I ' THE PITTSBimG DISPATCH, SATURDAY APRIL 2. 1892. where he was naturalized, and B. C "Wilson, oi the Seventh Avenue, is hanging fire on account of not having his papers drawn up properly. The others held over on account of defective papers are Alex. S. Scribner, of the Amer ican House, Best & McQuaide, 51. R. Col lins, P. Breunan, John Mclnty, John M. Kelly, Bernard Schmidt, Gustav Friedel ind John Sullivan. Those who are to have rehearings because et complaint made against them are Thomas l)elaney, V. E. Currier, D. C Neary and Irs. Mary Dousley. The cases of iEIenry Meyer and A. L. Uurphy, of the Hotel Albion are held over on account of sickness. One of the surprises amonc the retused was the name of Charles Goodwin, Sr., father of the Goodwins in the Oil Exchange restaurant He applied for a place at 404 Sinithheld street. He will start a restau rant there. aiav Make a Rating on Oppn Hoars. Judge Collier was asked yesterday if in )he ca-es held o verdefects were such that the Court could not remedy. His answer in dicated the Court had power to wrarge the defects and that hearings would be held in each of those cases. He was also asked whether anv ruling had been made as to the hour taloons might open in the morning, ne re plied that he would not talk on that point except in open court, and indicated that such a ruling would be made very shortly. He absolutely refused to discuss any reasons for dealing out prizes in the manner he did. He simply said he was guided by naked law, and that necessity was one of the creatcit requirements needed. One result of the decision of the Judges will be to create a big deficiency for a starter in the present year'sreccipts of the city. In figuring lor the appropriation ordinance the l'inance Committee estimated the city w ould receive 5-100,000 lroin liquor licenses this ear. Under the new law the city receives S'JOO oi the $1,000 paid foreach retaillicense and thus, if the Finance Committee's ex tectations had been realized the Court would have jrranted 444 licenses. But as only 3T3 have been granted the city will receive only 5335,700, or SGi,S00 less than the estimate. Even il the 11 hold-overs pre granted and the licenses granted are all taken out the city will receive only $343,000.. or 554,400 less than the estimate. aiaj' Not Care lo Pay the Trice. There is a belief, however, among the leading dealers downtown that when it comes to putting up the cash there will be a number who have been granted licenses who ill fail to come to the front. They argue that the business done by many dur ing the past year with 3S2 licenses will Ecarcely justify some in paying $1,000 for the privilege this year. This opinion is corroborated by Police Superintendent O'Mnra. Said he: "I think the Court displayed good judgment in the selections made, though I thint we conld have stood 25 or 30 more li censes very well. But the Court was probablv aware that a number ot the saloons last year scarcely made nnv money and realized'that if they granted too many the applicants would see there was no chance to make anything and would fail to take out their licenses. On the whole the court has, in my opinion, dis played good judgement." When Controller Morrow was asked his opinion ol the court's decision, he simply reached for a scrap of paper and alter a moment's figurine said: "I am not in favor oi many saloons, but this means 5335,700 -where wc expected $400,000. That touches me in a tender spot on the city's account." Much interest was manifested in the cases of .1. K. Durr, and P. A. Kickards, both of the First ward, whose applications were at tended with sensational circumstances. Duir says, he has no fault to find with the Court's decision because he believes the Court to have been misled by a garbled and false remonstrance in a divorce case in spired by professed friends of his late wife, M ho have been his personal enemies. He tays ne oeueves every Dusincss man in the ward and even in the citv and all his guests which are from 12,000 to 15,000 per year could and would certiiy to his keeping one of the best houses in the citv for the price charged, and has no trouble whatever about his house. As to his temperate habits and good character the personal testi mony of Superintendent O'Mnra in court indorsed bv J. O.Brown who knows him and his hotel, are matters any citizen may well be pioud of. Dnrr Thinks Their Oaths Should Convince. As to the ladv, Mrs. Jarrett, unjustly li?:ned in the divorce paper, his oath and Mr.'