Governor Campbell Calls on
the Eandall Club.
FIVE HOUBS THEIE GUEST.
He Shakes a Thousand Democratic
and Republican Hands.
JUDGE MAGEE GIVEN A HINT.
More than a thousand Democrats and a
considerable sprinkling of Republicans
among the latter Mayor McCallin, of this
city, and Mayor Pearson, of Allegheny,
Judge Slagle, and others too numerous to
mention thronged the rooms of the Eandall
Club last night to take Gorernor James E.
Campbell, of Ohio, by the hand, the oc
casion being the return game, the first being
played by the Randall Club at Colnmbus
on the occasion oi Governor Campbell's in
auguration. The matter was entirely social, and all
efforts to draw the distinguished guest out
on the subject of the Ohio gerrymander and
the McComas bill were futile. He talked
freely, but showed his ability to talk and
say nothing that had any hand-hold to it,
except by implication.
Governor Campbell arrived at Union sta
tion on the 7:10 p.m. train, where he was met
by the Reception Committee, Colonel P. N.
Guthrie, J. P. Fieining, Thomas Wallace,
"W. J. Wright, J. K. Fletcher, Frank J.
Weiiel, Colonel Echols, T. O'Leary, Jr.,
John McCaffrey, W. A. Ogden and William
J. Weixel.
TAKES' TO THE CLUBHOUSE.
The distinguished guest was escorted to
the Seventh Avenue Hotel, where, after be
ing refreshed, he was escorted to the club
house on Sixth aveuue.arriving shortly after
S o'clock, and handshaking, congratulation
and repartee filled the time for three hours.
The floral decorations of the room were
fine, and the Governor was received in a
style that evidently made him feel safe from
the start. Each member of the club, and
many beside, wore roses red or white in
the lapels of their coats, and the Dust of
Grover Cleveland showed up gorgeously,
also decorated in the same manner.
President F. J. Weixel introduced Gov
ernor Campbell generally, and then the
guests filed past him, taking his hand as
thev passed. The first man to shake it was
C. Zug, of the Sable Iron Works. Judges
Slagle and Magee, K. W. Pier, Esq. and
Alderman Cassidy. P. Foley, W. J. Bren
nen, Councilman Mullin and others of the
County Democracy followed in rapid re
view and the greeting was cordial, but brief,
except when Governor Campbell stopped to
warn Judge Magee not to attempt to sit down
on the beer men, as it had been tried with
disastrous results in Ohio.
SOME OF THOSE PEESEKT.
Where every Democrat felt himself to be
a king, it is perhaps invidious to mention
names, but there were too many to notice in
one evening. Among those presented and no
ticed by the reporter were ex-Postmaster
Larkin, three aspirants for County Com
missioner, Messrs. McWilliams, Alex.
Wilson and D. J. Boyle; ex-Congressman
Patton, of Judge Harry White's bailiwick;
H. J. Layden and James D. Temple, of
East Liverpool, O., who said they wanted
to see their Governor, and Pittsburg was
nearer than Columbus; James J. McNally,
of Youngstown, O., who gave a similar ex
cuse; Frank Grosser, of the Allegheny
county bar; J. G. Weldon. who
rejoiced to meet the man that
had flattened Foraker; Governor
Campbell responded that be could do it
again, if necessary. An incipient Demo
crat, 17 years old, Thomas McMahon, ex
pressed a desire to see the guest of the
evening President of the United States, and
made way for T. J. Keenan, Esq.
THE RAKDALL BUTIOJT GIVEN HIM.
Colonel Echols next decorated Governor
Campbell with the Randall button, and
then gave way to John R. Large, Esq., who,
however, was the first man to set tne pot
boiling. He yanked the Governor
almost off his pins, telling him
that he was glad to greet him as
Governor, and would be more rejoiced when
he shook bands with him as President, then
turned abruptly and embraced a man whom
he designated as "Big Fourteen." It was
hird to say which blushed the deepest,
Governor Campbell or Mr. Connor. But
Mr. Large tore himself away and gave place
to Nathan Gossett, Daniel "Werling, Peter
Schwab, of Hannibal, O.; Captain Webb,
Messrs. Frauenheim and Vilsack; Barry
and Groft. of Unionlown; Dr. Pat
lofi, ex-Assemblyman O'Neill, District
Attorney Johnston, Henry Meyer, Esq.,Mr
Wood, of the Exchange National Bank, D.
