Daniel Reardon, .No. 121 Forty-sixth street, was represented by Attorney William Reardon. The applicant is a mild-faced gentleman who wears a lone beard and spectacles. In answer to Mr. Christ) 's questions, Mr. Reardon said that he was arrested on January 4. 1S9Q, for sell ing without license, and he admitted that he had kept a SDeak-easy for six months. Samuel W". Remolds. No. -IS29 Butler street, was licensed until May 1. 1SS9, and since then has travelled for his health. Mr. Christy asked Mr. Reynolds if he was not prosecuted, in 1SS8, for selling liquor to minor. The applicant said that he had nut Deen. He said that, for his own family, ho bought about threeeighths of beer every two weeks. George C Rote. No. 1S6 Forty-third street, held a license, transferred to him, on the But ler plank road, in 1SSS. One year aco heap plied for Shaler township, and was refused. He is a gentleman of good appearance. A EEFOKMED BAKTENDEK. Charles K. Rivers, a reformed barkeeper, ap plies for No. 4519 Butler street, where, he says, he Intends to spread cheap meals for the un fortunate travelers who chance to pass that way. If he does not get a license be is not bound to take the bouse, his lease being only conditional. He is a son to Constable Hirers, of the Seventeenth ward. Mrs. Anna Stiegerwald. who applies for No. 75 Forty-third street, presented a letter from the pastor and elders of the Forty-fourth street Evangelical German Church. "Pass it up." said J odge Ewlng. "I think w e may be able to furnish a museum with carious literature." Mrs. Stiegerwald is a very heavy woman, very heavily draped with black. For 16 years, until 1SS7, her husband kept a saloon, and the widow now keeps an eating house. Last year her oldest son. J, Michael, applied for a license and was refused, and this year he is an applicant for a wholesale license. During the past year Mrs. Stieger wald has sold cigars, pop Mid cider. She gets an occasional keg of oeer, and now and then hep boarders get some of it. She denied that she had sold any beer. C A. Shade was called, and testified that he had known Mrs. Stiegerwald 21 years. He thought she kept an orderly house. OSE OF THE MANY. Gus Stitzer. No. 4209 Penn avenue, is the only applicant in bis block, and for that reasop considers himself very lucky. It is, indeed, a phenomenal circumstance where there are not from three to six applicants in each block throughout all Lawrenceville. Mr. Stitzer for about a year drove a police patrol wagon, and last June was called to Johnstown to assist in the wholesale undertaking work at that city. Stitzer was asked by Mr. Christy whether he had not been prosecuted for selling liquor ille gally. Mr. Stitzer said: "It was published in one of the evening papers that I had been pros ecuted for selling liquor without a license. A day or two after that a man by the name of J. K. Gilner came to see me. He said I had been prosecuted before Alderman Leslie, and that Constable Rivers wonld bo after me, but he thought he could fix it up for J10. I told him I bad no 10 to give him, and that was the last I heard of the thing. Alderman Leslie and Con stable Rivers both know where I lire, and they could have lound me. I heard afterward that a man named Shields went to Leslie's office and said he wanted to make a com plaint against me. Shields was drunk, and the Alderman told him that be should come back when be was sober they didn't do busi ness with drunk men. There never was any information made. My brother-in-law had beer brought to the house when he lived in a part of it, and I made him more out for that very reason. IKHEBETED BXB FANCY. Mrs. Kate Sohl, a little, plump woman, ap plied for No. 15S Forty-eighth street. She had a license for three years, until May 1, 1SS9. hav ing inherited her fancy for the business from her father. She denied that she had been con victed of illegal selling dur-ng the past year. She said that she got a case of beer weekly, but never sold any of it. If her boarders "were around, she would sometimes open her heart and give them some. The possessor of the only liquor license in the Seventeenth ward, Charles E. smith, keeper of the Arsenal Hotel, at No. 41)18 Butler street, was next called. He is a smooth, polished, well-dressed gentleman, and the immense glit tering diamond wnicn sparKies on one oi tne plump fingers of his left hand indicates to the casual observer the value of the monopoly which he has enjoyed. His sister and mother look after the eating department and bis brother and two bartenders look after the wet good-. "I have the most orderly saloon in the citv. bar none." said Mr. Smith. "Do you sell to drunkards?" asked Judge Ewiug. "No, sir; I am careful of that." "Have jou received notice not to sell to cer tain persons?" "I have not." SEVEK HEARD OF TIIEM. "Do you know a man named Traub?" "No, sir." "Or a boy named John Traub?" "No, sir; I never heard of them. The fact that I have the only license in that neighbor hood makes others jealous." Mr. Smith presented a letter of commenda tion from Deputv Postmaster Patterson. Michael Shea, So. 4929 Harrison street, keeps a small eating bouse. Joseph Waltber. No. 4709 Butler street, used to keep a simple saloon, but now says that if be gets a license, be will try to keep a res taurant. Jacob Wagner and Ernest Keck applied for No. 81 Forty-third street. For several years Mr. Keek ran saloons in various places, and both applicants have been bartenders for Mrs. Kate Louis, at No. 3-MS Butler street. Neither ot tbem has previously applied under the Brooks law. Mr. Keck said he did not apply in 1SSS be cause he thought he would not pull through. "That is just what I supposed," said Judge Ewing. Mr. Wagner was born in Germany and only naturalized last January. EIGHTEENTH VTABD PEOPLE. The Eighteenth ward