2 HOW EUROPE DOES IT- A Scbeme to Have the Letter Carriers Tate the Census, as They Know Almost ETerj Person. M VIEWS OF POSTAL OFFICIALS ON IT. Hi. McKean Thinks It is a Good Idea and Eajs It Could be Done Without Much Extra Work on Them. COULD ALSO POT FOLICEMEK TO WOEK. Enpmlscr Oilier Astcd to Same Districts Kot Ee ported, and Eefueil. The idea of having the city take a census of its own, and not depend on the alleged faulty guesswork of the 137 gentlemen who keep one eye on Supervisor Oliver and the other on the people they do not enumerate, has occurred to a number of city officials, particularly those connected with the police department. The post office authorities are not adverse to taking a hand in the came, and say when business is not heavy they could take a full census of the cit without imposing much extra work on the letter carriers. The idea was suggested by an official who does not wish his name used, at present, and says a postofHce census is taken in European cities each year, with great success. He Eays in London the letter carriers are started out with their pouches of mail on a certain Monday moraine, and at each house on their routes they leave a printed blank, to be filled in by each person who slept in the house on Sunday nignt. 2tO TEDIGKEE WANTED. Only about half a dozen questions are asked, and the long preamble about chronic diseases and questions not having any bear ing on the inlormation at issue, are entirely unknown. The idea of having the names of the people who slept there on Sunday night is to prevent the duplication of names. Postmaster McKean was asked yesterday what he thought of the scheme, and in re ply said: "It could be done very well, but not at the present time. A number o our carriers are off, and the work is very heavy. I do not know anybody that could take a can vass better than the letter carriers. They know everybody on their routes, and they could do the work much quicker than any other class of men. "We now have a Jist of nearly every person in the city from 11 years upward. Each carrier has a book which he is re quired to keep, and in it, in alphabetical order, is arranged the names of every person who receives mail on his route. This list is accurate, and as the people move about we keep track of them. If a man moves irom one letter carrier's route to another the change is made in both books. In this way we are enabled to tell within a minute or two where a letter can be delivered to any resident of the city. It is cot generally known that we have this list; but we have. How easy it would be for the carriers to make a complete census. They would catch almost every man, woman and child in the city. Mr. Oliver is doing the best he can, but the men doing the work are not the best fitted for it." WHAT COLONEL HUDSON THINKS. Colonel T. J. Hudson, Assistant Post master, said yesterday, in speaking of the necessity of accurate census returns so far as the actual population is concerned' ''An excelleut-plaa is that adopted by the Brit ish Government. A census is taken of every person who sleeps in each house on a specified Sunday night. Several days be fore each letter carrier is provided with blanks, one of which he leaves in every house on his route. These blanks the house holders must fill in completely and trutb lnlly, or suffer a heavy penalty. The fol lowing week the carriers gather up tne filled-in blanks, and they are turned in to the bureau in charge of the census." Inspector McKelvy, of the Southside po lice district, thought that the patrolmen could take the population census in one dav. There are 60 patrolmen on the Soutn side and each one could take his own beat. It would require a very short time to enter a house to ask how many males and lemales resided there and then step to the next house. Each policeman knows his beat and the people living on it pretty well, and would have no trouble in securing the de sired information. Supervisor Oliver was in a comfortable irameofmmd yesterday. The census re turns, be said, were coming in regularly and were being shipped to Washington. Mr. Oliver believes that his enumerators are do ing good work. He finds fault in very few cases. He say that he only asks that the people will deier judgment until the work is finished. He declines to make a guess at the population of Pittsburg. Anybody else, he says, can guess as well as he. The totals in the vinous precincts are kept here and when all are in Mr. Oliver will be able to give the figures. THE LIST NOT COMING. The Supervisor was asked yesterday to furnish a list of the districts which have not been turned in and accepted as finished. He said that he had not the time to do it, as it would require nearly an hour. Besides that, he had other reasons for not giving such a list for publication. There have been a greit many complaints because Harsh a 1 Harrah is at Williamsport and does not deputize somebody here to serve warrants for Supervisor Oliver. Three