'TIS FIFTEH MILLS,
The Tax Bate for the Coming
Tear Increased.
THE CITY DIPBOYEMENTS
And Betterments the Cause of the
Advanced Millage.
COMMON COUNCIL WILL ACT TO-DAY
The Finance Committee lias finished its
labors, and, unlike the mountain in labor,
produced something bigger than some people
expected in the shape of on advance of 3
mills in the taxation on last year, which was
12 mills. The total amount appropriated
was Si,W5,475, as against $3,514,762 50 for
1889. This is accounted for in the reports
and estimates of the various departments for
the current year. For instance, the appro
priation for the Fire Bureau of $262,600, in
cludes $250,000 for the general expenses of
the bnreau, and $12,600 for the purchase of
lots and the building of two new engine
houses in the Thirty-first and Thirty-second
wards. The sum was introduced as a whole
at the meeting of the committee in Select
Council chamber yesterday, so that Chief
Brown might be able to supplement what
was needed for the construction out of his
general fund, as well as to protect the $12,
G00 from being carried into the sinking
fund.
Again, in the $200,000 appropriated for
public parks is included the $62,500 to be
paid as half the purchase money needed to
procure the extra ground required to com
plete the Schenley Park. Besides this there
is $20,000 included in the same appropria
tion lor the Highland Park improvements;
THEY IPXEE CONSERVATIVE.
Another thing that will be noticed is the
extreme conservativeness observed in
estimating the receipts of the year, placing,
for example, the income for licenses at
$03,000, much less than is expected to be re
ceived. The appropriation ordinance was intro
duced at the meeting by A. F. Keating,
Chairman of the sub-committee, in a report,
in which he said:
The millage has been fixed at IS mills for city
tax, and the causes which bring about this
larce mcreas are as follows:
The last appropriation ordinance was com
puted on across estimated valuation of S20J,
000,000, less the usual 10 per cent for lost taxes,
exonerations and discounts allowed by law.
making It net JlS0,O0O,O00L There should have
been deducted for rural and agricultural pur
poses the sum of not less than 19,000,000. It
can be readily seen that the amonut leried and
the amount collected has caused a very large
deficiency for the year 1SS9, amounting to the
EumofS297.Z9S2.
We have used as a basis for taxation the sum
or 171,000,000, which is as nearly net as can be
computed. We have placed in this ordinance
the sum of 1200,000 for pnblic parks; of this
sum nearly one-half is for the purchase of real
estate. We have also added the additional
snm of 25,000 for the continuance of water
main from Hiphland avenue reservoir. Also,
the sum of 20,000 for garbage furnaces, one to
be located on the Soutiiside and the other in
the East End. The increase in the police force
by action of Councils increases that apDropna
tion bv the sum of 25.000, Also, have increased
the fund for street repairing to the amount of
23.000.
These items will nearly cover the increased
millage. and we feel confident that if the or
dnance is adopted by this committee and be
comes a law by tue action of Councils, the next
committee will not be compelled to provide for
any deficiency in the revenues of the city.

MB. BINDEB OBJECTED.
Mr. Binder objected to the increased ap
propriation -for the Fire Bnreau. M r. Keat
ing replied for the committee that $12,600 of
' the appropriation had been invested to be
used for purchasing lots and building fire
engine houses in the Thirty-first and Thirty
second wards. Mr. Binder then asked to
have the 512,000 set aside for that special
purpose.
Controller Morrow, who occupied the
position of secretary to the committee, re
plied that it the money were set aside for a
purpose and at the end of the year shonld
not have been used, it would be the duty of
the Controller to turn that money over into
the sinking fund, so there would be nothing
gained by Mr. Binder's plan.
Mr. Keating also explained that in its
deliberations the sub-committee had con-'
sidered that $12,600 would not be sufficient
to buy lots, build engine houses and equip
them. By placing the sum for that pur
pose in Chief Brown's appropriation he
could use it and as much more as he felt
his department could stand or that pur
pose. Mr. Binder said that he would be
satisfied with the ordinance under those
conditions.
