w z- SAFELY HSCOICED, President Harrison, Mr. An drew Carnegie's Guest, GREETED WITH CHEEES. Elaborate Arrangements Made for the Events of To-Day. THE EXECUTIVE VIEWS BESSEMER The President of the United States is within the city walls, the guest of Mr. An drew Carnegie, whose cornucopia of plenty, -has poured into the lap of Allegheny, a $300,000 tree library as remarkable in its way as the man who gave it or the circum stances connected with its formal dedication to the public by the Chief Magistrate of the nation. .Not within the record of history has a private gift to any city enlisted the services of the Executive as its sponsor, and Mr. Carnegie feels justly proud of the unusual significance attaching to the consummation of his philanthropic plan. Official matters bad necessitated the postponement of the trip from Washington from the date origin ally contemplated one week ago to-day and the fulfilment of the President's prom ice to be present created feelings of the liveliest satisfaction to all concerned, bnt especially to Mr. Carnegie, Mr. Scott, and the members of the Free Library Commis sion. The train bearing the President, his party and the various welcoming committees rolled into the spacious depot of the Balti more and Ohio Railroad at a few minutes after 11 o'clock. The engine ceased its puff ing and the wheels ceased to revolve. Es corted by Mr. James B. Scott, the President alighted from the forward end and was descried by a crowd hich had waited pa tiently for several hours. Cheers were vig orously given, which General Harrison courteously acknowledged by raising his silk hat again and again. The welcome was hearty and spontaneous, and the drench ing rain did not debar a mass of hnmanity from lining the approaches to the carriages in waiting. MET TCEM AT. BESSEMEB. The arrival of the Presidental train at Bessemer at 9.30 o'clock had been awaited by a delegation of Pittsburgers for over an hour. The party which left Pittsburg at 7:10 o'clock was composed of the Carnegie Free library Commission and a delegation of gentlemen representing the immense Carnegie interests heated by Mr. H. C Fnck. The representatives of the Carnegie interests who were of the party were the following gen tlemen: Mr. H. G Frlck, Mr. W. L. Abbott, Mr. H. M. Curry. Mr. O.is Childs, Mr. John G. A. Leishman and Mr. A. B Peacock. The enure Carnegie Free library Commis sion was present. The members -were as fol lows: Mr. James B. Scott, Chairman pro tern.; Mr. Jolin Walker. Mr. Adam Amnion. Mr. Arthur Kennedy, Mr. Thomas A. Parke, Mr. G. W. Snaman and Mr. Charles Davis, consulting engineer. A representative ol The Dispatch was also of the Pittsburg party. At Bessemer, the party was joined by Mr. C. M. Schwab, General Superintendent, who acted as escort to the combined party when the tour of tbe works became in order. The inter val between the arrival of the Pittsburgers at Bessemer and the appearance of the Presi dental train was put in inspecting the huge furnaces, "G" just having been blown in. Under tbe guidance of tbe gentlemen repre senting Mr. Carnegie, those present were placed in possession of the most exnaustiYe information. An adjournment was taken to the signal tower, where tbe time was occupied in learning the progress made by the special train from Conneilsville, where the first stop was made since Cumberland, to Bessemer. Superintendent Tatton telegraphed that the entire road was being held open and tbat the train would reach Bessemer at 930. Mr. Scott telegraphed at intervals to Mr. John H. Ricket son. at tbe Duquesne Clnb, in order to enable tbe Duquesne Club committee to be accurately posted as to the time of arrival in Pittsburg. INTO THE rUENACE. Promptly on schedule time tbe train drew up at the signal tower and the President, Mr. Carnegie, Congressmen Bayne and Dalzell, Prof. Langley and Mr. Enoch Pratt, of Balti more clambered down tbe steps. Mr. H. C Fnck assumed charge of the Presldent,-and with Superintendent Schwab piloted the way pasta long line of men with lanterns into Furnace "F," tbe remainder of the party fall ing into line indiscriminately. Mr. Carnegie, active as a boy, was here, tbere and every where, shaking hands and making inquiries about various matters, tbe soul of geniality. The furnace had been due at 8 o'clock, but was stopped up and held