LIVELY MEETING IN THE NINTH
The air was as full of politics yesterday as
the recent mild weather was fall ol grip,
spelled in the homely way pecnliar to Pitts
burg. The Republican primaries, the Dem
ocratic City Committee last night, and the
Democratic suggestive meetings bore more
than a suggestion of lively times in the po
litical world.
At the risk of losing his situation for re
turning the most worm-eaten statement in
the expurgated list of newspaper express
ions the political reporter of The Dispatch
has no hesitation in saying that the primar
ies last nicht passed off quietly. They re
sulted in the following choice:
For Mayor, H. L Gourley, 145 delegates;
for Controller, E. S. Morrow, 145 delegates;
for Treasurer, Major Joseph F. Denniston,
145 delegates.
The primaries last night, however, re
vealed some pecnliar complications which
were not set down in the bills, and some who
expected to be chosen by the people were
discomfited by either a weak support or a
defeat.
A YEBY LIGHT TOTE.
In the First district of the Fourteenth
ward the apathy occasioned by the fact of
no opposition being made in any of the three
tickets in the field was evidenced by the
placing of 4 votes for the delegates, W. R.
Ford, Lew T. Brown and James Sheppard
being, of course, elected. In the Third dis
trict of the Fourteenth for membership in
the Republican City Executive Committee
Alex. McKnight defeated George Sheppard
by 56 to 3. This was a surprise party for
the Citv Clerk, who had no idea of any op
position being in the field, and conseqnently
was found wantinir. John Flinn, secretary
and general manaeer of the "Old Dub" So
ciety, has called a meeting of the organiza
tion for this afternoon to celebrate the event
The location of the meeting has not yet been
named.
There is considerable speculation on the
Collectorship oi the Fort candidacy, and the
friends of Messrs. Case and Dravo are both
sanguine of the success of their favorites.
Yesterday afternoon Frank Case said that
affairs looked more hopeful than at any pre
vious time, and there were good grounds for
sticking to the guns.
The appointment of Bank Examiner is
virtually settled, and in about four weeks
or so George Sheppard, city clerk, will be
invested with the responsibilities of office in
that capacity. The telegrams of yesterday
morning stating that a friend of the Secre
tary of the Treasury was an applicant, and
would stand in Mr. Sheppard's way, was
traced up yesterday, and the gentleman
himself seen.
LOOKS LIKE SHEPPAKD.
He acknowledged that he had been in the
race, but was satisfied that George Sheppard
would be the appointee. He requested that
his name would not be used, as he said the
race was a free-for-all, and he went into it in
good faith, cut did not wish to have himself
paraded as the beaten candidate. The way
is now clear for Mr. Sheppard.
The preparations for the May primaries
for county offices are now well under way.
The indications are that James Wier will
this time get the nomination, vice J. Y.
McKee, without any opposition. The Re
publicans of Pittsburg have decided, it ap
pears, upon Robert E. Mercer to represent
the interests of the city proper. The North
side Republicans, who feel somewhat
slighted, both on acconnt of the treatment of
their candidate, James Wier, at the last
county convention, and the fact that the
N orthside has not been recognized in the
Board of Commissioners for nine years,have
resolved to pnt him forward again as a dele
gate, and no opposition will be made for the
nomination.
OUT PEN IT AVENUE.
An nnusual degree of interest was mani
fested in the elections of the Seventeenth
and Eighteenth wards, and anxious crowds
gathered at the various precincts and ward
headquarters and awaited with evident
anxiety the final returns. The following is
the official count:
Seventeenth ward Alderman, A. H.
Leslie. Council, Hugh Ferguson, 892;
Miller Elliott, 880; George Metcalf, 903.
School Directors, J C. Smitb, 410; George
Might, Jr., 511. Constable, J. C. Rivers.
Eighteenth ward Select Council, Joseph
Henderson. Common Council, Phillip
Dressing. School Directors, N. F. Forsh,
"William Conners, Henry Gram. Alder
man. William Hays, nonstable, J. J.
Gehring. City Convention, James H. Clincb.
Assessor, George Ballard.
The Republican Executive Committee of
the Twenty-eighth ward met last night, and
made a departure rrom the usual way of
rnnning the primaries in their ward.
Heretofore it has been the custom for the
Republican voters to meet at the school
house, and suggest and nominate candidates
the same night. This year the suggestion
meeting will be held next Saturday, and on
the following Saturday the primaries will
be held in the same manner as an ordinary
election.
It was decided to do this for the sake of
giving better satisfaction in the Council
manic contest between "Tobe" McCarry,
the present Common Councilman from that
ward, who is running for Select Council,
and his opponent John Hennessey. The
fight between McCurry and Hennessey is
going to be pretty warm.
The Twenty-sixth ward Executive Com
mittee met last night and fixed next Saturday
as the date for their suggestion meeting and
the following Saturday lor the primaries.
IK DEMOCRATIC CIECLES.
