SBWIWI8Slj8PBfflBMMBBBBHBlBBBBMBBBcg3 A TIRE-BOAT FRIEND Thinks Pittsburg's Large River Front age Should Have Much Bet ter Protection. PEOPLE WHO MAKE CLERKS TIRED. Too 3Iany Frills Slung Around Signatures on Hotel Registers by Some Cranks Who Travel. BOYS' CEiZE FOE BASEBALL SHOES. Sir. JTnlrie Proclaims His Faith in the Honesty of the Cmpire. Walter A. Ej-tinge is a Hew Yorker who has spent the last five or six days in the city. He had not been here for ten years and was much surprised at the growth and extension of the city. He thinks the transit facilities are second to none in the country. 3Ir. Eytinge was at one time on the Xew York Tire Departmeac and claims "fire fighting" as one of his hobbies. "When a DisrATCH reporter met him at the Du quesne Hotel yesterday he had been read ing an argument in which it was claimed that either a fire-boat or water-tower would be perfectly useless in a city like Pittsburg; the former because it could only play within & very limited distance from the river and the latter because the engines used by the city have not power sufiicient to drive water through it Mr. Eytings was very wroth over these statements. "The man who wrote that," he said, "had not the least knowledge of what he was talking about. He says that a fire boat would take a long time to get to the scene of a fire, and that a messenger would have to be sent to it to notify it of the fire. He also says that a number of high class engines could be purchased for the money a fireboat would cost, and that these engines would throw water as high as a water tower would. nttsburg TVell Located for a Fireboat. "All this is the sheerest nonsense, and show his complete ignorance of the subject In the first place, if any city is most admir ably situated for the purposes of a fireboat it is Pittsburg. You have about 18 miles of river frontage, and the shallow water makes it necessary that your boats are driven by side wheels or end wheels, the fastest method of propulsion known to marine construction. The necessity for employing side wheels would enable your fireboats to travel with as much speed as your engines do, and would beat the Uew York boats, which use propellers. Regarding notifying the boat of a fire; how is it done in 2ew York? By message? "Well, no! The boats have regular stations connected by telegraph with the Central station, and are notified in the same wav the houses are. "When the alarm comeb the man on watch disconnects the wires, the pilot signals the encineer, the cable is slipped automatically and the boat moves off to the fire under a full head of steam. A fire boat needs no m&re men than an engine company; that is, two officers and ten men, as in the New York department, and in the event of a pro tracted fire occurring, necessitating two or three days work and such a fire may oc cur the "engines can all be released, and the fire boat, resting easily at the wharf, can continue discharging volumes of water egual to the joint capacity of several en gines How? Very easily. The reason whv the capacity of the fire engine is lim ited is because to make it any stronger, and consequently more powerful, would necessi tate a vast increase in weight and make it difficult to haul, whereas the fire boat pumps can be made of unlimited capacity, and by means of Siamese connections can distribute eight or nine streams to any distance and tinder heavy pressure. Pressing Xeed of a Fire Boat ,"These are not simply assertions. They are facts, which have oeen demonstrated in New York, which has three fireboats, Bos ton two and Chicago one. This city needs a fireboat The fire on the river the other night would have been extinguished in 20 minutes by a 2f ew York boat, which would open fire from its 'blunderbuss' of ten streams and choke it by mere force -of pressure. "In a city where high buildings are the rule, a water tower is absolutely essential. The claim that the Pittsburg engines have not power enough to lift water through a tower is absurd, and is made be cause the author knows nothing about the apparatus. He forgets, or does not know, that the combined force of one, two, three or more engines if necessary can be centered in the tower, and a volume of water shot through it under a pressure which will deluge the biggest building in the city on very short order. I have traveled through the country fromJIaine to the slope and have visited every department be tween these points, and therefore can claim to know a little about fire matters, and I lel that I don't exaggerate when I say that this city only lacks a fireboat and water twer to'be as well equiped in fire-fighting facilities as any city in the country, for the eniines are of "a class that cannot be ex celled and the men seem to know their busi ness welL" TJHPIEES HONEST HEN. Jim Zffutric Puts in a Good "Word for These Abused People. "As a rule, umpires are honest men," said Jim Mutrie, when he was here with his ill-fateo star aggregation. "I find that players itir up feeling against the poor um pire to cvcr up their bad playing, and I wiU neve- permit the public or my men to abuse this ill-used man. I think Xew York is the best torn in the country for umpires. The audien;es are so cosmopolitan that the chances are the visiting club has as many friends in tjc grandstand as the home ag gregation. , "The cooleit and gamest umpire on the field is Lynch. I saw him once in New York when at let 300 men rushed into the diamond to us him up for making a close decision. 