' It. K. Burke, the "Western Pennsylvania
aj;ent tor the Union News Company, went
to Xew York last niqht to consult with the
.general manager of the company with re
gard to the Law and On'cr Society's move.
"I have little doubt," he said, "that I
will be instructed to continue the sale of
papers and fischt the Society. The only
things we sell on Sunday are newspapers
and other literature and-we think the sale
of such thine is almost a necessity. Re
ligious papers and books as well as other
mutter are offered for sale, so there can be
no excuse for interference on that account.
"The only time we were ever interfered
with before for selling papers on Sunday
a a few years a;o at Huntingdon. A few
religious cranks there concluded to reform
the town and brought suits against all the
news stands. The first time our manwas
prosecuted he was fined ?25 and I paid it I
consulted with the general manaser. and
he notified me to fight them. 1 sent word
to the Huntingdon people that if they mo
lested us again we would appeal the case to
court. We w ere open the next Sunday as
usual, but there were no prosecutions made.
Tor a tew weeks we had a monopoly of the
Sunday business, but finally the other deal
ers commenced opening on Sunday until all
had resumed.
"I think the law of 171U should be
amended to suit the present century. I
have little doubt it will be dnne. Papers
alloerthe country will be effected it this
crusade is successful. We handle 490 or 500
Sunday New York and Cincinnati
papers, and more from Philadelphia.
"Vc sell far more Sunday papers
from other cities than on any other dav in
the week and I have no doubt all of them

SINE OF THE STOLEN KINGS'BECOVEEED
A daring robbery was effected last night
in Allegheny. The jewelry store of "Will
iam J. Sarver, at 40 Federal street, was
robbed of a tray of diamond rines, 31 in
number, and valued at 53,000, bat nine of
the rings were recovered, and the loss was
thus reduced to 52,400.
The robbery was made in a manner almost
the same as (hat of the "Wilson diamond
robbery on Fourth avenue, Pittsburg, a
short time ago. The plate glass of the win
dow was broken with a railroad coupling
pin and the diamonds were taken. It oc
curred about 9:30 o'clock last evening. Mr.
Satrer and his family Avere enjoying a
birthday party in a room that-is back of
the storeroom.
The Thief Hart Uarrcd the IJoor.
A son of Mr. Sarver, "W. H. Sarver,
stepped into the doorway between the ttore
and the room where the festivities were
being held. As he did so he saw a tall
man, rather shabbily dressed, standing a
short distance form the show window. Mr.
Sarver thought nothing of this and turned
to rejoin the party. As he did so he heard
the window crash and saw the man he had
observed before take from the window a
tray of diamond rings and runaway. Mr.
Sarver started after him, but the thief had
taken the precaution to bar the door with a
stick covered by a newspaper and gained
time.
Officer Eckert observed the man run and
tli"n stsned after him. pursuing him up
Kose alley. The thief was fleet of foot and
gained on the officer. The latter then drew
his revolver and fired five shots but without
ar.v effect. The man then turned into a side
alley and disappeared. "o trace of him
has been found.
-arer l'lckfd TTr Kino THamonds.
Mr. Sarver, who had been following the
officer, picked up nine of the diamonds that
had been dropped by the thief. A return
was made to the store and investigation
showed that the window had been broken
by a coupling pin. The glass was heavy
plate and the openine through it was made
in the entrance side to the doorway.
The police authorities were immediately
notified, and Chief Murphy, Superintendent
Muth and others started lo work on the
case. Chief Murphy is inclined to the be
lief that the robberv was made bv the same
person who accomplished the "Wilson rob
bery, the same method being employed.
Chief Murphy an'l Superintendent Muth
stated that they had notified Mr. Sarver to
lfmove the tray of diamonds from the win
dow. The notification was given three
times.

A New York Bank 1'ilrs a Big Bill Against
A I.dC.il Clothinc Firm.
Attorneys Shiras & Dickey yesterday
entered a judgment in behalf of the Park
National Bank, of Xew York,against Julius,
Augustus H. and Moses S. Levy, doing
business as Levy Bros. & Co.. for 595,048 04.
The judgment entered was in default of an
appearance or defense by the defendants in
a suit brought by the bank to recover that
amount. The money sued for was alleged
to iiave been advanced to Levy Bros. Jfc Co.
bv the bank at various times between De
cember 20, 1890, and May 2, 1891.
This is a New York firm, but has a branch
house in Pittsburg. None of the members
could be found last night, and Attorney
Dickey said all he knew was that he had
been instructed to enter judgment. A Xew
York telegram last night stated the firm
had failed disastrously last winter and the
creditors had never gotten anything.
A Bad Man Tor Constables to Tackle.
Thomas Cornelia was sent to the work
house for 30 days, yesterday, and will prob

street to serve a warrant on him "Wednesday
night, but he knocked McGrew down the
stairs, struck McWhortcr over the head
with the poker and then threw his senseless
form out of a second-story window. He
subsequently fought viciously with the

hurt to appear at the hearing, but has entered
a charge oi aggravated assault with intent
to kill against Cornelia.

