yppy, Mi j ILlllIlipiliUW " . t . rj "v it THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH SATURDAY. - MAT T. -"1892. 'O "DX," ward in the citv. As to the claims for brick, Ihave been 1G years in Council and in tlial time iiavc iail much attentiou to the subject of pavements. My belief and ex perience is that brick pavements in the resi dence portions of the city are superior to any other kind. There are no wor--c pave ments in the country than we have in Pitts lurnr. and if we would try a few brick pave-n.-nts, with a decent loundation, they would cost les?, wear longer and give better satis Uction than any in use. The vulcanite as plialt pavements in this city are miserable. They would wear out in ten years from the action ot sun and rain il never trod upon. Iliev require constant repair and are worn it in lie years when the contractors turn them over to the city. Chict lticelow, being called on by the committee, replied that his experience had been tliat brick pavements were a failure. Contractor laying them avoided assuming the care ol tiicni ior five years,, but in the ie street in thU city paved with brick the provision had been inserted without the contractr know ledge, and as a result the lepairs had been made, but had C-t :lii" Contractors ai:iny Dollars and still the pavements were not in good fcliape. Stockton avenue, Allegheny, had been paved w ith brick, but under the agree ment the contractor had to keep it in repair, end it was so worn that he had to repave it entire in three years. In delente of the asphalt pavements and their cot Mr. Uigelow said ours was as rud a any other, but cost more because coniraclors had to wait on their money, but an ordinance was to be presented to remedy this and then 1'ittsburg would get asphalt pavements under S3 per square yard. Wash ington was the only city that got them be lov S3, but it was regulated there by an act ol Congress limiting cost ol ail pavements There was little discussion by other mem bers of the committee on the subject, thoe who talked saving brick pavements were no good. Mr. Tord wanted a sub-committee appointed to investigate, but was voted down. The ordinance were then negative! recommended to Council, Dr. Evans" vote lieing the only one in lavor ot brick. As the meeting adjourned he exclaimed: There should be a sign hung up in this hall and it should read: "No improvements wanted here!" The doctor was bitterly sarcastic in his remarks and left the committee room in a slate of indignation. JAILED FOR 20 DATS. A Faltlilrs TV ire Charged With Cruelty to Hrr CMIil l)y Agont Dorentr. Mrs. Julia Frank hid a hearing before Alderman Kerr last night on a charge of cruelty and neglect, prelerred by Secretary Dorente, of the Anti-Cruelty Society. The defendant in the case, it was testified, at one lime lived happily with her husband, 3!ichael Frank, on Stockholm avenue. One dav "Wolfgang Stern came to board at the liouse. Mrs. Frank immediately trans-liM-rcd her affections and showed plainly Tier preference. Stern and Frank got in a Cent over the matter and Frank was worsted.

GOINGTDBEASCRAP, Glass Workers' Eepresenta- fives Here to Aid in Electing a Secretary. AE UGLY FIGHT EXPECTED, And the National Organization Jlay Be Disrupted. THE WAR AGAIXSTCAKE STILL ON. Over Fire Thousand Jlen. Involved in To Day's Contest. THE EAST AND THE. WEST LOCK HORNS The council of eight glass workers chargec" with the responsibility of electing a suc cessor to George L. Cake, late Sicretarj of the National Window Glass AVorUers' Asso ciation, will meet to perform that duty at the headquarters of the association at 8 o'clock to-night. The fight lor the Cake place is one of the hottest ever known to the national organi zation, and representatives from nearly every local organization in the United States are now in Pittsburg in behalf of one or other of the candidates lor the place. The council that will elect the Secretary is composed of Messrs. Church. AVinters, Fortune, Swearer, Jones, Cready and Sauer. All are residents of the Southside. There are at least a dozen candidates for National Secretary, but it was announced last night that the contest had narrowed down to a fight for the place between A. L. Faulkner, of Dunkirk, Iud.. and AVilliam Springer, of the Southside, Pittsburg. Contest Between East and West. It is a contest between the Eastern and Western ends of the national organization, and is said to be a continuation of the fight that resulted in deposing Secretary Cake. The AVestern representatives who were in Pittsburg last night claim that the Eastern end of the organization has formed a ring that has for several years controlled the organization