The Republican majority of the "Ways
and Means Committee have prepared a
tariff bill which makes many changes in
the existing legislation on that subject.
Republican Congressnie are delighted with
the measure, while their Democratic
brethren naturaliy take an entirely different
view of the bill.
rFItOM A STAFF COItnESrOXDEXT.l
Washington, March 3L. Tne Demo
cratic members of the "Ways and Means
Committee were to-day permitted for the
first time to see the tariff bill which their
Republican colleagues have been preparing.
At a special meeting of the committee
called this morning for the purpose it was
formally reported to the full committee.
Some sarcastic allusions were made by
Messrs. Mills and McMillan, two of the
Democratic members, to the aptness dis
played by Chairman McKinley in adopting
the "dark lantern" methods of preparing
the bill used by the Democrats in the last
Congress, but beyond that nothing was said
at this meeting on the bill itself. The re
mainder of the session was devoted to a
discussion of the time when the bill should
be reported to the House.
Ten Days to File Objections.
The Democrats said they would require at
least ten days in which to examine the pro
visions of the bill and prepare their minor
ity report upon it. To this the Republicans
acceded, and so the bill will be reported to
the Honse on the 10th of April.
Not many copies of the bill have yet been
printed, only a sufficient number for the use
of the committee and the press having been
ordered from the printing office. Conse
quently not many members of the House
have yet had such an opportunity to exam
ine the bill as would enable them to express
an opinion upon it. Most of them, however,
were acquainted with its general features,
and most of the Republicans are very much
pleased with it They say that it embodies,
in even a more satisfactory manner than did
the Senate bill of the last Congress, the
principles of their party upon which they
won the Presidency and the National House
of Representatives.
A Democratic Cnmpnicn Document.
The Democrats, on the other hand, say
that it is a very cleverly arranged bill to
hoodwink the farmers and working classes,
while satisfying the demands of tbe manu
Jacturers, from whom the "fat" was fried so
successfully during the last campaign.
Representative Bayne, a majority member
of the "Ways and Means Committee, said
with regard to the bill he has assisted in
preparing: "The new tariff bill? "Well, it
is a good one. I am more familiar with the
metal and glass schedules than I am with
the others, but I think the bill will be re
garded with favor by every protectionist
There are, of course, provisions in the bill
which I would have modified or left out, if
1 could have my way. For instance, hides
are made dutiable. They should be free. It
is claimed, however, that the fanners of the
"West desire this duty, and a majority of the
Republicans who framed the bill thought it
wise to accede to their request Hops are
raised beyond what the duty should be, in
response to a little demand.
Glass and Iron Protected.
"The metal and glass schedules are as
nearly perfect, I think, as human ingenuity
could formulate. Wherever duties could be
lowered without detriment or danger to the
iron steel and glass industries it has been
done, but, on the other hand, wherever in
creased protection is necessary it has been
accorded. If this bill becomes a law we
shall soon he manufacturing our entire con
sumption of tin plates. We shall also make
in much larsrer quantities the finer qualities
of steel. The importation ot different kinds
of glass will diminish, because under this
bill we shall be able to make perhaps every
variety known in the market.
"The revenue will be largely diminished.
About $30,000,000 will be taken off sugar,
S12.000.000 from tobacco, and probably $15,
000,000 in consequence of the decreased im
portation of textiles. I cannot go into the
many details. I am tired, as are the other
Republican members of the committee. We
have worked, I may say, night and day,
and it isn't presumption to say that we are
pleased with the result of our labors."
A Democratic View.
Representative McMillan, a Democratic
member of the committee, said: "The bill
is very satisfactory to me from a Democratic
point of view. Looking at it as a whole, it
increases the duties on those articles from
tho tariff on which the manufacturers
derive most benefit and decreases them on
the things the tariff on which goes into the
Treasury. The farmers are taxed to pay a
bounty of $2,210 a ton on raw silk. The
workmen are taxed or will be in a Tear on
their tin pails, the duty on tin plate being
doubled at the expiration of 12 months.
