He Is a Candidate for County Chairman and Mjs He Will Bfi Elected. The Democrats of Allegheny county are just now considerably agitated over the dis cussion as to who will be their next County Chairman. The vist of John Jiles, of the State Department at Harrisburg, has to an extent confounded the Democrats and sev eral names have been suggested for the county chairmanship. "W. J. Brennen, the present County Chairman, said last night: "I have paid no attention to the visit to Pittsburg of Mr. Jiles. I am a candidate for re-election as County Chairman, and I will be. re-elected. I have filled the oflioe several years but I want the office this year."

HEIR TO A YAST FORTUNE Founded Years Ago in Economy by His Great-Grandmother, WHO SHELTERED FATHER RAPP. If He Is Sot reinstated lie May Demand an Accounting. EUH0RS OP THE SOCIETI'S EEMOTAL In case Henry Feicht lpses his applica tion in the courts to become reinstated in the Economist Society there will likely be a move made that will deprive the wealthy Economites of some $400,000 in the gold coin they have mysteriously stowed away in hidden coffers. Henry Feicht yesterday filed through his attorneys in the court of Beaver county a bill in equity to have him reinstated in the Economitc Society, from which he was de posed Uy the elders without a trial at a re cent meeting. Mr. .Feicht said yesterday that he and his brother and sister were legally entitled to the money his progenitors left with the society in years long ago and all the vast wealth the original sum has now grown to be. "But," said Mr. Feicht, "I am not trying to get the money. It is justice I want, and that justice will be my jtinstatement in the society. Can Act ns a Layman, Now. "I can do as I please, now," he con tinued, "as I am not a member of the society, and am like other beings and can bring any legal action against John Duss and my other enemies that I wish to." Then Mr. Feicht flanked, and, corroborated by his wife and their five children, began a recital of various misdeeds of the aforesaid John Duss which would burn holes in the paper they were printed on ifthey were now published. From many sources comes the information that John Duss would be wise to let Mr. Feicht severely alone and not force him into a recital of the truths and facts that the sturdy Economite, by right of birth and ancestry, has in his pos session. "When I was forced to the wall I determined to let the entire world know of John Duss' true history," said Mr. Feicht in tones of deepest injnry. "I have tried all along to avert this ex pose, he continued, "as I leel it might afTed the society, but now that I have been deposed, and deposed in such an outrageous and unprecedented manner, by the unaided efforts of John Duss, I have determined to speak, and speak fully. relent Confident or Victory. "The bill my attorneys have filed to-day will recite all the accusations I am now pre pared to-make. If John Duss wins the suit " Mr. Feicht hesitated a moment, then jumped excitedly to his feet and, shakiue his hand in the air, exclaimed in a voice( that rattled the flower" pots on the shelves of the cpnservatory, "but he cannot win; he csnnot'V'n. I have been il legally ik-alt with, and the Court will'right my wrongs. Common sense tells me and mv attorneys have told me. I know I am all right and will win this suit." "In case Duss wins," commented Tiie DlSEATCrt man, "yon will have this im portant matter of claiming your legal estate from the society." "Yes, and that amounts to more than $400,000," returned Mr. Feicht, nnd then, becoming excited again, cried, "but I do not want my money, my children do not want mv money; we all want justice, an that justice is niy reinstatement. I was de posed at an extraordinary session, was given no trial, J. had no chance to make a defense, my expulsion was not made unanimously, as the most im portant personage of all, "Mr. Jacob Hen rici, the President of the society, emphat ically and angrily refused tb sign tlie agreed ment to erase my name from the rolls of the members. Mr. Feicht then went on: Ills Great-Grandmother Sheltered Itapp. As for my right to a place in the society, a shott history will jsuffice to show to what I am entitled to. My maternal great grand mother, Mrs. Bender, was associated with Father Rapp in Germany in 1S03, and at tho time ho was peisecutcd by tho Homan Catholics alio- pro vided him with a hiding place and for three davs concealed him in her ow n home. Ho then came to America and n as lollowcd a year later by Mis. Bender. She had furnished him with money to come on and upon her arrival grave him $5,000 in oie. The (list voluntary contributions she made amounted tosomewbeielnthe neighborhood or $5,000. Her two daughters, my grandmoth er and grandaunt, were with h"er with their family of- seven children. In 1821, or therc aoouts, the descendants of Mi s.Iteiider camo in for an