The movements of "W. M. Kennedy are
somewhat of a mystery. He will go to
Cuba next week on business, but will be
back in time to attend to his canvass for

understood previous to last night
by Mr. Kennedy's friends that
if Mr. Voegtrv were appointed
for the 30-dav term, he would not be a can
didate for election. The contradictory an
nouncement was not made in time for any
course to be outlined. Mr. Kennedy stated
to one of his friends Jast night that he would
go into the field against Mr. Yoegtly
if the latter runs, but that statement was
made in the heat of the evening's battle and

not" believed br a majority of
Allegheny politicians that Mr. Kennedy
and Mr. Voegtlv will oppose each other.

A COMBINE PROPOSED.
A Plan to Orcaniro the Independent Citi
zen", Stralphtout Republicans and the
w Democracy for Mnnicipal Purposes
o Politics In the Scheme.
A movement is now on foot to combine
the Independent Citizens, the Straightout
Eepublicans and the new Democratic party
for the next municipal election. In this
way. it is argued, the City Hall administra
tion can be whipped and the three organiza
tions can be of some cflect As they now
stand, it is claimed, they are unable to ac
complish any purpose, while if united they
would be in a position to dictate to the ad
ministration and probably secure a majority
in Councils or elect the Mayor.
"Our scheme has not vet been definitely
decided upon." one of the Straightout He
publicans said yesterday, "hut we are mov
inc slowlv in the direction of consolidation.
"VV have been gettins the worst of things
in Pittsburg tor vears, End all conditions
are ripe for an independent movement. On
all sides it is arreed that as we now stand
we can accomplish nothing in either Alle
gheny county or Pittsburg, and as a matter
of protection to ourselves and the people
we have decided to combine.
"Of course.there will be no politics in our
rombination. We would endeavor to secure
as our candidates clean men who have the
interests ot the city at heart and who will,
alter election, serve the people instead of
the bosses.
"The successful work of the relormers and
citizens i Allegheny City warrants us in
Vliering that we can do the same thing in
Pittsburg The powers that be were just as
Mrong as in Pittsburg. But one year of
careiul work and thorough . organization
brought about a change. "

