The Siuoke Ordlnanco'Pops Up. Yesterday the ordinance regulating the' matter, and on which the ladies built their fight, was discos ercd. Although on Friday Chief Brown did not know whether such an ordinance existed, and said if it did he knew nothing about it, when Chief Bigelow w..s asked the same ques tion jesierday he was tnorougniy iamuiar with the subject Picking up a Thomson's City Digest, he quickly found the place. The ordinance is to beJbund on page 580, under the caption, "An ordinance granting to the Pittsburg Junction Eailroad Com pany right of way Irom the Monongahcia river to the Allegheny rh cr,,with a branch along the Allegheny river." It i as passed No-y ember 30, 1681, and can be found on page 273 of Ordinance Book No. 5. Section 6 of the ordinance isthc part which refers to the pre eution of smoke, and reads as follows: Text of the City's Authority. That bituinirous coal shall not be used as fuel in loeomotn es of said road, but thati coke or other non-smokc-producing Juel shall be used, and councils hereby rescrvo- the right to alter orinodify this section so as to require the use of smoke-consumers on said locomotives should the same, in their Judgment, be to the advantage of the city; prowded, that for any -violation of this j-cction. said companv, on com iction, sh.ilt forleit and ja the sum of $20 per day for each daj that am locomotive is so im- properlvn-cd: said "line or lorfelture to bp sued for belorethein-ijor or am alderman, of the c.ti, and be collectible as othei fine. and Jorfeiture- arc nou bj law collectible; and it i- hereby made the tfutj of the street or road commissioner to caue tho necessary information to be made whenever Ins atten-' tion shall bo properly called to unyv lolation. of this section. The Junction Bailrord Company, by a. dulv certified conv of a resolution passed by the'P.oard of Directors, accepted and agreed., to this ordinance in all its provisions and simulations This resolution was filed i ith; the City Controller, and can still be found .mini's omce. Tn fn.it unrtion of the citveode nerfairiin to llie goieniment of railroads in general, r the following stction ot an ordinance was found j e-terday, upon which the ladies base great hopes. An K en More Sweeping Ordinance. AVm-RtAs, The running or railroad trains through the inhabited parts of tho city is attended with great i Nk, and it is the duty of the citj to protect the citizens and other )cr-ons who are entitled to the u-e of Hie public streets, Ijy rea-onablc regulations for the running of said trains it Is hereby, pro "V ided that hereafter no trains shall be run upon or over am public street of the city of l'lttsbnrg betw ecu the outcrdepot ofanvrail roadcompim and my inner station thero ol, except in'accordancc w ith the follow mg regulations ob.tuminpn's coil or w oofl shall bo used in the engine of any locomotive einplojed in conducting trains upon auj railro.ul. speaking lurther ot the matter, Chief Bigelow said: "'I hae looked into this smoke trouble myself on scleral occasions during the past few years. I had no abso lute proof myself, and every time I called on the officials they declared that only coke was being used for fuel. As for the excuse that was ghen the ladies, that Baltimore and Ohio engines may occasionally go over the road burning sott coal, I inu-t say k isa rather thin argument. The ordinance in tends the prohibition of the use of bitum inous coal on that road, no matter what engines are used on it. If the ladies present their eompUints to me 1 will carry out tho duty imposed upon me by the ordinance. Alfthev need to do is to furnisli the wit- ncsscs." No Difficult in Getting 'Witnesses. Controller Morrow, when spoken to on the matter, said: "If witnesses only are needed, they certainly will not hate any trovble. Prom my house I can see engines puffing smoke on "the Junction road every daj almost. Immense black clouds are thrown out, but it is too far away to bother me cry much. "Why, for the past five or six years the smoke from the Junction road was'the only coal smoke we saw." Although the ladies Health Protective Association hac not et recehed