Owens. AhccKvber. He must be cred ited with having created and brought to perfection a really delightful entertain ment. The children, who flitted hither and thither in their i'ancv dresses under the glare of electricity and calciums, were the offspring of well-known families in the two cities. This in itself would have been sufficient to insure a good-si7cd au dience, but when to it is added the induce ment of assisting a worthy institution, the Homeopathic Hospital, it is no wonder that -H9C Tuck Conquers the Ogre. the audience in the grand stand of the park was of fair proportions. Everybody was there to be pleased, and from the first note of the orchestra to the closing chorus there was a ripple of applause that became a thunder of appro val at frequent intervals. Still the cool air kept many away. SELECTION'S FB03I FAVORITE OPERAS. There is a great deal of catchy music in the production. Some of it is selected from favoriti operas and other sources, while a large portion of it is original, hav ing been composed expressly for the spec tacle. Among the characters that will be recognized at once by the student of fairy lore are. JVfc, Jfoth, Titania. Queer of the lluUerflicx, Oberon, Vglio, the Ogre, and others. All are children ex cept IV0, "who i represented by Mr Owens himself. Then are there frogs, gnomes, butterflies r etc, all of whom LxbUe Snancr Zollinger. are attired in suit able costumes, so that it is easy to distinguish them at a glance. Thus the frogs are in green, the crickets in black, the butterflies in lemon, the grass hoppers in green, the gnomes of the lorest in vivid redcloaks that reach nearly to their heels, with peaked hoods, and so on. BEACTIES Ob" A FA IKY FOREST. A large stage, with"a background of forest scenery, and w ith the real turf oi the park in front, makes a beautiful Jairy forest. There are three openings in the set piece through which the characters come upon the Moth, thr 3Iiehevmu ifillrr. stage. The effect is natural, and one can oasliy fnncj that be is In an actual forest. Mr. Owens 1ms brought his little people to a t-tate of perfection hnrdlv to have been ex pected, considering that they are so young. They inarch with a precision not often seen even In the -pectncular productions of tho regular theaters, while in the choruses they raise their voices and respond to the baton of the uiumcI director with the certainty of veterans. There are two acts, In which are told the "toryof the machinations of one JbfA, who steals the scepter oi Tttrmin, the fniry Queen, with the assistance of mifchievous Tuck. At last Tuck is brought to a sense of bis duty and returns tho scepter. Then Moth Is banished, and a certain Ugtto, an ogre, Is dlspo-cdofasall such beings should bo by good fairies. Then there are fairy revels, mid the performance is Drought to a close with a display of lire works. MARCH OF THE rAIRIES. A march of fairies in the second act is woi thy of particular praise.

Now that Pittsburg has seen what a pretty thine the "Fairies' Carnival" is, there fiduxtrtl DUworth js every reason to believe that the grand stand will be filled at the performances to-night and Friday night. Mention must be made of Mr. Henry F, Ecker. who conducted the music and who kept the sinsers and orchestra well in hand, in spite of the disadvantage of rather poor light by which to read his music WILL BREAK THE QUORUM. A New Feature of the Allegheny Street Hallway War The V A. and 51. Said to Be Trying to Force a Consolidation With the riensant Valley. There is considerable expectation as to the outcome of the meeting of Corporations Committee of the Allegheny Councils to morrow night The Pittsburg. Allegheny and Manchester Railroad Company will be once more before that body for ordinances jrranting it right of way over certain streets. These rights are desired to enable the com pany to operate along Ohio street to Mill vale: to obtain an opening to the Xew Brighton road and to seenre rights in Woods run, where a loop is desired. From the statement of a committeeman yesterday it appears that the Pittsburg and Manchester people may not obtain their permit. "it win nc louna tuac tne committee meeting Friday will be no quorumed,'" aid a member yesterday. "The Pleasant Valley Company has a certain amount of influence and will not allow any meeting until enougn oi its men, now out oi town, have returned. In other words, the ordi nance will not be granted. When the mat ter was up before it was conveniently 'no quorumed,' and it will be so again. It is a came of 'freeze out' by one company of the other withn view to a consolidation, and ne gotiations are even now under