At the summit of the "VVjlie avenue hill
is located a two-story frame house, on the
sides of which are painted in bold letters
the fact that F. Z. S. Peregrine lives there,
and that it is his business to furnish colored
laborers of all sort direct from the South.
Persistent knocking at the door at last
caused an upper window to be opened, and
the curly head of a little colored girl ap
peared. Her information was that "Papa
is in the South, but mamma is at the office
on Fourth avenue, and can tell you what
yon want."
In the basement at 159 Fourth avenue a
pleasant little woman was found who an
swered to the name of Mrs. Peregrino, and
she was very busy with numerous ladies
and gentlemen who were anxious to secure
help direct from the Sunny South.
Mr. Peregrino is in Virginia on his semi
monthly trip in the interests of his agency,
and his wife acts in his place when he is
absent. Business is very brisk, she says,
and it is rapidly on the increase. Northern
people like to secure their help from the
South, where the people are more strict with
their servants, and as a result they are bet
ter prepared for the household duties, and
are not so apt to run around. As Mrs.
Peregrino expressed it, they are more clean
ly and not so shiftless as the Northern col
ored people.
BIO WAGES FOR THEM.
'The majority ot the servants secured are
irom Staunton, Charlotteville, Lexington
and Lynchburg, Va., where agencies are
established,'- said Mrs. Peregrino. "On
this trip Mr. Peregrino will bring home with
him 22 women and several men. "We have
no difficulty in getting all the people we
want, as the wages paid in the South are so
small ttat it is almost impossible to live,
though the fact is that the colored people of
Virginia live better and keep themselves
neater than do those of Pittsburg. Labor
ers there receive 75 cents per day and keep
families on that small amount. They con
sider the SI 50 a day they can get in Pitts
burg a princely salary and can live much
better than those who have lived here all
their lives and have not learned tne economy
necessary in Virginia.
'Many have an idea that the servants
brought from the South do not receive the
same compensation here that the natives do,
but that is a mistake. People are always
anxious to get the Soutbern-bred servants,
and are willing to pay higher prices for
them. They do not run around, keep their
p'ace, and know better how the work should
be done than the natives appear to. They
seem to know thev have to work, and are
very willing to do their best.
.'The greatest demand is for butlers and
some of the wealthiest people of Pittsburg
and Allegheny have sent to the South for
their men. While a first-class bntler in the
South gets very little more than his keep,
here one well recommended receives 25 per
month and the demand can hardly be sup
plied. There are also many calls for valets
and two were secured recently for Pniladel
phia. There are not so many wanted in
Pittsburg as further East.
GLAD TO COME.
"Mr. Peregrine finds a great many calls
for farm hands and often a man and his wife
are wanted at the sam place. A farm hand
considers the 515 a month he receives here a
very high salary and there is no difficulty
in securing all of this class of labor wanted.
"When a Pittsburg lady wants a colored
servant from the South she pays us enough
money to pay the expenses from their homes
here, and when they arrive a contract is
drawn up in which thev agree to work at
this place until she nas paid back this
money. Then if she is not satisfied she can
leave upon a week's notice. U her employer
doesn't want her they nust also give her a
week's notice or pay a week's wages in ad
vance. "The orders for laborers at the shops are
not so numerous as for house servants, but a
great number of colored men are brought to
the city every few days. Thev get?9 a
week, tthereas in Virginia the highest paid
for this class of work is $4 50. Mr. Pere
grino has made it a point never to take or
ders for men to take the place of strikers
and has made a great many friends for this
reason.
"When the people are brought here we
give them their metis at the office and then
take them around to their places of employ
ment. Everybody is satisfied with the serv
ants we secure for them, and the complaints
are very few. Indeed, the colored people
from the South seem to he more civilized
than the Northerners."
JUST A LITTLE PECULIAB.
How Fieaki far Snmo Oddity Will Work
to Attract Attention.
Charles Lamb used to advise people never
to appear odd. Bather be a lew days be
hind the fashion than ahead of it, bnt never
so far in the rear as to cause comment.
With all this gratnitons advice it is strange
what freaks jou sometimes see on the streets
and in public places.
