Pew, James Phelan, Isabella Wallace, D. H. Wallace, Bethany Lutheran Chnrch and Thomas S. Bigelow have filed a bill in equity against the Highland street railway uompany ana the Duquesne Traction Company, asking the Court to declare that the defendants nave no lawful power or authority to lay down or operate a street railwaT on North Highland avenue, in the Nineteenth ward, between Kirkvrood and Bryant streets. PLEA OF THE PLAINTIFFS. The petitioners set forth that they are owners in fee simple of eight-tenths of all the lauds abutting on the avenue between the points named, and own to the center of the said highway. They ask that the de fendants now, by preliminary injunction, heicafter to be made final, be restrained from entering upon, laying down, construct ing, maintaining or operating a street rail way between the points named; or, that be fore defendants may enter, etc., they be re quired to pay to plaintiffs just compensa tion for the injury likely to result by reason of such occupation, or to give plaintiffs ade quate security therefor; and ask for such other relief as the exigencies of the case may require. Prior to the filing of the petition there was a gathering of the petitioners, at which Mr. D. P. Beighard set forth the case for the plaintiffs thus, and his version is similar to that contained in the bill. The avenue has been paved with a smooth asphalt pave ment, wholly paid for by the plaintiffs, which diminishes largely the noise and an noyance caused by travel, and the improve menthas largely increased the valneof lands abutting, for residence purposes, etc Mr. Iteighnrd says the ground on which relief is sought presents two serious questions for the defendants' consideration and digestion. He says: EIGHTS GRANTED BY LAW. "It appears by the street railway law that defendants have no ritrht to enter on anv street to construct a road without con- I scut of the Councils of the city, but that consent is easily obtained. "All the annoyances which would result from the construction of such electric rail way are set forth in the bill, and it is re cited that the Highland Street Bailway Company, by virtue of its incorporation under the act of May 14, 1889, is invested with the power to take private property for public use, and the Duquesne Traction Companv, incorporated under the act of March 22, 1889, has made or is about to make some lease or other agreement with the Highland Street Bailway Company,and City Councils have pretended to give the Duquesne the right to do so, and thereby destroy the comtort of the residents who do not need or want such road, at least 80 per cent of the interest does not." Getting back to his mutton, Mr. Beighard says a general ordinance would not accom plish the purpose of the defendants, as it would allow any other company to enter on the street and compete. The Duquesne Traction Company proposes to have exclu sive authority, and to "rule the roost," and could only obtain it by securing the passage of the special ordinance, and now the ques tion arises as to whether the Pennsylvania Legislature or Pittsburg is the superior body, and whether by virtue of an ordinance of Pittsburg Councils the Duqnesne Trac tion Company can override an act of Assem bly. AS TO CONSTITUTIONALITY. Having gotten this far, the plaintiffs as sail the constitutionality of the act itself under which the Highland Street Bailway Company claims to be incorporated. They propose to show, they sav, that the act of May 14, 1889, is in violation of Article XVI, Section 8, of the Constitution, which pro vides that corporations taking private prop erty must make restitution to the owners. Mr. Beighard states that the street railway act plainly gives to corporations the privi lege to take private property, but provides so compensation tor damages. By this time Mr. Beighard got warmed up, and discoursed substantially, as follows: "The proceedings are in direct violation of the constitutional reauirement, and give no authority to companies incorporated under that act to construct roads without compensating for injuries done private property. If this point be well taken and it seems to be the result will be that none of the Duqnesne Traction Company's charters railroaded through the Legislature and Pittsburg Councils are of any validity, and in this view it seems to raise a question as to the very existence of these companies. Investors 'had better put on their thinking caps. To a layman it would seem plain that when the Con stitution requires compensation for property taken, and the question arise as to whether the Legislature has power to incorporate a company on such a basis as this, and it the Legislature has no power, where