At 12 o'clock last night the wholesale liauor dealers closed their houses, and, UDtil the Judges give them permission to open s;ain. a quart of "hisky cannot lawfully be purchased id Allegheny county. A retailer cannot sell a quart, and now the man who buys whisky and takes it home for "me dicinal purposes" must cither be satisfied with a pint or go to two saloons to get the required quart Of course there arc numer ous ways of evading the law. For instance, two men can buv a pint each, and one man take it all. But the Judges of the License frown udou the pint trade, even, and ot well for a saloonist to make a prac of selling, except by the drink, as he y sometime get into trouble. Saturday is always a big day for whole salers, especially those who have big quart trades. But this one Saturday will pass 'ver without people being able to lay in a jig stock Jor the Sunday quiet jag, and how be prohibition towns in the vicinity of the county will suffer! Usually there are large delegations from all around, men who come to the city to wear a jag home and carry an other one in their pockets. This one Sun day will have to pass dry, though a good many people complain that all Sundays are wet and unpleasant. Bow Closing 1TH1 Affect Them. The smaller wholesalers will have to stand big losses, but with the larger dealers it won't be so bad. The former supply emergency business, while the latter have regular trade with saloonists who hare, of course, been compelled to put in extra large supplies of the cooling beverages to last until Judges "White and Magee hand over the keys to the year's wholesalers. To be sure, there will be some loss, and there may be people unable to get on a full head of steam on account of the want of beverage at the numerous hostelrles. Last night was an auspirous occasion ou which to change from wet to dry. The rain descended upon the earth and found a want of umbrellas on the street, and this com pelled a great many people to "get in out of the rain," and they of course felt the force of the '"supplying the wants of the inner man" story, and proceeded to do so. This had the effect of swelling the receiptsof the saloonist, and sometimes the head of the drinker. But by the time some of the old people get licenses again, these bygones will be for gotten, and on opening night the same good fellows v ill drink to the health of the suc cessful applicants from a glass of triple X. Double X may co closing night, but it won't do for a grand opening. Unwillingly Quit the Business. There will be some elegant new saloons and restaurants in the Gas City the coming year, if the striking carpenters ever relent and finish up the improvements- Last mght, when the last nails were driven in the work at various new restaurants, the sounds were like the knell of business for some time to come, while tbe ciick of the key in the doors of the old places was tbe knell of de parted spirit. Some of tlio old places have done as well as the most successful "comacker" could wish, and tbe proprietors closed their doors at inmnigbt with a heavy sigh for the last, when money Coned Into the cash drawer, wabed over the bar by beer or its companions lti drink. Bat the want of carpenters will leave stocks I debris on tbe Hoors of some of tbe new laces this morning, and if some of them do pen up tbey will have rb pu red lanterns on obstructions to prevent tbeii customers king their necks.

His bar and cafe will be flner than ever before, and that wcll-knswn old stand in a new location will shortly nave its opening. The Hotel Ktllel is also belli? somewhat remodeled, but tho bar business is not beirg greatly inter Jciod with. There are many other places where improvement are being made. Quite a number cl hotel men have decided to tun on t!o temperance plan this year, so they did not tslce out licenses to sell drinks. The judges we? mainly the cause of the decision. "o of couric it was perfectly legal, fcoft drinks and cigars will be the extent of the bar tradi at tlicso houses. At midnight, when theso men were tcrmug over their new leif, tli era wasasouwl of revelry as tbe glasses clinked their last clink and were stowed away for a year's forced idlcncs. Perhaps it will be lenger, but that will be decided later on. The Hotel JSoycr will pay considerable atten tion to trio prohibition trade this year, as tbe Judges prohibited it doing anything else. This is no joke for Sir. Bover. but he will keep his bar open for the soft drink and cigar trade. ' TTIierc Coffuo and Top Are Strong.

