THE FIEST MUSICIAN.
At 230 o'clock Mr. Rhinehart Mayers took
his position at the keyboard, and opened the
musical programme. For one boar he held bis
listeners in rapt attention, and displayed tbe
wonderful familiarity with the keys that only
an enthusiast is possessed of.
Miss Kate E. Courtney at 320 r. M. assumed
tbe seat vacated by Mr. Mayers, and as her
fragile figure and delicate bands were Tiewed
by the assemblage it became a matter of
wonder bow such strains ol strength and power
conld emanate from the organ under her ma
nipulation. In the evening Mr. C. C. Mellor, at 8:15. made
the organ acKnowledge a master, and nntil 9:15
aeiigntea au tnote wno were in tne soiiaiy
packed mnsic ball. At that time Mr. Leonard
wales commenced the closing portion of the
musical programme, and tbe able manner in
which be bandied the keys with tbe delightful,
entrancing strains, which were tbe result of bis
efforts, increased tbe reputation the gentleman
already bad of being an accomplished musician.
In tbe accustomed manner the audience of
the music ball testified their appreciation of
tbe various numbers rendered, and praise for
tbe performers and organ was the one topic of
conversation among the listeners.
Tbe programmes for tbe entertainment yes
terday, to-day and one week from Thursday, on
which day the formal opening by Mr. Carnegio
himself will be celebrated, are embodied in a
handsome, tasty little catalogue prepared by
Manager Florence O'Neill, of the Pittsburg
Photo-Engraving Company, which also con
tains photo engraving of the building and tbe
donor, and a narrative of the building by
Leonard Wales.
THE POLICE ARKAfiGKUENTS.
No Accidents, bnt ibe Doors Hnd to be
Closed Crooki Ordered Oat and One
Arrested The Art Gallery Will be Open
for Two Weeks.
The police arrangements were superb and
could not have been better. Chief Kirsch
ler was on hand at the beginning with 25
men and distributed them throughout the
building. Detectives Glenn, .Murphy, Mc
Clure, Johnston and Wilson were present
all day and "evening and put out of tbe
building half a dozen or more suspicious
looking individuals. The police officers in
uniform were under the charge of Lieuten
ants Clark, McNinery, Thornton, "Wilson,
Livingston, Shields and Scott The officers
deserve mention for the admirable manner
in which they handled the crowds.
Several cf the officers were stationed on
the stairway leading to the art gallery, and
were the means of saving many people from
getting hurt. About 8:15 o'clock there was
snch a rush of people up and down the stairs
that some of them were almost pushed over
the balustrades. In the music hall the crowd
was kept moving by Lieutenant Clark and
Officer Jacob Snyder. The former played
usher, and did it in a manner becoming to him
self and highly creditabl3 to his position.
Among tbe snspicious individuals run nut of
the building was a young man named Heller,
who was at work as a mechanic Chief Kirsch. .
ler didn't like him, and had him placed in the
lockup. Upon tbe promise that he would
leave the city. Heller was given his coat and
bat and allowed to depart. Up in tbe art gal
lery Detective Murphy saw several people who
be Knew naa no unsiness mere, ana minting
they were trying to get their hands into pockets
other than their own, he forced them to leave.
As a result of the admirable police arrange
ment not one article was reported stolen, and
nobody was hurt.
At e:45 tbe crowd was so great at tbe front
entrance that nobody coull get in or out. The
jam was suffocating, and several small children
were crushed. Tor fully ten minutes the crowd
surged backward and forward in the lobby,
and many ladies almost fainted. The police
seemed to be powerless, and had itnot been for
the coolness of James B. Scott a serious acci
dent might bare occurred. Mr. Scott ordered
tbe police to clear tbe crowd away from the
steps and then bad them close the doors. As
soon as this was done and the people stopped,
tbe crowd was finally squeezed out. As soon as
theygot moving again, they were not allowed
to block up the lobby. Tbe people came in on
one side and passed ont on the other.
Mr. Scott was kept busy all evening receiving
tbe congratulations of the people on tbe suc
cess of the work. Everybody was lavish in
their praise of the building, and the commis
sion as very modest about receiving tbe con
gratulations. To a Dispatch representative
Mr. Scott said:
"1 cannot express my feelings at the satisfac
tion of the people over the building. Every
one is delighted, and this is enough gratifica
tion for the .commissioners. It is need
less to say that we are satisfied
with the result of the work. During the
two years and three months spent in tbe
erection of the building there was not one man
killed or seriously injured. The fact that tbe
people are here shows tbat it is appreciated. I
, should judge tbat there were between 20,000
and 30.000 people in the building to-day. At
tbe lowest estimate I would say 25,000 passed in
and out. We had tbe building closed from 6 to
7 o'clock. This gave the people eight hours to
inspect the place. To get them in and out of
the bnilding we had to run them at the rate of
over 3,100 per hour. This is nearly 60 people
everv minute.
