There are many men who have not the sense, and they are not necessarily dishonest. In the matter of the cure of inebriates by any drugs, we are not concerned with the moral perceptions, of anyone. Is it possi ble that this man has really discovered any thing of value? Is there any hypothesis which throws light upon the question? Is there a liope that the treatment is not all a delusion? Mav some help be derived from it for the inebriate? There is some reason to think that all these questions may in part be answered affirmatively. Salts or Gold T-ons Used. The salts of gold were employed at a very carlv period in the history of medicine as remedial agents. It was natural in the days when the use of all drncs was purely empirical, that men should regard the rarity and the cost of snbstances as indica tions of their value as medicines. Gold was valuable, and therefore was thought necessarily useful in the treatment of dis ease. The difiiculty experienced in making its salts doubtles added not a little to the belief in their efficacy. As scientific observation replaced more and more completely the old euipirism, the remedial value of gold compounds began to be doubted, and, at the present day, most authorities upon therapeutics hardly allude to them. The chloride of gold and the chloride of gold and sodium (sometimes called the double chloride of gold and sodium) are recognized i-i the British and ."United States pharmacopoeias, the former being official in Great Britain, the latter in this country. Very little practical import ance is assigned to either by the majority of practitioners of medicine. . Doctor Opposed to Gold reparations. Although the mas of medical opinion is against attributing anv curative properties 'to the preparations of gold, it is noteworthy tliat from to time article-, have appeared, written uv men of known ability, in winch it "is averted tliat the chlonde of gold and sodium, or some other salt of sold, possesses the power of curing, or ameliorat ing, certain disease w Inch are produced by an overgrowth of what is cilled "fibrous connective tissue." It Is more accurate to pay, not that the diseases themselves are really produced b this overgrowth, but that "the symptoms are thus produced. Many or the diordrs characterized by excess of connective tissue are the re;ult of intemperance. There is Rood reason to be lieve that one of the causes of the excessive thirst for driik w Inch so often overpowers the drunkard in hU efforts to leform is tho extra work put upon the rest of the body by thn Tir-eirv nl nonnshinir this newlv- formed and useless tissue. If.as some think, the gold salts both check the ovcrarowth ana cause the ali-eady existins new fibrous tissue to be removed, it Is evident that they mav plav the important part in relieving the drunkard or his trouble. Their use may re lieve him of the burden of a body in which countless useless cells are atorbing the nourishment needed by the rest. Testimony That Must Ke Taken. "While most physicians deny that sold salts lave such a power. It must be remembered that the few who have asserted that it ex ists are for the most part men of known ability, and have lepeatedly made the asser tion. It is not pos-.ble'to regr.i d their testi mony entirelv as worthless. Asuuiinsr that the gold has the property mentioned, it will he seen that by itself it "cannot be expected to cure the drunkard. The most that can bo hoped from its administration is tho re moval of ono of the results of intemperance and the restoration to a normal condition of certain diseased structures. This is a most important thing, Irat something more must be done, for the effects of alcohol are not limited to production of fibrous tissues. Our bodies are composed of countless minute living particles called cells. These live, have offspring, and die just as do men. Their lives are short, but they go through the same stages a do all livine things, and, like all living things, they acq ulie habits. Moreover, they seem to transmit to their progenv the habits which they have acquired. The drunkard accustoms his body to stimulants, tho body cells each and all set to need tho stimulant in hort, becomo Jiabitu.il drunkards. Every cue of them demands stimulants, and the frantic thirst for drink icsnlts in part from this. Something must bo administered to allav thb demand and take the place of alcohol. The substitute must be of a kind that will Jiot itself become necessary lor the body, lor it is useless to exchange one habit for another, or, as mav happen finally, to add to the curse of drink the