The Pennsy "Will Eednce
Pares Beyond East Liberty
TO MEET THE CABLE BATES
A Shrewd Move to Steer Traffic From
Traction Koads.
THE EAST END LEFT IN THE DEAL
The Pennsylvania Railroad has finally
decided to meet the traction roads on their
own ground. Ever since the cable lines be
gan operation the fine local traffic of the
great trunk line ha6 dwindled intoinsienifi
cance. The railroad officials do not deny
this fact, and to the public and depot re
porters it is apparent On April 1 a new
set of reduced rates for two-day excursion
tickets for local points beyond East Liberty,
as far out as Larimer, will go into effect.
The cut all round will be material, and the
result will be that much of the passenger
traffic from places beyond East Liberty that
is now secured by the cable roads, will be
retained by the railroad.
In the struggle for business some facts
have been overlooked. One would imagine
that the cable lines competed with the rail
roads only to the East End, but the officials
soon discovered that manT passengers bought
round trip tickets to East Liberty, and then
cot off there and took the cable road into
the city, thereby saving some money.
HOW THE SCHEME WORKS.
The Pennsylvania road will make no
effort to compete with the street car lines as
far as they run. It wouldn't pay the road
to carry p'eople to East Liberty for 5cents,
so hereafter regular tariff rates will be
charged to this place, but the rates will be
so reduced to the other points that it
wouldn't pay the passenger to get off and
take the cable line.
Yesterday the railroad issued a circular
to agents announcing the cut rates to take
effect April 1. The first objective point is
Torrens. The present round trip rate there,
good for two days, is 25 cents, the new rate
will be 20 cent's; Dallas, present rate, 27
cents, new one, 21 cents; Homewood 28
cents now, will be 21 cents; Brushton, 31
cents, cut rate 21 cents; Wilkinsbnrg 31
cents now, new rate 23, Edgewood 37, will
be 25 cents; Swissvale 40 cents, new rate will
be 28 cents; Hawkins' 45 cents, a cut to 33
cents; Copeland 48 cents, reduced to 30
cents; Braddock 50 cents, cut down to 38
cenU; Bessemer 54 cents, reduced to 42 cents;
Brinton 58 cents now, will be 40 cents; Wall
74 cents, cut to CI centi, and so the reduc
tion runs as Jar out as Larimer. The above
rates will be lor the round trip, good for
two days to the places mentioned.
SOME OF THE SETT RATES.
The present reduced rates to East Liberty
will be abolished. The regular rate is 14
cents, and the round trip will be 28 cents.
It will thus be seen that a passenger can go
to Swissvale for the same rate that he can
go to the East End. 01 course the road ei
pects that East Liberty passengers will buy
tickets to Torrens, and thus save 5 cents on
tbe present rates in force.
An official of the road, in speaking ofthe
change in rates last evening, said: "Since
the 5-cent fare on the cable lines went into
effect our local traffic has fallen off very
much. These street lines actually cut big
swathes into the local revenues, so we have
concluded to slop it Many people would
stop at East Libe-ty and take the cable
road from there to the city, preferring to
put up with the inconvenience for the dif
ference in price. By making our rates in
proportion as low as the cable roads we ex
pect to hold this business. The present
number of fast trains to Walls station will
be maintained.
A .VCT' SCHEDULE COMIXG.
"We are now at work on a new schedule
which will go into effect shortly, but so far
as I know no new trains will be added. It
is possible many of the trains will make
fewer stops than now to East Liberty, and
this will be an immense advantage to our
patrons further out the road. We realize
that we can't compete with the street lines
to the East End, but the traffic that belongs
to us we propose to hold.
"To show how we lost every day, take, for
example, the round trip rate from Wilkins
bnrg to tbe city. It is 34 cents, and will be
25 cents. The passenger could buv a round
trip ticket from Wilkmsburg to East Lib
erty for 15 cents, and, bv taking the cable
road there, could go to and from Pittsburg
for 25 cents saving 9 cents by the change of
pars. By makine the Wilkinsbnrg rate 25
cents instead of 31 cents, we will retain the
10 cents that now goes, in so many instances,
to ttie cable roads. You wouldn't think
people valued 9 cents so highly, but when
they have to make numerous trips it
amounts to considerable. The reduction all
along the line is such that the passenger
won't make anything by changing lines at
East Liberty, and it will save lots of incon
veniences." SO LAW AGAIKST IT.
The new schedule of rates was made by
Special Agent Erringer alter a number of
conferences with Superintendent Pitcairn
and Division Passenger Ageut Watt Kail
roads running between States are not allowed
to charge a higher rate for a shorter distance
than a longer one, but the inter-State law
doesn't apply within States. It was claimed
last evening that a State law forbade such
action on the part of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, but oeveral lawyers consulted
couldn't remember that an act of this kind
was in force. It was stated that the Supreme
Court had decided that it was illegal, but,
on tbe other hand, it is argued that if such
a cane existed the Pennsylvania officials
wonld know it, and tbe reduced rates
would not have been made. The
result is that the splendid local
service of the Pennsylvania road will
be improved, and very low rates will be of
fered to nearby towns. The cable roads will
not lose much, and it will have a tendency
to reduce tbe crowded condition of tbe lat
ter's car1!. The people in the towns affected
are jubilant over the prospect, and they al
ready see their places enjoying a small-sized
boom. The general effect will be to develop
the territory beyond East Liberty, and the
liberal policv of the Pennsylvania road will
be appreciated.
