Teoplo at Balls, Parlies and Concerts PaT Tribn'te lo the Old and GiTe Welcome to the New. KIGHTMADE HIDEOUS WITH THE SOBXDS Hrr tit Optsbg of lie Lift Decide Will Be Olamd Tc-Dsyin FittiMrg. Last midnicht the great bell tolled the dcth of the old year. The crowds on the ttreet took up the sound, and cheer on cheer was sent up from hundreds of throats in welcome to 1891. Then broEe forth a pandemonium of bells, whittles minded with the bang of fire crackers and pistols. It may have been .1 welcome to new born tiue,or a notice thallSOO was history, but in either event the noise was hideous. Notwithstanding this fact the racket was kept up for an hour and then it dwindled down to a few firecracker poppers it bo suspended operations when tbey were popped into Central station. Prior to this, however, the advent of the circle of months had been celebrated in a hundred ways. Many churches had open doors, and within the fathers of the con gregations watched and prayed while -the new year advanced. Tancingthe New Year In. Harps and violins had sounded in every hall in the twin cities, while happy dancers kept time to the merry music, and at mid night only danced the faster as they gasped out a "how-dye do" to time's last child, and with the next breath cried "On with the dance:" With them life's lines nn too smoothly for a more sober thought,or even the memory of a past sorrow. There were balls in Pittsburg, balls on the Sonthside, calls in Allesheuy.balls everywhere in fact, the whole city was swinging in the mazy waltz as a greeting to the first unit of the last decade of the nineteenth century. t Concerts, too, were amonc the amusements and nearly every secret order in the two chief, through some of their branches, held concerts. Most of them, too, ended also in the chairs being cleared and room made for the happy couples. The dance aud the divine muse were not all the altars on which incense was burned. The homes came in for a share of he festiv ities. Pretty maidens met and iu dark corners wheu midnight sounded over grave yards and the other localities where spirits are supposed to walk, tney whispered the dark secrets they1 love to dote on at Halloween and New Year's. The grown up folk celebrated by giving receptions and then went home to dream over broken resolution.; and new ones to be forged to-day, and, niayhup, to be broken to morrow. Drinking to the Seit-Comer. Still another class with raised cups wel- -coeimI th;.- newcomer aud swallowed the spirits at the same time. The Brooks' law, however, ended thjs except in the clubs where the bon vivanybachelors and the say benedicts welcomed New Yean until day light drove them from the punch bow). Only one spot darkened the record of the welcome. Pittsburg almost received 1S91 iu cood Pittsburg style with a tragedy, fehortly after 12 o'clock James Totten, an em ploye at Philip Flinn's restaurant, m the Diamond Market, wxs ac cidentally shot by George llobinson. The lat ter is employed at Wilson's restaurant. The two boys had been working a double gaino 011 the New "Year by welcoming in m and killing rats at tbo same time. The weapon was a flobert rifle. Tbey bad started to go to Wilson' restaurant when itobiuson. bo was behind Totten, acci dentally discharged tne gun. The ball entered at the right side of Tutten'i. head and came ont above bis eye, inflicting a severe scal wound. The wounded boy fell, stunned by tbe shock, but in a few moments as resuscitated. Tbe patrol viason was called, and TfitUn was taUeu to Central station, a little later Wilson cave himself up. Police 'Sunreon Jloyer dressed the boy's wound, and as it'uas not con sidered dangerous, both boys were aliened logo. PBOLIC AND FESTIVITY. Social Celebrations -11 Over the Two Cities.

