K Mayor-Elect Wyman Announ ces a Trio of Appointees. M STARTLING SUBPBISES. County Delectire Langhorst's Hustle Hurt Aim. Hot SOME KOETHSIDE SPECULATION Mayor-elect 'Wyman unsealed his lips last evening and told a DisrATCH represen tative who his appointees for the three prin cipal official gilt were, and what his policy as Allegheny's chief magistrate would be. The list was as tersely expressed as the policy. "f khall appoint John R. Murphy Chief oflolice,"said Mr. "Wyman. "My clerk will be Henry Hunneshagen, clerk under my first term, and my friend James Steele will take Mr. Murphy's place on the de tective force. Xo other appointments will be made until May 1. As to my policy as Mayor for the second time of this city, I will inaugurate a progressive era, and will closely watch matters of public interest. Further than that, I shall leave the public to judge by the outcome of the future." The appointment of Mr. Murphy has been thoroughly discounted. He is a big man, with genial manners, and has been the chief detective under Mayor Pearson. THE COhTEST GREW TOO TVABM. The appointment of Mr. James Steele as Mr. Murphy's successor is considered to be the official cooking ol County Detective Langhorst's goose. The latter has been Mr. Murphy's principal opponent, and it is cur rent rumor that so much bitterness was in jected into the canvass by Langhorct as to preclude his dwelling with the chief in unity in the front office. Mr. Steele has been a deputy sheriff, and is active in local politics. Mayor "Wyman will cot say anything abont Mr. Lang horst, simply remarking that Mr. Lang liorst "had not applied" for a front office force. Henry Hunneshagen, the Mayor's clerk, was Mayor Wynian's first nomination six years since. George It. Bothwell was Mayor Pearson's appointee as clerk, and Mr. Hunneshagen served in another capa city, but Mr. Bothwell resigned, and the genial Henry came on deck again. Mr. "Wyman wis as mum as a clam about tbe contest 01 JMr. 1. a. btayton, and sim ply remarked that high noon would find him on deck, prepared to take both the iron-clad oath and the office. He refused to talk about police changes, the knowing ones are not so reticent. SOME OF THE SrECtTLATIONS. There are three detectives cow in the front office who are booked for retention, vii.: John Glenn, Sam McClure and Will iam Eichenlaub. Considerable disturb ances may take place in the police officials cow holding office. Opinions are divided as to Captain Richard "Wilson's retention. He has been a faithlul and efficient officer, and it is stated that some friends of Mr. "Wyman, who tried to turn the lockup into a beer garden and got put behind the bars to cool off a little, are the parties who are clamoring for his removal. Captain "Wil son enjoys considerable popularity, and his friends claim him to be "all right." changes are to be made in the lieutenants. George McNcmery and B. P. Clark are the day men. and Thomas Scott. W. J. "Wilson, James Thornton, Hugh Livingston and 9ohn Shields the night men. Several of these are to be displaced by men from the ranks. Of tbe 67 dnv and night men. the li patrol wagon emploves, and the two op erators, about two-thirds are appointees, of .ftlavor Pearson. Xne balance were appoint ed by Mr. "Wyman, and are cot only sure of retention, but liable to get preferment. LOTS OF LIVELY EIGHTS. An immense list of city officials is to be put through the Councils caucus to-night. There are lively fights on hand in several instances. The City Solicitorship pays $2,500 per annum, and Messrs. George Elphinstone and David Alston are up to the ears in a lively contest, with chances inclining to the pres ent incumbent, Mr. Elphinstone. For Fire Chief, Robert Jones, present incumbent, is warding off the vigorous attacks of John Lemon, ex-Chief of Friendship Hose Com pany. The chances are again slightly in lavor of the incumbent. Unexpected opposition has developed against Superintendent Armstrong, of trie City Water "Works, coming from George Trim, an engineer therein. Mr. Armstrong's friends buy pools on his prospects of win cing. James Bradley