GOVERNMENT OFFICERS OBJECT To the Amount Reported bj the Tiewers for Condemnation. COIIMOX HiEASASD CRIMINAL COURTS Tlie appeal of the United States from the Board of Viewers' report in the condemna tion of Dim No. 7, assessing the value at 5209,000. was on berore Judge Achesoa, of the United States District Court, yesterday. The condemnation was by an act of Congress, and it is considered 540,000 too high. The case was opened by George Shiras, Jr., who appeared for the Jlonongahela Navigation Company. He spoke of the time when the Jlonongahela was a shallow stream, navigable only at high water stages and when up-river trips were not thought of. The Monongahela Navigation Com pany was formed, having as its object the building of the up-river trade, and at an immense outlay of money succeeded in making navigation what it now is. The coalmen got 'an idea that the tolls were enormous and appealed to Congress for a free river. The subsequent passage of a bill to condemn Lock No. 7, and the award of the Board ol Yicuers was then dwelt on, and Mr. Shiras itated that the company would prove that the present valuation of the property was much more than its original cost. STATEMENT Or'niE COST. "William Bafcewell, Secretary and Treas urer of the Monongahela Navigation Com pany, was the lirst witness called. Ho testified that he had been secretary for the company for 4S vear and treasurer for 2) years. Mr. Bake Mell presented a detailed statement of tlie actum cost nf lock aud dam No. 7, which was fl6i,732 13. but there were other expenses, such as stone lor abutments, damage tn property along the river, ett, which made the total cost S1S0.5U Si Colonel T. P. Rolierts, tbe civil engineer of the Mononcabela Company, testified tbat the Monngahtia river 1- a hard one on dams. Floods are frequent ard come at the most un expected times. The ice in winter is also very hard on dams. Colonel Roberts then described dam No. 7, gmng its dimensions and tbe amount of materials used in its construction. Tbe actual value of tbe dam to-day, the wit ness thought, exclusive or the natural increase in the value of property. Is SJ1S.000. and to this t-bould be added 15,000 for outside expenses. Tbelocl. and dain arc worth uiorc to-rtay than when they were built, for the reason tbat it has withstood the test ot jtars. Unking all the-e things lLto consultation the property to-day Fbould be worth at tbe lowest estimate 216 51X .Lock and dam No. S had but recently been complete! and was somewhat similar to No. 7, and cost 250.000. After a careful examination of tlie work Colonel Huberts thought that the work done on lock No. 7 was vety cheap. tHOULr- LAST FOlt TEAKS. On cross-examination Colonel Roberts stated tbat tbe cause of tbe sinking of the river wall of the lock was that it had settled, aud was not two inches out of plumb, which did not in the least affect tbe integrity of the structure. The stone is scaling oS on the dck, but that aid not signify anything, as every lock on the Mc liongahela river scales. No stone can be found that will bear the exposure of water and w eather. The lotk should last for SO years, and at the end of tbat time be substantial. Locks Nos. 1 and 2 arc ot cr 50 j ears old, and Lock No. 7 is better than either. William. D. Stratton. of New Yori, is a con tractor and built Lock No. 4 for theMononga liela Navigation Company in ISSt. He also built the Baltimore and Ohio bridges at Glen wood and Rankin's station, also the Jones & Laughlu. bridge, and was therefore acquainted with the character of the stream. The river sometimes rises very suddenly. Its bottom is soft and loamy. The witness never saw-Lock No. 7, but knew tbe kind of material it was built of. The witness then went over the list or cot as handed in bj Mr.lfakewc.il and stated tbat from his own experience would say that tbe work was done at a very fair price, 'Ihe dam. be thought, became more valuable from having stood the test of llvoor six 3ears. and was therefore worth more money today than when it was new. The durability or life of a dam kept m ordinary repair without being torn out by an ice gorge is everlasting. As to the timber used in a dam itdidnotroi. The wit ness had taken timber out of a river tbat had been in use for SI j ears and it was still good. The witness thought that the Monongahela Navigation Company, with its plant and appli ances, could do tbe work 25 per cent cheaper tban an outside contractor. The case will go on to-day. A NEW QUESTION Under the Insoltent Ait to be Heard in Court. A copy of the record in the case of Ezra Beatty was prepared by Clerk ol Courts Mc Gunnegleestetday. that an application for a writ of special allocatur can be made to the Supreme Court The point to be decided is a new one. Beattv was sent to the workhouse for six months at the lnstaure of Mary Daily, to whom be was also ordered to pay $1 59 a week for five jcarc. lie has served his sentence and was discharged under the insolvent laws, after serving an additional three months. He failed to pay the weekly stipend, however, and was again arrested. His discharge was asked for on tlie claim that tne insolvent law released him from all liability. The prosecution held that it only affected payments that were due at tbe time of discharge. Judge Magec banded down an opinion saying tbat the prisoner would 1; subject to imprisonment while the payments run. perhaps many jears. The Court had discretionary power, the practice of which he preferred to" adhere to. and the petition for release was dismissed. It was on this decision that the application for a special allocatur will be made. TO-DAYS TRIAL LIST. Long Line of Cases to bo Heard by the Judges.

ENTHUSIASM OF 0NK0FTHE LADIES The Site for the Local Institution "Will Soon be Selected. R. P. SABBATH SCHOOL CONTENTION Three intelligent, refined, cultured women in the quaint, demure, modest costume of the Deaconess, occupied prominent seats and in turn the platform in the lecture loom of the Smithfield 31. E. Church last even ing talking in the interest of the Deaconess' Home movement in this city. They were Mrs. Lucy ltider Jleyer, 31. D., Principal of tne Chicago Training School for City, Home and Foreign Missions, who is a guest in the city, Mrs. S. A. Brockway, Super intendent of the Cincinnati Deaconess Home, who arrived in Pittsburg duriug the day, and Mrs. G. H. Van Vradenburg, the resident Deaconess of the city whose recent arrival from Buffalo, ber former field of labor, has been a matter or note. Mrs. Meyer made the principal address of the evening, and confined herself chiefly to the deaconess movement in this couutry and in the M. E. Church, though reference was made to the origin of the order in Europe and its organization in other churches. To Mrs. Meyer is due the honor of introducing the deaconess work in America, Chicago be ing practically the birth place of the move ment, which, under ber efficient manage ment, has assumed such vast proportions and evidences such enormous vitality, with established homes in almost all tho large cities of tbe Union. Eleven Homes during the past year 'have been opened, and tho super intendents of them have, with pos sihly no exception, como from tbe training school presided over by Mrs. Meyer. In ber address, in view of the contemplated es tablishment of a Home in this citr, Mrs. Meyer gave some particulars as to how tho Home in Chicago is established with its 45 deaconesses and 40 students, and also defined very clearly the life of a deaconess whose service, she said, must bo voluntarv and unremunerated, except with the necessaries of life. Two years mun bo spent In preparation for the work either for a visiting deaconess or a nursing deaconess, and at the end of that time tho church, throagh the General Conference, gives the stamp of its ap proval. The visiting deaconesses are given a course of study in tne Bible, and an elementaiy course in medicine and uursing. Tho nursing deaconesses takes a more extended course in hospital nursing, and is as proficient when she ventures nnon ner duties as a proiessionai nurse at to a week. They wear the costume as a protection, and also because of its inexpensiveness. They are supported entirely by the Home, and in case of ill-health are assured ot a comfortable home and tho best of medical aid as long as they require it, in the very home in which they have lived and worked. Their labors consist of a thorough and systematic missionary work in the parish to which thev may be assigned, principally among the poor, for tbe poor can not secure other help in time of sickness and desolation, and the wealthy can. The homes are supported entirely by generous persons in terested in the work. Mrs. Brockwav gave a few interesting details regarding the Cincinnati Home tnd told es pecially of one deaconess who visited the prisons and another who held meetings once a week in the workhouse among the women. The demand for deaconess nnrses in tbat city was very much ahead of the snpplr tuns far, tho speaker said, but they would graduate a num ber shortly and will then be better prepared for emergencies. Mrs. Vradenburg was very enthusiastic in her remarks regarding tbe work and ber hope fulness for tho borne to be opened in this city. Enthusiasm and earnestness characterized each of tbe three representatives of tho Deaconess' Order, and it was a strange man or woman who listened to the almost inspired address of Mrs. Meyer and the com plimentary remarks of the others, without being greatly interested in tbe movement. A reepption "ill he given the deaconesses at the Oakland M. E. Church to-day between the honrsof 2 and 4. A meeting of the committee on the selection and securing of property for tbe home will beheld in Christ Jl. JS. Church next Wednesday.

That I'state Donates a Handsome Approach toSchenley Park Tlie Ordinance Kec ommendedto Councils-Work Done by the Public Works ConmilUee. 'Ihe Committee on Public Works met yesterday afternoon and considered a large cumber of ordinances, all of which were affirmatively recommended. Among them was an ordinance dedicating two long strips ol ground in the Twenty-second ward for an eastern entrance to Scbenlcy Park, the ground being a gift from John P.. Alexan der and David Murdoch, and Mrs. Ellen Watson. Beacon street runs right up to tho park line at a width of 60 feet and connects with Forbes street by way of Wightman street, which is HO feet wide. The ordinance proposes to make these two streets 100 feet wido be tween Forbes street and the park line, a dis tance of over 2.000 feet, and the Murdoch heirs, through whose property the streets are opened agree to make a gift of the necessary ground to accomplish that object, the only condition being that it shall be used as a park entrance. The Qonors request that in consideration of tho gift Uno entrance shall be known as the Murdoch entrance, but it is not made a condi tion. There bad been a provision requiring the city to pay for the paving of the donated strips whenever the two streets should be paved, but Chief Wigclow insisted that it should be stnekon out. He says that while ihe gift is a valuable one in some respects, still there is already a good entrance from Forbes street, which is ruoro convenient than the proposed new one. There is but little donbt, however, tbat the now entrance will some day be one of the finest to the park, and that it will immedi ately enhmeo the value of the Murdoch estate, through which it runs very greatly. Other ordinances recommended were as fol lows: Itepcallne an ordinance for the paving and curblnir of Wslllnjrlord. between Seville and Bartun streets: cliancinR the name of Antsliell avenue to Hurray Hill avenue; naming and curb ing Walliimrord street. lrom ttevllle street to Murcwood avenue: opening KlrLpatrlck street, lrom WcDs erto lledlord avenues: College ave nue, rrom Ellsworth nvenucto tipohr street: a rey alley, from South Thirtieth to south Thirtv flrst streets; bt.

CATCHING THE COLD WAVE. A Section of Winter Weather Strikes Pitts burg Amidships Zero and Worse Oat West Possibilities of the Near Future Some Friendly Llttlo Tips. A mighty cold streak developed in Minne sota yesterday morning, and Weather Boss Stewart confidently asserted last night that Pittsburg would not escape without first ex periencing a sample of the same. At Yin cent the mercury anchored at 21 below zero. At Moorbead it dropped to 16 below. It was 4 below at Dnlutb, 4 above at Bismarck and St. Paul, and G below at Sault Ste. Marie. Plenty of snow was also reported in tho West. Boss Stewart expected that the mercury would fall as low as IS3 above zero by daylight this morning. This woutd be about 7 lower than was recorded yesterday. The signal office sent out an order yesterday, parts of which maybe ot interest to tbe public One section reads: Warnings of cold waves and other temperature falls arc Issutd from the signal office at V ashing ton nhen It U expected that thcynlll be sosudden and slurp as to materially liuenere with the com fort of the community or cause duinigc to ma terial interests.
