XO GREW DANGER OP AN EPIDEMIC
Tlie guardians of the public health in this
city are keepinc a watch of extra vigilance
on the important ciargc under their care
ju't now, and, as a result, within the past
month there have been from 4,000 to 4,500
people goingabout wearing upon their arms,
in sonic eves their legs, the Pasteur badge
a vaccinate. In ftct, health officers in all
the large population centers in the country
liave been on the alert for months, fearing
an outbreak of the loathsome disease for
which inoculation is the only sure prevent
ive It is not that the sanitary conditions in
this or other cities are conducive to the dis
ease, for the Pittsburg health officials de
clare this city was never before so well pro
jected and generally healthful as now, but
there is a fear that history will repeat it
fell. In order to carry out that maxim a
MnilSpoT epidemic should make its appear
ance during the next v car.
Smallpox Doe Kvery Decadr.
livery ten or eleven years, according to
the records, the American continent has suf
fered from a scourge of this dread malady,
and Pittsburg has always had her share of
it. The last epidemic was in 188L Ten
years before that the worst general epi
demic of the disease on record occurred. In
1870 the Lcsislaturc passed the first regis
tration act in this State, compelling a re
port of every case of contagious disease, and
there are complete lecords of such diseases
for the j cars succeeding, but not prior to
that time in this city.
In 1871, when smallpox swept the country
from ocean to ocean, with a population of
Ho.OOO Pittsburg had a total of over 1,800
cases, and 471 were fatal. Tew other cities
suffered so greatly. A temporary city hos
pital was erected and 116 patients were
treated there, of whom 28 died, the other
cases being treated at their homes or the
other hospitals. In 1872 the disease contin
ued for a few months, there-beinc 19 deaths
recorded, but for the succeetflng eight years
there was only an average of about four
cases a year.
The last Eolrternic In nttsbure.
In August, 1881, the next epidemic ap
peared. By the end of the following Janu
ary 1.578 cases had been reported, 48S of
which vv ere fatal. As the city's population
had increased to 1C5.000, the death rate was
not as large as ten years before. During
the first six months of 18S2 oer 1,100 cases
weie reported and there were 235 deaths, the
3 ear's record being 1,136 cases and J00 death
In 1SS3 there were sisnsofa return of the

HO TYPHOID FEVEK EPIDEMIC.
Dr. Llnderman Asked to Explain That
Story From Ilomewood.
Superintendent McKelvoy, of the Bureau
of Ilealth, has written a Iottor to Dr. Linder
man, of Ilomewood, asking an explanation
ofa statement credited to him that there
was a typhoid fever epidemic in that local
ity and that he had 23 cases under his
charge. Tho latter leminds the doctor that
the records of the Health office show only
two cases reported from him within more
than six weeks, whereas the law explicitly
lequires that every phjsician must lepoit
each case of that or any other form ol con
tagious disease as soon as It comes under
his notice.

Ihe Alleghenians in the neighborhood of

hav e been witnessing some peculiar scenes
of late about the little salonn kept by
Mrs. E. Wctzler, at No. 10 Spiing Garden

Pittsburg brewers, and spring wagons from
large wholesale cigar dealcis have driven up
to the door of the saloon with strange fro

beers, many boxes of cigars and cigarettes
have disappeared within tho gieon baizo
doors, onli to reappear a moment later ac
companied by tlie demure little Mrs.
Wetzler, busilj explaining something, and
the brawny driver launching epithets
of astounding vehemonco upon tho malt
laden atmosphere. The people wondered,
the drivers swore and Mrs. Wctzlei ex
plained all of last week. Yesterday tho
secret was told a Distatcii man by tho little
ladv herselt
' I am the victim ofa freak," said she with
well developed indignation in her littlo
tones. "Ihcio l'soino voung fellow going

