ECU kSsfcSMra PiSW THE PITTSBURG- J5ISPATCH, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 21, 1889. 3 CKIME'S EXCUBSION, The County Treats All the Convicts of the Workhouse to a Bide, AT A COST OF $1,200 EVERY YEAE. Bat ly an Amicable Arrangement Be tween the Two Cities, THE EAILEOAD FAKES AEE CHEAPENED The conveyance of prisoners to the work house from the cities of Pittsburg and Alle gheny annually costs the county $600, and it is estimated by Warden Warner that it cost two-thirds as much to pay the fares back to the city of those who are discharged. During 1888 the "West Penn Railroad Com pany received probably $1,200 from the workhouse passenger traffic, and only about I f60 from the traffic to and from the Alle l gheny City Poor Home, which is also lo cated at Claremont By an amicable arrangement between the county and city authorities a Earing of at least $500 pervear has been effected in these passenger fares. The expense of conveying prisoners to the workhouse is Fustained by (he county. Under the law, an officer was allowed 90 cents for each prisoner taken to that institution. As it frequently happens that one officer conveys half a dozen pris oners, he. would be able to clear a nice sum every day at the county's expense. "When the workhouse was opened, in 1870, County Controller Henry Lambert, who was the pre decessor of "Warden Henry Warner in the Controller's office, made an amicable ar rangement with the Mayors of Pittsburg and Allegheny, by which the Controller pur chased and furnished to the officers of the two cities what are called "family trip books," good either way between Alltgheny City and Claremont over the West Penn road. Each of these books contains coupons for 50 rides, and cost $8 70. As the fare one way is 27 cents, a saving is made of $4 80 on every 50 trips. There is an actual saving, as explained by Warden Warner, even greater than this. nOW IT IS SAVED. For instance, yesterday sixteen prisoners were taken from the city to the workhouse, in charge of only three officers. Under the law these three officers would receive $14 40 from the, county for their prisoners. The actual expense of the officers, by purchasing one-way tickets for their prisoners and round-trip tickets for themselves, would be only $5 64. Under the system in vogue. 22 coupons required for yesterday's trip cost the county only $3 83, making a saving of $10 57 on yesterday's;work alone. In 1883 Pittsburg sent 2,508 prisoners to the workhouse, Allegheny City 368, and the county outside of the city sent 139. From other counties 120 pay prisoners were re ceived. For four years there has been a constant and decided decrease in the num ber of men and women sent to Claremont from the two cities. For this decrease War den Warner said that he was wholly unable to account. He considers it to be merely the ebb and flaw discernible in the statistics of nearly every penal institution in the county. The daily average of prisoners during 1588 was 504. Yesterday there were 618 inmates, of whom 88 were women The Warden pays the fare of all female prisoners discharged and desiring to return to the city. The fares of many male prisoners are paid, according to the dis cretion of the Warden. If the weather is :--lement, or If the prisoner be old. lame or his fare is paid. During the summer s two-thirds of the male prisoners dis ' walk to the city. Sometimes an -odied prisoner has been a good and .aUe worker during his confinement, fUf tljea his fare is paid as a matter of re nird. c "Many of the prisoners soon return," Mr. Warner says. "They are unfitted lor any other work, and seem to be unable to earn a living. Not a few prefer to live at the workhouse. They are like fish out of water when they are away from here. I imagine that you cannot guess how many times some of our inmates have been here. One man is serving his fifty-filth term." THREE YEARS TRANSPORTATION. The ticket books for persons sent to the Allegheny City Poor Home, at Claremont, are purchased by Major Hunker, of the Al legheny Board of Charities. The item is not a large one, as only 165 persons were sent to the Poor House last year. Nearly the same number of persons were discharged from the institution, and they were likewise furnished tickets back to the city. The following number of prisoners were sent to the workhouse during the past three years: 1SS6L 1S87. 18S8. From Pittsburg 2,878 2,768 2,5u8 From Allegheny 616 439 36S County, except city 209 100 139 Othercounties 129 H3 120 All of which figures furnish an idea of . what crime and the administration do for a railroad company in the way of patronage. OP TWO C0L0ES. Pecnllarliy in the Eyes of a Prisoner Up nt (lie Workbome. John Manning, the man who was sent to the workhouse on July 29, for his assault on Rev. Father Schaeper, in St. Philomena's Church, is employed in the garden at the workhouse. He is a native of France, 49 years old, and a farmer and gardener by profession. The attendants at tbe work house, Warden Warner says, consider the man slightly insaue. A reporter had a talk with Manning yesterdav, and asked him to say why he had assaulted the priest. The prisoner said: "He be rubbing me down