THE PTTSURG- DISPATCH. MONDAY, APRIL 4 1892.
MADE APRETTY Mi
Jennie Scott Doffs Her Dresa
and Dons Masculine
Attire, but Is
BETBATED BY HEK WALK.
The Girl "Was on Her Way to Visit
Old Playmates in Jersey.
WASTED TO SEE HER LOVER AGAIN
Pan Against an Old Acquaintance in Jail,
Warden McAleese.
A MASQUEEADER MAI GO TO MOEGAXZA
Jennie Scott, a pretty little blonde of 18,
is in the county jail for wearing men's
clothes several times too large for her, and
the Rood people of the West End are all
worked up over the finding of a bundle of
woman's clothing near the mouth
of Fox's coal pit, a short dis
tance from the end of the city
line. The connection between the two cir
cumstances will be readily understood
wheu it is stated that the temale attire had
been worn by Xiss Scott, as she called her
telf, until she dropped it to don the mascu
line trimmings. As far as can be learned,
the girl's object was to join her lover in
2ew Jersey, from where she originally
came.
Constable Arthur Fee, of the "West End,
observed what appeared to be a boy skulk
ing along in the shadows on "West Carson
ttreet on Saturday midnight The figure
was clothed in a new pair of blue overalls
and a jumper jacket of the same material.
The evident effort of the figure to keep in
the shadows on the dark, unused side of
the street convinced the officer that an in
vestigation would be proper. He followed
and hailed the mysterious figure.but receiv
ing no reply stepped up and laid a hand on
its shoulder.
fche Msde a Boyish Blnf
His repeated demand for information was
answered by a badly simulated masculine
voice requesting him to attend to his own
business, but the voice was so palpably
feminine that the officer decided he had
caught a masquerader. He led the
figure to the nearest street light
and a scrutiny of the features
corroborated his first impression. The
clothing was masculine, but the face was a
young woman's bevond a doubt and a
pretty, saucy one at that. The blue jacket
which the young lady wore was so much
too large for her that it revealed a plump,
white neck that was itself enough to reveal
her sex, while the crown of a little soft hat
she wore was bulged out with a wealth of
blonde hair coiled tightly on top of her
bead, that gave her a ludicrous appearance.
The girl reiuscd to talk and Constable
Fee walked her up to Alderman Madden's
bouse tor inrther investigation. Alderman
Gladden talked tothe girl in a kindly way
and she seemed toibe affected by it, tor she
told him a story that would Interest any
man.
Wanted to See Her Trover Again.
She said her name was Jennie Scott; that
licr liooie was at Abseon, Doaty's Mills
l'ostofflce, X. J., near Atlantic City, and
that she had come to 1'lttsburg from that
place two months ago. Since coining here
she bad been employed as a domestic at the
house of John Caldwell, on Bates street, hut
had grown hombsick to get back to
her relatives and her lover, and, bav
in? no money, decided to don male
attire and endeavor to beat her
way baek,on freight trains. In explaining
liow she had got oat she told an Ingenious
story ol how she had waited until the Cald
well family left for the theater, when she
followed, came down town, bought her blue
suit of overalls for a dollar, and SO-cent hat
at a Maiket street store, then returned to
Oakland, burned her own clothing in the
kitchen stove and donned her adopted
co'tume.
'I took a Duquesne car for the city and
noticed the men looking at me and smiling,
but thought it was because I looted so much
like a farmer's boy and lelt safe. I walked
donn to the Point'bridge and was Just going
along the street when this man stopped
lire, she concluded breaking into tears, "and
I think it's real mean you won't let me
alone."
Became a Gncst of Warden McAleese.
Alderman Madden was deeply interested
in the story.hut felt the necessity for further
investigation and, though he disliked to do
it, decided to send the young girl to jail un
til he could mako some inquiries. Consta
ble Fee procured a buggy ana conveyed her
1o jail, where she was placed In one of
"Warden McAleese's most substantial apart
ments. Early yesterday morning the "Warden in
parsing through the Jail noticed his new
guest and her strange attire. Iler face struck
liim familiarlv. Calling her out into the cor
ridor in the light he looked at her closely
for a moment and then gave her a start by
pleasantly inquiring: "How are you this
morning, Ko-esT"
The girl colored, but otherwise retained
her composure and in the most innocent way
imaginable answered the question by asking
what the Warden meant by calling her
Rose. Her coolness rather deceived htm
but he thought he could not be mistaken
and said: "Why, you are Hose Peterson, are
you not? Surely you're the girl I sentto tho
Reform School three years ago?"
At first she denied but finally admitted
the 1 arden was right, and then sho began
to tell a long story about how she happened
to De in her present plight. The Warden's
memory proved to ne the best, however,
and bctore long he stopped her and told her
some facts he l.ad learned about her when
bhe had previously been thrown into his
company.
Deserted by Her Stepfather.
The substance of it all was that the only
truthful points in the girl's story were those
relating to her home and her lover. Although
she claims to be 21, the girl is only
18. Her parents are dead, her father
having been a hotel keeper at Salem, Ohio,
13 ears ago and died there. Her mother
returned to Xew Jersey, was married again
to a man named Adams and seven years sub
tequentlv died in a "Sew York hospital.
