see or talk to reporters and will obey their .instructions. "Have vou heard of Fitzsimnions' latest - act?" was asked Mrs. lverr. ' o; what has he been doing now?" "He has cut his throat and is dyin." The lady looked uj quirkly and said: 'Is hat true or only another wild story?" Upon beins assured of the truth of the story she was again asked to see Miss Snow den 'and tec if t-he would not make a state ment for publication. The lady retired and the sound of subdued voices issued from the rear room. In a few minutes she returned and said that Miss Snowden was sorry to hear the news, but declined to be seen or sav anything further. District Attorney Burleigh was inex pressively surprised when he heard that Fitzsimmons had attempted snicide. He threw up botb hands and looked positively horrified. "That surprises me," he said. "I did not think Fitz would treat us that way. If Fitzsimmons dies it will be a great disappointment to Murphy, who had hoped to bring him back here for trial, and I believe he was also hopctul of convicting his man. They intended to leave for home to-morrow, but unless Fitz dies soon the comics: will likely be delayed now for ten days or two weeks. Murphy will bring him'here dead or alive." Sir. Marshall Makes Some Keiclatlonn. Hon. Thomas M. Marshall, Sr., was found at his home last night, and he cave another chapter in Fred C Fitzsimmons checkered career, interspersed with some satirical remarks as to how his funeral ser viecs should be conducted. He tells the .following story "As I have said before, Fitzsimmons was possessed of monkey tmartnessand a jaunty air. He never allowed himself to become depreased no matter what turn affairs took in his life. In early bojhood lie trans gressed asaint his fathoi's teachings and Jelt home. His life until he attained his majontv was under the puardianship of his uncle. He then Derail to rove over the world, hut before starting he made a visit to his father and relieved him or apart ol the poods in his store Then he drifted South and finally got over to Europe, wnere he remained for several years, par tially masterine the French and Spanish lannuaces. Finallv, about eicht years aso, he came into littunrg and s-ecured a situ ation in Joseph Home & Co.'s store, under he name of A. G. Budd. He was there tor several yeais. After he left there he stole a senilis machine and robbed a drygoods store in JlcKeesport ot several hundred dol lars worth of poods. This was about the extent of n criminal career, which to my wind did not amount to much. A Very Gifted Prevaricator. "One great trouble with him was his effi ciency as a liai, and his distrust of everyone. oon after his arrest he sent for me. 1 went to see him, and he asked me to defend him. After 1 had talked with him a little while a noint came up which needed some proof. lie told me to go to a man who is high in business circles in this citv. 1 did, and the man cursed Fitzimmon- hotly, sayinp that he did not lniow him. This made me mad, and I went bicktoinv client in other than a pleasant mood. To picify me he told me he had l.now n my w ile well and that he had often waited on her while he was employed at Home' This satisfied me that he was tlie Wsict liar I ever defended, as mv wife had died jut three years before Fitzsimmons went into Home s. "1 visited Fitz in his cell and for a long time all his mail came to my office. JIv o:Hcc boy, pencralh known as my "partner! had as much freedom to his cellas myself. Fitz would often send him for truits of all fcimls. and the boy would take them in him--el . I do not know where the delicacies came from. Saws might have been hidden in one ot the many baskets of bananas w Moli w ere sent in. "For a time his maii did uot come throueh my hands. One day a great white envelope whs handed me by a mail carrier. It was addressed to Hon. , a well-known Fittsbnrg attorney, hut the number and street was the s.ame as mine. 1 recocnized the liandwntincraud nrocccded toonen the letter. 1 Saws Sent Throush the Mail. "In it, wrapped in tissue paner, were four iinesaws and several love letters These ame saw s were show n to me by Titz some day- later at the jail After talking the case oer with mj 'pattner we decided to elean our hnnds. 