An Italian Miner Hunting a Fellow t Countryman Who Stole Both His Money and Children. SUXDAT HEARINGS DECIDEDLT SHALL. Eecord cr a Day's Doings Anions the Kttslnrj sad Allegheny Mice "William N. Forgey was found dead in bed at the St. James Hotel yesterday morn ing. Death resulted directly from disease "of the heart, but is supposed to have been hurried by wounds inflicted by his own hand. "When the case was reported to Coroner McDowell he immediately went to the hotel and began an investigation. He soon diswnered circumstances leading to suspicion and he determined to thoroughly sift the matter. Forgey was lying on his bed, where he had died some time during the night. On examining the body the Coroner found three cuts as if made by a knife, directly over his heart His underclothes in the vicinity of the wounds were clotted with blood, showing them to be of recent origin. The body was removed to an undertaker's and the Coroner ordered a post mortem examination. A Man "With Too Big a Heart. It was found tliat Forgey's heart was wonderfully enlarged, being several times the ordinary size, and that death had re sulted from it. Dr. McCandlcss said the man must have suffered terribly from the affection of his heart. Investigation developed the fact that Forgey came to ritt'burg with his son, J. H. Forgey, trom their home in Wilkins- burg. The elder Forgey was 06 years of I age, and for some time past had been ex hibiting signs of mental weakness. This culminated Saturday when he endeavored to put an end to his life by stabbing himself in the heart. In this he was not wholly successful, though the wounds are thought to have hastened his end. So Accommodations for the Insane. The son concluded it would be better to get his father into a hospital where he could be better taken care of, and accordingly came to rittsburg and applied at the Homeopathic institution. He told the au thorities there of his father's mental in firmitv, and they declined to take him, as thev had no accommodations for insane. The son then concluded to take his father to the hotel, and visit the "West Penn Hos pital in the morning. The two retired, and when the son awoke yesterday morning he found his father dead. It is thought the terrible pain of his heart had been responsible for Mr. Forgey's weakness of mind. The body will be re moved to the home of his daughter in Alle rhenv this morning, and the inquest will be held at 11 o'clock at the Coroner's office. The wife of the deceased has been dead sev eral years. DIED IK THE STATION HOUSE. James McXalley, a "Well-Known Man, End 111 Lire In a Cell. James McXalley, a prisoner, died at the Fourteenth ward station about 12 o'clock yesterday. McXalley was found lying in a stupor near Frankstown avenue and Sta tion street about 9 o'clock Saturday night. He was removed to the Nineteenth ward station and locked up in a cell, charged with drunkenness. Magistrate Hyndman yesterday morning sentenced him five days to jail. He was taken to Oakland, where the prisoners are transferred from No. G wagon to No. 4 wagon, and taken to the Central station. At Oakland the patrolmen noticed Me Nalley actinc as though he was sick, and they concluded to remove him to the Four teenth ward station, where died a short time afterward. McXallcv was well known about East Liberty. He lived at No. 5C33 Mignonette street, Twentieth ward. Inspector AVhite house said last night that McXallev had been arrested and tried on a charge of mur dering John Dalev, but was acquitted. He was also arrested on a number of minor charges in the past five years. EEOKE TJP A WEDDING FEAST. The Groom Goes to the Workhouse "With Several of His Guests. A Pole whose name is recorded on the police docket of the Seventeenth ward sta tion as John Bunco, was arrested late Satur day night. Saturday morning he was mar ried to a young woman of his own nationality at his home in the rear of Butler street, be tween Fifty-first and Fifty-second streets. The usual celebration incident to the Polish marriaee ceremony was continued through the day. A large number of guests were present, and the supply of beer was equal to the de mand. Several fights were indulged in, and late Saturday night the commotion was so great that Captain Brophy, Lieutenant Andrew Orth and several officers raided the house. Thirteen men were caught, including the groom. The bride was the only woman about tht premises and was not arrested. Each of the men was sent to the workhouse for 30 days. FOUGHT IN A STABLE. Emory Gregory Severely Stabs Daniel Hill in the Back. Tn o colored men named Daniel Hill and Emory Gregory got into a quarrel in a sta ble on Beaver avenue vesterday, during which Hill was cut with aknife by Gregory. A very severe wound was inflicted in his left