THE HTTSBUBG DISPATCH, SATURDAY, ' MARCH 29, 1890. KISSING JN SCHOOL Causes a Break in the Usual Winter Quietness of Cape May. THE REGULAR TEACHER WAS ILL, And the Substitute Was Not Able to Con trol the Bad Eovs. OSCULATION OX A WHOLESALE SCALE Indignant Parents Demand the rnnlshment cf the Bash Youths. Bad boys in a Cape Slay school took ad vantage of the absence of the teacher to in dulce in wholesale osculation. The girls vpre indignant and tearful. Tneir parents demand the punishment of the offenders, and an investigation is in progress. Philadelphia, March 28. Cape May is upset, perturbed and distressed, not by the prospects of a dull summer season, but by au osculatory manifestation tli3t was as sudden as it was audacious. Many of the best mammas and papas utter no word of conventional salutation as they pass, but simply content themselves with shooting optical daggers at each other. Cape May is not averse to kissing, as for summers past it lias been tolerant of this pastime when in dulged in with a mixture of moonlight The visitors enjoyed it then, but now the afflic tion has come right home to the residents of the seaside citv. Sounding above the roar of the waves that beat on the Cape May beach, there has gone up within the last few days a fierce cry of indignation from the residents over the sen sational occurrence. It took place in the public school a few days ago, and the sons of several reputable business men of the place transgressed the rules of order and robriety so far as to commit a very, very rash act. A SEAKCn FOR THE GUILTY. The i-chool authorities are much exercised over the affair, and through a rigid investi gation arc making every effort to detect the guilty persons. The principal of the public school is Prof. Charles Le Koy Wheeler, a man of excellent reputation and much ability, 2Sext to him in position and authority is Miss Emma Williamson, a btrict disciplinarian and a well-known pre ceptress in Southern New Jersey. Her de partment is known as the second division of the school, and includes about 50 rosy checked girls and bright-eyed boys, ranging in age from 13 to 1C years. Miss Williamson on Tuesday last was at tacked by a sudden illness, and one of the older scholars in Principal Wheeler's de partment, Warren Hughes, was placed in charge of the second division for that day. "When the children sat down at their desks that morning they were surprised to miss the familiar face of their lady teacher, and to find her seat filled by Master Hughes, who is scarcely 17 years of age. SEIZING THE OrrOKTUJflTT. The mischievous boys winked at one an other, and made preparations for a grand racket. As soon as the youngest class lined tip in front ot the desk, the boys made one grand rush for the pretty girls. The im idoring cries of the young teacher were un heeded and only answered by derisive laughter Seizing the girls, the boys ad ministered to tbem several resounding kisses and rumpled their hair with a reckless dis regard for personal neatness. Acting Instructor Hughes was powerless, and could do nothing with his lawless pupils. Before Principal Wheeler arrived upon the scene the girls began to cry loudly and protest that they were going to tell their mammas and papas. On the approach of J 'rot. Wheeler the guilty urchins slunk back in their seats to escape detection. The cry ing girls pointed out the offenders, but the yuuugsters innocently denied that they had taken a hand in the affair. When the school was dismissed the girls told their mammas, and, of course, the whole story reached the cars of the papas, who swore that punish ment should be meted out to the audacious youngsters. ALL VERY IXniGN AJTT. A ong these indignant fathers the most vehement are Eiward Townsend, one of the wealthiest men of the quiet city by the sea; John Benezet, a prominent business man, and Louis D. Stevens, the scion of one of the oldest families of South Jersey. They appeared before the school board and made complaints against the sons of President of Council Joseph P. Henry. Maskel Ware, Cape May's most progressive contractor and builder, George C. Lovett, a leading busi ness man, and the boys of other prominent citizens. They demanded that speedy pun ishment be imposed on the youthful offend ers. The School Board held a star-chamber meeting on Wednesday night in the highest story in the big school building. The ac cused boys were arraigned and all pleaded not guilty. The fathers ot the girls were present and loudly called for justice. After discussing the matter until midnight the School Board was nonplussed and adjourned to meet on Saturday night The affair has created a sensation in the little seaboard town, and the fathers of the girls and those boys are at dagger points. YESTERDAY'S ACCIDENTS. Ono of Thrm Fntnt nnd Several Others of a Serlons Natnrc. John J.

