The pity find of Forbes avenue now rum to Itnyd Mreet, and the former thoroughfare facet (he jrour4 owned by It, U, Hartley, (lie fiinithfield street merchant Standing on Mr. Hartley's ground are two frame carpenter shops and a frame abed, The atreet will be ran right through portloqa of these buildings; only a corner on eaoh will be left standing, Back of Mr. Hartley's ground, and on Watson street, is a three etory brick house owned and occupied by John McNulty, the liveryman. The atreet will cut right through Mr. McNulty'a house and John Russell's two houses, ou the same street, will suffer a like fate. Mr. Russell owns another bouse around the corner on Shingiss street, and exactly one half of tbe lot on which it stands will be taken. Across Shingiss street, the new thoroughfare rill mow down half of the Beyman Brewing Company's supply depot, which stands on ground owned by the Schenley estate. Thence it will run through several vacant lots back of houses on the sonth side of Old avenue, leased by Charles Campbell; then through another lot, until it reaches a frame house at tbe corner of Try street, owned by the M. Batch heirs. It will tear a corner off the Patch house, and then will cobble up all hut a little corner of a brick blacksmith shop on Try street, leased and operated by John Boll am. Next to this shop is another frame house, leased by the same gentleman, which will also have to go. The street will then run across Try street, and a little alter ation will have to be made at the mouth of the Panhandle tunnel. It will then run past the old Criminal Court House and into the month of Diamond street. THE GEADING TO BE DOXE. Considerable grading will have to be done on the new street All the property af fected between Shingiss and Try street is owned by Mrs. Schenley, and the ground is away below the level of Old avenue. At Shingiss street a fill of fully 20 or 25 feet will have to be made owing to the situation of the cronnd. One thing, deplored by many of the hill residents who have to pass along Old ave nue, is that tbe new street will not wipe out all the old shanties on Mrs. Scbenley's ground and which have been an eyesore for years. J. O'Leary, Jr., of the Board of Viewers, was lonnd in hit office yesterday working en the plans for the improvement of the street. "When asked when he expected tbe city to begin the work of opening it up, he said: "In less than two weeks tlio work will begin. The only thing not finished yet, in our department, Is clerical work. We will notify all tbe people effected by the im provement, and will hare tho notice out In a fvvr days." "Why la the street being opened at the present time?" was naked. "Well, the original ordinance to open Forbes avenue Into Filth avenue met w Ills ao much opposition that In order to get the thoroughfare opened, and at tbe least ex pense to the taxpayer, It was decided by Councils to abandou tho Fifth avenue Idea and have Forbes avenuo terminate nt tho mouth of Diamond street. About a iloren years neo, or morn, an ordinance wont through Councils to open tho atreet to Fifth avenue, but tho people whoso property would be benefited objeoted to tho Improve ment. The project would coat about (300,000, and by this change (he improve ment will not cost more than (50,000. OWMISUH Or THE OltOUNU. "The ground to lie taken Is owned by Mrs. Bebenley, It. If. Hartley, John McNulty and John JUuascll. Willi the exceptions of tbo bouses on McNultv' and ltusseU's lots, tbe buildings aro not worth much. I ex pect to tee tho grouud broken within two weeks." As toon as tbe street is opened the Du quesno Traction Company will put down Its tracks. The question of how this road will get down town bat been something of a mystery until now, although the ofllclala of tho company say the routo has not yet been fully deolded upon. It is authoritatively stated that tho road will run onntrncK uown High street to Sixth avenue, using tbe tracks of tbe Ceutral Traction Company, thence to "Wood street and to Forbes street by way of Diamond. Track-laylng on tbo latter street will begin sborllj. The statement was made yesterday that tbe Pittsburg Traotlon Company was about to buy out the Duquesna company. It was shown to Mr. George Bice, Vice President of the Duquesne Company, who smiled and said: "Anybody that will take the trouble to look at the wav our road is being built needs no argument to convince them that we are not putting down a road for tbe pur pose of selling out to a competitor. We are building our road to stay down, with the intention of operating it, and we will operate it by tbe end of October." BODIES OPKK TO IT. "What streets will you use to get down to ihe heart of the city, Mr. Bice?" "The matter has not yet been decided apon by the company, but we will get down all right There are' several ways of getting to the heart of the down-town district We conld come down Sixth avenue and up Dia mond street, bnt it will not be very long sow until we decide upon tbe matter. There is no hurry, and we are concentrating our energies to the road built out through Soho, BOW' A NEW CAR SYSTEM, CLAIMS THAT IT WILL BE A FORMIDABLE RIVAL OF THE CABLE. Loenl Street Car Men and Scientists Buy It Not Feasible The Theory ! All Blahl, bat In Operation Would be Im" practl cable. Giovanni B. Siccardi, an Eastern inventor of some note, has invented a new rapid tran sit system, wHch he claims will be a for midable rival to cable roads. It is a new application of Archimedes' screw. In a conduit beneath the car track, like that used for the cable, is placed a wrought iron tube, with a stout worm, and in place of a grip is a shoe pushed forward by tho worm and raised or lowered at the will of the operator by a vertical rod. To meet the difficulties of curves and grades the tube Is broken up Into short sections and jointed with boroled gearing. Tbo tube Is revolved by steam power applied at terminal and Intermediate ttatlona, and tbe rato of speed developed la determined by tbo dlanictsrof the tube and tbo length 'of the spacea between the worm. Siccardi claims that the now sjatcin will be cheaper to put down and maintain than a cable road, ltohas ollcrrd the use of his system tree to the man acers of the World's Fair, to transport pas sengers nbout the grounds.

