The fact that the miners have decided not to strike for eight hours is not tube taken as an indication that they will not -ask for more wages. Secretary Boyd, of Dis trict 5, was in the city yesterday securing a ball for a meeting to-day. J. Morton Hall said yesterday that nothing would be done here until the matter is settled in Ohio. While the inter-Mate agreement has been broken, the usual differential is likely to be maintained, and batever agreement is reached in Ohio will indicate the resnlt in Pennsylvania, except that the operators hero are likely to confer with their employes individually. Miners Make a Nine-Hour Proposition. The Ohio operators were in cession last even ing considering the proposition of the Execu tive Board of the United Miners to work J. year for 70 cents in the Hocking Valley with nine hours for a da. Tne attendance was large and the operators determined. They refused to accept the proposition, and appointed a com mittee, which n.et the officers of the United Miueis in consultation and had a long talk. The operators said they could not afford to make an arrangement of that kind without knowing something of what is 10 be done in the Pittsburg and ether competing districts. The operators remained over and will con sult to-day with the miners of the State who have been called in convention to ratify the ac tion of the Executive Board. In case the operators fail to come to terms Patrick MoBrjde, tke Secretary, states that the miners will not touch a proposal such as the operators intimated they woula make, Mr. McBryde states he has been receiving telegrams all day from miners' organizations in different parts of the country, making inquiry as to whether they shall go out on Monday next. The miners seem to be under the impression yet there is to bo a strike. SANGUINE OF VICTORY. The Carpenters Trepared for a Straggle They Expect There "Will Bo No Lack or Building Material Contractors Who Are Likely to Give In. Agent Irwin, of the carpenters, has care fully sized up the situation, and has come to the conclusion that, with the exceptions of a few, the ranks of his craft will be a unit on the question this evening, and will lay down their tools according to the programme. By actual calculation he estimates that the num ber of men who will be involved in the strike will he 3,000. This is somewhat surprising in view of the fact that 5.000 was the number sup posed to be in it from the start. But this num ber is in strict accordance with Section 133 of the constitution ot the United Brotherhood, which reads that "when any strike or lockout, nrany number of strikes, involves more than S.O0O members, no other stride shall be sus tained r financially aided at the same time by the authority and under the jurisdiction of the United Brotherhood." Of the 3.000 who will be directly involved the carpenter leaders are of the opinion that from 1,000 to 1.300 will continue at work. It is not tne intention to cause a strike in shops where the bosses arc willing to grant the demands and go ahead with their work. Ex-Agent buartz is authority for the statement that in such cases tbero will be no cessation of work. Making It Easy for Contractors. It is not the intention to give the contractors any more trouble than is absolutely necessary to win theflgnt, Mr. Swartz has received re ports indicating that the estimates of Mr. Irwin are not overdrawn. Nearly all of the contractors who are not members ol the Builders' Exchange will be the first to grant the demands of the men, and it is understood this will be done without any hesi tancy or fear of what the resnlt will be. It is now stated that the number of outside agents wiuiarem tne city oiienng material toauwno want to continue work has grown fourfold. Master Workman Dempaey, of 1). A. 3, K. of L., whose organization is now on more friendly terms with the building: trades than it has been in the past, said jtsterday that he knew of great quantities of lumber being offered here at les rates than the lumber dealers are offer ing it here. Philadelphia to Tarnish Supplies. "1 have a friend in the business in Philadel phia," he said. "He is in the city now, and he told me be could ship lumber here by express almost as cheap as the dealers here are selling it, and he will do it. If the carpenters can bold out two weeks they can win the tight. That will be just about long enough to prove to the con tractors that they cannot prevent material from col ing in if an) one has the price to pav for it." Mr. Dempsey referred to the fact that some of the firms arc in such a position that they will be compelled to grant the eight hours. Meutionlug a prominent Southside contractor, he aiu: "Iberc is a man that may be a mem ber of the Builders' Exchange, but be has 22 house on band on which he will lose hunareds of dollars a day if they are not completed at the specified 'time. He