THE BOYCOTT ENDS IX 1 GRAND F1ZZGE Henri Pasqnille, a Mexican merchant who lives near the border, passed through the city yesterday bound lor Xevt York. So many coufiictinc reports have been written about the revolutionist, Garza, and the number of men in his band, that any accurate information on the subject -n ill be appreciated by the public It 1'as been said that he is a defaulter, a broken-down sewing machine agent and ihat Diaz had no fear for him, but Mr. Paquille says the revolution is becoming serious. lie is alraid it will result in inter national troubles, or the overthrow of the present Mexican Government. "If Garza was a sewing machine agent," he said, "he must have been a clever one, and plied his trade well to gather followers and stir up the people. I know that anum ber of Indians aud disaflected Mexicans have left their homes to join his bxnd, and along the border it is variously estimated that he has a force ranging from 4,000 to 5,000 men. If this is true, it will be a difficult matter to hunt hira down. The bet troops in Diaz's army are the raralee soldier. They are nearly all bindits who have been picKcd up in various parrs of the country, and nobody has auy assurance that they will not desert nhen the set into their old haunts. The cattle men alone the border would be glad tohaethe trouble settled is soon as pos sible. Garza's outlaws are stealing their oxen for lood. The rascals are well sup plied with, ammunition, and in the mount ain fastnesses they are sate from attack." Vhilip Eoedcr, of Cleveland, the Mexican a;ent for the United States Glass Company, will start Jor Mexico in a few days. He has great fuiih in the ability of Diaz to crush any trouble in the country. He says the accounts ol the rcolution have been exaggerated. Diaz is a candidate for re election, and the Constitution has been modified to make it legal. He has the confidence of the best people in the country, and during his administra tion much has been done to promote law and order and encourage the inest ment of Joieigu capital. Mr. Boeder says Garza is a fraud, and is not. in a position to lulfill any of the wild promises he rnav make to his followers. It is ridiculous to regard him as a deliverer, and his poor de luded supporters ull discover it -when the ruralese soldiers get on their trail. D2XIVSKY SYSIEM EXTENDED The American Express Company Will Una Out Jo 3atleritr--t. . jThc American Express Company has is sued orders to deliver and gather packages out as far as Tifty-first and Cutler streets, in the Laivroncevil'- district. The order went into effect ..last Monday, and will be appreciated by the people living in that thickly settled scctio-. The express boun dary lines for fre delivery had been to Dinwiddle street along Fifth avenue, and Thirty-third street on T?cnn avenue. Be yond thee points packages were transferred to the local express companies, and an extra charge was made. Mr. "Vaillant, the agent for the American Express Com pany, said yesterday that the boundary line had not been extended on the Fif'h avenue side. From Dinwiddie street to the East End there are not many stores and most ot the houses are homes for families. In Lawrenceville considerable business is done, and the express company decided to extend its delivery service. The change will force the other companies to fall into line. There is no reason why the Mine privilege .should not be grarrted to the people living along Fifth avenue, and it will come in course of time. HO C0TTSTEBF2IT HACHITC2. How a Number of People TVero 'Pooled O er Gennire Dollar Bills. Harry Ulam, the Central Hotel clerk, has had lots of fun this week foolisng his friends with an alleged counterfeit nu.chine. It is very simple, consisting of two jerfor ated cylinders arranged like a set of rolls and turned with a crank. Mr. Ulam has three crisn f 1 bills thathe puts in one cylin der, and then by running a pices of blank paper through the machine a biil is forced out, and the blank takes its place. He gravely announces to his friends that he got the apparatus from a "West Virginia coun terfeiter, and it is arranged to make 5450. . The trick is a clever one and will deceive the aver-ine man. More than one person felt the bills, and declared they were per fect imitations of a dollar. To make tho de ception more complete Mr. Ulam would throw the money into a waste basket, and warn his friends not to sav anything about it. One man, however, caught on to the "hcme, and going into the barroom with, one of the bills set up the drinks at thet jlerks expense. OH Men After Big Gushers. "Oil wells that were considered a fortune a few years ago are sneered at now," said A. H. Logan yesterday. "The operators to-day are looking for big gushers and noth ing else. If a man had a 300-barrel well three years ago, he was satisfied, and thought he had a good thing. Xow such wells 3re priced by as not of much conse quence. The production around Pittsburg continues to be lery large. The wells are not great, but nhen the output of all is added up, it makes a respectable showing and represents considerable wealth." First Train VI ill Knn To-Morrow. J. E. Terry, general agent of the "Wheel ing and Lake Erie road at Steubenville, was at the Union depot yesterdav "oin East. He says the final arrangements for the running of passenger trains from "Wheel ing to Steubenville, Cleveland and Toledo had been made, and the first train would start Monday morning. If the Wheeling and Lake Erie would now strike out for Pittsburg the little line would take its place in the front rank with other railroads. The officials hope to see the road enter Pittsburg Eome dav. All on Tickets to Be Pnt on Sale. After a boycott on the Chicago and Alton for nearly a year, because the latter road persisted in paying commissions, the big trunk lines have thrown up the sponge, and the sale of Alton tickets will be .re sumed once more. General Passenger Agent E. A. Ford, for the Pennsylvania Company, has issued a circular, revoking the one of April 13, 1891, and notifying conductors and gatemen, ticket agents and baggagemen that beginning February 1, the sale of tickets and cneckicg of" baggage over the f --'-.- ' .,.-.'.-. . -a. i J-t-. -' -..--&5iE!fe&-.

