Distinguish Them.
"Whence came all thee people, and
whither are they going?" tyis a' question
that agitated the minds of the uninitiated
yesterday as they Fair the streams of thou
sands of people, all anxious to get so much
as strap room on one of the traction lines
reaching into the suburbs. Never was there
such a crowding and jamming as that exhib
ited on the Duquesne Company's cars,
which carried on an average of 80 or 100
people on each tiip, and on one occasion a
car had 112 people on board when itclimbed
the Soho hilL Other lines, too, were well
patronized, but not to such an extent as the
new road, which finds it necessary to put in
three new dynamos to supply power ade
quate to the demand. They had 35 cars on
duty yesterday, and they ran full all the
time.
Probably more people found occasion to
go to the East End yesterday than on any
one day since pot chaises carried mail and
passengers between Pittsburg and Soho by
way of Oakland. From Grant street and
Sixth avenue to Grant and Fourth avenue,
there was one continued crowd of people
along the Duquesne line, ready to be elec
trically transported from Pittsburg's rough
streets, flanked on either side with smoke
begrimed wall, to the city's garden spot,
where, though the sun almost failed to
thine, nature smiled a welcome.
How to Enjoy a Holiday.
rittsburgers are truly a people for holi
dajs. The quiet Law and Order Sunday
becomes a day of rest As there are no
farmers in Fittsburg, and everybody is shut
up in office or factory, all seem glad of
that one day of rest, when they can go into
woods and parks and take in the week's
supply of fresh air. Schenley Park is an
inviting place, and as so far the supply of
"Keep Off the Grass" mottoes has 'run short,
it is not necessary to always tread on gravel,
but one can hat e that pleasant privilege of
rambling oier mossy banks of grass and loll
ing in the shades of forest trees, in true
provincial style.
The cemeteries, too, had hundreds of vis
itors. Some were visitors to the graves ot
loved ones, to show that in memory they
In e as young as when they died. Others
were present onlv from idle curiosity, to
lead of the virtues of strangers dead, and,
perhnps, wish tliat they, too, might be dead,
and likewise virtuous. There were still
others and they belong to a mighty throng
who were seeking peace and quiet young
loers, who walked arm in arm through the
shady avenues of death and, facing the sun
down of many hopes and ambitions, talked
of the dawn of their life's liappiness. Sub---lued
as all joy must be in such a place, there
was true pleasure on all hands, as people
thought of this one day's outing.
How Rival Traction Lines Fared.
"And for all this we are truly thankful,"
quoth the devout street car magnate, who,
in his palatial residence, watched the cars
pass his door, filled to overflowing with
nickels for his purse, while the rival line
on the same general course seemed to be
running a "tow of empties." It is a pity
that a line cannot always be new, and con
sequently a novelty. People climbed over
each other and fought for places on the Du
quesne cars, while the old standbys were
1-e.irching for passengers, and only got the
run-over from tjie new line. Tiiose who did
eventually take the cable cars, or walked,
found they were away ahead of their more
fortunateneighborswho took the electric
route.
The Duquesne was badly overloaded all
day; the time made was decidedly poor.
Sometimes a half dozen cars were lined
along the Soho hill, each waiting until the
one in front would.get a mot e on. The trip
is supposed to consume an hour and a half,
but very few were made in less than two
hours. "The power is inadequate to pull
more thau one or two cars up the hill at
one time, but more dvnamos to be put in
will surmount this difficulty. Of course the
managers could not be expected to gct the
line in perfect operation in so short a time,
and feel that they have done welL
Routes of the Dtlqnesne Cars.
One great difficulty experienced in a new
line with numerous feeders is in getting on
the right car. It is hard to tell where you
will land if you get on a car in the lower
part of the city without paj ing any atten
tion to its destination. The Duquesne now
has three lines in operation, and will have
the Wilkinsburg line going July 1. All
cars go from the citv direct to the car house
on Craig and Neville streets. The route
taken is: Starting at "Wood, to Fourth ave
jiue? to Koss, to Diamond, to Forbes, to
Craig, to the car house. From this point
there are three lines now running.
