To Be Demanded of the Pennsylvania
Legislature by Pittsburg's
Bureau of Health for
TENEMENT HODSE SUPERVISION.
Eights and Smells Found on a Hot Eight in
an Italian Lodging House
in Bloomfield.
r COMPLAINTS FEOH SECOND ATENUE.
In inoDjmoaa Writer Attacks tbe Etui Hide by
Inspector McAleese.
HE Bureau of Health
V 'has made an examina-
tion of a number of the
Italian lodging bouses
recently mentioned in
The Dispatch as be
ing a menace to the
health, of tbe city. Sn
I perintendent Tbomai
' W. Baker has made a
personal inspection of
several of these places,
notably the Mutgrave
building, on Liberty
avenue.
Mr. Baker, in speak
ing of his visit, said the
place smelt like the
steerage of an emigrant
vessel. He would not
sav'that the odor was
unhealthy, but Ee confessed it was Tery un
pleasant. The superintendent deplores the
overcrowding of Italian lodging bouses, but
says tbe Bureau of Health is comparatively
nowerless until an epidemic orea-s om,
Sleeping in a -Penn JLicnuc Cellar.
In the meantime, however, the bureau looks
otter the sanitary arrangements of these
places, but could not compel the lodgers to
wash themselves.
MOVING THE LEGISLATUEE.
Superintendent Baker stated that he would
not sit idly down and wait for an epidemic
to come along. He proposes to ask the
Legislature tor more power. To-morrow lie
will have a conference with Assistant City
Attorney Clarence Burleigh for the purpose
of outlining a measure similar to the tene
ment la w of Hew York State. In that State
" the tenement inspection is very thorough.
To prevent overcrowding a provision Is
made regulating tbe number of cubic feet
of space to be devoted to each lodger, and
any lodging house keeper who Dreacs me
law is promptly and severely punished.
Some sncb measure as this, says Mr. Baker,
is necessary to enable his bureau to stop the
frightful overcrowding now going on in this
city.
A visit to some of these places, in com
pany with Detective Bendel, was made
after nightfall. A house on Laurel avenue,
Bloomfield, was inspected. The place con
sisted of two rooms and a cellar. In these
three apartments the population varies be
tween 210 and 300.
CROWDING THE SLEEPEES.
Each room contains a cooking stove in the
center, around and on top of which are
piled the boots of the sleepers, forming a
monument of odorous leather. Around the
room are rough bunks, about two feet apart
More Eoai dert Arriving.
and three teet wide. There are four tiers of
these bunks, and in each sleep two or three,
and in one or tiro cases, four men.
The night was very warm, but inside
these rooms the temperature was fearful, and
the smell abominable. There were no bed
clothes, and the men had taken off almost
all, and in many cases every stitch, of their
clothing, rolling it no Jorpillows, and there
they lay and sweltered. The Black Hole of
Calcutta could scarcely have been worse.
To add to the closeness of tbe atmosphere a
dingy kerosene lamp smoked away in one
corner.
Sunday is washing and baking day in
these places. The cooking stove is fired up,
wash kettles are set on to boil, and every
man proceeds to wash his shirt and bake
enough rye bread to last him dnring the
coming week.
SUNDAY IN A LODGING HOUSE.
The work is soon done. The shirts are
qnickly dried and donned, and as soon as
the bread is baked each mad takes his batch
and places it in his trunk, which serves as
bank, larder, wardrobe and bed. Then the
kegs of beer, which have been purchased on
Saturday night, are tapped, old greasy
cards are taken out of pockets and the in
mates proceed to enjoy themselves. They
parable in a small way, but as a general
Ml ft
I ifcf I
if
thing there 1 no violent outDreaic xne
men talk noisily and gesticulate violently,
bnt quarrels are rare. When one does occnr
a knife is suddenly flashed out, and there is
work for the Coroner.
The men have, however, a wholesome fear
of the law, and the combatants are usually
separated before much - damage is done.
