ASSISTANT ATTORNEYS' PAY.
A Krsolutlon to Compensate Them for
Work Previously Done Jttcets'Wltli Con
siderable Opposition in the Common
Branch Did "ot Krarh Select.
In Common Council Mr. MacGonnigle pre
sented a re-olution for tho payment of tho
Assistant City Attorney. Mr. O'Donnell
objected to paying the salaries Irani tho
tinio that the Department of Iaiw was dc-cla.-ed
illegal. Tliev had dono the work, but
the cit had not authorized their employ
ment. Mr. Ferguson If tho city did not dispenso
-n itli the r-en ices of thce gentlemen the city
is liable.
Mr. O'Donnell Tho offices having been
abolished they as ere not in tho employ of the
citv.
Aiote was taken and the resolution was
lost by one olo.
Halt an hour later Mr. Flinn moved to re
considr r the action. lie said when he had
voted against this resolution he did not
know the period ot paj was limited to Au
gust 1, but thought tho pa would continue
indchnilclv. These men had earned their
jnonev ninl should be paid, although ho was
ii la vor ol stopping the pay at July 1 instead
of August 1.
Mr. Slageo explained tho work done by tho
assistant city attornej s and aid there was
no corporation doing live per cent ofthe bus
iness thi:-citj doc that is not paying more
lor legal services. Mr. Uigham also spoke
of tho workthe had done audits value to
ihecin.
The motion to reconsider was wit-sed.
Then Mr. O'Donnell raised the point of order
that the resolution did not agree with the
title. In the resolution the names of Messrs.
damnhim aud Burleigh were not mentioned,
but the words "assistant city attorneys"
n ere ucd. As there are no such offices now
Mr. O'Donnell objected. Mr. ISigham moved
to amend b inserting the names of Messrs.
Carnahau and Burleigh and making tho pny
"for service rendered at the instance of tho
citv attorney."
Mr. O'Donnell said thcro hnd been too
much employing men and then asking
Council to pay. "We are nothing," ho said,
"but the t-cr lie tools of the heads of tho
departments."
Mr. Kussell moved to change the date
Irom August 1 to July 1. This was defeated.
Mr. O'Donnell nun ed that after Jul-1 tho
services ul Messrs. Carnahau and Burleigh
should be dispensed w ith.
Mr. Bigham said the City Attorney had
so much w oi k under the new street law that
he must Have help. Mr. IJussell said that he
understood an ordinance was in prepara
tion for employing these assistants. Let
that ordinance come up and then let the
assistants be employed. First authorize it
and then do it. lie believed that assistance
wys required, but he wanted it procured
legally.
Mr. O'Donnell said he couldn't understand
"why the parties ho contiol these Councils
can't do things legillj . It is just as easy as
tbeotlivr waj."
jW. rt'Dounell's amendment was defeated.
Mi. Itigham's amendment was adopted, and
the resolution as amended was adopted
without opposition. Mr. O'Donnell was sur
prised and asked w hy the yoas and nays
were not called. The Chair answered that
a standing vote had been taken; the reap
mm ua j w ere not asked lor and w ere not

