Andrew Steck. of the Twenty-fifth ward, then moved that Judge Bailey "be nominated by acclamation, which was also carried. DOMINATIONS INTJOKSED. John Tobin then made a motion that the re nominations of Controller Morrow and Major Joseph F. Dennisto'n bo indorsed, which was done with three cheers for the gallant Major and the city's Cerberus. On motion of J. C. O'Donnoll a committee of three was appointed to acquaint Judge Bailey with the fact of his nomination, and Messrs." O'Donnell, W. J. Brennen and C A. O'Brien, were named, and withdrew for that purpose. The Committee on Resolutions then appeared, ana Chairman Charles Fagan reported the f ol- lowing" Resolved, The Democratic partv of the citv of Pittsburg viewing wltli alarm the loose methods orthe dominant party In the conduct or the city's affairs, the favoritism shown In the awarding or contracts, the misuse oriarge sums of thcpconlc's money, and the attempted utter demoralisation of the people's Interest by a further perpetuation or the rale or the bosses, as is clearly shown In their nomination Tor the high office ofMayor. or one who. while a member or Councils, was obedi ent to every command or the botses or the ring, present to this convention as the party's candi date for Mayor, one whose name Is the synonym for honesty and ability. John II. Bailey. In presenting John II. Bailey to the citizens of rMttsourg as a c-.ouiu-.ws im iim'vi, -......-. .j invoking in his behair the intelligent suffrage or the people, we do so with the confident belief ne will, ir elected, correct many abuses, wrongs and downright corruptions that have crept Into the administration or city aflalrs, and secure the people a dignified, impartial and courageons dis charge or the duties or the office. That he will, bva rigid scrutiny or the acts or Councils, and when demanded by the laws and ordinances and by the Interests of the taxpayers, by a Judicious exercise or the veto power atop all profligate and Jobbing leglslatlo J, the traffic In franchises so long conducted by the city ring, and guarantee the city Its proper and legitimate rev enue Tor all grants and special privileges con lerred on corporations or individuals. That by his aupervlson under the charter law or the official acts and conduct or the citv depart ments he will exact square, open and fair dealing in all matters confided to them. That In the Board or Awards he will protect the Interests or the people and see that there Is Jus tice and ralr play in the allotment or all contracts and supplies lor city work. That he will see to It that the city rands solely applicable to the reduction or the debt of the city are applied to that purpose, and not, asnasbeen the practice or the ring managers, deposited with ravored Institutions, to be used ror private profit and speculation. That he will stand as a barrier against the crea tion or needless offices with extravagant salaries attached to pension the serviceable agents or the ring rule. CHARGES OF A BIUG. TVe charge the ring administration responsible ror the legislative and executive acts ot the city government, with long continued speculation and plunder of the taxpayers: with withholding the appropriation and tax ordinance until after the city election, thus compelling the people to vote on city affairs without that lull knowledge It Is their right to possess: with an extravagance In the creation of useless offices with big salaries, that have caused a large deficiency In the fiscal year just closed; with using the sinking rund balances for purposes or private profit Instead or promptly applying them to the pavment or the city's debt, thus virtuallv compelling the taxpayers to large payments or interest that the ring favorites may profit by the use or the city's monev: we farther charge that the ring has evaded the allotment of Important and costly contracts for street Improvements, until It gets Its selected candidate for Mayor on the Board or Awards, and thus be enabled to allot the work. Involving great outlay, to ring contractors at their own price and without fair competition. We believe John H. Bailey, if elected Mayor, will In the exercise of powers conferred by the charter, find a legitimate way to relorm these and other abuses, protect the revenu; or the city, and guard Its interests in all branches and depart ments or its administration, and so believing we present his name for Mayor, as a practical re lormer, experienced, honest and firm in the right. On motion of Frank McFarland the resolu tions were adopted, and Dennis Boyle intro duced a resolution, which was adopted, that the delegates to the City Convention be con-' tinued until the next election. T. O'Leary, Jr., introduced a resolution, which prevailed, that the Chairman, Mr. Foley, be authorized to fill all vacancies which might occur in the places of delegates. At this juncture Judge Bailey entered -the room, leaning on the arm of the Chairman of the committee sent to acquaint him of the tact of his nomination. Chairman Foley assisted him to the platform, and introduced the Demo cratic nominee amid the most deafening ap Slause. When the cheers bad subsided the udge spoke as follows: JUDGE BAILEY'S THANKS. Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Convention: 1 am here at the request of your committee, who have, in kindly terms, notified me that It has been your pleasnrc to honor me with a nomination lor the office of Mayor or the city In which I was born, and In which I have continuously resided. I accept the nomination with my heartiest ac knowledgments. I thank yon. not so much ror the position or honor to which you have called me, as ror the confidence you have reposed. The Democracy have always treated me with kindness whlcn has provoked mv gratitude, and this re newal or It Is very pleasing to me. Having al wavs lived among you. It Is Impossible that you can nave misconceived my character, and this re iteration or your lalth lu my honesty, integrity and capacit', places me under renewed obliga tion. The nomination or a candidate by apolitical convention in a municipal contest does not par take or the nature or partisanship, because the convention Is slmplv the machinery by which the candidate Is presented to the suffrages or the peo ple at an election which Is or should be essentially non-partisan. NOT A PABTISAN FIGHT. The contest before us is not between Democrats and Republicans, bat, as we understand It, the question to be determined is, which ot the candi dates placed In nomination, by his personality, bis surroundings, bis associations, his former life and conduct and the sources from which his nom ination proceeded, makes better promise or secur ing an honest, open, economical and efficient city government. The members or this convention believe, and so Jiroc lalm, that this city for years has been sub rctcd to a mercenary thraldom which has been well nigh disgraceful to Its people, and that the time and opportunity have come to shake off this secret power, and by the election or a candidate utterly rree rroin such vicious associations to give the city promise of a more satisfactory adminis tration 01 Its affairs. The engrossing character or my engagements In anomer aepariment oi puoiic me uoes not permit we to speak with personal knowledge or the mis management and maladministration or the city government ror many years, but, as a citizen and taxpayer, 1 could not be dear to the public outcrv which this ill conduct provoked. AN OLD STOKY. The subserviency ol the city Councils to a power behind and more potential than city officials Is so thoroughly recognized that It ceases to provoke comment. Is It not commonly believed that con tracts lor city work are manipulated and awarded to favored contractors, contrary to the require ments of acts and ordinances, aud that competi tion is excluded by the ingenuity with which pro posals for contracts are framed!' For what good reason do S00,OUO or the people's money remain on dipisit in city banks Instead or being applied to the reduction or the city's indebtedness, and the relief of burdened taxpayers!' For what honest reason does it happen, year after year, that the committee of Councils are unable to report the ordinance making appropriations ror the fiscal year until alter the Fehnikrv election? is It out or consideration Tor tue taxpayers, that they may not be disturbed during the canvass with the kuowlcdge that their burdens have been increased, or glossed over, by the deliberate creation or a deficiency? How is the taxpayer advantaged by :in appropriation or $158,000 this year to supply the ..cnclencj- or the last? SOME MOKE QUESTIONS. What good purpose was subserved by a sys tematic increase orthe assessments or real estate, so unreasonable and oppressive that the whole community became Indignant, aud the conrts or law were resorted to to correct the injustice? Was It with the hope that taxpayers might be be fooled with the idea, that because the millageof taxation was reduced, their burdens were light ened? But most scandalons of all (this has been so vouched for that I accept it as'a fact) Is It to be tolerated by reputable people, that Inspectors of police shall canvabS for their candidate among un blushing violators or the liquor laws, as it recom pense ror Immunity to these law-breakers, en joyed at the hands of the city police? Let these people beware, There Is a power In thlscouutv, with