THE MAYOR'S WHISKERS. An Awkward Mistake Made by a Sew York Detective "ttho Was looking for Assistant Superintendent O'Mara One or tho rinest Fooled by the Lilacs. Roger O'JIara, Assistant Superintendent of Police, his many friends among the "Finest" of New Tork. One of -them, Detective Coulson, dropped Into the city yesterday, and made a bee-line for Municipal Hall, where he expected to find Roger and commnne with him on the increase of crime and tho best method of suppressing it He struck tho big rotunda, and after viewing with wonder the remarkable cago in which citizens go to sleep wLile being hoisted 20 feet, ho ap proached the pilot, Robert Davis, and in quired. "Where is O'Mara's office!" "Bob," who answers a million questions a day, and smiles every time at that, didn't quite catch the question. He thought Mr. Coulson wanted the Mayor. Get right in," Bob said. A. few minutes passed, and the elevator reached the seennd floor. "Turn to tbe right and Keep on going. You'll find him in there." Detective Coulson strolled into the Mayor's office. He sized up His Honor, and was stag gered for a moment. In height aud breadth of shoulder Jthe mau before him tallied with Roger O'Mara; but the face! Tbe detective breathed hard for a moment, and then he guessed the conundrum Roger had raised whis kers. "How are yon, old f ellowr" heartily inquired the detective. "I am well; how are you?" replied the Mayor. His Honor, lice all good politicians, preferred to assume that be knew his visitor rather than hurt tbe feelings ot a possible voter. "When did you raise the whiskers?" asked the detective. "What's that?" was the interrogative reply. "When did you begin to sport tbo lilacs?" "What do you mean?" asked the Mayor. "Oh, see here, you dldn'twear those whiskers when j on were in New Yoik three weeks ago." ".New York! Why, I haven't been in New York for a year." "Now. Roger, you don't want to jolly me. Weren't yon in New York without whiskers, three weeks ago?" A light dawned upon His Honor. "My name is not Roger," he said, "1 am Mayor Gourlcy." "What!" exclaimed Detective Conlsan, "ain't yon Roger O'Mara?" "No, I am tbe Mayor," replied His Honor. "Well, the whiskers fooled me," said tho de tective. Then ho went out into the rotunda and vivid flashes of forked llghtninglit up the rotunda. HELD FOR INFANTICIDE. A Young Mother Charged With Murdering Her Infant Child The Body Found In a Run she Denies Her Guilt Evidence Produced at tho Inquest, Mary Schafley, a girl 22 years of age, was lodged in the county jail last evening on a warrant charging her with the murder of her child. The body of the infant was found at noon on Wednesday, by a boy, in 'a run tliree fourtbs ot a mile from Chanters station. In Stowe township. Tho coroner was notified only yesterday, at 11 o'clock, and he ordered an investigation, which was conducted by 'Squire Charles S. Black, of tbe Thirty-first ward. From the evidence adduced at the inquest it appeared that Mary Scbafley was a domestic employed by Mrs. Pohr, who kept a boarding house to assist in maintaining her family, through the inability of her husband, Joseph Pobr. who is a carpenter, to do so, owing to poor health. Mrs. Poiir's daughter testified to the fact that MaryScuafle had not been very well for a day or two. Mr. Pour's house is in the immediate vicinity of the run where tin body of the child w as found. The girl was taken sick" at I o'clock on Wednesday morning, and Joseph Pohr went for several doctors, bat failed to find any at borne. At 7 o'clock J. A. Williams, the assistant to Dr. Burkert, was called in, and without making any examina tion, prescribed for a hemorrhage, as tbe girl declared that was what troubled her. In the afternoon Drs. J. A. Burr aud J. R. Miller were called in to attend the case. They examined the girl and found sufficient evidence that she bad had a child within 48 hours. The samo physicians held an autopsy on the child. It was fully developed, and from tests made they were satisfied it bad been born alive and healthy. It was a female child. Its throat bore marks of linger nails and was black, indicating that death had been caused by strangulation. When Grant Miller went down, m tne after noon, for the girl, he found her up and going about ber work. When accused oi having killed ber child tbe girl flatly denied having nad a child. When her father was brought to ber she made tbe same protestation of inno cence to him. Mr. Schafley told bis daughter that the testimony was too strong for her. and that she might as well tell the truth. Mary Scbafley is described as a good-looking girl, hbe is an American by birth. DRIVEN HOME BY WOHEN. Sixth Ward Housewives Deal Summary Pun ishment to a Recreant. The Sixth ward, Allegheny, was in a state of excitement last evening over a funny little affair that happened down there yesterday afternoon. For some time past a certain man has been visiting a woman living on Warren street, in that ward. The women residents of the neighborhood have beon cognizant of the matter, and,on learning that the gentleman was a married man. concluded to treat him to a little surprise. Yesterday afternoon the man in question visited the boose. By some pre arranged plan tbe females of the neighborhood met in one body. They had with them such weapons as old tin cans, tin