WHAT THE TOLICE DID TESTEEDAT
For 3 case of absolute incorrigibility
Maggie Judy, of McKeesport, furnishes
one of the most pronounced instances that
the police of this city ever had to deal with.
She was arrested at Xo. 20 Third avenue
last mcht by Detective 3IcTighe, making
the fifth lime in less than two years.
Maggie Judy is the daughter of a well-to-i
do family at McKecsport Her father holds
t responsible position in the National Tube
"Works and is one of the well-known men in
that city. Maggie, being the eldest child,
was given a good education and, until about
three years ago, was considered one
of the brightest young girls in the
town She was given everything her
fancv wished and her father's nurse could
buv, and seemed happy and contented until
just as she was budding into womanhood.
Then her whole nature seemed to change,
f he began to court evil associations, and
her manner to her parents, instead of being
respectful and kind, as it had been in the
yast. became defiant and disagreeable.
Maie Judy rirst Disappearance.
She refused to obey their wishes in every
va . and finallv capped the climax by sud
denlv disappearing from her home without
having a scrap to indicate what had be
citrc of her.
The oung girl had been taught to use
the typewriter and for a short time was era
ploiedinone of the newspaper offices in
McKecsport, and after she had gone her
j aeits supposed she had come to this city
to earn her own living. They quietly made
a search for her among the business houses
b re. hoping to find her, but intending to
let her alone if they found her conducting
brrself properly. But their search was
fruitless and finallv they learned through
an associate that she was living on Third
nvenue.
Inspector McAleese was notified, and in
a fe-r hours the girl was found and taken to
Central station, where she met her mother.
The meeting, on the mother's side, was most
affecting, and even the detective?, ac
cuMonied to such scenes as they were, could
scarcely restrain the tears.
l:o Promised to Do Better.
The girl, though only a trifle over 16, was
rirrnoved by her mother's grief, and when
confronted with a proposition either to re
tnrn to her own good home or to the Home
p th Good Shepherd at Columbus, O., she
instantly decided to go to the latter.
Iietective Coulson took her to Columbus
oe-u day. She remained there for a year,
and then professing penitence and a desire
t live a correct life wa3 given permission
to c home. Her parents, were delighted
ove- her apparent reform. They bought
her an elegant piano, fine raiment and
cvervthin; she desired, and for several
months she gave them little reason to com
piain. Finally, however, she began to
drift back to her old ways and evil com
panions, and one night "the again disap
peared. Tne police here were notified and
tl e nett day she was found at Xo. 20 Third
avenue She was placed in the Home of
the Crood Shepherd in Allegheny this time,
rut in i few weeks, in company with the
c ughtcr of a prominent oil man, escaped
fiom the institution. They were both
fiund back at 20 Third avenue a few days
luTer and returned to the Home, but a lew
w -eks afterward she again escaped, but was
r captured at the same house.
The Sisters Rrfuse to Itccelve Her.
Ti time, it was the 20th of March last,
ti.e authorities at the Home refused to ad
B.it her and the police decided to send her
f the Mnrganza Keform School, but she
iirgtred so hard and promised so much that,
tr.ughthe efforts of Sergeant Gray and
Jf ective Itobinson. who took an interest
T the srirl, her mother contented to let her
r-me home once more. It was the same
fid story over again, however, and last
1 lmrday she left her home as she had bc
i rc Last night he was lound at her old
s nmiby, No 20 Third avenue, by Detective
MrTicriie. and is now in Central Station.
The girl has a nrcporessing appearance,
1 t a refined manner, and to judge from her
1 nks one would never suspect her
h vtory was so dark. She has reached that
s age now where she cares nothing for the
fnture, and, although she abhors the idea ot
T-Iirganza, will make no promises to re
.(tiii. It is likely she will be sent there tc

FULL OF DOG BLOOD.
A Jeweler's Explanation or the Cause of Ills
Strange Actions A Demented Prisoner
Leaves a Washington County Officer la
the lurch A Wandering Woman.
