THE PITTSBURG- - DISPATCH WEDNESDAY. ' APHID 9. 1S90. 2 at T QUITE SEE IT, Eer. W. J. Holland Disagrees With Mr. C. L. Magee ON THE LIBRARY HATTER. He Thinks Mr. Carnegie's Views Should be Eespected. THE ORDINANCE IN DEEP WATEK Rev. TV. J. Holland, of Ihe Carnegie Li brary Commission, was seen at his residence yesterday evening, and in replv to the in quiry whether he had seen the interview with Mr. C. L. Magee, published in yester day's Dispatch, replied in the affirmative. He added: "I am sorry to see that Mr. Ma gee takes the position which he does. He is a thritty politician, and generally takes pretty good care of his 'fences, but in this case I fear that his desire to keep up the palings has led him a step too far. Thereby hangs a talc. "On February 10 an ordinance which had been prepared by Mr. John Lambie was introduced into Councils, accepting Mr. Carnegie's magnificent offer of the gift of $1,000,000 to the citv ot Pittsburg for the purpose of establishing a number of free libraries, and a central library building, which should have incorporated in it an art gallery, a museum, and accommodations for the learned societies of the city, founded for the purpose of promoting a knowledge of science and art. IX HABMONY WITH IT, "This ordinance, which was in thorough harmony with Mr. Carnegie's letter, was referred to a committee. It mar be noted, in passing, that Mr. Carnegie's letter, by the terms of the ordinance, was incorporated with it and made a part thereof. In this form the ordinance was published in most of the papers of the city upon the following morning, and I venture the statement that there was a very general and widespread feeling of satisfaction among the citizens that affairs had so far progressed in such a manner.and that the Councils had met the large-hearted and generous philanthropy of our foremost citizen in the cordial and heartily appreciative manner in which so generous an offer deserved to be met. The committee to which the ordinance had been referred met on the 20th, and it was affirma tively recommended as DreDared bv Mr. Xarnbie. "At this stage of the proceedings Mr. TV. A. Magee appeared upon the scene of action as a legislator bent upon amendments. He pairing to the office of the City Clerk he de manded the ardinance, and receiving it, read it over, and lelt with it in his pocket, exclaiming as he did so: 'This will not do; we can't stand this.' AS IT "WAS AMENDED. "The next day the bill was returned, with an appendage in the form of an amendment written in the handwriting of Mr. A. F. Keating and Mr. C. L. Magee, consisting of the following words; 'And any vacancies occurring in said Board of Trustees other than those caused by changes of the public officials, shall be filled by a majority of the remaining members of the Board.' "On the 22d of February a meeting was held, and in five minutes the ordinance was reconsidered, the amendment adopted, and in the amended form the bill was affirma tively recommended and passed by Councils on the 24th of February. "It will be observed that this amendment to the ordinance is in conflict with the terms of Mr. Carnegie's letter, which, after desig nating certain officials of the city govern ment, to the nnmber of nine, who shall be members of the Board of Trustees, says: 'To these I would add the names of 12 well-known citizens of Alle gheny county, who should have power, as a body, to provide for the re-election of its members at stated times, and also to fill vacancies in their number. Mr. Carnegie, upon reading the ordinance in the form in which it had finally passed, quickly detect ed the incongruity between his original proposition and the amendment, and called attention to it at the first meeting of the Commission. He pointed out the fact that the discord between the terms of his letter and the final part of the ordinance might lead to embarrassment and complications. INSISTED OK AMENDMENT. "The members of the City Government promptly arose and said that the ordinance should be at once amended so as to conform with Sir. Carnegie's letter, and deprecated the unintentional oversight 'With the un derstanding, then, that the ordinance shall he so amended,' said Mr. Carnegie, 'we will proceed to organize. "Thus far the promise made to amend the ordinance by striking out Mr. Magee's amendment has not been fulfilled, and we now find Mr. Magee taking ground against the conditions which Mr. Carnegie has named. Mr. Magee says: '1 think, how ever, that Mr. Carnegie's proposition to change the form of the ordinance for accept ance is more or less a reflection, whether in tended or not, upon the capacity or the in tegrity of the city's