THE' EITTSBTIRG- '.DISPATCH. THURSDAY.-AJANUAET;-22i 2891. IV IK '4. 1 r t ft PILL Allegheny County Medical Society Will Hold a Meeting and Make an Appropriation TO PUSH A KETY LEGISLATIVE ACT. Physicians and Surgeons to KccelTe Licenses From a State tum , ining' Board. COLLEGE DIPLOMAS WILL KOT SUFFICE. Huvy rises is B Icflicted Upcn Infrkigrn of tie Kiw Ltir. A special meeting of the Allegheny County Medical Society Trill be called within a few days to provide for an appro priation of fnnds to properly present before the Legislature and have passed an act re quiring that all physicians or surgeons wishing to practice in this Stale be exam ined by a board appointed for that purpose, and must receive a license, somewhat on tbe plan as that required by pharmacists. Tbe subject was to have been brought up at the meeting of the County Medical So ciety held yesterday, but was pushed aside by other business. Tbe proposed act has been fostered by the Pittsburg practitioners, and will receive the support of the profes sion all over the State. The fight against quacks and incompetent practitioners has been waged fiercely, but it has been found impossible under the present laws to correct the evil. The act referred to is expected to remedy the whole matter. It will be remembered that at the meeting of the State Medical Society, last June, a committee composed of the presidents of all the county medical societies was appointed to look up the matter of proper legislation. In turn the general committee appointed one of seven members, who hare drafted the bill to be presented. Necessity of a New Law. As an introduction, the committee says: "As to the necessity of the passage of a law regulating the practice of medicine in this State, it is no longer necessary to argue; when we ronsider the tact that many of our sister States have adopted such laws, and that 20 per cent of applicants for license before those boards have failed, it must be patent to all that we receive more than our just proportion of those who are incompe tent to practice medicine." The bill is entitled "An act to regulate the practice of medicine and surgery, to es tablish a State Board of Medical Exami ners and Licensers, to define the powers of snch board, the qualifications of applicants for license, the manner of licensing and making appropriations for said board." The "whereas" recites the dangers to health and human life by allowing incom petent physicians and burgeons to practice. The bill then toes onto provide for a cor rective. The proposed State board of med ical examiners is to be composed of nine members, appointed by the Governor, three to serve for one year and three for two years and three for three years in the first instance, and thereafter annually the Governor shall appoint three member as the terms of office expire." No two members can be from one county and none shall be connected with any medical school. Tbe bill is written to become operative on July 1, 1S91, the appointments to be made by the Governor one month after the passage of the bill and the board to be organized within three months after appointment. Two regular meetings, in Pittsburg and Philadelphia respectively, will be held each year, and other special meetings as re quired. A FrcttyStiff Examination. The applicants will be examined in anat omy, physiology, chemistry, toxicology, pathology, hygiene, materia niedica and therapeutics, principles of medicine, sur gery and obstetrics. The examination pa pers will be numbered, that the name of an applicant may not be known by the board of examiners. Practitioners, who have complied with the present laws betore tbe act becomes operative, will not be afiected by the new act. Neither will it apply to those in the United States service, practitioners coming to tbe State to consult with other doctors or dentists. All others who wish to practice in tbe State must be 21 years old, have a regular medical college diploma and must pass tbe required examina tion, before they can get a license. Discretion Is "ranted tbe board regarding the acceptance ot licenses from similar boards in other States in lieu of examination. 1 he fee for examination is placed at J20, and tbe extreme penalty lor practicing without a licence is a tine ol JoOO for each offense. The lees are expected to pay, in a creat measure, tbe expenses incurred liy the board. It is cited that the proposed jet will of neces sity raise the standard ot some medical colleges. a tbey will literally be shorn ot their powers ot fitting phjslciaus all ready for business, shingle and all. Loopholes In the Present Laws. It is staled that the present laws also have seme loopholes through which practitioners and quacks from other States can nractice in this State. Dr. W. 6. Foster, of Allegheny, is secretary of the committee which drew up the bilL The annual meeting of the Allejrhcny County Medical Society held yestcrdav resulted in the following pensous being elected for the ensuing term: President, T.

