FOR THE EEW POOR FARM SITE.

Be Satisfied.

AKGDMESTS FEOSI TWO POISTS OF TIEW
The Prtssfcg Keel of a Htmiap&l Hwjitsl it Also
Brongbt Up.
Pittsburg's search for a poor farm site
must be begun again, the purchase of the
Stewart farm in 'Westmoreland county
having been declared off by Judge Ewing.
The case will not be carried up to the
Supreme Court. City Attorney Morcland
was questioned on this point yesterday and
said: "No, I shall not appeal from Judge
Ewing's decision unless ordered to by City
Councils. Do I think I have grounds for
an appeal? "Well, that is a leading ques
tion. I am satisfied with the decision as it
stands. Yes; some lawyers are always con
fident that they can persuade the Supreme
Court to reverse the lower court, but they
are dangerous people to do business with."
Mr. H. S. A. Stewart, the owner of the
farm in question, was in City Hall yester
day. He says all he wants is to get his
farm back again, and to that end he asked
Mr. W. A. Magee to present a joint resolu
tion in Councils declaring the deal off. As
Common Council had already adjourned
that could not be done, but action will be
taken at the regular meeting of Councils on
Monday next wbich will release the prop
erty from its present peculiar position. The
city has an option on it, bnt can't buy, and
Mr. Stewart cannot sell until the option is
declared off. Mr. Stewart is not particular
ly disappointed, but says he will have no
trouble in disposing ol the property for
more than it was offered to the city.
A NEW SITE SUGGESTED.
Mayor Gourley's statement, published in
Sunday's Dispatch, that 20 acres were suf
ficient for poor farm purposes has excited
much comment, opinion being about equal
ly divided on this point. His Honor was
yesterday considering a suggestion made to
him that the farm should be located in the
Twenty-second ward. The points made
were that the difference between the price of
the Stewart larui. $108,000, and 20 acres in
the Twenty-second ward would be about
$150,000, the income on the difference
saved being about $7,000 a year; that
the location is the geographical center of
the city and in time will be the center
oi populatiion; that the much-needed mu
nicipal hospital could be located on the
same properly, thus relieving the Poor Farm
proper of many cases now sheltered within
its walls; that the cust of transportation
would be greatly lessened, and that the sav
ing before mentioned would go largely
toward defraying the expenses of that hos
pital. His Honor, in referring to the suggestion,
said: "Many persons agree with me in
thinking that 1G or 20 acres would be ample
for a poor farm location. Internal Revenue
Collector Warmcastle and Dr. Evans, both
members of Councils, have personally in
dorsed my views, and I believe a majority
ot Councils leel the same way. I hold that
a person who is healthy enough to work on
the Poor Farm, where they receive nothing
but their board ana clothing, had better be
employed on a (arm, where they would re
ceive wages in addition. If they are able to
work they are able to support themselves,
and should not be a burden on the taxpayers.
THE MAYOR'S POTATO CBOP.
"I do not think there is much money in
tanning," continued the Mayor; '"at least
that has been my experience. When I had
a farm I was selling potatoes for 06 cents a
bushel that cost me $L My opinion is that
the Poor Farm should consist perhaps of a
kitchen garden and nicely ornamented
grounds. As to locating the farm in the
Twenty-second ward, that is a matter to
which I must give further consideration be
fore I am prepared to pass an opinion. Oi
course, the location is a good one, and when
there is a bridge connection with the South
side, as there must be shortly, will be very
central. It will be a long time, too, before
the Twenty-second ward is built up; per
haps longer tban some ot the places where
Poor Farm sites were offered.
"The idea of connecting the Poor Farm
with a municipal hospital is also a matter
for serious consideration. "We need such an
institution and have needed it badly (or
years. There is hardly a day parses but
sick and destitute persons appeal to me for
assistance. There is no place for me to send
them. Mr. Elliot takes many of them, al
though they are really not proper subjects
for the Poor Farm, but there is no other in
stitution which will admit them. The hos
pitals refuse to accept some classes ot
chronic and contagious diseases, and in that
they are perfectly right I thins;, however,
that a municipal' hospital should be located