A man at the Union depot the other even
ing was the cause of considerable comment
of the sarcastic and ridiculous order. He
didn't look like one who wished to attract
attention, but he did anyhow. He
wore an immense bat, 'alter the
style of a policeman's helmet that
came down over his ears, and carried
in his hand a long staff tipped with iron
that an Alpine climber would use. Not
content with occupying a seat he paraded
up and down the depot for several hours,
and missed his train to give the people a
better chance to gaze at him. He looked
like a preacher and his gaunt frame plainly
indicated that he had not been well led. He
had probably been spending a lew days in
the mountains, and with the assistance of
his spear had climbed to tlie dizzy height of
some knoll, where with poetic vision he had
viewed the landscape o'er.
SINGEING THB HATE.
It l Soppoted to Close Up the End. and
Keep tbe Oil From Etcnploc
"Have any new ideas of late been in
troduced in jour trade?" was asked of a
barber yesterday.
"Nothing," he replied, "except it be
singeing the hair.and thatisnot particularly
new. Some people claim it helps the hair,
but I am not satisfied on that point Tbe
hair is hollow and when it is cut the endi
ar. open, and the nutriment escapes into the
air. Singeing is supposed to close np the
ends, and assist the hair to hold its own in
the struggle for existence. It is performed
after the hair is cut, or when it is not lonj;
instead of clipping it a little, some of my
customers have it singed. I am a great be
liever in keeping the hair short to prevent
its falling out, but I see that some phy
sicians hold that in such cases it should be
worn long."
OVERCOATSWANTED.
A COLD WAVE TO STRIKE PITTSBURG.
TO-MORROW.
Indication Are for Fair Weather With a
Slight Frost Id the Moraine The Rain
U Probably 0,ver and High Pressure
Is On.
Some very cool weather is promised the
denizens of Pittsburg and vicinity within
the next few days, and it is scheduled to
stay with us for some time. So it is now in
order to get out your overcoat, if it is laid
away or visiting your uncle around the cor
ner, and settle up. The thermometer took a
drop of 14 yesterday, and at 8 o'clock reg
istered 62. This is away above the limit,
however, and by Monday morning the coal
and gas men are expected to don their lit
tle smile and feel happy. The rain has
probably run its course, and will not be seen
for a few days at least. Frost is on the
programme for Monday morning, though it
will probably be light, unless some radical
changes are made in the weather foundry.
The Dispatch man climbed seven
flights of stairs to the Signal Service office
last night, and by the time he reached the
top had decided that August, with all its
scorching features, was back again. Ser
geant Stewart was found, and gave a very
interesting talk on the subject of weather.
He said:
"At 8 o'clock this morning the thermom
eter Jregistered 67, and it soon ran up to
70, and later in the forenoon it reached
76, the highest point of the day. Then it
be?.in to drop. At 12 o'clock it was at 70,
at 5 o'clock P. Ji. 73, and at 8 o'clock the
minimum, 62, was reached. In the morn
ing the indications were for colder weather,
and we looked for frost Sundav morning.
but from the present ontlook it will not
come until Monday morning. It will be
decidedly cooler to-morrow, but not so cold
as it will be, Monday morning. There was
a great deal ot frost in the West, and at
Sioux City, Neb., they had the black kill
ing frost, which leaves all vegetation dead.
"The local indications to-nicht are that
we will have fair thouph cold weather. The
rain is over and the Allegheny river will
probably not rise higher than 18 leet. It
was 17 "this evening. On Friday morning
there was a storm center over Lake Superior
and one in Kansas. In tbe evening they
had come together in Northern Michigan,
and this morning passed into Canada. There
was a high pressure in Montana, Friday
morning and it traveled southeast over
Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska. It is
moving this way and bringing with it the
cold weather. It will probably hang around
for several days, as is usual with high
pressure, which travels much slower than
the low pressure."
CHARMINGLY IMMENSE.
A Welchtr Snbject From Westmoreland
Countr A 430-Popnd Girl.
