J. C. Slocum, mechanical engineer for the
World's Fair, is stopping at the Duquesne.
He is an intelligent young man and has
come on from Chicago to interview local .
iron men about materials needed in his de
partment. His business is to look after the
power to run the Exposition. Mr. Slocum
said they would require considerable 24
inch pipe, and he has been at McKeesport
to see the National Tube "Works people.
Their plant is the only one in the country
that makes large sizes.
"Wherever I go," he said last evening,
"I find the manufacturers are very liberal
and this makes it pleasant for me. It was
estimated originally that the buildings
would cost 513,000,000, but the people at
large are patriotic, and as the fair is in
tended to help the nation the work will be
done for considerably less. It would be im
possible to put up the structures at private
enterprise for what the Columbian Exposi
tion Company is hai ing them done.
AH Buildings to Be Brady Soon.
"The work is being pushed rapidlv, and
by December 1 all the buildings will be en
closed according to contract After the
Fite was selected all the quarreling and
bickering ceased, and everybody got
down to business The space for State
buildings has already been alotted. Penn
sylvania's position is one ofthe best, if not
the finest of all. New Yorl. of course, is on
a par. The ground is divided according to
the importance of the State and its indus
tries, and the people in charge tried to
make the allotments fairly. I have talked
with Mr. Guffy since I have been here. He
is enthusiastic, and says the Keystone State
will be well represented. The Chicaeo peo
ple are expecting much from Pennsylvania,
and I dont think they will be disappointed.
"In a general way, as nearly as I can re
member, the buildings will cover 100 acres
of land. About 730 acres of the unim
proved portion of Jackson Park will be
used. The Illinois State buildings will be
located on the improved section iro.iine on
the lake. The structure for the liberal arts
nr.u manufactures will be one mile around.
This will give the people some idea ofthe
size of one at least I estimate that 2.,000
liorse power will be ncccssarv to run the
.Fair.
The Structures AH to Be Movable.
"The buildings are being put up so that
they can be removed at the conclusion of
theExposition. Machinery Hall is being
Imilt on the depot plan, and wil' ensist of
three connected buildings. This wi.l allow
three aisles. It is the intention to sell the
hall in the end to make railway stations.
The contracts for the materials are
let as last as needed. All the build
ings will be composite and made pf
wood and iron. They will be covered
with a mixture of stucco and several other
ingredients of a fibrous nature. The con
tracts are given out by bid, and thev are go
ing all over thecountrv. One of the feat
ures will be a pretty lagoon between Ma
chinery Hall, the Agricultural, Adminis
tration and several other buildings. The
design is unique, and will be appreciated.
"It is not true that a number of men have
been attracted to Chicago by the Fair, and
that the city is fnll of idle people. There
is no reason why anybody should be out of
work in Chicago. " The Exposition has
"boomed many of the industries, and
the building trade has re
ceived a great impetus. The labor
problem is regulated bv the unions, and
they are careful to see that it is not over
done. The local people are given the pref
erence, and if more workmen are needed
they w ill produce them through the proper
channels.
Struggling With the Admission.
"At present the directors are wrestling
with the price of admission. It is a very
important question, and they realize that
they will blunder scriouslv if they make it
too'high. I don't think more than B0 cents
w ill be charged, but then nobody knows.
This wa the rate at the Philadelphia Cen
tennial. "Whatever is made after paying
expenses goes to reimburse the stock
holders. They are men who live
chiefly in Chicago, and have put up $5,000,
000 to make the Fair go. Conservative
business men estimate that the stock will
pay 30 per cent. This is a good profit. , ,
"The Commissioners abroad are wining
and dining foreigners at present. The Ex
position needs to be advertised extensively
to cet the people across the water inter
ested. I think by giving feasts that a
better advertising scheme could not have
been adopted. Thev- are representative
men and will attract attention. This is the
result aimed at."
James M. Gufic,one ofthe Pennsylvania
Commissioners, went to New York last
evening. Mr. Gufl'ey said the next meeting
would be held at Harrisburg August 3. The
Governor has not named the committees,
but as soon as the work is apportioned each
man will give his attention to it. The by
laws, etc, are being prepared. The Com
mission must have rules and a policy to
guide it.
FIEM FAITH IK DALZELL.

