THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH. SUNDAY. APRIL 5. 1891 3 MEXICO UNFRIENDLY Outside of the Government Officials the People Have Little Love for Americans. GOOD EESDLTS OF EECIPROCITY. Mr. llcKean Eegrets TYindrim Eesigned, and Mr. Pattison Thinks Xo Changes "VTill Follow. THE WAR SCARE DIDN'T HURT NEWTOEK A Little GcisJp Abort rrnit, Biilrcifr, tsd Variety cf Other Ectjeeta. F. A. de Marquiez, a Mexican glass buyer, who has been at the DuqueBne for the last week, went to New York last even ing. While here Mr. Marquiez bought six .arloads of glass, principally tableware, to be shipped to Mexico. He says rittsburg is the greatest glass center in the world, and that the ruanulacturcrs iu the city treated him very kindly. "You Americans must not forget," he sjnl. "that the better class of Mexicans are a highly civilized people, and they eat off china platters, like citizens of other nations. I am a South American, but I have lived in Mexico for years, and am now thoroughly Mexican in my ideas. 1 am sorry that the two countries could not come to an amicable agreement about reciprocal trade relations. I must say frinklv that outside of the Gov ernment officials the feeling in Mexico is not any 100 friendly to the United States; not on account of any trouble iu the past, though ome hatred may be lurk'ng in their breasts as a result of the war, but mainly because the Amerie-in are severe and inde pendent in trading. They make no effort to please our people, and we prefer, of course, to do business with the Enclish, French and Germans, who are patient and billing to trust us. I wish to correct an erroneous impression that it is dangerous to travel iu Mexico. This is not true. American"! are as veil protected there as in their own rountrx-. The lower classes like tLe pet.r.s and Indirns are ignorant and rather dangerous but all strangers have to d.-1 to keep awav from them. The Mexi cans are hot-tempered and tLty are good fighters. "Iu Mexico the Government makes it a point to see that men are well-paid. Xobody works in that ouutry for less than he is worth. 1 h s is don? for the purpose of taxation, i ich is bised on the yearly stipend. In tb s war the Goiernmeut finds out what everv clerk, bookkeeper or other employe is i a u. If the officials tinuk the amount is not in keeping with the posiiion they put up the aces a peg ortwo, and the employer :jut pay it. It would certainly be benefi- il to the Vmted States and Mexico il they could ariec on trade relations. Each e untrr affords mutual and natural markets. ai.o. there is no reason whv they should not reap the benefits rather than permit profits to be gobbled by foreign nations. the COTJLDX'I UNDERSTAND HKL A Court Interpreter Tl ho Failed to Make Ills Meaning Clear. If the heterogeneity of Allegheny f county's population continue to grow it will soon be found necessary to establish a bureau of interpretation iu order to transact the general ius.1". of lif- Once a man who could "sp cccen Deutsch" and render it in almost any kind of English was con sidered good enough to.act as court inter preter, but to-day something like the gift of tongues once showered on the day of Pente cost is necessary to equip an interpreter,and it seems tnat every nation, kindred tribe and tongue is crowding here and complicat ing the situation more and more from day to day. Yesterday the court got stuck on a woman, who it was subsequently learned was dazed by the situation, it being her first appearance as a witness As she did not ap pear to comprehend what was asked of her. Interpreter Soffel was directed to put him self into communication with ber. At first Mr. Soffel tried German, and the woman's mild hazel orbs dilated with astonishment, hut she made no answer. He then tried Trench, and they opened wider, but still without result. Mr. Soffel finally fell upon a Swedish dialect fce picked up somewhere and tried it. Up to this time the woman had evidently been trying to determine whether the pro ceedings were business or whether she was being made a fool of, but Swedish was too much for her, and turning appealingly and with a voice almost choked with iodigna t r.u and amazement, she addressed Judg; Lt.mg in a Milesian accent, saying: "In deed, Your Honor, I don't know the meaning o a single word this heathen says." The examination then fell back into the vcnacular and the woman proved quite an intelligent witness. NOT BRYANT'S BROTHER. A Prominent English Merchant Who Ke bombles the Great Poet. "Coming out of the Yellowstone Park last summer," said a PitUburgcr yesterday, "I met a mau who closely resembled the poet, William Cullen Brant If I had not known that Bryant was dead I would have taken an oath it was he. He wore a jauntv straw hat with a blue ribbon band around it that reminded one of a sailor who was off on a lark or to see his best girl. We rode to gether in the same Pullman car to St. Paul, nud in the course ot a conversation I re marked that he closely resembled Bryant, and I asked frankly if he was a brother. " 'No,' he