IT IS BADLY MIXED.
Is Mucli So as Some of the
Fancy Drinks Decocted.
MEN TOO WANT LICENSES.
Their Name is Kot Legion, bat the
dumber is Large by Wards.
ALDERMEN'S LISTS GEOWIN 6 FAST
The perils that environ the paths of peo
ple -who want retail license to sell liquor are,
in the estimation of some on the anxious
bench, fully as numerous as those that sur
round the handlers of cold iron. This is
caused by the fact that so many haTe al
ready been through the flint mill and conse
quently dread fire. There is evidently some
thing fascinating about the business, or
some people who are preparing to put up
almost their last dollar to secure "infloo
ence" would not be in the lists.
The subject has been viewed from every
tingle, and some people who a week ago pro
posed to apply for both wholesale and retail
license are again on the fence, and some
people seem delighted by the suggestion of
some possible fresh complication as each
day rolls around. Judging from the num
ber of people who have declared their in
tentions, if the community go thirsty it will
not be the fault of those who are willing to
assuage that thirst
Alderman McMasters stated that he had
55 applications on file from the Second
ward, and had administered the oath in
about 53 other cases, where lawyers had
sent the applicants, making about 90 in all.
He stated that there were no double
headers among them as far as he knew. All
the Second warders applied for retail
license.
HE KNEW OF FORTT.
Alderman Oripp said about 40 applicants
had been to see him, 15 original cases and
25 outsiders who came to his office to be
sworn.
Alderman Beilly said he had about 20
applicants on file in his office. Mr. Beilly
did not think, as some others did, that the
double application shonld injure a man's
standing in court, he holding that a man
ought to be able to stand in a legal right
without prejudice.
A county official of extended experience
of men and things was inclined to think the
court might rule that a wholesale dealer
should equip himself fully in that respect
He said that most dealers who took out a
county wholesale license only got retail
license from the United States Government.
He said he would not be surprised if such
were required to get the Government whole
sale license, keep a book and only buy from
bonded warehouses.
A man who wants reUil license and had
thought of applying for both to have two
strings to his bow has decided that he will
trust his application for a retail license
alone, as he says if asked to choose and, be
ing under oath, he could ask for no other,
and he will not risk his chances.
DOUBLE-HMADERS TJNEAST.
There is considerable uneasiness in the
minds of many applicants as to the possible
effect of asking for donblc license. Some
think the Judgoi may be inclined to regard
it as a sort of juggling that will prejudice
them against applicants; while others
think, with Alderman Beilly, that if a man
has a legal right to ask for both, his stand
ing in court should not be injured thereby.
The aldermen on the Sontbsidc have been
kept busy for the .past ten days making out
papers for persons after licenses. Alder
man Succop-has a drawer full of papers,
numbering about 20. Alderman Schaffer
will prepare abont 20 papers. There will
be no less than 20 applicants in the Allen
town district, and it i safe to say that the
other aldermen will Hive their share.
Alderman Schafler .aid that many were
taking out wholesaiu licenses, thinking'
their chances are better by so doing. Many
of the applicants were never in the busi
ness. Some are taking on', papers for both
wholesale and retail licenses, so as to have
two chances in the "wheel of lortune."
aiAjrr our penx avenue.
The License Court will certainly be busy
if'tbe wards in other parts of the city are as
prolific of applicants as Lawrenceville and
Penn avenue. If the Judges grant as many
licenses in thn Fifteenth and Seventeenth
wards as will be asked for, then there will
be little room left for the other businesses.
Senator TTpperman was remarking last
night that he knew abont CO applicants in
the Fifteenth ward. There is a prevalent
notion floating around the neighborhood
that most of the men who apply for license
will be granted one. That will be seen fur
ther on, said a gentleman in the Senator's
office. Most of the people who hope to open
saloons in Penn avenue wards are the de
feated applicants of last year.
Quite a lew men are new at the business,
but these compose the minority of the appli
cants. It may be said with safety that the
applicants are men of good moral character
and have generally good recommendations.
In the Seventeenth ward it is reported that
there are 83 applications to be made tor
licenses. This ward has only one saloon in
it at present. Judge "White cut down the
licenses last year from nine to one. Pos
sibly this waVd has the largest amount of
new blood applying for license of any ward
along Penn avenue and Butler street.
The bixteentb ward has been dry for the
past year, but if all of TO applications are
granted at the coming sessions the probabili
ties are that it will be exceedingly wet
The Twelfth ward has five saloons in full
blast now, but if the number of applications
is taken as evidence of what the people
want there will be a complete revolution in
favor of booze. It is stated that nearly 100
men are going to ask to be permitted to sell
beer. This ward is the home of the working-man,
besides the spot where he toils
daily lor his bread.
In the Tenth, another labor ward, which
is not quite as large as the Twelfth, there
will be upwards of CO licenses asked for.
A number ot applicants was seen last night
They are confident of the success of their
petition. The constant argument they use
to convince one that they are certain is the
good names that are backing them. Most
of the license applicants are hustling to
secure only the best of signers.
CAES K0W KUXXING.
President Henry Managed Them Between
the Postofnee nnd Hirer.
The Pleasant Valley Street Bailway Com
pany yesterday put four of its new electric
cars in operation on its line. The cars were
run by President Henry himself between
the postoffice and the river. They attracted
a great deal of attention from people on the
street, crowds standing along the sidewalks
to watch them. They are peculiar in shape
and are beautifully painted, being black
with gold trimmings. As several horse
cars are still running, the electric cars will
make slow time until all the horse cars are
taken off. The electric cars running yester
day were all crowded with patrons.
