' 81,000 EEWARD 0FFBED, The MancliPKtrr Kailway Officials Mean to Jinn Pars st Alltllrzards Possibly one of the most sensational feat ures of the strike on the Manchester line developed yesterday. It was that of a proposition to Chief Murphy from the officials of the company, oflering a reward of f 1,000 forthe arrest and conviction of any person proven guilty of throwing stones at cars of the company. There were several eases of stone throwing last evening. One occurred at 3Jeavcrjivenue and Washington streets. Several car windows were broken. At Fulton street and Pennsylvania ave nue stones were also thrown, one of which crashed through a w indow and struck alady in the face, cutting but not severely wound ing her. This practice is pronounced by the eiti 7cns and by the leading strikers as cowardly in the extreme and infamously brutal. The practice easily inilit result in the killing of a baby or serious injury to a child. The prominent men of the strikers disclaim any connection or approbation of such pro cedure. The offer of a reward forthe arrestof such persons who, regardless of the result of stone throning, is apt to diminish tjic tuture exercise of this action. Chief Murphy said last night that ladv paslengers and other persons innocent of any provocation Had been injured by this dastardly, reckless action, and that if the strikers continued such brutal measures they would lose the sympathy of the citi zens of Alleghen v. ltpported Snicltleat islinrpsbcirc. Coroner McDowell ivas notified shortly before 12 o'clock last night of the suicide of Mrs. Herman Prosts, of Sharpsburg.

Dr. Graham was called in but was unable to save her aud she died about 11 o'clock. Mrs Prosts was about 35 .years of age. Xone of the particulars of 1 the case were given.

C3 Spring Garden avenue, Allegheny, git into a quarrel last night over some candy, during which Henry was cufin the abdomen with a knife. Chief Murphv was notified and sent Officers Juicy ana Jloreland to the house. The wounded man was taken to the Allegheny General Hospital and the other was ar rested. Tiie cut is likely to prove fatal. Moonshiners Committed to Jail.

A Sarcastic Little Fcreed From Charles Donnelly's Ten. rSCULIAE CONDITION OP A BIG ESTATE The County Commissioners have not fully decided what to do in regard to taking the taxable valuation of the Fourteenth waid. Tbey held a conference yesterday and de cided to refer the matter to County Solici tor Geyer lor an opinion, which he is ex pected to deliver to-morrow It is possible legal steps will be taken to bring the negli gent assessors to time. From a statement made yesterday by Commissioner Boyle, it has been customary for the assessors of the Fourteenth ward to consume more time on the assessment than in any other ward. Three years ago the report was not made until 30 days after the prescribed time, January 13, and for the first time the penally was applied. Ward Assessors re ceive ?2 per day. The penalty takes TiO cents oft' for each day the books are kept out after January 13. The commissioners think the assessors in the Fourteenth ward turned their books in to avoid this penalty, but are willing to go ahead with the assessment if allowed the regular rate of 52 per day. What stps the city Board of Assessors will take in the matter will not be decided until the county officials have adopted a plan of action. Some Intfrestlnc Objections. Considering the large number of notices of assessment that have been sent out in the past few days there ws a small total of ap peals filed at the City Assessor's office yes terday, but the statements made by the ap pellants in general were the most interest ing of any day since the filing of appeals began. Charles Donnelly writes a sarcastic letter in his appeal on 'the 20x00 feet owned by himself and G. T. Raiierty on Smithfield street, adjoining Hotel Duquesne. The as sessors fixed a value of 550,000 on the ground and 58,009 on the build ing. Mr. Donnelly savs: "This prop erty is leased for ?2,800 a year. After paying taxes and rcpajrs the income from the property. on your valuations would not he more tha.i "3J per cent. This is not right. If we cannot get at least 5 perv cent for money we had better sell out. Whilethe property has never been offered, if you are putting these valuations on for the purpose of becoming the owners, I will submit an offer of the valuation you have put on and see if we can't let you invest yonr money. The building cost 57,500 ten years ago. The house and lot cost us 527,500 and was considered a high price. If all the property in the city was put at or near its value as 533,000 for this, you wonld have more money than you could use. This property should not 6e increased in value, as it has had its turn for Jhe last three years. Give some other person a turn for the next tbr.ee." This appeal was not sworn to, ns the others are, and the filing clerks in the office say they do not know how it get in. Confronted vritu tho City's Figures. Isaac Craig's assessment on 42x60 feet, Xos. 420 and Hi Smithfield street, at the corner of Diamond alley, ts assessed $117,501) on tiound and $1,500 on buildings. His appeal calls for a total valuation of $104 379. He savs: "I have "been offered $2,500 per tront foot, but it was withdrawn because the proposed pur chaser believes the city will take 25 feet off to widen Diamond alley. When tho Board of Viewers made their anaid thpyasses.ed my damage at the rate of,f2,047 pordont toot, ion Rsesi ar tuo rate ot iJ.'Jiii per foot, so it seems to be worth $;5 lea ps'f foot when the city wants to buy.

