H. y THE PITTSBUEG DISPATCH, MQNDAT? SEPTEMBER sT2, 7X1889. ?" K ,4 i t t i t 9J4 M'CJILL JS DEFIED. Constables Bewildered Be tween Dnty and Policy, BUT WILL BEPOET AK YHO W The Kumber of Speak-Easies in the Eeturns Will be Small. THEY DECLIKE TO ACT AS SNES, And Add That There is Keither Money Kor Honor in the Position. HOW SPEAK-EASI 0 WXEES AEE CAUGHT After the 36 constables of Pittsburg had repeated their "Now I lay me" last night, their next prayer was: "Prom the judges aud District Attorney to-morrow, good lard, deliver us." To-d3y being the first of Quarter Sessions, they are expected to make the quarterly returns required by law on the number of persons in their wards or townships who sell liquor without license. Special Agent MiCall has been after the constables with a hot Mick, and some strange revelations are expected. The com mon belief, sustained by the statements of police and others who ought to know, is that there are over 500 speak-easies in active operation in the city. This will give an average of nearly 14 violators of the license laws to each constable, which he must in clude in his return. An Alderman, who seemed to be thor oughly posted in hat to expect, said last night that no such average would be made, although it could be increased if so great a numberof speak-easies were not "protected." He added: "How can a constable be expected to in vestigate such matters in a manner to secure conviction at the munificent recompense of 7 20 per annum. They get 1 80 lor each return, and no more, whether they have eight or 80 places where liquor is ille gally sold to report. The constable cannot report such places unless he actually knows that they come within the meaning of the license law, and it would take a good many times 1 SO to investigate the matter satisfactorily to the constable and the court, i. e., to buy a drink and swear to it, pro Tiding witnesses. A QUESTION OF POLITICS. "Take into consideration the iact that the man who interferes with his neighbors and residents of his own ward, where he has been elected and before whom he may come again for public indorsement, has but little chance of getting it, and the apathy of the constable may be expected, if not ex plained." If the fact that this is Labor Day does not interfere a large and very much interested audience is expected at the opening of the courts to-day to hear the returns made to the Judges, and it was pleasantly suggested by a coustable last night that by closing the courtroom doors and arresting the whole audience a larger haul of speak-easy pro prietors would be made in one hour than by raiding their places for a month. Every on ner of these places of illegal refreshment will be present who can be, to ascertain whether his or her name is on the list, and the questions of the District Attorney! based on information he has already received, are expected to be more searching than pleas ant. A number of constables were seen last night and the majority refused to give any indication of hat their report would be or how many they would return. The con stable of the First ward has not yet returned from camp, so no report irom there can be looked lor. The Second ward will show up a few places, but not by any means the number which do business without the formality of taking out a license. The Third ward constable could not be found, although several places where men went in looking thirsty and came out looking tired were visible. Constable John D. Carney, of the Sixth ward, said he would report some places in his return. "When questioned how many he refused to state, but said he would report any person violating the low knowingly if it we're bis own brother. He admitted that the number to be reported was small, but as the.Sixth is a well-known temperance ward, this is not surprising. UOT AFEAID OF M'CALL. The Fourth ward constable states that there are no speak-easies in his ward. Pat rick Connelly, of the N inth ward, has no returns to make either. He said: We hear a good deal of newspaper talk about R. S. P. McCa.ll: and it all he amrms is true, whv doesn't he inform the ward constable where and when liquor was sold? These idle threats of prosecution we do not pay any attention to. It is quite posMblc that a number of persons leep speak-easies in my district. In deed 1 believe they do, but whenever I co into any of these houses you mav be cer tain no beer is being sold. A man may have his house packed -nith beer; there is no law to prevent him. We could not arrest him for