Ex-Sheriff MtCandless is home again
from a tour of the State in the interest of
Hon. John I)al7ell"s canvass for the Presi
dency of the Itepublican State League of
clubs. He is in an excellent humor. To
quote his own language:
"I tell you Dalzell is on top. He can't
be beat. 1 told Itobinson right after that
meeting of the Executive Committee lie
couldn't hac taken a step that would have
inured better to our benefit The constitu

consistent, mutt stand bv his resolution.
"Wee got them foul, we nave, sure. Dal
zell is the next President. Can't beat him
now."
Collector AVarmcaMlc left for "Washing
ton last evening on business connected with,
the department. He takes the ground that
by debarring the mushroom clubs no harm
was done to Dalzell. His chances are as
good as they were before the Executive
Committee took its action. Mr. AVnrracas
tle does not conceal the fact that he is for
Jack llobinson against Dalzell. The feel
ing is becoming strong among con
servative I'epublicans that a com
promise should be made. Tom Cooper
sounded the kejnotc when he said the posi
tion vas not worth fighting for. The red
headed ex-chairman, however, hasn't much
lo e for Jack Robinson, and it is not prob
able that his advice will be heeded. He is
charged by Robinson's friends with trying
to injure his neighbor wherever he "can.
The Quay people, it is claimed, are too
strong for Dalzell, and will defeat him.

Dr. George G. Groff, President of the
State Board of Health, is in the habit of
T taking long tramps during the summer. He
organizes a small party, supplied, with a
camping outfit, and they walk over some in
teresting portion of the United States
studying the fauna and geological forma
tions. "When he wasiat the Seventh Avenue
Hotel some time ago he spoke of one of his
trips through Virginia.
"A good section of that State," he said,
"has taken a step backward, and the land
that once flowed with milk and honey is
nothing short of a barren waste. This is
true ofthe country that was early settled
by John Smith and the English. In mnnv
places fine plantations that once yielded

fields covered with a short thick under

animals arc abundant, and the natives kill
them for food. It is not uncommon to strike
a stretch of laurel that reaches as far as the
eye can see, and it is the easiest thing in the
world for people to lose themselves in
these wilds. Jamestown that was once the
1ridc of the first settlers has become a vil
age of negroes. In one of the obscure
counties I was told that the judge was col
ored, so were the Sheriff, squires and con
stables. In addition to being arrested by
colored men, a white culprit would be tried.
by a jury of negroes. The old "Washington
and Lee "University, which has educated
many of the noted men of the
State and country, has rapidly de
clined, and the faculty is there waiting
for students. All these things are sad, but
some day Virginians will once more be

VALTJEDTHE GOLD PIECE.
A Business Man. Attributes Ills Luck to a
Present From His Mother.
"This is my mascot," remarked a bnsiness
man vesterdav, as ne pulled a origin ?0-
igold piece out of his vest pocket and held it
up for the reporter to see it. It was made
in 1884, and so was not'valued on account of
its age. "My mother gave me the money
when I was hard pressed," he continued,
"and I have had great luck ever since. I
wouldn't part with it for manv times its
worth, and I attribute my good fortune to
its influence. Since I.have had it all my
ventures have turned out well. Every
thing has gone to suit me.
You know sometimes a man will be in-
r-dustrious and use good judgment, onlv to
rind that things don t nt and he is disap
pointed. I have great faith in this piece of
money, and I will cherish it as long as I
live. "
"Now, I am not superstitious, but it is
strange how people will pin their faith to
small things. Some men carry around a
horse chestnut, and as long as they have it
they claim they never feel a twinge of
rheumatism. Others hang up horseshoes
over their doors, and some take kindly to a
rabbit's foot. "Whatever the influence, all
'that one needs is confidence in himself, and
it sucn simple things give men that ieeling
to that extent they become lucky and valua

afraid to undertake a venture on Friday.

