Show Before the (Sty Custciaerj Begin to Buy. Already the effects of the great Exposition are being shown in Pittsburg. They are most apparent to bnsinessjmen, who are each day reaping tbe benefits attracted to the city by the great show. The influx of peo ple to Pittsburg has been steady and is in creasing. The crowds of people from the outside all do more or less shopping, and that fact is creating quite a business boom. Some of the leading merchants say their sales hare increased from 25 to CO per cent. Everybody who comes buys something, and tbe merchants are so elatea over the results that they would give amounts as high as 515,000 rather than see the Exposition end. Another merchant says the money he con tributed to the Exposition is the best paying investment he ever made. BIG DEY GOODS SALES. Mr. Home, of Home & "Ward, puts it very clearly when he says almost the entire trade of September is due to the Exposition. Said he yesterday: "The Exposition is of almost unestimable benefit to the merchants of Pittsburg and to the city in general. This is unusually a dull month. The city people have just returned from their summer out ings and are not ready for business. They do not commence their shopping until late in the month. The Exposi tion and the cheap excursions bring in people within a radius of 100 miles. They are good people and buy good goods. Almost all our sales this month are to people outside of the city. They are from towns lite Kew Castle, West Kewton, Greensburg, etc They take just as fine a quality of goods as do the city people, and they are not hard to deal with. Last vear our sales increased 20 per cent. and this year thev will be advanced to 25 per cent at least. There are more new faces loo, and we are getting a class of trade that would not be reached in any other way. Of course there are many of them who would come at some other time of tbe year, and this brings them in earlier. It is an ad vantage to us. We can give better service cow than we could when the city rush is on, so if we did not get any new people we would still be ahead." riTTIXG OUT THE FAMILY. Kaufuiann Brothers are jubilant. "'Why," said one member of the firm yesterday, "our business has increased 50 per cent. The in crease is nearly all country trade, and we can trace it directly to the Exposition. At Jeast 25 per cent are people who never dealt with ns before. They came here with the intention of buying. A father who wants to fit out his family reasons that by coming to Pittsburg he will have a better selection, he will be able to save enough in his purchases to pay his expenses, and can see the Exposition for nothing. "We are away ahead of last year now and when more excursions are run we expect even greater results. We could hardly do with out the Exposition now. The money our firm subscribed toward its erection I regard as the best investment we ever made. It is paying us bigger dividends than any other stock we hold." "What effect is the Exposition having on your trade?" was asked of Mr. Paul Hacke, ot liugus & Hacke, yesterday. SOT LIKE CITY SHOPTEES. "You can see it right here," was the response. Look at this crowded store. It is a wet day and in a dull season, yet look at the crowds. The Exposition alone is responsible for it The increase in business has been wonderful I might say almost 50 per cent. The increase lrom the country Dcople who would not likely come to us in any other way. They come bete with the inten tion of buying, and thev do business quietly. They are not like the professional city shoppers, who simply go into stores to gossip and worry the clerks. I could not begin to tell the benefits we are deriving from the Exposition, but if there was a situ ation where a question of money would hold the Exposition" here, I would willingly put myself down for 15,000, and think it a jjood investment." At the People's store the proprietors were not so sanguine, although they expect brighter things for the future. The result of a talk with Mr. Dick of that firm, was as follows: "Although the Exposition has not done much for us yet, there is a notice able increase. The weather has been so bad that nothing would bring out people. "When more excursions are run we expect to do a big business. The Exposition has helped us heretofore, and has brought in customers that would not otherwise have come. "We expect it to do the same or bet ter this year." TOLD ITS OWS STOBY. Tbe crowds in the store of Biber& Easton told the story before even the question was asked. Mr. Easton said the firm was en joying a heavy country patronage, and while most of the people were regular out-of-town customers, there -were a number of new faces. He attributed the increase en tirely to the Exposition, and said it made it more convenient to handle the outside trade at this time than later in the season when the city patrons were doing their shopping. Himmclrichs the shoe men, were loud iu their praises of the Exposition. Their trade was materially increased over last year and wonderfully