THE FAST HAIL SSEVICE. A Great Sarins or Time for Teoplo Living in Indiana anil the West The Pennsylvania llailroad began with last night to give Uncle Sam the finest ex hibition of speed and good service in the delivery of the Eastern mails to the "West that has e er been known in the history of the company. On the 20th of December the company put on a mail car from Pitts burg to Chicago, -via Ft. Wayne, that connects with the Kcw York tram arriving here at 9:10, and arriving in Chicago at 9:45 in the morning. It was intended at thit time to give tlie same facilities to Indianapolis, running the car on the Indianapolis and St Louis diis ion, but the Pennsylvania Company was unable to complete the car in time. Cin cinnati was given the same service as Chi cago. The Indianapolis and St Louis car has been completed and was attached to that division of the road tor its first run last night, going a far as Xeuia with the Cincinnati car, and thence directly through to the "West The advantages of- this rapid service to the four cities is almost incalculable, afford ing to the banks, business houses and mer chants generally a mail service from Xew lork direct that thev long have wished for, but little expected tb get This train makes four hours better time than train No. 13, which formerly left New York at 4:45 A. jr., but which has'siuce been made a local. To the business men of "Western and Central Indiana this means 24 hours better time than they hae heretofore enjoyed, because good connections can be made at Indianapo lis with the trains leaving that city for the sections named, which has until now been impossible. Major "W. i Hitt, chief clerk of the service at Indianapolis, and Fred M. Burr, chief clerk at Cincinnati, left with he new train last night INDIAHA DEKOCRATS FOE GHAY. MrShivelT Says That Good rolitics Would Dictate His domination. Congressman Shively, of Indiana, with his wife, who is a daughter of George A. Jenks, passed through the city last evening, bound for Washington. "Out in Indiana," he said, ''our people are all for Gray for first place. "We think that he stands a good chance to be nominated, and realize that we lost everything four vcars ago when we were on the fence. Whether Harrison is renominated or not by the Republicans, it would be good politicsfor the Democrats to have an Indiana man on the ticket Gray is after first position, and I do not krow that he would take second place. I have not talked with him on that subject He will have a solid delegation from the State." 3Ir. Shively thinks that attacking the tariff piecemeal is the best plan. He says it gives men a chance to vote for an ad ance or leduction in the duty on certain articles, an opportunity that thev did not have before w hen they cast their ballots with the combination. The piecemeal method takes the tariff out of politics,,and allows Congressmen to vote ns they think best. A number of Republicans objected to some of the duties in the JIcKinlcy bill, but under the circumstances they had to support the measure as a whole or loe all. 3Ir. Shively thinks that silver legislation will be precipitated by the declarations made in New York before Congress opened that no silver bill would be reported. This only stirred up Bland to gVeater activity. Mr." Shively adds that discussing thfc sijv er question will not help Grover Cleveland's chances for the Presidency. A TWSHXY KILLIOII K03TGAGI. The Fidelity Title and Truit Company's Unprecedented Trusteeship. The Fidelity Title and Trust Company was yesterday appointed trustee in the lar gest financial transaction that has ever been placed in the care of a Pittsburg institution. It was in relation to the mortgage of f20, 000,000 which has been issued as one of the steps in the reorganization of the Allegheny "Valley Railroad Company. Heretofore Philadelphia companies have been selected for the trusteeship in great transactions of this sort, but in this instance, while the financial interests affected are mostly located at Philadelphia, the Fidelity of Pittsburg was selected by the Philadelphia people as the proper trustee. Secretarv SIcVey, of the Fidelitv, yester day had a copy of the 520,000,000 mortgaie elegantly printed on vellum. It was to be Tecorded yesterday in Allegheny county, and to-dav will be sent to eight other coun ties in which the property belonging to the road is located. These counties are Arm strong, Westmoreland, Clarion, Venango, Crawford, Jefferson, Cameron and F-lk. This is the largest mortgage ever recorded in Allegheny county, with the exception of one connected with the Pittsburg, Cincin nati and St Lonis Railroad, in which the amount was 575,000,000, but the trusteeship for the Panhandle mortgage fell to one of the Philadelphia compinies, while that of the Allegheny Valley Railroad is sent to Pittsburg. GEOANS TEOH THE HOSPITALS. The TJsual Small Knmber of Accidents for Monday Chronicled. There were but four accidents yesterday imd none of them very severe. A railroad claims one, a boiler another and the slippery pavement the others.

