CAUSES LEAD15G TO THE EASH ACT. Fiicnds of the Dead Han Are Astounded ty Tidings of the Deed. the At Wilfcesbarre last evening John B. Pettibone kissed his wife, told her to take care of the children, and then drew a pistol and blew out his brains. The family ot the dead man is wealthy, and the deed will cause a sensation. rErZCIAL TILEOKAM TO TBI DISPATCH.l "Wilkesbabre, March 11, "Goodby, Jennie, I must leave you. Do the best you nan with the children." So spake John B. Pettibone to his wife this evening, and, kiss ing her as he spoke, he placed a pistol to his head and scattered his brains on the carpet at her iect. It was the closing act in a struggle of some months against a want of work, inability to provide for his family, despondency, and despair. He died without one cent in the world, without a home, without even a stick of furniture or anything but the clothes he stood in. Yet his immediate relatives, his father and others, are very rich people. John B. Pettibone was the son of Stephen Pettibone and nephew of the late Paine Pettibone, of Wyoming, a family among the wealthiest in Luzerne county. At his death, a year and a half i t; Tot:t, ii ..t.i. .i.j af. "SS;!?8.1'1'1.11 e?,ta Z?u T at nearly $2,000,000, but John B. Pettibona had become estranged irom his relatives, KEGAF.DED AS A BLACK SHEEP. "Why do you not apply to your father," his wife asked him but a day or two before he fired the fatal shot. He replied: "No, I will not go to him. I have always been the black sheep, and he would not help me." He has lived in this city for many years, earning a living as a teamster. Something over four months ago he lost his situation, and though he exerted every effort he conld obtain no steady work hereabouts. After waiting a month or more he resolved to go to Pittsburg and look for work. He went to Pittsburg and at first seemed to have good fortune. He wrote to his wife tb,at he had work and hoped that it would be steady, and that soon he would be able to have her join him. At last she got a letter saying that he had secured a home, that she should sell the little furniture they had, and get ready to come to him. She did so. Even the day of her departure was fixed and her trunks were packed and ready to go when bad news came. Pettibone had lost his situation and knew not where to find another. gbowing hopelessness. This was about a month ago, and almost every day she received letters from her husband, but all told the same tale of inability to find work, and of growing hopelessness and despondency. Finally, on Saturday, he came home to find his wife and children in two small rooms without a cent of money, and every thing reminded him of his lost home. Fettiboue had many friends here who were ignorant of his poverty and ill-luck. If the circumstances had been fully known some way of assisting him would have been fonned. But he was proud as well as poor. The suicide will cause a great sensa tion here. 17? A SOUROiVISG HOJTC. 0II Jones Talks About Her Brother's At tempted Calcific. Miss Annie Jones, sister of the man who attempted suicide in New York yesterday, an account of which appears on the first page, was seen at her residence, No. 144 Forty-fifth street, last evening. She said: "My brother left home about two weeks ago to visit New York and try to obtain a better situation than he had in this city. He was a weighmaster in Carnecie's Thirty-third street mill and thought he could get a situation keep ing books in New York. We had a letter from him about a week ago and he was in the best of health. I cannot account for his action. He was only 24 years of age, and was a graduate of the commer cial department of the High School in the class oi '84. His father was Alderman Jones, of the old Filth ward, who died about five years ago. My brother did not drink nordidhehave any mental trouble of any kind. He did not have any friends in New York, and may have become despondent ou account of not finding a good situation." HOT ENOUGH" TO EAT. a. Blind Orphans for Whom the State Fays Oat S3 SO a Week. ISrECIAL TELEOBAK TO THE DISPATCTI.t Philadelphia, March 11. Charges have been made that abuses have been prevalent in the Pennsylvania institution for the instruction of the blind. It is alleged that insufficient food has been provided. Now comes Congressman John E. Rcyburn, and confirms all these charges, as well as making additional ones. The State formerly gave the institution 5300 a year for the support of each blind pupil from Pennsylvania. This amounted to 48,000 in 1888 and 1889. For this year and next it will be 846,600, the per capita having been reduced to 5250. Even with this reduction the institution receives 55 50 a week for the board of pupils, against 51 50 a week received by schools for the board of soldiers' orphans. TKI-STATE BUEY1TIES.

The building trades strike at Wheeling seems no nearer a solution than it did a week ago. Both sides are holding aloof, and there are no conferences or suggestion offered from either side. Cody B.

Mnrderer Smith Hns on Opportunity to Have Another Wife. The condemned negro, William H. Smith, seems to enjoy bis present rather embarrassing position with more equanimity than any prisoner who has as yet been in jail under a death sentence. He takes the molasses and biscuits with bntter, which the Pberifl so kindly allowed him, and is growing fat on the diet. The baptismal question is settled, so far as Rev. Mr. Pryor is concerned, by his refusal to use a jail hath, saying ltwould be a mockery. Rev. K. R. Donchoo said yesterday that the prisoner was resigned and in good health, and his statements were corroborated by the Warden and Deputy Warden last night. There seems to be no donbt that Allegheny county will have a novelty in the shape of an execu tion next month. No preparations have yet been made as far as the building of the scaf fold is concerned, but that tho hanging will take place is looked upon, not alone by the jail officials, but by the colored minister nho at tends the doomed man, as a certainty. The visit of a dusky young woman to the jail yesterday asking to seu Smith, Lrougnt out the fact that she had previously been engaged to be married to him, and now that he bad made himself a widower she was willing to become his widow. Thus failing to obtain baptism as required, be bas a chance to plunge into matri mony for a second time. FOK STa'Pfl EN SON'S WIDOW. The Central Board Paid Her a Fall Month's Salary for Fcbrunry.