This ended the discussion of the ordi
nance.and it was afErmativelyrecommended
to Councils by a unanimous vote. The
Finance Committee also considered a num
ber of claims for refunding of property,
business and water taxes which were re
ferred to the proper officials for report
There will be a special meeting of Com
mon Council at 3 p. M. to-day to consider
the ordinance as recommended.
OPINIONS ON THE ORDINANCE.
Controller Morrow said: "lam satisfied un
der the circumstances. It was not what it
might have been, but could with safety have
even gone a little higher in the millage. in view
of the increased expenditures made necessary
by the deficiency, the public works projects
ana the enlargement of educational facilities.
The public was long ago acquainted that an in
crease lnthe millage would be necessary and it
ought to occasion no great surprise."
W. A. Macee, Chairman of the Finance Com
mittee of Councils I think the ordinance is
the most conservative one of that nature which
has been presented for nine years, and I do not
see how the increase could nave been avoided.
Taking into consideration the mistake in the
assessment estimates last year, for which the
assessors are by no means to blame, as they
were considerably helped by the courts after
ward: the falling off in the number of liquor
licenses, the increase in educational work, the
200,000 for park purposes and otheritems, I am
sure the committee has done well not to make
the increase larger.
"Iast year I knew it was triennial year in
which all calculations are based on estimates,
and I wanted the millage placed at 13, whicb,if
it bad been done, would have let us off for 14
mills this year, but was overruled. The present
ordinance is based not upon suppositions, but
on actual facts and figures, and I expect we
will reach a 13 mill levy next year. The city
can afford to pay the 15 this year on account of
the unprecedented prosperity, and I think we
shall have no cause to regret the action by
next February."
Chief E. M. Bigelow In considering the
advance of the levy if should be understood
that the public improvements for this year are
greater than in any previous one. and if we cet
good things wo must expect to pay for them.
The results of the year's work will show value
received for the public taxation, or I am very
much mistaken, when the growth of the city
and its requirements are taken into consider
ation. Chief Brown, of the Department of Public
Safety: "Beyond the fact that my department
has to supply 23 additional policemen and two
engine houses for the protection of the people,
which I hope will be good value for the money
allowed, I thins: a reasonable view of the in
creased taxation will Indorse it. The city is
Erosperons. has been well protected and work
as been plenty, so that there is but little room
for grumbling at the prospect of paying for
much-needed improvements."
LAW AS WELL AS WOOL.
The Tariff Levied on the Latter is Causing
Some Irritation Difference Between
, Allegheny and Wnshtncton County
Court New Subject for Taxation.
There is not that comity between Alle
gheny and Washington county lawyers that
is, usually supposed to belong to the cloth
to be inherent in the profession and some
of the members of the Allegheny county bar
are getting hot under the collar. A Wash
ington county man is not only allowed
to get into Pittsburg station houses, but
may be taken there in the "hurry-up"
wagon without the exertion of any more
energy than the resident soak or tough, and
a Washington county lawyer who has been
admitted to the bar of this county can do
business in our courts withont let or hin
drance. But there is no reciprocity. When
an Allegheny county lawyer who has been
admitted to the Washington county bar
wants to enter an appearance on the docket
in Washington county, he must either ac
quire a residence in that county or secure
the services of a resident lawyer.
Another -soarcecf'complaint is that when
a judgment note is satisfied in Washington
county the 5 per cent provision for attor
ney's fee is collected by the Prothonotary
whether the holder has found it necessary to
employ an attorney or not. If snch note be
put on record one day and satisfied the same
day without protest or hiring ot an attorney
the 5 per cent is collected, and, on $10,000,
for instance, the levy becomes a matter of
5500. As these regulations are orders of
court there is no dodging them.