"We will have the building open to-morrow
and Thursday at tbe usual hour. To-morrow
(Wednesday) we will close at 10 o'clock. On
Thursday I think we will close tbe building at
8. It will be open for the public all next week
and everybody will have a chance to view tbe
art eallery. Tbe pictures will be kept in the
ball for two weeks, ana nobody can say that
tb ey did not get a chance to see the fine paintings.
On Thursday of next week the President will
be here, and tbe building will not be open to
the public As we bad originally intended, the
admission will be by card. No. I have not got
anything to do with the tickets, and I am
heartily glad of it. Whoever wants tickets for
tbat night will have to fight it out with some
otter person."
C L. Magee. when told that the art exhibi
tion in tbe Allegheny Free Library would be
continued open for two weeks, said: "I am
glad of it; we have been so long regarded as a
working center with no views beyond the walls
of a rolling-mill or tbe roofs of a glass bouse
that it is a relief to have evidences of our art
appreciation. It is more gratifying to me to
see this extension of time than I can express,
as it gives an opportunity for all to enjoy a
view of the fine creations of genius."
TflE B1KGLE TAX QUESTION.
It Was Folly Discussed In tbo Brltisb
Amerlcan Association.
Circle No. I of tbe British-American Asso
ciation met last night at Moorhead's Hall and
bad a very large attendance. J. E. Heppinstal
presided and upon invitation a number of the
representatives of the Single Tax League were
present and addressed tbe meeting. Edward
Yardley led and was followed by Thomas
Grundy, who both spoke to tbe following sub
jects and were loudly applauded:
Botb.gpeakers urged the fact that all men are
entitled to the enjoyment of life, liberty and
tbe pursuit of happiness; that this system of
private ownership in laud is incompatible with
a Christian civilization; to secure the rights of
citizens in the soil npon which they live is the
object of tbe Single Tax League, which advo-cates-atxx
levied npon ground rent alone, all
other taxation to be abolished. The reasons
given for such a movement were cogently
urged by the speakers, and warmly indorsed
by tbe meeting.
WASHIKGTON MUKUMEXT.
What Will Be Placed In tbe Corner-stone an
tbe Twenty-Second.
There was a meeting in Select Council Cham
ber, Allegheny, last night of the committee
having in charge the matter of laying the corner-stone
ot tbe Washington monument by tbe
Jr. O. U. A. M. In tbe absence of an important
subcommittee the session was short. It was
decided, however, to place in the box in the
stone, an acconnt of the death of Washington,
printed at tbe time, a biographical sketch of
the late James Crow, a picture of the new Car
nerfo Library and -a manual of the city of
Allegheny. Another meeting will be held on

arrangements4sexpected to report.
rinyder on His Ear.
Officer Trapn. of the Fort Wayne depot in
Allegheny, was attacked last night by a man
who alleged tbat tbe officer bad caused his ar
rest some time ago. A fight took place in tbe

wagon was called, and the belligerent individ
ual was taken to tbo lockup, where be gave bis
name as John Snyder.

MAJ0E HAETZELL HONORED.
Regrets Expressed at Hli Retirement From
the Central Board Tbe New Board of
Education Organized Tbe Attendance at
School Falling; Off Through Sickness.
Tbe old Central Board of Education met
last night, settled op its business and ad-,
jouroed sine die, after which the new board
met and organized. When the meeting came
to order Superintendent Lucky reported
that there were 612 teachers employed dar
ing January. The total enrollment or pupils
was 26,374, and the average attendance 22,
335. This is an increase of 212 over the en
rollment of December, but owing to the
amount of sickness in tbe city the attendance
was 539 less than in that month.
The Finance Committed reported tbat on
January 14 it had $53,4S6 19 on hand. By action
of the Councils Finance Committee this was
reduced by 111,829. The expenses for January
were $41,159 59. the outstanding bills are H69I8,
leaving a balance of 12,812 In the appropriation
at the close of the fiscal year. The bills were
ordered paid and some other routine matters
disposed of and Chairman McKelrey an
nounced tbat a motion to adjourn was in order.