The gallows on which Bartholomew will expiate his crime April 9 has been finished. The murderer was shown the structure, and after examin ing the gallows Bartholomew remarked tliat it would be a first-rate thing on which to slaughter hogs "I'm a butcher and have slaughtered quite a number of hogs in my dav and should know." He then ex pressed a desire to see thetrap sprung, and the smooth working of the instrument caused him to turn pale. ThnAceof Clnbu. See announcement in advertisement on Page 8 of this issue.

A Tnnkce Girl Follow. Ilrr Fnlthless Lover to Pittsburg and Pnys Their Weddlna Eiprnse. A Gnnrdlnn Needed for the Bt-iilr. There was only one marriage license issued in Allegheny county yesterday, but that one made things hum in the Register's office while it lasted. The applicant was Thomas Williamson, a handsome coach man. He was almost a six-footer, and had light hair and blue eyes. He, however, was only an applicant bv request The moving spirit in the plav was Miss Minnie Mc Neight, of Brookline, Mass. She is a member of a good family there, and is backed by a handsome bank account. Williamson had also been a resident of Brookline, and there the couple had learned to love each other. The young man, realizing the difference in their positions, believed marriage im posible, and fled to Pittsburg. The girl, however, did not regard the matter in the same light, and continued to hunt her lover. The matter was put in the hands ot the family attorney, A. H. Reed, of Boston. He finally heard the man had come to Pittsburg, and communicated with Detective Heiuer. The detective located the man, and answered the Brookline people. In response, vesterday Miss McNcight, ac companied by her aunt, landed in the de tccti ve's office. She was a charming blonde, and, although under nge, possessed a fine bgure. A warrant was at once taken out for Williamson's arrest He was brought into thcoffice, and after the first touching scenes of their meeting, the younc man was asked to play leading man iii a marriage ceremony, or go back to Boston under arrest He ac cepted the former offer, and the couple started for a license. As the girl was a minor in Pennsylvania, they appeared in Orphan's Court, " where Detective Heiner was appointed the girl's guardian. His consent to the marriage was readily obtained, and a license was issued to ihem. Then they went to Alderman McMaster's office where they were united. The girl was happy and the man was satisfied. The bride produced a roll of bills and the couple took the first train East THh' 1101 ELS CK0WELD. Turning Gnrsts Awnj I n Dnllr Occnrrenco in Pltlsbnrc The hotels of Pittsburg are crowded to overflowing. Every night people are turned away from the Anderson and Duquesne. For the past two years the proprietors ot the Anderson have tried to secure the prop erty adjoining the hotel on Penn avenue. Their purpose is to build an annex to ac commodate their business. Chief Clerk Crosby remarked yesterday that it wouldn't cost much more to run the house if they had 100 more rooms than it does now. An amusing incident occurred at the An derson the other night A pompous old citizen grabbed the book with a flourish, and started in to register his name. "Did you telegraph for a room, 113," the clerk asked. "That's all right, young man," the old chap answered. "I have money," and he threw down on the counter several one dollar bills and a few pieces of paper. one for von. but I can give you a cot. "You are mating a mistake, young man," the old fellow continued. "You don't known me." "Well, who are you?" With a show of pomposity and a flourish of the hands, he pronounced the epitaph under which he travels. It was an ordinary name, bntthc clerk confessed he didn't know him. "But that wouldn't makeany difference," he replied. "If I had a room I would be glad to assign it to you." A fLUlD STDJ1P EXTUACT0E. How nn JMIrshcnlnn Throvo In the Fine Woods ofllie Morlliweai. New uses for petroleum and its byprod ucts are being found almost monthly. One is as a stump extractor. An Alleghenian named Murray conceived a plan to make money with but little expenditure of the sweat of his brow. He is said to have suc ceeded admirably in the Northwest, where there is some very nice land covered with pine stumps, which are not only an eyesore, but a big loss to cultivators. Murray reasoned that if they were saturated with benzine they could be burned with little effort. He experimented and found his fertile brain had borne fruit He then got a supply of benzine and adver tised it as the Great American Stump Ex tinguisher. He had an instrument fabri cated by which He could perforate a stump in a minute or two. He would then pour a, auartof benzine into the aperature and close the hole so as to prevent evaporation. In a few hours the benzine would get through all the pores ot the stump if a quart was insufficient ior a very large stump, more would be used. When saturated, he fired tbe stump, and it would burn down into the roots, leaving holes iu their places. In some ot the pioneer villages he got large contracts to remove the stumps from the streets, and made considerable money before the people found that the invention was not patented. As soon as they did, his trade was gone. A SOUIUSIDK RAID. Four Inmate of a House In BrownsloYrn Locked Cp Last Night. Officer Thomas Byron raided the house o Mrs. Kate Dempster, on South Thirty-third street, last night at 10 o'clock. The officer had been attracted to the house by the cry of murder raised by the little daughter of Mrs. Dempster. Joseph Graff and Alfred Dempster, who claimed to be Mrs. Dempster's husband, got into a fiht which looked for a while as though it might end seriously. All of the inmates were placed in the Twenty-eighth ward station house. TWENTY KILLED BI NAPHTHA. A Disastrous Explosion Destroying nn Entire Trnln In Rus.ln. BT DUXLAF'S CABLE COMrAJfT.

