A PLEASAXT FEATURE.
One ol the very pleasant features of yester
daywastbe progfammedeliTered by the Great
"Western Band, under the guidance ot Prof.
'Weiss. A selection that attracted considerable
attention was one entitled, "fatroup's Band
Box." It was recently composed by Mr. Weiss.
The officers of the day were: Starter. W. Van
Austin, of Philadelphia, wbo was also assisted
by Jlr. William A. Hadfield as judge. The
timer itas James L. Cravens; Clerk, J. I
Wnebt: Secretary, J. A. JlcUrackcn. Mr. Van
Austin had occasion in the third heat of tne
pace to impose to fines of $5 each on persons
who insisted on coming up ahead of .the pole
horse, he is very firm in his rulings, and pre
vents the long and tedious scoring that always
wears out the patience of the spectators. Ho
has acted as a professional starter for several
years, and understands the business as u ell as
any man in America.
T here are three big races on the card to-day
and a large attendance is expected. The track
is now in better condition than it has been this
season. It has been worked very thoroughly
since the July meeting and could not well be
better.
The summaries of the races of yesterday, to
gether with descriptions of each beat, follow:
THE FIRST RACE.
The 2.20 raccnith eight entnes,had but three
starters. Acolyte drew the Dole, Horicon sec
ond place, and Richmond. Jr., o'n the outside.
There was bnt little stir until nearly 1 o'clock;
then the sporty boys began guessing. Rich
mond was installed the fa orite over the field,
Tbo first bets made showed that ho was liked
$25 vtnrtb,wbilenoone would bet more than S16
on the pair. Field talues arose to nearly
even before the start. They went away the
first time up to a beautiful start. Horicon as
sumed a slight lead, the others close up. Hori
con led at the quarter, viiib Acolyte becond. He
increased tbis to the half by three lengtLs,
Acolrte the same distance ahead of Richmond,
who had made two or three breaks. Richmond
passed Acolyte on the lower turn and got to
Honcon's wheel. They had quite a race down
the stretch, but Richmond went up 15 rods
lrom the wire and Horicon won in hand. Time,
25!
becond beat The talent still clung to Rich
mond, and he was a favorite over tho field.
They had no trouble in getting away to a
beautiful start. Horicon led to the quarter,
two lengths ahead or Richmond, who made a
break on the turn. Down in the stretch both
drew AMay from Acolyte abont six length,
with Horicon alengihin advance of Richmond.
On the lower turn Richmond got his nose on
the leader's wheel, and held there to near the
stretch. Coming home he looked like he might
win. hat when fairly well started he made a
break. He came again, hut bolihed Tip once
more, and Horicon won easily. Time, 2 JO.
Third heat Ine bojsnon began to thiuk that
possibly there might be -omcthing in tho Hori-
an famllv, and there was a shut in the betting.
The held bujers were in clover at the finish of
the heat, as the Horicon horse won, with quite
a bit to parc He opened a big gap at the
start, hut alloued Richmond to close on him a
little at places. When he struck into the
"stretch for home Golaniitb made his drive, bnt
Horicon bad the speed, and McGregor steadied
his charge home a handsome winner m the fast
time of 2:1

2.20
The 2.30 pace had ten starters, fonr of them
being drawn. Daisy V diew the pole. Delight
second place. King Hiero third, Ada fourth,
hpokane fifth, Mac sixth. Doctor L seventh,
Grav Wilkes eighth, lorn D ninth. As is usual
with the pacers there was lots of guessing as
to where the winner was located. At first
Delight and Doctor L rated about even with
the field. Before the start Ada L was rating
even with the balance of the delegation. They
got off i en well for such a big lot. Daisy V.
Ada and King Hicro led away and passed the
quarter tu this order. It was the same to the
hair, with Gray Wilkes fourth and the race
was between these four. Around the lower
turn Gray Wilkes made a great spurt and took
third place, but it was only a blutl. Daisy led
into the stretch and it was now merely a ques
tion between herself and Ada. The Utter
came very fast and at the draw bars was even.