Hides are taxed Jp per cent ad valorem,
with a provision that on leather or skins
manufactured from imported hides a draw
back of equal amount shall be allowed on
exportation, thus selling it to the foreigner
cheaper than to the home consumer. Of
course, having only seen the bill this morn
ing for the first time, I have not yet been
able to give any hut a cursory examination
to the measure; but I think from what I
have seen of it that it will be a good docu
ment for Democratic campaign uses."
Messrs. Mills and Breckenridgc, of Ar
kansas, expressed themselves in similar
terms.
No Limit to the Debate.
Chairman McKinley said that no pro
gramme had yet been arranged for the de
bate. "The Democrats have got ten days in
which to submit their minority report, and
the bill will then be reported to the House.
It will probably be on the calendar for ten
more days, according to the state of the
business. I expect that without doubt the
consideration of the bill will be begun by
the 1st of May. Nothing has been decided
upon as to the length of the general debate.
We will let it go along for some time, and
it will depend on circumstances as to when
it stops."
Some of the Philadelphia Congressmen
aremuch displeased with the sugar schedule,
which makes a cut of about 50 per cent on
present duties, and they threaten to make
trouble unless it is changed. The New En
gland men are also kicking because hides
are taken from the free list and made duti
able. They had this changed once, and are
angry to see that the duty has again been
placed on this product Lightner.

PITTSBURG, TUESDAY, APRIL 1, 1890.
QUAY FOR FAIR PLAY.
The Junior Senator Feels Kindly to
All the Candidates.
HE FAVORS AN OPEN CONTEST
For the Much-Coveted Kepublican Nomina
tion for Governor.
HASTINGS IS STRONG IN EAEEISBDRG.
Bedford Democrats Want Ex Goiernor Pattison Re
nominated. Senator Quay arrived in Philadelphia
last night, and stated that he had no prefer
ence among the Gubernatorial candidates,
but thought they should all bo given fair
play and make an open contest
SPECIAL TltirBAH TO TUE EISPATCTT.l
Philadelphia, March 31. Senator
Quay, accompanied by Senator Delamater,
Chairman Andrews, of the State Com
mittee, and State Treasurer-elect Henry K.
Boyer arrived here this evening from Wash
ington. Senator Delamater left the party
at the station while the others proceeded
to the Continental Hotel, where a crowd
of State local leaders were in waiting to
meet Senator Quay.
On their way to this city Senator Dela
mater varied the monotony ot the regulation
train ride by celebrating the forty-first anni
versary of his birthday, which occurred to
day, by entertaining his friends at dinner.
Pleasant chat and "many happy returns"
were features of the train dinner, and State
Treasurer-elect Bover, with an eye to the
future, pleasantly remarked that the next
anniversary dinner will be celebrated at
Harrisburg, at which the junior Senator
smiled, bat made no comment.
Collector of Internal Revenue David Mar
tin, Chairman of the Republican Campaign
Committee; CharleB A. Porter and Hamil
ton Disston were the first to catch the Sena
torial ear.
QUAY FIGURING ON MAJORITIES.
Senator Quay renewed his expression of
pleasure on account of the large Repub
lican majority received by Captain Taylor,
and asked what majority will be given the
State candidates at the fall election.
The Chairman of the City Committee,
with a look at his colleague, said: "We are
not making any promises, hut we will en
deavor to keep our organization in good
condition."
The warm reception tendered the Scuator
by his many friends was evidently a source
ot gratification to him, as the placid counte
nance which he usually wears, gave way to
a pleasant smile, which" indicated his inner
ieelings. Many of those who called, spent
but a few minutes with him, as on account
of the large numbers in waiting, it was im
possible for him to give them any longer
time. When asked for news regarding the
political situation Senator Quay, who is
noted for his reficence, unbended enough to
say:
"There is really nothing new that I can
tell you. I wanted to meet my many
friends, and, having done so, am pleased to
learn that the best of feeling prevails in the
party throughout the State, notwithstand
ing the fact that the Gubernatorial contest
is well under way.
