Taggart What pravi-ion is there for the pyiteetiou of the public in the niean-t-m'-' It will require oroe time to put such ii law 'n to force Mr. Magee Oilers a Remedy. Mr Vniafe A-i.ir as the IHiquc-nc line is concerned we have issued orders toall our -nen lot the present to come to a full stop lusi before reaching a crowing vv ilh another line I believe if reineted to do so by this committee tie other lines would be willing luoWrvf the same regulation until this in uti-i isadiusted !uch :i plan will, in my opinion. preem anv more accident- such a- that o: tin-morning Mi I. mine at once ollered a resolution ta.t .i special retiuest troin the C oinmittee m Pul.Ii- s,;,.,,fv be certitled bv t hief Brown :iiid si nt to all the street railvvav companies m the eitv m accordance with Mr. Magce's iutp-siiiiii. This resolution was adopted, and (mot Krown was instructed to lollow i lie suggeM ion 3 ollered v Mi Ijimhie in re gard to an ordinance covering Ins present lifheult. Mtor ihc meeting Mr. Magee was seen and s i id that the street railu n companies could "ot afford to pav for flagmen, lie said the 'orporations w on- taxed by the city and had .-is much right to police protection as other t.is.pi cr. lie believed the ehicle tax to In- i icd on cars would jiay for the extra -lolier. No Need of an Ordinance. Vayor .nmley"s opinion of the case is -verv decided. He i strongly in favor of more rigid rule- governing the running of traction ear-. "Something should be douc," smd he, "to prevent the lrequeut re currence ol such an accident as the urn' this morning. llap.d transit has biiHime an unquestioned necessity in tins it, but there should bo no unnecessary loss ol file siniplj t keep up a f.ist schedule. Tho accident "this morning, as far as I can learn, was the result ol great careless ness on i-omebodv'- part, though it may never be shown just who the blame should lull upon I am 1'ieartilv in lavor of requir ing all cars to eonie to a deed halt at inter sections ot othoi lines, and remaining so un til ordered lorwaru bv the cornerman. Had tliisplau been followed the At wood strict collision could not have occurred. In fact there vv ould be little chance tor accidents of anv l,i ud wen" some regulations of this sort 111 loree. On ste-uu railwaj linos the rule is Imperative al-out stopping before crossing Bnothi'l line. It should lie even more im perative m regard to street ruilw ay lines, w here the chances lor collisions are greatly multiplied. "It is l.ij opinio-., that Chief ISrown has power to order this plan enloreed without anv action of Councils with reference to it. It is a regulatu n which he would be per Tectlv ustiiiaole in demanding. Itishnrdly to )' believed that any traction company would dare the public indignation bj relum ing to obev such an older. However, if Councils will take tile matter in hiMid so much the better. I would then be beyond all quesuon. Against Magee's rolice Scheme. "As to the question of the citj paying the ollio- who watch the crossings of traction c-omp'iTiies, I am vei dcciuedly opposed to It. These big corporations make money by occupv ing the streets of the it j- for transit purposes. The pa nothing for their franc-hues and the city derives no benefit from them at ail. let'the people are asked to pay rheir money for the hiring of oSlcers to prevent accidents on these lines. A watchman at each dangerous corner is part xA the equipment ot a street railway com pany, just as much as a motorman orgriiv anaii. In all justice and equitv the companj should m him. In this connection there is another more serious point ro bo observed. If an accident occurs on a corner as a result of the negligence of the cornerman hired Virtue city," the latter is open to suits lor (lamages oh the part of the persons injured. On the other hand, if the man vras m the ompioy of tho railway company the suit arould lie brought against that company, as K pixipcrlv should. It is not ngnt mat tile -irv should be thus laid open toadditional expense and claims for damages. J5y taxing tlie traction companies the nrst evil can be done away with, but the second cannot. The Tatber Slakes a statement. John X. Ha.lett stated last evening that lie proposed to see that something be done with the men that caused the accident winch his son was injured in yesterday. "It is time," lie said, "that a stop should bo put to the rapid manner in which motormen ran their cars and pay no attention to s -g-amis or anything else." The boy was still ijlrtac, but there is not much hope for his aecovery. FAVOR THE REFOIUI. ITJic Plan Has lleen in Operation on the Pleasant Vallev Lines for snmo Time Sir. "Witlierow "Wants the Number of Passengers Limited. President I). T. Henry, of tho rieasant " alley road: "I have alw ays been in favor r Ench an ordinance. It should have been jiasscd long ago. All our cars stop before Ibey reach a crossing, and our motormen aro partieulaily instructed to obey this rule. I have often tried to get the cable people to adopt the plan but they have steadily re fused. Our cars must move sometime, and vrkat I have feared the most is that a wheel might broak on one of them on a crossing. In such a ease the cablo cars would go straight through, and there is no telling w hat would be the result. At a dan gerous crossing like Seventh and Liberty street, our conductors go ahead to see that the track is clear. 