FAST LOW HEART.
The latest Capture in the
Budert Murder Case.
ONE OF THE MEN WANTED.
Identified by the Chief of Police of
Braddock,
WHO EXCHAKGED SHOTS WITH HIM.
The colored man, supposed to be Joe An
derson alias "Hew York Shine," who made
such a gallant fight for liberty and a ham
mered cranium, -was not feeling well yester
day. His first statement was to the effect
that he could account for every day he spent
both on and after December 23, the day of
the Endert murder at Tarentum. He even
professed Ignorance of any.murder having
occurred, and wound up by saying he was
in Indiana when it happened.
He kept this strain up for a greater part
of the day, but refused to give any reason
for his fierce fight to escape from Detective
Fitzgerald in East Liverpool, and ended by
acknowledging that he was the man who
was wanted, admitting his penitentiary rec
ord and several other pleasant events in his
life, but still stoutly disclaiming any knowl
edge of Mrs. Rudert's murder.
He came to this frame of mind after hav
ing been identified by John Donavin, Chief
of the Braddock police, who gave the three
men chase the morning after the murder,
and fired several shots after them.
WANTED AT LATROBE.
Anderson's next visitor was a constable
from Latrobe, who had read of his capture
in yesterday's Dispatch, and came down
with a warrant for him for larceny. It ap
pears Anderson had been working at a La
trobe hotel, and stole some clothing belong
ing to the guests, two weeks ago. The con
stable had a photograph and complete de
scription of Anderson and fully identified
him as the man wanted as ".New York
Shine."
During the levee Mr. Gilkinson, of
the Gilkinson Detective Agency, who has
had the case in charge lor the county
authorities since the dar after the murder,
called in, with one of his private officers,
to see the man the police have in charge.
He remained iust as communicative as he
has been since the murder, and the prisoner
might have been "Jack the Ripper" for all
the chief or the detective agency would
say.
Several other important witnesses will be
brought in to-day for the purpose of identi
fying the prisoner, among them the boy at
Brush'too, from whom he got breakfast the
morning of the murder, and a number of
Tarentum people.
The prisoner began to lose heart toward
evening as he realized the webs of evidence
that were being netted around him, butstnl
nersisted he knew pothincof the murder.
He accounted for dates perfectly as to his
whereabouts, except for about a week around
the date of the murder, and from the 18th to
the 38th.of December last he made a number
of contradictory statements.
HIS MEMOET CLEAES UP.
After that time he again becomes clear in
his memory, and can fix time and place for
almost every day up to that of his arrest.
It was discovered after Detective Gilkin
son left, that the visitor who accompanied
him wasa Braddock man, who had been with
Chief "Donavin in the chase after Griffin,
Conroy and Anderson tbeTnorning after the
murder, at Braddock. It was also stated
last night that Chief Donavin had been
down himself and identified Anderson as
one of the three men whom he bad the fight
with an the morning of December 24, but
the local police officials would not admit
that the statement was correct.
Coroner McDowell was asked last night
whether he thought the right bird was
caught, and he said that if the colored man
who was in the Central station was "New
York Shine" Anderson, there was no doubt
in his mind that he is the man who sat in
the boat tb,e night of the murder and rob
bery and had a share of the booty, which he
buried after rowing Griffin and Conroy
across the river, and then struck across the
country with them.
Every indication at present points to
Anderson being the man wanted, and the
police have several new clews to the mur
derer's location, through his admissions.
XO SEWS OF MISS PES1MX.
If She Joined Her Lover nt Wheellns;, No
One Yet Knows It.
Nothing has yet been heard of Miss Jen
nie Penman, who left her Southside home
on Thursday, April 10, in order to join her
lover, Arthur Gray, at "Wheeling. Her
present whereabouts have not been dis
covered by her parents and friends. Mrs.
Penman, the fair eloper's mother, was yes
terday searching among her daughter's ac
quaintances to learn if they had received
any message from the missing girl. A
family friend, Miss Cecilia Ackermann,
stated last night that Miss Penman had
promised to notify her immediately on arriv
ing at Wheeling, but she had heard nothing
from her. Miss Ackermann said that The
Dispatch was correct in denying that
Gray sent Miss Penman money to join him
at Wheeling.
The police have taken the matter in hand,
and have telegraphed to "Wheeling for news
of Miss Penman. Miss Ackermann believed
a marriage had taken place between Gray
and Miss Penman; but G. "W. Evans, of
South Tenth street, a close friend of Gray's,
Is positive Arthur left town before any
nuptial ceremony took place.

