eq Likes Florida, bat Not From a Monetary Standpoint Not Worth an Much na East Liberty. July isn't generally regarded as the best month of the year for Northerners to visit Florida, bnt Joseph Breil, Esq., found it necessary to do it in a business way, as also to do Cuba abont the same time, and he isn't altogether fascinated with the Flowery State. Mr. Breil cays he does not consider the whole of Florida worth one-half as much as wnoie oi lonaa wonn one-na the East Liberty Valley. He says there is excellent fishing and some good shooting territory, but the principal natural produc tion of the State seems to be the land shark, who is omnipresent, and omnivorous so far as his prey is concerned. In Jacksonville he found a floating pavement made of pfne blocks. When he stepped on them they sank, but bobbed up again when the press ure was removed. Travel on it does not jar the joints, but it is wearisome, and suggest ive of "fevernagur" and Yellow Jack. Mr. Breil thinks Florida is composed mainly of sand, which will yield nothing, spontaneously, but mosqnitoes, weeds and wild oranges, which are so sour that masti cation of them makes the razor-back hogs of the section squeal and sets the porkers' teeth on edge. The wild orange trees, cov ered with green foliage, blossom, green fruit and ripe fruit at the same time, are beauti ful, but not commercially valuable, and nothing of value can be raised without the application of fertilisers. Mr. Breil says there is great business de pression in the State, and the only reliance oi the people is the investment of Northern capital. All in all, Mr. Breil thinks Florida a good State to avoid, except as a winter sanitarium. TENNIS AT SEWICKLEY. One Delightful Day on the Conrta, and Two to Follow. The Sewickley lawn tennis tournament began yesterday, under the most favorable auspices, as regards weather, turf, and at tendance. The day was fine, the grounds were in the most excellent order, and the number of visitors amounted to nearly 300. The mixed doubles were played, and all but decided; only tbe final game being left un finished till to-day. Appended are the scores: First round Miss C. McCIearyand Mr. L Porter beat Miss H. Carpenter and Mr. A. Kevin: 6-0. 6-0. Miss B. Carpenter and Mr. L. Woods beat Miss C. Whiting and Mr. R. Ma crum: 6-S. 6-3. Miss Blair and Mr. R, Miller beat Miss A. Warden and Mr. F. Hntchinson: 6-S, 6-L Miss Qilmore and Mr. R. Nevin beat Miss B. Warden and Mr D. Warden; 6-1, 6-3. Second round Miss C. McCleary and Mr. I. Porter beat Miss B. Carpenter and Mr. Law rence Woods; 6-5, 62. This was without doubt tbe best game played yesterday, the winning pair being all but defeated in tbe first set, and closely pressed all through. Miss Blair and Mr. R. Miller beat Miss Gilmore and Mr. R. Nevin.: 6-4, 6-3. This game was also well played throughout. Final round Miss C.'McCIearv and Mr. I, Porter against Miss Blair and Mr. R. Miller, for tbe championship of tbe mixed doubles. Only one set has been played, victory favoring Miss McCleary and Mr. Porter so far, 6 games toL The match will be played off first thing to-morrow. Mr. Porter and Miss Caroline McCleary are undoubtedly the best pair, and Miss McCleary and Miss Bessie Car penter quite distinguished themselves in the arena. The tournament continues on to-day and Saturday. The gentlemen's singles come off to-day, and as this is to be the event par excellence, the Sewickley folk expect to find their courts crowded with witnesses. WAS HE A HONE? A Mysterious Individual Who Came Mnch Controversy. Henry Frederick Antony Van Padburg, who was arrested "Wednesday night in the car station of the Allegheny short line on a charge of stealing two silver watches from the house oi John Schanz, -87 Washington avenue, was yesterday sent to jail for 10 days on a charge of drunkenness. This is the man who caused so much con troversy regarding his connection with the Catholic Church. He claims to have been a monk at the monastery in Milwaukee, but that, becoming dissatisfied, he left the order and received assistance from the Young Men's Christian Association in that city. From there he went to Youngstown, O., where he was aided by the Protestant Church of the Disciples. After awhile he lett there and came to Pittsburg, and met the Bev. Mr. Fulton and Bev. John Lan nitz. These gentlemen gave him a number of books to sell on commission, but never saw the proceeds. The prisoner claims to have a brother in the monastery on the Southside, but denies that he was ever a Catholic priest. Many clergymen of Allegheny are much interested in his case.

