Several hundred thousand dollars await the finding of a runaway boy before they can be distributed to numerous heirs. Four of these heirs reside in Tittsburg or viciu ity, and Christian HofiUrth is tbe young culprit who thus stands in the way of wealth Jor himself and friends. A letter has just been received here from the executors of Joseph Kamps.who, untilabouta month ago, resided in "West Prussia, in tlie town ol Keilenkirchen. There he spent his life. surrounded by relatives and friends, and, while one of his brothers wandered to this country in search of wealth, Joseph stayed at home and amassed a fortune seldom sur passed in the Fatherland. It was in lSt55 that Christian Kamps with his little family bade adieu to country and Tic Missing Jlcir. jFrom a tlntjoc taken four j cars aco.3 friends and embarked lor America. He soon reached Pittsburg, and, fcecuring plenty of work, lived happily until 1874. when he died, leaving his family to shift for themselves. He had several brothers and sisters, and during all these years the fam ily ties have been kept up by as frequent communications by letter as the distance would allow. A AVill That Tfas Xeier Altered. Along about 1870 Joseph Kamps, who was a bachelor, decided that he was growing old, and accordingly made his will. His brothers and sisters were named as his heirs. The only peculiar feature of the will was & section which makes it necessary to account ior every heir before the division of the es tate could be made, otherwise it would in time go to charitable institution. Though Joseph knew of the death of his brother Christian in this city in 1874 he did not consider it necessary to change his will, as that portion oi the estate would so to Christian's family. Soon after the old cen tieman's death a letter was written by his brother, Gottfried, to his nephew here, L. J. Kamps. Mr. Kamps was told that it was necessary lor him to procure the signature of every heir in this country. At firt it appeared all right, hut he soon thought of young Christian Hofiirth. This puts the clatter at a standstill until he can be found, and every effort will be made to bring the boy back to the city. He will be 20 years of age next June. The loung Man's Kunaway Trip. Christian was of a roving disposition, though was really not a bad boy. He Greatly liked to stay out at night.:, and when his father oidercd him to be in at a certain hour each evening he became angry. One night about the middle Of last June Christian packed up a few clothes and going silently dona the stairs quit his father's house, as he said, forever, lie didn't like paternal in terference and decided to go some place where he would be out of the reach of it. He had a couole of companions, whose names Ills father never knew. I- mm the night he left nothing was heard duectly from him. Severa' times his father cot a trace of him, but it proved to be wrong. Each time an attempt Mas made to find him, but lie had disappeared afr completely as though he was swallowed up. First he was heard or in Allegheny, but when searched for was uot to he found. Then he was said to he in Cleveland, hut that proved to be wror.c as did seveial other stories that reached tbe cars ol his lrieAds. Xor that he Is wanted so badly a more strenuous effort will he made to bring him back that he may assist hii friends in securing their wealth. Talks W llh the Local Heirs. L. J. Kamps and John Hoffarth, the former one ot the heirs and the latter the htisbana of another, w as seen by a Dispatch reporter yesterday afternoon, and from them was learned the facts, as above stated. The first named represents tho local heirs, and is attending to all the business. He sajs that the letter received from Germany does not convey any idea as to the amount to come to them, but it will doubtless be juite large. Joseph Kamps was a thrifty man and always looked ahead. His fortune was very large, but he nc er said much about the disposition of it Jjelore he died, nor what was to become of it when he was done with it. lie was charitable when living and therefore did not feel that it was necessary when lie died to give all his money to outside people, thus leaving out those to whom one should Ilrst show chanty, near re lames. U he relatives here feel somewhat chagrinncd that a headstrong boy should be able to keep them from money that should rightly be theirs, hut there is no remedy bnt to hunt up young Hoflarth, and should he turn np he will be re ceived with open arms, while the proverbial Jutted calf will send an appetizing odor from the kitchen. Pittsburg People Who Will Be Benefited. There aie fdur direct heirs ii. Pittsburg and vicinity and all have families so that more than a dozen people will be benefited. L. J. Karnp. a nephew, is the proprietor of a tinstore at oawitntlcr street and lives in that vicimtv. Mis. Lizzie Wirt is a niece and lives in Mill vale borough with her husband, Gotlieb Wirt, who is a pnddler cmnloyed at the Carnegie Jacob Habncr is also a niece and lives on the Southside. Her husband is a puddlcr. Mrs. John Hoffarth. a third niece, is the mother of the runaway boy. She lives at Mill vale borough, where her husband has a barber shop. At present nothing can be done toward secur ing poesMon of their share in the csrato ex cept look lor the missing boy. The frie-nds in tbe "id country have been notified of the state of affairs, and there the matter now rests. HUNTIEG HES LOVES.