will it be found? Judce Penny packer, in the Common Fleas Court of Phil adelphia, in the case of the People's Passen ger Bailway Company versus the Marshall Street Bailway Company, intimated strongly that the general street railway act was un constitutional, and would be so decided by him were the question involved in the issue before him. "For these reasons the property-holders on Highland avenue invoke the a'id of the law for the protection of their property, and to test the question as to whether they have any rights that corporations are bound to respect" Counsel were directed to file the bill forth with. THEIR ANNUAL OUTING. Louisville Passenger Men Planning for a .Good Time. Mr. Herman Holmes, the genial Travel ing Fassenger Agent of the Louisville and Nashville road, was in the city yesterday for the first time in many months. He has been laid up all winter with rheumatism and his friends were glad to see him. "He was kept busy scattering invitations to the annual outing of the Louisville Pas senger and Ticket Agents Association. A special train has been tendered by the Louis ville and Nashville road, and" the ajents will go to Middlesborough. Ky., where a banquet will be served. One day will be spent in visiting the historic Cumberland Gap and the Gap tunnel. A number of lo cal railroad men hare accepted invitations and will go. TWO BUFFERING WOMEN. TheWiloofnn Allegheny Contractor Wnn drra From Home While Crazed by Ill ness The nd Plight of a Penn Avenne Widow. Mrs. Edward J. Mcllvaine, wife of the Allegheny contractor, of No. 60 Grant ave nue, was found by the Pittsburg police pacing up and down the Union bridge in a frenzied manner about 9 o'clock last even ing. She was taken to the Central station in a patrol wagon. As she was being car ried inside her screams so affected a Miss Martin, ot Braddock, who was passing, that the latter fainted, and also had to be carried in and resuscitated by the police matron. Inspector McAleese sent for Mr. Mcllvaine, who had been making a vigorous but vain search for his wife. Mr. Mcllvaine said bis wife had but recently suffered from a very severe illness, which had apparently resulted in affecting her mind. Mrs. Dinah Bridges, a middle-aged widow who lives on Willow street near Fortieth street, will probably be taken care of to-day by the Department of Charities. Some of her neighbors notified the department yes terday that she has been confined to bed for about a year, and is still in a helpless con dition. In addition to a. diseased body the unfortunate woman's mind is affscted, ac cording to the certificate of a Lawrenceville physician, who formerly was her attendant. During the time Mrs. Bridces has been sick she has received attention from humane neighbors, but, as her infirmities are of a permanent character, they desire to be re lieved. She is supported by two sons. TKAMPS AIOYIXG WEST. The Gangs Bobbing Towns Along tho Fcnu svlrnnln Hand. The vernal tramp is beginning to appear at a number of places along the Pennsyl vania road. His objective point for the next six months will be the wild West. Special Agent Hampton Houghton is kept busy with his force of detectives keeping the loafers away from the railroad. The in habitants in the smaller towns suffer the most Mr. Hampton says that Jeannctte and Johnstown have been regular harvests for them. The Burgess of Jcannette has given them notice that every tramp caught in the town will be employed in improving the streets. Johnstown's Mayor has also adopted a, similar policy. In the towns along the railroad the gangs rob soring houses, and sometimes even break into residences. They are very fond of food, clothing, jewelry and money, but they are not particular, and though they can't carry off real estate, they do not draw the line on personal property. The tramps between here and Johnstown are the ones who have spent the winter in the coke regions. They sleep in the warm ovens and near the fires. All of them caught on the Pennsylvania road will be promptly jugged. COUxN'ClLMLW AS DEADHEADS. They Must be Admitted Into the Music Hall at All Times. The Allegheny City Property Committee met last night and unanimously re-elected Fred Lehman janitor of City Hall. A sub committee of three was appointed to take charge of the renting of Music Hall. A motion that the members of the City Prop erty Committee should at all times have free access to Music Hall caused consider able discussion. Chairman James Hunter said it looked too mnch as though the members of the commiteee wanted to deadhead their way into concerts. Mr. Einstein thought if members wanted to go into the hall they should pay for the privilege the same as anybody else. The