Applause from the lobby. As to the purchase of&ddltlonal Browrtv. Chief Bigelow baS no rip lit to tako optlonson land and then expect ihe city to accept the bargain lie has made. At the conclusion of Mr. Ferguson's re maiks the spectators persisted In applaud irg. and the Chair bad considerable difficulty restoring order. Mr. MacGoniglc In spite of the eloquent efforts of uiy colleague, the people -will get the -worst ot this day's transaction. A vote was then taken on Mr. ritgham'3 anrendmeut. It was defeated 6 to It. Against a L.:r.d Purchase. Mr. 0Donncll moved to strike ont the $75,000 for the purchase of additional land lor Highland Park. This was lost by a vote of27to!5.

This was lost by a vote ofMtolS. Mr. Uussell moved to strike ont the entire appropriation lor parks. This was lost by a vote ot S2 to 9. Mr. Wilson moved to make the amount $200,000. Mr. O'Donnell There should be some com promise. Certain members are lieie to vote lor everything the heads of department1 want. In fact, it appears a thongh they are pledged to do so. Such a state ot affairs is very humiliating to those who stand up lor w hat they think is right. When Mr. Taggart's name was reached on the vote he announced that lie had intended voting for the amendment, but the remarks of Mr. O'Donnell had changed his position. Mr. O'Donnell Do vou mean because I called attention to voiir instructions? llefore Mr. Taggart could reply the Chair rapped for order. Mr. MacGonicle moved to make the sum $250,000 and this was lost by a vote of 27 to 14. A Plea for Snyder rarJt Mr. Ferguson I move to take $32,000 from the Schenlej' Park appropriation and pivo it to Snyder Park. "Little dog Snyder" should be cared for. This motion was lost. Mr. Ferguson m&do one more attempt to have the sum cut down Ito $125 000, but his motion was defeated. Mr. Magee then moved that the appropria tion of $307,000 be approved and this motion was carried bv a ote of 27 to U. Tho vote stood as follows: Ayes Messrs. Anglock, Brown, Crawford, .Donley. Dalaney, Dunn, Elliott, Eilzman, Fox. GallHghcr, Gn ctzinger, Hagniaicr, Johnston. Keliy, Kintr, iowry, Magee. Mason, McCarthv. McClure.

Mr. Ferguson I move the item of $65,000 forti bridge across tho Pennsylvania Kail road at Ben Venue stricken off. It Is not needed, and the bridge would only be built lor a street railway company, a tceder for certain other roads. I brand it here publicly as a scheme. Mr. Ferguson's motion was lost. On; Ivick Abont a rnc. Mr. McEldowney wanted $1,000 appropri ated for a fence along Bnthland street in the Thirteenth ward, but Mr. Magee said tho item had been provided for, although not specifically stated in the ordinance. Mr. JIcKldowney thought it onght to be item ized, but if the Chairman of the Finance Committee would say it was provided lor ho would be satisfied. Mr. Wright offered a motion providing that the business tax be placed the snme as i.i"-i year xne motion, alter some dis cussion was lost. Mr Ferguson wanted an appropriation of $15,000 lor Penn avenue, between Forty-fifth and Forty-ninth streets, transferred to But ler "treet, between the same streets, but ho was dl-anpointed. On the second reading the ordinance parsed by a vote of 30 to 9, and on final pass age the vote was as lollow s: Aves Messrs. Angloch, Brown, Crawford, Donlev. Delanev.