and has elected all the national officers, while the New York, Philadelphia and other Eastern represen tatives in the city contend that they have been responsible for the organization, and should have the right to name its officers and to some extent dictate its policy. The friends of Denkirk last night served notice that unless their candidate was named lor Secietary they would carry the fight into the next national convention, and would refuse to re-elect John P. Eberhart, the President of the organization, and who, up to date, is a candidate for re-election without opposition. rive Thousand Workers Interetted. A President of the organization is to be elected at a national convention to be held in this city in November. The National Convention will be composed of 250 dele gates or one delegate for every ten pots in the organization. These delegates will ren resent nearly 3,000 glassworkers, and it is said that every member of the organization is directly interested and In one way or another is taking an active part in the con test for Secretary. "The light for Secretary is of vital im portance to our association," an officer of tho organization said last night. "The eight men who will name the Secretary are clothed with grave responsibility be cause on their action may depend the future success or failure of our Na tional Union. The fight between these eight men is now so hot and the council is so equally divided that it is barely possible that they will elect at their meeting to morrow iiight They may in that case de cide to meet again and ballot on Sunday, but I expect the election of a Secretary will be delayed until some day next week. Carried to the National Convention. "The contest which threatens our organiza tion is a stand-up fight between the East and the AVest. The West has the largest membership, but the East has so far con trolled the organization, and it looks to me now a though the fight would be carried to the National Convention, no matter which one of the candidates is chosen for Secretary. It is certain that the AVest will not submit to the election of Springer, who was made Secretary tempo rarily when Cake was deposed. Faulkner's lriends are in dead earnest, and they say they will not be content unless their man is chosen. It looks to me now as though the council ot eight would be com pelled to name a compromise candidate just to protect the organization, and to prevent another ugly fight for President at the Na tional Convention in this city in November. " AVAHT A MA1E DBATJGHTSMAN. The Committees Decide 2?ot to Introduce D-ensmakins Into the Hisrh School. The High School Committee of the Cen tral Board of Education met last night A recommendation was made that a mechanical draughtsman be elected Jo take charge of the diawing department at a salary of Sl, 200 per year. The vacancy was caused by the resignation of Miss Lucy Emmons. The report of the principal for the month of April showed an enrollment of 785 pupils, with an average attendance of 730. AVhen the High School Committee finished its business it met in joint session with the Committee on Text Books and Course of Instruction. The purpose was to hear Miss Ella Newton, who gave an expla nation of her system of dress cutting and fitting, in which she desired to give lessons in the High and Normal Schools. When she had concluded' the committees decided that they would not recommend to the board the introduction of dress cutting and fitting in the schools.

AnTone Can liny Building Supplies. Members and non-members of the Build ers' Exchange yesterday 'denied the pub lished reports that suits were to be brought against that organization because it refuses to sell building material to union con tractors. G. P.

Dr. Holland Talks at Length on This Sub ject Pittsbur; Should Have a LochI Collection The first Museum Founded by Alexander tho Great, The Kev. Dr. Holland, President of the Academy of Science and Art, delivered his annual address last evening on "Local Col lections," on the occasion of the regular monthly and annual meetings. Dr. Holland presided and W. L. Scaife acted as secre tary. The annual reports were received. That of Secretary G. H. Clapp showed a membership of 274. The report of Treas urer AV. S. Bell showed that the receipts had been ?3,000 and the expenditures the same. The Lecture Committee reported 12 lectures for the year. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, John A. Brashear; ATice Presidents, George A. Macbeth and James E. Keeler; Secretary, George If. Clapp; Treasurer, AV. & Bell; Councillors to serve for three years. Prof. F. C Phillips, Kev. W. J. Holland, Charles Davis and Alfred E. Hunt. Dr. Holland spoke at length on his sub ject and sought to impress his hearers with the importance of and benefit to be derived from the establishment of a local museum where thev could preserve rare, valuable and interesting objects and specimens that would be of local interest and of value to science. He gave a brief review of the his tory of museums, and said that what was probably the first museum was when Alex ander tlie Great gave a large sum of money to his preceptor, Aristotle, with which to make a zoological collection, etc The second museum was established in 1G57 at the Oxford University. The next was created bv an act of the British Parliament. Since its incention there has been spent on it 530,000.000. The purchasing has also brought gifts, and 100,000,000 could be de rived to-day from a sale of the effects of the British Museum. This country, he said, is behind in things of this kind, there being only two or three centers of mu seum activity in the United States. In England there are 154, at least, outside of the national collection. For a museum here they could gather together everything fiossiblc relating to the history of this ocality. The mineral and vegetable re sources, animal life, etc., are all suscepti ble of being illustrated, and it would be of immense importance not only to thelocality, but scientifically. He suggested that this academy take np the subject and have it made prominent. THEODORE HYLEB INDICTED. 1.1st or the Alleged Shortages of Bank Presi dent Dill, of Cleaifleld. The United States grand jury yesterday found true bills against AVilliam H. Dill, the Clearfield bank President, for embezzle ment; Theodore Myler, the ex-Assistant Postmaster of Allegheny, same charge, and James Kinley, for making counterfeit coins. Mr. Dill's offenses consist in the embez zlement of two cashiers' dre bills, on June 9, 1R91, amounting to 5,625 07 and 15.000, respectively; a note made by Putnam & Crockett, on June 2(1, of $2,500; one by the same makers, on August 22, ot $1,000; one made by the Caledonia Lumber Company, on July 22, amounting to $1,500, and one made by Putnam & Crockett, on Septem ber 28, of $2,000. There are two charges against Mr. Dill, one for embezzlement and one for falsely certifying to checks and notes. MEKITS OF A FISH POND. Clnbmen Golnc to Oh'-o to Investigate the I.ewIstown Reservoir. Since Fish AVarden Hague returned from Lewistown reservoir, nearBellefontaine, O., with 75 pounds of black bass, lecal anglers have turned to this locality with longing eyes. Lonny Long and B. C Christy left for the place last evening to investigate the merits of the pond. Both are prominent clubmen, and when they come home will report to their fellow-fishermen. Mr. Christy is a member of the AVhitcomb Club, and Mr. Long belongs to the Mark Twain Kod and Gun Club, the Batchelor Club and a few others. The owners of the reservoir will not allow a club to settle down on its banks, but they have no objections to small parties fishing as mnch as they please. AN ACCIDENT AVEBTED. An .Engine Makes a Futile Attempt to Bun A way With the IJml'ed. An accident was averted at the Union de pot last evening more by luck than any thing else. The two Ft AVayne engines had been connected with the limited, and the engineer of the second locomotive was busy oiling the machinery, when the pres sure of steam opened the throttle. There was nobody in the cab at the time, and the drivers commenced to revolve very rapidly. The oil can and torch in thehandsof the en gineer were knocked helter-skelter, and the man was slightly burned. The fireman jumped into the cab and turned off the steam. Strange to say, with all the motion the train was not moved. HARRISON'S VISIT DEFENDS On Hit Securing tho Presidental Nomina tion Next Month. The visit of the Mayor and C. L. Magee to AVashington seems to have been moderately satisfactory to both gentlemen, though aside from a recital of what occurred in their in terview with the President they have little to say. Those who have thought over the reports of the conference have decided that the President's acceptance of the invitation to come to Pittsburg on the Fourth of July is largely dependent upon whether he se cures a renomination in June. Sleeping Quarters for Postal Clerks. About 100 beds and mattresses were put into the Government building yesterday for the accommodation of the, railway postal clerks, who, while they remain in this city, will hereafter have comfortable sleeping quarters. The beds are single ones and of a length to give the weary clerks plenty of stretching room. Monkeyed Wilh 1h- Fire Alnrm. The alarm from box 218 about noon yes terday afternoon was lalse.