3Iy 'partner' went down town and purchased a "similar envelope and some more tissue paper. The letter was then fixed up and s-ent to the person for whom it wafc intended. One da , some time after thi, I went to see him and he showed me the aw sand a great, liii revolver that, had it been pointed at l"add ' Murphy, you could have played mai hies on his coat tail. At this meeting he Miourd me the bars at which he was at work on, and a'skd me whether it was the light thinp to do. I told him to go and more power to him. I knew of thisandnumerous olliei thing in connection with his case, but it was not my business. "Another thing that disgusted me with J'itz was the loose way in w inch he handled his money while in jail. His exchange of confidence with men like Holmes Anderon is an e idence that he was lacting in ability nsaprolesional crook. I think Anderson jl.ived him for a gi eat deal more than has joibeon piven out. Anotncr thing I am positive of is that Anderondid go to New Orleans but was too much of a coward to fcbow- himself."' Major L. A. Montooth said last night that In- was tired of hearing about Fitzsimmons. adding- "I don't know- that I can say any thing more than has been published about the case. There is one thing, however, to j-lion how quiet Fitzsimmons kept his inten tion of escaping. On the morning of tho night he escaped Mr. and Mr. Fitzsimmons, Mr. Marshall and myself weie holding a consultation. I was explaining a rioint when Mrs. Fitzsimmons interrupted" me. Fitz turned and said to her in a verv earnest manner, "don't interfere with the hiwjers: we want to getall the informa tion possible. They are handling tho case, and let them do the talking.' Notwith standing all his earnestness, he was formu lating his plans for escape, and the next thing I heaid was that he had gained his liberty. I am not familiar with his hand w nting, and if shown a letter to-day said to Tic from him, w ould be unable to identify it as his." A PAI OF FITZSIMHONS. Blamrd for a Bold Burglary at Homestead Wednesday Night The office or Gordon Bros., builders' sup plies and lumber merchants of Homestead, was broken into yesterday morning and the iron sate cracked, and $25 and some valuable papers that were in an iron box inside the safe were carried off. The safe was almost entirely wrecked, the burglars making hut a bungliug job of it, proving that they were far liom being skilled safe-cracksmen. In the first place they wrenched off the handle, leaving a small hole in which they used an explosive and with it forced open the first or outer door, there still remaining another double door, and this one they succeeded in opening by drilling a. hole into the lock and blowing it off. The cracksmen must have been sorely disappointed for theirarduous task, tolindonlyat the end of it the small sum of $23. Homestead has been always re markably free from burglaries and this event has aroused the inhabitants to a sense ot insecurity. Suspicion in this case rests upon the one time pal or tho now notorious Fitzsimmons, who goes-under the name of Williams. Ho figured extensively in the Fitzsimmons Homestead case, and his namewas exploited in the newspapers at the time or Fitzs' first capture. Williams was seen in Home stead yesterday and was accompanied by a suspicious looking character. The Home Mead police had himshadowed.bnt late in the evening he eluded them. Williams was a sewing machine agent in Homoetead during the time Fitzsimmons lived there and they were constantly together. Sisters Together In Death. Two maiden ladies, sisters, Larina and Margaret Jonc3, were buried from St. Luke's Episcopal Church, at Bridgeville, two w eeks ago, and their lives and death have oc casioned considerable comment in that neighborhood. Both were taken sick with the grip about the same time, am1 lay in two beds not lar apart. Margaret expired, ana J-avina. from her couch, observed an un usual appearauco among those in attend ance, and asked if Margaret were dead. On Iwlng told that she vns Lavina was greatly moved, and turning in bed expired in two or three minutes at tor hearing of her sister's death. It seemed as though the shock of parting with her companion after 70 years of sisterly intimacv snapped the vital cord..