all the while. He send people after me everv night. I thought I rub him down." This was all that could be gotten out of the fellow. He looks and talks like an insane man, but is said to be a good farmer. His left eye is dark brown and his right eye a light gray. HE WAS WEIGHTED- DOWtf. Why Win. StlrslHz Very Nearly Drowned in the River. The man who was overcome while bring ing a drowning boy out of the Monongahela river at the Tenth street bridge Monday was Wm. Stieglitz instead of Ued Young, as first reported. When he jumped into tbe water Mr. Stieglitz had three pounds of tacks and a heavy hammer in the pockets of his coat, and it was this weight that helped to tire him. He was slightly injured in running down the bank, but was able to be about yesterday. This is the third person he has rescued. The Eighth Street Explosion. Coroner McDowell resumed the inquest on the bodies of John O'Connor, John Miller and John Grunier, the three men killed August 9 by the Eighth street ex plosion. Tne following verdict was re turned: The deceased came, to their deaths on Au gust 9. while testing the pipe main :ine by means of air, and tbo deadcap coming off, through tbe breaking of a bolt, the concussion of the air causing the injuries wblcb proved fatal, and that from all tbe evidence the Jury found that every possible precaution had been taken by tbe contractors and workmen, and that their deatbs were accidental and unavoid ble.

Power Hall Will Be Finished In Time What It Going on In Main Ball A Splendid Art Gallery. A stroll to the vicinity of the Exposition buildings discloses a scene of great activity. A small army of workmen is working vig orously, and with bright prospects of get ting things into shape by this day two weeks. Power Hall, seen from a distance, is very delusive to the eyesight. It looks small as seen from the Sixth street bridge, owing to its skeleton frame. As a matter of fact, it is 300 feet long and 112 feet wide. Thereof is nearly completed, and the task of covering the frame is being rushed. The tremendously heavy oak flooring is nearly all dewj, and the turrets at each corner are being marked in rapidly. The foundations for the two engines have been finished, also tbe foundation for a water tank 21x42 feet. The restaurant, 114x72 feet in size, is nearly completed. It is built on piles and projects over the river. A promenade 10 feet wide runs the entire length of the building overhanging the river. Tickets to meals will include the view from the river. It may not be as grand as the view from the Eiffel Tower Bestaurant,out it will be pretty well for Pittsburg. The building; will be completed this week. Murphy & Hamilton have 108 men working 12 hours a dav, and say that tbey have things in a forward con dition. The floor space will be ready for the exhibitors next week. The "tin-plate" annex at the west end of the main building will be finished this week. Some enterpris ing chap has received permission to erect a large living horse on the open space between the end ot the 'building and the Union bridge. Main building is now in the hands of the exhibitors. The huge edifice has been painted a warm red throughout. The pil lars have been picked out in red and light brown, and look quite artistic The gal leries are handsomely painted. Measure ments were taken yesterday for the decora tion of the roof timbers. Their ungainly outlines will be concealed by red, white and blue bunting. Nearly all the platforms are constructed by the exhibitors, and from the outside all the approaches and sidewalks are being placed in order. The new and im proved turnstiles, eight in all, four for each entrance, have arrived and are ready to be set up. They are mostly of iron, and are considerable of an improvement upon the old Centennial turnstiles. About the only piece of carpentry work now in the building erected by exhibitors is the handsome pagoda of S. S. Marvin & Co. This stands on the gallery fronting the main entrance. It will be colored black, white and gilt. The band stand and the sounding board at the back are completed. The band stand is directly over the main entrance. The art gallery is one of the finest ever erected in America. There are six large chambers with labyriuthian entrances so contrived that no light enters except from the apertures at the top, which are covered with white muslin, the walls being built so as to contract nearly half at the top. The prevailing color is dark red, and the effect is to Becure a "dim religious light." jnst the thing for the proper display of pictures. These latter were moved in yesterday( and the job of hanging will be immediately commenced by Artist Clarence Johns. The art gallery certainly gives evidence of care in its preparation. The system of foot lights for each row of pictures will be very comprehensive. The Westinghouse people have finished the job of changing all the incandescent lights from 16 to 25 candle power. There are now 864 incandescent and 22 arc lights in the building A number of other special display lights are to be put in. Union men are watching the interior of main building very closely. Two car penters at work yesterday on a stand for a music firm