x " THE ITTTSBTJRG- DISPATCH, MONDAY. MAT 19. 1S90. DORASTEPLEIN HOI She Returns After Seeing the World for a Year, and IS SEEN AT HER MOTHER'S. All Eeports About Her Supposed Abduction Denied. SHE WOS'T TELL WHERE SHE WAS Dora Bteplein is home. This statement has often been made before, but when traced down it was found to be only a rnmor. The story or scries of stories, circnlated after her disappearance of her alleged abdnction and a number of al leged causes, and the dire Tengeance threat ened by her mother canscd the police of botb cities to be on the alert. Agent Dean, of the Anti-Cruelty Societr. has chased clews without end, but failed to discover her whereabouts, although he often thought he had seen her. She is at last found. Last night a Dis TATCn reporter not only saw Dora, but had a long talk with her at the home of her mother, in the Twenty-seTenth ward, on Birmingham arenui. The DisrATCK man called at the bouse and asked to see Dora. Mrs. Steplein came into the room and, recognizing the reporter, commenced gesticulating wildly, and saying she knew nothing about Dora. She disap peared into another room, and the reporter was left alone. Jnst as he was about to steD outside and consider what to do next, be beard footsteps behind, and on turning a rosy-cheeked girl, with a cheerful smile, was seen advancing toward him. It was Dora. She had answered the call for her. MISS STEPLEKT AMUSED. For a moment the reporter was discon certed, and Dora was not a little amused at the fact Then, with a toss of her bead, she said, in reply to a question: "Well, yes; supposing I am home; what, do you want to tell some more stories like those that have appeared in the papers?" At this point Dora's mother re-entered the room, and when she saw that the "cat was out of the bag" tried to get Dora to leave, but she would not. Dora then at tempted to talk and her mother tried to stop her. But the younc lady would not be stopped. She said: "There is no reason why you should say anything about mp in the paper, I want you to just leave the whole thing out. You can't lool me. There has been enough stories in the papers." Sne said she would not talk, but at last consented to do so, on the reporter assuring her that, as the fact of her return would be announced auvway, she should vindicate herself by an explanation, and if the.reports were not trne, give her own side of the story. Dora's eyes snapped fire as she partly arose and said: "It's no one's business why I left, and all those stories have been lies. My character shall not be assailed, I tell you right here, and you'd better not print anything about me, or I will attend to the matter. When I lett home my character was spotless, and when I returned it was spotless. wasn't caged up. "I have not been caged up or locked up. I went and came of my own free will. I was not kept away from home, as was re ported. No oncmade me go. It was of my own free will." "Well, then, will you explain why you went?" asked the reporter. "Why do others go? I jnst took a notion to travel about a little, as many others have done." "Where have you been all this time?" was asked. "Well, now, yon can't pump me that way. It's no one's business where I went, I have seen a plenty of the country. No, 'Mickey' Dean didn't bother me. He got into trouble enouch about another girl, and couldn't scare me. No, I shan't tell you i wncmer x was in x rmsuurg an me lime or not, or whether I have been home before or not. You can just say that all that talk was lies, from beginning to end." "Well, will you explain then what led to the allegations and charges made by your mother when you lelt?" "I suppose the newspapers made it up, and the girls told that stuff because well, I don't know why they did." Just at that point the name of a person, said to have been mixed up in the affair was mentioned, when Dora once more arose and said: DOHA GETS EXCITED. "I sba'n't have that name mentioned. He had nothing to do with my coing away. I never saw him or spoke to him, and I will stand as his witness to defend him. No one had anything to do with my going or coming, or any other actions of mine, I tell you." Miss Steplein was looking very healthy and rosy-cheeked, and as plump' as could be. She wore her hair short, and was dressed very plainly. She would not state whether she intended staying home or not, or anything further than that