Theoretically, it is probable that a consid
erable majority ot the members of the bar
of Allegheny" county are advocates of pro
tection to home industry, bnt they make
wry faces over the chalice presented to their
lips by the Washington court. They
are willing to allow the home
of statesmen a tariff on wool,
but object to its being levied on law. It is
said the wool industry has declined about
33 per cent in that county, so that it may be
a necessity to substitute law as a subject for
taxation. Being regarded as a luxury by
many people, they may be inclined to piace
it alongside whisky and tobacco, regardless
ot the "favored nation" doctrine.
HE ETADED AMi QUESTIONS.
William Semple, Jr., Refused to Giro Up
Any Railroad Information.
Mr. William Semple, Jr., returned from
New York yesterday. When asked about
the Baltimore and Ohio and Pittsburg and
Western Railroads deal said to be on the
carpet, Mr. Semple denied all knowledge of
the proposed absorption of the Western
road by the Baltimore and Ohio, but when
questioned direct evaded direct reply very
cunningly:
"Do you know of a deal of any kind, Mr.
Semple?"
"Inow, how should IT Ton should eo to Mr.
Oliver. He may know something of it."
"Do you know of-any conference held at the
Duquesne Club's rooms?"
"1 went to Now York on Saturday evening."
"But tho meeting took place on Saturday aft
ernoon, Mr. Semple?"
"Is that so? Now, my friend, Icannotsee how
any deal can be arranged In this city. This is
not the home of the Baltimore and Ohio andno
combine could bo arranged here."
"Then you do not know of any deal what
ever?" "Now, If you came here to talk about Pitts
burg, Akron acd Western matters, I might be
able to give you some information."
He ffai n Detective.
A man named O. F. Bats was arrested at
the West Penn depot, in Allegheny, last
night, on a charge of being drunk and dis
orderly. When locked up in the Central
station he became so noisy and violent that
he had to be handcuffed. He said be was
doing detective work for the company when
arrested. He says he lost $35,000 by being
held at the lockup.

DEMANDS HER MONEY
Mother Alphonse Again Says There
Cannot he Any Compromise.
THE ENTIRE PROPERTY MUST 60
Unless the Sixty Thousand Decreed Her be
Paid Forthwith..
SHE WILL HATE THE SCHOOL CLOSED
The Ursuline Convent trouble is again as
suming a decidedly Interesting shape. The
determined stand ou the part of ex-Mother
Superior Alphonse and by associates in
their effort to place the entire property on
the market for sale, is a surprise to every
body. It is a move that was entirely unex
pected. The attorneys engaged in the re
cent litigation were -proceeding in the
case with the idea that their arrangement
to raise $60,000 was satisfactory.
A Dispatch reporter called upon ex
Mother Superior Alphonse yesterday after
noon, at the convent, and for tbe first time,
as she claims, her side of the TJrsnline
trouble is given. She said that so many
false reports had been printed abont the
matter that she would rather not say any
thing, and would have refused entirely to
talk for publication bnt for the fact that all
that has appeared lately has been favorable
to her opponents. The following is tbe
substance of what ex-Mother Alphonse said:
SHEAVIXiTi CLOSE THE SCHOOL.
"I want to emphasize my assertion that no
compromise whatever will be entertained. I
must insist upon the closing of the school and
the sale of this entire property unless they pay
me what I claim $0,000. It will be three years
next August since I made this claim upon
them, and I propose to wait no longer. The
decree granting myself and my associates (10,-
000 apiece came five months ago. and tber say
they are not able to raise the money. All of
the power for the sale ot the property belongs
to me. and I mean to exercise tba power with
out any further delay whatever. They talk
about selling nine acres of tbe ground. I will
sell the entire property, Inclnding the build
ings and even the furniture. Everything that
belongs to tbe institution must go unless they
pav our money Immediately.
"We have never been unreasonable in any
thing we asked. We demanded our money, to
be sure; but what better terms could they do
sire? Just think of itl The work of 20 years;
an institution like this, and such valuable prop
erty. But we wero willing to leave it all to
them if they had given what was allowed us.
