The unpleasant features of the Fourth
of July were manifest at the police station
hearings yesterday morning. In the two
cities 200 people started out too vigorously
to celebrate the day and were not allowed
to finish it. In roost cases they
had side-tracked their patriotism for the
pleasures of riotous living. Those who
followed this plan soon lost sight of the
glorious stars, and stripes behind the bars
of station houses. Magistrates had their
hands full jestcrday morning. Most of
the cases were common holiday drunks,
but they had to be questioned nevertheless.
Fortv cases were heard by Magistrate
Gripp at Central station, of which ten were
persons arrested lor violating the city ordi
nance and Chief Itrown's order by shooting
with firearm. The magistrate reprimanded
all the law-breaking celebrators and dis
charged them, excepting O. Bergitz, w ho had
been arre-ted for firing off a log horse-pistol
on Pnihhfield street. Bergitzvn as given SO
days to the workhouse.

Matthew Scheneger Shot on a Bridge and
Does Not See the Man.
Matthew Scheneger, 29 years of age, is
at the Homeopathic Hospital with a bullet
in his shoulder. He was shot by an un
known person while passing over the Tenth
street bridge. Scheneger is an employe of
the Phcenix Brewery, and on the evening
of the Fourth was visiting his uncle, John
Fry, of Brownsville avenue. He remained
at the home of the bitter until almost mid
night, when he started for this side of the
river. It was about 12:30 o'clock when he
reached the middle of the Tenth street
bridge. Suddenlv he heard a shot fired on
the other side of the bridge. The bullet
came crashing through the boards of the
covered structure and struck him in the
breast.
Scheneger took to -his heels and ran to
the other end of the bridge before looking
at his wound. On opening his coat he found
the blood streaming out over his clothes
and eould feel the ball lodged up in his
shoulder. Instead of notifying the police
or going to a doctor he made his way to his
boarding place, at No. 516 Grant street.
There he tried to get somebody awake, but
became so weak from loss of blood that he
had to retire to his room.
At 8 o'clock vesterday morning he was
found on his bed almost" dead from loss of
blood. "Word was sent to police head
auarters and Detective Bendel went up.
He immediately called for the ambulance
and had Scheneger removed to the Homeo
pathic Hospital. The latter isauerman,
and having only been in this country a
short time cannot speak English. His con
dition is berious, but he will probably re
cover. It is not known who fired the shot.

Tries to Murder Her Little Child While In
an an Insane Fit
Shortly after 12 o'clock yesterday morn
ing Mrs. Mary Mimmer, who lives with her
r husband in the rear of No. 7 Singer's row,
West Carson street, while laboring under
an attack of insanity, attempted to murder
her 8-months-old child by beating it over
the head with the blunt end of a hatchet.
Her husband, Edward Mimmer, left the
house for a short time. During his absence
the wife secured a hatchet and attacked
the child, which lay sleeping in a
cradle. She struck the'ehild tw o blows on
the head with the blunt end of the hatchet
when Mrs. Sumnicrhill, who lives in the
same house, and who was attracted by tne
child's cries, ran into the room and stopped
the bloody work.
Dr. "Warder was called at once, and, after
an investigation, found the child's injuries
to be such that it will Uie. Officer Kelly

His Wife's Secrets.
Edward Leidy, a blacksmith residing at
Moxham, a suburb of Johnstown, was ar
rested in Allegheny yesterday for disorderly
conduct. He has several children in the
home of the Little Sisters of the Poor on
Troy Hill. In some way he became drunk,
and pulling a ten-inch revolver he accused
his wife of infidelity. The woman was so
scared, that she admitted the truth of his
charges.
"That's all right," he responded, and he
stuffed the gun back in his pocket. She,
however, told the story to the police, and
Officer Snvder arrested the husband.
FULL OF DOG AND CRACKERS.
A Laughable Incident "Witnessed at the
Lake Erie Depot.
A laughable incident occurred at the
Lake Erie depot Saturday afternoon. The
members of a brass band were waiting for a
train. They adjourned across the street to
irrigate their throats, leaving their instru
ments in care of a boy. He proved un
faithful to his trust, and after trying his
hand or mouth rather at playing on each
of the instruments, he went to join some
other boys who were celebrating outside.
They hail captured a small curly-haired dog
and were debating what to do with him.
The new-comer suggested that they tie a
bunch of crackers to his tail. This was
done, and when the crackers began to fizz
and pop, the dog, with a wild howl of ter
ror, dashed into the waiting room, scatter
ing sparks and yelps as he went, and
plunged head first into the big bass horn,
which the boy had left lying on the floor.
"With such "force did he project himself
into the tapering bell of the horn, that he
stuck fast, and when the owner returned he
found it full of dog. and exploding fire
crackers, which sounded like cannons in the
cavernous depths of the brazen instrument.
The boy had disappeared.

