v. 2 THE PITTSBUKG- DISPATCH. THURSDAY. JUNE ' 5. 1S90. f i i 5 9 I RUTAN WILL STICK, He Says He TO1 Stay in the Contest to the Finish. STONE WILL ALSO STAND. General Hastings Visits the City and Sees Major Hontoolh. THE COUKTI COMMITTEE CALLED It now seems to be certain that both John IT. 2Teeb and James S. Eutan will stand as Senatorial candidates in the Forty-second district Senator Rutan ytsterday declared himself in the fight to-the finish. ' The situation in the Twenty-third Con gressional district has not yet taken definite shape Attorney W. D. Porter, Chairman of the Republican County Committee, yes terday sent out notices of a meeting or the new committee, in Common Council cham ber, at 1 o'clock on Saturday, June 14. Mr. Porter will call the committee to order. Al though he has been re-elected a member of the committee, he will refuse a re-election as Chairman. The Allegheny Congres sional and Senatorial disputes will both be acted on by committee. POETEE HOPES FOR PEACE. Mr. Porter said yesterday: "As a member of the committee I must decline to express any opinion as to its action. There is a great deal of talk now. People S3y things when they are hot that they regret after ward. The affair may adjust itself after the excitement wears away." As to the Butan-Xeeb contest Mr. Porter said: "The committee will recognize one or the other of the nominees. I suppose it will be the nominee of the regular convention." Colonel "William A. Stone had not re turned from Harrisburg yesterday, but Re corder W. H. Graham spoke for him. He insisted that the nomination was regular and that there was no chicanery about it. He said that Colonel Stone would not with draw. HOW SHIBAS LOST TOTES. George Shiras IIL isnottaking any action politically just at present. He says thatjhe will let the people of the district settle the matter. Mr. Shiras is not pleased with statements made that Colonel Bayne de feated him five to one. He says that he had S8 delegates in the "World's Museum con vention, but that 100 votes more in the district, properly distributed, would have given him CO delegates. He lost some of the largest districts by a very few votes. Already petitions are being circulated for signatures in Allegheny, asking the county committee to order new primaries and convention. In the Senatorial matter, Mr. Keeb has agreed to leave the dispute to the county committee, but Senator Rutan refuses to do so. The present prospect is that both Ueeb and Rutan will be candidates before the people. EUTAS' GITES SOME FIGUBES. Senator Rutan said yesterday afternoon: I had a majority of 106 votes in that conven tion OTer both Neeb ana Harbison. I can prove that to the satisfaction ot any three disinter ested persons. In that estimate I do not count the votes which would have been cast by one of the Third ward delegates who tras elected for me and sold out directly. However, I bad no chance for the nomination with Hunter in tbe chair. If the other side had needed 1,000 votes they would have got them by Hun ter's decision. His rulings were ont rageous and some of them were directly contradictory to one another. In tbe Eisenbeis case in the Third ward ono of the judces of election was present and stated that KIsenbeis had not received his credentials and that the transfer paper was a forgery. In that case Hunter decided that be must recognize the delegate because his papers were regular on tbeir face. Then they came to tbe Second precinct of the Eighth ward, where Jackson t as elected forme. He received, I am told, two sets of credentials in some way. One set he tore up before witnesses. The other was transferred to Louis Haas and presented in tbe convention, but was ruled out by Chairman Hunter. That took 111 votes from me and cave the Noeb Harbison combination a majority of five over me. THE SENATOB COMPLAINS. Senator Rutan spoke caustically of the conduct of Harrv Armstrong, who" held a proxv for Sewicklev. He said that it was understood during the canvass that Moore, the Harbison candidate for delegate from Sewicklev, should support Rutan it Harbi son stood no chance, and that after the primaries, when Moore gave his credentials to Armstrong, the latter visited Rutan's honse and promised to support him. In the sequel he voted for Neeb. The Senator said that Hnnter was put into the position of Tem porary Chairman bv Neeb and Berry, while Rutan wanted W. D. Porter to serve. The Senator said: 1 have received the nomination justly, by the votes of tbe people. The County Committee has nothing to do with it. I do not intend to submit my nomination to tbe committee. I might as well leare the decision to Neeb him self. I bad the Pittsburg ring against