Johnston was assisted yester day to a brilliant idea by a pair of Dispatch men who casually met hlra, and which tbe hust ling Exposition manager will elucidate when opportunity offers. It is the establishment of a big display of salt water fish in connection with the other educational advantages attached to the industrial exhibit at the Point Tbe sug gestion arose out of a question put to Mr. John ston regarding his oil well: Supposing you strike salt water in lieu of oil, what then?" asked one reporter. "Brine alone a few fish and exhibit them," 8Dcecsted the other. "Not a bad idea," said Air. Johnston, "and one that would be altogether in my line. You know," ho continued, "that every man has bis hobby, and. of course, I have mine. Well, mine is fish; and tbere is nothing I should un dertake ith greater pleasure than tbe prepa ration of an extensive display nf fish in or about our Exposition. Of course nothing could ba done this year, but tbo idea is a cauital one.and one that nould clve creat pleasure, as well as instruction, to a number of us who are ignor ant concerning these denizens of tbe ocean. The only difficulty in tbe way would be tbe quality of the water. It probably contains minerals which would kill the fish. I certainly shall have it anal j zed. ana make sure on that point But a display of salt water fish in our Exposition would be simply immense: simply immense," and tbe worthy manager departed on his way with another idea in his bead for tbe entertainment and instruction of tbe vora cious public.

THE TOUGH ON AMERICANS City Chiefs Decide That We, as a Peo ple, Have Weak Stomachs and A DISLIKE FOE J1AN0AL LABOR. Controller Morrow Makes an Inquiry Into tbe Residence and CITIZENSHIP OP CITI EMPLOYES A writer who suffered more from bilious ness than brilliancy once declared that "Americans are a nation of dyspeptics," bnt It has been left for J. O. Brown, Chief of the Department of Public. Safety, to put a clincher to this statement by asserting that Americans havo weak stomachs. Chief BIgelow, ot the Department of Fubllo Works, also intimates that the native of this country dislikes to tinkle Dame Earth with a. shovel and pick that she may laugh with a crop of 18-luch sewors and Belgian blook pavements. City Controller Morrow, who bellevcitbat when a law eannot be successfully euforeed It should either be repealed or amended to suit the rate, Ii the moving cause of these atlaoki upon the digestive and muscular ayalemiof our people. The Controller has had lilaaltohlloii called to A rootlon In wjmt It known i the charter ordinance, which provides that "all hand of bureau", em ployes nnil fllerfcsi of (lie oily shall he eltl reus of tin Unlleil HlAlet. shall be residents nf (he oily, ami eliall reside therein during Ihrlr term of aervleeaml eiiiplurmeiili nntl hall linvn tealileil In the oily at liait ill mini llis prior in their employment," MlliMUIJif Of A AOODIIilNfli Mr, Morro billeventlial tlili provision Ii Inn fur.reaflliliiH, and in nnlur to leenra (lie views nl Hi persons Inliresleil In llieiiU JmI, aililreaiibl a Inter In tlin Mayor Hint lli lieails nfeiieh i1(tpnrtnitnt Asking fnr a Hit at their nnn resident swlinnllnslM, Nn far he lift", reeelved but two amwers, frnm the TrsAmrer and (he Chief Aaiesunri wlin.a employe" Are miea all in he residents ot Pittsburg and Pit! sens of the United MlAtes, ,. , ..