The meeting of the City Committee of the
County Democracy last night in Common
Council chamber was one of those peculiar
chemical combinations where the introduc
tion of one drop of a foreign element de
stroys the affinity. Pat Foley wielded the
mace of authority and the gavel of the
Chairman with which he was prepared to
knock out any attempt to disturb the chemi
cal affinity existing in the Democratic party
ol Pittsburg.
John Ennis, who is well known in Demo
cratic politics of this city, was the disturb
ing element. It was claimed by many of
those present, and his first question as to
tbe antbority of the Chair to place delegates
to fill vacancies on the CJty Committee was
promptly answered by iae statement that
no authority was needed beyond precedent,
which had established the rule and thai
would suffice.
The whole meeting appeared somewhat
uncomfortable, and each man looked around
to see if his nearest neighbor was not about
to spring a substitute for Judge Bailey on
the Mayoralty track. One member of the
committee said after the meeting was over:
"If the Judge's health holds ont and he re
mains in tbe field, I suppose he will be the
candidate; but there is a good deal of side
talk about Dr. Wylie, Alderman McKenna
and Tom Kerr. The latter I regard as the
most favorable compromise candidate, and
if he had been put to the front at first I
should have thought him stronger than even
Judge Bailey. His general acquaintance is
wider, probably, than the Judge's, and he
need not depend upon Republican votes,
either, for his support."
PEOCEEDINGS IN DETAIL.
Tbe few passages which occurred during
the session of the City Committee were re
garded by the majority as pleasant little
Tariationsof the Donnybrook Fair variety,
which merely removed the monotony oi the
eveniug and interfered withjno liberties
save the right to press a motion to adjourn.
T. O'Leary, Jr., and W. J. Brennen acted
as secretaries, and the proceedings were as
follows:
Chairman Foley announced that were had
been several vacancies in the list of dele
gates to the City Committee, which he and
other members o'f the committee had filled
by appointment.
John Ennis said he wonld like to know
what authority Mr. Foley had to fill vacan
cies. Chairman Foley replied that it was by
right of precedent. He was not around
reading or looking up authorities. Mr.
Ennis insisted that a rule be shown giving
the Chairman the authority to fill vacancies.
The Chairman refused positively to show
any rule, and the debate was interrupted by
John Jiles offering the following resolution:
A DISCUSSION FOLLOWED.
Resolved. That the primaries for the election
of the delegates -to the City Democratic Con
vention be held on Saturday, tbe 1st of Febru
ary, 1890. between the hours of 5 and 7 o'clock
p. 31., at tbe usual polling places; and that the
convention be held on Tuesday, the 4th of Feb
ruary, at 2 o'clock F. il. at such place as the
Chairman ol the City committee snail desig
nate. Mr. Mullen moved that the convention be
held at 7 o'clock P. M. instead of 2 o'clock,
so that delegates need not lose a day's work
to attend.
Mr. Ennis said that they had seen enough
of afternoon conventions, and he remem
bered one where they had been annoyed by
a big crowd.
"The gentleman brought the crowd there
himself," replied Mr. Foley.
Mr. Ennis admitted that he did, and in
the interest of his candidate.
An amendment fixing Wednesday, the
5th, at 7:30 P. M., for the convention was
offered and adopted.
Michael Gardner said he hoped there
wouldbc no growling, as there is but one
candidate Judge Bailey, and they might
as well nominate him now. On motion of
Mr. Can the Chairman was authorized to
secure a place in which to hold the conven
tion. THE MOTION NOT ENTEBTAINED.
Mr. Ennis said that as the City Committee
got a cold deal at the last convention he
would move that each member of the com
mittee be given a ticket to the convention.
The Chairman refused to entertain the
motion, saying that the body had no power
over the convention, and as soon as the
Chairman of the City Committee called the
convention to order and a temporary organ
ization was effected the City Committee's
connection with it ended.
Mr. Ennis insisted, but he was cut short
by a motion to adjourn, and the committee
adjourned sine die.
A LIVELT GATHEBING.
The Democratic love feasts were numer
ous last night, the squabble over the Eight
eenth ward Select Council nomination giv
ing place to the Aldermanic fight in the
Ninth, which, although the ward number is
but half of the other, is doubled in intensity.
There was a suggestion meeting held in the
Ralston Scheolhouse to get a candi
date to put in the field against the
present incumbent, Alderman O'Donnell.
There were numerous suggestions made
of all kinds before the suggestion
to adjourn was considered. Joseph
Snyder presided, and he had his hands full.
The meeting was a great improvement upon
the City Committee's reunion in the point of
liveliness, as it took eight policemen to re
press the ardor of the disputants.
Still it was comparatively orderly, as not
more than four or five hand-to-hand en
counters occurred in the course of the even
ing to disturb the serenity ot the occasion.
In the first place it was discovered that
quite a number of persons were present who
were not residents of the ward, and they
seemed to be such an eyesore that their re
moval was adjudged a necessity. The
meeting was then turned into a regular
nomination one, and suggestions were
changed into mandates. A resolution was
passed dispensing with the idle formality of
primaries in the Aldermanic dispute, and
John A. Donovan was nominated as the
Democratic candidate against J. C. O'Don
nell. Mart Brophy was named for Select
Council and J. J. McGuire for Common on
the Democratic ticket.
