Charles Herman, who lives a few miles
from Salt Lake City, stopped over in Pitts
burg yesterday to see the city.- A Dis
patch man met him in a downtown office
in the afternoon. He had 1 pood deal to
say about the Mormons Though Canon
and some of the other leaders have bowed
k to the will 1 1 the inevitable and have ex
pressed a willingness to observe the laws,
the great body of Mormons are defiant and
not yet subdued.
"The escheat of the Gardo House and
Fome of the valuable property in Brig
ham Young's estate, under the law
of 1S64, has mado the Mormons
very sore," said Mr. Herman. "I
understand the colony which they
have started in Northern Xew Mexico is
flourishing, and I think in course of time
the faithful of the sect will migrate there
from Utah. The decision of the escheat
was a severe blow to the saints, and it has
convinced them that their property is not
safe in the United States as long as they
adhere to their religious views. It is
charged by the Gentiles that polygamy is
still in vogue, but it is kept so well under
cover that no case has come under my per
sonal observation. The Mormons are strong
in the territory, and they control its politics.
Salt Lake City is in the hands of the Gen
tiles, but their margin is so narrow that it
will probably be wiped out in the next elec
tion. The Mormons are an industrious
class, and were it not for their abominable
beliefs they would be very desirable citi
rens." The conversation then drifted to the
great Salton lake whicli formed last sum
mer in the Colorado desert Scientists have
concluded that it has come to stay and will
form another inland sea. All Eorts of
theories have been advanced to account for
Salt Lake. The one generally accepted is
that it is a part of the Pacific" Ocean which
was cut off bv an npheaval of strata in a
former age. Mr. Herman advances the ex
planation that the lake was formed like the
one in Southwestern Colorado. It is fed by
internal waters, and he claims it is too far
away from the ocean to make the Pacific
theory sound reasonable. A number of
salt works are now being erected around
the lake. The water is so briny that
a great deal of chloride of sodium is
produced. It makes a first-class article for
rough purposes, and the plants are paying
investments.
The lake furnishes one of the best bath
ing grounds in the United States, but it is
hard to reach in the hot weather. A rail
road runs from Salt Lake City to a pofht on
the lake, but so far the resort has not
proved a great success.
TOO MUCH FBUIX THIS TEAS.
o Profit in the Business for Dealers or
Growers Good Crop or Orange.
"This has been a remarkable year for
fruit," saidTony Barcky last evening, "but
it has been unsatisfactory to dealers and
growers. Since I have been in the business
the crop has never been so large. There
was too much. Those who owned orchards
a few miles from railroads didn't make
enough money to pav for propping up the
trees, while the growers close to the
fetation who had little hauling to do were
glad if they made the freight on shipments.
There was a little money in choice packages,
but nothing for common fruit Grapes were
sold in 2fcw York State for 15 cents a basket.
We sold them here for that price, but at
such a rate there is no profit in the business.
Now all the Xew York grapes are frost bit
ten, and the growers must get what they
can for them. This is why grapes are so
cheap at the opening of winter. Peaches
were plentiful, but very unsatisfactory. It
was too wet while the crop was maturing,
and the peaches were watery. Housewives
complained a good deal about the quality.
The California fruit men were sharp. Thev
held their stock and dried it lor the can
ncrs. "Oranees have not been so cheap for ten
years. The crop is heavy, but the fruit is
very small. Several years ago the Florida
growers turned their attention to producing
large organges. The size was satisfactory,
but the covering was thick and the pulp
dry. Then they trimmed the.trees to raise
smaller, but juicier oranges. The result is
they are now under size, and there is more
dissatisfaction. They pruned awav too
much."
AH ENGINBEE'S PBEMONITIOIT.
Ho Side-Tracks His Train and Tims Avoids
a Collision.
A telegraph operator on one of the single
track roads leading out of Pittsburg had au
experience last week that will last him a
life-time. The young man become careless,
as dispatchers sometimes will, and he gave
orders for a freight and passenger train,
moving in opposite directions, to go to a
certain station. When the trains had
started, the operator suddenly remembered
that they couldn't reach the place without
a collision. It was too late to countermand
the order, and in his agony cold drops of
pcrsriiration ran down over" his face. In de
scribing his feelings afterward, he
said he lived years in the few
short minutes which would decide the
fate of the trains. He was' startled and re.
lieved by seeing the engineer of the freight
walk, into the tower. The engineer had re
ceived his orders, but when he reached a
switch he had a premonition there was
f oraething wrong, and he turned in on the
side track. His train was scarcely out of
the way when the express thundered by.
The next dav the operator went to the
superintendent of the road, and told him
what had happened, at the same time hand
ing in his resignation. The manager looked
at him for a moment, and then said: "Go
back to your work, my boy. This experi
ence has been a lesson for you. I don't
think it will occur in the future."
The telegrapher, in telling the story, re
marked that another such fright would drive
him crazy. He added that this is only a
sample of what narrow escapes people have
on railroads. "There is something in luck,
but few understand how intelligent train
men often avert disasters.

