THE? PITTSBTTRG DISPATCH, MONDAY, FEBRITART IT, 18901 r
SHE LIKES JAIL LIFE.
AlSoulhside Woman Sent up for Ten
;Dajs, Kearly Three Months Ago,
OAK!T BE FIEED BY THE WARDEN.
Her Sanity Qnestioned oy Her Own Father,
and She is Committed.
KO ATTEMPTS TO PEOYE SHE'S CKAZI
Had "Warden Berlin, of the county jail,
the same charge upon his hands as he has
to-day he could have jjiven Charles Reade a
pointer for another good insane asylum
novel. On November 25s 1889, he leceived
Kiss Mary McClosky, aged 32, committed
by Judge Brokaw for ten days, to be exam
ined as to her sanity. She was accompanied
by a certificate from Dr. TV. J. Martin, of
the Southside, stating that he had known
her for fire or six years, and in his opinion
she was insane and a dangerous person to be
at large.
As in all such cases, Warden Berlin took
charge of the 'woman, but during the ten
days, and, in fact, ever since, neither be nor
any of his officers discovered any signs of
insanity. Dr. Chessrown, the jail physi
cian, declined to make any affidavit as to
her insanity, and the Warden says she has
been industrious and obedient, doing what
ever she was told by the matron, and doing
it well. She sews well, he said, and could
write a rood letter, although she's not well
educated, and he could see nothing about
her to'indicate insanity. The only trouble
he saw was a disinclination to return to her
home.
BID NOT WAST TO LEAVE.
When the time allotted had expired and
the Warden set her at liberty, he says she
sat on the steps in front and cried, saying
she was afraid to go home. Warden Berlin,
after vainly persuading her to go home, saw
no course open but to take her in again, and
consulting District Attorney Johnston on
the subject, he was told that for the small
expense she would be it would be better to
keep her until some family could be found
who wonld employ her as a domestic for
which position she is both capable and will
ing. Warden Berlin states he sent word by
Mrs. Wright, a lady living at No. 10 Cliff
street, in whose service the woman was for
over two years, and who took considerable
interest in her welfare, to both her father
and Dr. Martin, that if they would produce
two witnesses who knew her and would
swear she was insane he wonld have her
sent to Dixmont. No reply was sent to the
request. He wrote a formal letter to Dr.
Martin, asking him if he would make affi
davit and procure two other people who
knew the woman to also make affidavits as
to her insanity. The Warden has not yet
received the courtesy of an answer. He is
at a loss to know what to do in the prem
ises. He cannot send her to a hospital, as
she is not sick, nor to Dixmont, as no one
will make affidavit that the is insane, and
he cannot turn the woman out into the
streets.
Deputy Warden Soflel will next week
take her to do housework at his residence
in the Thirty-second ward, and thus relieve
the county of a boarder who pays for her
keep in work and pay her wages.
AS SHE TELLS IT.
The woman's story, as told by herself, is
a rather peculiar one. She states that she
was ill-treated at home. She worked hard
to keep house and attend to the boarders,
from whom her father, Bernard McClosky,
derived a living. He was old and feeble,
but had an unfortunate failing in an appe
tite for whisky. When he got hold of any
of the income of the boarding house he
would proceed to blow it in with celerity.
She then made up her mind to co ont as a
domestic, and did so, bnt her father would
use np her wages which she contributed to
the household expenses, and her mother, in
stead of being thankful for the help she
rendered, scolded her.
She says she was visited in the jail by her
parents, whose accusations of violence and
of slapping her mother in the face she
promptly denied in the presence of the
Warden. To a clergyman who had taken
her to the jail she gave evidence of a re
tentive memory, if not of a sound mind.
She said: "You sent me to St. Francis'
Hospital before for treatment, and I got it
by being put to wash the dirty clothes of
the patients. I was sent out of that institu
tion on a rainy Jay, without even 5 cents to
pay my car fare home. In this jail I am
better treated than I was in the hospital.
When yon put me in a cab, saying you were
going to take me to another hospital, yon
landed me in jail, and I don't think it
looked very well for you to tell an untruth."
