rwwTI! -531 a- t V THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH "WEDNESDAY, APRIL N6, 189a 10 75F LOOTED BY BOBBERS. City Attorney Moreland Declares That the Municipality Is AT THE JIEKOY OP SYNDICATES. Closing the litigation Over the Purchase of Fire Engines. ARGUMENTS IN THE AMOSKEAG CASE Final argument was commenced yester day in the Silsby-Amoskeag fire engine case before Georce P. Hamilton, the mas ter. George V. Guthrie appeared for H. E. Saflord, a taxpayer, and others, who are the plaintiffs, and Major "V. C Moreland argued for the city. Testimony has been taken for a period covering three years, and it now looks as if the long-drawn-out contest will soon be brought to a close. The evidence as it was given from time to time was fully published in The Dispatch, and it is needless to remark that much valuable space has been given up to the irequent engine tests, with which the read ing public is so familiar. When and Where the Trouble Began. Chief Brown purchased two extra large sized Amoskeag engines lor the fire depart ment about three years ago. The Silsby Company, through Mr. Safford, claimed the specifications were so worded as to shut out all competition, and in a bill in equity they specifically charged fraud. Judge White granted a preliminary injunction, but It was soon afterward lifted bvtheSnpremo Court. The cost of the Amoskeas: engines was $10,000, jrnt a cent of which lias been paid up to date, and the interest on the money amounts to $I,S00, all of which tho city will have to pay sooner or later. Meanwhile, pending the litigation, the Amoskeair en pines have been in use, and Major Moreland claims they have siven eminentsatisfaction. The pi-eater part of the day was taken up with the argument of counsel in Mr. Hamil ton's office. Nobody was present but the master, the lawyers, Mr. Safford and a few reporters. Neither side finished, and the ar guments will be resumed on Thursday. George W. Guthrie, in his presentation of the case lor the plaintiffs, made these law points: The Arguments of the 1'lalntlCfs. Chief Brown had no authority to purchase engines, and the city never authorized him. Contracts binding the city can't bo made without ordinances, and any city official raying out money without an appropriation is guilty of a crime. The evidence shows that the fire department was authorized to have It engines; that at the 'titno or the transaction complained of it had Ifl engines in actlvo use without count ing several more held as reserves, and that there bad never been an ordinance authorizing the purchase of these engines. Mr. Guthrie claimed the advertisement was so worded as to exclude all contention, as no comwiny could furnish an engine that would answer tho specification"" except the Manchester Engine Company. lie then re viewed the evidence in an exhaustive man ner, nnd at times his remarks were quite sarcastic, as, on the other hand, Major More land's were oltcn facetious. Mr. Guthrie referred to the complaint of Chief Brown that in case different styles of engines were bought it would bo impossible to transfer the engineers, as they would not be familiar with the workings of the new ones. To this Mr. Guthrie replied that Chief Brown's men testified that engineers are seldom transferred, nnd the work is not so difficult hut that it can be learned in a short time. The Chief also testified that the Silsby engines couldn't be repaired in Pittsburg. The fact is none of the engines ale repaired here, and if a part Is broken it is made at the works and sent'to the city. Two Questions by the Complainants. Continuing, Mr. Gutbrio said: "The two main questions arc: Had these parties a right to make such a contract? and, if they had, wouldn't it be a ground for an injunc tion? If the injunction should be granted Mr. Brown and the Manchester Locomotive Works must look out for he engines pur chased. Let the ax fall where it will; thoso whom it cuts must stand the pair.." Major Moreland, even before a few, is dramatic in manner, and he made a lengthy speech in which he explained the formation or the city government and the rights and powers delegated to the heads ot depart ments. He showed that the Board of Awards consists of the Mayor and the three chiefs: that in themselves they haven't the authority to make contracts. This belongs to Councils, the legis lative body. Major Moreland said: 'I am glad this cae is finally coming before a judicial tribunal to be tried and de termined. For nearly three years it has been tried ex parte in the newspapers, pos sibly lor the effect it will have on the Master. The act of 1SS7 confers on the city officers, as well as the Mayor, the power to act for their departments. I take issue with the other side that these men are mere hirelings, and that the Mayor has the authority to lav his hands on them and direct their affaire. They have authority conferred upon them like tho Mayor. Constitutional Limit to City Debt 'There-is a constitutional limit on munici pal indebtedness. It is a question whether we arc up to the limit or not. If the sinking fund is counted out, we are up to the limit, but if it is allowed as an honest credit, wo still have $4,000,000 to go on. Sow every year estimates are made by the beads of the departments for the next 12 months. The first thing considered is the amount of inter est nnd other fixed charges to be raised. The Chiefs enumerate in their estimates to Councils what is needed. It lies with Councils to say what they will give for the year. At the beginning of this fiscal year we have estimates of $3,000,000 ap propriated for the expenditures of the city. Of this sum $500,000 is donated to the Depart ment or l'ublic Safety. It is not subject to the Chiefs warrant. The law says that for anything costing more than $50 it must he advertised and let to the