S3ESS A NEW !0i SCHEME Is What Colonel Andrews Calls the Kicaragna Canal, in "Which He Takes Little Stock. GENERAL RAUtt'S PENSION VIEWS. Kot Less Than Fourteen Millions of Coun terfeit Honey in Circulation Daily m America. THE MOEGUE BILL KEADT FOR ACTIOS. CUU With t Sinter ef Teojle ca Tepid tf CnuiieiiMt Interest "lam glad to see that Thh Dispatch is opposed to the Isicaragua Canal bill," taid Colonel James P. Andrews yesterday. "It is a great scheme on the part of a 2e York syndicate, of which ex-Secretary War ner Miller, is the head. From what I can understand they have made a contract with themselves to build the canal for the Gov ernment for so much money. "What I would like to know is when they advertised for bids and it there was any competi tion. It is an eay thing to make an agreement and sisu a contract among themselves. I am assured by Congressmen that the bill doesn't stand the ghost ot a chance. Tne estimates are made on the fig ures of a Cuban euginecr whose chief claim to distinction is that he comes from that country and is able to withstand the tropica fevers. He could live in that climate for ten years and it would never hurt him, but men from this territory couldn't stand it A Strong; Point In Fa or ot Tehuantepec. "Of course.I am interested in the Tehuan tepec ship railroad. Only one man in a million knows that the Isthmus is 1,500 miles long. The Nicaragua Canal is lo cated about 300 miles from the Panama Canal. One strong point that I claim for Tehcantepec is that it is near the coast of the United States and in line with, the mouth of the Mississippi. In the event of war the Government could transport troops to any point along the Gull of Mexico in three days and protect its coast trade. A great many vessels ply between points along the Gulf and San Francisco. With the canal so far removed from the coast line these ships would be compelIed to mover away from many ports they now reach to go through the way to the East It would be almost impossible to send soldiers in times of war overland to the canal, and it could only be reached by water. The English Tramp .Steamers on Top. "It has been claimed that the canal would help shipbuilding in the United States. The opposite will be true. The tramp steamers of the English are the freight carriers to-day. They twarra about the English docLs. and will come by telegraph on short notice. The American sailing vessels can't begin to compete with them. Down where the canal will be located scarcely a breath of air stirs, and calms prevail. At times little whirlwinds spring up that list for ten minutes. The Amer ican sailing vessels could never work tbrough the canal without being towed, and this would consume too much time and money. Whst would the result be? The canal would be monopolized by John Bull and his cheap steamers, as he runs the Suez Canal at .present The French struggled to build it and John Ball gets the benefit. He has the money and the ships, and could easily control the Kicaragui Canal. Wc can't commie with the English ship builders until we can get down to hard pan, and can buy cheip materials and hire men who work iorlow wages. When vessels were made of Mood, the American was ahead, for timber was cheap, but tncy consist of iron to-day, and the English have the co.il and the ore. Eugland leads on the seas to-day, and the American Government would be foolish to build canals for them, I speak now from an American standpoint" BAD M0HEY IS CIECULATI0N. A Hanker Puts the Amount of Counterfeits in America at S14,000,000. A party of friends was sitting around a table in the Duquesne barroom the other day enjoying a friendly glass when one pro duced a 2 bill that be was suspicious of aud wanted the others to give an opinion as to its genuineness. It was an old bill, but as his friends eyed it intently they all thought it had a lamiliar look and they de clared it good. "How do you know?" inquired the owner, but none of them could tell why. "By the way," said a financial man among thiu, "how much counterfeit money is in circulation in the country?" This question staggered the crowd, and all sorts m guesses were made. "Just 51-1,000,000," was the reply. "It may not be actual coun ter'eit money now," he continued, but it has passed the scrutiny of bank cashiers and Treasury agents, and the Government has replaced the bills when worn out Counterfeiters seldom go higher than $20. A bill larger than this sum is carefully ex amined, and is more liable to slip upon than the smaller denominations. To tell the truth, while 514.000,000 is no small figure, when vou consider the amount ot business done in America, and the desperate straits into which men are driven, the wonder to me is that the sum is not larger. It only proves that the great majority of the people aie honest" THEATRICAL MOVEMENTS. Tassenger Business Oat of the City Improv ing Every Day.

