Councils Will Have to Consider the In creased Indebtedness Question Next Monday Chief Elliot Will Report His Sclectl in of a Poor Farm. Councils will meet in regular session Mon day afternoon for the first time after the sum mer vacation. The meeting will be an impor tant one, as considerable business has accu mulated duringthe past few weeks. Most important ot all1 will be the consideration of the ordlnanco providing for a $2 000,000 in crease in the bonded indebtedness of the city. The ordinance makes provision for a popular vote on the question, as required by law. There seems to be little doubt about its passage, as it Is generally conceded that money to pay contracts made under tho de funct street acts i necessary, and either the public debt or next year's nnllage must be raised to meet this need. Almost every Councilman is opposed to increasing tho tax rate and favors the bond plan. The only objection to the ordinance so far has been that it does not specify the time the bonds are to run or the interest to bo paid on them. Those who drew It up say this is a later consideration and can be decided after the main question of increas ing the debt has been settled. But the ordi nance will probably meet with some opposi tion on this point. Controller Morrow strongly favors the bond plan and is confi dent will be adopted with few objections. Another feature of tho meeting will be Chief Elliot's report on tne new Poor Farm. The difficulty of over a vear's duration con cerning the purchase of a farm will, in all probability, be settled Monday. The last ordinance on this question authorized the Chief of the Department of Charities to in spect the farms offered and select the one best suited in bis estimation. Chief Elliot has made hischoiceandhas his report ready for Councils. Prior to its presentation to those bodies ho declines to reveal Its con tents. Councils will have to approve or dis approve of the farm chosen, and then the matter will go to tho Mayor, who has final action on it. The ttto street railway ordinances one for taxing cars and the other relating to stopping before crossing Intersecting lines were expected to come up at this meeting, but the Committee on Public Safety, w hich has them in charge, will not be able to act on them prior to the meeting. HE STOLE TWO WATCHES. The Faithlessness of a Faith Convert Re pealed by Detective Bendel. Charles 11. Weeks, a student at the Beth any Home College, was arrested yesterday afternoon by Detective Bendel for robDlng a fellow student of two watches. Weeks came from Chicago about two weeks ago, representing himself as an ex-officer in the Salvation Army, and a convert to the belief of the Faith Cnrists. lie was without money, but was desirous of getting an education in the new faith that would enable him to go out and bring in other converts. He was bright, intelligent, and apparently earnest, and his protestations had such effect that he was given a chance ts follow the course he professed to desire, giving in return for the advantages allowed his service as assistant gardener about the place. About noon yesterday Mr. Landsberg, a student at the Home, went into the bathroom to bathe, leaving his coat and vest containing a valuable gold natch and chain and a good silver watch hanging In his room. When he re turned the watches and chain were missing. So ias Week. The police were notified. Detective Bendel was put on tho caso. Innn hour alter the theft Weeks was In Central station, having been captured trying to pawn the stolen goods. Gas Enough for Several Tearj. S. B. Kennedy, bookkeeper for the Alle gheny Heating Company, states that if peo ple would burn natural gas so as to get the full benefit of it, they would find it cheaper even at 25 cents a thousand than coal. After an exhaustive study of the subject, Mr. Ken nedy states that not to eicoed 10 per cent of the gas that has been produced has been realized. He predicts that unless super seded by manufactured fuel gaB, the natural article will supply a large part of tho domes tic consumption for two or three year to come. He has no doubt that artificial fuel gas will accomplish all claimed for it, but says the greatest difficulty now to be overcome is the forcing of it through the pipes for a con siderable distance, and this may make necessary a considerable number of plants. Accused of Bobbing a Friend. Pastor Jordon, colored, of No. 211 Grant avenue, Allegheny, was arrested In this city by Detective Robinson yestordaj' on a charge of larceny from tho person. J. C. Smith, a steamboat engineer, is the prose cutor. He claims that he came to tho city a weekaqo and met Jordon. who at one time worked on tho steamboat with him. Smith being a stranger in the town Jordon piloted him around and they drank considerably at the white man's oxpehse. After this, he al leges, Jordon took him to a room on Wylio avenue and robbed him of $G5. An information has been cnteied against Jordon, who de nies the accusation. Little Patrick