A Conference Called to Devise Ways and Means to Defeat Eutan's Ambitions, SEW CANDIDATES ARE EXPECTED. Prank Case Ecturns From Washington and Thinks He Will Soon Be Signing His Xame as Collector. HE IS YERY SURE WARMCASTLE WHL GO, Bet Believes That lie Should Be remitted to Formally Eesijn If He Want to. J Senator Quay telegraphed P ittsburg par ' tics yesterday that he would be at the Sev enth Avenue Hotel to-day to consult with hU political friends. Collector "Warmcas - tie's troubles will be considered, but the most important question will be what means it is possible to adopt to knock out Senator Rutan. Senator Quay has given instructions to his friends in Allegheny county that Tlutan must be sidetracked in order to keep him from leading the Dalzell forces in the next Lecislature. The Quay people have been convinced by recent developments that Jlr. Rutan will engineer Congressman Dalzell's cam paign to succeed Senator Quay. "With the Federal patronage in "Western Pennsyl vania in the hands of Mr. Dalzell and llutan to handle it, the friends of Sir. Qnay tee dancer ahead, and in order to avert it the most comenient method is to choke off Mr. Iiutan's new political lift. A Change of Candidates. Mr. Marshall and Mr. McDonald are be lieved to tic the Quay candidates in the Second Legislative district,- but within a we-k it is probable one or both of them will be out of it, and others who have not been identified with politics, but in whom confidence can be placed, will be run on the non-political platform and with the same arguments that were so successful in the last State election. It is believed that Eutan's running mate will be Mr. Cruik ' shank, who is strong politically, but against whom the crv can be made, as against Mr. Eutan. tl.at he is a politician. Allegheny is believed to be in a reform spirit at present, and it will be the ef fort of the Quay people to take ad vantage of this by bringing forward citi zen candidate who have never been in the school of politics, but who, on the quiet, ill be very willing to lears. Cose Thinks He Will Be Collector. Fiank Case returned from "Washington vcterdav hopeful thit he will succeed Col- I lector WarmcaBtle, and consistently stick- ' ine to the claim that his visit to the capital was of a private nature. "I called on Congressman Dalzell for a short time," he said in reply to a question, "and the ret of my time was sper.t in visit ing a sick brother." "There is no doubt that Mr. "Warmcastle will have to """ he wa asked. "I cannot see any other course that the Government could pursue," wa the an swer. "As it soems now, it is only a ques tion of Mhcther the Collector will be al lowed to resign or whether he will be te moved. For my own part, I think he should be civeu the privilege of resignine, tlthoucli in view of the publication of all the details I cannot see what advantage that would give Mr. AVarmcanlc The Government is very severe in its action, and lays don rules that must be followed to the letter ' "Will Mr. Dalzell be a candidate for the United States Senate?" "That is beicjr considered." replied Mr. Case, with a smile which indicated that the matter had already been finally settled. "you are,thfcn, a candidate forthe Collc toHiip?" "My papers are on file at "Washington," answered Mr. Case. "I will do nothi.i-j more. I do not know what other candi dates there will be." EIPE AND O'EEIEN BIGHT. So Says Ei-Comm!ioner JlcWilllami, Who Is Out of Politics. Ex-County Commissioner McWilliams has declared himself our of politics, though tie indorses the movement of new Democratic association and denounces in unmeasured terms the men who have been running the Democratic politics of Allegheny county. "William Brcnnen is Chairman of the County Committee by a combination of con nivance and accident," says Sir. McWill iams, "and not through any merit or popu larity of hi. Pat Foley, who Is responsible for hi hemp there, is the worst trimmer that ever meddled in county politics. They are Doth dead herrings now, and their action In relusins the party candidates In the lccent election has sounded their death knell. Both parties in this county are rot ten, and the combinations they have been forming are dis rnccfnl and not paralleled Sn the country. Leaders of both parties have been deceiving the people continually, not only by sn indllug them out of the candi date honestly elected at primaries, but by cheating them out at the regular elections. I believe Mr. Sine and Sir. O'Brien are on the lielit road to purify the Democracy, and they will secure the indorsement and bupport of the best people in the party." OX MANY CHARGES. gliomas Gannon Has Heen Wanted by the Police for a Year Several Charges of Robbery and One or Horse Stealing -Against Him. Thomas Gannon, arrested by Detectives Bendel