RAUM DEFENDS PENSIONS. The Commissioner Says They Are raid Ont of the Internal Taxes Enough Over Last Tear to Almost ray the In terest on the Public Debt. "Yes. we are very busy in the Pension Department," siid Commissioner Green B. Raum at the Monongabela House yester day. "We are issuing more certificates to day than ever before. Did it ever occur to the people who harp against the expenditure of money for pensions that they are all paid out of the war taxes? Before the Rebellion there was no internal revenue, and to-day the tax on liquors and tobacco pays all the pensious, and last year these were $35,000,000 over, almust enough to cover the interest on the public debt: This is how I answer the croakers who are al ways condemning the pension system. In deed, the payment of vensions is one of the last things that will ever wreck the country. "The number of old soldiers is being re duced every year at a rapid rate. It depends on the class. There are 8,000 in the couutry Ir.iwinz pensions who have lost arms or legs. In this class they die at the me of GO in every 1,000 per annum. This is a heavy rate, and would wreck lile in surance companies by the score, if they had to stand ir. I think every man who went to the army aud Buffered tne hardship and exposure for any great length ot time, shortened his life 12 years. Certain it is that the soldiers are dying faster than those of the same period who did not fight in the war. The men who went with Sherman on his famous march to the sea and slept out at nights, undoubtedly reduced the length of their lives." When asked n Harrison would be renom inated the General said it was one of the difficult things to predict. He thinks Har rison is an able man and us clever a speaker as he ever heard. As the General is under lire at present, he wanted to know if Senator Cameron had testified before the silver in vestigating committee. He believes in the force bill, and ekiius that election frauds have been committed with such impunity that the people have become used to it He thinks the prejudice in the North agaiust the negro hai also something to do with the opposition to the bill. ABLE TO BRINK. LIQUOR. A Few Men, living and Dead, Who Got the Best or WhUtcy. "You and I have no business with whisky," remarked a gentleman at the Mnnongahela House yesterday, as he play fully tapped a reporter on the shoulder. "I think the only two men in America who can get ahead of liquor are Billy O'Couner, of the St James Hotel, and Chamberlain, of Chamberlain's cafe. These men drink from force of habit, and it never seems to affect them or their health. I used to know a newspaper man 'in Baltimore, who died recently leaving several millions, who made it a rule oF his life to attend strictly to business from 7 o'clock in the morning until noon, and at midnight he would be carried to his room drunk. After 12 o'clock fn the day he spent the time drinking, and "he killed off mauy of bis cronies who couldn't stand the racket with him. "Sometimeago I witnesseda similar scene in a courtroom. An aged man had given his testimony when the Judge asked Ium if be ever drank. He replied that he uever tasted liquor in his lile. The next witness happened to be a brother a lew years older, and the age of both men was over 00. The Judge asLed him the same question when he answered that he had not drawn a sober breath since be was 20. 'Well,' remarked the Judge after a moment's thought, 'drunk or sober, you are certainly representatives of a long-lived race.' " WANTS ANOTHER YEAR, .IH OFFICE. A Question Raised as to the Election for Ald erman in the Sixteenth Ward. The Mayor is trying to determine whether there must be an election in February lor Alderman in the Sixteenth ward. 'Squire Doughty, who was convicted of conspiracy, resigned about ten days ago, and Governor Beaver at once appointed 'Squire Chalfant to 11 the vacancy. The latter's commis sion gave him a tenure of office until May 1,1891. It is now held that the commission holds good until May 1, 1892, in accordance with a provision of the Constitution which pro vides that an election to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation or removal of an Alderman cannot be held within three months of the date of such resignation or re moval. On this ground it is held that an election lor Alderman ot the Sixteenth ward cannot be held until the regular elec tion in February, 1892. A First-Class Council Candidate. Colonel C. V. Lewis, of the VoUcibtatt, one of the best known aud most popular of Alleghenians, is a candidate for Common Council in that city this year from the Fifth ward.