hav ing it in his house, except he is caught selling it. It need hardly he said that every person who keeps a speak-easy knows the ward con stable, and are on the watch for his movements. This makes it extremely difficult for us to gain anv accurate information about them. Do people suppose a ward constable can thoroughly investigate the ward and give a mi nute and exhaustive return of these places and neglect what is much more profitable? Had the fatate Legislature passed the bill to pay ward constables a fair remuneration every month they would feel like working. HE IS OUT FOR THE STUrF. I take no notice of McCall's threat, andl will pursue in the future the same course as in the past, attending to the profitable portion of busi ness and giving the other as much time as I can. I am perfectly aware wc take an oath to report all the speak-easies, but e do not spend our time in hunting them up. If anybody blows or a speak-easy let him come and make information and we Mill soon arrest them. Constable Packer, of the Fifteenth ward, said: I have not made out my return yet, hut so far as I can see there are five case to report. The most of the speak-easy business is done on Sunday -r:d I don't work on that dav. A con stable has as much right to the Sabbath rest as anybody est I am not a Law and Order de tective and I do not propose to stooo to anv measures that will require me to hunt around back alleys an Sunday. As to Agent McCalL all that 1 have to say about him is that we take no notice of him. Miles England, the Seventeenth ward constable, said he will report two. A POPULATED EIVEE, Bow the Bora Disported Themselves in the Dlononsafaela Vesierilajr. yesterday afternoon, while the mercury was panting in its efforts to climb over the 90 mark, the scene between the Panhandle and Smithfield street bridges was particu larly lively. The river is lower than it has been for years and every little island of river mud and gravel was converted into a wardrobe resembling a second-hand cloth ing store, while knee deep in the water were hundreds of boys clothed in enthusiasm and stone bruises. It was a sight very rarely witnessed in the Honongahela river. Beneath the iron trestle workabaseball game was in progress, about 2 P. sl, breaking the decalogue, tfo Jaw of 1794 and the shoes of the players, the latter having been remonstrated trith for the last offense, if not Jbr the others ere this through the medium of a shingle. Tbey were all youngjbovs. and enjoyed themselves thoroughly, as did a good many spectators from the bridge, ' SO GERMAN, YOU KK0W. A Ilnmbnre Citizen Writes for the Nnmcs of Amritcnn Gcnlrv Member of tho Aristocracy Preferred. It was with no little trepidation that Postmaster Larkin opened, yesterday, a bulky package, postmarked Hamburg, and addressed "To Mr. The Postmaster at Pittsburg," anticipating some information as to the succession in his office, of which he has had a great deal from equally re liable sources, or some other communications of dire moment Mr. Larkin carefully undid the wrapper with a view to the avoid ance of dynamite experiments, aud was as tonished as much at the liberality of the correspondent as at the oddity of his request. The correspondent avoids all superfluous fieumanship by printing at the top of the etter "Date o'f poststamp," referring the reader to the envelope lor information when the circular was sent. The circular then asksalistoi"200ioS00"of both parties,, of the gentry and those known to be well-to-do." It cuts a pretty wide swathe into the population when enumerating the classes wished to be reached, starting with Govern ment officials, then the aristocracy and end ing with lessees. Three sheets, to contain 100 names each, are enclosed, which are ruled and scheduled for the classes, occupa tion, name, residence and postoffice in fair commercial printing style. The remuner ation promised for forwarding the uames is 1 shilling and 6 pence per 100, a rather low valuation for the aristocracy, Government officials and gentry of Pittsburg. An index hand points to a postscript which suggests that a printed list of voters and their addresses would be acceptable, and shows a covert design upon the ballot box of the country to which the suggestions of getting people of both parties is but a flimsy cloak, and, in the light of Sir Lionel Sackville West's advice to a voter, won't wash. The circular concludes: "Intheex pectation of jour acquiescence to this pro posal, and tendering you my readiness to reciprocity, I