THE PITTSBUKG- DISPATCH, TUESDAY, APBIL, 8, IS90.
r
TIRED OF STRING,
Mr. C. L. Majree's Ideas of the
City's Duty Regarding
TIIE LIBRARY QUESTION.
Be Would Have the City Choose Its
Own Commissioners,
OR ILEFDSE TO ACCEPT THE GIFT
The library site and all that the words
imply, like the golden apple which Paris
gave to the wrong goddess, has made con
siderable trouble of one kind or another, as
the great Pittsburg public is very anxious
to have the site located in every locality in
the city. The -Bedford avenue advo
cates are numerous and per
sistent The Bast End element
who assert that East Liberty will
be the center of population before many
years, are confident that this library will
drift that way, while there is a proposition
of a Bohemian, that the central library be
mounted on wheels, so that it could spend
the hot summer months in the cool retreats
of Ht Washington. To this the objection
was raised by members of the Library Com
mission that however hard A. C. Robertson
might labor in behalf of free bridges, they
could never be made free enough to get a
building lite the projected library across.
SLOW IN GETTING A MOVE.
K. B. Carnahan said yesterday: "You
can publish whatever you please on the
library subject. I am in a position to state
no move will be taken to select or determine
a site until the plans for the building shall
have been made "
Mr. Carnahan was asked if any architects
had as yet been consulted, and admitted
that nothing had vet been done in that di
rection. He thought that if the commis
sion n ere subject to less comment and less
dictation from outsiders it would sooner
come to a conclusion regarding both the site
and the building. He positively declined to
say any more on the subject until the com
mission had finished its labors.
On the other hand, the new Councils
yesterday inaugurated feel about the same
as the old Councils regarding the position
held by the City Fathers in the commission.
"When the adjournment took place yester
day the talk on the subject was very ani
mated, and while the East End representa
tives maintained a dignified silence, the
Southsrde and old city representatives
were far from being pleased with the pres
ent state of allairs in library matters.
MB. MAGEE HAS SOMETHING TO SAT.
The gift appears to have made as much
disturbance as that of the wooden horse to
the Trojans, and some of the members of
Council appear to think that there is a
great similitude. In rehearsing some of the
Conncilinamc complaints toMrrc. L Magee,
last eiening, he laughed and replied:
"01 course anyone is in favor of a public
means of education. I hare no doubt that
co old a popular vote be taken on the acceptance
of the present irom Mr. Carnegie it would be
framed on tbe basis of the ordinance of accep
tance already formulated by Councils. There
is no man. except in one in whom ignorance Is
invincible, who would object to the provision
of a means to educate and elevate his children.
I, of course, would like to sec the library a suc
cess, no matter where it may be placed, and
will be glad to see it in operation lor the gen
eral good.
"I think, however, that Mr. Carnegie's propo
sition to change the form of the ordinance of
acceptance is more or less ot a reflection,
whether iotended or not, upon the capacity or
the integrity of the city's representath es. The
city of 1'ittsburg. through those who were em
powered to do so bj the vote of the people, ac
cepted Mr. Carnegie's proposition in good faith.
SHUTS OCT THE CITY.
"This proposition, as you will see by looking
it over, limited the city's representatives on the
Library Commission to a minority, but provid
ed that when any vacancy occurred it should be
filled by a majority vote of tbe remaining
members of tbe commission. This, as tbe ma
jority had already been fixed by Mr. Carnegie
so as to place it in tbe hands of his own repre
sentatives, virtually shuts out the city from
any voice m renewing tbe membership, thus
making the commission in perpetuity a repre
sentative body or Mr. Carnegie's choosing.
"This, I think, is unfair, how, I do not know
whether a vacancy would occur in one year or
in 20 years, but this rule, carried out. would
keep the commission solel in tbe Carnegie
interest, while the investment was maintained
at the expense of tbe city of Pittsburg.
"Under the present ordinance of acceptance
the citv's representatives could not elect any
body, as the majority ot the commission are
appointees of Mr. Carnegie. This. I think. Is
plainly understood by all.
"Mr. Carnegie justly -and generously stated
when here that the public library.to be a public
benefit, must be sustained and supported by
tbe public at large, and the condition of his
gift is that, after he has paid for the site and
building, tbe city shall bind itself, annually
and forever, to appropriate J40.000, or 4 per
cent on the amount of tbe gift. If tbe city
mako this appropriation, and the public benefit
intended by Mr. Carnegie be conferred by him
and supported by the people, the representa
tives of those people should have some say in
tbe administration of the funds they supply
and the people some representatives in the
commission which governs the library it main
tains. WHAT HE TVOULD DO.
"Were I a member of Councils I should vote
that any change in tho ordinance of accept
ance would be one removing all tbe city's repre
sentatives from tbe commission. When the
grant is made limiting the powers of the city's
representatives in perpetuity, they should be
left out of such consultations. Let Mr. Car
negie and his representatives control bis gift
until tho gift is made over to the city, but I put
a straight issue to you: If I make vou a gift and
attach certain couditions which' may be dis
tasteful to j on, don't jou think that it would
be optional with jou whether jou would ac
cept it or not!"