and McTighe Saturday night for horse stealing, has been wanted by the police for a year. Uut while carrying on Ills operations in a wholesale way he has heretofore successfully covered his tracks. Three informations for robbery are awaiting him at Alderman Gripp's office, and other charges are likely to be made to-day. The first affair in hich the police had cause to desire Gannon's presence was the robberv of the Diamond Market just a year ago. A large amount of produce was secured. Young .Ione, a companion of Gannon, was ai rested and it. now serving a two-year sen tence for his connection with tho robbery. Gannon got away and was not heard of until three months later, when a wagon load of ropo was ?tolen f l om a Southsido store. The theft was traced to him, but be could nor lie lound. The third offense on which Gannon was wanted by the police was the robbery of the Jirownsville wnarfboat a few weeks ago. Butter, eggs and other produce, in consider able quantity, were carried away. Gannon apani pot outoftheway. Tha latest offense was the stealingofa liorspfrom Hugh Davie, of the Diamond. Gannon took the animal to Clmrleioi and sold It to haiiford Cir-on for $100. It was valued at J2S0. Saturday night Gannon was found by the detective on First avenue and locked up in Cntral station. Several other casus are against him, and he will probably be rigorouslr dealt with. , HUNTING FOE JOHK HUNTER. The Assistant l"irc Chler Said to Have Been Dismissed,. There is still much talk in Allegbenyas to the whereabouts of Assistant Superinten dent John Hunter, of the Fire Bureau. It was stated ye"-teiday that h6" had 'been' placed in a hospital, and it was even said lie was taken therein a patrol wagon. Super intendent of Police Muth denies this: Imf- there are very few who take any sroch. in the storv that he i in the Kast. I'cter "Schotzinan, foreman of the Grant PnginoCompanv, who has taken Hunter's place, ascits that Hunter has been dls ml"ed. Chief Murphy, however, stiys lie only suspended Hunter for two weeks and that lie will have his position hack when he returns. A LIVELYJESSION Or Councils Kxpectcd To-lay The Under ground Wire Ordinance Likely to Cause Considerable Discussion-Objections to the Short Timo Allowed Other Busi ness Up. Councils will have a lively session to-day. The long-discussed question of underground wires will come up for settlement. The ordinance providing for the removal of poles now standing,prohibiting the erection of others and authorizing the burial of all telephone, telegraph, electric light and other wires, was affirmatively recommended last week by tho Public Safety Committee. There may not be any opposition to-dny to the measure as a whole, but Micro will undoubtedly be considerable dis cussion over somo of it provis ions. The ordinance provides Unit all wires must be put underground bv Xo vcmber 15, 1S92. It Is claimed the work can not bo done by that time. Streets will havo to bo torn np to put In conduits and the work, nnleHs dono a littlo at a time, will seriously obstruct traffic. This point will be urged bv several Councilmen and an amendment may result, giving more time. City Attorney Moreland will send an opinion on the right of the city to enforco tho re moval of poles. Xo discussion is anticipated on the ordi nance providing that street cars must come to a halt before crossing Intersecting lines. All traction lines are now obeying this rule, and the passage of the ordinance will be little-more than formality. Unless the piogmmme U changed this morning the Poor Farm and bend questions will not be features of the meeting. Ordinances for the Wilklnshurg and Hill Top street railways have passed committee and are scheduled for to-day. Also the or dinance granting the Fentsylvania Rail road the right to construct a bridge over Carson, between South First and Second streets, to connect with the Tanhandle bridge. If tlio special committee on the Mononga hela river bridge follows the instructions of a resolution passed at the last meeting, it will have a report ready to-dny on a site between the Smithfleld and Tenth street bridges. Common Council will consider the ordi nance for a switch from the Whitehall rail road to Armor A Co.'s warehcse on South Twenty-first street, ou which it split last session. DAVIS HAS RESIGNED. The Pittsburg Traction Superintendent Will Be With a Well-Known Iron Plrm After January 1 Other Street Hallway Changes Success of the Night Cnrs. E. "W. Davis, Superintendent of the Fifth avenue traction line, has tendered his resignation to go into effect on January L After that date he will assume the manage ment of the Marshall Foundry and Con struction Company's works at Twenty eighth street. Mr. Davis is a mechanical engineer of considerable ability and his service to the Fifth