Ktta&aBJ P8 WHTPUTGnOUIDS, School Children Will be Given Plenty of Ground to Korap and Sport at Will in Schenley Park. ilT WOULD KEEP THEM OFF STEETS. Chief of the Department of Public Works Will Not Allow Pittsburg" to ho Behind Kew York. RTENKIS COURTS AND CROQUET GROUNDS. 3 Schemes to Matt the Second Arence Park and the Bedford Basin Useful Places. A plavground for school children is the i latest, and the probabilities are that within the next year or two the youngsters will ' hare a place to romp and play without run ning any risk of being run down by vehicles on the streets, or having to secure the serv ices of the specter cable car to enable them to pet a pair of custom-made wings after a hurried flight from this earth to heaven. One of the places will be at Schenley Part, but it is not every child that can get a nickel lor car fare every time it wants to play, so it will be necessarv to secure play grounds nearer the heart of the city. As a general rule the children who live in the vicinity of the park have big yards to romp in, and do not need a playground as badly as those living in the city. In Sew York City, Buffalo. Baltimore and several other cities there are play grounds for the use of children. In New York the grounds are located along the North and East rivers and on the "slips" or walks "between the landing places of the boats. The "slips" are fenced in, and each ODe is in charge of a member of "the finest," who KEZrS A WATCHFUL EYE on the children to prevent them from getting into each other's hair. The grounds are favorite places of resort of grandpapas and other old gentlemen who delight to see the children gambol and play, as the thoughts of the old codgers wander back 60 years or more when they were children. Chief Bigelow, of the Department of Public "Works, on his "stopover" in Hew York while coming home lrom Europe, hap pened to learn of the children's playground, and was much interested in the manner the metropolis looked alter the pleasure and health of the coming men and women. The Chief also visited the "meadow" play ground in Central Park, and the thought suggested itself to him to have such a place in Schenley Park. He saw thousands of children running, playing at tag, tumbling on the ground and scrambling up again, and says he never enjoyed anything better. "While coming home he began to think of devoting a big space in Schenley Park where the children could run and tumble at will. "Keep off the grass" will not stare them in the face, and they will not stand in awe of oue of Chief Brown's blue-coated minions. In speaking of the matter yester day. Chief Bigelow said: ""We will give considerable attention to the children in Schenley Park, and the latter will not only be an ornament, but it will be useful to the city. "We intend to have lots of room for them to jump around and roll on the grass if they wish to. "We will have lawn tennis courts, croquet grounds, swings, sand piles where mud pies can be made and everything conducive to the comfort of children. Of course, it will be a little far for some children to go to, but alter we get our main entrance built there will be no trouble about getting there." ME SECOND ATEKUE PAEK. "How about the Second avenue park? Can't it be given to the children for a play ground?" "No I would not like that, for the reason that they would not be away from the streets. The Second avenue electric cars run along both sides and ends of the park and it would be the hardest work imagin able to keep the children from climbing over the fence and getting out on the car tracks. Yes, the lower Bedford basin, which will be vacated shortly, could be filled in and an excellent play ground made of it. The air up there is good and several hours or romping would do poor children a wonderful amount of good." Mayor Gourley was asked what he thought of the scheme. lie said: "It would be a glorious thing if we could get play grounds lor the children in the lower part of the city, where they are needed. It is only a matter of time until the downtown schools can be consolidated and playgrounds could be made out of the space the closed ones occupy. In other cities they have places where the children can jump around and tear their clothes as much as they please, and it is sel dom that you hear of children being run over while playing in the streets. A great many 01 the cable ana horse car accidents are caused by the little lads being out in the street and running lrom one side to an other. I would like to see Schenley Park always open to the children to run about in, except, of course, where the flowers are planted. The Second Avenue Park would be a good place if there was a high board fence around it, but not otherwise. The best place is the Bedford basin, which could be filled in at a litile cost and made attractive for children. I believe in giving the youngsters a chance to play here instead of in heaven." A 3IATTEE OF MONEY. Sheriff McCandless, member ot the Cen tral Board of Education. "I do not know anything I would like to see in the city better than public play grounds, where the youngsters could run at will and enjoy themselves, but the only objection against it, is the enormons values of real estate in the lower part of the city. The price of property is so high that it would be ridicu lous to think ot purchasing ground. Of course, if the city has space all right, it could not be used to better advantace. In the case of the Bedlord basin I do not think it could