A CALL FOR MONEY To Help Entertain the Visiting Soldier Dele gates Mayor Gourley Slakes a Pnblic Announcement The X-ast Opportunity to Do Honor to the T ar Veterans. Mayor Gourley, who was made treasurer or the fund lor entertaining visiting dele gates to the Department Encampment of Hie G. A. It., is anxious to secure as many contributions as possible. Feeling that it is probably the last opportunity the people or Pittsburg will have to honor in such a wav the fast th'nning ranks of the country's defenders. His Honor has issued a call lor contributions as lollows: To the Citizens of Tittoburg: "The representatives of 50.0CO soldiers of the late war will meet in this city on tho Sltti and 23th of this month as a Department Lncaiiipment or the Grand Army or the Be iwblic. The posts of this county have provided lor the entertainment and expense incident to ths meeting. Tin- will be about all the local members of the order can assume without trenching upon the funds held for relief pui poses. "It i deemed fitting that the citizens of Pitt-burg, whose patriotic work during the llebelhon ouud expression in feeding and ntert.iiuing the soldiers passing through our d', would embrace, this, peihaps the last opportunity of honoring the -veterans by providing, in the same old hall, a banquet in recognition of their sen-ices and the mem ones clustering around old City IIhII and the fctirring times through whicli they passed. "A circular has beon forwarded to a nam bei ot oui business men, some of whom have Already responded liberally, but to make tho occasion a success befitting the importance ol onr citv more funds will be required.

The'cfEcials of the B. & O. road, after care fully inspecting tne Pittsburg and Western, think that the P., C. & T., or tho line from Xcw Castle to Akron, is not in shape for last trains. As toon as the ground thaw s out a lorce of men will bo puttowoikto loilast the roid. and it is thoucht that by June 1 the line will be ready. The Akron branch to Chicatro Junction is as solid as a rock, and the officials aro very ruuch pleased with this end or the line. "It is the deter mination not to put on the fsst trains until the roid is in fiist-class condition. Third Vice President .Lord says he wants the Chi cago tro.ns to make the schedule time from the first da. Mr. Lord would rather wait a year than have the road receive a black eyo It om the start by ditching somo or tho trains. The Tittsburg and Western will certainly lie a grtat line after the B. & O. people get through with the improvements. In Search of Endolf Kafer.

