CLEfas OTEEBUKDENED BY THE WOKE The last day for filing license papers Tvas a busy one at the Clerk of Court's offices lleaioiistrances, and commendatory peti tions to offset them, kept rolling in all day, and besides those filing them there was a crowd uresent composed of saloonkeepers and their attorneys anxious to learn if any of the dreaded documents were entered against them. True to prediction, Agent McClure and Attorneys Price and Christy turned in a stock of remonstrances, but, ex cept id the case of Christy, the lists were not as large as had been expected. 5Ir. Christy filed a few early in the day against Harrison township parties. vYhen doing so he asked Clerk of Courts JIcGonnigle to keep his office open last night, as he had a large number of others to file. 3Ir. 3IeGunmgle and his assistant, fionrrr. TrentMi ronnineH it the nfKee nntil Ocorge lreusch, remained at the omce until y o ciocK last mgut anu were auoui loieave, when Jlr. Christy entered with a bundle of 450 remonstrances. JIcGunnigle and Treusch were staggered. 2Cot one of the pa pers were numbered or properly indorsed, and as they are against old and new appli cants all over the two cities and some from outside, the work of arranging them in time for the opening of the License Court on Monday would lorni a prodigious task. Christv Promises Another Batch. 3Ir. McGunnigle at first declined to at tempt it. saving it should he legally done on or before the 17th, aud he thought the "ourt would not accept the papers unless roperly indorsed. Mr. Christy compro .ised by an agreement to furnish clerks to- ay to arrange, number and finish the apers. He declares his intention of going nto court to-day aud asking for an exten sion of the time for several days, as he says ,ie has many more to -file, but they are not 511ed out. He had worked, he said, for 48 hours without rest and little time to eat in order to get those turned in last night ready for filing. A laige number of those filed by Mr. Christyare of a general character and sim ply allege that no necessity exists for saloons where the application is made for.

As on the previous day a number ot personal letters to the Court wcie tiled with the other papers and in one of two of them some im portant information is imparted. The im pression about the Court House is that no matter how liberal may be the intentions of the Court, the points made by many of the remonstrants will certainly have their effect.

IL Dahbs and Wire and a Boy Ped dler Seriously Hurt A Carload of Peo ple Jump to Avoid Iijary A Sweeper Damaged. B. L. H. Dabbs, the well-known photog rapher, was seriously hurt in a street car collision at South Highland and Ellsworth avenues about 7:30 o'clock last night. Mrs. Dabbs was bruised considerably and John Vickroy, a boy peddler, was badly injured. The accident was a peculiar and serious one and was followed by another collision, in which a street car and a snow scraper were wrecked and a carload of people were compelled to jump hastily from the car for safety. At the time of the first accident sweeper No. 2, of the Duquesne traction line, was on its way to the city in charge 01 Motor man John Carr. As it reached South High land and Ellsworth avenues, car No. 5, of the Pittsburg traction, also coming to the city, came up with Gripman J. Frail in the cab. Officer Tomer, who is ou duty at the corner, gave the signal to come on, lie says, to the sweeper, and it started ahead. At the same time the cable car was put in motion, Gripman Frail evidently mistaking the signal. The car moved rapidly and was half way over the crossing when the sweeper struck it in the center, crushing in the side and throwing the passengers in a heap. B. L. H. Dabbs and his wife were seated in the cable car. Mr. Dabbs was thrown against the stove: his nose- was broken aud his face was cnt so badly that it is feared he is disfigured for life. Mrs. Dabbs was thrown into the aisle, but escaped with a few bruises received from others falling on her. John Vickroy, the boy peddler, was thrown across the car and struck the opposite Beat on his side, badly injuring him. The other passengers escaped with a few bruises. Dr. Page attended Mr. Dabbs and young Vick roy and they were removed to their homes. The cable car was sent back to the Oak land shed. The sweeper had been forced oil the tracks and considerable time was spent in getting it on the rails again. This was finally accomplished by working the sweep er up towards the Ellsworth avenue bridge. There is a high grade there and as the sweeper got on the track the men lost con trol ot it and it started back toward East Jjiberty. Car 24, Duquesne line, was wait ing with a load ot passengers to come to Pittsburg. The motorman, seeing the sweep er coming toward him, reversed and shouted for the passengers to jump. They did so promptly, and as the last of them got out the sweeper caught the car. The collision smashed the car platform up to the door and completely wrecked the sweeper lor the time being. It was sent with car 24 to the barn and the road was cleared. The block ade lasted about an hour. HE PAWNED XEE 8PAEELEE8. An Bast End Young Society Man Under a Cloud. There is a young man locked np in the Central police station whom the detectives will not talk about. His name is said, on the outside, toibe E. S. Vorhis, the charge against him embezzlement, and his home is in the East End. He is said, also on the outside, to be one of the aristocratic resi dents of that district and is only under a dark cloud temporarily by reason of some unknown hard luck. Not an officer about police headquarters will talk of the case, but it is said he got a pair of diamond ear-rings at the. jewelry store of B. Seidle, of Fifth avenue, one day last week, for which he was to pay $250 in' the next day or two. It is said he tailed to pay for ihcm, as per his promise, and in cidentally it became known that the stones were in a Smithfleld street pawnshop. They had been left there on Mouday.and nearly the full amount ot their value had been loaned on them. They-were at once lifted and re turned to the owner, and Detective Shore. so it is said, found Vorhis yesterday after noon. He had some 7200 on his person, which it is believed he realized on the diamonds. George TV. Miller's Friends Disappointed. The friends bf George AV. Miller, the newly-appointed Collector of Internal Rev enue, were considerably disappointed yes terday at the failure of .the United States Senate to confirm the appointment It was expected by many that the appointment would be confirmed yesterday. Mr. Miller himself was probably the only one who seemed satisfied with the condition. In an swer to a question he said: "No. I have received no word from Washington, and of course I don't know whether or not my ap pointment has been confirmed. I may be prejudiced in my own favor, but I know there is no reason why I should not be con finned, and if I am 'turned down I guess I can stand'it" They Had a Frlendlj Armament. Edward Taylor, Faro Kelson and John Lalley were arrested on Magee street by Officers Metzer and Ludwig yesterday af ternoon and lodged in the Eleventh ward station on a charge of disorderly conduct It is alleged by the officers that the prison- ers , were in a arunicen condition and got into an argument over St. Patrick, which resulted in a regular, rough and tumble fight t the corner of Magee and Gibbon streets.

