A Scene Between Chief Bigelow and
Howard Morton, Abont the Den-
nistou Avenue Contract
IT MAY RESULT IN A LAW SUIT.
Property Holders Want to See Booth &
Flinn's Agreement, But the Chief
Will XotS how the Papers.
CONTROLLER MOEEOW'S KOTEIGNOKED.
Kr. Bigdow Ssys He ii Sot Coxpdltd to Slow (Sty
Docunecti to Everybody.
Chief Bigelow and Major Howard Morton,
the well-known oil agent, had an altercation
in the former's office, yesterday morning,
and "the scene that ensued was quite fright
ful to see."
A lawsuit m3y be the result of the inter
view, as both men are persistent and stub
born. One that h'e shall see certain records
in the Department of Public Works, and
the other that he shall not see them. The
matter raises the point whether a taxpayer
can have access to contracts and agreements
made between the city and contractors for
public works. Controller Morrow says there
is no written law on the subject, and Mr.
Bigelow refuses to produce the papers only
on an order from Court.
On Monday afternoon Major Morton,
who lives on Denniston avenue, East End,
Trent to Chief Bigelow's office and asked to
see the contract made between the city and
Booth & Flinn for the paving, curbing,
etc, of that street. When the contract was
awarded to the firm its bid was S3 33 per
square yard for paving and 80 cents per
lineal foot for curbing the street. KSSfitiS
OBJECTED TO THE ASSESSMENT.
The property owners along the street did
not object to Booth & Flinn getting the
contract, but they kicked when the assess
ment was made to pay tor the work. The
Board of Viewers went over the ground and
assessed each person owning property on
the street 58 50 per lineal foot or 56 12 per
square yard, including curbing. This is on
one side of the street only, and when it
is stated that the street is only 24 icet wide,
the property owners claim the assessment
'was higher than they could reach. The
matter was fought in the Board of Viewers'
office but that body would do nothing.
Since then the large property owners who
did not cars to put up everything they
owned to pay the ?2j,000, the total cost of
the improvement, have been wording up
the others to investigate the contract and as
certain if everything is all right
It is claimed by the property-holders of
Denniston avenue that the asphalt pave
ment laid by Booth & Flinn, is inferior to
that of others who put in lower bids for the
work before the contract was let Many of
the property owners say the block asphalt
around the Carnegie Free Library in Alle
gheny only cost S3 80 per square yard, and
is a better pavement than the Booth Si Flinn
(roadway, which costs 53 35 per yard.
' HOT VTOEDS OJf BOTH SIDES.
Major Morton was delegated to call on
Chief Bigelow and examine the contract for
the work. When he went to the chiefs
office on Monday he was surprised at Mr.
Bigelow's refusal to allow him to see the
records. Warm words w ere followed by hot
exclamations, and as both gentlemen have hign
tempers the atmosphere in the office became
exceedingly oppressive. Major Morton said he
would see the contract or know why, and the
chief replied that he would know why. After
a number of remarks of a fervent nature bad
been made on both sides Major Morton with
drew. Yesterday morning he called upon Controller
Morrow and asked for a note from the Control
ler to Chief Bigelow to produce tbe contract.
The note was given and the request was word
ed in the Controller's own diplomatic way. Tbe
note paper did not have a monogram and crest
in the suape of a white-winged angel of peace,
bnt it was a polite request, at which only a
heart of stone could not be moved. Major Mor
ton then repaired to Chief Bigelow's office and
delivered the note.
HE, INSISTED OK HIS RIGHTS.
While the chief is always willing to oblige,
and accepts the counsel of the Controller un
dei most circumstances, ho did not do so in this
instance, and refused to deliver tbe goods.
Major Morton said he was there as a taxpayer
and an interested party, and after getting tired
praying for the contract be demanded it. He
said he would be compelled to pay his share of
tbe improvement and had a right to see the
records. He threatened to enter snit against
Chief Bicelow, and it was not a modulated
voice with which the chief told him to go
ahead and sue. Mr. Bijelow Slid he would
show the records to Judge Kwing, or would
produce them upon an order of court, bnt at
the present stage of the game was not doing
business. lie said the people who wanted to
see the contract for the purpose of basing a
Iswsuit upon it, bad tried to worry and harrass
him, and he did not think ho was compelled to
oblige tbem.