has no organized op position tor Health Officer, and Superin tendent Hamilton, of the Parks, wouldn't know what opposition was if he met it in the street. The balance of the city officials are anxious to make the riffle, as they want to be in the push when the city goes into second class. -o orrosiTios- to them. There was a secret scheme sprung last week, to secure the defeat of President James Hunter, of Common Council, at the reorganization to-day. As it was in the middle of a term the movement was not en couraged and fell through. Messrs. Hunter and Lindsay are without opposition. Great cariosity is felt as to the member ship of the new standing Committee ou the Free Library, which will consist of nine Common Councilmen and seven Select members. The Presidents of each branch choose the membership, and there is con siderable speculation as to who will serve, and tbere are opinions expressed that those who are placed on the Library Committee may be taken off other committees. The fallowing slate of the new committee may be broken, but it will not be far from the mark: From Select Council: Edwin Lare, Arthur Kennedy, G. "W. Snaman, Morris Einstein, J. R. Henricks, J. W. Labugh and C. A. Muehlbronner. From Common Council: C. C. Hax, Harry C. Robison, Thomas A. Parke, Adam Amnion, C. "W. Keeb, C. W. Dahlinger, E. A. Knox. T. C. Harbison and Simon Drum. The Presidents of Councils will be members ex officio. A PLEASANT PliUSPtCT. How PUIsbnre Hunting nnd Flailing Clubi Tnko lo the Lakes. F. E. Randall, General Eastern Agent of the Detroit and Cleveland Navigation Com pany, arrived in the city yesterday. Mr. Randall said he was cot a weatber prognos ticator, but he believed it would be a hot summer, and the botter it is the better it will be for the excursion business. Mr. Randall said, however, that Pitts burgers pay no attention to tbe heat or cold, and tbe numerous hunting and fishing clubs will have their annual outings anyhow. During the summer the St. Clair river is lined with camping parlies from Pittsburg, and it has gotten to be such a common sight that the people in that territory have dubbed it New Pittsbuig. The Argonaut Club has bought property on tbe Indian river, and tbe members pro pose to build cottages this spring lor their own pleasure. The leading spirits in the club are Messrs. Gasbelle, the real estate agent, and Laird, the shoe man. Mr. Ran dall thinks the prospects for the summer excursion business are brighter than they were at this time last year. Six years ago Mr. Randall said the clubs camped along the two rivers, and few of them went over on the lakes. Some now go to Erie, others into the wilds of Canada, and many seek the Mackinac Islands and points in the "Upper Lakes. Mrs. Wrllzel, tbe Mining Woman, Brooded Over feome Household Care Nothing Learned ns to Her Wherenboala Her Letter bkede No Light. The disappearance of Mrs. Kate Weitxel from her home in Allentown Saturday after noon, an account ot which was publisbed ex clusivelv in yesterday's Dispatch, is still a coinpletemystery. The story of her going away, as told by her father, Mr. A. Binder, member of Select Council from the Thirty-first ward, and other members of his family,is that on Satur day afternoon, between 5 and 6 o'clock, Mrs. Weitzel came .to. the rear door of her father's store, at tbe corner of Maple street andMcLain avenue, and, call ing one of her little brothers, asked him to go and stay with her little boy. There were a great many persons in the store at the time and no further attention was paid than lor them to look to see who had called. From that moment she appears to have dropped out of sight. Mr. Binder, the the father, said last eight that the letter she left behind did not furnish sufficient evidence of a controlling motive to satisfy him. Mr. Weitzel said, as does the miss ing woman's letter, that for the last ten weeks she had been brooding over some trouble, real or imaginary. He was formerly inclined to think that her morosc ness was due to a depression that seemed to have seized her after the birth of her last baby. Until that time