Well-Known Places Run the Gauntlet
Significant Queries.
At the afternoon session the crowd out
side of the bar was so great that it could not
be kept very quiet, and not one of them
could hear what the applicants said. Judge
Magee was seven minutes late, and Judge
Ewing eight.
Jacob Keller was called without delay.
He deposited his silk hat on the table in
lront of the bench and held up bis baud. He
described his house on Smithfield street,
next to the Methodist Episcopal Church.
Judge Ewing remarked that Mr. Keller had
never pretended to keep anything except a
Baloon, and asked what he proposed to do
now. Mr. Keller said that he intended to keep
a first-class restaurant, located on the first floor
in tho rear of the bar. Judge Ewing told Mr.
Keller that he was refused in 1ES9 because he
had a saloon only.
Said the Judge: "If you are licensed you must
be careful not to let men get drunk. As to
your character, there is no need of any indorse
ments. Men like you are too few."
Pius P. Keller, son of the preceding, asked
for a. lin-nse for No. 81 Fifth avenue, next door
to the Opera House, whero he kept a saloon
aud restaurant In 1SSS. He hat owned the
building since 1SS3. and nobody is interested
with him. During the past year he has been
idle.
IT TTOULDN'T PAY HIM.
Judge Ewing said: "Had you kept up the
restaurant business during the past year, and
shown that that was your business rather than
liquor sellmc, you would stand better to-day."
Mr. Keller Slid that a restaurant alone would
not pay him. He had therefore leased the
premises for a shootins gallery.
Charles Klttner. who keeps an old and wcll
. known saloon and eating house at No. CC6
Liberty street, came up again. Judge Ewing
said:
"You have had license for two years?"
"Yes. sir."
"Have you in that time obeyed the law?"
"Yes. sir."
"You have had no trouble whatever?"
"No. sir."
"Before that you were a little disposed to
fightthe restrictions of the law. Since, I Enow
nothing to the contrary."
John Kessler. No. C37 Smithfield street, was
closed up in lfcSO. and asks to reopen. During
the year he has been in bad health, but his son
kept up the restaurant. Mr. Kessler has been
in the business of keepingpublic house for 32
years. He was in the habit of fcedingfrom 100
to lou people uanv. jnuge r-wingsaiu mai in
1SS8 Mr. Kessler was not careful about his cus
tomers. 'You are an applicant for a wholesale
license?"
"Yes, Your Honor; I have a big stock on
band and I have to sell it somehow."
"Well, I guess those who ask for both kinds
will be held until we get entirely through.
Then -we will know better how to distribute
them."
Lenz &. KlPinschmidt, at the corner of Wood
street aud Sixth avenue, who have a bar and
lunch room on the first floor and a dining room
upstairs, were not kept long. They averred
that they were able to accommodate all the
people who visited their place.

at retail and wholesale at No. 110 Smithfield
street Ho was not naturalized until one year
after he began the liquor business.
David Lauber, the manager of "Newell's,"
No. 101 Fifth avenue, was called. Judge
Ewing thoucht it odd that Mr. Lauber should
have a bar, and Mr. Abel, running a restaurant
in the basement, have no license. Judge
Ewing asked:
"Is anybody else interested in the profits of
j our place ?"
"No. sir."
"You have it alone I"
"YeS sir."
"This is Newell's place 7"
,-Ycs, sir."
Judge Macee "There is some complaint of
men obstructing the sidewalk in front of your
place."
"There is a narrow walk and the Opera
House and bands playing across the street at
tract crowds alone there, but we keep the side
walk as clear as possible."
George N. Mashey. w hose bar is at No. 82 and
restaurant at No. S3 Fifth avenue, was not
worried with many questions.
Gnsrav B. Mihm asks for a license for No.
62S Smithfield street. Until a year ago he kept
on the opposite side of the street. He took the
new premises on February 1 and is feeding
about 40 persons dally. J udge Ewing expressed

place it might crowd the eating quarters very
seriously.

creased. Judge Magee said:
"if you set a license your eating business
may fall on! again."
Mr. Nulte smiled and said: "I have invested

raised here, and never robbed anvlinrir "
James Piatt, proprietor of the saloon at the
corner of Smithfield and Diamond, asked for

WANTS TO LEAVE TOUNGSTOWN.
Charles M. Spencer asked for No. 52 Fifth
avenue, which is in Sturgeon's alley, in the rear
of the hank building. He kept there for a
cumber of years until 18S9.
Judge Ewing "How w ido is Sturgeon alley?"
"It must be seven feet."

