H. Gilkinson shot dead, Detective P. J. JIurpliy wounded four times, and the murderer, with his body riddled with bul lets, escaped to the hills. Such is the record of a tragedy enacted near here this evening. "Where the murderer is at this hour no one Lnow, but many are on his trail and the strongest hopes arc entertained of his speedy c ipture. The criminal is called Fred C. .tzsiminons; also A. G. Budd, but his true r me is said to beT. G. Andrews. Ti.e shooting occurred early this evening s a house near Bull Bun, in Mifflin town taip, whither tne detectives went this after noon, armed with a search warrant to arrest t nrmiiii. They had gleaned considerable . formation concerning him and his where ' sibouts from a woman named Laura Hill, whom they had under arrest in Pittsburg, and whom they induced to take them to his place of hiding. Wanted Tor tho Homestead Robbery. It is said that Andrews was wanted for a cumber of crimes, but more particularly on the charge of being the leader in the rob berv, some two months ago, of J. JF. Sehn-ider's jewelry store, at Homestead, of Borne 53,500 worth ol stock. "When the officers approached the house, suer results show that they had been seen u d were eipected. Gilkinson slegped for ward and tried the door, but a woman, said to be Andrews wife, appeared and at tempted to close it in his face. The officer then forced the door open and Stepped inside. Immediately Andrews ap peared and opened fire upon them with a SS caliber Smith & Wesson revolver. At the first shot Gilkinson fell with a bullet in hi? brain, and theu two more were sent ensiling into his prostrate form by the infuriated desperado. A Perfect rnslllado. Detective Murphy savs the whole thing v as so unexpected and transpired so quickly, t.iat before he could realize what Lad happened it was over, and An drews, with the smokinc revolver Su his hand, was blazing away at Lim. Murphy, obeying his first instincts, rprang for his antagonist, firing as he did eu. They clinched and after a desperate Struggle Murphy succeeded in wresting Andrew's revolver from his hand. But his v no, in some manner, placed another re v lver in his hand, and through the smoke auu confusion the firing recommenced. Murphy's revolver was now empty. He fll upon the floor, and, feeling for Gilkin si n's body, appropriated the latter's revol v i. In the melee the woman had been v unded in the arm, and her screams added to the excitement. Murphy fired at ran dom toward the side of the room where the 1 .st shot came from as he arose, but as there w 'S no counter shot he realized that his foe fcas either dead or had fled. The latter proved to be the case. He had escaped n.iiier cover of the smoke. A Close Call for Murphy. Murphy was wounded in the breast, in the chin, on the lorehcad, in one leg and on one Side. Portunately the bullets had in most instances made a glancing rather fan a body wound. In conse quence, though he was begrimed vith Emote and powder, and bleeding freely, he was by do means disabled. Ho thinks that he must have nit Andrews st veral limes. The woman, whom he ar r sted as soon as the affair was over, said t.iat her husband was riddled with bullets when he fled. Summoning help, Murphy turned over to tnem the woman and her little 7-year-old g ri, who was also in the house at the time j the shooting, and also left Gilkinson's bndy in their charge, directing that they be taken to McKeesport as quickly as poss Die He then left and footed it five miles across the countrv and reached here about 8 o'clock this evening. He was weak .from tne loss of blood and fatigue. Dr. Block w as called and every possible attention Isvas given him. The doctor says his wonnds Tire not serious. The Woman's Wonnds "ot Serious. Mrs. Andrews and her little girl have both been brought here and locked np. Her wound is a flesh wound, the bail enter ing her arm without hitting the bone. It is not known who fired the shot which hit her, although Murphy says he thinks it was her husband. Detective Gilkinson's body has been also brought here and at this hour is lving at the undertaker's. Great excitement prevails here. The prominence of the detective, the startling and sensational tragedy, the death of Gil kinson, the escape oi Andrews, and the con rjei (.on of the wanian in the case, has com bine i io raise excitement to a fever height. Man pursuers, including several officers, are already in pursuit and engaged in scouring the country, particularly in the vicinity of the shooting, hoping evjn in the darkness to find Andrews either dead or alive, or at least a definite clew as to the direction he took. It is expected that he will be speedily captured. Andrews' description is as follows: s