DISPATCH, El FV 1 HELP THE POO Mayor Gourley Wants a Special Fund to Take Care of All Heedy and Indigent Strangers. COOKCILHAK1C ACTION WASTED. Claims Hade That the Department of Char ities Will Not Assist Any lot Pittsburg'Eesidents. OTHEE OFFICIALS APPKOYE THE IDEA. Kumerons Cases Cited Where People Hire Been Bar dent on the Bnrean of roliee. Mayor Gourley lias a scheme for the establishment of a fond to temporarily take charge of all objects of charity that do not come strictly speaking within the limits of the Department of Fnblic Charities. He -rants a fund created by Councils for the purpose of relieving the cases of persons who do not belong in the city, and it is probable that something rill be done about it next year, when the appropriations are made. - The attention of Mayor Gourley was called to the matter by the case of Mrs. McCormick, who came here from Pomeroy, O., looking for her husband. She spent Monday night in a miserable place on Liberty street and the following day applied to Mayor Gourley tor assistance. She was withont money and friends and after fail ing to find her husband, wanted to be sent home again. She wept bitterly in the Mayor's office and between her heart rending sobs, said the Department of Charities had refused to do anything for her. She was hungry, and there was nothing else to do but make an effort to do something for the woman. JUST A TBIFLE FBIGID. Mayor Gourley then wrote a letter to Chief Elliot, asking him to do something for her. When the letter arrived at the De partment of Charities, and while being read by Chief Elliot, icicles seemed to form and hang pendant from the side of the letter. Of course the chilly feeling between the Mayor and Chief had nothing to do with the case, but the woman was turned away. She again applied at Mayor Gonrley's office, and seemed to be desperate. Mayor Gourley then took her to Controller Mor row and asked the latter to intercede with the head of the Department of Charities. The Controller wrote a letter, and also ob tained the signature of 'William Elinn to the petition. The woman, armed with the letter from Messrs. Morrow and Elinn, again appeared at the chiefs office. This time some attention was paid to the letter and the woman furnished with transporta tion to her home. In cases of this kind it is not supposed that the Department of Charities should do anything, but the men in the office rarely turn a worthy case away. The taxes levied to support the department are for the main tenance of Pittsburg's posr,and not strangers. In speaking of the scheme yesterday, Mayor Gourley said: A HEAVY INDIVIDUAL TAX. "There ought to be some method by which every deserving poor person is helped along, no matter whether they reside in tbe city or come here from another town. Every weekl have two or three applicants for aid who tell me that the Department of Charities wHI do nothing for them. There is nothing else for me to do then bnt turn them away, or give them money ont of my own pocket. I do not think city officials shonld be made keep up these people, but the city should do it I can recall many cases where people have applied to the Department of Charities and have been turned away. When they come here I cannotaskthem why they come, but try to do what I can to relieve them. "When a man is starving it is not tbe time to ask him why he hadn't studied the question of economy to such an extent that he could live withont eating. The only thing to do in to feed him, and the sooner it is done the better. "Very often in such cases I have sent the people to Chief Brown with a note asking him to take care of them. Then they be come a burden on the Police Bnrean, and show the advantages of a city hospital. "We have had any number of women cared for in tbe Central station, who shonld never have been sent there, but were turned away from the Department of Charities. I see nothing in the law that will prevent Coun cils from making A SPECIAL APPEOPBIATIOJT each year to cover jnst such emergency esses. I do not think it wonld cost more than from 5500 to $1,000 per year, and hope to see something done about it next year, when tbe appropriations are made. A city the size of Pittsburg should certainly take care of all the cases of distress that come within her gates. .."When people become stranded here they shonld be helped along." Chief Brown, of the Department of Pub lic Safety, said: "Eorsome time I have wanted just such an institution as Mayor Gonrley speaks of. I think it wonld be a blessing, and see no reason why snch a fund should not be established. We have one woman in the Central station now who is casting the Police Bureau 75 cents a day, and from other than a humane standpoint I do not see any reason why we should be compelled to Keep her. She is a stranger, and is such a case that the Department of Charities does not want We could not allow the woman to starve in the streets, and took her in. I would favor a kind of shelterinc arms, where sick and indigent persons could be taken care of until tneir fripnrtK ri hparil frnm. T am hpsrtilv in favor of the scheme, and hope it will bear fruit My private purse has also suffered, but I do not begrudge what little I give. Nevertheless I do not see why 1 should be compelled to go down in my pocket for money to assist poor people when it is the duty of the city to do it" A LEGAL POINT INVOLVED. Controller Morrow saidt "It wonld be a most excellent thing if it can be done, al though I am not so sure that Councils have the power to use the public money for snch a purpose. The law may not say anything against it, bnt the question is. does it say anything in favor ot such a move? The acts of Assembly gives cities certain powers, and we cannot overstep our rights. I wonld like to see such a fund and do not think it wonld have to be very large." When tbe reporter mentioned the idea to Chief Elliot, the latter listened nntil Mayor Gourley was mentioned. He then turned on his heel and said he had nothing to say to Mayor Gonrley's scheme. The cold air whistled through the windows as be gave the door a bang and disappeared into his private office. The clerks at the department stated that they try to take care of all cases ' r tress, whether they belonged in the not. Nearly every case of people away, if examined, they said would jd unworthy.