.Tarrett'F evidence denving the allega tions of remonstrants, Mr. liurr savs, ought to stand as successfully contradicting it. No citizen of the ward," county or even the State could be found to support or sign re monstrances filed against him. His hotel register shows that he averages keeping 40 people over night besides 100 dailv mcalers. Mr. Durr also claims to be the "victim of hlackmailcrs whose demands he retused to tatisiy. V. A. Uickard who was also refused, could not be seen last night and his opinion of the decision could not be learned. Rev. Father Micedy, who was thought to be re sponsible lor ltickard being refused, said that as tar as Mr. Eickard was concerned he had nothing personal against him but he thought it was for the best inter est of his school to enter a protest against the licensing of a saloon 5n such close proximity. "In regard to the Brooks law," he continued, "I think if one of the best ever passed. The lact that the owners must go up to court every year and pass the ordeal and the uncertainty that turrounds their remaining in the business has a ery good effect, far differ ent irom the old regime when nay and everybody could do as they pleased. The tact that the examination is conducted without favor year alter year will have a tendency to drive out the disreputable ones, so that in the end only those conduct- nrii-ciass nouses win make applications or ever attempt to lace the ordeal. Tho . suit will be that houses of the first class will be the rule instead of the exception." Disappoints! and Disgruntled Applicants. Many of the disappointed applicants are very sore at the treatment they received irom the Court, and in private conversa tions express, themselves in language more forcible than elegant. One man who has been regularly refused since the Brooks law has been in force, and whose only draw back has been the unfortunate location of his house, broke into tears when informed that lie had again been turned down and wept line a child. His grief was so great that he became ill aud had to be taken home end put to bed. Captain Thomas K. Kerr, President of the Pittsburg Driving Park, was very in dignant that Adam Pubs had been denied a license. He said: "Mr. Fuhs is one of the most respected and substantial Germans in this State. I thiuk it is an outrage that the driving park should be refused, as it is one of the most popular resorts twice a year in this State to the people of Pittsburg and Pennsvlvania, aud is attended by our beat citizens."

PITTSBURG OX WHEELS. A Iar-re Snmber of riittinss Filled file Streets Yesterday Tho March 'Was To ward the Bast End The Sorrow and Pleasures of MoTlng. Yesterday Pittsburg and Allegheny were on wheels, or at least a fair percentage of their citizens were. Alldaylongand far into the night wagons piled high with every thing necessary in good or bad housekeep ing could be seen going to every corner of the city. Every man who moved yesterday vowed he would never move again, but with the coming of next spring's violets this same man will be seen puffing aud blowing under a load of household effects. The creator part of the procession of tables, chairs, beds, stoves, etc, seen pass ing along Pittsburg's busy thoroughfares yesterdav found a termination in the East End and the Hill districts. This all goes to show that the people of Pittsburg are learning thnt the business part of the city is not the place to live. From manv of the places vacated in the downtown districts to-day great busi ness blocks i ill rise within the next few months, which will stand as monuments to Pittsburg's industries. Many amusing incidents were to be seen on the streets" of Pittsburg. There was hardly a flitting which did not furnih some laughter. All over town were distributed pieces of mirrors and dishes. About the only thing not broken was the baby, and it was invariably setting up a howl against the whole proceeding. In fact, several cases were reported where the baby was for gotten by the parents in their anxiety to get to their new homes. To-day many more people will bid adieu to their neighbors of a year and go of! to sections new, maybe to be a credit and may be not. HAD FUN WITH THE NEIGHB0ES. Frank Cooley Chases a Xnmbpr of People With a Bic Kcife. About 8 o'clock last night Frank Cooley, who lives in the rear of o. 108 Clark street. Eighth ward, caused an excitement in the neighborhood by chasing his wife and several of the neighbors about the street with a large bntcher knife about a foot long. It is alleged by his