BUSINESS IS FAIE.
Not so Many People Traveling, but Reve
nues of Roads arc Keeping Up.
John K. Patt, Traveling Passenger Agent
or the Chicago, Milwauke and St. Paul
road, was at the Monongahela House yester
day. He says that considering the condi
tion of the money market the business is
cood. The railroads are enjoying better
'revenues than they did Inst year. In the
passenger line he notices that this year peo
ple arc going "West alone or in pairs. In
former seasons they traveled in parties of
five or more. This shows how the passenger
traffic is cut down, but as the road enjoys a
first class local trade, the receipts are not
reduced.
The industrial commissioner is doing a
great work for this line in the lumber dis
tricts of Northern Wisconsin and Minne
sota. It is a new department, and his busi
ness is to furnish information about the
country for settlers, and promote the forma
tion of new towns. According to Immi
grant Inspector Layton's reports many of
the German and Scandinavian people that
lave passed through the Union depot this
summer were bound to the sections named.
They are hardy workmen, and in that terri
tory will be in their element. Minnesota is
famous for its Swedish settlements, and
"very decent citizens they make.
PUSHING HIS THEATEB.
Mr. Davis Makes Another Visit to Pittsburg
to See the Progress.
C L. Davis, the actor, registered once
more at the Anderson yesterday. He was
rather provoked at the reports that ""Wil
kinson's "Widow" was a failure in Chicago,
and that it was billed at the Duquesne
Theater. He says it is a succesSj and vv ill
be played in his new theater this winter.
At times he says he fears he is spending too
much money on his house in Pittsburg, and
the people won't appreciate it. The
irapings, which were made for Mandel
Bros., of Chicago, by "W. B. McEnry, are
now on exhibition in the "Windy City.
Some of the tapestries from France ar
rived the other dav on the steamer Bur
gogne. Mr. Davis says the theater will be ready
at the date fixed spite of all the delays.
He claims the scenery will be out of sight
and the drop curtain will cost ?3,000. It
will be painted on the ground by Moses,
Graham & Heed as soon as the house i" in
condition. The chairs are being made iu
Chicago and will soon be ready.
A GANG WAS THESE.
Pickpockets Wntched Too Closely at Home
wood to Work Successf ally.
"Were there many crooks at the Home
wood races?" said Special Agent Houghton,
of the Pennsvlvania road last evening, re
peating a question asked. ""Why, yes,
you could n t keep them away from
the crowds they had. It kept me
busy watching the railroad, and I recognized
a number of pickpockets from other places.
"I only heard of one theft. The gang
knew they were closely guarded, and they
had to confine themselves to betting. There
is a crowd of fellows who follow the races,
and they are bad people. Outside of a row
at the station, we hadn't much trouble."

Mr. Carleton Says Tennessee Democrats
Will Support Cleveland.
G. A. Carleton, a Nashville politician,
passed through the city last eveninggoing to
New York. He says the wheat crop in the
State has never been better for 20 years, and
the farmers are happy. He thinks the season's
prosperitv will clip the wings of the Alli
ance and knock the life out of the People's
party. In the South the two organizations
will injure the Democrats more than the
Republicans.
Grover Cleveland, he said, was most
talked of for the Presidency in Tennessee.
Mr. Carleton claims the delegation will be
instructed to vote for him. He thinks
Grover is sound on the silver question, and
is the strongest Democrat in the country.

