Hi- ami five tithe r officers are said to hare

about such a storj."
The third tale, happily, has not its oriein

Avere walkimj up through the ravine a few

party discocred a mysterious person
ahead. He was sneaking along
through the woods as if tearful of being
seen. " Captain Akaril started toward him.
-when he took to his heels and disappeared
among the tree. The party tracked him
for some distance, but finally lost the trail.
All the old coal mines were searched, but
nobody was lound. The man lias a Acrv

form an independent organisation to

kind has been on loot for some time, and on
I'ridav ecning of last week a res
olution was introduced jirotiiling
lor the withdrawal, but it was laid
over until last night for action The ote
taken last night is not final. It was more
an the nature of a resolution submitting the
question of a withdrawal to a popular vote of
the organization. It At ill be sent to the An

The people of Pittsburg, regardless of
party, have little or no information bearing
on the proposed Constitutional Convention
in l'ennsyhania. 3Iany of the local poli
ticians At ho Aiatch with marked interest the
moteinent of their own and opposing
parties, were unable ye-terday to giA'c
out even a remote idea of Avhat prepara
tions, if any, At ere being made for such an
assembly.
This morning the Democratic County
Committee will meet to arrange for prima
ries to elect delegates to the proposed con
Acntion. The primaries will likely be held
a week Inter. On Saturday, October 10,
the ltepuhlican County Committee At ill
mtet for the same purpose. Their pri
maries will likely be held on October 17.
The delegates nominated, in addition to the
'! delegates at large, At ill be Aoted for at
the general election, when the electors, at
the same time, Atill determine by their A"otes
whether a Constitutional Conention will
be held.
NO CAXmO.VTES YET ANNOUNCED.
Xo candidates haAe as Aet been an
nounced in either party in Allegheny
county. The lack of interest in the pro
posed convention is construed by those who
would otherwise be ambitious for a seat in
the proposed gathering to mean that no con
Aeution Atill be held, and through lack of
interest the people hate not familiarized
themscl"cs cither with the law on the sub
ject, the number of delegate" contemplated,
the method of their selection, or the
work proposed for them. Lawyers and
politicians were alike in their unconcern on
the subject. They arc not At illing to talk
one At ay or another, and seem to take it for
granted that no contention will be held.
The act of Assembly providing for the
election of delegates to the Constitutional
Coaen!ion proposes that the convention
shall be composed of 177 members. Of this
number 27 are to be chosen as delegates at
large. For the delegates at large the elec
tor shall A at" lor 18. The Kepiiblican and
Democratic parties have already each nomi
nated IS camli 'atcs. The majority party
will in all piobability elect their IS candi
dates, and the jiiii- candidates of the min
ority party receiving the highest number of
to make up the 27 delegates.
now Tin: otiikiis Ai:n ciiosr.v.
The o'her l.0 delegates must be chosen
from the ."I! Senalorialdistricts of the State,
givin- each district tmvc delegate. Each
of the tile old parlies has or will nominate
two candidates in each district, and the
three candidate; receiting the highest
number of a otes will he declared elected.
The uncertainty in the political affairs of
the State has a tendency to make both
parties a trifle shy of the proposed conven
tion The Democrats allege they want the
contention of the ballot system if the
State only is changed, v bile" liepublicans
contend that if a convontion is held other
changes in the instrument will be made.
"The people in our county are giving the
Constitutional Contention matter no atten
tion," said Police .Tudgc Gripp, Chairman
of the Itcpublican County Committee yes-terilaA-.
"We have aboiit concluded that
there will be no contention," he went on.
IN r.WOK Or A CONVENTION.
Chairman I'rennen, of the Democratic
CountA- Committee, is strongly in favor of a
Constitutional Contention, but he is not
saiiguin- that one will beheld. "It must
be admitted." Jlr. Brennen said, "that there
', little or no interest manifested in the
proposed convention, but it strikes me as
lining of vital importance to the State of
1'cnnsyhanix Our ballot system demands
some changes. There should be n system of
lH'isonai registration in large cities, and
the sv.stem now in use in the country should
be change-el and amendtd Another and
more important reason why a convention
should b" held is the necessity of having a
State Constitution that will enforce itself."
"Is not legislation necessary to enforce
auj constitution'."' was asked.
"Probab'y But Avhy not so frame a
constitution that avi'11 enforce itself?" Jlr.
Itrennen replied.
"That is a new idea in constitution
making, is it not""
"Possibly. Hut many of our good ideas
arc new ones. For instance," 3Ir. Brennen
went on, "what is the good of the instru
ment known as the Constitution if legisla
tion is necessary to enforce it and the
Legislature ne-glecf s or refuses to enact tliat
legislation '.' That is iust Avlicre we stand
in Pittsburg. Let ns have a constitutional
convention and hat c a constitution that w ill
enforce itself."
CALLING CAMPBELL DOWN.
r.cc-il Tin Plate 1'eoplo .Bay Ho Ought to
Know ilcttcr Than to Misrepresent
Tarin" Jlatteis Some of Their Answer
ing: .Arguments.
The idea con-eycd in a speech of Goa
cmor Campbell at Stciibenvillc Friday, that
there is but one tin plate factory in the
country and that only "7 by 9," at Apollo,
ha made local manufacturers rather angry.
P. II. Laufman Jt Co. is the firm tlist has
the plart in Apollo. A representative of
the firm -aid a esterday :
"Our faeioiv is about as large as the aver
age plant in "Wales, and we will soon be
tinning out 400 boxes a day, which is far
above the average capacity of the "Welsh
plants"
Assistant President Garland, of the
Amalgamated Association, said: "Governor
Campbell must cclainlv luiehnoiin he Avas
making a misleading statement at Stcuben-
' A"illc. "We liate a lodge at Demmler, com
posed largely of the men emploj eil at the
United States iron and tinplate plant. They
ere turni.ig out lots of tin there. GoA"crnor
Campbell does not need to go out of Ohio
to find tin plants in operation. There is