until the arrival of tbe distinguished visitors. The burly work men gave a few sharp blows upon the vent hole and with a shower of sparks the molten metal crept like a thread of gold through the moist sand. Elaborate explanations were made in detail by Messrs. Fnck and Schwab. The party tben threaded its way through the boiler rooms and through the yards to the enormous converters.. The eyes of the Presi dent dilated, as the showers of sparks radiating the glories of an aurora borealis shot across tbe ingot pit. The ingots were followed in detail with tbe greatest interest by the President and those present, through the varions stages leading up to the famous finished steel rails. It is safe to say that the stupendous object lesson upon protection was fully appre ciated by all who witnessed it. The return to the cars was made through double lines of workmen armed with lanterns, the excursion having been made in the shape of a circle. The commission and Mr. Car negie's lieutenants joined tbe President in tbe special car, and after Mr. Scott had sent a message to tbe Dnquesne Clnb, the train started for Pittsburg. On tbe way in Mr. Car negie chatted earnestly with Messrs. Fnck and Curry, and tbe President conversed with Mr. bcott. He sbowed S'gns of weariness and re moved the soft traveling hat he bad worn while on tbe tramp. The train reached Pittsburg without further incident. CHEEES AT THE STATION; The President was met by Mr. B. F. Jones, Chairman of the Welcoming Committee of the Dnquesne Club, who introduced the commit tee, who were the following gentlemen: Mr. John H. Rieketson, Mr. John W. Cbalfant, Mr. A. E. W. Painter, Mr. Charles H.,Spang and General Fitzhugb. As the party traversed tbe platform toward the carriages. President Harri son bowed in response to tbe cheers which rang out, .igni conveyances awaiiea toe party. Owing to the heavy rain no attempt was made to do more than seek shelter, and tbe carriages were quickly filled. Tbcn the imposing cordon of police, which bad kept back the crowd while tbe party was passing, resolved itself into a platoon under Mr. Roger O'Mara's direction, and took tbe middle of tbe street, marching to tbe Dnquesne Club. Demonstrations and cheers greeted the party at every portion of tbe way, and an immense crowd shouted forth cheers when the President alighted and ascended the broad steps leading to tbe club. With every window alight and a double line of members of tbe clnb in f nil dress to receive Mr. Carnegie and his distinguished guests there could not have been a warmer, heartier wel come. The elevator conveyed tbe party up stairs and the Washington contingent retired immediately to the private dining room, where a choice collation awaited discussion. After this bad been done justice to the solace of mor phens for the fatigues of the day became im mediately in order. No visitors were received, and the President was as privately housed as if in the big white mansion at the end of Penn sylvania avenue. HIS PBrVACY COMPLETE. Tbe members of the Carnegie Commission had been extended tbe courtesies of tbe club, and a brief era of handshaking terminated the evening. By order of the club President, Mr. Sol bchoyer, Jr., the club rules relating to the admission of non-members were suspended from 6 o'clock last evening, tbe suspension to be in force until to-morrow at noon. By this means the privacy of tbe President will be complete. The arrangements for the reception of the party were most complete, and were carried out with a minute exactness reflecting great credit upon Mr. James B. Scott. Everything was in place, and not a hitch occurred. Mr. Scott's indefatigable exertions were very warmly com mended at the Dnquesne Club and by the public last night. Tbe menu of tbe clubhouse is under tbe per sonal supervision of Steward James Riley, so far as tbe President's table is concerned. Mr. Riley has had a wide experience in the conduct of important banquets. He superintended banouets to the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Albany, ex-President Cleveland and other not ables, and he makes no doubt of being able to tickle the Presidental palate. It is conceded by all who have bad a peep at the suite ot rooms used by the President that In extent and beauty their equal does not exist else where. VERT HANDSOME QUARTERS.