Adams deserted Hose and her only sister, a
few years her senior. In Xcw York. Her sis
ter was taken by :i Xew York family and
Rose oti taten by her grandmother. Sirs.
Annie Kreitzman, who -'as tolerably well-to-do.living
at Abseon, X. J.
Her grandmother took an interest in the
little girl aud sent her to Ocean City to a
private school, but six months there sufficed
nnd the girl ran away, coming tp this city
about four years ago. Having iio other ac
complishment the gill was forced to become
a domestic. Sho first woiked at Abel's res
taurant on Union street, then with Mrs.
Hjan at COS Penn avenue, and later with
Henry Smith, a farmer back or Cora
opolis. The girl got in with bad com
panions after coming heie, and one
night about three years ago was nr
icsted by Detective Fitzgerald on Market
street in company with Annie Connelly, who
was wanted bv tho police on several charges
of larceny. The Connelly woman was sent
to the uorkhoue.
Gaie the Girl Another Chance.
Inspector McAleese felt that the girl was
not bad, but in order to break her way from
ber newly formed evil associations sent her
to Morganza. She escaped from the institu
tion soon after, but was recaptured and re
turned. From her own story she was only released
two months ago. She insisted that Kho has
been living in Oakland ever since, but the
finding ol her clothing yesterday morning
on the Washington pike indicatos that she
must have boen living out In that direction.
Henry Tierheller lound the clothes on his
way home early yesterday morning. He re
ported thamatter to the police and a sensa
tion ensued, the police knowing nothing of
tho arrest of the girl, and it was supposed
there had been foul play. The girl insists
that she burned her clothes, but the price
tag she removed from her overall suit were
found In the pocket of the dress she had
discarded, settling that point conclusively.
It appears that a tormer Abseon playmate of
the girl's named Websterinetherin this city
before she went to Morganza, and her de
sire to return to him is the only reason that
can be found for her strange masquerade.
Alderman Madden is looking up the case
preparatory to a hearing to-morrow morn
ing, and unless friends come to the front in
the meantime she will probably go back to
Morganza.
DESTROYED THE TRACK.
Explosion of a Gas Slain Barns 75 Feet of
the Pittsburg and Western Trestle The
Fireman Badly Injured A Long Search
for "Water.
Seventy-five feet of the Pittsburg aid
"Western Railroad trestle opposite "Willow
Grove station were destroyed by fire yester
day morning. The loss is estimated by an
official of the company at $5,000. The trestle
lies along the river bank, near Millvale sta
tion, and is connected with the Junction
Bailroad bridge leading to Herr's Island,
and is used in transporting cattlo trains to
the abattoir. Under the trestle is an eight
inch gas pipe of the Allegheny Heating Com
pany. At 10 o'clock in the morrrtng a break oc
curred in the main. Some time after shift
ing engine Xo. 86, w.ith James Walters as en
gineerand Charles Smiley, fireman, passed
over the trestle. A spark from the engine
limited the gas and an explosion occurred.
The fire blew up, burning Smiley badly
nbont the face. Walters escaped. The
trestle caught fire in an instant.
The Columbia and Ellsworth engine com
panies were called out, but whn the scene
was reached it was found necessary to lav
the line of hose part of the way up Troy Hill
to secure water and in this nearly an hour's
time was lost. When a stream was brought
into play the flames were easily gotten un
der control and prevented Jroin spreading
further. It Is a wooden trestle and part of
the way is or double width. It is at this
point where the fire was and it extended 75
feet.
For some time past work has been done in
laying a new track parallel with tho tretlo
to'connect also with the Junction road. Yes
terday 150 additional men ere sent to has
ten this work nnd It is thought that to-day
it will be finished, thus opening the way
again ror the Pittsburg and Western road to
reach Herr's Island.
IT WAS TOO REAL.
An Actress Objects "o Love-Making Both
On and Off the Stage Her Husband
Thrashes a Too Zealous Actor Chaper
oned rjy the Police.
A Pittsburg policeman was relieved from
an unpleasant duty yesterday by the de
parture from this city of an actress whose
stage Dime is Anna Boyle, but who claims
to be the wife of Charles Moore, an actor.
The officer was employed during last week
in escorting the woman from tho Seventh
Avenue Hotel to the Grand Opera House,
where she played as leading lady in the
"Vendetta" company, and back again to the
hotel at the close of the show.
Tho reason of this chaperonage was the
fear of the lady of bodilv harm at the hands
of Genffrev Stein, also of the same company.
Miss Boyle is the leading lady of the coin
panv, and in her part accepts the attentions
of the lover as portrayed by Stein. She
claimed that he endeavored to enact the
same role when off the stage, which she par
ticularly disliked. This has been go
ing on for the best part of
the season, and lately when thev
were playing in Hoston, sho claims he tried
to break in the door or her room at the hotel.