Chicago and Alton road will be resumi Twice has the Chicago and Alton knocked out the combination against it, and this should convince the other lines that the boy cott is not popular with the people. The Alton officials are crowing over the victory, and everybody is h&ppy, especially the agents who get the commissions. MU$T OBEY THE LAW. Suit TTlll Bo Entered Against Ministers and Physicians 'Who Fail to BlnVo Proper Ketnrns of Marriages, Births, Etc., to the Bureau or Health. The Board of Health is determined to have all laws pertaining to that department rigidly enforced hereafter. For some time past a great many of the various persons who are supposed tomake reports to that department have, through carelessness, failed to send in the reports regularly. The recent action of the Philadelphia Board of Health, taken against about 400 preachers of that city, will be repeated in this city in the future. A creat many of the preachers in the city fail to make reports of the mar riages they perform, and the Board of Health is determined that they will com ply with the law or suit will be brought. The board has been easy on the doctors, midw ives and preachers, and the condition of affairs has grown worse every day. The records cannot be properly kept unless these reports are sent in at the proper time. The penaltv for failing to report marriages is ?20 for each case. The board will open war at once on the clergy, and as fast as the careless preachers are found out they will be sued. Superintendent Baker, in speaking of the trouble the board experiences, said: "We have had more or less trouble over the various returns the past several months. "We did not wish to be too strict about it, as we supposed everyone knew how binding the law is, and our position in the matter. There are a great many cases in the city where either a physician, midwife or preacher has failed repeatedly to make returns to us. There is no excuse for it. We have broucht suit against some, who have been fined, but we have heretofore withdrawn the suit when it is the first offense. The law must be obeyed and we will have it so hereafter. I don't know how soon we will bring some of the preachers to time, but it will be soon if this nraetice continues, which it will, no doubt, until some of them are sued. A great many think it is a very small thing, but it is larger than they think." Another thing which will be looked after by the board, is the practice of midwifery by women who are not professionals in the work. The poorer class of people are willing to allow these women to do the work, as they charge as low as 50 cents. They are ignorant of making returns. Harry Armstrons Promoted. Harry E. Armstrong, clerc of the Court of Common Pleas Xo. 2, yesterday severed his-connection with county matters and to morrow will enter the service of the United States as cashier in the Internal Revenue Office. Mr. Armstrong's humorous notes and comments on men, measures and things have become a feature in that court that will be sadiy missed by attorneys and suitors while whiling awav time awaiting their turn at the legal wheel of fortune. Expenses larger Than Receipts. Superintendent S. It. Barr has issued a statement of the receipts and expenses of the Baltimore and Ohio relief department for the month of October. The total ex penses were 544,G35 06, receipts, 533,302 60. Increase in Passenger Business. "Travel both east and west is simply im mense for this time of the year," remarked one of the emploves of the Pennsylvania Lines to the reporter on Saturday afternoon, as he was making his usual calls at the dif ferent railroad offices. "The increase for the last two weeks of January, compared with last two w eeks of same month for 1891, should certainly have a tendencv to put the management, as well as the stockholders, in a verv pleasant mood." The theatrical travel via these lines still continues to be very heavy, as shown by the list of attractions in aud out of Pittsburg given below. On February 2 and February 9 a special Pullman vestibule buffet sleep ing car, in charge of competent attendants, will leave Pittsburg via the Pennsylvania Lines and run through to San Francisco, Cal., via Chicaco, Omaha and Ogden, with out chang?. The car leaving February 2 is ,due to arrive in San Francisco February 6, at 11:45 A. M., and the ons leaving on the 9th is due to arrive February 13, at 11:45 A. 31. As applications for space in these cars are coming in daily everything bids fair that the cars will be well filled.

