v-fr '" SHE PZTTSBTJIIG DISPATCH SATURDAY, JUNE 27, - 1891. far as I am concerned it will be fought in a gentlemanly manner. "On the steamer Congo there were adopted and framed a set ol resolutions and a testimonial, which a few days ago were finished. I was appointed to present them to this club, and consider it a very pleasant duty, indeed. The prin ciples of the Republican nartv are typified by such clubs as this. lamina position to draw comparisons from both ends of the State, and I can truthfully say that the League of Republican Clubs has been of much good. It gives a new impetus to secure success to the party. There is no f.olicy formulated that is of such benefit to lie partv as the idea of having good local clubs. The idea of the protective tariff is a first principle of the party. "We never had a clear-cut idea of the tariff until the campaign of 1888. I predict McKin lcv's election as Governor of the State of Ohio by a rousing majority. I have no faith in the voter who goes to the polls once in every four years, or once every year at most. I am a practical politician and be lieve that politics is the highest science a man can study. I will tell you why the party suffered such a sweeping de feat last JTovember. It was because the men who should have been at home refuting the falsehoods of our enemy were kept busy making tariff laws at "Washing ton. Could those men have been among their friends a short time before the elec tion the result would have been very differ ent. However, 3lx. Dalzell and I will be Tery lonclv in the Fifty-second Congress, and wc will not be kept at the Capitol to form a quorum. Advised to Work for 1803. The tariff measure is a splendid one, and when the people become familiar with its operations, it will be more widely com mended. I suggest to you to get to work for 1892. The same issues will be before the people, and the same standard-bearers will be there. The hour and the day are ripe for the annihila tion of all the factional feeling and party distentions. "We must combine against this common cnemv. President Harrison indorses the work of the League." Clarence Burleigh, in a short speech full of wit, accepted the gift on behalf of the club. This pleasant duty had been assigned to Mr. Dalzell, but he was not there. After the speech-making a committee was selected to place the gift on exhibition. It consists of a large frame of the photographs of the people who went on the excursion. After adjournment social intercourse was resumed. In the party from Philadelphia were Theodore B. Stiilb, a City Commissioner; Samuel Clement, J. A. Ennis, John Siner, John Smith, James MacBrine, George L. Pfouts and "William Griffith. Mr. Stulb stated that the members of the party were close adherents of Jack Robinson, and he was sure to be elected to the presidency of the State League. The isitors were taken ior a drive to Schenlcy Park, where lunch ' was served, and to the Homewood driving track. They were much pleased with their reception by the club. Mr. Robinson Extremely Confident. In spcakinc of his chances at the Monon gahela House, yesterday, John B. Robinson paid: "The Eastern leaders are with rne.and I will go into the convention with two dele gates to Mr. Dalzell's one. I announced myself as a candidate a year ago. I under stand the opposition is organizing mush room club'. 1 am not in that business. That kind of sewer politics will lower the fctandintrof the league, and it won't be my fault if it is done. 3Ir. Dalzell is a member of the Pennsyl vania Club in Philadelphia and I expected them to indorse him. It was not a surprise to me. That is the only club in the Quaker City he will have." Mr. Robinson said he would take the Ftuinp in the fall for McKinley. He thought if Pattison were nominated for President bv the Democrats he would carry Pennsylvania. He thinks Harrison is the most available Republican. He added that the State Treasurer fight was between Thompson and Morrison,with the old sol diers solid for the latter. Colonel Bayne figures that Morrison will have a walk-over. Mr. Robinson is a warm advocate of a Con stitutional Convention, and he.will indorse any argument in its favor that can be ad vanced. J. 1$. Laux, editor of the Greensburg JVcm, w as in the city yesterday. Mr. Laux used to be President of the Republican club there. He said they lost the county last fall, and the Republicans were keeping out tif all fights for the sake of harmony. The club will send delegates to the League Con--v ention, but he thought they would be un intructed. Mf. Laux thinks that Jack Robinson will some day be Governor of the State if he lives. He is a great admirer of the Media man.

