Possible Outcomo of tlio Pro posed Window Combine. SITES ALEEADY OFEERED. The Largest Glass Factory in the World is Contemplated. EEMOYING THE SOUTflSIDE WORKS As a general thins the public has been inclined to look askance at any new agita tion regarding the combination of window glass manufacturers known as the Pittsburg "Window Glass Company. Little credence has been giTen to reports of what they would do, and until Tery recently it was thought that the scheme would fall through owing to seTcral hitches in fixing the value of some of the plants. The unprecedented demand for window glass during the winter months, which kept the manufacturers busy regardless of com petition, is now about past. The prospect for another dull season and sharp competi tion has caused the manufacturers to again take up the pet scheme of amalgamation. "Whether the combine will finally be a "sure go" is not certain, but it is stated that the outlook is very favorable in that direction, and already "considerable planning has been done tor the future. As has been before printed, the objects of the company, as given out, is to cut down the expenses of operation, that the city houses may compete with those outside, which have free gas and other advantages. This, however, is only a glance at the one of the possibilities. Another is thatall the factories on ihe Southside may be given up, and the company build one big factory out side of Pittsburg that would eclipse all others in output. GIVES IT WEIGHT. The sudden booms for glass towns and the quite certain exodus of the window glass lactones from the city to nuburban towns have given weight to this possible action of the combine. The matter has even gone so far that a number of real estate firms have presented plans for a glass town to the heads of the combine, with offers of free sites, gas and other inducements. Mr. C. O. Smith, of Abel, Smith & Co., the Secretary of the new company, was seen bT a Dispatch re porter in regard to the rumored plans of the operators. He said: "In the first place there is nothing definite in regard to the company's plans. Until things are further on toward a realization of the move nothing could be given you mat is definite. The company was formed to re duce the expenses of operating by amalga mation the interests of the firms in different departments where money conld be thus saved. Behind this the object is to compete with factories which have free gas and were given land for sites, etc It was the intention to operate the factories at the same plants. The plants are valuable and the buildings are not available for other purposes. Of course, we cannot tell what will be done. If it was found that it would be better for the com pany and the market demanded such a move, then the company might think of Dnildmg a big factory. "If the plants here were disposed of, then the natural inclination would be to locate the new factory out of the city, where gas could be had cheaper. The sites of the houses are very valuable, outside of a man ufacturing view of it. It would be-impossible to say when they would be in the mar ket, or when they would be sold; in perhaps three months or perhaps ten years, for all that is known. XOT I2T COSIM.ETE SHAPE. "The whole thing is not in a shape to talk about. It is impossible to tell what may or may not be done; it will all depend on many things. I already have several let ters on my desk from real estate men in regard to a site, but no action at all has been taken in that direction. The question has not been considered yet." It was incidentally learned by the reporter that one of the communications spoken of by Mr. Smith was in regard to a tract of land lying on the same side of the Pennsyl vania Railroad as Jeannette and between the latter place and Greensburg. Campbell & Co. were stated to be the agents for the tract. Later Mr. Veidman, a member of the latter firm, was seen, and said it was true that they had made overtures to the combine regarding the tract mentioned, but as yet nothing had been done. The propo sition is to build a town. The manufactur ers will be given free sites and free gas, or will be given stock in the gas company. The 400 acres will be divided into lots and the manufacturing plants will be given a pro rata share of them as an extra induce ment. If the combine should build a factory it will be a mammoth one, and the