was begun with John Albrich. who asks for a license in a bouse at No. 5302 Butler street, which he built three years ago. For nine years Mr. Alurich has been driving a beer wagon for Spencer Lid dell. He said that he took no order?, but merely delivered beer at saloons, according to the orders in the office. The brewing firm, be asserted, had no interest in his application. Mr. Albnch heretofore has been unable to se cure a licence to open a saloon in his new brick bouse, and at present has bis storeroom rented to Peter Ashman, a cigar manufacturer. P. Brennan. a big man with a florid face and an iron grav mustache, keens an eating house at No. 516S Butler street. He sold liquor until 1859. and during the year 185S sold beer in buckets. Mr. Christy Didn't you have gambling in your house? Mr. Brennan Never that I heard of. Mr. Chrity Do jou know Frank Bracken? "No, sir." "Or William Smith. Thomas Welsh, Philip McCabe or Matt Hanlonr' "I know those men; they have been in my place." "Did thev crer gamble there throw dice or plav QardsT" "No. sir." "They are mill men?" SOME ABE MILL MEN. "Yes, sir; some of them are." "You are near the Lucy Furnace and the bridge works?"' "Yes. right near." Edward Bannon, No. 510S Butler street, has just moved into the Eighteenth ward from the Seventeenth ward. At his old place he kept boarders, and intends to do so at his new place. 'Hare vou ever furnished any 1 iquor to j our boat ders?" asked Judge Magee. "Not for some time." "Mr. Bannon was refused, in the Seventeenth ward, both in 1S5S and 18S9. During the first of those two years be sold soft drinks, but said that it did not pay. Three years ago he was convicted for selling on Sundav. Ex-Councilman M. C. Dwyer, the Democratic leader ot the Eighteenth ward, applied for a renewal of bis well-known place on Butler street, near the Sharpsburg bridge. There is a remonstrance against his place, tho charge being that it is a disorderly tippling house. MET REFUTE THE CHARGE. Michael F. Cosgrove, watchman for the Standard Oil Company, and Wilson Connor, a coremaker, neighbors who have known Mr. Dwyer for manyyears, swore that his place was orderly and that he was a decent man, fitted to keep a saloon. Mr. Christy Have you to keep a policeman? Mr. Dwyer No, sir. "Does your son act as a sort of peace officer about there?" "No sir." "Do you know a man named Campbell?" "Yes, sir." ''Did you sell to his son?" "No, sir. I sold Campbell a glass of beer, and bo rave his boy a sip of it. He was warned not to do that. That is all there is to It." "Have you sold liquor in bottles?" "Yes, sir. I have complied with the law." "Did you sell to women?" "Only twice, when they came for their hus bands with orders." On receiving his license, a year ago, Mr. Dwjcr resigned bis seat in the Council. Last month he was again a candidate for Council, but was defeated. ATTORNEY CHRISTY AGAIN. Attorney Christy called H. A. Burbank, a real estate agent, who was sworn. Mr. Bur bank said that be did not visit Dwyer's place, but passes it every day. He lives about 60 yards from Dwyer's saloon. He said that during the year the patrol wagon had visited Dwyer's cor ner, but just how often he did not know. He had seen many drunken men issue from the saloon, and had heard people complain that they could not get anything to eat there. He was asked by Mr. Chnstv: "Do you know any thing about the arrest of a man there, and the shooting?" "No, sir: I only heard the shots." "Do you know who they were fired by?" "Not personally." "Whom were they reported to have been fired by?" "By this gentleman's son." On cross-examination Attorney Watson brought out the fact that Mr. Burbank had been defeated by Mr. Dwyer in a Councilmanic contest four rears ago. William Francies, who lives very close to Dwyer's saloon, testified that many drunken men came out of the place, and that the patrol wagon bad been called to the box at the saloon corner several times. In answer to a question by Judge Ewing, Mr. Dwyer said that his son was employed in the ofiice of the City Engineer. ALSO ON THE LIST. Conrad Gloak. No. S421 Butler street, is a young man, with bis black hair cut exceedingly short all over his bead, except right In front, where a stiff bank projects over his forehead. He thrust bis hands in his pockets and glared at the Judges as if be would like to jump over the bar and "scrap" with them. He says he will accommodate travelers if be gets a license. The house, which ho has occupied for five weeks, was built for a saloon, and belongs to the Hans heirs. Until the first of the year Bltt ner kept a grocery store in the place, and was on the speak-easy list. John Hollihan, corner ot Stanton avenue and Dresden alley, has been running a grocery store, but has Deen grown sick and weary with the smell of sugar and soap. Dennis Haggerty is the happy possessor of one of the tno licensed houses in the ward. He is a short, pleasant faced, gray headed old Irishman. His place is at No. "5164 Butler street, where he has kept a tavern for 15 years. Strange to say, he is a total abstainer irom intoxicants Mr. ennsty said tnatiur. Haggerty bad apparently obeved the law. "There must have been a great change since 18S7," said Judge Ewing. A. Ingrund, No. 5159 Butler street, is a big man, who wears blue spectacles. He bad one of his eyes burned out at the Lucy furnace six years ago, and on tho advice of his doctor he left mill work. He kept a saloon four jears, was refused a license in 1SSS and sinco that time has been making a living tinkering watches ai.d clocks. He was vouched for by Christian Siebcrt. HE PAID HIS FINE. Mr. Ingrund said it was trno that he was fined in October, 1SS7, for violating the liquor law. "I paid the fine," he said, "but it wasn't right." Patrick V. Judge applies for No. 514G Butler