XEYIX, OF SEWICKLEY, Supposed to Eaye Started for Europe in Search of Health. MS FAMILY IS APPREHENSIVE, Eut Uope to Hear of Him From Across the Atlantic Ocean. a talk wrrn nis wife's relatives Alexander B. Xevin, the es-Cashierof the First National Bank of Allegheny, has mysteriously disappeared and his family are greatly cscrcUed over his present whereabouts and the greater part of the population of Sewickley are busy advanc ing theories of a more or less sensational character regarding the cae. Mr. evin has been in ill health ever since he retired from business, and he has been spending the greater part of the last year iu a fruitless search for health. Sev eral weeks age he went to Denver with his brother Hugh and his cousin "Walter Kevin. He remained in that city tor some little time a:iu went irom there to Dallas, Tex., ' where he spent a lortnisrht with a relative. He then proceeded to Galveston and there met an Knglishinan with whom he became quite intimate.. The Englishman accom panied the part by water to New York City. lost SIcht or in New Yori In Gotham, Mr Nevin was introduced to a brother-in-law of his Galvcstoi acquaint ance, and alter spending a lew clays in com pany witi his relative; at the Gil scy House Mr. Nevin suddenly dis appeared. He left no word of any kind and announced his intentions of leaving the city to no one. It mar be that he has taken an ocean voyage and may be heard ot in some continental city before many days elapse. This theory has been accepted by certain members of the Nevin family, although a thorough search of the register books at all of the steamship offices has been made, and neither his name nor handwriting ap pears at any place. Mr. Nevin had a large sum of money in his possession when he left for the "West, as he expected his trip to be an expensive one. and is sup posed to have carried about 7,000 in cash upon his person. A close relativ- of the Nevin family at Sewicklev last night, who desired his name withheld, denied any suggestion of family trouble. Gone In Search ot Health. "There is nothing whatever in this report of Mr. Nevin leavirg on account of family troubles," continued the gentleman, "as there are none. Hishomelifc is pleasant and amicable and always has been. AVe think Mr. Nevin has sailed lor Europe to benefit his health and will be heard from within a few davs. He has been fearful of lollowing his father to the grave, who died from the same ailment a short time ago. Previous to go ing West Mr. Nevin visited some of the health springs in West Yirginiaand seemed to derive some little benefit therefrom. He may be en route to Carlsbad or some other European health resort, "We do not entertain any fears that he has been loully dealt 'with and think such surmises are ridiculous. The English man witn whom he was last seen is prob ably his companion en route to the Old "World. Mr. AValter Nevin has returned from New York and does not seem to be greatly worried over the disappearance." Thought It Very Strangp. A. B. Booth, a brother-in-law nf Mr. Nevin, was seen at the Nevin homestead and declared there was nothing at all to say regarding Mr. Nevin's disappearance. "When The Dispatch man told him of the manv rumors floating about the village of Sewicklcyhe replied that he had nothing whatever to say. "Do you think your brother-in-law left New York of his own volition?" "Yes," laconically replied Mr, Booth. i'Do vou expect to hear lrom him soon ?" "Yes."" "Had the Englishman anything to do with his disappearance ?" "No." "Are the New York police looking for him?" "No:" "Are you perturbed over the disappear ance?" "No!" "Do yon not think it strange?" "Yes" and Mr. Booth leit the town bathed in moonlight and refused to be in ttcyieued any more. KILLED BY THE GEIP. A Fonr-Tcar-OU Crushed to Death on Ftnn Avonne. About 7 o'clock last night, car No. 234 of the East Liberty branch of the Citizens' Traction line, ran down and instantly killed Mary Larozosky, a four-year-old Polish girl, at Fifteenth street The child was playirg on the street in front of her home with some companions. She bad just come out from the house after