curse of a desire also 3br another poison. A Drug Substitute for Liquor. A study of the medical llteratuie which las appeared during the lat few years, makes tt seem that a drug exists which has the properties requisite to make it a perleet substitute for liquor, at least for a time. Each year adds to the evidence that tho poisonous alkaloid derived from mix vomica, and called strychnine, very often completely destroys the desire for liquor, and'that this effect may last n lone time after tho drusi has been abandoned. One pieparation of strychnine.called the nitrate, has been praised by a number of good physi cians for this property, especially when given in very large doses 113-podcrmically. Some observers assert that a complete cute often follows its use. Perhaps the strych nine and gold will be found a means of curing a certaiu number of drunkards. it is tnougnt oy some tnat tne adminis tration of a little atropine with the strych nine intensifies the action of the latter. Itothgold salts and strychnine are danger ons substances, ana should 1101 lie used, save under the advice of a competent physician. The poisonous properties of koIu are not unlike those of mercury amentia, dys pepsia, and salivation result from its in judicious use. The dangers of strychnine me known to all. It Is needless to say that large doses of this substance may "prove fatal in a few hours, and that none but a "w ell-trained medical man can tell how much may be safely given in the case or each patient. The Rights or the Discoverer. As for Keeley, his selfishness and greed liavcmade it impossible fairly to test tho merits of his claims. It I1.11 been shown too dearly that these are exaggerated, but have they any foundation in fact If he contin ues to keep his methods seci-et.it will be 3ong befoie we can know. There is no doubt that he has what is called "a right" to keep Ins eciet, hut there is also no doubt that it is not tight for him to do so. Hu manity suffering from the evils caused uy drink ouzht to have an opportunity to test the exact -value of any plan of treatment asserted to be so efficacious. If it is with out value the fact should be ascertained and less biltciness of disappointment be added to the agony of despainug millions. If only ono drunkard in ten might be cured oy Keelev's method, his policj permits tliou fcands upon thousands of wretches to die every year whose lives might be saved. For these needless deaths and for the misery of countless innocent parsons Keeley must ho licld accountable, unless he is either de ceived as to the efficacy of his method or "knows it to be fraudulent. A ECAELET IXVEE EPIDEMIC. The Residents of Forest Grove, Robinson Townhip, Greatly Alarmed. Scarlet lever has caused a panic at Forest Grove. Kohiuson township, and if the rav ages of the disease are not soon abated there is a prospect that all business will be sus pended. TnoorD. K. Swing's children died -within a few hours of each other. Five of a iimily named Brenn are prostrated: the rchool teacher took the disease and school is suspended, and thero are several other cases reported without names. Eev. Dr. Ecacoui's wife assisted to lay out one of the Ewing children and in some manner con tracted blood poisoning from the corpse. Yesterday one or her Angers came off, and jdie is pronounced in a ciitical condition by the attcndimr physician. The disease appears to be frightfully malignant, and some people are afraid to send their children to school at the Kansas i-choolhouse, distant nearly two miles from Forest Grove. Physicians so far are unable to assign a 1 eason for ttie malady. Not a Case or Snlcide. Joseph Geouzza, w ho w as round dead with" a bullet hole in his head at his boarding Jionse at Etna j esterday morning, did not commit suicide as wss published. Coroner Mellow ell made an investization of thG case yesterday, and found that Geouzza hadbeen curelosslv handling a revolver, when it acci dentally discharged, the bullet penetrating the brain nnd killing him instantly. A ver dict ot death from accideutal shooting was tendered. The deceased w as 17 years old. Klvcrside Makes a Good Showing. The committee appointed by tho State Board of Charities to investigate the men tal condition of the inmates of the peniten tiaries in Penns3-lv.inia is now at work at lllverside. The committee reports having found few cases of insanity or even partial insanity. The percentage will be a crcat dfal smaller than that of the Eastern Peni tentiary. The committee will complete its ork to-day. 1 i m ' ml ii ill ! liiiiiiMi iViiiiili n iliii (11 hr t .