she had always been a cheerful, lively dispositioned woman, which suddenly changed. Always during those weeks when he came home from work he found her moody and silent. "When urged to tell him the reason for her brooding she would make some cheerful reply that concluded further questioning, although there were times when she spoke voluntarily of some trouble tbat was Killing ber. On Saturday morning when Mr. Weitzel left home for work his wife cheerfully bade him goodbv. The matter was reported to the police by Councilman Binder, who, with his son-in-law, has looked everyplace where they sup posed she would be likely to go. A CHArTEE OP FDNEEAIS. The 6onthslde Has More Tans u Dozen on Easier Afternoon. The undertakers of the Southside were never so busy in one day as they were yesterday. No less than 15 funerals took place in the afternoon. Some of the undertak ers had two or three. Several of the deceased were prominent residents of that side of the river. The largest funeral was that of Adam Grabenstein, who died on Friday at his home on Mt. Oliver. Mr. Grabenstein was formerly a teacher in the Birmingham Turn Yerein, and was a prominent member of several other orders. Representatives from the Mt Oliver and Ladder Com pany, Schiller Lodge, A. O. U. W., Olive Lodge, L O. O. F., the Birmingham Turn Verein and the Allegheny Gymnastic Club, attended the "funeral. Interment was made in the TroyJHill cemetery, Allegheny. The funeral of Mrs. Maggie A. Dn Shane took place from th-Carson Street M. E. Church. The deceased was an active mem ber ot tbe Daughters ot Liberty, in which she held a commission as National Deputy, an honor never be ore conferred upon a female member of the order. Councils from Allegheny, West End, Mt. Washington, Homestead and Lawrenceville.logetherwith Unity Council No. 14, of which Mrs. Du Shane was a member, attended the funeral in a body. The council bad charge of the funeral and the services were per formed at the church. Jerry Finch, a prominent member of Smoky City Council No. 119, Jr. O. U. A. M., was buried in the Southside Cemetery by his council. Lieutenant Geary Post had charge of the funeral of David Denkel, one of their mem bers, whoiived on South Tenth street. Among the other .funerals which took place, were those ot "Mrs. Mary Haupt, mother of Herman Haupt and Mrs. Laura Greevcs, of the head of South Twenty seventh street. The majority of the re mainder were children ranging in age from one to five years. It was a secret society day in a sense. Nearly all of the grown persons had been members of some order and these turned out in large cumbers to lay away the remains of their departed members. The Daughters of Liberty created quite an impression owing probably to the membership being composed almost entirely of women, who proved their loyality to their deceased fellow member, by marching eighteen squares in the hot sun over rough streets. I0DNG, BUT A SOT. A Lad Eleven Yram Old Arretted for Being Helplessly Drunk. George Ferguson, aged 11, and whose residence is No. 5 Arthur street, was found early yesterday morning by Superintendent Dean, of the Anti-Cruelty Society, on Fourth avenue in a helpless state of intoxi cation. The boy is about 3 feet 2 inches in height, and of a light copper color, while his elder brother is much darker, being a mulatto. He lied with a grace and facility which astonished even the police authori ties, who are accustomed to hard cases. He first claimed to have stolen a bottle of whisky from his sister, but afterward said the liquor had been given him by a man named Daniels, who lives, he said, in Pig alley. It appears the boy is in the habit ot Irequenting low saloons and speak-easies and dancing for the frequenters, who ply him with liquor. Superintendent Dean handed the little drunkard over to Tom Druitt. who says he will try to reform the youth it his relatives and friends are not allowed to interfere. If they do, the boy will be sent at once to Mor ganza, so as to take him away from his evil associations. 0PF1CEKS ELECTED Br the Tonng Men's Hebrew Association for tbe Ensuing Year.