After the meeting was over Alderman
O'Donnell said he had had his name with
held because the hall was packed with non
residents of the ward, and no qualifications
were demanded for voting. This, he said,
would have resulted in his defeat for re
nomination and he did not propose to sub
mit his name to the insult of rejection by
men who could neither vote for nor against
him.
IN THE FIBST WAED.
The First ward usually shows tip some
very pretty skirmishing whether on the
night of the primaries or on the day of elec
tion, and last night proved no exception to
the rule. 'Charles Lawrence in the First
district, an avowed Cassiday man,
has been, it is said, a Gourley
delegate for two vears, Martin Foley, a
warm friend of Donaho, yesterday an
nounced himself as a delegate for Gourley
against Lawrence. The latter was a victor
in the race by 31 to 3 votes. This is one of
the peculiar nps and downs of politics,
principally downs.
At the primaries held in the Third dis
trict of the Fi'thward last night resolutions
were adopted indorsing Thomas H. White
as an independent candidate for Common
Council and pledging him the support of
the Republicans of the district.
HUNTLNG FOE HER HUSBAKD.
A Cleveland Woman Tracks Her Trannt
Lord to Plltibarff.
Mrs.Peter Burns, a well-dressed and neat
looking woman, carrying a healthy-looking
and comfortably-clad 12-months-old babe in
her arms, called at the office of Chief Brown
yesterday afternoon and asked forassistance.
Mrs. Burns stated that she arrived in this
city from Cleveland yesterday morning in
search of her husband, Peter Burns, who has
been missing for six months. She was mar
ried six years ago, and her husband was
good and kind and temperate.
Six months ago Bnrns suddenly collected
all his money and skipped out. Mrs. Burns
came on here to look for him. Being out
of funds she appealed to the Department of
Charities and Mr. Elliot offered her a pass
back to Cleveland, but she refused to accept
it, preferring to remain here and hunt up
her husband. Mrs. Burns was finally given
quarters in the matron's department at the
Central station, and an effort will be made
to find her husband.

about 11 o'clock last night, as the car was
passing St Agnes' Church, Soho, by a large
stone striking the roof of the car.
It had evidently been thrown from the
hillside above Fifth avenue, but fortunately
no damage was done. Police Captain Mer
cer was getting on the car at the time and
started to find the person who threw the
stone. He searched for'some time, but could
not locate the party.

METEORIC SHOWERS.
Their Visitations of Periodical Oc
currence, bnt Frequent.
PECULIARITIES OP DISPLAYS.
Recent Observations of the San Bring Oat
Kew Features.
THE MAGNETIC THEOEI SUSTAINED
It was currently reported throughout the
city yesterday that a meteor had been seen
the night before. It was reported to be of
considerable size with a long tail appended
to it Those who claim to have seen it say
it passed directly over the moon about 10
o'clock. A Dispatch representative called
on Prof. F. W. Very, of the Allegheny Ob
servatory yesterday, but he had not seen the
meteoric display. In answer to several
questions recarding the frequency of meteoric
showers, Prof. Very said:
"There are certain epochs in the year
when particular meteoric showers are clue.
Assiduous observation has given a list of
nearly 100 such showers in the course of a
year, each of which may be expected
on a certain date from a certain
part of the heavens. Particular show
ers have characteristic features; that
is, some meteors are very swift; others
rather slow. Some vanish and leave no trace,
while others are accompanied by tails and
leave streaks after tbe nucleus has disap
peared. Few of these showers last more
than one or two days, though there are some
instances where it is suspected that suc
cessive meteors belonging to the same group
appear during several weeks. Certain dates
have been noticed to be more especially fire
ball epochs. That is, the rare event of an
exceptionally large and brilliant meteor or
fireball is more apt to occur on certain
dates.
NOT A FIBE BALL DATE.
"Last night was not a fire ball date, nor
was it in the vicinity of one. January 25
is tbe date of the meteoric shower character
ized by the swiftness of its components,
which are usually attended by streaks. The
radiant point of this shower is in tbe con
stellation called Bernice's Hair, a star
cluster one of the morning constellations.
As this meteor is claimed to have been seen
in the evening it is more likely to have
been one of the unclassified sporadic mete
ors. Information as to the position, direc
tion of motion, apparent brilliancy, color,
time of appearance and length of time dur
ing which the appearance lasted is likely to
be valuable in the recovery of the principal
characteristics of an event which is necessar
ily seen by but few."
"How do you account for these meteoric
showers coming at regular periods?" was
asked.
"All we can say is that the celestial
spaces are thinly populated in every direc
tion with these scattered fragments, which
are veritable miniature planets traveling in
definite orbits around the snn in many in
stances, and serving as messengers from one
star to another in others.
A COUOTXESS NUMBER.
The number of them is simply countless.