THEY HAVE BEEN RECOMMENDED By a Sub-Committee and ttio salaries and Districts Fixed. GREAT EFFORT TO QUASH THE ISSDE The Allegheny sub-Finance Committee last night recommended the appointment of five police magistraes, districted the city and fixed a line of salaries. This committee has met a number of times, and even what was done at last night's meeting may not stand. There are five members of the sub-Finance Committee. Last night there were only three present. Considerable discussion was bad before those present could decide whether that number constituted a quorum. AVhile it was a majority of the committee, they were not sure if it was a sufficient number to transact business. The commit tee finally decided to act and hand its re port to the general committee with the pro viso it be accepted, if that body thought the transaction legal. To Cdinply With tho Charter. The committee was composed of Charles Lewis, W. AV. Nesbit and Charles Simons. It decided it was necessary under the charter of the city to appoint the magis trates. To do this it recommended the fol lowing districting of the city and salaries: First "district First, Second, Third and Fourth wards, salary, Sl,500. Second dis trict Seventh, Eighth and Thirteenth wards, salary, S800. Third district Fifth, Sixth and Ninth wards, salary 5800. Fourth district Twelfth and Fourteenth wards, snlarv $200. Fifth district Tenth and Eleventh wards, salary J200. As yet there is no Fourteenth ward in Allegheny, but at the next meeting of Coun cils a part of Reserve township will be taken in. This will be the Fourteenth ward. The Finance Committee meets next Tues day night. The work of last night will then be presented, together with the busi ness trausacted at the other meetings of the sub-committee. It is not thought the recommendations will have clear sailing in the general body. There has been great antipathy against the appointing ot the magistrates by many members of Councils. Afraid of Losing Its Charter. There are numerous members, however, who say Councils cannot get out of approv ing the appointment, or else the city will have to give up its charter for a city ot the second class. It has also been stated that two magistrates were all that is needed. This is a popular opinion, but that seems to be out of the question it the charter is to be understood to designate five as the number. If the rec ommendations should get through the Finance Committee, there is a hard fight awaiting them in both branches of Conncil, where a great effort will be made to quash the issue. The sub committee on lighting recom mended the placing of 66additloual arc lights in different parts of the city. The commit tee was petitioned to recommend 100. It visited the points where lights were wanted, and concluded that 6(5 would answer the pur pose. This is the maximum number that can be appropriated during the year. The committee also approved pay rolls and bills to the amount of $4,514 O.l. The Committee on Charities recommended the award of contracts for the coming year. They were: Drug?, George A. Cellv & Co., $795 66: oys ters and flsh, George A. Wyland, $197 50; but ter and eigs, Y. C. Staving, $300: undertak ing, E. E. Hermann; shoes. It. Taggart, $S69 10:coal, L.

One Equeez-d Aronnd th? Shoulders and Another Ran Over. The accidents yesterday are not numer ous, but a lew of them are expected to re sult fatally. Here is the list: Smith Joseph Smith, aged 15 vears, living at the corner of Maple and Freeland streets, met with a serious and probably latal acci dent last evening. While crossing tho tracks at the head of the Knoxville Incline, ho was struck by a car. One wheel passed over him cutting off an aim and injuilug a leg.

In most eye and ear diseases permanent damage Is done In the early stages of tho disease before the patient realizes his con dition and determines on consulting an ex pert. This is the chief leason of many mom or less permanently blind or deaf. A few clnonio diseases are the only exception. When everybody learns to consult the most reliable oculist and auiist to be leached, in the very earliest stages of all such diseases, also utilize bis services lor the adjustment of glasses, tho pel centage of blind and de fective eyes and ears will decrease wonder fully, besides saving one-half tho expense lnciiired by tho present method ot delay, or treatment bv the incxpeiienccd.