Henry Knopf, a ti ell-to-do farmer and a man highly esteemed by his neighbors, met with a violent death, night before last, at his residence on Montour ruu, half a mile above Ewing's mill. Mr. Knopf climed to the mow above the floor in his barn, to ad just a hay carrier, and either missed his footing or lost his hold in some way, and fell on his head to the floor, a distance of some 11 feet. Mr. Knopf was about 45 years of age, and his aged mother lived with him. She had gone to the barn to take him a drink of water, and arrived just in time to tee him fall The-shoek overcame her and she fainted and lay unconscious so long that another woman of the household went to see what had become of her. "When the old lady revived she told the ttory. A Coraonohs doctor was sent for as Knopf was still breathing, but the doctor said recoverv was impossible, and death came at 3 o'clock yesterday morning. GONE UP IK SMOKE. A Hot "Waffle Man's "Wagon Brings Out the Allegheny Eire Department. At 10:50 o'clock last night an alarm of fire was turned in from box 91, Sandusky and Eric streets, Allegheny. "When the firemen armed they were surprised to see a vehicle of some sort in flames in the middle of San dusky street. A stream was turned on it and the fire put out in short order, when it was learned that it was a hot waffle wagon, and had been stored in Ritchie's boarding ttables, ISO Sandusky street. R. P. Davis, who lives nearby, observed the flames, and rushing in, pulled the blaz ing wagon into the street, in all probability saving the building. The waffle man had evidently been plying his trade among the t-chool children, and returned the wazon to the stable with some hot coals in the furnace. I The loss will be about S2o. BEADING A NEW PLAT. A Pittsburger Furnishes Carl Gardner "With His Next Season's Drama. A pleasant event of yesterday was the in itial reading of the new play, "Captain Karl," in which Charles Gardner will star next season. Sidney R. Ellis, of this city, who lias managed Mr. Gardner to a high fame, is also the author of the new play. The reading occurred at Dr. E. A. "Woods' office, on Sixth street, to a little knot of critics who united in declaring the play a charming romance with a strong soupcon of humor. The company will open the season at the Grand Opera House, Jsew York. Gnstave Klein, author of "The Lilacs," is building the music for the production. An East Ender's Story.

J BUD FORJOTTLERS, .A Prominent "Wholesaler Tells How Their Business Will Be Killed Under the New law. ON A LEYEL WITH THE BEEWEBS, Who Can Put Up and Dispose of Same Amount of Beer With Considerably Less Expense. the SDUXAE-EFFECTAIL OYER THE STATE. Other Brandies Will Also Feel the Besults of the New Eegulations. The new liquor law recently passed by the Legislature and signed bv Governor Pattison, promises to have a killing effect on at least one branch of the business. As has been previously stated in the Dis tatch the new law goes into effect at once, with the exception of the increase required in license fees. Judge "Wilson, of Phila delphia, in a decision renercd Thursday, confirmed this view of Oe matter, and the several provisions of thact regulating the sales of manufacturers, bottlers and whole salers are in force at present The decision above mentioned puts this beyond all question, and the large portion of Pitts burg liquor dealers are now complying with its provisions. "While the majority of the liquor men are not feeling very friendly toward the new law the bottlers are especi ally put out about it. .From present indi cations they have ample reason to feel so, for their business is very seriously crippled and perhaps killed. Knocking Out the Bottler. The trade of the bottler, which he has heretofore kept up to a good profit, can now be practically taken out of his hands by the brewer. Under the new law the brewer and bottler are put on the same level with regard to the sale of malt or brewed liquors. Judge "Wilson, after specifying the provisions of the new act re lating to wholesale liquor dealers, says: "Xor shall any brewer or bottler sell less than 12 pint bottles of brewed or malt liquors." This is regarded as practically the death blow to the bottling trade. Charles P. Mugele, of C. P. Mugele & Son, well-known wholesale liquor dealers of Fifth avenue, said last night: "Under the new law the bottlers all over the State are deprived of a large portion of their, business. Previous to this time they could make a good profit at their business. The brewer could sell nothing less than a gallon of beer, while the bottler could sell any quantity down to a quart. The amended law, which I under stand takes effect at once, allows the