HELD FOR MURDER.
Verdict of Hie Coronei's Jury After Inquir
ing Into the Cause of the Death of
Icrcmiah T. Huckley Colored People
Warned to Obey the J.aw.
Coroner McDowell yesterday finished the
iii'iuest in the cac of .Tcrcmiah F. Uuckley,
w ho was killed in a saloon fight in Sharps
burg Saturday night It resulted in Henry
Aden and George Morris being held for
court, the former on a charge of murder and
the latter as an accessory.
There was intense interestmanifestcd in
:hocae. The Coroner's office was tilled
with spectators irom Sharpsburg, the ma
jority of them Iteing colored men. The
"jnurder has stirred up a bitter ieeling in the
Itnrough. Some have become so outspoken
in their threats that Burgess Lloyd lias
found it necessary to isue a peace procla
mation, as act lie will perform to-day.
Coioner McDowell also took occasion to
notify the people who attended the inquest
that th-y would be expected to refrain lrom
r.ny further disturbances over the strike.
He used rather forcible language, coing so
far as to sav that the firtt intimation of any
liiffieulty would be sufficient provocation
tor county officers to put some of them un
tler arrest.
There was little of interest in the inquest
beyond what h.is already been published.
The affidavit of Henry Stein, the hotel pro
prietor, who is still confined to his bed from
the bullet wound in his leg. was submitted.
Mr. bteiu stated he was in his dining room
with hi family when the dispute began.
He heard his ton .lohn say to some one,
"You cannot Lrct any more drinks here,"
jmd then the scuffling began. He ran out to
aist the sou and was shot himself.
.fohn Stein, the son, who was behind the
liar when Aclen and Morris entered, said
the trouble began over his refusal to i;ivc
the men drinks. AVhcn he ordered them
out of the place they threatened him by
rciying there was no one in the lione that
-o'uld put thein out Buckley's only con
nection with the affair was his affirmative
reply to their threat. "When Stein pushed
the men into the sireel, Buckley, who was
eating a snndwitc1-, followed to assist Stein,
who was settiugthe worst of it.
Bntli men flourished revolvers, with the
result already known. This story was cor
roborated by "William Hughes, William
IVwers, lldward Hart man, Jacob Beck and
.tc.eph AVasoner. The arrest of Morris, the
escape of Aclen and his subsequent arrest
while feicning sleep at his boarding house,
were related bv Officers Lawiencj and
"Walla-e.
Dr. (?. IL B. B-obinson and Dr. G. Kelly,
who held the post mortem, submitted their
rejiort. Both defendants were committed
without bail.
.DEIflES THE STORY.
Tinnbroker Stern Bid Not Say He Han
Ileen lllackmsiled.
S. I Stern, the i-mitkfield street pawn
broker, whom Police Superintendent "Weir
has s.ucd for operating without a licence,
was reported jesferday to have made some
serious charges against the police. He was
firediied with saying lie had been forced to rob
his customers because the police robbed
him: that he haa paid a certain member of
the Bureau of PoKce 5100, which was to be
deducted f:om his license fee v.hcr the time
came for payment, and that the police had
reeoered some sroods stolen irom him and
rafnsed to turn them over.
Police Superintendent "Weir, when seen
ah-mt the matter, said. "If Mr. Stern has
jaid money to any member of the bureau,
i i w ill )e only too glad to dicove- who -it
is. and punish him accordingly. But this
sill cot let Mr. Stern otr. He has openly
violated the law by taking jdedges without
a license, and 1 have sued him for that. His
license ran out September SO. and he de
WimHl to take out a new one. Later he
rame around and asked lor a license, oiTer
ing to pav 510J dou a and tiie remaining 100
sifterward. He was told that the full 200
inut be paid before the license could be
iSi-utu. As to the goods stolen from him
and lecovered by the police, we have
nclTk who takes charge of all such things
;iud turns them over to the proper owners
on application. Mr. Stern has nce come
after his goods, and we don't propose to
tarry them to him Magistrate Mclvenna
will attend to his case at the hearing, and
then Chief Blown will decide whether a
violator of the law is the urcper person to
have a new- license."'
When Stern was seen later he said: "The
-tatemcnts put into my mouth are false in
almost every particular I did not say a
nolice official had obtained money from me.
i offered to pav SW0 for a license! asking an
cxtrnsion on the other 5100, but this was rc
tusrd as contrary :o law. J did say that my

Pedro Mouit, the Junta representative
from Chile to this country, was in Pittsburg
yesterday. He was close.ed all day with
officials of the Carnegie Company, and it
-w.vs claimed that he was negotiating for the
purchase of armor plate for navy vessels.