replied, 'I am an Englishman and never saw Mr. Bryant, but wherever I go s-imebody is sure to speak to me of mv iiseness to the great poet. I can't write poetry, but I wish I could. I am a tailor. Mv uame is Nicoll.' "It was the English merchant who has established numerous branch houses in America, one being located in Pittsburg. The old man has retired and his son is in cnarge of the stores. He had been in Pitts burg a number of times and was lamiliar with the city." NO CHANGES EXPECTED. Mr Wind rim Resided Uecause Ills Bnsl licsb Wab Neglected. Inspector Joseph N. Pattison, of the Gov ernment building, went to Philadelphia last evening to s.pend Sunday with his family. Mr. Pattison is very intimate with Super vising Architect Windrim.who has resigned to become Chief of Public Works in the Quaker City. Mr. Pattison said that Mr. AVindnm did not resign specially to accept tl.c Philadelphia position, for he intended t. quit Uncle Sam anyhow. Mr. Windrim has an extensive business, which has been neglected since he entered the Government service. Colouel Low, the chief draughtsman at Washington, will probably run the depart ment until a successor is chosen. Mr. Pat tison doesn't think that any changes will follow. Postmaster McKean regrets that Mr. Windrim has resigned. He remarked that it would be hard to find a man who would take as much interest iu the position, or could grasp details guicker than Mr. Windrim. He was one ot the hardest work ng men in the Trersury Department. No Lack of Material. There will be no lack of applicants to fill the unexpired term of Alderman Nolan, of the Sixth ward, who died a few days since. , Names announced are M. J. Eafierty, Law rence McCaffrey and Joseph Sleland, with suggestions of many others. Nicland il a Republican. BTILL PUKSTJIHO BOWLES. Two Competitors Said to Have Hade Com plaints About Him. Cleveland and Chicago papers are still pursuing Commercial Agent Bowles, of tha Wabash, with the statement that he is to appear belore the Inter-State Commission charged with offering rebates. It was learned yesterday that the accusations were made by two of his local competitors. One of them complained to the officials of his road, and they reolied that nothing could be done at present, as Jay Gould owned the Wabash and he has most of the roads in the country by the neck. The ir repressible Jay is now in Washington scheduled to make a trip over the Chesa peake and Ohio road, and freight agents say the little jaunt means the purchase of another line. In the past it was considered bad taste for competitors to complain about underhand work of their rivals, but it is apparent the boys arc getting over any scruples they might have had. Iu spite ot the inter State law rate cutting has never ceased, and in some cases a cas'i consideration has been offered to secure traffic Alter all this may be the correct thing. BATHER COLD FOR FBUIT. The Weather Will Hurt the Quality but Not the Quantity. "This kind of weather," remarked T. Barcky last evening, "will have a tendency to knock the home fruit crop skyward. It may not affect the quantity, but it will cer tainly interfere with the quality by making it dry. Frost makes fruit pulpy and absorbs the juice. Many of the trees have commenced to bud, and the sap is running. The cold and snow are not calculated to aid fruition. I hardly know how the weather is in other localities. The Southern fruit crop promises to be good." Mr. Barcky has on exhibition a lot of a new variety of lemons from Florida that are as large as a small cocoanut He states they are a new venture in this country and are excellent for making pies. They are not so good for lemonade. MARKETMEN AND THE GRIP. Comparative Immunity From the Disease or Those Whose Work Is Outdoors. One thing is beginning to be quite notice able in connection with the grip, viz., the comparative immunity of people who are engaged in outdoor avocations. While of the people who stand in the open air at the Diamond Market from dawn to bedtime there can be found some suffering from slight attacks of ordinary cold, there are no pronounced cases of grip. Mr. Beckert states that he does not know of a single case. Mrs. Wilkinson's explana tion is that they cannot afford to be sick, but as hucksters, as a rule, are compara tively well fixed financially, her explana tion does not explain. The sufferers, as a rule,are among those of sedentary occupa tion in-doors. or those whose business calls them frequently from heated office rooms to the street. HOW THE LAWYERS STAND. They Fass Resolutions on the Street Im provement Hatter. The monthly meeting of the Bar Associa tion was held yesterday afternoon. S. A. McClung presided, and William P. Schell, Jr., acted as Secretary. K. H. Douglass, Newton Petrie and A. Leo Weil were elected members, and Cicero Hasbrouck, J. P. Patterson and Hon. C. S. Fetterman were proposed for membership. David S. Mc Cann will be voted for at the next meeting. Harvey Henderson offered the following resolutions, which were adopted: Resolved, That in the