SIGNS OF A SQUALL. Mr. MeCreery Persists in Having Thai $125,000 From Gen. Beaver. THE LATTER DENIES A PROMISE. Treasurer Thompson Tells of One Who Wanted to JJorrow $100,000. A DISTEIBUT10. OP $1,600,000 SOON The proposition contained in Governor Beaver's letter in answer to the demand made upon bim for 125,000 by "William MeCreery, Chairman of the Pittsbnrc Be lief Committee, is now made known by a member of the latter organization. Divested of the arguments and statements made by Governor Beaver, the sum and substance of the proposition is that the tools bought by the Pittsburg committee will be paid lor out of the remnant of the 5300,000 raised by the Governor among his friends, t Treasurer Thompson, when asked as to the amount paid out tor tools in the early days of the flood, stated that it might have been close on to 510,000, but would hardly exceed that sum. It is hard to predict what will be done, as several members ot the com mittee are pacifically inftined toward Gov ernor Beaver. Chairman MeCreery, it is understood, sturdily maintains that Gov ernor Beaver made a distinct oral agreement to return 5125,000, and not 510,000, or any minor sum. "What will somewhat compli cate the situation is the fact that even if Governor Beaver should decide to repay the money, and should pay over the money from the funds in his hands, the fact that the "money would reach the people eventually would not save the Governor from further criticism. It is stated that he emphasized this point in the letter to Mr. MeCreery, but the Executive reiterates in most positive terms his disavowal ofny language in the shape of a contract to return the money ad vanced by the Pittsburc committee. On the otherhurd, Mr. MeCreery has received letters from prominent Johnstown people who were present when the conversation took place, which are in direct opposition to the statements made by the Governor. A COMMITTEE MEETING TUESDAY. Mr. "Win. K. Thompson was asked yester day whether a committee meeting would be held shortly. He said: "Yes. The Pitts burg Belief Committee will hold a special meeting next Tuesday. Governor Beaver's answer to Mr. MeCreery will be discussed and some agreement arrived at without doubt. There are a number of small bills to come before the committee for action, and if all goes well there will be little difficulty in winding up the work of the committee and making a. public statement of its af fairs. We will then turn over the balance of the money in our hands, only preserving a small fund for contingent expenses." Mr. Thompson related several incidents in connection with the custodianship of the large sum of money directly contributed to Pittsburg which exhibit an amusing side of human nature. He said: "Some time since one of the best-known business men of Pittsburg came into my of fice and mated that he wanted to borrow ' 5100,000 of the funds for the Johnstown suf ferers. I said that it was preposterous, but he stated that he had the most undoubted securities for the money: that it was the common belief that a year might elapse be fore the money would be wanted for pay ment, and that the money would be much better employed in drawing interest than in lyin? idle. I repeated that it would be im possible to lend a cent of the money on any security, owinc to the fact that it might be called for at any moment. My visitor then quoted the scriptural parable 'of the talents, and tried to convince me that holding such an amount of money in idleness was doing as the slothful servant who hid his talent in r napkin. But it was simply out of the ques tion to allow any portion of the money to pass from immediate control. Others have come into the bank and urged me to deposit the money in savings banks, or to invest it in bonds on the open market, forgetting, I suppose, that fluctuations might take place." "William E. Thompson has received two letters from S. M. Dickeni. Commander of the Tallapoosa, and J. H. Gibbs, command ing South American station, United States Xavy, Buenos Ayres. South America, in closing checks for 5185 50 and 588 respect ively, collected on the flagship Richmond and Tallapoosa, for the relief of the Johns town sufferers. THE COMMISSION MEETING. James B. Scott has returned from the meeting of the Flood Commission at Harris burg. He reports harmony and expedition of business during a consecutive session of eight hours. Mr. Scott states that the matter of 5125,000 was not discussed, and is left to be settled by the Governor and the PitUburg committee. It was resolved that the 51,000, 000 be distributed among the sufferers in oue large distribution, and it cannot be done before two weeks, as the classification cannot be completed before that time. Dis tribution will be made by J. B. Kreamer, Secretarv of the commission. The Jersey oiiure uimmmet goi $ju,uuu lor tneir con stituents, and were satisfied willi it In the Pittsburg fund there is still 5104 -000, in the Philadelphia fund 5400,000, and in the Kew York fund 5350.000, and Mr. Scott states that after the 51,600,000 have been distributed there will be a remainder or 5200,000 to 5250,0u0. He thinks the com mission can do better work bv meeting in Johnstown than elsewhere. The work in the Eastern part of the State has been about completed, and the commission expects to finish the bulk of its work within a month. The next meeting will be held at the call of the Governor, who is Chairman of the com mission. FOR feEASiCKNESS TJsc Uomford'a Acid Phospbatr. Dr. W. V. BIackma.n, Brooklyn, If.