They make up in number what they laok in
size, so that if we could eather together all
the minute members that go to make up a
group, it might make a body of very re
spectable size, although the individual com
ponents are so small that thev seldom escape
complete disintegration and dissolution in
their passage through the atmosphere."
"What produces the great light which
always follows the passage of a meteor?"
"The light which is seen while the passage
of a meteor through the air lasts may be due
partly to the combustion of the materials of
the air of life, but it is mainly an incan
descence of the condensed atmosphere which
accumulates in advance of an object which
is moving many timet the rapidity of a can
non ball, often, I may say, with many hun
dred times the rapidity of a cannon ball.
Under these conditions even the seemingly
flimsy resistance of the air becomes as great
as that of a solid body producing intense
beat, and in the case of a large meteoric
stone, frequently resulting in the fracture
and demolition of the object.
tints in the flame.
"Colored meteors are sometimes seen with
a peculiar tint of the flame, being due to the
burning of some special Ingredient ot the
meteor. "We have yellow, green and occa
sionally red meteors, but the majority are
white like the majority of the stars'. It
cannot be said that any one part of the
earth can be more affected by these visitants
than another. There is, however, a diurnal
periodicity, the larger numbers being seen
in the early morning hours when that por
tion of the heavens comes in view toward
which the orbital motion of the earth is
carrying us. "We then see not merely the
comparatively few meteors whose speed is
sufficient to enable them to overtake the
earth, but that larger number composed of
all those which are gathered up in the track
of the advancing earth, whether moving
with, against or athwart its course."
During the course of the conversation
with Prof. Very the latter said that the re
sults of the observation of the eclipse of
January 1, 1889, had just been received.
They are considered of much importance
to the astronomic world, as many new things
have been revealed. In this connection
Prof. Very said:
"The recent appearance of the collected
results of the observation of the total eclipse
of January 1, 1889, shows that this event
has added many interesting facts to the pre
vious knowledge ot such occurrences. A
large and very perfect photograph of the
corona was obtained by Prof. Wm. H. Pick
ering, of Cambridge, Mass., "and one of a
smaller size by Prof. Barnard, of the Lick
Observatory. These show the sheaves of
CUELING FILAMENTS
about the sun's poles in great detail, indi
cating the composite nature of many of the
individnal filaments, and confirming the
photographs taken at the previous sun spot
minimum of 1878, thus rendering it almost
certain that tbe corona at this period as
sumes a symmetrical form with regularly
disposed filaments curving away on either
side of the sun's axis and broad equatorial
wiogs of less discriminated strncture.
"All this is very different from what is
seen during an eclipse when the activity ot
the sun is in its height. At such times the
corona has a rudely quadrilateral outline.
with four wines projecting from-regions arj-
proxiniaiely 40 north and south of the
equator, and the whole is made up of
curved branching and interlacing streamers
extending ta a much greater distance from
tbe body of the sun, and with the equatorial
sheaves less symmetrically disposed. In
regard to the extent of the corona,
it is difficult to compare successive
eclipses observed from different parts
of the earth with very varying atmos
pheric condition. A small amount of
haze will blot out much of the fainter
detail. The presence or absence of some of
these fainter features may merely signify
the presence or absence of the condition of
their observation, but the variation of type
is a thing beyond question. We seem to
have a connection indicated between the
broad equatorial wings and the sun spot
zones. When the solar activity begins
again the eruptions which make the prom
inences or red flames, which cluster in great
est number about the sun spot Tones, seems
to produce an increase in the floating dust,
which is carried up into the outlying re
gions of the corona over these areas of dis
turbance. As the spot epoch dies away the
latitudes of tbe
BEOIONS OB" DISTUEBANCE
diminish, and the coronal wings follow, ap
proaching the equator more nearly at this
time. Simultaneously the diminution of
the atmospheric forces of upheaval seems to
give room for the manifestation of forces
whose action are at other times obscured.
The nature of these forces must be a matter
ot conjecture, but it is worthy of note that a
carefui analysis of the positions which
would be assumed by matters arranged no.
der the influence of magnetic lines of force
symmetrically disposed around the sun's
axis has been shown by Prof. Bigelow, to
yield a picture which is almost identical
with the disposition of the filaments of the
polar corontc.
"The objection has been made to any mag
netic theory of the sun's corona on the
ground that magnetism in a heated body,
such as the sun undoubtedly is, disappears.
But objections have to fall before facts, and
although we may not be able to show at
present how an intensely heated body may
continue to be a powerful magnet the un
doubted influence of solar phenomenal,
upon terrestrial'magnetism, and the coinci
dence between the results of the analysis by
spherical harmonics as applied to the mag
netic lines of force and the actual disposi
tion of the radiating filaments of the sun's
corona, compels us to'.infer.what indeed ap
pearances had already led some of us to con
jecture, that the corona is inmany respects
similar to the aurora borealis or northern
lights and therefore largely an electric or
magnetic effect."
A COMMISSION INSPECTION.