Latest Returns Give Larger Majorities for Gonrley and Wyman. REPUBLICAN gains is councils. A.Fnll List of School Directors, Aldermen and Constables. SETEKAL PLACES TO BE CONTESTED Although the election contests are decided tbe excitement has not subsided. The de feated factions are satisfied with the fight they made, and in both cities the Democrats look upon their struggle as a noble one. Of course tbe .friends of the winning candidates are jubilant. The vote was an unusually heavy one, and Gonrley's majority is placed in round numbers at 3,500. This is an in crease of 3,300 over McCallin. The surprises were many, and of a char acter that furnish food for reflection Dy both parties. It is admitted by all that the Republi can organization was about as near perfect as it could well be. and tbe workers movea in harmony. Judge Bailey received manyRe pnblican votes, and if his party had been as thoroughly organized the result might have been somewhat different.

Notwithstanding the fact that two-thirds of the Democratic city ticket was 'elected on Tuesday, there are still members of the party found who are dissatisfied. T. O'Leary, Jr., one of the managers of the Democratic cam paign, eald yesterday that there were very co gent reasons for the defeat of his party. At first he said, with tbe alllteratlveness and pun gency which characterized Rev. Burchard In his famous three R's speech in favor of James G. Biaine, that the victory of Mr. Gonrley was due to ''Boodle, Booze and Bums" in the lower part of the city, and generally due to the per fect organization attained by tbe Republicans in this campaign. He had hardly finished his remarks when William Fllnn entered the Board of Viewers office and the two leaders congratulated one anotber in tbe most cordial manner. They mutually- discussed the situation, -and- Mr. O'Leary reiterated his compliments on' the management of the Republican campaign In a more personal manner than before. Mr. Fllnn. with his well-known modesty, disclaimed all credit, saying he was not to be blamed for tbe porty success, as he was only a simple worker. To this Mr. O'Leary responded that he would have liked a few simple workers of the same kind on tbe Democratic side of the issue. 0YEE ONE THOUSAND.

THE G. A. R. JIAN WON. An Indicntlon ns to How the Braddock Poitofflce Will Go. Among the many unusual phases yesterday's contests assumed, was one in Braddock, on which tbe disposition of the postoffice is sup posed to depond. Henry Fix. one of the aspirants,, backed Christopher Sheets lor Council, while George A Smith, a G. A, R- man, and also an aspirant for the postoffice. put Richard Jones forward for Council. Jones won and this is regarded as a victory for tbe G. A R. choice for postmas ter. A citizen of the borough says he expects the agony to end as soon as Congressman Dal. zell can be made acquainted with the situation, regarding the result of the election as a test of the sense of the voters on the matter. APTEE AJAX'S SCALP. Bob Smothers Wnltlne to Step Into Mr. Jones' Shoes. The William Fllnn Republican Clnb held a jubilee last night at the Eleventh ward school house. A resolution was passed asking, that Robert Smothers be appointed messenger to the Mayor to fill the place now (held by A jax Jones. Jones and Smothers are bitter enemies, having quarreled over the proceedings of the recent-colored men's convention in this city, and if the Fllnn club can get Smothers in when Jones goes out their joy will be un bounded. Tbe club will give a supper in the Fifth avenue market bouse Monday night. A Democratic Polish Clnb Formed.