It was a;ter6o'clock when the Common Branch adjourned. JDST LIKE COMMON. The Select Branch Fi;hts Over tho Ordi nance for More Than Tiro Ilours, and Tasics It Unchanged Another TYordy Battle on the High-Tax Question. Select Council got together at 7:45 in the evening. As in the Common Branch there was considerable opposition to the appro priation ordinance, but there was the same solid front of votes against the amendment of even a letter of the bill President Ford read the ordinance, and the discussion opened. Mr. Gillespie The increased taxation and tbe depressed state of the iron business have been the headlines in the newspapers for several weeks. This is serious business, and the ordinance should not be gone through hurriedly, but item by item. If it were our own business we would be more carerul and economical. I believe inprogres sion, bnt do not bslieve extravagance ii progression. Consider tho high prices mid small quantity ot natural gas. If our industry, iron, is in u state cf depression, the merchants and work men will also be affected. It has been said that no firm is going to remove its work- Irom the city on account of an extra mill or two of taxes. But they have before them the example of Wiltnerding. Kensing ton, Charlcroiand other towns making them offers to go. The Increase in Taxation. Continuing, Mr Gillespie cited the case of one man whose factory had been assessed 25 per cent higher this year and his home 12 5 per cent, and said the people were in no mood for excessive appropriations. He was opposed to the ordinance in its present shape, objecting to the park appro; priation and the item for the Ben Venue bridge. In the park matter he thought $100,000 would be sufficient for improvements. .Nature had been lavish :md siiould be allowed to do something Urn arc improving It. He did not believe in taking onc-tcuth of the tax levied for park purposes. As to the item of $55,000 for a bridge over the Pennsylvania Railroad at Ben Venue, lie wanted to know if it was to enable the people of Bloomfield to get to Schenley Paik. He wanted the leading highways impioved before the cross streets. Mr. Warmcastle heie moved that they take up theordlnanceseriatum. His motion whs adopted, and at the first item Mr. Warmcastle said ho would like to atk Mr. Keating, as a member of the Finance Com mittee, what tho gro-s valuation of the city would be The ordinance was baed on an estimate of $20,000 0C0, but he would like to know, ifpo-sible. the actual valuation. Mr. Keating The lull assessment would lie about $:CS,000,0C0. The Fourteenth, Twentieth and Twenty-second wards, how ever, have not been lully completed and classified, but if they are the same as last year, and allowing for valuations by classifications, etc.. the figures will hoover S23l.O00.O0O. If the assessors be sustained In their position in the classification it will be in excess of that amount, bnt how much no man knows. We have taken $210,000,000 as a sate basis for estimating. The Percentage of Increase. Continuing, Mr. Keating said he had pre pared a table showing the percentage of in crease in the assessments in all tho wards. He defended the assessors in increasing the assessments, referring to increasing values, und said thev had been equitable The peo ple themselves, ne sam, uiucreo. wiueiy ou the question of the value of u piece of prop erty. He then lead tho following table, showing tho percentage of increase in each w aid: First ward, 30 per cent; Second ward. 6 3-10 percent; Third ward, W per cent; Fourth ward, 29 per cent; Filth ward, 41 8-10 percent; Sixth ward, 15 pcrrcent; Seventh ward, 13 per cent; Eighth ward, 10 "r cent: Xinth ward, IS per cent: Tenth w !, 12 per cent; Eleventh ward, 17 per cent; ..welttb ward, First district, 6 4-10 per cent; Second district, 9 per cent: Thirteenth ward, 55 per cent; Fourteenth ward, 22 per cent; Fifteenth ward, 13 per cent; Sixteenth ward, 14 per rent: Seventeenth ward, 9 per cent; Eight eenth ward, 13 per cent; Nineteenth ward, 33 per cent: Twentieth ward, 50 per cent; Twenty-first ward. First district, 2 per cent; Second district, 52 per cent; Twenty-second ward. First district, 71 per cent; Scco-d district, 20 per cent; Twenty third ward, 44 percent: Twentv-fonrth ward, 16 per cent; Twenty-Fifth wald, 32 per cent; Twenty-sixth ward, 20 per cent; Twenty seventh ward, 7 7-10 por cent; Twenty-eigliui ward, 20 per cent; Twentv-ninth ward. 25 per cent; Thirtieth