SECOND EEPOET OP THE CDIEF
Tbe second annual report of Chief J. O.
Brown, ot the Department of Public Safety,
to be transmitted to Councils to-day, con
tains much of importance and is of extra
ordinary interest to every citizen and tax
payer in Pittsburg. It includes the reports
Bade to him by the heads of the bureaus in
his department, as previously published,
and his comments on them. The appropria
tion or his department was 5654,500. None
of this money, he says, was expended with
out first an order having been issued by the
proper department, countersigned by the
Chief of the Department of Public Safety
personally. This involved labor and a per
sonal supervision on his part of many thou
sands of orders, as well as of a vast number
of pay rolls, but he deemed it a wise and
proper regulation.
In the Bureau of Electricity the Chief ex
pects creator facilities as improvements are
made. He proposes during the year to con
tinue the electrical improvements. Coun
cils having placed electric roads in care of
his department, be has assigned the duty to
the Bureau of Electricity, which will greatly
augment the responsibility of this bureau.
EXTESSIOK OP FIBE LIMITS.
In speaking of the work of the Building
Inspectors Chief Brown is very poinied in
his remarks about the fire limits. He de
sired to have them extended, but the Legis
lature refused to do so. A ooden buildings
are being erected indiscriminately, without
any control, and are great fire traps. He
objects, too, to the building permit fees,
which are a tax on men who arc building
and thus bettering the city, as well as
adding to the taxable property.
The" plumbing inspector's work is highly
praised, but the Cliiet says that to regulate
the plumbing and sewerage of a great city
is entirely beyond the power of one man.
As it is now, he can only issne permits and
inspect a partial number of the same; and
so doubt much imperfect work is done. The
Chief advocates the passage of an ordinance
that would empower his department to
make the proper sewerage and gas connec
tions with all property fronting on or sub
ject to drainage or gas connections with
sewers or gas mains at the time the same are
placed in the streets the property benefited
to be charged with the same. This would
result in a better system of drainage, sewer
age and plumbing, and lower the death rate
1 or 2 per cent.
rEXSIOUING OLD EMPLOYES.
The Disability Board is commented on, and
the assertion made that some such arrange
ment should be mad: to benefit the Police
Bureau as this board has for the Fire
Bureau. Provision should also be made for
the worn-out employes of the city who have
during a lifetime served the city. The
neglect of the city to provide some moder
ate financial provision for these worn-out
employes has resulted in finding a number
of them in various city departments draw
ing full pay, when they are physically un
able to perform any" duty commensurate
with the salaries; a very b.td system, as well
as an expensive one. to provide for worthy
worn-out servants of the city.
The Health Bureau is given considerable
space. Chief Brown says:
rllie fact that tho city has simply been fortu
nate in naving no general epidemic of con
tajrlous diseases does not preclude the possi
bility of such a thing occurring. We hae a
cosmopolitan population- the very ends of the
earth arc part and parcel of our people: we
have all nationalities and classes mixed
together. The foreign element Is settling and
centralizing in certain sections of the city,
bringing with them all their habl, customs
and unsanitary conditions.
A PXESSLVG XEED.
One of the needs of the city of Pittsburg to
promote and insure a low death rate in the
future, as well as prevent general epidemic
diseases, is the devisinc of some means for the
successful treatment and disposal of garbage.
The backyards and cellars of tenement houses,
and the alleys and byways of the city of Pitts
burg, are the public receptacles of all manner
of garbage, filth and decomposed rubbish. Tho
question has in the past been treated as a light
and unimportant one: but is, nevertheless, ono
of a very serious nature and character, and
should not. in view of serious consequences
which may at any time result from inattention
to it, pass unnoticed by your honorable bodies.
It is a question that affects all large cities, and
one which all the larce cities in this country,
as well as elsewhere, have had much trouble to
properly solve. To my ruind, from a careful
and somewhat extended observation during tho
two years that I have been at the head of this
department, tho only successfully way of
cleansing and keeping clean a city so large and
populous as Pittsburg is by contract .iith some
well-organized and trustworthy sanitary com
pany for the removal of garDage and decom
posed matter of every kind and character be
yond the precincts of the city, and by them
treated as their commercial "interest might
deem best.
EAST END MORTALITY.
Another matter that the Chief calls atten
tion to is the large death rate in the East
End wards. He attributes it to three causes:
Lack of proper sewerage; little or no proper
disposition of garbage; the opening of a
large number of old, and abandoned water
wells, thaAiad long been closed up, at the
time ot the Johnstown flood, notwithstand
ing the public notice of the Bureau of
Health that the river water was infinitely
better.