be put to better use, after it is dis continued ior the purposes for which it was built. Schenley Park is a good place, and the Second Avenue Park would be better, although it is small. I do not think there would be much danger from the electric cars if a high board fence was built around it "What good is it doing anybody, anyhow? The angels have been taken away, and even grass won't grow in ;he park. It is not a beautiful spot by anv means, and I for one would be willing to turn it over to the children. - Superintendent of Schools Luckey I be lieve every man in the city would be in fa vor of such a scheme if it could be done, but I do not think we have the room here. I am in favor of a play ground around each schoolhouse, but the price of property has made this impossible. Some of the schools have big yards, lor instance, tbe Forbes, and the children should be allowed to play inside the inclosures at all times. People Will Eat. Mr. Edsall, of Arbuckles & Co., states that his firm did a larger business in August than during any August previous, and he says that, so far as he can learn from con versation with other wholesale grocers, their experience has been the same orat least tend ing strongly in that direction. A CLOUD BURST HELPS TO SWELL THE FLOOD IN ALLEGHENY RIVER. THE Steady Rales Expected for Some Dny Yet Hlch WnierMny Yet Cnmo Datnntrn A Very Early Foil Frn.t U Promised Us. Yesterday witnessed the first good-sized flood ol the season in the rivers. Both the Allegheny and Monongahela were swelled to three times their normal sizes, and the water from above is only half here. It is expected that it will go much higher to-day and to-morrow. The bulk of the water is coming from points on the Allegheny, where the rainfall has been heavier than for many years. During the past few days a huge cloud ha hovered over the valley about Parker and Warren. It was thought that the storm would pass over the section, but it started to rain hard Thursday night and has con tinued incessantlv for 48 hours without abating in fury in the least. Six inches of rain fell at Warren in Jhreedays, a. record unprecedented, and it continued to -pour down steadily yesterday with good prospect of adding a few more inches to the Jail to day. Host of the water is coming from the Al legheny in consequence, but the Monon gabela sections are billed to contribute con siderable water in the next few days. The storm had a lull at the headwaters ot the Monongahela yesterday, but heavy showers are predicted there to-day. Storm bulletins show that 2.01 inches came down in 12 hours at Oil City, which is unnsual. This city has experienced but .34 of an inch, but the indications point lor much more, however. In the rivers at this point there was a rise of 3 feet 5 inches in the Monongahela, swelling it up to 13 feet and 6 inches, and a rise of 4 feet in the Allegheny during 24 hours; the water will likely come with greater rapidity to-day and to-morrow, when it is calculated the most of it will be here. This storm is only the forerunner of one that is raging in the southwest, which is heading in this direction. Frost is predicted for to-morrow, to round up the inclement weather. Bivermen say that the rise ol this year is a little previous. In the past high water would not put in appearance before the month of October. Even if the rain subsides at the head waters to-day there will be at least 20 feet of water in the rivers Monday, which is con sidered dangerous to navigation. It seems almost incredible, but is nevertheless trne, that only 13 8-10 feet was in the Ohio at 6 o'clock last night. This cannot be accounted for when the rivers are so much higher here. Fears of a general flood are entertained by the railroad companies whose tracks skirt the shores of both rivers, and precau tions have been taKen to avert the danger which the turbulent streams threaten to make. Both tbe Little and Big Kanawha rivers are on the rampage, showing the storm to be in the immediate vicinity of the Monongahela s head. Kain was reported at 49 river stations yesterday, which shows the wide scope of territory embraced by the deluge. A BAIT ABA BUNKO. Two Italians Cbarsed With Folio Prctents by n Frui. Denier. Antonia Sculella and Nocolo Knico, Ital ians were committed to jail yesterday for a hearing on Tuesday beiore Alderman Mc Kenna on a charge of false pretense made by John Debe. The latter is a wholesale dealer in fruits on Liberty street, and al leges that the defendants bunkoed him out of a sum of money by calling on him for a quantity of bananas, lor which they had made payment to his wife. The transaction took place a month ago, but the alleged falsity of the representations made by tbe defendants was only discovered a couple of days ago. Mr. Debe having spoken to his wife of the affair, she denied all knowledge of the matter, and suit was entered at once. MOBE THAN THE EABTH, Kate Williams Makes a Modett Statement and Includes Everything. Kate "Williams, one of the old-timers, was arrested again last night for making an an nouncement that the world was hers at the corner of "Wylie and Fifth avenues about 10 o'clock. Officer Diehl happened to come along, and, while not objecting to Kate owning the world, he kicked about her telling it in such a tragic and loud manner. Kate was, released from the workhouse yesterday morning, after doing a 90-day sentence, and will probably surprise Superintendent Warner Dy another visit to-day. HIS BROTHER DYING. Dr. W. J.

