Truest lieu DtaJefly Wrctg ui a Gmt Quip Kut Be Xtit. Taking everything into consideration there has been quite an interesting week of it in baseball affairs. The "creat war" that the American Association inaugurated has been thoroughly started, and judging from the events of the past few days if the "war" lasts much loncer we will need a microscope to see what is left of the Association. Every day is proving that the Association anarch ists began their "war" without duly consid ering the good advice that was once given to a certain young nun when starting ont in liic. It was: Keware of entnnce to a quirrel. There was more of it of course, but the portion I mention if duly regarded would have been extremely valuable to the deluded of the Association. Generally speaking the week's doings has shown that there cannot really be a war, that is, a real genuine thorough going war. We couldn't very well think of a ght between an elephant and a spider; whatever bombastic and awful intentions the latter might have it couldn't accomplish anything against its bulky opponent. Jnst eo with the League. It need only stand and issue decrees, and how the Association can prevent the carrying of them out is something that I have yet to learn. It cer tainly must have already dawned on the minds of the band of disrupters that to try and wreck the national agreement is a task far beyond the power of the American Associa tion, even though the latter be led by such latter-day wonder as Irwin. Barme. Von der Abe and others. Organizations banded together under the national agrceiuentremind me of the words written by fat. Douatus centuries ago. These organizations are : In war triumphant; unmatched in peace." Some Features of the Trouble. f Thn trouble caused by the mad actions ot the Association has brought to the f i ont seteral in teresting features during; the week. One is the signing of National League contracts by players who had already signed Association club con tracts. This move on tne part of the players has caused the advocates of the Association and disorder to bold their hands up in holy horror and preach all kinds of homilies and morality, honor and fairpla). This, indeed, is all -v en, very funny to me. and reminds me ery strongly ! the lutle boy who forces a quarrel with the Intention of demolishins his opponent, and complains and cries when he is hit hard Ihe A-fociation set out with the fnll and terrible declaration that it would pulverize the League; indeed, the Association uiaguates cravely told us that they "bad burned the bridges" behind tlicm. Doubtless these mag nates, on the Impulse of the moment, reallj belic ed that auiid the hurrah cozens of great players would rush to their aid onlr to cet even for the slaughter o'f the P. 1 The Association wiseacres were mistaken; sadly mistaken, because not only did they not com mand any X. L. players of note, but their own star players bezan to wash their hands of such fanatical and stupid company as the Associa tion magnates were snowing themselves to be. Then comes the whine of tlrese magnates, and then comes their frothy and affected pleaaings in the name of morality anu honor. Oh, ye ccreration of, I won't say vipers, but hypo crites. In the estimation of these peonlo the oLly l.onuraLle part that the League could have taken was to stand passively ana have Its head knocked ofi. Well, as a result we bare had any number of cflustons and rodomontades about ihe dlshouoiablc work of contract jump In;. I propose to oiscuss that matter to-day, and I propose to shon that pi jers who were signed by the American Associ.tion and who have subsequently sinned with the League, have done perfectly right; that their conduct is highly moral; that it was a matter of duty, and that all the violations of morality, cr it may be ethical science, was absolutely on the part of the Association matnan-s themselves. ISon let us discuss the matter tairly and fully. About Contract Jumping. In dealing with the question of signing two contracts, as m the case under discussion, I lay no Uaim to a legal knowledge of too matter. I shall merely deal with it from the standpoint et ludmdual right as far as common sense no tions of fair and honorable business transac tions are concerned. As a way of fully illus trating the question, I will take the case of Kuauss. who has becu signed by Cleveland. Knauss signed with the Columbus club, fully assured that he would have the protection of the national agreement and enjoy all of its privileges; nay, his contract particularly speci fied that, But shortly after Knauss had signed that contract the Columbus club, among others, emphatically throws the national agreement and its "urotectiou" and "privileges" to the players to the four winds. Ihe Columbus club goes further than that, it even assists in ruining that national agrcemcrt entirely. There is no doubt at all about the matter, because the Co lumbus club and other clubs tried to outrival each other in telling to the world what they had done. But Mr. Knauss observed all this; he saw a fery great andrcrlous change in the new con ditions compared to the conditions under hich he signed the contract. He would naturally say to himself: "Why, now I didn'tsign with the Columbus clab to participate in another fight, uor did I sign with the intention of shut ting myself out from the protection and priv Ileges'or the national agreement. The people who signed me have, in my own way of think ing, broken faith with me; they hat o violated their contract with me and I am in duty bound to protect myself." 