Major Morton went to the City Clerk's office
then and obtained a copy of tbe ordinance re
lating to tbe improvement and other informa
tion. He also called upon William Flinn, who
said he had a right to see the contract if he
wanted to.
Major Morton refuses to say anything about
xne matter, nut does not deny that ne and Mr.
Bigelow bad some hot words. The latter says
lie is not afraid of any suit, and until he sees a
reason for producing the city's documents for
everybody's inspection he will not do so.
Further development inav be looked for in the
matter to-d2y. when Major Morton expects to
see the contract.
An effort to secure further information from
Chief Bigelow last night resulted in failure.
DON'T MENTION WEATHER.
The Signal Sen ice Man Evidently Pied His
Case, Yesterday, and Kan in a Few Sticks
of 'Wrong Font Sorts Better Work
Promised.
Elegant weather! Abominable weatherl
and every other kind of weather was the
order of the day, yesterday.
Never did the sun shine more brightly,
and never did the mud and rain spoil more
patent leather shines. It was one great
weather panorama, but the trouble was that
the good weather did not last long enough
to be sufficiently admired, and the bad weather
bung on like grim death.
The scene opened up in the morning with a
dense fog, and when that cleared away tbe
beauties of nature were heightened by a
glorious sunshine that made everyone glad.
The scene shifts, and you and yonrselt without
overcoat or umbrella, trudgmc sulkily through
a rain you could cut with a knife. Soon the
sun appears again, and you had just begun to
congratulate yourself that tbe storm was past
when a huge hailstone caught you in the back
of the neck and brought you down to gloomy
earth again.
You hardly had time to quote enough Shake
peare to do the subject justice before another
chance had taken place and the sun was out
asrain. Bnt it was not for long, and soon tbe
beautiful snow began to descend, though the
poetically inclined youth did not find enough
of the article to "envelop the earth in its
fleecy whiteness."
But such is tbe Pittsbnrg weather, and a
visit to a factory where to many changes can
be made in so short a time would certainly
prove interesting.
Tbe signal service office promised last night
to grind out a little frost and send the ther
mometer down to 45. According to his figures
tbe rain is over, and clear, fair weather is on
the programme.
Work on a Dangerous Job.
The work of lowering the big derricks on the
Government building is very hazardous. Su
perintendent Malone is afraid some of the cuv
lines will come in contact with tbe electric
overhead wires and charge the entire system.
This bappcncl once before.
ENJOYED THEMSELVES.
A Very lively Time Had by the Members of
the Central Board at the Meeting last
Klght Trouble About the Musical In
structors. Tbe Central Board of Education at their
meeting last night had quite a lively time
over the supervisors ot music and the music
question. There are two supervisors of
music, Prof. Binehart and Prof. McGargo.
The former was re-elected in June, but the
latter had considerable opposition, and was
only elected after a contest that lasted for
three months.
When the Committee on Music reported
it presented two resolutions, one providing
that after September, 1891, there should be but
one supervisor of music, and the other giving
the committee the power to assign the super
visors to tbe bchoolj where they are to teach.
Mr. Buckley was on bis feet at once.
"There is a snake in that report" he said;
"the idea is to get rid of McCargo on the South
side." Mr. Holmes moved as an amendment that
after September. 1S91. no supervisor be em
ployed. The Chair ruled this out of order. Dr.
McCandless moved to amend by making the
number three. Mr. Buckley cried out:
"Makoitsix. The only idea in having but
one is to knock out the man who knocked out
the Soothsider." ,
Mr. Keller said Mr. Bnckley had spoken
properly when he said there was a snake in the
report. Mr. Carr said the committee was try
ing to take snap judgment on the board. Mr.
Keller said that there was no dissatisfaction
with existing arrangements, but Mr. McKain
said there was: be was dissatisfied.
Mr. Keller Who do you represent?
Mr. McKain Tbo Mjrso district, and it is
dissatisfied.
Thus the thing continued for some time, and
the Chairman found it almost impossible to get
order. At last the resolution for only one su
pervisor of music was postponed indefinitely,
and the committee was ordered to prepare a
schedule sending the instructors to the districts
who favor them and report at tbe next meeting
of the board.