warrants against persons who have refused to answer questions put by the enumerators are lying in the Marshal's office. However, tbey will be served to-day. Mr. Oliver yes terday received a telegram from Marshal Harrah authorizing him to deputize some person as a United States Marshal to serve the warrants. "Word was at once com municated to United States Clerk Gamble, and he will have the deputy's commission ready this uiorning. Mr. Oliver said that he would have some member of the Pitts burg police force commissioned as the deputy fo that brass buttons might go be hind the warrants. Mr. Oliver ireely acknowledges that the time has been too short and the pay inad equate for the census enumerators. He says: "I think it would have been better if the enumerators had been paid so much a day, and given a premium lor getting over a cer tain number oi names. In that case, of course, they should be required to work so many hours a da, say nine. It is pretty hard work for a man to perform bis work, as an enumerator and at the same time try to run an afternoon and a morning paper. It will not be necessary to devise anv scheme for taking a census again. Wo will bare it correct when we have finished." A WONDEEFUL PHENOMENON. A f eik struck the censns office yester day. A young lady from the bouthside called tJ Bay that she was afraid sbe bad been put down too young. She was away from home when the enumerator called on her aunt. Sbe said she would come into possession of a neat little fortune when she became 21, and the thought that her aunt. ho now has con trol of tie le:aey. was ir.ing to make her appear younger than sbe really is. .Mmu.uri- ui disapproval can be heard on every side in Allegheny. General dissatisfac tion is manifested by people in all walks of life. Ihe citizens unhesitatingly condemn the work of the census takers. A tone of strong condemnation pervades the remarks or all. They declare the information acquired bv the enumerators as totally incomplete and unrelia- Ex-Postnisster John A Myler said: "1 have not seen an) census enumerator yet who asked me any questions. Whatever has been put down a ray recoi d is not as thoroughly accurate asituuula havo been bad it come direct from myself." Mr. aiiller, the teller In the First National Bank, said: "No censns taker has called on roe jet in Bewickley. The enumerators have not made any inquiries whatever so far as 1 know. I am not on the list to my knowledge." . Mr. Henry Hunnesbagen, Mayor Wymau's clerk, remarked: "I was not personally ap proached by any enumerator. My name may be on the census list, but the information given bas not come from me. Such indirect methods of acquiring statistics is not reliable." Cashier Morton, of the Nation's- Barings Bank, observed: "I never saw the censns taker, and am at a loss to know what facts and figures in regard to mj self hare been acquired by the knights of the portfolio." Mr. O'Connell, of the Second National, said: "The censns man gave me the go-by. What ever tbey hare recorded against my name comes from other sources. Instances of parties declaring their intention to refuse to properly answer some of the questions bave come under my notice." Any persons who have not yet made the ac quaintance of the enumerator of their district ana desire to do so, should make the fact known through The Dispatch. WOKEH AND THE CEHSXTS. Men Lack the Courage to Ask Ladles the rtcceanrr Question!. "What did you think of the census takerr' was asked yesterday afternoon of a little woman 'who is noted among her circle of ac quaintances for her brightness and brilliancy. "Ob, the one who censnsed us was quite a nice man; he did all the prevaricating himself: that is, if he filled up the blanks, for he didn't ask ns any of those ridiculous questions about insanity or disease, probably because he knew they wouldn't be answered truthfully. Any way, he simply saved himself the trouble "A man never would have the courage to ask all those questions and never would get the truth ot the matter if be did." continued the speaker. "Why didn't tbey appoint from each district the Mrs. Grundy who is tbe dread of all the residents and who knows everything about ereryono and their grandparents, and -who. in her ofhcial tour, would be sure to glean any little item of information that might bave escaped her in her self-imposed task of infor mation seeking: IC there really was anything to be gained bj Uncle Sam being cognizant of all the private affairs of his children, women would be much more successful in the role of interrogators and would donbtless perform their duties with much more unction and more faithfully and be able to keep tbe secrets after they had received them, which a man never can do' JUMPED PEOM A WINDOW. Mar? Donalierly Tries to Eaenpe no Officer nod Nearly Cracks Her Skull. Mrs. Mary Dougherty, who lives in the rear of 141 Webster avenue, jumped from the second story window last night and struck her head against the wall of