Political Destinies.
LIST OF VOTERS IN THE CODKTT.
Eeniarkable Fallinj Off in SeTeral Wards
in Pittsburg and Allegheny
Citj, but
A GAIN IN THE C0UXTRT DISTKICTS.
LitUt Interest b Felices Givm &s tit Reason for the
For weeks past Mr.WVW. Murray, of the
County Commissioners' office, has had bis
righteous soul vexed by both registry asses
sors and reporters, the former getting in
their returns in a dribbling way and the
latter bustling to get the list, some of them
wanting to approximate the figures, which
proposition roused Mr. Murray's wrath.
Yesterday the last of the assessors came in
under the wire except those of two precincts.
They are those of the first dictricts of the
Twenty-first ward of this city and of the
Twelfth ward of Allegheny. It is said legal
complications may result,and the voters may
be required to do more swearing than they
might otherwise do over an election day.
The registry shows considerable apathy on
the part of voters, or else a considerable
hegira from some districts in the city. It is
supposed there are a considerable number of
voters who are not caring much lor their
votes this year. There are some features
worthy of note.
LOSSES ASD OAIKS.
Bellevue neither gains nor loses. The
list has declined in the Fourth, Fifth,
2Cinth, Tenth and Twelfth wards Pittsburg,
and the Eighth ward, Aliegheny. while there
is a large gain iu the Sixth of Pittsburg.
The list declines also in the Twenty-fourth,
Twenty-sixth, Twenty-eighth, Thirtieth,
Thirty-third and Thirty-fourth wards of this
city. That in the Thirty-third ward is ex
plained by the evictions of the iron workers.
There is a gain of one in the Twentieth
ward. Elizabeth and Millvale boroughs
fell off. In the Jtownships, Alleppo,
Bethel, Lincoln, Pine, Crescent, Shaler,
East Deer, Springdale, Sewickley, Scott
and Stowe declined in their voting assess
ments. Pawn and Wilkins each lost one.
Braddock borough cained four, and "West
Deer township added 23 to its list
It will be seen, however, by an examina
tion and comparison of tables and totals
that, notwithstanding the hegira to "Wil
merding, Jeannette and other places, and
the general political apathy this year, Pitts
burg is holding its own and gaining, as
also the boroughs and townships. Just
why Allegheny City firemen should be so
indifferent ma- appear further along.