"Oh. no. It is ide at my place, but is a little
narrower in front at the street."
Mr. Spencer said he would keep a hotel back

He said be was.
William J. Wricbt, Nos. 2 and 4 Masters

said: "Tiro years ago we inquired pretty fully
into Mr. Woog. I guess we don't need to take
time now."
William Witherow, of the Hotel Duquesne,
was kept only long enough to say that his
partners are James P. Witherow ana Thomas
Dugan.
Matt Weiss, proprietor of the saloon and res
taurant at No. 432 Smithfield street, was asked
only a few unimportant questions. This fet
tled the work of the day. It was only 3:15
o'clock.
The day'B work had been very rapid. An ad
journment was taken till 9.30 this morning, the
room was cleared, and the Judges spent an
hour and a half reviewing their notes of the
day.
TVHY HOLBROOK RESIGNED.
Aliened Interference With His Manncc
raent GcorceGrlscomiNartSaceeod Hol-
brook Chiet Engineer Kelly May be
the Next Man to Step Out.
Considerable speculation was indulged in
by the railroad men yesterday as to the cause
of the resignation of Elliott Holbrook,
General Snperintendent of the Pittsbnrg
and Lake Erie Eailroad. Mr. Holbrook
has been with the company for three years,
and it has been known that there was fric
tion at different times between he and Presi
dent Newell.
About two weeks ago Chief Engineer
Kelly, of the road, by order of Mr. Hol
brook, sent out circulars to the effect that
Supervisor Cochrane and his assistant had
resigned their positions. Mr. Cochrane re
ceived one of the circulars, and as he had no
intimation of being removed and certainly
no intention of resigning, be politely wrote
to Mr. Holbrook that there must be some
mistake. The circulars were signed by
Chief Engineer Kelly and had the approval
of Mr. Holbrook. In objecting to his being
removed, Mr. Cochrane also wrote to James
M. Bailey, assistant to President Newell.
Mr. Bailey is acting as President of the
road in the absence of Mr. Newell in Eu
rope, and as the company has no Vice
President, he has been given the authority
of the chief executive officer. Not wishing
to have a row on his hands, Mr. Bailey
wrote to Mr. Holbrook, stating that it was
the wish of Mr. Newell that no changes be
made until the latter returns home.
Mr. Holbrook has made a record for him
self for acting promptly. Thinking the in
terference on the part of Mr. Bailey to be
nnwarranted,'he immediately told the latter
so. As this was not the first case of the
kind, Mr. Holbrook wrote his resignation.
Until Mr. Newell returns no action can be
taken on it. The President of the road will
not be home for a month yet. It was also
stated yesterday that Mr. Kelly would fol
low Mr. Holbrook if the latter's resignation
was accepted, i.he former came here from
the "Nypano" road while Mr. Holbrook
came from the New York andNewElgland.
The rumor could not be traced to any
official source.but it was stated on the streets
that George S. Griscom late proprietor of the
Monongahela House and Vice President of
the Pittsbnrg, Chartiers and Youghiogheny
road, would be Mr. Holbrook's successor.
Mr. Griscom was Divisou Superintendent of
the Pittsburg, Ft. Wayne and Chicago road
when J. D. Layng was running it He has
held other railroad positions and it is said
would make a good man in the place. He
is cow in the wire business, being a joint
partner in a new mill in the suburbs
of Chicago. The other partners are Youngs
town parties.
Mr. Kelly was formerly with the Pitts
burl and Western road. An effort was
made to sec him yesterday and ascertain if
he contemplated resigning. He could not
be found in his office, being ont on the road
at the time.
SOON TO BE RUNNING.
A Bitter Fight In IlarrUbnrc Over the Post
officit nnd Schenley Fnrk Electric Rail
wny Tho Dnqnenne Company Not An
tagonistic Iloiv It Stands.
The projectors of the Postoffice and Schen
ley Park Electric Hallway say that all is
plain sailing now. They had a rattling
fight in Harrisburg, the Attorney General
having filed objections, but not, as one of
the corporators says, on behalf of the Du
quesne Traction Company.
It appears that there was some politics
mixed in the business, but the political in
fluence opposing was not that generally
supposed. The corporator mentioned the
names of Senator Quay and the Elkins
Widener combination, but said they found
as the contest progressed that they hadn't
a sound leg to stand upon, as the road, he
said, was shown to be neither a pincher nor
a parallelled
C. L. Magee was asked for an expression
of opinion in regard to the new road. He
replied that lie was not opposed to it, and
then relapsed into silence and was oblivious
to further inquiry.
C. F. Jahn, one of the corporators, who
took a flying trip to Harrisburg during the
fight, said: "The road is a certainty, and
will be built with all possible speed. There
can be no fatal objection urged, as it is a
necessity along most of the route traversed.
It is assured of dividend-paying patronage
from the start, and before we have
met to organize we have assur
ances that more people waut
stock than can be accommodated at the
Btart. "We have power to make extensions
nteach end of the line, and can run to
Wilkinsburg if we wish. We have no fear
of Councilmanic opposition."
The capital stock of the company is at
present 536,000, what it may eventually be
cannot at present be stated, but history
teaches that corporate stock generally swells
rather than shrinks, and those who fail to
get in-nt the start may subsequently get a
show.