ward. 2l"per cent; THirty flrst ward, 47 per cent: Thirty-second ward, 59 per cent; Thirty-third ward, decrease of 7 per cent; Thlrty-fonrth ward, increase of 12 per cent; Thirty-fifth ward, 31 per cent; Thirty-sixth ward, 18 per cent. Mr. Keating I wish to call attention to tho fact that tho tax had been decreased 20 per cent andin waids when the valuation has not been Increased more than that per cent, that ward is not paving one cent more into the City Treasury. This Is the case in all of the wards alter the Fifth until the East End wards are reached, excepting the Thirteenth. Iron manufacturers are not moving out of the city because the city is raising $1S0,C00 more this year by taxation. Some of the firms cited went because thev were enabled to make money in land speculation. Another, the Westinghouss Air Brake Company is sony it has gone. As to the appropriation, not one cent comes from the propertv holders direct. The city is getting $320,000 more this year from liquor licenses, and it is like money lound and could not be used for a better purpose. If I could cast tho whole vote 1 would appropri ate $507,000 for paiks instead ot $307,000. A Comparison TTitli Chicago. Dr. Evans The gentleman from the Twentieth ward talks so easy he would have us think tho peoole have no burden to bear. Five million dollars is a mere bagatello and the piiople are not taxed at all. I have here a table showing that Chicago, though mora than four times the size of Pittsburg in area and population, last year did not ap propriate any inoro lor government than Pittsburg is doing this year. I main tain that manutacturers are leaving here and that no industries are coming. The taxation is burdensome, but I don't in tend to attempt to change one item in this ordinance because I know that it is the in tention hero to pass it without tbe dotting of an "i" or the crossingot a "t." Mr. Keatimr The statement about Chi cago's appropriation Is not correct and it is impossible. Mr. Gillespie Mr. Keating would make in believe black is white, but I want to say that the Westlnghouse concern docs not want to return to Pittsburg. Dr. Evnns Pittsburg's taxes have in creased 200 per cent in ten years. That is far more than its population has inci eased, and it is not warranted. School expenses have onlyiucicased 30 per cent and the poor tax but 6 or 7 per cent. This plainly shows that the Increase Is in other departments. Mr. "Warmcastle The money leceived from liquor licenses, or any other outside source, should not be expended on parks, but used to reduce the burden of taxation on the people. It is bad policy to go on in creasing tho expenditures. When the valu ation was increased 30 per cent, together with the money received from oulsido sources, tbe mlllage should be reduced 60 per cent. It would be easy to reduce the parks and Ben Venne bridge appropria ions and make the mlllage at least '11 mills or may be 10. Where TVarmcastlo Wanted a Cut. This concluded the general discussion, and tho reading bf tho ordinance was resumed. When tho item of $473,903 for water supply and distribution was reached. Mr. Warm castle moved to cut it down $75,001 He said that much was for a site for a new reservoir, and it could be dispensed with, as they still have the old Brilliant site which had been abandoned betore the reservoir was com pleted. Dr. Evans concurred with him, but Mr. Keating.argned it was necessary to aid tho other reservoirs and relieve the water works machinery. He said that only a few weeks ago the Highland reservoir had been reduced to two feet of w ater owing to ico in the pipes, and there was danger of a water famine. In a few years, anyhow, they would have to get new water woiks ma chinery, and they should do it gradually and so not have to issue bonds for it. Mr. Warmcastle It will be safe and a mat ter of economy to postpone the matter lor a year, and get engineers to see if the Bril liant Hill site would not answer. The motion to leduce the appropriation wn s lost. The next item objected to was that of $307,000 for parks. Sir. Gillespie moved to ma kc the amount $175,000; $75,000 lor laud and $100,000 tor improvements. Dr. Evans called for the nyes and noes, and the motion was lost by 25 noes to 6 ayes. An Appeal for Information Mr. Warmcastle next wanted information on the' item of $100,000 tor assessments against the city for improvements. Mr Keating The city already has $6S,000 to pay out by reason