M. Donehoo, postmaster at Beaver, Charles
Smith, postmaster at Homestead, and many
others, until it looked as though the
line would stretch out to the crack of
doom, and how much longer it were im
possible to tell, had not a diversion been cre
ated by the discovery of two candidates for
County Commissioner, Messrs. Wilson and
McWilliams, in a corner, supposably trying
lo arrange a pooling of issues to shut other
aspirants out of the race. Thinking a fight
might result, Tom Wallace and H. T. Mor
ris engaged in an effort to make them kiss
and make up, when the Reception Commit
tee discovered that it was time to take the
Governor back to the hotel.
HABS'I TIME TO TALK.
Another effort was made to draw him out
on engrossing political topics, but he was
as unimpressible as the sphinx, and the
crowd dispersed.
The Governor returned to Colnmbns on
the midnight train, escorted to the depot by
a large crowd of admiring Pittsburgers.
One of Governor Campbell's callers who
received an extra warm handshake, was a
young man whose father was one of Mr.
Campbell's constituents in the Congressional
district that the Governor carried for
the House ot Representatives by a majority
of just two votes, and those two were cast
by the said constituent and one of his
neighbors at South Lebanon, at the eleventh
hour on election day. That successful race
for Congress it was, as much as anythins,
that paved the way lor Governor Campbell's
later political preierinert.
Governor Campbell has informed Colonel
Echols that he. with his staff, would come
from Cleveland to this city to attend the
Scotch-Irish convention in the latter part of
May, and he would make a speech on the
occasion.
PROMPT ACTION NEEDED.
The Howard Street Fnmplnc Elation to
be
Repaired tit Once.
The Allegheny Sub-Water Committee
met last night to take steps to repair the
Howard street pumping station that was
ruined by the explosion on Sunday.
Superintendent Armstrong stated that im
mediate action was necessary, and after a
short consultation the committee decided to
meet at the station at 9 o'clock this morning
to view the premises and order whatever
new machinery may be needed.
JUST LIKE AX AUDIENCE.
A Broken Sent Almost Create! a Panic In
Unr.-i Theater.
A seat broke in the gallery in Harris
Theater last evening, and the noise of the
fracture terrified the audience.
The people at once rose in their seats, and
some rushed to the doors and got ont, but
order was soon restored. No one was hurt.
THE FUNDS TO BE DIVIDED.
All Controversy Over the Day Nursery to be
Coded To. Day A Joint Committee Will
Scute too Matter The Board and Colon
Will Separate as Friends.
The Board of Managers of the Allegheny
Day Nursery held an important meeting
yesterday afternoon. The business that Oc
cupied their attention was a proposition
from the Sterrett Union to arbitrate the dif
ficulties existing between the board and the
union over the future control of the nur
sery and the division of the funds belong
ing to the institution. A committee con
sisting of Mrs. Samuel Sloan, Mrs. James
Arthura nd Miss Mary Stevenson, repre
senting the Sterrett Union, presented the
following proposition on behalf of that or
ganization :
Recognizing that the ladies of the Nursery
Board have worked nobly to make the nur
sery what it is; and being assured on their
own declaration that they cannot longer work
under our organization, and that thev have
applied for a charter for another nursery, to
be independent of any temperance union,
we propose an amicable settlement of the
difficulty by agreeing that the independent
nursery shall have $500 of the money in the
treasury to assist in an undertaking in
which they can work. We know that there
is much to do and room for all. The separa
tion shall take effect April 1, Sterrett Union
to assume all responsibility at that time.
We are prompted to this action by the
remembrance that there are bonds of friend
ship between us begotten by years of united
work, dating back long before we were
called together in this work; some are united
by the sacred ties of relationship. Hence
no root of bitterness should spring up or
cause estrangement and bring dishonor on
the Master whom we are trying to serve.