COMING TO PITTSBURG.
Part ol tie Tim of tbe Pimburc. Sbenanco
nnd Lake Erie Itond Figuring a Rome
From Butler Another ltoad to tho
La hen.
Colonel Samuel Dick and A. T. Huide
koper, of Meadville, and J. F. Blair, of
Greenville, the men who deserve the credit
for reorganizing thePittsburg.Shcnangoand
Lake Erie road, arrived in tbe city last even
ing and stopped at tho Duqupsne Club. Mr.
Blair said they bad 200 men at work grading
tbe tracks, and tbey would commence to lay
the rails next week. He denied most emphat
ically the statement that the Baltimore and
Ohio had secured control of the road, and
would make it part of a short route from
Pittsburg to Buffalo. The road will bo operated
separately by the company that now owns it.
The facts in the caso are these: Sixty miles
of tbe road have been built, and this much is
being operated between Butler and .Osgood,
The line will be extended to Conneaut on the
lake. 47 miles more, uhere it will connect with
the Nickel Plate. Rnnning arrangements
have already been made with tbe latter road,
and in this wav Buffalo and Rochester will be
reached. Docks and other freight facilities
for handling ore have been purchased at Con
neaut, and Pittsburg iron men will find another
road to the lakes in tho field next spring com
peting for their business.
The company is now Rearing on a route
from Butler to this city wuh the view of ex
tending tho line here. Mr. Blair's plan is to
bridze the Ohio river near Ban Mill run, buy
up the Little Saw Mill Run road, which is tor
sale, and by means of a tunnel through the
hill reach the Soutbside mills. It wouldn't be
a difficult matter, once this was Gone, to use
the Monongabela Connecting road, a
private line, to get on this side of tho
river. It would practically be a belt line, and
would be much appreciated by Pittsburg ship
per. There is plenty of money back of tho
road, and tbe company is determined to push
its lino into this city.
PILING UP JUDGMENTS.
The Iron City Bridte Company Got Into
Olivers for n Good Deal An Attempt to
Find President ."chnltznnd Get n State
ment Fall.
As stated in The Dispatch yesterday,
the Iron City Bridge Company, at Chartiers,
is in financial straits. The Oliver Iron and
Steel Company has issued an execution
against C. J. Schultz, President of the com
pany, for 183,351. Tbe execution was
issued on a confessed judgment given to
secure payment of notes amounting to $91,
C75. There were 27 notes for various sums
running to September 19, 1890, and January
il, 1S91, inclusive. Execution attachments were
issued directed to tbe American .Bridge Manu
facturing Association, Ohio Connecting Rail
road Company. Union Storage Company, Pitts
burg and Western Railroad Company, Balti
more and Ohio Railroad Companv, V. T.
Lindner, Pleasant Vallev Railway Company,
Swan & McAfee, tho Howard Plate Glass
Companv, Pennsylvania Company, and others
as garnishees.
An execution was also issued yesterday
against Schltz by Christina Strunz, executrix,
and Strunz & Sons, on a confessed judgment
for $20,000. The judgment was given to secure
a real debt of S10.000.
The company is one of the oldest in tbe
bridge business in this section of the conntry.
Its first big job was tho Ft. Wayne roard across
the A lleghcny at Eleventh street. An attempt
was made last evening to interview Mr. Schultz
and get a statement from him, but the gentle
man could not be found. His son stated in the
afternoon that he did not believe tbere was
anything in the report of the failure, printed
ye terday morning. Later developments showed
that tbe report was correct. It is not likely
that any other concerns will be affected by the
failure.
CAUGHT A COTTNTEEFEITEH,
Joseph Keener, n Sinn With a History, In
the Tot's.
Joseph Keener was arrested yesterday by
United States Detective McSweeney on a war
rant issned by Commissioner McCandless,
charging him with having counterfeit silver
dollars in his possession with intent to defraud.
Keener has had a rather vivid career. 8hortly
after the war ho was driving with a friend out
Center avenue, when he saw a colored man
whom be thought he had a mission to kill.
Keener shot at him. but being slightly intoxi
cated bis aim was unsteady, and he killed an
old man named McCabe. For this Keener re
ceived a 12-year sentence. He has also had
other difficulties with the authorities, which
has resulted in his imprisonment.
This is but the first of a number of arrests
which will follow of persons suspected of flood
ing this portion of the country with counter
feit dollars and half dollars. Many complaints
have been made recently by storekeepers who
have been victimized, many market men being
among the number.

An Interesting lllntrntive Ircmro Before

Western Pennsylvania, held last cveningin the
parlor of the Pittsburg Library, a very interest
ing paper entitled "Studies in tho Allegheny

hibited, including mosses from the Columbia
College Hrrhirium, and Hepatica collected by
L. M. Underwood, of Syracuse, N. Y.
The committee on tne incorporation of the