of improvements and it is tho amounts assessed against the city where the property benefited did not pay the whole amount. Mr. Warmcastle There should be somo wav to protect the city against the Boards of Viewers Mr. Keating agreed with him, but said the citv seemed to be every bodyls bird to pluck. It was a matter that should be watched or they would be charged with spending money they had nothing to do with. The next motion was made by Mr. Binder to strike out tho item of $65,C00 for the Ben Venuo bridge, and was supported bv Dr. Evans, who said it was an absurdity, but the motion was lost. Mr. Benz next moved to increase the ap pioprlatlon fom southside market house, Iroin $33,000 to $45,000, saying it would be needed to complete the woik. Mr. Keating thought $25,000 would be enough, but Mr. Blselow had figured it at $35,UC0 and that had been inserted. The mo tion was lost. The last effort to change was a motion by Mr. Binder who moved to strike out the item of $3,030 for the Greenfield avenue board walk. The motion was lost. The ordinance as h whole was then passed finally by a vote of 23 ayes and 4 nays. The ayes were Messrs. Anderson, Benz, Brophv, Cavenangh, Collins, Doyle, C Evans, D. P. Evans, Foster, Henderson, Jones, Keating, King, Matthews, Miller, Murphy. McCord, McCurry.McKinloy.Perrv, Iteilly, Bobertson, Rohrkaste, Treusch, Warmcastle, Warren, Williams and President Ford. Nays Binder, Brauu, Gillespie and Paul. The Mayor Will Sign It. Mayor Gourley will probably sign the ap propriation ordinance without delay. When asked his opinion of It yesterday, bo said: "Taken as a whole it is a very fair bill, though 1 think it would have been wise to have shaved down the park and street re pnving appropriations sufficiently to have made an 11-inill tax. That could have been done without inconvenience and would have mace the tax just the same as it was last year. A 12-mill tax this vear Is equivalent to a16-mill rate on the $180,000,000 valuation ot last vear. and is, therefore, practically one mill of an increase. Tbe best feature of the levy, in connection with the increased valuation, is that it falls lighter on the smallholder. It is the own ers of largo tracts of land who will feel it most. Any man whose property valuation' has not been increased wJU'bViteniflted. As to signing the ordinance, I wlU'Wa'it nntil I find whether there Is a. large opposition to it or not before I finally decide, though I feel rather iavorable to it now." Charles F. McKenna Betore the Kandalites. Tho illustrated lecture at the Randall Club delivered by Charles F. McKeuna last night was a big success. Mr. McKenna kept the large audience m a good humor for over two hours, and the members votect It to be one of the most pleasant entertainments, ever ziven by the club. The Russell Mandolin Quartet gave a number oi beautiful selec tions. The trustees pioposo to have, if Sossible, an "Irish night" on St. Patrick's ay. A Temporary Iron and Steel Kate. The Freight Committee of the Central Traffic Association, which has been in ses sion in Chicago several days, has completed Its labors and adjourned. Among other matters that weie disposed of was tbe es tablishment of a rate on manufactured iron and steel articles between all points in the territorv of the association on ' e basis of 17 cents per 100 pounds, Plttsou.-g to Chi cago, to take effect March 2S, but not to ex tend beyond September CO. Assaulted Ills Wlfo With Hot Water. Frank Casica, an Italian, was arrested yes terday afternoon by Officer Hanley and lodged In the Fourteenth ward station on a charge of disorderly conduct. It is alleged by the officer that Casica came home yester day afternoon in a drunken condition" und began to abuse his wife. He threw a pan of hot water in her face, burning her in a ter rible manner. He will be given a hearing this afternoon. 1TEKS OF INDUSTEIAL IHTEBEST. Thk Sterling Steel Company, McKeesport, is expending $65,000 on additional shops. The Manchester strike was officially de clared off by Master Workman Dempscy, of the K. ot L., yesterday morning. Umox puddlers are satisfied that there will be po attempt to reduce their wages be fore July, when tho Amalgamated scale runs gut. The salesmen and salesladies of 4907 K. of L. organized a beneficial society last night, when temporary officers were elected. The organization will be completed at Sailer's Hall next Thursday night and a charter will be applied for.