the ad joining honse and was knocked senseless. Yesterday a report was made to the Anti Cruelty Society charging Mrs. Dougherty and her husband with drinking and neglecting ana abusing their four children. Agent Dean -went np to investigate the matter, and as he knocked at the door be heard someone throw up a win dow, and then Mrs. Dougherty threw herself out. He went to her assistance at once and carried her into tbe bouse. In a short time she regained consciousness. She asserted that she jumped out of the window to get away from her husband who wanted to assault her, and that she had per formed tbe feat once before successfully. As Dongberty could not be lound In tbe boue. Superintendent Dean concluded that 'he had been apprized of his coming and wanted to escape him. An examination of the house showed it to be in bad condition. There are four children, tbe eldest 10 years of age, and two of them are quite sick with measles. As tbe children would have been alone Superintendent Dean decided to leave Mrs. Dougherty at home. He mil make an information against her to-day. LADIES TAKE A BAND. Preparing for tbe Accommodation of Sunday fecliool Convention Delegates. The ladies of the Methodist churches met yesterday afternoon in the chapel of the Y. M. C. A. and completed the arrangements for their day at the Exposition during the Sunday School Convention. Mrs. Rev. Pierce presided, and a call of the roll showed that ISO ladies were present. Announcement was made that but three of tbe Methodist churches have sent in their blanks agreeing to provide homes for the 1.300 delegates to the convention. Each Chairman present secured circulars for roading at the various prayer meetings last night. Canvassers will bo appointed to secure homes for the dele gates, ana report to Mr. S. E. Gill, I o. 95 Fifth avenue, not Uteri than Saturday next. Up to yesterday acconytandatlons had been guaran teed for only aboti 100, leaving 1,000 to be cared lor. 1 Nearly all of tbe hotels In the city have made rates for lodging and breakfast for delegates, so that families who cannot accommodate delecates at their homes can hare tbem sent to these hotels at their expense, if notice is given to Chairman S. E. Gill. The rates are from 81 to II 50 per day for lodging and breakfast. The carpenters went to work yesterday, and by evening a large number of tables were erected in the cafe. TEE CUT TOO SWEEPING. If. C Frick Says Thnt the Senate Redaction on hteel Rnlls Is Dnncerong. The proposition of tbe Senate Finance Com mittee to reduce the tariff upon steel rails from 17 SO to $11 20 per ton cause grave appre hension among Pittsburg steel manufacturers. H. C. Frick, Chairman of Carnegie Brothers fc Cp., who own tbe Edgar Thomson Steel Works, said yesterday: "The cut in the duty would certainly have a very serious effect upon the steel rail trade. The proposed redaction in the McKinley bill would have effected the duty, but a sweeping cnt like that proposed by the Senate would in vite all the English steel rail manufacturers to enter the United States and compete with home manufacturers for the market, especially in tbe Southern States. It is more than proba ble that in order to secure contracts the for eign manufacturers would reduce prices mate rially, and as a result the Industry in America would receive a dangerous blow. EEVEHGE OH A POLICE CAPTAIN. An Old Election Grodno Ends In a Blow In the Face. Police Captain Bell, of Allegheny, was stand ing in the Mayor's office last night when Joseph May walked up and snddenly struck him a stinging blow in the face. Detective Steele at once placed May in the lockup. The cause of tbe assault was owing to a grudge which May held against Captain Bell. It appears the latter had criticised tho actions of May, who worked lor the election of Robert Jones for chief of the fire department as against John Lemon, last spring. It was an election of city officials by Councils, and May was not a Councilman. Bell was1 not seriously injured. His assailant will appear before Mayor Wyman this morning on a cbarge of disorderly conduct. A HUSBAND EXONERATED. Ho Is Acquitted of Drunkenness nnd a Sus picion of Uxoricide Dispelled. Last night John Compern, of Mlffln street, was before Magistrate Leslie on a charge of drunkenness. Compern is the man whose wife died on Tnesday, and who, it was said by some women in tbe house, had beaten his wife, who was 111. At the bearing no evidence was offered to show that be had abused his wife, and, on the other band, a physician's certificate was placed In evidence, giring inflammation of the bowels, caused by exposure, as the cause of death. Ihe cbarge ot drunkenness was dismissed and Com pern was discharged. YOUTHFUL THIEVES AHEESTED Charted With Bobbins a Restaurant of Six Dollnri and n Rlcycle. Jackson's restaurant on Diamond street, op posite the Court Honse, was yesterday entered by thieves. Six dollars were stolen. A bicycle was also purloined from a neighboring yard.

