The Total Tonnage Would Load Three freight Trains Beaching From This City to Chicago. SHIPPERS 2iED BETTEE FACILITIES. Ecee InUreitfag rtcti About tie Ctuiti Letting to tie P. & W. SciL If Chicago has the honor of being the Greatest railroad center In tbe United tk States, Pittsburg can go one better and boast of handling more freight, than any other city, not excepting if ew York or Phil adelphia. Tbe importance of tbe city in this line is scarcely appreciated by the world at large. But recent transactions here brought out facts that prove the shipments far beyond those of tbe metropolis or any other two cities in the country. President Schmertz, of the Chamber of Commerce, has juit sent a letter to President H. G. Davis, of the West Virginia Central Railroad, giving some valuable statistics on this question. The total tonnage for last jear is estimated at 27,000,000. This means that 110,000 cars were handled monthly, with an average capacity of 23 tons and an average load of 20 tons. Pittsburg alone, according to the same estimates, bandies 18,000,000 tons per an- L asm, or 1,000 curs a day. .Nearly 2,000 cars f cuter and 1,000 cars depart daily lrom this (J city. These figures show that Pittsburg re ceives 40,000 tons daily and redistributes , . 20,000, irrespective of t lie enormons through freight, which runs up tbe tonnage to the surprising figures above given. Valoe of the City as a Source of Supply. The greatest tonnage is reached in the coal and coke industry, which illustrates the city's vaiue not only as a manufacturing center but as a source for the supply of material lor other centers. In Allegheny county there are 81 mines, the product of which aggregated over 9,000,000 tons last year. Of this amount, 5,000,000 tons were shipped by water, and the remaining 4,000, 000 by rail. The coke product ot the county .is placed at 5,000,000. .The raw material consumed last year in making pig iron was 4,500,000 tons, divided about as follows: Ore, 2,500.000; coke, 1,325,000 and limestone, G75, 000 tons. Be tide the pig iron manufactured in the city, . there is annually brought here for manufac ture 1,250,000 tons of iron and steel, which is 18J per cent or nearly one-fifth the pro duct of tbe whole United States. The glass industry adds largely to the tonnage of the city. Window glass manu facturers alone consumed 70,000 tons of ma terial and their output is 57,250. The Pitts t burg Plate Glass Company pays annually as much as 5200,000 for freight. The table ware houses, of which there are not a few, figure largely iu making up the annual ton nage oi the city. The tonnage of pig iron is about 1,300,000; that of rail and bar iron, 500,000; sheet arid plate, 150,000; nails, 200; crucible ingots, 5(5,000; all other steel, including Bessemer, 1,100,000; total, 3,106,200. Objector Collecting: the Statistics. 51 r. Davis, whose proposed railroad will have its northern terminus in Pittsburg, wanted mis lniormation to lay before the di- -- i rectors of his company for the purpose of show- 7 ing them the channels through which they might expect the heaviest traffic. r There Is every reason to believe the tonnage . will increase as the city continues to develop. Facilities for carrying freight, both by river and rail, are being improved, and the demand for Pittsburg products, both natural and man ' nfactnred, is constantly on the Increase. In the line of railway improvements, none are more important than those along the Pittsburg and Western, now under the control of tho Baltimore and Ohio. The road will be doublo tracked in order to meet the increased de mands ot the new traffic which local shippers will crowd upon it at once. It is said this line will be superior to tbe PittsourcFr. Wayne and Chicago, the distance being practicallv the fame. Upon the comple tion ot tbe Hue from Akron to Chicago Junc tion, which is expected to be reached msido of two months, there will be some lively competi- tion for tbe traffic between Pittsburg and Chicago. Hon. Morrison Foster. Secretary Follansbee, of the Chamber of Commerce, and Georgo A. Kelly ere interviewed yesterday, and from them was received much of the information concerning the shipments to and from Pitts burg. The total tonnage includes all the freight intended tor Pittsburg, that shipped from this point and all through freight. The 1S.O00.000 tons referred to Is exclusively Pitts- burg's tonnage freight received and redis tributed by this eity alone. Manufacturers and Railroad Deals. This important information is brought out by the recent railroad deals in which the man ufacturers of the city are so largely interested. Inreferringtothe Baltimore and Ohio secur ing control of the Pittsburg and Western road, a New York paper has this to 3ay: "The con trol of the l'itrebarg and Western has been ob tained, not through purchase, but by exchange for Baltimore and Ohio stock of tbe stock held by the leading manufacturers of Pitts burg In the Pittsburg and Western, wno con structed this road iu order to prevent Pitts burg from