rSrECTAt. TSiZrBAU TO THB DZSTATCR.!
Set Yohk, March 24. "When Judge
Lawrence, at the special term of the Su
preme Court to-day, called the case of the
Metropolitan Exhibition Company against
John M. AVard, which was the first on the
calendar, Lawyer Duysters announced his
readiness to proceed, although he was the
only one of the lawyers on either side pres
ent John li. Day was called as the first
witness for the plaintiff and w2s examined
by Mr. Beaman.
Mr. Beaman "What expenses haTe you
incurred in fitting up your present grounds?
Mr. Day I shonld say between 545.000
and 550,000.
Mr. Howland objected, and the Judge
asked if testimony was material. Mr.
Beaman said he wanted to show how the
business would suffer if the players refused
to keep their engagements, as "Ward has
been in the company's employ for abont six
years.
SIR. HOWLiSD OBSECTS.
Mr. Howland What company?
Mr. Beaman The Metropolitan Exhibition
Company.
Mr. Howland I object.
Judge Lawrence Gentlemen, the contracts
read as tho New York club.
Sir. Beaman then asked Mr. Day whether
"Ward ever had a contract made out in the name
of the Metropolitan Exhibition Company. The
reply was no: it was always in the name of the
New York clnb. Judge Lawrence said if the
Metropolitan Exhibition Company and the
New York clnb were the same concern, there
ought to hare been some resolution passed
wherein a contract was ordered to be made out
in the name of the New York clnb. The best
evidence on that point would be the minutes of
the corporation. Mr. Beaman took exceptions
to tbe exclusion of that testimony. Upon cross
examination by Mr. Howland, Mr. Day said the
Metropolitan Exhibition Company does not
favor any other club but the New York club,
nor never did, exceptingtbe Metropolitan Clnb.
He did not usually pay AVard his salary. He
was frequently paid by checks, and he could
sweij to that, for hi" could refer to the boo is.
Mr. Howland attempted to draw from Mr. Day
his opinion of the difference as players between
Glasscock and Ward.
ME. DAY COCZDX'T DECIDE.
Mr. Day said that he was unable to state
which was the bettor player. Judge Lawrence
asked tbe witness if the company had a consti
tution and by-laws. The reply was, "I think
so."
Judge Howland How much do you pay
GUscock. Objected to.
Mr. Day As high as S5.000. I am prepared to
say tb it that if all I have to pay him. I will
probably pay his expenses to Indianapolis, but
tLere will be no cratuity at the end of the year.
Farrell's salary is about 000.
Arthur Bell. Superintendent of the company,
was the next witness, and all tbe questions
were objected to, the objections sustained and
exception noted. Mr. Bell said he paid all
salaries generally from tbe money taken in. If
there was not enongb to go around be would
get checks from the Treasurer, Mr. Dillingham.
Lawyer Duysters was called. He said he or
ranized the company in 1SS2 as an attorney.
He was a director one year, and for the past
two years he has been the secretary. Thn com
pany was formed under an old law of ISIS. All
the business was transacted under the name of
the company.
Mr. Howland did not produce any witnesses,
but asked that the case be dismissed because
the contract of tbe defendant was made out in
the name of tbe New York club and not tbe
Metropolitan Exhibition Company; that it is
not a contract for two yenrs; that it is indefi
nite and lacks mutuality. He handed up to the
Court Judge O'Brien's decision and tbe deci
sion of Judge Tliajer, of Philadelphia, In the
Hallmau case.
A CLEAN-CUT AEGUMENT.
Mr. Beaman made a clean-cut argument against
Mr. Hou land's motion, but before he con
cluded he was interrupted by Judge Lawrence,
who asked:
"What fact appears before me that was not
presented to Judge O'Brien?"
Mr. Beaman Not one. Excepting tho ques
tion of difference between tbe Metropolitan
Exhibition Company and the New York club.
