The capital has been fixedrfor the present at $1,000,000; preferred stock, $3,000,000. Tho session ye-tcrday morning was taken up in routino work. The committee, that had been appointed some months ngo to appraise the properties of the various firms interested in the concern, made its final report, having completed its work. A Permanent Organization Inflected. A permanent organization was thenJbrmed by the election of the following directors? Daniel C. ltipley, William C. King, Andrew 3L Bryce, A. A. Adams, August II. Ileisey, James B. Lyon, Joseph Anderson, Daniel Challinor, James T. Wilson, JamesGillinder, II. E. Waddell, William A. Gorby, D..C. Jen kins, A. J. Smith and William P. Shinn. Tho subject of a mold factory for the Joint use of the company was discussed at some length at tho afternoon se&sion. No final action was taken on the project, as it "ttos considered more important tnatiprcpa Tations be made first for beginningiopera-, tions under the new management and that other details be left for future action. It is altogether pi obable that tho -mold factory will be established, as it vi ill pave considerable expense to the different houses. Each factory is at present required) to employ a foreman for the mold shop, .and by the adoption of one lactory for all'this xpcnso would be reduced. Immediately after the business of tho company had been transacted, the directors met and elected the following officers: Dan iel C. Ripley, President; William C King, ."Vice President; Andrew II. Bryce, Secretary; James B. Lyon, Treasurer. James T. Wilson was elected Auditor: Aug. II. Ileisey, Manager commercial de partment; Joseph Anderson, General Mana ;gor manufacturing department, and W. A. Gorby, Purchasing Agent. It Will Control Thirteen Glass Factories. Regarding the formation of tho new com pany, one of the promoters said last night: "Tho UnitedStatcs Glass Company becomes tho owner in fee simple of the 13 glass plants and issues its common stock at par in full payment therefor. The object of the formation of the company is to s stematize and harmonize the working of the several glass works and secure such economies in cost as may result from a consolidation of interests. The prelerred stock is to be sold at par for cash to be Used as norklng capi tal. The properties were all put in at their cash value as determined by committees of Vlisintcrested experts " The credit of inaugurating the-movement .that led to the present organization belongs ,to W. P. Shinn, of this city, lie has worked iaithfullv for two or three years and has carried tho concern to a successful conclu- Eion. It Is said that when work is resumed there will bo a refusal to comply with the de mands of the flint workers for any ndvauco in wages that may be made and hhould the latter attempt to enforce such claims a long 6hut down would no doubt follow. It has not, however, been Haled that the now company will make any warfare against the flint workers' union, and the new scile will only be rejected in case an advance is asked. AN IMPORTANT MEETING. 2. A. 3, K. of I, Postpones Action on the Constitutional Convention. The quarterly meeting ol D. A. 3, K. of L., -which was one of tho largest and most im portant meetings the district has held for a long time, was held yesterday, and was not concluded until last night. The routine work, which was unusually interesting, consumed the greater p.irt of the day. The quarterly reports show ed a largo increase in member ship and finances Three good locals were instituted, among them the Duquesne trac tion employes. There were two important matters left to the Executive Board. One of the-.e was tho proposition to sond delegates to the Consti tutional Com ention. The matter was dis cussed some yesterday, but nothing was done. The other wis the scheme to organize the carpenters of Pittsburg who were thrown out of their unions since the strike. Master Workman Dempsey has been solicited by these car penters to organize them, but for fear of an tagonizing the Brotherhood he preferred to jhae the sanction of the board before pro ceeding. Locals were instructed so keep their mem bers from riding on tho Fifth avenue trac tion road under the penalty of a fine. Mrs. 1. X. Ross nee JIis Laura A. Powell, the Jatejsecrctary of the district, was presented with the set of resolutions passed at tho meeting in January when she resigned.

