Irn'iUess Tisits to the Yftrious Italian
and Knsaiau Colonics.
QTISVM ADYAXCED BT CHIEF BEOWS
If he eight Hebrew or Italian immi
grates who came over on the t yphufc-stricken
5Iassalin and were forwarded to Pittsburg
as rpjinrted by a New York telegram Satur
day Sight are at present in I'lttsburg, tholr
irsenfls pre taking pood cans their presence
stall hPt be known. A Dispatch re-)fl-ie-
yesterday endsnvorod to find them,
but without the slightest Indication of suc
ce(r. Chief Brown will tako tho matter in
band to-day nnd through the police and
licaltii inspectors will locate tho new ar
rivals if they are in the city.
Reporters visited several physicians who
practice largely among the Italian)! and
Hebrews of the city. They were all posi
tive that no such persons had located In the
colonics with which they were lamiliar.
Dr. Nardjz, the Italian physician, thought
St Bioro than probable that if the men came
this wcy they were located atone of the
numerous camps within a radius of 50 miles
of the city. '
Tiie Nationality Not Definitely Known.
The search for them would probably be
more successful if it were known whether
tho men headed for Pittsburg were Hebrews
or Italians. The information concerning
thorn does not cover this point. The only
immigrants who came in over the Pennsyl
vania Railroad yesterday were two Germans
and two families of English people. They
spent the day in the immigrant quarters on
2vew Grant street One family, that of
David Harris, remained in the city over
night.
Mrs. Harris had made the trip before, and
wa returning to her former home at 3Iay
nard, O. She said that on the way over
Fickness had been general among the Ital
ians, who formed the bulk of the steerage
passengers, and on arrival at Quarantine at
Xcv York the health officials had taken off
; few passengers and refused all the Rus
pians and Italians on board privilege to
land. The lessel she came over on was the
Wisconsin, which landed at New York
Saturday morning. She did not believe
that typhus was the disease crhicb prevailed
among the emiexants, though she heard
much talk about it at New York.
Apparently No Itccent Arrivals.
The crowded Italian houses on Liberty
street, opposite Union station, were visited
yesterday afternoon, but the proprietors of
each declared that they had received no
new arrivals. Frank Sevena, proprietor of
No. 353 Liberty street, thought that none
i the Italian Masalia passengers had
reached this neighborhood unless they had
located somewhere outside the city. The
Diamond street and Seventh ward colonies
of Italians were canvassed carefully, but
the residents declared ignorance of new
nrrivals, or else affected not to understand
English and refused to give any informa
tion. At the Bureau of Health no typhus cases
were reported yesterday. Chief Brown,
" when asked last night it any steps were to
be taken toward locating the Massalia pas
sengers supposed to be located here, replied
that he had already issued orders to the
Bureau of Health inspectors to find the
men if possible. Similar orders will be
issued to the colice force to-day.
Will Be Found ir In the City.
"I rather suspect these men are Italians,"
Faid the chief, "and in that case it will be
hard to locate them. There are several
colonies of Italians in the East End as well
as in the lower part of the city, and it will
require careful watching to find them. If
they were bound for any point within CO
miles of this city on leaving New York,
they would say thev were coming to Pitts
burg. If they are Hebrews it will be easier "
to find them here.because wherever they go
they locate near the business part of a city.
In any case we will find them if thev are
within the city limits. Our physicians will
then examine them, and if they have any
traces of typhus we will have them placed
in the municipal hospital or pesthouse
until it is considered safe to release them."
L L Hirsch, the steamship agent, says
the passengers of the Massalia were all
Italians "There were no Russian Hebrews
among them," he said. "because the Russian
refugees do not come by the Marseilles line,
to which the Massalia belongs. AVe have
not heard of any new Russian arrivals, and
I think if anv had come we would have
known something about it"
A EIG JOB FOE SOMEBODY.
A Brooklyn street Railway Company Will
Fpend 56,000,000 in Improvements.
Daniel R Lewis, President of the Brook
lyn street railway company, registered at
the Mouongahela House last evening. He
was accompanied by E. "W. Bliss, a manu
facturer. Mr Lewis is a very wealthy
man and the chief owner of the Brooklyn
ytreet railway system. He says he controls
200 miles of road, the largest unconsolidated
bystem in the United States. The company
has been figuring for the last three years oil
putting in electricity as the motive power,
and he has come here to examine the West
inghouse motors. Mr. Lewis states that
they will expend 51.500,000 for engines,
generators, motors and other supplies of
this kind. The complete improvements
which the company contemplate will cost
56,000,000. Mr Lewis is inspecting all the
electric systems on this trip, and will de
cide which one to adopt From here he
will go to Cleveland to look into the claims
of the Short electric motor.
Branching off to politics he said he was
a Cleveland man, though a great admirer of
Senator Hi!L He thought, however, that
Cleveland is the safest man and will get the
vote of the people. Mr. Lewis at one time
was a member of the New York Legisla
ture. Peppering a Patrol Box.
J. G. Burch, of No. 6 Hill street, was
arrested by Officer Rohan yesterday after
noon and locked up in the Fourteenth ward
station on a charee of disorderly conduct
It is alleged by the officer that Burch was
in a drunken condition and was shooting at
the patrol box at Fifth avenue and Soho
street The keyhole in the door was the
target and before the officer arrived he had
put three holes through the box. Luckily
none of the balls struck any person passing.
A Denial From Captain Jacobs.
Captain Adam Jacobs states that the
charge of assault for which he is- under tin
dictment at Morgantown is entirely false.
He will fight the case to tho end, and ex