1 claim that thatis a fair statement of the position, and I also claim that It is unanswerable. Knauss was dishonorably fooled by the Columbus club, and as I will show presently, he was like other victims of the sub terfuge of the Association magnates. Being hoodwinked and tricked in such a contemptible way what was tne duty ot Knauss? What ras his ngbtT Why to repuaiate the altered con ditions and to directly identify himself with the system, the national agreement system, which he believed was for his general benefit and lrom wLlch such questionable efforts had been made to so er him. A Matter of Kisht. And because Mr. Knauss chooses to ignore the new conditions which had been brought about without his consent and directly con trary to the conditions under which he had signed his contract, and. because he made np his mind to sign another contract with some body cle that afforded htm all the protection he wanted we are told that he is a "dishonor able contract jumper." Good heavens! Has a mia to be dragged into a conflict or a light with no hope of victory and only to be ruined for life against his will; Has he to be forced Into absolute ruination in direct opposition to the conditions to which his name and also the name of bis employer are attached T If he has the intelligence and the manhood to resent this offspring of leudalism it he a "dishonorable contract jumper T" By everythinctbatisfalr. that is nonorable, that is moral, and by every thing that protects a man from the usurpation of his individual rights he is not. Knauss, like many others, is making a living by playing base ball. It is his duty to look to bis future wel fare and if he thought that by remaining with toe Columbus club under the new conditions of anarchy he would be ruining his future be was perfectly justified in turning back aDd looking for better company. He had contracted to co so far. and so tar only. ,But when the Colum bus club determined to proceed further than the point named in the contract, Knauss be came satisfied that it was uneufe to go there, and very wisely declined. But his determina tion to part company with the revolutionists is surrounded with a condition that clothes all his transactious in the purest honoK He points out that while, in'bis opinion, bis contract with the Columbus clnb has been Tiolatea by the latter, inasmuch as he will bo robbed of a pro tection that be bargained for, he is quite will ing to bare the matter fully tested by a legal tribunal, and if that tribunal decides that he is still bound by his first contract he will lire op to it. And those who have recently signed him say the same thing. Well, now tell me, you who are daily singing in Jfecksnifftan tones about the iniquities of contract jumpers. I say, tell me does not this condition just referred to settle all objections to this alleged jumping 7 I would like to see those out and out supporters of baseball anarchy and out and out opponents of the National League tackle this matter. If the tust contracts are binding even under the new and shameful conditions the players in terested will lire upto them. Bnt tiler believe they are not binding and in tho meantime they have taken a safe course to provide for them selves in case their expectations are fulfilled. In other words it the Columbus club officials prove that they have not legally violated their contract with Knauss be will go with them. Surely that is fair and honorable. Of course the case ot Knauss is used in this in stance to illustrate all similar cases. ' A System of Subterfuge. But amid all the sermons on contract jump ing I have failed to note even a reference to the very despicable methods of subterfnge in dulged in by Association magnates previous to the Inauguration of their "war" which is to sendthe League to oblivion, llecent statements by no less a personage than the creat Prince, of Boston convince me that the Association leaders had their minds made up long ago to make a "row" and that numerous players were signed under false pretenses. A day or two after that wonderful gathering in New York deposed Mr. Thurman. prince, of Boston, said that they had' -'prepared their plans and bad bnrned the bridges behind them. They bad taken the precaution to sign all their best play ers before declarine war." Now, what does this meant Why, beyond the peradventure of a doubt, it means that Association representa tives were going about tho country sfgnlng plavcrs who were to "enjoy the privileges" of the'National agreement, while at the very time of signing the Association representatives knew they were deluding the players by all the trick ery and baseness of low and cunning falsehood. This Is no guess w orlc, but a stern fact now ad mitted by more people than Prince. Don't for get this remark: "They had burned the bridges." It may be that the technicalities of the law of contract will permit-of this, bnt the minds of an intelligent American public never will. Most certainly there is fortunately throughout this vast continent to-day a prevail ing sentiment against sucn a uegraaing cunning and such low and base lying, be it practiced on a