" TMLEAGUE -WARNED Musicians May Place a Boycott on Ihe Old Baseball Club. GREAT WESTERN BAND IN TROUBLE. Pittsburg- to Send Delegates to the Working Girls Meeting. CUT NAILS A DKUG ON THE MAEEET The Musicians' Mutual Protective Union is anxiously awaiting the reply of Manager GuyHecker, ot the National League base ball club, in regard to the engagemeutof the Great Western Band for the opening game on the 10th inst. Mr. Hecker told, the committee that waited upon him that he would give them an answer by to-morrow. If the answer is not satisfactory, the union will ask other labor organizations to boycott the National League the old club. Manager Hecker says he hired the band upon the assumption that its members were union men. The members of the band are organized in a local assembly of the Knights of Labor, but are not recognized by the M. M. P. U. Nearly every one of the members of the band is an expelled member of the other organization, and all are treated as non-union men. HOW THE MATTER STANDS. When the League club hired the band, a committee from the M. M. P. U. waited upon Manager Hecker and asked him to cancel the engagement. This Hecker conld not do, and the matter was referred to Secre tary Scandrett. The latter wants to have the band play at the opening, but on ac count of there being an opposition club in the city, and the latter club has a union band, he is a little timid at the prospect. The Brotherhood club was also after the Great Western Band, but the League got there first. Manager Hanlon was glad, under the circumstances, that he did not get the Great Western Band, and straightway hired the Grand Army Band, which is in the M. ALP. U. In regard to the trouble, Samuel Mo MicKaels, one of the directors of the M. M. P. U said last night: "The M. M. P. U. is the only union of musicians in this city, and it belongs to the National League of Musicians. The latter organization is affiliated with the Federation of Labor, and we have the sup port of all the Pittsb'urg unions belonging to the Federation. We are also represented in the Trades Council, and have the sup port of that body, with all of its affiliated organizations. KOT A MASKED THREAT. "If the Xeague manager wants to hire n non-union baud to play for his club that is his business, but the labor organizations can withhold their patronage from the cames at Recreation Park. In view of the differences between the League and the Brotherhood, and the probable effect the opening game will have on the season's business, I would advise tbe League to employ Union people. In Boston and Washington they came to grief by going up against a snarl of this kind." The Great Western Band was also wanted for the six-days' walking match, but Mana ger Davis refused to hire it when he lound it did not belong to the M. M. P. U. At the last match tbe band furnished the music, and a quiet but quite effective boycott was worked against the entertainment. Mr. Davis hired tbe band at the time with the understanding that it was composed of union men. They produced their K. of L. cards, and thinting it was all right he gave-them the engagement, but he wouldn't do so again. THE WORKING GIELS' CLUB. Sonlhslde Will Send Delegates to tbe New Tork Convention. The Progressive Club, composed of work ing girls ot the Southside, will meet to-night and elect two delegates, in the persons of Miss Haller and Mrs. R. H. Jones, to at tend the first convention of the Associations of Working Girls' Societies in the Metro politan Opera House, New York, April 15, 16 and 17. There has been no definite pro gramme arranged as yet for the convention, but the business will include a permanent organization of a national association, and a general arrangement of things so that the various clubs which have recently been or ganized in all of the larger cities, will have a uniform system of proceeding with the work of their clubs. The objects of these clubs have been folly explained in The Dispatch, and they have met with such universal approval that four clubs have been organized in Alle gheny county two in Allegheny and two in Pittsburg. It is the purpose to enlist all girls, who, by reason of being compelled to earn their own livelihood, and in many cases support a widowed mother besides, in the work. The evenings ot the week will be divided. Night school will be held ope evening and dress cutting and fitting will occupy a second, and so on, something of a permanent value during the whole week. It is likely that the most of the time at the New Tork convention will be consumed by addresses by prominent members of the association in the East, who will outline the work: it is proposed to take up. The. Southside club has moved, or will move to-day, into their new quarters at 1104 Carson street, where rooms will be fitted up and occupied for the purposes of ihe club. FOE THE PRINTERS' HOME. Typographical Union No. 7 Donates 8750 for lis Erection: Typographical Union No. 7 met yesterday afternoon and installed new officers. Alter the installation, it was decided to levy an assessment of 10 cents per month on each member for one year, for the benefit ot the erection of- tbe home for superannuated printers, in the West.

A committee was elected to revise the constitution and by-laws. The new scale was reported, bnt action thereon was deferred for a special meeting to be held next Sunday. VERGING ON ITS FINAL STAGE. Tbe Cnt Nail Said to be DlnUIng Its Farewell Appearances. The conflict between wire and cut nails is now thought to be fast -approaching a crisis. It is a common thing for Pittsburg jobbers to receive letters from customers asking them if they will bny the stock of cut nails on hand, as he no longer has any sale for them. The South and Southwest are now the last strongholds of the cut nail, and they are fast being invaded. Cat nails are selling out of store on a $2 25 bate, and wire nails at ?2 75. ,, . Tile Layers to Work1 Nine Hoars. Tbe Tile Layers, Jobbers4Bnl Pjece-work-ers' Union No. 1 have elected Ihe following officers for the ensuing ' yearrVV1. E.