"When asked about the assertion the Chilean
replied that he had come to Pittsburg simply
' to see the sights of the iron citv, ami
that his vi:t had no political significance.
He would ixpress no opinion on the
rumors of var between Chile and the United

"Wc an living peacefully in Chile now,"

MY FOB THE WEST,
Tlico. Doerlinger on Bis Way to
Omaha, Where the Tolice Are
Keeping Sharp Lookout
TO ARREST AND SEND HISI BACK
On
a Warrant for Emoezzlincr Over
Thousand Dollars From the Dex
ter Spring Company.
Six
HIS BONDS ARE SAID TO BE WORTHLESS
Because They Were Not Renewed at the Beginning of
His Second Term.
Theodore Doerflinger has been located in
Omaha, Neb. The police there have been
instructed to arrest him on sight, and he
will probably be brought back to Pittsburg
before many days. Startling developments
came to light yesterday in his case. In ad
dition to the School Board matter he is now
wanted by the Dexter Spring Company for
appropriating a large sum of its money.
T. S. 1'oster, of the latter company,
went before Alderman McMasters yester
day afternoon, and made information
against Doerflinger for the embezzle
ment of 50,233 72. Foster al
leges that Doerflinger appropriated
to his own ttse that amount of money
belonging to the company. Foster is one of
Doerilinger's bondsmen in the sum of 510,
000 for his appearance in the suit of the
Franklin School Board, and he thus has a
double interest in desiring Doerflinfier's
presence. The School Board suit is to come
up before Alderman Mclvenna Thursday.
"When Mr. Foster learned yesterday his
man had disappeared he decided at once to
make the information to protect both him
self and the Dexter Spring Company.
Nowhere to He Found.
A warrant was issued and placed
in the hands of Detective Morris.
It was trencrallv supposed that
the missing mau was at the home of his
uncle, Mr. Heidelberg, about eight miles
back of Hoboken, on the "West Penn Bail
road. The officer started there at once, but
on arriving found his man was not there.
Doerflinger had not been seen about that
neishborhood for six weeks. The de
tective, in spite of these statements,
made a thorough search of the house, but
without avail. Beturning to the city De
tective Morris, with Detective Heiner,
started auother search. They found his
house closed up. -At the drugstore
and neighboring houses he had not been
seen for several days.
In the meantime Mr. Foster had received
a telesram from his brother in Chicago. It
stated that Doerflinger had bee i seen on
iiie streets there, but had taken a train in
the afternoon for Omaha. Detective Heiner
ou learnins of this sent a telegram to the
Omaha police, containing a description of
Doerflinger and asking that he be arrested
if seen. At a late hour lat nieht no an
swer had been received, but one is expected
this morning.
Fears of Slorc Deficits.
The Modern Building and Loan Associa
tion held a special meeting last night, at
their headquarters, in the office of the Pitts
burg Company, Limited, No. 140 Fifth ave
nue, to take action necessary to ascertain
what loss, if any, the association would sus
tain through Doerfiinger's defalcation. The
members of the board only were present.
After the meeting adjourned, Mr. J. E. Mc
Crickart, secretary, being asked what was
done, said-
"The board decided to employ an expert
accountant to go oyer the books of the
association. He will probably get to work
to-day. Asfoon as he is ready to report,
which will probably he Saturday, a meeting
of the stockholders will be called in the
Franklin schoolhouse, where the exact
situation will be explained to
them. The meeting will probably be held
on next Saturday or Monday nfght. "We
do not apprehend any serious loss. No
matter how much of -the association money
Doerflinger may have appropriated, if any,
his bond to us is, tinlike his school bond,
good tor every cent of its face. Besides we
have SJOO in cash as an emergency fund and
$2,500 earnings of the association for the
past quarter, so we are in good shape and
can meet our stockholders with good
grace."'
One of the most startling statements in
connection with the affair heard yesterday
was ?hat Doerilinger's bond, as treasurer of
the Franklin School Board, is not worth
the paper it is written on, and consequently
the board cannot hold his bondsmen for a
cent of the missing inoncy.
The Bond Never Eenewed.