given. Dora Steplein disappeared from her borne June 25, 1889. The circumstances sur rounding her disappearance led to the sup position that she bad been abducted. Sev eral weeks previous she went to an employ ment office on Grant street to apply for a position, and while she was in the place a gentleman stood on the opposite side of the itreet. When she came out he accosted her aud offered her a position as a domestic in the country. She only remained a week with him and then went back home. After she disappeared it was thought her country employer had something to do with her leaving home. Alderman Ilartman, of the Southside, Father Bernard, of. St. Michael's Church, Agent Dean, of the Anti-Cruelty Society, the Southside police and the girl's friends spent months trying to find the missinr ynunr woman, but all their efforts were fruitless SCORES OF WAKRAXTS ISSUED. The mother, Mrs. Barbara Steplein, made an information before Alderman ilartman, charging the girl with incorrigibility, and the magistrate had no less than 4.1 warrants out in as many officers' hands. During the search it was discovered the girl had been at the bouse of an attorney who was known as "James" for two weeks. The Misses Minnie and Mary Soaker, former compan panions of Dora, thought they had located the zirl. but when they were tested could not produce her. Months passed before any word was re ceived from Dora. E,trly in the fall her sis ter Lizzie received a letter from her, writ ten irom a town in Iowa. During the win ter a report trained circulation that Dora was seen by a friend at the St. Charles Hotel, to whom she related the story of her depar ture, and then said she was going to Wheel ing, to be married to a bank clerk named King. This story was denied by Lizzie Steplein, who subsequently received letters from Dora, in which she said she had never told such a story while in Pittsburg. A MOTHER'S MISTAKE. hue Btproncbee a Police matron Under the Impression That She Is a Prisoner. A respectable appearing old lady called at the Central station, yesterday afternoon, to psy a fine for her daughter, who had been arrested for drunkenness. The young woman was brought up to the iron-barred door of the celltoom by Police Matron Finney. The old lady scolded the girl in such vigorous language that Matron Finney smiled, which the mother resented, and ex claimed indignantly, "I don't see what you find to laugh at. I'm sure Ton ought to be just as ashamed of yourself for being locked up In here." TELLS A DIFFERENT TALE. Sir. Grccvy'e Ride of the Blair County AVnllncoPnlllson qnnbble He fenys All Other Urporis Lack the Elements of Trnlb. Thomas H. Grcevy, ex-Chairman of the Blair county Democratic Committee, was at the Seventh Avenue yesterday. He stated, in an interview, that the published accounts of the proceedings at the recent Blair county committee meeting, in Hollidaysburg, were altogether false. It bad been alleged that the Wallace men, of whom Mr. Greevy is one, had tried to block the meeting, and that in self-defense the Pattison men bad finnllv forced an adjournment. "We could not have done much block ing," said Mr. Greevy, "because the chair man aud secretary were both adherentsof Pattison, and they never published the list of committeemen nor sent a single notice of meeting to any member of the committee. John Dunphy, the chairman, read a new list of committeemen as soon as the meeting was called to order. He refused to admit substitutes for those not present, and would not put several regularly seconded motions, thus admitting 12 unauthorized committee men, xiowara i-orier, oj .aouiutiyauuiKi and Pat Flinn, of Tyrone, both well-known Democrats, were among the authenticated proxies who were thus arbitrarily refused seats. "When the time for fixing the county convention date arrived, the Wallace men made itAusust 23, but the Paltisonians wanted it in June. A vote was called, and the ex-Governor's partisans j,ot very badlv left. The moment the result was an nounced Chairman Dnnphr again rose and said: 'I adjourn this meeting.' Thenhe, the Secretary, and about 14 of the Pattison men lelt the room. About six Wallace men followed, being desirous of catching their train. The remainder of the commit tee then reorganized and elected Charles Smith, of Altoona, Chairman, and W. F. McConnell Secretary. This done they elected six delegates for tbe county