The meeting will be addressed by Adjutant General Hastings, Speaker Thomas Beed, of the House of Representa tives, and United States Senator Ingalls. These gentlemen have not yet been asked to be present, but it is stated that there will be no trouble securing them, and it was decided to bill them anyhow.

Nearly 1,000 Pernona Attend tho Twenty Flflb Annual Meeting: of tbe One Hun dredth Regiment, on a Steamboat, Com bining Basinets With Pleasure. Fully GOO persons comprising the sur vivors of the One Hundredth Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers and their families and friends embarked on the steamer May flower to attend the twenty-fifth annual reunion of the society. The organization is composed of the famous "Boundheads," who did such gallant service for the country during the dark days of the rebellion. The name which they are more generally known by was given them br the late Simon Cameron when he was filling the office of Secretary of War. J. W. Xonug. a private of Company D, who came from Howan, Alaska, to attend the reunion, was present with Colonel Lazear, when Secretary of War Simon Cameron dnbbed the regiment "roundheads." "It was in August, " '61," said the vet eran, "when Colonel Lazear appeared before Secretary Cameron and asked permission to organize a regiment " 'Do you think yon could organize a reg iment similar to the invincible Boundheads who contended against Cromwell?' asked Secretary Cameron. " 'That is tbe material I shall use,' re plied the Colonel, and forever after our reg iment wore the title." It was originally intended to make a trip to Monongahcla City, bnt owing to tbe un expected rise and heavy enrrent the trip had to be deferred, and instead, the boat beaded for the Ohio and went as far as Beaver. A business meeting was held, after which addresses were delivered by distinguished members of tbe organization. After the ex ercises of the day had terminated, the veter ans sat about on the deck and indulged in reminders of the great conflict in which ihey were actively encaged and lis tened to tbe sweet strains of national airs discoursed by the band. Another pleasant teature of the re union which added materially to the enjoy ment of the evening was the singing ol 25 trained male voices, who sang war songs familiar to the old soldiers. After snpper the boat started on the return journey, and while nearing the wharf the veterans joined in singing "Hail Columbia" with tbe sing ers. The boat reached the city at 9 P. si., and the veterans parted with wishes to meet each other at the next reunion. SiKGTJIirE OP SUCCESS. Friends of Sir. Shlras TMnk He la Going to Have a Walkover.

Major McKinley had time enough last evening to seize his gripsack, and rush from his Ohio train to catch the Washing ton express, which was pnlliug ont when he tooarded it The Major's train was late, and about all he could say between his hasty gasps of breath was that the tariff bill wonld be passed, and he realized that he had a big fight on his bands in his new district, but he expected to turn down the Democratic majority of 2,500 against him. He proposes to go to work in earnest, and will make a red-hot camaign from the beginning to the end. A BHEPHEED WANTED. He Will be Supposed to Have n Great Ver ntillly of Talent.

