A CUSTOM GROWING IN FAYOR When Nature's Gladdest Hood is Gladdest to Call the Attention of Ionia TO THE BEAUTIES OP GOD'S WOEES To-morrow is Children's Day throughout Christendom. Churches everywhere are lalllnj into the idea of devoting one day of the year to a service for the children, and by common consent the second Sunday of June has been set apart for this purpose. No wore appropriate day in the year could be selected. Nature is now at her best. It is the time of the singing of birds and of flowers, and it is well that the little ones should be specially remembered in our services of song and prayer at this season of the year. One of the facts which stands out In the lives of the good and great of all times is tbelr sympathy with childhood. A few specimens are gathered from the writ ings of the witnesses who in their day were valiant for the troth. First of all stands the Master's words. "Tate heed that ye despise rot one of these little ones, fori say unto yon that their angels do always behold the fall of Sly Father which is in heaven." LOOKING FOBWABD, NOT BACKtVABD. "In old days there were angels wcocame and took men by the hand and led them an ay from the city of destruction. We see no white winged angels now. But yet men are led away fruin threatening destruction: a hand is put into theirs which leads them forth toward a calm and bright land, so that they look no mare backward: and the hand may be a little child's."

COLLTEB TELLS. Robert Collyer, in a sermon to the children of his church in Chicago a few years ago, re lated the following: "Away off, I believe in Edinburgh, two gentlemen weie standing at the door of a hotel one very cold day, when a little boy, with a poor, thin, blue face, his feet bare and red with the cold and with nothing to cover him but a bundle of rags, came and said, 'Please, sir, and buy some matchesr 'Su. don't want any,' the geutlemau said. 'But they are only a penny a box,' the little tellow pleaded. 'Yes; but yon sec we don't want a box,' tbo gentleman said again. 'Then I will gle ye two boxes for a penny.' the boy said at last. 'And so to get rid of bio,' the gentleman, who tells the story in an English paper, says, I bought a box. But then 1 found I bad no change, so I said I will buy a box to-morrow.' 0 do buy tbem the merit, if you please,' the boy pleaded again. 'I will rin and get you the change for I am verra hungry.' SoIgaveh!m the shilling and he started away, and 1 waited for htm, but no boy came. Then I thought I had lost my shilling, but still there was that in the boy's face I trusted and I did not like to think bad of him. Well, late in the evening, a servant came and said a little bov wanted to see me. Wlien be was brought in I found it was a small brother of the bov that got my shilling, but, if possible,. still more ragged and poor and thin. "He Btood a moment diving into his rags, as if he was seeking something; and then said. 'Are yon the gentleman that bought the matches frae bandie?' 'Yes.' 'tVeel, then, here's four pence oot o' yer f hillin'. Sande canna come; he's no weel.

Sunday, May 25, after a sermon by the editor of the Advocate a sub scription was taken for this pnrpose, which was continued by tbe pastor in tbe evening; and amounted to over 4,000. Both pastor and peo ple are, in earnest, and a good church will be built. IN 1S39 the male membership of Congrega tional Churches was 29.4 per cent of the total. In 1828 it bad increased to 23.5 per cent, tbe pro portion being highest in the West. In Kansas 41 in every 100 cburch members are men, and in Maine only 29 in 100. Tbe power of the gospel is Increasingly felt in business and political life, and a growing proportion of leaders in public affairs are coming into church fellow ship. Dr. Joseph Parker, in the British Weekly, writes an open latter to Rev. Charles Spurgeon, telling him that he is surrounded by flatterers who laugh at his jokes and feed him with com pliments. Dr. Parker says to him, "Scatter your ecclesiastical harem." Mr. Spurgeon. in the Sword and- Trowel, declares that ministers who preach Broad Church doctrines in Calvin istic pulpits are "villains." Both these eminent divines seem to have forgotten, lor tbe time, tbat "knowledge puffeth up, but love edj fieth." Medical mission work goes on in Persia. The medical missionary of the Church Mission ary Society writes: "The sick people come to tut from 200 miles.