His theme was, "Pivine Ap preciation of Human Love." It proved an able discourse, and though the ladies had to have their wraps and the gentlemen their skull caps, owing to cool weather in the forest at night, the large, audience in the canvas-covered auditorium did not dimin ish in size until tbe two-hours' service was over. Congregational singing was conducted by Prof. Where Service! Are Held. Clarence Miller, one of Lake Chautauqua's cornetists, and a member of the Allegheny College Glee Club in Meadville. Begin ning at 7:30 o 'clock the exercises caught that impressiveness which song and prayer in the twilight so often convey. Continuing into the night, the spectacle also grew impressive. Lights twinkled through the heavy foliage from the windows of every cottage within the circle; locomotive head-lights fixed upon huge platforms in the four corners ot the grove cut four shining pathways across the green sward. Just at the spot where they converged the globed-lamps of the pavilion mellowed the glare, and beneath the white roof there was something of the hazi ness or soft glory of moonlight. But one thing marred the love liness of this illumi nation in the woods A Borne in the Wbodt. the canvas canopy shut out the stars glit tering far above the river hills in the dis tance.

Tne camp has been full of lib for some time, as the merry laugh oi the cottagers "at croquet" on the half dozen different lawns provided for this amusement, oc the crack of the mallet on the balls silted through the trees. Music, spelling bees and other amusements have served to pass the time for the cottagers, but it was not until last night that the camp awoke with the full life and stir of camp meeting time. Before closing of the camp meeting thousands are expected to visit the camp and be present at the dif ferent services. The camp and services partake of the na ture of the Chautauqua Assembly, in all except extent and the accumulated attrac tions of years added to the latter resort.

That is the Form of a New $5,000 Gift to West Penn Hospital. BOTH FLOWERS AUD FOUNTAINS Will Adorn a Transformed Lawn, Sloping to the Street. 0THEE IMPE0YKMENTS NOTICEABLE There is going to be a magnificent im provement on the grounds belonging to the West Penn Hospital. For a long time the officials of the institution have been con templating beautifying the grounds; but it has been delayed from time to time, owing to other pressing matters. Mrs. Bobert Pitcairn has at last come to the rescue, and assumed, in connection with some few other ladies, the responsibility of raising $5,000. She has raised a considerable amonnt of the money already. The florists of the city have promised to give her all the necessary shrubs, flowers and trees. The little mounds that give the front of the hospital such an unsightly appearance will be removed, and it is the intention of the committee to have the grounds grad ually 'Slope to the railroad. They also pro pose to encircle the grounds with a fence. Instead of the barren plot a lovely lawn will be laid out with flowering beds, SHRUBBERY ASD FOUNTAINS. Seats will be placed around the lawn, so that the patients, when able, may have the privilege. of Testing amid floral beauty rather than in the hospital wards. The carriage drive, which at present appears more like an unkept country road, will be graveled and rolled, so that it will be in keeping with the other external improve ments. There is an addition to the hospital also being pushed rapidly forward. A wing is being erected at the eastern portion of the building which will extend 60 feet to the rear. It is to be a two-story brick, the lower part of which will'be a medical ward, and the upper used exclusively for females who have contracted contagious fevers. The officials of the hospital have been for some time working under the greatest disad vantage. They have but 170 beds, yet there are 215 patients at present under treatment. A GREAT DISCREPANCY. At the end of June 250 more patients had been received than the corresponding period of last year, showing how urgent it was to take immediate steps for enlargement. To overcome their present difficulty, cots have to be utilized in the convalescent ward. The new wing will give the hospital 32 extra beds, and with these facilities it is expected a career of greater usefulness in the future than in the past. The cost of this portion oi the improvement will be, when finished, about 6,000. At present the committee have in hand $5,100, which they raised 12 months ago by three concerts given in Old City Hall and a tea party at the hospital. leaving only $900 to raise. The Committee on Improvements are S. Hamilton, Esq., Chairman, Major Pennison, Messrs. W. McCleary and Pr. Harris. WON THE FIEST HEAT. Alderman Nolan Given Judgment for the Deputy Sheriff. Tbe concourse of Peputy Sheriffs, sympa thising friends and curiosity (seekers at Alderman Nolan's office, on Forbes street, yesterday, filled it to the door, it being the day set for a hearing in the cases of the Peputy Sheriffs who went to Homestead for the purpose of preserving the peace during the late strike. Plaintiffs had E. F. Euffy, Esq., to represent them. The testimony is, in part, appended: Bruno Brenzll broke the ice. He. testified that he was hired by Sheriff McCandless as a deputy sheriff on the 12th Inst., and the com pensation agreed noon was 55 a day and rations. He worked three days and got nothing, and wanted S15. J. L. Mercer testified that he had worked three days and had gotten 87 60 in money and a bloute and hat valued at $2 60, $10 In all, and he wanted S5 more. He said he accepted what he had received under protest. Al. Henderson's claim was tbe same as Mercer's, and so were those of William Brown, H. J. Wylie, Samuel Dalzell, William Harris, G. T. Brady, Henry Behrers, J. 8. Alexander and William Dierst. James P. O'Neill claimed $14 50, statlDg that he was to get S3 a day and board, and at 50 cents a meal tbe latter amounted to SI 50 per day, and for three days' wages and board amounting to $19 0 he had received but 5, $2 0 in money and a blouse and hat valued at J2 50. Alderman Nolan was disposed to withhold his decision, but Attorney Duffy, insisted that, as the Sheriff's chief clerk and other county officials were present, and had not offered a defense, judgment should be pro nounced at once and the 'Squire yielded, giving it for plaintiffs. James P. O'Neill jays that he and his "conferees" are still deputy sheriffs, never having been discharged, and are liable to be called out at any time. - THEEE HILL E0BBEEIES.