We do net ask them If they are residents or citizens all n a want are men with strong stom achs. I don't believe the average American wnuld or could perform this work," Chief Blgelow, in conversation with tbe Con troller, said; "I could not operate my depart ment If that rule was rigidly enforced. We employ a large number of men who work with pick ana shovel, and you don't find many Americans who care fur that kind of labor. In deed, it is difficult to secure enough of that kind or labor of any nationality. I have in my employ a draughtsman and a cbalnman. Tbe former is not an American citizen and the lat ter lives in Allegheny. HARD TO GET. , "I needed a draughtsman and advertised, bnt could not secure one. I finally obtained this man by answering bis advertisement for a po sition. The chainman I employed because he is a good man and understands bis duties. His is a difficult position to fill, because 'tbe rail roads snap up such men and pay them bigeor salaries than tbe city allows. 6o far as possi ble my department lives np to the laws, but in tbis instance we are forced to deviate from It slightly." Controller Morrow agreed with the Chief, and mentioned the fact that tbe employes at the City Farm, under tbe control of the De partment of Charities, were forced by the loca- tion ot tneir post oi auty to oe violators ol iuib law. If they are employed at the farm they cannot keep tbeir residence in tbe city, and if tbey keep tbeir residence tbey have no time to work at tbe farm. Mr. Morrow will draft an amendment to the ordinance for presentation at tbe next regular meeting of Councils. He does not desire that tbe provision be entirely repealed, but will ask that it be so changed as not to conflict with the proper operation of the city departments. TWO WAYS OF L00IUNG AT IT.

Two gentlemen who spent yesterday after noon in the cool corridors of the Monongahela were Lieutenant Colonel Streeter, of the Tenth N. G.

Both are from Washington county, and though brothers in arms, and very good friends, are on different sides of the po litical fence. Tbey were talking of the Gov ernorship. "I'll tell you what," said the Major, "If Sam Randall was alive, I believe be would be our next Governor, and what is more I should voto for him though I never dovlated from tbe straight Republican ticket yet in my life. As It la, Delamater will be elected by a full 60,000 majority." "Hold nn, there," said Colonel Btreetor, wbo was Chairman of the Washington County Democratic Convention, "what's tbe mattor with Pattlsonr I tell you that a eood many Republicans down our way, and In Fayette and Westmorland counties aro going to vote for blm. Put roo dowu as saying that Paulson will he asked to Journey on to llarrlsuurg and not Delamater." "You're joking," retorted tho Major, "yon will never return a Domocratio Governor by the aid of Washington county Democrats until you burn down alt the sohoolbouses and turn them into breweries. Thoo you will all beeomo good, honest Republicans, And be afforded an opportunity of having a voleeln the govern ment of tho country."

An Important Lecal Decision Rendered at Harrlsbnre The Law Explnlaed Opin ions ofLocal Druse 1st on the Matter Doctors Wbo Thoroughly Understand Pharmacy. Someone in Harrisburg has discovered that doctors may mix drugs may be pharmacists. He finds in the case of the Commonwealth against Dr. William H. Prowell, of Steelton, whom a jury found guilty of carrying on tbe business of an apothecary without having obtained a certificate of competency and qualification to do so from the State Pharmaceutical Examining Board of Pennsylvania, and with, out having duly registered as such, contrary to tho act of Mav 24. 1SCT. Judge Blmonton granted a now trial on the ground that the facts Tn tho esse, which wero argued noon in wrltlns and on which tho verdict was based, did not snstaln tbo verdict as dofondant did not vlolato tbe act of 1887." Now, as Dr. W. T.

The Court held that "the facts agreed upon show that the defendant's ease came within the language of section 11 of the act of 1887, mid, If the persons having the tpmlincatlons stated In said aeetlon are entitled lo be registered and to receive a certificate without examination, the convletlnn In this time cannot bo aiutalned.''

It was reported in Chicago real estate circles that tbe Westinghouse Air Brake Works were to be removed from tbis city to Chicago. Mr. George I.

FRIDAY, JULY 18, . NOT SMOOTH SAILING The Workmen in Two Cily Mills Run Against Snags in tbe Extras. A STRIKE EXPECTED IN ONE T0-DAY Moorhea'd & McGleane Bald to be Dissatis fied With, the Scale. WHAT THE FIRM HAS TO SAY ABOUT IT There Is trouble In two of the largest mills In the oltv over the Amalgamated scale. There is likely to be a strlko to-dar in Jones & Laughllns' mill on tho Bobthslde, on ac count of tho third clause In'thp list of extras of the puddling scale. According to tho statement of ono of the foremost workmen, made last night, tho trouble Is as follows! "Last year the scale mado no provision for hard iron, but tho constitution of tbe association provided that where five puddlers required more than the speolflod time to oompleto their turn, CO eenli per fon extra ebould bo oharged. This year tho oonventlon deolded lo put tha elause In (ho scale.