me from tbe start I won the fight single-handed and I shall run. The Senator was asked: "Can both you and Keeb run without the danger of the election of a Democrat?" He replied: "I will see that no Democrat is elected. I will be elected myself." THE KESOIVTJTIOS' AXIi EIGHT. Colonel "William A. Stone, the nominee for Congress in the Twenty-third district, was in Harrisburg yesterday in attendance on the Supreme Court as one of the counsel in the traction companies' suits. "With the other Pittsburg attorneys he returned home on the limited last night. He was interviewed at the depot by a re porter for The Dispatch. He was asked if he had noticed tbe resolution adopted by the Second Legislative district convention. He replied: "Yes, I read it. The resolu tion is all right, but 1 do not think the question was one with which that conven tion had anything to do. If there is a ques tion to be raised about the nomination, it is a matter for the County Committee to set tle." "What will be vour course in the mat ter?" "I made a speech in the convention ac cepting the nomination. J am the regular nominee. That convention contained many excellent men who knew what ttfey were doing. I think the matter was entirely regular. I hope the people do not question my ability to represent the district? I did not seek this nomination. It came to me unsolicited." SURPRISED BY BATNE. Colonel Stone said that he knew nothing of Colonel Bayne's intention to withdraw until Sunday night, or rather Monday morning before daylight. He said: "I be lieve that, had Colonel Bayne not been a candidate, I could have carried the district, but I hardly think I could have secured as many delegates as he had. I have been a warm supporter of Colonel Bayne. I was for him in every contest except one, when a particular friend of mine was a candidate. I greatly esteem Colonel Bayne and would have supported him for another term after this one, bad he been a candidate." Colonel Stone rather expects that Mr. Shiras will be a candidate before the peo ple, but thinks that the Republican vote of the district is so overwhelming, being more than two to one, that there is no serious -ianeer of the election of a Democrat. He pressed regret at tbe split in the Senatorial "rict, and said he feared that might do artv much harm. Colonel will to-day confer with his :n regard to the situation. KT00TH IS CHEERFUL, ct ProKreastng Well Both at me and Abroad intooth was feeling In a par oood yesterday. Hehadre- ceived cheering news from several sources, and considered his Gubernatorial candidacy to be in excellent shape. Not only had the 16 dele gates from Allegheny county been instructed lor him, but be had received word that five of the Philadelphia delegation would vote for him on the first ballot. The same number of Phila delphia delegates will probably voto for Dela mater. While the nublished lists give Major Montooth only 20 to 22 delegates, he expects to have about 40 on the start. Yesterday afternoon a meeting of tbe local Montooth committee was held at the office of Captain Batcbelor. Tbe reports turned in by various members of the committee indicate that about 230 Montooth boomers willgo to Harrisburg from this county. Prof. J. P. An drews was commissioned to go to Harrisburg and enrage the headquarters for the delega tion. He left for tbe (State capital last erm ine. It was reliably stated yesterday that Conn, cilman Charles W. Simon, who defeated Ar thur Kennedy for State delegate in the First Legislative district, will not attend the conven tion, but will cive his proxy to ex-City Attor ney William B. Rodgers. HASTINGS IK TEE CITY. He Hni s Plenum! Time and Discusses Enmbllf but Politics. Adjutant General Daniel H. Hastings and Lawrence L. Brown, of Bellefonte, arrived at the Hotel Anderson late Tuesday night Yes terday General Hastings called at the City Hall and had a talk with Treasurer Denniston concerning the arrangements for tbe military exhibit to be given on Juno M for the benefit of the West Penn Hospital. General Hastings has promised to be present on that occasion, and all signs indicate a successful affair. In the afternoon the General met Major Mon tooth. and the two candidates bad a pleasant chat They discussed the weather, the latest style in spring bonnets, tbe price of petroleum, the value of town lots in Bellefonte andyPitts burg and other subjects of a light and en gaging nature. Thosn who were present say that the only reference made to politics was tbe casual remarks which one of tbe gentlemen made to the other, ihat he had beard that Sen ator Delamater. of Meadville. intended to be a candidate for tbe Gubernatorial nomination. The remainder of the day was