U v THE COMING NEW COURT. Canvassing the Probable Nominees The Name of Marshall Brown, Esq., to Be Strongly Presented A Strong Petition Preparing. As the establishment of an additional court to expedite litigation in Allegheny county seems to be now quite certain, there is more or less, quiet canvassing and ex change of opinions as to the probable" per sonnel of the new Bench. In most cases mention of probabilities has been made only in a casual way; but from this on, prefer ences are likely to centralize on particular aspirants. A very strong and respectable movement in this direction has taken place among leading merabcis of the bar, both Dem ocrats and Republicans, on behalf ot Marshall Brown. Esq.. as one of the appointees. It was talked ot quite freely and encouracingly yes terday in legal circle, with such expressions of appreciation ot Mr. Brown's abilities and character as to make sure that ho will have a hearty and earnest support. Mr. Marshall lirown is the oldest son of Major A. M. Brown, and nephew of Thomas M. Mar shall, Esq. ot iho standing of both of whom with tho profession and with the community no mention need be made but it is bvno reflected licht he shines, lly bis own abilities, which are admitted to bo of a very high order, Mar shall Brown has won an honorable and valued place in the profession, and. with it, in no com mon degree the respect and it Is not an over statement to say the universal good will of its members. Mr. Brown's temperament and qualifications arc believed to lit him exceptionally well for judicial work. From what is learned of tho movement, it is quite sure that his name will be presented to. tbe Governor with poworrul support both fro'm the bar and many influential elements of the commnnitv. PEEPAEED Iff EITHEH CASE. Ordinances to Comply With Any Decision Made by the Snpreiue Court. The sub-committee to which the Finance Committee of Councils referred tbe appropria tions ordinances, has been in session several times, and has manped out a course which it will pursue. Two ordinances are being pre pared, cue framed to meet a favorable and one an adverse decision of the Supreme Court on the cases now pending. In one of these ordi nances allowance is being made for the pay ment of about one-fourth of the contractors' claims for street improvements that wero made last summer. In order to do this and keep within reasonable bounds in tbe matter of tax millage. deep cuts are proposed in the appro priations for the parks, highways and sewers. Water Bureau, Fire Bureau, printing. Elec trical Bureau and various other items. The ex tent ol tbc cuts could not be learned, but they are said to foot up enouch to cover 2 mills taxes 3n the citj's assessed valuation. The other or inauce allows nearly everything asked for by the chiefs ot departments. The Finance Committee will meet in a day or two after the Supreme Court decision is hand ed down, and the sub-committee will be ready with an ordinanco meeting either a favorable or its unfavorable decision, and there will be no further delay.

Thompson, of Cleveland, traveling passenger acent ot the Missouri Pacific road, came into town last night and put up at the Seventh Avenue. Mr. Thompson says that his road is in fine shape and that there is noth ing to complain of on the score of business. Asked if he knew anything ot Jay Gould's in tentions, Mr. Thompson said that Gould was apt to keep people guessing as to what his pur poses mizbt be. "Nobody supposed he was after the Union Pacific until lie bought the road, and he is likely to scllit any minute if be can see his way to make money by doing so. The Missouri Pacific is his pet road and he will never part with that. The prevalent opinion is that ho will secure tbe Southern roads he is looking after, hut it is all guess work to say what he in tends." Mr. Thompson says that the Baltimore and Ohio are making better Western connections than the Pennsylvania. The morning through train from Hamsbnrg. over the Cumberland Valley, land passengers in Chicago 12 hours ahead of the schedule time of the Pennsylvania lines. HIT WITH A BOTTLE.

WILL BE FAIS AND "WaBMEB. After Studying the Map, That's What tho Weather Man Says. If tho local Signal Service man keeps his word, or at least if tho weather doesnt' go back on him. it will be fair and warmer to-day. At no time yesterday would tho thermometer go above 52, aud thouch the force of the sun did melt the thin ice on some nt the pavements where it had a good opportunity during tho afternoon, streets that were in the shadow were as much ice bound as the day before. Tho low est point reached by the thermometer was at an early hour in the morning, when it had dropped to 1". That was something of a cold wave, but it was not what had been ex pected. A fall to at least 12 was anticipated. PEOPLE WHO COME AND GO. T. M". Atkinson and Mrs. AtkinsoD, of Chicago, are guests at the Schlosser.

