Only Ten Feet Frcm the Surface.
According to reports the people of
Shousetown are in pretty good shape, as to
fuel, for, should they be unable to dicker
successlully with a natural gas com
pany, they have a five foot coal vein under
their feet, and so near the surface that a
man can dig down to it in a day. Thomas
McFadden stated that while a well was be
ing digged on the Eckman farm on Flaher
ty's run, a few days since, the diggers came
to a vein of coal at a depth of 10 feet. At
first no special attention was paid to it, as
it was not supposed to be worth anything,
being there, near the outcrops, quite soft;
but it is said that, by following the vein for
a short distance, the quality was found to
improve, until the owners of the land round
about were convinced that they had struck
possible, even probable, wealth.
Over the ground was located the coal
railroad of the Grand Lake Coal Company,
from Shousetown to Clinton and Frankfort.
A considerable number of people have
been puzzling their brains to locate the bed
in any ot the known veins. Some suppose
it is a pocket vein and George H. Bennett
suggests that it is probably a continuation
of the thin seam which crops out at Stobo
station on the Pittsburg and Lake Erie
Bailwav, and which is not profitable to
work, 'it is generally believed to De some
what out of placejvand it is 300 feet or there
abouts below the Pittsburg bed which forms
the base of the upper production measures
and 160 feet above the Upper Freeport coal
bed. which lies at least 200 feet below this
city. Mr. Ashburner says no workajle beds
exist between tbe Upper Freeport and the
Pittsburg bed; but Shousetowners are now
skeptical on this subject. "While the seam
may not retain a thickness of five feet lor a
great distance, yet a Jew miles of area
would make the find a very important one,

the
Fifth Avenue Company.
Evan Jones, contractor, yesterday sued
the Pittsburg Traction Company for $29.-
306 49 with interest from December 1, 1888.
The money is part of the contract price for
work performed constructing me traction
road. The amount of work done was 42,
777 2-5 yards ot paving of block stone be
tween the rails from Liberty and Fifth ave
nues to Pcnn avenues, East End, at S3 20
per yard, $13G,887 68; filling aspnaltum in
the angle between the slot and the rail at 6
cents per lineal foot, 52,919 72; extra work,
such as temporary pavings, excavating,
grading, etc, 820,938 67; constructing a
sewer on Fifth avenue at the foot of "Wash
ington street. 54,679 CO; total cost, 5105,
455 57. Of this the sewer was paid for in
full, and 5131,469 68 paid on the other
items, leaving S29.30G 49 still due. The
company, it is claimed, has promised to pay
a number of times, but always failed to do
so, and the suit was entered.
It was surmised that the city might be
involved in the suit with regard to paving,
etc., because the cause was not clearly
stated and a reporter, therefore, called upon
Colonel G. "W. Elkins, President of the
Company, last night. He denied, however,
that the city had anything to do with the
matter, but said there was some trouble be
tween the company and Evan Jones, and
the suit had probably arisen from that.
HOW TO REGISTER.
A Pointer to Local DraKsIats on the Snlcs
oftbo Mate.
Mr. F. H. Eggcu, of Ohio, street, Alle
gheny, a member of the State Board of
Pharmacy, gives the following explanation
in regard to how and when druggists should
register:
The next examination will take place in this
citv on October 8, and the business meeting of
the association durinc the same week. The
first examination will be held in Philadelphia
on October 7. The proper man to apply to lor
registration is Sir. 11. B. Cochran, ot Lancas
ter, Pa.
Applicants for qualified assistants must have
had at least two years experience and those for
registered pharmacists four jears and must be
over 21 years of age. The examination is the
same for both, but those lor qualified assist
ants are onlv required to maKe an average of
50 per cent, while those for recistercd pharma
cists must make 75 percent. 1 think our ex
amination is very fair and practical. It con
sists of 100 questions and 10 specimens.