HELD FOBTCBJOHy, Chief Law and Order Inform er McClure Under. $1,000" Bail to" Await THE GBAND JUKY'S ACTION. Major A. M. Brown Teaches Attor ney Yost Some Points in law. 'SQUIEE REILLY IS K0T A EOHE Th Objections Entered by the 1794 Be former Not Sustained, LIYELT FEATURES OF THE HEARING Agent McClure, the highest official in the Law and Order detective force, was yesterday held by Alderman Eeilly in. S1.000 bail for trial in court on a charge of perjurv. The defense went into a hearing, but presented no defense whatever, 'except a few disconnected re marks by Attorney Yost The prosecutor was not even placed on tbe stand to be cross examined. The hearing was short, and interest ing only on account of a lively tilt between Major A. M. Brown and Attorney Yost, in which the latter learned very distinctly that he wasn't practicing in Alderman Rone's court. The legal skirmish kept spectators in a constant uproar, and when it reached its height the Law and Order attorney's face was as white as last night's snow. The crowd that gath ered at the Alderman's office came early, and long before the hearing commenced it was evident that Law and Order stock was away down. The Detectives Were All There. "With the exception of the full force of Law and Order detectives the spectators were intelligent looking men, many of whom stated they had come for no other purpose than to see the person who would consent to carrying out the schemes of the Law and Order triumvirate. They didn't have long to wait. McClure, dressed in his best suit of clothes, came in shortly before 3 o'clock and greeted his .acquaint ances with a ''how da" Mr. Houston ac companied him, but from the time he entered the office until he went out his voice was not heard. Yost joined his brethren in reform about ten minutes after the time the hearing should have been com menced. The three entered the rear office together, and ior a couple of minutes stood "we three together" like a row of school bors waiting an edict from the teacher. Before the hearing commenced attention was about equally divided between the three men who have succeeded in making themselves known beyond their own circle and the half-dozen Law and Order detectives who were evidently present under McCIure's direction for some specific purpose. It wasn't necessary to point them out They could be distinguished from ordinary mortals by many characteristics and were recognized by all present. A Legal Surprise for Tost. When both sides indicated their readiness to go on with the hearing, the Alderman handed the information to Major Brown. The latter read it carefully and said: "We rest our case on the information.' A minute's silence followed. Attorney Yost was nonplussed. His practice has been confined principally to cases befoie Law and Older Aldermen, where a point raised by him Is the same as a ruling. "We want a hearing," he said, with a little less than his usual amount of bluff. "Our case is in: we rest on the informa tion," answered Major Brown. You can put in vour defense." "Will you rest on the information when the case comes up in court?" asked Mr. Yost, with an unsuccessful effoit to smile. "The question is- piemature," answered Mr. Bron n. "Then you have no witnesses vou drop the case,'' said Mr. Yost getting a little bit more angry with each question. "We will produce witnesses when it is necessary. The information is enough to hold the defendant lor conrt, and that is all an Alderman can do. You have pleaded not guilty, now go ahead and destroy the'Vvl denco we present in the information," was jur. urown's reply. "Well if we can't have a hearing, Bob, you're done for," said Yost, addressing the accused Law and Order agent Wanted the Spectators .Ejected. "You can havo a hearing, go ahead," inter posed the Alderman, but Yost would do nothing but talk. He got angry, then pale and finally demanded that two spectators who- were standing near him be ejected. One of the men was "Milk Shake" Martin whose fight a lew years with the Law and Order Society attracted the attention of the whole community. Mr. Martin insisted on congratulating Mr. Yost on his fine legal qualities, but the latter thought it was sarcasm. The Alderman told Mr. Martin he would have to keep quiet or go out, so ho kept quiet. 4 When the difficulty between tho two men had been settled the Alderman asked Mr. Yost if he had no defence to offer. No satis factory answer could be secured, and Mc Clure was held in $1,000 ball. He and Mr. Houston signed the bail bond. The former in writing his namo Introduced a new rule in "Euglish as she is wrote," by separating Bobert and McClure with a great big comma. Even after tho case was settled Mr. Yost continued grumbling. He found fault with the Alderman's record, with the Alderman himself, with tbe remarks of the spectators and everything else that he could think of. A Difference' in tho Conrts. "Ton are not practicing in Robe's court," remarked Major Brown. "You can't do as you please here.' "Robe's all right," said Yost. "Of course," answered Major Brown. "Up theie you tell the magistrate how to rulo and he always does as you ask. On two dif ferent occasions when I appeared in Law uud Order cases the Alderman ruled one way then you ruled another way'aud the Alderman icversed himself." Yost attempted to defend his protege Alderman, bnt It couldn't be done satis factorily, so he quit and again commenced finding fault with Alderman Rellly. Ho wanted it placed on the record that he had been refused a hearing. The Alderman, of course, would not