UNCLE SAM'S STEEL.
Secretary Tracy Has Requested Local
Makers to Confer With Him
AS TO WHATCHANGESCAN BEMADE
In Specifications and Manufacture of the
Material for the lards,
EDGAETflOilBONMENTO MEET TO-NIGHT
Carnegie, Phipps & Co. hava received a
letter from Secretary Tracy, requesting
them to send a representative to the confer
ence to be held between the Steel Board
and sleelmen in Washington, on the 8th of
October. The firm will probably comply
with the request.
The conference will take the form of a
discussion on the needs of the naval service,
and manufacturers will be asked to ex
change their views and offer suggestions
which may serve to enlighten the depart
ment and its officials somewhat as to the
conditions under whicli steel suitable for
their requirements is turned out An effort
will likely be made to Bhow the department
that it could economize, without sacrificing
strength or durability, by changing the
specifications of a good deal of tbe material
it uses. The work on Government orders
calls for greater labor and skill than is re
quired on contracts for private individuals,
and it is thought that if the Govern
ment requirements were reduced, material
could be supplied with greater facility,
hut still without lessening its effi
ciency. Tho quality of steel at present
demanded by the Government is made by but
two or mree firms, and so but a few individuals
have a finger in the Fe deral pie. If the Gov
ernment could be indu ced to use steel made by
omer processes the orders for its work would
be distributed over many more factories. The
Steel Board is erudite d with being opposed to
any change, and especially are antagonistic to
recognizinc tho Cla.tp-Unnlths process. An
effort, it is understood, will be made to demon
strate the equality of steel mado by this
process with that of the open-hearth article.
In relation to this, steel conference It is an in
teresting Tact to note that it cnmes about a week
after the bids for the three battleships and pro
tected 7,300-ton enwsor are to be opened. Secre
tary Tracy is known to be anxious to have these
ships finished dwiing his term of office. Tho
requirements now In voguo retard the rapid
delivery of material, and the conference may
result in so alier.ng the conditions as to admit
ol a quicker snpply.
AGITATING OBGANIZItfG.
Another Mectiuir of the Edgar Thomson Men

A Tonne Sinn Who Tjooked for Thieves
and Fonnd One.
Shortly before 10 o'clock last night the resi
dence of Mr. H. H. Smith, No. 158 Sheffield
street, Allegheny, was robbed. At tho time
mentioned Russell, the 19-year-old son ot Mr.
Smith, heard someone trying to open the back
door. Going to that part of the bouse, ho
found the door locked, and a domestic bad
taken the key away. The young man then went
outside, to the back part of the houso to inves
tigate He had hardly entered the yard, when ho re
ceived a stunning blow in tho face, that felled
him to the ground. The intruder then cooly
proceeded to riflo the young man's pockets,
taking his pocketbook. which contained f8. and
maae nis -rape. Jnc police wcro notincu
shortly after the affair occurred, but could find
no trace of the robber. Mr. Smith, the boy's
father, was quite indignant last night, and ex
pressed himself freely about poor police pro
tection. He stated that half a dozen attempts
had been niaac to rob his residence within the
past two months, and at no time could he find
a policeman. Officer Noble, who patrols the
beat, stated that ho was in that neighborhood
at 10 o'clock, and if there had been any outcry

The city organist of Allegheny does not

he is still "in it" At a meeting of Select
Council last evening the salary was reduced
to $600 instead of 51,200. Many of those
who voted to reduce the salary wanted to
abolish the postion altogether. The other
?600 will be made.up by private subscrip