But I hardly think the case was argued as
carefully before Judge O'Brien as now. The
greatest stress at that time was laid upon tbe
word "reserve." Mr. Beaman was about refer
ring to a decision when Judge Lawrence again
interrupted him. Judge Honland then argued
in favor of his motion to dismiss taking Judge
O'Brien's decision as a basis. Judge Lawrence
said:
'It is generally conceded that there is noth
ing in this case Irom what was presented be
fore. I really don't see wnat I have to try.
Jndge O'Brien's opinion was rendered on the
argument after paucnt and careful attention.
I leel most strongly inclined to follow bis opin
ion without some new facts are brought out.
Very well, I will reserve my decision."
WILL SIGN DUNLAP.
President Vimlek Slakes Terms With His
Old Second Baseman.
President Nimick, of the local League club,
returned from the East yesterday morning, and
expressed himself as being well pleased with
the result of tho New York meeting of the
League magnates. After leaving New York
Mr. Nimick and Secretary Scandrett visited
Fred Dunlap at Philadelphia, and it now seems
certain that Dunlap nil! play his old position
in tbe Pittsburg League club. Speaking on the
matter Mr. Nimick said:
"I had a long talk with Mr.
Dunlap, and we agreed to
terms for him to play with us this season. Of
course the terms are below those of last vear,
that is, he will play for much less than $5,000.
He did not sign a contract, for reasons that
wero quite satisfactory to me, but he will sign
in a few days. There is no doubt on this point.
He has been very badly treated by the Brother
hood. We know be is a good player and be is
quite willing to remain with us.''
Regarding Couway's desertion Mr. Nimick
said: "I have a contract in mv office signed
by Conway binding him definitely to play
with us during the season of 169u.
He received tiSOOfrnm us last year and pitched
two games. Altogether he cost us nearly 53,000
for these two games and his conduct is a
sample of how these alleged 'down trodden'
ball players show their gratitude. However,
I don't think we are through with Mr. Conway.
If he turns out to be worth suing we will sue
him, because bis case is different to that of
anybody else. Beckley's case was bad enough,
but Conway has certainly acted in tbe most
contemptible manner. Just think of it! We
paid this man all last year for doing nothing,
hoping tnat he would be of service to us this
year. He signed a bona fide contract to play
this year, and that fact prompted us to pay
hitn well fur doing nothing. Now in view of
all this John Ward mduces him to play the
part of a dishonorable man. Well, they may
have made a big mistake.''
Mr. Nimick, speaking of the New York
meeting, said: "There are only about four per
rons know how much was paid
to Messro. Biush and Hewitt to
withdraw from tbe League. Of course
the two gentlemen named know, but
only four more know beside themselves. It was
left to tbe committee, Messrs. Spalding, Rob
inson and Soden, to settle. Tbey were enjoined
to keep the terms secret, excent, of course,
stating them to our attorney. Colonel Rogers.
I don't know the terms, and I ay this on my
honor. Certainly Mr. Brush uat well paid. New
York will have one of the best teams in tbe
conntry, and that will help all ot us, as the
Brooklyn and New York Players' teams will. 1
think, be knocked out before tbe end of this
year, and that will end the new League."
Daring a. further conversation Mr. Nimick
Intimated that the entire LeagueviU pay for
the deal by which the Indianapolis and Wash
ington clnbs were disposed of.
DOWS OX TUE BROTHERHOOD.
Carpenters Relate to Work on the Boston's
Niw Ground.
Boston, Mass., March. 2t The carpenters
at work on the Boston Players' club grounds
were ordered to qnit this afternoon by the Car
penters' Union. All but seven men of the 80
employes went out.
According to Whlking Delegate Clinkard, of
the Carpenters' Union, the Federation of
Labor have been given to understand time and
time again that in payment for their indorse
ment the Brotherhood would assuredly see to
it that contracts would be let out only to such
contractors as would agree to employ union
labor, pay nnion wages and enforce the union
standard of work day, whether it might be
eight or nine hours. It is claimed that not only
has the Brotherhood club of Boston failed to
conform to tbe requirements of the union, but
that the Brotherhood managers of the other
cities have practically icnored in the placing
of their contracts the Indorsement of the labor
organization and the wishes of the Carpenters'
Union in Chicago and Philadelphia.