CAMPBELL NOT CAST DOWH.
Mr. Jones Predicts a Better and Higher
Place for the Governor.
Henry Jones, of Washington, was one of
the few Democrats who helped Governor
Campbell to fight his battles in Ohio. He
was in the city on Friday returning to the
Capital. "The Governor is a remarkable
man," he said. "They say Horace Greeley
died of a broken heart, because he was de
feated for the Presidency, but it would take
more than that to kill Campbell. When I
left him yesterday morning in Columbus,
you never would have known that he had
buffered a knockout He was bright and
cheerful, and all the pangs, if he ever had
any, had disappeared. Tou can't
keep the Governor down, and the country
will hear from him( in the future. He is
yet sure to occupy a high place in the
nation. But I must say that I never saw a
man recover from the eflects of disaster so
quickly."
Before the election Mr. Campbell said if
he was beaten for Governor he Knew there
was nothing further in store for him. On
the contrary, the luke-warm support offered
hira by Virgil P. Kline, Martin Foran and
Tom Johnson, of Cleveland, Keal, Kemelin
and the rest, and the jealousy of the lead
ing Prcsidental candidates, has earned tor
him the sympathy of the people at large.
Many Democrats think that Campbell is
stronger than he ever was. George A
Jenks predicts that he will some day occupy
a Cabinet position.
WIDENEK PLEADS IGKOBAHCE.
Owners of the. Pittshurc Traction
Boad
Deny the Consolidation Story.
P. A B. Widener and W. L. Elkins, of
Philadelphia,. arrived in the city last even
ing on the limited. They were accompanied
by President George W. Elkins, of the
Pittsburg traction road, and a third gentle
man, who represents the Kemble estate.
Mr. Widener is fresh from Europe, and
it has been frequently stated that
as soon as he returned the expected con
solidation of the Duquesne and Fifth ave
nue lines would take place. When Presi
dent Elkins was tackled for the latest in the
alleged deal he turned the reporter over to
Mr. Widener, whom he said was the one
authorized to speak for the company.
Mr. Widener was asked bluntly when
the roads would be consolidated. He re
plied Irankly that it was news to him.
This was the first time he had heard
about it, and he didn't think there is any-
tmng in tee report ie said He had come
here to attend the annual meeting of the
Pittsburg Traction road to-morrow and to
inspect the line. He will remain for several
days. He remarked casually that he had
enjoyed his trip to Europe, and then the
party disappeared into carriages that were
waiting for them. They engaged rooms at
the Anderson, but they didn't go there
from the depot It was rumored they held
a conference with C L. Magee late last
evening, but this is denied.
Among the stories floating around yester
day was one that Mr. Magee had given
orders to the Duquesne men to have the
road in gondorder on Sunday, as he had a
party of friends to take over the line. This
report could not be verified.
Some Decorum Among Birds.
In the Italian colony, back of the Du
quesne Hotel, one of the inhabitants keeps
a lot of corn on a flat roof to feed the spar
rows and pigeons. The latterare verv dainty
creatures, and they refuse to eat while any
of the sparrows are around. A guest of the
hotel watched the birds enjoying a dinner
the other day. As a rule sparrows are very
pugnacious and selfish, but when the
pigeons lighted on the roof to receive their
share the little fellows gracefully retired in
their favor. The sparrows and pigeons seemed
to take their turns alternately at the food,
and strange to say there wasn't the slightest
janglisg between them.
The Cricket Back in His Home,
One of the curiosities of the Anderson
Hotel is the cricket that chirps in the ele
vator. During the flood last winter the
little fellow was washed out of his home,
but he turned np after several days in
another part of the house. Then he slowlv
moved his house from point to point until
he reached his old home in the elevator.
He has been there now for several months,
and evidently was glad to get back as his
song has been sharper and merrier ever
since. The little lenow is well ted, bnt
nobody in the house has seen him. His
music' is the only thing that reveals his
presence.
Wilhelm Wants to Seo the Fair. .
Herr Mollheimer, a German iron man,
spent yesterday visiting the local mills. He
is bound for Chicago to secure space at the
World's Fair for an exhibit He believes
Pittsburg is the greatest industrial center
in the world. He says Emperor Wilhelm
is thinking of visiting the fair, and if the
condition of Europe will permit him, the
German ruler would like to make a tour of
America.