over September of the year be fore. They blamed the Exposition and the cheap rates for a large part of their extra trade. "The Exposition is an educator," re marked Mr. Boggs, of the great drygoods firm across the river. "It teaches peoplehow and what to buy. Its value to Pittsburg and Allegheny can not becounted in dollars and cents. "We are receiving some outside trade from the people who attend the Ex position, but most of it we would get any how. Still, abont 25 per cent of our coun try trade is of that character that would not come to ns in any other way than by the Ex position. It brings a good class of custom ers that might not come to us at all." Joseph Home & Co.'s stores of course were crowded, and Mr. Joseph Home said many of the people were persons who came here for the purpose of seeing the Exposi tion. He said: "There has been a great in crease in our bnsiness since the Exposition opened. Last year there was an increase, but this year it is greater. I could not say what per cent oursales have been advanced, out it is an unusual amount" EXOKHOUS GLASS SALES. In tbe glass bnsiness the story was the same. Said T. G. Evans, ot T. G. Evans & Co. "The increase in sales is exceedingly gratifving. The merchants have learned the habit of buying only in small qnantities from traveling "salesmen. They wait to bay their big stock until they come to the Ex position. Then tbey visit the various estab lishments, make a better selection, and, in many cases, secure better prices. The Ex position has cansed a boom in the glass trade here at least" Jewelry stores too were in for a share of. the Exposition patronage. For example, Mr. EC P. Roberts said: "Our trade this month has increased 33 per cent It has all been with the country people from the Ohio and Western Pennsylvania towns. They buy the best qaality ot goods. In many cases one person in coming to the Ex position does shopping for a number ot their friends and buys big bills. Aside from this all the people who come here buy some thing. Each one carries off some trinket or piece of bric-a-brac Daring the time when there was no Exposition there was a notice able decrease Now the increase is even greater than ever before, and when, more ex cursions are run into Pittsburg there maybe even difficulty in taking care of tbe people. We have almost as many clerks now as we run in the Christmas season, and if this boom keeps on we will have te get more." NO CHOICE MADE. Conferred In tbe Foitr-slxth DUtrict Ballot Three Tlmci for a Senator Colonel Ilawkim hare He ! In It to Stay Another Sleetlnc In October. Another attempt was made yesterday to nominate a Republican Senatorial candidate in the Forty-sixth district which ended in failure. Two sessions were held at the Monongahela House, and the conferees de cided to try it again in the same place October 3. Washington county's candidate. Colonel Hawkins, was represented by A. W. Pollock, T. D. M. Wilson and M. L. A. McCracken, or rather these gentlemen claimed to represent the Republican party in Washington. The present incumbent Samuel P. White, of Beaver, was not present, but his conferees, J. F. Mitchell, W. H. Bncker and M. F. Mickhn, were on band. One of the members of Captain White's family is very 111, and he could not attend. Three ballots were taken, and every man stood "pat" for his choice. The Washington county conferees are determined not to vote for a Beaver man. and Mr. McCracken ex pressed a common sentiment yesterday when he said that if Colonel Hawkins was not nomi nated thev would vote for some other Wash ington county man. Colonel Hawkins is figur ing on running indepently if no choice can be made, but he states that such depends on tho Democratic candidate as to whether he could ho elected or not. He says the Beaver county people are using the same old cry that they have always made that unless Washington wheels into line the success of the ticket is endangered. Washington is not in the wheeling business this time. Mr. McCracken states that the other side have threatened to attach Washington to Greene county, but tho Republicans, he added, invite snch a prospect. Ho thinks the Republican majority in such a district would be about 500. Colonel Hawkins taid. however, that he was in the hands of the conferees. If they see flt to drop him, or think that Mr. White is a better man to represent the district than himself, that he would willingly step aside. Since tbe dis trict wan organized. 24 years ago. Beaver has had 12 out of the 19 sessions. wMle Washington polls a larger Republican vote by 2.000. Ho claims Washington is a wealthier county than Beaver, thatlts interests are more diversified, and that bis county has not had il3 share ot representation. HELD POE HIGHWAY BOBBEBY. Three Men Cbnrced With Relieving nn lllallnn of S90. Robert Loughrcy and A. J. Scorer, conduc tors on the Fifth Avenue Traction line, and Joseph Baird, of No. 41 Logan street, were each held for court in default of JL.000 bail yester day on a charge of highway robbery.