motion, however, was finally adopted. Mr. Lare moved that a competent organist, who would at stated times give free recitals, be regularly en gaged. The motion was referred. "VYHI EDBBEE IS SCARCE. The Natives Hadn't the Money to Gather the Crop. The price of rubber has been advanced G cents, but local dealers say that this is only a drop in the bucket There will be a heavy advance in all rubber goods in the next 30 days. It is not because a syndicate has bought up a large quantity of rubber, but because the crop has not been gathered. A local dealer explained the situation yesterday. Said he: The men who put up the money to have the crop of rnbber gath ered failed to do it this year. So far as I know the gum trees of South America pro duced as much as ever, but the people not having the dust to gather it, a good portion of 'lie crop was wasted. The result is a scarcity, and a heavy advance in price. I don't care to say how much it will go up, but it will be more than 5 cents." HEW HOUSE PHYSICIANS. The Hen Who Faascd-ihe Examination nt Mercy Hospital. The competitive examination held yester day at Mercy Hospital for the selection of house physicians resulted in the success of Dr. F. F. Myers, of Lewistown, a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania; Dr. C. A. Leisher, of McAllisterville, also a grad uate of the University of Pennsylvania, and Dr. T. F. McManns, of Bradford, a grad uate of the West Penn Medical College. The examination was conducted by Drs. Davis and Henghst. Formerly there were but two house physicians, but the very large increase in the number oi cases under treatment during the past year made the se lection of three a necessity. NO SHOW FOR M'KIKLEI, Mr. Mall, of Akron, Says the Major Unit Step Down nod Oat. Hon. John J. Hall, of Akron, was regis tered at the Seventh Avenue Hotel last evening. He is a striking man, wearing a broad-rimmed hat on a head around which he carefully combs his long, bat sparse, gray hair. Mr. Hall is an Ohio Democrat, and he thinks the redistricting of the State is all right According to Mr. Hall, Major McKinley will be knocked out He doesn't believe, either, that the McComas gerrymander bill will pass. IN CASE OF HIGH WATER, The Southern Pacific Will final Trains for Ibe Texas nnd 1'nclDc. Mr. T. C. Frew, the local freight repre sentative of the Texas and Pacific road, said yesterday that in the event of high water impeding traffic between New Orleans and Cheneyville, his road had already made ar rangements with the Southern Pacific by which their passenger aud freight trains will be run over the tracks of the latter line between these points on the regular schedule. All the Texas and Pacific coast connec tions will be made. . School Directors Resigned. At the meeting of the First ward, Alle gheny, school bbard last night, Messrs. S. B. Thompson and James A. Gibson, who have recently removed from the ward, tendered their resignations. Dr. R. V. Pit cairn and Mr. James Spang were chosen to fill the unexpired terms. Robbed or His Sparkler. G. H. Jones, of 714 Mint street, South side, complained to the police last night that two men approached him on Water street, snatched his necktie and a diamond pin, valued at $100, and then made off. Db.

THE SDPfiEME COUNCIL TO COME. Officials Say Thej Do Not Care "Whether a Strike Occurs. A FEW MINOR LABOR HAPrENINGS Nothing can no w be done in the impend ing railroad strike until Monday. Whether there will be a strike or not is still an open question. The officials of the different unions engaged in the trouble explain the slowness with which something definite is being done by saying that they are a con servative body of men, and will not pre cipitate a strike until there is not the slightest probability of coming to satis factory terms with the officials of the different roads. The latter say they have done all they propose to do, and will wait until something turns up. If a strike is declared, they say they will be able to meet it, and in their opinion they will not come out second best Grand Master Downey, who has been in the city for the past ten days trying to effect a settlement, left last night for Chicago to arrange some matters in connection with the demands. He stated that nothing would be done by the men until his return on Monday, and he would bring other people with him who would settle the agony one way or the other. He would not say that he would bring back the members of the Supreme Council of the Federated Order of Bailway Employes, butleltitto be inferred. NO NEW DEVELOPMENTS. Before leaving, Mr. Downey said: "There was no development In the matter to-day, and there can be none now until Monday. I am going home to