JUDGE EWIKG OFF FOR A VACATION
This morning 228 new saloons will open
their doors in the city of Pittsburg. Of the
93 who have held licenses during the past
year, 11 have fallen by the wayside, two on
account ot the death of the proprietors be
tween the time of filing applications and the
day of hearing. These two were Hugh
Fester, of the Tenth ward, and Terence
Murphy, of the Twenty-eighth ward. Appli
cations were made to have their widows sub
stituted, but the Court relused to do so,
holding that the law did not warrant it Of
the nine licensed saloonkeepers who closed
their doors at midnight, lonr were in the
Pirst ward, John K. Durr, George S.
Fallon, Patriot McDonough and John Nee.
P. C. Duffy and George C. Pitfield were re
fused in the Fifth ward, John T. Farmerie
and Frank Klein in the Ninth, Schusler &
Pool in the Ninteenth.
The First ward has 11 new saloons, the
Second 12, the Third 14, the Fourth and
Fifth 5 each. The total number of saloons
in the First, Second, Third, Fourth and
Ninth wards, the down town wards, is 98,
more than there were in the whole city dur
ing the 12 months just closed.
A DAT OP -ACTIVITT.
Yesterday was a day of great activity
about the new places. Nearly all are ready
for patronage this morning. There are, how
ever, a few exceptions. The greatest live
liness was observed on the Diamond, around
the market That place is almost wholly
given over to saloons and wholesale liquor
stores. The Diamond was thronged with
wagons, from which men were unloading
barrels of liquor, kegs of beer, bar fixtures
and ice.
The house at the corner of Market street
and the Diamond, Nos. 1 and 2 on the
Diamond .quare, is occupied by JoseDh
Fleming & Co., wholesale dealers in liquor.
Next door is Goettman 's restaurant. No. 3
entering the dining room and No. 4 being
the new bar. Yesterday the cellar was
filled with barrels of spirituous and malt
liquors. Next door. No. 5, is the wholesale
liquor house of E. Klinordlinger. Turning
the corner along the east side, No. 7 is occu
pied by the wholesale liquor store of Otto
Frey, and No. 10 by the store of Frank
Bonistalli. No. 11 is Fred Speier's new
saloon. The barroom is rather small. No.
12, on the corner of Diamond street, is the
wholesale liquor house of Otto Schmitt.
No. 17 is occupied by the restaurant and
new Isaloon of George Dimling, the "Mar
Jiet Exchange." The barroom was in order
Yesterday. Its decorations and appoint
ments are eall first-class, and doorway
and window are all decorated with plants
and evergreens. The second door north, on
Master's alley, is John Eichleay's Black
Pear saloon, and the second door from that
is Billy Wright's bar, both old places.
OLD PLACES BEIGIIT AGAIX.
In a small house at No. 7 Union street is
William H. Jacob's saloon, which is all
painted and ready for business. A lew doors
south is Johnny St roups' bi; and splendid
bnrroom, at No. 25 Diamond square. No.
2C is Roth's restaurant, a celebrated saloon
in 18S8, which reopens this morning. Ihe
license is held by Edwin W. Porter. No.
28 is the Hotel Heck, where Harry Heck
has retailed liquor for several years. Across
the street. Nos. 29 and 30, are the store
rooms of the Philip Hamburger Company, a
large liqnor house. Nos. 31, 32 and 33 are
occupied by Boley's Hotel. The bar, which
Las been closed lor a year, is at No. 3L It
Mas been remodeled and decorated.
No. 34 is the new saloon and res
taurant of Frank D. Larkin, a younger
brother to the recent Democratic postmaster.
John Heck applied for a license at the same
number, but withdrew while the court was
sitting. Larkin and Heck seem to have
joined forces, as Mr. Heck was about the
place yesterday assisting in the work of fix
ing up. The bar is a pretty, commodious
room. In the rear is a very large and light
dining room, three steps higher than the