General A. J. Warner, of Marietta, was a passenger on the Eastern express for Wash ington last evening. The ex-Congressman still clings to Gorman as the- most available Democrat for the Presidency, but he is greatly tickled by the free silver talk of Senator Hill. Mr. Warner will support any Democrat for President who will vote for the restoration of silver on an equality with gold. This is his pet hobby, and he can contrive the most ingenious arguments in favor of it Kot Much Coanterrclt In nttsbnrg. Dsn McSwecncy, the United States de tecthe, went Kast last evening.

The detectives make it so hot for the counterfeiters that their lease of life outside of the penitentiaries is very short in Pennsylvania. iffrr-i ttWm r'ty". -W'l fliinl i-'-iltfMirirVift'flili THE BATTLE T0- 0 It Promises to Be the Hottest Political Contest in Many Years. UGLY EIGHT IN THE SIXTH. A House to Douse Campaign Being Made by the Candidates. THE WARD FULL OP CIRCULARS, c, In Whirh Charges and f!nnntpr-Chn.rees ra Freely liade. MONET AND wniSKT IN THE SIXTEENTH The Councilmanic contest in Pittsburg to day promises to be the hottest political con test the local leaders have ever experienced. The political lines are not drawn closely, but in nearly every ward in the ity there is an unorganized uprising against the present management of city affairs, and only the lack of leaders will prevent the city administration from being badly worsted in the contest. The fight being made by the citizens is not against any par ticular department in the government, but rather a geneial protest against the tri ennial assessment about completing. While the fight in all the wards will be lively enough to keep the ward bosses within sight of their ward polls, the battle in the Sixth, Thirteenth, Fifteenth, Six teenth, Eighteenth, Nineteenth, Twentieth and Twenty-ninth will be hot enough to keep all concerned at fever heat from 7 o'clock in the morning when the polls open until 7 r. M. when the polls close. Aladft a Ifonso to House Canvass-. More work was done in the Sixth ward yesterday than was ever done there before. The six candidates for Councils, the two candidates for Alderman, and the six candi dates for School Director spent the day in a houe to house campaign. Every door bell in the ward was kept constantly ring ing, and the housewives, or at least those who do not take an active part in political fights, were more than a little an noyed by the almost unending pro cession of workers that marched through the streets and alleys in search of votes. Many of the women wives and friends of the candidates spent the day vis iting about, pulling the wh es cf the voters in line for to-day. It was reported in the ward last night that a friend of M. L. Malone's, the candidate for Select Council against Philip Elinn, had gone to Mercy Hospital j esteiday afternoon and solicited the votes of the patients in the institution who- were able to walk just across the street to the polling place. Mr. Malone emphatically denied this storv. He said he could win the fight without voting hospital patients. The followers of Mr. Flinn, however, are confi dent of success. A number of queer combi nations have already been made in this ward and it is said with at least a shadow of information that Philip Flinn is in all the combinaitons made up to date, or that arc likely to be made anytime to-day. Besides the force of his brother, Senator Flinn, Philip Flinn will have back of him James Richards, who is accepted as the strongest man in the ward, and other workers of his class. Blahone Is still a Good Hustler. M. L. Malone, however, is a hustler. He has not been active in politics for a few years, but he formally pulled the ward pretty much as he pleased and he is con fident that he will to-day rally all of his old-time following. The feeling in the ward is bitter and it will surprise many if there are not some rough and tumble battles before the day is over. One side is watch ing the other closely and any uncertain vote will be challenged and not a few of the bal lots will have to be sworn into the box. Al ready threats of prosecutions are being made in the ward by both sides and the Cit i7ens' Committee have circulated notices that any attempt at crookedness or coeicion will lead to the arrest of the parties impli cated. Similar notices aie being circulated by the Flinn people. "One of the circulars recite that the valu ations in that ward have been materially reduced. It is charged by the citizens' organization that such circulars are being scattered about to deceive the tax payers and to influence the voters against Mr. Malone. The citizens also -allege that on inspection of the figures will prove the assertions of the circular to be false and groundless. Lvery erve Strained to Elect Flinn. The combination of citizens and Demo crats are making a good show of fighting Dunn and Larkin the administration can didates for Common Council in the Sixth ward, but the real issue has been made against Phillip Flinn and the success of the others is conceded.' The Flinn forces are well organized, and his campaign has been worked bv all the skillful politicians in the city. Never in a State or national contest has so much interest been put, and never in any contest has there been as much genuine political pulling as will be done to-day. It will no doubt