THE
AFRAID OF BLAINE.
Harrison's Cabinet Very Shy of the
Maine Man as a CanUdate.
THEY DON'T LIKE HIS POPDLAEITT
Secretarr Noble's Public Tiews Tot What
Be Thinks in rrirate.
MORE WESTERN GROUND TO BE OPENED
Secretary Noble spent an hour at the
Union depot last evening waiting for a
train to Washington. He had been to Mis
souri looking after President Harrison's in
terests in that State. He admitted there
was a strong Blaine feeling there, but he
added that many ot the people are for the
President As long as the Secretary is al
lowed to praise Jlr. Harrison he is very
complacent, but when reminded of the anti
Harrison movement he becomes irritable at
once and refuses to talk. He declined, also,
to speak about the Sherman boom in Ohio.
John Connelly, of the Colummis iVmi,
had a lengthy chat with Mr. Noble on the
train, "It wouldn't be fair," he said, "to
give the Secretary away, for Iliave known
him personally for some time, and he was
very frank with me. We discussed the
Presidental question freely, and to sum up
our conversation ina few words, the Cabinet
is very much afraid of Blaine. His great
popularity with the people worries them,
and it is believed he will be forced "to
accept the nomination.
Sherman Talks of Insincerity.
"I am a Democrat, and I have taken pains
to investigate the Sherman movement.
Yesterday I saw a letter written by the
Senator to a Columbus man, in which he
said positively he would not be a Presidcn
tnl candidate. He concluded by saying that
the talk in his favor was not sincere, but
was for the purpose of centering tho opposi
tion against President Hanison. He will
not bo a party to the deal under any cticutn
stances." In tholnterviow on politics Mr. Noble said:
"President narrlson will uudoubtodly be re
nominated and re-elected. I confess I don't
know anything nbout tho movement against
him, but it will not ainhtint to anything. I
never talked with the Piesident about a re
nomination. He nev er says a word about it.
It Is not true that ho is pulling stilngs as
many people charge I take It that his re
nomination is tho only logical conclusion to
draw from the situation, lie has been an
ablo and conscientious President. He has
served the people faithrully, and desorves
another indorsement.
"As foi Mi. Illalne, ho is a very brilliant
statesman. He, too, hns done his work well,
and is v ery popular with tho people. There
Is a strong clamor for his nomination, but
there is a limit to human endurance. The
feecietnry teels that his health will not per
mit Him to endure another campaign, nud I
am convinced his declination is final."
Harrison's Fenling for Morton.
"Is it true that Harrison Is opposed to
Vico PiesidenfJIoiton?" was asked.
"I don't believ e a word of it," Mi. Koble
answered hotly. "Harrison and Morton
have always been InacCoid. Agreat many
things are written these dajs that aie not
trap I said bo fore that Mr. Hairi-on is not
soliciting aid ft om anvbody. I don't know
anvthing about the politics of Pennsylvania
or Xow York. I am not follow ing the move
ments orsenator Quav or Mr. Plntt."
Turning from politics to the land nnd In
dian questions, Mr. Xohle forgot his irrita
tion, and once more was v erv agi eeahle. JIo
is strongly in favor or opening uplands in
the West to the people. He says since 1S89
about 100,000 people have sottlod in Okl -homa.
In one dav 32 cities w ere started, and
he thinks the giowth has heon marvelous.
Last year the rni mors in the new country
sent a train load ofgrain to Chicago as their
surplus stock. "If wo had lound an un
known island in the sea with a population
01 100 000 people, we would think it a great
discovcij," ho continued. "but hoie
bv opening up new territory, our
country hns grown. It eicates
a 111 irket for Pittsburg. In time other valu
able lands m Montana now held by Indians
as reservations will bo opened to the people
It speaks well for a country when 25 000 peo
ple will rush into a territory at a given sig
nal to claim land without bloodshed. Such
an obscivnnce of law nnd oider Is unpar
allclcd.
A meriran Gallantry Jf ever Forgotten.
"Why, in the last Oklahoma openldg men
stepped aside for women, ana, if one section
was taken, the land hunter moved on to an
other location ratbei than quarrel with his
follow. As for the Indians, they have been
provided lor. We have 250,000 In the United
States, but only 30 000 lecetve rations from
the Government. The balance ate self-supporting
I know It is commonly said that
the reds should earn their own living,
but we can't say to them, 'root hog or
die.' That would bo cruel. The
Indians aie savages, but they are improving
rapidly, and tho time is coming when they
will be nhlo to take caio of themselves
They are the natives of the soil and we
ought to look after them. If thev weie In
terlopers, then we might turn them loose to
rustle for themselves. You know it Mould
be easy to kill them off, but that Is not
humane.
The woik of education Is going on very
satisfactoiily among the Indians A e can't
bun them all into the schools at once, and
when only a few are educated, thev stand
aloof from their fellows, and the tribes are
not benefited It is only when education is
generallv diffused that tho masses nio Im
proved The w hltes at e about the only peo
plovvhohavo been able to develop them
selves. It remains 101 us to push this hu
manitarian work among these benighted
eopIe. All tieaties with the Indians must