The standard w ages shall be 40 cents an

cents ruled absolutely independent of value.
No mason shall cease work because other

TOO BIG A SUCCESS.
An Automatic Fire Extinguisher That
Worked Like a Charm.
HOW MR. MAGEE MISSED THE SHOW.
A Man Falls From a Picnic Train and Is
Found by the Eoadside.
STORIES PICKED UP IN THE TWO COTES
A patent fire extinguisher at Marvin's
cracker factory on Liberty street worked
"not wisely but too well" yesterday morn
ing. About 5 o'clock flames broke out in
the building and an alarm was turned In.
The flames looked so serious that a second
alarm was sent in. The building is equipped
with a patent arrangement for putting out
fires. As soon as the flames reach a cers
tain stage numerous soft metal pipes give
way to the heat and everything below is
flooded with water.
By the time the engines arrived yester
day morning the automatic device was at
work, and great volumes of water were
pouring down through the building. The
fire was quickly extinguished, but the water
continued to run. nohodv seeminir to know
I where to go to shut it off. Great streams
poured down over the goods, and the place
was being rapidly flooded. Finally, after
half an hour's waiting, somebody was sent
after a wrench to cut the water off the build
ing. The trap in the street was opened,
and the flood was soon checked.
The damage by fire was small compared to
that by water. All over the lower floor
boxes and bales were wet and spoiled. The
water destroved about $500 worth of goods
and the fire $100. The patent drencher will
probably be abandoned nereaftcr.
BDEHED BY THE SOT.
Many People Received a Coat of Tan at
Schenley Park on the Fourth.
A number of local people have gone to
the seashore, but few- have come back. It
was hard, therefore, for many yesterday to
account for the number of sun-burned faces
to be seen on the streets. At the watering
places the coat of tan is most fashionable,
and reddened cheeks and noses are the rule,
but it was apparent to Sunday observers
that it isn't necessary to go to the country
or pay the Atlantic a visit to experience the
smarting of sunburn.
Any number of people were noticed yes
terday who were suffering severely from
highly inflamed necks and faces. The skin
was peeling off the tip of the nose and
around the rims of the ears. These victims
had been to Schenley Park on the Fourth,
and had sat in the sun to hear the speeches
and singing; Eeporters and those
who 'occupied the platform seemed
to have been special marks for
the old man's rays. One
lady singer when she got home was fright
ened at the flushed appearance of ker face,
as she looked in a glass, and she was afraid
she had an attack of congestion of the brain.
Her mother recognized the peculiar color,
and assured her that the cuticle could be
rubbed off on the morrow. It was nothing
more dangerous than sunburn.
One remarkable thing, however, is that
the day was not warm. If anything it was
cool, and at times a little too much so for
comfort. The victims are congratulating
themselves that they can now make their
friends believe they have been to the shore,
and there is some satisfaction in that.
After all the sun's rays, judiciously admin
istered, are a good thing, and won't hurt
anybody.
QBEAT PIECE OF LUCK.
A Drummer Finds a Lost Ring Six Hours
Afterward in the Union Depot.
"Talk about luck, I guess I am one of the
luckiest men living," said Mr. Henderson,
a drummer, at the Anderson yesterday.
"Here is a sample of it. I have been carry
ing a valuable diamond ring wrapped in
tissue paper in my pocket. Last evening I
discovered it was gone, and searched a num
ber of places where I thought I dropped it
in vain. During the day I was at the
Union station, and bought a ticket for Cin
cinnati. A friend suggested that possibly
I had pulled it out of my pocket when pay
ing for the transportation. I concluded at
once if that were true that my chances were
one in a million of finding it.
"Well, about 10 o'clock last evening I de
cided to go to the station and look around.
The first thing I saw below the ticket win
dow was the little bunch of tissue paper
with the ring in it. It had been lying in
that public place six hours. Someone had
kicked it against the wall, supposing it was
only a piece of paper. I offered odds on
the Bostons yesterday and they won. I be
lieve I am a sure Mascot. I wore an opal
once for 30 days, and I had bad luck all the
time. I came very nearly being killed in a
wreck, and then I discarded the ring. I
have been fortunate, as usual, since that
time."