Both were extended, but Ada landed first
by half a length, Mac third, three lengths
ai. King Hiero fourth, the others as per
summary, lime. 2.23Ji
feeconu heat Ada was still a favoritp over
the field with Daisy V and Mac the mainstay of
the latter delegation. The result of the heat
showed that tnesc three were the only ones in
it. Dais took a slight advantage at the start
with Ada lapped on. .Around the upper turn.
' ,Vist n'e'juartt'r, down the back stretch and
into tbe lower turn they wentalmost a team to
the delight of the spectators. TnenAda went
to the front arid Daisy took second on the
leadcis shoulder. When they struck plain
sailing Ada drew slowly away and looked as if
she would have a little to spare under the wire,
bnt Mar came with a tremendous rush on the
outside ayd came within an ace of winning,
Daisy third, others as per summary. Time,
2:2
PUT HIS FOOT IS IT.
Third heat Everyone thought it was about
all over but the ofhcial announcement, but in
th.s they were m.stakon, as Mac just went out
and lint his foot in it. The scoring was tire
some, and starting judge Van Austen had to
caution several drivers before they got the
word. When it was given Pat Garvcv. who
was up behind King Hiero s eered him out of
the bunch and took the pole like a flash. Mac
came next, and this confnsed Ada so that she
went to a break and fell away to the rear. It
was Hiero, Mac and Daisy in close order to the
lower turn, wheu Mac assumed the lead. It
looked as if he would have little trouble from
there home, but Delight came with a rush
down the stietch and had he baa 30 feet more
to go would have won. Time 2.2b.
Fourth heat A whole lot of wise people still
clung to Ada, and they would bet 2 to 1 that
she would win, but she made a very tame shott
ing, and after repeated breaks finished last.
Mac went an ay in the lead, attended by Daisy
V, and King Hiero getting in his usual spurt in
third place. The heat was uneventful, the only
change of anj consequence being that Doctor
L got into third place, where he finished. Mac
won as he pleased with lots to spare. Time.
2.2!
Everything was Mac now, but he was not
allotted to win without a good, game bid from
the little black mare. She took the lead and
was first at the quarter with Mac n her wheel.
He led at the half, but she chased him closely.
It was the same into the stretch but do her
best she could not catch him. though she
looked a little dangerous once until a break
settled it. Time, 224.

OPENING AN ELECTION BUBB.

The hearing in the Carr-Pf eifer election con
test was continued before Master John S. Bobb,
Jr- yesterday afternoon. The list of those who

MARRIAGE A SUCCESS
If Allegheny County's License Fig
ures Can bo Taken as a Criter
ion by Which to Judge It.
THE LAW SOW FIVE YEARS OLD.
More Than 23,000 Couples in That Length
of Time Given Permits to Be
come Han and Wife.
PEW OP THEM AS TET AFTER DIY0ECES.
Growth of the County Blown is the Increased Nmaber
of Weddmgs.
The marriage license law of .Pennsylva
nia was five years old yesterday and it has
not proven marriage in Allegueny county
to be a failure. Qn.the other hand, it is be
lieved to have' been a howling success.
Capt. John D. Hieber, who guards the por
tals ol Hymen's court in the Register's of
fice, last evening issued license numbered
23,369. The figures are interesting, as they
show that marriage is keeping pace with
the growth o population, and that the latter
is not necessarily mainly dependent on im
migration. The first year the law went into effect,
1885-6, the number of licenses granted was
3.58J, and the record for the year closed yts
terday was 5,633, a gain, in round numbers,
of 60 per cent, more or less. The ;esults,
Captain Hieber states, are eminently satis
factory so far, if the records of the divorce
court are -to be accepted as authority, but
tew names appearing in that record of those
who have "'declared their intentions" in the
Register's office since October 1, 1883.
IT KEKPS HIM BUST.
AVere it not that the genial license clerk
is kept too bnsy to fully enjoy the situation,
as a bystander can, he would have a place so
jolly that it would soon kill a Mark Tapley.
