City Attorney of Pittsburg for years, and in
that position necessarily became conversant
with'matters pertaining to street legislation,
an2, in fact, drafted ninch of it. A decision
from him will have much weight."
.Chief Eigelow felt relieved yesterday
when he knew that the attorneys had de
cided upon a definite course of action. He
said: "We will get a decision from the Su
preme Court in time to have a new street act
nasved at this session of the Legislature. It
is likely that one of the bills already pre
sented and on the calendar will fill all the
requirements, but if not we will amend it to
incct the views of the Supreme Court,
and in that way we will lose
no time. Jnst as soon as we
get the decision and know just where we
stand, we'll have a curative drafted and pre
eeuted to the Legislature. By this means
wc will be enabled to settle up the street im
provements just completed or still under
way. I think the amount of contracts ai
Jected by J usticc Williams' decision is not
near so large as many people imagine, and
I think the city's loss on this worK will be
very small, if, indeed, she loses a dollar."
SO MOEE HALT-HOLIDAY.
The Westinghouse Klectric Company Enshcd
With Jciv Order.
The Westinghouse Electric employes t ill not
cet their halt-holiday to-morrow as they hive
done heretofore. Man) lirge orders hate been
received lately, which, coupled with the dciro
to reduce operating expenses. Is responsible for
this new rule
Iho men are satisfied to lose the half-holiday,
but they bare decided not to put up any of
their wares to assist the company. The sub
scription its circulated some time agobae
not been signed very extensively, and the mi
nority who were m it will now stay out of tho
scheme altogether.
IH A STBAKGE IAND.
A Tarty Tlhose Keliance for Food and
Shelter Depends on a I'ieco of Taper.
Two men and a woman stood at the corner of
Sixth avenue and SmllhQcld street, last nicht,
at 10 o'clock. The had just arrived from New
York, where tuey had landed a day or two ago,
in tearch of the "land and work" which they
had been lavishly promised. One of the men
was a Pole, and the other man and his wife were
Hungarian.
When a DisrATcn reporter chanced alone
a colored man was trying to decipher a direc
tion on a niece of paper. Ibis ran as follows:
vSatif Vscharfko. Butler street, Lucey f our
naces, Pitcsburrk,"' in almost unintelligible
writing. He was recommending the party to
take a car to Allegheny, w ben the reporter in
terposed. The Pole, who knew some German,
stated that they had arrived in the city that
morning, from cwlork;that they bad no
money, and were depending on finding Mr.
Vfharf ko's address for a lodging and meal.
All the reporter could do further was to lead
them to Paun avenue and direct them to keep
on walking until they should strike Butler
street. There they could commence to inquire
for their friend. And so toward Butler street,
Tuthoat money, knowledge of the language, or
acquaintance outside of Mr. , this party
of belplcss strangers, with their strange bun
dles and parcels, started ont, and the probabil
ity is that, unable to find Mr. Vscharfko. they
will have to soend the night, hungry and pen
niless, in some dooray if an ofhecr doesn't
run them in as tramps. One-half theu orld
Uiows not how the other half lives, truly.
HOW IT PEELS TO BE WOUNDED.
Yerestchagin Describes tho Sensation of
Being Shot In the Leg.
Since the Vcrestchagm paintings came to
this city a vague statement has been made re
lating to the rrecnt mental or physical condl
t,on ot the famous artist and soldier. The
truth ot the matter seems to be, according to
the New York Hratd, thai Verestchagin is
suffering from nervous prostration, tho result
of overwork augmented by a Serious wound in
the thigh, received some Tears ago, and ihlcli
bas never healed or ceased to trouble the artut
Lieutcn mt Skrjdlnif was trying to torpedo
some Turki-h ironclads in tho Darnbo and
Veiestchagin accompanied him, bent upon
getting mateiial for pictures. An unlucky
shot from one of th big ironclads rut the
conducting electncwireand the Kussian were
unaM to nre their torpedoes. Tho Lieutenant
and Verestchagin came out ot the scrimmage
b the skin of their teeth, but not until both
hid been wounded.
