Chief Elliot Must Find the Farm.
The other ordinance recommended pro
Tides that each chief shall award contracts
for the supplies for bis department, subject
to the approval of Councils. The new
charter created a Department of Awards,
composed of the Mayor and the three chiefs,
but as that was declared illegal yesterday's
action was talen. Under this ordinance the
duty of selecting a. new poor farm will
devolve upon Chief Elliot alone, always
subject to the concurrence of Councils.
These ordinances were at ouce sent to the
printers, so that they may be ready for the
meeting of Councils to-morrow afternoon.
Controller Morrow is well pleased with
the sinking fund ordinance, as it largely em
bodies the ideas he has advocated for several
years. An oidinance somewhat similar in
character as defeated in Councils some
rears ago. It was again presented at the
last regular meeting of Councils, merely! to
get the matter immediately unueray. It
was referred to the Finance Committee, which
evolved yesterday's legislation from it.
Chairman Magce, of the Finance Commit
tee, was asked the reason for holding secret
sessions and leplied: "Well, I think all
committee meetings should be secret. In
this case we expect to have some discussion,
and it is possible that we may send for some
gentlemen to address the committee, and
they might not care to talk for pnblication."
A little later, during the progress of the
meeting, Mr. Magee announce! that he had
risked permission of the committee to open
the doors, but they had refused.
Tho Mayor Opposed to Secrecy.
"It is hardly proper for Council lien, who
are the servants of the people, to take secret
action on the disposition of the millions
turned into the city treasnry by their con
stituents," said Mayor Gourley. "Every
taxpayer in the city is vitally interested in
the manner in which municipal affairs
are administered, especially when it
relates to financial matters. They not
only desire to know the conclusions
of their representatives, but they desire a
fall understanding of the reasoning leading
up to such conclusions. The Finance Com
mittee is the most important of all Council
manic committees, and the public are espe
cially interested in its discussions. This is
more particularly true at this time, when
fiscal affairs of the city are in a muddle.
Every man who owns property is intensely
anxious to know just how the'eity is going
to get ont of its trouble, because of the ef
fect it may have upon their holdings.
"In my 18 years experience in Councils 1
never knew of any reason for holding secret
committee meetings. I do not approve of
such secrecy, as I believe it is both unneces
sary and very poor policy."
A FAMILY CONSPIRACY.
Sensational Suit Instituted by Thomas B.
Smithson to Kegain Possession of His
Talented Daughters Lawrenceville So
ciety People Parties to the Suit.
Thomas S. Smithson yesterday entered
suit before Alderman Donovan against his
parents-in-law, Peter Coleman and wife,
and his sisters-in-law, Lizzie Coleman and
Jlrs. Northwood, charging them with con
spiracy. All the parties to the action are
well-known society people in Lawrenceville.
Smithson charges that his relatives some
time since inflienced his wife to leave him
and then brought the same influence to
bear on his daughters, Florence and Sadie
Smithson. The wife of the prosecutor is
sot, however, brought in as a factor in the
suit which rests entirely in the influence
exercised over the two daughters. The
latter are very talented mnsicians, Florence
iaving gained more than a local reputation
by her singing. She was thought so highly
' of that Manager Locke, of the tmma Juch
Opera Company, made a contract with her
and she was engaged for the tour
the company is at present making.
According, however, to the information
the defendants persuaded the girl to annul
the contract. The other daughter was also
gi'ted, and has frequently sung in public,
like her f ister, and between them have had
many profitable engagements. The profits,
it is charged, invariably went to the de
fendants. The prosecutor claims that his daughters
are both under age; thai he has contribute
every cent he earned to givs them a musical
education; has had them thoroughly
trained, and at the time when he anti
cipated receiving in return some benefit,
they are influenced to give the money they
make to the defendants, in place oi to him.
His suit is but the preliminary step toward
an action to recover complete possession of
bis daughters, who he claims have entirely
lorsakea him. A hearing will be held
Thursday.