Another Big Extension of the Weather ' Bureau's Service. ' FORECASTS GIVEN TO FARMERS By Means of a Combination of Long and Short Whistles. JIORGAXZA MADE A SPECIAL STATION The farmers of this and Washington counties are now getting weather intelli gence by steam whistle. People love to crack their jokes over the head of "Old Probabilities," but the Signal Service system will continne to exist and prosper as long as it is he'd in its present esteem by boards of trade, naviga tors, produce dealers and some wide-awake agriculturists whose number grows apace. Many of the classes named buy and sell on weather-forecast information, ship goods or make extra arrangements for their care, or sow grain or cut hay, for, though the Gov ernment bureau does not profess to goose-bone-weather wisdom in spells of a month, or even a week, its 24 or 36-hour predictions have been shown by experience to be very valuable to the interests named. Accord ingly every addition to its facilities is of general interest, even to those who still half regard meteorology'as a sort of black art. Forecasts issued now are for 2S and 30 hours instead of 24, as heretofore. The one given out at 8 A. M. holds until 2 r. M. the succeeding day, and the one issued at 8 P. M. holds until midnight of the next day. Just here Pittsburg people have good cause for self reproach in not making themselves more prominent in the mercantile world. Necessity for a Forecast Official. Instead of standing on the census tables of 1890 in her proper place at 400,000 she is down with a population of 238,000. With the largest tonnage of any city in the United States and with single interests that pav more freight than the produce of sev eral States combined, this city is not fur nished with a special local forecaster while Detroit is. In this respect Pittsburg has been entirely ignored. There is no place in the United States where snch an officer's services are more needed. The Chamber of Commerce and Grain Exchange have felt this way and are now makiug efforts to have such an office located here. The reason as signed by the Government is that only 20 such officers are allowed and all those places have been filled, but this Congress will be asked to provide such an officer for Pittsburg. The main reasons assigned for not grant ing the request is that the location is of no special interest in the study of climatology is not a weather breeder and the powers that be have not taken into account its commercial importance. These people do not know, or have not gravely considered the fact that one day's shipment of coal from this port has been large enough to require 210 miles of cars and 30 miles of locomotives to move the same weight. Xews of coming weather is certainly of grave import on such occasions, and they happen numerously dur ing a year. The Government makes a special appropriation to supply these fore casts to the people who raise cotton, and there are tingle firms in Pittsburgthat pay more freight in outgoing and incoming product than is paid to move the entire cotton crop. Two more river stations were established last week at Philipi and Fair mont, W. Va., but Pittsburg is not con sidred worth a special local forecaster. A Poor Place for Observations. A snsgestion made by Sergeant Stewart, of the Pittsburg office, seven years ago ha? not vet been acted upon, and it is one of importance. The temperature is taken here from the top of1 a building surrounded by 100 square miles of houses in which fires are burning, in a district where hundreds of factories, furnaces, etc., are sending up cubic miles of hpt air every hour, and the consequence is that there is a difference of 5 to 20 between the official record and the actual temperature in the surrounding country 10 miles distant from the Govern ment station. Mr. Stewart at the time mentionedargucd the importance of hav ing the record' kept in a number of places in the open country, but the United States is a large body and moves slowly. The department in this city is doing good work in various ways. It at present issues 100 weather maps daily. They are placed in the Grain Exchange buildings, postoffices and in various institutions, such as the Coal Exchange, etc., and furnished to the public schools. They are eminently useful in the latter places, as they stimulate a study of meteorology among pupils who would otherwise never learn anything practical about it. The final result in this direction is one that cannot be 'at present even esti mated. "Weather Kecords Taken as Testimony. Another service rendered is the furnish ing of data for the adjudication of law suits in cases of damage either to river craft or goods hauled by rail. Common carriers are only held responsible for ordinary care in the'earriage of goods, and a record of tem perature, rainfall, etc, is of importance in order to fix the extent of liability in special cases. During the agricultural season the department's weekly weather bulletins are closely studied by "grain and produce dealers as well as the daily maps. These bulletins are only issued monthly in the winter. A late extension of the service is of in terest to farmers and will probably become popular. An arrangement has been made at Morganza with Superintendent Jerome Quay .by which, if farmers keep the wax out of th'eir ears, those within a radius of ten miles may learn at 11 o'clock A. M., what the weather is likely to be for the next 33 hours. Mr. Quay has arranged that the whistles are sounded according to the ar rangement given below and each granger can have a copy of the interpretation posted in a convenient place and consult it while listening to the blast; Blasts. ' Indicate.