Her husband. Mr. Moore, is with a company
playing "Tho Burglar," and was at Johns-'
town during the past week. Being apprised
of the state of affairs by his wile, he paid a
flying visit to the city on last Sunday night
and took Stein to task, incidentally giving
him a severe thrashing and a badly dis
figured countenance.
Fearing Stein might seek to retaliate on
his wife after he left the city, Mr. Mooro en
gaged a policeman to act as her escort and
Jirotector until the close of her engagement
lere. Saturday night Mrs. Moore, or Boyle,
severed her connection with the company
and returned to Xew York, while it con
tinues on its Western trip. Mrs. Moore was
formerly a leading 'member of Thomas
Keeue's Company, s
WILXIAII ATJBEBY LOCATED.
A Much-Wanted Young Man Living in Style
in Cleveland.
That much-looked-for youngman, William
Anbrey, who is accused of playing with
various Pittsburg firms' confidences, has at
last been located, arid all that is now neces
sary is for him to be brought back to this
city for trial. Aubrey has been found in
Cleveland, O., where he is living at a first
class hotel and conducting himself as a man
ot means.
The young man is wanted for embezzling
some $2,000 from the Keystone Butter Com
panv, which had business reverses and
finally failed some two months ago. Anbrev
has quite a record here in Pittsburg, both
among commission men and a fast crowd of
voung follows with whom Aubrevasociated.
He is about 27 years of age, handsome and a
careful dresser.
Some five years ago Aubrey was employed
as salesman for the Western Dairy Com
pany and making good sales and bringing
in considerable business, the firm reposed
more or less confidence in him. Aubrey
made the most of this and within a very
short time the firm was some $5,0C0 out.
Anbiey was taxed with having em
bezzled the money, but in some manner
he escaped letral punishment. A short time
later he seemed employment as salesman
with the Cliartiers Creamery Companv. and
after inuring himself in the good graces of
Ills new employers embezzled $100. For this
second crime he was arrested, spent two
juuiiHH in jnn, uub c3utitu u penitentiary
sentence npon friends Interceding with his
employers and the prosecution was dropped.
Xext he was incarcerated for four months in
the workhouse upon a disgraceful charge,
and upon being released began work for the
Keystone Butter Company. In his position
as salesman and collector he secured, it is
alleged, about $2,000 and npon hearing that
he was about to be arrested left Pittsburg
within two honrs. Since then the police
have been on the ontlook for him, but until
last week with but little success.
"WOULD-BE GLOBE TK0TTEBS.
A Fair or Cleveland fads Whoso Ambitions
Were Crashed.
Warden McAleese has under his caro two
boys from Xcwburg, Cleveland, whoso
parents are no doubt distracted over their
disappearance. Tho boys were picked up in
this city several days ago while wandering
aimlessly about, andiMagistrate Gripp sent
them to jail for ten days as vagrants on
their representation that they were orphans
from Chicago and had no money, home or
friends.
When they were taken to jail they con
tinued telling this story, but when they
realized that they might be sent to Morganza
under the circumstances they made a clean
breast of their Identity. Their proper names
are James McAllister, aged 15 years, and
Thomas Richards, aged 13. The latter's
Barents have a hotel at 90 Stafford street.
IcAlllster's people live on Osage street. He
stole $21 from his mother a week ago and
takimr the younger boy along started out to
see the world, stopping at several small
towns en route to this citv. They new each
bedecked in gaudy neckties and scarf pins,
which had used up considerable of their
cash and seemed rather out or place with
tho balance of their attire. Their living ex-
enses had reduced the balance so that they
lad but 16 cents between them when ar
rested. Both the lads are now heartllv
homesick, and promise never to run away
again if they can get back to Cleveland.
WAK ON SPEAX-EASIES.
Two Well-Known Proprietors ArrcitedTes
terday for Illegal Liquor Selling.
The police department yesterday con
tinued their raids on speak-easy proprietors.
About 9 o'clock yesterday morning Samuel
Hlnes. of 30 Maddox alley, was arrested by
Lieutenant Gallant and locked'up for keep
ing a disorderly house. At 9 o'clock last
night Mrs. Sherry, of 10 Second avenue, was
arrested ny Detective Shore for the same
offense-' Mrs. Sherry was subsequently re
leased on a forfeit of $100 put up by iier
lriends.
SHOT AND KISSED HER.
Colored Men Have a Very lively Time In
Sweeney's Const.
There were lively times in Sweeney's court
on the hill last night. Walter Dallas and
Frank Morrison, colored, got into nn argu
ment over a woman, and during the row one
of the men pulled out a revolver and fired at
Sadie Jones, but did not hither. Lieutenant
Scott heard or the shooting and raided the
bouse, arresting the two men and four
women, who were locked up in tho Eleventh
ward station.
FUEL OF THE FUTURE.
tf9A
Pittsbur-j to Be Supplied With Manu
factured Gas for Heating.
COSTS MORE'THAN NATURE'SFUEL
Some of the Difficulties and Dangera let
to Ee Overcome.