street. There is a restaurant at that place now, but Mr. Judge does not run it. He hopes to run it after May L He has never tried to run a restaurant, but be knows bow to operate a saloon. In 1Ss6 be closed out his saloon and went to work as a conductor for the Citizens' Traction Company. He is tired of that busi ness. It is good for the health, but not re markable for its remunerative features. Thomas McTighe, a short, stocky lad, with a snap in his voice, wants to sell "booze" of vari ous sorts and qualities at No. 5139 Butler street. Thomas never presided in a saloon, bnt several years ago he ran a restaurant in the wicked city of Columbus, O. When the Legislature stopped its nonsense and adjourned sine die, Mr. McTighe packed his grip and returned to Pittsburg. LOOKS LIKE A TRAGEDIAN. John Mclntyre, who applies for No. 5166 But ler street, has the face and bearing of a tragedian. His features are clear cut, his complexion fresh, his silvery hair luxuriant. He was licensed during 1SS8, when Judgjs Ewing and White presided together, but one year ago, when Judge White played alone hand. Mr. Mclntyre was whitewashed. He nailed up bis shutters and bolted bis door, and for the past year ho has entered his barroom only to brush away a cobweb from the ceiling or a bitter tear of regret from bis ere. Philip Stculer. Nos. 5202 and 5204 Butler stieet, furnished the Court with the rather stale information that he "intended to start a hotel." After long cogitation nights and con sultation with neighbors by dav. be has deter mined to name bis new house the Eighteenth Ward Hotel. Mr. SteuW has lired in Pitts burg IS years, and having accumulated a magni ficent fortune in the plumbing business, he has spent SIC. 000 in building and furnishing a hotel. He has bad no hotel experience, but he is not afraid to experiment. Martin Shuster, No. 5130 Butler street, would not get a license if tbo-e faTors of Fortune were bestowed on account of personal appear ance. Three jears ago he was flourishing in the saloon business, when the cruel Bi-odks law cut bim down in his bloom. Since then bo has toyed with a cigar store, but says be has sold no beer. He acknowledges that he gets about a dozen bot tles a week for himself. ALSO TAID THE FINE. Joseph Sipper, No. 5125 Butler street, has been running a restaurant and poolroom since the Brooks law came in. He did not apply in 1SSS. the chief reason being that he was con ricted, in January, 1SS3, of the illegal sale of intoxicants. He paida fine and costs. When Michael Stack was called. Attorney D. Reardon stated that Mr. Stack's wife was very ill and her husband conld not leave her. He aked that Mr. Stack might be heard later. "Bring in some affidavits," said Judge Ewlng. John Utzig, No. 53C3 Butler street, kept a li censed house until May 1, 1S89, and since that time he enjojed a trip to Europe, to visit his parents. Wife and babies staid at home. Mr. Christy asked if the witness had not been re turned by Constable Rodgers, in December. 1S8S. for illegal sale. The witness denied all knowledge of such an affair. When the list was completed. Judge Ew inp said to Attorney H. T. Watson, wno had ap peared for nearly all the Eighteenth ward ap plicants: "Yon are a sort of proprietor out in that ward. Here we have a dozen applicants in three blocks on Butler streer. What are we going to do with them? How many licenses ought to be granted in that ward?" Mr. Watson blushed. He was in an embar rassing position. He could not compromise his clients and political constituents. Finallv be said: "I am unable to say. Your Honor. How ever. 1 will say this, there ought to be more public houses in the ward than there are now. There are only two, and that accounts for the large number of speak-casies." Mr. Watson is tho only attorney who has yet been honored by the Court with an invitation to suggest how many licenses should be issued. SELECTING A SITE. Why the Johnstown Hospital Commission Leaves for the Vnllcr To-Day. The State Flood Commission adopted a mo tion made by Mr. James B. Scott at its last meeting to expend 540,000 for the erection of a permanent and well-equipped hospital at Johnstown, believing that such an institution is a positive necessity in the Conemangb Val ley. Governor Beaver appointed the following gentlemen to act as the committee to secure a site and award contracts: James B. fccott, Reuben Miller and Francis B. Reeves, of Phil delphia. Pursuant to appointment, Messrs. Scott and Miller will leave for Johnstown this morning at S o'clock, meeting Mr. Reeves on their arrival. Mr. Scott said yesterday that the meeting was simply to examine and decide upon the most available site. He was asked whether there was any prospect of a site being donated for the purpose, but replied that he had not heard of such a prospect, but that if a site was given it would allow the entire sum to go to the building. Concerning the need of a hospital Mr. Scott said: "The people of Conemaugh Valley have sustained such shocks to their systems that a hospital is a positive necessitv. Secretary Kremerbasput in more time at Johnstown than anyone connected with tho Flood Com mission, and he has said tome that the surviv ing population of the Conemaugh Valley seem abnormally sensitive to attacks of diseaso of any nature. Many have been permanently in jured from exposure, and it is really a wonder that hundreds did not become insane. It will be a practical plan to take care of those who become sick anywhere iu the valley, and tho State Board of Health indorses the commission hospital. "The Cambria Iron Company maintains a hos pital for the beueht of injured emplojes, but the establishment of a public hospital at Johns town is a geographical necessity. So soon as the site is selected the building will be pushed." WESTIKGU0USE