"When one of them does get into trouble, his
fellow-countrymen will do all they can to
shelter his. "'When questioned by the po
lice they know absolutely nothing. Detec
tive Sol" Conlson, whose &n experience in
police matters makes him an authority, says
there is more trouble in convicting an Ital
ian than any other foreigner. The Chinese
are stolid and will fool the police if they
can, but they are easily frightened and will
, give evidence against their brethren to save
- themselves. Not so with the Italians. They
-will deny all knowledge of a crime or the
i criminal and maintain that position to the
nd.
CHOOSING BETWEEN TWO J5VIX3.
"" Hear the corner of Penn avenue and
. Zwenty.seventh street there is a cellar in
which 90 to 100 Italians live. The place is
damp and moldy, and the odor on a summer
night is simply indescribable. At No. 12
Third avenue another 100 live huddled up
tosether.
Residents on the north side of Second
avenue are entering complaints about a
court off Grant street on which their houses
abut. The conrt is packed solidly with
Italians, and the smell during these hot
nights is frightful. Persons sleeping in the
rear rooms of the Second avenue houses
have their choice between two evils. If
they open their windows they are poisoned
bv the odors from the court, and if they
close the windows they will smother to
death.
Among the other plague spots in the city
reported by the police are the following,
with the estimated population:
A LONG LIST.
Centennial building, Ferry street, 400.
Musgrave building, Liberty street, SOU.
1 he battery, Webster avenue, 500.
Splane's court, off Fifth arena e, 400.
Three alleys or High street and two off Ian
net street, impossible to compote.
Three houses on Spring alley, 300.
Eagle's nest. Twentieth street, 250.
Three houses near Fifty-second street, 700.
Two rooms on the Welsh road. 40.
Chamber's court. oS Sontn Eighth street, S50.
House on South Twenty-sixth street, 60,
One court off Tunnel street, 450.
Three rooms on High street, 130.
Two rooms on Fourth avenue, W.
Cabin at Homewood, ISO.
A store at No. 1M0D Penn avenue, 75.
SIcKelrej's row, from 1017 to 1631 Penn ave
nue, family in every room.
Three frame houses on Mulberry allev, be
tween Twentieth and Twentv-flrst streets, 220.
Mackrell's row, Twenty-fourth street, from
S00 to40a
Store and cellar, No. 2721 Penn avenue, 120
estimated.
Small house at corner of Twenty-eighth
street and Mulbsrry alley, 75.
Drorer's Home, corner Twenty-eighth and
Liberty street, 300 estimated.
Four houses on Stanton avenue, population
unknown.
House on Plum allev. between Forty-seventh
and Forty-eighth street, 85.
Watson's Court, Washington street, 400.
Three rooms on Bpnng alley, 90 regular
boarders, with innumerable visitors from Sat
urday to Monday.
There are but a few of the places against
which the proposed tenement law will be
entorced. Tbe Yellow Bow will receive
some attention, and the practice oi living in
cellars will be broken up. The Humane
Agent can proceed against persons who
keep their animals in unhealthy stables,
but it appears to he no one's business how or
where human beings live and die.
AN ANONYMOUS CHAMPION.
The condemnatory remarks of Inspector
McAleese against the Italian lodging house
nuisance has aroused the ire of an anony
mous writer who, from behind the sale
shield of the nom de plume, "An Irishman
who claims the world as his workshop and
every man as his brother," dares the In
spector to give out his letter for publica
tion. The writer warmly defends the Italians,
who, he says, are unable to defend them
selves, owing to their ignorance of the Eng
lish language. He says that the street con
tractors make f 3 to 54 per day irom each
Italian's work, and shonld supply them
with respectable residences, and continues:
Italians build drains to drag away stagnant
water, dig your wells, dive into tbe bowels of
the earth and take out its precious minerals,
and make that which was valueless before
worth millions of dollars, and thereby induce
English capitalists to come over and spread
their wealth in this country. If they (ret a coal
mine worth $100,000 and an English firm to buy
It and make improvements It becomes worth'
millions. Tbe Italian is the mainspring of all
this wealth, and it he takes $200 or 300 home
and leaves 51,000,000 behind him, I don't see
what is the difference.