Dr. Kerns took the.floor and offered the follow
ing: Whereas. Our osteemea rrlend nd fellow
member. William M. Hartiell, who hat been a
member of this bod v since 188L has closed bis offi
cial connection with" tbe board; and

Kesolved. That we hereby express onr regrets
in parting with him, and assure him of onr high
appreciation of his Integrity, ability and worth as
a public officer. '
Mr. Keller, in seconding the resolution, said
that the man who succeded Major Hartzell
might be a good man. bat be knew the district
would never send a better man to the board,
and be was sorry tbe change was made Dr.
McCandless and Mr.tMcKain spoke in a similar
strain, Mr. McKain saying that be was sorry
that the district board had seen fit to make any
change. Chairman McKelvey expressed his
regret, and as a mark of respect ordered the
vote to be taken standing. Th6resolutlon was
unanimously adopted, and the board ad
journed. Major Hartzell held a semi-reception
in tbe Secretary's office afterward,' all the old
members bidding him goodby.
The new board met at once with Mr. Holmes
In the chair, and Mr. .Xobn McKain acting as
Secretary. Tbe credentials of tbe new members
were presented. But three of them Messrs.
Thomas JCcenan. of the Monongahela district;
John Bentz, of tbe Bedford district, and Henry
Berger, of the Wickersham district, were
strangers. Dr. McKelvey was re-elected Chair
man for the eighth time, and Secretary Reisfar
and Assistant Secretary Lewis were also re
elected. Secretary Reisfar read a communication from
Snnerintendent Johnston, ot the exposition
Society, in which he said tbat he had seen the
exhibit made by tbe Pittsburg schools in the
Paris Exposition in 1889. He thought that such
a display would be of grea. interest at borne,
and asked that one be made at tbe Exposition
next fall. Dr. McCandless. Mr. Keller, Mr. Mc
Mlllen and Superintendent Luckey were ap
pointed a committee to confer with Superin
tendent Johnston.
IK THE FOURTEENTH.
Sir. C. L. Magee Made a Speech In Sop
port of Gonrley.
The Fourteenth Ward Republicans met in
tbe Soho School House last night, placed a
partial ticket in tbe field and arranged for pri
maries on Saturday to complete the work. C
L. Magee presided and George Sheppard and
James McKnlght were Secretaries. John An
derson was nominated for Select Council; W.
A. Magee, L. T.- Brown and.S. H. Shannon for
Common Council and John G. Jones for Con

C. L. Magee made an address in support of
H. L Gourley forMayor, in the course of which
be said he had bad more differences of opinion
with Mr. Gourlev than with any other man
ever connected with the city government. But
thev were all honest differences of opinion.
Mr. Gourley also made an address.
Resolutions complimentary to the Republican
candidate were passed.
WHERE WIIiI. IT BE?
The Carnegie Library Site Now a Question
of Discussion.
Tbe site of the free library is now the
great topic of discussion, particularly with the
property holders who desire its location.
Around City Hall yesterday the question was
discussed and reasons given for locating the
library in the prospective center of population.
The geographical contour of Pittsburg, which
so closely resembles that of New York, was
urged in favor of placing the building either in
the Twelfth or Fourteenth wards, as the
wedge shape of tbe city would
in the next ten years have no one
at night below Grant street, except watch
men and police to guard the business bouses in
tbat locality. The proposition to purchase the
present postoffice site is the'efore regarded as
useless, as in five years from now the present
postoffice will be so hopelessly downtown that
to make a central site for the library out
'of tbe building would be simply placing a
source of instruction and amusement in a place
where it would not be available.
FOR TWO ASSAULTS.
Lcatberhead Lonshrey and a Partner
Placed Under Arrest.
James Loughrey. alias ''Leatberhead" Longh
rey. and James McNally, young men who have
been wanted by the Third district police for
some time, were arrested last night and locked
up in the Fourteenth ward station. The prison
ers yesterday afternoon, it is charged, attacked
a Hebrew peddler named Moritz Jola, on Sec
ond avenue, and were in tbe act of robbing
him when citizens interfered.
They are also wanted to answer a charge
made by Conrad Lewis, who alleges, in an in
formation before Magistrate Hyndman, that
Loughrey and McKally attacked him on Satur
day night last and attempted to rob him. Tbe
Eair were arrested by Officers Madigan and
mncan. Loughrey, when placed under arrest,
deftly slipped tbe chamber ont of his revolver
and threw it into the street where it was after
ward found by a citizen and turned over to the
police authorities.