FOR DISABLED POLICEMEN.
The Ordinance Creating a Itelief Fund
Passes the Select Branch Many Sources
From. Which the Money Is to Bo
Derived. i .
The police disability fund ordinanco came
up in Select Council from the TublicSafety
Committee.
Mr. Keating I am In favor of uch an
ordinance, hut since it goes into effect im
mediately it would bo well to investigate
the clty's'flnances-bofore acting on it.
Mr.Lamble We will amend the bill so as to
make it inoperative berore February 1, 1832.
Under this bill one-half of money derived
from dog licenses would become part of tho
fund. To my surprise I learned that dog
licenses this rear will yield not less than
$4,000 and possibly $1,500. Tho fund gels $2,500
of that money, and it has not even been con
sidered as income in the appropriation ordi
nance of this year. One-half ot all peddlers,
pawnbrokers and show licenses go to tho
tund. This sum would probably reach $500.
One-half the costs legally payable to the city
from police cases. Criminal Court witness
fees, etc., also become a part of the fund.
This sum cannot bo estimated closely, but
it will only bo a few hundred dollars. An
other souice of revenue to tho proposed
fund wouldbcoue-nrthof all Dncsand pen
alties in tho police courts. This sum lrrfull
last year was $70,000, but the vcar previous
it was but $33,000, and this year will
not bo likely to exceed $10000. The last
source from "which an addttiou is provided
for tho fund is tho saleof wonioutapparatus
and horses of tho police and lire bureaus.
This could not bemoro than $W)or $C03m
ona year. Thus only about $12,00J would
come to tho fund In ono j ear, and certainly
the citv finances conld stand that much.
Dr. Fh-ans It would be better to take tho
money Irom the general treasury.
Mr. Lamble thought differently. Mr.
Keating withdrew his objections and tho
ordinanco passed. It did-not reach Com
mon. WILL HAVE AN0THEB CHAHCE.
The Toor Tarm Matter Again Goes Beforo
the Mayor.
Mayor Gourlcy was seen yesterday after
noon at the conclusion of tho Council "meet
ing mid asked what he thought of tho
passage of tho Poor Farm ordinance over
his veto. "I expected notliing.else,'' said he,
"and am thankful that a few of tho
members, had the courage to oxprcss their
appreciation of mi- position ii'ow I will
make a little prediction. A Poor Farm w ill
be purchased at a cost of about $G0 J per acre.
It will bo on a liver front aud will not be
less than 3C0 acres in area."
"Will you have anything further to say in
tho matter?" .. -
"Yes, I think so. It Is my'opinion that
after the farm Is selected by the Chief of the
Department of .Charities it will have to be
ratified by an ordinance. The pres
ent ordinance does not designate
tho exact form, and 1 do not believe the clty
can purchase any piece of property without
an ordinance especially naming the prop
erty. Another ordinance will be necessary,
and it will consequently come to me lor ap
proval." '
The Mayor was asked whetherheproposed
taking tho question into the 'courts, but re
plied in the negative.
ETEEET BALWAY-PBIVILEGES.

prove are, that A. G. Budd was guilty of tho
robbery and that tho tools and miners' lamp

pected. '

and identified by the wick, which had a
piece of suing on ono end, and which the

through the .spout, instead of putting it
through the body of the lamp first, tho lat
ter being the proper way. The two pieces

liai ity about the wick of this lamny
Mr. Mun'liy Well, I have used such
lamps, having been a miner nearly all my
life, and ought to be able to tell when a
wick is put in rieht or wrong At this re

so that it could bo put through the bowl of
the lamp and tho wick pulled out through
the tube. When Provinco entered the storo
tho prisoner said "I'll put thcwifck,in. Yon
wait on that gentleman." The witness heard
Province tell the defendant he was putting
the wickin wrong. Thelampwas pmchased
tho afternoon before the robbery and he saw
the lamp in the possession of Detective 3Iur

tive that it was the same lamp he had sold.

small sample of black faille silk. Tlio sam
ple was like the piece in evidence. J. K.
Skelly, recalled, said the value 6f tlio silk
found in Snowden's house wns $1 50 per yard.
B. C. Kimmell corroborated Bosch's ovl
deneo. He knew Budd to havo been iu busi
ness for himself. Mrs. Marv Gloss, 5 Sixth
street, was also offered silk by tho prisoner.
Expectation Away Up on Tiptop.
There was a rustle of expectation through
the room when tho name of Laura Snowden
was called by Mr. Bobb. The peOplo in tho
lobby craned their necks to get a view of
tho court. Judge Slagle changed his posture
on the bench, and the occupants of the scats
in tho main room took . up now; positions.
After' a short interval a, tall, Blender girl
aroso from a seat on tho soutli side of the
room, near tho prisoners' dock. This was
Laura Snowden. She wad attired in a dark
cloth dress with velvet sleeves and trims
mlngs, and,woro a black hat, relieved by a
drab ribbon. Tbcie was an absence of orna
ments from her person, and a thin black,
Tell concealed the upper portion of her face.
She appeared a trifle palo and nervous -when
her name was called, but she quickly re
gained her composure, and crossed tho room
with a steady tread. Her arm, was froo
from tremor as she raised It to swear. As
she took the sea$ in the box the witness cast
a look over at tho prisoner, but his gaze was
fixed in unqthcr part of the room, and his
faco had bccomoerious.
Examined by Attorney Bobb, Mrs. Snow
den testified that her name was Laura
Snowden nnd that sho had known tho de
fendant for two years. ,
Mr. Bobb Under what names did yjra
know him? ,