Officer "Wagner last night made a raid on
a number of Italians who had assembled in
a house in Splane's court, off High street
and were have a high old time with the aid
of a keg of beer. The party, consisting of
five men and three women, were locked up
in tbe Central station.
About midnight Inspector McKelvey,
Special Officer Carrigan and Officer Ridge,
of the Third district, raided a disorderly
house run by Mike Livensky, in Pine alley,
at the head of South Tenth street, and suc
ceeded in capturing nine Hungarians with
the proprietor, Livensky. They were all
locked up in the Twenty-eighth ward station.
WANT TO TEY IT OVEB.
A Conple of Applications for Rebeurlngs by
the Grand Jury.
"W. D. Moore, Esq., yesterday filed peti
tions asking the Court to recommit to tbe
grand jury two cases, in which bills had
been ignored and the costs placed on tbe
prosecutors, back to the grand jury. One
was the case of "William Ninschenheim, who
was charged by J. Honfnagle, of No. 46
Bntler street, with libel. In his statement
Mr. Honfnagle asserts that last April he
and Mnschenheim were applicants for liquor
license. Mnschenheim carried around a
remonstrance against Honfnagle. It was
alleged that the latter was a drunkard and
not the right kind of a man to run a house,
and that bummers and loafers were kept
about. Also, things were put into the re
monstrance alter it was signed by different
parties. Owing to these statements a license
was refused. One of the grand jurors, he
stated, while the case was pending, abused
him personally in a most false and scandal
ous way, with a view to influencing tbe
grand jury to ignore the bill.
Statements from the Iter. J. D. Sands, J.
Piatt, Mr. Nicol and C. R. Miller, who
were witnesses before the irrand jury, ac
companied the petition. They said they
had signed the remonstrance, but had no
recollection of the clanse ot intemperate
habits, and that the bouse was a dangerous
one for women and children to pass, having
seen it when they signed, The Court was
aked to send the case back to the grand
jury.
The other case was that of Robert H.
Both', charged with assault and battery on
Thomas Armstrong, Armstrong gave the
testimony that had been submitted to the
grand jury, also that of three witnesses
whom the grand jury would not hear, say
ing it was unnecessary. One juror, it was
stated, named Stewart, of Homestead, a
friend of Both's, while the hearing was
pending, by his questions showed himself
perfectly familiar with the case. It was
asked that this case also be sent back.
CENTRAL TEASES COUNCIL.
Important Chaoses In the Constitution of the
Organization.
The regular meeting of the Central Trades
Conncil was held last night, with President
J. O. Stuart in the chair. The resignations
of John Neiman and Gus Kreil from the
Executive Board were received and accept
ed. J. L. Evans and "Wm. S, James were
elected to fill their places.
The committee on the McGaw investiga-
tion reported progress. They stated that,
as some of the interested parties were away,
and they desired to give everyone who
wished it a hearing, they would hold over
their report till the next meeting of the
Council, when it will be submitted.
An amendment to the constitution was
adopted providing that where a faction
withdraws from an organization represented
in the Trades Council and presents creden
tials, they shall not be admitted until con
sent is given by the older organization.
The constitution was also amended to pro
vide that if the Executive Board, through
anv cause, should fail to hold a meeting
between two regnlar meetings of the coun
cil, then all bnsiness before the Executive
Committee shall be taken up by the Trades
Council at its meeting and acted upon.

LISTEN TO THE BIRD.
The American Eagle Preparing to
Scream in Schenley Park in
A PROPERLY PATRIOTIC MABNER,
Oratory, Husic, Fireworks and Sports on
the Programme.