Speaking of the Fire Bureau, Mr. Brown
is pleased with the work during the year,
and calls attention to the fact that it re
quired but 74 cents per capita to run the
department. He further says:
During the year I re-organized the Firo
Bnreau somewhat upon the basis of the organ
ization of the Bureau of Police in tho year
1SSS. making the standard for appointment one
of physical qualifications, as well as character,
and to some degree one of general intelligence.
1 am a firm believer that all ap
pointments in the Department of Pub
lic Safety should be made solely upon the basis
of good moral character and general intelli
gence, vith sufficient physical force to main
tain said character as w ell as to perform the
duties Incumbent upon the appointees, and
that tbe tenure of ofhee should bo based upon
fidelity to trust and to duty.
A KEW OFFICE KECOMMEXDED.
The appropriation for the year 1890 provides
for an appropriation of $3,000 as the salary of a
ifm Director, and I shall bring this matter
ofScially before your honorable bodies in the
near future in the nature of an ordinance
creatine said office. The city of Pittsburg, in
virtue of its wonderful growth and develop
ment, has assumed such large proportions and
become so important that there should be a
competent and efficient person appointed as
Fire Director, whose special duty would be to
take command of the various tire companies at
a fire, and assume full control of the same.
He should be a person especially qualified ior
the place, being calm and courageous, having a
knowledge of fire matters, chemical combus
tion, construction of uulldings. and strength
and character of building material: in short, in
addition to natural heroic qualifications, be
should have some special scientific training.
Of the Bureau of Police, Mr. Brown calls
attention to the good work of Superintendent
Gamble Weir, also to the fact that all the
station houses in the city, with the excep
tion of the Central station, will be com
pleted this year, and will place the Police
Bureau, so far as station houses are con
cerned, on a basis that will compare favora
bly with any city in the country; he asks
tbe members of Councils as they pass by
station houses to drop in and inspect the
condition and regulation of them. It is also
remarked that the report shows a high per
fection and completeness of police records in
this city, and that they are now equal to the
APPARENT WISDOM.
The wisdom of dividing the city, so fas as
police regulations are concerned, into three
districts and having at the head thereof an in
spector, I think has become more and more ap
parent. Each of these three inspectors has at
tached his annnal renort of tho work done in
the respective districts, and they contain much.
valuable and special lniormaiion, snowing in
detail the vast number of prosecutions of
criminals and the suppression and extinction
of vice and immorality, and the regulation and
control of the Babbath day. making tbe same a
day of quietude and peace and rest to all our
people tluoughout tho whole city, worthy of
your investigation.
I am happy to state that all kinds and char
acter of gambling have finally been eradicated
and driven out of the cit; that thereat enow
no public places of gambling whatsoever; that
faro banks, poker rooms, public dance houses,
and dives of all description s have been eradi
cated ana expelled from the city.
RESULT OF A STRUGGLE.
This has not been brought about without a
great struggle against men. money aud political
influence, and that it has been achieved at all,
in view of tbe stern and uncompromising efforts
made to continue a perpetuation of these vices,
is. great credit to the Police Bureau, and that
tho suppression ot the vices has been a great
benefit to the city, socially and morally, there
can be no doabt.
Chief Brown here dwells at length on the
improved morality of the city as regards the
extinction of disorderly houses or their rele
gation irom public view, which be says is
almost complete. Such places, he adds,
ought not, in his opinion, to be totally
eradicated, but rather placed under strict
police surveillance. He then continues:
DIFFICULTIES TO OVERCOME.
In enforcing the laws against crime In this
city there have been many difficulties in the
way, and I wish to embraco tho present oppor
tunity of calling your attention to some of
these, and ask your co-operation in overcoming
the same.
First In many cases it is a very difficult
matter to obtain positive proof against crim
inals. Second Tne opposition and Interference of
otherwise respectable people in the interest of
their friends, relatives, acquaintances or po
litical associates who have been unfortunate
enough to get within tbe meshes of tbe law
and on the criminal calendars
Third Councilmamc influenco and Inter
ference. Gentlemen, these things onght not to be. I
am well aware that a sterirTnforcemcnt of the
law is not what is wanted in a community made
up of a mixed population such as Pittsburg,
and the man that has the courage to do his
duty invites upon himself a conflict that will
ultimately carry him out of office and power.