NEARLY FROZEN TO DEATH.
TERRIBLE SUFFERINGS OF A LITTLE
0-XEAK-OI.D WAIF.
Both Her Feet and Hands Are Frown
She Is Now Suffering From Pneumonia
and Is Not Likely to Kecover Her Tale
of Cruelty.
A 9-year-old child named Emma Abbey
was found under a porch nearly dead in
Spring Garden borough yesterday morning.
It was about 8 o'clock when the daughter of
Burgess Mutsig, of the borough? while
seated at a window, was startled by a pitiful
moan coming apparently from under the
house. She spoke to her mother of it, but
while they listened for a repetition all was
still. A few minutes later the daugh
ter again heard it and notified
her mother and the two began an investiga
tion, thinking it was only a dog or a cat
that had crowded under the porch. The
little daughter got down on her knees and
peered in the lattice work beneath the
porch, when Bhe was horrified to find a little
child curled up there and apparently
asleep.
Mrs. Mutsig and her daughter tore away
the porch steps and w ith some difficulty got
the child out and into the house. She re
mained unconscious for an hour and a phy
sician was sent for. On examination it was
found her feet had been frozen, her hands
partly so and besides she had
contracted pneumonia from exposure.
"When she was finally revived she said her
name was Emma Abbey, and that she had
made her home with an oil driller named
John Dean, who lived some distance ui the
run beyond the borough She also said she
had run away from him on last "Wednesday
and since that time has wandered about
without food until Friday, when she
crawled under the porch and had gone to
sleep at once and did not waken until she
found herself in Mrs. Mutsig's care.
Burgess Mutsig at once sent word of it to
Secretary Dorente, of the Anti-Cruelty
Society, who had her removed to the Alle
gheny General Hospital. Her condition
is really alarming and but little hope is
entertained of her life being saved. She
has pneumonia in its worst form and be
sides is nearly starved, having partaken of
no nourishment lor probably three days.
In any event the child's feet will have to
be amputated because of their frozen con
dition. "What makes the case even sadder is that
but little is at present known of the child
or her parents. The whole village was agog
over tne matter, and the news finally
reached the ears of Mr. Dean himself.
Secretary Dorente hunted the latter up,
and was surprised to recognize in him a
man that had appealed to him
several times for a child whom he desired
to adopt. Mrs. Dean, his wife, had also
made a similar request at the society's of
fice, and she, too, was recognized at their
house. It appears that "Mickey" Dean,
the former agent of the society, had also
been asked by the couple to get them a lit
tle girl, and about a year and a half ago he
got the child found yesterday and took her
to them. But he failed to make a record
of the matter at the office of the society and
the necessary information as to the child's
parents, friends or home was therefore not
known to the society.
Some two months ago a complaint was
made to the Secretary of the alleged cruelty
practiced by Mr. Dean on his adopted
daughter, but after an investigation show
ing there was no just ground for the charge
the matter was dropped. But even then it
was not known the child had been given to
Dean by one of the society's agents. It was
shown, however, that the girl was bad, told
lies and was generally incorrigible and fre
quently ran away. When found yesterday
sne stubbornly refused to tell why she ran
away, and Secretary Dorente intends to
prosecute Mr. Dean for his apparent
neglect of her, and hopes to unravel all the
mystery connected with the child's actions
in the past two years, as w ell as to find who
her parents are.
A BOSTON IDEA OF BUSINESS.
Banks Fall of Money, bat People are Afraid
to Invest.
L. F. Humphrey, a Boston wool buyer, is
at the Monongahela House. He says the
price of wool has declined about 2 cents
since last fall, and the market is very weak
at present During the January sales about
3,000,000 pounds of Australian wool were
purchasedand is now being shipped to this
country. Some importations are made in
spite of the tariff, but the depression is not
due to this cause. Mr. Humphrey said
the trouble commenced with the fail
ure of the Baring Bros. The people
now lack confidence. The banks in
Pittsburg, New York and Boston are
overflowing with money, but nobody wants
it Business men lack confidence, and are
afraid to invest A cashier of a bank in a
small town not far from this city told Mr.
Humphrey the other day that they had
100,000 tying in a local institution, on
some of which thev received 2W per cent
interest and nothing on the balance. This
iE only a sample to show how plentiful
money is.
"Buyers," continued Mr. Humphreys,
"are running their business on a hand to
mouth basis, and, of course, the manu
facturers of goods must do the same. My
firm now fills orders as they come in in
stead of making goods eight months ahead
as they used to. The same thing is true in
every branch of trade. The constant tariff
tinkering does no good, but the Democrats
will not let up. If confidence could once
more be restored, business would be good.
The farmers had bountiful harvests, and
they have some money. A revival must
come sooner or later."
THE VICTIM WAS LOCKED UP.
A Clever Method of Finding the Leader in
a Polish Sow.
There was a Polish wedding in progress at
the foot of South Eleventh street yesterday,
but just who the contracting parties were
would be a rather difficult matter to find
out During the course of the proceed
ings, which included beer drinking, eta,
there was a row, in which a man named
Andrew Rosinsky was pommeled over the
head with a beer glass and was pretty badly
used up.
Mr. Rosinsky, after being ejected from
the house, called on the police to arrest his
assailant, but it was not done, for the rea
son that the doors of the house were locked,
and all the pounding the officers could do
on them failed to secure a response. Rosin
sky was locked up as a drunk and he will
be made enter an information against the
man who assaulted him, and whose name he
knows.