In his whimsical way the artist has told how
he g"t that wound and the sensations that ac
companied it: There came a violent crash
undtr me and a blow on the hip such a blow
as might have come from an ax. I fell head
long, bat got up immerliateh Although I was
able to stand upright, yet I felt a discomfort in
my right leg, and 1 began to feel the Dart. My
trousers were pierced in two places, and my
finger -n ent right into the flesh. And so this is
be.ug wounded. How simple it i! Iliad al
ways thought it more comnlicated."

clently to go to his home In Allcntow n without
assistance.
The pole was made of iron, and became
charged by an electric light wire coming in
contact with it, which was removed a short
.time after the man was shocked.
STOCK GOING WELL
George "Weslinglionsi', Jr., Betnrns
From Kew York, and Says That
Be Had Splendid Success.
DECIDED TO SELL 40,000 SHAKES.
The Amount Thus Eaised Will Surely Tide
Over the Electric and Manufactur
ing Company.
A CIRCULAR TO THE SlOCKnOLDEUS.
Stenti That Glincd Circalsuon Teittrtay Denied by
All Ctrernti,
George 'Westinghouse, Jr., returned from
Xew York yesterday morning, but he posi
tively refused to see any reporters. How
ever, he was interviewed through the
medium of his colored clerk and Secretary
Untergratt
"The Eastern parties will do their share,"
he said, in answer to questions submitted to
him on a sheet of paper, "but look to Pitts
burg for a substantial co-operation, and I
feci that such co-oneration will be accorded
by those who are interested in' maintaining
this industry in Pittsburg. I would like to
say that there were full reasons why the
Advisory Board should return the checks
for the subscriptions. It was obvious to them
and to me that the sum of 5500,000 was inade
quate without the aid of the stockholders
and creditors, and on this latter point the
committee had reasons to think that the aid
that has now been largely offered would be
withheld. My only objection to the action
was as to the time."
Mr. Westinghouse further said be under
stood from Mr. Bannister that the local
creditors were doing their best in the matter,
and that everything is moving alon; swim
mingly. Official Circular to tho Stockholders.
An official circular signed by Mr. West
inghouse, was issued from the office of the
Electric and Manufacturing Company, yes
terday. It stales that 20,500 shares have
been subscribed and assurance given which
will bring the amount to 25,000. The con
ditions are that at least 40,000 shares be
taken, and the time has been extended to
Jannary 31.
The circular further declares that the
placing of 40,000 shares will entirely relieve
the compiuy of its financial difficulties and
place it in a position to push its business.
In closing it says: "You can feel assured
that the conditions upon which your sub
scriptions is asked make it entirely free
from risk."
Secretary TJptergraff was asked regarding
a statement published yesterday morning to
the effect that the foreign Airbrake Com
pany, Limited, of London, had decided to
pay Mr. Westinghouse a salary of $30,000 a
year and 5240,000 for improtements, which
was "a tidal wave of success from across the
ocean." It was also said that the payment
of the latter sum is to be made by the
issuanceof temporary loan bonds. A smile
spread over the countenance of the Secretary
as be replied:
Tidal Waves That Travel Slow.
"That wonld have been news several
months ago, as that business was all at
tended to last July. Circulars may have
arrived in the city yesterday, but none came to
this office. However, a matter that occurred
so long ago could have no bearing on the pres
ent difficulties."
Other officials who were interrogated on the
subject remarked that it made "good stuff to
fill un on" in a pinch, as it could no: in any way
affect the present condition of the company
Anotner story secured slight circulation yes
terday to the effect that Mr. Westinghonso had
given bis personal attorney, William Scott, a
deed ot assignment to take effect If the Kastern
trip proved unsuccessful Everybody in a po
sition to know laughed at the idea, as Mr.
Westinghouse went to New York with the firm
conviction that he would meet with abundant
success. The attorney himself declared that
there was no foundation for the story, and Mr.
Westinghouse seemed to feel that this was the
Qrt occasion for levity since bis troubles began,
lie denied tho wholo story, ann declared that
not an iota of truth could be sifted from the
chaff.
Snecess of the .Local Creditors' Committee.