The proposition treated of last week in The DisrATCH, to make a street from tho mouth of nigh Sixth avenue back of tho rtnrdscrabblo coal yards, and thus relievo Second avenue of its congestion, as well as several other thoroughfares in the down town district, has set some people to consid ering other means of relief. The latest sug gestion is the tunneling of Boyd's Hill through to Second avenue near the Tenth street bridge on a grade with the level of Forbes avenue. The course suggested is from grade on Forbes avenue along Chest nut street. In favor of this project it is claimed that it would not cost much, as the tunnel would bo short and that the Tenth Street Bridge Company could anora to uonato a consid erable part; of tne cost, as it would bring to it all the custom of tho upper Soutnside all above and considerable below Tenth street. There it) merit in the plan, though tho stock holders in the Ft. Pitt Incline Plane might not be able to see it at first glance. Some vears ago when the city was in the grading humor it -was suggested that Boyd's Hill should be leveled, but this idea has been abandoned, not only on account of its im practicability but from the fact that the leveling would destroy the future beauty of this city. It will, despite some of its present unsightlines. be a handsome city some day, and the bluff overhanging Second avenue will be one of the attractive resorts. At present the finest drive in tho world is being made on the brow of Mt. Washington, and in time Grandview avenue will have been hoard of by all the world. There should be one to match it on Boyd's Hill, and a few dollars expended in the ex tension qnd improvement of a short street will make it accessible, and bring it within, three stones' throws of the Court House. A FAMOUS HAUL OF FISH. Sow a Trio of Anglers Canght 1,300 Perch in the Ohio A Story Itecalled by the Death of One of Them In Coraopolis Good FUhlng in the Upper Allegheny. Tho recent death of Christopher Lighthill, iof Coraopolis, removes the last of a famous trinity of old-time fishermen, who could-tcll .fish stories, and true ones, that make the boys' eyes bulge out nowadays. They caught fish in tho Ohio when it swarmed with them. The other two wore James H. McCabo, Sr., and John Cornelius. The latter has been dead several vears. but Mr. McCabe lasted until 'this spring. Lighthill was the youngest of tho trio, ana ne was several years past ,u. In 1S4C the three got into a skiff at the foot of Ferry street, having on board a 300-foot seine, and rowed down to Line Island, about 40 miles. Thcro they made one haul and scooped in 1,300 perch, none weighing less than half a pound and some of them many times that much. They filled their "live" box so tightly that they feared the fish would smother and then beran discussin? w avs and means of eettine back to Pittsburg market. They realized that it would be a bie iob to tow that box 40 miles up stream, but theirhope was in being (OvertaKen D3- some steamDoat. i nue get ting ready to start back in the dusk of even ing they heard the cough of a high-pressure engine down the river, and looking down saw the furnace fire glow of an approaching steamboat. They boarded her with thoir cargo, and the next day sold out in the mar ket. This is said to be the largest haul of fish ever made in the upper Ohio. Charles Eobb, of Montour, an enthusiastic fisherman, says there are more of the finny tribe in tho Ohio than most people suppose and that since the oil has ceased to foul the upper Allegheny there is good fishing, and ifthe river be no further polluted and the safeguards of the law thrown about the game, before many years as good sport will be found in the Allegheny, even as low down as the mouth of the Kiskiminitas as there ever was. ' ONE PLEASURE CUT OFF. One Lawyer Kicks Against His Wife Be coming His Typewriter. Tlaving one's wife for an amanuensis has its advantages and its disadvantages," "re marked a well-known attorney yesterday who knew whereof he spoke. "A wife is quite liable to take liberties, criticising her husband's method of composition, or manner of dictation, that are aggravating in the extreme. If to be a graceful listener is a virtue, to receive dicta tion gracefully is a double virtue. It is necessary in doing that to become a machine for the time being, but an attentive machine that does not read a newspaper or munch an airole during the intervals. A r wife will either interrupt the dictation with suggestions and give her opinion on tho subject or she will be aggravatingly unin terested in it. In either case she tries one's patience dreadfully. "But more generally speaking," he said, i"thero are some people who cannot take .dictation. They are too nervous, they can't stand tne waits Detween woras ana sentences, and their unrest disturbs seri ouslv the one who may bo dictating. It's quite an art to receive dictation properly. The pretty typewriters have it down fine they tell me. How fine I never will know, I fear, as they are tabooed articles in our household."' VANISHED FROM SIGHT. Strange Action of a Boy Yesterday Near Montour Bun. As a traveler passed over what is known as Cokeoven Hill, along Montour run yester day morning, he noticed a stout chunk of a boy about 10 or 12 years old pushing a child's perambulator. The boy was dressed in light colored clothing, knee breeches and straw hat. Near the top of the hill the boy turned around, and seeing the traveler behind him screamed as though possessed by a demon and fled, leaving the perambulator to run (low n the steep hill at will. In It was a sun umbrella. The pilgrim walked on down tho road, and after rounding a bend, found tho lad's hat lying in tho road, and could still hear him howling, but could not see him. The boy was speeding toward a deep hole in the run where the road crosses a bridge, and whether he sprang in and drowned himself or hid in a thicket could not bo learned, as no trace could be found of him in any direction. Xo one seemed to have any knowledge of any crazy boy in the vicinity. CHOICE BITS OF LOCAL GOSSIP.