Criminals and their associates are all against
good government. Many sensible citizens want
laxity in the enforcement of tho law as to their
friends and acquaintances and a great ma
jority of good citizens lovo to enjoy the peace
and quietness of law and order, bnt do not
wisn tne personal tronblo and inconventenco
of assisting to maintain the same
THE SPEAK-EASY EVIL.
I might in this connection call your attention
to the fact that, perhaps, tbe greatest force at
work to-day, silently in most cases, but surely,
for the disruption of tho moral condition of
the city is tbe illegal liquor traffic I am
aware, gentlemen, that this is a question about
which there are an infinite amount of opin
ions, but there are some facts that can easily be
proven from the records, and that is first, that
drinking is largely on tho Increase in the homes
and families of this city; second, that tbe
young and growing generation are becoming
acquainted with and familiarizing themselves
with the use of liquor in ihehonii lire that was
perhaps ncer known in Pittsburg prior to this
time. The speak-easy proprietor Is not wholly
responsible for this state of affairs. Tbe bot
tling house, wholesale liquor dealers and the
brewers that go beyond thPir premises to dis
pose of their goods are chargeable with much
of tbe introduction of liquor mto tho home life.
AN ASTONISHEE.
There nre at present nbout S00 apeak
en.lcn In tbe cily ofPitt.bnrjr.
The reason why these are not suppressed by
the Police BureaT may be a question that
might fairly be asked by your honorablo bodies
as well as by the public, and I answer:
First The Brooks law makes it the special
duty of the ward constable to return all un
licensed houses in their various wards.
Second License is tbe mere mercantile tax
for tbe privilege of engaging in and handling
of a legalized business made so by the State of
Pennsylvania, the collecting of which tax 13
not pirt and parcel of the work of the Bureau
of Police, in any sense, more than the collecting
of any other mercantilo or commercial tax.
Third It is not a breach of the peace or any
statutory law relating to the peace of tbe com
munity to be engaged In a legalized business
without having first paid a commercial tax.
Fourth The limited number of saloons and
their distribution is wholly inadequate for the
supply and wants of the drinking community
of this city.
ONE THING NEEDFUL.
There should be absolutely prohibition with
in tbe city of Pittsburg, or else there should
be such a number of saloons and so properly
distributed as to fairly and orderly supply tbe
wants and needs of tbe drinking classes in the
city. If this was done, and the proper authori
ties, whose business it is to collect the commer
cial and mercantile tax, would unite n ith tbe
Bureau of Police for tho proper enforcement
of tbe liquor law. and the collecting of tho
tax aforesaid in this city, tbe speak-easy man
would soon bo a relic of the past.
This department, however, lias vigorously,
aud with an unrelenting hand, attempted to
and with much success stamp out illegal traffic
on tho Sabbath day.
Before leaving tho subject of tho Police
Bureau, I wish to state that the morale of the
police force has been steadily improving dur
ing tne past year under the system of drills aud
rigid discipline, and the fidelity of the inspect
ors to their duty. Policing is a profession that
.can be only made successful by hard and labori
ous work and constant attention to duty. I
trust that with your co-operation and assist
ance tbe work of improving the morale of the
police of the city, enforcing of law and tbe
suppression of crime and for tho uplifting of
the Polfco Bureau may continue.
TRIBUTE TO THE TRESS.
Of the newspapers the Chief says:
During the year tbe criticisms of the various
newspapers haie been of the most friendly and
helpful character, and have been in the nature
of wise counsel and assistance, with but few ex
ceptions and they probably for political pur
poses and from party politics as it must be
apparent to every observing citizen and every
right-thinking man, that much better munici
pal government has been accomplished under
the new charter, and especially so far as police
administration and regulations are concerned.
At the end ot his report Chief Brown
writes:
1 liavc given my entire time and attention to
the personal management, supervision and con
trol of all work In my department, and am per
sonally responsible for all acts of omission and
commission that have occurred during the year
whereby the government of your city might or
could have been improved so far as this depart
ment is concerned. Ir such has been the case
it has been brought about owing to the magni
tude of the work to be done, and tho vast vari
ety of details requiring such constant atten
tion, labor and thought.
In conclusion permit me to say, gentlemen,
that with the countenance of your bearty ca"
operation, as well as tbe co-operation and as
sistance of all law-abiding citizens, and tbe as
sistance of those great conservatives of public
morals the pulpit and the press the city ol
Pittsburg, with its vast industries and wealth,
may add to it the better gifts of law and order,
peace and morality, and be, indeed, a great
city, blest of God.
I1K FEARS NO ENEMIES.
An Applicant for I.lcenao on the Merits of
His Hotel.