remain your obedient servant, X. Laudau." Postmaster Larkin was puzzled to know what the names were wanted for, as no hint to the object is found in the circular. He thoueht it might be an effort to introduce a new lottery scheme to the attention of the Pittsburg "nobility, aristocracy. Government officials, etc. As one of the latter class, he did not think he would avail himself of the opportunity to earn 4 shillings and 6 pence, or about SI 10, by getting up a local hign toned directory or blue book, and handed the missive over to a reporter as the best means of disseminating information, whether at homo or abroad. The difficulty now to be me was not what to send, but, as in any first-class newspaper office, what to leave out. The question of forwarding a copyof the city directory to 31. Landau presented itself, as with a liberality much wider than that of the election laws, lie specifies no sex in the names to be sent. Then the voters' lists of the various wards were thought of, but dismissed on the grounds ol the final clause in the circular which assures the sender of readiness to re ciprocity, and who would want a voters' list of the First and Fifth wards of Hamburg? As a compromise, and to do the least harm the greatest number Mr. Landau was mailed a copy of the delinquent tax list. A GOOD DAI'S WORK. JodEO McKenna Disposed of 32 Cases in tlio Twelfth Wnrd. At the Twelfth ward station house 32 cases were disposed of. Three raids were responsible for the large number. Lieuten ant Teeters had complete supervision of the raids. The house of Miss Jeunie Houston, on Liberty street, near Eleventh, wasraided Saturday night as a disorderly one. Eight persons were captured, all of whom paid S5 and costs each and Miss Houston paid 525. The house of Mrs. Mary McMahon was raided early yesterday morning as disor derly likewise. It is situated on Penn ave nue, between Twenty-eighth and Twenty ninth streets, and five men and two women were arrested. It is said the house was run on the "speak-easy" principle Mrs. McMahon is a very old lady ana quite poor. She pleaded with Magistrate Mc Kenna, and was let off without the payment of a fine, although those who were in the house had to put up 55 and costs each. Kirk Fields' house, on Mulberry alley near Twenty-eighth street, was raided as a gambling house. Eight persons w ere.caught playing "craps," and had to pay 5 apiece. The proprietor was fined ?25. The other cases were of the disorderly nature, several of whom were also fined. At the Seventeenth ward police station Magistrate Bnuh disposed of five cases none ot which were important TWO LITTLE WAIFS. The? Travel All the Waj From Muscatine. Iowa, to This City. Officer Jacob Snyder, of Allegheny, picked uo two waifs at the Pittsburg and Western Railroad depot yesterday, who had traveled alone from Buffalo, a small station, near Muscatine, la. Tue children are James and May Palmer, aged 10 and 6 years respectively. They came into the depot at 10 o'clock. They told the officer that they had been sent here from Buffalo to find their mother. The lat ter had left them with a Miss Bacon about six weeks ago, and had come here to find her husband, who had deserted them about six months ago. Not hearing from theirmother. Miss Bacon got tired of caring for the children, and sent them to search for their mother. They had left home Friday night, and had not had anything to cat all day. The officer took them into a restaurant, and bought them their suppers. They will be disposed of by the Mayor this morning. WILLIAM THAW EULOGIZED. His Lifework HI a do the Snbject of nn In teresting Sermon. Bev. C. E. Locke's discourse in the Smith field M. E. Church last night was on "Thoughts Suggested by the Death of a Great Benefactor." The idea conveyed was that the hundreds of beneficiaries who had felt or now needed the blessings showered through the late Mr. Thaw's open-hearted generositv had now no one to look to. "Mr. Thaw is gone, and to whom are the suffering and the poor to look?" he said. "Have you heard of anyone offering to take William Thaw's place as a benefactor? I think the Lord has delegated to many the work heretofore done by one man." Here Mr. Locke related several incidents of Mr. Thaw's career, showing bis thought iulness and kindness, and said the Chris tian religion is the only law of morals that could produce a man like William Thaw. Infidelity has no representative like Will iam Thaw. RECKLESS DRIVING. A Voang Lady Severely Injured at Soho and the Driver Arrested.