conven tion namelv: A. S. Landis, T. H.Greevy, J. E. Bell.' A. W. Dively, Esq., Dr. Itowan Clark and J. McFadden, At the time there were 50 committee men present, nnd these gentlemen authorized the Chair man pro tem to can a convention u vruair man Dunphy would not do so. "That is the account ot the Hollidays burg meetinc, and, as you see, it differs very largely irom the ridiculous stuff which appeared iu last Saturday's papers." TURNED OCT OP THEIR HOME. Bod Story ofa Womnn nnd Her FIto Chil dren Found Huddled Together, Sobbing Bitterly The Case to be Investigated To-Dny. Turned out into the cold, dark night, with five children huddling about her and a sick child in her arms! This was the pitiable condition in which 'Squire Moore, of Hazel wood, found the wife of Patrick Burns Saturday night She was sitting on a log, without shelter to protect her shrinking body from the chill wind, and sobbing bit terly. Inside the little one-story frame house from which she had been ejected sat her lord and master, Patrick Burns, very drunk and cursing loudly. Burns was on one of the periodical sprees to which he is addicted, and when he came home began to abuse bis wile and children, finally turning them out ot doors. 'Squire Moore was notified and made the man take back his family. Burns is employed about the neighbor hood as a gardener, and makes a comforta ble income, the most of which goes to the saloon. Local liquor dealers refuse to sell him any drinks, bnt he has others who pur chase it for him in quart quantities, and then goes off on monthly sprees. Last winter, one cold, snowy night. Burns turned out his wile and an infant three days old. Mrs. Burns and the children passed the night in a shed. The woman never com plained and the authorities were not noti fied. The little child contracted croup, and has suffered from that disease ever since. Agent Dean, of the Anti-Cruelty Society, has been notified, and he will investigate the matter to-day at Burns' honse on Lytle street Yesterday Burns was seen on the streets, drunk as usual, while his family were at home patiently awaiting the return of their father. HOESES BURNED TO DEATH. Sehoenberger & t'o.'s stables Damaged to the Extent of $1,300. At 9:40 o'clock last night Officer Charles Metzger, while patroling his beat in the neighborhood ol Fifteenth aud Pike streets, discovered fire in the iron-clad stables of Shoenberger & Co. Officer Metzger ran np to No. 1G engine house, and, after notifying that company, sent in an alarm from box 47. The companies responded promptly and succeeded in confining the fire to the interior of the building. Tne fire for a time burned very fiercely, and, when an tffort was made to release three mules and a horse thst were stabled in the building, the beat baffled the firemen's efforts and the poor brutes were burned to death. The fire is supposed to have originated by some careless driver dropping a match after lighting bis pipe. The damage to the stable, feed, etc., will be about $1,000 and the loss of the horse and mules will add 5500 to that The loss is fully covered by in surance. & SABBATH AT THE UEM'IHAL. Magistrate Ilyndnian Conducts Imprcsslro Services nt the Morning Henrlng. Police Magistrate Hvndtnan faced 23 de linquents at the Central station yesterday morning. Most of the prisoners were simply plain drunks without any artistic trim mings, aud received suitable sentences. Thomas Armstrong drauk enough Satur day to make him feel like a big man, and Grant street was not wide enough for him to promenade. In order to obtain more room lie knocked down J. B. Beech for presuming to live, and then broke n pane of glass in trying to put his victim through a window. Armstrong will abide in tbepentup TJtica at Claremont for 30 days. Michael Ryan tried to break up a prayer meeting at the Moorhead building Saturday evening, and refused to listen to the persua sions of Rev. Mr. Whitesldcs. Thirty days.

An Eminent Engineer Hrjonrnlug at a Pittsburg Hostelry. Allan Stirling, President of the Engin eers' Association of the United States, has been staying in the Seventh Avenue for some days. Mr. Stirling is the man who projected the Brooklyn bridge, and he has lelt monuments to his skill all over the country. In person Mr. Stirling is tall and rather slightly built, of a dark complexion and clean-shaven face, which is" somewhat se vere in its aspect.