The local creditors' committeo reported yes
terday that iu success is first class and that
everything is moving for the best interest of
all. The majority of the creditors see the mat
ter in the favorable light and are subscribing
for nearly the full amount of their claims.
"While I can't give any figures," said J. B.
Haines, Jr., jesterday, "I can assure you that
the most sanguine expectations ot the commit
tee arc being realized. I have an appointment
to see Mr. Bannister to-night, but am not ready
to make an report to him."
Two gentlemen who came out of the office of
the Electric and Manufacturing Company yes
terday afternoon were holding an animated
conversation. Ihev had just bad a personal in
terview with tbo officials and seemed to have
gotten some Inside information. One was
heard to remark:
"Oh. everything is all right now, and there Is
certainly no cause to expect an assignment."
"Under present circumstances it is all right,"
replied the other gentleman, "bat it certainly
looked bad for a while."
That seemed to be the general feeling yester
day, and the talk in financial circles hm cer
tainly very favorable to the company. People
were apparently very much Dleased at Mr.
Wcstinghouse's success.
Plenty of Orders on Hand.
1L McL. Harding, manager of the railroad
department of the company, was asked how
they were fixed for work. A pi'e of orders
abont six inches in depth was produced as a
most forcible answer on the side of good busi
ness. "In the railroad department," said he, "we
arc working all our men on full time, but in
some of the other departments a few men have
been laid off. Orders are coming in dally,
though we hive had no very Dig orders lately.
We don't call them big until tbey go above
200,000. htrei-t railroads are being put
in iu all parts ot the country, and
we have just received an ofder lrom
Seattle, Wah. There is no distinction in tbo
sections in n hich electricity as a motive power,
except that tbo far bouth seems to he behind
the other sections of tho country. We have
orders from the extreme East as well as from
the far West.
"Electricity has only been In use as a means
of locomotion for a very few years, but in that
time it has come to the front ver r rapidly. It
is certainly tho best motive power where the
grades do not reach 15 feet to tbc 100 yards. On
bills, of course, cable has the advantage,
though on curves electricity goes ahead
again."
Another Suit Against the Company.
That the creditors in tbc surrounding small
cities are not gaining confidence very rapidly
was evidenced yesterday by a suit filed against
the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing
Company by the Chicago and Erie Stove Com
pany, of Erie. The amount claimed is SC.G52 21,
for good furnished the defendants from Octo
ber 1 to December 6 last.
A representative of the above firm was in the
city tho other day and when the condition of
aft lirs was explained to him he felt perfectly
satisfied. There are a nnmber of other small
creditors in Ene.
Mr. Westlnglwme's XewYork business baa
not all been finished, and he will probably re
turn there immediately. A great many more
shires are yet to be sold, but after the cood
start made it is not thought that great difficul
ties will attend his later efforts. The rapid
cnar.pe tor the better caused considerable
favorable talk in financial circles yesterday,
ana all seemed pleasod that tbe outcome has
been so satisfactory to all concerned.

LOOKING FOR HIS IDA.
John C. Klstncr Wonld tike to Find ills
rretty Idttlo Wire Mystery Surround
ing Her Disappearance An Appeal to
Mayor Gourley Dlvorco Proceedings
Threatened.
John C. Kistner, a good-looklujr young
man, would like to find his pretty little wife,
if only for long enough to tell her that be
will get a divorce "if she does not return to
his bed and board, and incidentallytperform
such little chores as preparing meals and
making the bed.
Considerable mystery surroun'ds Mrs.
Kistner's disappearance. Last Apyl Kist
ner married Ida E. Zink, of Allegheny. The
bride was but lS years bid, andji petite
brunette. The newly-married couple took
up their residence in a little house Id Beltz
boocr borough, and for months everything
moed along smoothly. Kistner is a tool
l ollsher, worked stcadllyandmadegpnd wages.
Mrs. Kistner attended to her household duties,
did not insist upon opera bonnets and a seal
skin sacquo, and was eenerally well-behaved.
East Saturday Mrs. Kistner stayed ont rather
late, and on Sunday was reproached by bcr
husband. Tho storm apparently passed over,
and on Monday morning Kistner went to his
work as usual. When he rcturnedin the even
ing hii wife uas absent, the house was cold and
cheerless, and there were no signs of supper.