a dutv to enforce the laws, which will not tolerate this barter or the elective iranchlse. rora disregard ol crime, by the police. V hen you censure these pecimens or misrule, yon are met by the impertinent Inquiry at the llpsoi the supporters ol this Insatiate power, which dominates the city, "What are jougolug to do about li?" WHAT MIGHT 111 DONK. As I understand It, you propose to defeat the .lK.rts.ifl.icse people, toselie upon the Mayor's Hiv. and. Instead, to place therein a man who know nothing or ring" methods, and docs not intend to learn, except to thwart them, and who will be Instant, in season and out or season, in the defense or the city treasury. The Mayor Is not. as many assume, powerless to hold In reasonable check the dishonest men who would fatten upon the hard earnings of the taxpayers, but be has well-defined powers to that end, which he should not permit to He idle or Inefficient In his hands. The right to scrptinlie every act ot city legisla tion, and to pronounce thereon,' Imposes upon him grave duties, which are not to be performed In a perfunctory wav. but should be utilized to arouse the attention orthe citizens to vicious legislation, and to pillory those who would palter with their obligations, as members orthe city Councils. His duty tosupervise all the departments of the city government should lead him to watch their every act and to restrain any departure from the fairest dealing. what Miorrr havb been. Such powers, wjselymsedln the past, would have stayed a disreputable traffic in important and valuable franchises, an.l have secured to the city Just returns from grants to corporations and others, to the great relief of the people, and they would constitute a rjotMit restraint In the Im TWirtant tn-tt-r nfthf-aWHrri or contracts. ! But I will not detain you further. The ex igencies or the hour are too well known to every thinking citizen to need elaboration. The ques tion is berorc us; we must, meet It like conscien tious men. There Is time afforded in which to do efficient work. It Is no holiday contest, no exhi bition or tinseled trappings, but a hand-to-hand fight In behair or better .government. If the re sult shall be that your nomination be ratified, I assure yon that I will perform the duties of the office in tne sight of God and with the dally prayer that I may serve my city and Its people without worldly rear, favor or affection. The Judge was frequently interrupted by vociferous cheering, and rat down exhausted by his effort, but seemingly well pleased with the cordial reception he had been accorded. An informal reception was held by Judgo Bailey at the conclusion of the convention, and he was warmly congratulated by all present. Gnllagher Not'Indorsed. The Flinn Republican Club met last night in the Eleventh ward schoolhouse. John Bell moved that the club indorse the candidacy of Doininick Gallagher for alderman of the Eleventh ward. Colonel Robert Smothers ob jected to the indorsement, and a heated discus sion followed. Colonel Smothers and his cohorts hold the fort, so to speak, and it was deter mined that the club would indorse no one for alderman. Indorsed Jndse Bnitey. At a citizens' meeting, held at the Second ward schoolhouse last evening. John H. Bailey for Mayor, Eustace S. Morrow for Controller and J. F. Denniston lor City Treasurer were in dorsed, as were also James A. McMasters for Alderman, A, A. Eeiner for Constable and Joseph M. Wilson for Assessor. DIr. Stnyton Makes a Speech. The Allegheny City Democratic Committee met last night at 173 Federal street. Mr. J. R. Stayton, the Democratic candidate for Mayor, was present, and addressed the meeting. The meeting was a large one, and reports of en. couragement were heard from every precinct in the city. Political Notes. A SUGGESTION meeting of the Republicans of the Seventh ward will be held February 13. The William Flinn Republican Club has in dorsed Fred Lumaii for Alderman of the Eleventh ward. Democratic headquarters were opened yes terday at MGSmithfield street and business will start to-day in earnest Mb. Ed C. Negxet has announced himself as a candidate for the office of Alderman in the nineteenth ward. His opponent on the Demo cratic ticket will likely be J- W. Wallace, for merly postmaster at the East Liberty office. One of the results of the Democratic con vention last night is the issue of a challenge by the Republican City Executive Committee on behalf of Mr. Oourley to discuss in joint de bate the subject of the city government with Judge Bailey and in public. WHERE THE FLESE WAS WEAK. The Report of Inspector BlcCatcheon for the Month of January. Meat and Milk Inspector McCutcbeon made his report for January yesterday.