eating supper and still clutched a piece of bread in her hands. She was playing "tag" and trying to run across the street directly in front of the car. The pilot struck her knocking her doun, and she was doubled up in an almost unrecognizable mass under the lront wheels. The gripman of the car, J. I. Crout, when he saw the impending catastrophe, put on the brakes and stopped the car in a remark ably short distance, but it was too late. Tlie body was taken from under the wheels and carried into Mershon's drng stoie at Sixteenth street. Here an examin ation showed that both arms and a leg were broken and the forehead was crushed in. The mother of the child was sent for and created a f-cenc in the drugstore, attacking, with all the lerocity of an animal, the con ductor and gripman of the car that caused the child's death. Later, the body was re moved to the child's home at 1515 Penn avenue. The father was at work in Slioen bergcr's mill and did not know of th acci dent until some time alter it occurred. Crout took his tar through to East Liberty and then went to the Nineteenth ward police station and gave himself up. His lriends furnished ?1,000 bail before Alder man Hvndman and he was released. WILL BE DISSOLVED TO-DAY. Tlie Johnstown Flood Commission "Will goon lSe a Thing or the Past. The Johnstown Flood Commission will be formally dissolved at a meeting in Phila delphia to-day. James B. Scott; S. S. Mar vin and Reuben Miller, the local representa tives, left for the Quaker City last evening. Mr. Scott says the commission had finished its work a year ago, and it was practically dissolved then. Nothing now remains to be done except to unveil the monument in the Johnstown cemetery. About 750 un known dead are buried there in rows, and the monument will be erected in their honor. The ceremony will take place May 31, the tmrd anniversary of the disastrous Hood. WAITING ON THE CITY. If Diamond Street U Widened, the Oprra Home "Will be Abandoned A Ble Of fice llulltllnr to be Built by the Cole mans In 1894. The new ordinance said to be in course of preparation for the widening of Diamond street was not presented to Councils yester day. The claim was made that a petition was freely signed by owners of property affected favoring such a move. "Willis F. McCook, one of the directors of the Cole man estate, was asked yesterday what dis position would be made of the Opera House property. "I wish Thk Dispatch, or anybody else would tell us what to do," he said. "We have discussed all sorts of schemes, but can come to no conclusion! Everything de pends on what the citv will do. If Dia mond street is widened, then the Opera House is spoiled, and it will have to come down. The slice to be taken ofl the prop erty will ruin the auditorium, and it can't be remodeled. If Diamond street is not widened, the chances are the theater will remain. Certain it is, that property on Fifth avenue is too valuable for a theater, and we wouldn't build another. It doesn't pay. This much has been decided. Th'e building facing Fifth avenue will be torn down in 1891 when all the leases expire. On the site a largeoflice building with storerooms below will be erected. If Diamond street is not widened a straicht entrance, and a much better one thin the winding way now, will be made into the Opera House from the street. This will push the present entrance up Fifth avenue. "A few yeirs ago when the widening of Diamond street was first talked of, Mr. Miller, one of the directors, had elaborate plans made to turn the property into a hotel. Nobody will deny that another first class house is needed iu Pittsburg, but we iound that to put up the kind of hotel we wanted, the building including the ground would cost $1,000,000. "We couldn't get a man in Pittsburg to assume such a responsibility in a lease, so the hotel scheme was aban doned. A hotel will not be erected on the site. The Coleman estate is held by women, and none of them could personally manage a hotel. If there was a male to look after the business, then we would build a first class house that is so badly needed here." Mr. McCook lauched at the lake that the