boilers and tin buckets. This crowd of indignant, females ar ranged themselves in front ot the house. The visitor attempted to make bis escape by scalirg a back fence, but tbe indignant females were looking for sacli a move and soon had him surrounded, beating both their cans and the man. Others contented themselves with crying: "Go home to jour wife." "Go and properlv dress your children," and other such cries. The object of their wrath, after a severe bombardment, managed to make his escape and found shelter among the cars In the Fort Wayne yard. FOUND THE FOOTPBINTS. A Burglar Attempts to Do Business In the Ruined German la Bank. About 10 o'clock last night a newsboy rushed into Central station and said he had observed a man crawl along tbe window ledge on the broking office of Robinson Orr. in the par tially destroyed Gerraanla Bank building, but the fad was not sure whether tbe man had suc ceeded in entering or not, as he had started off to give the alarm as soon as he saw the sup posed burglar. Inspector McAleese and a half dozen officers immediately went to the building, found the watchman and made a thorough search, but failed to find the bnrglar, though they did find the imprint of a man's boot heels on the win dow ledge as tho bov had described. After fruitlessly searching for an hour and a half, evry nook and corner of the building, the officers gave up tbe bunt, but gave the watch man Instructions to keep a vigilant watch 'and immediately report any suspicious circum stances. SMALL SCEAP3 OF LOCAL, NEWS. THE new entrance and reception rooms at tbe Mercy Hospital which have been In course of construction for the past eight months were completed yesterday. The addition contains four large rooms with a large hall. The build ing is of tine pressed brick, with stone trim nil n is, and finished in hard wood at a cost of $1,000. Foreman James Kerr, of patrol wagon No. 1, has handed in his resignation to Chief Murphy. He has been a faithful and e fflcient officer for four years, and takes pride in the record be has maintained of constant duty without a suspension. Shortly after 6 o'clock a team ot horses at tached to a wagon owned by Frank Bcbell took fright and run off on Itcn street, Allegheny. Tho wagon was bady wrecked, and one of the horses Injured to such an extent that it bad to be shot. Mrs. Greener, of Southern avenue, Mr. Washington, who was seriously injured by a runaway team last week, died yesterday from the effects of her injuries. Two years ago her husband was killed in a natural gas explosion, Yesteedat afternoon an 8-year-old boy named Irskey was knocked down and run over bv a wagon on Chestnut street, Allegheny. His leg was broken. He was taken to his home at 72 East street. John Klein, of the Grand Opera House, reached man's estate yesterday. His undo, Samuel J.

Korlbsldo Politicians Kow Hustling for Everytliinj: in Sight. SLATES AS AT PEESEN T ARRAH&ED. Parke and Werllieimer Likely to Go to the National Contention, PBOPHECIES ON THE STATE TICKET Like Pittsburg, Allegheny is in a state of lethargy until the municipal legislation is secured at' Harrisburg. In consequence, the city employes hive but little to do save -ROssip about Republican politics with the conncilmen or anybody else who is willing to listen. Both the Hunter and the Com mittee of Fifty factions are commencing to lay ropes for all the plums in sight within the next few years. The leading matter at present is the election ot delegates to tbe State convention. They will be chosen at the county convention, which is to be held the first Saturday in June. There are four places to fill in the first legislative district. The candidates are Counciman John W. Stacy, of the Fourth ward, and Councilman Henry Albrecht, of the Third ward. The candidates in the Second district are Councilman J. J. Both well, of the Second ward, and ex-Councilman C. Steffen, Jr., of the Sixth ward, who is now residing in the Eleventh ward. It is not believed that there will be any oppo sition to these candidates. Many Eyes on the Future. Four aspirants havo also shown up for the honor of representing Allegheny in the National Convention, even though thsir selec tion does not take place until next February. Thomas A. Parke is tho leading candidate, and his prestige as Chairman of Com mon Council 1 believed to assure his election. Next on tbo list is Emanuel Wcrthoimer. Chairman of the Finance Committee. It is generally conceded that the honor is due him, from tbe fact that he was defeated' for tho Legislature last year on account of bis absence in Europe during the campaign. Mayor James G.Wyman Is also in tbe field at present, but It is understood be will withdraw, and will not likely be a candi date for that or any other office. It is said be expects to return to Boston. William With erow, oftjie Hotel Duquesne, is a candidate, but it is argued against him that his residence is more in Pittsburg than in Allegheny, though he doesn't think so. The general opinion is that Thomas A. Parke and Emanuel Wert heiraer will be tho winners, for they have the cards to win If they only play them. The only candidate mentioned from the county is Will iam Knoderer, of Dixmont, Numerous candidates are already springing up for places in the Legislature, and the tight to be made next year