him to the Mayor's office. AVatson is but 11
years old, and when he found he was arrested
became frantlcfrom fright.
Instead of locking him In a ceil, the boy was
placed in the Major's office, but he climbe'd out
of a window. He was recaptured by Detective
Eichenlaub and locked up securely. Tbe boy
confessed that he was one of a'crowd who have

MORE DIAMONDS THAN ICE.
Oakland Storekeepers Cnnnot Get tbe Litter
Product In Its Pnrilr.
"It is much easier to get diamonds than ice
out in this vicinity." said an Oakland store
keeper to a Dispatch reporter. Inquiry
developed that the statement was about cor
rect. An attempt was made to purchase a piece
of clear, pure ice. but tbe article could not be
had for any amount ot money.
It is very probable that tnere will be much
typhoid fever this summer caused by the use of
impure ice. The ice dealers are now getting
down to the worst of their stock, and the slimy
frozen stun gathered in cattle ponds some j ears
ago for cooling purposes Is being prepared to
be sold to families for consumption.

An Eccentric Old Lndy Who Wear AH the
Clothes She Cnn Cnrrr.

known lady on Mr. Washington, was taken to
the Poor Farm yesterday. She and a sister al
most as old as herself have lived there for
many years. Neither of them were able to do
anything and the charitable people in that
locality have supported them.
One of the old lady's peculiarities was a de
sire to wear all tbe clothes she could put on
and sometimes she would have three or four
dresses on at a time. She objected to going to
the Poor Farm and had to be taken from her
home by force.
HAD TO CDT OFF THE LEG.
An Accident to a Boy That Was Caused by
Too ftlncb T.Iqaor.
A few weeks ago Fred Tevens, a boy 18 years
old, was run over by a cable car; yesterday the
leg was amputated. Before tho operation it
was feared he would die, and Alderman Cas
sidy took bis statement.
The boy was drunk when the accident hap-
Eened. and it is said the saloonkeeper who sold
im the grog will be prosecuted. The boy Is
expected to recover.
He Is Patrick McClnlnen.
The man snpnoscd to be A. M. Brown, who
was fonnd on the West Penn railroad, near
Sharpsburg, in an unconscious condition, and
taken to the Allegheny General Hospital, was
identified last night as Patrick McCluinen. He
is a coal miner and lives at Glenshaw. The
physicians have little hopes of his recovery.
A New Switching Plan.
The Pennsylvania road will in a short time
Introduce a new system of switching so that
cars will not have to be shifted as much as
now. The scheme is to put all cars destined
for one place in trains, and then hurry them
through as fast as possible. Freight agents
anticipate another car famine this summer.
Tho P. & W. Hnsn't Bonchl.
President Harry Oliver, of tho Pittsburg and
Western road, denied yesterday that his com
pany bad purchased tbe Toledo and Delphos
road. The whole matter has been written up
so often in The Dispatch that the subject