Cnrley Missing. Patrick Cnrley, 10 years old, whose parents reside at 22 Second street, has been missing since noon on Wednesday, and all efforts to locate Mm since then have been unsuccess ful. The parents are neatly distracted, and are fearful that tho bov went to the river and was drow lied. The missing lad woie a striped waist, dark knee pantaloons and a dark soft hat. Snap Shots at City Affairs. The Birmingham electric cars are being supplied with a no airbrake. Yesterday car No. 1 was equipped with the airbrake of the Genett pattern and placed on the road the first time. The brake came up to all re quirements, and it is probable all cars will befitted with them. Folicb ScrEuisTEsnKKT Weir nas issued, an order prohibiting the riding of bicycles on the s'dewalks. Under tho law they have the same privileges as other vehicles and no more. Violators of the order will be subject to arrest. The seventeenth anniversary of themar- riage of 31r. and Mrs. Beck was celebrated Inst evening at their homo, 72 Magee street. There wore a large number of guests pres ent and many handsome presents wcro re ceived. The Board of Viewers yesterday took tes timony on the benefits and damages on tho grading, paving and curbing of Webster avenue, nnd also on tho Height's run sewer. TirE celebrated evangelist, Eev. II. C. Mc Bnde, of the "ew York M. K. Conference, will conduct tho resnlar weekly union holi ness meeting at Liberty Street M. E. Church this evening. Das. McCrkahy and Moyer were called to the Twelfth ward police station to care for a Pole who was dvihs from an unknown rtu. cise. The doctors could not make out the case. The Humane Society yesterday entered a clianrc of cruelty usrainst Mrs. O'Hum. of rr iFoi ty-fifth street, for abusing her grand Mlil w OH Tanks at Gregg. J. B. Maltland, superintendent of tho transit lines of the Standard Oil Company, w as at the St. James Hotel last night with a party of men. He said he was going out to day to begin the construction of a number of receiving tanks at Gregg in the McDonald field. It was deeided.he said, to build another receiving station at that point. He could not say how many tanks would be built. That n ould depend on the quality of oil flowing. The yk Id was so large now as to necessitate the construction of these new tanks. They would be of various sizes, ranging from 10,000 to 40,000 gallons capacity. The largest would be about 31 feet high and 95 feet in diameter. Very Large Manufactories, The Monougahela Valley, with its natural gas field and immense deposits of coal, with a navigable river and several lines of rail- " " ,T1 roads, is much better adapted for nianu- iacturing than anywhere else: therefore it meuts as the safe works would locate there. These works cover more than five acres of ground, and will have their buildings com pleted this fall. The members of a steel lactory are now negotiating for 15 acres upon which to build a large plant. Such are the future prospects of tne new town of Blaine. BELGIUM'S PROGRESS. Westinghouse's -Patent to Be Intro duced on All Her Kailwajs. VOTE ON GLASSWOMERS' SCALE. Miss O'Eeilly Will Investigate Local Work ing Girls' Clubs. MISCELLANEOUS INDUSTRIAL ITEMS The importance of the mission of Armand Stevart, who is here looking into certain industrial matters, came to light through the following cablegram received by The DisrATCH from Brussells last night: "Prof. Armand Stevart has beeu sent to America to make inquiries into the merits of railroad devices with a view to have them adopted by the Government, which controls the railroad system of Belgium. He will not return for some months." Prof. Stevart has been here for nearly ten days. There was a sort of a mystery about his presence here, for when he was seen he was rather reticent regarding the object of his visit The above cable gram makes the matter clear. Soon after his arrival in this city, Prof. Stevart called at the office of the Wcstinghouse Company. Mr. George Westinghouse was in the East, but when the nature of the gentle man's business was made known, a telegram was immediately sent to him ask ing him to come to Pittsburg. Yesterday was fired as the date for the meeting and Mr. Westinghouse arrived in his private car. Bo wont directly to his office where ho was met by Prof. Stevart, and a conference lasting for several hours followed. Prof. Stevart could not be found, but Mr. West inghouse was communicated with over tho telephone last night. He confirmed the re port that the prospects were bright for making arrangements to supply the Belgian Government with his well-known Union switch and signal system, but would say nothing further. A portion of yesterday was also spent in specting the Pittsburg Locomotive Works. It is understood he lntenttB to leave for Chi cago to-night for tho purpose of making further investigations regarding matters placed in his charge before leaving home. To-day he will go out the Panhandle road and inspect the condition of the miners in that