will be the bitterest ever known in Allegheny. The records of each of tbe present Allegheny members are to be pub lished in pamphlet form and scattered among tbe voters during the campaign. The Same Old Fight Over Again. Charles W. Robison wiil be a candidate in the First district, together with Charles A. Muehlbronner and B. F. Kynd, the prosent members. Complaints are already being made that Representative Rynd has not been in his seat during One-third ot the session. Two other men, one from the Third and the other from tbe Fourth wards, are considering tbe ad visability of going into the fight, and if tbey do they run a good chance ot sweeping tho field. In the second district a lively contest Is also promised. Henry C. Lowe, Select Councilman from the second ward, will be a candidate. Ex-City Physician Woodburn is also in the field. The other aspirants are William Mc Kinney and George L Rudolph, of the Fifth ward, and Thomas B. Morris, of the Ninth ward. It is very probable that both members from this district will be new men. Senator Graham, one of tbe present members, an nounced last year that he would not be a can didate again, 'and Mr. Marshall, the other mem ber, U not likely to be a candidate. Tbe. spring sunshine has also awakened the Mayoralty bee. Two candidates are already announced. William M. Kennedy will carry the standard of the "reformers," while Arthur Kennedy has been announced as the arbiter ot the fortunes of tho Hunter-Stone faction. William M. Kennedy is given the credit of be ing decidedly In tbe lead at present. It is not yet determined whether Congress man William A. Stone will have any opposition, bnt matters look decidedly like a second term for him. A big fiLht ispromised after that. A prominent politician who frequently vis its Pittsburg, was interviewed at Union sta tion yesterday, and in speaking of State politics, he unburdened himself as follows: A ear of Unusual Hr.rmony, "This will he a year ot unusual harmony among the Republican politicians of Pennsyl vania, but it will only be the calm that will precede the bitter Senatorial fight of next year. There will not be much of a fight in tbe coming State con vention. Senator Quay has said that he will not take a hand in the nomination this year, so there will not be a contest between be and Magee. Senator A. H. Mylin, of Lancaster, will be the nominee for Auditor General. He has a record of 3 years In the House and 13 years in the Senate. The whole county Is push ing his candidacj.and for tho first time in its history it will send a delegation of all factions in tbe Interest of Senator Mylin. The other candidate named is John A. Glenn, tbe clever duda lawyer from Philadelphia, but as Mylin is a farmor It is not likely or safe for the Re publican party to go to the cities for a candi date. "William E. Burdlck, of McKean, Is the lead ing candidate for State Treasurer. He can control abont 3,000 oil votes that no other man could roacb. J. B. Fmley, of Monongahela City, has also been named for tbe place, but he is a banker, and that would not suit tbe farmers. "As for the Chairman of the State, Commit tee, I can best furnish information on men who will not get the place. It will no: be Cooper, because he is a 'Federal officeholder, and it certainly will not be Baker, because be was tbe Chairman of the Corporation Committee and a supporter of certain legislation. Colonel Stew art, Secretary of Internal Affairs, is out for the place, but there is no danger of his getting It. The nama of trie man who will be the next State Chairman has not let been announced. It will certainly not go to any of those now in the Held." AH INSTETJCTIVS FEATTJBE. A Dally Reader Employed In Southern Cigar Factories. A new feature has been introduced in tbe Ybor City, Fla., cigar factories, with a view to tbe improvement of tbe hundreds of men and women employed therein. At 10 o'clock each morning a bell is tapped, when all talking and laughing ceases in the work room. A Spaniard who is known as the "reader" mounts a platform in the center of room, and while tbe employes keep on with the work he'reaus aloud in Spanish the dally news from all over the country. At ler tho current news of tho day has been ex hausted he reads from magazines and novels. This is kept up every day from 10 In the morning till i In the afternoon. During tbe reading exercises the order is perfect all over the factory, and tbe employes claim tbey can wbrk faster and better, and at the same time are interested and instructed. Each employe contributes a pro rata share toward tho salary of the "rcaaer." C0NBIDEBED EATHEB PBEJIATTJBE, Report of a Settlement of Westinghouse Electric Matter a Little Before Time. The New York Journal of Finance of this week says: "From authoritative sources comes tbe information that a reorganization of the Westinghouse Company and a complete adjust ment of its financial difficulties are ready for announcement." Regarding this statement, Vice President Bannister, of tbe Westinghouse Electric Com pany, said yesterday that itmust be unauthor ized, as he was not aware of such being the case, since from his position he would be likely to have early Information respecting such Im portant news as that. Off for a Philadelphia Mission. Rev, Father Simon, of the Passlonlst Monas tery, on Mt.