E. L. Elliott was elected assistant teacher of
science and mathematics in the High School,
and Annie Guttendorf was elected assistant
teacher in tbe commercial department. Two
new teachers in the Hiland and one in the Mt.
Allison district were allowed. There is a total
enrollment of 27,713 pupils. 1,HS more than last
year. There are b$2 pupils in the High School.
The Industrial School Committee decided that
no more prizes should be given in tbe cooking
department.
HOME MISSION WORK.
The Western Pennsylvania Society In Session--Bkcusses
the Keligious Wants of This
Section of the Country Interesting Re
ports, Papers and Sermons.
The Western Pennsylvania Missionary
Society commenced its annual meeting yes
terday in the Hazelwood Christian Church.
There were present 45 delegates represent
ing 21 counties. .Robert S. Latimer occu
pied the chair and H. K and P. Y. Pendle
ton acted as secretaries.
The morninc session was taken up with
devotional exercise and the reading of an
interesting paper by Rev. Frank Talmace on
the subject of "Our Unoccupied Field." In the
afternoon tho report of the Treasurer was re
ceived, showing total receipts during the year
amounting to H.B31 95 and expenditures S4.
5S7 50. Resolutions were adopted declaring
that there is a great need for a church ex
tension fund and such a fund will be had.
Many congregations desiring money are wiilinc
to accept it as a loan but not as charity, hence
tbe resolution.
In the cveninc Rev. T. D. Butler conducted
religious exercises. The report of the execu
tive board was presented by Robert S. Latimer.
It contained a general survoy of the work of
the society since its organization in 1831. Since
then $S,G90.60 has been expended in the mission
work in Western Pennsylvania. The society,
it was shown by the report, had acquired prop
erty worth 12,000, and bad placed in the field
seven missionaries.
An interestine sermon on "missionary work,"
delivered by Rev. J. A. Thayer, brought the
meeting to a close. The session will be con
tinued to-day.
HOETH CABOLHf A'S MHJEBAL BESOUBCES.
investment by Pittsburgers Iron, Gold,
Wood and Precious Stones.
Among those Pittsburgers engaged in busi
ness away from here, who occasionally return to
the city is Mr. Neville B. Dilwortb, who is well
known In tho business and social circles of the
city. Mr. Dilworth has an interesting story to
tell of tbe scene of his undertakings at Mor
gantown. X. C. He represents there interests
in common with several other Pittsburgers in
a vast tract of wooded and mineral country,
over 70,000 acres.
The extent and variety of the resources of
the Western North Carolina region, Mr. Dil
worth says, wonld surprise the outside world.
Gold mining has been prosecuted in the region
for a great many years. The beds ot streams
and alluvial ground yielding sometimes from
S10 to S18 per week to luckyoperatort when
worked in their most primitivemanner. Almost
everywhere in that territory there is gold to be
found in small quantities; and a good many
people are inclined to think that it must be
somewhere near in large quantities. A earnet
mine has been found on the Plttsburrers' tract,
and several of the stones have been cut and
polished in Philadelphia. There is also about
a mile and a quarter of mountain side which is
covered by flexible sandstone the same min
eral which is found in proximity to diamonds
lu South Africa. Beside these are vast quan
tities of iron ore, with coal about 60 miles dis
tant Morgautown. tbe county seat, is CO miles
from Asheville.the health resort of North Caro
lina, and abont 400 miles from Pittsbnrg. It is
one of the oldest settlements of the South. The
peopie clin? to the land with great tenacity,
using it however, for agriculture only, and
seeming to have no interests in its minerals, ex
cept so far as they wash out tbe gold from the
placer deposits in a small way.
The town has a bank and a newspaper, in
both of which the Pittsburgers who have in
vested there are interested, and with which
Mr. Dilworth is associated. He says the coun
try is a wonderful one in many particulars; and
that its development is destined to have im
portant industrial and commercial results.
PENH COMPANY DOCTORS.
Surgeons Discuss the Best Time to Ampu
tate Limbs.
About 16 of the SO or more surgeons of tbe
Pennsylvania Company met at the Seventh
Avenne Hotel yesterday. Dr. J. J. Buchanan,
of thiB city, opened the ball by roasting the
members who were absent He then read a.
paper on the best time to amputate a limb
when nothing else will do. Some surgeons
think it best to remove the cause at once, even
if tbe person is badly shocked, while others
claimed thatit was best to wait until tbe shock
was over. Dr. Buchanan took the latter
position, and a majority of those present
agreed with him.
