, -j VERY FLAT DENIALS Made by Cily Officials and the Fi nance Committee to William Boward's Bill in Equity. EVERYONE PROTESTS INNOCENCE. It Is Claimed Impossible to Draw Interest on Money lhat la Deposited Sub ject to Check. TRUSTEES ABE CONSIDERED A MENACE Tie Xtytr, Ceatraller tad Tnucrer Bricfiy Daj aid Thai WitUn . Answers to the famous Howard bill in equity were filed yesterday by Mayor Gour ley, Treasurer Dennistoa and Controller Morrow, and to-morrow morning the an swer of the Finance Committee will be placed on record. Its answer was held out yesterday became all the members of the committee were not present to sign it. All the bills are in the main simple denials of all the statements set forth by Mr. Howard, in which he stated that over (1,000,000 of the city's sinking fund was held in banks, was not drawing interest, and, he further claimed, that the money was being held there for the benefit of certain politicians aud bankers. The plaintifl's bill was filed daring last October. At the meeting of the Finance Commit tee yesterday the answer of that body was presented by City Attorney Moreland and approved by the committee. Mr. Keatinc objected to some of the answers because they were not strong enough, but Mr. Moreland replied "that compels them to produoe proof." The Controller's Answer Separate. A silence followed this, until Mr. More, land announced that the Controller would file a separate answer, "Why isn't it also submitted to us?" asked Mr. Ford. "Because it's none of onr business," re plied Mr. Keating. "The Controller is not required to show us his answer. Why, this is a free country, even in spite of the de cisions of the Supreme Court, to say nothing of the findings of the License Conrt." The committee then agreed that the Con troller could keep his answer from the com mittee if he wished. The 10 members pres ent then signed the bill. The defendants in the reply ol the Finance Committee are: Messrs. H. P. Ford, G. L. Hollidry. A. F. Keating, A. C. Robertson, J. M. Anderson, John Paul, K. J. Hazlett, J. McM. King, Andrew Bender, W. A. Meee, John Dunn, J. J. Msguire, Thos. Delnnev. William Ancloch, R. D. Mac Goniple.M.irk Donley and Thomas Wallace; besides R J. Hjzlett, P. J. Donahue, C. W. Heltnold, Janes Rcnziehauscn, J. S. Wlghtraan and George A. Treuscb, ex members of the committee. The answer admits all of the first seven ection, which contain a history of W. J. llouard, the plaintiff; a complete record of the membership of the Finance Committee since 1888, together with a history of the bonded debt of the city, the laws and ordi nances creating a sinking fund, and also a del-tiled statement as to how said sinking iund was invested. Amount In the Sinking Fond. According to present ordinances and law's about 400,000 a year is being placed in the sinking fund, and this amount will be largelv increased lrom time to time. The aggregate amount o. the sinking fund on October 1, 1890, wrs $3,093,497 90. of which nmount $2,009,876 18 has been invested in interest-bciriug jecurities and 1,083,621 72 is in cash and is now deposi ed in the Free hold, Farmers' Deposit National, Alle gheny National and First National Bankr. Said deposits are not drawing interest. The cghth iaragr.ph of the Howard bill sets torlli the necessity of the appointment of u financially responsible trustee or trustees. It lurther claims the defendants hare re fused to apply the sinking fund to the pay ment of the city's bonded debt. The answer avers lhat the city has no authority to appoint such trustee or trustees and that the management and control of said fund is in the control of City Councils. Tr.ev also deny they have refused to pledge the sinking Iund for the payment of the lunded debt. Mr. Howard in the ninth paragraph held that the binkinj; fund was controlled bv a Finance Committee, the members of which were not chosen with anv regard to fitness or qualification, r.nd, in iact, tbe committee u.is x holly irresponsible. Appended to this w it a list of the biographies ol tue members, 'ihis section concluded with the statement that the committee was irresponsible and not superior to temptation. He claimed that the committee, by resolution in 1868, pro hibited the Controller from making any in vestments of the sinking fund without its consent. The idea, he claimed, was to inke it impossible for the Controller to buv any bonds, thereby leaving a large cash bal ance in the hands of the delendaut banks. Every Item of It Denied. To thi they rtply wrth a dental of any and all charges that the defendants acted lrom improper motives or were influenced by motives other than tbe welfare and pros perity of kaid city and the interest of the taxpayers and bondholders. They also claim that the facts set forth do not bear nit the allegations, W. A. Maree, A. C. Robertson. H. P. Ford and G. L. Hnlliday. each individually denying that they tried to increase the cash deposits in the interest