an answer to the letter to the flavor of Chicago, THE Dispatch was able j cstcrday to secure the last report of the Smoke Committee of the Citizens Association of tliat city. It con tains tabulated statements of the firing de vices of all the firms visited, and it was learned that where smoke consumers were used, together with careful stoking, there was f can-ely any smoke and a vast saving or fuel. Concerning its work the committee rays: Some Observations or Investigators. The observations made extended to 533 establishments w here stcjnils in constant tic for . anous purposes including 633 boil ers, ot which 231 places have in uso dpices for the prc ention of smoke, and 99 ha e no apparatus for the purpose. The particulars are minutelj set forth in the tables prepared bj the expert. From an analjsis of these tables it will bo seen that, although tho devices in use ha c a very marked effect on the result as to w hether the smoke emitted from the chimnej s is x cry black oroffensive, so much so us to incline us lo tho opinion that a proper apparatus is almost indispensable for tho complete suppression of the snioko nuisance, yet we believe that tho greatest amount ot good can be accomplished by careful attention to tho tiring; and the use of a good quality of coil. l!v combining these three conditions an cthcicnt smoke-pre-x enling device, a lair equality of coal and carefnfflmig the offense arising from thp chiniaej in thebuslnessand inniiufactiriug jBirts of the city can be reduced to insignlb cancc. tood results lrox e been obtalnodjuy minjr lmg coke, or anthracite screenings, v ith soft roil, but that i practice! to but a small extent, anil its beneficial effect is com lnonsurale, after all, with the olerance of in oper conditions as to use, which ait! a part f. and included in the general term careful firing. vVo see, byoxiimtnatiou of tho tables given, that tho smoke arising from some chimneys where the poorest quality of coal is used Is reported as xory light, when ac companied by the observation of careful, or automatic mechanical stoking. A Prolific Source of Clack Smoke Tho practice of "crow ding the furnaces" with fuel is one of the most prolific sources of offensive smoko that we have to contend with; this is made necessary, or believed to be necessary, from thn insufficient size of boilers, or of chimneys, to perform their I work. Tho fires have to bo urged, to their utmost rapacity to Keep up me requisite amount of steam, and this Is done at a great waste of coal, the custom be ing to put on as much fuel as the furnace will hold, and then rake It out from below M hen insufficiently, or liot thoroughly, burned, to mnko room for a fresh supply abovc; tho result being tliattlioouteralr jjete nn amount of denso smoke that annoys tho public, while the proprietor of tho establish ment pays for a largo amount of fuel of whlchlio gets no benefit. Tho samo result occurs from heedlessness of engineers and firemen who, from indolcnco or ignorance, completely nil their furnaces with coal nt certain periods, and pay nofurtherattentlon to their flres until tho timo comes to glib the furnace a fresh charge of fuel; all chim neys w hero such practices obtain emit dense bmokc. Continuing, the committee sayst "Wc are ollie opinion that the suppression of smoke as a nuisance is within the power of those who own the stationary boilers and of the men who have charge of Jicm; and the formcr'havc no right to subject their im mediate neighbors or the public to the damage to health and property caused by their own inattention. They should act in unison and exert their employes to do their manifest duty." Ealrtnty and Steamboat Offenders. In speaking of the investigations regard ins the suppression of smoke on railways land steamb6ats, the report states' Kvory tng and nearly every locomotive engine oberved 'is belching lorth great x olumes of intensely black smoke: the cv contiotis beimr on tho Illinois Central Lsubuilxin trains. On inquiry It was found I that this company uses bituminous coal; but Ithe nuisance was In their case, much less than on other locomotives, owing to careful fli-insr.