A Fnrlona Itnlinn Tnrna From nil Intended Victim to nn Officer. G. Pandolfa, the proprietor of a confection ery store at No. 9S0 Liberty street, got Into an altercation last evening with John McCune, a brakeman of Allegheny, over a purchase made by McCune. Tho argument became warm and Paudolfa finally assaulted McCune with a hatchet. He struck at McCune savagely, and the latter tried to delend himself and cried "murder." Officer Robert Smothers, of the Twelfth ward station, was on the opposito side of the street and hearing the cry ran over. He seized Pandolfa, who turned from McCune and began to cut at Smothers. One blow gashed open Smother's scalp for several inches, and another ga e him a severe cut on the breast. He was beaten to the ground for a moment, but managed to get on his feet again and hold on to the furious Italian. While the two were struggling Captain Mer cer appeared, and he and Smothers sucreedea in arresting Paudolfa, McCune and Joseph Casotl. another Italian in the store. The three were sent to Central station, and after a bad cut on McCune's shoulder bad been dressed, tbey were locked up. Smothers' Injuries were severe, but not dangerous, and after seeingtbe prisoners locked up he proceeded to a physi cian's office and had his wounds dressed. WAS HOT CHL0B0F0BHED. TonDE Lytton Confcmct to Robberies nt tbe Y. M. C. A. Building. Charles Lytton, who was arrested by De tective Gumbert for robbing tbe East End Gymnasium cloak-room of several valuable articles including two gold watches, confessed his guilt and waived hearing for a trial at court before Alderman Hyndman yesterday afternoon. Lytton is bnt JC years old and the only support of his widowed mother, who lives in a cosy little boose on Ellsworth avenue, near the railroad bridge. He was a member of the Yonng People's Christian Endeavor Union, Young Men's Christian Association, Shady Avenue Baptist Church and all tbe other religious organization in that section of the city. His mother denies the statement that her son had chloroformed her for the purpose of stealing her money.

Nledrlnebnns sny Money Is Fcnrco Among Slock Brokers nnd Gambler. Congressman Niedringhaus. of St. Louis, passed through the city last evening on his re turn to Washington. He says the tariff bill will be passed, and as soon as it is done the House will adjourn. Mr. Niedringhans thinks that if tbe appropriation bills had been passed about July, and the money had gone into tbe regular channels, there would be no scarcity of money at present. He claims that a man in a legitimate business can get all tbe money he needs, but the stock brokers and gamblers are hard up. TO ARGUE IT AGAIN. An Old Act of Assembly to Be Flashed In the Poor Farm Deal. Judge Ewlng yesterday ordered a reargn ment of the Poor Farm case to bo held on Friday.

KV .!? .TTiUS - NEWMAN IN CMRGE. Colonel Herron to be Agent for Mrs. Schenley's Pittsburg Estate. WHAT ATTORNEY T0EEENS SAYS. Ha Intimates Trouble With ChieMigelow Cansed Bis Bemoval. BLIND ASILUM SITE SllLL IN DOUBT The control of the vast estates of Mrs. Schenley, located in Allegheny county have changed hands and Mr. Finley Torrens is no longer Mrs. Schenley's agent Several months ago Mr. W. A. Herron was' asked to take charge of the estate, but did not care to do so at that time for private reasons. However, a few weeks ago Mrs. Scheuley informed bim that she was .about to make a change and he was asked to take control. Alter carefully cunsidenng the matter Mr. Herron decided to accept the position- and has received his appointment and power of agent The estate is one ot the largest in the county, and its extent can hardly be esti mated. It includes land in the principal parts of the city as well as in tbe suburbs. Mrs. Schenley owns "about half ot the Twelfth ward, Allegheny, and has property jn the First, Second, Fourth, Sixth, Twellth, Fourteenth, Filteenth, Sixteenth, Eighteenth and Twenty-second wards of Pittsburg. In some of the wards mentioned above about three-fourths of the property is held by Mrs. Schenley. HER VAST ESTATES. The liberality of Mrs. Schenley in making the numerous grants of land to the city for charitable purposes has made her not only famous but very popular in this city, and as a consequence every move made in the workings o; her vast estates becomes more or less interesting. Mr. Finley Torrens, who has been acting as Mrs. Schenley's agent ior many years, was called upon last night at his residence on Frankstown