through with." .
When Councils meet, next Monday, a
special committee will probably bo ap
pomtod to act in conjunction with the at
torneys and Chief Bigelow in any matters
that may come up concerning tho test cases
tinder the new street acts.
Chief Bigelow did not care to talk about
the matter vestcrdav further than to say
that ho anticipated Councils would take
some action such as above referred to, and
that apian for proceeding with improve
ments would bo decided upon by tho special
committee and the attorneys.
His idea is to have test cases brought on
the Aiken and Center avenuo pavings. A
force of men are at work on both, and the
former will be completed In about three
days. M. A. Woodward, Esq., has consider
able property on this avenue. He will resist
payment on It, and compel tho city to go to
the higher court with his case.
Happy Because tho City Is Safe.
Chief Elliott, of tho Department of Chari
ties, said yesterday; "I am glad Pittsburg at
last lias some street laws, and particularly
glad that tho city will not lose $2,000,000.
Chief Brown said: "Tho passage of the
curative act pleases me more than anything
else. People who aro benefitted should pay
for it."
Adjutant General McClelland When peo
ple charge that the Governor can be influ
enced, rney aon i jsnow me man. xusiguiiig
the Pittsburg street bills, his duty was clear.
"When bills are brought to the Governor
fully within the bounds of the Constitution,
and" which have been pointed out by the Su
preme Court, there is nothing else for him
to do but sign them. If the Pittsburg
street bills are wrong, the responsi
bility rests with tho Supreme Court
and not with the Executive Depart
ment or the Legislature. Governor Pattison
would never approve vicious legislation.
If the Governor is blamed for his approval
it is done by thoso people who think the
charter bill is in the list. My understanding
was that tho people wcro not opposed to the
street bills, and everybodv should remem
ber that the charter amendment was with
drawn. The Governor was not influenced in
the least, you can depend upon it, and he
has done what he thinks is right.
A Monument to Flinn Proposed.
A. C Eobertson said: "What the people of
the city should do is erect a monument to
Senator Flinn. Ho is a public benefactor.
If someone had been at Harrisburg when
the Penn avenue act was knocked out and
introduced this curativp system, the sum of
$8,000,000 for street improvements would
neer have been baddled en the
citj. But unfortunately there was
no'man in the Legislature who had the hust
ling capacity. The street bills were care
fullv framed to keep within the limits of tho
Constitution. At every point tho avenues
weie left open for a dissatisfied property
owner to cuter his protest s in court. Under
the new law it will be a mighty slowprocess
to get new streets paved and graded, but it
will be done light."
C. A. O'Brien, one of the counsel for Bein
hauer et al, on whoso appeal the street cases
arose, said that, while he supposed the Gov
ernor had done what he thought best in ap
proving tho curatirc legislation, his action
would not prevent the matter from being
again tested in tho Supreme Court, and also
said there would be no trouble for the City
Attorneys in finding testing material. Mr.
O'Brien cited a num'jer of decisions on the
subject, and said he could not see how tho
Supreme Court could do otherw ise tban de
cide that curative legislation could not bo
applied to mend an inlraction of fundamen
tal ngnrs, or words to tnat cneci.

A PIECE OF BELTZHOOVEB SOD
Causes
Considerable Trouble and Three
Suits Before an Alderman.
Three criminal suits were entered before
Alderman Hartman, j esterday, which, it is
said, resulted from a dispute in relation to
the ownership of a small piece of sod. The
suits as entered are: Minnie Ilaus against
Bridget Brow n for aggravated assault and
battery; John Haus against Patrick Brown
for disorderly conduct and assault and Mary
fcicbtrt against Mary Bi own for assault and
battery. The Haus and Bnvnii families are
neighbors and reside in Beltzhoover
boiough. Tho allegation in tho cases is that
the children of tho two families hud been
playing together and had carried a lot of sod
belonging to ono of the families into tho
yard adjoining and when the time came to
return it a dispute arc-e as to the ownership
of one certain small piece.
