from New Castle, captured the hearts of her
audience by reciting "The Veteran's Daugh
ter," and she was compelled to reply to the
encore. Miss Parks, of Allegheny, also
gave a recitation.
At the reunion of the One Hundred
and First and One Hundred and Third regi
ments of Pennsylvania Volunteers, Colonel
Taylor, of the latter regiment, who now re
sides in Greeneville, Tenn., made a Btrong
address to his old comrades. The roll of the
missing in these regiments was very large
and there is a very small remnant of their
former number left.
OS DKESS PARADE.
The feature of the day was the dress
paraae. The veterans formed in line and
climbed over the rocky hills and marched
across the grassy fields, making a splendid
appearance. Many a one iu the ranks was
beard to lemark that it was more like the
old life over again to be compelled to climb
bills and shy around rocks, and they say
that street parades don't compare with this
for the real spirit of the thing. After
reaching the parade grounds the field
maneuvers were gone through with in a
manner that shows plainly that the former
teachings have not been nor never will be
forgotten. The "fours abreast; march!" and
the "first rank right wheel; march I" were
executed with a precision that would make
regulars feel proud.
Then the Sons, 200 strong, commanded by
Lieutenant Colonel H. 51. Eebele, proceeded
to show what they could do. They were in
strange contrast witn their veteran fathers,
who had broken ranks and weie back; watch
ing with pride the coming deienders of the
country's flag. The young men made a
fine appearance, healthy and strong and
dressed in their natty uniform of blue.
Their maneuvers showed that the boys are
early learning the arts of war, useless in
peace, but if their country calls they will
be readv to strike out in her defense.
This clo-ed agala day for the Grand Army
men of Western Pennsylvania and Eastern
Ohio. It was a day of good cheer, though
the parting was often sad, for no one knows
who will be among the missing at the next
rollcall one vear hence.

Willi TliolrOiitnj:.
Wilkinsburg is the home of a large number
of Grand Army men, and the picnic at Rock
Point yesterday was the great event of the year
to a goodly part of the population of that bor
ough. It seemed as if everyone were going to
the picnic yesterday morning. Nearly 300 tickets
for Kock Point were sold at the railroad sta
tion of the Pennsylvania Railroad, and there
was more excitement there than has been seen
for months.
last night the returning veterans and their
friends declared that the day at Rock Point
had been one of pertcct enjoyment. There had
not been a hitch in the arrangements all day,
and the affair had been a perfect success
throughout.
Postponed Unttl Sunday.
Tho reunion of the Arsenal explosion sur
vivors, which was to take place yesterday, was
postponed until Sunday afternoon. Yesterday
was tho anniversary of the terrible event, but
the Grand Army picnic drew the members to
Jiocc Point, which occasioned a postponement.
STOEY OF A WATCH.
It Was Intended for n .Vcbmika Bride bnt
F II Irto Other Ilnnds.
"Dash" McCoy was arrested last night by
Officer Pierce Brennan, while in campany with
Charles Shefford, a stranger in the city. The
latter claims he gave JleCoy bis watch which
the w ell known Hardscrabble resident promised
to sell for him. "Dash" carried out his con
tract but tried to get out of paying over the
money. As "Johnny" McTiche savs "they
were chewing the rag" when the officer came

Shefford lives in Nebraska nd says he
bought the watch for a yonug lady to whom he
was engaged to marry. The couple had a row
and he did not give her the watch. He came
East and had no sooner struck the town than
the watch got him Into trouble.
BEALE IS DEPOSED,
Blairsyille Presbytery Severs His
Connection With the Johns
town Congregation.
A HIGHLY EXCITED DISCUSSION.
The Doctor Reviews His Distribution of the
Subscription for the Flood
Sufferers.
ELDER FULTON INSISTS OK THE LIE.
Tne Kitto to It Bcferred to tbe Kelt Meeting of til
Synod.
The second day's session of the Blairsville
Presbytery was much more spirited than on
the previous day, from the fact that the
members had to dispose of all the important
business for which they met to .consider in
two days, and the finish was very exciting.