There are two insane persons at the Cen
tral station and the police are looking for
another who escaped lrom an officer on Sat
urday. Captain TJnterbaum had a queer experi
ence with a young inebriate on Smithfield
street last night As he crossed Seventh
avenue the Captain passed the young fel
low who was walking quietly along, but the
instant the officer's back was turned he
wheeled and jumped upon hira barking like
a dog and scaring the Captain nearly to
death. Unterbaum turned quickly and
seized the man by the throat, but he then
began to yell and fight like an Indian,
attracting a big crowd who thought he was
being abused. Lieutenant Gallant and
Officer Costello came running up and
assisted in taking the young man to Central
station, where he was recognized as
Charles Blank, a jeweler, who on
the first of this month moved into
a store at Penn avenue and Twentieth
street. His goods still lie in the store just
as they were dumped from the wagon, and
the police say he has been spending his
time in drinking. It is thought he is bor
dering on delirium tremens. He told Ser
geant Gray last night that he was full of
dog blood and could not help jumping on
the captain.
An official of 'Washington county reported
the loss of a prisoner at the Central station
vesterday. The official who failed to give
his name, said he was on his way from Coal
Center to the "Washington County Alms
house on Saturday with a man named John
P. Underwood, an Englishman, slightly
demented. He was met here by an uncle
of his charge who lives on Mt. Washing
ton. They were waiting in the Panhandle
Railroad station on the Southside, and
during the officer's temporary absence,
Underwood suddenly ran out of the station
and across the bridge to the city. The
uncle followed but could not catch him and
be made good his escape.
Mrs. Annie Stantou, 60 years of age and
slightly demented, was turned over to her
daughter, Mrs. Torabey, of Market street,
Allegheny, yesterday by the police of this
city. The police here had been asked to
look out for her, as she had wandered away
from home on Saturday. Mrs. Stanton
walked into Central station at 1 o'clock
yesterday morning and later her friends
were notified.

THE
WAR ON THE BOB-TAIL.
A Bitter Street Car Fight Gets Into
Borough Politics.
HILLVALE CITIZENS AEOUSED.
They Declare That Two of the Councilmen
Must Eesign.
WALTER LT0N WARNED KOT TO SPEAK
To-night the citizens of the First ward,
Millvale, will hold an indignation meeting
to protest against the action of its Council
men in the matter of the street railway
ordinances. It promises to be as interesting
and exciting as the recent Harrisburg Dem
ocratic Convention.
The Third ward meeting Saturday night
left many scars of the fight On every
street corner crowds gathered yesterday,
recited the happenings and commented on
them. The more they talked the madder
they became at the Councilmen who, they
said, did not stick to their pledge. In one
of these knots Burgess John C. Keed was
found. He was cool and calm, but perfectly
pronounced in his opinions.
"I cannot help but believe," said he,
"that several of the Councilmen have been
won over by the bob-tail line.
History or the Street Car Fight.
"The history of this fight, which broke
out in a riot last night, dates back several
years, but has only began to boil since
January L Some five years ago, the Mill
vale Borough Council granted the Millvale
Street Kailway, or the 'bob-tail' line, a
franchise to operate a street railway. That
company had never laid a rail or carried a
passenger up to January L On this account
the present Council considered the ordinance
giving it the right of way null and void,
when the proposed Millvale, Etna and
Sharpsburg Company asked for right of
way.
"The "bob-tail line had never done any
thing to connect us with Pittsburg, and
when the Pittsburg, Allegheny and Man
chester Company offered this extension we
saw in it a good thing. It offered to haul
us from Millvale to the city terminus, Lib
erty avenue and Market street, for 5 cents,
and agree to all the conditions we asked.
We could not ask for a more reasonable
oiler.
Granted Privileges to the Manchester.