TWO POPULAR FALLACIES EXPOSED
The time is coming, according to' general
opinion, when natural gas will give out in
this section. There is no need, however,
when the calamity occurs, for Pittsburgers
to return entire!- to the nse of coal, unless
they waut to. Gas can be made from oil
and coal in sufficient quantities for domestic
consumption, but the rates, to be sure, will
be a little higher than at present, unless
the process of producing fuel gas should be
greatly improved and cheapened. Manu
factured gas is now being used to some ex
tent in Buffalo and New Xork with consid
erable success.
The attention of Pittsburgers is drawn to
the fuel gas question at this time by the
statement of Fred E. Saward before the
New York Senatorial Committee that manu
factured gas is now being mixed and forced
into the pipes in Pittsburg with the natural
fluid from the earth. If this is true, it
wonld be a great surprise, but it was
( promptly denied by officials of the Philadel
phia Company, who laughed at the idea.
Mr. "Westinghonse, with his Southside
plant, demonstrated that fuel gas could be
rtrede, but its economic consumption is far
from being solved. The greatest difficulty
experienced was in trying to pipe the stuff
Fnel Gas Frodnced From Lima Oil.
However, a Philadelphia Company official
some time ago threw out the hint that as a j
last resort they had in view a scheme to
produce gas out ot Lima oil. The Standard
Oil Company claims this filthy fluid will
make an excellent fuel.
J. R. McGinley, of the Allegheny Heat
ing Company, was yesterday shown the
statement made by Mr. Seward before the
New York committee. "It is qneer," said
Mr. McGinley, "'what funny ideas people
have about gas. Why, this Is as absurd as
the story that air is ."sometimes forced into
the natnral as pipes. The public doesn't
know that such an operation wonld be very
dangprous, and would end in the town being
blown up. To begin with, manufactured gas
costs $1 per 1.000 feet while natural gas can
be had for 20 cents for the same
amonnt. It wouldn't be good business
pollcyito mix them when enough natuml
cnsatSO cents can be obtained. But It Is
impossible to mix artificial and natural gas.
The first requires from 5 to 6 parts of air to
burn it, but the natural gas must have from
12 to IS parts. You take off the natural cas
mixer in vour ranre, and see how sluggishly
the gas will burn, nut supply it with the
necesary amount of air, ana It will flare up
and be lntenseiv nctive. Again, the natural
gas pressure in"Plttsbnrg ranges from threo
ounces up to threo pounds and more In
places.
Impossible to Mix the Two.
"Over in Allegheny the average pressure
is from three to four ounces, but the press
ure on artificial gas is only a half ounce, and
the makers have hard work to get up this
much force. Xow what would be the result
if we tried tofnix the two gases. The natural
fluid would push the lighter gas back Into
the holders with a rush. It would be im
possible to get tho parts together. It think
tms explanation will convince any man mac
Mr. Saward has been misinformed about
Pittsburg gus.
"Where the fuel gas is made and ued on
the spot, the result Is satisfactory, but it is
not as cheap as na'nral gas. Calvin
Wells and other mill owners use
fuel gas in their works, but there
isn't one of them who would not prefer nat
ural gas if they could get it. The problem
with the fuel ths is to pipe it. Pressure is
needed. Mr. Westinghonse laid a line from
his plant on the'Soutbside to A. M. Uyers
mill. The gas was mnQ6 aiid Mr. Byers used
it. bnt it was an expensive fuel in compari
son with natnral gas, and he abandoned It.
The plant supplied Attorbury's glass fac
tory nearby for a long time, put it didn't
Say to yun "the works for Mr. Atterbnry's
enefltwhenhe conld get all the natural
ras he wanted for $100 per month. The plpo
line to Byers' mill demonstrated that
some kind of a strong machinery was neces
sary to force the artificial gas through the
pipes. The time Is coming, to be sure, when
we will nse manufactured gas in Pittsburg,
but it will be made and distributed on an
extensive scale. Engine houses like power
honses will be built to produce the necessary
pressure.
Too Much Like Poor Whisky.
"Peoplecome to me and show me how
they can make 85.0C0 feet of gas out of a ton
of coal. It can be done, but what kind of
stnffisitmadrof. It is like making three
barrels of whisky out of a busheT of grain.
It would be a mighty poor and weak drink.
The same is true of nrriflcial gas. It
hasn't the ingi edients. Artificial gas can be
made and soid for$l per 1.090 feet. With the
proper kind of burner a little will go a long
way. By placing the stove in tho center of
a room I can heat it with a small quantity or
gas. Stoves are made to burn trom 5 to 10
feet of gas per hour. A great many of them
are used in Atlantic Citv. and the pconle
bum tho Illumlnatlne gas. I heated my cot
tage there for my fatnllv all last winter In
this way, and my gas bill wasn't more than
$20 per month.
"People must use economic burners. Too
much of the fuel is wasted and goes up the
chimneys. Xow, I claim our system of burn
ers is all wrong, but improvements are
being made constantly to lessen the cost and
consumption. You know that natural gas In
itself is very cheap, but the expense is in
curred In piping it. When the natnral gas
falls, the Philadelphia Companv will have
an excellent plant for piping manufactured
gas. The pipes are so large.
