Attorney Dausherty Attempts Joke. - Ticking up the paper in which the al leged libel was printed, Mr.Daugherty read the first headline, "And Quay, too, was in it." "That is fcslang expression," said Mr. Daughertv, "aird I don't know what it means. If any person was indicted for using slang, th"cy" ought to be found guilty on that evidence, but it is Senator Quav, not the English language, that is suing for .libel." He spoke at length to prove there was no malice, and said the defendants were not negligent, because statements as published were iurnished by the Chairman of the State Committee, who was considered a reliable authority. To investigate, he stated that it would have been necessary to have gone 3S0 miles to Philadelphia. Concluding his speech, Mr. Daugherty startled judge, jury, attorneys and spectators by saying: "If any man should sav that a jury was ever packed as this one has been, he would be branded as an infamous liar." The attorneys for the prosecution jumped to their feet "and yelled "lie" in a half dozen different tones of voice. It was the first real excitinsr incident of the trial, but was quickly quelled by the Court. Attorney W. H. Thomson, a Democrat, argued for the prosecution. He defended the right of the Commonwealth to select jurcrs acconlius to the law and said it was notau unfair advantage. There were three things he claimed necessary to justify any publication. He defined them as proper occasion, proper motive and reasonable or probable caUse. The motive of the Star in publishing the charges against Qu3y, he thought, were political, and he saw no rea sonable cause. Judge Wiclcham's Opinion on Libel. Jndse Wickbam's charge to the jury oc cupied three-quarters of an hour. It was clearly stated and was admitted by both at torneys for the defense and prosecution as being impartial. He defined the privileges of the press and said whenever it over Teaches them it becomes a foe to so ciety, a wolf in ihe fold, instead of a watch-dog at the door. The crit icism of official conduct, as long as it is not defamatory, he stated, is a priv ileged communication, and even when the communication is defamatory unless malice or negligence can be shown, it is net a libel. Eeferring to the claim of the A'tar proprie tors that they were not the authors of the alleged libel, His Honor stated that it was the publishing, not the penning of a com munication that constitutes libeL Heading the paper in which the publication was made, Judge "Wickham commented on the line: "Unmistakable evidence that the Lone Fisherman plaved an important part in the gigantic Dardsley steal" "Who is the lone fisherman?" the Judge asked. "We hate the statement that it was a nick name applied to Senator Quay. It is not uncommon for public men to be desig nated in this way. A Congressman whom I knew in Michican was known as 'The Roar ing Lion of the Saginaws.' Andrew Jack son was called 'Old Hickory,' and you are to decide whether or rot the 'LoneFisber man' referred to 3L S. Quay." The question to be decided by the jurv, Judge "Wickham said, was whether there was reasonable cause for believing that Quay was implicated in the Bardsley steal ings simply because his name was found on a certificate in tiie broken down Keystone Bank; whether the statements made were true, and if not, whether or not there was malice or negligence in the publication. JOT IH THE QUAY. CAMP. The Outcome or the Libel Salt Pleases the Quaker City Leaders. Senator Quaj's witnesses, including his Beaer lawyers, registered at the Duquesne last evening. In the party were ex-State Chairman W. H. Andrews, David Martin, Charles A. Porter and Jacob Wildemore, Philadelphia; Bobert M. Tardley, receiver for the Keystone Bank, James W. Latta, clerk of the Philadelphia Quarter Sessions, and Taylor Faunce, an expert accountant Hamilton Disston, the Quaker City saw man, who likes to dabble iu politics for rec reation, arrived in the city on the limited, and will add his testimony to the others in the trial of the libel suit here to-dav. Mr. Andrews acted as spokesman for the crowd, and he had nothing to say. Thev had come to Pittsburg to rest for the nigtit and appear at the trial this morning. TJicv were all feeling good over the outcome of the suit at Bea er. Mr. Martin thought it strange that the Star should persist in its attacks up to the hour of the trial. Attorney Buchanan remarked that lie had often ad vised the Senator to sue for libel before when some newspaper had jumped dn him savagely. The Philadelohiapoliticians had little sympathy for the Mar people. Senator Quay was expected here last evening, but iu i ue ou nana un;u mis morning. The Philadelphia politicians have been pumped dry lately on politics. Thev are the people who turned down Harrison in the recent conduct for national delegates.