Manager Harry Davis has unearthed a
very large lady, or rather "little girl," as
she is just now in her "sweet sixteenth"
year. She has the bloom of the country
girl upon her cheek, and, from her appear
ance, has lived upon the good old country
fare. A DlSPACH reporter had the pleas
ure of meeting this young ladv yesterday,
and she proved to be quite a bright little
mountain of flesh. Daring the course of
the conversation the young lady, who
answers to the name of Delia Beck, said:
"I was born in Apollo, but my home now
is in Cokeville, Westmoreland county.
Wnile 1 weigh 450 ponnds, measure 112
inches about tbe waist and 40 inches around
the arm, the rest of our family have all been
ordinary sized people, with tbe exception of
my sister, now dead, who weighed 148
pounds at the age of 5 years. My mother
weighs 180 pounds but my father was
very small. While at home I as
sisted in the work of the honse, my
mother and myself doing all the work for a
lamily of eight people. I have never been
on exhibition, but will try to arrange dates
in all the large cities after my engagement
with Mr. Davis expires. '
"I am having a dress made to-day and
there will be 90 yards of material used in it.
That's enough to break up a person with a
small pocketbook."
Miss Beck is certainly "charmingly im
mense," and if she continues to grow she
will rival the woman who was sued for dam
ages for having broken the hay scales.
Since she has started out to put "footprints
in the sands of time" there is danger ot the
beach being monopolized, and the rest of
the poor mortals are liable to be crowded off
the stamping grounds.
Speaking about big people recalls the
story of a family of girls near Mansfield, O.,
who are so big that they are ashamed of
themselves, and never go away from home.
The youngest girl is 9 years old and weighs
nearly 250 pouns. Two other young ladieB
reach nearly 400 each. Thejr parents are
both below tbe ordinary size. As tbe people
are well to do all efforts to bring them be
fore the public have been unavailing.
SAD RESULTS OF THE BATH.
A Weather Prophet Who Predict! a Severs
Storm In a Few Dots.
The rain of the past few days is beginning
to have its effect in producing bad results.
There was a heavy landslide on the Lake
Erie at Fallston. The southbound track
was blockaded for a good part of yesterday,
but side tracks were soon made, and the
traffic was not delaved long.
A bridge was also washed away on the
Newcastle and Shenango Valley road. It
is a short bnt important branch from New
castle to Middlesex, and in consequence all
the Lake Erie coke for this valley bad to
go yesterday by way of You'ncstown.
Pickets nave been located all along the
road to prevent any accidents.
Some weather prophet has predicted a
severe storm to occur before tbe 20th, which
will be general in its character and will
cause considerable devastation. General
Freight Agent Dean'remarked that in such
a case he would like to seek the secluded
shelter of a cyclone pit. The latter are un
known in this country, but are quite com
mon in the West
EVEBY SATUBDAY NIGHT.
The B. & O. Pats on a Special Cincinnati
Irnln for Ibealrlcnl People.
By special request of the theatrical pro
fession, the Baltimore and Ohio road will
rnn every Saturday evening a special ex
press to Cincinnati, leaving here at 11:55.
The first of these trains was put on last
evening. By tbis shrewd move the road
gobled all the theatrical business in the
town this week. Grieves' Specialty Com
pany went to Cincinnati, "Under the Gas
light" people to Louisville and the "Little
Puck" Company to Indianapolis.
Abont 500 of the uni'ormed Knights of
St. George will leave for Wheeling this
morning over the Baltimore and Ohio, in a
special train of ten cars to attend a celebra
tion there. They will remain three days.
The train starts at 7 a. m.
A STEADY VOLUME.
Great Demnndi for Can to Carry Coke
and Merchandise.
"At the end of this week the freight
traffic is better than it was two weeks ago,
but it is at a standstill," said an agent yes
terday. "The volume is steady, but does
not increase very much. Cars for coke are
scarce, and we are pinched for cars to carry
merchandise. This would indicate that
business must be brisk in other Quarters.
The indications for trade this fall, however,
are good, and the railroads will continue to
have their hands fnll in handling the'buti
ness." Da. B. M. Hjlnna. Eye, ear, nose and

ing Money Brought to an End
BY AN ASTONISHED CLERGYMAN.