nearer to the business center or the city."
Chief Elliot, of the Department or Public
Charities, was met outside the door ot the
Mayor's office and asked what he thought
about His Honor's suggestion that 20 acres
were sufficient for a Poor Farm.
THEY BOSS THE FAEST.
"Why, my dear boy," he replied, "people
don't seem to understand the subject
thoroughly. The city can purchase a Poor
Farm, adopt plans and make contracts ior
the erection o: the buildings, but that doesn't
settle the matter by any means. The State
Boards of Charities and Lunacy must he
consulted, and the location and plans must
meet with their approval belore any definite
action can be taken. I am an officer ot the
city, but my actions are closely scrutinized
by these boards, and it any conduct of
affairs did not meet with their approval
there would be trouble rieht away. How
ever, my relations with the gentlemen com
posing the commission have been very
pleasant, and it is only a short time since
tney inlormed me that they did not see how
I succeeded in keeping the Poor Farm up
to its present standard and iurnishing so
much outdoor relief upon the appropriation
I receive.
"The city can make all the arrangements
it pleases, but unless these boards are satis
fied they will not go. If I want to build a
little addition to the farm buildings, such as
putting in a new ward, etc, I must first
submit plans to the commission and receive
their permission before I proceed. The
State Board of Lunacy insists that all luna
tics shall receive proper exercise, and if
they are able-bodied, that they shall be
employed in the open air as much as
possible. These regulations must be com
plied with, as the power of the board is
autocratic I make regular reports to the
city as to the number of inmates at tne Poor
Farm, the money expended, etc, but that is
nothing to the details I have to furnish the
State hoards. "Why, if a piece of plaster a
foot square was to fall out of a wall I have
to mention it in my report.
WAEDS OF THE STATE.
"We must have the authority ot the State
boards before we can erect a new Poor Farm.
Some time ago Councilman Benz had the
contract lor building an addition to the St.
Franciscus Hospital. Before he conld pro
ceed with the work he had to take his plans
to Philadelphia and have them approved.
"While the city has to pay for the support of
its paupers and lunatics, these people are
the' wards of the State, and the State looks
closely after their welfare."
Mr. W. C. McCarthy, who was formerly
Superintendent of tho Poor Farm, thinks
that a good-sized farm is necessary to fur
nish the required exercise and employment
tor tbe inmates.
Controller Morrow says he doesn't know
the difference between oats and buckwheat,
and for that reason he would' not care to
make a campaign among the f rangers or to
give an opinion on farming. The 20-acre
suggestion seems to offer some benefits, and
he docs not know but that the Twenty-second
ward would be a good location, but there is
one thing the Controller is positive about,
and that is that the city needs a hospital,
and needs it badly. For its location the
Controller suggests Gazzam Hill, where the
city owns some property bought in at
Sheriff's sale for tixes, or possibly the old
Passavant Hospital, just off Center avenue.
The Controller says if it is determined to
locate the Poor Farm in the city, 'and to
connect a municipal hospital with it, that
possibly there might be enough room on
Gazzam Hill.
A CITY HOSPITAL NEEDED.
Inspector McAleese was asked what he
knew about poor larms and municipal hos
pitals. The Inspector didn't know any
thing about poor farms, but was positive
that a municipal hospital was an immediate
necessity. He said: "Only a day or two ago
we took a man off the street and placed him
in the Central station. The man was suffer
ing from a contagious disease, and the Cen
tral station, with its 40 or SO prisoners, was
no place for him, but we could not let him
die in the street exposed to the rain. The
hospitals would not take him, and he was
finally sent to the Poor Farm. This is only
a.single instance; these cases occur almost
daily.
Councils passed a supplement to the Poor
Farm ordinance yesterday' providing that
the money received from the sale of the old
farm shall be applied to the purchase oi a
ntw location. This overcomes the objec
tion raised that there were no funds for mak
ing the purchase, a wilhodt this supple
ment the money received from the sale
would be turneu into the sinking fund.
BETEATED BY HIS FATHER
Grant Gcltfrr Arretted for Robbing; nil