Avenue Company has been invaluable ever since tho Introduction of the cable system It is understood that William Elkins, son of the President of the company, who has been cash receiver at the East End station, will take Mr. Davis' place. At about tho same time the general management of the Fifth avenue and Duqnesne roads is ex pected to pass into the hands of President Elkins, but this point, it is stated by the officials interested, will not be settled until the conference to tako place in this city nest Thursday between the Duquesne and Fifth avenue magnates. The special stock holders' meetings of both companies are to be held on Thnrday morning, when, accord ing to the advertisements, the question of making "traffic arrangemirsts" are to be passed upon, lao come y ace is to taKe place in the afternoon. The all-night cars put c a. fez nig'its ago by the Duqnesne Company havs bea doing fr more business tlian was expuiol of them. Xearly 200 passenger have beei hauled every night thus far, but tho officials think this will not continue. Thiy think that as soon as tho novelty wears rff the patronage will settle down io Hills more half that, nt least for a me, bus an average of even 103 passenger.? per night will pay all expenses and n little oor. It is expected that after the 1st of April many now living elsewhere will move to tho East End on ac count of the night car accommodation and will thereafter be regular patrons of them. THINKS IT SMALL BUSINESS. Manager Hyde Throws More Light on tho Electric Suit Against the A vln. Manager Hyde, in speaking of the suit of the Western Electric Company against the Alvlr. Theater, said yesterday that he had no doubt the affair would be fixed up to day. The manager was provoked that the company shonld adopt such a coursv Their representatives pesterol Mr. Divis last summer to get the contrart, and made all sorts of promises which they are no; fulfilling. They bragged a great deal when thev got the order, and ndver tiscd it extensively. Tbeplint wnsputln on several months trial, and if it was unsat isfactory it was not to be taken. E. L. De vore was the Pittsburgagent, but since then he has quit the company. Ho told Mr. Davis not to take the plant unless it worked allrlgh:. Manager Hyde states that the contract has not been approved. Some of the wires are grounded and the plant is not In good work ing order. Recently tho electrician of the theater was removed. He Is a relative of one of the officials of the" Western Electric Company, and it is asserted that the present trouble was instigated through spite. Mr. Davis regrets that he didn't buy his electric plant from one of the three leading com- S antes. Though still a very sick man, Mr. 'avis was much better yesterday. FIFE IHBUSTHIAL DISPLAY. Mr. Hiley Thinks the State Will Make a Good Showing at the Fair. George X. Eiley, one of the State Worldjs Fair Commissioners, went to Chicago last evening on private business. He says the membarsareso busy with tnelr own affairs that It was decided to open offices shortly in Pittsburg, Harrisburg and Philadelphia. Some one will be appointed in each city to look after Fair matters. The commission has had very encouraging reports from the manufacturers, and Mr. Riley thinks the Pennsylvania industrial display will be un excelled. The local people are taking a great deal of interest In the exhibit. A good deal of dissatisfaction was stirred np over tho first intention to reproduce in Cbicago the old Independence Hall for the State building. The Philadelphia people wanted It. A compromise was made, how ever, and the structu?i is to bo modern with the colo lial tower on the roof. Mr. Kiley tavs the people want something now. nnd every Peunsylvanian is familiar with Inde pendence Hall. Four Boys and a Jag in a Cell. Bud Purt, William McClelland, Harry Hll- i son and Walter Burke were arrested about 5 ociocc yesterday aiternoon on ireaeral street, near Robinson street, Allegheny, by Officer Loughrey nnd sent to the lockup, charged with disorderly conduct. They w ere well dressed and between the ages of 17and20years. They were quarreling, nnd became so noisy that a citizen called the of ficer and ordered their arrest. One of them claimed his watch had been stolen. TALIS OF THE TWO CITIES. A satchel full of surgical instruments was found on Federal street, near the Ft. Wayne depot, yesterday afternoon. They were afterward claimed by Dr. Ewing. Fkaxcis Fiuntsr, one of the Italian laborers who was burned atXucy furnace on Thurs dav, died from the effects of his injuriesat St. Francis Hospital yesterday morning. He was 27 yeais old and lived in Xatrona alley. At Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church Saturday evening a popcorn social was tendered to the Sunday School children by the pastor. Rev.