This matter was thoroughly discussed,
every member of the board expressing her
individual views on the matter. There was
a considerable diversity of opinion among
the managers, although the discussion was
free from all bitterness. Some thought,
however, that there shonid have been an
equal division of everything, including the
money and the furniture in the nursery;
some favored a plan givine the union half
the money and the building and the man
agers the remainder of Ihe money and the
furniture; others argued that the board
shouldbe willing to take the 5500 offered by
the union, and have no further controversy
over it.
The matter ended by the appointment of
a committee with full power to act to confer
with a similar committee from Sterrett
Union with a view to arbitrating the matter
to-day. The board expressed its willing
ness to bind itself to whatever decision the
joint committee might arrive at, providing
the union should do the same. The com
mittee appointed bv the board are Mrs.
Charles Keerer, Mrs. G. B. Hill and Mrs.
N. W. Stevenson.
It is likely the matter will be finally set
tled to-day. There seems to be a disposi
tion on the part of both the board and the
onion to separate in a friendly manner, and
this could not have been done had the con
test over the funds continued. As one of
the managers put it: "The whole fund is
not enough to warrant us in losing our dig
nity to fight over it."
BODSD TO BE LIVELY.
An Animated Scion of tlie Board of Viewers
Hchedaled for To-Dny.
There will be a very animated meeting
of taxpayers this morning at the office of the
Board of Viewers. The widening of Cecil
alley has been stated by postal card to the
property holders on Fifth avenue as a sub
ject which they are financially interested in.
The said property holders make a very able
kick on the ground that there will
be no bridge from the part of Cecil
alley to Allegheny, and the benefit
of the widening could not be appreciated by
Fifth avenue Business people. Paul Hacke
thought that the proposed widening would
only benefit those concerned in the im
mediate neighborhood. Dr. Hussey, who
owns property on both sides of Fifth avenue,
did not think that Fifth avenue men should
pay for the improvement. The Central
National Bank will have its President as its
representative before the Board of Viewers,
to-day, to show that there is no benefit
accrning to the Fifth avenue property lrom
the opening of Cecil alley.
On the part of the Board of Viewers, T.
J. O'Leary, Jr., said yesterday afternoon
that the widening of Cecil alley meant sim
ply a prolongation of Fifth avenue, and the
thoroughfare so made would increase trade
and apDreciate property. This is the ground
taken by the Board of Viewers, which will
be argued this morning.
GETTIKG INTO SHAPE.

Temperance and Miss Marv Munroe will

Societies," and the subject for Mrs. J. S.
Collins' paper will be "Answers to Criti
cisms." This latter paper has been prompted by
the action of the publishers of the Christian
Statesman, who are said to have sent circu
lars broadcast attacking the non-partisan
faction.

Toung People's Union of the Fourth
Church. In the eveningaddresses will be de

A PLEA FOR SMITH.
Colonel W. D. Blooro Goes to Harrlsbnrc to
Ask Mercy for the Murderer.
Colonel W. D. Moore went to Harrisburg
last evening to appear before the Board of
Pardons in behalf of Frank Hunter, an 18-year-old
boy of Oil City, who was sent up
lor nine months on a serious charge. The
Colonel will also make a plea for Smith,
the colored murderer, who is sentenced, to
be hanged April 9. Mr. Moore said that
Judge White a few days ago wrote a strong
letter to the board asking that the sentence
be commuted to life imprisonment. The
Judge says he was fairly convicted, but the
act, he thinks, was committed lrom "insane
jealousy."

and replied that he would come after him.
CALLED SPITE WORK.
Inspector Layton Says the Hnns Were
Not Contract Laborers.
PUDDLEKS MAY WANT AN ADVANCE
Marvin's Business Said to le Prospering
Under the Boycott.
THE LIBOR ITEMS OF ALL TEADES
R. D. Layton, Special Agent of the
Treasury Department, said yesterday that
the reported importation of 600 Hungarians
was nothing but a sensation instigated by
spite on the part of the New York State
Commissioners in Castle Garden. Mr. Lay
ton says he does not think the 600 men were
under contract, and nothing would have
been said about it if the representatives of
the Federal Government and the State Com
missioners had not been at war against
each other. He says the latter sent out the
report for the purpose of creating the im
pression that the others were not attending
to their business.