"Council unanimously passed the ordi
nance giving this road the right of way at the
first reading. This was prior to the 18th
of April. On that date, Council held a
special meeting and the members from the
First and Third wards announced their
intention of voting against the ordinance.
This is what started the trouble.
"It was about the 1st of Jannarv
that the Pittsburg, Allegheny and
Manchester asked for right of way.
The citizens of the town were anxious
that it should receive the franchises.
In February the borough election was held
and the issue was the street car ordinance,
the citizens of the town, almost to a man,
being in favor of the Pittsburg, Allegheny
and Manchester entering the town. The
councilmen pledged themselves to vote for
this ordinance, and had thev not put them
selves on record they would not have been
elected. The two councilmen and myself in
the Second ward have always stood up for
the ordinance, but the other four men have
been bought by the 'bob-tail' line.
Thinks It Is a Freezeont.
"This line is represented by "Walter Lyon,
Esq., and I think the only tiling they want
to do is to keep the Pittsburg, Allegheny
and Manchester out of town. It is not the
intention of the old company to build. That
company never moved a car until January
1. It then got hold of the tracks on Forty
third street from Butler street to the Mill
vale borough line. It bought these from
the old Transverse Company, so you see it
had never laid a foot of track. To run this
horse car it was necessary to have a switch
on the borough's ground. About January
2, the company tried to lay this switch and
I had the workmen arrested. From then
up to the 18th of the month there was a
constant warfare between the company and
the borough. I then thought it better to
quit arresting the men and filed a bill in
equity against the company to test its right
in the streets. The case will be heard in
two or three weeks. In this way the com
pany was stopped.
A Difference of Opinion.
"Attorney Lyon was borough solicitor
for Millvale up to the time the Pittsburg,
Allegheny and Manchester ordinance passed
first reading. He then resigned
and became attorney for the 'bob
tail" line. At the meeting on
Saturday night he said that if the ordinance
was passed, it would not hold good, but our
attorneys do not agree with him. The
Pleasant Valley has offered to come into
the borough, but it has not made any
promises so good as the Pittsburg, Alle
gheny and Manchester. If is not being
considered. The citizens will ask the First
and Third ward Councilmen to resign, if
they continue to stand out against the or
dinance at the meeting next week. The
Third ward people voted to a man in favor
of it last night and the First ward meeting
to-night will certainly end the same way."
The people of the town are loud in their
denunciation of Mr. Lyon and a number of
them said vesterday there would be serious
trouble it lie attempted to speak to-night
CONGRATULATED THE C0UBT.
The Pittsburg C. T. A. V. Pleased With the
Decrease of Saloons.
The License Court was congratulated last
night upon its success in reducing the num
ber of baloons in the two cities. The con
gratulations were extended in a resolution
adopted by the Pittsburg Catholic Total
Abstinence Union at their regular monthly
meeting held at St. Bridget's Church. The
resolution was as follows:
Whereas, The annual term of tie Li
cense Court having expired, ami the result
of its iabor being a decrease in tho number
of the license granted, it is hcrebv,
Kesolved, That the Catholic Total Absti
nence Union ot Pittsburg congratulate the

woik und express its gratification at tlie
wisdom of the Court in lessening the num

THEY HAVE A GSIEVANCE.
Tho Garment Workers Tryinc to Effect a
Stronger Organization.
The Garment "Workers' Union, of Pitts
burg, held a mass meeting last night and
about 100 men were present The gather
ing was for the purpose of devising "better
methods of strengthening their organiza
tion. The garment makers of Pittsburg have
been organized about & year and they claim
their condition is growing daily worse.
They say they used to get fl for making a
coat and now they only get 03 cents and
have to put more work on it
He Doesnt Like Reporters.