Judgment of the Alle gheny Bar Association the lien of the municipal claims and taxes in cities nf the second class should expire at the end of fivo year. ResolTed. That come of this resolution be j sent to the members of the Legislature from ii.i... .......... AUO,UOUjr bUUUt NOBODY SCARED IN HEW xOBK. Sir. Flagler Laugh at the Talk of War With the Italian. J. H. Flagler, former! Manager of the National Tubi Works, arrived in the citv last evening ' attend to some private busi ness. Mr. Flag'er said noDody was badly scared in New Yrk over the Italian affair, and ho thought the newspaper men enjoyed it the most as it gave them something to write about. Mr. Flagler never feared any trouble, and add J that the Americans are not foolish enough to do battle with Italians. Mr. Flagler says business in the Fast is bracing up, and the people are recovering from the late financial stringency. He looks for a boom in the near future. A CHANGE OF METHOD. How Pension Pajmcnts Are to Be Made in the Future. H. H. Bengough, Pension Agent of the Pittsburg district, left lor Washingtou last night to attend to business connected with the office. Mr. Campbell states that the new regula tion by which pension payments will be made by the various agencies so as to dis tribute the $135,000,000 appropriation monthly, instead ot quarterly, as heretofore, is expected to be of service to general busi ness. One district will pay one month and another another, instead of all doing it quarterly, as heretolore. Signs of Improvement. Commercial Agent Scully, of the North ern Pacific road, went East last evening. Mr. Scully says there are signs of trade re viving in the Northwest A good many orders from merchants and manufacturers are coming in. He looks for an early re vival in business. Hates remain the same, with no prospects ot a reduction. THEY CAPTURED THE HOUSE. Rose Hall's Name Once More Figures In the Courts. Olivia B. Mickle, alias Rose Hall, who filled considerable space in court proceed ings some time ago, came to the surface again yesterday through a civil proceeding. Before her trouble Mrs. Mickle had bought from Thomas J. Fenton, of Frewville, N. Y,, the property No. 12 South Diamond street, Allegheny City. It was bought on an article of agreement by which the purchaser engaged to pay $25 a month and in addition one-twelfth of the principal every quarter. In default, the seller was empowered to enter after ten days judgment of ejectment. Yesterday W. S. Nesbit, attorney for Fenton, applied to the Sheriff and empewered with a hab fa asked him to take a locksmith over to the Northside and open the doors so as to put Fentou into possession. Accordingly yesterday afternoon an ex pert attended by a deputy sheriff took the locks off, opened the doors, put a representa tive of Fenton in possession, and fitted up the establishment with a new set of locks and keys. The place is elegantly furnished, and the furniture will be taken care of until claimed by Mrs. Mickle. Last night the house was closed up, and a Sheriff's sale notioe decorated the front door. 1'ald a Tribute o Adam Ammon. Last evening Conncilmen Dablinger, Staufier and Wolfe, of Allegheny Councils, visited the residence of the late Adam Am nion, 58 Sheffield street, and presented to his widow in behalf of Allegheny Councils a handsome engrossed set of resolutions adoDted by that body. The resolutions were engrossed by Eobcrt Langmore. DON'T LIKE THE SITE. Members of the Central Trades Coun cil Express Themselves on the CARKEGIE LIBRARY LOCATION. Cheap Telephones Promised for Local Use in the Near Future. OBJECTION TO THE TAGGART TAX BILL The Central Trades Council had its hands full disposing of all the business that was before it last night. There was a large at tendance, and the routine business was soon disposed of. A lively discussion took place when the following resolution was intro duced: Resolved, T,hat the Central Trades Council extends to tbn City Councils of 1'ittsbnrg, the Library Commission and to Mr. Carnegie its hearty thanks for the manner in which its wishes in regard to the location for the Library were considered. Should they always be as faithful in keeping their pledges, the working men will have no cause to complain. At the same time we condole with Chief Uigelow on the prospect of having such a more magnificent show located near his favorite Zoo. To some the resolution looked like a little piece of sarcasm, but it was explained that Messrs. Carnegie, Scott and others had prom ised to take the interest of the working classes into consideration when selecting the site for the Library. This, it was claimed, they had not done. On the contrary, they had worked in the interest of the owners of cable and electric roads, on which the poor people will be compelled to ride if they wish to derive any benefit from the free institution. The resolution passed unanimously. The resolution asking the ministers of the county to preach sermons on the eigbt-bour question was introduced and passed, as pre dicted in yesterday's Dispatch. The