II DEATH .Sought by a Prominent Alle gheny Contractor, Who Sent a Pistol BALL THKOUGH HIS HEAD. A Family Quarrel Followed by a Threat of Arrest Was the IMMEDIATE CAUSE OF THE DEED. The Shot results Fatally, the End Beins Almost Instantaneous. A SENSATION CAUSED BI THE SUIC1DB J. C. Ackerman, one of Allegheny's best known contractors, feared the terrors of the great unknown le:s than he did the igno miny of being arrested. In proof of this be shot himself at his home at 240 Kiver avenue, at 9:15 o'clock last night. The ball entered the right temple, and he died be lore be could release bis grasp on the re volver. Coroner McDowell was notified at once and his clerk, Grant Miller, made a partial investigation. As far as could be learned last night Ackerman had been drinking to some extent, though he bears the reputation of being a sober man. He was one cf the prominent citizens of the Eighth ward and was a well known figure in local politics He was a contracting teamster. .Result of a Threat of Arrest. According to the story told to the officer he had had a slight quarrel with bis wife and yesterday evening the quarrel was re new ed over some trivial domestic matters. The discussion became so warm that at 9 o'clock his spouse left the house, vowing she would have him arrested. She had no soone left the house than Mr. Ackerman went into his bedroom. In the meantime the wi,fe was hunting for an ofheer, and while she was re turning the report of a revolver was heard. The children hastened to their father's room the eldest is only 14 years of age and there they found him lying on the bedi The little ones were terror-stricken and speechless, and were thus standing there when the motherand Officer John Deeble ap peared. Ackerman lay on the bed dead, with the blood running from a bullet hole in his right temple and the smoking re volver still in his hand. For a moment they simply stood t d watched the dead father surrounded by bis children. Death Was Practically Instantaneous. In vain hope thev called on Dr. John Kirker, but there was no use for a physi cian. The doctor said he bad died almost as soon as the shot was fired. Mrs. Ackernian's grief was something terrible to witness. The poor woman be came hysterical at the tragic ending of the family quarrel' and her screams could be heard a square away. The neighbors rushed in, but it was long before they succeeded in quieting her. She is rather a good-looking woman and is nearly 40 years old. " Her husband is about the same age. They have three children. Mr. Ackerman was known all over the city and owns considerable property in the Eighth ward. The probable secret of the suicide was ledrned from an intimate friend of the fam ily. He said the couple had got along quite well together, but that Ackerman be came despondent very easily and was especially fearful of imprisonment. "Some time ago," the gentleman said, "Ackerman was arrested for some trivial offense and it was weeks before he recov ered from the disgrace and hated even to hear people mention the subject He tolcl, me that if he was everthreatened with arrest again he would shoot himself rather thau submit to the disgrace. He had been drink ing, and this with the idea that his nrivftt tronhles would be made nnhlin property, caused him to quit his work and j nie ueiore mc omcer couio. rcacn tne house." The news of the suicide caused a decided sensation, and quite a crowd collected in the neighborhood of the house. A CLOSE CORPORATION. Annual Meeting of the Cut Stone Contract ors and Qaarrjmen'ft Association of the County A Sprightly Banquet at the Xtuquesne Last Evening. The annual meeting of the Cut Stone Con tractors and Quarrymen's Association, of Allegheny county, was held attheDuquesne yesterday. The name of the organization is misleading. It is composed of county cut stone contractors and qunrrymen who ship cut stone into the county. There are SO members, about half living in the county. w hile tne others come from various parts of the country. The object is to make a close corporation out of the business. Most of the contractors here belong to the association, and they won't Duy stono from a quarryman anywhere unless he is a member." The organization naB certain rules and regu lations, and both seller and buyer aie expected to live tip to them. The" con tractors state that the quarrymen are satis fled, and since the association was formed, a year ago, there has been little trouble about prices. Another object is to weed dead beats out of the business. A con tractor who won't pay his debts is discarded, and the quarrymen in the association re fuse to ell hiin stone. It Is a mighty hard thing for people not in the association to buy and sell stono in the county. At the meeting it was decided to increase the number of trustees from three to Ave. The now officers are- President, S. R. Lind sjy: Vice Piesident, C. O. Malone, Cleveland; Secretary, C. T Buente, Pittsburg: Treas-u:-r, John Clark; Trustees, A. Stehle, D. Mornon and E. tA. Knox, Allegheny, and W. C. Stew ait and William Roir, Cleveland. Secretary Buente stated last evening tnnt nothing butroutine business was transacted. Several amendments to the constitution were passed. About 65 members were present. The banquet tff tho association at the Duquosne in the evening was a great suc cess. Covers were laid lor 123 people. Tho dining room was neatly decorated with tropical plants, and the tables were orna mented with flowers. A very neat and pretty menu curd was prepared. On the outside wai the picture of a stono building half completed. A number ,or workmen were busy in the foreground cutting the materials. After the banquet the toastmas ter, Mr. Reese Ltudsoy, got in his w ork. The speeches wero good and stirred up consider able applause. Mayor Gourley intended to speak on "Our City," but ho was absent. S. U. Trent took his place, and made a pleasing speech. The other toasts were, "The Stone Must Be Strictly Uniform iro Color," W. S. Frnser: "Liberal Estimates," E. A. Knox; "Why AVo Aio Here." G. A. McArthur: "Tho Press and the Trades," J. B. Johnston; "The Agent," S. E Gill; "The Building Trade," H. R. Batnes: "Breakers," J. J.

The annual meeting of stockholders and election of officers of the Central Traction Company was held at the "Westinghouse building yesterday afternoon. Only a few stockholders were present outside of the old Board of Directors and the voting was mostly done by proxy. Tho old board, con sisting of George I. Whitney, T. A. Gilles pie, Calvin Wells, E. M. Byers, C. H. McKee, T. B. Attoibury and J. K. McGinloy, were, re elected without opposition, 17,000 shares be ing voted. The board organized by ro-eloct-ing Georso I. Whitnov, President; T. A.