district. Prof. Stevart was seen at the Duquesne Hotel at 2 o'clock this morning. He said that while he was Chief Engineer ot the Kailroad Department of Belgium he recommended the adoption of the Westing house airbrake, which has been in use there for several years. His Government has great faith in tho Westinghouse.patents and tho present plan Is to perfect the rail road system by introducing all the latest signal devices. A BEMAEKABLE SHOWING. Kailroad Employes' Belief Association Pays Out Big Money. The seoond annual report ot tho Volun tary Belief Department of the Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburg is nqw being pre pared to be issued to the members. It shows that the organization has made some rapid progress since it was instituted. The total receipts, including $32,793 23 on hand nt last report, wore $259,435 48, which in cludes $1,200 contributed by the railroad company to pay benefits to members whose period of sickness or disablement exceeded o2 weeks; there being no provision in the regulations of the relief lund for. paying benefits lor a greater period than one year. The disbursements during tho year were $24',flS0 45, accounted for as follows: Death Accident, $27,250: on death, nat ural, $79 810. Disablement benefits Acci dent, $30,413 50; disablement benefits, sick ness, $79,620 20. Special surgical attendance and company relief, $3,037 95. To which is to be added $25,656 on account of unpaid benefit orders issued and not presented, un adjusted liabilities and disablements con tinuing aftor June 30, leaving an estimated deficiency at cloe of year of $23 396 42, w hich will be made good by the railroad company, which has guaranteed to meet any de ficiency In the fund. "The effects of la grippe,'" says the re port, "have been most serious, and but for this unforseen contingency there would have been an estimated balance of $24,000 on band." The disbursements noted do not in clude $41,178 96 for salaries, printing, etc., as this whole amount was paid from the treas uriesoftbe railroad companies tho funds contributed by the members, according to the regulations, being paid for benefits only: There were 2,451 applications lor member ship during the year and 150 deaths; 86 appli cants tailed to pass a medical examination. The number of deaths w as 13 to 1,000 and the disablements averaged 42 2-10 to 1,000. The total membersbln is 11,666. The accidental deaths during the year were 37, natural deaths 111, disablements from accident 2,373. sickness 4,10$. For these 10,590 benefit orders were sent out. THEIB FIBST BIG C0KTBACT. The New Builders' .Exchange Beginning to Get Its Wort: In. The new Builders' Exchange has secured the contract for putting an additional story on W. G. Johnston's building, at the corner of Penn nvenue and Ninth street. It is Just across the alley from the Renshaw Building in 'which the Builders' Exchange is located. The striking bricklayers arc feeling rather merry, as a result of the suit against the Pittsburg Terra Cotta Company for alleged violation of the alien contract labor law. The union worked np the evidence, even going so far as to send a man to Canada to collect testimony. The strike has now broken the record of building trades strikes in Pittsburg; having been on now for over four months. There seems to be considerable diversity of opinion as to the number of men now employed and the amount of brick laid In a day. Agent O'Brien, in answer to a recent interview of C. G. Dixon, said yesterday: "Mr. Dixon sa3-s there are 600 men lay ing 1,500,000 bricks a day.' Brick cost $7 50 a thousand, and are laid at an expense of $6 50. At his figures each man must lav 2,500 bricks a day. This would cost, counting the regu lar wdges of all the men involved, $29 37. The difference in the actual cost and the price charged by contractors would be about $6. The clear profit to contractors on tho bricklayers would amount to between $30 and $40 a week for each man employed." W0EKIKG GIBLS' CLUBS. Miss O'lteilly Will Look Into the Local Or ganization Before Leaving. Miss O'Reilly, the Deputy Factory Inspec tor, had a busy day yesterday. Aside from her regular work of inspections, which was continued in thq central portion of the city, the lady had several communications from local parties interested in working girls' clubs, a subject she expects to give some at tention before leaving the city. Miss O'lteilly was an honorary guest at the last convention of Working Girls' Clubs in New York City and noted tho absence of any rep resentation from Western Pennsylvania. She has made some inquiry into the work ings of these clubs, and expects to give the managers of the local organization some valuable information before leaving the city. It will require nearly three weeks to com plete her work hpre. Miss O'Reilly has not visyed any of the mercantile establish ments, of which there are a great many that will come under her jurisdiction. Sho'heard indirectly last night from Superintendent Wntchom who