Evils of Artificial Fnel Gas.
"Considerable money is used up, also, in
refining artificial gas. All the tar and nox
ious ingredients must be taken out, or In a
short time the pipes will be choked up with
the deposits. Besides, unrefined manu
factured gas is very poisonous,
and would be Injurious to health. Still it is
true we will be using artificial gas in tho
In tine, but will not beas cheap oras satis
factory as the gas God has given u in the
earth." Howover, e don't bnrn gas because
it is cheap. I nse illuminating gas in my
house, but kerosene lamps or tallow candles
would do the woik and cost less. Con
venience and lack of dirt are items that
must not be overlooked.
"I am not one of those who believe that
natural gas is about exhausted, I think we
will have it for sonio years to come. Where
the oil operations are so exten
sive aud successful, there is sure
to be gas. The other day I
asked Superintendent George Brown, of the
Philadelphia Company, how many wells he
had drilled in wild-catting during the year.
He replied very few. He said he found it
cheaper to sit around and buy them from oil
men. The company has bought wells from
J. M. Guffey and other operators. Gas has
been discovered near Verona, back of Alle
gheny, down in Coraopolis and in other
fields. The location of the wells shows there
is plenty of gas in tho territory, and the
Philadelphia Company is now drilling,
knowing that they are sure to strike it."
A Child Kan Down on Forbes Street.
Sadie Samuels, aged 1 years, was knocked
down and seriously injured yesterday after
noon by Duquesne Traction car No. 32 on
Soho hill, near Murphy street. About 2
o'clock the little gill was playing on Forbes
street and just as the car was coming down
the steep grade the little one started across
the street. Tho car struck the child and
knocked her down, but the motorman man
aged to stop before the lront truck 'passed
over her. The child was picked up and car
ried in an unconscious condition to Dr. Mil
ler's office. Her head was badly cut and her
right arm hroken at the wrist. The parents
ot tiie child Jive on Cornet street.
Got Oft n lth Light Fines. '
Saturday night Lieutenant Blchards
raided an alleged disorderly house, kept by
John Yeudell, on Stockholm avenue. The
proprietor, his wife, and three visitors were
captured. At the hearing vesterday Yendell
and his wife were fined $5 and costs each,
William Harens, a visitor, who is a cripple,
was -discharged. Tug Wilson and James
Adawaj were fined $3 and costs each.

THE SEASON OPENED.
All or Pittsburg and Allegheny's Pleasure
Resorts Were Visited by Big Crowds
Testerday Schenley Park Comes
' Through the Winter In Good Shape.
Sehenley Park Received the first 'visitors
of the season yesterday, and lor the time of
year and the kind of weather it can be said
the first day was a big one. People com
menced to stroll Into the park early in the
morning, and thev kept it up until the heavy
rain commenced in the evening. ,
Superintendent McKnight had anticipated
a great many visitors, and on Saturdav Had
all the roadways scraped. They would all
have been in excellent shape, had not it
ruined so heavily yesterday morning. As it
was, a large number of people were out in
their carnages and drove nil over the park.
The greater number came on font, and
they all made a tour of the gronnds.
The animals were visited bv nearly every
one. They art all looking well nnd show
tney nave ocen wen careti ior annus tne
winter. The ones that have been kept in the
city this winter have not been taken out to
the park yet, but will be before the last of
this month.
Panther Hollow seemed to be a favorite
resort for the visitors.- All day long parties
searched along its Bteep, rocky sides for
spring flowers, or hunted cool resting places
bv the xlde or the little stream which rushes
down the rnvino.
The Allegheny Parks were . overflowing
with people, yesterday. In the afternoon be
tween 3,000 and 4,000 people visited the con
servatories. It was impossible to get a seat
in the park.
Pietty Highland Park also had a big open
ing. The children were in a majority and
they were allowed to run at will.
AH EVENING WITH SPIBIT8,
An Eastern Medium Describes Shades Visi
ble to Himself Alone.
The hopes of hearing from long dead loved
ones filled the First Church of Spiritualists
at Xo. C Sixth street last night, as the "best
test medium in tho East," Edgar W. Emer
son, of Manchester, X. H., was to be pres
ent. The disciples ot the mystic belief wore
eminently credulous looks and store-made
or home-made garments. They were not
scoffers, and, while Medium Emerson told of
the countless shades who glided about the
heated hall with golden letters and flaming
names about their hazy forms, the listeners
let their lront hair stand up most re
ligiously. Mr. Emerson had & nice maidenlv voice, a
trifle shrill perhaps, and a black Prince Al
hert. He folded his hands together over his
broad, white shirt bosom, and told or fairy
like girls, with vgreat bunches of violets" in
their cloud v hands, and nlns,sucli as mortals
use. and grav-haired men, and sad-eyed
mothers and happy boys and girls, wrapping
theirarms about various peoples' necks,and
sitting in vaiious peoples' laps and
bidding everybody hope And one
very enterprising shade entered into
predictions and told fome lady In somber
black and tears that she had better not
move until fall, as spring movin-ra would
not be advisable. Then someone else in the
audienc-. also In black and also In tears, be
sought the medium to ask the shade of Mrs.