It will be used as a reeder to tho cable road. Motorcars will hanl light built passenger cars to and fioin the intersection of Wylio avenne and Fulton street, whero tho cars will be transfeuedby luo ora Y switch. It is intended to extend the electrlo wires down Wjlie aenue to oonnect with the wires of the Duqueene load, which uses tho Central's tracks down town, and will allow tho use of its wireB in return. Then ir any accident should cause a stoppage of the cable road the Center uvenue eleotrio cars will be run down over the cable tracks until tho bie-ik is repaired, and the hill residents will suffer no Inconvenience. The electrio machinery will be plaoed- in the Wylie avenue power house. Vice President Gil lespie was asked lust night when the muoh-talked-of all-night cars would be put on the ioaa. "i can't say pomiveiy," was ms repiy, "but after we get our electric line in opera tion we will run night cars if our patrons demand it." Tho kioss revenues of 1891 over 1S90 were increased a little more than 22 per cent. Three million passengers were carried and only one fatality occurred. The emplojes of the load have'no grievances, according to President Whitney, and the lelations te twecn the company and employes are ami cable.

The Central Board ot Education Is Op posed to Present 3Iode of .Examining A Committee Appointed to Change It Several Reports Handed In. An entire change in the methods now ii vegue for the examination and promotion of Pittsburg public school pupils is more than a possibility. The Central Board of Edu cation held its regular meeting last night.' It was the last meeting of the old board, and the new board was organized for the coming year. After the reception of the reports of committees the board adjourned sine die. Dr. Kearns then Btepped for ward, and in an earnest speech presented to Dr. W. H. McKelvey, the president of the board, a gold-mounted ebony gavel as a token from the members of their high ap preciation or his services as president lor tho past nine years. Mr. Treush and ex Shenff McCandiess also spoke of the eminent services of Dr. McICelvey. Dr. McKehey was re-elected chairman, Charles Reisfar secretary and Mark W. Lewis assistant sec letary. The following important measure was brought before the board for action by Dr. Keai ns: "A very serious evil exists in al most the w hole range of our common and higher schools, that is the so-called memo riter metuod of instruction, which seems to be a necessity so long as the rank In scholar ship continues to be determined by per cent of a pupil's correct answers in examinations. This abuse of -memory ratijjues tho brain and lowers the powers of the mind. Lessons are memorized and not acquired bv efforts ofthe understanding, hence thev are not well retained and furnish a poor basis for wide intellectu.il culture. Xot only this but the enioticnal conditions and the start ling phenomenarof hypnotism are in many cases superinduced by this cramming method." Dr. Kearns rollowed this by introducing a resolution providinir for the appointment of a committee to be composed ofthe Presi dent and Secretary of tho Central Board, three members, the City Superintendent and principals of the Hich and Xoim.il schools, to take Into consideration the present system of examinations ana leport ns to the advisability of changing the system. Tho i csolntion was unanimously adopted and Chairman McKelvey appointed as the thtee members on the committee Dr. Kearns, Dr. A. E. McCandless and David Torrence. Tho leport of City Superintendent Luckey for the month ot January showed an enroll ment of 27,551 pupils, with an average at tendance of 23,277.