Detectives Coulson and Fitzgerald yesterday
afternoon arrested Grant Geiger. a tailor, 25
years of age. charged with stealing a lot of

AGAINST ASSISTED EMIGRANTS.
Chief Elliot Will ainko n Fight Against
Eiif Iioli Paa peri.
Chief Elliot, of the Department of Charities,
will enter suit against John Crowley for bring
ing a pauper into America. Tbe case will be a
test one, and, if successful, a number of other
suits will follow. Margaret Crowley, aged 61
years, was brought to America from an alms
house in Middleborougb, Yorkshire, JSngland.
by her son, John Crowley, a -puddlcr in the
National Tnbe Works at McKeesport. She ar
rived in Philadelphia on May 15. Shortly after
hereon turned her out, and after living at a
number of places she applied at the Depart
ment of Charities and was sent to the Poor
Farm on August 20. Her case was investigated
in the meantime, and It was found she was a
pauper, and that her transportation ticket gave
her age as 50 years.
Last night Mrs. Crowley was returned to
Philadelpuia, and from there she will be sent1
back to Englai.d. Chief Elliot says too many
paupers are being brought here. Fifteen sim
ilar cases have been turned up at the depart
ment during tbe past year. Chief Elliot will
enter suit aeainstJotm Crowley under tbe act
of 1836, which imposes a fine of $75 and tbe cost
of transportation for each pauper brought into
America.
JUMPED OFF THE BLUFF.
Ex-Comtable Clare TnUes a Drop of ISO
Feet, bnt Still Lives.
Patrick Clare was found last night by Officer
Roach lying on second avenue, near Tenth

had apparently fallen. He was badly cut about
tne head, and was unconscious when discovered-Clare
is about 53 years old. He was formerly
a blower at tbe Fort Pitt Glass Works, and
later constable for Alderman Richards. Some
time since his mind became affected, and be
was sent to Dixmont, but was released abont
two weeks ago. His friends stated last night
ttat Clare had jumped off a bridge since he was
released, and that they would take stops to
have him returned to Dixmont. When Clare
recovered consciousness he said be remem
bered waltinc up the steps on tbe face of tbe
bluff, bnt did not know how he came to be
lound 150 feet below.

At 4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon .pretty
Charlie Hardlck sat upon an empty benzine
barrel in Kvans alley, Allegheny. He was only
10 years old and the wind played gently through

match and dropped it in the bung bole. In an
instant Charlie, surrounded by an atmosphere
of barrel staves and splinters, darkened the

To Witness the Mammoth Parade of
German Catholic Societies.

Over 12,000 Uniformed lien and Boyg in

ELOQUENCE AND 0EAT0EI IN THE RINK
There was a time in the history of Pitts
burg when the streets conld hold a gala day
crowd, but that time has evidently passed.
The crowds out last' night completely
jammed all the main ayenues of travel in
the lower part of the city, and for a time it
was impossible to move one way or the other.
People were held on Sixth street between
Penn avenne and Liberty street for fully
half an hour, it being impossible to move
backward or forward. The crowd pushed,
jostled, swayed and surged, -while "trying to
move, but it was impossible to get out of it
Thousands of men, women' with Ijabes in
their arms, and children 'were packed
'within the inclosureof the street and tried
to elbow their way out of the suffocating
mass. Toes were tramped upon and dresses
torn, but the crowd took the squeezing good
humoredly, and, as far a&known, there were
no heads, broken.
Judging from the Crowe's on the streets
last night there must be thousands of
strangers in tbe city to attend the German