He also condemned and had slaughtered 259 head of hogs, 11 head of cattle. 16 calves and 1 sheep. He prosecuted and convicted J. B. Huff for selling diseased meat and the defendant was fined. They Hnve Nothing to Say. A story was afloat yesterday that Messrs. Young and Hoerr. of the defunct Lawrence Bank, had induced Mr. William Le ffler to lend the former 2.250 and take a judgment note therefor, and that Mr. Leffler, subsequent to the nauk failure, learned that the note was not a judgment but a promissory one, and that legal proceedings would be entered. D. C. Reardon, Esq., the attorney consulted, did not hold out the idea, when seen last night, that there bad been any crookedness or misrepre sentation, but be was quite reticent. Mr. Leffler was not at home, and Mrs. Leffler said she didn't know much about the matter. Frenka of a Crazr Woman. Magistrate Brolcaw yesterday committed Mary Osstnan to jail. Her husband died some time ago, ana ever since she has displayed symptoms of insanity. For months past she has been in the habit of hanging crepe on the door of her house and repeatedly threatened to murder her children. A Trifle Too Reckless Drlvins.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE DOING. Some Who Travel, Some Who Do Not, nnd Other. Who Talk. Mr. O. S. Hershman was elected busi ness manager of the Chronicle .Telegraph at the directory meeting yesterday. This is ap parently promotion for Mr. Hershman, who has been for some years past advertising solici tor for that paper. In reality the time of Mr. Campe, who is still Secretary and Treasurer of the Chronicle Telegraph, was fully occupied with nther duties, and so for some months past Mr. Hershman has been business manager in all but the name. L. L. Smith, commercial agent of tbe Cambria Iron Works, was n the city last night on his way to Cincinnati. Mr. Smith said the Cambria county election of delegates to the State convention was not the result of the popular sentiment of that county. He believed that tbe ultimate conclusion would be hurtful to Mr. Dclcmater. Judge Campbell, of Uniontown, is in the city on a case before the Common Pleas Court. Tbe Judge is a decided partisan of the W. C. T.'D. members who stand by the old or ganization. He says ho believes that the mem bers "ho got out will ultimately see the error of their way and coino back to tbe fold. Mr. Peter Shields, well known through his former connection with the Postal Tele graph Company in this city, and who recently embarked in the real etate and insnrapee business, opened an office yesterday at No. 533 Grant street.

Generally Admitted That the Presi dent Will Not Come Back. KONE OF THE OFFICIALS DENY IT. Foundations Laid for Jones & Laugulin's Sew Blooming Mill. SATING ON A SHIPMENT OP PIG IRON There is considerable speculation going on on the Southside over the reported resigna tion of President Morenus, of the Window Glass Workers' Association. It was pretty generally believed on that side of the river last sight that Mr. Morenus has sent in his resignation, and that it will be acted on at the meeting of L. A. 300 to-morrow evening. An air of absolute secrecy pervades the general office of the association, on Carton street. Secretary Cake was seen yesterday, and in answer to questions abont the matter he simply said : "If Mr. Morenus has resigned, it's not the public's business; If he has not re signed, it is not the public's business." Mr. Cake refused to say anything further, except to intimate mat -wnen the newspapers get hard np for news, thoy take to writing 'fakes.' " One man was found, however, who said that it was true that President Morenus has resigned, and that his resignation has not been ac cepted. This was Treasurer Hammett, Mr. Hammettsaid: THIS SOUNDS SIGNIFICANT "It is not true that the resignation had been declined as a matter of courtesy, nor is it ex pected that Mr. Morenus will insist on resign ing." It is regarded as a significant fact that ex President Campbell has been at bis old desk considerable of late. It is supposed that he is quietly looking after the affairs of the associa tion, and is doing tbe President's work during the latter1 absence. It is further reported on pretty good authority, that in case Mr. Morenus has resigned, and his resignation is accepted, that Mr. Campbell will step back into his old shoes. He is regarded as tbe most capable man for the place, aud the wav things look it is not improbable that this will be the ultimate re sult. The fact that no one has denied that Mr. Morenus has resigned is considered sufficient to warrant the assumption that he will not come hack. The strange circumstances sur rounding his departure from the city adds strength to this belief. It is said now that Mr. Morenus