do so, and finally shut off all Inrther talk by saying that his record would staud as it was, and ho was not afraid of it. . Among those at the hearing was J. M. Sharpe, the prosecutor, jind several wit nesses who will give testimony in court The case will be pushed as rapidly as possi ble and probably come up before the present grand jurv. In speaking of the proceedings after the hearing, Major Brown said it was not unus ual lor the prosecution to stand on the In formation. The defense, .he said, could cross-examine the prosecutor and cull what ever other witnesses they had. Her Furniture Was Thrown Oat A woman named Johnson complained to Alderman Braun, of Allegheny, yesterday, that on Monday night she was ejected from the place where she had a room and that her personal effects were also placed out on the pavement. She said she had been stay ing at Mrs. Parke's house, on Bueua Vista street, and became in arrears for a little rent. Without any notification, she said, Mrs. Parke put her goods out and then or dered her to leave. She had no money and had to remain on the street Wednesday night. Alderman Braun referred her to the Department of Charities and slio was there provided ior. She is a widow, about 50 years old and does washing for a living. A Prisoner With a Broken Leg. Patrick Lally, a rlverman, was arrested at Grant s tree t and Sixth avenue last jilgh t and sent to Central station on a charge of drunkenness. At the station It was dis covered Lally was suffering from a broken leg, but Just how it came to be broken the prisoner refused to state. Dr. Moyer was called, and, after reducing. the fracture, had the patient removed to the Eomeopathio Hospital. PARADE PREPARATIONS. Every Indication That Next Week's South side Event Will Be a Big One Fifty So cieties Will Participate Features or the Affair. Arrangements are completed lor the pa rade on the Southside next Monday in con nection with, the dedication of the new Turner Hall on South Thirteenth street The indications are that it will be one pf the largest parades of the kind held in this city lor years. Headquarters of the Chief Marshal, C. E. Succop, have been es tablished at the Birmingham Turner Hall, and yesterday he issued his or ders for tbe parade. The lino will form at 1:C0 and movo promptly at 2 o'clock, out the following route.

Developments in License Court Matters Ex pected Within the Next Few Days. Only two remonstrances have been filed against liquor license applicants so lar. One is against Mrs. Heukle,of Allegheny, and tho Elbourne Hotel. Sandusky street.Allcgheny. The surface indications are that the re monstrances will be lew and far between, but from outside sources it was learned yesterdav that a number are in soak for some of the more prominent dealers who have never had any trouble before. The status of the License Court is about tho same as before published, save that a new ruling of some kind is expected in a few davs. When Clerk of Courts MoGonnegle was seen yesterday he said: "There are only two remonstrances In now, but the people may be saving up nntll the last day. Other yeais there havo been many in quiries as to material forremonstranens, but this year theio have not been any. I do not know whether this is a sign that lemon strances will bo scarce. I wish to particu larly state, however, that all petitions as well as remonstrances against licenses must be filed by the 17th of this month." A REMAKKABLE ESCAPE. - An Unknown Jumps From a Bridge to an Incllno Car. A remarkable escape from death ocenrred on the Southside on Wednesday night. An unknown man was walking on the Pan handle track, and while crossing tho short bridge Just over the lower station of the Castle Shannon Incline a shifting engine ap proached at a rapid rate. The track walker was taken unaware?, and in his hurry to escape did not notico that ho was on a bridge. In jumping hurriedly to one side he lost his looting and fell. Just at that mo ment the incline car landed, and ho fell on the roof of the car. The conductor, heating tho noise, looked up and was surprised to see the face of a man peeping over tho edge of tho car, and nnxiously inquiring how to get down. In tho meantime the ci ew of the shifter had arrived on the scene, expecting to find tne mangled remains of tho unknown, but wei e overjoyed to llnd him tnlking complacently with the conductor, trying to explain how he came to be in such a picdicument. Adjutant Genera Greenland Here.' Adjutant General Greenland was in Pittn-bm-g for a short time yesterday. He stopped at the Seventh Avenue Hotel, but spent most of his time at the Duquesne Club. General Giccnland says he con templates no changes in the man agement of his office, which he says was skillfully managed by thelate General McClelland. He has not, he says, gotten familiar with the duties of his new position, but his long experience in the guard ho believes will enable htm to grasp the work readily. The rst general order was issued f rom 'Hari-isbnrg last night, com missioning Brigadier General John A. Wiley: Major Chailcs Miller. Assistant Ad jutant General: Major Frank K. Patterson, Inspector: Major Albert Johnson Logan, Qnaitermaster; Major Jnmes E. Sllllman, Surgeon; Major Samuel Hnztcll, Ordnance officer; Captain George C.

Mr. McMorlev wanted the Inspector to go to Biaddock and arrest them. The Inspector explained that it was out of the city limits and he would have to get the Braddock police to make the arrest. Mr. McMorley left for Braddock for that purpose. Ills Supper Did Not Snit Him.