town would be a competitor of Jeannette and the new town of Charleroi. AKOTHEE PARK ORNAMENT. The Art Gnllery Branch of the Library Located In Schenley Park. Councilman B. B. Carnaban said yester day, regarding the report of having the main library building in Schenley Park, that Mr. Carnegie had expressed no prefer ence except as far as the art gallery is con cerned. There has been no meeting of the Library Board of Trustees since the one for organization, and nothing has been done yet as to a site, and nothing can be done, he said, until the plans and specifications for the building, as well as the surroundings, are considered. Thcsemay be very much changed by the donation of property by citizens, or the discussion and determina tion of what ground shall be purchased by the trustees. It is generally thought that the art gallerv will be located in Schenley Park, according to Mr. Carnahau's idea of Mr. Carnegie's intentions, the idea being taken frcin the art mnseum in LMen Park, Cincinnati, which was built from the stone of the old postoffice building, and is the finest exam pie of Corinthian architecture in the country. CARIKG FOE THE DESOLATE. The Filubnrc Bnrenn of Fire Remembers lis Indlnnapolla Friends. The members of the Department of Public Safety, yesterday made a shake purse of $396 for the widows and orphans of the sufferers by the Indianapolis disaster. The back of the draft carried the stipulation that the fund should only apply to the widows and children of those killed, the sufferers yet surviving not being in it. The action of the Pittsburg Fire Bureau in raising nearly $400 within about two hours for their fellow laborers' suffering relatives, is regarded as one of the most graceful acts of charity ever done, and telegrams of thanks were received last night from the Indianapolis officials, for the prompt action taken and the excellent example set. The Automatic Cable Urakr. One of the new cable trailer cars for the Pittsburg Traction Company arrived yester day. It will be attached to one of the old bob-tall cars which has been repaired and repainted. It will be run over the road to day. The automatic brake has also been placed on the two cars, and will be tested lor the first time. The Origin ofa Snlt to Forro a Settlement Hovr tho An.Irs of Two Publications Got Mixed Up A Queer Sort of Caso to Come Up To-Dnjr. A case comes up before Alderman Mc Masters to-day which, in some of its features, is unique. As it is related, "some time since, when H. V. Juergen was publishing the Light, which has since gone out without reference to Moses, J. P. Hanna turned over to him the printing of a paper called The I'aith of God, edited by Mr. John Morrow, a member of the society known as Divine Healers, or. as some call it, Faith Curers. The allegations are that the receipts for the Light fell short, and that Hanna used money gotten from Morrow to pay for the publication of TheFaith of God in floating the Light, and the matter ran along until, according to the story told, he owed Juer gen ?21G. A call was made on the latter, and he said the story was about straight. He said that Mr. Morrow's conduct had been unex ceptionable, but he didn't seem to take up with Mr. Banna's business views, and told a storv of Mr. Hanna's proposing a partner ship in which a matrimonial partnership was to be a cart, or it was at least sug gested, to aid in setting up a printing estab lishment worth 54.000 or $5,000. Mr. Juer gen also told of a suggestion to the effect that he should attend the meetings of the Divine Healers, in order to enlist their in terest more fully in the work of pushing The raith of God. CMr. Juergen did not, it is alleged, fall in with Mr. Hanna's views, and during their contention Mr. Morrow began to deal di rectly with Mr. Juergen. This led Mr. Hanna, according to the storv, to start a bnsiness in opposition to Mr. Juergen, and the outcome was a suit by the latter for the ?21G. Mr. Juergen says he has had no trouble with Morrow, and it appears that faith as newspaper capital was entirely satisfactory in results so far as he was concerned, at least. HE. GILLELAKD FILES HIS BOND And Will Assume Charge of the Allecheny Postnfflce March 31. John E. Gilleland, Allegheny's new post master, dispatched his bond to "Washington yesterday. In reply to an inquiry last evening be would not give the names of his bondsmen, bnt