THE PITTSBTTRG DISPATCH. TUESDAY. OCTOBER 14. 1S90.

RIGHTS OF CITIZENS
As Against Railroads Ably Defended
by Hon. A. C. Kobertson in
Select Council.
ANOTHER MOVE FOR FREE BRIDGE?
Foreign Laborers Kot to be Entirely De
barred From Employment Upon
Public Works.
PKESEST YALUE OF SCHEKLEI PAEK,
Aeccrfitg te Chitf Bigtlow, Ema Awsy Up Into the
Million t.
Select Councilman Robertson made a
vigorous attack upon the Pennsylvania
Railroad's infringement upon the rights of
citizens, and also filed an eloquent plea for
free bridge communication with the South
side, in Councils yesterday.
Mr. Kobertson called up an ordinance
directing the Chief of tlie Department of
Public Safety to enlorce the existing ordi
nances relating to the tune and movement of
trains on Liberty street.
Mr. Keating moved to refer the ordinance
to the Public "Works Committee. In de
fense of his motion Mr. Keating said there
were already ordinances in existence regu
lating this matter. There was one that pro
hibited the railroad company from moving
a train along Liberty street between the
hours of 9 a. M and 3 P. M., tut the strict
enforcement of this rule, as with many
others, would wort detrimentally to many
of the citizens of the city and the busi
ness men ou Liberty ana other streets, for
whose accommodation the rule was occa
sionally disregarded. The object of such
ordinances as those already passed relating
to this matter were lor the reasonable con
venience of both railroad and citizens.
Their strict enforcement would be a conven
ience to neither, and if this new ordinance
were adopted the Chief of Public Safety
would be compelled to enforce it or fla
grantly disobey the orders ot Councils.
CITIZEN'S HAVE RIGHTS.
Mr. Robertson It is highly important
that this ordinance should pass. I do not
desire to unnecessarily discommode the
Pennsylvania Railroad, but as that corpora
tion had no regard whatever for the rights
of the people, no consideration for the con
venience ot pedestrians and pays no atten
tion to the ordinances already passed, I
believe that something should be done at
once to impress upon the Pennsylvania Rail
road officials that they do not control the
city's streets as well as their own lines. I
have been frequently compelled to wait 10
or 15 minutes to cross Liberty street, at all
hours of the day, and I have seen 1,000 peo
ple stand waiting at the corner oi Sixth
street until the trains were pushed back
and forth for 15 or 20 minutes, blocking
the crossing and preventing people getting
to their work, and oftentimes subjecting
workingmen to the penalty of losing an
hour's or a half day's pay because they
could not reach their posts of duty on time.
The tact that it is a convenience to the busi
ness men is not to be considered when the
convenience ot so nianv citizens is inter
fered with. The business ineu already have
too much their own way, and the
people are put to too much
inconvenience now for the business men's
interests. It is almost impossible to get
along the sidewalks at certaiu hours of the
day because of the business men And tbeir
business requirements. It is time now JLo
consider the convenience of pedestrians 'a
little. There is not another city in the
country that allows any railroad to monop
olize her streets as Pittsburg has done, and
there is hardly another railroad but that
would pay more respect to the laws of a city
than this one.
The vote on Mr. Heating's motion de
feated it and the resolution was then
adopted.
ANOTHER PLEA FOR THEE BEIDGES.
Mr. Robertson also presented a resolution
requesting and directing the City Attorney
to prepare an act of Assembly authorizing
the city to provide n lund for the erectiou of
tree bridges over the llonongabela river, or
to purchase the bridges already erected. The
resolution was unanimously adopted without
discussion.
The question of emoloying foreign labor
upon city work agitated both branches of
Council. Mr. Uigham, from the Finance Com
mittee, presented to Common Council the ordi
nance allowing the chiefs of departments to
employ day laborers who are ncft residents of
Pittsburg when residents cannot be secured,
provided that such laborers are citizens ol the