Coleman onlyliad a ground rent, and that the lease would expire in a lew years. They own the land in fee simple, and their title is as good as gold. "When the building on Filth avenue is torn down it will knock out the Harris Theater. COLLECTOR GEEEB'S PROPOSITION. Wants a .Tory ot Allegheny IJnsIness Men to Hear Ills Armaments. Delinquent Tax Collector Greer, of Alle gheny, has come home from the sea shore and to-day was over in Pittsburg on busi ness, and in referring to the charges that his ofiiee was not authorized by law said: 1 have been out of the city for ten days and havojust arrived home. During my abs-ence 1 read in The Dispatch that tlo le formers were after my scalp with large knives. My scalp i bare enough now and I cannot afford to loose any more hair; but it is not theielormers that ate after it, it is James S. Rutan, because I will not support liim for the IiCRlslatuie. I was born and have lived nil my lire In the city of Alle cheny and have real estate, and have more interest In the wellare of the city and her taxpayers than has James S. Uutan, who has only lived a few years in the city and does, not own one dollar's worth of leal cs tate'and does not pay onodollnrof city tax. Xow I hare a pioposition to make. It is fliis: Let the officers of tlie reform associa tion call a number of business men together not defeated or broken-down politicians, but snch men as William It. Thompson, John II. Ricketson, A. M. Byers, R. H. Boggs, John Walker, Junies Bovaid. II. Buhl, Henry Holdship. Lewis Irwin, James JIc Cord, riiii Ksvmer and I will appear be fore them and explnin the method of colleot ini the delinquent taxes under the act of I860 and under the nets of 1677 and 1878, as the city is now doins, and if they decide it is for the best interests of tlie city to abolish the office of delinquent tax collector and re turn to the old method of collecting delin quent taxes then I will cheerfully resign my position of delinquent tax collector and step down and out. SUBBING HP BUSINESS KEN. Mr. Farquhar Tlero to Interest Manufact urers in the World's Fair. Arthur B. Farquhar, Executive Commis sioner of the Pennsylvania "World's Fair Commission, arrived in the city last evening on the limited. He registered at the Mo nongahela House, and had retired before 30. Mr. Farquhar recently returned from Europe, and he is an enthusi astic worker in the interest of the Keystone State's industries. He has come here to arouse more interest among the merchants and manufacturers. He will meet the Chamber of Commerce and other trade organizations to-dar. He says he is very anxious to impress upon the members the importance of Pittsburgers making a creditable display at the Fair. The Philadelphia business men propose to makt a fine showing, and Mr. Farquhar thinks there is no reason why the people here shouldn't do the same. "William Quinn, the Pittsburg agent of the board, has complained to Mr. Farquhar about the tardiness of manufacturers in ap plying for space. In the Quaker City over 250 merchants and manufacturers have notified the commission that they would ex hibit. In Pittsburg about the only appli cants for space are the Carnegies, the Na tional Tube "Works and Heinz & Co., the pickle men. CHAEGED "WITH CONTEMPT.

Captain Ynndersrilt Sajs tlio Froducsrs Must Restrict the Ontpiit. Captain J. J. Yandergrift left for "Wash ington last evening. He thinks as soon as the oil producers learn how to regulate their business they will get better prices for their product. At present rates he says oil is not produced with profit. The Captain says manv of the oil men are working for glbry. He believes limiting the production is th'eir only salvation. He claims if the output of Pennsylvania were reduced to 50,000 barrels per day that the price would go up in a short time. The Captain states that the entire production of the country ought not to be more thau from 75,000 to 80, 000 barrels daily. At present the Pennsyl vania output he says(is over 100,000 barrels per diem. He claims that when oil got scarce consumers would have to bur it, ladles' Gold Watch Free. Put your guess in, jadies.