The green eoods business has been proba bly exhausted in the newspaper reading population of Pittsburg, and the man who entices another to a back room to purchase 55,000 for 5200 has gone to New York to so licit subscriptions for the Grant monument, or to Chicago to fleece the verdant Suckers on a "World's Fair project. The raised bill is now the style in which the ordinary crook and extraordinary swindler seek to beat the Pittsburg public. On Friday afternoon the office or J. L. Masten, postmaster at Beltzhoover, was in vaded by a placid-looking stranger, who wished to buy a dollar's worth of groceries, which, with registered letters, postage stamps, bills for unpaid tailors and other necessaries of life, are to be found in every rural postoffice. "With the ready willing ness to -accommodate which pervades the Postoffice Department from John "Wana maker down, who might drop his canceling stamps to show a customer into the ready made department, the Beltzhoover post master showed the way into the grocery sanctum. There the purchase was made, and a 510 bill handed over as far as appear ances are concerned. But appearances are deceitrul, and so was the 510 bill. It was a 52, the vignette of Major General Hancock on the left-hand lower corner smiliu? as sardonically on the changed condition of the bill as he did over the fatal delay of McClellan alter Septem ber 13, 1862. The word "Two," engraved on the front of the bill, had all the T and part of the w erased with a lead pencil, and the figures "10," clipped irom revenue stamps, were stuck on over the 2s in every position required. Detective Sol Coulson has the case in hand, as well as the bill, and says it is as well a made-np "raiser" as he has ever seen, and wonld be liable to deceive any person taking a bill in a hurry. He thinks that this old species ot swindling revived is simply used to pass time away and take atten tion from dangerous counterfeits which will stand the inspection of non-experts, and may shortly be sprung on the community. The raising ot a 52 hill to a $10 entails con siderable trouble, and the amount gained is not sufficient to repay the risk, so he says to look out for counterfeit twenties, tens, and over, which will show no pasted numbers. MUST ACT OR GET OUT. The Lincoln School Board Most Show Why They Failed to Elect Teachers Citizens Tired of Sqanbbles. A petition was presented in court yester day praying that the seats of the directors of the Lincoln School Board, Twenty-first ward be declared vacant, and that other suitable persons be appointed in their stead. The petition sets forth that the present Board, A. H. Edwards. K. B. "Ward, K. "W. Thompson, John Grist, E. J. McLaughlin and M. B, Cunningham were duly elected, but they have failed to elect regular teach ers or substitutes sufficient to properly con duct the school. The school opened on Sep tember 2 with a number of vacancies in the corps; by reason of the board's failure to agree on a candidate, their children are deprived of their lawfnl right to be taught in the public school. The petition alleges there is no question or dispute as to tbe right of tbe petitioners, and others living in the district to have such regular teachers and substitutes elected, but the directors have failed to perform their duty and the school has not the requisite number of teachers, and that they believe the directors have made no provision for such election, and that none will take place by reason of controversies and disputes between them. The signers are "W. F. Anil. E. D. Smith, John S. Dawson, Finley Torrens, Samuel Shaffer, George "W. McNeil, C. K. Martin, John Bradley, Samuel Heppenstall, J. E. Ash, R. Lament, A. K. .Henderson, Jos. S. Brown and J. C. Jamison. Judge "White granted a rule on the board leturnable on Monday September 21, at 10 o'clock, to show cause why they do not elect the teachers.'and in default why they should not be removed.

