King, John Gibbons and Jackson, all Democrats, for Common, and George H. Trusch, a Republican, for Select Council. Such a thing as an opponent against Magistrate McKenna, could not be thought of and the 'Squire will have a walk over. In the old "bloody fifth," John C. Reilly is running for Select, with Patrick White and William Collins for Common Council. It is needless to say that the trio are Demo crats. In the Sixth ward, Harry B.

Ke- ublican; W. E. Eisenbeis and Edward Klotz, dependent. About the Allegheny City Hall there were few politicians yesterday. Ex-Mayor Wyman remained at his house and received a great number of visitors. The Republi cans are confident "of his election by a ma jority of 2,000. The Democrats believe that Mr. Stayton will receive a large vote from independent Republicans who do not approve of the methods of Mr. Wyman's iormer administration. The Wyman men say there may be tome voters of "that kind, but that they will be offset by the Demo crats who will vote for Wyman." It is said that Mr. Wyman is receiving monetary aid from Pittsburg. He has an army ot workers, and will have the noils well manned to-morrow. Mr. Stayton ap pears to bear the burden of his campaign almost wholly on his own shoulders. The Democratic City Committee has done noth ing to reveal the existence of such an or ganization. Some ot the Aidermanic contests are ap parently close, and, to a fev politicians, qnite interesting. In the first ward Edward L. Braun, the druggist, defeated Alderman Tatem by 97 votes at the Republican primary. Tatem is a crippled veteran. He receives a pension of $50 a month. Upon the advice of some of bis friends, including City Hall officials, be has decided to stand as an independent candidate. Mr. Braun is a brother to the late Gns Braun, who was Chief of Police of Pittsburg. In the Third ward the race between Mc Nulty and Waldschmidt appears to be a close one. A number of Republicans openly declare their support of the Democratic can didate. McNulty defeated Brown at the Re publican primary by 12 votes only. Alderman Brinker has two independent antagonists in the Twelfth ward. It is a German ward and both his antagonists are Germans. Klotz is a confectioner and Eisenbcis a druggist. Two members of the Board of School Con trollers will be elected in each ward. With a few exceptions the present members have been re-elected. It was announced at City Hall yesterday that all the principal workers for Cruik shank and Bader had announced their sup port of Wyman. Sonthslde Election Returns. Full election returns will be bulletined at the Southside office of The Dispatch, 1220 Carson street, Tuesday evening. Political Notes. Colokel Sam Kiloore yesterday formally withdrew from the Mayoralty contest in favor of Mr. Gourley. William Bader yesterday wrote s. personal letter to J. G. Wyman indorsing his candidacy as a Republican. Captain Martin, in a card, withdraws as an independent candidate for Mayor in favor of Isaac R. Stayton. Joseph Tbaub has announced himself In the field for School Director of the Ninth ward, Pittsburg, and will run on the independent ticket with Alderman C. O'Donnell. On Saturday night the First Wardlnde Dendent Ulnb held a meeting and indorsed the nomination of Thomas Delaney for Council and of the Republican city candidates. It is apparent that the informations made before Alderman Reilly Saturday afternoon against the 14 "speak-easy" proprietors are only the beginning of a general crusade against a class of citizens of which about 200 are liable to be arrested for illegal liquor selling within the next few days. It may be said, too, that the warfare is not being made for political pur poses. The dealers against whom informa tions have been made are men of Republican and Democratic faiths, and those yet to be prosecuted will be informed against without regard to politics. Tt was reported in the First ward yesterday that 'County Detective Langhorst had a list of 96 names of illicit liquor sellers against whom informations would be made to-day, and that the majority of these would come from that ward. It was also stated that Langhorst had gone out of the city to avoid the newspaper men. TAKING SOMEPBECATJTIONS. Repeated calls at his house on Hemlock street, Allegheny, yesterday afternoon