it is stated that H. M. Dun lap, James S. Kutan and George "W. Sna man were numbered among them. Mr. Gilleland will assume charge on March 31, or as soon as the quarterly report of the present inenmbent is completed. Mr. G. Clark, of the Fifth ward, was sworn in as his assistant yesterday. What other changes are to be made will not be given to the pub- lie until after Mr. Gilleland enters the office. He has 39 positions at his disposal, for which he has up to the present time a stack of petitions that would easily fill a good sized waste basket. Some of the older and most efficient mem bers of the present force will not be dis charged under any circumstances, says the new postmaster, who argues that when a man has served the Government long and faithfully he should be taken care of with out regard to politics or "influence." A DIPFLEL'.NCE OF OPINION. An Allegheny Boy Who Will Not Obey His mother's Commands. Joseph Shannon, a 13-year-old boy, was placed in the Allegheny locknD last night at the instance of his mother, who wants to have him sent to the House of Refuge. The bov claims that the cause of the trouble is that there is a difference of opinion between his mother and himselt on religions matters. He says he is a Protestant and wants to attend a public school, while his mother is a Catholic and wants him to go to one of the educational institutions belonging to that denomination. The case will be investi gated to-day. DEOPFiD DEAD IN A MILL. The Body of n. Victim of Ilenrt Disense Placed la the RIorcue. The Coroner's office last night was notified of the death of Carl Coldat who dropped dead at Brown's mill at 0:30 P. M. yester day. The body was taken to the morgne, and appears to be that of a man 38 or 40 years old, and from the appearance he W3S a laborer. The inquest will be held this morning, but the return anticipated will be death from heart disease. The deceased was a sin gle man and none of his relatives are known in Pittsburg, although, from his talk, he is supposed to have been a native of New York. AN UNLUCKY NUHBEE, No One Seems to Piny Acnlnst Thirteen With Any hucccso. Inspector McKelvey, of the Third police district, last night was severely bitten by a dog while raiding a poker playing institu tion corner of South Twenty-first and Sarah streets. The Inspector was, however, successful in capturing 12 players and the proprietor John Eichley, showing the customary ill fortune which betides any 13 men who sit at a table. TIIEI DIDN'T CARE FOR PARADES. A feoutholde Pair Forsnhe Home to Get Spliced on St. Patrick's Day. Frank "Woods and Lillie Gretton, of Brownstown, on the Southside, are said to have eloped on SL Patrick's Day, while their parents watched the parades. They were married in Maryland and have re turned home to receive the displeasures and subsequent forgiveness and blessings of the parents. It was a case of love at first sight. The pair will keep house on the Southside after April 1. WHAT PEOPLE ARE DOING. Some Who Travel, homo Who Do Not. and Others Who Talk. Coroner McDowell had as gnests yester day A. C. Lytle, Esq . of Altoona, the Grand Chief ot the Knights of the Golden Eagle, and Mr. Lewis E. Stilz. of Philadelphia, the Lieu tenant General of the Uniform Rank of the same order. The gentlemen are here to Insti tute a new castle ot the organization this evening. President M. V. McCracken, of the Louis ville. St. Louis and Texas road, was at tho An derson Hotel yesterdsy. He held a conference with William Semple about the latter's line in Ohio. It is possible both roads will be united, though neither gentleman would say anything. General Superintendent Joseph Wood, of the Pennsylvania Company, returned from his trip over the road last evening. He went as far as St. Louis. Up fays he found things in good order, and conld not speak of any im provements contemplated. A. Walter, superintendent of the Balti more and Ohio lines east ot the Ohio river, in spected the Wheeling division of the road jes terdai. He was accompanied Dv Superinten dent Patton and Chief Engineer Manning. George B. Thompson, an Atlanta glass manufacturer, passed tbroaghthe city jester- i day bonnJ West. He says the Southern flint glass and bottle manufacturers are doing a wonderful business. Newell Piatt, a son of James Piatt, came home from the Indiana State Normal Bchool last evening to spend his Easter vaca tion.