Doerflinger was elected a School Director
several years ago. Ex-Mayor McCallin and
Mrs. Doerflinger, mother of the accused,
went on his bond as Treasurer of the Board
for 57,500. His term expired, and he was
re-elected Director and Treasurer of the
Board. His bond was not renewed and,
according to general opinion, the old bond
is not binding on the second term. It is
understood that McCallin and Mrs. Doer
flinger will resist payment on this ground.
Ex-Mayor McCallin was seen at his resi
dence last night, and verified the above in
so far as it relates to the making of Doer
Cinger's bond. He said the bond had never
been renewed since it was made over three
years ago. Further than that he said it was
not his place to talk
It is also stated that the 55,400 warrant in
favor of Murphy & Hamilton which the
school board claims m.ikes a reduction
of that amount in Doerilinger's defalcation,
will have to be paid in full by the board
and will increase the amount to be made
good considerably. Muiphy & Hamilton
tooK tne contract ot uunuing the new school
house at 120,000. According to a state
ment made by 3Ir. Hamilton, lie has re
ceived ?SO,000 of that amount, less the
55,400 warrant. The board had, bv priv
ilege granted by the court, borrowed 580,
000, for which bonds were issued. The
board issued warrants, from time to time,, in
favor of Murphy & Hamilton, but thev
were civen direct to the Treasurer, and, Mr.
Hamilton states, were held by liim gener
ally for a considerable length of time before
they were turned over to the firm. Then,
in most instances, the warrants had been
changed by Doerflinger, who wrote across
the face of them, "Payable lour months
afterdate."
Hot. He Fell Behind.
Murphy & Hamilton, being in need of
icady money, would "deposit this four
months warrant in their bank as collateral
for a four-months' note upon themselves, not
knowing but that the time of payment had
been fixed by the school board. By the
time the note matured Doerflinger would
always pay the warrant, but in rtie case of
the last warrant, for 55,400, he failed to do
so, and the contractors were compelled to
pay the note themselves. This being the
case, the warrant is still in possession of
the firm, and as it has not beei paid thev
claim the school board must pay it if there
is anything in the law to make them do so.
Alexander "Wallace yesterday filed two
petitions in the Orphans' Court. One
asked for the removal of Theodore Doer
flinger as administrator of the estate of his
father, John Wallace, and the other that he
be compelled to file an account It is stated
that John Wallace died December 31, 1881,
leaving a widow and six children.
Executors were named in his will,
but they resigned, and in May,
1891, Theodore Doerflinger was ap
pointed administrator. In August, 1891,
he sold for the estate apiece of property in
the Eighth ward for 59.400. Though he
frequently promised to file an account and
made repeated appointments ho has since
neglected and refused to do so. This was the
only transaction made for the estate, Cita
THE PITTSBURG-
tions were issued for Doerflinger to make
answer returnable November 4.
A SAD BUT KNOTTY CASE.
Chlcl Elliot Undecided "Whether a Baby at
the Poor Farm Is a Pauper or Not
Mrs. Mary Mullen, the pauper immigrant,
who has gained some notoriety because
Chief Elliot intended sending her back to
Ireland, died yesterday jnorning. On arriv
ing in Pittsburg she applied to the Depart
ment of Charities for admission to the Poor
Farm, but this was refused her after she
told how she reached America. She secured
a temporary home with a friend on Browns
ville avenue, Southside. Chief Elliot at
once began legal steps to have the woman
returned to her old home in Ireland.
In the meantime the woman became a
mother, and was seriously ill. Her friends
lefused to do anything for her, and not
withstanding that the step was illegal, Chief
Elliot, out of humanity's sake, ordered the
baby sent to the PoorFarm, and a physician
to attend the woman, thinking that she
would recover soon, and then both she and
her child could be sent back to Ireland,
where they belong. ,
Instead of getting better, Mrs. Mullen
became worse, and eank slowly, until yes
terday morning death ended" her suffer
ings. Now Chief Elliot has the child on
his hands, and is undecided as to whether it
is a pauper immigrant or not. According
to law it is not, but he can't see how he can
keep the child at the farm and make the
city pay for raising it. For the present the
baby will remain at the Poor Farm at the
city's expense until the matter can be
looked up further.
CUTTING DOWN SPACE.
A New West "Virginia Itaiiroad That Will
Benefit Pittsburg.
Thomas P. Grasty, in an article in the
Jfamifacturcrs' ficeord, describes fully the
proposed line of railroad between Pittsburg
and Covington, W. Ya., via Uniontown.