A GREAT F00BTH OF JDLI ABSUBED
The American eagle will scream on Fri
day. It will not be the weak whimper of
the eagle on a dollar suffering from the
tight grasp of covetoasness, but the gener
ous scream of patriotism that rends the blue
vault of heaven and causes the nations of
the earth to shudder at the royal wrath of
the proud bird of freedom.
Mayor Gourley, as the Chief Executive of
Pittsburg, calls the attention of our citizens
to the absolute importance of instilling into
the minds of the young of this generation
the principles of patriotism. He says: "We
want to train them to know and realize that
the "Fourth of July is the anniversary
of this nation's birth. "We want to
observe ihis day for the purpose,
furthermore, of Americanizing the foreign
element in this country. "We want to make
out of tbe Irish, the Scotch, the English, the
German, the Scandinavian, the French, the
Italian, in fact, of all aliens in tbe com
munity, good American patriots. By this
patriotic teaching we shall forever destroy
in this country the spirit of Anarchy and
Nihilism which has from time to time mani
fested itself."
THIBTT THOUSAND PEOPLE EXPECTED.
The arrangements for the Fourth of July
oelebration at Schenley Park have so far
progressed as to assure a great success in
every particular. "Yesterday afternoon
Mayor Gourley said that the people had
responded more liberally than had been
hoped, and he would be able to carry out
the plans perfectly. He expects from 25,000
to 30,000 people, and particularly wants it a
"children's day." The arrangements have
been made with the view of caring for the
comfort, safety and pleasnre of the little
ones, and the Mayor urges parents to bring
their children out to hear the declaration
of Independence read, and see an old time
Fourth of July celebration with modern im
provements. Here is one point the Mayor desires to
impress upon parents. Bring your little
ones and a big basket of provisions and en
joy an old-fashioned picnic. The park is
full of shady nooks in which a family party
can enjoy itself with a due degree of
privacy.

COULDN'T lEAVE HEE IN JAIL.
Judge Collier cleats Just as He Was
Boarding a Train.
Mrs. Bridget Biley, who was sentenced
yesterday by Judge Collier to 3 months
and 20 days in jail, and a fine of $550, on
two charges of illegal liquor selling, was
subsequently released from jail on an order
from the Judge suspending the sentence.
Before Mrs. Kiley was called up for sen
tence Judge Collier was of the opinion that
she had already been punished in no small
degree by her long residence in jail, where
she gave birth to twin boys about three
weeks ago, and made her sentence compara
tively a light one. Mrs. Riley was consid
erably cast down by her sentence, however,
bnt soon recovered on recollecting that, as
she had no home to go to, the jail was not so
bad after all. The jail officials were there
fore greatly surprised about 4 o'clock when
an order was received to deliver Mrs. Biley
over to an officer for appearance in court.
The officer stated that the Jndge had
made up his mind to the move while wait
ing for a train to take him home. He
had been affected by the prisoner's pathetic
appearance as she came before htm for sen
tence, bearing Michael Trice Biley on one
arm, and Peter Soffel Biley on the other,
and at the last minute he said: "I must
release that poor woman. I cannot go home
and leave her in jail." He came back to
the Conrt House at once and ordered her
release.

A Fisht to Keep an Original Packago Off
a Steamboat.
Teddy Burns paid $10 and costs yesterday
for attempting to carry an original package
on board the steamer Mayflower. Captain
Anshuiz bad secured the services of Detec
tive Robinson to see that no one brought
liquor on board and to keep improper char
acters away. Burns tried to pass the officer
with a quart bottle of whisky, but was J
ordered off. He then picked up a cobble-1
stone to throw at the officer, but the latter
lumped for him
The two men fonght all over the wharf, a
couple of hundred friends encouraging
Burns in his 'resistance to the officer. Rob
inson stuck to his man, and finally landed
him in the Central station.

BIG PE0PI A TEUKG OFTflE PAST.