spent by Gen nrai H&sMncrs In walkln? about tbe streets. keeping carefully on the shady side, and call ing on a number of friends. He spent little time at the hotel and many cards were carried up to his room in vain. It was rumored that a conference was held last night between General Hastings and a number of the friends of Major Montooth. The General si seen just belore he retired for the night, and he said that he had attended no meeting and knew of none. He will re main in the city during the greater part of to day. INTO SCHENLEY PARE. The First Drivewny to Mount Airy to be Onrned Saturday Signboards to be Flnccd on Fifth Avcune and Forbes Street How to Get There. "You will be able to drive into Schenley Park by next Saturday," said Chief Bigelow of the Department of Public "Works yester day. "We are progressing so rapidly with the work that we will have a road into the grounds open by that time. It will be nothing but a common clay road, but we will macadem ize it as soon as we can." "Last Sunday I drove up into the park and the drive was delightful. The road we will have open on Saturday will be from this end, about the foot of Oakland avenue or Boquet street. Persons wishing to drive ont on Satur day or Sunday can go out Fifth avenne or Forbes street to either of the above named streets and turn down. From Boquet street or Oakland avenue one can drive down Joncaire street, across the. Junction railroad track and up a road running "along side the park. The road runs up to tbe summit of tbe hill and a delichtful view of tbe surroundinc coun try can be had. There are several houses along the road, where one can Mod and secure a drink of ice cold water. No. nothine eUe will be allowed on the ground a.id any attempt to open an 'oricinal package' house ill result in trouble for somebody and it won't be me. We have had several applications for parties wanting to hold picnics in panther's hollow. It used to be a favorite picnic ground for small parties some years ae". The natural beauties of tbo glen make it a romantic spot, and one In which people like to linger. "Another tblng I propose to do at once is to scatter sign boaras along Fifth avenue and Forbes street, showing the various entrances to tbe nark. One of these will probably be at tbe Oakland avenue power .house, another at tbe corner of Boquet street upon which tbe Oakland M. E. Church stands, and another at tho corner of Belleneld avenue, where the main entrance is to be located. As it is now, many people go out to Oakland on Snndays looking for the park and do not know how to get to it This trouble will soon be remedied." HO CAB FAMJHE THIS TEAR. Chnlrman Blancbnrd Chats Aboat tbe Freight BnIne. Chairman Georce R. Blanchard, of the Cen tral Traffic Association, passed through the city last evening on tbe limited bound for Chicago. Mr. Blanchard states that tbe volume of freight business is not up to what It was a few months ago. He sas such a strong movement could not be maintained forever. As a result and on ac count of the numberof cars built in the past year, Mr. Blanchard does not fear a car famine this season. He thinks tbe various car associa tions are doing a good work. In tbe matter of advancing lake differentials Mr. Blanchard says it isnot fair to discriminate atrainst Pittsburg. He complimented the local Freight Committee, and thought they would finally adjusoverythinir. Speaking of tho movement in Nebraska to fix the maximum and minimum rates in the State, he said that every man who fails in busi ness is alwajs ready to jump on a railroad to help him out In this case it is tbe poverty stricken farmer who complains that the rates charged on his grain are too high. While in tbe East Mr. Blanchard attended several meetings in New York, and appeared before tbe Inter-State Commission at Wash ington. FREEMAN DISCHARGED. The Demented Peddler Accused of IhoDons Inss Mnrdcr Goes Free. Carl Freeman, tho Hebrew peddler who tried to commit suicide in Altoona and was put un der arrest for supposed complicity in tbe mur derof Miss Douglass at McKeesprt was given a bearing yesterday before 'Squire Fielding of that borough. He was defended by 'Major E. A. Montooth and J. M. Friedman. The Chief of Police of Altoona and three other persons were witnesses. It was shown that Freeman was in McKeesport tbe day of the murder and heard of it Witnesses testified that Freeman was harmlessly insane. He himself said that be bad never seen Miss Douglass, and no con nection could be shown between him and the crime. He was discharged by the Justice, and returned to Pittsburg with his father. HEW TORKERS HOT "WORRIED. Manufacturers There Don't Know Anything Abont tbe Coffin Trust. A