PITTSBURG- 1S90. ES TO BE FREE, Major Gonrley Will Send a Recom mendation to Councils Asking; Them to Take Measures FOR THE BELIEF OF SODTHSIDEES. His Honor Favors a Tiadact Across the Jlononyahela at South Twenty- Sixth Street. A GKATE QUESTION FOE C1TI SOLOKS. Annus Btporti of All the Deputaents to be rrinted is One Tclune. The agitation for free bridges between the Old City nd the Southside, which has been continued spasmodically ever since the an nexation of our neighbors on the south side of the Monongahela river, is at last to be brought to a climax. Mayor Gourley, as Chief Magistrate ot the city, will include in his annual message to Councils, a recom mendation that some definite action be immediately taken looking toward that end. His Honor's ideas on the subject are yet nebulous, except that he sees very plainly his goal, which is to abolish a system whereby thousands oi citizens are forced to pay tribute for the privilege of returning to their homes after a day spent in toiling for the welfare of the community. He is giv ing considerable thought to tbe subject and will doubtless evolve some plan which will be practical and silence the clamor of the Southsiders, who claim that they only agreed to annexation upon the basis of free bridges. A BDEDEK O THE TOOK. Mayor Gourley, in speaking about free bridges yesterday, said: "Toll bridges with in the limits of a municipality, like toll roads, aie an a hindrance to tbe growth of a community and an evidence of being away behind the times. Many visitors to Pitts burg are disagreeably impressed by being compelled to stand at the end of a bridge, exposed to all the force of the elements, while they search through their pockets for apennr, or else have to break a bill and load themselves down withalotof small change. "Again, it is a heavy burden upon the poor, especially laboring men whose wages are small, and to whom each cent is an import ant factor in the struggle for existence. These men, who wotk for 1 or 51 25 a day, and are compelled by stress of weather to lose considerable time, are forced to obtain cheap houses lor their families. Now, they can't find this in the heart of the city; they must 20 out into the suburbs. The East End is being built up with costly residences, and there are but few cheap houses in that neighborhood. This forces the poor man to the Southside or Allegheny. IMMEDIATE BELIEF SUGGESTED. "Oi course, when I speak of Allegheny, I merely make the reference to convey mv meaning more fully. We must make the bridges free within our own city limits be fore we attempt anything further. "How these bridges are to be made free is a subject for long and serious consideration. The rested interests in these bridges are ex tremely valuable, and the condemnation and purchase of tbem would necessitate the ex Dcnditure of an enormous amount ot money. Terliaps this burden micht be made easier by the creation of a sinking f and, but I have no- C"t so far as that yet in considering the subject. "xo afford a great and immediate relief to the Southside, I think a free bridge should be built acro the Monongahela nver to South Twentj-sixth street. As it is now. a Soutbsider who wauts to reach Hazlewood or tbe East End has to come clear into the city and then almost retrace their steps. I believe there is a skiff ferry tliat is sometimes used, but that cannot accommodate the larce amount of travel wLicb would take advantage of a bridee located at that point, and it will undoubtedly open up a large amount of territory in the Twenty-third ward to settlement by Southside mill w orkers. "The question or building bridges Is. how ever, one for Councils to decide. In conversing with a number of the members I have found them generally in favor of some such project which would relieve tbe residents of a large section of our city from tbe petty annoyance, to say nothing of the expense of payinc I or 2 cents ever time they want to cross a bridge." AnKASCttG THE ASKDAL EEPOEIS. The Major held conferences with Controller Morrow and Chiefs Bigelow and Brown yester day in relation to the printing of annual re ports of tbe various departments. Heretofore it has been tue custom for each department to have its own report printed and i?ued inde pendently of the others, but last week the Mayor sent a communication to the chiefs sug gesting that it would be better and cheaper to hate each department submit itsannual report to him and then he would have tbe whole Doui.d in one olume. Chief Elliot did not call to confer, but the others and tbe Controller seemed to agree with the Mayor's- suggestion and it will probauly be followed In the reports of tbe citj for the present fiscal year. Another report will be made at the end of December, for the ten months of the fiscal year then passed, but this will be made sininly for the benefit of the Committee on 1'inance which will uc it as a basis for the appropria tions for 1SU1. Under the new charter ordi nance these reports are first submitted to the Jlaj or and bj bim sent to Councils. Thee re ports cau not be used as a part of the annual report of the citj. as they only cover ten months of the city year, but in submitting them the Jlajor will include a message to Councils giving his views on municipal affairs, with suc gestions to the Finance Committee.