The only violence she admits to have
used was against one of her own sisters, who
was said to have been guilty of an indiscre
tion, and whom she threatened with castiga
tion unless she confessed the circumstances
and told the name of her lover. This, she
told the jail authorities, the sister had done,
under the circumstances, bnt Mary had been
told since that her sister had been married,
but she did not believe it, as she had
frequently demanded to see the certificate,
bnt had been put off with one excuse or an
other, and this was the excuse her parents
had lor accusing her of insanity and vio
lence. WHAT THE DOCTOB SATS.
Dr. W. J. Martin was seen at his home at
1712 Carson street. He said he bad been the
family physician for many years, and he
had always heard the daughter spoken of as
being an unruly girl. "He had always
noticed something peculiar in her actions,
and thought that there was something wrong
with her mind. He wrote the recommenda
tion at the request of Mr. Bernard Mc
Closky, the girl's father. The latter told
the physician that Mary was unruly,
abusive and obstinate, and the family could
not get along with her. On occasions,
when matters would go contrary to her
wishes, she would get beyond all control.
Dr. Martin simply said in the recommenda
tion to the jail officials that he considered
Miss McClosky 's case worthy of an investi
gation. An effort was made to find Mr. McClosky,
bnt be has moved from Sauky's row, on
Harcum street, where he was said to Jive.
None of the neighbors could tell where he
now lives.

A VERY UNIQUE TEST.
One Central Traction Car'Ueed for nn Experi
mentThe Carves nt the Berron Avenne
Station Tboronsjbly Tried An Antomallc
Arrangement at Francis Street.
A trial trip has been made on the Central
traction road. Not over the entire line, to
be sure, but a portion of the track has been
tested by a real cable car propelled (one
way) by a real cable. The curves entering
the station on Herron avenue, at the upper
end, are very short, and it was considered
desirable, in viewol the trouble encountered
at other points, that they should be
thoroughly tried.
The manner of the test was decidedly
unique. An ordinary dump-cart, to which
was harnessed an exceedingly ancient-looking
mule, was attached to the rear end of
one of the cars in the building. By this
means, and the volunteer assistance of a
number of spectators and small boys, the
car was backed perhaps 200 yards down
Herron avenne. The cable was then started
very gently and the first trip on the road
commenced.
The curves did not work altogether satis
factorily, and the somewhat ludicrous backing-out
and running-in process was repeated
several times. Finally it was announced
that this particular spot would be all right,
although some of those present had doubts
on the subject.
The work of placing the new pulleys in the
dip at Francis street was completed yesterday
morning, and thebalance of the day devoted
to similar work at Chauncey street. This new
contrivance is a rather peculiar one, and
widely divergent views are expressed as to the
practicability of the scheme. A swinging
arm, with a solid pulley on the end. rests
upon the cable, being held in place by a
weight. When in operation the grip of the
passing car is supposed to push the pulley
aside, and then the weight is to force it
back again.
"Great chance there for a smashup sprae
dav," remarked one of a group of curious
individuals who were examine the mechan
ism, yesterday. "An automatic contrivance
of that description is likely to get out of or
der at any time. I would not be surprised
to hear of something happening right here."
Engineer Bice is understood to have stated
in conversation that the plans on which the
track was constructed were faulty, and that
in several places the cable was not occupy
ing the position that it should. If the pres
ent remedies prove successful, however, a
trial trip overthe entire line would be made
very shortly. It is likely to be some time
yet. though, belore the denizen of Herron
Hill can be regularly whirled to Wood
street in 15 minutes.
SATDEDAT NIGHT EYIL D0EES.
How They Came 00" In the Tnulo With
Justice.
Just a score of prisoners put in an appear
ance from the Central station cells yester
day morning before Judge McKenna, who
dispensed the terrors of the law, also to the
Twelfth and Seventeenth ward cases. Of
the Central station cases, John McGarvey
got 90 days for kicking in the door of his
mother's house on Chestnut street; William
Boyd got 30 days for assaulting Bobert Wat
son with bricks and cobbles, Boyd's son be
ing discharged on the same charge; John
Williams got a fine of $25 and costs for as
saulting William Manks at the latter's honse
on Wvlie avenue and for pulling a revolver
on Officer Diehl. The remaining cases were
disposed of with light fines and sentences.