telegram received from New York last evening states that Taylor & Co., tbe wholesale coffin manufacturers, said yesterday tbat they had beard nothing of the aliened coffin trust reported In dispatches from Pittsburg. Even if the story were true it would be a matter of little importance to the trade. The dispatches said that a coffin manufacturing firm in Pitts burg, one in Rochester and a third in Oneida had combined as "tbe Casket Trust" and would be able to control 75 per cent of the business in the country. The Taylor people said that tbe tbrce firms named could not con trol more than 25 per cent ot the business. TIRED EEPOETHfG THEM. Cblof Steel Says Hii Reports of Incendiary Fires Are Ignored. Chief Steel, of tbe Fire Department, is far from being pleased over tbe way tbe pollen of ficials of the Second district have treated bis reports of incendiary fires. In speaking last night of tho fire on Secpnd avenue on Tuesday night Chief Steel said: "It undoubtedly had an incendiary origin, but I am tired reportine incendiary fires when my word is either ignored or denied by tbe police officials of this district, who have not alone cast doubt on my reports, but have denied their truth through tbe ne ws papers." STATE B0AKD OF CHABITDZS. Mr. Scott Says the Architect Is Working en tbe Johnstown Hospital. Mr. James B. Scott went to Philadelphia last evening to attend tho quarterly meeting of the State Board of Chanties. He said there was nothing of Importance to be transacted at the meeting so far as he knew. Speaking of tbe Johnstown Hospital Mr. Scott stated that a site had' been secured last week in Grubbtown for 5,800. It Is 231 front by 809 .feet George Orth, of this city, is the archi tect and he la now preparing the plaru for the institution. ' - . " T KEADYF0R THE SCALE Amalgamated Association Will Tackle tho Wage Question To-Day. ANNUAL EEP0RTS 0P OFFICERS. Master Tinners Take the Places of ins Journeymen. Strlk- THB STOKECDTTBRS STRIKE BR0KEK. At yesterday's session of the Amalga mated Association all the preliminary work was disposed of, and the convention is now ready to take up the scale, which it will do the first thing to-day. Tbe reports of the officers were read and referred to the proper committees. President "Weihe, in making "his final" report as the chief executive of the associa tion, reviewed the work of the past year, "which had been most satisfactory to the offi cers, and then offered several important rec ommendations relative to changes in the constitution necessary to suit the growth of the organization. His report and recom mendations were referred to the Committee on President and other officers. Secretary Martin's report showed a won derful increase in membership, particularly through tbe East, South and Northwest. The eastern distriot has had a splendid organizer during the year, and the member ship has increased more than 33 per cent. The total increase over last year's report is 22 per cent. ' . PLE2TTT OF SIOKET. The report of the treasurer, James Penny, showed the finances to be in good shape. The association does not permit the amount of its treasury to be published, bnt it is con certed to be considerably above a quarter of a million. Three new delegates were seated yesterday. They were John P. Sheehan, Edward Jones and'George Roberts. About a dozen are yet to come In. Tho first half hour ot the morning sessions has been set aside for the reading and referring of resolutions. During the reading yesterday morning an effort was made to introduce reso lutions bearing on tbe wage auestlon, but President Weihe promptly ruled them out of order because they had not been put In the programme, me decision createa a little jar, and Mr. Weihe gave the delegates an oppor tunity to appeal from his decision, but this was refrained from. A communication was read from a well known manufacturer from the Soutbside aik ine a hearing before the wage committee. Tbe request was put before the convention, but it was decided that as tbe association's own lodges had been denied hearings before the committer, it would not be proper to accord individuals this privilege. A motion was passed, however, expressing a willingness on the part of the convention to meet a com mittee representing tbe manufacturers to con fer together on the general scale or wages ques tion. Resolutions of respect on the death of the late Bernard Keclan. a former member of the Executive Board, were unanimously adopted by a rising vote. The following telegram of greeting was re ceived from President Gompers, of the Ameri can Federation of Labor, to which tbe Amal gamated Association is affiliated: GREETING FEOM GOMPERS. iJEW YORK, June, 1890.