wife that her husband has been drinking heavily for the past week and he is.slightly demented. He came home last night about 7 o'clock and finding his wife absent from the house he picked up a five-gallon can filled with car bon oil and poured it over the kitchen floor. Just as he was finishing the iob Mrs. Cooley entered the house anrt when he saw her he picked up a large butcher knife and ran at her. Mrs. Cooley escaped to the street and ran to the Eleventh ward station where she notified Sergeant Cochran and he sent Offi cers Tettley aud Craig. Before the officers arrived Cooley had succeeded in frightening every person in the neichborhood. The officers found him hiding in a coal shed in the rear of the house and after a desperate struggle placed him under arrest. He was locked up in the Eleventh ward station on a charge of disorderly conduct. Jin. Cooley will appear against him at the hear ing this morning. She said last night it was not the first time he had threatened her life and she was afraid to live with him. SCABED THE PASSEHGEHS. A Broken Cable Stops the riftli Avenne Traction Line. Travel was stopped on the Fifth avenue traction linn Inst nirlit m n rocnlt nf. broken cable. About G o'clock as car Xo. 07 was going around the Bellcfield curve i. :.. Mi, .,.. i i-i 1 the crip caught on the cable in some man- ner and the gripman could not release it. In consequence the grip was twisted and broken and the cable cat through by it The car was thrown Irom the track, the win dows broken and the passengers badly frightened. No one, however, was in jured. It was some time before the broken grip could be taken out and the break in the cable stopped business on that division. The broken cable was a new one, having only been inuse three weeks. It will be sometime this morning before it can be re paired. In the meanwhile the road will be operated between Oakland and downtown. Through passengers will be transferred to the Duquesne line at Atwood street. Boarders and lodgers wanted and rooms to let. Advertised in Sunday's Dlspatrli. The best houses are represented in tho cent-a-word colninn. A Brother or BistnarcK's Do;j. Dr. Schaleke and Max Sonnuescheinof Prague, Austria, were on the limited last evening, bound for Chicago. The Doctor is on a visit, but his companion is a manufac turer and is in the country on business. Mr. Sonnueschem had a large Danish wolf Hound with him that he called Cajsar. He said the dog was a full brother of Bis marcks famous hound. He is very fond of the animal and it was much admired by the passengers. Dr. Schaleke said that Austria was making great preparations for the World's Fair. He laughed at the sugges tion of war between Kussia and Austria. He says neither nation could afford to give battle to the other. The prospects lor a disturbance in Europe are very poor. The Doffs Were Itrsnited. It was reported that yesterday morning the dog snatchers would begin their work. This was a mistake. The chasers of canines will not get down to business until next Monday. Then they will gobble only dogs that did not have a license in 1S91. The ones running at large without a license for 1892 will not be molested until May 1. No Blast Furnaces for Duquesne. It is now said the Carnegie Company will abandon the idea of erecting four new blast lurnaccs at Duquesne and that thev will bo built in Braddoek. It is thought that this action was brought about by the successful test of the direct process. In this event the hot metal route will be a certainty between Braddoek and Duquesne.

His First Arrest Caused by the Father of His Betrothed, WHO CLUNG TO HDI IN ADVERSITY. Affectionato Letters 'Written "While in Prison. the Lover I'LL KEEP OUR MARRIAGE LICENSE John F, McGriffin, who was shot at Brad dock last Monday evening while attempt ing to escape from Police Officer James Sullivan, died at the "West Penn Hospital just before noon yesterday. At the In stance of the Coroner, Sullivan was arrested last night and will be held pending an in vestigation of the shooting. McGnffin had been arrested on Monday afternoon, charged with robbing his room mate, John Stevenson, ot a suit of clothes. He was taken before 'Squire Holtzman, and in default ot WOO bail was held for court. On the way from the 'Squire's office to the lockup McGriffiu broke away from the offi cer, and while attempting to escape was shot in the back. He was sent to the West Penn Hospital, where he died yesterday. Shortly before dying McGnffin made the following statement: 1, John F.