In a Well-Known Physician's Ee

AN OLD MAN APPARENTLY HELPED,
Bat
the .Fountain of Youth Must
Watched a Few Days to
he
PE0TE THEPEEMANENCI OP ITS FLOW
Thinking men have observed the experi
ments of Dr. Brown-Sequard upon the in
duction of life-giving matter into the
human system with keenpst interest, the
natural conclusion being that if, in its
infancy, the system of the Paris surgeon
has the effects claimed for it, a long pocket
book insures a long life, reversing the sage
proverb that Death is no respecter of
persons. To reduce this idea to a fact it
follows that a man who refuses to use the
Brown-Sequard elixir of life when he
feels dissolution approaching becomes in
reality a suicide. "
So much of a sensation has been aroused
by Brown-Sequard's discoveries and their
semi-indorsement by so distinguished an
American surgeon as Dr. Hammond, of
Washington, that people were well pre
pared to read in yesterday's Dispatch
that the medical fraternity of Pittsburg
was alive to the situation, let tbe confi
dent air with which Dr. Henry A. Page, of
6212 Penn avenue, East End, spoke to the
reporter of the ''elixir," and tbe success
he boasted of in treating three -patients with
it, surprised people generally. That the
French scientist should find an enthusiastic
supporter away over the Alleghenies so
soon, while Europe is yet full of skeptics,
was a matter of astonishment.
ANOTHER LOCAL PATIEST.
Dr. Chevalier Z. Jackson, who has also
experimented, partly upon himself and
partly upon an Ethiopian, yesterday in
vited a reporter to be present at another ex
periment he would perform on a patient at
2 r. m. The patient was to be the same
colored man, George Wilson, who had re
ported that his home was on State alley,
near Wylij. One week since Dr. Jackson
commenced the hypodermic injections on
the old man with interesting results. The
subject had been stooping with old ace and
carrying a cane. The next morning he
passed the office minus the cane and
described himself as feeling 25 years
younger. He has since been getting spryer
each day. He had promised to come back
for another treatment
Dr. Jackson came into his office at 2
o'clock with a small satchel, from which
issued a tiny squeak, indicating the where
abouts of the animal whose life was to be
sacrificed to science. His mortal coil was
shuffled off with an etherized sponge. Then
the tissue was prepared.
Guinea pigs are indigenous to every cli
mate, and Ponce De Leon, who "sailed o'er
bloody seas" in order-to reach the "fountain
of youth" in the Florida morasses, a fountain
which is to this day aqua incognita, so to
speak, may have warmed his Castilian toes
by kicking guinea pigs out of his path,
little dreaming that he was trampling upon
everlasting life. The little grunters are
now a drug in the market at $1 per pig.
But if there is a run upon the breed conse
quent upon universal demand by broken
down humanity, the odd little animals may
prove mighty valuable. .Millions oi people
will cherish guinea pigs, perhaps pamper
them, as the source of power and beauty.
This particular guinea pig on Dr. Jackson's
operating table came from a Smithfield
street bird store.
A VOLUNTEER FOB SCIENCE.
Dr. Jackson said he had administered as
much as an ounce of the preparation to him
self at one time within an hour with no
other effect than considerable exhilaration,
being young and not in especial need of
rejuvenation. He also said that there were
no after-effects to be feared.
But it was long after 2 o'clock nearly 3,
and the reporters waited ior the appearance
of the subject with some anxiety. But the
old colored gentleman did not come. The
doctor had everything ready, and looked
disappointed. At last a man was sent to
search for Wilson. He could not be found,
but the person looking for him brought
back to the office an infirm white man
named Daniel Snllivan, who lives in a court
off Washington street. Eighty-two years is
his age. So bent and trembling with age
was he that he had to be supported by the
arm when getting up the steps in front of
the office. After waiting for him to rest a
little, the operation was commenced. When
the little needle of the syringe was inserted
in his neck, he was asked if it hurt.
"No," he said, "I would let you cut a
finger off if you wanted to."
RATHER REMARKABLE RESULTS.