barroom A hallway reaches this room so
that it will not he necessary to pass through
the saloon.
At right angles to Larkin's place, No. 35
Diamond, is the entrance to the saloon of
Peter Kolbecker. The bar is long, wide and
high, and bright with new paint and wall
paper. The bar counter is high and long.
This completes the list of the 18 liquor stores
immediately around the market
THEEE IS A BOW.
Another place where there will be a big
increase in drinking iacilities is the block
of Diamond street between Wood and Smith
field streets. Bihlman's sons have had the
" only saloon there during the past year. Now
there are three in a row on the opposite side
of the street, Bardele Gallisaith, the old
soldier, at No. 48 Diamond; Wolfgang Mil
ler's "Znr Blauen Donan." "On the Blue
Danube," at No, 50, and Michael Frey, at
Nos. 60 and C2. As no extra licences were
granted on Fitth avenue from its lower end
to Smithficld street, the court probably in
tended to divert some of the saloon business
from that retail thoroughfare to Diamond
street
The thirsty denizens of the Point are in a
hard way. Fallon and McDonough on Penn
avenue, near Water street, and John Nee,
two blocks further up on Penn, are all
closed. They sold 10-cent whisky, and it is
reported that Martin Logan, the old gentle
man who will succeed them at the corner of
Penn and Water, intends to charge 15 cents
for a drink. This is a sad blow, and is caus
ing a flurry of gossip in the Schenley settle
ment about the Old Fort The scalps of
Nee, Fallon, McDonough, Delaney, Hazel,
Cavanaugh and others are carefully hung
up to dry in Alderman Cassidy's rear room.
EIGHTEEN ON SMITHFIELD STKEET.
During the past year there were seven
saloons on Smithfield street from one end to
the other. To-dav there are 18. In the Fifth
ward Duffy and Pitfield closed at midnight
The testimony in court showed that both
places were frequented by the roughest class
of men. These people are bound to go some
where, and the men who get Duffy's and
PitGeld's trade will probably h"e a hard
time a vearJ,o;v, Durv at the corner of
MVSreifstreet and fourth avenue, was
knocked out because his corner was said to
be a resort for loafers and his bar was fre
qnented by toughs and topers. These people
will now drift to some other point and will
most likely flock around Charlie Stevens
new place,' at the corner ot Market and
Second. Charlie declares that he will not
tolerate them, but he will have a big job on
his hands. He reopens Tom Godfrey's old
stand. Tom was refused a license a year
ago, but it is alleged that he failed to
retire from the liquor business on May L
He kept his place open for several months,
but when he learned that an information
had been duly drawn up charging him with
the selling of whisky on Sunday, it is said,
he found it convenient to take a trip to an
other State. In some way the afiair has
been settled. It is common talk in the First
ward that the settlement cost God frey 51,100.
At any rate, he returned to the city about a
fortnight since, and has been very active in
a quiet way.
XHEIB OCCUPATION GONE.
Several police officers will be thrown out
"Mr-wiu-w .rk &&a&b&tim&j3k
of employment by the action of the court in
refusing to license saloons where they were
engaged to prevent disorder. Inspector Mc
Aleese says he had received no applications
for special officers from the proprietors of
newly-licensed saloons, and does not expect
any, because the increased number of sa
loons will divide up the business and pre
vent overcrowding and disorder.
Attorneys say that appeals to the Supreme
Court will be taken in a number of the
wholesale cases. Most of the men rejected
Bhowed themselves unworthy of licenses,
under the law, having been guilty of fre
quent violations of law as saloon keepers.