BOTH CALLED DOWN,
Tlie Monongahela Presbytery
Belmkes Dr. Ewing, and
ADMONISHES DB. J.W.BEED
Dr. Ewing's Resignation as Pastor
Unanimously Accepted.
AN APPEAL T0AHIGBER TRIBUNAL
Yesterday afternoon, by a vote of 20 to 12,
the Monongahela Presbytery of the United
Presbyterian Church, decided to censure Dr.
B. B. Ewing for marrying his deceased
wife's sister, and at the meeting in the even
ing it unanimously accepted his resignation
as pastor of the Sixth U. P. Church. Dr. J.
W. Reed, who performed the marriage cere
mony, acknowledged his wrong, and his
punishment will be an admonition not to do
such a thing again as long as the articles of
faith forbid such marriages.
The entire proceedings were characterized
with much seriousness and deep feeling.
In the discussion there was no ranting, no
tearing of the hair or flinging of the hands
wildly in the air.
COULDN'T SPOIL HIS SMILE.
The only man present who didn't seem to
be the least bit nervous was Dr. Beed. He
smiled throughout it alt, and even when
Dr. McLean hit the hardest, and every word
he uttered was a sledge-hammer blow
against the lawfulness of a man marrying
his sister-in-law, that pleasant smile never
deserted him, and his full face and rotund
figure were the pictures of contentment
The debate on both sides was devoid of all
bitterness, and the action of the Presbytery
was based on that cold devotion to duty that
lacks all sentiment, is so uninviting, and
yet that all men admire and strive to attain.
The vote as it stands is misleading. One
would imagine that the minority represented
Dr. Ewing s supporters, but in reality these
men favored a more severe sentence. Bev.
Littcll expressed their views when he moved
that as long as Dr. Ewing continues in his
present relations he be suspended from the
ministry and membership in the church, but
this motion was not carried.
APPEAL TO THE SYNOD.
As soon as the vote was announced Dr.
McLean took exception to it, as he had
given notice he wonld, and he declared his
intention to carry the case to the General
Synod for its review. The doctor said that
nothing in his life had grieved him so much
as this marriage. He had nothing person
ally against Dr. Ewing, but he claimed he
had violated a church law, and a public
rebuke did not help matters. If the mar
riage relation continued, the law was still
defied, and other men could exercise the
same privilege.
Kevs. u. Barclay, J. T. McCrory and J.
W. Wallace were appointed a committee to
put the case in shape to present to the Pres
bytery. Late in the afternoon they reported
in substance that as the Bev. Dr. Ewing
had appeared before them and acknowl
edged that he had disobeyed the law ot the
church in marrying his sister-in-law. Miss
Agnes Stephenson, and expressed sorrow in
offending against the church discipline,
they recommended that he be publicly re
buked, and that Dr. Beed, who had mar
ried them, receive the censure of admoni
tion. THE DEBATE BEGUN.
Mr. Barclay had scarcely finished read
ing the report when it was placed before
the body, and Dr. McLean was on his feet.
He is an old man with long, white hair, and
his form is still straight, though he leaned
on a cane, and sometimes when he wished
to emphasize his rem irks he brandished the
stick in the air. He is a forcible speaker.
and he at once assailed the marriage in the
following impressive language:
"I would rather a thousand times that
this had never happened. It has made my
heart bleed ever since 1 heard it, and if I
had known Dr. Ewing intended to marry
his present wife I would have advised him
strongly against it. But tbe deed has been
done, and we are here to face it. This is the
most important question that was ever pre
sented to this Presbytery. The rules of our
faith declare emphatically against such
marriages, and some time since, when u re
vision of this article was attempted before
tbe General Synod, it was voted down three
to one. The Parliament of England has
always declared against it, though tbe landed
aristocracy of that country has often tried in
Tain to have the law changed.
HE CROSSED THE OCEAN.
"So it stands there, and recently an En
glishman who married his sister-in-law had
to go to Canada to legalize the marriace.
The English law will recognize the judicial
acts of other countries, just as we will ac
cept a divorce granted outside of the State,
but that Englishman had to cross tbe At
lantic to have the ceremony performed,
"It is true our State law does not forbid
such alliances, but it draws tbe line very
closely when it comes to kindred. I claim
that death does not dissolve present rela
tions among the living, but it applies only
to the dead. If I should marry a widow
with four children and they learned to call
me father, and then my wife died, I would
still be a father to them. How ridiculous it
would be to say they were no longer mine.
Tne church has decided that such marriages
are not lawful, the English law is opposed
to them, and the uioie supports this posi
tion. NO ADOPTION FOB HIM.
"There can be no halfway business, and I
now give notice that if this report is adopted
I will carry the case to a higher court. The
fact remains that a law of the church has
been violated, and it continues to be so as
long as the relation continues, or until the
rule is annulled. They can't-wink at it
with a rebuke, and we may as well face the
issue now frankly, as we will have to do
later on."
The Bev. Mr. Knox then arose and said:
"I won't vote, never would, never can vote
for tbe adoption of this report. It is a most
fearful blunder. I will place no stigma on
Dr. Ewing or Dr. Beed, men for whom I
have always had the highest regard and ad
miration. Their ability, piety and devotion
to duty are unquestioned. They are orna
ments to the church. Both men feel that
they are right, and the word of God does not
sanction this law of the church.
HIS STIKBING APPEAL.
Then suddenly becoming impassioned,
Bev. Knox exclaimed: "What crucified
Christ? The law of the church, not of God.
I won't crucify these men. They have dis
obeyed an article of faith, it is true, but
they have not violated any of God's ordi
nances. I repeat again that this report is a
fearful blunder, and no such compromise