AH-ADDEESS BI BROAD-AX SMITH. Hb "tfakes a Few of His Characteristic and Old-Time Remarks. THE PENN ATENDB MILLS YISITED. Senator Delamater was tendered a recep tion at Mansfield last night by the republi cans ot the borough. About 800 people met him at the station. He was escorted to Armory Hall by the Union Cornet Band and a committee of 25 citizens, composed mostly of the merchants and business men of tbe town. Upon reaching the hall Dr. J. W. Gil more was appointed chairman and J. "W. Beard secretary of the meeting. Senator Delamater was introduced and made a short address, in which he said: "From my ex perience during the past week, and particu larly from what I have seen and learned, there is no doubt hut that the Republican party is still alive and enthusiastic in Alle gheny county. I know that bright spark kindled in the hearts of the trne citizens 25 years ago is still burning. I am not feeling extra well this even ing and consequently will not burden yon with a long speech. You ail, no doubt, have heard the news from Maine. The re election of that noble man for Congress, Thomas B. Seed, shows what a great one the Bepublican party is. This country should be rnled by majorities. J3EABEB OF GOOD TIDINGS. "I "bring to you this evening the good news that there is no truth in the statement that the Bepublican party will be beaten this fall. In not only Allegheny especially, but all other counties von will hear of the splen did result in favor of our party next Novem ber. I am a candidate for the party because it has adhered to the very same principles adopted 25 years ago. I thank you for the reception tendered-me to-night I come to yon representing that grand party which has done so much lor you in the past I thank God that the same inspiration that inspired Abraham Lincoln is still in the Bepublican party." Colonel Andrew E. Stewart, candidate for Congress from the Twenty-fourth Congres sional district, addressed the people for a few minutes in regard to his candidacy for Congressional honors. In his address he said: "I feel sure that I am going to get there. I feel that it is going to come, and I will try and nut my brain to work so that I will please the people." "Broad-Ax" Smith, who always happens to be around, said: "I thought I would just drop in and give the meeting a little coloring. Let me tell you this, if the white Bepublicans stick as close to the party as most of the cdored people do, we would'not nave to be troubled with people flopping. HIS THBEE PKIDES. "However, there are a few colored people who went over to the Democratic side to be fooled. There are three things I pride my self in. The first is that I am black, the second that I am a Methodist and the third and best that I am a Bepublican. I have known Senator Delamater ever since he was born, and knew his father long before he did, so you see I know who I am speaking of. The Democratic party is a great one for reform. Democrats tell me they wish I would get out of here because I can control the colored people of the county. May the Lord let me live at. least as long as the Democratic party lives. I am not talking for an office, I would not take. anything un den the Presidency but hitch me up for that office and see how fast I run. But I can't be President. It is much more possi ble for me to turn white. I would not let a black Democrat sleep in my hencoop at least if thera was a chicken there. I eat three square meals a day and have a clear conscience." Assistant Postmaster Edwards, of the Pittsburg postoffice, delivered the closing address. He spoke for a few minutes in re gard to Governor Pattison's record as com pared with Delamater's. Senator Delamater, in company with Colonel Andrew E. Stewart, then took a stand in the rear of the hall, and was intro duced to about 300 people by the reception committee He was then escorted to the station by the band and took the train to Ingram station, where he spent the night with Thomas McFarland. .

AnAHoBhcnT Cltlzeto Rescnek a Yottnff Girl nnd I Lock edTJp. J. O. Hershberger and "William Kearney, two Pittsburg and "Western brakemen, iwere arrested last.night for acting in a disorderly manner on the Sixth street bridge. Abont 8 o'clock they were going over the bridge and met a voting girl abont 14 years of age who riaturally objected to the men throwing their arms about her. John Marshall, an Allegheny citizen, was passing along at the time and interfered. He collared Hershberger and brought him to the Pittsburg side, where the bridge of ficer succeeded in distinguishing himself by arresting both Marshall and Hersh berger. It was another case of the innocent man being made to suffer and Marshall pro tested, hut it did him no good. At the Central station he was locked up, but after ward released upon leaving a deposit of $10. After Marshall and Hershbeiger had been locked up Kearney appeared and wanted to get his partner out This is what Inspector McAleese was looking for, and be ore Kearney had time to say "beans" he'was hustled back and locked up. He was after ward released with Hershberger on-forfeits of $30 each, i ON POLICE EXHIBITION. As Information to be Made Against Tooley nnd Jordan To-dar.