'Arei't you ashamed of your selves,' Lynch shouted to the excited people. 'I am only one man against so many, but I am not afraid of you.' This blast made them slink back into their seats, bit one fellow per sisted in calling him bad names. Lynch stopped the same and wouldn't al low it to go on until the big policeman put the man out of the grounds. He vowed vcasance on Lynch,ai.d.said he would wait for him outside. " 'Do you see that little gate therej said the umpire. ''Well, when the game is over I will ro out that way, and if you are there and have any accounts to settle with me I will be ready." Lynch did go out the gate, but nobodv was oa hand to molest nim. The crowd would lue pulverized the first man who dared to touch the plucky umpire." ABOUT EEGISTEEING NABES. Some of the People Who Make Hotel Clerks Very Tired. "Some people make me very weary by the way they register their names," said a hotel clerk yesterday. "Modesty should teach a man to put down his name and ad dress without any frills, and I must say for the majority of the people that they do it, but there arc some fools who make them selves ridiculous, and if they could only hear the comments made about them by those who look over registers, they would ".Now, there is the man who comes irom a backwoods town. He is ashamed of the place, and puts the State after his name. Mahone started this practice when he im agined he carried Virginia in his pocket, but he has found to his sorrow that he doesn't It certainly does look pretentious for a man to claim a whole State for his home, beside, it frequentlv gives us trouble to locate "him, if occasion should require it The other chap is as bad w ho put down no address at all. He covers the earth, you know, in his great ness, and frequently imagines that every body knows him. But the man with the title caps the climax. The egotism of some people is out of sight, but then I suppose hotel clerks see more of it than anybody else." PLENTY OF DBTLLING, But Mr. logon Says Little Money Is Being Mfulo In tbe Oil Business. A. H. Logan, the oil man, went to Phila delphia last evening to spend Sunday. He says everybody is complaining of dull business, but at the present time a grea; deal of drilling is being done, but not much money is made outside ofthe"Wildwood and McCurdy fields. The most drilling is going on at McDonald. The territory is covered with rigs which have been put up in the last two weeks. So farj the yield has been nothing, and it is too early to make any predictions. "W. P. Logan, "his brother, at one time thought he had made a great gas strike, but the well failed to pan out. The field this time is to be thoroughly tested. Mr. Logan says there is more money at present in lubricating than common oil. One barrel of the former is worth as much as four or five of the latter. A party of capitalists have leased 1,000 acres in the Slippery Rock district to bore for lubricat ing oil. A weU was commenced a week ago. HO ECIENCE IK BEEEDIKO. Everybody Can Have a Fast Horse In the Future. "Ten years from now there will be no science in breeding fast horses," said a local admirer of trotters yesterday. "The busi ness at present is in its infancy, but look at the pvgress that has been made in the last nine years. The trotting record has been cut down to 2:08Jf,and I think Sunol will im- I prove on it this summer. People are be ginning to learn that certain stocks when crossed produce very fast horses. The rules seldom fail, and in the future all you wiU have to do is to follow the advice laid down by breeders. This will have the effect to mats horse flesh very cheap, and every body can have a fast horse. "i am a great believer in blood. People claim Axtel and Allerton were accidents; but when the pedigree of Artel's mother was looked up it was found that she came from a great line of horses that were famous for their speed. Years, as a general thing, do not hurt a horse much until, of course, it gets too old. Goldsmith Maid found her speed at 17 years of age, and beat it when she was 19." CHOPS Iff A BAD WAY. "Western Men Flowing Up Oats Fields to Ke plant With Corn. C. B. Pitt, a member of a Hew York wholesale produce firm, was in the city yes terday going home. He had been in the Northwest buying butter and eggs and looking up the crops. Mr. Pitt says the dry