MICHIGAN FOR ALGER,
Now That Secretary Blaine Is Out of
the Way, Notwithstanding
THE ALLEGED ARMY DISMISSAL.
Soldier Comrades Strongly penj the Insin
uations of Cowardice.
WESTERN DEMOCRATS FOR CLEYELAXD
Ex-Congressman E. P. Allen, of Ypsil
anti, Mich., registered at the Monongahela
House yeBtcrday. He was one of the Re
publicans turned down in 1800 during the
noise stirred up by the Democratic wail
against the tariff Mr. Allen stumped Ohio
for McKinley last fall, and did some great
work for the" Major. He is in Pittsburg,
he says, on private business. "While com
ing through Ohio he stopped at Columbus
to see the Governor. He found McKinley
in good health.
After giving the Law and Order Society
a rap or two for its bigotry, and remarking
that the newspacer was one of the great
agents of civilization, the conversation
drifted to Dana's attack on Alger's mili
tary record. The ex-Congressman said:
"I can't see what Mr. Dana expects to
make by his attacks on the General. He
was one of Michigan's brave men during
the war, and at this late day no man can ac
cuse him of cowardice. Those who served
with Alger know that he did not shirk
duty, and ne w as not afraid of fire. Raking
up old charges now will not affect his mili
tary standing with the soldiers, and it will
certainly make him more popular than ever
with the Michigan people. "
In the 11 cat of the Campaign.
"As I understand it Alger was-not dis
missed, but his dismissal was recommended
by General Sheridan. It was ignored, for
the General was honorably discharged. I
can readily see how Sheridan in the heat
of the Shenandoah Valley campaign aud
laboring under misapprehensions could
have made such a recommendation. He
must have forgotten it soon afterward, for
he never thought of it again, and it is well
known that he and General Alger were the
wannest friends.
"It is true that Custer and Alger had
some differences, but I don't think they
were enemies. Custer was another Michi
gan man who made a reputation for bravery,
and nobody hasanythingto .say against him.
I haven't seen General Alger for some time
and not having been in the State for two
weeks, I don't know what the people think
about it, bnt I feel sure that such attacks
will not hurt Alger in the least. On the
contrary it will stir up the wrath of the old
soldiers who know him."
"Will the Michigan delegation support
Alger for President?" was asked.
For Alger Alter Blaine.
"I don't know," Mr. Allen replied; "bnt
I suppose so. We were all for Blaine in
Michigan, but 'he has declined to run. If
we rally around Alger, it won t mean that
we are against President Harrison. It is a
little too early to make predictions about
candidates, but the West will dictate the
nominations in both parties. A great deal,
I will admit, depends on the action of
Pennsylvania and New York. These two
States'will pretty nearly fix the nomination
for the Republicans.
"I think the outlook for a Republican
victory never looked better, no matter who
is nominated. The American people
are noted lor tneir common sense,
and they know a good thing when they see
it, though it may take them some time to
discover it Harrison has made an able
President, and he has stamped himself on
every act of the administration. He has
been President in fact, and has not been
dominated by his Cabinet When he came
into office he had, like Lincoln, the whole
field of positions to refill. He has had an
unusually large number of judicial appoint
ments to'make, and there is not an instance
where he has not selected a good man. The
chances are the President will be renom
inated, and McKinley will likely be the
man in 189G.
v
Western Democrats Still for Grover.
"As for the Democrats, the West is for
Cleveland. They have no reason to change.
They put him up as their idol eight years
ago. Cleveland holds the same views on
the tariff and silver questions now that he
did then. The only man in the party who
would be a good substitute is Carlisle. He
advocates the same ideas on the national
issues. I hope for the good, of the Repub
lican party that Hill will be nominated.
He couldn't carry Indiana, and he will dis
cover that Tammany Hall doesn't have
much influence outside of New York City.
The Democrats at large are afraid of men
like Hill and Gorman. They distrust Hill's
methods and the allies he would gather
around him."
Mr. Allen said that unless the Michigan
law was declared unconstitutional the
Republicans would lose 5 electoral votes in
his State. He says the Democratic majority
in Congress doesn't represent the sentiment
of the people. In his district in 1890 the
vote was over B,000 less than it had been in
1888, and on making an examination he
found that fully 80 per cent of them were
Republicans who had stayed at home on
election day.
HOT IN THE 8IXTEEHTH.
Councilman O'Donnell's Friends Confident
He Will Bo a Victor.
Politicians in the Sixteenth ward were
busy yesterday. The Council fight in that
ward attracts more attention than any other
in the city. Both sides continue sanguine.
The Sixteenth is probably the closest ward
in local political fights in the citv, and
for years no Councilmanic candidate
has received a majority exceeding 40 votes.
Mr. O'Dounell, the present Common Coun
cilman upon whom the City Hall politicians
are making snch a bitter fight, has been a
reformer at all times since his election three
years ago. An attempt has been made to
handicap him in his present fight by the
claim of his opponents that his position has
prevented him from securing any improve
ments for his ward. Mr. O'Donnell's
friends declare he will win easily on Tues
day. The situation in the other wards was
about the same yesterday as on Saturday,
except in the Seventh. There have been
four candidates for Common Conncil, but
yesterday Michael Price withdrew. The
remaining candidates are John Gitinan,
Casper Left" and Michael Hioes, Left" being
a Republican and the other two Democrats.
A New Candidate at'tlie Finish.
William M. Nicholson, Ihe well-known
Baltimore and Ohio engineer, was an