of the banks. Paragraph 10 set forth that when the city depositories were each compelled to have a capital stock ol foOO.000, the Freehold Bank was not a city diponitory, but by a special ordinance repealing all other ordinances that bank was made eligible. They admit the statements in paragraph 10. Said action, however, was not taken lor the benefit and profit of said bank, but for the city and its creditors. The eleventh section claims that the or dinance was passed for the sole purpose of making the Freehold Bank one of tbe de positories, and the answer of the committee limply says they do not know what motives may have inspired Councils at that time. Section 12 claims that from (600,000 to 800,000 of the city money is on deposit in the Freehold Bank from April to August each year, and about S2S0.000 is there on permanent deposit without interest. It further claimed that said money was used by C. L. Magce and his associates in busi ness, and it further alleges thatseveral mem bers of the Finance Committee were directly or indirectly connected with the Freehold Bank. The reply simply denies that their money Is a permanent deposit, and also that any improper influence was exetcised In the election of the Freehold Bank. borne More of the Allegations. In paragraph 13 it is alleged that John Paul of the Freehold Bank, and J. McM. King, of the Allegheny National Bsnlr, are both interested in tbe management of tbe city money, and members of the Finance Committee, and therefore criminally liable under the law for nsing public money for private gain. In the answer both gentlemen simply deny that thev were guilty of any improper conduct as members of the Finance Com uiitiee. Under the next section John F. Steele oasbler of tbe Freehold Banc, is represented es treasurer of the Dunuesne Traction Com- Wi li -5&ft& M "$tat. . 7 ' - ' hi il'lsfinsTlli ?nSfls-liiilssliis?T'lll ilini li1""- f' ' Aitikti& '-fe - ...5itb.,lli'.'3i,lAt.i j; sMliitfKarSislt The holilinir of the second office It declared to be in di fiance of law. Answer is made to this by the committee by a disavowal of any knowledge of the facts. In paragraph 15 it is declared that the monev on deposit is let out at interest for which the city gets no return. The defendants admit that such is the case, but do not know know how any bank would pay interest on deposits that are sub ject to check. The defendant! think tbe money is sife. By "paragraph 15 the plaintiff cites or dinances and law compelling tbe invest ment of the sinking fund, and alleges that .Councils have utterly refused to comply with such requirements, but are held for the benefit of b ink depositories and others. This paragraph is simply denied and claims that they have acted in their best judgment. In paragraph 16 the plaintiff summed up all the demands of the bill and asked for the appointment of a responsible trustee, who would invest tho city money for tbe benefit of the taxpayers. The defendants deny, generally and spe cifically.any and all allegations contained in said bill; th.it any or all action on their part in reference to the care, cus tody, management or use of any of the sinking funds of said citv was based upon any other than proper motives looking to the interest and welfare of the city, its taxpayers and creditors, and each ol said defendants for himself individ ually joins in said denials. They aver that all of said action on their part wag the re sult of their best judgment, Ionising to no other interests thau those ot.the citv, its tax payers and creditors. They therefore pray that said bill be dismissed with their reason able costs. ANXIOUSJ-OR PROOF. Controller Morrow Makes a Itrlpf Denial of All the Statements He Attended to A II Bis Duties Another Chapter Trom the Mayor and Treasurer. Controller Morrow also had his answer prepared yesterday. It consists mainly of a denial of all the charges that may have been made against him, and does not dwell on those against the committee. It is ai follows: First He neither admits nor denies too gen eral averments contained In said bilk but if essential or material in any manner, bo re quires that proof tbereot shall be properly made. Hecond For answer to sucn averments In the bill as mar in any manner affeot him or to winch he is required to make answer, he says: That as City Con troller of said city, he has recognised and falthtully attempted to perform his duty lit and about the Invest ent of all the sinking funds of said olty In tho manner provided by the various laws or acts of Assembly relating to said sinking fuuds, and tbe ordinances of the Councils of the said city of Pittsburg passed In pnisuance tbcroof. That said funds were by film from time to time invested as by him set out In his an uual report made to the Councils of said city. Thai owing to differences of opinion existing between hhu.elf and tho Finance Committee of the Councils of said city, there was for sotuo time no Invest