' EOHE KESULTS ALREADY ATTAINED Major "William L Kennedy, the newly elected Mayor of Allegheny, -will be in aucurated at noon to-morrow. The City Councils will meet in joint session at that time, the President of the Select branch of Councils will administer the oath of ffice to the new President of that munici pality, and Mayor Yjoegtly will, in the presence of the ConncUmcn, transfer the Mayoralty to his suceessoi. Mayor Kennedy's term of office will ex pire in 11 months. He was chosen to fill l- unexptVed term of ex-Mayor AVyman. u lias yet, about 32 days of his term of imprisonment to serve. Major Kennedy rode to place and powe in Allegheny on the topmot wave of the recent reform flood. He was first elected to' Councils as a reformer. He has never been offensively acth e with his associates, but his record has been clean and his effort have been progressive and have always been turned in the direction of securing a proper administration of municipal affairs. TTJiere tlie Reform Jlovement Started. The historv of the organization that has given to Allegheny City her new reform Mayor is decidedly interesting, and the work accomplished by that organization is more or less wonderful. The reform move ment in Allegheny is but a little over one year old. Since its inauguration, however, it has sent the Mayor of the city to jaii for three months; it has sent to the same prison the city's market clerk lor a term of six months; it was instrumental in the removal from office of the collector of internal revenue ior the Pittsburg district, it has succeeded in having held for trial in court on a variety of charges the Chief of Allegheny Depart ment of Public Safety and two of his police officers it has caused investigation after in vestigation ot the Allegheny postoffice, it has succeeded in having Allegheny's assist ant postmaster removed from office and held in bail to answer in court the charge of em bezzlement V ElfCtftt the City's Chief Officer. It has secured a majority of the members of the City Councils and finally it will to morrow inaugurate its reform Mayor. Yet the movement and much of the work it has rccomrjlished was the work of George Shiras" IIL, who had made the organiza tion atabstantial success before even his -olitical associates were aware that "ontrolling hand, inity and the occasion for the "ition became apparent to he election to Congress of "TO. In that fight, which I ng Shiras polled about popular vote, but njority ot thcdele ting convention j.i.. 'an, where he spent a Ion;, d fishing. A ' Bhort time after his rei "'egheny the following platform, headed, 'Mm. Commit tee of Fifty for a Xew Allegheny," was mailed to a goodly number of Allegheny's best citizens: Resolved, Tlie purpose of this organiza tion is toas5it: 1.

The cucular was signed by "The Advisory Committee." No one knew who composed theAdisory Committee, but they favored the movement. Within a month another circular bearing diiectly on municipal re- -m v. as mailed to the same people, and men hundreds of people began talking of the organization apj its objects. No one but Mr. Shiias knew anythingdefiniteiibout the movement, honever, and he was not talking much. All the Pittsburg papers indorsed it, and the association that seemed to promise so much still consisted of the one man. A Call to liepresentatlvo Citizens. On February 9, 1S91, another circular was issued. It too was signed by "Tlie Advisory Committee." It was addressed to the same people as were the first ones. It contained the editorial indorsement of the scheme by the Pittsburg papers and called direct at tention to., the approaching CouncUmanic election. Among other things the circular ccid: On February 17, CouncUmanic candidates will have been nominated and elected. The city of AUeghenv, under a new and enlarged poicrnmcnr, will lo benefitted or Injured by the change, according to the character ana ability ot tho men then selected. Seldom be fore have tho taxpavers been confronted with greater responsibilities, involving la many Instanoes the welfare and comfort of each Inhabitant, the name and honor of the city and therprosrtire of- one's party. A rep resentative committee of citizens, entirely free from personal or political obligations, will be or incalculable service to our com munity in the present crisis. Such men must admit, that hitherto, they have given little time or attention to obtaining a proper administration of mnniclil affaiis by those intrusted with the same. If the present in centives are without effect then our city can be placed in the category of ring-ridden, over-taxed, slip-shod cities so numerous in many parts or the country. The Tims to Take Action. Harsh, Indeed, Would be the words neces sary to describe some of the social and po liticals evils that have lately disgraced our city; inci eased salaries and additional re tainers" will only add to our bui dens and l en der resistance less effective hereafter. Al ready movements are on foot, through local and State legislation, requiring In some in stances the support and in others tho active opposition of an organization, representlug the citizens at largo. We are threatened with the arbitrary division of our wards, the disruption of our school districts, election of unfit men for heads of departments, and tho acceptance of laws entirely incompati ble with the real interests of the com munity. Shall we stand idly by and permit any and all things without a protest I By this time the reform movement had spread to every ward in the city. Reform had becoms the issue in the councilmanic fight, and on election day the reform lines were unconsciously drawn at every voting precinct in the" city. The result at the polls was gratifying to Mr Shiras, who still stood alone as the Reform Association, the Citizen's Committee and the Committee of Fifty. The strength evidenced by the movement was making it too popular to be controlled by one man. Eobert B. Lea then joined with Mr. Shiras, and the two had little trouble in enrolling a Long IJst of Tromlnent People who had indicated their willingness to assist in the work of the Citizens' Commit tee. The gentlemen selected to serve on this Committee are as follows: Henry Holdship, Captain James T. Chal fant, A. M. Marshall. Janies Bovard, Henry Kleber, Henry V. Gerwie, George P. Hamil ton. Jr., M. D. Peebles, James I. Kav, John Wilhelm, Jr., James II. Aiken, John Hood, John S. Slasrle, Simon McRoberts, Will iam Allen, George A. Kelly, Thomas II. Dickson, J. II. Montgomery, E. W.

