they had practiced bringing suits against
speak-easy keepers before Alderman Porter,
and took money to settle them. Constable
Carney was implicated through the testi
mony. McClure and Brown protested their inno
cence, which Judge "White was inclined to
listen to. He placed the burden of the
offense on Alderman Porter and Constable
Carney, and said they were at least equally
to blame. He said the evidence at the trial
showed a bad state of affairs at the Alder
man's office. McClure was then given two
years to the penitentiary and Brown one
year to the workhouse.
Bridget Flaherty was convicted of keep
ing a speak-easy at McKeesport She had
said she gave money to ber landlord to give
to Constable Piper, so she would not be re
turned to the grand jury. These men were
present, and the woman repeated her story.
They denied it, but said thejreceived money
from her to pay a butcher's bill. Her land
lord bears a good name in the town, and was
very indignant, but Judge "White said, he
believed the woman, and expressed his con
tempt lor constables and others who extort
ed money from women and encouraged them
to break the law. Alter some plain talk to
all the parties, the Judge said he would con
sider the case inrther before pronouncing
sentence.

MRS. REED'S REPLV.
Sbe Saya She Tried No Fraud in the Cream
err Compnuy.
Mrs. Sarah A. Beed yesterday filed her
answer to the equity suit brought by "Will
iam Scaife and others against the Chartiers
Creamery Company, herself and others.
She states that the charge that the judgment
for $15,400 confessed by the company to her
was not with the intention of defrauding
other creditors, but was made in good faith.
She claims that she loaned the money to
the company and the judgment was in pay
ment. It is also claimed that the order of court
discharging the rule obtained by Scaife and
others to have the judgment given her
stricken off, is a bar to this suit, as it is
brought practically for the same purpose.