He fired lour shots. It was the second shot that took effect. After I was shot I ran about a square and a half, when I fell. The ante-mortem statement was signed by McGriffin with his mark, aud was witnessed by W.A. Cowan, Superintendent of the hos pital, and Drs. Clark and Anderson. An Officer's Deadly liullct. Doctors Murdock and Clark last evening made a postmortem examination of the body of John McGriffin at theWest Penn Hospital. The physicians found that the buliet had struck him in the left side of the back three inches irom the backbone. It passed through the boncls and lodged in front just under the skin. There were four bullet holes in his coat and two in his vest, showing that all of the four shots fired by the officer had been faiily well aimed. Last night Drs.Schooloy and Carothers, o Braddoek, went before 'Squiro Holtzman and made sworn statements for use at the Coroner's inquest to-day. They were to the efiect that they had attended McGriffin when lie was taken to the lockup Monday night and ordered his removal to the hospital. Drs. Clarke, Carothers, Murdock and Schoolcy made a post-mortem on the dead body. A partial inquest was held last night. It will be concluded to-day. John F. McGriffin, the victim of the shooting, has for years been a familiar figure m the police circles in Pittsburg and Braddoek. He was 2-t years old and his mother died when he wa3 a child. His father married again and a short time after committed suicide. Letters From a Loving bi-.ter. Young McGriffin's sister is a graduate of thcPitts'ours High School, and upon his per son when taken to the hospital ere found several affectionate and sisterlv letters with the young w Oman's picture. She now lives in Allesheny. The letters from his sister were filled with kind advice and fervent prayers for his success.

He re mained in the store but a short time and was dicsharged. He was employed in many places afterward, but was always unable "to hold his place. While drifting about he became known to the police as a thiefi Three years ago he went to Grant Miller aiid asked to be helped out of some trouble into which he had gotten. Miller helped him and agreed to get him a job provided he would asrrce to take care of himself. "Don't get me a job, Grant," McGriffin said. "I couldn't hold it, anyway. I am a thief," he concluded, and then broke down crying. Where lie Met Bis Betrothed. Shortly afterward he was compelled to leave Pittsburg. He went to Braddoek where he secured a place. While working he met and courted Annie Jones. A num ber ol petty robberies had occurred in Brad dock during' his stay there, and while he had not been arrested, his name was openly associated with the theft. Miss Jones' lather violently opposed McGriffin's suit, but his daughter refused to listen to the parental objections and she also turned a deaf ear to the rumors reflecting upon her lover's character. The two became engaged to be married. The wedding day had been fixed. The young lady insisted on being married at her home aud the arrangements lor the ceremony were carried on by the expectant bride, "while the father raved and insisted that the wedding should never occur. Mr. Jones had heard of the rumors against young -ucurinin s cuaracter, ana ne ap pealed to the police to interfere to prevent the wedding. The police set at work to in vestigate one of the robberies and fixed it upon McGriffin. On the dav set for the wedding, and only an hour before the time fixed lor the cere mony, when the wedding supper had been prepared, when every detail had been com pleted, the police found McGriffin in his room alreadv dressed for the ceremonv. They arrested him ou a charge of larcenv. He was sent to jail in dclault of bail. He was tried in court aud was convicted. He was sentenced to ten months in the work house. Father Jones contented himself in the belief that the disgrace and the separa tion would chill his daugntcr's affection for ner lover, tie was mistaken, however. The girl's love was stronger than her dis grace aud humiliation. Still Faithful to Her Hover. During her lover's imprisonment she wrote him regularly, and her letters were gems of affectionate and endeariug tokens. Several of these letters were in the vnnntr man's pocket when he was shot. One or them was especially interesting. In it she told and retold of her love for him. She protested again aud again his innocence, and she assured him that his imprisonment and persecution had only strengthened her love lor him, aud had' drawn her heart closer to him. In her letter she prayed that God would guide him aright and would eventually bring back and make him her