arm by a stab which punctured the muscle. Another wound about four inches long was made in his back across the shoul der blade, but the cut was not a deep one. The men were arrested and locked up in the Central station, where Police Surgeon Hazzard bandaged up Hill's wounds. Hill is a stable groom for Captain Rodgers. Suffering From Sunday Football. Andrew Johnston desecrated the Sabbath by playing football. He, in company with a number of companions, was engaged in an interesting game at the foot of South Eighteenth street vesterday afternoon, when Officer "Wright hove in sight He charged on the crowd, but only succeeded in captur ing Johnston, who, in consequence, spent the night in the Twenty-eighth ward station. No Visible Means of Support. Officer Blakely, of Allegheny, arrested three men as suspicious characters on Biver avenue last night. He first arrested Joseph Dimmond and Joseph Harwart, who could not tell much about themselves save that they came from Pottstown and were looking for work. The other man arrested gave his name as Thomas Frindible and said he lived at Bidgeway, Elk county. Hied of Too Much Alcohol. Margaret Long, aged 36 years, was found dead yesterday morning at her home in the rear of No. 528 Second avenue.

Thieves have inaugurated a reign of terror in Robinson township that may end in something serious if depredations are continued much longer. Locks, bolts and bars seem insufficient to restrain the midnight marauders, and watch dogs are poisoned if they attempt to exercise their functions. These outrages have been going on for years, but of late they are more fre quent and bold. The thieves do not seem to be after money so much as food, and cellars and hen roosts are most frequently raided, f though several farmers have each lost from 23 to 100 bushels ol grain. Not long since J.Brcnn's hennery, near Ewing's mill, was raided and the hens and their broods 'taken. One hen. the foster mother of somi 20 Pekin ducks, the latter about the size of quail, were taken. .Night before last the thieves visited the farm of a man named Bums, near the Kansas school house, and stole a large number of tomato plants that had been set out in a field. Heretofore orchards were robbed in the vicinity, but last year the thieves got no revenue trom this source. The last raid has roused the victims to the necessity of some kind of action, and there is talk of a combination being made to rid the locality of some people who have no visible means of support and who do but little work. Some of the thieves are known, but positive evidence so far cannot be gotten against them aud it is thought if some prowlers were peppered with shot that they might subsequently be traced and apprehended. SHALL SUNDAY HEARINGS. Police Magistrates Have a Very Small 1.1st of Cases to Settle. Police hearings were light yesterday morning. At Central station John Ander son and James Duncan had. been abusing two Italian boy street musicians when Of ficer Roach interfered and they struck him. They were each given 30 day sentences. Charles Gray, having been arrested at the request of his mother for habitual drunk enness, was given a 60 days' sentence. Owen Shevelin. at the Twentv-eiriith ward station, got $100 and costs or 30 days to the workhouse for abusing his wife and children. Edward McGomgle, Charles Schober, Patrick Barrett and Frank Stoker, four small boys arrested while making merry over a beer keg, were fined $5 and costs each. Joseph Price was fined ?25 and costs for keeping a disorderly house. Four visitors were fined ?5 and costs each. Magistrate McEenna sent Patrick Con ners to the workhouse 30 days for beating Andrew Kempf on Butler and Fifty-first streets Saturday night. John Lee was given a like sentence for abusing his wife. Magistrate Hyndman fined John Conner flO and costs for interfering with Officer Welsh. Mrs. Johanna McCarty, for keep ing a speak-easy, paid 550 and costs. George Connor was fined $50 and costs, or 60 days to the workhonse, for stealing flowers from lawns near Ben Venue station. HUNTING HONEY AND CHILDEEN. A Mahanoy City Miner Tells a Sad Tale to the Police Authorities. Anthony Fortnot, an Italian miner from MahanoyCity, called on Inspector "White house at the Nineteenth ward station last night and requested his aid in finding an Ital ian named Anthony Pasuansky. Fortnot's story was that on the 20th of April last Pasuansky, who boarded with him, skipped out, taking with him $100 in money and Fortnot's two children. The father traced the runaways to this city, and succeeded in finding Pasuansky's trunk at a house on "Washington street, but failed to find the man himself, although he searched this and surrounding towns. In spector "Whitehouse will take charge of the case. SUNDAY EES0ETS