It Is Considered a Rather Unprecedented Procedure. SENATOR SEEB TAKES A LAUGH ABOUT IT A call has been issued by the people who object to the action of tho Republican Coun ty Executive Committee on Saturday in in dorsing the Governor's appointees forjudges of Common Pleas Court So. 3. It reads as follows: To the Republicans of Allegheny County: ' Wiieheas, The Republican County Executive Committee, on Jaturday, July 11, 1891, at the dicta tion of Fllnn, M.igec and O'Leary, adopted to themselves the power to compel tho Republican voters of Allegheny county to vote for their candi dates for the judiciary, under the transparent game of a non-partisan Judiciary, by voting down the following resolution: Resolved, That the Chairman of this committee be authorized and directed to issue a call for a con vention to nominate three suitable persons as can didates for thcjudgeshlp of the Court of Common riejis Xo. 3, said convention to be held at such place as may hereafter be designated by the Chair man of this committee, on Tuesday, the S5lh day of August, 1891, at 11 o'clock A. si., and the primary meetings to elect delegates to said convention to bo held on Saturday, the 22d day of August, 1891. be tween the hours of 4 and 7 o'clock p. At. Said con vention and primaries to be held and conducted subject to the rules of this committee. The undersigned believe that such action was an outrage upon the rights and privileges of the peo- ?le, a usurpation of power that takes away from he Republicans .-myoIce in the selection of the candidates forjudges of said court and leaves the voters no alternative except to either vote for such selection or stay away from the polls. We as mem bers of snid committee being absolutely opposed to such dictatorial proceedings, call upon all true Re publicans who are opposed to gag law to meet at their respective polling places on Saturday, August 22. 1891, between the hours of 4 and 7 o'clock P. St., then and there to elect one delegate to the Bepubllcan County Convention, to be held ou Tuesday, August 23 1891, at 10 o'clock A. M.. at I,afa)ctle Hall, at Wood street and Fourth avenue, Pittsburg, to nominate three Republican candidates for Judges of the court of Common Pleas Xo. 3, also a candidate for District Attorney. And to elect delegates to conventions to be held in their respective Senatorial districts, on said 25th day of August at 10 o'clock A. M. at a place to be hereafter named for the purpose of electing delegates to the Constitutional Conven tion; and said voters are also requested at said primary to elect one 6tralghtout Republican to act as a member of a stralghtout Republican County Committee. The time and place for the meeting of said committee will be hereafter designated. A Call That Is Without Signers. Lafayette Hall has been seenred for August 25 by the parties who have tho primaries and convention in charge. The call was not signed-yesterday, bnt flvo men were deputed to get signatures, and Captain Gibbs had secured some of them. Judge Fotterman left his office early in tho . day, and Mr. 'Williams was said to be at the 'United States District Attorney's office, out an attendant there said he had not been about since noon. Judge Gripp was not in his office, but it was said that tho call would not be submitted to him but be made inde pendently of the County Committee. There were a number of callers for infor mation at the offices of all the gentlemen named, but they w ent away empty handed. A gentleman 111 Judge Fettennan's office stated that the call with signatures attached would be sent out last night, und ho inti mated that there would be some hustling. A man said that Mr. Williams was not in favor of the bolt, but, as he could not be found, he did not go on record in the after noon. Some 30 members of the Sewickley Repub lican League have asked Mr. George II. Anderson.Presidentof theLeague, to call a meeting for this evening to allow the mem bers to express themselves in opposition to the action of the committee. In compli ance Mr. Anderson directed Secretary Walter Yandcrvort to issue notices for the meeting. The status was discussed pretty generally pro and con yesterday, but beyond what is given above there seems to be no Iresh features in the situation. Judge Fetterman exprossed the opinion that the matter will be carried through to the end, but that only nominations for the Judgeships, District At torneyship and members ol the Constitu tional Csnvention will be made, as the rest are regarded as regular. It Is the Will of the People. Senator John Neeb laughed heartily when asked last night what he thought of tho al leged call for a convention to nominate judges. "The whole affair amounts to nothing," said he. "From the way thecall was worked it is very evident that it was gotten up on short notice, and'the man