He states that J. C. Askins' Pittsburg machine is an in fringement on his patents, and he came here to warn him against using it. If he persists, a suit for infringement will be en tered.

He claims that Mr. Askins is a former resident of Lima, and was the founder of the firm of Thomas E. Kerr & Co.; that Askins offered him $10,000 lor an interest in his machine, or $50,000 for the sole right to make and sell it Schwab says he has 20 patents on tbe machine, and will resist all those who inlringe upon him. - JUDGE EWING TALKS, And Criticises Wbat He Calls Needless Delay la Flemon'a Case. Judge Ewing's opinion on the probable action of Governor Beaver in connection with the Flemon extradition was the only matter of interest in the case yesterday. The Judge said: "I do not see how the Gov ernor can refuse to deliver the prisoner to the South Carolina authorities. Certainly he cannot reverse his decision if he is an honorable man. There has been much un necessary delay in the matter. The South Carolina people have evidently complied with all the requirements." Sheriff McCandless has not received an order from the Governor to hold the pris oner. If he does he will probably obey it. Not for Flghilna at All.

ONE OP DAEWIK'S MISSING LINKS. The Pitcher Plant That Lives on the In sects it Captures. THE SOCIETY'S LAUDABLE AMBITION The regular meeting of tbe Botanical So ciety of Western Pennsylvania occurred last evening in the parlor of the Pitt Library, Many of the members, who are professors and teachers in the various schools, are away on their summer vacation; conse quently the attendance was not as large as usual; but the absent ones are doing good work in collecting plants for the herbarium of the society, which, before spring, it is hoped, will contain a specimen of every spe cies of plant growing in Western Pennsyl vania, besides many from other localities. A number of unusually interesting plants were exhibited. The greatest curiosity waa a flower of cycas circinalis, sent by Will iam Hamilton, oi the Allegheny Parks. It is about 18 inches high and 6 in diameter, and somewhat resembles a gigantic pine cone. The leaves are about 12 feet long, disposed in a circle around the top of the stalk, in the center of which rises the flower. It is very rare to see this flower, and the society will take especial pains to preserve it as perfectly as possible for future observers. A number of beautiful orchids and other plants were shown by Mr. Hamil ton. Mr. Andrew Vance, of Shady lane, ex hibited a beautiful collection of specimens among others a pitcher plant in flower. This is, as is well known, one of the insectivorous plants, a class concerning which Mr. Darwin wrote one of his most interesting books. Dr. Fiegler and Pr. Koenig presented specimens of plants of their own collecting this year, and Mr. John A. Shafer turned in over 100 specimens mounted, for the society's herbarium. An invitation was received from Mr. W. L. Partington for tbe society to visit his conservatory at Guyasuta station, W. P. E. B., to see his splendid specimen of the century plant in Dioom; wnicn invitation was most cor dially accepted. A Bare Chance.

Yesterday was celebrated at Braddock as; "Merchants' Pay." A boat excursion waa taken to Shwgiss Park, when the boat own ers, it is claimed, tried to hold the crowd. They demanded that they be taken up tho river and went to Elizabeth. There was not a large crowd present, owing to tbe fact that some persons had started the story that ill luck would befall the boat Several women of the town claimed to have similar dreams abont the excursion. In their dreams they saw the boat sink in the. river, and only one person was rescued. This of course proved to be a man. The ladies told about their dreams and in less than a few hours every person around the borough heard them. As a result many people who were superstitious did not go along with the party.