This year each case will have to be appealed
separately, There can De no omnibus bin,
as one year agoi Judge Magee is ready to
furnish the record for an appeal wherever
one is wanted. Tomer, Petermau & Co.,
who have built a distillery at Turtle Creefc,
and the wholesale applicants from Verona
are among those who will appeal. The
Judges evidently decided not to allow John
E. Snyder, or Forward township, any chance
to appeal his case. In refusing him a li
cense the following written statement was
made.
A BOAST ON SNTDEK.
"The location is in a rural district, devoid
of police protection. It is, moreover, one of
10 to 15 houses at the end of
the bridge across the Monongahela
river from Monongahela City.in Washing
ton county, which, with the adjoining town
ship in the same county and Jefferson and
Elizabeth townships in Allegheny county,
are prohibitory districts. The absence of
police protection or intervention and the
granting of license without restriction has
made the locality noted in the criminal
courts as one of the worst in Western Penn
sylvania, outrages and crimes, arising from
the sale of liquor without regard to age or
condition, being of 'requent occurrence.
Prior and up -Mo May, 1888, the appli
cant was one of several keepers of
low, disreputable, disorderly saloons in
close proximity. In 1883 all applications
for license were refused, including the ap
plication of Mr. Snyder. On the hearing in
1889 the Judge presiding, deemed him
eutirely unfit to receive a license. But after
decision of the Pollard case from this
county it was claimed and conceded (we
now think erroneously), that under the de
cision of the SupremeCourt the court below
had no discretion, but was bound to grant
every application lor a wholesale license,
unless a formal remonstrance had been filed,
and Mi. Snyder's license, which had been
refused, was marked 'granted.' "
The rest ot the opinion relates solely to
Mr. Snyder's application. It declares the
place unfit lor a wholesale license, says no
one who ranted to conduct a decent busi
ness would ask for a wholesale license there,
asserts that Snjder his maintained a
nuisance without regard to the rights ot
others or the proprieties of life, andcon
cludes by stating that, instead of being a
man of good, he is ot bad, moral character.
LONNT LONG KEPT BUST.
Yesterday was an extremely busy day in
the offices of the Clerk of Courts and the
County Treasurer. Applicants who were on
the lucky lists, in many cases accompanied
by their attorneys, crowded the offices.
Jndge Magee spent the day in the Clerk's
inner room, examining saloon bonds, and he
was surrounded by lawyers every minute of
the time. The licenses were taken out as
rapidly as the urbane Leon Long could fill
the blanks with specimens of his Spencerian
chirography. The rejecting of a good many
of the bonds caused the applicants to hustle
after new ones. All retail and wholesale
licenses in Pittsburg and Allegheny have
now been paid lor. Judge Magee will con
tinue his examination of bonds to-day.
Judge Ewing left last nieht for
Philadelphia and Atlantic City, to
recuperate on salt sea air. The
Judge, before leaving, said he was glad
to get away, and he was prepared to brain
the first mau in Philadelphia who broached
the subject of license to him. He will re
turn to the city Saturday a week. While
he was glad his siege was over, and tie much
prefers always to be relieved, still he was
not quite ready to indorse the plan of turn
ing the granting of licenses over to a com
mission. The Jndge referred to Hucken
stcin's case, which was held, as he said, tor
certain irregularities, and he remarked sig
nificantly that his friends did not press him
for a decision.
Judge Ewing expects to visit a number of
places before he returns. Among them are
New York, Washington and Bethlehem.

