Vi wr&m THE " TITTSBURGv DISPATCH, -SUNDAY, l -AMA3T-r- 1890, -wjja? 3t 4 ff , WITHOUT A WARNING An Iron-Worker on the Government Building is Dashed to Death, FALLING FKOM THE FIFTH FLOOR. A Fellow-Workman Escapes a Like Fate, Almost Miracnlouslj. SIXGULAR CONFLICT OF AUTHOEHT At about 2:30 r it. yesterday an accident occurred at the new Government buildings, on Smithfield street, by which Thomas Carer, an iron worker, lost his life, and an other workman was injured. Different ac counts are given of the occurrence, but the following, which is that of Superintendent JIalone, seems the most probable: The statue of Justice was being hoisted into position at the Fourth avenue and s' Cherry alley corner of the building, when the derrick mast broke in the middle and falling over, carried off a portion of the stone dormer and snapped a thick boom clean across. Carey was standing on the coping of the fifth floor, and was knocked down by a portion of the derrick. Rising, dazed and terribly scared, he V. leaped or ran about 18 feet, to a lower plat form, and thence fell through a defective piece nf boarding to the cellar, a distance of over 100 feet. The fall occurred through the interior of the building. When the body was picked up, two minutes later, life W3S extinct. James Briston was also hit by the mast, badly gashed over the head, and bruised about the arm and breast. He was attended to by one of the Homeopathic Hospital sur geons, and carried to his home on Thirty fifth street, while the remains of Thomas Carey were removed to the morgue. Sev eral other workmen were slightly injured by falling splinters. Carey was 30 years ol age, single, and re sided on Second avenue. He had been em ployed about two weeks on the building, and was unknown to the greater part of the laborers. THOUGHT THE TIMBER SOUHD. I "The accident," said Jlr. llalone, "was one that could not have been foreseen or prevented by human skill. The broken derrick-mast must, of course, have been de fective, but to all outward appearances it was perfectly sound. It had been six years in use, and I had intended to have it re moved, as I thought it not improbable that age ana long service haa injured it. lint 1 , never imagined it was so far gone as to break across like that. We have been always cautions here; the Government has even been down on us for over-cautious." Mr. JIalone then went on to give the his tory of the boom which had been broken, and of which pieces were taken away by bystanders. "Yes, it is very rotten" he said; "I had it removed from the top of the building because it was dangerous. We then put it in use for lifting stone at this side." - "Then you lifted big blocks of stone with an admittedly dangerous and rotten boom?" cried an astonished interviewer. Mr. Malone shrugged his shoulders, hut said nothing. Immediately after the accident occurred Mr. Malone sent a telegram to the authori ties at Washington, giving his version of the accident. He then gave orders to clear the building of all reporters and others. Deputy Coroner Berry happened to be in specting the rotten boom when the Superin tendent came upon the scene and ordered him off the premises. Mr. Berry presented his card, and remarked that his duty was to collect all evidence of defective timbers, etc, which might subsequently be destroyed. Mr. Malone denied in vigorous language the Deputy Coroner's right to examine the der k rick and boom. With the help of several stalwart work men Mr. Berry and Grant Miller, Coroner's Clert, were forced to retire to the Superin tendent's office. There a "scene" occurred. Mr. Malone declared that he represented the Government in that place and that the Dei uty Coroner was an interloper. Messrs. Berry and Miller protested against the in dignity to which they had been treated. "Go for a policeman," cried Mr. Malone, "I'll have this man arrested." BECKONED -WITHOUT HIS HOST. Bnt Mr. Malone reckoned without his host. Jhe policeman arrived, and taking in the scene at a glance, refused point blank to arrest the Deputy Coroner. As a matter of fact, he had no power to make anv such arrest, Mr. Berry being quite within his rights. "Do you know, sir," said Mr. Berry to Mr. Malone, "that although you can't order me under arrest, I can command this officer to arrest you. Head the subpoenas, Mil ler." There was dead silence while Mr. Miller, with a sa-donic smile, obeyed. Then the Deputy Coroner, his clerk and the reporters departed with colors flying. Mr. Berry viewed Thomas Carey's re mains in the evening, and the inquest has been fixed for to-morrow afternoon. To the building itself no important dam age was done, beyond the breaking off of one of the dormers. This can easily be re placed. The statue of Justice had only been raised 18 feet when it fell, and is un- injured. 