TIETYED THE GROUND.
The Board Looks Into the Proposed Forbes
Avenne Widening.
The Board of Viewers went on theground
yesterday to ascertain if the property abut
ting would be sufficiently benefited to jus
tify the opening of Forbes avenue through
from Boyd street to Diamond street The
Board did not state the result of their inves
tigations, but will present their report at
the next meeting of Councils. Another
meeting of the Board will be necessary be
fore the report is made.
BUILDING KEW PLANTS.
The Work Which Mr. Wolf, of Philadelphia,
. Baa Under Way Strnnb's New Brewery
Large Additional Abattoir Batldlnga
on Herr'a Island A New York Scheme.
Mr. Otto C. "Wolf, the celebrated Phila
delphia engineer and architect, is stopping
at the Hotel Duquesne. Mr. Wolf is in
this city to superintend and advise in
various large building projects now under
way in Pittsburg.
One of the chief of his works is the erec
tion of an entirely new plant 'for Herman
Straub & Co., the Bloomfield brewers. That
firm will altogether relinquish their present
works, and have the new works erected on a
new plot of ground. The new establish
ment will be a complete one, somewhat
further up the street than the present brew
ery. 'Mr. Wolf has the contract to super
vise the erection of the buildings, which
will cost nearly (100,000. The contractors
for the bnilding are Ii. Benz & Bros., of
this city. The contracts for the machinery
have not yet been let, but will add at least
$50,000 to the cost oi the plant in addition
to that the firm has decided to put in a large
refrigerating plant at a cost $60,000. The
company is now in correspondence with
several houses on that item.
By the new plant Messrs. H. Straub &
Co. expect to at least double their capacity,
and to compete with the largest firms doing
business in this locality.
Mr. Wolf has also concluded another con
tract which is of some interest to Pittsburg
people. He has been selected as the archi
tect and supervising engineer for abattoir
works which will exceed anything within
reach of this city. Winter & Dellenbach,
on Herr's Island, have chosen him to super
vise the construction on that island of a
large hog abattoir, an oilhouse and a tan
nery. Mr. Wolf is also in consultation with par
ties in 'regard to the erection of a large stor
age warehouse in this city.
Mr. Wolf is a young man, and a casual
acquaintance could scarcely be convinced
that he is one of the leading architects of
Philadelphia. It was only last night at
the Duauesne. that he received a telegram
from New York announcing to him the wel
come news that he had been selected as ar
chitect of tbe great brewery plant to be
erected at once in that city by the Con
sumers' Brewing Company. The telegraphic
dispatches conveyed the information last
summer that, as a result of the for
mation and dictation of the brewers'
pool in that city, the retailers of
New York had formed a sort of co-operative
association, to make and sell all their own
beer. This association, although nothing
has been said of it in recent months, has
been completely organized, and is now about
to erect a great plant It is to be located on
Eastern boulevard, between Fifty-fourth
and Fiftv-fifth streets, near the East river.
Large pumping engine will draw from the
river the supply of water for the refriger
ating machines. The present annual con
sumption of the members of the Consumers'
Company is 200,000 barrels per year; while
the caDacity of the new plant wili be 350,000
barrels.
THE TARENTUM MURDER.
Detectives Working: on the Case Agree
That ConroyWaa Not a Party Grlflln
Supposed to be Far Away Stolen Jew
dry on the Sontbslde.
The work on the Tarentum murder is now
being done exclusively by Detectives Iang
horst, Gilkinson and Finney. They have
entirely relinquished the.idea that "Eggy"
Conroy had any connection with tbe crime,
but are still of the opinion that Peter Grif
fin was one of the murderers. Their
theory, in fact, is that Griffin is the man
who stood in the doorway and fired the shot
which killed Mrs. Budert
The information came very direct yester
day that all hope of catching Griffin lo
cally has been abandoned. The trail, which
was rather easy for seven or eight days, has
been entirely lost, and the local detectives
have no longer any hope of catching him
unless it be through tbe police authorities
in some distant Western city. It may be
said that one of the three detectives work
ing on the case, and the one who is the
oldest man in the business, has grave doubts
tnat Griffin even had anything whatever to
do with the crime. He believes that the
four men connected with the affair all lived
within five miles of Tarentum.
About three weeks ago a man called at an
Arlington avenue, Southside, grocery store
and leit a bundle, requesting the proprietor
to keep it until be called for it As the de
positor of the bundle failed to return, the
grocer became suspicious that something
was wrong and yesterday opened the pack
age, which contained a lot of jewelers' and
glass moldmakers' tools, representing in
value about $60.
CHA1EMAN ANDREWS.
HI Illne- Prevents Him From Spending;
an Afternoon In Pllt-bnrf
Word was received yesterday afternoon
by a number of local politicians that Chair
man W. H. Andrews would be at the
Seventh Avenue Hotel at 2 o'clock in the
afternoon. At that honr a number of gen
tlemen were waiting to see him, among
whom were District Attorney Lyon and
James Ii. Push, of Somerset Mr. Pugh
will be remembered as the member of
the last House who is known as the best
looking man in that body from the western
part ot the State. Mr. Andrews, for some
reason, did not arrive. His Drother,CharIes
J., came in during the day, and could say
only that W. H. was sick.
Mr. Andrews arrived in the city at 7:30
last evening, and had only time enough to
eat his snpper at the Union Depot restau
rant He said that he felt like not coming
at all. His appearance and voice indicated
that he would have been wise to remain at
home. Mr. Andiews said that he had been
laid up for ten days with the grip. He con
fessed that he was hardly able to be out
Pressing engagements, however, demanded
his presence in Washington, and he depart
ed for that city on the fast line at 83.0 F. M.