will be sustained."
Bev. J. T. McCrory then took the floor,
and explained for the committee that a dif
ference of opinion prevailed among church
men on the point in question, but as a
church law had been broken some punish
ment was necessary, and they had decided
that a public rebuke would answer the pur
pose. He felt sure that the public would
sanction this verdict, and the church would
not be compromised. The man -who teels
that he is right and goes ahead in defiance
of human lulings is not to be classed
in the same category with him who willully
does wrong.
A BIGHT TO CONVICTIONS.
The punishment in each case should be
radically different He held that a man
had a perfect right to his own convictions,
and if the articles of faith were to be the
strict rule of conduct and never subject to
change from subsequent light received, then
be felt sure that any number of denomina
tions wonld be the outcome of such a prin
ciple. Should a man be condemned for not
believing in all the church laws when he is
convinced that some are not needed, but
some of his fellows happen to differ from
him?
Rev. D. S. Little felt that suspension as
long as the married relation was maintained
was the only remedy. He said that every
minister in the church was under oath to
sustain the rules of faith and be guided by
them. Dr. Ewing had disobeyed a very
vital one. He was not vindictive, nnd had
no feeling against the Doctor, but this was
the light in which he viewed the marriage.
He agreed with the Bev. Mr. McCrory that
a man had a right to think for himself, but
it was well to be governed by the opinions
or the majority in such serious matters.
A STRONG PLEA FOR MEECT.
Bev. Barclay appealed to bis brethren not
to act like Shvlock in exacting? tbe Bound
of flesh and the last drop of blood, but to
temper their actions with mercy. Alter a
lively tilt between Dr. McLean and the
Moderator, who claimed that the old gentle
man .had already spoken twice, but the
Chair would indulge him, which remark
the doctor warmly resented, the vote was
taken.
At the evening meeting Dr. McLean
thought it was best for the interests of the
Sixth U. P. Church that Dr. Ewing's resig
nation should be acceptedKnd he made a
motion accordingly. The commission ap
pointed by the church to represent them,
Messrs. Dempster, Dick, Frazer, Aimstrong
and Monroe, advised a separation for the
good of people and preacher. All these
gentlemen made short speeches, in which
thev professed warm friendship for Dr.
Ewing, and regretted that the event had
occurred to mar their happv relations. On
the advice of the commission the motion
was passed without a dissenting voice, and
the Bev. J. W. Wallace was appointed to
preach in the church next Sunday and de
clare the pulpit vacant.
Tbe other business transacted was hearing
a lot of reports and the licensing of Mr.
Douthell to preach. The young man met
with considerable opposition forawhile, be
cause he had not fulfilled all the church re
quirements, but there were extenuating cir
cumstances, and he was finally admitted.
A CLDB-STABLE IDEA.
An Equine Palace to be Hullt By Sbndyslde
nnd Bellefleld Horse Owners Scope of
the Latest Scheme and Its Probable Out
come. A club-stable project is on foot. A num
ber of people, one of whom is said to be
Thomas H. McGowen, and another Adams,
whose present home is toward the rising
sun somewhere, have about decided to buy
the Bowers property, at the corner of Fifth
avenne and Boundary street, or Moorhead's
lane, J. T. Bowers is said to be a man who
knows all about the project, but he wasn't
at home when called on. A gentleman who
was at home, however, said he understood
that the object of a number of horse lovers,
and who owned good horses, was to put up
a palatial stable, and have the surroundings
to correspond. Horses will be stabled on
the ground floor, vehicles kept on the sec
ond, and there will be dining room, pirlor
and sleeping chambers on the third floor,
for the accommodation of coachmen.
Whether part of the design is to back up
the elopement business or not, is not stated.
But it is intended that coachmen shall
live over the club stable. This will be con
nected by telephone with the residences of
the different proprietors so that they can
summon their carriaees whenever they want
them. The local projectors live in the vi
cinity in Shadyside and Bellefield.
The Bowers property, which is said to be
the site chosen, is something over an acre in
extent, and it is said its price is $35,000.
For some reason no one found seemed desi
rous of giving definite information. The
scheme possesses some manifest advantages,
not the least of which is that valuable
horses, in case of sickness, wonld have all
the advantages they at present find in livery
stables prompt attention which they are
not likely to get while the coachman is
asleep. The expense of maintenance would
also be cheaper than boarding at livery sta
bles. A TALK ON ELECTRICITY.
Mr. Stlllwell Shows How All the Dnngors
Cnn be Avoided.
At the meeting of the Engineers' Society
last evening a committee ot five was ap
pointed to co-operate with the Mining En
gineers' Society to assist in entertaining the
visiting members of the Iron nnd Steel In
stitute of Great Britain next September.
A petition requesting Allegheny Councils
to pass an ordinance granting the United
States Government a strip of land for an
abutment for tbe Herr's Island dam was
read, and presented to the members for sign
ing. A number of the members attached
signatures.
Mr. L. B. Stillwell read an interesting
paper on the distribution of light and power
by electricity. He stated that statistics com
piled by the secretary ot the National Elec
tric Light Association in 1889 showed that
there was in use then in the country 237,017
arc lights, 2,704,763 incandescent lights and
109 street railways operated by electricity,
covering 579 miles of railway. These rep
resented a capital of 275,000,000 and a
strength equal to 500,000 horse power.
The great question, he said, was the utili
zation of electricity without serious danger.
The greatast danger was from the careless
ness of employes and the desire of local
companies for large profits resulting in im
perfect insulation of the wires.