It will be brought up to-day for consideration. Al pre dicted In The Dispatch a few days ago. the scale, as presented, asks $C per tontfor boiling or a Z-cent card, and a general advance of from 5 to 10 per cent all around In all departments. There seems to be a disposition on the part of some of tbe delegates to leare tbe scale in the same shape as last year, but this will not be permitted. A delegate said yesterday: "The Dispatch had the main points of tbe scale just as tbey were presented to the convention. Onr dele gates are divided on the subject and a.week aco the old scale mltht have been adopted. But the returns of mills to the City Assessor's office for 18S9 shows that scarcely a plant in the entire Pittsburg district made less than S1.O00. 000 last year, and two or three of them mado nearly five times that amount Tbe manufac turers cannot now make tbe Amalgamated Association delegates believe there is a dull ness in trade, and you can depend on It, an ad vance will be asked. The manufacturers should have prevented the publication of tbe City Assessor's list until after our scale bad been settled." J Although tbe present Is tbo largest conven tion Dy tu delegates ever held by the associa tion, it Is thought tbe session will adjourn about the latter part of next ..i. n.... ..-.- composed 6t better materUl this year tfian V Aver before, and thn nm.i --HJLr. ." trivial matters is conspicuous forU, absence. THIETT BOSSES AT WOBK. Blaster Tinners Tnklnc tbe Places ot Striking Journeymen. Yesterday no less than 29 master tinners went to work on the roof of Joseph Borne & Co.'s wholesale house. 3n Wood street It was a novel sight to see the bosses in boiled shirts 'putting down" tin with the thermometer at 90 in the shade. Some of them were not used to it, and about 3 o'clock several began to look for shady spots for a rest The boss in charge of the gang, William Follansbee, had his own time keepingbis men at work. It was admitted by two of tho master tinners that it is the Intention to get their men together and do all urgent cases, thus removing the pressure of tho strike from them. The journey men laugh at this idea for two reasons. In the first place they claim there are not more than half a dozer, master tinners who can endure steady work on the roofs, and besides if they could the other trades will not work with them It is very likely that the carpenters and plumbers' will refuse to finish the Horno building after tbe tinners are tbrongb. A new Conference Committee will bo appointed to morrow night by the master tinners, and the difficulty may be settled early next week. WOEKHTG OK A PIPE LUTE, Hampton Strikers Show No Disposition (o Return to Work. Accordins to Superintendent Lawton there are no prospects of a resumption ot the Hamp ton mines. He said yesterdaytbat many of the strikers are working on the pipe lines at about SI 50 per day, while their earnings in tbe mines would range from ?2 50 to $i per day. Superintendent Lawton says he is getting all the coal he wants and tbat the strike is not hurting him in the least Even when the men do return to work it will, require three weeks' time to get the mines ready for operation. THE STBIKE BEOKEN, Stonecutters Placed In a Fair WnyolEc celvlnc Their Demands, The stonecutters' strike was broken yester day by Beggs & Son, of' Allegheny, signing the scale, granting tbeir employes tho advance of 4 cents per hour. It is believed the strike will not last long now. There is a rush in the business, and the men say contractors cannot afford to permit the strike to continue. Hnllwny Employes Strike. Employes of the Pennsylvania Itallioad shops at Torrens station are out on a strike against the scale of wages now in force. It gives:tbem 83 cents for a frame or body bolt and 50 cents for a car wheel. The men claim they conld make more money at their former wages, which ranged from 510 to $20 per week. The matter will be settled amicably. Preparing lo Start. Work will be resumed at the Continental Tube Works on Monday. The plant has beerl leased by the Walworth Manufacturing Com pany, of Boston, and preparations are being made for tbe start Tbe Scnle Settled. The chimney scale for the year was arranged yesterday by the conference committee repre senting the Manufacturers' Association and the Flint Glassworkers' Association. PR0STKATED BY HEAT. Several Men Succumb to Yeterdnv' Warm Weather Slillraen Refuse to Go to Work The Outlook for Still Warmer Wentber Is All bat Bncouraclns. "How's the thermometer," was the ques tion of the day yesterday when two or more persons met and talked about the "scorching hot" weather. Tbe weather man's answer was that the quick-silver In his tube had rnn up to S3, marking the hottest day of the year, and that if it did not stop its upward voyage the month of June would break its record for heat 'Yesterday the thermometer marked 87, and 2 degrees at tbat point is eqnal to a good many in its effect when lower. The averago General dally maximum for Jane for 13 years has been 82. and up to date the average for the same time is far