United States, lhe ordinance was passed
unanimously.
In belect Council the ordinance caused quite
a liscussion. Mr. Anderson moved to in
definitely postpone the ordinance, diving as
his reason that there was no necessity for it.
He was opposed to foreign labor. If the city
would pav enough she could get all the Ameri
can citizens of Pittsburg she wanted to do her
work, bur the right kind ot men could not be
hart for a SI 35 a day. Anyhow, the grading of
parks, etc.. should be let by contract.
Mr. Keating The amendment is necessary
to carrying foi ward public improvements, be
cause there is a scarcity of men. Fifteen or
twenty years :igo there were plenty of men to
be hail tilling all the requirements of the
original ordinance, but that day is passed and
will probably never return. In the rolling mill,
in which I am interested, we always preler
Irish laborers, and next to them Germans, but
nowadays we are unable to get either. The
laboring man of to-day is an entirely different
individual to that of a few years ago. As for
opposing a man because he :s a foreigner, I am
surprised to hear such a sentiment in this en
lightened age. It, does not seem reasonable
that because a man happens to come to this
country and rear a family that his sons shall
have auy rights or preferences over their
fathers.
SOI FIT FOR CITIZENSHIP.
Dr. Evans I favor the amendment because
workmen ot any kind are scarce and laborers
are even harder to find. While I believe in
employing citizens, if possible, I am in a posi
tion to know that it is impossible to get many
ol them. As for making citizens of the people
who come to this countrj, I know of many that
are not intellectually or morally nt for that
honor.
Mr. Anderson demanded the yeas and nays
on his motion to postpone, and it was defeated
by the following vote
Ayes .Messrs. Anderson. Brann, IloTle, l. 1.
ETans, Henderson, McCurry. ilcKlnler, I'crrr
Kobertson, Kohrkastc, Trenscu and ViIson; 12
ares.
"Navs Messrs. Hinder. Krophv, CaTananjh.
Collins, !r. C. Evans. Fitsicimons, Foster,
Keating. Matthews, .Miller. Murphy, McCord,
1'aul, Warren, rord; 15 nays.
When the ordinance was put on final pass
age it w as adopted by a vote of 111 to 8, Messrs.
Brann. Henderson, McCurry. McKinley voting
aye and Mr. Robertson not voting.
The resolution authorizing the employment
of Colonel John Y. Culver, of Brooklyn, as a
consulting engineer and landscape architect in
laying out Schenley Park, at terms to be agreed
upon by Chief rligelow and Colonel Culyer was
next taken up in Common Council.
Mr. Taggart thought aa expert was neces
sary, but the compensation should be fixed by
Councils.
Mr. Hinn saw no necessity for going out of
the "great city of Pittsburg" for a landscape
gardener. He raised the point that the employ
ment of Colonel Culyer would be illegal on ac
count of the ordinance providing that all em
plot es of the city must be residents here.
Mr. Wright moved to indefinitely postpone
action.
DIDN'T WANT A BLOOMING BRITISHER.
Mr. Eigham said Colonel Culyer had had ex
perience in this work. He had understood
tbat a "blooming Britisher" was to be engaged,
but the Chief wanted Colonel Culyer. The city
bas the elephant and must have a groom. To
meet the objections of the members be would
move to amend bv providing that the compen
sation should be approved by Councils.
Mr. Flinn moved to further amend by provid
ing that the landscape gardener should be a
resident or Pittsburg.
The vote was taken on the motion to indefi
nitely postpone, which was lost Dy a voto of 15
ayes to 16 noes.
Mr. Ferguson said landscape architects
should be advertised for. This man's name
was "Colonel Big Salary." Pennsylvania was a
big State, and if a man could not be gotten in
Pittsburg, surely one could be gotten without
going out of the State.
Mr. O'Donnell asked for Chief Bigelow's
view. Mr. Bigelow said he had gone after
Colonel Culyer. the latter had not come alter
him. Colonel Culyer had all the work he could
do. He bad been the original man in Central
Park, New York, and in Prospect Park,
Brooklyn. He was now laying out a park for
Patterson, N. .T., for Princeton and several
other places. The Chief had gotten him to