A STEOXG OKGAMZATION TVill Take an Active Part in Coming Senatorial Contest. the ONE MEETING HELD LAST 'NIGHT. The Congressional FqnaoMe in the Tiventy- Fourth District. POLITICAL FEATURES OF INTEREST The Pittsburg admirers of Hon. John Dalzell and the champions of his campaign for United States Senator to succeed M. S. Quay, were worked up to an enthusiastic point yesterday over the address sent out the day previous from Philadelphia by the recently organized Pennsylvania Kepub lican Association. The association already extends to Pittsburg, and a large number ot the leading Republicans of the county, in cluding merchants, bankers, lawyers and politicians, have already joined the organi zation, and are contributing liberally of their time and efforts to secure the election of Mr. Dalzell to the "United States Sen ate. It is announced that the Dalzell move ment is in competent hands, and assurances are given out that an earnest campaign will be made in every county in the State to elect to the next Legislature members pledged to support Dalzell for the Senate. Leaders in every county in the State have been consulted and advised with concerning the steps taken, and while there has been no effort at a still hunt campaign, little was known of the organization until every fea ture of it was perfected and every detail had been arranged. rittsbnrg Leaders of tho Movement. Among those who are back of the move ment in Pittsburg are John IV. Chalfant, John H. Ricketson, B. F. Jones, Harry Paul, H. D."V". English, George Shiras IIL, Judge Mellon and "Win. L. Chalfant. Harry Paul is an ex-President of the Americus Club, accepted as one of the leading polit ical organizations in the nation. He told last nicht of the organization and the pur pose of the Pennsylvania Republican Asso ciation. "The movement wa set on foot by Repub licans who have confidence in and hope for the Republican -party," Mr. Paul said. "The purpose is not to antagonize any man or any faction in the party. .On the contrary it is intended to preserve the party and to protect it against factional squabbles and methods that are damaging. The organization was not formed in the in terests of anv one man, and it cannot therefore be called an organization formed in the interest of Mr. Dalzell. Conditions that to able men, interested in the success of the Republican party, seemed threaten ing, brought about the occasion. The Man for the Occasion. "Mr. Dalzell was accepted as the man for that occasion. His rare ability as a law yer, statesman and orator fits him for the, United States Senate, and all these quali ties especially fit him to lead in the needed reform in onr national representatives. Mr. Dalzell is one of the most interesting figures in public life. He has never had political alliances that conld in any way ap pear offensive. He is morally clean and unlike almost any other public man his whole life, prolessionally and politically, can be uncovered at any time, only to his advantage. His courace commands the res pect of all who know him or who have watched his public or private career. "ilr. Dalzell's character i his strongest supporter in his present campaign. His eminent fitness, as I have said, makes him tho man for the occasion. His moral strength strengthens tno Kepublican party where it is weaket and I predict that the whole State will be ablaze with enthusiasm for Mr. Dalzell before the campaign is much older." Not a Stain on His Keeord. Major A. M. Brown, the well-known lawyer, public speaker and Kepublican. was gratified at the movement in Mr. Ddlzell's Interest. He said: "I have known Hon. John Dalzell during his entire professional life. Profes sionally, socially, and among all persons -who are privileged to know him, it Is not necessary to state that he is a lawyer of the most eminent ability and polished educa tion. Mr. Dalzell is endowed with rare liter ary and scientific acquirements. He has been strictly moral, upright and honorable throughout his entire life. lie is worthy of the confidence of the people of this Com monwealth, and he is thoroughly equipped in every Sense to fill with rare credit to him self and his State the high office of United States Senator. "Of Mr. Dalzell's standing and usefulness in the Lower .House of Congress I need say nothine, except that I unite with the people generally in admiring his success and ability as a member of Concress. I would be highly cratifled to see Mr. Dalzell elevated to the hiclier station of United States Senator." A mcetlngof Dalzell supporters was held' 111 Hie T iwviiuias uiuiuill lusb infant, at which many business men and lawyers were present. A permanent organization was effected and headquarters will be opened next week. GREENE COUNTY NOT IN IT. A Meeting to Arrange for the Congressional Convention In the Twenty-Fourth Dis trict There Are Many Signs of Tronble Ahead. Greene connty was rubbed off the map of the Twenty-fourth Congressional district yesterday, so far as the Republicans of that district are concerned. A committee of three representative Republicans from the comities of Washington, Fayette, Greene and that part of Allegheny county in the Twenty-fourth district were to have met at the Hotel