brewer not only to bottle' but to sell the same amount as the bottler, the limit of the latter having been raised to 12 pint bottles. The Result Not Hard To See. "It is easy to see what will be the result of this," continued Mr. Mugele. "The ad vantage of the bottler is lost and the brew ers can practically take all their trade by bottling their own goods. It will not pay for a bottler to purchase beer from a brewer, bottle and sell it, when the man who makes it can do the same and avoid all the cost of handling and transpor tation. Tne bottler, in thus attempting to keep even with the brewer, would lose money instead of making it. To all appear ances this regulation will put an end to bottling as a distinctive branch of the busi ness. The brewers can practically monopo lize the bottlers' trade in beer, and there will be little left for the latter." Mr. Mugele has made a careful study of the liquor laws of the State, and is confi dent of what he says. As a re sult, when next year's applications for license are made there will be very few bottlers amor.g them, except in cases where the applicants are located long distances from brewing establishments. Even'in these cases the fact that they can sell nothing less than 12 pints will malic the business ft much less profitable one than it was under former regulations. In the Same Boat as Bottlers. This has been already made manifest from the fact that several wholesale liquor deal ers have stopped selling beer. As fai as the 12-pint bottle arrangement is concerned, they are in the same boat as the bottlers. The privilege of selling beer by the quart has been denied them by the new law, and they will have little demandforit. Those who want to purchase more than six quarts of beer usually prefer getting it direct from the manufacturer. Quite a number of wholesalers have already noticed such a falling off in their beer trade that thc!y have decided to discontinue it.- Their example will doubtless be followed by oth ers, and before many weeks very few wholesale places can be found where beer or malt liquors of any kind can be bought HEW SLOT MACHINE. A Wheeling Man Intents Ono That "Will Hand Out a Bottle of Beer. E. M. Statler, of "Wheeling, is the in ventor of a dollar-in-the-slot machine which places a bottle of cold beer before the investor. Mr. Statler was at the Mononga hela House yesterday, and he said he had just secured a patent on his invention. It can be regulated to any amount of money from a dollar down to a nickel. The machine is quite extensive, and is provided with a refrigerator for keeping the liquids cooL He thinks he has a great scheme and sees a fortune ahead. He has several of the machines in operation in Pittsburg, and they work satisfactorily. RICHES Carpenter's letter from Mexico for THE DISPATCH to-morrow tells of mining methods and prospects there.

It was finally decided yesterday to hold the Second Brigade encampment this year at Arnold's Grove. GeneraL "Wiley with many of the regimental officers went out to the grove yesterday afternoon in a special car on ftie Allegheny Valley road. The party numbered about 60 and included the quartermasters. All the difficulties in the war' were adjusted, and the rent was fixed at An agreea ble price. "When the officers re turned they were entertained with a dinner at the Duquesne given by. Major Robert Patterson, of the Fourteenth Regi ment It was a very enjoyable affair. Ad jutant General McClelland, who happened to be in the city, was present and made' a speech. g ' . In the evening the candidates for commis sion in the regiments were examined by the board at the Monongahela House General "Wiley, who is President of the board, wag present for the first time in several years. Of the Regimental Colonels, only Hawkins, of Washington, and Kreps, of Mercer, were absent The board was made up of General "Wiley, Captain James A. Murdock, recorder, and' Colonels Willis J. Hulings, Norman M. Smith, P, D. Perchmcnt and Theo. Burchfield. This is the first time the latter has been present at an examination, though he is cxpeoted always to be on hand. There were 14 candidates from the Fifteenth Regiment, four from the Sixteenth and two from the Eighteenth. Colonel Hulings is an old school teacher, and the boys are usually a little more nervous when they face him. He has a habit of asking puz zling questions, and he seems to delight in the flounderings of his victims. STANDING BY TEE PACTJLTT. Annual Meeting of the High School Alumni Association. The annual meeting of the Alumni Asso ciation of the High School was held last night. New officers were elected, as fol lows: President, Dr. W. T. Burleigh, class of '81; First Vice President, A.

