ESKsa THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, SUNDAY. APK1L 19, - 189L W ' 10 IDE MONARCH Fifty Slreels in the Cily Left Half Done by the Slaughter of the Improvement laws. MAST 4JXFINISBED CONTRACTS Will Tarnish the Department of Poulic Works With All It Can Do During the Summer. XO HOPE FOR THOSE WHO HATE PAID UP. Kctriy i BCliea iz& a Eilf to Bo Piid If Cintire Ltps'.i'.icn TiDs. Ihe effect of the Snprcme Court decision on Pittsburg's street laws was even more far-reaching than mist people supposed. The itatemeut thr.t there were over f 1,000, C00 worth of contracts lying idle on account of it was furious enough for the average taxpayer to consider, hut it did not express half !.1e unpleasant results that followed, i'ew people outside of those in immediate charge realized the great amount of territory covered by the streets affected aud the conse quently large number of people inconven ienced by their incompleteness. It is esti nated that at least one-third -of the population of the city has ben more ot less iujureti by the sudden stop put to these half-finished con tracts, leaving streets almost impassable with mud and otherwise blockaded with stone, gravel, sand and other paving ma terials. In some sections ot the city vehicles have been compelled to make wide detours in search of solid roadbeds, and in some in stances pedestrians have been subject to a similar disadvantage. The long rainy season of the past few weeks has added materially to the discomfort of torn-up thoroughfares. SI ud in All Its Glory. JIud has reigned supreme all through the winter and spring months on a large propor tion of the East End streets, where much of the improvement was being done. Other portions of the citr have had their share of. the trouble. People have complained, but were calmly informed that there was no re- lief until the Legislature acted on the new street bills. Chief Bigelow says he is ready to get work started ou these uncompleted streets, only awaiting the action of the Legislature giving him authority to proceed. Some of the contracts were nearly finished when work was stopped last fall, and only a short time will be required to complete them. Others were only half done, while on some of them operations had just begun. As a result, a large portion of the summer season will be required to put the finishing touches on all -the work. "With all the unfinished business on hand and numerous new fields of labor in addition the Department of Pub lic "Works will have its hands full this sum mer. Heretofore Chief Bigelow has positively refused to make public the list of streets affected by the Supreme Court decision, on the ground that the attorneys in charge of tbccew .street bills advised him not to give them out. Yesterday he consented to fur nish the list. Just What the City Is In Fo.. A recapitulation of the statement, as furnished by Chief Clerk Pingaman. of the Department of Public Works, shows that in event of tailure to secure curative legisla tion or, if the Supreme Courtdecide; against Filch legislation, the city will have to pay 1,313,653. This is for work done and con tracts that cannot be annulled, and means a stoppage of all work authorized by Councils under the acts of 1887 and 1880. The total is secured from the following figures: Underact of 3657: Amount uncollected from sewers completed f 92,539 58 Amount uncollected from streets com pleted 176,509 14 Amount uncollected from boardwalks completed 4,206 M Under act of 16S9: Amount uncollected from sewers completed 145,711 15 Amount uncollected .from streets com pleted 13,SS3 79 Amount uncollected lroin boardwalks completed 1,434 41 Total completed work $ 544,394 39 Under act of 1SS7: Work done on streets, not completed. .S Work done on sewers, not completed..

Frankitunn, Firth toi Xiinco.n Total Chief Bigelow, when asked whether in event of the failure of curative legislation, those who have paid could not sue the city nnd get their money back and thus statd even with their neighbors who enjpyed the benefits of the improvements, but bad tailed to pay bcfoie the Supreme Court decision, replied: "If that was the case the city would have to pay many millions, instead of a little over a million and a quarter, but fortu nately, if we fail to secure the benefits of curative legislation the money paid belongs to the city. The Supreme Court decided that, in relation to the Penn avenue im provements, some 13 year ago. Unless a man pays his money under protest it is taken lor granted that he is satisfied with the justice of his assessment and makes the payment voluntarily.and no matter what may subsequently happen he can't get a cent of it hack. We had a funny case of this kind a short time ago. A well-known property owner paid Assistant City Attorney House a large sum assessed upon his property for paving. No protest was entered by him at the time, but when the late Supreme Court decision came and turned things upside down he thought it might be a gpod idea to protest, so he came in and protested and even went so far as to trv to make Sir. House believe that he had protested before he paid the money. If he had, nnd we failed to get curative legislation, he could have gotten his money hack. But Mr. Uouse happens to have an excellent memory and he knew that no protest had been made previously, hence, co matter what happens, that man's money is paid and it ought to he, for his property is north double the money it was before." SCORES OF STREETS PAVED. Long List of Thoroughfares Where Im provements Have Been. Blado and Only Tartly Paid for by the Property Owners Waiting for the Curative Act. Under the acts of 1887 and 1889 a great number of streets were graded, paved and curbed. Assessments were made on these and collected in whole or part. The uncol lected assessments run back over tiro years, and by the decision oi the Supreme Court cannot be collected, since the two acts under which they were made have been declared unconstitutional. The city officials hope to be able to collect this money by the aid of curative legislation. - . . . The list of street improvements completed under the old acts, together with the total amounts unpaid on each, is given below. As will be seen by a perusal of the list quite a number of these have been, entirely paid for, especially those under the 1837 act, and in a number of others nothing has been paid, the collection ol money being stopped by the decision.