The Ellsworth and Highland avenue cars
are dark brown. Trom the car house they
go to Ellsworth avenue, to East Liberty,
across Penn avenue, to Kirkwood, to High
land, to Bryant, to Center, to Negley, to
Forbes, to the city.
The Center and Negley avenne line
can be distinguished by the fact that
vellow cars only are used. From the car
Louse tliis line runs on Craig to Bayard, to
Neville, to Center, to Negley, to Bryant, to
Highland, to Ellsworth, to Forbes, to the
city.
The Larimer and Lincoln avenue cars arc
blue. From the car house they take the
Ellsworth route to East Liberty, thence to
Frankstown avenue, to Lincoln, to Larimer,
to Station, and then via Ellsworth avenne
route return to the city.
Large Number of Streets Beached.
The Duquesne line drains a very large
section of the city. The "Wilkinsburg
branch will pass 90 street corners each way,
or 1!2 on the round trip. The Larimer ave
nue division has 79 corners east-bound and
82 westward. The Center and Neglcv di
vision has 80 crossings each way. The Ells
worth and Highland avenue division has 83
crossings going east and 81 west. Each car,
in a round, passes a total of 083 crossings, at
which passengers may be taken on or put ofE
Of course, the cars all pass over one route a
portion of the way, but that is in the thickly
settled districts, and it requires more cars
for the tratel there.
The number of cars running in the lower
end of the city will prove very dangerous to
pedestrians. At some of the street cross
ings there are four lines running one way or
another. The greatest danger probably
will be found at Fifth avenue and "Wood
stregt, where the Fifth avenue line, the
Duquesne, the AVylie avenue and an Alle
gheny horse car line pass. Yesterday the
number of cars passing that point every
hour averaged over 100, or a car every 36
seconds. It kept the policemen on duty
busy keeping the people from under the
wheels. At Sixth and Smithficld and
Sixtli and "Wood an equal number of
lines come together, and the ojonger would
be as great if the travel equaled that on
Fifth avenue.
How Tar to Kide for One rare.
Secretary HcFarlane, of the Duquesne J
Company, is authority for the statement that
the all-night cars witf. be running every half
hour from midnight to 5 o'clock within a
few days. No decision as to the fare has yet
been made, but in one of his recent public
utterances on the question, Mr. Magee is
quoted as saying the fare would be all the
same, all the way around. There may be an
increased rate on the "Wilkinsburg line, but
that is also to be deei(i?d later. -
A notice was posted in the offiee at Craig
street yesterday announcing where the trips
begin." On the out-bound run passengers
can board the cars at Smithfield street and
Sixth avenue, and in-bound passengers are
expected to alight at Fifth avenue and
Wood. Passengers on the Center and Neg
ley avenue line will be carried as far as
Penn avenue, East Liberty. On the Ells
worth and Highland division they will be
carried as far as Penn and Negley. On the
Larimer and Lincoln avenne branch passen
gers west will be carried to any point on the
branch east.
Three-Cent Fares Bound to Go.
President George W. Elkins, of the Pitts
burg Traction road, arrived home from
Philadelphia on the limited last evening,
while C. L JJagee was a passenger on an
earlier train going East. Colonel Elkins
was not inclined to talk about the 3-cent
fare, remarking that The Dispatch had
published everything new connected with
the proposed reduction. '
"Is it a game of blufi?" he was asked.
" "We are not in the bluffing business," the
Colonel answered. 'That rate was made Jo
stand, and will."
"It is claimed the result will be that one
road .will gobble the other and the people
will be worse off than before."
"Is that so? "Well, a few people are evi
dently figuring far in the future, is all he
would say in reply. Mr. Elkins had noth
ing to state about all-night cars, but he
hinted that the natrons of the road would
have little to complain about. No addi
tional meetings were held in Philadelphia,
and it is apparent that the Pittsburg Trac
tion people arc in a healthy fighting humor.