above all precedents. The mill and glass men suffered intensely yesterday, and numerous cases of prostration are reported. George C. Briceley, a steel worker in McKees- Sort, died from tbe effects of prostration from eat and Jos. Povorski, a laborer in the National Tube Works at tbe same place, was also prostrated. All over the city men wero forced to quit their work from fear of being struck down by tbe beat The puddlers and 13-inch mill employes on the night turn of the Republic Iron Works. Southside. did not go to work last night, and numbers of men from the other mills preferred to stay at home and fan themselves to working over hot iron. The -workers in the mills near the river suffered mott The men in the mills on tho hillside fared better; as they caught what little breezo was going. Tbe class men say that if yesterday's weather is any indicator of that to follow, it will be a lucky thing that the manufacturers decided to close earlier, and if they haan't the result would be tho same. Michael McGInty, better known as "Irish Pat" an employe in tbe welding department of the Pennsylvania Tube Works, was pros trated while at work yesterday from the com bined effects of the hot weather and drinking ice water. The puddlers at Shoenberger's and Clark's mills did not go to work last night on account of tbe heat Plilllln Hoffman, a little bov attending at Howard School, Sixteenth ward, was overcome by heat yesterday at tbe noon recess. THE PENN HOSPITAL BENEFIT. Adjutant General Hnnllnss Issues an Order for Aminnnlilon for Ihe Sbnm Battle, While in the pity yesterday Adjutant Gen eral Hastings Issued an order for 18,000 blank cartridges to be sent to Pittsburg for the use of tbe Fourteenth and Eighteenth Regiments during tbe military exhibition to be given for tbe benefit of the West Penn Hospital. It will bo given in tbe National Flayers' League grounds in Allegheny Saturday afternoon, June 14. beginning at 2 o'clock. Local powder dealers will be asked to donate the material for tbe artillery. The committee met yesterday afternoon and completed the datails for the concert by the Marine Band. Messrs. McCreery, McCalllnand Hamilton were appointed to seo that Mechan ical Hall ii put in uood shape. Tickets are al ready demanded for the concert They will be placed on sale .tt S. Hamilton's next Monday. Tbe railroads hare changed their plans for bringing in tbe country people. Instead pf makinc a rate of SI from all points, they will make the lowest possible excursion rate which Vill include an admission to the military exhi bition, and in addition to turning ovor 50 cents apiece for each exenrsionist, tbe companies will donate to the hospital fund an amount equal to what would have been realized on tbe original scheme. SANFOBD'S BODY FOUND. The Floater Identified as tho Glass Enter Who Committed Suicide. The body of tbe man found floating in tho Ohio river at tbo foot of Rebecca street, Alle gheny, on Tuesday was identified yesterday as being that of Joseph Reicbstadt, better known as "Colonel Sanford," who committed suicide by jumping from tbo Fort Wayne Railroad bridge.

FLINCHED AT THE LAST MOMENT. Bomantic Etorj of How Four LaiTrenceTllle Hearts Beat as One. A BOARD BILL FLASHED ON THE SCENE A pretty little elopment story turned np at ihe Union station yesterday. Two gay young men ran away with two fool ish maidens, and the irate mother of tbe latter chased the quartet with fire in her eye and a two weeks'Jboard bill owed her by the young men in her hand. One conple got away and are now in Cincinnati, while the young lady in the other case is at home bathed in tears while her lover is in the Central station bathed in perspiration, thinking of what will be done with him. Harry Hart, aged 24 years, and John Peters, aged 26 years, formerly worked for the Allegheny Valley Bailroad as brake men. Some months ago thev got tired whirling brakes and took a whirl around the country. Two weeks ago they returned to the city alter an absence of several months, and applied for board at the house of Mrs. McGuire, No. 84 Forty-fifth street. They stated they were looking for work and expected to get a job within a lew days. TOUR HEAET3 BEAT A3 ONE. Mrs. Maguire took them into her house as they were pleasant looking young men, and as thev seemed to be industrious she thought she could trust them for their board until they got positions. Accordingly the young men took up their quarters in the McGuire house hold and were treated handsomely, especially by Mrs. McGnire's daughters, two good-look-in?, buxom girls. Tbe two good-looking young men were thrown so often into contact with the two good-looking young women, that it resulted as such things usually do. A strong attachment grew up be tween them, and in two weeks Cupid's arrow made wonderful progress, piercing two pair of hearts drawing to a four-card flush, as it were. Hall fell in love with Miss Sadie, aged 15, and Peters was charmed with the graces of Miss Maggie, acted 26. One of the young men pro posed to his girl that they get married, but tbe latter, who was a sensible