2fone of the other derricks were broken or displaced, and all loose timbers k v were carefully secured before the close of "y work yesterday evening. J.o-morrow, Air. Malone declares, he will summon before him every man employed upon the Cherry alley side of the building, in order to get all the information possible for the Coroner's assistance. When the broken mast fell across the Second avenue lines of telegraph and street railway wires, the wires began to spit flame, and for some moments the passers-by were quite panic-stricken, but when the mast was removed the flashing along the wires ceased. A number or telephones were burned out B. & 0. IMPROVEMENTS. The Rand Will Pal an Four Ve.itbnled Train Between Bnttlmore And Pi tub arc A Very Deilrnble Innormtlon Road, nt Work on tbe Bummer Schedule The new summer schedules on the various railroads will go into effect May 11. The chief clerks of the lines are now at work arranging the trains. The is. is U. promises something in the way of improvement that will surprise their competitors and please the public For a long time the road has been running yestibuled trains on the main line without any extra charge. The cars are made at the B. & O. shops, and are as fine as any Pullman car built There is a porter for each car, "and the seats are ar ranged as in the common coaches' General Passenger Agent C. O. Scull has always recognized the importance of this city as a passenger center, and he has al ways advocated running yestibuled trains between Baltimore and Pittsburg. Vice Presidents King and Ford have always op posed the plan, but up to this time money was the one thing needful, and that was lacking. This year the company has so far recovered its old financial standing that some attention will be paid to the Pittsburg division, and such yestibuled trains will be run. There will be four trains, two each way, between Baltimore and Pittsburg. The train leaving here in the morning in addition will carry a Pullman parlor car. This train in the past used to connect at Cumberland with a train on the main line, but under the new schedule it will run through solid to Baltimore, making that city by 6:50 in the evening, tbe scheduled time for Washington now. Division Pas senger Agent Smith says the road can easily cover the ground, bnt it will be mighty fast running. Much time is now lost on the Cumberland division on account of the movement of freights, but this will be avoided in the future. The night express to Baltimore will be run as usual. On the Western divisions some important changes will also be made The night ex press will leave here at 7:45 instead or 7:30. A train will be run through solid to Cincin nati with a parlor car attached in the morn ing. On the Pennsylvania road, with the change in schedule, a number of fast local trains will be nut on, or rather the present trains will make fewer stops. This move is intended to head off the cable roads, and give the people of Bast Liberty and points beyond better passenger facilities. Just how many of the trians will be made faster, those in charge have not yet decided. The clerks are busy looking over the time, and will fit in the fast trains to accommodate the most people The Baltimore and Ohio yestibuled cars are being made and will be put on the road as soon as finished. ASKING JM $5,-000. William Mojle Brings Snit Against Attorney William M. Price FOE A LETTER HE HAS OBTAINED, And Which Doesn't at All Flatter Movie, to Say tho Least. Mr. A BAKER'S D0ZKN MYOKCKS GRANTED PRIDE TAKES A TUMBLE. An Accident That Befell a Lndj'e Spring Bonnet A Lean Gray Hone That Couldn't Discriminate Belvreen the Heal and tbe Artificial. It was, in sooth, a remarkable bonnet; and as its buxom owner minced along Smithfield street, yesterday afternoon, her glaring headgear was the cynosure of every eye She wore a big bundle of grasses and field flowers, with just a little strip of velvet to give an air of consistency to the whole. The grasses looked delightfully natural, and it seemed that even the dusty city air had been unable to rob them of their freshness. The lady appeared to be very proud of her bonnet, and smiled disdainfully at the more modest head-coverings she passed. At the Diamond street corner a few drops from a street sprinkler fell upon the grassas, and an old gentleman rapturously cried that the combination reminded him of country life. dewdrops and all the rest of it The lady wanted to