TEAFF1C BADLY OBSTEUCTED. The Heavy Fall or Snow Seriously Inter feres With Traction Lines. Yesterday's snowstorm not only cast a damper-over St. Patrick's Day celebrations, but played havoc with street railway sched ules. All the traction lines in the two cities were more or less inconvenienced by it. Salt cars were brought into use on all of them, but in spite of them the tracks were slippery and it was a hard matter either to make good headway or to stop at corners. On several lines sweepers were finally brought out ami the tracks were put iu better shape. At midnight every car on the Birmingham line had lost two trips, and a similar condition of affairs was found on other lines. At 1 o'clock this morning the snow had almost ceased, but the indications are tor more of it to-day. Should it keep np dur ing the day steam railroads will be seriously affected. The temperature fell to 21 vester day and there- is' not much chance of its rising to-day. THE ALLEGHENY BRANGHFFIGE OF THE DISPATCH AT 107 FEDERAL ST. Is open erery day except Sunday until 0 p. M.

When Cap tain Bell was suspended no reason was, as signed by Superintendent Mutb. When the Captain reported for a hearing at 11 o'clock yesterday he was accompanied by K. T. Mead, his attorney. Chief Mnrphy ordered all those not interested in the case to leave the room. Attorney Mead at first refused to go. He insisted that he was present to look after his client, that no charges had been made against the officer and that 'the public had a right to know how the case was disposed of. The chief forbed him out of the place, however. All the reporters were also compelled to leave. Captain Bell was then called, and to him Chief Mnrphy said: "You ain't a bit better than any other ofHcerwho was ever given a hearing, and it you want a hearing I will give it to you; but I will not allow von or any other set of broken-down politicians to come here and try to run my department. I am chief of this department and am going to run it to suit myself, and I don't propose allowing you oranv otner person to interlere. In reply Captain Bell said: "I don't know what the charges are against me, and consequently I did not know who I should call to appear as witnesses in' my behalf. I am willing to go on with the hearing, and I would prefer to make it a "public one and allow the reporters and all others who desire to be present." Captain Bell then agreed to go on with the hearing, provided the witnesses were sworn, but to this proposition Chief Mur phy objee'ed, and then Captain Bell re fused to go into the hearing. .Chief Mur phy, however, went on with the hearing. The charge against Captain Bell was drunk enness aud neglect of duty. Several police officers appeared as witnesses and at the con clusion Chief Murphy said he would formally dismiss Captain Bell from the police force. When Captain Bell was informed last night of the charges made against him he said: "Everybody in Allegheny knows that I occasionally take a drink. I have never attempted to conceal that, bnt I defy any one to indicate a time or place when or wherel was drunk or neglected my duty as a police officer. I have been especially careful since the reconstruction of the police force, and, as I understand it, the drunkenness charged against me' dates back to a time when Chief Murphy and myself were out together having a little sport. That is why Murphy refused to have a public hearing. The witnesses summoned against me were officers whom I had reported for various offenses and of course I would have had no chance with them. Chief Murphy pesistently refused to give them a hearing and I am satisfied I would not have been suspended or discharged had I turned in against Parke and May, the candidates for State delegates, and as Superintendent Muth instructed. "I have an abundance of information in my possession. Of course I have no hope of getting back on the police force as it is now constituted, but a thorough investigation of the system I am certain will land some ot the head police officials in jail." Captain Bell has turned in with the re formers. He savs he will go into coijrt and demand the testimony brought out at the secret hearing at which he was dismissed. oricM and MonrnisE habit. The Most ScientlfloMethod or Cure Recently Come to Light The Opium Habit A New Method or Treatment Its Success Already Demonstrated In This City. There has been s quiet movement on of late to establish a the treatment of victims of the opium habit under the methods practiced by Drs. Kin near and Forrest, of Illinois. Upon the request of certain capitalists Dr. Kinnear a snort time ago came to Pitts burg to demonstrate by treatment of some well-known obstinate cases his ability to cure this most unfortunate vice quickly and completely, without nervous shock or pain to those treated. This he has done to the entire satisfaction of every one concerned, and in each case in the incredibly brief time of one week from the beginning of treatment. Dr. Kennear is a graduate of Jefferson Medical College, of Philadelphia, also of Bush Medical Col lege, Chicago, and served three years as United States Army Surgeon in the" War of the Rebellion, and has been in regular practice ever since. He is a member in good standing of the American Medical Association, the Illinois State Medical So ciety, and the Army and Navy Medical Association, tie nas practiced this special ty for three years past, and without a single -failure, though having the larger proportion of his patients of those who had been dismissed from other institutions as incurable after the most persistent and prolonged efforts to effact a cure. Indeed, the doctor invites just such cases for testing the efficacy of his treatment, and at the same time he guarantees entire freedom from pain or nervous shock. The cases tested here have been under the constant inspection from beginning to end of treat ment of Dr. J. M." Miller, of Allegheny City, who will gladly furnish all informa tion to any who may be interested in this subject Complete arrangements have been made for the practice of this specialty here, and all cases desiring treatment can be received at once, and are requested to call upon or address Dr. Miller at his office', 30 Federal street, Allegheny City, Pa. ' The treatment will be continued here un til the permanent organization is effected and a desirable building secured for a sani tarium. As soon as the sanitarium is com pleted the treatment of inebriety will be included with the same assurance of success as that of the opium.habit " All the new shades of green in beautiful patterns at John S.