He was arrested on suspicion, and a Youngstown telegram states that he Is wanted there. THE ONYX FROM MEXICO. A Shipload of That Rich Mosaic for Pittsburg Capitalists WHO WILL BUILD A FACTORY HERE. A Sew and Unique Industry to be Estab lished in This City. BTEANGE HISTORY 0P THE DISC0TEEEK Pittsburg will soon have a new industry, and one which is as valuable as it is unique. Messrs. A. C. Carroll and Charles Barr, tbe architect, propose erecting a factory in Pittsburg lor the polishing of Mexican onyx and mosaic agate stones that are be coming popular for interior decoration of houses. Messrs. Barr and Carroll returned yester day from Hew York, where they had or ganized a company to build a factory. They have ordered a ship load of onyx from Mex ico, which will contain between 6,000 and 0,000 cubic feet. In the same ship with the onyx there will be a small amount of mosaic agate, which is a rare and beautifully trans parent stone, supposed to be broken and cemented onyx. The action of the water upon the onyx has given it a coloring and transparency which the agate has never equaled. Mr. Barr said that when the factory is completed it will give Pittsburgers an op portunity to use onyx andmosaic agate in their houses at a comparatively small cost. The factory will be built in Pittsburg short ly, although no site has been decided upon. AN ADVENTUROUS SPIEIT. In connection with the introduction into household use of onyx and mosaic agate, there has been probably no one to whom so much is due as to "Senor" "William Cooper, of New York, who has been of val uable assistance to Messrs. Barr and Carroll in the purchase of their onyx. The history ot Mr. Cooper is tbe romance of an adventur ous spirit, who, single-banded, started out lnto the world to make a fortune. Several years ago Mr. Cooper became em barrassed, and was willing to go on any kind of an expedition the North Pole, Africa, any where so as to get excitement and a chance to better bis fortune. He managed to go to Europe, and traveled through Hungary and Russia, trading and playing the violin to the natives. From Russia he went to Turkey, and so pleased the "Unspeakable Tutk" With his musical talent tbat a rich Pasha invited the American to play the violin before the women ot bis harem. Mr. Cooper plajed on 11 differ ent instruments, and charmed tbe Oriental women. He then went to Africa, and hiring a number of elephants and a suitable escort started into tbe interior. He was absent sev eral months, and many people on the coast thought he nad been killed. He returned, however, with ivory valued at several thousand dollars. Like Pizarro, Mr. Cooper thought that there was an El Dorado either in Peru or Mexico and so he journeyed to the latter country. He spent bis time in tbe City of Mexico. Every day be would wander about and gaze at the relics ot a b-gone Aztec civilization. A VALUABLE DISCOYEBY. Byaccldentone day he strayed into a museum and became interested in specimens of onyx. A beautiful translucent stone or agate, a part of the throne of Xolotle, the first king of the Aztecs, was shown to him. Ho recognized the stone as genuine mosaic agato and came to the conclusion tbat it existed in Mexico, for in Xolotle's time tbe Spanish had not invaded Mexico and the blood of the-Faithlulhadnot been shed by tho invaders. A burning desire took possession of Mr. Cooper to discover the mosaic agate, so ho went to Ornoba and lived In the mountains with the Indians. One day an Indian brought Mr. Cooper a piece of agate and said tbat lie bad found it in the crater of an extinct volcano where be had gone tolookfor sulDhur. Senor Cooper descended Into the crater and found a big mine of genuine mosaic agate. He obtained a "concession" from the Mexican Government and is now wealthy from the proceeds of the sales ot large quantities of mosaic agate. To-day the agate which Mr. Cooper mines is sold throughout tbe world and commands al most fabulous prices. One rarely perfect piece of mosaic in a down-town office is said to bare cost N00 per square inch. EVERYBODY SUEE OF SUCCESS. How Harry Fanl Found Political Matters In the Qunker City. Harry S. Paul, President of the Americns Club, arrived home last night from Philadel phia. He came in on the "limited express," and said everything was booming down East for Delamater. In speaking of the claims made by tbe adherents and candidates of each faction, he said: "I met Senator Wallace at the Lafayette Hotel this morning, and took breakfast with bim. He is sanguine ot success, and says be will secure the nomination of his partv. Then I met a Pattison man, and be was betting any thing on his favorite. Iliad not gone very far until I ran into one of Montooib's followers, and he was voicing tbe Malor's claims on the position. I struck any number of people shout ing for Delamater, and there is no question but that he will get there." THE CE0SST0WN BAHROAD. A New Branch of the Pleasant Taller Elec tric Road Opened.