will grant the de mands." There was an impression created yesterday that the failure ot the miners to strike for eight hours would weaken the carpenters. None of the carpenters' officials took any ac count of this, but seemed all the more dter inined to light when the matter was referred to. BOSSES ALSO CONFIDENT. A Denial That Contractor! Who Accede to Their Hen's Demands Can Get Mate rial Home Dealers Xot Expected to bell A Question of Cost. Any bosses or contractors breaking away from the ranks of the employers on the eight-hour question who expect to buy what they require from th builders' supply men. will be diappointed. The Builders' Exchange, it seems, has not yet asked the supply men not t j sell to breakers," but the sentiment among this trade is with the Uxchantre, and their own intere-ts will present t'jem trom helping the enctuvbi selling hi 111 gooclsi Mr. William., ot Garrison. Williams L Co., is a gentleman pos.eoinga very intelligent seue of the situation He said yesterdaj that the supply men were, as members of the Builders' Exchange, of course, in sj inpathy with the em ploy trs. but that, so far. tho supply men, as a 1 ranch of trade, has not been requested to re frain Xpin selling ti any one who had money to buy with, lie thought though that the sen timent in his tradr might be against selling to anv one who broke away from the stand taken hy the cwploj ers. Would t Offend Old Customers. Fen men," he said, "would think well of displeasing a large number of their old cus tomers bj selling to those who were antagon izing them. If any bosses do seek to work against the sentiment of the majorit they will not be able to buy material in Pittsburg. I don't think they can bu itatalk They cannot get 1: Iroin the adjacent towns because tho trade there bae to much business with Pitts burg employers to do anything which would hurt tbem in their light. They will be thus obliged to buy from a distance, and must par casii for their purchases as well as the cost ot transportation, a considerable item. Uener ill, if the strikers expect support by seces sions among employers, and beliete that such men can buj material where they will, my opinion is that they will be very much disap pointed. ' Mr. Williams believes the struggle will be a haid-fought one. aud is of the opinion that I tueempiojers win winir. uaey recognize, he 'sajf, that the relations between the two parties to the fight have reached a critical point, and employers see very clearly that if they are beaten in this struggle tbey are beaten for a long timo to come. t Business "Will buffer. Mr. -Williams says that business will suffer ver much, and that he in common with others, will have to cut down working expenses when the orders cease to come In. There are about 158 men employed in his trade who will be thrown idle Iron) this cause. 'The strike may not be of long duration," he aid. "I understand that the sentiment of a -e proportion of the carpenters is opposed the eight-hour strike, aud this fact- may up a way to a settlement on the basis of iurs work at the adv.tnce.iti wages asked. 1 that such a compromise of the difB- ild be favorabl considered by the ippiy men, who were averse to be- 'id not think that any of the bosses to make concessions to the men 1 to purchase material.

Contractors Hurrying Up Preparatory to the Beginning or the Strike BuUderi Confident That They Will Win In the Coming Trial of Strength. Architects and building contractors in Al legheny are rushing their work, that is, that portion of it which mutt be done by the end of the present month, or else pay a penalty. Hurry up has been the order ot the day ever since the talk of a general strike on May 1 was first begun, and it hasput money in the pockets of the mechanics. Hundreds of them have been working nay and nlghr under high press ure. While the men are perfectly willing to go out, they are not averse .to making a few ex'.ra dollars, and they have shown a willing ness to pitch in and help the bosses up to the time the tucsin sounds. Jastwh-u effect the strike will have across the river is a matter upon which there are a Tanety of opinions, gome days ago the larger number of the architects and builders were under the impression that the eight-hour fight would be a long and bitter one. Since the action of the miners at Colnnibus they have changed their opinion, and now say that owing to the fact that the miners will keep their hands off, the struggle will be short. The other side, however, was expressed in the re. mark made by a stonemason, woo was all hy his lonesome putting a few stones one upon the other in the foundation of a building on Ease street: "We go out to win this time. My boss says be will win. but he is mistaken. He is a good fellow and I like him, but I am sorry for him." Architect Llnkenhelmer thought the situ ation was rather blue. "Many clients." said he, "have given us orders to atop -work on plans. Ihe season started out in a most promis ing wax, the best building season that Alle gheny has ever known. J nst as soon, bon ever, as this talk of a strike for eight hours began, orders were in some cases entirely counter- manaea, wnne in others we were tola to go slow. The builders have made up their minds to have this a fight to the finish. 