He states that the new system of railroads
will bring Pittsburg 200 miles closer to the
Virginia mining region than heretofore.
When completed, he bays a ride of 40 miles
will take Pittsburg people through a fairly
improved country, whose little farms are
like islands iu an ocean of timber.
One of the important towns on the route
he mentions is Sutton, on Elk river, a
stream which he describes ns being of an
average width of 300 feet, and which is so
free from rocks and other obstructions as to
form a natural float road for the timber
region above for over 800 square miles.
Sent to Altoona bj Chief Elliott.
Mrs. Kate Wood, of Altoona, was sent to
her home yesterday by the Department of
Charities. On Saturday Mrs. Ward and a
male companion were arrested on Penn ave
nue for disorderly conduct. At the hear
ing Sunday before Magistrate McKenna,
the man paid a fine of 55 and the woman
was sent 30 days to the workhouse. AVhen
taken to the workhouse the officials refused
to receive her on the grounds that she was
insane. She was brought back to the city,
and Agent Dean took her to the office of
Chief Bigelow to get her a permit to the
Poor Farm. She was there recognized as a
former inmate who had been sent to Dix
mont. It was known that she was a widow
with two children, with friends in Altoona,
who were informed of her whereabouts.
They agreed to take her, and she was given
a ticket to that place and put on the cars
yesterday.
An Officer's Son Implicated.
H. B. Powers, a resident of Youngstown,
reported at the police headquarters yester
day that he had been assaulted by three
men on Liberty street yesterday morning,
and they had robljed him of a 520 gold ring
and made an effort to steal his watch also,
having broken the chain in their endeavor
to pull it out of his pocket. Detective Fitz
gerald started out on the case,and last night
arrested Isaac Eosenblatt, a son of Police
Officer Eosenblatt, as one of the thieves. At
the Central station the prisoner denied be
ing a principal in the affair, and blamed the
robbery oh two companions, George Will
iams and a man named Robinson, who lives
in Allegheny. Neither of the men were ar
rested, but lJoth will be captured to-day.
Three Charges Against Him.
James Black, aged 19 years, was arrested
last evening by Officer Scott and locked up
in thi Eleventh ward to answer three
charges preferred by Mrs. Mary Barnes, of
Townsend street, who charges him with
larceny, assault and battery and disorderly
conduct. Mrs. Barnes alleges that she left
Black in charge of her house for several
days last week, and when she returned
Black had sold most of her household goods
and pocketed the money. Yesterday Mrs.
Barnes met Black in front of her house and
asked him for the money he had received
for the goods. He said he knew nothing
about the money or goods. This angered
Mrs. Black and she called him several bad
names. Black then struck her and later
threw stones at the windows of the house.
Tso Spooks at Enlow Station.
Some person has started a report in a
Mansfield paper that there is a spook, or
some other intangible agent, working mis
chief on a road near Enlow station, Mon
tour Eailway, and that Conductor Harry
Weir and Win Logan arc afraid to travel it.
They say the report is a malicious lie in
tended to hurt the value of property there
abouts. It is held by the propertyholders
that all the spirits known in that prohibi
tion region arc grossly material, and that
the devotees at their shrine are the only
ones that see ghosts.
Changing Officers About.
Police Superintendent Weir has put an
other of his new rules into cflect. Last
night he issued an order for Inspeptor Sil
vis and Captain Unterbaum to move to the
East End and confine their operations to
that district. Inspector Whitehouse and
Captain Brophy were put on duty in the
down town district Changes of his sort
will be made at frequent intervals among all
the superior officers of the bureau.

DISPATCH, TUESDAY,
WANT CITY AUDITORS.
Mr. 0'Donnell Introduces an Ordi
nance to Have a Committee
WATCH THE BOOKS OP OFFICIALS.
The Use of Coal on Engines With Smoke
Consumers fcot Granted.
L1YELY WEAKGLE OYER A CLERKSHIF
At yesterday's meeting of Councils the
first step toward the. adoption of smoke con
sumers was taken by the passage in Select
Council of an ordinance authorizing the use
of coal in locomotives, provided smok con
sumers are used. The ordinance failed to
passed the Common branch. There was a
prolonged discussion in Common Council
over the salary of the clerk of the Board of
Viewers, a resolution having been pre
sented creating that position. The Phila
delphia Company's bill for fuel furnished
to the Brilliant pumping station was the
cause of some little talk in Select Council,
and the matter is not settled yet.