The Coaches Gets Away and Plays the
Races With Success.
A GOOD TIME BROUGHT TO A SUDDEN END
For come time past Alderman Beinhauer,
of the Southside, has had a warrant in the
hands of his constable for the arrest of Will
iam Eckert, a cab driver for John D.
Schaub, who operates tbe Allentown livery
stable in Allentown. Mr. Scbaub charged
Eckert with embezzlement about two months
ago before Alderman Beinhauer, who issued
a warrant for his arrest.
Eichert's modus operandi was so open
that it is surprising how long he con
ducted it without discovery. Mr Schaub
has a very extensive business in the car
riage hire line with the residents of Allen
town, and had standing accounts with a
number of his patrons, who made settle
ments every three or four months.
Among his patrons was Rev. J.
Fisher, of St. Paul's Catholic
Church, Mt. Oliver, who exposed Eckert's
methods. When the time came for the set
tlement of his carriage hire, Mr. Schaub
presented his bill for payment The clergy
man was surprised to learn that he was in
debted to Schaub for carriage hire, as he
had paid Eckert every time be had occasion
to use tbe carriage, and stated that Eckert
had given him notice abont two months ago
that thereafter the business would be con
dncted on a cash basis.
POCKETED THE-PBOCEEDS.
The priest never thought for a moment
that there was anything wrong, and in the
two dozen or so occasions he used the car
riage, the charges were paid to the driver,
who pocketed the receipts and never made
any return to his employer. Mr. Schaub's
absence from his place of business the
greater portion ot the time prevented, him
from discovering Eckert's appropriations.
Eckert's abstractions were not confined to
one party, but numerous other people were
presented with bills for carriages which
they had paid for long before. In summing
up tbe whole thing it was found that in
about two months Eckert had secured
several hundred dollars in this way.
Another man named Edgar wav requested
to make a settlement for using carriages, and
it was learned that he also had paid for the
service each time.
Upon inquiring among his customers,
Mr. Schaub fouud that the same state of
affairs existed everywhere he went to col
lect his bills. He said nothing abont it to
Eckert, and sent him to drive Rev. Mr.
Fisher'one day abont two months ago, and
when he returned, his employer asked if he
had been paid for the service. Eckert re
plied in the negative, and Mr. Schaub then
had a warrant issued for his arrest, but in
some way Eckert was informed that the
game was up with him, and quietly left
town.
PLATING THE EACES.
Eckert's whereabouts remained a mystery
until a few days ago it was learned he was
in Bntler A detective was sent there, and
found him attending tbe races at that place,
betting money on the events without stint
with varying success. His movements were
closely watched, bnt on the last day ol the
races he eluded the officers, not, however,
nntil he had made a large stake on tbe
races.
The police lost track of Eckert for a
week or two, until last night, when Consta
ble Longenbaker espied him "on Carson
street, under the influence of liquor. It
appears that Eckert saw that his capture
was inevitable, and it was only a question
of a short time until he would be behind
tbe bars, and soliloquizing thus, he pro
ceeded to make the most of his time, in
which Constable Langenbaker said
he was succeeding admirably. It was
learned that a number of saloons
on Carson street were visited
by Eckert during the evening, and in every
place he went nothing was too fine for him,
and displayed a large wad of greenbacks,
presumably won at the Butler races.
In one place visited by Eckert the bar
tender said that he came staggering in and
demanded the best the house afforded, stat
ing in an incoherent voice that he had the
money to pay for it
wanted it regardless of cost
ECKEBT WAS IN IT.
In tbis condition Constable Langenbaker
found Eckert staggering down Carson
street, taking up the whole sidewalk, flour
ishing a number of bank notes in his hands
and exclaiming in lond tones, that he was
"in it" At the corner'of Twelfth street
the Constable seized bis man and
took him before Alderman Beinhauer,
who committed him to jail imme
diately where he now languishes
and will be unable to be "in it" for some
time. Constable Langenbaker said that
Eckert was having a good time in every
sense of the word, and was sorry to bring
his sport to such an abrupt termination, but
duty compelled him.
Since Eckert's embezzlement was dis
covered other liverymen have placed strict
surveillance on their drivers.