reso lution is as follows: Whereas. The Central Trades Council of Western Pennsylvania feels a deep Interest in the movement to lessen the hours of Iho wealth producers of the world, and especially in the attempt shorclv to be made in this city to secure the enforcement of the eizht-hour day, and believe that the universal adoption of such a boon would tend larcely to decrease the number of unemployed, improre the condition of the workers morally, and greatly increase the happiness of the whole people; therefore, belt Resolved, That in order to enlighten the gen eral public and create a widespread interest in the eight-hour question, this council ex tend a cordial but earnest invitation to the ministers and clergy of Allegheny county to deliver a sermon on the movement between now and May 1. Resolved. That we petition the press of this cltv to give the fullest possible publicity to this request, and would also be pleased tobave the eight-hour question discussed in a fair and impartial manner by all newspapers and others interested In the labor question. Kcsolutions were also passed indorsing the proposed eight-hoar demands of the car penters to be made on May 1, and the strikes of the corkworkers and carriage makers, now in progress. A committee was appointed to arrange for another open meet ing of the council on Saturday evening, April IS. MAKING TALK QUITE CHEAP. Telephones Promised for Local Use That Won't Cost Much. The Bell Telephone Company people may be required to stir their stumps, ere long, and try and get rid of some of the trouble patrons now experienee from proximity to electric light and street car wires, as the new company formed here expects to supply the wants of many ot the present customers of the Central District Company, who only want service for distances within the city, and who can get along without the more elaborate telephone. The company's stock is $25,000, and its members are S. Hamilton, W. H. Denniston, Attor ney J. W. Kinnear and Will C. Hamilton. The device is the Shafer, Moleculnr Telephone, and when the Bell patents expire, in 1893, electrical ap pliances will be no longer a monopoly, so that after that time there is a prospect that not only will talk be cheap, but cheaper than half-cent postage. The molecular telep'ioni has been in use in New York. Boston and the Eastern cities generally for three years past, and the United States Government has adopted it for situatior? where there was much noise and vibratioc to overcome. For this reason it has been used on the New York Elevated Railway. It is only intended to work lor two miles' distance, but this distance covers, with hundreds of business houses, 90 per ent of their wants. A stockholder was asked what rates to patrons would be, but he said he could not say further than they would be so low as to make the telephone a household necessity, and if business justifies extension all the territory in both cities may be covered. He states that the ear trumpet is not a necessity with the molecular tele phone, but it is used nevertheless. THEY WANT HIM AGAIN. Hon. Louis W. Hall to Look After the Tag gartTax Bill Now Pending. Hon. Louis W. Hall, whose able argu ment before the General Judiciary Commit tee of the Senate against the employers' lia bility act is credited with having defeated the measure, has been engaged by the Pitts burg manufacturers to use his influence against the Taggart tax bill, a measure pro viding for a tax upon the capital stock of corporations. Mr. Hall made such powerful present ment of the legal questions involved in the Hines bill that it has never been heard of since, and the manuiacturers here think no better man could be found in the country to look after their interests than he. KNI3HTS IN HARD LTJCK. Local Assemblies Hold Meetings on the Street Corners. The various assemblies connected with D. A. 3, K. ot L., are having a hard time keeping themselves together. The district headquarters were moved last week, but the new building will not be ready for holding meetiugsuntil alter May 1. Iu the meantime, meetings are held on the curbstone, in private houses, and in the various establishments where the men are emploved. It is extremely inconvenient lor the men, but the greater portion of the hard work devolves upon the officers of the assem blies, who look after the financial standing of the members. Postponed It Again. Owing to the absence of District Attorney Johnston from the city, Judge Stowe did not hand down his opinion on the motion for a new trial in the case of the Braddock rioters, convicted of murder in the first de gree. The District Attorney will be home next Thursday, and the matter will be dis posed of on that day. Wanted In Court. Judge Ewing yesterday issued an attach ment for the arrest of George Hoffman, of Braddock, for contempt ot conrt. The at tachment was issued at the request of Willis McCook, Eq., who presented affidavits to show that Hoffman bad disobeyed the in junction issued bv the court against the strikers at the Braddock Wire Works. Just