The regular meeting of the Grover Cleve land Democratic Society of Allegheny County will be held March 3. W. J. Brennen, Esq., will address the meeting. The only Republican who carried the Fif teenth ward on Tuesday was Samnel F. Kerr, whose personal popularity outweighed even party prejudice, and be will administer the Aldermanic functions in consequence for some time to come. One of the most amnslng incidents connected with tbe First ward election on Tuesday, was the challenging of tbe vote of a prominent citi zen by John O'Brien, formerly a school di rector and painter of tbe First ward school house. After a very lively tilt the vote was ad mitted to the i Intense discomfiture of Mr. O'Brien, who was a judge of election. FOE CHILD MURDER. A Girl Nineteen Tears of Age Placed in the Jail for tbe Grime. SHE MAKES A FOLD CONFESSION. The Infant's Body Found Under a Fence Gate in. Allegheny. STRANGLED TO DEATH BT THE MOTHER Miss Agnes Taukert, a German girl .of Allegheny, 19 years old, is under commit ment in the county jail, charged with in fanticide. She has confessed the crime. ITesterday morning a police officer tele phoned to the Allegheny City Hall that some children had found a dead baby under a fence near the Eleventh ward icboolhouse. Detective Glenn was sent at once to the place, and by splendid detective work, suc ceeded, in very short time, in discovering the murderer of tbe infant. He found that a strip of flannel, about a yard long, bad been tied around the baby's neck and bad been twisted tight and tied. In front of the throat a safety pin had been thrust into the strip of flannel, the sharp end of the pin piercing the infant's throat nearly half an Inch. A great crowd of women surrounded the place, gazing with curious horror npon the body of the murdered infant. In this crowd Mr. Glenn began his quiet Inquiries, and tbe body was removed to Herman & Ebbert's under taking office GLENN'S QUICK WOEK. Mr. Glenn pursued his investigations through the families of the neighborhood, and within an hour the detective bad decided tbat Miss Taukert was the young woman whom he wanted. When he called at her father's house, on Schimmer street, between Shady avenue and tbe New Brighton road, abont noon, he was told that she had left home at 11 o'clock. The parents are poor Germans. Mr. Glenn learned tbat the young woman had been seen on tbe New Brighton road, near the place where the dead body was found, at abont 6 o'clock Tuesday evening. "She was carrying a basket in her arm. There la a spring in the hillside near where the infant Was discovered. The clear water, issuing from a pipe, falls into a large cask sunk in the ground. Detective Glenn believes tbat the girl intended to throw the body Into this cask. To reach it she must pass through a gate in a close board fence. This gate was locked, and tbe body was simply thrust through under the gate. Every woman In that neigh borhood, except one, hurried to the scene after the corpse was discovered. The exception was found to be Miss Taukert, and she had left home soon after the excitement in tbat com munity became general. Detective Glenn was convinced. FOUND AT HEB SISTEB'S. He learned that the young woman had a married sister living on the bill, near tbe top oft Thirty-third street, Pittsburg. He immediately went to that house, and there found Miss Takkert. She is a small, comely young woman, of robust bnt not heavy build. She stoutly de nied, at first, all knowledge of a crime, but she was taken to the Allegheny lockup. There De tective Glenn had a long talk "with her. He put before her the many links in tbecbainof circumstantial evidence which he had forced. She at last broke down, and amid tears and moans confessed her crime. She declared tbat she had been driven almost wild with ber trouble, and tbat when she killed tbe baby she did not know what she was doing. She gave to tbe detective the name of the vonng man who was the cause of her trouble. He lives in Alle gheny, not a quarter of a mile from the City Hall. The dead body was examined by two physi cians, who said tbat it had been cboked to death. It Is the body qf a pretty, well devel oped glrU The body was seen by the Coroner, wbo will hold an in quest to-day. The Coroner made out a commitment for tbe young woman, to await a hearing for murder, and tbe prisoner was conveyed to the Countyjail in a carriage, about 8 o'clock last night. She cried piteously during the journey. At tbe jail she was at tended by Dr. Chessrown, whose testimony be fore the Coroner will only corroborate the con fession made by tbe young woman. THE TEST SDEE ON PBIDA.T. Latest Modifications of the Long-Tlireat-ened Enelne Trial. The three judges of the fire engine test met yesterday afternoon in Allegheny. Owing to the rain and the arrival of President Harrison they decided to postpone the trial of the en gines nntll Friday. It will then positively take place. The principal change in the arrange ments is an effort to reduce the already strin gent conditions to a still further reduction of tbe trial to equal chances. As before published in The Dispatch, it is generally understood that three nozzles will be used, each for three hours, on tbe different sizes. ' Tbis has been so far modified as to make the different engine companies exchange noz zles at tne expiration oi an nour ana a nait on each side on tbe different sizes. This will be the last effort to get the respective merits of the two engines tried, and tbe Pittsburg engine, Cblef Brown says, will be on the gronnd rain or shine. Major w. G.McCandless was present at the meeting of the judges andjatified the proceedings. H'fiEESPOBT SHOPLIFTING. The Ambitions Borough Goes Into Business on a Wholesale Scale.