ALL DANGER IS OVER,
The FJool na Itcachcd It's Height An
Inundation Prevented by the Cold,
"vVavo .Shopkeeper, However, Kept n
"Watch -1I Night.
Once again old Prob proved correct in
his predictions and a host of people are
thankful for the cold wave that arrived
just in time to check the rising tide and
save the low points from an inundation.
Thq marks on the Monongaheia wharf l
midnight showed 22 feet 6 inches
and rising at the rate of 2 inches
an hour, but it was pre
dicted by rivermen that it would not
go over "23 feet. This information was
gladly received by representatives of the
various business houses in the low districts,
who were on watch waiting the slightest
appearance of water to remove their goods
to a place of safety.
At Joseph Horn &Co.'s. on Penn ave
nue, all the goods in the cellar had been re
moved to the storeroom. Manager Durbin
Home thought it better to move them
tnan run tne risK ot a veiling.
At Cart's tobacco store, under the Fifth
National Bank, several persons were on
watch for water and ready to carry the
stock out This is a gauge for business men
ill that vicinity, as the water generally
makes its appearance there first and every
body at once taks all precautions necessary
to save their stock. Along the Monongaheia
wharf everything was quiet. There
was just " the slfchtcst evidence of
water in the cellars at "Wood and
"Water streets, which is the lowest
point along the wharf, but, as belore stated,
the water will not rise high enough to
compel the removal of goods. Very little
damage has been done. The Pittsburg and
"Western Railroad was under water in sev
eral places, enough to cause a cessation of
business. The old bridge at ilerr's Island
was washed away, but as it was soon to be
removed it is a small loss.
A POLICEMAN PLAYS CUPID.
A Separated Conpls Kiss and Malte Tp
Tt 1th Prison Bnrs Between Them.
An interesting little love drama was en
acted in the Twelfth ward last night. "Will
iam Cassidy was married a few monthF ago,
and went to housekeeping with his bride,
but in a short time his bibulous habits
caused a separation, and Mrs. Cassidy re
turned to work at a boarding house where
she had formerly been a domestic. Last
w eek she applied for a divorce He beenme
repentant on hearing of this, and called sev
eral times to see his wife, but was refused
admittance.
Last night he determined to see her at all
hazards. About 9 o'clock he went to the
house and. going around to the rear, was in
the act of crawling in through a window
when detected and arrested as a suspicions
character by a policeman, who thought he
was a burglar. Mrs. Cassidy, hearing the
noise, ran out and taking in the situation
protected vigorously against the arrest.
Her remonstrance was ofno avail, however,
and he was led off to the station where she
soon afterward put in an appearance. At
her request she was allowed to go
in and talk to him, but the
sinht of her hubby behind prison
bars was too much for her, and she burst
into tears. Then they talked the matter
over. He promised to relorm and she
offered t withdraw her application for
divorce, "ftie police would not release him,
and she was compelled, after an affecting
farewell, kissing him through the bars, to
leave him in his solitude, promising to re
turn and testify in his behalf at the hearing
this morn.ng.