' Pittsburg has pumping capacity sufficient to supply London with .water, but its reser voirs are not covered, as are those of London and Paris, and how much bacilarife injurious to health our beau tiful lakes on Hiland aud Herron hills -may contain Is unknown, although the officials do contend that the fluid is as pure as pure can be. The 28 acres ot water doubtless receives a great deal of matter into it during a year that is not healthy. The English system Is somewhat different from ours, as the storage reservoirs are built at a distance from the city, and they are open and tho water is carried to filtering reservoirs. Adjoining these are the covered reservoirs, and after tbe water enters tbem it is not exposed to either light or air until it is drawn off by tbe consumer. London is supplied by about a dozen different independent companies, except that they must sub mit to Parliamentary inspection. Ihey fet water from the Thames, from akes and from artesian wells. One com pany's outside storage reservoir holds 610,000, 000 gallons, and some of the covered reservoirs hold 8,000,000 gallons. They aro arched and covered with three feet of earth to keep the water cool and also to keep It from freezing. The water does not re main long in these covered reservoirs, being drawn out almost as fast as tbey can bo filled, which would seem to render any advantage to be gained by covering almost nugatory. The tops are used for relaxativo purposes. On one ot these covered reservoirs are ten tennis courts. The covering is considered necessary for public Safely and is enforced by law. In Paris there is no law, except public opin ion, that compels the covering ot reservoirs, but tney are all covered except that whtcb re ceives its supply from the river Ourco, and this is made an exception on account of the water being polluted before It reaches tbe reservoir. The reasons assigned for covering at Paris are that the water is kept free from foreign matter, from soot and dut carried by wind and from tho action of light and tbe beat of tbe sun, from the variations of temperature and tho develop ment of vegetable and animal life. Frankf ort-on-thc-Maln also has its reservoirs covered. All are covered with arches overlaid thickly with earth. It seemed an uphill job to get either critical or speculative opinion on the subject in this city. At the Water Bureau, Mr. Crouch seemed to be the only man who had any views on tap. He thought Pittsburg water was abont as pure as it could bo made. He said it was well filtered and watchmen patrolled the reservoirs so that it would be extremely difficult for evilly ulsposed pconlo to foul it. Mr. Crouch also opined that the water was purer uncovered than it would be If eovered. from thefact that it was agitated oy the breezes and would not be were it covered hermetically, and be did not appear to have any idea that any contami nation worth noting could come on the wings of the wind, such as dnst and soot. Mr. Denniston was apparently in a state of extreme exhaustion, and could not exert him self sufficiently to give an expression. Mr. Miller, m the Water . Assessor's Depart ment, declined to talk, but referred the in quirer to Mr. Wilcox, who had stepped out and could not be found. Whether tbe quality of tbe water would be Improved or no the covering of the reservoirs would make two delightful parks, and the roof ing Is quite feasible. At that far height, tbe trees planted would notbe soot-crated, but the roofing would destroy tbo reservoirs as Ice ponds. As some people promise that artificial ice shall in time be cbcape( than the natural crop tbe latter consideration is not material. It might not be a bad idea to roof heavily with an earth crating the Bedford avenue basin. It would give the downtown population a nice lit tle park that could be reached from tho Point by a ten-minute walk, and could probably be built cheaper than the same area of ground could be purchased downtown. TO HELP THE HOSPITAL- The Southslde Ladle Meet and Form a Permanent Organization They Suc ceeded in Raising 8300 at the Meeting Yesterday A Valuable Assistance. The appeal of the Board of Managers of the Southside Hospital to the ladies of the Southside for aid in their work was met with a prompt and generous response. The meeting which was called for yesterday after noon was held in Odd Fellows Hall, at South Eighteenth and Sarah streets. There were about 150 ladles present when Dr. Thomas mounted tbe platform and called tbo meeting to order. After ex plaining tbat tbe call was made to get the ladles to assist in raising money to keep the institution afloat the doctor read a report from tbe Secretary showing the financial condition. The Southside Hospital was opened on June 1, 18S9 Since that time 570 patients had been re ceived for treatment The amount of cash received from all sources was 10,810 27; of this 1,618 11 had been received from patients, the balance by contribution. lbe total ex penses to date were 10,523 14. which leaves a balance ot $317 13. This amount will not pay tho bills tbat fall due in one week. On April 1 there was not one cent in the treasury, but re lief came through the efforts of tho Willing Hand Society of Calvary Church, East End, and the King's Daughters of Irwin, Pa. The East End ladies have also furnished one room complete and contributed mnch in other ways, such as clothing, bandages, etc There are at present IS patients under treat ment, who cannot bo abandoned, and some action must be taken to raise tho money at once. The doctor also statod that the 97,000 expected from the State would not reach them much before tbe 1st of July, and money is needed badly to pay expenses until that time. The Southside people do not seem to take much interest in the hospital, and the doctor said he had learned that a number of South side manufacturers had tried to inflncuce the Legislative committee against the approving of an appropriation. Miss Maggie Hare was asked to accept the Chair temporarily and Mrs. Dr. Sweenv Secre tary. A permanent organization was then formed, tn be known as the Ladies' Aid Society of the Southside Hospital. Mrs. John 8. Mc Millan, of Mt. Washington, was elected Presi dent; Mrs. Riddle and Mrs. Wallace.Vice Presi dents; MrB. Dr. Sweeny, Recording Secretary; and Mrs. Redman, Treasurer. All the ladles present were invited to become members. Tbe initiation feowas fixed at SI. After tbe Installation of the officers the names of 70 ladles wero secured, many ladles having gone homo, as the hour was late. All the ladies present are greatly interested, and it is safe to predict a brighter future for the hospital. Al most J30O was raised. The meeting adjourned to meet next Tuesday at tbe Humboldt school house. Twentieth and Sarah streets, at 350 p.m. A B0ABDEB IS TBOUBLE.