The witness stated'that in September and
October; 1890, she lived at 116 Colwell street,
and had met the prisoner there. Tho silk re
covered from her ho hud brought to hor
house in tho fall of last year. Shecould not
remember In wTiat month. Tho' piece of
grcnadino was also brougbt to berliouse by
Budd. He brought" three or four pieces of
black silk, a piece of grenadine and half a
dozen piecesi of light-colored silk. Tho
grenadino ho gave" to hcr"nsn present. She
was not positive that ho said at tho time
where ho got the goods. On the same occa
sion ho gave.her clippings from a newspa
per. She was not snre whether she gave
them back to him or burned them.
What the Clippings Were.
Mr. Bobb What were they?
Mr. Marshall objected. .
The Court overruled the objection and tho
witness stated that they referred to the rob
bery of Skelly's storo in McKeosport.
Mr. Bobb And this is the man that gavo
them to you?
Mrs. Snowden Tes; that's the man.
The witness stated the silks were different
colors. Ono w as a llght-yellow with a forget-me-not
flguro in it, and another ploco was
green. Budd said ho was selling the silk.
She had her first conversation with Budd on
Fifth avenue, and he told hor ho had robbed
a drvgoods store. Sho didn't know whether
he tofil her where it was. Two days after
that he brought the silks to her house and a
week later he show od her tho cl ippings. On
cross-examination Mr. Marshallasked: "Who
constituted vour household"
Mrs. Snowden Myself.

Witness No, sir.
Mr. Marshall How long havo yon known
the defendant?
Witness Two years.
Mr. Marshall Are yon married or single?
Witness Married.
Mr. Marshall Where is your husband?

cal Review.
Mr. Marshall Who was the editor?
Witness There wero several editors.
Mr. Marshall Was any price put on those
silks?
Witness No, sir. None to me.
Mr. Marshall l'ou knew that Budd was
married?
Witness (with indlgnantflash of the eye)
No sir; I did not.
A Frequent Visitor at Her House.
Mr. Marshall Budd visited your house
often, didn't he?
Witness Yes, sir.
Mr. Marshal! And stopped all night?
Witness (indignantly) No, sir.
Mr. Marshnll When ho told you he had
robbed a store, yon went right to the Mayor's
office and told on him, didn't you?
Witness (emphatically) No, sir; I did not.
Mr. Marshall You havo tho promise to
get off if yon tell everything?
Witness No, sir; I have not.
On re-examination the witness said tho
prisoner had sold all the rest of the goods
except those recovered by tho detectives.
Tho goods wero taken away at different
times. Budd took sample nieces of them
with him. Tho prisoner told her that ho
gained nn entrance to the store by cutting a
hole through tho floor with a saw. Ho said
that in maKlng tho holo he used something
that he had to turn around. He nlso told
her that be didn't get out of the storo until
the morning when men wore going to work,
tho reason ooing that it took him so long to
bore tho hole. He further told her that a
man living near had seen him loave the
building. IIo carried tho goods down the
railroad nnd had them in a vacnntlotforono
or two days. IIo brought them to her houso
in a large packdone up in a cloth.