GOOD SHEPHERD NUNS. "
Their 3Tothcr Superior Granted a Special
Permit to Visit Father Molllnger's
Chapel Some Peculiarities of the Lives
of This Order of Sisters.
Bishop Phelan has granted a special per
mit with one from the Pope to the
Mother Superior of the House of the Good
Shepherd, on Troy Hill, to visit the new
completed chapel built by Father Mollinger
in honor of St Antl ony. The venerable
Mother Superior will be "taken from the
convent to the chapel and return in a closed
carriage. The removing of a Sister from
one convent to another is carried out the
same way. The change always takes place
during the night
The origin of the Order of the Good
Shepherd and the mother house was in
Angurs, France, in 1659, and now there are,
throughoutthj world, 120 houses. Of these
32 arc in France 14 in Italy, 15 in Ger
many, 10 in England, Ireland and Scotland,
9 in Asia, 8 in Africa and 1 in Australia.
ThirtV-nine are in North and South Amer
ica. Among the Northern States the order
has a house each in Boston, New York, Phila
delphia, Baltimore, Columbus and Oregon.
The one on Troy Hill was founded at the re
quest of the late Bishop Domenec, in 1870,
and since the most of these in the Northern
States were established.
The largest house in this country is in
Chicago, at the corner of Market and Hill
streets. The mother house in Angers,
which is the largest, always has 200 Sisters.
Not long ago a Good Shepherd Convent
was established at Tripoli, in Africa, for the
purpose of rescuing slaves sold in the public
market A House of the Good Shepherd
has just been founded at Bengalore, East
Indies, where, in addition to their usual
works, they receive a class of little Indian
children, who are thus saved from idolatry.
It is impossible for anyone who has ever
been an inmate of a convent asylum of
the Good Shepherd to become a nun of their
order. The constitution strictly requires
the nuns to be persons -ef unstained reputa
tions, but if the penitents be really con
verted and shrink from again entering the
world, with its snares and trials, there are
means of escape open to them. They may
become consecrated, make a profession and
remain in the convent for life.
COULDN'T KEEP HEB LOCKED UP.
A Woman Demolishes a TVaslihouso in
Which She Was Imprisoned.
The borough boomers of McKee's Bocks
have a fresh argument in favor of their
scheme. The great unincorporated aggre
gation has no lockup and cannot make the
township provide one, and yet, in view of
the large number of rowdy picnics in the
vicinity and their liquor-laden clientage,
one is more needed than in any other town
in the State.
Deputy Constable Zinkhand the other
day arrested at a picnic a young woman
who was grandly, gloriously and violently
drunk. In default of any other place he
locked her up in 'Squire Bryan s wash
house. After a time a spirit not that
which came mightily upon Samson, when
he rent the lion which came against him on
the highway from Zorah to Timnoth, but
one sufficiently potent for the purpose
came upon her, and she arose, and with
great violence threw herself against one end
of the building. She got away, taking with
her for some distance the end of the build
ing, just as Samson did the gates of Gaza.
NoWj 'Squire Bryan would like to know
who is to make him whole, as the woman is
non est, and her name is not known.

GOOD STOET ABOUT A PIOUS DENTIST
Brief mention was made in The Dis
patch a day or two ago of a change made
by Common Pleas Court No. 1 of its rule in
regard to the m.ethod of procedure in ap
plying for charters of incorportion. There
is something beneath the surface of this
ruling of the Court of great importance to
the public especially to that large portion
of the public interested in corporations.