who wrote it did not know exactly what he was talking about. Doubtless those who favor the plan arc as honest in their convictions as those who think tho other way, but they aro badly mistaken if they think they can ac complish their purpose ol having a little po litical struggloover the Judgeship question. Now, anybody can see how useless it will be to make a fight against two organized bodies, representing the Republican and .Democratic parties. "As to the action of the County Commit- . tee. It cannot be Questioned. At one time I" .favored the idea of a convention, but 1 lounu it so aistastetui to tne puuuc in gen eral that I was soon convinced the other way. Dozens of conscientious Republicans spoke to me about tho matter. 'If yon drag the Judiciary into the whirlpool of politics,' they said, 'you will soon see how the peo ple will protest against it. If the commit tee insists on a convention the people will turn tables and elect three Democrats.' It was easy to see that to call a convention and put on foot a spirited campaign would bo thwarting the will of tho people. Tho best citizens of tho county ana the most ardent party followers feel a repugnance about bringing politics into the judgeship matter, and they will demonstrate this feeling by sustaining the County Committee in its ac tion. I have not the slightest idea that the kickers will have a convention." THE PATTISON OF OHIO. Campbell's Friends in Pittsburg Rejoicing Over His Success They Claim He Can Be KIccted Without Any Difficulty Many Words or Praise. The nomination of Campbell in the Ohio convention was hailed with delight by tho Governor's many friends in Pittsburg. Dem ocrats are all happy over it and are loud in their expressions ot satisfaction. They are also confident that he will be elected. T. O'Leary, Jr., when asked his opinion of tho newly-made candidate, said: "Campbell is the Pattison of Ohio, and the people of Ohio deserve to be heartily con gratulated for having such a man to vote lor. He is not only a man of great executive ability, but has probably the largest per sonal following of any public officer in the country. Like Pattison, he stands strong on his record as an official; During his term as Governor he has fulfilled every pledge made by himself and his party before ne took tho chair. Nobody can whisper a charge of dis honorable action against him. He is stronger than his party, ana will come off with flying colors. Notwithstanding any little un pleasantnesses thnt have occurred he will receive unbroken support. Ohio cannot bo Tammanyized. The people there will make a strong fight for the man who upholds the supremacy of the populace." "I confidently'expect to see Campbell win in Ohio," said W. S. Guffeylast night, "Just ns Pattison did here. Campbell has the rural districts just as Pattison had, and tho Hamilton county opposition won't hurt him at all. The weight of tho rural vote will overshadow tho svote in the cities. I have not tho least doubt of it. Governor Campbell is personally very popular. He has tho politic gift of never forgetting faces, and ho makes a friend of every man he meets. To meet Campbell once is to like him. He is a fine, strong, fellow, a great hustler, a keen fighter, a thorough politician, and I believe he'll win. 1 would like to change my State just for the privilege of voting lor him. But the fight will be a hard one. Both sides are putting up strong candidates. When it is over Camp bell will nave won." "I don't know much about Ohio politics," said ex-Collector Edward Bigler, at the Sev enth Avenue last evening, "but I think that the Democrats are gaining ground in that State, It is a Republican State and the party labors under that disadvantage. I nm not sufficiently acquainted with the platform of tho convention to speak intelligently as to that matter." "Ex-Solicitor General George A. Jenks has not given Ohio politics a careful study. He believes, however, that the tendency of popular feeling is steadily gaining against the policy of the McKinley tariff act, and that this will help tho partv very consider ably. Mr. Jenks thinks that Governor Camp bell will be elected, and it was hardly neces sary for him to add he hoped so. Mr. Jenks had not given the business of the Cleveland convention any consideration and he did not wish to express any opinion without fully acquainting himself with the platform. CONGRATULATIONS FOR CAMPBELL. The Kandall Clnb Jubilant Over His Be Xomlnatlon in Ohio. Tho Randall Club will meet at the Club House to-night to finally arrange all the de tails for tho Fete Champetro at Silver Lako Grove July 2i The club sent a cougratuhv tory telegram to Govornor Campbell upon his re-nomination and expect him to be Sresentatthofete. General P. N.Guthrie, tarshalofthe club, is preparing a short route of parade for the club.