one at Picjun and another in the course of
eri'ction et Immlale. There is a Aery large
one going up in New Philadelphia," nnd a
company just formed in Allegheny beside
many mills that have been prepared all
along to make blaek sheets, that are now
putting in tinning plants."
To show t e extent of the business done
by the V. S. Iron and Tin Plate Manufac
turing Company, Mr. Cronemeycr isuci a
circular letter Septcmb r 23 to his trade,
stating that the firm had been at Avork for
se en or eight months in the manufacture
of bright ti't plates. Most of the others
A,-ho have started up have only been making
tin plates. Mr. Croncmeyer's letter con
cludes: "Wc -arc now ready to invest our money
and spend our time in del el ping au iu
elustry in which, ultimately, from 20,000 to
i0,0lH) American Aiorkmen will finel em
ployment at Arages which are from 100 to
200 por csnt higher than tho wages paid in
the Welsh works."
Local manufacturers claim to be through
with the experimental part of the work in
connection Arith establishing the industry.
They are now beginning to improve the
methods of tnrning out tin. A. local work
man claims to haA"e a new patent, devised
for the castine of the plates, for Afhich he
claims three benefits. First, the cheapness
and simplicitA' of it; second, the limited
amount of skill necessary to tin with it;
third, a tin made by the aid of palm oil, and
not by poisonous acids, such as flux. He
claims he eau turn out eight boxes of 112
sheets an hour.
AS OTHERS SEE IT.
I'oliticlans or ISoth Parties Talk of the
StralKht-Out Democratic Movement
Some "Who Had Xever Heard of It, or
Say Tliey Hadn't.
The meeting at Lafayette Hall Thursday
night of "straight-out" Democrats was lib
erally discussed in political circles yester
day. Ex-Jury Commissioner Ennis. one of
the recognized leaders of the straight-outs,
said last night: ""We are after the boss
w itli a sharp stick "Wchae already read
several Democrats out of the party, and we
will read others out before the election.
"e ivill surprise the politicians some of
these daA's."
Chairman Gripp, of theI.epnblican Con
vention said: "The straight-outs are not in
it. They At ill be unable to concentrate their
foices in election days."
F. P. Tarns said: "I have not thought
much about the alleged straight-out meet
ing. As for myself, I will shape my course
to the best interest of Judge Kennedy."
P. Foley when asked about the meeting
looked surprised and asked. "What meet
ing?" "The straight-out meeting at Lafayette
Hall," was the answer.
"I did not know there wos a meeting
held," Mr. Foley replied, as he hurried
away.
Stephen C McCandless It Avould be diffi
cult tor us to get competent and responsible
nfen to stand for e-andidates on the Demo
cratic ticket at this time. I know nothing
about what the Straight-outs are doing, but
I am satisfied that to place another ticket
in the Held now would jeopardize the
chances of the election of Judge Kenneth-,
the only Democrat we haA'e any show lor
electing.
EP-POSTMASTEU LAIIKIN'S VIEWS.
E-Postrnaster John 15. Larkin said he
knew little about the straightout movement,
lie added: "I do not think there should be
any ill feeling about the matter. Among
others I favored the selection of a mixed or
non-partisan bench, and the sure Avay to
secure that Avas to defer to the cxpresseel
w ish of the ltepuhlican organization in the
county. The Democrats couhl not elect any
one w ithout the aid of I.epublican votes,
and to secure them Ave hail to be fair, direct
and consistent. As soon as it appeared that
the indorsement of a Democratic judge, by
the liepublican county organization, would
make his election mofe than probable, the
intolerant liepublicans objected and forced
the nomination of three straight liepubli
cans, and they now ask the Democrats of
the countj" to punish the people ivho have
made the election of a Democratic judge
possible. "We have only elected one Demo
eTatic District Attorney during my lifetime,
ami that was under conditions that do not
now exist. It strikes me as bail politic- to
contend for unlikely things and throw away
our chance for that which seems probable.
"We neeil all the judges Ave can get, either
by diplomacy or contest, and the policy of
demanding everything "will likely end" in
getting nothing."
IAAVYEn COMMITTEEMEN UNANIMOUS.
"Those avIio desire the election of a Dem
ocratic Judge should stand by the candi
dates named bv the unanimous A'ote of a
Democratic Convention and indorsed by the
Republican party organization of the county.
The Committee "of Eighteen discussed the
matter thoroughly, and in a spirit of fair
ness, and every attorney on the committee
argued against filling the tickd. or doing
ant thing that might provoke party spirit or
defeat Judge Kennedy. There isno fear of
the result. There are enough fair-minded
men in the county to ratify tho appoint
ments of a manly, courageous GoA-ernor, and
the choice of both party organizations."
Police Judge McKefma said: "Straight
out Democratic meeting? Xcvcr heard of
it."
THE H0BTHSIDE WAR. CLUBS.
They Are Advised to Torsive and Forget
Mr. Barilsley.
A second meeting of the Morrison and
Gregg Atar clubs, of Allegheny, was held
last night in Allegheny Select Council
chamber. The meeting ivas largely at
tended by members of the G. A. 1. and
others, and Avas presided over by Captain
Barbour. It Avas reported that clubs had
been organized in the Second, Third, Fifth,
Sixth, SeA"cnth and Eleventh wards. The
Second Avard delegates reported three clubs
in that Avard with a membership of '.i. each
and the other clubs reported their ranks to
be avcII filled up.
Colonel "W. A. Stone made a short ad
dress in Avhich he urged all old soldiers to
get to work lor the ticket. Colonel Stone
said: "The Democrats tell you not to vote
for Gregg and Morrison because a man
named Bardsley stole a lot of money and
was arrested and sent to prison. It is true
that he was a ltepuhlican, but what of that?
AVIia-, our Lord selected 12 apostles and one
of them went Avrong. Let us forget John
Bardsley and vote and w ork for the soldier
boys At ho carried the flag and Aiore the
blue."
Other addresses were made bv Casper
Miller, Avho sorted in the Sixth U. S. Cav
alry under General Gregg, J. II. Stevenson,
Thomar G. Sample and Captain Barbour.
It was elecided that each club elect three
dcleja'es to iorm a central club.