The man was named yesterday afternoon, but just who he is the public will scarcely know to a certainty before February L Chief Brown, C. L. Magee and Senator Flinn were closeted together in the Chiefs private office almost all afternoon yester day. The Chief left the cfHce at 3:30 o'clock, but was mum on the superintendencv sub ject. The two others remained over an hour longer. "When they finally came out a party of politicians outside smiled know-inch- at each other, and one remarked: "That settles flip superintendent msttpr" A gentleman who knew the result of the conference would not deny, when asked, that a selection had been ma'de. Afterward it was stated on good authority that the man had been selected. Chief Brown will not announce the ap pointment until his new term begins, Feb ruary 1, and nobody can speak authorita tively on the subject until then. The gen eral opinion about Citv Hall yesterdav was that Assistant Superintendent O'Mara had secured the plum. IJ'nck Tavor Kansas City.

FOEMEK IMTLOIES STILL CONFIDENT Another decisive battle was fought in the Pittsburg, Allegheny and Manchester Street Railway fight yesterdav, but it is only the beginning and before to-day is over even more serious happenings than those of last Saturday may be chronicled. The ball opened yesterday morning at 5 o'clock, when Motorman May was going to work. Just opposite the car stables several men were standing, and as he passed them they followed, chas ing him to the office door. There he halted and pulled a revolver and drove the men back. At 10 o'clock about 15 men had been secured, and seven or eight cars were sent out. AH went well until Beaver aud "Washington avenues was reached, when about 50 men run from the crowded pavements and cut .the trolley ropes, while the motormen and conductors were caught and hurled into the snow banks at the side. A mob gathered around them, but the men escaped. The, cars were then run back to the stables. Rmnbirdcd the Jlotorman With Snow. All was tranquil after this onslaught un til in the afternoon. Shortly after 4 o'clock ten cars were got in readiness and sent out. A DlSPATcn reporter made the round trip on the last car. Tne trip to town was un eventful, with the exception that the boys along the streets snowballed Conductor Shannon and Motorman Seamens. - "When the waiting place at Liberty and Market was reached, the sidewalk was lined with people, who were in sympathy with the strikers. They had to be dispersed several times by the policemen. The car, on its return trip, ran success fully until it turned into Beaver avenue. As it turned around the corner the motor man was besieged with snowballs from both boys and men. He was hit on the face with the frozen snow until his skin was of a scarlet hue. As the car ran down the avenue the crowd increased, and a man driving a beer wagon got on the tracks, and, urged by the crowd drove slowly, thus impeding the progress of the car. This was the opportunity for the mob and they pelted Seamens with snow until he was nearly powerless. The policemen were inactive and let the crowd do about as it pleased. Had thev attended to their duty, that or what followed would not have hap pened. One of the Strikers Drew a Gnn. Just as the car crossed Beaver avenue a huge stone was thrown at Conductor Shan non. He dodged it and it struck against the door behind him with a loud crash. Soon after this a man started out of the crowd and ran np behind the car,seemingly. to catch the trolly rope. Shannon saw him, and seizing a switch rod struck several times at the man, but missed him. The man then dropped back and drew a revolver bnt did not shoot. He was arrested and gave his name as A. J.Mitchell. He was charged with disorderly conduct As the officer caught him he was seen to hand the revolver to a friend. The man was afterward released for a hearing this morning. Later it was learned hat Mitchell was a striking motor man. After this affray the car, was stopped for tbe night. "Want an Injunction .1tr.ilr,t the 3Tes. Yesterday afternoon a bill in equitv was filed by the Pittsburg, Allegheny and Man chester Traction Company asking for an in junction against the Pittsburg, Allegheny and Manchester Traction Boad Em ployes' Assembly 3798, Knights of Labor, and Master "Workman George Morton; Secretary, B. Buchanan; Boad Committee, G. A. Calvin, William