SCIENTIFIC ENTERTAINMENT.
The Session of the .microscopical Society
Last Evening.
Some 45 people attended tbe meeting of tbe
MIcrospIcal Society last evening In the parlor
of the Pittsburg Library to listen to a disserta
tion by Prof. Phillips upon tbe Bermudas, il
lustrated -by stereopticon views. Tbe lecture
was deeply interesting, and the people present
expressed themselves as highly gratified by the
evening's entertainment.
The views were of the most interesting char
acter, and were so distinctly shown that the
persons present,' probably one-third of whom
were ladies, expressed themselves as being very
pleasantly entertained.
THEY HAD NO LAND.
The Gllmores Arrested by J. W. Huston
& Co., tbe Wholesale Grocers.
Mary uilmore and R. R. Gilmore were ar
rested and brought from New Brighton yes
terday, on a charge of false pretenses, entered
by Leo Reed. -of tbe firm of J. W. Huston &
Co, the Seventh avenue wholesale grocers. It
is alleged that the Gilmores bought large
quantities of. goods from the plaintiffs, repre
senting that they were possessed of much real
estate, and were good for the indebtedness
they incurred, wben, in reality, they owned
nothing. The defendants were committed to
jail for a hearing Saturday.
DOUBLING THE POLICE.
How an Officer Went Into a Limited Life
Partnership.
PoliceOfficer Andy Scott, who is recognized
as the principal ornament of the corner of
Smithfield street and Diamond, was yesterday
married to Miss Kate Berry, sister of Deputy
Coroner Berry and of Sergeant Berry, of the
Eleventh ward station house. Tbe ceremony
was performed by tne Rev. Mr. Harsha.
Will Re-Christen It.
On acconnt of tbe existence of three post
offices In tbe State named Mansfield, there is a
scheme now-on foot in tbe town of that name a
few miles out on tbe Panhandle road to change
it to Monroe. For.a long time they have expe
rienced considerable' annoyance as far as their
mail delivery was concerned, which has become
so pronounced recently that it has occurred to
the citizens of the growing town that some
thing must be dono to remedy tbe evil.
Bor Badly Burned.
John Smith, a little boy living on Carnegie
avenue, was badly burned last night about, his
legs by his clothes catching fire from tbe open
grate in bis house.
PROHIBITORY TALK.
As Prohibition is Hot the Issne in the
license Court,
TflEW.CT.U.WILLRESTONITSOABS

test Numerously.
THE I. & 0. SOCIETY MAKES NO AT0WAL
The gathering of the W. C. T. "J. at the
Third TJ. P. Church was large considering
that it was only a monthly meeting; larger,
probably, than would have been the case if
the License Court were not billed to com
mence an engagement on St. Patrick's Day.
Madam President Spencer, of Beilevue.was
on hand, and proceedings were character
ized by vim, though, much of the session
was spent in devotional exercises. Some
people suggested that the late secession was
instrumental in stirring the ladies and con
ducive to a large attendance. Mrs. Dr. "W.
H. Page, superintendent of one of the
State departments of the work, stated she
had information showing that secession
hadn't succeeded to any great extent; that
at the recent quarterly convention of the
Chester county W. C. T. TJ. (loyal) the at
tendance was the largest in the history of
the organization ot that county.
"This," remarked a member, "it will Jje
remembered was the county the 'nonies'
thought they had captured soul and body,
over 200 accredited, delegates representing 35
loyal unions."
Mrs. K. S. Devore was elected Superin
tendent of the Juvenile Department, Mrs.
M. A. Acheson, Superintendent of the
Evangelistic Department; Mrs. J. M. Por
ter, Snperintendent of the Social Parity De
partment, and Mrs. G. "W. Gibson Superin
tendent of Legal 'Work. These elections
were to fill vacancies.
THE WEAKENING BEMOANED.
Mrs. Andrew Bryce read a letter from
State President Mary H. Jones in which she
bemoans the weakening of some since the de
teat of June 18. Many unions bad dropped all
department work, and concentrated their ener
gies and hopes on the success of tbe amend
ment; others worked unintelligently; others
plunged into debt, and are now mourning tbe
w.ant of ammunition, and still others depended
too much on the exertions of one or two women,
and when these props are taken away by illness
or removal, their sisters settle down into a
condition akin to mental paralysis. Tbe remedy
Mrs. Jones prescribes is "tbe thought of indi
vidual responsibility."