Leading Italians Seeking a Plan to Obtain a Tract of Land, To FORM AN AGKICULT0RAL COLOHY. The Present Inhabitants of the Lanes and Alleys Wonld Seize The CHANCE TO SETTLE IN TEE COUNTRY The leading Italians of Allegheny county are about to formulate a scheme whereby land for colonizing purposes, may be ob tained on similar terms to those which Hew York capitalists bold out to Italian colonists in other sections of the State. The idea, which has been under consideration for some time, is to give Italians an opportunity for engaging in agricultural pursuits by placing land at their disposal on easy terms, and so founding a colony. The majority of Italians who find their way to this country are from rural districts, and they are, therelore, better adapted to' a rural life than to the pursuits open to them in large Cities. It is claimed for them, by those most familiar with them, namely, their own countrymen of better parts and of more education, that the Italian is seen to disadvantage here because by reason of his lack of capital he is unable to branch out for himself, and is driven to dig ditches and sewers, wort of a character which nearest approaches the tillage of the soil, his famil iar labor. Some Advantages of tho Scheme The advocates of the colonization scheme have objects in view besides the material advancement of their countrymen. Tbey claim that with better houses, purer air, healthy occupation and the incentive to work which would follow on the opportunity of laboring for their own particular profit, the mor.il tone of the Italian colonists would be raised and they would qualify more rapidly than they now do for the privileges ot citizenship. It is stated that a Tery large proportion of the fruit raised on the Pacific slope is the re sult of the Italian labor, and it is held that if Pennsylvania Italians were afforded the opportunity of raising crops' and fruits the cities would be soon weeded of these peo ple, who would flock to the country worn as a more congenial occupation. The only drawback to the scheme is the lack of capital. There are not enough wealthy Italians in this district to undertake the formation of a company for, the purpose of advancing the project, ana the only plan open to tbose who are interested in its execu tion is to submit a statement to such men as they think would likely undertake such a matter. This is now in course of formula tion, and the leading Italians hope soon to be abie to test the sentiment of capitalists in respect to it. Sure the Flan Will Be a Go. Editor Canuti, of I Nottri Tempi, is one of those who has given this matter much thought. He said last night that Italians would jump at any chance of engaging in work with which they were so familiar as raising crops, etc., and pointed to the suc cess which attended the efforts of New York ers to settle Italians in the eastern "part of this State. If Pittsburg capitalists were to purchase land and sell it on easy terms to Italians ns the New York company did, there would be a general exo dus of the people from the cily, and the land would soon be occupied. The New York company offers lots at Pleasant Ridge, in Monroe county, on terms pay able over a number of years. A section of the land is laid ou: as a town, and single lots 25 feet wide and 100 feet deep, can he had from 25 upward, on payment o' $2 down and 50 cents a week. Other terms give the purchaser the right to 500 north of land, payable in 20:years, without' ij&tacest, on the same terms". Mr. Canuti 'thinks that if similar terms could be offered Italians inthis section, the people would eagerly seize the chance ot acquiring land. HELD HIM FOE TEIAL. Holmes Anderson Will Be Tried for the Mnrder of dnnsanlis. Coroner Heber McDowell yesterday held Holmes Anderson for the murder of Jnn Gunsaulis. No testimony was taken yester day. The evidence was reviewed by the Coroner and then given to the jury. Ander son, who has been stolidly indifferent throughout the inquest, broke down for a moment when the verdict was announced. He turned pale, then red, and the next in stant his face had the same settled expres sion it has always worn. The verdict was as follows: W. J. Gnnsaulis. aged about 22 years, was found dead on the public highway near the falls in West Liberty borough, on Monday, April 6, about 6 o'clock A. 31., with a gunshot wound in the right side of the head. From the evidence the jury find that be had been on bis way from tho residence of Henry Smith, in said borough, and had been attacked at said fall', murdered and robbed, and wc find that one Holmes An derson was In said neighborhood on Sunday night, April 5, 1831. From the evidence the jury believes that the said Holmes Anderson was present and committed said murder and robbery. AH0THEH WARM APRIL DAY. A Kaln That Was Promised Tarns Vp Farther North. "While the temperature yesterday was not so high as on Friday, it was more difficult to stand, being more moist and fitting more closely, and the slight shower in the after noon intensified the "demnition moistness," making startcbed linen and people pant. A rain storm which started in Utah was billed for this section, but was deflected and went up to Lake Ontario, so last night's sbowcrs were cut out, and as this prediction failed, the abatement promised may be delusive also. The ground in the country is getting quite hard notwithstanding a heavy shower on "Wednesday night, hut this was to be ex pected, as it has been reduced to paste the greater part of the time during two years past and' bakes quickly. Our climate is very uncertain, and though the mercury may mount to near 90 in April, it is no guarantee that snow will not fly in May. PLANS PREPARED.