"When the new Councils organized their first work was the adoption of the charter making it a city of the second class. The charter provided for departments of the city government and Councils were re quired to fix the,autbority and salaries of the heads of those departments, determine the number of clerks to be employed in each department and the salaries to be paid them. Result of the Committee's labors. The Citizens' Committee worked in every direction for reform. The number ot em ploves and the salaries proposed for them by what was then known as the ring ele ment were greatly reduced, TJie charter was amended to prohibit police interference at elections; the participation of city em ployes in nominating conventions was pro hibited, and an annual auditing of the citv's account by expert auditors was provided for. This was the most important work of the committee, and as soon as the expert auditors went to work some of the city officials began gojng to jail, while others began dodging about to avoid an arresting officer. The Reform Committee is now permantly organized. The officials of the organization have never been made public, but they meet regularly. "We have made a fairlv good start, but we have onlv fairly started," the President of the association said last night. "Allegheny needed reform." he concluded, "and she is getting a good dose of it." SOUTHSIDE SINNERS. A. BusySatmday Xightrorthe Police The Patrol TTagon Iv?pt on the Ran A Woman Who Knew Enough to Go Away From Home. The patrol wagon on the Southside was kept in motion almost constantly last night from 9 o'clock until midnight. The first trip made was to 42 Welsh way, where a raid was made on a disorderly house kept by Mrs. Nora Spunnenberg. George Brown, David Jenkins, Al Laibaugh and John Gordon were arrested. The proprie tress was not to be found. She had enough genius about her to keep out of the way ot the police. She had a good reason for doing so, as, in addition to being wanted for keeping the disorderly house, the officials of the Anti-Crnelty Society have an information against her lor cruelty and neglect to her children. Mary Dnnbaker, who was arrested on Fridaynight for keeping a disorderly house at the corner of South Nineteenth street and Merriman's alley, was rearrested on a charge of illegal liquor selling. The information was made by Inspector Kelly, She was held in $1,000 bail for a hearing next Thurs day. Conrad Snyder had a row with another man near South Twelfth street. Although he got whipped in the fight, he was the one locked up. Jacob "Ward fared a similar fate. Mary Cameron, an aged woman and some what demented, was arrested on ML Wash ington and sent to the Twenty-eighth ward station. She was very boisterous in the station house and while not responsible for what she naid insisted in strongs terms that a Southside priest had imposed upon her and abused her. There were nearly a dozen other ordinary arrests. CAUGHT WITH STOLEN KATHEHS. Ono of tho Evil Results That Fo'Iows Wear ing Other People's Clothing. Assistant Superintendent of Police John Glenn, of Allegheny, arrested Charles Smith yesterday afternoon on suspicion of larceny. Edward Harrison, an engineer, who lives at 62 Sandusky street, reported a few days ago that a coat and vest had been stolen from his house. He suspected Smith, a man whom he employed, and he gave Mr. Glenn a description of the stolen articles. Yesterday afternoon Mr. Glenn saw a man walking on Federal street wearing a coat and vest closely resembling those Mr. Harri son had missed. He arrested the man and took him to the lockup, where he gave his name as Charles Brown, and said that he had purchased the clothes in Pittsburg. In the evening Mr. Harrison identified the clothing as his own, and stated that a handkerchief, bearing the letter "H" that was found on the arrested man was his own. An information will be made against the man on Monday before an alderman. Italians Fight Over a Game of Cards. Two Italians, Peter and Antonio Barrico, were arrested by Officer Mahan last night at Homewood and lodged in the Nineteenth ward station.