The secodd annual reception of the Iron Molders Union of North America, No. 46, of Pittsburg, will be held in Imperial Hall, on the evening of April 11 - . MUSIC IN THE AIR. The Original Roynls,Wlll Sao Persons Using Their Name They Are Billed for Three Dances This Evening How mistakes Are Made. The members ol the Original Royal Ital ian Orchestra are considering the advisabil ity of prosecuting clubs and organizations which use the name of the orchestra when the latter has not been engaged to play for them. The dancing season reopens this evening, and tbe orchestra is billed to play at three different receptions. It has an en gagement to play for the members of the Mouongahela Club, at Salisbury Hall, on the Southside, and is also announced to be at the Union RinkjinJAllegheny, and at Or pheus Hall, in the East End. At the latter place the Carroll Club wili give a reception, bnt the Original Royal Orchestra will not furnish the music. For some time past it has been a practice among certain socials organized to give dancing receptions for the purpose of mak ing money, to hire a cheap band and put the "Orig'inal Royals" on their invitations. The orchestra is composed of trained Italian musicians, who make a specialty o( dance music A great many young men about town follow the band to balls, and prefer to go where it will play. As a result, they are disappointed when they go to a recep tion and find an inferior orchestra there. In speaking of the matter last eight Colonel McMichael, prompter of the or chestra, said: "We will make it warm for the persons who use our name for the purpose of attracting a class of dancers who are not particular at which ball they put in the evening. I was told that the Carroll Club put our name on the invitations through a mistake, but these mistakes have occurred too often. The Creston Club also made a mistake when it put our came down on its cards. On Tuesday evening we will play on Duquesne Heights, and are also billed to play in the Lawrenceville Rink. We will find some way of stopping the business, and a number of well-known young men about the town will come to grief. We are a chartered corporation and intend to keep our name. If we cannot doit in any other way we will prosecute them." BATHER A QUEER FREAK. A Tonng Girl Who Preferred to Sleep In Cellars to Going Home Maggie Harman, aged 15 years, was ar rested about 2 o'clock yesterday morning. It is alleged by the officer tbat Miss Harman has been wandering about the streets of the East End late at night, and sleeping in new houses in the course of construction for some time past, bnt they never could catch her. Early yesterday Mr. R. E. Sparr, who lives off South Highland avenue, near Ellsworth avenue, was awakened by a noise in his cellar. He called the officer and a search was made. Away in one corner of the cellar they found Miss Harman lying under a lot of matting. When asked what she was doing there, she said she had been sleeping there for two weeks, and also par taking of what eatables were in the cellar. She gained an entrance to the cellar by remov ing one of the windows, and would climb in alter the family had retired. Miss Harman's parents live on Larimer avenue. At the hearing yesterday morning Mr. Harman said he conld do nothing with her, and all she did was to run the streets. Magistrate Hyndman sent her to the work house for SO days. ENFORCING THE LAW.