Miss McConcell read an extended account of
tbe financial status of tbe union which shows
it to be in fair condition in that respect
Mrs. Jones read a letter from the State Presi
dent, or rather extracts from it. as it was a pri
vate one. Some people were referred to as a
"trio of seceders who may endeavor to spread
treason in -the camps of the union." Mrs.
Jones said the union was neither partisan nor
political, and tbat the secessionists had for
feited all their rights in the W. C. T. Tj.
Mrs. Foster, of Johnstown, spoke at consid
erable length. She held that the union was
founded on Christian principles, and she did
not wish to see repudiated any political party
whose aim was the samo as that ot the union,
and tbe Cambria County Union was of her
opinion. Mrs. Foster hoped that dissenting
sisters would be treated gently.
The new organ of the union, called the
Pennsylvania W. C. T. TJ. Bulletin was pre
sented and indorsed. It takes the place of the
White Mibbon.
BRYCE FOBCED THE ISSUE.
About this'time Mr. Andrew Bryce took the
sisters by the back hair (they did not, as a rule,
wear bangs), and flung them into a discussion
of tbe license question and the action they pro
posed to take this season. Tbe answer so far
as beard was practically univocaL Mrs. Presi
dent Spencer stated that abo had asked for
giveness of God for assisting to disseminate
some literature, before reading it, eulogistic
of the Brooks law. As she read in tbe Bible,
no drunkard can enter the kingdom of God,
and she hoDed every lady present would do all
tbey could toward tbe suppression of places
where drunkards are made. A gen
eral expression was that as pro
hibition was not a factor in the
license contests, the union should take no part
In an organized capacity. The expressiou was
that the ladies should work individually to pre
vent, if possible, the extension of the liquor
traffic and the following, offered by Miss Mc
Connell. was adopted without dissent:
Kesolved. That we, as a county organization,
take no action with reference to the granting of
licenses this year.
Mrs.Tassy, of McKeesport, said they would
have no lawyer for the union there- She stated,
however, that as individuals tbey had gathered
data bearing on tbe value of repression of tbe
traffic in McKeesport and some information
respecting some licensed saloons and speak
easies, and would submit it for the considera
tion of tbe Judges.
Mrs. Bands. President of the Wallace Union.
and Miss Leech, President of the Fourth U.'P.
Y.'s, of Allegheny, formally presented the offi.
dal resignations oi tneir respective Domes,
which occurred some weeks ago, and a motion
to "accept them with regrets" prevailed.
The exercises concluded with prayer by Mrs.
Graham, of McDonald station. She prayed for
the abolition of the accursed liquor trade and
for.morcy for those who "licenso the damnable
traffic."
THEY MUST TACKLE A HEFTY JOB.
The effect of the Supreme Court decision on
tbe question ot wholesale license is that 499
more applicants to sell by quart measure and
upward have presented themselves this year
than did last year, while tbe applicants for re
tail license have only increased 101. Clerk of
Courts McGunnegle has tabulated the figures
for three years, and they show as follows:
18S8 1889 1890
Pittsburg 717 680 70S
Allegheny z"3 2or 239
Boroughs 193 172 190
Townships 189 133 138
1,324
Wholesale A 23
1,172
IBS
1,273
687
Total 1.553 1,360 1,960
As the gain in the number of applications in
Pittsburgh but 46 and In Allegheny but 82, in
all 78, and the gain in the county 600, it follows
that some people tbink there is room for 622
more houses for liquidating purposes in tbe
boroughs and townships than judged necessary
last year. The banner ward this year is tbe
Fourth ward, Allegheny City, which has 10
more applications filed than the Third, of this
city. The next in number is the Third, of
Allegheny, which presents 49 applicants. The
showing gives the W. C. T. U. and the Law and
Order societies an ample field for the exer
cise of obstructive talent.
It looks just now as though applicants for
license will not be subjected to tbe same
amount of badgering tbat worried them' ' last
year. No official declaration has been made by
the Law and Order Society, and Captain Wish
art is in doubt as to its course. He is reported,
however, as stating that the organization had
enough to do outside in the prosecution of vio
lators ot tbe law, and could not spare the time
nor take tbe trouble to make a fight in the
License Court. However, some people say they
will not be astonished if the society does take a
hand, notwithstanding its apparent unconcern.
William Yost, attorney for tbe society,
thought it would be time enough to act wben
the list of applicants is published. He said be
bad no instructions from tbe committee.
AN ALLEGHENY PIKE.
Warehouse of the Illinois I.cntbcr Company
Partly Consumed.