saw the position would be distasteful to him. and he desired to withdraw on account of his health before getting" the affairs of the association into a complicated condition. At last accounts Mr. Morenus was still confined to his bed. CAUSING NO COMPLICATION. Treasurer Hammett also said yesterday that there was no foundation for tbe statement that the President's, absence is causing a complica tion in tbe affairs of tbe association. As for that matter, they could get along without a President by placing the Master Workman in the office. An effort was made last night to see Patrick Clarey, who was Mr. Morenos' opponent in the recent contest, but he is in Monongahela City. He has been working up there for two weeks, and it is said he will shortly take charge of a cutting department there James Campbell, ex-President of the Window Glass Workers' Association, returned from Washington yesterday, where he had been before tlin Ways and Means Committee In reference to having the tariff on window glass increased. Mr. Campbell said tbat Mr. Bonice, President of tbe Manufacturers' Association, was present and co-operated with him. From the indications they have reasons to believe that tho tariff of 1SS2 will be restored. Mr. Campbell wonld neither deny nor affirm the rumored resignation ol Mr. Morenus. He desired that his name should not be mentioned in connection with the affair. TWELTE THOUSAND SATED. Sheffield, AInbnmn, Pis; Iron Coming to Pittsburg by Boat, Five thousand tons of Southern pig iron Is now being loaded on boats at the wharf at Sheffield, Ala., for shipment to Pittsburg. Tbe stuff is being loaded by the Ensley Frir nace Company, and is consigned to one of the large iron manufacturing concerns of this city. It is stated that the difference between the water and rail rates is over 12,000 on the ship ment. Increased Tbelr Capacity. The work on tho foundation for a new bloom ing mill was begun yesterday by Jones & Laughllns. It will be of the same capacity as the one now in use and' is expected to be in operation in about sixmonths. The blooming capacity is at present 600 tons, and the new mill will increase it to 1,200 tons. SEQDEL TO A SUICIDE. An Unfortunate Love Affhir the Cnnse of Gertie Frnncber's Rash Act. A sad story has come to light in connection with the suicide of Gertie Francber. who jumped from the Ninth street bridge into tbe river early yesterday morning. Gertie's friends state tbat the girl bad been engaged to a young brass finisher in Allegheny, who had promised to marry her at the earliest opportunity. A little while ago she discovered tbat her lover was already married. A painful scene was the result, and the deceiver and fiis poor dnpe parted forever. A few days ago a love letter from an old sweetheart, Charles Arnold, of Lit tle Washington, was received by Gertie, and she told her friends, with tears, tbat she would explain all to Arnold, and marry him if he ac cepted her. Shortly afterward she left her em ployment, and Monday last was forced to bor row 75 cents to purchase a meal. Since that time sbe was not seen until Austin, the young man arrested for having been last iu her com pany, walked a short way with her toward the bridge. Tbe state of the river precludes all possibil ity of recovering the body at present. A dis patch from Beaver Falls says that Gertie was a daughter of William Krancher, of .Eleventh street, that town, who is an employe In the shovel works. She left home without anv os tensible cause about a year ago. Gertie is de scribed 'as very handsome, tall and .distin guished looking, with golden hair, blue eyes and a complexion of ivory whiteness. NEAELT TWO HUNDBKD DEATHS. Reports of the Allesheny Citv Phvslclnn and tbe Hentih Officer. The report of City Physician Woodburn, of Allegheny, showed a total of 183 deaths dnring January. Eighteen were caused by typhoid f ever.JS by phthisis, 10 by diphtheria, 2 by acci dents and 2 hy suicide. Health Officer Bradley reported 171 burial permits issued and 151 nuisances abated. Pretended lie Was Gearse Dilvrortb. A strange case took place in the East, a few days since, in which a Pittsburg man was in terested. The facts in the caso are simply that a smart gentleman from Pittsburg represented himself as George Dilworth. The gentleman in question went to New York abont three weeks ago and introduced himself as Mr. Dil worth. He was received in great style, as be fitted the well-known house of Dilworth Bros. In New York the gentleman in question bor rowed S75 from one house and received letters which enabled him to do business with other firms. The firm of Dilworth Bros, have no idea who the gentleman is, but are very anxious to havo an interview with him. Killed While Trying to Board a Train. Maurice J.