Becapturo of Three YouDg Backs Who Ban Away From Carlisle. THEY LEAP FE0M A MOVING TBAIN, But After Two Days of Liberty Were Again in tbo Toils. THE GOOD EESULTS OP EDUCATION Three young bucks handcuffed and chained together attracted the attention of passengers at the Union depot last evening. They wpre merry-faced and mischievous and didn't look like dangerous criminals. The hoys were runaways from .the Carlisle Indian School and had been captured in Topeka by W. P. Campbell, the disciplina rian of the institution After two of the young fellows gave him the slip in Mis souri Mr. Campbell decided to take no fur ther chances, but used the chains to secure them. A bill was passed by the last Congress making Indian education compulsory. Captain Pratt has established a regular system of discipline for the boys at Car lisle, and it is rigidly enforced, or he wouldn't have a pupil. The rod is not used, but the culprits are court-martialed, confined in jail for a term, or made to work without pay. The three runaways will probably have to work out the expense of recapturing them, and theD they will be dismissed from the school. Influence of One Bad Indian. They csme from the Shawnee, Blackfoot and Gros "Ventre tribes. About six weeks ago Reynolds, the Shawnee, who is a half breed, appeared at the school, and said he wanted an education. He claimed he had worked his way from the Indian Territory. Captain Pratt agreed to take him, and if his record was all right he could stay. He was afraid he had been traveling with a stranded circus, and was looking for temporary lodging. Reynolds had not been there long before he skipped out with three other young bucks. The fourth one has not been recaptured. Mr. Campbell had an exciting experience with the bqys in Missouri. Reynold? and the Blackfoot were handcuffed, but the nippers were old and they soon discovered they weren't locked. They nursed the appa ratus along, and watched "their chance to es cape. Near Jefferson the train stopped on a sid- track to allow another one to pass. Wbe.2 it was starting they pulled off the handcuffs and jumped from the coach. It was dark, but they lauded safely. Mr. Camp bell stopped at the next station, and after scouring the country for two days they were retaken in a farmer's straw stack". Reynold's was in a merry humor, and joked Campbell about the escapade. He said he was a slick Indian, ana once broke away from a marshal seven times before he got him into court as a witness. Mr. Campbell said it cost considerable to hunt up the boys and bring them back, but they had to do it for the good effect it will have on their companions. The young braves must first be taught to behave themselves. The Kesnlts of Education. The teacher was asked if Indian educa tion paid. "Well." replied Mr. Campbell, "I have been at Carlise for II years, and if I thought my work counted for naught I would quit at once. "We now have 800 red skins ot both sexes in the school. We have educated a great many who have gone hack to the tribes a nil are doing well. You never hearvf thA good Indians, but if one should turn out tudly ho is held up as an example of wrsted time nnd monevsnent in educat ing savages. At the Pine Rtdge Agency there areC'ot our graduates. In the lost trouble only six joined tho warriors. The others counseled peace and had as much to do in breaking up tho insurrection as the soldiers. 1.4 Sl 1 1 .. l.A . 1.1 1 ucu V.1UUU is lilts mail nuu jjiuvciilpu umuu' shed and now the poor old man is deposed. The Indians have no use for a chlefunlesi he is a fighter. As for bringing ledskinsto Carlisle to educate, we find It is cheaper per capita than trvlng to teach them on the i eservations. The car fare is a great deal less than tho cost of shipping their ratious to the West. Our graduates are scattered all over the frontier, and whereverthcy are, they talk peace and are trying to improve the condition of their people." INSPECTING STONE BUILDINGS. A Wealthy St. Louis Merchant Says the Tariff Is Beneficial. Joseph Specht, a wealthy St. Louis cloth ing man, and E. P. ,V. Ritter registered at the Moiiongchela House yesterday. Mr. Specht owned "The Famous" clothing store which wns recently destroyed by fire. Ho intends to rebuild at once, and at present is examining stone buildings in other cities for the lateat points. Ho inspected the Hudson building in Detroit, and speaks very well of its arrangement. He visited the local cloth ing houses, and says he learned some things here. Mr. Specht has not been in Pittsburg for 10 years, and he was surprised at the great change in the city. He remarked that a town's prosperity depends on tho condition or Its Industries and mercantile trade. If these are on a substantial basis, other things, whether elaborate or not. will take care of them selves. He cited Kansas City as an instance. This nlaco had a wonderful boom, and mag nificent business