-nip-' THE . PITTBTJBG DESPATCH, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 15, J891. CAfflTOT BE LIMITED. Unsuccessful Effort to Fir the Speed of Traction Cars. SMOKE CONSUMERS AEE-OFFEBED Tor Experiments at Ttto of the City's Tamping Stations. HATTERS OP INTEREST IS COUNCILS Contrary to expectations, yesterday's Council meeting was not an exceptionally animated one. The nnderground wire or dinance, on -which a lively figlt was looked for, bobbed np for a moment only and was sent back to the committee. There tras plenty of business, bat it was largely of a routine character. The principal discussion was on an ordi nance from the Public Safety Committee, requiring all street cars to come to a full stop before Crossing all intersecting lines, with a "penalty of from $50 to 5300 for its violation. It was presented by Chairman Xambie, of that committee. Among other things the ordinance provides that the car having the right of way shall cross first in cases where two are at a crossing. Mr. Keating I should like to know what is meant there by right of way. The pro visions of this ordinance do not strike me as feasible. Take the case of the Citizeus' line descending Black Horse Hill. Cars going east encounter such a steep down grade that it is impossible to stop them on a slippery morning at JJegley avenue, where the Duqnesne crosses. Mr. Lambie It should be the duty of the man at the brake to keep his car under con trol when Hearing a crossing. The law thould provide that this is done. As to" the right of way, I think that belongs to the car arriving at the crossing first. Mr. Keating In cases where the car can not be stopped before the crossing is reached such a car should have the right of way, even though the car on the levf 1 track gets there a little ahead. Dr. McCord offered an amendment limit ing the speed of traction cars in the thickly populated portions of the city to six miles an hour. Mr. Keating "We may as well go bacfc to mule power. ur. jucuord l oner the amendment be cause I believe it is necessary to the safety of life and property. Some lines are run ning their cars 25 miles an hour, and Chief Brow n tells me he has no authority to limit their speed. Dr. Evans It would be belter to have this limit of speed apply only to down grades. I refer particularlr to that portion of the Birmingham road from South First to South Xinth streets. Mr. Lambie The question is, how can anvbody judge whetXer a car is running six miles an bonr or not." Dr. McCord I can get several engineers of the Lake Erie Bailroad to swear the Bir mingham cars rnn 25 miles an hour in some places. Even the dogs cannot get out of ihe way. On vote the amendment was lost. On the ordinance 17 members voted for and 4 against, the bill failing to pass for want of a legal majority. allowing the company 522,977 44, came up in Common. Mr. Bigham moved to non concur and that the members who had served on the special committee to investi gate the bill be named as the members of the oonierence committee to meet the repre sentatives ot Select Council "When this action wan reported to Select, Chairman Ford named Messrs. Keating, Gillespie and King to represent that branch in the conference. TO DO AWAY WITH SMOKE. Two Propositions to Equip Pumping Sta tions TClth Consumers Two propositions were presented to Se lect Council for the privilege of equipping the Bedford avenue and Herron Hill pump ing stations with smoke consumers. One as presented by Mr. Keating for the "Western Smoke Preventer Company. The proposition is to erect the machines at 175 per boiler, or 51,025 for all the batteries, guaranteeing a saingof fuel, and that 00 per cent of smoke would be avoided, and if not the machines will be removed at the expense of the company and the boilers re stored to their former condition. Mr. Paul had a somewhat similar propo sition from Charles Gearing. The latter asks the privilege of erecting smoke con sumers at both stations, experimenting first at Bedford avenue, where it is proposed to test he cot of coal ior two weeks and then Mibmit the machines to a two weeks' test. lie guaranteed a saving of coal and the consumption of smoke in so gvat a degree that he agreed to accept as payment in full the sa inc for seven months'in the cost of fuel. Both propositions were referred to the Committee on Public Works. O'DONNELL AND "DOC" MAGEE Have a LI trie Spat Over the Finance Com mittee's Action. A wordy battle came up in Common when Mr. O'Donnell asked the Chairman of the Finance Committee, Mr. Magee, if the Finance Committee had taken action on the Auditors' ordinance, as requested by Coun cil at the last meeting. Mr. O'Donnell be gan to speak on the matter when Mr. Magee interrupted with "Have I got to answer a speech as well as a question?" Mr. O'Donnell I ask the question then. Mr. Magee This Council cannot instruct the committee. As I understand it asked that the ordinance be considered as soon as possible. The Finance Committee has not met since then. Mr. O'Donnell "Was