Bright and early the delegates who were ab
sent at the opening session arrived at Wil
kinsburg, and drove out to old Beulah
Church, about three miles north of Wilkins
burg, over one of the worst roads in the
whole State. The thickness and depth of
the mud was beyond measurement
Promptly at 9 o'clock Moderator Oliver,
of Latrobe, called the ministers to order,
after which he offered prayer. Boutine
business of the session was quickly disposed
ol after which the Presbytery settled down to
business.
A mild feeling of excitement prevailed
when Br. Ewing, of Blairsville, arose and
requested the Presbytery to dissolve the
relations of Dr. G. J. Beale as pastor of the
Johnstown church without farther investi
gation. THEY WANTED THE FLOOB.
Before he had quite finished his remarks
Dr. P. L. Senour. Dr.Wightman, Dr.Beale
and several others were upon their feet
waving frantically for recognition. Moder
ator Oliver held that they were all out of order,
and requested Dr. Eirtng to proceed with his
motion. It took several minutes before the
gentlemen became sufficiently calm to allow the
speaker to continue.
Dr. Ewing upon regaining the Moderator's
attention presented a petition signed by 163
members of Dr. Beale s congregation, request
ing tho Presbyeery to recall him from bis
charge.
This concluded Dr. Ewing's speech, and
be relinquished the floor to four
or five other ministers who stood up and one of
thorn, in order to cam the presiding officer's
attention, arose before Dr. Ewing had con
cluded, and the Moderator was compelled to
lnterrnpt the speaker while he requested the
delegate to sit down.
A motion was made to hear the committee
appointed by the congregation, but to this Dr.
Beale and his friends strongly objected.
Their objections were not sustained
and the committee was heard.
The first speaker was Elder Fulton,
one of the prime movers agalnstDr. Beale. He
said: "It is in defense of the Board of Elders
that I attend the session, and not to create
more dissatisfaction. Tne Board of Elders
accepted Dr. Beale's proposition, which was
tnat tee Doard and Dr. ueale wmild resign. He
did not resign until last Sabbath, when be
called a meeting without consulting the board
and tendered his resignation. Of course, it was
not accepted by his friends. There is no use in
ns having lengthy speeches on this matter. Dr.
Beale must go in order that peace may be re
stored." SOMETHING LIKE CONGRESS.
Dr. Beale then presented a number of peti
tions, which begged for his retention. He was
asked who the signers were, and be replied,
"Well, some are members of any congregation
while others do not attend my church." Ob
jection was made to this, bnt not sustained.
Dr. Milliker stated that be had heard Dr.
Beale make arrangements with the board to re
sign. Dr. Beale was upon his feet in an instant and
said, "1 deny that such an arrangement was
made by me."
Dr. Milliker retorted, "I do not take you
into consideration. I am talking to the Pres
bytery." After Dr. Milliker's speech, the minister
under charge took the floor in his own behalf,
and reviewed at length bis work at Johnstown.
In his remarks he stated that he had dis
tributed every cent of the money sent him for
the flooa sufferers to those it was intended for
regardless of denomination.
After Dr. Beale concluded a vote was taken
on Dr. Ewing's motion, which passed with an
overwhelming majority, and it was thereupon
declared that Dr. Beale was no longer pastor
of the Johnstown Church. Dr. Beale pro
tested against tho action of the Presbytery,
and said he would take the matter before the
General Synod at their meeting this fall.
wouldn't take it back.
The Board of Elders presented their resigna
tions, but the Presbytery would not act upon
them, and referred it to the congregation for
further consideration.
During his remarks Dr, Beale denied that
Elder Fulton had called him a liar, but Fulton
jumped up and said he did call Dr. Beale a liar,
at which the latter replied, sarcastically, "I did
not know that the gentleman had condescended
to honor me so much."
Loud rapping of the gavel followed this and
the presbytery was declared adjourned, amid
great confusion.
After the storm passed over, every one met
and discussed the action in an apparently
amicable manner. Dr. Beal appeared in good
humor and consoled himself with the reflection
that he would find recourse iu the Synod.
ONE OF THE REFUGEES
Becomes n Sick .linn nnd Ii Invltod to the
Iloapltnl tr of the Central button.