MUST MAKE AN EXAMPLE.
Prisoners Willi Concealed Weapons Fonnd
on Them Will be runishrd.
Lewis Corderlla, of No. 37 Washington
street, and Ross Seeran, who lives at No. 3
Tunnel street, two Italians, were arrested
by Officer Cross yesterday afternoon for
fighting on Washington street They were
locked up in the Eleventh ward station,
charged with disorderly conduct When
Sergeant Berry searched them he found a
large English bulldog revolver, 44-caliber,
and a dangerous looking stilletto on Seeran.
Lieutenant Lewis said that an informa
tion would be made against Seeran for carry
ing concealed weapons, and an example
made of him in regard to the offense. He
said that on almost every Italian that is ar
rested weapons of this description are found
and they want to try and break up the
practice.
Five-Cent Fnrrs nit Turin.
The receipts of the Citizens Traction
road for the week ending March 28, from
5-cer.t fares, are 510,476 20. During the
same week of 1880, when tbe through rate
was 40 cents, the receipts were 58.933 30.
The increase for the week of 1890 was
$1,512 90, and the officials of the company
are more than gratified with the 5-cent experiment
WHISKY WAS RESPONSIBLE.
Ycmis-Iey, Who fliot Himself Saturday
Meat, is Dead He Quarreled With Ills
Wife Wbllo Intoxicated lie rot a
linllrt Through Ills Brnln.
Another suicide is added to the calendar.
Frank Youngsley, who shot himself in the
head in Bloomfield, Saturday night, died
last evening in the West Penn Hospital.
The facts concerning the case are of a pecu
liar character. The deceased was 24 years
of age. He lived with his wife, aged 19
years, at 440 Cedar street, Sixteenth ward.
Mrs. Younesley had been sick for three or
four days. Youngsley drew his money Sat
urday atternoon and, after going to his land
lord and paying his rent, went home, taking
with him a quart bottle of whisky. During
the night he drank considerable of the
liquor and then began quarreling with his
wile. This quarreling ended in the husband
becoming enraged, and picking up some
plates he threw them at his wile.
Mrs. Youngsleythereupon left the house
to seek police protection. She met Officer
Schnltz and informed him what her husband
had done. She did not want him arrested,
but she thought that he had a revolver and
wanted the officer to search him and if he
had onetake it from him. Youngsley had
followed his wife, and as he came up Officer
i Schnltz searched him and found some
cartridges, but no revolver. The couple
then started back home and the officer fol
lowed to see that no barm was done.
As the pairascended the steps, Youngsley
made some remark and Officer Schultz
reached forward to crasp him. At that
moment Youngslev stooped down, and pick
ing up the revolver lrom a step, where he
had evidently laid it when he came out, and
before the officer could grasp him he placed
the muzzle ofthe pistol to his head and sent
a bullet whizzing through his brain. The
man fell back into the arms of the horrified
officer, the blood from the wound squirting
all over the policeman's uniform. Mrs.
Youngsley was too dazed to comprehend the
full meaning of her husband's rash action.
The patrol wagon was summoned and
Youngsley removed to the hospital.where he
died. Coroner McDowell will hold the in
quest to-day.
TWEKTI-PIYE AKD COSTS.
One-Fourth of a Hundred Who Appeared,
and What it Cost Them.
The Central station yesterday morning
was graced by the presence of 25 visitor,
not including the Judge, the officers or
transient lodgers. Eleven of the number
were plain everyday drunks, without any
redeeming feature from hock to soda, and
some of their features from nose to pocket
book were expressionless.
There were ten disorder.lv cases, which
like the believer in a patent medicine look
very different before and after taking. The
$30 'orfeit enjoined in such cases, if paid for
the release of the prisoner, is seldom re
deemed by his appearance, and the sentence
if he cannot get the forfeit will make him
wish he had friends financially able to get
him out before interviewing His Honor,
Judge Gripp.
Among the more interesting cases was
that of John Bradley, who, attracted by
the sentiments of his "Home, Sweet Home"
on High street, failed to materialize the sen
timental portion on reaching it late on Sat
urday night He drove his wife and chil
dren out on the street, and raised a disturb
ance, for which he will keep quiet for 30
days in a place where he will be debarred
from caressing his wife and children with a
club.
A similar sentence was awarded Dan
Sweeney, who was laying claim to the
portable property of a drunken man on Lib
erty street, but Lieutenant Robert Denmson
jumped his claim, landing both.
Two vagrants, who could not persuade
Judge Gripp that they were making time to
get around the world in SO days, got 30 days
each, and Acnes McMinn and J. J. Coyle
will have to make the grand tour in 50 days
now or take the consequences.
TOO MUCII P0WDEE
Must Not bo Stored In the City Warehouses
Hereafter.