The warehouse ot the Illinois Leather Com
pany, on South Cinal -street, Allegheny, was
partially destroyed by. fire at S o'clock yester
day morning. The loss to stock and building
will approximate $5,000. Tbe conflagration is
supposed to have originated in tbe drying fan
where the hair used in plastering is prepared
for the market.

COMES BACK AT G0MPER8. '
W. 8. Sharon Replies to tbo Statements
Regarding: the Eight-Hour ' Law It '
Would Injure Labor Organizations
Mechanics Would Go Into tbe Country
Opposed to the Present System.
W. S. Sharon, editor of the Journal of
Building, has addressed a letter to, Samuel
Gompers, President of tbe Federation of
Labor, in which Mr. Sharon takes excep
tions to the statements in Mr. Gompers'
recent circular regarding the building
trades. He says that, in the event of the
interior towns and cities adopting the eight
hoar law. there would be an influx of
mechanics to the country towns, and the
cities would suffer in consequence. In his
letter Mr. Sharon says:
This assumption is the strongest factor of
lucidation, and the declarations are mere non
sense when we take Into consideration that the
question of shorter hours for a day's work for
the advancement of tbe social positions of the
workingman or woman is not the question in
volved, nor that the laborer will have to pay an
increased figure for the products he consumes.
These factors' are solely dependent first upon
the desire of tbe workingman or woman to
elevate tbeir positions in society, and not the
question of shorter hours of work to give them
more time for that elevation; secondly, it is not
the question' of cost of an article of consump
tion, but tbe ability to buy the article to be
consumed. That ability is not regulated
by longer or shorter hours, but by
the purchasing power that labor re
ceives for tbe functions performed. Tbe
great bulwark tbat impedes tbe shorter hour
day is our internal competition. By internal
competition Imeau the lack of universal or
ganization in the interior towns and villages
that come in competition with the narrow
drawn lines of perfect organizations in the
cities. The building trades are perhaps tbe
greatest sufferers of this competition, and in
the event of tho provallment of the eight-hour
day at this time, or until snch time as the
whole country can be educated up to the
theory, the loss will bo always to the detriment
of organized labor. It may seem a very beau,
tiful theory to bask in. plausible in tbe ex
treme to first crowd shorter hours on the cities
and the country will fall in line, but this is a
very barren ideality. If you can change this
theory so tbat tho interior towns and villages
will advocate and adopt the eight-hour day,
tbe tide of immigration will be to tbe country,
not as it now is to tbe cities. The country can
stand the influx, the city will starve under it.
The writer has within the past fortnight had
interviews with representative men of a con
stituency of fully one-half a million of artisans
in tne Dnuaing trades respecting this suDject.
and I must say that not in a single instance did
he find a representative who felt himself or
conld call to mind a single case where shorter
hours were begrudged merely out of antipathy
to the laboring mechanics, because tbat labor
harbored tbe idea tbat under the present con
ditions it was "Live to work," Instead of
"Work to live." The answer to my interroga
tion was unanimous, and as the National As
sociation of Builders, at St. Paul, agreed that,

QUICK POLICE WORK.
Detective Glenn Recovers Booty
Within an 'Hoar After Stolen.
A JOB PUT DPBY A1LE6HE5 Y BOYS,
Bat
Their Inexperienea Leads to Their
Immediate Betrayal.
THE GOODS EETDENED TO THE OWNER
Chief of Detectives John Glenn, of Alle
gheny, did a very clever piece of detective
work last night. He ran down two youth
ful robbers, and recovered their plunder
within one hour after .the robbery had been
reported to the Mayor's office.
About '6 "o'clock Mayor Pearson tele
phoned Chief Glenn that a theft had been
committed during the day at Ko. 89 Irwin
avenue. Mr. Glenn immediately went to
the place and found the house occupied by
Thomas Jones. Sometime during the day
while the family were at the Carnegie
library opening, the house was broken into
and some articles stolen. The thieves had
broken open one of the back windows, and
going up stairs, they entered one of the bed
rooms. There they forced open a trunk,
and from it took one gold watch, a chain
and a diamond ring.
Chief Glenn made dilegent inquiry among
the neighbors as to whether they bad
noticed any snspicious characters about the
vicinity.
A SMALL BOY TN THE CASK.
Oneof the residents of thestreet stated that
a small boy about 10 years of age had been
seen peering into the house through a cellar
window. "With the description of the boy,
Mr. Glenn started out in search or him. He
found a youngster living on Taggart street
named Samuel Grover,. who he thought was
the one seen around the bouse. The detective
called upon tbe father of the boy. but Mr.