The quai rel was kept up until the heads
of the families were drawn into tho
fight. In tho melee, it is said, that Bridget
Bron n threw the piece of sod in question,
and hit Minnie Haus. John Haus savs he
w as taking no acti e part m the t rouble, but
received a blow from Patrick Brown, n ho
threw a paling which had been torn from
n partition fence. Mary Siobert says she is
a servant girl in the Haus family and was
watching tho fun, when Mary Brown
walked up to her and hit her.
"WANT TO BE EDUCATORS.
Scores of People Appljing for Positions in
tho High School.
Tho Central Board is in danger of being
completely swamped by tho number of ap
plications that pour in upon it from all
quarters of the United States for the various
positions in the High School. Educators,
large and small, old and young, male and
female, to an unlimited number, are anxious
to contest with the "Dean Furies" for su
premacy in the High School. The applica
tions, some of them at least, will probably
be presented to tho board this evening by
Secretary lleisfar.
The meeting is expected to bo an interest
ing one, as Miss Xobbs, the very much-discussed
young lady, will receive further con
sideration, and many features of her school
career hitherto untouched will be revealed.
LEFT ONE AT THE H0BGTTE.
Mary Xorke Died "While Belns Carried In
Her Esther's Arms.
Tcsterday morning John Yorke, of Goff,
Westmoreland county, brought his two little
children, Alice, aged C, and Mary, aged 2
years, to place them in St. Paul's Orphan
Asylum. While coming clown from Union
station the younger child died in his arms,
and his uuiden was deposited at the morgue
instead of at the orphanage.
Mr. Yorke said ho did not even know the
child as ill. His wife had died in March
from tho cflects of a fall received in Eng

CHILDREN'S GALA DAY
June 6 Selected by the State Grange
for Young Folks to Pay Jolly
Court to Queen Flora.
PITTSBURG MAY TAKE PART M IT.
Mayor Gonrley to Consult To-Day With
School Superintendent luckey
on the Matter.
SCHENIET PARK FOR THE CELEBRATION
Of a Holiday That Is Expected to Biral Allegheny's
Famous Jubilees.
Children's day at Schonley Parle is tho lat
est idea of some of Fittsburg's public spir
ited men. It is probable that a regular an
nual holiday for the amusement and benefit
of the younger generations will become a
fixed institution in this city. Allegheny has
taken tho lead in this to some- extent by
holding children's Jubilees in tho parks on
the closing of tho school terms, but Pitts
burg has a better opportunity than her sis
ter across the river. Thousands of little tots
who seldom get a view of anything pleas
anter than high brick walls and are
as unacquainted with green fields
and trees as they are with the
jungles in Africa are caged up in the city all
their lives. In New York and other larger
cities charitable peoplo have for years been
taking these city children out Into the
pretty groves in the suburbs for a day's
romp. But it is not tho poor alone who need
tho invigorating effects of a day in the
woods. Hundreds of children of well-to-do
and even wealthy parents seo little the year
round except school books and indoor pleas
ures. Feast Day for the Court of Flora.
The State Grange of Pennsylvania, recog
nizing the necessity of some such custom as
this, has taken action toward setting a cer
tain day when children all over the Com
monwealth shall be allowed the privilege of
enjoying themselves to the fullest extent.
With this in view the following circular has
been sent out:
To the Patrons of Husbandry of Pennsylvania;
Fursuant to resolutions adopted by the National
Grange, the Worthy Master of that body has, by
proclamation, set apart the 6th day of June, 1891,
as Children's Day, and in conformity with the de
sire that all granges of the land may observe the
same day, I hereby select the 6tb day of Jane as
Children's Day in Pennsylvania, and trust that all
good patrons wlU so observe it as to make tt also a
feast day for the Court of Flora. Let this day be
made memorable by fathering flowers and deco
rating our grange balls, so as to make them en
chanted gardens. Hold meetings for the young
people, and let tbe hours be occupied in recitations,
songs and instrumental music, and a banquet for
the children. 1 trust natrons will lav aside all
work on that day, and strive to make it memorable
in our grange history. Fraternally,
Leoxakd EnoxE,
, Master State Grange Pennsylvania,
Attest:
B. II, Thomas.
Secretary State Grange of Pennsylvania.