To a Dispatch reporter Mr. Layton
said: "All this business about these men
being imported under contract is buncombe.
I have found out that this report was sent
out bv the State Commissioners of New
York who were relieved by Secretary Win
dom. As The Dispatch stated yesterday,
there is a war going on between the State
Commissioners and the Federal Govern
ment Formerly the State authorities had
the control of the immigrants arriving at
Castle Garden. There were so manv com
plaints made to the Secretary of the Treas
ury about the way business was done at
Castle Garden, that he sent the Solicitor of
the department to New York to make an in
vestigation. FOUND THEM NEGLIGENT.
"The Solicitor found the State authorities
were neglecting their duties. He reported
back to the department that it would be to
the beat interests of the service to take the
matter out of the hands of the State and put
it under the Federal Government. This was
done January 1. Since that time the State
authorities have been trying to create the
impression that the Federal officers were ne
glecting their duties. When the last crowd
of Hungarians slipped through, they imme
diately said they were imported miners.
This I have found to be untrue by investi
gation. Where did they go? They did not
arrive in the coke country, they did not go
to the river mines, nor did they appear at
Punxsutawney. Without the means of
knowing, the kickers have discovered that
the law has been violated and 600 men have
been brought in under contract. Hundreds
of immigrants arrive every week, bat they
do not come under contract."
A LABOB LEADER'S VIEWS.
John Flannery, editor of the Trades
Journal, says: "I do not think the 600
Huns were imported miners. If they were
what of it? The Hungarians have as much
right to come to this country and make a
living as any other class of people. An
employer also has as much right to import
laborers as a church congregation has to im
port a preacher. There are no more men
being imported now than there was two
years ago. It has been going on all the
time. The law is violated with impunity,
and this condition of affairs will continue
until the laboring people of this country
send men to Congress who will work for
their interests and not for the railroads and
land grabbers."
The following special was received from
New York last night: "The Government
contract labor inspectors were at Castle
Garden to-day. They busied themselves
about the charges made in Sunday's Dis
patch as to their negligence in allowing
hundreds of contract laborers to pass through
the garden. In all the emigrants in the
garden they failed to find one contract la
borer." TO NOMINATE DELEGATES.
Ironworkers Will Pot Tjd Their Favorites
to the Convention Saturday.
Nominations for delegates to the annual
convention of the Amalgamated Association
in June will be held by a great many lodges
Saturday evening next. Last month a
printed blank was sent out to all the lodges,
asking for suggestions and alterations in the
new scale. The answers are nearly all in,
as they were returnable the first Monday of
the present month. Secretary Martin will
have the suggestions printed in pamphlet
form. Six weeks prior to the convention he
will forward a copy to each lodge, to enable
every member in the association to get an
idea as to what will be done at the conven
tion. Next month is the time for the elec
tion of delegates.
The most important change to be made in
the scale will affect the roughers on
guide rolls. The rule now is to pay so
much a ton, according to size. The scale
calls for one-half of the amount to be paid
to the roller. The heater is to receive one
fourth and the two roughers between them
one-fourth. A demand will be made by the
roughers for one-fifth. It is stated the guide
roll roughers will have a hard row to hoe at
the convention. It will be impossible to
elect a guide mill rougher as a delegate
from a lodge where the finishers are in
the majority. It is also said that the heaters
and rollers will oppose the advance on the
ground that if the change is made next year
tne puuaiers mignt asK tor an advance also.
This would come off the finishers. It is au
thoritatively stated that a movement of this
kind is already under way. As the majority
of the delegates to tbe convention are pud
dlers it is more than likely that they will
secure their point if it goes to a vote of the
convention.
It is also said that an effort will be made
to change the card basis from bar to pipe
iron.
Two new lodges of the Amalgamated As
sociation have been organized. One of them
is in the plant of the American Wire Com
pany at Cleveland and the other is in St.