3Iy im pression Is that the troub'e will be settled in a moath. The men cannot hold out, and the builders are so confident of the unreasonable ness of the demand that tbey are standing closer together than ever before. Nearly all the new residence building over here Is being done in the vicinity of California avenne. Much of it will have to stop just where it is." A representative of James Hay, who does as much plumbing as any ope across the Alle gheny, saidtbat they proposed to take things as thev came. They had been hurrying op some of then1 work, and liutf-wof their -jobs would be left uncompleted. It was not pro posed, said he, to take any steps whaterer, but simply let things go on until the men came to a sense if reason. Of course it would be a losing business all round, but ho thought the time bad at last come when a stand should be made. BUILDING DISCOURAGED. The Strike Will Cause a Suspension of Work Many Persons Already Alarmed and Abandoning Their Plans Afraid to Take Chances Far-Beaching EGecti. Contractor Alex. Gilliland, who erected The Dispatch building, said yesterday, I don't care to talk about the strike, and am not sure that it will take place. My contracts are so made that if the strike comes the bouses won't be built. I suppose I have at least ten to erect this summer, and the money value will range from 1100,000 to 200,000. This is how a strike would affect my business." William itberow, of tho Duquesner "I am having my dining room frescoed, and if the f winters strike it will put me to considerable nconvenience. An eight-hour strike w ill para lyze the building interests of the city and will retard its growth. To show how, a gentleman told me yesterday that, with five others, he had bought a lot on Buena Vista street, in Alle gheny, with the intention of building a stone bouse this summer. Rather than take chances with the strikers, the six lots are now offered for sale and the houses will not be built. He said they would rather invest the money in good mortgages than to tie it Up in an uncer tainty. .Buena Vista street has recently been improved In the locality of which I speak." Contractor Chance says work on all his houses will have to stop, and he is building a great many. W. P. Lupton, the roofer, is now in Virginia, but several days ago he said: "Theialkof an eight-hour strike has scared a great many people who intended to put tip houses this summer. They won't do it now, and tho build ing interests will .suffer 10 this extent. It re flects also on my business, for without houses there will be no roofs to put on." HOPE IT WILL S00K BE 0VB. Architects Say the Strike Will Spoil a Very l'romlslng Outlook. rntsburg architects find that the strike will affect business and that very seriously. The majority of tbem say they do not expect the strike to last more than a few days and there fore its effects will not be so disastrous. J, h. Beatty said that last year was the biggest ever known in building in Pittsburg, but if the strike lasts any length of time there will be a great falling off. He said that a large nmber of peo ple are waiting to see how the strike turns ont before making any attempt to build. This will greatly delay matters even if the strike doesn't last long. If it is a short strike, it is Mr. Beatiy's opinion that this will be a good year for the building Interests. "The strike is most inopportune," said Super intendent Russell, of Longiellow, Allien & Harlow's office. "Had the men tried this movd last year they could have won it because it was a great year for building and the contractors bad a great deal on their hands. Now it is different. There Is not nearly so much build ing to be done and that will prove a factor in the decision of the strike. -Of course, It will injure buslness.