require a count of the voles to determine the result in the ward. The fight in the Thirteenth ward is be tween W. P. McEldowney and Bmil Spohr. Both express confidence in their ability to win and each with his friends is working the ground over. Religion, politics, family affairs and even the tariff has found a prom inent place in the contest and the orators out theie are telling and retelling the vir tures and manv admirable traits of their particular candidate. While both candi dates are in dead earnest and are fighting to win their constituents are battling good naturedly and the indications are that the best man will win. A right to the finish in the Sixteenth. In the Fifteenth ward Edward Wain wright is vigorously opposing David Craw ford, the present Common Councilman. Both candidates are reputable gentlemen, and the ward has been so worked that every vote will be cast to-day. AH the force of the administration andthe professional politicians with well-filled purses are industriously at work in the Sixteenth ward. An effort is being made to defeat J. C O'Donnell, the Democratic candidate for Common Council. Mr. O'Donnell is backed by the Democrats and citizens and the entire ward was last night fairly ablaze with enthusiasm and ward workers. Both sides have been working day and night and both sides are putting into the fight plenty of money and art abundance of fine whiskey. The ward has been flooded over and over with cir culars. The administration peonle are tell ing in lively hand bills what Mr. O'Don nell has failed to do for his constituents, while the hand bills being circulated by the friends of O'Donnell, tell what ho hasdone in the way of fighting the ring. How lie has labored to get an auditing of the city's accounts, and how in the future he will devote his energies to exteminating the so-called ring and so-called ringsters O'Donnell Pictured as a Ilnle. On one circular, under the caption of O'Donnell's record in Council, is the pict ure of a mule kicking himself into the air. On another circular is a list of the wants of the ward in the way of street lights, side walks, bridges and other improvements, with the assurance that the ward will get them if Henry Magee is sent to Common Council, Similar circulars are being distributed by Robert It. Warner, the present Select Councilman from the Sixteenth ward, and Henry Epping, who is opposing him. Under the heading of Warner's record is a blank page, while under the heading of Epping's record is printed a review of all his work while in Council for several years. In that ward the fight is bitter and ugly, and the followers of the candidates are worked up to the fight ing point The contest is likelv to be close and many ugly scars are likeiy to result from the conflict. No disturbances are con templated, but it wai asserted in the ward last night that both sides had provided ample liquid refreshments to keep steam up to the top gauge for the entire day. A Cioso Sight in the Nineteenth Ward. In the Nineteenth ward Dr. J. P. Ster ritt is making a lively fight for Common Council against George Williams. The contest is decidedly hot, but the campaign has been clean and entirely free from per sonalities or abuse. Both candidates are confident of success and even the leaders were last night confused by the outlook. In the other old city and East End wards the contests to-day will be spirited and interesting, but do not rise to the dignity of politicalfights. Senator Flinn said last night: "There are several rather ugly contests on for to morrow, but our fellows have itheir work well in hand. There are but eight Inde pendent candidates in the field, and I am confident the complexion of Councils will not be materially changed. A petition was presented in court yester day by J. J. McAfee asking that an over seer be appointed for the Second district of the Fifth ward for to-day's election. The Court appointed R. Chaplin and James Stofford to act as overseers. The effort to drag the church into the fight in the Thirty-third ward has created some little confusion in the fight on the Southside. The ward is largely Demo cratic, but the friends of Thomas Perry, the Republican candidate are not without hope. MORGAN FOE CONGRESS. The Alliance Manufacturer Would Like to Get McKinloj'g Old Flace. T. R, Morgan, Sr., the Alliance manu facturer, went to Philadelphia last evening. He is a candidate for Congress in McKin ley's old district; so are Judge King and General Asa Jones, of Youngs town, but it is possible that Mr. Morgan will not have the3e men for competitors. One of the bills in the Legis lature makes a district out of Stark, Carroll and Columbiana counties. This leaves out Mahoning county in which Youngstown is located. Another bill puts Mahoning in with Stark. As for Major McKinley, Mr. Morgan thinks that he will be nominated for President He figures that the leading candidates will go to Minneapolis with strong delegations, get into a snarl, and then McKinley will be selected as a com promise. This would remove the Major from the field. He has a great desire to go back to Congress after he serves his term as Governor. It is hard to tell which one of the bills redisricting the State will be passed, but whether Mahoning county is in the district or not Mr. Morgan will enter the field for Congressional honors. He is prepared for