Therefore he it Resolved, That we, the members of the Alumni Association of thPittsburg Central High School, than whom none are ma better position to judge, do herehy express our en tire confidence in the faculty as now consti tuted, and our hearty appreciation of the marked success that has attended their earnest efforts in the cause of higher educa tion of the people at large. THAD STEVENS Ex-Chief Cleric Lloyd gives some charming reminiscences of Thad deus Stevens in THE DISPATCH to-morrow. He was an intimate friend of the great commoner. EELS FOE BIGAMY. George B. Owry Sent to Jail for Court Trial for Having Two Wives. A great crowd assembled at Alderman Soffel's office yesterday afternoon expecting a treat in the hearing in the bigamy case of George B. Owry. A letter from his first wife was.submitted in evidence, which was very conclusive. The attorney for the de fense tried to compromise by offering to pay the costs, also claiming that Owry had ob tained a divorce in Chicago, but the Alder man would not listen to the proposition, and Mrs. 2Toe, the prosecutrix, got angry and charged the attorney with neglecting to Eertorm certain work for which she said she ad paid him and refusing to return the money. The attorney said if she would let the suit drop he would pay her every cent she claimed he owed her. In the meantime, the Alderman made out the commitment of the prisoner to jail in default of $1,000 bail for the September term of court WHAT SOT EEVI8I0N MEANS Is the Only Point to Be Settled In the Mayor's Trouble. It is not likely that Mayor Gourley will take many steps toward discovering the exact powers of his office until after the Fourth of July celebration is off his mind. But as he has stated frequently through The Dispatch, he does not intend to allow his case to drop with simply letter-writing. Controller Morrow said yesterday: "The Mayor certainly has supervision of the de partments. Now the only question to de cide is what is 'supervision.' For my part I am willing to take Webster's definition, but that may not be sufficient in this case." POOLING WITH THE LAW. Fkexch E. H. Greeks is in jail under a chargo of misdemeanormade against him by W. H. Snowden before 'Squire McMillan, of Chartiers borough. Adolph RoTHLiiiEit wjas arrested by De tectives Shore and Bendel yesterday on re ceipt of a notice from Inspector Byrne, of New York, w here he is"jvanted on a charge of granu larceny.

They made a partial confession. James B. Beeches, wns being tried before Alderman McPike yesterday for deserting his wife, Alice, when another woman rushed in and claimed to bo his wife also. Both women have marrlago certificates and a bigamy suit is probable. J. B. Cole, who was arrested about six weeks ago on an information made against him by John Rcitz, was discharged yester day by Alderman McKenna. Colo was ac cused of being the lather of a child born to his step-daughter, Ella Beitz, a sister of tho prosecutor. Mrs. IvEYSEitwas arrested and placed in Central station yesterday on a charge of keeping a disorderly bouse. Her house was raided by Inspector McAleese. She lives at 18 Liberty street.

ONE CRAFT GIVES JX Building Trades Strike Weakened by Men Returning to Work. AGENT JONES IS STILL HOPEFUL. The Amalgamated Association Elects Officers and Adjourns. ALL GLASS HOUSES SHUT DOWN TO-DAT The strike of the building trades was again weakened yesterday by stonemasons return ing to work. The men had been out for nine weeks, and 700 Wen had been without work. Many of them had been driven to des peration by reason of the fact that they had no funds in the treasury to support them while out. They were locked out on April 26, and they then decided to demand eight hours and 43 cents an hour, but at least 175 men returned to work yesterday at nine hours and 40 cents an hour. Over 100 of those who returned to work are accounted for as follows: Buente & Mar tin, 20; "William "Whitehead, 12; Valentine ffi Berg, 15; Reese Lindsay, 9; Graff &Hem merbrush, 7; H. Moore, 8; Stewart, 10; Lauffer, 4; Kepple, 10; O'Connor & Collins, 5; H. "Woessncr, 3. It is admitted on all sides that the defeat of the stonemasons will go hard with the other trades, and as they are now working under the rules of the master stonemasons, it will give their own union a set-back. Ex-Agent Irwin Explains His Stand. Ex-Agent Irwin, of the carpenters, when seen yesterday said: "I stood up in various unions and-endeavored to counsel the boys to give up the fight I knew at the time it would cost me my , official head. But I knew I was doing the the best for the organization. I knew they were making a losing fight. The present leaders know it, but they do not want to acknowledge defeat. That's where they make a mistake. A good general would not drag an army of men through a losing battle and not give up when he saw he could not win. It is no dishonor