How Mr. Herrington Came
Without Papers from Ohio. '
THE BABBS CASE BEGINS.
Hearing Postponed Until Farther
Evidence is Secured.
BABBS RELEASED ON $3,000 BAIL.
Marj Sullivan Had an Affecting Interview
With Her Mother.
SHE HANKERS TO SMOKE CIGAEETTES
Perhaps the most amusing feature, if not
the only one in connection with the Scott
dale case, was the arrest of Walter Herring
ton yesterdav by Detective Phil Demrael.
The detective had been chasing his man to
and fro for three days without catching up,
but leaving a good description with the
Youngstown police and instructions how to
act, he started for Sew Castle on Friday
afternoon. Herrington's friends kept him
posted, and of course he headed at once for
Youngstown, where he was arrested upon
his arrival by the Ohio officers. He entered
several protests, but was locked up.
Demmel changed his train and starting
back to Youngstown arrived soon after his
quarry. Harrington showed fight and said
he would not leave the State of Ohio unless
the proper papers were procured. Demmel
tried to persuade him to forego the formality
bo as to save time, but in vain, although
shown that it was only a question of a day
or two when he would be compelled to re
turn. Phil Demmel was at his wits' end
when with a clang and a rush of gamins
laughing and shouting, the Youngstown
patrol wagon turned the corner. In it was
a Hungarian prisoner howling drunk and
most belligerently inclined.
MIL'S BRIGHT IDEA WORKED.
A bright thought struck Phil. He turned
to the Chief of Police and said: "Put that
lellow in the cell with Herrington." It was
done, and, although the baseballist protest
ed, the demonstrative Hungarian was given
him for a room mate. The Hungarian rather
took a fancy to his companion, and, instead
of fighting, began to caress him, which was
even more repugnant to his feelings than
hostilities would have proved.
After ten minutes Demmel sent an officer
in to say that he was starting back to Penn
sylvania for the necessary extradition papers,
when Herrington begged as a lavortogo
also rather than stand another hour of the
Hungarian's society. Demmel took his
man, and had him in Pittsburg in time for
the hearing yesterday afternoon.
At 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon Magis
trate McKenna ascended the judgment seat
t hear (he case of Frank Hill, Florence
Donaldson, Laura Bailey, "Walter Harring
ton, Jacob A. Babbs and Minnie Fleming
multifariously charged with the misusing of
May Sullivan, nfScottdale. The crowd was
a composite one, being made up of all
classes of people, lrom grave to gay, among
which were three lawyers.
THE1AWTERS CONSULTED.
It was soon evident that there wouldn't
be any hearing, as the lawyers were pow
wowing, and some of the people in interest
wanted to catch the first train to McKees
port to be in time to see the boat race, and it
was finally announced that the case would
be continued until next Wednesday after
noon at 4 o'clock, when some witnesses, said
tc be important and non est yesterday, are
expected to be on hand.
Laura Bailey and Florence Donaldson
furnished bail in 51,000 each. Daniel "Wei
gold becoming their bondsman. Minnie
Fleming was bailed by her father, George
Shnpe, of Scottdale, for 1,000. Babbs not
being allowed to give bail before the alder
man was taken into court, and there en
tered bail in 53,000, "W. N. Porter bonds
man. Hill and Harrington were unable to
lurnish bail and were committed.
HE MADE BABBS SQTJIBM.
The manner in which District Attorney
Porter drew ont Babb's, the jeweler, yester
day, was somewhat entertaining to all but
the witness. He acknowledged being on
the bonds of the postmaster. Collector and
four or five other "bonded officials of Scott
dale, in all to the amount of 530,000 or $40,
000, while he had not over SO per cent of
that amount in real property.
Mr. and Mrs. Sullivan visited their daugh
ter in the Central station yesterday, and a
most affecting scene followed. The mother
was almost heartbroken, most of all to say
that she was afraid the child's fall was due
to one to whom she ought to have been most
sacred.
As a further evidence of how seemingly
hopeless the case of May Sullivan is,Matron
Breunen stated last night that she has com
menced to smoke cigarettes. After the trial
she will most probably be sent to Morganza.
0PEMNG THE CAMPAIGN.
Finances Will RecelTo Attention From Re
publican Lenders at To-Daj's Meetlog;.
Notices have been circulated calling at
tention to the meeting of the Finance Com
mittee of the Allegheny County Republican
Executive Committee, which will take place
at 130 P. M. to-dar. This is the first
formal meeting since the designation of this
committee, and some curiosity exists as to
which members are the lolks and which are
the people.