and last night failed to find the gentleman at home. The supposition was that he did not want to give any information about the in tended warfare "for fear that the dealers would take the hint and change their quar ters. When District Attorney Johnston was seen at a late hour last night be talked rather cautiously about the matter. He said: "It is the duty of some citizen to proceed against all violators of the law. The de partment seems to think it is not their duty, and since Agent McCall's term of office has expired, there is no one left to do the work but the county detective. I don't know ab solutely that Mr. Langhorst has any addi tional names just now, although he may have, but I will say that as fast as names and witnesses are furnished you can rest assured that the people who are running illegal places will be prosecuted. I don't care who they are, how many there may be or from what section of the city they may come." THE POLITICS OP IT. "It seems a little strange that this move should be made just at this time so close to the election," was suggested. "I don't know that it has any political significance," said Mr. Johnston. "Those names against whom informations were made Saturday may have been furnished by some one connected with the Democratic headquarters, but if they were I do not know it" "Hdw long will it be before other infor mations will be made?" "Mr. Lanshorst has charge of all that work. I cannot tell. Jnst as fast ai names and evidence are furnished prosecutions will follow." Chairman Foley, of the Democratic City Committee, said yesterday that he did not know anything about the matter, but he was sure the movement had not emanated from his committee. W. J. Brennen also denied having any knowledge of the affair. He said "he did not think there could beauy political significance-attached to it, unless the move would only be made against those "speak easy " proprietors who are alleged to have been sheltered and protected by the Department of Public Safety, for the good they may be able to do at to-morrow's election. But as the move seems to be a general one, and it was not likely a hearing could be had in anv of the cases until alter the election, he did not think it possible that it was being done for political effect. MOEE LIVELINESS COMING. In this connection it may be stated that Alderman Cassidy will make it lively lor the people in. the First ward to-morrow, if his word is to be taken for it About two months ago he caused all of the disorderly houses in his ward toDe closed for several dayg In tj,ese konses there were nearly a hundred registered miters. The Aldermans - ;8 that these men having no fixed piace 0f residence were thereby deprived of their citizenship. He stated yesterday that he had the names of eacn one ot tnese, and to-morrow he will keep a careful watch over each polling place, and will cause the arrest of all those who attempt to vote. Although he is a candi date for re-election and is having a hard fight, he says he is not anxious for the support or this or the liquor element. He says he will have informations ready, so that there will SHIPMENT OP CORPSES. The State Board of Health Makes New Bale Some Cases of Disinterment Are Strictly Forbidden Relative Not Al lowed to Travel With the Remain of Departed One. The State Board of Health has just issued a circular containing the regulations for the transportation and disinterment of dead bodies. The undertakers of this city have been furnished copies of the circular, from which the following extracts have been taken. The removal of dead bodies from any burial ground sltnated within the built up portions of any city or borough is for bidden between April 1 and October 15. No body can be moved from its original place of interment without permission of the local board. The transportation of bodies of per sons dead of smallpox, varioloid, Asiatic cholera, leprosy, typhus fever or yellow fever is strictly forbidden. The bodies of persons dead of diphtheria, membranous croup, anthrax, scarlet fever, puerperal fever, typhoid fever, erysipelas, measles, whooping cougb, or dysentery must be wrapped in a sheet thoroughly saturated with a strong solutioh of bi-chloride of mer cury, and encased in an air-tight zinc, tin, copper or lead lined coffin.