Height; 5 feet S Inches. Weight, 130 pounds. Dark complexion, eyes and hair. Mustache short, and gray mixture. Age, 37. Detective Murphy'i Story. Detective Murphy, although laboring un der great disadvantages, told the following story: "Gilkinson and I came np at 1:30 o'clock to-day. "We had information re garding this man Budd, which I gained through a woman named Laura Hill,alias Snowden, who has been nearly two weeks in jail at" Pittsburg. The man's name was discovered through initials on a ring found on the wife 'to-night, bnt he was previously known through large correspond ence. He was known in Pittsburg as A. G. Budd, but in Home's drygoods store, where he was employed as a clerk, he was known as T. G. Andrews. Through a letter discovered after a long trip through Eastern cities, the first clews being a money order for $25 from Philadelphia signed T. Andrews, and a letter found in the woman's possession signed Sam Andrews, I was led to look after a package addressed in the- same hand to Ida Pickard, Harrisburg. I found she had left there, but I got the box which con tained the jewelry taken at the Homestead robbery. I now have it in my possesion. "I came back to Pittsburg and saw Laura Hill who, I thought, told crooked stories, and locked her ud in jail a week ao last Thursday. She is one of the smartest and sharpest women in this country. I took her out of the jail day before yesterday, and she steered us on to the proper residence. I went there and Gilkinson staid on the hill. The Scenes In the House. "I asked: Is Budd home?' The woman replied: 'Who are you?' I said my name was Jones. She said that Jones was too common a name. Jnst then Gilkinson came up behind me and said it did not matter. I pushed forward into the room and said: 'I have a search warrant and want Budd and am going to have him whether he is Budd, Andrews or Fitzsiinmons. "I went into the back room while the woman tried to hold me, arrd Budd jumped from his bed in his night shirt and began shootinc The first ball grazed my fore head, the second hit me in the breast, and another grazed, as the doctor says, from the fourth rib on the right side. I think the second shot killed Gilkinson. As I saw him reel and fall on his back behind me, I grabbed Budd and threw him on the floor, his pistol at the time being empty. The woman handed him a tresh-loaded one, of which I carry the marks. He jumped from under me when I was struck in the breast. I thought that T had my last and ran. 1 must have hit toe man, for I fired at him while he lay beneath me. In the excitement he got away, but he is not far. The Woman Meant Business. "As I pushed in the door the woman shouted: 'Kill them both; I've got one of them.' Then she handed the pistol to her husband with the result you see. "This man Fitxsimmons, who has worked everything from United States mail to a country jewelry store, and left himself liable to a charge of murder before he fired the fatal shot at Gilkinson, was wanted in McKeesport for a silk robbery from the dry goods store of Skelly." At this point Detective Murphy was com pelled to retire by his physician's advice, to avoid, any further excitement or nervous prostration. STOOD Af THE HEAD. PACTS ABOUT DAVID GTLEXNBOli, THE i MURDERED DETECTIVE. He Was Head of the American Bureau Work as a Secret Sen ice Officer Brought tho Gordon Cans and tho Pan handle Bobbers to Justice. David H. Gilkinson the murdered man, was one of the best known detectives in the county. He was about 40 years old, of medium height, and had the repntation of being a handsome man. His home is at Coraopolis, where his wife resides. He has no children. For the past five years he has been at the head of the American Detective Bureau, which he organized himself. He first won honor in detective work while in the secret service of the Treasury Depart ment during the time that H. Bncher Swope was United States District Attorney. Dur ing this time he was associated with Detect ive Perkins, who now conducts the Perkins Detective Agency in this city. He dispersed and sent np a number of gangs in varions parts of Western Pennsylvania and West Vcrginia. The biggest strike he made here wasthe breaking up ot the famous Gordon gang, which for three or four years-terrorized Allegheny county by the boldness and number of their robberies. Matters finally culminated when Insurance Agent Alpert, of McKeesport, was decoyed to " Homestead and robbed of a large sum of money. The letter that brought him there was written by Dr. Back, oi Braddoek. Gil kinson was called in, and taking the letter as a starting point, by the close of 1884 he had the whole gang of six behind the bars. Gordon, the leader, went np for 26 vears. and