It now develops that the hackmen on tbis
side of the river having been getting it in
on their employers by carrying parties with
out their knowledge, but a way to prevent
any more of it has been found. The firms
that have carriages on the street will em
ploy a trnsted man to look after their in
terest Heretofore cabmen were relied upon
to make retnrns for what their vehicles
earned while on the street, but the
liverymen, on learning of the above case
took this precaution, and in the future, they
will miss no chances. .
Liveryman Schaub states that, he will
push his charge against Eickert to a final
issue.
CABLE CAB AND BICYCLE.
A Small Boy Kill.-d on the Fifth Avenue
Traction Lire Yesterday.
At about 11 o'clock yesterdaya car on the
Fifth avenue cable line collided with John
Finley, aged 11 years, who was riding on
his bicycle, and the result was that the boy
was thrown about 20 feet and was injured so
that be died about 5 o'clock. The boy tried
to cross the track ahead of the car, but was
not quick enough, and when about the cen
ter ot the track the car strnck him. He was
taken to the Homeopathic Hospital, where
he died.
Tbe body was removed to the home of his
parents, at 4G Congress street

pttlng Wllb European markets.
It's an ill wind that blows no one good.
The openness of last winter followed by the
paralyzing hyperborean blasts of March
have blown good to California and will do
much to relievo her people from the slough
into which wild land speculation got them
some months ago. It is estimated that
California- will ship 100,000'tons of
fruit to the East this season fruit
fresh, dried and canned. This will give
the people this side of the Bockies about
four pounds apiece, but a great many peo
ple, on account of the price, will manage to
get along on a pound apiece and others will
not invest at all, so those who have long
purses will be able to keep in mind the
taste of peaches, apricots, plums, etc,, by a
moderate occasional indulgence.
The cost of getting this frnit East Is
enormous, notwithstanding the talk some
time ago of through freights from Califor
nia being reduced. The freight on a car
load of fruit is $226 to Pittsburg. This is
over a cent & pound, bnt still it wouldseem
that some retailers mnst make considerable
money notwithstanding deterioration.
In past years grapes have been al
lowed to rot in enormous quantities on the
vines because after several miles hauling to
railways the growers could only get f6 a
ton, less than a third of a cent a pound.
California will likely soon cease to raise
wheat for shipment. Thefruit industry ten
years ago had scarce attracted attention, but
this year its export will be worth $10,000,000,
in addition to the value of fruit branuies.
With a canal across the Isthmus of Panama
the Golden State could drive Europe out of
the fruit raising business. The total ship
ments of fruit from the port of Malaga in
the best year ever known was 24,000 tons of
raisins and oranges and lemons, and this
port is the outlet of the most prodnctive
unit region in Europe.
The scarcity of home fruit and the cost of
the California product will keep the price
of tomatoes np to the end of the season.
Though they do not absolutely take the
place of apples, pears, peaches, etc., they
are considerably better than no substitute.
California Bartlett pears cost at retail 50
cents a dozen; sickle pears, $8 a bushel;
plums, $811 20 per bushel: Tokay grapes,
25 cents per pound: peaches, 75 cents per
dozen, and apricots did cost, when in sea
son, $6 4011 20 per bushel. At these
prices poor people are not likely to invest
heavily.
BY THE REVOLVER ROUTE,
Matthew Gilchrist Bnlcldei on a Quiet
tieet In the Eait End Oat of Work, In
Debt and Despondent Were the Causes.
Matthew Gilchrist, aged 30 years, com
mitted suicide Friday night by shooting
himself in the left temple. Yesterday
morning William Glue, the contractor,
found the body of a young man lying on the
pavement on Lincoln avenue, Boulevard
place, between Penn avenue and tbe Penn
sylvania Bailroad. A revolver was clasped
in the left hand and the right hnng down
at his side. In the left temple was an ugly
bullet hole, and from all indications the
man bad died withont a struggle.. Tne
body, which proved to be that of Gilchrist,
was removed to the City Morgue.
Gilchrist formerly worked for Thomas
W. Armstrong as coachman, but was out of
work at present and was very much in debt.