THE FIATCRKS OF A LEXGTHI LIST The animated correspondence between Mayor Gqurley and Chief Assessor Case is at an end, for the present at least. Mr. Ca-e was asked last night if he intended to answer the Mayor's last communication. "No," he replied, "lamtoobusy just now to give my attention to anything but a re vision of the city assessments. I am at a great disadvantage in any kind of contro versy when my attention is so fully given up to my duties. "We are working hard on our revision of the various ward assess ments and you will find that a great ma jority of those who are now complaining will be satisfied when we get through. "We can't hope to please everybody, but we will be iair." The assessors had livelv interviews with a number of large manufacturers from the Southside who called for that purpose yes terday, and from remarks dropped by one of the gentlemen after the interview his firm will not be among the satisfied ones Mr. Case refers to. - The .East End to the Front.

Henry A. Davis is assessed about $13,000 on a plan of lots at Morningside, which he bought sixmonths ago for$l,200 from Charles Cornelius.

If the gentlemanly assessors, who value the place at $52,390 will bring a buyer at that figure it will be mado so interesting for them that they need not devote any time to that kind of labor for a twelvemonth at least."

Over S 10,000 Expended Last Month by the Department of Charities Surfacing Caused oy the Strikes Chief Elliot Will Have a' Surplus of 81,000, The month just past has been the heaviest ever known in the Department of Charities in Pittsburg. The poor cost the city dur ing that time over $10,000, or 75 per cent over what the corresponding month of last year cost The bad weather made a heavy demand for coal, and according to Chief Elliot coal is the thermometer by which suffering in the city is gauged. Speaking of it yes terday Chief Elliot said: "I have never known of a time in the history of tho city when there was so much suffering among the poor, and the poor are becoming more plentiful. This is mostly due to the strikes. The strike of the build ing trades has caused more misery than can be computed. Tho lost wages are neginning to tell. Men who woik bythe day can never eaten up, ana an tue montns ot lateness are being felt in the homes. Not only do t'ho carpenters and the other journeymen now feel the pressing need of money, but to the great number of common laboring men who were compelled to lie in idleness by reason of the stagnation in building business, tho loss has absolutely been irreparable. Niue tcnths of the extra appeals for aid have come from this class. Many are almost desti tute. The demand for shoes has been enor mous, and there is even a great demand for food." In spite of this heavy drain there Is going to be a surplus this year in the impropria tion for the Charities Department of about $4,000, which will be turned over to the citv. The appropriation was $90,000, and for this year the same amount was asked. Chief El liot explains this surplus by the fact that over $7,000 worth of produce was raised on the Poor Farm last year. INSIST OK THEIK BIGHTS. Residents of McKee'a Hocks Have Strong Views on Street Cars. McKee's Rocks people, though very anxious to have the West End Railway Com pany run electric cars to the budding bor ough are apparently not making much prog ress toward an agreement with the com pany. 'Squire Bryan says that the project does not appear to have grown any since last fall. The company has been talking of leaving the greater part of the residents in the cold by running its tracks on tho enst side of the creek and crossing it near Duffs station but the people regard this as a bluff, as they say there could be no business sense in running through that vast scope of terri tory where but two or three families live. The McKee's Rockers insist that the town ship authorities shall grant no rights irre vocable by the boiongli when it is formed, and say they ha e already been put to much trouble by tho refusal of the company to raise its present tracks to tho grade the peo ple have established since they were laid, as they cannot keep the main business street of the tow n in order on account of the de pression. They say a supervisor gavo tho company permission to como in without thinking of exacting terms and now it bids defiance. The peonle were so well pleased to get a horse car road that thoy'overlooked the possibilities of im provement in which the grant would Inter fere. They now insist that the company shall run double tracks as far as Laulngcr's and at least single tracks an far as. Bryan's on tho Mlddletown road: also, that but onu fare bo charged for the entlie distance be tween tho outer boundary of McKee's Rocks and tiio Diamond maiket instead of two as at present, and further still that there be no transferor passengers at Sawmill run. In addition to all this they insist that right of way shall not be given until tho company agrees to borougirsupervision. THE ALLEGHENY BRANCH OFFICE OF THE DISPATCH AT 107 FEDERAL ST.

