mrv'fr" THE" PrTTSBUHG DISPATCH, THURSDAY. APRIL 17. IS9Q, MDERSOH HUN DOWN One of the Men Suspected of Murdering Mrs. Eudert. HIS FIGHT FOR FBEEDOM. Be Was Working as a Porter in an East Liverpool Hotel. KILLEN AFFECTED BT THE KBWS On Tuesday alternoon Detective Fitr cerald got a clew to the fact that Joseph Anderson, the colored man implicated in the murder of Mrs. Eudert at Tarentum, ivas in Pittsburg. The police officials have been for a long time on the track of the Tarentum murderers, and once before De tective Fitzgerald had located this same colored man at Ft. "Wayne, Ind., only to find that he had left the place a few hours before the detective's arrival. For a radius of 100 miles around rittsburg the country has been scoured by the police officials without any great parade of the fact, and while the county officials seemingly slept over the matter the police were busy, and at last "Lucky Fits" made the first break in the ranks of the escaped murderers. He found another colored man who had checked Anderson's trunk to East Liver pool on Tuesday, and chased the matter up until he found the suspected man had secured work In a hotel in that town. The detective left Pittsburg at 4 r. St., yesterday, and taking the other colored man with him reached East Liverpool shortly after 6 r. M. Probably the urst man he met in the depot was Anderson, who is also known by the alias of "New York Shine." Thedetecthe walked up to the colored man, and playfully remarked: "I cues: von might as v oil take a pleasure trip to Pittsburg. It won't cost you anything." HE STAKTED TO BU2T. The negro at once took exceptions to the trip and the acquaintance of the detective by starting to run, but was quickly caught by Fitz gerald. The prisoner then showed fight, but in this he tackled Fitzgerald upon his native heath, and if there is a colored man in the State of Ohio with a sorer head than Joseph Anderson, alias New York Shine, he can take the premium for solidity of cranium. He will come to Pittsburg in charge of the de tective by the 6 A. Ji. tram to-day, and with him will be brought the other colored gentleman who took part in the proceedings by assisting Anderson in his fight against arrest. It is thought that Anderson will make some important revelations on the subject of the murder of Mrs. Rudert, and the arrest or the other accomplices in the dastardly act is thought now to he a certainty in the very near luture. Inspector McAleese and Assistant Superintendent O'Mara were very much grati fied last night over the success of a Pittsburg officer, and said that they had several times come close to the fugitives from iustice. but would be certain now that the others would be caught. The Inspector said he did not know that Anderson was the man Tho committed the murder, but was confident that he was one of the men wanted for the crime. KILLEN DEEPLY AFFECTED. Alexander Killen, at present confined In the county jail, betrayed considerable emotion when informed of the arrest of Anderson, and eagerly inquired if the prisoner had told any thing. He w as informed that a lull confession was expected, and seemed to be deeply affected bv the news. It is more than probable that before the next "i hours some light v.:il be thrown on the authorship of the most wanton murder which has been committed in Alle gheny county for years, when Kudert's jewelry store at Taientum was robbed. A lcal account of the arrest by telegraph from East Liverpool sajs : Anderson has been here for about two weeks, and came, so he sajs, trom Latrobe. He denies that he knew such a murder was committed, but admitted that be knew Dctectne Fitzgerald He was snouting for his hotel at' the station, when Fitzgerald stepped no and kindly offered to shake hands with him. The surprised man reached out his hand, and. before he knew what was coming, the nippers it ere on his wrists. Anderson resistediaost desperately, and s it finally took two officers to land him in jail. The fact that he resisted and fought so, leads to the belief here that he is the right man. He is very guarded in his interviews with the mem bers of the press. Fitzcerald says he feels certain that he is one of the men that killed Mrs. Rudert. He will not likely go back to Pittsburg without a requisition. Anderson is a very dressy fellow, wears a high bat, and in sists that he can show ui every moment of his time since June last.''