were notified to quit; and lost no time in getting out. No non-union man will be allowed to strike a lick in the build ing, for Murphy & Hamilton's force stands ready to quit at a moment's notice. Heinz, the pickle man. will have a unique display. He has the entire east wall of the building, and erected a scaffold yes terdav. To-day a huge canvas will be stretched, covering nearly the entire space. Painters will cover the''canvas'with au fm-H mense view of Mr. Heinz pickle garden. At the bottom of this view will be a space 20 feet high and the width .of the dead wall, with figures worked out in pickle bottles. It will be the greatest pickle exhibit ever made in this country. It is a singular thing, but tbe first exhibit Sut in permanent position in the main uilding is the old ''Vigilant" fire engine, with its old leather hose and queer brass'in scriptlon marked "Instituted in 1811." The Exposition Society managers held their regular meeting yesterday afternoon. The business transacted was principally of a routine character. The contracts for lighting tbe building during the Exposi tion were approved. The cost will be about $12,000. Although the work at the Exposition grounds looks discouraging to outsiders, tbe managers still have no fear of it not be ing ready for the opening. Manager Johnston said yesterday it would not be any fault of his if the work is not done. He has been insisting on the work being pushed night and day. From Homestead to Braddaek. Yesterday morning the Braddock and Homestead Steel Railway Company were granted a charter at the State Department, Harrisburg. The line of railway is as fol lows: From the Mifflin township road, Al legheny county, some 200 feet east of Home stead; thence to City Farm street, and by Sixth avenue and Hayes to Eighth avenue, from which it goes by township road to the corner of Calhoun plan of lots, returning by the same route. The capital stock is $20,000 and the stockholders are W. F. McCook, of Swissvale; B. F. Bafferty and A. A. Getty, of Pittsburg; A. L. Henderson and C. K. Sewell, Alfegheny City. A Family Disrupted. On Monday evening before Justice Con rad, of Mt.

They live on tbe Jorg farm in Baldwin township The young people denied all the evidence brbught forward, and entered bail for court. The Enterprise Sunk. On Monday night the steamboat Enter prise sank near Georgetown in ten feet of water. She was coming up with ten empty barges and running into a snag, sprung a leak and went down. She 'is owned by O'Neill & Co., and they have begun the work of raising her, but being in a very bad position it is expected, she will occasion some trouble. The loss is put at 515.000. No More Fortune Telllnc Tbe case of MadameHattie Delefanto, charged with fortune telling, was discharged yesterday afternoon by Magistrate Mc Kenna upon tbe payment of costs and the promise from Mr. Donaldson that the mu seum on Sixth street would be closed.

Canal BIG IHPfiOTEMENTS ON MOJiONGAHELA The meeting of all river coal operators and steamboatmen in the office of John A. Wood & Sons, 86 Water street, this after noon at 2 o'clock means more than would at first appear to those outside of the circle. Ostensibly they are to meet to elect dele gates to the Western Waterway Convention, to be held in Cincinnati on September 4. Heretofore such a meeting in regard to the annual convention has not created much of an excitement among the rivermen; now they are all looking forward to the conven tion as the most important step toward re trieving the waning- prestige of the river coal kings. As a a gentleman in John A. Wood's office said yesterday, business on the river has continued to be very dull, and the rivermen and coal operators say something must be done. The one thing that will bring back the old days and enliven river trade, in their opinion is the proposed sys tem of dams to Beaver on the Ohio, and the canal thence to the lakes. Capt. I. N. Bunton, 'of Jos. Walton Ss Co., said yesterday that the delegates who will be sent to the convention from Pitts burg will advocate strongly the dam and canal scheme above all other improve ments on the Ohio, and would do all possi ble to have the projecct carried through. PITTSBURG'S BIO DELEGATION. Sixteen delegates, at least, will be ap pointed to-day to go the convention. Besides the dam and 'canal project, they will look after the proper location of a couple of new bridges at Wheeling and Louisville, and also a general agreement as to the improve ments necessary, but the accomplishment of the proposed canal project will be the chief topic brought by the members of this sec tion before the convention. The end to be achieved is to show the feasibility ot the project, and the great results to commerce that would accrue therefrom. Governor Beaver has already written the rivermen here, allowing them to name men for the commission authorized by the Legis lature to look up the canal and dam project and the men will be selected soon. The decrease in the Southern coal trade is attributed by some as due to the cheap ness of mining the Alabama and Tennessee coal and other mines South. The coal is far inferior, but is used on account of its cheapness. Captain