About as Caual. Nothing new developed in Westinghouse affairs yesterday. Mr. Westinghouse was still in town, and it was uncertain whether he would go East this afternoon or remain for another day or two. A Majority Against It With the East End Union of Carpenters that Toted on the eight-hour demands, there is a majority of about 100 against striking. There are saven unions yet to vote, which makes the final result very doubtful. Industrial Notes. Several new vestibule cars are to be put on the Second avenue electric road. The Building Trades Council at their meet lng last night indorsed the scale of wages of the marble cutters. A sfeciai. meeting of the Journeymen Stonecutters' Association will be held to-morrow evening at 25 Federal street, Allegheny. President Weiiie, of the Amalgamated Association, went to East Liverpool yesterday on business connected with the association. Frank L Lononaxer is at the bead of a morement on the Southside to organize the drug clerks on that side of the river for the purpose ot secunngsbdrter hours. Glasshouse boys along Penn avenue have began to strike for Ihe half holiday on Satur days. This is a regular occurrence every time the bateball season approaches. It is estimated that 500 are now out at McCulIy and Hamilton's factories. A combination of carriage manufacturers has been lormed for the purpose of compelling those firms who have signed tho new scale to reconsider their action. An effort will be made to close every shop to-morrow and lock out tho employes. The corkworkers held another large meet ing yesterday and paid out S1.000 In strike bene fits. Ihere was nothing new at the works. The firm claimed to have over 300 men at work, but the strikers committee said the num ber did not exceed 250. CAUSED BY BAD ROADS. Why So 3Iany Borough Governments Aro in Demand Crafton Decidedly In Line With the Rest of Them The Sidewalks and Sewers. The question of bad roads seems likely to promote the crop of boroughs and all their attendant discomforts, until they are as thick in this county as stars in the sky on a clear frosty night, and the remain ing township territory will become insignifi cant. Crafton people have concluded that town ship government is a misfit, and they have decided at least a large maj. rity of them have that their further continuance in swaddling bands will be insufferable. A largely attended meeting was held Friday night, at which George Armstrong presided and P. A. Bonebrake was secretary. C. C. Craft, John Bebman, Jr., the attorney, and George Murphy were appointed a committee to arrange a programme to be discussed at another meeting to be held next Thursday evening. The main trouble is the inability to get the roads in the borough in such shape as to be of use to the people. A considerable portion of the season they are unfordable, and the villagers think they do not get the benefit of the road tax paid by them. But few of them are directly interested in good roads in the township, where much of their road tax is spent and not always wisely spent, either at least, that is the prevailing impression. Then they cannot get board walks by taxa tion, except on such streets as are parts of township roads, and citizens on these streets exercise their own pleasure as to whether they will make them in front of their prop erty, and unless such walks are continuous they are of no use; in fact, breaks only make the situation more aggravating. Sir. Bebman states that Cralton is not beset with the danger that continually con fronts some boroughs. He says the place is aud will be ruled by property holders, and the sans cullottes will not give any trouble, so the appreh nsiou usually felt is lacking in this case. A number of sewers are needed, and these the township will not build, and there is at present no authority to assess tax to build them. DEATH OF DR. H, H. HOFMANN. The Oldest Homeopathic Physician in Pitts burg, and One of the Founders of tho Homeopathic Hospital A Long aiid Successful Career In Medicine. Dr. H. H. Hofmann. the oldest and best- known homeopathic physician of Pittsburjr.-l".16 as well as one of the founders of the Horned pathic Hospital, died last evening, at 6 o'clock, aged 70 years. Dr. Hofmann wis born at Bnetba, near Leipsic, Germany, in 1821, his father being a physican of that town. When ho was 12 years old his father died, leaving a large fam ily in very moderate circumstances. Oi this family six were sons who all became physi cians. Herman, the fourth sou, after com pleting a common school education, entered the gymnasium of St. Thomas, an institu tion corresponding here to a literary col lege. After finishing there he received his medi cal Education at the University of Leipsic, and came to the United States in 1849. Al though he had seen the application of the principles of homeopathy in Leipsic he was not convinced as to its merits. Alter com ing to Pittsburg he was induced to investi gate homeopathy by Dr. Iteichhelni, (the first homeopathic physician West of the Allegheny Mountains. The results ot