Conchetta llordeste's Struggle ,Wilh Adversity to.Win a Husband, , A KOMANCE OP TWO COSTINENTS. Hoarding Her little Savings to- Pay the Bridegroom's Fare. TUE MEEKI JIAL'UIAGC AT MIDNIGHT Yesterday afternoon the musty records of the marriage license office were enlivened by a. passing gleam of romance. A really touching love story attaches itself to 'the names of Carmina Gioillo" and Conchetta Mordcste, which appear link'ed tpgetherin the license listpublished this morning. Carmina and his Conchetta arc young Italians who have jnstbceu romantically re united alter a separation, long aud bitter in deed to the hearts of such devoted lovers. Their history is, for various reasons, a re markable one. The facts of the narrative were obtained from Dr. Leonardo Nardyz, of Smithfield street, who is physician to tho Hal. an colony in Pittsburg. According to the worthy doctor, the' two young people first became acquainted over seas, iu unny Italy. They were born in the proviuce of Basilacata, not far from Naples, and spent their childhood together among the vineyards .and orange groves which fringe the .Neapolitan coast. I-OTE AND LIFE TEUE THEIUS. Conchetta was pretty with the luscious prettiness of the South. Her playfellow, Carmina, possessed a stalwart form .and a fair share of good looks. Their hearts were young and passionate. The sunshine and tho scent of the orange crovo stole into their souls; and they fell in love as the becfliesto honey. But Carmina and bis little sweetheart were poor. All the stars in heaven were theirs; but of earthly goods 'they had none. Tbo bad sea son of 'bS plunged tbe peasantry of Basilacata into dire distress. The vintage failed, and dur ing the long winter things went irom bad to worse. Finally, old "Babbo" Mordcste sold bis tiny vineyard to buy bread: and trudged with bis family to Naples. That was a wol ul parl iug between Carmina and Concbettal But it was only one ot many partings wbich occurred in Basilacata that sad winter. At Naples Conchetta lid not forget her lover, but she worked hard to help her father. In tbo spring her mother died, winch was another severe blow to her tender heart. Then work grow very scarce, and with all their hoarding, the Mordeste family were almost penniless again. But plucky Couelietta conceived a graad idea by which to relievo their troubles. COSC1IETTA STRIKES AS IDEA. , At Naples there wero ships bis steamers from far off ports and glorious climes across the ocean. Some sailed to Amenta, that won drous land where the gold and silver ate more plentiful than the orange blossoms at Basila cata. So little Conchetta said to herself: "V'hy should not the 'Babbo' and little Pcpita sail with me to this America tbey tall: of? In a little whilo we should be rich; and then-I could send money to Carmina and bring blm out to our palace over there! It is a grand thought. Wo will go!" And go they did. Without tcllins Carmina one word about it; lest bo 'might object to her plan.. Conchetta packed un her household goods and tool; passage with her father and sister for Philadelphia. The oid.'-Babbo" was not very strong-willed. He did not very much care whither he went, if ne got enough to .eat and plenty of time to sleep. So he allowed Conchetta to spend bis last money in the trip to America. Conchetta had km in Pittsburg, so to Pitts burg the little family came. But tho gold and silver did not come so plentifully, and there was sore disappointment among tho Mordcste!. The "Babbo" worked a while with a firm of contractors and earned a little money. Con. chutta. however, was tbe real supporter of.-tlio family. All day long she trudged about the "Kill." peddling apples, oranges and cheap trinkets. At night sho and little PepitE, slaved at needlework, making children's dresses and underwear for a lit'.lehirt store oil Wylie avenucandso tiuie Sped on. The Mordestes had arrived In Pitts- bunrourlngtbeMay of 1SS9. By the summer j 01 ion mere were several mg, ungni suvcr uoi lars hidden away in Couchetta's narrow room on High street. COSCHETTA DISArFOIJCTED AGA1X. Carmiua's passage money was being rapidly earned. But there is a demonjrbu loves to vex and torture trusting love. ''Babbo" Mordeste fell sick fiom night exposure aud damp, and Dr. Leonardo Nardyz was summoned to attend him. Thus it was tiiat the doctor caure to learn tbe story of Conchetta. In caring for tbe father he came to take an. interest