Some applicants approach the awlul thresh
old as tnough it were a great joke, while on
the brows ol others, both male and female,
there is an expression of pain and much
trepidation. Some swains show as much
anxiety, as did the youth who cried on his
wedding day, and wheu reproached for his
chicken-hearteduess .by his father, w.ho
added, "It's nothing. I didn't cry when I
was married," replied between choking
sobs, "But you married mamma." Many a
young fellow feels, as he approaches the
tremendous crisis, that if he could have his
mother at his back, the ordeal wonld not be
so dreadtul.
The ladies either take more naturally to
the hymeneal halter, or sxe better able to
dissemble their feelings, as but few lose
their self-poise, and many either regard the
occasion pleasantly, or affect to do so.
Occasionally there is a considerable retinue
attending, and in these cases the bride is
apt to show some feeling, sometimes trepi
dation, and at others rage. This retinnc
occasionally consists of the father and
mother, a constable, a lawyer, a leave of
abseuce from the bastile, and sometimes a
minister of the gospel, or justice ot the
peace. These, however, are exceptional
cases, and usually the impelling power is
mutual.
A COUET HOUSE CLEEGTMAN.
Dr. Douglass' benignant countenance is
quite a familiar feature on occasions when
the parties are desirous ot getting the noose
adjusted quickly. Being generally in the
vicinity of the Court House during License
Court hours, bis services are more easily pro.
cureu than tboe ot any other minister.
It appears that women are subject to all
sorts of notions and prejudices on this subject.
Some, the majority, want" a minister of the
gospel to officiate, while others prefer a civil
magistrate. In five years there hare been few
self-marriages, the ladies generally objecting,
either because they fear this kind of cement is
not good, or because they -are more given to
pomp and circumstance than -tho rougher sex.
But while the majority want a clergyman, some
of the angels seem to think a magisterial weld
firmer, and the eroom, whatever he may prove
when the time arrives tbat his wife doesn't see
tit to take ber bair out of papers to receive
bim, is usually obsequious before the nuptial
rite is performed and she is Queen in the
Court of Lovo at the inception of the honey
moon. Captain Hieber states that Americans in this
section appear to havo a preference for getting
married in May and June. He bad just un
limbered to give his reasons, when an impor
tunate would-be husband broke in and insisted
on getting his license, and the broken thread
was not resumed. ,
SOME SEDUCTION'S.
A lady of observation says tbat children are
usually taken for adoption from orphan asy
lums in the spring months, and she under
stands that it is because the buoyancy incident
to the season inclines them to heart enlarge
ment, and she opines that many people con
templating marriage feel that less expense
aitenas tne Deginuiiu; ot housekeeping in
warm than in cold weather. Tennyson is au
thority for the statement that in the spring,
tune the thoughts of a young man lightly turn
to love, and thelady quoted thinks it is because
in the fall they heavily turn to thoughts of the
wajs and weans wherewith to purcbase meat,
potatoes etc, and crowd out thoughts of lovo.
It is very likely that both she andTcnnjson
are right. October, however, is somewhat
growing in favor as a mating month.
Some political economists, perhaps the ma
jority, say tbat marriages are regulated in
number by the cheapness of food. Food has
not been remarkably cheap the past year, but
people have been well employed, and at re
munerative wages, and this amounts to the
same thing. Thanksgiving Day is a favorite
period for bvmeneal events, possibly because
these people think it either a fitting day on
which to commemorate an important date in
their existence, or because they have "a day
olf."
The cost of a marriage permit runs from SO
cents to SI 60. If the parties are not obliged to
get consent of parents or guardians, the first
named sum Is adequate. It is said tbat li
censes yield about an.average of 0 cents each
to the revenue.
NEW FIRE ALARM MACHINERY.