BUSINESS ON A BOOM. 1 t Enconrasinjj Returns Hade bjr City Merchants to the Assessor PITTSBURG'S TRADE A-QROWlHG. License Court Judges Secure Sofae Valu able Informations. TAXES BASED ON SWORN STATEMENTS The Board of Assessors is being flooded with returns from city merchants giving their gross receipts for the past year. These returns are very encouraging to the firm believer, in the steady and rapid growth of tbe Gas City. They show a consistent and flattering increase in all. branches of busi ness. Here and there a man reports a slight falling off, but such cases are rare. It is difficult as yet to figure just the proportion ol increase over the preceding year, butit is thought tbat the revenue from the busi ness tax will exceed tbat of last year from 15 to 20 per cent The assessors are not quite satisfied with Judge Slagle's decision exonerating manu facturers who make their wares outside tbe city, but whoso offices are'in town and where all their business is transacted. On Satur day City. Attorney Moreland will hold a conference with the Assessors, when a plan wiil be outlined for the purpose of obtain ing a modification of the decision. License Jndges Assist the Assessors. The Assessors feel very grateful to the Judges of the License Court for helping them to obtain the actual figures in the re ceipts of wholesale liquor dealers. The Judges have made a practice of asking each applicant to state under oatti jnst what his re ceipts were, some of these gentlemen tried to avoid publicity by writing tbe amount ou a slip ot paper and banding it to the Judge. On more than one occasion tbe Judge has read out tbe amount. Ibis method of giving information to tbe Court does not necessarily infer, say tbe Assessors, tbat tbe applicant desires to hoodwink the men who assess and collect taxes. In many cases it is done to prevent an applicant's competitors securing information regarding the former's business and standing. The result ot the Judges' queries, however, will be to boost the recolpts from the business tax. Tbo Assessors are watching the License Court report, and wherever a man makes a statement under oath as to his receipts ha will be assessed to tbat amount. If he objects to the assessment he can take an affidavit tbat it is not so much, but will then be confronted with bis sworn statement in court In tbat event the taxpayer will have some difficulty in explaining away a charge of perjury. More Revenue From Drinks, The assessors say the increased number of saloons will not produce much if any more rev enue for the business tax. It will merely di vide up the trade among more people. But what may have an effect will be the cutting down of the bottlers and smaller wholesalers, if the court should see tit to take such action. In many places where bottlers are knocked out the men who want a drink but have been ac customed to taking it at home will have to go to a saloon for It. The increase in taxes will arise from tbe difference in roillaee. saloon keepers paying 10 mills, while wholesalers and bottlers pay bnt 1 mill on the dollar. The Allegheny Board of Assessors has a scrap book almost filled with the proceedings of tbe License Court published In Tne Dis patch. They Intend to make tbe assessments fur tbo business tax on the sworn statements of the applicants. Assistant Assessor James P.Stewart spoke of tbe matter yesterday as follows: "We ex pect to base our assessments of the liquor busi ness on tbe sworn statements made in tbe Li cense Court, and it will materially Increase the revenne of tho city. Most of tbe figures are away beyond those given to me. There are sev eral instances, however, where our figures are the largest. Wo have D. Lutz & Sons assesed at S1DO.000. while tbey only reported about 5350, 000 to the Court. Ourassessment of the Gang wiscb: Brewing Company is also 83,000 In excess of tho statement made to tbe Judges." , PIX1NG UP THE STEEETS. Contractors Start Up Work Under lost Tear's Appropriation Ordinance. Street improvements are beginning to move along at tbe usual summer rate. Work on the repaying of Fifth avenue from Boquet street eastwardly was begun yesterday by Booth A Fllnn, who also started repavlng on Tunnel street between Webster and Old avenues. Tbe former is to be paved with asphalt as far as tbe 30,000 appropriation will carry, probably to Morewood avenue, and tbe latter with block stone. Fonrth avenue will be torn up on Mon day for repaying with asphalt from Wood to Grant streets. WorK is also being pushed rapidly forward on the repavlng of Penn ave nue from tbe Forks to Forty-fourth street. This contract is in the hands of Evan Jones and was begun last summer, but by reason of the large amount of travel on that thorough fare the work can be carried forward compara tively slowly. The above contracts were all let last year under last year's appropriation. This year's repavlng contracts will be awarded as sonn as tbe various legislative bills relating to Pitts burg aro passed and signed by the Governor. Some work is also being done on new paving contracts that were nearly but not quite com pleted last year. Booth it Fllnn have Aiken and Center avenues, H. C, Howard bas Mi nerva street and Evan Junes has Colvm street now under way. None of these contracts will require much over a week to finish. BWEAEIHG WITHOUT PB0FAHITY. How a Man With a Hot Temper and Some Religion Keeps Ont of Tronble. There Is a man in town who conceals consid erable