DENOUNCEDTHE BILL.
The Concer Compound Lard Measure Not
Wanted by l'iitbure Retail Grocers
Resolutions of Protest Srnt to Prnn
sylvnuia ."cantors Their Reasons for II,
The Pittsburg Grocers' Association held
its regular semi-monthly meeting in its
Smithfield street room, last evening, and
business of importance was transacted, A
communication was read from J. T. Bur
gess, editor of the Xational Grocer, at New
York, and also a communication from P. F.
Smith, of the Pennsylvania Grocer, calling
the attention of the Pittsburg Associa
tion to the Conger lard bill, now pend
ing in Congress. Tbo communications
point out very plainly that the
bill presses harder upon tbe retail grocer
than upon the wholesale grocer, as will be seen
from section 7, the provisions of which are very
stringent, and renders the handling of com
pound lard practically impossible. The com
munication Baid: "As this bill is now before
tbe Senate committee no time should bo lost to
bring the matter before your association, and a
memorial presented to that committee request
ing postponement of legislation or amend
ments." The association immediately took tho
matter up and a committee of three was ap
pointed to draft resolutions expressing the sen-
timents of tho association. The resolution
read as follows:
"To the Hon. M. S. Quay and Bon Cameron, Sen
ators of Fennsylvaula:
"Whereas. We, the Merchants Retail Pro
tective Association of Pittsburg, have care
fully considered a bill now before your honor
able body, known as the Conger lard bill, which
has passed the House and is now before your
honorable body for consideration. We are in
entire sympathy with the principle that in
jurious adulteration should bo prohibited, and
that goods, which are not injurious, should be
sold lor what tbey are, so that consumers may
know what they aro getting. The Conger lard
bill, however, while purporting to bo founded
on the above principles, is unwise, for the fol
lowing reasons:
"Under the guise of legislating in the Interest
of health and honesty it is really legislating
against one food product in favor of another.
The restrictions are so complicated and onerons
that it would have the effect to prevent the use
of compound lard, because distributors will not
be bothered by a system or licenses, marking
of goods and exposing themselves to penalties
for unwittingly violating the laws; therefore,
"Resolved, That we, tho retail grocers of
Pittsburg, ask our honorable Senators to use
all fair means to defeat tbe said Conger lard
bill in its present obnoxious and unfair form."
The resolution was adopted, and will be sent
as instructed to-day.
CLOSED UP ONCE H0BE.
The Clipper Thrntcr's Business Not Enough
to Keep the flousr Open.
Tbe Clipper Theater had a deserted and woe
begone appearance last night, as the doors
were closed on account of poor business. This
was the explanation given by Manager Peet.
George Suu, of the company booked there this
week, says he was getting all the money taken
In, and tbe orchestra was not getting any sal
aries and refused to play. For this reason tho
show did not go on. Mr. Sun said:
"I booked for this house because I understood
it was a new ground-floor theater, but did not
know anything else about it. I would rather
keep my people here idle than to finish the
week and pay tho orchestra. So far I have not
taken in enough money to pay for billing the
town. While I how havo a good company, I
am iiuprovinzit. Next week Cyrene, who ex
hibited here last week, joins me. and I also get
four other good people. 1 show in the towns
around Pittsburg next week, and don-'t want
the idea to get out that we closed the house.
It was not our fault, but the orchestra refused
to play.