Dr. Buck, Mr. Crnson, his sister, and the other members of the gang each got long sentences. Gordon made a fight and the detective chased him through a half dozen States, finally capturing him in a cornfield in Indiana. Detective Gilkinson next appeared in the lead in 1887, when he unearthed the famous Panhandle robberies. The trainmen had been robbing cars for months all along the line of the road. Thousands of dollars worth of goods had been taken. Gilkinson and his men brought to light the whole af fair, and on one night alone they arrested over 80 ot the men. Before he finished he had over 120 men implicated in the robberies. He also did good work in the McCausland murder case. It was largely through his work that the identity of the Rudert mur derers was discovered. He also assisted in fastening the murder of Miss Douglass, of McKeesport, on Eddie Myers, who was alterward convicted. Although not actively engaged in work for the Government, nearly all the recent arrests of counterfeiters of any note have been made under the direction of Mr. Gil kinson. He was one of the best-posted men on criminal history in the country, and his worth had built np for him a large and. lu crative business in this and the bordering States. RUMORS OF ANOTHER MURDER, , A Report That Walter Grove Had Been Killed in Sharpsbnxg. It was rumored on the streets late last night that Walter Grove, an oil broker who lives in Sewickley, had been killed in a bar-room brawl in 'Sharps burg by a man named Downey. It was said the murder had occurred at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, but the rumor did not reach the city before 11 o'clock last evening. Inspector McAleese and the Police De partment bad heard nothing about it Peo plein Sharpsburg could give no information, and it i generally believed that the report is false.

Murphy is conceded by all who know him to be one of the most gritty men ever in the police business, but for some reason there was last night-Tnore un certainty surrounding his birth and ante cedents as befogged the birth of the late lamented Mr. Homer. Alderman Gripp, who first made his acquaintance in the de tective line, knew very little about him further than their connection necessarily re quired. He says Murphy was born near Mans field, and has never been out of the county but once in his life. His youth was spent at and about Elizabeth. He worked in the mines at Coultersvills after that as a coal digger. He took an active part in one of the great strikes, and among others was prosecuted by Gilbert Rafferty. He was acquitted, but was boycotted by all the coal operators. About 1881 he was elected constable at Coultersville, where his clever work attracted the atten tion of Coroner McDowell, who was then conducting a detective agency in Pittsburg, and he was placed as a member of Mc Dowell's force. One of his famous pieces of work was the shooting of a man at Muckle- rat, where he was arresting some rioters. They took refuge in a church, but Murphy followed them and arrested his man. As he and another constable were taking him away, a man raised a big stone to throw at them. Murphy or dered his partner to shoot the man. He hesitated, and Murphy, snatching the re volver from the man's hands, fired and the man fell. Without waiting, Murphy brought his prisoner to Pittsburg, and when he turned him over, asked to be locked up himself. The man, however, recovered and Murphy was released. Por a time previous 'to this Mnrphy had been a jewelry peddler. When Alderman G,ripp came into office Mnrphy became his constable and has remained as such until a few months ago, when he opened a detective agency for himself. He has a record of being intelligent, fearless, shrewd and thor oughly honest. He has been mentioned quite frequently of late as a successor to Coroner McDowell. Althongh Murphy is not quite SO years old his hair is white as snow. He is married and has six children living. GENERAL JOHNSTON AT REST. THE HJ.USTKIOUS CONFEDERATE COM ' MAKDEB DIED LAST NIGHT. A Cold Acquired at the Sherman Funeral Accravates Hli Heart Trouble A Brief Sketch of His Active Military Career In Three Wars. "WASHnrGXOJS-, March 21. Gen. Joseph E. Johnston died shortly after 11 o'clock to night, at his residence on Connecticut ave nue. The General has been suffering for the past three weeks with an affection of the heart, aggravated by a cold be caught soon after General Sherman's funeral in New York. His pbysicians have been trying to keep his strength up for some days, but his advanced age has given little hope for his recovery from the beginning of his illness. General Johnston was born at Cherry Grove, Va ia 1807, and was graduated from West Point in 1829 