Large and Interested Throngs Crowd the Criminal Court. NEWSDEALER SHARP'S EXAMINATION Hostility was in the Tery atmosphere in the Criminal Court yesterday, and seemed to rant and tear around with little regard for pedigree, position or personality. The McClure perjury case was on and the array of legal talent, of interested parties, and of open-mouthed curiosity seekers was so large that the court bailiffs had a difficult time in maintaining the characteristic dig nity of the Allegheny Criminal Court. The Law and Order agent, Robert Mc Clure, was in the midst of the circle of his attorneys, Colonel "W. D. Moore, D. F. Patterson and John Marron, and sitting just in the rear of these were the trusty supporters of the I. & O. man. Across the table were located Major A. M. Brown, Dis trict Attorney Burleigh and his assistant, Harry Goehring, and a short distance away was the prosecuting witness, James M. Sharp, one of the Southside agents of the daily papers, and a number of his wit nesses. The crowd without the ratline were packed in tightlyand seemed to have a hard siege of it, with the pushing, shoving and heat. An occasional feminine face set off the sterner sex with a mildness that seemed entirely alien to the state of affairs in the vaulted room. Agent McClare's Nervous Movements. Agent McClure presented an interesting spectacle. His small gray eyes roved nerv ously about the courtroom and the pale red tinge about the eyelids denoted something like an attack of insomnia. One long, thin hand rested on the arm of Colonel Moore's chair and the patrician- fingers beat an in cessant tattoo. He wore a small black bow at his neck, which somehow or other did not have the Beau Brummel-like aspect that some of the other'gentlemcn's neckwear had. His collar was low, excessively low, and a dark, undulating line was visible near the upper edge. His whiskers, of a strag gling cut, had been carefully brushed, and the white and brown colors contrasted in quite a respectable manner. His broad foot seemed to be inspired with a St. "Vitus-dance-lik affliction and kept flipping up and down most rudely. Some said Agent McClure was nervous but the gentleman had others than admirers in the room, and it was they who thusly spoke. The case was called about 11:30 o'clock, after the crowd had become more or less im patient nnd signified their feelings by cer tain unkind little remarks toward the un feeling ones who trod on their toes. The call for the jury was responded to by 12 men, but, as they were not good and true enough for the counsel in the case, they were allowed to silently and disappoint ed! r Hit out of the room for others to take their places. A Jary Finally Impaneled. The challenging ceased at last and the jury was impaneled. The crowd shifted on their other foot and looked expectantly at the attorneys. But they were again dis appointed, as a long and tedious argument ensued regarding theadmittance as evidence ofacopyof the transcript of Sharp's con viction before Aldermao Itohe. The de fense averred that it was incompetent, and far many moments did the gentlemen argue. The question was at last depided by the Court agreeing with the counsel for the de fense, and maintained that the transcript was only competent when sworn to by the magistrate from whom it was obtained. The time wore on and when Judge Single softly remarked that it would be expedient to resume, Mr. Sharp was bade to take the stand. He did so, and testified that he had been summoned to appear before Al derman Michael Itohe, of the Thirteenth ward, at No. 599 "Wylie avenue, on the 3d day ot March, to answer a charge of selling papers on the Lord's day, February 28, to Bobert McClure. He said he had appeared and testified that he received no remunera tion for anything he had disposed of on that or any other Sunday during the last six months, he said he saw upon the occa sion of his trial Mr. Bobert McClure for the first time. Doesn't Asree With McClare's Testimony. Agent McClure had testified before Alderman Itohe that be had got and paid for a paper about 7:20 o'clock Sunday morn ing, February 28, and, being in a hurry to catch a car, had picked a paper from a pile of others upou a counter ana left a nickel for his purchase. Mr. Sharp said that upon the morning in question he had been at the breakfast table and occupied a seat where he could see everything that transpired within his store, and that neither McClure nor anyone else had entered the store, and denied emphatically that any papers had been sold. Attorney John Marron began the cross examination in a manner well calculated to inspire the witness, the Court and the crowd with an idea that Mr. Sharp had per verted the truth, and started in on the ex amination with a number of impressive, halt audible ejaculations of satisfaction as the witness admitted that he was a new-sagent and a man, and made a living and other es sential features. Mr. Marron was disturbed by the low, apologetic cough of Agent Mc Clure, who sat just behind him, and finally, when this thing became unbearable to him, he turned and sharply ordered Mr. McClure to desist, and with a slight blush and an in creased rapidity of his afflicted foot Mr. Mc Clure desisted. The Result of the Cross-Eiamlnallon. Mr. Sharp was asked by Mr. Marron a score or more times where he was upon the morning of Febrnary 28 at 7:20 o'clock