Inspector McAleese and Detective McTigUe Catch. Two Burglars by Blood Marks. Tbe fine work of tbe city detectives is seldom made public In the police reports. An instance of it came up yesterday when George Derry and Charles Robinson were held for robbing tbe store of W. K. Lipplncott, on Smithfleld street. The story back of it is that when Inspector McAleese and Detective McTlghe went to work on the case they found tbe store had been opened by someone breaking the glass beside the lock and then pulling back the bolt. In breaking tbe glass the thief bad cut bis band, for there were a number of drops of blood both at the door and at the desk from which the money was taken. They at once arrested George Derry, a porter at the biore, because be had a slight cnt un the back of bis right band. The man did not have any money, and denied having stolen any. He said be bad stayed with Charlie Kobiuson all sitrht n Wylie avenue. Robinson was then arrested, and told that Derry accused him of stealing his money. The man fell into the neat trap at once, and said Derry's inonev was safe, and that Derry bad asked him to take care of it.. A search of Robinson's place was made, and S30 in cash found. Etch the money was stained with blood, and therefore both men were held for burglary. A Johnstown Iron Worker Missing. Mrs. John 15. Ryan, of Johrvtown, yesterday made inquiries .t police beaiVjuarters regard ing her busb.yid, who dlsapr-red from his homo at Moxeil on November 8, 1890.

Illness, Fires a Bullet Into Bis Head, but Will Probably Recover. Charles Mench, who for several weeks past has been employed as a clerk in the office of the engineer of maintenance of way of the Fort Wayne road, attempted to commit sui cide yesterday afternoon by shooting himself in the head at his boarding bouse. No. 41 Mor gan street, Allegheny. Mench, who is a civil engineer by profession, has lived with Mrs. S. J. Jones, at the above number, since the mid dle of last month, and has been sick much of the time. Yestcrdav morning be went to work as usual, but about 10 o'clock returned home, telling his landlady that he bad called upon Dr. Rankin, bis attending physician, who urged him to go to bed and rest. Before be went to his room he told Mrs. Jones not to call him for dinner. Her husband went to the room twice abont noon, but Mench, who seemed to be in good spirits, said that he needed nothing. He re marked, though, that be was afraid of becom ing sick, and thought It better to go to the hos pital wbere be would not cause so much trouble. Re was told that it be did not care to leave tbe house be should stay, and that he would be well taken care of. Several hours later Mrs. Jones heard a sharp raport, followed by a heavy fall. Going to Mench'sroom.sbo found him on the floor, with tbe blood cushlnc from a wound in tbe lett temple. Dr. Gray, who lives across the street, wasseut for, and later Dr. Rankin was sum moned. When the latter asked him whether he had shot himself, ho replied that he had. and was sorry that he had not mado a better job of it. He asked for the pistol repeatedly, declaring that be wanted to die. When taken to the Allecbeny General Hos pital it was found that be bad lost a great deal of blood. The bullet had not fractured any bones, but had plowed its war under the scalp, cominc out on the right side. He became so violent that it was necessary to keep one of the attendants constantly at his side to prevent Mm dome himself further violence. When first taken in be seemed to bo out of his mind, and declared that they should not again send him to Drxruont. He told the doctors that they had belter let him die, as he would surely kill him self. The man Is no doubt insane, though tbe people with whom he lived say that he was always gentlemanly and quiet in his manners. He told them that all hU people lived in Ger many, and that be bad been in this country five years. He was resting easy last night. Mench Is about 30 years old. DIED IN CENTRAL STATION, Peculiar Circumstances Surroundlnc; the Death of J. B. Batler Life Ended With a Song A Letter From His Sister in Brooklyn Begging Him to Reform. A party of colored men ocenpied several cells in Central station last night They had clear, mellow voices, and were singing some of, tbe most plaintive ditties of the South. In the next cell Dr. 