Saturday morning, when the fire occurred
at Lang's wagon shop, on Water street, the
powder establishment of D. W. C. Bidwell,
two doors below, had a very close call. In
spector McAleese received a report from Offi
cer Glenn, who patrols the beat on that
street, that while the fire was in progress
Bidwell had removed from the vault in
their building C7 cans of powder, each con
taining 25 pounds. As the law does not al
low anyone to have more than 30 pounds of
powder or dynamite in a building in this
city, the Inspector went to investigate. He
called at the firm's office, but they positive
ly denied the statement, saying the powder
had only been brought in early that morn
ing and had not been in the building when
the fire occurred.
The Inspector continued his investigation
and savs he has learned definitely that
Officer Glenn's report was correct, and that
Bidwells had over 1,000 pounds of powder
in their building when the Are broke out,
and if the fire had reached it before the ex
plosive was removed there would have been
a frightful loss of life.
Chief Brown has received several com
plaints from business men and others
located near this and one or two other
powder companies' offices in this city, and
Inspector McAleese is making some investi
gations that may result in decisive action to
compel compliance with the law in this re
spect A C05STANT VISITOR,
An Apparently Demented Woman Who Re
gards Fittsbnrc Affectionately.
Lizzie Kelley, or Mitchell, as she calls
herself, is for the third time an inmate of
Central station, and her case will now re
ceive some special attention from the police
officials. The girl is demented. Her first
appearance here was on the night of Jan
uary 12, when Officer Mulvebili rescued her
from a crowd of roughs near the Union
depot She was sent to a private family and
subsequently went to Steubenville to'work
in a glass works, but on February 28 she re
tured and was picked up by Police Captain
Mercer in the East End. She was at her
own reqnest sent to Altoona to friends who
would take care of her in her delicate condi
tion. A couple of weeks ago Inspector Mc
Aleese got a letter from her mother, at Coal
Center, saying the girl had married a man
named Devlin, but he had abused her so
that she left him. Mrs. Kelly wanted in
formation concerning her, and feared she
had lallen into bad hands.
The girl returned to Pittsburg Saturday
night and yesterday applied to police head
quarters, but she does not tell a very straight
story in accounting for her appearance.
Her mother will be notified and the Altoona
police will be asked to make some inquiries.

A LIBRARIAN'S WORK
Consists of More Than Keeping Track
of tbe Books in His Charge.
VIEWS OP AN EXPERIENCED MAN.
C. A. Hecker Tells What lie Saw of the
Great Louisville Cyclone.
SOME OF THE HEAETEENDING SIGHTS
Mr. William Bentley, of Allegheny, is a
gentleman who has had a remarkable ca
reer. In his younger days, as a civil engi
neer, he served under and was associated
with the late Lord Napier, of Magdala, and
he afterward traveled extensively through
the East He is a linguist and is thoroughly
conversant with the customs and languages
of many peoples. He served in the field
during the Indian mutiny of 1857-8, includ
ing the battles of Delhi and Lucknow.
Mr. Bentley, who has had oharge of sev
eral important libraries, was yesterday
asked by a DlSPATCn reporter to give his
views on libraries and their Management
He replied as follows: "Libraries, accord
ing to anthentic records, are ot ancient date,
and as, in the sense ot literature implying
an advanced condition of society, they, to
gether with their management, form a prom
inent feature of discussion, a few facts
drawn from personal experience in the
superintendence of libraries and from per
sonal observation may prove interesting
and beneficial to those connected with and
interested in the success of Mr. Carnegie's
gift to Allegheny.
GKEATER THAN POLITICS.
"No intelligent citizen, nor any individual
who feels interested in the library, will fail
to understand that there are questions, more
or less of a municipal nature, in wqich its
usefulness is involved, and which, in the
opinion of the generally interested public,
press upon the minds ofthe citizens of Alle
gheny, and which, in their view, are of
vastly greater importance than that of the
political side of the question, and ousrht to
exercise a mighty influence among the more
intelligent portion of the Select Council in
settling the question of control, and with the
Library Committee in the matter of its man
agement. After the question of control has
been satisfactorily settled comes the selection
ot a librarian, a definition of whose compe
tency was recently given by a mem
ber of Select Council as a man
'who could give out books as required.'
A librarian must be a man ot good
education, one who has full sympathy with
books and reading; he ought to have an ac
quaintance with bibliography, palae
ography and bibliology. While in such a
library as ours these qualifications may not
be considered so imperative as in a large
public library, yet, coupled with a knowl
edge ot languages and literature, they
would be found to be a great acquisition,
and, when combined with an acquaintance
with the theory and practice of library man
agement, ought to go a long way to establish
fitness for the position. He onght to be
conversant with history, geography and En
glish literature, and possess some knowl
edge of literary history, modern lan
guages, Latin and Greek.
ISIPOETAiTCE OP CATALOGUES.