-btit I don't believe it will last long euough to do much damage." SOME SOUTHSIDE VIEWS. Business Men Agree That the Strike Will Depress Trade. Louis KImmel, of South Fourteenth street, said yesterday: "It looks as if it will be a long struggle. Both sides seem determined, and It is bard to say which will win. I had intended pur chasing two new carriages this spring, hut will not do so now, as I will need the cash for other purposes should the strike last any length of time." G. F torch. Carson street, thinks it will be bad for tho businessmen or the Southside. Miller Bros, agree that it will in all probabil ity bring business to a standstill until tnere is a settlement one way or the other. J. J. Freund thinks it will be a hard fight. If a very long one. It will be a severe blow to business on that side ot the river. PLANING KILLS TO CLOSE DOWN. A Lockout Threatened Which Will Lay OfT About 1,500 Men. The eight-hour cry is being taken up by the planing mill hands, who have asked for the short day and 33 cents an hour. As reported in yesterday's Dispatch, the owners have unani mously refused both demands, and about 1,600 men will be locked out to-morrow. There is said to be no unanimity among the men in this trade, and it is believed that mauy of them will resume work on the conditions laid down by the bnstes. Mr. Evans, of Evans, Cunningham & Jones, said yesterday that he understood from mem bers of the association that' their men had is. sured them thev would work on the terms mentioned. Mr. Evans believed that if a few of the men went back they would all return. THE CHY WILL NOT BTJFFEE. Very Little municipal Building Will Be Stopped by the Strike. The city will not suffer very heavily by tho builders' strike. About the only work of any consequence to be stopped Is the Soutbslde Market House, which was recently destroyed by fire. Chief Bigelow has plans all made for a new structure, but the strike will put a slop to it. The city has no other work of any im portance on band in tbe building line. As a result Chief Bigelow, ot the Department of Public Works, is not at all anxious about the outcome of the strike. Mayor Uourley said he regarded tbe situation as very serious, from a business standpoint. - ' E00FEES TO QUIT W0EK, They Have Been Kef used an Increase of SO Cents a Day. Another trade which will go out to-morrow for an increase .of wages Is tbe gravel and slate roofers. The men have asked for an in crease of 50 cents tbey now receive $3 and the bosses have given them a positive refusal. There are about 15 firms in the business, em ploying about 150 men. Plnpibers Make 2?o Demands. Mr. McSbane, of Houston A McSbane, said yesterday that 'he had heard Of no strike talk among tbe. plumbers. Their work would be retarded by tbe carpenters going oat, and business generally would be upset. THE - BACKING UP BRQQKS. Every Wholesale and Retail Liquor House in Allegheny Put Under Police Surveillances , DAILY EEP0RTS FROM, SALOONS,! All the Interesting Facts to- Ba Embodied . In, a Book Which Will Ee Given; to the Judges. TO HATE MATUOXS AND MAGISTRATES. Heunres Thtt Espcristesdeat Kath 01 Pnsl Btfcre CcbecSj. The Department of Public Safety, and es pecially the Bureau of Police, 'will be the first to ask for municipal legislation from Allegheny Councils. Ordinances are being drawn np to provide for additioual station houses, a reconstruction of the police tele phone system and for the appointment of police matrons. Police magistrates are also on the list. The activity to which the force have already been stirred has caused an un utudlly large number of arrests', and In con sequence the hearings are often drawn out until 11 o'cloct. In justice to the officers who have to stay out all night, at least three magistrates are needed to dispose of the cases within a reasonable time.1' Mainly for this reason police magistrates will be'asked for. The Police Bureau will also undertake the supervision of the liquor trade in Alle gheny, together with a number of other mat ters in the present wave of reform. " ' Fired at the Bate of One a Day. Almost an average of one policeman a day has lost his head in Allegheny .since the opening of the month aud the install meat of Henry Math as Superintendent of the Bureau of Police. Much of the deadwood has been cut out of the iorcr, but there are still a number of barnacles, glued to the city force by political influence, that cannot be re-. moved at present. More change are to be made, however, and it is believed (hat under the police regulations which are to follow the reorganization, the "influence" men will so far forget themselves as to become policemen, or be given a long and much deserved rest. The era of uniformed bustlers at polls, under pay from the city is past. They are expected and will be compelled to become uniformed protectors of peace and property. Superintendent Muth is preparing a code of rules for the guidance of the force and is being ably assisted in the matter by Assistant Super intendent John Glenn, one of the most thor ough and efficient detectives and police officials in the country. The Superintendent has only in part given out bis plans and rnies, but he guar antees they will tie a sure care for that dread disease, ennui, which has so long weakened the constitutions of Alleghenj's supposed finest. Police Wires Will Be Rearranged. Besides this patrol wagon men are 'to come down to strict business, and will even have to' descend so far from their present position as to ask permission from the bead of the bureau when they wish to take a day off. The