IT -MUST comedown:
The New Front to the Hussey Build
in? Is-Over the Street Line.
ITS OWNER MUST TOE THE MARK;
A Controversy With a Neighbor Develops
the Case.
FIFTH ATEN0E BLOCITAI'ED FOR IIOUES
The Department cf Public "Works yester
day notified the contractor on the new front
to the Hussey building, adjoining Xewell's
Fifth avenue restaurant, that the building
was extended four .inches out over the street
line and that the building must be moved
back. John Newell, w ho owns the build--ing
adjoining, will this morning, he said, go
into court and ask that the Husiey building
contractor be restrained from completing
the new front to the building on the ground
that the new wall nnd front now being con
structed extend 13 inches over the Newell
property line.
The Hussey building contractor and Mr.
Newell enjoyed a lively time for several
hours yesterday, and from morning until
night the one stood watching the other
while a score or more of skilled stone
masons stood about watching them both.
The foundation for the new front to the
Hussey building extends deep into the base
ment. "When it was constructed to the
pavement Newell discovered that the sub
stantial wall of his neighbor wt s pushing
over a footnr more onto his property line.
One side of the front had been completed
and the contractor with a steam crane was
swinging the huge corner stone into place
on the Newell side of the structure, when
Mr. Newell discovered that his wall was be
ing infringed upon.
John NewoH's Very-Clever Ka.
The great stone suspended in the air was
being shift edjnto place when Newell called a
halt. The 'workmen refused to halt, how
ever. The- were ordered by their employer
to lower the stoue, but just when it was
about to drop into position, Mr. Newell re
moved from the stone beneath the mortar
and cement and the stone was again raised
and shifted to the street.
City Engineer Brown was then sent for.
He spent a time making measurements. He
first found by examining diagrams, plans,
plots and maps that the Hussey building
was encroaching 13 inches upon Newel Ps
property, and Mr. Nevcll in the absence of
an officer remained at the corner to protect
his property. A discussion between the
City lhi.j:necr and the contractor brought
about lufthcr measurement, when it was dis
covered that the new front extended four
inches too far into the street. Engineer
Brown then served written notice on the
contractor and the owner of the property
that work on the building "should be sus
pended and that the building should be
moved back four inches to the street line.
The architect, the contractor and the
agent for the owner of the building then
held a conference. Mr. Newell stood on
the pedestal where it was intended the cor
ner stone should stand, the conference re
sulted in a visit to Chief Bigelow's oihee.
They returned to their work at 5 o'clock in
the evening. Mr. Newell returned to his
post nt the same time. Again the huge
corner stone was hoited into air. Mr.
Newell had his line positively marked. He
insisted that his property he protected.
"Yon are threatening our men," the
agent for the owner of the Hussey building
said; "I will call the police."
Newell Liuqlfd nnd Held tho Tort.
"You will, will "you?" Mr. Newell re
sponded, swelling out with merrimeu'.
"Hell catch vou it he comes, Mr. .Newell
went on. "My property cost too much to
be given away," he concluded. In the
meantime the contractor an the acent were
growing furious nt Mr. Newell's good
nature. They were talking loud and earn
estly and a lane crowd qf pedestrians
crowded about. The corner stone had been
dropped on the pavement, and it was block
ading the street. People hurrying to their
homes were forced into the -trecton account
of the obstruction. The workmen
stood about awaiting orders. It was
time for them to quit work, but they could
not go and leave the street blockaded with
a stone weighing several tons. The Hussey
agent then attempted to secure a compro
mise with Newell, but to no effect. Then
another conference was held by the pgent
nnd the contractor. The stone was again
swung info the street and the workmen were
dismissed for the day.
In the contest Mr. Newell seems to have
won the fii st point. His attorneys will go
into court this morning with a demand that
his property be protected, ar.d an attorney

Trades Acsembfcr Discusses tho Feasibility

chtgps Tho Estimates Scaro it.
At the meeting of the Trades Assembly
last Saturday night the proposition of
starting a national labor daily paper in
Pittsburg was discussed. This is not the
first time this matter has been brought up
in labor circles. Many of ihc leaders are
eager that such a move should, be
made, but they arc leery of the out
come. Many talks were made on the possi
bility of getting telegraphic service and
other requisites for operating a daily. Tne
matter will be brought up again at the As
sembly's meeting Saturday night of next
week."
Since the meeting the members have been
mailing inquiries and estimates on what
would be necessary to run a daily. They
have found that it would be impos
sible to get cither the Associated
Press or TJmed Press service. There might
be a slight chance though rf their securing
an American Press Association franchise,
but in thi the odds against the scheme arc
great. Their estimates on labor, oftiee
equipments, etc., have scared them, and it
lookn as though the scheme would go to the
shelf to keep company with many of its
predecessors.