houses were erected. In a short time it was discovered that the em ployment in the town was insufficient to support the workmen, and 40,000 people left. When the famous dollar rate prevailed be tween Kansas City and St. Louis, in the old rate cutting days, 30,000 people quitted Kan sas City in a week. Speaking of the McKinley bill, he said its .beneficial effects on the whole country are now apparent, and he thinks the only hope for the Democrats is to hedge, as Speaker Crisp and Springer advise. The bill has not advanced the prices of clothing for poor people. Very few imported articles are sold in the retail trade. Most or the ready made clothing is manufactured out of home fab rics. If a man wants a suit of imported ma terial, it makes little differepoe to him whether the cloth has been advanced 10 per cent or not. Ho will have it anvhow. Mr. Specht left for New- York and Boston last nigur. Driving m Stolon Horse. Andrew Earthgate, aged 12, and Barney Boyle, aged 13, wore arrested by Detectives Shore and McLaughlin on Forbes street, Sobo, yesterday. They were in Dr. H. W. Fulton's buggy, stolen Saturday. The horse had been left standing In front of the doc tor's office. It is charged that Barthgate got into the rig and drove off. It was put up in some stable over night and yesterday morning the boys started off for another ride. They were enjoying a fine spin when the officers recognized the animal and stopped the fun. Tho horse is a blooded one and valuable. Modjejka's Dates Cancelled. Madame Modjeska will not open at the Duquesne Theater to-night. All day yester day her husband was keeping the wires warm between here and Philadelphia" with messages concerning the famous actress' condition. In the morning she was slightly better, but in the nftPrnoon the fever began rising so rapidly that Manager F. G. Cotter wax ordered to cancel her Pittsburg dates and send her trunks back to Philadelphia. It is still hoped, however, that she will be able to appear by Thursday. Her company is now in Pittsburg. Lookins Up the Cameron Family. Kenneth B. Cameron, of Loch Ithlnnle, Scotland, is at? the St. James. His brother James and he are engaged in writing a book on the Cameron clan and its descendants. He came to Pittsburg to look up members or the family, but he doesn't find many in the directory, and will go Wes to-day. ne was interested in Simon Cameron and his sou Don, nnd visited Harrisburg to look up their ancestry. He rinds that the great Pennsylvania politician comes from an ob scure branch of the Cameron clan. Gllmore'a Hand To-Morrow.

BOYS RUN AWAY ON A RAFT. They Assert That They Were Practically Kidnaped,, nnd the Man Who Enticed Them Oft Will Be Arrested Hard Wort and None of the Promised Pay. .Two boys of a roving turn of mind and as much experience as stowaways on an ocean voyage are now at the Bethel Home on Du quesne way, awaiting transportation to their homes in Oil City, and nt the same time crying vengeance on the man who induced them to leave comfortable beds for life on a shanty-boat raft. They were not kidnaped, but they think the effect was the same. Their lale of woe has excited the sympathy of Manager Foster, of the Bethel Home, to such an extent that he will have the man who led the boys astray for his own profit arrested. This man i known by the name of Jako Johnston, ins particular line of business isthemnnntiictuie of chairs from hickory shrubs confiscated from theriverbinks. nnd it was to sell theso chairs ho allured the boys to join him. Thev have given their names as Burt Conner and Ivan Clark. One after noon they strayed down to the river bank and Johnston "offered them a trip to the Mississinpl, $2 50 a week and transportation home whenever ihey desired If they would got on his raft and help him sell chairs. They consented. They wanted to go home and pack their worldly goods, but Johnston said "now or never," and in a fotf minutes they had weighed anchor nnd pulled ont. On the trip down, young Conner, who is about 10 years old, said that for a short timo tbev were well treated, but when they got crt farnwup from linmn that thevCOUldll't go back, Johnston commenced cuffing them, around nnd made them work hard wicnouc giving them anything but cold bascnit to "Our work," he said, "was to go on the shore and get the hickory to make the chains, and at small towns go out and sell them. Johnston was a big, rough man, who told us stories about Indians along the Mississippi river, and how he had killed them Just for fun. Ho scared ns so that we did everything ho wanted ns to do and were afraid to run away. Wo came to Sharpsburg on Satur day, and while in the town selling chairs Johnston left us. We hunted down tho river for his raft because we had no money, but we could not find him. A gentleman directed us to tho Bethel Home and we hava been here ever since." Clark's father, he states, is an official in Uie