Why, it was told to us by reliable authority
that the-Blshqp would not allow them to raise
the money. Now, the Bishop has no anthoritr
to do anything in this matter and never should
have figured in tbe trouble at all. He claims
to have asked to be relieved from taking any
part in tho affair, but he never should have as
sumed any authority."
BECEIVJED NO OFFER.
In reference to the statement that at one
time six Catholic laymen offered to give ex
Mother Alphonse G0.000 to stop the scandal,
the speaker said: "That is absolutely false.
No six gentlemen ever offered any sum to us.
During about the second month of oar trouble,
1 think in October, 1887. three gentlemen
James Phelan, John McCaffrey and William
Iioeffler called boro and asked us what in
demnity we would take rather than to sell the
property. My recollection Is that we told them
when they had a tangible offer to make to call
again. We never saw nor heard from them
again."
As to the mortgage and debt against tbe
property, the ex-Mother Superior bad this to
say: The only debt we are responsible for is a
mortgage for $75,000 on the property. If there
is a mortgage for J120.000. as stated, it. together
with all other debts that may exist, must havo
been contracted by tne parties who succeeded
ns since August 17, 1SS7.1'
"What have yon to say about tho proposition
to pay you $50,000 in five years without inter
est?" was asked.
"Nothing, except that we will not consent to
any such a proposition. We might all be dead
before that time, and what cood would we de
rive from our years of labor? In the first place,
no such proposition was ever made to us, and it
is surprising that the first time we should hear
of it would be through the newspapers.
DEKTES THE "BISHOP'S BIOHT. "
"If a responsible person.capable of governing
the institution properly, had been placed in
charge It would bavo been one of the most
flourishing of the kind in tbe country. But
Mother Gertrude was not the choice of the sis
ters for the place. We should have had a free
election. Bishop Phelan had no right to sug
gest anyone for the office and Mother Gertrude
had no right to accept. She broke the rules
and the constitution of onr society when she
accepted tbe position by appointment. If she
had not done this a great deal, if not all, ot this
tronble could have been avoided.
"Tho only thing that 1 am particular about
saying with any stress is that I am tbe only
person mentioned in the decree from Borne,
which gives me the right to sell the property
and which gives me explicit instructions not to
allow it to be sold for a cent less than what 1
believe to be its true value. Wo have made up
our minds that the position wo have taken is
right, and we have no intention of changing
our minds. The time for a compromise is past,
and we propose now to take nothing less than
the proceeds of the property less the mortgage,
unless what is due us is paid forthwith."
In this regard W. A. Herron, in whose
hands the convent property has been placed
for sale, says he thinks it onght to bring
$300,000, and he expects to sell it. The
whole property has been placed in his
hands. The title, he says, is vested in Mother
Alphonse, and he thinks she should be able
to give a clear title to the buyer, but there
are many other legal complications in
volved. C. P. McKenna, Esq., said last evening
that the title for tbe Ursuline property is
not vested in the Ex-Mother Superior, but in
the name of tbe corporation, which is a
chartered institution under' the laws of
Pennsylvania.
WERE THEY WHITE CAPS?
Johnston Cnlhonn Given a Ride on a Ball by
lUntked Men.
Humane Agent O'Brien a few days ago
was notified by a clergyman that a 70-year-old
man named Johnston Calhoun, of
Hookstown, on the Pittsburg and Cleveland
Bailroad, had been subjected to brutal treat
ment at the hands of a crowd of masked
men.
Mr. Calhoun, so the communication states,
does not live happllywith his 29-year-old
wile and untruthful stories of their conduct
was the canse of a crowd of men calling at
his house a few nights ago and giving him a
ride around the square in which he lived.
The regulators drove off and intimidated all
law-abiding persons by keeping up a con
tinual firing with their revolvers. The
clergyman stated that there is a class of law
less persons In the town who do pretty much
as they please.

in Germany yesterday, telling her that a
relative bad died and left her 2,000 marks.
She started out to find -a- sister to tell her of

in the wrong house. She was arrested.
THE P1TTSBTJKG DISPATCH, THURSDAY, EEBRTTAKY
THE ASSOCIATION FAILS.
