lie Sorthsiae His to Ealse Millions to Build Water
Works aid Streets.
In ascertaining the feeling among Alle
ghenians yesterday on the consolidation of
the county into one city, it was learned that
there is a powerful sentiment prevailing in
business circles favoring the proposition.
The list of merchants and manufacturers
who advocate fusion is swelling in numbers.
Indications show that the incorporation of
Allegheny county into one city is fast meet
ing with the approval of thinking men.
Many piominent citizens who were inter
Tiewed by a DisrATCH rep6rter expressed
thetffselves as ready at once to cast their
votes at the ballot bor in support of con
solidation. Considerable surprise was occasioned yes
terday when the significant fact was de
veloped that scores of Alleghenians who
formerly opposed fusion with Pittsburg have
altered their opinions and are now on record
cs favoring the project Mr. John Thomp
son, manufacturer of linseed oil in Alle
gheny, and a resident of that city, spoke as
follows on the question last evening:
CHANGED HIS MIND.
"Some months ago I was opposed to join
ing Pittsburg, but I am for it now. Pitts
burg is rapidly gaining prestige the
world over, and it the entire county
was included within the oity limits
it would be beneficial for all concerned.
There is one w.iv to bring the business in
terests on this side of the river to the front
That is to join Pittsburg. If we are a part
of that city then jobbing houses will be es
tablished over here, somewhat similar to
the arrangement in Chicago. Traders
would arrive in Pittsburg, ask where So-and-So,
the wholesale merchant, is located,
be directed to the north side oi PitUburg,
jump on a car and come OTer here. It
would advance the commercial interests of
the people here, and is certainly the most
practical thing to do."
Prominent among those advocating con
solidation is Mr. Joseph McKee, the
Allegheny grocer. He said, speaking of the
advantages which would accrue directly to
the sister city through that arrangement:
"Allegheny is swallowed op in name and in
thought by Pittsburg. I have always favored
annexation. Many who were lormerly an
tagonistic to the union ol the two cities have
told me that they are now prepared to
back up the propsal to consolidate.
AS TO TAXES.
"Taxes are actually as high in Allegheny
as in Pittsburg. "We pay more in Pittsburg,
but get one-third more rent for property,
which is practically the same thing. It is
deplorable mat we nave no newspaper or
jobbing bonse in this city. In order to cure
these ills, the consolidation of Allegheny
connty into one first-class city should re
ceive the recognition of all thinking men.
I wonld like to see it accomplished as
speedily as possible. I never registered
myself as from Pittsburg when inditing my
signature away irom home, bnt at heart
wished that I ronld. Another obnoxious
future ot this divided policy is the lact that
"jffrias become an instinct among Alleghen
ians to go to Pittsburg when they want to
purchase something. It is often the case in
all lines of goods. When they want
this or that article they seem to be in
fluenced by an indefinable desire to get it
from the dealers across the river. We
should have one and only one city. Let it all
be Pittsburg and notbin'g but Pittsburg."
The point often raised by those who object
to joining Pittsburg is that the taxation in
this city is much higher than in Allegheny,
bnt this statement is contradicted by numer
ous well-known property owners who pay
taxes in both cities. In order to throw some
light on this matte. Controller Morrow, of
Pittsburg, was seen yesterday, and the fol
lowing opinion elicited from him:
GET "WHAT THEY PAY FOE.
"The rate of taxation in Pittsburg is 15
mills on a dollar. Property owners receive
considerably more for rent than Alle
chenians do, which balances the acconnt
I think Allegheny will expect a great deal
if she attaches herself to Pittsburg. It will
not benefit us to the extent that it will in
crease the prosnerty of Allegheny. I think
we would get the worst ot the deal. The
addition to our population would not make
Pittsburg a first-class city. It would take
the whole county of about 500,000 people to
do this. The total population oi Pittsbnrg
and Allegheny, according to the census just
taken, is only about 365,000."
Controller Brown, of Allegheny, fur
nished the following figures: "The city tax
proper of Allegheny is 8 mills on the dollar.
Then there is a poor tax of 1 mill, sewer tax
of one-fourth of a mill, sinking fund ditto,
and a High School tax of one-third of a
mill, making in all 9.83 1-3 mills."
Superintendent o. Police "Weir remarked
yesterday afternoon: "Incorporate the
county and make it a first-class city. I
favor the extension of the limits. If there
are not enough inhabitants in Allegheny
county to make Pittsburg a city of the first
class, then take in a piece of Butler."
SIGNIFICANT FIGURES.
"W. B. Ford, Delinquent Tax Collector
"The thing has been talked of for years, and
some day the two cities will be one. There
is very little difference in the debts of the
two cities, comparatively speaking, and
Allegheny will &oon have to contract a debt
of about $3,000,000. A water works for the
town will certainly have to be built, and
the city will bave to do something in the
wav of street improvements. There is not a
decent street in the town. Federal street is
not paved, you might say. Pittsburg is in
a first-class condition. "We have good
streets., plenty of water and have plenty
xuonev in the treasury."
Ex-Postmaster Myler, of Allegheny, ob
served: "It seems to be apparent that as
long as the two cities are divided we will
not have ree bridges. If they were merged
into one municipality we could go belore
the Legislature at Harrisburg, state that
there is no reason why people should be
compelled to pav toll to cross bridges in the
heart of the city while going from one part
to another, and thus secure some action to
ward having the bridges appraised and
purchased by the peonle. This will be dit
ficnlt to do so long as Allegheny and Pitts
burg are two distinct corporations."
AMEGHENY IS UNKNOWN.
Mr. E. Holden, the druggist, in comment
ing1 on the matter, mentioned a new teature
in connection with the cabe. He said:
"When we have goods sent to us Irom New
York, marked Allegheny, they are invaria
bly shipped by a roundabout course, arriv
ing; here a week or ten days later than if
they were directed to Pittsburg. People in
other parts of the country are apparently
uncertain as to the location or Allegheny,
-which is little known outside of the local
limits."
Mr. Bachman, the Federal street tailor:
"I think it would benefit Allegheny to go
in with Pittsburg.-
"9os. sentiment is echoed by Mr. J. "W.
Gibson, the grain and feed merchant, on the
Diamond. He said: "Consolidation has
rst-class advantages."
Mr. Joseph "W. Maginniss, hardware
merchant, said: "I believe in the fusion of
the -entire county for the benefit of the com
munity at large."
Mr. James Anderson, plumber, on tied
Diamond, said: "I consider the proposition
to annex Allegheny and the surrounding
country as a good plan from a business
point of view."
IT "WOULD BOOM BUSINESS.
Interest is growing among Ohio street
merchants in the direction of incorporating
the county. Mr. George "W. Barratt, the
boot and shoe dealer, said: "Business would
spread over here if we were one city. Pitts
burg is cramped for want of space, and if
it were once known that Allegheny was
a part or Pittsbnrg, business would branch
ont mora in this direction. Consolidation
is a good thing."
Mr. C. Schreiber. the hotel keeper, said:
"It is a firt rate scheme, and I would like
to see the whole county become one city."
Mr. P. P. Thomas, furniture dealer.
Fusion wonld be a gain to both cities.
Mr. Eisenbeis, shoe dealer I voted
against annexation years ago, and often
thought afterwards whether I hadn't made a
mistake. I would vote different now.