PKIESTS ENJOY A LITTLE LEVITY.
Original Songs Sung- and English and

CLOSE OP THE TEUTONIC C0KGEESS
The glory of the German Congress was
the banquet at the Schlosser yesterday after
noon. The feast began at 2 o'clock, with
the sunshine streaming through the
windows, and it ended at 6 o'clock in clouds
of thick tobacco smoke from numerous
finely flavored cigars that shut ont the light.
Previous to the gustatory performance' the
final meeting was held. The old officers
were re-elected and the same committees re
appointed. The work of the commit
tees is to ' select a place for hold
ing the next meeting and to decide
on the subjects to be discussed. Buffalo,
Louisville and St Louis are bidding for the
congress, but at this writing Buffalo seems
to have the inside track. At the close of
tbe banquet the congress adjourned and
many of the priests returned home last even
ing. THE CENTER OF INTEBEST.
The guest of honor and about the only lay
man invited was Dr. Lieber, theleaderof the
clerical party in tbe Reichstag. The Doc
tor will leave this morning for St. Paul,
where he will make a speech on Sun-'
day. Most of the interest in
the banquet centered around hip,
and the clergy vied with
each other to do him honor. Every man that
spoke made some allusion to him. and Father
Meisner, of Peru, 111., who is quite a poet,
wrote some verses inscribed to the Doctor,
which ho recited very gracefully. They were
written in Latin, but the rotuna pries t's man
ner of delivery was very comical and elicited
much laughter and applause. It abounded
with the words "Dr. Lieber, Lieber Doctor."
The same preacher wrote the words for a half
dozen songs that wero sung to familiar German
airs. They related to America, the Holy Father,
the success ot the Congress, the future of the
church and kindred subjects.
There was enough wine disposed of to make
the banquet spicy. The priests were there for
a good time; and had it. Little attention was
paid to the expression of opinion on. any sub
ject. SPEECH OF THE DAT.
Father Faerbor acted as toast master, and
ono of tbe best speeches made at the banquet
was delivered by Dr. Lieber. Hois a broad
shouldered, stocky man, blessed with a clear,
oratnnd voice and ably supported by all the
tricks of the politician and the arts of the
scholar. He was frequently' applauded, and
when he raised and drank to the health of
those present and their prosperity all stood up,
and with a great shout, clinked thoir
classes and sipped the wmo with him.
'the doctor said it was a creat nleasure for him
to be present. To accept the Invitation he was
forced to be absent from tbe celebration of his
marriage. It was a keen disappointment to
himself and his children, and once before he
had done the same thing to come to America.
He complimented the clergy on the success of
the congress, and flattered, them because tbey
bad made no blunders. He predicted tbe future
prosperity of tbe church in America, and said
ho was interested in its growth and develop
ment. Prof. Schrceder, of the Catholic University at
Washington, delivered a beautiful address in
Latin. Dr. Lieber wanted to know if having
taken many of tho priests and professors from
Germany the Americans intended to leave the
Fatherland anything. Speeches were also
made by Bishops Katzer, Flash' and Haid,
and Father Duffner, of this city.
CAUGHT JNJHE ACT.
Two Supposed Swindlers Arrested While
Collecting SIodot br Shndy Represents
tlons Locked Up for n Hearing Ta-Day
Their Mode of Operation.
The police of the Southside made an im
portant arrest yesterday afternoon, one that
will probably put a stop to what is consid
ered one of the neatest swindling schemes
that bave been unearthed recently. A few
days ago it was learned that two men were
in the city collecting money upon false
representations from the various brewers. The
Southside brewers wero notified on Wednesday
to be on tbe alert and in case the gentlemen
turned up to notily the police. The plan of
operations was so thoroughly explained that it
was not to bo supposed any of them would be
"taken tn."
But yesterday afternoon the two men, who
gave their names as Edward Way and Joseph
Mayer, cot on that side of the river and began
operations. First, they called at the Keystone
Brewery and explained the object of" their
visit They said they represented the Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen, which holds a
convention in New York shortly. Thoy claimed
to be raising funds to pay tbe exnenses of dele
gates to the convention and wanted a small
contribution. They did not get anything at the
Keystone.
Thev then went to Winter Brothers and
renresented themselves as tbo agent of the
"Official Convention Book," which is to con
tain the proceedings of the New York conven
tion, and solicited an advertisement for the
same. They succeeded in getting $15 worth of
cash business, and they proceeded to Cbnst
Hauch's brewery. They failed to-impress Mr.
Hauch with the advantages of tbe "Official
Book," and shortly after they left, they found
themselves In the custody of Officer Frank
Risch, who locked them up in the Twenty
eighth ward station house. Between them, the
men bad 175 and a lot of contracts and receipts,
ostensibly belonging to the Brotherhood ol
Locomotive Firemen, but bearing neither the
name or number of any particular local lodge.
The men will have a hearing to-day. at which
time it is expected the police will bave secured
the names of all persons who have been fleeced
by the prisoners. Inspector McKelvey said
last night, ho thoucht their operations extended
over both cities, but he could not tell abso
lutely. The men aro supposed to be swindlers
inasmuch as they sometimes told one story and
sometimes another, and they could not give
any definite information about tbe convention
or when it was to be held. Tne fact that no
firemen's convention is known of at present
also adds strength to the suspicion.

Miss Lizzie Fitzpatrlck, the 16-year-old
'daughter of Thomas Fitzpatrlck, a Southside

to be married several weeks ago. Tho girl's
parents objected to the match, owing to her