JiOT IN IT. OOiclaU of the Local Company Never Ilenrd of the Electric Trail. A telegram from Boston yesterday stated that the Edison and Thomson-Houston Electric Companies were about to form a trust, and tbat overtures bad been made to the Westing house people to join with them. It was also claimed that the Westinghouse Company would not be unwilling. The capital stuck would be $50,000,000 on which a dividend of 10 fier cent could be realized and both the electric ight and railway interests would be combined in the business. George Westinghouse, Jr., and Superintend-' ent Pease are out of the city, but Mr. Twom bley, who is next in authority in the local com pany, said j esterday, when asked about it, that the proposed trust was news to him, and so far as his company was concerned they were not in it. He thought it was the usual canard got ten up one day to be denied the next. Other electricians do not take much stock in the al leged combination. Westinghouse has been such a vigorous opponent of Edison's that it is believed tbat neither inventor would ever pull together. Indeed Mr. Edison, when here last year, said tbat he would never sell out to the Westinghouse Company or enter into a trust with them. 11 TENAMOVID To Occupy the Carnegie Li brary Wlieu. It is Built. ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING Of the Incorporators of the Academy of Science and Art. SOME AIMS OP THE INSTITUTION The creation of the Pittsburg Academy of Science and Art was accomplished amid much enthusiasm at the Chamber of Com merce yesterday afternoon, a large number of the promotors assisting in the events of the occasion. The inner room of the Chamber was thronged with gentlemen well known in all paths of science and business and social cir cles. Mr. W. B. Negley was chosen as tem porary chairman, and Mr. Charles W. Sco vel temporary secretary, and on motion of Mr. W. L. Scaife, President of the Society of Engineers, the charter granted by the courts was declared accepted. Colonel E. J. Allen moved that a committee of three be appointed to formulate a ticket, and he was appointed, in conjunction with Prof. Very and'Colonel T. P. Roberts. During the cogitations of the committee Dr. W. J. Holland lucidly sketched the in ception of the academy, and described the visit to Mr. Carnegie, at which the plan of a federation of the numerous societies of Pittsburg was laid before that gentleman. His reply, that in Pittsburg's free library plan ample provision would be made for the housing of tho various societies if brought to gether in one body, bad furnished the incentive for the business of the day. AFTER A TENANT. "We are here," said Dr. Holland, "to provide a tenant for tho magnificent accommodations that that liberal and large-hearted gentleman has assured to ns by the appointment of a special committee to take care of us on the Pittsburg Free Library Commission. The I presence of so many of our associate members is cx.iremejy eacuuraipuuuu we auau buii. vu. with nearly 250 members, a good income as sured and bright prospects. The Academy of Sciences can be made a powerful factor in the intellectual progress of this community, and its membership is a guarantee that its werk as an educative agent will be well done." Colonel Allen, from the Nominating Commit tee, reported the following ticket: President, W. J. Holland; Vice Presidents, George A. Macbeth. John A. Brasbear; Secretary, G. H. Clapp: Treasurer, C. C. Mellor; Executive committee, tnree years, wimamxnaw, jr., w. L. Scaife, J. D. Shafer, James B. Scott; two years, C. J. Clarke, F. C. Philip, Joseph R. Woodwell, Charles Davis: one year, C. G.Mil nor. W. S. Bell G. S. Orth. T. L. Hazzard. The Secretary was instructed to cast the ballot as above. After a short discussion of tho by laws, thb permanent officers succeeded, and President Holland made an address expressive of thanks for the honor conferred. Th9 President What is your pleasure, gentle men? Mr. Brash ear Please request Superintendent Follansbee to give us some oxygen. Amid laughter the windows were opened. Mr. C. C Mellor suggested tbat a committee to revise the by-laws and bring them up to date be appointed. The chair appointed Messrs. Mac beth, Mellor, Brashear, Shafer and Davis. NOT THE BIGHT IDEA. Matthew B. Riddle was called upon for a few remarks. He said tbat certain persons were representing tbat the Academy of Arts and Sciences was now or would be run in the inter ests of capitalists or wealthy bookworms, drawing invidious distinctions against poor people and taxpayers in moderate circum stances. "That proposition," said Mr. Riddle, "1 stand ready to combat most emphatically. The Academy of Arts and Sciences is designed to be a rallying ground for the brain workers of this community. The proposition that capital is the product of labor is wholly erroneous, to my mind. Capital is the product of brains, labor being merely an incident. Mere force seldom achieves anything, but its intelligent direction achieves wonders. Not only does a workingman of the present dav sret more dollars than a quarter of a century since, but they purchase more. Why? Because there is more of the brain figuring in the ethics of industrial economy. "We are getting along better because of brains. Both labor and capital owe brains a tremendous debt one that is still due and can never be paid. Can it be disputed that it is a sound proposition ,which says tbat tho brains of a community must be fustcred? It may be said that it is unjust to tax poor people. A mo ment's reflection will show that they are the ones because the most numerous class that will receive the greatest benefit. There is also the element of relaxation from other varieties of labor figuring in this pan. The mind be comes more active under the stimulus of study, and the people of Pittsburg will shortly have the best advantages within their grasp. I am certain incy win improve it. AN IlirOKTANT FIEL1. Thave been accused of too much plain speaking in this community, but I cannot help alluding to a very important field in which this Academy can work. I refer to the sons of wealthy men who are growing up in idleness because their fathers took care to remove the necessity for an occupation from their path. I have heard expressions from agonized mothers which lead me to think that if the Academy of Sciences w ill give these young men an occupa tion or pursuit it will be a noble achievement. If we can't do any better, let us givethcina fad.' Even if it's only catching butterflies like Friend Holland's, it would do." There was loud applause and hearty laughter at Dr. Riddle's home-thrust at the entomo logical pur.