WHEBE GENERAL JACKSON DIED.
A Piece of Tin From the Roof at the Her
mitage in James R. Scott's Office.
A very interesting relic of war times
hangs in the office of James B. Scott & Co.
It is a piece of tinned plate taken from the
roof above the room in the Hermitage, in
which General Andrew Jackson breathed
his last.
The piece of tin was sent to Messrs. Scott
& Co. bX L K". Phillips, of Nashville, who
states it had been 40 years on the house.
This isnot consideredan extraordinarily long
life for roofing tin, but it is taken as evi
dence of the good quality of the article

wound, besides being painfully injured
about the legs, but he will probably recover?

A Man Who Conldn't Ride In the City
Without a Time Table.
-Detective Sol Coulson was reclining

saw something that greatly amused him. A
man approached the ticket seller, aVd after

for a time table.
The gentlemanly clerk handed out the re
quired schedule with a smile that fairly
shouted: "For pity's sake, man, can'U. you

MISSED THE FIREWORKS.
President C. L. Magce Walks Half a Mile to
Land Five Passengers on the Dnqnesne
Road A Little Family Farty Gathered
on Rather Shqrt Notice.
C. L. Magee missed the fireworks entirely
Saturday night in order to get five passen
gers for the Duquesne road. "That's enter
prise for you," said a gentleman yesterday,
and then went on to explain how it came
about. About 9 o'clock as Mr. Magee was
pushing his way into the entrance of he
park, he found at his knocs a little girl,
surely not more than 8 years old, hanging
on to a basket of flowers she had gathered
in the park, and crying bitterly. He
stopped to inquire what the matter was.
She had lost a cent, and was just that much
short of the fare home. A dip into Mr.
Magee's pocket soon remedied that, and
then he took her hand to help her through
the crowd to a car.
"But there are five of us," she said, and
produced from among the feet of the people
four other tots, all smaller than herself, the
youngest certainly not more that 3 years
old. They belonged to three families, she
said, and their fathers were all dead.
"Where arc your mothers?"
"They have to work. I brought the chil
dren," the little one added, maturely. "We
brought our dinners and stayed all day."
The baby of the lot was in the big street
railroad president's arms by this time, and
he was pushing a way through the crowd at
the head of his little procession, while every
ten feet some acquaintance hailed him with
an inquiry as to where he had collected the
family.
"Are you a boy or a girl, little one?"
asked Mr. Magee.
The tired child's head had sunk contentedly
on the broad shoulder, and he was too
sleepy to answer, but the bright little man
ager of the excursion spoke for him:
"He's a boy. His name's Tommy Con
nor. We live on Fourth avenue. He's so
little, he's awful tired."
Ths unique procession had not cone far
until another gentleman, remarking, "I
guess there's another that needs to be ear
ned," picked up the next youngest and fell
in behind. Out Forbes street they went,
up Craig, across Fifth avenue, through the
rain, and to the car house of the Duquesne
Traction Company. Every car they met
was packed beyond the possibility of
putting On another. Finally, after waiting
an hour at the car house, Mr. Magee sus
pended the rules of the company and loaded
the whole kit into the cubby of the motor
man. They could all stand at his left side,
without being in the way, so small they
were. It isn t necessary "to sby that their
ride didn't cost them anything. Presum
ably they got safely home but Mr. Magee
missed all the fireworks.
EMPTY WEEE THE BABEELS.
The Supply of Ice "Water on the Streets "Was
at Low 3bl Yesterday.
At different places scattered around the
down-town part of the city large white bar
rels with tempting brass spigots and a little
tin cup attached to a chain occupy promi
nent places. The words "ice water free" in
large black letters are painted on their
sides, with compliments of the owners. But
nothing is so tantalizing on a hot day
than the sight of these barrels with no
water or ice in them. Several of them were
examined yesterday afternoon, and the in
side was as dry as the paint on the outside.
Frequently people stopped to get a drink,
but they passed on and got it somewhere
else, or went without.
The projectors of the free ice water
scheme could not be found anywhere yester
day, or they would have rectified the diffi
culty at once. The barrels are kept full of
water on work days, hut there is no reason
why they should be given a day of rest.