this school of practice iu treating cholera in 1819 finally convinced him, and he became a firm adherent. Appreciating the need of a homeopathic hospital he, with Dr. M. Cote, now de ceased, and Dr. J. C. Burgher, iu I860, purchased a building, and soon alter the Homeopathic Hospital ot Pittsburg was in corporated. The old building was, after some years, replaced by the present Hue structure. Dr. Hofmann had not for some years been actively engaged in hospital work, but was a consulting member of the obstetrical staff. He was married at Leipsic in 1848 to Miss Mary Erdmann and their children are Eliza, wife of Dr. C. P. Seip; William F., now deceased, of the firm ot Heeren Bros. & Co.; Adella, wife of Otto Heeren, of the same firm, and Charles H., who is a practicing physician. The latter is a member of the Homeopathic Medical Society of Pennsylvania. The funeral of Dr. Hofmann will take place on Tuesday attcrnoon, from the resi dence nf his son-in-law.

The inquest on the Gilkinson murder case will be taken up to-morrow afternoon and will be completed if Detective Murphy can be present. No word has been received from him since Thursday, and it is not known what effect the bad weather has had on his condition. Detective Beltzhoover is back from Jeffersonville, O., without Williams. Jeweler Schmidt has identified the man, but the Judge of the courts there refuses to give him up and there is a chance of a clash between the courts and Governor Campbell, of Ohio. District Attorney Johnston is expected to co there to look after the matter. Additional iuterest is given to the case from the act that Harry Davis has pur chased all the furniture from Fitzsimmons' stronghold. It will be exhibited at his museum, arranged iu the same manner that it was ou the day of the murder. He has also secured a number oi other relics from the scene of the crime. Cremation With Anarchistic Kites. No divine services will be held over the remains of Herr Frieke at Samson's Chapel to-day. The Anarchists will have a cere mony of their own. Telegrams expressing sorrow are coming in from Socialists all overthe country. The column rules of the next number of Herr Host's paper will be turned. Back Again to Mony England. Mrs. Mary Carr, who came from England a few months ago and whose fare was paid to this city by a steamship company, was yesterday iurnished transportation to New York City by the Department of Charities. She will sail' for her old home on Wednesday. LOTE'S LABOR LOST. The Gulf Between Prison and Matri mony Found Too Great, MISFORTUNES 0FANDKEW Ji'TIGHE Fate and Warden Berlin Combine to Stop a Marriage Ceremony. THE L0YJ3R IS EETDRNED TO HIS CELL Misfortune and McTighe were synony mous yesterday with one poor son of Alle gheny. He wanted to get married, but all the fates seemed to have conspired against him. The result is that he will have to re main in jail until to-morrow before he can take a life sentence. The name of the man who rivals Poor Jon athan is Andrew McTighe, a bright young fellow with a ruddy complexion. His fault was that he loved too much and too frequently. For almost two years he wooed pretty Miss Loretta Nicholson, of Allegheny. Everyone who knew the couple supposed they were going to be married, but at last the girl's parents got tired waiting and entered suit. The luckless lover was thrown into the Allegheny lockup. Several days of rest there did not break his spirit, and he was given a hearing before Mayor Wvman. At the trial two other girls turned up, and both claimed Andrew as their "own boy." Put Behind the Bars. In spite of his many sweethearts McTighe was rent to jail to await trial. He would not furnish bail, and a few days of prison fare, together with his parent's entreaties, brought him to the determination to marry Loretta. Yesterday afternoon he reached this determination and word was sent to Miss Nicholson. She at once hastened to Allegheny police headquarters, and, in company with Detective MeDonough, started for the jail. Ou their arrival there the authorities refused to give up the pris oner without a release. The anxious bride elect hurried back and returned with the paper, but alast it was found the release was not made out for the charge on which he was committed. It was then growing late, but the girl started back again, and this time secured her lover's release. Together thev started to the marriage license office, only to find it closed. Then it was the detective's turn to sweat. Big Philip MeDonough did not know what to do. The case could not be settled until the marriage had been performed, and that was impossible before Monday. Back Once More to the Jail. The girl began to err, but the man had to be taken back to jail, and back the pro cession moved, without even a wedding march. Here they were confronted by an other difficulty. Warden Berlin decided that as the man had been released, he could not receive him again without another com mitment. Again the party moved back to Allegheny City Hall, and Mayor Wyinan was not there. The detective did not