director in the Twenty-third ward There
has been quite a stir in Twenty-third ward
politics within the last two or three days,

EXTENSIVE IMPROVEMENTS.
Over S500.000 Being Expended bv the Car
bon Iron Company New-Electrical Pro
cesses to Be Used A Capacity of 5,000
Tons of Plate n Month.
The Carbon Iron Company.atThirty-second
and Smallman streets, is just commencing
to make some extensive improvements in
its works which will cause the outlay of
?500,000. General Manager H. W. Lash
last night explained the nature of the im
provements as follows:
"The money will be spent in the way of
additions to the open hearth mill and put
ting in a large boiler plate plant. Hereto
fore. we have been hampered in the manu
facture of steel, as we had to send it to
Cleveland to be rolled. The contract for
the entire work has been placed with the
Pittsburg Iron and Steel Engineering Com
pany. The greater part of the machinery
will" be manufactured in Pittsbuig. All
the contracts for the electrical apparatus
have not been placed. The work will be
completed by August 1.
"The new plant will have a capacity of
5,000 tons of finished plate per month. The
filate will be in the form of boiler, ship and
ight armor plates, such 'as is now used in
the construction of cruisers. We are adopt
ing the naw plan of using electricity for the
handling of much of our machinery. The
shear department will be equipped with an
immense hydraulic crane, which is some
thing entirely new in its line. From the
fact that we intend to do so much with elec
tricity, we will have the most modern plant
in existence.
"We are now furnishing 60 per cent of
all the armor plate used in shipbuilding at
the present time. We have the contracts
for one battle ship and two cruisers, one
of the cruisers being the famous Number
Thirteen. After we are fully equipped, we
expect to get the Government contracts in
even larger slices than at present."
FEBMAKENTLY 8TABTED.
The Pittsburg Socialists Organize and
Get
Down to Work.
Yesterday afternoon the English speak
ing Socialists of Pittsburg were
permanently organized. They start off
with about 25 members. They elected a
secretary and treasurer, as those are the
only officers who are permanent The presi
dent is appointed at each meeting. This is
done so all the members can fill the chair
and thus be drilled in parliamentary law.
In this way the members will all be ready
to become leaders when the time of action
comes.
Some years ago two German branches
were organized in Pittsburg and Allegheny,
and since last Sunday's meeting interest
has greatly revived. One of the branches
received 20 members yesterday, making its
membership 100, while the other has a roll
of 50.
Brass Buttons at the Jail.