Chief Blffclovr Determined to Make the rince Populnr Bnnds Volunteer to Pqr- alsb the Mnslc Possibility of Siestas; Societies Offering Their Services. Chief Bigelow is bound to make Schenley Park popular, and, in his different moves to that end, has received encouragement on every hand. Tbe latest scheme is to give band concerts in the park every Tnesday and Saturday evenings for the benefit or the worklngmen and the popnlace in general. The Inaugural concert will be given next Saturday evening. The Select Knights Band of 30 pieces has volnnteered Its services, which have been accepted by Chief Bigelow. Tbe band has been preparing for the concert for some time past, and have an excellent repertoire of patriotic and popular airs. Gus Kreil is manager of the band and George W. Williams leader. New uniforms have Just been received and the boys will spread them selves in honor of being the first band to play in the city's new breathing place. The musical programme will be given to the public ueiure oaiuraay. The Interest in the park is growing among all classes, and it is thought that a large number of people will avail' themselves of the opportunity to view its rural beauties and at the pa rue time listen to an open air concert by a good mnsical organization. Tbe streets of the park will be lighted up with oil and gas lamps for the occa sion and a temporary band pavilion erected. The Great Western Band has also offered its services, and arrangements will be made later for otber concerts as the musical organizations join the list of music donors. Chief Bigelow says tbat the new park is for the special enjoy ment of everyone, and it is proposed to take every means possible to make it a popular place of recreation and amusement. Later vocal concerts may be added. There are auy number of hnglisb, German and Welsh singing societies in tbe city, and no doubt noarly all of them wonld bo willing to contribute their servicos for one night. All these things will come up for after considera tion. THE TOOTHPICK FIEND, Some or His Peculiarities ns Viewed In n Hotel Office Knncr buries for tba Visitors . Bow Matches Are Carried Off In Bulk. "That is a toothpick fiend," said a clerk in one of the largest hotels yesterday, as he pointed to a man who had two toothpicks in his mouth, aud was trying to get a hand ful into his vest pocket. "He is one of the oiass of people who comeinto the hotel through the bar entrance, and after taking a 5-cent drink and a licent free lunch, strolls into the office and struts around as If be was a 55-a-day boarder. He brushes all the flies off the coun ter with his arms as he reaches over in a patronizing way and asks for tbe railroad guide. After catching a imaginary train, and, inquiring about the con nections, he picks np a handful of toothpicks and saunters out the front door. At the main entrance to the hotel he stops and picks tbe remnants of his free lunch ont of his teeth, with the intention of conveying to passers by, that he is stopping at tbe hotel, why don't wo kickf What good would it do T It would only cause a scene, and the best thing to do is to pay no attention to bim. Sometimes we say something about the tooth picks, but not often. "People have no idea what toothpicks cost us," continued tbe clerk. Hotels like tbe Mo nongahela House, the Anderson and the Sev enth Avenue are under an expense ot about $300 per year for the small pieces of wood. At the Scbiosser the management has introduced something new in toothpicks. Tne wood for them is first cut, and after the pieces hare been carefully selected they are blaced in a vessel and steeped in cinnamon. This gives a peculiar, rich flavor to the wood, pleasing to the taste. At the Monongahela House different kinds of toothpicks are to be found. This bouse probably spends more money than any otber in town for its teeth-prlers. The guest can have bis choice of a quill or a wooden toothpick. On the tables are foundsmall bundles of Japanese toothpicks, lor the use of ladies. Ther are made in Japan, and are very expen sive in this country. Tho other toothpicks aro made in New York and Maine. "At the Anderson the flub' toothpick is nsed. It is a piece of selected wood, which