inheritance of $2 400 each. This amounting to $JS 400, was yolnntarily contributed to the society. In IS48 more wealth was given to the society ly my paternal relatives, and altogether tho sum amounted to something1, llkp $30,000 gl6n by my ances tois to tlie society. Since that time, with the advantageous use this money has been put to, it now amounts to more than $400,000. My mother attended to tho manv wants of rather Kapp dining the later days of hifl inc. nnu ner cuuuren resiuca in uie same house Father Rapp said to my brother and mo when we were hojs of 12 and 9 years le spectli el3 : Boys, you ai e the legal inheritors ot the money your fuieparontshave gien to tills society licrennd you will have a home as long as yon live. You are tho children of tho society and are entitlod to all of tho bon "cflts to be dcrHcd fiom it. Father Itapp' Deathbed Injunction. When on his deathbed ho called Jacob HenricI, then a young man, and said to him: "I want yon to promise me you will watch over the Feicht children as though thoy were yonr own flesh nnd blood. It was to their ancestors that tho society is indebted for part of its sucrcssand they ale Justly and legally entitled to anv and all benefits that may accrue to it." Mr. Hem ici promised, and until he bcc.inie at tho rucroy of John Duss ho watched over us and ours as a truo lathor, caring for lis, advising us when we went into the world for a short period, and when we rotornod he gladly took Us back. Ho is still kindly disposed towird us ami-is much averse to the contemptible methods Joung Duss has omploycd to work us an in-ury- Asaninstanoo of theso latter methods I can recite a lew that will show what I nie.iu. At the tlmo I wished to become a member of tho council Duss heaid of this and came to me with a number of most scut rilous and vilifying repous, which ho said cutno direct irom thncldois of tho society. He well knew that I was of an excitable nature, and when I heard tho stories he told me came from them I said things which he dis torted and exaggerated as he told it to them, and as a result their enmity was directed to me. Iwoikcdforl8 months in tho brickyard nnd refused to accept the salary. Mr. llen rici wanted me to let it go into the general fund of the society. I have done my duty thoroughly and now they wish to ueposo mo. The time for gardening has arrived at Economy, as elsewhere, but the immense plot of cultivated ground under Mr.Feicht's care is trod by no feet save those of Mr. Feicht and his children. His help has been taken away from him, and Wednesday one of lite elders tore up some of the trees Mr. Feicht had planted, thereby insulting the society's gardener and his vocation. The Society Spiling Some Possessions. A telegram from Beaver Falls to The DisrATCU last night announce: that the society transferred yesterday their entire interest in the Beaver Falls Gas Company to F. G. Baker, of New Brighton, and also sold a tract of land valued at $5,000, part of which is occupied by the gas plant. A verv wild rumor prevails there which could not be authenticated to the effect that the Economy Society intended to con vert all their enormous Interests in factories and real estate into cash and withdraw en tirely from the town. . Everybody at Economy yesterday was discussing the probability of the arrival of Dr. Cyrus Teed and his converts, and Mrs. Duss made the statement that her husband had not gone to meet Teed, but had gone to Philadelphia to attend a lawsuit. She also said she did not believe Dr. Teed was en route to Economy. STATELY HELD AGAIN. The Ii. & O. Agent Has Another Charge Filed Up Against Him to Answer at Court His Wire Preparing to Ask for a Divorce. TV. A. Stately, the Law and Order de tective who was arrested last Saturday night while presiding , over a gambling bouse in which ho had been living with Mrs. Sallie Welsh, a married woman, was given a hearing before Magistrate McKenna en. the latter" charge yesterday, and held for court in default of $1,000 bail. As he was held on the charge of keeping a gambling house on Monday, Stately now has two serious charges against him in court. His wife is making arrangements to procure evi dence, and there is a possibility of another charge being entered against him by the police. Stately made no defense when brought be fore the magistrate yesterday. On the way from jail he acknowledged his perfidy to Detective Shore and seemed to realize that he had gotten too deeply into crime to hope for extrication. The onlv witnesses ex amined were Detective Shore, the woman from whom Statelv rented the house in which he and Mrs. Welsh lived as man nnd wife and the Inspector. The detective's testimony related entirely to the facts of Mrs. Welsh deserting her husband and three little children in Wash ington qounty and living with the Law and Order Society's detective until she learned of the police beiug after her, when