In the meantime a search warrant was gotten out for the bouse of a daughter of Mrs. Collins, wbo lives at Homestead and keeps a store. Accompanied by several merchants the place was visited and the honse carefully searched. Tbe officers found abont three wagon loads of goods in tbe store and a great many of tbe articles discovered were identified by tbe mer chants as their property. C0DLD NOT C0NFIUM IT.

A report comes from Buffalo tbat a syndicate of Pittsburg capitalists has purchased controll ing shares of tbe stock of all the street railway companies in Buffalo, and tbat the first cash payment of 300,000 has been made. It is alleged that Daniel O'Day, the well known official ot the Standard Oil Company. consummated the deal. There are diverse re ports as to the personnel of ,the syndicate, one story being tbat H. Sellers McKee was the head and iront of it, the other, that Pittsburg gentlemen interested in one of the traction companies of this city were the real pur chasers. An effort was made last evening to see Mr. McKee, but it was learned that he was out of the city. Union Veteran Lesion Encnmpment.

St. Michael's Catholic Seminary to be Re vived In n New Location Plan to -tnblUh the Institution on a Solid Founda tion No Site Selected Yrf. . On March 8 an application will be made for a charter for a corporation to be called the St. Michael's Boman Catholic Seminary. This is to be a revival of the Boman Catholic Seminary formerly maintained at Hazelwood. The incorporators will be Bishop Phelan, two clergymen and three lay men. When tbe diocese was divided about 12 years ago it was found that the Pittsburg diocese was not able, financially, to support the seminary. After a brief existence the eccle siastical school was closed, and the students found quarters at the College of the Holy Ghost and other institutions. The property at Hazelwood was retained. There is a small debt on it. About six months ago the bnild ines were destroyed by fire. Bishop Phelan said yesterday that tbe inten tion was to build a new seminary for tbo edu cation of young men for the priesthood In this diocese. The site at Hazelwood is not consid ered suitable, for several reasons, and that property will be sold. Other property will be secured, and a bnildinz will be erected to cost probably 40.000 or 501000. A location has not yet been decided on. Tbe Bishop believes that the seminary should be in tbe suburbs, within easy railway communication with the city, bnt in a neighborhood so far removed from the tnrmoils and distractions of tbe city that the young men will be undisturbed in their devo tion to their studies. Healthfnlness of site must also he taken into consideration. It is not intended to build at once. The in corporation is sought for the purpose of show ing to the people that tbe seminary is to be placed on a substantial, responsible and per manent footing when it is resumed. The time for tbat resumption will depend altogether npon the securing of funds. Tbe Bisbop is decided that no debts shall be saddled upon any of the institutions of the diocese during his administration. The seminary will begin its second life on a sound financial basis, and tbe best talent of tbe church will be enlisted in its instructions. The laity will be interested In the institution. Bisbop Phelan believes that tbe ultimate work of such a school is really of more vital interest to. tbe laity than to tbe clergy, and they will be given a prominent part in the work of its establishment and mainten ance. TBACTI0N ORDINANCE FASSED. Allegheny Connclli Finally Dispose of the Manchester Trouble. A special meeting of Allegheny Common Council was held last evening to consider the ordinance granting the1 Pittsburg, Allegheny and Manchester Traction Company the right to use electricity or cable as motive power on its railway.