HE HAS NO CHOICE.
"On that subjectlhave nothing to add to
what has already been said. I believe that
the friends of all the candidates should
uc tutu iuir piay, ana make an
open contest. The nominees of the
convention, I feel satisfied, will
be cordially supported at the polls. Before
I went South I said I did not care to take
sides in the canvass, and I see no reason
why I should change my mind. I count all
the candidates among my friends, and what
ever the result of the convention shall be the
party will be sure to present an acceptable
standard bearer for the fall campaign."
Seldom have the corridors of the Conti
nental Hotel been so crowded as they were
this evening on the occasion of the recep
tion to Senator Quay which was tendered
him by the local Republican leaders, in
spite of the fact that the hour of his coming
was not definitely known. It was the Sena
tor's first appearance in this city since his
departure for Florida in January last, and
the leaders and their many friends were
anxious to pay their respects.
HAILED AS GOVERNOR.
When State Senator Delamater, who is
practically conceded the nomination for
Governor, put in an appearance, he was
handsomely received by the crowd in wait
ing to see Senator Quay. "Make way for
the next Governor," shouted an enthusiast,
and at once the ranks were opened to make
wav for Crawlord county's son.
General Hastings, who is one of the lead
opponents of Senator Delamater, was
expected at the hotel, but for some
reason he was unable to be present.
Colonel Wendell P. Bowman, of the First
Regiment, who is an intimate friend of
the General's, came down to see Sen
ator Quay, and to arrange for a talk
which will take place to-morrow. Both
Hastings and Delamater are warm friends
of Senator Quay, and judging by the Sena
tor's declared policy of non-interference it
is thought mat nothing will be done to
change the situation from its present condi
tion, which wears a decidedly Delamater ap
pearance. Senator Quay will remain in this city
until Wednesday evening before leaving for
Beaver. Senator Delamater will leave on
Thursday.
THEY WANT HASTINGS.
Popular Sentiment nt the Capital Favors
the Attorney General's Cnndldacj
Claims of Dclnmater's Friends
Doubted Othor Politi
cal Points.
ISr-EClAt TELEOBAM TO THE DISPATCH.!
Haerisbubg, March 31. Senator Dela
mater may have the lead in the race for the
Republican nomination for Govenor,but the
friends of General Hastings are inclined to
dispute some of tho claims of Chairman
Andrews with regard to the choice of dele
gates. Among those claimed for Delama
ter is William Miller, of Snyder county,
who is a clerk in the State Library. This
announcement sounds rather singular, in
view of the fact that Miller was conspicious
in the formation of a Hastings club in this
city and is now an active member of that
organization, and that he ran against and
defeated, by over 600 majority, a man who
was recognized as the Delamater candidate
for delegate in Snyder county.
The sentiment in this city seems to be over
whelmingly for Hastings, and if the effort
being made to introduce the Crawford
county system should prove successful it is
believed bv the supporters of the General
for Govenor, that the Delamater delegates
will be easily defeated. Lyman D. Gilbert,
ex-Deputy Attorney General, who expects
to be Attorney General is case of Delania
ter's election, will run in this city iu the
interest of the Crawford county Senator. He
is popular, but bis position in the Governor
ship fight is likely to result in his defeat, if
the popular Republican vote is invoked to
decide the choice of a delegate. Captain
George G. Boyer, a member of tho Soldiers'
Orphan Commission and Manager of the
Harrisburg Car Manufacturing Works, is
nrnminentlV mentioned as thft TTAntinp-ft
candidate, and his friends say his success
depfends 0'n his entering the fiht lor dele
gate.
FIRM FOR PATTISON.
Bedford Democrats Want the Ex-Governor
to Run This Year.
tSMCIAL TELKQKAM TO TUE DISPATCH.