baseball player or anybody else for the pur pose of delusion. And vet in the face of all this that new magnate, Mr. Kramer, of Cincin nati, has fold tLo world that the contract will stand the legal test because ball players are like oj.era singers. But Mr. Kramer fails to tell us what the result of an opera singer's contract would belt the singer signed rosing in first class theaters, and after signing that condition was commanded to sing in aives and beer gar dens among the rabble. Will Mr. Kramer argue that a change of that kind was not a violation of contract? Would such a change of condition not cause the singer to rebM? The change of condition of the respective American Association clubs since Knauss and others signed has just been as great, From beginning to end of this trouble; from its inception in the anarchistic minds or the Association band to the present time the policy of that band has been one of sinister intrigue. They have violated all pledges of honor; broken faith with their best friends and the public: intro duced honorable men to the public as their rep resentatives, only to nun wicked and laise charges at them. The recent existence ot tho American Association has been a living He, and what it has tried to gain has only been by a method of nefarious trickery. Tho play ers in that organization will be the greatest suf ferers, and by all means it is their dnty to look out for themselves. Ihe present trouble was not of the players' seeking and it is only right that those who made the quarrel should fight it out and be the sufferers. Local Club Prospects. There is a great amount of pleasure now in talking about the prospects of our local club, thanks to tho untiring zeal and excellent ability of Messrs. O'Neill and Hanlon. I am quite sat isfied with their work so far, although a week or two ago matters looked exceedingly blue, and as a result we were all more or less discontented and inclined to find fault with ererything and everybody. But things are looking brighter. Mark Baldwin has at tached bis name to a local contract, and that of course will be exceedingly satisfactory to all of us. If the law sustains Mark's contract with us he will be a tower of strength in the club, and with tne other good men signed I fail to see how our team will look any worse than the teams of the other people. Regarding Bald win's signing with Pittsburg, all that I have just said about Knauss' case applies to Bald win's. I know of no difference in the cases, and I repeat that if the law of contract is founded on common sense Baldwin will certainly nlav here. I am also told that during the next few days we may expect to learn of one or two more players of tho Baldwin class signing with Pitts burg, Let them come by all means. The old saying is that it is an ill wind that blows nobody good, and the trouble caused by the Association may be the means of giving us a very sfong team. But let me remind my readers that Pittsburg is getting a good team at an enormous outlay of labor and money, and this fact should be suf ficient to induce the public to give the club the very best support posslnln. In securing players of high class Messrs. O'Neill and Hanlon have had more difficulties to contend with than tho representatives of any other club, except prob ably Cleveland. All good players want to go to a big city where a good club is located, and very lew. if any, want to come to a tail end club such as Pittsburg has been. A good club's rep resentative need only sit in his office and make an offer to a player, but our magnates are com pelled to spend lots of money to visit the play ers, and then for hours and days combat their prejudices regarding the poor team. This, in deed, is a very great difficulty, and it ought to make tho work accomplished by Messrs. O'Neill and Hanlon all tho moro praiseworthy. I really believe that we will have a winning team' here next season. I sincerely trust we may. The Local Dog Show. It is reasonable to expect that thousands of citizens in and about Pittsburg are anticipating the approaching local dog show with a very great 'amount of pleasure. There is always something interesting and instructive in a show of dogs, even of the most ordinary kind. From the little toddler at bis mother's sido to the venerable grandfather bent on his stick we can all find something to interest us in walking through a dug show where so manv excellent specimens of "man's most faithful friend" are to be seen. AVoll. what I want to say, is that next week we in Pittsburg will have one of the best dog shows here that has ever been held w est of the mountains. I am aware that is say ing a great deal, but judging from the Informa tion I have received think I am speaking well within limits. The indications are that thero will be more than 000 entries. Jnst fancy that, and such entries, too. But above all we are going to get a look at the great and only sir Bedirere, recently boucht. in England 1-E.B. Sears, of Melrose, for the enormous sum of 17,500. Now. If $12,500 worth of cinme beauty and form are not worth going to see I fail to see the use of any dog shows at all. Dogs of a high class, non-sporting dogs I mean, are every year becoming more numerous, more costly and more ponular. This augurs well for the success of our show. lam inclined to think that dog fanciers in and about Pittsburg