He was accompanied, as faras East Liberty,
by Collector Warmcastle.
L0CK11ART BOUGHT IT.
An Acknowledged Beed Settles the Owner
ship of Long Jc Co.'s ami.
The Sheriff yesterday made a deed of the
Vulcan Iron Works, Long & Co. late
owners, to Charles Locknart, proving that
a good many people guessed right on the
day of sale.
J. E. McKelvey, Esq., was questioned
concerning the matter, and though he was
almost as reticent as on previous occasions,
he said, it was the intention of the buyer or
if some one else not designated, to put the
mill to work and that soon. Mr. McKelvey
didn't talk as though he believed the objec
tions to the sale would hold water, but he
carefully refrained irom expressing any
opinion on the subject. A rollinc mill,
even in brisk business times, is an unwieldy
thing to handle in tbe matter of sale. In
the first place but few people have the loose
cash in their pocket to buy, and secondly
those who have may not have the training
necessary to make ownership profitable or
advisable.
The people of Chartiers will hail with de
light the announcement that the mill is to
be put in operation.
JI0SEI ON HAND.
The Central Board Library Bought a Number
of New Books.
The Library Committee of the Central
Board reorganized yesterday by the election
of Miss Jennie Balston, President; Miss M.
E. Hare, Secretary; N. A. Prondfit, Treas
urer; Miss Katie Neiper, Librarian. Treas
urer Prondfit reported that the amount of
money on hand January 1, was $6,060 01;
ance of $1 870 49. During the year f 1,890 49
were spent lor new books.
AN OPINION CONFUTED
James S. Young, Esq., Gives His
Views on the Library Hufidle.
THE CUT SOLICITOR ANSWERED.
Yarious Acts of Assembly Bearing on tbe
Hitter Looked Up.
MR. CAENEtiIE'6 IDEAS EXPLAINED
Andrew Carnegie's letter to the Pall Mall
Gazette, of London, of recent date, contains
an observation which seems to have escaped
local notice, but is nevertheless full of
meaning to the public, which has watched
with great interest the details of the present
squabble in Allegheny Councils over the
permanent control of the free library.
Mr. Carnegie devoted several sentences to
emphasizing the usefulness of a publje li
brary as an adjunct to educational advan
tages. His own experiences with the old
Anderson Library were detailed. Mr. Car
negie was making a quiet drive at some of
the Alleghenians who want to inject parti
san politics into the matter. From the first
he has believed that the Allegheny Board
of School Control should have a voice in the
permanent managementof the Free Library.
President James S. Young, of the Board
of School Control, was asked last night to
give his reading of Mr. Carnegie's mean
ing. He said: "It is an expression of hope
that the free library will be properly man
aged, with a view of conferring a benefit
upon the rising generation. It is a matter
of regret that Mr. Carnegie should find the
first controversy arising over any -of his
gifts in Allegheny City. Mr. Carnegie's ut
terance is very significant, and would in
dicate that in his opinion a public library
would be most efficient In promoting good
results if carried on as an auxiliary to
the public school system.
IN CLOSE CONNECTION.
"Mr. Carnegie must have seen the state
ment so frequently recurring in tbe papers
that the coarse ot instruction in tbe Alle
gheny High and other schools was' laid down
with the expectation that there would one
day be an adequate public library in Alle
gheny. He possibly had in his mind this
matter when he wrote to the Pall Mall
Gazette. He has more than once main
tained that schools and libraries sustained
the closest possible relations to each other."
"Ip regard to the legal aspects of the case,
Mr. -Young, have you read the opinion of
the City Solicitor?" was asked.
"I have," replied Mr. Young. "I not
only read and digested the opinion, but I
devoted considerable time to-day to the ex
amination of the various acts of AssembK
having a bearing upon the matter. I will
cheerlnlly give you the result of my ex
aminations. "Under tbe act of 1872 there can be no
question that the Board of School Control
has authority to, and is charged with, the
duty of raising funds by taxation for the
purposs of maintaining a public library for
the use of the teachers and scholars of the
city schools and also the general public
"At the time of passage of that act the
Board of School Control, as representing
the taxpayers of Allegheny, had acquired
the Anderson Library, which then con
sisted of 4,000 volumes. Since that time
the library has been maintained and in
creased to 12,000 volumes by school tax
levys. Many of the books are rare and
correspondingly valuable, and the library
is worth at least $20,000. The library, from
the time of the acquirement to the present
time, has been kept open without direct cost
to readers.
THE TAX QUESTION.
"Under the act or 1887 it is made competent
in any incorporated city in the Common
wealth for the proper authorities, presuma
bly Councils, to accept gifts of- real or per- j
sonal property, books, MBS., and so lortn,
and to appropriate money for the mainte
nance ot a library, but that act does not ex
pressly provide lor the raising of any money
by taxation for that purpose. It may,
therefore, well be questioned whether Coun
cils have the right, under the language of
that act, to raise money by taxation.
"But it appears irom the opinion given to
the City Property Committee by the "City
Solicitor, if that opinion was correctly
qnoted, that the act ot 1887 is not reliedton
for the authority to raise money by taxation
to maintain a public library, but -that the
act of 1877 is tbe anthority for such action.
There was an act passed in 1877 which pro
vided that in cities of the second class all
taxes for educational, eleemosynary and
other purposes, should be levied by the
Councils of such city.