Kistner didn't like this sort of thing very
much, but did not say much, as there was no
one to say it to, except himself, and a mono
logue soon becomes monotonous He ate a
cold supper, and after sitting up until a late
hour awaiting his wife, Kent to bed. In the
morning, his wife not having returned, Kistner
neutin search of her. Her parents had not
seen her, and a tour of tbe hospitals and other
public institutions furnished no clew. Mrs.
Kistner had not taken her best rluthmg. and it'
was not probable that she had premedltatedly
started out on along journey.
Kistner continued his search, hut without
avail, until yesterday afternoon, when be deter
mined to ask the assistance of Mayor Uourlcy,
whose name he had seen In the newspaners.
Ho told his story in tho Major's office yester
day afternoon.
"I cannot imagine where my wife has gone,"
said Kistner. "brio bad no bad habits that I
know of, and I don't believe she knew tbe taste
of liquor, hhe is onlj 18 years old and very
pretty; at least, I think so, and 1 believe other
people do, too. I have searched everywhere,
but can find no trace of her. Tbe only time e
ever had any trouble was on Sunday, when I
talked to her about staying out the night be
fore. I wonld like to know If she has left or if
she has met with some misfortune. If sbo has
gone away from me I am going to apply for a
divorce right away. A man who works all day
doesn't want to go home at night and cook bis
own supper and make his own bed. It I do not
find her by Saturday I am going to break up
housekeeping."
Mayor Gourley has his opinions about appro-
E nations, free bridges, parks and such matters,
utisnot an expert in recovering runanay
wives, and therefore could off er the bereaved
husband but little consolation.
THE C0UHT WAS A GEKTIiEMAK.
A Copy or the Marriage license of Virginia
Knox and the Italian.
Kegister Conner yesterday received a request
for a copy of the marriage license Issued to the
Count Do Montercole and Virginia Knox, of
this city. Tbe request came from the attorney
of tbe countess, at Philadelphia, and is sup
posed to be for use in divorce proceedings. In
compliance with tho request a certified copy
of the license was forwnrded.
The license was issued on October 0, 18S8, to
Guiseppe Catnsl. Conte di Montercole, aged 25
vears. and by occupation a "gentleman," and
Virginia Knox, aged 21 years.

LOOKS LIKE TROUBLE.
Tho T. C. Jenkin's Case Hobs Up Very
Serenely in D. A. 3, K. of L
FIGHT AGAINST TBE FOREIGNERS.
A Southern Oil Producer Talks About tho
Eentnckj Field.
C0KKW0RKERS' BCAI.K NOT SETTLED
The quarterly meeting of D. A. 3, K. of
L., wound np yesterday afternoon in a lively
fight over the T. C. Jenkius difficulty, and
tbe indications are that the Executive
Board of the district will order a strike of
the drivers at that establishment on next
Tuesday, unless the discharged driver,
George Birch, is reinstated.
The matter consumed nearly the whole of
the afternoon session. There was a feeling
among some of the delegntes that Birch had
been discharged on purely personal grounds
and a committee-was appointed to interview
the stable boss, Mr. Johnston, on the mat
ter. Johnston was seen, and he stated to
the committee that if he would be given an
opportunity he could prove to the commit
tee's entire satisfaction why Birch had been
discharged, but he would have to meet with
the Teamster's Assembly to produce tbe
evidence.
Referred to tho Teamsters' Assembly.
The matter was settled tor the time being,
by rcferripg it back to the Teamsters'
Assembly with instructions to call upon Mr.
Johnston for his proof of what he had asserted.
A committee from the district and Mr. Johnston
went to tho meeting of the teamsters last
nigLt, where the stablo boss made an unsucess
ful attempt to establish the position he bad
taken in tbe matter. Other members of tbe
assembly said Birch had been discharged be
cause be was known to be a leader in the
Knights of Labor, and they insisted that he
should be reinstated. The assembly, however,
was not disposed to go ont on a strike on its
own responsibility and decided to refer tne
matter to tho Executive Board of tbe district.