Hoir the Night Search for the Parties Was Conducted. Guilty THE BULLET FITS WEEMS' WEAPON The police authorities ate perfectly satis fied that they have tbe murderer pf young John O'Hara, in the person of Lucien Weems, who wis caught within an hour after the deed, as published in yesterday's Dispatch. The police worked all night on the case, Inspector McAleese refusing to go home until the pistol was found. The men arrested are Honk Harris, Charles Gance, George Kelsey, Will Johnson, Lu cien Weems, Frank Seymour, Edward Mer edith and Edward Powell. The last three are not concerned in the crime, the In spector says, and will probably be turned loose to-day. The woman, Lottie Johnson, to whose house Weems went immediately after the shooting, in a state of great agitation, is also in the Central station, and will most proba bly be held as a witness. Detective Fitzgerald took Harris with him yesterJay morning, and Detective Robinson took charge of Kelsey, in order, if possible, to get the guilty party located and identified. During all the time Harris was with the detective he refused to tell anything, but Kelsey was more communi cative. He told Detective (Robinson that Weems had done the shooting, and had thrown away the revolver afterward. The weapon was picked up by Johnson and handed to Kelsey, he said, with Johnson's own revolver. DIFFERENCE IN THE PISTOLS. Kelsey started of with Harris, and while walking, drew the cartridges from both pistols and handed the one belonging to Weems over to Harris. It was a 32-calibre, whiie Johnson's which he kept with him, was a 38. Kelsey and Harris separated on Clark street, the former going home to Clark court. Before entering the house, however, he threw Johnson's revolver behind some ash barrels in the alley, where it was atter ward found by Detective Robinson. Kelsey was then returned to the Central station. Harris was told of Kelsey's confession and the finding of the revolver, and he ac knowledged it to be true, and proceeded with his own story. He said that after he had left Kelsey he'started up Wylie avenue with Weems' pistol in his possession, and met two young colored girls, one ot whom he knew, going to market. Ella Talbot had a basket on her arm, and Harris slipped the revolver into it, telling the girl it was notloaded. Detectives Robinson and Fitzgerald then started on a still hunt for Ella Talbot, whom they found with her 'parents, on Fulton street, near Clark. This was abont 3 A. M., and the girl was in bed. When told by the officers what they wanted; she took a fit of hysterics, which was calmed finally by judicious hints of giving her a trip in the patrol wagon. She finally acknowledged having dropped the revolver in a sewer on Clark street. SEAECHING THE SEWEES. Inspector McAleese hired a man to search the sewer, and with some difficulty secured his services for a couple of dollars. He first went into the drop at the corner of Clark and Fulton, but without finding the weapon. He then tried a drop about 125 feet below Fulton on Clark, and the colored man, finding the water very deep and very cold, refused to go under. In groping around, though, a sort of shelf was struck. upon which lay the revolver which had done the shooting the 32-caliber one, Detective Sol Coulson, in the meantime, was combing the colored settlements for Weems, and, as stated in yesterday's Dis patch, he cornered him in the house of Lottie Johnson, who is alleged to be his sweetheart. Both were promptly taken to Central station by Mr. Coulson, where Weems has since stubbornly refused to say anything of tbe matter. Lottie Johnson was more communicative, and admitted that Weems had come to her house about 11 p. M., and sat down upon a lounge, weep ing bitterly. Lottie asked him what was wrong, and he told her it was better for her not to know, and that he was in trouble. He then laid down on the lounge and went to sleep, but tossed and mourned during his slumber. Lottie, fearing that something was very wrong.awoke Weems and asked him again what was the matter, but he declined to state, saving it was for her own good not to know. He again began to weep, with his head between his hands, in whichposition he was found by Detective Coulson. SAYS HE CONFESSED. William Johnson, who picked up the pistol when Weems threw it down, yester day told Inspector McAleese that Weems confessed to him having fired the shot, and also that he shot to kill. Johnson will, of course, be held as an important witness for the Commonwealth. Deputy Coroner Berry yesterday impan eled the Coroner's jury, as follows: James Riddel, Edward Foran, William Geilfuss, John H. Yoskamp. Charles Geilfuss and H. Grant Miller. When the remains were viewed at the home ot the deceased the in quest was adjourned until 2 P. si. to-morrow. An autopsy was ordered, and Drs. Moyer and Guy McCandlcss conducted it. They found the ball had penetrated the left side, deflected from a rib, which it broke, and passing through the heart and both lungs lodged just below tbe skin on the right side. The bullet was extracted and found slightly flattened at the point, caused by striking the rib. The bullet is pronounced by the doctors to be a 32-caliber, weighing one sixth of an ounce. This corresponds with the pistol carried by Weems. Death was instantaneous, the doqtors say. Chief Brown yesterday expressed himself as highly pleased with the manner in which the case was conducted by the police, con sidering the slightness of the clews left to handle and the roundabout manner in which the murderer's pistol was disposed of. WHERE AMERICANS GET LEFT. Tho Finest Clears of Cuba Go lo Bismarck nnd Other Great Enropenm. "It may be surprising to an American," said a recent visitor to Cuba to