1 And this plan works Iiettcrthan emploving a watchman, as each -conductor is held responsible for his car, end lie is en rem! to look alter it. Besides.the signals or ilagmen are otten deceiving. One ol oar men vns fooled in this whv. at Liberty and Seventh streets not long ago, and the Two cars came togethei, but for tunately with not much lorcc. Thero rfs ho greatest need lor Councils Totakesomea"tion to prevent these acci dents. I think it would pay the roads to make such a rule. It would save them many a damage suit.'" People "Would Kick Abont Delay. James H. Scott and U. Sellers McKee met Ht the Vniou station a few dys ago. A Dis iwch man was present. Mr. scott said: There will be some terrible accmcut at a crossing m this City some da, Mr. McKee, end then the pooplo will rise up in thejr wrath and vrlpt out tiapid transit. Why don't there com panics stop their cars before crossing one anothei S lines?" "Oh pshaw," Mr. McKeo replied. "Itwould cause too many delays, and the people wouldn't put up with it. Whv. they aro grumbling all tho time now "because we on't run faster to the Southsidc." "Well, then," answered Mr. scott, "tho newspapers onght to agitate this subject. What is needed is an ordinance passed by Councils compelling the rojds to take this jirecaution. TnEDierAicii should take up the cudgel and hammer away until it is done. I tell you the danger is too great and huraau life Is loo dear." An effort was made to find Mr. Scott ves terday for a further expression of his views, but he was not at his office. 3Ir.

Iluilding Inspectors HqiTman and "Brown have given out the edict that in the future the ordinance relating to the building of blocksof two or moro brick houses in any parl of the rity will be strictly enforced hereafter. Yesterday 200 circulars were sent to us ma-ny contractors,' calling particular attention to the sections of the law relating to the construction of dividing walls in blocks. Previous inspectors have interpreted the law prohibiting any but brick dividing walls to apply only to the territory within the Are limits, and buildings were erected outside the file limits with the frame studding par titions which are considered so dangerous by builders and fire underwriters. I'niler the new interpretation of the law it will not be lawful to use a studding partition for a dividing wall in Urick buildings in any part of the city.

Now that the building trades are settling down to work again, it is expected there will boa rush in tho building line this fall. The journeymen plumbers are on the verge of giving in to the master plumbers' terms. They held a special meeting yesterday wlnch practically woundup their light. A master plumber said yesterday that it n ould be no use for them to give in an inch, as he w as sure the men were abont to lollow in the wake of the carpenters. There was a busy crowd at the Builders' Kxchange yesterday, and while anumberof contractors surround ed a table with a lot of blue prints in front of them one said: "Plans are coming in on us with a rush, and it will keep us hustling lor some days. We aro getting work ready as fast as possible lor the carpenters. About oue-halfwho apply can be accommodated. 1 would saj there are still COO carpenters out of w ork." Ten more bricklayers went to work yes terday, but Agent O'Brien said they were re ceiving the wages demanded.

The stonemasons will hold a meeting to day to decide upon the future action of their mem Carpenters Trying to Brace Vp. The Carpenters' District Council held a meeting last night. The chief topi dis cussed was how- shall the district provide ways and means of regaining its lost mem bership. It was decided that men who were forced back to w ork during the strike would not be fined. W. II. Kliver, President of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America while in Steubenville Monday, stated to a DisrATcn reporter that he ex pected to come to Pittsburg in tw o or three weeks to inquire Into the causes leading to the defeat of the eight-hour movement In this city. Mr. Kliver said: "1 know It was due largely to mismanage ment, but I want tofindout who was directly responsible. The eight-hour light in Pitts burg was never authorized by our General Executive Board, but the leaders in Pitts burg thought they knew it all and would not listen to the advice of the offlcials. After they got into the struggle and had jeopardized the organization we went be yond our authority and sent them $13,000, and still they arc complaining. I am going to Pittsburg to take up tho light myself the ,next time, and as 1 have never lost a strike in nry life 1 think I can show the contractors that ihey cannot dcleat our movement."