SHOPLIFTING AS A TEADB. MED ON FIREBUGS. Incendiarism the Only Plausible Cause for Oakland Fires. - NATURAL GAS COULDN'T DO IT. Citizens of That Section Demand Investiga tion and Protection. A MANIA P0K ARSON TO BE CHECKED A Befall Dealer Telia How He Snflers From the Evils of this Practice. The head of a local retail store in chatting yesterday about his business said the great est trouble he had to contend with was the shoplifter. It is surprising, he stated, how people of all classes will slip small things when they think the clerks are not looking, and frequently on account of the promi nence of the persons they can't complain. Sometimes they quietly add the price of what is taken to the bill, but when the practice becomes too bold they have to re sort to the law. "Sou would be surprised," he added. "what kind of people are guilty of this- naDit. juany ot them are wealthy and well able to pay for what thev quietly sneak. It is not always the poor, as one wonld im agine, who do the stealing." AH ATTEMPT TO STOP IT. Endeavors to Preserve Intact the Ranks of he W. C. T. D. Mrs. Francis J. Barnes, of New York, the national superintendent of the Young Woman's Christian Temperance Union, will lectnre in Allegheny next Thursday night. The intention is to secure a church, and the location will be announced later. Mrs. Barnes is on her way to attend the Beaver county convention, " which meets Fridav. Mrs. Barnes is a fluent speaker, and has been induced to stop here to lecture, in the hope that she will close up the wavering lines and stop the desertions to the new women's organization, that have grown to proportions alarming to the older body. A KEW lOKKEE'S ESTIMATE. J. D. Waring- Compliments the Art Loan Exhibit Hlchly. J. D. Waring, a New York art dealer stopping at the Anderson for a few days, took occasion to visit the art exhibit in the Carnegie Library a few days since. In reference to it, he states that he was much surprised at the magnitude and excellence of the collection, and does not think there is any city outside ot New York or Boston that can show anything superior. Chicago has quite a reputation as an art center, but it would be unable, in Mr. Waring's opinion, to put up a better dis play than that on view in Alleghenv the -past week. The number of conflagrations with which Oakland has of late been afflicted has con- confirmed the theory that incendiaries were at work in that section. As often as this idea has been given publicity it waslaughed down as being ridiculous., the laughers in variably proponnding the question: "What motive could the incendiaries bave?" The reasons advanced were that the work, if done maliciously, must have been done for spite, or in the hope of gain, in the way of robbing neighboring houses, allowed to left unprotected during the excitement of the fires. Others again raised the natural gas theory a theory which had good argu ment to maintain it, as it is universally ad mitted that the pressure is very erratic in that vicinity, particularly at night about 11 o'clock, necessitating extreme care on the part of consumers to prevent accident. Again, it was argued that the fires might be caused by the boys of the vicinity, who were continually found playing in and around the structures destroyed. ' SEABCH FOE THE CAUSE. With the idea of fixing definitely and reasonably on some canse or other, a Dis patch representative has thoroughly can vassed the district. The Oakland patrol station seemed to offer the best starting point, and it was pitched upon first. But little information of value could be elicited there. Whether or no those in charge there resent the many imputations that they are not attending to the district under their charge as carefully as they should, or whether the idea prevails that to be surly and silent is to be dignified, or when ques tioned direct meant that an indirect reply would be the correct thing; certain it is that little news could De obtained there. The only reply that came near having any connection with the inquiry was one to the effect that there was "more fuss than feathers" in the prevailing reports; that the fires generally resulted from care lessness in the handling of fuel, gas, etc. Inasmuch as it was afterward found that in only one or two or the ten or more cases investigated natural gas was in use in the buildings burned, the sarcastic assertions of the police officials will hardly hold good. A LOOK AT THE BTJINS. AMERICA LEADS. Yankee Steel Manufacturers Have Knocked Oat the English In Canadian Market Cheapness Is Attained and Better Qual ityPossibilities of Commercial Union. J. B. Armstrong, a steel man of Guelph, Canada, is at the Anderson Hotel. Mr. Armstrong states that the time has come when American steel has knocked ont the English in Canadian markets. He says he has been expecting it, but he didn't think the time would come so soon. The Ameri cans can now not only compete with foreign ers in point of cheapness In the manufacture of steel, but the quality is much better. Mr. Armstrong is a heavy buyer of steel, and he also mates it. He says he was forced to locate his works' in Michigan in order to be able to meet bis neighbors across the border. He asked the Canadian Customs Collector for a rebate, but it was refused, and he was compelled to manufacture in America. Mr. Armstrong