Widencr and Elklns Looking After More Hapld Transit tines Would Like to Get the Syndicate Holding a Fran chise With AIl-Nlght Care. The latest movement of the big traction syndicate from Philadelphia is to gain con trol of tbe Citizens, Central, Second avenue and the West End lines. Messrs. "W. L. Elkins and P. A B. TVidener spent a busy day yesterday in the city. In the morning the annual meeting of the Pitts burg Traction directors was held. In tho afternoon it had been intended they would ride over the Fifth avenue and all the Du quesne lines by car and then go over the proposed new route in the East End in car riages, but the heavy ram at noon caused a change of programme, and if the trip is taken at all it will be taken this morning. The talk going yesterday about the at tempt to gain control of the other lines mentioned seems to have some foundation. It is known that some months ago that the stockholders of the Central Traction Com pany were oflered a proposition by which they were to receive a profit of about 55 a share on their stock, but it was voted on and declined by the board of directors. It was then announced that another offer would be made, and it was made yesterday, though what it was or what will be done with it coul'd not be learned. From all accounts the syndicate will have little trouble in capturing the Sepond avenue or the West End lines, though there will probably be a fight before they get the Citizens' into camp, and that is the one most desired. It is understood now that not much attention is being paid to the Manchester Traction, it being in such shape that a deal can be made at almost any time. A feeble attempt at denial of the pro posed changes on the Fifth Avenueand Du quesne lines was made yesterday, the posi tion assumed being that' the Duquesne line on Forbes street was to be abandoned. In its exclusive article on this subject yester day The Dispatch stated that Forbes street would be practically abandoned, but cars enough to hold the franchise will be kept running. The all-night cars would answer this purpose, and they are paying too well to be discontinued. A dividend of SI r0 a share on Pittsburg Traction stock was declared at yesterday's meeting of the Board of Directors. Thomas Bigelow tendered his resignation as Vice President, and C. L. Magee was elected in his stead. Senator William Flinn succeeded J. G. Wainwright, resigned, on the board. P. A. B. Widener, George C. Wilson, George W; and W. L. Elkins form the balance ot the board. Last night the traction magnates were in headquarters at the Duquesne Club, where conferences were held with the largest stockholders of a number of other lines, but no interviews could be secured, all requests therefor being answered with a polite, "Too busy to-night; call in the morning." A UNIQUE EXHIBIT. A Map or the United States Made of Fickles, Vinegar and Spices for the Fair. The Pennsylvania World's Fair Commis sion is doing some lively work. TJp to date the number of intending exhibitors from the State is 3j0, of which 250 are from Philadelphia. The majority of the other 100 come from Pittsburg. One ot the unique exhibits will be made bv a local firm. It will be a map ot the United States, 18x24 feet, made entirely of pickles, vegetables, fruit, eta, preserved by the company which makes the exhibit. The State lines will he accurately shown, and the lakes and rivers will be represented by vinegar. The larger cities will be indi cated by spices. The whole will be covered with a single piece of plate glass, which is being specially made for the purpose. The expense of this interesting exhibit of the pickling and preserving industry will be ?15,000. A HEW SOUTHSIDE 2IABKET. It Is to Cost 335,000 and Flans Will Soon Be Selected. A new set of plans for the Sonthside mar ket have been approved, and as soon as the specifications are completed contracts will be advertised for. The plans contemplate a ?35,000 building, and arc less elaborate than those first adopted, which were for a 550,000 building. Tho new plans have a small tower on each corner and another in the center, and provide for two stories and man sard Hoor. There will be no hallway on the second floor. The advertisement for pro posals will call 'or bids on a building with or without an arcade, that point being un decided. THIS IS THE SIXTH. Another of Agent IMcClnre's Detectives Be hind Prison Bars. Detective John Allen, of the Law and Order Society, was sent five days to jail yesterday ftvr drunkenness. Allen was in the East End Thursday night attending to society business, and in some way managed to acquire a jag. He wanted to fight with everyone he met, and an officer arrested him. When the policeman caught him he calmly reniark-d: "Release me; I am a Law and Order detective." This vas immaterial to the patrolman. Captain Stewart Has n Birthday.