Enst-Bonnd Iron Rates Have Been Reduced
Abont 20 Per Cent.
The Pittsburg Committee of Freight
Agents met at the Lake Shore office yester
day and reduced the east-bound iron rates.
The reduction will average nearly 20 per
cent, and will go into effect Monday, May
5. It was done because a similar reduction
had been made west, and rates are always
equalized in the Trunk line and Central
Traffic Associations territory. The iron
business is depressed at present, and the
railroads realize this. Navigation also had
much to do in accomplishing the cut
The new rates to New York will be in less

UPON A THEEE-CENT BASIS.
Wonld-Be Census Enumerators Terr Scnrce
in Ifao Country Districts.
Applications for positions as census
enumerators were being filed more rapidly
yesterday than heretofore at the office of
Census Supervisor Oliver, The compensa
tion of 2 cents a name does not seem to offer
a strong inducement in the country districts,
where the inhabitants are scattered, and Mr.
Oliver is studying the advisability of asking
permission from Superintendent of Census
Porter to pay in such districts the maximum
rate of 3 cents a name.
One application from a rural district yes
terday contained the proviso that the posi
tion of enumerator would only be accepted
upon a 3-cent basis.

AXHAKERS PLEASED BY THE TEUST
The controversy between the railway com
panies and their employes, which has been
in progress for more than two weeks, was
settled last evening by the Supreme Council
of the Federation accepting the propositions
of the companies. The council was in ses
sion all day hearing the reports of the com
mittee which had waited on the officials! of
the Pennsylvania Company. This commit
tee had met the Executive Board of the
company, and went over the figures offered
the men. They agreed that the wages offered
the conductors were acceptable, but the men
asked that the wages offered the brakemen
be increased from $2 16 and $2 23 to $2 40
and 52 52 for day and night work respect
ively. These rates were considered by the board
and they notified the men that the original
proposition contained all the concessions
they could make. This decision was reported
back to the supreme council.
A CBITICAL MOMENT.
It remained for that body to decide what
should be done by the switchmen. The
council took every possible result of such a
move into consideration. Business would
he hurt The shipping interests, would be
interfered with. Hundreds of men would be
thrown idle, and the repetition of such times
as were experienced in 1877 would be made
possible. When the vote was taken the
company's proposition was unanimously
ratified.
President Sergeant said last night: "You
can simply say that the propositions of the
companies have been accepted, and there
will be no strike not even any excitement.
But I will say that if it had not been lor the
supreme council your roads would have
been tied np long ago."
A GENERAL MEETING TO-NIGHT.
Mr. Sergeant will leave the city this
morning, but the other members of the coun
cil will remain over to-night to attend a
general meeting of railway employes to be
held at No. 101 Fifth avenue. The members
of the council will explain to the men why
the terms were accepted, and as Mr. Ser
geant.put it "give them some good advice."
The wages secured by the men is a con
siderable advance over their former pay.
They have secured an increase of from 12 to
70 cents a day.
The decision of the supreme council was
reached too late to see any of the railway
officials, but it is likely that the new rates
will go into effect to-day, as some of the
roads had already notified their men to that
effect

Ice Drivers Talk of Sinning n Co-Operatlve
Manufacturing Plant.
The officers of L. A. 7482, K. ol L., com
posed ot ice drivers, helpers and tenders,
surrendered their charter yesterday, and ex
pressed their intention of going into the
American Federation of Labor. At the last
report the assembly had 27 members. John
E. O'&hea, who surrendered the charter,
said it was the intention to erect a large ice
house or ice manufacturing plant, to be
operated by the organization on the co
operative plan.
Master Workman Evans said yesterday
he did not thins: the new enterprise would
be a big success owing to the lack of finan
cial backing. "The resolution," he said:
"by which L. A. 7482 decided to go into the
Federation was passed previous to the last
meeting of D. A. 3, consequently the mem
bers were no longer members of the Knights
of Labor. Yet Mr. O'Shea attended the
meeting as a delegate, and raised a disturb
ance in the convention, because he could
not control an election. He was not a dele
gate in January when he was a candidate
lor District Master Workman. The resolu
tions which he presented at the last meeting
of the district asking lor the resignation
of the officers, and which he said had been
indorsed by his assembly, had never been
read in his assembly."