THE LIFE STUDY OP DE. M0HD0EFP. He Thinks tbs German Scientist Must Tackle Another Germ, THE ONE THAT DOES THE FATAL WORK Pittsburg has a physician who, it is be lieved, can greatly aid in rendering the Koch system of consumption cure a perfect success. Now that the excitement regarding Dr. Koch's lymph cure hs somewhat subsided, and scientists have settled down to digest and fathom jts merits, the announcement is made that Dr. Edgar A. Mundorff, the emi nent bacteriologist, microscopist and pathol ogist of this city, by the co-operation of several of his medical friends, will shortly leave for Berlin to minutely study Koch's methods and decide the exact limits of their possibilities . Dr. Mundorff has since 1881 been at work, on lines somewhat similar to Prof. Koch's, and his experiments havebcen watched with great interest by some of the most advanced men of the profession in the city. The doctor had planned to leave for Ber lin inside the next two weeks, but does not now knojy just when he can start on his mission. It will not be long, though, before he is on his way. It is understood that the Sonthside Medi cal Society, one of the most wideawake scientific bodies in the United States, will authorize Dr. Mundorff to represent it in his Berlin researches. When lie returns he will bring' back some of the lymph with him for experiment, and will send some to bis friends while there, unless, indeed, the exact information is gained which will lead to the manufacturing of the lymph in this country, the principles by which it is se cured being already known. One Little Fellow That Gets Away. It is claimed that Dr. Koch's lymph does not dispose of a bacillus which is as much the important factor in the later stages of consumption as the tubercle bacillus is in the early ravages of the disease. This second little germ is the putre factive bacillus, which scientists have studied and even found remedies which would in a measure destroy it but not effectually, especially when located in deep-seated cavities. It is this second little destroyer that Dr. Mundorff is gunning alter, and if he has - found an effective lymph for it, the world will not know ot the fact until be gets ready to divulge the result of his researches more fully. Dr. Mundorff was found in his study yes terday, bis ever-present microscopes beiore him, and around about him tubes containing disease germs of various kinds and in dif ferent stages of culture, many mysterions vials, little boxe, instruments, etc., were strewn about on the tables. The doctor was asked about the proposed Berlin trip, but was uncommunicative, saying, "I have not said anything about it so that it could reach the public." When it was learned that the story was out, the doctor at last wheeled arAind in his chair, carefully set aside a little tubs con taining enough of the germs of some disease to kill a hundred men, and "fessed up," though with great reluctance, as he aid lie was not after notoriety, and some of those interested with him might not wish any publicity given to the trip. Dr. Mundorff Induced to Talk. In the course of the interview. Dr. Mun dorff taid: "Prof. Koch has proved him self a most painstaking and accomplished worker. His study-ot the life, Jiistory and ravages of the tubercle germ -in .the lung tissues ot human beings and auimals is complete, leaving little to be desired. His discovery of the so-calle.' lymph, adopted by him for the cure of consumption, has ap parently led to much needed results in the domain of tubercular disease. "But, whil we welcome the magnificent results coming from the laboratory ! the Berlin professor, we cannot help feeling that the treatment of diseases due to bacteria is still in its infancy. For instance, con sider the present outlook as regards the treatment of tuberculous diseases. No man conversant with these 'serious maladies will doubt for a moment that the best remedy at hand, Koch's lymph, has a limited field of action, andjthat field of action, of necessity, covers tuber culous and perhaps kindred diseases during the earlier phases of their development. In tuberculous disease there are secondary changes, foilowinc the primary ones, which are not directly due to the bacillus of Koch. It is as true that in the later stages of con sumption, as it is true in any other pus forming and disintegrating structures out side of the luugs, that the putrefactive bacteria, or bacilli, fill an4 