Children's Holiday at Schenley Park.
The idea of the people of Pittsburg joining
with the Grangers in tho observance of June
6 as Children's Day gives promise of becom
ing a very popular one. In years gone by
the city has had no suitable place in which
to hold any special outdoor ceremonies. The
gift of Mrs. Schenley has supplied the much
needed ground. Nowhere in the State is
there a tract of ground more suitable for a
monster picnic of school children1 than
Sohenley Park. Mayor Gourley promises to
lend his aid in getting such a procedure un
der way. In speaking of it yesterday he
said:
"I am heartily in favor of giving the chil
dren a holiday in the woods, and what bet
ter place could be imagined than our new
parki The subject is ono which all fair
minded people cannot butregard with favor,
and I believe it will meet with hearty accord
all around. Every man can remember whei
in his early boyhood days school was closed
down for a few hours and all the scholar
went trooping to some favoiite grove under
the guidance and care of the teacher.
Those school picnics were the bright spots
In tho life of many a youngster.
"The old custom should not be allowed to
die out and children in crowded cities are
much more in needed of such recreation
than those in the country, but in these days
thoyseldom have the opportunity. Older
people are inclined to lorget how much
young blood needs sunshine and pure air,
but I am sure tho average parent will hail
with delight tho prospect of a day in tho
woods for the little ones, when once their
attention is called to the necessity.
An Annual Outing in Prospect.
To-morrow 1 will hold a conference with
Superintendent Luckey, of the Central
Board, with a view to securing a holiday for
the children, June 6. It would be much the
better plan every year to have all the schools
closed on the same day, and all the scholars
can attend a grand picnic in Schenley Park.
xne anair couiu ue gotten up wim compara
tively little expense. Children will not re
quite much else to amuse them when they
have 400 acres of pretty hills and valleys to
frolic over.
"The greatest trouble would be in getting
tho children out to tho park, but I think in
many cases the mothers would be willing to
go with their little ones to look over them.
If each of the schools went in a body suita
ble arrangements might be made with tho
traction companies to carry them out at re
duced rates. Once in the parks everything
would be easily managed. There are no
places where the little ones would bo liable
to get hurt and a few extra policemen could
keep anv from getting lost."
Chief Bigelow thinks the idea a good one.
"Tho park is for the people," said he, "and no
part of the people could enjoy it more tban
tho children."
Chief Brown will supply all tho necessary
protection for tho youthful picnickers In the
way of extra officers.
June 6 comes on Saturday, and this year's
ohservanco of the day will not necessitate
tho losing of a day's work in the schools, to
which some might object. It has been ar
gued that the Fourth of July celebration
will provide ample opportunity for tho chil
dren to enl oy the pi casures of the park. But
it is well known that many parents would
object to allowing their little ones to go to
tho park when It was so crowded with older
people. A special day for the children is
considered a much better plan.
It is now thought that the Allegheny
school children will have to do without
their annual jubilee this year as there is not
enough money in the appropriation to pay
the necessary expense. It would come on
Friday, June 26, if held at all, and an effort
may bo made to raise the money by volun
tary subscriptions.
DIDN'T HAVE A QTJ0ETJM,
So No Action Could Be Taken on Miss Pat
ton's Caso Last Evening.
The special meeting of tho Board of Di
rectors of the Allegheny General Hospital
did not materialize last night, according to
the statement of tho members. The meet
ing was to consider the charges preferred
against Miss Patton, the head nmse, by the
Ladies' Auxiliary. Tho basis of the charges
was that Miss Patton was not a Protestant.
Five members of the board were present
and went into session in the office of tho
hospital at 8 o'clock. The discussion was
long and excited. Voices could be heard on
the outside and several of tho members
paced restlessly up and down the floor.