Tbe officers of the company state that, judging from the business in January and the con dition of the society's agencies throughout the world, it is reasonable, to expect that the total business for ,tbe,present year will not fall below $200,000,000.-New York Tri bune, February .1. . Oirp BAPTIST." Distinctions Drawn In tho Ebcnrzcr Conflict- A Terr Lively Breeze Prophesied Before tin End l Reached in the Henr Ing of tbe Testimony. The attorney for the Ebcnezer Baptist Church "ins" did not get around yesterday until 3:30 p. M., thus causing a loss of 39 hours for one man. a matter of sinall import, apparently, in the estimation of many law yers. Rev. T. H. Chapman, of this city, was tbe only witness examined. He testi fied that tbe Baptist Church was supposed to know no authority outside of the Bible? any other is inferential and gotten so froVn the New Testament. The real law of the Chnrch is found in the eighteenth chapter of Matthew. The church is theoretically independent, but practically it is nor. A church must submit it self to tbe council and cannot be a Baptist' Church without. If council pass a chnrch It is admitted into the association. Churches must live up to the rules of tbe association. The unanimous voice of the Baptist Church, from ocean to ocean, would condemn open com munion. The case of Rev. R. C. Morgan and bis churcb, of Connellsville, was offered in evi dence and objected to by counsel of the "ins." The advice ot the Pittsburg Baptist Associa tion must be taken by the chnrcbes or they become irregular. A congregation cannot make such rules as it pleases for the exclusion of members. The regular way, except in what are called infamous cases, to exclude a member is to serve him with notice and offer him the ut most possible chance to defend himself. He is entitled to a copy of tbe charges. A person not a member of the church has no power to take part in tho trial of a member, witness said he did not regard Rev. Pryor's chnrch as a Baptist Churcb. nor regard him as an orthodox Baptist minister. Mr. Cbapman objected to the word "regu lar," as be held tbat "Baptist" was sufficient If a churcb is not regular it Is not Baptist, He regarded the manner in which tbe majority of the Ebenezerites bad treated the council called to settle church troubles highly irregu lar. Witness'had no recollection of charges of disorderly conduct being preferred against Mr. Morton et ah Witness did not think either ap plication for a church charter would injure tho title to the property. He further said that ac cording to testimony. Rev. Frynr is not con ducting the churcb at the comer of Miller and Col well streets as a Baptist cbnrch. The church is at present under the discipline of the Baptist Association. Rev. J. K. Cramer, late of this city but now of Elizabeth, was on hand to cive testimony. but tbe delay knocked htm out, as he was forced to take a 4J5 p. v. train. Some people prophesy a lively breeze before the testimony is all taken. EWIKG AND WHITE The Judge Who Will Probnbty Dotermlno the License Question. The License Court question is still an absorb ing topic, and tbe saloon keepers who were last year rejected by Judge .White are fervently praying tbat be win not have the dispensation of the licenses this year. It is now, however, very definitely settled that Judge, Kwlng will preside at this session. B. C. Christy, Esq.,who last year appeared In behalf of the W. C. T. U. before the License Court, said last evening that he thought Judge White wonld be tbe as sociate of Judge Ewing on tbe license bench this year, on account of his experience in the matter and knowledge ot the applicants. As Judge Ewing has definitely informod Chief Brown, of the Department of Public Safety, tbat it is bis duty to produce tho re cords of objectionable applicants, it is more than likely some voluminous documents will be submitted to tbe court, and although tbe police officials state that there would be no prohibi tory districts mapped out as was the case last year, there will be several licensees dropped from tbe list. When Mr. Christy was asked if he thought tho number of licenses this year would exceed those of last year, be said he doubted it very much. On the contrary, the expectations among saloon men is that there will be a large increase. WANTS A SQUARE DEAL. Mr. Christy Says the Neville Island Com pany Did Not Meet. B. C. Christy, of the Neville. Island Company, was seen at his office yesterday, with reference to the rmored meeting of the company. He said that no meeting had been held for two weeks, and none would be held for some time. When questioned as to the aims and objects of tbe company Mr. Christy was very reticent. He declared that nothing definite had as yet been settled, and that tne company was but In a chrysalis state. "One thing I can say, how ever," he continued, "We mean to have a per fectly square deal, or else no deal at all. One Individual has been already smashed over a H eville Island project, and we are not going to follow suit We have made an offer, and everything depends-on the acceptation of "re jection of the offer by the parties interested." A YOUNG WIPE'S SAD PATE. Running All Ablaze Thronah n Pnbllc .Street Until Exhausted. Yesterday morning Mrs. Minnie Coleman, living on tbe Brownsville road, was fatally burned while attempting to extinguish an oil lamp by blowing down the chimney. The flames went into tbe lamp, causing an explosion. The lamp burst, and, the oil scattering over her clothing, was speedily Ignited. She rushed into the street in a blaze, crying for assistance, but none had courage enough to approach her. She fled up-hill toward Mon astery avenue, where she sank down exhausted. Two men named Larman and Henkel then ap proached, and, securing blankets, managed to put out the fire. Mrs. Coleman is but 30 years of age, and will leave a husband and family. WHERE IS CHARLES REAGAN? A Stranger In the City Lost From HisBonrd Ins House.