IT APPARENTLY WINS IN A TEST In Which None of tho Other Competing Machines Were Given a Show. HOT WORDS PASSED IK THE COMMITTEE After two meetings of the Allegheny Fire Committee, and a test bf one of the engines interested, the committee last night recom mended to Councils the purchase of a Silsby engine for 4,200. The only people who voted against the measure were "William 31. Kennedy, James P. Gregg, Jr., and George I. Budolph, who will present a minority report to Councils. As usual, there were lively scenes, but prior to the meeting the test had been given as agreed upon Wednesday evening. The test commenced at i o'clock and lasted until after 6. The engines were second class Amoskeag and a second class Silsby. The former was the "Hope" engine, which is claimed to have seen 13 years of service, and has been in use in Allegheny since 1882. The "Eureka" was the name of the Silsby engine. It was the one specially built for tests, and was presented to the city six years ago by George Westinghouse. This engine was much heavier than the Amoskeag, had a larger boiler, and had only recently been fitted out wxth a new set of cylinders. The entire test was under the supervision ot Chief Jones and Assistant Chief Clarke. Elmer Loom is, the general engi neer of the department, and Clayton Springer had the running of both engines. The test was only on distance, and the Silsby won, but the Amoskeag showed a greater water pressure with less steam than did the Silsby. Much Interest In the Test. The scene of the test was on Market street, near Greenwood. A large crowd of people had collected, and among them were F. L. Pitcher, representing the Clapp !p Jones Com pany: A. W. La France, representing the La France Company; T. J. Wakeraan, of the Button Engine Company, and Barney Bosch, of tho Silsby Company. There were also a num ber of Pittsburg firemen present. Andrew Armstrong took the steam and water pressure, and Conucilmen Vogler and Emerich measured tbe streams. The Amoskeag was tested first, the main con dition being that tbe steam pressure should not exceed 100 pounds. It first worked for 15 min utes with two streams from 1-inch nozzle, the stream and water pressure being taken every five minutes. The tests were as follows: - First test, 1-inch nozzie; steam, 100 pounds: water pressuie, 70 pounds; 10 minutes; steam, 75 pounds; water pressure. 150 pounds; 15 min utes, steam, 85 pounds, water pressure, 170 pounds; length of streams, 205 feet. One and one-quarter inch nozzle, Siamese connection; steam, 100 pounds; water pressure, 0 pounds; length of stream, 22S feet. One and one-half inch nozzle. Siamese con nection; steam, 50 pounds; water pressure, 150 pounds; length of stream, 200 feet. One and three-quaitersmctuozzle Siamese connection; steam, 100 pounds: water pressure, 85 pounds; length of stream, 192 feet. In the next three tests not five minutes were given to each. The Silsby engine was then put to work with the follow ing ri-sult: One-inch nozzle; stearo, 100 pounds; water pressure. 80; ten minutes' steam, 90 pounds; water pressure, 160; 15 minutes' steam, 109 pounds: water pressure, 105; length of stream, J17feet. ,"Ono and one-quarter-inch nozzle, Siamese connections, steam 100 pounds- water pressure, 160 pounds; length of stream 2C1 feet. One and one-half-inch nozzle, steam 100 pounds, water pressure 180 pounds, length of stream 210 fcer. One and three-quarter-inch nozzle, steam 90 pounds, water pressure 130 pounds, length ot stream 200 feet. There was also a 1-inch nozzle test with the following result: Amoskeag, steam 100 pounds, water Dressurc CO pounds, length ot stream 228 feet; Silsby, steam 105 bounds, water pressure 170 pounds; stream 201 feet. Some ot the Features of the Trial. During tbe test tho Silsby consumed about a half more coal than the Amoskeag, and while the stream from the Silsby was thrown at angle of 15 degrees by the firemen, the stream from tbe Amoskeag was only in clined about 35 degrees. While the Amoskeag was playing there was an enormous amount ot leakage for each jniutot the hose, while when the Silsby was at work thore was scarcely any. The Silsbv made a great deal more nolso than the other engine. One of the peculiar features of the test was that there was no bid in from the Amoskeag people and none of tbe real competitors were given an opportunity to show tbe workings of their respective engines. Lastnisht the committee met again at City Hall, and Mr. Hartinan at once moved tbe con tract be awarded to the Silsby Engine Com pany. Mr. Werthcimer thought this was hurry ing matters and declared that if such a recom mendation was made to Councils he would see that it was defeated in the Select branch. Hav ing delivered himself of this he withdrew to take his seat with the Gas Committee. Mr. llartman had stroked his beard and was wan dering off into a dissertation about the merits of the Silsby when Mr. Budolph interrupted him with: "You Councilmcn are afraid something will