Officer Moessner, of No. 2 police station.
Eleventh ward, discovered a very sick man on
the hillside near Herron avenue last evening.
His face was covered with sorei, and the
officer deemed it best to send him to the
station. Thence he was taken to the nest
liousc, but the attendants there would not re
ceive him, as he was not a smallpox patient.
Then he was returned to the station house, and
Dr. Mayer called in, and said that the man had
not smallpox.
It developed later that the man's name was
Mjasky, that he was a Russian refugee, and
had been in this country but about two weeks,
and had left a wife ana two children at home.
In all probability he will take a ride to the
workhouse.

TO CHEAPEN PRICES.
AN OBJECT OF THE UNITED STATES
BAKING COMPANY.
The Wages at Manncers Fixed Yesterday
23 Factories In the Organisation How
the Nevf York Bakrra Were Deceived
bv n Srndicnte.
The United States Baking Company held
another meeting yesterday at the Anderson
Hotel. The main object was to fix the
salaries of some of the managers. Nothing
was done with prices, and they won't be ad
vanced unless flour should go up again.
The members have always been loth to talk
about the company, but last evening the secre
tary consented to speak.
It is a regular joint stock company that has
purchased 25 factories in the middle district of
tbe United States. No factories east of Buffalo
are in the Association. The object is not to
keep up prices, but to make bread and crackers
cheaper. The bakers weie forced to combine
by theKew YorkBiscuitCompany, which is con
trolled by moneyed men who don't knw any
thing about the business,but who have the men
from whom tbey bought in their employ. Their
factories were purchased by an alleged Engiih
syndicate, and each one supposed that' he was
dealing for himself, when oue bright morning
the bakers woke up and found themselves in
the same pot. Some, when tbey saw what a
foolish thing they had done, bought stock in
the new company at an advance in pi ice: that
s, repurchased their own concerns. It was to
avoid the repetition of sneb a trick, so tbo sec
retary claims, that the United States Baking
Company was organized, and it aim3 to protect
the weakest as well as the strongest. Having
worked hard to build up a trade, the members
propose to reap tbe profits themselves.
The only drawback the secretary
conld see to such an organization
was that the price of the products would
finally become so cheap as to make it impos
sible for small men in the business to continue.
It is cot the object to crush them, but it is a
natural consequence. Tbe company hopes to
reduce prices by practicing rigid economy and
avoiding waste.
At first the drivers and drummers were fear
ful that tbey would be no longer needed, but
the new company has use for all of tbem, and
the secretary states, never had any Intention of
discharging them.
A TRAIN CALLER MISSING.
Tbe Mysterious Actions and Disappearance
ol James F. Gnrrlson.
Inspector McAleese was yesterday informed
of tho mysterious disappearance on August
11 of James F. Garrison, who formerly lived
on Lafayette street. Twenty-third ward. Garri
son was employed as a train caller at the Lake
Erie depot. He did not return home on the
evening of August 11, but stopped at his
mother-in-law's house and told her he was
looking for a man who had caused him some
trouble, which he could not explain until he
returned. The next heard of htm he was in
Hamilton. Canada, and telegraphed his wire
that he would send her some money soon. He
also sent a postal card in which he said he
would return in 25 days.
On August 21 Mrs. Gamson received an en
velope postmarked Lockport, N. Y., contain
ing a lot of old papers known to have been tbe
property of her husband and a note which
read: "Good-bye my darling wife and chil
dren. God bless you all and take care of you
all. Minnie, forgive the fool if you can, for I
am nothing else. From Jim." On the other
side of the note was: "If any person finds this
for God's sake send it tothe people addressed
so that tbey may know I am dead." It is not
known who sent the package
AH ARGUMENT AGAINST GOOD E0ADS
II Wonld Make Hay 50 Cents a Ton Cheaper
in Allegheny.
Talking of country roads, said a man who
lives in the country: "Why bless you, we
farmers don't want good roads. If we had
them bay would be permanently cheaper,
by at least 50 cents a ton, than it is now.