ALMOST T(fBE SEEN. Mr. Carnegie's Plans for Pittsburg's Library to be Ready Monday. A MONUMENT TO HIS BENEVOLENCE, The Outlines of Which Will he Presented to Councils Next Week. ORGANISTS FOB THE OTHER OPENING It can at last be truthfully stated that practical measures are being formulated, looking toward the long-promised library offered Pittsburg a couple of years since by Mr. Andrew Carnegie. A formal confer ence was held yesterday between Councils' committee and Mr. Carnegie which resulted in a promise on the part of that gentleman to perfect his plans so that the City Coun cils can take immediate action.. A quiet little party held a meeting in an office on Fifth avenue yesterday afternoon. It was composed of the following gentlemen: Messrs. Carnegie, Lambie, Carnahan, Keat ing.Bigham and Shannon, tbe last five com posing the Library Committee of Pittsburg Councils. A LIBRARY AT LAST. Nn others were present, and no record was kept of the proceedings, but E. B. Car nahan was called upon at jiis residence, on Collins avenue. East Knd. last evening; and the following in reference to it was elicited: "No formal action was taken," said Mr. Car nahan. "We met by mutual Agreement, to talk over tbe matter and receive the different views of those present, Messrs.. Lambie. Keating and I expressed Our opinions to Mr. Carnegie as to what Pittsbnrg required in the way of an institution of tbe kind, and Mr. Carnegie men tioned some ideas of his own in return. At the conclusion of the talk which took up. possibly, an hour and a half Mr. Carnegie stated that he wonld immediately go to work on the plans he had In view, mature them, so to speak, and present them to this committee on Monday next. The members of that committee then propose to take the matter actively in hand, bring it up at tbe next meeting of Coun cils, and I can promise that we will do every thing in our power to put tbe library matter, which has been banging nro so long, in work ing shape as speedily as practicable. SO MISTAKE ABOUT IT. "Further than tbat nothing was done. You can say, however, tbat Pittsburg is going to have a library, and a grand one, too. At least, that is my opinion, from what Mr. Carnegie had to say concerning it. True, there is no one who knows what the gentleman's plans really are, unless it be somo very intimate friend or relative, but I gathered enouch to know tbat he proposed to give ns a library, and it will be even better than the one first proposed. That was all that was done or said, and'anyone who says there was more is telling a falsehood." TnE LIST OP ORGANISTS. Cnrl Retter Did Not Snstnln lbs Objection Against the Te Deuin. It was learned yesterday that the organists at the Carnegie Library opening will bo Prof. John Prltchard, Miss Kate E. Courtney, Mr. Leonard Wales. Mr. Charles Davis Carter, Mr. Joseph H. Glttlngs, Mr. Mayers, Miss S. H. Killtkelly and Mr. C. 0., Mcllor. Prof. Prltch ard will perform on Tuesday from 2:15 to 3:15, Miss Courtney on tbe same day from 3:15 to 4:15, Mr. Wales on Tuesday evening from 9:15 to 10:15, Mr. Carter on Wednesday evening from 8:15 to 9:15; and Mr. Glttlngs from 9:15 to 10:15. The remainder of the organists named will perform at periods not yet definitely fixed by the management. The hanging committee of the art gallery are still busily employed in receiving and ex amining pictures. The hanging will close Fri day evening. Mr. Carnegie denied tbat any consultation bearing on the question of the library was held in the Carnegie-Pbipps bnilding Tuesday afternoon. According to Mr. Carnegie's state ment, the supposed meeting was merely a busi ness talk with certain friends. When ques tioned about his attitude on the Question of opening the library on Sundays, Mr. Carnegie said he had nothing whatsoever to say on the subject, as it was not in bis province. J. B. Scott said the Sunday opening of: tbe library Is to be left to tbe board of management. Mr. Scott further said that unless something very unexpected turns up. President Harrison will appear at the ppening and make-a short speech. - The Thursday programme has not yet been finally arranged, nor will it be settled until toward the close Of the present week. The statement published yesterday that Mr. Carl Retter had declined to conduct the music at the opening ceremony,, in consequence of over-short rehearsals, is incorrect. Mr. Better's refusal was on account of tbe objection raised to tbe performance of the "Te Deum" on tbe ground tbat it was a sectarian piece; where upon Mr. Retter resigned his baton and left Pittsburg. Mr. Better stated that, so far from being sectarian music, the "Te Deum" has been played. by every creed and every class. It appeals directly to tbe Deity, and no creed can plausibly find fault with its performance. IMPORTANT CONFERENCE TO-NIGHT. Tbe New Library to bo Discussed at a Meeting This' Evening. The Library Conference Committee of Alle gheny will meet this evening to consider sev eral propositions relating to the disposal of the old and new management of the new library buildings. The result of the meeting cannot be antici pated. It is understood tbat the City Council will ask the Board of Control to transfer the management and disposal to its bands. The City Property Holders' Committee will meet Monday night, when their sub-committee, which is to confer with the Common Council, will make its report.

