by a Riig.
Many sides of city life are shown on the
dockets of Aldermen. Several of these
Magistrates had important cases before them
yesterday, one of them to fix the liability
of street railroads for the safety of passen
gers alighting from cars.
Alderman McNeirney had rather a
peculiar case before him yesterday after
noon. It was a charge of gross and willful
negligence brought against the driTer of a
street car, by a nian on behalf of
his wife. It appears that Sirs. Patrick
O'Donnell boarded a Sharpsburg car at the
cemetery, last Saturday week, accompanied
by a basket in which sue carried her mar
keting. Desiring to alight at a point near
her home, she pulled the bell, and the car
stopped. "With regard to what subsequently
happened there was a connection of testi
mony. Mrs. O'Donnell swore that she had
not time to alight from the ar with her
basket before the car moved on again, caus
ing her to fall. In this statement she was
supported by four bystanders, and her hus
band, who chanced to be waiting for her on
tbe sidewalk.
A Witness With Intuition.
The defendant in the case, J. S. Cook,
swore that some one in the car had culled
out, "All right!" and that he did not more
his car until be had looked behind and saw
all clear. He swore that he had looked be
hind and saw Mrs. O'Donnell, so far from
lying on the street, walking away with
some man. His testimony was supported
by the eyidence of a young man, Morgan
Owens, who seemed to have had an intui
tion that his eridence would be required,
and had all liis statements down to a Tery
line point.
J. S. Ferguson appeared for tbe plaintiff,
3ud Mr. Wilson for the defendant The
legal gentleman held a short but warm dis
cussion before the Alderman regarding the
merits of the case. Mr. "Wilson argued that
it was preposterous to hold his client on a
cnarge of malicious and willful damage on
such evidence, while Mr. Ferguson con
tended that tbe public shonld have some
protection against street car drivers who are
guilty of negligence, and asked that the de
fendant be held for court.
The Alderman reserved his decision until
next Monday. Scott was allowed to go on
bail. The plaintiffs declare their intention
of entering suits for damages against the
the company.
lie Slight Have the Collar.
John Kednian, of Fifty-fourth street,

Robert Campbell. Chief Engineer of the Lucy
Furnaces.

Redman. A collar with Campbell's name on it
was around tbe animal's neck. Redman said
he owned the dog. but if Campbell claimed tbe
collar was bis be was welcome to ir. Campbell
took tbe collai and Redman went away with
tbe dog. but was subsequently charged as
stated and will have a hearing next Thursday.

Mrs. Maigaret Ferguson, of Butler street,
scar Fiftj-fourth street, made an information
yesterday before Alderman JIcNierney against
IL E. Martell for removing his baggage from
her boarding house and trying to evade pay
ment of bis indebtedness.
Martell is alleged to have given an order on
Hubbard & Co. for tbe money, after he himself
bad obtained payment of it. Constable Rodgers
is lookin? lor him.
Mrs. Kate Atkinson was given a hearing
vesterday by Alderman McGarey on a cbarco
of larceny prefeircd by her son-in-law. John
Rossburc, who claimed that she had tiken his
gold ring. At tbe hearing Mrs. Atkinson
claimed to have bonght the ring six years ago
from James McKee and claimed it had never
been out of her pnpsion. Tbe Alderman, on
closely examining it, discovered that it had been
repaired, and Rossbnrg at once stated that it
had been made smaller to bt his finger. After
tome little parley the Alderman told Mrs.
Atkinson to go to the jeweler and get an ab
htract uf the sale lroni lum. She then con
cluded he did not want the ring and settled
the case by giving it up and paying the costs.

charges of assault and battcrv and horse steal
ing. In a spirit of fun he drove Councilman