He was despondent, and his friends express
no surprise at his suicide. He had been
working in a mill, but on the advice of his
physician, left the place, as this work was
too hard.
Some of the people who were acquainted
with Gilchrist were of the opinion that he
had been killed by an enemy, bnt this be
lief was dispelled by a. letter fonnd in his
pocket and addressed to his mother, who
lives near Greensburg. In his letter he told
the cause of his suicide and gave directions
for the disposal of his belongings.
A PLEASANT FAMILY QTJABBEL.
Mr. Fornn Mattes a Number of Charges
Against Ills Wife nnd Daughter.
Mrs. Annie Foran and her daughter Rose
Hixon were committed to jail for court,
yesterday by Alderman McMasters, on a
charge of assault and battery, made by
John Foran, husband and father of the
women. The testimony at the hearing
showed, as did also Foran's appearance,
that he had received some rough treatment
at his home on Boston street nt was not
conclnsive that the women had taken any
hand.
The claim of the prosecutor was that they
had tried to kill him. He attempted to
urge that his wife and daughter were seek
ing to get revenge because he had foiled
them in an attempt to wrest his property
from him, but was sternly silenced by his
wife's attorney, who told him that he should
feel ashamed of his conduct

Next "Wednesday will be Grand Army

county and vicinity ever had. There will
be no parade in the city, as in former years,
but the Grand Army and thousands of
friends will go to Bock Point and spend the
day. Probably the most attractive feature
of the day will be the dress parade, or
rather two dress parades, for the Grand
Army will give one, and immediately will
follow one by the junior organization, the
Sons of Veterans. There will be outdoor
games, dancing, a contest between the firing
squads of Posts 41 and 157, and many other
attractive features. Tne two cities will be
depopulated of Grand Army men and their
families, numbering thousands, on that
day, and, beside, thousands of their friends
will accompany them and participate in the
pleasures of the occasion.
The Grand Army Day Committee met in
Council chamber yesterday and completed,
all arrangements, Thomas G. Sample,
Chairman of the Committee on Transporta
tion, reported. At 7:30 a. m. the first sec
tion of a special train, whicn will rnn
straight through, will leave Union station
for Bock Point The second section of tbis
train will be made up in Allegheny at the
same time. The third section, which will
bring down the people from up the "West
Penn road, will also leave Allegheny. This
section will leave Etna at 8 a. m.
CABRYINO THE CBOWDS.
The next train will leave Union station at
8:30. This is a regnlar train. The next
will be a special at 9.30, the number of sec
tions to be regulated according to the num
ber of people. Another special train will
leave at 1 p. 21. Returning trains will
leave at 5, 6 and 7 o'clock. The rate from
Turtle Creek will be $1 02, from Braddock
80 cents, irom Wilkinsburg 75 cents, and
from other points at corresponding rates.
The ronnd trip rate from the city will be
50 cents and this fare will be re
quired from all children except babes in
arms. Tickets will be on sale on Tuesday
at tbe central office or at the depot, so that
the rush on Wednesday may be avoided.
Many prominent Grand Army men from
other'cities will be present, and yesterday
the committee instructed a sub-committee to
personally visit President Harrison at Cres
son and try to seenre his attendance. This
committee is Commander of the Day Den
niston and Chairman Lambert of the Invita
tion Committee. A large number will take
baskets, as it is a reunion and picnic, and
full arrangements for the transportation of
them have been made. For those who do
not care to bother with baskets, ample provi
sion has been made. The ladies of the G.
A. B. and the Women's Belief Corps will
furnish meals. The proceeds of the ladies'
labor will be devoted toward the Homes of
the respective organization in which the
indigent old soldiers and their widows are
cared for. Tbe committee yesterday in
structed Secretary Bengough to communi
cate with the heads of city departments
asking them to excuse their old soldier em
ployes for the day.

FIXING THE BLAME
FOR THE FAILURE. OF THE PENN BANK
YEARS AGO.
Jndse Bice Mnltci II. Report to Conrt-
The Responsibility 1'hced Upon PresU
dent Kiddle nnd Cnsh'er Heiber Dut cs
of Bank Director Deft eil.