come here, and, after looking over the ground,
he had said that Pittsburg was millions ahead
in what it now holds. Brooklyn spent G.000.000
in getting Prospect Park in thesbapo Scbenly
Park now is. Central Park cost $40,000,000 for
the same. Colonel Culyer is the foremost man
In bis line in America. He would be here not
over a year, and his services would cost $4,000
or $5,000. The Chief did not think this ex
travagant. MUST FIX UP THE PARE.
Mr. Bigbam spoke in favor of the resolution.
He was opposed to park expenditure, but he
realized that the park should be correctly laid
out, and a good man is needed. As for adver
tising, that was foolish. Professional men
worth employing did not answer advertise
ments. The amendment of Mr. Bigham was
adopted. Mr. Flinn did not press his amend
ment relative to the person employed being a
resident of Pittsburg, and the resolution went
over for printing.
In Select Council the Schenley Park en
trance ordinance was then taken up and on
motion of Mr. Keating was amended so that
instead of the citv agreeing to pay for the 19
acres in three annual installments of t23,00u
each, the citv shall pay the whole sum of
175.000 in the first payment in Mayor next year.
Mr. Keating explained that the City Controller
had objected to the original ordinance, be
cause it contracted to increase the city debt,
and this Councils had no authority to do. The
amendment was simply intended to conform to
the law. Mr. Keating's motion was adopted
ithout opposition and the ordmanco went over
for reprinting.
The following ordinances were passed finally:
In Select Council-Vacating Castleman street,
from Karton to Bidwell streets: establishing the
grade ol Woollayer alley, rrom Thirty-seventh
to TlilrtT-nlnlh streets, anil from Main street to
Friendship avenue: establishing the grade of
Clarissa street, from Madison to Iowa streets: re
ducing the width of Keed street, Trora bono street
to Center avenue.
In Common Council Changing the name of
Conard alleT to Coward street: accepting a sewer
on Arabella street as a public sewer; opening
Klrlpatrlck street and Larimer avenue: grading,
paring and curbing Carver street and Larimer
avenue: constructing sewers on Craig street, Eat
Carson street. Harden allev, Herron avenue.
Mulberry alley, McKee place andsherlden street.
A TOURIST IN TROUBLE.
George IVliltton Arrested Just as He TVas
Leaving for Ireland.
George Wbitton, an Irishman who has lately
resided near Twenty-eighth street, had made
preparations to take his wife and family back
to Belfast. Ireland, his native home, and the
9:20 train last night on the B. & O. had been
selected to carry them to New York. Whltton,
his family and a large number of friends got to
the depot about 9 o'clock. As it came near the
time for the train to start, the Whitton family
were getting out to board the train, when a
dispute occurred between Whitton and the
gateman which wound up by his being placed
under arrest. The station officer called the
patrol wagon and Whitton was loaded upon it
amid many loud protestations from his family
and friends, and sent to the Central station.
The time for the starting of the train drew
near. Whitton's family got aboard and his
friends started down to Central station 'to put
np a forfeit and secure his release. There was
but a space of seven minutes from the time
they reached the station until the train was to
leave, but the wagon had not yet arrived with
the prisoner. Unfortunately for Whitton the
wagon had two calls to answer, one being a
speakeasy on Old avenue, wblcb occupied con
siderable time, and by the time Central station
was reached the train had started out for New
York with Whitton's family on board. He was
at Central station and furious over his arret
as well as somewhat inflamed with liquor. His
friends were furious, too, and they threatened
to sue the railroad companv. They made no
offer to put up a forfeit for Wbitton, and he
stayed in Central over night. Whitton calcu
lated to start on a vessel from New York to
morrow morniug. Ho is resting comfortably
in the knowledge that his wife can pay ber own
way over, and ho can follow on the next toat.