After a session of rwo hours and a half a
doctor of divinity blandly gave out the in
formation that as a quorum was not present
nothing had been done. Thcv had not even
mentioned tho case of Miss Patton and had
only been exchanging confidence and listen
ing to each other's stories.
TWO MEAN CHICKEN THIEVES.
A Eight Over the Last Remaining Hen
Causes Their Downfall.
Dr. A. J. Barchfleld, of South Eighteenth
street, has been troubled lately by somo
person or something making away with his
poultry. A few weeks ago he had 47 fine
chickensiin one coop and one night 25 of
them disappeared. A watch was placed, but
the chickens would disappear at the rate of
t o or three at a time, until ail but three
were gone. Yesterday morning about. I
o'clock he heard a loud noise in the coop.
A visit to the coop revealed the fact that
tv. o largo dogs were in there and having a
rough and tumble fight over the carcass of
tire only remaining chicken. The doors of
tho coop were closed, and Officer Beers, of
the Southside police, was sent for, who
riddled the dogs with bullets. Although the
doctor has no chickens left, ho thinks there
is satisfaction in knowing that the thieves
w ere apprehended.

BEAT HIS LITTLE DAUGHTER.
An Italian Tents His Wrath on His Child,
and She May Die.
Inspector Whitchouse was notified last
night by Miko Erininado, an Italian, who
lives near Roquet street, Oakland, that
Frank Scalles, who lives near him, had beat
and kicked Mary Scalles, his 9-year-old
daughter, Sunday morning, so severely that
she is not expected to live. The Inspector
visited the house late last night and found
the girl in a critical condition. A physician
was called in, and after an examination
found the girl suffering from internal in
juries. Mrs. Scalles, the mother of the child, told
the officer that her husband arose early Sun
day morning, and began quarreling with her
over somo money. He struck her several
blows with his fist, and then chased her out
of tho house with a hatchet in his hand. The
child then interfered, and Scalles turned on
her. He struck her in the face with his fist,
knocked her down and kicked her in the
stomach with his heavy hob-nailed shoe.
Scalles then left the house and has not been
seen since. The girl was placed in bed,
where sho has been since suffering intense
pain. Inspector Whltehouse has a clew to
Scalles' whereabouts and expects to arrest
hint soon.
FAYING OFF AN OLD DEBT.
The Monongahela Navigation Company In
creases Its Capital Stock.
A full meeting of the stockholders of the
Monongahela Navigation Company was hold
yesterday afternoon, and the issue of 6,000
shares of new stock authorized. Tho par
value of each share is $50, which makes tho
increase in capitalization $300,000. With this
increase the total capitalization of tho com
pany is about $2,000,000. The cause of the
new stock issue Is to make up $300,0000 which
was paid out in construction and for which
stock had never been Issued. The excess of
cost over the original capitalization has
been caused by tho erection of more dams
than -was originally intended and for im
provements on the original one.
As stated yesterday Dy Mr. Bakewell and
Secretary AVood, 'most of this $300,000 was
spent in the erection and Improvements on
Locks 4, 3 and 7. Part of it dates back to
1881. When the work was completed bonds
were issued instead of stock, and this new
atock is to be issued only as these bonds be
come due. The entire amount of the now
issue will not be made for five years. The
meeting, of course, was private, but the
officers say there was no friction.

HELP FOR STRIPRS.
Master Workman Wise Secures a Neat
Sum in a Few Hours, and
TAKES IT TO THE COKE REGION.
Important Meeting of Tin Plate Manufact
urers To-Morrow.
PLUMBERS' APPRENTICES CALLED OUT
Peter Wise, Master Workman of District
, K. of L., comprising tho greater portion of
the coke region where the strike is now in
progress, was in the city yesterday after
noon. He came bore for the purpose of so
curing money for the strikers. Ho was very
successful, for in three hours' time he had
collected $1,100. Of this amount Mr. Wise
received $300 from a committee represent
ing L. A. 6111, Green Glass Blowers. The
committee is composed of J. M. Miller, J.