Catholic Congress. All the railroads ran
special trains yesterday, especially tbe
"Western roads, over which the majority of
delegates came. A special excursion train
was run from Indiana and a great many
people came in on it from different points in
Kentucky.
TIIE JAM AT NIGHT.
The crowds were not so noticeable on the
streets during the day, but in the evening
they took possession of the city. Not only
one street or two streets were jammed with
people, but every one was packed. There
were a few accidents, but none of any im
portance. The delegates to the Congress began ar
riving early and at once sought their hotels.
The majority of the visiting clergy aie at
the Schlosser, but a great many are staving
with friends. The bishops have made tbe Holy
Ghost College their headquarters, and the lay
delegates are scattered everywhere
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon a business meet
ing to complete the arrangements was held by
the priests at tbe Schlosser, and the final, ar
rangements completed for to-day's work.
The uarade last ninht was successful beyond
all expectations. Every German Catholic con
gregation of the two cities made a big turnout,
and many of the congregations from tbe sur
rounding towns were in line. The procession
occupied an hour and 15 minutes in passing a
given point, exclusive of 125 carriages, and
fully 12,000 men were in line. It formed on
Smithncld and Water streets and moved along
Smlthfield street, up Fourth avenue, along
Grant street to Fifth avenue, to Wood street,
to Liberty avenue, to Fourteenth street, to
Penn avenue, to Sixth street, passed in review
at tbe Central Kink on Penn avenue and were
dismissed.
i At the corner of Fifth avenue and Grant
street a stand was erected in front of St. Paul's
Cathedral, and the parad was reviewed by a
large number of priests. Along the whole line
of march red fire was burned and decorations
exhibited. At St. Philomena's Church, Four
teenth street, when the parade passed tbe en
tire church was lighted up and a brilliant dis
play of lights made from the church spire.
NEAT AND TASTY UNIFORMS.
Nearly all of tbe organizations had some sort
of a uniform, and the majority of them
marched well. The Chief Marshal and his staff
of 60 mounted aides wore silk hats and rosettes
and made a neat appearance. A striking ap
pearance was made by the Knights of St.
George closely following, 'whose bright uni
forms topped with red plnmes and glittering
swords made a brilliant display. Ten Ameri
can flags were displayed in their columns. The
members of St. 7tlichel's congregation were
headed by ax-men with red shirts and White
leggings who were closely followed by St.
Michael's Conference ana Sodality wearing
white shirts and blue caps and carrying,white
lanterns. An imitation ship on a wagon gayly
decorated and loaded with boy, representing
all tbe states, accompanied the congregation.
The ship had been christened "Santa Maria."
The St. Michael's mannerchor also followed In
a wagon. Banners bearing the inscriptions in
German, "For Church and Fatherland" and
"Liberty of the School,'" wero'carried.
The Lawrencevil!e sub-division beaded by
the congregation of St. Augustine's, though
near the end, contained the most taking body
in the line. It was the St. Augustine cadets,
composed of boys In cavalier costume. One
half of the little fellows was clad in red and
the other half in black, and they carried minia
ture guns in true military style. They were
cheered through tbe whole parade. One
noticeable feature of tbe procession for one of
its kind was the great number of American
flags carried and tbe total absence of German
and other foreign flags.