A Unique Musical Programme Prepared for Each .Night This Week. P0PDUR AIRS FROM? VARIOUS LANDS Some of the Exposition officers talk confi dently of 540,000 profit, and some even of 560,000, but more experienced ones shake their heads and put in as an offset to the figures the enormous running expenses of even one day. The success of the past week will not deter the management from making the results of the coming week even more satisfactory to both the public and the offi cers, and with this end in view Manager Johnston has evolved some ideas that will be put in force at once, and following is the programme for each night this week: Monday night will be devotedntirely to sweet old English music and the popular ballads. The best compositions of the old time melodists will be given lrom 7 o'clock until 10 by the Great Western Band. Tues day night will ring with melodies from the Land of the Thistle, and thousands from Scotia's shores will once again "Oh, whustle and I'll come to you, my love." Wednesday evening, and the beautiful notes of "Come Back to Erin" will betoken tbe advent of the songs dear to the heart of every true son of Ireland. Thursday night will be floral night, and the air will be heavy with the sweet perfume of the handsomest cut flower exhibition ever given in this city. The credit of this idea is due to Manager Johnston, and the total expense of the whole has been cheerfully borne by the following hotels of this city: The Duquesne, the Anderson, the Seventh Avenue, the St. Charles, the St James, the Central, the Hotel Boyer and the Deshons. Friday night will be devoted entirely to classical music and gems from the best com posers. Saturday night means "all hands around, everybody balance all and all take part in the dress parade." Music will be carefullv selected to suit the popular taste. Ibeweek .ttter will, of conrse, begin with other national music: the German, and French, and Welsb, and Italian, winding up with Miss Columbia. Then there are plans going on to secure choral music: tho Mamner chor, the EistoHed, eta, to follow. THE FINE CARPETS AND CURTAINS Shown by Edward Groctzlnger bnt nn Index to tbe Stock nt 027 nnd 629 I'cnn Ave. It is only within tbe past few years that Pitts burg could boast of a store devoted exclusively to tbe sale ot carpets and curtains that would compare with those of the largest Eastern cities, the majority of dealers here, as well as in cities further West, carrying a line of other coods entirely foreign to the carpet trade. Some years since Edward Grnetzm;er, then doing business in Allegheny, conceived the idea of erecting a mammoth edifice for the exclu sive sale of carpets and curtains, the realization of which was the six storv structure Noj. 627 and629Penn avenue. The building also con tains a basement, and the entire seven floors ot space are filled with a stock of the very latest weaves and patterns, culled by experienced buyers from the choicest productions of the world. That Fittsbnrgcrs may purchase the choicest goods, it became necessary for Mr. Groetzinger to import largely to be enabled to supply his immense wholesale and retail trade at prices as low as the goods can be obtained in the East ern marts. To satisfy yourself that this can be done you have bnt to pay Mr. Groetzinger a Visit of inspection. We desire particularly to call the attention of visitors to the city to our display at the Ex position. It is located on the ground floor in the southeast corner of tbe mam building, directly to the light of the entrance to floral hall. The design shows a reception hall, par lor, library, staircase and balcony. The de signing and decorating were all conceived by artists in Mr. Groetzingers employ. The reception hall 1 covered with one of the finest Royal Wilton carpets ever brought to America. 'Two windows in the hall are fes tooned with fine Renaissance curtains; a dour leading outward is represented by a pair of French Turcomans of uniqne design. At the top of the stairways is a balcony (containing fireplace) reaching entirely across the space. The stairways and balcony are carpeted.with Royal Wilton similar to that of the reception hall, and make a most beautiful showing. Immediately in front and to the right of the reception hall Is the parlor, with library in the background. The floors of both rooms are covered with a beautiful Gobelin carpet of camel-brown ground, interspersed with figures of a darker hue. Scattered here and there are beautiful monnted animal rugs, the two princi pal of which are very fine specimens of the royal -Bengal tiger, being 9 feet 6 inches in length. Tbe one in the immediate front having the eyeballs lighted at night, and the capacious jaws distended, giving it a peculiar ferocious appearance but it won't bite. The collection of animal rugs in tbe exhibit is the finest ever shown here, consisting of black bear, panther, silver and red fox. wolf, etc One very rare specimen is that of a pnre white fox, set in the center of a black fur rng. The parlor and library are separated by portieres of French Turcoman, relieved by Renaissance and Brnssels lace curtains. The walls of the parlor are composed ot rolls of finest Royal Wilton and Axminster carpets of entirely new designs, while here and there are scattered numberless Indian and Oriental rugs, handmade, of designs peculiar to the fancies of the Eastern artists, and which are beyond our powers of description. The display altogether is a most valuable one, representing enough capital to stock an ordi nary carpet store. The goods shown have not been imported for the purpose of making a show, although they are of tbe finest manu factured, but can all be duplicated at our big store on Penn avenue. Wo will esteem it a comnlimcnt If strangers Tisiting tnc exposition win .., .. - .