avenue, E.ist End. He said: "There has beeu dissatisfaction between Mrs. Schenley and myself ior various reasons and I intimated to her that perhaps it would be better if our relations ceased. Tne trouble lay iu the fact that we were acting in MrsSchenley's interest and were trying to secure ior her a fair price lor the land she was about to sell. Others were working against us and iu their own inter ests and Mrs. Schenley chose to take their advice in preference to ours. About the blind (asylum tiie I know nothing. Mr. Bigelow could probably tell more about that as he interested himself very much in the matter and traveled to Europe especially to see Mrs. Scnenley." Mr. Thomas Caruahan, who has been ap pointed as Mrs. Schenley's attorney to suc ceed his father, the late K. B. Carnahan, was also asked about the trausier, but re lused to make any statement He said it was a private matter, and he did not care to talk on the subject. COLOSXIi HEBRON ADMITS IT. Colonel W. A. Herron, when approached on the question of his appointment, said he did not care to talk, but alter hearing Mr. Torrens' statement said: "Yes, I have been appointed to the agency of the estate, but was not anxious to have it made public just at present I was asked to take charge of Mrs. Schenley's affairs in Pittsbnrg several months ago, bnt declined. A few weeks ago she wrote me and said she was about to make a change and would like to have me take bold. After a careful consideration of the matter, I decided to accept and did so. My papers of appointment have arrived, but I have not taken charge of the business yet, and don't Know just when I will. Tbe appointment was entirely unsolicited, and it was a long time be fore I really decided to accept it. As yet I know nothing of tbe estate and really don't know tbe extent of Mrs. Schenley's posses sions." Mr. John W. Herron, the junior partner of the firm, returned yesterday from a pleasure trip to Europe. He left this city early in July, some time before his father was appointed Mrs. Schenley's agent. He knew nothing of the matter until one day in London he met Attor ney Thomas Carnahan with Mr. Bieelow. and the former informed him of bis father's ap pointment. Later be received a cablegram from his father telling him of the change, and asking him to call on Mrs. Schenley. In regard to his interview with Mrs. Schenley Mr. Herron said: 02 THE BLIND ASYLUM SITE. "I received father's message just asl was aboutto leave London and had very little time to spare. I made the call during tbe afternoon. I found Mrs. Sohenloy a very pleasant lady. We talked over the affairs of tho estato in general, but nothine in particular. Of course, tbe blind asylum site was mentioned, but it has not been decided upon." "But Mr. Bigt low says he knows the location," interposed the reporter. "No." continued Mr. Herron. "Mr. Bigelow may know where he thinks it ought to be, and he would probably have it on the bills of Alle gheny, but It has not been selected and may not be for some time. Mrs. Scbenley is wait ing until she finds where it ongbt to be located, and then tbat matter will be finally settled. Until wo take full charge of the business wo will know verv little of its workings. These little matters will all be attended to later on." Tho advice of the Messrs. Herron will prob ably be taken as to the location of tbe blind asvlnm site as in other matters pertaining to the estate, but they refused to talk further on the subject, preferring to wait until the entire business is in their bands. Tbe removal of Mr. Torrens. it is claimed. Is the result of the latter's antipathy to Chief Bigelow in tbe Schenley Park grant. Ike story of Mr. Tor rens' hurried trip to Enrope to head off tbo deal is too well known for repetition. INTO THE MUDDY' WATER. . A DInn Lenpi From the Railroad Bridge Last Klght nnd Disappears. Shortly after 8 o'clock last night J. S. Russell and William More,wholivoat No. 28 Thirteenth street, ran up to Officer Conway while the latter was patrolling his beat on Penn avenue, near Eleventh erect, and told him that a man had just jumped from the Ft. Wayne Railroad bridge, between Tenth and Eleventh streets. They said they were standing near the bridge ana their attention was attracted by a man rnnning rapidly out on tbe bridge. When at the second pier tbey saw bim spring over the railing and jump into the river. Neither Rus sell nor More could give a description of the man, nor how he was dressed. GBAND ABMY REUNION.