iu the beauty and orrows of the daughter. Through bit good offices the girl obtained a situation with a prominent Italian fruit film on Penu avenue. From that time 'forth her finances began to look up, and tbe big dollars quite filled tbe old stocking by her bedside. At lost, in October the fruit of lier labor was won. She bad save. I enougb raonev to bring -Iter old sweetheart to Pittsburg. Then came consulta tions with Consul Max Schauuiberg and Dr. Nardyz, followed .y the sending, of a letter to the pastor of Couchetta's old village home. The letter contained a money order, payable to one Carmina Gioillo. Alas, there wan yet anotbcr'obstarlcto Con chetta's happiness. Filled with despair at her leaving Carmina had left his homo and'was supposed to have joined a band of brigands in the mountains. But the kipdly old pastor wrote that be would at once commence asearch for the mlssingswain. During all October and November Conchetta lrvod in hope and prayed to the Virgin for Canuinj's welfare. Her pray ers were answered! Ou the 3d of this month she received a letter from' her friend, tbe pas tor. After a tedious search Carmina had been found, sick and poor, among the lazzaroni of Naples. "As -soon as he recovers," wiote tbe good pTiest, "I will send him out to you, my dauguter." . A GRAND AND IfArPT FUrALE. From that time all was wild itnpitlence at tho bouse on High street.' Even the sickly "Babbo" caught some of tho contagious happi ness and left bis bed. And on the 21m of De cember Christmas Eve tho long-expected, loog-soucht Carmina clasped his heroic little sweetheart in bis arms. O! course, after that everything went mer rily as the traditional marriage bell. New Year's Day is a creater feast day than Christ mas among the Italians; so the wedding of Carmina and uoncuetta. was postponed, until the New Year. Yesterday attended by the aged "Babbo." youns Pepita, "and nearly JO cousins and friends, the lovers inarched into the marriage liceuse office,' and asked tor the documents necessary lor their- union. And last night, in the High street bouse, tho twain were wedded. It was a novel wedding and a fitting close to such a romance The younc people stood with hands clasped awaitiug the strOlto'Of midnight. Nearby stood the clergyman, prepared to .say the words which were to make tbehi one. All around sat friends, with brimming glasses of sparkling "lachryma chrisfl," the national drink of fair Italy. That lachryma christi came all the way from Basilacata. and had been sent by the old pastor, Couchetta's friend and Carmiua's tinder. The moment 12 o'clock Sounded tbo wedding began, and at its conclusion all tho guests raised high their bumpers of .lachrytna christi and cried in joyful tones, .".i la salute!' Then followed festivity and frolic, which did not end until the gray dawn of mornins. AHOTHEE MAY SULLIVAN." J Detective Alien Stirs Cp a .Decided Sensa tion in Oakinout.

Qnay Tells VYherein the Weakness of tlie Election Bill Lies. A TEST OF REPUBLICAN HARMONY To Be Made Xext Week on the Passage of the Cloture, Kule. BROOKS HIS CANDIDATE FOR SPEAKER Senator M. S. Quay and his son Dick came np from Beaver yesterday afternoon and registered at the Seventh Avenue Hotel. They left on tbe limited this morning for Washington and Harrisburg. The Senator said he would not stop at the State Capital for the opening of the Legislature. He has not been feeling well for some time, and he said he had nojtaken much-interest in public affairs of late. Among his first callers yesterday were Judge Fetterman and Dr. Barchfield. It was rumored that the Senator would name the successor to Judge McKennan, but he denied it last evening, and said he did not know, who. would be appointed. Judge Achcson is the local candidate for the place, and Judge Fetterman is putting in some good licks for him. When the reporters called on Senator Quay yesterday afternoon the Jndgc was busy discussing the Indian troubles with him, and he compared the re cent fight to the Cnstcr massacre. keceived a nu mbek or visiioes. Others who called on the Senator were Postmaster McKean, Collector Warmcastle, United States District Attorney Lyon, ez Arcbitect Malone and N. P. Heed. The Senator was feeling better last evening and was in a talkative mood. When asked about tbe coming Legislature be said: "I think Mr. Brooks will be elected Speaker. He has a strong following and is a good man." "Is