Last Effort of tbe Manufacturers of Wire
Bods to Organize n Combine A Bis
Meeting End In Nothing Structural
Iron for the World's Fair.
A meeting of wire rod manufacturers of
the United States was held yesterday at the
Hotel Duquesne, the purpose of the meet
ing being to attempt to lorm an association
of all the manufacturers of steel wire and
rods. Several previous meetings, with
the same end in view, have
been held, the last one in
this city about two weeks ago. All have
proven to be failures for a peculiar reason.
Some of the mills refused to send representa
tives to the meetings or to enter into any ne
gotiations looking to the formation of a pro
tective union. Not only that, but one man
ufacturer, who was favorably circumstanced,
had intimations conveyed to the firms will
ing to go in that he would fight any combi
nation from the word "Go."
The meeting vesterday was a large and
representative one. The interested parties
were sanguine that they would be able to
organize. The promise of 11 firms out of
the 18 firms making wire rods had been re
ceived to attend, and it was hoped that the
others would forward letters, cr possibly
send representatives. The sanguine gentle
men were doomed to disappointment. Pre
liminary talks by the chief men in several
of the big companies had been held on Tues
day and the outlook was good. The meet
ing yesterday was attended by the following
gentlemen:
George T.Oliver.of the Oliver Roberts Wire
Company, Pittsburg; O. G. tVashburn, of the
Washburn A Moen Manufacturing Company,
Worcester. Mass.; Li If. Smith, Superintendent
of tbe Gautier department and commercial
agent of the Cambria Iron Company; Cyrus
Elder, solicitor and general agent of the Cam
bria Iron Company; W. R. Stirling, of the B1I
nois Steel Company. Chicago; Mr. Beach, of
the H. P. Nail Company, Cleveland; George 8.
Douglas, of the Iowa Barb Wire Company, Al
Ientown, Pa.; F. C. Gedge, of the American
Wire Nail Company, Covington, Ky., and An
derson, Ind.; Mr. Arkless, of tbe American
Wire Company, ot Cleveland; Mr. Bobeling, of
Bobeling & Son, Trenton: and William L. Ab
bott, chairman of Carnegie, Phlpps & Co.,
Pittsburg.
In addition to the gentlemen who took an
actual part in the conference, there were
present in the city quite a number of other
gentlemen connected with the firms men
tioned, who were advising and watching
from the outside. Among these were O.
W. Potter, President, and J. C. Hutchins,
Secretary of the Illinois Steel Company;
C. P. Garvey, of the American Wire Nail
Company, Anderson, Ind., and H. W. Alli
son, of the Iowa Barb Wire Company,
Allentown, Pa. It seems likely that the
fruitless result of the conference was largely
due to the fact that A. H. Hebard, of the
St. Louis Barb Wire Company, was at the
Hotel Duquesne, and refused to go into the
conference. The Braddock Wire Company
had promised to send a representative but
did not do so.
The sessions of the conference lasted both
forenoon and afternoon, ending at about 3
o'clock. Mr. Beach was elected to preside
and Mr. Douglas was chosen secretary.
Tbe whole ground of an association was
talked over aud the attitude of the firmsnot
represented was freely discussed. For sev
eral reasons, it was decided not to organize
an association. Prices and trade were
talked of in a general way. The meeting
was altogether good natured, but it was de
termined to make no further effort to or
ganize. Mr. Roberts said that no further
meetings would be held, and that nothing
whatever had been accomplished. The
members separated, saying softly to them
selves, "Et tu, Brute." A number of the
visitors from out of the city spent tbe re
mainder of the aiternoon driving about the
city, looking at the big mills and other ob
jects of interest.
There was, in addition to the above meet
ing, an important conference yesterday at
the Duquesne Club, between Messrs. Potter
and Hutchins, of the Illinois Steel Com
pany, and the representatives of Carnegie,
Phipps & Co. nnd the Cambria Iron Com
pany. The buildings for the World's .Pair
in Chicago will.demandanimmenseamount
ot structural iron, which the Chicago com
mittee desires to place with Illinois firms.