At the afternoon session President Thome,
of Cleveland, made his annual report, which
contained nothing of special importance to the
public He said that fewer men were killed on
the Pennsylvania Company's lines than on any
other railroad system in America. When told
that tbe deith record ot local roads had aver
aged about four victims per day for several
days, he replied, that bis experience had been
that tbe railroads get In their deadly work in
waves. It Is one of the unaccountable things
in lite.
Dr. Post, of Canton, is secretary of the or
ganization. The next meeting will be held in
Chicago.
PBIS0KERS WITH BOODLE.
Xearly Every Drunk Last Night Had a Roll
With Him.
No better evidence that times aro good and
everybody is prosperous is wanted than the
records from the police docket last night. There
were a nnmber of persons in Central station
with large sums of money on their persons,
and everyonu of the prisoners was a working
man. About 8 o'clock Officer Hendrlck found
George Bader. a gardener, at the corner of
Liberty and Eleventh streets, and at the Cen
tral station a wallet containing EM 93 was taken
from him. Shortly afterward Officer Maxwell
sent in G. W. Dodge, an oil well driller, who
had 161 22 and a "jag" with him. Abont 10:45
Charles Howard, a railroader, was found drunk
at tbe corner of Grant street and Second ave
nue, and he had 297 SO, a gold watch and a
nnmber of diamonds with him. The next trip
of tbe patrol wagon brought In George Mar
tarn, of Allegheny, with $15 05. -

SOME BIG BETS HADE TESTEKDAX
Kev. J. Franklin Core, a prominent Meth
odist divine and ex-presiding elder of this
district, now pastor of the Wilkinsburg M.
E. Church, has addressed the following self
explanatory open letter to Chairman TV". D.
Porter, of the Bcpublican County Commit
tee: W. D. Porter, Esq.:
Dear Sir There came to my hand to-day a
mass of documents' purporting to come from a
soldier to a soldier, and the objectof which was
to secure my vote for G. W. Delamatcr for
Governor. Allow me to say, in reply to those
documents and the committee sending them
out, that in tho first place I do not believe a
respectable and honorable soldier wonld en
gage in any such a small business and cer
tainly not in such a cause.
I have been duped by such men and through
such channels as often as I ever intend to be,
and unless you can give mo better grounds for
opposing Robert E. Pattison than are therein
contained, I shall give him my vote, and use all
honorable means to secure his election as Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania.
I happen to know Governor Pattison, and I
also happen to be perfectly familiar with his
record as a public man. He is not a briber,
perjurer, or forger. Unless you have
better material than Delamater to offer me for
my support, you must take my excuse in this
campaign. I don't train with that "ilk."
THE FRIEND OP THE SOLDIER.
I know that Robert K. Pattison is as good a
friend to the soldier as Pennsylvania ever had
in a Governor; that he was the only one who
had the courage to uncover tbe outrages per
petrated on the soldiers' orphans by the very
"gang" who are now bounding him. With tireless
vigilance he hunted down and bronght to light
.their iniquity, and, as far as was in his power,
visited condign punishment upon those con
nected with it. He was not willing to allow a
set of scoundrels to go on abusing the father
less little ones, and making gain out of the
tears and groans of tbe soldier's child. I know
also that as soon as his successor was elected
a soldier and one from whom the public had a
right to expect better things there was not
another word said for tho soldier's child, nor a
person punished for robbing and abusing them.
It is true Mr. Pattison had the conr
ase to veto a bill that classed every soldier
it affected as a pauper, and so placed his name
as such upon the records of the county and
State, and 1 honor him for it. I'd rather be
buried by the roadside in an unknown grave, to
rest unmarked by tablet or monument until tbe
Judgment Day. than be written down "A
Pauper Soldier," and, as a reward, have a prno
coffin and a bit of granite to tell the story of
my humility ana shame, x nonor tne man wno
had
THE MANHOOD TO BEFUSE
to lend himself to such an infamy. Governor
Pattison made a record as Governor of Penn
sylvania that any man may well be proud of.