sailed for America from London last Saturday. She expects Mr. Watehorn will be In Pittsburg next week. She says there is absolutely no truth in the rumored effort to havo the Superintendent deposed. THE VOTE HAS BEEN TAKEN. Window Glass Workers Will Hold an Im portant Meeting To-Night. There was some thought that matters would be arranged so that the window glass factories would resume operations by the 15th of the present month. That date is close at hand and there arc no Indications of a nearer approach to a settlement than there wero n week ago. L. A. 300 holds an im portant meeting to-night which may possi bly settle the matter. Immediately after the adjournment of the last unsuccessful conference President Ebeihardt sent a cir cular to all tho preceptories instructing them to vote on tho question of withdraw ing or holding out tor the advance for tho "gatherers." That vote has been taken, and the result ofitwillbe announced at tho meeting of L. A. 800 to-night. While it is believed the vote is one that will lead to an amicable settlement of the question, the exact vote will not be made public until it is placed in the hands of tho Conference Committee, and it in turn has another meeting with the manufactuiors. It is likely a conference will be arranged for early next week, but what the outcome will be is hard to predict. AH. FAV0BED THE STRIKE. Secretary Unrsne, ot the Potters, Talks About the Ohio Trouble. Charles Dargne, the General Secretary of tho National Brotherhood of Operative Pot ters, takes exceptions to the statement made in a local, paper that the strike at Steubenvillo was entered into against the protests of a number of the potters. Speaking of the matter yesterday he said: "Every member (67 of them) was in favor of the strike, and every one of them came out ana remain out to this day. The statement that during the spring the Eastern potters declared toe strike and boycott of the Steu benvillo pottery off is also an error, as neither the Eastern or Western potters have ever declared tho strike or boycott off. The other statement that the Eastern pot ters belong to the K. of L. and are at war with the Western potters, who beiong to the Potters' Association, is also partly wrong, for while they do belong to separate organizations, they are not at war or quarreling with each other. The story that to keep even with the Eastern potters, the Western Association appointed a com mittee to settle the strike and declare the boycott off at Stoubenville and Flndlay Is false, as there It no war or quarrel to get even tor. and aside trom mat it wonia do poor policy to sacrifice a nnion principle in ordor to 'get even.' The committee ap pointed has not the power to settle the trouble, and they cannot do so; they are authorized to confer with the firms, but the result of thPlr conference mnst be reported back to tho Executive Counoll for acceptance or rejection. In regard to the union potters not asking for the discharge of the non-union, that will be considered by the firm and the committee, but the terms upon which it is hoped the trouble will be settled are yet un known, as no conference has yet been held. v nue tne . a. or o. ir. is wining to oonceue something. It Is alo expected that the firms will do the same. It is not to be supposed that after remaining out for two years and a half, and all the members working else where, that the brotherhood will sacrifice everything," The Output Increasing. The current blast furnace report shows that the make is 7,200 tons a week more, as compared with the same period last year. Thus far during the last six months of the year 1891 over production has been as great as during the corresponding months oi 1893, when our production was the greatest in our history. We have been producing since July 1, 1891, at the rate of 172.J27 tons a week. For a corresponding period in 1S90 the rate was 170,S.)'2 tons a week. Stocks aie conse quently increasing. Against the Newsboys' Cnlon. Superintendent Druitt, of the Newsboys' Home, is trying to break up the new organ ization of newsboys and bootblacks, because ho says the little fellows were led into it through misrepresentations. He says the boys were made to believe that it was neces sary for them to secure badges in order to be permitted to sell papers on the streets, and the police officials never issued any such orders. President Itae Went Home. President Bae, of the United Mine Work ers of America, left for home yesterday. He will be back in a few days, when a series of meetings will be held in various sections or Districts nnder the jurisdiction of John Cos tello. VISITING H0ETHSKU POSTS. Secretary of War Proctor Bound West on an Annnal Inspection. Secretary of War Proctor passed through the city yesterday on his annual tour of in spection of Northern and Northwestern posts. Ho was accompanied by Quarter master General H. N. Batchclder, M. T. Schwan, of the Washington Arsenal; Lieu tenant Colonel W. F. Drum, Twelfth Infan try, commanding