Only One Firm in the Cily Will Get the Figures To-Day. THE SERVICE COSTS IT 25,000. There was sorrow in the ranks of the stock brokers throughout the city yesterday. Early in the day the "Western Union Telegraph Company cut out all their wires running into the "bucket shops," and, with one ex ception, the brokers' offices. As a result there will be no quotations from Chicago to day, except in this one particular office. The latter does not get the "markets" by ticker, but by special wire, for which they pay a rental of ?25,000 per year. Unless some method of securing the quotations is appar ent to-day, the brokers will have to go out of business. The cause of the trouble is the old fight of the Chicago Board ot Trade against the bucket shops throughout the country. At a meeting of the directors of the board, on Monday afternoon, they decided to refuse to furnish any more quotations, not even to members, and served notice on the "Western Union Telegraph Company to that effect. The officers of the company in this city re ceived notice to cut out the wires, which they did yesterday. JDST OXE OP 'EM LEFT. In this city tbe only firm that will get the quotations to-day will be J. II. Oakley & Co. They have been getting their "mar kets" on a private wire and are not depend ent on the ticker... They had a ticker in their office, too. but it was also cut out with the others. The other brokers and "bucket shop" men have been getting their quota tions on tickers through other sources. A great many were served by Camp bell & Co., who had tbe suit against the Western Union and Chicago board some time ago. "When an attcmnt was made to cut rout the tickers before, the firm secured an injunction against the tele graph company and compelled them to fur nish the quotations. They in turn sent them by loop wires to the other brokers, and the latter got them almost as soon as Oakley & Co. The "bucket shops" caid Campbell & Co. from $15 to $25 per week for the ser vice, and as long as Campbell & Co. got it from Chicago the "Ducket shop" men were satisfied. It will be impossible to get it now, as the ticker wire is cut out of Camp bell's office. FIEED OFF THE FLOOR. In Chicago the "Western Union Company was compelled to get off the floor on 'Cnange. It hasjits office right under the Exchange and has been getting the quota tions from above by messengers. The Doard decided to stop this, and any messenger found carrying quotations will be put off the floor. The board is determined to stop the business of selling quotations despite what the telegraph company wishes to do. The latter backs up the claim of the Pitts burg members of the board that tbey had a right to the quotations. The directors argued that if they furnished the quotations to their members they would also have to give them to the "bucket shops." A num ber of the directors jumped in and upheld the local members in their claim, but the majority was against them. Superintendent Charles O. Rowe was seen yesterday by a DisrATCil reporter, and wheh asked it the company Had cut out then ires and would discontinue the quotations he said: '"Yes, we served notice on all our customers that we could not furnish any more quotations from Chicago. Tbe Board ot Trade shut them off from us and will not allow us to send tliem out. As we cannot get them on 'Change we could not furnish them to the brokers. On ac count of the election in Chicago to-day business on 'Change has been suspended, ana there were no quotations. EXPENSIVE TO THE COlirASr. "What will bo done with the matter to-morrow, 1 do not know. The action will cause a loss of thousands ot dollars to the company. I do not know what the actual loss will be." When the proprietors of the "backet shops" weie seen they were "in tne dumps," so to speak. They stated that they had no idea where they would get their quotations to-day. They said they would depend on Campbell t Co., and if the latter could not fret them they would have to cease doing business. They all expressed a hope that some way would bo found to get out of the difficulty, but from their looks it was a forlorn hope. The wire over which Oakley fc Co. will get their quotations runs from Chicago to New York, and "drops" tbe "markets"' at Pittsburg, Lincastor and Philadelphia. The cost of the wire, as stated, is S23.C00 per year, exclusive ot salaries of the operators. Mr. Oakley Btatod yesterday that his Arm would be the only one in the city getting quotations to-day. Other brokers seen said tbe only way to get the quotations would be to hat e the western Union Company buy them from the Board of Trade and then sell tnem to subscribers. They said the board might consent to this arrange ment for about 30,000, but tho probabilities were very slight. HOSE TKDCK COLLISION. A Fireman's Arm Broken and n Hone Will IIqto to be Killed. While truck C, of No. 12 engine house, was coming down Carson street at S o'clock yester day in answer to an alarm from box 117, It ran into one of Stolzenbach it Pfiel's sand wagons. The tongue of tho truck was broken off and both horses went down. One was hurt so badly that he will have to be shot. Jhe other cannot be used in the fire department. Alex. Jenkins, the driver ot the sand wagon, is held responsible by tbe firemen for tho acci dent. Instead of being on his horses he was walking on tbe sidewalk, and did not mako an attempt to give tho truck the right of way. He was arrested for violating a city ordinance, bnt was released on bail. The fire was in an old row of frame shanties on the hillside near the Point bridge. The loss amounted only to a few hundred dollars and the rire was started from a defective flue. While w orking at the fire James Miller, ot No. 10 engine, had his arm broken. HE SAIS HE HAS THE SAXD. Alvin Joslyn Dcctnres lie Will Ilnlld n Tuentcr In I'ltlnbnrc. C L. Davis, the actor, tried to work a new advertising dodge in Pittsburg a few days ago. but the reporter' failed to catch on. He hap pened to be at the Anderson Hotel, and having heard for the first time of the Duquesne The ater to-be, he leaned against the counter, and with the air of a millionaire, remarked that he was the only man who had nerve enough to build a theater in Pittsburg, and he proposed to do it. "It takes sand," he continued, to do these things. I have both the sand and the money, and I mean business." The majority of those who heard "Alvin Joslyn"' concluded he meant anything hut busl. ness, and finally one man suggested that this was a new wrinkle to gain a little tree adver tising.