No. 3, K. of L., yesterday was marked by the resignation of District Master Work man I. N. Boss and the election of Joseph L. Evans to the position. The action of Mr. Boss is occasioned bv his appointment as Deputy Surveyor of the Port and Olerk oi customs unacr non, uouu x. xviav, which position he takes charge of to-day. His resignation was as follows: Having twice been selected by the members of our organization to serve in the capacity of Master Workman, after serving three terms as Secretary of the District, is an honor that one might well be proud of. Upon accepting .tho positions to which I.was elected I promised to do all in my power to bring about a lriendlter feeling between the eiaployer-'a'nd employe. You are able and competent to judge." as to whether such has been uone or not Many en tangling alliances have sprung up, and some bitterness between leaders has been indulged in. Yet I believe it was brought about through misunderstandings, and not the desire to tear down rather than build up the organization. PLACED OK THE BLACKLIST. There was a time in the history of our order that to hold a position as District Master Work man was, in the eyes of the public, condemna- J. Newton Ross. tory and was almost equal to a blacklist for any one who would accept the position. We have had men in our district who were faithful work ers who had to tramp from place to place in or der to secure work when their names became known. Thanks are due to the order to-day for bringing about a different state of affairs. In telligent education, agitation and organization has touched the sympathetic chord of men's nature and consequently changed the condition ol thougnt Men occupying positions ai me head of labor organizations are looked npon as intelligent beings, and are to-day, I am proud to say, respected wherever they go. I entertain the friendliest feelings toward the organization, and its true and faithful adher ents. Yet, notwithstanding all this, I desire to tender my resignation as District Master Work man. I have received the .appointment to my new position without the solicitation of the order. Allow me to say that while I enter upon my new duties, I do so with the kindest wishes for the order's success, and will still promise to do all in my power iqr the success of the work ingmen in securing just and adequate compen sation for labor performed. The district is in good condition, and a lively increase in mem bership is near at hand. My successor may rest assured that he shall have my hearty sup port I remain yours, fraternally. L N. Ross.

TTSU SHE LIKES TO WORK. Oakmont Residents Claim That Mrs. McDonald is Out of Her Mind. A THREAT TO BUKN THE TOWN. She Had a Playful Habit of Wanting- to Carre Her Neighbors. THE HEARING SET FOE SATDEDAI The people of Oakmont and Hulton arc much excited over the arrest of Mrs. Maggie McDonald, who was lodged in jail Monday night on a charge of surety of the peace. At the jail she has been regarded as sane and harmless, but her neighbors have a different tale to tell. The womaD, they claim, has been married about 11 years, and in all that time she has never been able to agree with her husband. The story as told about her yesterday by David Bright, an Oakmont store keeper, was as follows: "The woman is quarrelsome, and is either crazy or subject to fits. At times she is a perfect ladv, and then again there is noth ing too wild for her to do. Last summer she s out at Mrs, Hazelbocber's farm, near here. That lady refused her something. Mrs. Mc Donald thereupon threatened to kill her. She wentonTinto the road and took off her clothes. Sbe stood there for a long time calling the other woman all the vile names she could think of. SHE MKES TO -WOBK. "It is only occasionally that she lives with her husband. She prefers to work as a servant, but never stays but a short time at any place. Her husband has repeatedly urged her to go to housekeeping, but she has always refused, and has left him for months at a time. She is mad ly jealous of him, and I believe much of her trouble comes from that, although there is no cause for it. He is an honest, hard working man. He is a carpenter and a painter. At different times she has been out of her mind and threatened to burn down part of the town. She- has also made attempts to kill peo ple. Her last outbreak was on last Thursday, when she left Michael Brigbt's boarding house, where her husband was keeping her, and took refuge with Mrs. Martha Powers. WANTED TO KILL SOMEBODY. "She became excited there and wanted to kill all tbe people in the house. On Saturday night she got possession of a butcher knife with a blade 12 inches long. She started out of the house.Meclaring she would kill her husband. Mrs. Powers caught her, and Mrs. McDonald tried to cut her. After a fight Mrs. Powers se cured the knife, but the woman got away from her and ran down to where her husband was staying. When she got inside sne tried to choke Michael Bright, a cripple, who, by the way, is not a relative of mine. Herlmsband stopped her, and sho had to be held id bed all night Constablo Mitchell was called in to assist, and as she had not quieted down by Monday it was deemed advisable to take her to jail. "At different times when she bad these fits, she would go to stores and purchase everything she happened to see that pleased her and order the bill Bent to ber husband. It was only after tbe urgent request of the citizens that sbe was sent to jail. We will not allow her to come back here again."

At tho hearing on Saturday her neighbors will make tbe above statements under oath. ALLEGHENY A WINNEE. An Attempt Will be Made to Give Away tho First Ward Square. Tbe bill providing for a Government building for Allegheny passed tbe Senate yes terday. It nas created much excitement in Allegheny, but no one knows just where the new building will be located. It will, at least, be in tho locality of City Hall. An attempt will also be made to give the First ward square for tbe purpose. Recorder Graham. In speaking of tbe matter last night, said: "The Government will not build on any ground unless they own it. The only way by which this square could be given is by securing the consent of all the people who hold property inside the parks. They are tbe only persons who would have any control of tbe matter. They made a gift in that man ner once by donating tbe site for the old peni tentiary, but it is doubtful whether tbe law could be stretched to that extent again. There is no doubt tbatsuch an attempt will be made." A CONGRESSIONAL FIGHT. Oscar L. Jackson Secures Ihe Delegates In Lawrence County. Ex-Congressman Oscar L. Jackson, of New Castle, was in the city yesterday. Mr. Jackson is a Congressional candidate in his district, and be was feeling elated because he had secured the delegates in bis county. He couldn't say how he would come out as the other three counties each have their man. Major Mc Dowell will get the delegates in Mercer county and Black will probably get there in Butler. When the delegates meet it will bs an interest ing quadrangular fight, and the best man will win. Mr. Jackson spoke feelingly about the loss of Mr. Randall with whom be served. He said tho last work he did in the House, was to have General Rosecrans placed on tbe retired list Some of the Republicans opposed tbe bill on the ground that Grant aud Rosecrans bad disagreed and it worried Mr. Randall a little.