cross Fourth avenue, but a street car stopped the way. According, she stood for a moment on the curb; while a lean, gray horse, hitched to the post just behind, gazed wistfully at the tempting herbage in her bonnet When the street car passed there was a sudden rush of people, and the lady of the bonnet was pushed against the hitching post Here was the lean horse's opportu nity, and with remarkable promptitud: he grasped it He also grasped that bundle of artificial grass for, alasl they were but artificial in his strong, yellow teeth, and before the luckless proprietor conld prevent it, had chewed up the whole concern, in cluding even the velvet binding. The lady shrieked, the htartlesa passers by laughed, and the owner of thejhorse was hastily summoned to the spot He ex plained to the now angry female his utter inability to resurrect that particular bonnet, but offered to conduct her to the nearest millinery store and there purchase another, which should have a whole prairie on top. After someparley the offer was accepted, and the pair hurried off, the lady's head, hum bly covered by a white handKerchief. Thn was the pride of the bonnet-owning dame severely "punished, while the indiscreet equine which purloined herbage without first testing its reality, suffered, no doubt, the pangs of indigestion. Moral: Never wear real grass in your bonnet, and if yon must steal anything, be sure that it is genuine troods. William Moyle yesterday entered suit against Attorney W. M. Price for (5,000 damages. He alleges that Price wrote to parties with whom Moyle did business, libeling him and injuring him in his busi ness. Price, the plaintiff says, wanted to break down his character and business. And has deprived him of credit with the parties to whom the letters were written. He asked that a capias be issued for Price, and that bail in the sum of $2,000 be required. He attached a copy of the circular alleged to have been sent by Price to J. Kaufman & Bro., Douglas 8s Mackie and others. It reads as follows: JlAKCn 10. 1890. Dear Sir: After a desperate struggle against the basest perjury, vilest slander and vitupera tion from William Moyle I have succeeded in forcing bim to give up all his assets for the benefit of his creditors to his assignee, includ ing tbe assets held by E. E. Moyle as a blind to cheat you out of your money. The assignee will now proceed to collect them for distribu tion, and I bope soon to realize tbe judgment I bold for you. Do not permit Moyle to hood wink yon into any arrangement that does not mean a full settlement of your claim. Either leave the matter in my hands or employ other counsel if you prefer. 1 am flelitlnt: for vour claims, and wben c. cured finally, I will charge you for my services unless you get otber counsel. Moyle bas tried to rob me out of two years' work, and all I bad or could borrow for him, 1 compromised with certain of tbe creditors at about to cents on tbe dollar, which they accented by reason of cer. tain statements made by me to them, based on what Moyle tola me. I nowfind bis statements were false and bis assets a great deal more tban be led me to believe. I will return tbe releases I received from them, and endeavor to collect the balance dne them. I will not be re sponsible for his deception and bis lies. Unless yon notify me that you have employed other counsel, I will still go on with the fight in your behalf. I send this statement to show you that I am still on deck, fighting Moyle notwithstanding hfs slanders, and mean to stay there until I make an honest man out of him or get your money. Summarized acconnt of William M. Prfro trustee of William Moyle: Amount money paid out to day, $37,562 79; amount of money, goods, etc, received from and collected for Moyle $30,782 11; overpaid. $6,780 68. There are some further credits to go on the above, which will reduce it somewhat. Of the above sum about $5,612 of judgments have been sat isfied, and there is still $7,650 unpaid, but I be lieve most, if not all, will be secured. William M. Pbice. CAME OUT A'LITTLEAHEAD. The Americas dab- Banquet a Financial Saeceei Recommendation of Ibo Com mittee for Next Tear Good Work of the Press Rec.mm.ndnd. The regular meeting of the Amerlcus CInb was held last night Charles Baer presided. The report of the treasurer showed that there were $3,407 in the treas ury and $1,193 in the sinking fund, a total of $4,600 on hand, and all bills paid. Tbe report of the Banquet committee was received, and showed that 305 persons were present at the banquet, in cluding the speakers; 262 tickets were sold, making the receipts, at $8 each, $2,096. When