has been put through a steaming process. Tbe same kind is used at tbe Duquesne; tbey will not split or break easily. At the Seventh Ave nue the ordinary wooden toothpicks are used. I bave heard drummers say tbey can always tell a hotel by the kind of toothpicks it sets out for Its guests. , "Matches are another great item of expense in running a hotel. We buy them by the gross boxes, and use thousands of them every day. About three out of every four guests at a hotel when they call for a box of matches, put the box in their pockets. I bare sent half a dozen boxes to one room in as many days. The guests think it is all right to carry off tho matches, but when you figure up what a ear's supply costs you will find It to be hundreds of dollars. It is not the big items of expense that a hotel manager has to look out for, burthe small things." AFTER THE PEDDLERS. The Police Arresting; All Street Vendors Wbo Are Not Llcensod. Chief Brown, of the Department of Public Safety, yesterday directed tbe Inspectors to cause the arrest of all peddlers and installment agents who have not a peddler's license. ,The order will cause a sensation among the agents of installment houses. Heretofore they bave not been classed among peddlers. Agents of sewing machine houses which sell ou time are Inquiring where thej stand. Tbe fees which peddlers must pay to the City Treasurer arc: For a foot peddler, $10 a year: one-horse wagon or bugey,S35; two-horso rig, foO. During tbe day 19 arrests were made on this order. On Diamond street, Simon Rapanlt, of No. 141 Washington street, was picked up for peddling suspenders, and was taken to Central station. On Center arenue, Harry Saluiskv and Isaac Sacks, dealers in collar buttons, so cks, etc. were captured and taken to the Eleventh ward station. On Fifth avenue, G. J. Uirid laver and P. Brown, ice cream vendors, were arrested and placed in the Fourteenth ward station. Jacob Weisman, also ot Fifth avenue, was arrested for selling collar buttons and taken to the Fourteenth ward station. ' Penn avenue produced Con Lnwe, Abe Weise, H. A Greenbnrg, J. Grover, John Mc Langblinnnd a German woman who could not speak English and was registered as "Mrs. Ped dler." They -were selling notions and were placed in the Twelfth ward station. On tbe Southside, Jacob Miller, August Tulillc. Michael Parre, John Savie, John Cot tier, Charles Larastuk and L. Rein, for selling bananas, were arrested and placed in the Twenty-eightb ward station. The peddlers were all charged with violat ing a city ordinance and in nearly every instance left a deposit of $30 for appearance at the morning bearing. POSTPONED TO A LATER DATE. The Allegheny Wnier Committee Is Still Undecided. Pure water was talked over again last night by the Allegheny committee, but nothing was done. Mr. Hcnricks moved that tho City Con troller be authorized to advertise for bids for completing tho whole work, including the con struction of a reservoir and a water filter. Mr. Cochrane offered an amendment tbat all the work except that of the construction of a reser voir and water filter be advertised for. Then tbe argument begun. Mr. Hcnricks said they conld at least ascertain what tho whole thing would cost, and that the city would not bo com pelled to accept tbe bid. Mr. Cochrane object ed because, he said, the conduit would bo enoucb. and the city could not afford a water filter. He said they could get the filter in somo future pear. These was considerable talk on this head, covering the points reliting to health on Mr. Henrick's side, and those relating to economy on Mr. Cocbrane's. On tbe latter Mr. Stavtou spoke and said the city onght to put a filter here In the city at their present works and save the expense of guing to tbe island. He, too, argned from a sanitary point of view, and had numerous copies of a number of medical jour nals to back up his assertions relative to bacteria and animalcultc A motion to adjourn was allowed by Chairman Brown. No Fence Allowed nt Home. Freddie and George Dill were committed to tbe Morganza Reform School by Magistrate Succop on a charge of Incorrigibility preferred by their mother who said that tboy had been bringing stolen articles to their home.