AGAINST THE DEMAND
Operators Will Sot Grant the Ad
vance Asked by the Miners.
BUILDING TRADES HAVE A BOOM.
One Thousand Colts Ovens at Scottdale to
he Closed Down.
GENERAL NEWS PKOM LABOK CIRCLES
A meeting of coal operators has been
called for Thursday for the purpose of elect
ing delegates to the Columbus Convention
and outlining the programme to be followed
by the operators. The meeting will be held
in the Chamber of Commerce and the indi
cations are that it will be pretty well at
tended, as interest is rapidly increasing in
the coming convention.
Mr. A. Dempster, who has attended all of
the conventions in recent years, was seen
yesterday. He said he thought the Colum
bus meeting would be a prolonged one, and
everything points now to a hard struggle
between the operators and miners over the
scale question. Thero will probably be a repe
tition of tbe manner in which the conventions
of the last two j ears closed without coming to
an agreement.
"WON'T BE CONCEDED.
Mr. Dempster says that the operators are
anxious and willing that the question of rates
shonid be settled amicably for the neityear,
but It is absolutely certain that the demands of
the miners will not be conceded. "My opinion
of tho mutter," said be, "is this: The miners
want an advance, and they aro sticking the peg
high with tbe anticipation of coming down.
They know they cannot get 90 cents. I don't
know what the oporators would be wilting to
pay, but I ara certain it is impractical to pay 80
cents. Bnsiness is falrlv 2ood in Pennsylvania.
but OhIois cutting in here. They have a lower
rate for mining and are developing better
facilities for shipping, and in other wavs are
interfering with the Pennsylvania trade."
Mr. Dempster 'was in favor of holding tho
conference between tbe operators and miners
in Pittsburc but President Bae wanted it in
Columbus for two reasons. He thought there
wonld be a larger representation of Western
men. and whatever agreement is arrived at will
bind more people, than if held further East.
WILL BE THEOUOn IN TIME.
The Ohio State Convention of Miners will be
held in Columbus on tho 13th, and will be about
through with its business in time for the joint
conference.
Tbe increase that tbe miners are asking for
amounts to 17 cents. The rate at present is 73
cents the year round, and thev demand 90 for
next year. A proportionate increase is asked
for in Ohio and the other States. Pittsburg
will send four delegates and an effort will be
made to have as many individual operators to
attend as possibly can go. The desire is to have
Pittsburg well represented owing to the pros
pects for a large Western representation.
There is no other business to be attended to at
the conference but the wage auestion. and it is
likely to consume two and possibly three days,
TO REDUCE IRON RATES.
Another Sleeting of the Committee to be
Held To-Dny.
George E. McCagne, general agent of the
Lake bboro and Michigan Southern Railroad;
F. A. Dean, general freight agent of the Lake
Erie, and W. L. Cromiish, general freight
agent of the Pittsburg and Western, left yes
terday for Chicago to attend the meeting of the
Iron Committee of the Central Traffic Associa