"No library can be complete without a
perfect equipment of catalogues, carefully
compiled. There are many methods of com
pilation, in order to be able to meet the nu
merous requirements for books of people
who may be ignorant or uncertain as to
titles, subjects, authors, etc It has been
conceded that the catalogue of the Mercan
tile Library, Brooklyn, is the most com
plete. The alphabetical system, under the
authors, is simple; the subject catalogue
plan is more complex, but references ought
to be strictly alphabetical in form, and
every book ought to be catalogued and its
title copied from the book itself. This is
very important Many rules have been laid
down to secure precision and uniformitv;
these can be had on application to the
proper quarters. Ladies have been found
to be very accomplished cataloguers.
"A few words regarding the purchase of
books: This can be done from circulating
lists, advertising, at auction sales, consulta
tion of the list catalogues, from the surplus
stock of libraries, and library committees
can procure valuable works on application
to different scientific bodies and heads of
departments under the Government
"Although a library may possess com
plete catalogues, it cannot be considered as
approaching anything like perfection if it
lacks a perfect system of shelf classification.
As to the supply of books, many systems
exist, and the most efficient will be found
on comparrison with those in use by other
similar institutions, and after practice with
the methods and appliances provided."
ROADS THAT DON'T PAL
How the Original Stockholders Are Fleeced
By Jerk Water Ronds.
"Outside of the trunk lines and the
wealthier roads I don't think a line has been
constructed within the past 25 years that has
paid," remarked a Pennsylvania official
the other day. "Certainly the original
stockholders never get a cent, and the road
is generally sold out to a lot of sharks who
first wreck it, and then buy it for a bagatelle.
"This is true of many of the jerk water
roads in Ohio. Usually such roads are
built by men who use other people's money,
that is rope them in, so to speak. It is
operated for awhile and becomes bankrupt.
The stock is not worth the paper it is writ
ten on, and then some richer competitor
comes along and absorbs the little road. The
original stockholders who fondly imagined
they owned a railroad buddenly discover
that they have neither road nor money.
They enjoy the pleasure of seeing others
manipulating their own for a profit which
they iegally and calmly pocket"
IS OLD WESTMORELAND.
The Republican Delegates fllny Go to the
Convention Unlnstructed.
State Senator E. E. Robbins, of Greens
burg, was at the Anderson Hotel for a short
time yesterday. The Senator said that the
Republican primaries in his county had
been fixed for June, and he thonght the
delegates would be uninstructed. This pre
cedent had been established when Blaine ran
for the Presidential nomination, but he was
not sure that it wonld be followed. So far,
he said, the people in the county have not
thought much about the choice of candi
dates. He knew all the aspirants had
friends there, but which one will win is a
question.
The Senator said also, that Senator Huff
would be the County Republicans' candi
date for Congress. Craig will run in Jeffer
son county, Watson in Indiana, and he un
derstood that Armstrong would present no
man. It will therefore be the same old tri
angular fight
THE LIST STILL GROWING.
Progress of the Contestnnts in tbe Stnyton
Wymnn Fight.
J. W. Brennen, Esq., stated last night
that the work on the preparation of the
Stayton-Wyman Mayoralty contest case was
still in progress, and that the list of illegal
votes was growing very rapidly. He said that,
if Mayor-elect Wyman took the ironclad oath
of office, he would be arrested immediately
for perjury, in order to force the issue of the
contest and save time. Mr. Brennen said
that the contest need not be prolonged over
two months, and that the Stayton contest
would be handled rapidly, in order to force
the attorneys for Mr. Wyman to hnrry the
taking of testimony along.
Northside politicians estimate that ihe
contest will take a long period to be finally
determined. Neither side has much to say
upon the subject

C. A. Hecker Narrowly Escapes Death Near
the Louisville Depot
C. A. Hecker, better known as "Dick"
and brother of Guy Hecker, the well-known
ball player, arrived in the city from Louis
ville, yesterday, on a visit to his brother.
He narrowly escaped the cyclone in the
Falls City, and to a Dispatch reporter last
night he said:
"I had purchased a ticket for Pittsburg,
and was on Seventh street, between Market
and Main, on my way to the Union depot
I was within a square and a half of the sta
tion when I heard an indescribable noise
back of me. The lightning flashed and
crashed in the heavens, and there was a
sound in the air I shall never forget.
I heard a heavy crash in
front of me, and looking down the street I
saw the depot collapse". The wind was
blowing a gale at the time, and people were
hurrying in all directions. I heard some
one say "the depot has blown into the
river," and then there was a rush to the
place. Twqtrains stood in the sheds and
they were smashed to splinters with tho
passengers in them.
"The newspapers have not been able to
describe the scenes of death and devasta
tion. One building I noticed in particular
had the lront and back blown out, while
the balance of it was not touched. The
furniture and everything in the building
was not even jarred out of position.
"At the Louisville hotel nobody was
hurt, but the building next to it was crushed
to an egg shell. Eight persons were killed
outright in the building. The iron beams
and girders of many buildings were twisted
and broken like pipe stems. Tin root's can
be seen all over the town. Large trees
which you could not reach around have
been pulled up and carried no one knows
where. Street cars were also lifted up and
dropped some distance away."
THEATERS ARE EXPENSIVE.
Mr. Bennett Savs Tbero Are Too Many of
Them In Eastern Cities.