Irwin, of the New Brighton Glass Company, whose men are on strike, called npon Secretary Dillon, of tbe American Flint Glass Workers' Union, yesterday, in ref erence to the strike at tbat place. Ihe trouble was caused, as the workers claim, by the discharge of one of the workmen with out justifiable cause. Mr. Irwin stated tbat If the Secretary wonld give It as bis opinion tbat tbe men were r'ght, he would agree to tbe terms of the workers. Secretary Dillon assured the gentleman that the men were decidedly justified in the.course they had taken, whereupon he promised Mr. Dillon tbat the trouble wonld be Immediately settled, and be would invite the men to return to work on their own conditions. This means a practical settlement of the strike. IN PAETIAL 0PEBATI0N. Some of the Old Hands Retarn to Work at riboenbero-er' Mill. There has been very little change fn the situ ation of tbe strike at Shoenberger's mill. A visit to their place yesterday showed that the plant is being partially operated. Many of the men who went out have refused to retnrn since President Weiho has declared the strike off. A number of unskilled hands are being tried. These, along with those wbo returned to work, enable the mill to be operated to a certain ex tent. Tbe full complement of men is at work, but whether they succeed in producing the nsual quantity of iron is not known. New de velopments may occnr in a few days. BETTER THAN GOLD.

GATE UP THE MET. Allegheny Gas Consumers Given a Choice of. Meter or Contract. TO GO IHT0 EFFECT APRIL FRIST. A Decrease in Consumers Brought Ont the Keiv Proposition. THE BATES ADTANCED OX COSTEACTS As a result of the vigorous opposition by the Allegheny people against using gas meters the Allegheny Heating Company has withdrawn their determination to com pel their use and are now giving their con sumers an opportunity to choose between the meters and the contract system. This is hailed with delight, and many people who had given tbe company notice that they would discontinue tbe nse of the feel will now mako new con tracts. Others who bad already changed to coal will resume the use of gas. New circulars were sent ont yesterday setting forth the advantages of the meter advising consumers that a waste of the fuel is checked; from 60 to 80 per cent of tbe beat produced is utilized by tbe meter instead of from only 10 to 25 per eent without it; tbat ny using tbe meter the consumer makes his own bill, which of course Is regnlated on the basis of carefulness and economy. HOW IT IS DONE. . These circulars are being sent out with the notices that the contracts now In force will be terminated within SO days. Applications for new contracts are filled out at an advanced rate of from $10 to 123 per year over the pre vious year, and this, together with an applica tion for meters are being seat to the consumers. Tbeyare asked to decide before March 15 which they will accept. The meter has a bad reputation in Allegheny. Many of the people wbo have tried it bave quit nsing gas altogether, claiming that it was a costly experiment. One man who had tried the meter said it was a practical impossibility for any man outsike of an official of the com pany to read the meters. He worked at bis for a day and a half, when he found, according to his calculation, he had used about 70.000,000 feet of gas. At that rate he figured that be would have to mortgage his property to pay his gas bill for one quarter. He bid farewell to the meter. another's espeeience. Another gentleman said he bad been Induced to try the meter. His bill for one quarter was $20. The next quarter the family was away for four weeks, but tbe bill was just tbe same. The company argues that It Is to the interest of the consumer to use the meter; that it will tend to conserve the supply of gas, and by rednring the waste it will reduce the cost of producing and maintaining the snpply, and will thus tend to keep down tbe price to the consumer. Just how the new scheme will work remains to be seen, but it is almost certain that the peo ple will submit even to the advanced rates in preference to tbe meters. Anotber objection to the meter is its first cost. The company charges $5 each for putting in tbe meters, and requires 5 additional as a deposit. Wben tbe consumer quits using the gas the deposit Is re turned to him, bnt tbe amount paid for putting in the meter is retained by the company. This is also claimed to be an nnjnst charge, as tbe work required to put in the average meter con sumes about half an hour's time. WALL PAPER OPENING. t SPRING 1890.'