'Mover and Inspector McAleese were bending over one of the hard beds where a man lay dying. Tbe singers knew nothing of the scene beside them, and, as the last cadence of their song died away, tbe heart of tbe unfortunate ceased beat ing, and for a moment there was a dead silence, until it was broken by a ribald song of a drunken man. That broke the spell. 2 ha Coroner was called and soon the remains were hauled away to the morgue. The man bad been arrested for drunkenness at Second avenue and Grant street at 9 o'clock and at 1020 he was dead. He was. or rather had been, a good looking man. with a light mustache. He wore a plug bat, a little the worse for tbe wear, and a suit that had come from the bands of a Erst-class tailor before he went on his last drunk. In his pocket was f onnd a letter addressed to J. H. Butler, 198 St. Clair street, Cleveland. It was from his siter in Brooklyn and was dated January 4. The sister reproached him for not writing to her for three months, from the way she wrote it was evident that Butler bad been a drummer and was in Chicago last fall, bnt when she wrote was In Cleveland without any money. She tells him his bad luck all comes from drinking, and all through the letter were ap peals for him to quit drinking, as she put it, "even at tbe eleventh hour." She speaks of having sent money and would have sent more, but she was afraid he would spend it for liquor. It is supposed that death was caused by alcoholism Coroner McDowell notified the police authorities of both Brooklyn and Cleve land. ALL'QuVESIIONS INCLUDED. Allegheny's Tangled Knot Formally Laid Before the Supreme Court. Arguments in the Allegheny mandamus case were heard by the Supreme Court yesterday. D. T. Watson, as attorney for Mayo : Wyman, argued that the State's classification of cities according to population did not aftect Alle gheny as a municipal corporation, and when the city went into the second class she took with her property.ofucers, laws and ordinances, and these become ana remain such property, officers, laws and ordinances of tbe city of the second class. Also that the legislation of 1S87 and 1889 not only did not cut short tbe term of the Select Conncilmen that were elected nnder the cit)'s charter of 1570, but plainly provided that only their successors were to be elected, and these not until the term of the old Council men bad expired. As counsel for Mr. Carson, Georco Elphln stone claimed that tbe unrepealed local laws for Allegheny, enacted before 1874, are still in force, and Councils should be elected m ac cordance therewith. He said that no increase of population could have made Allegheny a city nf either tbe first, second or third class un less the act of 1SS9 could be so construed. He, further areued that Allecheny changing her rank under the act of 1S89 wonld not be con trolled by the laws regulating the second class ot cities created nnder the Wallace act. Tbe act of 1SS9, counsel claimed, is nnconstitutional, upon tbe gronud that it contains more than one subject of legislation. TO ABBIV TO-DAY. George Westinghonse, Jr., Will Ilavo Some tiling Interesting to Say on Affairs. There seemed to be some increase in confi dence yesterday in the Electric Company com passing its difficulties, but conerally there was a disposition to await tbe result of Mr. West Inghouse's Kastern trip. That gentleman will arrive this morning, and during tbe day will have some important statements to make. The report of the local creditors' committee on placing preferred stock -will be submitted to day. Mr. Wcstinghouse is well known as being of a very sansmne temperament, and his latest advices to friends here point to a firm belief in his ultimately weathering the storm. Ho re ports good success In tbe East, and this is re ported as reassnring by bis friends, since tho strongest antagonism evinced toward the Wcst inghouse interests is from that quarter.' A WIFE AT EACH STATION. Solomon Sells Arrested for Enjoying Matri mony in Two Different States. Solomon Selig was arrested yesterday for be ing too much married and also for perjury. The prosecutor is Frank Nllan, and the case was brought before Alderman McMasters. The zllegation in the case is that Selig, through perjuring himself, succeeded in mar rying Miss Kate T.