Mr. Potter says that his mills are not pre
pared to make the immense beams and
other iron which will be needed, because
tbey have not the rolls. It would not pay
them to put in new trains of rolls for that
work alone. He desired to learn fully
how Pennsylvania establishments were,
prepared to turn out such work. He has
been assured that the Homestead mills of
Carnegie, Phipps & Co. and the Johnstown
mills of tbe Cambria Iron Works would be
able to handle any orders received for the
great iron and glass structures to be erected
in Chicago. The work will begin probably
within six weeks, and will be "rush" orders.

KICKED Off THE HEAD.
John Agnew, the Prominent Glass
Manufacturer, Badly Beaten.
AHD IS KOW COBEIUED TO HIS BED.
His
Assailants Had Him Arrested for
Felonious Shooting.
COEXTEE CHABGE8WILL BE BROUGHT
John Agnew, an old gentleman of 72
years, senior member of the firm of Agnew
& Co., or First avenue, glass bottle manu
facturers, whose factory is located at Oak
mont, about a quarter of a mile above Hnl
ton station, on the Allegheny Valley Bail
way, was the victim Monday afternoon of a
serious assault, from the effects of which he
is confined to his bed and has the almost
constant attendance of a physician. Strange
as it may appear, Mr. Agnew is under ar
rest for feloniously shooting at the man who
assaulted him.
Mr. Agnew is one of the pioneer bottle
manufacturers of this neighborhood, and is
an old and highly respected resident of
Allegheny county. The firm consists of
himself and his sons, Charles K. and D. C.
He is a large property owner at Hulton out
Bide of the site occupied by the glass house.
STONES HUBLED AtJAGNETV.
Among the men employed as blowers in
the glasshouse is Albert Fentzel. Monday
afternoon, according to the account given to
a reporter for THE Dispatch by a citizen
of Oakmont township, who has investigated
the affair, Pentzel and a fellow workman
Erovoked two boys, employed in the glass
ouse, to engaze in a fight. Mr. Agnew
came upon the scene and stopped the fight,
severely reprimanding the two glassblowers
who ha'd acted as seconds to the boys. The
two men quit work early. As tbey walked
away from the glasshouse, one of them
Sicked up a small stone and hurled it at
r. Agnew. It struck him, but inflicted
no serions injury. The men then walked
down the track toward Hulton station.
Mr. Agnew lives at Hulton, opposite the
depot, and shortly after his employes left
the works he also departed and walked
toward home. At the Hulton depot Fentzel
and his companion walked up to Mr. Ag
new. With a brief remark, Fentzel struck
the old man on the mouth. The blow was
so hard that Mr. Agnew was not only
knocked down, but two of his teeth were
broken off. Bye witnesses say that Mr.
Agnew was kicked several times after he
fell.
FIEED AT HIS ASSAILANT.
A number of men, who were near, ran to
interfere, when Fentzel turned and ran to a
stone wall below the depot. Just as he
sprang over this wall, Mr. Agnew succeeded
in drawing n revolver, which he fired at his
assailant. The bullet v ent over Fentzel's
head, as he disappeared below the wall.
Mr. Agnew was helped to his home, where
he lies very ill.
Mr. Fentzel and his companion evidently
feared that an information would be made
against them lor aggravated assault and
battery. Such a charge was not made that
day, however. The glassblowers came to
town on the first train. Going to the office
of Alderman McMasters, Fentzel swore to a
complaint, charging Mr. John Agnew with
feloniously shooting at him. A warrant
was issued. It was given to a constable,
who served it upon Mr. Agnew in his bed
room. The defendant entered into recogni
zance to appear before Alderman McMasters
at the time which will be set for a hearing.
A counter charge, against Fentzel, will
probably be made in a few days, if Mr.
Agnew recovers sufficiently to go to the
office of a magistrate.
A GIPSI CAMP STORY.
How Prince Al nnd Louisa De Elsie Diet.