representatives.' I ven ture the assertion that the only reflection which could possibly arise in the minds of those acquainted with all the foregoing facts is upon the wisdom of Mr. Magee in insisting upon the amendment of the origi nal ordinance in such a manner as to cause it to become more or less incongruous in its provisions, and pave the way for misunder standings and wordy conflicts. "It is not for me to detend the author of 'Triumphant Democracy' from the inuendo contained in Mr. Magee's criticisms. He wields the pen of a ready writer, and by his words as well as actions, has proved himself most heartily in accord with our American forms of popular government, and in sym pathy with our free institutions. IIH. CAENEGIE'S DEMANDS. "Mr. Carnegie has neither intentionally nor unintentionally, directly or by fair im plication, reflected either upon the capacity or the integrity of the representatives of the city government. He has simply demanded that the ordinance shall be restored to the shape in which it originally came from the hands of the representatives of the people, without Mr. Magee's additions and amend ments added thereto. "Mr. Magee is a private citizen, he is not a member either of Select or Common Coun cils, and yet we find him venturing to ex tend the regis of his protection at this mo ment over both bodies. The fair-minded and intelligent citizen of this community will ask what right, human or divine, has he so to pose, and what right has he to take city ordinances out of theirlpigeon boles and write in his own amendments, and then de mand, when they arc found to be crudely digested and incongruous in their provisions, that they shall be retained. "Sir. Magee says Mr. Carnegie's propo sition is 'unfair,' in that it gives a perma nent majority to Mr. Carnegie's representa tives. The unfairness exists only in Mr. Magee's fancy. In creating a great institu tion such as this, Mr. Carnegie has con sulted precedents. He gives the institution to the people as theirs, he asks them to con tribute to its support, because thus their in terest in it will be assured, and when he comes to its erection and administration, he demands that a large number of their representatives in the City Councils shall have a voice in its management. WHAT THEY'LL BEPEESENT. "But because the '12 well-known citizens of Allegheny county whom Mr. Carnegie designates as the coadjutors of the city fathers do not happen to be members of the Conncil, does it follow trom that that they are not repre sentative men or, if you please, representa c tives of the peopleT They will possibly not at all times represent Mr. Magee, bnt It is bnt fair to suppose that they will represent the intelligence and will of the people from among whom they come, ana whose wishes and hopes and prefer ences they probably will be fully as able to as certain and secure as those who happen to be for a year or two invested with Councilmanle honors. To confine the power to represent the people to councilmanle bodies is a logical fallacy. "History has revealed to us that the repre sentatives, so-called, of the people, have at times not fairly represented them at all. It certainly is to be gravely questioned whether Mr. Magee. who Is only a private citizen, rep resents the people of Pittsburg in his factions antagonism to the conditions suegested by Mr. Carnegie. As I remarked before, Mr. Car negie was undoubtedly not actuated by dis trust of thn representatives ol the people or by tho spirit of unfairness. Mr. Carnegie was moved bv the consideration of precedents. With the exception of Allegheny, there is no city In this broad land where a. trust, such as that created by Mr. Carnegie, Is administered in the wav Mr. Magee says he would have this administered. And there is reason for this. NOT AT ALL STABLE. "Experience brings knowledge, and knowl edge power. But councilmanle bodies are more or leSB fluctuating, and even the best men in snch stations aro liable to be unconscionsly influenced by considerations which should t)ft be paramount. Mr. Carnegie has. therefore. proposed to lift his noble gift to the people of t ntisDurg as iar as possinie out oi tne reacn oi those disturbing influences which might defeat bis eenerous will. "Bnt the question is asked, why does Mr. Magee take tnis position? An answer may be found in the remark of his brother: 'We can't stand this,' and In the remark made by another gentleman of the same circle: 'There is too much patronage here which is likely to go to waste.' To save this precious perquisite of the politician, 'patronage,' the amendment was introauced; for, as was said by one of its advocates, 'with deaths and resignations