ECONOMY'S BIG DAYr
Arrangements for the Celebration of
the Annual Feast.
A MYSTERIOUS MANSION BUILT,
Which It Is Charged Was Intended for the
Followers of Teed.
POSSIBLE CONTEST ON KEW MEMBERS
The eighty-seventh annual feast of the
Harmonite Society in commemoration of
the day that the faithful followers of Father
Rapp surrendered their property to com
mon ownership, will take place to-day.
For 87 years this feast day has been one of
love, good fellowship and renewed ex
pressions of confidence in the society and
its peculiar religion. It has been the cus
tom to receive bread from the accepted
leader of the sect and by so doing give a
pledge of obedience for another year. Yes
terday it was rumored that Father Henrici.
would not be able to be present and that
Trustee Duss would give out the bread.
The report deepened the gloom of the older
members, who look with suspicion on their
young leader and are waiting the election
of members with the greatest fear.
The test of the power of Teed, the Koresh-
an prophet, is the question at issue auu
on its decision hinges the future of Har
mony. The candidates for admission as
members are Samuel Seiber and wife, H. D.
Silverfriend and wife, Mr. Turner and wife,
and Mrs. Kress and son. Mr. Seiber has
been a constable for the " Economitcs and
will not be opposed. The others are sup
posed to be members of Dr. Teed's peculiar
faith and will be fought as bitterly as would
Teed himself. The election will be by the
Council of Nine, a two-thirds vote being
necessary for approval.
The Most Objectionable Applicant
The applicant most undesirable to the
older and more conservative members of the
society is Silverfriend. They look upon
him as anintruder.whoseonlyaim is money.
Silverfriend, it is claimed, has shown a cool
deliberation both dangerous and obnoxious.
His first effort to establish himself in the
good graces of the members was to run a
night school without charge. He circulated
freely among the men many years his
senior, but received nothing but snubs. He
caused a sketch of his life to be published
in a Beaver paper, which was distributed
freely, but still he was looked upon with
disfavor.
As a last resort, it is claimed that yester
day a report was circulated to the effect
that the brilliant aurora borealis of Sat
urday night was the eye of Teed, the mod
ern God, watching the action of the Econo-
mites, willing to approve if the Koreshan
faith should be accepted, but ready for an
outbreak of fearful wrath if the society per
sisted in its refusal to receive Teed and his
gospel. Superstition, as a child of isolation,
has always had a lodging place among
these strange people who are in
the world, but not of the world,
and when the story of Teed's appearance
as an aurora was told and retold
in whispered conversation among the mem
bers of the creed there were a few who
almost believed, a few who hesitated in ex
pressing an opinion and others who openly
condemned.
There was scarcely an individual in the
town who had not seen the Northern Lights
the night previous. It was a strange, a
beautiful sight in Pittsburg, and still more
strange and beautiful from the little
plateau just above tne Ohio; reaching back
to receding hills on the north and extending
lengthwise as far as the eye can see. In
daytime nothing can be heard but a passing
rain, or puffing steamboat. At night the
ilence is oppressive. e '
A Sensation in the Valley.
The watchman patrols his beat from
7 in the Evening and on Saturday night was
the first to discover the aurora. He told a
passerby, the passerby told a neighbor,
and in a few minutes every resident, old
and young, was looking at the strange phe
nomenon that puzzles more scientific
minds and is looked upon by far
more people than they as something con
nected with divinity. The darting flashes
of light springing from a semi-circle and