it true, as reported, that tbe eouutry Rep resentatives will combine against the cities, and try to elect their own candidate for Speaker?" Well, I haven't heard of such a movement. Tbe country legislators will have some good timber to select from. But the farming dis tricts have never lacked for lezislation. Tbey generally get all that they want." Tub. is the only allusion that Senator Quay made to the influence of tbe firmer in tbe next Legislature. Other State leaders are inclined to believe that the grangers will control legis lation, but this fact remains to bo demon strated. Speaking of National politics be said: "When 1 left Washington a week ago it looked to me as If the Federal clectlon'bill would be passed without much trouble, but I gather from the newspaper accounts of tbe proceed ings in the Senate that tbey have gotten into a snail over the measure. THE ELECTION BILL'S "WEAKNESS. "The great weakness of the bill Is that it is clogging legislation. Other important mat ters, like the silver and lard bills, are pushed aside, while the demand for tbo passage of lans on these subjects can't bo ignored. I have beard how Senators Wolcott and Teller kicked over tbe trace', but I cannot say what effect tbeir action will have. Tho test will come next week when the attempt is made to pass the cloture rule. If it falls to g6 through, it will settle tbe Federal election bill. Tho cloture rule will be something new for the Senate, but it will be nothing like Speaker Heed's method in tbe House. I don't think it was ever intended to stop debate, or to prevent a Senator from talking." When asked if hetbought tbe Democrats and Farmers' Alliance wonld join hands, the Sen ator laughed and said: '"Oh, no. I do not be lieve tbat-tbo Democrats will Indorse tbe plat form of tbe Alliance, but It is too far ahead to speak of tbeir influence. I don't think tho farmers will put an independent candidate in tho field, but It is barely possible that an inde pendent may be nominated in 18U2." HE SPENT THE MONEY. Troubles of a mutual Friend Empowered to Secure a Husband's Release. ', On Tuesday Robert 'Gregg was arrested and placed in jail on a charge of surety of the peace. He was under Warden Berlin's charge for a short time only, when Mrs. Robert Gregg secured the money necessary to obtain her husband's release, for sbo was horrified at the thought of his having to stay in prison all night. The money she entrusted to a mutual friend, John Parker, by name, who was to secure Mr. Gregg his liberty and also settle tbe case. That gentleman almost immediately congratulated himself on his ability to secure the release of Mr. Gregs and also look a drink in honor of that ability. More spirits followed the first in stallment and soon Mr. Parker was a wanderer in the "bad lands" accompanied by the rem nant of Mrs. Grcge's money. In cousequonce Gregg bad to remain in pris on until the hearlnc yesterday morning. Then his wife appeared berore; Magistrate McKenna and told her story. Her husb mil was released, and then a warrant was sworn out for Parker for larceny by bailee. Last night Mr. Parker and bis jag wero found, and when the bells tolled out the old year both wero sleeping peacefully in the county jail. STEEET BOAD MAGNATES.

Tho WUklnsburs United Presbyterian .Con gregation AV111 Move In on Sunday. Tho new United Presbyterian Church, ot Wilklnsburg, is finished, and will be dedicated on Sunday nexr. The edifice is not entirely new, although the changes and improvements upon tbe old one has resulted in almost a com plete rebuilding. Tho work of renovation was commenced last May, and has been continued almost without intermission ever since. The cost of tbo rebuilding will be. about 510,000. The cburch Is of pressed brick, and the style of architectore is composite, leaningsome wbat to tbo Romanesque and Moorish. Inside it presents a handsome as well as restful ap pearance.

The edifice is illuminated by electricity. Three chandeliers depend from the ceiling, and upon each are 15 incaudescent lights of IB candlo power apiece. Adjoining tho church proper, and separated from itonlvby a portiered arch, is tho Sunday school room. This was formerly the church. It has boen beautified in many ways, anil looks as new as the resteer the Lu.lding. The Sunday school room will bold 220 people, so (hat when the two rooms aro turned into one 770 persons can join In the services.

