WILL TICK NO MORE,
Stock Quotations Shut
From Bucket Shops.
Off
ALL THE WIBES CUT OUT.
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.

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. LEGAL FIGHT FOU $20,000.

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.

names of his appointees.
XI) ACTIOS TAKEN
On an Urgent Request, Blade In Writing, of
the Humane Society.
Tbe Board of Directors of the Humane
Society met yesterday afternoon. 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.
General Agent O'Brien reported that himself
and Assistant Agent Berryman had been look
ing after the teamsters in tbe Shadyside and
East End district, and would keep a watch
until tho cruelties to horses were entirely
stopped. Agent Berryman reported the prose
cution of Hugh Meters At McKeesport before
Justice Fields on a charge of cruelty to ani
mals. The agents were instructed to request
tbe Superintendent of tbe Transverse street
car line to restore the service of the postillions
that havo been dispensed with for some time.

ing named persons: Mrs. C. Yeager, 15; Mrs.
J. I Cravens, $1: Mrs. A. C. Dnncan, tl: Mrs.
Catherine Anshutz, SI; James McEIroy, $L Al

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.

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.

Mayor Pearson Talks Abont His Canvass
for a New Office.
Mayor Pearson stated last night that his can
vass for the position of Chief of the Depart
ment of Public Safety under the second-class
regime, was in a peculiarly gratifying condi
tion. His many friends in Councils have made
definite promises of support which almost as
sure him tbe position at the proper time.
Mr. Pearson said that there were many im
portant matters in connection with the depart
ment system that required experience with
municipal matters, and ho modestly thought
himself to be about tbe right man for the place.

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.
RAIDING SPEAK-EASIES.
The Second District Police Propose to Con
tlnnc tbe Good Work.

der orders from the Department of Public
Safety, yesterday continued tho work of raid
ing speak-easies. This work is to be kept up

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 men there suddenly became dissatisfied
with tho settleinentof thedifUculty and decided
to leave the Knlgnts of Labor. They formed
themselves into an independent association and
named it German Journalist's Union No. 1.
They will make an effort to make it a national
organization by affiliating with the German
journalists of other cities.
JOHN EHMAN HOME.

ISrKCIAI. TEMORAM TO THE DISrATCn.l
Wheeling, April L William Bond and
James Rudolph, two young society youths,
fought a duel at a point about three miles cast
of this city at 5 o'clock tbis morning. 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. Bond, who
is noted for his excessive nolitencss,and whom
Rudolph nnd his friends looked upon as a
harmless dude, wrote a note to Rudolph in
which be administered a caustic lecture on eti
quette. 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.

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.

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.

MILLINERY.
With such delightful weather a Millinery
Opening at HORN'E'S could scarcely fail to be
a success. Yesterday exceeded all our hopes.
Plenty new to-day. Everybody welcome.

The half cannot be told on paper.
Real dreams of loveliness, these
Paris, London, New York and Pitts
burg conceits in headwear. A
thousand pieces of headwear, and
no two alike. You will think the
number ten thousand and never
look at the fiftieth part of them till
yon buy. Every conceivable thing In
Millinery, from a massive brimmed and
elaborately trimmed canopy, a regular
menace to a slender neck, to a myster
ious jumble ot velvets and lace and
ribbon tbat would scarcely no taken for
a hat at all.
PARASOLS.
The center or the store is the Parasol JIart.
There every lover of beautiful colors and artis
tic conceits, meets the objects to be adored.
Tne re is a reserve to fill tbe ranks as customers
make their selection. But the choice will be
tho first to go, and opening days always see a
goodly portion of the prettiest things go out.
Judging from yesterday's attendance this fact
is well understood in tbeso cities. Don't fail to
be among the choosers of Parasols during the
opening days.