tele phones In the patrol boxes will be put in order as soon as the Pittsburg, Allegheny and Man chester Traction Company has put up its wires. Owing to the induction from light and electric railway wires the boxes are useless except for wagon calls, and it is useless to bang new wires' until they can oe rendered Iree trom outside currents. This work is expected to be com pleted during the summer, aud then the patrol-' men will havo to undergo the hardship of re porting through the boxes every hour or half hour. Of course, many a dream will be broken, and many a story left untold, but then a second class city will demand at leas', that much serv ice. Chief Murphy is also heart and soul in the reform movement, and his first strike will be to get two more S'atiou houses. The first one will be in the Sixth ward, probably on Beaver avenue. The site has not yet beoti. selected. A"tter that he wants to establish another'sta tion on Spring Garden avenne. In addition to this, an ordinance is being prepared and wjl I soon be presented to Council asking for the ap pointment of police matrons for each of the station bouses. If the ordinance fails it will not be for lack ot ability or push on the part of the Public Safety Department or the police bureau. Superintendent Muth, thongh prac tically a new man in Allegheny affairs, is a hard worker. At present be is devoting from 12 to 16 hours a day to his duties, lie is quiet and cool and not afraid to say anything be be lieves. They Know Nothing About Discipline. His present aim is to make the police force of Allegheny the equal of any in the country, and the other evening in speaking of the future of his Bureau, he said: "The Allegheny policemen do not know any thing about rules. When I know that the men on the rolls are the ones that are to perma nently compose the force, I will show tbem what discipline is. My men must be as tidy as West Point cadets on Inspection and as soldierly as members of the Queen's Guard. They must attend to nothing else but duty while they aro at work. Then are to have' regular beatsand will be supposed to know something 01 the people in the blocks whlcu they patrol. Accurate reports of everything that should come under their sunervision must be turned in to their superior officers Special attention will also be paid to the licensed bouses. We must know how each man con ducts his place and we Intend-to know. This Bureau will be able by the next term qfconrt to give the judges some interesting statistics on tho liquor trade in Allegheny. Speak-easies will be put donn and the licensed dealers will be held to the letter of -the law. ' ' M ill Keep Tab on Every Saloon. "We have no desire to stop good men frOm getting licenses, but we wish to guard against men securing a right which they will abnse. Every boy that comes in here intoxicated will be examined, and we will find where he got It. We will do the same with known habitual drunkards. Such persons may have gotten their liquor from a licensed house or trom a man who docs not have a license, but who in intends to auply. We do not want to deal with tnat class of citizens. Tho report which we will publish will contain alt these races, and we will see that tbey gel into the hands of the court. Personally I do not believe there are enough saloons in Allegheny. There should he 180, and then I don't believe there wonld be much trouble with speak-easies. The smalt number this year will undoubtedly make more illegal places, but we intend to weed them out as fast as tbey are established." From another source a story of one of the dis charged men was told yesterday. Superintend ent Muth had discharged one man for being in a speak-easv. The man denied it, but the Superintendent believed his information good, enough to warrant him in making the dis charge. On Sunday the truth of information was made rather apparent, for in one of the raids the discharged officer rode to the station house as a member of the gang. I F0H BAD AI.Lr-.GHENI.AN8. The Station House at Woods' Bun Is Near ly Beady For Guests. Allegheny City is to have a new police station in a few days. Tbe old lockup used many years ago, connected with the Lincoln Engine House, on Kerr street near Preble aveuue, is about ready for Its first occupant, as but n lit tle paint and whitewash is all that Is needed foe its completion. Carpenters have been putting it in shaoeor use and hereifter all prisoners arrested in tto Ninth ana Eleventh wards will fee confintn there. The station will be in charge of tne firemen at tbe Lincoln Engine House, which is in the same building. One lieutenant and eight patrolmen will renort there for duty at night instead of reporting at tbe City Hall.. This Is an innovation of Superintendent Muth's who believes that the new move will enable the men to get out on their beats an hour earlier than at present. A SUIT EOE DAM4GES.