After the board approves the action of the as
sembly, tho firm will be asked to reinstate
Bircb, and should they relnse, tbero is no doubt
that a strike will follow.
Another important matter considered was
one relative to the umnlovinent of non-union
men and aliens by Booth & Flinn. A commit
tee was appointed to wait on tbe firm to insist
upon the recognition of organized labor, it is
claimed that while Booth S. Flinn are friendlv
to tbe Knights, they sublet a good portion of
their work to contractors who employ non
union men.
Accepted as a Challenge.
A resolution was passed instructing the
various local assemblies to take up the case
against a Smithfield street furnisher, and urg
ing upon them tbe necessity of letting him
alone as long as he antagonizes the district.
He Is credited with the statement that be
would not employ Knights In his store, ami the
latter accept this as a challenge for a fight,
and they propose to let hlui know what the
patronage of the local Knights amounts to.
Tbe reports of tbo delogates from the vari
ous locals wero received. Tbey proved to be
of an encouraging character, and indicated a
healthy and progressive condition of tbo dis
trict throughout.
Ihe election of court officers to hear and dis
pose of all disputes arising between assemblies
or their members resulted as follows: Judges,
George K. Dabney, James Slauson and John S.
Miller; Judge Advocate, C C. Groomes, and
Clerk of Courts, J. N. Ross. The installation of
officers followed, and tbe district adjourned the
largest and most important meeting it has held
f or tn o ears.
Master Workman Evans said last night be
was highly pleased with the meeting. "It was
one of the most pleasant meetings wo ever
had," said be. "We had no wrangling or fight
ing among the delegates, and the meeting will
result in a large amount of good to tbe dis
trict." I. N. Ross thinks tbe increase in membership
this year will far exceed that of tbe past. It
tbe American Federation takes up the fight
for eight hours be is sure they will be de
feated, and that would create a division in the
Federation ranks that would swell the dis
trict's numbers.
THEY HOLD THE KET.
The Window Glass Situation Attributed to
the Manufacturers.
The closing of the window glass factories,
mentioned In The Dispatch a few days ago,
has had a bad effect upon tbe workmen. Some
of the factories were closed indefinitely, and
the headquarters of L. A. 300, K. of L., is bo.
sieged with men looking for work. There aro
more men out of employment now than there
have been since 1835, and some of the men pro
test against the present condition of things on
tbe ground that the manufacturers promised
that If the McKinley bill passed they would
have steady work.
On this noint Secretary Cake said yesterday:
"In my opinion the present depressed condition
of trade i due to tbe manufacturers them
selves. In the shutdown and fight of 1SS3 it
was alleged that tbe manufacturers kept the
factories doled because they had the key to
tbe situation. Tbe same applies to-day; prices
are high and the consumption is necessarily
larger than last year. There Is no reason why
all tho factories should not be operating In
full."

KENTUCKY T0JHE FRONT.
Lubricating Oil Worth Five Times as Much
as tho Northern Product Found at a
Depth of Three Hundred Teet Pitts
burgers Interested.
Kentucky has developed a proOuct lately
that not only throws Bourbon whisky into
the shade, but promises to destroy the lard
oil business. It is a lubricating oil pro
nounced by experts to be worth five or six
times as mucb as either that of Mecca, Ohio or
Venango in this State.
Mr. Bracken, of Bracken fc Vincent, Mercer
county, was met in the office of Marshall Ken
nedy Co. yesterday, and ho stated that ttey
.had struck lubricating oil in Lawrence county,
Ky., at a depth of 300 feet. The produc
tion, of course. Is not large, but
the well makes some days as much as
15 barrels, on others much less, but an average
of one barrel a day on a few wells wonld be
equal to a mint. All the product so far has
been contracted by a South Carolina Railway
Company at 50 cents a gallon. As a lubricator
it is preferred to lard oil. Mr. Bracken said
that the main cost to far had been building
rigs, and that the well in question, after the
rig IimI been hnilt, cost him 871 to drill.