The Strike at divert Hay Extend to the Firm's Other Plants. WIRE MILLS TO EES0AIE OPERATIONS. A. M. Schwartz, special agent of the Car penters' Council of this district, called upon Vice President "William Martin, of the Fed eration of Labor, yesterday in regard to the publication of the statement alleged to have been made by him that the carpenters of this city and Allegheny would not strike for the eight-hour day od May 1. Mr. Schwartz emphatically stated that he had not furnished the information, and fur thermore the statement about the matter being finally settled was positively untrue and misleading. The information was published on the as sumption that Mr. Schwartz had furnished the information. As was stated in the article, there was an apparent conflict of opinion between the carpenters here and the General Secretary of the Brotherhood, P. J. Aicuuire. NOT POSITIVE ABOUT IT. A copy of The Dispatch was mailed Mr. McGuire by Mr. Martin yesterday and a reply is expected from him "within a few days. In regard to the matter Mr. Schwartz said: "I did not say positively that the mat ter had been settled. Less than a majority of the carpenters have voted upon the ques tion, and while it is apparent that the vote will be against the movement, no one can authoritively sav so. It may be that the carpenters in Pittsburg are against the movement, but until it is finally settled nothing should be said. There are" 27 local unions, representing about 4,300 men in this county, and those who have not voted have until April 1 to do so. "The vote now being taken is not on the eight-hour question alone. The latter isem bodied in the report of the Committee on Law, which contains the working rules, rate of wages to be paid and many other things adopted last spring. When the final meet ing is held we will then know where the carpenters stand on the eight-hour matter." MUCH TALK ABOUT IT. The publication of the statement th.it there would be no strike caused considerable talk among labor leaders yesterday. Many upiuiuns ub to us result or me general agita tion were expressed. One was to the effect that such a move would be disastrous to the cause. The agitati3n had worked the build ers and contractors up to the point where they were prepared for it. Another thing, the other trades in this city which would not be called upon to strike, were ready to fight for those who were. The machinery of the Federation of Labor is in such shape that 100,000 would flow into the treasury every six days to support the strikers. FOE A POSTAL TELEGRAPH. olaster Workman Itoss Asked to Secnre Signatures to Petitions. District Master Workman Boss of D. A. No. 3, Knights of Labor, yesterday, received a letter from the headquarters in Philadel phia, asking for petitions in regard to the postal telegraph scheme now before Con gress. In the notice Mr. Boss is asked to write the petitions addressed to the Senate and House of Bepresentative and have the secretaries of local assemblies pass them around for signatures on their meeting nights. The reason for not having printed petitions is that a written one has more effect. It is also requested that a special effort be made to get the signatures of merchants, bankers, ministers, and in fact everybody, outside the organization. The petitions must be mailed to Ralph Beau mont, Cnnirman National Legislative Com mittee, Knights of Labor, at Washington. The committee will make a record of the number of petitions and the number of names they contained handed to each Con gressman, and thus members will be in a position to better iudge astohowthey should vote when next Congressmen are candidates for office. It is also requested that the peti tions be sent to Congressmen Dalzell and Bayne with instructions to have hem pre sent letters backing up the petitions. This is the second time petitions of this kind have been requested. At the last session of Congress petitions were presented to the House Committee on Postoffice? and Post Boads, from Knights of Labor all over the country, asking for the establishment of a postal telegraph. Over 530,000 signatures were obtained to the petitions. The largest number from any one Congressional district was 7,174, from Schuylkill county, Pa. THE SITUATION CHANGES. Oliver Bros, it Phillips' Strike May Brine Out Five Thousand Men. The strike at Oliver Bros. & Phillips' South Tenth street mill is beginning to get exceedingly interesting. It looks as though it is not to be settled without considerable difficulty. There was the greatest change in the situation yesterday of any day since the strike was declared. A conference was held in the afternoon between the strikers and members of the firm. Just what the outcome of this con ference was the men refused to say, bnt it was evidently not very favorable to an am icable settlement of the trouble, as the forge department, in which 75 men are employed, closed down last night. It is stated on the authority of the strikers that unless the strike is settled before Mon day the Allegheny mill, the South Fif teenth street mill, the Standard Nut "Works and the South Thirteenth street steel mill will be