Joseph Walton said that in many of the mines convicts are employed, costing little more than their "keep." The convention in September will repre sent all the steamboatmen of tbe Mississippi, Ohio and their tributaries withthe interests of navigation involved by all. A MONONGAHELA TRItrMPH. Dam No. 8, on the Monongahela river, is expected to be completed by December 1. This dam will be of immense importance to Morcantown. W. "Va.. andisot considerable interest to this neighborhood also, especially to the river packet company. When finished a Morgantowner can take a boat in the even ing and come to this city by morning, rest ing during the night in his stateroom as comfortably as at home, and be in this city in the morning refreshed and ready - for business Colonel Merrill is authority for the statement that the dam will be finished this season. The bnilding of this dam affords another illustration of how-not-to-do-it method of Government building. The lock has been fin ished for quite awhile, and at times portions of the work on the dam have-been built, but successive freshets not only stopped work but carried much away that had been done. This delay has also been aggravated by the Government method of mating appropria tions which have been the cause'ot the loss of much of the work. When the appropria tion is exhausted work ceases. President M. K. Moorhead, of the Mo nongahela Navigation Company, also states that West Virginia influence has stood in the way of the prosperity of the section about Morgantown. Tbe navigation com pany owns dam No. 7, and No. 8 was in tended to have been built before No. 9, but West Virginia thought hest to have No. 9 built before No. 8, thinking the building of the former would expedite that of the latter. ME. MOOKHEAD'S POINT. Mr. Moorhea'd makes a point on the mat ter in the controversy between his company and the Government. He says that dam No. 7 has already cost $236,000 and is not completed, while the Government has ap pealed from the award of $207,000 for dam No. 8, which is lower than No. 7, being further down the river. It seems that the Monongahela Navigation Company will likely go on collecting tolls for four'or five years yet in consequence of the appeal, as it is thought that much time will be consumed before the legal entanglement is straight ened.

Still Another Arrest A Third Alderman Be Ids Looked For Why the Other Class of Blackmailing la Not Prosecuted. Alderman Hyndman was asked last even ing if any information had been made be fore him by Police Inspector Whitehouse in a new set of blackmailing cases, said to center in the Lawrenceville district. He replied that no information had been made as yet The cases are said to involve the proprietors of questionable resorts other than speak-easies. From another official it is learned, how ever, that a number of cases have been brought to the attention of the police, but they are of such a nature as to render it impossible to secure evidence. Married men have committed indiscretions which have been made the basis oi charges against them. Dreading publicity, the men hsve invariably settled in the usual back-room fashion in a certain Alderman's office. The nature of the cases absolutely preclude the possibility of securing evidence, as few men will consent to make an information at the risk of losing their own characters. So that while the police have more than a suspicion as to the existence of a widespread scheme of blackmailing, specific evidence is entirely out of their reach. The Depart ment of Public Safety has been long cog nizant of the condition of affairs in Law renceville, but has been unable to move in the matter. Frank McCall, brother of "Keddy" Mc Call, who was arrested -yesterday morning as he was going from his home on the Twenty-eighth street hill to work in Ham ilton's glasshouse, was removed from the Twelfth to the Nineteenth ward station by order of Inspector Whitehouse yesterday afternoon. He is alleged to have been one of the Bauder gang, and is charged with conspiracy before Magistrate Hyndman. The specific charge against him is that he and two others entered a charge of con ducting a speak-easy against David Turner, of Troy Hill, and afterward settled the case for $67. He will be kept there until Mon day afternoon at 3 o'clock, when Aldermen Callen and Doughty, James McCall and Lewis Betz will have a hearing before Al derman Hyndman. Inspector Whitehouse said Alderman Maneese and George Bracket are yet to be arrested. The Alder man is not at home at present, and Bracket has sought the wilds of West Virginia. SPEAE-EASIE3 IN BACKWOODS. The Operator of One Sent to Pittsburc From West Virginia. John Joseph Putnam, a resident of Greene county, Pennsylvania, near the line of West Virginia, was lodged in jail here yesterday, for trial in the United States District Court on a charge of selling liquor without a Government license. Putnam was arrested just across the line, in West Virginia by United States Marshal White. An order for his removal to Pitts burg for trial here was made by the District Court of West Virginia, and Marshal White arrived with him yesterday afternoon. THE WESTERN UNIVERSITY.