After the first 20 minims had been in
jected he straightened tap, and ten minutes
later said: "I feel a day younger; I feel so
warm and good here. Putting his hand
over his lungs. J
The second injection was made in about
15 minutes, and the doctor noted that his
pulse, which at first was at 10"0, had gone
down to 78 the pulse of youth. Whether
it was imagination or not, the old gentle
man persisted that he felt "Oh, so much
better," and smiled as he said to the doctor:
"Sir, may you have a soft bed in heaven."
At last the operation was completed and
a cab was about to be called to take the old
gentleman home, but he persisted in walk
ing, telling those present to save their en
ergies and money. He started off up the
hill and one of those present followed. He
never stopped once and led his companion.
He said he knew the way, and evinced as
much by walking straight home the nearest
way in advance of his companion, and with
a firmer step than before. He said he was
hungry and wanted to hurry home for a enp
of tea.
When he arrived he said he felt very well
and much better. Before that he had said
that he always had to stop three or lour
times going up the hill and sitting down on
door steps before he could go on. Whether
it was the exritement or not, it is a fact that
he walked home with a very sprightly step.
His sister said that he had had no appetite
for some time, and she was surprised at his
being so hungry and longing for a cup of
tea. These facts are stated as they occurred.
It will require a day or two to determine
whether the old gentleman's rejuvenation
was the temporary result of a hypochon
driac's imagination, or the genuine effect of
the elixir.
ONLY A STIMULANT PERHAPS.
Dr. Jackson subsequently said: "The
syringe punctures the cuticle or scarf skin
and the "cutis" or true skin, and then
enters the sub-cutaneous cellular tissue
which covers the muscles or flesh. Through
all the tissues of the body run the lymphat
ics which convey the injected matter to tbe
lymph channels, these in turn to the veins,,
and thence throughout tbe system."
"How soon will a half ounce of the fluid
be distributed?" was asked.
"In from one to three hours. Sometimes
very quickly and in some cases hours might
elapse before any effect was felt The human
system is able to absorb almost an unlimited
amount of this fluid, if administered prop
erly and if pure. I consider this fluid the
most wonderful stimulant yet discovered,
but see no reason to believe that it is any
thing but a stimulant No, I cannot believe
that its use will prolong life even a day, but
it will take considerable experimenting to
settle the relation that Dr. Sequard's dis
covery bears to longevity. It may be a
new life to those who use it or it may
shorten natural life by artificial ex
hilaration. Other stimulants have direct
effect upon life, and, as I say, it vet
remains to be seen iu what essential
particulars this discovery differs from the
great number of stimulants now in use. The
one reason why it may prove very different
in ultimate effects from any stimulant now
in use, is that it is absolutely innocuous and
has no element of vegetable, animal or min
eral poison about it A long series of ex
periments will have to be made before it can
be reduced to an exact medical science. But,
meanwhile, its use will continue, for it
harms no one. Dr. Brown-Sequard has
made a discovery which ranks in medicine
even before Dr. Jenner's discovery of small
pox virus. It is so recent that, although
experiments are in progress all over the
world, results will not be known for some
time to come."
"WONDERFUL POSSIBILITIES.
The human mind can hardly comprehend
the possibilities of this medical discovery.
The young belle who has danced herself
Into nervous prostration will take a little
guinea pig before retiring to rest; the gen
tleman who has over-indulged in the poker
line will have recourse to guinea pigto re
store his shattered nerves. The politician
who has worn himself out by paying for
rounds of drinks for the "boys;" the public
speaker who has waded through dreary
pages of encyclopedia information to elee
trity gaping hearers; the business man who
has balanced books until unable to fit latch
keys to doors; the humorist who has racked
his brain until the brain-pan shifts; the soci
ety mamma who has fought off ineligible
suitors from vivacious daughters until hys
teria afflicts; in short all suffering humani
ty will fly to guinea pig as the sovereign
remedv lor nervous or Dhvsical prostration.
But it is not the least bit soporific. It will
not transport the user into the Land of Nod.
So druggists will still be the refuge of those
from whom Morpheus withholds his hospit
able arms.
Whether guinea pig alchemy will trans
form old age into radiant youth is further
on. There is many a Faust in the world
who sighs for youth, and perhaps Dr.