Allegheny nnd Arrested,
Officer Buckley, of Allegheny, was ap
prised yesterday of a severe fight that had
taken place" on a steamboat, on its way up

The officer located the man who did the

AFTER WYMAN'S WOOL
I. E. Stayton Will Contest His Elec
tion in the Courts, To-Day.
A COPY OP THE BILL TO BE FILED.
He Says He Will Show 608 Illegal Totes
Cast in One Ward Alone.
WHAT TBE POLITICIANS SAY OF IT
If there is any possible way of doing it, I.
B. Stayton, the late Democratic nominee
for Mayor of Allegheny City, says he will
prevent James G. Wyinaa from taking the
office when Mayor Pearson's term is up.
He claims he can show that Wyman was
illegally declared elected, and to-day he
will take the matter into court. His attor
ney says they can show 608 illegal Wyman
votes in one ward alone. If they can do as
well in other wards, he says that Stayton
will have a majoritj instead of Wyman.
To-day Attorney William J. Brennen
will go into court with the following bill:
To the Honorable, the Judges of tho Court or
Quarter Sessions of the Peace of the county of
Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania:
Tho petition of the undersigned qualified
electors of tho city of Allegheny, county and
State aforesaid, respectfully represents: That
your petitioners, being at best 25 qualified elec
tors of said city of Allegheny, who voted at the
election held in the said city of Allegheny,
on the ISth day of February, A. D. 1800, for
the election of a Mayor for the said
city of Allegheny, aver and say, that the elec
tion officers who held the election in the said
city on the said day have certified and returned
to court, which said court, after a computation
of said returns, have certified that at said elec
tion James G. Wvuianhad 0.501 votes Tor the
office of Mavor of the said city of Allegheny,
and that I. R. Stayton had 5,630 votes for the
office of Major of the said city, wherehv it was
made to appear that the said James G. Wyman
was elected Mayor ot the said city of Alle
gheny. THE EETUBNS ATTACKED.
That your petitioners complain and say that
the returns made as aforesaid are incorrect and
untrue; that the saia L B. Stayton, in truth
and in fact, received a majority of the legal
votes polled and cast at said election by the
qualified electors of the several districts in the
several ward3 of said city of Allegheny, and
was, in truth and in fact, duly elected to the
office of Mayor of the said city, instead of the
said James G. Wyman.
Your petitioners further aver and set forth
the following cause of complaint, and show
that the said election was undue and illegal for
tho following reasons, to-wit:
First That in tho First election district of
the First ward tho election officers received
the votes and accepted and counted tbe ballots
for the said James G. Wyman. (Hero
are inserted the names of the illegal voters)
and "other persons whose names did not appear
on the registry of voters of said district of said
ward, without taking, receiving, filing and re
turning affidavits and having them severally
subscribed thereto, which were written or
partly written and partly priuted, or having
produced a witness to make an affidavit and
subscribe thereto, which was written or partly
written and partly printed, as required bylaw
in such case made and provided.
That the election officers of said First election
district of said First ward received the votes,
counted the ballots for the said James G.
Wyman. of and other persons who
were not then Ie-ally entitled to vote at said
election because they had not'severally paid a
State or county tax within two years preceding
hue Dtiu cieuuun wuicu was assossea as least
two months and paid at least one month before
the said election, as required by law.
That the satd election officers of the said
First election district of said First ward of said