NOT THAT KIND OF D0CT0B.
How a Tonne Pittsburg Lawyer Was Fooled
by Some Friends.
The story of the way a well-known young
attorney of.Pittsburg put his foot in it re
cently has just leaked out. His friends
now call him "Doctor." It seems he was
engaged by a party of capitalists to negoti
ate a deal with a certain Dr. So-and-So, who
lives in a thriving Ohio town. The doctor
is a wealthy man, and the possessor of
some property on which it was desired to
secure certain options. The attor
ney was warned by his clients that
the physician was a very peculiar man,
and appreciating the importance of making
a good "impression on the old gentlemen,
primed himself with a smattering of medi
cal lore relating to the latest discoveries
and developments in medical science,
gleaned from technical journals, thinking
to be able to broach some subject of conver
sation in which the doctor would be inter
ested and then act the part of a eood
listener.
He then went forth to meet his victim on
his native heath, and as his business would
require several days to transact, he accepted
the hospitalities of' the doctor's house, and
laid himself out to make that good impres
sion. He kept broaching medical topics till
the doctor remarked upon his evident inter
est in a profession so foreign to his own.
"Oh," he replied, "I have always been
interested in your profession, and 'it gives
me great pleasure to talk with any of its
members who, like yourself, are progressive
and keep themselves in touch with the new
est developments and improved methods."
Then said the doctor, "I am afraid, iky
friend, that vou have made a mistake. I
am a doctor of divinity, and not a doctor of
medicine."
Then the lawyer changed his tactics and
talked about the essence of the soul, in
spiration of the Scriptures, divisive courses,
eta But the good man would not come to
terms, and the lawyer left defeated. .