THE-
IMPROYINGTHE SHOW
Seven New Buildings to be Put Up
and the Galleries Widened,
MR. JOHNSTON GOING TO PAEIS.
The Eain Drove Big Crowds to the Exposi
tion Yesterday.
EXTRA PRECAUTIONS AGAINST FIRE
Some big improvements are to be made in
the Exposition buildings for next year. The
galleries are too narrow, and it has been de
cided to widen them sine feet. The band
stand is in the wrong place, and will be put
in the center ot the main hall.
Manager Johnston will sail for the Paris
exhibition next Saturday, and he says he
will select such specialties only that will
improve the Pittsburg show. The leases of
the stables, etc, between the buildings and
the Point will expire this year, and the
society proposes to erect about seven build
ings, to cost $30,000, on this ground, each to
be devoted to a particular industry.
The attendance yesterday, in fact,
eclipsed that of any previous occasion by
many hundreds, and it was "people's day,"
in the fullest sense of the word. The peo
ple were bidden, and they accepted the in
vitation almost en masse. In anticipation
of the popular outpouring, many of the ex
hibitors had renewed their exhibits, and
the show was, in many of its features, an
entirely new one. The management, too,
had taken extra precautions to guard
against fire, accident or blockades, and
extra police officers and firemen were on
duty who compelled visitors to "move on"
whenever they showed a disposition to stop
in the aisles to talk.
Bandmaster Innes and his splendidly
trained men contributed in no small meas
ure to the entertainment of the crowd, and
these concerts, consisting of popular music,
were much enjoyed.
This week will be the last week of the Expo
sition, which will close next Saturday night.
THE FIRST INTRODUCTION OF
Sncar-Coated Popcorn.
From the best sources of information, It is
learned that this favorite production was
originated by Mr. L L. Baker m 1859 at Spring
field, O., since which time he has been prose
cuting the mannfacture of this article. For
many years be attended the various county
fairs of Ohio, ana was identified with the Ohio
State Board of Agriculture for 14 years.
In the fall of 1872 he became connected with
the Cincinnati Exposition and remained with
that institution 13 years.
r.In 1875 he conducted his business in our first
Pittsburg Exposition, and remained with it
year after year until the fire at Smokv Island
in 1SS3, where he sustained a loss of nearly
saoco.
In 1875 .Mr. Baker purchased the exclusive
privilege for his business at the Centennial in
Philadelphia, for which he paid a large sum.
His friends predicted that this venture would
prove a financial failure; and so it seemed for
the first four months. In view of the final re
sult, Mr. Baker never chanced his mind, al
though his expenses were DUO dally. The re
ceipts for a great many days did not aggregate
10, which forced him to go down Into his
pocLetforthe remaining 1C0 in order to seep
the thing going.
The tide finally turned, and popcorn became
the chief topic both at the Centennial, on the
streets and in the cars, in fact it was universal,
and the amount of popcorn sold was truly
astonishing. This success enabled Mr Baker
to come out with a snug fortune on the home
stretch.
Since the Centennial Messrs. Baker & Son
have conducted their business in all the expo
sitions in the country, viz., Cincinnati, St.
Louis, Pittsburg, Baltimore, Kansas City and
Minneapolis.
They were outbid at Cincinnati last season,
and the party who bought the privilege dropped
over 110,000 in their first enterprise.
Messrs. Baker & Son are now running the
confectionery business in three Expositions,
namely, St. Louis, Minneapolis and here, and
their goods are fully as popular in the other
two places as they are in Pittsburg.
FALL OPENING.
R. Sledlo Si Sons, Silversmiths, No. 34 Fifth
Avenue, rittsbnrv.
Silver, from time immemorial, has been re
garded as the emblematic metal, which in vari
ous forms has served as souvenirs, both for
weddings and anniversaries. It has been a
traditionary custom to hand from generation
to generation heirlooms of silver, which in
families are regarded not only for intrinsic, but,
in a stronger and deeper sense, for their ex
trinsic value. Presents of silver are more ac
ceptable than any others, and for this reason
will retain their influence when bnc-a-brac,
glass and other objects have passed into dis
quietude. Messrs. Siedle & Sons, appreciating this fact,
determined to make a specialty of sterling sil
ver, and in their fall opening, wbn h began
Thursday, October 10, to continue one week
from that date, display a magnificent arravof
goods made from this precious metaL They
have taken a step in the right direction, as
their growing trade in this line seems to indi
cate that silver is the thing above all others in
which to expand.
From a thimble or napkin ring to a gorgeous
dinner set, they are prepared to supply their
patrons, and the numerous articles which ap
pear In this opening give evidence that their
intentions will be carried out. Some very
choice silver is disclosed in chests, which de
serves mention. One contains five dozen
spoons and forks in "Rococo" style of a rich
design. This design is exclusive to this bouse.
Another, ot band-engraved ware, contains not
only a f nil line of spoons and forks, but ladles,
berry spoon and butter knife: also carvers with
mother-of-pearl handles. The various sets for
dinner, tea and dessert, as well as center pieces,
pitchers, bowls and other objects of table
garniture, demonstrate the choicest ideas
which have been evolved through the silver
smith's art.
THE MATHUSEK PIANO.
E. G. Hays & Co., 75 Fifth Avenue.
Among the pianos carried by this vigorous
firm of very young men is the excellent "Ma-
thnsek," an instrument that will hold its own
against any amount ot bard, continuous work
Eut upon it. It is usual in many honses to
ave one piano for the pupils and another for
proficients. Now this is an injustice to begin
ners, for an accurate, even "technique," can
never be gained upon an unequal or defective
action. Therefore, do away with these old, in
different affairs and adopt in their stead a
Mathusek, which will render efficient and good
service to all. These are to be had in uprights,
orchestrals, parlor and concert grand,
the cases in all the new and beauti
ful woods now prevailing. The uprights
are in five sizes, as are also the
orchestral or square pianos, which have the
unusual merit in this square form, of possess
ing a well-balanced, even scale; the two re
maining styles being the Parlor and Concert
Grands, which are always preferred by pro
fessional and concert players. People are be
ginning to Understand that any room which
will accommodate a "square." will be suited
for a Parlor Grand. The "tuning pin" of these
pianos is of peculiar valne, as it holds so firmly
that these instruments require only abont one
fourth of the tuning necessary for others; they
have abounding board" that bids defiance to
atmosphere, and purchasers may know that
only thoroughly tested and best materials are
ever allowed to enter Into the construction of
these instruments; and still further, the prices
are most moderate. Space will not permit
enumeration of otherpianos and organs carried
by this house, but full particulars can be ob
tained at the wareroom, No. 75 Fifth avenue.
HOPrER DROS. & CO., 307 WOOD ST.
Choice Exhibit In North Gallery.
The fact that this exhibit being in the gal

