Another Big Mass Meeting to Wednesday Evening to enre Subscriptions. Be Ee- ncid WEST EKD COSTAXT WILL TAKE STOCK. It May Be Xcctssary to Elevate the Tracks or a Ijrrc rortioa of the Road. The "Wet End is to have a new street railway. The agitation inaugurated by the citizens in fawr of securing rapid transit has taken on form. The men who are at the head of the Citizens' Committee are inclined to oliject to snch epithets as "kickers" that have been applied to them. They are in earnest in their attempt to secure better accommo dations for their section of the city and are wrillins to offer any assistance possible in order to put on a permanent and substantial footing any plans that will insure immedi ate prospects of relief. Yesterday the Citizens' Committee, that was provided for at the last mass meeting held, was announced. It is as follows: Joseph. Uoyep, Chairman: X. T. Taylor, Secretary; Samuel 31. French, Thomas P. Herhberger, Henry Daub, J. If. Wise, Eo., John Mertz, Sr., Henry Friend, ,T. "W." Friend, C. C. Craft, Andrew Patterson, Samuel H. Lawson, "William Creighton, Mrsv. "Welsh, William L. Sheridan, James . Bell, Jr., Ch.irles Bedell, Andrew McQiiilty, llobert Bell. Jr., Kobert Burgan, "William Hill, Esq., Percy F. Smith and J. J. McCormick. This committee has been selected from the representative citizens along the pro posed line, extending all the way from the "West End to Mansfield, and including all the intermediate points. A STREET RAILWAY MASS MEETING. During the coming two weeks some mis sionary work is to be done in order to" cdn cate the people," as Mr. Patterson put it yesterday, up to what the conimitte de sires. On "Wednesday evening a mass meet ing will be held at Ingram. It will be of a similar character to the one in the "West End. Members of the committee will be present to address the citizens on the importance of having these suburban points connected to the city by more convenient means of transporta tion. On next Saturday evening a similar meeting will be held at Crafton, and at the following meeting the citizens of Mansfield wiil have an opportunity to have the plans of the committee explained to them. It was announced yesterday that an im portant proposition is to be made to the "West End Street Railway Company. If, after the meetings are held, it is learned that the Citizens' Committee can raise suf ficient capital to build the road from Mans field to the city line, the West End Com pany will be inited to take stock in the new company to any desirable extent for the richt of way over their road into the city in order to make a direct line from the city proper to Mansfield. A member of this committee said yesterday that this proposition would be made in order to show the "West End company that they were not greedy and that they did not want to take advantage of the present company. they am: very independent. However, in the event of the West End Company not accepting the proposition, it is proposed to go ahead w ith the new company and,if no other access to the city can be had, to brine the road in by means of elevated tracks from the West End along West Main street to the Smithfield street bridge, thence into the city over the Birmingham tracks. Secretary Taylor, of the committee, was seen yesterdaj He said: 'I think our people can be regarded as being in earnest in the present plans and something tangible may te expectid. The committee as it is constituted represents over .". 000,000 of capital. They are all financially interested eitlier in the West End, Idlcwood, Ingram, Crafton, Sheridan, the Wood estate or Mansfield, and from what I understand they are willing to proceed at once, each one put up the re quired capital to build the road." READY" TO PUT IIP UIG MONEY. Andrew Patterson was called on. He is Secretary of the Sheridan Land Improve ment Company, and is very anxious to have an electric road jiass his property. He said: "I am not acquainted with all the plans of the committee. But I understand there is to be considerable work done among the citizens with a view to dis covering how thev feel toward the plans of the committee. The committee is composed of thorough business men from the "West End and the Chartiers Valley, and I think they have shown the people that thev must have better facilities. As to the proposition to the We End Company, I do not believe that should be made too early. I am in fnor of waiting until we get through with our meetings and we know how much money we can raise. Then I think a survey should be made and some estimates secured