get awav from you." Arthur Hunter What's that? Mr. Rudolph There is no hurry. This could rest until the Board uf Awards could chooe an cngino under tho new government. Theso Councilmen who have to step out seem awfully anxious for w ork so as not to lose any of the perquisites. Mr. Hunter That's an ln'ulr. Mr. Rudolph It is simply the truth. Sir. Hunter 1 guess I could have come back if I had. wanted to. 1 did not want to run again. Mr. Rudolph Heard that before. By this time a vote was called, and Messrs. Grecg, Budolph and William Kennedy voted in the negative. When iho motion was an nounced as carried Mr. Rudolph declared the Intention of submitting a minority report and the committee adjourned. W0BBIED A COMMITTEE Can City Light Bo Furnished to a Prlvato rnmlly? A meeting of Iho Gas Committeo of Alle gheny was held last night at which bills to the amount of $200,000 were appiovcd. This in cludes tbo price of the original electric plant, which roots np 159.000. A number of petitions and resolutions for electric lamps were laid over. A petition was received from Philip Hamburger, asking that the city supply his family rcsirtenre on Fayette street with incan descent lights, lor which he was willing to pay their price. This petition caused considerable talk, as it is the first ot the kind ever handed in. There is no law to prevent the city from furnishing light to citizens, but it was deemed inadvisable at present, and the petition was tilaced on hie. The report of Superintendent David Hunter shows' th.it there am now 270 gaslamns. the gas for which costs $8 iS per lamp annually. There are 41! arc lamps, 100 miles of copper wire. 52 single pedestal towers. 2.13 matt arms, and 2.300 incandescent lamps. 1 be electric plant is re ported to be in first-class condition. ONLY A QUIET SESSION. Work of tho Allegheny Committee on Streets and Sewers. Allegheny was blessed last night with a qutet committee' meeting. The Committee on Streets and Sewers met and transacted only routine business. The contract for the paving of Preble avenue from btanton avenue to Adams street with Irregular block was awarded to Joseph Hastings for 55,2X1 CO. Resolutions tor tho purchase of the property1 of Augusta Bnrgdorf. at Sprnce street and Cass avenne, and for tho erection of a bridge over Iho Pittsburg, Ft. Wayne and Chicago Railway at Fulton street, were affirmatively recommended. The Street Commissioner was ordered to put in a crossing at the Western avenue end of the bridge over the Ft, Wayne road. SMALL SCSAPS OF LOCAL NEWS. BetWeex (i and 7 o'clock yesterday morning the business office of tbe Southside Jieview, on. South Fifteenth street, was discovered on Are by a policeman who broke open the door and, with assistance, soon extinguished the flames wbich are supposed to have caught from a de fective flue. The damage was slight. The annual examination of students of the College of Pharmacy will be held in Municipal Hall on the evenings of March 9, 10 and 11. The Pension Office was. thronged yesterday by pensioners, 700 being paid off. . GUARDING THE RIVERS. Only a Slight Attendance at the Indignation Meeting Still, They Do a Large Amount of Business Flans for Fighting the Wharf Bills. The indignation meeting to protest against encroachments on the river wharyes and against the passage of any second-class city legislation without Allegheny Cityjiaving first been consulted, was held in Common Council chamber last night. Commodore W. J. Kountz was the leading figure, and the audience consisted of 7 voters. 14 boys and 4 men from tho Fourth ward. W. P. Price was Secretary. W. L. Cavitt led off with a talt on floods from tho filling np of the rivers. He was followed bv the Commodore, who de. nounccd Senator Flinn's wharf bills as danger ous to Allegheny citizens. He said Pittsburg could fill in her wharves and drown Allegheny out. Mr. Cavett said that when Chief Bigelowwas making his wharf improvements, before he was stopped by the court,"ho had said that he would fill out" tho river to the first piers of the Union and Suspension bridges and make a straight line from one to tho other. The result of such a displacement as this would, in time of floods, give SS instead of 32 feet in the river. Commodore Kountz wanted a petition di rected to tbe Allegheny Senator and Repre sentatives in regard to second-class legisla tion. Where was the Allegheny Senator? he wanted to know. Pittsburg's Senator was putting in hills and stealing the wharf, of which Pittsburg was setting the benefit, and Allegheny was getting washed away, while nothing was beard from the Allechcny Sen ator. He understood Mr. FUnn had seven bills. In all of which there was a snake to rob the people. If the wbart bill was declared constitutional bo would like to know what would prevent the Allegheny ring from having a bill passed to build a wall along the Alle gheny wharf and ront it out to another railroad lor the benefit of a few Councilmen. On motion of W. L. Cavett a