the expenses were paid $1,840 were left The Baltimore and Ohio Bailroad Company furnished two cars free for trans portation of the guests, and the thanks of the club were tendered to Vice President T. M. King, General Psssenger Agent C. O, ocnii, and ticket agents w. x. .Da my, at Washington, and E. D. Smith, Pittsburg. It was requested that in the future the banquet committee be appointed in October, so the speakers can be seen before they make arrangements to go elsewhere. It was also recommended that the members be allowed to subscribe for tickets for the next banquet during this year, so that the committee, when appointed, will know what to act on. upon a basis of the present membership, 662 resident and 135 non-resident members, they calculated that at least 500 tickets for tne oanquet should be sold. If this was done the committee could secure a theater or large hall for the banquet, as any of the hotels would be too small, every bit of space having been occupied at the last banquet, and boxes could be provided for the lady friends of the speakers and members, and thus add to the appearance of the affair. Keferring to the exhaustive report of The Dispatch and the treatment of the banquet by the press generally, the committee said: "Your committee desire to thank the dailv papers for their exhaustive reports, which in themselves are evidence of the journal istic enterprise of pur great city,and the sev eral press associations who so fully covered the dinner in their reports wired throughout the country." When the report had been received and tbe committee thanked, a motion was made and adopted that tbe club attend the State Convention, to be held in Harrisburg, June 25, and a committee be appointed to make arrangements. Chairman Baer de ferred appointing the committee, leaving it to President Paul, who was absent last night on account of illness. IDA AMD HER fU6 DOG Accompany Depnly Sheriff W. W.

Judge White yesterday granted 13 divorces and refused 3. In the case of J. M. against Emma L. Hoaglin, the Court held that the wife's refusal to follow a roving carpenter was not a wilful desertion, and divorce was refused. Susan was re fused a divorce from Murray Barker be cause the evidence was insufficient and irregular. Judge White thought the at torneys had prepared the testimony and pre sented it to the commissioner simply for his signature. Divorce was refused in the suit ot .biizabetn against Henry Shafer, because the Court thought there was collusion. Divorces were granted in the following cases: J. E. against Lilian Fife, Lida J. against B. F. Crowe, Mary A. against Henry Hartman. Emma aga'inst William G.

Inexperienced organists and the absence .of any person qualified to explain the in tricate mechanical movements of the Car negie Hall organ have caused rumors to he circulated that the instrument was "played out." Nothing could be further from the truth. The organ is all right, and will be heard from regularly. At the next meeting of Allegheny Councils a resolution will be introduced, empowering the City Property Committee to throw open the hall and use the organ for free organ recitals at least once a week, presumably on Saturdays. The City Property Committee will then feel that it can go ahead and consider Mr. Ed win Lare's motion to engage a competent organist, wno win also be able to keep the organ in tune and order. The hearty indorsement given by the presence of the best people in Allegheny at the recitals already given has proved to' the satisfaction of both branches of Councils that the plan is a popular one, from which the best results in the educstion and amuse ment of the masses must come. Leading citizens have come forward and congratu lated President Hunter, of Common Coun cil, for his indorsement of the recitals plan, and the formation of a permanent music fund, ont of which assisting performers or organizations will be recompensed, is' now a uiBbLcr ui ccnainiy. Mrs. Ida Moran, the pretty clnb swinger and trapeze performer, charged with the murder of Palmer Bich, at Norwich, N. T., about two years ago, was taken to that town for trial yesterday evening, by Deputy Sheriff W. W. Brown, who had coma after her. Mrs. Moran was neatly attired in black, and looked none the worse for her few days' confinement in Central station. She walked cheerfully, arm-in-arm with the Sheriff, to the depot, followed by her little pug dog. Deputy SheriffBrown, in talking of the case, said it had lain dormant owing to the inactivity of the Sheriff who was in office at the time of the murder. When another Sheriff was elected he began an investiga tion of