There "Will Be Ten Changes Outside of tbo Department of Public Safety. Chiefs Brown, Biclow and Klliot will begin their new terms to-morrow. In the Departments of Public"VTorks and Charities no changes of employes are anticipated. Chief Bigelow, of tho former, sent ont notices to all his men that their terms had expired. This created some consternation among them, but the chief explained afler ward that it-was only a formality and all Of them would be reappointed. In the Department of Pnblie Safety some chances arc necessary. The principal ones were mentioned yesterday in The Dis rATOI. Some others were seaii-ofiicially announced yesterday. I'x-Conncihnan John Spratt will get a place in the Bureau of Building and Plumbing Inspection, to fill the plare of Captain C. L. Brennen, who is to'o ill to fill his position. It was stated that Lieutenant David Lewis was to be ,redacd to the ranks, but this is hardly credited." Lieutenant Lewis has the record of being one of the most faithful officers in the bureau. He gained his reputation during the fight of Inspector McAleese- against illegal liquor sellers, when ho successfully carried out the heavy end of the work. It is also staled that Charles Gallant will be made Lieutenant. Lieutenants "Waggoner, Holmes and Glenn are said to "be booked for stations 1, 2 and 3 respectively. Chiefs Bigelow nnd Elliot took their oaths of office yesterday before Mayor Gourley, rs well as the superintendents of most of the bureaus.- Appolntments In Abeyance. Chief Brown, of the Safety Department, stated yesterday that the report of the ap pointment.to the su'perintendency and of other changes in the Police Department, was premature, as 110 appointments would be made.until the new term begins. This being in view he-would not signify his pur poses untiWhe time arrived.

Gathering of State Politicians Pittsburg Yesterday. in MI.ZELL SCORES A GREAT POINT By Having Lale Dates Fixed for Legisla tive Conventions. GEORGE SniRAS INDORSED BI THE BAR The Republican campaign in Allegheny county was formally opened by the meeting of the Republican County Committee at City Hall yesterday afternoon. The attend-' ancewas unusually large, and the fight which was begun yesterday afternoon will not end until alter the Presidental election. There were politicians of all grades and sizes. "While Senator Quay was not pres ent his political advisers, helpers and heel ers were out in iorce, and the gathering as sumed for the time the appearance of a State cpnvention. Farmer Taggart, of Montgomery county, who stood as the grangeY candidate for United States Senator against Senator f Cameron a year ago, was probably the most conspicuous figure present. In appearance he is the perfect picture of a well-fed, sub stantial fanner. His iron gray whiskeis 1 most completely hide his fat, roundrpleas ant lace. His soft black hat falls b.iok, ex posing 'a well-shaped, intellectual looking head, and he seemed delighted at meeting so many of his former associates in the State Legislature Mr. Taggart is a candidate for Congresnian-at-lnrge, and he is already at w ork on his campaign. A Great Gathering of Politician. J. M. Carson, of Butler county, Beading clprk of the State Senate, was also there. He come to Pittsburg, he said, just to see his political friends, and he saw many of thctn. Charley H. Fletcher, a member of the Legislature from Philadelphia, also happened in while the committee was in session. He is a iriend of Senator Quay's, and when at home is an ardent politician, but his visit to Pittsburg, he said, was purely .1 social visit and was without politi cal significance. Senators Steele, Upper- man, Keeb nnd Flinn scattered themselves about through the committee. Steele and Upperman are candidates for re-election without substantial opposition, nnd they were out yesterday inst to see that the be't interests of the Republican party were served. Representatives LafTerty. Weaver, Cottor, Lemon, Robinson, Crognn and other of Allegheny county's lawmaker? were present. Jim Richards,who ha grown weary of making laws and is anxious to be chosen Sheriff, talked with constituents from every part of the county, while Vint Stevens, who is content as Gauger of Oil, but whose friends insist he shall be the Re publican candidate for Sheriff, shook hands with all comers and wished them a fair measure of success. Henry Ochse, of Etna, a candidate for Director of the Poor, was being introduced around. Coroner 3!rDnwell 5Vn Ont Hnntlinsr. Coroner McDowell, wio is a candidate to suotfecd himself, was nrobably the mo-t cheerful looking man in the assembly, and at no turn did he overlook an opportu nity to secure for himself a pledge of support. He guaranteed everybody that he .would be renominated. George W. Miller, secretary of the committee, while not engaged with his duties was consulting with his supporters about his prolonged contest for ex-Collector Warmcastle's place. The committee was called to order bv Chairman Gripp. A resolution was adopted thanking the officers of the committee for their efficient work in the last