The clergyman can J hardly go anywhere, but to the medical men every door is open, the secrets of every heart are revealed. Medical missions can win the day for the Lord." One of the strangest phenomenaof tbe times is tbe assault upon Calvin's theology from teachers in the Calvinistic churches. Such at tacks as are now common in Presbyterian weeklies and ecclesiastical assemblies have heretofore been characteristic of those who re jected tbe fundamental propositions of Calvin s theology. Mow there are theologians who ac cept the fundamental fact of his theologj the absolnte sovereignty of God and then repudi ate its legitimate and inevitable consequences. Obsener. To work up charity balls, fairs and festivals, grab-bags, ring-cakes and calico neckties for socials, is not the demand for Africa yet. These foolish, empty things will never convert and re deem tbe cannibal kings of Africa. When Jesus sent out His 120 missionaries, full of the Holy Ghost, to christianize and civilize a world, they sold their possessions, throw the whole on tbe altar of Uod and went at It. They would have died forever forgotten if they had gone into tbe modern church festival method ot propagating Christianity. Banner of Soil ness. The following Is from Dr. Talmage: What did intolerance do against the Methodist Church? That church was persecuted and nearly all the pulpits of Great Britain closed against her ministers. The very name of that church was given in aerision. There are in tbe Ator Library, New York, I am told, 707 books and pamphlets against Methodism, kept there merely as a curiosity. Did intolerance destroy the Methodit Church? She stands either first or second, 1 do not remember which, in num bers in all the eartt, while she has her men, not only in places of religious trust but of secular trust. A meeting was held In Exeter Hall, Lon don, recently by the English Church Mission ary Society, when farewell was said to Bishop Crowther and IS missionaries who were depart ing for Africa, for the Niger and the Soudan, and Eastern Africa. Ten of the missionaries wero University men. This meeting is an evi dence of the immense Interest excited In Afri can missions in England. The missionary Journals of that country are full of the subject, and the January and February numbers ot the AIutonary Ifieaner, the organ of the Church Missionary Society, are devoted entirely to this branch of the work. When you call a Presbyterian a revisionist, or an anti-revisionist, you must be particular after this to specify just what you mean. A dispatch from Saratoga goes on to classify the assembled divines somewhat as follows: Henry Van Dyke, radical revisionist; Francis Patton, Conservative anti-revisionist: Herrick Johnson, moderate revisionist; Dr. Patterson, strong anti-revisionist; Elder Henry bayles, mild revi sionist; Elder Henry Day, out-and-out revi sionist. There appear to ne about as many wln-s as there are Hlgbland'clans answering to tbe "name of MacGregor. But there is evi dently no general disposition to throw John Calvin overboard.

AFTER 100 TEAKS' WAIT. Somhslde Rlpnrlans See n Great Light nnd Want to Bnsk In It, For 100 years the inhabitants of the lower end of Robinson, Moon, and the whole of Crescent township and the rest of the terri tory bordering on the Ohio river, as far as Aliauippa, have been climbing a hill 400 feet high and going three miles out or their way to reach this city by wagon, though previous to the construction of the Pittsburg aud Lake Erie Bailway, they might have had a level road all the way. Now when they see their lolly they must try the Neville Island route, which will be a good thing for the islanders, but will cost the county $10,000 iu bridges.

The pro posed road will be 60 feet iu width, and the land owners have mutually agreed to give free to the public the necessary land with shade trees and shrubbery along the borders, for an attractive drive.