Robert Moorhead, a Glasgow iron man,
registered at the Seventh Avenue yester
day. He is not accustomed to the Ameri
can stvle of interviewing, and while he
was polite, and commended the activity of
leporters, he intimated that he would like
them better if they were exiled to Siberia
or the heart of Africa. By dint of indirect
questioning it was learned that Robert
McAfee, foreman of Oliver's Woods' Bun
mills, lormerly worked for him, and he
came to Pittsburg to see him. He is on a
trip around the world.

A typographical error made in tho Sunday

Xo. 201 Market street, offers six sacks of flour

that sum. Low as Mr. Wcldon Is able to
make his prices, it would be clearly out of
reason to expect him to sell six sacks of
flour for the amount named.
PITTSBURG DISPATCH
NEW STEEL PIPE PROCESS.
Charles Carlson lias an Invention for Mak
ing Tubes Direct From Bars Iron to
Be Crowded Out of Another Industry
Converse Is Backing, niin.
Charles Carlson, a well-known McKees
port inventor, has completed an invention
which, he claims, will revolutionize the
pipe industry. He has associated with him
General Manager Converse, of theXational
Tube "Works, and J. B. Johnson. He is the
inventor of the hydraulic hoisting table now
used at rolls.
The invention is intended to make steel
pipes and tubes direct from a solid round
steel bar, and will do away with the rolling
into a plate, as is necessary to-day. That
Mr. Converse is interested with Mr. John
son is believed here to be an assurance ot its
success. The machines are being fitted up
here, and will soon be in readiness for a
test There will be at least six of the ma
chines tried in the National Tube "Works,
each machine being capable of making pipes
of different lengths and thicknesses, from
the smallest to the largest
The steel bar, at white heat, will enter
the machines solid, and when it emerges all
that is to be done to complete it is to
thread it, which process is one of the easiest
in pipe making. The lengths of the tubes
are regulated bv the sizes and lengths of
the iron bars. Tne process, of course, does
away iith the rolling and welding pro
cesses now in use.
General Manager Converse has great
faith in the machines. They have two of
them already made, which can turn out
tubing six feet long, and when the remain
der are finished he believes the best results
will be accomplished. If their process is
successful, it means that steel tubes will
supplant wrought iron pipes.
THE DOUBLE-BECKED CAB.
Its First Trips Making It Very Popular in
Pittsburg.
The big double-decked car on the Pitts
burg Traction line was run for the first time
yesterday. To use a theatrical expression,
it has "caught on in great shape." Both
conductors were kept busy keeping the
people off. The new car is just a little
longer than the regulation grip car and the
lower part is about the same height as the
others. It was built bv the J. G. Brill
Company, of Philadelphia. The ceiling is
bell shaped on the side, thus giving plenty
of space for ventilation, and the crest of the
bell forms the seats above on the top deck.
The coach is on the summer-car style,
with the seats back to back. The gripman
occupies the same relative position that he
does in the summer cars. save that he is com
pletely shut in and the entrance to his cab
is from the front The lamps are arranged
like the old ones in the horse cars, one in
the rear of the car and the other
in the rear of the gripman's cab. A spiral
stairway, made entirely of iron, winds up
from the rear platform. It is protected by
guard rails. On the upper deck the seats
are the same as below and a nickel-plated
rail, three feet high, runs around the whole
way. There is no protection from sun or
rain, because if there were the car could not
pass under the archway at the East Liberty
station. As it is now a part of the arch
had to be cut away in order to let the cars
through, and all the passengers are com
pelled to get out before the car enters the
station for fear of some accident
The double-decked car on the Fifth ave
nue line made seven trips yesterday, and
carried 1,130 people. The management is
greatly pleased with the showing, but they
are not sure that the car will be a howling
success. The novelty is great, and the car
may not be in such demand after it wears
off.
AN ELKS' BEST.
The Local Lodge After a Plot ot Ground in
the Homewocd Cemetery.
A committee from the Elks was at the
Homewood Cemetery yesterday looting
over a plot of ground for an Elks' rest In
the party were George Mashey, Levy De
"Wolf, George Meyer, Jr. and William Lee.
