BTHHBlHRPVi THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH, MONDAY. NOVEMBER 10. 1S90. TWO GAY RUNAWAYS Beaded Off by Pittsburg Officers While on Their Way to the Free and Boundless West TO WirE OUT THE KOBLE KED MAN. Chasing Truant Boys Who Eare Failed to Learn That There is No Tlace , Like Ilome. - LITTLE TEAYELEES WITH EECOKDS. A Tocag Girl Who Eooa (h-trame Her Fetr of In- pruosmest. The troubles of the Pittsburg Police De partment are not wholly caused by the in discreet actions of hardened criminals. The rising generation adds its share toward keeping the officers busy. The geographical position of the Gas City is unique. It lies on the high road from the circumscribed and effete East to the wide and boundless West, where the bar baric red man is rapidly ripening for the small boy barrester with a ?2 revolTcr and a barlow knife.: Young America, after imbibing the prin ciples ot freedom from the Fifth Header in the Third ward school of Hcboken, X. J., refuses to allow parental restraint to curb his bold spirits, and determines to add lus ter to the Stars and Stripes by hewing his way to glory. Buccanneering having be come unprofitable, owing to the tariff, tele granh and revenue cutters, the aspirant for fame turns his eyes toward the setting sun, and in the reflection of the last rays of that glowing orb as it sinks beneath the wares of the Pacific Ocean, sees himself mounted on a fiery mustang, chasing buffaloes and Indians, and rescuing enough fair maidens to start a successful seminar. THEY 1VERE TIKED OF SOAP. The latest to arrive of these young seekers after fortune and fame, were Howard "Wood ruff and Isaac Johnston. Detectives Rob inson and Fitzgerald ran against them yes terday, and after a Drief, but satisfactory, cross-examination, placed them in the Cen tral station. Howard is 11 years old, and is the ton of a wealthy soap manufacturer of Trenton. Is. J. Isaac is 16 years old, and was employed in driying a. wagon for "Woodruff. The boys were well provided for an ex tended sojourn on the prairies. They pos tessed an old-fashioned revolver which car ried a bullet about the size of a pea, and which would doubtless Drove fatal in the hands of an expert marksmen, who was also a first-class anatomist. In addition to this each carried a knife and a box of matches. Simon, as the treasurer, clung to a $1 bill. while Howard assumed the possition of sut ler, and to prevent any danger of starvation, when buffalo were coy and game generally scarce, carried a $3 lunch ticket on a Pitts burg restaurant. The ticket was not intact, everal meals of pie having been punched out of it. SrOTTXD BEAK IS SArE. The friends of the boys have been com municated with, and Spotted Bear and his renegade allies will continue to scalp the white dogs without let or hindrance. Scarcely a day passes that the Pittsburg police are not notified to head off a boy who yearns for life on the plain;. Last week one youg lellow was pulled out of a sleeping-car at the Union Station. He had unostenta tiously borrowed 100 from his father in Jersey City, and was on his way to see the world. He will have to wait awhile before be rivals the Captain Cook act. Detective Bendcl has considerable ex perience in capturing boys. Most of them are truants from the Morganza Beform School. These boys do not complain of their treatment; in fact, Officer Davy Hanna thinks the runaways are treated better than ibey care for. They want to get back to their semi-nomad life selling papers, blacking shoes, pitching pennies, sleeping in dry-goods boxes, and generally enjoying themselves, without restraint, in their own peculiar way. Detective Bendel has bad some funny ex periences in catching these runaways. The other day he went out to Bloomfield to cap ture a refugee. The father ot the boy Jiad engaged some private detectives to find the boy, and they were at the house deploring their lack of success when Bendel arrived. TOO SMART TOR HIS TATHER. The latter walked through the bouse and into the yard and there found the lad fast asleep in an outhouse. The private detec tives and the father were crestfallen, es pecially when the boy confessed that he had been loafing around the premises for two weeks, sleeping in the daytime and doing business with his father's larder at night. Another boy ran away from Morganza, and climbing into a farmer's wagon, as he thought, unperceived, rode several miles. Finally the farmer met three men, and asked them if they wanted to make 10. This is the regular reward for returninga Morganza refugee. This struck the boy as being om inous, and. without waiting to hear the re ply, jumped from the wagon and sped like a startled deer across the country. He