T How Pittsburg Banks Were Taken in on the False Certificates. THB ACCUSED YIS1TIKG HIS FATHER Tbe business affairs of Baron Lager felt, Vice Consul to Sweden and Norway, are in a very complicated condition. A tel egram from Steubenvillc, O., states that the Baron had issued and sold?20,000 wortluof bogus stock certificates of the Jefferson Iron Company. Baron Lagerfelt was elected vice president of the company a few months ago and the alleged bogus stock has all been sold in Pittsburg. The BaronJs now trav eling in Europe ,and will -not he home for sometime. Writs of foreign attachment were issued in court at the suits of the Allegheny Na tional Bank, of Pittsburg, and the Keystone Bank, to seize the effects in this county ot Baron Lagerfelt The writs were directed against the Pittsburg Volksblatt Publishing Company. J. P. Lagerfelt and J. E. Hirsoh, doing business as Max Schamberg & Co., in which concerns Lagerfelt was in terested, and T. Mellon Sons, Mellon Brothers and Susie Meenan, who hold real estate belonging to Lagerfelt CHARGES OF PBA.UD MADE. In the suit of the Allegheny National Bank, Cashier E. C. Hutchinson states that June 9 Lagerfelt borrowed $10,000 from the bank. He gave as collateral security a cer tificate of 400 shares of capital stock of the Jefferson Iron Com Dan v. of Steubenyille, O. The par value of the stock was $100 per share, and it was represented that its market value was $26,000. Believingitto beallright, the stock was accepted as security and duly assigned by Lagerfelt to the bank. It has since been learned that the certificate of stock was a forgery, and that1 Lagerfelt was not a stockholder in tbe Jefferson Iron Com pany. On July 25 he left for Europe, where he now is, and it is believed that he went there to get out of the consequences of his act. To save itself, the bank desired to at tach whatever effects of Lagerfelt's it could find. An almost similar statement is made by Cashier J. H. Hayes, of tbe Keystone Bank. On July 16 Lagerfelt borrowed from them $7,000, giving as collateral security a cer tificate of 200 shares of the stock. Its mar kef value was represented to be $15,000. The certificate has been found to be a forgery, and they also want to attach what ever property of" Lagerfelt's can be found. A FOEMER PARTNER'S STORY. I. E. Hirsch, who now owns the business, formerly controlled by Max Schamberg & Company, and who formerly had Baron Lagerfelt for a partner, was interviewed yesterday. He believes the Baron will re turn and everything will b straightened. Said he: "Baron Lagerfelt was only a nominal part ner in this firm, and took no active interest whatever. He received the appointment in 1883 of Vice Consul for Sweden and Nor way. His family holds a high position in Sweden, and be 'came to Mr. Schamberg with the best of recommendations, from the nobility at home and diplomats in Amer ica. In December, 1884, he married Miss Mary Dotv. the Slaughter of !. B. Doty, of Steubenville. Mr. Doty was the largest holder of stock in the Jefferson Iron Works, and was also a big stockholder in the La Belle furnaces at Wheeling. Prom that time he devoted his entire time to his father-in-law's iron business, and for that purpose Mr. Doty had him elected Vice Presidentof the Jefferson Iron Works. As Consul he onlyibad desk room in my office. Mr. Schamberg advised-me to take theBaron as a partner. Mr. Lagerfelt put in some money but soon withdrew it' He has not a cent interested in the business now and we do not owe him anything. "As to his trip to Europe I can say that last spring tbe Stockholm papers published daily bulletins about tbe health of the Baron's father. On that account he de cided to visit him as well as to look after a higher diplomatic service. He told me he had been promised a Consul Generalship. It is my personal opinion he will return and straighten everything. On July 24 he se enred a furlough of six weeks from Wash ington, and I was empowered to attend to his business as Consul." A visit was paid to the Baron's residence on Highland avenue last night to obtain his wife's statement, bnt the servants stated she was out.thev did not know where nor when she would return. BLACK-PACE COMEDY. A Wife Turns tbe Tnblei on Her 'Hatband and He Join Her. John Hasp, a colored man living in the Thirteenth ward and his wife, are funny enough to do black-face comedy in a variety show. The couple reside in a little bower of bliss and contentment on Watt's lane. Yes terday afternoon, John celebrated some thing, he does not know what, and then went home and tried to abuse his wife. The latter did not complain but turned in to do the battle and shied tea cups at John's head. The hnsband then went before the alder man of the ward and swore . out a warrant against bis wife. The constable served the warrant onMrs. Hase and while taking her to jail, shestopped in the alderman's office, on the way down, and made information against her husband for felonious assault and battery. After landing her in jail, tbe constable went back and captured John, and ran him in also. WHAT PEOPLE AKE DOIKG. Some Who Travel. Some Who Do Not. and Others Who Talk. Postmaster W. H.