closed. This will include over 5,000 men who will be thrown out of employ ment. Although everything was quiet around the mill yesterday and last night, the firm asked the police department for three officers, who will go on duty to-day, to pre vent any trouble that might arise. MIGHT BE LIRKLYS HILL. A Dcnl Closed for nn Iron Plnnt at West Newton by Pittsburgprs. James Carouthers, of West Newton, says the Pittsburg iron firm that desires a loca tion for a works on the river side opposite the West Newton Paper "Works, is not the only firm after a location there. Certain Pittsburg capitalists, who will build a big iron works, desire a location a little below the proposed site, and Mr. Carouthers has closed a deal with Mr. Bell, who represents them, by selling seven acres of this gronnd at $700 per acre. The same gentleman has obtained the Bobison farm of SO acres adjoining at $500 per acre. This ground fronts the river, and extends back to the Baltimore and Ohio Bailroad. The iron firm that has done the purchasing has no connection with the firm that has been buying property on the oppo site side of the river. A NEW BRICK PLANT. The Concern Will Be Located lathe Tlclnlty of Oakland. The Squirrel Hill Brick and Tile Com pany has been formed by Pittsburg capital ists. They will build a plant at Oakland. The machinery of the old Encaustic Tile Company, of McKeesport, has been pur chased. H. Collins, ntho formerly managed the works at EIrods, will be the manager and superintendent of the plant. Wire Mills to Resnmo Monday. All the wire mills in the country, which have been shut down for the past two weeks, STEIKEE'S SUDDEN DEATH. One of Oliver's Pnddlers Expired Suddenly Yesterday. John "Wcsterman, one of the puddlers of Oliver Bros. & Phillips' South Tenth street mill, who were ordered out on Wednesday to aid the striking bolt workers, died at his home in Beltzhoover borough yesterday morning. Mr. Westerman's death was quite sudden and unexpected. Custer Lodge, Amalgamated Association of Iron and Stell Workers, of which he is a member, held a meeting yesterday afternoon to make arrangements for attending the funeral Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock. They decided to attend the funeral in a body in company with Sovereign Lodge, the other body of striking workmen. The inter ment will take place in Southside Cemetery. SUPT. WARNER'S EEPORT. Ho Recommends the Employment of Con victs on the O'Harn Bond Three Per sons Sent to tho Workhouse 54Timcs Interesting Facts and Figures. Henry Warner, Superintendent of the Allegheny County Workhouse, has just is sued the twentieth annual report of the in stitution. It is an interesting work of 68 pages, and is replete with facts and figures in regard to the prison. Mr. Warner says in speaking of the employment ot convicts on public roads: The less dangerous class of prisoners may be trusted to work on the public roads at not too great a distance from the prison. But the more dangerous and desperate portion of the prisoners, which compose a large percentage of our population, would be a standing menace to the community. Of conrse. they could be heavily guarded and shot if attempting escape, but it would, in my opinion, soon be found that the advant-iges derived from tho general em ployment of our prisoners in this manner, ex cepting under the most favorable circum stances, would bo greatly over-borne by tho disadvantages which would be made apparent upon its trial. This system is often quoted as being successfully tried in the Southern States. But it must be remembered that the conditions existing in the North and the Sonth are entirely dissimilar, and also the fact that in no department does the South givo greater evidence of progress than in the treat ment of her prisoners. The abandonment of her lease systems, and consequently the chain gang bring tho prominent evidences in this di rection. I would, hofrever, recommend as a trial of the plan snggested. that it possible an arrangement be made with the authorities of O'Hara township, In which the workhouse is located, for tho improvement of its roads. The roads in this neighborhood certainly need im- E roving badly enough, and tbero is no uoubt nt that tho work could be carried on success fully near at home. The total receipts for the vear 1889 were $262,425 56. Of this amount 550,000 was re ceived irom the license lund ot Allegheny county. The total expenditures were $240, 193 0G. The daily average cost of each in mate was 36.32 cents. The daily average cost, after deducting the earnings of each inmate, was 19.14 cents. The total number of prisoners received since the organization of the workhouse, August 6, 18C9, is 48,003. One hundred and twenty-eight escaped without recapture. Three prisoners were sent up 52 times, and 1 person 62 times. Twenty-eight thousand three hundred and fifty-two were residents of the United States, 3 were from China, 2 from Brazil, 4 from Central America, 1 lrom Portugal, 1 from Greece, 1 from Chili and 2 from the West Indies. Five thousand, one hundred and seventy four were under 20 years of nge and 1,228 were over 60; 2,724 were widowers