as to the cost of the road. Henry Daub, one of the West End busi ness men, said he was greatly interested in the weltarc of the West End, and lie thought there should be no difficulty en countered in securing enough money to bnild the road. Another prominent member of the com mittee said : "I do not believe the West End company could build a road at present. They say they intend to do so, but they are indefinite as to the time set to begin opera tions, if that has been fixed. Wc are fair in our proposition to be made. Our plan is to organize the company, put up the capital necessary, let the old'eompauf in, and, if need be, let them run the road", and at any future lime if they desire 10 do so, and are in a financial position to do so, tlu-y can buy us out. There is nothing unfair about that, and iwill permit of more immediate action and secure a road that is needed for the accommodation of at least 40,000 people of the Chartiers Vallev." Drew a Suit and Failed to Get It. The American Suit Club Company comes to the front again . Nicholas Lehybergcr, of Jcannette, has a grievance against them which he says he proposes to have setlled. "Through A. M- Dixon, an agent of the compiny," said he last night, "1 was in duced to go into ihe thing. I had been in it just one week and paid ?1, when on An eust 29 I received a telegram from Dixon that I had drawn a suit. Two days later I got a letter lrom B. T. Hatton, the man ager, saying the same, and telling me to come on and get the suit. I came on to 1'ittBburg to-day and Hatton gave me an order on Crling"the tailor. I went there, selected a suit, and after being measured presented the order. They declined to take it. Now, I propose to see why. If they think I'm green they are mistaken." Dr. B. M. Hank a.

Judges Ewlng and McClung II oar an Airfal Burden of ramlly TVoes One Stretch of Married Happiness Kudoly Broken by a Song. Conjugal infelicities were heard again in the Quarter Sessions, Judge McClung and Harry Goehring. Esq., putting the parties through their paces in one court and Judge Ewing hearing them in the other. The case of Dr. McElfresh and his wife was again gone over by the latter side of the contro" versy. The doctor's attorney, James A. Smith, decided to let the other side rest un til the final hearing came on. In Judge McClung's court Patrick Burke was condemned to pay Mrs. Grace Burke ?4 a week. Thev live in Homestead and the desertion has been running 11 months. Michael Kearn3 and Mary Burke, of Mulberry allev, could not get along peace ably and she sued him, charging surety of thepeace. An application of cold water to both in shape of a division of costs, was prescribed. The case of Harry L. Steel and wife, of Allegheny City, illustrated the danger of attempting to support the modern woman on S7 a week. Mrs. Steel said Harry hadn't given her enough of money to keep her, and he said that after a bare "existence for him self she got all left. The defendant's father testified that Mrs. Steel had told him she knew other men she liked better than her husband. She denied that she had said so. There was considerable crossfiring. Mr. Lee said that since he ceased to sacrifice at the domestic altar his compensation had been 7 a week and ?.r of this went to pav his board. Judge Mc Clung ruled that he must pay his wife S3 a week and find cheaper boarding for himself. The wife is considerably more youthful in appearance than her lord. J. Ij. uecraori anu .Mary .ueeruori con cluded they could not live together in peace and separated, he agreeing to gh e her So a week and keep up an insurance for her ben efit of $3,000, Now she wants Mr. Deerdorf made to give bond for the payment of the sti pend, and he contends that this would viti ate the whole contract The case was con tinued. The contention between the Brownlees and the O'Neills, of Arch street, near the Penn avenue incline, was i cry funny, but services of a dozen phonographs, character and d'alect actors and actresses would be necessary to give it intelligibly. There was a cloud of witnesses on hands ot all shades of color, and it happened that the controversy began by each side singingat the other and" agsravating each other as an Indian burning nt the stake insults his captors. For some reason best known to His Honor he did not order this part of the battle rehearsed, so it was difficult to tell which party was most to blame, and so both were punished by a division of the costs. One witness said he fiidn't hear any "explnnage" that would justify Mr. Brown lee in getting very angry. ALLEGHENY'S