consent could be secured or the girl became

OPENING LECTURES.
THE SEASON. BEGINS IN EARNEST
ALLEGHENY. .
IN
Chill W. Hnzzard Talks About Swltcbei,
at Cnrneeic Library Hall Dr. Falrbnlrn,
of dxfor'd, England, Discusses Philoso
phy and' Theism Interesting nnd la
ttracllre Talks.
The lecture season opened in Allegheny
yesterday. In the evening at Carnegie
Library" Hall Chill "W. Hazzard had the
floor. The genial editor from Monongahela
City appeared before the audience, a rather
portly gentleman with a gray beard that
once was gold bright red gold. He has a
smiling, open face especially when talk
ing and his scanty locks carefully combed
to hide the shining evidences of early piety.
The Colonel was at his happiest last night.
He spoke at the opening ot there being a
mistake as to the subject of his lecture on
account of the fact that it was mentioned in
the newspapers as "Whistling." He further
remarked that it was only natural, as the
papers that tell tbe biggest lies bave tho biggest
circulation. Mr. Hazzard claims for his paper
the largest 'circulation in the country, and if
his logic holds good it Is probably true.
Tbe snblert of the Colonel's lecture proved to
be "Switches." but not the kind that has often
made the small boy's heart heavy, and his
Jacket wet from weeping. The switches re
ferred to were those on tbe great railway of
life. The speaker opened by showing bow little
things may change the whole course of one's
life, or even the policy of a nation. Little
anecdotes strung along through the talk made
it interesting as well as instructive. He spoke
of the many switches in life's journey, and
mentioned some that should be taken, while
others should bo abandoned, andligbtenedeach
little moral lesson with a humorous story that
kept his auditors in a roar of laughter. The
Colonel, in the course of his remarks, told of
tbe young married man who had eaten pie at
the house ot his mother-in-law, and, to his
wife's query as to tho quality, gave her to
understand tbathe considered it an indifferent
sort of a pie. The young wife burst into tears,
and exclaimed that "Ma made pies
before you wero bornF' "And,"
the hnsband replied: "That was probably one
one of them." This, of course, did not increase
the pleasure of tbe scene or the happiness of
married life. The Colonel also, among bis
stock, had an anecdote of the money-lender,
with which he showed bow some people think
the Almighty sees things inverted. Ayonng
man applied to the broker for money, and he
figured out the interest at 9 per cent. This was
objected to, and the money-lender was accused
of being guilty of usnry. and he was told that
I the Lord would see that and charge It up to his
account lnis aiu seem to greatly worry tne
broker, who replied that the Almighty would
take the 9 for a 6 upside down, and that would
settle it all right.
On through bis address Colonel Hazzard hap
pily interspersed interesting anecdotes, and tit
them in so they served his purpose well. He
was enthusiastically received, theapplause and
laughter that followed each humorous sally
showing plainly that the lecture was greatly ap
preciated by tbe audience.
DB. FATEBAIBK'S FIRST.
The Eminent Scholar Bestns His Coarse of
Lectures In Allrcbeny.
Yesterday morning at the Western Theologi
cal Seminary, on Ridge avenue. Allegheny, Dr.
A. M. Fairbalrn. of Mansfield College, Oxford,
England, lectured. It was an introductory
philosophical discussion as to the basis of the
ism. It dealt with the place ot the conception
of God in religion, and showed that the specu
lation of to-day was remarkable, of the way in
which names were used to denote some one of
the many elements which entered into the the
istic idea. Every system attempted to find in
the ideal force of the unknown, of the uncou
scions, or a stream of tendency an idea that
could occupy tbe place or discbarge tbe func
tions proper to tbe conception of deity. He
then showed the necessity of the idea to tbe
higher life of the individual and race, and went
on to argue that it was an idea that touched
every truth and was rooted in the whole mind
and implied In all Its speculation. It was every
problem,, ot philosophy and of theology
emerged before in philosophy which only
meant that in all knowledge the idea of God
was contained and with all knowledge bad
to do.
Tbe lecturer then went ou to show that tbe
question at the root of philosophy, how man
came by bis knowledge, involved grounds of
theistic belief. The principle that explained
our individual existence and also tbe being of
the universal philosophy of knowledge, became
a philosophy of theism. The transcendental
elements of thought Involved reality and trans
cendental being, which was but another name
for the necessity of God, at once the cause and
condition of all phenomenal existence. The
lecturer then entered into a problem of ancient
and modern philosophy, and showed that
while ancient was conrerned with objective ex
istence modern,was ooncerned with a-process of
knowledge, and tbe latter was always much
more radical than the former. This problem
was discussed, as stated, by Des Cartes, who.
rather than Bacon, was described as the father
of modern philosophy, for Bacon had only
formulated a method. Des Cartes a problem.
The problem is deeper than tbe method, and
the history of philosophy since Des Cartes has
been bnt an attempt to solve his problem. This
problem concerned a base of certitude which
was found iu thought, and which in turn in
volves evidence at once for the existence of
self of an external world and tbe being of
God.
Dr. Fairbalrn lectures to-day at 11 o'clock
and also this evening. During his stay here be
lectures 12 times, and preaches at tbe North
Presbyterian Church Sunday morning and
evening.