HE XOW ASKS TO BE TRIED FOR'HURDER Gray hairs bowed down by sorrow are ever a sorrowful sight, but wheD, to, sorrow is added the sting of being despised, hated and feared as a pestilence it" is overburden ing. Such is the condition of George Knauf. He is a sturdy, well-built' man, with a broad, honest faoe, and his long, white hair hangs loosely about his, massive head. He has almost reached his allotted three score years and ten, but instead of enjoying the glories of life's sunset, he is bat left the dry, hard hulls of existence. He lives under a cloud which has shut out all hope, all beauty and all pleasure from life. Now he but waits for the end, bnt rather 'than hasten it himself because .of the stain it would leave onts memory'and on the very children who have set him adrift on the world, he prefers to bear it while life lasts. Yet so heavy has it become thai yesterday he asked Coroner McDowell to commit him on a charge of murder. He declares -he is innocent, but says he is willing to be hanged, in fact, he hopes for such a release from present miseries. All people will remember the, famous Faulk murder at Laurel station On the FL "Wayne road on the afternoon of, January 23, i89L "William Faulk, a farmer sup posed to be insane, shot aud killed his wife, Mary Ann Faulk, on the "Wilson farm. It was claimed then that Faulk had become crazy through the teachings of sin old Ger man named George Knauf, who told him he should kill his wife if he 'ranted to save the world. Knauf was held for a time and then discharged. Faulk Acquitted Became Insane. On Jnly 27, "William Faulkwas found not guilty of murder by reason of insanity and was sent to DixmonL Since, then the stain has rested on George Knouff. It has made him penniless and an -outcast His children have driven him from home. Everywhere he goes he is regarded as a witch. Yesterday when he told the Coroner his pitittl story his eyes at times filled with tears.' He caid, though he was innocent, he had not had a happy moment since the murder was committed. Boys throw stones at him and oall him the man with the "witch book," and even as he walks along the streets the mothers draw in their children lest if he touched, them they should fall in sickness. Even the youngsters run from him for fear he would cast on them an "evil eye." In the country districts where he is knotPn, the child that.frets and crys is scared to sleep with the threat that the "nitch man, Knauf," will catch them, "When turned out by his children he was sent to the County Home, but even there the inmates abused him, he says, and called him the devil, and not one would touch the old German Bible that he carries for fear evil would come upon them. "Were George Knauf a leper he could not be more of an outcast. "When he walked into the Coroner's office he said: "I want to give myself up and be tried and have it proved whether I made "William Falk kill his wife. If they prove I did I want to be hanged. I do not want to live. I have been so miserable that I could have killed myself. I feel that way now." Lives Or.Jy for His Children's Saks. "I would have done it long ago, but the people would have said, 'he was a devil and a witch. He knew he was a murderer and he killed himself.' My children even will not let me come to their homes and do not support me, yet I would not have it said their father killed himself. I cannot live the way I do now. No one will give me work, and I have onlv 1 cent left "No," he continued, as he fingered in his pocket, "I have 2 cents, but I have not had anything to cat to-day. I am not a witch. I ani.an honest man and have been a natur alized citizen of this country for 36 years. "William Faulk was not insane," he con tinued, when he killed his wife. He killed ber for jealousy. He was jealous ofiEmery Gibbons, the hired man. It was him he intended to kill. He shot her because she assisted Gibbons to escape. Both Faulk and Gibbons drank a great deal, and when ever Faulk was away Gibbons was always with Mrs. Faulk. Gibbons aud "Faulk used to play cards for whisky. Mrs. Faulk aln ays sat beside Gibbons and assisted " him in playing. "Whenever, Gibbons won she would laugh at her husband and make fan of him. Sometimes he got angry. On the afternoon of the murder Faulk and Gibbcns were cutting fodder. They had been drink ing that morning. "William "Wilson also knew they had been in the habit 'of drink ing. Faulk grew angry and struck the horses. Then picking up a piece of board he struck a terrible blow at Gibbons' head. Gibbons dodged and ran up the hill. Faa'k Intended to Kill Gibbons. "Faulk than ran quickly to the porch, where the gun always stood, and! ricking it up, jumped onto the roof of the chicken house, that he might get a better shot at Gibbons. Just then Mrs. Faulk called out: " 'Run, Emery, run! He's going to'shoot you.' "When Faulk heard thi, instead of shooting at Gibbons, he wheeled' clear around and emptied the shotgun into his wife. He was not crazy then and ' is not crazy now. Yet the story was given out then that 1 had talked to him on religion and had induced him to kill' his wife. That is not so, but it has .'followed me and I now want to be tried for murder. If guilty, I want to be hanged. If innocent, I want the law to protect me against these insult's. I am ready" to offer nijself lor trial Mrs. Faulk's brother, Jacob Kettenbough, does not believe Faulk is insane, and refused to testify that he be lieved he was." Then the old man returned to talking about the way he was persecuted, and said that at the county home, when he read his Bible, the inmates would point to.him and say he bad a "witch book" and was talking with the deviL The Coroner has -not yet decided what to do with the case.