A Contention Over the County's Bight to Settle for Them. MR. MERGER EXPLAINS HIMSELF. Suggestion Hade to Accept Lindenthal's Idea of a VIADUCT AND CROSSTOWK RAILROAD The question of the county building free bridges across the Monongahela and Alle gheny rivers, within the limits of Pittsburg and Allegheny, has created no end of dis cussion among Pittsburg lawyers. Some of them contend the county has no right to pay for the construction of a bridge within the city limits any more than the county has a right to help pay for improvements in Schenley Park, while others argue that the county has a right to bridge the rivers where ever the county authorities see fit. It is also claimed that the county has the au thority to condemn any of the private bridges spanning either of the rivers in Pittsburg, and appropriate them to the public use after paving to the owners the price fixed in the condemnation. County Commissioner Mercer says there Is no danger of the burden of free bridges being inflicted upon the taxpayers of the county unless the county is willing to assume such responsibility. "There can be no snap judgment taken in such cases. The County Commissioners, the Connty En gineer, the grand jnry, and at least two of the county Judges must pass upon a petition for a free bridge before the county can act, and therefore there need be no alarm at the prospect of the county being burdened un less a good and sufficient reason exists for it being burdened." Pittsburg Pays the Freight. Mr. Mercer's recent comparison of figures ,was made to demonstrate the condition of the county's finances and to show that the city has paid to county improvements much more money than the county has or ever will repay in the way of improvements for public benefits. George Shiras III. said yesterday that the free bridge question was one that would likely create some trouble and would pro voke many legal contests, but he re fused to say whether the city or the county should make the city bridge" free. The proposition to place the responsi bility of free bridges upon the county has at least stirred up the question, and has greatly encouraged the free bridge advo cates, and a movement is now on foot to have the city place the money already ap propriated for free bridges at the disposal of a commission to begin the work of constructing a free bridge at once, or, if necessary, to make the first payment on one of the present bridges to be purchased by the city. One proposition of the free bridge advo cates is to have the city accept the survey made by Gustav Lindenthal for a huge bridge across the Monongahela river. Lin denthal designed and guided the construc tion of the old Sixth street bridge, now being rebuilt, the Seventh street bridge and the Smithfield street bridge. He assisted at the construction of the famous Brooklyn bridge, and he is now engaged at construct ing the Hudson river bridge. Lindenthal's plans and specifications for a bridge to the Southside were drawn on a magnificent scale, and contemplated the connection of the Southside and the adjacent boroughs with Allegheny and the outlying districts beyond Mt. Troy. A Combination of Bridge and Eallroad. In connection with the monster bridge he contemplated a cross-town railroad, which, it is now argued, would, with the facilities of rapid transit, enable the Southsider to cross from Bsltzhoover borough to Mount Troy in 30 minutes at the outside limit. The scheme was to have the bridge cross the river on the Pittsburg side at Milten berger street. Tlie proposed bridge was to have two abutments and an elevated ap proach on either side. The cross-town rail road was to extend over the Southside and back into the adjacent boroughs, then cross the river and extend np Miltenberger street and up Dinwiddle street to the Seven teenth street incline and then across the Allegheny river by the Sixteenth street bridge to the foot of Troy Hill. An incline up that mount was proposed which, it was contended, would open up an almost bonnd less territory, both on the South and North side. This scheme it is now argued would make Schenley Park easily accessible to people in every part of" the two cities. It would, it is claimed, enable people living at either the Mount Troy or tlie Southside end of the cross-town railroad to make easy connections with the Fifth ave nue and Forbes street railways to get down into the business portion of the city, and would relieve the crowded portion of the city from much of the heavy hauling from the Southside mills to freight depots and delivery places. "The outlook for free bridges is brighter to-day than it has been since the agitation began several years ago." Councilman Walls said yesterday. "The Lindenthal scheme and all the other schemes promise but one thing. They all tend toward tree. bridges."

CHEISTIE MAY DZCLIHE, Thonsb His Name Appears In the 1893-03 Catalogue as Professor or Theology. The Key. Robert Christie, a Scotchman, who is at present pastor of the House of Hope, the largest Presbyterian Church in St. Paul, Minn., on a salary of &3,000 per year and a permanent position as long as he desires, received a call last winter from the Western Theological Seminary, in Alle gheny, as professor of theology in that institution. It was understood that he had accepted the call, and the news of his ac ceptance was extensively cirtuiaicu. His name appears in the catalogue of the seminary as one ot the faculty, which is sent out for the term 1892-93. Last Thurs day the Rev. Christie arrived in thiscity, but left shortly afterward, when he said he would inform "the institution by telegraph on Monday whether or not he would accept. Should his answer be contrary to expecta tions the seminary will probably send a call to either TCev. Robert H. Fulton, of Phila delphia, or the Rev. S. B. McCormick, of Allegheny. Dr. Holland, of the Bellefield Avenne Presbyterian "Church, was seen last evening in regard to the matter. He said that Rev. Mr. Christie had returned home to consult with his family, and that no trouble had arisen to cause Mr. Christie to decline. By Monday it will be definitely known whether the Rev. Mr. Christie will accept the pro fessorship. The question of salary may have some influence in the matter, as the one offered him by the Seminary is not as large as the one he receives at St. Paul.
