S3f-y CAKING FOE PAUPERS. A Pittsburger's Plan of Relief From the Evils of the Present System. VIEWS OP KOBERT D. M'GOXNIGLE To Be Tut in Practical Form Eefore Toor Directors of the State be rnorosES ax entirely sew law Xext -Wednesday the State Association of Poor Directors will officially notice and discuss The Dispatch's complete ex posure of the evils growing out of the oper ations of the poor law of 183C The organ ization is composed of Poar Directors in not all the counties of Pennsylvania. This is their seventeenth' annual meeting. It will be held at Reading, beginning on Tuesday and lasting until Thursday even ing, llr. Robert D. McGonnigle, of this city, will be one of the delccatcs to repre sent Pittsburg and Allegheny at the con vention. "I have been intensely interested in the articles which The Dispatcii printed this week, showing up the expensiveness and in humanity of the sy-tem still in vogue in many counties, to trust to township over seers the care of the poor," said Mr. 3lc Gonnicle veterday. "Something must cer tainly be done to overthrow the s stem. Enough has alreadv been shown bv The Dispatch to convince people of the wis dom of repealing the act of 1836. I will be in attendance nt the State Convention of Poor Directors, in Reading, next week, and I shall advocate immediate steps for re form. a i-last ron RELinr. "1 am now lormulating a plan which I will get before the convention in the shape of resolutions. It will be for the appoint ment of a committee of six or seven able lawvers to take hold of this subject, review the'testimony taken last year bv the State Commission, "the exposures made by The DisrATrn and the skeleton of a new law suggested by the aforesaid State Commis sion in the "carlv part of the present year: and from them nil to formulate the draft of a new State law that will abolish township oerseers and compel each county to take charge of the poor of all townships, under proper State supervicion "This committee," continued Mr. McGon nigle, "could take ample time and extra care with its work, tor its report need not be presented -until the Poor Directors meet strain in State convention, and that would be in October of lb92. Our association could then discuss the report of the com mittee in all its bearings, and the result would be the draft of a new poor law as Jicarly perfect as it is possible to get one. This could then be introduced in the State Legislature, which would meet in regular session in the following January. OTHElt rLAXS TO come UP. "Besides this plan which I have outlined, the question will be generally considered at Reading next week. Mr. D. S. Brumbaugh, of Blair county, will read a paper, entitled, The Difierent Systems of Caring for the Poor in This Sta"tc ' Mr. Brumbaugh is a gentlemaneonveixint with the inefficiencies of the old pauper system in all its phazes. I have just received" a letter from him, by the way, in which he commends The Dis TATcn articles. They hae set people to thinking all oer the State. "Jmmediatelv preceding Mr. Brum baugh's paper, will be an address bv K. P. Gould, of Trie, on 'The "Work of" the Poor Law Commission ' " Mr- McGonnigle was a member of the State Commission appointed bj Goternor Heaver to codify the poor laws of Pennsyl vania. "When that commission got donifto work they ran against the same obstacle the State Road Commission wasencountcrincat the same time. Like the innumerable hun dreds of laws on roads in this State, tltere were scores and scores of special acts for counties and townships providing for the care of the poor. Hie lack ot uniformity iniolved the com mission in an intricate 11137c, and it was im possible for them to codify anything. Vn flerneath all these special laws were the cumbersome features of the ancient general laws of 1ST(i In taking e idence in various parts of the State on the results of the oper ation of this general law, the rottenness of the entire sjstem was uncfered. THE EVIKEVCE HELD BACK. This evidence,howevcr,was neer printed on account of no appropriation, and the public did not know the startling facts it contained umil The Dishatch gained ac cess to them, and pushed the investigation still farther However, the State Commis sion made in general terms a report to the Governor, recommending the Legislature of last winter to adopt a new law which they submitted. Through the haphazard policy of the last Legislature this new act, although printed and placed on the calendar, was lost sight ot It served a cood purpose, however, in forming a good basis on w hich to for-rulate another law to be presented the next Legis lature. UNDER. THE STATE COXTROI- "I believe the State should have super vision over all the counties when they do establish almshouses," said Mr. McGonni gle. "It need not be a ni w department of totate government, however. At present the State Board ot Charities is required to viit all almshouses once a ver.r. That is not sufficient. Almshouses should be in spected bv State authority at least twice a year, and yet even enco a year is scarcely lis much time now as the State Board of CJnrities can spare "Its present duties the supervision of penitentiaries, jailr, the study of lunacy jmd the almshouses arj too heavy. It cannot do justice to all pf them. 1 should say. continue an our new law the supervision of the Board of Charities oer the almshouses, but let there be appointed under that board a sepa rate chief for the Department of Charity, apart from the penal and medical lines of their work. In Massachusetts the same State Board h is charge of health, lunacy and chanty, but there is a chief, or single liead ofiicer for each. Something after the Fame plan I would advocate for adoption in Pennsylvania." THE HAM" NOT TET TOI.D. Mr. McGouniglc said that, bad as the state of afiairs is which The Dispatch has hown up, the ha.f has not yet been told. He kuows personally of many instances where the oil of the system is appirent. One he mentioned was a pauper whom But ler ccuntv once foisted upon Allegheny City. The city sent him hack to Bntler a"s one" of their "legal inhabitants. He was turned loose on Adams township of that county. Adams township repudiated and drove" him ofl her fcoili making Cranberry township take him Cranberry rebelled, and, at last, after 3 ears of litisation in the courts over this mc pauper, he is given permanent relief in Cranbcrrv township to-day. But u00 at least wis spent in law over his case. His keeping rots less thau $100 a year, so that if the other S500 had been given to him in stead of lawvers l.e would have been able to withdraw, perhaps, from charity circles for good.