reacued home by avoiding highways, but. was soon returned to the Beform School by Detective Bendel. Officer Hanna, who bas been a member of the lorce for many years, has had consider able experience with youthful travelers. He was acquainted with one boy who trav eled to Boston and back on a nickel and a copy of The Dispatch. He could not have heeded the warnings contained in the newspaper, as he a terwards landed in the penitentiary lor robbery. A BOY TVITn A RECORD. At one time Hanna took lour members of one family back to Morganza, from which they escaped together. One of these boys, George Glenn, afterward achieved a reputa tion lor himself by terrorizing the hill dis trict lor over a year. During that time Hanna gave up a large portion of his time to pursuing him, but Glenn was desperate and fleet ot foot and lor a long time escaped. He was finally captured and sent to the workhouse for two years. Glenn cot away from that institution, but his ireedom was. dearly bought. He was run down in "Virgin alley by the assistant superintendent oi the Workhouse. Glenn refused to yield and was shot in the lee by the official. The limb had to be amputated and Glenn is now in the penitentiary on one leg. A VERY CHEERFUL GIRL. While girls are generally better behaved than the boys, some of them are very bad, and tbey soon get over their horror oTa cell. Little Annie Dagnall was arrested two weeks ago lor robbing a Butler county blacksmith, to whom she sold a bottle of whisky on Sunday. When she was ar rested she wept bitterly and conld not be comforted. Yesterday Annie was arrested again. She met three little girls on Second avenue, and because they would not tell her where they were going, she picked up a cobble stone and cut a frightful gash on the head ot one Annie was promptly arrested and taken to the Central station, but she was not the shrinning Annie of two weeks ago. She bounded blithely up the steps and into the cell room, greeting the Sergeant in charge with a cheerful "Well, here lam again. Ain't you glad to see me?" And Annie is but 14 yean old. GOING UP SALT RIVER. A Tarty of Jolly Alleghenlans Charter a Steamer, Wlilch Tliey Christen George TV. Delamater A Sail Up and Down the Three Hirers. There was a steamer lying in the Alle gheny river, at the foot of Madison avenue, Allegheny, yesterday afternoon, from whose masthead floated a streamer on which it was proclaimed that the name of the craft was the George W. Delamater, and a ten-foot piece of bunting stretched along the hurri cane deck announced that she was "Bound for Salt Eiver." These was a band of music on the boat, and fully 500 people gathered at the wharf to see who would board her, and to eive them a good send-off. Sixteen cases of beer were aboard, besides other liquors and a lot of game and salads. At about 2 o'clock some 350 residents of Allegheny's Third ward marched up the gangplank, the band on board playing the "Bogue's March." Handbills had been distributed among the crowd announcing that the boat would be manned as follows: Commander, John W. Stacey; mate, Cal Geisler: pilots, Con rad Kohler and George Menke; engineers, Perry Cassidy and Charles Michel; firemen, George Richardson and Henry Klaus; cook. John Klaus; cabin boy, Thee. Barker; deck sweeper, George Berg strcsser; chambermaids, J. A. Buprecht and Henry Hissrich; clerk, TJ. H. Stuaffer; ticket agent, John Fielding; lamp trim mer, Christ Mohrhoft Besides these, sev eral well-known men were named as "roustabouts," "coal heavers,"" mugwumps and people who are afraid to vote," "match men" and "flunkies." The bill of fare was said to be "soup a la coon," "fried coon," "fricasseed coon" and "coon pie." Some of the gentlemen who had been des ignated to fill positions were not present, but that did not appear to make any difference or to spoil the fun. The boat sailed away up to Sharpsburg first, then down the Ohio to the penitentiary and up the Monongahela as far as Lock No. 1, after which it returned about 5 o'clock to the starting place and the passengers disembarked. WORK OF AN INCENDIARY. The House of Franz Croft Set on rire The Family Barely Escape a Horrible Death Rescued Through the "Window The Fiend Seen Running. The house of Franz Croft, of St. Clair township, the man who tried to commit suicide Saturday, burned to the ground yes terday morning about 2 o'clock. It was only by a bare chance that the familr es caped. The fire is thought to have been the work of an incendiary. It was discovered by Fred Lightner, who at once gave the alarm and went to the rescue. The familv, consisting of Croft, his wife, and two of Mrs. Croft's daughter's children were asleep in the second story and their egress by the