Old citizens will remember that once
upon a time the Penn Bauk, of this city,
attempted to butt the Standard Oil Com
pany off the track. There was a great crash,
aud the splinters have been flying evef since,
the last of them landing yesterday.being tbe
report made to Common Fleas Court No 2
by Judge Hice, of Beaver, master in'the
snit entered six years ago by Dr. E. W.
Swentzeli, Elias J. Unger et al against tbe
Penn Bank, Henry "Warner, assignee;
William N. Biddle, President; George L.
Eeiber, Cashier; F. B. Laughlin, Vice
President; James Berdman, James H.
Hopkins. D. W. C. Carroll, T. Brent
Sweari'ngen, Samuel Serverance, Philip
Beymer, A.W. Cavitt, A. A. Hutchison aud
J.O. Brown, Directors. Pive years ago Judge
Hice began the taking of testimony. It
was concluded two years ago, and since then
Judge Hice has been cogitating. While
the report is not comforting to the plaintiffs,
some people have predicted for some time
past that it would be just about what it is.
Judge Hiel finds that Biddie(now dead) and
Beiber are liable to tbe assignee to the extent
of tbe overdrafts and balances shown on
fictitious accounts which entered into the oil
speculation, either by both or by Biddle
with Beiber's knowledge, and dismisses the
bill as to the directory. This is the sub
stance contained in 68 pages type-written
legal-cap.
Jndge Hice reviews the history and or
ganization of the defnnct bank in detail.
He describes the false assessments and deal
ings in oil of the President and cashier,
gives the deposits and reviews the run on
and failnre of the bank, and then goes on to
say:
It is doubtless true that Biddle had general
direction of the business, was the dominating
spirit in its transactions, and these accounts
and the manner of keeping them were doubt
less the result of his instructions. It is evident
that Reiber knew of tbe character of these ac
counts, tbe purpose for which they
were kept and that they were being
used as a means and cover for draw
ing large sums of money from the bank.
These were clear violations of the duties ot the
cashier. As to the other defendants, they
could only be held because of tbeir negligence
and the want of exercise of proper care as di
rectors. Negligence was tbe absence of
proper care. Their services were gratnitons.
and it any advantage resulted to them It was
Indirectly as stockholders of the bank. It was
not contemplated that they would give a whole
or even a considerable part of tbeir
time and attention to It. The officers
and employes had the immediate management
and the care required of the directors was that
of an ordinarily prudent man. As to the pub
lished weekly statement the directors were not
negligent. They were justified In relying on
the integrity of Riddle. As to the overdrafts
the directors could not be charged with want
of proper discretion. As to the competency ot
Riddle. Reiber arid the other subordinates, no
question is raised. A" to their honesty onttide
of Jthe bank nothing has been charged. Riddle
and Reiber were always trusted by
the directors. It was not required
that a director be an expert or
a competent bookkeeper, but to see tbat the
weekly, dailv land monthly statements corre
sponded with tbe general balances npon tbe
books. If a director had gone over the books,
being a competent acconntant, he might bare
found the frauds, but there is no law requiring
this. To do tbis wonld impose a duty which
should be paid for by banks.
A decree in accord with the finding is
recommended.

Kesnlt of a Chemical Analysis by
. Experts of Southside Water.
TAB KEPOET JOT SATISFACTORY
It is Too Technical forETen a Physician tor
Understand.
THE HATTEE TO BE C0NS1DEEED AGAIN
Another meeting was held yesterday by
the Southside Water Investigating Commit
tee. Chairman A. C. Bobertson called upon
Sonthsiders to state their grievances to the
committee, bnt as none reported, the gentle
men proceeded to the consideration of the
following report of the analysis of Southside
water made by Messrs. Hunt &'Clapp:
We inclose analyses of onr laboratory sample
7.686, water taken from the Mononzahela river
near tbe mouth of the company's 26-inch Influ
ent pipe, and sample 7,587, Witer taken from
the Monongahela Water Company's reservoir.
The chemical examination does not show neces
sarily poor water in either case.