Bracken Vincent hive leased 20,000 acres
of land in tbe vicinity, and Mr. Bracken's
mission to this city is to secure portable rigs
for drilling shallow wells, and which will make
the cost of operating very small. He is also
distributing samples of tbe oil for testing
purposes. Mr. Bracken has been engaged'
In the oil business for a longtime. He operated
at Pit Hole City, nnd had an interest in tho
Twin nclls. neir the. pioneer United States
well, which produced tho Pit Hole lever. He
finally purchased this famous well, after she
was run down at tne heel, from Sheakly for 5.
This Is near the same neighborhood in which
tbe Kentucky Southern Oil Company is located,
in which several Pittsburgers are Interested.
R. W. Carroll, local manager of tbe American
Tube and Iron Company, is one of tne stock
holders, and stated not long ago tbat the Ken
tucky field promises an adequato supply for
the entire Southern market at a lower rate
tban can be secured in tbe North.
A HEW DISCOVERY.
It Is Possible to Unite Aluminum With

A special dispatch to the current issue of the

McGregor, the mechanical expert of tbat city,
has succeeded in unltingaluminum with glas(
and he claims to bo tbe first who has done so,
A large niece of tho aluminum with a glass
tube in tbe center was turneu in his latbe, and
it was Impossible to detect the joint where they
united.
Heretofore no metal could be made to unite
with glass in which the contraction and ex
pansion were the same, and it is claimed tbat
this will create a revolution in the way ot re
ducing the cost of incandescent lights, as it will
take tbe placo of platinum, which cost $320 a
pound, while tbo new discovery will cost only
10.

Testerday Mrs. Parnan, of East Lib
erty, Again Deserts Her Infant Child.
Infant children seem to be grow ing unpopu
lar in Pittsburg. Every few days some of
the charitable institutions or societies are
called on to find homes for foundlings. Yes
terday only two cases were reported.
A young woman, v, ho gave her name as An
nie McGinlev, called at the office of the Hu
mane Society, with a 3-weeks-oId babe in her
arms, which sho said she wanted to givo away
to some person. Sho did not care just who got
the child, as she stated to Agent O'Brien that
she wanted to get rid of it, so she would never
see nor bear of it again. She stated that she
bad given birth to the child at Fallston, Beaver
county, January 1 last. When she became suf
ficiently -strong she brought tbe cbild to Pitts
burg, with a view of getting it put away some
place at once. For a time, she said, she stopped
at any place she could cet lodging, bhe finally
landed in a convent, where she had tbe child
taken care of until they sent her to the Hu
luano Society yesterday. Tbe child was taken
charge of by tbe Humane Society after the
proper pipers were made out and signed by
her. It was sent to tbe Troy Hill Orphan
Asylum in Allegheny to be reared.
The infant child of Mrs. Mary Parnan, alias
Kate Kecnan, again turned up In police
circles. Mrs. Parnan, it will be remembered,
left her babe, when only a few days old, upon a
doorstep in the East End several weeks ago.
She was then arrested, but subsequently dis
charged upon her promise to take" care of tho
child. The other day she visited a former
friend, Mrs. Lizzie Clark, in tbe rear of No. 22
Washington street, and remained a couple ot
days. On Wednesday she started nut to look
for employment, leaving the cbild with Mrs.
Clark, obe bas not been heard of since, and
Mrs. Clark being in straitened circumstances
and delictte health, could not take care of it.
She reported tbe matter to tbe police last
night, and; an order is out for Mrs, Parnan's
arrest.

BOOMED THE SCALE.
All Scuoolma'ams in Alleghenyilc
ceive an Increase in Salary.
BITTER FIGHT IN THE COMMITTEE.
They Will Now Be Paid According- to the
Kambcr of Tears of ixperlence.
OFFICIAL MST OF IEAGS Or SEUTICE
The Allegheny Committee on Teachers
and Salaries met last night in tbe Alle
gheny High School, and the results were
completely favorable to the teachers.
The assistants in the High School will
hereafter each receive $700 a year, and in all
the other schools the teachers will be paid
from f350 to 5650 a year, according to the
years of their experience. Those who have
taught over five years will receive the high
est salaries.
The meeting was opened with the presen
tation of a petition from the teachers asking
for the iucreasc. None of the members of
the committee were in a hurry to express an
opinion, finally Chairman Langfitt spoke
as follows: The increase in the State appro
priation is the cause of it ail.