in the same class with General Robert E. Lee. He was ap pointed Second Lieutenant of the Fourth Artillery, and first saw active service in the field in 1832 in the Black Hawk war. He was promoted in 1836 and was an aide de camp on General "SVinfield Scott's staff in the Seminole "War. He participated in all the important battles con nected with General Scott's campaign in Mexico. He was thrice brevetted for gal lantry during this war, and in 1818 was mustered out of the service as a Lieutenant Colonel of volunteers, only to be reinstated by Congress with his original rank ot Cap tain of Topographical Engineers. He was commissioned Quartermaster Gen eral of the United States Army in June, 1860, bnt resigned the following April to enter the Confederate service, in which, as a Major General of volunteers, he assisted General Lee in the work of organizing the men who were ponring into Richmond. Subsequently he was commissioned a Brig adier General in the regular Confederate ser vice, and was placed in command of Harper's Ferry. He joined forces with Beauregard and remained in command of the consolidated troops until 1862. At the battle of Seven Pines he was wounded and incapacitated for duty for about six months. His next service was as Commander of the Army of the Tennessee. He was relieved of this com mand in July, 186L Early in 1863 Ge neral Lee again assigned him to the command and ordered him to drive back Sherman. Lee surrendered at Appomattox and Johnston, obtaining the consent of President Jefferson Davis that the war should not be further prolonged, entered into negotiations with Sherman. General Johnston, after the war. became successively President of a railroad com panv in Arkansas, of an express company in Virginia, and an insurance agent in Georgia. He was elected to Congress from the Richmond district in 1877, and next saw public life as Commissioner of Railroads, which office he held under President Cleve land's administration. He had lived in this city since he lost his office nnder the present administration BB0KE INTO THE WHITE HOUSE. Senator Vance's Stepson, In Maniacal Frenzy, Makes the Attack. "Washington. March 21. At a little after 8 o'clock this evening special officers on duty at the "White House were startled at hearing a great crash of glass. Through the broken glass of a window they saw a man jump to one side as if to escape, but before he could effect his purpose the officers had seized him. He was a young man of about 25 years of age, and had on no .clothing except trous ers, nndershirt and shoes. He appeared to be a raving maniac, and fonght the officers like a demon. His screams brought the President and some of the members of his household to the upper windows, where they were informed that an insane man bad attempted to break into the house. ' The prisoner was taken to the station house. He had been identified as Harry Martin, the stepson of Senator Vance. He has the reputation of being one of the best all-around athletes in the city, but his besetting weakness is drink. - r ilLliUU nllL -LI 1 1 U IV L II po11 and the majority is the most IB ILL UUL MIL I L I Ul fft5 i & Ull IS a successful achieved by the anti-Home li li l Bulers since 1886, but it proves chiefly that - " -- ' ' '3 By the Srore in the Bitter Figte Governor Pattison Not Likely to lAii Cf3U " Legislative Committee Considers J nf trm Irish Pnlitiral tion.

THE OPPOSITION TO PAENELL GROWING 1BY CABLE TO THX DISPATCH.l Dublin, March 3L The scenes of vio lent rowdyism that occurred in Grange yes terday, when the Parnellite candidate, Alderman Dillon, and Tim Harrington were hooted and assaulted, were transferred to-day to Shgo town. John Redmond reached Sligo this morn ing with David Sheehy, M. P. for Galway, and Alderman Collery, the McCarthyite candidate. They went to the market place to hold their meeting and soon had an audience around them. While they were speaking Alderman Dillon, Harrington, Nolan, M. P., and some others approached with the intention of mingling with the crowd. Collery caught sight of the newcomers and beckoned to them to mount the plat form. Harrington did so, and Alderman Dillon was in the act of doing so when he was seized roughly and pulled off to the ground. Harrington, believing Coilery's invitation to be genuine, maintained his position for some minutes and said to Col lery, "Go ahead; we will speak when you have done." At this there were loud cries from the crowd of "put him off." Harrington Thrown Among the Crowd. Sheehy, who had come to the support of Harrington when he saw him assailed, stood forward with him, both having their hats off, and began to speak, but his voice was inaudible in the turmoil. A rush from be