Tilers Gain Their Demands for Shorter flours and More .Pay. DAILY GRIST PKOM LABOR CIRCLES Yesterday was an eventful day for D. A. 3, K.ofIi. The first quarterly meeting of the new year was held, and it was full of surprises, .to say nothing of the large amount of important busi ness that was undertaken. The feature of the day was the election of officers, it having been almost universal ly thought that there would be some radical changes in the executive list. Jdaztcr TTo kman -.. Workman J.Ij.Jvans. Evans, who was a candidate for re-election, had a strong opponent in the person of H. F. Dcmpsey, the "Worthy Foreman. The latter's friends had been working earnestly for the last month, and, a day or two ago, they thought they had their candidate elected by at least from 5 to 10 votes, Mr. Evans own friends felt pretty nervous over his chances, and went into the convention with pretty low spirits. It sud denly occurred to the three representatives from L. A. 1630, Mr. Evans' assembly, that they, could return their favorite candidate to power, and they set about to perform the task. The contest was known to be so close that ten votes would carry it either way. Their play was to offer the secretaryship the assembly that would produce those ten votes for Evans that had been pledged for Dempsey, and as the Corkwnrkers' Assem bly was tbe only one that had ten delegates present, the proposition was made to them. Evans Returned as Master Workman. The possession of the District Secretaryship meant more to L. A. 98G3 than the defeat of Mr. Evans, and they quickly accepted the proposition. When the votes were counted Mr. Evans bad 20 to his credit as against Dempsey's 18. The next fight was on the Secretaryship. G. J. Snyder and E. Hoechstetter, of 4907, and Harry E. Spot del, of 9SG3, were tbe candidates. Hoech stetter bad been promised the sup port of more than a sufficient num ber of votes to elect him, but when the cork- . vi workers got a cm- jf) ornate in tne neiu, wka, , they began toVKflJ nnstie torsupport era. Hoechstetter had worked hard against Mr. Evans, and when this fact became known, he Mrt. Laura A. Powell. lost Evans' dele- the Retiring- Secretary. sates, allowing Speidel to win by the same ma jority that was given to the Master Workman. As an evidence of bis fitness for an important position in the district, Mr. Deinpscy was re-, elected Worthy Foreman without opposition. I The principal offices being tilled, the ro mainder of tho election passed off quietly. John D. Hughes was opposed by John Eastley for treasurer, but tbe former was. elected by a vote of 27 to 10. The new Execntlve Hoard is as follows: I. X. Ross, of L. A. 1030: John Fer neau. 1371; Frank Vincent, 212G;- Fred Stoebr, 7190; John Eastley, 294G. and O.'C. Groomes, 4DU7. Trustees. Frank Vincent, L. A. 2120; James Sianson. 4907. and G. J. Snyder. 4907. The next thing tbe district proceeded to do was to place itself on recod as being in favor nf enforcing the principles upon? which the Knights of Labor are built andsome aggressive work is indicated by the passage, -of a number of resolutions. To Satisfy the Salcsrn'cn. The first one provided for a confmittee to be appointed to visit L. A. 300 to notify them that a Smitbneld street furnisher has' a non-union establishment. A circular wasordered to be sent to be sent to all local assemblies and other labor orgrnizations in Western '"Pennsylvania, Eastern Ohio and West Virginia', reciting the circumstances. This action is said to be in ac cordance with an agreement signed by the mer chants and tbe salesmen. t Another committee was appointed to visit the Building Trades Council -at their next . meetinc for the pur pose ojf ascertaining their position in ret renco to the union of salesmen lately organized in this city under .-the Federa tion of Labor. It was reported to the dis trict that some nf the Building Trades f-- vuuiuut ijau ueenas fisting the union. This 1s the union tfa WhlChrASllH6f1 frnm fj. tbe late striko nf the ti'Y1 salesmen. Jlr.

In this case there is a division of opinion, and when the committee reports to-daj-there will be a lively discussion on the subject; The routine proceedings of tbe day were as follows: There were over 40 delegates present.

Master Workman Evans read his annual report, in which be reviewed the various difficulties during the year and gave details In each case. The question of effecting au amicable settle ment of the difficulties now. existing", between the K. of L, and the Federation was strongly recommended by Mr; Evans, 'and it' is thought that some sort, of ai .arrangement as suggested by him will bo reached. Mr. Evans also referred to tbe Ihmscn caso On' the South Side,and stated that unless the difficulty there is arranged by January 28 tbere will be a strike ordered. He also referred briefly to the Pleasant Valley difficulty, the sight of which be has not entirely lost yet; to 'the salesmen's difficulty, tbe corkworkers' trouble, which is still pending, and several other Saatters of less Importance. The last report of tbaretirlng Secretary, Miss Laura Powell, was a carefully prepared docu ment, showing an increase of 1.5UO members during the year, and that'the .district Ulna prosperous condition. Miss Powell recom mended that the Incoming secretary be required to give only ten hour? a week to his office, and the salary be reduced from J7U0 tor-W The rec ommendation was adopted, and in recognition of tbe long and falthtul aervfee Miss Powell has rendered to tbe distr'et, a resolution was adopted appointing George-R.

