THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, JT5IDAT, JOLT 24, 189L
FORTUNES IN TAXES
The Enormous Revenues Annually
Turned Into the City and County
Funds by the Big Estates.
HEATT TRIBUTE FOR FACTORIES.
Fancy Prices Paid by Manufacturers for
the Privilege of Living in
Pittsburg.
GLIMPSES AFTHE IKON CErTS-WEALTH.
Is Than Forty Bnriness Finns Drop Half a Mill
ion Into th Coffers.
Before the War of the Rebellion theperson
who paid $100 money tax was rated as a very
solid man, and in those days there was con
siderably inofe at least in proportion of
what might! termed primitive Christian
ity than at mt. Many thousands of
Western Pen - nians had grave doubts
-whether any man 1 a right to accumulate
more than would keen himself and wife out
of the poorhouse in tl eir age and give each
child a "setting-out"' when married. Three
hundred dollar m considered in the rural
districts a fair setting out, many peoplo
holding that the remainder of his earnings
during a life of activity should bo de
voted to the cause of foreign missions.
Some Ohriotians, however, thought a man
might conscientiously defer the claims of
the happy Hottentots until ho had secured
$5,000 for himself and family, as they thought
b tamily could scarce maintain itself In
comfort on less. Beyond that sum, how
ever, they had grave doubts whether any
one had a right to his earnings, as he 'was
the Loi-d's steward. In the rural districts
in thoe days religion occupied people's at
tention rather more than it does now, and
politic rather less.
Old-Time Figures Aro Js'ot In It.
To-day in Pittburg the man who pays
taxes each year equal to what the old-timers
thought a competence for a family is no
'great shakes' financially, and $5,000 a year
tax is paid by many more people than gener
ally supposed. There aro a considerable
number of families that only pay 30 cents
a year direct tax, and the millions required
to run the two cities, boroughs and county
cut heavily into the revenues of some of
the wealthy people. Unless you get
the figures Irom the parties themselves,
however, it is a difficult task to ascertain
the exact amount of each, one tax being
paid to one official at City Hall, another to
another, another to the State, and another
to the county: and then there is i ator tax,
special school tax, occupation tax, mercan
tile license and other State tax, business
tax. etc.. in addition to thaton realty. While
city tax may be 15 mills and county 3 mills,
yon cannot add one-fifth of the former as
county tax, as city assessors may make one
valuation and county assessors another, the
jattcrgeuerally being low er than the former.
It will be thus seen that it would be a day's
work to find out how much one extensive
property on ner, with property scattered in
half the wards in the city, does pay unless
ynu could get the amount from himself, and
lie will not alwa s tell.
Men Who Carry nig Burdens.
In running (r er the list one finds people
who paj from $500 to $5,000 c lty tax on real
estate quite plentifully sprinkled, lawyers',
merchants" and manufacturers" names for
the mot part, but also a considerable num
bei ol people whose wealth is mainly in
hraMand lots. Occasionally you are as
tonished m scanning the lit to find some
people quite wealthy whom yon did not ex
po. -t to lind mj, and others poor whom you
thought to be rich. You are reminded of the
preacher who went to heaven, in a dream,
and had his expectations turned topsy-turvy
when hunting for acquaintances in St.
Pt t-r"fc register, missing conie he had ex-twn-tcd
to find, and finding others he
badn't.
no-of the first large estates that attracts
RttejsUon is. that of Mrs. schenley. Many
people suppose that it pays the largest hind
taA of any m the city, but such is not the
case, as very much of it is in such shape,
owing to the peculiar iew of Mrs Schen
ley, or her adv sers, that it is not
nearly so valuable as it might
easuY and speedily be made. Many
of the leaseholders have not the induce
ment to make improvements that they
mipht have and were the proprietress resid
iuir here. o as to understand the situation
fully it is probable that some portions of
her "vast propertj would be broken up by
Judicious sales so as to enhance the value of
the remainder
A Portion of Mrs. Sohenley's Tax.
William A. Horron A sons' agency pays a
tflty lax on the realty of $54,707 71. Mr. John
Kelly states that this part of the manage
ment entails a vast amount of work, as
leaseholders must pay the taxes and the
city refuses to collect from them, so the
agency must do it. All the taxes, water
Tents, "etc. paid in this estate run well up
toward $100,000, butowinc to its having fewer
buildings it pays less in proportion than the
Denny estate.