ALL ARE HUSTLING. Andrews, Hastings, Delamater and a Host of Others Watching THE PHILADELPHIA DELEGATION. A Candidate for Second Place Also on the Field of Action. TO TALK WITH QUAY AT THE CAPITAL. The Conference Tbat Had Been Arranged for is Sow Declared OIL A number of. the State Republican lead ers, with several aspirants for various offices, are gathered at Philadelphia. The local managers of that city nave so far declined to commit themselves as to the fight for Governor. They will talk the matter over with Quay at Washington. rsrcciAL TELioniM to Tn DtspATrir.i Philadelphia, March 23. William H. Andrews, Chairman of the Republican State Committee; State Treasurer-elect Henry K. Boyer, Walter Lyon, United States District Attorney for the Western District of Pennsylvania; Charles A. McKee and Arthur Kennedy, of Pittsburg, who are regarded as Senator Quay's leading lieutenants in the western part of the State, will leave this city to-morrow morning ior Washington to visit Senator Quay. Collector of Internal Revenue David Martin and Charles A. Porter, Chairman of the Republican City Committee, who are Senator Quay's recognized lieutenants in this city, went to Washington to-day in company with Receiver of Taxes Captain John Taylor. When alt these persons come together it is expected tbat a complete un derstanding will be reached regarding the political situation iu this State. A CHANGE of plans. It was at first given out tiiat Senator Quay would come to this city and meet his lieutenants, and then go to his home at Beaver, but important legislative and political business has caused a change of programme, and the conference which was to have been held at the Continental Hotel will be held at the Quay headquarters at Washington. Senator Delamater and General Hastings, the leaders in the race for the Republican nomination for Governor, were both in the city to-day, and made their headquarters at the Lafayette Hotel, where each was called upon by numerous friends. State Senator Louis A. Watres, of Lackawanna, a lead ing candidate ior Lieutenant Governor, also put in an appearance, and as if to show his impartially in the fight for Governor, break fasted with Hastings and afterward dined with Delamater. TJp to date there has been but little stir among the city Republicans regarding the election of delegates to the State Conven tion. The reason is that the local leaders have been waiting for Senator Quay to re turn to have a talk with him before begin ning the contest. THET AEE TOR HASTINGS. Among those who called upon General Hastings were James McManes and Wil liam R. Leeds. They are said to favor Hastings' nomination, but have not yet made any public declaration in favor of any of the candidates. Colonel Wendell P. Bowman, of this city, and Theophilus S. Wilson, of Clarion county, spent some time with the General. Senator Delamater's visitors were ex-City Chairman Allen B. Roerke, T. Theodore Walton, Cadwalader Biddle, Water Lyon, of Pittsburg; Senator Robinson, of Dela ware county; Henry K. Boyer, Representa tive Bliss, of Chester county, and John A. Glenn, of the Auditor General's Office at Harrisburg. Both Hastings and Delamater have accepted invitations to be present at the Young Republican Club's reception on April 9. SUPPORTING THE BLAIR BILL. The American Mechanics Will Send a Petition to Congress. A council ot the American Mechanics on the Soutbside has taken an initiatory step to have a convention of representatives of all councils in this Congressional district for tho purpose of sending a petition to Congress in support of the Blair bill. It is presumed that although the bill has been defeated once, it will be reconsidered and tbat another attempt will be made to pass it It is said that the Mechanics all over tho country favor tho passage of the bill and many councils have sent resolutions and petitions to tbe Representatives in their respective districts The first move for concerted action has been made on the Soutnside. It is likely that a con vention will be called within the next two weeks. A committee may be sent to Washing ton to work in the interest ot the bill, or the convention may simply send a petition, asking Congress to pass tbe bill. Grip nnd Pnssword Notes.