Richbubo, Miss., March 2t Theoretically
Jake Kilrain is a prisoner serving out a two
months' sentence for an assault committed on
one John L. Sullivan in Marion county. Prac
tically he is enjoying full liberty and the gen
erous hospitality of a sub-jailer. When Jake
left this city for Columbia, the county seat of
Marion, Saturday morning in company with
Charles W.Rich it was tbe belief that tbe
efforts of his friends to secure his release under
the prison contract system had been futile.
Jake wag blue and so was Rich. The latter has
conceived a warm friendship for tbe Baltimore
pugiusi, ana saia ne wouiu Keep jaKe outoi i
jail if it cost $1,000. Friday telegrams were
passing between Kicb and tbe authorities of
Marion county. Rich was ordered to produce
Jako before the County Commissioners.
Rich is one of tbe wealthiest, most popular
and influential young men in Marion county,
and when he undertakes to do a thing be usu
ally succeeds. On meeting the Commissioners,
he took off his coat, produced a check book
and began an argument in Jake's behalf. It
required two houre of fast and emphatic talk
to gam his point, but he gained it. The climax
to the argument was reached when Rich signed
a check for a good round sum, and throwing it
before them, invited the Commissioners to
either accept or reject it, and to be in a hurry
about making up their minds. The check was
accepted. The amount of money it calls for is
not yet known. Rich refuses to say, and the
Marion County Commissioners are equally ret
icent. Jake and Rich returned to this' city
last night to be dined and wined by friendly
sports.

A GLASS OF POISON
Nearly Pnts an End to the Existence
of Mrs. Nat Goodwin, Jr.,
JEALOUS OP MISS ISABEL COE,
Her Ensuand's Chief Support In the Gold
Mine Combination.
FBIEXDS CLAIM IT WA8 AN ACCIDENT.
The rcpnlir Comedian Has Been TraKlinff Very
Rapidly of Late.
Mrs. N. C. Goodwin, Jr., took a glass of
carbolic acid, but was saved by the doctors.
She is still in a precarious condition. Mrs.
Goodwin is said to have been jealous of
Miss Isabel Coe without cause. The
actor's friends claim that the poisoning was
accidental.
IFr-ECIAt, TELEQltAU TO THE DISrATCTT.l
St. Louis, March 21. At 2 o'clock this
morning Dr. Powers, resident physician in
the Southern Hotel, was hastily summoned
to the apartment of Mrs. X. C. Goodwin,
Jr., and was told that Mrs. Goodwin had
taken a glass of carbolic acid with the in
tention of putting an end to her life. The
doctor went to work and soon relieved the
lady of the greater part of the poison. She
remained in a critical condition for several
hours and is still very ill.
There are two stories about the affair.
The one Mr. Goodwin and his friends are
circulating shows it to be an accident. An
other story, however, is the talk of theatrical
circles, and it is causing quite as much of a
sensation as did the marriage of Mr. aud
Mrs. Goodwin a. tew years ago.
JEALOUS OF MISS COB.
This story is that Mrs. Goodwin is jealous,
and that the lady of whom she is jealous is
Miss Isabel Coe, or Mrs. Frank McKee, who
is Goodwin's leading support in "A Gold
Mine." Goodwin did not return to his hotel
Saturday, and last night stopped at Pope's. It
was at this time the acid was taken.
When the poison began its deadly work. Mrs.
Goodwin gave tbe alarm. The Titian-haired
comedian was soon run down, and brought to
his wife's bedside. After the death of his first
wife. Eliza Weatbersby. It was regarded as an
open secret in theatrical circles that he had
found a young ladv who could make him forget
his sorrow. The young lady was Lalia Farrell,
a bright and popular yonng actress.
They were said to be engaged and would soon
be married. Suddenly, however, Mr. Goodwin
turned up as tbe central figure of a sensation
by marrying the young widow who is now his
wife. She was a member of a very respectable
Buffalo family, had considerable wealth and
never had anything to do with the stage. Mrs.
