: ' - THE FTTTSBTJKG- DISPATCH, "WEDNESDAY. JUNE 18. 1S90. PfflGMREDS, The Fag Ends of Censns Enumerators' Kcporis Kelied Upon to Bring Pittsburg's Population UP TO WHAT IT OUGHT TO BE. Supervisor Oliver Positive That His Force Will After All Make a Terj Good Showing. V BOW SOME CEKSDS-TAKERS WOEKED. The Poorest Kind cf Heresay Evidence Depended Upon ia Many Cues. Comment on the evident fact that the coming censns would not show Pittsburg's population to be us large as it is confidently believed to be was quite general yesterday. The instances of omissions from the lists of enumerators that were quoted in yesterday's Dispatch opened the eyes of many to the fact that it they were so lrequent that a short investigation revealed so much lack ing, what most be the exact number, if an exact and accurate census could be ob tained? Of the names given as omissions, several were reported at the office of the Supervisor &s having been included in the reports of some enumerator or other. But in no in stance was it claimed or proven that the person named had been personally seen or any information as to his antecedents or family of any kind obtained direct from the only ones who were able to give the proper information. A GOOD DEAL OF HEABSAT. One Allegheny enumerator called at The DrsrATCH office to correct the report that he had missed one name on the printed list. He claimed he had the name mentioned, and that he had obtained it from "the lady of the house." As the gentleman whose name was given has lived in his present home but two weeks, it may be conjectured just bow capable his landlady was to inform the enumerator even approximately as to ihe 30 answers required by law concerning the new boarder, his wife and child. It may be set down that the statistics of that little family, as returned to the supervisor, are not worth the paper on which they were written, and which, it should be remem bered, are sworn to as to their correctness. Another enumerator reported that an en tire street which it was said was missing he had not yet canvassed, which was exactly what was printed in The Dispatch. It was that very fact which was dwelt upon as an illustration of the way in which the cen sus of Pittsburg is being taken. This same enumerator claimed to have reported the statistics of three families upon whom re porters had called and by whom they were told no call of a census taker had been made at their homes. KOT EXACTLY POSTED. The three families named reiterate their statement, and say that if any mention of them appears in the censns reports it mnst have been made up from information gleaned from neighbors, none of whom were ever posted as to the number of persons contained in their families, let alone the equally im portant statistics otherwise required to be annotated on the census blanks. "Do'you reallv think you got every name in your district?" was asked yesterday of no less than half a dozen enumerators. The reply invariably, given with a sarcastic smile, was: ".No, indeed; that was au im possibility; but X did the best I could." The Allegheny enumerator quoted above said he could not ba in twenty different places at the same time. He would call at a honse and be told there was no one home just then; to call at supper time. He couldn't be at every house in his district "at supper time," so he would have to trust to luck in getting the names he was after from some servant or neighbor, "or," he added, "J. would never have halt covered my dis trict in the allotted time." This is precisely the point made by those who tear that i'lttsburg, instead or showing up with 250,000 to 262.000 population, will iall far short of the iormer figure. They claim the time was too short, some of the districts too hard to cover in twice the time, and a lot of discouraged enumerators trying to get rid of a thankless task as quickly as possible. SCARED AT THE START. Another reason for the difficulty in ob taining correct information was generally spoken of yesterday. It was the tact that when it was first learned there were at least six lmnertinent and needless questions to be propounded, a universal protest went up, so loud and so deep that a string was tied to the questions and they were partly pulied back ont of the reach of the attacks that were being made upon them. But the news of their having been printed on the blanks had become so widespread that an 'antag onism arose to the entire system of census taking, and more than one enumerator has been told that if he didn't "have to" an swer six of the questions he would be blamed it he had to answer the other 24. This made the work tedious and caused many delays. Of all the comments heard yesterday, there were none against the local officials. The howl that is going up is not against the men, but against the system. Mr. Oliver, indeed, was oltcn highly complimented for the patience he has shown under the most aggravating circumstances, and his earnest attempts toIiave the census as complete and accurate as possible. AMUSISG, BUT AGGRAVATING. It was rather amusing to see bow many people could yesterday recall