National Transit Company They hope that their parents will send money for them when letters which they have written reach Oil City. PLANS OP A GERMAN ENGINEER. A Scheme to Connect the Railroads or North and South America. G. A. Kairweise, a German engineer, who has spent considerable timo in Chile, was In Pittsburg yesterday. He says he was frozen out of the country through the manipula tions of politicians, no says affairs In Chile are not half, as bad as represented in American newsnapers. The Chileans now control tho rich guano and nitrate beds. Thev formerly belonged to Bolivia, but tho leading South American Republic ncqulred the narrow strip of land between the mountains and the coast, and hnve com pletely shut off Bolivia from tho ocean. The Chileans welcome Americans with money or a desire to work, but they have no use for the designing politicians who have afflicted the country. Mr. Kairweise is working on a great scheme to unite tho South American rail roads. Tracks have been laid across tho territory from Montevideo and Buenos Ayres to tho base of tho Andes Mountains. The Chilenns have built a line of railroad for some distance along the coast, and rails have been put down in Bolivia. Peru, Ecua dor and the United States of Colombo lead ing to tho Pacific. It wouldn't require much to complete the links uniting the systems nnd continue the road to a point near Panama, where a line of steamships could receive tho freight and carry ithy water to the Mexican railroad. The latter now con nect wit.i the Southern Tacifio and other American railroads. In this wav, with the exception of the shbrf ocean voyage, the railroads of North and South America could be made continuous. Mr. Kairweise claims the route he has mapped out is the shortest and most feasible to South America. Ho thinks tho plan is better than Blaine's to reach the Southern countries bv water. It takes 21 days now to sail from Iew Tork to Rio Janeiro. A Funeral Ends In Disorder. A portion of a Hebrew funeral landed in Central station yesterday. The servioes were over and two wagon loads of attend ants were leturnlng home. When they reached High street tho influence of a couple of Jugs of whisky got the drivers into the Idea of a race and down the narrow street the. two vohicles dashed. Near Webster avenue they collided with a buggy and a general smashup resulted. Officer Milholland caught S. H. Alpern.Isaac Swartz and Simon Swartz. Tliemenweie huriicd off to Cen tral station nnd locked np. A short timo aftorwnrd J. Gieenburg appeared and asked that the police hunt up the rest of the par ties. Ho said ho had bnrled a child a week ago, and at the funeral these parties had acted in a similar manner, which lie thought very disgraceful. Tho three men arrested are all of advanced years. After they sobered up they were let out on forfeits. Work to Be Commenced In the Spring. Mr. Schlosser says the work of remodel ing and enlarging the hotel will bo com menced in the spring. The plans have been partially Improved, but there aro so many heirs to be seen that It will take sometime to decide what improvements will be made. MINOR POLICE. James Gargoko, nn Italian, of No. 723 Forbes street, was arrested last night by Officer Bohen and locked up in the Four teenth ward station for assaulting Thomas Richards. Some boys had been teasing Gar gono, and he ran but of his place with a shoemaker's knife in his hand. Mr. Rich ards was passing the placo at the time, and the Italian, thinking he had been putting the boys up to tease him, mado a thrust at Richard with the knife and cut his hat but did no further damage. Maetix Patterson, a six-foot colored man of Homewood, was arrested yesterday by Officer Kiloy for disorderly conduct. It is alleged that on Saturday night Patterson got drunk, and on golngMiomo flourished a huge revolver and threatened to shoot everybody In tho neighborhood. He was locked up in the Nineteenth ward station. Charles Coatzs was arrested last night and locked up in the Twelfth ward police station. He is charged with being the man who knocked Officer Bumbaugh down and beat him at midnight Saturday. Numerous friends of Coates called at the station, want ing to put up a forfeit for his release, all were refused. . Detective Richard Kkllt arrested Walter Brown, E. V. Smith and Edward McMurray yesterday at 123 Second avenue. A visitor at the house complained to tho police that he had been robbed there, and he suspected tbe men named. They are oil men from Oakdale, and deny their gnilt. MiififiE McAfee, of prepossessing appear ance, about 23 years old, nnd whoso homo Is at 123 Strawberry alley, was arrested last evening by Officer Downey and sent to the Eleventh ward police station. She was in toxicated and had fallen down a pair of steps leading from Elm street. Yisterdav afternoon Frank Noling and several other men were "shooting craps" in O'Mara Ktreet, Allegheny.