SILENCED. Illcgal liquor Sellers Make Plenty of "Work for the Police. In Allegheny a disorderly house and a speak-easy were raided yesterday. The for mer was the house of Tony Benewat, of 595 East Ohio street, where 18 men were taken. They were gambling and had 11 kegs of beer in the house. The other was the place kept by Andy Ulry at Third and Chestnut streets. Seven men were taken there. Mr. TJlry was in on a similar charge two weeks ago. Lieutenant Thornton conducted both raids. Hereafter no forfeits will be taken in speak-easy cases. Out in Lawrenceville four houses suf fered. Among them was Marv Burke, of the Eighteenth ward. This makes her fourth time. A DISOBDEELY FAMILY. Mother, Two Daughters and an Uncle Get Thirty Days to the Works. An entire family was sent to the work house by Magistrate McKenna at the Sev enteenth ward police station yesterday. They were Mary Devine, hertwo daughters, Salhc and Annie, and John Devine, an uncle. They were having a general fight among themselves at Forty-seventh and Harrison street. They were given 30 days each. Tribute to a labor deader. Typographical "Union No. 7 yesteroay made arrangements to send delegates to the commemorative exercises which will be held over Thomas Armstrong's grave at Steubenville on July 6. About 75 members of the craft will journey down. The annual convention of the Flint Glass Workers Union will open there on the same day. Dedication of the Gnsky Orphanage. An interesting programme has been ar ranged for the dedication of the Gusky Hebrew Orphanage and Home to-morrow. The key to the institution will be presented by Miss Marv Gusky, and Josiah Cohen, jacoiucuvui iuv vuiuvi, w ill respuuu. Killed at Klverton. The Coroner was notified that an unknown man had been struck by a Baltimore and Ohio train at Biverton station yesterday morning and instantly killed. The body was taken to McKeesport and the case will be investigated to-day. LOCAL BREVITIES. Stethks Johjtstoit, the popular receiving clerk of the Cincinnati lino, has tendered his resignation, and left yesterday for Cincinnati, where he will take charge of tho popular re-' sort known as Coney Island, a few miles above the Queen City. His many friends wish him success in his new enterprise. Charles Beattt, of lot Charles street, Alle gheny, was turned over to the Children's Society, of New York, by the police of that city yesterday. He says ho left home he cause he was abused by his stepmother. A tihwaee reception is to be held at the Domestics' Home, G2 Anderson street, Alle gheny, Wednesday evening, June 10. The managers of the public institutions and all domestics are invited to attend. The discussion on the Governmental con trol of public works, under the single tax, was continued at tho rooms of the Single Tax League last evening. Dcquesxe Traction car 183 struck a horse belonging to the Excelsior Cab Company last evening. A leg of the horse was severely cut. The accident occurred at the corner of Forbcs,and Gist streets. A Uiraox Holiness convention will be held in the Liberty Street M. E. Church to-day at zjo ana 730 o'clock and will continue through next Sunday. SrrciAi. evangelistic services will be com menced by Ker. D. B. Updegraph at the Butler Street M. E. Church to-day, continu- ing through the The Increasing Use of the Metals in Build ing Construction "WILL HELP TO ADD TO THE BUSINESS I The month of June is the most inactive of the 12 in the calender of iron and steel men, both makers and dealers. It is during this month that the broker allows the mail to ac cumulate on his office desk and makes a round of visits among his constituents; and the manufacturer prepares for Ms annual stock-taking in July, and girds up his loins foe the customary struggle with the workers i when they present their scale for the year beginning with the 1st of July. It is dur ing this interval of comparative idleness that both the broker and maker essay to gauge the future and seek to know the pros pects for trade in the fall and winter and the early spring. The crops and the railroads are the iron man's diviningrods. Given the prospects for the one he can estimate very closely on what the railroads will do, and through both he can figure out with some degree of certainty as regards the outlook for the year in his own particular line of business. Primarily, then, on the condition of the crops depends the prosperity of the iron trade. Bcports from the "West point to prospects of returns which promise to ex ceed the average by a fair percentage, and individual statements of men largely inter ested in grain and produce, who have been spoken w ith on the subject, give an assur ance of a harvest that will met every ex pectation. Ballroad Buyers as a Thermometer. A profitable harvest means