FINANCIAL AFFAIBS. Chairman Ilenrlcks Declares IIo Will Thor oughly Investigate Hastings' Case. While the action of the Corporations Committee in shutting out the Manchester Street llailway and giving the Pleasant Valley Company all it asked was the main topic of discussion in Allegheny yesterday, there is found to be no foundation for the report that a citizens' reform committee had been organized, nor has the Manchester Companv taken any further steps to secure their riglits. Many councilmen, officials of both roads, and citizens who are usually in terested in reform were seen and no one was found who had any knowledge of anv such steps being in contemplation, al though all admitted that there was abun dant opportunity for a reform committee to get in its work. Chairman Henricks, of the Auditing Committee, knew of no citizens' reform committee being formed. He said: "The auditing would be glad to have the assist ance of such a committee, and the citizens of Allegheny may yet have to organize against the gang who are attempting to rule the city." Mr. Henricks stated that a meeting of the Auditing Committee would be held to morrow night and the report on Market Clerk Hastings' accounts will be made. He said there would be no whitewashing permitted, either in this report or those to follow. Took Morphine to Die. Miss Lizzie Fulton, aged about 45 years, a resident ot "Vine street, attempted to com mit suicide yesterday by taking morphine. About. 11 o'clock her aunt, Mrs. Major Davis, with whom she is staying, found her lying on the floor of her bedroom. She was unconscious and could not be aroused. Phy sicians were summoned, wjio applied restor atives. When she recovered consciousness she admitted having taken something but would not say what it was. She refused to take medicine hut was finally forced to do so. It gave her relief and in several hours she was out of danger. Shj finally said that she had taken morphine and wanted to die. The morphine she got from her brother, a Bolivar physician. Injured In a Premature Blast. A Hungarian, about 33 years old, was brought to the West Penn Hospital last night. He was in the employ of Fred Gwinner, a contractor, and while blasting near Avalon, on the Ft. Wayne Railroad, had his right hand blown off and his left eye put out by a premature explosion.

Dr. Emmens Preparing to Make Small Arms and Ordnance Out of a i K0VEL AND TENACIOUS COMPOUND. He Has a Government Older for the Conver sion of a 15-Inch Rodman. FACTORIES LOCATED AT TOUNGW00D Nichelum gun metal is a new metal which is destined, probably, to play an im portant part in the future of firearms and light ordnance. It is the invention of Dr. S. IL Emmens, the wizard of Emmens station, who arrived at the Monongaliela yesterday, accompanied by his son. Dr. Emmens is forming a company in New York to undertake work already secured from the Government, in which the metal is to be given a trial, ami to manufacture small arms of it for the general trade. Dr. Emmens consented to unfold, for the first time, his plans in connection with this new metal. It was only within the last day or two that they had been brought to such a point as to admit of publication. The doc tor said he had secured 20 acres of land ad jacent to Youngwood on the Southwest Penn road, with a frontage of 850 feet to the railroad. The factories at Emmens were now in course of being moved there, and within a short time the Emmens Metal Company and the Emmensite Explosive Company would be established in new quar ters on this land. The company being formed to manufacture arms and ordnance wo ild be called the "Emmens Gun Com pany" and would occupy new buildings fronting the ra'lroad, and remote from the explosives factory. WILIi BEGIN WORK AT ONCE. The new gun metal, to which the inventor has given the name of "Nichelum gun metal," will be made in the metal com pany's factories and manufactured by the guncompany into arms and ordnance. For tnis latter purpose the new factory will De fitted with the requisite equipments. The company willbe incorporated within a short time. Dr. Emmens says that the company has already received an order on which to'com mencebusiness. This is from the Govern ment, and for the conversion of a 15-inch Epdman gun into a rifled torpedo thrower. Congress had appropriated 515,000 for the Imrpose. The new gun is to be a breech oader and carry a shell loaded with em mensite. The material principle in which this gun will differ from others is in the manner of exploding the charge and in the rifling. The jjtm will