-uits of the President, wno looked quite prepared to do battle for insectirora. Prof. John A. Brashear, was greeted with cheers when be arose in response to a call from the Chair. He made a rattling speech, punctuated with vociferous applause. He said: "While 1 do not differ with Dr. Riddle as to his views in regard to tho provision of em ployment for youthful minds, I.want to make a special plea fur the poor youths of this com munity, of which I was ono. We must tempt and persuade the sons of poor men within our doors. Those who have tne germ of ambition within their breasts will need no encourage ment to seek our doors. But those who could be capable of noteworthy achievements, were their attention aroused by scientific subjects, must be tho class of young men for wnoin we must reach out. Some ot the noblest minds I know of are either in or from our rolling mills, and the self-educated men in this com munity are making rapid strides toward replacing the decendants of wealthy men who are supinely consent to expend without be coming producer. MUST BE OPEN TO BEAINS. "This institution must open its doors to brains, whether clothed in fustian or broad cloth. Many of us who are here have como up from poverty, as I did, and, although some of us are not burdened by riches as yet, wo are on the right road, and tbe brains of Pittsburg have made a lasting impression on tbe'worla, andare adding daily and hourly to our city's wealth and repute. "I did a very important piece of work for Mr. Edison, the Wizard ot Mcnlo Park. He wrote mo a lengthy letter, thanking me and making an offer to build for me, near New York, the finest scientific laboratory in the world. He closed by referring to my 'hiding myself in Pittsburg.' Why, gentlemen, some of the noblest achievements in scionce are owed to Pittsburg citizens. We must foster these bright minds among us, and evenassist ourneedy Drain workers while they are investigating and experi menting in those, fields which will enhanco our wealth when perfected. Let me give you an instance: My lensemakerisa very young man, who was taken outof a Soutbside glass factory and who bad never done anything but press glass into various shapes, and yet he is tbe finest workman in the world, and to prove my assertion I to-day forwarded a package of optical lenses to the Colonial University of New South Wales. There was no other place In the known world where they could obtain those lenses but tbe little shop in Allegheny. Cheers. It is no credit to myself, because I didVt make them. But it proves tbat there are hundreds of bright minds which can excel in scientific fields if properly encouraged. ONE OP THE PHOTOTYPES. "I am a member of the Brooklyn Institute, referred to by our president as a prototypo of what our academy can be. On almost every night in the winter lecturers give well consid ered discourses upon scientific suDjects. and that is one thing we should endeavor to attain in this academy. We shall all be brought closer together, and seeing Bishop Whitehead and Dr. Riddle in amicable converse before me, leads me to hope tbat science can even mellow theological asperities." Bishop Cortlandt Whitehead was called up on, and gracefully disclaimed all thongbt of theological asperities. He said: "Mr. Presi dent, I take it that this academy is going to rovo a gathering place for all who love their ind,all who would encourage the education of the species. Early in this plan I ventured to express the hope that it would include all kinds of literature, but since I see only arts and sciences outlined in tbecbarter. I infer that the literature will bo that pertaining only to art and science. The minds of mankind are all subject to tbe broadening process, and tbe clergy are in the van on tbat head; far more so than scientific men, who are. by nature and ed ucation specialists. Does that answer Mr. Brashear's hint as to 'mellowing theological asperities'? This institution has a grand future to bo wonted our, and we are embarked under favorable auspices." AS TO SCIENTIFIC LECTURES. Prof. S. P. Langiey was invited to give his views. He confined himself to suggestions as to scientific lectures, expressing the opinion tbat lectures should not be given gratuitously, as it had been bis experience that things for which people bad to pay were appreciated in exact proportion. The dissemination of knowl edge was always more successful when it was under such auspices. People in pursuit of in formation were always Hilling to pay their score. Mr. John W. Beatty was asked to treat of tbe art phase of the academy, and made a strong plea for the encouragement of young persons who were striving in the thorny path besetting all such aspirants, and with the limited opportunities Pittsburg had heretofore furnished. He argued for the provision of ampler information and subjects ot study, and was applauded heartily. On motion of Mr. George A. Macbeth, the formal thanks of the Academy of Arts