she was assisted out of town by Stately, who was ex pected to follow her next day. The lady who rented the house identified Stately as the man who hired it and lived in it with Sallie Welsh, whom she supposed was Stately's wife. This closed the testi mony and the magistrate remanded the Law and Order Society's best detective to jail for court trial. Mrs. Stately was not present at the hear ing, but two of his sisters were, though they took no part in the proceedings. On their back to jail Stately admitted that he had treated his wife shamefully in addition to his other acts, and could not blame her for suing for divorce, but his conversation showed that he has hopes of getting her to intercede and shield him irom the conse quences ot his crimes by co-operating with her to secure a divorce. Mrs. Stately seems to be a highly honorable woman, and it is questionable if she would consent to any such business. "IHIETY" AT 37. William Boss, Pittsburg's Best Known Compositor, Joins the Majority. "Billy" Boss is dead. And in every newspaper and job composing room in the city yesterday and last night the nimble fingers that picked up the type trembled and the copy was blurred by the tear-drop that came unhidden to the eyes of his old com panions. For everv "Print" in town was "Billy's" friend. "Billy" had not been with the boys for several months. Before he-left their circle he grew weak and told them all he felt so tired. And on each thinning cheek a hectio flush came and went so often that the boys talked about it. and sighed. And when he laughed a couch made sad accompaniment. So "Billy" went home to rest and journevon. Away back in the early 70's William Boss, then a mere lad, entered upon his apprenticeship in The DisrAicn. He was quick and capable, and became a skillful credit to his craft. He never roamed, but remained here until the great Copy-Cutter cried "All in!" "Thirty" at 37! During his long illness at his home on Cliff street, "Billy" received the tendercst care. It was his wish that his sister-in-law be his nurse and counselor. She was his constant attendant, and, sad to relate, her spirit joined his soon after the messenger of death entered the chamber of her charge. "Billy's" case in TnE Dispatch com posing room is "slug SO." The "sub" on that "frame" last night drew "Billy's" number in taking copy when work com menced there last evening. He also drew off the "hook" the obituary notice which ap pears in the column ot deaths in this issue. Lastly, when what precedes this paragraph was "cut up" and placed on the copy hook, "Billy's" "sub" got the first "take," the first word of which, as the reader will ob serve, is "Thirty." Strange coincidence, truly. SECOHD BAT OF THE C0NFEEENCE. Fresident Price, of the Livingstone, N. C, College, Refuses a Bishopric. The General Conference of the A. M. R Zion Church met again yesterday morning. Wednesday's proceedings were approved, with the exception of the appointment of Thomas C Hood, of Baltimore, as a marshal of the assembly. The most important business of the after noon session was a strong resolution against tho Sunday opening of the World's Fair at Chicago, and a refusal of Rev. Y. C. Price to a'ceept a bishopric in the church. After the convention committees had been an nounced. The resolution against the Sun day opening of the World's Fair Was pre sented. It was first decided to suspend the rules and pass the resolution unanimously, but this did not suit the radical members, who desired that the resolution be referred to a committee and then submitted for the signature of every delegate present. E. D. N. Jones and W. F. Fonvielle, students of Livingstone College, in North Carolina, of which Dr. Y. C. Price is Presi dent, presented a memorial from the entire body of students asking that Dr. Price be retained in his present position. When these resolutions had been presented, Dr. Price made a speech declining the bishopric. as he said it was his duty to remain with the college. The evening session was devoted to the annual sermon of Bishop Joseph P. Thomp son, of Newburg, If. Y. LIVELY qHASE FOB A THIEF. James Camp, a Gradnato of Morganza, Ar rested for Picking Pocket. Detective Fitzgerald had one of the liveliest foot races last night that he has had in years. The front office force has for some days been looking for James, alias "Rcddy," Camp, who is a Morganza gradu ate out on parole and who was wanted for pocket picking. Shortly before 7 o'clock last evening Detective Fitzgerald saw Camp on Fourth avenue and started after him. Camp was on the alert and sought safety in flight. The pursued and the pursuer dashed through a number of streets. Camp is quite a sprinter, but he found more than a match in Detective Fitzgerald, who succeeded in running him down on Sixth avenue. Camp attempted to show fijjlit, but the officer choked the courage out ot him and landed him in