' October 13, 1890.
Peter Shields. Esq- Chairman Committee on Or
ganization: ....
Dkaksir Keplying to your circular letter ora
few davs ajjo. we are proud to say that we are
good Republicans, but Independent enough, how
ever, to repudiate the nomination made lor Gov
ernor hy our party. We will not only .vote, for
PattUon. but will make every effort to reason
others Into doing the same thing.
We are not active politicians, but In the present
Instance we feel It ineumbent upon us to not only
vote according to our own iews, but wlllen
demor to disseminate such opinions as may In
fluence others Into voting for an honest man. We
rejrret that oar college duties prevent us from
giving much time to the cause.
From indications we are verv hopeful that not
only Allegheny countv. but the great State of
Pennsylvania will in -November next assert Its
preference for upright men. regardless or party
lines. Veryrespecftilly,
W. J. White.
Secretary Duff's College.
TIRED OF BOSSISM.

Peter Shields, Esq., Chairman, etc.:
Hear bIR Yours at baud, and In reply I will
state that your lntormation was correct. 1 am
tired or boslsm and Quay.and will vote and work
for the choice of the people. Please enroll my

Wesco, October II, 1890.
Peter Shields, Esq.:
Hear Sir I heartily indorse the movement
being made by independent Republicans or the
State to secure the election of Robert K. Pattlsou

movement. Yours for success,
JOSEPH Bamfokd.
Pittsbubo, October 13, 1890.
Mr. Peter Shields:
Dear Kik You are authorized to add my name
to the long list of independent Republicans who
intend to rebuke tbe one-man power in this State.
There arc dozens of good horcst Republicans In
this ward the Twenty-third who will voto for
Pattison this comlue election, and you may de
pend on this unusuallr Republican ward giving a
majority for Pattison.
ou can use hit name as you see fit. I am not
ashamed, but rather proud to proclaim my inde
pendence. I have the honor to be yours truly,
Joseph l. Davis.
GOING TO TAKE A CANTASS.
The Committee on Organization of the Inde
pendent Republican Committee has started a
secret movement that more nearly approaches
practical politic and a thorough appreciation of
the present condition of political affairs in this
county than any act heretolnre of that body.
With this morning will be commenced a
thorough and systematic canvass of every
election precinct in the county.
In order tbat tbe work projected may be
thoroughly and effectively done, secret agents
are now making a house-to-house canvas, par
ticularly in the country districts, to ascertain
the names of the sympathizers in the move
ment. Each member of the sub-Cummitteo on
Organization bas charge of his own particular
Concessional, Senatorial or Legislative dis
trict, and will be assisted by competent dis
affected party men, who will personally visit
the more prominent Independents whose
names tbey have listed, and ready for prompt
reference. The object Is to get names and ad
dresses, so tbat campaign literature and elec
tion tickets, for vest pocket votes, may be sent
as first-class mail matter, direct.
One of the most prominent politicians in
Allegheny county, and one wbo knows indi
vidually almost every man of consequence m
the country preciucts or the Twenty-third Con
gressional district, yesterday volunteered to
quietly do the work within those territorial
limits.
BOOMING FOE PATTIS01T.
Soutliside Workingmen Claimed to be Solid
For the Ex-Governor.
Ex-Master Workman John Coffey, of District
119, Green Glass League, and George Metzgar,
a well known green-glass worker of the South
side, made an extended tour of that portion of
tbe city yesterday in the interest of ex-Governor
Pattison, and arranged for a meeting, which
will be held at Odd Fellows' Hall, corner of
Eighteenth and Sarah streets, to-morrow night.
Mr. Coffey said that thePattison sentiment in
this city surpassed bis most sanguine expecta
tions, and in this statement he was borne nut
by Mr. Jietzgar.
The estimates of Pattison's strength on the
Southside are away out of sight. A Repub
lican of tbat portion of the city wbo bas been
an ardent party man for years, and who has
been conspicuous in politics for pome time,
said yesterday: "I believe I know as many
workingmen on the Southside as any man over
there, and I can tell you right now that tbey
are out for Pattison in droyes. Tbe foreman
of one glasshouse, where about 100 voters are
engaged, told me yesteiday that he was satis
fied nearly every man would vote for the ex
Governor. At another shop there are75 voters.
Of this number 49 are Republicans in principle.
The foreman told me he had assurances that
every man would vote for Pattison.
"In ordinary elections the Southside is good
for 1,200 Republican majority. If it does not
give Pattison from 2,000 to 2.500 majority I will
nay you a new bat. Many people put the ma
jority at 4,000 or 5,000, but I am making a care
ful estimate based on wbatl have learned after
a thorough survey of the field. I have lived
over there for 40 years, and bavo a wide ac
quaintance with the workingmen, and I toll
ou I never saw such a revolt from the regular
nominee in all these years."
Tbe gentleman qnoted above declined to
have his name used, but he is thoroughly re
liable, as hundreds and hundreds of men in
both cities will testify.
STILL N0MINATIHG.
Two Democratic Candidates for the Legis
lature Named Vesterday.