to be defeated, and if the men had given up when they should have done so they would have saved their money for a more opportune time." Mr. Irwin clings to the position he took when he was impeached. He will be tried to-night by his union in the East End, for a violation of his obligation, but he has little fear that the result will not be favorable to him. The Master Builders More Confident President Fulmer of the Master Builders' Association, talked yesterday as though he thought the stonemasons' defeat would mean the overthrow of the carpenters. "They can't win now," said he; "although I don't believe the strike will ever be de clared off. It is settling itself, and while I do not suppose much will be done before the Fourth of July, I think that by the Monday following all the men who can find work will be on duty. As for myself, I have no contracts on hands. I have here (holding up plans for a building) the first set of plans I have fig ured on since the strike commenced. They are for a house that will cost about 81,400. I feel safe in figuring on it, because if I get the job I know I can get the men to do the work." The Board of Directors of the Builders' Exchange met yesterday and passed a reso lution practically rescinding their former action, which required a permit for every sale of material, and affords opportunity to its members to sell to whoever they please. The business of the Union Supply Com pany is said to be increasing so rapidly that new quarters were necessary. Office room has been secured in the Excelsior building. Yesterday a number of additional journey men left their names at the headquarters with the statement that they were ready to go into the contracting business. All the special agents claimed yesterday that the stonemasons' defeat would have no effect on the carpenters' strike and that mat ters are yet in good shape. Meetings of Various Unions. A special meeting of the Plasterers' union will be held to-day at 10 o'clock, and it is intimated that they will be the next to con test the position of the bosses. Bricklayers' Union No. 2 met last night, and discussed the situatio . The brick layers at Wheeling have taken up the fight, supporting the local journeymen. Special Agent Jones, of the stonemasons, when seen last night said he did not con sider their fight a hopeless one. He insisted that it hod been misrepresented in some re spects. He asserted that his union had $3,500 in bank, so that the strike could not have failed for want of funds. In regard to the number of men each firm was reported as having, he said that Buente & Martin have no men at work; "William Whitehead 8,instcad of 12; Valentine &Berg 9, and not 15 as reported; Reese Lindsay 4, instead of 9, and other firms have a few scattered employes. He thinks the union has not lost more than 50 men, and most of those who went to work are Italians and non-union men. Union 230 appointed a committee last night for the purpose of trying the charges against E. A. Holmes. The same union will find it necessary to bring charges against their secretary. A. G. C. Rhodes was em ployed at Schuette & Co.'s, but when he made up his mind to go to work again they had no place for him. He is now working for A. & S. Wilson. IRON W0BEEBS ADJOURN. Amalgamated Scale Left in the Hands of the Conference Committee. The Amalgamated Association adjourned last night shortly after 8 o'clock. The busi ness of the session was wound up, officers elected and the scale placed in the hands of the conference committee with power to act. The election of officers occupied the whole of the afternoon session. President Weihe, Secretary Madden, Assistant Secretary Kilgallon and Treasurer Penney were all re-elected without opposition. There was a lively skirmish for trustees. Ed A. Keil, the, present incumbent; John Man sell,' of "i'oungstown; Jerry Dougherty and John Pcarce, of the Southside, were the candidates. The contest was a lively one. Keil was elected on the first ballot, but, after the voting had continued for some time. Dougherty withdrew, leavine the field open for the other two, who were elected. All of the Vice Presidents, with the exception of "William AVhiteman, from Muncie, Ind., were re-elected. Interest over the scale increases. Another conference will be held this" morning. Af fairs seem to have taken a turn in regard to the scale. There are a great many who think that the nine-hour clause will be allowed to remain but that other concessions will be made in order to even up on the deal. It was discovered yesterday that some of those who are the most bitterly opposed to the nine-hour clause are men whose mills have been work ing under the proposed rule, some of them foryenfs. It is thought that few of the local manufacturers will sign now, but will postpone final action on the matter as long as they can in order to secure all the conces