There were no Kembles pardoned during bis
administration. There were no bills lost or
left unsigned by him, the object of which
was to lighten tho burdens of the common
people. He entered upon bis high trust with
out ostentation, and he retired from it without
a stain. He was found eqnal to every occasion
that called for executive capacity, and tbe peo
ple were never humiliated with the thought
that the head of the State was a mere figure
head, a tool In the hands of designing men.
He comes before the people to-day with
clean hands ard a pure heart. He is good
enough for me: and as I once fought to save
the country from armed rebels, I shall now
vote to save It from a more dangerous and de
cided enemy political plunderers.

PATTISON MEN QUITE C0KITDEKT.
They Are Meeting All Comers and Betting
Their Money at Evens.
The gentlemen who have positive convictions
on the question of who should be chosen Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania In the coming election
had quite a time of it about town yesterday.
During the afternoon quite a crowd collected
in Quincy Roblson's cigar store, partly to
avoid the freaks of the weather, and it so hap
pened that a great many of them bad their
high-heeled shoes on. What was to all ap
pearances a casual gathering, turned out to be
a meeting of "sporty" boys, each one having a
chip on his shoulder and waiting for a chal
lenge. There was not much waiting to be
done, however. Someone started np an argu
ment on the fight for County Commissioner.
Then a bluff followed. The next jump was to
the state election and then the fur began to
fly, and for two or three honrs thereafter some
very exciting scenes were enacted.
After some preliminary skirmishing a well
known Democrat doinc business near the lower
end of Fifth avenue, offered to bet 51,000 even
that Pattison wonld be the next Governor. He
was promptly taken by a member of the com
pany for JoOOin cash, and certified checks were
given for tbe balance, tbe money to be put up
at 9:30 this morning. Then an employe ot tho
Department of Public Safety got in tbe swim,
and the ontcome of it was that he placed 500 at
evens on Delamater's chances, the other end
being taken by the Fifth avenue Democrat.
Shortly after this a gentleman who is seen
occassionally at Schenley Park, took a hand in,
and the result was that he bet 1.000 even with
two parties that Pattison would win. The
money in this instance was put up on the, spot.
This made a total of $5,000, and the fun did not
stop until another SLOW baa been added to tbe
amount in smaller bets, making tbe grand total
6,000, all at evens. The confidence of tbe Patti
son men in chancing their money In this man
ner was quite freely commented on last night,
and it Is asserted that some more lively tilts
will be recorded before the week Is out.

GLASS HASG0NE UP.
THE FIRST EFFECT OF THE NEW COM
EINATION FELT.
A Circular Out Announcing an Advance of 5
Per Cent in Window Glass Locomotive
Engineers Arriving Other Items of
Interest in the Labor World.
A circular from one of the leading Hew
York glass brokers, received here, is author
ity for the statement that the price of
window glass will be advanced S per cent
from this date.
This marks the first effect of the recently
formbed combination now operating as the
American Window Glass Company, operating
under a charter granted lu Ohio. The company
begins business to-day, though as yet no offi
cials have been elected. The head offices will
be in Chicago, with a branch here. Mr. James
Chamber will very likely be President, and
William Loefuer, Secretary.
A meeting of gentlemen interested in the
company was held in Cleveland on the 9th hist.
Mr. Chambers and Mr. Loeffler were there.
The latter gentleman held proxies for tho
O'Lcarys, Cunninghams and others. Atter to
day glass will be sold only to jobbers, and to
them in carload lets only. Tbe entire product
of all the factories between this and the Pacific
slope will be handled through the central office,
or branch. A uniform rate will be established
and adhered to.
The title of the new company is suggestive.
Its name implies an Intention on the part
of its promoters to consolidate tbe interests of
tbe window glass manufacturers all over the
country. The company controls 1,091 pots, and
the Eastern district, which has 20 factories and
2S8 pots, cannot expect to long hold out in com
petition against its big Western rival. That
tbe latter district will be brought within the
combination is only a matter of time. 'The
American Company will then have coralled the
factories of the country, and will be in a posi
tion to wage rigorous war against the im
porters. The tariff has enabled tbe company
to raise tbe price without fear of foreign com.
petition, and the higher cost of labor, coal and
material In Engladd adds another factor of as
surance for bigber prices for the product, and
a greater consumption of native glass.