husband. She implored him to be courageous and not be disheartened and she concluded her letter by saying, "My dear 1 still keep our marriage license. We may never use it, but God knows it will never do us any harm." Two months ago McGriffin was released from the prison. He returned to Braddoek and he and his sweetheart again renewed their love-making. Again they arranged for their wedding, and again" the girl's father renewed his old-time opposition to the contemplated union. McGriffin was unable to secure work, but he decided to allow love to find the way, and he walked blindly on to his wedding day. He bad no money and he was without credit. He was driven to desperation, and the night before the day upon which he was to have been mar ried he broke open his room mate's trunk and stole therefrom a comparatively new suit of clothes. He intended the clothes for his wedding suit. He had them on when arrested. He will be buried in them probably this evening. BIGEL0W WANTS NO GAS. Dispute Between Controller Morrow and tho Chler of Public Works Over Licht in: Municipal Hall Both Propose to Ficbt It Out to the End. Chief Bielow ana Controller Morrow are uaving a controversy over tne question o lighting City Hall, which those acquainted with the facts are watching with interest. The Chief of Public Works positively de clares that the building shall be lighted with electricity, and the Controller just as emphatically declares it must be lighted with artificial gas. The municipal building has been lighted for the past four years under a contract with the Allegheny County Electric Light Company, which expired February 1. The city is entitled to 12,500,000 feet of artificial gas free every year from the Pittsburg Gas Company for its expansive charter privi leges, and before electric lights displaced gas for street lighting, the city always used it all. But the city building had adopted ejectricity before the change in street lights was made, and since the change this valuable free gift has been allow ed to go practically unused, to the great satisfaction of the gas company. The Controller's ideaistoget tho use of at least a portion of this free gas bv ti'iing it in City Hall, but Chief Bigelow, backed by all the other officers aud employes in the building is opposed to gas on account of its unpleasant features, and desires electric lights. Since the erection of the tall building tn rear of the hall and tho darkening of the skies by smoke, it is necessary to use lights constantly on that side of the building and the clerks generally have been protesting ever since the Controller first suggested a return to gas. Their appeals to Chief Bigelow have decided him in the matter and as he figures that electricity will cost comparatively little more, he has taken the initiative in he matter by inserting adver tisements for electrically lighting the build ing for fouryears. and proposes to award the contract on the 8th inst. The Controller is still determined to compel the use of gas, and smiles significantly when asked how he is going to do it. "the fact that Mr. Bigelow has adver tised for proposals does not settle the mat ter," said he yesterday, "and the award of the contract will not do it. I may even say that the approval of the contractby Coun cils will not settle it, though it is "a little doubtful if Councils may not see the chance to practice a little economy and disapprove the contract when it conies before them But I propose to fight the matter even fur ther if need be and I think I will win. I am actuated by purely economic motives." G0FF DOESK'T WAHT SECOND PLACE. West Virslnla Republicans Will Support Harrison for tho Prrsidpiicy. Ex-Congressman Atkinson, of Wheeling, left for Washington last evening over the Baltimore and Ohio road. He is a Kepub lican, and claims he was counted out by the Democrats when he came up for re-election in the Wheeling district. Mr. Atkinson said West Virginia Republicans were first for Blaine, but since he has refused to run, they will support President Harrison. He says Judge Gofl" is well satisfied with his position on the bench, and will not be a candidate for second place onuthe ticket. He is giving c-eat satisfaction and the people like him as a jurist. It is the de termination ot tin West Virginia Repub licans to nominate '.Secretary of War Elkins for Governor neit fall, if he will accept it. Mr. Atkinson states that he hasn't inti mated that he woii'd accept, but the general feeling is ;z he will and should do so. Mr. Atkinson adds that the light in West Virginia will be close, and the party with the best organization will win. CL03EE TO THE CIT7.