and how he happened to be there, and when he began on' another tack the poor witness looked 'tired, hot and cross, but he kept his temper admirably. The crowd didn't. They were not as well pleased, but Mr. Marron was oblivious to the feelings of the crowd, as he was getting well warmed up to his task and Mr. McClnre had ceased his cough ing. Sharp's cross-examination lasted fully one and a half hours and the result obtained by Mr. Marron was that McClure had posi tively sworn to buying a paper which had not " been sold; that the store was open at that particular time in that particular morning because the servant girl was cleaning it out Furthermore, that Mr. Sharp always arose at 3 o'clock on Sunday mornings, so he could go to the newspaper ofifces and let the paDers be subsequently delivered to carriers and newsboys; that he always eats breakfast Sunday morning, and also on other mornings, and generally ate about the same time on Sunday mornings; that he left his store about 9 o'clock on that morn ing, that his wife left at noon, that the servant girl left before either, and that there were absolutely no papers sold on Sundays. Tho Cash Handled on Saturday Nlclit. He said the newsboys and carriers paid for their papers the night before they were de livered, and that there were generally a number of papers left over from the amount given to the newsboys. Then came Alderman Eohe with large Tolumes of books and small volumes of voice. The Alderman swore that McClure had made an information before him against Sharp, and that he had testified to pur chasing a paper of Sharp. Then the Alder man presented his court records, sivore to them, identified a number of documents and after the attorneys had argued for a while longer and cross-questioned the poor Alderman until his spectacles were moist with tears, the court adjourned until 9:30 o'clock this morning, and the tired Court, and the tired crowd and the tired witnesses wended their erratic way to ths elevators. FLYNN HELD FOR COURT. One Hearing Where Tost Does J'ot Bale the Roost Thomas Flvnn, the L. O. Spy, Is Held for Conrt Under Heavy Ball. There was a Law and Order hearing yes terday. Attorney Yost was present, but he wore a very demureair, and preserved a consistent silence. The explanation was that he was in the office of a real live Alderman named Gripp, not 'Squine Eohe's underground hall of justice. The prisoner was not an honest paper carrier but one of the league's spies, Thomas Flynn, alias Magee. He was charged with having a criminal operation performed on a girl he called his wife. Chief Mognl Mc Clure, of the Law and Order aggregation, was not present, for reasons best known to himself and the court where he is answering a charge of perjury. On the whole it was a real live'eourt and nineteenth century jus tice was meted out to Flynn. He is held for court under $800 bail. " Ex-Judge Fetterman opened by placing Miss Morrison, assistant matron ot Be thesda Home, on the stand. Yost did not rant or instruct the 'Squire, but simply sank into insignificance and a chair in an obscure corner. In fact, he was as silent as any other relic of the dark ages should be. Meanwhile the nurse told her story. Flynn had his wife admitted to the Home under the name of Magee in January. She stayed 15 days. He brought her back on Easter Thursday, and the Sunday following she was admitted. On the next Saturday Flynn called and was alone with her for half an hour. After he went away she became worse. The nurse was alarmed, and on investigation found an operation had been performed. She asked the woman if she wanted to see her husband, and when the nurse started to find him Mrs. Magee told her to go to the Law and Order office and ask for Flynn, not Magee. Dr. Mover was called, and also testified that an operation had been performed with some blunt instrument. The alderman then held Flvnn for court. TWELVE GOOD MSN AND TBTE.

Committed Involuntary Suicide While At tempting to Preserve the Peace. There is a dead dog in "Wilkinsburg. This fact might not be remarkable in itself, but considering that the departed managed his taking off in an unusual and singularly painful manner, the event is worth chron icling. He was the property of Mr. V. B. McCarthy, the well-known druggist of Penn avenue, Wilkinsburg. The dog was a valu able setter, and was the pet of the house hold. His owner fastened him to the in side of a picket fence in his yard for the night, and left him there to bay the moon or bark at cats, as his custom was, until morning. It is supposed that a particularly offensive cat disturbed his meditations dur ing the night, and induced him to try and stop her breath. He jumped over the fence at one bound, as he had often done before, but, unfortunately, not with the usual satis factory results. The rope attached to his collar became snarled in the top of the pickets, and the dog hung to it and slowly strangled to death. "When Mr. McCarthy went down to the yard in the morning to release his pet, he iound him dangling, a cold corrtse, to the fence, with an agonized expression on his countenance. The cat was snugly curled up in its own particular yard basking in the sun, but the dog that had conscien tiously tried to punish her for disturbing the peace in the night had run its race, and was nothing but an unpleasant looking in animate object hanging to a fence.