One member of the committee took a trip 0n engine No. 93 of the "Wisconsin Central IJailway from Chicago to Harlem. .He was accompanied by'the inventor of the smoke consuming device with which the enginfe was fitted, lie reported as follow s: The trip from Chicago to llarlcm and re turn was made without ajiy x isiblo smoko issuing from the stack of the engine, except once, when, upon the suggestion of your ox nintuer, the valves leading to tho consumer were closed, whereupon denso X'olumes of Wack smoke infitantlv issued from tho 4stack,.to bo just as quickly dispelled by agam opening ino steam xtux-bs. uusur txatlons were madein tho following , 1nT- ind nnntlipr Imn wrifl made as a n wic'iwtpt. iinl.-nnim tn nnvbndv. t Ren if ! the device xvonld show equally good results. ana it xvas louna to worK jnstns penectiy ns when the xvrlter rode on tho cnclno. pThere seems to be no excuse for so much 1 UlllCiw SlllUlvtJ 11U1U 1U1.U1UUU1 U mh11K3 " ..ID cltx- of Chicago xvhllo there is such a simple, inexpensive uiiu viucieuL- uuutu nituiiiuiu reach of all, and it would seem that tho adoption of this cannot be urged any too . of fuel is said to bo effected by its use.

Lator Leaders in the Cote Region Are Now Between Two Fires. A DATS GRIST FEOH LABOR'S MILL Sensational developments are expected in the Building Trades' strike -to-morrow. It was stated last night, on i'the authority of the BuildcrsV Press Committee, that 100 plumbers had come to the city yesterday to take the place of strikers to-morroxv, and that hundreds of carpenters, stonemasons, bricklayers and electricians are expected early in the week. Within the next xx eek enough men are expected to be here from xarious points to keep things moving until the mfci here withdraw their demands for eight hours. Builders xvill not say that they are directly responsible for tho other men coming here to replace the strikers. A number of them-seen last night said they knew the men were coming, but did not know at whose order. . Work on a Theater to Uo Kesumed. Work on the Alvin Joslyn theater xvill be resumed to-morrow, but at nine hours. The local contractor had been granted the priv ilege of xv orking nine hours for a few days, until the building could be put in a safe condition. Yesterday the Builders Ex change furnished him with a sufficient num ber of men to go ahead xrith the job at nine hours, and the xvorlc ivilJ, be pushed to completion as rapidly as possible. This is one point gained" by the master builders yesterday. They claim to have gained another one yesterday by stopping the work ofi the nexv King building on Lib erty street. These two jobs are the princi Sal ones that have been xvatched xvith ,any egrce of interest since the strike com menced. Contractor McMasters had granted the demands of his men, but as he is not a member of the Exchange it xras extremely difficult for him to get material. Yesterday he gave up, not being able to procure brick and if xvork continues on that job to-morrow it xv ill be under the nine-hour rule. Vice President Powell, of the Master Builders' Association, waj seen yestcrdav afternoon and asked xvhen'a conference xvill be lield. 'Whenever the men ask for it," xvas. his reply. ,rYhx-, the men claim that as they asked for the last conference, and you -did not ac complish anythiug, it is your turn to ask for a meeting," xvas suggestedi Not Anxious for a Conference. " "It xvould be," replied Mr. Powell, "hut we are not anxious for a conference. If the men xvant to confer, we will confer. But xvhat's the use in a conference; there xvill never be any concessions on either side?" "If there'is never any concessions, there will never be a settlement," remarked the reporter. "Well, we will not concede our positiont We xvill not give in to the eight hours and there is no use talking over other rules until the question of hours is settled." J)uring the conversation with Mr. Powell, the question of conspiracy came up and the gentleman remarked that someone is liable to get into trouble it the conspiracy agita tion is kept up much' longer. "If it is conspiracy to refuse to sell material to con tractors xvho are xvorking eiglit hours, it certainly is conspiracy for. Mr. Swartz to prexrcnt"apprentices from forking if they choose," said he. "I told my boys that they must either go to xv ork or get another job. In my presence they asked' the President of the union in xvhich they are registered, If