Mr. Thomas Delaney, the proprietor of
the Hotel Delaney, at the corner of Market
streptand Second avenue, is an applicant
for a retail liquor liccusc in his own name,
according to tne published list.
Mr. Delaney's friends insist that he kept
an orderly place during 1888. He says he
has no fears of his political enemies, and
asks no favors of them.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE DOING.
Some Who Travel, Some Who Do Not, and
Oibcrn Who Talk.
Mr. Biter, of Biter & Connelly, and
Julian Kpnnedy, of the Latrobe Steel Works,
went East last evening. Mr. Riter said tbev
bad a number of heavy contracts on hand, and
that tho prospects for a good year's business
were never better.
Messrs. Butler, Henderson, Fogarty,
Ray, .Montgomery and Hare, Pennsylvania
Railroad brakemen, returned from Philadel
phia jesterdny, where they were examined as
to their qualifications to fill conductors' posi
tions. Dr. R. XT. Stewart, of the Meicy Hos-
Sltal naff, left last night for a week's visit to

LOW WESTEBN FARES
'Jlie Kate Battle of Lines Beyond
Chicaxo to Begin To-Morrow.
HEAVY CUTS TO WILD WEST CITIES.
Electric Companies Spending $1,000,000
Tearly in Litigation.
BIG OIL OPERATIONS FOE THE SUMMEE
The Pennsylvania Company has issued a
circular to its agents, notifying them of the
big cut iu passenger rates that takes effect
to-morrow from Chicago to St. Louis, Kan
sas City, Denver, St. Paul aud intermediate
points The present rate from Pittsburg to
Kansas City is $24 SO, and the cut rate will
be ?20; from this city to Denver the regular
tariff is 542 65; after to-day it will be $30, a
reduction of $12 65. To other points the
rates are cut in proportion.
The Pennsylvania Company is always
careful not to disobey the inter-State law,
and in its instructions to agents il enjoins
them to give intermediate points their pro
portionate reduced rate. The is. oS u. and
the other local lines have also issued such
circulars, and a lively "Western war is pre
dicted. CAN'T TELL THEIR OUTCOME.
"The trouble," said a local passenger
man last evening, "is that you can't tell
where such rate fights will end. They are
liable to spread, though I don't think the war
will be carried east of Chicago, but it is bound
to reach to the Pacific coast. It was started
in a very simple way by the Chicago, Mil
waukee and St. Paul road. Many of the
lines west of Chicago like the Northwestern
and Union Pacific and the "Wisconsin Cen
tral and the Northern Pacific have made a
combination and they carrv solid through
trains over their roads without change of
cars. Now a passenger ou the Chicago, Mil
waukee and St Paul to the "West would
have to change at St. Paul, since they
haven't a receiving line. The TJnion Pacific
wanted to take them into the deal, but they
refused. The result is the Chicago, Milwau
kee and St. Paul road has been losing busi
ness. They tried to regain it by offering
agents double commissions and they are do
ing it now, but they were still losing money.
LIKELT TO LAST SOME TIME.
The cut was the last resort, and the other
lines have already met it. The slashing is
liable to continue some time. At the re
duced tariff the Chicago, Milwaukee and St.
Paul's share of the rate for passengers from
Pittsburg to St. Paul after the commission
of $2 to the agent is paid, is only 50 cents.
"Asa result of the cut the demand for
tickets to tbe "West has increased enorm
ously. Oh, it will be a good thing for the
Eastern lines, but woe betide the Western
managers wtien the enraged stockholders
suddenly jerk them up. Pittsburtr is not
kicking, neither are the people. The rates
are liable to De cut still further in a few
days."
LIMA FIELDS TO Hi WORKED.
Good Prospects for Extensive Oil Opcra
tlonii Nrxt Summer.
John Eaton, President of the Oil "Well
Supply Company, went East last evening.
In chatting about the prospects for business
in his line, he said: "The indications now
arc that as soon as the roads become navi
gable once more, the activity in the oil
fields will be enormous. The Standard Oil
Company is planning to put down a number
of wells in the Lima territory. They pro
pose to develop that field this summer on an
extensive scale. The demand foroil well sup
plies has been good all winter.and orders for
tbe summer are coming in at a lively pace.
It is commonly supposed that it costs a great
deal of money to sink a well in Allegheny
county. It does cost a little more than in
the Bradford field, but the expenses are not
nearly so heavy as they would have one be
lieve. Our Eusaian trade is growing. "We
now have three general acents located in
that territory.