The passace of a resolution bytho last session of Councils to authorize Chief Bigelow, of :be Department of Public Works, to refurnish the Council chambers was much talked of yester day among the Councilmcn. Harry P. Ford, President of Select Council, said Pittsburg had perhaps the most shabby-looking furniture in her Council chambers of any city In the coun try, and tbo representative of the common branch concurred without any objection, although Hugh Ferguson, of the'Serenteenth ward, was within hearing distance, and A. C. Robertson, of the Thirty-fifth ward, who moved the resolntion, of courso supported it. Cliiet Bigelow said that he did not propose to furnish the chambers on a scale of mae nificence, with whito mahogany desks, plush upholstered chairs and topaz inkstands: did not know yet bnt the desks in service now were good enough, with a little furniture polish ap plied. He wonld lay new linoleum on the floors and make several improvements, but had not jet decided on their nature.

Tho meet ing was taken up entirely in discussing the contents ot a communication asking that the Humane Society instruct its agent to in vestigate tho treatment of patients at Dixmont Hospital. The writer stated that there was already sufficient evidence of abuses in his possession to warrant the society In taking the step requested of them. The discussion on tho proposition was participated in by all the members of the board and after tborongh debate, it was decided by a vote to postpone any instructions to tho Society's agents until the whole matter be talked over at tho next meeting, when an effort will be made to have tbe full membership or tho board present.

ADMIRED BY THE PUBLIC. Tbo Doors of the Comedo Library nt Lnit Thrown Open. The Carnegie Free Library was open yester day from S o'clock in the morning until 5 o'clock in tbe afternoon, and quite a number of persons passed through the building. Su perintendent Benjamin Waddlngton was in charge of the building. The engineer, Mr. Fisher, took care of the temperature, and the public evidently enjoyed the opportunity to ad mire the interior. Chairman Amnion, of the City Property Committee, thinks there will be no doubt as to the passage of the library ordinance by Select Council to-morrow night. Some of thoe who havo been opposed to Councilmanic control of tho library nowbelieve that it is time to do something. Mr. Arthur Kennedy said last night that the Councils under which the library was completed and accepted could hardly afford to bequeath the wrangle over the matter to the reorganized Councils. To-morrow evening will be the last meeting in Mayor Pearson's regime, and of the 28 votps in Coun cils, a careful counting of noses has shown the 14 votes necessary to pass the ordinance. A lively fight is in progress for the position of librarian between Erasmus Wilson and William Bently, with half a dozen scattering candidates. The position of assistant librarian seems to be conceded to Mr. Benny, now libra rian ot the Allegheny Public Library, in case a consolidation of the libraries takes place. Preparations are being made for the free organ recital, to be given between tbo hours of 3 and 5 o'clock next Saturday afternoon. Many com mendations of the plan have been heard from musical people in both cities. POLITICS AND nORSES. The Connly Democracy Adopts a New Con. stltntlou and By.Laws. The County Democracy last night adopted a new constitution and by-laws. There was nothing materially different in It from the ordinary code of regulations, and the meeting was quiet, not to say tame, until after adjourn ment, when the after piece was put on the stage. Jim Fox started the controversy by re lating Dick Johnston's experience with Johnny Ennis' mare, on Soho Hill, dnting tho late campaign, when the mare attempted to jump over a church steeple, and Mr. Johnston in sisted on a dissolution of partnership there and then. Fox insinnated that Ennis had lent the mare to Mr. Johnston in order to get him killed and out of the way. A friend of Ennis disputed the assertion, and the controversy grew hot, but T. O'Brien finally diverted the disputants by suggesting that 'Squire Boyle take her out on the country roads and work off some of her superfluous energy, so as to render her useful in the next campaign. She is said to have as many lives as a cat. HIS LAST VETO. Mayor Pearson Floors an Ordinance to Open n New Street. Tbe last veto of Mayor