The citv realtv tax paid by the Dennv es
state this year is $56.1i7 78.
The aggrecute paid by banks on realty is a
largo sum, but generally not above $2,000
":icb, on city realty. The lollowing amounts
are all citv fealtv tax:

Where the Kevenues Come Trom.
Here are 32 companies, firms and individ-Bal-i
that pay ovei $400,000 city tax on real
estate alone, to say nothing of water rents,
occupation tax. business tax, county tax,
fcrate tax on funds, mortgages, etc., and
mercantile license tax. Truly Caesar exacts
considerable Irom his subjects these days.
The Pennsylvania Itailway ompany, not
inct'ided m the above, appears to pay tax in
almost even, part ot the city, ana in borough-and
townships of the county, as its
ramilicutions appear to be nearly endless.
From the frequency with w hicn it is found
the lVraill levy brings $2,000 tax it is shown
that the number of fairly well-to-do peoplo
In I'iltsburg alone is much larger than most
peovile suppose This amount ot tax repre
tenis a loftune of over $100,000. Then the
S20 (K)0 class, w hose 15-mill city tax amounts
to sat) are -still more frequent, and the fellow
w ho pays $100 city realty tax and who may
tee sately regarded as worth $10,0u0 in realty
and other equivalents of filthy lucre bobs up
go frequently as to become monoton
ous in f skimming the list. Thus
we, in the close of the century,
do not regard a man who each year pays
more tax than was considered a neat fami'lv
ompetence in the middle thereof, as a rich
man he is merely respectable, though at
the same time such a one if prudent and
at philosophical temperament may manage
to extract a vast amount of comfort from
life.
Impossible to Measure the "Wealth.
Though county taxes appear almost a bag
atelle compared with the exactions of the
t'ty, yet many people grow restive when
they contemplate the disparity of valuation.
If you wish for a real hard job just make
an clTort to find out how rich some wealthy
people are. Some of them have invested
largely in securities that are not taxed, and
il you examine the return of some people
you know to find how much money they
im ve at interest andhowmftny moitgages
thov own, you will bo astonished either to
lind that they are not nearly so w ell fixed as
you thought thej- were, or are forgetful
when the assessor is about, or have elastic
consciences.
It should he borne in mind that many of
the wealthy peop.e own property in Allc-
f:heny and throughout the county as well as
n this city in fact, the bulk ol the posses
sions of some is on the Xorthside, which fur
ther complicate estimates. For. if you go to
the County Commissioners' office, j ou must,
to make sure, look through all the wards of
the three cities, Pittsburg. Allegheny and
McKeesport, then through thoBo or the
boroughs and townships, and then you -will
get no record of untaxable securities. You
have a job on hand that would try the
'patience of a title examiner.
A PLOT THAT FAILED.
How a Great Business Arcade for Pitts
burg Was Killed Property Could Bo
Bought, but the leaseholders Would
"ot Give Up.
A crumpled piece of paper found on the
street yesterday told the story of a gigantic
"business plot that failed. It was a move
headed by the L. H. Smith Wooien Ware
Company to build a great business arcade in
Pittsburg, and three large Anns were inter
ested in the matter, ana A. a. iieanwas tne
agent for the syndicate. The agreement,
which was as follows, explains itself:
"We, the undersigned merchants doing
business in the city of Pittsburg, Pa., do
hereby agree by and with the Schenley
estate, or any other party or parties, that if
a plot, block or tract of ground is furnished
to us within the limits of said city, called
the First, Second, Third or Fourth wards,
which we can lease for a term of years, with
the privilege of erecting a certain class of
business warehouses thereon suitable for
our respective businesses, which class is to
be mutually agreed upon, or if the said
Schenley estate, or other party or parties,
will build a class of warehouses suitable for
our purposes, in a style to be agreed upon,
that we will enter into articles of agreement
to rent at a fair rental for a long term
of years or purchase at a fair
price suck block, plot or tract of ground,
with the building thereon, hereDy mutuallj
agreeing to stand by each other, and to act
in union and secrecy for our mutual welfare
and interest for securing the said plot, block
or tract of ground and warehouses, and for
the purpose of unanimity in dealing and
negotiating the said rental or purchase with
the Schenley estate or other party.or parties,
we herebv appoint A. X. Bean our agent for
the purpose of negotiating said rental or pur
chase, subject, however, to our sanction of
anv arrangement that ho may make with
the Schenlev estate, or any other party or
parties, for the rental of such plot, block or
tract of land, or for the purchase of the
said land and buildings as erected thereon
bv the said Schenley estate or other party or
parties. This agreement being given simply
to secure a uniformity of action and secrecy
of operation, and to keep the benefit to be
obtained thereby."