Sterretr, Who De longed to n, Fn rally of Missionaries, De. votea a tsarso Portion of Her Estate to be Work. The will of the late Jane W. Sterrett, of No. 90? Penn avenue, was filed yesterday for probate. Mrs. Sterrett bequeaths to Evadne M. Sterrett, a missionary in Mer- sine, Asia Minor, her piano. To Jeanet Theodocin, daughter oT Dr. Metheney, a missionary at Mersine, and formerly a mis sionary at Latakia, Svria, she gives $1,000. To Jane Eife $1,000. 'She directs that S. A.

The will is dated April 30, 1890. , , OYSTERS WILL BE OYSTERS. Tbe Season Opens on Monday, bat Prices Will be Steep. It is said by dealers that "Oysters will be oysters" this year. The season will open on the usual date, but the product is yearly get ting scarcer, and it is argued that, for the good ot all, both dealers and consumers, if consumption were prevented by law for several years inevitable permanently high prices might be staved off for a decade at least The breeding grounds are yearly be ing infringed upon, and Maryland has found it necessary to enact very stringent laws to regulate the taking. It is said that con sumers will pay at least 25 per cent more for oysters this year than in the past In Maryland dredging can only be prosecuted between October 15 and April 1. The tonging season opens on Mondav next, and closes April 20, instead of April 25, as formerly. Tongers and rakers in some parts of Maryland must pay a personal tax of $4 for each person engaged, and in Little Cboptonk river they are not allowed to go to work until September 15. Oysters lets than 2 inches long from hinge to mouth, must be returned to their natural beds under penalty of a fine ol $100 to $500, or imprison ment in jail or house of correction. The Oyster Exchange of Baltimore, has decided to buy no oysters from violators of the law, and asks all engaged in the trade, and the civil authorities to join in enforcing the law. BO ACTION TAKEN. Tbe Joist Police and Fire Committee Ex amine a Telegraph Protector. A joint meeting of the Allegheny Com mittes on Eire and Police was held last night to inquire into a system for the pro tection of the police and fire telegraph sys tems. The device it was required for the committees to examine was Brown's tele graph protector, an arrangement that switches off tbe current on the wires as soon as there is more than the normal amount of electricity, or enough to become dangerous, sending it into a ground wire. After the appliance had been explained by tbe agent, it was referred to Chief Jones to examine and report to the committees. As the Police Committee would have to convene again on Monday night to approve of the pay roll, no meeting of that body was held last night, and consequently the charges to be p re l erred against a number of the officers was held over until that time. BLUPELNQ THE BAHE0ADS. A Chicago Man Thlnka a Site Bam Been Secretly Selected for tho Fair. G. E. Dickerson is a Chicago lumber and coal man wbo is stopping at the Mononga hela House. He said he had no doubt that a site for the World's Eair had already been selected, but the members of the Commis sion were keeping it quiet for the purpose of getting the best concessions possible from the transportation companies. He believes the railroads also have deeided in their minds what they will do, and the idea is to give them all a showto compete iorjthe busi ness. They will donbtless soon agree on what arrangements tney will make. The delay has not been caused by the real estate men. A MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE. William S. Lone, of the Somhalde, Missing From Ills Home. William S. Long, manager of Jones & Laughlins' store at South Twenty-seventh and Carson streets, left home on Sunday, since when he has not been seen or heard from by any of his friends. Tbe cause of his sudden departure 'appears to be quite distinctly understood by his friends, who are not at all surprised at his action, and as sert that so far from being mysterious the move was a perfectly natural one. There wss no irregularity about his busi ness connections, and the canses that led to Mr. Long's leaving so suddenly are said to be due to some domestic discord. YOUNG AMERICA SQUELCHED.