LAST DAT OF GRACE.
iThe Amalgamated Scale Must Be
Signed To-Day or Mills Will Stop.
CONFERENCE ASKED TOR IN. OHIO.
How the Stonemasons and Plasterers Were
Forced to Work.
' - . t
MISCELLANEOUS INDUSTRIAL ITEMS
Yesterday's conference or .ho Amalgam
ated scale was a stubborn proceeding, and
when the seventh meeting adjourned
last evening the - members of both
committees felt that no agreement
would be readied. As a conscquonco
preparations-will bo mado to-day to close
the mills until an agreement is leached.
This may be but a day or two, and it may be
a month. The manufacturers seem deter
mined to have tho short-hour clanse
eliminated, not so much because they
object to it themselves, but because its
adoption would be an encouragement for
tho eight-hour movement, to which they aro
opposed on general principles. They are
also opposed to it because in many cases it
would mean a reduction in the output,
although tho men argue that -this would
only be the case In some instances.
Increased Cost of Production.
James, McCutchcon, of Ll'ndsay & Mc
Cutcheon, says if tho scale Is signed as pre
sented, the cost of production would be in
rea'sed 12J per cent, no nlso claims it
wonld boa loss to the men who work by the
ton. If tliere should only be seven heats in
stead of eight, thev would of course receive
less than their ordinary wages.
There was considerable uneasiness about
tho scale last night, evoryono Interested
knowing tliat if it is not settled to-day,
100000 men will bo Idle to-morrow.
There are somo places Where the assocla
tloh will have trouble wliethor tho scale is
signed or not. At Steelton, Hurrisburg and
Pencoyd dissatisfaction has reignod for
some time, nnd the new scaio will only serve
to irritate tho difficulty. It was reported
yesterday that many of the manufacturers
had been preparing tor a strlko by refusing
to take orders, or at least to guarantee the
completion of work In a limited time.
Mahoning Manufacturers Prepared.
Iron manufacturers through tho Mahoning
Valley are making preparations to shut down
to-night. The Mahoning and Shennngo
Valley Iron Manufacturers' Association sent
a telegram to Pittsburg asking when it
would bo convenient for tho Confer
ence Committee of the Amalgamated
Association to meet the Conference
Committee at Youngstown. The an
swer was brief and pointed. "It
they want to meet the committee they will
have to come here." A member of tho iron
association said they would not come to
Pittsburg. Tho iron men of the two valleys
are not averse to a conference, but they
want to have something to say as to where
it shall be held.
There will bo n lively light' at Duquesno
for the recognition of the association this
year, the lodge there having unanimously
decided to stand out for this year's scale.
There are several hundred men affected in
this mill and tho scalo will be presented for
the Arm's signature to-day. The develop
ments of to-day will be watched with in
terest,as upon them depends the movements
of the manufacturers throughout the coun
try. ANOTHER NEW INDUSTET.
Local Capitalists Form a Company to Man
ufacture. ISazors.
The latest enterprise launched in this city
will be called the Sterling Razor Company.
Pittsburg for more than half a century has
been called the Birmingham of America, and
now some of hor citizens proposo to see what
they can do toward making her the Sheffield
of America also. A company has been or
ganized for tho manufacture of tho highest
grade of cutlery known. It will make
razors, surgical instruments and high grado
edge tools generally.
Tho corporators aro A. H. Chnrch, B. D.
Nuttle,"Johrl-T. Wheeler, J. Grihmsen and
II. Watts. It is their Intention to get to
work as sooimis possible. Tho object is to
make high-priced articles, nothing "cheap
and nasty." They think they wi.l find good
sale for high-priced razors, such, for instance,
as used by club men aiid all who like to have
the beard removed without an abrasion of
cuticle, and it is tlio intention that all the
articles turned out shall be finished on the
samo plan. They say they can get steel good
enough for any purpose to which it is at
present put, in this city.
WILL CONFER ABOUT RATES.
Penn Company Officials Begin to Complain
of a Car Shortage.
Tho Pittsburg and Youngstown freight
committees will meet in Cleveland to-morrow
to adjust somo differences about West
ern rates. Tho general classification and
iron tariffs will be considered. Most agents
complain about dull traffic, but an official of
the Pennsylvania company remarked yester
day that thoy were short of cars. Xot long
ago they had nny number of idle cars lying
on their side tracks.
General Freight Agent Frank Dean, of the
Lake Brie, said the coal business of his road
was picking np, but the traffic is nothing un
usual. Agents of Western roads claim they
aro not getting much freight from (his terri
tory. Tlio Santa Fe, which extends from
Chicago to the Pacific coast, has been doing,
a fair business. It would certainly bo an
evidence of remarkable dullness when the
agents of this big system could not find
freight in this section for somo of tlio towns
along their line.
NO FURTHER INDUCEMENTS.
"Why the Plasterers and Stonemasons
Were Forced to Break Away.
The striking stonemasons and plasterers
were forced to go to work because the car
penters could not offer them any induce
ments to stay out any longer. Quito a
number of carpenters returned to worky es
terday, and while the leaders still claim that
the outcome wJU be favorable to them, the
bosses sav It will only be a "matter of a few
davs until tlio men will all be back at work.
ft is hardly exnected that all the men will
go back before tho Fourth. J. F. Bruggeman,
lor whom 13 men went to work yesterday,
says tliat by noxt Monday all hands will be
back for their jobs.
Tho bricklayers' strike Is assuming more
alarming nrouortions now than that of tho
carpenters. 'X'hcie is no indication of a set
tlement and both sides are decidedly firm.
ALL CUTTING. STOPPED.
Local Stovo Men Meet and Affirm Last
Year's Prices.
Tho local association or stove manufac
turers met at tho St. Charles Hotel yesterday
to talk about the fall trade. Mr. Bradley is
president and Lewis Anshutz secretary.
The retailers as well as tho wholesalers be
long to the organization, and recently the
tinware men wero taken in. The result is
that tho trade in Pittsburg is united, and
uniform prices aro asked and maintained.
Several years ago cutting was carried to a
ruinous extent, and there was no profit in
the business.
The classification was discussed, hut no
changes wero made. Last year's prices will
prevail. The business Is reported as in good
condition.
RIVER MINERS WILL STRIKE.
They Will Not Submit to the Proposed
Keductlon of Half a Cent.
A striko among tho. river miners is prom
ised, because the operators insist that thero
must bo u reduction in price. This is not
surprising to any of tho parties concerned.
Tho situation has been thoroughly under
stood all along. The operators made no
effort to conceal the fact that a reduction
would be asked for ns soon as the Southern
trado wonld be supplied.
The Southern trado has been supplied; tho
miners will bo offered 3 cents; tbey will not
accept and consequently there will bo a
strike.