have what the doctor calls "a multicharge breech block," com prising a departure in exploding the charge, which will prove to be a radical im provement on the present modes. Dr. Emmens says of his new metal, the "nickclum gun metal," that it is a modified aluminum bronze, consisting essentially of nickel and aluminum. It has such strength and tenacity that guns can be constructed of it of much lighter weight than are now used, and at the same time carry a stronger charge. JJr. J'.mmciis claims lor guns made of this metal and exploded on his new principle that the penetration will be greater than with any similar charge now in use. Dr. Emmens does not think that the Government will ever depart from the use of steel for the heavy ordnance, principallv owing to the outlay which pri vate firms have gone to to equip themselves for their manufacture, but if the trials of his new gun are successful the small arms and field pieces will likely be made on the new pattern. HOW THE CHARGE IS EXPLODED. Dr. Emmens says that his system of ex- fdoding a charge in the newgun is to spread he force along the barrel, in place of con centrating it. as at present, at the initial point of explosion, the breech. This is why he calls the block a multi-charge breech block, signifying that the charge will be ex ploded by a series of explosions, one follow ing the other, and spreading the force from breech to muzzle. The eflecfof this will be that there willbe no longer necessity for the weight of metal used in the breech," and the whole piece can bo made much lighter. The metals now beia made by Dr. Em mens are niekelum gun metal, nickelum bronze, nickelum brass and nickelum silver. The nickelum bronze will be used for the mountings of the guns. Dr. Emmens says that some nickelum silver, made into trollev wheels, was tested on a Western electric road and traveled 4.500 miles show ing very little wear. The average life of a trolley wheel was 30 days or 3,000 miles. INSPECTOE M'XELVY LAID OFF. Two Third District Officers Snspendcd for TJnbecomiug Comluc. Police Inspector McKelvy, of the South side district, waa suspended yesterday for conduct unbecoming an officer. Special Officer Carrigan, of the same district, was also laid oft. The offen.se, which police officials decline to talk about, Mas com mitted in August, prior to Superin tendant "Weir assuming charge of the Police Bureau. For this reason the order of suspension was issued by Chief Brown. When the latter was asked about it he said he had nothing to tell. Superintendent AVeir was equally reticent, and had nothing to say except that the officers had done something men in their positions should not have been guilty of. Captain Stewart was put in charge ot the district soon alter McKelvy s removal. The suspension of an inspector is such an uncommon affair that almost everybody about City Hall was discussing it. "Few, however, "knew the cause, and those who did kept quiet. The two will probably have a hearing to-morrow morning. What tho Commodore Said. In relation to the interesting debate in the Cornorations Committee o Allegheny Council Friday night, Commodore Kountz states that his position, while made perfect ly and emphatically clear fo the committee, was not lucidly presented in the press. He nas represented as claiming that there were now too many tracks in the town, and as denouncing "bogus companies formed to secure franchises to sell out," Which he says was correct; but the additional statement that he scored the Pleasant Valley Company for "corrupt practices" the Commodore w ishes to deny. The Pleasant Valley peo ple, he states, are his friends. He did not care to particularize who composed the "bogus companies" which were asking for privileges, but siinplv held to the position that while they should get nothing, it would baproper and right to give either of the parent companies the Pittsburg, Alle gheny and Manchester or Pleasant Vallev " everv reasonable facility for furnishing rapid and improved transit The amount ofannlause which attended the Commo dore's remarks may, he thinks, have made it difficult for the reporters to catch his exact drilt. Diphtheria Prevalent on the Somhsldc. Eight new cases of diphthetria and seven of scarlatina were reported to the Bureau of Health yesterdav. Three of the diphtheria cases are in the Thirty-second ward and one each in the Thirty-fifth and Thirty-sixth wards. Of the scarlatina, two of the cases are in the Twenty-fourth ward and one each in the Twenty-fifth and Twenty-seventh wards. American Institute Parmer's Club.