KUItOPE Tlin Special Cablo Letters to
THi: DISPATCH brine "H the news of Great
Britain and tlis Continent.
PAHK WORK STOPPED.
The Appropriation Has Been Almost
Entirely Used Up in
IlIPROVEMExXTS AND PURCHASES.
Bigelow lias His Doubts, hut the Controller
Says It's True.
SXAP SIIOTS AT NEWS ABOUT THE CITIES
Public park improvements Atill close
until next year. Controller Morrowyester
day discovered that the money set apart for
parks had been almost exhausted, and there
is scarcely enough lelt to feed the animals
at the 5oo. He at once sent Avoril to the
Department of Public "Works. Chief
Iligelow trill to-day doubtless order all
Avork in that line stopped.
This year's appropriation ordinance set
aside S3.'S1.7C3 05 for parks. In September
Slo.OOO was transferred from the public
lighting appropriation to that of parks,
making the entire amount for the latter
5.'U(i,7G.T 05. On figuring np the matter
yesterday the Controller foun d that 534-t,-597
50 of this appropriation had already
been spent, leaving a balance of only ?2,
105 40. This is all that remains to carry on
ivoik at the parks during the remaining
four months of this fiscal year.
The Controller's message was consider
able of a surprise to the Public "Works peo
ple, who had figured on something over
12,000 a et remaining for parks.
TAKEN 1T.OM THE AVIcOXO ACCOUNT.
The difference in calculations was caused
by the charge for a steam road crusher and
several other items, amounting altogether
toMl,000, being taken from the appropria-
"TToii for highways instead of that of parks.
The Controller savs they must go on the
latter.
The heavy expenditures for parks this
year was caused by the payment of large
sums of money for additional land and the
new Schenlcy Park bridge. One of the
largest amounts was ?75,0O0, paid Mrs.
Schenlev for the park entrance. In addi
tion to this Chief Bigelow has made a great
number of improvements in Schenlev and
Highland Parks. This Avas particularly the
case in the former. The construction of
macadamized driveways, miles in extent,
ahout the hills of'Schenley Park, with other
forms of gradingand putting in setters haA"e
required a great deal of money. Chief
Higelotv has economized in this work by
having it done under his own supervision,
saving contractors' profits, and much more
has been accomplished in this way than
Avould have been otherwise. But in
spite of this the money has nearly all been
used and two of the best months in tho
year for such operations, will bo passed
with little additional work.
AU, AVORK MUST CEASE.
"I would adtise," said Controller Mor
row, "that Superintendent of Parks Mc
Knight discharge all his men at once.
There Atill be little more than enough
money left to pay the salary of himself and
one or two others. I am "sorry the situa
tion is such, but there is no help for it.
Park impiovements will haA'e to be aban
doned until nfterthe passage of next vear's
appropriation ordinance."
While this leaves the park improvement
matter in poor shape at present, next year's
outlook is cheery. All the park prdperty
in possession of the city has been paitl for,
and next year's appropriation w ill not have
such a slice taken out of it for the purchase
of land. It can all be devoted to the great
work necessary to put Schenlev Parkin
something like proper shape.
Chief Bigelow ivas interviewed in regard
to th matter at his home last night and was
posith e that the Controller w as mistaken in
his calculations. He said:
THINKS THE CONTKOEI.ER MISTAKEN".
"When the Councils ordered $15,000
transferred from the contingent fund to the
Parks appropriation there tvas a balance of
?9,000, making $24,000 in that appropriation
at that time. The payroll for September is
only in the neighborhood of 511,000, and I
feel reasonably certain there is still from
10,000 to Sl'3,000 left. Of course, I have
not my books at hand and cannot figure ac
curately, but my impression is that the Con
troller has simply made a mistake, because
I feel sure I have it. I think I will be able
to continue work Avith it until the end of
the year. If I am not mistaken there trill
lie sufficient for our work as planned to that
time."

