SWOB4E '4 -' THE 'PITTSBtJRG- v DISPATCH. SdNDAT, AUGUST, .4. 1889. sr THOSE CONVENTIONS. The Republican County Committee Fixes the Dates Therefor. THEY WILL LE HELD SEPAEATELT. Judje Petterman Objected to the, Plan, But Was Overcome. S01IB IlirOETANT SUB-COMMITTEES The County Republican Executive Com mittee held itslargest meeting thisseason yes terday afternoon with Vice President John 2. Neeb in the chair. The purpose -was to fix the number of conventions tor June, 1890, and to desijnate the officers to be nominated. Twenty minutes were consumed in calling the roll, 200 being present. Judge Tetter man wanted the roll dispensed with, but Alderman Schaefer objected, and it was proceeded with. Sheriff McCandless offered the following resolution: Whekeas, In accordance with Kale Ho. 6, of the rules EOvemlnB the Republican Execu tive Committee of Allecheny county, it is pro vided that "at least four months previous to the primary elections and conventions,! the County Committee shall determine the number of couuty conventions to be held and officers' to be nominated therein;" theretore be it Kesolved, That primary elections be held on the first Saturday In June, 1S90, between the hours of 4 and 7 o'clock r. X., in the several election districts throughout the county, to elect delcpates to the lollowine conventions: County convention No. 1, county convention No. 2, county convention No. 3, county con vention No. 4. Also to elect delecates to the several Con cressional. Senatorial and Assembly districts as provided by rule No. 5. County convention No. I. to nominate a candidate for Sheriff and a candidate for Controller; county convention No. 2, to nominate a candidate for Treasurer, a candidate for Clerk of Courts and a candidate for Director of the Toor. Convention No. 3 to nominate a candidate for Recorder and a can didate for Register of Wills. Convention No. 4. to nominate two candidates for Commis sioners and a candidate for Assistant District Attorney. I OB SEPARATE CONVENTIONS. Judge Fetterman offered an amendment to the resolution creating a separate con vention for each of the general county officers to be nominated. This would make eight conventions instead ot four. Mr. Flinn objected to the amendment on the ground that it would create an army of delegates, and as there was no opposition to the candidates for the several county offices, he could not see the practicability in having so many conventions. Judge Fetterman thought it would create too much confusion to have two officers nominated in one convention, and referred to the time when all the countv officers were nominated in one convention, and it nearly alwavs took two or three days to make up the ticket. Dr. McClarren moved, as an amendment to the amendment, that the Crawlord county system be adopted; but Chairman Neeb ruled his motion out of order, for the reason that the rules provide a system by which all county officers shall be nominated. Judge Fetterman's amendment was then voted on. and was lost by a larae majority, alter which the resolution offered by Sheriff McCand,less was adopted, with but one dis senting voice that ot Judge Fetterman. Secretary Martin then announced the sub committees which had been appointed since the last meeting. They embrace a list of 400 names.

Chairman Neeb said that was unnecessary, as there were never any complaints or grievances in the Republican ranks. Mr. Schaefer thought the Chairman was wrong, for the leaders were at war all the time. Chairman Neeb replied that the County Committee had nothing to do with the private affairs of the leaders. Mr. Schaefer then mcved that the regnlar meeting of the committee be held on the sec ond Saturday in each month. This carried, and the committee will meet next Saturday to indorse the State ticket FOB A $25,000 BRIDGE. TheWIImot Street Structure to be Built by C. J. Schnliz.