THE TEMPLES OF JUSTICE And Places to Confine the Law Breakers of Allegheny County BDILT DURING THE PAST CENTURY. Tho First and Second Court Houses and the Primitive Jails. NEW" PACTS EEQAED1KG OLD THINGS ("WRITTEN FOE TUX StSFATCn.1 Gone, glimmering through the dream Of things that were. , Byron Child Harold! Pilgrimage. Three court houses and five jails have been erected in the city of Pittsburg since this county's organization on the 24th of September, 1788. All the judges, except the last president law judge, Hon. Benja min Patton, Jr., who presided in the first Court House, are dead. Few, very few mem bers of the old bar who practiced in this first Court House survive. In order to know the history of our sub ject fully, the following particulars are first mentioned: In the laws ot Pennsylvania, vol., 2, 1781-1790, page 448, is the act of Assembly of September 24, 1788, relating to the organization of this conntyof Allegbenv.and in the same volume.U an act for annexing part of the county of Wash ington to Allegheny. Also, in this same volume, in a foot note, reference is made to the sections omitted in this act, among them section 8, to the effect that "Trustees of the public buildings are to choose lots in the reserved tract opposite Pittsburg to erect a Court House and prison on." The preamble of the supplemental act of April 13, 1791, gives reasons why the Court House and jail should be erected in Pittsburg, and the first section of this act repeals the act of Septeni. bcr 24, 1788, wherein authority is given the trustees therein named, or any of them, to erect a Court House and prison on any part of the reserved tract opposite Pittsburg. pittsbubg's borough chaster. Pittsburg was created by the Legislature a borough, out of a part of Pitt township, April 22, 1794, and made a city March 18, 1816. It then had two wards. On Decem ber 18, 1829, it was divided into four wards, North, East, South and West, and the names of these wards were changed to num bers on March 1, 1837. The Peun family, during the American Revolution, were adherents to the Brtish crown, and the Legislature of Pennsylvania confiscated all their property, except certain manors. Pittsburg and the county east ward and south of the Monongahela river, containing about 5,900 acres, comprised one ot these manors. The agent for' the Penns, Tench Frances, Esq., arranged to lay out the manor of Pittsburg in lots and to speed ily sell them. For this purpose, he engaged the services of George Woods, an eminent surveyor of Bedford, Pa. From that time on Pittsburg commenced its prosperous career. March 31, 1784, George Woods surveyed the town of Pittsburg. Iu the Becorder's office will be found "plan of tbe town of Pittsburg, Fa., and depositions in relation thereto." This plan is designated, viz.: "A plan of the town of Pittsburg, laid out May. 1784; original draft kept by Thomas Victroy. This draft presented to the city of Pittsburg December 16, 1841, by Thomas Vickroy." In this plan appears the old Diamond Square. Diamond alley touches the side of this square toward Wood street. On the op posite side Diamond alley runs a short dis tance, where it is intersected by a street or alley unnamed, between Fourth and Liberty streets. Diamond alley then proceeds and The Second Jail enters Liberty street. Market street, begin ning at Water street on the Monongahela river, and, in turn, intersecting Front street. Second, Third and Fourth 'streets, ends above Fourth street at this side of the Dia mond Square, and, ou the opposite side,con tinues and passes across Fifth street into Liberty street. In the original plan Dia mond Square is not entered by Diamond al ley or Market street TITLE XO COURT HOUSE SITE. The right or the title of the county of Al legheny to the premises occupied by its Court House on the western side of Market street, passing through the Diamond Square (and whether this Market street was per mitted to run through this square by con sent or not, or whether it was illegally run through this square, is not as yet res adjudi cata) was founded upon what was decided in alter years to be this species of right or title by Chief Justice Gib son, of the Supreme Court of Penn sylvania, in the case of the Common wealth versus Bowman and Duncan. The foundation of the right of a county to reasonable accommodation for its Court House and public offices iu the great square of the comnty town, is based upon one of the usages of our State, which has acquired the consistence of law, and the extent of the right is limited to the single purposes sanc tioned by that usage." According to the usage alluded to, the county ot Allegheny, with the assent and co-operation of the city of Pittsburg, ereoted its first court house without having any fee simple title to the ground upon which the building stood. So long as these premises were occupied by this Court House or an other in its place, provided the buildings were always used as courthouses, tbe county