SCnOOL CHILDREN AGEE FOE THE DAT The" subscription of funds' by patriotic citizens is alone wanting to mace the Fourth of July celebration in this city a grand, old time success. Yesterday afternoon Mayor Gourley, Chief Bigelow,' Chief Brown and Controller Mor row visited Schenley Park and selected the site for tbe celebration. They were driven out in one of the wagons of the Department of Public Works.. Chief Brown had never before visited the parK and he had only an indefinite idea of its location. He did not know haw it could be reached. He was de lighted with what he saw. "It was decided to locate the speakers' stand at the mouth of Panther Hollow. There the gorge widens into a pretty, level valley, clotbed with thick sward and shaded by some fine old trees. In a shaded pot Chief Bigelow will have a temporary platform erected and seats constructed. The location is easily accessible from Boquet street, either by pe destrians or persons in carriages. A good road runs down the vallev of Pour Mile run alongside the Junction Railroad. From that road the Depnriment of Public Works will have a carriage road made up the hollow. BEAUTIFUL AND CONVENIENT. The site for the celebration is only abont 300 feet from the Junction road. The Bal timore and Ohio will be asked to run a special train from the city depot. Tbere ere prettier places in the park, but none of them are as easily reacneu. ine imauijr biwku , however, a beautifnl ope. To-day Mayor Gourley will organize a Finance Committee to raise the S 1,000 necessary for a good time. Battery B will be Invited to tire several rounds, and two bands will be hired to fill the woods with music City Attorney Moreland, Colonel W. D. Moore and other gen tlomen will be asked to speak. It Is doubtful whether any money will be ex pended for fireworks in tbe evening. Those who attend the alternoon festivities will hardly remain In the park after dark. Besides, there will be a display of fireworks by the people of Oakland Square, justacross the valley of Four Mile run. Superintendent Luckey will be asked to-day to cause invitations to be annonnced in all the schools for the children to take part In the ser vices in the afternoon. The schools will close next week and a number of the teachers will go away for vacation, but the Mayor is confident tbat several thousand or the youncsters will flock to the ne ir park. The place has already become a popular resort, especially on Sun days. One of tho men living in the park esti mates tbe number of people who visited there last Sunday as 6,000. LEMONADE FOB EVERYBODY. One of the.odd features fur the Fourth pro posed by Chief Bigelow is the making of lemon ade by the wholesale. He proposes to turn out several sprinkling carts belonging to tbe de partment, and to have them filled, not witb in sipid hydrant water, but with ice-cold lemonade, which will be given free to every thirsty man, woman and child. Superintendent Luckey was seen yesterday with reference to the proposed attendance of children in Schenley Park on tbe Fourth. Mr. Luckey said: "All the children have been in vited, or rather requested, to visit tbe nark on tbat occasion. I am sure that they will come in crowds, and even forego tbe pleasures of firecrackers and otber patriotic explosives to take part in tbe celebrations. Tho schools break up on the 27th instant, and most of tbe teachers go on a vacatidn after that date, so it would be difficult to get the children into any regular procession on the Fourth. However, I don't think tbe little ones will be sorry on ac count of any lack of formality attending tbelr visit to tbe fete grounds. Children, especially boy children, do not care to be 'cribbed, cabined and confined' in any procession on tbe glorious Fourth. The invitation has been conveyed to tbe little ones through their teachers, and all have been asked to wear their 'very best.' TEEPAEING FOiTfUH. , "I suppose some little girls will bring baskets of flowers, bouquets and wreaths; in fact, a cer tain diminutive bird informed me that such was tho intention. I don't know whether Chief Bigelow would like an amateur pyrotech nic display in the park he is making so much out of, but 1 fear be must expect something of the sort in penalty for bis hospitality. I heard a quaint little miss sav this morning tbat sbe was collecting a lot of butterflies, moths, eta. for Mr. Bigelow's zoo. It wouldn't be a bad idea for the Chief to accept the little one's gift so as to form a nucleus for a good local entom ological collection. Rev. Mr Holland, of the East End, could give some really good advice on the subject. But I suppose Mr. Bigelow has more suggestions of this kind than be knows what to do with. 'Yes; I shall be at the Schenley Park cele bration ou tbe Fourth, if possible. 