"I think the new Ivory well would pro
duce 1,000 barrels per day if it was sunk
deeper. It is only four inches in the sand.
MUCH" USELESS LITIGATION.
Mr. Kerr Snys that SI, 000,000 Is Spent
Yearly by the Electric Companies.
Thomas B. Kerr, the patent attorney of
"Westinghouse Electric company, went east
last evening to attend to some legal busi
ness. "It is surprising," he said, "how
many petty suits are entered against us by
other electric companies. It costs us from
$200,000 to $300,000 per year to de
fend our rights. It is one suit
after another. "Why I was recently
in Europe for 60 days, and when I came
back I iound a batch of complaints and
allegations to answer, and not one of them
amounted to a row of pins. They will even
sue to keep us from getting an order, if that
will do it. ,
"The three electric manufacturing com
panies in the United States spend .yearly
$1,000,000 in useless litigation. The amount
of stock invested in all th concerns is $25,
000,000. Anyone can easily figure out what
a nice dividend the companies could pay
with this money."
BACK PROM NASI1YILLE.
Oelccato Chase Think the Clubs Did Somo
Good In ilic South.
George A. Chase, of Titusville, one of the
deleeates to the convention of National Be
publican League Clubs, ieturned from
Nashville yesterday. Mr. Chase is a United
States Commissioner and City Solicitor of
his own town. He said they were re
ceived nicely and entertained royally by
Bepublicans and Democrats alike. The
latter in particular were very much inter
ested and many of them attended
the meetings. Mr. Chase thinks that
the clubs made an impression
that will be lasting. He says the South is
picking upcast, and the people are sbow
ine considerable energy aud business enter
prise. A number of the Pittsburg delegates re
turned yesterday morning. Some of them
took advantage of the side trips to various
places in the South that had been planned
by the managers.
ANCHOR ICE FLOATING AWAY.
Tuo
Allegheny Ulvrr Covered With Small
Pieces Yesterday.
Yesterday the Allegheny river, whioh is
rather high, was covered with small pieces
of floating ice and snow.
"Where do you suppose that ice is made?"
said a young fellow to a reporter standing
on the Sixth street bridge.
"That is a ridiculous question to ask,"
the other replied. "Ice is frozen water, and
it is made ou the surface."
"Now that is where you are mistaken,"
the young observer answered. "The ice we
now see floating in the Allegheny is pro
duced at the bottom of the river, and it
rises to the surface and floats away. That is
what the geologists call 'anchor ice.' I
wouldn't believe it was trne at first, but
alter a thorough investigation I had to ad
mit that the theorv is correct. This ice
forms in cold weather on the bed of streams,
but it never becomes verv thick."
GOING TO MEXICO.
Tbe General Passenger Agents Will Start
From Cbicngo To.Dny.
General Passenger Agent A. E. Clark and
Mrs. Clark, of the Lake Erie Bailroad, left
yesterday for Chicago, where they will join
the party of passenger agents bound for the
annnal meeting iu Old Mexico. The special
train of Pullman cars will leave tbe "Windy
City this morning. Another train
start from St. Louis in the evening.
Both trains will be made up of the finest
vestibuled cars, and the famous Pan Ameri
can tram will be left in tbe shade. As a
general thing railroad men like to travel in
the best ot style, aud the passenger agents
are no exception.
Mr. Clark said he had never been in
Mexico, and he expected to enjoy the trip
immensely. General Passenger Agent Bus
sett, of the Pittsburg and Western, ana
General Passenger Agent E. A. Ford, of
the Pennsylvania Company, will also be of
the party.
FIYE CREWS NOW AT WORK,
And More Men Encased to Tnko the Place
of the P. & I E. Strikers.
The days of the Pittsburg and Lake Erie
strike are numbered. Five new men were
added to the list of those who take the
places of the strikers yeslerday, and five
crews were busily engaged all day getting
material to the mills and Making up trains
of out-bound freight.
They delivered 85 cars to the Pittsburg,
Virginia and Charleston, and 40 cars of
material were received. Forty cars were
delivered to the Baltimore and Ohio Transfer;
56 were taken away from Jones & Laugh
lins' mills to be shipped south, and 50 to go
north. Oliver's mills were supplied with
material from the Chartiers yards, as were
also the lower mills Sligo, Singer. Niniick
& Co. and Painter's. The Twenty-third
street freight yard was cleared up and
everything along the tracks was put in
pretty good shape.