hind, led by McHugh, a priest, dislodged Harrington from his position and be landed on thn shoulders of the crond. Dillon and Harrington were hustled back io the side of the market and the crowd showed a great deal of fierce ness and violence. Nolan and John Kelly got on the tail of a cart to address the people and ucon a signal given from the platform by William Mc Carthy, a large section of the meeting, headed by McHugh and some other priests, forced them from their po sition. Harrington and other Parnellites then attempted to storm the platform used by the speaker. The mob immediately at tacked Harrington, ' He was thrown neon the ground and was severely handled in the free fight which ensued. Finally the police' separated the combatants and were obliged to escort the Parnellites from the market place and prevented JuHher violenoe. Billon Denounces tho frlest. McHugh making himself conspicuous, Dillon said to him: "This is blackguardly conduct, after Mr. Collery inviting us up on the platform." McHugh replied: "You had no right to come here; we don't want to hear you." Dillon retaliated: "Yon are afraid the people should hear us." Dillon and his friend then left the yard. Collery did not continue his speech, and Sheehy denounced the occurrence as an attempt to break up the meeting. Great interest is taken in this North Sligo contest. Up to the present Parnell has been beaten at his own game of violence, and his henchmen have experienced the novel sensa tion of having their meetings broken up and their voices drowned in popular clamor. A luxuriant crop of broken heads is con fidently counted upon for to-morrow, when about a score of rival meetings will be held in the constituency. In the meantime fights arc frequent, in which blackthorns and broken heads are the ordinary incidents, it being evident that the street corner "boys" are not all on Par nell's side, as has been asserted. Yesterday the Parnellites had an unusually rough time with their opponents, the McCarthy crowd being led by the Sligo priests. Waiting for Farnell's Answer. Maurice Healy, the McCarthyite member for Cork, challenged by Parnell to resiirn his seat in Parliament, not having received an answer to the letter addressed by him to Parnell, the anti-Parnellites are charg ing that the ex-leader intends to wriggle out of the situation. Parnell'g friends, however, declare that there is no danger of a fluke on the part of their favorite, but that when free from pressing engagements he will again appeal io ruo constituents. It is stated that his election committee are negotiating with two or three gentlemen who would prove strong candidates, with a view to the selection oi one of them to stand with him lor the scat now held by Healy. It is also probable that in the event of a contest Michael Davitt. in spite of his protestations to the contrary, will contest Parnell's seat. Parnell has been in Dublin all day in consultation with leading members of his Cork Election Committee. Up till 10 o'clock to-night no decision had been arrived at respecting Maurice Healy's challenge, and the general impression is that Parnell will find leasons for refusing to resign his seat. To-morrow he will ad dress a meeting atDrogheda, where prepara tions are being made to give him a great re ception. An Antl-Farnell Demonstration. A very significant demonstration against Parnell was made at the great convention of delegates representing the Irish National League branches in the North of England, held in New Castle-on-Tyne this afternoon, Resolutions vigorously denouncing the ex leader's misconduct and pledging support to the parlimentary majority were carried with enthusiasm, and an amendment in Parnell's favor was supported solely by its proposer. Mr. Maher, a prominent Tipperary Na tionalist, says that O'Donovan Rossa, when he reaches Ireland, will be asked to contest the Tipperary constituency at the next elec tion. Mrs. William O'Brien, who, since her husband's arrest, has remained with her parents in Paris, is now visiting in Ireland, in order to be present at the trial of the Tipperary assault case at the Cork Assizes, where both Dillon and O'Brien are to ap pear at witnesses. Major Le Caron, the well-remembered spy, lsjnbtnow seriously ill. The Major has resided in a pretty honse in the snbnrbs of London with his American wife ever since the recent commission. He has pre ferred to remain in semi-obscurity, for he realizes better than any one else his life would not be worth a trifle if he was not painfully careful. His apprehension of as sault and murder is always with him. - LIBERALS BADLY BEATEN. Joseph Chamberlain Show His Power In a Birmingham Suburb. tBT CABLE TO TBI DISPATCU.l London, March 21.