Chicago, to confer with some people, aud will bring them to Pitts burg when I return, Monday morning. They will have the authority to order a strike if the railroad companies do not give us a more satisfactory answer. We do not think their proposition is a fair one. In fact it proposes a reduction in many cases, and we would be foolish to accept it What the outcome of the matter will be I do not know. We must move slowly, and there is plenty of time. If the public do not under stand the details of the working of our or ganization, it is not our fault We will not strike unless it is absolutely necessary." A meeting of the Switchmen's Mutual Aid Society was held last night in Labor Hall, bntonly lodge business was discussed. The proposed strike, of course, came up in an inlormal way. but no action of any kind was taken on it. After the meeting one of the members, when asked if the Federated Order would do anything, replied: "I hope they will; it is pretty nejrly time they did." waiting foe news. A tour of the railroad offices developed nothing new. The officials said they were following Mr. Micawbcr's example, but did not care whether anything turned up or not. They stated that they had offered 25 and 24 cents for night and day conductors and 19 and 18 cents for night and day brakemen re spectively. This, they declared, would be the last offer made, and they did not care whether it was accepted or not. Their reply was given, to Messrs. Downey and Wilkin son. The latter will stay in the city while Mr. Downey is absent in Chicago. It was rumored yesterday that Pinkerton detectives are in the city aud were shadow ing the employes' officials. This was de nied, and it was stated that the only detec tives engaged on the case are those employed by the Perkins agency, ot this city, and the regular railroad detectives. The petition of the baggagemen at the Union station for an increase of $10 per month was presented to Chief Baggage Master C. S. Jenkins. The latter relerred it to Superintendent Fitcairn, who in turn forwarded the petition to Philadelphia for action. The men say they have no inten tion ot striking and if the petition is refused they will do nothing. The work, is hard and it is said the men should get the in crease. THREE THOUSAND 0TENS IDLE. Tbe Colters) Threaten Tronblo if Any Dis crimination la Made. The following telegram was received last night from Scottdale: "Nearly 600 coke ovens were blown out by the Frick and Mc Cinre Coke Companies this week. No one plant was entirely shut down, and by the equalization of work a large n umber ot miners were saved from being entirely thrown out of employment. A labor official stated yes terday that it the McClure Coke Company shut down the entire Lemor.t plant, as in tended, a rupture might be the result "He said tbe miners would not tolerate any discrimination. The McClure com pany will close no plant unless it is neces sary. If the Lemon t plant is blown out it will be for no other reason than the lessened 'demand for product. About 3,000 ovens are now out of blast in this region." A conference between Superintendent McFadden, of tbe Whitney Coke Works, and Secretary C. M. Parker was held, bnt no settlement war reached. Contrary to ex- pectations only 500 men were out on strike in the Smithton district this morning. THICK COAL TEINS OPENED. Two Firms Start Plants In tho Threatened District. The proposed movement of the thin vein coal operators to go into the thick vein busi ness was given an impetus yesterday by the announcement that the two well-known firms bad taken the bull by the horns and would open thick vein mines. Tbe firms are Osborne & Saeger and John Blythe. The former company opened a thick vein on the "Pemicky" road and the latter one on the Pittsburg, Virginia and Charleston. Osborne & Saeger's mine is lo cated in thick vein district and'Blythe's new works is near Bellevernon. It is stated the movement will be followed by other firms. - ANOTHER NEW TOWN. It Will be Located on tbe Connrqacnesslng River, Near Rock Point. A party of capitalists, with H. W. Hart man, of Beaver Falls, at tbe head, has pur chased a large tract of land on the Conne quenessing river, at Bock Point, and will build a new town. Tbe name of the place will be Ell wood, and it will be a manu facturing rity. Among other attractions will be a large summer hotel. The Connequenessing will be dammed, and yachting will be an attractive featnre of the place. The town will be. named after Millionaire Eilwood, of Chicago. It will have several manufactories. Not to be Removed for Awhile. The Wcstinghouse airbrake shops in Al legheny are not to be removed for the pres ent, at least, the company having received