Mr. Harilins Fays The New Orleans lynch ing Scarrd the AnnrchUts in America. George Harding, a prominent 2ew York lawyer, who formerly lived in Pittsburg, was a passenger on the limited for Chicago last evening. He was a little apprehensiva about the May day celebrations a Europe. He is afraid there will be anarchistic out breaks in most of the leading foreign capi tals. "Our land is to be congratulated," he said. . "We have some Anarchists, but America is safe from their-vaporings. Our vigilant police system is too much tor these cunning dynamiters. You have no idea what a wonderful repressing effect the New Orleans lynching and the prompt action of the police in the Haymarket affair has had on these European firebrands in the United Statei. They are thoroughly afraid bt the Yankee police, and as long as otir officers continue to be so alert we have nothing to fear from anarchy." f DISPATO. VIC -GOES TO CHICAGO.

"Victoria "Woodhnll, of London, who claims the will be the next; President of the United States, because a spirit in a vision told her she would be, left for Chicago last evening. She was accompanied by Lady Cook, her sister, and Mr. Martin, her hus band. "Victoria is a theosophist of the pronounced type. She says she preached the doctrine of the "Kreutzer Sonata" loim before Count Tolstoi wrote the book. Everywhere she goes she says her husband is a member of the Eoyal "World's Fair Commission. This statement is denied in New York, and people wonder wbv she persists in sticking to iL Victoria bought a ticket in Njew York through to Chicago, but on the train a spirit directed her to stop in Pittsburg. She says she follows the dictates of the spirits, and no doubt if one had ordered her to get off at some country cross roads she would have done so, provided Superintendent Pit cairn would have stopped the limited for her. She had no particular reason for re maining over a day in Pittsburg, and spent the time in the hotel. She was in a very contented frame ot mind as she left the city last evening. Colonel J, P. Sanford, the lecturer, was in the city yesterday, and called on her. He " visited once at herliome in London. The Colonel says she is a brilliant woman, but is following a delusion. She doesn't know what she wants. SETTEE TO BUI TICKETS HEBE. Captain McCormlcll Corrects n Mlsaopre lienslon Abont th? Immigration Laws. Captain J. J. McCormick, the steamship agent, says there is a general misunder standing among the people about what is meant by "assisted passage" in the new im migration law. The last act places a number of additional restrictions on immigration, with the view of keeping out objectionable people. Paupers, criminals and the insane are the ones chiefly aimed at. However, some very good foreigners have gotten into trouble because their friends were ignorant of the laws, and to avoid mistakes the steamship companies have issued instructions ior the benefit of agents and the public. An assisted passage is construed to be when foreign guardians of paupers, etc., have paid their fare to get them out of the country. Captain McCormick says it is much better for friends to buy tickets here and send them to their people in the old country" rather than forward them the money, as it is a guarantee that they will be cared for when they arrive and they will not be dependent on the poor authorities. A foreigner when he lands in New York, having purchased his ticket on the other side, may have snch a small amount of money left as to raise a doubt in the minds of the inspecting officers about his ability to support himself. A prepaid ticket is re garded as proof that he has friends here who will provide foT him until he can look after himself. A CUSr FOB DIPHTHEEIA. Large Quantities of Pineapples Sold This Winter to Knock Out the Disease. "Do you know that pineapple juice is re garded as a sure cure for diphtheria?" re marked Tony Barcky, the Seventh avenue fruit dealer last evening. "The demand for the fruit this winter was very large, and I had great difficulty in keeping up the supply. Everybody who bought wanted them for diphtheria, and a number of anxious mothers fed them to their children to keep the disease away. " It is a new cure to me, and for a time I was at a loss to account for the great sale of pine apples. One 'man, I remember, came from Altoona and purchased six to send to relatives in Switzerland, who were afflicted with the trouble. The express charges were 55 SO, but he was will ing" to pay anv cost to get them there as soon as possible. Some squeeze the juice out of the fruit and then give it to the pa tient, while others cut up the apple and allow the sick to extract the juice in the mouth. They tell me it relieves the throat in a very short time. f "Pineapples are a fruit that are never stored. They are staple, though last year's supply is exhausted. New pineapples are now coming from Cuba by the carload. The spring is the worst time of the year for the fruit business. The storage supply is gone, and it is a little early ior new fruits There are still a few pears and grapes left. in the market from last year's stock. Cher ries will be for sale next week. I have a lot on the way now from California, and they will be here in a few days." A BOY'S HAED LUCK. , He II Turned Ont of His Father's House. Mrs. Kern reported to the Allegheny police last night that she wished either the police or the Department of Charities to take charge of Albert Newmeyer, aged 15 years, whom she had sheltered for two or three days. She lives at 88 West Dia mond street, and in the same house lives John Newmeyer, the father of the boy. The statement of Mrs. Kern was that some time ago the wife of Newmeyer died. Shortly after he engaged a housekeeper. The latter conceived an aversion to Mr. Newmeyer's son, and had him put to work at Lindsey & McCntcheon's mill. A few days ago the boy tias discharged and returned home. His father refused to keep him, and he received shelter in the rooms of Mrs. Kern. On Monday the police will report the case to the Anti-Cruelty Society. 15. & O. Theatrical Traffic.