A.Kambach, Jorrold Bun ton and George
W. Metzgar.
Mr. Wise left last night for Scottdale,
where a mass meeting ot strikers will be
held to-day and the money distributed. At
this meeting a vote will also be taken on a
question that affects tho honor of the strike
leaders. The company's officials have been
claiming that the men would haye returned
to work long ago had it not been for the
leaders holding them out. Mr. Wise pro
poses to have them vote on the question of
returning to work, and let tho peoplo say
for themselves whether they want to return
to work or not under the company's rules.
Claims Made by the Strike Leaders.
Mr. Wise was seen by a Dispatch reporter
yesterday evening. He puts a different
light on some of the reports sent out from
the coke regions. He said: "There aro not
more than 3,000 men at work in the region,
2,000 of whom are union men, working under
union rules, and tho remainder aro non
union men, and composedmostly of Italians,
Thero are 13,000 idle men yet in the district,
very few of the strikers having gone a-n ay.
Not over 2,000 families have been evicted,
and the majority of those have been given
shelter In tents and shanties. The Knights
of Labor have assisted us nobly, and none of
our men are in bad circumstances.
"The companies have endeavored to make
the public believe that our men are starving
and that we are losing them from our organ
ization, because they cannot pay their dues.
That is not true. On tho contrary, our or
ganization is growing stronger. On last Sat
urday evening we received 24 members in
one assembly. I have never thought, nor do
I think vet, that we are conducting a losing
fight. Tho companies are not sending up as
many men as thoy are claiming to be sending
and many of those who are sent do not re
main. We are active, and it does not take
much work to induce the men to leave nearly
as fust as they get there."
Mr. Wise also talked about the work done
at the mines, and said that the companies
were running more cars than tonnage. "Box
cars are sent out half loaded," said ne, "and
trains are taken out in the day, taken back
at night, and removed again the next day
for effect." He told a story about certain
rumors that have been afloat in Scottdale
for the last ten days about an explosion that
is said to have occurred there last Friday a
week, in which a number of men were re
ported to have been killed.
Other Sensational Rumors Afloat.
Mr. Wise, of course, put little credence In
the story, but insisted that it was the talk of
tho place that the accident had occurred,
and the only man In the Adelaide mine
where the accident occurred, who escaped
death, is an Italian who had been kept in
the mine to prevent the news of the ex
plosion from getting out. To further sup
press it, it was reported that the following
night coffins were seen being carried from
box cars and reloaded the same night.
Two cars loaded with new men were taken
to the valley last evening. Work has begun
at Hawkeye, ten men working in tho yards
and three cars were shipped yesterday.

the labor leaders for sympathy. They
stated they were from Redstone and had
been hired in Pittsburg to act as guards and
protect property but instead thoy claimed
they were asked to escort blacklegs to work
and nssist in making evictions, wliioh they
refused to do. They were viewed by the la
bor leaders as being too slick for deluded
workingmen as they tried to appeal and
wcro turned down as spies of the coke com
panies. The bringing of new men into the
region was resumed by the Frick Company.
A call was made at the H. C. Frick Com
pany's office yestorday but Mr. Frick is ab

Campbell Slashes Bill Madden Across the
Forehead "With a Razor.
William Madden alias Delaneyand John
Campbell got into a dispute which they
adjourned to the Allegheny river, under the
Eleventh street bridge to settle. Thoy were
accompanied by Ed Fitzpatrick, who pro
posed to act as referee. When they squared
off Campbell, who is much the larger man,
drew a razor and attacked Madden, slashing
himacrosstheforehead. Severalcuts across
tho breast of Madden's coat testify to tho
further attempts of Campbell to injuro
Madden, but tho one over the forehead was
tho only one that did any inj ury. Afters ard
Madden renewed the attack when Camp
bell was not expecting it, and had almost
vanquished his oig adversary, when Officers
Connelly, Glenn and Peoples came upon tho
scene. Campbell fled to the Allegheny side
of the river, but Madden and Fitzpatrick
were corralcd.

late last night at the house of Kato Gleason,
at 1220 Penn avenue, where he was hiding.