H. M. Bennett, tbe moneyed man in tho
Bijou Theater, went to Philadelphia last
evening. Mr. Bennett said that Mr. Hen
derson's proposed new theater would doubt
less be a first class one, and he expected it
would injure his house somewhat.
"The expenses," he continued, "to run a
theater are very heavy. It is not what you
make in one, two or three weeks that de
termines whether the house is paying or
not We have done well, but it is only be
cause the competition has not been so great
as it may be. This is the trouble in New
York, Boston and Philadelphia. There aro
too many theaters, and the audiences are
divided among all the places.
BURR JTINT0SH ON DECK.
Ho Says Miss Virginia Knox Is Going on tho

Burr Mcintosh, the big handsome actor,
was at the Union depot last evening bound
for New York. He had just finished his
engagement with the Arthur Rehan com
pany in Chicago and had signed with Daly
to go to Europe.
Burr states that it has been definitely set
tled that Miss Virginia Knox, the Countess
di Montercoli, will go on the stage next
year.

Clnims Its Share Two Runaway Epi
sodes, With Very Unpleasant Results
An Accident on the Ice.
James B. Graham, a Baltimore and Ohio
freight conductor, was run over at Glen
wood and lost one foot, the other being
terribly mangled. He was removed to the
Homeopathic Hospital, where he died
about G P. M., attended by his mother and
three brothers. The remains were removed
to Flannery's undertaking establishment
on Frankstown avenue. Rev. I. N. Havs
attended the dying man yesterday after
noon. Michael Donahue, aged 35, a freight
brakeman on the P. & L. E. Railroad, was
run over yesterday morning and received in
juries from which he died at 8 o'clock last
evening. The residence of the deceased is
unknown, but he is supposed to belong in
Michigan. The body is at the morgue and
the Coroner will hold an inquest this morn
ing. Mrs. Henry Johnson, of the West End,
had her left leg broken through a runaway
horse accident yesterday mornintr.
A team belonging to Thomas Hershberger
was left unhitched by Charles Kirby, a
driver, in front of Mrs. Gallagher's house,
on the River road, yesterday morning, and
ran awav. The team collided with a street
car, badly injuring one of the horses.
Kirby, in discussing the subject with an
other employe of Hershberger's livery stable
in the afternoon, got badly whipped.
Yesterday morning, about 11 o'clork, the
tow boat I. N. Hook ran into one of the
piers of the Union bridge with a tow of
board rafts. The boat was coming out of
the Allegheny, and in shooting the span
between the shore and first pier was caught
by the wind and swung around. The raft
struck and the cables gave way, the tow
going down the stream. By hard wort on
the part of the pilot the boat was pulled
through without striking, and chase was
made after the runaway tow, which was
caught near Cbartiers, and later in the day
taken to its destination.
Jacob Deatz, an old man living on Mur
phy street. Fourteenth ward, fell on some
ice yesterday in front of his house, breaking
his right arm at the elbow.
TWO MORE OIL WELLS.
The Markley and Courier No. 3 .Struck In
tho Wasblncton Field.
The Washington oil field is slowly being
developed along the geological lines toward
the south. On Saturday the Markley well
and the Gonrley No. 3 were brought in.
They are producing about 180 barrels per
day apiece, and are the property of the
Clnysville Oil Company.
Both wells are located about 600 feet from
the last one struck, and they are so far the
most southern wells in the field. The
farmers in the region are highly pleased
over the prospects, and leases are at a pre
mium,, SETEN OP THE GANG CAUGHT.
A Bbtt of Tramps Cnptured In the Twenty
Third Ward.
A gang of ten tramps were discovered in
an old shanty in the Twenty-third ward yes
terday. Three managed to escape, but the
other seven were landed in the Hazelwood
station house.
The citizens of the neighborhood have
been complaining of numerous small robber
ies that have been committed lately. A lot
of canned goods, clothing and eatables were
found in the shanty.
ANOTHER DRUNKEN BOY.

as a dozen crying babies and managed to
upset the officer several times.
The police officers will investigate to find
out where he got his liquor.

SINGULAR RECORD OP 'JACOB BUPP
Jacob Bupp, of the Eleventh ward, Alle
gheny, will have a conference with Sheriff
McCandlcss this morning in regard to the
construction of the rope to be used in the
execution of Smith, the condemned colored
wife murderer. Mr. Bupp can safely be
styled an expert noose-maker, having made
no less than 88 ropes which were used in
hanging murderers during the past 30 years.
He has also received orders to make ropes
to be used in all of the nine executions
which are to take place on Wednesday of
next week.
A Dispatch reporter called on Mr.
Bupp, at his home yesterday afternoon. Tho
caller had often heard of Mr. Bupp's exten
sive experience in the hangman's rope busi
ness, and he felt a little uneasy about com
ing in contact with the gentleman. He was
not just sure itwould not be an uncanny ad
venture. Bnt Mr. Bupp was found to' be a
very genial individual, and he took great
pleasure in explaining how, and of what, a
hangman's rope is made. He has made so
many, and has assisted at so many execu
tions that it seemed a most natural and
pleasant subject for him to talk about.
JUST II 13 BUSINESS.