Fort Yates; Lieutenant Harry Howard, son ot General O. O. Howard; Frank Partridge, private secretary; Fletcher Proctor, son of the Secretary of War, and Governor C. S. Page, of Vermont, and his son. The Governor aocompanies the party as an Invited guest. Speaking of the Indian question the War Secretary said he would visit the scene of the late Indian outbreak and would, person ally Investigate the condition of the Sioux. Ho said bis reports showed that the recruit ing of Indians Into the army was a decided success. Six companies had already been organized from among the rebellious In dians. They were naturally warlike and the atmosphere of the stations pleased them. They were now more contented than when lingering around the agencies waiting for blankets and supplies. Secretary Proctor said it was untrue be had ordered the dls bandment of several Southern posts. He said the minimum had now been reached and there would not be any retrenchment in this direction, as the department neeaed all the posts for the proper training of its sol diers. GB0WIKG VEEY INTEBESTIHQ. A Jr. O. V. A. M. Question That- Will Loom tip Next Week. Considerable agitation is going on at pres ent among the members bf the Jr. O. U. A. M. over the coming session of the State Council. The statement published yesterday to the effect that all the representatives to the National Council are to bo asked to re sign, stirred up a heap of excitement. These representatives will be asked to resign, but it will not be because the National Council passed a resolution reducing the representa tion of State councils. At the last session of the State Council of Pennsylvania the representatives to the National Council were instructed to advo cate the passage of a law depriving Past State Councilors a voico and vote In the Na tional Council. This, it is claimed by those who want to see the present representatives deposed, they did not do, while the dele gates themselves claim they did mako tho attempt, but were overcome by the rep resentatives from other States. The friends of the present representatives to the Na tional Council claim that the move tp have them rosign is engendered by members of the State Conncil who want to go to the Na tional Council themselves. The outlook for lively times nt Uniontown next week begin to appear favorable. HELD TO BY THE LAW. Joiix Kelly and Daniel Herinqton, who are accused of breaking Into Mrs. Mary Downey's store. On South Twenty-seventh street and stealing a lot of cigars and cigar ettes, were given a hearing by Alderman Caldwell last evening and remanded to jalL for trial at Court in default of $300 bail each.

WBRTHEIHER WAS NOT FOOLING. Controller Brown Says He Took Chiefs Re ports for Granted. PEATUEES OP THE STREET CAR FIGHT Allegheny citizens have found that there was much more smoke than fire in the re ported discovery of 5100,000 of a surplus. As stated in The Dispatch yesterday it has been well known for some time that the receipts this year would be largely in excess of the estimates. In the appropriations ordinance the esti mated revenue from city taxes was $550,200. There has already been collected J430.000 and four months yet to hear from. The de linquent tax returns show 539,403 and the estimate in the appropriation was $50,000. The collections here will exceed the esti mate at least $10,000. One hundred and ninety thousand dollars were the estimated receipts from water rents. Tne Water As sessor's returns show j levy of $264,000. From the Poor tax there has been received 543,000. The estimate for the year was for 546,350 and so with many others. Controller Brown said last night that there had been no surprise manifested by any one in a position to know, ats the fact that the city was in such good financial con dition. "Three years ago," said the Controller, "there was found to be a deficiency, and bonds were issued and the millage raised to pay off the debt and start in square with the world as a second class city. This year, as already explained, the estimates were based on a valuation of about 550,000,000, and as was expected the actual assessed valuation has exceeded that sum. In starting out under the new regime it was determined that each department must keep within its appropriation, and in any event no trans fers should be made until the appropriation should be exhausted. For political capital the appropriations were cut down to very insufficient figures, especially in the De partment of Public Works. WERTIIEIMEIt SQUEEZED THE COIN. "Chairman Wertheimer, of the Finance Committee," he continued, "has been careful to keep down expenses to the . limit. There have recently been demands from different departments for an increase or transfer from the con tingent fund. Mr. Wertheimer called on me some time ago for a statement of tho finan cial condition of the city, so that he could tell just how we stood. I told htm that we were hi excellent shape. He made a de tailed examination and that there could safely be some