important role, which is only too definite and certain in determining the Hie of the patient "Now, the true bacillus of consumption invades the tissues, excites by the reaction that they set up in the living tissues certain definite changes, which lead to the forma tion of new tissue known as granulation tis sue. At this Doint the action of the disease germ proper of tubercle comes to an end, and the action of Koch's lymph is to destroy this tissue which tissue, it not desteoyed by Koch's lymph, will undergo further con secutive changes, as it invades the proper lung tissue around and about, and is con verted into masses of lowly organized mat ter that impair the breathing capacity of the lungs. Work of the Destructive Agent. "At this time we find the putrefactive bacteria in various forms, in all their glory, turning the masses that are breaking down into pus, commingled with other portions of tissue debris, and it will be readily seen that these serious changes going on in the structures of the lungs, which are due to the presence of the tintrelative bacteria, open up a field so wide that, before consumption can be cured, (meaning by the term consumption, a disease of the lungs associated with struc tural changes), it is doub.ul is we are wrong when we say that the treatment Is in its inlancy, in 5 pile oi the existence of Koch's lymph. "These putrefactive bacteria, formidable in numbers and rapid in their work, have proved to the medical experimenter difficult to be gotten rid ot in (leep-seated cavities. With others who pin their faith to the promises of advancing medical science, I do not hesitate to say that in the future we shall arrive at a broadness of grasp and a precision in the application of chosen reme dies that will far surpass the present flat tering results achieved by the bacteriolo gist in the German capital. "I do not wish to s ty more at present, and wish I bad not told you so much. But say, I must get down to work. That pesky little scamp bothers me," and the doctor was left nursing his queer pets, the while studying how to kill'thera.

The Republican County Executive Com mittee met yesterday afternoon and deter mined to hold a county convention on Jane 6 to nominate candidates for Associate Judge of the Orphans' Court, Prothono tary, Jury Commissioner and Director of theFoor. The primaries to be held the Saturday before the convention will also elect delegates to any State convention that may be called by the State Executive Com mittee. Thqdateof the Republican primsries is fixed in accordance with the rules of the committee, and results in the somewhat unusual coincidence that both political par ties will hold their primaries on the same day. When the Democratic County Com mittee was arranging for holding primaries the last Saturday in May was first selected, but someone remembered that that would b Decoration Pay, and the date was fixed a week later June 6. Chief Brown, in re'erring to the matter yesterday, said: "'It would be convenient if there should happen to be any dispute ns to the right of a hian to vote at either of these primaries. If one party objected to him, he could walk to the next window and cast a ballot for the candidates of the other party. However, there is no danger of such a thing happening." KILLED BY CARBOLIC ACID. John Kaiser Temporarily Insane When He Touk.the Fatal Dose. An inquest was held by Coroner Mc Dowell yesterday on the body of John Kaiser, of tne firm of John Kaiser & Co., the Smithfield street merchants and manu facturers of tailoring supplier, who died Friday evening at the West Peun Hospital from the effects of a large drink of carbolic acid. John Curick, the merchant tailor, and an old friend of Kaiser, testified that the de ceased seemed to-lose control of himself when he had beeu drinkinc and that when recovering be would drink anything he could find to eratifv his thirst. This was corroborated by George Kaiser, a nephew of theideceased. Superintendent Cowan, of the West Penn Hospital, testified that the carbolic aeid was kept in tbe closet as a disinfectant, and that it was properly labelled and the word "poison" printed .on the label. Dr. Boggs, and Joseph Strearer, the nurse, or the hospital, testineo to the man ner o Kaiser's death.- As there was nothing that indicated in tent to commit snicide, a verdict was re turned that Kaiser died from the effects of the carbolic acid, taken while temporarily demented.