"Under that act the Poor Board and Board
of Education of such city was directed to
submit to Councils in January a statement
of the amount of money which was required
to run those departments. Councils could
then add to the aggregate to be raised by
taxation such estimated sums as would be
required as above stated. Or could modify
the same, thus leaving it to Councils to de
termine the amount of money which should
be used for educational as well as other
purposes.
"And the opinion is certainly based upon
the assumption that under that act Councils
would be the only body that would have the
power to levy tax for any purpose, and
therefore the only body that could levy a
tax for the maintenance of a library. But
unfortunately there are three reasons why
that position is not correct First, the city ot
Allegheny is not a city of the second class,
its status as vet being undetermined: second.
the authority granted to Councils under the
act of 1877 to fix the amount which
the educational departments would receive
annually, was taken away in 1878 by an
act of Assembly which specifically "pro
vided that Councils should add to the
amount of taxes to be railed for all other
purposes, such sum as the Boards of Edu
cation should in their statement ask for,
without any power whatever in Councils to
modify or change the amount
"The reason for this change is apparent
to any thoughtful person. The Legislature
saw clearly that it would be unsafe and
extra-hazardous to the public school system
to allow any body foreign to the body to
whom was committed tbe- charge of the
pnblic schools, to determine the amount of
money necessary to the maintenance of the
school system.
THE TniBXt SEASON.
"Third The act of 1872
giving
to the
Board of School Control the right to levy
taxation for the maintenance'of a pnblic li
brary has never been repealed, nor will it
be repealed by any law obtaining in cities
of the second class, it Allegheny shall pass
into, the second class. Therefore, any argu
ment based upon the assumption that fJoun
cils is the only body that can levy taxes for
the maintenance of a public library is un
sound. "It is also assumed that Councils cannot
commit the management of the library to
any commission composed of persons put
side of City Councils. Such an assumption
is unsound. Councils could certainly depute
to a commission composed altogether of citi
zens, or of citizens, controllers and Council
men, the power and the duty of expending
such sums of money for the "maintenance of
the library as Councils should appropriate
for that purpose; leaving always to Councils
the authority to raise the money by taxa
tion and to fix tbe amount of the appropria
tion. They could also depute to such a
commission the duty of selecting competent
librarians and assistants. If there were
doubt as to this latter authority, any danger
of its legality could De avoided by Councils
Eroviding by ordinance that such selection
e ratified by Councils."
In this connection Mayor Pearson said
last night that he was in favor of having a
committee composed of the Presidents of
Select and Common Councils, the President
of the Board of School Control, three snch
citizens as A. M. Byers, James B. Scott and
Henry Phipps and the Mayor of Alle
gheny. "The Councils' Presidents are both a per
manency to au i:
His Honor, "the Mayor will serve a term of
three years and the citizens would De per
manent There would be a committee not
subject to fluctuations or changes."
PEYERISH H0FIKG.
Oar Western Snbnrb Ha the Oil Craze
Blonionr Ran and Cam-tiers Creek
Nervously Expectant Swing's Mills
People Congratulating; Each Other,
Comparatively few people know that a
ride of half an hour by rail from the city in
a roundabout direction will take them into
scenery asromantio and almost as primeval
as any to be found in tbe Allegheny Mount
ains, and yet leave them within eight miles,
as the crow flies, of the Allegheny
County Court House. The place referred
to is up Montour run, and within
a mile of the Allegheny river. Its beauty
is being sadly marred just now by the oil de
velopments, but the fortunate owners of
territory little reck the disfigurement so long
as the destruction of the forests contributes
to the golden flood promised, and lovers
of nature unadorned, comfort themselves
with the reflection that the destruction will
only be temporary, as the hillsides are too
precipitous to admit of cultivation until the
world is so densely populated as to drive
cultivators to haunts that would delight the
chamois.
A cloud of steam hung over the valley
yesterday morning, making the air look as
frosty as the precipitous cliffs, there being
no motion in tbe atmosphere to dissipate it,
and it condensed and fell in a shower near
where it was emitted. The small population
was largely congregated at Swing's Mills,
and each was congratulating his neighbor
over the wonderful fortune of Mr. Diep and
tbe Forest Oil Company, and each was
icverisujy bwuimuk iuc tiiuc nucu iuc urui
will be started on his place. While Diep
No. 1 is still keeping up its remarkable
record, No. 2 is claimed to be good for at
least 125 barrels, some say 160. These wells
are both in what was regarded as condemned
territory a few months ago. They get their
oil from the 100-foot sand, and it seems
strange that several ventures within a mile,
where the same sand was found, were
drowned by salt water. 8ome people think
'the drillers in the other wells made a mis
take in their calculations, or rather record,
and drilled too deeply, while others give
other reasons for failure.
The Montour Coal and Coke Company
found the sand on the west side of the creek
all right but not the oil. The company is
pushing into the gas sand.
Up in the Chartier belt they are pumping
the ArbuckleKo. 1 now, and she is making
75 barrels a day. She is steadily improving
in production since the pump was started.
She gives off enough gas to make steam for
two boilers.
No. 2 has not yet been shot though a man
started from Washington on Thursday with
a load of glycerine lor the purpose. Up to
noon yesterday he had not been heard from,
and Mr. Jamison could not say whether he
was in heaven or in a mud-hole somewhere
up the Chartiers Valley. As there has been
nothing heard of an unordered nitroglyc
erine explosion up that way, the man may
not have started, or may have been swamped
in the mud somewhere.
A CAPABLE MANAGER.
Mrs. George A. Kelly Speaks n Kind Word
for Miss Tlldeley The Expenses of the
Allegheny Hospital Are Exceedingly Law
Her Blanngomeat Commended.