instances of houses which had been missed by the enumerators on their rounds, and of many others whose inmates had been vouched for by neighbors who knew practically nothing whatever about the lamilies whose pedi grees they attempted to give. But to those who take a pride in Pittsburg' making as good a show as possible, the instances were more aggravating than humorous. One enumerator assured a DISPATCH re porter that he knew of cases where enumer ators had taken their blanks before starting out on a day's work and filled in all of the answers they thought they could nith safety, especially in cases of families with whom they were well acquainted. These answers thus obtained were of course never verified, for the manner in which they were written was merely to save time. Another enumerator had a peculiar griev ance. He said the maps of the city which are pasted in the portfolios to guide the census-taker as to the boundaries of his dis trict, were rather ancient affairs. He had lost halt a day by working a street that was on his map, but which he afterward discov ered to be in another ward. THINKS HE tVILL GET ALL. Mr. Oliver was somewhat aggrieved yesterday, feeling that some things said of the census reflected on him. He said: "I think I ought not to talk to you newspaper men any more. "What has already been printed is enough to last tor three months. The time given was short, but I think the work has been lafrly well done. "When it is finished, I am satisfied that nobody will beleltout." Some oi bis enumerators failed him alto gether. Others, who were appointed be cause of their activity in local politics, .were too ignorant to ao good "work, and their returns have been lonnd unfit to send to "Washington. In several cases good enumer ators, who finished their precincts early, have been sent out to go over the work of other men, either in whole or in part. Supervisor Oliver, when a reporter called upon him yesterday afternoon, was busy with one of his enumerators from the hill district. The enumerator was seated be side Mr. Oliver's desk, holding in his hand the bundle of his sheets. The Supervisor had procured the poll book of the election district which the enumerator had worked, and was reading the names from it, to learn if they had been caught by the census taker. "What the result of the examina tion was the reporter was nnable to learn. TROUBLE OVER BOAEDEES. A chief cause of complaint seems to be the manner in which boarding honses have been enumerated. In nearly all the cases the agent of Uncle Sam has interviewed only the landlady. She has been able to give the names of her boarders, their occupations and ages, but beyond that the enumerator has been left to fill out the blanks according to the dictates of his own sweet will. How many landladies can answer these questions: Place of birth? Place of birth of lather? Place of birth of mother? Number of years in the United States? In most cases the proprietors of boarding houses admit that they follow only their whims in answering these questions. The question is, what will be the value of statistics based upon such a method of col lection? A gentleman who lives on Van Braam street, in the Sixth ward, stated yesterday that not a single family on that street had yet seen an enumerator. This is probably one ot the streets which the agent has not yet reached, acting on the principle of the small boy tasting jams, who leaves the best for the last THEY ABE GETTING TTWRTl, Delegates to Ihe Amnltrnmated Association Desire to Go Home. Delegates to the Amalgamated Association Convention are tired and wish the convention wonld adjourn, in order that they may get back to their homes. A determined effort is being made to finish the business. So as to secure an adjournment by Saturday. There are a num ber of Important committees to re port, however, and they are not nearly readr. The only committee which has fli.isbed its work is the Committee on Claims. It reported yesterday morning, and and one ot its recommendations was that two lodges which are now behind in their dues be exonerated from payment as the members havo been idle from strikes. The report was adopted with little discussion, and the conven tion adjourned j esterday atll o'clock until this morning. The scale is being set up in a Southside printing office, bat owing to the many small changes made in the "Wage Committee's report, the scale will hardly be ready for presentation to the manufacturers before Friday afternoon. The delegates are once more discussing the advisability of building a hall for the use of the association. It is not probable, however, that say action win De taKen in me matter tnis year, as there is a general divercence of opinion as to w here the ball should be built. The Pittf burg delegates would never consent that it be built outside ofPittsbnrg.andthe Western delegates, who desire that the headquarters of the Amalgamated Association De removed farther "West, can muster sufficient strength to prevent the hall being built in Pittsburz. ILL-TREATED BIS WIFE. Mrs. Harry Corrlean Bad It Beaten br Her Drunken