everything to the country, but it is of vital importance to the railroads. "With the assurance of a heavy freight traffic roads begin to put' their rolling stock in order, place the track in re pair and expend money in improvements and betterments generally. Thev feel en couraged to open up branches and extend feeders and place themselves in position to compete witli rival roads for a share of the spoil. A reflection of this activity finds its way into the iron and steel mills. Car wheels are needed for the rolling stock, plate for the wagons, finished material of all sizes for the Dridges, rails for the track and tools for the shops. The first blush of this prosperops era may be said to have already appeared. The pace for the year is generally set by the Pennsylvania Bailroad, and when that cor poration sends its purchasing agents abroad, railroad buying for the season is regarded as having commenced. "With the placing of an oraer ior ou,uuu tons oi rails among the Carnegie Association, the Cambria Com- pany and the Steelton people, the Pennsvl- vania Company has shown the way to the other roads, and they will, as usual, be swift to follow suit. A well-informed broker who has just returned from an ex tended tour "West and South states that the cotton and grain belt roads are already pre paring for a busy season. He noticed active work in progress along these lines,sand he gathered from railroad men that they have the liveliest expectations for a heavy trade. Preparing for the World's fair. But the prospects of the iron men do not alone depend on the requirements of the roads due to the expectations of heavy traffic from the harvest yield; the "Void's Fair in '93 will provide another and extensive stim ulus. The trunk lines centering in Chicago must see to it that their tracks are in firsts class condition to stand the strains of the heavy hauling which 'will necessarily be done overthese roads, and managers are already recognizing this necessity and pre paring to meet it. The Pennsylvania lines are laying down heavy section rails west of this city, and the Baltimore and Ohio is proceeding with its doublcd tracked connections westward. The entrance of iron aud steel into building construction is becoming more marked every year, and in Chicago alone a competent authority estimates that $50,000,000 will be expended in new work between this and 1893. This is outside of the "World's Fair buildings, the first of which is now being constructed in Cleveland, and the elevated railroad for Chicago, which is being built here. A large quantitv of steel will go into consump tion in the new vessels which the Govern ment proposes to build, and the manufacture of tinned and terne plate, so long regarded as a myth, but now making sure its slow progress, will tend still further to give.life to the trade. No Clash of Capital and labor. , "With these prospects in view it is en couraging to note that there willbeno trade disturbances to place a check on the wheels of trade. The convention of the Amal gamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers will not make any change in-the basis of the scale, viz.j $5 50 per ton fpr boiling on a 2 cent card rate now ruling. The manufacturers, on their side, will not hesitate about accenting the general terms of the now scale, though there will be, of course, the usual conferences and discus sions regarding extras. The vital point is that the workers are not putting forward any demands -which cannot easily be adjusted without recourse to a strike. It may be observed, also, that any stiffen ing in values will be due altogether to in creased demand, and not in consequence of any increase in the cost of production. Lron makers have been very slow this season in closing ore contracts, so much so that not 500,000 tons of ores had been purchased by local furnace' men np to March, as against 5,000,000 bought up before the month of January last- year. This conservative policy has borne iruit in that ores are now being placed at from $1 25 to $1 75 under last year's rates. For instance, No. 1 hard Angeline, which sold at ?7 25 last year, is now being contracted for at $6; section 16 holds about the same value. These ores are very fine, containing from 60 to 65 per cent of metallic iron, and from .012 to .018 of phosphorus, and are. conseaucntlv. verv desirable. Excellent Prospects for the Tear. Coke is selling at $1 90 on board cars, and there is a strong probability that it may be sold apoint or so less during the fall Any chance ot its rising in price is regarded as very-problematical. The prospects,'toragood year in the iron and steel trade are un doubtedly strong, and some brokers say it will not surprise them to see Bessemer touch 518 before the first of October. The