sions possible. ADVANCED THE PBICES. Makers of Lantern Globes Meet and Discuss the Trade. A number of manufacturers of lantern globes met at the Duquesne yesterday to discuss the trade. They were very mysteri ous about what was done, and little informa tion could be obtained. Prices were ad vanced about 10 per cent The rates have been cut so badly during the last few years that the makers agreedto bury the hatchet and maintain living prices. Among those present were R. H. Cabb, "Warren, O.; P. L. Salmon, Syracuse, War- ren McArthur, Chicago, and Fred Dietz, New York. AOTrtJAL SHUTDOWN TO-DAT. Glass Factories All Over the Country Sus pend Business. The summer shutdown in the glasshouses throughout the country takes place to-day. The boys will hail the day with delight, and the next six or eight weeks will be spent at camp or seashore resting up for the next fire. The season just closed has not been a too prosperous one. At one time over 20 win dow houses were shut down owing to dull trade. Tbe'flint trade was bad. But the worst of all for the men is the fact that the flint manufacturers have as yet refused to sign the scale, and the window manufactur ers want a reduction in wages. " Industrial Notes. All three of the Eliza furnaces are now in blast Tehemeht houses are needed badly at Dunbar. The demand for wrought Iron pipe is Im proving. The Sharon Iron Company has resumed operations. The window glass trade is quiet, both lo cally and generally. Measville has secured the location of an extensive shirt factory. The new improvements at the Edith blast furnace will cost $200,000. AnDiTioss to the plant of the Pittsburg Clay Pot Company will shortly bo made. It Is stated that tho Columbia Iron and Steel plant will surely be started in the near future. Comr & Nimick, glass decorators, of the Southside, contemplate erecting a large plant at Derry. Thirty millioit bushels of coal have been shipped to points in the South during the present month. The Oliver Iron and Steel Company.Oliver & Roberts and the Hainsworth Steel Com pany have adopted the Murphy stoker. The Mt. Laurel furnace of the Clymer Iron Company, which was forced out of blast on May 30 by falling walls, resumed this week. The Allegheny Mining and Development Company are reported to have decided to build a rolling mill and rail mill at Clifton Forge, Va. The Standard Glass Works factory, whioh was damaged by the late flood, has been re paired, and operations will be resumed with the nex$ fire. S. D. Hubbard, of this city, has disposed of his entire interest in the Nellis-Hubbard Company, engaged in the manufacture of agricultural implements, located at Butler. The Carroll-Porter Boiler and Tank Com pany have just completed an order for four tanks 10 feet in diameter and 30 feet long, to be used in storing crude oil nt the new steel plant of tho Pennsylvania Steel Company.of Sparrows Point, Md. SCHOOL BOARD MEETING. The Thirteenth Ward Directors Be-EIect Old Teachers, but Fall on a Principal. The School Board of the Thirteenth ward met last evening and re-elected all the old teachers for the ensuing year, with the ex ception of principal, Prof. C. A. Riddle hav ing resigned for the purpose of practicing law. There were 24 applicants for the va cant position. After 24 ballots had been taken, with no choice, the Board adjourned until next Friday. But eight of the candi dates received votes on any of the ballots. The vacancies existing tor assistant prin cipals were held over, owing to Miss Mc Mullin being a candidate for principal, she being one of the assistant principals last year. It is thought that Prof. R. R. Dewer will be elected at the next meeting. FUN IN A BARBEB SHOP. George SchafTer Gets Full of Tanglefoot and Smashes His Belongings. George SchafTer, a barber of 157 Wylie avenue, got into a dispute with his partner over some financial matters yesterdayfter noon. He left the shop and proceeded to load up with firewater. After getting full he proceeded to the shop and commenced to smash things in general. Mirrors, shaving mugs and every thing breakable was destroyed. The barber was finally arrested bv Special Officer Ken nedy and landed in the Eleventh ward sta tion! A Free Southside Dispensary. A free medical dispensary is proposed for the Southside. The Board of Managers of the Southside Hospital, it is said, will dis cuss the matter at its next meeting, July 7. The funds necessary to run such an institu tion have been guaranteed by a Southside philanthropist, who does not yet allow his name to be used. It is proposed to run an institution similar to the Pittsburg Free Dispensary on Sixth avenue. Glad Enough to Leave the City. A. Hanson, G. M. Watt and H. Clark, the alleged crooked land schemers, were es corted out of town last night by the police authorities. Yesterday the three prisoners returned all the money collected in this city.