THE FIFTH AYENUE LINE STOPS To rut in a New Crossing at Smithfleld, Causing a Uuquesno Crush. CERISTJIAS SHOW WINDOWS INSPECTED Yesterday was a great day for the traction roads. The weather was rather warm for a midwinter Sunday, but it was chilly enough to wear heavy clothing with comfort, and in all other respects was.perfect. The atmos phere was clearer thau it has been for months, and one was .-eminded of the days when natural gas was supreme. The charms of the day induced throngs of -people to take advantage of it to go out for an airing. Somo went to church, some to promenade and many others to visit friends or rela tives. The traction companies received the ben efit. The cars were crowded all day long and late into the night. The Filth avenue line was an exception. A change in the crossing at the intersection of Fifth avenue and Smithfleld street neces sitated by the introduction of the heavy cars on the Birmingham Traction road, pre vented the Fifth Avenue road from run ning a car between Oakland and Market streets from Saturday midnight until 6 o'clock last evening. Under the contract between these, companies the Fifth ayenue company is required to keep the crossing in order. About a year ago a crossing vas put in with castings supposed then to be heavy enough for any purpose. Big Cars Knock Ont Crossing. But the big cars adopted later by the Bir-( mingham Company have proven too much' for the crossingj and for some time past the officials of both roads have been apprehensiv-j of an nccident at that point on account: of the shaky condition of the crossing rails. Special castings, heavy enough to carry freight trains were ordered recently and delivered Saturday. Late Saturday night,a force of workmen began tearing up the street to put in the new rails. They were kept at work until early this morning before the job was. finished. The new crossing consists of four heavy castings, including the yokes which pass under the conduit through which the cable travels, and on which the track weight is supported. Steel rails are laid on top. The crossing is expected to last for years. "While this work was going on the Du quesne traction cars had everything their own way and "standing room only" would have been an appropriate sign on any of them from early in the morning until 6 o'clock in the evening, when the cable cars began to move.

HE HAD A FIT OF DESPONDENCY, Caused by Continued Illness and Conse quent Idleness. 3I05KT ALL USED IN DOCTORS' BILLS Brooding over his inability to work and made melancholy by disease, Milton P. Smith committed suicide some time during Saturday night, and was found hanging from a door yesterday morning. Smith was 44 years of age and married. He and his wile lived with the Iatter's father, James Godfrey, at No. 34 Wylie avenue. Smith was formerly a harness maker, and acquired a comfortable livelihood. But a few months ago he became incapacitated for work on account of erysipelas in one of his limbs, and since then the money has grad ually diminishe-. Becently gangrene set in. Smith became despondent over his af fliction and the realization that he would never be well again. A few days ago Mrs. Smith went away on a visit. Saturday night Smith retired to his romn alone. He had been melancholy for days past, and nothing was thought of his despondent appearance. Yesterday morn ing he did not appear for breakfast. After waiting several hours one of the family went to Smith's room and found the door locked. It was forced open, and Smith was found hanging by -a rope to the door of a closet. He had stood on a chair, fast ened the rope about his neck and over the door and then stepped off. Aphysician was summoned, but was of no avaij, as Smith had been dead several hours. He must have strangled quickly, as he had not time to remove his crippled limb from the chair. The suicide husband leit no word as to the reason of his actions. It is generally considered, however, that his illness so preyed on his mind that he did not desire to live and become a burden on his wife and relatives. Mrs. Smith has been notified and win be home at once. The coroner will hold an inquest to-day. MUSICAL CHRISTMAS GIFTS At H. Kleber & Bro.'a. Mandolins The celebrated Washburn's.