being unjustly discriminated against In the matter tif freight rates. ThcBo parties control the traffic ot the district, and their al liance witkjthe Baltimore and Ohio as holders of its stock may be regarded as equally impor tant as the through route itself, which has v oeen so quietly acquired. "Tbe principal firms in Pittsburg have Inti- v mated that ther intend to hold their shares and do their best to promote the interests of the Baltimore and Ohio line. The Baltimore and Ohio, upon it: pair, has agreed that rates in the Pittsburg district shall rise and fall with those in other districts, and that Pitts burg shall not be discriminated against. As - tbe manufacturers of Pittsburg bad no desire to engage in railway management beyond tbe extent necessary to secure this, they were per fectly willing to surrender control and manage ment of the property to The Baltimore and Ohio, believing that in so doing and in strengthening that corporation the interests of V the city of Pittsburg would be best promoted. "''' A tlreatLUt of Freight Producers. i . "The new element w hich thus enters into tbe ji Baltimore and Ohio Company, and the through line to Chicago, soon to be one of tbe results flowing from it, will probably exert a com manding influence hereafter upon the general railroad situation of tbe country. Certainly no line in the country can boast of a list pf share holders as freight producers equal to those wtiich have justallied themselves with the Bal timore and Ohio the through traffic of which, now gome a circuitous route by way of Wlieel- lng. is at once to be passed o er the Pittsburg and Western line, saving nearly 100 miles haul age," P. & W. MEN ANXIOUS. They TTant to Know How tbe Transfer to the B. & O. TTU1 Affect Them The Negotiations Commenced Iast Summer Details of the Transaction. Kow that tbe Baltimore aud Ohio road has secured control of the Pittsburg and Western, the employes of the latter line wonder bow the change will affect tbem and their positions. The management has been changed so often on the other side of the nver and the axe has fallen so frequently in unexpected quarters that no man considers his job safe. The offi cials here can give no Information about what V . win be done. Whether the various heads of Departments will be continued or these depart ments consollda'ed with similar ones under the jialtimoreand Ohio system are questions wh)en thoso interested would like to know as soon as possible. The Baltimore Sun states that tbe negotia tions for the Pittsburg and Western road were commenced lastvsummer, when the Baltimore and Ohio syndicate secured control of the State and city holdings In tbo road. General Manager Patton is a Baltimore and Ohio man. and un doubtedly was transferred with a full knowl edge ot what was being done. Itailroad men think that he will be retained as manager of the western system, though undoubtedly the other departments will be consolidated. Presi dent Oliver will continue in office until tbo annnal meeting next May. Tbe Baltimore Sun adds: "It Is said that when tho control of tbe Pitts burg and Western road by the Baltimore and Ohio was first suggested to the owners of the former objection was raised by many of tbem on account of the large State and city holdings m the latter corporation. This element, they contended, would act as a check and seriously hamper any attempt at a broad and expansive policy. Tbe political element that was neces sarily forced into tho road by these holdings, they slid, was undesirable and should be got ten rid of if possible. Could this be accom plished they would be ready to look favorably upon any plan of consolidation or closer alli ance. Then It was that tbe friends of the Bal timore and Ohio took up tbe matter and organ, ized tho syndicate which did ultimately pur chase from the city and State their holdings in tbe Baltimore and Ohio road." The transfer ot the control of tbe Pittsburg and Western road to the Baltimore and Ohio, It is stated, was made by President Oliver. An drew Carnegie. B. F. Jones. John W. Chal fant, Solon Humphreys and John Terry. These gentlemen turned over to the Baltnnoro and Ohio 121.0C0 shares of Pittsburg and Western common and preferred stock for which they received in return as many shares of Baltimore and Ohio common stock at par. Jn addition the Balti more and Ohio road assumes $1,250,000 of a floating debt for the Pittsburg and Western. This money will be raised and (750,000 more on an issue of Pittsburg and Western second kmortgago bonds which tbe Baltimore and Ohio win guarantee, rue I.au,uwiu ue snent in tioublo tracking the Pittsburg and Western, and building roundhouses. The deal was worked by Messrs. Humphreys and Terry, and the gentlemen who made the exchange are said to be large financial gainers by the transaction. Superintendent EL Holbrook, of the B. & O.. was asked yesterday what he knew about the deal, but he was no: posted. He only hoped it was true, as it would increase the strength of his line. KILLED A COPPERHEAD. A