weather has made produce very scarce, and unless it rains soon the prices are sur .5 to jump up. The demand for this kind of food stuff is great, and the supply is not equal to it In Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Northern Illinois it has not rained for six weeks. The dry spell has discouraged the tanners, ana in some places tney are plow ing up the oats fields to replace this crop with com. The grass is withered and the wheat seems blighted. The country has been swept with hot wind& ' Mr, Pitt said everywhere in the "West there is a strong feeling for Blaine. The people want him to De President, and whether Blaine refuses or not, the party should give him the 'honor of a nomination. He believes it would be easy to nominate and elect the Secretary of State. WELL EECOMMENDED HEBE. A Big Petition in the Interest of General "W. P. Edgarton. Since E. G. Bathborne, Chief Postoffice Inspector, has been made fourth assistant to Postmaster General Wanamaker, an of fice created for him, General Warren P. Edgarton, of Philadelphia, has been a can didate for the vacant place. A petition in his behalf has been signed by all the city, government and county officials in this lo calitv. The postofficeforce here is red hot for the Quaker City man. At present General Edgarton is inspector for the Pennsylvania and New Jersey dis trict It is claimed for him that he held commissions from every Postmaster General since 1872, except two years under Don M. Dickinson. The local people think there is no doubt about the General's appointment His only rival is a man from Tennessee. PATBI0TIC YOUNG AMEEICA. The Boys All like to Wear the Tellow Base Ball Shoes. In the windows of the city stores are dis played hundreds of pairs of "baseball shoes," and the." seem to catch the boys, as it is their chief ambition to go forth arrayed in "baseball shoes. The fad is not a bad one, as the shoes are cheap, and will last all summer. They are comfortable, too, and that is why they are used in baseball. "I don't know whether it is on account of the garni or the cheapness of the shoes," said Morris Baer; of Eauffman brothers, "but we sell just piles of those shoes. They are cheap, 69 cents a pair, and that mav be the cause. About the only leather in their make-up is the sole, yet ,they are very dur able, and will last all summer. i Demand for More Trains. The good people of Charleroi and other towns along the Pittsburg, Virginia and Charleston road are clamoring for more trains. They want a train put on that will leave Pittsburg between 8 and 9 o'clock in the evening. At present, on both the Pitts burg, Virginia and Charleston and Pemicky roads, a train can't be had after 4:50 in the afternoon. y Shad for Utah lake. Captain W. A. Dunnington passed through the city yesterday with 250,000 shad eggs to be placed in "Utah Lake. They were se cured at Havre de Grace. The Susque hanna is a great stream in the springtime for shad.

LOTS OP TRAYEL IS LOOKED FOR By the Local Agents of AH the Railroads Centering Here. SOMETHING ABOUT. DATES AND KATES The claim.has frequently been made that Pittsburg is one of the greatest excursion towns in the country, as it is also noted for its enthusiastic baseball cranks when the home club makes even a pretense at win ning games. If there is anything in life worth having Pittsburgers are bound to get it, and with all their hard work they man age to pull as much enjoyment out of the fire as this vale of tears will afford. "With the great lakes, the St Lawrence river, "White Mountains and the seashore in the East, they are blessed with a variety of re sorts near at hand in which to spend the summer that will please even the most fas tidious. The local excursion season opens to-day, with the first Sunday special on the Balti more and Ohio to "Wheeling. These excur sion trains will be kept up all summer. "When Judge "White's interpretation of. the Brooks law was the severest Wheeling was a very popular place with thirsty people on the Sabbath, but it has lost some of its popularity from this standpoint and has gained in many others. Other Openings in the Future. The excursion business to Ohio Pyle will be opened on Decoration Day. The regular excursion and tourist tickets for all Eastern points will be put on sale June 1. The "Western roads, owing to the jangle with the Chicago and Alton road, have not selected a date, but Mr. Clark, of the Lake Erie, thought they would decide on June 1 also. But what interests the average Pittsburger the most is the seashore, and it is needless to add that all the roads are making elabor ate arrangements to carry the people. The Baltimore and Ohio will' start the ball roll ing this season by the first popular excur sion at the old rate of S10 for 10 days to Atlantic City and Cape May on July 2. Division Passenger Agent Smith was congratulating himselt yesterday on the selection of the date, as it is