Ship Canal Commission Heady to Eeport to the Goremor. ALL THE MEMBERS FULL OF HOPE. Thejr Think tlie Facts They Have Unearthed Will Prove Convincing. SOME YERI IKTERESTIKG STATEMENTS After months of effort expended in col lecting figures and statistics on tbe proposed ship canal, the Commission has its'arduons duties about completed. Colonel Roberts will make a final tour of the Beaver valley route this week, another meeting, will be held at which the estimated cost will be agreed upon and other details attended to, and then the report will be sent to Governor Beaver, who will treat upon it in his final message to the Legislature. Colonel Boberts, in speaking of the pro ject, yesterday, said: "As our work draws to a close, we are more and more convinced that the project is one of the grandest in the his tory 6? the State. It is absolutely practicable, in fact, so far as the engineering is con cerned there is not a single obstacle in the way. It is straight sailing from start to finish, and the water supply is unlimited. The cost as compared to othsr great works of the kind is small. Mr.Brewer, one mem ber of our commission, estimates it at $25, 000,000. I am not prepared to say these figures are right in round numbers, but I guess they are not far out of tbe way. THE EXACT COST TO BE KJfOWIT. "At all events, the canal will not cost a dollar more than our report will show. Now in Manchester, England, for instance, they are spending $100,000,000 in an enterprise or this very nature to overcome the same disadvan tage, viz., the transfer of freight. "The creat trouble is, people in general, do no not take In the magnitude and Immense ad vantages of this waterway. The older inhab itants measure it up by the old State canal with its hundred odd locks, and boats that had tbe remarkable capacity of 65 tons. Others sav that canals are old fozy and too slow, while others have no ideas at all about them. We are told every day that our present railroad systems eclipse tbe canal idea in speed and capacity. "Now, let me tell yon, our report will show some facts tbat will open the ejesof the peo ple, and particularly business men. who should give this matter more attention. It will show that vessels of 1,500 tons burden can be sent from Lake Erie through the entire length of tbe canal in 24 hours. There is nothing slow about this is there? With the canal it will be straight a ay work and no side tracking. There will be 49 locks, but no locks in an engineering sense, not after the old methods. Now what Is the history of tbe railroads. The average time ot freight ship ments including transfers is n'nntit fnnr Havs and it more often exceeds this time than falls below it. Coal and iron come under the head of low grade freights, and they must always give preference to the higher classes. They niiiuuuutriiieiiuDuei a uouinc summer sun nor waste away beneath the chilling blasts of winter, and it is the easiest tbing in the world to drop the cars in on a sidetracK. In cases of rush of business, and they are becoming moro and more frequent, these Instances always oc cur. THE SLOWNESS OF FREIGHT IRAISi "Let me give you an example. A short time ago I ordered some stones shipped to this city from a point 40 miles from here, and between this point and Cleveland. Now how long do you suppose I had to wait forihenir Just six days, and yet people will tell ns ship canals are slow and old foggy? The trouble is. the rail roads are overrun with freighttrafftcdurlngtbe greater part of the year, and shippers will tell ou of thousands of instances like the one I just recited on their through business. 'The commission has devoted any amount of time gathering statistics. We saw from the start; or rather after the completion of the sur vey, that so far as the engineering was con cerned it would be easy, and we besr time to look at other leatures. Our report will show another big point, and tbat is the railroads can not compete with the canal In the matter of cost or tiansportation. We know what every pound of ore costs mill men atprcsentfromthe time it leaves tbe mines until it rpaehpsthitritr f,ri We Will Show lust hoWTnuch rhpinprftnnlin lauded by the canal. We have a mass or most valuable and reliable facts and they will as tonish business men, but thev cannot be given out just at present. 1 will add that a most searching study of the project proves it to be one of the most magnificent things for business generally that has ever been developed in Penn sylvania." The advantages and disadvantages of the other routes surveyed will also be included in tbe report, and they will'be given a fair and impartial chance. JOSEPH SUE SUICIDED.