tion at that place to-day. The meeting is to be
held for tbe purpose of making a change in the
rates on manufactured iron and steel. It is not
at all likely that any great change will be
made.
At a former meeting a Changs was recom
mended, but it was not concurred in by tbe
Trunk Line Association. They sent the recom
mendation back to the Central Traffic Associa
tion, with the statement that they hoped the
latter organization would deem it inexpedient to
make any change. The chance recommended was
from fourtli and fifth to fifth and sixth classes.
The Eastern roads and several of tho roads
running west from this city are opposed to the
change, claiming that there is no necessity for
it. It is stated the reduction was recommended
by tbe Lake Shore and Michigan Southern
Railroad, which is trying to make friends in
the Mahoning and Shenango valleys.
A MISTAKE SOMEWHERE.
Tbe Builders' Exchange Denies That Differ
or cc Exist In That Cody.
The Builders' Exchange met yesterday after
noon. Tbe eight-hour question did not come
up except through a communication from tbe
Journeyman Carpenters' Association, in which
the exchange was informed th the men
would neither ask for a reduction in hours nor
an advance in wages. Tbe members reported
that the prospects for tbe romlnir summer
trade are very bright. The largest amount of
building is being done now by tbe industrial
class of people, although there are several
buildings of considerable magnitude in con
templation. The exchange pased a resointion in relation
to an item that bad been published in regard to
an alleged rupture between President W. B.
Lupton and the members of the exchange,
growing out of a refusal of Mr. Lupton to serve
as an arbitrator in a case between a contractor
and a bouse owner. Tho contents of tbe item
were denied, as it Is said no differences exist.
Mr. Joseph Shallenberger said after the meet
ing adjourned that Mr. Lupton bad never been
asked to serve but on one committee, and he
acted that time. It was a case in tbe East
End, and tbe matter was settled in the most
harmonious manner possible. Mr. Lnpton was
at yesterday's meeting and no trouble was ap
parent. THEY WILL RETALIATE.
The
Great Western Bnnd to Be Taken
Care of by tho K. of L.
Tbe statements that the Musical Union would
boycott tbe National League Club if they em
ptor the Great Western Band on opening day
has created considerable excitement in labor
circles. Master Workman Ross, of D. A 3 K.
of L., said last night that the Great Western
Band is a member of K. of L. Assembly No.
15S3 and every player in tbe band has a card.
Mr. Ross added that the Knights will look
after tbe band's interest, and if Mr. Rube's or
ganization offers to make any trouble, tbey
will retaliate.
In sneaking of the matter yesterday, Presl
nent Nimick, of the League club, said: "When
I hired the band I was under tbe impression
that it was aunion concern. I was shown ICof L.
cards by some of tbe members. If I am con
vinced that this is not a union band I will hire
another, but will play the Great Western the
same as our agreement calls for."
DELEGATES WERE NAMED.
The Souibslilo Working Girls' Clnb Will be
Represented nt Now lork.