The workof setting np tbe new machinery in
the fire alarm office began yesterday by the re

SECTIONALISM AT THE BOTTOM Of THE
PARK ENTRANCE ORDINANCE:
Its Postponement a Wornlmrm to the Needs
or Other Quarters of the CIV How a
-Fioe Brldfe Wonld Piclfy-tho-SontU-Ide
Tbo schcnley Offer to boTnUcri Up
Again
There wis much talk jresterday about the
extraordinary action of Connciis ,in indefi
nitely postponing Mrs. Schenley's offer of
19 acres, at Forbes street, as an entrance to
the park, for $75,000. A number ol know
ing ones affected to see In'this a breaking
away by Councilmen from .th'e Magee
Flinn influence which hasjiitherto general
ly dominated City Halfpolicy. Others
pooh-poohed that idea and pointed to the
fact that in the same Council session the
Dnquesne Traction Company ordinance
went through like greased lightning,
which would hardly have been -the case if
the disposition had been to fight the Magce
Klinn influence.
, Nevertheless, the matter"was briskly talked
about around City Hall and in various other
quarters yesterday. A cpol-beaded, non-par-tian
official gaye this analysis of the situation.
He said: "No, this setting aside' of the Schcn
ley Park proposition is no 'part 'of a deep,
loody scheme of revolt against Magee or
Flinn or Chief Bigelow. Doubtless, times will
be lively enough pretty soon, lor if Brother
Quay wins the State he will try his "band at
eliminating the semi-official opposition to him
in tho city. But that is further ahead. All
there was really at the bottom of the park
postnoncment was the annoyance folt in vari
ous districts at the slownessof improvements,
Never was so much work midertaken-as this
jear, and the people get mad, whenever there
Is a prospect of Its being delayed through the
winter. This Is not wholly any famtoftbe
city authorities either. It is only witbln a
couple of years that property owners could be
induced to see the benefit of paying for new
pavements. Now they all want them, and they
want them right-away, quick. Last year
there were some very bad postponements
which left several districts inaccessible. It is
likely tbat betore the frost sets in most con
tracts for this year will he pretty welllnlshcd.
"But, in the meantime, tnere is grumbling,
and the Councilmen beard it, aud 1 think they
spoke what they heard freely at the meeting
on Monday, in place of acting with any deep
factional design. It was partly due to the feel
ins of sectionalism. The Soathside and Law
renceville think the East End is getting there
ra'her too rapidly recently, forcetting tbat the
park will soon be a resort for the whole, city,
and that good improvements in the East End
will quickly compel others on the Southside and
Lawrence rille, too. Meanwhile, tho action in
postponing Mrs. Scheuley' offer Is very ab
surd. Any real estate dealer could havo told
Councils that while tbo property is, offered at
little more than 73,500 per acre, it could be sold
at 510,000 to $15,000 per acre.' It is an instance
of temper getting ahead of good judgment.
"But something should be done for them,
and one of the first and best things to do
would be to give the Southside a free bridge
leading to the park from some point uear
Liughlin station, which is directly opposite.
That should be the first of tbeSoutbsme free
bridges. No doubt Mrs. Schenley's offer will
ultimately be accepted with thanks.

"William Martin, now ox-Secretary of the
Amalgamated Associatiouof Iron and Steel
workers of America, performed the last
official act of his office last 'evening in turn
ing over to the treasurer allthe moneys in
his possession belonging to the association.
It was the occasion of tbe quarterly meet
ing of the Advisory Board. There was a
full attendance, including. President Will
iam Weibe. Secretary William Martin, Treas
urer James Penney and Trustees John Pierce,
Edwarrt O'Donnell and Edward; W. Keil.
James K. Nntt, of Yonngstown, who succeeds
John Pi -TCO as trustee, was abo present. Mr.
Martin's accounts were audited and found to
be thoroughly m order and satisfactory in every
respect. Mr. Martin next banded,Alr. Penney
a check for a considerable amount, reptsentlng
all the money Id his hand. At receiving this
mute intimation of tbe severingof Mr. Martin's
connection with the association, he good
natured old Treasurer was much affected. Tbe
scene was impressive and one not soon to be
f oreotten by those present.
The retiring secretary was tendered a letter
signed bv tbe-entire board, in which tbe-roem-bers
testified to the accuracy and correctness
of his accounts and bore cordial, testimony to
his honesty and efficiency.
