There are a good many people who are
glad to-day has come and that yesterday is
relegated to the past. Tor it was a day full
of movies incidents and maiiy changes and
of tears and prayers, of teams and small
children, and narrow doors and heavy fur
niture, and of much hustling. As a matter
of general information it may bementioned,
casually, that it was Moving Day.
Aoout the average number of citizens
don't want to be reminded of the fact. They
know all about it. The good man of the
house remembers rising in the small hours
in a bad humor to haul around the lurni
ture in preparedness for the wagons that
didn't arrive for four hours after they had
been promised. The housewife has not
yet forgotten her horror at finding
little Bertie, alter an hour's search,
rolled up in the bedding, nearly suffocated,
or the mental strain consequent on keeping
one eye on the hired girl's efforts to pact a
silver set and a stewpan in a flower basket
while the other followed her husband's
wrestling with the bijouterie.
Kany Changes Down Town.
Nobody cares to Le reminded of the anx
ious glaLces cast heavenward while the
household effects lay helplessly on the
wagons at the mercy of Jupiter Pluvius,
who to his credit be it said behaved very
decently, and kept closed his floodgates dur
ing the better half of the day. Merchants
and traders who changed offices and ware-
bouses had a busy time. A good many
changes occurred in the downtown portion
of the city, and a list of the chief removals
will be found below.
Changes of residences were pretty general
among the poorer classes in the First ward.
On Second avenue the furniture of one
family reposed during the afternoon on the
sidewalk in charge of the children while the
parents were hunting round for rooms.
Down on Ferry street is a double four-stoj-y
building, formerly the old "Continental
House," but now given over to the Italian
element. It gives refuge to about 300
people, but though already crowded, room
was found within for 30 or 40 more from the
lower end of Fourth avenue.
Carriers renort that not so much moving
was done this year as last, but the number
of ans seen traveling in ever; direction during
the aav would indicate that the number of
restless people was about the same.
lousiness House Removals.
Some of the prominent removals follow:
The Westinghouse building has the following
new tenants: The Eew York and Cleveland
Gas Coal Company; the feterlmg Steel Com
pany; VV. J. Italncr, and Dr. T. C. Christy, of
l'enn avenue.

Changes in tho Old Dispatch Building.
Restaurateur John Newell, under the terms
of agreement made for the purchase of the old
Dispatch building, expected to have secured
possession of the property on the 10th of last
month. lie was not, however, satisfied with
the title, and, as he said j esterday, the amount
of money involved was much too large to take
any chances.
Mr. Newell then turned the deed over to tho
Fidelity Title and Trust Company for examina
tion, and certain guarantees demanded from
the sellers of the property by A. SI. Brown,
iq., acting for the purchaser, having been
arranged, tne agreement was signed yesterday
and the sale completed. The purchase money
was 190,000. Thus Mr.Newell is now the abso
lute ouner of the property, and mil begin at
once to nt up the entire building tor a first
class restaurant. He begau moving ont of the
structure he has so long occupied about a week
ago. A great deal of the dining room fixtures
had been taken ont up to Tuesday night, but
early yesterdav morning wort began In earnest,
and by night there was not a stick of furniture
or partition to be seen on the first floor. Mr.
Jewell will open his restaurant May L and thus
every trace of the occupation of No. 99 Fifth
avenue by Tun Dibpatcii disappears.
Many families took up temporary quarters In
the hotel, and somo of the hostelrles get out
"Moving Day" menus, notabl) the St. Charles,
which had a special menu, with the title page
adorned by a Dispatch cut of a team and
wagon load of furniture.

him a year ago and who lives on Twentieth
street, Southside, was in a bad fix last night.
He had arranged with a real estate agent to se
cure him a bouse on the bill by the 1st of April.
He did not think it worth while to look at the
Louse before moving, and yesterday packed up
his hxtures and started for his new residence.
When he arrived he could not find the house,
and returning to the old home found that new
truants had moved In No other place was
mailable, and despite the efforts of his friends
tn help he and his family and his goods and
chattels were on the sidewalk at a late hour
last night.

thority on Road Law A Brief Sketch
of Ills Brilliant Career.
A. M. "Watson, one of' the oldest lawyers
at the Allegheny County Bar, died at bis
home in Bellevue, yesterday afternoon, from
a complication of diseases. The remote
cause ot his death was the grip, which he
contracted last winter, and from which he
never recovered. The end n as not unexpected,
as Dr. Joseph N. Dickson, his brother-in-law,
said a few dajs ago that he could not live
much longer. Mr. Watson was confined to his
bed since last November.
His age was 6$ vcars.ind he leaves a wife and
seven children. J. D. Watson, his oldest son,