Months' Shutdown.
The Vulcan Forge and Iron Works, at Char,
tiers, was started up yesterday, after a shut

muck rolls have been removed anda new three
high set has been put in Its place. In the pud

"What the Revision Committee Will Do To
Day Before Their Adjournment of Tills
Meeting Some Radical Changes Ap
pearing In the Confession of Faiths'
The revision ot Chapter HI on foreordina
tion wa3 finally finished by the Presbyterian
General Assembly Committee yesterday and
though it is not ready for public inspection,
Chairman Koberts vouchsafed the informa
tion that there were some very radical
changes made. The report of the sub
committee on Chapter IV was received and
adopted. The changes in this chapter were
also qmte numerous. The ninth chapter was
then taken up, but its final consideration was
postponed until the Washington meeting is
opened.
Judge Strong received a telegram calling
him to Washington on account of the illness of
Justice Miller, a very firm friend of Judge
Strong.
The meeting will close to-day with the ad
journment at 5:30. That matter was fully de
cided upon at the meeting yesterday afternoon.
To-day the committee will take up the tenth
chapter referring to tbe final disposition of in
fants and idiots and there Is little doubt, but
tbat they will be consigned-to a much better
fate than has heretofore been their lot. One of
the ministers said yesterday, tbat some very
radical changes would be made in this chapter
and it will hereafter be mncb less severe on
those who happen to die young or be born
idiots.
THE UNIONTOWN UNKNOWN.
He Turns Out to be Mr. Slattery, Once Known
as a Boston Man.
Murder will always out, and even slick sprint
ers cannot prevent it. Of course, the term
"unknown" is used in a modified and illustra
tive sense because of the old adage. There has
been an unknown sprinter in Uniontown for
some time, and he bas cither by his own orders
or those of others been introduced to the citi
zens of Western Pennsylvania as "Stibbo,"
"Boyd," "Grant" and 'other aliases. The un
known, according to the most authoritative
source, turns out to be Mr. Slattery. of South
Boston. The public knows Slattery as a
sprinter. He is not a champion nor is be an
inferior man. Slattery is a good runner, and
as a sprinter has no apparent well-meaning ob
ject to be in Uniontown looking for races with
"Cherry" and other persons who use aliases.
Uniontown is one of tnc best of sporting towns
in Western Pennsylvania; everybody there
seems to delight in an honest contest, and they
are alwavs ready to f nrnish the price for such
events. The only thing that will ruin Union
town's good name is to In anyway be connected
with "ringers."
If Mr. Slattery is yet in Uniontown, or any
where else for that matter, in request for an
honest race most assuredly be will always get
one If he declares himself in an honest, open
and reasonable way. Slattery is a good runner,
and If he can go to Washington, D. C, and
beat Owen's record of Saturday last he will es
tablish his name as a first-class sprinter. In
formation has come to this .paper that the
"Uniontown unknown" has been showine the
good-hearted citizens there "100 yards in 9
seconds." Mr. Slattery cannot do that.
TO VOTE OE NOT TO VOTE.
That's the Question Bothering the Reformed
Presbyterian Presbytery.
This afternoon at 1:30 o'clock the Presbytery
of the Reformed Presbyterian (Covenanter)
Church will open in Wilkinsburg. Although
tbe avowed purpose of tbe gathering is without
any particular significance, being mainly for
routine busneS3, it is known tbat weighty mat
ters will come up to be discussed earnestly,
and perhaps bitterly, before the adjournment.
Tbe two factions that have for so long existed
in the Reformed Presbyterian denomination
will be pitted against each other in the arena
ot open debate, and the younger members of
the Presbytery who oppose some of the doc
trines of the church will be forced to defend
their position or beat an inglorious retreat.
The question that is exciting so much in
terest in tbe forthcoming meeting of Presby
tery is whether members of tbe Reformed
Church should be allowed to vote in civil
elections, in face of the fact that tbe name of
God is not mentioned in the Constitution of
the United States. The privilege ot tbe ballot