forming what seemed like a segment of a
crown of brilliancy recalled the light of the
Son of Man to the ultra religiousmindsof the
Harnionites and prepared their thoughts for i
4T.A H.anhnn ne tvnth that m fhi. anrnn I
the reception as truth that in the aurora
there was something divine.
Teed claims to be the second Christ To
day his doctrine will be indirectly passed
upon by the counsel of Economites. The
star of Bethlehem guided the wise men
once before and was it not possible that the
Northern Lights had appeared at Teed's
command to indicate something, and was
not that something that Silverfriend should
be elected, was the argument of some of
Teed's followers. Little else was talked of
during the day, but there was enough nine
teenth century good sense to prevent a
general acceptance of the theory.
That Teed is making every possible effort
to gain a foothold in the Economite Society
has been made evident by a letter sent by
him to one of the Connc'ilmen in which he
makes the claim that he was given a promise
that some of the members of the Koreshan
Society would be given employment by the
Economite Society. The letter was an
swered bluntly and to the point It indi
cated that Koreshans would be unceremo
niously kicked out and that Teed's wiser
course would be to keep them housed in his
Chicago home.
A secret hitherto untold at Economy is
the general belief that a large house just be
low the town, which was built last summer
at the suggestion of Trustee Duss, was in
tended as a home for Teed. It is a mansion
in design and finish. The new house is
three stories in height, contains 28 rooms,
and is adorned with a cupola. Its arrange
ment inside is modern and convenient.
Its Construction a Secret.
No one but Duss knows why it was built,
and many openly assert that it was intended
for a home for Teed when, as the second
Christ, he should be admitted into the fold
of the Economites. The feeling is intense
against Duss, but there is no move to force
him from tne throne. His youthful activity
is a safeguard for him, but at the same time
is looked upon as an intrusion by
the older persons, who usually believe
a man a youth until he has rounded the
half century. They dislike to take instruc
tion from Duss at the religious services and
view with holy horror any diversion from
the old-time religious faith. Duss is noth
ing if not modern, however, and a week ago
last Sunday he even carried his progressive
ideas into au alleged improvement of the
Lord's Prayer. He was leading the con
gregation, and either purposely or by mis
take demonstrated an editorial instinct by
running the blue pencil through "deliver
us. from evil." The boiling down process
wasn't a success, however, and has been the
subject of continual discussion since then.
The exercises to-day will commence with
a sermon by Father Henrici. At 12:30 the
feast will be served in the 'town hall. It
will not be a banquet as prepared by French
chefs, but as a meal of the most tempting
and wholesome kind it will excel a more
modern menu as much as good country but
ter goes ahead of oleomargarine. The
women at Economy are noted for their good
cooking, and that, with an abundant supply
of home-made wine,is the only hope to pre
vent an outbreak of the hard feeling be
tween the Dussites and the anti-Dussites.
Damage Done by a Broken Wire.
An electric light wire broke and fell at
the corner of Ohio and West Dia
mond streett, Allegheny, yesterday after
noon. The broken wire fell across the

their work much earlier than usual. There
were only three cases at the Central police

lar Sunday service. George Egler had been
arrested at a Fifth avenue butcher
shop while stealing a piece of
meat He confessed to having stolen about
70 pounds of hani also, and was fined $5 and
costs, which he readily paid and departed.