UNITING THE CHURCHES.
B Committee Appointed to Report a Plan
Stirring;- Speeches Made at tbe Conven
tionA Unanimity ol Feeling and a Flow
of 8ool.
The convention of delegates from the two
branches of the Reformed Presbyterian and
the United Presbyterian churches, called
for the purpose of forming a union of the
churches, opened last evening in the Eighth
Street Reformed Church. The Rev. Dr. H.
H. George presided and the Rev. J. H,
French, of Cincinnati, acted as Secretary.
Dr. George said the prayer of our Saviour
toward the close of His life, that His people
all might be one, has found a response in
many an earnest heart, it caused a longing
desire to see the day when partition walls
shall be broken down, loving hands shall
clasp and loving hearts shall flow together
in nearer and closer fellowship and reason.
The design of the convention was to have the
brethern talk together about union, to pray
together about it and to seek the Holy
Spirit to show what is right. He asked if
they could not untite to consecrate their
lives and all to the salvation of this fallen
world. If they could not agree to merge
the branches into one ecclesiastical unity,
let them agree to come closer together in
Christian effort
Rev. Dr. McAllister said the church is
distracted and not in its normal condition.
It is disorganized and never will be in a
settled state until all the churches are one.
It has against it all evil formed with a com
pactness that makes it one, and every
Christian church in the world must unite
in an organic body with a united front
against all evil. In this union there must
be the securing of the rights of conscience
without compromisiuc truth. The unwor
thy have the richt to dissent and bring up
the matter again. These differences, how
ever, should not keep asunder those who
are one in God.
The Rev. J. T. McCrory said it was not
necessary to conform to each other in small
matters of doctrine and church government,
but they could have a church union and all
retain their own doctrines. They must pre
sent a solid front in political work and tend
to give it a higher moral phase. It was im
portant that they should unite also, as this
generation will determine the political, so
cial and religious institutions of the world
for perhaps a thousand years to come. A
Committee on Resolntions was appointed to
report at the meeting to-day.

TO BDI OCT DUQ0ESNE TRANSIT.
Rumors Thnt the Pittsburg Traction Wants
to Do tbe Octopus Act Discredited.
General derision seems to have greeted the
rumor that the Pittsburg Traction officials
had made sundry propositions to Mr. C. B.
Magee, as the representative of theDuquesne
Transit Company, looking toward the dis
continuance of the operations of the latter
corporation. It was circumstantially stated
that Mr. Magee had been offered $300,000
for the franchises held by the Dnquesne
Company, and had refused to sell at any
price. That gentleman could not be seen
last night, but his friends discredit the
story.
Meanwhile the work upon Forbes street is
going merrily along, and the Craig street
power house will soon materialize. The
first rails on the Duquesne Transit road
were laid yesterday, in order to make good
charter obligations.

and proceeded to have a glorious time.
The hilarity, however, gave way to anger,
and bitter was the "scrapping match" that
ensued. Officer Glenn happened along and
arrested the three.