Vicious Reptile That Forgot Itself "and Sneaked Around in Midwinter It Falls an Easy Prey to a Parry of Four Gen tlemen. Snakes aud groundhogs are liable to meet in July, but it isn't generally believed that they exchange compliments and discuss the weather iu February, but as the seasons have been out of joint lately, it is just possible that animals and reptiles are affected as well as hu manity. N o one reported having seen a woodchuck taking the air and making his toilet yesterday, but something more phenomenal was reported. James Harbison, F. J. Ewing, T. M. Ewing and M. Y. Phillips were hauling out derrick timber in Moon Run hollow, on the Stemler farm, when they came across a n ell-developed but not very blchtj animated copperhead snake in tbe road. His triguoceplialic snakeship evinced a disposition at first to attend strictly to his own business, but, when interfered with, erected bis crest and showed fight with all the vicious ness common to him in August. His joints were stiff, however, and be fell an easy prey to his foes. Tbe serpent was quietly pursuing his way in the manner prescribed in the fourteenth verse of tbe third chapter of Genesis, and he looked as miserable as though he felt "cursed above all cattle and above every beast of the held," but this was attributed to the temperature. There is evidently somothing out of gear In that locality. Since tbe Court decided that the Sunday pumping of some oil wells was a neces sity, there has been a considerable movement of depraved machinery on tbe hrst day ot the week, and some orthodox people are not aston ished to bear that snakes wallop around in snow drifts. In fact, nothing now astonishes some of the rigid Sabbatarians. Last winter a garter snake was killed on Montour run on Christmas Day. but they are warmer blooded than tbe copperhead, and its apnearauce at a time when tbe nights are wholesome and no evil spirit dares to walk did not excltci'so much attention. HE SAW HIS SHADOW. The Groundhog Prediction Indicates a Little More "Winter. Tbe grouudhog could see his shadow any time yesterday between 9 A. if. and 4 P. Ji. Though the superstition gives us yet six weeks of cold weather, the outlook seems to have given pretty general satisfaction to all except people with weak lungs. Tho Tennessee win ters of 1SSS-S9 and lbM)0 are not what people in this latitude like. Tlicy are not only hard on fruit, but arc productive of more insect life than is comfortable, and there was satisfac tion in the prospect that fruit bloom will be held back by tbe weather. Tbe Pennsylvania Butch also regard yester day as the mid-winter dar. and years ago they chanted a rhyme running thus: Candlemas day. Candlemas day. The half of the straw and the half of the hay. By this they nieaut that tha feeding of stock was half over. When the country was young and fodder scarce on account of tbe limited area of land under cultivation, the wintering of live stock was one of more concern to the agriculturist than at present. The Signal Service prophets are inclined to back the ground hog. They say a blizzard is on Its way from tbe nursery of storms, tbe North west. LATEST COHFIDnTCE BACKET. An Expressman Hired to Haul Away Another Alan's Potatoes. Edward Coyle, of 486 Pearl street, Bloomfleld. was the victim of a confidence man, yesterday. Cojle is an expressman, and was engaged by a stranger yesterday to haul a load of potatoes from a car in the railroad yards at New Grant street to the stranger's alleged store on Ohio street. Allegheny. The stranger said he would wait for Cojle at tbe Allegheny end of the Sev enth street bridge. Coylo began to load tbe potatoes in his n agon, when tbe owner came along and accused him of attempting to steal them. Coyle, to prove his innocence, promited to produ.e the alleged owner, which he was allowed to do. He found the stranger waiting fur him, but coming over the bridge tbe fellow learned what he was wanted for and ran away. Coyle returned to his wagon, and was promptly arrested by a policeman secured by the owner who still doubted Mr. Coyle. In specmr McAIeeso interceded in Coyle's behalf, a be knew tbe friends nf the prisoner aud hn was released on bail. The case will be investi gated to-day. TEYING TO STOP CTJmNG. How the Patent Medicine Business Is Hurt by Underselling. George A. Kelly went toNew York last even ing to attend a special meeting of tbe Execu tive Committee of the Wholesale Druggists' Association. The object is to devise some plan to prevent the ruinous cutting in the prices of patent medicines by retailers and others. The committee will be made up of three from the wholesalers, retailers and proprietors, Mr. Kelly said that numerous complaints have been made by retailer, but it is a difficult matter to settle aud he was afraid the practice couldn't be stopped. Tbo bazaar people have hurt the business by cntting the prices of patent medicines for the purpose of calling at tention to other goods on which they made their profit. The underselling finally injures the proprietors, because