week.
The clnb will inaugurate a series of lessons
shortly in English branches, music, stenography
and typewriting, and sewiug. The new head
quarters at 1104 Carson street will be appropri
ately arranged, and the girls will receive their
instructions there in the evenings.

HOT A POLITICAL TUREEN.
Pat Rldfto Snrprl.es iho City Offlclols With
n New Style Cart.
While the festivities incident to the inaugura
tion of Mayor Gourley were going on yester
day there drove up in front of City Hall a
tureen-looking vehicle, which stopped in front
of the ball. Seated back of the horse was Pat
Ridge, the well known contractor, who covered
himself with glory and mud at Johnstown. As
soob as the vehicle stopped a great crowd gath
ered around it and wondered what it was.
Some supposed from the looks of it that it was
a conveyance to carry off the remains of the old
"ity covernment which had fallen, or would fall.
during tbe day, into tbe bowl, so to speak. Tbe
vehicle bad two wheels like a cart, and between
the wheels hung a large quarter inch iron cald
ron. By pulling a levor the caldron was made to
tip over backward, and without much effort it
could bo turned up again Into position. Mr.
Ridge explained it was a new dumping cart, in-
tenaea ior city use. commissioner oj iiign

A LIVELY SCRAMBLE
For the Offices at the Disposal of the
Allegheny Councils.
FIEB CHIEF JONES GETS THERE,
And His Friends Win a Great Deal of Jlonejr
on His Success.
RESULTS OF TUB OTHER CONTESTS
The Allegheny Conncils caucus last
night developed an animated scrramble ior
minor city offices, almost without precedent
upon the Nortbside. Select Council cham
ber, where the caucus was held, was a sight
to see at the conclusion of the strnggle for
place. Upward of five bushels of cards
bearing the names of the respective candi
dates lay upon the desks, chairs and floor,
in picturesqne confusion.
The fights were all brisk, and bnt two
present incumbents Market Clerk nd
City Physician tailed to make the ri file.
In other contests supposedly close fights
tailed to materialize. That tbere was im
mense public interest in the doings of tbe
caucus the crowds surging through the cor
ridors of City Hall and extending clear out
to the street attested. At one time at least
3,000 people surrounded the building.
Tiere was considerable quiet betting upon
the various contests, and the Korthside
politician was cutting a very wide swatb,
all in all.
SOME OF inE SOFT SNAPS.
The following places were filled withont
a struggle by acclamation: Controller,

There was a lively contest promised between
George Elphinstnnc, Esq., and David Alston,
Es, , for tbe City Solicitorsbip. Mr. Alston be
lnc in the field with the backing of ex-City
Saicltor Rodgers. The votes showed Mr. El
phinstone an easy winner, he receiving 55 to

burn, by a vote of 43 to 27, Dr. Huselton receiv
ing six votes. Dr. Hazzard had a very lively
campaign, and won with ease.
CHIEF JONES GETS THERE.
Bobert Jones was successful in tbe contest
for Fire Chief. His ooponent. John Lehman,
resigned from tbe fnremanship of Friendship
Hose Company to mako tbe fight, and was sup
posed to be a formidable candidate, but failed
to make much of a showing. Lots of money
was won by Jones men, who were offering 2 to
1. One man had hardly put up his $75 before
the news came out that Lehman was beaten.
He got nuiclc action on his money, if that was
any consolation. John Seltert was the third
candidate, and got 13 votes. They were a hoo
doo, lor last week his application for license
was knocked out. Jones received 45 votes,
Lehman 19.
David Llghthill was beaten for wharfmaster
quite unexpectedly. He is a brothpr-in-law of
President Lindsay, of Select Council, and was
elected over Charles Ditmore two years ago
after a hard fight. Ditmore turned the tables
upon Ligbthill by winning easily last night.
Mr. Ditmore is lying at home ill with typhoid
fever and the pleasant news will not retard bis
recovery. His oldest son-broko his leg last
Sunday night and the family hard leck needed
a turn. The vote was: C. Ditmore, 42; Davia
Llghthill, 19; Poter Maul, 7; Cavitt, L
A BATHER TIGHT SQUEEZE.

Kreillng, 23 aud David Martin 16l On the sec
ond ballot Hastings landed a winner with the

CHARTERS GRANTED IESTERDAY.
The Kevllle Water Company After Riparian
Rights on the Island.
Yesterday a charter was granted to the West
ern Terminal Company to construct and main
tain a wharf on tho Cuyahosra river at Cleve
land with a capital stock of 9100,000. Tho direc
tors are Major J. B, Washington, fl. E. Ander
son and Edwin S. Carpenter, of this city.
Major Washington said the object of the
company was to Increase the dockage of the
Valley road, which is now a branch of the B. &
O. The Valley now has a wharf on the lake.
This road carries a heavy tonnage of Ohio coal
to the water.
A charter was also granted to the Hygeia Ice
Company, with a capital stock of $50,000. The
directors are Thomas S. Rees, James McAfeo
and W. W. Ree. ot Pittsburg; James H.
Rees, of Memphis, and H. D. Stratton, of
Columbus, Ga.
Tho Neville Water Company, of Neville
Island, Allegheny rounty. was granted a char
ter yesterday. The company has a capital
stock of 5,000, and the directors are John H.
Dabell, Thomas B.Atterbury, Joseph G. Wal
ter, James W. Scully and vV. W. Watson. As
there are less than 200 people on the island the
residents there did not- believe tbe company
was sincere in its object. They believed they
wanted to seize the riparian rights and make
land for themselves by making new land in tho
back channel of the Ohio river. They bitterly
opposed the granting of the charter, but,as the
above shows, lost their point.