"Well-known Pittsburgers expressed them

H. K. Keteler I am heartily in favor of

James Flood I am in lavor of taking the

C. A. Edsoll I would like to see the en

George S."Wood I want the whole county

Captain Thomas E. Kerr I am opposed
to the annexation of the entire county, but
In favor of consolidating Pittsburg and Al
legheny. County Commissioner Mercer "With an
equitable distribntion of the burden of taxa
tion I would favor annexation of the entire
county. Some kinds o property can stand
more taxation than others. The laborer
pays what seems an enormous amount of tax
on his little lot and house, compared with
what farmers pay, bnt they pay all they are
able, and they are burdened unduly, com
pared with corporations. Valuations, too,
are ridiculously made. Take, for instance,
McKeesport, with a valuation of 53,000,000,
which ought at least be $15,000,000, possibly
520,000,000. The system works hard
ship, and some wide-awake busi
ness men in McKeesport are ashamed
of the showing the borough makes. "With
such classification, of course some classes of
property mnst bear an undue burden. In
this city much property it valued at fnll
price, and at McKeesport, for instance, at
but one-fifth, at most The taxes farmers
pay seem lelatively Bmall in comparison,
and yet they are much larger than those
paid by corporation."
ABOUT HALF A MILLION
Is the Estimated Popolntlon of Allegheny
Connty Poor Remuneration for the
Work Another Inlormnttoa Made
Eleventh Census District Figures.
It was stated at the census office yesterday
that the enumeration for the connty wonld
not exceed 500,000 people. It is exceedingly
difficult to give even a fair guess, but the
returns so far received indicate that the total
will be about a half million. All the dis
tricts in the connty have been heard from
except two or three; the enumerators of these
districts had unusually large districts as
signed them, hence the delay. All the
enumerators will make their final reports in
a few days, and then the official count can
be aseertained at a later period.
The work has been well done considering
the remuneration. Very few of the men
encaged in the work have averaged 52 per
day, while it is easily worth at least 55 a
day. The men employed have been in al
most every case competent ones and cnuid
make better wages at other work. It is es
timated that the enumerators iu this district
will receive about 525,000.
J. A. Clugston, the enumerator of Patton
township, made information against Marska
Gabar, a Hungarian boarding housekeeper,
who relused to answer the question. A
warrant was issued ana placed in the hands
of Marshal Harrah. The defendant would
not answer or permit any of his boarders to
answer.
Dr. "William Denny, of Claysville, the
Census Supervisor lor the Eleventh dis
trict, was in the city yesterday, and said the
work in his district would be completed in a
few days. Only one enumerator, J. C.
Bailey, of TJniontown, Fayette county, re
ported any retusal to answer. Mr. Denny
says the number of inhabitants of his dis
trict will probably reach 300,000. The
Eleventh district embraces five counties,
which will, it is estimated, show the follow
ing number of inhabitants: "Washington,
65,000; Greene, 30,000; Beaver, 45,000; Som
erset, 30,000; Fayette. 60,000, and West
moreland, 75,000. These figures indicate a
considerable increase over the census of
1880, and will show a healthy growth in the
last decade.