hare increased 80 or 90 per cent within the last year or two. Daily I am having inquiries about dogs and this prompts the opinion just expressed. I would a'sn like to see the show a success be cause of the untiring zeal of those who are ar ranging it. I am sure no body of men could throw more earnestness and determination into their work than the promoters of this show are doing. President Boggs and Secretary Littoll are real hustlers, and when the show is opened those who see It will then learn that not a thine I have said about it has been an exaggeration. ane snow aeserves to oe a success ana it quan tity and quality of dogs will make it a success there is nu fear of it. Among tho Pugilists. As far as boxing and pugilism generally have beea concerned the week has been a very dull one. Of course, we all know how Slarin "mopped" up the floor with Mitchell, and it is to be hoped that Mitchell will benefit by it, for he is the noisiest and most aggrarating charac ter in a companv that ever stoo.l at a bar or sat in a chair. We also know that Pat Farrell has finally secured a match. Any opinion I may hold regarding Farrell's engagement witluMc Aullffelwill express later on. But I may at present state that Pat has gone far out of his class and it may be that he is making a mis take in this. Of course he may not. Bnt I will likelv deal with the matter next week. Ed Smith has challenged Hall, the Australian, and there is no sound reason why Hall should refuse to figbtSmith atl58 pounds. If ever these men debt at the weight just named Ham inclined to think that bmith will be the winner. I also make another statement. If ever Smith and Kiizsimmons meet at I5S pounds tho chances will be strongly in favor of Smith. Burke and Fritcbard will have their battle shortly in England. lam still inclined favor, ably toward Burke's chances of victory. He has heretofore always been facing very big men and now he is to meet a man smaller than Himself. If Prltchard defeats Burke he will be a wonder in many respects. The Weight of Pugilists. I bad intended to discuss at great length the Question of the present tendency to send pugi lists into the nog as heavy as possible Instead ot having them as light as possible. The methods of preparing men for fistic contests have been revolutionized during the last 15 or 20 years, particularly in this country. This change is doing harm, but I am glad to know thatafeeling is growing up against it. As I have just saia I intended to discuss it fully but space will not permit my doing so this wpex. I can only giro a fow examples showing how foolish our present notions of getting a man into condition are. When Ed Smith recently fought Qodrrey the former scaled 183 ponnds and in all respects he is an exceedingly smaller man than was J. C. Heenan. I take Smith's case as an example: thero are scores of others. Well, now, Ned O'Bald win was 8 feet 5K Inches tall, and 4o inches round the chest. When he entered th ring at Colliers' station to fight Mace he weighed only 200 pounds lu fighting costume. Take notice, this giant was only about 17 ponnds heavier than Smith was, and not as heavy as Sullivan has been when fighting. Heenan was 6 feet 1 inches tall, and 15 inches round the chest. W hen he fought .Savers be weighed only 176 pounds, and forslzs we couldn't compare Smith with Heenan, yet lloldoon tent Smith latoj the ring seven ponnds heavier than what Hee nan was. Morrissey was 5 feet llJi Inches tall, and 43 inches round tho chest, aud when he fought Heenan be only neighed 105 pounds, and men like Domlnick Mc Caffrey hare gone into tho ring scaling 170 pounds, really hplievlng they were in good condition. Tom King was 0 feet 2)$ inches tall and was very powerfully built, yet he weighed not more than ISOpounds when he fought Heenan. When walking round 3oo Coburn sometimes weighed 200 pounds, but he alwavs fought best at 150 pounds. When Maco was 29 years old ho fought Travers at 13 pounds. When Sayers was 28 years ojd he fought at 147. and when he fought Heenan, In his 31th year, he only scaled 152 ponnds. and wasn't confined to weight. When Billy Ed wards fought Collyer, the last time the former was not confined to weight. He was a little over 150 pounds when he went into training and yet he fought at 126 pounds. I conld go on giving instance by the dozen, but these Will suffice. They simply show that there is a "mark" at which a man is in his best possible condition. Experienced trainers know this and they know that the mark cannot oe reached by allowinc superfluous flesh to remain on a man, . IXorrissey's Statement. Speaking on this matter the other day a valued old friend of mine repeated to me the opinion of the once famous , John $Iorrissey on the question. My friend said: 1 met Morris sey a year after he bad fought Heenan and he told mo that be had fought at 165 pounds, that being bis very best weight. He wont on to say that when ho fought Yankee Sullivan he weighed 175 pounds and soon discovered that he was not in bis best form. His face and body was easily bruised and his wind was not good. When ha was matched to fight Heenan he was trained according to bis own ideas and that was to get as light as possible without impairing bis strength. He soon discorertd that about 165 pounds.was his mark and he fought at that. He was nerer in better condition in his