Carneeie Free Library and Music Hnll Offi
cially Pronounced Finished All the
Members Present Excepting-Mr. Phlpps
Mr. Carnegie' Portrait on Private View
Chairman Scott Complimented.
Carnegie Free Library and Music Hall
was officially inspected by the Carnegie
Building Commission yesterday and pro
nounced finished, as it really is with the ex
ception of some trifling details.
With the exception of Mr. Henry Phipps,
who is floating up the river Kile, in Africa,
on a dahabeyah, tbe entire commission was
present. Mr. James B. Scott, Chairman;
Mr. Adam Ammon, Mr. T. A. Parke, Mr.
John Walker, Mr. G. W. Snaman, Mr.
Arthur Kennedy and Mr. Charles Davis,
consulting engineer, comprised the group of
gentlemen present. Mr. Adam Ammon
takes the place of Hon. Hugh Fleming, de
ceased. Mr. Gray's death left a vacancy,
but it had not been filled.
The entire building was gone over in de
tail, and the exquisite taste which has pre
vailed in the final arrangements ot the
original plans received the highest com
mendation from the members of the commis
sion. Music Hall, with its noble Roosevelt
organ, was especially praised, and the gen
tlemen lingered long in the critical inspec
tion of the final features of the library
proper. By leqnest Mr. Bryan Wall, the
artist who has painted Mr. Carnegie's por
trait for the huge gilt frame which forms the
centerpiece of the great fire-place in the
Library, was present and fitted up his mas
terpiece in the frame for a few moments.
The portrait is a clearly-cut and accurate
likeness of "the Star Spangled Scotchman"
and will be permanently placed in a iew
days.
After every portion of the edifice had been
gone over the commission held a formal
meeting in the small art e-allerv and accord
ed a formal vote of thanks to the Chairman,
Mr. James B. Scott, for his virtual superin
tendence of the practical details of the con
struction of the buildings, and his indefati
gable exertions whileservingin that capacity.
Some trifling details were attended to, and
the commission adjourned.
The musical columns of The Disfatch
this morning give the public some further
information as to the date of opening and
the good things which may be expected by
the public.
A TEEK1BLE CHARGE MADE.
Jennie Kynn, of fehnrpibnrs. In Jail on a
Charge of Chlld-Mnrder.
Jennie Ryan, of Sharpsburg, lies in the
county jail under a charge of murder, con
sisting of alleged infanticide. The case
awaits the Coroner's investigation.
Some repairs near the stable of Mr.
Forsyth, a Sharpsburg teamster, were be
ing made by a laborer named John
Habaugh, on Friday morning last. The
body of an infant was brought to light.
Habaugh had started for the river to throw
the body in, when James Byan, Forsyth's
stable boss, met him, and had the body
carried to Holzenbach's livery stable.
Coroner McDowell was notified and deputed
his deputy, Mr. Berry, who instituted an in
vestigation yesterday morning. A post
mortem was held by Drs. Kelly and Frazier,
who found that the sex was male and that it
had lived two days. From appearances the
child had been buried under debris and
thereby suffocated.
Suspicion fell upon Jennie Byan, the 18-year-old
daughter of James Byan. She
was closely questioned, but absolutely re
fused to make a statement. She refused to
be subjected to a medical examination, and,
as a culmination of attendant circumstances,
was placed under arrest. Habaugh, who
discovered the body, was placed in detentiou.
The inquest will be resumed at 4 o'clock
this afternoon.

Manager J. H. Johnston, of the Exposi
tion Society, returned yesterday from New
York, where he has been for the last two
weeks figuring with the managers ot the
most prominent musical organizations of
the country for their appearance in Pitts
burg under the auspices of the Exposi
tion Society. Mr. Johnston was seen last
evening at his japartments in the St.
Charles Hotel, and when asked what ar
rangements he had made for the entertain
ment of Pittsburgers said:
"I saw the managers of a number of
musical organizations while I was East, with
a view of having them appear in Pittsburg
in the early part of the coming summer.
The cost, as you can fully realize, for a
first-class organization will be no small
amount of money. My idea in all things
of that kind is to have only first-class organ
izations for two reasons; first, the public to
whom we are catering would not consent to
patronize an inferior or cheap entertain
ment, and the other is that the Board of Di
rectors would not consent, and I would not
recommend anything but first-class organi
zations. That, you know, means the outlay
of considerable money and the assuming on
the part of the Board of Directors of a fairly
sized contract.
ONLY FIEST-CI.AS3 MUSIC.
"Whether they will be willing to do that
or whether they can see their way clear is
for them to say, and will be made known
after the meeting on Tuesday next. In a
matter involving several thousands of dol
lars, of course you will understand, before I
can close any engagements positively I must
present the facts to them and secure their
approval. I think we are all of one mind
in the matter of holding sum
mer night concerts, as suggested
by The Dispatch, but of course
for prudential financial reasons we must
look before iwe leap.