It is true we conld haul as much more at
a load, which would be equal to an advance of
52 50 per ton, so that were the roads good the
result could be. practically, that we could get
$2 a ton more than we do now. but we Western
Pennsylvania farmers are not generally given
to ratiocination as tbose of Ohio. We oan only
understand that good roads would make hay
permanently cheaper In Pittsburg, and that is
all Allegheny county farmers have to sell unless
they raise fruit or garden stuff, and we
can further understand that it would
increase our taxes somewhat if we
were to make better roads. Why It
is not a great many years since a wealthy
farmer In what is now Stowe township, ob
jected to tbe improvement of the road that
leads off to tbe left from the Ewing's mill road
at Irish Jimmy's, solely on the ground that it
the road were made better the assessors would
value the land higher."

AFTER LOCAL TRADE.
Effect of the Inter-State Commerce
Law Upon Manufacturers.
NO MOKE HELP FROM RAILROADS.
How the Companies Made and Fostered
Business in the Fast.
A KEW ROUTE INTO THE COKE FIELDS
"When C. B. Wight, General Western
Freight Agent of the Baltimore and Ohio
road, is not busy, he is always willing to
talk, and he seldom opens his mouth with
out saying something. In a general conver
sation'yesterday about the railroad business
he said:
"As for the volnrae of business being car
ried by our road at tbe present, I notice by
reference to the report for the first week in
September that it is up to what we did last
year. "We have all we can do to
handle the .-traffic and cars continne to
be very scarce. The general tendency
of railroad rates these days is downward.
This is the result of competition from other
roads and from territory. I can explain
what I mean by the latter1 expression by
citing an example. To-day the Central
Traffic Association is asked to reduce the
rates on coal (rom Detroit to Chicago by tbe
Detroit people. They state that formerly
their competitors in manufacturing were in
Central New York, bnt tbe New York peo
ple have gone into Chicago and farther
west.
FORCED TO GO WEST.
"The Detroit people now claim that tbey
can't compete, and unless the rate on coal is
reduced they must either move to Chicago
or go West. In the same way the Mahoning
Valley pig iron has been shut out of the South
ern markets by the growth of the indnstry in
that section. We are not carrying much pig
iron any more from this valley to Southern
points.
"Before tbe davs of the inter-State law tbe
railroads would tell a business man in Illinois to
make trade in New York, and manufacturers
in tbe latter State to go to Illinois, and then by
a system of through low rates to take care ot
the business after it was created, and the rates
for intermediate points could be maintained.
But you can't do that now nnder the law. Tbe
rates all along the road mnt be changed.
The business men of this country are learn
ing that, as the West is growing and becoming
able to take care of itself, tbey must
depend on the local markets to
keep up their trades. It is impossible for the
railroads to help tbem much longer by reducing
the rates. They are down to hard pan now.
The great railroad problem is how to reduce
expenses. It is true tbe gross earnings of roads
are large, bnt on account of strikes, tbe higher
price ot labor and other causes the operating
expenses are larger.
BAILBOADS MAKE COHCESSIONS.
"If the Government controlled the railroads
business men wonld be worse off than tbey are
now. Uncle Sam would probaoly fix a
minimum rate below which it would be
impossible to go, while tbe railway managers
at present are willing to strain a point, if it can
bo done.
"By the way, on this question of wages, for it
enters into the problem, a gentleman from
Europe remarked to me the other day that we
Americans bad no idea how well off we were.
Our workmen are well fed in comparison to tbe
laborers in the Old World: in fact the average
American mechanic fares as well as the wealthy
people of Europe, and tbe rich of this country
live away ahead of tho kings and princes. In
America a man can marry whoever he pleases,
but few stop to think how tbe liberty of tbe
titled classes are curtailed in the Old World.
Tbey are bound down by social rules and
questions of political policy to such an ex
tent that their wills are not their
own. Only the other day I was amused at a
ridiculous thing. The Prince of Wales in
tended to visit a wealthy Hebrew in Austria,
because be liked the man. When tbo Austrian
nobility beard of it they wrote to Wales that
he was not permitted by tbe court of etiquette
to do it, and he didn't. No such social laws
would be tolerated in America. After all we
ooj nt to be happy."