Suggestion Meetings of Various Shades All Over the City, THE LOCAL CAMPAIGN X0W FAIELI ON The citizens of tho Twentieth ward met last night and indorsed George W. Bauru for Select Council, James G. Stewart for Common Council, and James P. Krebs for. Alderman. Dr. "SV. H. Daly and James. Blair were indorsed for School Directors, and William Sprague wa!( indorsed for Assessor. At a meeting of .the Republic ans on Saturday night last the same ticket, with the exception of School Directors, was indorsed. The meeting last night was heldin the Ellsworth avenue school building and was largely attended. It was called to order by Thomas Liggett, who announced its object. AV. A. Woodward, Esq., was elected chair man and David Reese secretary. In a short but forcible speech Mr. Liggett scored the municipal government. He condemned the management of the city's aflairs and said there were three subjects he had given consideration. A Demand for Tax Keronn. First, he said, was the abatement of the system of taxation; second, to remedy the entire system, and third, a radical change in the mode of our public works. They were paving a way, he said, for a taxation that wjll be very burdensome, and a reduc, tion will have to come and come from econ omy in the city eovernment. As to the management of affairs in City Hall, ho con tinued, some of the things there are simply awful. Some of the people there.he thought, ought to be punished. One man he knew he considers a blackguard. He then related a personal grievance he had against this man. The way to remedy these matters, he sug gested, was to elect the right kind of people to Councils. As to letting street contracts) he went on. they can only get two kinds of Savoments, asphaltam and block stone, and ooth & Flinn control both kinds. Another thing, he said, is that bondsmen for con tractors carfonly qualify to their bonds in City Hall. The bond must be in double the amount of the bid, and all a clerk has to do is to cut in two the amount of the bond and ho has the exact bid. 'Contractors from out side the city, he said, won't bid because they can't get any work. Some RatherVlgorous language. Some of the pavements laid were a dis grace to those who laid them.

A MYSTERIOUS STORY. A Chicago Society Woman Alleged to Bo Confined In a Pittsburg Cell The He suit of n Investigation A Couple Out on Bail. A dramatic society story has been current for several days, in which the wife of a prominent Chicago business man and a Pittsburg man of family, business and church standing are the leading characters. The story as told is that the Chicago lady, who is pictured as young, refined and beauti ful, resented her dashinghusband's devotion to pleasurable pursuits in which she was not included, dating from a few weeks after their marriage, and after vainly endeavor ing to persuade him to devote his attention exclusively to her left him. She had money of herown.nnd determined to makomore of it in grain speculation, hut her invest ments proved disastrous, and she was soon penniless. Sho then became a typewriter in the office of a wealthy speculator, a married man, and eventually became quite intimate with him. Later she returned to specula tion herself, and embezzled several hun dreds of horoinployer's money. Sho became frightened when unable to return the money and left tho city, coming to Pittsburg, where she formed the acquaint ance of the business mani-eferred to above, who provided for her entertainment for a time at u leading hotel and .subsequently took her to famished rooms in Allegheny. Her Chicago employer was not disposed under the clrcnmstances to pursue her, but his wife knowing of the relations that had existed between her husband and his typewriter, as well as the reason of her leaving, determined to revengo herself by running the woman down. As the story goes she arrived a few days ago, enteied a suit for embezzlement and the frail typewriter was arrested and placed in one of the city prisons. Which one was not mentioned, but her admirer was said to be a daily visitor to her. An effort was mado to verify the story. At tho jail, tho only place where a piisonor under snch circumstances could properly bo kept for sev6ral days, a man and woman who answered the descrip tion of those in the storv had been released early in tho evoning. They had been com mitted the previous day by Magistrate Gripp on a chargo oj Improper intimacy. She gave her name at the jail as Mrs. Mc Farland, but on the commitment it ap-' Searea as Mrs. uraiik iveo er, anas aicAree. is name on the committment was R. II. McFoeley. They claimed, however, to be man and wife, and sho told the matron she had a babe 4 months old. She cried almost continually while In the Jail. They were taken out for a hearing Inst night, but tho case was continued until this evening, the couple securing bail for their appearance and departing together. Warden McAleese was positive that no other peison answer ing the description had been in the Jail for two weeks. A SUCCESSFUL SESSION.