j ' DEFEAT!
Mr. Tristram said with a smile that it was
handed to him on the streets in the Ohio
State Capital. Boys were hired to pass
them around. He supposed it originated
with the Campbell party, and he under
stood the State was plastered with them.
It is estimated that not less than 3,000,000
were circulated for the benefit of Ohio
Democrats.
Significance of the Circulars.
As the Democratic Convention meets next
week to nominate a candidate to oppose Mc
Kinley, it is taken as the last and best
stroke of the Campbellites to down the
opposition, which has been very bitter
against him.
Other people returning from Colum
bus state that the streets of
the town were littered with the
little poster, which is printed in large,
prominent type. It has struck terror into
the hearts of the Governor's party' oppo
nents, and an answer in a similar fonn is
expected.
The Cincinnati Democratic organ, urged
on, it is claimed, by the ringsters whom the
Governor ousted and were afterward rein
stated by the State Supreme Court, has been
making a guerilla warfare on Mr. Campbell,
and the circular is expected to counteract
the journal's influence with the people.
Governor Campbell has no doubts about his
nomination. Al. Carlisle, the local drum
mer and Ohio politician, says Campbell is
much stronger than his party.
General "Warner's Faith in Campbell.
General A. J. Warner, of Marietta, a
prominent Democrat who frequently comes
to Pittsburg, thinks the Governor will be
nominated, and he believes that if the party
were unanimous Mr. Campbell would
beat McKinley on the tariff issue. He
claims that the farmers of the State are
disgusted with the McKinley bill, and their
eyes are fast being opened to the evils of
high protectjve duties. The Republican
party's opposition to free silver "also, in his
opinion, will have considerable influence
with them.
When Governor Campbell passed through
Pittsburg a short time ago, on his way East,
he said if he were nominated that "should
settle all party dispute concerning himself,
and the man who fought him then was not
a Democrat. This is ideal logic, and many
people believe it will not prevail in Ohio,
where some people have smarted for good
cause under tne Governor's lash Accord
ing to people who come from the State, the
fight for the Democratic nomipation is red
hot, and is without doubt more intense than
the grand battle between the two parties
will be this falL
BOASTED BARKEEPERS.
A New Yorker Claims They Don't Know
,How to Mix Drinks ln,Th!s City.
A disconsolate New Yorker sat in the
Anderson yesterday, and prayed for a
drink; "But I couldn't get it," he began
peevishly; "even if you had no Sunday
laws here, you haven't a bartender in the
town that can prepare a decent one. Either
they don't know how, or they are careless.
Since coming to Pittsburg I have gone the
rounds of the leading bars, and I can't get
a drink to my satisfaction. All the keepers
seem to know is how to draw lager beer,
make a gin fiz, a cocktail or whisky sour,
or hand out Manhattan. They undertake
after a fashion to concoct an absinthe
frappe, but it is sickening, and a mint
julep is the height of their attainments.
"I asked one of the proprietors why good
barkeepers were so scarce in this town. He
replied it was to some extent the fault of
tho people, -iney can t get aDove Deer ana
whisky. Indeed, the average Pittsburger
takes his whisky as regular as the Span
iards and French do absinthe. They like
it and won't have anything else. It is easy
to serve, and they have spoiled the bar
tenders. Y.ou couidn t get one ot them to
take 15 minutes in preparing a fancy drink
as they will in New York. Another reason
is that licenses are too uncertain under the
Brooks law, and high priced men are not
engaged. A good drink mixer, like a first-,
class cook, is a rarity, and they draw high
salaries. That is to say in Pennsylvania
they will drink and get drunk anyhow,
despite restraining laws, but as a result of
tMe law the business in a measure degen
erates, and the tipplers don't get the best
for their money. Is there much wonder
that I am disgusted?"
BLAINE AN ILL MAN.
A Washington Hotel Man Talks About
Maine's Flamed Knight.
"I know Blaine to be a very ill man, and
if he were elected President he wouldn't
live to serve his term," said an old Wash
ington hotel man yesterday afternoon.
"His sickness is due to overwork. His
constitution has been ' ruined, and I don't
think he will recover. Blaine is a very
plain man in his hubits. He avoids the
luxuries of life, and I don't believe he
drinks, at least I never saw him take any
thing, and I have watched him at banquets.
He would fill his glass out of courtesy, but
the wine was left at his plate.
"But what a magnetic man the Plumed
Knight is. One must meet him to appreci
ate it. Everybody who talks to him, friend
and foe alike, can't help feeling that he
likes him after he goes away. Blaine is the
greatest American statesman to-day. To
direct the Government would ljp play work
for him. He knows every detail of working
machinery in the departments, and, of
course, his general policy would be Republi
can. I sometimes think that Blaine would,
carry Louisiana since the Italian episode in
New Orleans. He has become wonderfully
popular with the people of that city since