Growti of Intelligence Crowding Out the
Drinking Habit.
POLITICIANS "EEJOICB AT THE PACT
There is either a less amount of stimu
lant consumed in Pittsburg than formerly,
or people go about the consumption in a
different manner than in former years.
Various causes are assigned, some of which
follow:
Observant persons have noticed a great
change in tbe last 20 years, one that would
not attract the attention of strangers, per
haps, but is prominent to life-long citizens
who-keep eye and ear open. 'Squire Cas
sidy was induced to scan bis mental
note-book, last evening, and he ob
served that silent influences had
been taking root for more than a
decade that promise in a few years more to
revolutionize society in this city. In the
first place the long strikes following the ebb
alter the currency inflation taught thousands
the necessity of economizing people who
would never" have learned it in any other
school. Another thing readily observable
is the growth of the reading habit, which
has increased much faster than the growth
cT the city. Mr. Cassidr estimates that the
newspaper circulation has doubled since
1880, while population has increased less
than 6 per cent in the same time.
OBTAININQ MEHTAL NOUEISHMENT.
"While it may be true, and doubtless is, as
some hold, that many people take newspa
pers merely to get police and sporting news,
and are not greatly nourished, yet there can
be no doubt that w'hilb looking for this news
they will stumble from time to time on
something substantial,and gradually acquire
a taste for better mental pabulum. The
doubling in circulation of Pittsburg papers
means an increase of 350,000 readers in the
territory of which it is tbe center, and the
broadening of reasoning base to that ex
tent 'Squire Cassidr Bays it1 will
eventually be felt in politics, as
it has already in morals. He has
detected a weakening in machine power,
in that it takes more cash to accomplish po
litical results than formerly, though the
number of vote-sellers has not increased
with population. He also states that a fac
tor in this intellectual diffusion has been
trads-unionism. Thero are brainy men in
unions who are well up in economic ques
tions, and advocates of both high tariff and
tariff reform, who could give 20 per cent of
our Congressmen points. As iron sharpen
ed iron, so these men sharpen the intellects
of men of less endowment, stimulate thought
and desire for knowledge.
LESS DRINKING NOW.
Mr. Cassidy further calls attention to the
fact that the drinking habit has declined
'greatly since the '603. Twenty years ago
Pittsburg supported more saloons than she
does to-day, and most of them made money.
It may be argued that there has been an in
r "wanity" is of a milder type than that of
crease in home drlnemg, bnt it so, the
20 years aeo. beintr Generally beer instead
of whisky. Some may hold this as an argu
ment for high license, which reduces
the number of saloons, but it is partly, at
least, tbe outgrowth of the reading
and thinking habit. The vacuum which
nature abhors must be filled, either by
thought or the fumes of booze, and it does
not detract from the assertion to say that
many men of silted minds drink to excess.
There are other reasons for their intem
perance. Finally, Mr. Cassidy observes what a con
siderable number of other people have, to
wit: While there may he more speak-easies
or original package houses next year than
this, it is almost certain there will be fewer
saloons. He would not give names for pub
lication, but he knew a number of saloon
keepers, who were not making any money,
but were being carried by wholesale dealers
and brewers, in the hope that bnsiness may
grow before the present licenses expire.
SAXOONISTS .COSING MONET.
Thus it is seen that 307 liquor sellers, even
with speak-easies hermetically sealed, can
not all make money, pay high rents and 5500
license, though nearly 1,000 flourished 20
years ago, with more than 100,000 less pop
ulation to draw from. In view of the whole
situation, one must conclude that either
people drink much less than formerly, or
have chosen some other stimulant than those
furnished by saloon keepers.
From another sonrce it was learned that
the reduction in the number of saloons have
been a great saving to politicians who wish
to be considered in their claims for favor, on
their merits alone, and conversely, an elim
ination of the political rooster's power.