For the above reason a full turnout is an
ticipated, and a considerable element of life
may eitter into the proceedings. The cir
cular notice states that "business of the ut
most importance is to come up tor considera
tion." THAT REFINERY. CAbE.

SOME VALUABLE POINTERS.
Dr. English Shows HovrCnhle Can and
Electric Lights Improve the Health A
Paper on City Hygiene.
In enumerating "some of the hygienic ad
vantages of modern city buildings, with
special reference to the respiratory Organs,"
in a paper read before the State Sanitary
Convention, Dr. "W. T. English says among
other things that a casual view of our
streets, alleys and courts reveals an advance
in street paving, Belgian block substituted
for cobble stones on the streets and concrete
or asphalt on alleys and courts.
He quotes Rudolph Hering, who says
that one horse can draw as much weight on
an asphalt pavement as would require two
horses on Belgian block and seven and four
fifth horses on cobble stone. Township
Koad Supervisors ought to hunt up the
authorities, and "when found make a note
on't," but Dr. English is more concerned
with the subject in a sanitary view. He
urges the Belgian block and asphalt on ac
count of hygienic considerations. Streets
so paved are more easily cleansed. The air
contamination is reduced, dust decreased
and the streets are largely cleansed by
rainfall.
Dr. English also finds that cable and
electric railways in Pittsburg and Alle
gheny, when completed, will remove 4,000
horses from the streets, and the absence of
offal incident to such a herd of animals, ex
halations of effluvia, dust, gas and odors in
numerable constitute only a small portion
of the benefits.
On the reduction of oxygen waste by
the use of electric lights instead ot
gas, the doctor finds that the 10,000
street lamps of Pittsburg and Allegheny
represent an oxygen waste that would
supply a city of 35,000 or 40,000 inhabitants,
and the grand total ot oxygen waste saved
indoors and outdoors or streets, in business
houses and printing offices, factories, etc.,
by electric lighting in these two cities, he
finds enough to supply a city of 115,000
people.
He quotes from Dr. Haller and Kriell, of
Germany, to prove that inhalation of super
heated air is destructive of bacilli, and
finds that the use of natural gas in baking
the air of public assembly rooms, after the
departure of the audience, is valuable for
the destruction ot micro-organisms and the
rendering of the air aseptic, after which the
temperature may be permitted to decline to
its wonted place.
He indorses the proposition that in all
cities there should be provided homes, or
hospitals, lor consumptives when deemed
advisable the rooms could be heated beyond
the temperature of 105 degrees Fahrenheit,
at which bacilli perish, and when thought
necessary the patient could be advised to
inhale for some time the air at the same alti
tude which wonld render the lungs aseptic.
In 1883 the relative death rate in Pitts
burg lrom consumption was nearly 12 per
cent. In five years preceding 1889 it never
reached more than the average of 9.96 per
cent
On the whole Dr. English believes that
with cleanliness, electric lighting, etc., the
cities are improving in both physical and
mental health, and that Farr's law of
density, which assumes that "The nearer
men live to each other the shorter their
lives, may be reversed by statistics of future
cities. It is in large cities that the greatest
progress has been made in hygienic require
ments, and in small cities the proportionate
death rate is the largest. ,
THE ROD UKRESTRAIXED.
A School Marin Is Alleged to Have Whipped
a Boy Bratnlly.
Yesterday afternoon George Pottleson,
aged 8 years, was taken to the office of the
Anti-Cruelty Society by his parents, who
live in Noblestown, on the Panhandle road.
The parents complained that a school teacher
named Lizzie Clark had badly abused the
boy, and alleged that she had beaten him
with a rattan upon the back and legs and
also over the face. Great welts were raised all
down the child's back and on his forehead
and cheeks.
One of the School Board, a Dr. Taylor, is
alleged to have taken on himself the in
vestigation of the boy's behavior. The
whipping was given the boy three days ago,
because he denied throwing a dog over the
banisters at the school. Superintendent
Dean will take the case in hands at once.
TWO FATAL ACCIDENTS.
A Millwright at Spanc's and a Child Tn
atnntly Killed.
Joseph Zacharias, millwright at Spang's
mill, in Etna, was struck by a passenger
train yesterday and killed, while attempting
to cross the track. He was 40 years old and
leaves a widow and several children.
Mary Sobilski, a Polish child, was play
ing on Penn avenue, in front of Moses
Brown's store. Brown put his connter on
the curbstone, and all the children climbed
upon it. "While a number of them were on
top, the counter upset and Mary's head was
caught between the heavy woodwork and
road. She died in a few minutes.
HITHER AND THITHER.
Movements of PIttsbnrgers and Others ol
Wide Acquaintance.