A Shining of Dates More Needed Than a Board of Revision It Wonld Save 816,000 a Tear to the County Operating Under Difficulties. , From the manner in which County Com missioner Boyle and Clerk Web Murray dis cussed the bill in the Legislature providing for a board of revision o( tax assessments it would appear that the Commissioners' office of this county is not crying for the bill. Both gentlemen agreed that if,' instead of nearly three dozen clerks being employed four months a year during the rush, one-third of that num-V ber were employed all the time, they would be come experts, and the proposed revision could be made as effective as is provided by .Mr. Nes bil'sblll withoutNan additional cost of 15.000 a year.' the amount estimated to run tbe con templated bureau." The trouble, both gentlemen stated, wts that assessors and commissioners work under the law of 1S34 a law passed when the County Commissioners knew personally almost every man in tbe county, and when there were com paratively little price modifications according to location. For iustance, railways and fac tories had hot enhanced the value Of particular, sections a at present, and choice locations for business were not worth so much In those days when people were not In such a hurry as at present, aud thought nothing ot going two or three squares off. a favorite avenue to trade. Transient custom was not worth so much then as now, and in consequence propeity on one street was not worth two or three times as much as on tho next tor business purposes. Messrs. Boyle and Murray agreed that the remedy consisted partly in the change sug gested above, but mainly in a .change In the time in which assessors do their work. The law of 1SS4 provided that the assessnient'should be made after the State fall election, which was then held in October. Mow it is a month later, and the assessors do rot pet to work until well op toward tbe middio of November. Under tbe present arrangement tbe Commissioners do not get the assessors' books for revision nntll January 15, and they must complete their re vision by February 14. Were tbe assessors to begin work May 1, and turn their books over to the Commissioners Julv 1. all the revision possi ble, could be made without adding a dollar to tbe expense. As" an instance of how assessors do their work, three farms years ago adjoinlng'eacb other, but lying in the corners of three town ships Scott, Snowden and Upper St. Clair were assessed at S90, S1C0 and $150 per acre re soectlvelv. altuocch ona of the owners said that be could see no difference in their value."! When the assessors discovered the discrepancy tbey met to efface it, and it was done by pull ing down tho'highest price per acre to corre spond with the other two. It Is said that there has been a weakening in the ranks of the Democracy, which has been fighting tbe bill, some of tbe unterrifled think ing they see a chance for some plums in the new arrangement, and are in consequence now beggipg for its passage. W. J. Breunen, how ever, is at Harnsburg assisting to continue the fight against It. ' THE ANNUAL GATHEBING. Knights Templar Expecting a Great Cele bration at Erie.

Notwithstanding' tbe savage attack of the English Toiies on the tree school system, th'ere are, strange as it n.ay seem to a Tory, people in this country who think tbe free school more important than good roads. Though eminent authority states that a nation's degree of civili zation can be gauged by tbe comparative excel lence of Its highways, S. B. Kennedy, of Cora opolls, opposes tbe borrowing of money to fix tun borougb streets, and In lien proposes ten instead of eight months' school iu each year. Mr. Kennedy says that the oil material haul ers will destroy any roads the borough can build, so that work on them Is a Waste of money, ana less than a tenth ot the amount necessary to fix the streets, be says, will give two months more school, from which there is some proBpect of a dividend. F0EMD AN ASSOCIATION. Betail Dealers of the Southside Break Array From the Knights of Labor. Tbe business men of tbe Southside held a meeting last evening in J. J. Frennd's store. The principal business to come before the meeting was the report of tbe committee from the Knights of Labor, who were to endeavor to have all the dealers of the Southside sign the agreement to close at 6 o'clock. The commit tee failed to report, and the salesmen present were requested to leave. It was decided to form an association, and 12 members were obtained last evening. A com mittee was appointed to solicit members, and after the organization is completed the ques tion of early closing will be discussed thor oughly. Tbe next meeting will be on Tuesday next.