Dispatches received by the Foreign Office from St. Petersburg convey very unwelcome information point ing to the conclusion of a formal treaty of alliance between France and Russia. Until recently the Czar had resisted all atteniDts of going beyond an entente with France. The draft of a treaty prepared in Paris in 1387, and approved by M. de Giers, the Grand Dukes Nicholas and Vladimir, and the other chiefs of the Imperial connsel on the part of Russia, and which was then re jected by the Czar, but was again presented to him after the last elections in France, had confirmed the permanency of the Re publican form of Government in that coun try, and was again rejected, has finally re ceived his sanction. As an event of such immense importance as this cannot be kept secret, it is expected that M. de Giers, Minister of Foreign Af fairs, will cause some informal notification to reach the Governments of the Dreibund. As a corollary of the alliance, the Czar, it is stated, has signed a decree bestowing upon President Carnot the grand decoration of the order of St. Andrew, the highest in Russia, and one limited to members of the Imperial lamily. This decoration has hith erto been conferred as an exceptional honor on sovereigns nearly connected with the Russian throne. If the Foreign Office here has any precise knowledge regarding the terms of the reported Russo-French convention, highly placed officials have not been allowed to share it. The honor conferred upon Presi dent Carnot is the open talk of the diplom atic circle. The announcement that it had been conferred was telegraphed here under the sanction of the St. Petersburg author ities. No open dispatch can be obtained re garding the conclusion of the treaty.

Mr. MacQueary was given an opportunity to renounce the min istry before the trial, but he did not avail himself of that opportunity. "He cannot now resign, but will be de posed at the end of six months unless he re tracts his expressed opinions. He can re sign the parish and desert the commnnion of the church, but he cannot resign from the ministry." LIKGO FOUND GUILTY. Conclusion of the Noted Murder Trial In Philadelphia's Suburb. Camden, N. J., March 21. The jury in the case of , the colored man, Francis Lingo, who was charged with the murder of Mrs. Annie Miller, of Matchtown, Camden county, last night returned a verdict of guilty .of murder in the first degree. This caused a great deal of surprise, as a dis agreement of the jury, if not an actual acquittal, was looked forward to. Lingo was at one time charged with the murder of Annie Laconey, near the same place, and, though he was never brought to trial, he was an important witness lor the State in the prosecution against Cnalkley Laconey, the murdered girl's uncle. . , ,T ' T u 74 V m " PEOEEETY OWMES.

Haerisbuko, March 21. The men who are managing the bill providing for a dis play of Pennsylvania's resources and prod ucts at the World's Fair at Chicago in 1893, are taking great chances in tho provision which gives the Legislature recognition in the commission proposed to he ap pointed to represent the State at the exposition. Governor Pattison' is very anxious that Pennsylvania shall have an exhibition of her mineral, agricul tural and other resources commensurate with her importance as the keystone ot the Federal arch, but if the bill having this pur pose in view should be passed in its present objectionable shape he would likely be com pelled to disapprove it because of its uncon stitutionality. Section 6 of article 2 provides that "no Senator or Representative shall, during the time for which he shall be elected, be ap pointed to any civil office under this Com monwealth." The Governor during his first term re fused to appoint members of the Legislature on hospital commissions because such action would, in his opinion, have contravened the scetion to which reference is made, and he could hardly be expected to sign a bill which contemplates their appointment as members of the World's Fair Commission, which is empowered to expend the money they assisted in appropriating.

The original bill introduced, looking to a proper display of the State's products, might have properly been adopted, if not in its entirety at least as the groundwork for legislation having that object in view. It provided for the appointment of a commis sion of 15, to be selected by the Governor from various portionsof the Commonwealth and to represent all the important interests of Pennsylvania. None of the members were intended to be Representatives of the Legislature. The bill being pushed through the Legis lature is being made more objectionable as it approaches .final consideration. It origi nally provided that the Governor should ap point three members of the commissiou and the presiding officers of the Senate and House each two members of the respective branchesof thcLegislature. The House Cen tennial Committee increased the Legislative representation from four to eight and consti tuted the President pro tern, of "the 'Senate and Speaker of the House members of the commission. It also inserted a provision which gives the commission a dangerous power in the expenditure of a portion of the