'TV-' , ;THE .-. PITTSBURG- DISPATCH.' WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER' 17. .1390. ' - ' ..--.-, . - - . ..faJ PITTSBURG HE CANNOT PULL THROUGH. THAT IS THE VERDICT OF A. C. JARRETT'S FRIENDS. Hit Liabilities Snld to be Doable the Amount of Bli Aiseta W. N. Jarrett nnd Others Slay bo Rained His Present Whereabouts n Mystery. The second disappearance of A. C. Jar rett of the Soutbside, is a complete puzzler to his friends, who have all along placed such implicit confidence in his ability to re cover from his financial prostration. There are but a (ew left now who have faith in him and who think that he will get out all right not that he is less honestly inclined than ever, but that his liabilities are so overwhelmingly in excess of his assets that it would be a practical Impossibility for him to do so. A careful inquiry among those who are ac quainted with Mr. Jarrett's affairs brought out tne fact that his liabilities are in tbe neighbor hood of f 60,000. Of this be has confessed judg ment to James Campbell for $20,00. .His nncle. the ex-Alderman. Is on notes amounting to sev eral thousand dollars, and he bas also loaned the real estate azent a considerable amount. Mrs. Margaret Milford, of the Hill, claims to be a creditor to the amount of 52,000 through a mortgage deal, and William Weil, of Weil & Rolland,is lndorser for 34,000, It is said that his uncle, W. N. Jarrett, Is ruined unless Mr. Jarrett is able to sqnare up. The missing real estate agent is the owner of considerable pronerty. He owns the property occupied bv bis family on Carson street, ana he has property in all of the Twenty-fourth, Twenty-fifth and Twenty-sixth wards. It is thonghthis assets will run up close to 30,000. He was interested in several land deals re cently and made money rapidly at times. A great many say that if be had had tbe courage to race bis creditors and keep his business in operation, with a little leniency fromtboseto whom be is indebted, he would have been able to pull through all right. There were a great many rumors afloat last night in regard to where he bad gone. The reports bad him all the way from Chicago to Philadelphia, bnt bis most Intimate friends professed ignorance as to his real whereabouts. James Campbell is out of the city, and it is strongly suspected that he knows where Jarrett is. The talk about a meeting of creditors being called for to-day has evidently been started by some energetic reporter. K o such meeting has been called nor is there one likely to be. No one conld he found who knew anything about it. A call was made at the house of James W. Patterson, in Knoxville, but he was absent from home. WHERE MUSIC BEIGNS. Prof. Weiss Crlcbrntes the Twenty -Fifth Anniversary of His Leadership. Lsst night marked the quarter century line of th'e existence of the Great Western Band as a chartered organization. It also was the twenty-fifth anniversary of the leadership of Prof. Weiss in that association. In honor of the event the band last evening gave a supper in the German la Liederkranz on Marlon street. The affair was a surprise to Prof. Weiss. Jnst before midnight the Great West ern Band of 35 pieces com menced a ser enade in front of Mr. Weiss' borne, and the selection was the G reat Western Band march, which was composed by Mr. Dietz, a member of the organiza tion. This was followed by a pot po nrri from Offen bach's operas. Immediately after the mu sic the whole partymarched to tbe ball, where Mr. Matt Weiss had prepared a lunch. The exercises were onened by an address by President Roenlgk of the or ganization. In honor of the work done by tbe noted leader, he was presented by the mem bers with a handsome gold medal. The design was exquisite and was tbe result of Terhey den's finest workmanship. A perfect fac simile Is shown in tbe cut. Several solos were given by Phil Weiss, and also by Joseph A. Vogelt These were but starters, and nntil early this morning selections from the brightest composers were givn be tween the stories told of the early days of the band. It was formed in 1852, and was known as Jung's band. This was tbe first professional musical organization in Pittsburg. As volun teers, tbe members went to the war In 1862 as the band of tbe Twelfth Regiment. In 186s the name was changed to the Great Western Band, and a charter secured. Since then tbe Great Western Band has taken a place as one of the great bands of America. ACCIDENTS OF A DAY. One Fatality la Which a Cable Car and a Wagon Had a Hnad.

A Locomotive Boiler Tbat Was in a Pretty Bad Condition. THE TEIAL ATTKACTING IKTEEEBT Testimony was taken yesterday in the office'of Daniel Harrison,, Esq., in the suit of John McKinney vs. The Pittsburg and Lake Erie Bailway Company, operating the Pittsburg, McKeesport and Yough iogheny Kailway. The case is to be tried in Youngstown, O. Two men named John McKinney and John M. Ludwig were frightfully mangled by the explosion of a boiler on the road last winter. They each sue ior 550,000 damages. Ludwig Bnes in this county. McKinney's suit comes up next week. W. S. Anderson and W. J. Terrill are the plaintiff's attorneys, and J. P.