Officials Not Yet Ready to Keceive the Tax on Canines. THE "POUND ALMOST COMPLETED. A Free Bide, Two Days iioard and Quick v Death for Vagrant Curs. K0 POUNDHASTER APPOINTED , TET. The midsummer season commonly known as dog days will 110 longer be "a source of fear to Pitlsburgers. Tbe Department of Public Safety will see to it that physicians arc not overworked attending hydrophobia cases. Worthless . curs, .not . aristocratic enough to wear collars, will be deprived of their customary privilege of frothing at the month. Dogs will have no chance this year to cast reflection on' municipal officers by turning up their noses at Allegheny river water. (Two days' sojourn in a store box on Buch's hill and a more or less peace ful death are about the prospects ot un claimed canines. Councils recently passed an ordinance authorizing an annual tax of $1 on male and $2 on lemale dogs, and providing for a dog pound with proper attendants. The ordinance fixed May I as the date on which this uew law was to go into effect. Things looked then as if there would be no trouble in getting everything ready by that date, but Councils were not counting on the action ot the Supreme Court. Canines Beprieved by Supreme Court, The famous decisions in the street cases with the municipal mix-up that followed, have resulted in 15 days' reprieve for the dogs. When tho ordinance was passed there was not sufficient money in the appropriation ot 1890 to pay for printing the blanks and pur chasing tbe brass tags necessary to the per sonal safety of all good dogs. This bad to be postponed until tbe passage of, tbe new appro priation ordinance, which was held back sev eral weeks on account ot the street difficulty. Tbe abolition of the Department of Awards and the uncertainty as to how to proceed with out it also delayed matters. Since all these things were settled, the time has been too short for Chief Brown to get bis preparations made by to-morrow. As a result, the date has been postponed to May U, at- which time all dog owners who want their pets to live had Detter pay for the privilege. When the tax is paid the owner will receive a brass tag, which must be fastened about his dog's neck on a collar to insure immunity from tbe doigatchers. Tho plates are being made in three sizes, according to the size of the ani mal, all at tbe same price. Section i of tbe dog ordinance provides a fine of $5 on tbe owner of every dog not licensed and provided with the litense tag. , Making Quartors for the Doomed. For several days past a force of men have been, at work in the old stable on Bncb's bill belonging to tbe Department of Public Safety. Chief Brown has decided to use tbe place as a dog pound and oOkennels are beingbniltaround the inside. Outside the stable 50 big store boxes will be arranged for use in event of an excep tionally large number of guests. The pound is about completed. "We will not need room for more than 100 dogs" said Cbiel Brown yesterday. "W e will only bold them tn o days before tbey are killed, and not many can collect in that time. Every dog will be killed when the time is up. None will be sold. I have not yet decided on the bast method of killing the animals, but the easiest and quickest will be adopted." The appointment of a pouudmaster will not be made before May 10 Chief Brown'bas thei appointing power, and there are a number of applicants. A man of experience, who knows something about tbe various breeds of canines, will be required. Tbe ordinance authorizes the appointment of several assistants to the ponndniaster, but Mr. Brown says the police will be required to do the work for the present, untir the experiment Is .tried, oils plan re- 2 aires the patrolmen to capture the unlicensed ogsand take them to the nearest police sta tion, from which tbey will be taken each day t ine pound in tne patrol wagou. - ' FLAGUING A CELESTIAL. Tonthfnl Hoodlums Havo Heaps of Fun With a Cbartiers Chinaman. A Chinese laundryman has located in the unincorporated town of Cbartiers on tbe Pitts burg and Lake Erie Railway, and, could he vote, he certainly would vote for a borough government. McKee's Rocks can probably turn, out about as many devilish ur chins as any other similarly sized town on the Continent and If they continue to annoy that Celestial there is likely to be a case of justifiable infanticide ere long. 'He is at his wits' end. for if be have all arrested who bad ger him be will get but little custom for bis laundry, and so much of his time at present is expended in repelmg raiders that be cannot get his work done. , Tbe boys post two or three of their number in the neighborhood of the laundry, and tbey watch to take the heathen off his guard. No sooner is be absorbed in his employment, than a boy thrusts a stick over tbe thumb-latch of tbe door. Ibeb the hoodlums gather in force and bombard the bcuse with stioks, stones and mud, aud drum on the windows in a manner that would exasperateeven the elect. Meantime tbe poor pagan finds himself looked in and can only gnash his teeth in im potent rage until some good Samaritan comes along and raises tbe blockade, when the young scalawags take to their heels, and as the China man has not learned tbe fording- places in the mud be is liable to be suffocated if he pursue his tormentors. AN ATTBACTIVE KEG. Two Lawrenceville Men Were Thirsty and Took Mr. Hannigan'n Beer. P. J. O'Donnell ana J. P. Forsythe, of Forty eighth street, bad a tbitst on Sunday which could only be satiated with beer, Patrick Han nigan, of tbe same street, likes a little beer on Sundays, and to enable him to pass that day in comfortable enjoyment, Mr. Hannigan brought nome a nice, new, cool and fresh keg of beer on Saturday night. He thought it would retain Its freshness best in the air, and left it in his yard overnight. The keg, or the beer, pnsseseasnmo unut ual magnetic attraction, for it drew O'Donnell and Forsythe over a six-foot fence, and attached itself to tbem so forcibly (bat It still remained in their possession when they disappeared. Mr. Hannigan made information, yesterday against tbem before 'Squire McNeirney for larceny, and ConstableOohn Rodgers is keeping his eye open for tbem. GIVEN TO MOVING.