THINKS CEISP IS AHEAD,
But 3tr. Hopkins Would Rather See Wil
son F.lectcd Speaker.
Ex-Congresman James H. Hopkins, of
Washington, registered at the Mouongabela
House last evening. The ex-Minister to Italy
still watches the political arena, but from a dis
tance. Mr. UoDkins thinks that in the Speaker
ship race Crisp, of Georgia, is in tbe lead,
though McMillen, of Tennessee, is not far be
hind him. Both are good men and either
would be creditable.
"I don't believe," continued Mr. Hopkins,
"that Mills is anv longer a factor in the fight.
He has dropped by tbe wayside, and it is D rob
ably better so. Mills is an impetuous man, and
it is feared by Democrats that be may lose bis
balance and make some bad blunders, which
the party couldn't afford to have happen on
The eve of lSUi Wilson, of West
Virginia, would be a capital man,
and personally 1 would rather see him Speaker
than any of tbe other candidates. It is possible
the Western Staies may combine on Rynutn,
and if they do he can be elected. I am afraid
the Democrats with so large a majority will
become careless, and tbe minority will often
find them wanting. Every man will more or
less feel that he won't be missed in such a
crowd, and here Is where they wttl make a
great mistake. The Democrat need to stick
together and attend to business."

Morris Gallagher, who had a somewhat
eventlul career, died at the City Poor Farm
at 6:10 o'clock yesterday morning. He
was born in Pittsburg 31 years ago,
but spent very littlo of his time here, leading a
rather roving life. Some years ago he became
religiously inclined and joineu tbe Salvation

tremely enthusiastic in the cause. But when
the novelty wore off Gallagher pined for some
thing new. and he soon deserted the ranks.

of the easy-going customs of tbe Mormons.
His own inclinations were augmented by tho
advico of some Mormon acquaintances, and ho

with their church and blossoming ont as a full
fledged advocate of polygamy. But tho scene
was not as bright as it had been pictured.

an early death worked so on his mind that he
became slightly demented.
In this condition he returned to Pittsburg
some weeks a ;o, without money or means of
support. Last Wednesday he applied for help
to the Department of Charities and was sent to
the Poor Farm. Friday evening he left there

arrest by notifying her parents where she was.
Both of tbem can do a little "business" as
sketch artists themselves. Miss Yonng did a

detective gave -her a dollar. She bought the
ticket, she said, so she could get through the
gate at the station, ana refused under any cir
cumstances to leave her companion. She inad

himself in their storv, said he would see them
all right through to their destination.
THE ACCIDENTS OF A DAT.
A Tonng Man Takes an Unfortunate Ride
on the Lake Erie Road.
Every day has Its accidents. A Lako Erie
train cut off a young man's legs and he will
probably die. The other mishaps of yosterday
are nototaserious character. Several persons
had legs broken. This i the list :
Williams John L. Williams, aged 25 years,
of Martin's Ferry, while alighting from a train
on the Pittsburg, McKeesport and Yougbio
cheny railroad at Twenty-fifth street last even
ing, was thrown under the wheels and both legs
were crushed so that they bad to be amputated
below tbe knee. His recovery Is doubtful.
Dawson James Dawson, a driver, was hurt
yesterday by his mules backing tbe wagon
overan embankment on California avenue. Tbe
animals escaped without injury, but a fence
owned by James Woods was knocked down.