The managers ot the cemetery were asked
to send in a bid for a plot not less than 60
feet square. The committee was very
much pleased with a site near the Clark
mausoleum. A visit was also paid to the
Allegheny cemetery, but the committee
was afraid the price asked would be too
high.
The object is to secure a common place
of burial for members of the local lodge.
The organization in New York, Chicago and
some of the other cities control cemeteries
where their dead are interred. If the
prices are not too high, a plot of ground
will be bought in Pittsburg.

THE POOR FARM DEAL
Meets With Opposition From Mayor
Gonrley, Who Says the
CITY IS NOT A LAND SPECULATOR.
Advice to -Alexander to Sell His Property
and Make Money.
WHAT CITI COUNCILS MAT DO T0-DAI
An interesting meeting is expected in
Pittsburg Councils this afternoon and there
will probably be some edifying discussions
in both branches.
In Common Council the report of the
Finance Committee will include a negative
recommendation of Mr. O'Donnell's audit
resolution and a favorable report on Mr.
Holliday's ordinance relating to the same
subject. The two measures were entirely
different in character when referred to the
committee, but an amendment to Holliday's
ordinance providing that no limit shall be
placed on the number ot years the auditors
shall run back on the city's accounts will
probably satisfy Mr. O'Donnell, and receive
his support. It may not suit Mr. Holliday,
however, and either way there is expected
to be some sharp talk.
In the Select branch the garbage ordin
ance will come up for action with a favora
ble report from the Public "Works Commit
tee. Chiefs Brown and Bigelow are dissat
isfied with the ordinance as it stands, and if
it is passed at all it will be radically
amended.
A Bonanza In City Garbage.
The impression prevails that the ordin
ance would be a big bonanza for the gentle
men who are asking its passage in its pres
ent shape, and that the beneficiaries give
less than nothing in return for the favors
they would receive. Mayor Gourley has
also announced opposition to the ordinance
unless several important changes are made
in it, though he, like the other officials,
thinks that the proposed way of disposing
of the garbage is the best ever suggested in
this city.
In some shape the Poor Farm question is
also expected to come tip. The growing
fear of a squeeze in available real estate for
Poor Farm purposes by speculators has
reached Councilmen. The Charities Com
mittee, after the City Attorney's opinion,
hare no business before them and can do
nothing unless Councils refer to them an or
dinance or resolution bearing on the mat
ter, and it is expeqted that some such docu
ment will be presented to-day. "Whether
the City Attorney's suggestion to formally
reject the option on the Alexander farm
and readvertise for proposals is adopted or
not could not yesterday be learned.
The Major on the Alexander Option.
Mayor Gourley agrees with Major More-
land that it would be dangerous to attempt
to hold Alexander to his option alter wait
ing so long and doing nothing with it. The
Mayor is opposed to the Alexander farm
anyhow, on account of its cost. In speaking
of "the matter yesterday he said:
"I am satisfied that Councils have for
feited any right to hold Alexander to his
option, and I believe he could legally sell
the property to-morrow to any other person
without regard to the city. If he has the
big offers lor the property that have been
talked about, he is foolish not to accept
them and close it out, I don't say the prop
erty is not worth all tho city has been
asked for it as an investment. I fully agree
with Chief Elliot that in 15 or 20 years the
place will be worth many thousands more
than it is to-day, and that the city could
then sell it tor a profit I have seen the
farm, and don't believe the statements
made that it is poor, swampy land and unfit
on that account for Poor Farm purposes.
In fact, I believe it to be an excellent
tract of land and worth all the money asked
for it. But I don't think the citv would be
justified in paying 5300 an acre for a Poor
arm,even n it were worm twice tne money.
I don't believe the city needs more than 100
or 150 acres forher pauper and insane wards,
and I do believe that a tract of that size
suitable in every respect could be bought
for $100 an acre or less.
No Necessity for a River Front.