but tvas unsuccessful. About 9:30 o'clock
he was crossing the bridge to go to Jones
avenue. When half way across two men ap
proached him, one of whom asked him for
money to get a drink. This request was re
fused. The two men then grabbed him and
attempted to mrow nun uown. Thev suc
ceeded, but Triekcr regained his feet and
knocked down one of his assailants. The
companion of the latter struck Tricker Aiith
a billy, felling him to the ground, and then
tried to rifle his pockets, but was frightened
by some men w ho appeared. The assailants
niade their escape, but a description of
them Aias giACn by Tricker to the police,
and their arrest is probable.
A Koy Bound to a "Wlieel.

WANTS TO GET BID OF HEB.
Bertha Scblainan Asks Her Im ct to Aban
elou His Daughter.
Julius Sure and Bertha Schlaman, of
South Fourteenth street, At ere lodged in the
Twenty-eighth ward station last e"ening on
charges of disorderly conduct by Officer
Riege. Bertha Schlaman just finished a
sentence of 30 daj s at Chtremont yesterday
for the same charge, and was arrested last
evening while quarreling ahout the same
thing that got her in trouble before. Bertha
Schlaman is Sure's housekeeper. Sure has
a pretty daughter about 18 years old tvho
lives Aiith him. It is said that his house
keeper does not get along A'ery peace
ably tvith her, and as Sure Avants to keep
on the good side of both family matters are
kept pretty lively.
According to the conversation between
the two last eA-ening, tvhicli was overheard
by Sergeant Sitzler, Arhile they Avere in
their cells, Bertha Schleman Avants Sure to
marry her and then get another home for
his ilaughter. This proposition was made
some time ago, but Sine, it seems, refused
to agree to it, and as a consequence they
continue to quarrel over the matter. They
lookeelat their arrest as a pretty serious
matter last night, and tried to effect a com
promise. Being placed in cells a little dis
tance apart, their conversation tvas over
heard, and sometimes it Avas amusing. Sure
would remind her etery little while that it
was her fault they were locked up, and then
she ivould say: ''How much do you think
Ave Avill get?"" Sure would say, "Oh, about
a year." As they appeared to effect a com-
Eromisc it is probable their sentences At ill
e light on the charges of disorderly con
duct. EITROPE The Special Cable Letters to