MERGING TWO ROADS.
A MEASURE TO SAVE MUCH TIME AND
SOME DISTANCE.
The Prate Line and Fairmont, Morgnntown
nnd I'itttba .; Unite Under a Common
Name Both Roada to be Extended In the
Kenr Future.
The directors of tbe State Line Railroad
met yesterday at the Baltimore and Ohio
office, and agreed to merge the line with
the Fairmount, Morgantown and Pittsburg.
At the same time the directors of the latter
line met at Fairmont and signed the agree
ment. Tbe name of the new company will
be the Pittsburg, Fairmont and Morgantown
road. General Manager Patton, of the Pitts
burg aud Western, was President of the State
Line, and Thomas M. King acted in that ca
pacity for tbe other road. Tbe merger means
that InBtead of each company extending its
own line until tbe two met that one company
will do the work for both.
Tbe State Line road was projected to rnn
from Uniontown to the West Virginia line.
About three miles have been built. The other
road was mapped out to run from Fairmont,
on the main lino of the Baltimore and Ohio
road, to Morgantown. Of this road 28 miles ot
track have been laid, and this much of It Is
being operated. It is tho Intention in the near
future to extend both lines and connect them.
Rights of way are being secured now
along tbe State Line south, but no
contracts for work bare been let
When the extensions are made the new Dranch
will cut off considerable distance for the Balti
more and Ohio to Southwest points from tho
lake regions, at the same time relieving local
yards ot this traffic. It is needless to remark
that they are always badly crowded. 1 he dis
tance from Fairmont to Grafton is 22 miles.
The route flora Uniontown to Fairmont is
almost a straight line, and all the cuke for the
Southwest going over tbe Baltimore and Ohio
can be taken that way. A reference to a map
of the Baltimore and Ohio road will show at a
glance how much is raved in time and distance.
The territory through which the new road
will run is rich in coal fields and farming prod

MB. KILMAN OF THE GRANITE CUTTERS
ON IMPORTED WORK.
Wbnt nn English Technical Journal Say
orriitibnrc Tntter and Hogg Will be
Enabled to Fill Their Orders A Wildcat
Miner'. StilUe Story.
Mr. I". Kilman, of the Granite Cutters'
National Union has submitted a periodical
report to the President He observes with
pleasure that another firm, namely Kunkle
& Jordan.of Hazelwood, have gone into the
bnsiness of granite cutting. Beggs & Son,
of Allegheny, still continne to employ
foreign labor at lower wages than the trade
calls for. Mr. Kilman continues.
I wish to call the attention of our members
to the fact that the contract for the election of
the new Carnegie Library in Pittsburg win
soon be let Thousands ot dollars have been
lost in the past to the granite cotters of Pitts
burg and Allegheny through the unfounded
and senseless preference, which some Pitts
burg people have displayed for work done by
Eastern firms. I have said before, and I still
maintain, that tbe Hussey building, tbe Fidel
ity Title and Trust building, the Gormania
Bank building now rapidly approaching com
pletion, and a number of others, all erected
by Pittsburg firms, will be found on ex
amination to be superior in workmanship and
general finish to tho Carnegie Library building
of Allegheny, erected by an Eastern contrac
tor. We hope that the preference, which too
many people show for work done away from
home, no matter how it may compare with tho
product of home Indnstry and skill, will not
stand in the way of sums of our well-known
firms obtaining this contract. Such a method
of doing business may be fashionable, or "Eng
lish, you know," but it is not calculated to
benefit the granite trade in this vicinity, nor
to help onr business men, for what tbey gain In
fashionableness they lose in the quality of
workmanship and cost of construction, while
at tbe same time they assist in swelling the
records of the commercial prosperity bf other
cities.
AN EKOUSH VD2W OF PITTSBUBG.
English Mnnuinctnrers Will SIgli for Their
Conlliill. When They fcctleUoi.