. Mr. Bean was seen Jin order to obtain a
further explanation. Readmitted that such
a plan had been under consideration but had
failed The syndicate had practically made
arrangements to buv all the property on
Fourth street. The hitch came with the at
tempt to get the leases. They ran in terms
from 6 to 20 years and as soon as It was
learned for what reason the surrender was
wanted the valuation of the rights was
boomed until it was found that it would cost
more to buy the leases than to buy the prop
erty. For this reason the project was aban
doned. PULLMAN PASSENGERS BOBBED.
A Thief Goes Through a Carload on the
'Ight Express and Reaps a Harvest.
Most of the occupants of a sleeper on the
night express from Toledo yesterday were
robbed in a systematic and very thorough
manner -while the train was running along
that section of the line. A passenger who
was one of the victims relates that the Pullman-porter
had been overcome with drowsi
ness, or something else, for he slumbered
peacefully during the time the thief was
getting his work in. A Pittsburg lumber
dealer had all his money stolen; jewelry was
taken from the fingers of the women;
-watches were picked up in quick order, and
generally the robber reaped a pretty nice
harvest.
The conductor made an investigation, but
could find no trace of the property or its
present holder. The porter, who slept on
his post, couldn't account for his falling
asleep. It was suggested that some friendly
passenger passed him his flask, but the
porter denies having taken anything.
Coming through Mansfield the conductor
passed around and made an inventory of
each person's losses. The supposition is
that the Pullman Company will reimburse
the passengers.

GONE IS THEIR GOLD.
-"Pittsburg Members of a Fraternal
Organization Left to Whistle
FOR THE DOLLARS THROWN AWAY.
The Police Believe Three Bold Bathers of
Their Clothing.
HAPPENKGS OP A MIDSUMMEE DAT
A-numberofpeoplein this city are figur
ing up their gains and losses as members of
araternal organization with headquarters
in Boston. Twenty-six of them discovered
last night that they were $61 apiece "in the
hole." This is not-the first time that people
in Pittsburg have been caught in such or
ganizations, but they are not satisfied, and a
year ago, when this one was started, they
rushed in with the same eagerness that the
first lot did in the original short term ordor
that came into existence. The majority of
those who were gulled this time are post
office employes. The brilliant promises
made to them by the Deputy Grand Supreme
Organizer was too much for them. The
idea of getting $100 in a year for $40, includ
ing $25 a week in case of sickness, was more
than they could resist, and there -was a grand
rush to get in on the ground floor, so as to
make sure of winning.
Afraid of Losing Their Money.
A good sized lodge was organized here
and W. H. Lehnerand George Gallupe, both
clerks in the postoffice, were elected Presi
dent and Secretary respectively. Matters
have seemed all right until within the past
two 'weeks, when some of the members got
suspicious. The certificates of the local
members expire on August 5, and they had
about completed arrangements for a boat
excursion and banquet, lor the purpose of
having a jollification over their success.
A committee had been appointed to
seenre fireworks and make all the neces
sary arrangements for a good time. The
members will now be compelled to
forego these pleasures, as a telegram was re
ceived by Secretary Gallupe from George F.
Williams, tho attorney who had been em
ployed to inquire into the standing of tho
concern, in which the counsel advised the
Pittsburgers not to send any more money.
The concern is said to have absorbed all its
funds in paying off maturing certificates
and, of course, it this be true, can go no fur
ther. The Result of a Sleeting.