way to this end." President Dalzell, of the Manchester com pany, wasseen in reference to these reports and said: "As far ns I know, there will be no attempt of the Pleasant Valley people to prevent a quorum being present on Friday. Tho mat ter was postponed last time when a quorum could have been obtained in 15 minutes. I don't believe in gag law, and that method of tryine to shut out a company Is not fair. You say It Is charged by tho Valley people that wo don't want to use these rights of way. Why should we go before Councils and ask for ordinances if we did not? Of course wo mean to use them. Regarding the matter of consolidation, there has been nothing said about It outside of the newspapers. We have made no overtures to the Pleasant Valley nor havo we received any from them. Xo action in this direction could be taken by us without the consentof ourshareholders, and no meeting has been called for that purpose. All I can say Is that we expect to obtain our right of way next Friday." President Henry, of tho Pleasant Valley line, said: "Any statement that this company is In any way trying to Influence the action of Councils or its committees is all nonsense. Wo havo nothing to uo with their action, and if they see fit to grant rights of way to other companies It Is none ot our business. We have no objection to the Manchester company occupying Ohio street. We have not made anv proposition to that company for a consolidation." MADE THEM STAND BACK. An Allegheny Woman With Her Revolver Frljrhtens Three Men. Considerable excitement prevailed In the vicinity of Xo. 152 Ellsworth street, Alle gheny, yesterday morning, when a woman was standing in a doorway leveling a re vol er at three men and threatening to kill anyone of them who dared to enter her house. The woman who is accused of point ing the revolver Is Mrs. Mary Colo, and the men were Tobias Kennedy and Constables Morris and Brlslin, of Alderman McMasters' office. . Kennedy says that Mrs. Cole Is a daughter-in-law of his, and for some time past has acted as guardian of two of his children. Ho wished to have the children under his care, and says he was advised by Attorney Matron to get a constable to go with him to the house and take the children. He ac cepted the lawyer's advice, and instead of taking one constable ne took two. On going to the bouse the men were met by Mrs. Cole, who surmised at once their mission alter seeing Kennedy, nnd it is alleged drew 'a revolver and treatenod to kill Kennedv if he attempted to take the children away. The constables w ere afrnid to interfere, as It Is said she threatened to make tilings lively for them, too. Kennedy did not proceed any further, and went berore Alderman McMastcrs and entered a charge of surety of the peace against Mrs. Cole, who was arrested on Grant street while on her way to consult an at torney about the matter. Was the Grocers', Xot the Union. By an error of the types yesterday in making local allusion to tho petition in court for the dissolution of tho Grocers' Supply and Storage Company it was called the Union Storage Company. It is almost needless to say that the Union Storage Com pany is one of the indispensable institutions .ofthe town: and lnplnco ol dissolvlngls uiini iiiuicusmy us immense uusincss ana resources. As everybody knows of the per manency and pro-peritvof the Union fetor age, the mistake of the types in confound ing it with the Grocers' Supplv and Storage Company is not important, but all tho same may as well be corrected. Postal Clerks' Convention Finished. At the final session of tho Postal CIciks' Association yesterday morning tho portion of the new classification bill relating to second-class offices was adopted. It pro vides that clerks be started on $600 a vear. w ith an increase or $100 every year until $900 Is reached. Resolutions were adopted prior to final adjournment thanking Postmaster McKean, Assistant Postmaster JSdwards, Assistant Custodian Colvlllc, the press of thn city and others who have helped to make the sojourn of the delegates pleasant. In the afternoon the delegates took a trip up tho Monongahela river to Bessemer and In the evening went down the Ohio. The convention meets noxt year In St. Louis. Managers of tho Morganza School. Governor Pattison yesterday appointed tho following members of tho Board of Man agers of the Reform School at Morganza: Isadore Collens, W. B. Lupton, A. F. Keat ing and Charles W. Houston, of Pittsburg; A. G. Happer. Thomas McKennan and John B. Mcllride, Washington, Pa., and John M. Buchanan, Beaver. The Institute Ke-Opcns. The Bishop Bowman Institute reopened yesterday after the recess with an