Vlewlns Carnesrlo library Plans.
The visitors to the exhibition of plans for
the Carnegie Library continue to take zreat
interest in the display. A large number of
citizens visited the room yesterday, and the
critical way in which they examine all the
designs shows that Pittsburg's citizens are
taking an active interest in the proposed
building. The man in charge of the plans
stated yesterday that a number of archi
tects spend nearly all their time examining
the exhibition, and that they all express
admiration for the work. A great many
ladies have called and are found to be the
most critical in expressing opinions.

WHAT MR. PRICE SAYS.
He Knocks Several Charges Against
Wyman and Murphy.
EVERYTHING SHOWN IN THE BOOKS
Some
Inside Facts About the Fooling
Privileges of Allegheny.
THE TWO CHIEFS GITE THEIR TIEWS
Pending the meeting of the Auditing
Committee of Allegheny's finances, which
occurs to-morrow night, much interest is
taken by citizens on both sides of the river.
Many charges of corruption have been,
made against Mayor Wyman and Chief
Murphy, all of which these dignitaries deny
and sav ample proof can be shown which
will fully exonorate them from any mal
feasance in office as charged.
One point in question -which has given
rise to talk is the discrimination shown to
managers of different attractions as regards
licenses. In this connection H. O. Price,
the former well-known pool seller, makes a
very opportune and positive statement
He, with E..IL Gasper and several others,
owned what was called the "Summer
Theater" at Exposition Park several years
ago.
He states that Louis Koerner, who has
said that he was superintendent of the
park, was not in that capacity, he being
only In charge of laborers and general
utility man.
John A Ellsler was the sole manager of
the Summer Theater. Koerner had charge
only in the winter time when the park was
closed. In his affidavit Mr. Koerner says
that he paid $25 a day rent, with a grand
total of 510,800.
Price Takes In Amusement Prlvlleces.
To this Mr. Price" takes exception, and
says Koerner had nothing whatever to do
with paying the license. "When starting
the theater," said Mr. Price, "we had some
dispute with Mayor Wyman, he claiming
that as we were going to sell liquors the li
cense would be $30. We thought this was
wrong, and only a theatrical license was to
be imposed upon us. We had a regular
liquor license, and after an explanation to
Mayor Wvman everything was arranged
satisfactorilv with him, we agreeingto pay?5
a day rent Barnum's and Forepaugh's shows
paid 500 per day to us for rental privi
leges, but paid to the city the regular
licenses lor such shows. The Buffalo Bill
concern was not classed as a circus and Mr.
Cody himself explained the difference satis
factorily to the authorities and he was only
charged the license as a common every-day
exhibition, which was ?5. The ordinances
governing such matters will show the rea
son. Mr. Koerner has figured quite promi
nently in this matter, and needlessly, be
cause he was only a figurehead."
In regard to the wheel of fortune privi
lege which Mr. Koerner claims to have paid
money for, Mr. Price said:
"If Mr. Koerner paid any money to
Mayor Wyman or Chief Murphy for -the
privilege, as stated in his affidavit, he did
not get it from H. O. Price & Co. This was