Lizzie l3Vbcock Comes to Pittsburg for a
Change of Scene.
Lizzie Babcock, a 15-year-o'.d runaway
from Oil City, was a Central station pris
oner last night. Yesterday afternoon the
parents of the girl arrived in the city, and
sought information from Inspector Mc
Aleese, to whom they furnished a descrip
tion of the missing daughter. Last night
the Inspector, witn Detective Hobiuson,
visited the Union depot, and found the girl
working at the lunch counter there, and
placed her under arrest At the station the
cirl stated that she and a girl named Annie
Miller had left home together, their only
reason being that they were tired cf home
life, and desired to work for themselves.
On the way the Miller girl repented and re
turned home, and Lizzie continued on to
this city, and for two days worked as cham
bermaid, at the Seventh Avenue Hotel, and
then secured employment at the Union

The girl's parents were at once notified,
and were overjoyed, as the girl is an only

AN ELECTRIC SHOCK
Said to Be an Excellent Remedy for

A Freniaeut Fittsbtrg Fhysidsn Uu Orlghatoi cftii
Hfcrote Theory.
One by one the citizens of Pittsburg and
Allegheny have knocked nnder to the com
mon enemy, the grip, until now at least
three-fourths of the people are affected
with the disease in some shape or another,
and declare life to be a burden thought of
so lightly as to be thrown aside as one
would cast off a well-worn garment The
warm sunshine promised for yesterday
caused the spirits of the sufferers to rise, but
when morning came, bringing with it the
soft snow and slush, all hopes for a cessa
tion of the triumphs of the Bussian intruder
were rapidly succeeded by the old feeling of
despair.
It is generally allowed by the Victims, if
not the doctors, that no power on earth will
stop the progress of the disease, and that
about the only thing possible is to let run its
course, taking stimulants to keep one phys
ically able to stand the awful strain. But
so many new remedies that "will positively
cure the grip" are to he found that there is
at least a ray of hope that the experiments
may prove of some benefit to the thousands
who are hovering between life and death
and almost wish for the latter. All over the
United States and Canada the friends of hu
manity are watching the progress of the
epidemic in Pittsburg, and numerous letters
regarding it are received daily.
Electricity Alleviates Suffering.
Dr. Gentry, of this city, who is a firm be
liever in the curative qualities of electricity,
for the past few days has been investigating
its action on the grip. One of his patients
said yesterday afternoon that it is positively
the only thing that bas in the least affected
his case, and after a good strong dose of it
he felt prepared to get out of bed and defy
the weather but on the doctor's advice he
stayed in the house.
The manner of treatment is to connect the
battery to each side of the head at the base
of the brain, and then turn on as much as
the patient can stand. The cure, for the in
stant, is if anything worse than the disease.
but after the treatment is discontinued, the
patient feels greatlv strengthened. The idea
is that as the grip works on the nervous sys
tem, it is best to build it up again.
Some doctor? are alleged to have spoken
of an electric battery as a "quack machine, '
as it only temporarily stimulates the pa
tient and deceives him with the idea that be
has been greatly benefited or permanently
cured. It is declared that there can be no
permanent benefits derived from its use and
that ia the end it is more harmful than
good. Dr. Gentry is experimenting on his
idea very quietly and Jew know what suc
cess he has attained.
Everybody Ens a Cure.
The Dispatch has "received numerous