The Chrysanthemum Euchre Club met at Miss Lizzie Pchnder's, Twenty-second and Carson streets, last Thursday evening. Of course all passed a very pleasant evening. This club Is noted for knowing how to pass tho hours in a pleasant way. CAUGHT ON THE HILL. Newsy Itesis From Knoxville, Allen town, Mt. Washington, Etc.

Firth, the Knoxville pharmacist, is snugly ensconced in his new store at the corner of Amanda avenue and Charles street Mrs. Huntley will deliver a lecture on temperance under the auspices of tho South btreet M. E. Sunday school to-morrow after noon at 2 o'clock. Miss Jeanette Gilmore, of Allentown, and Mr. David J. Mercer were married Thurs day evening. Both are well known young people of the hill district Mr. and Mrs. George W. Beam, of Allen town, will celebrate their wooden wedding April 8, at their pretty home on McLane street. Tbe invitations read for 8 o'clock. Captain McClelland, of Boyd street, Knoxville, died Thursday. The Captain was well known in that vicinity and leaves many friends. He was about 60 years old. The Brownsville Road Company will soon have things in shape to pave Southern avenue between tne tracks of tho Suburban Rapid Transit Company. Fire brick will be used. It is quietly rumored that there will be a wedding in Allentown, April 15. The parties are both younc society people and are just now not anxious to have publicity. Look out for in vitations next week. Quite a littlo event on the hill this week was tho surprise party tendered Miss Emma Koch, by about 60 couple of her friends. Wednes day evening. Euchre was the absording feature of the evening. Stephen Struuz carried off one booby and Mr. Sorgthe other. The head prizes were won by Mrs. Julius Koch and Miss Alma Sorg. A dainty luncheon at 12 was served. The residents of Mt Washington are just now living on hopes. The mad. axle-deep in the streets, has become so much a topic of fill-in-time conversation as the weather. When you speak to a citizen about the mnd he says: "Oh, well, you know the streets will be paved soon." On looking about it is bard to see how they can be satisfied with hopes of something so indefinite, as it seems. However, Grand view avenue is to be paved in tbe sprlue or summer, and tbat is a great lift bouthem avenue will bo next. The Board of Viewers' were on the Moun t Wednesday fixing the dam ages for grading Shllob street The Citizens' Committee of Mt Oliver and vicinity, organized to find ways and means to build a boardwalk out Southern avenue to the third toll gate, report that the subscriptions are coming in steady and the walk will soon be built. The walk will be a three-stringer one, four feet wide. It will bo about three miles Ions and will cost something over S4.OU0. The committee having the matter in charge are: William Baxmeyer, Fred Baxmeyer. John M. Phillips, August Ahlborn, John Tlieobold, Rev. Father Fisher. Fred Hempe, John H. Meyer. Charles D. Schaub, John Phillips, Henry Fncke, Rev. James Kirk, Arthur Lowe. Another meeting of the committee will be held next Tuesday evening at the office of the Mt Oliver Insurance Company. The Woman's' Gymnasium Club, of Mt Washington, will give two entertainments, April 10 and 11, for the benefit of the club library. The club has been a great success so far. Instead of the interest dying after a month or so. as some prophesied, it has increased. The ladies all say that it has been of benefit to them in more ways than one. In the first place it serves as a social organization in disguise. Again, the prime object, physical development has made rosier cheeks, lighter steps, less stooped shoulders and better health ceucrally. This is only the first term, but tbe effects are very evident Miss Blancno Jones is the in structor of the club. The present term will soon close. The next term will include more difficult exercises, and possibly tbe use of other apparatus. Yesterday was Miss Annie E. Hershman's last day as teacher in the Mt. Washington schools. She has resigned to accept a position in the office of the Chronicle-Telegraph, of which her brother Is business manager. Miss Hcrsbman was a pupil of the Mt. Washington schools and when tho office of "floitmg" teach er was created, some two years ago, she was given that position. She has given the most excolleiu satisfaction in her work and all her co-w orkcr." and friends who have been accus tomed to meet her in the schools are sorry to lose her, It has not been decided who will suc ceed her. Tncre seems to be some difference of opinion in regard to the attain ments necessary to , till tho position. In some schools comparatively inexperienced teachers have served as "noatinc teacher," where most of the time is occupied In clerical work. The office would signify that the teacher should be able to take chargeiof any room from the grammar grades down, and oftentimes their duties are that of an assistant principal. The salary is the same as that de partment from which the teacher is taken. Released by tbe Inspector. Officer Hanley yesterday afternoon ar rested M. Simpson, Frances Washington, Alice Martin, Flora Martin and Sadie Magrew on Elm street, near Wylie avenue. They were sent to the Eleventh ward station and charged with disorderly conduct. They were afterward released by order of Inspec tor McAleese. Will Tnkc Cliargo April 1. The newly appointed Postmaster of Al legheny, James A.