Promises Well for the Iron Trade.
B. .H. Lewis, of New York, formerly
President of the Calumet Iron Works, spent
the day at the Duquesne Hotel yesterday.
He is still in the iron business. Mr. Lewis
is one ot those who is not discouraged with
the breaks in the pig iron and steel markets.
He still insists that there will be a big re
vival before fall, and that next year will be
a great one in the iron business. Pig iron
seems to be hopelessly in the soup at pres
ent, but for all that large quantities are
being made.
TINNERS STEIEE FOB MORE WAGES.
Dlannfactnrers Determined That the De
mands Shall Not be Granted.
Abont 300 tin, sheet iron and cornice
workers employed in the city went out on a
strike last evening because the manufact
urers refused to grant the demands of the
men. The difficulty, according to the state
ment of Mr. Dinger, of Basncr & Dinger, is
over the wages of apprentices.
The minimum wages are $2 25, but the
union proposes to make them $2 50. The
employers say the demands will not be
granted. They object to the wages asked
for, as it would place the incompetent work
men on a level with the skilled workers.

The regular monthly meeting of the

in the Westinglionse building yesterday.
First "Vice-President George T. Lane, of
Troy, stated that nothing of importance was
transacted. The association is a private
corporation, and they simply attended to
the necessary business. The combination
is working nicely, and so far all the mem
bers are satisfied.
The trade has been off for sometime, and
the manufacturers under the distribntiou of
orders haven't been getting as many as
under the old grab system, but they ex
pected that under the trust the dealers are
learning to buy close. They don't order
large quantities away ahead and then only
take half. They are beginning to buy just
what they need, and this is advantageous to
the makers. No change was made in prices.
STEEL SHAPE MANUFACTUEERS.
The Outlook for Their Business Depends on
the Crops.
The Steel Shape Manufacturers' Associa
tion is holding one of its regular business
sessions at the Anderson Hotel. They will
meet again to-day. Most of the manufactur
ers come from the South, Ohio and Pittsburg.
The condition of the steel market is such
that prices are more likely to go down than
up. The dull season is ahead of the plow
men. The sales for the year have been very
good, and the outlook depends altogether on
the crops. If the yield is large it puts the
larmers in a happy mood, and they want to
buv new agricultural machinery. But it is
a little early to tell anything abont them, so
that the manufacturers were a little wary
about talking. Mr. Elias Harman, of At
lanta, said that if the cotton crop was fair
there would be a good demand lor cotton
gins, etc Prices were not touched
doubtless won't be.

It is Not Good Policy to Walk oa the Auto

The danger of automatic railroad switches
is pretty well understood by residents of
Wilkmsburg. Said a gentleman of that
town to a Dispatch reporter last night:
"Switches worked from a signal box at some
distance are a convenience of course, but it a
person is crossing the tracks just
when a switch is being thrown over, he must
watch his footsteps if he wants to escape a
horrible death. I was crossing the tracks
at the station the other night, when the
switch was worked for the 10:30 Wilkins
bnrg accommodation. My foot was actu
ally upon the rails when they flew together
with a crash. Had my foot been along the
rails instead of across them I would have
been caught. It was dark and the switch
man in his signal box could not have seen
me, nor were any other employes ofthe rail
road around.. In a few minutes the train
came thundering down in the darkness.
When I think of what might happen there
at any time, I wonder whether automatic
switches are a success after all."