stairs, has but seemed to increase the zeal of
visitors to Tiew it. Up, np they climb, and
find themselves amply repaid for their toil.
Another fact which the people appreciate is,
that the fine display is made from samples
taken from the tfsnal stock carried by this
firm; and third and indubitable fact that it Is
the pet exhibit in the edifice. Facts are stub
born things, and these tbree will not be over
come. Tet another fact is, that purchasers can
find all thev require of the same kinds by call
ing at 307 Wood street, and unlimited
amounts of other styles not displayed at
the Exposition, in all the newest and
most fashionable forms, designs and materials,
both as to woods, upholstering, fabrics, etc.
Facts continue to loom np in hydra-beaded
profusion: here is another: Your orders will be
promptly, efficiently and punctually fulfilled,

in remodeline the same; and fact the last, you
will have honest goods and be better pleased

eled iron hathtntis. enameled iron washtUOS,
and the sanitary closets all of scientific con-
strnctlon and of handsome appearance. -The

fact of its superiority over any other system or
heating, not only for its effectiveness, but as a
conserver of health. This latter point finds
ample indorsement f roin eminent physicians at

A Painting Recognized.
A lady from a distance was visiting friends
in the East End and among other places of in
terest sbe was driven to see the Hiland Hill
reservoir, and greatly admired the beautiful
landscape on the opposite side of the Allegheny
river. The next day sbe visited the Exposition,
and when looking at the large picture that
covers the entire end of the main hall just as
you enter the Art Gallery, remarked that the
scene seemed familiar. Her companion,
thought she had never seen it before,
supposing tho picture one of the imagination;
but she insisted that somewhere or other she
had seen that very landscape, and on inquiry,
after returning to the East End. learned to ber
great delight, and her companion's discomfi
ture, that it was the identical view she had ad
mired the day before from the Hiland reser
voir. The artist who painted the picture bad it
photographed from Hiland Hill, and from
these photographs the picture was painted with
remarkable exactness- The -picture repre
sents one of the H. J. Heinz Company gardens;
where they cultivate a portion of the vege
tables used in the manufacture of their famous
pickles and condiments. .

NO RUBBER GLOVES
Used by Allegheny Connty Light
Men Handling Electric Wiresi
SAFE INSOLATION IN PITTSBURG.
Accidental Deaths From Electricity Almost
Unknown Here.
NEW I0RKEKS SHOULD TAKE NOTICE
The occurrence in New York City, in such
rapid succession, of so many deaths caused
by contact with electric light wires, is not
without food for reflection in this city where
the invisible ligl ting power is so largely
employed. The Mayor of the metropolis
has commenced a crusade against all ex
posed telegraph, telephone and light wires,
and the attention of civic authorities in all
the large cities is more or less directed to
the subject.
So far Pittsburg has enjoyed an immunity
from such horrible- affairs as those recorded
in yesterday's Dispatch, and to ascertain
just how such an immunity was preserved,
it yesterday became the duty of the writer.
One of the'most surprising things learned at
the outset was that the line operators em
ployed by the Allegheny County Light
Company discarded the use of rubber
gloves when handling the live wires, and
this, taken in conjunction with the
necessity for their use in New York and
other cities, seemed to point to the superi
ority of the lighting systems in vogue in
this city. It is a fact that during the eight
years that the company mentioned have
been operating not a single death has oc
curred directly attributable to contact with
electric wires, despite the fact the men em
ployed in handling them were seemingly so
careless. This is due primarily to the care
exercised fn properly insulating the wires
and, secondly, to the careful method of
placing the. wires in position and in making
connections.
CAEE MUST BE EXEECISED.
Mr. Robert J. Daly, the efficient fore
man of the outside work of the company,
said that when proper care was exercised in
making connections, so that when a wire
was cut for a splice it was again dnly in
sulated, and provided that properly in
sulated wires were used for the distribution
of the current, and care taken to stopall
leakages caused by abrasions all of which
came within the careful lineman's duty
that practically no danger existed from
freely handling the wires. Rubber gloves
were provided ny the company, but the men
seldom used them. An incident was related
of a painter who, some three years ago.f ell
from a scaffolding, seizing hold of a pair of
live wires in his descent. He hung on to
them until rescued, and was quite unin
jured. The Allegheny County Light Company
nses wires made by a local firm, the Stand
ard Underground Cable Company, and Sie
men, of Boston. An official stated that they
employed none but the very best insulated
wire attainable, and that all their lines
were of the mannfacture of these firms, with
the exception of a short section, which would
be shortly replaced. This gentleman said
that he attributed the lrequent accidents in
New York to indifferent workmanship in plac
ing the wires and forming connections, and
to the use of wires not thoroughly insulated.
On his system, tests for leakages were made
twice each day, and when any were discov
ered the section-was isolated and at once re
paired. He held that where strict attention
to details was adhered to and the lines care
fully manipnlated, there was no cause for
danger. It was claimed that Pittsburg was
far ahead of other cities in the matter of
electric lighting. She had one of the largest
plants, and the system in use was not sur
passed anywhere.
ONLY ONE -WEST OF 1TEW TOEK.
The Standard Underground Cable Com
pany, o'f this city, is the only firm west of
New York engaged in the manufacture of
electric light wires. It has supplied the
Light Company with many miles of wire,
and the official of the latter company before
referred to stated that it was superior to any
in use.
Mr. J. "W. Marsh, the Secretary, claimed
that the deaths from coniact with live
wires was due to insufficient insulation, and
he was of opinion that the New York com
panies were using wires which necessitated
the use of gloves when handling them.
This should not be, and if wire properly
prepared was used the accidents- so fre
quently reported would not. occur. Mr.
Marsh said that yesterdar his company had
Mr.fl
received an order from New York" for 50
miles of electrio light wire, and more were
to follow. They were extending their fac
tory to overtake their orders.
All of which goes to show that when
electric wires are carefully insulated in the
first instance and properly handled and
looked alter in the next, that no dancer
need be feared as arising from them, and
further that Pittsburg is at the head of the
electric lighting industry, and can fnrnish
other cities with the best material for the
purpose when they make up their minds to
have it.
Another Cruelty Case.
Agent Dean made an information before
Alderman Porter, alleging that James
Bates and his wife, Annie Bates, living on
Liberty street, cruelly ill-used their little
children. It was a frequent occurrence, trie
agent said, for the father to turn the chil
dren into the streets at night, shut the house
up and go to bed. A number of the neigh
bors took pity on the little ones and shel
tered them during the night time. James
Jarvis was arrested and held in 5500 bail,
but his wife, escaped and has not been
canght yet.