Hnsbnnd. Last night Officer Wachtcr. of the Franks town nollce district, was notified that Harry Comgan, who lives in a little shanty on Second avenue, near Greenfield avenue, had beaten his wife in a horrible manner. The officer went to the house and found Mrs. Corrigan lying on a bed In a terribly battered np condition, while the husband, who was in a wild state of Intoxication, was carrying on in a high-handed manner, smash ing furniture, etc Corriean was placed under arrest and was taken to the Hazelwood lockup, where the injured wife was also removed. Dr. Davis was called, and on examination found that Mrs. Corrigan had been kicked and beaten abont the body to such an extent that ber con dition, while not exactly dangerous, was ex tremely serious. Dr. Davis ordered Mrs. Comgan to be im mediately removed to a hospital, and the Homeopathic Hospital ambulance was called and the woman removed there. This Is the second time that Corrigan has endangered bis wife's life. Abont two months ago he stabbed her with acaaoknife. Corrigan is apuddler, and is said to be a dangerous man when be is anuKing. AK0HO THE TECHNICAL MUTDS. Engineer Society Alio Objects to a bfailonary Herrs Island Dam. The regular monthly meeting of the Western Pennsylvania Engineers' Society was held last night, with President W. KScaife in the chair. A communication was received from the Board ot Directors recommending that the society Enb-let its present rooms and accept tho rooms set aside for it by the Society of Science and Art, in the Thaw mansion. President Scaife explained they would probably get possession in August. The recommendation was adopted. Mr. Arthur next submitted a resolution re questing the United States Enjrlneor in Chief to instruct the engineer in charge of the con struction of the Herr's Island dam to so modify the plans as to make it a moveable dam instead of the old style crib or stationary dam, as at present designed. He said that to have a stationary dam wonld endanger all the prop erty along both the Pittsburg and Allegheny shores any time there should be high waters. Mr. P. Barnes, manager ot the steel depart ment of Jones t Laughlins' works, gave a short talk on rolling mill appliances. He explained the workings of the Brown crane used for sup plying pig metal from the metal yard to the cupolas, the ingot transfer apparatus and the hydraulic shears, showing the many points of engineering interest in each. SOMEWHAT OF A EC0KCHEE, And the Slcnnl Office Promises Warmer Weather for To-day. Yesterday was a scorcher, in common par lance, and the kind and considerate Mr. Stew art, of the Signal Service office, promises a few more degrees of beat for to-day, but it will be fair, he adds, as if to cheer up the depressed hearts of a sweltering public "We don't want to roast you alive at once," ho continued, with refined cruelty, "but will keep tacking on a few degrees every day, until we have an old fashioned, red-hot summer." Yesterday the maximum temperature reached was 86 in the shade about 3 o'clock in the after noon. Ihe minimum was 68 degrees in the morning. Mr. Stewart stated that May of last year was warmer tnan June of this summer. Outside ot the beat there is nothing peculiar about the weather, and after all the people will bear it with more patience when they become used to it. The hottest weather last summer was in June, wben, on the 20th, it reached 97 degrees, 9S on the 21st, and 96 on the 27th. MUSIC m A ST0EM. Torrents of Rnln Drench the Spectators at n Concert. Despite the rain tho first of the Highland Park concerts arranged by Mr. EL M. Bigelow, of the Department of Public Works, came oil last night. Everything was well arranged, and the electric lights as fixed by Morris Mead, of the Bureau of Electricity, and Superintendent Hoeveler. of the East End Electric Company, gave ample light. Over 2,000 persons wcro present. When the concert opened the rain came down in torrents, drenching everybody, but they stood it out. The concert was excellent in a musical sense, and the McCall Band, which had tUe honor of opening the new park, surprised the people by tneir superior playing. The concert will be re peated Saturday night and next Tuesday night. Had the weather last evening been propitious there would have been 10,000 people in the park. ADOPTED A LITTLE BABE. The Ilnmane Society Approves the Action of lis (secretary. The reading and approval of the reports of Agents O'Brien and Berryman was the only work done at the meeting of the Humane So city j esterday afternoon. Secretary Davidson reported contributions from H. Dewees Wood, 20; S. L. Fleishman & Co., $5; Mrs. W. H. Smith, SI; Miss Annetta Smith, SL The adoption by the society, through Secre tary Davidson, of the 2-weeks-old ooy of Bar bara Turrocozi, a Swedish girl, was approved. The unfortunate mother and child were sent to the society by Rev. Father Duffner, of the Southside, to whom she had applied. Sho said that for days before her child was born she had walked the streets unable to find a place to stay, baring been turned away from tbo honse she had been employed at.