the drug,rnts can't sell the medicines and they look out for other brands of remedies. AHEESTED HEB OWN HUSBAND. A Southside Woman marches Her Recreant Lord to the Police Station About 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon Mrs. Conrad Wagner, of South Seventeenth and Wharton streets, walked boldly into the Twenty-eighth ward polico station and told Sergeant McSbane she wanted her husband arrested. She said he was on a drank and abused hcr.and she didn't propose to stand it longor. The Ser geant told her to make an information against her husbaud and ue would see that the matter was attended to. Mrs. Wagner left tbe station, but returned shortly after, leading her drunken lord by tbe ear, saying: "Here he is. I've arrested him for you. Now attend to him." Wagner was put behind tbe bars, and bis wife drew a long breath and went home. THE ALLEGHENY VALLEY MEETING. Becelrcr Barnes Says Only Regular Bnsiness 'Was Transacted. A monthly meeting of tbe Executive Board of the Allegheny Valley road was held yester day. Captain f. P. Green, Receiver Bart.es and William P. Bhinn came over from Phila delphia in a private car. and they returned last evening. All the gentlemen appeared to beveryreti ceut about wbat was none, but Mr. Barnes as sured tbe reporters that nothing of any Im portance had transpired. LONGING FOR DEATH. Bernhardt Mueller, Who Entered faris as a Conqueror, Nov? A HOMELESS, STARVING YAGRAHT. Discarded bj Bis Wealthy Father for II is Constancy in Love. HIS BEIDL'S DEATH WRECKS HIS LIFE Bernbard Mueller, who ranked as Ensign in the Uhlan Regiment when it wus the ad vance guard or the German army which entered Paris alter the gay city capitulated, slept in a cell in tho Central station last night with a charge of vagrancy registered opposite his name on the police blotter. Yesterday morning Inspector McAleese's attention was attracted to a man going down Diamond street. The man was handsome and well built, but the picture of decayed gentility, and in the last stages of decay at that. His clothes, or what was left of them, bore evidences of being designed by an artist in cloth, aud the material was of the finest. They hung in sheds about his form, exposing tbe satin lining. His elbows and knees appealed desparingly to a cold world for shelter; his cuffs were frayed, and the fringes on his pants while artistic displayed too much of a red ankle to be comfortable. His hat was battered out of shape, and his shoes were merely an apology for being bare foot. The figure was the apotheosis of a being too honest to steal, too prond to beg, and unable to get work. Later in tbe day the man applied at Central station for shelter. That he needed rest and food was self-apparent, and his manners denoted that he was a man of cul ture and refinement, but be was unable to speak English. The man was turned over to Sergeant Metz, who speaks German, and after a time tbe stranger told his story, although with great reluctance. The Wandering Sad Story. "My name is Bernhardt Mueller," he said, "and I am 37 years old. My father is a banker in Darmstadt and well-to-do, while ray mother is the daughter of the Baron Yon Seibel. I was educated at Heidelberg, but when the Franco-Prussian war broke out I insisted upon my father getting me a commission in a Uhlan regi ment, i served during this campaign, and while I was not the first man to enter Faris after Its capitulation, as the f ormationfof our regiment prevented that, yet I was one of the first hundred. After the war was over I re turned to Heidelberg, where I graduated. Then 1 went Into my father's bank, it being understood that I, as the only son, would suc ceed to the business. "It was about 10 years ago that my trouble commenced, and it was borne to me on the wiugs of love. I do not repine, for 1 have tasted that draught of diviLe elixir which is never oflereu to a man but once. At a small social gathering I met a young lady to whom I was instantly attracted, and to whom, despite her modest diffidence, I was not repellant. She was tbe daughter of a small shopkeeper, but bad received an education not usual with one of her statiou in life. She was a beautiful girl and a charming vocalist I met her con stantly for several months and we avowed our love to each other and were engaged. When I went to my father to gain his consent be stormed and raved. He said he had higher prospects for me; be desired me to wed a wealthy and titled relative of my mother's, not only as an advancement for myself personally, but to shed an additional lustre on luy. father's rank, to which he was as devoted as a mother to her first born. Discarded by an Angry rathe "It was in vain that I argued that suth my love and my honor were at stake In this matter; that my word was pledged, and that, even as a banker. I was bouud to redeem my promises. He would not listen to me. I must marry the woman he bad chosen for me, or I was no longer his son. He would cast me off forever, disinherit me. 1 thought that these words were merely the ebullition of a fit of passion. My father had always been kindness itself to me, aud I believed that he would recall his de cision. I know now that I was wrong. Never for a moment In all these ycais has ho wavered. "Frieda and I were married at her father's home. 1 had a little money saved, with which we purchased a home, and wo cared not for the luture. for we loved each other. 