A Story That Myers Wa in Danger of Falling in Love With NELLIE JONES, THE CHIEF WITNESS Cashier John Kuhn Talks About the Kote That Was Overdue. MISS DOUGLASS' FDXEEAIi TO-DAI Tne latest development in the Douglass tragedy at McKeesport is a story to the effect that the Jones girl, whose testimony was so damaging to young Myers at the Coroner's inquest on Saturdayhad not been dismissed from the Douglass house by Myers, but by bis auut. The latter, it is said, was told that her nephew was in dan ger of becoming infatuated with Miss Jones, and the aunt sent the girl away. The little house on the old Douglass farm was crowded with visitors and sight-seers from McKeesport yesterday. The body of Mrs. Douglass lay in the "best" room, in 'a plain casket, npon the lid of which was en graved the words: "At rest'' The stream of people that filed into the little room ex tended away out into the yard, and for hours seemed to be an endless procession of per sons eager to get a glimpse of the pale fea tures of the dead woman. Among the first on the ground was Con stable Piper, who turned over outhouses, chicken coops and almost everything else portable or stationary, in bis efforts to find a hidden revolver. His efforts were unsuc cessful, however, as no weapons of any kind were discovered on the premises. MBS. BECK QUITE ANGRY. Mrs. Emma Beck, who has been placed in charge of the house by Coroner Mc Dowell, was greatly incensed at the testi mony of "Miss Nellie Jones,;the girl who said "Myers had shot at his aunt while the latter was returning home from church. Mrs. Beck said: "I do not think much of that girl's testimony. She says she was standing on the road on the Haler-Shaler plan of lots, on Thursday, and saw Miss Douglass standing talking to a man in her trout yard, between 12 and 1 o'clock. This was shortly before the tragedy is supposed to have occurred. She says be was a big man, but she could not tell what he looked like. There is a good reason for the latter statement The place where she says she stood is over half a mile from the Douglass bouse, and unless she has Unusually large, sharp eyes, she could not tell whether a per son was big or little. Myers is a tall man, and a great many people instantly jumped to the conclusion that be was the man she saw. "She also says that Eddie sent her away from the house, saying that bis aunt could do all her own work. This is not so. A lady living near here told Miss Donglass that the Jones girl wanted Eddie to 'keep company' with her, and the best thing the aunt could do would be to send the girl away. Miss Douglass did, and since then Miss Jones has been 'living out' at several places. Theie is more in that girl than she cares to tell. SAYS IT IS HOT TRUE. A visit was paid to the house of Mrs. Ficckenstein. whern Nellie Jones is now employed. The latter was asked if she had kept company or had been on intimate terms with young Myers. Miss Jones em phatically denied that she and Myers had "gone together," as Mrs. Beck had alleged. "Eddie was after high-toned girls," Miss Jones continued, "and did not run around with poor working girls like me. He did not go with the 'tony' girls very much, either, but thought he was above me. He often took me to town in his buck wagon, but only when I was going on an errand." Miss" Jones stuck to her original story about seeing a man standing talking to Miss Douglass. She also says she is sure about Miss Douglass telling her that Eddie shot at her while coming home from church. It was a common occurrence, she said, for the two to be fighting in the house. She says she has no desire to see Eddie con victed, but only wants to tell all she knows about the case. John I. Kulin, cashier of the National Bank, who was wanted as a witness at the Coroner's inquest, was seen at his residence on Shaw avenue, and asked about the note given the bank by young Myers, and which was overdue. Mr. Kuhn said: AS TO THAT OVEEDUE SOTE. "The reason that I was not at the inquest was on account of my being in Pittsburg on business. I could not have given much valuable testimony, as I know little about the case. In regard to the note, I do not remember bow much it was drawn for. The discount clerk called my attention to it, and I told him to go over to Myers' office and. see him about it He went over, but re turned, saying that Myers was not there. I went to town, and returned about 6 o'clock. While I was iu the bank one of the clerks happened to look ont the window and saw Myers passing along the street. I told him to run out and bring Myers in. "When the young man came in I told him about the note, and asked him why he had not attended to it. He said he had in tended to co to town and get some money he had there and pay the note, but his aunt had died and he had not time to go to Pittsburg. I asked him what she had died from, sympa thizing with him as one man would with another, and he told me she had heart trouble. He asked lor a few days' exten sion of time until the trouble over bis aunt's death was settled, saying he would pay the note at the end of that time. I had no desire to push him, and replied that it was all right and we would help him all we could in his affliction. He did not seem to be cast down at all, but took his aunt's death as a matter of course. A I-ECULIAIt SOBT OF BOY. "Myers was a peculiar boy. I did not know him so well, but