LYON'S LAST EEP0ET. The District Attorney Drops Foreign Glassblowers Case. the ALL EVIDENCE HAS BEEN SENT IN. He Asks That the Snit t3 Tamed Over to Special Agent Layton. THE MEN AT JE ANNETTE AEE WATCHED District Attorney "Walter Lyon yesterday mailed his last report to the Treasury De partment at Washington about the imported window glass workers at Jeannette. The report is an answer to the request of the de partment, asking him to say, in his opinion, who he thought brought the glassworkers on to this country. In his first report Sir, Lyon stated that the men had beembrought here under an implied contract, and recom mended that they be sent back to Europe. The officers of the department were nofsat- fied with this and wanted to know who brought them over. From the evidence in his possession the District Attorney could not fully answer this question, and in his last letter, which is now in Washington, he so states. He replies briefly that he could not ascertain who brought the men to this country, and had already submitted all the evidence he could get. What will be done now nobody can tell. Some persons think the depart ment will drop the matter on account of in sufficient evidence to prosecute the violators of the law. The law, they claim, is also defective, and there is no way of sending the men back to their homes. The District Attorney also recommends that the case now be turned over to Special Agent E. D. Layton, of this city. Mr. Lyon has done everything he could in the line of dutv in the matter, and by so doing bad to neglect other official matters. Since he took hold of the case the special agent, wno is commonly kduwu us Amujigrau. .in spector, has been appointed, and it should be turned over to him. The latter is Mr. Layton, whose business it is to investigate alleged violations of the alien contract labor law. He was called in to consult, by Mr. Lyon, but in his official capacity the special agent has done nothing in the case. His friends state that "Bob" does not hanker after the case on account of its being so near home, bnt in the few months he has been in office he has made a record for efficiency. If the department turns it over to him he will likely push it to a speedy settlement, one way or the other. The men who were brought over are still at Jeannette. Those who are prosecuting the case are keeping watch upon them to see that none ot them leave the place. LABOR MEN TO DEBATE. All Employers Are Invited to Discuss tbo Eight-Hour Question.

"There are great preparations for another big flood in Pittsburg," said one of the best known civil engineers of Allegheny county, who has formerly held an official position, as he crossed the Smithfield street bridge yesterday. Being asked what he meant he proceeded to point out the encroachments gradually, but surely being made upon the rivers by the various railroads.. "See," said he, "the LakeEriehas gained ground for twcTtracks in a few years, and if it keeps on will soon have a freight yard manufactured from the earth of its own cut tings, which is a profitable way of dump ing. When the Junction road gets its work in piles and trestles they will soon be filled in aud made solid embankments. "Look at the Pittsburg and Western. It is doing the same work on the Alleghenv. .Now, should -such a flood arise as came in 1884, the hack-waters in tne sewers would fill every cellar in the lower part of the city. It filled them Up to Fifth avenue that year when both rivers were less impeded and much wider than they are now. The railroads seem to have a way vf asserting eminent domain over both land,and water which will prove injurious to the tax. payers' interests if not checked in some way." CBNTBAL'S GEIST. Tho Sunday Batch of Prisoners Was Un- usually Small. For a Sucday morning the attendance at the Central station hearings was verv light yesterday, there being only one workhouse case and eight cases all told. Edward Smith was the workhouse victim.

He got 30 days. James B. Houston was fined $20 and costs for assaulting a couple of the inmates of Ho. 87 Third avenue without provocation. , Emma Hess and Jennie Laurel, who had been arrested for fighting at a house on First avenue, failed to appear at the hear ing, and each forfeited $30 put up for their release. The balance of the cases, common drunks and disorderlies, were given light sentences. THIS IS QUEER. A Man Jumps Into tho River, nnd Doesn't Try to Save Himself. Yesterday afternoon John Seibert walked down to the river bank on West Carson street, near the Point bridge, and jumped from a coal barge into the water. Several men witnessed the proceeding, and seeing that the man made no effort to keep from drowning, put out in a skiff and rescued him. Officers Johnston and Shaffer were attracted to the scene, but Seibert pleaded with the men in the boat not to deliver him to the police, so he was rowed up the river a distance and then landed. Subsequently he was captured by the officers near his home in Limerick and sent to the station house. Seibert is a married man, 25 years old, and by trade a puddler in J. Painter & Son's mill. No cause is given for his sus pected attempt at suicide. The police be lieve he was intoxicated. AT THE WEST PENN. Sick Pcoplo Entertained With Songs and a Livclr Sermon.

A Dead Bnby Found by William Gaul on the Allegheny Shore. . Yesterday morning a boy named William Gaul found the dead body of a female in fant lying on the Allegheny river shore at the foot of Forty-third street. He notified the police, and the remains were taken to the Seventeenth Ward station house, hut afterward were removed to the morgue. The child is large and fully developed, but seems to have had no attention since its birth, and was devoid of clothing. The body is covered with bruises, and the child had evidently not been born over a day before its dead body was found. There is no clew to its parentage, and the Coroner will investigate to-day.