The Pittsburg members held a meeting
last night and made arrangements to in
stitute legal proceedings for the amount
they have paid in, but many are of the
opinion that they have sunk enough, and
that to take any legal steps would only be a
further loss. Those feel the worst who have
changed the song "When My Ship Comes
Over?' to "Waiting for the Ark," and the
boys in the postoffice will be singing
the new song for the next six months. Some
of their number are holding certificates in
another short-term order which as yet has
a semblance of solidity about it, but their
loss has made them rather shaky. One man
holds 25 certificates in one order, and has
paid out over $800. So far none of his certifi
cates have matured, but he says his is the
surest of all.
BWAM THE ALLEGHENY
And Lost ThelrClothes Bather Than Submit
to Being Captured.
Word came to Central station yesterday
afternoon about 4:30 o'clock that five young
men were bathing in the Allegheny river in
full view of the people on the Sixth street
bridge and Duquesne way. Acting Inspector
Coulson'and Detectives Shore and Demmel
started for the scene. They found the yonng
fellows splashing about in the water undis
turbed by the public gaze. They were all
about 20 years of age.
When the detectives arrived there was
consternation among the bathers. One,
whose clothing had been placed with a view
to such emergencies, succeeded in partly
dressing and making his escape in a skin.
Another, who gave his name as Thomas
Cuff, of Pride street, attempted to get away
with his clothes under his arm by running
up the wharf. He was captured at Fourth
street by Detective Demmel, who was the
better sprinter.
The remaining three, seeing two officers
standing guard over their clothes on the
bank, struck out boldly into the river. They
reached the Allegheny bank and just hid
themselves behind some coal barges in time
to see their companion and their clothes dis
appear into the patrol wagon.. Three full
suits, with as many hats and pairs of shoes
await owners at Central station.
TIPPED UP THE PLANK.
The Beauties of Nature Not in It With the
Fun John Wanko Had.
John Wanko, about 14 years of age, wns
arrested last evening on a charge of mali
cious mischief preferred before Alderman
King. The information was made by Mrs.
Annie Warner, of South Tenth street. Mrs
Warner alleged that on Wednesday evening
she was on the river bank at the foot of
South Tenth street. A plank was lying
near, one end of which extended over the
river bank, which was a steep descent of 40
feet to the water's edge. Mrs. Warner sat
down on the end of the plank with her feet
hanging over the bank. The beauties of the
night and the vie n of the rolling waters be
fore her absorbed her attention and she be
came oblivious to her surroundings.
While thus wrapped in thought she did
not see Wanko, who took up his position at
the other end of the plank. The poetry of
the scene had no charms for Wanko and he
uplifted his end of the board. Mis. Warner
slid off the other end and rolled down the
bank into the water. She was severely
scratched and somewhat bruised but man
aged to scramble out of the water. Wanko
disappeared, but the information was made
against him, and he was arrested yesterday,
lie was held for a hearing to-day.
A SPEAK-EASY IN A STABLE.
Hostler Carr Arrested on a Charge of Selling
Beer at the Biding Academy.
James Carr, head hostler at the Neville
Street Riding Academy, was locked up in
Fourteenth ward station yesterday lor a
hearing this morning on a charge of keeping
a disorderly house. Carr has apartments
connected with the stable, and the allega
tions of especial officer aid Lieutenant
Schaffer, who made the ariest, are that Carr
was conducting a speak-easy.
Quite a number of men are employed
around tho establishment, and it is said that
Carr done a lively trade with them. It did
not appear whether tho quality of the water
was bad and Carr may have been induced to
go into'the beer selling business owing to
the heat of the weather and the absence of
saloons in that locality.
BOLD OUT AND LEFT.
Mrs. Stoddard, of McKeesport, Hunting for
Her Missing Husband.
B. G. Stoddard, a McKeesport huckster, has

letter carrier, was taken home yes
terday with one leg amputated. He was at

How a Dream and a Dog Made Life a
Burden.
"Talking about dreams," said a Smithfleld
street business man yesterday. "I have
been lame for a month now, and all on ac
count of a dream experience of mine. At
the time I speak of I went home one
night, and being worn out and weary,
after a hot, busy day, I retired early,
and just as Morpheus was getting In his
work, my neighbor's new dog began to bay
at the moon, and kept it it up till I was very
wide awake and mad.
I was too weary to get up and fling the
proverbial bootjack, but I lay and occupied
my mind devising some means that would
be sufficiently cruel, by which I could get
even with that dog on the morrow but could
think of nothing that possessed that refined
and exquisite cruelty, necessary to satisfy
my feelings.