But the most important matter brought
up in either branch was an ordinance pre
sented by Mr. O'Donnell in Common Coun
cil providing for the appointment of an
Auditing Committee that Bhall be em
powered to audit the accounts of any
official or employe of the city as often as
the committee thinks it ought to be done.
There has been talk of something of this
kind being done in the city for several
weeks and a considerable space in the news
papers has been devoted to the subject,
whether such a step was necessary and how
it could best be accomplished, and conse
quently but little surprise was exhibited by
Common Councilmen when the title of Mr.
O'Donnell's ordinance became known.
KATUEE OP THE ORDINANCE.
The text of the ordinance follows:
An ordinance creating a standing audit
ing committee, to be appointed by the Presi
dents of Select and Common Councils re
spectively and definine its duties.
First It shall bo the duty of the Presi
dents of Select and Common Councils at the
first regular meeting of Councils in April,
1S92, after the organization thereof, and In
every second year thereafter to appoint
from thn mnmhnisa nf Select and Common
Councils a standing auditing committee of
nine members, four of whom shall bo mem
bers of Select and live of Common Council.
It shall be the duty of said committee to
audit all books and accounts of the city and
of any department, cleik or employe of the
city in which monetary matters, receipts
and expenditures aie recorded, at least
once in each vear 'and oftener, if tho com
mittee shall deem it advisable. "The said
committee shall have power to employ ex
pert accountants if they deem it necessary.
Ainaioritv of the members of said com
mittee shall constitute a quorum for the
-transaction of business, and the said com
mittee shall make its reports to Common
Council.
DOJf'T I,IKE THE IDEA.
A number of councilmen V.-cre inter
viewed as to their opinion of the ordinance,
and several of them expressed disapproval
of such a law. They said Controller Mor
row was an auditor of all city finances, and
while such a careful, competent man was in
charge no necessity exists for any additional
city legislation.
Controller Morrow said: "I have no ob
jections to the passage of such an ordinance.
Too many safeguards cannot be placed
around the expenditure of the people's
money."
Chief Bigelow remarked: "That ordinance
will be illegal if passed. You can't vest
that power in a committee of councils."
BIACKHOBE MAY GET IT.
ANewSl.SOOCIerUshlpto Be Created for
the Board of Viewers.
The liveliest breeze of the day was cre
ated when Mr. Magee presented in Com
mon Council a resolution from the Finance
Committee providing for the creation of a
clerk to the Board of Viewers at au annual
salary of ?2,500, it being understood that he
would act as clerk to all the viewers ap
pointed by the court on city improvements.
Mr. Wright Would it be possible for
one clerk to do all that work? There are
now 14 Boards of Viewers in existence and
prospect of more.
Mr. Magee While the number of boards
is much larger, the work to be done by the
clerk will practically be the 6ame as under
the old system of viewers, where one board
did nearly as much w ork in a given time as
the present viewers do.
Mr. Wright Well, if that is the case,
why would not the old salary of 51,800 a
year be enough for the clerk?
Mr. Wilson I would offer an amendment
fixing the salary at $1,800.
Mr. Magee The gentlemen do not seem
to understand the nature of this work.
There is a great deal of work to do, a man
of considerable experience and knowledge
of the city is required, and it would be a
great mistake to put in a low salaried man.
It's worth all of 52,500 a year.
Mr. Wilson I believe a good man can be
secured for 51,800 a year, and there is no
necessity for paying more.
A, number of "other members took part in
the diseussion and continued it for a long
time, and when the question came to a vote
there was another amendment fixing the
salary at 51,500 to be voted upon. The lat
ter was voted down, however, and the reso
lution was adopted with the salary at 51,800.
It is generally understood the new posi
tion is ior ex-Chief of Police Blackmore,
who held the same place under the old
Board of Viewers, and who has abilities
and knowledge peculiarly adapting him to
the work.
DEP0SIT0KIES SELECTED.
A Number of Ordinances for Sewers on
New Streets Adopted.
In Common Council Mr. Magee, from the
Finance Committee, reported that the com
mittee had selected the Allegheny National
Bank, the Farmers' Deposit National Bank,
the First National Bank and-the Freehold
Bank as the city depositories; each bank is
to give bond in the sum of 5100,000. The
report was approved in both brandies.
Mr. Magee further presented resolutions
refunding 590 to George Morris and 57 75 to
Elizabeth McKeever, being overpaid taxes,
which were also approved.