The lore cast is sent to Morganza by telephone. Similar stations may be made at Claremont, the Poor Farm and at Dixmont, so that the whole county will be supplied with the in formation at once. The weather maps are made up of ob servations taken on the 75th degree meridian line in the United States and Canada. The observations taken on that line consist of readings of the barometer,' thermometer, direction and velocity of wind, state of sky (whether cloudless or otherwise), and amount of rain or snowfall. Lines called isobars, are drawn-through or near stations where barometer readings are the same, a separate one for each tenth of an inch in the height of the barometer. Dotted lines isotherms connecting places of the same temperature are drawn for each 10 degrees reacting of the thermometer. The direction of the wind at each station is indicated by arrows pointing in the direction the winds are blowing. The general movement of storms in the United States is from west to east They are likened to rounded atmos pheric waves with crests marked "high,' and oval troughs or depressions are marked "low." The alternating highs and lows, several hundred miles apart, have an aver I age easterlv moveni-nt of liuo miles a day. Hich winds and rainf if cold ettnnh. sun usually precede the low area olteu extend ing to a distance of 000 miles. In advance of the low center winds are gen erally southerly, and consequently bring high temperature. When the center of the low passes to the east of a place the wind shifts at once to the north, causing lower temperature and clearing skies, and in win ter cold waves. How the Chances Are Noticed Temperature on a given parallel west of the low .may be looked for on the same parallel to the east when the Low has passed and frost will follow along or north ot an isotherm of about 40 if the night is clear and there is. little wind. Following the low isan area of high.bringing sunshine, which in turn is followed by another low. Centers of low do not move across iso therms, but follow their general direction. When isotherms run nearly east and west no decided change in. temp'erature occurs. If isotherms directly west of u place incline iroin northwest to southeast it will grow warmer, it from northeast to southwest colder. Southerly winds prevail west of a nearly north and south line cutting the middle of high and east of a like line cut ting the middle of a low. Northerly winds occur west of a nearly north and south line passing through middle of a low and also east of a similar one through the middle ,of a high. Absence of decided waves of high or troughs of low pressure indicates continuance? of existing weatner. Though talk of the weather is usually a sort of skirmishing around before a general action of tongues when friends and acquaint ances meet, and seems usually ridiculous, as for instance: "Is this hot enough for you?" or vice versa, yet meteorology is really an interesting science and one whose elements are not hard to master. GIBBONS WILL BE HERE. The Cardinal Has Accepted the Columbus Club's Invitation He and Archbishop Itjan Ti'lll Speak at the Banquet All the Arrangements Aro Completed. The Columbus Club, which is composed of the' principal Catholic laymen of the two cities and suburbs, has completed most elaborato preparations for their annual banquet to take place at the Monongahela House next Wednesday evening. It will be held in celebration of the quadri-cen-tennial anniversary of the discovery of America. For that reason the club has arranged for commemorating the event on a scale of greater magnitude thah is usual with annual festivals. Invitations have been extended to and accepted by such eminent prelates as Cardinal Gib bons, Archbishop Kyan, of Philadel phia, and Bishop Keane, of Wheeling. Bishops O'Hara, of Scranton; Mullen, of Erie, and McGovern, of Harrisburg.have consented to attend, and, of course, Bishop Phflan. The chiet address of the evening, on the life and character of Christopher Columbus and the wonderful results of his discovery of this great continent, will be delivered bv Hon. William J. Onahan, City Controller of Chicago. MayotGour ley will be an honored guest of the club. A'. V. D. Watterson, Esq., will make the address of welcome. The various com mittees are as follows: Reception committee A. V. D. Watter son, Jerimiah Dunlevy, Jr., William Loef fler, James A. McNalfy, John Kelly, J. B. McCabe, James Phelan, L.