Iioved nnd Wedded.
A party of eight gypsies have been in
camp on Sawmill run road, just outside of
the Thirty-sixth ward, for the last two days.
They have with them three wagons, one of
which is exceptionally handsome, being
used for the exclusive use of Louisa De
Elsie, the wife of the leader of the party,
and the only woman with them.
A call was made at the camping ground
yesterday afternoon, and Alfred Armstrong,
the leader, gave an account of the party.
He is a very tall and handsome English
man, abont 35 years of age. He said that
all of the members ot the party are of En
glish birth, except his wife.
In 1880 the camp was organized in South
ern England, and a trip was made to
France, where Armstrong met Louisa De
Elsie, a beautiful girl of respectable parent
age. She visited the camp in 1881, and be
came so enamored of Armstrong that in
spite of her parents' protests thev were mar
ried. Both of the girl's parents died within a
year after the marriage, but in the mean
time forgave her and left her over $7,000.
With this the party took a ship for Canada,
but found it too cold, and are now moving
southward. Armstrong is known as "Prince
Al." The party is bound for Kentucky,
where a gypsy convention is to be held in
May.
H0KSB AND BUFFALO.
Strnnso Cross Between Two Genera Taken
Eat for Exhibition.
A company of cowboys from Wyoming,
bound for New York, came in on the Balti
more and Ohio road from Cincinnati yester
day morning. There are 35 men and two la
dies in the party. Thev have with them a cu
rious ireak of nature in the shape of an ani
mal half buffalo and half horse. There is a
well-developed lump on its back, upon the
forward part of the body, corresponding ex
actly to that of a buffalo. Tbe head is that
of an ordinary horse, but the beast has a pe
culiar habit of lowering its head when de
fending itself, after the tashion of a buffalo.
The animal was born in Wyoming Terri
tory, at the foot hills of Snow Mountains,
When captured it had peculiar hoofs, which
were long and have to be continually
clipped. It is somewhat stunted in appear
ance. The owners, "Broncho Jack" and
"California Hank," say that it is likely a
cross between a horse and a buffalo. Sim
ilar cases, they say, have been known be
fore, but they djd not survive long after
birth. The party left on the 9 o'clock train
last night for New York.
THE STRIKE SOX SETTLED.
Tho Situation nt Fnnzautawney Still Con
tinue "Cnchnnsed.
It is officially denied that the strike of the
coal miners at Funxsutawney is settled.
The recent visit of the officers of the Miners'
Union was not productive in the way of an
agreement. How'long the trouble will con
tinue, or what the outcome is likely to be, is
hard to conjecture, as the men are deter
mined to hold out to tbe end, all reports to
the contrary notwithstanding.
Strikers Mnst Eoep the Fence.
Jerry Sullivan, Thomas McCann, Patrick
McKicbol, Mike O'Hara, Samuel Bochford
and Mike O'Day, the striking employes of
Shoenberger's mill, were given a hearing
yesterday before Alderman, McKenna, and
were released on their own recognizance to
keep the peace.
Annlo Flih Wanted nt Franklin.
F. Ktteler, of Franklin, Pa., yesterday
wired Superintendent Cowan, of the West
Penn Hospital, that" Annie Blair, or Annie
Fish, was wanted for larceny. The girl is
anxious to leave the hospital, and will be
released to-day, unless an order to hold her
is received from some person in authority.

WILL ERECT A CBDECH.
Tho Italian Congregation Has Purchased
Property for the Purpose on Webster Av
enue A School Will Also be Included to
Perpetuate tbe Langnase.
Papers were filed in the Court House yes
terday recording the sale of two lots sit
uated at the corner of Webster avenue and
Tunnel street, belonging to Charles Malone,
to a committee composed of tbe following
gentlemen: P. Debe, Chairman; A. S. De
martina, P. Bucigalupo, F. Bonestalli, G.