The action of the retiring Board of Direc
tors of the Allegheny General Hospital
who, it is claimed, at the instance of one or
two of the attending physicians passed a
resolution at their last meeting advising tbe
incoming board to appoint a male superin
tendent in place of the present incumbent
Miss Tidesley, has caused considerable
comment among the friends of the institu
tion in Allegheny, and with a view of ascer
taining the general sentiment in the matter
a Dispatch reporter called on several per
sons intimately concerned and prominently
interested in the aflairs of tbe hospital.. A
call at the residences of several of the' staff
physicians proved iutile in results because
of their absence.
Mr. Peterson, a member of the old board
was seen, and while the tenor of his re
marks plainly showed a predilection for the
present superintendent and a marked ap
proval of her management, he declined to
express himself either for or against her
retention.
Mrs. George A. Kelly was next visited
and interrogated on the subject She said:
"I can only base my opinion by the results
of the management which show a degree of
perfection in every department which 'alike
merits praise and challenges better execu
tive ability. The economy which has char
acterized Miss Tildesley's superintendence
has shown her to be a most capable and
excellent manager. For several years the
earnings have been nearly sufficient to de
fray all the expenses of the institution; this
is really very wonderful because the hospital
Is small, has always been crowded with pa
tients and its resources are exceedingly lim
ited. The total expense of conducting the
hospital for the past year was carefully com
puted, and a comparison madeiwith the rec
ords of other hospitals in this country, a
complete list of which we had, showed tbe
amount to be proportionately less than any
other for that -period, while a very large
majority of them far exceeded this in the
amount of expenditure.
"I have been President of the Ladies So
ciety of the Allegheny Hospital since its
opening. We have nothing to do with the
control of the institution or the appoint
ment of its officers. Our field of labor is
confined alone to its support I must say,
however, that had the appointment of a su
perintendent been left to me,I should have felt
great hesitancy in selecting so yoang a per
son as Miss Tildesley for the position, though
the result ot her four years' management has
proven her eminent capability."
CLOSED JflE OFFICE ON TIME.
A Number of Delinquent Tax Payers
Who
Have Iioat Their Votes.
Yesterday being the last day for the pay
ment of taxes for election qualification, the
office of Delinquent Tax. Collector Ford was
crowded all day, and the doors could not be
closed as early as usnal. Mr. Ford said
that while the number who paid yesterday
was large, it was not as large as in previous
years. The office was closed at 5 o'clock.
Prior to the Presidental election it has been
customary to keep tbe office open on the last
day until 9 or 10 o'clock, but Mr. Ford has
decided that this is unnecessary, and will
not do so any more, consequently a great
many who put off the payment of their taxes
until the last moment were disappointed
when they called for that purpose last
night
PUTTING DP THE DUST.
Dnqnesne Heights I'eople Have $400 and
Only Need SSOO for Steps.
A meeting of Duquesne Heights citizens
has been called for Tuesday night to con
sider the question of building steps up the
hill. About (400 has already been sub
scrlcribed, and only $800 to do the work is
needed.
Mr. McComb, a property holder, said last
night that he thought the right of way could
easily be obtained trom the land owners. He
has discovered that a street coming down the
hill was located by the city, but has never
been opened. He claimed it was blocked
through Councilmanic influence. Mr. Mc
Comb says some of the citizens have asked
him to run for Councils against George L.
Holhday.

ference, in Music Hall, Cleveland, com
mencing Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock.
A letter was received in this city yesterday
from Miss Mary E. Ingersnll, Corresponding
Secretaryof the Non-Partisan W. C. T. U.,
of the State of O hio. The person to whom
the letter was addressed had written to Miss
Ingersoll, asking her to give the arrange
ments for the National Convention and to
reply to several statements that had Seen
made by persons who were evidently en
deavoring to decry the non-partisan move
ment. The following is Miss Ingersoll's
letter in mil:
The session of the National Convention will
ba held in Music Hall, which has the largest
seating capacity of any auditorium in the city,
and which has recently been placed in the
hands of the non-partisan W. C. T. U. of
Cleveland by Mr. W. H. Dean (who is a party
Prohibitionist), to be used by our union for
gospel temperance work.
Tbe convention will be entertained by the
citizens of Cleveland, who have always given
generous support and hearty sympathy to the
non-partisan union, which was one of the first
if not the first, organization of temperance
women formed in the country, but which with
drew from the State and National Union in
1885, immediately after the State Union in
dorsed the resolution passed at St. Louis by
the National Union, giving tbe influence of the
organization to the Prohibition party. Our
City Union has five separate institutions, has
erected one costing $53,000, and is probably the
strongest local union in the country.
INTEBEST IN THE MOVEMENT. ,
There is no means of knowing now how large
the representation at the convention will be,
although letters received from all over the
country indicate very great interest in the
movement not only on the part of temperance
women, but also of religious papers, of promt-
pent ministers ana pniianiuropists. we ao no:
anticipate that any large number of those who
form the new organization will be drawn from
tbe old one. We make no effort to secure this
result but only to bring together those who be
lieve that the right principle upon which to
conduct the temperance work is that upon
which men and women of all political parties,
as of all Christian denominations, can unite.
I do not imagine that there will be any
marked effect any general disintegration of
the old organization as the result of the forma
tion of the new. We do not aim to accomplish,
but only to call into our ranks the women who
have fallen out of tbe other because of the par
tisan policy, and those also who have never
been Identified with it for the same reason.