the St. Louis Republic's "Man About Town" the other day, "but the best Havana cigars do not come to the United States, bnt go to Ger many and England. The United States millionaires may think tbey aro smoking the best cigars Cuba can produce, but they are not. In one factory I visited I saw the cigars made for Prince Bismarck, the late German Chancellor. Ther were large and black looking, but were of the finest tobacco grown in the State, and cost 25 cents each in Cuba, and I also saw the cigars made for the Prince of Wales and various other English noblemen. "Foreigners of wealth have tbeir cigars made to order and named to suit them. I do not knpw of one rich American who does so. Our Government has a peculiar law re garding importations, which prevented our bringing up so mo good cigars other than what I could carry in my hand. This is that not less than 3,000 cigars can be imported. If it were.not-for this law everyone who wanted cigars could jnst write down to Cuba and tell his cigar man to send him a hun dred or two by mail. And then tbe import ers would have to give up business. Na poleon III. used to get tbe pick of tbe finest leaf in the Vnelta Aba jo district, just as'he had tbe call on tbe select grapes of the French vineyards for his champagnes." Not excelled by any high-priced liniment, Salvation Oil, 25 cents a bottle. AN UNKNOWN MAN HURT. Bis Name Supposed to be A. M. Brown, of Sharpsburg He Fell From a Moving; Train A Child Takes n Dois of Iodine by Mlstnkc. An unknown man was taken to the Alle gheny Hospital in an unconscious condi tion. He was picked up at Sharpsburg by Pittsburg and Western employes, who say that be was seeing a friend off, and in at tempting to jump from the train was thrown against a pier of the Sharpsburg bridge. The doctors examined him carefully, but he bears no external marks ot any kind. The physicians think he was struck below the base of the brain. The man is apparently abont 30 years of age, with light moustache and hair and blue eyes and has the appearance of being Ger man. He was dressed in a complete dark suit, a soft felt hat and wore boots. Tbe collar of his linen shirt is marked "A. M. Brown," which is probably his name, but nobody in Sharpsburg knew anybody ot that name. In all probability the man will die before morning. On Saturday last a 2-year-old child of Mrs. Meyer, living at 261 East street, Alle gheny, secured a bottle of tincture of iodine, and unknown to its mother drank about two teaspoonsful of it. The little thing began to cry at once, and the partly filled bottle being discovered near it, the nature of the act was at once surmised by its mother. She took the child to Dr. Elterich, who ap plied the proper restoratives, and relief was afforded at once. The child's mouth and throat were pretty badly burned, but be yond being made very sick, no other injury was done. PELTED TOE HUNGARIANS. A Mob of Hoodlums Almost Cnnscs a Riot In Litwrenceville. Last evening a riot on Bntler, near Forty ninth street, was checked by tbe prompt in terference of some citizens of the Seventeenth ward. About 8 o'clock about 50 Hunga rians who have been boarding on Fiftieth street, packed up their boxes and gripsacks to leave. They were all marching on tbe pavement and were followed by a large crowd of young men and boys. At Forty ninth street qnite a nnmber of persons who were in the crowd, commenced to throw stones and sticks and other rubbish at the Hungarians, striking many of them. The Hungarians had became almost terror stricken and huddled together like a flock bf sheep. The crowd seemed to have no sympathy and continued to stone the foreigners until the latter, driven almost to desperation, showed signs of retaliating, some even drawing dirks. Several promi nent business men of Lawrenceville were attracted and fearing that there wonld be blood shed, got between the mob and the Hungarians. They pacified the ire of the hoodlums to such an extent that tbe Hungarians were allowed to depart without further molestation. THE! MUST KNUCKLE A LITTLE. An Employe Say the Fenniy Can Beat the Cable Roads With Low Rates. "If the Pennsylvania officials would only knnckle a little," said an employe yester day, "it could easily knock out the cable roads, but it galls tbe company to admit that it is outdone. Tbe road has come down on local rates, but I think it will realize in time that it hasn't made enough of a cut, and something better will result, I should think it would pay better to carry a train load of people at 3 cents per bead to East Liberty than to take the cars there empty, as is done now, and when the knuckling is done it will come at a time when the local trade has slipped away, and it will be hard to get back. "Anyone who observes knows that most of the travel is to the East End. and be yond that point the cars are comparatively empty. The road pulls the train in and out to Walls' with few people on board. I think if express trains were run often to East Liberty at 5 cents the road would make more monev than by developing a trade which at tbe best does not amount to a great deal." THE! WOULDN'T KEEP QUIET. Allegheny Police Have it Lively Tims an Perrvovllle Avenue. The Allegheny police who were stationed along Perrysville avenue yesterday had con siderable difficulty in preserving order among some of the young men and boys who traversed the road to and from the West View oil field. There was much yelling and singing, with a good deal of swearing, and two boys who were told to desist and re fused were arrested. They gave their names as Downing and Guckert, and left deposits of 310 each for a hearing this morning. WANT TO WORK FOR UNCLE SAM. Nearly Ilalf m. Hundred lo be Examined for Positions To-Dny.