price to-day is $16. Under the agreement between the half dozen manufacturers, steel rails cannot be sold under $30 here, 31.at Chicago, and $29 50 at the Eastern mills. While there is no very extensive construc tion .of new roads in contemplation, the re quirements for te construction and better ments due to the reasons already assigned will keep rail mills busy for some timo. STRICKEN WITH APOPLEXY. TV. T. Powell Xjing at HU Home on Sidney Street "With a Severe Attack. W. T. Powell, Vice President of the Builders' Association, is lying seriously ill at his residence on Sidney street, Southside. He was seized with a stroke of, apoplexy Saturday, and Dr. Mundorff was summoned. Late last night fears were entertained that the gentleman might not survive the attack. Mr. Powell lost- his wife only a few days ago, and he has himself been very far from well since, having taken his afflic tion very much to heart. "WiU Visit the Hills. Prof. Bobert H. Bichards, with a party of ten students from the Boston School of Technology, registered at the "St Charles Hotel yesterday. They expect to remain in f "' - -fc. I . !.- i . jMMIV Nearly 80,000,000 Hnshels Expected to Go Ont on the June IUse Most of It May Be Gotten Away To-Right An Active Scene. The scenes along the wharf yesterday pre sented quite a contrast to the past week. Every one seemed to be in a hurry, and all were looking anxiously for reports from up the river. These reports are encouraging, and by 5 o'clock this evening nearly 20,000, 000 bushels of coal will be afloat, bound for Southern ports. If sufficient water comes for coal boats the general schedule will be changed, but at present the owners are pre paring for a large rise. The following is a list of the boats that expect to leave to-day: For Joseph Walton & Co. Joseph Wal ton, 14 barges and 1 fuel; Joseph Nixon, 14 barges and 1 fuel; Maggie, 12 barges andl fuel: Clifton, 12 carges; Delta, 10 barges a total of 02 barges and 3 fuel flats, with 45 coal boats awaiting sufficient water to get away. For T. M. Jenkins Coal Valley, 10 light boats: Frank Gilmore, 14 barges; Robert Jenkins, 8 barges and 4 boats. The Time Coal Company will get away with 8 barges and 8 light boats by the Tide, and Little Bill will take 10 barges. For Horner & Boberts, the Baymond Horner will take 16 barges and 8 fuels; the W. G. Horner 12 barges. O'Neil & Co. will send out the Fred Wil son with 17 barges, Tom Bees 17 barges and Little Fred 12 barges. ' The Crescent Coal Company will send the Crescent with 11 barges and four boats. W. H. Brown's Sons will send ten boats, with an average of 14 barges each, all bound for Cincinnati, Memphis or St. Louis. The list follows: Charles Clark, James Gil more, Percey Kelsey, Cruiser, Voyager, Charles, Jim, Harry, Sam and Alice Brown, nearly 2,500,000 bushels being distributed among ten boats. W. W. O'Neil will send out about 42 barges and eight boats, as follows: Dick Fulton, 17 barges; Enterprise. 14 barges; Little Dick, ten barges; Belle McGowan, eight boats. John A. Wood & Co. will send out four boats, with an average of 12 barges each. The John A., Jim, S. L. and Dave Wood will comprise the fleet, Besides the regular Boats, a few inde pendents will leave the Veteran No. 2, with 10 barges; Ark, 12 barges; Lud Keefer, 12 barges; Onward, 12 barges; Tom Dodsworth, 17 barges; Coal Valley, 12 barges; Acorn, 12 barges; Du Bois, 14 barges; Boas, 18 barges. The Iron Duke and Iron Age, of the Ten nessee Biver Navigation Company, will leave with large tows, consisting mainly of steel rails. The marks now show 6 feet 8 inches and rising slowly, and the indications from all points assure a barge rise and probably coal boat water by this evening. MANY SIX-DOLLAB DELEGATES. Amalgamated Convention Has a Majority of Them, but Jfot Tiro-Thirds. The radical delegates in the Amalgamated Convention are making a strong effort to carry 56 a ton for boiling iron. The scale has been under discussion now since Wednes day, and it is expected that a vote will be taken on it to-morrow evening. The fullest latitude has been allowed the supporters of the increase by the chairman.,' Though these delegates have a majority in the convention, having the support of the roughers and catchers, who arc out for an other 5 per cent of the mill earnings, it is regarded as very doubtful if they can so in fluence the convention as to carry their point It requires a two-thirds majority to alter the scale as reported, and it is said that 200 of the 300 delegates cannot be gotl to see the advisability of a 50-cent advancer' If the convention is" earned on this point there is no cloubt that a strike will follow as the iron manufacturers will not accept a proposition for an increase in wages, though the fall prospects