THE LI1TJEFED
Within Which tho City Board
of Assessors Has Abso
lute Power.
OPINION FKOM MOBSLAXD.
'Vacant Land Cannot Be Classed as
Built Up Even if in Lots.
FEATURES TO BE CONSIDERED.
The List of Appeals Already in From ths
Fourteenth Ward.
RESULT OF TESTEEDArS RETISIO.N
City Attorney Moreland yesterday de
livered to the Board of Assessors his
opinion, requested bv them, on their right
j to change or eliminate the classification of
j property for taxation purposes. The
' board has been perplexed for some time to
know whether the law gives them unlimited
power in this matter, as a glance at its pro
visions would indicate, or whether there
was not between the lines of the law,
visible only to the experienced eye of the
attorney, restrictions that would keep them
within practically the same bounds in which
they have worked in the past It has been
evident that the assessors desire to eliminate
the rural classification from several wards
in the city where it has been allowed in the
past, and wipe out the agricultural class
from all but two or three wards.
The City Attorney quotes the law and
shows them where they have absolute con
trol of the matter. But there are limits
they must keep within in classifying prop
erty, and, in his opinion, Major Moreland
tells the board they have no right to assume
that vacant fields shall be regarded as "built
up" property simply because it may be sur
veyed and laid out in lots.
A Condition, 3fot n Theory.
The lots must be improved and the bui'd
ings must be there. The Major intimates
that the assessors have no right to lay out a
man's fields into building lots for taxation
purposes, as several taxpayers complain
they have done during the present assess
ment. The opinion is full, however, and
the assessors are satisfied that it simplifies
their course. A complete copy of it is here
given:
To the Board of Assessors:
Gentlemek You have asked my opinion
upon tlie construction to be given the third
section of tho act of May 5, 1876, entitled, "An
act providing for tbe classification of real
estate for purposes of taxation, and for the
appointment of assessors in cities of the
second class."
First The section to which you refer de
clares "the said board then shall proceed to
classify the real estate so assessed, in such
manner and upon such testimony as may be
adduced before them, so as to discriminate
between built up property, rural or sub
v i ban property, and property used exclu
sively for agricultural or farm purposes, in
cluding untillable land respectively, and to
certily to the Councils of said city during
the month of January of each year the ag
gregate valuatiou of city, rural and agricult
ural property subject to taxation, etc."
Tlie Sole Illscretlonary Power.
It will be seen that this act confers upon
you, and you alone, the discretionary orpls
criminating power. Beyond the right of ap
peal to the courts no one has any authority,
right or duty to supervise, direct or contiol
the exercise and performance of this dnty,
vested by law exclusively in you. Its exer
cise should be prudent, cautious, ti Ithout
bias and free from favoritism. The funda
mental idea underlying the act is equaliza
tion of taxation upon a settled basis, and
with a recognition of classification.
When the act was passed there was little
trouble in determining to which class prop
erty should be assigned. Outside tbe built
up portion of the city the prop
el ty was either rural or aim
cultural. The shaaowy or doubtful line
now is, what is rural orsurburban property?
There is no trouble iu flxins 'the compactly
built up portion nor the' classification of
agricultural. As to the latter the law de
clares it must be such as is "used exclusively
for agricultural or farm purposes, including
untillable land." It is, therefore, the use,
not location or amount of acreage, which is
to determiue its character. It used ex
clusively tor farm purposesit is agricultural,
and therelore entitled to the benefit of the
reduction in taxation.
Tbe Legislature undoubtedly meant to
provide for a class which was not to be
assessed at the full rate, and yet to be
assessed at a rate higher tnan the agricult
ural class. This class it called "rural or
submban." Webster defines this term as
"pertaining or belonging to the country, as
distinguished from a city or town, suiting
the country or resembling it."
Since the passace of the act of 1876, many
sections of this city have been completely
tiansloimed from the second to the first
class, and the time is rapidly approaching
w hen your difficulty will be removed, chang
ing rural into built up property.
A Question of Judgment,
Just what shall now be taken out of the
class known as rural and placed in the built
up class Is altogether a matter of judgment,
and it is to the judgment of the assessors
the law Intrusts it. I may be of the opinion
that the class known as rural no longer ex
ists, you may think dltlcrently, and the
courts have still another view, so that the
whole matter resolves itself Into a question
of judgment, and this judgment is to be ex
ercised upon a question of fact rather than
law.
I, therefore, could not undertake to point
out to you just what property you should
class as rural and what you should class as
built up, nor do I understand you to expect
this. There are certain rules, however,
which I think you should observe.
First Whatever method or system you
may adopt on the subject ot classification,
let Its application bo uniform. Do not
adopt one rule for one part of the city and
another for another.
Second In determining whether a cer
tnin section or locality should be classed as
built up or rural you should not be governed
entiiely by the fact that it has paved streets,
light, water, police, gas, fire protection, etc
These matters are important elements to be
considered, but should not absolutely con
tiol. A street may be a mile in length,
paved, lighted, liavewater and gas mains,
and both police and lire protection, yet
there may not be a dozen houses throughout
its entire length. This property, In my
judgment, cannot be properly classed as
uuiltup.
On the.other hand, a street may not be
paved, may not even have gas or water
junins, yet tho houses throughout its entire
length may bo compactly built together. I
think such can be properly classed as built
up, and thus become liable to an assess
ment at full rate.
Thlid In determining the class to which
a locality belongs, you sbould take the
locality and not pieces ot property sepa
ratclj. It is the neighborhood or surround
ing property which, iu my judgment, fixes
the class; and yet tliciA may be acres of leal
estate, in the midst ot rural or cveu built
up property, which should be classed as
agricultural, simply because the law says
such property must be so classed.
The Locality Not n Positive Guide.
Fourth The mere fact that a piece of real
estate or many pieces of such iu a locality
ayre laid out in building lots, sbould not, in
my judgment, change the character of tbe
pioperty for tbe purposes of taxation. A
farm may be laid out In buildinc lots and
still used for farming purposes. If there are
no buildings, or, at best, a few. It cannot be
said to be built up. In other words. In order
tojustify the assessors in classifyine such a
locality as built up property, tnere must be
more than a mere desire or intention to
build; tho bulldlncs must be on the ground.
Henco It Is that tbe law requires you to dis
criminate between these three classes.
Fifth The term "built up property" does
not, in my Judgment, necessarily mean
compactly built -up; on the other hand it
V5f
does not mean a. street or locality when
buildings, generally speaking, are several
hundred feet apart or perhaps more.
Equalization of taxa lion Is required by the
constitution of this State, but classification
for taxable purposes Is equally recognized
and sanctioned by the law. No system of
taxation has ever yet been devised by the
wisdom of man which would not worjc hard
ships, perhaps injustico to some. The Legis
lature has Instructed to you tho
duty of determining the question
primarily. In its performance tbe
good Judgment of the assessor must be
their guide and law. Your larger knowl
edge and wider experience may, even with
yourmost patient toil and honest work, be
annulled by the courts. For this you are not
losponsible.
I nave given you my best thought on this
subject It may not appeal to your judg
ment. I can onlv sa- I have souzht to aid
you in what I believe the most delicate and
difficult task confrontln:: any set of men in
this city at this time. I am willing to aid
you in meeting and discharging it in any
way possible.