DEFENDS THE LEGISLATDBE.
Mr.
Marshall Tells "Why Ho Opposed tho
Baker Reform Bill.
Representative W. T. Marshall, of Alle
gheny, went to Harrisburg last evening.
He defends the Republican House, and
claims tho party has redeemed its pledges.
The road bill was passed, but the Governor
killed it, and as for tho Baker reform bill, ho
voted against it, because he couldn't see
that it was an improvement on the present
voting system, and he discovered that many
of his constituents did not like the measure'.
Mr. Marshall says the country people ob
jected to tho measure, and ho can't see that
tho people have a right to complain on thi3
score.
A. C. Robertson, who was listening tp tho
conversation, remarked that the Legislature
should begin to make at least a stagger at
Ballot reform, as the time was coming when
tho Australian system, in one form or an
other, would bo adopted all over the coun
try, and Pennsylvania might as well be in
the van as in tho rear.

chased up to the belfry and made prisoners.
The names given by the men aro fictitious.

CALLED HMUfiDEE.
Verdict of the Coroner's Jury on the
Death of Henry- Schample
AT FKEESPOKT PICNIC GROUND.
Cherry Held as Principal, Ptothranff and
Quinn Accessories.
SYNOPSIS OP THE TCSTDMNT TAKEN
Coroner McDowell held an inquest yester
day at McKeesport on tho body of nenry
Schample, and Stewart Cherry was held re
sponsible for the mnrder, while Samuel
Rothrauff was held as accessory. All the
others who were arrested were held as wit
nesses.
John Langsdorf testified thathe was in tho
party en route to tho picnic at Auberle's
Grove and saw the flght. Ho heard the
crack of a board and saw Schample fall.
Stewart Cherry had a board in his handand,
ran up over the hillside. He didn't know'
what the trouble was about, but thought it
started about a colored man. He heard shots
after Schample was knocked down and saw
Theodore Shafer with a pistol in his hand.
Edwin Jones I was in the party that
started for Auberle's Grove. Schample and
Rothrauff had a fuss against a fence.
Neither had weapons. Later I saw Schample
lying on the ground, and then I saw a man
in a light suit of clothes running over the
hill. Identified Cherry as the man. He
saw no other person assault Schample.
Shafer tried to stop the trouble. I did not
see him have a pistol, but heard shots fired.
Testimony of the Physicians.
Dr. J. O. McKee I attended Henry Scham
ple. Saturday evening he. complained of
chilliness and pain in the head, and was
bleeding from the right ear. I did not think
he was seriously injured. He asked me for
something to relieve tho pain In his head. I
gave It to him and left. Was called next
day at noon, and got there Just as he was
dying. I held an autopsy, assisted, by Dr.
Burlington, and found that death was caused
by an Internal hemorrhage. There were
no apparent signs of disease. Such symptoms
as I found Saturday would be caused by a
blow.
Dr. Burlington corroborated the above
testimony.
Auberle, owner of the picnic ground, saw
the trouble. He saw Schample hit on tho
head with the fence picket, but did not see
what Schample was doing at the time. Saw
Shafer shoot twice at tho man who ran up
the hill.
Thomas McKee saw the flght, and saw the
man disappear over the hill, but did not see
mm nave a ciud. lie saw snaler snoot.
William Warchsford saw one man knock
another down with a club, and recognized
Cherry as the man who struck th e blow. He
struck Schample from behind. He saw
Schample jump on the colored man's back.
Ho Wm Present and Saw It All.
Thomas Andre was in the party, ne saw
Schample and Rothrauff fighting and Shafer
part them. He saw Schample knocked down
and saw the man Cherry go up over tho
hill. There were no shots fired before
Schample was hit. No one hit Schample
while down.
James Gray came out of the picnic
?Tounds while the flght was going on and
ried to part the men. He got a black eye
and then started for McKeesport. He did
not see any person strike Schample.
Thomas Shafer testified that Cherry met
him and introduced himself as an oil driller.