MclSTTRE James Mclntyre fell from a
wagon on Penn avenue yesterday, and broke a
leg.
Upton Theodore Upton had his hand
crushed In raising a heavyweight at Oliver's
Wood's Run mill.
Levins J. D. Levins, a conductor on a
shifter at Caraezie's Twenty-ninth street mill.
was struck by the engine and knocked against
a car. His nose was broken, face cut, and it is
feared the skull was cracked.
Ross Charles Ross, an S-year-old hoy. was
stealing a ride on a wagon on Webster avenue.
He fell off and broke a leg.
CORRT Aucust Corry was knocked down by
a wagon on Spring Garden avenuo lastevening,
and was badly injured.
TBADE SCHOOLS FOB BOYS.
Mr. Lupton Says They Are Needed to Pre
vent the Growth of Crime.
W. B. Lupton went to New York last even
ing. He is much interested in tbe subject of
trade schools, and wonld like to see one estab
lished in Pittsburg. Mr. Lupton said: "1 be
lieve in protecting and helping the American
boy. I claim that as labor orgaulzations are
conducted now, they do not give enough boys
an opportunity to learn trades. These unions
are mainly responsible for the increase in
crime, and I will show you how.
"According to tbe report of Superintendent
Warner, of tbe workhouse. S.h00 persons served
terms there last year. Of these over 3,000 were
unapprenticed. Tbe boys bad been deprived
of a chance to learn how to make a living, and
naturally drifted into crime. Wouldn't it be
better to make mechanics out of them than to
burden the county with heavy taxes to support
tbem behind bars? It would reduce expenses
and would be doing a great work for
humanity. Some boys are going through
a regular course in crime. Their freshman
year is spent in tbe Pennsylvania Reform
School, tbe sophomore at tbe workhouse, tbe
junior in the Huntingdon Reformatory, and
tho senior in tbe penitentiary. I recently told
a prominent member of tbe American Me
chanics that it would be well to drop tbe squab
ble over the Bible in the public school, or plac
ing the flag over tbe schoulhouses, and see to it
that boys are taught trades to keep them from
becoming criminals."
Mr. Lupton is engaged in tbe roofing busi
ness. He says as a result of tbe threatened
eight-hour strike a great many booses to bo
built this summer will not be put up.
FIGHTING ABOUT A HOLE.
Two Gangs of lien Spend All Day In a
Futile Warfare.
The old story of two gangs of men working
against each other, one gang trying to fill up a
hole and the other trying to make it deeper,
was told of a happening on the Brownsville
turnpike yesterday. According to a member of
the Birmingham and Brownsville Turnpike
Company, which is tbe owner of the road, the
Manufacturers' Gas Company has had a con
tract with the turnpike company to furnish 40
gaslamps placed along the turnpike, with a cer
tain pressure of gas for a certain period of
time. It is said the gas supply of tbe gas com
pany became short, and it became necessary to
equalize matters with Its other customers. It
was decided to put in anew guage and reduce
tbo pressure.
Yesterday a gang of laborers was sent to
place the new guage, and as the old one could
not be reached without digging down tbe roan
considerable it was not long until the Turnpike
Company was made aware of the matter.
Another gang of men was sent to the scene by
tbe Turnpike Company, who threw tbe dirt
bark in the hole as fast as the hrst gang would
throw it out. This was kept up all day, and
the turnpike has taken action through their
attorneys, Hayes and Noble, to have an injunc
tion issued against the Gas Company.