THE
PIQUED FOR A PARK.
Northsiders Have Sites for One That
Will Eival Schcnley.
ONE WAT TO BEAT TBE BRIDGES.
Fire Department Chief Not to Be Named
for Some Time.
SUNDAI EVENTS IN THE TWIN CITIES
Allegheny is waiting for its philanthrop
ist, and the particular variety of benefactor
which that very quiet section of the county
is on the lookout for is a Mrs. Schenley.
In short, Alleghenians are just a little bit
jealous of Pittsburg's new breathing and
recreating ground, and ardently desire a
similar resort for themselves. There is well
understood feeling among prominent North
siders in this direction, and the benefit which
a large acreage of ground, such as Schen
ley, would be to themselves and their chil
dren has been discussed very seriously, and
quite frequently. There has been some
talk of opening up a subscription list for
the acquisition of enough money to buy
sufficient territory for the purpose, but its
questionable success has interposed an ob
ieetion. So Alleghenians are awaiting their
Denefactor with the acres.
Any person conversant with the topograph"-of
the country northward and east
ward of Allegheny can best recognize how
generous nature has been in the matter of
the city's entourage. It has often been said
that natives of a place know less about
their surroundings than their visitors, and
it is possible that many citizens are un
conscious of the charming bits
of scenery which abound within
a few minutes' ride of their own doors. In
one direction, especially at this time of
year, out by the Perrysvijle road, are at
tractions to be found in the undulating
woodland, refreshine in its garb of varying
green, which are accorded more appreciation
by the chance visitor than they receive at
himo. The gently sweeping hills and grass
covered valleys into which the surface is
broken aliord many vistas of scenery of a
quiescent and peaceful character similar to
that which in other lands finds enthusiastic
admirers and reflection on the painter's can
vas. It is out in this direction that nature has
furnished facilities for a park that would
require nothing from art to make it attract
ive, and beside which Schenlev would
scarcely be mentioned. Alleghenians rec
ognize they are a long way Irom the East
End of this city, and, very naturally,dcsire
for themselves "a recreation ground within a
reasonable distance of them. The trend of
sentiment is in this direction, and it inay
not be a false prophecy to say that it is
likely of accomplishment.
BEATING THE BBIDGE-EEEPEBS.
An Alleghenian's Scheme for Evading Toll
Knocked in the Head.
A man who lives over in Allegheny and
works in an office in Pittsburg has been
working an ingenious racket on the bridge
toll-keepers for some time past. He comes
over to his work early in the morning and
returns late at night, and for several years
has been trying to raise some plan whereby
he could escape paying the inevitable toll.
At last he hit upon an extremely simple
hnt decidedly risky scheme, which, up to a
few nights ago, worked like a charm. On
leaving home in the morning he attired
himself in his wife's large traveling cloak,
and, aided by a few plaits of the lady's
golden tresses and her last year's bonnet, he
invariably succeeded in passing and repass
ing the vigilant watchers on the bridge
without arousing their suspicions. His
-success had, however, inspired him with a
jaunty air winch almost proved his un
doing. "When coming home Tuesday night,
sometime after 10 o'clock, he had the mis
fortune to meet the crowds who were re
turning home from the Allegheny Park
concert and having unbounded faith in his
disguise, he hopped along as if to the man
ner bom.
It was, however, a case of pride going be
fore a fall. Right in his path lay an
unctuous banana peeL His foot stepped
gracefully upon the obstruction and he sat
down with a unanimity rarely equaled even
in a council meeting." Several gentlemen
rushed to assist the ''lady," who scrambled
to her feet and fled for all she was worth.
"When the ingenious schemist reached home
his wife found that her best cloak was torn
into shreds and henceforth the bridge com
panies are 2 cents ahead every day.
AN IDEAL PUBITAN SUNDAY.
Great Reformation That Has Overspread
Allegheny City.
Since Allegheny has become a city of the
second class and Superintendent Muth and
Assistant Superintendent Glenn have taken
hold the place has become as peaceful as a
country town on Sundays. In fact, the
gates are virtually barred at 9 o'clock on
Saturday, and the people go to sleep until
Monday morning. At least that is the im
pression one receives from a glance over the
police dockets. From 1:30 o'clock yester
day until midnight there was not a single
arrest made in all the city. In fact, the
night before it was wonderfully quiet. At
the morning hearing there were only 28
cases, and as a result Mavor Wyman got
through in time to attend church. "
The only arrests made during the day over
there were 15 men who went into a Hunga
rian speak-easy, a boy who went swimming
and two men who had wandered in from the
country with too much beer aboard. The
speak-easies seem to have entirely quit
operations. Outside of the Hungarians not
another house could be found open in the
city. Superintendent of Police Muth ex
plains this from the fact of constant police
vigilance, and also on account of the numer
ous clubs. He says there are so many clubs
where members can get beer that they do
not care to take the risk of going into a
speak-easy, and for that reason the proprie
tors of illegal drinking houses find a want of
patrons.
SHAKIEST DOG IN THE C0UNTBY.
George Graham Claims That Title for a
Pleasant Valley Canine.
George Graham, the hustling two-horso
power motorman-conductor of the all-night
Pleasant Valley car, has a dog that runs
side by side the front platform of his
vehicle from midnight until daylight and
later. For all-around sagacity, George says
he will back "Nellie" against the canine
world.
"What do you think she does, nowa
days?" he asked, yesterday morning.
"Why, she must have learned in some way
that they're going to catch unlicensed dogs
and put them in a pound in Pittsburg, for
whenever we get to the bridge, if late, she
climbs on the platform of the car and
doesn't jump off until we reach Allegheny
again. Smartest dog in 17 States, that."
NOT YET DECIDED.
Mayor Gourley Wants More Ucht On the
Police Disability Matter.
Chief Brown and Mayor Gourley will
hold a conference this morning on the
ordinance providing for a police disability
fund, passed by Councils at the last meet

heartily in favor of the idea of such a fund,
but is not certain about the provisions of
the ordinance.
He hopes to be further enlightened on the
subject by Chief Brown.