orders which will keep both the Wilmer ding and the Allegheny shops busy tor some time to come. The company lias ob tained the contract to furnish airbrakes for' all the new freight cars to be placed on the entire Yanderbilt system, and tbe company is already behind 20,000 sets on other orders. Importing Colored Miners. Twenty-one negroes passed through the city yesterday on their way from Bichmond, Ya., to McDonald station, on the Pan handle, to work in the mines of W. P. Bend & Co. It is said tbe firm imported' 250 colored miners from Virginia, nnd labor officials are wondering why the action was taken, as there are hundreds 'of idle' white miners in this lection. . , , " . THE AMALGAMATED ELECTION. That Report of Religions Differences Pronounced an Exaggeration. Some few days ago in The DISPATCH labor columns mention was made of reported differences in the election of delegates to the Amalgamated Association on the alleged grounds of religious issues. We have since had calls from members of the association who state that the matter was greatly exag gerated by thepartyor parties who informed onr reporter. The election of delegates in nearly all of the local lodges will take place to-morrow. The contests iu many cases are waxing quite warm, bat assurance is given by the mem bers who called that the contests are being conducted in a friendly manner. The em ployes at Carnegie's Thirty-third street mill claim that the contest there is entirely amicable, and that as far as they are con cerned the question of the religion oi a can didate is not entering into the race at all. They are quite indignant that such a report was given prominence, and declare that while there may be some who would be in fluenced by such considerations the matter has been greatly exaggerated. Messrs. Frank Martin and John W. Mc Coy, candidates for delegates to the next convention of the Amalgamated Convention from Eureka Lodge No. 43 are especially emphatic iu their denial that any such issue is entering their contest as has been reported. The above embodies their statement. Discussed the Amalgamation. The K. of L. green bottle blowers met last night in K. of L. Hall. After the meeting tne members stated nothing had been done about the proposed amalgamation with the American Flint Glass Workers' Union. The agitation was still going on, but the matter could not be definitely settled until the annual conventions of both organiza tions, in July. ACCIDENTS OF A DAY. No Deaths Yesterday, bnt Somo People Were Badly Injured. Yesterday afternoon a man named Henry Ford had a piece of steel driven into his knee at one of the open hearth furnaces at Shoenberger's mill.

Frederick Hall man, a laborer employed at tbe Edgar Thomson Steel Works, was brought to the Mercy Hospital yesterday suffering from fracture of the right leg, which he received by falling from a scaffold a distance of 20 feet Martin Kalchtballer, employed as a track hand on the Pittsburg and Western rail road, foolishly placed his hand on the track aud allowed a truck to run over it. Mr. Kalohthaller is at the Allegheny General Hospital for repairs. Last evening a lamp fell in a cable car at Bellefield. The fire was put out with diffi culty, and two panic stricken colored women were hurt jumping from the car. Johnny Kraus, a 5-year-old boy who lives on Tustin street, fell down a cellar way on Grant street last night, and was badly cut about the head. A team of horses ran away with four women in a carriage on Federal street yesterday.

United States .Marsh al McSweeney yes terday arrested James Wilt, John H. Bis bing, John Sipe and Edward Bisbing near Stoyestown, Somerset county, on a charge of making counterfeit dollars and half-dollars. The first two were brought to Pittsburg yes terday and lodged in jail, and the others will be brought down to-day. Wilt, who has been employed as a teamster in Mc JCeesport for some time past, protests his in nocence, and disavows any connection with the other parties, who are prominent citi zens of Somerset county. The officers found a number of suspicions tools in the counterfeiters' den, which is located in a lonely part of the county, among the appliances being a melting ladle and a copper-engraved mold. Died From Ills Wounds. A dispatch from Minneapolis states that Joseph Anderson, who was shot on Wednes day by G. P. Buchan, said to be of Pitts burg, during a quarrel over Anderson's wife, died yesterday. Anderson made a dy ing statement, charging Buchan with being the aggressor. The dispatch further says Buchan is a Pittsburger, but he is not known here. Letter from the World-Renowned Composer and Pianist. Dr. Frnnz Liszt, FntberJn Lnvr and Tencber of Hans Von Itulow.