He related his experiences in putting
ropes around the neck of a culprit, so as to
always break the neck during the fall, with
the same ease that an ordinary person would
disenss a baseball game or a horse race,
while it would take a Rider Haggard to
describe the feelings he was causing his
listeners Jjy his gory description.
Mr. Bupp has made all of the ropes used
in Allegheny county during the last 20
years. He has made more ropes, however,
for Cambria county than for Allegheny.
When Guiteau was executed, Mr. Bupp
was one of about a score of persons who
made ropes and sent them to the officials at
the national capital, to oe used at tne exe
cution of President Garfield's assassin. Mr.
Bupp has every reason to believe his rope
was the one used. The ordinary rope is
made of 64 strands, but the one he sent to
Washingtou contained 110 strands. The
aescription of the rope, given in Harper's
Weekly after the hanging, tallied with Mr.
Bupp's rope.
Mr. Bupp received the order for the ropes
to hang the Chicago Anarchists, but he did
not make them.
The first rope he made was the one used to
execute Eli Schuetz, of Beaver county. The
first ones he made for Allegheny county
were those with which Sally Jones and
Henry Fife were hanged for killing Mrs.
Jones' uncle at Elizabeth, many years ago.
OTHERS OK HJS LIST.
Among the other important murderers,
for whom Mr. Bupp made ropes, were Mary
Grinder, who was hung for poisoning a
number of people; Jocoby, who murdered
his wife and threw her into Cork's run;
Evans, who killed his wife on Sandusky
street, Allegheny; Ortwein, who was con
victed of killing the Hammett family, five
in number, at HomesteadjWard McConkey,
who killed McClure at McKeespoft;
Myers and Murray, who murdered a
gardener at the Greenfield tavern;
Marshall and French, who followed a man
from New York and killed him on Boyd's
hill, and Frank Small. He also made the
rope that ended the life of the heaviest mur
derer ever hung in Pennsylvania. It was
Dr. Beecher, of Hollidaysburg. He weighed
2G5 pounds, and was hung for cutting his
wife into pieces with a dissecting knife.
Mr. Bupp has had some amusing experi
ences in his life, as well as grewsome ones.
He made a rope to be used in In
diana county some years ago. It is
customary to test all ropes with a
dead weight, but the Indiana Sheriff intro
duced a novel mode by hanging a hog that
weighed 200 pounds. Jamison was the
name of the man whose execution followed
that of the pig. Mr. Bupp has only made
two ropes that were not used on me occa
sions for which they were intended. This
is called "cheating the hangman." and Ed
Coffee was one of the two who played this
game. His rope was made but never used.
Sir. Bupp made the rope with which George
Clark was Hung lor murdering an Aiiegneny
butcher.
HOW NOOSES ABE MADE.
Upon being asked to explain how a hang
man's rope was made and in what way it
differs from other ropes, Mr. Bupp said:
"Hemp is always used. Flax will do, bnt
hemp is both longer and stronger. It is
first beaten and hackled until it is soft and
tender, and then it is twisted into strands.
A hangman's rope is made of four parts,
one of which is used as a heart and the other
three are twisted around it When it is fin
ished it is perfectly round and
smooth and is about 9-16 of an inch
in thickness. These ropes are usually made
from 25 to 30 feet in length. It requires 21
feet to perform the execution properly, and
tbe surplus is always made so as toe handy
in case of an accident resulting in a break.
The knot is tied by the man who makes the
rope, so that the executioner has nothing to
do but to Blip the loop over the culprit's
head.
"There' has been a change made
in the mode of hanging criminals.
Instead of placing the loop so
that the knot lies directlv back of the left
ear, it is now placed so that it will rest in
the hollow of the man's neck. His head is
thus thrown forward instead of sideways,
and death is said to eccur sooner than by
the other method."
NEVEB HAD A FAILUEE.
It is a tedious job to construct a hang
man's rope. The work has to be done with
great care. But Mr. Bupp, who is now
over 60 years of age, and who has had almost
a lifelong experience as a ropemaker, has
never had an accident occur through the
failure of a loop or knot to perform its
work properly.
The old gentleman is an old citizen of
Allegheny, having resided in the Eleventh
ward for many years. He is small in
stature, with a full gray beard. He is ro
bust and healthv, and is a good conversa
tionalist, particularly on criminal matters.
He keeps well posted on the affairs of the
country. He is the father of three children,
nil of whom are married and live in the
Eleventh ward.
Mr. Bupp expects to reach the hundred
mark in the noose-making business before
he quits this life. There is probably not
another man living who can show such a
record as can Mr. Jacob Bupp.
CHARLIE COCHRANE DEAD.
Tho Brother of Nclllo lily Expired Suddenly
Yesterday.
Charles M. Cochrane, brother of "Nellie
Bly," died early yesterday at his residence,
No. 73 Chestnut street, Allegheny City.
His death was sudden and unexpected.
He was a brother of Albert P.Cochrane,
manager of the Revere Rubber Company,
and traveled for that house. About a week
ago, while at Defiance, O., he was stricken
suddenly, and had to be taken horn', His
complaint was inflammation of the bowels,
and he grew worse each day. His sister is
somewhere in the West, and an effort was
made to catch her yesterday by telegraph,
and apprise her of the death.