campaign. Dr. D. G. Foster nressnted a resolution. which was passed unauimqr.slv, providing thnt, in accordance with rule 7, the Chair man of the committee be authorised and directed to issue a call for the holding of Republican primary elections in the sereral election districts thioughout the county of Allegheny on Saturdiy, March 5, IS'JL', between the hour of 4 and 7 o'clock p. Ji., to elect delegates to the several conventions hereinafter named, said con eut!on to be convened 0:1 the Tuesday following, viz., March 8, 1SD2, at such time and places as the Chairman of the com mittee shall hereafter designate. The resolution calls forthe election of two delegates and two alternates, each from the Twenty-second and Twenty-third and Alle gheny's part of the Twenty-fourth Con gressional districts to the Republican Na tional Convention. Also that a committee of three be appointed to confer with similar committee irom Washington, Fayette and Greene counties to fix a time for holdingthe latter convention, and that the basis of repre sentation shall be the same as allowed in 1890. The resolutions aho call for legis lative district conventions to elect delegates to the Republican State Convention. Jli.l7.eII Score a Victory. John B. Kennedy ofiercd a resolution which was adopted providing that in ac cordance with rule 6, the Chairman be authorized and directed to issue a call for the holding of Republican primaries on the 28th of May, 1892, between the hours of 4 and 7 oclock r. JI., to elect delegate to the following conventions, which shall be con vened upon the Tuesday following, at such times aud places as the Chairman shall hereafter designate, viz.: County Conven tion Xo. 1, to nominate a candidate for President Judp;e, of Court of Common Picas Xo. 1; candidate for Coroner and Director of the Poor, also to nominate candidates for Congress in the Twenty-second and Twenty third Districts; for Senators in the Forty third and Forty-fifth districts, and candi dates for the Legislature in the First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth", Se-i enth and Eighth districts; also to elect in each district one person as representa tive and member of the Executive Commit tee. The committee then adjourned. The fixing of the Congressional and Leg islative primaries at tho late date is con strued as a victory for Mr. Dalzell, who, under the circumstances it is said, is now assured a solid delegation from Allegheny county. The presence of the visiting poli tician's, it was generally believed, was to secure early primaries in the interest of Senator Quay. EVEEY0HE F0K GE0EGE SHIEAS. The Bar Association Indorses Ilim for Justice Bradley's I'lace. The meeting of the members of the Alle gheny County Bar yesterday morning to reconimead to the Praiident the appoint ment of George Shiras, Jr., as a successor of the late Judge Bradley on the United States Supreme bench was .largely at tended, and' Major A. M. Brown presided. John D. McKcnnan, W. S. Chalfant, a "W. Cunningham and R. B. Petty acted as Secretaries. D. D. Bruce made a short address, after which he presented a series of resolutions, which were unanimously adopted. The resolutions recite the many sterling and brilliant qualities of Mr. Shiras, his rare legal ability, his culture and scholarship, and guaranteeing that he would, if named, be a fair, able and industrious judge whose learning and ability will make him well worthy of a placS- in that eminent tri bunal. Kntertained Philadelphia Politicians. Hon. Charles H. Fletcher and a party of 12 Philadelphia politicians and business men arrived in Pittsburg yesterday in a special car. They spent most of the day in looking about the city, and last night they were entertained at the Young Men's Re- Iiublican Tariff Club. The visitors were de ighted with their treatment. They will leave for Philadelphia to-night. Theycame to Pittsburg, they say, for pleasure. Thev r". .1 t':v? irl1' 'n 1 , it-r-:' while they had considerable- pleasure here they all talked considerable politics. FOR THE WORLD'S FAIR. The Chamber of Commerce Committee Meets nnd Anthoriir tho Appointment of Sub-Committee to Urgo Manufact urers to Assist In Jinking Pittsburg' Ilxhiblt a Success. The committee of the Chamber of Com merce on the Columbian Fair exhibits met yesterday afternoon in the old Thaw resi dence, Fifth street. The meeting was not very largely attended, owing to the sick ness of several members. The object of the session was to hear the report ot the sub committee. It was as follows: "Your sub-Committee on Programme would respectfully submit the following re port: Inasmuch as the State Commission have requested the committee of the Cham ber of Commerce to use its best endeavors to get our manufacturers to make early ap plication for space in the Columbian Expo sition, we recommend that the Chairman be authorized to appoint sub-committees, rep resenting various industries, to per sonally urge upon manufacturers in the branches designated by the wishes of the State Commission, and the ad visability of a proper representation of