Moore and Stephen H. Geycr for schoolmates.
To please his father he studied for the minis
try ai d preached for six months, when ho took
to tho law and was admitted to the bar at the
age of 27. He practiced In Allegheny
county for 41 years. and was one
of the best known of the local
lawyers. Ho was an acknowledged Authority

of damage suits against railroads, manufact
urers and steamboat owners. His first great
case was to compel the Smlihbeld Street

Mr. Watson was always a river chamuion and
was influential In having the Davis Island dam
built in spite or the vigorous opposition of the
Coal Excnance.
He was one of the founders ot the Republican
party, and was one of tl e few men who early
discerned the ability of General Grant. In
county conventions he introduced resolutions
indorsing Stanton, who was hi' personal friend,
and mentioned Grant fnr the Presidency. He
was a life-long Republican and prominent in
politics.
Mr. Watson comes from one ot the oldest
families in this section. His father. James
Watson, was amone tho first settlers, and he
lived for years on a farm out the Perrysville
road, where Mr. Watson was born. He mar
ried a sister of Drs. John and Joseph N. Dick
son. Mr. Watson was an exceedingly Kind
hearted and generous man. He was fond of
young men and took a great interest in their
weltare. His familiar figure, 6 feet 4 inches in
lenctn, will be mi'sed on Diamond street,
where he could frequently be seen during the
summer sitting on his office steps entertaining
a crowd of young fellows with a good storv.
Fifteen years ago he was worth at least $1,000.
000, but during the panic lie lost heavily
through the failure of others. Verilv a greit
man is gone, and there are many who will
mourn him.

MISCELLANEOUS INDUSTRIAL ITEHS
The labor leaders ot Scottdale are greatly
encouraged over the success of their confer
ence with the Executive Council of the
Federation of Labor, and the backing they
received from the latter. Asjstated exclu
sively in yesterday's Dispatch, the light
from now on in the coke regions will be for
eight hours, and the intention is to direct
the entire power of the federation and
Knights of Labor against', the operators in
that district. y
President Eae has gone to the headquar
ters of the 1C of Ii. for the purpose of solicit
ing financial aid. If he succeeds, it is alto
gether probable that the greatest efforts of
both organizations will be in the Connells
ville region instead of other fields. The
fight will be one to the death, as defeat
would mean disaster to organized labor in
that region.
No little excitement was created last night
by the announcement of the arrest of sev
eral prominent local labor leaders. The
charges of riot, assault and battery, con
spiracy, Intimidation, etc., were made by
Superintendent J. S. Schoonmaker, of the

men taken being Chairman James Keegau,
of the Mine Workers' Wage Committee;
George Egerj James Crow, a member of the

of the strikers' committee.

order. Ihe hearing will take place at Union
town next Saturday.
A tremendous mass meeting was held yester
day afternoon at Dawson, htnkers gathered
there from miles around, and there was a great
number of citizens present. Addresses were
made by the leaders. At the same time an
other large mass meeting was being held at
Dunbar. Tbis latter meeting was addressed
by Master Workman Wise and Messrs. Dies
man and Corrigan Wife said laughingly to
the crowd: '-The Uniontown jail is not largo
enough to bold us all." He ued this exnres
sion in referring to the legal action tan en by
the operators.
More Workmen Ordered Out.
While at Dunbar. Wise ordered the employes
of the Hill Farm and Parish mines out on
strike. There were about 200 men employed at
these plants. Several weeks ago the firm was
granted the privilege of resuming at the old
rate of wages, but yesterday they posted up a
copy of the new Frick sliding scale with the
notice attached that they would henceforth
operate their works under the conditions
therein mentioned. The miners who had
gone back under these falso pretensions
at once held a meeting, and rejected tliei -proposition.
It is stated at labor headquarters
that the men will be out on strike solidly this
morning
Late reports last night were to the effect that
operations have been partially resumed at the
Whitney plant of the Hostetter Company. A
number of Italians about ten have gone to

ing on briskly at the Lelth, Morewood. Ade
laide, Mutual, Jlmtown and Leisenrlng Nos 2

the McCInre Company, say there was a fair
rim at the (Joalbrook plant to-day. This plant
is heavily guarded.
Another Injunction Issued.
Representatives of the Southwest Coal and
Coke Company at Morewood came to Greens
burg yesterday and petitioned the court for a
preliminary injunction against 30 of the More
wood rioters. The bill sets forth among other
things that these persons are believed to be the
leaders of the crowds and advisers and pro
moters of the proceedings that took placfe at
theirworks last Monday. Theyalso swear that
many person came from a distance and
figured in the riots. Judge Doty this afternoon
granted the preliminary injunction restraining
them from entcrine on the property of tbe
said coke company and from assembling upon
the property, or committing any acts of vio
lence against the employes or officers of the
company. Ihe papers were given Into the
hands of Sheriff Clawson, and they will be

mation against 25 of the rioters there.