His claret and brandy have no superiors. TALKS ABOUT THE COMBINE. President Ripley Gives Some Interesting Facts About the United States Glass Company How It Was Formed and What Is Expected of It. Speaking of the formation and plans of the United States Glass Company, which has now been in successful operation for some weeks, President Kipley said yester day: "We engaged four different sets of ap praisers, one to value land, another machin ery, another buildings, another tools and machinery and a fourth stocks, materials, etc., so as to arrive at the true value of every concern entering our corporation. Upon the appraisers' report being made, which was in all cases satisfactory to all concerned, we issued common stock of the United States Glass Company for the amount equal to the appraised value of each plant. After this was settled we took the average profits for three years of each concern and took one third of the same as the value of the good will of each factory and issued preferred stock for this. We have no drones in our corporation. We cut off all superfluous clerks, managers, shoppers, moldmakcrs and supernumeraries of all kinds. T)ur sav ing in this direction will pay a dividend on common stock." As to the stock for sale, Mr. Eipley said: "We have issued but 5200,000 preferred stock, guaranteeing 8 per cent dividend for five years, with an option of thc company redeeming it at the end of that time. Our company is prosperous and all our concerns are old and well established. We have no mushroom facto ries, and the story that Beattv Bros, have sold out to us is untrue. Wc don't want factories located on the natural gas belt where the gas is playing out. We are looking out for No. 1, as we feel that with natural gas exhausted coal is a sure fuel, and our factories can use cheap coal. We expect a good trade, and the outlook for business is good. Our idea is that with a concentrated management we can run our work much cheaper than heretofore, and we want our labor to make good wages. We have no intention or desire to reduce wages, and shall do our best to pay fair wages and be on friendly terms with our men. Our sole idea in get ting up a corporation was to economize in manufacture so as to create a demand for American glass and compete with foreign glass and lessen the cost of ware so it can be exported and still derive a good profit and maintain a fair day's wages for a fair day's work." APPRAISERS NOT APPOINTED. J. A. Chambers' Jeannetto Stock Will De Sold To-Morrow Morning. It was thought that probably the papers would have been prepared yesterday asking for the appointment of appraisers to look after the James A. Chambers assignment. Attorney Ferguson, however, has been out ot city for several days and nothing has been done. The appraisers will be ap pointed some time this week. There will be exposed at public sale to morrow at 10 o'clock at the Sheriff's office, Pittsburg, 1,930 shares of the capital stock of the Chambers & McKee Plate Glass Com pany of Jeannette, taken in execution as the property of James A. Chambers at the suit of Mrs. Martha J. Chambers. Mr. Chambers, as has been stated, will re-enter the plate glass business as soon as his pres ent difficulties are arranged. Attorney Ferguson said last night that no definite steps had been taken in this matter, but that Mr. Chambers had hosts of friends who would be glad to enlist with him in any en terprise in which he might embark. It is expected that H. Sellers McKee will be present at the sale to-morrow to secure the 1,950 shares. The Industrial School Heady for AVorK.