Bedford, March 31. The Democratic
County Committee meeting here next week
has set the politicians to speculating as to
whom the delegates to the State Convention
will be and who they will favor for Gov
ernor. Your correspondent interviewed the
recognized leaders of the party to-day, and
found.with few exceptions, that ex-Governor
Pattison will have the call. Humphrey D.
Tate, Eq,, who was chief clerk to the Sec
retary of the Commonwealth under the Pat
tison administration, when asked whom he
favored as the Democratic nominee, said:
"Ex-Governor Pattison first, last, and all the
time,'andlc3n say to yoa that ho is the
strongest man the party can nominate. The
Democrats in the county with whom I have
talked on the matter are, almost to a man,
for Pattison."
Mr. Tate, it is understood, will be one of
the delegates to the State convention.
E. F. Kerr, Esq., whose name was promi
nently mentioned as a candidate lor the
Democratic nomination for State Treasurer,
when asked whom he favored for Governor,
said he believed that ex-Governor Pattison
was the most available candidate. Hon.
John M. Reynolds said he had not given
the matter any thought, but he was for the
strongest man and had no special prefer
ence. County Chairman Frank Fletcher,
the man who is expected to redeem the
county for the Democracy, said: "Pattison
is the man we want to win with, and I am
pretty certain Bedford county will instruct
for him." Editors McGirr and McNamara
are Psttison men all over, and have so ex
pressed themselves iu their paper.
A STARTLING EUM0B
That the Qncen Contemplates Abdicating nt
nn Early Date Her Growing In
firmities the Cause Iloiv
She Lives nt Aix.
BT DUXLAP'S CABLE COMPACT.
London, March 31. It is now stated on
the highest official authority, as well as
being a matter of common gossip in Parlia
ment and at the clubs, that the Queen is
seriously considering the step of abdicating
the British throne. The recentrreception of
the Prince of Wales by the German
Emperor has had a great effect on the aged
Queen, who is now convinced that her son
ought to have a chance to play the leading
role in England during the rest of her life,
which is certain to be short. The Queen's
bodily infirmity is increasing, and she is so
rapidly running to flesh that massage is
necessary to assist her in breathing.
One strong objection the Queen has to ab
dicating is the contingency of being called
ex-Queen. She wishes to assume the title
of Qaeen Uegent for the rest of her life. A
special bill will be introduced into Parlia
ment when she is willing to resign the actual
throne,- and the Prince of Wales will be
crowned King ot England and Emperor of
India.
The Queen's daily fare at Aix consists of
tea and toast in the morning, a chop, stale
bread and cocoa at noon. At 5 in the after
noon she has tet and crackers. Her dinner
consists of clear soup, underdone beef,
chicken salad and claret. She is not al
lowed any beer, champagne or vegetables.
She passes a quiet evening with Princess
Beatrice snd Prince Henry of Battenburg,
playing the piano, singing and playing
cribbage. Poor Battenburg finds this deadly
dull, and after the Queen has retired for the
night he sneaks out and smokes his pipe by
the lonelv sea or drinks beer at a bar.
QUAY MAT SUE THE WORLD.
Such is tbe Information Given Oat by n
Plnkcrton Detective.
rsrECIAI. TELEOBAM TO THE DISPATCH.!
New York, March 31. Your correspon
dent was informed to-night that Senator M.
S. Quay would institute proceedings in
court against the New York World for libel,
claiming damages in the sum of 5100,000.
A Pinkerton detective is responsible for the
story. He says that the author of the
political expose is being shadowed by detec
tives, and that sufficient evidence will be
produced to vindicate the name of Senator
Quay. The writer's name is Boylan, and
he is considered by his employers a
brilliant and trustworthy man who has had
25 years' newspaper experience. The
World's managing editor, Mr. Chambers,
said that they would welcome such proceed
ings, and further stated that their columns
had been exceedingly lenient toward Quay,
considering the prools held in the back
ground regarding the political scandal,
"If it should come to such an issue we will
make it far more interesting for Mr. Quay,"
said be.