little person, asked where they would get money to live on, in view of the fact that her proposed bubby was out of work and owed a two weeks' board bill to her mother. She said she might be able to exist on love, etc, but from ber knowledge of men, she knew they needed something more sub stantial to keep their blood in condition. Her would-be husband told her there wonld be no difficulty getting a job in some other city, ana proposed that they elope to Cincinnati. HE WAS IN IT, TOO. The young man told the other young man what he proposed to do, and was surprised that the other also intended to elope with his sweet heart, and was calmly awaiting the opportu nity. He proposed that tbey all go together, and thought they would he able to get mar ried and live cheaper at wholesale rates. The scheme was broached to tbe girls, and on ac count of tbe novel Idea they here "in it" Wednesday noon was fixed for the time of tak ing their departure and the unpaid board bill. Yesterday the two girls, with their lovers, ate dinner as usual and stole out of the house. Like good young ladies tbey forttot to wash the dinner dishes, and this gave the snap away. After they had gone from tbe house Mrs. Mc Guire thought tbere was something wrong, and began to investigate. She traced tbe two girls with tbe young men to the Union station, and arrived there in time to capture one couple. The yaung ladies met tbe yonng men by ap pointment, and after securing tickets tbey ar rived at tbe Union station to take the 3:45 train for Cincinnati. Peters and Maggie got out on the platform all right and took their seats in the train. ADout this time a hitch in the pro gramme occurred. Sadie retnsed to elope any further, and said she wanted to bid her mother goodby. Protestations and entreaties were of no avail, thejgirl refusing to budge. MBS. M'GITIKE APPEARS. As two is company and three is a crowd, the young man could not go with the other two. neither could he elope by himself. He tried to get his girl to reconsider her wish and wanted her to send her goodbvrom Cincinnati, after they were married. She wouldn't budee an inch and wanted to go home. Young Hall was making mind bets with himself whether or not marriage was a failure, when an unexpected scene occurred. Mrs. Mc Guire loomed up on tbe station horizon, and, seeing the yonng couple, flourished the board bill and folded her arms around her daucnter. She denounced the yonng man, and, as usual, a crowd gathered around them. Detective "Dick" Kelly was in the vicinity at the time and at the solicitation ot Mrs. McGuire he run young Hall in. The charge of suspicious per son was entered against tbe young man on the register at the Central. Mrs. McGuire inquired for ber other daugh ter, but found she bad taken flight on tbe train wbich pulled out while the scene was eoing on, on tbe station platform. Younc Hall will be given a hearing to-day and he will probably be released. WANTED TO GO TO JAIL, The Tronble n Man Had to Get la Where Many Desire to Get Ont. Shortly after the hearing at tbe Central sta tion was over yesterday morning a man giving his name as William Brown, his home 205 Bed ford avenne and his occupation peddler, en tered the station and asked SergeantMeyers to send him to jail. Mr. Brown stated that he had been drinking and wanted to go to jail to recover from tbe effects. Sergeant Meyers in formed the man that he had no authority to send him to jail and directed him to go np and consult Judge Griop. Mr. Brown departed, and In 15 minntes re turned with a commitment which consigned him to jail for five days. Tbe Sergeant then informed the eccentric individual that tnero was no one present who could take him to jail and bade him go up himself. This advice Mr. Brown took, and on the way up Diamond alley be became thirsty and offered to sell the com mitment to a pedestrian for 25 cents. This offer was, of course, refused, and Mr. Brown proceeded on his way, and at tbe jail handed the commitment to Dcpnty Warden Soffel and was consigned to a cell for five days.

The Idea in Inventing: the i&ollan "Was to make an instrument that a person could play without the years of practice made necessary by the use of the piano, and to have it in no way mechanical, but capable of delicate shadings of tempo and expression at will ot the performer. The jEolian is an embodiment of this idea, and upon it, with one week's practice, a person of no musical education can become a fine performer. The great feature of the in strument is the high class of music it per forms. The catalogue embraces nearly 5,000 pieces, including the symphonies, operas and overtures of all tbe great masters. The rendition ot these pieces is wonderfully accurate, and this seems to make tlieiEolian a wonderful educator for both old and yonng. Xne many thousands having musi cal taste and innate ability, but who are unable to give the years ol practice neces sary to enable them to perlorm with -the ac curacy demanded by their correct ear and cultivated taste, are, with the iEolian, able to gratify their love of music.