for the trade may be fairly good. TO BE DONE BY C0NTBACT. The Pennsylvania Company "Will Try ' Plan of Keeping Up the' Roadbed. , The engineers of the Pennsylvania road are about to introduce a new plan for keep ing up the roadbed. Instead of having the section boss with his gang the road will be divided, into seven-mile lengths, and contractors will be asked to bid on main taining this part of the line. The company deals only with the contractors and he is allowed to pay his men and deal with them as ho sees fit. This will relieve the pay master of the company and will greatly simplify the paying system. It is not known how the scheme will work nntil it is tried. On the surface it is not very promising, as the public has little confidence in this kind of contract jobbery. The same method of doing work will be adopted in the shops after awhile. GAS FBEE OF COST. A Western Chemist "Who Makes a Fine Fuel From Iiocal CoaL A gentleman who has recently returned from the West describes the operation of a new patent which he saw. in operation at the, plant of the Springfield Iron and Steel Company, Springfield, III. The works are being run on gas produced from the coal found in the immediate vicinity of the. works; under a system invented by Dr. Henning, the company's chemist Dr. Henning has succeeded in saving the bi-broducts, coal tar and ammoniac skim mings, the price obtained for which covers the cost of making the gas. The tar is sold in St Louis at S5 a barrel. The gas is used in both the tearing and open-hearth fur naces. A PLENTIFUL SUPPLY OF GAS. The Fort Pitt Glass Company's New "Well One of the Best In Its Region. The -omission of one word in an item in yesterday's Dispatch regarding the bring ing in of a gas well by the Fort Pitt Glass' ComDanv made an inference onnosite to the facts. One of the best wcUs yet found in the Grapeville belt was struck on Saturday within a short distance from the works. The new well will give the company a plentiful supply for its immense works and provide sufficient gas to accommodate the residents in the 40 or 50 new houses which the company has lately erected for its em ployes. A MAMMOTH PLATE MILL. The Garrison Foundry Company at "Work on an Immense Plant The Garrison Foundry Company is con structing a plate mill for the Wellman Iron and Steel Company at Chester, Pa,, which, will be the largest in the country, if not in the world. It will be a 3-high mill, the upper and lower rolls being 132 inches on the face and 35 inches thick, and the middle xbll 24 inches thick. The product will be mainlyboiler plates, and mostly for the Baldwin Locomotive Works, Philadelphia. Other foundries are busy on smaller plate mills, not a few for tinned plate-making being in hand. Car Builders' Meeting. A carload of master car builders from Chicago passed through the city last even ing, bound for the ainual meeting at Cape May. It appears it will be more of a social event than a gathering where great things will be accomplished. An Agent to Be Married. Charles T. Appleby, local passenger agent for the Santa Fe road, will be mar ried next Monday to a young lady of Terre Haute. Mr. Appleby is popular with his fellows and the public And Eainy Weather Proved Too Much for Hotel Quests Yesterday. PLAINTS ABOUT PEMSY TEAINS. Congressman Mills Will Smash the Tariff if Elected Speaker. THE CUSTOM 0P TREATING DYING OUT The raw, damp weather of yesterday kepi the guests at the hotels indodrs. It de pressed their spirits also and, if not sleeping or dreaming, the boys had a vacant stare that forboded little news or brilliancy in ideas. Nobody had a story to tell and few wanted to be bothered. The American cus tom of eating a heavy Sunday dinner is bad, but then Yankee methods and habits need to be reformed generally if the gibes of foreigners can be taken as truth and not a low form of 'jealousy. Most everybody, however, will agTefe that a rich dinner on a wet day is not conducive to good digestion or agreeable tempers. It is not surprising, therefore, that dyspepsia ruled in the hotels yesterday. A bright and ob servant doctor at the Anderson soon dis covered the fact, and he boldly declared that the water from the heavens was wrong fully held responsible for many of the ills of human life. Necessity of Breathing Fresh Air. "How look at these drummers," he said, pointing his finger to a crowd in the lobby. "They have eaten too much, and what they need most is a run in the parks or a sharp walk, but they shrug their shoulders, look at the leaden skies, and remark to them selves that it is too disagreeable to take an airing. One of the healthiest persons I ever met was a man who spent so many hoars daily in the open air, rain or sunshine. He seldom had a cold or felt an ache, and ai rways