Duquesne yesterday to fix the time and place for holding the Republican convention to nominate a candidate for Congress, a candidate for Presidental elector and elect two delegates to the Re publican National Convention. Greene county, however, lefused to send represen tatit es tothe meetinir.nnd the other counties 'decided to act -without considering Greene county in tne aeai. asnington county was represented by J. F. Taylor, John A. Carson nnd Edward McDonald. Fayette county by John It. Byrne, I. S. Newmeyer and A. F. Cooper, nnd Allegheny connty by Recorder George M. Von Bonnhorst, William German and Dr. G. W. Foster. P. S. Newmoyer pro sided and .1. F. Taylor acted as Secretary. Greene Connty refused to enter thu confer ence because it had been announced that tho old conference system, allowing each countv in the district eqnal representation, w as to bo abolished and all future Congres sional nominations were to be made In con vention, each eounty'a representation to be based on the Republican vote .at the last Presidential election. Why Greene Connty Kicks. This system was adopted, and it was ar ea ed by these Greene county people that they will hereatter have no share In such conven tions. The system adopted yesterday gives to .Allegheny county 18 delegates, Fayette county 14, Greene 5 and Washington 16. A combination by Allegheny county witli cither Fayette or Washington under tlie new arrangement enables them to do as they sec fit. It Is claimed by the Greene county people that an arrangement has already been effected between Allegheny and Washing ton counties whereby Washington is to get E. F. Acheson tor Congi-css, and Allegheny it, to have Recorder George Von Bonnhorst for one ot the delegates to the National Convention. The other delegate to the National Convention and the Presidental - . . . . ' I -. -.-.,- r . elector nro to be divided between Fayette and Greene county. This arrangement is not satisfactory to Greene' county Republicans. They want to "send J. W. Hay back to 'Con gross. The friends or Colonel Andy Stewart are also dissatisfied. They believe the Colonel, who was recently unseated in Con gress, should get another chance for tho Elace as a vindication, and the frlonds of J. . Findley, of Monongahela City, contend that the arrangement was not fairly ef fected, and is to their disadvantage. The meeting in Pittsburg yesterday waspf the star chambor order, and tho discontent felt throughout the district was not publicly aired until after tho meeting had adjourned. The Flan That Was Adopted. The following resolutions were submitted by Mr. Von Bonnhorst and unanimously adopted, with instructions that copies of them be sent to tbe Chairmen of the several Connty Committees in thu district, after which tho meeting adjourned: Whereas, The Kepublican btto Convention of 1831 recommended "that in all Congressional, Sen atorial and Judicial districts, composed of more than one county in which the custom of the party Is now to nominate candidates and name delegates to National Conventions by means of the conferee system, that representation In the conference shall be based upon the Kepublican ote 111 each county of said district:" therefore, lie it lteeolved. That the Republican Congressional Coinentlon of the Twenty-fourth Pennsylvania district, for the purpose of nominating a candidate for Conrress a candidate lor Presidental Elector and to elect two delegates and two alternates to tho Kepublican National Convention at Minneapolis, polls. shall be held In the Select Council chamber, rllts- bure. onTuesdav. Anrill9. 1S9 at II o'clock A.M. that representation In said convention shall be bated upon the vole cast In each couuty for Presi dent Harrison in I88S, one delegate being allotted to each county for each 500 votes, and an addi tional delegate for a fraction exceeding the half iiiereoL me represeniauon tnerciore ucing: Alle gheny, 18; Payette, H; Greene. S; Washington, 16; that these delegates be elected in each countv in ac cordance with the local Republican rules thereof, and In case any county has no rules governing said matter, then these delegates shall be elected bvxhe County Convention; the county representation shall continue to be based on the Republican vote cast for the Presideutal electors at the previous Presldental election, so long as iheTwenty-rourth Congressional district shall remain as at present constituted. STREET CAR TAXATION. Mayor Gourlej and Controller Morrow In favor of Kcsurrecting tho Ordinanco Now Buried in Committee The moant or Revenue That Would Be Secured, The question of reducing the millaje has been revived since the election excitement has subsided, and numerous suggestions are being made as to how it can best be done. A propositibn was being discussed at City Hall yesterday that tile street car tax ordi nance presented in Councils last November be passed, thereby securing a revenue of $35,000 to $40,000, which could be deducted from tho appropriation for the Public Safety Department. That amount is now expend ed for policemen especially detailed to watch the street car crossings, an expense that is generally conceded to belong to the traction companies rather than the taxpayers. Mayor