occurring, wo can vote the conncilmanic con tingent solid, and gradually work out the Carnegie crowd, and have things our own way.' "But if it is "patronage' that seems to be the great Issue in the mind ot the practical poli tician, 1 can say that there need be no fear that a proper amount of it will be at the disposal of tne proper parties, t or.my part, it tne gentle men representing the Councils havs any special choice of a worthy sort in relation to the people who shall act as janitors, wash windows and handle books. I will not for a moment, as one of the commissioners, stand in their way, and I venture that the same may be said of alt of my colleagues. THEY MAY BE TBUSTED. "No, I repeat it, the representatives of the people may ba trusted to do their duty if left to themselves, and I sympathize with the re mark of Mr. Carnahan, reported in The Dis rATcn, that if there were less outside dicta tion in this whole matter it would be better for all. I could much wish that Mr. Magee bad recognized that Mr, Carnegie, who offers the city a million to-day, which he stands ready, if all goes well, to vastly increase, has some rigbts,and that it is not in good taste, to say the leant, to "Iook a eilt horse in the mouth.' "I like Mr. Maeee. He is bright. He is in many respects a usefnl man. 1 do not like to take up a stick and'go for htm,' as I have done, but ho is making a mistake, and if,"by pursuing bis course, he causes the citizens of Pittsburg to lose the chiefest benefaction which has been offered them since the foundation of the city, he will discover what the will of the people is as to himself, in a way he will remember to all eternity." THE MAYOE'S POSITION. Mayor Gonrley said yesterday, in speaking of the library question: "lam folly in accord with Mr. Magee's ideas on the snoject, as expressed in The DisrxTcn. I think the question of succession is one which should bo gravely con sidered. Althongh at present the appointees of Mr. Carnecie have a perfect right to a ma jority representation, as it is his funds the commission-will handle, not those of the city, and until the building is completed and turned over to the city, of course the city representa tives could not expect to control the matter, bur. nevertheless, I think the city is entitled to an equal voice in the arrangement of affairs, even In the preliminary arrangements. I con cur with Mr. Magee's ideas thoroughly." Georeo L. Holliday, Chairman of Common Council, and also a member of the Library Commission, said he had read the ideas ex pressed by Mr. Magee in The Dispatch yes terday morning, and was very glad be bad ex pressed the opinion entertained by so many people, and in snch a definite manner. He thought that, whether through design or acci dent, a slight was put upon the city through its representatives, and the whole course of the commission had been one which indicated a steady purpose to ignore the city's rights in the matter. R. B. Carnahan again protested that he wonld say nothing, but thought the commission as organized nas thoroughly welU.qualitied to per form the functions required. AGAINST ANY CHANGE. A quiet but thorough canvass of the mem bers of both branches of Council was made yesterday as to the feeling on the proposed change in the ordinance accepting Mr. Car negie's gift. In both Select and Common Coun cils the reeling is decidedly against any change from the ordinance as passed. There is consid erable feeling expressed as to the manner in which the city, through its representatives, has been treated in the matter, and from the con sensus of opinion obtained it is more thin prob able that no change will be made. A BOX BADLY COT UP. Tbe Outcome of n Fight That Way Prove Fatal to a Lnd. Yesterday morning Lawrence Breitweiser, a 15-year-old boy, employed as finisher at Hogau, Evans & Co.'s chimney factory, at the head of South Twenty-second street, was seriously in jured by Maurice Nichols. A quarrel arose be tween young Breitweiser and Junker, another boy. Junker struck tbe former in the face. Breitweiser pluckily retaliated. Then Nichols, tho man under whom young Junker works, leaped into tho arena, and savagely beat and kicked Breitweiser, who fell into the box ot glass, cutting his right hand and severing an artery. The boy was removed to the Southside Hos pital, where it was found that, beside tne injury to his arm. which may prove fatal, his hips and legs are badly bruised and swollen. Breit weisers father went before Alderman Flach and entered information against Nichols. He was at once arrested, and entered bail for a hearing. CAPTURED IN WHEELING. A Negro Who Acknowledges Having Cat a Man In Pittsburg. Shortly