No Prospects of Dampness' Before To-Nlght Annoying "Effects of the Early Soring Drouth It Has, However, Saved the Frnlt Crop- From Destruction. Kature seems to be in a contrary mood at present. After the weeping of the heavens for'two years and six months, 22 times as long as the wet spell In Noah's time, the weather all of a sudden has become so drying that Mr. Stewart, of tbe Signal Service office, states an inch of rain will be necessary to do farmers any substantial good in this section, and yet it was but a week yesterday since there was a considerable down-Dour. The trouble is that tbe surface of the earth bad been reduced o tbe consistency of paste, and the sun and wind combined have baked It as hard as hard tack. The present would be a good timo for thn Itain Commission, lately appointed by Con gress, to begin the work of balloon explosions, but the grangers are afraid to loosen tho corks lest tbey get two years more of dampness. One of the human barometers of the rural districts stated yesterday morning that there would be rain soon, and the fact tbat tbere have been tbree white frosts will induce many oldtlme farmers to argue with him, as tbree white frosts are popularly supposed to be suf ficient to brliigraiu even in Peru or In Egypt, but Mr. Stewart does not pin bis faith to the theory and stated that be wonld be astonished If thim worn nnv rfiln in rh! tvitlnn naffim this evening, and he didn't seem to feel singulne that it could come then. The Signal Service treefrogs, norany other of its menagerie are yelling for moisture. . Yesterday morning's frost was tbe heaviest we havo had since winter let up. Even on the bills, ahovo tbe upper coal strata of this dis trict, it resembled a small snow, and this is tbe dark ot tbe moon. too. But everything is so in tensely dry tbat not much of tbe fruit bloom is believed to have been cooked. It is so copious that half might he destroyed and still an abnndance would be left.

Clods as large as cellar doors are thrown up, and unless rain comes soon there will be but little ground broken in this county for corn. Oats sown cannot germinate, and a spark sets the woods afire, and destructive conflagrations are imminent. SHE JUST MOVED IN. A Lawrenceville Woman Wanted Apart ments, So She Just Took: Them; Mrs. Annie Jeffreys is a good-looking young woman of 26 summers who occupies four rooms in tbe old Duncan mansion on Duncan street, near Fifty-second, very much against tbe financial sentiments of Mr. Patrick Mc Cabe. tbe owner. x Toward the end of March Mrs. Jeffreys called on Mr. McCabe one day and asked for the key of tbe rooms, stating that if thev pleased her she would send her husband to say so. Neither sho nor ber husband put in an ap pearance, and tbe next Mr. McCabe beard of the lady was that she had moved in and was occupying tbe rooms. Since then the landlord has made various but ineffectual efforts to ob tain bis rent, and as a last resort be has ap pealed to 'Squire McNeirney for assistance. Cocstable Rndgers was instructed to find the woman, but could- not do so. Neither did her husband materialize. THBEE EYES BETWEEN THREE, Squire McNeirney' s Attaches Have Each Lost One of Their Visual Organs. Alderman McNeirney seems to be threatened with an incubus of one-eyed personal attaches.

SEEKING THE TOWNS. England's Census Returns Show a Large Decreasein the Rural Districts. IDT DCNLAP'S CABLE COMPANY. 1 LosDoir. April' 29. Already tho census re turns have begun to be published. These for the purelyagriculjural villages in Essex show an average decrease of 10 peVcent since the last census was taken in 1881, and some of the pansnes show a decrease of as much as 30 per cent. This migration of the rural population to London and the other industrial centers is going on to an alarming extent, and creates a good deal of talk, being given as the reason why the farmers are unable to obtain sufficient labor for their own purposes.