increase made In certain ap propriations, he saidthatltwouldbobestto say nothing about the surplus at the time as there would be a grab made from all sides to secure a slice of it. An ordinance was prepared for a transfer to the Bureau of Water, which was badly in need of money, and at the meeting tho other night the Chairman assured the Finance Committee that there was plentv of money, in fact, there was nearly $100,000 more than he had thought there would be at the beginning of the year. This statement was understood by some persons to be the discovery made by Mr. AVertheimer, when, In fact, there was noth ing startling about it, nor did he intend to convey any such impression." The Controller was asked about the abuses and the carelessness existing in some of the departments. He said that there was no doubt that such was the case, but that it was a mistake to say that he was required by 'law to personally audit every report handed in. BROWJf TOOK IT AM, FOB GRANTED. He said when the head of a department made oath to the accuracy of his returns he took it for granted that they were correct. In case any complaint was made or question raised by anyone it was his duty and his custom to mate a thorough investigation. Mr. Wertheimer was seen nnd explained the matter in much the same way as Con troller Brown had done. He said that there had been no Intimation on his part that any great discovery had been made. A lively time is anticipated at the meeting of tho Committee "on Corporations to-night, as there will be a trial ot strength between the Pittsnurg, Allegheny and Manchester and the Pleasant Valley Traction Com panies. It has been stated that the Pleasant Valley people prevented a quorum at the fast meet ing, because of the absence of Chairman Kennedy, of Select Council, and Colonel Stone and William Graham, of the Pleasant Valley. As these gentlemen are now on the ground- there will doubtless be a meeting, at which the relative strength of the rival roads will bo determined. If the wishes or the citizens of Manchester and Lower Allegheny were consulted the P., A. & M. would evidently have the call. There was another largely attended meeting of the Citizens of tho Ninth, Tenth and Eleventh wards last night at Morris Hall. S. P. Harbison, Chairman, stated the object of the meeting to be the securing of rapid transit for their part of the city, A. M. NeCDer. attornov for the rittsburir. Allegheny and Manchester Traction Com pany, who, with John Dalzell and Georgo B. mil, officials of tho company, was present, outlined tho intentions of the Pittsburg, Allegheny and Manchester Company. He said that the different railways seeking rights from Councils are a part of a system of railways intended to develop that end of Allegheny, especially down the New Brighton road. It comprised an extension of the. Union line from its present terminus br way of Woods' Run avenue, and also by way ot McClure avenno, and to get a loop by means of the Bellevue and Plttabnrg Rail way, whoso route covers the Brighton road from its terminus in Allegheny to Bellevue. HAS TWO OUTLETS TO PITTSBURG. The other lines are tho Fremont Street Railway Company and the Jackson Street Railway Company, providing a means of con nection with the IJittsburjr, Allegheny and Manchester Traction Company at Irwin and Western avenue, and giving the people out the New Brighton road two outlets to Pitts burg. A committee on resolutions wasappoln ted, consisting of D. B. Oliver, Charles Geyer, J. L. Goehring, P. Schomaker and Charles Hartman. Duncan Ramsey, Esq., also made a speech. He scored the Pleasant Valley Railway Com pany for corrupting councltmeu. When tho Committee on Resolutions reported Mr. Oliver read the report. He first read a reso lution, requesting Councils to grant the right of way for theJlcClure atenue. and Woods' Run avenue loop. Next he gave a resolution as from "some of the committee" requesting Councils to give the right of way for the entire length of the Brighton road to the P., A. & M. Co. The second resolution was signed by J. P. Shoemaker, Charles Geyer and Cliailes Hartman. Mr. Ollverex plauied that the committee differed. He did not favor taking up the controversy be tween the Pittsburg, Allegheny and Man chester Company and the Pleasant Valley Company as to the Brighton road matter. Ho favored the Pleasant Valley for the Now Brighton load. He was hotly opposed by the other speakeis and the resolution was adopted. , A Colored Leader for Peace. Houston, Tex., Sept. 10. Andrew J. Caroth ers, for years at the head of the Colored Alliance in the South, is out in an open letter to the people warning them against the Humphreys scneme of demanding exor bitant prices for cotton picking. He de nounces the author of the scheme, as well as the plan itself, and urges the negroes to live in harmony with the white fanner, alleging the closely interwoven interests of the two classes as reason in a business light, and the danger of stirring up strife as a further