Goodwin is under SO and very handsome. She
thinks a great deal of Goodwin, andlooks after
him verv attentivelv. particularly since the
death of their child, as she says be has been
more inclined since then to get out and seek
convivial and congenial company.
AFEAID HE WOULD FOBGET.
She took him from Pope's Sunday afternoon,
and took him to the Southern Hotel. She said
to friends later that she was afraid he wonld
get out and forget the time of tbe departure of
bis train. At the time Mr. Goodwin was in a
box with somo theatrical friends, among whom
were Miss Isabel Coe (Mrs. Frank McKee) and
Mr. McKee. Tbe latter bad run into St. Louis
tbe night before to see bis wife, as he does
whenever ho has the opportunity. He is man
aeer ot "Mankind" and "Exile." and all of
Hoyt's plays, and owns A Tin Soldier-"
It is claimed that if there is jealousy it is
without foundation. Tbe company has gone to
Kansas City, but Nat and bis wife will remain
here until Mrs. Goodwin can travel. Mr. Goo3
win spent a very delirious week of it here, and
developed his old weakness for gambling for
heavy sums.
STANDAED SHUT DOWN AGAIN.
Tho Cooper Shops Will be Idle for Probably
Two Months.
After a run of less than two months in tbe
Standard Cooper Shop.anotber indefinite shut
down has just been ordered. Tbere is a stock
of probably 9,000 barrels n the warehouse. The
shutdown will probably last two months. The
shutdown throws over 100 mn out of work.
They generally turned out from 500 to 600 bar
rels a day.
The oil stills at refinery No. L which is con
nected with the cooper shop are making their
usnal runs on refined oil, the average being
about 900 barrels a day, of which abont two
thirds is tbe average datlv shipments. Alto
gether there are over 100,000 barrels of crude
and refined oil in the storage tanks at this re
finery and at the Globe Oil Works.
CATHOLIC HUNS BDILDIKG CHURCHES.
Homestead Gcrmnns Want a Pastor bat
Cannot Get One Now.
The Catholic Hungarians at Braddock ap
pointed a committee, which called on Bishop
Phelan, asking permission to establish a new
congregation and build a new church. The
Bishop granted tbe request and the work to
purchase a site and build a church and school
house will soon be commenced.
The Catholic Hungarians at Homestead and
Duquesue have the same object in view and in
tbe near future frill petition the Bishop for a
church. There are several other places in the
diocese where Catholic Hungarians and Italians
are moving to build up new congregations. Tbe
German Catholics of Homestead asked for a
church, but that request was refused for tho
present.
ANOTHER GAS LINE.
Spnnc & Cholfnnt's Main Will Probably be
Completed in Four Weeks.
A largo force of men has been put to work on
tbe new cas line of Spang, Chalfant & Co.
About 300 feet of line per day Is laid. Within
four weeks the line Is expected to be completed
to Etna. It will be a high pressure main, and
will furnish many million cubic feet per day to
the various mills in that vicinity.
The inclement Heather has also greatly re
tarded the worK on the foundation for the pipe
mill, though the work is now in such shape as
to be pusbed in spite of this. Ten and twelve
inch pipe will be made in the new branch, and
it is said many new inventions will be used in
tbe department New engines, rolls and ma
chinery are in course of construction, and all
will be finished in the course of a few weeks.
From 50 to 75 new men will be employed.
AN ALLEGHENY MIX.
A Man With Two Nnnies Who Wnnted as
Many Wives.
A man calling himself by the names Mr.
Herman and Mr. Lausun was arrested on .Fed
eral street last night at tbe request of his wife
and another woman. The woman said tbe
man had wanted her to go to Baltimore and
become an actress. He afterward asked her
to marry him, but she found tho man had a
wife and arranged with her and a policeman
to meet the husband in front of -Allegheny City
Hall. The matter was laid before Mayor Pear
sun. - The man claimed the entire matter was a
joke, and as the women refused to make an
information, the gentlemen with the two
names was released.
Matters at McKecport.