only two days Deiore the iourthot July and Sunday loi lows the latter day, so that business men will lose but little time. The Baltimore and Ohio and Pennsylvania roads will al ternate during the summer with four ex clusions apiece, the Pennsylvania beginning July 9. The Season at Atlantic City. Speaking of Atlantic City yesterday Mr. Smith, of the Baltimore and Ohio, said: "Without doubt this seaside resort is the greatest of them all, and the hotels there realize that the place is popular with Pittsburgers. Look ing over our figures for last year I find the. Baltimore and Ohio carried 2,600 people to Atlantic City on the four excursions, the Pennsylvania had as many more, probablv, and altogether Pittsburg had 5,200 people to Atlantic City on popular excursions. Counting the tourist tickets there were from 6,000 to 7,000 people in all. These figures will give you an idea of the popularity of Atlantic City. I am looking for as good, if not a better business this season. I don't think the strikes will hurt the passenger traffic very much. As for Deer Park; and Oakland on our line, these mountain resorts always have as much as they can do to take care of their guests. f Deer Park is a very fashionable place, and is weu patronized ny fittsDurg people. Another feature of social life which marks this city is its usual summer progeny of picnics. xnanKs to the railroads, tney have supplied local patrons with several beautiful grounds that are hard to discount. When SchenleyParkisput into condition the roads may lose some of the Sunday schools, but they will never drop the secular organiza tions. These people will always stay With them. Three Beautiful Picnic Spots. It would be difficult to select three pret tier places for picnics than Alliquippa, on the Lake Erie road; Bock Point, on the Fort Wayne, and Idlewild, in the Ligonier Valley. J. W. Sloan, who represents the Ligonier Valley road, said yesterday that his company had spent this year 315,000 in creating and improving what he calls New Idlewild. Fifty dates for the summer have been taken already, and the picnic season proper will begin June 27 and continue through the first week in August Next Tues day a week the Braddock school children will open the new grounds with an old-time May jubilee. Mr. Sloan thinks other schools will follow the example. Bedford Springs and Cresson are becoming more popular every year. The Pennsylvania road intends to boom Bedford this summer by putting on a special train some time in June to run from Huntingdon to the Springs without stops. As for Cresson all the through trains will stop at this point On July 4, the Pennsyl vania will run a special excursion to Get tysburg at 7 50 for the round trip, less than one fare. It is intended for old sol diers, and in the future this excursion will be offered with the hops that an annual cel ebration will be held on the battlefield. The little LakfrErie always bobs up with somethinggood. About 55,000 have been expended improving the Alliquippa picnic grounds. Mr. Clark says the park was never in better condition. The dining hall has been enlarged, all the buildings repaint ed and a baseball field added. A few dates are left in July and August. New tanbark walks have also been made. Popular Excursions to Niagara Falls. The regular excursion rate to Niagara Falh this year will be ?10 50, going into effect June 1. Later in the season popular excursions at 57 50 for ten days will be run on the Lake Erie and Allegheny Valley roads. Mr. Clark thinks the fishing club business along the lakes will be as good, or rather better, than last year. Many of the Pittsburg clubs urefer uoints between Painesville and Erie. Of course the upper lake region is always popular. The larger clubs have oiot contracted, as the members know where they are going and about what the rate will be. The people now understand that the local roads are not cutting much for competitive points. The business to Lake Chautauqua, the St. Law rence river and the White Mountains also promises to be very heavy. As a rule there will be no change in rates over last year. Yesterday Mr. Clark and District Passenger Agent Samuel Moody, of the Pennsylvania Company, made arrangements at Beaver for the picnic of the Amalgamated Association, which will be Tield this year on the Beaver fair grounds. What is true of the Lake Erie excursions to Northwestern points will ,snlv to the Allegheny Valley road. GeneHtl Passenger Agent James Anderson,-of this' line, never allows the grass to grow Tinker his feet, and he offers low rates and plenty of popular ex cursions this summer to Chautauqua, Niag ara, the St Lawrence and other Northern points. The passenger earnings of the Val ley are increasing very rapidly. A Great Summer Season Expected. Mr. Anderson believes that this summer will be a great one for excursions. He banks a little on the weather, and if it is warm Chautauqua will