Murphy, Glenn and Donaldson Re leased on a Technicality, Bnt THE SUITS WERE ENTERED AGAIN. Prosecutor John McKirdy Failed lo Put in an Appearance. WAS SNOWBOUND ON AN ELECTBIC CAR The cases against John B. Murphy, Chief of the Department of Public Safety of Alle gheny, Assistant Superintendent of Police 'John Glenn and ex-Detective Frank Donaldson, in which Murphy was charged with embezzlement, bribery and receiving bribes, and the others were charged with embezzlement,' were dismissed by Alderman Scheltman yesteaday after noon. When the defendants were arrested early in the week the time for their hearing was fixed for yesterday between 2 aild 3 o'clock. The defendants were promptly ou hand and expressed themselves as being anxious for their hearing. The Alderman's office was crowded beyond comfort with a curious crowd and the sidewalk outside was choked up with a crowd anxious to force their way inide, but the prosecutor, John McKirdy, was not among the gathering. McKlrdy Did Not Show Up. The crowd waited anxiously for Mr. Mc Kirdy and his attorney, and a few moments before 3 o'clock it was announced by some one in the party that the prosecutions bad been abandoned and that Mr. McKirdy would not attend the hearing. This an nouncement created considerable excite ment among the crowd. The Alderman at once instituted an investigation, and fonnd that the announcement had been madeonly as a joke. Promptly at 3 o'clock Chief Murphy, who had been crowded into a corner ot the office, arose and said: "Alderman, let the case proceed. The time is now up." The Alderman called lor Mr. McKirdy. There was no response, as that gentleman was not present Chief Murphy then asked that the case be dismissed. It waithen just three minutes after 3 o'clqck,and the Alder man dismissed the oases against the de fendants. The latter immediately left the office. They had hardly done so when Mr. Mc Kirdy, accompanied by Auditor Bigger and Attorney George Biddle and Thomas M.. Marshall, Jr., Murphy's attorney, entered. They were greatly chagrined that the case had been dismissed. - Mr. McKirdy claimed indignantly that the Alderman should at least have given them ten minutes' grace. The latter replied that the hour had passed, and that he could not hold the case it it was against the demand of the defense in a crim inal prosecution. The Prosecutor Was Snowbound. Mr. McKirdy explained that he and his attorney had been delayed 40 minutes by the street cars 'stopping, and he said it would not improve Chief Murphy's case any lor his having taten advantage ot a technicality. Mr. McKirdy at once re newed the informations against the defend ants, renewing the old charges. Assist ant Superintendent Glenn called on the Alderman shortly after and renewed his bail in the sum of $1,000. It is expected that Chief Murphy and Donaldson will renew their bail this morn ing. Mr. McKirdy also made similar in formations against Detective Kornman and Officer Samuel McCinre, who were detec tives under ex-Mayor Pearson. The charges against them were the same as against Mr. Glenn. Warrants' were issued. Hf R.f A I l v 9 m AAnA j-Ia "knl 1a "Lab sm t movement going I . ?"