I heard rumors about many transactions be was engaged in in which Myers always came out at the tail end. He was a big, cood-naiured fellow. and was just the kind of a man sharpers liked to deal with. When his grandfather's farm was divided, aud he got half, he cut his 16 acres up into building lots and placed them on the market "To show his character, several instances may be cited. I heard it stated that he sold n lot, the price of which was $1,000, for $400, because be was in need ol ready money at the time. Other lott worth (400 he sold for $100. It altogether depended upon whether he was 'flush' or 'strapped' whether one could get a bargain or not. If you caught him at a time when he was in need of money you could get a lot cheap, but if you went to buy a lot when he had plenty of money you would have to pay a stiff price. The market price of tho lots rose and fell with Myers ready money, and not according to values. NATURAL TO HAVE REVOLVERS. "I do not attach any significance to the fact of a revolver being found in the. bouse, or the statement that there were several re volvers there. Myers was, a short time ago, in the hardware business, and it it only natural to tuppose that he should have re volvers, cutlery, etc., in the house. The hardware venture n as apparently a foolish thing, and shows-how easy going'he was. It is reported that ho lost money iu the busi ness, and, not knowing anything about -it. it is only natural that he should. It is hard to believe that he committed the deed, as I did not think he was a man of that kind." A "well-known real estate agent of this town, who handled the Douglass plan of lots, said he often went to the house, and. while talking to Miss Douglass, she showed him bruises on her head that Eddie had made in beating her. The police officials of the borough are making efforts to unravel the mystery, but caq find nothing positive against Myers. The latter passed yesterday in the county jail, aud did not seem to be in the least per turbed over bis imprisonment. He main tains the same indifference, and one would imagine he was waiting for his wedding day. instead of a court trial on' the charge of murder. The f tteral of Miss Douglass will be held to-day., The services will be held at the house at 12 o'clock, ana the interment will take place in Mt Vernon cemetery A peculiarity about Miss Douglass which has not been noted is the fact of her singular dress. She was always seen in gum boots, gingham apron, big sunbonnet, and in all kinds of weather wore a veil over her face. KILLED WHILE AT PLAY. A Tbree-Tear-Old Child Bun Over by a riensant Vnlley Cor The Accident Not Due to Carelessness, but Ibe Hotorman Is Arrested. Another fatal accident on thePJeasant Valley electrio line occurred last evening. Henry Helser, a 3-year-old infant, was run over and killed in front of his parents' resi dence, 330 East street, Allegheny. The ac cident was not caused by any carelessness on the part of the railroad employes, and owing to the crowded condition of the streets in the vicinity it seems a wonder that more were not killed or injured. Shortly before 8 o'clock Car 117 of the Madison avenue line was bowling along East street The streets were jammed with people men, women and children, the latter for the most part playing about the sidewalk and on the street as well. There were some half a dozen children playing about a pool of water in front of No. 330, and as the car got there the cnild Hesler ran out on the track directly in front of the car. The motor man, Charles W. Mackey, had seen the children in the street when be was a block away, but none ot them were out as far on the track. He bad not the time to reverse the current or stop the car, and the wheels cut the child's body in two pieces. The body was carried into the house and laid upon the floor. The parents of the child are poor Ger mans, and are only partial occupants of the house. Another woman who occupies part of it took charge of the body, as the mother is very sick and not expected to live. She was told her boy was injured, but by the advice of Dr. Cole, who was called, the ex tent of the accident was kept from her. Her husband, however, told her of the boy's death when he came home, which was an hour after the boy was killed. Then Mrs. Hesler became wild and nearly died. She screamed and moaned at a pitiful rate, and was given antidotes at last to quiet her. - Mr. Mackey, the motor man of the car, took the car to the station and then went home to 21 Alpine street There detective Steele arrested him and took bim to the Major's office to await the result of the in quest to-day. He is a man of 50 years and has a family of grown up children. He is credited with being one of the most careful men on the road. CHABGZS AGAINST A JUDGE. The Trades Assembly Thinks Jostles Mc Kennan Should be Relieved. In addition to asking for an investigation of the alleged offer to settle the Jeannette glass workers' case, prior to a trial, the Trades Council took another step in the matter of greater importance Saturday night The Executive Board was instructed to address a letter to President Harrison, asking for the removal of Justice Mc Kennau from the Circuit Bench for in capacity by reason of his extreme age. The Jeannette case is referred to, and the board will state in their letter that Justice McKennan slept part of 'the time