'I left my lather's bank, hut easily obtained employment in another bank. For two years we lived in Paradise. Then death entered and took my love, my Frieda, and a week later my little son was laid by her side. For three months I was confined to my bed, and for a time my life was despaired of. When I recov ered sufficiently to get ont my depression was so great that I was nnable to attend to bnsiness, and my position was filled. "My mother seized this opportunity as suit able to effect a reconciliation between my lather and 1. Broken down in spirit and body, I was ready to meet any advances more than half way, although 1 had no regret for my mar riage, and still mourned, as I do now, God knows how sincerely, for my darling Frieda. .My father would not forgive me. He conld not lorget that ray refusal to wed wealth and title bad stood in the road nf tbo bank's ad vancement. Ho could forgive a slight or in sult to himself, but to bis bank never. A Tain Search for Relatives. "This rebuff, together with tbe breaking out of a wound in tbe head, received in an engage ment with the French you can see the mark of the bullet threw me back on a bed of sick ness. When Iiecovered, my mother, who had abandoned all hope of reconciling my father and 1, furnished me with funds and sent me to this country; where she had relatives in New York, she thought. I arrived in this country about two j ears since, but was unable to find the persons I was searching for, aud my money was soon spent. 1 received employment in a store, and worked there nntil I heard that my relatives were iu Baltimore, and 1 went to that city. Still my search was unavailing, and after wandering, nearly starved, about, that city for months, 1 was told that the people I was search lag for were in Chicago. I left iialtimore three w eeks ago, and have walked everv step cf the way here. "Why didn't I rider I had no monev, and thero oa no reason whv I should steal rides. I am in no hurry; when I reach Chicago I may be disappointed acain, and if I find my rela tives, do you think they will believe I am Bernhardt Mueller, the son of the rich Darm stadt banker? I am in no haste. I dally hope that death will overtake me and unite me once more uithiuv angel Frieda and mv baby boy." Inspector McAleese, while- very swift with tbe criminal or profe.sional bum. never bears of distress without endeavoring to give relier. He was unable to offer words of sympathy to the man. but .he immediately ordered a sub stantial dinner for tbe stranger, and will help him on his way this morning, unless someone comes forward with an offer of assistance. NEV.EE MIND THE WEATHEB. A New Yorker Condemns the Irocal Climate, but He Likes to Trade Here. "Western Pennsylvania can't boast of much of a climate," remarked a New York business man at the Duquesne yesterday. "Your wet, sojrgy days and bad roads are very.disagreo able, but tho hustling abilities of tbe people do not seem to be affected. "The climate of tbe Eastern part of the State is niuph better, bat it is not a good section for business. The delightful days put tee natives to sleep. I would rather tritle in Pittsburg anytime than in Phiiidelpnla." CHABITY IS-FAILING. Funds Coming In Too Slow for the alammotb. Mine Sufferers. It. D.

Many residents of Allegheny believe that better men could be induced to run for Mayor of the city under tbe new order of affairs if it were made a position entirely of honor, since tbe work will not amount to as much as that of tbe average Councilman, and the aggravation ol being a police magistrate will not be included. That is the opinion expressed by some of the Coun cilmen who know what will be to the best interests of their constituents as well as the feeling of men who would be glad to accept the position under the circumstances men tioned. As is well known, that official draws a salary of $5,000, including 500 from the county, but lor this sum he is compelled to virtually have charge of tbe police depart ment, while daily a row of criminals is lined up on whom he is expected to smile sympathetically as he remarks: "Thirty days. Next!" Councilmen Discuss the Matter. A meeting of the sob-Finance Committee was called for i o'clock yesterday, but only Messrs. Dahlinger, Snamen and Keeb ap peared. Of course no meeting was held, but affairs of interest to the city were dis cussed. Mr. Snamen opened the question of the salary of the Mayor by stating that be knew of some of the city's best men who would con sider it an honor to bo made Mayor if tbere was no salary, but with that attachment they would not accept it. In his opinion tbe Mayor will not have much to do, and for that reason