and 1,549 widows; 6,774 conld neither read nor write; 4,048 were total abstainers, 13,034 were mod erate drinkers, 9,224 intemperate and 22,579 were white males, 0,920 were white females, 3,220 colored males and 581 colored females. The number of prisoners received dnring the year was 3,264. Chaplain John Henderson pays a tribute to the religious observance of the prisoners. He says: "I must say that many a voice, the melody of which has been heard in the paths of sin, make good music iq a prison chapel service." The report of "physician F. McK. "White is also very interesting. POLL! WITH A JAG ON. A Hospital Parrot Looks Upon tho Cnp When It Is Well Filled. There was an amusing little scene in the Mercy Hospital yesterday. As most visi tors to the hospital know, a large green parrot, of evil inclinations and strident voice, is confined in the drng room, near the entrance hall. The parrot's cage is frequent ly opened to admit food, and other necessa ries. Yesterday the hospital hallboy, who has charge of Polly, didn't close the portals of her prison properly, and this fact was very speedily ascertained by the sagacious bird. Nobody was around, so the prisoner slipped her bolts, and stepped out. Now a small cup containing pure alcohol lay on the counter of the drug room, and Polly steered her course toward that cup. She was thirsty, and here was something drink able. Polly drank intending like manv another, only to take one drink and then to depart. But alas! The drink led to many others, and, sad to relate,Polly soon became intoxicated. Just then one of the house physicians entered, and the depraved bird swore at him with frightful vehemence, and bit him in the hand. Then, half-flying, half-leaping, Polly descended to the floor, and commenced to make for the entrance hall, with unsteady gait, swearing in a manner that made the waiting visitors stop their ears. Just then one of the sisters arrived on the scene, and found this frightful ex ample to all birds, blaspheming in the center or the hall, while the visitors were re treating in all directions. Aid was prompt ly summoned, Polly was locked up, and re moved into a room where he could sober up, and the entrance hall resumed its normal qnietude. BUTLER AGAINST DELAMATER. The Coanty Will Elect DeleEntes to Support stone. Ex-State Senator John M. Greer, of Bnt ler, went to Harrisburg lat evening to at tend a meeting of the Soldiers' Orphan School Commission. Mr. Greer said it was one of their stated meetings, and there was nothing especial to be done. Talking of politics, he said: "The peo ple in Butler county are not in sympathy with Dclamater, and I don't think they will support him. Either Phillies or Stone can have the county delegates, and as Phillips says he is not a candidate, Stone will be the man." A T. (t L. E. Entrance to Cbnrlcrol. The Pittsburg and Lake Erie road is con templating the construction of a bridge at Bellevcrnon to give it an entrance to Charleroi. Superintendent Holbrook and Chief Engineer Kelly visited the ground yesterday to select a crossing place. LOCAL ITEMS. LIMITED.

The hill people on the Allegheny side have been without water since the explosion of the boiler at the pumping station Sunday last. An adequate supply Is expected to day, however, as new boilers were put In place yesterday. Mr. I. R. Station insists that his contest for tho Mayoralty ot Allegheny was begun In the interest of good mnnlcipal government, and not for any selflsh purpose. Mayor Pkarson yesterday signed tho bonds indemnifying tho property owners af fected by the changes on California avenue. Mr. J. C. Toudy, an Old Southsider, Talks About the City's Past. WHAT IT WAS THIRTY YEARS AGO. His Exciting; Escape From a Fatal wreck on the Atlantic Ship- TEN FEET OF EAIN IN CALIFORNIA J. C. Toudy, a manufacturing jeweler of San Francisco, has been the city for several days. He is a brother-in-law of Mr. J. H. Sorg, President of the defunct F. &M. Bank of the Southside, and is a brother of O. B. Toudy, the real estate agent. Mr. Toudy was called to Pittsburg by the serious illness of his mother, who is the wife of the late Dr. Frederick Toudy, one of the first homeopathic physicians to locate west of the Allegheny Mountains. Their is a peculiar significance attached to Mr. Toudy 's visit, Inasmuch as it is 31 years since he left Pittsburg fur California. The city has almost outgrown his knowl edge. Old landmarks are gone. The South side, where Mr. Toudy made his home, has grovyn from the small town that it was, sur rounded by woods in which he was wont to gather hickory nuts when a boy, to a large city in itself. Mr. Toudy left Pittsburg in 1859, after having learned the jewelry trade with the veteran jeweler, McFadden, father of the present Fire Marshal. He went by way of New York and the Isthmus of Panama. He missed the boat he was to have sailed on from New York and took the North Star, which sailed six hours later. "WRECKED IX A STORM. When he arrived at Aspinwall he learned that the boat he missed had been wrecked in a fearful storm and all of the passengers lost. He will never forget his narrow es cape. From Aspinwall