MILWAUKEE INYADED
Pittsburg Capitalists Buy the Cream
City Passenger Railway
FOR NEARLY A MILLION DOLLARS.
Local Syndicate Secures Valuable
Traction Franchises.
ELECTEIC1TI TO REPLACE HORSEPOWER
Sundry Pittsburgers will acquire by
purchase to-day the Cream City Passenger
Railway, of Milwaukee, by virtue of paying
therefor the sum of 900,000. The purchase
includes everything possessed by the corpo
ration. The Pittsburg gentlemen who are in the
syndicate are the followjng" well-known
moneyed men: John W. Chalfant, A. M.
Byers, A. "W. Mellon, "W. B. Van Kirk,
John Moorhead and others. Just who the
"others" are cannot be learned, hut the
above names are secured from an authorita
tive source. Representatives of Mr. Chalfant
and the other interested parties have been
passing back and forth between the Cream
Citj and Pittsburg for two or three weeks.
The deal will be closed this afternoon by
three gentlemen who boarded the limited
last night at Union depot, bound for Chi
cago, whence they will go to Milwaukee,
One of the party carried $900,000 in his in
side pocket. It was in the shape of certified
checks and bills of hair-raising size. The
papers will pass by 5 o'clock this after
noon. TALUK OP THE rtTBCHASE.
The Cream City Passenger railway is
23 miles in length, and the most com
prehensive system in Milwaukee. It
traverses tbe principal streets ot tbe buff
colored city, and connects the various depots
and hotels. Tbe road is esteemed dirt cheap,
and would easily bring twice as much if
handled in the manner the Philadelphia
syndicates employs. Just how the Pitts
burg syndicate managed to secure it so
cheaply is not known, but it is rumored that
the adroit negotiations of Mr. Arthur
Kennedy were no small factor in the com
pletion of the deal. As compared with other
recent sales and the usnal amounts of capi
talization per mile, as well as the record of
passenger traffic, the road would be held at
between two and three million dollars.
Milwaukeeans will be given rapid transit
on the Sprague electric system plan just as
soon at the change can be made. The road
has an indifferent eqnipment or horses and
antediluvian cars. The new cars will be
built for the company by Pullman, and the
contract will be let without delay. Tbe
Sprague Electric Company has a man en
route to Milwaukee, and he will imme
diately commence making an estimate. A
large power house will displace each of the
two sets of horse stables.
TO BE HUBEIED TF.
An effort will be made to rush the change
from horses to electricity, in order to catch
the immense summer traffic to the Lake
Shore resorts. It is confidently expected
to double the receipts of the company by
the change in motive power.
A gentleman who is onto ihe deal states
that there is some leaning toward the
Thomson-Houston storage battery motor,
but that as compared with the Sprague sys
tem, the latter was the favorite on account
of the practical demonstration afforded by
the Pleasant Valley line. The Sprague peo
ple are now showing an extra inducement in
the shape of an improvement upon the iron
pole which sustains tbe overhead wires.
The new pole is neatly cased with wood for
a distance of 10 feet from the ground, thus
providing a safe and cheap insulation.
Further information about the Milwaukee
deal will be afforded when the Pittsburgers
return, within a day or two.
FIRST OF THE SEASON.
Tbe South Side Enloyr a Rehearsal of the
Pioneer Circus.
The tents of the circus gleam white in the
land, and the meadows of Twenty-first street
once more re-echos with the soul-stirring
music of the menagerie brass band. The
walls are bright with flaring posters; the
feats of Miss Hermione de Montmorency
and SignorBudovico Cospetti are brilliantly
portrayed upon the street corners, for a space
the big drum will boom forth its nightly
summons to those good people whose eyes
ache for a sight of that performing elephant
or those ferocious red Indians from the
limitless reservation.
"Walter B. Main's hippodrome and men
agerie, of Pottsdam, N. Y., is the pioneer
circus of the Pittsburg season. It is quite
a large establishment, consisting for the
most part of the old Van Amburgh circus.
Last evening a rehearsal was held,
and quite a number of spectators
succeeded in getting a first view of the
performance, which was excellent. There
are some score and a halt of horses, the
usual quantum of menagerie wild beasts
(all genuine, by their howls), and a num
ber of pretty lady performers. Everything
went on swimmingly last night, and Sonth
siders may look out for a good thing when
the show opens to-day.
LED BT A CHILD.
An 8-Year-Old Tot Tarns a Bis; Hungarian
Over to tbe Police.
A very funny scene was enacted in the

looking fellow, who the boy said was lost
It transpired that the lost boy, who was
nearly six feet high and about 21 years old,
was a Hungarian who works somewhere in
Allegheny, but got lost and couldn't find
his way home.
The lost boy was given quarters until
someone appears to claim him.

A IjATIONAI. B0IC0TT.
The Iff. HI. P. U. Orders 10,000 Circulars
for Its War Airnlnst (he Lenane.
The Musical Mutual Protective Union
has apparently only started In its crusade
against the National League Baseball Club,
on account of the latter's refusal to dismiss
the Great Western Band, which it claims is
a non-union organization. Yesterday the
M. M. P. TJ. ordered printed 10,000 circulars
for distribution in every city where the
League club plays. The circulars will be
sent to the Trades Council in each city,
and the latter requested to distribute
them on the streets, uu the day the League
club arrives in such cities. The M. M.
P. TJ. has also hired the Cathedral Band to
escort the Brotherhood clnbs to the ball
grounds, to-morrow. There will be more
than enough music in the air, as the Bocal
Players' club has also hired the Grand
Army Band. The M. M. P. TT. will have
a large wagon out decorated with a
streamer, upon which will be painted "Pat
ronize the Brotherhood ball club, the only
employers of union labor and union mu
sicians." August Kreil, of the M. M. P. TJ., yester
day sent a letter to Secretary Scandrett, of
the club, in which he freely expressed the
sentiments of the organization he represents.
He said: "Mr. Ross failed to live up to
his proposition in regard to arbitrating the
matter. I asked him if be would abide by
the decision of the board if they decided the
Great "Western Band was non-nnion. He
answered in the negative. This proves that
he did not wish the matter amicably settled.
It will be remembered that the Great
Western Band was engaged last year by
Horace Phillips. The engagement was can
celled, and at the benefit for Mr. Phillips
last fall the Grand Army Band volunteered
its services and, did all in its power to make
the benefit a success."