"At last I fell into a fitful slumber, and
dreamed that I was standing on my porch,
when that dog came along and sat down on
the flagging in front and he began his sere
nade. 1 thought that I let him have the
floor for Just one minute while 1 gloated over
the coming slaughter. Then, with bated
broathand the wild light of vengeance gleam
ing in my eyes.I cautiously sneaked up behind
and, with a mights effort, let go a kick that
should have landed that doe in the middle
of Schenley Park. But it didn't. It landed
me in the middle of the floor, dancing on
ono foot and holding the other in my hands.
That kick, delivered with all the precision,
force and science learned on a hundred hard
fought football fields, had struck the wall
and almost broken two of my toes. 'Twas
but a dream."

The Mayor or a Pennsylvania Town Taken
for a Tough.
A man sat on a bench in front of the
Barge Office in New York City, smoking a
cigar and watching the people, when two
men who were passing slackened their steps
and one of them said:
"I shouldn't have thought they would pass
such a mug as his aboard a steamer."
"He's tough, aud no mistake," replied the
other.
"He looked to be a sneak, but if he's got
sand to commit murder you'll hear of him
in the prisoner's box within a year."
"They ought to send him back at once, and
in irons, at that,"
"Gentlemen!" said tho supposed immi
grant as he rose up, "Allow me to introduce
myself as the Mayor of , Pennsylvania!"
naming a town ot about 15,000 people in the
Keystone State.
They were profuse in their apologies, and
said they didn't mean any suuh thing, of
course, and asked hiralf he'd go out and take
sunthin'; but he sat down again like a man
who had been kicked with both hind feet at
once, and said he didn't care a durned cent

Prominent New Yorkers Witness the
New Plant-Start at Irwin.
THEY PfiONOMCED IT A SUCCESS.
Ifeiv Hope Fills the Heart of the Pennsyl
vania Steel Company.
GREEN BOTTLE BLOWERS ADJOURN
The new plate glassplant at Irwin was
4put In operation yesterday, and the start
'was watched by a large number of people.
A special-car loaded with directors of the
company, stockholders and their friends
was dropped, from the day oxpress from
Xew York and the party was present when
the first casting was made. A special
meeting of the directors had been
called for yesterday purposely, in order
to have them present when the plant was
put in operation and they were everyone
pleased with the success indicated by the
first output.
The First Casting a Success.
The operation of casting was completely
successful, the largest light cast being 123
inches wide by 210 in length.
Tho Pennsylvania factory is one which has
received much notice lately. It Is con
trolled and owned almost entirely by New
York capital. C. W. Poole, President of the
Farmers and Miners' Bank, of Irwin, leaves
that position to become president of the
new glass company. James G. Beemer,
President of Lloyd's Plate Glass Insurance
Company, of New York, is vice-president,
and George Cowan, of New York, is treas
urer. Tho citizens of Irwin are very proud
of their new Industry, and celebrated its
opening last night by a great public demon
stration that was hardly dampened by the
rain. A lot of fire works were set off,
speeches made, and an enthusiastic re
ception given their welcome guests from
the East.
The new company expects to employ
about 500 men when In full running order,
which will add greatly to the industrial
interest of the place.
A Plant Worth Nearly a Million.
The plant, which has been previously
described in these columns in detail, cost
$850,000, and is one of the largest in the world.
The facilities for turning out glass is not
excelledanywhere. The producing capacity
of the' works will be 1,250,000 square leetof
polished plate glass yearly.
The polishing machines with whioh the
plant has been provided are said to bo the
finest in the world. It is claimed for them
that the finest quality of work can bo com
pleted on them in five hours. The company
has 12 ol those machines, each provided with
56 polishing disks, which adds greatly to the
efficiency of the machines.

The Green Bottle Blowers Conclude Their
Annual Session.
The National Green Glass Bottle Blowers'
Association of the United States and Canada
has concluded its labors and adjourned to
meet in Rochester, N. Y., next year. The
only Important business transacted yester
day was the election of officers, as follows:
President, Cyrus Arington, of Masslllon,
O., re-elected; Con esponding and Financial
Secretary, William L.- Taft, of Locbport, N.