they could work and he told them they could. Then they xvent to Mr. Sxvartz and he told them thejr could not. Sow, here is something (and he drexv from his pocket a document) which we hax e dis covered. It xvill be sent to all contractors. They xv ill then order their apprentices to go to xvork, and xve will be xery careful to know xv ho prevents them." The lavi as Regards Apprentices. The document Mr. Powell hail was an act of Assembly, dated April 28, 1876, and reads as follows: Section 1 Any person who shall, cither in an indix ldual capacity, or as a mcinber of any association, attempt by auy unlawful means xv hatex-cr to prevent any mechanic, emplovc or person liax-mg charge of any manufacturing business, from taking as an apprentice any minor whose parents oi guardians arc desirous of apprenticing said minor, or whero such said minor is without parents or guardians and desires to apprentice himself or herself, shall be guilty ot a misdemeanor, nnd on con Iction thereof in tho proper Court of Quarter Sessions, shall be -cntciiccd to pay a fine of not exceeding $100 or imprisonment not exceeding three mouths, or both, or either, at the discretion of the Court. The regular meeting of the Building Trades Council xvas held lastnight. A com munication xvas received from the Car penters' Council, asking that all trades refuse to xvork on jobs xvhere nine-hour caqientcrs are employed, and a resolution xvas passed unanimously in accordance with the request. The plumbers sent a request that the marble cutters refuse all cards ex cept the certificates issued since the com mencement of the strike. Resolutions xvere adopted indorsing the new Union Supply Company. , A meeting was held in Sailer's Hall last night foj the purpose of making further ar rangements for establishing the proposed co-operatix-c concern for supplying building materials. The proceedings of the meeting xvere not given out, but it xvas stated that the nexv company xvill be ready in a few das to do business. A Statement by Flaning 31111 Men. President Evans, of the Planing Mill Association, furnished the following state ment yesterday: All of the mills are running witlrmore or less men. Only three of the mills haxe pressing orders, and in those three mills, w here efforts xvero niado to get men to go to xvork, there aio 12 union carpenters and W non-union carpenters "nt xvork xindor tho new rules and nine hours. Theso are regu lar carpenters ami not box makers, nor huvc they anj thing to do xvith the box makers' departments. There is no doubt but that if the other mills that are running xvith from llx c to ten men eacli needed moie men they could got tliom.

STRIKE LEADERS IN A BAB BOX. Between the Revenge of tho Operators and -the Curses of the Men They Aro Miser able Unlontown Mechanics Express Themselves on the Strike. The coke strike was riractically declared. 6ff yesterday. Peter Wise gave in, and to alibis friends xvho asked advice he told them to return to work. Yesterday the companies decided not to start any new works until there was a good demand for coke, nut the men flocked to the offices in such numbers and begged so piteously that the Frick Company will put fourmoren plants in operation Monday. This will leave them but,tw o plants idle. The leaders of the strike are being refused work. The black list will amount to several hundred. The district officers seem to be at their xvits ends' td know what course to pur sue. The operators are prodding them with a sharp .stick on every side, for xvhat they have done, and the labor people who have been so disappointed in losing the strike are cursing them loudly for what they have not done. A call will be issued early next xveek for a delegate convention to arrange for the future course of the organization. A lively xvashing of dirty linen may be ex pected. The American Mechanics of TJniontown have taken a stand on the strike, now that it is over. There is only one Council of the order in the county seat of Fayette county, but it is composed of a goodly number of the most prominent citizens of the town and at the last meeting of the Council the following was adopted: AVnEiiEAS, During the past month thecoko operators of Fayotte nnd AVcstmoreland counties hax'e been flooding their mines and coke yards with Italians brought here to supplant Btriklngi laborers; now, there fore, bo It l'esolved, By the officers and members of Unlontown Council Xo. 157, Jr. O.