WITH THE 2ATLE0ADS.
Glass Men Ask for Better Rates on Re
flectors and Street Lamp Globes.
A snb-committee of the Pittsburg Freight
Committee met yesterday to consider the
classification of reflectors and street lamp
globes. At present no car rate is allowed for
reflectors, and in less than car lots they take
double first-class rates. Shippers ask to send
reflectors and street lamp globes in mixed cars.
The matter was taken up at tbe request
of T. G. Evans & Co., and freight agents gen
erally agree that the demand Is just. Division
Freight Agont Galleber. of the Baltimore and
Ohio, said nothing had been done, but they
wonld report to tho PittBburgommittee. The
indications are that a favorable recommenda
tion will be made to the Classification Com
mittee. The passenger agents bavo made a 83 round
trip rate for the Jr. O. IT. A. M. meetine at
Cleveland in June. A rate of a fare and one
third fora radius of 75 miles will be offered to
those who will attend the May festival. Mr.
Clark thinks that tbe present chilly weather
isasnre indication that the summer will be
warm, and he expects a good excursion busi
ness In the freight departments the agents are
still looking for the expected boom in the iron
trade when the reduced rates went into effect.
They have not lost all hope, but are waiting
patiently. Mr. Campbell, of the Chicago and
Alton, consoles himself with tbe argument that
business at this time last year was very dull,
but about tbe time the bojs wanted their vaca
tions they were too busy to go anvwhere. He
thinks the same thing will happen this
summer.
CASG0 OF SOUTHERN IBON.
Large Consignment of tho Sheffield Product
Arrived Yesterday.
The "Iron Age" brought a cargo of Southern
Iron into this port yesterday. Tho cargo con
sisted of four barges and it came direct from
Sheffield, Ala. The same boat left three
barzes at Wheeling on the way np the river.

ing concern, which has been almost unable to
buy either high or low grado Northern Iron,

dition of 40 to GO to their force of employes,
and said they had a complement sufficient to
see their way clear regarding orders. The
strikers stayed away from the shop, and
cUimed that tbeir people were as firm as at
any time since the strive began, and even more
determined to fight tbe matter out.
GOT ANOTHER REDUCTION.
The Quarterly Adjustment ot tho Home
stead Steel Scale BllleU Robbing Close
to the Base of tho Scale The Lowest
"Wages of n Tear.
President Weihe, of th Amalgamated
Association, held a conference yesterday
with the officials of Carnegie, Phipps & Co.
for the purpose of making an adjustment of
the Homestead steel scale.
The settlement was reached on a basis of
$25 SO a ton for steel billets, which is within
CO cents of the base, which gives tbe men a
reduction of 5 per cent in wages as compared
with what they aro now paid. The adjustment
yesterday was for the purpose of determining
what wages the employes in the converting,
blooming, 23-lnch, cogging beam and plate mills
are to receive tor the next three months. 'It
has no reference to the men who are paid by
the day, but applies only to tbe tonnage hands.
During the term just closed the pay of the
workers was based on billots at S27 a ton, which
was a reduction over the previous quarter,wncn
the average selling price was 29 73. Tbe base
of the sliding scale, which has been in effect
since July.lbK), is steel billets at 25 a ton. Ibis
is the lowest figure at which they can be put on
the market with profit. Quite a number of
sales were made early in tue present year at
"rock bottom" prices, bnt within tho past fow
weeks the market has been stiffening up some.
While the men are thoroughly satisfied with
the scale t.iny are faring much worse
now than they did at this time last
year. For the first quarter the aver
age price of billets was 31; for tho second
128 85; for tbe third, $29 75, and for the quarter,
ending with December 31, it was $27. The out
look for the next three months Is brighter and
tbe men hope for better wages during the sum
mer months.
President Weihe received word from Joilet,
where the difhculty exists over the annual
settlement of the scale there. The works aro
still idle, the men having been unable to reach
an amicable adjustment of the scale.