appropriation of 5300,000, which the com mittee raised from 5150,000. Tho Provision for Expenses. Senator Logan's bill, which was the first introduced, put the maximum individual expenses ot the members oi the commission at $4 a day. The bill introdnced by Sen ator McCreary, which is now on the House calendar, increased this amount to 50 a day, but the Honse Centennial Committee has wiped out the limitation of these expenses, and p&t a clause into it which provides that the ex penses incurred by the members of the said board shall be paid as debts incurred by the said board. This modification in the bill looks very much as if junketing were intended to form one of the features of the commission, while its work should be characterized by sonnd business methods. A Scramble After the Places. Senator Logan's bill did not contemplate the organization of the commission until Jannary next, bnt the present measure authorizes its formation 30 days after the appointment of its members, and accord ingly permits the beginning of the expendi ture; ot the appropriation nearly two years before the opening of the exposition. A quiet but persistent contest is already in progress among members of the Legisla ture for representation on the commission, but it is likely to be fruitless in results un less the Governor should decide that he was wrong in interpreting the Constitution to mean that no member of the Legislature should be placed on a hospital commission. In view of the careful manner in which he treats Constitutional questions as applied to legislation such a conclusion is not among the probabilities. ARCHITECTURE OF THE CAPITOL. Pattison Will Never Consent to a Marring of the Colonial Style, .SrECIAL TELEOEAM TO THE DISrATOH.1 Hakeisbueo, March 21. The Capitol Commission has completed its bill appro propriating 5500,000 for the construction of a library building and $125,000 for the im provement and enlargement of the hall of the House of Representatives and for the remodeling of other places on the bill de manding it. Very little sentiment is said to have been exhibited at the meeting of the commission in its consideration of the ques tions submitted to it 'by the Legislature in favor of a new Capitol now, but the library building is to be constructed so as to form one of tne wings of a new Capitol, if its erec tion should be determined on by a subse quent Legislature. In thiblbuilding it is proposed to accom modate the executive department, the office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth, At torney General's Department, Adjutant General's Department, State Treasury, Auditor General's Department and the Lieutenant Governor. The library is to be made large enough to contain about 150,000 books,' or more than twice the capacity of the present building. The Department of Public Instruction, the Department of Insurance, the office of the State Board of Agricultnre, and the Sol diers Orphans' Department are to be trans ferred to the building now occupied by the execntive and other departments. The main Capitol bnilding is to be generally improved, but a large portion of the $125,000 proposed to be appropriated is to go toward the remodeling of the hall of the House. The two branches of the Legislature are to have the exclusive use of the main building for aiiy purposes for which they may need it. The Governor is in thorough accord with the object of the bill drawn by the commis sion and has a' warm side for the colonial architecture applied to the Capitol buildings and does not want it disturbed for the present at least.

WILL BUILD A TOWN. HUNGARIANS SECURE A SITE IN FAYETTE COUNTY. Shipload to Arrive Early Next Month Capitalists TVho 'Will Erect a Coke Works Said to Be Back of the Scheme Farmers Angry. JSFEC1AL TXLXOBAH TO THE DISPATCH.! Uniontown, March 21. A Hungarian or Slav town has been founded about two miles south of this place, on the Morgan town road, and the town will be laid ont and built during the coming spring and sum mer. About 100 Huns of the Connellsville coke reglori have put their earnings to gether and purchased 60 acres of the Robert Allen farm upon which the town is located, and about the same nnmber of acres of the Dawson Ebbert farm which adjoins it have been optioned by an agent for some 60 Huns who will arrive here from their native country early In April. Sheriff George A. McCormick is engineer ing the matter for the Huns, he having first purchased the properties of the original owners. The plan of the town is already made, and the deeds for the lots are being made out and recorded as rapidly as possible. It is said a company of coal operators are at the bottom of this scheme, and this rumor is made almost a certainty by the fact that capitalists are onying un considerable land in that section. The object, it is claimed, is to start an extensive coke works near where this Hungarian town is to be built. None of the coal in the neigh borhood has been mined and hundreds of. acres of the richest coking coal surround the site of the new town. Farmers in that neighborhood are up in arms against the locating of the town and many are selling their land surfaces and preparing to move away. MAYOR M0SBY RENOMINATED.