had a right and title of occupancy of the premises. This is the place. Stand still, my steed. Let me review the scene, And summ on from tbe shadowy past Tbe forms that once have been. Longfellow. THE OLD TEMPLE OP JUSTICE. The site of the first Court House was on the ground now occupied bythe city Market House in toe uiamona square (western side), and opposite Old City Hall in this square. In a reasonably short time after the passage ot the act of April 13, 1791, the construction of this Court House was com menced. The ground ot this site required no pile driving (like the new United States Court House in this city) to support the foundation of the stone cellar walla of the edifice. The superstructure was of brick over these walls, surmounted with layers of cut stone where necessary for strength or ornament. The main building was of mod erate dimensions, of square shaped form, two stories high, and had a hipped shingle roof, upon the center of which was erected one of the olden-time pointed frame sieeples with ball and weather Vane on its summit. A good toned bell hung in this steeple, as was customary in those times. This bell was rung lor court purposes, church-going, fire alarms, public meetings, school attend ance, etc. Externally, this Court House presented a neat and attractive appearance with its white painted woodwork, handsome red brick and clean-cut stone trimmings. The main entrance was ot Grecian style, with white Corinthian pillars, supported on an elevated and neat shaped stone platform, approached by easy and well arranged stone steps. On each side of the front of this main building extended a one-storied brick wing, having sloping or gable shingled roofs. These wing buildings were on a level with the sidewalk in front ot them, and were re spectively entered by door on the front, and lighted by windows on either side of these doors and elsewhere. Of the wing build ings, the one on the right contained the Pro thonotary's offices, and on tbe left the Be corder's, Register's and Clerk of Courts' offices. HOW IT WAS ARRANGED. In the main building the County, Com PITTSBURG- DISPATCH, missioners' and Treasurer's offices were on the right of the vestibule in the front en trance and the Sheriffs office opposite to the left. A door In the back part of the vestibule, facing the entrance, gave access to the court room on tho first floor and stair cases on tho right and left in this vestibule led up and gave access to the second story. There were two large windows on the front of the main building on tbe first story, the main entrance being between them, and on the front of the second story were five win dows, properly and symmetrically arranged. The other portions of this building bad win dows iu the sides and rear, where requisite. n the first aud second stories. The court room, on the first floor, was large. It was floored with brick tile, and naa a joooy at tne staes ior spectators, suitors, jurors summoned and attending wit nesses. In this lobby were plain benches next the walls for seat's, which, in the last years of the court house, were removed. One large circular window was behind the judi cial bench in the back part of this court room, and, in the rear sides of the same, two windows on each side gave additional light. A small gallery was at the sides, which was reached by staircases in convenient places. A neat, medium high, paiuled board fence closed in the bar lrom this lobby. The clerk's desk was central in its position in front of the judicial bench. A semi-circular counsel table, with stationary seats, was conveniently placed for barristers in attend ance or trying a case. The prisoners' box was in the inside, to the right of the lawyers' ana. The jury box was to the left of the judicial bench. The height of the first story was about 25 feet. ON THE SECOND 8TORT were the court room for the Recorder's courf, a large grand jury room and trial jury retiring rooms. At various times this grand jury room was used as. a court room for county purposes, when not occupied for its own uses; also by the United States Courts and the Supreme Court of the State when needed. At such times this grand jury room was temporarily fitted up as a court room On this story, also, an insolvent debtor's court was held in one of the rooms oc casionally. There was a concealed staircase for getting xn the rool, as well as a place and arrangement lor ringing the Court House bell. The various rooms had plain board floors. The height of this story was about 18 feet. The Court House was lightod artificially by common tallow candles, and on extra ordinary occasions by mold candles. In cold weather it was warmed by large stoves heated with bituminous coal. On Sundays, church services were held In the first story court room. Sometimes lectures were de- The First Jail livered in this court room, and also public meetings held in it The court or grand jury room in the second story was occa sionally used for giving public entertain ments "and exhibitions. The population of the whole of Allegheny county was then very, very small. The Court House was completed in April, 1794, The President law judges who held court iu this Court House were Hons. Alexander Addison, Samuel Roberts, William Wil kins, Charles Shaler, Trevanian B. Dallas aud Benjamin Patton, Jr. (all deceased ex cept Benjamin Patton, Jr.). Of the lawyers of this Court House now deceased may be mentioned Messrs. Biddle, Burke. Kingston, Forward, tbe Fettermans and others. 