The Heads of 87 lombers Fall Into the Basket for ifot Taying Op. KICKERS MOST PAY A FINE OF $100 The Union Determined to Weed Out the Discordant Member. PRESENT OFFICERS EE-N0MINATED The Musicians' Mutual Protective Union yesterday took another step for the suppres sion of members who play with non-union, bands. A severe penalty will be put upon this practice, and it Is to be made worse if any member of tfie-union plays withan ex pelled member. Eighty-seven members have been dropped for non-payment of dues and other causes. This, the officers claim, does not look as if the union was on its last legs, and was about to disband. The regular quarterly meeting of the union was held yesterday afternoon in New Turner Hall, on Forbes street. President Buhe occupied the chair. The President reported what had been done at the meeting of the National League in Philadelphia, which he had attended. He, also made a report of his interview with the general offi cers of the Knights of Labor in regard to the organization of the Great Western Band into the order. The details of this were pub lished in The Dispatch of Friday last. General Secretary Hayes and Executive Wright will be in the city on the 17th to investigate the trouble. A SALTY FEE IMPOSED. The Committee on Revision of By-laws reported the following: ' That when a member of this union resigns to play with non-union musicians, should he apply for reinstatement in the union, he shall pay an initiation fee of $50. Wheti a-member' plays I with expelled members and is dropped from the rolls, should he apply for reinstatement, he shall pay an initiation fee of 8100. By the above legislation it is expected that the practice of members playing with non-union bands shall be prevented. Here tofore when a member played with a non union band he was tried, and if the evidence was positive he was fined 10. This was generally paid by the persons who employed him. After the fine was paid the member was placed in good standing, and when oc casion offered some of them repeated the offense. For playing with expelled mem bers the fine was $15. A member of one of the theater orchestras violated this rule and was fined. PKOMPT ACTION TAKEN. The Board of Directors suspended 87 members for non-payment of dues. This leaves about 340 members "still in the.union. No official action was taken yesterday about the Great Western Band-Exposition trouble. The matter was discussed by the members, but as it is in the hands of a com mittee of the Trades Council, the union concluded not to act upon it. As yet no answer has been received by the committee as to what the Exposition Society intends to do. At the meeting new officers were nomi nated to be elected the first Sunday in De cember. The following named present officers were commuted: For President, C. H.JWilliam Buhe; Vice President, M. J. Corrigan; Secretary, John McCloskey; Treasurer, Louis P. Yeager. THE COMMISSION'S CIRCULAR, They Want Donors to be Assured the Money is Distributed. The Flood Belief Commission has issued its third bulletin to the "donors of the flood relief fund." The circular contains nothing more than what has been published in The Dispatch from time to time since the last meeting of the commission at Johnstown. Reference is made to the death of Judge Cummin. The circular states that the commission desires to assure the donors of the fund that "the best industry, intelligence and energy at command have been applied to the discharge of their great trust" No allusion is made to the $125,000 which the commission owes the Pittsburg com mittee. ' THE GAISG ESCAPED, But Some Fell on Poor miles Klrby and Broke His Leg. Officer Johnson stopped a game of poker in a hayloft on West Carson street yester day. A dozen young men were in the loft. When Johnson's genial features were per ceived in the doorway, the whole company became desirous to give a man of his author ity as much elbow room as possible, and one and all jumped out of the window. One man named Miles Kirby had his leg brokon, having been jumped on by other gentlemen. He was taken to his home on West Carson street. LOCAL ITEMS. LIMITED.