Robert son, Lambie, Williams, Bigbam, Mac Gonigle and Taggart, of Pittsburg, and Messrs. Kennedy, Wertheimer, Dahlinger and C. W. Neeb, of Allegheny. A nnmber of other gentlemen were also is attendance, among them Senators Flinn and Neeb, City Attorney Moreland and Assist ant City Attorney Burleigh, of Pittsburg, City Attorney Blphinstone, of Allegheny, and Chief Bigelow, of the Department of Public Works. The committee organized by electing Arthur Kennedy chairman and Edward Martin clerk. Senator Flinn brought with him the wharf and park bills now pending in the Legislature in order that the committee might hear them read and adopt any amend ments it should see fit. Appearance of All the Hills. City Attorney Moreland appeared with a heavy roil of papers, composed of the bills which the attornevs have been working on to get the city out of its predicament caused by the recent decision -of the Sarreme Court in the street improvement cases. These latter include a curative act for the reassessment of street improvements previously made and unpaid for, an act for the assessment of street improvements in the future, an act establishing departments of awards and library in cities ot the second class, an act anthorizing the issue of certifi cates of indebtedness by the city to contractors on street improvements in order that such improvements may not be delayed, an act fixing the dnties and potters of the various city departments. The other bills include an act conferring special powers on police magistrates, an act giving cities of the second class power to purchase property for park purposes, and the bills now in the Legislature for the change of city wharves and the use of the same for market purposes. 'Prompt Action Decidedly ecessary. The members were made fully aware of the importance of prompt action on these bills, as none can be introduced in the Leg islature after Tuesday next. It was deemed necessary that the committeemen from Alle gheny, as well as Pittsburg.should bear the bills read before they were given to the Leg islature for passage as the two cities will be affected alike by them. The first bill brought up was Senate bill No. 195. It provided for the regulation or suppression, bv ordinance of Councils, of the emission of smoke from bituminous coal from chimneys and stacks within the city limits. Senator Flinn said that the bill struok him as being sensible. Manufacturers were coins back from gas to coal and if the smoke nnisancc wa3 not regulated now it would be a terrible job to do so in the future. After a brief discussion the bill was recommended. Senate bill No. 143, defining the powers aud dnties of police magistrates in cities of the second class, was the next act read. It empowered them to takecriminal informa tions, hold hearings, etc. Senator Flinn said he understood that at present the police magistrates have no powers and only draw their salaries. The bill had been drawn in coniormity with Judge Slagle's opinion. Mr. Kennedy asked if Allegheny would have the right to appoint police magis trates. Mr. Dahlinger replied that the Supreme Court did not strike down that part of the charter act empowering the Mayor to ap point police magistrates, but only struck out a part of the powers of the magistrates. The'Clty Attorney Without an Opinion. Mr. Robertson turned to City Attorney Moreland for an opinion. Mr. Moreland replied: "I have no opinion in the world 'on anything, even as to the existence of the Constitution itself. He subsequently said: "As J understand the opinion of the Su preme Court, the police magistrates are preserved in this city and have jurisdiction in cases at common law. This act is to de fine more clearly and distinctly that juris diction." Upon motion the committee approved ths bill. Senate bill No. 33 came next. It author ized the purchase and holding oi land for park purposes, the appropriation of money to pay for the sameand the confirmation and validating of purchases already made. This, act had been revised by City Attorney' Moreland to conform to the Supreme Court decision in ther street cases, by having view ers to appraise laqd condemned for park purposes appointed by the court and giv ing persons interested a right of appeal to the court. Mr. Lambie objected to the act, saying it would be unconstitutional. He claimed that legislation relating to anvthing out side of regular municipal government could not be made for a class of cities only, but must inclnde all cities. Mr. Moreland replied that the regulation of parks was strictly a municipal function. The bill was then recommended. Senate bill Ho. 35 was next taken np. It provided for the renting and leasing of. por tions of the wharves for market purposes. Mr. Bigelow Explains the Bill. Chief Bigelow gave an explanation of the object of the bill. He said there were com plaints from the merchants about the mar ket gardeners selling from wagons in the street, and the association of the gardeners had said that they were willing to goon Duquesne way. The bill was approved, and Senate bill No. Si followed. It authorized Councils, by ordinance, to change, alter or improve the wharves, provided they did not interfere with the channel of the river. Chief Bigelow said that two years ago Councils instructed him to fill up the Alle gheny whirf. He commenced the work bat Mr. Seese went into court and stopped him. They have plenty of wharf room, and that part from Sixth s'treet to the Exposition was not needed, and it was the Intention to fill it up and make a little park. It would not affect the river men. Mr. Kennedy said that where Allegheny 4 H, &