"By the way, while thinking the matter
over to-day, it has occurred to me there may
be, and doubtless are in Pittsburg, like I
have found in other cities, men of generous,
liberal impulses, who are great lovers of
music, and who may feel disposed to offer
substantial encouragement in the matter of
a specific guarantee to make our directors
feel that they are not assuming the entire
responsibility.
It must be born in mind, and I think it is
clearly apparent to everyone that the Ex
position directors, no matter how great the
success of the enterprise, make no money
for themselves individually. That same re
mark applies equally to the stockholders.
SOME FIGURES SECURES. ,
"That being the case they necessarily con
sider every question looking to the expendi
ture of money or contracting obligations
against the society with the greatest care. I
will simply say to you that I have seen four
of the best musical organizations in the
United States with a view to bringing them
to Pittsburg. I have obtained their figures
and ascertained the dates on which they
could be secured to give entertainments in
this city. I have lound out the terms.
and, in tact, everything as far as
I can go. All that remains now
is to make the selection ot the one deemed
most advisable, and find out whether the
board, as a board, will assume the responsi
bility. I may say that I have (treat hopes
.that a plan may be adopted whereby the
scheme can be carried out.
"I know the vast amount of pleasure it
will give our people, especially in the sum
mer season when the theaters are closed.
These organizations will fill the bill happily
and pleasantly, and I cannot for one mo
ment think there will be a bit of risk to
those who will assist the directors in the
way of a guarantee. Entertainments of a
similar character have been successful in
other cities, and there is no reason that I
know of why they should not be in Pitts
burg. That is all I have to say in relation
to the matter just now, but at the meeting
of the directors next Tuesday something
definite will probably be decided upon."
WEIGHT, MASS AND TIME,
The Subject of a Lecture by Prof. Menden
ball at tbe Pittsburg Female College.
T. C. Mendenhall, a short, corpulent
bald-headed gentleman, of pleasing address,
is registered at the Hotel Anderson, giving
Washington, D. C, as his place of resi
dence. He is Superintendent of the United
States Coast and Geodetic Survey,
and last evening he lectured be
fore the Engineers' Club in the chapel
of the Pittsburg Female College on the
units of length, mass and time in the United
States.
He explained the foundations of our
present system of weights and measure and
wherein they are defective. He particularly
urged upon all engineers to fix upon a
standard system and try to make it univer
sal. The metric system is the only one
which has ever been authorized by
the Congress of the United States.
After the lecture he was introduced
to the members of the club by Prof. Bras
hear. Among'those present were Chancellor
Golf, of the Western U niversity and Uounty
Surveyor Davis.
Mr. Mendenhall is returning from a trip
through the West, and will leave this morn
ing at 8 o'clock over the Pennsylvania Kail
road for Washington.
A CANDIDATE ARRESTED.
A Well-Known Southside Resident Charged
with Iinrceny.
John Block, of the Twenty-sixth ward,
was placed under bail yesterday for a hear
ing to-morrow before Alderman McGary
on a charge of larceny. The case is a pecul
iar one and has created considerable agita
tion among Mr. Block's friends. The de
fendant is one of the best kno?n residents
of the ward and has announced himself as
a candidate for Constable, a position now
held by Mr. Lindner, who yesterday morn
ing arrested Mr. Block.
Constable Lindner said last night that
while passing the feed store of Henry Bat
tleman on South Eighteenth street, he saw
a man carry out a bag of feed, deposit it in
his wagon and drive away. An investiga
tion of Block's premises resulted in the ar
rest. An effort was made to see Mr. Block
to get bis side of the story, but he could not
be found.
MB. CARNEGIE SIGNED THEM.
The
Petitions for tbe Lawrencevlllo Park
Ready for Congress.
Tbe petitions that have been in circula
tion for some time past in the Twelfth, Fif
teenth, Sixteenth, Seventeenth and Eight
eenth wards, asking Congress to grant a por
tion of the arsenal grounds for park pur
poses, have all been called in. Postmaster
Patterson, of Station B, Lawrenceville, who
has had charge ot the matter, desires to for
ward them to Washington at once.
The papers are by this time rather bulky,
as there have been some 6,000 autographs at
tached to them. Among the signatures on
one of the petitions is that of Mr. Andrew
Carnegie, together with others of well-known
local lame.
Accused of Stealing Harness.
Lewis Linn, & driver for the Allegheny
Express Company, was arrested yesterday
afternoon by Detective Fitzgerald on com
plaint of his employer, who accused him of
stealing two sets of harness from the com
pany's stable.
TO THE FRONT AGAIN.
The Yellow Row Keepiog Up Its Reputa
tion Llentennnt Denniston Badly Used
Up Jack McCool Raised the Rumpus
Spectators Refuse to Help the Poller.
The Yellow Bow was the scene of another
scrimmage of a lively character last night,
in which Officer John Eoach came off first
best, while Lieutenant Denniston got a
rough handling. About 8 o'clock the
officers were called to quell a disturbance in
one of the houses in the row. On going to
the place they found a man who gave his
name as John McCool, but who is known
to the police as Jack McKeever, raising a
disturbance.