Two Officers Beaten.
During a fight on West Carson street
early yesterday morning Officers Miller and
Alstadt were knocked down and beaten by
a crowd of men. Their assailants all es
caped, Neither of the officers was. seriously
hurt.
THE PBA8TOT THB DEAD.
Flttsburs's Moncolinns Observe the Cere
monyA Wagon Load of Good Things
for the Departed Spirits Roast Lamb
and Duett: on tho Menu.
Yesterday the Chinese of Pittsburg cele
brated what might be called a feast to the
dead. A party of ten or more visited the
Uniondale, Hilldale and Bellevue ceme
teries and performed the required cere
monies. They were driven in carriages,
and were accompanied by a wagon load of
the most delicious delicacies. The man
who Imagines that Chinamen live on rice
and the ordinary rodent is very much mis
taken, and, though the style of cooking
might not please the average American,
eveD the most fastidious person who had
seen tbe lay-out could but admit that it
looked tempting, and if he were hungry he
might for the moment wish he were dead.
The Indians of North America place food,
tobacco and bloody weapons in the coffins of
the dead braves, for their use in the spirit
land. The Chinese once a year offer up to
the departed souls of Mongolians, a feast of
fatness and richness, and they are supposed
to feed on this for a vear. Herein do the
savage and heathen differ.
In the'.offenng of food yesterday, there
were apples, cakes, ripe fruits, roast lamb,
stuffed ducks and chickens, with only the
leathers removed, tbe head and internal
organs remaining intact, and other
delicacies that only good Chinamen are
supposed to eat When the delegation ar
rived at the graveyard, a peculiar paper was
burned on the graves and a sort of a candle
placed around the edges of the heaped sod.
The candles were lighted and allowed to
burn down. The wagon with the food was
brought near the graves, and then removed.
One of the men performed the necessary in
cantations. The same operation was re
peated in the other cemeteries.
The food is brought back, and forever
after is sacred and hallowed. You couldn't
get a Chinaman to eat a piece of it, for it
would be a sacrilege that is never forgiven.
MEASLES AKD CHICKEN POX.
Tho Epidemics on the Sonlbslde Pretty Well
Distributed.
The epidemic of measles on the Southside,
noticed in The Dispatch a week ago, ia
not abating. In some of the wards, partic
ularly the Thirty-second and Thirty-fifth
wards, the chicken pox is.even more preva
lent than the measles. There are possibly
300 cases of measles and as many cases of
chicken pox on the south side of the river,
and while the disease is not usually consid
ered dangerous, a few deaths have occurred.
Dr. W. F. Pollock, Dr. W. J. Martin,
Dr. G. P. Rossman, Dr. W. L. Harding,
Drr W. J. Rigg3, Dr. J. M. Duff and Dr.
Husted were seen last night in regard to the
prevailing malady. The physicians nil
agreed that the disease was pretty well dis
tributed, although it has not reached its
height.
As measles is not an infections or conta
gious disease, it is not likely the Board of
Health will take any steps in the matter.
The physicians unite in the belief that the
weather is responsible for the present rise of
measles.
A CONVENTION OF TEACHERS

Sunday Schools.
The Sabbath School Institute of the Pres
bytery of Pittsburg will hold afternoon and
evening sessions in the East Liberty Presby
terian Church, corner of Penn and High

superintendents. In the evening Rev. D.
S. Kennedy will deliver an address, and W.
K. Jennings, Esq., will open a discussion
on the question, "How Can We Aid the In
ternational Sabbath School Convention?"
A MARVELOUS STEEL PLATE.
Il Was Rolled From an Ingot With Only
One Heatlntr.
On Saturday last John Zimmer, Jr., roller
at the Carbon Iron and Steel Works, on
Thirty-second street, turned out a surprising
piece of work. It was a plate seven-eighths
of an inch thick, 30 inches wide and 85 feet
Ion;;, and when turned and finished weighed
7,460 pounds,
This plate was worked from a rough ingot
with but one heating, which makes tbe piece
of work somewhat marvelons. The Carbon
Company are putting in two new 30-ton
open hearth furnaces.
John O'Shay Locked Up.
John O'Shay, whom the police on the
Southside have been looking for during the
past two months, was arrested yesterday and
locked up on a charge of disorderly conduct.
It is alleged he is the man who created con
siderable excitement in the neighborhood of
Manor and South Fifth streets some two
months ago by bombarding the dwelling of
David Conway.
Ho Slashed an Officer.

The Solemn and Sad Ceremonies to be
Held in the Catholic Churches,
TO CLOSE WITH GREAT EEJ0IU1X6.
A Passion Sermon Friday Evening fcy a
Passioniat Priest.
THE OTHER EXERCISES OP THE WEEK
Palm Sunday was celebrated in all tbe
Catholic churches throughout the two cities
yesterday. Branches of palm were distric
uted to the people in recognition of the
event. The day is a feast in memory and
honor of the triumphant entry of Christ into
Jerusalem, and is so called because of the
palm branches which, the Hebrew children
strewed under His feet.