It was reported yesterday that several hundred men will be brought from other points to take the place of the strikers, and that some of them are expected to-day. Tho men still remain linn, and say that they aro right in this case, and that they will be supported by all the Amalgamated men in this district. They intimate, also, that it will be a matter of but a short time until certain mills will be idle if tho scale is not accepted at Duquesne, as the men of the other Cnrnegie plants will support tficin in their battle.

He left some time ago for Cleveland and, ac cording to the doctor's statement, took with him the only picture of his dead daughter. Later de Lippman sent a challengo to Dr. Nardyz. Yesterday morning the latter stepped, into tho Calo Ro val and the first man he laid eyes on was de Lippman. Tho doctor, Hushed with rage and stepplngupinfrontof deLipp man, holding a rattan cane in a threatening attitude, declared: "You cowai dly liar, why did you come back to Pittsburg? 1 havo found out all about you. You are not Count de Lippman, but tho ex-convict, Max Jacobsen. You have lied about yonr title, you havo bor rowed money which you never paid back nnd you havo stolen my dead girl's picture. I propose to thrash you for this." With that the big physician reached for de Lippman, but tbo latterslipped his grasp and dashed into tho Pra office.

Pedagogues and Controllers Must Consult About Text Books. The Allegheny School Controllers met last evening and elected teachers forthe year as nominated by the different school boards. It was discovered that Principal T. S. "Wood had been elected for the North avenue school of theTliird wardandthe Eighth ward school. After considerable wrangling Mr. Wood's resignation for the Eighth ward was received. Principals T. S. Wood and B, IL Jackson were nominated for three years, but wero elected for one. s A list of text books was submitted for the year. Jt was then claimed that under the act of 1851 new text books c&uld not bo se lected by the controllers without a consulta tion with the teachers. Formal action in approving part of tho list was reconsidered, and a meeting of teachers and controllers was ordered for next Tuesday. During June, 31,831 pupils were enrolled, "with an av erage attendance of 10,220. A FIGHT TO A FINISH. Mr. Safford "WilkPress the Contest Against the Amoskeag Engines NO MATTER HOW THE CASE GOES. He Claims ITis Only Interest Is in Seeing That Pittsburg Doesn't PAT TOO MUCH FOR HER FIRE ENGINES H. E. Safford, tlie man who Is fighting the action of the city authorities in buying Amoskeag lire engines, is not cast down by the result or the test of theso engines. Ha says ho still believes the examination before Master Hamilton w;ill bring out about all he expects, and afford tho courts sufficient data on which to condemn tho fire commission methods of doing.business. Mr. Safford says preliminarily that it is not a fight between engine companies, and that ho is not making it in the interest of anyone, and docs not represent any company, but is in the fight to stay until t is definitely ascertained whether Pittsburg is to pay $1,000 more for an engine than it- is sold for to other cities. He says he is not a champion of the Silsby, in which he finds merits and demerits, but on the whole seems to regard it as a pretty fair piece' of mechan ism. He says the fight against the manage ment is to tho finish, and is progressing fairly satisfactorily, and so far ho Is in good condition, without a hair turned. Ho fur nishes some figures. For instance, he states that on the 24th of February. 1890, Boston got two Amoskeag engines from the Mniir Chester Company of the first size for $7,900, or $3 850 each, while Pittsburg has been pay ing from $4,550 to 4,700fortho second size, and that Boston got one of the third size for $3,500, while Pittsburg paid R. C. Elliot $4,i00 for one that size and caliber. Claims a Job "Was Set Up. Mr. Safford says that Mr. Schinneller ad mitted that he wasn't an expert, and also that the highest test he had ever seen was at 200 revolutions a minute; "and," says Saf ford, "an interested party fixed up the wliolo matter to suit himself and Georgo Browne signed the necessary papers on ac count of his position demanding the sacrifice." Mr. Safford says he proposes to have Bi ow ue's and Schinuellor's report of the test published in every flro journal in the United states and read in all the fire and hydraulic engineers' meeting and before all, the water department boards in the Unidn. He ap peared to think that this was about as hard a blow as could be dealt them. Speaking of the certificate that tho Amos keag engine made so many revolutions per minute, and consequently pumped a certain amount or water, Mr. Safford holds that the testers either testified to ignorance or were making a report to suit tho pur poses of interested parties. On this head, lie says the capacity of a fire engine pump is what it can lilt bv auction from a cistern or from a river, and not what it can take from a fire plug of K or 73 pounds pres-ure, as. it may be necessary ft use engines where thero mono plugs to draw from, and not infre quently plugs are