Gourlev believes that the car tax ordinance should bo passed, and at the same time an additional one requiring tne trac tion companies to pay the city tor all tho officers detailed to guard crossings. Ho be lieves thnt the companies would only be pay ing a trifle in return lor their valuable fran chises it they were compelled to pay a license or tax of $50 a year on ovory car they operate, as well as to pay tho wages of every policeman required to protect the publlo and the companies from damage suits at the crossings. The revenne tius secured would amount to about $75,000. Controller Morrow in January, 1891, ap pealed to Councils for a street car tax. He said in bis communication at that time that tho receipts ot the city from the valuable street franchises given to traction com panies had dwindled down to less than $1,000 owing to the evasion in various ways of existing laws by the companies. He thought a tax or $50 per car would be f.ir, as that was the.averase charged by other cities. Ho showed that Xcw York received $174,000 a year, Baltimore $147,000. St. Louis $43,000, Chicago $33,000, Milwaukee and Cleveland $33,000. each trom stroet car companies. No attention was paid to this matter until last fall, when so manv fatal street car accidents occurred. An ordinance was prepaicd thun to chnrze a tax of $50 a car and prescribins other restrictions for the public safety. The ordinance was referred to a committee has not been heard of since. and HUNTING FOR SENTIMENT. A Friend of G rover Cleveland Makes a Tonr of the West. E. T. Hepburn, a prominent drygoods mer chant and politician of New Yoik, went through Pittsburg last night on the fast line, lie is a personal friend of Grover Cleveland, and it was stated by a fellow passemrcr that he had been making a tour or the Western States with the object of discovering what the Presidental feeling is. Mr. Hepunrn "would not admit that his visit was entirely of a political nature. He stated,-however, that he took occasion to confer with leading politicians, and found them nearly all in favor of Cleveland as opposed to Hill. "In Ohio," ho said, "the Democrats are ostensibly for Campbell, but few of them be lieve there is any chance of him winning. For second choice Cleveland is preferred to Hill. In Indiana, Gray is getting all the cliocrs, but the quiet arguments are for the ex-President. Tho other Western States feel the same wry and will fall in line for Cleveland after giving their complimentary votes at Chicaeo. I don't know what to think of New York. Hill has been treach erous to his party and seems tohnve things in his own hands. The early convention is an outrago and disgrace to the" Now York Democracy. Hill's manenvering is danger ous to the party, but I think Cleveland will be nominated and elected." TALES OF THE TWO CIIIES. The only contribution to the Grand Army encampment fund yesterday was $50"" from AVilliain Witherow. Tdk dally report of the Bureau of Health showed one new case of scarlatina and two new cases of diphtheria in the city yester day. The Irwin avenue school, of Allegheny, will celebrate Washington's birthday with patriotic exercises this afternoon. Tho frienes ot the school are invited. SurciUHTENDEKT McTn, of the Allegheny pollco force, received from New York yes terday a handsome rogues gallery cabinet, tho cost being $100. It contains spaces for 2,000 photographs. A chakter was issued at Harrisburg yes terday to the East Palestine Coal Company, of this city. The capital stock is S14.000. The directors are A R. McKee, of this city; A. B. Stevenson, Braddock, and James McLaren, Allegheny. Thomas B. Foster, 45 years old; a printer by occupatioc, was found dendin bed at his home in the rear of 62 Chatham street, j-es-terday. The man has been suffering for a long time from heart tronble, and it Is thought that caused his death. Miss Stevick, a young lady of Wilhins burg, was attacked on the streets of that town, Wednesday night by a burly negro. The girl screamed and her assailant fled. Her cries drew a crowd which at once bo came blood-thirsty and would have hanged him if he could have been found. Tnx remains of Lawrence Hnrdtel, who was found dead In an outhouse on South Eleventh sticct Wednesday last, were burled in St. Michael's Cemetery yesterday after noon. It was found that lie had $19 In wages duo him and a subscription taken among bis fellow workmen made sufficient money to give him a decent burial. Bt order of the Court, a tipstave of Com mon Pleas No. 2, was out In the Eleventh dis trict of the Fourteenth ward last night serv ing subponaes on the election board of that district. It appears that on making their returns tuo board put in the number of ballots cast for each Candidates, but tailed to put In the candidates names. Colokel IIcKie, traveling commissioner of the Salvation Army from England, who has been traveling round the world inspect ing the different branches of tho work, will hold a great Salvatlpn demonstration in Lafayette Hall, on February 20 and 21. He will speak on the Army's work in different' contrles, and will give a lecture on General Booth's "Darkest England" sociaLscheme. THE ALLEGHENY BHANCH OFFICE OF THK DISPATCH AT 107 FEDERAL ST.

