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,

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."

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.

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.

NEW METAL FOR GUNS.
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.

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.

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.
Secretary Speed of the Bricklayers Denies
There AA'as a Letter Sent.
Secretary Speed of the Bricklayers' Union
called at The DisrATCii office last evening
to take exception to an article printed in
yesterday's issue relating to the strike in
that trade, now at end. He says there was
no communication sent to the Masters'
Association, as stated, and the men had no
notion of giving up the strike.
Mr. Speed says that when it is decided to
declare the strike off they will do it them
selves, and meanwhile would like to see the
communications said to have been sent by
them to the masters.
Machinists on Strike.
A committee of the International Asso
ciation of Machinists called at The Dis
patch office last evening, and stated that
the strike at the Continental Tube Works
was still on, and that machinists should
keep away from it.
The LArge Factories Next.
'Miss Mary A. O'Eeilly, the Deputy
Factory Inspector, did not have a big day's
work yesterday. She will begin anew to
morrow on some of the larger factories that

H. C. Frice denies that his company has
agents in California in order to prove
whether it would bo advisable to manu
facture coke, iron and steel in that section
of the country.
Me. Armakd Stevart, the Belgian gentle
man who was hero for a week in tho interest
of his country, left early yesterday morning
for Chicago. Mr. Stevart was a commis
sioner on the Paris Exposition, nnd he ex
pects to be connected with the AVorld's Fair
in the same capacity.
Special Aoest Swartz Is not discouraged
nt the shape the carpenters rlna themselves
in slnco tho strike. He says there is only a
difference of 100 in the number of building
permits issued this year as compared with
last season, in spite or tho statement of the
m.ister builders that building had collapsed
for the present year.
Striking Bricklayers Fined.
Contractor D. F. McAfee preferred
charges against Pat Higgins and Ed Har
per, two of the principal officers of Brick
layer's Union No. 2, for interfering with
his men and calling himself and his work
men vile names, at a new building being
constructed on New Grant street. The
hearing took place yesterday. The strikers
were fined and the costs placed on them.
They were notified to keep away from the
building in the future.
Ban Into a Traction Car.
The hose carriage belonging to engine
company No. 13 collided with a Citizens'
line car yesterday at the corner of Penn
avenue and Twenty-seventh street. The
driver, George Heckmeyer, was thrown to
the ground and severely injured about the
head.
Thrown Ont on His Head.
A horse driven by Thomas Campbell be
came frightened at a cable car on Fifth
avenue, near Shady avenue, yesterday and
ran away, throwiug Mr. Campbell from the
buggy. He received a painful cut in the
head and was badly bruised.
The JEollan Echo Pedal.
One of the most entrancing musical effects
ever produced is by the new third pedal of
the opera pianos. It is called the iEolian
Echo, and its use enables the performer to
bring forth the most delicate and fairy-like
effects. 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.
Chamber suites in antique oak, En

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.

is one of the best equipped in the country
for high-class work. The Pittsburg Indus

closes October 17. It is one of the largest,
best managed and most successful Exposi

brief seasons 1,000,000 people passed through
its gates. The profits go toward paying for
the buildings erected, and for adding to
their number or in making improvements.

"I have visited this season every new

comparisons of present advantages, and en
deavoring as far as possible to estimate the

A Revision of Ward Lines Wanted.
The residents of Observatory Hill, in
Allegheny, will hold a meeting next Thurs
day night at the schoolhouse to take some
action toward a better division of the ward
lines in that district. The hill is composed
of parts of the Second, Tenth and Twelfth
wards, and it is said the schools are very
unequally divided, some of the children
living in the Tenth ward and within block
of the Second ward school having to go a
mile to the Tenth ward school. The mat
ter of a better division of Jhe polling places
will also be taken into consideration, and
a long existent inconvenience, it is hoped,
will be adjusted.