out of order and an engine is wanted that has power to throw water of itself and not bv pressure. Theso engines mav work well enough at the foot of Hood or Market streetl but how- much would be lacking if attached to a plug where the pres sure was but 15 pounds? "Warmed Up to HIsJWork. Warming up as he proceeded, Mr. Safford asked why did not tho Manchester Manu facturing Company appear and testify as to the capacity of its engines? and he an swers that it wouldn't havo been policy. "Why should the members of tho company do so? They get their money and give no rrmiTiiTitpp " Continuing, he savs that the Amoskeag has not been sold in New York since 1S77, as the company will not submit it to tho test required. Other engines aro pro vided with boilers that make steam faster, and in which tho steam pressure doos not run down from 15"i pounds to 70 pounds in 60 seconds, ns in the case, of the Amoskeag during the test, when, alter making one test, it was necessary to shut down and make steam before another was undertaken. Further, ho says the Amoskeag Is thfe heaviest engine In the country compared with the amount of work It is able to do, and that this is an Important matter where long distances over hilly streets are to be run. Mr. Safford gave figures on tho work of a considerable number of engines, but much of his talk was technical, and his tongue ran nearly at the speed of the Amoskeag fly wheel duiing the late test, making it impos sible for anyone except a hydraulic en gineer to follow him. Ho was asked again and again, and repeated all he had to say willingly over and over, but still the hear er's comprehension was much the same. The following, however, may be taken as re liable data, as he wrote it himself: "The Clapp & Jones pumps are 5J inches in diameter by S-inch stroke on first size. The engine's capacity is 850 gallons per min ute, based on a speed of 300 revolutions per minute; the extra first size Clapp & Jones is 5 inchos in diameter, by 8-inch stroke; 1,100 gallons per minute, based on 300 revolu tions por minute. Laflance, first size, 5Z by 8: capacity 850 gallons per minute, based on 300 revolutions per minute; and extra first size, 5i by 8, capacity 1,100 gallons por min ute, based on 300 revolutions per minute." Mr. Saflbrd's Comparative Figures. Against this showing Mr. Safford says tho Amoskeag with a pump i inches in diame ter, and 8-inch stroke is claimed to havo thrown 1,650 gallons per minute. Now he contends that it did not do the work claimed, even fiom a fire plug, and says the test does not consist in tho number of revolutions made by tho fly-wheel, but in the number of times the pump chamber was filled and emptied. "All admit," said he, "that the other engines I have named can be run as fast as the Amoskeag, but it is not pretended that at tho highest rate of speed tho pump chamber is filled and emptied at each revolution." He also cited a number of engines of various makes that had been repeatedly proven and did bfg woik that had no fly wheols, and asked now Messrs. Brown and Sehcneller would go about it to test their capacity. Ho said he supposed thoy would put the speed Indicator on tho hub. Among those cited were Button, Silsby and Wnterous engines. The builders of, the Clapp & Jones and the Laflance engines make their calculations of pumping capacity ou tho basis of SCO rev olutions per minute, or 400 feet of piston speed per minuto, and produce the results given above. Now, why do they not run faster? Simply because it is a tost of work they want and not speed at which their en gines might bo run. They know the engines cannot pump any more water than can be filled into and emptied out by tho pump barrel, nnd thev do not seek to manufacture a record they cannot prove. The Amoskeag test is based on a piston speed of 1,000 febt per minute, and doos any ono who under stands the subject, or is capable of any kind of reasoning, whether ho understands me chanics or not, pretend to say that the pump barrel was filled and emptied to correspond with this speed climaxing? Not Considered a Test. Mr. Safford said there had been no test at all; that tho opposition had no Judge, but but that tho show was Instructive and would give tho courts valuable pointers on the merits of the fight. Healso confidently vent ured tho assertion that no one financially in terested in the Manchester Company will corao to Pittsburg to testify to a capacity of 1,100 gaUons per minute for the Amoskeag engine. Mr. Safford explains that the reason the capacity of steam fire engines is seldom tested is that buyers usually ask for an en gine that will thrown certain sized stream a given distance, but that whon a test of ca pacity is mado water is taken frotn a tank or river and not from a fire-plug. In conclusion, he said that before tho con troversy ended the courts could pass in full in the meaning of the Wallace act, popu larly supposed to require contracts to be given to the lowest responsible bidder and o expressed entire confidence as to the fliml result of the shindy, basing that conrl. dence largely on the result of a similar ono in Philadelphia regarding a contract for tho delivery of some granite.