TELL-TALE PU0T0GUAPH OP A WOMAN That marriage is to a considerable extent a failure continues to be demonstrated at the Quarter Sessions levees on Saturdays. Yesterday Mary E. Gray brongnt her husband James, to tbe'bar of judgment, but as James succeeded in showing that he bad paid up until the 22.1 of last month, and that 510 was now in the hands of some person, subject to Mary's demand, he was allowed to go on his own recognizance until the 28th of February. He 5 required to pay Mary 52 a week, and as business has been bad with him lately, the Judge was lenient. Charles and Amelia Jones were called to the bar. Amelia said they had been mar ried five years; that Charles works steadily, and as steadily refuses to giveher acent,and she is obliged to wash for a living. She said he cooked for himself and wanted to get rid of her. Charles said he wanted to do justice to God and man and Amelia, but she badgered him with vexations, suits, and had charged him with attempting to poison her. He was discharged on payment of costs. Didn't Earn Quite Enongh for Two. William H. Anderson was let off on the Saturday previous, as it was understood that the parties had come to an agreement During the week, howeyer, William only got two days' work, and couldn't divy with Mary. She was smiling and sweet, but she nevertheless wanted the $5 the Court had said she snonld have. Judge Stowe re marked that she wouldn't get along any better if Charles were sent to jail, and as luqk had been against him he was given more grace. Each charges the other with tarrying long at the wine, and the Judge sucgested that each take the pledge. They are a respectable looking couple. Henry llenziehausen and his wife created a sensation. He is a member of the Alle gheny Fire Department, and makes (80 a month. She said he had given her $40 in Angust, and but $3 since this suit began. They were married in 1884, and she is a sec ond wife. On cross-examination Mrs. Ren ziehausen admitted that Henry had paid some grocery bills. Mr. llenziehausen ad dressed the court He said he had bought his wife an organ and paid tuition for her two terms, but she didn't learn any music worth talking of. He said that for -a long time after marriage lie gave her S65 a month, but she did not pay the family bills ont of it He said they split when she insisted on going to an Im moral Indian show: that she had cone to IS performances and a matinee, and people told bini he had better take cognizance of her actions. Attorney Jordan asked Mrs. Ren ziehausen some rather pert questions, and finally Judge Stowe told Mr. Jordtn he would hold him responsible lor the effect of the interrogatories if be could substantiate the implication, and Jordan replied that he could make his insinuation good. Caused a Sensation In the Court. Renziehausen made an earnest speech, ana bis little children overwhelmed him with caresses. Some of the statements caused a sensation in the audience, but he was ordered to pav Mrs. llenziehausen $6 a week aud give 3500 security there'or. Sadie Chimes said she and George H. domes bad been married two years, but they are evidently not mated. She said he deserted her when her baby was born. She also averred that he spent his -money for cigarettes and 59 shoes and fancv apparel generally, while . he had bought her but one pair of shoes since they were married. She charged that he said one of the strange women described by Solomon would keep him, and in style, and he didn't want anything to do with her; that he had carried the photograph of the wid strange woman in his pocket, and showed it to ner; tnat he would rent a house and run grocery bills so long as hecoulilget credit in a locality and then they had to move. In defense, George said he had paid his way as far as he could, and wonld not have bought so many clothes had his wife mended his old ones. Though stylishly dressed, George's hands indicated that he was a toiler. He said he got furnished rooms for her in bis mother's house, but she would not be satisfied, and once assaulted blm with a dishcloth and some wet spoons in her nand and soiled his cloth ing. Each painted the other's character a jet black, but Mrs. Clowes got tbe best of it when she put in evidence the woman's pho tograph referred to, and George must either provide for Sadie and the baby or stay in the cooler. Mrs. Herman Bergman next told her story, which s;euied at first to indicate an excess of niother-iu-law in the family. Mrs. Bersman created a good impression until her husband unllmbered. He then pro ceeded to show that be bad moved three times while in the city on account of Mrs. Berg roan's conflicts with her lady neighbors, aud