McKinney's injuries were received on the 13th of February at Douglass' siding. The engine that exploded was No. 29, attached to a gravel train. The brakeman was killed. TESTIMONY OF EXPEBTS. George H. Hawksworth, foreman of the boiler department of the Pittsburg division of the Pennsylvania Bailroad and for 30 years an employe of that companv, William H. Wilmer. of the West Po'int Boiler Works and formerly inspector of boilers for the Pennsylvania Bailroad and latterly of the Huntingdon and Broad Top Bailway, experts, were examined in behalf of McKin ney and against the finding of the Coroner's jury who found tbat low water was the cause ot the explosion. It was sworn to with ex ceeding positivenesa that low water was not the, cause and that none of the indications of low water were present and that all indica tions were that the boiler was full of water; that there were no indications of burnt iron and that the metal was of good quality, but not of sufficient strength to bear the pressure required; also that the stay-bolts were old and worn out, and that the" heads of many of them were missing, and had been for a considerable time and that from the incrus tation of the heads of tbe bolts they ap peared to have been so for a number of years and that an inspector who knew his business should have condemned the boiler. IN VEBT POOB CONDITION. Mr. Hawksworth testified that in his opinion the stay-bolts had not been replaced during the last 15 years, and that he had never before seep a boiler in so bad condi tion. Both he and Wilmer said they saw incrustation, or scale, on the crown-sheet np to the crown bars to tbe depth of several inches, and the boiler looked as though It haa never been cleaned ont. The Coroner's jury found that tbe explosion was due to Ludwig's negli gence, and he also disputes the finding and sues for damages. Silas W. Ludwig, a brother of the engineer, testified to the identifiication of engine, and said he took Hawksworth and John Muller, the latter a steamboat engineer, to examine the engine and cause of the explosion when McElnney and the engineer were lvlng at the point of death in the West Penn Hospital. He said they were now hor ribly disfigured and wonld be for life. He also testified tbat the previous witnesses had told the trntb respecting the condition of tbe boiler, and said that according to the shop mark the boiler had been built in 186& IN CONFLICT tVITH THE COBONEB. On cross-examination this witness rehearsed the proceedings during the Coroner's inquest and the finding of the jury, and said tbey were the cause of his individual investigation and action in the matter. All three witnesses united in substance to .the effect and somo in exact werds, tbat the engine was unsafe and only fit for the scrap pile. Tbe trial attracts particular attention from tbe fact that almost all semblance to humanity was obliterated from the plaintiffs by their mishap. It is said the average Mahoning county, O., jury gives 4,000 damages for the loss of a finger. Drs. McCan and Dickson al most reconstructed McKinney when he was in tbe hospital. Half of (the flesh of bis face and all of his nose and a con siderable portion of bis scalp were torn off so tbat tbey fell down onto his shoulders, and bis thigh, leg and arm were broken. It might pay railway companies to set aside a small portion of their earnings for the stimu lation of invention and application of some other motive power than steam. Rbenmntism nod Chronic Diarrhea. Mr. A. Dinner: Dear Sib T am truly glad, from the depths of my heart, to have tbe opportunity of telling the public what your "Essence of Health" has done for me. For three years I was badly afflicted, first with that dread disease rheumatism, and then with liver and kidney disease. For over two years had chronic diarrhea, and was most miser able with pain and suffering. I employed different physicians and tried a great many remedies without receiving any benefit Last April I heard of your wonderful medi cine. I had not taken one bottle until my disease was checked, and from that time have been rapidly improving. I have taken nine bottles, and am" to-day fnlly restored to health and strength, and wish to say to the public I heartily N recommend your "Essence of Health" to all that are afflicted as I have been. Any one wishing any further information will cheerfully receive it by calling at my home or addressing me. Yours truly, Mbs. John Baker, Cor. First and Church streets, South Oil City, Pa.

It is tbe popular verdict of all wbo have seen the display of elegant Everett pianos at tbe rear end of'the main building. When the crowd is not listening to the band you will find them listening to these beautiful toned in struments. The best part of it is, that any one, rich or poor, can own one x( them, as they are sold on the club system, and pur chasers can. by becoming a member of the club, save $75 from the retail price, and by paying cash can have the piano delivered at once, by paying $1 per week, will get the piano iii a snort time, or can arrange to get the piano on payment of $25 cash and 510 per month in any case. They get the bene fit of the wholesale price secured by the clubs in contracting for the large number o pianos. Tbe plan appeals to the comm;n sense of the people, and is very popular.