Experts Turning Over the Books in the Allegheny Mayor's Office Very Loose System of Bookkeeping to Say the Least A Partial Report. The committee appointed to look over the accounts of the Allegheny Mayor's offlco mot last evening to hear a partial report of tho exports. The report was brief and pointed. In regulart form it stated that on June 1, 1SS9, thorn were 822 vehicle license plates supposed to huve been delivered to Chief Murphy. On July 2, ISM, he had 03on'land, leaving a balance of 719 supposed to have been sold. Of these it is estimated 144 w ere for two horses at $10 each, making $1,440, and 575 wero for one horse at $6 each, making $3,450, a total of $4,890. The actual return of the sales to the Mayor's office, how ever, shows but $2.46i 32 turned in, leaving a shortage of $2,425 68 for tho twoyears. These estimates of issue are based on" tho average of the preceding Ave years. In the audit of the accounts of the Mayor's office a shortage of $2,00 in wit ness fees Is reported from April, 1887, to April, 1890, during the administration ,of Mavor Pearson, and from April, 1890, to May; 1S91, a shortage of $1,4M 45 in witness fees is alleged to havo been disclosed. The latter time is tho first year of Mayor Wvman's term. That was about all contained in the ex perts' report, but in answer to questions of the committeemen, Ml. T. C. Bigger, one of the experts and the spokesman, said they had only just begun their -vork, and from what they had discovered they were of tho belief that many more shortages would be found and a detailed report would bo sub mitted as soon as possible. Chief Murphy tola them that many licCjiise plates had been left over unsold froin year fo year. During the years SSG, '87, "88, '89, '90 nnd "91 many plates could not be accounted for. They were known to have been bought and were possibly sold, but no record whatever could be found of them. On inquiry by the exports for license books, or stubs to show the sales, they w ere reported lost and no trace of them could he found, at least the proper officers did not turn them over to the experts. Tho same was true as to tho books of the Mayor's office; balances in many cases could not lie mado on account of inability of proper officers to show their books scuds. The loosest Kind or bookkeonincr was nvidentlv nracticed. and the experts recommended that a better one be employed in the future. After the meeting closed Mavor Wyman wns asked for an explanation, lie said if he had known what the experts intended to re port he would have been at the meeting and explained overything. He said he could show there was no shortage, aud every cent could be accounted lor and that no request was ever made to him for his books or stubs. Further than that he would not sav. City Treasurer MacFerron said the Mayorhandcil into his office a check for his gross receipts monthly, and submitted no detailed state ment. CAPTURED BY A JAG. Trainmen Forced to Carry a Drunken Pas senger From the Cars. AVhen the mail pulled into tho depot last evening the passengers hurriedly alighted, but as the shitting crow were about to take tho cars out into the yard thoy discovered a lino-looking gentleman still lingering in a seat.

The invalid chair was brought, and his limp frame was soon transferred to it. He was taken to one of the hotels. Going through tho depot tho man was conscious he was very drunk, and he returned the smiles of tho bystanders with a good-natured grin, as much as to say: "Well, I am a good deal happier than yon are."