They were placed in full view of the officers, who were told to take a good look at them. "Who the men were was stated, the officers told to keep an eye on them if they ever saw them about The exhibition took all the spirit out of the 'prisoners, and they wended their way back to their cells in a shamefaced manner. Detective Fitzgerald yesterday inter viewed a number of persons whose names were on the subscription book Kept by the men. He secured a quantity of evidence against them, and the amount they are known to have obtained in sums of from ?2 to 5 will run over $1,000. Inspector Mc Aleese will make information against them to-day, charging them with obtaining money under false pretenses. AFTEB MANY MOONS.

Allegheny People Complain Abont 6ldewalk Near ihoPomp. Considerable complaint is being made by a number ot Alleghenians about the bad condition of the sidewalk at the corner of Federal and Ohio streets, at which point the new automatio rjump has been erected, which is a source of considerable nuisance) on account of the drainage being defective! In one sense the pump is a great public benefit,but in another way it has occasioned considerable kicking. It is erected in such a manner that the overflow of water runi across the sidewalk, thereby forming a large mud puddle, which puts pedestrians to great inconvience. COL.

WHAT JOHN COFFEY HAS TO- SAY. Eastern District Hen Unanimously Desire to Leave tbe Order. THEI TALKED OP IT THREE IEAES AGO Ex-Master "Workman John Coffey, of the former Eastern division of the green glass blowers, arrived in fown yesterday morning. He will, if he can make suitable arrange ments, take up a permanent residence here. He was present at the usual meeting of L. A. 6111 last evening and took part in the business. . 3 Mr. Coffey has a strong following here, and his arrival, and probable residence here, is not withont considerable interest It is an open secret now that the withdrawal of the green glass blowers from the Knights of Labor is only a question of time. On this questipn there is division in the craft, but it is stated that those in favor of a withdrawal are growing in nnmbers to the disadvantage of the supporters of the order. It may be said that there are two sections, one led by John Coffey and the other by Louis Arrfns ton, the present National Master "Work man. The latter official is Credited with being an earnest supporter of the powers that be, and consequently adverse to a severance of his craft from the order, whi)e those members who look to John Coffey as their representative are for draw ing ont. That dissatis faction with the pres ent management of th body was prevalent among tbe bottle blow ers was mentioned some months ago in these columns, and it wasthen predicted that (the end of the trade year would witness A COMPLETE WlIHDEATAIi and a federation with the flint glas3 workers. This moveme nt is now said to be well advanced, and the convention in next June will end the mat'.ter as far as the Knights of Labor are concerned. The feel ing in favor of a withdrawal is strongest in tbe East, and is of pietty considerable strength here, too. Mr. Coney was asked last night to indicate how far this feeling had spread. "I can only speak with an-y degree of cer tainty of the East," he sain', "and there I know the feeling of antagonism to the or der to be very strong. The; Eastern divi sion of Green Glass BlowenJ would have drawn out three years ago btj t for a feeling that, nnder the circumstances, they could not do so with any degree of honor. These circumstances were tne position in which the division stood with regard to the order. It had obtained a loan of $7,000 to carry on the strike, and while it w as outstanding tney could not move. "The feeling against the present manage ment of the order is very st Irong. "While I am a firm believer in the principles of the Knights of Labor, I cannc t support the methods of the existing man: igement. Pow derly's methods are those of : in autocrat who disposes of people as he choos'es, and without cause or reason. His methods' of conducting the business of the order hav caused much dissatisfaction among the craft, for whom, I hold, he has never done very much. That this feeling should find vent in a desire to draw out of the bodv is not surprisf ng. A DISCOUEAGING OUTLOOK. "The condition of tbe craft in the East is not very encouraging. There are about 1,000 non-union and 1,000 unionists a.t work. Several factories have been lost to the organization this year. Mr. Powd erlv de clares that the order is not a striking order. How are we to at tempt any redress of grievances which we conceive we are entitled to take- action upon, it we cannot stand ont in sn pport of our claims? The Knights of Labor are no longer able or willing to give us the back ing we desire, and the natural resnlt will follow." Mr. Coffey has a large number of friends here. II he elects to remain he will make, it is said, many friends more, and be sent to the June convention as a delegate from the Assembly. Indications point to a lively time in the organization, with1 a result of the victory of the secessionists. At the weekly meeting last night consid erabk discussion waged around the con struction of a rule made at the jconvention at Baltimore. It was heretofore the custom lor boys to fill the molds for the Blowers, and a rule was made at the convention dis pensing with tbe boys, thus throwing additional work on the men. Against this rule a section of the men have'since made a vigorous protest, and, in fact, have disregarded it. A certain amount of friction then ensued between tbe supporters of the rule and its opponents, and, as a result of the meeting last night, Master "Workman Beiff eLjted to leave the matter to National ,ster Workman Louis Arrington. John Coflcr ITorc. Mr. John Coffey, ex-Master "Workman of the Eastern district green glass blowers, ar rived in town yesterday. Mr. Coffey is contemplating taking up a permanent resi dence here.