The Presidents Come to No Agreement About the Volley Demands. The railroad presidents directly inter ested met at the Pennsylvania Company's offices yesterday to consider the demands of the Mahoning and ShenangoTalley furnace' men for lower coke rates. John Hewell represented the Lake Shore and Lake Erie roads, Vice President Orland Smith xvas there for the Baltimore and Ohio, and Vice President McCrea held down the Pennsyl vania lines. J. J. Spearman, of Sharon, appeared for the doxvn-trodden furnace owners. Xothing was accomplished. President Xcxvcll went East last evening, and he said another meeting xvonld probably be held in Philadelphia to-day, xvhen the question xvould be settled. The furnace people xvant a reduction in the coke rates from 51 So to $1 15. Tip to the present time the ' railroads have .refused to consider the request until the coke strikd' xvas ended. The argument was made'that not more than J cent per ton per mile xvas made for ore, and a proportionate tariff should be fixed for coke. The railroad officials seem to think that the furnacemen have been idle so long that they xvill start anyhow. The claitn xvas made that the bfocks xvcre loxv aud the demand for pig ironhas improved, but the valley peoplo have gone through a tough siege to get the market in any kind of condition. , Advertising Always Fays.

Premiums were an nounced for those who sold the highest number, and the interest was thus increased. .General Taylor Council, Sr. O. TJ. A M., disposed of the highest number, 420, and Monongahela Council, Jr. O. TJ..A. M., was second, disposing of a number not stated last night. J. A. AVynne was awarded the prize, consisting of a Jr. O. V. A M. badge, an umbrella and hat for selling the highest individual number, 350. Other Prizes That Were Awarded. Miss Mary Oskin was presented with a Webster's nnabridged dictionary and a guitar, for selling the highest number of tickets of any Hfgh School girl pupil, and George Dowler received a prize for the highest number sold by a boy pupil. John Stalil xvas the recipient of a silver xvatch presented by J..

Miss Cora Fritzius sold 44 tickets, the highest by any girl outside of the High School, an'd was accorded the privilege of selecting any pair of shoes in Himmelrich's store. Josie AA'ilcher came next in the number sold and is the possessor of a 52 50 gold piece, given by the Dally Mies. Mayor Gourley was to have been present to take an active part in the- presentation but a slight attack of rheumatism made it impossible for him to attend. He asked Prof. Harry AV. Fisher, principal of "the Seventeenth xvard school, to attend in his stead, a duty which that gentleman per formed very readily, and, as he said, with very much ultimate pleasure. The evening's entertainment opened with a grand chorus and part son, "Eow, Boat man, Eoxv," xvhich formed the initial of a programme containing 14 numbers. A tableau. "The Death Bed of Benedict "Arnold," in which Edgar Tedd represented tne cnaracter ot tne traitor, lolloxvcd, and then came the "Pumpkin Pie JJrill." This xvas participated in by a number of young sters ranging from 8 to 10 or 11 years, gaily arrayed in, costumes describing some of the ingredients necessary to the concoction of that favorite otthe farmer. Some Visitors From Other lands. "Moonlieht on the Lake" was npxt ran. f dered by a group of yonng scholors -ery tunetutiy ana aoiy tea Dy a little miss who will some dav be heard from, and then "Ayisitors From Other Lands" xvero introduced. These xvere Jtal Ruling Hood, Silver Hair, Jack the Giant Killer, Liitle Bo-Peep, and Cm derd'Oj represented by five little people ap propriately attired, nnd each of whom had a few lines to recite descriptive of the charac ter. The next exhibition was a pantomime in three scenes describing a "Country Church." The' first scene displayed the" church, with some of the congregation already arrived;' then others entered, followed bv the parson, who mounted the platform. Tne boys were got up with chin xvhiskcrs, glasses, etc, xvhile thd sweet, young aces of the girls peeped out from under sun bonnets. The parson himself wore a respectable and solemn appearance and a profusion of black hair -under his chin. The next scene exhibited the parson discoursing with much gesture and vigor to a congre gation xvhich had either fallen asleep or xv as yawing outrageously, while the young ladies some of them, anyxvay looked demurely across the aisle at the