The Reorganization of the Westinghouso Company Completed How Funds Will Be Used The Pleasant Yalley Company Declare a Small Dividend. The stockholders of tho Wcstinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company at the adjourned annual meeting yesterday for mally assented to the plan of reorganization the details of which have been publishedfrom time to time. There were about 40 stock holders present and some of the creditors. Ninety-five per cent of the stock waB de clared to have assented to tho plan. Nothing is now wanting to once more place tho company on a substantial basis but the execution of the details of the re organization scheme. What the share holders have assented to is: To give up 40 por cent of their stock, aggregating $2,720,000, for the use of the 'company. This 40 per cent as well as the 60 per cent retained, is 1 now known bb "assenting stock," and is given a 7 per cent preference over the-5 per cent of non-assenting shareholders. A million of tho com mon stock surrendered is converted into pre ferred stock, and with $3,000,0u0 now issued at par makes an issue of $4,000,000 of pre-' forrcd stock, enrying a 7 percent annual 1 preferential cumulative dividend, which is given an equal preference on the assets of the company. The remaining $1,720,000 sur rendered stock remains common assenting stock. The purposes to which,both the preferred and common assenting Stock are to be ap plied are: Three million dollars par value of the preferred stock to be issued for money and in payment of the company's debts; $500,000 par value of the preferred stock to be left in the treasury of the company to provide further working capital. The following is the new Board of Direc tors: Aueust Belmont, Henry B. Hyde, Marcellus Hartley, George W. Hebardand Brayton Ives, of New York; Charles Francis Adams and Charles Fairchild, both of Boston, and George Westinghouse, Jr., A. M. Byers and Lemuel Bannister, of Pitts burer. Mr. Brayton Ives subsequently inspected the Electric company's plant. He said that with the additional capital now provided the company could do a very profitable bus iness. Later in the day Mr. Bannister re marked that the lack of sufficient capital, which had before crippled them, now being removed, the company could undertake business it was obliged to hold aloof from un til now. Ho said that $28,450 more business was done in the first 11 days of the month than in the first 11 days of June. George Westinghouse, Jr., Paul D. Cranth and Brayton Ives returned East at 430 o'clock in the "Glen Eyre" that took them on board at Wilmerding where they in spected the airbrake works. The directors of the Pleasant Valley lines yesterday declared a dividend of S per cent, payable at the company's offices on and after the 25th instant. The dividend will be paid out of the earnings for the past six months. The report shows an increase of $20,357 85 in the business of the last six months over that for the last six months of 1890. The re spective receipts were $188,884 44 and $168, 528 55. The receipts for last month wero $5,953 30 higher than for June of 1890, the figures for last month being $33,857 35. Tho gross expenditures amounted to $k!4,04fi 05, making the earnings for six months $64, 046 05. A meeting of the executive board of the Luster Mining Company was also held, but only routine business was transacted. HIS ANSWER WAS SUFFICIENT. An Ingenious Excuse for Not Having Paid Up His Box Kent. Mr. Albert L. Swift, cashier of the post office, has been busy the last few days re ceiving the quarterly rent of the box holder, and listening in a great many instances to the murmured apologies offered for the rent not having been paid sooner. Said Mr. Swift yesterday: "About one-third of the box holders postpone paying their dues until the very last minuto, and then come in with any number -of excuses they have been out of town, they have been ill, the office boy didn't report the notice sent to them, or any- thing else that may happen to come into mind. Tho most legitimate excuse onerea this year was given this morning by a nice lookin? vounir business man who said he ,had been getting married and that every thing else naa oeen lorcea to laxe a duck seat. "Tho apparent genuineness of tho re mark," he concluded, "and the perfect frankness of the voung man were quite re freshing. I felt like snaking his hand and saying I've been there myself, but I re frained and gave him his receipt in a thor oughly business-like way. We give notice to every one at the beginning of the quarter, then we serve a second and last call, as the dining car porters say, on the 10th. If that is not responded to after several days' grace we close the box." HE WAS A LIVING' 6KELET0N. A Boy Whose Weight Was Bednced to 40 Pounds Recovers From Brain Fever. . Henry Robinson, a colored boy, aged 15 years, who resides on Twenty-eighth street, was discharged from the West Penn Hospital yesterday as cured. Ho was brought to the hospital May 4, suffering from brain fever. He was emnciated to such a degreo as to re semble a skeleton. His weight was a littlo over 40 pounds, his height being 5 feet 2 inches. In an ordinary stature of such height tho skoleton alone would weigh 32 pouuds. Dr. Anderson, a resident physician, was given the care of the boy. At times he sank,low and was not expected to live, but he overcame the fever, and was released from the hospital. His weight yesterday was 4 pounds, and to all appearance ho was strong and healthy. Gave Bail for a Hearing. The six men arrested Tuesday-night for operating gambling rooms at No. 52 Diamond street were before Magistrate Gripp yester day morning, and gave bail for a hearing Saturday morning. C. P. Berres, who has the barber shop on the first floor, states that he was in no way connected with the faro rooms abovej HELD UP BY THE LAW. Thomas Milieu is in Jail on a charge of de sertion made against him by his wife, Emmit Miller, before 'Squire McMillan, of Chartiers borough. Isaac Dusker, a boy, was locked up in the Eleventh ward station for stealing a caddy of tobacco from William Nickison's store, on Fulton street, yesterday. Jons Eehswabski was lodged in the Twenty-eighth ward police station last night charged with stealing $205 from Joseph AVrauble, a fellow boarder at No. 283S Larkins alley. S. F.