city received and counted at said election for
tho said James G. Wyman for Mayor as afore
said, the votes of who wero not
legally entitled tovoto because they were not
citizens of the United States, and of
and other persons who voted illegally and
fraudulently.
A PEKTTT BIO JOB.
Then follows the 70 districts of the city,
the phraseology of which is a repetition of
the First district of the First ward. The
bill covers about 95 pages of type-written
copy and wonld take several hours to read.
Mr. Brennen worked on it all night, and
will insert the names of the illegal voters
thismorniug as soon as they are lurnished
to him. For the past two or three weeks
the attorney has had men out working up
the case against Wyman, and to a Dis
rATCii reporter last night he said:
"We propose to show the court that the
election boards were incompetent and negli
gent in their counts. We do not say that
any money was used to purchase votes, but
we will show that there were hundreds of
people who voted for Wyman did so ille
gally. In one ward alone we have a record
of 608 illegal votes for the Republican can
didate. The matter has been worked up
carefully, and we will show that Stayton is
legally entitled to election."
STAYTON NOT ASLEEP.
Candidate I. B. Stayton has not been
asleep. He found that the Bepublican and
Democratic tickets were dissimilar in size.
Late in the afternoon on election day
a printing press turned out some
Bmoothboro tickets, which, although
Democratic in text, appeared, when folded,
to be the exact counterpart of the Bepub
lican ticket. The allegation is that the
smoothbores never 'Here unfolded in the
count, but passed as Bepublican tickets.
-The recount, it is said, will whipsaw
Wyman's majority of 871 in a very decisive
manner if there should prove to be one
tenth as many smoothbores as there seems
to be now ample evidence to cover.
There are said to be affidavits in Stayton's
hands from people who swear they saw Mr.
Wyman draw 55,000 in $5 bills from a bank
on Federal street in the early afternoon of
the day before election, and numer
ous sworn statements from citizens who saw
Mr. Wyman handing out some of the afore
said 53 at or near divers polling places in
the course of election day.
TIPS TKOM A FOEMEK CANDIDATE.
Hon. Morrison Foster has given Mr.
Stayton a detailed statement in regard to a
memorable contest several years ago. Mr.
Foster states as his deliberate conviction,
based on that celebrated contest, that two
fifths of the votes cast in Allegheny City
elections will not stand the light of d.iy.
Mr. Wyman has announced around City
Hall that everybody who worked aeainst
him in the recent election would be made to
smell brimstone when he got in. This has
had an eifect little anticipated by the Mayor
elect. It has arrayed as Mr. Stayton's
most active supporters in the com hit: con
test the most adroit politicians of the North
side. It has now become a question of po
litical self-preservation with James Hunter,
Health Officer Bradley, and a host of others.
There are other interesting complications.
Hon. James S. Butau worked actively for
Mr.W yman.and is said to have given 1,000
to help the cause along. In return for these
practical evidences of friendship, Mr.
Wyman, it.is claimed, is under contract to
deliver divers delegates to Mr. Butan in
the Forty-second Senatorial Convention.
The friends of Messrs. Speer, Neeb and Har
bison are whetting- political meataxes, and
arc actively at work to down the new North
side Mayor.
The real truth is that Wyman's friends
are aghast' at the red-hot opposition that
has sprrng up, and the utmost excitement
prevails in Korthside political circles.
A Demand for 810,000 Damages.
Sophia Lowry yesterday entered suit
against the Pittsburg, Allegheny and Man
chester Bailway Company for 510,000 dam
ages. She states that on February 10 she