EETUENING FB0M THE WEST.
President Harrison Made Thirteen Speeches
on the 13th.
President Harrison and his party arrived in
this city last evening on the return borne from
the Western trip. His private car was attached
to tbe Eastern express, and his stay at tbe
depot was very sbort.Senator Quay was in
one of tbe forward can. but he didn't know
that the President occupied the rear coach.
Secretary Tracy, 'Llge Kalford and several
newspaper men made up the balance of tbe
party.
When asked about politics, or the possibility
of holding an extra session of Congress, Mr.
Harrison remarked that this fall weather was
verr beautiful in spite of tno rain. He added
tbat he was well pleased with his trip, and he
was now ready to go to work.
Tbe President has been on the road eight
days, during which time he traveled 3,000
miles and made 40 addresses, and yestcrdav
broke all records by speaking to crowds 13
times. During his campaign of three months
he only delivered twice as many. Few people
kuew tbat the President was to pass through
the city, and the crowd at the depot to see
him was very small.
Telegraph dispatches from various towns .in
Ohio and Indiana tell of entbnsiastic re
ceptions to the Presidental party while en
route to this city. At Crestline, O., a message
was received concerning Justice Miller's con
dition, which visibly affected the whole party.
One of the longer stops was made at Mansfield,
Senator Sherman's borne. The President took
every opportunity to present Secretary Tracy
to tbe cheering thousands, who bore his honors
meekly. Tlie party is expected to reach Wash
ington early this morning.
BUYING UP EVEBYTHING.
The Pittsdmrg and Western Road is Elbow
ing Its Way for More Room.
Some months ago The Dispatch noted the
large purchases of property on the Allegheny
river front by the Pittsburg and Western road

trackp, made necessary by increased business,
and the work of acquiring real estate is still
going on Tho company has bought eveiy
dwelling and property between tho two bridges.
Herr's Island and the Ewalt street bridge at
Bennett'' station, on the north bank of tho
river. The houses have ail been torn down, the
low lands have been filled up and every space is
occupied with new side tracks.
Even tlie old office building of tho Millvale
Iron Works had to be moved some distance.
The many sidings are used for shifting freight
to and from the connecting lines tbe Balti
more and Ohio over tbe Junction, the West
Penn and the Allegheny "Valley road, which is