Forner's Argument in Payor of a Sural Classification. EET1SI0NS IS TEE NIXETEEXTH WAKD The revision of the assessment valuations in the Nineteenth ward was completed yes terday and the assessors expect to finish up the Fourteenth and Twenty-second wards within another week. The assessors are still receiving many complaints against the new classification rule, and, if all the prop erty holders go into court on their valua tions who have said they would, the assess ors may as well decide to spend the major part of their time in the Court House ior the next six months. Prof. I. If. Forner, who owns an acre tract on Boqust street, Fourteenth ward, was one ot the complainants yesterday. He called to notify the assessors that he ex pected a rural classification for his property because, as he interpreted the law, it was intended that only a single lot upon which a house isbuilt, and which is used entirely . in connection with the house, is built-up property. His property is occupied by a residence, and though it faces a paved street the opposite side of the street is a cow pas ture, and in the. rear it is bounded by a rough, untillanle waste ot hillside. Arguing for a Rural Classification. "It is not reasonable," he said, "to im agine that the law ever contemplated such property as built-up city "property. It is rural in respect to location, because no sane man would designate that section of the city as anything but rural under any defini tion of the term. If our Assessors insist on enforcing their rule there is no doubt in my mind but that any person owning prop- erty similar to mine can have it classified as rural if he appeals to the courts. That is what I propose to do, if necessary." The cuts made by the board in their revis ion of tbe Nineteenth ward are as follows: On Broad street, between Euclid and Beitty streets, on the right side, Ho foot depths are reduced to $05 per front foot; on the leftside. 1S7 foot depths are reduced to $75, and smaller depths in proportion.

Tbe taking of an aged valetudinarian named Robinson from Fayettevllle to the County Poor Farm on Wednesday greatly roused the ire of some of the railroad men, or, strictly speaking, the manner ot his sett ing out. They say that he was transported on an old straw tick so rotten that when Montour Junction was reached and tho transfer made to the Pittsburg and Lake Erie Railway the tick gave way almost in every fiber, leaving the sick man on, the bare plank. ASSAULTED HI8 DAUGHTZB. The Charge for Which James Klegan Is Nott In Jail. James Keegan, an employe of Carnegie's mills, was committed to Jail by Alderman McNeirney for a hearing on Monday on a charge of assault on his 12-year-old daughter Annie.

Sho stated that last week Keegan had abused her so that she was compelled to seek the protection of her uncle, leaving her two children.aged 12 and 18 years respect ively, to look after tbe house. The elder daughter was afraid of her father and hid down stairs. On Tuesday night Keegan came borne and went to the room where little Annie was sleeping and picked her up and carried her into an adjoining room. The child screamed and struggled, but her un natural father silenced her by threatening to kill her. The child told her sister, who went to her mother. Mrs. Keegan went be fore Alderman McNeirney and made the in formation and the warrant was placed in the hands of Constable .Heckle, who suc ceeded in locating his man about 4 o'clock yesterday morning, and after quite a strug gle landed him before the Alderman, who immediately remanded him to jail.

Miller, the newly appointed Collector of Internal Revenue, yesterday visited his new office. He has not yet re ceived official notice of his appointment.

There are about 200 appointments in his office, and by mail, mes senger and personal appeal yesterday he re ceived applications for more offices than he will have at his disposal. Collector Miller says he will make some changes in the working force of the department, but he also says he has not made a pledge or prom ise to anyone. The fight for Mr. Miller's place as Superin tendent of Water Assessments, became de cidedly lively yesterday. It was reported that ex-Mayor McCallin would likely be named for the place, although a couple of the other candidates aro making a lively battle for the position. How a Baby -Was Abandoned. Mrs. Hemy Weyman reported to the Anti Cruelty Society yesterday the peculiar method adopted by an unknown woman to get rid of an inconvenient offspring. Mrs. Weyman lives at So. 102 Gerst's alley, Alle-ghenj-. She states that on April 25 last a car riage drove iid to her door and a tylisfily dressed lady alighted. She called Mrs. Wev man for a drink ot water, and, after receiv ing it, thanked her kindly and asked if Mrs. Weyman would care'for her babe for an hour or so, as sho vlshed to do some shop ping. Her manner was so polite and kind that Mrs. Weyman felt gratified to be able to perform a service for her, nnd the child, a well-dressed, pretty little thing, was car ried from the carriage to the house. The lady kissed her babe nn affectionate goodby and, requesting Mrs. Weyman to take good care ot it, drove away. She hasn't been seen since. Mrs. Weyman feels that she is unable to care for the little one any longer, and the Anti-Cruelty Society will find a home for it A Kemarkable Case of Destitution.