DECLINES TO RETURN. The Many-Named Medical Man Pre fers the Workhouse to a WAKM' RECEPTION AT MASSILLON. He Is4 A'ot Txtraditaule and the Officer Cannot Take tlim. WILL BECOAKGED AS ATAGKAXTTO-DAT There is a cell at the workhouse waiting for Dr. Thomas F. Allison, of Providence, B. L, alias Dr. Charles P. Marshall, alias Dr. Stevens, of St Louis. At present the doctor is Central station. He was arrested Tuesday at the Seventh Avenue Hotel as a suspicious character. The doctor wanted a partner with capital to travel with medi cines. .Tames lv. Beckley answered his ad vertisement, but the doctor appeared so anxious to get the money that he became suspicious and reported the matter to the police, resulting in the arrest as stated. The many-named medical man was held until his case could be further investigated. He failed to give a clear account of him self. Last evening Detective Norton, of MassilloD, O., came to Pittsburg to take the doctor back with him. He had warrants against the prisoner for obtaining money under false pretenses, cheating and defraud ing board bills, etc. The captive physician arrived in Massillon about the middle of December, and settled himself at the Hotel Conrad under the name of Dr. C. P. Marshall, announcing himself as a specialist, with an assistant named O'Neill. For a month he remained there, delivering several lectures and making a great splurge. On the 18th of January the doctor disap peared, leaving his hotel bills nnd other debts unpaid. All his baggage he carried away in Ills pockets. He also left his assist ant behind, mourning the loss of salary and $73, which he had deposited with tho doctor as a guarantee for the faithful performance of his duties. O'Neill joined the doctor at St. Louis. When Detective Norton visited the doctor in his cell last night and told him what he wanted the latter became indignant. I"I am a jihysician and a gentleman, sir," said he. "I have patients and friends at Xassillnn and will not go back to be dis graced before them. 1 prefer to stay here even If I have to go to tho workhouse." The doctor is not extraditable on the war rants mentioned and cannot be taken out of the state except he agree to go, and as he has declined there is an end to the claims of the Massillon people and Dotective Norton will loturn empty handed. Bnt forallthls Dr. -Allison Marshall Stevens will not get off easily. When Assistant Superintendent o.' Police O'Man learned of his refusal to go to Massillon he said he would see that the man would be sent to the workhouse this morning for vagrancy. Having . neither home nor visible means of support this chaige can be brought against nlm andhe can be laid away for six months at Clarcmont. The doctor is a tall .stoutly built man. rather fine looking. Ho is about 60 years of age. An Attempt to Ite-Open JIalkan Street. At a meeting of-Allegheny Public Works Committee last night a committee was ap pointed to look after the re-opening of Bal kan street, in the First ward.

Holmes Co. is an excellent illustration of the fame and popularity acquired by our Mononga hcla Valley pure rye whiskies. In prepar ing the Holmes' Best for shipments of this kind every case is carefully packed by an ingenious'packer patented by Mr. Holmes some vcars since and used exclusively by this house. ijince using this packer, in the past five years, not a sin gle bottle has been broken. Another E recaution in long distance shipments used y this firm only, is securely fastening each corner of the box by steel clamps and affix ing iron handles to each end of the case, thereby making the same easy to handle and .thus greatly helping to assure Rale de livery ot same at destination. Holmes' Best 'is too valuable a whisky to take any chances on for breakage, therefore ajl these precautions arc taken and the value of these precautionary measures aro shown daily in the large shipments of "Holmes' Best" all over the country, from Maine to California.