Mariani and C. Muzio, representing the
Italian Catholic congregation, at present
holding religious services in the basement
of St. Paul's Cathedral. Twelve thousand
dollars was the price paid for the property,
ou which the congregation intend to erect a
church, to cost in the neighborhood of $10,.
000 or 112,000. When it will be started
has not yet been determined, as the plans
are not yet completed.
P. Debe, of John Debe & Co,, the Chair
man of tbe committee, was seen yesterday
and he said that it was the intention of the
congregation to build as fine a church of
the size as there is in town to-day. "The
Italians of the city need a church," said
Mr. Debe, "as there is fully 8,000 or 10,000
ot them residing in this city now, and not
one single church which they can call their
own. We intend to fit it np in excellent
style and devote the basement to a school in
which it is proposed to educate the children
of the parishioners in both Italian and En
glish. "It is of very little use to send our chil
dren to the English schools, as their ignor
ance of that language makes itvery difficult
for them to learn, beside we want to preserve,
if possible, the language of our own people.
Our congregation at present numbers be
tween 300 and 400 individuals, which is con
tinually increasing, and we expect by the
time we begin to erect the church to number
at least 00. What we will call it, or
whether the present pastor. Father Giucomo
Annovazzl will be retained or not, I cannot
say."
DB. HUTCHINSON TALKS.
He I Not Tet Certain About Mlnnlck's In
sanity Mrs. Mlnnlck nnd Her Daughter
Visited Dlxmont on Tuesday Ho Has
Hlrnnse Symptoms.
A Dispatch reporter visited Dr. Hutch
inson, at Dixmont Hospital, last night, in
reference to the case of W. J. Minnick, of
Braddock, committed to that institution on
Monday last, and whose insanity is brought
into question. Said the doctor:
Of course it is too soon for me to give any
positive opinion in reference to Mlnnlck's case,
but there are several points that, in my belief,
argue in favor of mental derangement. First
of these Is the fact that the commitment Is
signed by Drs. Sandles ana McCord, whom I
know to be two of the most learned physicians
in the county.and in whose judgment I place the
greatest confidence. In the second place, the
man displays one of the signs to be first
noticed in Insane patients, and that
is the most supreme dislike for
his family. JVo matter how much a man
may love his wife previously, one of tbe first
signs of insanity is to get such ideas into bis
head. Still another sign is the suspicious na
ture of the man. He seems to suspect any.
body and everybody of intrigue of some kind.
Certainly none ot the above facts are absolute
signs of mental derangement, in fact I bad a
long talk with bim to-day. He appeared to be
perfectly rational and talked just as sensibly as
any sane man can. but that is common In many
cases: There are any number of maniacs, who
having great will power do not show certain
signs until considerable time has elapsed, but
it is bound to developsooner or later. If the
man in question be found sane, I wilt as soon
as possible secure his release from this place.
By the way, Mr. Mlnnick's wife and daughter
were hero yesterday, and they betrayed the
utmost solicitude for his welfare. They both
appear to be excellent people, and I must say
that I do not really believe they have entered
into any conspiracy against the man."
An attempt was made to see Dr. McCord, but
repeated calls at bis house failed to find him.
THE LIBRARY COMMISSION
Will bo Cnlled Together Next Week to
Meet Andrew Carneslr.
E.B. Carnahan said yesterday regarding
the wild-eyed rumors which were spread re
garding the placing of tbe library at the
Point: "No such intimation has ever been
made. The commission has not met as yet,
nor will it until next week, when it will
probably be called together on tbe arrival of
Andrew Carnegie. A consultation will be
held then, and it would at least be courtesy
to consult his wishes on the subject. As
for the story that a site had been determined
upon, there is about as much fonndation for
it as for that which was published making
Mr. Carnegie a book agent, desirous of sell
ing Mrs. Schenley a volume. The origin of
the latter is that Mr. Carnegie telegraphed
me for Mrs. Schenley's address to send, not
sell, the lady a book in which her gen
erosity to Pittsburg is recommended as a
good example to be followed. The Library
Commission, of which I am a member, will
probably meet within ten aays or so."