and Sciences were conferred unon The Pittsbukg DisrATCH for the publication of the legal notices required, and t the firm of Knox i Reed, attorneys, for their services in the mat ter of incorporation. The meeting then ad journed, to meet in annual session on the third Tuesday of May. CAN'T DSE ONE TRACK. Tbe Pittsburg nnd lilt. Oliver Incline Plane Company Submits More Testimony. There was another bearing before the mas ter, D. F. Patterson, Esq., in the equity suit of the Pittsburg and Mr. Oliver Inclined Plane Company against tbe Pittsburg Inclined Plane Company. The examination of Engineer Von Wagner was concluded. About tho only new thing elicited was the fact that he had been lent to the Pittsbnrc and Mr. Oliver Inclined Plane Company to make tbe survey. Ho looked to the Iron City Bridge Works for bis pay. Joseph Keeling, Jr.. was recalled, and he said he and his father had granted rightof way to the Pittsburg and Mt. Oliver Inclined Plane Company, a month or two before Secretary Grimes applied for the same thing for the Pittsburg Inclined Plane Company. Keelings refused but their attorneytnld them they might as well submit, so Grimes filed a bond and tbe matter was settled. A resolution to take ac tion on the building of the plane Keeling testi fied was passed at a meeting in February, but Secretary Beach died and did not write out bis minutes. Witness read from the minutes of a meeting held in May to show tbat the matter had been subseauentlv rectified. It was esti mated tbat tbe plane would cost about 200,000. Keeling said that the Pittsburg Inclined Plane Company got into plaintiffs line and has been nsing it quite regardless since. He said the infringement was mainly in the line of bis property. The general drift of bis testimony was that the Pittsburg Inclined Plane Com pany is cuckooing tbe Pittsburg and Mt. Oliver Railway Company out of its nest. Daniel Beach, Secretary of tho Mr. Oliver In clined Plane Company, successor to his fatbor, testified tbat the latter had given him bis min utes embodying the resolution spoken of passed at tho meeting when the line of road was surveyed by Wagner and adopted. They were in lead pencil, and witness was directed to copy them into the regular minute book. He neglected to do so, and diligent search since his father's death has failed to disclose the notes. President Schultz was recalled and testified that he was present at a meeting of the Pitts burg and Mt. Oliver Inclined Plane Company when Von Wagner's plan of route for a new plane was adopted, and also tbat he had nego tiated the right ot way through the Keeling property for $12,000. A CHANCE TO EXPLAIN. Why Jnraea Founaggo Bna to Appenr In C'onrt This Morning. This morning James Founagge, who as saulted his benefactor, Joseph Marofskli, will appear before Alderman McKenna, to answer to tbe charge of felonious assault. It appears that Founagge had been staying at Marofskii's nouso for a day or so, and upon his return, night before last, in a drunken condi tion, abused tbe landlord, who thereupon de manded a week's board in advance. Founagge became enraged at this, and attacked Marofskli, who defended himself as best he conld with a poker, inflicting a slight injury upon Founaggo's neck. Founaggo wrested the implement from bim and dealt him a heavy blow which knocked him senseless, and then fled to the police station, claiming pro tection. Mrs. Marofskli aroused her husband finally, and accompanied bim to Dr. Hieber's office, where several stitches were taken in the scalp. At a late hour last evening a Dispatch re- Sorter called upon Dr. Hieber and learned tbat r. Marofskli was tbe leading Pole in that neighborhood, and that his character was ex cellent. The doctor had told Mr. Marofskii that he should not remove the stitches from bi3 wound for three or four days, but he told tbe reporter that Marofskii would undoubtedly be able to appear before Alderman McKenna this morning to prefer charges against Founagge.

Tlio Destructive, Power of the New Dynamite Boat is Terrific A SHELL ENOUGH F0R.AN IRONCLAD Captain Steete Says Americans Can Make first-Class Ships. BUILDING K0ADS IN WEST TIEGINIA The genial and original Captain Joseph Steele, of Cramp & Sons, the Philadelphia ship builders, arrived in the city last even ing to sojourn here for awhile. He was as signed to his old room at the Anderson Hotel, and was fonnd as usual by the re porters, leaning against the hotel counter, entertaining a crowd of drummers with quaint and curious remarks abont things in general. Bnt his favorite subject is ship building and Government vessels, and when he talks about either, what he says is au thoritative. It was the Captain who tested the new dynamite boat, the Vesuvius, a few weeks ago, on the Delaware river. Iu talking of the event and the results, he said: "The boat is a perfect success. Such an en gine of warfare with such destructive powers is simply terrific. One of the shells has strength enough to split asunder the laigest man-of-war afloat, and the beauty of it is that you are not liable to be blown up yourselves, as so frequently happens in torpedo boats, if a snag is struck. mo as a house. "When tho five and a half second fuse was fired off and it struck the water a mile and a half ahead of us, it threw into the air a pile of mud and water as big as the Anderson Hotel. It was a grand sight, and no heavy vessel could have withstood tbe shock. If tbe shell bad hit a ship every man on board would have been killed. The two and a half fnso raised up a column of water 300 feet high and 20 feet wide. The other shell that ex ploded as soon as it struck the water made a report tbat could be heard for 15 miles. Besides, in firing the fuse, it didn't vary five feet from the mark. These dynamite boats are small, not more than i!0 