Many of the members' wives and daughters were also present, which added not a little, to the interest of tbe occasion and atoned for the long wait at the commencement of the meeting, which was not called to order until an hour and a half after the time published. Soon Warmed TJp tho Convention. The aspect at first was forbidding. The Opera Honse is a reconstructed skating rink capable of seating 2,000 people on the ground floor aud it hasn't any other. As it is ex ceeding well ventilated, and the cold wave flag was flying in Canonsburg, tbe first arrivals shivered with apprehension. Their tears were allayed, however, when to steam heat was added.that of two stoves, each larger than a flour barrel, and some CO jets in the chandeliers, all fed with natural gas at blgb pressure, and the further assurance that the flag machinery was frozen and that its flying was not signifi cant of anything but neglect. In less than an hour the building was so warm that outer wraps were shed and some asked if etiquette would allow of shirt sleeve costume- President W. R. Craighead called the meet ing to order at 11 o'clock, about half of the members answering roll call. Secretary J. C McNary read the minutes of tbe last meeting, financial report of Treasurer J. B. Johnston, etc In reference to a dispute at last meeting where the chair had been overruled, Presideut Craighead said he had Investigated aud found that his ruling was incorrect. He said be bad gotten narllamentary practice, and that of the General Assembly of tbe church confounded and admitted that parliamentary rather than church law should prevail in a sheep growers' convention. Messrs. J. H. Hamilton, J. B. Wylie and W. B. Pollock were appointed acommiltee to make a suitable minute regarding the death of Colonel C.H. Bell.a member of tbe association, who died in Welisburg, W. Va.. the 21st of last February. Expelled for Tabbing Inferior Sheep. A resolution to indefinitely snspond J. K. Bailey for tabbing sheen Improperly as delaines was called up and Secretary McNary said it was imperative that action ot some kind be taken. T. J. Carpenter, of Rutan, Pa., said that at a Carmichaels, Green county, fair a former part ner of Bailey's, Mr. Biddle, had shown an in ferior breed' tabbed delaine, but, tbey did not bear tbe name of this association. Biddle said that J. K. Bailey had furnished the tab-i. On tbe strength ot the tabs tho entire flock had been sold to co to Ohio at a big price. Mr. Carpenter said he had also been informed that Bailey in former years had done the same thing regarding Spanish sheapj It Is charged that 'Bailey had illegally transferred to a man named Long some sheep. Tbe Secretary read tbe law, to the effect that the maximum of punishment is si.uuu uno anu a years imprison ment. A motion to expal instead of indefinitely suspending Mr. Bailey carried without dissent, though but few members voted for it, so the Investigating Committee's report on the sub ject was more than sustained. Answers to Corresponding Secretary McCIel land's correspondence with A. M. Galand, nf Illinois; J. O. Roberts, of Upper Sandnsky, O.; Jirecder' Gazette. ChIcago;.W. J. Lawrence, nf Cleveland; W. A. Harriott, Secretary of tbe United States Delaine Sheen Breeders' Asso ciation; John McDowell. President of tho Pennslvania Agricultural Association, and State Wool Growers' Association, and J. M. Rnsk, Secretary of the Department of Agri culture, was read. Uncle Jerry expressed his regret at his Inability to send a representative of bis department to attend the convention, and Secretary McNary called attention specially to the fact that farmers might be asked to vote for Mr. Rusk for President. Treasurer J. B. Johnston reported a balance in bis hands of !12o 91, and said the publication of 250 copies of the rogister would cost about 5375. James McClelland Stated that the regis ter would be completed some time before April 1. Fixing the Season for Shearing. Mr. McNary said tbere was complaint of fraudulent shearing, and some members had refused to show unless the matter was regu lated. He asked for a concensus of opinion on the subject of time of shearing, etc Mn Edgerton, of Iowa, said ho must compete with all kinds of breeds, and thought it proper that a time be fixed for shearing, nneep shorn early, of course, make a better appearance at shows than those shorn late. John W. Carpenter, of Ohio, said the smooth merino, or delaine merino, was now the fashion and it is bard on those who breed wrinkled merinos, and they want to bring down tbe grade, if possible. He wished tho association to take a firm Stand, so as to secure shearing at a timo when the smooth merinos would show to advantage. Ho said wrinkled wool did not grow so rapidly as the straight Slier. He wanted it settled