The Chief farther states that no matter
what action is takenhe will not announce

PUT THE POLICE TO FLIGHT.
Seven Dogs Enjoy a Free Fight in the
Seventeenth Ward Station Officers Es
cape Through the Windows How One
License Court Was Ronted.
An amusing and unexpected feature of
the licensing of dogs occurred about 10
o'clock Saturday night at the Seventeenth
ward police station. The day had been a
busy one and at 9:30 o'clock 103 licenses
had been issued. Sergeaut Logan had put
away the book at that hour and commenced
to rest. In a few minutes, however, seven
or eight men came in with dogs. They
came in at the same time and while one
dog was securing its license the other dogs
were placed on the floor;
Among them were a bulldog, a New
foundland, two vellow curs from Shaler
township and a herce-looking little Span
iel. "What provoked the dogs that were
visiting has not j-et been ascertained, but as
if by inspiration and mutual enmity they
began to fight. The bulldog and the New
foundland and the little dogs all "set to"
and a noisy and exciting scene was enacted.
Chairs were overturned and the owners of
the dogs fled precipitately out of the front
door.
Sergeant Logan took a nearer exit and
jumped out of the window. Captain Bro
phy, who has faced many a crowded speak
easy without fear, took a similar route and
in this respect was followed by Lieutenant
Andy Orth. The barking and grow ling at
tracted a large crowd to the station, but no
one dared enter the room where the fight
was progressing. The dogs finally found
their way into tlie street and the police re
turned again into their own quarters. Sev
eral of the dogs have not been found by
their owners.
FORMERLY LIVED HEBE.
The Kennedys, of the Spring Garden Bank,
Well Known in This City.
It doesn't seem to be generally known
that the Kennedys who are in trouble in
connection with the Spring Garden Bank,
of Philadelphia, were once residents of
Pittsburg, but such is the case, and there are
a number of "old-timers" in this city who
recollect their father well, though the men
who are in tribulation had not impressed
their individuality at the time they left
here. A gentleman who went to school
with them states that so far as he knows
they averaged about as boys generally do.
Their father was Thomas Kennedy, a
man of high character and wealthy for
his time. He has been dead, for a
number of years. About 1850 or 1852 he
was a partner of J. J. Gillespie in the look
ing glass and picture frame business. About
the time mentioned, Mr. Kennedy went
into business alone, opening the same
kind of a store on Fourth and "Wood streets.
In addition to picture frames he sold
watches, clocks and jewelry. In those days
there were few merchants who dealt in ex
clusive lines.
After going to Philadelphia Mr. Kennedy
increased his wealth considerably. Fifty
years ago a man with 50,000 was considered
quite rich, and when a fortune ran into six
figures its owner was a man of immense
consequence. For instance, when the aver
age inhabitant of the Chestnut or Laurel
Itidee wished to express an idea of great
wealth, he spoke of the "Shinnebargess"
(Schoenbergers). Croesus wasn't in it when
they were the standard comparison.
"WAB FOB A BIT OF 1AND.
Brnshton and "Wilkinsburg Fall Out Over
an Aliened Contract.
Brushton and "Wilkinsburg are getting
into an interesting controversy. There is a
strip of land lying between Brushton
station, on the Pennsylvania Railroad, and
Penn avenue, which Brushton says should
belone to her. but "Wilkinsburc claims as
Jior own. Brushton says that when "Wil
kinsburg was incorporated it was agreed
this strip should belong to Brushton, per an
agreement made between the residents of
the strip and "Wilkinsburg, that if they
would not oppose the project for a borough
the incorporators would take care the strip
was not included in the city limits, with the
natural adjuncts of city taxes and responsi
bilities. Now, it is saidj "Wilkinsburg ignoies this
agreement, and is determined to keep the
strip, much to the annoyance of Brushton,
which wants the piece of ground for an out
let to Penn avenue. The residents of the
strip want to be taken in by Brushton, and
the people living below the railroad track
would also like it to belong to Brushton,
because then a way would be opened to
Penn avenue. Brushton Councils have
been enjoying some redhot discussions on
the subject, but it is expected that it will
be amicably arranged between the two
boroughs.