The Pennsylvania politicians seen in and
about the Filth Avenue Hotel were uni
formly of the opinion that no suit would be
brought by Quay or his backers. Some of
them who knew personally a thing or two
about the inside workings of the Senator's
career intimated that he wonld hold his
seat and characteristically say nothing.

A YOICE FROM AFAR.
Gladstone Makes a Few Remarks to
a New York Andience.
THE GRAND OLD MAN'S ADDRESS.
He Warns His Hearers of the Dangers of
Great Wealth, but
COMMENDS THRIFT AND SELF-nELP.
A Phonographic Message to an American Co-Operatlre
Association.
The voice of Hon. W. E. Gladstone has
been heard in our land. He was a little
pressed for time and was unable to come
himtelf, and therefore sent .his voice by
means of a phonograph.
tSPECIAI. TELEOUAM TO THE DISPATCH.!
New York, March 31. The living voice
of William 15. Gladstone spoke to-day to an
American audience' gathered in the Equita
ble building on Broadway. In appearance
Mr. Gladstone's voice was a black, hollow
cylinder ab out four inches long and one and
one-half in diameter; in sound it v;as like
the faint hallo of a man at the Brooklyn end
of the East river bridge heard at the New
York abutment.
The occasion of the gathering was the de
layed arrival from England of a phono
graphic message from Mr. Gladstone, ad
dressed to the American Co-operative
Building and Loan Association, which was
intended for use at the public meeting in
the Cooper Union on the lltn. Colonel
Gouraud, Chairman of the Reception Com
mittee, invited a committee of gentlemen to
meet at the Lawyers' Club to listen to this
message. About 150 gentlemen were present
in the law library, half of whom
were delegates from various building fund
associations. Colonel Gouraud explained
to the audience that a letter was sent to
Mr. Gladstone about six weeks ago request
ing him to send a pKouographic communi
cation to tbe loan association. On the
afternoon of the 7th of March Mr. Gladstone
called at Colonel Gouraud's residence,
Wessex House, London, and dictated to a
phonograph the message which was to be
reproduced.
TWO GRAND OLD MEN.
Colonel Gonraud introduced as chairman
of the meeting to receive the words of the
Grand Old Man of England, General Sher
man, the Grand Old Man of America.
General Sherman said that the audience
assembled was worthy to listen to the British
statesman, and then called upon Mr. Glad
stone to speak up. The phonograph
was placed upon a table. Colonel Gouraud
took from a box tbe carefully packed
cyclinder which bore the impress of Glad
stone's voice. He explained that the cyclin
der had been tested but once since its arrival
in this country, and had been found to be in
perfect condition. Handing it to General
Sherman, Colonel Gouraud said: "General,
here is Mr. Gladstone; don't drop him."
"I'll hold him with both hands as well
as in my heart," was the veteran's reply,
and he tenderly took the black cyclinder.
General Sherman, General Porter aDd
British Consul General Booker listened to a
repetition by m eans of the tubes. They said
they heard it with great distinctness, and
that all the modulations and individual
characteristics of the voice were faithfully
reproduced.
GLADSTONE'S SPEECH.
Consul Booker, who is familiar with Mr.
Gladstone's voice, said the reproduction
was perfect. This is the message as the gen
tleman heard it:
The purpose of tbormeeting on the llth may,
I conceive, be summed up in two words self
help and thrift and I cannot, although mnch
occupied, refuse to send to it a few words of
congratulation and good will. It is self-help
that makes the man, and man making is the
aim which the Almighty has everywhere Im
pressed upon creation. It is thrift by which
self-help for the masses.dependent upon labor,
is principally made effective. For them thrift
is the symbol and tbe instrument of indepen
dence and of liberty, indispensable conditions
of all permanent human good.
But thrift is also the mother of wealth, and
here comes the danger into view, for wealth is
the mother of temptation and leads many of its
possessors into a new form ot slavery, more
subtle and not less debasing than the old.