To say that Mr. Martin'sretirement from the
association is regarded with regret, is to say
the least that can be 'aid ot how his loss will
be felt by the rank and file of. the organization.
During his 12 years' term of office as sec
retary he was foremost in tbe councils of the
order, and his prudence and cour
age helped to carry the association
through many a crisis. The most notable of
tnese was at aiingo junction in nai. ine
Knights of Labor and the Amalgamated were
both fighting for the mill. By a.bold stroke of
diplomacv Mr. Martin carried through negotia
tions with the firm while the other side were
considering measures. Tbis victory was gen
erally regarded as the turning point in tbe his
tory of tbe association. During bis 12 j ears
incumbency of the secretary's office- Mr. Martin
disbursed somewhere about S2.000.0u0 qt money.
Stephen Madden, tbe well-known (assistant
secretary, succeeds Mr. Martin. John Kilgal
lon, a puddler in tbe Lower Union Mills, takes
Mr. Madden's place. Mr. Martin has trans
ferred bis sphere of dnty to 963 Liberty street.

cers of dealers in butter trading in oleomar
garine, when the statutes of tbe State of
Pennsylvania prohibit the sale or manufact
ure of butterine or oleomargarine within
tbe State.
It will be nothing new to the public to be
told that it buys oleomargarine. It is on
sale in the two cities, and very many people,
when ihey call for cheap butter, know that
they are buying r the manufactured article
whose only acquaintance with a cow is that
they are both raised on the same earth. The
dealers who sell it arecharyof calling it
"oleomargarine;" they are perfectly aware
that they are acting illegally in exposing it for
sale under any title, but run all the risks of
prosecution for the amount of money to be
made from its sale. It is not believed that
there is widespread fraud attached to its
sale, but it is known that many of the
smaller dealers retail oleomargarine at the
prices of good batter. Iu the Pittsburg and
Allegueny markets tbe article is openly ou
sale, traders sometimes giving it its full
title, while others reier to it as "something,
tne pnbiic knows all abont, you Know."
WHERE THE FBATJD LIES.
The open fraud is perpetrated when the
Government license stamp is removed from
the pails and the stuff set up lor sale as
butter. In such cases tbe dealer receives
from 25 cents to 28 cents for stuff that it
purchased at wholesale at from 13 cents to Mi
cents, according to grade. He sells with im
punity, because the State law is not enforced.
He is guilty, but guilty only to a greater degree
than his fellow trader who sells tbe oleo for
what it is. Both contravene tbe St ite law, and
both are required to pay Uncle Sam H a month
for tbe express privilege of breaking that law.
Somenhere between 140,u00and 175.000 pounds
of oleomargarine are imported into Pittsburg
and Allegheny every week. The wholesale
price runs from 13 to lift cents, and it retails
for 20 cents a pound It is generally under
stood tbat abont hilf a dozen men have the
handling of this stuff, under what is called the
"Oleo Trust." What nice little profits the ting
makes out of tho contraband stutf can be seen
from the fact tbat from a shipment of $4,500
worth one dav last week, It netted $1,500.
Under the United SUtes law tho wholesale
Tenders of the article are required to pay a
license of SIS a month. If each of the six or
elgbt Importers, who are also venders, were
properly taxed, each would bave to pay tbo
amount. Bat thev evade the taxation by hav
ing a central office, to which all the orders
from dealers, here and from outside districts,
are sent. This office, it is understood, is cen
tered in a butter company's establishment on
Water street. This company does not make
any secret of the fact tnac it imports oleomar
garine, as its stores are filled with pails so
labeled.
HOW THEY CAN SELL IT.
The company would seem to be well pro
tected under tbe original package decision. It
can sell the imported stuff In tbe palls, and so
overrule the State law. Bnt the dealers who
sell it by retail have not this Immunity.
A peculiar feature of the case is that another
State Is reaping the benefit of an infraction of
tbe law which prohibits Pennsylvania from
making oleomargarine, and by the sale of
which tbe latter might as well profit as not.
borne three years ago an attempt to manufact
ure oleomargarine in Allegheny was quickly
frustrated, aud latterly a factory for the same
purpose, started in Philadelphia, was closed
up and the nroprietors, as well as dealers who
baa bonght from him, prosecuted and fined.