Ba UKCLE BEN'S DEATH. The Oldest Pltubnr Printer Passes Awny A Man Whs Wm One or the Argonauts of '49 A Lire of Incident. "Uncle Ben" Franklin Latshaw died of a complication of diseases at his home, 31 Ful ton street, yesterday morning. He was the oldest printer in Pittsburg, having been born in Stoystown, Somerset county, February 15, 1621. As early as 1833 he began his appren ticeship at the case with his elder brother, W. D. Latshaw, publisher of a paper in Johnstown. He remained in that position for two years, when he came to Pittsburg and was appren ticed on a paper published by Robert M. Riddle. At the conclusion of his appren ticeship he went to Missouri, and engaged with the Springfield Register. From there, in the Tear 1840, he again associated him self with his brother, who was conducting a paper at Mt Carmel on the Wabash river, after which he came to Pittsburg, and went the rounds of all the city newspapers. Then he went to Philadelphia, but again returned the Iron City in 1845. Again in 1849 he went to St Joseph, Missouri, by river, and crossed overland to California. When he landed at Sacra mento he determined to go out to the gold diggings. He had not remained but a few weeks in the mines when he returned to the case, having secured employment at Sacra mento, where he received $2 per thousand ems. This may seem an overestimate; but it must be taken into consideration that all the necessities of life were exorbitantly high. . Cholera broke out very shortly after he had started to set type; and he thought it best to come east, and arrived once more in Pittsburtr in 1851. From that period he has at intervals been foreman of the Commercial Gazette and "held cases" on the Post. Uncle Ben's iuneral will take place at 4 r. M. to-day, and the burial will be at Home wood Cemetery on Monday at 10 A. M. LOTTERY TEOPLE GEKEROUS. Attorney Porte Geu nn Intimation SInch of the Money Blown In by Fiona Slay Be Restored to the Bank. James H. Porte, Esq., the attorney for Harry Flann, late bookkeeper of the Ma rine National Bank, has returned from his Southern trip. Mr. Porte's trip was taken in the-interest of young Flann. He is try ing to get the directors of the Louisiana Lottery to reimburse the bank for the money Flann stole from it Mr. Porte stopped at Westchester, N. Y., and saw Mr. Morris, legal adviser of the lottery company, and got letters of introduction that were hclplul to him. When he got South, Mr. Dauphin, of the lottery, was ill at home, but Mr. Porte saw Mr. Mclntyre, his private Becretary.and received very encouraging information. Mr. Mclntyre said there was no legal ground on which to get restitution; but the company had frequently returned money under similar conditions. "It is not," said Mr. Mclntyre, "the policy of the lottery company to receive money, if we are a sured it is not the personal property of the individual who invests it" He advised Flann's lawyer to make a formal request to the lottery company in writing. The charter of the lottery company ex pires in December, 1894, and it is believed that no fnrther charter will be granted if there should be any formidable objection. The lottery people have many friends down in Louisiana. They believe this organiza tion prevents gambling. Flann will have to remain in jail until his trial takes place, as he can't get bail. OUT OP IT TEEI CHEAP." An Attorney Tell How a 83 Pis Cost 847 When Litigated. J. W. Kinnea, Esq., related to a Dis patch reporter yesterday his first legal case. A man had been sued for selling an unsound pig, yet when he sold it, to the best of his knowledge it was sound. The pig was sold for $5 in the first instance. The seller gavi his attorn ey$5 .to defend him. The prosecutor also paid bis attorney $5. The case was tried and judgment given against the defendant for half the cost of the pig. The costs in the case were $13 50. The defendant's attorney received an additional $5, and the prosecutor's attorney $10. Be tween the principals in the case $41, aside from the price of the pig, had been spent to settle a $5 case. "WHO KNOWS THEM? Information of John Breen and Bridget BrophT Wnnted Abrond.