Yesterday morning an electric car of Eist street or Blue line, of the Pleasant Valley road, left the track at the turn from Union ave nue to Church, Allegheny, and ran into the house on tne corner. The motor man failed to slacken the speed at the turn, and the shrieks of the women in the car were mingled with the exclamations of the people in the house, who wero suddenly aroused horn their morning naps. Complications Without End. A. B. Stevenson, Esq., solicitor for Braddock borough, states that in the event of Mr. Gour ley getting damages for injuries while driving under the bridge on Thirteenth street, the town ship would be equally liable with the borough, as the line between the borough and township is in tho center of the street.

ONE OF THE FEATURES. Coal lands which had previous to that time been worth only $50 an acre had gone up since to 5600 and $800. This was in re ply to the statement in the memorial pre sented by Mr. John Dravo to the effect that the coal mining and shipping interests on the Mnnongahela were seriously crippled by the existence of the improvements. He de clared that the tolls of the company were the lowest of any similar company in the country. But, if the propesition to purchase the property is acceded to by Congress, these coal men will find their lands which they bought at $10fl per acre worth 5500 per acre, and he thought it was a rapid way to make money by a mere legislative act. He believed they would make double as much as these works were worth. "They say they are not making money now," he continued. "I would like you to ask who the coal barons of Pittsburg are. The coal business was bad in 1889 lor the reason that the demand was not so great as in previous years, and also on account of the strikes. For this reason our receipts were 563,000 less than in 1888. The dullness in the coal trade is, however, unfairly charged in Mr. Dravo's memorial to the fact of the existence of the improvements ot this company, whereas the real truth is that there would be no commerce at all to speak of were it not for their existence." A VALID FRANCHISE. Mr. Camahan then went on to cite numer ous instances in which the Supreme Court had ai trays held that a franchise for bridges, locks and dams granted by a State is valid until Congress, interfered and declared the rivers public highways. In answer to some questions from memb'ers of the committee, he stated that the Navigation Company was chartered in 1839. From that time until 1853 not one cent was paid in dividends. The work was at first unsuccessful. Many of stockholders gave up their holdings, and it was not until General Moorehead took charge that the property was placed in good condition. From 1853 to 1876 it paid small dividends. After 1876 it paid 12 per cent, but since 1884 that dividend has been paid by stock. About 53,000,000 has been paid out by the company for construction and repairs. The par value of the stock is 550 per share and it is no w selling at $85. From the nature of the company the stock cannot be watered. Mr. Carn'ahan then closed his argument and the committee adjourned. Messrs. Shiras and Carnahan lelt lor home to-night. Lightnee.

ENLARGEMENT Boots, Sloes, RnDDers5 Sliiipers, Progressing Freely, The fact is fully established in the mindj of the public that our bar gain sales are genuine, that our offerings are tempting, and that every representation made is carried out to the letter. Hence the success which has followed our efforts to please the people. Besides the bargains which we have already published both in high and medium grades of Shoes, there are others which we can quote every day in the week if so disposed. With an immense stock to rely upon our means to gratify all tastes is inexhaustible, and we take pleasure in leading the mind into new channels of thought on the all-important sub ject of Footwear. Naturally one will buy where the greatest real value is given,and we desire you to think this over. We mean where the best goods for the money are sold. Prices are somewhat confusing unless you know the value of the goods. After you see them, handle them and give them every turn that close scrutiny would suggest, we have no fear for the re sult When we say that a bargain exists in a certain line of goods, re member we have digested the subject well; it would be folly to throw out some worthless things, calling them by misleading names and putting on a price which seems cheap that is, way down in figures, but not cheap in reality. Understanding the value ot goods, we never issue a bargain that has not been fully considered in our judgment to mean that the buyer can gain a decided advantage in purchasing it Shoes at regular prices vary but little, except when the market affects changes by rapid fluctuations. When these regular prices, then, are cut for some specific purpose, as for example our enlargement sale, this means that we are happy to give the public a chance at that particular time rather than move our goods that the contractor's work may not be impeded. This explains why, at a juncture like the piesent, we are willing and able to make bargains all along the line and move our goods at a liberal dis count right where they are needed. As an illustration we quote two only of the many bargains offered, which, mind you, is a continuation of our bargain sale talk: A GENTLEMAN'S FINE CALF WELT SHOE, either in Bal, But ton or Congress, all styles of Jasts, finished in good taste, a shoe which we warrant, at $2.90.