On seeing the officers McCool showed
fight, and was assisted by the other inmates
of. the room; both men and women joined in
the affray, and things looked rather blue for
the officers. About this time Lieutenant
Denniston put in an appearance and took a
hand in the right, the result of which was
that McCool and the Lieutenant rolled
down a long flight of stairs together, but the
officer gallantly held on to his prisoner.
All the inmates of the house,
namely, Susie Flannigan, Lilly Brit
ton, Catherine Keating, John Mc
Cool and John Coyne were placed
under arrest and locked up in the Central
station. McCool was covered with blood,
which flowed from wounds on his head, in
flicted by the officers' clnbs.
As fs usual in rows in and about the
Yellow Bow, a crowd of about 200 people
gathered, and having no particular love for
the officers, refused to aid them in the arrest
of the prisoners or in any other way.
LADGHED AT THE FINEST.
An
IS-Year-Old Poolroom Habitant In the
Law's Clutches.
Officer Eckert, of Allegheny, began the
work of breaking up the practice of loafing
about poolrooms, as sanctioned by Mayor
Pearson, by arresting an 18-year-old youth
last night at 19 Federal street.
A. crowd of young men of about his own
age was standing along the curb last even
ing, making remarks in an undertone to the
women and young girls passing by. One of
them spoke loud enough for the officer to
hear, and he warned him to cease. The
J'oung man walked into the poolroom and
aughed at the officer, when the latter went
after him and arrested him, while tbe rest
of the crowd took a hurried walk. The
prisoner gave his name as Edward Marsh,
and was locked up for a hearing this morn
ing. fltill Another Oakland Fire.
That the recent fires at Oakland have
been the result of incendiarism is disputed
in the case of the fire at Mr. Casey's new
row on Fifth avenue; yet the circumstances
point to incendiarism in the Oakland dis
trict all the same. On Thursday night a
fire which was undoubtedly incendiary, was
discovered in a new house on Sylvan ave
nne near 'Coquet street, which was being
built by Contractor Bossinger for Mr. J. L.
S.Kellner. It was extinguished without
much loss.

A COMPROMISE TO ELECT ALLISON
Colonel H. X. Swords, of Iowa, arrived
in Pittsburg yesterdayjtearrag with him a
telegram from Secretary- Windom, instruct
ing him to wait upon Postmaster-elect Mc
Kean, of Pittsburgh and accord every
facility to him in the matter of new fur
nishings and appointments for the post
office. The two centlemen met and got
down to business, and started in at the post
office. Colonel Swords is tall, gray-haired, al
though only 45 years, of age, and has a large
mustache of deep brown and flashing blue
eyes. He bears a marked resemblance to
ex-Governor Foraker. He was appointed
Chief of the Department of Federal Office
Furnishings in May last, since which time
he has fitted up 23 Federal buildings. With
out the slightest connection with the Post
office Department, Colonel Swords has to
deal with the furniture of all Federal
buildings, and is therefore familiar with
the interior of most of the large postoffices in
the country.
The terribly crowded condition of the
present office, over which he was showed by
Messrs. McKean and Collins, struck him
very forcibly. Alter the inspection baa
been concluded and the items to befur
nished noted down by Mr. Collins, Colonel
Sword3 was afforded an opportunity to view
the county Court House, and from thence
accompanied Mr. McKean to the Govern
ment building, where Architect Malone ex
plained things and produced voluminous
statistics. The noted lowan left at 8 o'clock
for Washington, having previously dined
at the Duquesne Club with Postmaster Mc
Kean, Hon. Walter Lyon and C. H. McKee,
Esq.
Colonel Swords submitted to a lengthy in
terview with a Dispatch representative.
He said: "Our appropriation for the fiscal
year ending in June is running low, and in
most cases where a new building is going up
we bid the officials endure the ills of
cramped quarters and back nnmber furni
ture until a change takes place.
THEIR WEIGHTY AEGUMENTS.
"But in the Pittsburg Postoffice. Senator
Quay and Mr. McKean presented such
weighty reasons for securing every accessory
and facility for the better transaction of the
public business that Secretary Windom felt
justified in straining a point The accommo
dations are so inadequate that the best of
furniture and fittings is a positive necessity.