Brown-Sequard has placed himself in the
role of Mephistopheles to all mankind. So
universal Is now the experimenting upon
this evidently marvelous discovery that it
will not be long before it is absolutely cer
tain if Landlord Death will be reluctantly
compelled to issue new leases upon Life.

It Becomes Lively Between Milk
shake Martin and the L & 0.
THREE CHARGES OP PEEJ0RT
Lodged igainst the Smithfield Street Mer
chant by Wishart.
TWO AEEESTS MADE ON THE 0THEE SIDE
Captain Wishart. or the Law and Order
Society, has made information before Al
derman Brinker against John A. ("Milk
shake") Martin. Three separate charges of
perjury are contained in the information,
which is as follows:
Thirteenth day of July tho defendant, John
A. Martin, did commit wilful and corrupt per
jury by swearing before D. K. McGunneele,
Clerk of Courts, to the truth of a certain peti
tion on file at No. 18 June sessions, 1SS8, misc.
in Court of Quarter Sessions, in which it 14
falsely averred as follows: That petltionet
(John A. Martin) paid tho fine and costs im
posed by Alderman Scbaffer and a receipt for
tbo same was officially acknowledged.
Second By swearing on July 10. 1SS8, before
D. K. McGunnegle, Clerk of Court, to the
truth of a certain petition on file at No. 25,
June sessions. 1S83, misc., in Court of Quarter
Sessions, in which it is falsely averred as fol
lows: "Which penalty of $23 and costs was paid
by yonr petitioner (said John Martin), and a
receipt taken for the same, signed by tbe
magistrate who tried the case."
Third By swearing before Alderman J. D.
Carlisle on or about tbe 11th day of July, 1S88,
in a certain case then and there pending as
follows: "I paid the fine and costs to Alder
man Scbaffer," which statement was wholly
false: and in also swearing at the same time
and place In said case, "I paid Schaffer 828 60."
which statement was wholly false.
The said offenses of perjury were committed
by defendant corruptly, in this, that they were
done to escape from payment of fines for or
fenses with which he there stood charged.
This information is made by tbo prosecutor as
a private citizen and upon information re
ceived.
MARTIN TUUNS THE TABLES.
Attorneys Robert Frazier and William
Yost, the State's agents in collecting the
State's portion of fines from aldermen, dis
covered that the fines which Martin said he
had paid these magistrates were never paid.
They were the cases in which Martin had
had himself prosecuted, so that the Law and
Order Society could not fine him a second
time for the same offenses through Alder
man Carlisle. Upon making this discovery
the society's agent not only sued the milk
shake dispenser for perjury, but pushed all
the suits for Sunday selling against him in
Alderman Carlisle's office. In four of these
'Squire Carlisle fined Martin ?25 and costs
each day before yesterday.
Yesterday morning Martin commenced to
return compliments. He sued Murk Wis
hart and Ed P. Hasson, Law and Order
detectives, for acting as detectives without
licenses. Hasson was admitted to bail in the
snm of 5500, but Mark Wishart was hurried
off to jail. He remained there one hour and
20 minutes before his release on bail. J.W.
Houston became his security. Attorney
Yost says that Houston was there in Alder
maMcKenna's office when the constable
arrived with Mark, and that he offered bail
at once, but the clerk, making the excuse
that tHe alderman was absent, refused to
take bail, and sent Wishart to prison. Mr.
Yost was sent for, and he raised a fuss, the
clerk finally accepting the bail. .Mr. Yost
says the Law and Order detective license
does not expire for another year yet.
OTHER CASES HANDLED.
In the hearing before Alderman Carlisle
A. S. Kaercher, the Allegheny druggist,
was fined $25 and costs for selling last Sun
day, as was also Wm. Quinn, who sells
lemonade at tbe Casino entrance. Quinn
had had a friendlv suit entered against him
before Alderman !rTolan and paid his fine.
The transcript showed that the suit had not
been properly brought and Captain Wishart
had another charge entered, and Quinn was
fined $25 and costs a second time. Three
photographers, whose names were not di
vulged, were fined the usual amount for
taking pictures on Sunday. A cigar dealer
named Fallen, on Penn avenue, near the
Point, also paid the penalty. Martin and
Kaercher will appeal.