FlTTSBTJRG DISPATCH
A TOO HASTY MARRIAGE.
A Bride or a Fortnight Deserts Her Bus
band and In Ills Vain Search for Her He
Writes a Dupalrinc Letter to His
t Former Fmplojer.
The pathetic tale of a hasty marriage,
repentance, desertion and probable suicide
is going the rounds of talkers in Grafton,
and the people of that village are con
siderably wrought up in consequence. A
fortnight ago Thomas lireiniar, a young
fnrm hand, and Katie Yoder were married
after a shoit courtship. The honeymoon
did not piove as harmonious as
the young couple sanguinely expected, as
the bride nursed an unexplained disappoint
ment. Tho young couple weie of different
religious creeds, Breiman being a Protes
tant and Miss Yoder a Roman Catholic. The
ceremony was performed by a m igistrato In
Grafton and this seems to he ono of the
points of dlsagieement. What the other
points weie has not yet 1 cached the ears or
tho people of Grafton, but Dame Humor has
It that her heai t longs for one vv horn she had
discarded in a moment of pique.
A week ngoSatuidnv Breiinnn left home
to get nis salaivlrom his emplovei, Joseph
Thomas, and told his wife he would return
within an hour. He icttiined at tho ap-
fioiuted time, but a strango silence was upon
lis little home. He called foi his w ife but
her voice did not respond. Thinking she
hnd gone to a neighbor's ho paid but littlo
attention to her absence until a certain
vague and undefined suspicion flashed ncross
his mind He hastily aiose from the chair In
which he had been sitting nnd began a
huriiod search of the house Soon a ghnstly
expression ciossed his foatuies. Hlswoist
loars tonus wilo had been connrmea, una
hor entile waidrobe was gono fiom the
house and thei e was neither note nor trace of
horlelt behind.
Like an lnsano man Bieiman stnggeied
from the house, and, after indulging in tho
first wild grief or his heart, he stalled on a
seiichlorhls loved one The hunt was
fruitless, and Saturday his employeis re
ceived the follow Ing brief lettei :
Yodaostowv, O.
Dear Frie.d Thomas I got into Youngs
tow n and Katie is not here. I'm a bioken
hearted man, so you needn't trouble about
me. This is the last of me. Goodby. God
bless vou. Johx WESS.
Bieiman went under the assumed named
or John Wess, which he adopted at desert
ing from an ocean goln steamship upon
til ing of the sea a veai or so ago. No trace
ot the woman can be obtained.

and how far ho Influences public opinion.
For public opinion Is not some vast and un
appioachable monster, not an immovable
fnt holding us in its iron grasp. It is made
up of the thoughts of )ust such people as wo
nie, and is tho losult or the lives th it we and
oui neighbors nie living eveij dny.
"Take mankind as a whole
nna it lesponds to good rather than to evil.
Public opinion loves truth rather than
erior. It will repay anyone, theiefoie, to
ti r to influence public opinion for good.
Moi e than this it becomes the duty of every
citizen to tiy to elevate this public opinion
wnich is so potent in our national lilc. For
public opinion must nlwavs bo something
of a compromise, and a compromise is
always somewhat shot t ot the truth nnd tho
absolute rUht iralaigo number or men
nie to bo held in concoid or opinion, it is
managed bv each one's giving up somepoi
tion or his thought, yielding a little to others
forthesakoof finding n common giound.
This Is the wny in which political platfoims,
Stite constitutions nnd church ciceds ate
made, and it follows that in eveiy such
platform and creed, in evoiv compromise
there is alwajs loom for improvement.
Upon every exisling compromise of opinion"
to morrow may (tiiow n flood of new truth.
We have to remembci always then that tho
majority of to-day may bo in erior, and tho
one strong mind in the right in his opinion,
and that ono acting wisely may'eio long
bling tho many up to his highci truth."