PRIMARIES RULED OUI The -Action Taken by the Chartiers Valley Kepublican Club. OUTSIDERS ENTER A PEOTEST. Nominating and Suggestion Meetings Held Throughout the City. PLINN AGAINST FLLN'X IN THE SIXTH City politicians and ward workers are going to move to Chartiers township to learn the fine- shades in the art of politics. It is claimed that the Chartiers Valley Re publican Club has taken a jump over every precedent and dccidud there shall not be any primaries held in Chartiers township. It is a part of the old Craltcm fight. Nearly every citizen in the township is a candidate and the club which dominates the politics for the valley took the view that as there would be no one left to vote when the can didates were counted out, primaries would be a useless extravagance. County Recorder Von Bonnhorst and Percy F.. Smith are the leaders in the club. Monday nighty a meetine of the club was held, and after a long and stormy tight the primaries died a painless death. Oat of the list of candidates the club indorsed a few of the aspirants for office who are members of the club and those outside were not in cluded in the charmed circle. The ticket named by the club is as follows: Super visors, A. C. Eeineman, Jacob Drake; School Directors, George E. Pearson (three years), J. E. Jones (three years), J. A. Evans (two ears), Robert Reno (two j ears), Robert Allen (one year), C. A. Stevenson (one year); Justices of the Peace, Newton Petrie, D. H. Feirell; Tax Collector. Rome B. Cool: As sessor, George Petrie; Auditors, H.Y. Dough erty, W. S. Slack. When this list was first presented there was a great deal of dlsouosion. Many of the members thought it was not fair to the. out side people, but a few heavy pieces of ora tory partially brought them over and then tho list passed together with a resolution indorsing only the men on this ticket and saying that no other candidates shall be recognized. When the peoplo outside heard of this nction,they rioted as It were and have de cided to hold primaries on Saturday when a new ticket will be ohosen. One ofthe mem bers of the club ticket said yesterday that an attempt would probably be made to stop the primaries, although there are a consid erable number of members or the club who favor the idea of having primaries. HARRISON- NOT B16 ENOUGH. This Is the Opinion of Ex-Congressman Frank Ho Is for the Field Against tho PresidentMr. 2fledrlnghaus Denies That Black Plate Is Scarce In America. Ex-Congresimen Niedringhaus and Frank, of St Louis, passed through the city last evening, bound for Washington. They will appear before the Kiver and Harbor Committee in behalf of certain improve ments in the Mississippi river for St, Louis. Mr. lYrankis the bright Hebrew Republican who knocked out O'Neil in the memorable Democratic Waterloo three years ago. The "Joker of the House," however, couldn't be held down, and in the last election he sent his opponent skyward. This is why Mr. Frank now wears the title of ex. Mr. Frank has one redeeming-trait. Ho is very much opposed to the tenomlnationof Presiden Harrison. "I am for the field against Harrison," he said last evening. "If ho is nominated of course I will support him, but I still think that Blainn will be the man. He doesn't say In his letter that he will refuse tho nomina tion ir it is offered to him. I consider Har rison a very small potato. He has ability, but ho meddled too much in politic. If Ho had devoted his time to the ceneral admin istration of atfalis instead of interfering so much in the dlstribntion of patronage, about which ho knew nothing, the President would be more popular with his party than he is to-day. ir Blaine won't run, there are plenty of other Republicans in the country .who, would make good Presidents besides Ben' Ilainson." Mr. 2f iedringhans was more guarded in his talk than Mr. Frank, but it was npnaient .that he coincided with the views of his ex colleague. He said he had no objection to Mr. Harrison, bnt there was no lack of good men in the party to run for President. Blaine was his man, but he is not cast down because the Secretary declines to run. Mr. Niedringhaus is one of the leading tin plate manufactureis in the country. He said the business was developing finely. His firm is rolling 21 tons of metal per day, but they are not coating that much. In " a few weeks, he said, they would be able to tin all the black sheets they rolled. Mr. Nledringhaus denied that black sheets are scarce in the United States. He said this was the main part of the business, as the tinning process is very sinmle. Ho makes all the black plate be needs and ho adds that It is only u question of a short time until black plate will be plentiful in America. His company is now offering the drawings of its uoiks to help other tin plate concerns. He thinks if the other manulac turers will do their duty, that the tin plate pioduction of the country will meet the re quirements or tho McKinley tariff law. FLINN FIGHTING FLINN.