stated that the trade is only in its infancy, and that steel can be put to a great many uses. He exhibited tiro thin strips of steel, one of which could be bent with slight pressure, the other wonld yield a little, but returned to its original po sition as soon as the weight was removed. "Steel," continued Mr. Armstrong, "is fast becoming inflexible. It depends on the process of tempering and the amount of car bon used. These things will be remedied in time. Now, I manufacture carriages and sleighs out of steel. The shafts and tongues are all one piece, and are as light as wood and more durable. "As to commercial union with America, I think it would be a good thing for Can ada, and even annexation is possible. I remember a few years ago the people were afraid to talk much about either, bnt now thev discuss both Questions freelv. Sir John McDonald is the strongest man the Tories have on the Government Board, and after he dies I really don't know what tbey will do for a leader. The trouble with Canada is that the country is large, and they haven't the people. What are 5,000, 000 inhabitants, anyhow? They need out side assistance and immigration. The Canadians, however, are of good stock, and make excellent citizens." ENGLISH MONEY A BLESSING. be nothing to do but to fill in names, and every man who attempts to vote who is" not entitled to he will pnt them in the peni tentiary if possible. CABBYING ON THE WAS. Alderman Cassidy says that whether he is elected or not he will go into the License Court and appear against all applicants who have beenjselling illegally during the year, and he intimates that he has some evidence that will startle the applicants. The speak-easy run by Andrew A. Bomer at 562 Fifth avenue was yesterday raided by Detectives Shore, Coulson and Hendel, who arrested four boys. Bomer and his wife got awav. but will be taken to-dav. Bomer had a barber shop and conducted a flourishing illicit liquor business in the rear of the shop. He was raided a few days ago. and is now under bail for illegal selling. He returned tn his business at once after securing bail. Yesterday he man aged to gain an inkling of the de tectives approach, and was not in the building when they arrived, though he returned later and accused a Mr. Hamil ton, who Jives in the upper part of the house with having informed upon him. Hamilton said last night that be intended to prosecute Bomer to-day for pointing a revolver at him ana threatening to sill him. Inspector McAleese will also enter addi tional informations for Sunday selling, sell ing liquor to minors and without license against Bomer. THE HOME OPENED. The Wife of a Former Plttsburcer Builds an Asylnm for Invalids. The Albert Glockner Home at Colorado Springi, built by Mrs. Glockner in honor of her dead husband, was formally opened about a week: ago. The Home cost about $200,000, and is endowed so that invalids can secure the benefits of the climate at a moderate cost. Albert Glnrkner, it will be remembered, formerly livea in Pittsburg, and is well known here. His widow has done great work for charity in the construction ot an asylnm for the sick in such a place.

The next place visited was the house or rather the ruins of a house owned by .George McMillan, now residing in Chatta nooga, Tenn. This house had been unoc cupied since last fall, but, as several persons had been at won: in the building for several days previous to its destruction, preparing it for Mr. Mold, of Hugus & Hacke's, who had rented it, it may have been natural gas in this instance. Opinions differ re garding it, but the majority favor the gas theory in this case, as the light of the grate fire had been noticed showing through the window during the previous evening, but the conflagration did not take place until 3 a. m. on February 2. This was the only Iinncp ihnt wna in a finished ctntf About 200 feet from the McMillan house, at tne junction 01 uumore ami vraru streets, are the ruins of the two houses burned shortly after 9 o'clock on Wednesday evening last. The natural gas theory docs not appear to be worth a button in this case. The houses were in course of erection. Only one was under roof. No plaster of any kind had been applied, and even the chimneys had nqt been built. j NO CHILDREN ABOUT. The neighbors claim that no children were about and had not been for some time. The nearest neighbor, a Mr. Collins, who works in the Keystone Mill, was the first to dis cover it, and be gave tbe alarm, out notning could be done to save tbe houses. On tbe same street tbe ruins of tbe charm ing little brick bouse of Mr. Harry Bussell are located. This house was nearer com pletion than any of the others, but no natural gas connection had been made, as the chimnevs were not completed, and it contained no hearths at all. Plasterers had been at work on the ceilings, but on account of the conditions mentioned no fire had been used in the house. In this instance there is almost undoubted proof of incen diarism. Several nights before the con flagration a domestic employed in the house of Mr. Bobert Sellers, which adjoins that ot liussell, was standing on tbe rear porch of the house, when she heard a noise very like that ot an igniting match in the Bussell structure, and noticed a light flash in a moment through the windows. Almost immediately a man jumped from