X can most emphatically assert that so far as
Ohio women are concerned, the Bepublican
party has no more to do with our organization
than the Queen of England has. We are, in
our State Union, as entirely independent of
that party as we are of the Prohibition party
or the Democratic party. Temperance men in
all parties support our work and work for us
when we ask it, as we often have done, in State
and municipal legislation, and tbe non-partisan
temperance women of Cleveland or of Ohio
will never attach their organizations to any
party. That is the principle npon which we
stand, and the only one upon which we can
hope for success. Mast E. Inqkesolu
Bach one of the women spoken to yester
day talked very hopefully of the Cleveland
convention. Cleveland was selected as tbe
place of meeting because several non
partisan unions have already been formed
there, and, in fact throughout the State of
Ohio. The Ohio W. C. T. U. indorsed the
St Louis resolution in 1885, and shortly
afterward several of the strongest unions in
the, State withdrew their connection, with
the State and national organizations. "
MODEST ABOUT NTTMBEBS.
Later more non-partisan unions were
formed, and in 1886 all these united in an
organization known as the Ohio Non-Partl-aan
W. C. T. U., of wliich Mrs. E. J. Phin
ney, of Cleveland, is President It is not ex
pected br the leaders of the 'non-partisan
movement that the new national union, if
one is formed, win rival in numoers tne pa
rent organization. Many women who sym
pathize with the new movement are expected
to hesitate to break away from the associa
tions of years. Many such have put their
money and more than a decade of labor into
institutions controlled by the so-called par
tisan unions. Many timid women will hesi
tate to join what may seem to them an un
certain movement
The new National Union will be largely
composed of women not willing to have their
influence, by a vote of that union, lent to
any political party, and who believe that a
political party test should never be pre
sented to a society of Christian women,
handed together to do gospel temperance
work, any more than it should be to a
Christian church.
Many of the local leaders in this move
ment are in their personal sympathies with
the Prohibition party. All of them believe
in the prohibition of the liquor traffic, and
in that sense are Prohibitionists. The ma
jority of them are veterans in temperance
work, having enlisted during the crusade of
1874.
Mrs. H. C. Campbell, of Allegheny, who
was elected President of the Pennsylvania
Union, Mrs. Harry White, who was'elected
Vice President at large, and Mrs. Ellen M.
Watson, the Corresponding Secretary, are
the principal delegates who will go trom
Western Pennsylvania to the Cleveland
convention. They will go Tuesday night.
A TELEPHONE BDRHED 0DT.
Tbe Trouble Said to be Caased by thePIeas-
ant Valley Wires Low Voltage Lines
Blast be Kept Clear A Fire Caased by a
Similar Accident.
yesterday morning a private telephone
line owned by the Allegheny County Light
Company, connecting their Pittsburg and
Allegheny stations, was burned out One of
the electricians of the company was sent out
to investigate.and claims he found the trouble
was caused by the wires ot the Pleasant Val
ley electric street railway. He say
that 'the telephone line ran over the
trolley wire of the railway company
on Duquesne way, near the Ninth street
bridge. The trolley on the cars is supported
by an upright, which presses on the under
side of the wire, and the strain iorces the
wire upward. . The electrician says
that the trolley wire had been pushed up so
high that it came in contact with the tele
phone line. The crossed wires caused the
current to flow 'from the trolley wire to the
telephone line, and charged the latter with
its nigh voltage of electricity. The heavy
current caused the insulation at both ends
of the telephone line, to be burned off and
rendered the line useless.
The officials of the light company say that
fires have been caused in buildings by
heavily charged currents coming into con
tact with telephone wires. A case of this
kind decrrred in New York a few months
ago. In this case, it was an electric light
wire that crossed with the telephone line
and the latter was burned into a white heat
A telephone box in an office on the line was
charred and Bizzled, but there was no flame
irom the burning instrument As soon as
it burned sufficiently to allow parts of it to
become detached, the burning wood fell
upon the floor and set fire to the carpet
Tbe fire wss discovered in time to prevent a
disastrous conflagration.
Tbe Organ Received.
The handsome Brackloff organ ordered by
the First Christian Church, corner Arch
and Montgomery avenue, Allegheny, was
received yesterday afternoon. It was manu
factured in Salem, Ohio, and cost $8,000. A
concert will be given by the church on the
30th, by which time the organ will be ready
for service.
BUTLER'S CONGO BILL.
It Will be Roasted by Ajax Jones and Other
Sable Orators A Big Indignation Meet
Ing Called A Southern Relief Scheme
for Colored Men.
The colored element of the city is in a
political foment, the principal reason being
that it is not recognized as it thinks it ought
to be. A meeting will be held next Thurs
day in Council chamber which might be
called an indignation meeting, to consider
Senator Butler's bill to expatriate colored
people to the Congo State. Messrs. Ajax
Jones, J. M. F. Foster, James C. Delpley
and Bichard Kcyes are the committee to
make the meeting a success, and they are
sanguine of showing that as native
born citizens of the United States they
have a right to be more properly
considered, and their rights more generally
acknowledged than to drive them to Africa.
The indignation meeting will be largely at
tended, as the Don Cameron Club has sent
ont to every colored man known to be in the
city a postal card calling the meeting. This
meeting is to be rather an important one, as
it will demand of the local representatives
an expression of opinion on the question of
expatriating American citizens by an act of
the national Congress.
This will interest white people fully as
much as the colored population, and the
meeting will be, it is expected, verr largely
attended. Just at this time when the politi
cal complications in tbe city and county are
so mixed as to afford an opportunity for tbe
colored vote to assert itself, which it seems
determined to do.