"I see no necessity for a river front prop
erty for a Poor Farm, and I don't thinfe the
city should buy one. There is plenty of
property within 15 or 20 miles of the city,
in Allegheny county, well situated as to
railroad and drainage facilities, which can
be bought for less than $100 an acre. Ad
joining my farm in Pine township, 15 miles
from the city and near the Pittsburg and
AVestern Bailroad, is a tract of good land
which has been oflered to me at a price
approximating $50 an acre, and there is
more of it out there that could be bought
for less. This I know to be a fact. Now,
if we can get good land within 15 miles for
S50, we should be able to get much better at
$100, and I believe we can if we wish.
"As to the Alexander farm, it might be a
good investment for me or any other indi
vidual to buy, cat up into lots and sell
again. I have no doubt a lot of money
could be made out of it that wav or even by
holding it a few years and selling it in
bulk, but the city is not in the real estate
business. "We don't want to buy a farm,
spend thousands of dollars in the erection
of buildings and improving the ground, and
then turn around, buy another farm and go
through the same process again in 15 years,
even if we could make money out of it "We
should buy a farm and build on it for a 50
years' expectancy at least."
IT WAS HIS SON.
W. F. Patterson Is Fully Identified by Bis
Father.
The body of "W. F. Patterson, the young
man who was killed at Memphis, Tenn.,
Friday, was brought to the city yesterday.
It proved tobe the remains of ex-Postmaster
Patterson's son.
Up to the time the body reached Pitts
burg the father did not know whether it
was his son. Saturday all day he tried to
get something definite concerning the acci
dent, bnt could not He was kept in this
awful suspense until he looked at the
corpse.
The funeral will take place to-dav from
Mr. Patterson's home in Lawrenceville.
Dropped Dead From Apoplexy.
Dominic Aiello, an Italian, whose home
was at New Galilee, dropped dead at 208
Grant street yesterday afternoon. He had
come to the city to attend the Catholic cer
emony of cornerstone laying yesterday.
Apoplexy is supposed to have caused the

PUSHING STONE'S BILL
Securing Slcnatnres to Indorsements to the
Bill Restricting Immigration labor
Ors.tnlzatlons Taking a Hand Oppo
sition From Atlantic Steamboat Com
panies. The Stono immigration bill has been
strongly indorsed by a number of leading
men in various parts of the country, and
the work of securing petitions to be pre
sented to Congress is to be pushed rapidly.
The window glass workers, who have been
enlisted in the work, will send in petitions
to the representatives of 55 Congressional
districts in various parts of the country.
All the local lodges of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers in Pennsylvania are
interested and are adding their efforts to the
movement.
The chief opposition to the bill is said to
come from the steamship companies. They
want a clause inserted in the bill providing
that the examination of immigrants be con
ducted tinder the direction of, and perhaps
by, the officials of these companies, instead
of by Government consular agents. To
counteract this opposition circulars will be
sent out broadcast asking for petitions, and
it is expected that within 60 days Congress
will be deluged with them, signed by hun
dreds of thousands of persons representing
labor, patriotic and other organizations,
asking for the passage ot the bill.
The local organization which is pushing
the boom for the bill have received letters
from T. V. Powderly, Dr. Miller, of
"Waynesburg College; Chancellor Holland,
P. M. Arthur, and others equally promi
nent, pledging their support to the'bill and
stating their reasons for it in forcible, direct
language that shows their sincerity.
THE OAT IN THE PAEKi
How the Two Cities Enjoyed the Great
Breathlnc Spots.
The parks of Allegheny presented a most
gala-day appearance yesterday afternoon,
notwithstanding the active, unshorn wind
that capered about Kibbons of all colors,
shades, varieties and prices fluttered in the
breezes as gaily-dressed maidens tripped
along the winding paths upon the arms of
their hard-handed, though spring-beclothed,
companions. There were maidens with the
fresh bloom of youth, and maidens with the
fresher bloom of artifice, perambulating
along, ogling, smiling and flirting. There
were also youths of the other sex, with
the bloom of freshness all about
them. They also ogled, and occasion
ally they became so bold that they threw
down their cigarettes and tipped their bats
and then , well, another couple joined the
proroenaders. The conservatory was
thronged the greater part of the afternoon
and the breezes were not thought of.