finffllyihe took her to his mother's farm, at Economy, and there she quarreled with her mother-in-law. Mr. Bergman thought mov ing no remedy, and as he demonstrated.to Judge Stowe that he did not force his wile to live with his mother, as they hadsparate apartments and separate entrances thereto, and separate tables, His Honor decided that Mrs. Bergman was hard to please, aud dis charged the case, but put the costs on the husband, as be said it would not do tp send the mother and baby to jail. The McGinnis case was then called, and Mrs. McGiunis was on band, but her hus band was not She completed her version of the case, and, in answer to Mr. Marshall, admitted that the grocery bill for tbe family was 500 for something more than four months, but, she added, there were 13 in tbe family,-"in addition to comers and goers." John and Ida Civil were called, and John responded but Ida dTtln't He is charged with surety of the peace. Alter a few puns on the uame had been exchanged, Mr. Civil's attorney said that Jobu would like a postponement in order to get witnesses t a suit for damages in the Fayette County Court for the loss of a leg. Judge Stowe Severe on Juries. Leaping to the conclusion that the suit was against a railway company, Judge Stowe remarked that he didn't appreciate the necessity, as a jury would give damages against a railway company without evi dence, even though the plaintiff had walked over a car and broken his lez. As to the question of bail, his Honor thought the lawyer in tne case migni go Air. uivil snaj, as he supposed he had the case on shares. When told that the suit was against a coal company, the Judge modified bis opinion, and let Mr. Civil off on bis own recogniz ance, until the 'second Monday of next mouth.

She said be bad put her out of tbe bouse, point ed a revolver at her, etc, and bad refused to provide for her. Cornelius said the store bills" would disprove, part-of tlie charges, and tbat she had not been a helpmeet. Cor nelius must find S3 a week for Harriet and the baby.

' I 1 'r z "" - "- iJBI WHY THEY ARE KICKERS. Southslders Who Want to Know Jnst Why the Suburban Electric Boad lias Quit Itunnlnc Cars What the Officers Have to Say About the Matter. The suspension of travel on the Sonthside snburban electric railway has been the sonrcc of a great deal of anger upon tho part of those live upon Mt Oliver and thereabout. Tbey had been complaining ever since the road was built about bad service, but it was after the big snow-storm, near Christmas time, when the running of cars entirely ceased, that tbey got mad in earnest. There has not been a car ruu on tbe line since. Tne Thirteenth street electric road went into the hands of a receiver some 'time ago. The Suburban wai bnilt with the idea that it should receive its jiower from the former. "But," remarked William C. Bernard!, who keeps a drygoods store at Thirteenth and Carson streets, "that's what we people who live along the line of the alleged Suburban electric road object to. The Suburb-in Company bnilt its line when its officers knew that the Thirteenth street road was in difhcnltiei. I went way up on the hill, as did many ntherxj thinking that we would hive r.fpid transit. Fortunately for myself, I have a horse and carriage, but other residents have to walk. Why don't they do away with their alleged machinery and put on horses? A car an hour would help. Even when the road did ruu cars there were none after 8:30 o'clock." Henry Miiler, the South Carson street furniture dealer, is President of the Suburban Electric Company. In talking of the suspension of travel yesterday, he said that it was no fault of the' SuDurlan Com pany. "The point is just here," said he; "when the Suburban was started there was an agreement made tbat our power should be received from the Thirteenth utreet road. Up to a certain time everything ran all right Then the latter company went into the hands of a receiver, William B. Fos sett The story is thnt the road has been bought by Sellers McKee. "As to the buburban. vnu may say that it will be running wubin 90 days. Ground has been broken for a power house and all contractrmade for its construction. As to the other road, we have no connection with it There is plenty of travel for our road when we get our own power." Another interested citizen pf the South side laughed when the lower road was spoken of. He said the grades were so high that power enongh could not be generated to rnn the motors, the result being that they were frequently bnrned out. He had a hope tbat -something might be done in time, but at present the Twelith street incline was what the people who lived on the bill relied upon.