of the old original Adam about him. but being of rather a Puritan turn of mind, he has often found himself handicapped wben things went wrong and he had not the language at band to express his feelings. Tho gentleman has overcome this difficulty, however. A careful perusal of the dictionary has given him a supply of words, which, when pronounced with properly heated emphasis, sound so much like "cuss" words tbat no one can tell the difference except tbe orator. Els "dang it" is a symphony in red, and his ''good condemn it" an eruption of lurldity. It soothes him to me these and kindred, expressions, and at tho same time he Inflicts no irreparable injury upon his religious principles. ONCE IK A HUNDRED YEAES. House Cleaning Is Being Attempted at the Central Board Rooms. Long-bandied dusters and short-handled dusters, long-handled brooms and short-handled brooms, one-story stepladders and two-story stepladders, large dust-pans and small dust pans, pails full of water and empty pails, with a couple of "gentl emeu's gentlemen," formed a picture of chaos and general confusion at the Central Board rooms yesterday.The apartments of tbe august educational bony, though a little slow in their spring cleaning nevertheless in tend doing the thing up In good order now that it Is fairly commenced. The yoars, accumu lated dust will be shaken in great shape, and tranquility and peace reign again ere the teachers call to draw their monthly salary. Fooled Into a Panic, A panic wascrcated in tho Bijou Theater last night by the slamming ot a door in the upper part ot tbe building during a slight windstorm. When the door was heard to slam some one in tbe gallery yelled "Firel" and everybody made a brtlak for tbe exits. However, they were stopped before they got very far, and no one was hurt. mm ROTES OF THE LAB0EEE8. Miners Who Are Working Double to Get Ont Coal.

V - :186L A LADY WITH A TEMPER, W, o Lawrencevllle -Women Save a Little Breeze Abont Diver Affairs and an ' Organ One of Tlieiu Is a Beauty A Tale of Domestic Infelicity. A tale of domestic infelicity was unfolded in 'Squire McNeirncy's office yesterday when Mrs. Ella Asbury, of HalfieM street, answered to her hail on charges of assault and battery and disorderly conduct preferred by Mrs. Sarah Hincbliff, who is her sister-in-law. Mrs. Asbury is a remarkably fine looking woman, who, though 30 summers have passed over ber bead, yet does not look more tban IS year! of age. From the evidence adduced in the case it seems, however, tbat tbe lady has a tongue and temper. Ted Asbury is a bridge builder, who has not been suffi ciently well to work at his trade for some time. He was, therefore, thrown rather much in bis wife's society, and he did not seem to relish it. He had to leave her be fore, he said, and on Tuesday night last be about made up bis mind he would leave her for good. He went over to his sister's honse and remained there all nlcbt. ftext morning Mrs. Asbnry's IB-year old boy by her first husband r for she was a widow when Mr. Asbury mar tied her cauie with a message that she wanted o see him. Ho sent word tbat he would not go. Mrs. Asbury, having ascertained her hns band's whereabout-, which was all she wanted, immediately set out for ber nlgbbor's house to make an investigation Into affairs. She told Mrs. Hincbliff what she thought or her In language which was described as more forcible than elegant, and at intervals soucht to im press on ber neighbor and relative the force of what abo was saying to herbythnnips on tbat lady's chest delivered with creat science and skill. All of which Mrs. HlnchllnT resented extremely and called upon tbe 'fcsquiro to ob tain her redres3 for. The trouble originallv arose over the distri bution of property to the value of $23,000 leftjto Mrs. Hlnchlitf and her relatives by liar father, an Englishman. Included iu the inventory is an orgaa which Mrs. Hinchlifl loaned Mrs. As bury to take care of. The former lady alleges tbat the organ is being 111 treated, and on ask ing Mrs. Asbury to gtvo It up was refused. scAscny of muck ieon. Not Over Half the Demand Can Now Be Supplied. Tbe scarcity of muck iron has not been as great as it is at tbo present time In a number of years. It is almost Impossible to get any more outside of Pittsburg, which mostly sup plies this market, and, in consequence, the finished output in quite a number of the mills has to be curtailed, causing a great deal of lost time, and putting a large number of men ont of work. In the mill at Sharpsbnrg tbe puddlerscan only turn out about o tons of muck iron from 23 fnrnaces in two turns. Tbe finished amount should be 150 tons a day, whereas it is a little more than half tbat much. Spang, Cbalfant & Co. are unable to make more than half enough of raw iron for tbe finishing departments of their mills, and until now these two firms have always been able to bny as much as tbey needed. Tbe former buys more raw Iron tban any other firm in the city turn ing out the same amount annually. Pittsburg has at present four idle iron mills. These restrict the output daily about SOU tons, throw about 3,000 men out of work. But tbat does not include nearly half that many more who are idle in such mills that for want of raw material cannot be run more than half time. Since the mill at Kittannlng has been shut down at least 100, or about half of the work men, have come down to Pittsburg, and the most of them are working in tbe different mills.