TIME-TO CALL A HALT.
Opinions of Pitlsbnrcerson tbe Pros
pect of Trouble With Italy.
INCLINED TO LAUGH AT THE SCARE.
Prime Minister Kndini Spoken of in Un
complimentary Language.
SENATOR SHERMAN NOT FEAKPDIi
The talk of war with Italy develops some
interesting opinions on the questions of
immigration and a navy. Like Orator
Puff) who had two voices, one for peace, the
other for conflict, it was the sound of tbe
tocsin that was heard in the land yesterday.
The Italians who have been making
fiery speeches about the New Orleans
affair are a little fearful now at
the serious aspect of the situation.
Dr. Nardyz says Rudini is a fool, and he
blames the wild talk of his countrymen as
being to a large extent responsible for the
result. "They have started the fire," he
said, "and now they are trying to put it out
by throwing on water by the bucketful."
Order Italians Out of tho Country.
General Passenger Agent A. E. Clark, of
the Like Erie road, remarked that the New
Orleans lynching was an outrage and no
law-abiding citizen could approve of it. Ho
hoped, however, that tba present excitement
Would be kept up long enough to lead Presi
dent Harrison to order every subject of King
Humbert out ot the country inside of 30 days.
Ho thought it would be a good riddance and
tbe people would be thankful.
Harry Ularu. of tbe Central Hotel, took
another view of tho question. He thinks a war
with Italy would force Congress to pass a law
making all foreigners who intend to live here
take the ath of allegiance a soon as they ar
rive instead of nutting them on probation for
five years.. He claims Italians and others
should bear the burdens of citizenship since
they are accorded all privileges granted to
American subjects. In events like the New
Orleans lynching and tho threatened rupture
tbe Government would know where these peo-
file stood and could deal with them under the
aws of the States. Such an enactment, he
holds, would be a good thing for the country
and stop future international imbroglios of
this character.
War TVonld Cement the Sections.
William Witherow, of the Duquesne, laughs
at the possibility of a war. but he thinks it
would cement all sections of the country, and
would be beneficial to America.
J. A. Hall, of tbe Rock Island road, is not one
who dlscouu;s the American navy, and he says
in the event of a fight some of tbe croakers
would find the Government in fair shape to
wage war on sea as well as land. He says it
would be almost impossible for a naval force to
attack Kew Orleans, and seaports like New
York, Philadelphia and Baltimore could only
be reached by running a terrific gauntlet
through narrow channels. Boston and Charles
ton are exposed, but he thinks Uncle Sam has
enough ships to protect these cities.
James Sloan, a prominent Iawyor of Gretns
burg, said: T tblnk It is all bluster on tbe
part of Italy,' and the United States having
been trampled on so much in late ) ears by for
eign powers without resenting it, tbe Italians
feel safe in badgering us at least. It is about
time to call a halt on this sort ofUhintr, and I
think every American feels that this is about
as much as we care to stand without an
apology, but then our navy is woefully weak,
and 1 think that is what makes foreigners so
full of fight.
What a Navy Looks Like.
"I never realized so much the force of a navy
as I did last summer at Victoria. I happened
to be there when an English squadron was
lying in the harbor. There were fire vessels,
headed by the latest and most improved war
ship, the Warsplte. The Admiral In charge
was very kind, and he took me over the monster
and showed the workings of the guns in detail.
It occurred to me then that such a vessel wis
calculated to do any amount of damage along
the seashores, and tbe coast towns would be at
its mercy. Hut I don't look for any trouble
with Ital."
Percy F. Smith thinks tbe Italian Govern
ment has made an ass of itself.
Tho Italian colony in tbis city were pleased
with the action of the Italian Government in
respect to tbe New Orleans affair. They claim
that King Humbert only recalled his Minister
at Washington when a reasonable time bad
been allowed the Fe Icral Government for
acting if it proposed any action with respect
to punishing the rioters and those responsible
for tbe deaths of the men who were killed.
Italians Don't Expect War.
This is tbe view of the situation wbieh
obtains among toe Americanized lta'lans as
well as those whb are but a short time here.
Tbey think it perfectly proper that tbe Italian
Government should demand satisfaction for
the death at tbe hands of a riotous mob of men
whom it had sent over here, ana they say that
had Geruians or Englishmen been similarly
treated no such surprise as is evinced in
this case, and no such lethargy as is shown by
the Federal Government.would have followed.
Generally the Italians scout any idea
of war as being altogether improbable and
impolitic. Neither will any reprisals be at
tempted on ofUcial'.as it has been hinted nould
ensue. L'Eco d'ltalia, a daily New Yurk
Italian organ, in its issue of Tuesday has no
reference to Minister Fava's recall. It quotes
from V Italia, a paper published in Milan, to
the effect that the bulk of the New Orleans
Italians, so far from being assassins and ma
rl osi, are men seeking to support their families
by honest toil. Tbe few among them who are
bad and desperate are not in greater propor
tion than is found in any community.
H'KISLEY LAUGHS.
Ko Fear of Serious Trouble With, the
Italian Government. -,
Major William McKinley passed through tbe
city last evening bound for Washington. The
Major said that the talk of nar with Italy was
all nonsense. The fact that the Italian Gov
ernment had left a representative in charge of
the ofilre at Washington showed that there was
no intention to declare hostilities. Minister
Fava, be thought, was recalled because tbe
Italians felt that tbe United States was not
doing its duty in punishinc the lynchers as
promptly as they would like to see it done. He
remarked that tho United States bad a few
ships, and it would not be an easy job in tbe
event of a war for a naval power to make much
headway along the coast. Tbe Major is in the
ring fur the Ohio Governorship.
SHEBKAN AND THE ITALIANS.
The Senator Does Not Think There Will
Bo Any Trouble.
Senator John Sherman passed through tbe
city yesterday on his way home. He expressed
the opinion that there was no prospect at all of
ar with Italy. His impression was that tbe
trouble had arisen from tbe fact that Baron
Fava bad probably acted too hastily.
Even if war should be declared, he said, it
would not amount to much, as the United
States Navy vtas now in an excellent condition,
and there certainly was no danger on land.
The Senator said that he thought the McKinley
tariff bill had proved Itself a success, and that
tho Major could have the nomination for
Govcrnur if he anted it.
Many Italians Arriving.
Pittsburg seems to be favored by Italians.
Sixty-tno newcomers, among them a few
women, arrived on Tuesday and were met by
friends. Twelve more came in yesterday; ail
of them to stay.