rented to Charles Hurlickj'and no one ever
had the same privilege while H. O. Price &
Co. had the lease of the Exposition
grounds."
Did Not Pnt Up to Bun a Wheel.
Mr. Price denies ever paying Mayor Wy
man or Chief Murphy for the privilege of
running a wheel. "Did you ever visit Mayor
Wyman, Mr. Price, in behalf of Mr.
Koerner, for Chief of Police?" asked the
reporter. .
"Yes. About February, 1890, two gentle
men called at my place of business in
Cleveland. I was in Chicago at the time.
They left their names as James Bradley and
John Hendricks, and I think left word
for tne to come to Allegheny City
as they wanted to see me on business.
I did not see them then, but received a
telegram from Bradley, asking me to come
to Allegheny, and that he would pay my
expenses. I "came on and met Mr. Bradley,
who intioduced me to J. B. Stayton. Im
mediately afterward they asked me if I did
not know of some crookedness about Mayor
Wyman receiving money for a wheel of for
tune privilege. I told them there was not
a word of truth in it. Mr. Koerner met me
afterward and asked me if I would not cro
over and see Mr. Wyman, saying that J
mignt influence the coming Mayor in giving
him a good position. This I positively re
fused to do then. He, however, insisted
upon me to such an extent that I consented
to go and see Mr. Wyman and do what I
could for him.
Once Tried to Gnt a Privilege.
"He and I wnt to Mr. Wyman's resi
dence together, but Koernerdid not wish to
be seen by Mr. Wyman, who, by the way,
was sick in bed. Mr. Koerner, upon my
request to go up and see him, personally re
fused to do so. I then went up with my
story and request and Mr. Wyman told me
very plainly that he coyld make no prom
ises before the election. Notwithstanding
this I thought Mr. Wyman felt kindly
toward Jut. itoerner ana nis position was
assured. I positively state that I never
asked Mr. Wyman to appoint Koerner
Chief of Police."
Mayor Wyman was seen at his home, and
the above statement'by Mr. Price was told
him. He corroborated it in every particu
lar, and further added that certain persons,
for political reasons, were raising this
hurrah upon no just basis. "When the
time comes," said he, "I will be able to
prove myself guiltless of any and all
charges made against me. The books will
show all money received in the end, not
withstanding the loss of stubs which were
carelessly destroyed. There are a few peo
ple in this city, instigated by political
Srejudices, who are aiming to throw me
own, but I am perfectly at ease .as regards
the result"
Chief Murphy also heard the story of Mr.
Price, and coincides with Mayor Wyman's
views, and lauehiuglv remarked that "when
a man gets in power his enemies endeavor
to do him up, no matter what the means and
methods may be."
Late last night Mr. Price was seen, and
said Koerner was a man who was given to
jumping at conclusions without facts, and
was a great man to exaggerate all that he
hears or sees.
WINTER OPENING.
True Economy Dictates That Bnyers Go to

Winter has come and with it merchants
are displaying their new line of goods, but
it is sale to say that a more complete stock

ket street, cannot be found. That this is
recognized by buyers is attested by the rap-
luiy increasing pubruiiaue ui iiug nouse.

serges, plaids, Bedford cords, cashmeres
and henrie'tas in all the leading shades.