1 imagine tbatrrostof the teachers and superintendents wbo have not started on vacation tours will also put in an appearance at the park." A suggestion has been made that the various street car lines of the city make some conces sions in fare to the children ou tbe Fourth. Tbe officials of tbe different companies will be sounded upon this point. PATEI0TISH D? THE PABKS. A Sncgestlon on Celebrating the Fourth la Allegheny. Bright suggestions for celebrating the com ing anniversary of the Declaration of Inde pendence in Allegheny are not as scarce as hens' teeth. Occasionally some interesting schemes are proposed, and here is one by ex Postmaster Myler: "Allegheny can make the eagle scream on the Fourth of July," said he, "and one of the ways to do it is for everybody to get out of tbe harness that day and forget all about business for 21 hours. "I tblnkit would be one of the best things out if the narks were thrown open to various entertainments. Let the public seek joy and contentment by rolling in the grass, and hare a balloon ascension. Anything to hare tbe peo ple meet, say "how-do-you do' to one another and eat peanuts and gingorbread togethor." NO THOUBLE FEABED. The Western Ronds ot tho Pennsylvania System N t In thn rdrlke. Prominent Allegheny railroaders were seen yesterday in regard to the effect that the Pitts burg, Virginia and Charleston striko will have on the western roads of tbe Pennsylvania sys tem. Tbere is little apprehension felt by the various companies. Superintendent Hutchin son, of the West Penn, said: 'I have not beard a word of discontent among onr men, and tbere is no indication to show the slightest possibility of the employes on tho est Penn being involved in ihe troubles of the Pittsburg, Virginia and Charleston strikers." Tho following comment was made In the ofllce of the P., Ft, W. & C. road: "The strike on the Pittsburg, Virginia and Charleston road is at present of comparatively small proportions, but it is bard to say where such things will end, Tbere bas been no expression of dissatisfaction among the Fort Wayne road employes so far, and the strike will most likely not affect the interests of this company."

THROWN OPON AS ORE ELEVATOR, He Falls Over Twenty Feet and His Back bone is Fractured. DEATH AFTER SIX JI0KTHS OF AG05T Charles Rademan, a Swedish lad of 17 years, died at 430 o'clock yesterday after noon at the Homeopathic Hospital, after lying for over six months with a broken backbone. His death will probably result in the arrest of a half dozen workmen of the Edgar Thomson Steel Works to-day. Tbejad came to this country about a year ago. He Las no relatives here except an uncle Jay Person who lives in Braddock. Going to his uncle's house he secured, by his aid, employment as a laborer about the blast furnaces at Bessemer. He was an un sophisticated, ignorant boy, strong and will ing to work, bnt his inability to speak En glish well and his "green-horn" ways made him the object of many practical jokes among the rude workmen witb whom he mingled, It was on a Snnday that he received the injuries which resulted in his death. He was working about one of the blast furnaces on December 8 last assisting in loading the ore and cdke on the cars which are carried to the top of the furnace on the elevators. the victim's STORr. The boy's story is that jnst as one of the elevators was started upward he was seized by four or five of the workmen, big, strong men, and thrown upon the elevator. Two or three men were on the lift, and the boy says that one of them pushed him, after the elevator bad ascended for some distance, so that ho fell off. He tnmbled headlone to the ground, a distance of at least 20 feet, and lay unable to rise. He fell prone upon his back, and when lifted by those wbo ran to his rescue he screamed with pain. He was sent at once by a Baltimore and Ohio train, to Pittsburg, and was conveyed by ambu lance to the Homeopathic Hospital. There he was examined by Dr. Rumsey, who found that the boy had suffered a fracture of the lumbar vertebras. Tho lad lay. In great anguish, week In and wees; nut. He was visited by his uncle and by friends with whom he had boarded in Braddock. The kindest comer to his bedside, who seemed most anxious to relieve his suffer ings, was Bev.

His lower limbi were paralyzed and he became a living skeleton. died at last. Abont three weeks ago Dr. Bumsey gave It as bis opinion that Rudeman could not live. Tbe Coroner was notified. and besent Stenographer Donnelly to take tbe boy's ante mortem state ment. The sufferer gave a clear account of the manner in which he received his injuries, but be was not able to give tbo names of tbe roeu who composed the gang working on the furnace. Yesterday afternoon he died, and his body was removed to tne public morgue. What disposition wilr be made of it bas not been de termined. At 11 o'clock this forenoon the Coroner will begin an inquest. It is not expected that it will be completed to-day, at It will doubtless require considerable time to discover tne men who were responsible for tbe boy's death. Many witnesses must be examined. Coroner McDowell is determined to sift the matter to the fullest extent possible. He does not be lieve in practical jokes of this nature. Dleetlnst of tbe V. P. C. L.