WEIRD DEATH WAES
Over the Body of An Italian Boy
Drowned In the Ohio Biver.
BAETLEY C0STELL0 KOW IK JAIL,
Charged Bj the Coroner With Murderinij
Tonng .Panaro,
DUCKED HIM UNDEET1LL HE WAS DEAD
narry Moore, Alexander Irvin 'and some
other people who took a ride in a sailboaVon
the Ohio river, Sunday, report a weird
mourning scene witnessed at Shonsetown,
which they say is beyond tho power of de
scription. Just opposite the place, where a
culvert empties into the river, and where
tho water is. very deep, an Italian rushed
down the steep bunk boating his breast,
which was naked, nnd howling like somo
wild animal. Ho 'was soon followed by a
multitude, and tliey were all exceedingly
clamorous and seemed to bo grieving. The
sailors stopped their craft and demanded
what was wrong, when the chorus attempted
an explanation. Xono could talk English,
but they finally succeeded in making it
known that a boy had been drowned.
Then was set npawall such as no words
can describe. It gave the 'listeners an im
pression of the combined .sounds of a:ollan
harps, singing sands nnd horseflddles, nnd
at times swelled with tho solemn cadence of
a great church organ. At times the -voices
were guttural andf exceedingly harsh, and ac
others plaintive and exquisitely beautiful.
Attempts to Recover the Body.
This was kept up for quite a while and so
charmed the boatmen that they could not
leave the spot, nnd they again unfurled
their sails until at length a party arrived in
a skiff with grappling Irons and a supply of
dynamite, when the weird chant ceased In
an instant, but none of the mourners made
any effort to assist in the recovery of the
body.
The dead boy-Vns Constando Panaro, a 17-year-old
Italian boy, drowned near Stoop's
Ferry- Sunday night. Bartley Costello was
lodged in Jail last'nlght charged with the
bojfy murder, and several others are im
plicated. Sunday evening several boys and
men were amusing themselves along tho
shore of the Ohio fiver. One of the boys,
Panaro, it is claimed, was thrown into the
river by one of the men. The case was re
ported to the Coroner yesterday about noon,
though the body had' not yet been found.
Coroner McDowell at onco 'went beforo
Magistrate Grlpp and lodged an Information
ngainst a . man whose name was unknown,
charging him with murder.
The Murderer Discovered and Arrested.
The warrant was given to ' Officer William
McClelland, who started to Stoop's Ferry
after the unknown. He learned that the
man accused'of the crime was Bartley Cos
tello, and finally located him at work with
a gang of laborers laying a pipe lino through
tho woods half a mile above stoop's Ferry.
Costello at first denied his Identity, but he
was arrested and bronght to the city and
placed in lull to await the result of the
Coroner's inquest. The body of the drowned
boywas recovered last evening near the
scene of the drowning and taken to the
home of his parents nearby.
Tho story of tho affair as told to Officer
McClelland was that the boy was in bathing.
He could not swim, but Costello and a com
panion forced him under water. When they
eventually let him go he sank to tho bottom
and was drowned. The men whose amuse
ment had cost the boy his life then started
off. Costello'was tho only one of the party
known. Officer McClelland, after olaclng
Costello in Hall, was started by Coroner Mc-
uoweu to morongniy investigate me caso.
The inquest will ue held this afternoon at
StooTi's I errv.
.The body of George Fnyton, drowned Sun
day evening near Woods' Bun, hns not yet