R Coch ran, George P. Morton and J. C. Mullin, officers of 3798, and District Master "Work man Dempsey and others. After reciting that the Pittsburg. Alle- gheny and Manchester Traction Company is an incorporated body and the assembly is unincorporated and lbrmed for the purpose of illegally coercing the plaintiff into acceding to certain demands made in rela tion to the manner and method of said company in operating its road, the bill states its officers have combined in the per petration of illegal ,acts. In the fourth section the bill relates that in October the road began to operate by means of electricity. It became necessary to make changes in the schedule. The em ployes took exception to certain changes and for the purpose of illegally bringing about a revision of such changes to their own personal advantage organized them selves as an Assemblv of the Knlffhtu nf Labor. Trespasses on the Company's Property. lhe hfth section says the Koad Com mittee called meetings, and it threatened to force the company to make concessions. On the evening of January 14, the assembly, by some of its members, unknown to the complainant, illegally entered upon its property, called a meeting at midnight and ordered a strike. Section seven shows that members ui iuu .ttsseinoiy, some oi whom are un known to the complainant, have illegally boarded the company's cars and have used abusive and threatening language to the men now in charge, also threaten ing them with bodily harm unless they quit work. On the evening of January 15, the members of the Assemblv illegally caused the track to be blocked and" rendered it inoperative. They also placed rail road torpedoes on the tracks. The following day the members of the Assembly, designated bv the badges worn,, with the knowledge of H. F. Demp sey, impeded the passage of cars, by taking position ,a!ong the track and in timidating the men. The same evening a. F. Dempsey officiated and road Committee notified the company that tbey" would continue the strike and by all means illegally and wrongfully prevent the company from operating the road. The Court Asked to Interfere. It is therefore prayed that by -preliminary injunctions hereafter to be made perpetual, to enjoin the mem bers of the Assembly from in any way-,-manner or method interfering with the operation of the road. It alsopravs that H.t F. Dempsey and all the members be enjoined to absent themselves from the property in the proximity of the company's roadbed. The arguments arc to be heard in the case this afternoon at 3 o'clock. Secretary Keeper, of the company, said last night: "The directors of the company met this afternoon and decided to run the road at all cost We have notified Sheriff McCIeary that our cars had been stopped by mobs and the lives of the em ployes of the company were . in THE PITTSBURa- danger. "We have also told him that if in the future any damage was done to the com pany's property the county would be held responsible for it Cars "Will Be Guarded by Police. "This afternoon we made information be fore Alderman Gripp against 10 of the strikers, charginr them with cutting ropes and preventing the operation of the road. They will be arrested to-night I cannot give the names out until to-morrow. "To-morrow the number of policemen will be increased to 55 and Chief Murphy will be here in charge, we win run out 15 cars, and on each car three officers will be placed, one with the motorman and two with the conductor. There will also be a number oi officers along the line, both in uniform and citizen's dress." The strikers spoke cheerfully of tbe con dition of affairs yesterday and said they were confident of winning. Last night they made an effort to secure a conference with President Dalzell and George B. Hill, bnt failed. They held a meeting at 12 o'clock last night, the result of which could not be learned. ROHE WILL DROP THEM. The Alderman Expresses Blmself Vigor ously Against the I and O. and Its Methods He Supports the Newspapers and Says He Is Sick of the L. and O. Vusiness. The exposure by the newspapers of the methods and objects of theLaw and Order Society seems at last to have produced the same effect on Alderman Michael Bohe that it has on most other people of the com munity and upon the outside world. If his statements to a reporter yesterday are to be