the matter, and as a resnlt the grand jury of Chenango county returned indict ments for murder against Mrs. Moran, or Ida Tncker, and Mrs. Fox. The latter, in whose house the murder is said to have taken nlace. wax rantnred At Carhnndale. Pa., where she was living with a man named Woods. The chief evidence against the women will be the testimony of several persons that they were told by Mrs. Fox that Bhe mur dered Bich by first drugging him and then strangling him jith a rope. Alter he was dead, the story goes, she cut the body into pieces and burned them. Mr. Brown is not at all confident of Mrs. Moran's gnilt. He says -the murder might have been committed'without her knowl edge. He states that early in the morning after Rich's disappearance Mrs. Fox picked a quarrel with Mrs. Moran, which caused the latter to leave the house. The Sheriff thinks it probable that Mrs. Fox at that time had the body of Bich in her room, and wanted to get Mrs. Moran to leave, so she would not discover the crime. HE. M0BE0W SAYS ITS ILLEGAL. The Sheriff7 Depmlen Dcacend Wood street Hoaae. The Sheriff yesterday took charge of the hat store of William F. Graham, at No. 445 Wood street, a levy haying been made to satisfy a judgment note held by Wilson, Frank & Horner for $343 25. Other notes are on file in the Sheriff's office against Gra ham, hut execution has not been issued. One is for 5510, held by Charles J.'Follner, Louis S. Clegg, Theophilus Blatts, Jr., and James L. Brown. Another far 1121 56 is held by G. S. Guyer & Co., all aggregating less than $1,000. lo some people the failure was not a sur prise. Mr. Graham had financial trouble some years ago. He resumed, however, and subsequently added a fur department to the store, and, itis said, did not get sufficient trade to support it. A liquor license was applied for at No. 445. Colonel Samuel Kilgore was originally a partner with Mr. Graham, but he has not been connected with the house for several y?ars, and Graham's troubles began alter the dissolntion. KKW ADVXRTISEMENTS. PACTS, NOT FAIRY TALES Councils Cannot Appropriate Money for tile Scotch-Irish Convention. City Controller Morrow, in speaking of Colonel Echols' proposition to ask Councils for an appropriation to pay for the enter tainment of the Scotch-Irish delegates, said yesterday that such action would be illegal and could not be seriously entertained by Councils. Mr. Morrow says the prospects for the In ternational Sabbath School Convention, which meets in this city June 23, are good. The gentlemen interested are quietly at work raising funds, and expect to have sufficient funds to meet the necessities of the occasion. There are many Sabbath schools yet to be heard from, and when they respond the Financial Committee hopes to be in good shape. SniPLY A QUESTION OF LAW. M0BE DAMAGES DEMANDED. OTHEE WORK OX THE WIRES. The falling of the cable caused the drop ping of the heavy wire cable which ran from the derrick's top to a strong timber planted in Fourth avenue, east of Grant street The steel cable fell upon the many elec tric Iight,electric railway and telephone wires which lorm a network at the corner ol Grant and Fourth, and tore them from their fasten ings, crossing them, tangling them, break ing them, and mixing ibem in almost in extricable confusion. The insulating ma terial being torn from the heavily charged electnc-light wires in several places, the strong current was transferred to some of the telephone wires. At the corner of Diamond and Try streets two blocks away, a telephone wire had been loosed from the class insulator and lav upon the cross-arm. It seems that this wire was one of those which caught a strong electric light current. In two or three minutes the white smoke which curled up from the cross-arm burst into flame, and soon several cross-arms were blazing, as well as the pole. The fire drew a crowd. A ladder was brought, and a man carrying a bucket of rater climbed up the pole and put the fire out The heat had broken the wire, and the current was stopped. A BOY, A BAFT AND A BIVEB. An Old frtory Itrpentc.l by Ibe Drowning of Cbarlc 9Irncbke. Charles Meuschke, a 9-year-old son of Henry and Liebethe Meuschke, Bingham street and Diamond square, Southside, was drowned at about 4 o'clock yesterday.

Thirty thousand shares of the Cliartiers Natural Gas Company were voted "aye" on a proposition to reduce the capital stock from $4,000,000 to $3,000,000, and only two stocxnolders representing 60 shares of stock uplifted their ineffectual protest The Tot ting was commenced at 2 o'clock, and by 4:30 a majority had been cast in favor of the reduction.