a tilt, if necessary, with Judge King or Gen eral Jones. Two Republican Clubs Sleet Together. A joint meeting of W. H. McCleary Re publican Club, of the Twelfth ward, and the William Flinn Club was held last night at No. 2544 Penn avenue. Thomas Rosewell presided. Addresses were made by Thomas E. Perry, Robert Johnston and H. Hag maier, the Republican candidates for Coun cils, pledging themselves to strict economy in the matter of appropriations if elected. The meeting then adopted resolutions in dorsing the entire Republican ticket Com mittees were appointed for each district to take charge of tne work for the nominees. Campbell Laid Mercer Cold. At the Republican primaries at Wilkins- burg yesterday, J. J. Campbell received the nomination for Burgess by a majority of 63 votes over J. L. B. Mercer, the present in cumbent. Some interesting developments are expected at the election to-dav. There is some talk of putting up "Pap" Kennedy, the well-known old railroad conductor, as an independent candidate. Overseers for Each District The citizens of the Sixth ward, who are interested in the success of the taxpayers and renters' ticket, decided last evening to make application to court this morning for the appointment of overseers lor each election district. ALLEGHBHY FIHAKCE D0IKGS. The Committee Orders a Change In Fare on the Observatory Hill Road. The Allegheny Finance Committee met last night, with Mr. Gerwig in the chair. A resolution instructing the Controller to notify the officers of the Observatory Hill Railway Company of the intention to change their ordinance so as to make the fare on day cars 5 cents, and that cars be run from terminus to terminus without change, also for the removal of the extra tracks on Federal street was affirmatively returned to councils. A resolution authorizing a compromise of the claim of Peter Huckenstein of damages against the city for ?2,000 was adopted. An ordinance for the transfer of $1,000 from the fundsnot in use in the City Treasury to the contingent funds for the use of the Auditing Committee was laid over. A re quest from City Treasurer Macferron to be allowed to employ ten extra clerks to col lect taxes, was granted and the salary placed at 560 per month. The bill of Auditors Biggert and McKirdy for $352 50 for work done in the month of January n as approved. The bill of Thomas Carson for the balance due for the paving of Irwin avenue, with 6 per cent interest, was re ferred to the City Solicitor for an opinion as to whether it was proper for the city to pay contractors interest on monev due them on city contracts. . A resolution requesting the Controller to report to Councils the amount of taxes owing by natural gas companies was laid over at the request of Dr. Gilliford, who said that the Auditing Committee was look ing the matter up and wonld soon be ready to report on the subject. SLIDE ON THE PANHANDLE. Hundreds of Tons of Rocks Roll Down Mt Wasliingrton. A slide on the Panhandle Railroad tracks opposite Sligo mill, on the Southside, de layed passenger and freight trains all yester day afternoon and until late last night Passengers were taken over the Ft Wayne road to the Ohio connecting bridge. The slide was entirely of rook that broke loose about half wav up the heights and came down with such force that the steel rails were twisted and forced into the road bed. " Some of the rocks were almost as big as a street car and had to be broken before they could be removed. Last night enough of the slide was removed to allow a track to be laid around it. The double track will not be opened for several days. The Old Game Revised. v The old green goods scheme is again being worked around Pittsburg, On Saturday, E.

The Spiritualistic Medium Trapped by Invited Guests. THEY WERE TOO INQUISITIVE. Spiritualist Cogan Makes a Speech Defend ing Miss Fay. FLOWERS DISCOVERED Iff A BUCKET Annie Eva Fay, the spiritualistic sleight-of-hand performer who a week ago raked in a few hundred shekels from Pittsburg people who were willing to be bunkoed, re peated the seance last night to a much smallei audience. She was assisted in the show by a couple of local seekers named John McGraw and John Carey, who went on the stage to see that everything was done fairly. They were very anxious to know jns,t how the tricks wete per formed and were soy inquisitive in finding out that the audience was kept in constant uproar, and Miss Fay and her manager in a state of uneasiness similar to that of a bad boy in school when the teacher is making an investigation. Interest was also in creased by the efforts of a Spiritualist named James Cogan to defend Miss Fay with a flowery speech, in which the claim was made that she is a true medium be tween the quick and the dead with the abil ity to converse as freely with those beyond the grave as to talk gossip with a next door neighbor over a back fence. Condemning Policemen. Previous to the performance Miss Fay's manager explained that she was prevented from giving an entertainment the week be fore by the police. He condemned the Pittsburg police in "language more forcible than polite, not even stopping to think that Miss Fay's divinity should have enabled her to foretell that Chief Brown wouldn't let a sleight-of-hand performance go on with out having the prico put up for a license. When the show started last night McGraw and