Leading Business Men and Manu facturers Tell of Successful TRIALS OP SMOKE CONSUMERS. Many Others Talk of (he Pressing- Necessity of Their Use'. AN APPEAL" TO COUNCILS FOR ACTION The- testimony to show that smoke con sumers are a success grows daily as the sub ject is investigated. Friends of cleanliness claim there is no reason why the ordinances that were shelved in the Council Commit tees of both cities because "it had not been officially demonstrated that smoke consum ing appliances were a success," should not now be taken down, dusted oil and passed. A new and interesting thought in con nection with the. smoke nuisance was pre sented by a downtown business man yes terday. r'Suppose," said he, "that the "natural gas supply should be exhausted completely to-morrow. What would be the result? We would have a new illustration of the city's growth and development and be disagreeably reminded of the days prior to the natural gas era. The darkness caused by the smoky pall Of those days would be trifling in comparison with that which would fall like an inky mantle over our ciry. It Would Ee Worse Than Ever. "The number of large office and other buildings in which elevators, steam heat and power are used has largely increased and many of onr business houses have their own electric light plants. The power to operate all these is steam and it cannot be produced without burning fuel. The 'addition of all these smokestacks would increase largely the amount of smoke as a matter 01 course. The big electric light plants and traction power houses would add much more. 'Nearly all the smoke produc ing establishments that previously existed are still with us, so that a'U these new smok ers ate an Increase nnjl they are scattered all over the city. Unless the City Councils speedily adopt some restrictive measures Pittsburg will become more dark and smoky than it has ever been, for it is only a ques tion of a short time until our gas supply will boa thing or the past." Edward Koil, treasurer of the Amalga mated Association, disputes William Mot calf's statement that iron cannot ho made without smoke, said he: "At the Plttsbure Forge and Iron Works we are heating and puddling iron with gas made by Siemens ens producers, and with most gratifying re sults. Thero is a great savinjin fuel, the smoke nuisance is reduced to a minimum and the economy of labor required to heat aud puddle Iron Is ono of the best features of tho system. Why, aj; the National Tube "Works the puddlers are so well pleased with the easy work they have that they refuse to connect themselves with a labor organiza tion. It is not only possible but desirable to work iron by tills process. It saves money to tho manufacturers and laboror the work men. The first cost of tho Siemens process la heavy, but it pays in the end." The Bindley Hnrdware Company, of Seventh avenue, has a stoker system which works like a charm, and one looking at the big smokestack on tho building would think the fire wns taking a vacation from tho small volume of smoke Issuins. Mr. Cochran, of the company, kindly explained the system as follows: Tlie Plan of Consumption. "It Is an automatlo device. Tbe coal Is put in a bin over the furnace and is fed into the mouth of tne fire pit, where it is coked. It then passes down -into the pit. The heat Is so intense In the furnace the gases are consumed and no smoke is made. Early In the morning, when the fire is started afresh, there is a little smoke, but it is never over 2f percent. It will smoke also If allowed to work at a faster rate than It was intended to." The cork factory of Armstrong, Bros & Co. wns visited. It Is situated In the midst of a half dozen big mills, whose smoke stacks are constantly pouring out great volumes of filth, and were it not for the puffing of the steam from the factory's engiues it would be hard to tell that three bis boilers were being fired with coal. The systmn here Is tho same, and Superintendent Gow had this to say of Its efficiency: A Scarcity of Smoke There. "We have no smoke at all except when the fire is being changed, and then only for a few minutes. We burn about ton tons of coal por day. Besides tbe fact that the smoke Is consumed, the stoker is an eco nomic device, both from a financial and la bor standpoint. It Is possible togeta better service out of the coal, as a pound will matte more steam when bnrned this way than by the old mode of firing. Wo can also burn the cheapest, meanest coal that can be bought." Tho Westinghouse Machine Company, of Twenty-sixth street, has this system at tached to ono of its boilers, and it is highly praised. The superintendent, in speaking of it said: "We have three boilers in opera tion,"but of these only one Is supplied with a stoker. It was put In as a test, nnd we are so well pleased with It that I thinK we will get two more. Tills boiler is used tx run the new engines in the test ing room, . and often It requires 1.000 pounds of steam. Of course, we do not carry that large a head of steam, but by worklpg the stoker more rapidly than usual wo can get it up on short notice. It is only at thesetlmes the furnaco smokes. Even then the volume of smoke Is not to oe compared with that coming out of the two stacks, where the boilers are fired