TO CONDEMN A PIKE.
A Movement to Secure a Siity-Foot
Street Out to Perrysville.
PETITIONS NOW IN CIRCULATION.
The Pleasant Talley Road Wishes to Double
Track That Branch.
A WARD ALL EEADI FOE ANNEXATION
A petition is being circulated in the hill
wards of Allegheny asking the City Coun
cils to condemn the Perrysvlle Pike road lor
street purposes, inasmuch as it is entirely
within the city limits, and far too narrow
and circumscribed for the needs of the com
munity. This action arises from the universal de
mand that the Perrysville branch of the
Pleasant Valley line be double tracked in
stead of running upon the switch system.
The Pleasant Valley Company has been
anxious to double track the road ever since
the Federal street and Perrysville road be
came a part of its system, but as the width
of the pike is only 34 feet at many points it
is impossible to operate two tracks and
maintain the roadway.
A. vigorous ettort will be made to enlist the
aid of Councils. The concession is made
that the building of the line has trebled the
value of real estate in that section of the
city.
TOMi GATES IN THE CITY.
"When the railway was first laid the turn
pike company received (15,000 for an ease
ment of their right of way, thus letting in
the railway. The last gate of the Perrys
ville Pike Company and the major portfon
of its roadway are within the city limits,
and the residents of tbe hill display the
same hostility to the toll system as Hon. A.
C. Robertson evinces toward the Point
bridge. There is a pronounced feeling in
favor of the abolition of the turnpike, and
Councils are expected to take decided action
in the matter.
The general view seems to be that a 60
foot street clear to the city limits would be
about what is wanted. Should such action
be taken, it is certain, that the Pleasant
Valley will build a double track the whole
extent of its present line. As at present
operated, the cars have to tarry at the
switches more often and for longer periods
than suit the Perrysyillians.
AN EXPENSIVE JOB.
Nearly the entire road would have to be
widened from the inner side, as nothing
short of bridge building would do much on
the cliff side, where an abrupt declivity of
100 to 400 feet, almost sheer descent, pre
sents practically insurmountable engineer
ing difficulties. Retaining walls would
have to be constrncted on the inner side, and
the job is likely to prove a costly one. Tbe
sharp turn at the old power house would
also present difficulties.
The Pleasant Valley Company cannot run
enough cars at certain hours of the day to
accommodate patrons, and on a day like
last Sunday it was said to be an actual fact
that 8,000 people, walked up the hill, unable
to secure transportation.
It is said by some that the Perrysville or
any other pike road cannot be maintained
when wholly within the limits of a city.
There is some doubt upon tbe point, and
legal advice will be had.
The population beyond the city limits is
anxions for annexation as the Fourteenth
ward.
THE CABMEN'S COMPLAINT.
They Consider Chief Brown's Card Bates a
Bit Too Illiberal.
The cabmen were holding an indignation
meeting about Chief Brown's cab regulation
order at midnight, at which the prices pre
scribed were the subject of condemnation.
"Why," said one ot the speakers, "Chief
Brown himself has often given me $1 for
taking him up to his house when tho fare is
only 75 cents. If he wants to regulate cab
fares why doesn't he get out a
fair schedule? You cannot expert a man to
drive up to Thirty-first street, which is in
the Twelfth ward, and haul a heavy trunk
up or down three flights of stairs and then
to the depot, with a passenger, for 50 cents.
An express wagon would charge 75 cents or
$1 for hauling tbe trunk alone.
These sentiments were heartily indorsed
by the entire assemblage, and it was decided
that a memorial should be prepared, request
ing uniet -Lsrown to issue a more liberal
card rate.
Met and Talked it Over.
The American Citizens' Equal Bights
Association held a meeting at Eureka Hall,
on Arthur street, last night. . A. Mossett

Addresses were made by Broadax Smith

members were taken into the association.