A Local Glass Firm Considers the Matter of Building a Branch IN THE STATE OP WASHINGTON. President Riplej Describes the Plans of the U. S. Company. MISCELLANEOUS INDUSTRIAL ITEMS The glass industry is extending. The prospects are good for a local company building a branch factory at Spokane, Wash. Bcliable information has gained circulation that the Pittsburg Glass Compauy has agreed upon cer tain conditions to establish a plant at that point. A new vein of rock and sand has been discovered there recently, and they were tested at the Mining Exchange by competent assayers and pronounced good material for the manufacture of rinss. Emil Guenther, one of the gentlemen in terested in the material, was anxious to have an Eastern concern locate there, and immediately communicated with represent atives of the Pittsburg Company with a view to having them go out. In his letter to the Pittsburg Glass Com pany he made a proposition to the effect that he had a large claim of suitable material for making glass, and that he was willing to give up the claim to any manufacturer free of cost, on the condition that they reserve any silver ore they may find. This the company readily agreed to and wrote Mr. Gnenther that if he would send them a sample of his material, and it proved as good by their tests as it was recom mended, and the location was a good one regarding transportation, they would be ready to put up the works at once. Th'e material has not yet arrived at the office of the Pittsburg company, but it is understood that 100 pounds is on the way. Of course, no definite promises have as yet been made, as the decision of the Pittsburg company will depend al together upon the result ot the tests of the material. Advices received from Spokane in dicate that the people there have great con fidence in the material, and that it will more than come up to what they claimed lor it. A call was made at the office of the Pitts burg company yesterday, but no representa tive of the firm was in. It was learned from another source that the company had the matter under advisement, and that definite arrangements will be made as soon as possi ble. OBJECTS TO THE STATEMENTS.

Its soothing influence upon nerv ous persons and those in delicate health, who cannot endure the noisy practicing of their children, is truly wonderful," and, added to this gossamer faintness of tone.you have an overwhelming grandeur and brill iancy of sound all of which has made the Opera.pianos so immensely popular in this country. The glorious Opera pianos surpass all others (except the Steinway and Conover) and their cost is very reasonable. The im mense durability of the Opera enables the Messrs. Kleber & Bro., 506 Wood street, Pittsburg, to fully warrant them for eight long years. A call at Kleber & Bro.'s, 506 Wood street, and an examination of those splendid new three pedal Opera pianos is re spectfully solicited.

The Braddock .Deficiency Story Proves to Be a Canard. The sensational story of the sudden disap pearance of 521,000 of the sewer bond funds of Braddock was investigated yesterday by a Dispatch representative and if proved to be a canard. Several citizens were seen and said the first they heard of it was in the papers. Burgess J. A. Kussell stated that he was satisfied that there was not one cent of shortage and that the story had been started by a person who had a little too much benzine on board. Mr. Kussell was Treasurer of the borough prior to his elec-' tion as Burgess and was very positive that every cent could be accounted for. T. G. Aten, one of the auditing commit tee, explained as follows: "In 1889 Council issued bonds to the amount of 563,500; the work of laying the sewers continued until the winter set in and was discontinued owing to the bad weather. The books that we audited were for that time, the year 1889, and the amount reported as having been expended ws for that year. In 1890 the work was continued and the balance of the money used and 810,000 in ad dition that had been received as revenue from parties tapping the sewer. The Auditing Committee had noth ing to do with the books for 1890, as they were elected to audit the books of 1889. AVhen the books for 1890 are examined the croakers will probably find out what be came of the $21,000 claimed to be short." Councilman Dible also made the same ex planation as Mr. Aten, and added that the only real fault he could find was that the Auditing Committee were so long going over the books, it having taken them nearly two years to audit'them. THE HEXRICKS MUSIC CO. They Secnre the AVeber Agency for Fltts-bm-g. Prom the New TorkMusic Trades' Paper. Another important transfer of an agency has taken place by which the Henricks Music Co., of 101 and 103 Fifth avenue, Pittsburg, get the AVeber agency for that city and surrounding territory. We congratulate the Henricks Co. on acquiring so valuable an agency, and we also congratulate the Weber firm on adding snch a leading and representative firm to their long and notable list of acents. The new deal is a good one all round. We understand the first shipment of AVeber pianos to the Henricks Co. was made on Thursday, when a selected lot of 24 instru ments, uprights, parlor grands and baby grands, was sent on to Pittsburg. The Henricks Co. are building a new store irtPittsburg. When they move into it, which will be in a few months, they will have, it is said, the finest warerooms in the State of Pennsylvania. These will have a depth alone of 240 feet. The Henricks Music Co. mean to push the AVeber piano with great energy, and as they have the requisite means and standing, there is no doubt they will make a great success of it. A Others see It.