Yesterday an interview was had with At
torney J. M. Caldwell in regard
to the matter. Mr. Caldwell said:
"The change in itself is important,
but not so much so to the public as the
causes and reasons for the change, which do
not appear on the surface, but are well un
derstood by thoughtful lawyers. The Court
in making this change in its rules has not
diminished itslabors, but largely increased
them, and it may well be inferred that it
was not done without sufficient-cause. The
act of 1874 specifies a particular form in
which charters shall be prepared, and also
some legal requirements that sliall be em
bodied in them, but it does not indicate the
particular rules of procedure before the
Court, or the law judge who is
empowered to approve or grant
the charters. The wording of the act
very naturally suggests the method of pro
cedure first adopted by our courts; that is,
file the petition for the charter and the
charter itself in the Prothonotary's office,
then advertise the notice of the time of the
application for its approval, as the act
directs. Then, at the time 'mentioned in
the notice, make application to the Court or
a law judge for approval. Now, the judges
have changed the rule to the effect that the 1
petition lor the cnarter ana tne cnarter 11
self must first be. presented inopenconrt,
and an order of the Court obtained allowing
the same to be filed and the notice adver
tised. A Decision Not Tet Announced.
"The Court lias not yet stated whether it
will, when the charter is first presented,
peruse and examine it in order to be satis
lied that it is in proper form, within the
provisions of the corporation act and not
unlawful or injurious to society, before it
orders or allows it to be filed and the notice
advertised; butlhat is the reasonable in
ference of the Court's intention, and its
.action since on some charters that were pre
sented confirms that inference. It is alto
gether likely this method of procedure will
be adopted by the other Common Pleas
Courts of this and other counties of the
State.
"This course of proceeding may seem
arbitrary at first, but upon due consideration
it will be found to be altogether for the
benefit of the applicants for charters.
TJndr the old rule they had to
go to the expense of the Prothono
tary's costs for filing, etc., and
which together, without counting attorneys'
fees, would amount to little less than 540 or
50. Under the new rule the objections of
the Court would be indicated before any
costs, except attorneys' fees, would be in
curred, and some cases new charters might
be prepared avoiding the objections and
presented with reasonable hope of success.
Reason for the Now Bole.
"The reason for the new rule is that a
number of old laws'exist about applying for
charters, and 50 years ago the Supreme
Court decided that no charter would
be granted unless the provisions
of these acts were complied with.
It is now believed by experienced lawyers
that there are hundreds of charters recorded
in the office of the Recorder of Deeds that
are not worth the paper that they are written
on. The public therefore interested in cor
poration matters will net he sorry tnat uom
mon Pleas Court No. 1 has sounded this
signal gun of alarm. It is supposed that the
Court was led to investigate these matters
more closely on account of the immense rush
for charters of incorporation for almost every
conceivable purpose within the last few
years. Every little gathering of people for
profit or pleasure, for eating or drinking, for
music or dancing, for going abroad or staying
at home, wants to be incorporated. Judge
Single has given special attention to the mat
ter, and has raised 'Baquo's ghost' iiv cor
poration matters. It is to be regretted that
a few worthy applicants have fallen victims
to the new rule."
EE0KE TIP THE BAND.
How the Sight of Lemons Demoralized
Blowers in a Western Town.
"Did you ever try the plan of sucking an
orange or lemon before a band that was
playing?" asked a theatrical man of a re
porter yesterday. "Well, if you want to
see a set of performers go to pieces, try it
some time. I had heard of the trick, but
never believed it would have such an effect.
Not long ago I was in a small town in the
West The village band was serenading a
newly-married couple when I thought
of the trick. I supplied several
boys with lemons, and instructed them to
suck the fruit where the players could see
them.
"The effect was very laughable. The
man with the bass horn caught the
sight first. His mouth commenced to twitch
nervously, then his dry throat suddenly ex
pressed a desire for lemon juice Nand be
tween it all he lost his place and quit play
ing. Other" players had the same experi
ence and they couldn't blow together to
save their lives. The boys were clean off
and the music was recommence.d. I have
been told by several band men that a lemon
sucked where they can see it while playing
is very exasperating as the blowing makos
the lips dry, and a lemon would afford them
great relief."

Well to Be Examined Often, to Catch
Disease In the Early Stages.