ment made as shown by tbe oxhiblt attache! to tbe plaintiff hill. These differences were simplv and solely, however, in relation to the expediency of such investment at certain rates of Interest thenon. That be has been at all times, ana now is ready and willing to do and perform Ihe duty imposed upon bim by the acts of Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsyl vania and said ordinance;. Wherefore he prajs that tbe said bill against bim maybe dismissed at tbe 'costs of the complainant. K. 8. MORKOW. Mayor Gourlcy and City Treasurer Den niston in their answers admit the statements in the first seven paragraphs, and a psrt of the eighth, nnd neither admit nor deny those contained in tbe fourteenth and fif teenth. They declare the city gove'rnment is the only possible trustee and that tbe financial affairs are well managed. In regard to the ninth paragraph they have nothing to say regarding the histories of the mem bers of the Finance Committee, and claim ignorance oi any improper motives. They have no faith in trustees and believe such an arrangement would be a menace to the city. Regarding the statement in para graph ten they deny any official kuowledge of Couucils being influenced in the interest of any bankers. They deny that Councils has reiysed to provide for the in vestment of the sinking "fdnd. They also deny my authority to appoint trustees to take charge of the sinking mud. They also demand proof of tbe charges made. PEOPLE WHO COKE AND OO. Governor Campbell, of Ohio, was in the city for a short time yesterday, bound for balcm.

Cole in Part Tentllated, bnt Bis Wife Ee presses Herself. A HAN SUCCEEDS IN SHAKING A WIFE Yesterday's session of the Quarter Sessions Court presented its old-time appearance, family feuds being indicated strongly by the number of women in the lobby. During the long session of the License Clour t domestic infelicity had a chanoe to run riot, as there were no surety and desertion cases heard during jx weeks. The ball was opened by Becky Recko, of Braddock, charging Ellen Welsh, of the same place, with threats to kill, flourishing a knife, etc., at almost daily intervals since last Novem ber. Prosecutrix said sleep had been driven from her eyes. Ellen was an oratress, how ever, and tbe way she piled up grievances against Becky, when allowed to tell her story, made that lady stand aghast Mrs. Welsh pays the costs. E. Story swore that he has been obliged to Sleep out of his house two nights since March 5, to keep Joseph S. Dawson from murdering him. Joseph Baer testified to hearing delendant say be "would kill Story yet," but that Dawson was pretty full at the time. Payment of costs and the giving offSOO hail (o keep quiet lets Dawson off, and peace it again restored in Homestead. Settlement of One of Cole'i Cases. J. B. Cole, of the Fifth ward, Allegheny, wes called to answer a obarge of non-support preferred by Mrs. C. O. Cole. Sho stated that when there was company at their house Ihey had plenty to eat, bat very little at other times, and that this was largely provided lrom her income, derived from a former husband, and her son's exertions. She said her income had all been expended, and that she had not tho spending oi it. It appeared .thut after considerable bickering the wife left and went to live with her son. Mrs. Cole admitted that her husband had furnished her a six-room house and some money and provisions at times. Mr. Cole stated that he was willing to take care of Mrs. Cole, but he did not want to be run by her son, whom he characterized as rather a burden to carry. He further said that Mrs. Cole had him arrested, nnd while in durance she had nil the furniture carted off. Mr. Cole didn't relish tho idea of being separated from his children, but he teemed to think he would be willing to dis pense with tbe companionship of those of his predecessors. For the present Mrs. Cole will get 3 a week to go toward the nourish ment of the offspring of the last partner ship. An exceedingly youthful couple, named John aud Lizxie Harris, were called up.and Lizzi&sald they had been married since last August, and that her husband bad deserted her nine weeks ago. She said the trouble was that they were both jealous. Mrs. Harris' childish face and unsophisticated answers gave. her an advantage over her husband, who Is apparently of a rather taci turn disposition, though notmucb older than the wile. " Why John Got Bather Tired,. John, in defense, laid his wife had ac cused him ol infidelity until he could not endure her antics.any longer, and left. He also alleged that she had pulled his hair once, and had chased him with a cobble stone in her hand. Then he attempted to explain that if domestio infelicities could be sand-papered down he would live 'with her again, nut Lizzie came baok at him with the assertion that his story was not true, and that he had told her hit father would not allow him, and that he (the father) would send