Gentlemen," with much impressiveness, "Max Schneider's buffet Is a thing of the past," and the proprietor of the Federal street hotel and buffet wended his way to the hotel office, while the crowd wended their way to drown their sym pathetic sorrows in the bubbling bowl. Mr. Schneider was seen by a Dispatch man a short time later and was neither trea sonable nor anarchistic in his utterances. Indeed Mr. Schneider seemed to take the matter in a philosophical man ner. "What else can I do?" said he, with an expansive smile illumining his ex tensive features. "The court has seen fit to take the word of a youth, while my wit nesses, who are reputable and eminently re spectable, have had their testimony disre garded." Looking at the Brighter Bide. "Why do you not rave and rant abont and tear up streets, a your friends seem to be desirous of having you do?" inquired the reporter. Mr. Schneider smiled softly to himselt, and said in subdued tones: "Well, to tell the truth, it wauldn't do any good.

"This young fellow who testified that he 'bought liquor in my place I can say posi tively ne er bought'liquor in my saloon. I have known for a long time that he was a tool of certain people who were anxious to have me break the law, and I have warned my barmen to be particularly careful about him, and I know thev have obeyed my instructions." Them Mr. Schneider forgot his conservatism for a moment, and saidif the courts continued in this way of doing business it would become in the due course of time a preparatory college or something similar for youthful blackmailers. Then the long time hands moved on to 12 M., and Max Schneider's saloon was a thing of the pasL Einstein Gets a Bottling License.

HTJESEEYME5 ABE HAPPY. rittsbnrg Has Been Visited With a Tree Flaotlng Craze. Said a well-known florist and seedsman yesterday: "There is a boom in the seed, plant and tree business this spring. Men who deal in these necessaries of suburban life say that there has never been a time in the history of Pittsburg when there was such a demand for them. The rapid transit roads have caused hundreds of famifies to move to the outskirts of the city who'have always lived in the thickly-settled districts. As soon as a man gets a suburban home he begins to think about his garden and lawn, and he may be seen by the hundred grubbing and poking about in his garden every evening. He knows all about gar dening by intuition, and when he goes home loaded with horticultural implements and seeds, it is with the intention of having the best laid-out piece of ground in his neighbor hood in spite'of blisters andmud. "In the East End and Oakland there is every indication that there will be hun dreds of front gardens that will add greatly to the beauty of those localities, while in the districts still further out, tomatoes and spring onions will have to struggle for prominence with pansies, geraniums, be gonias and other popular flowers. Tree planting is going on briskly, too. Florida maples and poplars are the favorite trees, although there are a good many fruit trees being planted this spring. The indications are that in course ot time the residence dis tricts of Pittsburg will be so thickly planted with trees that before many years have passed we shall be as much entitled to the name of 'Forest City' as Cleveland it self."

CABPEHTEBS WILL HOT oTBEflE. At Least They Will Mot Be Called Oat To-Morrow. The carpenters will not strike to-morrow, but what they will do before the building season is over in this direction is a mystery. There was a report current yesterday that the carpenters were going to demand an in crease of 25 cents, and if the bosses refused it they would not go to work Monday. Gus Swartz, special agent of the brother hood, said last night: 'There will not be a strke on May 1. The carpenters have not taken any action on such matters yet, and a strike could not be called except by the men. Of what may be done before the season is over I have nothing to say. The men are willing to he paid according to skill and ability if the wages are fixed at a prober minimum. What -I consider that minimum I do not care to say." TEE FEDEBATIOK PIAS.