life. Our fighters of to-day ought Jo take a lesson from Mornssey's adnce." The foregoing is a very significant statement. I may shortly re sume this subjecr,as there are many Interesting features about it, bnt I have not space to-day to Dursue it further. Pkgls. CATARRH CURED. Only Three Things Necessary to Cnre Any Cass of Chronic Catarrh Time, Pa tience, and the Proper Remedy. EVERYBODY HAS THE TIME ALL CAN GET THE REMEDY PATIENCE ALONE IS WANTING. Synopsis of a Lecture on Catarrh by Dr. S. B. Hartman, of Columbus, Ohio. WHAT DOCTORS SAY OF CATABEH. "Whether chronic catarrh can be perma nently cured or not is a question about which there is great difference of opinion among the professional lew, and also among the non-professional masses. The majority of physicians dislike to undertake the cure of this disease because they know that only the most tireless patience and iaithful obedience on the part of the patient, as well as skillful treatment on the part of the phy sician, will be rewarded with success. Hence it is that a great proportion of the medical fraternity hesitate or reluse to treat chronic catarrh on the plea that it is in curable. WHY SOME PATIENTS FUTD NO CURE. Hence it is also that so many patients fail in finding a cure because of their un willingness to continue treatment long enough. Many people who have had chronic catarrh for five, ten or even fifteen years, will lollow treatment for a few weeks and then, because they are not cured, give up in ..despair aud try something else. These patients never follow any one treat ment long enough to test its merits, and Con sequently never find a cnre. It is a well known law of disease that the longer it has run the more tenaciously it becomes fast ened to its victim. CHRONIC DISEASES RECOVER SLOWLY. Some doctors go so far as to say that it will take as long to cure a disease as the disease has run, but, while I do not believe that this is necessarily true, yet it is be youd dispute that the longer the catarrh has run the more difficult of cure it becomes. It seems to be very hard to get patients to understand this fact and submit to the in evitable. TALLIATIYES DO NOT CURE. The difficulty with which catarrh Is cured has led to the invention of a host of rem edies which produce temporary relief only. The nnthinking masses expect to find some remedy which will cure thera in a few days, and to take advantage of this false hope many compounds which hare instant but transient effect have been devised. The people try these -catarrh cures one after another, but disappointment is the invari able result, until very many sincerely be lieve that no cnre is possible. LOCAL APPLICATION CANNOT CURE. The various kinds and modes of local ap plication, such as sprays, atomizers, douches, inhalants, fumigations, creams, ointments, lotions, gargles, etc, etc., have in many cases a soothing effect on the in flamed surfaces, and are sometimes useful to assist a cure: but neither of them nor all of them together ever did or ever will cure a case of catarrh. These things may give temporary relief, bnt it is useless to expect a cure of them. Catarrh is not a local dis ease, hence cannot be cured by local treat ment. CATARRH IS. A SYSTEMIC DISEASE, and, therefore, requires persistent internal treatment, often lor many months, before a permanent cure is effected. The mucous lin ings of the cavities of the head, throat,lungs, etc., are made up of a network of minute blood vessels called capillaries. The capil laries are very small elastic tubes, which, in all cases of chronic catarrh, are congested or bulged out with blood so long that the elas ticity of tho tubes is entirely destroyed. The nerves which supply these capillaries with vitality are called the "vasa-motor" nerves. Any medicine to reach the real difficulty and exert the slightest curative ac tion in any case of catirrh must operate di rectly on the vasa-motor system of nerves. As soon as these nerves become strengthened and stimulated by the action ot a proper remedy they restore to the capillary vessels of the various mucous membranes of the body their normal elasticity. Then, and only then, will the catafrh be permanently cured. Thus it will be seen that catarrh is .not a blood disease, as many suppose, but rather" a disease of the mucous blood ves sels. This explains why it is that so many excellent blood medicines utterly tail to cure catarrh. THE ONLY HOPE OF SUCCESS in the permanent cure of a case of chronic catarrh is to devise some remedy that will stimulate the nerves which supply the capillary blood vessels. I know of but one remedy that has this most desirable effect, and that remedy is Pe-ru-na. This remedy strikes at once at the root of the catarrh by restoring to the capillary vessels their healthy elasticity. Pe-ru-na is not a tem porary palliative, but a radical cure. Its action is necessarily slow, but permanent. CATARRH IS CURABLE. In the majority of cases (especially those of less than two years' dnration) catarrh can be enred in a few weeks by tho proper nse of Pe-ru-na. Some cases are cured by six bottles, others by four, and;we have not a few testimonials who .have professed a cure from even one bottle of this remedy. "Where a. case of catarrh has existed for five or ten years a permanent cure cannot be reasonably hoped for in less than three or four months, and