Select Conacil Passes Some Ordinances
Which Are Ready for Indorsement by
Common Council on Friday No Time
Wnsteil in tbe War of Dolus It.
A special meeting of Select Council was
called yesterday afternoon for the considera
tion of new or unfinished business. The
Committee on Corporations had met early
in the afternoon and recommended several
street railway ordinances, which were taken
up first in order.
A. C. Bobertson, of the Thirty-fifth ward,
presented an ordinance granting to Larimer
and Lincoln Street Bailway Company the
right to use certain streets and highways,
and moved that the rules be suspended and
the ordinance be put upon first, second and
third readings and final passage.
Before the motion was adopted Mr. Keat
ing objected on the ground that the right of
way had already been granted over these
streets.
The ordinance was defeated by a vote of
22 noes to 2 ayes, Messrs. Doyle and Bob
ertson voting in the affirmative.
Mr. Bobertson next presented an ordi
nance granting certain rights to the Ells
worth Street Bailway Company.
Mr. Warmcastle moved to take up two
other street railway ordinances in connec
tion with this one and act upon all at once,
to save time. The call of tbe roll on the
ordinance resulted in a vote of 22 noes to 1
aye. Mr. Bobertson voting affirmatively.
The ordinances granting to the Kegley
Avenue and Eonp Street Bailway Company
and tbe Central Transit Bailway Company
were then taken up separately and disposed
of, the vote on the former being 22 ijoes to 1
aye, and on the latter 25 noes to 1 aye, Mr.
Bobertson voting affirmatively each time.
An ordinance granting to the Pittsburg
and Birmingham Traction Company the
right to enter upon and occupy certain
streets, to lease the property and franchises
of certain passenger and street railway
companies and to construct and operate, by
means of electricity or otherwise,"passenge"r
and street railways, was then taken up and
adopted by a vote of 24 ayes to 1 no, Mr.
Braun voting in the negative.
Section 1 of this ordinance provides
that the Pittsburg and Birmingham Trac
tion Company shall have the right to use
and occupy all streets upon which the Pitts
burg and Birmingham Passenger Bailway
Company, the Southside Passenger Bailway
Company or the Pittsburg and Ormsby
Passenger Bailway Company now operate.
They shall have the rieht to construct and
maintain a system of cables or electrical
apparatus, with the necessary conduits or
overhead wires, for motive power, and to
chancre its system when desired. Section
2 gives the company the right to lease
the property or franchises of the passenger
railway companies mentioned or to
contract with them for a supply
of power. The third section
allows the company to contract with
other companies for a supply ot power, and
Section 4 binds the companv to the
general ordinance relating to street railways
ior tne puoiic saietv and convenience.
Section 5 binds the company to expend in
good faith, when its tracks are relaid and
within two years from the date of the
passage of the ordinance, not less than
312,500 per mile in paving with block stone
each mile of single track of the street rail
ways mentioned in the ordinance. Section
6 authorizes the Public Works Department
to employ persons to supervise the work of
construction ot the railway at the company's
expense, and relieves the city of damages to
persons or property by any accident that
may occur during the progress of the work.
Before adjourning Select Council ap
proved the contracts made by the Depart
ment of Awards, and adopted a resolution
to pay several small sums to city employes
due from last year, but unpaid on account
of the deficiency in city finances.
WITHDREW THE SUIT.
Tbe Darner Caso Against the metropolitan
Insurance Company Amicably Settled
Shortly before the hour fixed yesterday
for a hearing before Alderman Burns in the
civil action brought against the managers of
the local office of the Metropolitan Life In
surance Company by James and Annie Dnr
ney, tbe prosecutors appeared and withdrew
the suit, stating that an amicable settlement
had been made. The suit was an action to
recover certain small sums of money alleged
to have been paid to tbe sub-agents
of the insurance companv, the same being
collected from the plaintiffs with fraudulent
interest.