Chicago, July 2. The "World's Fair

A GREAT FACT0E IS ODE PROSPERITY
Comparatively few people in this county
of mammoth enterprises fully appreciate
bow much of its business activity for some
years past is attributable to petroleum de
velopment. Few even among those who
travel through the territory in the south
west of the county stop to consider the
enormous expenditure oi money there, and
though much of it is lost to operators, it
has given a vast amount of employment,
not only to drillers but to carpenters, engine
makers, rope makers, etc., beside lifting the
mortgages on hundreds of farms, whose
owners were nnable to stem the tide and
compete with "Western and Southern pro
ducers. In the Chartiers, Fores. Grove and Cora
opolis districts alone the holes bored reach
more than the enormous aggregate of 225,000
feet It would certainly be over 50 miles,
and the cost of drilling alone is over a quar
ter of a million dollars, and the total cost
Inlly 5750,000. "While some operators have
lost money, it is believed that on the whole
the investment has been probtable,the prod
uct of two wells alone, the first Arbuckle
and the A. B. Young, being worth over
5150,000.
HAS BEEK OVERLOOKED.
"While it would not be a very great task to
ascertain the entire cost of development and
return therefrom in the comity, no one ex
cept census enumerators seems to have paid
much attention to the matter.
The Chartiers district has been exception
ally good in tbe "matter of uniformity; for,
while there are some blanks, there have
been a large number of good wells and a
host of lair producers which do not make
much noise. They are still getting good
wells. The latest are on the May property,
some 250 feet south of the O'Brien wells. One
is rated at 700 barrels by ?ome and 500 by
others, and the other, which started off at
500, is said to be making over 200 barrels a
day yet The O'Brien wells, Nos. 1 and 2,
are still doing good work, though the tools
seem to be irretrievably lost in the latter,
which hurts her production. The McKee's
Bocks Company well is making 60 barrels a
day, and the O'Brien No. 3, 80 barrels, and
the "Preacher" 100 barrels a day.
At Forest Grove there seems to be no
abatement in activity, though it is said the
Fort Pitt Company has called a halt in
drilling and will ior a time devote its ener
gies to cleaning out and putting in shape its
present wells, some 15 in number. Develop
ment has lately retaken a southeast as well
as southwest direction, rigs having been
built on Moon run.
having hard luck.
The tools have been gotten out of the well
on the Nier farm, three-quarters of a mile
south of Forest Grove. Much bad luck has
been met with at this well, and fishing has
been the principal ocenpation of the drillers
for several weeks past The Bridgewater
Gas Company's well, one-half mile east of
Bobb station, on the Montuur Bailway, is
going down at a satisfactory rate at present,
though the contractor was forced to drill a
water well over 200 teet deep before be
ginning active operations. t
At Coraopolis but indifferent success has
been attained. Though several wells have
been gotten none of them is large. Some
people, however, still hold to the belief that
good ones will yet be found. But thongh
success has been small in getting grease,
the development has given the village such
an impetus as it never felt before, and store
keepers and land owners have raked in
money shekels. Some two years ago when
a livery stable was established some people
thought the proprietor crazy, but now he

Take Comfort to
Yourself.
Don't carry a pound of
clothing more than you need
to now.
We'll be at our post' all
summer with the Coolest
Clothing there is, and plenty
of it for everybody who
comes.
Do you know how little
money it takes to buy Com
fortable Summer Clothing?
It's cheaper than uncomforta
bleness for a single day.
We'll have the whole line
of Thin Clothing from Serges
clear down to the cheapest
Office Coat that's worth keep
ing. As strictly well made
and proper in shape as usual
with us.
We shall not any more
than heretofore go into the

how little that amounts to.
But there'll be no let-up on
having the very lowest prices
and most reliable quality, to
make hot weather clothing
easy to get and dependable
in wear.
Get into Thin Clothing
quick. It's the go-off of sum
mer now. It'll earn you com
fort straight along. If you'll
get better than anybody else's
you can from us.