Of the Seventeenth ward cases Frank
Fisher got 30 days on suspicion of having
ben connected with a robbery in Lawrence
ville a lew days ago; Mike Kelly got 30 days
far habitnal drunkenness; fonr other cases
were disposed of by the payment of fines.
FOE THE BISHOP'S EECOTEEr.
Prayers of thcFnlihfol Requested for Kt.
Rev. James O'Connor.
In all the Catholic Churches throughout
the Pittsburg diocese yesterday, instructions
were read from Bishop Phelan, peti
tioning the prayers of the (faithful for the
spiritual welfare of , Kt. Bev. James
O'Conner, bishop of Omaha, who lies in a
critical condition at Mercy Hospital.
At the hospital it was stated that there
was no hopes for the recovery of the bishop.
He is certain that he will never recover and
he came back to Pittsburg his old home
to die.

BAILEY SCOEED
BY THE OLD SOLDIERS.
At a Meeting of the 01. P. G. Resolutions
Are Passed Condemning tha Democratic
Nominee.
John H. Bailey was scored by the Execu
tive Committe of M. P. G. at their meeting
Saturday night. Can a man who declares the
war a failure, ridicules Father Abraham, and
denounces Union soldiers as hirelings re
ceive your votes under any circumstances?
The following arc the resolutions adopted:
At a special meeting of the Executive
Committee of the M. P. G., held at head
quarters, Satnrdav, February 15, 1890, it
was unanimously decided that it is the duty
of every member of the M. P. G. to not only
vote for Mr. Gonrley for Mayor of Pittsburg,
but to do all in his power to secure his
election. The anti-war speeches of Mr.
Bailey, his indorsement of the resolution
passed at the Democratic Convention, held
in Chicago, in 1861, "declaring the war a
failure, etc," and his denouncing soldiers
as hirelings, and his, attempted ridicule of.
"Father Abraham," are not forgotten. All
of this was done by him when you were at the
front, and is enough to prevent every Union
loving soldier and citizen from upholding
him now. By order of the
Executive Committee.

Staytou vs. Wyraan.
At a meeting held in Second ward, Alle
gheny, Feb. 15, the following was author
ized to be published:
The Mayoralty in Allegheny is one or the
most momentous importance to its citizens
and all lovers of pure government. The
awful danger with which the city is threat
ened in the possible election of James G.
Wyman shonid be a sufficient warning to
every voter to use all lawful means to avert
such a calamity as the election to the im
portant office of Mayor, of a man bearing
his reputation. It is well known that the
moral atmosphere of the city during his
previous administration was the most dis
reputable and impure that Allegheny ever
endured, and if such a misfortune shonid
fall upon the city as his election on next
Tuesday a repetition of the same serious
condition, with the springing up of
vile dens and speak-easies and their usual
accompanying debasing influences may be
expected. " Let every voter be awakened to
asenseof the gravity of-the situation, and
be advised to go to the polls on Tuesday and
aid in rolling up such an overwhelming ma
jority against said Wyman (whose support
emanates largely from'the most lawless ele
ments of onr city) as the one which, by the
union of the better elements of all parties in
the last county election, defeated an objec
tionable candidate. So let the same element
now unite in saving our city by voting for
I. R. Stayton, a man well qualified for the
office ot Mayor and with a clean reputation.

0THEE THOUGHTS OP LOCAL PASTOKS'
The Fourth Avenue Baptist Church pul
pit was filled yesterday morning bv Bev.
Dr. M. B. Biddle. In the course of a strong
sermon, whose aim was mainly to emphasize
the beauty of holiness, the reverend doctor
took occasion to say that there was no art,
however attractive, that was to be compared
for a moment, in the beauty of its results, with
the art of doing well, or doing good, from
right motives.
"We may illustrate something of the dif
ference in material arts, now that we are
dealing with that subject," said he, in sub
stance, "by directing particular attention to
some of our own most familiar and conspicu
ous local landmarks. The opening of that
splendid structure in Allegheny, the Carne
gie Free Library, has invited us to admire
art in widely different, but very attractive,
forms in architecture and painting. The
good that each of these arts may do in its
own way is quite incalculable. And who
can estimate where will end the high influ
ence upon all our community, architectur
ally, ot that magnificent edifice, our county
Court Honse? There it will stand for years,
commanding the admiration of all a splen
did poem in granite testifying to every be
holder that its architect had well and nobly
mastered his art.