ATrampTTho Really Wished to Pay Back Borrowed Money. Isaac Moser.is the nam a young and rather intelligent Hebrew gave the night Captain of the Allegheny station house when he applied for a place to sleep "Wednes day evening.

VIEWS OF A WOMAN On Some of the Leading Labor Ques tions of the Dav. BEFORE TOE NEW TRAIN MASTERS A New Company to Continue the Iron City Bridge Works. GEIST OP A DAI FK0M LABOE CIRCLES The regular meeting of the Central Trades Council was of peculiar interest last even ing. The second of the series of o,pen meet ings was held, and considerable interest was manifested in the proceedings. There was a slight misunderstanding regarding the arrangements for the evening, and instead of one, two speakers wcre,prcsent. A committee had been ap pointed for the purpose of securing someone to address the Council and Miss Sara Rutan, M. D., was engaged. Through a mistake the impression got abroad that Miss Rutan would not be present and "William J. Brennen was secured. Miss Rutan, how ever, put in an appearance last night and Mr. Brennen gave way tajier. Her address was mostly made up of Henry George ideas, with a sprinkling of women's rights thrown in. Somewhat Severe on Capitalists. Her subject was "What is the Over shadowing Curse?" and sb treated it in an able and interesting manner, although she at times crew rather radical against capital ist". Referring to the question of legislation, MissRutau said that within the last 25 years there has not been one important bill passed in the interest of labor, with the exception of one reducing the hours in some Stated. "And this," said she, "Is only" a farce. The worst enemy the workingmeu have are them selves, and 'the only way they will ever get what belongs to them will be to become a parly bv themselves or affiliate with the Farmers' Alliance, which would give them a balance of power." Taking up the constitutional phrase that "all men arc born' free and equal," Miss Rutan said: "Free, while white slavery is widening its cruel clutches and corporations are robbing the hearthsof their fires?. Freel Not while 50,000,000 of people are living on property owned by 5.000,000; not while the poor drunkard is hustled away to a work house or jail and the rich drunkard is taken to his fashionable cluo, where his head is sponged off. An Amendment She Would Make. "I would have the Constitution read that 'all human beinzs are, or should be, born with an equal, opportunity to live and labor on the earth and enjoy the fruits of their labor themselves.' This takes in the women, wrio must be released from a de pendency upon man as a breadwinner, and given the' right to earn her own living." Miss Rutan took up the short hour ques tion incidentally, but dwelt ou it to very smalt extent. After the routine business had been dis posed of, a committee from the "Interna tional "Working People's Association" was given a hearing, and they asked that some action be taken on the prospective hanging of the three men convicted of the killing of Michael Quinn. Upon legal advice, bow ever, it was decided not to take auy action in the matter. It was stated that a meeting will be held in Lafayette Hall soon to pro test against the execution of those men.

With the weather as warm as the past week, one would not look for a snow storm, but we have been through the blizzard. Our Mail Orders came piling in on us so thick and fast they overwhelmed us. We hired every ma"n who came along, worked at night and did all in our power to get the orders out promptly. .Our position may be better real ized when we say that during the past week we engaged 15 new men in our endeavor to be prompt. There is hot another grocer in the State whose entire force equals this increase, With this large force at work we expect to get in shape again this week and hope our friends will par don the delay which we could not possibly avoid. As we are always greatly rushed from the ioth to the 20th of the month, owing to the time of the general monthly pay, it would be a great favor to us if as many of our friends as possible would get their orders in the first or last of the month. We could then handle their orders more promptly. But if you can't, we want your order when it suits you best. 24 Diamond Square Is proving a diamond of the first water and large -magnitude.