Well-lo-Do Citizens to Combine and Obtain Future Homes. A SITE FOR MANY FINE RESIDENCES The JN'oble Farm to be Laid Oat and Sold by a Local Company. A KIDE 0TEK THE SUBURBAN EAILWAT At a meeting to be held in the German Savings and Deposit Bank Monday, at 4 r. M., a new land company will be organized, the directors and officers chosen, and things put in shape to obtain a charter. The name agreed npon, and which will probably be adopted, is the Hermosa Land Company, the term being taken from the Spanish, meaning beautiful. The company will soon close a deal for the Noble farm, in Baldwin township, which will be divided into lots and sold. The company is composed of Southside citizens, many of whom are looking out for future homes, and have thus pooled their interests that they may obtain a residence from the noisy, dirty, lower Southside. If they receive other profit from the plan, so much the better, tbey think. However, it cannot be a monopoly concern, as the limit of stock ta one person is fixed at $5,000, and the total stock will be $100,000 and maybe increased later. The Noble farm, opposite the Southside Cemetery, con tains 8G acres, and the consideration is to be $08,000. This will leave $32,000 ready capital to the company. Seventy-five thou sand dollars stock has already been sub scribed by the following citizens: THE STOCKHOLDERS' NAMES. John Phillips, of the Oliver Iron and Steel Company, J. M. Phillips (his nephew), A. A. Adams, of Adams & Co., J. F. Eruy, of the German Savings and De posit Bank, Alderman C. E. Succop, Alderman J. Martin Shafer, Dr. J. D. Thomas, Fred P.'eil, John J. Freund, John Siebert, Prof. John Golden, John McKain, Henry Miller, Peter Snyder, Mr. Wigman, of the Union Planing "Mill Company, Chas. Breitweiser, Samuel Mil ler, Chas. G. Miller, Jacob Both, Chas. Weber, Theo. A. Weber, Chas. Ott, Albert Breitweiser, William Jones, J. Boyd Duff, Henry Stolenbach, Edward Hayes, Samuel Connor, William Buhland, Dr. M. A. Arn holt, Lawyer T. A. Noble: The plan is one that has been "in the wind" for some time, and until the present has not assumed a definite form. The lots will only be sold on a guarantee that the purchasers will erect a modern house. The Suburban Rapid Transit Railway, whose stockholders are largely included iu the new company, are now figuring to reach the city, or at least to connect with some ot the inclines. Nothing further has developed than given in The Dispatch of December 21, and printed again Friday without de tails or accuracy in a morning paper. In The Dispatch it was then stated that the road was negotiating with the Pittsburg Incline Company for their street charter rights and an arrangement to use the incline to transfer the cars to Carson street, where they would be propelled to the city over the Short Line route. LOOKING FOR AN OUTLET. Nothing has resulted from the negotia tions yet and the incline company is unde cided as to what they will do about a street car line. They at one time stated that an arrangement with the suburban company was possible. Theyhayealsosaidthesame of other plans, so all is in doubt regarding their probable move. Mr. John Phillips said yesterday that the Mt. Oliver incline had no freight accommo dations and so would not answer the pur pose. The Twenty-second street incline is too far out of the way. Branches may, however, be run to connect with each. The whole question is in embryo and it is doubt ful if the incline companies or the electric company have any more definite conception of what will ultimately be done than has been given. There is one possibility hinted at some time ago by TnE Dispatch on good au thority that would change the whole aspect of negotiations. That is the consolidation of the Mt. Oliver and Pittsburg Incline Companies. The Pittsburg Incline Com pany does not deny that there have been negotiations to pool tbe interests ot the two companies, or for one or the other to sell out. The Mt. Oliver people have denied it in a way. The Brownsville road is still Iert to the Surburban company. The two companies are really the same "a distinction without a difference." There is still anpther plan for an outlet, and that is the tunnel route incline scheme from Thirteenth street This