Mr. Hunter called at The Dispatch office yesterday afternoon and in a conversation regarding his Michigan colony of Pittsburgors, said: "It will be remembered that a meeting was held in City Hall, Allegheny, to devise ways of relieving tbe distress caused by the business panic I presided at tbe meeting, and after ward as an experiment took 45 families to Michigan at one time. They were composed of glass blowers, rolling mill men and laborers. I hey settled about six miles from Travis City. In the forest of beach and maple.

Old Grain and Live Stock Schedules to be Restored in a Week. As stated in The Dispatch a week ago would be the case tbe rates to St. Paul and Du luth from Chicago were advanced yesterday. The iron rate was put back In the fifth class, which will make the tariff from Pittsburg to these points 18 cents instead of 12, an increase of 50 per cent. The average advance on all classes Is about 25 per cent. On the 24th the old grain, dressed beef and live stock rates will be restored. The fight between tho Lake Shore and Grand Trunk re sulted in a big reduction last summer, and after many moons tho roads are once more united in peace. The basis of rates from Chi cago to New York for dressed beef will be 45 cents per 100 pounds; cattle, 26 cents: hogs and sheep, 30 cents; horses and mules, 60 cents; corn, 22 cents: grain, 25 cent. Tho Pittsburg rates will be figured on this basis, .ind is nn. siderable grain, live stock and dressed beef are shipped here the advance will, of conrse. affect the trade. The Pittsburg committee or freight agents will meet to-day to arrange the grain rates for Pittsburg. Some minor details in classification which have accumulated will also be attended Tbe railroad business has been so brisk for the last three months tbat the lines are very much elated with the returns, and the general tendency of rates is upward. Railroad men regard this stiffening in tariffs as a sure sign that the country Is prosperous, and it is hoped this state of affairs can be maintained. CONGBESSMAN BOBINSON NOW. The Media Hustler Makes a Few Remarks About the Lato Election. John B. Robinson, Congressman-elect from Media, is at tbe Monongahela House. He pulled through with a majority or oyer 4,000, and is not afraid of being unseated. "I sup pose," he said yesterday, "we will feel very lonely in the next House, but the new mem bers will have a good opportunity to show their metal. This was a most peculiar landslide I don't think tbe McKinley bill is to blame. "I believe the reason whv so many Republic ans were knocked out was because they had to stop at Washington to help make up a quorum and couldn't go home to fight their battles, like the Democrats. The latter practically deserted the House and had a good time of it. "It is cither Blaine or McKinley in 1S92. If the tariff bill should boom business and I see no reason why It should not, then if cKinley !.. vsr .uiuiiuduio Ldnuiuaii:. -lmsaeicat will not affect the party in '92, Tho Democrats are not in an enviable uosltion anil tha nnni will hold them responsible .for every act they perform." NO BREAKING OUT FEABED. A Pittslmrger "Who Takes No Stock in "Wild Stories About the Sioux. E. P. McFadden, now a clerk in the Pitts burg laundry, was for ten years among the Sioux Indians, at Standing Rock reservation. He says the idea of any breaking out of these tribes is folly. For one reason. Two Bears' tribe, 1.200, never bore arms against tne whites. Then, Changing Eagle, with 200. is in the same position. John Grass, with 800, has been too much taken care of and educated too highly to tako up arms. The Hunkpopes, 1,200 in all dare not take np arms, owing to jealousies ex isting botn een them and otber tribes. Mr. McFadden is so well acquainted with the Sioux, for wbom ho was an interpreter for eight years, that he is positive all rumors of their breaking out are based ou no truth what ever. Says Phillips is Not In It. Ex-Congressman Oscar L. Jackson, ot New Castle, was at the Monongahela House, yester day.