Deterring or Eegulat ing Lav"3 liemain. SENATOR DKATO'S D0G-0HNED BATIOKS Senator John F. Dravo formulated the latest new dog law, and it passed both brauches of the Legislature. It is safe to say that there is more dogology on the stat ute books of Pennsylvania and sister States than legal lore on all other dumb animal subjects. Though both Moses and Mohammed discriminated against the dog, and only tolerated him as a scavenger, he has held his own, and is better acquainted with the world at large than the world is with its own statutes and ordinances. Some say the Indian is descended from some of the lost tribes to whom Moses gave law; but, though the dog had no status worth speaking of under his law, yet the average Indian prizes his dog above his squaw, and expects the faithful animal to bear him company in the happy hunting ground of the great to come. The dog, though the friend of man, is on the whole a very injudicious friend. When sowing his wild oats in the days of exuber ant puppyhood, be usually destroys in value his weight in silver, if not in gold, and his indigenous appetite for mutton makes him the terror of farmers. Occasionally he sucks eggs, and his misdirected zeal, in behalf of his owner's interest, has caused many a suit in court ou charges of keeping a ferocious dog or frightening horses. HIS STATUS SOW FIXED. Special laws for the management of the dog dot the statute books as thickly as stars in the firmament, and Senator Dravo has added a general one which, Judge Fetter man says, is almost entirely nugatory, save in the feature of making the dog personal property. This reduces him to the old-time status of an African in the Sonthern States. It is said that Red Jacket's classification ran thus: "The white man first, the Indian next, the dog next and the nigger next and last" In Pennsylvania this is now all changed; Mr. Dravo makes the doc per sonal property, and the African isn't, and hasn't been since 1865. But, notwithstanding the prejudice in favor of the dog, he, or rather his, master labors under some disability. For instance, it is now provided by Pennsylvania law that the owner ofa supposed mad dog may be cited before a Justice of the Peace, who may direct that the dog be killed. Dogs that worry sheep may be killed. Owners are responsible for all damages caused by dogs. Registered dogs have been regarded as personal property. Dogs seen in an in cisure with cattle or sheep may be killed, and in consequence the life of an illiterate dog has not always been a happy one. In some instances special laws applying to certain counties provide that damages collected from owners by law-breaking dogs shall be applied to the purchase of merino sheep, whose offspring shall be divided among the injured owners. In fact, as Judge Fetterman observes, there are as manv special dog laws as there are patents on churns. 'TWILL BE UNHEALTHY. Senator Dravo'n bill provides among other things that the owners of dogs shall pay a tax of CO cents annually and of bitches $L The tax is to be assessed the same as that for the school fund and as sessed by the township assessors the same as on other property. The County Commis sioners are directed to return to the school directors of the various districts the number ot dogs in each district and the tax is to be paid to them. Iftheow;ner of a criminal dog can be made to pay for his pet's torts in the way of sheep killing, all right; if not, such losses are to be divided pro rata, if the tax fund be insufficient In adjudicating claims the Justice of the Peace and town ship auditors are allowed a fee of 50 cents in each case, and, if there be a sur plus of $100, it is to be covered into the school fund. The mode of moving for re lief is that when a person sustains loss by a sheep-killing dog or dogs he can make an information before a justice of the peace in the township or borough where such loss is sustained, and if the dog owner do not ap pear, the County Assessor, after being as sured of the loss, may proceed to carry out sentence, and if the owner be responsible the damage is to be collected in full from him; if not, the fund win be drawn upon. The township and borough Boards of Assessors are required to take a dog censns at the beginning of the year 1890; but, as the act does not repeal any of the special acts, the legal opinion is given that all the verbiage and machinery of the last act will have no other effect than to make all dogs in the townships and bor oughs of this Commonwealth personal prop erty, and subject the man who steals one to prosecution for larceny. GEArEYIlTE FOOD WILL BE PLENTY. It is said there are 75,000 dogs in this county; but ere the assessors get to work it is estimated that there will be a great mor tality among them (the dogs). A man may fight for his poodle, and yet be averse to paying tax for him. It seems just the least bit strange that the 30-ounce poodle and the 150-pound Newfoundland should be taxed the same, it the object be the prevention of sheep killing; but it is more than an even chance that the tax will generally be paid on the poodle more readily than on his larger relative. The Fallmaster does not set any great store on dead dogs, so they will not likely go to the schinderv to any considerable extent; but it is said that the body