Business was slack at the City Assessor's office yesterday. Less than 50 belated ap peals were filed during the day. Assessor Hoerr was the only one ofthe Board on hand and he was kept bifsy. Word was re ceived from Assessor Larkifi that his con dition was slightly improved, but As sessor Case was no better than tho previous day. Among tho ap peals filed yesterday was one from George Wilson, in the Nineteenth ward, assessed $12,000 on 50x115 feet on Penn ave nue, near St. Clair street; appeals for a $5,000 valuation on the ground that even this is beyond tho rate of recent saie. John 11. McKelvy asks a reduction from $56,900 to $42, G56, on lyi acres at Kegley avenue and 3i" Cnlly street; on 7f acres adjoining he asks a cnt irom $15,000 to $37,(00. D. B. Murcock apneals from the Twensy second ward. He is assessed at $C9,350, on land as follows: 1.40 acre". Squirrel Hill, near Forbes street, $7,000; $13,150 on 8 63 acres on WIghtman street: $31,200 on 5 70acres on Bry son street: $12,000 on 2 acres on Homewood avenue.' His appeal makes 10.3 acres on Wightman street. $8 021: 2 acres on Home wood avenue, $2 000- 5.63 acres on Belmont street, $i, 444, or $12,463 for all. He puts a cow in the appeal -valued AX 25 cents, and a horse at 50 cents, but this is probably an error. Emma V.Adams is assessed" at $143,351 on 9 aeies on Forbes, near Wightman strnets. Her valuation she says is liberal at $38,230, as the ground is so lough and broken that there is hardly a level spot ou it large enongh to build a house on. G. G. O'Brien protests against an assess ment of $13,875 on li acres on Forbes, near Edgertou avnue, winch he says is practi cally a hole in the ground that it would cost $10,000 to brine up to the grade of the street. He says $16,337 would be a liberal taxable valuation. In the Twelfth ward James B. Hill is as sessed $14,250 on 72x130 feet at Penn avenue and Twenty-sixth, and $10,610 on 5x130 feet adjoining. He apneals for a cut to $12,000 on the former and $9,300 on the latter. The Bhtler Street M. E. Church, Seven teenth ward, Is assessed nt $5,700 on 21x150 foot lot on Butler street adjoining tho church property, which the trustees value at only $1,000. John D. McKee, in tho Eighteenth ward, is assessed $39 000 on 13 acies adjoining Stanton avenue, which ho values at only $19,500. Ellen J. Black asks a cut from $1,600 to $1,100 on 20x110 foot lot on Carnegie ktrect, becanko that ie the highest offer over re ceived and because she, being a widow with minor children, cannot sell tho property until they aro'of age. Fred Kohler places a value of $3,200 on four ISxlCO foot lots on Butler street, which tho assessors bad valued at f 4,600. AFTER AN ASSESSOR. Why tho Property Owners of Stowe Town ship Object to tho Present Valuations An cbo of One of the Poor Farm Offers. John Caughey, a Stowc townBbip assessor, appeared to have a rocky road to travel in the County Commissioners' office yesterday. Daniel Herley and 'Squire Miles Bryan charged that the assessor had assessed him self $700 an acre while for land not any more valuable he had assessed them 52,500 an acre. They offer him $7,500 for a piece of land he has assessed at $2,300. The township was more largely represented than any other since appealing began. The taxpayers do not particularly object to their rating, but to the alleged inequality thereof, and some ot the affidavits made on the subject make racy reading. In North Versailles the assessors' books showed an inciease or 19 per cent, to which the Commissioners added 90 per ceut. In Spring Garden borough the assessors' in ciease was 16 1-10 per cent, and the Commis sioners added bO percent. Reserve town ship was increased by the assessors 10 per cent and another 10 per cent was added. In Neville township a nnirorm valuation or$i00 per acre was placed by the Commissioners on the land irrespective of what figures tho assessors had given. From this township there were two appeals of but slight mo ment. To-day appeals Mill be heard from Marshall, Springdale, Sewickley and Union townsnips. The Commissioners yesterday made Rome interesting statements in reply to the acMon taken by residents of Plum township in censuring them for adding 10 per cent to the assessors' letuins froni that township, and denouncing the Commissioners' action as outrageous and unjust. Tho Commissioners, as a sample of thoir course in the township, referred to the Lee farm. Itwas'theone playing a part in the poor farm matter. The city thought It had an option on tho farm at the price of $500 per acre, but the owners withdiew their ofler, and refused to sell tho farm at that price. The assessors have ro turnod the farm at a valuation of $S0 peg -acre, an increase of $10 per acie over the former assessment. To the assessors' figures the Commissioners have added 10 per cent.

That splendid church organ of a capacity of 950 pipes, which has of late attracted ad miring multitudes to H. Klcber & Bro.'s music store, has already been sold. There were several parties a'ftei it from the city and AVellsville and other points, but the lucky man who secured the prize is Key. Father Toner, of Chartiers Catholic Church. The price of it is $1,400, and it is the opinion of our foremost organises that no organ of any other make and costing double the money could compare with it. The great variety of its stops, from the . faintest whisper to the thunder tones of its com bined power, is something truly marvelous. It is from the factory of Mason & Risch, "Worcester, Mass., and ot the variety known as the Grand Vocalion Church Organ. One prominent minister declared that it was the' greatest musical wonder of the age. Another great feature is the astounding durability of these organs, surpassing in that respect all instruments, of whatever coit, used by many churches. The 3Iessrs. Kleber, COS "Wood street, have placed a large order for them, and they certainly deserve the thanks of all Christian communities for placing within their reach such a glorious instru ment and at so reasonable a price.