A communication was read from the Car
negie Library trustees thanking Councils
for authorizing the erection of library build
ings on the Schenley Park entrance. The
paper was filed.
The report of Chief Bigelow, of the De
partment of Works, for September was
read. The expenditures were 5144,080 31,
leaving 5573,586 06 in the appropriation.
The number of employes in the department
was 806.
Mr. Ferguson, from the Committee on
Public Works, presented ordinances for
sewers, as follows, all of which were passed:
Kenfrew street, Bosencrans and Hughes
streets, Cedar street, Spring alley, Fifth ave
nue, Foibes street, Slorewood avenue, Ann

Orwell street, Itosina alley, Corday alley I
OCTOBER 37, 1891.
and Woodlawn avenue, all of which were
passed.
Mr. O'Donnell, from the special commit
tee on the Thirty-third street switch, asked
for by S." E. Warren, reported against grant
ing the switch, on the ground that the build
ing of a switch on Thirty-third street would
be an injury, and the location of a coal yard
at Thirty-third street would be a public
nuisance. He moved to indefinitely post
pone action on the ordinance. There was,
considerable objection to this course, but
the motion to indefinitely postpone was
carried by a vote of 2G ayes to 10 noes.
The Phifadclphla Company's Bill Again.
The bill of the Philadelphia Company for
gas furnished to the Brilliant pumping sta
tion, which had such a rocky road to travel
in Common Council, was introduced in Se
lect by Mr. Keating, who presented a state
ment trom the Finance Committee showing
the city's indebtedness to the company to
be 512,650 7a Mr. Gillespie presented a
statement also on the same matter, submit
ted by the Bureau of Water Supply and Dis
tribution. The latter showed the indebt
edness to be 522,977 14. The schedule,
as made out, included the period
extending from March 1 to September 3.
The total fuel consumed in that time
amounted to 541,451 55, from which a de
duction of 518,474 36 was made, the latter
amount being paid for coal and firemen's
wages and cash credits, leaving the balance
ot fxv.iri l-t as stated. Mr. Keating moved
to refer the statements back to the Finance
Committee, that the Controller might ad
just the apparent differences, which was
done.
Smote Consumers for Locomotives.
Select CouncilmanTtobertsou's ordinance
giving railroads permission to burn coal on
locomotives within the city limits, pro
vided smoke consumers were attached, was
called up by Mr. Keating in the Select
branch. There seeming to be no opposition
to the measure, Mr. Keating said: "Legis
lation similar to this and bearing in the
same direction has already been passed by
Councils, some of it many years ago, but
it is practically inoperative by the
sufferance of the people. I do not
see how a consumer could be at
tached to the machinery of a locomotive
on arrival at the city limits when coming
from another town, but at the same time I
favor the passage of this measure by Coun
cils, and letting the remedy.be enforced by
the proper authorities." The ordinance was
unanimously passed by Select Council, but
when it reached the Common branch was
held over because a majority opposed its
consideration.
The New Ordinances Offered.
New business presented and referred to
the proper committees' was as follows: In
Common Council Ordinances for sewers on
Basin alley, Washington and Fountain
streets, on Fifth avenue from Dithridge
street to St. Pierre street; for opening Ber
thand street,Bellefield avenue, and Winslow
street; for relocating Evaline street; for re
establishing the grade of Cassctt street; for
vacating a portion of Fairfield street.
In Select Council Petitions for sewers
on Exchange alley, Coral and Fairmount
streets; ordinance for the opening of Blair
street from Lowry street to Hazelwood
avenue; ordinance for a sewer on Carey
alley; petition for a fire plug on Boggs ave
nue, and for a sewer on Neptune street.
Street Cars Banning Too Fast.
In the Select branch a resolution was
presented by Dr. McCord and adopted,
calling the attention of the Chief of the
Department of Public Safety to the high
rate of speed of the Birmingham street
cars. Reports of the Departments of Pub
lic Safety AVorks and Charities were read
and approved. A resolution providing for
518 for a doctor's bill incurred in attending
the injuries sustained by two boys whose
heads were cut by a falling wire when a fire
alarm wire was being repaired, was adopted.
SLASHED WITH A KNIFE.
A Bartender Attacks a Walter and Cut! His
Arm Severely.