The McKeesport Board of Trade and a rep
resentative from each of the important towns
along the Yough river will go to Washington to

A Murder Siory Spoiled.
Allegheny police circles were yesterday
greatly stirred up over tbe statement that
Henry Parens, a man living on Willow street,
Observatory Hill, had murdered his wife and
dangbter. Parcha was arrested at the Alle
gheny Market House, and then the detectives
hurried up the hill to investigate, where they
found Mrs. Parcha and her aaughters all well.
There were 11 ot them. Tbey all assured the
detectives that there had only been a family
jar, and the man was released,
DR. E WING MAY FLOP.
Dr. Donehoo Doesn't Bcllovo In Infnnt
Damnation He Wants the Doctrine
Chanced He Also Recommends Mar
riages With SIiters-In-Lavr.
An important meeting of the Pittsburg
Presbytery will be held next Tuesday in
the East Liberty Church. The delegates to
the General Assembly will be chosen. At
the last meeting Dr. E. R. Donehoo gave
notice that he would ask for the revision of
the article of faith pertaining to infant
damnation. Yesterday the Doctor said he
meant business, and as he wanted to get the
children out of hell as well as keep them away
from it, he thought tho doctrine should be
chanrpd.
"At one time," said he, "the church selected t
an the harsh measures in tne ruuia lor its
guidance and rules of practice, and ignored the
mild teachings. Now this is a great mistake,
and the church is fast getting away from that
idea. God intended that 'the mild measures
should not be overlooked."
"It is possible," continued the Doctor, "that
Dr. Ewing will join us. He hasn't said any
thing abont it, aud we have given him no in
vitation: but if his awn people make it too hot
for him we would be glad to welcome him. He
is a strong man, and would be an addition to
our church. I think he could get a clear cer
tificate. Long ago we knocked out of our
faith the article forbidding marriages with
sisters-in-law. Several of our ministers have
married their dead wives' sisters.and I am sure
tbey acted wisely. I notice that such marriages
are much happier than some others I have seen
where there was no immediate relation. When
a man's wife dies, if he marry again, it should
be his sister-in-law if they love, because the
new wife will take an interest in the children,
and the breaking up of families, often caused
by stepmothers, will be avoided."
FAREWELL TO PITTSBURG.
Mr. Murray Tcrner Preparing to Remove to
ills New Boffolo Home.
Mr. Murray Verner, the associate of Mr. H.
Sellers McKee in the largo Investments in the
street railway syndicate line, has determined
to move to Buffalo on April 7, and will take up
his home in that thriving city, where he has

his many years of business life in this city.
Mr. Verner's family will accompany him to
Buffalo without delay.
It is authoritatively learned that the immense
sum of 20,000,000 ir. to be invested in street rail
way systems within a year by Mr. McKee and
his associates in the syndicate. The Philadel
phia capitalist who is putting np a good slice of
tbe money is Mr .E. H. Clarke, of Drexel, Mor
gan & Co. The railway systems of Utica and
Albany. New Yonc, are now under considera

Other cities are under advisement.
The syndicate has an ontiou upon the passen

revenup, and it is supposed that the application
ol modern ideas will work a considerable

GRD1IBLIKG AT THE BOARD.
Men Who Complain of the Work of the
Three Viewers.
C. C. West of the firm of West & Grierson, of
the Southside, was one of the fault-finders of
the Board ot Viewers, yesterday. He said that
he owned some property on South Twenty
eighth street, between Sarah and Carey alley.
The two bouses, one at each end of tho block,
face and have their main entrances on Sarah
street and Carey alley, which thoroughfares
have been paved by Mr. West. At the last con
sideration of the Twenty-eighth street paving,
the lot of Mr. West, with 109 feet frontage, was
assessed at 413, while another one diagonally
opposite, on the same street, 123 feet frout, is
assessed at f 102. This, Mr. West says, is rather
rubbing it in, and he objects to paying more for
less frontage very decidedly.
Several other peonle yosterday grnmbled con
siderably. Councilman Andrew Binder, of tbe
Thirty-first ward, said the project of Colonel
Allen, of the Board of Viewers, to pave Brad
dock avenue nith asphalt was simply waste.