From this slavery may all lands, and especially
all lands of the English tongue, hold them
selves forever free.
A LEVEE GIYES WAY.
Tho Waters Ponr Into tuo City of Green
ville Tho Flood a Tremendous Ono
Telephone Wires Down No
Lives Reported Losr.
Greenville, Miss., March 31. The
protection levee north of this city gave way
at noon, despite the most heroic efforts on
the part of the people, and the waters
poured in upon a city which since its exist
ence has been above the level of the Missis
sippi at its greatest height. The flood is a
tremendous one, and the volume of water
that is pouring in from the three breaks above
is spreading out in all directions, inundat
ing plantation after plantation.
The telephone lines are all down above
Greenville and nothing has been heard from
the levees to-day. It is greatly feared that
the heavy wind and rain now prevailing
will cause the levees to give way in new
places. The water at this hoar reached
Washington avenue, one of the principal
business streets uf the city, and the people
are navigating in skiffs. No lives have
been reported lost and no actual suffering is
anticipated unless the flood continues for a
considerable length of time.
Regarding the break at Austin, Miss., in
Tunica county, a special from Helena, Ark.,
18 miies below Austin, says: The water
from the break will overflow the county for
some distance back and will follow the
levee to the Yazoo pass, which will carry off
most of it without doing much damage ex
cept the lowest lands'. Some of the water
will pass down Sun Flower river, by Clarks
dale, but will do but little damage until it
meets the water from the four breaks below
the Arkansas river. When they all meet
it will overflow the Yazoo country trom the
point of meeting down the entire length of
the Yazoo river.
A dispatch from Rolling Fork, La., says:
Deer creek, at this place, is rising at the
rate of three-quarters of an inch an hour,
and the backwater on the west side has com
pletely covered all the land between here
and Steel's Bayou, with the exception of
about a halt mue strip oi nign land at tbe
bank of the creek.

Its Natural Gns Trust stock Pays a Divi
dend of 27 1-3 Per Cent-The Mar
ket Price Advances From
90 to 157 In Less
Than a Yenr.
ISrXCIAL TELEOBAM TO THE DISPATCH.:
New York, March 31. The stockholders
of the Natural Gas Trust, an off-shoot of
the Standard Oil Company, were made glad
this morning by receiving notice that an
extra stock dividend of 25 per cent, in ad
dition to a quarterly dividend of 2)4 per
cent in cash, has been declared by the
trustees. This is equivalent to a dividend
of 27J per cent. The Natural Gas Trust
has a capital stock stock of $4,800,000, and
the new .stock to be issued will increase this
to 6,000,009. It controls enormous gas
producing territories in Forest, Elk, War
ren and Jefferson counties, in Pennsylvania,
and at present supplies with fnel a section
of country within a radius ot 150 miles, in
cluding such cities and towns as Buffalo,
Erie, Dunkirk, Warren, Youngstown,
Meadville, Corry, Salamanca, Bradford,
Franklin, Titusville and about ten others.
In 188G the Standard Oil Company bought
out a large number of small gas companies,
consolidated them into a trust and issued
the new stock to the stockholders of the
Standard at par, as a 4-per-cent stock divi
dend. The new trust at once began paying
a 6-per-cent dividend. This has been in
creased from time to time to 8 per cent, and
finally to 10 per cent. It has earned a large
surplus, a portion of which has been used in
the purchase of new territorial rights and in
the increase of its plant. But the surplus
has nevertheless grown until it became
feasible to make the distribution of 25 per
cent of new stock.
A year ago the stock which is not listed
wa3 quoted at 90. It has rapidly increased
in value, and six weeks ago could not he
purchased at less than 140. To-day the
price is firm at 157. It is only another in
stance of the luck and good management of
the parent trust.
AN AWFDL CHARGE UPON THEM.