Tbe railroad officials stated last night that
the strike is practically over. They have
in sight more men than are needed just
now, but it is expected that the business of
the road will increase shortly so that a still
greater number can be used. They expect
to bring about 30 men from Harrisburg and
Philadelphia. Others will come from Bos
ton, New York, Cleveland and Chicago.
The detectives were on duty all day yes
terday and will be continued in service for a
few days as precautionary measure against
possible interference from the old men.
Trainmaster Deitrich said last night that
everything is moving along smoothly now
and they expect no further trouble. He
had charge of one of the crews himself yes

EMMA EEED PLACED UNDER ARREST
Tlie Result of a Love for Dances and For
bidden Associates.
A DETECTIVE'S LIVELY EXPERIENCE
Emma Beed, a pretty little girl only 19
years old, spent the night in the Central
Police station. She is charged by her
brother, Edward M. Beed, a glass blower,
with incorrigibility. The Beed family lives
at No. 153 Fulton street, and is highly re
spectable. The father is a cripple, but his
sons are all industrious and sustain good
reputations. There are four daughters.
Edward Beed called at tbe police station
last night and related the following story to
Assistant Snperintendeut O'Mara: He said
that his sister, Emma, had fallen into bad
companionship, and had been associating
with young men and girls who were leading
her into evil ways. The father, being bid
up, was not able to look after the girl
properly, and that duty aevolved upon the
brothers, Edward and Charles. Emma had
worked for awhile in a restaurant, but had
grown tired of that drudgery, and had
ceased work. She then took up with a fast
set, and was often away from home until 2
o'clock in the morning. AVhen her brother
asked where she had been she generally said
that she was at a dance sometimes that she
had been staying with a lady friend.
couldn't keep her at home.
Her brother talked with her without good
result He forbade her to be in the com
pany of certain young men.
He said that Emma had been going to the
house of George Leech, No. 239 Second
avenue. Leech's stepson, known as
"Wrinkles," is now in the county jail, and
Edward positively forbade his sister to asso
ciate with that family. Last Thursday
evening George Leech went to the house on
Fulton street and asked to see Emma. She
was out. Leech then told her brother that
the girl was wanted down town the next
morning, to testify in a suit which another
girl had brought against Chief J. O. Brown,
tor $15 dnc as wages.
Edward Beed did not believe this story,
but he told his sister in the morning, and
she left the house. She did not come home
that evening, but that night young
Beed met his sister with the son of a
woman who keeps a speak-easy in the
Eighth ward, walking on the Panhandle
tracks, near Second avenue. This was one
of the proscribed young men, and Beed
seized both of them. The young man begged
to be let off, and he was allowed to go.
Emma promised to go home, and her brother
saw ber start on her way. She did not go
home, and last evening her brother learned
that she was at the house of George Leech.
"WITH ANOTHER PRETTY GIRL.
Leech is a member of No. 4 Engine Com
nauy, on Fifth avenue, and is away from
home nearly all the time. His wife is con
fined to her bed by a tumor, and the house
is run by Annie Courtney, a daughter of
the woman by a former marriage. Annie
is a black-haired, black-eyed woman, with
pretty features, red cheeks, and a trim fig
ure. Her brother, Ed Courtney, was last
week indicted, in conjunction with Martin
Flaherty and Harrv Fisher, for the bur
glary of" the office of Edward House, at No.
283 Forbes aveuue. The crime is alleged to
have been committed on the night of Janu
ary 7, the office door being pried open and
the safe blown with gunpowder. The men
were arrested by Detectives Fitzgerald and
Bobinson, the case being worked up on the
very slenderest clew. Flaherty has turned
State's evidence aud testified against bis
colleagues.
COULDN 1 SEE HIS SISTER.
Young Beed said that he had visited the
Leech house, but that the people there
wold not let him see his sifter. He accused
the family of harboring Emma for no good
purpose, "and asked police interference.
Detective William Shore was sent with the
young man to the house. Shore knocked on
the front door. He had been there before,
when the house was searched for stolen
property thought to have been secreted there
by "Wrinkle"
The door was locked and did not open at
the knuckle rapping. But Annie Courtney
appeared around the corner of the house,
with fight in her bright eyes. She asked
what was wanted, glaring at Shore aud
Beed. The latter she knew verv well. The
detective said he wanted to seeEinma Beed.
"Well, she'll not come out," the young
woman said, with an emphatic snap. The
flashing of her eyes lighted up the darkness
of the little yard, usually obscured in deep
shadow. Mr. Shore said that he had come
to see Emma, and intended to see her.