LOCATING MUNICIPAL PLACE. City Hall Officials Do Not Want a Building Against Their Windows. Tbe Committee on Surveys met yesterday afternoon and organized by electing Mr. R.B. Carnahan Chairman. The committee will meet on the 5th of each month. Among tho numerous ordinances considered by this committee was one locating Municipal place, from Smithfield street to a point 120 feet below to the Hnssey property, at a width of 33 feet. Tbe intention of this ordinance is to make a public street of tbe property between the postofflce building proper and City Hall, so that when the postofflce property is sold the purchaser can be prevented from erectimr a building close to City Hall and shutting off tbe light from the windows on the south sido of the building. Tbe bill was recommended affirma tively. An ordinance establishing tbe grade of O'Hara street was laid over. A petition from the Pennsylvania Tube Company for the vaca tion of Commerce and Canton streets, running through the company's property in tho Four teenth ward, was laid over. An ordinance vacating Elwood street from Negley avenne to College avenue and one vacating a portion of Maruury street were also laid over. Tho following were affirmatively recom mended: "Vacating an alley between Tannebill and Vine streets: reducing the width of a por tion of Mifflin street; changing the name of Barton street to Morewood avenne; vacating Geneva street from Fi!.k to Fortieth streets; Rutledge street cast of Augusta street; Granite street from Wvlie to Herron avenues; Sample street from Boquet street 375 feet eastnard. Locating Breed street. Tank alley, Caroline street, Albert, Paul, Ellington, Meyers and Finley streets. Smith way,Continental,Meadow, Greenleaf. Well, Augusta, Edith and Alder streets, Coltart square and Municipal place; re locating Indiana street, Herron avenue and tho west line of South Thirtieth street; establish ing the grade of York alley and Washington avenue. Chief Bigelow yesterday said that in accord ance with the action of tbe Councils Committee on Surveys, tho Government nroperty next Municipal Hall ought to be purchased to secure light and ventilation. He thought the ground would be appraised at about 12,000 per foot front. The difficulty is that if a manufacturing or commercial building takes the place of the old postofflce, it will be built up to the limit of the space and shut off light from the City Treasurer, tbe City Clerk totally and ono Council chamber on one side. GOING IT BLIND. A Ono Eyed Sinn DInkcs a Peculiar Claim Against nn Insurance Society. The suit of David Humphreys against the National Beneficial Association is on trial be fore Judge White. Humphreys took out an insurance policy good for $1,000 in case he lost both eyes, both arms or legs, etc, but no men tion is made in the policy of the loss of a single eye or limb. Humphreys, however, was blind of one eye when he took the policy out, and afterward losing tbe other claimed tbe amount of insur ance. The company refused to pay on the ground that Humphrey had lost but one eye since be took out the policy, and was therefore entitled to nothing. 1,500 Pieces Amcricnn Dres.

TVbnt tbo Combination Did to Demonstrate That Clay Is I" Abandnnce. An expedition was started out yesterday to look for mud on the city streets. The explor ers were put to unexpected trouble in fludiDg sufficient alumine to justiry expectations, or to make their major premise good. One side of Bayard street is covered with cin ders, which makes the driving along that thoroughfare pleasant. Devotion to duty led tbe explorers through tbe soft side'of the street. The wagon wentthroucli what little mud there was and came out all right. At the corner of Bayard and Neville streets "a council of war was held, and it was decided that somo evidence of mud tmust ha cAr,-A A rordinpl v the expedition bor rowed a broom. According to the statement of a resident of Bayard street officers and privates set to work to wash the vehicle and horses with clay. Tho happy thought let the explor ers out of tbeir dilemma and .the expedition looked, as it came along Center avenue, as though it really had been given a mud batn in an oil country district. The only drawback to complete success was an unquenchable aroma of soap-sod dish water and sewer slops generally, which clung to the outfit. There isn't any doubt that Pitts burg streets might be madn mnch cleaner than they are, but the results obtained yesterday mlcht be bad iq tho dryest weather by utilizing a broom aad tbe contents of almost any gutter between the Exposition Building and Point Breeze.