ONLY SEVEN MOKE DATS OF THE SHOW AT THE rOINT. Beantlcs of the Art Exhibition Soon to Be Lost to View Another Popular Day Classical Programme Yesterday The Excursion Businesa. One week from to-day the Exposition will close its doors to the public for the season of 1891. There are therefore only six days more in which the people of Pitts burg and elsewhere can view the many in teresting features of the two big halls at the Point. It is to be feared that many visitors to the Exposition have not seen many things that would delight them, simply because thty would not take the trouble to explore. The management has a better art display than has ever been thrown open to the pub lic in this city. The paintings are speci mens of the be'st work ot the artists of Pitts burg and other cities, and the other works of art arc such as please the connoisseur, as well as those who admire pretty objects for their own sake, without knowing much about them from a technical point of view. Yesterday was "classical day," and the programme rendered by the orchestra was a carefully selected one, taking in the works of most of the famous masters. There were popular airs interspersed, so that all tastes were satisfied. This will be "popular dav." It is the last save the closingday of the Ex position, next Saturday. There will be several excursions into the city to-day, and it is safe to say that the popular "Battle of Gettysburg" will be given before one of the largest audiences of the season. fittsbubg gas, coal and coke co. Outlook for Tills Company in the "West Virginia Coal Fields. At this particular time, when the ques tion of gas coal is so important, it is oppor tune to call attention to the capabilities of the company whose name heads this article. Recently incorporated under the laws of "West Virginia, with a capital stock of 5250, 000, thev control 10,000 acres of coal land in the Fairmont coal fields, Marion county, "W. "Va., on the main line of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Facilities of water transportation already exist, aud the con struction of a projected railroad line, only SO miles in length, connecting at Fair chance, Pa., will open up an outlet via the great Pennsylvania Railroad lines. The principal vein of coal worked by this company is a continuation of the Conncllsvillev ein, the coke from which is vv orld renowned. This coal possesses highly volatile properties, thereby insuring its value as a producer of gas. The small amount of phosphorus in coke made from it renders it eminently suitable for use in the Bessemer process of steel making. The coal contained in this company's lands is almost limitless in amount, a con servative estimate placing it at 80,000,000 tons. A large trade has alreadv been established in Chicago for this coke and coal, with bright prospects for extension of the trade in other directions. The attention of investors is called to the inducements offered by this company. The capital stock of 5250,000 is divided into 50,000 shares of S3 each, of which 20,000 shares are offered for subscription, on the following terms: 1 per share on applica tion, 51 per share in 30, 60. 90 and 120 days. For further information apply to Mr. AV. H Ross, Treasurer, 123 bandusky street, Allegheny, who will furnish maps, pros pectus, etc.; or he may be seen at the ex hibit at eat end of Mechanical Hall, where is displayed the largest piece of coal ever mined. Its measurements are 8x5x4 feet, and its weight 13,000 pounds. Tho Bindley Hardware Company. Xo prettier idea could have been imagined for showing the working model of the "lasvn mower" than is found at this exhibit on main floor, whers, upon a simulated lawn, a bisque maiden pushes before her the min iature "lawn mower" which has created so much comment. This exhibit is delightful in every respect; utility, elegance and beautv are combined with rare success. It is a pleasure to watch the revolving sample boards, each filled with specimens of small hardware. The same variety in arrange ment is observable in the cases; in them are found (inclosed in plush cases) beautiful carving Bets for meats, game, etc., the handles of horn, ivory and all available metals; gold, bronze, silver and other met als are employed in knobs, door trim mings, etc Art Portraiture The very high order of the work shown in the B L H. Dahb3 collection in Art Gallery has won for it fullest praise from the people who have constantly gathered about this splendid exhibit. Mr. Dabbs has always had the reputation of being wonderfully successful in catching the sweetest, yet strongest, expressions of the faces of his patrons; combine this with a perfect finish and the evident popularity of liis studios will be understood. Every branch or method of taking the human feat ures in the most artistic manner will be lound included in this superb display. Taylor Bean, 201-3-5 Market Street. The questions of fire escapes, iron shut ters, iron doors, and iron staircases are agi tating the public to-day, now that the sea son has arrived w hen fires are most liable to occur. The beautiful brass and iron grill work, for which Taylor & Dean have received so many orders, seems also to be prominently before the public, and when you consider the other heavy iron manufact ures of this firm there seems to be no ques tion of time about them, for they are always in demand. The wire and lighter iron exhibit has won golden opinions at the Exposition.

News has just reached here of a daring robbery perpe trated upon the National Bank of Enter prise in "Walla "Wall county "Wednesday afternoon. Cashier Holmes was in the bank alone when a man entered and asked how much money John Smith, of Portland, had on deposit. Upon the cashier saying that no such a man had any deposit the visitor drew a pistol, and? covering the cashier, said: ""ou are a liar." At this juncture two confederates came up on horseback, one of them sitting on his horse with a pistol in each hand and warning the people back, while the other entered the bank and poured into a sack all the money on the counter about 53,500. The three men then escaped to the mount ains. A posse is now in pursuit, but as the country is sparsely settled their capture is doubtful.