after 9 A. M. to-day an officer will leavo Pittsburg to take back an old offender from the tender care extended by the Wheel ing officials under advice by wire from In spector McAleese. He forwarded a request to arrest William Reed, colored, on a charge ot larceny, and the Wheeling officers secured a brawny looking darkey answering the de scription sent. The prisoner at first denied witb great stress that he was implicated in any larceny case, but afterward admitted nnder pressure that ho had been concerned in a cut ting cao in Pittsburg a short time ago. Tho police authorities of Pittsburg last night telegraphed to bold tbe man, and he agrees to return without a requisition. SETTLING THE GLASS SCALE. Tbe Pressed-Ware Branch Was Arranged Yesterday No Trouble Expected. A conference between the table-ware glass manufacturers and the Scale Committee of tbe American Flint Glass Workers' Union was held yesterday in the rooms of the former in the Stevenson building. It took all day to settle the pressed-ware scale. A great many eliminations and additions were made, but nothing of importance was changed. The engravers' scale will be tackled to-day, and to-morrow they will try to settle the iron mold list. No trouble is expected to resnlt from the probable changes. Several of the changes wanted by the manufacturers will have to go before the annnal convention of delegates of tbe American Flints in June. THEI SAI IT IS S0LTENT. A Building nnd Lonn Association Hot Coder the Collar. . The Coraopolis Building and Loan Association has elected A. W. McDonald, J, D. Hamilton, Reed McCoab. W. T. Treadway, Rev. William Neely, Fre'd W. Patterson, W. H. Gny, G. A. Lashelland Joseph G. Huey, directors. The present solicitor is Mr. Treadway and it is prob able he will continue to hold tbe position. A publication in an evening paper charging mismanagement in the association has stirred up much wrath in the membership, and a libel suit is threatened. It is said that what is al leged to be slanderous in the publication had its origin in tbe late political contest in tbe borough. Streator Wlnduw House Burned. Word was received at tbe fcfflee of the Win dow Glass Workers' Association, yesterday, that tbe Streator Glass Works, of Streator, III., was burned down, Snnday night. It is a win dow house, with a capacity of S3 pots. About 250 men are thrown idle by the fire. STBPCK BY A- STOKM. A Cyclone Sweeps Over Pennsylvania Railroad Condnctors, TAKING OFF MANY OF THE MEN. Trie Others Anxiously Awaiting the light ning's Next Attack. WHAT THE TICTIMS DATE TO SAT A thunderstorm, which has been gather ing in railroad circles for the past two months, has burst in all its force. The lightning has already struck 14 heads in Pittsburg, and it is not known just how many more at other points. Every conduc tor on all of the lines of the Pennsylvania Company is quaking in his shoes, and some are even handing in their resignations, in the fall knowledge that if they do not they will be requested. The discharged men are the oldest, the most trnsted, and most popular conductors on the lines. The cause of the storm is given in a speech which General Passenger Agent E. A. Ford gave utterance to in out lining his policy. He is reported to have said: "It is bad policy to keep a passenger conductor in that capacity for more than three or four years. By that time they be come too well acquainted with the travel ing public and know too well how to 'knock down." SOME OP THE CHARGES. He also claimed that conductors on through trains were carrying traveling men for less than the full fare, 'and dividing up with the company. Pursuant to this, spotters were put on tbe through trains. Where a full fare would be H. the spotters worked tho sympa thetic racket. They told conductors they only had $2. They accompanied this statement with a pitiful tale, and some of the most generous conductors were caught. The result was that two condnctors were summarily dismissed. In order to follow out the already outlined policy nf the Passenger Department ot tbe Pennsylvania Company, braketnen, flagmen and freight conductors were called from their posts to attend the condnctors' school in Pitts burg. This was done about six weeks. In Philadelphia, it is understood, the same plan was followed. This alarmed all the conductors, And they naturally asked themselves the ques tion: "Where are all these new men to bo placed" They started their inquiries, and learned tbe policy adopted by Mr. Ford. They feared to say anything, and each hoping that tbe lightning would not hit him, kept silent. Spotters were placed on every train, and each conductor was kept nnder constant surveil