Mr. "Wilson McCandless, President of the Allegheny National Bank, having died in Paris, France, on the morning of November 12, 1890, it is fitting that we, the Board of Directors of said bank and bis associates in the management of said institution, should put on record our appreciation of his high character as a banker and as a Christian gentleman. From an intimate daily asso ciation with him during the many years covering his entire business life, we have learned to respect him for his sterling quali ties of manhood bis keen sense of honor, his truthfulness, his strict regard for justice in all transactions, ihis unassailable in tegrity, official and personal, and for hu falthlul, conscientious and intelligent atten tion to the duties devolving upon him in the various positions he filled ; and we have learned also to love him for his unvarying geniality of temper and kindness of heart, his every impulse and action being gener ous ; for hf unselfishness, his cheerfulness and amiability, and for his ever kindly con sideration lor the feelings of others. In the death of Wilson McCandless this bank has lost a capable and faithful head, tbe community a most worthy citizen, his friends a genial companion, and his family a model husband and father. To his be reaved family we tender tbe assurance that our heartiest sympaties are with them, as the blow which deprived them of their nearest and .dearest took away from us a beloved friend and valued business asso ciate. There is consolation for them and for us in the remembrance that his Hie was blameless, and that when his final summons' came ironi the All-Father it was accom panied by the words so reassuring to the departing Christian, "Well done, good and faithlul servant." ' Besolved, That this minute be spread npon the records of the bank, and that a copy of it be sent to the family of the de ceased.

The coroner examined a gTeat number of witnesses, and tbe story they told, in tbe main, was that on Saturday night th'e deceased, with a number of friends, was drinking in Joseph A. Carline'a saloon, No. 73 Forty-third street. Dalzell had been drinking and got into a controversy with several bv-standers, when all of them made a rush to get outside the door. George Speaker testified that he saw the crowd come out and saw Johnston strike Dalzell In the face and knock him down. John yolk, oue of the prisoners, said he did not see Johnston strike Dalzell. hut that after the affray the former showed him a handkerchief with asioneinlt. Harry Ott testified that he was in the saloon with a couple or friends on Saturday night. Dalzell came in Tery drunk, and was mntterlng something to himself. The witness, with bis friends, were standing near tbe lifting macbinc Tbo deceased challenged tbe witness to lift and k k. refused Dalzell said he-would break bis jaw. Wm. Johnston, one of the prisoners nnder ar rest, then rushed up and made an attempt to strike Dalzell. but Johnston was pushed away. Tbe party then got down near tbe door and pushed outside. Tbe witness did not go outside but he saw no blows struck in the house. James Dalzell, a brother of the deceased, testified that tbey lived at Sandy Creek, and Robert was 33 or 24 years old.

The witness re. ilned with him all night and on Sunday morning had him removed to the house of Henry Kraus, in Millvale, where he died on Sunday evening about 7 o'clock. . Hr. W. V. Marquis, with Drs. Fife and Givens. neld a postmortem on the body yesterday afternoon and round that death was caused by a fusion or blood between the cranium ana brain, caused by a fracture of the skull. They also found tbat the hyoid bone in tho larynx bad been fractured, in addition to frac ture or tbe skull. Either or tbe fractures was sufficient to cause death. 1 he fracture of the hyoid bone could not be caused by a fall, but must have been caused by a blow. William F. Johnston, the principal defend ant, asked leave to testUy. Coroner McDowell cautioned him that be need not testify unless he wanted to and be might say something that could be used against him.