of a dog put under a grape vine is productive of great results, so that viticulture is likely to re ceive an immense impetus next year. "Tray, Blanche and Sweetheart, little dogs and all," may find it necessary to call a convocation to determine whether to bark at Senator Dravo or fawn on him. TVILKINSBURGERS WILD. A Mad Dog Attacks and Bites Several Boys an tbo Street. On Friday the citizens of Wilkinshurg were in a state of perturbation. A dog afflicted with rabies came rushing down Wood street and dashed into a crowd of five boys. He"first bit Charlie Doran, tearing his hind, and then snatched at the limb of Charlie's brother, leaving but the prints of his teeth on him. He also made a break for Eddie Dickinson, springing upon his shoulder and tore his hat into shreds. The dog afterward ran frantically down Main street, followed by Doran'a father, with six other men. They finally cauirht the dog in front of a bakery store, and not nntil they had put eight bullets into him was he beyond the power of doing further mischief. Dr. Penning is attending the boy Doran. To be Prond Of. It is pleasant to record the result of well directed effort in any department of busi ness, especially wben that success is backed by merit Competition in all branches of business at this time is great, and he who by energy, integrity and perseverance takes the lead'is worthy of commendation. In thtf connection may be mentioned Dr. Tutt, of New York, who has achieved a great victory over competitors in the introduction of his world renowned liver pills. In a compara tively short time they surpassed pills that had been before the public over a quarter of a century. Tutt's Liver Pills have gained a popularity unparalleled. Indorsed bv the medical faculty iu Europe and America, they have become a household word on both conuacnts. AN ODD LEGISLATIVE GRIST. Several Important Acts Poised Lnst Winter Which Bare Escaped Attention Depos its In Broken Banks. The life of a lawyer is not so free from care as some suppose. In addition to the constantly increasing differentiation and specializing which makes it necessary for one lawyer to devote himself to criminal, another to international, and still another to marine law, etc, if State Legislatures continue to legislate the time is not far dis tant when lawyers will be necessary as a class to devote themselves exclusively to the study, or rather memorizing, of State enact ments, repeals, etc. Messrs. Raymond and Bennett were yes terday looking through a volume contain ing a record of thedoings of the late Legis lature, und in a very brief time they dis covered several of pretty general interest, and for some reason the following cases cited seem not to have attracted the atten tion their importance demands: Here is one that will command general respect It is made a misdemeanor for an insolvent banker or broker to receive moneys from depositors when the receiver knows himself or his bank to be insolvent, and such person, receiving moneys under such circumstances, npon conviction is to be fined double the amount' so received, and imprisoned from one to three years, in tne discretion of the Court Had this law been in force in this State during the past five years, there might have been a boom in striped clothing. Police authorities are required to photo graph habitual criminals and make a par ticular description of them. The photo graph and description are to be furnished to the authorities ot all States where reciproc ity in the matter can be established. An act allowing trust funds to be re moved from this State to another, and there placed in the custody ofa trustee approved by a court in the State to which they arc re moved, is said to have a history connected with it The act is said to have been inspired by Patrick Henry Winston, Esq. The will of the late Alexander Miller, Esq., provided that the interest of $25,000 was to be paid to Mrs. Winston during her life, and the principal divided among her children. F. C. Miller, Esq., was made trustee, and the appoint ment did not meet with Mr. Winston's ap probation. Accordingly, he procured the passage of the act and now the tund is in trusted, or if not, will be. to a trustee resi dent at Spokane Falls, Wash. T. A SIAGISTEATE HAULED UP. Sqnlre Hyndman Tnkei Bis Chnnces on Ejecting nn Objector. Police Magistrate Hyndman, of the Nine teenth ward, waived a hearing for court, before Alderman Mclnelrny yesterday morning, qn a charge of assault and battery preferred by Contractor R. S. Walters. The prosecutor was sued before Hyndman by two workmen, who were refused their pay when it was demanded. Walters testified that he would settle on pay day, but not be fore.as was peremptorially asked by the em ployes. Magistrate Hyndman rendered judgment in favor of the workmen. This angered Walters, and it is alleged by the defendant that Walters used violent language and re fused to leave the office. The prosecutor affirms that he had not time to leave, but was ejected forcibly by the magistrate. THE HOPEFUL SIXTT-FIVE. That Number ot Applicants for Positions la the Postofflce. A civil service examination for appli cants seeking positions in the postoffice will be held at Curry University Tuesday from 9 A. M. until 4 P. m. Sixty-five applica tions have been already filed.