'When the parade reached the Grand Cen
tral Hink the thousands of marchers passed
into the old building, which is a mass of dec
orations, and passed in review before the
stage. The men marched np tbe right aisle
and, after crossiug in front of the stage,
passed down tbe left and middle aisles and
took seats to hear the flow of German ora
tory and eloquence. It was nearly 11 o'clock
when tho audience was seated, and Iter. Joseph
Suhr. pastor of SS. Peter and Paul Church,
becan his address of welcome. He said:
'As I viewed the parade to-night and saw it.
eass in ail its spienanr in tne rront oi the
atbedral my heart.and I f eel sure tbe heart of
every priest, bounded with delight. What a
fine set of men; what a grand appearance made
cur hoys in tbe uniforms, ana what a grand
proof this -sight afforded to tbe fact that we
are all bound in tbe unity of tho all-glorious
Roman Catholic Church. We are Catholics;
we are loyal citizens, and wo stick to tbe colors
of our Lord Jesus Christ. We are as the de
fenders ot our faith, a faith for which wo
fight with our life's blood even unto death.
"As you are aware, there is a serpent just now
abroad iu this country which is imbned with a
false love for the land of Its nativity. This
serpent goes around and points its false tongue
at everything that is foreign, at everybody that
is not born in this country. But we must crush
this serpent. Not with the weapons of blood
and destruction. No, we must right it at the
polls. They who do not lore the land in which
their fathers were born cannot love the land in
which they are born themselves.
"Now. as to Pittsburg. We all know there Is
lots of dust, and dirt and smoke here, but let
me assure yon all who have come here that
beneath the sooty exterior beat hearts as white
as snow, and while the water of our Monon
gahela is muddy, there are lots of places near
It. where they brew a drink that is good enough
for anybody. Continued cheering.
Rev. Father Meissner. of Pern, Ind., made a
brilliant response to the first speaker.
DISTINGUISHED MEN HERB.
Dr. Ernest Lteber, the Center Leader In the
Belchstngr, Present.
Among the distinguished men who are in at
tendance at tbe German Catholic Conercss is
Dr. Ernest Lleber, of Camburg, Germany, the
leader of the Center, or Catholic party in the
Reichstag. He succeeded the celebrated Dr.
Windhorst, who retired from politics in 18S8 on
account of his old age. His party always op
posed Prince Bismarck, and was instrumental
in securing the old cbaucelloi's retirement.
Dr. Lteber is at the Scblosser. but
hj declined to see reporters until
to-day. This Is the way thev
do business In Germany and Is his right, but it
is not in accordance with American newspaper
enternrise. The ;Doctor claimed that he was
too busy receiving friends. Ho will make a
speech at the Congress to-morrow.
Two years ago be was In Pittsburg, when ho
was not so wcl known. He has a sister in a
convent in New York, and ho spent several
days with her before he came to Pittsburg.
His visit to America at this time is to attend
tbe congress.
There are also three Bishops In tbe city at
tending the congress Bishop Hald. the Vicar
General of North Carolina, Bishop Janssen, of
Illinois, and Bishop Rademccher, of Nashville.
Tbe Bishops are being entertained at the Holy
Ghost Collego and at St. Mary's Convent in Al
legheny. OK THE SOUTHSIDE.
Tbe Boroughs on tbe Top ot the Hills
Almost Drpopnlnted.
The parade on the Sonthside, which is tbe
stronghold of the German Catholics of tbe city,
was the largest ever witnessed in that section.
Tbe decorations on St, Michael's Cbnrch were
strikingly attractive. Suspended from the
spire of the edifice were hundreds of Japanese
lanterns, etc. At 7 o'clock tbe societies
from Brownstown formed on Carson street
between Twentieth and Thirtieth and
marched down the former street.
Much enthusiasm was displayed as the long
column moved with measured steps. On both
sides af the street from the head to the rear of
the parade, red fire was bnrned, which added
to the brilliancy of the thoroughfare. The
parade was retarded several times by the al
most impenetrable mass of people who turned
out to witness the grand demonstration. It
can be safely said that tbe boroughs of Allen
town and Beltzhoover ere depopulated. All
tbe residents came down to see the parade, and
such a jam. Police Inspector McKelyy said, he
never before had to contend with. The crowd
was so large that it was deemed best to Keep
the day police on duty, but this additional re
inforcement was unable to cope with the surg
ing crowd.
AMERICA AHEAD AGADT.
The Stars and Stripes First, Other Emblems
to Follow.
An incident occurred last night that was a
parallel to one on Labor Day. A man named
Snyder, living on Troy Hill, decorated his
houso with bu ntlng and flags, but flnng the Ger
man emblem to the breeze above the Stars and
Stripes, giving the flag of his nativity the pref
erence in position in the decorations.
This did not remain long until the eye of
American mechanics living In the neighbor
hood was caught by tbe scene, and a request
was made that the order of things be reversed.
There was some parley, but at last Mr. Snyder
acceded to the demands of his neighbors, and
the American flag was raised on hicb, amid tbe
cheers of a small crowd who witnessed the
affair.