lance. The resnlt was that the spotters handed in to the officials a list ot ISO conductors whom they accuse of having carried passengers free. They have also handed in long lists of men who are accused of "knocking down." They are said to have even gotten ahead ot the company with tbe dnplex receipts which they are compelled to give whenever a cash fare is taken. A SPRINGTIME STORM. The gentle springtime was chosen as the times for the sacrifice, and, with its coming, off went the heads of Conductors Gilson, Whipple and Sharpless, of the Erie and Pittsburg road. On the same line Samuel Vance anticipated the officials by handing in his resignation. They were all the oldest men on the line, and'had the respect and confidence of all the people who traveled over tbe road. They were given no reason for their dismissal. The storm then struck tbe Chicago division, and the head of Pat Travis, a condnctor of 2o years' experience, fell into tbe basket. From there the tornado jumped to the Wayne divi sion, and condnctors Grnber. Gray and Jackson saw their positions vanish like the fog before tbe wind. Gray and Gruber especially were re garded as leaders in railroading, and are well known by all people on through trains on tbe Ft. Wayne. Gruber had been handling the punch for 23 years. Gray vied with him in dex terity, after an experience of 22 years, while Jackson bad worn tbe bine and the silver but tons for 15 long years. Tnen tbe cyclone took a sudden twist and struck the through trains running from Pitts burg to Crestline. Jolly Captain Jack Day, who has courteously handed ladies down to the platform for 20 years, and who did not have an enemy among tbe patsencers that were "under his charge, fell the first victim. He was asked to turn in his cap and keys nn Monday. Follow ing him was John Reed, who went on No. 3 and came back "on No. 10. Ho met his fate a few minutes after Captain Day cot "his medicine." The next man was William Smith, a staid old man who has given the best years of his life in the service ot tbe company. TASSED THE TJNLTJCKY NUMBER. For fear tbe unfortunates would become scared at their only being 13 in number, it was reported last night that Conductor John Bacon had joined the list and raised it to 11. Tbe condnctors all over the lines feel that the storm has just gotten wanned up for its work, and that heads will fall right and left for tbe next few weeks. One of the freight conductors, who is to be promoted to a passenger train, when asked about tbe matter said he did not care to make tbe change, as he could only hold It for three or four years, and be would not want to come back to a freight train after that. When asked why he did not believe he could not retain the position more than four years, be feared official thunder and said he could not tell. A number of the conductors who were dis missed were spoken to yesterday, and they all had one opinion, that the storm was tbe result of Mr. Ford's policy. One of them said: "The transportation department is filled with practi cal men who conduct affairs 'on a scientific basis. The passenger department, on the other hand, is rnn completely on theory. The de partment is made np of clerks and college graduates who want to air opinions. The sys tem of having schools for conductors does not give any practical benefits. They learn some thing there about tbo tickets, and then start ont witb a pencil behind each ear, a punch in one hand and buncb of tickets in the other. Theyaro not students ot human natnre, and do not have any practical knowledge of hand ling trains. "The men who have been discharged are all old and experienced men. They wereall on through trains, and tho charge that they have been btealing is nonsense. On those trains there is not enough cash fares to make it worth while to attempt to steal. People on snch trains will bny tickets for long trips because when they pay on the train they havetogivo the full 3 cents a mile, while if they buy tickets thev can travel for much less. Wo know there have been spotters, and while there may be some black sheep among the con ductors we know there are worse men acting as spotters. We have met a number of conductors from other divisions, and they are all waiting for the storm to burst in other localities. None of the old men expect to retain their positions. FLATS FOR FIFTH AYENUE. The Work of Spreading Ont Pittsburjc Pro gressing Rapidly. The Inspector of Buildings yesterday issned permits for nine new buildings. The only ones of importance were as follows: McCormick, Scaif e k Co., five-story brick warehouse, 70x70 feet, corner Second avenue and Channcey alley. First ward, to cost 518,000. Mrs. M.