Louis. This makes 51 lodges organized
since the last annual convention.
PROSPERING UNDER THE BOYCOTT.
The General Committee Met Last Night bat
Were Mnm About It.
The General Labor Committee held an
other of its long sessions last evening. The
committee was organized some months ago
for the purpose of prosecuting the boycott
against S. S. Marvin & Co. on acconnt of
the strike at the latter's factory. Notwith
standing the exertions of the boycotters, it
is said Marvin's busidess has been steadily
on the increase, as his books will show.
The committee met and talked. They
were to have taken some action on the
charges made against the Chairman, John
E. O'Shea. They were to elect officers also,
but whether they did or not could not be
learned. After deliberating until 20 min
utes to 12 o'clock, the boycotters called it a
day and left the half. They refused to say
what had transpired, or whether any action
had been taken in the O'Shea case. The
gentleman himself also had the seal of se
crecy placed upon him, as he said he had
nothing to say.
A BUSY DAI FOR THE POLICE.
St. Patrick's Dny Makes Plenty of Work for
Chief Brown'. Finest.
St. Patrick's Day kept the police em
ployed all over the First district, and at
midnight there were S3 cases in Central sta
tion. Of this number 34 of the prisoners
registered as natives of Ireland, and a num
ber of others gave America as their place of
nativity, although their names were de
cidedly Hibernian.
Drunkenness caused tbe arrest of 20 of the
Central station inmates, and disorderly con
duct of 23, the remainder being ch'arged
with various minor offenses.
ACCIDENTS 0P 0ME DAT.
Four Men Badly Burned by a Gas Explo
Ion at tbe Black Diamond.
John Hart, John Litche, John Luther and
Andrew Micham were badly bnrned yester
day by an explosion in the. Black Diamond
Steel Works. Early in the morning a slight
leak was discovered iu the natural gas pipe
which supplies the furnaces. Two plumb
ers came in the afternoon.to repair it, and
one of them brought a light too near to the
hole, and an explosion followed with the
above result.
Hart is a married man, 33 years of age,
and lives on Smallman, near Thirtieth
street. He was the most severely burned,
but his condition is not considered serious.
Litche lives on River avenue, Allegheny,
Micham on Troy Hill, and Luther at No.
2715 Railroad street.
George Cauldflower, an employe at Howe,
Brown & Co.'s mill, tell from a ladder yes
terday afternoon and had his left leg broken
in two places. John Whitemore, a"boy liv
ing on Elm street, fell from a cable car on
the Wylie avenue line yesterday mornine
near Fulton street, .fracturing his right leg
and receiving and ugly scalp wound.
Patrick Fay, a teamster, of Soho, had his
wagon smashed yesterday afternoon by the
coal train at the gas works on Second' ave
nue. He escaped uninjured.
A number of women sat on a counter at
Mrs. E. Wilkes auction out Fifth avenue.
The counter gave way, and some ankles
were sprained.
George Daubert, a painter, 24 years of
age, fell from a scaffold on which he was
working at a house on Seventh avenue yes
terday afternoon. He dropped 15 feet, but
had no bones broken. He was taken to the
Homeopathic Hospital.
ABOLITION OF BUILDING FEES.
A Matter of Importance to be Considered
by Councils.
There is a movement on foot which will
shortly materialize into an effort to abolish
the system of fees in the Building In
spector's office. The exception is taken by
men who have but a very small interest,
pecuniarily, and a large one politically in
the matter, and the result is that the fee
system is or will be condemned.
In consulting the authorities on the sub
ject, they said that it would be better to
abolish the fee system, but there were many
points to consider in the matter. In the
first place, the abolition of the fee system
would give men a chance to put a small ad
dition to their houses without being taxed
for the luxury; in the second place, there is
but a poor chance for new residents putting
up new houses when they are told that they
must pay a tax upon the addition to the
house which they had built by their own
hands in many cases.
The people in the city objected to this
move, which will be made in a short time,
on the ground that the only way to keep
supervision of the city buildings is to make
it a penalty to erect one in opposition to the
conditions required by law. The penalty is
placed by the Building Inspectors at a
nominal charge for permission to build,
wun a targe nne lor Duuaing witnout per
mission, whether it is for putting in a bay
window or a chicken house.