Timothy whether her husband, who is now
languishing In a gloomy cell, rcallv did beat
her to death. But the medium's brain had
become tired and he Raid he needed rest.
Then lie put his watch to his forehead to
see what time It was, and everybody went
home.
SHOT THB0UGH A CAB.
Two Passengers on the Valley Bond Have a
Very Narrow Escape.
Somebody fired a shot through n passenger
ear on train 31 of the Allegheny Valley road
last evening between Forty-third and Forty
fourth streets. It was a local coming to the
city. The bullet passed through one window
and out the other. A nun and his
wife were sitting In the eat by
the window and thev were hadlyfrightened.
The'ball whizzed pist their faces a little
too close for comfort. The facts were re
ported to the depot police, but so Jar no
arrests have been made. The officers think
it was either an accident or the work of
bovs.
The limited had a narrow escape from be
ing wrecked in the Badehaugh tunnel, u short
distance west of Gieensburg, last evening.
A rock fell down and struck the smoking
dar with a crash. The men in the coach
thought their time had come and hope the
scare will never be repeated. The train was
f;oing at a very high rate of speed. The
Imitcd was stopped, but, It was found that
the car was not damaged to any extent. The
express was behind about 15 minutes.
SUSPECTED OF LAKCENT.
George Arnold Charged With Taking Two
Watches by Fred Htllsteln.'-
George Arnold was arrested yesterday In
Allegheny by Detective Johnson on a charge

MARRIAGE A SUCCESS.
Kev. E. fi. Donehoo Preaches a Ser
mon in Fayor of Wedlock.
WHERE TRUE HAPPINESS IS FOUND.
Dr.
Sutherland Talks on the Incredible
Things in Life.
TOPICS TOUCHED BI CITI PABTOES
Bev. E, K. Donehoo, of the Eighth Pres
byterian Church, preached last evening on
the subject, "Is Marriage a Failure?" The
text was, "Therefore shall a man leave his
father and mother and shall cleave onto his
wife, and they shall be one flesh." In 'the
course of his remarks he said:
"Some people declare marriage a failure
from personal experience. They have
made a trial of it and discovered to
their sorrow and humiliation that its hopes
were delusive and its promised joys empty
and vain. Others, again, are ready to decide
in the same way from the fact that they
have fully investigated the question, col
lected statistics and collated facts bearing
on the natter and have been constrained to
the conclusion that it would be better if the
entire institution was abolished, since it
only tends to embitter man's happiness and
11 the world with lamentations. Others
have nothing to say openly on the subject,
but from their actions they have made up
their minds that they will never allow
themselves to be caught in any such cruel
trap, since they have seen enough to satisfy
them that marriage is a delusion and a
snare. There are still others who seem not
to have made up their minds on the subject.
To Wed or Not to Wed.
"The perplexing question with them is to
wed or not to wed. They would give a good
deal to know for a certainty how the matter
stands, and whether, if they once venture
upon the sea of matrimony, they may not
bitterly repent their rash act and vainly
long to get safely back to the firm and inde
pendent estate of blissful bachelordom.
The question, therefore, "which is still open
for discussion is, 'Is marriage a failure?' If
it is, then those silly people who are show
ing an inclination to plunge into its miser
ies should be promptly warned ere they
pitch headlong into the fatal whirlpool,
while those who are floundering in the
dreadrul abyss should be rescued before It
shall be eternally too late.
"The following arc some of the reasons
why I think that mania go is not a failnre.
First, because it was originally established
by the all-wise Creator, who instituted it for
man's highest comfort and welfare in this
life. It is true tlint man may nnd often does
mar the work of God and convert his rich
est blessings into a curse, but It must not be
conceded that God erred in the matter. It
was the Lord who gave a helpmate to Adam
and lie it was who solemnized thoir mar
riage vows in the bowers of Paradise. He it
was who defined its nature, its conditions,
its continuance, its purpose and obligations.
The twain were to be trom the moment of
union one flesh and this relation was to take
precedence over all other earthly ties.
A Decree of the Almighty.
"It was to be regarded in the nature of a
contract binding alike on both parties until
death should terminate the relation. This
was God's method ot perpetuating the raco
and peopling tho world. The man, there
fore, who says that marriage is a failure ar
rays himself against the sovereign decree of
the Almighty, and in effect says that his wis
dom is superior to God's.
"Second, the history of marriage is an in
dorsement of the wisdom of Him who insti
tuted this blessed i elation. Wherever its
nature and obligatious have been under
stood and respected, there peace and con
tentment have found a congenial place in
which to bring to perfection their richest
fruits. Wherever the marital relation has
been disregarded, or its Just obligations
Ignored, there innumerable evils .have
sprung np and flourished, and happiness has
spread its wings for a long flight from tho
accursed scene.