It should be made an honorary position, so that it would be fillet) by men who would not under tbe old government have anything to do with it. Messrs. Dahlinger and Necb fully coincided with the views expressed by their colleague. The matter was discussed quite generally for some time, but all seemed to bo of the same opinion. On one question they are fully de cided. Tbe Mayor of Allegheny will not re ceive as large a salary as at present because the amount of work attached will be so much less. These gentlemen believe that their constitu ents demand an economically administered government and they seem ready to give it to them. An Ordinance Drafted and Discussed. The sub-committee which failed to secure a auorum yesterday afternoon secured one after the other committees bad adjourned last night. The majority of the membets were present and as the doors were barred only that which they considered good was given for publication. One ot the members of the committee said to a Dispatch reporter after tbe meeting ad journed that it would requlro perhaps half a dozen sessions to complete tho work. Chairman Dahlinger, with tbe assistance of several other members of the committee, have prepared au ordinance, after tbe style of the Pittsburg ordinance, for tho entire govern ment nf the second-class cities. They consider that $5,000 is too much a salary for the heads ot departments, so 3,000 was settled upon as the proper amount. Some believe that in Alle cheny the amounts should be the same as in Pittsburg, but the majority are more conserva tive and say that J3.00U is amply sufficient. Nor will tbe work of tbe departments be car ried on with so much elaboration as in Pitts burg. For instance, it has been definitely de cided that in the Department of Public Safety there will bo only one central office and there are to be no inspectors to preside over broken up districts of tbe city, as is tbe case in Pitts burg. Martyrs to the City's Welfare. All this is considered unnecessary by the over-river statesmen, and they declare that tbe heads of departments will not be easy positions to fill with credit. Of course, there are to be only three departments, but already thero are enough candidates In the field to overstock a regiment after it had been through the recent Indian campaign. "When they find the amount of work to do and the amount of salary attached becomes known," remarked a member of tbo snb-com-initteo last evening, "tbe majority of tbem will be very easy victims, as some of them are only willing to sacrifice themselves for the public good when the requisite amount of salary is sacrificed to them. There are some good men in the field, however, and there will be no great difficulty In making tbe proper selections." ON DIVISION OF WARDS. The Committee Last Night Received an Exhaustive Communication from Mr. Elphlnstone A Bill to Bednce the Num ber of Common Councilmen. At tbe meeting oi tbe Allegheny Councils Committee on llieDlvision of Wards, Solici lor Elpbinstone submitted an .exhaustive opin ion in regard to the matter, also embodying the opinions of bis associate couusel. He also submitted a bill as a substitute for the Bynd bill now pending. Its first section pro vides for tbe continuance in force of the pres ent laws tor the improvements, new and under way, and the collection of unpaid assessments. The second section provides for the contin uance of the laws as to the number of Select Councilmen for two years. In regard to the question asked by the com mittee, "Can the wards be divided in time for tbo February election;" he replied in the nega tive. His reasons were, first, that the creation of new election districts would disfranchise tho voters, who must swear to two months' res idence In the district; second, that certain offi cers would be thrown out entirely; third, tho apportionment of school debts could not be properly made, which must be done under the acts of 1874: fourth, election districts could not be created in time for tbe February election, because the commissioners mnst report to the Quarter Sessions Court, the next term of which does not convene until the first Munday in March. The Citv Solicitor made tho following sug gestion: "You may be able within a few months to secure a proper balance between the two bodies of Councils by securing the passage of a law acceptable to Pittsburg and Allegheny. I would suggest that your conference committee as soon as possible, should meet with a similar coiumillee that has been appointed bv the Councils of the city of Pittsburg and endeavor to devise and secure legislation suitable to both citieo." He also offered a bill designed to reduce tbe representation in Common Council, and closed witn the following: "I would recommend that Hon. 1!