Bishop Fowler, of the M. E. Church,
passed through the city last night on his way
home, to San Francisco. He is the head of the
church in the extreme West, and has charge of
all the territory on the Pacific Slope. Bishop
Fowler has jnst returned fram a trip to China
and Japan, where he went over all the missions
of the church in those countries. He saw all
the missions established by the Protestant
churches there are in a flourishing condition
and doing good work among tbe natives. The
latter are rapidly being converted to Christian
ity, and churches are being built wherever
missions have been established. He says
China is not a heathen country, and to prove
this he cited a number of cases in towns where
there were 20,000 applicants for one literary
prize. Hesajs tbe natural resources of tbe
country aro fast being developed, although
mechanical innovations are looked upon with
suspicion. He predicts a great slauchter and a
war upon Americans at -no very distant day.
The cause, of this is tbe treatment the Chinese
have been receiving in this country. He says
China never forgives nor forgets, and the
masses there are laying up their wrath, which
will soon be felt.
Torrance C. Hippie, of Lock Haven.Pa.,
Bight Eminent Grand Commander of the Penn
sylvania Masonic Fraternity, Las done the most
sensible thing in his life. He has written to
James S. McKean a letter In which Pittsbure
Commandery No. 1 has been 'designated as es
cort to tbe Bight Eminent Grand Commander"
of Pennsylvania, at the triennial conclave on
October 8 in Washington, D. C. A Pittsburg
commandery has never yet bagged this dis
tinguished honor, but James S. .McKean, who
generally gets what he goes after, succeeded in
overcoming the usual predilection toward a
Philadelphia commandery. No. 1 will make a
magnificent display with no less than 200 good
men and true in line. No. 1 wears a large and
brilliant feather in its can as a consequence of
beinc awarded the pesition of honor in the con
clave parade.
Kev. D. Nichols, a former Pittsbnrger,
but now a resident of Ida Grove, Iowa, passed
through the city last evening onhis way home
from Gettysburg. Mr. Nichols was a member
of Knapp's Battery in this city, and removed
West some years ago. Since then bo has been
a United Presbyterian minister and a
member of the State Legislature. He left
active ministerial work for tbe life of a farmer,
and is now taking things easy." In speaking
of the Corporal Tanner resignation, he stated
there was much dissatisfaction expressed
among the vets" at Gettysburg about the
matter.
Senator Manderson, of Minnesota, was
one of the sleeping passengers on board the
Limited express last night. He was going home
from the East.
W. M. Clark, Commercial Agent of the
Missouri Parific Railroad in this city, left last
evening for New York. x
Hon. James E. Pngh, of Somerset, was
in tbe city yesterday.

A MERITED MEMORIAL
The Masonic Brethren of Getor C.
Shidle Will Honor His Memory
IN A VERY SUBSTANTIAL MANNER.
"Various Lodges Have Been Appealed to for
Contributions.
HIS STERLIKG WORTH RECOGNIZED
The enduring character ot the Masonic
work done by the late Geter 0. Shidle dur
ing his lifetime leads to its proper perpetua
tion at the hands of the Masonic fraternity
of "Western Pennsylvania. For years Mr.
Shidle's keen interest in and great
familiarity with all branches of Masonic
progress made him an important factor,
not only in the growth of the order, but in
the scope of its extension in fields of
abstruse lore. Aside from his Masonic
achievements, Mr. Shidle's personality en
deared him especially to his brethren of the
level and square.
A circular has recently been issued indi
cating that there is a strong desire to impart
tangible shape to a memorial of Mr.
Shidle's worth as a man and a Mason.
What form the memorial will assume has
not yet been decided upon, but it will be
undoubtedly something of a Masonic
nature. The appended circular explains
itself:
THE MEMORIAL COMMISSION.
PrrrsBUBQ, August 1, 18S9.
To the Members or the Masonic Fraternity in
Western l'ennsylvanla:
Brethren At ameeting composed of mem
bers of the different lodges in this vicinity,
held in Freemasons' Hall, June 12, 1889, for the
purpose of considering the propriety of secur
ing a suitable memorial of our late D. D. G. M.,
Brother Geter C. Shidle, Brother Stephen C.
McCandless was called upon to preside, and
Brother John E Haines acted as Secretary,
members being present from 19 lodges. After
a thorough discussion of the subject, the fol
lowing resolution was unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That a commission of seven Master
Masons be named, to be called the "Geter C.