- i.i - .t .. . ; r call in and take a. look through our store. In fact you ought not to go home until you have been through all its departments. We employ plenty of help, and extend a welcome to country merchants to call while up to see the show. Remember the location. At Exposition: At right of entrance to Floral Hall. Stores: 627 and 629 Penn avenue. PIANOS, AND PNEUMATIC ORGANS. SYMPHONY E. G. Haya & Co., 75 Fifth Avenue. This young firm has a most creditable ex hibit of gennine novelties. They are very young men, but are manifestly progressive The) believe that an Exposition should be in structive; that it is an educational affair; not a time for bringing out tbe same old too familiar objects, but the time to receive now impres sions and ideas. Therefore, not one of the old style dark wood cased pianos is to be found In their space, but choice, selected specimens of French walnut. English burl oak, bright, rich hued rosewood, mahogany and antique oak. The pianos carried by Hays & Co. are the Jiathushek (that will stand any amount of hard work and persistent usage); the Lester, and the Hazleton Bros. The grand ot this latter make is a noble In strument, beantlful action, and deliciously full sonorous tone. The miniature Cabinet Grand, called the "Petite Bijou," has wou many encomiums. It is astonishing bow much sound the little thing gives ouVflespite its short strings; the very thing to take with a serenading party or a picnic, or similar oc casion where a large Instrument would be too cumbrous. The Wilcox & White pneumatic symphony organs are the greatest invention of me day. .aiuMcisprouucea oy me leet alone or by hanas, or by both together; every register of reeds acting upon the pneumatic organ. Anybody can procure music from them, musi cian or not; no wonder they are so popular The exhibit is so bright and cheerful and the mecbancial bird sings so blithely, and it all is so pleasant, that people congratulate the youn" Una that has stepped right to the front with such courage ana aplomb. THE MOORISH YILLA. Hopper Bros. & Co. How steadily has this stately yet graceful edifice in north gallery grown in popular favor. Visitors making tbeir initial tour of the hall involnntarilv halt to examine this rrnwn triumph, a real home thousands have houses which alone entitles the habitation to that most restful of terms, "home;" the habitues of the Exposition have not been satlsfl ed y, ah one visit, but have returned day after day bring ing tbeir friends to enjoy it with them, to that at times tbe crowd amounts to a blockade. Every one has enjoyed looking at the luxuri ous library couch, which has been added to tbe exhibit, manufactured in its entirety by Hop per Bros. 4 Co., 307 Wood street This couch is of antique oak, covered with gennine moroc co, with a rolled bead rest that sweeps impres sively nearly to tbe flooc Such springs, such tnfting can onlv result In something an n. fortable and soothing, that It will be a difficult I THE PITTSBURG ' DISPATCH, matter to induce the occupant to leave it. Tbe couch is a most ; appropriate adjunct w other furniture, although It is a subject oi sur- prise, that anything more conld have been added to what was already apparently com plete. Should this-firm elect to demonstrate still further their capabilities. It wonld just as surely prove to be something equally Hand some and desirable. GREAT ATLANTIC & PACIFIC TEA CO. Tbe Lending Tea Home of the World. It is no wonder that this tea? company has met with such success when one takes into consideration the energy, enterprise and push displayed by it from their start in 1S61 to the present day." The fact that the name of this firm has been copied in part to a greater ex tent than any other In the world goes to prove that its business was a great success. There haYe, however, been no imitators who have made a notable success. The reason is not hard to discover. The Great Atlantic ana Pacific Tea Company, with its 200 large stores in different cities oft the United States, has been able to conduct its business on a scale of magnitude that enabled It to obtain prices far below its competitors, and thus sell to Its patrons at the lowest prices. Everyone should call and examine their stock of teas, which include all the choicest varieties known. Most celebrated among these is the Tnea Nectar, put up in one-pound boxes, only 00c a pound. With each pound a special present is given. It is upon the fine quality and delightful flavor of this delicious brand of tea that much of tbe high reputation of the company has been built. It is worthy a place on any table. The Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company has six stores in Pittsburg and Allegheny, which have been highly prosperous under tbe management of MrOwen Jones, doing a very large business in tbe most satisfactory manner to its