letters from people in aU parts of the United
States and even from Canada, giving cures
that are warranted to cure the grip and all
kindred diseases in that order, and the pe
culiar part is that some of the prescriptions
and directions are precisely opposite.
Among the letters received was one from
Dr. T. H. Eddowes, of Chattanooga, who
gives a prescription vrhich he says has
cured every case he has had in America, as
well as all cases in whiith it was used by
himself and his faihe. in England. He
says be bas used tho ture in hundreds of
cases.
Dr. Eddowes' prescription reads as fol
lows: Two drachms muriate ammonia, V
drachms tincture aconite root, 1 drachm
tincture foxglove, 2 drachms sweet spirits
nitre. ounce aromatic avrup rhubarb.
water enough to make four ounces. This is
to be taken two teaspnonfnls every four
hours. Also, take Dove; powder, 6 grains,
and mercury with chalk, 3 grains, mak
into one powder and take one of these each
nigh: and morning. Stimulants must be
given at all times in the shape of beef tea,
brandy, eggs, milk and bread a day or two
old.
This Dr. Eddowes recommends as a per
fect cure, and submits it lor the benefit of
the suffering humanity in general and the
poorer classes in particular.
Must Live on "Wind and Water.
Radically different is the treatment of
fered by L. Unser, 8 Halter street, -Toronto,
Canada, who says instead of etimulantsaue
should ''adopt a purelv vegetable diet and
jivoid chicken broth, beef tea, milk, cream,
ana in iaci au stimulants." Tue only par
ticular in which this treatment agrees with
that of Dr. Eddowes' is tL-at ail the
pure air possible should be in
haled by the patient. This brings up
the question as to where pure air can
be found in Pittsburg since the atlmospherg
is impregnated with the germs of the dis
ease. Mr. Unser advises the eatiiSg of one
meal a day, and that at 11 o'clotk A. M.
He advises the starving out of the disease
as the quickest way to get rid of it ,He is a
firm disciple of the vegetable diet and no
medicine idea, and enters into a long dis
cussion as to the effect that medicine bas on
the human system. He declares that if less
medicine were used people would live
longer.
In conclusion he says: "By1 all means
eat moderately and food consisting mostly
of wholesome? unbolted meal, made ' into'
breaQ or gruef, and do not eat alter 4 o'clock
P. M. Bathe' the body well, retire early, as
you cannot -make up for it the next day, as
the blood aud the constitution works with
the day.
Must Never Sleep Late.
"Bise efirly and take as much out-ddor ex
ercise as 'possible before the principal hearty
meal. 1 hen, if possible, waitnntil the next
day befc re eating again. People who live
on a hefiting diet are always hungry, butbV
living as I have stated they will very
quick y lose their craving and become very
cheerf.ul."
Th'e above statements are given for what
they are worth and if victims of the grip
wou.ld like to try Mr. Unser's scheme of liv
ing on wind and water he is welcome to!the
id'-a.
Notwithstanding the dozens of remedies
suggested, the victims of the grip continue
f.o sneeze and groan under the burden of
the disease. New features develop almost
every day. Perhaps the most alarming is
the blindness that attacks some ol the suf
ferers. Many of these cases are holding on
and it is leared that permanent blindness
may follow the attacks on some of the suf
ferers. This feature of the case is described
as one of the most painful, as the head feels
like it was being crushed nnder a heavy
weight and the eyes feel as if abont to fall
irom their sockets. So far no one has recov
ered from the grip with sightless eyes, but
fears are entertained that results may be as
bad.