prepared for the weather. If it was wet ne was caretul to Keep his leet drv and body warm. He enjoyed a snow storm and got music out of the pelting of the rain. This man had the right idea. God never meant that people should be housed np on rainy days, and the sleepy, tired feel ing is nature's protest If you would live, get out and enjoy the air. I knew another gentleman' wlio had the consumption. Doctors'said he couldn't live a few months. That was 20 years ago, and hef is still alive. He reasoned" that consumption was nothing more than a lack of oxygen, and he changed his habits of life so that he spent the greater part of the time with the skies for the roof of his home. He would sleep in a tent during the summer, and that man has been a useful citizen and I an example to othersafflicted with the dread uisease. xe win aie some aay, oi course, ,but he has started in to prolong life, and nas oeen successtui. Discrimination Against Pittsburg. The new trains on the Pennsylvania road between New York and Chicago are of great importance to travelers. Pittsburg, how ever, should apologize to the trunk line for living, and the ghostly hours at which these i flyers reach this city shows that the gas town was not counted on in making up the schedules. "Pity you people haven t another- good line East and West," remarked a New York business man at the Duquesne yesterday. "A com petitor would bring tne Pennsylvania peo ple to time. J These fast express trains with no extra charge should have been furnished long ago, and it is the Xew lork Central that is compelling the Pennsylvania road to make the improvement About three months ago the Central put on the Southwestern limited to Chicago, itie an" as a result thev have been carrvine" most of the through business between the two cities. Outside of the 'limited,' the passenger accommodations out of Pittsburg to Chicago are miserable. The new trains "will leave here at 120 and 4:45 in the morn ing, but nobody cares to have sleep broken in this fashion. Going east the trains are all right You have no idea how the travel ing men complain abont the Western trains. . They leave at bad hours and are snail-like in their movements. If the Baltimore and Ohio would brace up and establish its new through fine to Chicago, a change for the better would certainly come." Drinking No More.Compulsory. Several railroad men high up in the pas senger departments of Western lines were enjoying a smoke in the corridor of the Monongahela House passenger agents as a rule are convival men; they have to be from the nature of their business. Some one suggested a drink for the crowd, from force of habit, but as it was Sunday the de sire was not gratified. One of them remarked that he had quit drinking and he was glad to note thev great change that had come over people. A few years ago a man 'would be offended if you refused to accept his invita tion, and it was also the custom to ridicule n. nerson who wouldn't drink. Manv weak people were thus indnced to imbibe who( man t want it. is own one aeennes to ac cept a glass nothing is thought about it and the mean remarks about a fellow being tied to his mother's apron strings or living in mortal fear of his wife are never heard. The practice of "setting them up," also, when tickets are sold, is on the wane. The time was when people expected it, and the agent was in duty bound to supply the liquor. Happily this custom is on the decline and a great deal of useless drinking is avoided. The Hard Lines of Ballroad Ufa. The talk turned to the-hard lines of rail road life. "I would rather walk ten miles anytime," said one of the agents, "than ride, and yet people who take short jour neys now and then envy us. They think how delightful it is to spin through the country, DUt they forget the aches and pains that accompany the riding. Men who travel much on trains are sure to contract kidney diseases. Many a time I have left a car after a long trip with such a sore back that I could scarcely straighten my body. The heavy jolting, doctors tell me, is re sponsible for the result. This is one reason why railroad men should leave alcoholic stimulants alone. In their irritated condi tion beer will soon make the kidneys as tough as leatner. or that matter, I am informed thattanbark is often used in mak ing the foaming beverage, and the tannic acid would soon convert the stomach into hide." It appears that newspapers at large made much ado about the blunder of two local detectives in mistaking a Cleveland million aire for a counterfeiter at the Duquesne Hotel. The detectives made the claim that two bills bore the same number. William Witherowwas laughing yesterday about this display of ignorance on the part of officers. He was r ' five years in the United