01 the bench aud bar nearly all have gone to "The undiscovered country from whose bourne no traveler returns." THE SECOND COUNTY BUILDING. By the act of Assembly April 9, 1833, the Commissioners of Allegheny county were authorized to sell at public or private sale all the real estate owned by this county and to apply the proceeds to the purchase of ground in the city ot Pittsburg and the erection of suitable buildings thereon for the use of said county of Allegheny. By deed dated November 10, 1841, William J Lea, John Patterson and John Morrison, Commissioners, conveyed to the city ot Pittsburg for the sum of $575 all their in terest in the first Court House and its prem ises. The recitals in this deed, inter alia, are that on August 11, 1841, this Court House was exposed to sale at public vendue or outcry and sold with the appurtenances to William Eichbaum for the above snm; that William Eichbaum for this sum on August 18, 1841, assigned all his right, etc., to this Court House to the city of Pittsburg, and tbat said county sells this property to the city of Pittsburg "for such estate and under such condition as the said county of Allegheny at the time of the sale aforesaid had and held the same." In 1840-41 the one-story wine buildings of the old Court House were torn down to give room for market purposes, the various county offices therein, baving been previously re moved to new offices in the then second Court HoBSe. The main building of the old Court House was discontinued for court pnrposcs iu 1842-43, and was used as a mar ket house for a .number of years, until torn down in 1852, when the present three-story btick Market House was erected on its site. THE FIBST JAIL. According to all accounts this jail was very roughly constructed. It is handed down by tradition that it was an old log bouse. However, it sufficed its time until increase of population required a better one. The act of Assembly of April 13, 1791, an- Ihe First Court Souse. thorized and required the Commissioners of Allegheny county to purchase lots in the town of Pittsburg on which to erect a Court House and jail. In N. B. Craig's history of Pittsburg mention is made of the old jail, corner of Fourth and Market streets, in the year 1796. This old first jail becom ing worthless, was succeeded by the second one. Yet prisons thoncb It Is too true They're evils still are blessings too; For without tbem, this world would be Ono scene of crime and anarchy. The County Commissioners by act of Assembly of February 26, 1817, were em powered to sell and convey part of a lot of ground in the city of Pittsburg, together with the jail erected thereon. This second jail was erected on ground back of the first Court House, already described, and fronted toward Jail alley, now Decatur street. The premises on which this prison was built would now be within the rectangular plot of ground bounded by Ferry, Diamond, Deca tur streets and Fourth avenue, formerly Fourth street. DKSCEIPXION OP SECOND JAIL. From all accounts this prison was of .MM-WA A.WVM t,nttt Jf ll.n. . 1 f theight, and had A shingle roof, Its windows igCTliiiai SATURDAY, JUNE 7, were secured by iron bars, and platform stone steps led up to its entrance door. Underneath tbisstructure was astone-walled cellar. In dimensions this jail was small, and, although far superior to its predecessor, it could not be regarded as a very secure structure for purposes of incarceration. However, it suited that time, and, was dis continued on the completion of the third jail, which was annexed to the second Court House in 1843. Tho premises of this second jail and its structure were sold by the Com missioners of this county, subsequently. In the absence pf official estimates, the cost of the erection of the first Court House, and first and second jails, may be computed as not exceeding $25,000. Owing to the fire of Sunday noon, May 7; 1882, which partially consumed the second Court House, some olden time records, which might give these particulars, have been either lost or dis placed for ready reference.

"Thousands of people who throng Du quesne way have remarked on the dirty character of the street iu the immediate vi cinity of the Exposition buildings," said a citizen yesterday afternoon who has fre quently traveled the thoroughfare in ques tion and observed the peculiar uses to which the highway is put. "All along the water front for a distance of several squares Du qnesne way is a common dump.