"When does the train leave for Bowles burg?" the stranger asked. "Never heard of the place," Crosby an swered. "Sure, don't you know that is where they are building the big bridge," "Oh, I believe I have heard about it. Go over to the depot in Allegheny." "But can't I take a train here." "No, you cant." "Blast your eyes, yonng man, when I ask questions in a depot I want a decent an swer." "This is riot a depot," replied Crosby with a twinkle in his eye. "This is a hotel."

Tho Great Day of Atonement and the Feast of tbe Tabernacle. ATEEX 111P0BTANT M0STH IN THE IBAE The Hebrew New Year will be celebrated in Pittsburg this year as usual, though per haps on a more elaborate scale. The new year, beginning Sunday evening at sunset, is popularly supposed to be the beginning of the year 5651, dating from Adam's ap pearance in the Garden of Eden. This, however, is wrong. It is the beginning of the seventh month, Lishri, and four months must have rolled around before tbe real be ginning of the new year, the first month of which is known as Nisam. The figure "7" is usually considered holy among the Hebrews for several reasons. The seventh day is the Sabbath, and in the seventh month comes the day of atonement, tbe feast of the tabernacle, and in fact all the leading religious services of the year. The New Year to be celebrated is the re ligious New Year. This does not refer to the calendar, but is a time when the re ligious feasts of the year are had, and all worldly thinge are laid aside for the time being. DAT OF ATOKEMEJfT. Following "New Year's" Day come ten days ol repentance, when the day of atone ment arrives. The services on this day are very solemn, and continue from sunset on the first day until sunset on the next. There are 24 hours of fasting and prayer. The feast of the tabernacle, lasting seven days, follows this service, and is to commemorate the time when Israel was fleeing from Egypt and spent 40 days in the wilderness. In olden times the people all lived in huts during the seven days of this feast, and even now in some parts of the country the peopje build huts of boards and roof tbem over with branches of olives, etc. In these huts they take their meals during the seven days of the feast of tbe tabernacle. Of coarse there are religious services at inter vals in all these feasts, and they are at tended by all with whom it is possible. The Hebrews as a nation had the begin ning of their commercial year in the early spring in the month of Nisom. That cor responds to the modern New Year. The religious New Year is celebrated somewhat after the style of the Gentiles' holiday by New Year's cards, presents, etc. THE OETHODOX CHURCH. There is no strictly orthodox Hebrew Synagogue in Pittsburg, and the one on Grant and Third avenue is between the orthodox and the Reformed Church. They celebrate two days of the new year, begin ning Sunday at sun down and continuing until Tuesday evening. Tbey have their regular evening prayer service Sunday even ing, and the Monday's service begins at 7 o'clock and last3 until noon. Bev. Brodie assists in the prayer service and Bev. Burn stein preaches at 9 o'clock. Following are the ten days of penitence and the day of atonement services and fast, which lasts 24 hours. The synagogue ot the Beformers in Pitts burg is on Eighth, street. They celebrate only one day of the New Year. Mr. Alex ander Lyons, of the Hebrew Union College of Cincinnati, is here to assist Bev.

Mr. Myer said yesterday: "The Character of the feast is mentioned in the Bible as the day ot memorial and it was, in course of time, celebrated as New Year's because the seventh Hebrew month called Lishri, was considered dnring the time of the temple as the most important season of the year. The day of atonement, the harvest feast, and all the great religious ceremonies connected with it make this month, the beginning of a new religious life." 2 . TO DTSPECT eGUHTBY FENCES.