increased attendance. The proSDeets are for a partic ularly good season. The Latin, German nnd French normal classes will be larger than ever before. Ilarconrt Place Seminary. The school for bright and earnest girls' is Harcourt Place Seminary, Gambier, O. Th 3 g&- I 11 I GAS AT FITE CENTS. There Is No Pressing Need of tf Return' to Coal in Pittsburg. ROSE'S PROCESS & SUCCESSFUL. It Opens the Way for the Bootwalter Plan for Fanners. CARNEGIE HAS ADOPTED THE NEW FUEL The multiplicity of confabs held in this city a few days since between Adjutant General Hastings, ex-Governor Beaver and Mr. Cose on one side, and various manu facturers and business men on the other, have aroused fresh interest in the subject of manufactured fuel gas. The Superintendent of the Allegheny Gas Gompany, Robert Young, is quoted against the claims of the fuel gas makers, in that while he admits the possibility of making it at a reasonably cheap rate, yet that arti ficial gas only yields half as much heat as the natural article, but Mr. T. B. Lee's ex periments show that, admitting snch to be the case, the artificial gas would yet cost but half the present price of the natural article. e James K Rose, of Allegheny City, has been experimenting for three years, but having very little cash, has been "unable until lately to push his work. Now Ad jutant General Hastings and several other capitalists have taken hold and the thing is a go. Mr. Lee states that a machine capa ble of making 500,000 feet a day, supplying 20 puddling furnaces, costs 55,000. It is claimed that there is no condensation to make trouble in the pipes. Should the pro cess win its way it will save much altera tion oi houses that have been fitted for the burning of natural gas. It is also said all the tank glass furnaces must be altered if a return is made to coal. METHODS OF MAKING FUEL GAS. luel gas is now made in Pullman, Ilk, by a process by which oil is passed over water. It is pronounced a success nlso. Following is a report of a prolonged test of the Rose process: The Xational Heat and Power Company, of Philadelphia, of which General Hastings is President, has been making experiments during the last two years at the Bellefonto Iron and Xail Company's mill, Bellefonto, Pa., in puddling iron with fuel gas made by the Roe process, and has finally succeeded in solving tho problem satisfactorily- Dur ing the week cndfng August 29 they puddlod 40,a"0 pounds of Iron with a consumption of 359,513 feet of gas. This represents all tho gas burned during the week, including the amount used In keeping the furnace hot be tween turns; the mill only running double turn. This is an average of 19,000 feet to the ton of iron. Some remarkable work was done duriug this run: For Instance, one beat. 1.050 pounds. was puddled with 5,2X0 feet of gas and sev eral heats with less than 8,000 feet each. The cost of gas per 1,000 feot with coal, $1 56, coke, 2 25 per ton and oil 1i cents per crallon. was CK cents. With fuel at Plttsburc prices it can be produced for 5 cents per 1,000 feet; thus bringing the cost of puddling down to $1 per ton. These figures can be verified. Carnogle, Phlpps & Co., Lim., sent T. R. Lee, mechanical engineer, of Pittsburg, to make a thorough investiga tion of the process. After making a test ex tending over a periodof five weeks, he made a favorable report, nnd upon the strength of this they have secured the right to use the Rose process in all of their mills, and have ordered a plant with a capacity of running six puddling furnaces, erected in their Thirty-third street mill at once; upon the completion of which they will give It a thorough test in puddllnjr and heating furnnces withaiew of adopting it for use In all their furnnces. The company claims to mako p fixed gas that can be piped any distance, and with the addition of one and a half gallons of Lima oil to the 1,000 feet to make Illuminating gas of 20 candle-pow er. A CHANCE FOR BOOITWAITER'S FLAX. Things small In themselves are often tho harbingers of an inspiration that changes the face of the world, and people neither dreamers nor enthusiasts, but hard-headed, practical business men of this city take kindly to the idea of Mr. Bookwalter, of Ohio, to alleviate the miseries of farm life nmong the poorer part of the farmers and they see he main step in the accomplish ment of the project in the manufacture of fuel gas. Tho rest will follow by itself and in a short time. It is true a wealthy and ex clusive farmer may choose to live isolated on his broad domain as ho can be independ ent of frlendlv offices, butthevillacesvstem. which Mr. Bookwalter Is developing.'Is tho solution of