"The Begistrv Division, the Mongy Order
Division, the office of the Superintendent of
Mails, and the Postmaster's room will be en
tirely refitted with the best we have in
stock. The entire postoffice will be cleansed,
and repairs, alterations, chandeliers and
anything else needed will be immediately
supplied. This includes desks, carpets,
counters, etc., and several new letter
racks, any of which can be transferred to
the new building. Mr. McKean made a
very favorable impression in Washington
and his efforts to improve the service here
will be aided in every possible May. The
rough list which Messrs. McKean and Col-
lins have furnished me contains abont 70
items, and my rough calculations are that
about $7,000 will be expended in the refit
ting process. Understand me, Mr. Win
dom's instructions were to give Mr. McKean
anything he wanted. As it is, we will put
into this office all its size enables it to con
tain or demand. As to the other Federal
offices here the limited amount at our com
mand will -not'enabie us to do anything
until the change to the new building is ac
complished. When that time arrives I can
guarantee Pittsburg the best at our com
mand. "I visited the Government building and
Mr. Malone met me with the astonishing
statement that it would take him three
years to complete it under favorable circum
stances. This does not seem in accord with
the work done on Government buildings
elsewhere and will hardly do. Mr. Malone
gave me some carefully prepared statistics,
but I agree with Mr. McKean that the
building should be occupied by the Govern
ment at least on the lower floor by next
fail. I have promised Mr. McKean that I
will wait on Mr. Windrim next Monday,
and urge speed in the premises. I have not
the least connection with the Postoffice De
partment, but my opinion may have some
weight with Mr. Windrim "owing to my
familiarity with new Federal buildings and
those just being completed. Yonr new
postmaster impresses me as being a hustler,
and I can understand from what I have
seen how great the necessity is for new
quarters at the earliest possible moment"
AGAINST CIVIL SERVICE.
"What do you think of the current
troubles of the Civil Service Commission,
Colonel Swords?"
"The Civil Service Commission has my
permission to work out its own salvation, if
it can. I will tell you what the civil service
scheme is doing as a practical resnlt of its
adoption. It is ruining hundreds of bright
young men and women in every community.
They devote their time to the examinations,
and get on tbe list of eligibles, and then
wait, wait, wait for the coveted position,
living perhaps on relatives or friends, a set
of Micawbers with nothing turning up.
Ton have just come from Des Moines,
la. What are Senator William Allison's
chances of re-election in view of the legis
lative deadlock."
"I have been to Iowa on leave of absence,
and have paid a great deal of attention to
Senator' Allison's canvass. The situation is
briefly this: By precedent the member of
the Housejfrom Polk county calls the House
together; the Democrats refuse to answer,
and there can be no organization. The Be-
publican members of tbe House are mostly
new, who promise well, but as the Demo
crats number a good many legislative veter
ans, the Bepnblican side ot the House is
inferior in the exercise of parliamentary
tactics. This is unfortunate, but it
cannot be heiped. We offered
a compromise to the Democrats on Wednes
day night, just before I came away.
We offered them the Speaker, we to have
the Clerk. If that ofler was accepted it
meant the organization of the House and
the election of Mr. Allison by five or six
votes on joint session. Bnt tbey refused,
hoping to tire the Republicans out. and
seure both Speaker and Senator. They
can never secure enough votes to elect any
one else, and no matter how prolonged the
contest may be it is certain to result in Sen
ator Allison's favor."
CIVIL SERVICE DETAILS.
The Examination to be Held Febramry 4 A
List of 125 Anxlons to Solve the Knotty
Problems A New Rale Practiced-Employe
Under Doable Bonds.
Yesterday was the last day upon which
applications for the civil service examina
tion of February 4 could be received. At
the close of the day Cashier McCalley, of
the Pittsburg postoffice, also Secretary of
the Local Civil Service Committee, had 125
applications in hand. At the first examina
tion under Postmaster Larkin 160 appli
cants were examined.
A singular thing in connection with the
workings of the local branch of the Civil
Service Commission, giving a vivid illus
tration of tbe slacktwisted business methods
of the commission came to light during the
present week. In last August the august
commission established the rule that
no applicatioa lor the civil service
examination should be received after the
commencement of a 20-day term before the
date of the examination. The commission
failed to notify tbe Pittsburg Civil Service
Committee until this week. Applications
filed after last Thursday would not be re
ceived, but it was decided to receive all
filed up to yesterday, despite the role. The
place of holding the examination has not
been determined.
The question of what percentage of tho
successful or "eligibles" of the examinations
of February 4 and August 2, 1889, had se
cured appointments in the office proved to
be interesting. Of the February list of 65 and
the August list of over 70 "eligibles" but
two appointments were made last year. This
speaks volumes for the cohesiveness of Post
master Larkin's forces, but does not hold
out much encouragement for the 125 who
are to run the gauntlet next Tuesdav week.
Even should a new allotment of clerks be
made for Pittsburg, thelist o "eligibles" of
August would take precedence be.ore thoso
to be examined.
When a vacancy occurs within tbe scope)
of the Civil Service rules, the Secretary of
the local board picks out three of those
whose grading is the highest and submits
them to the Postmaster, who can pick any
one of the three. The certificate has to be
posted in the postoffice corridor, so that he
who runs may read. Under such circum
stances it seems like a modern exemplifica
tion of the old saw, "Hope deferred maketh
the heart sick."
By the roles of the Postoffice Department
the inside officials and clerks of tbe Pitts
burg postoffice are obliged to.furnish to the
incoming postmaster abond equal in amount
to that already held by Postmaster Larkin
for the identical position. Thus the ap
pointive officials arc under double bonds
during the interval between the close of
business on January 31 and the opening of
the office on February 1.
No buffet should be without a bottle of
Angostura Bitters, the South American ap
petizer. Slightly soiled lace curtains and odd