PROTESTANTS TO MEET.
Hugh O'Donnell and Manager Poller Deny
an Anil-Catholic Story.
To-morrow evening an open meeting of
Protestants will be held at Homestead. The
meeting, it is said, is the outgrowth of the
bitter feeling between the Catholic and
Protestant residents of the town. It was
stated yesterday that the demonstration will
be but the beginning of the war which is
now brewing among certain elements.
Hugh O'Donnell, the well-known execu
tive of the Amalgamated Association of
Iron and Steel "Workers, denies the charges
that be tried to secure the discharge of three
Protestants from Carnegie's mill. It was
charged that Mr; O'Donnell reported John
Woods, Thomas Black and William J.
Abbott, ot the open-hearth department, as
being inimical to the interests of the com
pany. The three men, it is said, organized
an anti-Catholic society, and thereby secured
the ill-will of Catholics working in the mill.
Mr. J. A. Potter, manager of the mill, also
denies that Mr. O'Donnell complained
to him abont the three men.
The trouble dates back to the mission held
in Rev. Father Bullion's church some
months ago. It was currently reported
that the Catholics had been warned not to
affiliate with Protestants. This is denied
by tbe Catholics. There are about 3,000
Catholics in the town, ont of a population
of 7,000 residents. The Catholics say Mr.
O'Donnell is straightforward, and would
not stoop to the trick ot trying to Have
Protestants discharged.
PASTURE FOE C1TI HORSES.
The Department of Public 8afety Leases a
Part of Bach's Hill.
The Department of Public Safety has se
cured a lease on a large tract of land on the
top of Kuril's Hill, which is to be fenced in
and used as a pasture and hospital for the
horses of the Police and Fire Departments.
Heretofore thev have been using a field at
Shadyside for this purpose, but the property
is to be placed on the market, and the city
must vacate.
The tract has been leased for a trifling
sum, and a cheap barn will be built upon it
for sheltering the horses.
PICKED DP A P0CKE1B00K.
A Woman Lodged In Jail for What She
Clnlms Was a Natural Mistake.
Mrs. H. Cole was, yesterday, committed
to jail in default of bail for court, on a
charge of larceny preferred by Agnes Mc
Carthy, before Alderman McKenna. The
prosecutrix claims that Mrs. Cole picked np
her pocketbook containing 8 in a Penn
avenue store.
Mrs. pole admitted picking up the purse,
but said she did so nnder the impression
that it was her own.
MUSICAL HEADQUARTERS,
Klebers Lead All Others.
Purchasers put more faith in the honesty
and judgment of that old and trusted mnsic
house of H. Kleber & Bro. than in anyone
else. An instrument coming from Klebers'
store, be it a Steinway, Conover, Gabler or
Opera piano, or a Bnrciett or Earhuff organ,
is accepted as good and reliable, for the
opinion of Mr. Kleber is looked upon as
final and conclusive. Hundreds of people
have made ihe remark: "Oh, I wish I had
called on yon first and bought an instru
ment of you;" and then they beg the Kle
bers to take the piano or organ which they
bought elsewhere of! their hands and ex
change for the superior ones at 'the latter
place. Klebers' prices are $25 to $50 lower
than those of other dealers, and their terms
of pavment are easier.
While other dealers sit around complain
ing of bard times the Klebers are kept as
bnsy as bees. Don't fiil to call at Klebers',

WE
MAKE
MATTRESSES.
In connection with onr thoroughly
equipped upholstery workshops wa
have a department for making mat
tresses. Oar upholstering has an en
viable reputation. Only workmen of
skill and experience are employed,
every man that touches your work be
ing trained and practical in bis particu
lar line. We will not use second-rats
materials, and every piece of work
turned out Is absolutely and strictly
first-class In everyway. Onr facilities
are unequaled, our prices unapproach
able, and already our trade equals, if It
does not exceed, that of any of the
largest houses devoted exclusively to
the upholstery business. With each re
curring season onr work increases many
fold.
We ask a moment of yourtime. Wehavo
a story that is convincing; tbat will
make you a patron 0! our mattress de
partment every time you are in need.
But the story cannot be best told in cold
type the work tells tbe story most con
vincingly. We are often asked to repair mat
tresses. When you buy mattresses you
don't open them up. When we repair
them we have to do so. The centers are
filled with hair of the meanest sort, of
soft and mattybair. You didn't know
It, so what's the difference? This. It
you bad had one of our mattresses to
change to occasionally you would bavs
known the difference. Another com
parison: Open one of onr mattresses
after ten years of wear and the hair is
good as new. Ten years of comfort and
you can sell your mattress for about
what you paid for it. This means that
we use tbe best and purest bair, and
tbat it is practically everlasting.
We use a special quality of ticking to
cover them tbat is as nearly as possible
impervious to dust.
One of our mattresses is a luxury.
The usual prices are from $30 to $35
each.