he took the Uncle Sam steamship and sailed up the coast to the "Golden Gates." The journey occupied three weeks, and he thought he made good time. Mr. Toudv started in the jewelry business as a manufacturer, and has done a success ful business. He speaks well of San Fran cisco. The climate is fine; the people are cultured and refined. His only objection to the population is the Chinese, of whom he bays there are 40,000 in San Francisco. They have recently taken to learning all kinds of trades, and are taking the places of other workmen at lower wages. California's "rainy season" has been pretty severe. There has been an average of 50 inches of rain all over the State, and in some parts they have had nearly ten leet. AX ADIIIKEK OP STAFFORD'S. Mr. Toudy is a great admirer of Senator Stanford. He takes great interest in home politics. San Francisco has a Democratic Mayor now, something it has not had for many years. Mr. Toudy was born in Prussia, of Ger man parents. He came to Pennsylvania with the family when he was 15 "years of age. He located on the Southside shortlv alter Birmingham borough was organized. He can remember when the only means of travel between the city and the Southside was by a ferry boat. There were a few glasshouses nd one or two mills, but no other manufacturing establishments on the Southside. When he left the city the old Smithfield street bridge had just been completed. City Hall had not been built and the Monongahela House had only been erected but a short time. Mr. Toudy left for Philadelphia last night to visit a brother who lives in that city. He will return on Monday, and if his mother grows no worse, he will leave for his home in California. BAER'S TERM EXPIRED. The New Surveyor ol the Port Hns Not Yet Been Appointed. The term of office of D. O. Barr, as Sur veyor of the Port of Pittsburg, expired yes terday, but as yet no one has been appointed to succeed him. Frank P. Case, city asses sor, is the candidate most prominently spoken of, and his friends expect he will be the man appointed. Mr. Case is an old newspaper man, and this fact alone would fit him for any position. He is backed by Congressman Dalzell, but the usual light between the latter and Senator Quay has de layed the appointment. Mr. Quay and Congressman Bayne are supporting Mr. John F. Dravo for the place. The other candidates are Major William Vogleson, William S. Brown, and a well known McKeesport gentleman. QUICK DETECTIVE WORK". Joe Brown Captured by Sol Conlson nt Rlnnsfleld, Pn. There is some peculiar feature about the stabbing matter between Joseph Brown and Cal Gray, who last night was resting easily in the Homeopathic Hospital. Brown, naturally, skipped out, but did fine work in covering his tracks.

While there are people in this section en gaged in the coal trade who say there is not only no money in it, but that money is lost in it, it seems there are people in the East who see. or at least think they see, profit in in it A Philadelphia syndicate has been quietly taking options in the neigh borhood of Bridgeville and Sodom, and has secured the coal under 7.000 acres at prices averaging from $35 to $45 an acre. These figures would have looked small, years ago, but notions of value have taken a tumble since then. This land will yield 100,000 bushels of merchantable coal to the acre. This is exclusive of nut coal and slack. It is said these options exhaust almost all the coal in that section that will at present pay for mining, the remainder consisting of isolated patches of a few acres each. It is said that the syndicate is not buvine this coal in the expectation that natural gas will give out and they thereby make it a largely paying speculation, but with in tent to do Dusiness under present conditions. It is suggested that railway companies must have business, and that to them the move ment may be attributed. Were it not for coal and coke they would be compelled to haul many thousands of empty cars west each year, and, ou the principle that half a loaf is better than no bread, they hanl freight quite cheaply at times. Ship own ers who carry passengers and mails may find it profitable to ballast with sand, but rail way owners have a horror of hauling empty cars. Can Yoa Afford to Miss Them?

There is one applicant for a retail liquor license before the court who certainly should get one if anybody should. He is at present attending bar in a Smithfield street saloon. Some time ago a well-known local office holder walked into the saloon and called for whisky. The bartender put out the bottle and two glasses. As the would-be customer poured out the whisky and raised it to his lips he said to the white-aproned attendant: "This is my first drink in 17 years." "Excuse me, but there's a fly in that glass," said the bartender, as be reached over and took the liquor from the man's hand. He then threw the whisky on the floor and said: "If that's the first in 17 years I'll be blankety-blanked if I'll have the name of selling it to you." Itemonstrance was of no avail and the man pleaded for the whisky. His appeal had no more effect than if it had been made to a wooden Indian.