Senator William Flinn with his little daughter left last night in a special car for Florida. The Senator said ho was going South for the health of his daughter.

Bisque of Beef herbs and aromatics, the best and pureit of all appetizers; A WILD MAKCH WIND, Brisk Falls of Snow and Slippery Walks Give Notice That SPBING IS HAEDLI HERE YET. All Kinds of Weather Furnished by the Department Testerdaj; THE OUTLOOK FOE THE NEAR FUTURE It snowed in "Lunnon" yesterday, and of course it had to follow suit in Canada, and the measley Kannuck celebration extended clear down into Pennsylvania, and that is why Pittsburgers growled at the weather. There was no talk of annexing Canada to prevent any further harmful English imi tations, but the people almost forgot for the time to discuss high taxes and increased valuations. Another explanation was that as March had come in as a lion and wonld go out like a lamb, this was only the meta morphosis and the fur was flying. Pittsburg was served yesterday with about the most trorblesome weather of the winter. It was bad in the morning, fair in the afternoon and last evening it blew a gale, carrying with it swinging signs, loose hats and anything else movable. The storm comes from the Northwest, and is promised to extend over to-day with clearer weather for Saturday, and it is hoped that by Sun day the ,air will assume a spring bonnet temperature. Looking at the Bright Side. Notwithstanding the present discomforts, the wiseacres and barnyard prophets have adjusted their spectacles and declare they see the hand of Providence in the storm. They declare this cold snap will seal np the buds and preserve the iruit crop. The weather opened up bright and early yesterday morning with a thermometer in the thirty-third degree and a howling snow storm at 6:30 o'clock. From then until 11 o'clock the snow and the sun fought for the supremacy. The sun was out and bv 11:30 most of tbe snow had disappeared, and so it took a second whirl from 11:45 nntll 12. Thon the sun bioke out again. The .thermom eter stood at 30. At 2 o'clock it reached 32", but there was no more snow until 3:15, when another ad vance guard of the storm reached here and some or the clouds got slightly torn. After this squall tbe merrury dropped to 27 and all was quiet until 5:45, when a regular blizzard reached the city and sent every thing living- For the sake of company tho snow fell in large quantities. Tho wind started in at the rate of 20 miles an hour, which rapidly increased to 28 miles. The street scenes were something out of theordinarv. The snow was blinding and while a great deal wns falling it had the ap pearance of mnch more, because what fell was almost immediately scooped np and whirled about in the air. A few peopio were blown off their feet. The weather was so stormy that people who had to only go a few squares took the street cars. A Good Wind for Some. The result was that the traction roads reaped a rich harvest It was impossible to find even standing room on a Filth avenuo car after it left Smithfield street. The snow was soft and the pavements became covered with ice almost as soon at ic fell. Every steep grade was, therefore, the scene of dis astrous and brilliant displays of hosiery. Out Fifth avenuo a pleasant-faced old lady suddenly seated herself on the pave ment and a dozen fresh eggs which she bad been carrying home. The streets were full of such scenes,"but no serious damage was done. A number of signs were missing, and some fences were reported down through the country. From an interview at the Signal Service Offico last night it- was learned that the temperature, which at 3 o'clock had dropped to 1S, would fall to 12 by day light. There is more snow promised for to-day with a prospect of clear weather for Saturday, but nothing was known as to the temperature. At 8 o'clock the wind was still doing 20 miles an hour with indications thatic might be higher during the night. The operator explained the unusual velocity of the wind by saying that tho path of the storm was slightly kite-sbaped. The snow fall in the mountains was reported very heavy, and a lew days of warm weather would cause very high water. Thomas Sheldon, an old man. was found lying in a stupor and almost Irozen to death on Overhill street late last night. Officer Tettleyhad him removed to the Eleventh ward station, aud Sergeant Myers, after an hour's hard work, brought him back to con sciousness. He could give no account of himself.