the problem how to secure com fort in the countrj on moderate means. It would astonish most people to hear tho name of one Pittsbnrger who Is talking the matter up. He Is a man who makes money rapidly and enjoys making it, but yet finds time for the stud)' of social dynamics. It has been a matter of comment for many years that there is more insanity among the tannine population than any other of equal Bizo, and one who has spent any consider able amount of time nmong the average farming population of the United States will readily divine the causes. Uni emitting toil, often poorly cooked food and the almost en tire absence of mental pabulum are the principal ones. Tho fanner who must work himself, his w ife and children almost to the verge of their abtlitv and then sell the best of what Is raised has a harder life than the city bod-carrier, for the latter has at best some Interchange of ideas, whilo hard worked people on larms have next to none, and If of a bilious temperament get to brooding over their comfortless condition and become insane. With tho village system and its fuel gas plant farmers could have all the comforts of city life without its discomforts. As a com plete proof of the advantages of association among the rural classes take the Western Reserve In Ohio. Theiewill be found more rural comfoi t and general Intelligence than in any other section of equal size In tho United States, and the farmer-thinkers of tho Reserve give tone to the entire State and are potent factors in turning it alter nately to the control of the Republican or .Democratic party. PICTURES FROM THE OTHER SIDE. Contrast it with file section known ns tho Vlrginlal Military Reservation in the same State. In the latter the farmers are isolated as in Pennsylvania, and though it has pro duced some of tho ablest and brightest minds known in our history, yet the condi tion of tho mass of the people in comfort nnd Intelligence is much uelow that of tho Reserve, though the soil of the latter is in ferior to thnt of the former. Tho townships on the Reserve are five miles square, and the town center, where are located the postofflcc, stores, blacksmith shops, mills, etc., is but a fraction over three undone-half miles from the residence of the most distant inhabitant of the town ship, and tho roads arc laid ont on town nnd diagonal lines. In addition, farms nre small and usually long and narrow, and each "armor's house is on tho road, the whole forming in effect a continuous villafre, with board walk nnd shade trees alon the roads. Tho people havo circulating libraries, lyceums or debating clubs, and enjoy daily intercourse with each other. The result is that, as a mass, they are the best informed and most cheerful and prosperous people in the Union. Some of tbo advantages of the Bookwalter village scheme were demonstrated 40 years aso within two hours' ride by rail of this cltv. Tho ordinary farmer must find some alleviation of his present ills. He gets but little of the great wealth resulting fiom the present year's crop. Though hay in Pltts mirg is $2 a ton higher than it was last year, yet the; o is no money of consequence In It and it is the only crop raised hcicabouts ex cept carden stuff, and but few make any extra money raising tho latter. An acre of good hay laud is worth $100, nnd two tons are more than an average crop. Two tons are worth de livered, $2L Tho cost of three men and a team to harvest two tons Is $2; baling, $1 50: freight, $2: commission, $1,S0; interest on in vestment, $G; fertilizer, $10, which leaves the farmer out of pocket $1 70 if ho hire the work done- He may raise three tons per acre some years, but two are more than an aver age crop one year with another. INVESTMENTS DO NOT COUNT. Thus it is easily seen that tho' farmer's in vestment must not count in tho business at all. It is truo there aro some farmers who do make money, even In Allegheny county, but they are financiers nnd students as well. The village system would greatly ameliorate this condition, and it wl'.l como intovosue. Hero is where Pittsburg will hare her in nings. The making of fuel gas will mean plants for all present towns and prospective granger aggregations and the extension of the pipe-making industry is one that can only bo faintly conceived. This ispredi- cated, of course, on the assumption that our manufacturers are ready to act promptly at flood tide. The gathering of farmers into centers will insure themaking of good roads, of better still, tramways on which electric cars will carry produce to railway stations. The accomplishment of all this In the next ten years will not be so much of a feat as