The road led to a quarry, from which heavy
hauling micht be expected for many years yet,
and, with tho material right on the ground to
pave the avenue with stone, much better
adapted for heavy freightage, and cheaper, ho
thought it would be waste of money to use the
aipbalt, and an imposition upon tbe resident
property owners to assess them for it.
SELLING BROSl'S STOCK.
What Little la Left Is Sold nt Public Auction
Bvtho Sheriff.
Depnty Sheriff Robert Newell began the
sale of the stock of jewelry in the storo of John
C. Brosi, yesterday. Tbe rumor that Bros! bad
taken away about everything of value that he
could conveniently carry was evidently proven
when the safe was opened, as there was scarcely
any goods to be found. The goods sold brought
fairly good prices, but they will not bring any
thing like tbe amount Bros! is alleged to have,
obtained through his cleverness with the pen.
A great many peonle who had watches or
Jewelry at Brosl's place, are very much ex
ercised over the fear that they will not get their
property. But this fear is unfounded, as it is
said that all who have any goods at tbe storo
and can prove tbe property, will have no
troupie in getting it.
COULSON'S COLORED CATCH.
He Is Hold In a Thousand Dollars for a
Court Trial.
The colored man Brown, who was arrested at
Mansfield, Pa., by Detective Sol Coulson for
stabbing Cal Gray, was taken before Judge
Gripp yesterday and held tor trial at court on
a charge of felonious assault and battery..
The clever attempt to get away made by the
criminal and frustrated by the Police Bureau,
as already published in The Dispatch, was
last night the subject of considerable discus
sion among tbe officials, and the escaped
criminal's friends besieged tbe police head
quarters with petitions for clemency. The ex
citement caused by this case nearly equals that
made by tbe Yeldell extradition matter somo
months ago.
A CURIOUS COMBINATION.
One Case Where Seven Mny bo Thought nn
Unlncky Number.
Mrs. Catherine Grant, aged 70 years, living
about seven miles from the city, 'in Baldwin
township, was found at 7 o'clock yesterday
morning lying in tho bottom of a cistern, near
tho house, quite dead.
She bad been acting queerly for some time,
and it is supposed that she committed suicide.
She had not beeu missing more than an hour
when her dead body was found The Coroner
will bold an inquest this morning. Mrs. Grant
was highly respected. Sire leaves a husband
and one daughter.
t A Lot for Newsies.
Manager Alexander yesterday deeded a fine
corner lot in Cbarleroi to tbe Pittsburg News
boys' Home, on Old avenue. It would sell for
600, and will be a handsome present for tbe
newsies.

the flood.
Cincinnati, O., March 24. The biggest
thing in Cincinnati to-night is the Ohio
river, and its getting bigger every moment
Slowly but surely it is covering the bot
toms, and the muddy waters covers the floor
of the Grand Central depoPlike a yellow
blanket. No trains sre coming into it now
and freight and passengers must hunt far
away stations and out of the way places.
Tbe Cork Street Surface road has been com
pelled to stop, and the Twenty-fifth ward
with its 25,000 people must come to town in
skiffs or stay at home.
The scenes of the levee are full of excite
ment The hundreds of families in the
vicinity of Front and Second streets, between
Central avenue and Vine street, four squares
long and three deep, are packed ready to get
out.
MERCHANTS MOVING OUT.
All about Broadway, Main and Sycamore
streets, for three sqnares back from the river,
the merchants are moving their goods into the
second stories, while further back tbe base
ments are being rapidly deserted. Hundreds
of teams are at work moving valuables, and
thousands of men are hurrying to and fro.
Every express cart and transfer wagon in the
city is employed.
To add to the confusions thousands of sight
seers throng the levees and crowd the bridges.
The water famine is one of tbe serious possi
bilities. The new engine, with a pumping
capacity of 12,000.000 gallons daily, can run to
71 feet of water. The other engines are stopped
at G2, but even now they are working badly, as
they have been largely under water for weeks
and the packing has become loose. The daily
consumption of water is 40,000,000 gallons. Tbe
coal yards are in great danger, but no damage
has been done.