he had the tilt with Kudini."
A DEFENSE OF CREEDS.
A Preacher Objects to People
Heroes Out of Heretics.
Making
"This is a period when it has become the
popular thing to attack creeds," said a local
minister in a chat. "If a man is turned out
of the Church for not preaching its doc
trines, the newspapers array themselves on
his side as much abused, and the victim of
narrowness and bigotry. This idea becomes
imbued into the people, and the discharged
pastor is glorified. It is this short-sightedness
of which I complain.
"Every man has his creed. A creed is
belief, and we all believe something. If a
man doesn't agree with a majority the
wisest thing for him to do is to leave it. If
he continues to advocate his views he is
simply setting up his creed as better than
that of his colaborers. If one weresent
out on the stump to talk for the
Republican party and he argued
for the Democrats, he would'nt
be retained for a moment He is expected
to uphold Republican ideas. The Earns
1891.
principle applies to the Church. A minis
ter is educated at the expense of congrega
tions to preach their creed. He takes a sol
emn vow to do it, and then turns around
and advocates something else. If he per
sists and defies the Church, what is to be
done with him? Allow him to subvert its
principles? Well, political parties under
these circumstances would kick him out;
indeed, no Republican would have the
nerve to preach Democracy as a Republican.
He would join their ranks. Whv shouldn't
the minister who doesn't believe in a
church's doctrines act likewise?"
DIDN'T LIKE INTEBVD3WEBS.
Old Hannibal Hamlin Opposed to Talking
for Publication.
"Old Hannibal Hamlin is dead," mused
an editor yesterday. "Depot reporters will
remember what a crusty gentleman he was
to talk to. He was as averse to expressing
his views for publication as he was to wear
ing anything else but the conventional
spike-fail. He was a good conversational
ist, but his modesty prevented him from
talking to a newspaper man, when he felt
he would see it in cold type the next day.
For this reason he was very suspicious of
reporters, and nsually declined to open his
mouth in their presence. If pressed, the
old man would become very angry, and
after the storm was over beg the inter
viewer's pardon.
"In this respect Mr. Hamlin was like
General Sherman. The grizzled General
was very affable with the newspaper fel
lows, as he called them, but he would shut
up like a clam if he thought he would be
quoted. Washington correspondents soon
learned Hamlin's peculiarity, and they
found it best to leave him alone or take a
lively blast for their pains."
ONE FOB ME. CLEVELAND.
Mahlon Chance Gives a Few Good Impres
sions of Graver.
When Mahlon Chance, the representative
of the American Tariff League, was at the
Monongahela House some time ago he got
to talking about Grover Cleveland. "The
country realizes by this time," he said,
"that Cleveland is not an accident. I don't
agree with him politically, but I must ad
mit he is a strong man, physically and
mentally. In his younger days Grover was
what we call a 'sporty boy,' and in all my
acquaintance he is the. only man who could
carry a heavy jag of bad whisky at 2 o'clock
in the morning and be up at his work
by 8, looking as fresh as if he
had gone to bed early the night before. This
is a fair sample of his wonderful physical
endurance, and shows his remarkable
strength.
"One thing I always liked abont him,
and that was his great respect for the home.
The influence ofihis mother and his training
never deserted him. When Cleveland was
reviled the most as a common tough the
country marveled at the lofty tone that per
vaded his State papers. It was what his
mother taught him, and he never forgot it."
DULL AFIEB A HOLIDAY.
But a Great Crowd of Drummers "Will Be
in the City To-Day.
"Not many names on that register," re
marked Mr. Brobst, one of the Anderson
clerks, yesterday. "It is always dull after
a holiday, but to-morrow" he stopped and
threw up his bands.
"Big day," suggested the reporter.
"Look at this list of requests for rooms,"
he continued, as he run his hands through a
pile of papers. "All want sample rooms,
too, and they must be largp. Most of the
rooms in the house will be taken. As soon
as the Fourth is over the drummers start
out to work up the fall trade. The rush
will continue now for about three weeks,
when business will fall off, and be very
quiet during August. Then most people
are taking their vacations. September 1
everybody starts out with a vim and they
are in the swim for another lively year.
This thing is kept up season after season
without much variation."
BEAFED A GOLDEN HARVEST.
Immense Traffic on the Traction Roads
Causes Much Talk.
A Fourth of July celebration once a week
would fill the coffers of the traction com
panies to overflowing. The immense busi
ness done by all the roads on Saturday was
the talk of the town yesterday. All lines
found more than they could do, and with
their utmost efforts to comfortably carry
the crowds failed.
Reports from the Birmingham line show
that it hauled 12,000 people dnring the day.
Figures could not be obtained from the
other traction companies, the day's busi
ness not having yet been completely figured
up, yesterday being Sunday.