the change thnt has been produced here abouts since 1850, when there was not a rail way in operation in Western Pennsylvania, and Pittsburg was a villaze and ten miles an hour by steamboat considered rapid transit. CAUSING ENDLESS TALK. Allegheny AH Agog Over Her Financial Situation Controller Brown Says the Snrplns Was Xo Surprise The Sub committee to Make an Investigation. The only topic of discusslon around Alle gheny City Hall yesterday was Chairman Werthcimer's reported discovery that Alle gheny had $100,003 more to her credit than supposed. Mr. Wcrthelmer said last night: "It has been stated that I made the an nouncement as a joke. I am not In the habit of joking, especially on subjects of this kind. There nre $100,000 more in tho treasury than we had snpposod." It was Controller Brown who said that Chairman Werthelmer had made the state ment in a spirit of levity. IIo said further that there was nothlnrr in the nature of a discovery about It, ana denied thnt any blunders had been made, ne said the amount -in the contiugent fund is always $30 000 or $60,000 nbove the estimate. "This," said the Controller, "is because the estimates are based on a valuation of $50,000,000."whlle the actual valuation sometimes runs ns bizh as $J5,000,000." There aro many conflicting opinions in resara to this matter among Councilmcn and city officials, some charging incompe tence and carelessness on the part of the Controller and others that there isno founda tion for the charges. Nothing definite can bo said until the sub-committee meets and investigates the matter. Charles Dahlinger, Chairman of this committee, said last night: "It was reported that my motion to hnve an investigating committee appointed w as lost. That was not the case. The commit tee consisting of Dahlinger, Simon and Schondelmeyer were appointed, nnd will meet somo time next week with the Con troller and others, when It will be deter mined whether there actually is such a Surplus in existence. It is necessary to decido this point at once, as there is a ten dency on the part of the different depart ments to ask increases in their appropria tions on the strength of this "find." Tax Collector Greer said there had doubt less been great carelessness in keeping the city's accounts, but thouzht this thin;: was, not in the nature of a discovery. He ex plained the surplus Just as Controller Brown did. RECEIVING EEP0STS. Allegheny's SlnkiDg Fund Commission Considers Bond Matters. The Allegheny Sinking Fund Commission met last night and considered the reports of Secretary Grler, City Controller Brown and Treasurer MacFerron. The semi-annual re port closed on August 31 last, and showed a balance of $13,995 45 cash on hand. Since tho meeting in March the commission purchased $100,000 worth of municipal bonds and one $1,000 California avenue improvement bond. The total amount of the funds in their hands is $363,500. which together with the cash, gives them $377,495 45. Secretary Grier's report" contained the de tailed account of all the bonds bandied since the creation of the commission in 1880. In that time the receipts were $327,115 73, and the expenses in purchasing and renewing bonds were $813,120 23, leaving a balance on hand of $13,995 15, corresponding exaotly with the Treasurer's report: $79 063 90 was received In Interost and $05,045 60 was ex pended. During tho meeting Collector Grier and Mr. McKirdy had some words, the former intimating that McKirdy had given information to the newspapers re garding the financial muddle. This was de nied. Sir. Grier said It was not tnio that he had denied access to his books when the audit was being made. Will Go to a Higher Court. Sixteen Washington county milk dealers were given a hearing by Alderman Succop for selling watered milk on informa tion of Meat and Milk Inspector McCurch eon and were fined $10 and costs each. Two of them, W. M. Moorhead and J. R. Mc Blrney, refused to pay the fine and were dis missed. This has raised the ire of the other 14 and the3r hnve employed Attorney J. M. Braden, ot Washington county, and will carry their case to court and endeavor to get their money back. The Mt. Oliver Stockholders Are Kicking. Several of the stockholders of the Mt. Oliver Incline Plane Company who were on the minority side in the deal which trans fered the property to the Birmingham Traction Company, have decided to test the legalltv of the transfer. Messrs. Fred Hampe, John Nussor, Sr., and Willinm Doyle will at once, through their attorney, file a bill in equity to compel the Birmingham Traction Company people to show their ability to pay the 6 per cent interost guaranteed by them.