It is said that Mr. Witherow is backed by a wealthy man of this city, and that ,bc Intends to enlarge and otherwise, improve tbe hotel. M'KTNLEY AND TEMPESANCE. How the Greed of "Wine Dealers Discour ages tlto Drinking Habit. Washington Star. Indirectly the greed of the importers of champagne wines appears to be promoting the cause of temperance. Taking advan tage of the increased duty of 51 per case, imposed by the McKinley bill, they have advanced the wholesale price of that article three times that amount, or $3 per case. Following this action, most of the promi nent hotels and restaurants in New York have banded together and marked np the price of the leading brands on tbeir wine lists to SI per bottle. This makes pretty expensive tipple, even for well-to-do people, aud iu facing tbe situ ation thus presented a number of the gilded youths of Gotham arc showing considerable "sand" and more common sense than could have been expected of them. They, too, have banded together, and, while they do not ex actly boycott the swell places to which they used to resort, they are now patronizing those cafes, etc., which are content with smaller profits when they want to "open a hot." Natural result: less champagne consumed. In that aspect ot the matter, the McKinley bill doesn't appear to be a wholly bad meas ure, after all, does it? ' An Enterprising Firm. Tho H. J. Heinz Co., the well-known Keystone Pickljn? and Preserving Estab lishment, taking possession of their new plant in Allegheny on the last day of tbe year was made a most enjoyable occasion. The employes, to the number of 500, assem bled in the palatial ofnees and presented each member of the firm with,, a handsome and valuable souvenir. An appropriate presentation speech was made bv J. Wm. Port3 and very feelingly responded to by H. J. Heinz and the other members of the firm. It was a most enjoyable affair, and being participated in by all the employes demonstrates the most cordial re'atious existing between employer and employe, and will always be the more kindly remembered by all present owing to the pleasiut circumstances surrounding the oc casion. This well-known firm has occupied their old location on First and Second ave nues during the last 25 years. Now, in re moving to their most commodious and ex tensive new plant, where they will have unequalcd facilities for transacting their rapidly growine business.

They also have unrivaled shipping facilities, with their own sidings running directly into the works, connecting with the Pennal It. 11. Co.'s system as well as theB. & O. lines.

The foul sewer odors that enter into the Allegheny river have long been a sonrce of complaint upon the part ot tbe people who live on the north side of tbe river. To work np tbe health people just a little, a petition was presented at tbe meeting last nigbt of tbe Health Committee from tba residents of tbo Eighth ward, in wbicb tbey made a decided kick against tbe sewer, as it is now entering the river near the Rider garbage furnace. They want a proper connec tion between the sewer and tbe furnace, so as to draw tbe air supply required by the furnace from the sewer, and so destroy the gases aris ine therefrom. Tbo petition was laid over for one month. Tbe committee passed tbe Board of Health appropriation, amountingin all to $G.O0O, divided as follows: Four inspectors, KSbO: threo fur nacemen, J1.W0; fuel for furnaces, S5C0; station ery and sundries, 51,320. PLAYING WITH FIGUBES. Present Estimates Will Require a Balloon Ascension in City Taxes. Mayor Gourley has been figuring on tbe tax levy for this year. On the basis of tha appro priations asked for by tbe different depart ments, which amount to 3f.459,2M 16, he esti mates tbe millago for this year will IS and 7-10 mills. Both tbe JIaj or and the Controller tbink the niillaco should not exceed tbe 15 mills of last year and that, therefore, the pres ent estimate will have to be cut. In speaking of tbe matter tbe Mayor said that although Chief Brown's estimate was apparently 520,000 less than last year it was in reality greater, because less 'money was to bo expended tins year on improvements. He also tbouzbt the expenditure of tS.OOO in fitting up Chief Brown's onico was rather extravagant. Controller Morrow positively says the tax levy will not be over; 15 nulls, ami in conse quence many of the estimates will have to be pruned. HYHEN A BIG WHINES.