WOKE OP POLICE ON A QUIET SUNDAY
Illegal liquor sellers played the most im
portant part in yesterday's police proceed
ings. As a result of informations made by
police officials, quite a number of speak
easies were closed and their proprietors
placed behind the bars. The greater num
ber of places closed were in Pittsburg,
though Allegheny swung into line with
some of her own choice productions of the
speak-easy order.
Under the inspiration of Inspector Mc
Aleese's energy the first police district was
ahead of all other sections in raids. The
first one was the old brick row at the Point,
known as "Bice's Castle," which the police
swooped down upon in the afternoon. They
came away with the proprietors of two

KIDNAPED BY HIS UNCLE.
How a Citizen of Blairsvilie Disturbed an
Allegheny Home.
As an instance of the many strange little
occurrences that go to make up the routine
life of a police sergeant in charge of a sta
tion house, the followiug is given: Late
last night Herman Burgell, of Troy Hill,
appeared at Allegheny Central station in
search of his little boy, who had practically
been kidnaped by his uncle, who was suffer
ing from temporary aberration superinduced
by liquor.
The story he told was that a brother-in-law
named Layton, who resides in Blairs
vilie, had come to visit him. While on the
way he accumulated more of a jag than he
could control. As a result he did not want
to face his sister, but finding her little
C-year-old boy on the street, he took the
little fellow's hand and invited him to go
and see the sights of the city. The parents
waited until after dark, but the boy did not
return, and then they learned how he had
disappeared. He had not been picked up
in Allegheny and. none of the police knew
anything about the man in Pittsburg. The
father then started out to find both his
brother-in-law and son.
NOT A PAIS OF INNOCENTS.
Two Juvenile Southside Vagrants That
Are Badly "Wanted in Tjonisvllle.
Last week Officer Wright, of the South
side district, found two boys in a Lake Erie
car and sent them to the Twenty-eighth
ward station as vagrants. They gave their
names as Thomas Lailey, 18 years old, and
Harry Warner, 17 years old, and their
home as Cincinnati. At the morning
hearing both boys told an apparently
straight story to Magistrate Snccop, the
gist of which was that one was a baker and
the other a cigar buncher, and that they
came here to secure employment. There
was no specific charge on which the boys
could be held, and they were discharged.
Yesterday Captain Stewart received a
letter from the police authorities of Louis
ville asking for the boys nnd stating that
they were both wanted in Louisville for
burglary, the officials having learned of
their whereabouts through the papers. As
the two boys left the city after their dis
charge they could not be found.
PEBSECUTED FOB HIS W0BK.
A "Walking Missionary is Arrested
for
Dispensing Spiritual Comfort.
Captain Brophy, ofthe Second police dis
trict, arrested a walking speak-easy last
night. The speak-easy was the person of
Bichard Devine, a man about 50 years of
age. He was arrested on Railroad street,
near Thirty-fifth street, and an information
will be mado against him this morning for
selling liquor without a license and on Sun
day. Devine had on his person several
bottles of liquor and a tincup, with which
he dispensed his stock.
He had been seen frequently during the
last week peddling his liquorin the vicin
ity of the place where he was arrested.
Nothing is known of the man nor of his
home or prior occupation. The drinks he
sold were at 10 cents each and were of
whisky and gin.
B0MBABDED THE SYNAGOGUE.
A Crowd of Bad Boys Seriously Interrupt
Sunday Services.
During a meeting at the synagogue, at
Third avenue and Grant street, last evening
a crowd of boys gathered about the building
and some of them threw stones and pieces of
watcrmellon through the windows. One
stone struck a lamp in the room, and the
broken glass inflicted slight injuries on sev
eral persons present. When the police
reached the scene the boys fled, but Officer
Spoigo succeeded in arresting Robert Mel
len, John Jones and William Nuntha, who
were taken to Central station.
The boys were subsequently released on
forfeits, and they all declare that the boys
who threw the stones escaped arrest.