believed, he is thoroughly disgusted with the whole petty and despicable business, and will probably accept no more suits from the Law and Order agents. Mr. Bohe was'found sitting in front of a comfortable fire in his little office yesterday afternoon surrounded by a half dozen men of the neighborhood, who, from their con versation, were bitterly " opposed to the Law and Order and its employes, and who had evidently been presenting their views to the Alderman. Kolio Is Tired of the I, and O. Gang. Their influence seemed to. have had some effect When the reporter entered the 'Squire was quick to offer him a chair, and, in response to a question, answered that no Law and Order suits had been entered be fore him since last Sunday. "In fact," hecontinued, "I have not seen any of the Law'and Order people since last Saturday and I am not anxious to see any of them. Mr. Matthews, the news agent from the East End, whose case was decided on Saturday, came in this morning with an order from Court for a transcript of his case, which he has appealed. He was the only person connected with any of the cases of the Law and Order Society that I have seen since Saturday." "What do you think of the Law and Order Society and its methods by this time, 'Squire?" was the next question. "I don't care to speak too plainly, but I will say that I am now in hearty sympathy with the newspapers in the fight they are making- I hope they will keep it up un til the old Blue Laws are blotted out. Then prosecutions of a petty nature, such as the Law and Order Society has been making, will be impossible. I believe a great ma jority of the people are opposed to anything that will limit public convenience. The liogle Man Is-Now Homeless. "I take the Sunday newspapers myself and would often buy a cigar on Sunday if I could. I think the sale of botji should be allowed freelv, and every other harm less convenience that the people want should be permitted on Sunday the same as other days. It is not right that the queer notions of a few old cranks should interfere with the comfort, convenience or wishes of the public" "In view of these strong sentiments of yours, 'Sguirc, will vou receive any more Law and Order suits?" "That is veiy doubtful, very doubtful. it win aepenu very much on circum stances." "What is your opinion of the society's agents?" The Alderman arose excitedly. "Its agents! well, 1 was going to say something, but guess I won't now. I am "sick olthe Law and Order business. " TWO BRAKEMEN KILLED In an Accident on the PIKsbnrc;, McKjes- port anJ I'onchloghrny Kail road A Weakened Bridge Give Way nnd Half a Freight Train Goes Down. The Belleveraon local freight, on the Pittsburg, McKeesport and Youghiogheny Bailroad, iu charge of Engineer Harry 2"eal and Conductor Billy Kline, met with an accident at 8 o'clock yesterday morning on the long bridge between Baukin and Homestead. Just before the freight came r?JonS a car jumped the track into the Carrie JB urnace yard, directlv underneath. The car jammed into the bridge and knocked down one of the pillars, thus weakening the bridge. As the engine of the local freight passed the place where the pillar had been knocked down, Fireman Bruce says he 'felt the en gine sink. 'It passed safely, but the bridge gave way immediately after, and six box cars crashed through and piled on top of eacn other on tbe ground 40 feet below. Two brakemen, Alexander Caruthers and Charley Hose, were on top of the cars as they went through. Both men were taken from the wreck soon after, unconscious and terribly injured. They were carried to the Braddoek Wire Works, nearby. Caruthers died before the arrival of aid, and Hose was so fearfully injured that he also died soon after. The six box cars w ere loaded with merchandise, and goods were strewn in all directions. The engine was left standing '"j u uue Biue 01 xue ureaic ana the caboose on the other, the cars having broken away from them in the plunge. Brakeman Gibbons, whose place was on top of the train, he being front man, was in the caboose eating his breakfast at the time, and escaped, while Caruthers, who usually volunteered to do his work on such occasions, was on -the cars and lost his life by it Caruthers leaves a wife and three children living oh Thirty-secoifd street, Sonthside, while Hose leaves a wife and four children at Belleveraon.