young men, xvho" were not backward in re 'turning the glances xvith interest. This scene xvas accepted as true to nature, but then it xvas a "country church." The third scene pictured a wedding, in which a coupje xvcre united in about ten seconds. Sixteen AVell Drilled Boys. The "gun drill," by 16 boys, xvas a feature of the entertainment, which exhibited the great care and time devoted to the xvork by the teachers. The boys marched, counter marched and xvent through the manual of arms xvith much precision, and their per formance xvas loudly applauded. Mrs. Sadie Todd recited "The AVarning," a conception founded on a supposed incident on the Johnstown flood, and a tableau the "Death of Minnehaha" folloxved. A little chap of about 9 years Lee AVhitp, as Little Fritz related ihe trials of a German school boy in so disingenuous and natural manner as fairly brought down the house. The "Dumbbell Drill" followed, and then came the Kazoo Band, and "Vogel's AValtz," sung in chorus. The pantomime of the "Sleeping Beauty" followed. This was charmingly costumed, and very xvell per formed by'the jux-(!nile actors. The presentation of the prizes xvas then made by Prof. Fisher, Itev. T. M. Boyle, pastor of the First Methodist Church, Burgess Itusscll, County Superintendent of Schools Samuel Hamilton, and other gentle men, the announcements being made by Prof. Elmer AV. Moore? xvho has charge of the borough schools, with whom xvcre asso ciated, in the conduct of arrangements, Prof. Seward Haymaker, Principal of the Third ward school, Miss Josie Friherst, and the teachers, all of xvhom are to be highly complimented on the display made by their charges. The teacher of music was accorded much praise for the ex hibition of singing, a feature which has only been introduced into the schools this year. Messrs. AV. AV. Todd and C. C. Faucett, members of the School Board, occupied seats ou the stage, which was inclosed by an im provised uouie curtain. THE -BLOODY SHTBT LOCATED. Coraopolls Detectives Find It, After a Bather Iong Search. Bloody shirt orators will rejoice to learn that the garment has been found in McKec's Rocks. A man named McNary objected to a" colored man drinking in the same saloon xvith himself, and indulged in some stric tures unpleasant to the African race. The negro took his drink, and going out to the sidewalk, awaited the exit of McNary, and used a razor with severe effectf upon his arm. Detectives spent considerable time limit ing for the ensanguined garment. It was found yesterday, and was also found to be well saturated 'Squire Bryan has cogniz ance of the case. First Picnic at Hulton. The cork workers of the Armstrong factory held their annual picnic at Hulton yesterday. The weather was cold and.wet, but the big crowd managed to have a good time, " they said.'' s 1891 HOSPITAL SATURDAY. ". a It Was Celebrated Yesterday and the Do- nations AVere Large Scores of Ladles Watch the Boxes Sunday Schools and Churches W1U Help To-Day. Notwithstanding the down-pouring rain, the sickening atmosphere or any other of the discomforts of out-of-door life yesterday, scores of Christian women showed their kind liness and benevolence by standing guard at baskets at various corners in the txvo cities where the people dropped in their mite to help support the city hospitals. Though it may be "more blessed to give than to re ceive," you have double the blessing when you receive only to turn about and give to some charitable institution that it may be supported in its efforts to lighten the sor rows of man or heal his injuries. The ladies stood with smiling faces watching the coins and 'the bills as they were dropped into their baskets and their presence doubt less added largely to the amounts secured. Dimes, quarters, half dollars and dollars jingled merrily in their fall, but though they did not so loudly announce their ar rival, the greenbacks, ones, twos and fives, added somewhat, in a decorative way, to the silver lining of the baskets. There were IS stands at which the ladies received the' "Hospital Satarday" offerings. They were located at the Baltimore' and Ohio station, Fifth avenue and Market street, Sixth avenue- and Smithfield street, Pittsburg and Lake Erie station, Fifth ave nue and AVood street, Fourth avenue and Market street; Carnegie Hall, Allegheny; Sixth street bridge, Allegheny; Allegheny Market House, Ft. AVayne station, Alle gheny; the Union depot and .at South Twelfth and Carson