County Commissioner Mercer casually re
marked that it cost much less to make a
political canvass now than formerly,
and this started a discussion that
intensified the contrast between the present
and tbe days when ex-CommissionerBeckert
was in office. Then the procession of bum
mers who insisted not only on candidates
for office buying tickets to metaphysical
balls, picnics, etc., and to real events of
these descriptions, but considered even
those safely in tbe saddle of legitimate 1
game.
WANT OUT Or THE BUSINESS.
Saloons on promtueut thoroughfares are
still largely patronized, but in the suburbs
many proprietors wish they had their 500
and other expenses incurred back in their
pockets, and would exchange tbeir licenses
for them and give, a little to boot.
A good many people want to transfer,
some of them succeed and some do not. Yes
terday was fixed for the hearing on the ap
plication oi W. L. Lippmcott for the trans
fer of his wholesale liquor dealer's license
at tbe corner ot Smithfield and West Car
son street to A. A. Milligan, of Boggs
avenue. The case was not reached and
there seemed to be an impression in the
Clerk of Court's office that the petition will
not be granted when it Is reached. The ap-
?lication of Charles Manning to transfer to
'. E. Brophy, and Fred Schnltis to L. W.
Ebert were granted.
A. J. McQuitty stated that he had heard
that saloon keepers in Mansfield and Char
tiers boroughs were not doing much busi
ness, though there are but five saloons, and
in former years there were over 40 within
the same boundaries, and all made a living
and some laid away money.
NO MORE EICH HAEVESTS.
George H. Bennett & Bros, stated that
they had not noted any change, but as thev
do a wholesale business and are not in the
bottle and jug trade, they conld not esti
mate what effect tbe latter might have on
the saloon trade. They had understood,
bowever, that wholesaling in a bottle and
jug way had hurt saloons in the suburbs,
and they supposed there was some truth in
the reports.
A number of people said they had heard
that the saloon keepers, as a,class, were not
reaping anything like so great a harvest as
they did last year, and they knew this to be
the fact, for they knew of a considerable
number who were trying to dispose of their
business, or or at least getting ready to1 try.
Superintendent Alexander, of the Grain
Exchange, stated that he had heard of sev
eral in Allegheny.
A Sbaipabbrg Wedding.
George H. Moore, of Sharpsburg, and
Miss Eliza Moritz, daughter of a well
known and wealthy farmer of O'Hara town
ship, were married Thursday evening at the
home of the bride. Rev. Mr"., Helmkamp,
of Sharpsburg, performed the ceremony.
Only near friends and relatives were present,
Mr. Moore is one of the most popular young
men of Sharpsburg. The young conple
were the recipients pf a host or handsome
and valuable gifts from 'admiring friends.'
NOT WATER ENOUGH.
Phillips As Stlttenzvfei'a Cooper Shop
Burned Down Lat Evening The Fire
ram Delayed by o Bcnreity of Water
Los $3,000.
The cooper shop conneoted with Phillips
& Mittenzwei's planing mill, at the foot of
South Twentieth street, caught fire at about
10:15 last evening and was destroyed, with a
loss of about $2,000.
The cause of the fire is a mystery as no
work had been done in the shop for three
days. A neighbor first discovered it and
notified Engine Company No. 12. When
the engine arrived connection was made
with the fireplug at tbe corner of
Twentieth and Merriman's alley,
but there was not water enough
and the engine had to disconnect and try
the next plug a square off. It was thought
necessary to send in the second alarm to
save the other buildings of the firm near.
The fire was soon under control, though tbe
building was nearly destroyed, only a por
tion of tbe west end being saved.
Mr. William Mittenzwei, a member of
the firm, is now deceased, and Mr. John O.
Phillips, the other partner, lives in Alle
gheny. Mr. John Mittenzwei, a brother of
WilliamMittenzweijWasseenattbefire. He
said the building was worth about $500 and
contained about 9,000 kegs, valued at about
13 cents each, whieh would make a loss of
$1,670 with the tools, lumber, etc. The loss
will probably reach ?2,00O. Mr. Mitten
zwei did not know whether the insurance
had run out or not.