the evi dence was being taken, and that be may not have been capable ol forming proper conclusions from the evidence he heard. It is given ont that the intention is not to im peach the Justice, nor to cast reflections on him, but the desire of the Trades Assembly is simply to have him relieved from duty because of his age. Justice McKennan is one of the oldest Judges in the State. He resides in Washington county, and has been on the Circuit Court bench lor manv years. It is said the action of the assembly in re lation to the reported effort to settle the ease is to vindicate Homer L. McGaw. HOW WTLKrKSBUBO VOTED On tbo Question of Adding 840,000 to tho Boronsh's Indebtedness. Saturday's vote in Wilkinsburg on the question of school indebtedness, while small, seems to have been very interesting to the majority of the people of Wilkinsburg. It was the general topic of conversation yester day. The opinion of the community is ex emplified in the result, the exact figures of which are as follows: For. First ward. ...... . 64 Second ward ,49 Third ward 64 Against 13 22 9 167 44 Majority 123 There are 900 registered voters in Wilkins burg, so it will be seen that less than one fourth voted upon it on Saturday. This was the first vote taken on any subject since Wilkinsburg was redistricted into three wards. A LADY AUD HEB EEV0LVEE Pnt Two Bold nichwnymen to FHabt on First Avenue. A pretty and petite brunette.'with spark ling eyes and fashionably attired, was ar rested last night for shooting on First ave nue. The lady, who gave her name as Mrs. Ide Hughes and herage as 20 years, said she lived with her husband, Samuel Hughes, over the Anchor Bank, on Fifth avenue. About 10 o'clock last evening she was walk ing down First avenue to meet her husband when two men seized her and attempted to steal her purse. She broke away, pulled a revolver and, as they fled, fired a shot after them. When placed under arrest by Officer Glenn and taken to the Central station, she said she wished she had killed both tho men, aud her eyes snapped as if she meant it. A CHECK OK SWEABIH O. AH Telefrrnms Hereafter to bo Written on n Typewriter. Messrs. J. S. Lucock and J. H. Winton, of the Western Union Telegraph office, have received letters of patent on a device they constructed for feeding telegraph blanks to a typewriter or caligraph. The construction of the apparatus is very simple, and meets the requirements for which it is intended. The "feeder" will hold from 1 to 1,600 blanks? and will facilitate the receiving of messages in a great measure. Business men will not hereafter have to scratch their heads in vain efforts to decipher the chirogra phy of telegraph operators. It is only a question of a very short time until all tele grams will be taken upon the typewriter. The feeder which the gentlemen have patented can be adopted in the use of letter heads or other blanks used in typewriting. MBS. WmrEBS WILL K0T DIE.

War THE bOOTHSIDE ILLICIT SAL00KS Eeported by Inspector HcKelvej to the Public Safety Chief. ALL MUST BE CLOSED BEF0EE JOSE 1 Uncle Sam has patted Chief J. O. Brown, of the Department of Public Safety, on the back and said: "Go in, my boy, in your war' against the speak-easies; I am with von." The Treasury Department has been asked by Collector Warmcastle to send a special officer here to look after illegal liquor sellers. Mr. Warmcastle will not content himself with merely compelling these places to par the current license, but he will de mand that they pay for all the years past that they have been doing business with out license. In addition to this Messrs. Brown and Warmcastle will exchange lists, and thereby give each other valuable infor mation. Chief Brown will not allow the Depart ment of Public Safety to relax its vigilance. He said yesterday: "I propose to hold the Inspectors of each police district responsible for the speak easies in their respective territories. They may choose their methods, but the result must be the total eradication of this evil. On the first of this month we opened the most vigorous campaign yet waged against the speak-easies, and on June 1 I shall expect that every one will have been driven out of business. DOING THE VVOEK THOBOTJGHLY. "If I find there are any left in any dis trict I shall expect the Inspector ot that district will go all over his territory again, until the last one is forced ont." Chief Brown has requested the Inspectors to furnish him with lists of all the speak easies in their districts, copies of which will be furnished Collector Warmcastle. The first one presented was by Inspector Mc Kelvey, of the Third, or Southside district Mr. McKelvey makes informations against illegal liquor sellers and sends the cases to court. On the other band Inspector Mc Aleese, ol the First district, believes in summsiy conviction on tbe charge of keep ing a disorderly house, which is specified by tbe statute to be an unlirensed place where persons congregate and drink in toxicants. Owing to 'the fact that this system Is expected to make a big change in a few days Mr. McAleese has not yet pre pared bis report. In Inspector McKelvey's report he gives a list of 23 illegal houses" which have since been legalized by the court. The report gives a total of 128 places closed br the po lice, many shutting up when notified so to do. II'KELVET'S LITTLE LIST. Pittsburg, May 17, 1890. J. O.