streets. The Collections Thought to Be Large. Although no figures are to be had, the collections at all the places are thought to have been larger than a year ago. Last year it amounted- to about 54,500, but it is expected that this year it will be a great deal more. The table at the Ft. AVayne depot, Alle gheny, was in charge of Mrs. B. A Harris and Mrs. M. J. Sinclair. The ladies thought they were handicapped by the two stands above them and the others on Fifth avenue. "The people are either in a hurry to catch a train or to leave the depot, so that we don't catch them," said Mrs. Harris, "but I like this method much better than going around and asking for money. Anything we get is given voluntarily. AVe don't meet with any rebuff and the only drawback so far has been the rain." At South Twelfth and Carson streets Mrs. Hammett and Mrs. Dr. Brexvster were in charge. Their collections had reached 515. Mrs. Brexvster said she thought they had made a mistake in npt printing the signs in German and Polish, as a great many of that class passed xvho could not read English and did not understand thc'bbjcct of the dona tions. "I have been asked several times xvhat we have for sale," "said the ladv, "and one man insisted on purchasing aboquet. The people in general do not understand the matter, but we hope that next year Hospital Day xvill be treated with more liberality." The School Children Help. In nearly all the schools collections were taken up for the hospitals Friday, but some of them did not learn of it in time and will make their offering the' first of this week. The amount secured from the school chil dren is kept separate from the balance of the fund, and when it is all in will be count ed up and the little folks will be credited with the sum. . . The mills, factories, lodges and secret so cieties of the city also make donations for this hospital fund. The churches and Sun day schools xvill make their donations to day, and the first of the week it xvill all come into the hands of the ladies and will be apportioned out- to the various institu tions according to the number of free beds they have. BOOMING THE CELEBRATION. Over Two Hundred Dollars Added to the Fourth of July Fond. The grand old Fourth of July celebration at Schenley Park was boomed again yester day to the extent of $210. Mayor Gourley is enthusiastic over the way the money is coming in nnd does not believe there will be any trouble in securing the 55,000 necessary to complete the display. The paid in subscriptions so far amount to 5765. The contributions received yesterday were as follows; A. M. and J. B. Murdock, 55; H. C. Frick Coke Company, 550; George J. Schraitt, $25; the Hostetter Company, $50; Ripley & Co., $5; McClure & Co., 523; James B. Haines & Son, 525; Charles S. Clark, 525. The total contributions so far amount to $705 SO. Not Insulted by Being Called a Dog. Kate Ciba, charged with disorderly con duct by Kate Kowalski, xvas given a hearing before Alderman Succop last evening, the allegation in the case being that the de fendant called the prosecutrix a "dog." The testimony developed the fact that the prosecutrix had been at fault, and Alderman Succop dischirged the defendant and put the costs of the case upon the prosecutrix. New Patents. List from O. D.

' The physicians of the AVcst Penn Hospital yesterday made an attempt to remove the broken pipestcm from the throat of Davy Arilliams, 4 years old, who was taken to the hospital Friday. Dr. James McCann per formed, the operation. .All the hospital physicians aud the students of the AVest Penn Medical College were present. The knife was first used on the throat and a tube inserted to allow; breathing. Then the deli cate work on the throat began. It was found that the pipestem. had passed down into the left bronchial tube, where it was. firmly lodged. Several attempts were made to get a hold on it secure enough to iyi$h droxv it, but without avail. Probes of differ ent kinds were used, and the grating on the pipestcm could easily be detected. After working about an hour, Dr.McCann decided to stop' and wait until to-day, when the operation will be again tried." ,He js very confident of his ultimate success in his delicate operation, but did not care to pro ceed yesterday, as he feared the workxvould cauRe too much of an inflammation. At noon toay he will try it again, and has every thing prepared to go aheadjuntil he succeeds ifi extracting the bothersome pipestem.