GETTING INTO SHAPE.
A Snperintendent and an Engineer
Chosen for Carnegie Hail.
NOT A PROTRACTKD CONTEST.
Messrs. Waddington and Fisher Get There
With Little Trouble.
THE G. i. R. COMES UP WITH ITS $100
There may be annoying delays as to the
Free Library management in Allegbeny.but
the City Property Committee is moving
right along with the matter of getting the
entire building in shape for public occu
pancy. The superintendent and engineer
were chosen by the committee last evening,
in the persons of Benjamin Waddington
and George Fisher, respectively.
There was a big lobby of friends of the
several candidates, it being evident that the
matter was one of public interest. Chair
man Ammon called the committee to order,
and Clerk Dilworth handed in a formidable
looking package of applications, dnly in
dorsed, for the several positions. There were
expressions of dismay when it was proposed
that all tbe applications be read, but Mr.
Edwin Lare came to the rescue with a
motion that the choice of superintendent
and engineer be immediately proceeded
with, and that petitions for tbe positions be
referred to a sub-committee of fiye, with
power to designate to the full committee
such other employes as might be necessary.
WADING THROUGH r.EASIS.
Mr. Dahlinger then moved that the
Editions for superintendent and engineer
e read. Mr. Lare was selected to do the
reading, and he waded patiently through
reams of foolscap interlarded with high
flown allusions to the committee and the
great responsibilities so anxiously desired
to be assumed.
Benjamin Waddington's petition for su
perintendent was a very strong one, and was
well backed by responsible names. William
Bentley also made a good sbowinc in the
matter of recommendations. A Mr. Angell
tbe same who wrote to Mayor Pearson
asking for the position by virtue of residing
on Jackson street blew his own trumpet to
the extent of at least a column ot self-laudatory
typewrite. Then Clerk Dilworth called
tbe roll, and Mr. Waddington received 14
votes, Mr. Bentley 1 and Mr. Angell none.
Mr. Waddington "was declared elected. Mr.
Angell's petition stated that he was an out-and-out
Bepubliaan, but it did not seem to
count.
There were three names voted upon for
engineer, a position tbe salary of which is
not fixed as yet. George Fisher received 14
votes to Mr.Michael's 1, and was declared
elected.
THE CHOSEN CALLED FOE.
Messrs. Waddington and Fisher were
called before the committee and asked how
soon they could take charge of the .building,
there being concerts on Thursday and
Friday nights. They wanted time to ar
range their business, and Mr. Dahlinger
suggested that the employes now there be
requested to remain until April 1. Mr.
Hunter feared that the result ot the election
might cause the hold-over employes to
levant. Finally, the sub-committee on
renting the hall was charged with the duty
of retaining the old employes long enough
to instruct the new men.
Mr. Waddington is an ex-member of
Councils from the Second ward, and is 60
years of age. He has lived 40 vears in the
ward, and is now entering his 39th year of
service in the Fort Wayne shop as foreman
of the running-gear department. He is of
pleasing appearance, and is said to be a
most careful and conservative citizen. His
duties will be to take charge of the entire
bnilding and direct all the minor employes.
George Fisher is now in the employ of the
Airbrake Works, and is credited with being
a very capable man. He became a candi
date tor the position through not desiring to
move to Wilmerding.
AN ECONOMICAL MEASUEE.
Mr. Edwin Lare's resolution providing
that hereafter no bills of any nature could
be considered in committee without first
being probated by the City Controller, was
read to the committee, having passed both
branches of Council. Some desultory com
ment bronght to light the fact that a large
saving might be reasonably expected by
reason of the operation of the resolution.
The application of the Allegheny Musical
Society for the use of the small lecture room
for rehearsal purposes, and a similar request
from the Handel and Haydn Society, was
laid over in the belief that the committee
had no right to give the privilege.
Hon. Morrison Foster's resolution in re
gard to the choice of a thoroughly equipped
librarian for the Free Library, as passed by
the Chamber of Commerce, was read and
placed on file.
The G. A. B. came forward and offered to
pay 5100 lor the hall, inasmuch as it could
not be had for nothing. A number of other
applications were considered in the sub
committee. "Love thy neighbor as thyself." Give

SETTLED ALL DIFFICULTIES.
A Compromise Reached by the Day Nnraery
ninnnsers Rod Sterrett Union It Takes
31.000 to Ileal tho Differences AH
Donn for Harmony.
The little building occupied by the Alle
gheny Day Kursery, on Korth avenne, was
the scene of a long continued and heated
debate yesterday afternoon, the result of
which was that the difficulties existing
between the Sterrett Union and the Board
of Managers of the Allegheny Day
Nursery were settled by the conference of
the two committee! which had been ap
pointed at a meeting of the board on
Monday. Mrs. Samuel Sloan, Mrs. James
Arthurs and Miss Mary Stevenson repre
sented the Sterrett Union, and Mrs. U. W.
Stevenson, Mrs. G. B. Hill and Mrs.
Charles Kiefer the board, at the confer
ence. The proposition which had been sub
mitted from the Sterrett Union to the board
on Monday, offering the board $500, and
that the separation should take place April
1, was considered at length. An adjust
ment of the difficulties were at last
brought about by a compromise in
regard to the money consideration.
The committee representing the board
asked for 51,000 in place of ?500,
and the request was granted on condition
that all the property of the nursery, and the
nursery itself, be given up to the union. The
committees then adjourned and reported to
the Sterrett Union the action which had
been taken. The members of the union ac
cepted the conditions, but held that it was
done only for the sake of harmony and
friendship, and that everything they did for
the hoard was a concession in the spirit of
peace, and not in the belief that the board
was entitled to it. as the constitution of the
Day Nursery shows that the Board of Man
agers is responsible to Sterrett Union for all
report?, and must be guided by instructions
from the union.
The board will call a special meeting soon,
and a committee will be appointed to select
a site for an independent nursery.