mass of stupidity found in deeds, mortgages,
etc., such as "all the right, title, interest and
claim of, in and to of John Smith to cer
tain," etc, and get down to nineteenth
century solid business sense. A report is to
be made by a committee at the meeting of
the association on Saturday.
An idea of the importance of the work
will be had by considering that the county
records are now encumbered by a carload of
useless paper covered by verbiage.
CUMBEESOMK VOLUMES IN THE WAT.
The paper cannot even be sent to the mill
to be ground over, as the records are of im
portance, aud a vast amount of room is
necessary to store them. They cannot be
dumped into a vault, for they are necessary
to consult daily, and the number of racks
necessary to contain them suggests that
owing to the number ot financial operations
nowadays, and the probability that they
will continue to grow, the entire Court
House will be necessary to hold them he
fore the end of another half century. This
verbiage is also an expensive relic of the
olden time, as an army of transcribers
is necessary to keep the records
in shape. It is also necessary
to retranscribe them at least
once in a century, unless better paper and
indelible ink be used. A considerable num
ber of copyists have been at work for months
rewriting the records made previous to A.
D. 1800. When it is understood that the
records of several years after the borough of
Pittsburg was incorporated were contained
in a single book, and that at present the
record of a single day's transfers and mort
gages might fill a volume, the importance of
brevity will be understood at a glance.
THE OBEED OP CONVEYANCERS.
It is not the work of writing a deed of
which lawyers complain, for that is a small
matter merely the filling out 6f blanks
but nearly all "of the members ot the profes
sion are netting tired of perpetuating a cus
tom that grew originally out of the greed of
conveyancers. At one time in England
conveyancing was a separate department of
law, and the scriveners were paid
by the word or line for their work.
Nowadays, however, lawyers charge a fixed
fee, and get as much for filling out a ten
line instrument as they do for one of 1,000
lines. In some of the Western States an en
tire deed is scarcely as long as the granting
clause in one ofthe Pennsylvania variety.
While good lawyers generally may ad
mit that there should be a reform in this
matter, there are some who would make the
change very carefully and for good reason.
This view is set forth by Judge Fetterman
and J. L. Black. It is that there has been
so much litigation dnring centuries, that
not only every phrase, but word and even
syllable has been settled by judicial ruling,
and if the form be followed and the grantor
be competent to grant, even the gates of
perdition cannot prevail against the convey
ance. Judge Fetterman suggests that if
the change is to be made, that a test case
should begotten u,p and have the Supreme
Court pass on it'

Mr. HcMullen, one of the members of the

"Owing to the continued rise in railway

is over. The firm has closed all open con

say that they will meet all obligations, and

AH ELOPEMENT IN SIGHT.
Mrs. Bollnskv Afraid That Iler, Ilu.band
Is Looking tor Their lady Boarder.
A complaintwas made at the office of the
Humane Society yesterday afternoon that
a man named Bolinsky, of No. 17 Webster
avenue, had deserted his wife and two small
children, leaving them in destitute circum
stances. An elopement is not among the
improbabilities in the case.
Mrs. Bolinsky, the deserted wife, states
that some time ago her husband intro
duced a new member of the household in
the shape of a lady boarder, against whose
presence she made a decided objection.
Neither the boarder or Bolinsky paid the
slightest attention to her protests. About
ten days ago the lady boarder left the bouse
to go to New York. " After her departure
there were frequent quarrels between the
husband and wife. A. couple of days a go
Bolinsky left home and has not since been
seen or heard of by any of his friends, and
Mrs. Bolinsky is positive that he has also
gone to New York to join his former
boarder.
SHAEPSBUEG BESIDENTS UP IK ABMS.
They May Go Into Court to Flfjbt the
Citizens' Traction Company.
The proposed extension of an electric line
by the Citizens' Traction Company to
Sharpsburg, is meeting with considerable
opposition among many of the citizens of
that borough. The town council granted
the right of way over Main and Middle
streets for a single track on each. Resi
dents along the latter thoronghfare are
highly incensed.
They are preparing a petition to Council
to have both tracks placed on Main street.
If Conncil refuse to accede to their wishes
they will carry the matter to court. They
claim the single track on both streets is to
keep a projected branch of the Pleasant
Valley road out of town, as the ordinance
gave the only two streets available to the
Citizens' Company.

That New York Plate Glass Pool Won't be
Formed for Yet Awhile.
The conference of the New York dealers
with the plate glass manufacturers at the

reason that not enough middle men ap
peared. Mr. Sieberling said the notice was
too short, and the meeting was declared off.
No time was fixed for another conference,
but it is not probable that the New Yorkers
will leave the matter drop.
While here the manufacturers took ad
vantage of the opportnnity to discuss trade
matters. Nothing was done with the prices.