has resulted in nothing but talk so far. SOME FUTURE POSSIBILITIES. In regard to the plans of the land com pany, Mr. Phillips said tbat there was no intention, as some have thought, to build another Knoxville, but merely to sell off the lots. Many ot them will be bought by stockholders, it is thought Possibly the company may enlarge their plans later. That is too far in the mazy future to predict aright Negotiations have been made for several farms but as yet they hive resulted in nothing more. Few persons in the old city know any thing of the Suburban Electric Bailway or that it has been in such successful operation for some time. It starts at the first toll gate in Mt. Oliver and runs out Southern avenue past the cemetery into the country about three miles. It will be extended soon to Whitehall, about two miles further. A Dispatch reporter took a trip out the road Thursday. The Daft system with motor un derneath the car is used and the cars made very fast time. The motor man said that a speed of GO miles in 70 minutes had been at- I laiucu unuer uivorauie cuuuiiions. j.ne trip one way now is made iu about 11 minutes. The ride is a delightful one. It is all country from one end of the line to the other, the beautiful residences of John Phillips, Lawyer Noble and a few other less imposing breaking the monotony of the rural surroundings. At one place the car had to slow up to let a cow get off the track. The farmers' chickens are used to the gong, and lazily waddled to one side. At several points along the line boys and women were seen in the fields gathering dandelions for greens. A KUKAL ELECTRIC ROAD. The motor man sat on the lower step of the car with a cup of sandiu bis hand and sprinkled it on the rails while going around curves and up grade. He knew every farmer and teamster along the route, and his "Hello!" was like an echo that followed in the wake of the car. At several points the farmers were raking their fiont yards, burning brush in the orchards and getting ready for spring. One woman was spading upher flower gar den, and summer travelers will doubtless in hale the perfume of sweet scented flowers as they pass that house. At one point was one of the relics of past times, ahalf-way house.run by Mr.Ahlborn. Countless lumber, hay and" farm wagons were drawn up in the yard before the door, and the horses neighed as they visited with each other, while their masters were inside sipping tne sood oiu-iusnioncu aie ana ex changing their late stock of neighborhood news. Trost's Tavern and Buck's Tavern are other landmarks that must soou give way to newer things. The old-fashioned sign boards are like those we read about in ac counts of early times in Pittsburg. At tbe end of the line the motor man ran into the store nearby and played with the little boy, got a drink, and'ehatted a little about things "hereabouts." The little boy was going to bring him "Joe's" pipe to smoke, but he didn't care to smoke nnd filled in the time stretching his legs. The store was run on modern ideas. You could buy anything, from a harness or wnshtub down to candy or a lew common remedies. AT THE END OF THE ROAD. Ibe boy who eaw to it that the wheel making the connection with the overhead wire did not flop off went out to the barn and played with the boys who were folding bags. The boys had a regular rough-and-tumble, when it suddenly occurred to the motor boy that time was up and the gong was rung. The motor man climbed on board and the return trip commenced. The motor man was asked if it was necessary some times to put on a car to accommodate tbe farmers in taking their crops to market or bringing hay from the meadow to the barn. He said that they were never bothered in that way at all, though some of the farmers used pretty big baskets. The smoky cloud that rose above the hills cor Id be seen on either hand and defined tbe limits of the lower Southside. Over in the "Dutchtown" district new buildings could be seen here and there, and near the start ing point, Knoxville loomed up into view with houses stretching out in all directions. This is the section that is soon to come under the contractors' hands and be the East End of the Southside, according to the predictions of many. SI10UT S0UTHS1DLNUS.