Grover protested, saying bis boy had been
home all day; and could not have been near the
place when the robbery was, committed. The
boy also disclaimed any' knowledge of tbe rob
bery, and told a pretty good story about where
be had been during the day. After considera
ble questioning the officer learned that the boy
had been around the bouse during the after
noon. He admitted that he had been on Irwin
avenue, but disclaimed any knowledge of tba
robbery. He said he had been playing with
another boy named Charles Romel.
The Chief was positive that tbe youngster
was implicated, on account of the way he
dodged direct answers to questions. He there
fore visited the Romel boy, who also lived on
the same street. When ho found the second
boy he put on a bold front, and directly
charged him with the robbery. Mr. Glenn said
to him:
THE CHAEGE DIEECT.
"Sam Grover says you took tbat watch, chain
and nnc, and I have a notion to arrest you for
the theft"
The boy lmmedletely flared up to deny the
charge, and thereby gave the snap away. He
replied: "No, I didn't take it. He took it
himself and bid it across the street."
The two boys were confronted, and wben
young Grover saw that tbe jig was up he broke,
down and confessed to tbe theft. He said be
would return tb e goods to tbe owner. He took
the detective across the street, and from under
a pair of stairs leading -up to the house, he
pulled out a box containing the watch, chain
and ring. It must have been dark wben the
boys put the box there, as it projected out far
enough from under tbe steps to enable persons
to see it in daylight. Chief Glenn says the
boys cannot be more than 9 years of age, and
tbeir audacity was remarkable. He took them
before Mr. Jones, but the latter refused to
prosecute the boys. He said he might make
an information against tbem this morning, and
tbe detective allowed them to go to their
homes. The parents of tbe lads are respectable
people, and were astonished when tbey found
tbat the boys had really committed the theft.
At 7 o'clock Mr. Jones had bis property in his
possession. Tbe job is considered by the other
detectives to be about the- sliekest piece of
police work ever done In tbe two cities.

A Tribunal for Owners of Land Alone the
Ohio Connecting Railway.

Sewers met last night to consider tbe matter of
damages to property abutting the approaches,
to tbe Ohio Connecting Railway. It was gen
erally considered, without much discussion,
tbat the property holders would be willing to

tbe question ot damages, and tbe matter then

' HOW A GIAHT SLEEPS.
Bell Boys at tbe Doqnesne Unable to
Awaken General Hastings An Appoint
ment That Was Not Kept While Hs
Slept At the Political Headquarters.
The Republican headquarters yesterday
were visited by General Hastings, who is
in the. city for a few days in connection with
the military resources of Pittsburg. He
had a pleasant chat with the people pres
ent, and in speaking to Mr. Gonrley con
gratulated him upon a success which the Gen
eral regarded as a foregone conclusion.
Tba General and William Flinn walked out
side, leaned npon a pile of drygoods boxes, and
held an interesting conversation for half an
hour.
General Hastings received many callers at the
Hotel Dnquesne yesterday. On the previous
evening many who called to see him were told
that he was out. Tbe fact was that the General
was in, at least physically, He was very, tired
after bis Johnstown visit and his railway jour
ney. He lay down upon his bed at 830 P. m.,
without undressing, and went sound asleep.
He slumbered so bard that the rapping of the
boys on bis room did not awake him. It was
midnight when be awoke. He then went out
foraluncb.
General Hastings departed at 8:10 o'clock
last night for Harrisburg.- The General
seemed to be In good spirits. He has been on
"the go" almost constantly recently, but looks
well, and said It had rested him to come to
Pittsburg. Tbe General was asked if be would
be at tbe Department Encampment at
Shamokln. He said he tbought he would be
too busy to go. Official matters at the State
capital would claim his attention for some
time.
There were 48 people on a Penn avenne
traction car yesterday morning coming down
town, and tbe straw vote fiend commenced his
work upon the inoffensive passengers. He
was at once spotted, and while a smile went
around the car he gathered up the predilec
tions of tbe passengers, which resulted in 17
votes for the re-election of Controller Morrow
and Treasurer Deoniston, tbe other man con
fessing himself to be a resident of Wilkins
burg. and by the action of its citizens last year
when asked to come into the city was not in it.

CANDIDATE BAILEX
LIKENED THE MARTYRED LINCOLN TO
A HOUSE.
Tbe Members of the Union Clnb Resent the
Inialt and Adopt Resolutions Condemn
ing tbe Unpatriotic Democrat.