Philadelphia.
P. J. Murphy, the detective, went to Phila
delphia last evening to get Daniel S.Dever.who

account of his arrest appeared in The Dis
patch yesterday. Fitzsiinmons. who shot Gil
kinson. is held as tbe principal.

Carpenters Discuss tho Proposition
for Immediate Action On
THE 8-HODR WOKK-DAT BATTLE.
Jos. D. Weeks Talks About the Iron and
Steel Trade Outlook.
GKIST OF A DAI FKOM LABOR C1KCLES
The building trades are in a more unset
tled condition this morning than they have
been at any time since the stonemasons'
trouble broke out. According to the reso
lution passed at the meeting of the Building
Trades Council last Saturday night, every
trade identified with that organization Ought
to quit work this morning and remain idle
until the whole eight-hour question is set
tled. If they fail to carry out the spirit of
this resolution, the master builders will con
sider tbat they have gained a point through
the weakness of their employes.
The Carpenters' Council met last night,
and was in session until nearly 1 o'clock
this morning. A committee of five mem
bers of tbe stonemasons was given a hear
ing before the council. The committee re
hearsed the Providence mission trouble and
their subsequent lockout by the firms.
They requested that the Carpenters' Council
take some action looking toward a' settle
ment of the difficulty, and were particularly
anxious that all the other trades be ordered
off to compel the bosses to give in.
To Bo Officially Notified To-Day.
The' committee was given to understand
that whatever action was taken would be
officially communicated to it early this morn
ing. The committee then retired and tbe car
penters spent the next three hours discussing
the situation, coupled with tbe question as to
tbe feasibility ot beginning tbe eight-hour
battle to-day.
A. 31. Swartz was seen after the adjourn
ment, but said there would not be anything
given out until to-day. Mr. Snjder said: "If
we tell our story now, it will hurt our cause."
This last remark was taken as an indication
tbat something might yet drop unless the stone
masons are able to effect a settlement. Tbe
general impression, however, last night was
tbat tbe carpenters would not undertake the
eisrht-hour movement until May L the time
originally set for it.
There was also a meeting of tbe hodcarriers
last night, aud they talked of sending a repre
sentative to the Carpenters' Council, but this
was not done. With no definite information at
hand, all sorts of surmises were indulged in
last night, but it is not believed that tbe eight
hour tight will be precipitated before May 1.
Tho employers are not idling away their
time. They are making their organization
stronger day by day, andare putting themselves
in a position to meet the demands of their
men.
The master stonemasons held a secret meet
ugin Allegheny, but no action was given out.
Action of Planing Mill Owners.
The Allegheny County Planing Mill Associa
tion held an interesting meeting yesterday
afternoon, and the demaud.of the workmen for
eight hours was discussed at some length.
About S3 firms are represented. They have de
cided to stand as a unit, and not accede to the
demands. The following resolutions were
unanimously auoptea:
"Resolved, That while the workmen are on
strike we will not furnish material of any
description whatever to auy party or parties
not recognized as legitimate contractors previ
ous to May 1. 189L nor to any contractor who
violates any of the rules and regulations ot the
Master Builders' Association.
"Resolved, Tbat any member of the Alle
gheny County Planing Mill Association found
guilty of violating any ot the rules or regula
tions governing the same will be subject toa
line of 8500, after being given a fair bearing
before the board of the association.
"Resolved, That each member of the associa
tion be required to deposit at once, witb the
Fidelity Title and Trust Company, as trustee of
the fund, the sum of 8500, to be held as security
for payment of all fines which may be charged
against said member under the rules and regu
lations, the same to bo receipted for by said
Fidelity Title and Trust Company as trustee
for tbat fund."
The Builders' Exchange did not hold a meet
ing, but one will be held very shortly to con
sider the eight-hour question. Tboy report
tbat tbelr membership is nearly TOO now. There
is not a contractor in either city that is not a
member, and there are over 100 applica
tions of material men pending. Fines
will be placed upon this latter class
ot members for furnishing material to any but
bona fide contractors, not members of tbe Ex
change. This is intended 'to defeat any effort
made by the men to organize a co-operative
concern, as the men did in Wheeling two years
ago.
Tbe master bricklayers and master plumbers
also met vesterday to strengtnen their position
in reference to tbe eight-hour question.
VIRGINIA IS BOOHING.
Joseph D. Weeks Home From Several
Weeks' Visit Through the South.
Joseph D. Weeks is home from Virginia,
where ho has been for several weeks looking
after his interests in the steel industry in tbat
State. When seen by a reporter yesterday Mr.
Weeks was in a happy frame of mind. "While
the iron and steel industry is not going to be as
good this year as it was last it is improving
rapidly and will be in a fairly good condition in
a few weeks. Prices will not bo as good this
season."
Mr. Weeks is interested in a land company
in Virginia, and also in tbe Adams Direct Steel
Process Company of the State. In fact he is at
the head of tbe latter concern and he says it is
a big success. Two licenses have already
been disposed of and four others are pendine.
There are several new iron and steel plants be
mc established in this State, new ore mines are
being opened up and the people of tbo State
are thriving generally.
SEVERAL GOOD PAPEES BEAD.
The Engineers' Society Hears Some Inter
esting Statements.
The Society of Engineers of Western Penn
sylvania held its usual monthly meeting last
evening, Colonel T. P. Roberts presiding. W.
H. Barnes read a paper recommending more
uniformity in designs for machinery. A dis
cussion followed, after which Mr. Steinmetz,
who represents tbe interests in a new stove,
was introduced.
Mr. Steiumetz read a description of his new
stove, and made such extraordinary claims for
it as to bring forth some searching questions
regarding it from members. His principal
claim is tbat it develops a greater amount of
heat witb less coal than any grate or stove now
in use. Further, he says tbat there is no waste
from clinkers, everything in it being com
pletely consumed. Rot alone cast iron, bat
wrought iron, can be melted in it, and tbat
without at all affecting tbo sheet iron lining
of the pot. Thbse latter statements of Mr.
Steinmetz provoked some laughter.
Confen In; on the Scales.
A conference of tho Wage Committees of the
Flint Glass Manufacturers aud the Workers'
Association was held yesterday, at which the
pressed ware scale was taken up and disposed
of. To-day the iron mold scale will be handled.