MET, MARRIED AHD PARTED.
William Dunn Didn't Want a Widow With
Six Children.
About three months ago Mrs. Albert Doerr, a
widow, met William Dunn, and within a few
hours they were married. According to the
statement of Mrs. Joseph Lang, of No. 2839
Larklns alley, a sister ot the widow, Dunn sup
posed his bride to be worth some money, but on
hearing she was not and had six children, he
deserted her. Several attempts at reconcilia
tion have been made, but Mrs. Dunn finally de
cided to sue her husband, and be is now in jail
awaiting a hearing before Alderman Gripp on
a charge of desertion.
ROMANCE OF THE .GRIP.
A Young and Well-Educated German Dies
at the Poor Tarm.
There died yesterday from the grip, at the
Poor Farm, a young German about whom
there is something of a romantic story. Paul
Wolf, 19 years old, came to this country about
two years ago, and after drifting for a time
reached Pittsburg, bomething like seven
months since be was employed by Mrs. Rose
McHugh, who keeps a boarding house at No.
30 Third avenue, as an all-around boy. She
became very much attached to him and when
be fell sick had him sent to Mercy Hospital.
Upon being discharged from there he returned
to Mrs. McHugh.
The lattcr's son. learning that the boy was
suffering from consumption, wrote to his
parents in Germany and told him that if they
would take him home bis life could bo saved.
They wanted to know how much money it
would cost, and while the correspondence was
In progress Paul crow so mucb worso that he
was sent to the Poor Farm. There be con
tracted the grip. While dull in many respects
he had exceptional musical talents and a fine
general education. His parents are evidently
well-to-do. Ho will be buried by his friends
here and his parents notified. Mr. McHugh
says that he believes the boy did not want to
go to Germany, as he had always said how well
pleaded he was with his home. Mrs. McHugh
nursed him until she became sick and is now
confined to her bed. She has not been tol J of
his death, nor even of the fact that he bad been
removed from the house.
CLOSING UP THE BUSINESS.
Seven of tho Allegheny Committees Mot
Last Night and Died.
The first of the death tbroes of Allegheny as
a third-class city were apparent last night.
Seven committees met and died. They were
the committees on police, gas, parks, health,
library, surveys and wharves and landings. All
was as quiet as tbe eve of a funeral. Tbe only
business transacted was tho receiving of reports
and the approval of bills and the pay rolls for
last month. In tbe Health Committee a voto
or thanks was tendered to retiring Health
Officer Bradloy.
To-night the committees on streets and sew
ers, water, fire, city property, printing, roads
and markets Hill meet and then draw on a
shroud.
FORESTALLED A STRIKE.
A Coal Company Near Akron Shuts Its Men
Out of Its Mines.
'fTBCIAI. TSLKORJLM TO TUS DIRrATCTT.l
Akrox, April 1 For some time past the
Card Coal Company has been having difficulty
with the men working Its mines Just north of
Wadsworth. The miners were not satisfied,
and it was expected by tho company that a
strike would be declared by them in a few days.
Yesterday, therefore, the company ordered
their men about 200 in number to take their
tools from the mine and quit work. Tbe com
pany say the men cannot return to work until
all differences have been adjusted.
M'KdLEY AND CAMPBELL,
Mr. Crouse Says They Will Be tho Nominees
for Governor in Ohio.
Ex-Congressman George W. Crouse, of
Akron, President of the Anltman-Miller Reap
ing Company, registered at the Seventh Avenue
Hotel last evening. Mr. Crouso said that
McKinley wonld be tho next Republican nomi
nee for Governor in Ohio, and that Campbell
would be renominated by the Democrats. He
thinks Campbell is an honest man and in at
tempting to pnrify his party he was beaten by
the tough element. Mr. Crouse states that the
business outlook is good.