Superintendent Evans' Action Causes Some Amendments. SMOKE AND CATTLE 0RDIXAKCES PASS The resignation of Superintendent Evans, of the Bureau of Fire, resulted yesterday in the abandonment of tho fire directorship plan, as embodied In tho ordinance recently approved by the Public Safety Committee. At tho last meeting of Councils the ordinance was referred hack to the commit tee at tho request of the Chairman. Yester day It was amended in accordance with, the new condition of affairs. The question of Superintendent Evans' successor was pretty generally discussed yesterday, but at best it was wild gossip. If any selection has been made it is known only to Chief Brown and one or two others as reticent as himself. Assistant Superintendents Steele and Coates and Captain Hauuigan seem to be tho favoritesamong the guesscrs. The Public Safety Committee met yester day afternoon In tho City Clerk's office. After calling tho meeting to order Chairman Lambie called L. F. Brown to tho chair and then asked for the consideration of tho ordi nance relating to the purchase of new appa ratus and increasing the efficiency of the Bureau of Fire. The second section of this ordinance, relating to tbo appointment of a flro director, at a salary of $3,000 a year, Mr. Mr. Lambie moved to have stricken out. In its place, he desired a section abolishing the offices of Superintendent and Assistant Su perintendents of the Bureau of Fire and creating in their stead a chief engineer and four assistant chiet engineers, the former at a salary of $3,000 a year and the latter at $l,8C0each. In presenting this amendment Mr. Lambie said: "This will only be a slight chango from the present system and I be lieve tho title of Chiof Engineer will be much more appropriate than that used now. No new positions are created, the in crease of $C00 a year in the Chief Engineer's salary being the only change from the pres ent plan and the position is relatively worth that ranch more compensation. If this change is made Chief Brown tells me he will bo enabled to accomplish vv hat ho had in tended to with the creation of the position of Fire Director, namely, a great improve ment in the system of managing the fire sorvice." No Rush About the Property. The amendment was adopted as offered by Mr. Lambie, who then offered anothorstrik lug out the section in the'original ordinance, which provided for the purchaso of a lot within tho first five wards lor the erection of a building to accommodate a water tower. Sir. Lambie explained that this did not com prehend the elimination of a water tower from tho proposed purchase of new fire machinery. lib offered tho amendment be cause, as the ordinance would not go into ef fect until next February.there would be time enough to purchase property and besides this was a matter that should properly be provided for by a special ordinance. This amendment was adopted as were also amendments to change the title of the ordinance, according to the amendments adopted, and providing that tho section pro viding for the change in tho officers of tho Fire Bureau shall be operativo upon its passace by Councils. The other features of tho ordinance are not to go into effect until February 1, 1802. Mr. Russell asked Chief Brown how tho fire boat, provided for In the bill, would ben efit the Southsido, and how- w ould it bo sig naled for In case of fire? Chief Brown The question of signals is one for after consideration, though "1 havo no doubt they can be easily arranged, as it is done in othor cities. Wo might uo the flash lights, as we have now at some of the bridge entrances, and we can arrange a tele- puunu svsieui, uui. x nave jiui. klvvii mub question any thought as yet. A flreboat will undoubtedly bo a great benefit to the mills and factories of the Southsidc, in fact more than any other part of tho city, for there wero more there within reach of the river than in any other section. Mr. Russell Well, will the boat be swift enough to reach a fire within a reasonable time after it gets an alarm? Chief Brown There is no doubt of it. In other cities wherever flreboats are in use they reach fires very shortly after the-flre enginesarrive. This ended the discussion and tho ordi nance as amended was affirmatively recom mended to Councils. Another matter considered was "an ordi nance regulating and relating to the con ducting and driving of cattlo and animals over the streets of the city." Laying Down the Law to Drovers. The bill makes it unlawful to drive pigs, hogs, Iambs, sheep, heifers, cows, steers, bulls or other animals orcattleonnnystreet,. lane or alley in the city between the hours' of C a. M. and 10 r. M. Between 10 p. it. and 6 a. M. a drove of cattle or other animals less than 21 in a herd may be driven along the streets, subject to the following regulations: The drover or person in charge of such ani mals must apply to the nearest police sta tion and procure from the officer in charge a permit, making application under oath in writing, signed by the porson applying, and setting forth the name of tho owner of tho animals, tho place of starting, theroute to be lollowed, tho point of destination, tho num ber of drivers to accompany the herd and rha l,r. nr atnrtintr nn!: m'pr t.liA l-mito Tho permit thus procured to be carried by tho person in charge oi tuo came aim cxniDiteu to any city officer along theroute on demand. A penalty of $50 for violation of the ordi nance is provided for. It was affirmatively recommended. The smoke nuisance ordinance presented last week by Mr. Warmcastle w as next on the list. Mr. Warmcastle left tho city yes terday, but loft a request that tho ordinance be recommended in its blank form and stat ing that ho would All It out before its sub mission to Councils. Chairman Lambio ruled the suggestion out of order and no action will bo taken until the ordinance is. properly filled out. The Committee ou Public Works met yes terday afternoon and affirmatively recom mended to Councils the lollowiug street improvement ordinances: Grading, paving and curbing Craig street from Filth to Center avenues; Mayflower lroni Lincoln avenue to Keneaaw alley; Hamilton avenue from Filth to Homewood; Filty-fourth from the Allegheny Vulloy Rail road to Butler; Woolslavor alley from Mam to Friendship avenue; Manniou alley Irom Howley to Liberty; Ward from Bates to Frazier.

The two hayseeds played away for an hour and 35 minutes before the game was over and without discovering the trick. Tho ball players and a large crowd gathered around tho tablo,and cheered every good shot made by the captain.as they called the oldest. They got a good deal of quiet sport out of the pair.