Y.; Treasurer, Conrad Auth, of the South
side, re-elected. Executive Board, Joseph

TimHavev, of Pittsburg; J. H. Goss, of St.
Louis; William St. Clair, of Alton, 111.; F. F.
McGiath, of Clyde, N.Y., and William Dun
lap, of Philadelphia.
The action of the bottle blowers in ac
cepting the hospitalities of the Annheuser
Busch Brewing Company, a firm that Is be
ing boycotted fay trades organizations gener
ally, American Federation and Knights of
Labor as well, is bitterly condemned by
labor organizations of this city, and will
doubtless be used as a lever to keep the bot
tle blowers out of the American Federation
should they make application for member
ship In that body. Master Workman Demp
sey, of D. A. 3, in referring to the matter
yesterday, was bitter in his condemnation
of this action, as weie others spoken to.
STBIKEBS IN TB0TJBLE.
The Duquesne Difficulty Gets Some People
in Court.
James Crawford, a Duquesne striker, who
was sent to jail for assault and battery on
Wednesday evening, was released on bail
yesterday for a hearing before Alderman
McMaeters on Monday next. The Informa
tion in this case was made by Julia Wood
scheck, who says that Crawford assaulted
her and kicked a dinner bucket from her
hands that she was taking to her husband,
who was working in the mill at Duquesne.
An information has also been made against
Thomas Jones, another striker. He is ac
cused of assaulting Andrew Barr, another
employe at the mill. Jones was arrested
and entered bail for hearing before Alder
man McMastcrs.
THE MILL BTHNING FULL.
Only a Few Duquesne Strikers Have a For
lorn Hope of Winning.
The different departments of theDuquesne
mill are running lull. Present indications
are that the several late arrests and warrants
issued aro having a wholesome effect on the
most turbulent strikers.
Only a few of tho men are clinging to the
forlorn hope of winning, and their stand Is
caused probably by the fact that they will
not be given work even if thoy applied.
Their cause is hopelessly lost. Blotzer,
Biecn and Darmin, the three men for whom
warrants are out for interfering with and
beating a striker named Matthews, have not
vet been arrested as they have not been at
Duquesne since the affair occurred.
SAID TO BE A DEAD LETTER.
Local Cigar Dealers nave No Fear of an Old
Law Being Enforced.
J. Khodes Miller, the Smithfleld street to
bacconist, said yesterday that ho hnd little
fear of the old law requiring cigars to be
sold from the boxes being enforced.
He said that it had been tried in Buffalo
some time ago and the law was proven a
dead letter. He also heard some time ago
that Mr. Warmcastle had assured the Pitts
burg dealers that they would have no
trouble from that source.

THE FIRM ENCOURAGED.
Bumor That the Steelton Plant Will Bo'
Bunning Full Next Monday The Strik
ers Still Hopeful President Welhe Not
Home Yet.
The Pennsylvania Steel Company is en
couraged by the events of yesterday. It Is
claimed that 1,000 men were in their places,
or twice the number that were at work the
day previous. Superintendent Felton be
lieves the time will soon come when he will
be obliged to refuse applications for work.
An effort will probably be made to start all
the departments of the works next Monday.
The action of Sheriff Keller in appointing
a considerable number of deputies to pre
serve the peace has aroused indignation
among the strikers, who claim that the pre
caution was wholly unnecessary. Burgess
Heagy has requested the saloon keepers of
Steelton to keep their places closed until
Jlonday next. Itumors of desertion from
tho Amalgamated standard are denied by
members of the association, who say they
will certainly win In the present fight,
because of the alleged inability of the steel
company to fill their places.
It was rumored in this city yesterday that
President Weihe had come home and had
spent the day In conference with other
Amalgamated officials, previous to going to
Steelton last night. A diligent search failed
to discover the chief of the Amal
gamated Association and a call at his house
last night brought a statement from Mrs.
Welhe that herhusband had not yet returned
from the West and she did not know when
he would be home.
The officials of tho association are begin
ning to have their bands full. The number
of disputes now pending will require con
siderable time and work to adjust.
A Committee to Investigate.
The Birmingham Traction Company's em
ployes have appointed a committee to inves
tigate the complaint made in regard to the
treatment of the men.
A Slight Advance.