SUNDAY POLICE COURTS.
Not a Very Large Percentage of Serious
Offenses Crooks nave Pretty Generally
Deserted the City for the Summer Ke
sorts Some Workhouse Sentences.
Business was not exceptionally large at
the various Sunday police hearings yester
day. This was largely attributable to the
fact that nearly all the crooks and slick
fingered people are out of the city, paying
their unpleasant attention to the patrons of
summer resorts.
A Small Crowd at Central.
At the Central police station Magistrate
Gripp had but twenty cases to handle.
George Little had ordered a boy to black his
boots at Water and Smithfleld streets, and
when the Job was completed ho kicked the
lad all over the street and abused him
shamefully. A crowd collected and with it
an officer, who arrested Little. Ho had
nothing to say at the hearing, and as he had
been there before a 90-days's sentence to tho
Workhouse was imposed. Salon Gambetto
had been arrested on Grant street for draw
ing a knife and making other warlike pre
parations forassault upon Robert Coleman.
Gambetto's grievance against Coleman re
sulted from the latter having the Italian ar
rested recently for disgraceful conduct. A
sentence of 33 "days was Gambetto's dose.
Edward McCurdy and James Richardson
had been arrested at the notorious Basin
alley by Officer Rogers. There had been a
fight in this section and Rogers went in to
arrest the lighters. Ho caught McCurdyand
was taking him to the patrol box, when he
was sunounded by a mob of hoodlums, one
of whom threw a brick, striking the officer
in the face and knocking him down. Mc
Curdy took advantage ofthe opportunity to
get away. The officer scrambled to his feot
just ns the crowd was closing in on him. He
drew his revolver for personal safety and
flred two shots, which had tho effect of
scattering the crowd, after which ho
arrested Richardson and rearrested Mc
Curdy. McCurdy proved that he did
not throw tho brick, but ho was one of
the originators of the trouble and will be
sent to Morganza, where he has already
been a couple of times. Richardson denied
having anything to do w ith the trouble and
was discharged. Officer Rogun will en
deavor to ferret out who were the parties
that assaulted him and more arrests are ex
pected. W. II. Bender, ofthe Southside, and Annie
Palmer were fighting at the corner of Sec

KOOM FOR SPREADING.
A Brilliant PJan for Making a Short
Koute by Tunnel to
THE SUBURBS OP THE SOUTHSIDE.
Eapid
Transit Proposed Bipht Into the
Heart of the City.
OPPORTUNITY FOE A BEAUTIFUL PAKE
The rapid growth of Pittsburg, more
especially in the way of pretty residence
suburbs, has resulted in the bringing forth
of many plans for the utilization of every
available foot of ground within a reasonable
radius of the city's center. The talk of
tunneling Boyd's hill leads a thinking
Sonthsider to the belief that by means of
a tunnel the great tract of land back on Mt.
"Washington could be made as easily access
ible to the heart ot the city as Oakland is
at present. The gentleman does not care to
make himself public in the matter until de
velopments come on apace, but he is work
ing earnestly to excite the interest and co
operation of the Southside people, and be
fore very long it is expected that a con
certed movement will be on foot to carry
out the ingenious scheme.
An Outlet for the City's Growth.
The idea, which the gentleman has had in
his mind several years, is to run an sub
terranean passage, 1,800 feet long, under
Mt. "Washington. It would begin at the
bottom of the hill, near the Birmingham
station on the Panhandle railroad, and al
most directly opposite the southern end of
the Smithfield street bridge. The passage
would ascend by an easy grade, coming out
at the intersection of "Woodville and Vir
ginia avenues and Grace, Belonda and
JKersage streets. By this means the outly
ing districts of the Southside back
of Sawmill run would be greatly
benefited. Hundreds of acres of
valuable property could be reached from
the city by a route several miles shorter
and infinitely less arduous than at present.
It would be a light grade for either cable or
electric lines, giving the advantage of rapid
transit to hundreds of residents who cannot
now be reached by such means.
Should the plan work successfully it
would be of great benefit to the people of
Mt. "Washington, Duquesne Heights, Knox
ville, Allentown, Beltzhoover and all the
Southside suburbs. It would open up to
them a quick and easy road to the heart of
Pittsburg. In addition to this it would
draw hundreds of business men and others
whose work necessitates a home within a
few minutes ride of their offices and stores.
Pittsburg would have an outlet even greater
than the East End.
Plenty of Boom for a Park.
Of course such a beautiful suburb could
not be perfect without a park, especially
since during the past year people who knew
parkless Pittsburg have had their eyes
opened to the advantages of puDlic places of
recreation. The gentleman who fathers the
tunnel plan has not forgotten this feature.
His idea is to put a bridge over Sawmill
run at or near the southern end of "Wood
ville avenue and make a grand avenue
across it and to the Washington pike.
Easily accessible by such an avenue are
large tracts of land, 300 or 400 acres of which
could be purchased by the city at a compar
itiv ely low figure. This could be devoted
to park purposes and would lend additional
attraction to an otherwise charming suburb.
Experience has proven in Pittsburg that
the tide of population is not slow to lollow
rapid transit to half rural residence sites.
The plan will be heard from later.