"Third, the arguments so often employed
to prove that marriage is a failure are by no
means conclusive. Whenever tho subject Is
mooted the opponents keep croaking in
monotonous retrain, 'Just look at the num
ber of divorces that are daily granted. Does
this not show conclusively what a miserable
thing marriage it (Read the scandals that
are thus laid bare, of domestic infelic
ity, unfaithfulness, incompatablllty of
disposition, the terrible arraignment
of husbands or wives who have
hesitated at nothing short ot
muider to free themselves fiom bated
bonds?' I conceed that if one would spend
their time in the divorce courts, those ot
Chicago for instance, thev would naturally
conclude that the crying evil ot to-dav Is the
celebration of nuptial ties, and the one
Eanacea for the woes which afflict poor
urdened humanity, is the nreeirins docu
ment with the broad seal of the court npon
it, which sots tlio two belligerent parties
free to follow out their inclinations without
fear or favor.
Some Marriages Are a Mistake.
-'I do not deny that there are parties who
enter upon this relation who ought never to
have done so. aud that It would be bettor
for all concerned that they should be separ
ated, but this does not prove that all mar
riages are necessarily unhappy. Count over
for yourselves how many unhappy mar
riages have passed under your own experi
ence. I feel assured that you can enumerate
on your fingers all the marriages in which
the divorce was the proper remedy. When
you have made the enumeration nnd
added to it all the married couples
whom you have good reasons to suspect
do not live as happily together as they
would have done separately, yon will dis
cover the sum total when compared with
the multitudes whom you see living har
moniously together, will compare as 1 to
10,000. The men who drift into our prisons
cannot trace their misfortunes to the in
fluences of married life, but rather to the
fact that they proved unfaithful to their
marriage vows, treated with contempt the L
privileges ana oiessings wnicn were assured
them in the married state and cruelly de
serted the woman whom they had sworn to
love, honor and cherish. It is not marriage
that drags men down andconverts the earth
into pandemonium, but the folly and greed
and licentiousness of wicked men and no
less wicked women who cast reproach npon
this holy and Blessed ordinance which the
Heavenly Father established for the well
being and perpetuity of the race."
INCREDIBLE THINGS IK LIFE.
Slownrsi ot Mankind to Profit by the
tes-
sons of History.
Dr. Sutherland, of the Second Presbyterian
Church, in speaking of "Tb Incredible
Tilings in Life" last night, among other
things said: "Is it not wonderful how slow
we are to profit by tho lessons of history nnd
experience. We constantly see the best
laid plans of shrewd men failing and yet we
go on making new islans as if nothing could
come in to disturb them nnd render all our
efforts of no avail. We are not wise in thus
shutting our eyes to the lessons of ex
perience. No man can accurately forecast
or provide with absolute certainty against
all possible contingencies. No matter how
careful and calculating n man may be, his
wealth may be swept away as with a flood.
We have constantly recurring illustrations
of this. The mighty tornado suddenly and
irresistibly sweeps down upon a town or
city and leaves ruin and desolation in Its
track. Prosperous business men who felt
secure in their possessions, and easy in
their circumstances, are now homeless,
penniless and dispirited. Their friends
sympytbisje with them and it may be help
them, but still the sense of loss so sudden
and unexpected all but masters them, for
the time being at least.
"Now why should we not make a religious
use of these events just as we do'ot the
events we And in the Bible? The Bible his
tory is given us to show us how we should
use" tho history wc are making ourselves.
There is really no such tiling as what people
call "profane history." God is in all the
events of life. It is not an unusual thing to
meet in our great cities poor men who wore
once worth thousands and even hundreds of
thousands of dollars. The supilses come In
both ways In the line of prosperity and ad
versity. We perhaps notice tne one more
than the other, Both are facts."
Too Mnch Work, Not Enongh Rest;
Bey. J. B. Koehno preached another of his
popular sermons at the Grand Opera House
to a large crowd last evening. His subject
was "Best." He said the aim of the reformer
and the Inventor is to assist humanity, to
give them more rest. Men stand by
the open grave and Imagine that
the dead have gone to rest, but
the living have no desire to die to have
more ease. Every invention that relieves
labor is a blessing, and gives people more
time for self culture. This was the trend of
Mr. Koehne's remarks and he concluded by
pointing his audience to Jesus as the giver
of perfect rest.
BAVI0B OF SIHHEBSL
The Christian Religion the Only Straight
Boad to Salvation.
At the Allegheny B, P. Church yesterday
afternoon Prof. D. B. Wlllson preached from
the text, "Jesus came Into the world to save
sinners." He showed that Jesus was typical
as the Savior of sinners in the sacrifice offer
ing of the Hebrews, and how the prophesies
foretold him as the true Savior, especially
the fifty-third chapter of Isaiah. Jesus laid
npon himself the iniquity of all, and offered
np his life as a sacrifice for the sins of the
people. The very nnme Jesus signifies that
he shall save sins. John the Baptist came
before Christ to prepare the way for Jesus
and annonnco his coming. He (John) did
not present Jesus as the greatest of all men,
but as an humble person who would serve as
mediator between God and man. The
speaker declared one religion is not as good
a another. The Christian religion is the
only true religion. It was in the lead under
the Boman Empire, and is In the lead to-day
among the enlightened people oT the globe.