lowest bidder. That law existed when these engines were purchased. The Chiefs of the departments loroied a federation to open bids received by the Controller iroin the public. They haven't the authority to make awards. "Under the act of 1SS7 the Chier or tho De partment or Public balety is held responsible lor the police and lire. lie has full control of them. Tho Chief in buying engines con fessed that he was a novice in the business. He advettised, according to law, and this Is tho most pernicious law governing cities ever enacted. The city can't make us 'good a contract as an individual. Why? Because when she buvsshelsalways confronted with an organized syndicate, Christian'robbors, highwaymen, if you please." Guthrie That is a good reason why an injunction should be granted. Compiled Strictly With the Law. Moreland But it can't be done. The pur chase of these engines was made according to law. The business was properlv adver tised. The advertisement contained a num ber of specifications. The testimony shows that there isn't an engino factory in tho country that couldn't have built them, but instead of that, with tho exception ot tho Amoskeag, the manufacturers said thev would make tho engines to conform to the snecifications. Their engines were plas tered over with patents, and each claimed some peculiarity that made their en gines better than any other. If we had bought one there would havo been endless suits lor damages. The Amos keag Company was the only one that even attempted to coulorm to the specifications laid down. The other people never offered what the city wanted. Mr. Moreland asked tho Master to put himself in Chief Brown's place, and wnat bo would have done under the circum stances. "Tho other side says roadvertisc: but what good, to have the same thing re peated a few weeks hence? Tnero was no competition, if you please. "There was no choice. There was no pre tense at bidding on the part of the other companies lor what was advertised. The Amoskeag engines had been in use here lor 30 years, and they havo done their work well. This is admitted by everybody who is honest. But here is a new engine presented. You don't know anything about it. Does it make a man a thief to give f 1,000 more for a machine that he knows has been tried? Wouldn't yon rather pay $10 more lor a suit of clothes to a man yo'i know than to buy a cheap one irom a stranger. Experience, would teach a man to do so. Denying the Charges of Fraud. "In the bill in equity it is averred that the price paid for the engines was exorbitant; that the contract was fraudulent. The lower court granted an injunction on this ground, which was lilted by tho Supreme Court This action has eliminated the ele ment of fraud from the case. Kot one of tho witnesses Iirs suggested anything to show fraud. If there is no Iraud. then the. plaintiff has no standing. Judge White in his opinion said no doubt the Department of Awards acted honestly and Judge Mageo concurred. "The plaintiff should specify some act showing that the award was made fraudu lently. Tho engines were delivered, and not a cent of the $10,000 has been paid. The interest up to date has been $1,800, and the city will liave to pay. for It The engines were tried and nccepted,and they have been iu use ever since. The city has not repudi ated the contract to this day, and Is satisfied with the engines. The award was ratified by Councils, the leislatlvo power of the city." Finally.Jlr. Moreland claimed that the city of Pittsburg is not a party to the Buit, and even if a decree should be made against the Board of Awards, there Is nothing to bold tho city responsible. These men did not make the contract It was made by Coun cils, and he said he knew of no power to go back of a legislative body, unless It can be Sroven that they confederated with the oard of Awards, and then they might be held individually for damages. A BRIDEGROOM MISSING. Eev: Dr. Webster Mysteriously Deserts His Young TFlfe-Married Only a Tew Weeks, He Leaves Mrs. Webster and Cannot Do .Located Canard by Illness. Baltimore, April 5. Sjarria7. Eev. Dr. J. J. G. "Webster, one of the most prominent Methodist divines in the city, lately appointed presiding elder of this district, whose recent marriage to Miss Birdie Skinner created a mild sensation in church circles, mysteriously disappeared last night, leaving his wife waiting for him at her mother's house. It is believed that he went away while laboring under a return of the nervous trouble which prostrated him just before his marriage a few weeks ago. It was at that time thought that the determination of his wife, then Miss Birdie Skinner, to break the engagement in deference to the wishes of her own and Dr. Webster's families, had a great deal to do with his sickness. Both families then consented to the marriage, which was immediately celebrated. Dr. "Webster was a widower 60 years of age before this marriage, while his bride is but 24. They had returned a few day s ago from their wedding tour, and last night went to call on Mrs. Skinner. He left his wile here to go, as he said, to "Waverly M. E. Church, to hold a quarterly conference.. This being the first since he had been ele vated to the presiding eldership, his pres ence was important Dr. "Webster had been in the most cheer ful spirits during the day, and, at the time, gave no indication of being unwell. Short ly after that he was seen at Camden station, and it is believed he took a train for some out-of-town point. The ticket seller be lieves he sold a man answering Dr. "Web ster's description a ticket to "Washington, The young wife is disconsolate, and is using every means to find him. It is believed his mental strength and physical constitution have been run down bv overwork. BOOMS to let In desirable locations, ad vertised in Wednesday's DISPATCH.