A HIGH DEATH RATE
Caused by the Grip and the Diseases
That Are Allied With It.
LAST MONTH BROKE THE BECOED.
There Are So Signs Apparent of a Let Up in
the Epidemic
SOME OP TE0SB WHO AKB SUFFERING
Six hundred and eighty-eight deaths in
Pittsburg during the month of March.
This beats tbe record, as never before in the
history of this city have so many deaths
been chronicled.
In June of the year 1888 there was an ab
normally high death rate. It was then that
death had for its victims the babies. The
sconrge of cholera infantum swept the city,
and the little white hearses were not suf
ficient in number to carry to their graves
the bodies of the innocents.
jQBnt w;th the possible exception of Chi
cago during the present epidemic, and
Southern cities during tbe yellow fever
scourge, there has not been for many years
such a death rate in proportion to papula
tion as that of the past month in Pittsburg.
No Diminution of Deaths.
That there is no apparent diminution in
the number of deaths from the grip and its
kindred diseases is shown by the report of
the Bureau of Health issued for yesterday.
It showed eight deaths from meningitis. Five
burial permits were Issued for deaths from
pneumonia, three from bronchitis and ono from
the grip. The large number of funerals
continued to tax the powers of tbe nndertaaers
to fill orders, and tbe liverymen, or at least
somo of them, have taken advantage of the
extra demand for horses ana the increased
work tbe animals and their drivers aro com
pelled to do to put up tbe rates of carriage
hire.
Over in Allegheny tho number of deaths has
also shonn a rapid increase, as was evidenced
by tbe fact that GO certificates for the present
week bad been issued, which is equal to the en
tire number of deaths for last week. The
flcures for the month of March show 258
deaths, as acainst 190 for the corresponding
week of 1S80. The greater number
of these cases are directly ascribed to the grip,
or its allied diseases. The reports from other
sectlonB of the county do not show anv let up.
and, in fact, none is expected until there is a
change in tho weather "a lifting of the clouds
and murky atmosphere." as a physician re
marked yesterday. "A few warm days and
then the peoele will get over tbe scar.-. The
excitement and fear is doing much toward pre
venting people from getting well.-'
People Were Afraid to Move.
It was apparent yesterday to somo of tbe
older residents of Pittsburg that there was less
moving than for several years. Many orders to
carmen were countermanded through sheer
necessity. There were many so sick that to
take them from their comfortable homes
would have meant death. Then tho risk of
going into unoccupied houses with its evil re
sults deterred another class, who decided to
hold back for brighter weather.
Alderman Ilrann. of Allegheny, who has been
confined to his home for a week, was ont yes
terday for the first time. Alderman McKenna
lias no doubt passed tbe danger line, but one
of his friends said yesterday that it would be
somo time before be conld venture out. Mark
Donley, the Coroner's clerk, has recovered and
is at his desk.
H. S. A. Stewart, the banker, is recovering,
while Max Schamherg. the Austrian Consul, is
abnur. bnt is quite sick. Dr. Shannon, of
Locust street, Allegheny, is confined to his bed
with pneumonia, superinduced by tbe grip.
Paul Revelrie, of the Mount Washington In
cline, has gore to bed with the grip.