Drunkards or Thieves.
IMPORTANT W0K OP CITY COUNCILS
.Both branches of conncils held a special
meeting yesterday to dispose of. a mass of
unfinished business, and the wheels of leg
islation hammed right merrily.
In the Select branch the report of the
Department of Pnblie Safety was taken np,
which consisted of ordinances relating to
pawnbrokers, snd for the purchase of garb
age furnace sites in the Sixteenth and
Twenty-first wards.
The first ordinance provides that any per
son in the pawnbroking business must ob
tain from tbe Department of Public Safety
a license which must state tbe house in
which such business is to be carried on and
shall continue in force tor one year (unless
sooner revoked), for which the city will col
lect 5200. No pawnbroker shall by virtue
of one Ifcense keep more than one place for
receiving goods in pawn, nor shall he at
any time take goods in pawn in any other
place than that mentioned in bis license.
Each pawnbroker cannot keep a record of
all the facts connected with the pledgingsof
articles and must report before noon of each
day to the Police Department all articles
pledged with them the day preceding. No
goods are to be received between 8 P. If. and
6 a. if. from Aprill to November 1, and
between 7 P. 31. and 7 a. 31. from November
I and April 1. All goods must be kept for
three months after the expiration of the
period for which they are pledged. Pawn
brokers are prohibited from taking any
article in pawn or purchase from any person
under 21 years of age, or any Intoxicated
person, or an habitual drunkard, or any
person known to be a thief, an associate of
thieves, or a receiver of stolen property, or
any person whom he has reason to suspect
or believe to be such. The fact of so loan
ing money to such persons shall he prima
facia evidence of the violation of this ordi
nance. .
TO GUAKD AGAIKST ROBBERY.
No pawnbroker shall knowingly receive
from any apprentice or servant anything
offered by them in pawn without first ascer
taining that said nrticle is tbe property of
the person pawning it.
Section 10 provides a penalty of (100 for
each violation of this ordinance, and section
II authorizes tbe Chief of tbe Department of
Public Safety to revoke the license of any
pawnbroker who shall violate the provisions of
tbe ordinance, be convicted of receiving stolen
goods or become a person of bad moral charac
ter. Section 12 provides a penalty of $200 for
the attempt to carry on tbe pawnbroking busi
ness withoui license or after license has been
revoked.
As soon as the clerk finished reading the
ordinance Mr. Keating took tbe floor in oppo
sition to it. He thought the ordinance wa3 too
broad for a city law, and did not think Councils
had the powor to enforce it There was no
doubt but that such laws were necessary for
some men m the pawnbroking business, but he
knew men in that business who were of good
characterand did not believe In curtailing their
liberties by the police espionage provided for
in this ordinance. It was gotnz too far, 3fr.
Keating tnoucht,to compel a man In the pawn
broking business to keep his books according
to the ideas of the Chief of Public Safety and
open to whomsoever the Chief might wish to
look at them. The Czar of Russia could not
have ever made a law much broader or more
stringent than this. The clause relating to
habitual drunkards and that referring to prima
facia evidence were especially condemned by
Mr. Keating. He was not sure that the ordi
nance as it stood was legal, not being a law
yer, and if he was, he would probably ask a fee
for ui opinion.
Mr. Lamble replied to Mr. Heating's remarks.
As a lawyer he had no hesitation in pronouncing
every provision ot tne Dill perfectly legal, and
as a citizen he had even less hesitation In pro
nouncing it an absolute necessity. He knew as
well as almost any member present that there
were men engaged in tbe pawnbroking business
in Pittsburg who were reputable citizens, and
whom no one could attack in the Council
Chambers, bnt there were many others wbo
were far from reputable and to whom this ordi
nance was not only wholly applicable, but
really necessary. He felt sure that the honest,
reputable men in the businoss would have no
serious objection to any provision of the ordi
nance, but the other class, whose business was
not what it should be. would be bitterly op
posed to it without a doubt.
Chief Brown had, after several years expe
rience and careful consultation with his ex
perienced officers, decided that this ordinance
was necessary for the proper regulation of tbe
pawnbrokers. He had consulted tbe laws of
other cities and found that in most of tbem
the restrictions were much more severe than
this ordinance provided, and that In every city
there was a law of some kind applicable to the
pawnbroking business, such as this city did not
have. As to tbe legality of the ordinance an
act of the Legislature of 1879. which covered
the question, authorized cities of tbe second
class to provide such restrictions to the busi
ness as they deemed proper. As to tbe system
of books provided for, Mr. Lambie thought
there was nothing unreasonable in It, The
broker was to simply keep a record of the pur
chases or loans made by him and fill ont tbe
blanks furnished by the police department. If
be desired to keep other books for his business
they would be as private as they are now.
AND THEN IT PASSED.
Mr. Keating made a motion to postpone,
which failed, and he then offered several
amendments. Finally he said be opposed the
ordinance because it did not seem,IIke equity,
he did not favor stigmatizing a legalized bus
ness and as he professed toknownothing what
ever about the business he wonld like more
time to consider it. He offered another amend
ment which was defeated by a vote of 22 to 7on
the calling of the yeas and nays, those voting
in too negative ucin juessrs. ritzsimmons,
Foster, Frauenlieim, Gillespie, Keating, Mc
Cord and Warmcastle.
On tbe final passage of the ordinance it was
finally passed by a vote of 23 to 0, Warmcastle
changing to the other side.
The ordinance authorizing the purchase of
garbage furnace property in Negley's Run
valley was passed.
Tbe report of the Viewers on the Halgbt's
run sowor was approved. A protest was read
from the late Alexander King against the re
port and it was received and filed.
Common Council wis in session but a few
minutes. Tbe general ordinance relating to
light, heat and power companies, passed some
time ago by Select Councils, was passed finally.
A communication was read from Chief BIge
low relative to bis visit to Mrs. Uchenley and
receiving an option on 19 acres of ground f or a
park entrance for $73,000, was read and re
ceived. VISITORS TO PITT.BDBG EXPOSITION