there not a meeting last Saturday? Mr. Magee Not that I know of. Mr. O'Donnell The committee has not met since the last meeting of Council? Mr. Magee I so stated. Mr. O'Donnell asked no more questions. Three New Street Railways. Mr. Robertson, of the Committee on Cor porations, reported "the ordinanoes of the Grandview Avenue Street Railway, from Grandvicw avenue to Shiloh street, to Augusta street; the Mt. Washington Street Railway, from Grandview avenue to Shiloh street, to Virginia street, toWyoming street, to Boggs avenue, to Sofel street, to Southern avenue, to "Wyoming, Grandview and Shiloh streets, and the Hilltop Railway from Car son to Sycamore, to Sniloh streets. From the same committee the ordinance of the "Wilkinsburg Street Railway to traverse partof Fifth avenue to connect at Dennis Jon avenue with the Pittsburg. Oakland and East Liberty Railway (the Pittsburg Trac tion), was affirmatively recommended, as well as the ordinance granting the Penn sylvania Railroad right to build a bridge over Carson street to connect with the Pan handle bridge. All these were passed in both branches. The Underground Wire Bill Returned. Mr. Lambie asked that the ordinance re lating to placing telegraph wires under ground be referred back to committee, as the telegraph companies were compelled by it to take down their poles before putting the wires underground, an impossibility almost. A letter from Chief Brown also asked that it be sent back, which was done. The ordinance prohibiting the erection of poles was also sent back. Culling From Council. The award of the contract for lighting the city to the Allegheny County Light Com nany for four years, as previously published, was approved. In Common. The Select Council resolutions for con demning the BrownsYiHo turnpike, and to select a site for a freo bridge to the South side, were passed in Common. Mr. O'Cottoor presented a resolution pro viding for an estimate for repairing Stanton avenue from the end of last year's repair ing to Woodbine street. It passed both branches. The report of Chief Btgelow, of the De partment of Works, for November showed expenditures of $82,563 33 and a balance of $352,925 57. The number of employes in the department is 568. A Resolution requesting the crtefof the Department of Public Works to use the 2,000,000 feet ot gas the Pittsburg Gas Com pany is bound to furnish the city tree in re turn for rights allowed it, passed both nrancnes. A hesolutiox to improvo Snyder square, Twelfth ward, for a park, passed both branches. This ground was given to the citv by Mrs. Elizabeth Denny for a park in 1873, and has since laid idle as a dumping place for rubbish. Mr. Bigham presented an ordinance grant ing Pack Bros. & Co. the right to lay a switch on Spruce alloy. Mr. Pitcairn moved to refer the ordinance to a special committee of five members. After considerable dis cussion this was done. Paters presented in Select and referred were: Petitlgn for Grading, paving and curb ing Taylor street; petition and ordinance for repaying Harcum's alley, Twenty-fifth ward, and petition for a switch by Jones & Laugh 11ns, on Wright's alley, Twenty-fifth ward Ma. Keatijto, in Select, presented a propo sition to lease tho Fifth Avenue Market House building to C. L. Magee and others, Trustees or Battery B and the Eighteenth Regiment, for a period of 50 years from Jan uary 1,1892. It was referred to the Public Works Committee. Mr. Warrex presented a resolution that tho chief of the Department of Public Works make, an estimate of the cost of paving Ella street, part of Liberty and Penn avenuej with block stone, and that it be included in the appropriation next year. He also pre sented resolutions for the improvement and asked that they be adopted as read. The papers were sent to the Finano Committee. In Common Council Mr. Bigham from the Commutes on Public Works, presented ordinances for sowers on Oakland avenue, on Butler street from Fifty-rourth street to McCandless street, on Lawn street, on High land avenus, Bryant and Mellon streets; for grading Wightman street, paving and curb ing Horaewood avenue; grading, paving and curbing Duncan street; opening Irwin ave nue, all of which were passed.

Arrested the progress of Con sumption. In all it's earlier stages, it can be cured. It's a scrofulous affection of the lungs a blood taint and, as in every other form of scrofula. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is a cer tain remedy. But it must be taken in time and noto is the time to take it It purifie3 the blood that's the secret. Nothing else acts like it It's the most po tent strength-restorer, blood-cleanser, and flesh-builder known to medical science. For "Weak Lungs, Spitting of Blood, Bronchitis, Asthma, Catarrh, and all lingering Coughs, it's a remedy that's guaranteed, in every case, to benefit or cure. If it doesn't, the moner is returned. In other words, it's sold on trial. No other medicine of its kind is. And that proves that nothing else is " just as good" as tho " Discovery.''