feet wide, and the claim is mado tbat a good shot from a man-of-war would sink tnem, but suppose you have ten of them instead ot one playing on a vessel like so many hornets, a sting from one of them alone being fatal, and where wonld the bur shin be smashed into smithereens. It is a great boat, a great success, and with a line of these little fellows along the coast any naval attack, no matter how powerful, could easily be warded off. "The Government needs fast war ships, vessels tbat can fight and run away. The Balti more, for example, could go over to England now and lay five coast cities under contribu tion, do any amount of damage, and before the English iron-clads with their slow speed could get a whack at her the Baltimore could bo out of sight, PROSPECTS FOK THE FUTURE. "We expect to have tbe Philadelphia finished by May 1, and tbe Newark will be ready by Au gust. C. P. Huntington the other day gave Camp & Sons a contract to build the Elsol, a 5,000-ton vessel, to run to New Orleans. The Americans can make ships with tho English any day in the week, but even if we had them we couldn't use them. We don't pretend to turn out vessels like tbe English tramps that traverse the seas look ing for freight everywhere. The American in spection laws are stricter than England's, and such boats made by us wouldn't pass. They are not seaworthy, but in bnilding first-class ships tbat depend on the best material and skilled workmanship there is not a foreign country tbat can beat us. Tbe trouble with the American marine is the cost of labor. We pay our sailors $33 per month; the English pay 514. Suppose the American had tbe vessel, could be compete with the Englishman? The answer is apparent. "Tbe present administration is slow with its appropriations. We are still engaged on the work that was laid out for us; by ex-Secretary Whitney. We have had no new orders from Uncle Sam." RAILROAD DEVELOPMENT. Northwestern Lines Contemplate Extensive Improvements. General 3fanager J. T. Gardner, of the Cin cinnati, Sandusky and Mackinac road, was in the city yesterday looking up freight matters and buying supplies. Mr. Gardner said tbat all tbe Northwestern roads contemplated exten sive improvements this summer. The possi bilities of freight are increasing so rapidly that the lines are beginning to find that thev haven't' tho facilities to cope with the traffic Many of tho roads are being ex tended, now towns are springing up, and coal and iron fields are being developed. He looks forward to a period of great prosperity. Mr. Gardner said that in tbe event of the World's Fair going to Chicago, the Western lines intended to greatly increase their facili ties for carrying freight and passengers. A plan was on foot to adopt a general system of cheap excursions is accommodate tbe people. WEST VIRGINIA PROSPECTS. Railroads to Reach All Parts of tho Stnto In a Few Years. Captain R. S. Carr, of Kanawha, was at the Duqucsne yesterday. The contracts for the Charleston and Southsido bridge will be let some time next week. The Captain said a num ber of Pittsburg contractors had bid. The bridge will be for passengers and street cars, with a 400-foot span and 75 feet high. The water in the Kanawha reached 31 feet at the recent rise. Since January the operators in that region have shipped 5,000,000 more bush els of coal than In the corresponding three months of last year. The Captain is proud of West Virginia, and thinks tho State is the greatest coal field in tho world. Inside of a 3 ear, be said, a road will be Duilt that will touch all the counties south of the Kanawha except one. and he predicts that within five years' that all the counties in the State, barring two, will be reached by rail. THE PRINCETON PRESIDENT. Dr. Pntton Tired of Talking Abont Revising the Creed. Dr. Francis L. Patton, President of Prince ton College, arrived hero yesterday morning to attend the banquet of the local alumni given at the Duquesne Club last evening. Tbo Presi dent registered at tho Duquesne Hotel. He declined frankly to discuss revision of the Presbyterian creed, declaring tbat he had al ready said all tbat be intended, but he talked freely about the college. The new course of study, he said, was pleasing faculty and stu dents. This term they have 100 more in attend ance than they had last ONE WAT TO RAISE THE WIND. Conamblo Cnrr's Name Uaed to Borrow Small Amounts Upon. The case against Daniel Sailor, or D. M. Saylor. as bo appears to ha vo signed his name to several orders and letters, and who is charged with forging the name of Peter Carr for So at tho bottom of an order addressed to Emma English, of Third avenue, was called before Alderman McMasters at 3 o'clock yes day aftersoon. Mr. Carr, tho well-known Con stable, was present, as were also Sailor and Emma English and ber housekeeper. Alder man Cassidy. an important witness, was late, and as Mrs. English said she had either lost or burned the $o order. Constable Carr asked for an adjournment of one hour. In which to hunt up Mr. Cassidy. This was refused, and the case was adjourned until next Tuesday. While The Dispatch reporter was in Alderman McMasteis' office, however. Alder man Cassidy walked in. and It transpired tbat Sailor has been apparently writing letters right and left to the keepers of different re sorts in tho First ward, using Cassidv's and other letter beads, according to the office be pretended to write from, and signing himself Carr and Saylor, impartially. These letters ask for sums varying in amount from $3 to $5, as a "loan," in return for which the writer will uso bis "influence." Thev were invariably sent by some friend and messenger, the writer, giving as an exense for not making a persona call tbat it would hurt his reputation to be seen calling. BUILDERS EXCHANGE MEETING. Tbe Wheeling