Yesterday was also the beginning of Holy
Week. The- latter i3 the period in which
the church commemorates Christ's death and
burial, and which is spoken of by ancient
writers as the great, the holy week, the
week of the holy passion, etc. It dates
from apostolic times, and is distinguished
from the rest of Lent by the extreme strict
ness of the fast
The Tenebra: will be sung at the St.
Paul's Cathedral on Wednesday evening.
The lessons will be taken from the Lamenta
tions of Jeremiah. At the beginning of the
office 13 lighted candles will be placed on a
triangular candelabrum.
THE CANDLES EXTINGUISHED.
At the end of each Psalm, one is put out,
till only a single candle is left lighted at the
top of the triangle. During the ringing of
the benedictns, the candles on the high altar
are extiueuished, while at the antiphon the
single candle left alight is hidden at the
epistle corner ofthe altar, to be brought out
again at the end ofthe office. The detention
of light signifies the growing darkness of the
time when Christ, the light of the world,
was taken. The last candle is hidden to sig
nify that death could not really obtain do
minion over Christ The clapping made at
the end of the office is said to symbolize the
confusion subsequent on Christ's death.
On Holy Thursday one mass only can be
said. It is celebrated in white vestments,
because of the institution ofthe Eucharist,
which is joyfully commemorated. The
bells which rins at the Gloria do not sound
again till the Gloria in the mass of Holy
Saturday, and the wooden clapper is used
instead. The celebrant consecrates an ad
ditional host, which is placed in a chalice
and borne in procession after the mass to a
place prepared for it This is called the
sepulchre and will be beautifully decked
with flower3 and lights. Afterward the
altars will be stripped of the vestments in
recognition of the stripping of Christ In
St. Peter's Church in Rome the chief altar
is then washed with wine. In this country
this part of the ceremony is omitted.
WASHING THE FEET.
The stripping of the altars will be fol
lowed by the washing of the feet. In very
few churches in this country is this cere
mony observed. In Rome the Pope washes
the feet of 12 poor pilgrims. The blessing
ofthe holy oils to be used during the year
takes place on this day. Bishop Phelan
will perform this ceremony, assisted by
about a dozen priests. The bishop will
breathe three times on the oils, meaning
that the power of the Holy Spirit is about
to descend upon the oils.
On Good Friday the church commemor
ates the passion of Christ, and it is the most
sad and solemn event of the week. The
clergyman will be dressed in black vest
ments, and will prostrate themselves before
the stripped altar. At the conclusion of
prayers forall men the cross, which has up
until mis iime oeen covered with black, is
exposed to view and kissed by the clergy
and people. The improperia are then sung.
The blessed sacrament is borne in
procession from the chapel, where
it was placed the day before,
while the choir sings the hymn, "Vexiela
Regus." The priest places the host in the
altar, the candles of which are now lighted,
the sacrament is elevated while the wooden
clapper is sounded.
HOLY SATUBDAT EXPLAINED.
On Holy Saturday the ceremonies begin
in the morning with the blessing of the new
fire struck from the Hint From this fire a
candle with three stems placed on a reed is
lighted and carried up through the church.
The blessings of the 12 prophecies then fol
low. After they have been read, the priests
go in procession to the font The water in
the font is scattered toward the four
quarters of the world, to indicate the
Catholicity of the church and the
world-wide efficacy of her sacraments.
On the way back from the font the litanies
of the saints are begun. They are continued
while the ministers lie prostrate before the
altar, and as they end the altar is decorated
with flowers and the mass is begun with
white vestments. At the Gloria the organ
sounds, the bells are rung and the joyful
strains of the alleluia peal forth after the
epistle.
Lent will end with Easter Sunday. This
day is a feast in honor of the Saviour's
resurrection or risins from the dead on the
third day. It is called Easter from Oriens,
which signifies East or Rising, which is one
of the titles of Jesus Christ At the Cathe
dral solemn pontificial high mass will be
celebrated by Bishop Phelan. Owing to the
illness of Director Knake the musical pro
gramme will probably not be anything un
usual. The Cathedral Band will be present
and will render sacred music.
On Friday evening a passion sermon will
be preached by a priest from the Passionist
Monastery on the Southside.

"The life of the speak-easy man," said De
tective William Shore about 2 p. si. yester
day, "is not all laid on a bed of roses," and
Captain Dan Silvis, Detectives Shore, Rob
inson and Bendel sauntered up to the quiet
retreat run by J. Grant Herron, in the cellar
of his house on O'Brien's court, opening off
Duquesne way, above Ninth street.
"Stranger, we are seven," was the remark
made by the visitors captured, while Herron
filed an objection to the quotation, saying,
"We are ate."
The police have been watching this place
for over a month, but Herron had a splendid
system of scouts and was always prepared
when the officers arrived. Yesterday the
officers passed the scouts by a strategic
movement and got into the place in time to
catch the business in full blast There was
a keg of beer on tap and several cases of
bottled beerand a coupleot bottles of whisky
in the stock in trade. Information will be
entered against Herron to-day by Inspector
McAleese.