Referring to the approaching visit of the
British Iron and Steel Institute of Pittsburg
tbe London (Eng.) Engineering says:
"Four days will be spent at Pittsburg, and,
from a technical pelnt of view, will probably be
the most interest of the entire period. This is
the focus of the American steel and iron trade,
and is endowed with very great natural ad
vantages. It is located in the middle of a rich
mineral region, which not only teems with coal
and iron, but spouts forth oil and gas and salt
in a way which renders it one of the wonders of
the world. Pittsburg is in the Mississippi
watershed, and at certain times of the vear can
be reached from tbe gulf by vessels drawing 20
feet of water. It lias access to the Atlantic by
the lake system, 150 miles distant, and in addi
tion has most ample railway facilities. The
city is iu the center of tbe Appalachian coal
field, which has an area of 15,000 square miles
and does an enormouB coal trade. Throughout
tho counties embraced in the coal region are
found extensive beds of iron ore, and tbere are
equally large deposits in the counties east of
and lying along the bases ot the Allegheny
Mountains. The irons of the celebrated Juni
ata region are close to Pittsburg, while to the
west are those of eastern Ohio. But the crown
ing glory of Pittsburg is its natnral gas. Other
lands have coal and iron and railways, bnt none
other has such an abundant, cheap and easily
utilized fuel. Many an English manufacturer
will sigh as be thinks of bis coal bill when
standing among tbe gas wells and noting their
immense output"
THREE FAMHIES OF PUDDLEES
Who Supply No Less Thnn Nineteen Union
Workers Between Them.
Puddling proclivities seem to run in families.
There is one Instance where three families sup
ply no less than 19 puddlers. John Walker,
Sr., of Sharpsburg, a powerfully built man, of
54 years of age, has nine sons who give the iron
trade tbe prelerence for a livelihood- They
are: John Walker, Jr., Jacob, Conrad, Peter,
Adam. William, Chris. Edward and Harry,
who, though yet at school, will become an Iron
worker.
Tbere Is another family of six brothers,
namely, Michael. Matbew, Mathias, John,
Paul and Georgo Eckhammer. who alto follow
the samo trade.and four other brothers, named
respectively Charles, Jacob, Lewis and Frank
Debold, also follow tbe same occupation. In
addition to tbe latter the family numbers two
others, also nuddlers. now living in Iowa. Tbe
father, Mr. 'Joseph Debold, who is nearly 70
years old. began puddling in Pittsburg 15 years
ago, 'when tbere were less than 100 furnaces In
this district It is remarkable that two of bis
sons are at present working at the same fur
nace their father labored at 30 years ago. Thir
teen of these men are workinc in the Vesuvius
mill, and six in the Mill vale iron works.
A WILDCAT STOEY.
A HensntlonnI Rnmor of Miner In Illinois
etriUine Ilns the Bottom Let Ont of It.
Someone, apparently on the outlook for some
thing sensational, started a wildcat story last
night of 40.000 miners in Illinois going on strike.
Tbere are not 40,000 miners in any district in
Illinois, and neither is there any probability of
an extended strike occurlng either there, or
for that matter, here or elsewhere among the
miners, just at the present juncture.
As more than once pointed ont In these
columns President Rao and tbn national officers

Asso-tlon Tbnt Dlea Acnlnit Whom the In

Tbe striking sawmakers at Beaver Falls held
a meeting on Tuesday night and repudiated the
assertions that tbey were connected with the
disturbances. It is said tbat many of the men
whose names are on tbe preliminary injunction
list, have been away from tbe town since tbe
strike began.
Some of tbe men talk abont suing the firm
for defamatory libel. Tbe labor organizations
of the valley have proffered help to tbe
strikers.

The Stony Creek Iron Company, of Morris
town, Pa., has Mgned the Amalgamated scale.
The Zanesville, O.. mill has also signed the
scale. This is regarded as a decided victory by
tbe officials here, as up to the present this mill,
which is an old established one. has steadily re

An Opinion on the Tnrifr.
Secretary William Martin says in the organ
of the Amalgamated Association: "Let the
tariff bill pass with the tinplate clause as it
left tbe House, and we predict tbat inside of
two years the price of tinplate will be below
tbat now paid for tbe imported and often in
ferior article.