The street railways carried hundred ot
peonle to Schenley and Highland parks yes
terday. The former had the call. Hund
reds enjoyed the beauties of Pittsburg's
breathing place. The grass is just getting
a rich green and the dandelions spot it here
and there with gold. People were scat
tered all over the pines and the artistic
points of Panther Hollow.

NOT A POLICE JUDGE.
Major William M. Kennedy, of Alle
gheny, Has His Own Ideas of
THE PROPER DDTIES OP A MAYOR.
Kames of Two Aldermen Mentioned Who
May Hold the Hearings.
FEATURES OP TUESDAY'S ELECTION
Major "William JL Kennedy, who will be
elected Mayor of Allegheny to-morrow,
will not conduct magisterial hearings when
he is ensconced in the chair of the Mayor
alty of Allegheny.
Such is the burthen of the rumors about
City Hall and among politicians, and the
question is eagerly asked: "Who will con
duct the hearings?"
The City of Allegheny, being a city of
the second class, is entitled to five magis
trates, each to bs appointed to some par
ticular district and to be paid a yearly
salary, and the fees of the officers are to be
turned into the citygovernment Notwith
standing this law, the Council has not yet
made any appropiations for the salaries
of the magistrates and the entire criminal
business has been done by the acting Mayor.
The dignity of the Mayoralty is considered
by Mr. Kennedy, and he will not permit
that dignity to be affected by hearing cases
of common drinks, family quarrels and
other petty offenses in his office.
Two Alternatives to Choose From.
This conclusion leaves two alternatives
open for him. Either the appointment of
five magistrates, whose salaries may subse
quently be appropriated, and districts ac
corded by the City Council, or the appoint
ment of some aldermen to conduct the hear
ings until Council makes such arrangements.
The latter course will probably be the one
pursued by Mavor Kennedy.
At present there are but two aldermen
spoken of as the prospective appointees,
E. L. Braun, of the First ward, and D.
McKelvev, of the Second ward. Both of
these officials are men ot conservative
judgment and thoroughly conversant with
the duties of the office. Alderman Mc
Kelvey's chances for the office do not seem
to be as good as are those of Alderman
Braun. McKelvey was closely intimate
with ex-Mayor "Wyman and this fact may
tend to prejudice Mayor Kennedy against
him. As lor Alderman Braun, the remain
ing "possibility," his chances seem good.
His light against iniquity in the First ward
has had a good effect, as his work was more
effective than was anticipated.
An Opportunity for Good Gaessers.
The question could not be answered last
night, as the Mayor-elect was out of the
city and will nonreturn until to-day. Dur
ing the interim political gossipers are busy
wondering.
The election for Mayor will be held to
morrow. Although 'Mr. Kennedy is the
only candidate, the election will be carried
on with due formality, and, moreover, will
be conducted, for the first time in Alle
gheny City, under the Baker ballot law,
which is built upon the Australian system.
"While but little interest will attach to the
balloting, it will give the citizens of Alle
gheny an opportunity to practice up a little
tor the November election, when each bal
lot will represent a freeman's opinion of
the proper method ot government.
A feature of election is the closing of
saloons on that dav, as on Sunday. Men
who can calmly pas open saloon doors on
other days and drink ice water with satis
faction, acquire a thirst that can only be
quenched by alcoholic refreshments. For
that reason a large influx of Alleghcnians is
expected in this city, where there will be
no election on that dav, and where the sa
loons will be open. The street car compa
nies anticipate a large business, which will
be increased by visitors to the baseball
game, who will have no incentive to walk
when the saloons are closed.