Chief Arthur arrived on the Cleveland ex-
Sress last evening, and registered at the
lonongabela House. In speaking for himself
tbe Chief said: "I noticed in a Cleveland
paper, taken from a Pittsburg dally, a state
ment that 1 was a candidate for re-election,
and there was considerable opposition in the
Brotherhood to me. This Is a great mistake. I
am not a candidate, having two years yet to
serve. I was re-elected at the meeting last
year in Denver for a term of three years, and
this is ;my sixth successive term. I
have seen this order grow from 12
members to its present proportions. The
Brotherhood is stronger to-day than it ever was
before,' its numbers having been materially in
creased within the past year. There are now
27,750 members in the organization, according
to the reports received, and there are some
divisions to be heard from. The number of
engineers in tbe country is not more than 30,000,
so you can see bow strong we are. Most of the
engineers on tbe Pennsylvania road belong to
the order. The only two salaried offices to be
filled are the first and second engineers, and
both tbe present officers, Messrs. Ingraham and
Everett are in the field."
Nat Sawyer, of the New York Central, is a
representative engineer. He was the man who
hauled Acting President Webb over the road
during the late strike of tbe K. of It He
praises Webb very highly, and says the papers
have misrepresented him. Whenever the
strikers asked him why he didn't join them, be
replied that he was getting three meals a day
and was satisfied, while they were not making
any.

THE EEVISI0N COMMITTEE GONE.
After Taking Care of the Infants and Idiots
the Ministers Adjourned.
Tho noted divines appointed by the Presby
terian General Assembly to revise the con
fession of faith bade the city goodby yesterday
and failed to give a very great outline of what
they really did while here. The committee ad
journed last evening at 5 o'clock to
meet again at Washington on Feb
ruary i. During their stay in this city
17 chapters have been reviewed and referred to
sub-comtnittees to revise and report to tbe
general committee at the Washington meeting.
A great deal of this work will be done by corre
spondence. Tho work yesterdaywas mostly on the subject
of what is to become of tbe infants and idiots
and while no action was taken Rev. Dr- Riddle
promised that they would bo properly taken
care of and said that there really never was a
Presbyterian minister who believed they would
go any other place than to heaven,
Limiting tho Loads of Street Cars.
The Pleasant Valley Company issued a circu

tbe large crowds which board the cars every
evening at B o'clock interferes with the proper
handling of tbe cars on the steep grades. Mors
cars will be placed on the road as fast as they
can be equipped.

CAUSING MUCH TALE.
City Officials in Favor of an Impar
tial Investigation of the
C1TI SINKING FOND QUESTION.
Select Councilman Lambie Says it Will Do
Good on All Side3,
THE C1TI ATTORNEY. TAKIKG TIME.
There was still considerable talk about
town yesterday regarding Mr. Howard's
equity proceedings, which involved a num
ber of well-known people.
Select Councilman John S. Lambie vas
seen daring th,e afternoon, and expressed
himself qnite freely. He said he was glad
the question had been raised in its present
shape, and he heartily indorsed the ideas
expressed in The Dispatch, that nothing
should be placed in the way of a mil, tree
and impartial investigation.
"It will do good on all sides," said Mr.
Lambie. "If the City Councils have been
pursuing a wrong course foryeare, it is time
that tbe error of their ways was pointed out.
It will not only benefit them, bnt the people
at large. If they are right it will settle ques
tions that have been bandied about in one
form and another for years."
"What do yon think of Mr. Howard's de
sire to have the surplus of something over
$1,000,000 placed where it will yield some
revenue in the shape of interest?"
"Well, of conrse this is a large sum of
money to have idle, and I have no doubt
some of it could be well invested, though
this is a question which can be answered
best by financiers. But, at all events, let
the investigation be carried out to the
fullest extent, as the people generally can
not fail to benefit by it." -
WHY NO HABM CAN ENSUE.
President Ford, of Select Council, said
the proceedings could do no harm, as the
actions of city officials or representatives
should always be open to the most careful
scrutiny. Speaking of the non-interest
bearing surplus of about $1,000,000. he
said he believed some of this money
could be Invested so as to yield a
revenue, but he did not know how much of it
could be used in this manner. He said tbe city
should have considerable ready money on hand
all the time, and as long as the people were
satisfied that this money was secure, he did not
see how the present situation could be im
proved. That this money was seenre, was
shown by tbo assertion of Controller Morrow,
who stated'that every penny of the fund was
intact.