States depository here, and has had consid erable experience in handling money. The number was to designate the series, and caused all the trouble. Mr. Witherow sug gested that counterfeit detectives should post themselves better about their business. little Faith In a Legislator. W. A. Smith, editor of the Punxsutawney Spint, with no other baggage than an old Jefferson county umbrella under his arm, walked into the Monongahela House early yesterday morning. After registering his name the clerk said: "You were a member of the last Legislature we're you not, Mr. Smith?" "I was." "Well, you will have to pay in advance: 51 CO, please." The joke was tdo good for Mr. Smith to keep. Some of his friends when they heard about it were very indignant, but Smith is a good-natured man, and takes it that the clerk knew his business. In speaking of the event yesterday afternoon he said: - "1 felt rather nattered when I saw the clerk recognize me, but his request to pay in ad vance was not much of a compliment to me or the Legislature, which?" Mr. Smith's friends-had plenty, oi1 fun- yesterday guying him, and ha took it, like all newspaper men would, as a good joke. MILLS HOLDS HIS TONGUE. After the Speakership Fight Is Settled He "Will Declare Himself His Success Means a Slaughter of the McKlnley Bill The TexanBTopeful. v Congressman Eoger Q. Mills, the Texas tariff reformer, as he calls himself, and his wife, were at the Union station last even ing going to Washington. John McBride, the Washington correspondent of the Cin cinnati Enquirer, was on the same train. Mr. Mills said he was not talking ahout the Speakership fight, as he bad no desire to stir up the other candidates. He will stay in Washington until Congress opens, and is preparing himself for the battle of his life. "I have always been a worker," he saidj "and I have much work to do this summer. I want to study, for one thing, and seconds- well, there is nothing like being on thet grounu. nmrouT can preaici now nuo will be elected. The situation is all chaos. I see that some of the Republicans have; been saying nice things about me. They are clever fellows, though they differ from me, but I like them. We often say very sharp things in debate, and the practice ought to be stopped, but I don't think political opponents hold much malice off the floor of the House, or on it, for that matter. I am still a tariff reformer, and if I am elected Speaker the McKiriley bill will certainly be slaughtered. The tax on tin plate, coal and iron will be pulled down or knocked off. but with a Re publican Senate and President the tin plate duty is assured for some time. Why should we not have reciprocity with England as well as South America? They buy 50 times more from- us than the people below the equator. Trade is based on exchange, and this principle should be recognized. Eng land buys from us, why shouldn't we pur chase from the English? "As for the new partf, the life will be thrashed out of it in short order. The He publicans are shrewd people, and will dally with it for awhile, but when it comes to voting, Republicans and Democrats will vote tne party ticket. I have seen third parties before. But, oh, 'what a whimsical, wanton blunder the Republicans made in taking up the force bill. Why, the Sonth was resolidified for the next 20 years, the very outcome which they were anxious- to prevent." " ' Mr. Mills was asked if he still backed Cleveland. With a wink of his off eye he re plied that he was a candidate, and at present was not expressing any preferences. After the Speakership is decided he will declare himself, but he predicted a lively battle for 1892. He thinks the Democrats will hold their own in the House. A LITTLE, WEAZENED IIAN. Sir JohnSIacdonald Reminded Observers of the Late Lord Beaconsfleld. "I had' the pleasure once of seeing Sir John Macdonald," remarked a young lady, last evening. "It was a few years ago at the .marriage of his son in To ronto. Sir John was present, and a great crowd gathered outside of the church to see the Canadian Premier. People will suppose from the prevailing pictures of his lull, round face that he was a large man, but the contrary is true. As I remember him he was a little, weazened fel low, with a large head and intelligent 'face. He reminded me very much of photographs I had seen of Lord Beaconsfield, and I gathered from people who knew him well that he wai much the same kind of a man. "Sir John Macdonald was the happy pos sessor of a very even temper. He seldom got angry, and had the knack of pouring oil on the troubled waters. The fact tthat he could attain a world-wide reputation within such a limited political sphere at tests the greatness of his ability." FUNEEAL OP, A PIBEM. T Many Friends of the Late TV. J.
