THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, SATURDAY. JOLT 11. 189t TALK OF TEE TOWS. Charlie Sevens Rf covering From the Bite of a Copperhead Snake. THE SWIFT XOT ALWAYS WISKEES. A Doctor Asked to Declare That He Wasn't Dead and Buried. QUEER' SIGXS ON SOME CITI STREETS Xittle Charlie Sevens, the boy -who Tvas titten by a copperhead last Sunday, is re covering slowly but surely. Dr. McCrcudy, of Sewickley, thinks the boy will get well now, anil accounts for it partly on the ground that the snake which did the biting vas young. Copperheads grow in poison ous power with years. The case has en listed the sympathy of Sewicklcyans to an unwonted degree, because the boy is wonder fully bright mid sn eet in disposition, and, deaf and dumb as he is, intelligent into the bargain. Since last Sunday many a carriage has stopped at the picturesque cottaze by the Little Sewickley, bringing kindly visitors to inquire for the boy, and to leave delicacies, fruit and flowers, and what de lights the boy more than all else, picture books, magnnne and illustrated papers. He enjoys looking at the pictures, but whenever he comes to one in which a snake figures he closes the book at once. Tlio Rare "ot Always to tho Swift. The watermelon was simply immense. It was really more than he cared to carry to the train, but as it was the first melon of the season that he had bought, and its ad vent in his East End home was calculated to make a sensation, he bought it and ' started away from the Liberty street store with it. He thought he had plenty of time to catch the train, but when he reached the TJnion station he saw som; neighbors hur rying ahead of him, and he quickened his steps. The watermelon wa beginning to feel heavy. But lie hurried, and was almost running when he reached the gate just as the official shut it. "I want to go on that train. pleae let me through," he pleaded. The gentleman opened the gate, and the watermelon with its convoy passed through. Tor a moment the latter paused Id consult the sigm wMA are alleged to inform the traveler, and then seeing a train just in motion on the right he set off on a run to catch it. The water melon's weight had grown double by this time. Still he ran last, holding the big fruit in his arms, much as the lather does the first baby. It was a race bct een him and the train, which was momentarily gain ing speed. AH down the long plattorm he ran: travelers and railroad men stopping to look and to hurl encouraging words at him. He reached the rear platform of the last car at last, and by a superhuman effort swung himself and the piccious melon which by this time weighed a ton aboard. Two brakemen helped him up. One compli mented him on his sprinting powers; the other more practically asked: "Where are are you going to0" "To Brushtonl" panted the sprinter over tne melon. "You are on the wrong train there goes vonr train," hurriedlv answered the brake- man, pointing across the depot to a train just getting under way. The man with the melon dropped off the train at some risk to his limbst tor the cars were moving ten or fifteen miles an hour. As he walked back, to wait twenty minutes for another train, he avoided contact with his fellow-man. His soul was too heavy so was tne watermelon. RIskinir Xerks Rather Than Dollars. Fate and the Pittsburg and "Western Eailroad w ere kind to a large crowd of base ball cranks w ho object to paying for scats inside the ball grounds yesterday. A long line of passenger and box cars was strung out on the tracks between Exposition Park and the river, and about three hundred men and boys clambered up on the roofs of the cars before the game began. The. crowd grew till every inch of this lofty and rather precarious perch was occupied. The view could not ha e been i ery full or satisfactory, but enough of the game was visible through the open space between the top of the fence and the superstructure specially built to thwart such unprofitable spectators to make most of them howl every time the Pittsburgers found the balL Seen from the grand stand the crowd on the car-tops looked very singular only their legs were visible. It was generally remarked that the array of deadheads on the outside was larger yester day than ever before. Sonio Queer Signs in City Streets. A sign outside the Domestic Home on Anderson street, Allegheny, has attracted considerable attention. After the state ment that lodging may be had there for 15 cents a night and Si a week, appears this somewhat startling postscript; "Laying Out the Dead a Specialty." A little