The matter will come up for discussion in
the next meeting of Councils.
FUNERAL OF MRS. JOHN BURNS.
The Well-Knovrn Charitable Woman Laid
-to Rest In St. Diary's.
The funeral of Mrs. John Burns, wife
of the well-known liveryman, took place yes
terday from her late residence on Center
avenue. Solemn requiem mass was sung in
St. Paul's Cathedral, over the remains by
Very Rev. Dr. Wall, rector of the church.
Father Graham was deacon, Fathers Con
way and Canevin sub-deacons, and Father
Molyneanx master of ceremonies.
Father Wall preached the sermon over
the remains. He took for his text "Blessed
Are the Dead Who Die in the Lord." His
sermon was a pathetic one, eulogistic of the
deceased. A large number of friends at
tended the funeral, the church being
thronged. The remains were interred in St.
Mary's Cemetery.
The floral tributes were elaborate and
costly. The employes of the West End
street car line sent a magnificent floral
sickle, while the hackmen from the stables
of Burns & Jahn sent a broken column.
The Standard cab and Second avenue elec
tric railway employes also sent appropriate
mementoes. .
STABBED WITH A CASEKNIFE.
A 6outbIder Seriously Cut Under
the
Shoulder by His Nephew.
There was a cutting affray on the South
side yesterday afternoon. John Youhas and
Joseph Golishi are stepbrothers and live
together on the Birmingham road. They
got involved in a quarrel yesterday, and
Goliski ordered Youhas from the house.
The latter left the house, but soon after
ward he returned again, when another quar
rel started. A 20-year-old son of Youhas
picked up a table knife and stabbed Goliski
in the side. A wound was inflicted under
the left shoulder, but it is by no means dan
gerous. The father was arrested, but the
son escaped. Dr. Moyer dressed Goliski's
wound.
JONES ON HIS WAX HOME.
His Mystic Chnlo Brethren Get Him Oat of
New York.
John H. H. Jones, the young man who
attempted suicide in a New York church a
few days ago, was yesterday handed over to
the brethren of the Mystic Chain, who took
charge of him. John J. Davis, the State
Secretary of the organization, left New York
with Mr. Jones yesterday afternoen.
Telegrams to The Dispatch report his
safe arrival at Philadelphia, on his way
home.
Don't Know Mr. Carpenter.
A telegram was received at Central sta
tion last night stating that no such person
as Nolan A. Carpenter lived at Dayton, O.
The telegram was addressed to "H. Hough
ton, Chief of Detectives, Pittsburg." It is
supposed that Houghton has been asking
for information. There is a detective by the
same name employed by the Pennsylvania
Railroad.

LOTS OF LIBRARIES.
New Suggestions as the to Disposi
tion of Forces and Funds.
UAINLIBEAEYIN SCHENLEY PARK
An Old City Branch and a Big Mnsic Hall
on the Bedford Avenne Site.
N0YEL IDEAS GITEN TO THE PUBLIC.
Mr. Andrew Carnegie has had, as'a mat
ter of course, his own ideas in regard to the
most equitable arrangement of the good
things he intends to shower upon Pittsburg
in the near future, but his favorite method
of procedure in regard to the development of
the free library and its adjuncts will be to
make sure of public approbation before any
decisive move is advocated in the mommis
sion. The fullest and freest discussion through
the newspapers is courted by all concerned,
and the manifest necessity is to have some
thing to discuss. To secure this end the fol
lowing detailed plans arc submitted to the
public, coming from an authoritative source.
The main library is projected to be near a
line closing the triangle formed by lines
drawn from the Point to East Liberty; in
other words, in the East End. The surround
ing should be,according to the present ideas,
15 to 20 acres of park and terrace. The
building should embody the architectural
beauties possible with plenty of ground to
use and ample funds to work out the most
advanced plans.
THE MAIN LIBRARY,
In the main library are to be the expen
sive editions of books; an art hall and rooms
for literary curios of all descriptions. Rare
works of reference and special lines of litera
ture would also be included, but the"ar
rangements for readers would be more
elaborate than in any of the branches.