NOT ONE OP THEM GOT AWAY. 1 Quiet Layout Raid to Exist on the South side of the City. CAPrEKS WHO APPROACH THE SPORTS Gamblers have to move again. Yesterday true bills were .found against 13 of the sports at the Beserve township "Monte Carlo." But the game has been started again and is now flourishing on the Sonthside. A few years ago. it looked as if-Pitts-burg had thrown open her arms and, with all the solicitous beckoning of a Monte Carlo croupier who politely points you to a seat at the gaming table, was welcoming the outside world to come on and dally with the capricious Goddess in all manner of forms., Sermons were preached on the subject, com munications of protest were sent the press, the officials wre censured for allowing gambling to exiat under their very eyes, and the peaceable public made a distinctive and decisive "holler." At some time or other revolutions in all phases of life must come. The revolution in the gambling privileges came with a new city administra tion. The pool rooms were closed, the poker dens raided, the swell faro banks were notified to close up. At first the owners thought it was only a temporary sweeping up, and everything would be running wide open as soon as the public clamor quieted (itself. Not so. At every move made by pro prietors to resume business they would be raided and fined as also would the habitues. Either "Went Out or "Went Broke. Then it became apparent that the authori ties meant just what they said, and the warnings of the police finally were heeded quite religiously by the sporty boys. Many of the latter, like the Arab, gathered up a big stack of "blues" and hi3 green cloth -and silently stole away. Some went East and some went West and some went broke before thev got out of town. However, about the old haunts of the gang there was a far-away look in their eyes when they caught sight of each other. The expression mutely said: "There are only a few of us left, and we're dying oft fast" Nothing in the gambling line" was to be had in the two cities with any degree of satisfaction. In every dark corner there lurked an officer, and when an occasional short card game or a gathering of loyal ex ponents of "draw," the chips confiscated in the raid were usuallv found to be muffled. It got to be so tedious to the gentlemen who were wont to speculate about a circular table that when they emerged from the Central station after having contributed a "tenner" to the city's rake-off, a sad shake of the hand plainly told they were inwardly muttering --.ao use, no use. Founding or the Great Monte Carlo. Time wore on about its business just as it always has, and gambling was a word scarcely heard fn this progressive city. People who are identified with sporting events are usuallv gifted with shrewdness and cunning. No matter what reverses and vicissitudes they meet with in their daily walks of life, the good and true sport pous up, oroKe or uusn, singing plulosopn ically, What is the use of repining? Some of the "old has beens" got together last smnmer and concocted a scheme by which they could outwit the city officials at least, nnd stand the county officers off for a short season. Just long enough to crop ont a good, big bank roll. This they did. The new rendezvous was not as palatial perhaps as "818" in New York, but the layout was there just as big and active. It was situated in Beserve township, just over the Allegheny Citv's line, on East street All the talent from both cities frequented the two resorts, where farp and iroulette could lie played to one's heart's content A number of poker rooms aDounacu ana nourisnea liKe the proverbial green bay tree. Names of the TJulncky Thirteen. This state of affairs went on until District Attorney Burleigh took measures to have the violation of law cease. He instructed County Detective Beltzhoover to arrest the proprietors, which he did, end now comes the sequel to the whole affair. True bills were found against 13 people who were in strumental in sending the nefarious voca tion along. The names of the indicted persons are: Edward Cappes, Daniel Einstein, Prank Freyvogle, P. Gleason. William Foley, Robert Hart, Frank Kettlemyer, David Leech, Faldy Leasure, William McClure and William Bobbins for keeping a gambling house, including Thomas Behm and Mrs. Young for rent ing houses for gambling purposes. Bight in the face of this comes the state ment from a well-known sporting man that there is gambling galore going on over on the Southside of Pittsburg. No later than last Saturday, he said, a well-known "cap per" of Hebrew blood approached him and asked