Pearson will appear at tho meeting of Allegheny Councils to-mor-morrow night. It is attached to the ordinance providing for the opening of a street from Har rison to Taggart street, in the Second ward. The real intention of tho promoters of tho or dinance was to have the street laid out so that a sen er could be built beneath it to drain a por tion of tbe vicinity that at present has no sewer connection, but need it badly, and In time of rain causes mud and water to accumulate on certain property. The Mayor vetoed the ordinance on account of a remonstrance against it. WHAT TEOPLE ARE DOING. Some Who Travel, Some Who Do Not, and Others Wbo Talk. E. S. Herford, representing Stafford shire potters, passed through the city yesterday, bound for Chicago. He says owing to strikes and an advance in raw materials the English prices have advanced 10 per cent. He says tbey are exporting large quantities of their wares to America. David McCoh, stenographer of the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern, road In this city has severed his position with that cora- 8 any and has gone to the Southern Pacific and bio River roads. Ex-State Senator J. W. Lee was at the Duquesne yesterday. Ho was returning from Wheeling, where be was interested in the trial ot tbe Barncsdale oil case. Of politics he said nix. as usual. J. W.

Mr. McKean had in his inside pocket, the plans for the first floor of the Government building, but they were to be submitted to tbe Supervising Architect belore thev will be given out. Mr. McKean facetiously remarked that everything would be fitted up in elegant style, and that lace curtains, etc., wonld be bung over the windows. A meeting of postmasters of the leading cities in the country will be held in Wash ington to-day to confer about the best methods of conducting the business. A number of new men have been appointed, and they may have some innovations to in troduce that would expedite business and facilitate tbe rapid handling of mall. Super intendent Collins said these conferences are always fruitful of good results. SLATED FOR MAYOR. Superintendent Felton, of Chicago, Inspects iho Western Penitentiary. C. E. Felton, Superintendent of the House of Correction of Chicago, was at tbe Schlosser yesterday. He had been to Buffalo to see an ill brother, and he came over to Pittsburg to get acquainted with the prison authorities. Mr. Felton fell into the hands of 'Squire Lindsay who, declared that his friend would be the next Mayor of the Windy City. Mr. Felton is quite a politician and very popular in his native city. He was very guarded, how ever, in what he said In the political line. Mr. Felton visited the Riverside Penitentiary and had a long conference with Warden Wright, Superintendent Warner, of the Workhouse, and Chaplain?Mllligan. After looking over Riverside he pronounced it a well kept institution. The pioblemof employing criminals so that they do not continue to come into competition with legitimate labor is still uppermost in the minds of prison managers. Mr. Felton declined to talk much about prison management. He preferred to drift to more pleasant su bjects. This morning he will visit tbe Reform bchool at Huntingdon. DULL RITiJR TRAFFIC. Snpt. Henderson Snys Freight Hasn't Been so Llfcht for months. The freight traffic on the river has been very dnll for the past two weeks. Superintendent Henderson, of tbe Pittsburg and Cincinnati line, says that he hasn't seen such poor busi ness for six months. Ho thinks it is due to tbe fact that a quarter has just been closed and people are holding off. He expects to see the traffic pick up shortly. The now rail and water classification has jnst been issued, and tbe rates will take effect April 15. Mr. Henderson says they will not hurt him very much. So far be has bad no trouble to find roads to carry his freight, and he doesn't anticipate any difficulty. Money talks every time, and established tariffs go for naught in such cases. Yesterday the Andes started for Cincinnati with a light load. Tbe packet Hudson Is due to-day. One of the pecullatities of packet life yesterday was tho number of people moving from place to place along tho river. The fathers loaded up their families and household effects on the boat. One man had eight rather small children, and the crew of tbe Andes bad considerable fun with the youngsters. THINKS HE'S THE RIGHT MAN. Mayor Pearson Talks Abont His Canvass for a New Office.