A hUhiber arcolored citizens wet last even ing in Eureka Hall. Artburstrcet; in pursuance ot tbe call lor a meeting to elect delegates to the National Eqa.il KighU Convention, to be held in Cincinnati May i. "Broad Ax'' Smith, State Chairman of tbe American Citizens' Equal Rights Association, presided, and Isaao Morton acted as secretary. As tbe attendance was mnch lighter than had been anticipated. It was decided to appoint a committee to select the delegates. Too committee consisted of "Broad Ax" Smith. Iraac Morton. Henry Jones. Rev. W. P. Hall. J. C. Deiphy. Charles Jones and John Hot. The delegates they se lected were: John Roy, Rev. W. P. Hall. J. M. F.Foster, Isaac Morton and Henry Jones; alternates, J. C. Delpby, T. W. Gale and Eugene Maguire. The delegates' credentials will be issued to tbem at tbe office of the Broad Ax. and will be signed by "Bruad Ax" Smith. State Chairman, and J. C. Dclphy, State Secre tary. On motion it was decided to send a dispatch to the National Secretary at Washington, D. C, notifying him of the election of tbe dele gates to represent Western Pennsylvania. On motion of Mr. Morton the delegates were In structed to bring before tbe convention the matter of requesting Congress to set aside Sep tember 22 as a national holiday, or memorial day, in commemoration ot President Lincoln's proclamation, Issned September 22,1862, giving tbe rebels tbe alternative of laying down tbelr arms or having freedom for the slaves pro claimed. Mr. Morton sajd be bad presented the matter to Congressman Dalzell, who had promised to give it his attention. The Farmers' Deposit National Bank's Step Torward. The early history of the Farmers' Deposit National Bank is so well known to Western Pennsylvania that it would scarcely be worth while to repeat it here, save for the purpose of comparison. Abont 60 vears ago, or, to be correct, in Febrnary,1832, some young men of tbe town, 25 in number, formed tbe Pittsbnrg Savings fund and began business by the payment of $2 a week each to tbe capital stock. The gross earnings for the first year amounted to but a few hundred dollar;, two-thirds of which accrued from fines imposed on mem bers for smoking, talking too much and other minor infractions of the by-laws, which shows that in those early days they made every effort to add to their income. After conducting the business as a part nership for some years a charter was pro cured from the State, and the affairs were carried on as a corporation for a time, when this was changed and the bank again be came a partnership, aud was known as the Farmers' Deposit Banking Company. In 1864 the bank was Incorporated as a national institution, with tbe title Farmers' Deposit National Bank, and has continued so since, having In 1884 renewed its charter for an other term of 20 years. SAFE DEPOSIT VAULTS A FEATUXE. In January, 1887, the bank moved into its present quarters, which for the purposes they are used are not excelled by many in tbe country, and thought things were set tled for a long time to come, but Its lot, No. 66 Fourth avenue, runs through to Third avenue, 170 feet deep, and a space abont 60 feet was not built upon, so the management concluded to do, their customers and the pnblic one good tarn and themselves an other by building one ot the strongest and best sale deposit vaults in the country. This has been done and the vanlts built by the National Safe Deposit and Vault Manu facturing Company are now open for inspec tion and ready for business. The vaults are located on the ground floor, in tbe rear of the bank proper, the en trance being the same as the bank's. The convenience ol having a safe deposit de partment in a bank like the Farmers' De posit National will doubtless be appreciated by tbe pnblic, as its facilities now enable it to transact banking in all its branches, such as receiving the active acconuls ot corpora tions, firms and individuals, as well as the private accounts of women, buying and sell ing foreign exchange, and the issuing of let ters of credit to travelers. Boxes are rented from $5 upward and valuables of all descriptions, such as cou pon and registered bonds, certificates of stock, deeds, mortgages, wills, coin, plate, jewelry, etc, are received for safe keeping. This hank's management has always been energetic but prudent, as its growth from a few hundreds the first year to deposits of over $3,000,000 and a surplus of over $800, 000, or nearly three times its capital, is evidence.