in some rare cases the con tinued use of Pe-ru-na for one year has been necessary to ettecta permanent cure. .But, unless the case is very old or complicated, a speedy and permanent cure is sure. THESE ARE FACTS based on many years' use of this most ex cellentrcatarrh remedy. KooDe could be more anxious than myself to discover some oatarrh remedy that would cure in less time, but it seems to be an impossibility to do so. It is not only true of catarrh, bnt also of all other chronic diseases, that it takes time and persistent treatment to cure. A CURE GUARANTEED. To all those who conscientiously follow the above advice a cure is guaranteed. There need be no failures. Bach bottle of Pe-ru-na is accompanied with complete directions for use. The remedy can be had of any wholesale druggist in, the United Suites and most retail druggists.

Reply Filed in the Case Brought by Eesidents of Bayard Street4 PAYED BY DUQUESNE COMPAKY An Interesting Decision Rendered Yester day ty Judge White. NEWS K0TES FROM THE JUSTICE MILL An answer was filed yesterday by "W. C, Moreland for the city in the suit of Thomas Gamble and Martha A. Kennedy vsthe Duquesne Traction Company et al. It is an action to recover damages' to property on Bayard street by reason or regrading and building the Craig street railway. The answer states that prior to establishing the grade alluded to none had been made on the street, and what improvements were to be made on the properties fronting on the street by the owners were made with the knowledge by them that the grade finally established was to be the one adopted. It is the one most bene ficial to property owners and travelers. The Department of Public Works, in the absence of any acts of Councils to prevent, has power to fix grades where none exist. The vorkot Booth dcFlinn, contractors of the Craig street railway, is in no sense a grading by the city. Application was made by them to ascertain what grade had been established by the Department of Public Works, and the rail way was built accordingly. Under their con tract with the city tho Duquesne Traction Company paved tho street and the expense of filling it to the established grade was paid by the Craig street railway. Plaintiffs in tho case are said to have learned what the grade would be bv applying at tho office of the Department of Public Works, and had made their iiuprovetuents.moving a house in accordance with it. It is averred in the answer that the property of the plaintiffs has been greatly benented Tiy the present grade and in no sense has damages been incurred. A COMPLICATED CASE. Tho Ownership of Several Forty-Third Street Lots in Question. A suit in equity and an injunction was en tered yesterday by John J. Fisher, Sr., et al against Galen C. Hartman and S. H. McKee. The plaintiff alleges that when bis wile, Mary Fislrcr. died on August 14, 18Sa, she left fire lots on Forty-sixth street to himself and her eight children. An alleged will was filed which the husband and children refused to accept and bringing suit, contested it, which contest is not yet decided by the Court. Another com plication arose by a writ of execution to tho Sheriff, who sold the husband's right to this property to McKee and Hartmnn. The latter then went to Louis Cella, Jr., the owner of two mortgages on trie property amounting to 475 each, and by alleged false representation indnced him to assign them to the defendants, and hare since cansed them to be adrertlsed for sale by the Sheriff. The plaintiff alleges that he tendered the de fendants the full amount of the mortgages, but they refused to let them go. A master to ad just the case and a preliminary injunction is prayed for to restrain the sale of the property by tha Sheriff at the time advertised. WORK OF THE COTJET. Judge 'White in Quarter Sessions for the March Term, The judges of Common Pleas Conrt No. 2, yesterday made an order detailing Judge White to preside in the Quarter Session Conrt for the March term commencing Monday. It has'. not been announced.bnt it is expected that the Criminal Court will only be rnn for the two weeks proceeding the openingof License Court, and that Judgei White and Magee will then go into the License Court. Judge Ewing re maining in Common Pleas. As to the Criminal Conrt the two Judges will have a clear field to dispose ot the jail cases in the first two weeks, the business of the court for the last term having been cleared up and disposed of by Judge Stowe and District At torney Johnston in a more thorough manner than during an) term for years. THE AEGUMENT CLOSED In the Case of TV. J. 'Howard Against the City and Others. The argument in the case of W.J.Howard against the Finance Committee, city deposit ories and others, in relation to the investment of the city's funds, was concluded yesterday morning, D. T. Watson, Esq., was the only one who spote. He, with Mr. Shlras, was counsel for the depositories, and he argued in their behalf. He said that the money in the trust fund was a bona fide deposit in the ser. eral banks, and there was no attempt to inti mate that the banks bad used it for their own enrichment or otherwise violated their obliga tions. They should therefore be dismissed as defendants. The Court took the papers in the case and reserved a decision. TC-MOBEOWS COTOT CALEHDAB. List of the Cases That Will Open the Week's Work.