patrons. Besides teas tbis company handles tbe well known A. A P. baking powder, which is the purest and best article of the kind on the mar ket; they sell thp excellent A dt P. brand of condensed milk, and their selectiou of coffees is unsurpassed; The location of their stores is as follows: 34 Fifth avenne, 1703 Carson street, 4311 But ler street, 6127 Penn avenue, Pittsburg; 126 Federal street, Allegheny; 128 Fifth avenue, McKeesport. tusu REINECKE fc CO., 309 WOOD 8T. Donblo Exhibit Plumbing In Gallery and Pampi In Blechnnlcnl Hall. The lovely display In gallery has been the cynosure of all eyes, as the crowds linger near this space. Several important pieces have been added to tbis exhibit, but the Ourney hot water heater holds its own in tbe estimation of tbose who are seeking the best method for making homo warm and comfortable as winter comes on. Beyond tbo advantages heretofore Suoted, the fact that this hot water apparatus oes not require the constant attention neces sary with steam, as the heater only needs look ing after two or three times in 24 hours, and an ordinary domestic is quite competent to take charge of it. THE PUMPS AT THE TANK in Mechanical Hall present many features of interest. The colors white and gold are symbol ical of their merits. The white is the emDlem of purity and simplicity, the gold of their worth, for is not good water pure, and i not the pump which procures it worth its weight in gold for yielding such an imcomparable ele ment? The Kej stone pump is the best of its kind; it is shown in many forms, double and single acting force pumps and one species triple. The pump which can draw water at one point and have two outlets acting at tbe same time, one at tbe spring and the other at house or barn hundreds of feet away, is tbe triple acting, and it is a marvel in tbe pump line. At this exhibit 100 different kinds are shown, one very simple and effective pump is nsed for filling the boilers of threshing ma chines: it can also be used to advantage for sprinkling lawns. Parties looking for the best kinds of pnmps extant will find it to their in terest to consult with Reinecke & Co. HANDSOME MANTELS. Kramer & Redman, Limited, nnd G.T.Her- rick & Co., 70S Smilbficld St. While occupying no regularly allotted space, these enterprising firms bave specimens of their beautiful workmanship at tho Exposition that are a revelation to Pittsburgers of the power of home manufacturers to produce as handsome settings for fireplaces as can be found. In Groetzinger"s parlor display they bave placed a mantel In the style of Louis XIV, in white and gold, 'with a hearth or onyx tiles, the whole trimmed with brass. In J. C. Schoeneck's display they have a mantel oi oak, with an Elizabothlau fireplace beneath. Also a wonderfully handsome wrought iron fireplace. Other superb pieces of art work in hardwood mantels, in tiles', and grates in brass, silver ana nir. The massive doors of Machinery Hall are the Eroduction of Kramer A Redman, and that rmmads tha beantlful Exoosition case of B6ggs& Buhl; while the fireplace and exquis ite blue tiling in Roenlgk's room display are from the house of G. T. Herrick & Co. Enough has been said to indicate that these firms have made a splendid showing at Pitts burg's Exposition. They court inspection of their artistic hardwood mantels and tiling and at 70S Smithfleld street show as bewildering an array of these beautiful pieces as can be seen anywhere. They bave the llnest and most ex clusive line of novelties in wrought iron grates and open fireplaces, and in tiles, marble and ceramic mosaics ever seen here. It is a matter for congratulation to Pittsburgers to know that such high class work can be, and is done every day here in their city. B. L. H. DABB.V PORTRAITS, ETC. i A Very Significant Display of Pittsburg Notables in tbe Art Gallery. The Art Gallery is always crowded, not only In the main rooms, where oil colors and pastelle predominate, but crowded where the photo graphs have been allotted space. Mr. Dabbs, as the leading photographer of Pittsburg, holds our Pitts uurg people very close to bis ar tistic heart, and the result has been that the best pictures ever seen of many of our first people are constantly found In his atelier. Some of these he transferred to tbe Art Gallery and they are viewed with the greatest interest by the thousands who have attended and will no doubt bold as an attraction all through tbe Exposition season. The speaking likeness of the late Mr. William lhaw has been draped in black and is tbe cen ter of respectful attention by all who enter these precincts. Others are there who are well Known to the majority of visitors and each receives its meed of praise. Mr. Dabbs is es sentially a portrait-photographer, as he pos sesses the heaven-born gift of posing his sub ject so as to produce the best expression. He does not seek after effects, be reproduces nature, and all can understand this; hence bis popularity. No young bride feels that she has fulfilled all the requirements of her new position until Dabbs nas photographed her face and form in bridal costume and made a feature of the veil. Being in love with his art, he throws all of his soul Into his work, and the result is that Dabbs is the synonym of per fection. DE3IMLER BROS., 526 AND 528 SMITH FIELD ST. Household