NOEroLK, "Va., April 5. Special Tan gier Islanders, who have been attending Accomac court for the past week, on re turning home heard that Tangier Sound had been swarming with oyster pirates while they had been away. Early this morning the islanders manned several sloops and proceeded to the celebrated oyster beds, where the recent battle took place. On coming up they found a large number of boats at work on the rock. As soon as the pirates found the islanders were after them they sailed away before the wind. The islanders succeeded in captur ing one sloop, with about 50 bushels ot oys ters on board. The only persons on the sloop were Thomas Tyler, George Kaans and Edward Tyler, all of Smith's Island, Md. The islanders brought the captured boat to Onancoek this afternoon. The three men were tried at Tasley, before Judge Kelson, and sent to Accomac County Jail to await the action of the grand jury. The islanders say that while they have been attending court the pirates have stolen thousands of bushels of oysters from the Virginia waters in Tangier Sound, and that a large vessel left the sound yesterday loaded with 7,000 bushels of oysters which the pirates had taken from the Virginia waters. The islanders have their blood up, and they say they are going to exterminate the pirates. People here are asking where the Virginia oyster navy is. LEFT A WIFE IN BEADF0BD And Went to Richmond, Where He Married an Actress. Kichmond, W. Va., April 5. Special On March 22 William E. Byder, of this city, married Carrie Abbott, a variety act ress in Putnam's Theater Comique.

The police started to arrest him, but he was informed of the warrant and left the city in haste. Actors in the Comique say that he has gone to New York. The Abbott girl is heart broken. A telegram from Bradford says: W. E. Byder, who is now said to be a bigamist, is a bright young man who has spent a good portion of "his lime in the wild West. He is an ex-scout His lawful wife, who re sides on School street in this city, does not believe that her husband would be so base as to marry another woman. "Will Interest You.

One Hundred Quarts of Glycerins to Be Fat Into the Mcllnrray. WELLS STAETING AT SISTERSYILIE Two dry holes were reported in the Mo Donald field yesterday. They are both through the fifth saud. One ie located on the northwestern edge of the field, and the other is west of Noblestown. The production of the field took another spurt, and was estimated at 29,000 barrels. This is a Jump or 8,003 barrels since Satur day. The owners of old wells are using every means to get the oil nut of their wells as fast as possible, and scarcely a day goes by that several of them are not shot. Tho Forest Oil Company's No. 1, on the Jane Stewart farm, wns stirred up yesterday and went from S3 to 73 barrels an hour. J. M. GufTey. ilussell A MoMnllen shot their well on the Wettengel property, west of Oakdale, yesterday, and it increased from SO to 73 barrels an hour. Greenlee & Forst's No. 1 on the National Coal Company's property was agitated, and increased from 40 to 65 barrels an hour. The same party's No. 1 McMurnvy was re ported to be doing 125 barrels an hour, an increaso of 15 barrels an hour since the day before. Their No. 1 on the Potter lot. north of Noblestown, was showing for a ood Gordon sander last night. Tho Two Dry Holes. One of the dry boles was Greenlee & Forst's No. 1 McGrady, located about 800 feet west of Noblestown. It Is in the vicinity of Storey & Co.'s well on tho brickyard lot, whioh was also practically dry in the fifth. It is n small well In tho Gordon sand. The other dnter is GufTey & Queen's No. 8 on the H. H. Wetraore farm, northwest of Oakdale. It is a big gasser in the fifth sand, and is to be connected with the Oakdale Gas Company'sMines. Mercer ft McClurg's well, on the MeMurray seven acres, which was dry In the fifth yes terday, will be given a 100 -quart shot to-day with the hope of breaking Into some soft rock which will contain enough oil to make it a producer. The owners claim that It will maze 100 barrels n day from the Gordon sand. It was one of the biggest surprises In tho field, as it is on a direct line between two nice illth sand producers. Brown Bros., Roblson &l Co.'s No. 1 MeMur ray, which has been dropped trom the list of wells making 20 barrels an hour or more, was seportcd by one of tho owners to be mnkrnel7 barrels an hour last evening. The BearCrcek Gefining Company's No. 3 on the Campbell farm isdne in the fifth band this week. It is located only a few hundred feet southwest from the Wettengel well and its chances are first-class for a good pro ducer. Starting Some New Wells. Mercer & McClnrg have made a location for No. 2 on the MoMurray seven acres, and they also purohased the Guy property ad Joining the Wettengel on the east, and have started a rig. Greenlee ft Forst have also made several locations on the Marshall farm south and southwest of tho present developments. Brown Bros., Koblson & Co.'s No. 2, on the MeMurray, is down 1,600 feet. It is the farthest well drilling to the south at this point. The Forest Oil Company's test well, on the Stirling farm, a mile in advance to the southwest, is on top of the Gordon. The New York Oil Company's No. 2 on the Fife farm will probably get the fifth sand to day or to-morrow. It was their No. 1 Fife which opened up tho Fife pool, or as much as is known of it. Values around it havo taken a tumble within the past week, as two dry fifth Sanders have been finished up. Activity Near Sistersville.