Harry Cook, notoriously known as "Cookey tbe Dude," is again an occupant of the Central police station as a result of his passion for thieving. Yesterday afternoon he went into a Grant street laundry. While the proprietor's back was momentarily turned, he made a dash for the little wooden box in which the money was kept and started down the street with it Tbe Chinaman ran screaming to tbe door, and as he saw Cookey's form rapidly vanishing, started in pursuit, yelling: "Stloppe hlml Stloppee hlml" Several parties on tbe street took In tbe situation and assisted In the chase, one citizen finally catching tbe fleet-footed "Cookey" on Water street. He began to weep at once, his old trick, and was finally released when he gave up the box. Tbe Chinaman, however, was not satisfied with getting his money back, and he immediately reported Jho matter to Detec tive Coulson. Conlson and Detective McTIghe found "Cookey" at tbe corner of Smltbfleld street and Second avenue. He saw the detectives as soon as they saw him, and started down Smith field street. Detective McTighe followed, and Cookey turned np First avenue. When be reached the warehouse of the National Tube Company he darted through to Second ave nue. McTighe caught him near the corner of Grant street. He was led to Central station between the two detectives, ana on the way down was noticed to stealthly slip something into his mouth. Tbe detectives appeared not to notice the movement, but when they got the prisoner into tbe station he was searched carefully with poor results. Then Detective Coulson ordered the prisoner to open his mouth. He refused, but was quickly forced to comply, and a valu able diamond ring dropped out on the floor. A PAST0E READILY SELECTED.

A Lady to Path the Button That Will Open tbe Exposition Tho Thirteenth Regi ment Band Will be Here DnrlnE tbe Reason Other Attractions. The press of some fair lady's finger upon an electrical button the 3d of next Septem ber, at 8 o'clock p. it., will put in motion the machinery of the Exposition. Upon "Wednesday of that date and time the Ex position will be opened, and for 40 days will tbe Thirteenth Regiment Band of New York delight the residents of the city and visi tors from abroad. Tbe band will open and close tbe Exposition, and much better arrangements will be made for tho band stand than were en joyed last season. The not receipts of last year's Exposition were greater than of any similar enterprise hi tbe United States for the first season, and the directors point with pride to tha nnequaled success both in Tjolnt of AttunHnnnA and finance. The exhibits were magnificent and representative in tbelr character. These facts are conclusive of tbe permanency and popu larity of tho enterprise among all classes, both visitors and exhibitors. The managers predict for the coming season a success that will sur pass in many respects tbe last year's event The value of the Exposition as a channel by and through which inventors and manufac turers may more easily reach the consumers in a practical way. is evident. An invitation is extended exhibitors from other places to be come associated with the organization, with the hope and belief that the many advantages this city clearly possesses as a commercial center may demonstrate tbat it will be to their advan tage to do so. After careful consideration it has been thought advisable to confine the season to the same number of days as hereto fore, instead of prolonging the term, as has been suggested, the directors believing tbat equal results can be obtained within the given period of 40 days, if exhibitors will only study their own interests by being fully prepared on the opening day. Tbe various departments of the Exposition will be as they were last year, beside which some very new and unique feat ures will be introduced, which the managers affirm havo never been initiated into the pleas ures of exposition life. What these said feat ures are is not known at present, and are be yond conjecture. FIFTY FAMILIES WILL LEAYE. Eov. Speeds 'Frtendx Terr Sorry Thnt the Pastor Resigned.