That is How Manager C. E. Pugh Sizes Up the Eailroad Outlook. A LONGING EYE ON M'KEESPORT. One of the Soldiers' Orphan Schools to he Dropped This Tear. GOBIN THINKS DELAMATEil 18 LOSIKQ President George B. Eoberts, General Manager Charles E. Pugh, Chief Engineer "W. H. Brown, T. M. Ely, J. M. Harding and E. S. "Walton arrived in the city yes terday on the spring inspection of the Penn sylvania road. They eanie over the "West Penn road, and examined the work already done on the Ohio connecting bridge. To day they will visit McKeesport to see what can be done to get into that town. Said General Manager Pugh: "There is plenty of valuable freight in that town, and we would like to have some of it. Various plans have been suggested to get into the place, but nothing so far has been done. One scheme was to build a branch from Braddock, or a bridge across the river Irom the Pittsburg, Virginia and Charleston. The road has also made .some negotiations with the National Tube Works Companr, but nothing definite has been reached." IN THE NEAB FUTURE. The chances are that it won't be a long time before the Pennsylvania has terminal facilities in McKeesport. Mr. Pugh in dicated that in his talk. The terminal road, in which the National Tube Works Is lnter terested. will certainly be built. Mr. Pugh stated this was one of their regular inspecting tours, and it had no particular significance. When asked If It was true that the South west branch In tho coke country was to be double tracked this summer, he replied that nothing more would be done on it than tne nsnal amonnt of work. "" of the road near Youngwood has been double tracked, and the plans of the company are to improve the road all along the line. Consider able coal is being developed in Indiana county, and Mr. Pugh said that as soon as it was suffi cient to pay they would take care. Some sur veys have been made in that section, but the road keens oat a number of small surveying parties who are supposed to familiarize them selves with new routes and note the develop ment. Speaking of the outlook for the railroad busi ness, Mr. Pngh said it was fair, but It would not be as rnsbing as last year. LOOKS FOR NO CAS FAMINE. The Pennsylvania has built a number of new cars, and he doesn't anticipate a car famine this season. He said be usually gauged the prospects for tra file by the condition of the Iron trade in Pittsbnrg. It It is booming, it is generally safe to assume that the tonnage will be heavy. As for a new depot bere and the elevated track scheme he replied that there were many other things to think about, and new depots always cost more than many people imagine. He thought one of the first problems to settle was where to pnt it. He expressed himself as well pleased with the terminal facilities of the road in Pittsburg, and then he added that in bis opinion nobodv could complain of lack of railroad conmetltion in this city. One of the engineers stated that the work of double tracking the West Penn to the Alle gheny river, which had been discontinued for some time, would be resumed, and he expected that it wonld be finished in a few 'months. About five miles yet remain to be completed. CUTTING DOWN THE SCHOOLS. Work of the Soldiers' Orphan Commission One to be Closed This Yenr Senator Gobln Says Delamnler Is Losing Strength Hauling Not With Him. State Senator J. P. S. Gobin was at the Union depot for a short time last evening. He is a member of the Soldiers' Orphan School Commission, and was coming from Butler, where he had examined the school there. He was accompanied by Inspectors Greer and Miss Martin. Tbev went to Qreensbnrg last evening, where they expect to meet Captains Skinner and Davis and the others on the commission. The school near TJniontown will be inspected to-day. Senator Gobin expressed himself as well pleased with the Butler School. Since the old syndicate bad been abolished the schools were no longer worked, and the management was better and the children were better cared for. Tho work of the commission, he said, was to f co bow the number of schools could be re duced until they were all closed out. He didn't believe that more than one could be dropped this year, and that was tho White Hall School. The commission proposes to combine Mt. Joy and White Hall and reopen the school at Chester Springs. Turning to State politics Senator Gobin said: "I think Senator Delamater is losing ground every day. I don't believe he will be nominated, though it is a difficult matter to say what com binations will be worked. Senator Quay won't appear in tho