The Largest Flouring Mill East of ' Minneapolis Projected. SITE PURCHASED IN ALLEGHENY. A Mammoth Elevator and Coal Depot is Fart of the flan. ANOTHER EVIDENCE OP PE0SPEE1TI An important movement that has been on foot and engineered with little or no noise for some time past has been finally con summated, and is one of very great interest to this city. Marshall, Kennedy & Co., Limited, have purchased the extensive furniture factory and ground belonging to M. 8eibert & Co. The ground is 190x400 feet and is bounded by Biver avenne, Hope and Lacock streets, Allegheny. There are two very large buildings on it in which furniture has been made, and these are to be reconstructed and converted into the most complete roller-flouring mills this side of Minneapolis. The price paid for the property is $80,000, just as it stands, but to effect the transformation intended will cost a big pile. Though Marshal, Kennedy & Co. have at present an output capacity of 1,100 bar rels of flour per day, their facilities have been less than they need, and they have made arrangements to obviate all the diffi culties under which they now labor. An idea of the size of the undertaking may be had by considering the work necessary to compl'ele the design, in addition to the re modeling of the furniture factory. A COSTLY STRUCTURE. A grain elevator will be built on the ground for the private use of tbe company and for the nse of the public also. Neither Mr. Marshall nor Mr. Weixel were pre pared to say just what the cost of it would be, bat they stated that the boilers and en gines were each to be of 500-horse power and boilers and engine alone would cost $18,000. They propose to start with sufficient power to accommodate all the strain they can by any possibilitv ever need. Thev nroDose to re turn to coal for fuel and say they do not care to depend on gas. As there is railway trestle work there suitable for the purpose, they also propose to establish coal yards and cay they have no doubt that in a few years they will be operative to their full capacity. The location is perhaps the best, so far as shipping facilities are concerned, in the city as tbe companv can load and unload into and from the cars of all the railways center ing here. By the Allegheny Valley Bail way they connect with the Pennsylvania Railroad East and all the Pennsylvania Bail road system West, and by the Pittsburg and Western with the Baltimore and Ohio and Pittsburg and Lake Erie railways, thns there is nothing at present left to connect with and i not likely to be in future, these systems covering all the points of the com pass and giving all the competition possible. AH IMPORTANT ITEM. When it is considered that as high as 50 carloads- consigned to this firm often lie in the Pittsburg and Lake Erie Bail way yards at one time, which must all be hauled by horses, it will be seen that the saving in this one item will in a few months eaual the cott of a considerable plant So great is the item of terminal cost in the handling of grain and heavy freight generally that the best idea to be obtained is from the rema.k of an iron manufacturer who invested a fortune in the Pittsburg and Lake Erie Eailway in order to secure tbe bnilding ot it When asked if he ever expected to get a dividend, to say nothing of getting his money back, he replied: "Why if tbe road never pays a cent I will be reimbursed and get large dividends in addition in the sav ing ot hauling, as I can run switches into div Southside mills, and load and unload directly." Marshall, Kennedy & Co. said theywere unable to state how soon tbe new mill would be running, but said it will be in operation just as quickly as the work can be done, as they need it very badly now. Another Largo Building. Mr. W. A. Hoeveler will erect a four story storage building corner Thirteenth and Pjke streets, which will contain over 50,000 square feet of floor space. George W. Clay is the contractor. AT CRESSON SPRINGS T0-M0RB0W. Mr. Harrison and Party Will be On the Limited From Cape May. Mrs. Harrison, wife of the President, the McKee family and several others will ar rive at Cresson Springs to-moirow, and take up their residence in the beantiful little cottage prepared for them. The President will not co to Cresson until next week, and is expected on Friday, the 5th. District Passenger Agent Watt, of the Pennsylvania Railroad, yesterday received a telegram from Joseph B. Wood, General Passenger Agent ot tbe road, to the effect that the Presidental party, minus the President, would leave Philadelphia on the New York and Chicago limited to-morrow, Eriday, at 1220 noon, and will arrive at Cresson at 6:35 P. M. The President will travel in a special train, and will arrive at Cresson the lollowing' Eriday some time during the afternoon. The arrival of Mrs. Harrison and party to-morrow will cause somewhat of a bustle among the Pittsburgers sojourning at the Springs. The hotel has been crowded for the past week or so with people anxiously awaiting the appearance of the President and his family. Every cottage also is oc cupied, and there is no question but Mrs. Harrison will be given a rousing reception. Found Dead la Bed. Jeremiah Gilchrist, a well-known stock drover, was found dead in bed at his home on Penn avenue, East End, yesterday morn inc. On Tuesday afternoon he was at the yards in the best of health. He ate a hearty supper and afterward complained of a pain in his stomach. He went to see a physician abont it, and at midnight told his wife he was much better. At 4 o'clock she awoke and found her husband dead. A Well-Attended Church Picnic. One of the largest crowds that ever filled Silver Lake Grove attended St Paul's Catholic Church picnic yesterday.