From the complete nature of the arrange mentsf the distinguished character of the guests-and the-known ability of the gentleVH men composing the several committees, it is safe to assume thaf the celebration will' be a red letter day in the history of the Columbus Club. HE HAD B0 IDEA -OF TIME. McGonsh Couldn't Tell How Lone He Had Seen in America. There was a considerable number of peo ple made citizens yesterday in order that they might vote for reform Councilmen and otherwise, possibly otherwise as a rule, but one man was hopelessly stuck on the center. This gentleman's name was Mc Gough, and he suffered on account of his having conceived an idea that the matter of becoming a Columbian was a mere matter of form. In answer to Judge Magee, Mr. McGough stated that he had been in the country four or five years. His Honor said this was too indefinite, and he refused to al low Mr. McGough's character witness to set him straieht, and ordered the principal to proceed. Mr. McGough wasn't niegard ly in the matter of time, and so he told the Judge that he (McGough) had been in the country six or seven years it four or five were not enough. This was still held to be void for uncertainty. The applicant was next asked regarding his age, and he said he didn't know when he was born, but knew he was 38 years old, and related his memory of occurrences ,to prove his statement. This might have passed scrntiny, but the Judge finally put the applicant off on, longer probation," stat ing that he could not entertain the applica tion of a man who could not tell to a cer tainty whether he had been four or five or six or seven years in the United States. Annnal Sleeting of Hallway Agents. The seventh annual meeting of the Eail way Agents' Association was held to-day in the G. A. K. Hall, on Fourth avenue, Pitts burg. A large number of agents from Western. Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio were in attendance. An unusual amount of enthusiasm was displayed at the meeting. The officers elected for the ensuing year are: Charles Javens, Beaver, President;' James Aiken, Allegheny, Vice President; K. W. Bellman, McKeesport, Second Vice Presi dent, and M. N. W. Geary. Parker, Pa., Secretary and Treasurer. The grand con vention will be held in Jacksonville, Fla., March 16, and the following delegates were elected to attend: B, H. Bellman, E. M. Scott, M.N. W.Geary, Charles Javens, P. C. Ecoff and James Aiken. The next semi annual meeting will be held in September.- Were TJinble to Find Their Belatlves. Kittie and Nellie Bilxer, aged-19 and 22 years, applied at the Central station yesterday for shelter. The girls, who are sisters, stated that they live in Cleveland, O., and that on Thursday last they arrived in this city to visit a relative named Thomas Jones, who was supppsed to live on the Southside. The girls were unable to find Mr. Jones, and as their monef gave out they were without shelter or foo'd. The girls were cared for at the station and will be sent back to Cleveland.

Stern Realities Prove Too Much for Vows of Eternal Love. MORE MARITAL JARS REPAIRED. Weekly Allowances Take Precedence Even Over a Husband. HTMEN AGAIN GETS THE WORST OP IT The entire faculty were present yesterday in desertion court. District Attorney Burleigh was on hand with, Judge Kennedy and Mr. Goehring, and there was a full assortment of splints, bandages and lini ments, but patients were scarce. Herminna Kreiger, a good-looking mid dle-aged woman, was oh hand again to see if Frederick could not be given a larger dose than the one prescribed on the 23d inst Judge Kennedy still adhered to his former opinion that as Mrs. Kreiger got 17 a week from Kreiger's children by his first matri monial partnership and ?7 more a week from a rent, that she ought to be able to keep the wolf from the door, even if her sick spouse were on the free list, and the most that she could get was a division of the costs. Kreiger looked on disconsolately and seemed to take but little interest in the case, not enough to pay half of the costs. If he isn't quite sick he at least has a last-rose-of-snmmer look and appeared as limp as the last run of shad. Maud Teese, supported by her infantry, appeared to substantiate Kichard's story that peace had been restored, and Kichard's case was again continued for a week, in order to give him a chance to raise the costs. Geonre Foster Forgot to Die. Jane Foster still neglected to appear against her husband, George Foster, whom she had charged with desertion, and George again explained that Jane was leary about coming to the fore on account of having contracted an alliance with another man by making him believe that George slept with his fathers in consequence of an accident. George says Jane's second husband left her when he lound that No. 1 was still in the flesh. When the case of Thomas Parcells was called his attorney explained that a settle ment had been effected and the matter of costs was all left. Lillie Frederick, thouch arraved in good garments, hasn't been like the lilies of the field, for she has exerted herself strenu ously of late to bring her husband, H. E. Frederick, to book. He, as stated previ ously, is a salesman in a clothing store. The court had decided that he must pay Lillie 56 a week out of his 516 salary and pay it monthly in advance. vTonldn't Hvo With Her Husband. Mr. Osborne, her attorney, insisted that Mr. Frederick's continuance in well doing could not be assured without bond. Yester day Mr. Frederick announced his intention ot living with Lillie, but her attorney said this wasn't sufficient Judge Kennedy opined that it must be, as a man could not be compelled to support his wife separately as long as he was willing to behave himself properly "and live with her, but Sir. Osborne still persisted that Mr. Frederick couldn't be trusted, and the finality was that the Court reduced both the bail and the allow ance, the former to $300 aud the latter to ?5 a week. They made a fine looking pair, but it seems that the ashes on the domestic hearth are cold and the fire can't be re lighted. Do Ton Eat? Why shouldn't the spirit of mortal be proud IT THEY, EAT?.