THEY HAVE FINISHED.
Tlie Members of the Executive Board
of the K. ofL. Leave to
MEET AT ROCHESTER, N. Y., LATER.
Jhmsen Glass Workers Iresent the Only
Local Grievance.
SECRETARY UAYES GIYES SOME TIEWS
The Executive Board of the Knights of
Labor has finished its work and early this
morning the members shook the dust oi
Pittsburg from their feet, going to
the four corners of the United States to
perform some mission for the Knights.
The next place they meet in the eapacity
they did in Pittsburg is Rochester, N. Y.
The time is not set, but it will be as soon
as enough business collects.
Secretary Hayes and John Devlin go to
Tidioute, Meadville and "Warren to look
after some little local grievances. They
will wind up in Washington to secure the
aid of the Executive Committee of thj
Farmers' Alliance in several important
matters.
Yesterday was a very busy day with the
board, and it did not finish its work until
late in the evening. A committee from the
mixers and teasers' department of Ihmsen
& Co.'s glass works, on the Southside, came
before the board.
Want None Bnt Union Men.
It wanted the agreement entered into by
the Knights and the firm enforced. It was
that nonebut union men should be employed
in the works. The company is keeping up
to the agreement with the exception that It
emplojes two non-union men. The boaid
would not tell what decision it hadairived
at. It disposed of it in some wny. This was
tho only Plttsbui matter considered. A
number ot committees fiom other trades
called duiing the day, but their missions
weie social.
Slnco the board has been in session in
Pittsburg thero has been considerable talk
as to why it chose this city as the place of
meeting. Thcio was a deslro on tho part of
some people to say Pittsburg was chosen
because it was tho hotbed of the Federation
or Laboi, and that the Knights or Labor was
coming hote to hunt them in astionghold.
Socretary Hayes, in speaking of tlie story,
said. "It is a foolish tale. Since we have been
in Pittsburg none or us have either publicly
01 pilvately said anything to I11J1110 the
Federation. The Board was to come to
Pittsbuig a yeango, hut tho stiike on tho
Xow Yoik Central eamo on nt that time and
our services wero needed theie. As to tnis
being such a stionghold of the Federation,
I might sav Pittsburg, or District J, has un
organization that Is constantly glowing bi,
aim powenui. ane ivnignts aio making
rapid sti Ides In this distiict nnd beforo a
great w lule theie may be some unlooked for
dev elopmeuts In Pittsburg Iabot circles.
Work Done by the K. or JL.
"There Is a great deal of tnlk against the
Knights, but their carmaiks nioonovory
public good that has boon done for a long
while. We havo dono inoro to educate the
people of this land than any organization
on the face of the globe. It was the Knights
oTLabot that first found the Chlnoso Immi
gration law was to explie, and we had
much to do with having tho new
one passed. It was not long until
some other organization started in
on onr snmo plans nnd claimed
they hnd been fiistto bring tho issue up.
The Knights aie now doing all they can to
educate tho oung of America. It can be
seen in nniiv ways tor instance, tho
davs of strikes with tho Knights ot Labor
aie veiv neatly a thing of the past. Tills
was brought nbout by no other mannerthan
education. All wo want now is to have tho
flood gates of lmmigiation closed, and ten
jeais hence tho woikingman will ho the
power in tho United "States As it is now
we not only havo toinstiuct the children or
America, but all those Luiopcan countiics
flood in upon us.
"Speaking of strikes," ho continued, "I
have said they are a thing ot the past, and
with them the boycott has gone ton cot tain
extent. The day is here when that means
of bringing the opposition to settlement is
used only as an extreme measure. Bov cotts
too often mill business IT they run any
length or time, the company on whi3h tho
ban is placed goes under, diagging with it
ninny laboring people foi n time. It is not
the desire or the organization to hurt a firm
so long , theie is a chanco for settlement.
Tho way we get nt it now Is moic dlplo
matic. IT a company opposes 11s, wequietly
gather the namos ol all peoplchandling that
mnnufactmers goods. We then wiite them
asking thej witudravv their pationage until
the tiouble is settled. Ihey see It will bo
the better foi them, and they always doit.
In this to) the trade of the manufacturer
is not destioyed If he comes promptly and
sottles, and there are but fow enses where
he does not. But if it publio boycott is
called tho company is nover abletoiegain
its tiade after the ban is called off."
KOI EH0TJOH WATER TO DEOWN.
Paul Guro Palled Out or tlie Itiver by His
Coat Collar.
Taul Guio, a German, probably 22 years
old, threw himself into the river at the foot
of Benton avenue, Allegheny, about 8 o'clock
last night. The liver at that place was but
two feet deep, and Guio, if his action w ts or
suicidal Intent, was very unsuccessful.
Councilman Ilannon was near at the timo