PITTSBURG-' .DISPATCH,,
SOT A RAT OF LIGHT
Has Yet Been Thrown Upon the
Mystery of Sarah Joyce's Death.
NO EVIDENCE OF A SHOT FOUND,
But Other Features Lead the Coroner to
Feel Sure of Foul I'laj.
FE0GRESS OF TIIE IXYE6TIGATI0N
The cause of Sarah Joyce's death remains
as much a mystery as at the time when her
body was found on the lonely hillside at
Four-Mile run. The physicians, yesterday
finished the autopsy and their re
port to the Coroner is that death
resulted from shock and exhaustion,
no wound or diseased condition being found
in any part or organ of the body that could
be taken as the cause. Coroner's Surgeon
McCandless and Police Surgeon Mover,
who conducted the examination, unite in
saying that from a surgical point of, view
the case is one of the most remarkable they
have ever met with.
Sarah Joyce was a model of health, and
her anatomical development was perfect,
as the autopsy showed. Every organ in
her body was as near the anatomist s ideal
as could be found. The wound on the richt
cheek, the cause of which mystifies sur
geons, Coroner and police, was compara
tively a trifling affair, and that on thetop
of the head was even less so. She, was a
strong, vigorous woman, who would ordi
tiarily be but slightly aflected by such in
juries. McDowell Relieves in Murder Still.
Coroner McDowell holds to his opinion,
as stated in yesterday's DISPATCH, that
Miss Joyce was the victim of an assault.
He believes she was either shot or struck
by some instrument which produced
a wound similar to that a bul
let would make. "While working har
moniously with the Coroner on the case
Inspector Whitehouse and Detectives
Bobinson and Fitzgerald incline to the
opinion that the girl fell and was not as
saulted. They are, however, following
closely every indication of a clue, and still
hold John Pulpus, the colored man, whose
arrest was noted yesterday.
In support of" his theory the Coroner
holds that such a robust, vigorous person as
Miss Joyce must have received a terrific
shock to have produced the fright which
evidently caused her to sink helpless to the
ground "and lie there until relieved by
death. Such a shock would come
from suddenly meeting on. the lonely
roadway an assailant, who with uplifted
arm should spring from the darkness upon
her and deal the Dlow which, sent her roll
ing down the hill. Had she simply missed
her footing and fallen the Coroner thinks
she would have suffered little fright and on
return of consciousness would have resumed
her way to her destination.
The Pointer Against Pulpus.
There are but two points concerning
the colored man Pulpus that seem to show
any connection between him and the girl's
death. One is the fact that he was seen,
and admits of having gone up Sylvan avenue
in the same direction taken by the
girl half an hour later. The
other is the finding on his person of a num
ber of pieces of heavy copper electric light
wire. The wire is about three-eighths of an
inch thick and cut into pieces about six
inches long. The Coroner says that a hard
blow struck with one ot these pieces of wire
would produce just such a wound as that
found on the dead girl's cheek, but alllhe
pieces of wire were carefully examined, and
no blood was found on any them.
Pnlnus. when asked to account forhavinu
thef wire, said) it had been given 1 him on'
ndny morning by rhilip JNolan, a black
smith, and he intended to use it in making
harness rings. Nolan, however, denies
giving the prisoner the wire, but says
Pulpus had been around his shop on Thurs
day, and might have stolen it then. This is
the most suspicious point in connection
with Pulpus, and the chances of strengthen-
ing it do not seem favorable. He was"
rigidly examined by the police officers
yesterday, but with little success. He
claims not to know of what he is suspected,
and the officers have not told him.
The evidence supporting the theory of
the police that the girl fell over the hillside
seems reasonable and the Coroner admits
its probability. They think the girl fell
heavily on a sharp stone, or possibly a nail,
which caused the cheek wound, and that
lockjaw ensuing caused death. The con
dition of the body when found gives color
to this supposition. The remains of the
dead girl will be interred to:day at St.
Marv's Cemetery.
& NAEROW ESCAPE.
A Little Child or W. H. Parsons Drinks a
Quantity of Belladonna.
Last evening about 9 o'clock, the little 4-year-old
daughter of W. Hf Parsons, of No.
1901 Carson street, drank a quantity of
belladonna, and it.was feared it would result
fatally. Mr. Parsons is manager of Bisher's
drugstore at that place and lives up stairs.
Mrs. Parsons brought her two children into
the store and, as usual, kept a close watch
on them. A friend entered and the atten
tion of the parents was drawn from the
children. The baby was found a few
minutes later with a vial of the drug, and
had taken some of it. Medicine was quickly
administered to counteract the effects of the
drug, but for some time it was feared the
child would die.
The little thing was walked about for over
an hour, and with hard work was kept
awake. It gradually became better, and in
a few hours was out of danger.
Looking lor Ills Son.
Last night George Sillerman applied at
the Seventeenth ward police station for aid
In finding his son Otta. He said he had
sent the boy to a German school on Thirty
seventh street. The boy did not like
school and played truant quite often, but
was puuished every time he was found out.
For the last day or two he has not been at
school, and the supposition is that he played
truant, and was afraid to go home on ac
count of the punishment. He was seen on
Butler street yesterday morning and will
probably return homeif not caught. Siller
man lives on Kincade street, near Forty
ninth street.
Claims He Was Bobb-d.
George Morrison was arrested by De
tective Johnston and lodged in the Alle
gheny lockup last night oVi a charge of
larceny from the person. The 'information
was made by George Strickline. The lafter
alleges that a week ago Morrison, who is
lrom Valencia, induced him to go with him
to a hotel, corner "West Diamond and Ohio
streets, and spend tlie night. "When Strick
line awoke in the morning he lound Morri
son had gone, also $11 of his money.

A SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING
Called for the Purpose of Attending to
TJnflpishtd Business Matters Which
Are Likely to JBe Considered Some
That "Will Be Shelved. "
Late yesterday afternoon. President Hol
liday, of Common Council, ordered a special
meeting of tljat branch to be called for Tues
day afternoon "to take action on unfinished
business," a large quantity of which has
accumulated. As the regular date of
meeting is not until next -Monday,
the order caused some surprise at City
Hall and it was claimed the meeting might
have something to do with the appropria
tion ordinance. There is not much ground
for this, however, as the Finance Commit
tee has not held a meeting on tlie ordinance,
and the assessors have not yet reported the
taxable valuation upon w'hich the basis
millage must be fixed. It is
understood that the assessors will
supply an estimate of the yalna-.
tion at Tuesday's meeting, and that as
soon thereafter as possible the Finance
Committee will get to work. It is expected
the committee will report an ordinance to
Councils at the regular meeting next Mon
day, taking the Assessor's estimate for the
basis.
Among the unfinished business of Com
mon Council is Chief Bjgelow's sidewalk
ordinance, but it cannot come up in Tues
day's meeting because it was postponed last
mont until the second meeting in February.
As there was no quorum two weeks ago
Tuesday's meeting will be the first of the
month and no action can be taken on the
bill until the regular meeting of next Mon-
dav-
Councilman O'Donnell's audit ordinance
is part of the unfinished business that will
likely be called up. It has been read a
second time in Common Council. As all
business of Councils as present organized,
will die with the close of the
councilmanic year, this ordinance will
probably be staved off until that time and
allowed to die. The Mayor's "more power"
ordinance and the ordinance taxing street
cars are expected to meet the same fate.
There are a number of street improvement
bills and street railway extensions that are
at present in Common Council awaiting
action, and they are likely to pass on Tues
day. THE GORGE IS HERE.
Crowds of People Watch the Vanguard of
the Ice It Iteaches Pittshurg at 51ld
nlcht Water at Fifteen Feet and Little
Prospect of a Flood.
The first of the broken gorge reached
Pittsburg at midnight 111 the descent it
had gained a great deal of speed and on
reaching here was dancing merrily along
twice as fast as at Parker.
The river rose three feet in an hour,
reaching the 15-foot stage. "With it came
the ice, covering the water from bank to
bank with a white mantle.
It had been bumped, battered and banged
together in its journey so much that very
few large pieces remained, and most ot it
was little more than slush. The main body
of the gorge is not expected before day
light. The report that the gorge was coming
caused considerable excitement, and hun
dreds of people gathered on the bridges and
along the banks to look at it. A
great 'deal of talk was induced in
as to the possibilities of damage from high
water, and people living near the river in
both cities were preparing for an emergency.
But in all probability these fears will not
be realized. Fifteen feet of water is a long
way oft from a flood. The sudden rise was
caused by the water which had been held
back by the gorge. Now that it ishere there
is little chance of its going any higher. Be
sides, there is plenty of outlet below, and
the water is hustling along at too lively a
Tate to give Pittsburg an unwelcome visit.
Even at the rapid speed the ice is now
going down it will take it all day at least
to pass this point. Though badly broken
,up it will be a sight well worth looking at,
and doubtless there will be grat crowds of
spectators along the river to-day.