Furnishings. Brilliant and striking is this exhibit, filled with everything useful for the housekeeper's requirements; the floor, the counters, the four corner pyramids sbine with articles in nickel, brass, lacquer ware, steel, glass, agate, granite, and blue and white wares. There is so much to see, and oue pair of eyes cannot take it all in at a glance. Pasteur filters in operation, turn ing dark, unclean water into limpid, soarMing streams; New Era clothes washers that cleanse the clothes without rubbing, the suds being pumped through them by hydraulic suction; indurated fiber ware, that can't rust, in all pan and pail forms; Silver & Co.'s glass rolling pins that insure flaky, creamy, putty paste, because the cylinder orpin is filled with cracked ice; "im perial'' stove hollow ware, inner surface enam eled on cast iron these are in kettles, spiders, lipped preserving kettles, and are durable and desirable; gas laundry stoves, one to four boles, smallest consumption of gas (an item with the meter system), John H. Schlag, of Pittsburg, the inventor. These are only a low of tho arti cles, and visitors who have seen this exhibit on main floor will best realize what a herculean task it would bo to even enumerate tbo items. BAIRD'S LUNCH ROOMS r And Dining Parlors, Opposite tbe Pittsburg Poitoulce. No more central or convenient location can be found than this flrst-class restaurant. There is a large lunch room on tbe ground floor, and the dining room, equipped with tables, is ou the second floor. The cooking and service are the best, and tbe prices are very low. An ex cellent meal is served for 25 cents, or dishes may be ordered from the bill of fare if desired. Visitors will find here prompt attention, good cooking and a very convenient place to take meals while visiting the Exposition. Baird & Co. serve such a large number of meals every day to their patrons that they know how to meet the largest demand in the promptest and best manner. Echols, Blcllnrray & Co., Pianos and Organs. This exhibit of musical instruments in the north gallery conveys the idea of the push and energy of this new firm. The arrangement Is good and the result attractive. Some ot tbo specimens shown are ot tbe very best makes known, and better still they are gaining In popularity every day. The leading instruments are from Ahlstrom, Haines Bros., Bush & Gerts and Jewett. The organs carry such names as Taber, Waterloo and the celebrated Mason & Hamlm.

Deah Sie Perhaps a few words from me at this time giving impressions etc., may not come amiss. Leaving Fittsbnrg on the evening of the 31st ult., I made no stop until reaching San Antonio, which place I reached (barring several detentions and a couple of freight wrecks) at 7 P. H, on the following Tuesday. Your letter to Mr. J. V. Diguowity 1 was unable to deliver owing to his absence from the city, but I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Wm. .ruriss, witn wnom i naa a long ana pleas ant talk. I had often heard and read of San Antonio as being the paradise of sports and gamblers, and lawlessness generally, but I must &y that in my two days stay here, and I think I saw the city pretty thoroughly, that I did not see a single drunken man, or any signs whatever of a disturbance. I will veuture to say that in a New England town ot equal size, you could not find a more peaceable state of affairs. The idea of men going around vith pistols in their belts looking for blood is absurd. The day of such men 33 Bud Thompson, Jack Harris, Billy Simms, etc., is gone, never to return. I had several pressing in vitations to stay longer but as I promised you to go to Brackett, I pushed on and reached here on Thursday evening last. To say that I am pleased with tbe country, would convey but a faint idea of how I like it. After being so much accustomed to tbe high hills or Pennsylvania, to be so suddenly trans ferred to such a vast plain, it did seem rather odd at first, but the more'l see of the conn try, the better I like it, and I hope the day will soon come, when this vast fertile coun try will be dotted with towns and villages, which will put to shame the boasted advan tages of the much talked of West And there is no earthly reason why it should not be so. I do not think you have over esti mated its advantages in the least, and I am only too glad to add my little mite in helping to build it np. I had the pleasure of driving over to your Mariposa ranch last Sunday, and what a magnificent piece of property it is. It must be seen to be appre ciated. With a thorough, earnest and sys tematic cultivation, could be made equal to any oithe famous farms of South California. Hope everything is progressing favorably with"you, and that the result of your labors will be that Northern men will see these things in the right light, and that it will be to their advantage to come here. Person ally I have found the people as hospitable as can be lound anywhere, and as for safety, where else in the United States can you go to bed on the ground floor, and leave" doors and windows open? The idea ot people going round with their lives in their hands is a bugaboo, and simply born of preju dice. With regard to the newspaper busi ness, matters are progressing favorably and will be consummated shortly. With kind re gards, I am yours, very truly. J. F. Bueton.