"People never, know there is anything
wrong with them," said a physician yester
day, "until they come to be examined for
life insurance. Some of the most insidious
diseases produce no pain in the first stages,
nor alter the appearance enough to make its
presence known to friends. For this reason
it is a good plan, if a man can afford it, to
take a few thousand on his life occasionally,
for the satisfaction of knowing that his
health is good, if for nothing else.
"Recently I had occasion to examine a
friend of minewho wanted his life insured.
He seemed strong and well, and I never
dreamed he would not pass, but I was
greatly astonished to discover that he had
right's disease. No insurance company
would have taken a risk on his life. Fortun
ately the disease had not taken a firm hold,
and with proper attention he can be cured.

AN OVEE-ZEALOTJS DENTIST.
He Talks Religion to a Young Girl Having
a Tooth Pulled. .
"You seem to be happy this morning,
doctor," said an insurance agent to a local
dentist noted for his extreme piety.
"I am, sir. I am," he replied. "The
Lord has been very gracious io me. to-day."
"In what way?"
"Well, I have been very much interested
PITTSBUEG DISPATCH,
in a beautiful young Irish girl's welfare,
but whenever I tried to talk to her about
her soul's salvation, she either laughed at
me, or found some excuse for getting
away. The girl would avoid me at all
times, but to-day, sir, she came into the of
fice to have a tooth filled. When she was
seated in the chair and I had placed a rub
ber instrument over her mouth it suddenly
flashed across my mind that this was my op
portunity for a sermon, and T talked religion
for two hours to her. Do you wonder now
that I am happy?" ..,.,
The insurance man who tells the story says
it is a veritable fact, and the old doctor
clapped his hands in great glee when he
thought of the good work he had done.
Every time the doctor paid his insurance
premium he had to be shown that he was
not cheating Providence or displaying a
woful lack of distrust in the Creator by
having his life insured. ,

A Drummer Sings the Praise of Boast
Monkey in Spanish-America.
"The most delicious thing I ever ate was
roast monkey," said a drummer at the
Anderson yesterday, who occasionally takes
a trip through the tropics. "Talk about
chicken and turkey, or even canvas back
duck, they are not equal in flavor or tender
ness to a young monkey. The natives in
Spanish-America are very fond of them, and
they never hesitate about eating them.
They scoop out holes in the ground and
make a small bake oven in which they roast
them. Sometimes the animal is boiled, but
no matter how prepared the meat is always
a palatable dish.
"The girls of Spanish-American countries
are of the type described by Byron in his
'Don Juan,' rather swarthy complexion,
with large, dark eyes and an abundance of
hair of the same color. They are very much
fascinated with white men, and think they
are creatures of a superior order. I have
seen as many as a half dozen of 'these pretty
girls loitering around my door to catch a
glimpse of me. They are not bashful, and
love to gossip with you in the Spanish lan
guage. But the girls are not very attrac
tive to an American after all. They are too
dirty and slovenly in their dress when they
do take a .notion to wear clothes. Indeed,
the misses in their teens walk around with
scarcely anything on them."
THEY DON'T WANT DOCTORS.
Russians and Poles Call in Physicians Only
at the Last Moment ,
A Russian named Gregroiw, but who
called himself John Miller, residing on
Jones avenue, near Twenty-seventh street",
died suddenly yesterday of rheumatism of
the heart, aggravated by excessive cigarette
smoking. He had called upon Dr. L. Sa
dowski, of Penn avenue, the day previous,
and the doctor told him what ailed him,
cautioning him against smoking. -
Dr. Sadowski said yesterday that the Rus
sians were much addicted to cigarette smok
ing, but that there was a great deal of differ
ence in the quality of the Russian tobacco
and that made in'o cigarettes in this country.
"This man," he said, "was only a week or
so in the city. He used to work at mining,
I understand. He came to me long after
any physician could have done anything for
him. It is the way with both Poles and
Russians. When they faU sick they be
lieve they will die if they are to die, and if
not they will recover without any help
from the doctors. I attended a case of
pneumonia on the Southside, yesterday,
wnicn snouia nave oeen seen to a weeK
ago. Now it may be too late. They only
call in a doctor at the last moment, and
very often to prevent trouble from the
police."