It will be remembered that Mr. Carnegie
wrote to Mrs. Schenley some time since.
The main building might, perchance, be the
central point ot attraction, as well as geo
graphically, ot Schenley Park. Terraces,
walks and drives could all concentrate in
the plot, of which the building would be the
center. There would be a hall of moderate
size, with musical accoutrements, and the
city would, without a shadow of doubt,
cheerfully combine the plans of the park
and the library.
Saving tbe cost of the site would be a
strong feature in the merits of the proposi
tion. No park in America would be so
beautiful, and Mrs. Schenley is counted up
on as an active coadjutor of Mr. Carnegie
in such a movement.
As to the question of accessibility, the
arguments so cogently advanced in favor of
the park plan would answer all objections
arising from any source. It has been said
that Mr. Carnegie will double the amount
named in the letter to Councils. This will
be more clearly appreciated when it is
known that 1,000,000 would be considered
about the figure for the main building. The
otner details ot tee plan show now tne
extra-amount will be employed.
ONE FOB THE OLD CITT.
Lest the old city should feel itselfneglected
the following plan in detail is advanced:
What is called the Bedford avenue site
contains i acres. Below it, toward the
Union station, and included in the O'Hara
estate, are several acres of shanties. This
transformed into a terraced park would be a
beauty-spot facing the city property. The
old city branch would be the idea. Mr.
Carnegie will expend dollar for dollar on it
that was given to Allegheny; in other
words, $300,000.
Mr. Carnegie ha3 been surprised and de
lighted at the demand for the use of
Carnegie Hall, in Allegheny. It has given
him an impression that a magnificent and
spacious music hall in Pittsbnrg would
earn the money to;buy many a book in the
future. So it is considered that the old
city branch is entitled to the music hall
and that it is to be an immense affair,
with new ideas as to stage and
organ; something on tbe Chicago
Auditorium plan. The home of the Acad
emy of Sciences is included in the general
plan. Then comes the library proper; a build
ing stocked with useful, practical literature,
intended to benefit, in the wisest manner,
the 800 High School pupils who daily would
pass its doors. The building might be com
posite as is the Allegheny Free Library,
but the style of architecture would be simple
and imposing, in comparison with tbe ornate
architecture of the main building.
AVTAY IN THE FDTUBE.
The size of the site would allow of a re
served space for something yet a good dis
tance off, but nevertheless at the bottom of
Mr. Carnegie's horn of plenty, viz., a
grand free conservatory of music; one that
would educate Pittsburg's rising generations
in the realms of music. Possibly an art
school may loom out of the dim future.
The branch libraries for the upper South-
side, Temperanceville and Lawrenceville
would not be overlooked, although, of
course, much smaller in size than the main
building or the old city branch, but would
be thoroughly equipped with reading
matter. It would be assumed that any
thing special and outside of the ordinary
run of literature would be easily sought and
found at the principal depositories. Not
only this, but the Allegheny Free Library
might be considered as forming a branch of
the general plan, this being not in any
sense a cheapening of the handsome affair
upon the Northside.
It will be readily seen that Mr. Carnegie
expects City Councils to hold up his hands
in the matter oi devoting city property to
meet the ideas that have been the lruit of
careful deliberation and that are laid before
the public iu a most informal way for popu
lar approval.

NOT UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
Judge Stowe In Favor of Something Like
tbe Australian Ballot Law.
It being reported that Judge Stowe dif
fered from Chauncey F. Black regarding
the applicability of the Australian system
of voting in Pennsylvania, holding that it
conflicted with the constitutional provision
in this State that voters and their votes
should be registered and numbered, his
Honor was asked regarding the matter yes
terdav. He replied that someone must be
mistaken, as lie not only never held so, but
considered the ballot secret at present, if a
voter chose to make it so, ai it was a penal
offense for an election officer to disclose how
anyone voted save where it became neces
sary in a legal investigation.
Judge Stowe said fie knew of no reason
why the Australian system would not work
well, or something to that effect.