CatBolIc Clergymen Advise Parents to, Giro' Their Children n Religious Education Tbo Sclieols Open To-Day. The pastors of the dfierent Catholio rnurcnes throughout tne city yesterday ae, livered sbon talks to parents on the neces sity of sending their children to the paro chial school!!. None of them attacked,' tho public schools or referred to them bat slightly. The parochial schools open to morrow, and for this reason the clergy spoke on the subject. At St. Paul's Cathedral, Bev. Father Wall. D.D., rector of the church, preached at the 9 o'clock mass. After reading the names of additional contributors to the fund for the decoration and beautificatiouof the interior of the church, he began his talk on parochial School!. While the subject was an .0'a.Sr-J!!r! 1J be desired to impress upon the minds ot parents the importance and absolute neces sity of sending their children to the Catholic schools. Hete they would be given, not only a knowledge of worldly affairs, but the, principles of their religion would be incul cated into their young minds. This knowl edge of Christianity they could' not get, unless they went to the parochial schools, where the life of Christ is paramount, and the Temple of the Holy Ghost is built with in their breasts. He said the Church was here to see that the children got proper instruction in their religion, and this knowledge must be ob tained to lead upright and noble lives. If parents will give, their children a religious education at home it will,suffice, provided that the education is of the proper kind. Parents have raised the point, saying that they could give the children all the religious training required, hut they do not do so. The Church would be satisfied to have the children receive instruction from their parents, but past experience shows that the parents neglect this duty. Catholic chil dren, he said, whodo not go to the parochial schools only hear the word of God when they are sent to mass or Sunday .school. This is not sufficient, and parents must awaken to the fact that they must send their chil dren to have their minds trained in a re ligious channel. All the parochial schools will be opened to-morrow. The principal Catholic schools in this city are St, Paul's boys' school, on Cherry alley, the girls' school on Webster street," St. Mary's Academy, on Chatham street and the Holy Ghost College, for boys, on Bluff street. In addition to these, a new select school for children will be opened by the Sisters" of Mercy in the new convent building on Webster street. The free schools nave been renovated and extensively repaired during the summer.

Xtalked to.Dr. StUMH about ray idea, md he thought I was right August was a. peculiar month. The days were warm 'and the nights eoeL' Last Fri-( day, for examplethe temperature was 88 during the day and 69'at night. s "People retiring covered themselves with light clothing, and of course during the night would become chilled. Now tfck. wpuld have the effect to close up the pores through which most of the effete matter Ja the system is thrown off. The internal heat, would naturally increase, and if thissort of thing was kept up for a few days would finally result in a fever, as typhoid, for in stance, among others. THE TEltPEEArUBE LOW. "August, as a whole, was a little colder than the average. The temperature for the month was 70, just two degrees pVr. day below the nominal. The 'great est heat attained was 88 on Saturday; the lowest 52 degrees, on the 16th. It was do wn to 46 degrees one day in August of 1887, and this is the lo west ten record since this station was opened 'in 1870. No matter, you see. what can be said'of the weather, it hardly ever beats its own record. The highest temperature for any August was 100 degrees, in 1881. The August of 1883 was the only one colder than last month. . "August also was an exceptionally dry month, the rainfall being 1.88 inches, or 1.41 inches below the average. Last August it rained 7.26 inches. There have been two Augusts in which less rain fell. The phenomenal record of 1881 was .88 inches, and 1.29 inches came down in 1878. The total rainfall for the first eight months of the year is 28.76 inches, or 3.23 inches above the average, so that we have not tared badly for water; in fact, we have bad too much, auu n was uesirucuve to me ana property. "For the last 17 years the normal fall of water has been 25.53 inches for the first eight months. During August it rained only on five days. SEPTEMBER TO BE "WABM. "From present indications, September promises to be a dry, warm month. The temperature to-day is 90, higher than at any time in August. There has been also very little wind. For the past week the weather has been exceedingly warm in the Missis sippi Valley, and cool in the East and along the lakes. The crops have not been affected by theory weather, because they were ma tured before the dry spell came." The temperature is measured by a little instrument called the thermograph. It consists of a large cylinder with a sheet of paper wrapped around it and the degrees marked on the paper. The cylinder is turned by a simple piece of clock" mechan ism. A band with a sham point is at tached to a thermometer made out of plat inum and alcohol, and as it expands and contracts the band makes a line on the1 paper as the cylinder revolves. One revolu tion is made in a week and the irregular line shows the variations in temperature. The apparatus is placed on the roof oi the Schmidt & Friday bnilding and neatly en cased in a wooden house. Special Opening Imported Dress Goods To.Dnj. You are expected to come in and see them.