WANTS TO GO FISHING.
Senator Crane Says He Is Glad the Season
Is Almost Over.
W. H. Crane, with his people, from Chi
cago, going to Brooklyn to end the season,
and the Duff Opera Company, from Louis
ville, bound for Washington in special cars,
met at the Union station last evening. For
a time there was a theatrical flavor about
the dingy old depot as the two Companies
excharged greetings. Senator Crane said
he was glad the season was nearly over, as
he was dying to board his yacht and go fish
ing. He added that he had a very prosper
ous year and was happy.
Marie Tempest, who has quit the Duff
Company, was rather moody. She Is going
back to England, but expects torcturn
again to America. Members of the com
pany claimed there was no quarrel between
Miss Tempest and Miss Snyder. The latter
was anxious to please her friends at her
home in Louisville, and introduced an extra
song in one of the acts. Miss Tempest' ob
jected, but Miss Snyder did not resign from
the company as reported. This week Miss
Snyder is the prima donna, but when they
undertake grand opera at Louisville in a
few weeks, Manager Duff' thinks he, will
have Pauline L'Allemand, who will fie the
leading soprano for the Casino company
next year.
QUAY'S BEST CATCH
Was When He Hooked Nine Tarpon in a
Night in Florida Waters.
"I see by The Dispatch," said Dick
Quay last evening, "that Mr. Dabbs has a
tarpon on exhibition which he caught in
Florida waters. The average weight of this
fish is from 105 to 130 pounds, but I
have seen them tip the scales at
200. The best catch my father ever made
was nine in one night When he goes fish
ing he takes a small boat and lots of strong
line. The tarpon is like the trout, a very
famey fish, and when hooked soon wears
ilnself out m darting around furiously in the
water. The best time to fish for them
is at night In Stillwater they bite easy, and
a good fisherman can land two o ut of every
five hooked. In tide water they rush at
the bait, and then are off as fast as they can
swim. It isxery exciting sport to see these
big fish when caught jump six
feet out of the vater in their
Struggles to get away. They will turn over
on their sides on the surface of the water,
but they soon exhaust themselves.'
t "The best fishing ground is intthe still
water on the west coast of Florida. It is
hard to pull them out on the eastern side,
as the tides are very swift"
SOME PEOPLE DOING: WELL.
The Furnace Men Said to He Not Anxious to
Sell Pig Iron.
"Business is good with us," said Mr.
Riter, of Riter & Conley, yesterday. "At
present we arebuilding what will be when
finished the largest still in America for the
Standard Oil Company at Whiting, Ind.
Things are very dull lam told in Denver.
We will put up a furnace in Pueblo this
summer. This will be our third in Colorado.
They find a good ore out there, and it makes
excellent pig iron. I was irt the Northwest
a week ago. The business is fair, and I am
inclined to believe that the year will finish
very well."
Local iron men believe that heavy sales
of pig iron are being made, though the
Valley furnace men when approached are
loth to part with their stock except at a
good price, which they don't get The rate
has stiffened a little during the past week,
and the long shutdown should put the
market in good condition. The furnace
owners show no signs of starting up, and it
does look as if they are determined to fight
to a finish for lower coke rates. The rail
way officials claim it is a great game of
bluff.

not conducive of thirst for beer, and, there
fore, the illegal liquor seUing was not
heavily boomed. Nevertheless, the police
up to 11 o'clock had made three raids on
speak-easics, and also landed a walking
speak-easy in the lockup. Superintendent
Muth says the "whisper" proprietors in
Allegheny are pretty well scared out "We
can hold them down over here," said he,
"much easier than in Pittsburg. Our worst
class of people is not huddled together" in
any particular locality as is the case in
Pittsburg. If a man becomes crooked over
here there are always enough good people
in any neighborhood to discover the fact"
A IJald Made at Midday.
The first raid was shortly before 1 o'clock
at the house of May Smith, in Evans alley.