Last'year it cost us upward of 2,000 to

have been kept so terribly busy this sum
mer, however, in .selling onr pianos and
organs, and banjos and mandolins, and
guitars and brass boms and sheet music,
that we actually found no time to get up an
exhibit for this year's show. However, we
propose to give onr customers tbe benefit of
this great saving, so that anyone who will
buy a piano or organ, or any other inttru
ment, dnring the continnence of the fair,
will get the benefit of an extra reduction in
price of goods of 5 and 10 per cent. Visitors'
to the show can therefore make some $50 by

famous Steinway, Conover, Gnbler, Opera

IN THE PENf, BANK CASE.
Exception F.Ied Te-terdny by Attorner D.
T. Watson He Alleges That tho BIn.ter
Erred In Numerous 1'Iaces In Ills Find
loss What Is Claimed.
D. T. Watson, Esq., yesterday filed in
court exceptions to the finding of the master
in the Ponn Bank case. Tbe exceptions are
on the part of Thomas Hare, Philip Eey
zner, James Eardman, A. A. Hutchinson,
J.O.Brown. F. " Laughlin, S. Severance.
ATlT. Cavitt, George C. Davis and T. B.
Swearingen, of the defendants. It was
claimed that the master erred in not finding
and reporting that the decree in the case of
Warner, assignee of tbe bank, against Hare
and others was a bar to any relief under the
present bill for the alleged negligence of the
defendants. He also erred in rinding, notwith
standing tbe provisions of tbe charter, that tbe
directors would be liable for losses suffered bv
the bank by reason ot their negligence, and in
not finding that under the charter tbe directors
were not liable even If losses bad happened to
tbe bank caused by their neglect or want of or
dinary care.
He also erred, it was stated, in finding that
the assets on April 28. 1884. amounted to nearly
31,300,000, He should have added certificates
of the United Pips Lines for oil aggregating
400,000 to 500.000 barrels at a market value of
Xrotu SI to $1 15 per barrel, and that W. N.
Riddle, either by himself or with the assistance
.of others, unlawfully and without tbe knowl
edge of tbe directors, abstracted the certificates
and converted them to his own use.
Itis claimed the master also erred in finding
that the fictitious accounts of Hill & Co., V.
Wilson & Co. and Watson Co. represented
transactions aggregating over 5,000.000 from
Fooruary, 1833, and he should have found that
tbe fictitious account represented part of tbe
losses of tbe Riddle oil syndicate, for money
abstracted from tbe bank.
THE BTHLDIUG TBADES MEAN IT.
They Will Support the Pointers Against tho
Knlshts of Lnbor Men.
Tbe policy of tbe Brotherhood ot Painters
was carried Into effect yesterday, and in one
shop members ot this body refused to work
with Knlgbts of Labor painters. This was in
the shop of R. C. Miller, on Sixth avenue.
Any doubt as to whether this fight against
the Knights of Labor would be prosecuted in
reality were cleared up yesterday. It was as
certained that at the meeting of the Building
Trades' Council on Saturday night a resolution
was put and carried pledging the trades repre
sented, excepting the bricklayers, wbo remain
neutral, to support the painters in their action.
This was agreed to unanimously, and as a re
sult the carpenters, tinners, marble cutters,
electricians and other building tradesmen will
refuse, when called.upon. to work with Knights
of Labor painters.
When called upon has a certain amount of
significance. The war will not be waged against
the order all at once, but one shop will be taken
at a time and operated against until the Knights
have deserted it. This is the reason wby more
sbops were not ldleyesterday. Tbe feeling in
the council on Saturday was so pronounced in
favor of this action that a resolution was
actually introduced pledging the painters
financial support. It was withdrawn at tbe re
quest of the painters' delegate, who said they
didn't require any.
The pUin English of the matter is that a
stubborn and probably long drawn-out war is
to be waged against the Knights painters. The
Building Trades Council have decided it shall
be so, and as they are the stronger, they will
probably win. Master Workman Evans claims
to know that the plasterers, caroenters and
stonemasons will not support the movement by
tbe painters. In this he is mistaken. It is un
derstood that the action by the painters is not
tn be confined to Pittsburg. When headway is
obtained here, similar actions will be extended
tbrougbont Western Pennsylvania and thence
through the West.
Freight Agents Meet.
The Pittsburg Committee of Freight Agents