stairs was cut off, as the fire was burning very fiercely. A ladder was placed against the window, and in that way the family were removed, not having time to don any clothing. The family were asleep, and had it not been for the timely discovery of Mr. Lightner they would un doubtedly have perished in the flames. The house, with its entire contents, were destroyed, entailing a loss of about $2,000, on which there is but a partial insurance in the Germania Company. Croft is the man who, on Saturday, at tempted to commit suicide by cutting some of the veins in his wrist. This fact led to a rumor that Croft had fired the house him self in order that be and his family might perish in the flames. This report proved to be incorrect, Mr. Croft was the most eager of the family to be saved from the flames. An investigation was made by some of the citizens, who state that while the fire was unquestionably of an incendiary origin, Mr. Croft was not responsible lor it. The fire started under the front porch, on the outside of the house, and some ot the neighbors aver that when the cry of fire was raised a man was seen running away from the place. THREE SUNDAY ASSAULTS. An Italian Uses a Knife, While a Boy In flicts a Bad "Wound. Ben Eoeats, an Italian, was arrested yes terday at his home, on Forbes street, near Soho, and locked ud in the Fourteenth ward station, charged with feloniously cntting John Mancio. The latter alleges that Eoeats, who is bis father-in-law, got into a dispute with bim about paying the rent of the house they live in, and pulling a large knife from bis pocket, cut him several times on the right arm and hand. The accused will be given a hearing to-day. Officer Rhodes yesterday arrested Annie Dagnall, 17 years old, who lives in the Yellow Bow, for assaulting a little girl. Three little girls were walking out Second avenue when they were accosted by Annie, but as they declined to speak to her she picked up a stone and threw it at the group. The stone struck one of the girls, cutting a gash in the side ot her head. An nie Dagnall is one ot the girls recently ar rested on the charge of peddling whisky on Sunday. Yesterdav afternoon Alfred Woefel and Daniel Keats, aged respectively 12 and 13 years, became involved in a quarrel near the loot of Fifty-first street. During the fight which ensued Woelel was severely cut in the neck by a stone which, he says, was thrown by Keats. Woefel lives on Stan ton avenue. THE VALUE OF MONEY. A XJttlo rhilosophj- on Financial Hatters From a Broker. "Few men realize the value of a dollar," said a broker last evening who has in recent years made money. "I worked for a long time as chief clerk on an ordinary salary, and it was a hard task to save $1,000. The people to-day who speak of 10,000 in a sneering manner as a small sum are the men that don't have it. Every good business man, though, knows just what that amount of money means. "I will wager that in this city of rich men there are few who can produce 50,000 in cash, if suddenly called on. The man who allows money to lie idle will come to grief. Better to close up the ledger every day with yeu owing the bank, but don't get too far behind. This rule will apply to men who have something to go on, but it would prove disastrous to a poor man. I have made my money on tips, and I have worked them as a reporter would a good item." J0HH FLATLYS BODY FOUND. Remains of a Victim of the Locomotive Ex plosion Discovered in the River. The body of John Flatly, the engineer of the locomotive on the Monongahela Con necting Railroad which exploded at the Eliza Furnaces on October 17, was found yesterday morning by a couple of men who were out skiff riding at McKee's Bocks. The body was not identified until after it bad been taken to the morgue. In the explosion, it will be remembered, the fireman, Thomas McGuff, was killed, and Engineer Flatly was blown over the Eliza Furnace casting house, which is over 50 feet high, and then out into the river, a distance or 200 feet. Every effort was made to recover the body, but failed until Thomas Connors and Thomas Sproul happened to find it yesterday. John Flatly was about 35 years of age and leaves a wife and several children, who reside on Second avenue, Franks town. The body has been taken to the family residence. Two Sunday Raids Made. The police raided John Miller's place on Mifflin street yesterday. Miller and Jacob Laffie were arrested. The same officers swooped down on Charles Beck's bouse on Thirth-seventh street This is the fonrth time within a year and a half that Beck was raided. A hearing will be held to-day. FOOLED TEE FARMER, New York Sharps Turn a New'Trick in the Green Goods Game on MRS. CHARLOTTE BLUME'SNEPHEW