At Bellerue, Ky tbe main track of the
Chesapeake and Ohio at the head of Taylor
avenue washed out, carrying out a vast quan
tity of earth, necessitating pile driving, an
extensive system of drainage and other im
provements at a cost of fully 20,000.
DRIVEN FKOM THEIK HOMES.
In Newport 2,000 people have been driven
from their homes, and are camping out in
scboolhouses and other public buildings, and
every factory of importance in the town is
closed. At Portsmouth tho water has reached
tbe heart of tbe city.
The Ohio and Mississippi Railroad cannot
get its trains within eight miles of tbe city, and
to-night the Scioto Valley road was cut oif, and
the Chesapeake and Ohio will probably be before
morning.
Hundreds of homeless people are in the
engine andschoolhouses. Communication with
Ripley is shut off, hut water is known to be in
main streets. Maysville and New Richmond
are in danger, hut no serious damage is re
ported from any up-river points.
RETURNING TO COAL.
Allegheny Knocks Oat the Gas Contract for
Its Pumping Station.
At a special of the Allegheny Common Coun
cils last night a resolution, awarding to the Al
legheny Heating Company the contract for fur
nishing natural gas for the Howard street and
Troy Hill pumping stations for $25,000 a year,
was read. Mr. Knox said he was opposed to
the resolution because he thought the price
was excessive. They could put in coal and
stokers cheaper than that, and save the price
of tbe stokers tbe first year, and then have
them afterward. Besides he thought the Alle
gheny Heating Company was charging 825.000
for gas the city was not getting. It was like the
negro who thought the sun most useful the
moon only shone on moonlight nights, and then,
they didn't need it. The citizens only get gas
on warm days, when they don't need it On cold
days it is scarce.
There was no further remark, but upon a
vote tberesolntion was lost by a vote of 24 noes
to 10 ayes.
A large number of small contracts were
awarded, and much other routine business was
gotten out of the way.

TWO OP A KIND.
Both Railroad Accidents, bat Standing Ace
nigh to Flash.1
A report was current about midnight that a
very bad accident had occurred on the Penn
sylvania line, and about in the same locality as
the Johnstown disaster. Inquiry through the
telephone failing to get the railroad officials to
acknowledge anything a personal investigation
was made.
It was discovered that two wrecks had oc
curred, one in the vicinity of Johnstown and
the other at Bennington, the former smashing
one freight car and tbe latter making match
wood of five. Train No. 1. due with passen
gers at 11:55 P. if., was delayed nearly
three hours in consequence and the Ft Wayne
train had to wait that much longer, delaying a
good many people from reachingthelrsuburban
homes in time to explain to their wives what
kept them so late.
The Union station train dispatcher said
about 2 A. 3t. that there were no lives lost or
injuries received in the wreck, and No. 1 would
arrive about 2:30 A. Jf.

A WANT SUPPLIED.
Where bilious diseases prevail there has long
been felt the need of a medicine that would act
specifically on the liver, be safe from bad after
effects, and yet so simple that it might be nscd
by anyone. Dr. Tutt's Pills supply this want.
No family should be without them.
A PROCLAMATION.
Dr. I. Guy Lewis of Fulton, Ark., writes:
"One year ago I wasjtaken sick, a friend argued
so strongly in favor of Tutt's Pills that I was
induced to use them. Neverdid medicine have
a happier effect. After a practice of a quarter
of a century. I proclaim them the best anti
bilious medicine ever used. I have prescribed
tbem in my practice ever since, with the best
results."

UNLIKE TEA & COFFEE-GOOD FOR THE NERVES.
The claims of cocoa as a useful article of diet are steadily
winning recognition. Unlike tea and coffee, it is not only a
stimulant but a nourisher; and it has the great advantage of
leaving no narcotic effects. Hence it is adapted to general
use. The strong may take it with pleasure, and the weak
with impunity.