Dr. Robert Sommers Marshall, of Al legheny, Commits Suicide by A SHOT THROUGH THE TEMPLE. His Body Found in a Field on a Farm on Perrysville ATenue. ILL HEALTH IS THE CAUSE ASSIGNED Dr. Bobert Sommers Marshall, of 188 Buena Vista street, Allegheny, w?s found dead near the St Charles street tollgate about 5 o'clock last evening. Mr. A. G. Duncan, with his friend, Mr. Parke, was passing the Elliott farm, on their way to an oil well in which they are interested out Perrysville avenue, when their attention was called to the prostrate body ot Dr. Mar shall. An empty revolver lav by his side, and a wound in the right temple indicated the passage of the bullet The Chief of Police was immediately notified, and the body was taken by the patrol wagon to Herman & Ebbert's un dertaking establishment, where it lay until 11 o'clock, when it was removed to the beautiful residence that Dr. Marshall had but recently taken at the top of the hill on Buena Vista street As to the cause of the suicide nothing can be stated with absolute cettainty. Dr. Marshall's friends state that he bad been in ill health for three or four years, and that he must have taken his life in a fit of temporary derangement. WHAT THE POLICE FOUND. The police officials say that among the effects handed over to them was a packaee of powder, resemblinc morphine or cocaine. This, with a few letters, $6 25 in money, a bunch of keys aud a box of cartridges, was all that was found on the person of the de ceased. Dr. Marshall left his home about noon, seeming to be in his usual spirits. His family became alarmed at his long absence, and had really instituted a search for him. before the sad news of the suicide had reached them from Chief of Police Murphy. The Coroner's inquest will be held this morning. The deceased was 43 years of age, a son of Mr. Bobert H. Marshall, of No. 43 North avenue, Allegheny; he graduated at West ern University, Allegheny, and subse quently in medical colleges in Vienna and Paris. Twelve years ago he was married to Miss Dora Barlow, of Dublin, Ireland. He leaves four little childien. He lived for a time on Market street, Allegheny. In late years he has not practiced medicine. Dr. Jones, of the Fifth Avenue Methodist Church, of this city, will probably officiate at the funeral. HIS PERSONAL APPEARANCE. Dr. Marshall was a fine looking man, although in late years, he had grown tbin and emaciated. His Iriends state that he had given himself up entirely to study, aud he certainly led a retired life, as few of bis neighbors in Buena Vista street knew him or knew that he was a physician. The ele gant residence bore no sign of his profes sion. His father was seen last night, but was too much broken down to talk over the sad event. He had been much worried over his son's fast failing health. The deceased was an only son and all that could be done for him was done. He had been to Europo several times; sometimes staying a year or two. No particular cause had been assigned for his illness further than a general breaking down of nervous strength. APHIUBBD.

Why the Seventeenth Ward Peaplo Ask far the Lnvrroncevllle Library. The committee of residents of the Seven teenth ward having in charge the collection of Information to be piesented to Andrew Carnegie to induce him to locate the Law renceville branch library in that ward, held a meeting in the Lincoln Club rooms last evening. Theywere in session about three hours, and drew up a lengthy document setting forth their reasons. It states that the Seventeenth ward is the center of population in Lawrenceville, and that closely connected with it are the boroughs of Millvale.Sbarpsburg and Etna, on the north side of the Allegheny river. No particular site is suggested, but Mr. Carnegie is requested to select one of the eight squares between the Arsenal and the Allegheny Ceme tery gate, on Butler street The members say that a desirable location can be secured at almost any point along there. They sug gest that the boroughs named will soon be annexed to the city, and remind Mr. Car negie that the Allegheny and St. Mary's cemeteries, the Arsenal Park, which the committee say will positively be, and the new Shoenberger Hospital will attract a large number of people to the Seventeenth ward, and that it remains with him to donate the crowning attraction of them all. The popu lation, number ot children attending the public and parochial schools, etc., are also given.

Jail Warden Berlin Gives Some Interesting Figures on tbe Sabect- Jail Warden Berlin thinks crime is in creasing in Allegheny county at a greater rate than the population. In 1887 the jail received G,319 prisoners, in 1888, 5,849 and in 1889, 7007 prisoners. A parti&I explana tion for the increase in 1889 is given in the County Controller's Office. Last year a crusade was made against train jumpers, on the railroads running out of the city, and the offenders were generally sentenced to (ail for from three to five days. The constables received $1 from the county for each prisoner delivered at the jail, and some 30 or 40 such cases occurred each 'month. Finally, County Solicitor Geyer decided that the county was not liable for this fee, and the Controller refused to pay it, where upon the commitments for train jumping fell off. All lovers of the delicacies oi the table use Angostura Bitters to secure a good di gestion. JDS. HORNE k CEL'H PENN AVE. STORES. PrnflBUBO, Saturday, April 28, 1890.