One was kept by Notza Eossi, at No. 1207 Penn avenue, and the other by Aquillina Cappelli, at No. 1006 Liberty street Thirteen victims were captured in the former place, and 14 in the latter. All the prisoners were Italians, and all had plenty of money; one having 55.500 in bills in a belt worn next the skin. Mrs. Annie Mclntire, who lives between Fifth and Forbes avenues, near Boston street, was arrested on a speak-easy charge yesterday by Inspector Whitehouse. A quantity of beer and liquor was found in the bouse. Patrick Farrell, of No. 2616 Edwards alley, Southside, was taken in yesterday by Inspector McKelvey because he lacked a license. The Allegheny City police have caught the fever, and yesterday raided the housesof Mrs. Annie Tackney, No. 109 Stewart street,-and Andrew Ubrey, corner of Third and Chestnut streets. In the former four and iu the latter three visitors were cap tured. HELP FROM THE PDLP1T. Father Corcoran, of Soho, Itonndlr De nounce! iho Illegal T.lqnor Trade He Will Assist tbe Police to Kan Ont the Spoak.Eailcs. Father Corcoran, rector of St Agnes' Church, Sobo, bas taken a hand in the speak-easy business and threatens to make it warm for the proprietors as well as the people who frequent such places. He will also make an effort to stir up the police au thorities and have the latter drive the ille gal drinking places out of his parish. At the several masses in his church yesterday Father Corcoran preached against the busi ness and was bitter in his denunciations. He has cause to be, as he found several L young boys who bad taken the pledge in his church lured away and made drunk in a speak-easy. This is what prompted bim to deliver bis attack: against them. He said: "This parish bas been made to feel the in fluence of the accursed low doggeries known as speak-easies. These places are the resort of women and boys, who would not dare to go into .a licensed drinking place. A great many women who once form the habit of imbibing strong drink cannot stop it They have not the will power of a man, and I have known them to take the pledge at the solici tation of their husbands with the intention of breaking it within an hour. I know one case in particular, where an old hag who keeps a speak-easy enticed several boys away from the temperance society after they had taken the pledge. This old witch, this demon in human form, tells the boys it is manly to drink, and that only babies take a pledge. She always has about her a crowd of women and boys. The former sit in her place tippling while their husbands are away at work, instead of being at home at tending to their household duties. "I hope the police officers, in their zeal to stamp out this accursed business and close up these holes, will invade Soho, and pull out every speak-easy keeper. They should not be allowed to pay a fine, but should be sent to jail. A fine of ?100 is nothing. They can pay this without any trouble, and as soon as they get out, start in business again. Put everyone of them in jail and keep them there. Society should be rid of them, and they will all be run in if I can do anything in the matter." Sacrifice Sale of Pinnae of Almost Every Known Make.

BOQQ3 & Buhl, - CHANCE FORI BOOH Manager Johnston, of the Exposition, Points Ont a Way in Which GOOD WORK CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED. Some of the Attractive Features of the Coming- Annual Show. WORK TO BEG1K IN EARXEST TO-DAI "Pittsburg stands on the threshold of a golden opportunity to boom herself hieher than she has ever boomed before. The commercial and industrial interests of this city are so situated now that it is folly to suppose our merchants and business men will hesitate to improve the chance. If they accept the opportunity it means a grand improvement in everything; a tide of com mercial prosperity will sweep over Pittsburg like a mighty wave. And that opportunity is embraced in the forthcoming Exposition." Such were the words of Mr. J. H. John ston, who filled the office of manager of the Exposition last tall with high executive ability, and is now actively engaged in dis charging the arduous duties of that same position this year. "The citizens," he continued,"'must real ize that an exhibition of the character of which we propose to institute in the autumn will not be a success, in the broadest sense of the term, unless it permanently eflecU the local prosperity of this city. The ob ject of the Exposition will be to establish ex cellent improvements in the various indus tries, and to foster and develop commerce and the arts of Pittsburtr. But in order to secure a lasting benefit and promote the general welfare, it is necessary to encourage outside industrial people to exhibit their products nt our Exposition, and in that manner hold ont inducements to them to invest capital in local enterprises. "The time bas come for Pittsburg to make her choice. To extend a welcome hand to the nation, and induce outsiders to set up in business in one of the most flourishing cities west of the Allegbenies, or calmly sit by and watch the golden opportunity slip past. Tbe grand resources possessed by this favorably located city are attracting the at tention of capitalists tbronghout the world, and all it needs to boom the town is a little encouragement in tbe way of