In less than two months the people of Castlo Shannon, Shepardstown and adjacent boroughs will have rapid transit to the citj-. .The Suburban Bapid Transit Street Railroad is extending its road from Arling ton avenue along Southern avenue to Jane street, Southside.

THOUSANDS TO COME TO THIS CITY The interest already shown in the World's Fair by people of ioreign countries makes it plain that Pittsburg will need to hustle in order to creditably maintain her reputation as the leading manufacturing city of this continent. A local hotel man said yesterday that the officers of the Polytechnic Institute of Lon don, England, was making arrangements to bring over several thousand young me chanics, artisans, shop girls, milliners and others who follow similar occupations, who will be given a chance t0 I Vn!r ,nj :..ij.n,t,., see the World s Fair, and incidentally to gain some infor mation about the industries of the United States by visiting the manufacturing cities. They will be shown Xew York first, then Boston and Philadelphia, and the various industries in and about them. They will come to Pittsburg next, remaining here for at least one day, and negotiations for rates are now in progress with some of the hotels in this city. The young folks are to be brought over in groups of 50 and will be accompanied by guides who will escort them to every place of interest in localities visited, payingtheir way at every point from a fund furnished by the institute. France SVantB Half the Show. The Government of France has already asked for halt the space nllotted to manu facturers at the World's Fair, and little Holland wants 18,000 square feet, or one fourth the whole space. Other European countries have asked for large spaces in which to exhibit their manufactures, and if these were allowed half they ask for there would be little left lor home manufacturers. As tar as could be learned yesterday the only Pittsburg manufacturers who have made any sign of making an ex hibit worthy of this citv are the Carnegies, who have asked for 20,000 square feet and they declare their intention to fully occupy every available foot of it. Edison, "the wizaid of Menlo Park," makes a similar re quest. World's Fair Commissioner Keilley, of this city, lias taken cognizance of many indica tions of interest being manifested by people from other countries in the great exhibition and he is growing uneasy because Pittsburg is not active in her preparations. He is afraid that unless manufacturers here make their applications lor space very soon they will be too late to get any. Will Soon Reach the Limit. The space for manufactures is limited to only 80,000 square feet, and Mr. Keilly thinks that in the allotment of space the commissioners may so on the "first come, first served" principle. Mr. Ileilley called on the Mayor yesterday and asked him to urge on the business p"eople tho necessity lor immediate action, as well as to ascertain what had been done about the appointment of a Conncilmanic World's. Fair committee. The Mayor a ier weeks ago addressed a communication to Councils requesting the appointment of such a committee, but while a resolution to that effect was passed, the committee was not named. The Mayor thinks no appointments were made because it was so near the end of the Council year, but lie will make another effort in the mat ter when the new Councils have organized. The Mayor, like ihe Commissioners, is anxious that Pittsburg shall be well repre sented and is willing to lend every assist ance in his power to that end. A. G. Jioenigk is one of the State World's Fair Commissioners who is looking after the art display. He said an auxiliary committee composed of Messrs. Bcatty and Woodncll had been appointed. At present the committee is waiting for instructions irom Chicago. They do not care to dupli cate anything, and have no desire to do work that may have to be undone. Said Mr. Roenigk: Pittsburg Should Be at the Front. There is no reason why Pittsburg should not have an art display that will be charac teristic and do credit to the city. We have a number of (rood artists in Plttsburp. There is Mr. Beatty's picture, "Labor Goimr home to Itest," that sold lecently for n large sum. The trouble is thnt the big in dustries like iron and glass overshadow art in Pittsburg. It would be well to call at tention to this feature of