contest any more than he has done. The fact is he can't afford to dictate and foist on the people a man agalpst whom there is so much opposition. I take no stock in the latest story that Hastings has entered into a dicker to throw his strength to Delamater if he sees he can't be nominated. Hastings' friends would desert him at once If that were true, because many of them who have worked so hard for bim did so under the supposition that he was against Del amater. N o, that is a ridiculous rnmor, and you can rest assured that there is no truth in it." MIGHT MAKE IT PAY "WELL. A Proposal to Get Work of Some Who Don't Want to Work, G. D. Packer. Esq., in reference to the propo sition to sell the City Poor Farm and remove the inmates to some place where land is cheaper, makes a suggestion worthy of consid eration. It is that none be allowed to lire at public expense, save those who are physically or mentally unable to care for themselves. The "bums," male and female, who take their recreation there when they feel too lazy to prey on the public, should he sent to the workhouse, not to make barrels, but to garden the farm. It shonld not be mcro recreation, but prontablo work. They could, if properly bandied, raise enough vegetables to supply not only the work house and support indigent cripples and in sane, but there wonld be a .surplus that could be sold to the penitentiary -authorities, or sent to some other market,and the proceeds covered into the city treasury. Those insane or other wise incapable of taking care of themselves could be kept in a large building in the city at less cost than at the Poor Farm, and be moie easily ana better taken care of than they are there, savingamongother,thlngs a vast amount oi car fare. Mr. Packer further remarks that the interest on the money derived from the sale ot the Poor Farm, wouldof itself be nearly, perhaps al togother.sufficient to support all who have really claims on the community. The Germans and some natives find gardening profitable, and the superior facilities within reach of the authorities, with abundant capital, wonld make it pay better, if honestly utilized than can pri vate enterprise. Airnlnst Orlginnl Packages. James Keene, of Dubuque, passed throngh the city yesterday bound for Washington. He represents the Iowa Prohibitionists, and be has a bill which he proposes to hare introduced in the House to knock cut the original package decision. N THE PEEACHEB DTN0CEHT. Aa Allegheny Pastor Discharged From Prison, Fnllr Kxonerntod. Conflicting statements were an interesting feature at yesterday's trial of Frank P. Foster, the pastor of the Fourth Ward Mission, who was charged with assaulting Joseph D. Elliot, shipping clerk In Lutz Bros.' Allegheny pickle establishment. After the cross-examination of tho witnesses the prosecutors concluded there was no evidence to hold Foster -and were will ing to let the matter drop. Ho was released. No evidence being shown as to anyone hit ting Elliot, J. J. Lutz made information charg ing his clerk with the robbery. Last night Eliot was released, and on inquiry nothing could be ascertained as, to his Implication in the matter. Congratalaied In a Wheelbarrow. There was great excitement ont Second ave nue yesterday morning, which caused quite a crowd to gather in the vicinity of Moorhead's Milk On Monday night James Gilmore, one of the workmen, was married.

A Very Dark Horse Get the Assistant Fost mastcrshlp Hln Name Is Albert Edwards Resignation of Colonel Hadsoa to Take Effect In August. The Assistant Postmastership has at last been settled, and the announcement of the selection will create somewhat of a surprise. Colonel Thomas J. Hudson will retire on August 1, and will be succeeded by Albert J. Edwards, of the Fourteenth ward. Col onel Hudson has handed his resignation to Postmaster McHean, and it has been ac cepted to take effect on the day mentioned. Before accepting the office which he now holds he was connected with the Adams Express Company, and will probably return to that corporation. Mr. Edwards Is a young man.

Humphries, manager of the Oliver Brothers' Tenth street milL The appointment causes a small stir among local politicians. One of tbem said last night: "It is a Quay peg driven into the Fourteenth ward, where Magee lives. Those pegs are being stuck around here and there with considerable exercise of good judgment. There isn't much noise being made about it, but tnere'll be a vol cano some of those days." SPEEB'S DELEGATES 0BGAKIZE. Conferees In the Twenty-Fourth Congres sional District Elect Officers.