A Delegate to the Amalgamated Conven tion Pays His Compliments to the City Peculiarities of the Streets and Police Force A Look at the City by Night H. W. Spencer is a member of the Amal gamated Convention. He hails from Joliet,' I1L, and was never in Pittsburg previous to the present session of the National Lodge. Mr. Spencer is quite an orator and has figured prominently in the adoption of the new scale. He is also a writer of consider able ability. The current number of the Stedicorker, published at his home, contains a description of his first visit to the 'Smoky Citv" written hv Mr. Hnencer himself. He pays his compliments to Pitts burg as follows: The first thing that struck me was the fact that Pittsburg has no streets, but an inter minable lot of alleys running in every direc tion. The greatest number of triangular plots to a given area seems to have been the leading ambition of the persons who origi nally platted the town. I can get lost any time in'flve minutes; but all a person has to do when lost is to keep right on, and in a short time he will come back to tho starting point. Nearly all of the buildings and side walks are brick. Their sanitary system is a strange one in regard to waste water, but to do Justice I must say that) their system of street cleaning is worthy of emulation. Every night all the principal alleys are run over with a street sweeper, and the refuse carted away. The alleys are uaved with cobble stones, and are so rough" that when riding or walking over them you must keep your tongue in your month or you will bite It off. Another very peculiar phenomenon is the police. He is a different person from his western brother. By their carriage you would not imagine that they owned tho United States, or even the city. If you ask a question they will answer it civilly, or walk a block to show you something, or to direct you somewhere; and when seven or eight persons are standing on the sidewalk and blockading travel, they don't come and tapj-ou on the shoulder and say -move on," but they walk up and stand beside you, and seem perfectly happv to see people step off tho sidewalk to get byl I had been waiting for a clear day to visit Mt. Washington and look over the city. It lies between great bluffs, seveial hundred feet high, and Mt. Washington isthe highest point on the well, I won't say whether it is the east, west, north or south, for I cannot find anyone that knows the points of the compass; hut it is the highest around hero. I kept asking when it would be clear, and the renlv was "to-morrow " FInallv one honest person informed me that it was smoke, and that it would never be clear: that if I wanted to see tho city I must go up in the night. I thought that the night was a queer time to see a city, but since then I have visited the place, and no words of mine can do Justice to tho grandeur of the scene. A lot of us took a trip down the river Sun day last week on a pleasure steamer. The scenery is grand, the wooded bluffs rising in fantastic shapes and forms, and bright with different colors. It was a scene to rest and inspire one, and sitting in the bow of the boat, drinking the fresh air after the smoke of the city, I had tho only poetic inspiration I ever felt. It was quite a shock about 40 volts, I should judge. I took out pencil and note book, and who can say what might have been had not one of the boys at this Juncture come down from the deck and slapped me on tho shoulder asking if I had any "tobies" along. If you don't know what "tobies" are, Burke or Washar can inform you. I am afraid I shall never have another chance to immortalize myself, arfd naturally my appetite is not as good as usual.

Leonard Hilton, the young colored man who was shot by Richard Schooler, also col ored, over a game of cards in a shauty on Hill street, Hardscrabble, last Sunday night, died at the Homeopathic hospital at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Magistrate Gripp went to take Hilton's dying deposi tion three times, but he insisted that he was not going to die, and the deposition could not be taken. In less than an hour atfer the last visit Hilton sank into unconscious ness. The Coroner was notified and the body being removed to the morgue, a jury was empaneled, and the inquest was adjourned until a post mortem examination can be held.