that sbeep should not be shorn earlier than the first week in April. L. A. Russell and Robert Hamilton agreed with Mr. Carpenter, but tbe latter seemed to think dishonesty so rampant in the show ring that It would be found tbat virtne Is its only reward. Julius Le Moyne was in favor of early shear ing, and doubted whether any code of morality laid down conld make men honest. Ho thought sheep shorn in March suffered less than those clipped In M.iy,-if properly housed and fed. The only way tn succeed is by continued patience in well doing until a reputation for lionony Is obtained. J. B. Hamilton proposed tbat the time fixed for shearing be made so early tbat dishonest men could not take advantage. J. W. Carpenter insisted on tne necessity of a rule and its enforcement, and said that honest breeding would soon keep out of this country Australian wool. J. C. McNary moved that a committee be ap pointed to coufer with committees of other as sociations, and make an effort to secure con formity in time and manner, of shearing, the committee to report at next meeting, breeders refnsiug to comply being debarred the privi lege of showing. Exhibitors to Give Affidavits. J. W. Carpenter suggested that fair boards be asked to adopt tbe rule and requlro affi davits from exhibitors. Julius Le Moyne suggested that 'the first part of tbe programme be carried out first. Mr. McNary'simotton prevailed, and each as sociation is asked to lend its assistance to execute any rule that may be agreed upon. It was decided to accept tne invitation to 'at tend the convention of the United States Merino Sheep Breeders at Steubenville on the 23ih Inst., aud the meeting of the Pennsylva nia Agricultural Association at New Castle. This occupied the time until tbe banquet table was set, and an adjournment was had to debate that Issue. The table was decorated in character. A make-believe little sheep bleated pathetically when its head was pressed, and the only fault f ouud with it was that it was a chev iot in appearance and not a merino. With shep herds' crookr, lams' horns, etc,, the table was mado symbolical of the character of the meet ing. After dinner John McDowell, ot Washington, R. W. Carotbers, nf Taylorstown, and A. G. Howard, ot Iona, Mich., were elected members. It was announced that volume 4 of tbe reg istry wonld be paid for and distributed pro rata among members according to tbe number of sheep tbey register, the association to keep a certain number of conies In common stock. It was decided "to add three to tbe Executive Committee, bnt the selection was lett to the incoming officers. Officers nd Committees Named.

The committee to fix time of shearing and lengtlrof stubble allowed is composed of James Beall, of West Virginia. J- W. Carpenter, of .Ohio, and L. A, Rnssell. of Pennsylvania. President Craighead stated that as the pres ent officers ot tbe association bad served 10 years ho thought they ought to be allowed a furlough, and an election was held. Jame Mc Clelland refused tne presidency, and J. B. Johnston, of Canonsburg. was elected. J. C. McNary was re-elected Recording Secretary, J. H. Hamilton Corresponding Secretary, and W. a. Pollock Treasurer. J. W. Carpenter revamped his resolution ask ine that fair boards be asked to taice cog nizance of time and manner of shearing, but, as a member of a committee appointed for that purpose, tbe chair ruled tbat Carpenter's reso lution was superfluous, and refnsed to recog nize tbe further consideration of the subject given that committee to consider. President Craighead ruled that the new offi cers sbonld select tbe Executive Committee. Tne association adjonrned to meet tbe third Wednesday of January, 1832. LIVING OK THE ROAD. . Tough Experiences of Commercial Men at Country Hotels. "Talk about a life on the road," said a local commercial agent at tbe Monongahela Honse yesterday, "I don't like it. I remember when I used to travel 8,000 miles a month aud not mind it: but I wouldn't do it now. One day yon have a stomach full of sonp and the next day you fill up on snowballs and buds, if it happens to be during the winter season, at a country hotel. "The average country hotel, by the way, is bad enough, but the worst one I ever strnck was tbe Rust Honse. at Luray. It is a low, squatty bonse of stone, that was huilt.probably several hundred years ago. The roo f and sides are overgrown with moss, that is covered with a creen slime a foot thick. The walls on tbe Inside have the same green veneering, and every man that has bad the nerve to stop tbere has left his autograph written on the walls with his finger. "They have no porters or regiiters at this hotel. There Is no one to receive yon, and you pass into tbe little hallway with your baggage, stumbling over a conple of lean and hungry