Mr, Mittenzwei said that no wafer was
thrown on the fire for fully 20 minutes after
tbe engines arrived and then there was not
enough water. He was very mad at this
fact and did not hesitate to express himself
to that effect.
Chief Stewart said there was only a four
inch main on Twentieth street, with no
force, and, of course, a sufficient supply
could not be obtained. This is tbe fourth
time tbe cooper shop was burned down, and
those who had been at previous fires said the
supply was then sufficient.
BEADY TO CAMP OUT.
The Doqucino Rod nnfi Gnn Clnb In Excel
lent Shnpc.
The Duquesne Bod and Gnn Club, of Al
legheny, has completed arrangements for
camping out this summer. It will spend
tbe month of August up tbe Monongahela
river, at No. 9 dam, in Virginia. The club
has inaugurated a new featnre in camping
out, and its summer encampment will be
provided with all the comforts and even
luxuries of a first-class hotel. It has an ele
gantly fitted up boat house GO feet long,
containing bnnk rbom, dining room and
kitchen, with covered porches at each end,
Door and window screens secure tbem im
munity from flies and mosquitoes and other
"blessings" incidental to camping out. The
bank room contains 12 fully equipped
bunks, matting on the floor and curtains on
the windows. Twelve lockers are in tbe
dining room, which, with its large ice
chest, store cupboards, china closet, exten
sion table, chairs and oil cloth, presents a
homelike appearance. In the kitchen every
article that conld be thought of by a good
housewife is present in the pink oi condi
tion. In addition, the club has two large
hospital tents, and so can live on land or
water, whichever is most suitable.
The members of the club are Clerk of
Courts D. K. McGunnegle, Jury Commis
sioners J. J. Walker and John W. Jiles,
Court Clerk Leon J. Long, O. W. Stevens,
Richard Sharp, Harry Coulter, Charles E.
Willard. J. T. Holies. Georce Kramer. D.
P. O'Doherty, J. W. Chronister, Jacob
Wainwright and B. C. Christy. The only
drawback to their plans is that the club was
originally organized to contain but 12 mem
bers. The pressure, however, from friends
desiring to join is so great that the number
will probably be Increased. If that hap
pens, Mr. Long stated, they will have to
dispose of their present quarters and build a
larger boat, a thing that will likely happen.

THE MAxNAGEBS' ANNUAL MEETING
Promptly at 230 P. m. yesterday the
board of managers of the Allegheny Cem
etery met at the Penn avenue office, on tbe
grounds. They transacted the routine busi
ness, and adopted President Charles J.
Clarke's report. Following this, the forty
sixth annual meeting of the incorporators
of the cemetery was held at 4 o'clock.
George A. .Berry was elected Chair
man, and Charles E. Speer, Secretary,
There were 15 incorporators present:
Messrs. Lynch, Harper, Clarke, C. E.
Speer, McCandless, Brunot, Walton,
Wood, Porter, Jackson, Lockhart, Berry,
Kelly, Bakewell and Gormley. The min
utes of the previous meeting were read and
adopted, after which President Clarke's re
port came up for consideration. Follow
ing Is an extract:
We have many active rivals with beautiful
and attractive grounds, In which lots are sold at
prices lower than we ask, but most, if not all 0
them, are of a speculative character, and lack
the stability that surrounds the one we repre
sent. Those who purchase our lott are the only
beneficiaries, as tbe money received is
either added to the permanent fund,
or is spent in beautifying and im
proving the grounds. The wisdom that
dictated tbe creation of the new gateway is
now being felt. Our sale of lots has been
larger this year than in any previous year, the
net sales for the 101 lots sold Deing $15,832, an
increase over the previous year of 825,654 20.
The lots range in price from $100
to 1,000 each; an average of US0.