THE COOLING MATERIAL SO DEAR And So Hard to Get That Manj May Have to Stop Selling Meat. THE ABATTOIR COMING IN HANDY One of thequestions that are agitating the butchers of Pittsburg-and Allegheny is how to seenre ice for the coming hot months. It is now certain that the cost of ice the coming summer will be nearly three times as great as last season. Last summer the price was 17 cents per 100 pounds in large quantities, and now dealers refuse contracts at 40 cents per 100 pounds. A leading Diamond market butcher said yesterday: ''My ice bill at my stall and slaughter house last season amounted to over 575 per month, and now I cannot get any dealer to furnish me ice at double that figure. A few butchers managed to get a small quantity of their ice from ponds, and some have made contracts with the Chautauqua Company, but tbe majority are at sea so isr as luiure ice supplies are concerned. The butchers who do a light business are the worst off in this emergency, and I cannot see how-they can pay the big prices for ice which are sure to prevail this season and come out even. At present prices of ice a large proportion would lose money in warm weather, as the cost of preserving their meat would far more than eat up profits. NO ICE AT ANY PMCE. "The dealer who has furnished me ice for a number of seasons has thrown up the sponge, and says he cannot agree to furnish ice at any figures. Tbe Chautauqua com pany will only provide for its regular cus tomers', and this at a big advance over former seasons. In my opinion, bntchers will be forced to pay SO to 60 cents per hun dred for their ice the coming summer, and this they cannot afford to do." It is an ill wind that blows no one any good. It seems that one firm in this city bids fair to reap handsome profits from the present ice famine. At the Herr's Island abattoir of Winter & Dellenbach, is a freez ing machine, completed last May, which has 3 capacity of Ireezing 1,000 head of cat tle a week. The outlay for this machine was considered enormons at the time of its purchase, being upward. of $30,000, but the present outlook is that the money will come back this season, with good interest. When the abattoir was first opened, cattle were there slaughtered for the butchers at $1 per head, or $1 50 if delivered to the customer. After a few months the proprietors of tbe abattoir found tbey had all they could dn to kill lor themselves, and ot late have abandoned the idea of killing for other butchers. There is now a strong pressure on the firm to start out again on tbe origi nal plau. A member of the abattoir firm was interviewed on the subject yesterday, and said: CHEAFEB THAN KILTJNG. "I believe that bntchers can buy their meat from ui cheaper than they can kill, especially such as have a small trade. Ex penses have very much increased in the past few years. Property is high, labor is more expensive than it used to be, and, in every way the cost of killing and preserving cattle has very much increased in the past few years. Our hrm is now ready to iurnish dressed beef just as cheap as the Chicago dressed beef firms, and can, of course, fur nish it in better shape. The lack of ice this season makes it more of an item to butchers than ever before to buy the dressed meat. I nm confident that our establishment can fur nish to the average butcher his needed sup plies at prices which will give him a better margin of profit than if he killed his own cattle." There are very few-lines of trade but have been more or less affected by the mildness of the winter just over, but certainly none will feel it more sharply than the butchers' trade. However, the poor man will have to pay for it all, for the price of meat will undonbtedly adance and with it the cost of almost all other necessities. Onr Specialty. Pennsylvania Pare Rye Whiskies.