J.- W. Elgin, who formerly lived on San dusky street, Allegheny, but who now re sides at Wildwood station, was yesterday held by Mavor Peterson ou a charge ot lar ceny by bailee. The plaintiff is Mrs. The ressa Hyward, who alleges that she gave Elgin $65 to deposit in a bank. This, it was testified, he failed to do, and appropri ated the money to his own use. Glass Nicely and Deeply Cat. The Lotus Club, Soulhside, have placed a magnificent sheet of plate glass in the hall door. The sheet is an inch thick and the cut is a quarter of an inch. It is cut in blocks, panels and columns, and presents a very striking and beautiful appearance. The glass weighs 65 pounds, and was made by a Philadelphia firm. It cost $95. The Western University. The work on the new buildings of the Western University, on Observatory Hill, is being pushed as rapidly as possible, and al ready marked progress has been made. .When the institution takes possession of the new buildings it will have the finest struc tures for educational purposes in the State. While this work is in progress, active prep arations are being made for the opening of the fall term. Special attention is being paid to the new course of mechanical and electrical engineering which is being added. The institution is now in a highly prosper ous condition, and the advantages which it affords for acquiring a thorough education should be appreciated by the public.

THERE IS A SEQUEL To the Perjury Suit of Wishart Against Milkshake Martin. IT IS FOLLOWED TIP IN COURTS. Another Tangle in the Eouthslde Water Works Litigation, GENERAL HEWS OF THE COUNTI COUETS Attorney Wm. Yost yesterday presented a petition in the Quarter Sessions Court on behalf of A. Wishart It was stated that last summer John A. Martin had been fined $25 and costs in each of two suits befortf Alderman Carlisle, for selling on Sunday. Martin appealed to court, holding that he had already been fined before Alderman Schafer for the same offenses, and had paid the fines. Upon the strength of this the Court gave judgment in favor of Martin, releasing him from the payment of the fines imposed,by Alderman Carlisle. It is now claimed that a fraud was per petrated, that no fines bad ever been paid to Alderman Schafer. The Alderman denied having ever received the fines when the State's agent applied to him for payment of them, and Martin now admits that he never paid them. It is asked that the order of court relieving Martin be revoked and that he be compelled to pay the fines. Judge Collier issued a rule on Martin to show cause why the former order should not be revoked. The case will be heard on Mon day, August 19. This is a sequel to the suit began this week before Alderman Brinker by Captain Wishart, charging Martin with perjurv. A. J. Kearcher, the Federal street drug gist, filed an appeal yesterday against the sentence of Alderman Carlisle for selling soda water on Sunday, July 27. The plain tiff claims he was fined $25 and costs by Alderman Tatem for the same offense, and claims that he cannot be punished twice for the same offense. AS IKD1TIDUALS TOO. The Directors of the aionongnhela Water Works Explain. M. W. Watson, President of the Monon gahela Water Company yesterday filed a plea and answer in the equity suit of H. Sellers McKee and others against the Mc nongahela Water Company, Mr. Watson and others. In the suit it was alleged that certain stockholders of the Monongahela Water Company, M. W. Watson. B. F. Jones,T, B. Atterbury and J. S. Atterbury, and John H. Dalzell, who was not then a stockholder, had purchased' the plant of the Manufacturers' Water Company. They had been authorized by the company to purchase theplant tor the company, but purchased it as individuals. They then in turn sold it to the Monongahela Water Company for $450,000, a great advance over what they had paid. The transaction, it was claimed, was fraudulent, and the Coiirt was asked to make the defendants refund the money they had gained by it. Mr. Watson in his plea states that the purchase by the Monongahela Water Com pany of the plant of the manufacturers' company was made pursuant to a unani mous vote of the stockholders of the former company, the plaintiffs participating, and they accepted and still hold their propor tion of the stock