It was not increased to benefit the school
teachers but the taxpayers.
As to the question of experience, there
was such a thing as too much experience.
Tbey all kuew that when a teacher was
elected it was a new one. He had beard it
said tbat after teaching three years a teacher
got worse, and when directors were getting
a new teacher they did not search for one of
six years' experience. He thought the
teachers were getting enough now, and the
matter should be managed as a man would
manage his own business. If tbey paid s
teacher more tban the position was worth,
they made it simply a political position.
They had enough material to choose front
now. At a vacancy in his school there were
44 applicants for one positiou, and it was
only known three days. He was opposed
io the increase. The controllers were not
agents for the teachers bnt for the tax
payers. A Schedule of Salaries Proposed.
Mr. Young, to bring tbe matter properly
before the committee, moved that the follow
ing schedules of salaries be paid the teachers:
Teachers having in charge the class preparing
for High School: of less than 1 year's experi
ence, S450: over 1 year's experience, 8500: 2
years, $550; 3 years' experience, WOO; 4 years' ex
perience, iG50; 5 years or more. $700.
Grammar teachers and teachers ot tbe first
primiry grade Less than 1 year, $100; 1 yeir.
M50;2years, $300; 3 years, 5550; 4 years, 1600; 5
yejrs or more, JfoO.
Primary teacher Less than 1 year's experi
ence, J35U; I year, $400; 2 years, HoO; 3 years, $500;
1 jcars, SSMyears, $000.
Mr. McMullen, though not a member of the
committee, was askca to express bis views. He
was opposed to the teachers teaching tbe High
School class getting more tban tbe other
grammar teachers. He thought it an absurdity.
Their work was not any harder than that of the
others, and to say so and tbat they wereentitled
to more money was buncombe. He was in
favor of an increase in salary after five years'
experience to $650, as tbe work done entitled
teachers to that salary. If the schedule was
changed be favored giving tbe grammar and
first primary teachers 50-50 after five years' ex
perience and the intermediate teacbers $600
after five years' experience. It was a good
salary for the girls, Tbey could not do as well
at as desirable work elsewhere, and they were
paid by the J ear and only worked ten months.
Nearly All Have Five Years' Experience.
Dr. Langfitt remarked tbat tbey neednot talk
much about less tban five years' experience, as
nearly all bad more tban that
Mr. McMullen said that if they fixed a re
ward for five years' service it would make the
teachers ambitious. Tbey wonld work harder
and stay at it, and tbe schools would bo bene
fited. Mr. Young differed with Mr. McMullen as to
teacbers of tbe High School class. They had
to work harder and longer tban tbe other
grammar teachers, and failure at that point
was a serious matter for tbe scbool.
Dr. Langfitt asked in face of the bard monej
market what reason could be brought for the
increase in teachers' salaries.' No one else bad
increased salaries of employes. The tendency
was downward.
Mr. Young said he did not see why tbey
should bo taxed with tbe mistakes of the
Democratic party. Tbero was no real depres
sion in finances; it was only a scare, and there
bad been no reduction in wages. Tbe State
gave the money to enable districts tbat could
not afford it to pay better salaries and get bet
ter teacbers. It might affect Pittsburg if Alle
gheny paid better salaries than she did by
drawing ber teacbers to Allegheny, bnt that
couldn't be helped.
"No danger." said Dr. Langfitt, "the teacber
that has the backing will get elected."
Mr. Young tookexceptions to this, saying that
the Second ward board selected teachers for
their worth.
Mr. Cochrane favored paying the High School
class teachers $75 a moutb.
Mr. Spang concurred with the amounts sug
gested by Mr. McMullen.
Mr. Young's Schedule Approved.
Mr. Bailey favored paying according to ex
perience. He moved that all the primary
teachers be paid from $350 to !C0O per year.
This motion was lost by a vote of eight nays to
three ayes. On a vote the scuedule offered by
Mr. Young was then approved by eight ayes to
four nays.
Dr. Langfitt then offered a resolution provid
ing that hereafter no teacher of overfonr years'
experience be allowed an increase of salary
without the approval of a standing committee
of the Board of Control, the City Superin
tendent and the principal of tbo school in
which the teacher was located.