The proprietress and John Maloney, Jerry
Shay and Jack Benny were taken.
During the afternoon Charles Mesplay's
house at 631 Preble avenue was raided.
William Leonard, Henry Wilt, William
Kief, Michael Burk and the proprietor were
taken to Central station.
About i o'clock Officer Snyder picked up
August Redmon on East street. He was
carrying a bottle of whisky and a glass and
was doing a heavy business.
The last raid was at 10 o'clock when
Superintendent Muth visited Kitty Haid's
place at 231 Lacock street, and induced her
to accompany him to City Hall. Lizzie
Thomas and D. D. Carr accompanied them
and remained all night in order to be pres
ent in time for the morning hearing. Tiro
other parties were taken in the raid, but
they put up forfeits and were released.
Only One Eaid in Pittsburg.
In Pittsburg there was only one raid, and
that was conducted by Inspector McAleese
and Captain Daj( Silvis. C. Montiveide and
his son Edward have an ice cream parlor
and candy store at 316 Grant street For
the past two weeks Montiveide has been do
ing some illegal liquor selling. The price
of his beer, two quart bottles for 25 cents,
was so low as to attract a big custom, and
yesterday he disposed of nearly a barrel.
His pretty daughter assisted in serving the
amber fluid, which was set up to patrons in
a little back room usually used as an ice
ci earn parlor. ,
Inspector McAleese and several detectives
went up to the place last night, and, not be
ing recognized by the proprietor, walked in
and took possession of the place, Mr. Monte
veide apologizing profusely because he had
sold the last of his stock to the two Italians
who were sitting at a table enjoying the
last bottle..
While the Inspector and detectives were
talking Captain Silvis walked in and placed
the whole party under arrest. Monteveide
protested that his visitors were all boarders,
and calling upon the detectives they corrob
orated his statements, much to their amuse
ment Monteveide did not see the trick
played on him until he was locked up in
Central station and saw the officers take
seats behind the brass railing instead of the
bars.
Three Crap Shooters Arrested.
Detectives Bendel andJ3hore came upon a
crowd of young men shooting craps on
Fourth avenue, near Market street, yester
day morning just as people were passing on
their way to church. When the detectives
came along the crap shooters suddenly re
membered they had business elsewhere and
all but three of them escaped. The latter
registered at Central station as James
Doyle, Jerry Randall and James Murphy,
and put 515 forfeits for, their appearance at
this morning's hearing.

lowed aPiece of ripe Stein Succumbs.
. A piece of common clay pipe stem, about
an inch long, hasterrainated little 4-year-old
Davy Williams' short existence. He-died
at 9 o'clock last night in the West Penn
Hospital, where he had been removed from
his home in Petrolia, Butler county, on
Saturday. The child swallowed the piece
of stem about a week ago, but it was not
until he was brought to the hospital that
anything was done to save his life.
Dr. Thomas McCann operated on the
child's throat Saturday. The stem was
reached with a probe but could not -be dis
lodged. Dr. McCann' was to have made an
other attempt to reach the obstruction by
operating through the chest, but he was un
able to be present yesterday. Another at
tempt was made by the house physicians
last evening to remove the stem, but with
out successful result, for the boy died at the
time stated. He was stated to be in a
Critical condition since the first operation
was performed. A post mortem was made
revealing the pipe stem embedded in the
bronchial tube. The remains will be sent
home to-day. ,.

Golden Gate Excursionists Very Much
Pleased With the City.
The last of the Golden Gate specials
reached Pittsburg bout noon yesterday.
For once the programme was broken, and
the train .stopped in Allegheny. The 78

ladies in the party were delighted with the
East End, and a New York woman said she
never knew that this city had so many beau
tiful homes. She had always understood
that Pittsburg was a dirty, grimy place,
hardly fit to live in, but after the drive she
believed she would enjoy a residence here.
Senator Fields, of Kentucky, was one of
the excursionists. The special left for New
York last evening. The climate of Califor