They gave their names as Jessie White and Tillie Jones, Tbe latter's first name was Annie several months ago, but has changed since that time. Miss Jessie is only 19 years of age, and both girls are very pretty, though of a coarse type. Jessie said she had been living with a theatrical lady in McKeesport, but the latter had given up housekeeping and threw her out of a position.

An instrument coming from Kleber's store, be it a Steinway, Conover, Gabler or Opera piano, or a Burdett or Earhuff organ is always preferred, for the opinion ot Mr. Kleber is looked upon as final and conclusive.

Many Empty Houses Along the Eonte ' Predicted far A'ext Spring. CITIZENS ENDEAT0KISG TO ESCAPE The thunder and roar of the Pleasant Val ley electric cars, it is alleged, by the citizens living along the route, have the effect of depreciating the value of property along and in the vicinity of that company's lines. Some claim property values have dropped 25 per cent Those who rent houses, it is claimed, are looking for quieter locations, and the others who own their nomes are trying to sell them and move to quarters where the rattle and bang of passing street cars will not set nerves on edge all through the day, and make sleep a stranger the greater part of the night In houses the noise is so great that when the windows are open conversa tion has to be stopped every time a car passes. To talk on front steps is an impos sibility withont the aid of an ear trumpet President James S. Yonng, of the Alle gheny Public School Library Committee, spoke of the matter in an informal way alter that body adjourned last night cah't stand the noise. He said: "The noise is rapidly depreciat ing property all alone the Pleasant Valley route. There is no Improvement, but it rather grows worse. The tracks become more shaken up and the wheels of motors become warm and loose. People are actually getting ready to move simply on this ac count On Fremont street nearly everybody is complaining. Two gentlemen named Lovitts built two houses there some time ago and went there to live. New they are trying to sell because they and their families cannot stand the noise. It' is especially hard on sick people. They cannot get any rest, and it is impossible to keep the house quiet. All day the children are disturbed, and at night rest is driven away. The noise does not cease until after midnight, and it commences again at 5:30. Already there are a number of empty houses, and by spring there will be many more. The babies are kept awake, and the continual roar is so an noying that it is no wonder people leave." This fact was referred to several months ago, when the citizens of Highland avenne protested against the laying of an electric road on that thoroughfare. At that time a large number of affidavits to the above effect were given by residents on Sandusky, Ohio, Eederal and Monterey streets and North avenue. They all said their property was being depreciated, and claimed the con tinual noise was a nuisance. ASCII STBEET BESIDETTTS COaiPIiAIN. Since the new line has been rnn up Arch street the residents there are complaining of the same noise. Among them are Messrs. Littell, Whitmore and Elias Katz. On Anderson street tbe cars for all the lines pass both ways, and the residents there declare tbe din is terrible. William Alli son, a resident of that street, said yesterday: "Sleep is impossible.

T As yet no definite action has been) taken, but it has been hinted that property owners would protest and possibly ask for damages if it is impossible next spring to fill their houses with tenants. A FAMILY BEHUn) BAES. A Somhilde Shanty Boat Balded Last Nlaht by Ibe Poller. Last night the patrol wagon rattled up to the door of the Southside station and Sergeant McQnaid nearly fell out oi his chair when he heard a war-whoop from a female throat The wagon contained Mr. and Mrs. William Nennieny,theirdaughter. Lizzie, and James Brown and Ered Snyder. The quintet had been having a regular bacchanalian revel in a shanty boat at the foot of Third street About the time the air began to resound with their beer-laden discords the police ap peared on the scene. To judge from the epithets that floated out from the cell room last evening the air will have to be fumi gated by this morning or tbe day sergeanu will be suffocated. STABYED THE CHILD.