Regarding the sale of the imitation article
it is not so certain that the public would like the
importation stopped. There are always buyers
who want tbe cheapest things of the kind tbat
money can buy, and oleomargarine suits them
for this reason. The real injury is done when
the spurious is palmed off as the real article.
And tbat tbis is done very extonsively Is
claimed by people wbo should know. Whole
sale grocers are. of course, opposed to its sale,
because it interferes with their trade. They
may also be a verso to It because they have not
a share in the profits derived from its sale, ami
which, as already stated, are participated in Dy
half a dozen men who have formed a bnttcr
trust and cornered the trade.
DTD HOT ISSUE THE BONDS.
An Order of Couit Nrcotmry to Trnnsfer
Passenger Itnlhray (Stocks.
At tbe meeting of stockholders of tho Pitts
bnrg, Allegheny and Manchester Railwav
Company yesterday, nothing was done about
tbe issue of bonds and the stockholders ad
journed to meet again on October 31. There
construction of the Hues owned by tbe com
pany, change of motive power, etc., it is esti
mated will cost abont 51,000,000.
A bill of equity was filed yesterday by tbe
Pittsburg, Allegheny and Manchester Passen
ger Railway Company, against James J. Don
nell, W. (J. Park. D: E. Park and Jacob
Painter, Jr., executors of R. C. Gray. It was
staled that in November 188A tbe directors of
the Pittsburg, Allegheny aud Manchester Rail
way Company appointed Charles Atwell, R. C.
Gray and Jacob D. Sculley, trustees to purchase
stock nt the Union Passenger Railway Com-
any at $60 per share. The trustees purchased
199 shares of the stock for SaO.SMO, givingtheir
notes In payment and receiving in return tbe
note of the Pittsburg,AIlegheny and Manches
ter Company. The stock was in tbe names of
trustees as individuals and they were author
ized by the Pittsburg, Allegheny and Manches
ter Company to vote it.
As tbe Pittsburg. Allegheny and Manchester
Passenger Railway Company now wants to
transfer the stock to tbe Pittsburg, Allegheny
and Manchester Traction Company, they de
sire that the stock be transferred by tbe
trustees to tbe company, tbe trustees having
no interest in it, having been fully reimbursed.
The executors of Captain Gray did not wish to
do so without an order of court, and a decree
to tbe effect that the stock belongs to the Pitts
burg, Allegheny and Manchester Comoany and
ordering a transfer was asked for. The facts
in the case were admitted by tbe executors of
Captain Gray and the court granted tbe decree.
HIGHEK PEICES COMING.
How tbe Failnre of tho Fruit nnd Vegetable
Crop Will AfiVct the Trade.
Tbe American Preserve Association met at
the trust's rooms on Fourth avenue yesterday.
They never furnish much information about
their gatherings, but Mr. B. Fenton, of Buf
falo, assured the reporters that prices were not
advanced. Speaking of the future of the
trade this winter, he said: "Both tho fruit and
vegetable crops were miserable failures, and
tbe only result tbat can be is increased prices.
I find in talking with my broker and local
merchants that tbe stocks are very bright, and
the surplus from last year in the warehouses
has been pretty evenly distributed. Prices
will remain about as they are until spring,
when the scarcity will compel a good advance.
Since the custom house regulations were
cbanged two years ago by Congress tbe im
porters bave not been able to do mucb. They
used to import large quantities of jams. 1
have beard of 19,000 cases of peaches shipped
to England that have been returned here, and
sold for a handsome profit. This shows bow
serious the failure of the fruit crop has been."

DRIVEN TO DESPAIR.
PITTSBURG PAWNBROKERS THREATEN
TO SHUT UP SHOP.