the rear of the house and fled rapidly down the hill. If arson was in tended it was a failure, for it did not burn that night, but the girl called her employer's attention to the matter the following morn ing. BEEAKXNG THE NEWS. Meeting Mr. Bussell shortly after, Mr. Sellers said, "I say, Harry, somebody wants that house of yours." Mr. Bussell, not understanding, what was meant by this remark, Mr. Sellers informed him of the occurrence of the night before. The former thought but little of the matter until it was forcibly recalled by the confla gration following a night or two afterward. On Boquet street another house was located, in which shavings and wood chips had been saturated with oil, but it burnt itself out without doibg any damage, on account of the greenness of the wood. An other house on Atwood street, in which oil had been poured on the parlor floor and, ignited. Then the fire in Oakland square' on New Year's eve an occasion, by the way, celebrated by four different attempts at incendiarism in the house being built by Contractor C. H. Chance, and a number ot others situated on Oakland, Fifth and Sylvan avenues, and Ward and Charles streets, where the attempts at incendiarism are clearly proven. NO KATTTBAIi gas these. In none of these cases, as far as conld be learned, had natural gas been turned on, so that 'theory must be abandoned. Nor is there any proof that fire of any other kind had been in use in these houses. Messrs. William Biggev.John Moore and C. H. Chance, contractors and builders,have used every effort to get a clue to the incen diaries, but without avail. They rather favor the idea that the acts are all commit ted by one person who has a sort of mania on the subject. Another belief which has gained considerable credence is that some one who feels sore at the employment of "scab labor," or non-union men on the building work, is at the bottom of the trouble, but this hypothesis loses weight when it is found that in the case of the house on uaKiana square, wnicn contractor Chance was building, only union labor was employed. Whether any non-union men were working on the others cannot be posi tively Btated.but from what could be learned, there were. Whatever may be the cause certain it is that residents are very much alarmed in Oakland. Everyone spoken to admitted nervousness, and demanded that active measures be taken for their relief. Contractors are very timid at present, and in every case are hesitating to accept con tracts tor buildings of any kind, as with but one exception, the conflagrations occnr in houses in process of erection, and the loss usually falls on the contractors. It Comes In nt Critical Moments to Aid American Manufacturers. "Do you know," said Mr. A. T. Dou thett, of the Porter Foundry and Machine Company, "that not less than 81,000,000 of English money has been coming into America for the last two years, and the time is coming when I believe it will be in creased to a ?1,000,000 per day. This En glish capital is a grand, good thing. The Americans are a progressive but new people. They have increased the capacity of their plants beyond their means, and they are hampered somewhat for reserve capital. This English money coming in acts as ballast and keeps business at a steady pace. "You see, the English are an old people, and they have branched out into all parts of the world and made fortunes. They naturally wander back to London to enjoy their possessions, and then they don't know what to do with it. They can't invest in England at any profit," so they come to America, and place it where it will mater ially help us and yield a handsome reward in return. I never realized before so much as I do now the grand resources of America and the possibilities of trade in this country." A 50IST QUARTET. Four Allesbenlaus Taken From a House on Rebecca Street and Fined. A noise at tbe house at No. 414 Bebecca street Sunday morning attracted the atten tion ot the police, and caused the arrest of John Smith, Thomas Welsh, Andrew Mc Tighe and Maggie Jones. The arresting officer was CuIIen, and he testified to hear ing a great racket in tbe house at 2 o'clock, and that all were drunk except the woman. John Smith and Maggie Jones are hus band and wife, and both gave fictitious names. They were fined by Mayor Pearson $10 and costs each, while the other two men were let off with a fine of $5 and costs each. BEIGHT LIGHTS IH TOWN. Delegates to tbe Electrical Convention Will Inspect Oar Institutions The Results of ibe Convention of Great Public BeacBt With Regard ta Home Illouilnatlon. A number of delegates to the National Convention of Electricians, at Kansas City, arrived in Pittsburg last night and were en tertained by Morris Meade, Superintendent of the Bureau of JEIectricity, of this city. The following gentlemen, who are among the shining lights in electrical circles, will to-day inspect the police and fire alarm ap paratus of this city and the Westinghonse electric light plants: P. H. Alexander and F. A. Wyman, of tbe Sawyer-Mann Com pany, New York City; Captain William Brophy.InspectorofElectricLightingofthe New England States; D.Killicutt.Inspector of Electrio Lines, Boston; D. H. Flanders, Superintendent of Fire Alarm Telegraph of Boston. These gentlemen will remain in the city until to-morrow morning and will be shown around by