Secretary Tener stated that the troublous times of a few weeks ago were not likely to be duplicated, the storm at that time haying cleared the atmosnbere nrettv thorontrhlv. He added that he was willing to hand out cigars on the strength of the occasion, but had no news to divulge. A Smokeatack of an Electric Light Com pany Blamed $5,000 Worth. W. J. Gilmore, Sarah Louisa Thompson, widow of J. W. Thompson, and Bessie Louise and John Thompson, heirs of D. C. Thompson, yesterday entered suit against the Allegheny County Light Company for 55,000 damages. The plaintiffs own property at the corner of Liberty street and Virgin alley, extending back 'to a ten-foot alley. This alley, they state, is a private one, but notwithstanding the light company has erected a large iron stack, projecting into the alley fronting the plaintiffs' property. The smoke and heat from the stack have inconvenienced plaintifis greatly and dam aged their property considerably, for which they ask 5,000 damages. Only One Point at Stake In the Verona Ap plicants' Appeal. Attorney John M. Hunter yesterday gave notice before Judge Magee in the Court of Quarter Sessions that he would appeal the cases ot Henry Berg and Daniel Bitter, two of the applicants for retail license in the borongh of Verona, and he asked for a copy of tbe record. The Judges stated, in connection with their refusal, that had they not decided that Verona was prohibotory they would have granted a retail license to Daniel Bitter and a wholesale license to Charles Silverman. The question to be decided is simply one of law. WDLL BUILD A NEW BBTDGE. The Sixth Street Structure to be Replaced by a Fine One. There has been within the last few days another change of front in the matter of building a new bridge over the Allegheny river by the Sixth Street Bridge Company. The bitter opposition to the plan by the Philadelphia contingent of stockholders was emphatic enough to secure a postponement of the decision upon the matter until the 20th of tbe present month, when avote will be taken by tbe stockholders. Other influences have been quietly exerted, how ever, and after a careful counting of noses the new. bridge advocates announce that a clear majority for theplan is assured. The plans submitted by Gustar Linden thai for the structure are being estimated upon, and it looks as if the chief pathway between the two cities would be made an enduring and ornamental affair. Phenomenal Grayrth In Fopalnrlty or tbe Everett Piano Factory Capacity to be Doubled. One would think that a piano lactory which turned out 80 finished pianos per week, would be almost enough to supply all America. Yet this has been the production of the Everett factory, and now we are noti fied that tbe company are at work on the foundations for another factory of equal capacity, and by the first of October will be making 160 pianos per week. Think of it, and ask why it is, that while other mak ers are struggling for existence, this com pany cannot supply the demand for their pianos. The rea'sons are simple. The fact is wax tne Everett Company are a rare com bination of money and brains. The present factory, while not the largest, is probably the best equipped and most systematically conducted one in the world, consequently they are able to make a first-class piano for less money thanf other makers. This being the case, it naturally follows that the wide awake dealers in the business all want the agency for the Everett piano. They are the foremost pianos of the day, and ample proof ot this can be found at the agency in this city, where you can get pianos of almost every other make, which have been taken in exchange for the Everett Alex. Ross, of 137 Federal street, Allegheny, has con tracted for 350 of these pianos, and while these last, has reduced the price 575 on all styles, so that you can now get one of the nnest pianos in the world at $350, in a rose wood case, or at $375 and $400 in any of the fancy styles of mahogany, antique oak, French walnut, etc. These are cash prices, but you can arrange to get one of these pianos on payments to suit your own con- -venience. Do not fail to see them, or send for circular, to Alex. Boss, 137 Federal st, Allegheny. ttsu Count With the Public. HELPING HOT ON HIS WAY.

He held a short conference with Manager McDonald of the Pittsburg and Western Division. Passenger Agent Smith said that they talked about some of the passenger arrangements with the latter line. It is not the intention to add any new trains. At one time it was proposed to run passen ger trains from the Baltimore and Ohio to ine -rittsburg and Western, over the Junc tion, but this place had been abandoned.

Mr. Samuel Bing yesterday denied that he had any interest in the wholesale liquor business of Adler & Mayer, at No. 7 Sixth street He says that he has bought the cigar and tobacco stock of those gentlemen, and for that reason occupies one half of their store. The packages consigned to his name contained, he said, boxes of cigars. Mr. Bing said that "there was nothing at all between him and his fellow ocenpants of the store, and even supposing he had an in terest in their businessrhe did not see how it could interest anyone but themselves."