the Central station. In speaking of the case last night Inspec tor McKelvy said that Camp had caused the department more trouble than a gang of professional thieves. The Inspector claims that Camp is at the head ot a gang of young fellows who are pickpockets and who are taught by him, and they have succeeded in gathering in a number of pocket books lately. It is likely that Camp will be sent back to Morganza to serve out his time. THIRSTING FOR BLOOD. Mary Welch, a Pretty Buxom German Girl Becomes Insane Oyer HER FAILURE TO FIND HER LOVER. She Attacks Her Mistress With a Sharp Batcher Knife. HAND-TO-HAND PIG0T WITH A CLERK A hand-to-hand conflict between an in sane German girl of stout build and a vigor ous young man, attracted a large number of people to the restaurant of William Morris, at No. 163 Third avenue, about 3:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The girl was Mary Welch, whose pathetic and touching story was told in the columns of The Dispatch several weeks ago. She arrived in America about a year ago, com ing at the bidding of her affianced husband to be married. She had considerable money with her, an her widowed mother, who re sides in Alsace-Lorraine, is qnite wealthy. Mary missed her intended at the wharf in New York, but, having every confidence in locating him. she started in search. She traced him from city to city, but a seeming relentless fate pursued her and for nine long months she led the life of an Evan geline upon her pathetic quest. She heard of the young man in various places, but always just too late to find him. He had been sick and in a hospital when she arrived and consequently had been unable to meet her. Each Searching for the Other. Upon his recovery he corresponded with the girl's mother, and learned that Mary was in America, but her exact whereabouts were unknown. The lover, like Mary, then started in search of her. Mary visited the various large cities, even going as far west as Chicago, and finally coming to Pittsburg, where her last money was ex pended. The many disappointments the unfortunate girl had experienced affected her mind, and wheu she found her self without the means of return ing to her home in Alsace-Lorraine she was in serious ill health. She applied to the Department of Public Charities for assistance in finding her uncle, who she thought lived in Butler county. The girl then went to a Southside hotel, located on Carson street, and began working to pro cure sufficient funds to enable her to return to her native land. The lady for whom she worked noticed mr ny peculiar things the girl unaccountably did, and finally was obliged to discharge her. She then pro cured employment In the restaurant of William Morris at No. 163 Third avenue. For a short time she acted rationally, but durinsr the nast several davs her actions , have been strange, to say the least- Her auacKS oi insanity came iu oijaauiuuitunj, and while thev lasted there was but one per son about the "hotel who could do anything with her. That person was Mrs. J. A. Moore, the wife of an electrician, and one of the lady boarders. Mrs. Moore had come little influence over Mary, and while tem porarily insane the unfortunate girl could be guided from the committal of any rash act she was about to do. Keeping a Crowd at Biy. Yesterday noon one of these attacks came upon the poor zirl, and, seeing Mrs. Morris, for whom Mary has an unaccountable aver sion, she sprang at her with a large butcher knife, exclaiming that she meant to Kin Mrs. Morris. The latter, greatly fright ened, called loudly for assistance, and when the male employes came in, Mary, thinking they wished to do her some bodily injury, began to seize various articles of crockery andlhuri it at them. Attracted by the unusual coramotlon,Mrs. Moore came downstairs and succeeded in pacifying the girl and for a few hours she was all right. About 3 o'clock, the attack returned and Mary made another rush for Mrs. Morris. This last time, Mrs. Moore failed to influence the girl and she was forcibly eiected irom the hotel. She fought desperately to get in and after having a hand-to-hand struggle with the young clerk of the hotel, she succeeded in getting in and was taken charge of by Mrs. Moore. Mrs. Morris said she was greatly in fear of the girl, and believed if she was allowed to remain at liberty that she would do some damage to someone. "I shall ask Mr. Morris to make .in information against the girl and have her tried for insanity." con cluded Mrs. Morris. The information will probably be made before Magistrate Gripp to-day.

FATJLK.NEE DOESN'T IIKE FITS. Willing to Pay His Wife's Board, but Won't 1.1 vo Willi ner. The Anti-Cruelty Society were called on yesterday to investigate a peculiar case on Beaver ayentie, Allegheny. It was alleged that Frank Faulkner, who lives on Manhat tan street, had turned his wife and 9-month-old child out of doors.