our dtenlav. It should not bo overlooked in-the shuffle. I think wo can pet up a creditable art exhibi tion thnt I'itlshurgors will he proud of. Wo loccivo lotsoi sicjioations from people that rue unique, but they nio hardly prac tical, and would not leprosent the city. For example, a lady not lon:r aso wanted to reproduce the Cryital Palace, of England, in w ax. It would hnvc been very pictty, no doubt, but it wns not what wo wanted. Controller Morrow thinks Pittsburg's ex hibit should not be merely a display like that given yearly at the home exposition. Wo want something bUr, crand, worthy our city and herpiand achievements in iron, steel and glass mamifacturinK and. her pro duction of coal and pctiolotim. There should ho no loom for tho display of ordl nary productions, such as are manufr ctured every wheie. PittsDars Could Dazzle the World. We have our reputation for bur out put of the articles of oommorca I have named, and on thoss wo should lhake it a point to dazzle the world if possible. At least, wo should allow no city in .he world to exceed us In those Jines. I would lavor the erection of small plants for Iron, steel and glass manufaotule on the grounds, duci presume tne requisite spaco could not be secured. One niah I have heard of Is having taken from his mine a lump of bituminous coal 82 fet high which he wants tosend to the Fair. Tlias would bo an interesting sight to millions (of people and an excellent advertisement top our city. An exiiibitlon of our armor plnte, plate slass, cold rolled iron and many of ner equal ly important manufactuies would be ln terestmg.and if properly urrnngeolwould ad vertise us all over the world. 1 Our people, it nppears to me, Won't pav enough attention to advertising t 0Mt,H in Cleveland the otherday the pUtS "lass windows in large building Just Wing com p.c ,'. ere labeled "Pittsbuhr Plate Glass. But underneath was the advertise ment of n Cleveland dealer who wns adver t'sinij his business, the manufacturers of the glass not beinir mentioned. I Ieaijicd whilo at Clevelan dthat manufacturers there are making great prepaiatlons to shoir off their city as a manulaetnrins city. If dur people would only stir themselves simlUrJv they might sive us proper representation. We certainly could not afford to let Cleveland excel us in tunt respect. j Whoever may be negligent in preparing for the World's CFair, the railroad people are not. Assistant General Passenger Agent Luce of the Pennsvlvania Company, arrived in this city from Uhicago yesterday.andsaid: "The general agents of all the roajds which expect to get World's Fair traffic, which means nearly every one in the conntry are hustling hard. If every other branch of business would make the same effort the Fair would far surpass all expectations, but we are afraid you folks in Pennsylvania are not keeping up with the procession!" 4 If yon wish a first-class boarding house, consult the irant columns of the Sunday Dispatch. , A Successful Benefit.

This was greatly swelled through the kindness of .Manager Davis, who gave his house and his help in lact, everything at his disposal to the benefi ciaries iree of cost. This unusual act has won for Manager Davis the warmest praise that the theatrical attaches can offer. J HEAVY LOSS IN A FOUNDRY. Hmrn M. Bole' Works on Dnqoeme Way Badly Scorched The Damace TV ill Beach 820,000 The Insurance Had Re cently Been Decreased. An alarm was turned in from box 2 at 3:50 o'clock yesterday afternoon for a fire at the machine shop and foundry of Hngh M. Bole, on Duquesne way, opposite the Expo sition. By the time the department ar rived the entire upper story was In flames. Superintendent Humphries at once, sent in an alarm calling two more districts. The building is an iron clad with a gravel roof, which made it rather hard to control the fire, but after an hour's hard fighting it was subdued. Mr. Bole stated that he thought the fire originated from the cupola of the McKnight foundry. The wind was blowing from that direction and a shower of sparks from the chimney of the cupola was falling directly on that portion of the building where the lire originated. Mr. Bole said that the building had caught fire last summer from the same cause. The heaviest loss will be on the patterns, which have been the accumulation of the past 20 years and cannot be replaced. The works was established