They Deny the Right of Any and Everybody
to Examine Their Book Result of a
Secret Meeting That Was Held Last
Evening. ,
A citv without pawnshops would look
queer. Bnt that's what Pittsbnrg promises
to be in the near Inture. The men now en
gaged iu the business declare that the
gilded balls which bave heretofore adorned
their places of business will have to come
down unless the new ordinance passed by
Council on Monday is modified somewhat
Notices were sent to every pawnbroker,
yesterday, requesting them to attend a meet
ing at Levi DeRoy's establishment, 1133 Fenn
avenue. Reporters were excluded from tbe
meeting, but tbe result of the conference is
soon told. After considerable discussion those
firesent decided to suspend until tbe ordinance
s modified according to their views, and If the
requests are nbt granted it is likely that all of
tbem will quit tbe pawnbrokerage business.
N. Qallingcr was seen after tbe meeting. He
stated tbat be quit business yesterday, and
was undecided wnether he would resume, no
matter if tbe ordinance was cbanged to meet
the ideas ot tbe otber pawnbrokers. "Every
one present at the meeting," said be, "thought
that tho feature of the ordinance which re
quired tbe pawnshops to make dairly reports
of what goods they receive IS a very just one,
but what all of us object to is that clause in
tbe'ordinance which says that the public shall
bave access to our books. Now we wonld like
to know just wbo Is the public In this case. We
don't propose to allolv everyone to
enter our stores and demand us to
produce our books for - examination.
We would agreo totho proper authorities ex
amining our books, but no oue else. Ibis sec
tion of tbe ordinance must be made more spe
cific before we take out licenses for the ensu
ing year. At the meeting a committee was ap
pointed to confer with the authorities in regard
to this change, and if it is not made there will
be a number of retirements from the business.
A few have not decided what ih,ey will do.
Mr. Qalllnger refused to loan money on ar
ticles tendered him yeBterday, and wilt remain
out of the business until the committee re
ports. The law does not give them any exten
tlon of time after to-day, and if licenses are not
taken out to-day they can not continue in busi
ness. Samuel Van Ullem, the Southside pawn
broker, took oat bis license yesterday under
the new law.
TWO EXCELLENT CONCERTS

tnKPfl to Out'lilers Some Good Reason
Give.! A Live Topic for To-Day's Bnl
lotlnir. To-night the band programme at the Ex

Isle, and a fine selection has been made. A
good deal of interest also centers on the pro
gramme for to-morrow night, when the St.
Cecilia, Germania and Bobert Blum man
nerchors will sing. Following is the pro
gramme: 1. "AmAltare derWahreit" Mohr
(At the altar of truth.)
A grand and inimttably chaste composition
the cbef d'ouvre of Mohr. Adapted in a
marked degree to a blending of voices. It con
tains solos, duos and grand chornses.
2L "Wle Hah Ich Sie Geliebt" Moehring
(Howl love her.)
One of tbe most tender pieces of vocal music
in the whole range of harmony. Full of soft
cadences and melting combinations. It is tbe
epic of the tender affection love rendered in
sound.
3. NachliedderKrieger.
("The Warrior's Night Song." a comnanion to
Scott's "Soldier's Rest")
It expresses the languid repose of a gal
lant soldier returning worn and bloody
from a bard-fought fray. It tells of tbe blue
eyes ho loves in far off Dentchland. and the
soft threads of golden hair In which hn longs
to pillow his own grizzled front. The soldier's
eartbly wahalla, the .arms of bis lady love,
are described in tbe soldier's good-night.
"Should a citizens' committee be organized
to present Pittsburg's natural advantages to
outside manufacturers?" that was the voting
topic at The Dispatch headquarters at tbe
Exposition last night. A large affirmative vote
was cist, showing tbat citizens are wide-awake
to advance tho interests of tho city in every
wav possible. '
Some of tbe affirmative remarks were: "It
would bring more trade tonnr woudertul city;"
"Because it's business;" "No one else will do it
for us:" "Yes. and some of Allegheny's advan
tages, too so that some of the outside world
will know there is such a place, at present vir
tually unknown." t
To-day's voting topic is: ''Should iron tower,
glass palace and coal and coke dome be erected
to advertise Pittsburg's resources?"