be overrun with vis itors in search of rest and cqol air. The Pennsylvania Company has a wonder ful picnic ground in Eock Point Colonel Moody says the place has been improved, and is in better shape than ever. The fact that most of the dates are already taken at tests its popularity. As for other points the Ft Wayne will probably have several popular excursions to Chicago and Cleve,- The Pittsburg and Western must not be forgotten iu the shuffle. This line has so. juuuy picnic grounds teat vou can take vour DlSPATCHfl SDMSSjnSES;. choice. The P. & "W. will carry a number of fishing clubs to Painesville and other lake points. General Passenger Agent Bassett is the author of cheap ex cursions to Chicago. Last year -he made a round trip rate of S9 00, and the chances are that later in the season the same low rate will be repeated. The "West is looming up as a great ex cursion pfntT Tlii Ttockv Mountains with I their beautiful falls and rivers offer rare at tractions to- visitors, xne xeiiowstoue Park is always a great object of interest Thomas S. Spear, of the Union Pacifio road, says his Hue offers low rates all the year around. The main excursion places are Colorado points, the wonderful Shoshonee Falls, the Columbia river dis trict and that natural curiosity, the Yellow stone Park. The only time it can be seen to advantage, indeed at all, is during the summer months. Visitors to the West Increasing. v Each year the list of visitors to "Western points is increasing, as the toepple grow tired of the Atlantic Ocean and sigh for the Western plains and mountains. Last but not least is the lake region, whjch holds out its arms of water to the tired mill men and the disciples of Izaak "Walton. P. E. Eandall, who represents the Detroit and Cleveland Navigation Com- J. pany, has decided to locate in Pittsburg. xie says ior some reason or ouier uio ycuyic in this section who intend to hold conven tions have a mania for Detroit This year his company will carry the G. A. R. delegates, Presbyterians and rep resentatives of other organizations who will meet in the eitv bv the lake. About 30- members of the Presbyterian denomination will leave here for Detroit next Wednes day over the Lake Erie road and on .the boat from Cleveland. Mr. Randall says he has already con tracted with a number of fishing clubs, and this year the lakes will be lined with camps. The Western roads have decided not to run any harvest excursions this year, as they demoralize the regular business. President Harrison Receives a Fort Pitt Spoon.

MANY TALES- OF WOE Aired by Combatants in Quarter Ses sions Court Yesterday. ATTORNEY J. P. HALL SENTENCED To Two Tears in the Penitentiary After His Present Term Is Out TESTEEDAI IN THE COUNT! COURTS Additional interest centered in yester day's session of the Quarter Sessions Court from-the fact that Attorney Hall was up for sentence. The convicted were all accom panied by counsel and pathetic pleas"were generally made. There were the usual num ber of women"and babies in arms, and they waited uneasily for their turn from 10 o'clock until noon. The' detention was as usual aggravated by the abominable acoustic qualities of the courtroom, which make it almost impossible to hear the Judges' re marks as far back as the counsel table, a distance of less than 20 feet. Could the victims hear, the monotony might be con siderably alleviated. Attorney D. F. Patterson occupied the attention of the Court for some time in ar ranging to" have a test case made of pro hibitory oleomargarine legislation. Mr. Patterson holds that the title of the bill and the legislation that it covers do not comport and that it is therefore unconstitu tional. A case will be made up. The band struck up when Fannie Win field had John Helm arraigned on a charge of having threatened to murder her and 'having offered indignities in the way of tossing her clothing at her when he fired her from his house. , Not Built to Pay the Costs. Fannie said she felt sure John meant to murder her, as he was built that way, mentally, he, as she alleged, having told her that if it were not for the law he would cut his wife's throat from ear to ear. Fannie's witness went back on her and she-was sen tenced topay the costs. Cora Williams and her husband lived with her mother-in-law in Beltzhoover borough, and the husband got out of work and she refused to live with him unless he supported her. The husband said he had done the best he could, but could not get steady work. The couple are very youth ful, and evidently started out with love-in-o-cottage ideas, but found that when wont came in at the door love flew out of the window. The husband must find 52 a week for Cora, or do the other thing. Frank Richardson, a watchman at the Black Diamond Steel Works, charged Peter Molly with surety of the peace. He said Peter persisted in coming to the works where he was not allowed, and made san guinary