Johan Hersch Pays $550 to Obtain an Inheritance of $5,000. A TfEST END FEAST ENDS IN WEEPING A banquet in a West End residence in honor of an heir coming into a fortune was brought to a sad and abrupt termination by the wiles of New York sharpers, who had Introduced a new feature into the "green goods" game. The story has been related to the police, and is a remarkable one. Johann Hersch, a German, had for 1G years tilled the soil of a farm at German ville, Jefferson county, la., and was some what startled and perhaps pleased when he received news from a New York lawyer that his aunt, Mrs. Charlotte Blume, had left him a legacy which could be secured with a little trouble and expense. Hersch knew that his aunt was dead, but did not know that she had amassed a snug fortune by run ning a grocery in the upper part of New York City. Considerable correspondence ensued be tween Hersch and the New Yorker, until finally the latter was told to come on to the metropolis and get his share of the estate, which amounted to 5,000. As Hersch and the New Yorkers were not acquainted with each other, the former was told what train to take and how to dress, in order that he might be recognized. AN IMPORTANT POSTSCEIPT. Attached to the letter was a postscript, informing Hersch that he had better bring along 5550, the amount of the lawyer's com mission for securing the legacy. Hersch had some money and borrowed some more, and with his 18-year-old son started for the East. Hersch has a sister in Pittsburg, who is married to Michael Heinlein, who lives about a quarter of a mile above the Stone Tavern, in the West End. Hersch and his son reached Pittsburg on Monday, com municated his good fortune to his relatives, and on Tuesday started for New York. Hersch arrived at Jersey City about noon on Wednesday, and was met at the depot by two affable, well-dressed men, who quickly disclosed to Hersch that they were the men he had traveled so far to meet. "You must be tired and hungry after your ride," said one of the men. "Let us have dinner betore we attend to business." This suggestion, being both, benevolent and practical, was acted upon at once, and the party went to a hotel where they had a good dinner, enlivened by the congratula tions of the New York gentlemen, EEADY FOK BUSINESS. It was getting late in the alternoon when the man who claimed to be the lawyer in the case suggested that it was time to move. The party boarded a ferry boat, crossed to New York, toot a train on the bewildering elevated railroad, and after riding for about half hour took a carriage, drove a few blocks and alighted in front of a handsome office building. Hersch and his son were conducted to a handsomely furnished office on the second floor, the most striking feature being a large safe. The party took seats, the big safe was opened with a clang, and one of three very similar packages was taken out and placed on the table. "This is your inheritance, Mr. Hersch," said the lawyer. "Allow me to congratu late you upon your accession to fortune." Mr. Hersch replied modestly, and the package was untied, a small wooden box disclosed, which, when opened, revealed an alluring array of greenbacks.- The money was in five bundles, each one secured by a rubber band. The money was taken out and counted by the lawyer and Hersch. There was no deception there was 5,000 in crisp greenbacks. HERSCH PATS THE PItlCE. The money was replaced in the box, which was wrapped up in a nice piece of pa per, and secured by a stout cord. Then Mr. Hersch's attention was called to the fact that he had not vet paid the fee. Mr. Hersch remedied this omission immediate ly, and turned over 550 with all the pleas ure in the world. The party sat and chatted for a short while, until one of the New Yorkers sug gested that if Mr. Hersch desired to return to Pittsburg that evening, he would just have time to make his train. The box was banded to Mr. Hersch, and the lawyer in sisted on accompanying him to his train. When Mr. Hersch reached the depot, the lawyer said: "Now. let me impress upon you not to open the box until you get home. There are always sharpers on board trains, and if they suspect you of having such a large sum of money about you, they will surely rob you." Mr.Hersch thanked the gentleman for his kindly consideration for an unsuspicious farmer, and started for Pittsburg. He and his son reached the Union Depot without a cent except that contained in the little box, and rather than open it in public they walked the entire distance to the home of his sister in the West End. JOT CHANGES TO DISMAY. When Hersch and his son reached the Heinlein residence they found an elaborate banquet prepared and a number of