WOMEN LOSE THEIR POCKETBOOKS. Allegheny Schools Will' Be Admitted on Monday and Tuesday. SOME FEATURES OP THE BIG SHOW Yesterday was the last children's day for the pupils of the Pittsburg public schools at the Exposition. There was a large at tendance of the little ones, and they en joyed the varied entertainments as only children can. Before the gates opened in the morning there were scores of eager boys and girls waiting for the moment when they should be admitted to the wonders within, and as soon as they were inside they swarmed over the two great halls like bees. It was hard work to get them out at 4 o'clock, Prof. Morrow, City Superintendent of Allegheny, has made arrangements to bring the school children of that city to the Ex position next Monday and Tuesday. Tues day will also bo veterans' day. On that oc casion all the Grand Army men are re quested to attend in uniform, so that the military character of the day may bo sus tained in every possible way. Battery B will be there and go through a sword drill at ?30r. sr. The veterans will assist in "The Battle of Gettysburg." Tho muslo on that night will consist of national airs. Thetebasbeena gicat deal of careless ness on tue part oi women who visit tne x position with regard to their pocketbooks. 'Prn wrtmpn ftnfrt tlinf. tliA.- linrl hM rnlr. Two women said that thev had their nock- ets picked of their pocketbooks. otbooks. One of them was found soon afterward at a stand where the owner had made some purchases and had laid her pocketbook down. It had been picked up by a watchman, who took it to the office, where it was returned to the owner. In nearly every case in which there has been a complaint of pocket picking It has been shevn that tho owner laid her prop erty down in some such careless way. A sharp watch is being kept for thieves. The management only ask visitors to second them in their efforts to protect them by not carryine large sums of money with them and making sure tnat they do not leave their pocketbooks on seats and places where dishonest people can easily take them. Lost children are taken care of by tho management, but it is better for parents to keep their own eyes on their offspring, so as to save the authorities trouble and the fathers and mothers agony of mind, even temporarily. The Mellor Jt Hoene Exposition. Although the firm of Mellor & Hoene nre not exhibiting this year down nt the "Point," thoy are having a tremendous display at the Palace of Music which goes on perpetually. It Is a glorious, rousing demonstration of all that is best and most desirable In musical instruments, and an exhaustive examina tion will thoroughly repay tho visitor. First class, splendid, full-toned, durable pianos, delicious organs for chapels, churches and homes, nnd those singular and delightful Aoollans that do such surprising satisfactory things Just as though they were whole or chestras. Mellor & Hoene have, by their consistent methods, built up a trade (they have been established ever since 1S31) that is stupendous, and in every direction 3'ou encounter the pianos, organs and Aeolians sold by them, and tho business keeps grow ing so out of all proportions, that even with their elegant, spacious wareroom it is only by tho most careful arrangement that tho musical Instruments can be accommodated. Easy terms and modes of payment are the order of this firm to pui chasers of the cele brated Hardman, Krakauer, A. B. Chase and Harrington pianos, the organs and the inim itable Aeolians. KOSENB VTJJI & CO., 610 to S18 Market Street. "Have you seen the other side?" is a legend upon a card which greets tho eyes of visit ors who have finally managed to get near enough to this exhibit to enjoy it; the query has the effect of exciting men and women alike, not to omit the children, and afresh the struggle begins, for this display they must and will see at all hazards, nnd the confusion may be imagined; but all seem to feel repaid for tho extra effort in having ab solutely won the right to admire this grand display, where everything is of the newest mode, the quality of finest, and the subjects Just what people are obliged to know about.