They had a drink and then started for the
grove. They decided to take tho colored
man along because ho could sing, and
Schample was sent for him. Fiddler called
him aside and said there was going to bo
trouble. Thero was a row at the gate, but
he did not know how it started, witness
went in to helu Schamnle. Ho saw Scham
ple fall, but did not know who struck him.
He took Schample to his house and called a
doctor.
Charles Fiddler's testimony was some
what similar to the above.
Thomas Quinn testified to tho caue of
the flght being the colored man, as Roth
rauff said he had been imposed upon by
Schample. This started the row. He di
not see Schample hit.
Samuel Rothrauff testified that Schample
jumped on the colored man's back. He did
not see Schample hit with a board, but saw
Cherry run up over the hill.
This closed tho hearing, and the Jury
brought In the verdict as stated above. The
funeral of Schample, the victim, will take
place to-morrow afternoon, under the au
spices of the Odd Fellows.

MR. MAGEE ON THE STAND.
He Tells What He Knows About the Amos
- keag Engine Purchases Had No Pecun
iary Interest, Direct or Indirect Mr.
Guthrie Anxious For a Test
C. L. Magee was the only witness exam
ined yesterday in tho hearing In the Amos
keag engine contest before Commissioner
George R. Hamilton. Georgo' W. Guthrie
conducted the examination. Mr. Magee
said he first heard of the proposal to pur
chase two new engines through the news
papers, but could not recall the date. Ho
did not know of tho intended purchase
before the advertisement appeared. Chief
Brown might have had a talk with him be
fore, he could not tell, but he had no recol
lection of it before tho publication. The
witness might have advised Chief Brown to
purchase the Amoskeagenginesbecause they
were the only kind the city was using. Mr.
Magee had no clear recollection of the mat
ter, but if Mr. Brown had spoken to him, ho
certainly would have advised him to pur
chase Amoskeag engines. Mr. Magee did
not recollect any conversation with Mr.
Brown after tho publication of the adver
tisement; he did, howover, go with Chief
Brown to the Controller at Mr. Brown's
request in regard to the issuing of a warrant
for tho payment of the engines. The witness
did not go to seo Mr. Bron n on tho question,
but Mr. Brown came after him and asked
him if he had any objefttion to going on the
bond to indemnify the city if the warrant
was issued. The giving of this bond was
the suggestion of Chief Brown, and tho
amount of it was $10,000.
Mr. Magee did notj recollect any other
bondsmen being suggested. Mr. Elliot
never spoke to him on the subject, no
never knew of but one rem-esentatfve of tho
Manchester Locomotive Company in this
city; that was Mr. Elliot. It did not strike
the witness that it was at all irregular to
give a bond of that kind; he was satisfied, a3
the Manchester Locomotive Company was
responsible to him. Mr. Brown did not give
him any history of the case except that
there was a suit and that the engines wero
In servico and tho money should be paid, as
the company was demanding it. Mr. Magee
did not know of any expectation of a money
payment to any person in regard to the
engine transaction.
Mr. Elliot was the agent of the company
for years prior to his election to his present
position. Mr. Magee kn e w of no person hav
ing any pecuniary interest in the sale of the
apparatus to this city. In his ten years' con
nection with the Fire Commission he had no
interest In the sales to the city and knew of
no one who did. He never went with Mr.
Elliot to other places where he was trying
to sell Amoskeag engines, and never" went to
Wheeling with him for that purpose. Mr.
Magee did not know who authorized Chief
Brown to secure the bond. The witness did
not offer himself as bondsman because he
did not go about offering himself as a bonds
man. The presumable reason Mr. Brown
asked him was because he was Mr. Brown's
bondsman.
On cross-examination by Mr. Burleigh Mr.
Magee said that he had no pecuniary inter
est, either direct or indirect, in the giving of
the bond.
At the conclusion of this testimony Mr.
Guthrie moved that the defendants produce
the engines under dispute, and have them
tested for capacity, to see if they comply
with specifications. The Master took the
motion under advisement.