committee of five was appointed to act with tho First Ward Committee in regard to the river encroach ments. Those appointed were W. L. Cavett, W. J. Kountz, James Sblpman, Thomas L. Cav ett and Joseph Craig: Forms of petitions requesting the Legislature not to pass bills Kos. 34 and 35, in regard to wharves, wero adopted and the committee In structed to circulate them for sisnatures. A petition was also adopted, addressed to the Senator and representatives from Allegheny City, requesting them to use tbeir efforts in preventing the passage of any bills governing second-class cities without first consulting Al legheny City. Tho committee was authorized, upon secur ing the necessary signatures, to send a sub committee of three to Harrisburg to lay the petition before the Legislature. TWO FT. WAYNE L0VEES And Their Peculiar Sleeting at tho Union Depot Yesterday. When the Atlantic Express arrived yesterday morning amons the few passengers who alighted here was a couple who seemed to be In a great hurry to get off. The pair alighted from different sections of tho train and were ap parently strangers, for each went out by dif ferent ways. One wasa young woman, stylishly dressed, whose bearing Indicated refinement. She was about 23 years of age, tall and good looking, so far as could be discerned through the heavy veil which partially concealed her features. On alighting from the train she walked into the hall of the deoot and passed swirtly through to the porch beyond. Tbe other was a man hcavv set and with Coarse features intensified by the sbimnc black hat which he carried jauntily on one side of his head. A diamond pin blazed from a crimson necktie only partly visible from out his closely fitting black coat, which exposed to view the ends of a pair of checked trousers and the No. 12 shoes of as shady looking a colored man as ever came in on a train. Grasping a couple of giipsacks in each hand he passed out through tbe exit and reached the porch. In another moment the soft, yielding form of the young girl was clasped in that of the ebony-hued char acter; his heavy lips wero.brougbt into contact with her rosy cheek, a few remarks quickly ex changed, and the ill assorted pair walked quickly away and disappeared from view. All tbe information tbat could be obtained about either was that they came from Fort Wavne, Ind. PAETED ONCE MOBE. Jacob Rein and Wife Agree to Disagree, and Have Separated Forever.

William A. Carney, one of the Vice Presidents of the Federation, is actively engaged making preparations for the meeting, and he says everything is about completed. It will be ope of the largest labor meetings held in this city for years. Mr. Gompers, who is now in the West, has been speaking to audiences ranging in size from 2,000 to 5.000 nightly, and it is desired to give him a rousing reception when he reaches here. This will be about the last meet ing he will address previous to the inaugnra- uuu ui tut; wiuerv siriKe, wnicu iiegius "ii May 1, and his address here will he chiefly directed to those interested in seeing the miners making a winning fight. On this line he will have something to say about how many men are involved in the prospective battle and the circumstances which will surround it. There aro 2S0.C00 coal miners in the United States, 200,000 of whom aro in what is known as the competitive district that is to say, Penn sylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and West Vir ginia. About halt of these are in the United Mine Workers. Tho stnko will extend only to half the'or ganized in on in the competitive district. The support of the unorganized men is depended on as well. Tbe latter are said to be as heartily in favor of eight hours as anv others, and if a strike takes place it will include nearly all the coal miners in the country. Mr. Carnev yesterday received a letter from President Gompers, in which the latter said: "I am urging.tho wago workers of the country to join the organizations of their trades and callings. I am also urging all tbe trade organi zations to prepare themselves to raise all the funds necessary to enablo the federation to present a bold front when the miners meet the operators. I am not collecting money, but am merely securing the promise of financial aid." Mr. Gompers has spoken in Kansas City, Denver and other places in the far West within the past week. He was in San Francisco last nizht. Speaking of his tour, ho said: "Ihave met with great enthusiasm and success wherc ever I have been. I sincerely trust the opera tots will have the good sense to concede with out a struggle, for we are prepared for a strug gle if it is necessary for the achievement of our end. It is especially fitting that the coal miners should be chosen for this movement. Sympathy for miners and their healthful, con fining work is universal. An eight-hour work day for the coal miners means a" gigantic step in the direction of an eight-hour work day for all workmen." MINE OVENS IN OPERATION.