think it would be proper to keep the man in the lockup after he had been given a blaring, and he certainly did not want to sit in the office and watch him all night The ap pearance of the Mayor, however, settled the difficulty, and a new commitment was made out. McTighe was returned to jail. The warden received him cordially, and the maiden saw her hymeneal dreams and her lover disappear behind the heavy iron bars. Another attempt at matrimony will be made to-morrow. CHIEF BIGELOW IN CONTEMPT Asked to Explain Why He Failed to Abate a Nuisance. In the Quarter Sessions Court yesterday, waa issnea against E. M.Bigelow, ChTef of the Department of Pnblic Works, to show cause why he should not be attached for contempt of court. The rule was issued on motion of J. :S. Ferguson, Esq., counsel for H. B. Hulings. The latter was the prosecutor in the case against Chief Bigslow for commit ting a nuisance in filling np the wharf to make a park. Mr. Bigelow was found guilty, and on September 30, 1890, was sen tenced to pay the costs, a fine of G) cents and abate the nuisance within six months from the date of the sentence. In his petition Mr. Hulings states that the time allowed has elapsed and nothing has been done toward complying with the sentence, the premises remaining in the condition in which they were put by the defendant. In consequence, the court was asked to make an order for a process to bring the defendant into court to show cause why he should not be punished for con tempt The rule w.is issued and next Satur day fixed for a hearing. THREE STBANDFD SOLDIEBS. Salvation Army Women Who Found Cold Comfort In the Windy City. Three broken-down members of the Salva tion Army wandered into the Department of Charities yesterday and wanted transporta tion to Boston. Tney were dressed in dirty calico, but wore flaming poke bonnets. Mrs. Ellen Wilkinson, the leader of the party, was blind. Mrs. Mary Hale and her crippled daughter were the other members of the party. AVhen the second woman was asked what was the matter with her, she said she was not right in her head. They had traveled all over the country, but became stranded in Chicago. They were given transportation East Struck a Conductor. Daniel Hays refused to pay his fare on a Citizens' car, last evening, and was put off at Thirty-ninth street. He followed the car to the stable, aud while Conductor Thomas Grimes was handing over the fars at the window, Hays appeared and struck him twice in the face. He was promptly arrest ed; so was A. E.

Boggs & Buhl, Allegheny, yesterday, were sufficiently long, loud and earnest to impress one with the sincerity of those who gave utterance to their admiration 1 We say essayed to pass, because not one out of twenty could withstand the attractive display to such extent as enabled them to pass by without at least casting one admir ing glance backward 1 The consequence was, all day long some one's eyes were feasting upon an artistic display in its line never surpassed, if, in deed, equaled I Individual Paris dress patterns reigned supreme in one window a tan ground with border in almost solid tangle of yellow but tercups stray blossoms dropped in golden splashes here and there over the plain sur face in careless abandon o! system or order. It catches the eye, and we think it deserves the palm for beauty and artistic effect When lol a design in some uniqee cross stitch forming a broad border of tiuy crosses iu "set" and regular order, overlaid again in massive-looking rosebuds (in shape only, since the colors are different shades of brown) on blue gronnds claims attention, but, like its predecessor, is abandoned as we come upon bright garnet grounds bestrewn with sprays of exquisitely tinted blossoms; beavy silk embroidered conventional de signs, intermingled with sprays of pale blue forget-me-nots a striking contrast on crimson ground. This same tangled bit of embroidered loveliness in turquoise, pink and light tints, on one of the new shades of green, is a combination most effective. Openworked embroidered borders, with gseat feathery sprays of golden-rod barring the color blue, brown and gray 'being the prevailing tones. , In the window opposite we find shimmer ing, satiny grounds.'of lavender, turquoise, blue, black and gold. Lavender ducbesse grounds with white ribbon-tied lover's knot straggling over the shiuing surface a puz zle to find beginning or ending of this strangely meandering design, which, by the way, is to share popularity equal to that of the polka dot, and will be known as the "serpent design." But to return to our window. The cream and black satin dnchesse grounds one might easily imagine redolent with perfume so perfect are the bright spring blossoms portrayed 1 Violets, forget-me-nots, pink clover, golden wheat heads, apple blossoms, buttercups but why under take the almost endless task of enumeration in this case? These are but few designs ot the hundreds in the establishment of Boggs &BubI that might fitly De called textile works of art! The display is for you to enjoy at will.