friends gathered to welcome the possessor of a for tune. After a joyful couple of hours had been spent, it was suggested that Hersch dis play his wealth. There was no hesitation, as he was now among friends, and with unctuous deliberateuess he opened the box and showed five tempting bundles of green backs. Slowly he drew out a bundle, slowly skinned off the top bill, a 1 greenback, and then Well, the balance of the bundle consisted of slips of a very good quality of green paper, but nothing more. With fear and trembling the other pack ages were tested, and with a like result The fortune had resolved itself into five 1 bills and several cents' worth of paper. Consternation overcame the erstwhile happy party. Hersch broke down com pletely and shed bitter tears. The sight of his sorrow overcame his friends, and they joined him in his lamentations. Hersch first determined to return to New York and trace 'the swindlers, but when he realized what a hopeless task it would be he gave up the idea. On Friday he and his son returned to his Iowa farm. Mr. Heinlein called the attention of In spector McAleese to the case, and the latter will communicate with the New York au thorities in regard to the matter. GOT IN TO STAY. A Man Arrested for Insisting Upon Visiting a Friend In the Lockup. John Cunningham wanted to visit a friend who was locked up in the Central station Saturday night, but was refused an en trance. He insisted, and finally took ad vantage ofan opportunity to rush in when a couple of officers were going in with a prisoner. Inspector McAleese then ordered Cun ningham to be locked up also, and he was kept there until the hearing yesterday morn ing, when he was released. A New Temperance Society There was a largely attended meeting of the male members of the congregation of St. James Catholic Church, West. End, yester day afternoon for the purpose of, forming a temperance society. Seventy-five members signed the roll and then organized by elect ing Alderman James F. Madden, President; John Keenan, Vice President; William Dauchey, Secretary, and Ey. Father Cos grore, Treasurer. WON'T AFFECT 1892. ' OPINION OF AN AMBASSADOR ON THE CYCLONE OF TUESDAY. Minister Elucoln Talks Abont Uie Repub lican landslide Feople Didn't Under stand thu Tariff The Body of His Boy Buried at Springfield. Robert T.Xincoln, United States Minister to England, passed through the city last evening in a special car in company with Vice President Wells, of the Wabash road, bound for Washington to pay the President r and Secretary of State an official visit. Ho came from Springfield, where he had de posited the body of his only son in the family graveyard. The second burial recalled all the scenes and sorrows when the young man died Inst March, and Mr. Lincoln was feel ing melancholy and depressed. He expects to return to London in two months. He said he liked: to live there, but after all he preferred a residence in his native land. In answer to qnestions about politics he said: "I have heard of the Republican landslide. :! understand the defeat in Penn sylvania wau due to factional causes. I don't think the recent election will have any effect on the situation in 1892. I sun pose in the Northwest, where the people didn't understand the nature of the McKin ley bill, that they got frightened, and voted the other way. In another year or so these fears will vanish when the voters see that the bill was not designed to work against their interests. The English were very much exercised over what effect the measure would have on them. When I was in Ire land the linen manufacturer were talking of removing their plants to America, as were some of the iron men in the large busi ness centers." As for Piesidental possibilities he said that was too far ahead, and there was plenty of time remaining to name candidates. When asked about his letter to Chairman Andrews, he repeated what he had said be fore that he confined himself to Mr. An drews' statement of the situation here. As the election vas over he didn't think it was necessary to '.talk anv more about it. Vice-President Wells, of the Wabash, remarked that the railroad business was good, but it might be better. The roads are not making the money they did this time last year. The rates are higher, and the general tendency is upward, but the traffic is not so heavy. The grain crop to be moved is liht. Mr. Wells, however, is looking for bitter times. CAEIID OUT BY A PICTDBE. An Allegheny German Explains How the Tarty "Was Defeated. In the window of one of the art stores on Wood street is a picture of an average American youngster bearing in one hand the flag of the Union and in the other hold ing two big shooting crackers. A German