Strike Discussed, bnt Notb t Ing Done About It. Tbe regular monthly meetlngof the Builders' Exchange was held yesterday. Nothing was done outside of the transaction of routine busi ness. Tbe eight-hour movement was discussed In an informal way, but, of course, nothing conld be done about it. The strike at Wheeling also camo in for some discussion. The action of the contractors and planing mill proprietors was commended. It was stated that $250 had been sent to tbe car penters by their National Executive Board, but they bad sent it back, saying that it was not needed yet. WHY THEY GOT IT. That Southern Pipe Firm After PrestiEa in Supplying Plttsbarc A Contract With No Itloney In It Chcnp Southern 1'lg Ironn Factor. The fact that the city has given a contract for cast iron pipe to a Louisville firm has raised the question, can Southern manu facturers make cast iron pipe cheaper than local makers? In speaking on this subject yesterday one of the bidders said: "The Louisville firm has secured this contract at such low rates that there can be no profit in it for them. They were determined to get tbe job at all hazards. There was only a difference of 40 cents between our bids, and if I had Known tbat I would haro seen tbem a few points lower. On tbe other hand, it cannot be denied that Southern pig iron is becoming a serious competitor, and it will continno to he a promi nent factor until the South is built up, and a homo market created. It doesn't cost any more to ship a ton ot pipe than pig iron. In the South their ore is close to tbe furnaces, and they save the transporta tion. The element of labor is not any cheaper there thaii here. They may pay less per man than wo do, but I wouldn't exchange two Northern workmen for five Southerners. "Southern pig iron is sold here for $18 50 per ton. I also make pig iron, and I wouldn't sell It for less than $18. The quality makes the difference in price, but then, I suppose, for rough cast iron pipe the cheap Southern iron will answer all purposes. The freight by rail or river from Louisville here is not as much as people imagiqe. Abont $3 per ton will cover the transportation. Experiments with South ern pig iron have been made by most of the mill owners within the past four years, nut tho degree of success attained is not satisfactory." ACTRESSES MOURN THEIR LOSS. Tbey Sit Down on the Stage at McKeesport nnd Weep Bitterly. A pathetic scene was witnessed in room 41 of the American House last evening, where the remains of Mrs. Samuel T. Jack (Alice Town send), the actress, were lying in a handsome casket. Gathered around the bier, and with stillness of death, sat the members of the Lilly Cl.ty company, who had been for years the com panions of the dead woman. Men and women who bad danced and sung the night before to an overflowing house sat beside tbe corpse, but their grief was so quiet that they did not even converse in whispers. Tbe husband of the dead woman was unconsolablo, and tbe mem bers of bis company did not intrude upon his grief. The body was placed in a beautifnl casket yesterday by Director James Flannery. He will have charge of tbe funeral, which will be held at Oil City to-day. All day yesterday tele grams of condolence from theatrical people all over the country were received by Mr. Jack. Tbe latter thought of disbanding tbe company, but friends prevailed npon bim not to take this step, on account of tbe many engagements ha has made. When they played at McKeesport. Monday night, the members wero not acquaint ed with the death until after tho performance. Many of the women sat down on the stage in their theatrical costumes and cried. HE IS S0RRI FOR ELOPING.

THREE HEN LOADED WITH LIQUOR Give a Conple of Policemen a Pretty Tough Tussle for an Hour. A TRAMP WHO IS SOMETHING OP A BITER There was a very lively time last night abont 11 o'clock at the corner of Sixth and Wood, when three gentlemen named Jerry Sweeney, Joseph Kane and Thomas Will iams attempted to own the center of traffic, whether with the intention of making a site for the new library or a sight of fun for themselves is not known, nor will it be until the trio get sober this morning. They entered Lenz & Kleinschmidt's place about 1(30, and being refused any thing to drink, proceeded to smash the front windows, which feat they accomplished with precision and a great sprinkling of glass, to the great profit of L. A. 300 and the window glass dealers. A call for the police was made, but before the telephone had ceased ringing. Detective Conlson and Lieutenant Robert Dennison were on the ground, while the offenders sought sanctuary in the praye yard of Trinity Church, through the alley. Tbe officers chased the men. and a mellow fugue of whistles was beard a moment after ward. A fight in a graveyard was a novelty, but Conlson and Dennison held on to the three, while the angels on the tombstones, having no hands, flapped their wings in approval of the plucky fight going on, of two against three. Coulson got his man jammed up against a slab which sbowed upon its face tbe epitaph: "Here lies," and the man laid. His co-partner ran np to assist the fallen fighter, and got bis teeth entangled in tbe Detective's right lore finger, with a result which made the science of phlebotomy stand on a new basis. Lientenant Dennison got bis work in quietly, but effectually and maced the belligerents worse than a ward-heeler would a candidate for office, until the three fighters were cap tured by tho sqnad of police, which responded to tbe whistles, and the seraphim on tbe tomb stones twanged loud paeans of glory over the victory of "Brown's Finest." Detective Coulson had his finger dressed, but will not be able to play the piano tor sometime, as the teeth of a tramp are regarded to be par ticularly productive of blood-poisoning.