A Notice Likely to Reach Its Destination Through This Channel. Jndge White yesterday banded down an opinion on a question of law reserved in the caso of C. G. Wood against ex-Sheriff Mc Candless. The point raised was on the legality of a notico of protest sent through the mail. It had not been received, and It was claimed that a personal notice was necessary.

There is some excitement in this locality, about six miles south of here, over several cases of trichi nosis, three of which have proven fatal, and tome 10 more persons afflicted are not ex pected to recover. The disease first ap peared in the family of Chris Wemeberg.an industrious German farmer. The family have had considerable company, and many persons have been exposed. The family lately butchered and made a large amount of sausage, and friends and neighbors were called in to partake of it. Those who did so were afterward taken down with a peculiar sickness. They grad ually grew worse and became stiff and sore. The disease was at first pronounced typhoid fever by a neighborhood physician, but older physicians were called and pro nounced it genuine trichinosis. Many who ate the deadly sausage are ill and others are fearful of being taken down. Executions Issned Yesterday.

EESIGMATM 'ASKED; Ugly State of Affairs in tho Seventh Ward School, Allegheny. PfiOFESSOR JONES' PLACE FILLED. Tne Korthslda Teachers Wake Up. and Hold a Lively Institute. SEI OP THE SPRLVGflELD PEINCIPAL There is a sensation in the educational circles of Allegheny. The resignation of Prot. Milton Jones, of the Seventh ward school, who has taught for 29 years in the ward, and instructed over half the people of the district, has been asked. for. The trouble arose over the fact that the Board of Directors did not give such public statement in a condensed form as is required by law, of the receipts and expenditures for the year, including assets and liabilities, as passed upon by the auditors. The violation of this law is punishable by a fine not ex ceeding $300. This (act led to rumors that there was some crookedness in the board. A relative of Prof. Jones was blamed with the circu lation of these rumors, but the punishment fell upon Prof. Jones himself. His resig nation was demanded last Wednesday night. This he refused to tender. However, the board elected in bis place Mr. Gilchrist, who has taught night school in the ward for the last two seasons. Mr. Gilchrist was elected for this unexpired term and for the term beginning next September, but as Prof, Jones has refused to resign Mr. Gil christ cannot take charge till the opening of school next September. There is talk of an indignation meeting. The action of the board, so far as the elec tion of Mr. Gilchrist for next year is con cerned, would not be considered legal in Pittsburg, but is so considered on the North side. The school boards organize over there as soon after the February election as they wish, frof. Jones is an old man, and leels his position keenly. A Colored Porter's Good Work. 1 Superintendent Luckey, while on bis way to the National Educational Association of Su- Pperintendents, held at Philadelphia last week. picked np a nice story abont the colored porter of the day express, on which he traveled to the Quaker City. This porter Is Lewis G. Watts, and is one of the most efficient and umj uesi eaucated on the road. At one time he had progressed far into the studies for the ministry, but he decided he could do more for his race t he educated his sister as teacher, which he did, and she. after having graduated from the University at At lanta, Ga., startea a school built by this broth er at Covington, Gt, for the education of colored cnildren. There are 127 pupils in her charge. This porter not onlv educated his sister, bought the lot and built the school, but also pays the teachers' salaries. He has another project on hand now, in the shape of the establishment of another school, and Is saving his money for this purpose. Watt is very well educated in mathematics, science and the lan guages as many inquiring people have discovered- The sister referred to is now Mrs. Dina Pace. An Institute in Allegheny. Yesterday Allegheny City revived its old time custom of holding Institutes, and there was a full attendance at the High School Hall. Majbo the fact that there is a law in Allegheny