HOW BUBBLES BOBST.
A Prominent, Attorney Shows How Little
There Is In Expected Fortnnes A Story
Given to Illustrate.
N. W. Shaferhas something to say rela
tive to the large number of people all the
time reveling in -anticipation of some day
inheriting large estates held in England,
Germany,Franre and elsewhere on both con
tinents. He says not one case in a thousand
is worth investigating. Some years ago
several families told him they had good rea
sons to believe they could make good their
claim to a large estate in England. They
exhibited a letter and a copy of a will that
some man had found in Melbourne,
Australia, which showed, in their estima
tion, beyond, any doubt that the estate was
only hanging by a mere thread and would
fall into their' hands after a little legal
shaking. Mr. Shafer finding that he could
not dissuade them from wasting their money
and feeling a personal interest in them as
acquaintances and friends, finally decided
to offer a plan. He told them to send two
drafts, one of 5 and the other of 2 to the
American Consul at Melbourne askinc him
to mace inquiries regarding the man who
professed to be able to divert the large estate
irom England to the United States. If the
man were fonnd to be reliable and of good
character and his. information promised to
amount to-anything, the Consul was asked
to give him 525 for information and keep
$10 for his own trouble. The latter he was
allowed to retain in any event, bnt the" $25
was to be returned if there were nothing in
the case. In course of three or four months
a letter came from the Consul and in it the
draft for 25 unimpaired. He stated that he
had found the man to be a sharper who
made his living Jay his wits. The Consul
stated that from what he could learn of the
man there could be no doubt that he was
trying to play a confidence game.
One would suppose that this would have
been sufficient to shake the confidence of the
claimants, bnt it wasn't and subsequently
another barnacle, this one in England, got
hold of them and despite their lawyers pro
testation they sent him a draft tor 525 for
some insighthe professed to be able to give.
The shark realized on the draft and it came
back to the German National Bank in due
course of business, but he never even took
the trouble to answerjhe letter addressed to
him evidently regarding it as a waste of pos
tage, as he had no information to give.
This man was doubtless a benefactor, for
his swindling the claimants out of 525, he
saved them the fate of the Bogardns heirs
and hundreds of others that might be
named.