The Baker Ballot law Makes the Work More Difficult and 02CLY INTELLIGENT MEN ARE WANTED "Within a few days Chairman "W. J. Bren nen, of the Democratic Committee, and Chairman John Gripp, of the Republican Committee of Allegheny County, will unite in a petition to court asking for the ap pointment of 360 United States Supervis ors. Each of the two County Chairmen will name 180 men whom they will ask to be appointed and the supervisors will be assigned to duty in Pittsburg and Allegheny andMcKcesport. These supervisors will be appointed to serve under the new election laws and the County Chairmen say they propose to have the best men available for the service. There will be about 10 days work for each and each will be paid 50 for his labor. The total cost to the general Government will be 518,000. "Chairman Gripp and myself have talked informally about this matter," Chairman Brennen said 'last night, "and we have agreed to recommend for appointment to the conrt only men who are thoroughly qualified for their work. Only Intelllcent Men Meed Apply. "We will name only men of intelligence and men of good moral character, and the supervisor must reside in the district in which he is to work. "The average man who wants to servo as supervisor has absolutely no idea of what his duties will be under our new election laws," Mr. Brennen said. "And the public does not know, cither, what the duties of a supervisor are. In the first place the super visor must make a perfect and complete registration of all the persons entitled to vote in his district. The lists, under the new law, ore to be made from the streets and numbers, nnd entirely new ones must be prepared. The old lists are not to be used under any circumstances. This work must be done early in order to get a full list of the voters before they leave town for the summer. After this is done the supervisors must, on September 5 or 6 go over the lists again and make correc tions, by striking out the names where the persons have removed from the dis trict, and on the 7th and 8th of the same month they must sit with the assessors. Harder Work Than Usual. "While these appointments are for the coming Congressional election, the appoint ees are, under the law, obliged to serve for the Presidental election as well. This will bring out a bigger vote, and, in view of the new ballot lair, may make the work to be performed somewhat harder than on previous elections. That is the reason lam especially desirous of having good men appointed." "Will supervisors be appointed in all the Congressional districts in the State?" was asked. "The law contemplates supervisors for cities only and in this county we will ask the appointmentof men for Pittsburg, Alle gheny and McKeesport. The appointments will likely be made in June. THE rOEESTEKS PAEADE T0-DAT. Delegates Nearly All Here and a Credit able Display Expected. Nearly all the delegates to the State Court of the Ancient Order of Foresters, which meets in Union "Veleran Legion Hall this morning, came into the city last night and are quartered at the various hotels. The first session will be held this morning for organization. This afternoon the parade will take place, the column moving from the corner of Water up Smithfield street at 2:30. It is expected that 3.000 men will be in line, representing only the strength of the order in this county and the State officers. No outside lodges will be here, and, consequently, none of the handsomely uniformed companies of the order will be seen, there being none located here as yet. When the procession reaches the Alle gheny Parks the beautiful custom of plant ing the Forester's tree will be observed with appropriate services. The ceremony will be brief, the only speech being one ex planatory ot the custom by Hon. Alfred Marian d. The mass meeting at Veteran Legion Hall this evening is to be open to everybody. One of the features will be the presenta tion of a large silk trophy banner to the lodge turning out the largest number of men in the parade. Beginning to-morrow morning the business sessions of the State Court will begin and continue until Friday evening. Each session will begin at 9 o'clock and continue until 5 in the evening. To-morrow's business will be the report of the Law Committee on a new constitution, which will probably consume two days, as the committee has made several radical changes which are expected to cause dis pute. On Friday the other committees will report, and in the evening, the only night session, the election and installation of the ensuing year's State officers will be he'd. A BOY WHO BUNS AWAY.