by Hugh M. Bole on its present site in 18G3 and during the war many of the cannon manufactured at the old Ft, Pitt Foundry were finished at the Bole works. This is the'second time it has been burned. In 1871 the entire plant was totally destroyed, and the present works were erected in 1873. Up until two months aso there was an insurance of $30,000 on the plant, when it was reduced to $15,000, which is spread in different companies through the Kirkpatrick & Son Agency. The loss will reach S20.000. The plant has not been In fnll operation for some time, so that only a lew men will be thrown out of employment. EDGEW00D PEOPLE 3TAD. The Pennsylvania Road Refuses to Grant Thrm a Redaction In Rates. Whan the citizens of Edgewood went tc buy their monthly tickets on the Pennsyl vania Railroad for April there was a uni versal howl, as the reduction which was to be in proportion to that given to Wilkins burg failed to materialize, and the agent demanded the old price, 4 60. Quite a number declared their intention to take the electrio cars at Wilkinsburg, and so far about 12 have done so. It is quite practical, as the walk is somewhat less than the dis tance from the Union station to the places of business of most of the people. An indignation meeting will be held in a lew days to take action on the matter,and it is expected that a majority of the com munities will join with the electric car con tingent in case the railroad company de clines to equalize the rate. It is also ex pected that as the pleasant weather is at hand the ladies of the borough will join hands with the men and take the electric cars to the citv or to East Liberty. The reduction made to Wilkinsburg is about 12 per cent on the monthly tick ets, and the Edgewood people ask a reduction in the same proportion, as it is affirmed that the discrimination in fares will damage Edgewood property. It is equivalent to a tax of $10 a year on each man's lot. Some time ago an electric road asked the Council for the right of way through the borough, which was refused, but some of the Councilmenhave announced that they will how favor it. It is also pro posed to organize a companv to connect witli one of the roads in Wilkinsburg, which will make the competition that seems to be the only thing that wili move the Pennsyl vania Kailroad. HAS FAITH IN FATHEB MOLLINGEE. An Indlanlan Who Is Impressed With the Priest's Ucalln; rowers. John Sughrue, of Tcrre Haute, was at the Union depot last evening with his wife, go ing home. He was also accompanied by several young ladies. Mrs. Sughrue is afflicted with failing eyes, and the party came to the city to see Father Mol linger. Mr. Sughrue was much impressed with the skill and power of the aged priest. He said his wife's eyes were still weak, but they had improved "very much under the treatment of the Father. He thinks Father Mollinger is a wonderful man. While he was there a man fell in a fit. The old priest put his hands on him, and he immediately arose to his feet, apparently all right. This proof of his healing ability convinced Mr. Sughrue that Father Mollinger is not to be sneered at. He was surprised to find such a large crowd of sick people on Troy Hill who daily visit the priest. Mr. Abbott Retires From ictive Slanase mrnt of Carnegie Interests. Mr. W. L. ADbott, Chairman of Carnegie, Phipps & Company, Limited, has announced to his purtuers that upon tho completion of his twentv-ono years' service ho would retire Irom active business, in pursuance of a policy Ions since determined upon. We may trace in this tltt influence of some of his principal partners, namely, Messrs. Carneule, Phipps and Lauder, who have an ticipated Mr. Abbott in this policy. All of these have relinquished active duty, but all have retained their interests in the firm, as Sir. Abbott does. Mr. Abbott's career has been most bril liant. Beginning with the Carncslcs when only 19, he has risen through every grade up to the vory highest. Mr. ADbott's decision will necessitate somo changes in the Associations perhaps a con solidation or Carnegie Brothers & Company, Limited, and Carnegie, Phipp" & Company, Limited, into ono organization, as thoy belong to tho sumo parties. Of this, Sir. Frick would bo sole Chairman, thus insuring perfect unity of management. PASTE THIS IN rOBK HAT. Points to Be Remembered About Allqulppa on the Ohio.