if he cared to engage in a fly with the ticer. The sport knew the fellow very well and knew he meant,husines3. Supposed to He In Beltzhoover. He, however, did not. feel like going over to play the bank, but asked the "steer" where he could find the place should he want to come over some time in the future. His friend would not tell him definitely, but said it was on the Southside, and that he would take, him there if wanted to go over. The representative said there was no nnmber over the door, and that it was quite a distance on the Birmingham line of cars. ' He said everything went, meaning anv game from faro to craps was open to" ail comers who were safe. It is thought this place is down Beltzhoover borough. A Dispatch reporter went over to the "Blue Lion" in Beserve township last night, bnt not a click of a chip nor a'chick ofa coin was heard. Persons over there say that neighborhood is as pure as snow, and the places which once knew the gay.and festive gamblers now know them no more. An Awfnl Sentence Imposed. The.case of Martin vs. Drewsf on trial in Common Pleas Court No. 3, before Judge McClung, an action in ejectment in Bald win township, over wliich a surveyor's line was in dispute yesterday, became one of the most muddled cases heard in many a day. Finally when the Judge, the jury, and O'Brien and Carpenter for the plaintiff,and Brown and Lamhie for the defendant, and the surveyors lor all, got so badly tangled in the harness that they all tumbled down into a heap and could kick no longer, the Judgeidirected McCully and Kennedv. sur veyors, to go on the ground and fix the line and report this morning, the penalty being that if the report is not satisfactory they will be sentenced to serve 60 days on the Survey Committee of Pittsburg Councils. Some of those interested incline to think they bave been laboring under a delusion in believing that mathematics is aa exact science. War Would Teach a Few lessons. W. B. Churchman, of Philadelphia, who is engaged in the soda ash business, regis tered at the Monongahela House last even ing. Mr. Churchman thinks a war with Chile would be a good thing for the country. It would demonstrate to the people in the interior, who have objected to naval appro priations, the necessity or first-class war ships for such events as the Chilean affair, which are liable to occur at any time. Enough damage could be done to seaport towns in case of war to build a now. Mr. Churchman says it is time to build armored ships and coast defenses. ' JA2TTJAEY SO. 1892L M'CLURG WANTS $20,000. An Hast End Man Sues an Allegheny Physi cian for Winning Away His TTlfe's Affections and Wants Monetary Satis factionThe Defendant's Story. Dr. W. D. Bankin, of 103 Sandusky street, Allegheny, is a physician of consid erable fame in both cities. Yesterdaya suit was instituted against him by John G. Mc Clurg, a foreman, living on Frankstown avenue, who charges the physician with .alienating the affections of his wife, Mar garet M. .McClurg. The injured husband wants 520,000 for the alleged injury and de privation of the comfort, fellowship, society, aid and assistance of his wife, brought about by the defendant's intimacy with Mrs. Mc Clurg. This has existed at intervals sine May 15, 1889, according to the bill filed, and it is specificallv chareed that Dr. Bankin and Mrs. McClurg have taken trips together, visiting Eastern cities and other places on pleasure bent It also states that she received money and presents frotn the defendant, and that the latter advised her to desert her husbandand home on June 25, 1891, since which date she has remained absent. Dr. Bankin was found in his office last night and asked what line of defense he would set np against the charges made. He langhed lightly, adding that he had just been apprised of McClurg's suit "Do you deny them?" asked the reporter. "Why, certainly I deny them. I know John G. McClurg and his wife; I have al ways been their family physician. I haven't given the matter much thought yet, but to-morrow I will consult my attorney and then I will be more able to answer as to my intentions. If McClurg thinks he will get 520,000 out of me he will have a hot time doing it" Whether this remark was meant to con vey the idea that he would bitterly oppose the issue, or that the doctor did not possess 520,000, is a matter of conjecture. How ever, he thought that a man could not have much affection for his wife if content to sell it for a sum of monay. "This suit is brought for effect," con tinned Dr. Bankin, "and I happen to know the reason. Mrs.McClurelias filed a bill for