DIED BEFORE MIDNIGHT. The Second Victim of (he Stoop's Ferry Riot Expires nt tbe Hospital The Alleged Murderers nn Ignorant nnd SqanlldLot of Corslcan. The jail residents now number seven who are detained on a charge of murder, but the jail officials say that the latest addition is rather the worst class' of prisoners yet con fided to their care. The Italians taken for complicity in the murder of Michael Bell seem to be the most ignorant people who wr.ro ever imprisoned in the place, ihey did not know enough to let down the bunks pre pared for prisoners in tho cells, and laid down upon tho floor, sleeping there contentedly. When the watchman made bis rounds last night, on looking m ho could not see the men and had to open up tho cell to find the sleep ing Cupids, whose wings had been clipped. Antonio Bell, tbo son of the murdered man, was in tbe morgue last night, and was anxious to find out what national bank his father had a $5,000 deposit in, but having no bank book or knowledge of tho name of the bank in which tho deposit was made. Last evening another victim of the Italian fight was taken to Pittsburg, but on his arrival at the Pittsburg and Lake Erie depot was ut terly unable to understand the reporter's En glish or the interpreter's Italian. He was a resident of tbe opposition boarding house to Bell's at Stoop's Ferry, and is said to be a Cor sican. From what tho Interpreter conld gather from his patois It was understood that a ven detta had been declared and further trouble was expected. Antonio Refsa, tho second Italian injured In tho Stoop's Ferry riot, died at the Homeo- Sathic Hospital at"ll:45 last night. Refsa was i years of age and unmarried. He was a brotber-in-law of Michael Bell, tho other victim of the riot, and had a younger brother injured at tbe same time he received bis death wound. The inquest will be commenced this morning, and Constable P. J. Murphy, of Judge Grlpn's office, will be present with several witnesses and others interested whom he went to Stoop's Ferry after yesterday. AN ELECTRICIAN ELECTED. A Move by tho Allegheny Police Committee to Restore the City Wlro System. The Allegheny Police Committee met last night, and elected an electrician to take charge of the wires of tbe patrol service. Ever since tbo work has been given up by Chief Jones, of the fire department, who cared for all tho wires of that department, as well as those of the patrol system, the wires havo been in bad shape and wholly unreliable, sometimes working all right, but oftener not. Lately, however, they have become worse than ever, and when an officer makes an arrest now he takes bis prisoner to the nearest telephone, and calls for the patrol wagon through the Mayor's office, instead of calling from a patrol box. At the meeting last night Mayor Pear son called the attention of the committee to the matter, and handed in a number of appli cations irom persons desirous oi ncing appoint ed to look after tho wires. The committee united on the name of H. E. Dillon, an electrician ot ten years' experience, who bad a number of good letters of recom mendation. He will be considered a police officer, with the same pay, but will only be re quired to look after tbe patrol telegranh wires. The committee also approved tho bills and payrolls for the month.

WHAT A STRIKE COSTS Amalgamated Men Figuring on Three Idle Iron and Steel Mills. THEI SHUT DOWN FOR A NJRPUSE. Figures Showing the Cost of Production of a Ton of Product. LABOR GLEANINGS OF YESTERDAY. The labor circles arc somewhat agitated over the probable outcome of the three strikes now being waged in the iron mills of this city. A group of members of the Amalgamated Association were standing at the Dostoffice corner yesterday afternoon discussing the situation. It was the general opinion that the firms owning the "struck" mills were keeping shut down for a purpose. The men said the general condition of tbe iron business would not warrant such a long cessation from business. Tbey figured up what it would cost to close down the Tenth street mill of Oliver Bros. & Phillips, and the following is a statement of their calcu lations: Each 24 hours the company employs about 3,000 men. Their blast furnace, the Rosenaat New Castle, with an annual capacity of 60,000 tons, turns out 150 tons every 24 hours. Placing the cost of material and labor at 14 a ton, this would make 2.100. Tho average amonnt used in their Clapp-Griffith steel con verter in this city is jnst about 150 tons. The cost to convert it into ingots and roll it Into billets is about $10 per ton, or 51,500. AN AURAY OP FIGURES. In their three iron mills are nine single and double puddling and scrap furnaces. For a double turn supply it takes at least 200 tons of metal. This would amonnt to 3,400, and the average cost to finiBh it would be 3,000 more. Finishing the 150 tons of 4x4 billets in such grades and kinds as they are manufactured by this firm cannot bo done for less than So a ton, making 750 additional. The average consumption Is 60 tons. This amonnt is seldom less. Over half the time It runs to fully 75 tons a day. Fifty tons at 23 per ton w ould