"If the tariff hill passes the conference com
mittce with steel rails at 11 20 per ton, and tbe
bill becomes law, you can look out for squalls
in certain directions.
The Dlattcr St 11 Pending.
River operators do not anticipate any gen
eral strike by miners for observance of the
dead work scale, which was supposed to go into
operation yesterday. There does not seem to
be a unanimity of opinion among tbe trade as
to the propriety of doing so.

Another Specialist Jailed for Prac
ticing Without a Diploma.
DETECTIVES AFTER DR. SHAFFER.
Karnes of Some of tbe Patrons and Eig Fees
Paid for Advice.
HOW THE PHYSICIAN WAS CAUGHT
Dr. Milvin Dewey, who bas 'been doing
business at No. 323 Penn avenne as "The
Institute for the Cnre of Catarrh and Dys
pepsia," was arrested last night and locked
np in Central station, charged with practic
ing without a diploma and getting money
by frand. The doctor has two partners,
known as Doctors Shaffer and Penrose, and
the former will be arrested as soon as the
police department can locate him. He was
in the toils about six months ago for the
same ofiense, bnt was discharged at the time
by Inspector McAleese, who took pity on
the man and allowed him to go. Dr. Pen
rose is practicing in Allegheny, and has an
office on Perrysville avenue.
Several days ago Inspector McAleese
was notified of the operations of the insti
tute. A half dozen complaints were lodged
against the doctor by people who claimed to
have been victimized by the physician.
The case was placed in the hands of De
tectives Fitzgerald and Eobiuson, and the
first thing they fonnd out was that the
"doctor" was not registered in the Prothon
otary's office. Yesterday alternoon they vis
ited the institute at different times and con
sulted with the "doctor."
TWO TKRT BAD CASES.
Fitzgerald had a bad case of catarrh, say
ing he could not sleep at night and had all
the symptoms of the dreaded malady.
Bobinson had tbe dyspepsia about as bad as
a bloated millionaire conld possibly get it.
They paid $5 each and received bottles of
villainous-looking medicine. Robinson had
another complaint which he supposed was in
curable, but the doctor agreed to remedy the
difficulty for J15.
Fitzgerald's interview was held first and he
hastily secured a warrant for the arrest ox tbe
"doctor." He went back into tbe bouse and
found tbe physician just about to go ont He
asked for a minute's private conversation, and
tbe doctor led tbe way into his rear office,
with visions of another feature in his mind and
an itchy money-feeling In his hand. The de
tective read bis warrant and told tbe doctor to
come along. The latter trembled and tried to
get out of tbe difficulty, but bad to go along.
At tbe Central station a number of pacers
were found in a book, giving the names and ad
dresses ot his patrons. When he was locked
up the doctor s wife, wbo had accompanied
him. pleaded hard to be locked np with her
husband, and begged to be allowed to share bis
cell. As this is against tbe rules tbe request
was refused, and tbe woman persuaded to go
home. She cried bitterly, and said she would
get bail for her husband, but up until midnight
had not secured it The names of some of the
"doctor's" patrons are as follows:
SOME VEET NICE FEES.
Mrs. Emma McCllnton, No. 84 Sarah street
wbo paid 812 for herself and daughter; Miss M.
J. Patton, No. 19 Sturgeon street Allegheny,
who paid $50; Walter Lenbartz. No. 113 Shef

Mrs. Laura Werner, 562 Fifth avenue, S10;
Joseph Mencel, No. 9 Ann street $10, and F. J.
Kost, 1206 Penn avenue, 810.
A letter was also found from John Eerst No
S3 Main street, Salem, Ohio, who says he took
the doctor's medicine two days and it made
him worse. It gave bim palpitation of tbe
heart, and be complained of the doctor's treat
ment Ilr. Shaffer, who is a partner of Dr. Dewey's,
it wilt be remembered, was the bricklayer ar
rested seven or eight months ago for practicing
without a diploma, and If he is arrested again
it is probable tb.it the Allegheny County Medi
cal Society will push the case.