There Is but one Jesus, and but one true re
ligion. THE FALL OF BABYLON.
A Sermon on the Fulfillment ot Biblical
Prophecies.
The hlstor of the awful fall of Babylon
was most vividly recounted last night at
Christ Church, by the Kev. Dr. G. W. Izer.in
delivering the eighth sermon of the series
npon the subject of "The Bible in the Nine
teenth Century." Inanintensely Interesting
manner Dr. Izer told of the grand feast of
Belshazzar, when everyone was feasting
and reveling in wicked enjoyment, and the
abrupt arrival of the frightened messenger
with the dread news of Darius and his
mighty host taking the city by entering It
In' the channel of the Euphrates river,
which had been turned from its course, in
the fulfillment of Daniel's prophecy made
200 years before, while the city was in the
zenith of her wicked glory. "And so will
all other Biblical prophecies be fulfilled be
fore this world goes into space," concluded
the pastor.
Where the Young Man Is Not Found.
Last night at the North Avenue M. E.
Church Rev. W. S. Lockard preached to a
large Congregation, taking for his subfecf,
"Is the Young Man Safe?" He said: ,"Tho
devil has a great desire to capture the best
of the land, now well he succeeds we all
know. Our streets and places of amusement
are crowded with young men, but in the
churches they are conspicnous by their ab
sence. Society allows young men privileges
that their sisters can'fhave. Tho social scale
is so low that one vouth can't "believe the
word of another. The social code may pass
a young man if he is impure, but the law of
God demands that he be a man of good
morals."
Preaching at the County JalL
Rev. J. L. MUligan, chaplain of the peni
tentiary, preached the sermon at the county
Jail yesterday. Prof. Weeden also took part
and sane a number of tolos that were doubt
less appreciated.

END OF A LONG STRIKE
Secretary 0'Day, of the International
Bricklayers' Union,
TEYIKG TO BEACH A COMPROMISE.
Good Prospects for a Bust Building Season
lb Is Summer.
FIFri MEN DISCHARGED AT BEADDOOI
Before the week closes the end of the
long-drawn-out strike of the Bricklayers
Union of Pittsburg maybe reached. It was
a strike that cost J50,000' and one that was
bitterly fought. -
For the past week .Secretary O'Day, of
the International Bricklayers" Union, has
been in this city trying to effect a settle
ment of the strike. Of his business and suc
cess, Edwin C McGraw, of the firm of Mc
Graw Bros., brick manufacturers, last night,
said:
"2Ir. O'Day has had a conference with
the strike committee of the Builders' Ex
change, and he is in favor of bringing the
trouble to an end. He suggested that the
Exchange would yield one point and the
union the other nine. He was promptly
informed that the Exchange wonld not sub
mit to any compromise. It had stood the
battle last year and could keep it np for an
indefinite period.
Bricklayers Willing to Compromise.
"Mr. O'Day went over the books of local
Union No. 2. He had been told from time
to time that the men were all standing firm,
bnt the examination of -the books did not
carry one reports. It has been reported
since Mr. O'Day came here that if a suitable
compromise conld not effected the nat
ional organization would extend aid to pro
long the strife. This is foolishness, inas
much as the National body has not given the
Pittsburg men a cent directly. The con
stitution of the union says that more than
three or four unions cannot go on a strike at
one time. If tbey wish to draw benefits from
the National body. It is well known that a
dozen or more unions went out at once last
May. Of course the Pittsburg men have
received a vrent deal of money, probably as
much as $50,000. Most of it came through
donations. Unions all over the country
wouia vote to sena sums to tne reiiei oi tne
Pittsburg men, but the national body could
not send one cent.
What the Men Struck For.
"The strike was a foolish one from its in
ception. Most of the men were receiving $4
and $4 50 n day for their work, and where
the man was exceptionally good be was paid
$3. These are good wages, but the
men thought they all ought to
have $4 50, and so they struck.
Then they did another foolish thing in
trying to bring out the hod-carriers. I am
glad to sav that the hod-carriers did not
come out, but kept on working.
"To-morrow the bnilding season will
open in Pittsburg and Allegheny, and
I think there are brighter prospects
in this line than there has
been for years. I do not look for any labor
troubles ibis year, but even if thereare they
will avail their organization nothing. The
Builders Exchange of Pittsburg has come
to stay, and every day it Is making its organ
ization more effective.
Ready With Outside Labor.
"Last year the strikers made themselves
felt early in the game, but this year they
would stand no show. Every brick con
tractor in the city of Pittsburg has a re
source of outside labor to draw from on a
(lay's notice. Everyone of them has a list
or from 8 to 15 good" bricklayers, whom they
can summon at any time.
"The building season Is being kept back
considerably this year by the bad streets.
In many parts of the city it is impossible to
haul materials. Excavations are also pro
gressing slowly for the same reason. I know
there is much to be done from the fact that
so many orders are being placed lor bnild
ing materials. The brickmakers belonging
to the Brinkmakers' Exchange all report
that they have sold their outputs for the
next four months in advance."