incentive to peace. John Dyer Killed. John Dyer, 21 years of age, a son of Henry Dyer, a gardener of Reservo township, was killed at 12 30 o'clock last night by his wagon running over him. Dyer was returning from Troy Hill and in some way was thrown from his wagon which passed over his body. Morganza Executive Gommlttce Meets. The Executive Committee of tho Pennsyl vania Reform School at Morganza held Its regular meeting yesterday afternoon. The session was a short one and nothing bat rou tine business was transacted. SMOKELESS RAILWAY ENGINES. A Very Satisfactory Smoke Consuming Test Is Given on the Junction Koad It Is Witnessed by Many City Officials and Kailroad Men. A public test was made yesterday after noon of the Western Smoke Preventer Company's smoke consumer. General Manager C. F. Jahn had issued cards of in vitation and promptly at 3 o'clock the special train pulled out from tho Baltimore and Ohio station for the Pittsburg Junc tion Railroad, where the test was to be made. Upon arriving at the destination the engine was attached to a train of nine cars loaded with slag about 600 yards from where the specta tors were stationed, and the btart was made up the heavy grade, the engine emitting densed volumes of smoke and then suddenly cease to a thin vupor as tho steam was turned on. Several trips were made, to the evident satisfaction or everyone excepfcMr. Beardsley, Master Mechanic of the Ft. Wavne road, who claimed that the engine had not been fired properly, and insisted that the fireman should only put in three shovelful of coal at a tlmo, and not eight or ten, as that many increased the volume of smoke. Another trip was made and the engine fired in the manner suggosted with the same results. The device is very simple in con struction. Air Jets are attached to thefront and rear of the firebox ana the air is forced through a pipe until it arrives at the point where the steam is forced in direct from the boiler, the hot air and steam form hydrogen gas, which is forced into the the firebox, which in turn forms an incandescent bed of coals, and prevent the formation of amokc. The principle is to get combustion as near to nature as possible. The perfect com bustion will prevent the formation of smoke. James Myers was in charge of tho engine, and said he was satisfied. He was Smoke Inspoctor in Chicago for two years, and has seen nearly all the appliances of the kind. Among those present were E. Holbrook, Superintendent Baltimore and Ohio; A. O. Rogers, Superintedent PIttburg and Castle Shannon; J. N. Kalbaugh, Master Mechanic for the Baltimore and Ohio; L. H. Turner, Master Mechanic Pittsburg and Lake Erie; W. F. Beardsley, MasterMechanfc Pittsburg, Ft. Wayne and Chicago, and H. Miller. Road Foreman of Engineers of tho same line. Among tne otners were rea uoettman, Jr., Jesse M. McGeary and George 8chad, mem bers of Public Safety Committee of Alle gheny Councils: Charles Miller, A. K. Har man and A. Frauenheim, of the Public Safety Committee of Pittsburg Councils. Robert Finney, Jr., Superintendent of the Pittsburg Junction, said that the consumer had been in operation for three weeks and gave perfect satisfaction. Engineer Mulli gan and Fireman McQuade also expressed themselves in the same way, thev having had charge since the engine bad been fitted up. YESTEBDAY'S AMBULANCE CALLS.

FIBST OF THE EXCUESI0NS. Thousands of Country People Throng the ' Great Halls of the Exposition. Tho Exposition was crowded yesterday. Tho first of the excursions from out of town came in, and the country people swarmed all over the main hall, up stairs and down, and then made their way across the yard to Mechanical Hall, where they enjoyed them selves to their hearts' content in watching the various processes of manufacture there displayed. Mechanical Hall is really a very interesting portion of the Expositionand anyone can spend a pleasant and profitable hair day there. There were seven, excur sions on the Pennsylvania Railroad and Baltimore and Ohio lines yesterday, and it is estimated that they brought In nearly 6,000 people. The Pittsburg and Western road will bring excursions in on September 16, 19, 23 and 30 from Clarion and lntcrmediato places. The New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio is arranging for an excursion from Jamestown, and tho Allegheny Valley Rail road will bring its patrons to the Exposition at reduced fares. There were several more pocketbooks found in the main hall of the Exposition yes dav, notwithstanding the warning contained in TnE Dispatch. The largest attendance of the season so far was last night. The excel lent band of the Seventh Regiment dis coursed catchy music under the director ship of Prof. Cappa, and that it was appre ciated was proven by the spontaneous ap plause that broke out from the attentive audience at tho end of evory number. Prof. Cappa is congratulated on his excellent judgment in making up his programmes. Willie he has enough classical" music to satisfy tho more cultured