- F. Itynd be requested to hold nis bill providing for tbo transition of cities in tbe prcsont position until the propriety of offering a substitute therefor Is determined by Councils and the attorneys for the city." This bill requires that the apportionment shall he made every four years according to the number of resident taxables in the wards, the flcures to be returned by the Assessors. The apportionment must be made by a com mittee' of three from Common aud two from Select Councils, who shall examine the said re turns and divide the. whole number of taxables by 40, and the quotient shall be tbe ratio of representation for members of Common Coun cil, provided that should any ward have an ex cess of three-fifths moro than tbe ratio of tax ables it sball bo entitled to an additional .member, and each ward sball have at least one member of Common Council. The first apportionment must be made July next. The first communication was referred to Councils and the latter to the Finance Com mittee which meets Thursday night to consider the matter In detail. BILLS WERE APPROVED By the Allegheny Committees on Police, Parks and Printing. Tbe Allegheny Committees on Parka, Police apd Printing met last night, bnt did nothing but approve bills and the pay rolls, except that of tbe Printing Committee, which authorized tbe Controller to advertise for contracts for the city printing, 'and decided to ask for an ap propriation of 19.OU0 for tbe year. Tbe Police Committee approved bills for 1,000 and tbe pay roll of $9,413 83, while the Committee on Parks passed on tho pay roll and bills amounting to 331 25. Only Met to Adjourn. Special meetings of both branches of tha Allegheny Councils were called for last even, ine, but owing to the fact that there was noth ing for them to consider, tbey adjourned with out much ceremony. Tho-Council wero ex- 3, 189L pected to take action on tbe City Solicitor's bill, but it was not ready. G00D OF THE LIBRARY. Bills Allowed and an Appropriation of 815,000 Asked for. At tbe meeting of the Allegheny Public Library Committee last night bills amounting to 2,698 01 were approved. A set of rules and regulations that had been prepared by the librarian was referred to the snb-committec. The rnles are similar to those heretofore gov erning the Institution, as to the time it shall be open, manner of securing books, etc. On the suggestion of Librarian Stevenson an appropriation of (15,000 was asked for to pur chase books. This amount will make an addi tion ot about 7,000 volumes to the library. There are about 8,000 books now in tbe library. Librarian Stevenson informed the committee that he expected to be prepared to open the in stitution about April L HOT ALL AGAINST PARHELL. Mr. Nolan Says the. Older Priests Still Sup port tho Irish Leader. Very Kev. James A. Nolan, of County Car low, Ireland, arrived In the city last evening. He is making a tour of the country, and will spend some time in Denver where be has rela tives. Mr. Nolan so far has been impressed with the activity of Americans and the im mensity of the country. On the subject of Irish politics, he said: "People make a great mistake when they imagine that the entire priesthood of Ireland is against Parcel). The truth is it is the younger clergymen who oppose him, so they can make a stir. Tbe older and more conservative priests still adhero to bim, andl think in the end the Irish leader will come out victorious. "I believe that the causa of homo rnle for Ireland is further advanced to-day than- ever before, and the split in tbe party has done nb material barm. O'Brien's stand has greatly strengthened Parnell's position, and be still re tains tho confidence of a majority of the peo ple. Tbe present trouble will soon blow over, and I understand that at the next meeting in France the leadership will be settled in favor of Parnell." AFRAID OF HIS WIFE.

Heisey, "W. A. Gorbey, H. E. "Waddell, A. H. Bryce, D. C. Jenkins and A. J. Smith, the table ware manufacturers interested in the United States Glass Company, will apply for a charter f oT their new concern. Tbere are now 12 firms in the combination, bnt others aro waiting patiently tor the time when the doors will be opened for their ad mission. Of all the combinations which have taken sbane within the past year, the Table Waro Trust is., the only one that has at present the appearance "f being a permanent concern. Plans are being pushed rapidly, and it Is ex pected that operations nnder the new manage ment will be commenced very shortly after the charter has been secured. The projectors maintain tbat no Increase of prices is aimed at, bnt, on tbe contrary, the combination will be able to sell goods cheaper than its individual members were before, and also lower than out siders can. The reason tbey allege for this is tbat many expenses, now necessarily inenrred, will be cnt off and numerous economies prac ticed, especially in the sale and distribution of goods. The proposition discussed some time ago, that tho present factories be abolished, and tbe new company erect other plants in a suitable locality outside of the city, is not an issue of the combination just now, although one of those prominently connected with the concern said yesterday tbat such a sten is among tha nrobabilities. providing everything goes well.