The Dnqnesne Can Build a.Koad on Larimer Street Uninterrupted. FBI0E TRACTION CLAIMS ARK DEHIED Pittsburg lawyers were strongly repre sented at the hearing before the Supreme Court at Harrisburg yesterday on the appeal oi the Pittsburg Traction Company from the decision of"tbe Allegheny County Court re fusinj to grant an injunction restraining the city of Pittsburg from interfering with the construction of its lines on Larimer street in accordance with a charter issued by tbe State. Those present were Colonel William A. Stone, D. T. "Watson, John M. Kennedy and Charles H. McKee represent ing the Duquesne Traction Company; George A. Shiras II. 'and John McCleave, repre senting the Pittsburg Traction. Mr. C. L. Magee was present during a partion of the argument, and Solicitor Moreland and ex Solicitor Bigelow sat it through. ABGTJMEKZS OF COUNSEL. Mr. Shiras maintained that his company was entitled to construct its line on Lari mer street because of the priority of its charter, notwithstanding the action of Conn. ells in giving the company under the control of the Duquesne company the right to lay down a track on the tborongbfare. Mr. Sblras mas followed by Mr. Watson, who somewhat amplified the argument be made be fore tbo Allegheny County Court on the same subject John G.Johnston, of Philadelphia, made the closing argument wbich was much stronger than bis effort at Pittsburg. No new points were developed. Judge Paxson suggested that nothinc would be gained by action of tbe Court on the appli cation for a preliminary injunction, and it the counsel on both sides of the caso acreed a de cision would be made as if this were a final hearing. He also stated that such disposition ot tne matter wonld probably Co more satisfac tory to all concerned. Jl final decision. A consultation was then bad between the lawyers, and an agreement was reached in ac cordance with the views expressed by Judge Paxson. The Court then retired, and in an hour and a half filed the following: "Decree affirmed, and the appeal is dismissed at tbe cost of the appellant and an opinion will he filed later.

Tbo Western Pennsylvania Aid Society to Meet To-Dny-Grent Demand by Child leu People for Llttlo Waif. Work of the Orsanlzitlon. The Western Pennsylvania Children's Aid Society will hold its annual meeting to-day in the Dispensary building on Sixth avenue. This will be really the first annual meeting of the society held. The meeting last year was postponed on account of the Johnstown flood. For a time before its organization the work done by tbe society was performed by ladles who were delegated by tbe Philadelphia so ciety. One day their services were suddenly dispensed with, and the work was discontinued. I he ladies getting no satisfactory explanation from tneir Philadelphia sisters turned in and formed a society of tbeir own. The district comprises nine counties, and re- Sorts .from each one will be made to-dav. Tho oard of Managers met yesterday and mada arrangements for the election to-day. There port of the treasurer was also read. The pres ent officers are: Mrs. Arehln ll.i.. JL., dent; Mrs. H. C. Campbell. Secretary; Mrs W P. Price. Treasurer; Mrs. Parker Blood. Vico President About 40 delegates are expected, and a number of ladles arrived last eveuing and registered atthe Seventh Avenue Hotel. Mrs. Blood, in speaking of tbe work of the society, said: "I am unable at present to give any general figures as to what was done last year. Allegheny, of conrse, will come to tne front with the largest number of children cared for, and the other counties will follow in tbe rear. Tbe object of this society is to pro vide a home for homeless children. We have no objection to orphan asylums, but we think tbat tbe children reared in homes grow np to feel tbat they aro not panpers as they do In the large institutions. There are more demands for children from childless peo ple than the society can supply. Tbere is an element of selfishness as well as charity in all this. People feel tbat tbey must bave some thing to love. I remember at the time of the Johnstown flood any number of applications were made for waifs. Some of them were gen uinely pathetic A widow in Florida who was In poor circumstances and bad four children to keep, wrote to us tbat she could care for an other. This is only a sample of the letters re ceived. We feel that the society is doing a, great work." The Sulphur Wnter Snlclde. A partial inquest was held by Coroner Mc Dowell yesterday on the body of Mrs. Amelia Krouse. of Warner street, Allegheny, who com mitted snlclde by soaking tbe beads of matches in water and then drinkimr tbe water; also set ting fire to her clothing.