MORE JESSING MONET. Lawrence -Bank Directors Asked to Keturn a Number of Dividends ISSUEDWHENIT WAS-INSOLVENT. The Old Board of Viewers Ignored in the Xew Appointments. GOSSIP OP TWO BIG MUNICIPALITIES Attorney D. Q. Ewing yesterday filed a bill in equity in behalf of the Fidelity Title and Trust Company, assignee of the Lawrence Bank, against W. W. Young, J. B. Young,, T. B. Stewnrt, S. McMahon, J. C. Kirkpatrlck, George McKce, William Flaccus, John Hoerr, S. H. Keller, C. A. Ahlborn, executor' of A. H. Ahlborn; Emma J. Scott, executrix' of John II. Scott, and Lucy C. Carnegie, ex ecutrix of T. M. Carnegie. The defendants are all those who occupied the positions of directors at different periods from the In corporation of the bank in 137G until the doors wero closed November 21, 1889. The suit Is brought to compel them to pay to the assignee $57,603. Thebank.it is stated, was incorporated undor the act of May 13, 1876. In section 16 of that act the following is contained: "If the directors of the corporation shall make any dividend which shall impair the capital thereof, such directors consenting thereto shall be jointly and severally liable in an action of debt or bill in equity in their individual capacities to such corporation for the amount of tho stock so divided, and each director, present or otherwise, when such dividend shall be made, shall be adjudged consenting thereto unless ho shall forthwith enter his protest on the minutes of the board and give public notice to the stockholders." Tho capital stock of the bank was $80,000, 1 divided into 1,600 shares at $50 per share. The directors. It is charged, from May 2, 1879, to October 31, 1889 paid out semi-annual divi dends twice a year, the whole aggregating $57,603. Each dividond was greater than the net profits of the bank, after deducting losses, bad and suSDendod debts, on hand lat the time the dividend was paid. Each of said dividends impaired the capital of the bank to the extent of the dividend. This was in violation of the act of Assembly. Tho liabilities of the bank aggregate $1,085,179 35, and it is still hopelessly insol vent. The defendants, it is alleged, are in debted to the nssurnee for the amount of the dividends by reason of paying them'out. In consequence the Court is asked to compel them to appear and make answer, and to order them to pay to the assignee the full amount of all dividends paid out of the funds of the bank during such times as they were directors.

AX UNPRECEDENTED BUSH. Truly a Marvelous Day for Blaine. A surging, anxious crowd has filled the office of Charles-Somers & Co. constantly during the past several days. It was com posed ot people 01 all classes ana in all sta tions, with a liberal percentage of women, and the thrifty, enterprising element clear ly predominated. They were applicants for transportation to Blaine, whereto-day there is to be a corner stone laying of an exten sive safe works, a new station commenced to bear the name "Blaine," and a great sale of lots by the Blaine Land Improvement Co. Such an outpouring of people exceeded the most sanguine expectations of the com pany. Nothing like it was ever experienced in the real estate trade here. It evidenced the magic of the name as well as.the merits of the new town and the company's adver tising. At noon yesterday over 5,000 tick ets had been issued, and, as the special boat and cars provided for the occasion were al ready overloaded, tickets were withdrawn, much to the disappointment of the scores of people that filled the office and blocked the sidewalk in front, A few hours later the Blaine folks succeeded in securing the steamer Elizabeth, one of the regular Mo nongohela river packets, resumed the issu ing of tickets and were busily occupied at that work at the closing hourlast evening. Every quickly available means of transit to Blaine will be taxed to its utmost limit to- - day, and the promoters ofVthe town so re cently come into nonce may congratulate themselves on having accomplished re markable results in a wonderfully short tttime.