At a meeting ot the Union Club of Alle
gheny county on last Monday evening, Feb
ruary 10, 1890, the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
"Whereas, John H. Bailey did, on
November 4, 1861, at the 'Old Battery,'
corner of Grant and Webster avenue, Pitts
burg.deliver an address.of which the follow
ing is the report printed in tbe Pittsburg
Post of November 6, 1861, viz:
"Air. J. H. Bailey next took the platform
and thanked the Democracy of Allegheny
connty, on the part of the Democratic County
Committee for having sustained them so
well in tbeir labors for the Democratic
cause. He likewise returned the thanks of
tbe committee to the different ward organi
zations, with whose agency this campaign
was rendered a triumphant success, so that
the party of abolitionism never before met
snch a strong resistance. Cheers. The
State Central Committee and the National
Committee were also expressive of their
thanks to the Democracy of Allegheny
county for what we performed during tbe
campaign,,enligutening by onr labors this
dark hole of abolitionism. Having made
these few announcements, he delivered one
of the ablest and most telling addresses of
tne evening. He stated tbat the political
contest is about to close, and we are the
jury in this cause. The results ot our ver
dict are momentous, and require that we
should pay all due attention to them. The
different speakers of either party are the
advocates. A new species of advocates
have been introduced of late. The preacher
comes out to make political speeches day
and night, and are turning politicians, even
in the pulpit
"He here brought up the Parable in the
gospel of the. Master who invited several
guests to tbe feast, but they declined, and
he believed tbat those preachers would leave
the holy supper to attend political meetings.
They come to tell us our duty in regard to
the negro, as they have nothing else to
think about. Negroes are good enough in
their place, but they must not be placed on
the same standing with the white man.
Cries of No, -No. President Lincoln is
now on trial; you know him and have felt
him. They say that the pocket nerve is a
very delicate .one, and you have often felt
Mr. Lincoln in your pockets, bnt if he be re
elected to rule over us for four years more,
we will have no pocket nerve to feel him
with. Loud cheers and laughter.
But the President maintained that he
should not be put out of office we
should not swap horses in crossing a stream.
He properly characterizes himself when he
calls himself a horse. Laughter. And
we are sick of this horse administration.
Renewed laughter and cheers. But we
have nominated a man for the Presidency
a real man, not bearing any resemblance to
a horse. Cheers and laughter. This
horse, in leaving Springfield, said he wanted
the people to pray for him, and he needed it,
and by that means he showed his humility,
but.since that time be has become prond and
overbearing. Even before he arrived at
Washington, he declared himseli the rep
resentative of tbe people, and shortly after
ward the representative of the majesty
of the people. Laughter. He then
spoke of the President's tortuous
route to Washington. Since his nom
ination Lincoln ' has kept on making
his speeches, and .directs the actions
of every man, according to his own way, and
wnen his plan prove a failure, he always
finds somebody who will bear the responsi
bility. He made General Bnrnside appear
before the people with a lie in bis mouth.
General Grant who, to say the least, is a
better General than Lincoln knew that if
he would not adopt the President's plan in
making a move on Bichmond,. he would not
be supplied with a sufficient number of men
to prevent disaster. When any disaster oc
curs, he provides himself with an answer,
and publishes his own and a letter of Gen
eral Grant to 'shove the responsibility from
his own shoulders..Tet this is the man ther
wish to elect President.
"He has not permitted us to know the
truth during this war, and he would not
hesitate to say' that the last movement of
General Grant on Bichmond was more than
a reconnaissance. The fact is, Lincoln
wanted to make political capital by taking
Bichmond previous to the election. He
next spoke' of .the displays which the Ee
pnblicans make in. this city, and stated that
the procession which they held a few even
ings ago was- a miserable failure. The
Democratic procession in tbe little town of
Clinton was only five minutes less in
passing a given point, which shows
that it nearly equaled, in point
of numbers, the abolition proces
sion of Thursday night In the procession
which came off at Clinton, he noticed a very
appropriate transparency. On one side
was represented Abraham Lincoln with his
foot on the Constitution, and on the reverse
was General McCIellan. with the Goddess
of Liberty presenting him the safeguard of
the Constitution. Owing to the lateness of
the hour, and the press of other prominent
speakers who were present, the gentleman
here resumed his seat amid thunders of ap
plause." Be it resolved by the Executive Board of
the Union Club of Allegheny connty, that
we condemn in the strongest terms the lan
guage so used, and the speaker who used it,
and pledge ourselves to use every honorable
effort to encompass his defeat.