"You can't see her," said Miss Annie,
"and you'd better get out of here, vou
drunken loafers, you. I'll call the police
and have you arrested." She at once pro
ceeded to carry ont her threat, and at the
full compass of her voice, which is not dis
tinguished along that part ot Second ave
nue for weakness, she yelled: "Police!
Police!"
-A. GENERAL SURPRISE.
Now, Officer Truby Shaul was not far
away, ana in nan a miuuie or less tne clat
ter of his heavy bootsoles was heard on the
sidewalk. "When he arrived there was a
general surprise, cspicially on the part of
Miss Annie Courtney. The door was
opened without further delay, and Miss
Emma Beed was produced. She sobbed
and sighed, but she and Miss Courtney were
marched to the Central.
The eirl was put into a cell for the night.
The Courtney woman was allowed to return
home. She said to Sir. O'Mara that she
had not harbored the girl in her house, but
that her mother had hired Emma as a do
mestic. "The girl wont live at home," she
said, "because she had been abused there
and kicked out."
Mr. O'Mara suggested that Emma Beed
should be sent to Morganza. "No," said
the brother, "I don't want her sent there.
It would not do her any good. All I want
is for her to behave herself. If she will give
a positive promise to return home and stay
nt home, I will withdraw tbe charge."
The girl will be arraigned this morning.

FATAL FLY-WHEEL.
The Chief Enulnecrof the Black Diamond
Works Whirled lo Ills Death Shocking
Accident The Body or Frederick Heck
rnna Terribly Mangled.
At 10:40 o'clock yesterday forenoon Fred
erick Heckman, chief engineer at the Black
Diamond Steel "Works, met with an acci
dent that cost him his life. It seems that
they were cleaning out the boilers at the
mill, and Mr. Heckman was superintending
the work. He was caught in the fly-wheel
of the pump, and was whirled around once
and thrown with great violence to the floor.
"When picked up it was found that one leg
was bndly crushed, a wrist broken and that
he was injured internally.
He was at once removed to the WestPenn
Hospital by Dr. Clark, and after a closer
investigation it was deemed advisable to
amputate tbe crushed limb, which was done.
Mr. Heckman's other injuries, however,
were of such a serious nature that he could
not stand the shock, and he died a short
time after the amputation.
Mr. Heckman was G2 years old. He lived
at No. 334 Thirty-ninth street. He had
been for many years at the Black Diamond,
and was well known and much respected iu
Lawrenceville. He leaves a wife and a
large family. Nearly all his children are
married.
A S0DTHSIDE GYMNASIUM.
St. TInccnt's Lliernry Society Considering
xtenslvc Plans.
If the plans now in contemplation by the
St. Vincent Literary Society, of the South
side, should be practically executed, that
section of the city will soon witness the erec
tion of a building rivalling the Central Y.
M. C. A. quarters. Tbe St. Vincent is one
of the oldest organizations ot the kind in
the western part of the State, and will cele
brate its twenty-fifth anniversary in 1891.
The present quarters of the society on
South Twelfth and Frederick streets have
long since ceased to be commodious enough
for them, and this also has had a share in
bringing out the plans for improvement and
extension.
The meeting to take action on a new char
ter and constitution will be held to-morrow
evening. Several informal meetings have
been held during the last week with the
priests of the Allentown, Mt. Oliver, St.
Peter's and St. Michael's German Catholic
churches, to talk over the plan. The idea
of erecting a building to contain a library,
reading room, gymnasium and billiard par
lors, has been talked ot among them for
some time, but the aim always has been to
amalgamate the members of their different
congregations with St. Vincent's. A change
in the rules of the organization will permit
this and secure the co-operation of the sev
eral pastors. "When this is done, an annex
will be built on Frederick street to accom
modate the increased membership, and as
soon as possible a large structure will be put
up on a site to be selected.
A COAL MINER'S FEAT.
He Dag 02 Cars of Black Diamonds In 11
Bays.
The clerks at Lysle, Bailey & Co. 'a
mines, at Camden, have established' a mu
seum of their own. "Happy Jack," well
and favorably known as the general utility
man about the premises for 16 years, cap
tured a huge white owl in the vicinity of
New England while delivering goods. The
owl is imprisoned under a large tub in the
second floor of the stone building. He tips
the beam above the seven pound notch. A
large aggregation of patrons, as well as
commercial tourists, have been invited to
see this monstrosity. An enterprising mu
seum manager of this city is negotiating lor
his purchase.