PEETSBTIRG DISPATCH,
STOCK BROKERS' SECRETS.
Evidence Brought Ont at the Hearing of
the Conspiracy Case of MVK. McMullen
Versus I. N. Bichards and F. B. Herri
man Alderman McMaMers Reserves
His Decision.
The hearing in the conspiracy case before
Alderman McMasters, which involves the
Integrity of a prominent stock broker, L N.
Bichards, and a well-known telegrapher,
Frank K. Merriman, came up yesterday
afternoon. The hearing was over two hours
long, and daring all this time the Alder
man's office was crowded with oil and stock
brokers.
M. K. McMullen, the prosecutor, was the
first witness called for the Commonwealth.
He testified that Merriman bad been in his
employ for over four years as a telegrapher
at a salary of 525 per week. As to the
alleged wrong-doings of Merriman
while in his employ, he had no
fersonal knowledge. On cross-examination
e said he had discharged Merriman about
three weeks ago, when he first heard of his
alleged wrong doing.
In answer to a question as to who belonged
to the Keystone Provision, Stock and Ex
change Company, he said be was the only
member. He could not fix a date upon
which the alleged fraud, conspiracy or any
part of it was committed, but thought the
first six months of the year' 1890 was about
the time.
Attorney William Beardon, who repre
sented Merriman, inquired whether the
Keystone Provision, Stock and Exchange
Company was still alive, and also wanted to
know if it was chartered. Mr. McMullen
said the company could be revived at any
time.
Kobert McChesney, who was for somo
time and until very recently Richard's
telegrapher, was the next witness. He said
he knew both defendants and sent messages
from Bichards to Merriman touching Mc
Mullen's business. Attorney Marron then
asked what were the messages?
The witness replied, orders to buy or sell
stock in connection with McMullen's busi
ness. "Do you know whether at any time these
messages were false?"
"I only know that some were not received
in the usual way."
Here the witness gave practical illustra
tions by which he showed the legitimate
mode of transacting the business. He first
sent one message ordering McMullen to buy
stock and in answer to this he would re
ceive a message saying the stock was
bought, all these messages he said were
filed for Mr. Bichards and in a few hours or
days, as the case would happen, Bichards
would order him to send a message telling
McMullen to sell the stock and in reply to
this would get an answer saying that it had
been sold.
As to the messages sent in a usual way,
McChesney said at times stocks would rise
and fall in a very few minutes. He noticed
that on occasions like this Merriman would
send a message stating that certain stocks
had been bought, sold and the deal closed.
Iti instances of this kind he said McMullen
would invariably be a loser, and if Bich
ards and Merriman were working the tiling
together they would profit
This concluded the important testimony
in the case, and Attorney Brown asked for
a discharge of the defendants because the
evidence was not positive, and he stated that
there was no intent to deliver the goods,
and tor this reason the case would not hold
good in court
Attorney Marron discussed the case from
beginning to end and argued that the Al
derman had no jurisdiction as to deciding
whether the business was legal or illegal.
Alderman McMasters reserved his de
cision until next Tuesday.

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER
WILL SELL THE TRIMBLE ESTATE.
The
Veteran Showman's Property to Be
Sold for the Heirs.
An application was filed in the Orphans'
Court yesterday for leave to sell the Ham
ilton Hotel property, on Penn avenue.
The petition for leave to sell the property.
was hied by James P. Quinn, trustee of the
estate of the late Benjamin Trimble. The
ground consists of two lots fronting 40 feet
on Penn avenue, at the corner of Barker's
alley, and a lot 160 by 53 feet in the rear, on
Barker's alley. In his will, Trimble, tho
old showman, who died in 1870, directed that

Reduced Gas BUI.
The only way in which gas bills can be re
duced is by the use of gas saving stoves
and gas grate fixtures. Demmler Bros., 526
and 528 Smithfield street, Pittsburg, Pa.,
carry a large line of the very best gas stoves,
ranging in price from S3 50 to 525 apiece,
according to size and finish, and their gas
grate fixtures are very simple, cheap and
easily put into the grate. The Leader
gas heating stoves are the most powerful
heaters in the market, easy to handle and
ornamental. The jewel champion and Chi
cago gas heating stoves are excellent heat
ers, and give universal satisfaction.
Good gas stoves will pay for themselves
in a short time by the small quantity of gas
they consume, and the large amount of heat
they radiate.
Demmler Bros, also show a large assort
ment of brass fenders, coal vases, fire irons,
dish drainers, Pasteur filters, perfection
meat cutters, empire roast pans, air moist
eners for gas fires, coffee and hot water
urns, cuspidores and an endless variety of
other useful goods for the house and
kitchen. srwsu.
A. Divorce Prevented.
Legal proceedings for a divorce suit were
about to be served upon a very prominent
business man of this city, when friends in
terfered and called upon the much 'wrong
ed wife. She on her part averred that the
only way she would consent to stop pro
ceedings was for her husband to ko forth
with to M. J. Srait, the first direct import
er of diamonds, in whose windows she had
seen such an elegant display, and purchase
for her a pair of genuine diamond ear
drops .and lace pin to match. The friends
immediately advised the husband as to the
above, and he readily consented and all
concerned wended their steps to M.J.
Smit's, 311 Smithfield street, and made the
purchase. Thus all is well that ends well