Several days ago there was an extensive cave in at the old Portage railroad tunnel, throngh the summit ot the Allegheny Mountains, at Gallltzen. This tunnel is only a short distance north ot the Bennington tunnel ot tbe Penn sylvania Railroad. By many engineers it was once held to bo a superior passage of the mountains, but late years of railroading on the Pennsylvania Railroad has shown that a bet ter route could not have been secured than that now operated. Tho old Portago tunnel is 1.400 yards long, but was only built for and fitted with a single track, while tbe Pennsyl vania railroad tunnel has two tracks. The roof of the Portage tunnel fell in about the middle. The roof and walls had been built of solid masonry at intervals all through It, bnt at this point one of the old shafts entered the ceiling. The 1,400-foot hole in the monntain had been abanaoned for many years after the Pennsylvania canal and Portage Railroad were closed, but in 1SS6 it was cleaned out and utilized for a coal railroad belonging to Taylor & McCoy. Gallitzen. They leased it from tbe owners, the Pennsylvania Railroad, which it will be remembered, bought it from the State after the canal was abandoned. Taylor & McCoy have cleaned np the debris from the cave-in, and once more their coal trains are passing through tho old-time tunnel. This tnnnel is nearly 100 feet higher on the mountain than the Pennsylvania Railroad bor ing, which is just a mile long. THE RESULT OP A DISPUTE. Ex-Councllmnn Mutt CrtYnnnuchln a Very berlous Condition. Ex-Councilman Matt Cavanaugh is lying at his home in the First ward in a serious condi tion, tbe result of an alleged political dispute In which he Is said to have been engaged on Monday evening. Cavanaugh was standing in front of tho honse of Captain George Free, on Penn avenue, about 6 o'clock Monday evening when a man, with whom he was acquainted, came along and they engaged in a hot discus sion which ended in his opponent striking Cav anaugh a powerful blow, knocking him down. In bis fall Cavauaugh's bead struck a project ing aas pipe, cutting a terrible gash and ren dering him insensible, a condition that he did not recover from for flvo hours. Cavanangh was carried to his home and physicians dressed bis injuries, firo stitches being necessary to close tbe gaping wdund on his bead. Cavanaugh's condition last night was serious.

' " J IN AU AWFUL TANfiLE. The Depositors of F. and 11. Bank Have a Ked-Hot Meeting. CITJZEHS' COMMITTEE EESIGKS. Ex-Chairman Gearing Saja He Will Look After Ills Own Interests. ASSIGNEE SORG IS SOW THB TABGLT The depositors of the defunct Farmers and Mechanics' Bank, Southside, are just now involved in a tangle over the affairs of the bank. The sudden uprising originated with Dennis Doran, one of the depositors. He claims there has been crooked work somewhere in the disposition of the bank's funds, and, with others of his supporters, called several meetings of the depositors to inquire into the condition of the bank's affjirr. Assignee Sorg has been asked a number of times to give a report to the de positors of what has been done so far and what might be expected. He failed to re spond by his presence at the meetings. H. C. Gearing, the Chairman of tbe Citi zens' Committee, with some others, did not side with Mr. Doran, and believed that all was being done that could be at the present. Mr. Doran, however, pushed his call for an explanation, and said that if Assignee Sorg did not answer some of the questions' put to him, tbe depositors would find out the reason why. , Last night another meeting was held. Mr. Sorg was not present. Mr. K. Snyder took the chair, and immediately alter the reading of tbe minutes of the last meeting, asked what should be done with that clause asking that the present Citizens' Committee be asKea for a report or requested to resign. NO BEPOKT TO HAKE. Chairman Gearing said he had no report to make and resigned. He said that he pro posed, however, to stick to the suits in equity that he had entered in tbe courts against the bank managers. They could push him out, but he proposed to look after his own interests.and, if tney did not wish to stay by bim, every one of taem could have their names taken off the bill in equity. At this point Dennis Doran and several others wanted to know why Attorneys Porte and Cotton had been retained along with Law yer Ferguson, wben tbe depositors only knew of Attorney Ferguson being employed. Mr, Gearing said that three attorners old not coot any moro than one, the only difference being that they divided the 6 per cent commission. Another depositor said that tbe committee had no right to employ only Mr. Ferguson, and he bad been told by a member of tbe commit tee that Mr. Gearing did not tell the other members of bts