SEVENTEEN DEATHS.
Victims of Grip and Pneumonia Reported
Almost Every Hour The Deaths of tne
Week The Disease Prevalent In the
Suburbs,
The grip spread rapidly yesterday, and
five deaths occurred attributable directly to
that disease, and 12 others were marked
pneumonia. The Bureau of Health reports
three deaths from pneumonia on Friday;
one from crip And seven from pneumonia oh
Thursday; six from pneumonia on "Wednes
day; two from pneumonia on Tuesday; four
from phenmoniaand two from grip oh Mon
day; eieht from pneumonia, three from
bronchitis, one from grip and one from in
fluenza on Sunday. The deaths have been
reported proportionately in all the towns
about Pittsburg, as the disease is as preva
lent in the open air suburbs as in the city
proper.
Nearly all the institutions in the city are
overcrowded with grip patients. There are
20 at the "West Penn Hospital, 23 at the
County Home at Edgeworth and SO at the
Institution for the Deaf. At the Edgewood
Home for Aged Cripples three deaths have
occurred. The Allegheny General Hospital
was built to accommodate 113 patients and
about 130 persons are being cared for there
at present, the majority having the grip.
Five of the nurses of that institution are
with Allegheny's mortality greatly exceeded
that of a week ago. .
In the suburbs as many people are sick as
in the city. In one family oh Penn avenue,
near Dallas, the entire family of ten persons
are in bed suffering from the grip. At
Wilkinsburg the school children have been
attacked. The Union Switch and Signal
Company works are badly crippled for want
of men. Half the inhabitants of Hawkins'
station, Dallas and Homewood are down
With the grip. The majority of the pupils
of the Pennsylvania College for Women are
suffering more or less from the universal
complaint
At the Park place laundry, at Brushton,
fully one-half the employes are sick, and
the paint works and brick yards at the same
place are in abont the same shape.
In the citv nearly every business or com
pany is crippled on account of the preval
ence of the grip. The Pittsburg and Lake
Erie Kailroad is running, bnt a great incon
venience is experienced bn account of the
dozens of employes who are unable to work.
The street car lines all over the city are In
the same position.
It is said that the special Easter musical
programme, prepared for to-day by the choir
of St Attenstine's B, C. Church, on Butler
street, will have to be omitted on account of
the illness of the majority of the members
of the choir.
THE MICROBE THEORY
Was Originated by Dr. ftlnndorfC of the
Southiide, Several Weeks Ago Talks
With 'His Brother Physicians It Was a
Tear Old.
Dr. E. A. Mundorff was seen last evert
ing, and said in reference to the discoverv
of germs of the grip by Dr. Geniry, of Chi
cago: "I have taken considerable interest in
Urn microscopical study of the germ, and
when I was attacked with the disease I took
the first opportunity to examine my own
mucous under the microscope, as pub
lished ih Tan Dispatch at thai time.
I discovered the germs of .the disease
similar to that mentioned this morning.
There is no doubt in my mind that the germ
is in existence, but where it comes from I
cannot tell. I propose to give this matter a
more thorough study, just as soon as r am
able, and will show that I was the first
pbvsician to advance the germ theory."
Dr. G. P. Bossman, of the Southside,
when shown the article said that he had not
had time to think where the disease came
from, whether from germs or not, and while
the theory might be correct it is best not to
hoot at it nor cry it down until it has been
proven one way or the other. "Dr. Mun
dorfi" is making a study ot the
germ theory," said Dr. Bossman,
"and as loon as he completes
his study it will be given out. I don't un
derstand the manner of catching the microbe
as stated in your paper, but, as I before
stated, think it best not to cry it down until
we receive official notice through our medi
cal journals, which are the only authorities
we recognize."
Dr. B.C. Hersman.1902 Carson street,!was
setn yesterday afternoon and said in refer
ence to the supposed discovery by Dr. Gen
try, of Chicago, of the grip ge-m: "I think
that it is possible, but would not like to say
much about it until I see the account ih the
jRdtcalJournal. I think myself that it is
caused by something of the kind. The
fast way in which it traveled from
Europe to this country, and then across the
Continent last year, is almost sufficient
'proof that the germs of the disease are in the
atmosphere, and it looks as if it has come to
stav.
"lb e grip itself is not so bad, but people
endeavor to cure themselves by dosing with
whisky and quinine and other enres sug
gested by friends, and finally, when they
Cannot effect a cure, they send for the doctor,
who finds It difficult to treat them."
JACOB STUCKRATH DEAD.
He Was Ex-JIayor of Allegheny and a Prom
inent Mason.
Jacob Stttckrath, ex-Mayor of Allegheny,
is one of the latest victims of pneumonia,
having died at his residence, 104 James
street, Allegheny, at the age of 85 years.
He was one of the best known residents of
that city. Thirty years ago he had a tannery
at the corner of Bace street and North ave
nue, and later bis establishment was located
on Spring Garden avenue. In 1857 and 1858
he was Mayor of Allegheny, and in 1878
was County Commissioner. He was a candi