Everybody knows-that the Messrs. Kleber & Bro. sell half a dozen pianos and organs for every one sold by the other music deal ers. The reason is simply because they keep none but the very best instruments none but what they have thoroughly tried for more than a generation, and which are fully warranted for eight years. In no music store in the entire country can be lound such a magnificent variety of pianos as at JCIebers'. For instance, the great Steinway and the famous Conover pianos the stand ard makers of the world. Then, the won derful Opera pianos, whose newly invented Angel Echo pedal, a third pedal, are creat ing quits a sensation wherever they are known. Nothing can compare witb them for richness, volume and sweetness of tone and immense durability except tbe Stcin wavaud the Conover. Thousands of Opera pianos have been sold in Pittsburg and vicinity, and all that have bought them bring their friends to Klebers,' store and urge them to buy an Opera. The extremely reasonable price at which they are sold, and the easy time payments given, make the Opera by .ill odds the most desirable piano for the great mass of the people.

Don't forget, you can save money by giv ing tbe Arnbeim Livestock Company," Lim ited, your trade if needing a sound, durable animal for any kind ot work. Stables at 62 Second avenue, Pittsburg, Pa. LOOKING UPTHE LAW. City Attorney Burleigh Preparing an Opinion on Cremations. MAT REQUIRE AN ACT0F ASSEMBLY Mr. Samson Says Present Kegalations Make Crime Possible. PITTSr.DEG TO TAKE INITIAL STEPS Assistant City Attorney Burleigh is look ing up the law with a view to ascertaining what course can be taken toward bringing about the abolition of secret cremation of bodies. The publication yesterday in The Dispatch of the decided stand taken by Chief Brown in this matter, was the subject of general comment about the city yesterday. It is generally conceded that the position taken by the Chief is perfectly correct. City officials and other persons interested in public matters agree with Mr. Brown tbat cremation is likely to become very popular as a method of disposing of corpses, and that in such event the present lax regula tions will be utterly inadequate to prevent the easy accomplishment of crimes now sur rounded by ugly difficulties. Chief Brown is determined to follow out his original ideas on the subject. The Law Will Soon Be Known. "Ihave just had a consultation with At torney Burleigh," he safd yesterday, "and have asked him to look up the law on the qu estion. This he has agreed to do, and we will know before long just where we stand. Tbe more I think of tbe question tbe more I am convinced tbat it is the just privilege and right of the Department of public Safety to have a fnll report of all of cremation. A a means of further protection to the public I think such reoorts indispensible." In his efforts to establish more strict regula tions of crematories. Chief Brown will have no opposition from Mr. Samson, proprietor of the only establishment of tb.it kind in Pittsburg. Mr. Samson called on the Chief yesterday and informed him that he was heartily in accord with any movement for the prevention of crim inal cremation. He said: "I have always complied with the law and in tend to in tbe future. Tbe Bnreau of Health neveraskeufora report of cases where the person cremated was not a resident of this city, Dnt I am perfectly willing to furnish full reports in every case. I hope to see Chief Brown's idea carried out. At present there are not sufficient safeguards about cremation to make it sate. Under present regulations there arc too many opportunities for dishonest crematory proprietors and physicians to cover up crimes, and the sooner more strict require ments are enacted the better." Different Views of Different Men. It will be several days before Attorney Bur leigh will have his opinion prepared, as it will take considerable time to ascertain the position of tbe law on the crematory question, which is a comparatively new one. Chief Brown bad hoped to accomplish his aim by an ordinance of Councils, taking the ground tbat cremation is a burial and would come under the same provis ions of the law. The view is held by some, however, tbat the law governing burials does not pertain to cre mations, and that a special act of assembly will be necessary to cover the point. This is one of the main points Attorney Burleigh has to decide, and on his decision will depend largely tbo course Chief Brown will pursne. The question is a new one in affairs of munici pal government, and there are no precedents to go by. Pittsbnrg will take the initial step In tho matter, an1 its success will pe regarded with interest all over the country. EECOED OF ACCIDENTS. A Comparatively Small List, bat Ono May Prove Fatal.