Mr. Mead. Speaking of the late electrical convention, Mr. Mead says mnch was accomplished toward simplifying' and systematizing the science of electricity. Measures were adopted which will lead to the electric light companies all over the country adopting a uniform standard of voltage, so'that electric railways may be supplied with power from the light plants, three of the largest com panies in the country having already signi fied their intention of adopting the new sys tem. A standard of insnlation of wires and of laying them for interior lighting purposes was also adopted, this being one of the niost important results of the convention. It is claimed that the majority, in fact, nearly all, the fires that occur from electric lights in houses are the results of imperfect insulation and improper lavincr of wires. This state of things is to be entirely changed under the J new arrangement, ana electric lights are to be far the safest as tar as fires'are con cerned. The convention recommended that a sys tem of instruction, with licensed instructors, men learned in the business of constructing electric currents, be adopted and the system taken in charge by the association. Plans were adopted also to promote harmony be tween the electric light companies and the Fire Underwriters' Association. A com mittee, representing all the States, was ap pointed to watch legislation relating to elec tricity and assist in enlightening the public on the subject. A great many other meas ures tending toward systematizing the busi ness were adopted, and the convention ad journed to meet at Cape May next August . THE PEESESCE OF GOD. A Selentlne Reasoning of the Subject by a4 Universalis!. Bev. W. 8. Williams, pastor of Christ Church, TJniversalist, last night changed his topic from "Tick, Tick," to an address on the presence of God, by request of the members of bis congregation. As he speaks extempore he had no difficulty in giving an address upon the subject desired. He denned the presence of God from the standpoint of sci entists, of the various religious denomina tions and his own. From tbe one he placed the Creator outside the world as an inde pendent Being and a constructor of the universe; from another he placed Him as pervading all space and consequently the work He had performed, both as regards the human race and the globe itself. An other theological definition of the presence of God was that it dwelt in the human race alone and the better instincts and principles therein shown. Mr. Williams gave his idea that the omnipresence of the godhead per vaded all creation and was felt throughout. At the conclusion of tbe services, Ber. Mr. Williams gave certainly a lesson to many ot the other denominations in hurry ing to the door ot tbe TJ. V. L. Hall, where) the sermon was given, and shaking hands with each member of the congregation as he or she left the hall. This was lully ap. predated by those present. MUSI0 IK THE SPHEBES, Where Criminals Find Their Only Induce ment to Go to Jail. Beligious services at the Jail yesterday presented more 'attractive musical features than those in many of the city churches. The vocalists were Mrs. Frank Haslage, the Misses George and Flowers and Messrs. Harry Brockett, George and W. H. Brown, George Letsche and Charles Heminghouse. The services were conducted by Bev. E. B. Donehoo. and Sheriff McCandless filled tha position of organist. As a conclusion to the services Mrs. Has lage sang "Home, Sweet Home," with such pathos that many of the prisoners were vis ibly affected. Communicated, CALLED LINCOLN A H0BSE AND THE SOLDIEES IT. WILL RESE5T Colonel Btamnel Kllgore Withdraws From the Mayoralty Eight and Scores Bailey. Febeuaex 15, 1890. To the Public: In response to the requests of many sol dier friends I became a candidate for Mayor. When the Democratic Convention nomi nated John H. Bailey, who dnring the war, in public speeches, denounced the martyred Lincoln as a horse, characterized the war as a failure and called the Union soldiers Lincoln hirelings, it became my duty to do everything in my power to encompass his defeat I therefore withdrew as a candi date, and " will, in common with the other Union soldiers of Pittsburg, cast my vote for Henry L Gourley and against John H. Bailey, the villifier of the martyred Lin coln and the soldiers who risked their lives for our glorions Union. Bespectfully, Samuel Kjlgoee. BEGHJNIHG ON THE E00P. In 35 Bays More the Government Building Will be Under Cover. Inspector Pattison said last night they would begin the work of putting the roof on the Government building this morning and the job would be completed in 35 days. The trouble has been so far that they hadn't enough storage room, and the granite had to be piled up promiscuously. Tbe stones wanted were generally in the bottom, and more time was lost in getting them out than to set the pieces. The Inspector still thinks tbe first floor will be ready for the postoffice by October 1. Excursion to Washington City. The B. & O. E. B. will sell excursion tickets to Washington, D.

The Brooks Foundry Company, of that city, sent to Pittsburg and are advertising for non-union men to go to Cleveland. The wages they offer are considerably higher than paid in most cities, and the union men here claim it is only a bait thrown out to catch men. PELL UNDER A TRAIN.