the reception committee in Cleveland that
the committee here would have full charge
of the Pittsburg excursion, and it would be
glad to co-operate in any way that wonld
benefit the prospective demonstration. The

THB END EEAfcflED LAST EVEMtfQ.
A Busy Life Cat Short by an Attack of the
Pre'vailine Disease,
mPABATlONS TO IlOMfe THE DEAD
Kelson P. Beed died at bis residence on
Wilkins avenue, East End, at 9:15 o'clock
last evening. His death is attributable to a
severe attack of grip, terminating In con
gestion of the lungs. He was bnt tea
days ill, and it was expected that his strong
constitution would pull him through, hut
the disease bid taker! too strong a hold, and
could not be shaken. The deceased was but
49 years of age, and leaves a widow and two
children.
Mr. Beed was born in 1841, at Butler,
Pa. He passed through the Bbtler
Academy, and became assistant to his
father. Major George W. Keed, who was
Treasurer of the county. Mr. Beed saw
service during the war, having served with
the Butler company of volunteers at the.bat
tle of Antietam. Coming to Pittsburg in 1864
he entered the business office of The Dis
patci as bookkeeper, abd subsequently

Thomas F. Houston and Josiah King and j
bought the Gazette, tfieh 'a Jienny evening
paper. The tfemrnerctoZ became identified
with the Gazette in 1877. Since that time
Mr. Beed has been at its head as publisher
and editor.
A Sketch of air. Befed'S iif...
Mr. Beed was twice married. His first
wife was Miss Lizzie Bobb, a daughter of
James Bobb, a shoe merchant of this city,
by whom he had one child, Miss Bessie
Beed, who survives him. .Ten years after the
death of his first wife, Mr. Beed, married
Miss Mary Dunlap, a daughter of John
Dunlap. A boy, about 2 years did, is the
issue of this meirriage. He leaves two
brothers, George and Joseph, and a nephew,
Allan Beed, ail of whom are identified with
the deceased gentl praan's newspaper.
Tiro weeks ago .Mr. Beed was as healthy
a man as any in tbe county. On yesterday
two weeks ago be went into. the country
with his brother Joa to try a pair of horses.
He speeded the animals along the road in
tbe teeth of, the keen northerly wind then
blowing, bnt bad no suspicion that
it might be with serious conse
quences iu a veiy short time to come.
On the following, Tuesday. Mr. Beed
remained but a few hours at his office, re
turning home complaining of a chill. This
was the heginning of the end and the chill
developed into an acute attack of griri,
finally terminating in congestion bf the
lungs. Dr. Hal beck and Le Moyne
were in constant attendance and
on Friday deemed the symptoms
so serions as to warrant a consultation with
other physicians. As a result Mr. Seed's
case was pronounced hopeless,, and he and
the family were sb apprised. He was semi
conscious, for several days, but was gen
erally able to recognize those about him. He
seemingly suffered no pain at his last
moments.
Always a Consistent Bepnbfican.
Mr. "tteed was one of the prominent citi
zen! of Western Pennsylvania. He was an
ardent and consistent Republican, and so
cially was respected for his generosity and
kindness of heart He was educated in the
Presbyterian faith and lived and died In
that belief. Mr. Beed was a delegate to
State and national conventions on fregnent
occasions and generally prominent id
party affairs.
Major William M. Hartzell, President
of the Press Club, has called a meeting ot
that organization for 3 o'clock this afternoon
in the Assembly room of the clnbhouse to
take action on the death of Mr. Nelson P.
Beed, who was one of the original members
oftheclnb.
There will be a meeting cf newspaper pub
lishers in The Dispatch office to-morrow
morning at 11 o'clock to lake action on Mr.-
Beed s death.