The ladies of this city and vicinity, as
well as visitors to the Exposition, will be

We confidently believe that in no house
East or West is there such a complete and
enormous variety of woolen dress fabrics,

most popular weaves. And the same fact is
true of our silk department in both black

Our display at the Exposition this season
r ionceded by all who have seen it to be the
greatest exhibit that was ever attempted by
any house in our branch of business.
A visit to our store on Penn avenue can
not tail to impress you with the truth of the
fact that any lady making purchases in dress
goods without first coming here does her
shopping at a great disadvantage.
Words will not express or give yon any
idea of tbe extent and variety and elegance
of the stock now to be seen in this store.

A PLAGUE OF EATS.
Country Districts That Are Just Kow
Oyerrtm With the Yermia,
ALL TVAYS TO GET EID OF TflEil
Being Tried, From Foison to Weasels, but
Bo far Without Avail..
A LITTLE TOO EXPENSIVE SCATKGEES
There is a great plague of rats at present
In some of the country districts. On the
ridge between Montour and Moon runs they
are destroying infant poultry at a very
costly rate. One family near Eobb's station
lost two dozen well-grown springers last
week by rats. A weasel made its appear
ance in the vicinity some weeks ago and
the people hoped it would (thin out the
rodents, but their hopes were blasted when
the weasel joined the rats and killed S7
chickens in one bouse and in one hight.
Were it not that the rats are destroying
more than their weight in grain every 24
hours, they would be preferable to weasels.
The rats are of an extremely fierce breed,
and do not appear to be afraid of cats, nor
do the cats appear to have any stomach for
them, consequently the farmers are making
a run on drugstores, and rough on rats and
strychnine are being spread invitingly in
barns aud cellars. Thousands of rats are
dying, but their places, so far, seem to be
occupied so quickly that tbey are not
missed, though the old fellows with corns on
their toes are about all extinct.
some people suppose the destruction ot
hawks. Skunks and other vermin has thinned
the ranks of the rats' natural enemies to such
an extent that tbe former will be a nuisance
almost unabatable. as many people are averse
to using poison. Proprietors of ferrets might
make money by taking, contracts to rid tbe
southwest portion of the county of tbe M. decu
manus.
While rats are doubtless very useful as scav
engers in tho cities, tbey are very expensive
ones, it not kept nnder control, and people in
the country feel able to get along entirely
without tbem. They destrov more in value,
each year, than the Interest on Stats
and national debts, and if the House of Han
over was as costly In England as rats aro la the
United States, It isn't much wonder that tbe
people associate it with the M. decumanus,
German or Norway rat. The introduction of
this particular rat Into this country may have
been unavoidable, but that of the sparrow was
not, and it is a wonder that some idiots are not
trying to acclimate the rabbit that threatens
Australia with starvation.
IT WAS NOT LEPE0ST.
Dr. Sands Says the Luvrreacevilte Man Had
a Common Disensr.
Last week the police officials were notified
that a foreigner was lying sick at one of the
hotels near the Union depot. A Penn avenue
physician investigated tbe case, and it was re
ported that the man was suffering from lep
rosy. Dr. R. M. Sands, of the Twenty-second
police district, stated yesterday that he had in
vestigated the case, but found there was no ap
pearance of leprosy. He said that no reputable
physician would say that the man was afflicted
with the dread disease. The patient was in tho
'secondary stage of a common disease, and
uuuereu irom want; ox meaicai attention.