divorce against her husband, charging cruelty and other good grounds specified in the record. I was summoned bv the lady's legal adviser and gave some evidence which was damaging to the husband, it in itself being sufficient to warrant) any court to grant a divorce in favor of the applicant. Her husband knows this, and his suit against me is purely one of malice, he thus hoping to cirenmvent his wife securing a divorce, and at the same time endeavoring to maice a pecuniary gam from me. J0BBEB AGAINST MAKER. A Fierce Fight Being "Waged for tower Friers on Flate Glass. A meeting of plate glass manufacturers will be held in Indianapolis to-day. It was called by the Kokomo and De Pauw people. Edward Ford, of the Pittsburg Plate Glass Company; A. TJ. Howard, of the Howard Company, and B. E. Wheeler, of the But ler plant, left for the Hoosier capital last evening, Mr. Ford was very frank and spoke freely about the object of the meet ing. The association was formed for the purpose of maintaining prices, and this will be the principal subject discussed. Last summer the jobbers met in Boston, and asked for a big cnt in the price of plate glass. The manufacturers declined to grant it, and Mr. Ford says the jobbers started in at once to force them. They have bought very little glass since, and the business has not been so dull for the last, nine vears- Mr. Ford thinks if the makers can " hold out Lure weefc.3 louder me joDuers win ue compelled to buy lor the March trade. In' New York the architects are loaded down with work, and this is true in Pittsburg. The building trade expects to do an extensive business during the summer. This is the dull period for the glass men, but Mr. Ford thinks victory is within their grasp if they can only stick to gether. Since the meeting was held in Pittsburg about a month ago some manu facturer has cut the prices. "The World's Fair will make a great deal of business," continued Mr. Ford, "but there is sure to be a collapse after it is over. Somebody will sutler. If our prices were forced down now we would never be able to push them up again. The profits in the in dustry are small enough as it is. Since we have returned to coal it requires 65 per cent more boiler power to run our plant We arc now putting in a number of new boilers. I think in another year that a fuel gas as cheap and good for fuel purposes as the nat ural fluid will be produced." ' HEAITHY FINANCIAL COHDITIOff. The Turchase or B. & O. Stock by a Foreign Syndicate U Good for This City. A Fourth avenue banker remarked to a DISPATCH reporter to-dsy that the sale of 55,000,000 Baltimore and Ohio stoctto the New York and London Syndicate was a marked indication "of the present healthy financial condition, and added that this means great things for the Baltimore and Ohio and indirectly for Pitttbure;. The Pittsburg and Western will be double tracked and made eqnal to any road out of Pittsburg. Members of this same syndicate are said to have bought more than half a million in securities of the Pittsburg Com pany at Ellwood, including the Ellwood Short Line Bailroad. The officers of the Pittsburg Company refused to affirm or deny the report, but a representative of London bankers has within a week been visiting Ellwood. It is not more than two months ago since the foreign bankers, who inspected the Bal timore and Ohio road, were in Pittsburg in company with Third Vice President C. K. Lord. At that time they claimed they were stockholders in the road. One of them while here received 22 cablegrams from London.

IIOW FOB THE DEMOCRATS. Mr. Clark Says He Will Beat W. J. Brennan for Division Chairman. There will be some lively hair pulling when the Democratic State' Committee meets at Harrisburg this morning. The liveliest time the followers of Jackson have had for several years is expected. Among the faithful who left for Harrisburg last evening were Thomas Mullen, Barney Mc- Kenna, W. J. Brennan, Austin Clark, of Kittanning, and J. L. "Corbett, County Chairman for Greene. By reason of his position Mr. Corbett is a member of the State Committee entitled to a vote. He an nounced without hesitation that he is for Kerr for Chairman and J. M. Guffey for National Committeeman. Austin Clark is the man who is contesting the division chairmanship with W.J. Bren nan. He looks like a rather smooth article with small mutton chop whiskers. The case will be presented to the committee, and he feels confident that he will knock Mr. Brennan into a cocked hat. The feeling aniong the Western Pennsylvania Demo crats is that Kerr will be re-elected. Gone on a Sontbern Trip.