A crowd of probably 1,000 people awaited the arrival of the train at the depot. Company C, Eighteenth Regiment, Capt ain W. H. Davis, was there as au escort. General "Wiley, ofthe Second Brigade, with his staff", was also there, and other military officers and privates were there to do honor to the late Adjutant General.

Immediately following the hears; the Governor and his Cabinet rode iu carriages, while his staff clerks in the department at Harrisbnrg, and other friends and admirers of General McClelland from abroad and from home followed in pro cession. The quiet that comes with midnight had fallen on the streets. The muffled drums and the slow, measured tread,o' the soldiers made dolefnlmusic while they marched to the undertaking establishment. The funeral of General McClelland, which will occur at 2 o'clock this afternoon, will be imposing, and will be one of the largest evor seen In Pittsburg. Tho body will bo taken from Samson's undertaking rooms at 11 o'clock this morning to the Third Presby terian Church. Tho body ti ill not be removed from the Third Chuich after the services as was previously atranged, but will Ho in state at tho church until 2 o'clock, tho hour set for removal to tho Allegheny Cemetery.

Tate, to his bedside at the city hospital, and dictated flfuil Instructions as to his funeral and estate; He added the following: "I want to say here and now howrrateful lam for the continued and pronounced friendship shown towaidraeatall times by Governor Robert E. Pattison. He has beon more than a friend to me. At no time since my associa tion with him ha vo I, in my heart, and I hone I have not in any public action, swerved tho slightest in true regard for him, as well as carnot loyalty in all that he has done. This I say now to corroct sonic seeming apprehensions in this regard. He has been mv friend and I am his friend." General AlcClelland then took the paper, read the lines carefully, and after doing so added tho following, including his signa ture: "I have nothing in my heart against any one, and dismiss nil thoughts against ethers or whatever nature.

MISS FAY IS ANGRY Because the Police Will Not Allow" Her to Give Splrltusllstlo Exhibits Chief Drown Says It Is Not a Proper Enter tainment for the Po.pIe. Chief Brown will not allow any more of Miss Annie Eva Fay's spiritualistic exhibi tions. "The whole affair is a fraud," s3id he, "and should not- have been permitted last night. It surprises me that so many people could be fooled this way. "We can not allow it any mote." In accordance with these views the Chief ordered that if another exhibit should be attempted the principal should be arrested. For Monday night's entertainment no license had been secured. The manager, however, appeared at the Department of Public Safety offices yesteiday and paid the license fee. Ho also" wanted to take out a license for last night, but was refused. Miss Fay is angry. When seen last night she said: "1 knew nothing of this matter until this morning, when my manngernoti flee me that the police'would not allow an other exhibit, because it was improper tor a Pittsbursr audience to look at. I sent word to Chior Brown'for moro explicit leasous for his action, but could get no satisfaction. I offere'l to give the entertainment free, with tho same success. Nothing would do but I must cancel mv dates, payback the money to persons who had bought seats for to-night and prepare to leave the city. Learning that the Auditorium was not a licensed place, I offered to go to a regular theater, but wjs refused in this also. I should like to know what there is.improper or wrong about my exhibit. I come on the stage medes.ly attired and do and say nothing to offend tho most fastidious. Chief Brown objects to calling .up the spirit of Fitzsimmons. Now, 1 scarcelr know who Fitzsimmons was, and had no intention of even mentioning his name. "It puzzles mo to know where one man gets tho power to say 'thi3 shall he and this shall not.' I know there is some prejudice against Spiritualism, but surely it is not a crime to advocate It. I am not endangerinz the peace or shocking the modesty or the citv. nor am I attempting to rob anybody." Miss Fay will make no attempt to hold further entertainments in this city, and will probably leave shortly. 3Iayon the Hunt tor December.