expla nation seems needed. Are the lodgers in the home supposed to be expert in laying out, or are they to be laid out? In the East "End a sign to be seen from the Duquesne car window reads: "This Property to Be Let Alone. Inquire . " Of course the word "Alone" is an addition of some enemy, but as it is printed as neatly in white paint on a black board as the rest of the notice, the effect is very odd. Iiots of I'un for the Boys. "Catchee da Strah!" "See der bloomin thing skutc!" were the exclamations of a crow d of bootblacks on Fourth avenue yester day morning. Seven of them then started up the hill on a dead run, following a bunch of excelsior that was mysteriously 6kimmiiig along the center of the street One of the boys had taken a bunch of excelsior and" tied a loosely entwined rope around, so as to leave a long streamer of the rope free. This" he had dropped through the cable road slot, and it caught 0:1 the wire and went sailing along across Smithfield street and up the hill. It passed between a horse's feet as he climbed up ward, and for a few moments it appeared as if .1 runaway were imminent. The animal evi dently was not accustomed toseeingbundles apparently propel themselves along the streets.. The last seen of the excelsior was when it reached Forbes street, where it turned the corner, with the boys still in pursuit. Asked to Prove lie TVas Alive. "Will you please slate whether or not you are dead," wa) the request that greeted Dr. Ferdinand T. Fenn, of Glendalc, as he entered Kegister Conner's office yesterday afternoon. The worthy doctor was so as tonished for a moment that he could not nnswer, but finally managed to stammer that he thought he was alive. The cause of the query was the following letter received ycitcrdsy by Itegister Conner: Ben-ALcN. T., July 7. Mr. Conner, Tittsbur, Clerk of Orphans' Court: Deau Si:: Is Dr. Ferdinand T. Tcnn. of Glcudjlc, Pa., dead, and did he leave a will? If so, 13 a j.erson with the name of Feidi nand T. ncnlick mentioned therein? Let me know, and oMjgc. Yours. ji Charles White. In care of :n Virginia stiect, Buffalo, X. T. As Dr. Fenn entered the office on business an hour after the receipt of the letter he was politely requested to answer if he was dead. . Dr. Fenn was glad to say that he was alive. He was shown the letter, which amused him greatly. The Schlick men tioned in it was a young man for whom he had stood as godfather. He was given the privilege of returning a reply to the letter. OII-TJio Troudrrfut -n-ells of the Russian Field n'lll be described and tho region Illus trated In TO-MORROTrS DISPATCH. A splendid and instructs o article for ovcrj reader. XT The Character or an Innocent tad Is Used as a Target for Inexperienced Detect ive Practice Two Salts Likely to Fol low. The local agent of a well-known express company ia threatened with two very seri ous suits, one of which arose out of an un successful effort to play the detective in tracing a valuable jewel. Some weeks ago a Pittsburg jeweler had occasion to ship a diamond worth about ?2S0. The stone was consigned to the express company. Some days later he received word that it had not reached its destination. The local agent was informed that unless the diamond was traced and restored he would be sued. The agent thought first of securing the services of the police detectives to find the guilty party, but finally decided to win fame for himself by depending entirely upon his own resources. He suspected a young boy clerk employed in the ofiice, and at once hit on a brilliant scheme to catch him. A handsome young woman was introduced to the boy, who soon apparentlv developed a great attachment for him. She used every means in her power to bring about a con fession of his guilt. Her appeals for some little .gift or token from him resulted, not in his making hera present of the missing diamond, as she expected, but a handsome bracelet, which he purchased with money borrowed from friends. The scheme thus failed entirelv. and the agent's exalted 'opinion of his ability in tracing crime took a drop. In the meantime the father of the inno cent boy learned of his son's trouble, and was very angry. The expressman was given to understand that he and his associates might expect a suit for conspiracy to be entered against them very shortly. The jeweler will not give up his diamond with out a suit, and the father is determined to have redress for the injury to his son's character, while the disconcerted agent is scratching his head to know what to do next The latter says it was onlv a joke