LOUD HINTS ABOUT CONSOLIDATION
The circus ivhich Avas scheduled to take
place in Allegheny Common Council last
night did not materialize to any great ex
tent. At best it was but a very tame, one
ring affair. The meeting ivas a special one,
called to consider a large number of
ordinances and resolutions referred
from the Select branch. The roost
important of these were the ordinance
granting the Controller's office an additional
clerk and increasing the salary ot the chief
clerk; the ordinance authorizing the trans
fer of 515,000 from the contingent fund to
appropriation No. 11, Bureau of Water, for
Atater extension; and the resolution
that no more street railway franchises
or rights be granted until the
Manchester Company and the
Pleasant Valley Company have made cer
tain concessions to the city. These were all
concurred in and finally adopted by the
Common branch.
A KICK AGAINST CLERK HIRE.
The first ordinance taken up was tho one
regulating the clerical force in the City Con
troller's office. It provides fora chief clerkat
a salary of Si ,,"00 a year and an assistant clerk
at S720 per year.
Mr. Cruikshank was opposed to the or
dinance. He said: "The city is short of
money now, every appropriation has been
cut and there is no money to be expended in
this manner."
Mr. Drum I will not A-ofe to expenda
single dollar that tias not contemplated in
the original appropriation ordinance.
Mr. Cruikshank There are but two men
Avorking on the streets now on account of
the lack of funds, and I am opposed to
diterting Avhat money there may be into
such channels as here contemplated.
The ordinance Atas finally adopted by a
vote of 32 to 12.
The ordinance granting 510,000 to the Al
legheny General Hospital for this and
future years Avas passed.
The resolution for the transfer of 515,000
from the contingent fund to the fnntl for
Abater extension met Avith considerable op
position anil calleel out a A"cry full discus
sion of the city's financial condition. .Sev
eral conflicting and contradictory opinions
as to the purpose and scope of the contin
gent fund were offered.
AVANTS TO HAVn TIIIVGS RIGHT.
Mr. Gcrwig I do not Avish to oppose the
extension of the Atater service, hut Ave
should go about this matter in the right
Atay. I contend that Council has no right
to transfer funds from one appropriation to
another. The appropriation ordinance was
passed and became a law.and this resolution
practically annuls it. It will be said that
this has been the practice for years, but
that docs not make it right. It has
been the practice of certain officials
of this city to conduct their offices
in a very loose and irregular way, but that
is no reason Avhy this should continue.
Councils, in many points, haA'e been as
loose and careless as these officials, and it is
time we should make a change and start
right. This is the first time this point has
been raised. Furthermore, there are not
51.-,000 in the contingent fund. There is an
ordinance to transfer to that fund the 5100,-
000 orS12.",000 of a .surplus recently dis
covered, but this has not yet been done1. I
suggest that aii ordinance be framed trans
ferring to this fund money not othertt ise
appropriated. The present plan is illegal.
Mr. Home I am also opposed to this
ordinance. I do not believe in thus cover
ing up the mistakes of Councils of last
winter, Athen they neglected, for political
and personal reasons, to appropriate suffi
cient money for the needs of the different
departments.
CALLED DOWN BY A COLLEAGUE.
Mr. Stauffer The speech made by the
gentleman from the Third Avard (Gertvig)
sounds very nice, but he has a
very improper eonception of just
tvhat the contingent fund is. At the be
ginning of the year the proper persons
pieet n i th the "Controller, and, from the
amount calculated to be available, parcel
out the funds necessary for the needs of the
different departments. Among them is an
appropriation called "Xo. 0," or the "con
tingent fund," and the purpose of this is to
meet just such contingencies as confront us
now in regard to the Bureau of Water.
Why was this point never raised before?
Mr. Knox agreed Avith Mr. Cierwig, and
asked Controller Brown how much money
remained in the contingent fund out of the
545,000 appropriated.
Controller Brown About 515,000 or 510,
000, but there are several payments for
setter and other improvements to be wade
out of that.
Mr. Henderson There is no emergency
or contingency Athich Avould authorize us to
draw from the contingent fund. At any
rate, ire should go about this thing in a
legal anil regular manner.
Mr. Dahlmgcr I A-oted for this resolu
tion, but now think it ivould be necessary,
to first, by ordinance, transfer the surplus
in the city treasury to the contingent fund.
Anyhow, there is no contingency, so long
as any money remains in the water bureau
appropriation.
NO IMMEDIATE CONTINGENCY.
Mr. Knox There are 644,1)11 80 still re
maining in the water appropriation.
This will be exhausted before the
end of the a ear, but still
there is no immediate contingency. At all
events, the money must he put into the con
tingent fund before you transfer from it.
You can't get blood out of a turnip.
Mr. StaufTer I claim that there is a
contingency. There may be 544,000 in the
Aratcr bureau appropriation, but that part
ofthe appropriation allotted to water ex
tension is completely exhausted. There
is not a cent.
Mr. Paulin thought the ordinance sbould
be passed, as it was necessary to extend the
water service and the Aiorkfor which this
transfer Avas askcel was almost completed.
Mr. Geruig That's the trouble exactly
and shows the loose practices Avhich have
preA"ailed. Contracts are made and At ork
done in anticipation that oidinances will be
passed through necessity of meeting this
expenditure.
Mr. Itudolph moved to lay the resolution
over for one month.
TEAR Or A DISGRACE TO COUNCILS.
Mr. Jsesbit It this resolution is not
passed it will be a elisgrace to Councils.
Mr. Kudolph's motion was lost.
The vote era the final adoption ofthe reso
lution stood ."0 ayes to 13 iioe".
Mr. Xesbit offered a resolution providing
thatCouncilsgrant no more privilegesto any
street railway companies in the city until
they provide a SA'stcm of transfer tickets for
all their lines. The resolution Avas adopted.
The following measures it ere passed final
ly: Itesolntion awarding contract for 125,
000 arc light carbons to the Washington
Carbon Company at 522 per 1,000; awarding
contract for blacksmithing Avork to M.
Doehla & Sons; awarding contract for im
proving roadway on Monument Hill to
Carson & Orr at 53,343 38.
A number of papers tvere presented and
referred to the proper committees. Mr.
Drum presented a resolution suggesting
that a way out of the financial difficulties
of the city without increasing the taxes
ivould be to dispose of some ot the parks,
tvhich, when thickly built up, would in
crease the city's revenues. Some people"
also were willing, to get relief, to con
solidate Avith Pittsburg. In consequence
the resolution provideel that a special eom
mittec of nine be appointed, together with
the Chairmen of the Councils, tvith iustruc-
tions to make a thorough investigation of
these matters, and report to Councils what
methods, in their opinion, should be em
ployed to secure a more economical and
efficient administration of the city govern
ment. The resolution Avas unanimously
adopted.
OTHE AVORI Or THE F.VENI.NO.
Mr. Paulin offered an ordinance transfer
ring 520,000 from fund3 not otherwise ap
propriated to the water extension fund, and
50,000 to the road iund. Several alley
grading and sewer ordinances Avere passed.
The ordinance for a sewer on Walnut street
Avas laid over for correction.