"Approach the avenue from any direc tion you choose, and the offensive view greets the eye in all its ugliness. Many Tipnnln have commented on this unpleasant condition of things in my hearing, and there is a clamor for a relief from the bugbear. There must be a change. 'Several business concerns on Duquesne way utilize the levee, which is city proper ty, for a repository where they can unload a lot of stuff that is not beautiful to behold by a great deal, and the thing ought to bo stopped. "The abuse is not confined to making a dump out of Duquesne way, but it is carried even further, and in a more obnoxious way. Heavily ladened teams back up and drive over what little sidewalk there is, and have practically ruined the place for decent loot travel. Besides visitors to the Exposition building must run a gauntlet of old iron, broken machinery and" cast off materials in numerable that line the sidewalks like so many pitfalls. "The legitimate inference from this state of affairs seems to be that the vigilant eye Of Chief Bigelow has missed the condition of things iu Duquesne way, for he would cer tainly remedv the abuse if it were brought under his notice. "How much better and more profitable it would be if the whole water front between Sixth street and Mechanical Hall was transformed into a pretty park. That would lend an attractive view to the surroundings ot Duquesne way which could not be sur passed. The people are demanding it, and the change should be made." WHAT THE EEF0EM MEANS. It Will 6ave Nearly a Million Fngei of Wrltlnc In 20 Years. The scope of the reform proposed by the Bar Association looking to the pruning of deed and mortgage forms is probably pretty well understood by those interested. The report of the committee will be considered by the association to-day. The committee reports that it has eliminated from the forms such portions as tbe members consider su perfluous, retaining all that is essential in the present state of the law. It is recom mended that the receipt usually printed on the back of blank deeds be omitted, as it is contained in the body of the deed: that the memorandum is not a part of the deed, and, not being acknowledged, is not proper mat ter for record. S. A. Johnston, Esq., states tbat the com mittee has found on investigation that if its suggestions prevail there will be a saving in 20 years of what would make 1,300 volumes of 600 pages each ot purely superfluous verbiage. This would not only be a saving of a vast amount of storage room, but of 780.000 paces of transcribing. Mr. John ston calls attention to the fact that it is "be yond the power of one or a dozen men, no matter how eminent in the legal profession to make the reform, as when a lawyer sets about to make a legal instrument his pur pose Is to make it so plain, even by a multi plicity of words, if necessary, that it means but one thing and cannot by any possibility mean anything else, and this has contributed to fasten the redundant verbiage on the profession. Then every word cm ployed in conveyancing has received a legal construction, and were a lawyer, however eminent, to depart from the established cus tom, some other one would be almost sure to except and make trouble. If, however, lawyers generally agree, the change 'from the old to the new can be made without friction. FEETY-TWO YEABS OF MATBMONi Celebrated at Lecchburg by Henry K. DIc Knlllp and Wife and Tholr Children. Henry K. McKallip and wife celebrated the fifty-second anniversary of their mar riage at their home at Leechburg on Thurs day. A1.1 their children were present to extend congratulations. They were L. S. McKallip, a well-known Pittsburg firebrick dealer; Amanda C, wife of T. A. Arm strong, Leechburg; Bev. John K. Mc Kallip, pastor of the Presbyterian Church, Beaver, Pa.; Joanna T., wife ofBobert ,Pinkerton, Sharpsburg, Pa.; James A. Mc- Ii.allip, LieecitDurg; Mary it., wile or H. M. Caldwell, of S;uin, Pa and Henry F. McKallip, of Pittsburg. A number of grandchildren and friends were also present. The senior McKallip is in his eighty second year and his wife in her seventy third. Both are hale and hearty and bid fair to celebrate their diamond wedding. The seven children are following in their parents' footsteps in tho line of health and other golden weddings are promised a quar ter of a century further on in tbe McKallip family. The fifty-second anniversary was in every respect a success and all who joined in it will long remember tbe auspi cious occasion. Thnl Ballot Box Scrutiny. Commissioner John D. Shafer and the parties in interest in the Stayton-Wyman contest for the Allegheny Mayoralty con tinued the work of examining the ballot boxes in the Allegheny lockup yesterdav. but Mr. Shafer said there was nothing found to make any report upon, so far at least, nothing of public interest. If it was possible to go through life with out once taking a cold, many of the minor and not a few of the more serious ills of life would be avoided. But since it is idle to hope for so happy an exemption, it is well to remember that Dr. D. Jayne's Expector ant is a sure curative lor ooughs and colds, asthma and bronchitis. i Excursion to Ohio Prlo To-morrow, Sunday. Bate, $1 0 the round trip. Train leaves' B. & O. depot at 8 A. M.