A cutting aflray that was almost of a fatal
character occurred in the East End last
night. James Hardy, a bartender for Cap
tain Nichols, and George Baughman, a
waiter in McKelvy's restaurant, met in a
saloon on Frankstown avenne and had some
words over a suit before Magistrate Hynd
man, in which Baughman was defendant
and Albert Smith, a friend of Hardy's, the
prosecutor. Angry words led to blows, and
Hardy knocked Baughman down.
He then ran to the restaurant portion of
the house, and seizing a large breadknife,
darted out of the saloon after Baughman,
who by this time had started to run. The
chase down station street was a fast one.
Hardy gained on Baughman until McKel
vy's place was reached. Hardy tried to es
cape by dodging into the restaurant, but as
he did so Baughman slashed him across the
arm with the knife, cutting the muscle and
several arteries. Two other, wounds were
inflicted in the back, and one on the right
hand, received in attempting to ward off the
blow. Detective Gumbert said he believed
if he had not caught Hardy when he di3 the
latter would have killed Baughman.
Hardy was locked up and Baughman was
placed under the care of Dr. Catchart.

NEEDED MORE WATER MONEY.
Allegheny Finance Committee Increases the
Appropriation to 850,009 Conncilmen
Want to Know H StroS Kailn ay Com
panies Have raid All Their Taxes.
The Finance Committee of Allegheny
met last night. Every member was present.
The first ordinance taken up was for the
transfer of 520,000 from an appropriated
fund to the Bureau on water.. A short dis
cussion on this subject brought out the fact
that the appropriation of this Bureau was
short of whfet it would take to run it this
year. CliHtfEhlers, who was present, stated
that the iyoney had been eaten up by various
expenditures that were nnlpoked for when
theappropriation was made. It was finally
decided to increase the amount to f50,000,
and the Chief was given to understand that
this amount would have to last until March,
when the new appropriations will be ms.de.
The petition of the National Christian
Association to be exonerated from 575 for
the rental of Carnegie Hall was granted.
Resolutions for the transfer of 518,000
from the sinking fund to the
Bureau of Police; 56,000 to the Bureau of
Streets and Sewers, and 56,000 to the De
partment on Iloads were affirmatively rec
ommended. An ordinance giving all fees
collected from the county by detectives to
them was also affirmatively recommended.
A resolution for the payment of 51,000 to
James McAfee, for the removal of buildings
to make room for the Spruce street viaduct,
was referred to a sub-committee.
A little strife was stirred up when the
work of a sub-committee on the question of
tax on street railway dividends was called
up. Mr. Gilliford thought the Finauce
Committee had nothing to do with the mat
ter, and that it belonged to the Auditing
Co'mmittee. Arthur Kennedy claimed that
it was strictly the duty of the'Finance Com
mittee to atftnd to such matter". The Audit
ing Committee's duty was to examine and
audit the books, and if any shortages
were found, their duty was to report to the
Finance Committee, and the duty of the Fi
nance Committee was to try to collect the
amount. Mr. Kennedy moved that the
City Solicitor be requested to report in
writing as to whether the Pleasant Valley
or the Pittsburg, Allegheny and Manches
ter Company owed the city any taxes upon,
the increase of capital stock, and it it could
be collectrd.
Mr. Gilliford raised the point that the
entire matter was in the hands of the Audit
ing Committee.
Mr. Dahlinger stated that the sub-committee
had before it a resolntion passed by
Councils which covered the matter intendeil
by Mr. Kennedy. Mr. Kennedy then with
drew his motion, and stated that he would
like to see the matter pushed and find
out if the street railway companies
were indebted to the city or not.
It was about time that the ' matter was
settled definitely as to whether the street
railroads were indebted to the city or not.
A Good Road-Making Record.
A. W. McDonald, of Steubenville, late of
this county, says he is about finishing this
season's work of pike building, having built
53 miles on different roads leading out of
Steubenville. Ohio people know the value
of good Toads, but Allegheny county still
appears to be willing to waste 5150,000 a
year on the old plan. Even Stowe town
ship, within sight of the city, is putting
sandstone dormcks on its principal road,
and they are fully half as large as a man's
head. The stoning furnishes employment,
and there is one other consolation they
will soon be ground up and washed off the
road, which will furnish more employment.
Trled to Shoot an Officer.
Albert McCoy and Albert Mason, of
Sharpsburg, both colored, assaulted an un
known white man on Twenty-eighth street
yesterday. Officer Thompson ran to his as
sistance and tried to arrest both men. Mason
fired a revolver at him, but missed him.
McCoy was locked up, but Mason escaped.