Ammonia In tbe water is a product evolved
as the resnlt of the decomposition ol nitroge
nous organic matter. Its presence in water in
tbe small amoants tbat are reported in tbe
analysis, even of the foulest waters, is harm
less. It Is only as indicative of deeomDOsing
organic matter tbat it shows tbe poUonous
natnre of the water In which it Is found In con
siderable proportions.
When the free 'ammonia exceeds 0.02 parts
per 100,000 In water taken from a tbicklv ponu
lated district. It Is a sign that the water
CONSISTS OP DILUTE SEWAGE.
In such cases the water will also contain over
.6 parts of chlorine for river water, and over 0.8
parts per hundred thousand of chlorine for
deep well or sprins waters. Tbe presence of
albuminoid ammonia (over 0.018 parts per hon
ored thousand), with but Utile free ammonia
and chlorine, is generally an indication of veg
etable contamination of such character as to
bo Injurious to health. Where a sample of
water contains more than 0.7 pari per hundred
thousand of chlorine, together witb more than
0.015 parts per hundred thousand of free and
albuminoid ammonia, or both, chemists can
with a considerable degree of certainty state
tbac tho water contains decomposing nitroge
nous orcanlc matter,wbtcb either in iulef.or in
the accompaning germs, contains septic poi
sons, and will be danzerous for potable pur
poses. Although, as the character of the organ
ic contamination Is so varied, no exact danger
limit can be positively stated with present
knowledge of these Impurities. Not that the
presence ot chlorine, which largelv exists as a
common salt, is dangerous in itself, bnt that it
indicates the presence of septic poisons, wbich
cannot be separated by themselves.
Free ammonia represents the amount of
change or complete decomposition of nitrog
enous matter iu the water which has taken
place; aloumlnoid ammonia similarly repre
senting tbe amount of change of which the
water is still capable by reason ot the presence
of nitrogenous matter.
NOT SO VEST BAD.
The presence of nitrites and of ammonia
show intermediate states of decomposition of
the organic matter, which are due, very likely,
to tbe microbes and living germs ot disease
which ara nearly always present with decom
posing orcanlc matter.
From tbe above explanation the results of
tbe analysis show that both samples of water
are within the limits of what Is recognized as
good potable water.
The analyses wbich accompanied the let
ter were as follows:
On the sample of water taken from the mouth
nt the influent pipe:
Chlorine, parts per 100,000 0.Z760
Nitric acid, parts per 100,000 0.0900
Fiee ammonia, parts per 100,000 0.096
Albuminoid ammonia, part per 100.000.. 0.01M
Total solids, parts per 100.000 14.0600
Analysis of total solids in parts per 100,000:
Silica 1.03
Oxides of iron and alumina 080
Carbonate of limo 3.54
Sulphate of lime 4.18
Carbonate of magnesia 3.37
Chloride of soda LOS
Analysis of water taken from reservoir:
Chlorine, in parts per 100000 0.6370
Nitric acid,m parts per 100,000 Free.
Free ammonia. In parts per 11X3,000 0.0032
Albuminoid ammonIa,in parts tier 10O.0OD. 00304

Analysis of total solidt:

Oxide of iron and alumina, in parts per
100.000 0.8000
Carbonate of lime, In parts per 100.000.. 3.6100
Sulphate of lime, in parts per 100.000.... 4,1600
Carbonate of magnesia, in parts per
100,000 ..&S700
Chloride of soda, in pa.ts per 100,000 10600
NOT VEST WELL-PLEASED.
Dr. McCord said that he had grave
donbts, with all due respect to the chemists,
as to the parity of the water. The analyses
might be understood by a chemist, bnt it
gives the committee no satisfaction. Water
is composed of hydrogen, nitrogen and
oxygen, nnd the chemists had not told them
what p.nrts of these the water contained.
Mr. Ferguson agreed with Dr. McCord,
and thought that a clearer report was neces
sary. Mr. Holliday was dissatisfied with the re
port, and was certain that at times the water
furnished the Hill residents was so bad that
it could be smelled.
The report, however, was received and the
committee adjourned to meet next S iturday
afternoon, and all Sonthside citizens who
desire to be heard on the matter are re
quested to be present