amonnt to 91,150. Then comes the gas bill, which, it is said, reaches about 1,000 a day for the steel mill and tho three iron plants. This would make an aggregate daily expense of 813,150. While tbey sell a great deal of rail steel, they buy far more muck iron. Last year tbey bought over 10,000 tons of muck bar, and made a little over 50,000 tons. The finished amonnt was over 100.000 tons. The amount of iron and steel in their Pittsburg plants is nearly 450 tons, but the figures above are estimated on a 400 ton a day run, which is below the average, in the last year and a half. WHAT THE IDLE COSTS.. Now comes a separate estimate on the Idle mill, which lias 33 puddling furnaces. Using 75 tons of metal at 17 a ton would be 31,275, and 14 a ton to finish it would ho 1,050 more. 50 tons of old rails and all kinds of other old scrap iron at 23 a ton would be 1,150, and then $10 a ton to manufacture it into nuts and bolts and other fine grades would be 500. The gas bill is 275. That would make the expense for this mill alone S4.245 a day, of which 1,500 is paid to the men. In addition to this, tbe firm Is con nected with tbe Oliver & Rooerts wire mill and the Oliver Iron and Steel Company, operating tbe Hainsworth Steel Works. The total daily expense of this firm, it is said, is abont 20,000. The Pennsylvania Tube Works, which is also now idle, is tbo second larcest pipe mill in the world, having altogether 11 lap and butt-weld furnaces, w ith a daily capacity of 400 tons. The average output in the last year, as given byMr. Joshua Rhodes, President of tbe works, has been 300 tons a day, and tbo average cost of a ton ot pipe Iron to be delivered at tbo works is about SJ5, making an expense for material alone of 13,500. And the cost to make a ton of pipes, Including tlio fuel, is about 10, which would be 3.000, making an outlay each day of over $16,000. Tbe Keystone Mill, which is also Idle, has 3G furnaces. It consumes in two turns So tons of metal at 17 per ton. This would amount to $1,445, and tbe cost to finish it is $1,160. The gas amounts to $230, a total expense of 2,605 a day. A NEW UNION FORMED. The German Journalists Lenvo tho K. of L. nnd Are Now Independent. A meeting of representatives of L. A. 904. German Journalists, and members of Typo graphical Union No. 9, German printers, was held yesterday afternoon in Ruppel's Hall. The object was to investigate the trouble in the Volksblalt office.

The dncl was with revolvers loaded with blank cart ridges, but tho fact was unknown to tbo prin cipals. Rudolph insulted Bond a few days ago wbilo they were calling on a lady.

TbinUingto humiliate Bond. Rudolph sent him a challenge. Bond accepted at once andnamedswords, but through a mutual friend was indncea to make it revolvers. Tbo mutual friend loaded the guns with blank cartridges, and the party left tbe city at 4 o'clock this morning, after attempting to ob tain tlio services oi a pnysician. The doctor threatened to have the party arrested, and thev concluded to go without medical aid. Rudolph was let into the blank cartridge secret, but Bond was in dead earnest all through, having written letters to his mother and friends, to be delivered in caso he fell. On tlio ground Bond fired in tbe air and then stood up and took bis opponent's discharge, repeating this on the second fire. Tbe principals then said thev were satisfied and returned to the city. Tbe Prose cuting Attorney is in possession of the facts. All of the parties are of the highest standing. TEMPORARILY BALKED. A Divorce Salt Mopped by tho Defendant's Sadden Illnc.s. ISPKCIAI.

The Custodians of tbe New Federal Build. Ins All Selected. Captain John F. Dravo, the new Collector of the Port, is being overwhelmed by ambitious gentlemen who desire to become his clerks and officials. He has not as much patronage as has formerly appertained to tho Surveyorship, by reason of the appointment of Postmaster Mc Kean as Cnstodlan of the Federal Buildings in Fittsbnrg. Tbe appointments of Mr. McKean's subordinates In the care and custody of the Federal buildings have all been canvassed, and and will be announced within a few days after Captain Dravo assumes charge of the Custom House. Tbe date of the change is not yet de termined upon, but it will probably be within ten days. Custodian McKean has quite a little list of positions within his gift, but desired to make them without being subjected to tbe usual "pressure" applied to such matters. There are three quite desirable plums within Captain Dravo's gift, tbe first deputy, second deputy and Examiner of Customs. Tho balance of the positions aro ordinary Federal clerKships. There aro from three to four applicants for every position in sight. Among tho most active are the officials who were dis placed four years ago by Collector Barr. The rumors that a coolness of any nature had arisen between President Paul of the Anicricns Club, and Postmaster McKean, is treated with derision by all concerned. Messrs. McKean and Paul meet at Chamberlain's hotel tbis morning in Washington, and it is no breach of confidence to say that they will eat breakfast at the same hotel.