A national movement is also on foot
among the colored people under the name of
the Central Bnreau of Belief, from which
the following circular has been sent out in
dorsed by a large number of members of the
A. M. E. Conference, and members of Con
gress from every State in the Union:
Washington, D. C, October 31, 1889.
At a meeting of the above-named association.
held on tbe above dateafter a full interchange
of views upon the suffering condition of their
race in the Southern States, and in response to
many letters from that section urging action in
this matter, it was determined to be necessary
to hold a national convention for the purpose
Of taking some action to remedy these wrongs,
and the obtaining of tbe exercise of all po
litical and civil rights and privileges by colored
American citizens as are guaranteed to them
by the Constitution and laws of tbe United
States.
Therefore, in- pursuance of this action, the
Central Bureau of Belief has issned this call
for a national convention, to be composed of
delegates from the several States and Territo
ries, to be held atWashington.D.Cthe first Mon
day of ofFebruary,atl2 Jf.,S9Q. AU associations,
having for their purpose the objects as above
stated, are invited to representation in said
convention by one delegate from each organi
zation.
The objects to be obtained by tbe convention
are: First, to organize a national association
of colored American citizens, by which a united
and continuous effort shall be made to relieve
them from the personal outrages inflicted upon
them in tbe Southern States, and to obtain all
the rights of American citizens now denied
them in parts of this country: second, to ascer
tain the opposing influences that retard the
growth of their educational, moral and ma
terial Interests; third, to invoke Congress to
pass such legislation' as will enable the colored
Americans to exercise tbe right of franchise in
the Southern States without fear of molesta
tion; to pats tbe Blair educational bill, and
also pass a bill to pay the depositors of the
Freedmen's Bank in full of their deposits.
Tbe basis ot representation in this con
vention will be on the following scale:
Four delegates from each Congressional dis
trict of each State and alternates; four
delegates from each State at large and
alternates; four delegates from each Terri
tory with their alternates, and ten delegates
from the District of Columbia, representing,
as the circular states, a population of 250,
000. The delegates selected to represent the
colored population of Pennsylvania are as
follows: Ajax Jones, James C. Delphy,
Bichard Keyes, Broadax Smith, and J. If.
F. Foster, and from the delegates who were
seen yesterday a lively time is expected
when the meeting convenes. )
THE ENGINE TEST.
Chief Brown Relies More Upon His Men
Than His Engine. ,
Chief Brown, of the Department of Publio
Safety, last night said: "There will be a test
of the fire engines, I am happy to say. The
underwriters have appointed their judge,
and the conditions are now well known.
Just as soon as I am informed that the tanks
are ready the contest will commence. Our
engines are, I need not say, always ready,
and no time will be lost as soon
as the ground is said to be fitior the trial.
Of the outcome I can say nothing more than
I place every reliance upon the members of
my Fire Bureau. The engines might fail,
but the men will not, and there is a great
deal of strength in having brains and skill
directing a piece of machinery."
From talk with the various parties con
nected with the test it was gathered that it
would come off toward the end of this week
or the beginning of next, and as for the re
sults each side is sanguine of success.

NEW OIL TERRITORY.
Pittsbnrg Capital Helping to Deyetop
the Kentucky Field.
A BBFINEEI ALMOST COMPLETED.
Bi; BeToIution in the Oil Trade or the
Country Predicted.
BASE OF SOUTHBRH SUPPLY CHARGED
A number of Pittsburg capitalists are
largely interested' in the erection of a new
oil refinery at a small place called Oil City,
Barren connty, Ky., on the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad, about 110 miles south
of Louisville. The refinery is nearly com
pleted, and through it will be supplied a
large portion of the Southern and Southwest
ern oil trade. The refinery is owned
by the Kentucky Southern Oil and Gas
Company, which is composed of Northern
and Southern capitalists. Pittsburg has
contributed a large portion of the capital,
and nearly all tbe material for the erection
of the plant The iron and steel material
necessary for the construction of the tanks,
still and bleachers were made here.
Tbe refinery will begin operations with a
capacity of over 1,000 barrels per week. It
is tbe only one of any consequence in the
Sonth. It is located in the center of the
territory controlled by the company, which
includes nearly all that is developed in
Barren and Warren counties. It is re
garded by those interested here as an im
portant factor in the oil industry of the
country, as it will interfere largely with the
Northern market
A SAVING OK 7BEIOHT.
It means a change of the base of supply
to the South, and a saving of nearly 2 per
barrel to Southern consumers. Taking into
consideration the commercial location, the
saving in freight, and the quality of the oil,
as compared with the product of the Brad
ford and Washington fields, the opening up
of the Kentucky fields is regarded of in
estimable value to the South. Tbe South
ern trade, including the Southern exports,
is estimated to be at least 10,000 barrels
daily, and it is claimed for the new field
that this can be supplied.
A prominent manufacturer of this city,
who is interested in the development of the
Kentucky field, said yesterday: "The
starting of the new refinery will enable the
Kentucky Southern Oil and Gas Company
to supply a portion of the oil trade which
has heretofore drawn its supplies irom the
Northern fields. Naturally tbe people of
Kentucky feel very proud "of tbe outlook.
The refinery is modern in its construction
and is under the management of George
Sweetser, who is known as one of the pio
neers in the refining of oil. and who for sev
eral years was at the head of the Sweetser
Oil Company.
"The wells already completed in Barren
connty have a daily capacity of over 300
barrels, and it is believed that the territory
now developed will produce over 10,000
barrels per day. Oil operators recognize
in the Kentucky fields many favorable
features in the shape of shallow drilling
and light cost of operations, as compared
with work of that character in the North.