away from her home in Beaver, was arrested
on Monday night as she alighted from the
train at tho Pittsburg and Lake Erie depot,
and sent to the Thirty-sixth ward station. Her

yesterday morning.
EVICTEDJY FORCE.
A Dead Weight Opposed to the Power of a
Constable How a Family at Coraopolis
Was Ejected From Its leased Premises
Lots of Fan for a Crowd.
The even tenor ol the Coraopolitans was
broken yesterday by an eviction tbat stirred
the borough to its innermost depths. A
family named Lawrence occupied a house
belonging to John Watson on a lease which, if
reported correctly, was a queer document. It
is said to have provided for an occupancy for a
year or longer if both parties were agreed,
which of courso wonld be no leaso at all after
tbe expiration of a year if either party saw fit
to be dissatisfied.
Well, according to the story. Mr. Watson
wanted possession, and the Lawrence family re
fused to vacate. Constable Backofen, of Se
wlckley, came over tbe river to evict the Law
rence family. They reiused to go, and it is said
Mrs. Lawrence gave some one a whack over tbe
skull tbat cooled his ardor. The neigh
bors of both families refused to
interfere, and, their neutrality being
deeply set, the constable was obliged
to go back to Sewlckley for reinforcements. He
got four men. and tbey came back and made
another assault, which was suocessfnl, and the
Lawrences were ejected in tho presence of a
large number of people.
Mr. Lawrence only offered a passive resist
ance, bat when he lay down in the bouse the
evicting party found him a limp and heavy
load to carry. As the weather was warm there
is no fear expressed that the engagement may
end in pneumonia.

ALEXANDEE MAYBERRI'S DEATH
Surrounded by Mystery, and ths Indica
tions Point to Foal Flay.
IN THE E1YEB WITH HIS AKHS TIED
Victor Kaufmann, the 19-year-old boy
who told Inspector McKelvey, Monday
night, that he was a detective of consider
able ability, came to the iront again
yesterday by discovering the body of
a man, supposed to have been murdered,
floating in the Monongahela river.
The last seen of yonng Kaufmann Monday
night was at a Hungarian wedding at No.
1016 Carson street, where the Inspector had
sent him with Special Officer Kelly, telling
him in a joking way to look out for murders.
Nothing more was heard of him until abont
9 o'clock yesterday morning when word was
sent to the Coroner's office that a "floater"
had been found in the river near the Key
stone mills. He had discovered his murder.
The Tonng Detective on Guard.
John McKiniey went out at once, and the
first person he saw was the boy detective
standing gnard over tbe .body on a cinder
bank beside the river. The boy said he bad
been walking ont along the river abont 8:30
o'clock, when he discovered the corpse in the
water. Word was sent to the Fourteenth ward
police station and several mlllmeu helped
Kaufmann pull the body out.
The body was afterward identified as that of
Alexander C. Mayberry of No. 445 Ella street.
It was badly decomposed and bad evidently
been in tbe water several weeks. There is
little doubt that Mayberry was murdered. A
piece of rope was found lastened to his right
wrist, while marks on the other arm showed
that tbe other end of the rope had been tied to
it, and to all appearances bis arms had been
bound tightly behind his back. Tbe rope bad
weakened in tbe water and was broken iu pull
ing tbe body out.
Mr. Mayoerry was employed in Riter & Con
lev's boner works. On Jannary 15 he disap
peared, and his family and friends have been
unable to find auy trace of him since. Pre
vious to his disappearance be was injured by
falling iron in the mill, which is supposed to
nave slightly affected his mental powers. The
murder theory is made more strong by tbe
lact that he carried a gold watch and
some money when he left home, and
these were not on the corpse.
Put the Police at Sea.
The police are at sea on tbe matter, though
they are making every effort to assist the
Coroner in locating the guilty parties. There
was notbing about his clothes to, throw any
light upon tne mystery of his death.
After seeing tbe body on its way to the
morgue tbe boy "spotter"" went before tbe
Coroner and made a sworn statement of wbat
be knew of the case. He tben inde baste to
find Inspector McKelvey to present another
proof of nis efficiency.
. The dead uian was a member of Springfield
Lodge, Royal Arcanum, a committee of which
viewed and identified tbe remains at the
Morgue last nignt. The lodge will make ar
rangements lor the funeral, i Mrs. Mayberry
aUo identified tbe body yesterday atlernoon.
The deceased was 50 years of age.
Inspector McAleese does not believe it was a
murder. He says it would have been possible
tor Mayberry to tie himself in the manner
described and it would be just tbe thing an in
sane man would be likely to do.
Tne Inquest will be held at 11 o'clock this
morning.
HABD UP FOB FUNDS.
Efforts to Be Made to Raise Cash to Keep a
Hospital Afloat.
A special meeting of the Board of Managers