Attorney Wm. Yost paid to the County
Treasurer, during the month of July, J2.087.
The money is the county's half of the fines
imposed in civil suits lor selling oleomar
garine brought by the agents of the Law
and Order Society. The other half of the
fines went to the informers.
FLEM0FS FRIENDS.
They Met Aenlo Last Night Beaver Was
Cnlled Hard Names Knmor Stirs Vp a
Romanes In the Case.
The sympathizers of Fiemon, alias Yel
dell, who was taken toward South Carolina
Thursday night on the charge of murder,
held another meeting last night at the
Franklin schoolhouse. There were about
CO colored men present. Tho Bev. George
Clinton reported that, in addition to Colonel
Bennett, Colonel C.C. Echols had been re
tained as counsel in the case, because the
latter was 50 familiar with the case and
knew the laws of South Carolina. Echols'
fee will be $500 and Bennett's $750, it is
said. '
Mr. Clinton, after speaking of Fiemon as
Mr. Fiemon, stated that he had omitted-the
reverend because Fiemon was not ordained;
but a number of men objected to the omis
sion of the title, "claiming that tbe accused
would gain more sympathy as a" reverend.
Others also objected to having Colonel
Echols as counsel, because he had been their
enemy heretofore.
Mr. Keys spoke of Governor Beaver as
"the weak-kneed Beaver," but Broadax
Smith took up the cudgel for the Governor
and called Keys to order. It was decided to
have a circular printed, reciting the details
of the Fiemon case, and have it distributed
in all the cities of the union.
Mr. Washington said there were 150
colored men in the city representing the sum
of $150,000, who had not subscribed a cent
to the fund. A resolution was passed con
demning the inactivity of these people.
Then the meeting adjourned.
A story has been going the rounds that
the real cause of the discovery ot Fiemon
bv the police had been betiayed. A young
colored man on the Southside, it is said,
and Fiemon both paid attention to the same
girl, and Flemon's rival, who knew the lat
ter's history, threatened to expose him un
less Fiemon gave up the girl. When he re
fused to do that, this colored man wrote a
letter to South Carolina, and gave a full
description of Fiemon and his whereabouts.
This story is not generally credited.
THE FArAL SEWER DROP.
A Woman Fell Into n Sewer, but Was
Promptly Extricated.
Mrs. Kate Wilbert, residing at 86 Twenty-first
street, was probably fatally injured
last night. She and her daughter went out
to do some shopping. Crossing the street
she stepped on a sewer drop and- it caved in,
letting her down. Had it nottbeen for her
daughter, she certainly must have fallen
clear into the sewer.
With some assistance she was finally ex
tricated. Dr. Dunmaker, who attended
her, pronounced her internally injured.

AN A. 0. 0. Y. LAWK FETE,
The First Regiment of tbe Order Enjoys
Itself at SHrer Lake. Grove Mirth,
Music and Dancing; Rule the Occasion.
The local members of the Ancient Order
of United Workmen transformed them
selves into carpet knights at Silver Lake
Grove yesterday afternoon and evening.
The pleasures of the annual lawn fete were
unalloyed and the fair sex lent picturesque
color and its own inimitable presence to tne
events of the day.
The grove looked its best, and the crowd
was not too large to mar the enjoyment of
the occasion. The First Regiment, of the
A, O. U. W.,were tbehosts atthefirst lawn
fete. This is a military feature of the order
of comparatively recent institution, and all
Knights are comprised in it, the member
ship of the First Regimentbeing about GOO,.
The regiment will go into annual encamp
ment at Conneaut Lake on the 18th of
August, where, also, the Grand Conclave
will be held. The officers are: Colonel, John
Eowan; Lieutenant Colonel, J. H. Robert
son; Major, William J. Draher, and Adju
tant, Jos. B. Eaton.
In tbe afternoon programme, given at the
pavilion, Gernert & Guenther's-Orchestra
furnished several selections, the Lewis
Quartet and C. V. Lewis assisted vocally.