He took the two older children to live with him nnd she took the baby and went to live with a family named Hollerin on Beaver avenue.

WILL TAKE OUT PAPEBS. Chinamen Do JJot Want to Go Baelc to the Old Country. Second avenue and Grant street China men were much disturbed last night over the latest piece of legislation against their race. A talk with a numberof the almond eyed leaders developed the fact not a Chinaman in Pittsburg had ever made any pretense at becoming naturalized, but they will all mail themselves of taking out cer tificates of residence rather than go back to China and be unable to return. In an interview last night Quong Wo Sung, the dealer in Chinese things at 179 Second avenue, said: "None of the China men here have ever tried to be naturalized, but we will take out papers of residence because we do not want to go back to the old country unless we are allowed to come back. We would rather live here than in China. I guess we are not wanted in this country, but we do not want to leave." BOOS IN DANGEE. The City Catchers Will Open the Season on Monday. Next Monday morning the dog catchers will start out with orders to scoop in all dogs who do not wear the Department of Public Safety trade mark for 1892. Thus far about 2,000 license plates for 1892 have been issued, which, according to the num ber issued last year, means that there are about 8,000 dogs running loose without their life preservers and liable to the catchers' net. The first few days after the license plates were placed in the police stations for dis tribution the number taken out averaged nearly 300, but for several days past the number has been falling off When the catchers begin work next Monday they will continue all summer.

Fire Underwriters IncrcasePreminms Aboal 33 Per tent Oh DOWNTOWN BUSINESS PROPERTY. OTer $200,000 a Tear Taken Out of the fockets of insurers. PEESSING NEED OP A SALYaGE CORPS One of the direct results of the fire losses in Pittsburg of late has bf en a tremendous increase in insurance rates. The.merchauts of Pittsburg together with theinanufaetur ers have had ?200,000 a year added to their insurance cost. A leading member of the Fire Under writers' Association is authority for 'the statement that within the past GO days the rate of local underwriters on mercantile buildings and stock has advanced from 69 cents to 51 06, the rate on glasshouses has advanced from 25 cents to 33J4, and that on iron works from a range oflto2 percent tolto 1 percent. These are general increases qn property having ordinary locations and of an ordi nary character. On tall buildings and those which are regarded as extrahazardous owing to the nature of the stock, much larger in creases than those mentioned have been made. It is estimated that the annual fire pre miums in the Pittsburg district amount to about $1,500,000, of which about $500,000 is from mercantile and manufacturing proper ties. This was at the old rates, the. new ones making the aggregate about 51, 700,000. Xiosins Money on Their Policies. A number of the fire insurance companies of Pittsburg, during the past year, paid out more than 100 per cent of their premium receipts owing to the great fire losses, and it has become absolutely necessary for them to largely augment their revenue;. In speaking of the need ot a salvage corp this gentleman said that a majority of the fire companies represented here favored the maintenance of such an organization, but the minority refused to help pay for the ex penses of the corps. To do away with this difficulty, a bill was passed some years ago making it obligatory for all fire companies to contribute to a fund for such a pnrpose. The bill was vetoed by Governor Beaver on the ground that it was unconstitutional. It is not the fault of the local ngents of foreign dissenting companies that there is no salvage corps, for nearly all the Pittsburg agents agree on the necessity and useful ness of such an adjunct to the city fire de partment. It is suggested that the fire departments of Pittsburg and Allegheny unite in build ing a fireboat, which is almost as mnch needed on the north side of the Allegheny and Ohio as it is across these streams. Both Cities Heed rtreboats. Chief Brown is handicapped In regard to the boat by Councils, but he will doubtless succeed in getting it next year, and there is nq doubt that Chief Murphy will also urge an appropriation for a similar appara tus or one owned in common by the two cities. A great many insurance men fully indorse what Chief Brown savs of the draw backs in the use of a water tower and think the plan of using an elevator platform which he suggested as a substitute is a com mon sense solution of that part of the fire service problem. Chief Brown suggests that the insurance men in the Board of Underwriters make an effort in their own behalf br orcanizintr a salvage corps to protect goods in burning buildings from water. In all other cities like Pittsburg, he says, the insurance men have salvage corps, and they save enough property every year to more than pay their expense. The Chiefs sucreestion is that the insurance men here should spend less time in criticizing the fire department and more to doing something themselves.