Mr. Ford added that he believed tbe true
secret of tbe suit was to be found iu the pres
ent street railroad war between tbe Duquesne
and Pittsburg Traction Companies. He
thonght he could detect the earmarks of spite
work all through the bill. One strong evidence
of it was to be found in tbe sizing up of certain
members of the Finance Cemmittee. He said
the proceedings were brought in equity for tho
reason that the plaintiff avoided anything iu
the nature of libel suits after the matter had
been sprung upon the puDllc.
City Attorney Moreland was busily engaged
during the greater part ot yesterday dissecting
the bill and preparing to outline an answer.
When seen, during tbe afternoon, he said: "I
can say nothing, just at present, of what the
answer will be. We have 30 days In which to
prepare a reply, and as there is no particular
hurry, I will take plenty of time in which to
do so."
City Treasurer Denniston said it was a mat-
though In common with many citizens, he had
a general Interest. When asked what he
thought about the present disposal of the
million dollars, he replied that It was quite a
lot of money to remain Idle.
SOME POSSIBLE INTESTMENTS.
'I am not prepared to say, however," he con
tinned, "just what disposal could be made of It
In order to make It Interest-bearing. It might
be invested in city bonds, that Is if any can be
secured. I believe they are rather scarce,
though, and bring a very high rate. The Con
troller did succeed in placing quite a large sum
of money in bonds that yielded about 3 per
cent, but what tho outlook is now is more than
I can say. You will have to see him about
that."
There was no trouble in locating Mr. Morrow,
but after be bad been cornered he refused to
talk more than to say that he knew nothing
about tbe supply and demand of city bonds at
present. As a sort of compromise he referred
tbe reporter to bankers and brokers in a gen
eral way.
A call was accordingly made at the office of
Whitney & Stephenson, and the latter gentle
man submitted to a brief interview. He said
that bonds of the city of Pittsburc were only
to be had at rare intervals, and in small quan
tities. This was owing to the fact that most of
them were held in Philadelphia and as fast as
they were taken up and reissues made the
Eastern capitalists gobbled them right up.
"So far as I am concerned
as a citizen and a taxpayer," said Mr.
Stephenson, "I would prefer tohave the money
remain right where it is without interest,
rather than return to the old methods of letting
it out at interest, subject to competition. I
believe the city has lost enough already under
this system, and I would not favor a retnrn to
it, especially as the money at present Js amply
seenred."-
"What are city bonds worth at thenresent
time?" was asked.
"I cannot answer that question. They are so
scarce they are not quoted at all. I am satis
fied, however, that even If an effort should be
made to invest this money where it would yield
any interest, the Controller could not boy bonds
for the sinking fund that would net so much as
3 per cent."
BIGHT IK ON THE CARPET.
Mr. McCllntock Gives Some Valuable Point
ers Abont a Trust Now Being Formed.
A representative of this paper got right in on
the ground floor; on the carpet, as it were, of a
tip that looked at the time as if it might be a
big thing, yesterday afternoon. It -was stated
by a gentleman who does considerable business
among the brokers and bankers that informa
tion had been received from the East of a car
pet trust. In which one or two Pittsburg firms
were to figure. The great scarcity of trusts
made this rumor of sufficient value to warrant
investigation.
A call was made at the firm of O. McCllntock
& Co., and Mr. McCllntock was singled out as a
tareet. He listened attentively as the reporter
cautiously unfolded the scheme, and as the last
detail was concluded raised his head revealing
a countenance which was both solemn and pro
found. Then in measured accents be remarked:
"You may say we are in It for 5500,000.
No flies on that.' mused the reporter, and
having had bis proudest hopes elevated several
feet, he asked with a freedom born of con
fidence and ability to gauge up a good thing
right in sight where the trust was formed.
There seemed to be a shade of sarcasm in Mr.
McClintock's manner as he replied that the
last he heard of it it was in St. Louis, bnt
moving slowly eastward,but when be reiterated
tbe statement tnat tne nrm was In it for $500,
000 the reporter felt reassnred.
"What was the direct necessity for a carpet
trust!" was asked.