action in doing so. Mr. Gear ing denied tbe charge, and Mr. Doran lumped up and wanted to know who was telling the truth, and turning to Secretary J. N. Jarrett, said: "You told me that Mr. Gearing did not say anything to you about employing tbe other attorneys. I'd like to know abont this." Secretary Jarrett scratched his bead as he glanced over the two men waiting to pounce on each other with verbal blows, and said that Mr. Gearing had spoken to him about the matter some time ago. Mr. Jarrett was finally canea on to resign, and did so, and Air. .Doran did the same, but his resignation was not ac cepted. HE WILL GO AHEAD. Mr. Gearing then left, after telling those present that he proposed to go ahead on bis own responsibility with tho suits, and look after bis own interests, and would have nothing more to do with any of them. When Mr. Gearing had disappeared there was a lull. Tbe depositors present seemed to realize that they were in an awful muddle, and no nearer finding ont abont tbe bank's fnnds than before One depositor said they mustnowlook to Assignee Sorg, as ho held the key to the situ ation, and a new committee should be organ ized and see what was to be done. Messrs. David Deakin and Philip Banmgart were elected to the vacant places on tbe com mittee. Tbe other members now are John Shook, George Levi and Dennis Doran. It was suggested that Messrs. Shook and Levi bo .given a chance to resign, bnt that was not thought necessary, as there was a majority without them. The committee was instructed to get a report of Assignee Sorg, or of the court, and the meeting then adjourned at the call of the Chairman. What tbe commltteo will finally do will depend on further developments, and with the attitude of Mr. Sorg and the rival committee, composed of H. O. Gearing, some interesting features are presaged.

He Promises Not to Wear a Union Veteran Legion Button Again. THE TEST CASE SETTLED BY HIM. Says He Pound the Emblem, and Wanted to Snow a Friendly Spirit. OTHEB MEN MAI Br PEOSECDTBD The question of whether any one can wear a Union Veteran Legion button, uothwltb standing the fact that they are not members of tbe organization, was practically decided in Magistrate Hyndman's office, in the East End, last evening. A test case was to have been beard by the Alderman, bnt it was settled by the defendant paying the costs of the prosecution before a hearing was held, thereby acknowledging the fact that he had no right to wear the emblem. The defendant in the case was A. M. Barr, the well-known physician of Carver street. He was charged by the officers of Encampment No. 1, Union Veteran Legion, with violateng an act of assembly by wear ing the badge of the organization, while not a member of the Legion. The law was passed last March by the Legislature, and this has been its first test in the State. DECIDED NOT TO rEOSECDTE. Commander A. B. Hays, attorney of En campment No. 1, was present at the Alder man's office, and after conferring with Mr. Barr and the other members of the Encamp ment present it was decided not to push the suit. There were quite a number of old soldiers, ail of them members of the Legion, on hand to lend their assistance in prosecut ing the case, but they decided to be lenient and allow Dr. Barr to co. Some ot them stated that they had warned him against wearing the button, and told him he would get into trouble. It is claimed he touched at the warnings, and told tbe members to go abead and prosecute bim If they wished. This they did, ana he was arrested on Friday last. To the members of the Legion last night Dr. Barr apologized for wearing the button, saying he found it in the streets, and put it on to show he was "with the boys." He denied he had been warned about wearing the bntton. and Bald he would not hare displayed it if he knew the action was against the law. won't do it again. The Union Veteran Legion is composed of commissioned officers who received honorable discharges, and no others can gain admittance to the organization. Every member of the Ieglon is eligible for membership in tbe G. A. B bnt every G. A. B. member is not eligible in tbe Veteran Legion, For several years, while the members were doing everything in their power to maintain the sanctity of their organization, they were bothered by many per sons not members of the organization wearing the emblem of tbe Iiecion. They bad no way to stop tbe practice until they had a law passed prohibiting others than members from wearing tbe bntton. The offense of Dr. Barr was the first one since the law was passed, and it was decided to make it a tet case. Recognizing he was In the wrong, the defendant paid the costs ot tbe prosecution and promised to sin no more. A EECEEAKT FATHER Leaves n Wife and Children in Want, Resulting- in Death.