distributed by T. B. Atter bury, trustee for the stockholders of the Manufacturers' Water Company. The plain tiffs have also received dividends on their stock. For this reason Watson asks that the suit be dismissed. In his answer, also filed, Watson states that the defendants pur chased the Manufacturers' Water Company as individuals, with their own means and for the purpose of protecting their interests in' the Monongahela company. The pur chase was not made for the Monongahela companv. The Monongahela company then in a legitimate manner purchased the plant from them, to do so increasing its capital stock from $998,200 to $1,448,200. MORE DIY0KCE CASES.

The continued and increasing prosperity of the glass city of Jeannette, on the main line of the Pennsylvania Railroad, almost near enough to be a suburb of Pittsburg, is a matter ot wonder and interest to every ob server. A year ago, when the town was started on a tract ot 200 acres purchased for that purpose, no one could foresee or place a limit on the wonderful forces and capital that would be employed in developing the resources and advantages of that then quiet rural district The first site has become too small for lhe town's growth and contiguous lands have been recently purchased by the Western Land and Improvement Company, upon which they are daily enlarging their orig inal plans. On the east and south and north the lines have been moved out, taking in all the available territory not at the old price, but at largely increased figures. Even a section of country, known now as East Jeannette, has realized the importance of its nearness to Jeannette, has awakened from its slumbers and has secured the loca tion ofa nice little glass plant thatwill be in operation in the early -fall. On the southeastern portion of the town, on the company's lands, will soon be erected a large plant to manufacture steel and iron into finished shapes, while on the west a second large stack nointin? heavenward in dicates the early cdmpletlon of the second immense tank of the four that were com prised in tho original plan of the Chambers & McKee Glass Company. We had ex pected a certain halt in improvements during the time the factories were closed. lor summer vacation, but the reverse is the case; the restless' energy of the population would not permit the train of improvement to halt for the reocening of the fall fires, but kept steadily ahead making preparations lor tne most vigorous campaign in tne history of any town in the whole country. Scores of houses are being erected in every quarter. The libcralitv of the West ern Land and Improvement Company urged the movement of those with small means by loaning them money on favorable terms and by building a large additional number of houses for the accommodation of the largely increased number required to start the new tank furnace. Although not a certainty, it is highly probable that in the early future a manu facturing plant 01 no mean proportions will' be erected on a late purchase of land lying' upon the extension northward of Third and Fourth streets. The Westmoreland Water Company are now laying a system of water works through out the town to supply bountifully all who want it with the "best mountain water. Plans are being prepared for churches and a large and commodious school building. There is an active movement in real estate, and a steady upward movement In values that is gratifying to holders of property. Just as this is being written the grading of Third street North is being completed, and a number of new lots are ready for market at low prices and easy terms, "that leave large margins of profit for the future market. The actual working, of the great tank during the two months just preceding the banking of fires for summer has demop strated beyond doubt the success of that method of making gloss in this country, and many new men and their families aie mov ing in, to be ready for the fall fires. Prosperity appears everywhere in the town, and at its present rate of increase in population another year will see the town with a population of not less than 5,000. All communications in regard to lots should be addressed tp M. J. Alexander, General Manager, Jeannette, Penna. Slop-Odnt Cresson Springs on Pennsylva nia Railroad Ticket.