A .NEW MOVE AGAINST SPEAiT-EASIES
Detective Hesser, agent of the Nnrthside
Liquor Protective Association, will in a
short time take up the fight of the liquor
dealers against the clubs in Allegheny. He
has collected all evidence necessary and
thinks the citizens will approve the move.
In connection with the work he ha3 re
ceived the following letter:
"AiJiEcnEsr, Pa., Jan. 8, 1892.
"Mr. Killlesser:
"Dear Sir Having seen in Tur. Dis
patch that you intend' to close the clubs in
town I want to call your attention to a
club known as 'Bachelors Club," which
meets on Park wav. That club consists of
nearly all city officials from the lowest to
the highest. Drinking, gambling and even
worse than that is their aim, tip day and
night. My husband often comes borne 2
and 3 o'clock in the morning.
A Weary Wife Koastsn Club.
"It is no more or less than a gambling
den and speak-easy combined. It is, in my
estimation, one of the corrupt places in the
city, and has caused many a heart ache to
good women at home. ""
"They have beds, or may be only lounges,
and when they get so drunk they can't walk
they sleep until they become sober enongh
to go home. The den is open dayand l.ight,
Sundays and week days. Sunday, I should
say, is their best day. Te club is composed
of city official and men with political influ
ence and that is the reason the law will not
push them, so my husband tells me. In a
few days I will mail you a list of the most
prominent members of this home destroy
ing hole.
"Pardon me for making this an anony
mous letter. I must be careful. "
Another letter received by Mr. Hcjscr is
as follows:
WbII of Another NegVctert Tyife.
"Dkaij Sir I have noticed in Tun
DisrA'iciI of the 2d" instant the interest
you are taking in the overhauling of clubs
sinks of iniquity to nnuy a neglect etl
wife and family, "i speak personally. I
have long prayed that some movement
might be taken to suppress the Sunday
di inking that is carried "on.
"There is one of these clubs in particular
that I hope and pray to God you may give
yourattntion, namely, the Palace Club, on
Spring Gurdi'u avenue, within the city
limits. My husband he is away from
home at work all week, and Sunday morn
ing goes to the club and comes home at 12
o'clock at night in a drunken condition.
He buv- a ticket for 51 that entitles him to
20 drinks of beer or one drink of whisky.
Now, what speak-easy could give more
privileges?
"Mr. Hesser when you make your list of
these damnable places, please give this one
your attention and beenre the blessing of
more than one neglected wife."
Besides the movement against clubs, Mr.
Hesser stated .that the Northside Protective
Association expects to adopt a new method
to suppress soeak-easies. "Wc will notify
property holders," he continued, "to stop
renting to persons whoell liquor illegally
and in case they refuse, we w ill prosecnte
thrm. Brewers will also b warned to stop
selling to speak-en.iy proprietors. If we
can't suppress speak-ensies in one way we
can in another and we intend to do it."

Allegheny Gfcs Company Stockholders
Kicking Over tho Dividend It Is Only
810,000 arrt There Is a Surplus of
8G1.000 Now on5! Hand.
The passage of the'qnart,erly dividend by
the Allegheny Heating Company is very
distasteful-to many of the minority stock
holders, not particularly on account of the
money involved, but they fear it is a part
of the policy of the majority which will
wreck the stock in course of time just as
other similar companies have been demoral
ized. James Richie, Jr., Treasurer of the Alle
gheny Ga3 Company, said he could see no
reason whatever for'the action, as the com
pany had on hand several timesthe amount
of money necessary to pay it. Mr. Richie
was not disposed to go iuto the matter
deeply, but thought that the least that
could" be said about it was that it was
rjdicnlous in the extreme to pretend that
there was any necessity to hold back
tl0,000,and prejudice the community against
a company that is making money, and is
well supplied with gas and will continue to
make money under proper management.
A man, not a -stockholder, stated that
when the proposal to pass the dividend was
first mooted there were minority stockhold
ers who might attempt to carry the matter
into court, as they thought the motive as
signed by the majority was merely a cover
for an insidious attack on the stock of the
company. He said there was 562,000 be
longingto the company lying in the First
National Bank, over six times the amount
of the dividend.
A broker who is posted on most affairs of
this kind asked, "What canjthe minority do
about it, if it should go into court?" Being
asked the necessity for the passage he re
plied that it wrs necessary to make good
the shortace growing out of the Shields
affair. "But," said the inquirer, "some
people cave out that Shields had fixed up
his trouble with the company." "Well,
said the broker, "there was a sort of settle
ment, but you see lie paid in chips and
whetstones, and you can't make much out
of them."
There is a great deal of latent heat under
lving.coiicerningnot only the passage of the
dividend, but the Shields settlement as well,
but the kickers are reticent and oiily in
dulge in innuendo.