When asked to verity or deny tbe statement, Mr. Moorhead, wbo an swerad the telephone, replied that he bad no Information about bis private business to give to tbe public, and that It was no one's business If they did let their steel department remain Idle all summer. "Besides," he added, '-I don't like to talk over the telephone.'1 "Well, will you give me tbo Information I desire it I come to your officer" asked tbe re porter. "I don't know whether I will or not," was the reply. With this sort of a semi-assurance that notn Ing would be gained. The Dispatch man went to Soho and called at the offlco in person. Here be was met by Mr. Moorhead, who seemed to be in abont as indignant a frame of mind as It Is possible for a man to possess. Td like to knowwhoso business it is whether we run or remain idle. Does our mill belong to the public? Do our employes belonc to the public, that we must account for every move we make? I nave no information to give you." "Well, you do not deny your intention to close down your steel department?" "I deny or affirm nothing. There (pointing to an adjoining room) is Mr. McCIeane's office. Perhaps he will tell you what you want to know." AS HE LOOKS AT IT. Mr. McCleane was found reclining In an easy chair, and looked the picture of meekness. When told what was wanted, be flew almost Into a rage. "What is it your businessT What is It The Dispatch's business, or anybody else's business,what wo aro coing.to do," said be, and then, entirely evading the inquiries, be continued to express his opinion relative to newspapers publishing rumors without in quiring into their truth. Finally McCleane admitted that it was not certain whether tbeir mill would be in operation or not. inere are some matters now under dlscnssion, and it all depends upon their settlement "Wo have a great deal of made-up material on bands, and could stand a shut-down pretty well," said Mr. McCleane "but we don't like to remain idle. I really cannot tell you what we will do, and, as I said before, it is no one's business. rNDTJSTBIAL NOTES. Nows From tho Mills nnd Mines nnd tbe Men Who Moke Them.

Not Entirely Bailable to the Need of Pltte. bars Maonfactarera Ralee from tho Soulh n Compared with Those from Other Points. "The importation of Southern pig iron to Pittsburg and Western Pennsylvania in general is a matter that occupies the atten tion of Iron manufacturers and brokers to a comparatively small degree. This Is so in the case of mill and foundry iron, nnd especially In the case ol Bessemer grades, which ia,so unsuitable to the use of Pittsburg manu facturers that It Is not a factor in competition with the local product at all. When the Pennsylvania Company, after reducing tbe rates on Southern iron, anr lng several years, deemed It advisable to again raise tbem.tho matter did not so affect either lecal manufacturers or Southern makers oi tne commodity as the increase In tho rato wouia seem to hint. , ,.

Tbe profits on manufacture are very little more than last year. Pig Iron sells for from (2 SO tn 3 per ton rooro this year than last while the cost of manufacture is greater now by $2 SO to 13 75 per ton than last ear. Tbis Is due to the increased cost of coke and now ore. Tbo demand for pig Iron in the West is greatly on the Increase. I was speaking lately with the representative nf a Chicago Jobbing house wbicb does an 13.000.000 a year business, and be said that their trade was from twice to three times greater now than last year.

He carries a medil with four bars, won by his prowess in marksmanship in the contests of 1887, 18S8 and 1889. The fourth Is also for 18S8. and it belongs, bo explains, to someone wbo had lost it. He carries it, he says, so that it may not be altogether lost to the owner mould he appear In course of time. The Major also carries on his breast a badge for wine shooting. Either with the shoteun or rifle Major Hazlett can about bold his own with most marksmen. A FAMILY ESTRANGED As tbe Besult of a Man Taking His Slster-In-Iiiivv Riding.

He contlnuedi D008 AND VOTEP.S, "We have a population ot 80,000 on tbe Southside, which would give us 16,000 voters. I would not like to say that tbure are as many dogs as voters, but every man I know keep at least one dog. The dogs have increased very rapidly of late, nothing having been done to lessen tbeir numbers for over four years. They are a great nuisance on the Southside. and it Is timo something was done to keep tbem down." Inspector McAleese is well pleased with the Srogress of tbe work. He fully indorses Chief rown's proposition to place a heavy tax upon dogs, and holds that a canine that is not valned hy its master at So or 10 a year has notblncltii live for and mlg it as well die. The Inspector has noted a curioustact. The dogs htve besun to realize that there is an orprtized movement by the police to pnt them out of tbe way, and they shun every man in uniform.