our industries at the World's Fair. These sub-committees can work in unison with the office opened recently in J'ittsbnrg by the State Commission and can hold themselves in readiness to aid the State Commission in solving the raised problems as they arise. We think it would be well to urge upon the State Commission the necessity of obtaining from Chicago definite plans of the proposed location of our State exhibits, as such plans will ma terially assist the sub-committee in obtain ing applications for space." This report was considered for some time, nnd in pursuance thereof Mr. Scaife offered the following resolution: iiesolved. That the Chairman be cm- f lowered to appoint such sub-committees a in may deem teat from tho present commit tee or Outside of it to represent the indus tries as recommended by tho sub-committee; these sub-committee to contain such num ber of members as the Chairman may deem best. An additional resolution was added to this by Mr. Foster. It read : Resolved, That the Secretary (Mr. Fol lansbee) communicate with the different industrial and commercial organizations and request them each to name one of their members as a member of this committee. Each of these resolutions were adopted. Mr. William Quinn, representing the Com mittee on Manufactures and Machinery of the World'xFair managers of Pennsylvania, was present and stated that these industries were becoming considerably interested. He said that he had some plans of the proposed exhibition and would place them at the disposal of the Chamber of Commerce. Tne meeting then adjourned to meet at the call ot the Chair. A GLABS W0SKS BTJBNED. ITamllton's Bottio Factory Cnmageil to the Extent or S3,000. The flint glass bottle" house of W. H. Hamilton & Co., at Twenty-first and Rail road streets, was damaged by fire to the extent of ?5,000 last night between 10 nnd 31 o'clock. The fire started in the end of the building next to Twenty-first street, and was caused by a leak in the gas supply pipe leading to the furnace. The watchman, John Ivcams.diseovered the blaze and sent in an alarm from box 343, and although two engine companies are located on Penn ave nue within easy reach, tho entire bnilding was enveloped in flames before they ar rived. The firemen did excellent work, which alone accounts for the fact that the entire building and surrounding property was not destroyed. The irame strne ture, 61x61 feet in dimensions, is so badly damaged that it will have to be torn down. The furnace, which, contains 'ten pots, is not damaged. The los on the building will be about ?3,000. The total loss will not exceed 55,000, and it is fully insured. Abont 80 men and boys were em ployed. The firm will rebuild at once. Tinrnert O-at, bnt Still Good. Information was received in the city last night by the Wheeling Natural G.is Com pany, owners of the old Cook well at Mc Donald's, that the well had commenced business again yesterday, going off at the rate of 2j barrels an hour. The well is the one that astonished people last summer by doing 10,000 barrels a day. It caught fire last August and after burning for some time was finally extinguished with great labor and expense. Recently work was commenced cleaning it out and pumping it, and yesterday it started flowing again. Fire Apparatus nt OakilaTr. Since the recent fire at Oakdale the citi zens have decided to secure some protection against future occurrences of a similar nature. It has been decided to tap a water pipe of the Southern Pipe Line Company nearby. It will give a pressure ot 200 pounds to the square inch. The water comes fipm Chartiers creek. McUaniel Is Badly Wnntecl. John McDanicls, whojs supposed to be a resident ef this city, is a badly ivantedman. If Mr. McDaniels happens to read this item and calls on J. C. Connors at the office-of the Superintendent of Police, he will hear of something of interest to both himself and his family. Secretary Blainf's Son-In-Law, Walter I. Damroich. "After having examined your Vocation Church Organ I must express to you my great surprise at this remarkable instru ment. "The voicing of this organ is noteworthy; each stop has its characteristic quality, the flute is really flute-like and the clarinet pre serves the peculiar wooden character of the original. Most remarkable is the close ap proach of sound to the pipe organ, not many of the latter being the equal in qual ity of tone to the Vccalion Church Organs. Last, but not least, the light, quick action and never varying accuracy of intonation deserve special mention. Yours truly, "WaltekL Damrosch." Mr. Damrosch is one of the highest musi cal authorities in America, and his testi mony must be accepted as final and con clusive. The Messrs. H. Kleber & Bro., COG Wood street, are the exclusive Western agents, and they sold not less than four of .ih'ese splendid, church organs during the past week, namely: One organ to Uniontown Baptist Churchjanother to the Scottdale Methodist Church; a third one to Duquesne Baptist Church, presented by Mr. Andrew Carnegie; and the last one to Elizabeth Presbyterian Church.