Superintendent O'Mara stated last night tbat
tbe medical society should have a man to in
vestigate such cases, and thereby protect the
public At present tbe police department bas
to take charge of them, and it is a class of
work that should be given to a police specialist

The following communication to the
Board of Trustees of the Southside Hospital
explains itself:
Pittsbtjbo. S. S.. Pa., September 15, 1890.
To the Board orTrnitees if the Southside Hospi
tal or Pltrsburz.
Gentlemen I herewith tender my resigna
tion as Superintendent otthe Southside Hos
pital of Pittsburg, to take effect October 1,
1890. I have contemplated this action for some
time on account ot tbe condition of my health,
f have hesitated, hoping I would recuperate.
.My physician now, however; demands my with
drawal from tbe ardiious duties connected
with tbe position. With kind wlsbe for tbe
success of the hospital and good will to tbe
Board and staff, I am yours truly,
L AAron Cole.
The resignation of Superintendent Cole is
a surprise to most people, bnt it was ac
cepted' by the board at a meeting held on
Monday evening. Mr. Cole's ill health is
given as the sole reason for his action. A call
was made at the hospital last evening, but Mr.
Cole was not In the institntion. His mother,
who resides at the ln-titution.'did not know
what ber son's intentions were for tbe future.
Dr. Thomas said last nieht that the hospital
is badly In need of funds and supplies. The
committee tbat collected a fund bypopnlar
subscription bas abont completed its work.
The llqnor men will be called upon this week.
When this money is ezbansted ibe hospital
will be put to extreme inconvenience. "We
want to get along nntll next April." said Dr.
Thomas. "Then we will ask the Legislature
for an appropriation, and I think wo will cet
it if we can show bow much value onr Institu
tion has been to the people on this side of the
river."
The first annual report of tbe hospital shows
that the institution started off with a good
record. Tbere were 243 patients admitted dur
ing the year. The receipts Here S8.3S7.83 and
expenditure! S5.185.69, making the average cost
of each patient 48 cents a day. Tbere were 20
deaths during the year, but seven of these oc
curred within six hours after admission to the
hospital, and two others were from poHon
taken by the patients before being admitted.
The management is anxious to have donations
of anything useful to tbe bospital, and donors
may leave their gifts at any drng store.

AH0THEB BIO GAS WELL.
Tbe Boar of the Ecnplna Pne! Heard Tbre
31ll Away.
What is said to be the largest gas well ever
struck in this neighborhood came in yesterday
afternoon on the Thompson farm, three miles
from Heating's, in the Perrysville district. The
well is owned by Dr. M. J. E. Moore. James B.
SIpe, Esq., and Fred Waldschmldt. They hava
U 9 acres in the piece, and put down the well a
a wildcat to test it. Operations were begun
last June and continued with the usual diffi
culties throuebout the summer, and yesterday
when the gas was reached they had gone to a
depth of 2,055 feet. Abont 2 o'clock the bit
went into the gas rock, and tbe pressure blew
the sand and stone far above the derrick and
carried away the crown pulley.
Tbe tools were drawn and the pressure
ganged, when she showed 700 pounds to the
square inch, about 200 more than any well in
this vicinity bas yet shown. It is impossible to
shut her in, and the roar and noise of the
escaping gas can be distinctly heard at Keat
ing', three miles away.

The Dnqoeino Electric Rond Asking for a
Way ! to Wllklnnburc
This evening the borough Council of Wilkinj.
burg will hold a special meeting to consider
the matter of tunneling the tracks of the
Pennsylvania Railroad at Penn avenue to
allow the Dnquesne Electric Street Railway to
get into the upper portion of the borough.
The matter bas hung fire for several months.
The last action taken in connection with it was
to appoint a committee to confer with repre
sentatives of the Dnquesne company as to the
relative amount of expense to be borne by
each. It is very important to the railway com
pany to get along Penn avenue, and there
seems to be bo way of doing this save by tun
neline the tracks of tbe railroads. The tunnel
is to be high enough to take a big load of bay
19 feet clear. It is expected tbat tbe detail
will be arranged at to-night's meeting, and that
work will be commenced upon tbe tunnel
forthwith.