Five Persons Said to bo Rcsponblo for the
Loss of 12 Lives.
rSPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.l
Boston, March 31. The five men and
boys, upon whose heads rests the charge of
sacrificing 12 lives for the paltry sum of
700, were arraigned in court to-day, and
were each held in 510,000 by Judge Ely for
appearance April 8, to which time the hear
ing was postponed. There is a most intense
feeling against the prisoners among the Ital
ians at the North End, and there i3 no doubt
but if they could get at them, they would
kill them like dogs.
To-day an Italian woman called at the
station house to see the prisoners, "just to
see if they were the right men." She had
lost her bnsband and four children by the
fire. Captain Cain did not like the look in
her eyes and refused her request It would
not be surprising if eventually there was
trouble between the Italians and the Rus
sian Hebrews at the North End over this
affair, for a strong feeling of hatred has
arisen in the hearts of the former against the
latter. It is only a questn of a short time,
it is thought by Captain3ain, when either
Savage or Berger, Of young Smith will
make a confession. The other two prison
ers. Julius Smith and Morris Reubens,
maintain a stolid demeanor.
BURNING OP A CONTENT.
Ono Sister Receives Fatal Injuries nnd Two
Others Badly Hurt.
Milwaukee, March 31. Fire broke
out this evening in St. Joseph's Catholic
Convent and the entire building and its
contents were burned, the 75 occupants of
the building barely escaping with their
lives and having no time to save any of
their belongings. The fire started from the
furnace and was carried quickly through
the building by ventilator shafts.
Sister Blanker, who was on the fourth
floor, finding escape cut off, jumped from a
window, breaking her left leg and all her
ribs. She cannot live. Two young candi
dates, Rose Minet and Mary Werner,
jumped from the third story windows and
were seriously injured. Two firemen were
also injured by falling walls, but not se
riously. All the other inmates succeeded in
getting out safely under the guidance of the
Sisters, who prevented many young girls
from flinging themselves from windows in
their fright. The loss will amount to
870,000, ou which there is an insurance of
525,000.

home.
None of the members of the family noticed
his arrival, but at 10 o'clock they heard a
noise in the bath room. On making an in

had been in bad health for a long time.

IF nE DIDST PAT UP WHEN ASKED
Samuel Bing, who is accused by several
Southside applicants for license of having
intimated that by the payment of a certain
sum to a political fund they could secure
the paper wished for, filed an alii davit yes
terday denying the charge in full. An
other applicant appeared who said Mr. Bing
told him his license could be taken away if
he didn't do as he was requested to do.
The feature of License Court yesterday
the beginning of the third week, was the
appearance of Samuel Bing, backed by
Chief Brown, Inspector McAleese and
"William Flinn, and the filing of affidavits
denying the sworn testimony of Southside
saloon keepers in regard to alleged actions
of Mr. Bing. After Mr. Bing and his
friends had departed, Judge Magee found
another Southside saloon keeper, Julius
Kaiser, who gave very damaging evidence
against Mr. Bing.
The hearing of evidence in the Bing case
will probably prevent the announcement of
tbe Pittsburg list of licensees until the end
of this week at the latest.
The city of Pittsburg was finished yester
day, although court wa3 compelled to sit un
til 6 o'clock. To-day the First and Second
wards of Allegheny and 31 of the 46 appli
cants from the Third ward will be heard.
The court will not hold an open session on
Good Friday. The Judges will probably
occupy themselves on that day in making
up the Pittsburg list. Allegheny will not
be finished until next Monday.
After the filing of the affidavits iu the
Bing case at the opening of court, Assistant
City Attorney Burleigh presented a draft
of a citation in the case of John S. Oehhng,
of the Fifteenth ward, summoning Chief
Brown to appear and show why he had
placed Mr. Oehling on the speak-easy list.
This citation was drawn up by Mr. Burleigh
as Chief Brown's attorney. The date for a
hearing wa3 left blank. Judge Ewing took
the paper, and said that he would announce
the date for a hearing this morning.