him to the Re'orm School if he renewed the connection. Tbe court decided that John must pav Lizzie $30 a month until after her baby is born, and then make further provis ion for her, and give bond in $500 to comply with the order. He gave the bond nnd was released. Lixzie will be 18 her next birth day. John R. Owings and Emma Owings were next before the Court Emma said John had married her when she was 16 yean old, and she doesn't look much older now; that the was his second wife, and that the first one was divorced; that he had JG4 a month in come from rents, and was abundantly able to care for her. She likewise thought she couldn't live with him on account of his treatment he, as she alleged, having chased her out of the house at the muzzle of a re volver. They were' married in 1883. She said John had also made her life miserable by taunting her with the fact that she hadn't brought him any dower. She said he had fed and clothed her very well. John denied the charges in toto, and attempted to set up, through his lawyer, John F. Edmuudsou, a defense on the ground that she did not alwavs conduct herself as a married woman should. Messrs. Edmundson and Rankin succeeded in making things quite lively for a time, bnt tbe court aid Mr. Owings must put up 55 1 week for Emma's support Bad Kissed and Made Up, R. A. and Mary Tiltou were, called, but they bad kissed and made up and did not ocenpy much time. Morgan and Ella Brooks, colored, were next disposed of. Ella is a fine looking woman. She is quite light, and he is in tensely dark, and both have good features. They have two children. Emma says Mor gan refuses to support her, and be admitted the charge, but said in defense that he was willing to provide for the two children, who are mere babies. He refuses to support Emma, as he says she does not'act as a mar ried woman should, but so far forgets con nubial propriety ss to kiss men on tbe street Othello, however, was mild-mannered, and showed no disposition to smother Desde mona. Judge Magee told Mr. Brooks to pnt up $3 50 a week to pay for the care of the children, and the Court would see to tt that their mother put them where they would be well treated and properly trained. Mrs. Grosscob had her husband ud for neglecting to pay her allowance for the past five weeks, as per Court order. Mr. Grosscob, through his attorney, tendered me iuui m '" auu care oona lor perform ance, but so far from being mollified, she in formed the Court that she wanted thp money sent to her; she didn't propose to go after it On this point the did not get any particular comfort. Last of the Desertion Cases. The last ill-starred couple were named Roadpelter, or Rbdenschozen, the District Attorney could not determine which. The husband was tenteneed to par hit wife $2 a week. She says the cannot live with himon account of his excessively convivial habits. During the hearing of this case Attorney John Bobb undertook to assist in translating the woman's story, and Interpreter Luty read tbe riot act to him. Mr. Robb wit silenced temporarily, bat lie soon broke out again. District Attorney Johnston at this point announced that the publlo business had all been transacted and the crowd dropped out, disappointed at not hearing the disposition to be made of Attorney Hall.

J. A. Burnett, tbe young minister who was dropped from the ministry of the R. P. Church at Wilkinsburg, because be expressed his belief in tbe famous "East End platform," is pot to be beaten down. He cannot preach in the R. P. Church, but he is holding Gospel services in Lohr Hall, Wilkinsburg, every Sunday. About 40 or 50 of his old congregation have gone with him, and he basell-attend-ed services every Sunday. All the young people of the congregation are on his side, and he is called the most popular preacher between Eat Liberty and Braddock. KOBE MONEY FOR CASH. Why Wilkinsburg Batchers Bldn't Raise the Price of Meat The Wilkinsbnrg butchers have not raised the prices of their meat since May 1, is their brethren in the city hard done. In stead, they have stopped the credit system entirely. , They demand cash in every instance, and detlare that they are perfectly satisfied, as their immunity lrom bad debts is more profitable than raising tbe prices. AITUR THE FIKE. The Barnes Safes Came Through the Seventh Street Ordeal Unscratched. Lsst evening the employes of the Barnes Sale and Lock Company completed the work of getting five of the large safes out of the ruins left .by tbe Seventh street fire.

Tbo conteutsin each instance were in perfeot condition, showing no trace of having been affected by the white heat of tbe conflagration. The safes are still there, monuments to tho superior workmanship for which the Barnes Com pany hat a national reputation. The heat wat to intense that the handles and dials were completely melted on" the front of tbe Supply aud Storage Company's sbfe, other wise all came throbgh the fiery furnace uninjured.