The lot-holders on Juno 1, 1890,
numbered 4,695. Tbere were 1,131 interments
during the year, an increase of 146 over tbe pre
vious year. There bas been erected during tbe
year 27 monuments, 51 tombs, 410 bead ana foot
stones and 10 steps, at an, estimated cost to the
owners of $120,000. Tbe apparent decrease of
7.228 84 in our interest account as compared
witb the previous year is caused by a payment
of 7,695 31, made In that year of back interest
that should bare been distributed through a
period of previous years.
The total business of the Tear amounted to
$77,198 59, and for the previous year. $57,923 23;
a net lncreaso of S19.Z75 36; and from all other
sources than the sale of lots, $31,363 89. Tbe
actual cost of keeping the cemetery for the
year amounted to $15,154 50.
A number of people were arrested for steal,
ins flowers and otherwise violating the rules of
tbe cemetery. All were punished.
The board last year approved the action of
the management in refusing to lay a water
main through the cemetery, and durinz the
year four attempts were made to get well water,
bnt without success. An artesian well Is now
proposed.
The cemetery company had &L2S6 26 on de
posit at the Lawrence Bank when that institu
tion closed Its doors. It will be some time jet
oeiore we snau Know our exact loss, -nis is
tbe first serious financial loss we have met; all
other looses combined would not amount to
oyer $600.
George A. Kelly, H. K. Porter and
William Bakewell were appointed a com
mittee to draw up appropriate memorials of
tne three corporators who passed away dur
ing the year, John H. Shoenberger, William
Thaw and William M. Darlington.
The following board of members were
elected for the ensuing year: President,
Charles J. Clarke, John Harper, Felix R.
Brunot, Charles E. Speer, Frank S. Bissell,
S. C. McCandless, J. B. Jackson: Secretary
and Treasurer, Dr. James R. Speer,
Following are tbe gentlemen who were
elected to fill the three vacancies on the
Board of Corporators: James W. Paul
Judge Christopher Magee and William
Tham, Jr. A resolntion approving tho
work done by the Board of Managers was
passed, and the meeting adjonrned.

teryThe Deadly Kerosene Can Again

A frightened scream, followed by cries of
distress, attracted the attention of several
people in the Allegheny Cemetery yesterday
afternoon. Hurrying to a bend in the road
they were horrified to see a plunging, rear
ing horse staggering on the brink of a steep
embankment. The terrified animal was at
tached to a light coupe, occupied
by Mr. Felix R. Brunot, a member
of the board of incorporators of the cemetery.
He was just returning from the meeting of
the managers. Miss Mary Hogg was seated
in the vehicle. The driver straggled to hold
in the frenzied steed, but the horse darted
forward with a sudden spring, overtnrning
the conpe. Mr. Brunot was thrown vio
lently to the gronnd, while Miss Hogg fell
in the road, miraculously escaping fatal in
juries. The driver was badly hurt and was
taken to the West Penn Hospital.
The rest are doing well. The coupe was
completely mined, while the horse was cap
tured soon after.
Agnes McMinn, an old lady living on
Francis street, Thirteenth ward, fell down
a flight of stairs at her home last evening,
dislocating her right hip and receiving an
ugly scalp wound.
While working at tho shears in Sboen

Hugh O'Donnell, the well-known labor
leader of Homestead, and one of the bright
est men in the Amalgamated Associa
tion, has left for Dnnbar to distribute
$1,000 among tbe families of the entombed
miners. Tbe money was donated by the
Amalgamated Association.
It is probable that collections will be
taken up in many of the churches in the
two cities to-day for the benefit of the
stricken people. Last Sunday donations
were made in nearly all the Catholio
churches, and qnite a sum of money was
realized.

there was not the shadow of a suspicion, was
arrested on a warrant from Alderman
Reilly's office, charging him with personat

The charge was made by County Detective
Beltzbooyer. In default o! bail Cook was