Mr. Leon J. Long was heard upon the
banjo, and recitations were given by little
Alice Kobcr, Miss Rosalind Forster and
Messrs. W. P. Clinton and H. A. Griffin.
A fancy drill was excellently given by the
Sheridan Sabers. At a smaller pavilion
the Select Knights Band stationed itself
and gave fine brass selections during the en
tire day. A substantial lunch was also
served.
The evening scene was one of great inter
est. The roof and stage of the dancing pa
vilion were handsomely decorated in Japa
nese style and A. O. U. W. flags and insig
nia were freely used in heightening the gen
eral effect. The orchestra furnished the
usual excellent dancing music, and the floor
was kept well covered with a gay crowd of
dancers whose hearts seemed as licht as
their step. After a dancing programme of
24 numbers the throng dispersed, voting the
"First annual fete" a complete success.

Special Policemen John and W. H.

jority of tbe watchmen in the city will adopt
them. Many times the officers are resisted
when in citizen's clothes and wearing no cap;
but they cannot mako a case against such
offenders, as those arrested invariablv claim
they "did net know It was an officer." The cap
ii a very neat onr.

A GENUINE PIONEER
The Death of Mrs. Agnes Young Calls
Up Striking Contrasts.
MASONIC HALL SITE HER HOME
When She Pint Came to Pittsburg, Then
the Old Yellow Inn,
TYI1EEE HEK HUSBAND HELD A LICENSE
At the head, of Fisk street stands the
picturesque homestead of the late James
Young, and, within its walls, in the mys
teries of death, his widow, Agnes Young,
lies awaiting the last mortal rites. Mrs.
Young came from County Down, Ireland, in
July, 1827, and landed in Pittsburg on the
29th of that month. The first house that
she with her husband rented was between
Wood and Smithfield streets, where the
palatial home of the Freemason now
stands.
Mrs. Yonng's death calls up historic
recollections. In 1830 she, with her hus
band, removed to a house belonging to
'Squire Youijg, on Sixth street, and from
there they went to Crogansville and built
tbe first house, where they remained for
seven vears.
In 1839 James .Young opened the Yellow
Inn, an old-fashioned country house at the
Forks of the Eoad. Before railroads were
laid, and while the stage coach was the only
means of travel, his house be came terminal
for all coaches coming in from Philadelphia,
New York, Boston and all eastern points.
CAUGHT THE DUXKARD.
On the mountains there lived a class of
people who were known as Dunkards, a
peculiar religious people, still numerous.
Every year a portion of them emigrated
West, and their only means of travel was
on horseback. In the year 1840, by some
means, a few of these migrators were de
layed, and, passing through Pittsburg, a
storm overtook them, and they sought
shelter in the Yellow Tavern. "Jimmie,"
as he was popularly known, treated them
with great delicacy, and for years afterward
he annually entertained the Dunkards, and
his house was their only stopping place in
the long journeys they were taking.
In the same year owing to a legal injunc
tion and a case pending before the United
States Supreme Court, no licenses were
granted for Allegheny county. Every inn
keeper, however, presented his petition for
a license to thelJudge; but they were re
fused. When "Jimmie" hobbled into the
Court House and approached the Judge's
desk, Tom Marshell turned to him and
said: "Shall I present your petition?" He
replied "no," and handed, with his para
lyzed arm, his petition to the Judge. The
Judge smilingly took it, turned to his asso
ciate, and alter a little talk
GRANTED HIM HIS LICENSE.
which was the only one in Allegheny county
for four months.
For many years the families of Judge
McClure and Judge McCandless used to
wait in chairs outside James Young's "bar
parlor" for their carriages, which met them
as they returned from the city.
Mr. Young was among the first to advo
cate the grading of the hill from Bayards
town down to the river, and every improve
ment he not only heartily indorsed, but
helped along. . Lawrenceville owes much to
'his early effort.
Mrs. Young was his faithful companion,
and Lawrenceville, by her death, loses one
of its oldest and most respected residents.