Shidle Memorial Commission," who -Shall be
directed to communicate with tbe masters of
each lodge in Western Pennsylvania, asking
that a popular individual subscription oi si
each be taken, with a view of procuring a
memorial of our late brother, to be placed in
new Freemason's Hall, Pittsburg, or such other
place as the commission may determine; and
that said commission shall have full control nf
such subscriptions and their disposition.
Before tlnal action be taken, said commission
to report tbe result of such subscriptions at a
general meeting to be held at tbe call of the
chairman of this meeting, of which duo notice
shall be given each lodge which may respond
with subscriptions.
Brother McCandless appointed the following
brethren to serve on said commission: Brother
Joseph Eicbbaum, Brother Charles W. Batcbe
lor. Brother Thomas J. Hudson. Brother Will
lam B. Lupton, Brother Charles C. Baer, Broth
er James S. McKean and Brother Lee S. Smith.
Tbe above named brethren met and organ
ized by the following choice of officers: Broth
er Joseph Eichbaum, President; Brother
Charles W. Batchelor, Treasurer; Brother Lee
S. Smith, Secretary.
SUBSCRIPTIONS ASKED FOR.
In compliance with tbe object for which this
commission has been created, we now ask the
secretaries of the different lodges interested,
to place this circular in the hands of each
member of their respective lodges, and request
that they make their subscriptions. direct to
their secretaries, and that he keep an accurate
list of all contributors, as it is. desired to have
a complete list by name and number of lodge,
to be deposited as a part of this testimonial
memorial.
When the secretaries have the subscriptions
of their lodges they will forward the amount
to Brother Charles W. Batchelor, treasurer,
Keystone Bank, 115 Fourth avenue, Pittsburg,
and the list of contributors to the secretary of
this commission.
To tbe members of the craft Brotter Geter
C. Shidle needs no introduction, his Masonic
work needs no praise orcommcndatlon upon'
our part; both are too well known.
By the action of the general meeting you
will see that the subscription was not left
optional as to amounts. This was done because
it was thought that all the brethren would wish
to contribute, and thus make it a memorial
from tbe entire fraternity rather than from a
lodge or a few members. And to that end the
amount was fixed at $1 for each, so that all
might be placed upon the true Masonic prin
ciple of equality.
An early reply to the Secretary of your lodge
will greatly assist in this highly commendable
work. Fraternally yours,
Joseph Eichbaum, President.
Lee S. Smith. Secretary.
In response to the above quite a sum of
money has been received, and a meeting of
the commission will shortly be held to
decide upon the character of the memorial.
A handsome sculptured wall-tablet is
mentioned among other plans, the idea
being the embellishment of Freemason's
Hall, as well as tbe paying of a tribute to
Mr. Shidle's memory.
TEARING DOWN THE STACK.
A Lightning; Rod Was Placed on It by the
Aid of n. Kite.
Jones & Laughin yesterday begun work
on the demolition of the boiler stack, in the
old department of their puddle mill in
Brownstown. The stack was one of the first
things built by the company, when they
located their small mill where the present
extensive works now stand.
The stack is built of brick, 140 feet high
and about 40 feet square at the bottom
"When it was erected, there was no provi
sion made to put a lightning rod on it.
After the scaffolding had been torn down,
this mistake was discovered and there ap
peared no way to remedy it. An enterpris
ing lightning rod agent came along, and
undertook to do the work by the aid of a
kite. He secured a large "flyer" and at
tached a light rope to it. This he ciicled
around the top ot the stack until he made
it fast. He then attached a larger rope to
the small one, and after considerable work
also got it up. Finally a block and tackle
were hoisted up and by this means, the
agent hauled himself to the top. A light
scaffolding was begnn and the rod was soon
placed in position. The stack will not be
rebuilt as the battery of boilers has been
discontinued.
AN UNNATURAL FAMILY.
The Father Heaps Coals of Fire on Their
Hcnds by Forgiveness.
Theodore Kansingman, aged 85, applied
for assistance to reach Cincinnati at the De
partment of Charities yesterday. Some five
years ago he lived in Spring Garden ave
nue, Allegheny, with his family. One day
his relatives, consisting of wife, sou,
daughter and son-in-law deserted him with
out cause or warning, and he could find no
reason for the heartless conduct. He sought
and obtained admittance to the most disin
terestedly charitable of all institutions, that
of the Little Sisters of the Poor, where he
was kindly treated.
He, however, disliked to be an object of
charity, and going out into the rural dis
trict he hired out to a farmer for SI per
week and lodging. During nearly five
years he succeeded in saving a little over as
many dollars, when lately, hearing that his
family was living in Cincinnati, he made
the application above referred to in order
to get means to see and bid his cruel and
unnatural wife and children farewell be
fore he seeks rest in death. He was given
the assistance asked.