SAID TO BE GOOD OTX.
"The oil is of a superior qnality owing to
its large yield of illuminating products.
The geographical location is favorable, as a
saving of freight is afforded. Many believe
that a field has been opened up second only
to Bradford in its extent and value, and an
epoch is marked in the history of the com
mercial Soutb, which must attract attention,
not only from those of us directly interested
in the oil business, but all who can look ap
approvingly on tbe progress and advance
ment of the" Sonth and her commercial in
dustries." It was also learned from a reliable source
that Pittsburg, Buffalo and New York capi
talists were forming a syndicate to put down
twenty wells in tbe Barren county field,
operations to be commenced at once. The
new town, Oil City, only received its name
a few days ago. It is growing rapidly, and
is expected to have a large population very
soon. Many new enterprises are talked of
such as wood alcohol factories, barrel fac
tories and glass houses. With the advan
tages of natural gas in abundance, which
has proven of such inestimable value to
Pittsburg, the future outlook of Oil City is
of a bright character.

Jadse Slasle Gives tbe 'qnlre One Tsar
and Kino Qlontha A If err Trial Refasedr
Sheppard Also Gat a Salty Dose Easy
on earner and Packer.
The argument on tbe motion for a new
trill in the cases of Alderman W. H. Por
ter and Constables Elijah Sheppard, Thomas
Packer and Thomas Carney, who were con
victed of conspiracy, was heard yesterday
by Judges Slagle and Collier. The motion
for a new trial was based on the allegation
that conspiracy had not been proven beyond
a reasonable doubt
Thomas M. Marshall. J. E. O'Donnell
and W. J. Brennan argued for the defend
ants, maintaining that the law on con
spiracy was indefinite and vague; that there
was no evidence to show a prearrangement
to enter suits toZextort money, and that a
new trial should be granted to all thede-"
fendants. Mr. Brennan's efforts were
directed in behalf of Carney, he holding
that nothing had been shown to prove Car
ney's part in the conspiracy.
Ex-District Attorney Porter resisted the
motion, holding that the evidence justified
the verdict He had no objections to the
recommendations for mercy in the cases of
Packer and Carney, and referred to Packer's
previous good character.
Judge Slagle, after looking over the
papers, said be saw no reason to change the
rulings of the Court at the trial, and re
fused the motion. He then sentenced Alder
man Porter to pay a fine of 5500 and costs,
and undergo an imprisonment of one year
and nine months in the penitentiary. Shep
pard received ?300 fine and costs, and one
year and six months to the penitentiary;
Carney three months in jail, and Packer 30
days in jail.
The attorneys for the defense stated that
the cases would probably be taken to the
supreme court.
MARSHELL,
THE CASH GROCER,
WILL SAYE YOU MONEY,
COMMON SENSE VS NONSENSE.
TO THE PEOFXJ! OF Tm3 COMMUNITY:
The condition of our public roads has been
of interest to all of us for some months. I am
doing a business approximating $500,000, and
employ some 20 wagons in different parts of
our own and neighboring towns in the delivery
of goods. So this is a question In which I havo
an especial interest 1 have seen so many ar
ticles of a sentimental character that I would
like to show a little of tbe practical side.
Under ordinary conditions one driver with
one horse can delivery 5100 worth of my goods
In one day. For some months past owing to
the condition of the roads, I have had to send
two men and two horses to deliver $50 worth of
goods, making my expense of delivery four
times as great. Recently I sent three drivers
with three good horses' to deliver a little over
$50 worth of coods. I bare nemo but good
sized, sound horses, and in order to get good
drivers I pay the. highest wages more than is
paid by any other man in my business.
My repair bill is very large. Last quarter it
was JlfiO for 10 wagons, and this is only the be
ginning, for my wagons were new, and have
been so jacked and twisted they will be a con
stant bill of expense in the future.
This is no fancy sketch, but only a plain state
ment of what are to me very plain facts. My
"road tax," for this is what it amounts to, is
very much larger than all my other taxes com
bined. I am a law-abiding citizen have never
been arrested, and. in fact have never seen tha
inside of the Mayor's office or Court House.
It Is a notorious fact that our workhouse Is
so comfortably managed that men dally b'eak
our laws that they may be sentenced to it To
the class of people who are sent there the pun
ishment is a farce, and the lives of the crimi
nals there are more comfortable than the lives
of honest laboring men outside.
Now, why should I be taxed so heavily to
pamper criminals? and why should honest labor
ers be so discriminated against as to place a
premium on rascality T Why give further heed
to tbe sentimental gush of men who labor
chiefly in sewing societies, and know nothing of
practical, affairs of life 7 Why hire our crimi
nals at 30c per day to contractors who place
their work in competition with that of honest
men? Why tax the community farther to buy
farms for the support of lazy rascals? What
have the farmers done that they should be dis
criminated against? Why not sell the land ws
already have and buy long-handled hammers
and set our criminals to breaking stones on our
'public highways? Why provide elegant warm
workshops (palaces in appearance) for crimi
nals when honest men work outside in the
cold? Why not let practical common sense
rule in regard to criminals, when the lives of
honest laborers are so bitterly practical with
wages at $1 25 per day, with which to buy food
for their families, and the mockery of publio
schools staring at them and no money with
which to buy books?
Bell our palace workhouses; use the money to
buy books for our children, and make educa
tion free in reality as well as in name. Put our
criminals to breaking stone on our public high
ways, and make their labor at least as hard as -the
labor of honest men.