The price of steel billets have taken a
jump from $26 50 to $27 25 and the outlook
for the future is brighter.
Industrial Notes.
The coke trade is falling off some, the
shipments showing a decrease of 103 cars for
the past week.
The Johnson Steel Kail Company.of Johns
town. Pa., have just placedstakcs fora large
machine shop and roll mill, 365x50 "feet, and

Harry Boyd Kills John Myford in a
Prize Fi?ht at Black Diamond.
QUARRELED OVER A SWEETHEART.
The Miner Planted the Fatal BIotv Just
Above the Jugular.
LEFT IU1I LYING DEAD ON THE FIELD
The black eyes of a pretty girl have been
the indirect cause of another murder in
Washington county. Monongahela City is
wild over a great sensation. Harry Boyd has
murdered John Myforcfln a prizefight. Both
were miners. Both loved the same girl. They
quarrelled. There was a'v challenge. They
fought yesterday under the prize ring rules.
Myford f el 1 from a terrific blow in the J ugular
and soon after he expired. Both men lived
at Black Diamond where they courted the
same girl. Each was jealous of the
other. At different times lately they have
quarrelled. On Wednesday evening they
met again and quarreled. A challenge was
sent and both agreed to settle the posses
sion of the maiden's love by a prize ring,con
test. Each chose a second. The ring" was
marked off in a bit of woods near the town,
and yesterday afternoon they commenoed
work. A limited number of spectators was
present.
A Battle to Death.
Both were in excellent form and equally
noted. Each seemed to feel that was to be a
battle to death. When time was called they
leaped Into the ring. They were stripped to
the waist. Their muscles stood out like
cords. The formality 'of shaking hands was
but a cold formality, and then they doggedly
set to work with bare knuckles. For a time
they parried each other's blows, but it was
soon apparent that In point of science Boyd
had the best of it. By a clever feint he suc
ceeded in planting a blow which took 31y
ford's wind for an instant, but the next
moment he was at work and delivered a
stunner on Boyd's left ear that swelled It to
twice its size.
In the second round both men pun
ished each other severely. Both were
bleeding from a dozen wounds. Then
they clinched and fell and the second round
was ended. In the third round the two
miners were covered with blood, but when
called for the fourth they were still anxious
to get at each other.
The Fonrth and Fatal Round.
The fourth was the fatal round. For a
time thoy exchanged heavy blows.
Both men seemed to be growing
weak. The spectators pressed closer. My
ford aimed again at Boyd's stomach, but the
latter jumped aside and before Myford could
lecover himself Boyd's fist dashed past the
guards. A powerful blow was planted in
the jugular. Myford swayed in the air an
Instant, thPn fell like a block of
wood. The seconds rnsned in with
restoratives. Tho fallen pugilist was
rolled over, when, to their horror, they dis
covered he was dying. Restoratives were
applied In vain. lie struggled, looked at his
contestant and was dead.
Realizing the situation Boyd leaped and
ran without waiting to dress. The spec
tators, too, became panic-stricken and
for a time deserted the fatal spot. A
little later a passing miner found the dead
body of his friend. It was thought for a
time that Boyd had fled to Pittshurg, but
later ho returned to Monongahela City and
gave himself np to the authorities. So far
Boyd has refused to make any state
ment. He will not even give the names
of the witnesses to the fight. As soon as the
affair became known, the town went wild
with excitement. The local officers went to
work on the case, and now say they have
the names of some of the spectators to the
fight and will arrest them to-day. The in
quest has been set for this 'afternoon, when
every detail will be investigated. Boyd has
promised to make a full statement at the
inquest.
Death of Daniel C. Hamilton.
Shortly before midnight Daniel C. Hamil
ton, the well-known druggist of Allegheny,
died at his residence on North avenue. Mr.
Hamilton had been 111 for some time, but no
fatal termination of his ailment was antici
pated, and the news of his death will be a
surprise to his many friends. He was 49
yeare old, and leaves a wife and family.
She May Not Be Prosecnted.
The hearing of Mrs. Cameron, nee Birdie
Duff, was yesterday postponed until Satur
day morning. There is little desire now to
prosecute tho case, and it is probable that it
will be settled. The pawnbroker will be
paid In full for the amount advanced on
the diamonds.