They Petition Agent Chlldcrs With Re gard to Alleged Discrimination. At the meeting of the General Freight Committee of the Central TrafHo Associa tion to be held to-morrow in Chicago, C. C. E. Childers, the local Joint agent, and J. H. Pake, its agent at Buffalo, will be present to explain the workings of the inter State law as it affects the live stock trade here. The East Liberty dealers charge thoy are being discrim inated against by having to payahlghpr freight rate than other buyers. The estab lished rule is that when a car is consigned th'ough from a Western point to the East on a through rate this rate holds only if the stock does not change hands or sold nt an intermediate point. If it changes hands, then local rates In and ont are enforced. It is charged that an infringement of this rule Is permitted at Indianapolis. It Is said that shippers and dealers get the benefit of the through rate when tho stock comes both east and west within 100 miles of Indianapo lis. This gives them an advantage of nearly 5 per cent on the stock. The local dealers have addressed a petition to Mr. Childers on the subject. A Heavy Fog Causes a Wreck.

UNEARTHING A PLOT To Get Eid of Several Wealthy Chinamen in Pittsburg. TEE TANG HELD FOR COURT TRIAL. Celestials All Eicited Over a Sensation In Their Circle. TWO SUITS AGAIKST A COUNTRTMAN Pittsburg Chinamen are wagging their tongues at a lively rate over the biggest sen sation that has turned up in their circle for years. Alderman McJIaster's office was crowded to suffocation at 4 o'clock yester day afternoon by Chinamen who were in terested, or pretended to be, in the suits of Yee Chin against YeeTang for surety of the peace, and Ching Tang against YeeTang for false pretense. These suits are said to have resulted from a controversy over-the two raids made recently by tho police on Chinese gambling houses on Grant street, but at the hearings there was no testimony to show that they had any such connection. Yee Tang is a Soutbside laundryman, and his place of business is at 309 Carson street. He has the appearance of being educated, dresses in the American style, and is prom inent as a Christian leader among the Chi nese. The case of surety of the peace against him was heard first. Yee Chin, the prosecutor, said while on tho stand that about two weeks ago Chin Wee told him that be called on Yee Tang, when the latter (YeeTang) wanted to have assistance in getting rid of some or Pittsburg's richest Celestials, so thev could get a fortune to go back to China. Yee Chin says he was told that he was to be gotten rid of first, and that made him very uneasy. He wan so worked up over it that he has been a victim of in somnia ever since. Chin-Wee was placed on the stand next. H said ho called on Yee Tang three weeks ago, when he proposed to him a plan of get ting rich fast. He said Yee Tang wanted him to help kill Yee Chin so thev could get his money. Yee Tang wanted him to et three or four or his friends, go to Yee Chin's store on the pretense of wanting to buy some goods, and while there watch their chance and kill him. Chin Weo says such a proposal frightened him so that he concluded to tell Y'ee Chin, and tho result was the suit. Alderman Mc Masters decided the case against tho de fendant and hold him for trial at conrt. In the false pretense case Ching Tang, the Srosecutor, was the first witness examined, e said he was a stranger in Pittsburg and recently opened a store on Grant street and shortly after that Yee Tang called on him and demanded $5 which be said was to pay for a license glvinp him the privilege to transact business. Ho at firstrefused to pay the money, but on being told that all the "other boys" were paying a like sum, ho thought it all right, paid the $5 and made an entry In his book. On a cross-examination Tang produepdhis book, and through inter- ?retersitwas shown that $5 had been -paid ee Tang on August 10 last. Two other witnesses. Tee Tlnor nnd Vnn Yon, were sworn and they also testified to having paid Y'ee Tang sums of money which they thought were for business. On this testimony the case was left to Alderman McMasters who held the defendant under $500 ball for trial at court. Corns positively cured with Daisy Corn Cure.