IF GLASS J1EN MOVE
One of the Main Objects Will Be to
Secure Lower Taxation,
ACCOBDING TO THE MANAGERS.
The Question of Cheap Fuel Also Enters
Into the Hatter.
THE TIEW3 OF SECRETAKI DILLON
It is now almost an established fact that
the seven table ware factories in the United
States Glass Company will be moved from
the Southside. The cause is attributed by
those interested to a number of things, one
of'the strongest being the high rate of taxa
tion the company would have to pay if it
stayed in Pittsburg.
Yesterday afternoon a DlSPATCn re
porter called at the company's general of
fices. Mr. Heistey, one of the managers
said: "It is true we now hold an option on
1,000 acres of land in the Monongahela Val
ley. I will not say now what we intend to
do. If we leave the Southside, about 6,000
men, boys and girls would be affected."
The factories that would be moved are
Eipley & Co., Ninth street; Adams & Co.,
Tenth and Sarah streets; Bryce Bros.,"Whar
ton and Twenty-first streets Doyle & Co.,
Tenth street; King Glass Company, Eight
eenth street, O'Hara Glass Company, Thir
tieth street; George Duncan & Sons.
Not Eager to Discuss the Matter.
A visit was paid to all these factories
yesterday afternoon, but none of the mana
gers could be found. Last night General
Manager Anderson, of United States Com
pany, was found. He protested ignorance
of the whole afiair and said nothing had
been said to him of the deal.
Mr. Anderson's son was seen at his home
on Stanton avenue. The young man is the
manager of the O'Hara Glass Company, one
of those affected. He said:
"There is a great probability of the fac
tories leaving the city. The move is brought
about by several important causes. One,
the most important, is that of high assess
ments. There are other factors, such as
fuel, but the taxes play a leading part.
"It would seem queer that an offer of
1,000 acres of ground, with gas, water and
taxes free for a period of eight or 10 years,
would not be accepted. I am not saving
positively that such an offer has been made.
I am not authorized to. Our factories
have much to contend with in Pittsburg,
which would not be met with if we were to
leave the city. I cannot state exactly how
much the seven factories-in Pittsburg are
assessed, but it is a safe estimate to place
them at $100,000 each.
An Item to Be Saved.
"Some of them I know will run higher
than that. To get out of paving high taxes
on at least $700,000 will be a big item." It
would only take 100 acres of the
ground for the factories This would
leave 900 acreo, which would be laid out in
lots and sold to the employes, who would
have to go with the factories. At the small
est estimate these lots would bring $300, a
piece.
Secretary Dillon, of the American Flint
Glass "Workers' Association', yesterday said:
"I am inclined to think there is a great
deal of truth in the story of fhe removal.
I have heard the principal reason
was the high rate of taxation. I can
See how the men can save by leav
ing Pittsburg. The company, too, would
save money. If the factories go they will
take at least 10,000 people with them.
There are in all fhe departments about
6,000 men, boys and girls employed. A
large number of the men are married so
that it wonld bring the number up, at the
least possible estimate, to 10,000.
Krports About Other Plants.
"I have been informed that several other
glass plants will leave Pittsburg as soon as
arrangements can be made. "Vhen the big
glass plants at Kensington start a heavy
draft of men will be taken out of the city.
I have been looking this up for some time,
and, as close as I can figure it, there will he
about 18,000 people leave Pittsburg this
spring.
"Aside from the glass plants, there are
several big iron manufacturers who are
talking of removing to somewhere outside
the city limits. The only reason assigned
is the high tax rate and the inability to get
fuel at proper prices."
PEICES WILL BE REDUCED.
Manufacturers Decide to Cat Prices on
Plate Gla About S Per Cent
Edward Ford returned last evening from
a meeting of plate glass manufacturers
which was held in New York. He said a
committee was appointed to make a
new classification, and they will not
be able to report for some
time. The discounts wi.ll not be
chanced, but in general prices will be re
duced from 5 to 7 per cent The Jobbers'
combination is coming around very gra
ciously after holding out against the'manu
facturers since last May. Mr. Ford sa'ys
the outlook is very gloomy. The jobbers
will commence to buy as soon as the new
rates are announced.
The tariff on plate jtlass is now 149 per
cent, and the middlemen claim that they
are at the mercy of the manufacturers. The
new classification will aim to give the large
jobbers aw advantage which they do not
possess at present The fight between the
makers and middlemen has been in progress
for nearly a year.
Not a Victory for the Men.
The difference between the nailers and the
Jefferson Iron Works at Steubenville, was
settled at a joint meeting yesterday, at
which, the company deferred notice of its
intended reduction in wages. This, ot
course, leaves the men in the uncomforta
ble position ot having 25 per cent reduction
forced down their throats at any time.
Fome New Delegates Admitted.
The Trades Assembly met last night but
the business was without interest. New
delegates were admitted from the German
Typographical Union No. 230, Brotherhood
of Carpenters and Union No. 4, Flint Glass
workers. '