"Not so with onr new Government
building, however. It likewise has an
exterior of enduring granite. But the
eccentricities and incongruities of its
design, not less than the monumen
tal delay in its construction, will stand
for years, an eyesore, to remind each
onlooker that our Government committed
the design, if not the execution thereof, to
an architect who knew chiefly and thor
oughly the art of marring beauty, and
whose similar works, all over this broad
land of ours, will long remain to testify of
his incompetence.
"You see the distinction? Of course you
do; for the difference between thereal and the
sham in architectural art is more plainly
marked than is a similar difference between
genuine and counterfeit evidences of indi
vidual moralitv."
INSTALLED AS DEACON.
Interesting- Ceremonies at the Second Con
srecntional Cbnrcb, Allegheny.
At the Second Congregational Church, on
North avenue, yesterday morning, August
Lefevre was installed as fourth deacon of
the church. Within two weeks there have
been seven persons admitted to member
ship, all being heads of families. Bev. J.
H. Barnett preached upon "Cedar Chris
tians." He referred to the cedar of Mt.
Lebanon as a symbol of the highest type of
Christian, citing its elevated site, its height
and breadth, its evergreen freshness, its
broad and generous shade, its sturdy
strength against the storm, its fragrance,
and, after its death, its usefulness in the
bnilding of temples.
Last evening services were held by Dea
con Bailey, of Wilkinsbnrg. Bev. Mr.
Barnett is not at all well, suffering from
what seems to be a comparatively mild at
tack of the grip.
THE COMMON SCHOOL SYSTEM.
An Earnest Adrocacrof the Bible ns a Text
Book. Bev. D. McAllister, of the Eighth Street
Beformed Presbyterian Church, discoursed
yesterday afternoon upon the "Principles
of Onr Common School System." From
the Seventy-eighth Psalm, fifth verse, it
was gleaned that it was the duty of each
generation to instruct each sneceeding gen
eration and that the same obligation rested
alike upon the Church and parents. The
open Bible, said the speaker, should be the
great text-book of our public schools. There
are to-day in this country 11,952,204
scholars, 347,222 teachers and an annual ex
pense of maintaining the schools ot $101,
844.818. Bev. Mr. McAllister will supplement
this discourse by the citation of further
facts bearing upon the subject next Sunday
afternoon.
THE MISTAKES OP SATAN.
An Antidote Prescribed Against the Evil
Distilled Poison.
Last evening Bev. C. E. Locke preached
a sermon upon "The Mistakes of the Devil."
The central thought of the discourse was
that an antidote existed against the poison
instilled by the devil whether in
his personal capacity or otherwise.
That was Christ, taken into the
man's being. He .gave one interesting in
stance in point, that of a young man who
went to Zanesville, O., some years ago, rep
resented himself as a preacher, filled the
pulpit and filled the bill with
ability. He was addicted to
bad habits and afterward acknowledged
that he had taken tbepnlpit and ingratiated
himself into the good graces of the clergy
and laity merely as a joke. He afterward
joined the church and was known in it as
Bishop Hamilton.
This was a peculiar incident where the
devil made a mistake and a law student be
came a bishop.
THREE KINDS OF PEOPLE.
Consolation for All and Hope for Those
Who Are In Donbt.
Bev. John H. Prugh, of the Grace Be
formed Chnrch, selected his text last even
ing from Luke, 13th chapter, 23d verse:
"Are There Few That be Saved?" The
sermon was divided into three parts or
heads: "Good people, one in a honsehold,
or ten in a city; the utterly bad and those
who are in donbt."
The sermon was fnll of consolation to all
of the three classes mentioned, and the clos
ing remarks, devoted to those in doubt, were
especially happy in expression. He said:
"Let ns look with hope to the future and
believe that through the mercy and love of
God the many and not the fewwill be saved.
It is not wrong to think noble things of
God."
A Political Sermon.
Bev. J. D. Sands last evening gave an
address on "City Government," in which he
eulogized the Pittsburg methods of dealing
with the erring, and spoke of the decrease
of criminal offenses as well as of the manner
in which the repression of crime was
effected.
Bishop Whttehend at Braddock.
Bt. Bev. Conrtlandt Whitehead, Bishop