from Allegheny was admiring the collection yesterday, when his eye lighted on the pic ture of the Yankee vouth. "It is very appropriate," he said to a re porter. "That picture and the 4th of No vember reflect the independence of Amer icans. If it wasn't for these landslides in off years we wouldn't be long a free people. The citizens have declared that one man cannot dictate the politics of the country." "Why, you must be a Democrat." "No, I am one of the blackest Republi cans that ever lived, but in this campaign John Neeb whs the only man on the ticket I voted for. I knew his father 40 years ago, and I think John is honest. Better tack McKinley to the tail of that boys coat, to show how his extreme tariff bill was jerked up by the country. That measure went too far, and will tend to make the monopolist richer. Why increase the duty on tin plate, when we havan't the material in the United States to matte it? The -little tin bucket which my wife used to buy for 5 cents she will soon have to pay 8 for. I am one of those necnliar Republicans, bat I' am just as dead set against free trade." NOT EXPECTING MTJI A Friend of Clhauncey F.IJlack Disappointed (Over His Defeat. . T.

One Man Mysteriously Lost, Together With a Wagon and Team. PITTSBURG POLICE INVESTIGATING The existence of brigandage in the Alle gneny Mountains has been called to the at tention of the Pittsburg police. One of the victims, who is now lying in the Homeo pathic Hospital as a result of his experi ence, is J. W. Magehan, a well-to-do live stock dealer of Johnstown, and who is well and favorably known to horsemen all through Western Pennsylvania. The story he tells is a peculiar one. On Monday last, Mr. Magehan and a friend, John A. Gore, started from Johns town through the mountains to Broadford. They drove a team in a buckwagon and led another horse. All the animals were val uable, the three horses being worth any where from ?800 to 51,000. The men drove along without any trouble until they were within ten miles of Broad ford. Then they suddenly noticed that the horse they had been leading was no longer wiih them. Looking back along the road Magehan and Gore saw the horse, with a man holding the bridle. INTO A MOUNTAIN" DEFILE. The buck wagon was turned around and Magehan and Gore started back to secure the animal. At that moment the stranger sprang on the horse's back and dashed into a narrow, winding path, into the heart of the mountains. When the buck wagon reached the place where the horse and rider disappeared, Magehan alighted and started in pursuit. He had gone but a few yards when he slipped and sprained bis ankle, and was forced to abandon the chase. Magehan and Gore held a council of war. The former was getting lamer every moment, and it was only a question of time when he would have to lay up. Finally it was de termined that Magehan should limp back to a railroad station about a mile away, while Gore should continue on to Pittsburg with the bnck-board and team. Then the men parted, abandoning the stolen horse, and expecting to meet again in Pittsburg on Wednesday. Gore whipped up the team and disappeared in gathering gloom, while Magehan dragged himself to the railroad station and took a train for Pittsburg.. ANXIOUS ABOUT HIS FRIEND. Magehan's foot and ankle began to swell frightfully for lack of medical attention while he was on the train, and when he reached Braddock he got off and sought a physician. After his injuries had been dressed he came on to Pittsburg and went to the Homeopatic Hospital, .having left word for Gore at the St. Charles Hotel. Wednesday came and went and there was no sign of Gore or the buckboard and team. On Thursday Magehau became anxious and telegraphed for tidings of Gore along the route over which he must drive to reach Pittsburg, but no word came of him. On Friday Magehan did more telegraping, in quiring for Gore at every point where the latter might have gone, but still could find no trace or him. After waiting until yes terday Magehan determined to put the case in the hands of the police. Gore was a warm personal friend of Mag ehan, and there is no suspicion of dupilcity on the part of the former. The only ex planation of his sudden and mysterious dis appearance is that he was overpowered and perhaps killed by a member of the same crowd to which the horse thief belonged. and that the horse and wagon are now hidden in some remote recess in the Allegheny Mountains. AN EYE ON WRINGERS. The Latest Object Toward Which the En glish Capitalist is Steering What Local Kepresentatives of Wringer Manufactur ers Think of the Matter. A gentleman tells The Dispatch that the only really alive English syndicate that he knew of was attempting