"What is the necessitv of a craefcor trnni"
came the rather ambiguons reply. This led to
an explanation, the central thonght of which
was that the writer was not doing the domestic
markets, and in consequence could not answer
with any degree of accuracy. "Wellto make
a long story short," resumed Mr. McCllntock,
'you mav say that wo are in the new Carpet
Trust for $500,000, and that our future Is now
doubly assured.
As there appeared to be a spirit of sameness
in Mr. McClintock's remarks, and having re
hearsed the piece carefully several times the
reporter said good day, and floated out into the
maddening crowd along the avenue feeling
lighter than a cork.

- MORE JARRETT VICTIMS.
A WeU-Knovra Chlcagoan Out Sixty .Dol
lars Bill In Equity Filed Against the
Missing Real Estate Agent Another
Plttsburger Who Was Caught.
It seems that the victims of A. C. Jarrett
were not confined to Pittsburg.
Word was received yesterday from Fred
J. Shaler, a well-known business man of
Chicago, who claims to have been beaten
ont of $60 by the missing real estate agent.
According to Mr. Shaler'b statement, Jar
rett went into his office on August 26 and
represented that he was in Chicago on busi
ness and that he needed money to go to St.
Panl, but that his uncle, J. Jarrett, and bis
cousin. Will Jarrett, Jwere out of Pittsburg
and he conld not reach tbem by telegraph. He
had telegraphed to Henry Shook, but did not
expect to get the money In time to leave Chi
cago, and wanted Shaler to cash a check on tbe
Manufacturers' Bank for 60.
Mr. Shaler is a former Plttsburger, and bo
and Jarrett were well acquainted. Shaler is
now State Secretary of the American Mechan
ics in Illinois, and Jarrett was a prominent
member of one of the Sonthside conncils. It
is supposed he used these facts to aid him in
securing tbe money on the check, which after
ward nroved to be no good. The check was re
turned and accompanied by a letter from
Cashier Berg, of the Manufacturers' Bank,
stating that when the check arrived there Jar
rett bad 16 93 to his credit.
A bill in equity was bled yesterday by
Nicholas Ackerman and Frank J. Ackertnan
against Mr. Jarrett. They stated that there
are two mortgages on record in the Recorder's
office made by the plaintiffs to A. C. Jarrett.
Jarrett, tbey claim, induced them by false and
fraudulent statements to sign the mortgages.
They understood them I to be made to the
Sonthside Homestead Loan and Trust Com
pany, to which they made monthly payments
for the purpose of paying them off. Jarrett
was one of tbe officers of tbe company and ho
completely misled and duped them. Jarrett
represented that the association would pay
John Bostand Nicholas Forst, tho grantors of
the property, $1,700. No money, however, was
ever paid on the mortgages and tbe association
has notified the plaintiffs that they will make
no loans to them. Jarrett has disappeared and
tbey believe that he will never retnrn on ac
count of tbe above and many other fraudulent
transactions, and they ask the court to cancel
tbe mortgages.
Another victim of Mr. Jarrett's is a well
known business man on the Sonthside, who has
discovered bis name signed to a mortgage on a
piece of property that belonged to him. The
amount he loses is $900, and in addition be is
made a criminal without having committed any
crime.

AN APPEALF0R WHISKY.
The Xeadlng Case Heard by tho Supreme
Court Judges Yesterday A Batch of
Cases of Much Less Local Interest Were
Also Argued.
In the Supreme Court yesterday an argu
gnment was heard on the petition of George
E. Sparrow for a writ of alternative manda
mus on the Quarter Sessions Court of Mer
cer county to compel it to grant him a retail
liquor license. Sparrow Is the proprietor of thd
National Hotel in Greenville. In December,
1889, he applied for a retail license and was re
fused on tbe Question of necessitv. His peti
tion was signed by 592 residents, and 870 signed
a remonstrance. It is claimed that there was
no cause shown why the license should not
have been granted, and that the Court ex
ceeded Its authority. In the answer
ot the Court the facts alleged, excepting the
matter of necessity, are admitted. As to the
necessity of a license it was held that tbe ma
jority of the people were against and the opin
ion of tbe Court was that the house was not a
necessity. Many Supreme Court decisions and
the Brooks law were recited and the caseau
gued at length.
Auguments were heard yesterday in thefol
lowinz cases of minor importance:
H. AV. Kills vs the L. S. & SI. S. R. R. Co.; ap