dogs. You are left to look for your room, and as a rule they never have more than one guest in tbe house at tbe same time. People never go back, and wags sometimes recommend friends for a joke. Tbe beds are made on the trestle order, and close np like a foldingbed. I had an old leather tick and one quilt tbe night I stayed there. Tbe bed collapsed with me, and I almost strangled boroie I got out. But the boys on tbe road have lots of snch ex periences, and only a man with clear con science, an lion constitution and a love for hu manity could stand tbe racket long. Do I like it? Well, let ns have a drink." MORE OF THE AGONY. Two More Witnesses Examined In the Amoskeog Engine Case. Tbe bearing before Master George P.Ham ilton in tbe suit against tbe city on tbe Amoskeag eneine case was continued yesterday afternoon. Only two witnesses were examined. Thomas Manning, an engine manufacturer and repairer of engines, of Cleveland, O., testi fied that in a long experience and a thorongh knowledge of the mechanism of tbe various manufactures of fire engines he considered the Amoskeag tbe best hro engine in the market, being superior in workmanship, construction and durability to any other made, especially in a city like Pittsburg where all engines were of the same make, repairs were simplified and cheapened. John Vandeveldt, also of Cleveland, who will be remembered as the judge selected by Pitts bnrg in tbe proposed engine test with Alle gheny abont a year ago, gave testimony which practically corroborated that of Mr. Manninc. while admitting tbat he was probably preju diced in favor of the Amoskeaz engine, hc;tes tifled tbat the principles ot mechanism used in the Amoskeag had been demonstrated to be in advance of other fire engines and were superior in practical results whenever tried. Both witnesses testified that tbey would will ingly pay $425 more for an Amoskeag engine than for any other of the same class, tbat being tho amount claimed by tbe -plaintiffs as being paid for an Amoskeag over the next bid. HE'S NOT A POLICEMAN NOW. How a Southsldo Bobby Terrorized the Peo ple on His Beat. James Cawley, a sub-policeman, was detailed to the Pine street beat Tuesday night, Barney Smith, the regular man, being sick. About 11 o'clock the same night a crowd of men burst into the Twenty-eighth ward station and said tbey wanted Cawley arrested. Henry rReevesrJ one of tbe number, said that eight men were, sitting in Lorenz Mantz's saloon, at tbe head of South Eighteenth street, when suddenly both doors opened and Cawley came In, and demand ed to know what was the trouble. He was told there was no trouble, and Mantz told him to leave, when Cawley whipped out his revolver and proceeded to make things lively. He finally went ontside, bnt threatened to exterminate the first man that showed his bead. The men were nearly scared out of their wits, and finally escaped by a back door. Lieutenant Johnston went to the spot.and im mediately took Cawiey's badge off, telling bim to consider himself suspended. Mrs. George Knnkel, whose place is at the head ot Sonth Eighteenth street, said Cawley walked into ber kitchen and said be was hun gry and wanted snmethinc to eat. She never saw him before. He had his appetite appeased. HAVE L03T THE1B WITS. Insane People Locked Up in the City Hall of Allegheny.

Willie Irwin to Ask for $30,0U0 for tlie Death of His Parents, BURKED IN THE DICKSON FIBE, At the Corner .of Ninth Street and Pen! Avenne a Few Weeks Ago. SUIT WILL BE FILED TO-UOEROW A suit for $30,000 damages growing out of the burning of the J)ickson block, at the corner or Ninth street and Penn avenue, a few weeks ago, in which two people were killed, will be filed in Common Pleas Court to-morrow afternoon. George C. Wilson and David McCann, attorneys for Willie Irwin, are preparing the papers in the case, and will ask for the above amount for the death of the boy's father and mother and injuries to himself in the fire. The defendants in the suit will be Dr. John Dickson, his wile, Mrs. Sallie Dickson, and daughter, Miss Agnes, reputed owners of the property. ' - The fire, which occurred a short time after midnight, it will be claimed, secured such headway as to prevent escape, as tbe build ing was not properly prepared for a fire. At first it was believed that the woman, only, perished in the flames, as it was claimed that the man had been seen on tbe street. However, a search of the building revealed his charred remains on the third floor. His Parents Both Found Dead. Mrs. Irwin was lound dead at the foot of the stairway leading from the second to the third floor. Her body was covered with plaster which fell from tbe ceiling. It was supposed tbat she fell down tbe stairs in ber attempt to escape and was so stunned as to be unable to get away.