in the old way. Great Saving in Fuel. "We also find it a great saving to us in coal. We can burn a very Inferior quality and less of it. We are now running this boiler with SOO bnshels of coal per day." The Walnwrlght Brewing Company has this samo arrangement and it is doing its worK wen. Tiiroe honors are being con stantly fired, but there Is not as much smoko coming out of the whole three as is often seen issuing from the" protruded stove pipe of a shanty boat. One of the members ot the company saia: "The Disfatcii is wording along a good line In investigating the use of smoko con sumers or'stokers. It must come, and come soon. I am of the opinion the man who does not nse one in his mill or factory is not prac tical in his business transactions. We find we can not only consnme or abolish our smoke but save monev in fuel. We purchase tho poorest grade of slack coal we can find, and even then we can make more steam with it than we can with a much higher grade of coal fired In the old way." Stokers In Successful Use. The Allegheny County Electric Light Com pany uses a stoker. Its work compares favorably with that of others before men tioned. The only time there is any show of smoke is when the fires are started fresh. The stoker system has been in vogue at the power honso of the Pleasant Valley Traction Company for the past two years and a half. Chief Engineer Johnston gaye the following Information: "I can safely say we do not have a bit of smoke, as a glance at our smokestack -will show. I suppose yon have found, in some instances, even where tho stoker is usod, that some smoke escapes. It is not so with us, and the reason of it Is that we use a vertlcle boiler. The horizontal boilers will always smoke some, but tho vertlcle ones never win 11 tney are suppneu with stokors which are properly manipulated." The Pennsylvania Company's offices on Penn ayenne use tho smokeless furnnco svs- loiu ivn-uuwu """ consumes auout SO per cent of the gases. It is a double firebox arrangement. The first fire pit cokes tbe coal, when this is done, tho coke is pnshed back Into tho second pit which Is heated up to 800. The consequence Is that when the gases come In contact with such an intense heat they are nearly all consumed- Tho trouble with the system Is that when the doors are opendd to push the coke back tho furnace smokos more or less. In is different from a stoker from tho fact that the harder it is fired, the less smoke it will make. An Allegheny Engineer's Idea. ' Andrew Brice, a well-known engineer of Allegheny, whose father owned the first iron mill west of the Alleghenies, gave It as his opinion yesterday that the best method to get rid of the smoke nuisance Is not to make smoke. "Smoke is not combustible," he taid, "and theiefore theio can be no means of successfully consuming It. It is possible, however, to, burn coal without making smoke and at the same time save 90 per cent of the fuel. The fact is well known that 55 per cent of tbohentgeneratedby coal is lost in making a draft. Thirty-flve per cent Is lost In other ways. lea.vini- nnl v in mv cent for use. v By the method I iiroposo, all r r. the heat is retained and consequently only one-tenth of the fuel now usea would be neccessnry. The subject Is one, I think, to which Inventors should turn thelrattentlon.. I have a plan which I Intend to have patonted and which I think will he very successful. I have built a machine at a cost of only $15, so you see It will be cheap enough for practical purposes. It will use slack coal of not more than 1 inch cube. While this coal Is usually thrown away the fact remains that ic is bet ter and contains less foreign substanoes than lump coal. By my method the flame will be just like that from gas. It 1 parti ally on the same principle, as is Intended to generate gas from coal nnd Is so cheap that everyone can have his own generator. The method Is a secret, but will be made known in a short time." MADE MEBIBERS TIRED.

Neeb presented a resolution for a special committee to confor with the City Solicitor to ascertain what action Is neces sary to provide for the appointment of Com mon Councilmen under the act of May 26, 1S91, and the sum required to pay assessors for making an assessment of tho roident taxables as required by this act in making the apportionment.

Sensational developments are expected to result from a suit for divorce filed recently. The plaintiff is the wife of a well-known young business man. The wife Is also of a prominent fa'inily and the prominence of both parties lends additional interest to the affair. It Is now asserted that the husband will fight tho case bitterly, haying in his posses sion some facts reflecting seriously on hair a dozen young men well known about town. The, story is that ono of the party was pav ing consldeiable attention to the wife. Meetings were always arranged befoiehand, and whllo tho young man was visiting at the other's home, tbe latter was led oft by the remainder of the crowd to a down-town carousal. It is said the husband will prove these facts against the suit of his wife. Soveral of the parties implicated are prominent, and one of those alleged to be involved Is a, well-known local politician, who has been recently very prominent in affairs.