The World's Pair Commissioners How
Working Well Together.
A DUAL SITE DECIDED UP0K.
Located at Washington and Jackson Parks
and tbe Lake Front.
MB. ABEL'S TALK ON THE PROSPECTS
Mr. Charles Abel has just returned from
Chicago; where he went some time ago on
business connected with the World's Fair
Commission. He has been attending most
of the public meetings of the commission,
which are being held in the Conncil
Chamber at Chicago. Mr. Abel has been
in South America, and only recently
returned to this country. He has been
frequently informed that on account of the
delay in choosing a site there wonld be no
World's Fair. There is no doubt but that
the! long, delay in choosing the site has
injured the prospects of the fair, bat, he
says, since it is now settled upon, it has
made a vast difference In the sentiment of
the country. In conversation with a
Dispatch reporter yesterday, Mr. Abel
said:
"I have unbounded faith in tbe success
of the Exposition. Neither the "United
States nor the city of Chicago conld afford
to let it he a failure. The repatation of the
nation and the city would not permit It.
"There has never been a body congregated
together in tbe country so unprejudiced and
working together so well for the success of one
object as this World's Fair Commission. Every
State seems to have sent some of her best citi
zens to represent her on this commission.
General Palmer, of Michigan. President and
Chairman of the Executive Committtee. has
shown himself equal to the occasion by bis
uniform courtesy in bis rulings. Being our
late Minister to Spain, and considering the
connection of that conntry with the cummg
exposition, it seems fitting and right that he
should be at the head of the World's Colum
bian Fair Cnminkston. He Is ably assisted by
all tbe Commissioner", who have shown them
selves free from partisanship, knowing neither
Democrat nor Republican, nn Kortb, South.
Eist or West, and all are working unselfishly
for the one object of making this one of tbe
grandest expositions the world has ever seen.
"On Saturday last Mr. Martindale, of Indi
ana, again opened tbe question with apowerful
argument for a single site. He was followed
by General Palmer who gave, in a few words,
the real meaning of a dual site. It was simply
the entrance to the fair to be on the Lake
Front, and the fair proper will be at Washing
ton and Jackson Parks. The reason why tbe
Lake Front was chosen wa only to erect two
permanent buildings, one for an exhibition of
11 tie arts and tbe other for an electrical display.
Ex-Governor Waller, of Connecticut, followed,
and made tbe matter clear as to tbe dual site.
It was simply tbe way It Hat put before tbe peo
ple that gave out tbe wrong idea. He and most
of tbe Commissioners preferred a single site,
but It would be wrong to put them all at sea
again bv the discussion of a settled question.
"It was a great disappointment to Pennsyl
vanians that General Hastings was not elected
to fill tbe position of Director General. But the
most of the commission a well as tbe local di
rectors preferred General Davis, of Cbicaco.
Tbe local directors, naturally, out of State
pride, wanted to see a Chicago man In the posl-

Major McDowell Thinks He Will Win Even
Aealn.t an Independent.
The Americus Club contingent left for tho
& naker City last evening to attend the Repub

about 30 in tbe party. Among those who fol
lowed on a later train were Major .McDowell,
the HepnbUcan nominee for Congress from.
Sharon; Dr. Charles A. Keed, New Castle; a
B. McConnell, Sharpsvilte; S. L McCracken,
New Castle, and R. 8. Loyton.
Major McDowell stated that tbe courts had
finally disposed of tbe bribery charges, and
the decision shonld settle all doubt Some of
tbose dissatisfied with the nomination par
ticularly from Butler, will meet at Harmony
to-day to nominate an Indeoendent Itepnb.
Hcan candidate. The Major "thought that T
W. Phillips, of New Castle, would be the man!
He doesn't believe it would be good politics
lor Air. Phillips to accept In tbe long run, 11 he '
expects political preferment In his district..
Mr. McDowell says the Republican, majority
In the district Is 7,000, and he figures that
he will be elected, even if Mr. Phillips Is a
candidate against bun. He said Mr. Phillips'
supporters are in-Butler county, but it remams
to he seen wbattlmo will bring forth.
Mr. Phillips was In Pittsburg yesterday. Ho
held a conference at the Duquesne with several
gentlemen, but was very non-committal. Ho
declined to say anything. Mr. McCracken
stated that the present complications In the)
district can be traced to Senator Quay's door,
and if a Democrat is elected it will be htt
fanlt.
The Democrats will meet shortly to nominate"
a candidate. S. L. Hoyt seems to have the
inside- track. He Is wealthy and capable ot
making a good fight.