threats when ejected. Peter was ordered to pay costs and let off on his own recognizances. Threats Against a Sick Man. John Seeth deposed that Oscar Shafer wanted to whip nim, prosecutor, when he was siek of typhoid fever and also insulted his wife. The defendant replied in some sort of rubble or concrete of English and German that was very difficult to under stand. He was directed to pay costs and go into 5100 recognizance of his own. Lambert Buchanan's case did not present any special feature, other than the continued desertion of a wife and three babies. He must find 54 a week for them or stay in durance. Bridget Neigh sued James and Mary Carroll for surety, etc, and told how Negley's Euu was made to howl at times by their breaches of the peace. When Bridget got warmed up she could nbt be prevailed upon to stop until the Judge announced that she should pay the costs and a Deputy Sheriff took her in tow. The Judge called after him not to put her into East Shot in the Locker. May Hillen's husband was ordered to pay her 4 a week for the support of the children. He agreed with her two years ago to pay 525 a month, but when the city work shut down he found himself out of employment and went to Seattle, since which time he says he hasn't been able to make the pay ments agreed upon. He is a carpenter. The Court reduced the amount for the present to 54 a week. District Attorney Johnston announced that this was the last shot in the locker and court adjourned. OBJECTS TO THE WIBES. The Telephone Company Is Enjoined From, Occupying Morewood Avenue. A bill in equity was filed yesterday by E. I'M. Ferguson against the Central pistrict and Printing Telegraph Company. Mr. Ferguson stated that he owns the greater part of the property on both sides of More- 7rtrtl IVAnlia frin T?lftl. fl..annn tn X11n .. wu ui.uu., .uu. jh:..l.u UVGUUO bU JUJJ3 worth avenue. The street was never opened by the city and is not a public highway, but was laid out and graded and paved by the plaintiff, who owned that tract of JancL It is now a private way for the prop erty abutting on it On May "1 the delendant company went on the street and erected poles and strung tele phone wires from Filth avenue to Ellsworth avenue. The plaintiff protested and on May 6, Superintendent Metzgar, of the telephone company agreed to do no more work without the consent of the plaintiff. On Friday, however, work was again com menced stringing the wires. They already hare enough wires up to answer the needs of the property on the street, but it is claimed that it is the intention to put up a line to reach other parts of the city.

OLEOMARGARINE ARGUMENTS That Were All Prepared, but Not listened to by the Court Elsewhere reference is made to the fact that Attorney D. F. Patterson, counsel for the defendants in the oleomargarine suits, moved yesterday to quash the indictments, on the ground of unconstitutionality. Mr. Patterson held that though the United States Supreme Court had declared the act constitutional could be easily shown to be not 0, as its title violated the third section of the third article of the Constitution in not having the subject clearly expressed in it. Mr. Patterson said he would show that many cases had been so decided that were not nearly so pronounced in the omission as this one. Judge White did not want to hear an ar gument, so he suggested that the counsel take a pro forma rule.overruling the motion to quash, so that a case stated might be- agreed upon, as to the facts in the ''indict ment and the matter so brought before the Supreme Court for final determination, find Mr. Patterson did so.

"Hello, Boger," exclaimed an elderly, fihe-looking,. woman, yesterday afternoon, as she reached out her hand to the big Super intendent of Police, at Central station. Her face had once been pretty, but any beauty that it still possessed we're broken when, in speaking, she revealed a toothless set of gums. Her name is Bridget M. Morris,and she had just returned, from the workhouse and was shaking hands with Inspector Mc Aleese and the detectives. "How many years have you been in the workhouse in the last 20 years?" inquired Detective CouLaon. "About 18 or 19 years, I reckon. But law sakes, it's been the making of me.. I'd been dead. Ions' aeo if it wasn't for the works. It just builds a person up." "Suppose you'll have to celebrate to night and we'll have you here in the morn ing," remarked Inspector McAleese. "Not yet," replied the woman, "although I did get a good drink this afternoon. I've got plenty of friends. Judge Gripp's a friend of mine. 'Why, lost time he only gave me 30 days." With that she toddled off and Inspector McAleese said he did not believe there was any doubt but what she would be in a cell before morning. "She always celebrates when she gets out and we give her five days to jail and then next time we usually return her to the works." WESTINGHO USE ELECTBIC AEEATRS.