WANT TO KNOW THE WORST.
Complaints Made That All the Improve
ments for Which the City la Liable Do
Not Appear In Chief Blgelow's Report
A Bet That Was No Cinch.
Many people have noted and commented
on the fact that in the statement of city in
debtedness on account of street and sewer
Improvements published in Sunday's DIS
PATCH, on behalf of which curative legis
lation is arked, that the claim of Evan Jones,
contractor some JfflO.OOO for constructing the
Thirty-third street sewer, does not appear
Controller Morrow, when asked for an ex
planation, said be could not give it, and added
that it was as much of a liability as any one of
tbe list published.
As it is a matter of nearly a quarter ot a
million, and some people suggested tbat tbere
may be others of the same kind, further in
quiry was made and a citizen round who keeps
his eye on municipal affairs. He said it was on
account of a flght between some city officials.
Advice, like castor oil, is very easy to give,
but not so easy at all times to take, bat the
people who mast foot bills for street and sewer
Improvements want a!l the light they can get,
anu they would doubtless advise tbat a clean
breast be made of tbe whole business, even if
It may add to the labor ot grinding some axes.
They want to know tho worst, as it is easier to
get over a whole shock than it is to recover
from it piecemeal.
Chief Bigelow was asked why the Thirty
third street sewer did not appear in his report,
and at onco he offered to bet 150 tbat it was
there. The Chief would hare lost tbe bet.

PEOPLE WHO HELP THE W0BK ALONG
The Humane Society will take up the
Morganza Beform School matter. Th-s re
port of Ellwood O. 'Wageuhurt, published
recently in The Dispatch, telling of cruel
treatment to tbe inmates of the school, led
the members of the society to believe the
indications serious enough for them to take
a hand in the matter and find ont for them
selves tbe trnth or falsity of the accusations.
At the regular meeting of the society yes
terday afternoon the question was discussed
for some time, and a resolntion was ottered
to tbe effect that the agents of the society be
Instructed to assist Mr. Wagenburt in collect
ing evidence on tbe case, and that Secretary
Davidson make the necessary arrangements at
as early a date as possible. The resolution was
unanimously adopted.
It isnnderstood tbat Mr. Wagenhnrt pro
poses to make a still more thorough investiga
tion of tbe management of the school, and tbe
experience of the Humane agents will be ot
great assistance to him.
Joseph John Doyle, a 13-year-old boy now in
tbe bands of the-Humane Society, will be
placed in tbe St. Joseph's Orphan Asylum un
til a borne can be secured for him. He went
to the society's rooms yesterday and stated tbat
bis mother had driven him from home. His
mother lives at Crafton and not long ago tbe
attention of the Humane Society was called to
tbe boy, who. it is said, was not receiving the
best of treatment. The boy's fatber died a few
years ago in New Castle. and
his mother was afterward married
to Edward Gormley. Thev went to
Crafton and attention was attracted to the boy
by tbe stories told to neighbors of Mrs. Gorm
ley. She said her boy had killed several peo
ple, was very viclons and needed much watch
ing. The Humane Society took bold of tbe
case anj, it is said, learned tbat Mrs. Gormley
was not the proper person to bave charge of
the boy. Sometimes sbe would dress the boy
in tbe finest possible clothes and send him to
school; at other times sbe would try and see
how ragged and shabby sbe could make him
appear and then drive bim from home. The
woman was warned to take better care of the
boy, but yesterday be turned up at the Humane
Society's office as stated. Efforts will be made
to secure him a better home and Secretary
Davidson was Instructed to place him in St.
Joseph's Orphan Asylum.