' John McCoy Was Cannht and Charged With Swearing Falsely An Allegheny HorseDeaIer Is Prosecutor. John E. Allen and W. T. Turner, opera tives of the Gilkinson .agency, returned from Beaver county 'Friday evening, bring ing with them as a prisoner John McCoy, whom they caught after a lively hnnt through Butler county. McCoy is charged before Alderman McKelvey, of tbe South side, with swearing lalsely against John Campbell, a horse dealer, whp lives on West Jefferson street, Allegheny. Campbell is accustomed to visit the neighboring counties to buy horse.. Some time last month, when in Evans City, Butler county, he was ar rested on a charge of robbing John Stewart, of that town. McCoy was tbe witness against him. He swore that he saw Camp bell take a roll of bills from Stewart's pocket. McCoy swore at first that both Campbell and Stewart were drank, but afterward said that only Stewart was intoxi cated. Campbell proved to the satisfaction of tbe Court in Butler that he had a good reputation, bnt he was convicted on McCoy's testimony. He is now under bail pending the decision on a motion for a new trial. The detectives discovered when they went to Evans City that McCoy had disap peared from that place immediately after the conclusion of the trial. It was learned that he had been seen at Callery, bnt when his pursuers reached there on Thursday he was gone. The Butler fair was visited, bat no trace of him found there. On Friday he was located at BrushC reek, in Beaver county, and was arrested while working on a derrick. He strenuously objected to ar rest, bnt was pat into a carriage and driven to tbe nearest depot. On the way he tried to jump out of the carriage. He was lodged in tbe conuty jail here. He will have a hearing on Tuesday, and his bail has been fixed at $300. McCoy is abont 20 years old, and is from Clarion county. It has been reported that he is wanted in Clarion county on some charge, bnt Giikinson's agency was enable to furnish positive evidence on that point. They wonld like to have it. A TIGHT GAS LIKE. The New Wrought Iron Pipe of tho Philn- 4 dclphla Co. Stands the Test. Superintendent Brown, of the Bureau of Water, yesterday was present at the test of the new wrought iron pipe to be nsed by the Philadelphia Company. It was a 36-inch tnbe, over a mile long, of steel plate riveted, and Mr. Brown says it is the tightest gas line he ever saw. and more secure than any as yet laid, either in or oat of the city. Biter & Conley arc the makers, and under T5 pounds pressure there was no appreciable leak in a mile or over, which is a most ex cellent showing. It carried more gas than anyone wonld suppose, being fed by two lS-inch, three 10 inch, two 8-inch and two 6-inch pipes, and would carry more gas than anything he has ever seen in the shape of a pipe. He said, further: "This will inaugurate a new era in the gas pipe business, I have no donbt, as the diminution of friction is the great point to be attained; and one pipe of large diameter, as shown by to-day's experi ment, will carry more than a great nnmber of smaller ones." The new pipe will probably be adopted for all mains. THELB CONTRIBUTIONS. Fayette and Cambria Counties Famish Men for Riverside. Yesterday Sheriff J. C.Steinman, of Cam bria county, brought three prisoners to the Biverside Penitentiary.