"Walter Calverley,of the Alliquippa mines,
Camden, mined 92 cars of coal in the last
11 days, aggregating 2,310 bushels. The
scale price of 3 cents per bushel netted
him $69 30 for 11 days work. Fonr cars of
25 bushels each. as considered a good day's
work. The output is an unusual one. Mr.
Calverley is a young Englishman not weigh
ing over 135 pounds and says that had be
known that there wonld have been so much
fuss made about his output, he certainly
could have made it 100 cars instead. The
Camden boys say they would like to hear
from the diggers up and down the Monon
gahela river.

That GIne Failure Anticipated by
Several Allegbenians.
FEW OF THEM WANT TO TALE,
Tuinkinj: Mr. Uanghev a Yery Capable
Man, and None of Them
POSTED ON HIS BUSINESS AFFAIRS
The failure of the "W. A. Baeder GIne
Company, of Springdale, as far as its actual
occurrence is concerned, came in the nature
of a surprise, aithouch there are many per
sons residing iu the upper portion of Alle
gheny who are said to have been expecting
it. During yesterday the matter was a gen
eral topic of discussion, not only on account
of the connections of some of tbe members of
the firm, but of the many persons who are
said be "caught," to a greater or less ex
tent, in the failure.
Those to whom the assignment is not sur
prising, state as their, reasons for such an
opinion the evident carelessness of Haughey
in tbe management of the works. .They ad
mit on all sides the capability ot the man to
conduct the business of which he had
charge. He was well known as a really
first-class glue manufacturer in fact, it is
stated that the Armour Company, of Chi
cago, has been after his services for some
time. He seemed to be always traveling
to New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Buf
falo, Chicago, and such places, drumming
up trade, as was claimed.
DON'T "WAST TO TALK.
Efforts were made yesterday to get the
views of a number of parties said to be in
volved or interested in the assignment
with but little success. There seemed to be
a pre-arrangenient to keep out of the reach
of the newspaper folk. One gentleman, a
son of A. Holstein, who lives on North
Canal street, was the only one knowing any
thing of the matter who could be prevailed
upon to talk. He said:
"The only information I have in the mat
ter is gathered in a general wav from my
father, who had loaned about $17,000 to
Hanghey on the paper issued by him. I
lrequently told my father to refrain from
touching any of it, as I had but little confi
dence in Haughey. He was always dancing
round and doing the grand, like a million
aire, which was not in keeping with the
standing of the concern of which he was
tbe manager. I understand that Wm. Flac
cus loaned him about $13,000, and I have
been told of quite a number who hold the
paper for small sums.
nELPED BY HIS FATHER.
"How they will make out I cannot say.
My father, however, is well secured. He
was quite nervous for a time during the
early portion of last week, but Haughey
brought his father here from Indianapolis,
a wealthy man and President of a leading
bank there. He gave my father about
$7,000, and secured the balance to him in
real estate.
"What became of.the money borrowed is
a question that I could not answer. I do
not feel disposed to criticise Hanghey or
offer an opinion as to bis conduct."
Mr. Howard Kern, a member of the firm,
is expected to arrive in the city this week,
when the (acts in the matter will likely be
brought to light.
ACCIDENTS OF A DAY.
Tho Unfortunate People Who Wcro
In-
jared In Yarious Ways.
Ernest "W. Marland, the young son of
Hon. Alfred" Marland, of "Wyoming street,
was the victim of a serious accident while
coasting Saturday night. He was on a sled
with several other boys and a collision oc
curred in which young Marland was thrown
on his head, sustaining several scalp wonnds
and other bruises. He was removed to his
home, where a physician attended him.
Patrick O'Brien, of Braddock, was
broueht to the Mercy Hospital yesterday
suffering from a fractured right leg, which
he received by falling in front ot St.
Peter's Church.
Mrs. Frank P. Mahon, who lives at No.
G30 Boup street, fell down a flight of stairs
at ber home last evening, injuring her back
and fracturing her right arm.
ITS SUCCESS CONTINUES.
Tho Second Avenne Electric Road Doing; a
Flourishing; Business.
The Second Avenue Electric road closed
its first week Saturday night. The cars
were crowded all day Saturday, and the
indications are that before the road is in
operation a month the traffic will have in
creased fully 200 per cent.
One of the men interested in the company
said yesterday that they are greatly encour
aged with the prospects for the future of the
road. There are several new plans of lots
being laid out for sale out Second avenue
and it is expected that other inducements
will be offered to the people to move ont
that wav.
HE'S AFTER ME REWARD,
An Allegheny Man Who Doesn't Return I,ost