PRIZE ESSAYS READ AT THE MEETINGS
The laundrymen of the United Slates and
Canada commenced their annnal meeting
yesterday at the Monongahela. Tbe morn
ing and afternoon sessions were taken up
with preliminary work, and at the evening
meeting a number of prize essays were read.
Thirty-two new members were admitted into
the association.
President Doremus, in his annual report,
made an attack on the Chinese laundrymen,
and referred to the benefits of the associa
tion. He alluded to the good standing of
the laundrymen in New York by reason of
their union, also the fight against a cut
rate laundry concern in Chicago, which was
won by reasonable combination.
CANNOT FIGHT THE CHINESE.
.Referring to the Chinese association. Presi
dent Doremus said that they could not as a
national association openly fight tbe Chinese.
They would have to contend with the press and
ministry. Local organizations, however, could
do much to suppress them by quietly working
with landlords and tenants in buildings where
tenants are permitted to occupy rooms and a
resnlt whereby landlords would refuse to rent
Chinamen rooms. He recommended that the
association lay out the country in districts and
appoint delegates to visit tbe cities in tbeir dis
trict and arbitrate the differences as to price.
The evening session of tbe association was
elven to entertaining exercises. A number of
papers were received and read on questions of
interest to the laundry business, in competition
for prizes.
Papers were submitted on "Cash vs. Credit,"
"Cleanliness and Order," "Work and Win."
"Progressive Ideas," "The Chinese Question"
and "Decisive Battles," by various members
whose names were withheld. "The prizes offered
were three gold medals. The papers wore re
ferred to a special committee, who will report
tbe winners to-day.
The man who wrote on thn Chinese qnestlon
handled the Mongolians without gloves. His
ideas were similar to those advanced by Presi
dent Doremus. It was soon discovered that the
heathen Chinee is the thorn in tbe flesh, and
tbe laundrymen would like to see him out of
the business. Tbere are abont 7,000 steam
launderies in America, employing 95,000 hands,
who earn annually $30,000,000. Three years ago,
according to figures furnished, $14,730,000 were
invested in lanndrie. and since then the busi
ness has greatly increased in value and invest
ments, EXTENT OF COOLIE LABOR,
The association claims that at least 250,000
Chinamen are working at tbe trade in this
country, and tboy make 127,000,000 annually.
Their canital is said to be not more than 53-50,-000.
All large cities hare their Chinese laundry
men, but they swarm in Western towns and
especially along the Pacific coast.
The essays on cleanliness in laundries and
tbe credit system were quite interesting. The
people who imagine tbat laundries arc disagree
able places will be much surprised if they visit
one that is well conducted. The writer urged
on all laundrymen to keep their places as clean
as possible. The credit system, of course, was
denounced; laundrymen, it seems, have been
nipped as well as other people.
The reading of tbe papers was interspersed
by an essay on "A Laundryman's Dream," by
C. A. Boyce; a song by William Pierra, and
music by tbe orchestra. This afternoon and
evening the delegates will visit the iron mills,
glasshouses, etc., and places of amusement.

Finest Piano lEicr Plaj ed Upon.
Such was the enthusiatic comment of the
possessor of a delicious piano which he had
just purchased at the musical establishment
of Mellor & Hoene; then followed a disser
tation upon the singing quality as valuable
in expressive piano playing; the evenness
of tone; the perfection of the "harp" at
tachment, which is not only effective in con
trolling the strength of tone, but in re
ducing the wear aud strain upon the in
strument; the superb "action" responsive to
the lightest touch, yet revealing its capabili
ties for all the requirements of the player
endowed with immense strength; then the
beauty of the cases came up, with their ex

THE CLOSING WEEK OF THE EXPO OPENS
WITH A RUSH.
Wonderful Mechanical Birds Scotch Night
Tlie Patriotic Societies to Turn Out
Wednesday Night Voter Give Opinions
on the Establishment of a Polytechnic
SchooL
The closing week of the Exposition
promises to be truly a crowning week in the
way of attendance. Last night's crowd was
very large. To-night the band will play
Scotch music, and to-morrow night a pro
gramme of American airs has been prepared
In honor of the attendance that night of mem
bers of all tbe patriotic orders, such as the Jr.
O. U. A.M., Patriotic Sons of America, and
kindred orders. A large crowd is expected.
Last night the feature was Director lnnes'
mechanical birds. The birds are such a won
derful imitation of feathered songsters that
three feet away a person would easily mistake
them for live birds. Yesterday Director ln
nes placed one of the cages on a tabln in the
office and the birds would break into song at
irregular intervals so perfectly that one would
hardly have been surprised to see them
plume their feathers or commence picking at
the bars of their prison.
It is needless to say tbat the voters at the
Expo last night were in favor of the establish
ment in Pittsbnrg of a polytechnic school.
The new department In the Western University
has served to more fully awaken thought on
the question. A number ot voters ivrote, "Yes,
locate it on tbe Southside." Many were the
remarks in the affirmative. The only negative
remarks were, "Too many workmen now."
"Money wasted to prodnce theoretical work
men." Following is to-day's band programme:

Arthur Kirk & Son's Exhibit.
Only a few days are left in which to ex
amine the large working model of a lock,
which model is 28 feet long, 12 feet wide and
10 feet high. So many people there are to
whom a model is nothing more than a blank
wall, unless they can see how it acts, and
why it acts, so tbat they can duly appreci
ate this one, when the gates open and shut
and when they can comprehend from the
rising and lowering of the water just how
this remarkable and most valuable inven
tion will operate in actual use.
Bivermen and all whose business is con
nected with river traffic or canal transporta
tion are greatly taken by this practical,
simple patent which can be built so easily,
so cheaply, so durably, and which when
constructed will save so much time and
money. People were glad to have the old
slackwater systems; they did well in their
day, but their day is not now, and it is ex
pected that this new patent will entirely
supersede all others in this nection, and if
it proves, as it must, a success here, where
tbe waters fluctuate from roaring floods
to stretches of sand and gravel dur
ing summer, why then what easy
triumphs if will win where the streams
are more equable. It is surely
a grand invention and visitors will find it
to be their own loss if they do not at this
time become acquainted with its mode of
action and merits.
There is a species of fascination in those
steam drills belonging to this exhibit, which
work away with .such persistence and regu
larity; they can't be said to conduce to con
versation as they go pounding on without
cessatiou, but they are so entertaining and
so full of business that yon only want to
watch them and wonder at their resistless
force. Messrs. Kirk & Son have made a
powerful impression with the valuable mat
ters seen in tbeir display; people are usually
content to show one, or maybe two good
fiatents and models, but these gentlemen
lave gone into these instructive, time,
money and labor-saving apparatuses in the
most wholesale mnnncr, and they are to be
congratulated and commended for tbeir
energy and enterprise.
EXPOSITION PEOPLE LEAVE,
And Call at Kleber Bros.'
After viewing the splendid sights at the
Exposition most of the visitors (who mean
business) call at H. Kleber & Bros.', 50G
Wood street, and select one of their superior
pianos and organs. They know in their
hearts that to make a fine show is one thing
and to give people the very finest instru
ments nt the mice of tbe common second
class goods is quite another thing. The
Messrs. Kleber & Bro. enjoy the fullest
confidence of the public, and whether they
exhibit or not, whether they hold forth on
the principal business street of P ttburg,
Wood street, or in Diamond or Virgin
alley, the public will seek them out and
congratulate themselves that they have
fourttl out the place which is utterly safe and
reliable, and above the sharp tricks of new
houses which have come in at the eleventh
hour and which have to rely upon the
credulity of the public to get rid ot their
goods using clubs and other knock-down
arguments to bulldoze their callers into
buying their inferior wares articles which
the Kleber Bros, had long since rejected as
unworthy of being associated with their
honorable record and name. Such pianos
as Steinway's, Conover's, Opera, Gabler,
Emerson, and organs such as the great
Vocations, Earhuff dust-proof and Burdett,
cannot be duplicated in this country.
Klebers give au eight-year warrantee and
sell on easy time payments.

SUPREME COURT WORK.
Jndge Williams Makes an Important Point
In One of His Opinions Nine Cases
Decided Numerous Arguments Heard
in Cases of Minor Importance.
Nine opinions were handed down in the
Supreme Court yesterday; two by Justice
Williams and seven by Justice McCollum.
All were in cases from the Eastern district.
With but one exception none of the cases
were of general importance.
In the case of Stephens against Gilford
et a!., appealed from the Common Pleas of
Erie connty, the decision of the lower court
was reversed. In his opinion Justice Wil
liams holds tbat if a seller delivers the goods
without receiving the price upon delivery of
possession he takes the risk of integrity and
solvency of the bnyer. If the buyer pays the
price without taking posseslon of the goods
he takes the risk of the Integrity and solvency
of bis vendor, and a subsequent bona fide pnr
chase'will take a good title to tbe goods. The
other cases disponed or were as follow, all ex
cept tbe first being bv Justice McCnllnm:
