SMALL WEEKLY 1KSTALLUEKTS Secure Loans of AH Sizes on Low Hates of Interest in Building and Loan Associations. HDXDELDS Or MILLIONS IX THEM Aid Wealthy Ptcjle Scmetoss Wtleone tht ASv sntege Tiiy Atari, Xot all the money saved during the past year by the industrial class of people has gone into unprofitable investments or banks that pay no interest. The building and loan association is the wage worker's bank, and it is one that never fails, so iar as the snare holders arc concerned. It is estimated that there are upward of C-00 of these associations in Allegheny county, with a combined membership of 100,000, and a united capital of not less than 5200,000,000. The amount or good these associations have proven to poor people during the pres ent year cannot be estimated, and, as the old year fades into the dim past, they will look with gratefulness upon the opportunities afforded b3 the societies to save enough hard earned money to purchase their holiday roods, or to begin the new year by making the rst payment on a home that is to shel ter them in future year.. Houie-Bailclcrs by tlie Score. Tee wage workers in Pittsburg and Alle gheny who have been enabled throuch the building and loan associations to buy and pay for homes, when otner plans and sources of help had failed, can be counted by the scores. The followers of all the trades, clerks, professional, and eveu commercial men by the hundreds and thousands have been "given their starr," iu the matter of laying in a stock of this world's good, through the saving o 10 or 13 cents a week on each share held in some association. ISuilding and loan associations may be of various kinds, but the majority of them, and, iu fact, the most successful are of ne cessiiy confined to two classes. The one, established many vears ago and conducted on a plan which fixes both the value of each share of stock and the time in which it can be paid up. It is known as the serial plan, and members joining between the time when the series begins and ends must pay a sum proportionately equal to that paid by any of the other shareholders sines the beginning of the series. la this, as well as in all other kinds of as sociations, shares mature when their par value has been paid in, but a whole scries is thus matured at the same time. "When the stock in all the series has matured the asso ciation ceases to enst. In other words, in the old associations the stock must all he taken at the same time, or the member must pay up all back due from its commence ment until the date of purchase. This is rendered especially necessary in the associa tions in which there is but one issue of stock, and no shares can mature until ah are paid up in lull and the association dis solves. Organized on a Progressive IMan. The majority of the associations organ ized within the last two or three years, how ever, are based upon a more progressive and, indeed, liberal plan. Slock can be taken at any time without tho payrricnt of Hack dues, and any portion of stock ma' lie paid, at tbe option of holders, and does not depend upon the maturing of other shares for a cer tificate of paid-up stock on his nun shares but isentitcd to Una, together with seiu.-.n jal dividend?, whenever his own stock matures. Some ot the later a ociations have secured pcrpe tual ch irters and treat all shareholders a-.co-ortrersin thrconcein. Thnshasbeconie !bcmit popular plan, as it oifcrs special ad vantages to borrowin: stockholders which cau-,in- In- 1'"1 in any of the older associations. While t non-borrower is the man h always makes tue uiot money on his investment, all asnJtions are conducted for the special bene fit of t.iose who are compelled to borrow, and the association that can reduce the cose or a loin to tlio lor poiblp figure isrhpa-so. ciavi"ii that will have the largest membership. To obtain a loan in an old association, uieui-beii-are u-ually required to bid for it at a regular meeting, and the loan is awarded the Inchest bidder. The premium is deducted from the loan or added to it. as the case may be, and the borroncr sometimes pays a high price for his money. But the more modern associations fix a premium for all loans, and usually at a reasonable figure. However, the plan ha very little to do with the success of the association or the benefit derived from it by the sbaiebolders. There is not an Association in Allechcny connty that will not willingly loan IroniTotnSO percent of the face value of a niece of property on a first mortgage, while many capitalists refuse to give ut ever GO per cent, borne of the associa tions hx their premiums and rate of interest so low that by the time dividends aremado tbe actual cost falls below 5 per cent. feafeij of Building Associations. The safety of building and loan associations cannot be disputed. They are chartered under a special act of the Legislature. AH have a rule prohibiting speculations of any sort, and loans will not b: made on property outside of the connty. This gives an opportunity of having all records of properties close at hand, and as each association has its own attorney, these are examined before loans are given out So. systematic has the ar rangement of the associations become that 2io man need lose money by being a share holder. If uiislortuue overtakes a man or cir cumstances occur to render him unable to make his painnts, he Pas the piiulcgc of -withdrawing whir lie has paid in, together with whatever dividends he may have been granted. In this way, the association becomes a bank with ihe assurance of absolute safety and the advantages of dividends added. The membership of all the associations is not confined strictly to the industrial class of peo ple, nor are they the only borrowers. Mayor Gourley assisted in the organization of the Modern, one of tbe most successful associations in the city, and it has among its members some of the most prominent politicians of the .Seventh and Eighth wards. The Aicanum is one of tho prosperous asso ciations, having been organized less than four vear. and possessing assets to tbe amount of nearly SToO, including over ffiOOOO iu mort gages. This association has for mcmbeis such men as W. H. Duffell. treasurer of the Pitts burg and Western Railroad: Job Ablet, of tho Standard Oil Company: F. H. Torrens, general agent ot the fc'chcnley estate: William K. Ford, collector of delinquent taxes, and many other prominent citizens. Banks for School Teachers. Charles Keisfar. secretary of the Central Hoard of .Education, is also secretary of the Fireside Building and Loan Association, which has among its members many of the city school teachers, who have taken this method of saving their fuuds. Henry Uunneshagen, Mayor Wyman's clerk, and a number of other Allegheny politicians help to compose the shareholders of the Garfield Premium No. 2, and tho Rational Premium 5a o. Tho German population in Allegheny are enthusiastic over the plan for sav ing money afforded by baildin? and loan-associations, and the German citizen who does not hold shares in one or more ot them, it is cafe to say. has an insufficient income to sup port his family. It is estimated that more than half the houses bmltduring the post year are being piid fur through these association-. I'coslcjuiu building and loan associations for all sons of purpose The number of women who become members is very large. The wife of a wage worker from the Seventh ward bought five shares in the Modern a few months ago. The other day she walked into the office on rjftb avenue and gave notice that she wanted to withdraw her money, saying to secretary McCrickert at the time, "I have be come so tired of buying my household goods on tbe installment plan and paying two prices for them, X thought I would get on tho other sldn oftbetenco this time and see how much I could save. 1 want my money to buy a parlor carpet with." Sating Money for the Holidays. Mr. McCrickert said last night: "Besides the substantial benefit afforded people by our asso ciation, some people join for most peculiar pur poses. Some start in a few months before Christmas to save up holiday money. Others begin after tbe holidays to lay aside their vacation money. If a young man wants to take a trip to Europe ho takes five or ten shares and pays a few months until bo gets cnongu to pay expenses. "But the real solid benefit and comfort de rived from any one of the associations by people who are compelled to toil for a living is lnestimablc.and while times are prosperous the success of them will continue." WANTING A BOROUGH. r Reasons Given by Some McKee's Rocks People for a Change ot Autonomy Largest Unincorporated Body In the United States. IcKee's Hocks people still monopolize the attention of the grand jury, the objectors to the boroush project now having their say. Their version of tne matter lias al ready been given iu The Dispatch. Those who want the borough assign a number of reasons why they think they should haroit. In the first place, they set forth that the aggregation of people at the mouth of Chartiers Creek is the largest unincorporated body in the United States, and that it is sub ject to vicissitudes at the bauds of tramps, tonghs, etc., that mauy cood-sized city govern ments are not called to encounter, on account of its being a railway center and located ad jacent tb the most popular picnic grounds about these cities, where hard characters as semble and work their sweet will, without any daring to molest or mako afraid. They say there is scarce a week that some citizen is not held up and robbed, and that storo robberies and burglaries arc of common occurrence. Thcv say they liavo no police protection, and cannot have it without borough government. Ihey further say that tbe town is built al most entirely of wood, and there is no tire pro tection, nor can there be any while tbe object ors to a borough can control, as at present. They say that nearly all the poor want a bor ough, and those who do not are controlled by tho manufacturers, who are said to object on tbe same ground as non-residents and large landholders on tho ground that a borough would increase taxation. . .l'hey say that every saloon keeper tut one is in favor of the borough, and that he is under the influence of the manufacturers, and finally, it is contended that the totizh clement is op posed to tbe borough, and this is held to be one of the strongest arguments in favor of it. KEEPING UP THE KICK. Tlie Protest Against Sunday Opening of the Library Bobs Up Again. Tho Allegheny Suli-Committee on Library met last night, in regular session. A number of small bills were approved, and one also for books received from J. B. Lippincott Co., amounting to Sj.011.

Collins, of North avenue, protesting azainst the opening ot the Library on Sunday, and referred to the committee, was read 'and filed. The letter expressed the decided views of the writer on what he termed a violation not only of the commandment to "remember the Sabbath day to keen it holy," but also of the laws of the State, l'he offer of Mr. Phlpps to donate 10,000 worth of books was denounced as a bribe Mr. Cochrane took the occasion to state that ho had been incorrectly reported as being in favor of opeuing thr. Library on Sunday. He stated that he was decidedly opposed to it, and wished to be placed on record to that effect. Ke believed it a desecration of the dav to which he would not be considered a party. No action w as taken on the paper. A LIST OF OFFICERS ELECTED By the "ew St. Mark's Memorial Reform Church Congregation. The congregation of St, Mark's Memorial Reform Church met last evening in their new church at tbe corner of North Highland avenno and Harvard street to elect officers.

These meetings will be continued all week. A CITIZENS' COMMITTEE To "Work at tlie Elections for Allegheny Select Councilmen. George Shlras IIL says Allegheny is to have a Committee of Fifty tolook after the people in tho coming election for Select Councilmcn. lie says: "Nothing can yet be said as to the composition of the committer, but it will be composed of representative men who arc de sirous of having men in Councils with the best interests of the city at heart.

There is a certain Boniface in the city who has the reputation of holding on with a 60,000-pounds-to-tbe-srmare-inch, tenacity to every dollar he can make. A guest at his hotel last night, familiar with his trait?, observing him drop a nickel into his pocket, said to a compan ion: "Do you know what that com said as it drop ped out of sight?" -No. Whatr "Farewell, dear world, farewell." TEAINS STILL LATE. The Tracks Being Blocked by Snow Causes the Trouble. All through trains were more or less delayed yesterday. This was owing to the supplement ary fall of snow during the night of Sunday, which blocked tbe tracks again and rendered it necessary to do much of the cleaning all over again. The Western express was an bonr and a qnartcr late, and the limited nearly two hours overdue. As yet there is not much travel, only those going on the roads who arc obliged by the exigencies of busiucss.to Ho so. Took His Clerks Sleigh. Riding. John J. Frennd, the Sonthsidc merchant, last night cave a sleighing party to his clerks. The trip out Liownsville avenue to Hotel Oln bausen, and the merry making at the latter point, will doubtless bejong remembered by the young folic BEAUTFATTHEBA'LL The First Assembly at the Pittsburg Club a Social Success. HIGH SCHOOL ALUMKl BANQUET. Part of the Terestchajih Collection of Paintings Arrives. SOCIETY 01UT OP TUG TWO' CITIES The beauty and brilliancy of the first Assembly ball, held at the Pittsburg Club house last evening, was so great that even the exterior of the brown-stone building sscmed tinged with a rosv hue, and the in terior was a shifting panorama of splendid magnificence. Tbe entire clubhouse was placed at the disposal of the guests, and in anticipation of tbe event, its last trace of masculinity had disappeared 'neath an abundance ot fresh white crash and the lavish and artistic placement of tropical plants and hot-house flowers. The theater entrance was used, and the guests passed under the awning that, through long service at similar fashionable events, has become so thoroughly impregnated with the ethics ot Pittsburg society that it occupies to the clubhouse the same position Sexton lirown did to Grace Churcli in -New York, and is retained in spite of its antiquity and de parted freshness. TUE SCENE IN THE HALL. Once within the hall huge palms towering above mossy embankments attracted the eye, but it was only a casual glauce they received from tho ladies enveloped in thefr elegant carriage wraps and soft furs, as they hastened to tbe dressing room on llie second floor. There, with the assistance of the cbony.hued maidens especially skilled in the devices of tbe toilet, the outer garments were removed, dainty kid and vilk slipners took the place of those of soft zephyr, the last aelieate touch ot the powder puff was civen, the jeweled hands were encased in exquisite cloves, and vwtli fan and flowers, milady, a vision of beauty, was ready to accompany her escort into the assembly room. From tbe depth of a tropical forest that occupied tho platform and complete ly screened the musicians issued the entrancing music of Toerge's Orchestra, or a portion of it rather, as for this affair it was dirided, part furnishing tho dance music and the remainder stationing themselves in the hall adjoining the dining room, and playing for the gav promenade.-s and throngh tho supper hour. The dining room was heavy with the fra grance of the cut flowers that burdened the mantels and filled the window seats and the small square tables, with which the room was tilled, glistened prettily under the gas lights with their coverings of shimmering satin damask, aud their service of cut glass and sil ver. BEAUTY AT THE BAXQUET. The scene presented in the dining room when the gaily attired company was seated, and over their ices and cake were casting bright glances and quick flashes of wit, was one of remarkable beauty, and almost equaled the one in the ball room, when, yielding to tho fascinating influ ence of a Straus waltz, individuality was lost in one bewildering maze of rylhni and motion. Until tbe formition for the cotillon, the patronesses were grouped together at the ex treme end of tbe hall, near the musicians srrcen, which proved an admirable background for the outlining of their exquisite toilets. Effectiveness of dress was not confined to the patronesses,but extended throughout tlie entire company.each and every lady having apparently taken their costume for the first time from tho tissue paper for last evening. n the assem blage youthful face' predominated, with just a suflicieut number of mature ones to give dig nity to the affair. Brides and those who are soo'n to become such, with young brides and visiting lonng folks from distant cities, formed thf company. Until 12 o'clock tho floor was occupied by the merry round dancers, after that the cotillon, and it was decidedly well onto daybreak when the last equlppago lelt the pottals of the club house, that had added another triumph to its long list in the social line. ALTJMKI AT A BANQUET. Graduates of the Pittsburg nigh School Re united Around the Social Board. "I never knew this parlor to look so perfectly lovely." said a charming little lady at the Hotel Schlosser last evening. "No. but you never be fore saw so many pretty ladies in it," replied her escort; and true it was, there never before had been so many lovely ladies to grace the room. The event that called forth the assem blage was the second annual banquet of tho High School Alumni, which far exceeded in brilliancy and delightfulncss the first and pre ceding one given at the same place last year. There were about 00 guests, the ladies in be witching toilets carrying bouquets of fragrant flowers and the gentlemen in full dress. At the command of Dr. J. Richie Horner, the line was formed fo.- the banqueting room, which elicited extravagant and continual ex clamations of delight as itslieautydawneu upon the vision of the gay banqueters. The tables gleaming in their whiteness, with exquisite ioses lifting their pretty beads from vases of wonderful' beauty and mounds of fruit de hciously tempting in formation delighted the eye. while the meuu was equally delightful to another one of the senses, consisting, as it did, of all the delicacies of the season served in tbe daintiest and most appetizing manner. After the coffee. President E. F. Hays, '77. greeted tho reunited graduates in a neat and effective little address and called npon J. T. Jlyler, '75, for "Our Girls." Mr. llyler was equal to the occasion, and was prepared to make a friend of e ery young lady in the room by his appreciation of their merits. Prol. Charles B. Wood. President of tbe fac ulty, responded to "Scientific Education." and Miss J. Craig. '77. to "The Alumni in Public and Private Life." An intermission, which Ger nert's Orchestra very pleasantly filled in with the delightful melody that had floated through tho room during the entire banqnet, followed and preceded "Pittsburg's Public Institutions." as outlined by Morris W. Mead. '77. Dr. W. T. Burleigh, 'SI, on "Our Reunions, past and Fu ture." closed the toasts, and the company re paired to the parlor until the banqueting room was transformed into a ballroom. Dancing was Indulged iu for some time and it was with anticipations for a thud reunion that the merrymakers dispersed.

Sled-Riding Indulged iu by Thousands of Boys and Girls Scenes of Merriment on Steep City Streets Vicious Snow-Bailers Cause Several Accidents. The small boy and his sister had lots of fun last night. The snow had packed solid ly on the steep streets, and their condition was perfection for coasting. Almost every sled in tbe city was out, and terrible were the wails of the boy who was not allowed to join the crowds of merry-makers. Out-Fifth and "VY'vlie avenues the coasters could not he computedas they came flying down the side streets. Pride street was especially favored, and the trip from tho Bluff to Firth avenno was made by a horde of yell ing, shric'king, happy youngsters. Webster avenue was also well patronized, and the pedes trian who crossed that street had to be very wary as the coasters flew down, while the riders yelled 'Track, track." Penn avenue at some points last night was a scene of wildness, owing to the snow-balling tendencies of boys and yonng men along that thoronchfaro. At almost every corner crowds of youhig men and boys were congregated, who inilUU 111U HQ4IJ' ml iuu luvniivoiicuca.ti.iiai Those indulging in the pleasures of a sleizh ride were particularly unfortunate, as they were tbe special aim of the snow-ballers, who pelted them right and loft. The result of these onslonghts was that a conple of accidents were reported. A young man named Dravore, who was sleigh-riding, was struck on the side of the face with a snowball that contained a chunk of ice, and an uzly gash was cut. An old gentle man whose name could not be learned was also hit on the fare and painfully cut. The police made an effort to stop the throwing, bnt it was fruitless. Harry Watson and a lady friend, of Alle gheny, met with a mishap while out sleigh-riding last evening. When driving along North Highland avenue, near RIppey street, the horsa became frightened and unmanageable. Mr. Watson at once turned the horse into a large pile of -now. It brought the animal to a stop, but the sleigh was upset and broken into pieces. The occupants were pitched out, bnt escaped injury. The lady was slitthtly stunned and was taken to No. S Engine House, where she soon recovered. Her escort procured another sleigh, and as tbe horse was unhurt the couple drove back to town. IDENTIFYING A MUEDEEED MAN. George Booshard, Who 'Was Killed Three Years Ago, Fled From Philadelphia, The identity of George Booshard, who was stabbed by John Cain, at tbe Conneilsville Hotel. Grant street, December 19, 1SS7, is about to be solved. Booshard died of his injuries and Cain was sent to tbe Penitentiary lor 12 years. Booshard was employed as a retoucher in a photograph gallery, and when he died no clew conld bo found of his former home or rela tives, and it was surmised that his name was an assumed one.

NEWS GIjEANiSD IN THE LABOU FIELD There was a rumor afloat at a late hour last night of prospective difficulty between the Window Glassworkers' Association and Chambers & McKee, the Jeannette manufacturers. It was stated by a manufacturer that a circular, signed by President Eberhardt, had becu issued to the workers, cautioning them against working for Chambers & Mc Kee. This was further alleged to' be on ac count of the fact that "William Slicker, against whom the Knights of Labor are re ported to have, some grievance, is employed at Jeannette, and also on tbe grounds that tbe firm was employing labor outside of the union. Further than this the gentleman referred to knew nothing of the case. Mr. James C. Chambers was spoken with regarding the report last evening, as he was leaving for Chicago. He said in this con nection: 'There is a certain amount of friction just now between us and the association, but I prefer not to say anything about It If there is any publicity to bo given to the matter I prefer it should come from the other side, and I hare no doubt that Mr. Kberhardt will be glad to ventilate bis views throuch tho newspapers. See him and I shall be content to make any comments that may be necessary on whatever statement he may make." Owing to the lateness of the hour an effort to And Mr. Eberbardt proved futile. Mr. Chambers, Mr. William lioefller. Mr. Knox, of JN'ew Castle, and a few other window glass men went on to Chicago last night to at tend the meeting of the American Window 'Glass Association in that city to-day. Mr. Chambers stated that the meeting would be one of the bondholders alone, and lor the pur pose of increasinc the capital stock from 5100. IKW to 600,000. This was necessary, he said, so as to enable tbe United Glass Company to join the undertaking. This company had already decided to become a factor . in the new associa tion, .Not more than 10 per cent, Mr. Chambers said, of tbo Western manufacturers were hold ing aloof from tbe undertaking. One or two fairly big firms were included among them.but their joint strength' would not affect tho operations uf tho new company. Mr. Chambers did not know when business wonld be commenced; things were not yet ripe for that. Regarding the probabilities of an im mediate advance in glass, he said that he did not think that would he made. Mr. Loeflier said ho held proxies for many of the Pittsburg men. A two-thirds' vote was necessary to increase the capital stock, aud this, he thought, there was no doubt of their being able to obtain.

LOYE'S DARKER SIDE. Pathetic Story ol a Woman Who Sonant Relief From the Police. rAUENTAL WISHES DISREGARDED. The Husband Die?, and Friends Accused of Turning- Her Adrift, AFTEK 8EC0EIXGHEEFASSAGEM0SEI Just as Alderman Succop was preparing to close up his office, last nisht, a man en tered, followed shyly by a preposessing little woman carrying a babe in her arms. "Though tho man was recognized as a well known interpreter of Slavonic, ono would hardly have guessed that the beautiful, though poorly clad woman, was a native of Slavonia. Blie said that her parents in Slavonia owned a considerable estate and sba had seen happy times. Josef Garber, who had roamed through tbo world considerably, one day was hired by her father as a farm band, and from her first sight of him she became Infatuated. In some manner he had obtained a cony of the Slavonic paper printed in Pittsburg, which had found its way to that land, and suddenly became imbued with tho idea that America and Pittsburg was an Ehlorado. where one could become rich and influential like magic. . He went to Pittsburg and soon after she de serted her home one day and followed him, and by bis directions reached Pittsburg. He had commenced to "get rich" byworkingm a Pitts burg mill, and a short time after her arrival they were married and moved to Homestead, where he obtained work. She said that bcr married life was not all roses, as she had to lire on snch small means, but she was happy until a month ago, when her husband died, and her real trials began, cjhe was left witbout a home or means of suste nance, and among comparative strangers. The Slavs and Hungarians, always charitable to their own conntrymen, helped her to find the ureans to keep life in her body. But a short time ago a fatherless little boy claimed her tender care. Her tnends at last made a final effort, and by contributions sneceeded in raising 110 to pay her passage back to her old home. Then by chance she learned that some relatives of her family bad come to Pittsburg, and lived on Carson street, between Eighth and "Inth streets. She went to see them when she came to Pittsburg to purchase her tickets, and they induced her to delay her journey, saying she could li7e with them, and that they would keepber if sho would give them tbe Sill), which was to be used partly for her board, and she was to help abodt tbe housework as the other part of her keeping. The money, she say?, was loaned to Joseph Herodnowicz, who lives in tbe same house and has a small store. To doubly assure Mrs. Gar ber of the proper use of her money, papers were drawn up before an Alderman, and a week ago last Saturday she commenced life in her new home. Sbe says that about six1 days after her arrival she was turned ont of tbe bouse and not allowed to return, and a man accompanied her to the train and shipped her to Homestead. Since being turned from her borne she has. been wandering about, not knowing where to go, until last night, as a last resort, she sought the police and was piloted to Alderman Sue cop's office. She bad had no food for 36' hours, and ner baby was crying for uonrishment. Alderman Snccop saw that the poor woman had a good substantial meal. andthen bad her placed in tbe Twenty-eighth ward police station until he can investigate her case and find out the nature of the paper by which sbe says her money was obtained.