bills and pay rolls. The ordinance to do

tute mast arms tras affirmatively recom

BOSTON, Oct. 2. Special.' Miss Jean

Colonel IJobert Cockran, the millionaire,
has abandoned the gaieties with Athich her
position in society has snrronnded her, and
has entered the Order of the Sisters of
Mercy, being stationed at St. Margaret's
Home in this city. Like Miss Drexel, of
Philadelphia, who gave up her millions to
devote her life to doing good, Miss Cockran
is now an humble worker in the hospital.
She ivas born in Cambridge, Mass., and
was educated at the Content of St. Francis
Xavier. When under the tutelage of the
Sisters she conceiAcd the idea of devoting
her life to charity. Her parents tried in
vain to dissuade her. Miss Cockran is only
20 A'ears old. She is highly accomplisheil,
a good musician and has literary tastes.
She is a blonde, with a mass of curly golden
hair, clustered about her head.
To He Settled To-Day.
The question of ayIio will succeed John
Berlin as Warden of the County Jail will
be settled to-day. The Prison Board Avill
meet at 9 o'clock this morning and hold its
election for ivnrden. There is still some
speculation about the choice,bnt the general
impression is that Inspector McAleese will
be chosen. The Inspector's popularity Avill
be of considerable assistance to him, but his
well-known efficiency in handling criminals
and the thoroughness with Avhich he does
everything he undertakes will prove the
strong cards in his laA-or. Several candi
dates have dropped out, and others are not
considered likely.