on the bov, while the jeweler declines to talk for Eublication. The two suits are expected to e entered within a few days. COLONEL DAWSON BACK, And Other Theatrical Swallows Foretell the Approach of the Hustling Season. Colonel Sam Dawson, of the Bijou Theater managerial staff, rolled into town yester day, well-bronzed by Old Sol and sea breezes and as lively as a kitten after five weeks' vacation. He was not expected here for a week or two, as the theater will not open till mid-August, but Colonel Dawson thinks he ought to be around to en courage the other hustlers in the local theatrical line who are dropping into town, and to the best of his ability he will make things cheerful. As to Xew York theatri cals he says that "The Tar and the Tartar" has made a m onderfully good impression al ready, but otherwise the hot weather has put a quietus upon business. There are signs that the coming theatrical season in Pittsburg will be the liveliest ever known here, and it is already certain that besides the new Alvin Theater, and the hardly a year old Duquesne, the Grand Opera House will blossom out in a way to astonish the natives. The opera house stage is being relaid entirelv. and the audi torium is so lull of scaffolding that Manager Wilt gets lost there every day. AN OUTSIDER WILL GET IT. The New Chief Engineer TV11I Not Be a Present Member of the Department. The speculation about Superintendent Evans' successor is apparently as far from correct as ever. Chief Brown has positively ttated to Mayor Gourley that the new office will be filled by nobody connected with the fire or police bureaus. The man will be selected from the outside, and the Chief promises he will be fully capable of earning $3,000 per year. When Chief Bron was asked 'yesterday about the statement of Councilman Bigham that'the new Chief Engineer of the Fire Bureau would not superintend fires he re plied: "The statement is not correct. The new Chief will be expected to fill the duties pro posed for a Fire Director. The Chief Engi neer will have charge of the firemen while in active service and will be in chief com mand at all fires." NECESSITY OP GOOD PAVING On So Prominent a Thoroughfare as Dia mond Street Now Is. , There is a loud cry, and it is growing in volume, for the repaving of Diamond street. Of late years it has become one of the prin cipal thoroughfares of the city, and yet is in a dangerous condition, owing to the holes that have been worn through the cobble stone pavement. Some people who use it call'attention to its dangerous condition, while some alleys are as smooth as floors with asphalt pave ments. There seems to be considerable cause for the grumbling. BLOW TEAVEL ON FRIDAY. Most People Afraid to Start on a Journey on an Unlucky Day. "Many people going out to-night?" asked a reporter of Jim Grady, one of the TJnion depot officers, last evening. "Xo," was the reply. "It is Friday." "But what does the day have to do with the travel?" "It has a great deal to do with it Friday, ycu know, is considered unlucky, and few people will venture on a trip on that day. I havejalways noticed that the business diops orhen Friday comes around. Only these travel who feel they must go." HUMOR BUI Nye had a terrible time with some eccentric fireworks on the Fourth. Scolds letter in THE DISPATCH to-morrow. HAH0NEY DIED OP DBINE, And His Drunken "Wife Rode to Town Sit ting on His Coffin. Daniel O. Mahoney, of West Bellevue borough, was found dead in a ravine near his home yesterday morning. He and his wife, both over 50 years of age, lived in a little tumble-down shanty. On Monday Mahoney started to the store to buy some coffee. His appetite overcame him, and be drank so much liquor that while walking along the edge of a deep hollow, he fell down through the bushes to the creek below. The body was found yesterday morning, ana tne uoroner notinea. A. wagon was sent down and the remains were placed in a rough box and started toward the city. In passing the home of the deceased his a"ed wife was discovered sitting on the step in a filthy condition and so drunk that she knew nothing. She was lifted into the wagon and hauled to the city, rolling about over the coffin of her husband, and yelling like an xnaiau. 'Squire Semple committed the woman to jail lor ten days, charged with vagrancy. She will probably be sent to the Poor Farm. The old couple were known for miles around for their great desire for whisky, on which they almost lived. No inquest will be held.