A CHILD'S PECULIAR J)EATH.
The Case nn Extraordinary One in tho
Medical Profession Its Joints Ossified
. nnd It Ate Very Little.
Yesterday afternoon Louisa Rosina Gam
per, the 8-months-old daughter of Michael
Gamper, of No. 659 Fifth avenue, was
buried in the Allegheny Cemetery. The
child had been found dead in bed Thursday
morning. The death was the result of a
peculiar affliction.
Up until she was about four months old,
the dead child seemed to be unusually
healthy. Then it took sick. Dr. Scott was
called in and pronounced the illness sum
mer complaint. The parents thought some
thing else was tbe matter, and called in
several other physicians, but the child got
no better. Gradually it grew worse. Its
skin became, covered with great blotches,
which seemed to grow larger each day. The
child lost almost all ot its flesh, and its
joints grew stiff and appeared to become os
sified. Most of the time it lay in a seem
ingly comatose condition, with its eyes wide
open and staring straight before it. Its
pulse could scarcely be felt beating. Once
it turned entirely black, then grew white
again, and again became colored. Most of
the time, the only daily nournishment it
took, was about three tablespoonsful of wine.
THE FINAL KITES.
Arrangements for tho funeral of the Late
Captain James Rees.
The funeral of the late James Rees is be
ing arranged to take place next Sunday
afternoon at 250 o'clock. It will be under
the direction of H. Samson, and will be
very plain ana unostentatious. The cor
tege will proceed from the late residence
of the deceased, on Amberson street, near
Fifth avenue, to the Allegheny Cem. i-:ry,
and the last services for the dead will be
conducted at the family abode by the Rev.
"W. J. Holland, of the Bcllefield Church.
The interment will be strictly private.
It was stated that six hired pallbearers
and six honorary ones were to be selected,
but this was partly a mistake, as those
chosen are chiefly workmen in the shops ot
the deceased. The pallbearers will be:
N.B. Aegley, Henry Hays. Geo. A. Berry,
Colonel Wm. Herron, It. C. Loomis, K. S.
Smith, B. F. Wilson. Colonel Jas. Collord, Jas.

the first one to be organized in this vicinity.
Twenty-three members who could not belong
to any trades' organization joined the new

John Eh man Recording Secretary. The or
ganization will also be after the same plan
as the Central Trades' Council, and will be
a tribunal through which disputes in trades'
unions may be settled.

porter were almost flying through the air,
at the back of two high-bred Kentucky
mules.
The accident occurred at the far side of
the yard, as approached from Twenty-eighth
street. When the scene of the accident was
reached just 4 minutes and 60 seconds had
elapsed.
"While "Walter Stoughtrey, of 3532 Butler
street, a messenger boy in the service of the
Pennsylvania road, was crossing the track,
a locomotive caught his leg and crushed it
in a frightful manner.
The boy was lifted into the ambulance,
and in 3 minutes he was in the surgical
ward.
From the time the message was received
until the boy was in the hospital only 7
minutes and 60 seconds had elapsed.
TELEPHONED FOB A SUEdEON.
During the time the ambulance was away,
the Superintendent had telephoned into the
city for a surgeon.
Dr. Hamilton immediately responded to
the call. The house doctors while waiting
for the surgeon put the instruments in readi
ness, prepared the various washes and
adjusted a small hose to an elevated glass
tank full of bi-chloride of mercury from
1,000 to 2,000 per cent in strength1.
As soon as Dr.' Hamilton arrived he
quietly turned back the blanket, disclosing
the boy's leg, and calmly surveyed it. Just
below the upper joint of the right leg, a
gum band had been tightly adjusted to pre
vent a flow of blood. Midway between -the
upper and middle joints the flesh had been
completely severed and presented a horri
ble appearance. The operating surgeon
gave orders to administer an anaesthetic,
which done, the boy rested as calmly as if
in a gentle slumber during the cutting and
sawing off of his leg.
A QUICK OPEBATIcftr.
Tbe doctor performed the work with great
dispatch. After the leg was severed from
the body the stump was scraped very care
fully; the chloride of mercury was kept
flowing constantly over the wound to kill
any insects that might be drawn by the
wound. The doctors hold that the air is
full of poisonous germs, which are attracted
to a wound where Dlood flows.
All the linens and gauze which are used
in operations are soaked for 24 hours in bi
chloride from 100 to 500 per cent in strength.
This is done to prevent the slightest irrita
tion after the operation has been performed.
The operation of yesterday was performed
expeditiously. It took about 30 minutes to
cut the leg off, wash the boy and put him
to bed.