HIS FIRM' REFUSAL.
Mayor Gonrley Won't Sign the Deed
for the Poor Farm Sale To-Day.
AN0THEEC05FERENCE YESTERDAY
Solicitor lloreland Says the City Will Lose
$8,000 by the Delay.
FAULT F0DNU WITH ME. STHAUB'3 BOSD
Mayor Gourley reiterated his position on
the Poor Farm deal last night, and despite
the earnest solicitation of City Solicitor
Moreland, who expects him to sign the deed
to-day, he refuses to put his autograph to
the paper. This announcement was made
last night and tbe matter is in the same
shape it was yesterday.
A conference with closed doors took place
yesterday afternoon between Mayor Gour
ley, Controller Morrow and City Solicitor
Moreland in the Mayor's private office. Tbe
conference was held at the request of the
City Attorney, who solicited the presence of
Controller Morrow. When the gentlemen
entered the Mayor's office Mr. Moreland
carefully closed the door and the seance
begau. After half an hour's earnest talk,
during which the voices of the three gentle
men could be heard in gentle tones, the ex
ecutive session adjonrced, and the door
keepers were ordered to admit tbe light oi
intelligence in the shape of a number of re
porters, who cast eager glances around for
the evidences of strife which it was sup
posed wonld be found, after the meeting ad
journed. When the Mayor was asked if he
had signed tbe deed lor the sale of the old
farm, he said:
THOUGHT HE MIGHT.
"No, I have not signed it yet, but I may
to-morrow. I will consult with several gen
tlemen this evening, and if they deem it for
the best interests o! the city I will put my
signature to the paper. Major Moreland
argued tbat if tbe deed was signed and turned
over to Carnegie, Phipps & Co. at once, inter
est would begin at once on the money unpaid.
This, it is figured, would be about S50 per day,
or by tbe 1st of January would amount to near
ly $8,000. He said there will not likely be a de
cision from tbe Supreme Court on tbe appeal of
Straub et al. before that time. If tben. Novr,
granting all this, there is a question in my mind
if it is not better tbat the city sboold run the
risk ot losing this 60 per day until the Supreme
Court bands down its decision than to run the
risk of losing a much greater sum through liti
gation of various kinds in eventof the Supreme
Court reversing tbe decision of the lower court.
If that deed was executed and turned over to
Carnegie, Phipps & Co. to-day. and if before the
court's decision is banded down tbey should
erect big mills and other lmnrorements on the
land, and if then tbe decision of tbe lower court
should be reversed, what a lot of trouble there
would be by suits in ejectment, suits for dam
age', etc? Tbe city would no doubt lose much
more than JS.OOO."
.ANOTHER FEATURE.
City Solicitor Moreland said he bad pre
sented another feature of tbe situation which
the Mayor had failed to mention. Tbe plain
tiff in the suit bad. according to law. filed a
bond, in the nominal sum of $300. to cover the
costs of the suit. If there should be a decision
affirming tbe court below and tbe decision
should not be reacbed before the first of Janu
ary, tbe city would loose nearly S8.O0O in inter
est money. By alt law of reasoning the plain
tiff should fila a bond f or $20,000 in this case to
protect tbe city from loss. There was no as
surance tbat a decision wonld be reacbed by
January 1. He quoted tbe Craig street paving
case, which was argued-over a year ago and
upon wbicb there has been as yet no decision,
to show that there might not be a decision in
tbe Poor Farm case any sooner. Major More
land seemed to think the Supreme Court would
nor, under all precedent, reverse tbe lower
court in tbis case,- hnt stranger things had oc
curred frequently. The classification of tbe
cities, he said, might be used with some effect
in this case.
Mayor Gonrley was called upon last night,
and when asked if he held the conference dur
ing tbe evening with the gentlemen be stated
be was going to see, he said: "K o: I called on
tbe gentlemen and they were not home. I will
not sign tbe deed to-morrow. Major Morelana's
argument may be good, but I will stick to tbe
safe side. A few thousand dollars' interest is
not a drop In the bucket to what may result
after the Supreme Court does business."