FACED BY HIS WIFE. She Stops a Love Affair Between Her Husband and a Brunette. MRS. JIIDDLETOX WANTS A DIVORCE The Lady Ears She nas Teen Deceived for the Fourth and Last Time. LITELT SCENE "IN A BOARDING HOUSE A dramatic scene occurred at the board ing house. Xo. 951 Penn avenue, last even ing, though the premature publication of the programme, partially spoiled the eflect. A little woman with dark hair, eyes of the same color, and a pretty face, but with a look of determination on it, alighted from the mail train at Union depot about 8 o'clock. She was met at the station gate by sev eral job printers, who had promised to be there, but bad never seen her. She. recog nized them without much trouble, and in a short time she was at 901. The lady was Mrs. W. G. Middleton, of Philadelphia, and she had come here at the request of the printers, who had paid her fare, to identity her hnsband. Middleton, it appears, is not as high-minded as Geof frey Middleton, Gentleman, in the play, arid according to reports was engaged to marry a brunette who livd in bis boarding house. The brunette in question was warned that Middleton was married,but she was inclined to doubt it, though she believes it now. Didn't Tt ant to Spnll the Programme. A little party had been arranged at the house for the reception of Mrs- Middleton, nnd where she was to meet her husband. Somebody leaked, however, and he became aware of the plans. He is one of the job printer who was imported last December from Philadelphia, and worked for Joseph Eichbaum. During the afternoon he told his fellow printers who had interested them selves in the case that he would not spoil the programme nnd would be present. Mrs. Middleton in a cool, collected man ner told the assembled guests who she was. and asked to see the brunette. The latter declined to make a public show of herself, and the lady gave her an audi ence in an adjoining room. Mrs. Middlef on produced her marriage certificate and furnished other proof. The brunette was very much crestfallen, but had nothing to say. Iu a short time Middleton came into the room, and took a stand before the mantel. He is a tall man, wore a Prince Albert coat and a plug hat adorned his head. Mrs. Middleton entered and tat down without saying a word. With a flourish Middleton announced to the guests that the lady wa hi wife. When she asked him why he had deceived her, he made no reply. Then the boarding house mistress turned on Middleton add ordered him from the place. He went, but returned several times and asked for his wife. She declined to see him, and he wa refused admittance. M10 Yl ill Ask for a Divorce. Mrs. Middleton said afterward that this is the fourth time her husband has played the same trick on her, and she -was deter mined now to apply for a divorce. The last time she brought the second woman to her home, and then Middleton frankly con fessed all a he did lat evening. The lady cave him a red-hot raking, but he didn't wince. She said he had given up -a good position in the Keystone Watch Works at Philadelphia at the request of her husband. "I am tired of being deceived," she continued, ''and will apply for a divorce. Middleton i not much of a man, and I am through with him." Superintendent Marthens, of Joseph Eicli- baum M uo., assert Jliaclleton yeterclay to disprove the report that he was married, or consider himself discharged. As he didn't do it, he is now without a job. Meeting of A. O. V. IT. Officer. The grand lodge officers of the Ancient Order ot United Workmen met in the order's rooms on Third avenue yesterday.