City that if a teacheris net present at institute, without good cause, a day's salary may be de ducted at the end of the month, had something to do with the big gathering. This was the first general institute held in the last three years, drawing classes on Saturday being here tofore on the programme. Superintendent Morrow snoke on "Composition," and dwelt particularly on tho preparatory work teachers should do to make the branch a success. Prof. Espey dwelt on the temptation of- teachers to spend msch of their time on home, social and church matters, to ihe neglect of their schools. He spoke at length on the supposed Gulf stream, claiming there is no such thing, bnt simply a general drift of waters toward the North. An appeal was made to the teachers to inspire the pnpils with a love for knowledge; not to teach abstract facts, but character. Brof. Luckey's talk on geogranhy was inter esting. He advocated tha introduction of such subjects as plant life, frost and dew in the pri mary grade, and said the whole subject of geography conld bo made so interesting that pupils would be taught to love instead of de spising it. The following Permanent Exam ination Committee was elected: The Misses Lang and Brooks, of the High School; Miss Logan, Fifth ward; Mrs. Kemp, becond ward, afltt Prof. Espey, Fourth ward. Board Election Matters. No representative to the Central Board of Education has yet been elected in either the Minersrille. or Springfield districts. Both school boards meet next Friday erening; Presi dent McKelrey will likely have the various committees of the Central Board arranged some time next week. The regnlar meeting of the High School is on Friday evening. Both Dr. McCready. of the Sprlngneld;distrlct, and Mr. McMillan, of the Thirteenth ward, will be elected as Central Board representatives, for both gentlemen's friends won at the recent election. A person on the inside gave the following in formation about the affairs in the Springfield district: The citizens are in favor of a. male principal, not that they object to the present female one, but they think a man ought to be in control in a ward whoso children need a strong hand to rule them. There are three directors now opposed to a female principal, and another of the new directors is of. the same faith, so if the citizens want a male principal elected next June it will be done, though no change may be made for a year. Some Miscellaneous Topics. Miss Maggie Allen, of the Luckey School, has been elected to succeed Miss Lizzie Cron mlller, who is to be married shortly, in the Tbad Stevens schools. This leaves a vacancy in the Luckey schools. The dates of the Teachers' General Institute for the Pittsburg teachers has been changed from the 20th and 21st Inst, to March 13 and 14. The reasons for the change are that the Young'Mcn's Society ot tne Butler M. E. Church, where the institute is to be held, hold th-ir sevontn anniversary exercises on the 20th of March. To-morrow the teachers will rejoice, for they bare been under the impression that they would not receive their money for the month ot Feb ruary for two weeks to come, owing to the delay orer the passage of the city appropriation. Secretary Reisf ar yesterday held a consultation with Major Denniston, who has made arrange ments for the teachers to be paid to-morrow.

Sib Morell Mackenzie, the famous En glish Throat Specialist, said: "The most dis tressing thing for a lady is a cold or catarrh; and I cannot understand why they should be so annoyed when we have such a simple and pleasant remedy in the Soden Mineral Pastilles (Troches which are made by evaporation from the Soden Springs, in Gormanr). I bare watched the effects of the boden Mineral Pas tilles for a long time, and regard them as ex tremely valuable in obstinate catarrhal affec tions of the throat.for coughs, colds and hoarse ness. These Pastilles are very convenient for those who are susceptible to colas, hoarseness or catarrh. A single Pastille in the mouth will often act as a preventive, especially during the Srevalence of The Grippe' or other infections lseases." Prof. Koch, the great German scientist, said: "A cough, for hich 1 have tried many other medicines, which had not the slightest effect, soon became better, and has now en tirely disappeared by the use of the Soden Mineral Pastilles."