REFUSE TO TESTIFT, and the Investigating Committee Compel Them To. Can't CLAIM TO HATE SOME NEW EVIDENCE The committee appointed to investigate certain charges against Chief Murphy met yesterday afternoon in the office of Harvey Henderson, No. 40G Grant street, and claim to have gathered sufficient evidence to war rant a demand for a joint sesf ion of Coun cils to pursue the matter further. The nature of the evidence could not e as certained, the committeemen declining pos itively to make any of it public at present The committee consisted of Chairman Lewis and Messrs. Parke, Eohinson, Al brecbt, Henderson nnd Paulin. The prose cution was represented bjr" City Solicitor Elphinstone. The committee has had con siderable difficulty in securing evidence on the alleged charges. Some time azo it thought it had two important witnesses who could be relied on to appear and testify. Bnt when the committee met the witnesses failed to come forward, giving' as a reason that front office men from Allegheny were watching them, and they were afraid to give testimony against Murphy. Letter "Writers In Plenty. Three letters were receied by the com mittee yesterday from parties claiming to know of various instances where Chief Murphy had been guilty of misdemeanor in office, but they failed to give details. One or two witnesses put in an appearance. They were questioned closely as to what they knew, and from the character of their evidence the committee decided to present a resolution in Councils to-morrow asking for a joint session of both branches. One member of the committee stated that CouncilsVwould have the power to compel witnesses in possession- of information bearing on the matter to appear and tell what they know, whereas the present com mittee has not this power. The committee claims to be in possession of the names of important witnesses who still reluse to come before it Jnstlce Deminds an Investigation. It takes the position that, in justice to Chief Murphy and the citizens of Alle gheny, there should be a full and open .in vestigation. It will set forth in its resolu tion that the evidence bronght out thus far warrants such an investigation, and it will insist on having it Chief Murphy, when heheard of the meet ing last night, said he would assist the com mittee in its investigation, if his attorneys do not object, as he has nothing to conceal and the worst that can be said against him has already been discussed ppblicly. The attorneys for the prosecution of the Murphy-Wyman case3 say they are ready for thecourt trial which is to be opened in a few days. A member of the Eeform As sociation charges John Bobb with unpro fessional conduct in taking np the defense in these suits after having been employed by and consulted with the attorneys of the prosecution.

Officers were elected for the ensuing year and tbe retiring officers submitted their report for the year past. Colonel T. P.

He said that in the past the society has been one of the leading organizations in the coun try m masters of public interest in which engineering was a feature 'and hoped it would continue to lead. ' Beferring to young engineers, he .said they should be educated in more ways th&n. one. Their education should not be confined to merely technical matters, but should be broader, and this society was one of the places wherein their views, br social inter course and exchange of opinions on various , topics and different branches of business and . professions, conld be broadened and their minds improved. ' ', Secretary Harlowe reported that here , were 370 active members. During the year a number had -dropped out but the number coming in had balanced them and the enrollment was the same as a year ago. During the year ten papers were read before the society and published. The following are the officers elected for the ensuing year: President, Alfred E. Hunt; Vice Presidents One year. Phineaa Barnes; twoyears, Charles Davis; Directors, Bobert Munroe, G. W. G. Ferris; Secretary, E. N. Clark; Treasurer, A. E. Frost. At the conclusion of the business a discus sion ensued as to bringing the society into more prominent notice. At its conclusion a motion was made and adopted empowering the Secretary to send copies of the proceed ings and papers read at the meetings to all the technical journals, and exchange with such other societies throughout the world as he may see fit. The paper to be read at the next meeting of the society will be by William Metcalf on "Smoke," a topic which, with its kindred one of consumers, is at present interesting the people of Pittsburg. .