Carey volunteered to watch Miss Fay's movements, and if possible, get a clutch on some of the spirits that are sup posed to hover around her. Both men were matter-of-fact mortils that evidently took little stock in the theory that they w ere in the midst of ghosts when on the stage. During the performance of the first cabinet trick they couldn't "get on,"as McGraw ex plained, but when the second was jnst ready to be sprung they hammered things around so lively, asked so many qnestions, and made so many marks at different places to be sure nothing would be duplicated tuat the promised multitude of hands failed to materialize. Willlns to Do the Trick. "I can do that trick," said McGraw. "I'll bet you five you can't," answered a well dressed, cnrly-headed, English-looking fellow, who threw up a card that read: "James Cogan, with Joseph Home & Co., residence, 19 Church avenue, at home Fri day evenings only. "I'll go you 25," answered McGraw. The offer was promptly taken, but Miss Fay de clared she didn't need any help in giving the entertainment. At Mr. Cogan's request, however, she allowed .him to make a .speech. The audience had been laughing, screaming, cheering all evening, and when Cogan got on a chair it fairly howled. "The truth is heavy," he began. The Anditorian quaked with noise. Then Cogan got indignant His face grew red. With a voice trembling with anger, he yelled: "I don't believe there is an American cit izen among you. I thought this was Amer ica, but I guess it's Russia. In the King's name I sneak. In the name of my Father in Heaven, whose servant I am, if there is one woman or child, or a King's dauehter, or if there is a son of America, an adopted son of America among you, hear me first and shoot me afterwards." "Hear him. He's better than the Fay fake," yelled aVoice. The words encour aged Cogan, and with renewed determina tion he said: "My name is Cogan. I come from an old ancestor. The reason I wanted to speak was to clear my name of a disgrace, but I found it was only mud thrown at it Now laugh. The people laughed when Christ was on the cross. I have been in Pittsburg and I am known. That is, you thought you knew me, but you didn't" "And we don't want to," came a chorus that sent Cogau and his speech to the wall. Miss Fay Shows Her Temper. Miss Fay was as angry as a hen on a hot grindle when it was her turn to go ahead. She is a wiry little creature with as much flesh as the Allegheny electric towers, and as she paced back and forth over the stage flashing her eves like a caged tiger and mut tering something to herself, the audience commenced thinking of the wierd witches that they had read about in youthful days. The little woman clutched , her fingers, tapped her white-slippered foot on the stage to command order, and with a genuine voice commenced calling Pittsburg people real mean for not behaving better. -She said she would be ashamed to live in such a city. Carey thought he fwas entitled to an explauation, and said ' that he was an American citizen and that he thought the show' was not spiritualism but trick. From that time on the performance lacked both spirit and spirits. The talking board wasn't in a talkative humor, although it answered a few questions, and even the supply of flowers lacked their wonder when Mr. Carey hauled out the bucket they were concealed in. While it must be admitted that Miss Fay gives a good slight of hand performance, it should also be said that just as good ones .have been seen in Pittsburg many a time before and .with far less noise about it. May Have to Cat .Off Her Feet. Emma Abbey, the girl found in a badly frozen condition in Spring Garden bprough on Sunday last, is lying in a very critical condition at the AUegheny General Hospi tal. The girl's left foot is frozen to the ankle and the right foot almost to the ankle. The physicians at the hospital state that at least one and possibly both of the feet will have to be amputated. The Anti Cruelty Society have taken charge of tho girl, and yesterday a suit for cruelty was made before 'Squire Willful, of Spring Garden borough, against Frank Dean and his wife, to whom the girl had been given in custody. Yesterday morning Mr. Dean called at the hospital to see the girl, and stated she had run away from home and they oould not control her. Nothing has yet been learned of the girl's former history or parentage. , A Small Street Car Wreck. An accident happened at 10 o'clock last night near the corner of Irwin and Western avenues, Allegheny,on the Pittsburg, Alle gheny and Manchester line. Car No. 105, of the Wood's Run division, was just round ing the curve at the corner of Irwin avenue, coming toward the city, when the front wheels left the track, and before the moter man could apply the brakes -the car banged clear across the street and against a tele graph pole. Car No. 105 was coming in the opposite direction at the same time with such speed that it could not be checked aud a collision occurred. Both cars were com fortably filled with passengers at the time, all of whom escaped any further injury than a bad shaking up. It is thought the car was running too fast and it jumped the track. Indorsed Col. Kntlrdge. The officers of the Eighteenth Regiment met last evening and indorsed Colonel Frank Rutledge for Adjutant General. Tho resolutions were telegraphed to Governor Pattison.