HOME-MADE WEATHER. 1 Big Changes Started Since the Ob servers Becatne Farmers. PREDICTIONS WILL BE SPECIFIC. Forecast for tho Country Will Not Be Hade in Washington. A SCORE OP PROPHETS PUT AT THE WORK Climatology Is to receive more attention under tho management of tho Weather Burcau.which has been transferred from tho War Department to the Agricultural De partment. The intention is to give back some of the comfort the agriculturist lost whon be lost his simple faith in the almanac. Instead of telling us In a general way that there willbe rain or its opposite in Western Pennsylvania, or that indications point in that direction, it is intended to give forecasts for smaller areas, so as to indicate, if possl ble.whethcr moistnessin the land of the soap mines will extend to Allegheny county. It may and probably will not be that fine, but there will be closer study and observation of climatology. The tiller of the soil will got a better show than formerly, a recogni tion that some might suggest is hurried by tho Alliancemovcmcnt,bntno matter by what influence exerted it is in the right direction, as weather is ordinarily a matter of more importance to him than to the urban dweller, unless ne be a seafaring man, and the departure will not make less serviceable prognostications Intended for the mariner. The evolutionist has a chance to score a point in this connection. Human Barometers Are Out of Date. Since the farmers ceased to depend on weather signs furnished by barometrical bones symptoms, ordinarily denominated "rheumatiz," tho curling of the leaves on trees, absence of dew, crying of peacocks, grunting and squealing of pigs, hooting of owls, and hundrods of other indications of weather changes, to say nothing of the moon's phases, an observer will be con strained to notice that they meet with more mishaps than formerly. Yesterday there were thousands of acres of hay lying mown and cured in fields in this county, out not hauled into stack or barn, nor cocked up, as it would have been had the farmers been running their own weather bureau. Sergeant' Stewart, of tho Signal Service station here, states that Prof. Mark W. Har rington, of Michigan, now put in charge of tho weather department, is well equipped, being not only a scientist but a practical man as well. Sir. Stewart says he does not know whether fate has in store for him the prolongation of his position here, but he says he likes the city and would be willing to remain. Hereafter it is expected that the publlo will be informed regarding the origin of every storm expected, how long it will last, the amount of precipitation expected and the territory covered. Hitherto the fore casts for the whole country have been made in Washington, but hereafter the local pre dictors or forecasters will add their observations and it is hoped that n the alliance will produce better results in the wav of DroDhccv. The local forecasters, with the weather maps at hand.are expected - 'j to make'more accurate predictions than at rjresent. as thev are in nossession of facts unknown in Washington that may modify views founded on a general forecast. The local man has the benefit of local indica tions, of which the observer in Washington cannot avail himself. How the Weather Will Be Made. Congress has made provision for 20 fore casters, and one of them will doubtless be located in this city. The number will doubtless be increased. if necessary. The entire country is to be divided among them. The climate of each State will be made a special study, which will be of much use to farmers, as the average weather is what determines the agricultural capacity of a district. Drouth, torrential rains, cloudbursts, fogs, distribution and inequality of rainfall, vari ations of temperature in districts.relative or absolute humidity, distribution of snow, frosts, winds, etc., will be made an espe cial study alone with any other features that suggest themselves to any local tore caster. The appointments have not yet been made and Mr. Stewart could not express any opin; Ion as to when they would be made nor what changes, if any, might be made. This subject is of much more importance than the average citizen not engaged in ag riculture, trade or soeculation ascribes to it. With him it is simply a question as to whether or no he should order a load of coal or carry an umbrella with him when he goes out, but the farmer wants to know whether he can safely cut hay or begin some other enterprise, and the business man wants to know tho conditions that are likely to aflect h trade, while tho bull or bear in the speculative market consults the weather bulletin to determine whether he shall be a bull or a bear, become long or go short on cereals, cotton, etc., and on these conditions hangs railroad speculation like wise.