Prominent Partisans in Favor of a non partisan Judiciary. A PLAN FOR PURIFYING CONTENTIONS The ghost still walked late yesterday afternoon and would not down. But though politicians had their ears pointed, one way and the other, to catch points, there was nothing especially new developed except that a number of gentlemen were quoted by different authorities, each in its own fashion, one representing them as favoring the Gubernatorial appointments and the other as favoring a convention and a new deal, while some would like to dis card at least two cards and draw to the third. In consequence it is just possible, according to pretty general expectations, that the Republican County Committee will be placed in a box nearly similar to that in which Solomon found himself when he cut theGordian knot by proposing to cut the baby in two, only that the committee's position may be more difficult, as the baby isn'tlikely to submit to the dividing arrange ment. An opinion was expressed that Mr. Fetterman had trusted too much to promises, and should, to make the riffle more easily, have set up delegates as Judge Porter did previous to the naming of the judges by .the Governor. In Favor of the Appointments. Controller Morrow, Councilman McGon nigle, Mayor Gourley, Chief J. O. Brown, Collector Warmcastle, C. E. Speer and Attorneys John S. Lambie, K. A. Balph, E. B. Petty and C. C. Dickey think the committee should satisfy the Governor's appointments, as an indorsement of the idea of a non-partisan judiciary. Attorneys L. P. Stone" and J. E. McKelvey did not com mit themselves, but hazarded the opinion that the indications pointed to a possible snarl that might be hard to unravel. On the other hand, Lawyers John F. Cox and T. M. McFarland, Dr. J. P. McCord and Assistant Postmaster Edwards ask for a new deal, with more or less pronounced- ness. Assistant District Attorney IT. S. Will iams, who is an aspirant, agrees with Judge Fetterman that rule 19, of the Republican Committee, does not confer on it the power to ratify; that there is no vacancy to fill, and all that the committee has power to do is to call a convention, if wanted. The ground taken is that any member of the party has a right to present himself as a candidate for office if he is willing to pay the fiddler, and the committee must recog nize him. K. B. Parkinson appears to look at the situation humorously, and says that as there is no longer any politics injthe county, and the btate Kepublican duels show no pres ent disposition to disinter the hatchet, there doesn't appear to be much left for either Democrat or Republican who loves action but to join the Farmers' Alliance party. The Making of an Alliance Man. Mr. Parkinson cannot see anything Jef fersonian enough in the present situation to draw out a Democrat. It being objected that he had been too long divorced from agricultural pursuits to be eligible for mem bership in the Alliance party, Judge Ewing suggested that he had a potato-hoeing job on hand, and he would allow Mr. Parkinson to acquire the necessary qualification by pulling out the weeds in the patch and kill ing the Colorado beetle. Mr. Parkinson has the offer under advisement. All this brings ex-County Commissioner George Y. McKee forward with his plan of purifying conventions by the abolition of the delegate system. He suggests a modi fication of the "Washington county system. Instead of, as then, electing delegates and instructing them as to first, second and third choice at the primary selections, and then leaving them to their judg ment, Mr. McKee suggests that at the primaries, voters indicate first, second and third choice, and make the judge of election the delegate to the convention, strictly bound to carry out the wishes of those who send him, without power to trans fer his credentials to any one. Mr. McKee argues that it is of little use for the people to express preierences so long as a delegate can do, substantially, what he pleases in the convention. Remedy for Grievances. As the primaries are under the law's con trol, Mr. McKee Bays that an aggrieved party could have a remedy by prose cuting a judge who might; be derelict. He could also have the judge paid for his trouble, say ?5, and all the members of the primary board might be paid for the trouble of conducting the election, the money therefor to be provided by those who stand for nomination. The present delegate system, Mr. McKee thinks in many cases no more than a farce, and very different from what it was in the 50's, when a delegate who disobeyed in structions or sold out would have found his residence subsequently very uncomfort able.