hard, solid cash. OlfB way to do it. "There are any number of Pittsbureers who can profitably nnd conveniently afford to reach down into their pockets for a round $100. That is the sum which entitles one to a life membership in the Exposition, and if we bad one hundred members more, then the enterprise would be a success from the start. The money will be put where it will do the' most good, and, rn.uk my words, we will interest outsiders in Pittsburg, and the result will be increased business and general prosperity in the Birmingham of America. "One difficulty in the success of the Ex position is the rather close quarters In the buildings, but tbe size will not binder us materially iu making the show one of the grandest In tbe country, for, as we say in Latin, there is such a thing as multura in parvo. There was some talk about erecting an extension, but our purse savs no. and consequently that departure will be dis pensed with for awhile. "The improvements and alterations on tbe buildings are in tbe hands of skilled laborers, and work will be commenced to morrow. Tbe lovers of art who are inter ested in the productions of famous artists will have a better opportunitv to enliehteu their minds and greatly increase their in tellectual enjoyments after the new sky lights are constructed. Other changes are under the supervision of the builders of the Exposition structure. "The seating accommodations for music lovers will be first class, and visitors will have an opportunity to enjoy themselves far better than they did last year. The Thir teenth Begiment Band, of New York, has been engaged to furnish music, and it prom ises to be oue ot tbe leading attractions. "Something novel and highly interesting has been secured in the line or mechanical exhibits, and will be the only feature of its kind ever attempted in the United States. Prominent glass manufacturers of this city have volunteered to combine and place on exhibition, not only the numerous products of their mills, but also show, in complete detail, all the operations and mechanical workings of a regular glass factory. OTHER IMPORTANT EXHIBITS. "We will have other important manu facturing exhibits of infinite variety, and, what is more, show the visitor the mode of constructing machinery that requires the greatest accuracy and degree of mechanical skill for its perfect execution. The North and South will be well repre sented, the East will have a large space, and the West will come trooping in with her characteristic industries. In the art line, I am happy to say we havn already secured artistic gems of the most chaste and elegant design, and of exquisite workmanship, that win give a uuisa to me rest oi tne -exposition. The gallery will not be under the supervision of the same directors of last year, but under tbe control of the exhibition committee, and, so far as human foresight can go, the art department will be an un qualified success, if no railroad smash-up occurs to the pictures while they are on the road. "For those who like to indulge in the pleasures of tbe table, we have made ar rangements to supply refreshments in a well conducted restaurant located within the grounds. Iu fact, no effort will be spared to make the exhibition replete with popular features a fitting monument to the enter prise of Pittsburg; an Exposition that will clothe the city with honor, her business with Srosperity and her citizens with wealth, ut money makes the mare go, and citizens, who contribute liberally now will realize this when the doors of the Exposition are thrown open to the public next Septem ber 3." 3LA2INESB,- Weakness, Indisposition to Wort, Headache, Dullness, Heaviness, Lack: of Appetite, Constipation, all Indicate that you need a low doses of the genuine Dr. McLane's Celebrated OYER PILLS.

'- Mrs. Rota Link Say Iter Dnnghter Aanlo Dm Eloped With a Handsome Railroad er An Errand to Allegheny Tbat Took a Lone Tlmr. I'll kill him, I'll kill him! exclaimed Mrs. Eosa Link between her sobs last even- ing, while telling her story in the Twelfth ward station. Mrs. Link is a widow with a large family of children, and keeps a saloon and board ing house at No. 16C4 Penn avenue. Among the boarders was a handsome young rail roader, John McCune. Mrs. Link's eldest daughter Annie, aged 19 years, and the young railroader were oi friendly terms, and Mrs. Link, not desiring that the ac quaintance should ripen into love, notified McCune to get another boarding bouse, which he agreed to do this week. Yesterday aiternoon Mrs. Liuk sent her daughter to Allegheny oo an errand, and. " as a matter of precaution, told tbe hired girl to accompany her. About 6 o'clock the hired girl returned alone, saying that Annie had told her she was going to call, upon some friends, and would be. home br 8 o'clock. Annie had not returned at 8 o'clock, and Mrs. Lick went to her daugh ter's room, where she found a note Irom Annie to the effect that she could not live without the railroader. She had therefore left home, and intended to marry Mr. Mc Cune, after wbich she would notify her mother of her address. Mrs. Link wanted to secure an officer to. stop the marriage, and was referred to In spector McAleese at the Central station, but when she reached there the Inspector had gone home and nothing could be done until morning.