The Dispatch man went armed with a choice assortment of inquiries of a local, State and national character. Senator Qnay, however, with much jnstice, interposed the plea of a lack of inti mate knowledge which would enable him to speak by the card. The following queries and answers indicate, however, that the junior Senator from Pennsylvania has not allowed the piscatorial phenomena of Southern waters to prevent him from keep ing an eye upon what's in progress. "Your famous remark about the National Republican Committee 'holding with a mailed hand the advantages gained' in the national election is now being recalled by those who wonder what will be done by yourself and tbe National Committee to off set the Ohio gerrymander." AS HE SEES IT. "I think that it is beyond dispute that the National Committee has held all that was gained in the last campaign," was Senator Quay's response. "Enthusiasts in the party are looking to you as its political leader fur a policy which will le tain the control of tbe House of Representa tives." "The policy will be forthcoming at the proper time. I have notbad an opportunity to consult my colleagues on the National Committee as to the futuie. I have jpst received an urgent summons to Washington, and will probably re turn there to-morrow. I shall then bo pre pared, possibly, to express some opinion." "It is rumored that the State Legislature of Pennsylvania will be called In special session after tbe United States census enumeration, for the purpose of reapportioning tbe Con gressional districts on the basis of increased population, and with the intention of relegating some Democrats to private life. Is there any foundation for tbe report. Senator?" "I had not heard of it." Will Pennsylvania or other Northern States be Gerrymandered f" "Whatever the policy of tho Republican party may be, it will bardly bo modeled upon Democratic methods, past, present or pro spective." "What will be your response to Congressman Dalzcll's latest gage of battle?" CAN SO AS HE rLEASES. "So many have been thrown down that I uardly know to which you refer. He is we 1 come.to conduct his battle after his own fash ion." And then the Senator asked the news paper man if he had ever read "Don Qnixote" in Spanish. "Did you notice the note of discord sounded in tbis morning's Dispatch by Wharton Bar ker?" was next asked. "Wharton is a perennial Barker," said tho Senator, smiling erimly at his pun. "Mr. Bar ker and his protest have been features of every State campaign time ont of mind. It may be fashionable to assail the Republican organiza tions in certain States, but it remains to be seen whether it Is jndicious. Pennsylvania will give an old-time Republican majority, no matter who may be tbe nominee. As to State or Alle gheny county matters, I have no intention of be ing quoted. I shall probably find much unfin ished work in Washington, and I feel in excellent mood for undertaking it. If you want to hear anything about fishing, I can talk upon that subject." In a subsequent conversation of some length nothlnc of a public character was developed. Richard R. Quay, the Senator's son. lias com mencea bis canrass for the Legislature, and will devote himself to it with the same persist ence that distinguished his father's early political fights. ALL WILLING TO MOYE. The Proposed Shift of Offices in tho City Hall. One or two moves are as bad in their effects as a fire, is an old saying, and so Chief Bigelow, of the Department of Public Works, seems to think with regard to tho proposed changes of official headquarters through tbe City Hall. Everybody seems both willing and anxious to move, and the Mayor would bo pleased to have the three 'offices grouped on tbe second story in the City Attorney's part of tbe building. The City Attorney is willing to exchange his present quarters for the office of Gamblo Wier, and the Mayor's present private office. The City Clerk, under the new arrangement, would get the office at present occupied by Chief Clerk Gray, of the Department of Public Safety. This would place the Department of Public Safety on the gronnd floor, occupying the may oralty rooms throughout. Treasurer Denniston, who wanted tbe whole flat on that side of the bnilding for an office, including paying, receiving and private depart ments. Is somewhat disappointed:, but as Mr. Biselow has taken no move in the matter, the question will be let drop. HIS DADGHTEE INSANE. Councilman Binder Convinced That Mrs. Welizell's Blind Is Affected. Councilman Andrew Binder stated last even ing to a Dispatch reporter that he considered his daughter, Mrs. Weitzell, afflicted with temporary insanity. "Sho has accused herself," he continued, "of faults and even crimes of which her relations can prove beyond all man ner of- doubt that she is guiltless. The half-incoherent manner in which she talks convinces us that her brain is affected. "Anything that medical aid can do shall be done to cure her. She has beer, acting curi ously ever since tbe birth of her last child." Hot Fight on a. Sbnnly Boar. A hot fight came off in a shanty boat at the foot of South Eighth street last night. Officers Haggerty and Cochrane swooped down on the filace and arrested Eli Galbraitb, John Fick ey and Grant Sherwig. The three combatants were lodged in the Twenty-eighth ward station house.