STrliHI3BWBBBBBBi!HBBBByTMrHS Jij ANOTHER ROCK FALLS On the Panhandle Tracks on the -Southside, Killing One Man and IKF0B1TO A KOMBER OF OTHERS. A Eccond One of Those Hnrt Is Not Expected to Survive. THE NARROW ESCAPE OP 'MANY MORE Another land slide ocenred last night at the scene of Monday's disaster on the Pan handle Railroad. This was a most disastrous one, however, as cne man has died and four others are badly injured. Yesterday morning a large Jedge of rock was penetrated and a heavy charge of dyna mite was inserted. When discharged the lower part of the ledge fell and the work men at' once began clearing the track. The work was dangerous, as the upper part of the ledge remained, and it was not known how solid it .was. Several parts of the rock fell while the men were working there, but no one was injured. About 6:30 o'clock a nnmber of laborers were working directly under the ledge, when, without any warning, the huge rock fell with a crash. Most of the men ran to places of safety, but five of them were badly injured. Two were not expected to live. They were taken to the West Penn Hospital, where one of them, an unknown Italian, died on the operating table. He was horribly used up. His leg was broken, ribs fractured, and ho was injured internally. Ho never recovered sufficiently to tell his name or residence. Tho other man gave his name as Elijah Bomaine. He was badly Injured about the backhand head, and ono arm was fractured. It is thought he will recover. Thepthermeninjured were Polish laborers and' were known by numbers. They were able to go to their homes. The work of clearing the tracks still goes on, but It ls somewhat at a disadvantage owing to tho danger. The men hadbeen warned In regard to the danger and the warning saved them from a wholesale slaughter. Tho body of the dead laboror was removed to the morgue and an Inquest will be held. A HIST0BICAL SOCIETY MEETING. The Turkey and the Pennsylvania Oil Fields Were the loplcs Discussed. The monthly meeting of the Historical Society of Western Pennsylvania was held last evening at Carnegie nail, Allegheny. An interesting paper was read by Miss Jennie Lambing. It was entitled "The American Turkey," nnd was in fused with humor and witty stories, besides containing a fund of in structive history and facts bearing on Western Pennsylvania, in connection with the turkey. Benjamin Franslln believed the turkey and not the eagle should have been chosen as the national bird, as It is a peculiarly local product. In Mexico It is the favorite tow, nnd as early as the sixteenth century a scrap of history discloses the fact that one of the court items of the country was for 8,000 turkeys. "The Oil Fieldsof Western Pennsylvania," a paper prepared, by J. W. Drape, was read and a valuable description and history of oil in the locality mentioned was contained In It. The development of the fields and the magnitude to which this work has developed and to which it is constantly increasing was clearly shown. A WOOD STBEET ASSIGNMENT. Frederick Wick, of Kittannlng, TVill Look After the Creditors' Interests. A deed of voluntary assignment was filed at the Recorder's office yesterday on belalf of C. H. Andrews, doing business at what is known as tho Boston Novelty Store, Nos. 406 and 403 Wood street. The assignment is in favor of Frederick Wick, of Kittanning, Pa., for the benefit of creditors. The failure was generally known on Wood street yesterday afternoon and occasioned some surprise, ns the house seemed to be doing a large business. The assignment was not made until late in theatternoon.but tbe storo was closed all day and a notice on the door informed the public that it was "closed while taking stock' but would open to-day, leading to the supposition that an effort wns being mado to avert tho trouble. An effort was made last niaht to find some of the parties connected with the establish ment, Dut none conia ne lounu. xmsiiieBs men on tho street nearby said they did not know who owned the store. C. II. Andrews had never been known by thomns connected with the business, but they understood it had recently changed hands, v Working on the Twentieth Ward. The Board of Assessors did not finish the reductions in any ward yesterday. Chief Assessor Case has so far recovered from his illness that he was able to spend part of the day at the office. Assessor Larkin and sev eral clerks were at work all day revising the Twentieth ward valuations. This Is one of the largest wards in the city, and a srront deal of woi k is required to go over It. Thero will doubtless be u large number of reduc tions until the assessors get through with the ward. Congh A Remarkable Cure by Jayne's Expectorant Years Ago, and the Con dition of the Patient Now.