Knotty Problems for the Public Safety Com mittee A bnggeitlon to Keep Canines for Four Dnys In Order to Allow Anybody to Reclaim Tbem. The Public Safety Committee met yester day afternoon and affirmatively recom mended to Councils ordinances authorizing Chief Brown to purchase lots in the nine teenth and Twenty-first wards for garbage furnace purposes. One ordinance provides for the purchase of eight lots owned by James B. McDowell, ironting 167 feet on Butler street, running back 178 feet toBiver avenue for $600. The other is for five lots fronting 178 feet on Butler street, run ning back 103 feet to Biver avenue in the Twenty-first ward, at $500. The ordinance providing for taxing and erecting pounds for dogs was considered. An amendment was made to the section fix ing the rate of taxation. Tbe original ordi nance provided a tax of $2 per head for dogs, without regard to sex. The amendment fixed SI as tbe annnal :tax for a male and $2 for female dogs. Several objections were raised to the provisions of the ordinance. Mr. Larobio expressed bis belief that tbe method adopted by Chief Brown this summer, of poisoning and not taxing dogs was the best and cheapest. He did not think thera would be a sufScient num ber of owners of dogs pay the tax to pay for tbe services or a pound master and other incidental expenses. Another objection was the time that dogs should be kept in pound before killed. Tbe ordinance fixes 48 nonrs as tbe limit. One member of the committee thought it should he four days. He said that in St. Lonis the law requires tbatdogs captured on the streets shall be kept in pound two days for the owner to re claim them. If not reclaimed then they are kept two days longer, and in tbat time any person can come along and, by paying the tax. select a dog from tbose held over and buy It for a nominal sum. He said tbat, as some dogs were highly valued by their owners, it was un fair to kill them withou t giving a better oppor tunity to recover their animals. As there seemed to be several points in the ordinance that were not clearly defined, the committee decided to postpone action npon it nntil the next meeting. FOE DOUGHTY'S ABBEST. District Attorney Johnston Wonld Not Issue the Process. In the Criminal Conrt yesterday Attorney L. K. Porter presented a petition asking that a process be lssned for the arrest of Alderman Doaghty, of the Sixteenth ward. Alderman Doughty was convicted of conspiracy at tbe time of tbe trial of tbe Bander gang, but ob tained a special allacateer from the Supreme Conrt, allowing bis release on bail pending a hearing before the Supreme Conrt at its ses sion here next montb. Since then the Mqmre has been out on bail. Mr. Porter yesterday stated tbat Mr. Douglity's bondsman had died, and be understood be was about to leave tbe citv. He therefore asked for a process for nis arrest District Attorney Johnston refused to issue the process, holding that the court had no knowledge of tbe Alderman's intentions, but consented to have a rule issued on him to show cause why a process should not be issued. This will give Alderman Doughty an opportunity to furnish new bail. Mr.G.W. Sothebland, a druggist in the town of Colfax, State of Washington, keep3 in stock all of the leading medicines ior throat and Inng diseases, but says he sells more ot Chamberlain's Cough Bemedy than any other other and has never heard a com plaint from anyone. This remedy gives en tire satisfaction, because it can always be depended upon. It is popular because it never disappoints and because it is pleasant and safe to take. Let anyone afflicted with a severe cold or other throat or lung trouble, give it a trial and he will realize for himself what a valuable medicine it is, and learn why it is so popular.

HOT A BED OP B0SZS. ? i , ig Tho Board of Viewers Has a Seance More Exciting Than Pleasant. An interesting meeting of the Board of View ers was held yesterday to receive claims for damages by the grading of Carnegie street. Eighteenth ward. About a dozen women, all of. very pronounced accent appeared. The re port of the viewers was read, and showed that bnt one property-holder on the street had been allowed damages, although all had filed claims. The one exception was Mrs. McMahon. whose lot is left about two feet below grade, and who will be compelled to raise her house on account of the change. She was awarded 82S0 by tbe viewers. When the other women learned they were to get nothing, they began all at once to argue tbe matter with tbe viewers, with each other, and particularly with Mrs. McMahon. Finally Mrs. McMahan, driven to despera tion by the lanenage addressed to her by her neiefabnrs, told the viewers she would waive claim to damages unless her neighbors were likewise awarded, as.sbe explained. It would he as much as her life and property was worth to take tbe money and then live among them unless they got some too. Tbe viewers realized that, while their award was correct Mrs. Mc Mabon's desires were entitled to consideration. Finally, In order to seenre time to arrange mat ters amicably, tbey adjourned the meeting and will make another examination of the property before preparing their final report MEW CHABTEBS ASKED POB.