musicians In his audience, he does not neglect tho desires of those who like "popular" airs. A WESTEBN MOTIVE POWEE. Wonderful Results Obtained From Artesian Wells Throughout the West. Luis Jackson, Industrial Commissioner of tho Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway, was at the Hotel Anderson yester day. To a DisrATteii representative he said that the harvest In South Dakota would be tho greatest earned in ten years. He has traveled over E0.C00 miles since he was in Pittsburg last spring, and reports that not alone are all tho roads short of cars to haul the grain, but North and South Dakota farmers were short of 1 000 harvesting mh chines. No grain enr is left for more than 2t hours nt any Western elevator. The arte sian water power of South Dakota has been largely developed this year. It costs about $3,000 to sink a well. At Woonsocket, S. D., and other places some enterprising millers have attached a water motor to the well pipe, tho pressure of which Is ICO pounds to tho inch, and nil It costs to keep the machine in motion is 50 cents of oil per month. Some very large flour mills havo been put up and the water supply and sewaec pnmping of towns Is done by artesian well force. In Aberdeen. S. D., the motor has run night andday for over three years with no appreciable diminution. Mr. Jackson said that Western railroading was slightly different from that of the East, where manufacturing wns fully developed, in so far that the Western roads had to &up ply imormatfon as to natural resources In order to attract new capital and new indus tries. The Eastern section, of tho country depends largely on Western prosperity and development, both agricultural and indus trial, vmite a numoer or new manuiaccunng concerns, chiefly adapted to the locality, have been established in the West this year. Tho Deaths of the Week. There wero 107 deaths in Pittsburg during the week ending September 5, or a death rate of 22.52 per 1.C00 inhabitants annually as compared with 91 deaths dnring the corre- sponding week of 1890.

A Change of Tenue Thought to Be Neces sary to Win the Big Suit. THE PE0SECUT0R GAINS IN ANT EVENT The peculiar manner in which Bev. W. E, Covert has secured his backing from the Magna Charta Mining and Tunnel Com pany, in order to enable him to prosecute the Harlem claim, came to light yesterday through a conversation with a gentleman who is closely associated with the affair. As stated exclusively in 3 esterday's Dis patch, Mr. Covert is in possession of 20,000 shares of the mining stock, a part of which he has made arrangements to distribute to tho Harlem heirs in the following manner: Each heir assigns to him a half interest in his claim and secures in return one share of stock in the mining company at par value. According to theoxneriencoof thecompany.Mr. Covert is of the opinion tnat whether the Harlem suit is won or lost the heirs will have some thing that will pay them from 30 to 50 per cent in dividends. The Magna Charta Tunnel penetrates the granite mountains in Colorado, which is filled with mineral veins. The object of the company in making the tunnel was to cnt at right angles the veins or mineral, thus re ducing tho expense of mining nearly 90 per cent. By means of the tunnel all the ore is handled on a down grade, which is vastly more efficient than minim; by means of shafts. The capacity of the tunnel is 50 tons a day. The tunnel was located In leSL The company was organized in 1883 and capitalized with $2,500 000, all paid up and no stock for sale, except what Is in the hands of Mr. Covert for the benefit of the Harlem heirs. Although it Is consid ered one of tho most wonderful mining plants in the world, little has been known of the workings of the company owing to the great value of the country surrounding Granite Mountain which it desired to get control of. Dr. J. Nesblt Wilson, Acting President of the company.accompaniedMr. Covert to New York, where the papers In the Harlem suit will be prepared at once. The manner In which Mr. Covert has been enabled to raise the necessary capital to prosecute this im mense claim Is considered by bis friends as the most unique on record. The greatest fear as to the result of the suit, however, tests in the question of venue. It is thought it win be very difficult to find a New York Jnry that would decide against the city of New York, although It may be easily proven that the city had no right to deed the property to those who hold titles to it at present. If the caso could be tried some place in the South or West the heirs would have a better chance to win, and even then it is thought the case w ould be carried into the United States Court, where it would Dc likely to go against tnem. But m eltncr event, the position Mr. Covert is in he can prosecute the claim without losing any money. If ho loses this snit he will still be iu possession of 10,000 shares of mining stock, for which he will have paid practi cally nothing. If he wins he will be worth millions.