The Court Decision in the Heading Case is Considered Pinal. CONTROLLER MORROW JUBILANT. John S. Lambie Cannot See llie Great Cause for Rejoicing-. EXTRACTS FR03I THE DECISION City Attorney Moreland yesterday morn ing received a copy of Judge "Williams' decision banded down irom the Supreme Court in the case of Daniel Shoaber against the city of Heading. The city of Heading, under the net of 1874. undertook to open Fifth street through the property of Daniel Shoaber, whereupon Shoaber filed a bill of equity to restrain'the city from acting other wise than it had prior to the adoption of the act of 1874. Prior to the adoption of this act of 1874 by the city the plan of procedure to open streets had been through tbe Quarter Sessions Court. It was held that tbe act of 1874 is unconstitutional and that the city had no municipal authority to act in the matter. WHAT TIIE COUET SAYS. Jndge Williams, in his opinion, says: "There is no constitntional question in this case, nor i3 there the slightest resemblance between it and the recent case of in ro Revan street, not yet reported. In that case no question was raised over the exercise of any municipal powers. Tbe right of the cities of either class to dis charge the functions of municipal government wa3 freely conceded. Among these Is tbe lay ing out of streets, the decision of the question when for municipal pnrposes their opening should take place, how tbey shall be paved, curbed, sewered, lighted. Wbat was denied was the right of tbe Legislature to make classi fication of cities the basis of legislation for them on subjects not relating to tbe organiza tion or administration of tbeir municipal gov ernments, but to questions of public concern, such as the forms of procedure in the conrts of the State; tbe rate of interest; exemption of property from levy and sale and legal process; tbe mode of proceeding to secure to a citizen compensation for an entry on his property for public use by virtue of the right of eminent domain and the like. "In other words we held that while tbe classification of cities authorizes all necessary legislation for them as cities, in the manage munt of tbeir municipal affairs, it is not made threo separate states within tbe territorial limits of Pennsylvania, for each of which there may be different laws on subjects of a general character from tboso In force in the rest of the Commonwealth. On the other hand, whila cities may have tbe legislation needful to. the proper regulation and discharge of municipal powers, they are under the Constitution and tbey must remain a part of tbe State of Penn sylvania for all purposes not rcunicip?l and subject to all laws of the State and all subjects not of municipal concern. It is plain that no such question Is involved in tbis case. How tbe city of Reading seized and appropriated private property to public use. It went into the Court of Common Pleas to give security and obtain an assessment of damages. This was exactly in accordance with the act of 1574, and with the decision of this conrt in Spring street, supra, and the decree of the court below Is affirmed. HAPPY AS COULD BE. Controller Morrow, whose pet twin children are the sinking fund and tbe street bills, looked as pleased as If be had received a large con tribution to tbe mission fund when he heard tbe above, rnbbed bis hands with glee and said his bill was now all right, and the widening of Diamond street might commence as quickly as a Washington street game ot "craps." JIaior Moreland also thought that tho de cision settled the Injunction case at present in the county court, and made the widening of Diamond street a certainty. It also sustained Judge Ewlng's decision tbat the street bill wa3 constitutional. ' John S. Lambie came into the Controller's office a few minutes later and said that if the Controller and City Attorney felt jubilant over this decision they were very easily mado happy. The way that he saw it, tbe decision of Judge Williams bad about as much to do with tbe Pittsburg case as tho Westminster Confession. It bad no bearing at all on tbe matter, as the Reading case was of a totally different nature. Controller Morrow during this oninion wore the pensive expression of a man who has just stepped on a carnet tack, but he still avowed an nndying belief In the constitutionality of his street bill. Itlny nnd December Fall Oal. May and December, in the sbapo of Mrs. Meinhardt, aged Z0 years, and her husband, old enough to be her grandfather, were before the Mayor of Allegheny yesterday.