RUMORS OP WASHOUTS ALL DAY, That Were Eeported by the Operators to Eallroad Officials. THE SEWS GLEANED FE01I THE COURTS The case of Tarbell versus the Pennsyl vania Eailroad was continued in Common Pleas Court No. 2 yesterday. Train Dis patcher Culp testified at length to the move ment of trains over the Pennsylvania Bail road, Yardmaster Walkinshaw, of the Conemaugh yards, told of the location of the road. On the day of the flood he rushed to the hill and saw some of the Pennsyl vania Bailroad cars washed away. He heard nothing of the fear of the breaking of the South Fork dam. Yardmaster Marshall, of the West Penn road, was a passenger on the day express, and described the condition of affairs at Conemaugh before the flood. Miss Emma Ebrenfeld. telegraph operator at South Fork, testified that she went on duty at 7 A. M. on May 31, 1889. It had been raining very hard, and she noticed tbe streams were swollen. During the morning she held a telegraphic conversation with the operator at Mineral Point. She had no definite knowledge of a flood, and did not know the dam had given way. TALK 07 THE DANGER. She heard some men in the office talcing of the danger of a flood, and telegraphed that to Mineral Point. About noon a man named J. P. Wilson gave her a telegram to be sent to Pittsburg, But as there was no di rect line she sent it to Mineral Point. It was about the danger of a flood. On cross examination she stated that she did not re member of a Mr. Dougherty sending a mess age in tbe afternoon. W. A. Pickrell, operator at Mineral Point, was the next witness, and testified that on the morning of May 31, 1889, at 10 o'clock, he noticed that the wires were down between Mineral Point and Pittsburg. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, in some mysterious manner, he got an open line to Pittsburg, and sent a message to Superin tendent Pitcairn. TALKED WITH SOUTH FOBS. During the forenoon he had a telegraphic conversation with Miss Ehrenfeld, the operator at South Fork, but she could give him no definite information about the flood. The witness received two messages from South Fork. The first was sent to tele graph station "A-O," by a messenger named Bicbard, and the other one he managed to get through by wire to Conemangh. He also sent a message himself, notifying the railroad authorities of reported washouts along the line. Lewis Busher, who was foreman of a road gang on tbe Conemaugh Division on the day of the flood, was put on the stand, and testified to the washouts on the road. While this witness was on the stand court ad journed for the-day. AMONG THE TEAN6GBESS0ES. Somo Whd Plead Gollty nnd Save Some of the Coart'a Time. In the Criminal Court, yesterday, Bobert Welder was found guilty oi felonious as sault on a 10-year-old child. Thomas Haws, convicted of larceny, was sent to the work bouse for six mouths.

In the case of Harry Moore, tried for the larceny of $50 from Mrs. C. Jackson, At torney W. J. Brennen made a motion to quash the indictment. He stated that the, case had been prosecuted before the grand jury by Attorney Charles Fagan, instead of bythe Assistant District Attorney. Dis trict Attorney Johnston opposed the mo tion, stating tbat Mr. Fugau had acted for the Assistant District Attorney, and tbat the indictment was recognized as legal. Judze Collier dismissed the motion. The jury is out in the case. JOSEPH FLEMING'S WILL. The Manner In Which the Late Druggist's Property Is Dlrlded. The will of the late Joseph Fleming has been filed for probate. It directs that his real estate in Pittsburg be held in trust for IS yean by the executors, B. F. Sherman and G. S. Fleming. The income is to be divided equally among his six children, and at the end of 15 years tbe property is to be equally divided among them. His son George is directed, if be is so in clined, to purchase the drue business at No. 412 Market street. His residence property in Sewiekley is given to his daughter, Mrs. Hays. This house is siren Mrs. Hays "as a home for herself and her children," and it is de vised to her, "to be held Iree from all con trol of her present or any future husband; nor shall it be liable for any debts or en gagements of sueli present or Inture hus band."

A GEEAT TLHE-8AVEB. One of the Good Effects of District Attorney Johnston's Innovation. The effect of the new system in operation in trying cases in the Criminal Court was fairly demonstrated during the past week, even though it is still new. Though there have only been four days of jury trials and but one court running, 56 cases were dis posed of. , In further proof of the efficiency of District Attorney Johnston' innovation. there was but one verdict for acquittal out or tbe whole 56 cases. This is accredited to the weeding out of unnecessary witnesses by the District At torney's clerks before tbe trial, thus getting tbe prosecution's evidence before the jury in concise and direot form, without tbe cumu lative and irrelevant testimony which otten, in prolonged trials, bewildered the jurors.