The Board of Directors df the Humane So ciety met yesterday. A discussion on what should be the proper course, if any, in taking steps to collect acts concerning the abuses and acts of cruelty alleged to have been committed by attendants at Dixmont Hospital towards patients in their charge, was the pnncipal busi ness transacted. The question that every one wanted to have answered was whether or not the Humane So ciety had any right to 'demand an investigation. It was discussed for several hours and resolu tions to the following effect were adopted: Tho agents of tbe society were Instructed to obtain information connected with tho al leged abuses and report at the next meeting. General Agent O'Brien said he had in his pos session considerable testimony bearing on the management of the institution at Dixmont, Some was from patients who had recently been discharged and some was the testimony of sane persons who havo no interest in distorting facts.

Supplementary Bills In the Marine Bank Case to be Presented To-Day. The date for the argu ments on the bill in equity of the ci ty against the Marine National Bank to compel tbem to closo up their area ways has not been fixed, but probably will to day. City A ttorney Moreland and Chief Bige low have decided to include all manner of side walk obstructions in tbe bill, and have the suits all argued at one time so as to definitely settle the question of tbe city's rights and powers in the mattor. To this end tbe City Attorney isnreparing thirty or more supple mentary bills in equity, covering each kind of Bidewalk obstruction, such as stairways, rail ways, ccllarways, doorsteps, balconies, sign boards, etc., and parties having such obstruc tions in front of their property and extending on the sidewalks, withont regard to whom the individuals may be, will be made parties to the different suits. The intention is to prevent any possibility of claims that favoritism or politics bad anything to do with the matter, and at the same time to have the authority of tbe Chief ot Ftolic Works fully established in the premises. These supplementary bills will be filed either to-day or to-morrow, and then the court will be asked to set the date for tho arguments. MORE POLICEMEN NEEDED. The Nortbslde Expects Soon to Have Much Better Protection. Mayor Wyman believes that Allegheny City's great expansion and growth of population re quire an enlargement of the present police force, wbich now numbers 67 patrolmen and 14 hurry-up wagon employes. The new Police Committee will be requested by Mayor Wyman to report an ordinance increasing the police between 25 and SO men. There is a sentiment in favor of the change in Councils, although there is crreat curiosity upon the Northside to see bow much attention Councils will pay to the wishes of the Mayor. Although Messrs. Wyman and Hunter buried the hatchet In public Monday morning, tbere are rumors that tbe handle is sticking out of the gronnd, ready to be exhumed upon a mo ment's notice. POLICE ON WHEELS. The Detectives Find tho Bicycle a Failure for Locomotion. The detective force, last night, had Its first experience with bicycle exercise on Diamond street. Detective Fitzgerald was the first victim, and with the aid of Detectives Coulson and Robinson, paddled down the Diode as far as Wood street, but on the return broke the record, the velocipede, and nearly broke his neck by taking a header into the cellar of the Tivoli garden. This discouraged tbe other detectives, and Sol Coulson tboucht be would wait, as he turns the scale over 00 pounds, and the prospect of Brown's finest turning out on wheels is at present rather remote, as there are no light weights on the force.

Ills 43 Feel 3 Inches-Lon-. and Will Held n Fall Load nf Chimneys. The largest freight car ever seen in this city was sent out yesterday on tbe Lake Erie Rail, roaa. It was shipped by the Peerless Lead Glass Company, and contained a shipment of lamp chimneys for Denver. Col. The car was St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern 9,775, and was brought here by the Missouri Pacific Pittsburg agency tor this special shipment. It Was built for furniture and other bulky freizhr, and it is likely the cars will be used hereafter for the shipment of chlmnejs. The car is 43 feet 3 Inches long, a feet 3 inches high and 9 feet in width. Ihe capacity of the car Is 40,000 pounds. About .5,000 pounds of windowglaS3 could be put in it, but only one-fifth of' this amonntof lamp chimneys could bo shipped. Tbo minimum weight on car loads of chimneys is 16,000 ponnds, and an ordinary car cannot hold thys weight of chimneys; This will make the car valuable to shippers of glassware. George A.