house on Webster avenue, which he con
fessed to, and promised to do better in the
future. He leit $10 as an earnest of his in

charged with minor offenses, and were
either discharged or lightly fined. None
went to the workhouse.

at the Twelfth ward station. William
Ferry was given 30 days to the workhouse

Magistrate Leslie disposed of three cases
at the Seventeenth ward station. Mao
Sheridan was arrested in a saloon on Butler
street for acting disorderly. He resisted
arrest and called on his friends to help him.
and a rough and tumble fight ensued. The
officer held on to his prisoner, however, and
landed him at the police station. He was
fined $23 and costs. George Jones and
James Walsh, drunks, were sent to jail for
five days to sober up.
Magistrate Succop had ten cases at the
Twenty-eighth ward station. Owen Golden
and Frank Railly made things unpleasant
for Officer Lackner Saturday night, by
fighting him after being placed under ar
rest They were each sent to the work
house for 30 days. M. Flinn and John
Melauophy were "arrested for fighting. The
men had a battle royal, and when the officer
found them were both covered with blood.
$25 and cost each were the fines imposed.
Magistrate Hyndman disposed of three
common cases at the Nineteenth ward sta
tion and one at the Fourteenth ward station.
At the Nineteenth Jerry Collins was sent
30 bays to the workhouse, for abusing his
family at Homewood Saturday nisht

fined $1 and costs for drunkenness. At the
Fourteenth ward station Patrick Heallcy
was fined $10 and costs for fighting at Hazel
wood. There were 17 cases before Deputv Mayor
Braun, of Allegheny. None of them were
of any importance.
A Horse I.eft to Starve.
Officer Carmody, who does duty in the
Thirty-first ward, reported a peculiar case
of cruelty at the Twenty-eighth ward
station last night. Sometime ago a resident
of Allentown, named Mickel, died and left
a will. In this will it is alleged that he
stipulated that the heirs should take special
care of a horse which had been a favorite of
the deceased. The stipulation was that the
animal should not be worked. According
to the officer's report the heirs are not
working the horse, but have left it unfed in
the stable for some time. The matter will
be reported to the Humane Society for in
vestigation. Congh A Remarkable Cnre By Jayne'g
Expectorant Years Ago, and the Con
dition of the Patient Now.
Moscow, Ohio, Dec 3, 189L
Dr. D. Jayne & Son Gentlemen : For
years, in my younger days, I was troubled
with a bad Cough, and in consequence was
weak and delicate. My friends thought I
was verging toward Consumption, and every
indication pointed to that fact; so much s"o,
that I was refused admission to the Armv.
I was induced finally to try Dr. D. Jayne's
Exnectorant. and almost immediately re
ceived relief. After the use of a number of
hoM in connection with Dr. D. Jayne's
.' ... . -
Sanative Pills, I was entirely cured. To
day I am well and hearty, and weigh 35
pounds more than in my younger days, and
have no signs of Consumption.

Minneapolis People Up in Arms Against
- the New Liquor Ordinance.
Minneapolis, Feb. 14. A monster
mass meeting was held this afternoon at the
Lyceum Theater to protest ajainst a recent
ordinance passed by the City Council, for
bidding any one save a police officer to
prosecute saloon keepers who violated the
liquor ordinance. So great was the indig
nation that the theater was unable to hold
the crowd, and overflow meetings were held
at Plymouth Congregational Churph and
the Hennepin Avenne 3Iethodist Church,
and an extra meeting in the evening.
No violent speeches were made, but the
Aldermen came in for severe censure and
the people were requested to atttend the
primaries.

turned to the court room Judge Steere asked
him if he wa3 guilty or not guilty, and he
answered guilty. He was then sentenced to
ten years in the penitentiary.