THE DEANS HELD FOR COURT.
Besalt of a Hearing In the Emma Abbey
Cruelty Case A Dispute Among the
Various Humane Officials The Conflict
leg Testimony.
Frank Dean and his wife, Alice Dean,
were given a hearing before 'Squire Woel
ful, of Spring Garden borough, yesterday
afternoon on the charge of csnelty to Emma
Abbey, tbe waif who was in their charge.
The child is in the hospital, and will have
to have both her feet, which were frozen,
amputated. The whole borough is excited
over the affair, and the 'Squire's office was
crowded. Secretary Dorente, of the Anti
Crueltv Society, was present for the prose
cution and M. J. Dean, formerly Superin
tendent of the Anti-Cruelty Socity, and who
placed the child with the defendants, and
Agent O'Brien, of the Humane Society,were
present to testify in behalf of the defend
anK Frank Dean, one of the defendants, testi
fied that the girl ran away on Wednesday.
That night and the following day he went
to a derrick nearby to which she had gone
before, but that was all the search he made.
He said he notified the Humane Society.
Agent O'Brien said he found a note from
him on the following Monday, but did not
know when it was left at the office. Dean
said he had told no one in the borongh of
the matter, though he had seen plenty of
people. He admitted that when the girl
was found he did not offer to take her home
or procure a doctor.
Mrs. Dean, in the course of her testi
mony, said that the first day she had the
girl she whipped her. She had also thrown
water on her for telling lies and threatened
to pnt her in a tub and scrub her with a
scrubbing brush. The girl had ran away on
a number of occasion when told she was to
be puuished. Mr. Dean, on re-examination,
admitted that he had been told by Secretary
Dorente, of the Anti-Cruelty Society, and
by 'Squire Woelful, to leave the girl at the
office of the society, if she ran away. He
had kept the girl'to help his wife until he
could get another girl.
Agent O'Brien, of the Humane Society,
testified that he had investigated the charge
of cruelty against the Deans and found no
canse for complaint. He said he had been
told that the Anti-Cruelty.Society had re
fused to take her and he offered to take her,
but she did not want to go and denied that
she had been treated cruelly. M. J. Dean,
formerly Superintendent of the Anti
Cruelty Society, testified that he had given
the girl to Mrs. Frank Dean. He hadnever
seen or heard of her afterward until the
notice of the finding of her under the porch
was published. He said she was bad and
untruthful and had ran away from others
with whom he had placed her before.
Attorney Lightenheld, tor the Deans,
made a strong plea for theirdischarge.claim
ing the girl was not indentured to them and
therefore they were not responsible for the
fate which befell her.
Secretary Dorente said that if the girl
died, either from pneumonia contracted
while she was under the porch of Burgess
Musig, or from the amputation of her frozen
feet, the case would become one for coron
ial action.
'Squire Woelful said he would not take
the responsibility of summarily decidiug
the case, and held Dean for court in $500
bail and Mrs. Dean ia $300 bail. Dean,
however, could not get the amount of bail
and as, if he went to jail, Mrs. Dean and
her child would be left without support,
and as" she is now crippled and on crutches,
Secretary Dorente sugsested Dean's bail be
made J300 and that Mrs. Dean be allowed
to go on her own recognizances. This was
done and Dean secured the bail.

Our shipping trade had far outgrown
the capacity of our Shipping Depart

Pittsburg stores, where we could have

Our orders kept coming in faster
than we could send them out. So
the "catching up" was not a success.
We made a break this week and are

We hope our friends will bear with