THE SLEbS TO EC MADE IN FITTSBUEG
Ever since it was definitely settled that
"Alvin Jdslyu" would push bis theater
scheme. through, it has been a matter of con
jecture as to what would be done with the
Grand Central Kink. Manager Harry
Williams, of the Academy bf Music, who
bad contemplated th'e erection there of a
new place bf amusement, came to the con
clusion that he wonld wait until he saw
what success the other new houses had be
fore venturing to make the investment.
Within the past few days, however, nego
tiations have been consummated by which
the rink is to be converted into what will in
the future be known as the "Penh Avenue
Amusement Hall," in which will be oper
ated a patented roller sled, which furnishes
a new and. novel kiud of amusement, after
the fashion of a toboggan slide.
J. W. Bankson, who has followed the
theatrical profession for the last 20 years, is
the inventor of the new device, known as
the Bankson roller sled. It is builtmuch
like th'e 'ordinary sled, except that it is a
longer apparatus, with rubber-tired rollers,
which add smoothness and kill the sound
while the sled is in operation.
Within the next few days a large force of
men will be putrto work getting the build
ine into shape. It will be so remodeled
that the only featnre about it which will re
main is the gallery. The interior will be
painted and decorated and ft slide erected,
130 feet long and 76 feet wide, extending
from the front of the building toward the
rear. The slide will consist of 12 alleys,
separated by a strong scantling to serve as a
guide and prevent accidents.
At the bottom of the slide there will be a
long stretch of level floor, followed by a
gentle rise to break the speed of the Bleds.
The latter are so constructed as to carry
three people, and it is claimed for them that
a ride on one of them gives more pleasure,
although eiberienced with less danger, than
either a "switch-back, "old-fashioned circu
lar roller coaster, roller skates or tbe
modern toboggan slide.
Arrangements bave been made to have
the sleds manufactured in this city. Mur
phy & Diebold will turn ont the woodwork,
and another local firm will furnish the
trimmings.
It is expected to open up tbe Amusement
Hall on Saturday, April 11. Pittsburg
will have the distinction of making the first
test of the new sport, although contracts
bave been closed to have a slide erected at
several summer resorts. Piper & Co. bave
been engaged to erect one at Coney Island.
Wainwright & Smith will pnt up one at
Boekaway Beaeh and Augnstine Beck will
build one at South Beach', Staten Island.
Mr. Bankson will remain in Pittsburg
and have full control of the coneern here.
He will open on April 10, giving a compli
mentary exhibition and reception to the
members of the local press and their fami
lies, and will open the house to the public
the, following day. Mr. Bankson is well
known in theatrical circles. He appeared
at the Grand Opera Honse two seasons ago
with the "Main Line" Company.

THE CASH GROCER,
WILL SAYE YOU MOHEY.
"Excuse us while we smile. One of the most
amusing examples of brilliant journalism bas
just abpeired in the editorial columns of the
East End Journal. Tne editor in his wrath ap
ptars so extremely comical we cannot refrain
from publishing It in other papers Where it will
have a chance to be seen.
Here we give it to you word for word:
. "Our business men are continually growling
about East Enders baying taelr goods in the
city, and it is about time it waa stopped; at any
rate until the growlers iearn to practice what
tbey preach.
"Une. man says ha buys meat at themartet
for 12Jic 'hat costs 16 to 18c at East End butch
ers. Another says groceries are one-third
cheaper.
"Dollars to cents one-fourth of our business
men who are perpetually grumbling at the con
dition of affairs buy their groceries from
MARSHELL, THE CASH GROCEK. (will
save you monev). They don't believe in pat
ronizing home Industries, but when It comes to
purchasing goods la their particular line, tbey
are In for it every time. This is a poor policy
to pursue, and if found out, damages a man's
business to a considerable extent in addition
to heaping on bim the contempt of the business
men who Delieve In tbe policy of patronizing
home Industries."
We consider the above an elegant little ad
vertisement and extend onr hearty thanks to
our friend of the Journal. Any 'man who will
come to tbe city and buy hi3 meat for 12c per
Iiound when be can stay at home and get it for
S to 18 cents per pound, deserves to have the
contempt of every East End batcher "heaped"
Ob him and the man who will buy his groceries
from MARSHELL merely because he can buy
one-third cheaper the Ingratitude of such a
man takes our breath away. We can think of
nothing big enough to "heap" on bim.

bill send for our large weekly price list and