to absorb all the clothes-wringer manufacturing companies in this country. A visit was made to the office of the Eu reka Company, on Libertv street, and the man in charge said he knew-nothing of any English syndicate, bnt had beard that the manufacturers were working to effect a com bination, or, as some people would term it, a trust; the man didn't call it a trust. As the man who gave the first informa tion said he knew of options having been gotten, one being the Empire, on three es tablishments inquiry was pushed of the Erie Company, on Water street, where one of the gentlemen in charge stated that they had under consideration a proposition, and that they would elect whether to take or reject, early this week. It is said that some members of the syndi cate were in attendance at the late conven tion of iron and steel interests in this city, and that the knowledge of the fact came from the remembrance of names of men in attendance, the same names being owned by the people endeavoring to make the pur chases. As a clothes-wringer is a part of the outfit of nearly every well-regulated and equipped family in the United States, and as there are about 12.009300 of those fam ilies, it will be seen that the matter may be of considerable importance to the nation at large. MONEY FOB THE P00B To he liaised hy a Genuine Scotch Evening at Carnegie Hall. The Waverly Society has made arrange ments for a ''Scotch Evening" at Carnegie Hall next Monday evening. The Boyal Edinburgh Concert Company, which is making a tour of this country,'has been en gaged and will give a concert, the pro gramme of which will be made up entirelv of Scotch music.

Three-fourths of the work at this hospital is charitable, and money is needed to care for the poor.

Instead of Getting It, Three Men languish in Allegheny Ceils. Five colored men were found by Officer Miller yesterday afternoon trying to get into a house on Madison avenue, Allegheny. When asked what they were after they re plied that the place was a speak-easy and thev wanted to get in.

The Hoof of the Clinton Mill Hoist Burned Two Districts Called Out and Required hy the Usual Scarcity of Water Over There. Theroofofthehoist.it the Clinton mill caught fire last evening at 7:30 o'clock, and in a few minutes was blazing away at a great rale. Two districts were called out, and the scurrying of the fire extinguishers to the Sonthside created as much commotion as if there really wan a big conflagration in progress. As the hoist is constructed of iron, with very little woodwork, the flames had little to feed upon and were ex tinguished before 9 o'clock. It was as well the second alarm was rung in, for it brought an engine on the scene that could do some work, and made up for the usual deficiency in the water supply. When the engines got to the scene and coupled with the mains they could not get water enough to carry 30 feet, but No. 2 after a time got a grip 'on a better flow, and sent a stream spinning into the top story which quickly quenched the ardor or the flames. Another engine succeeded in getting a mild, 25-foot stream against the lace of the hoist, and kept it there. No. 12 engine also got on a little more steam, and when the fire was pretty nearly out, threw a good volume of water about two-thirds way. Southsiders rejoice in the fact that they have a river alongside, for should a real lively blaze break out some night they are convinced the river must yield the supply that the mains do not. Not much damage was done to the mill. A torch is supposed to have fallen over and ignited the woodwork. The furnace was about half charged, and the night bos:, to secure the furnace against cooling, bad the metal run. It will require about two weeks to make repairs to the hoist. The loss will not amount to over $1,000, and is fully covered by insurance. The furnace is owned by Friend, Hofstott & Co. ONE WAY TO SAVE TIME. How the Connty Courts Could Accomplish More and Better Work. There are lawyers who believe the county courts might accomplish more work and with more satisfaction to themselves if they wonld follow the example of the Supreme Court not in the matter of wearing gowns, but in dispensing with the plebian lunch hour, which breaks into business consider ably under the best arrangements at pres ent, and more so when a juror happens to forget himself. Were the courts to meet an hour later in the morning, it would give county jurors more time to get in from their rural homes, so that they would he saved the temptations inci dent to spending their nights in the city, and they would be similarly saved by filling in time with legal work between the present time of adjournment and that of the late afternoon trains.