Mr. Young thought that was taking away
Eower from the Board of Controllers and Dr.
angfitt withdrew tbe resolution.
A recomtneudation was received from tbe
High School Committee tbit the salaries of as
sistant teacbers in the High Scbool be fixed is
follows: Less than one year's experience, 5GO0
per year; one vear's experience, S6o0; two years'
experience, $700; three years or more. $750.
After some discussion Mr. Young moved tbat
tho salaries of all the assistant teachers be
made $700 per year, which was adopted, this
change only affects three teachers who are
each advanced $50 per year.
The total increase iu tbe salaries under the
schedule recommended by the committee is
$13,510 per year. Tbe salaries now paid aggre
gate 1130,100 per year, exclusive of tbe salaries
ot principals.
Tbe nnmber of teachers in tbe schools is TOj.
Tbe State appropriation for Allegheny hereto
fore has been $13,000 per year, while tbe Gov
ernor bas recommended an additional $13,000.
Under the situation in the Legislature there Is
a possibility of another $13,000. which would
make the addition 0,000.

SAVED BY A SCRATCH.
How Harrison Managed to. Be Elected A
Scheme to Throw Three States to Cleve
land That Was Discovered In Time
Danger In the West.
'I suppose yon never heard how Harri
son almost lost the Presidency," said Joseph
Eaton, an Ohio Republican who was pass
ing through the TJnion depot last even
ing. "There was a scheme on
font among prominent Republicans
in Ohio, Michigan and Indiana to throw these
threo States for Cleveland, and only its promnt
discovery early in the campaign by some of
Quay s lieutenants, prevented its execution.
Lending Republicans In these States had
signed an agreement to this effect, and
you would be surprised to know
some of their names. Quav imagined New
York was the great battleground, and he
never dreamed there was any danger in the
West. When he heard, theretore. of what
was going on be was almost para
lyzed, and, well. Joa Know the
rest. It i i matter of history.
Indiana was flooded with money and orators,
and tbo leaders of the revolt In tbo other two
States were called off. It was abont this time
that Dudley and Micbener appeared in Pitts
burg one Sunday afternoon, and received a bag
of gold from Pittsburg politicians at the Monon
gahela Houso to help to -save Indiana. Yon
see the tacts I tell yon tally with the history of
tbat memorable campaign, if you remember.
"It was a greit gime of political treachery,
and sometimes I am sorry it did not work.
Harrison suspected that General Alger was In
the deal, and be bas been treated quite shabbilv
by the administration. To placato Alger
and his forces, after the nomina
tion of Harrison, tbe General was
offered the Secretary of Warship, but he
never got it. When Harrison heard of tbo
plot to do him ho was surprised and fright
ened. Whether Alger was opposed to Har
rison or not be never got anything, and since
then his name bas been allowed to drop. Abont
a year ago be attempted to revive interest in
himself by maklrc a tour of tbe country
and dellterlug Grand Army speeches but no
grcatfusswas made over him and the Repub
lican leaders kept awav from him. It Is even
claimed by tbe President's adherents that
Alger was in hand and glove with the Old
Roman when ho mado his famous tour of tho
Lake region, and was enthusiastically received
wherever he went. But when Quay became
acquainted with all the facts he was too mnch
for tbo dissatisfied ones, and tbe great battle
was fought in Indiana.
"Now a word as to narnsou. He is a very
stubborn man and wants to do everything him
self. He is enongb of a Presbytenan to believe
tbat he was foreordained to be President, and
tbat he would bare been electedanyhow.no
matter whether hard work was aono
for bim or not by Quay. Dudley and
the others. The fact that a scheme originates
with Blaine means sure death to it, and you
are more certain to secure the Preldent's fa
vor if you are indorsed by some unknown
preacher in Indiana tban by the Secretary of
State. 1 think Harrison has a monomania on
tbe subject of bis foreordination to bold his
present high office. He is dead set on having
the force bill passed, and be threatens to veto
tbe free coinage mea.-ure to keep tbe recalci
trant Western Congressmen anu Senators in
line."