HE HAS SURELY FLED.
Pror. J, F. Arbnckle, Charged With nn
Heinous Offense, Has Undoubtedly Dis
appeared and Hli Relative! Know Noth
ing or Bis Whereabouts.
There is no doubt in the minds of the in
terested ones that the festive Prof. J. R.
Arbuckle, principal of the Xmth ward
school, has taken a dark and mysterious
flight in order to evade the censure, the
embarrassment and the punishment that in
variably attend such nefarious preceptions
as the erratic professor Is charged with bay
ing instilled into the minds of his guileless
pupils.
The professor disappeared, as was told In
yestei day's Dispatch, and certain Imagin
ative onos dcolaiod tho professor had en
sconsced his distinguished personage in tho
wilds or tho backwoods nomo five odd miles
from tho village of Sharpsbnrjr, but the
aforesaid Imaginative ones erred They
erred grievously and ompliatlcally. The
piofessor has not appeared In the quiet
wild woods. In Tact he has not nppcarcd
anywhere to the best of tho knowledge or
his most intimate roiatlves and friends. If
the professor has appealed. It has been
among a people of strange nnd unknown
visage. In consequence of this there Is
walling apd gnashing of teeth in the Ar
niickle homestead, some five intles out tho
Kittaning load from Sliarpsburg, and there
aro various and sundry rumors, theories,
et cetera floating about the agricultural
ntmnspheie regarding tho probable where
abouts of the ort-mentioned professor.
The chances aro that he has taken the ad
vice or Horace Greeley and has gone West
to grow up with the countrv, ns it were, be
cause the professor loved tho West, and be
ing n frugal and saving man, he has accum
ulated wealth that will bo useful in this
emergency.
Ml". Charles W. Honggy, tho wife of one of
Sharpsburg's foremost contractors and
brothel in law of Pror. Arbuckle, said last
night that the urofessor always made It a
point to be of frugal disposition. He is
considered wealthy," said hei husband as
ho trod over the porch In his slippered leet,
"and doubtlessly has qnlto n snug lit
tle sum stored nwnv. This thing
was a great surnrise to all or us," he con
tlnued, "and Mr. and Sirs. Arbucklo are
greatly worried over the disgrace that has
been brought on the family name. 'n one
has seen the pi ofessor hereabouts, and tho
supposition is that he hns left for other
parts. Mr. Arbuckle, Sr., went to Woods'
Run to-night to see about it, nnd Mrs.
Arbuckle is greatly exeicisod over the entiio
aflnir."
Tho president of the Board of the Ninth
ward school said last night that Professor
Arbuckle would be prosecuted if found, and
If the charges prove correct.
A FLOATING SPEAK-EASY.
Visitors, to Highland Park Find a New At
traction Anchored In the River A Spe
cial lirand or Cigars for an Illicit Bar
room. Notwithstanding the rainy weather yes
terday there were numerous visitors to
Highland Park, and those who were not
posted wondered why so many men took the
road down the Hill toward the Allegheny
river. Residents out along Butler street
extension also wondered wheio
so many drunken men came from
who passed down that way, evidently un
able to climb the hill to return by the routo
bv w hich they came Captain Dick Biophy,
of tho Lawrencevlllo district, heard oflhe
condition of affairs, and on investigation
found the magnet of attraction.
Anchored along the river shore near Bril

shanty boat, which had .1 well
beaten path leading to it, although
It had onlv been there a day or two. A littlo
further investigation was made and tho
Captain withdicw. But ho returned at 11
o'clock last night, and raided the boat. The

and stocked with liquors nnd beei as well
as any saloon in the citv. Thine bartenders
have been emplojed, taking tuins handing
out liquors, nnd it Is alleged bv the officers
who made the raid that the house was never
closed, bnt was open to serve drinks at all
houis of the day and niht.
After tho pi isoneis had been placed in the
wagon tho officers icturned to the house
nnd took stock. They found 8 full bariels,
11 half barrels and 7 quarters of beer, 2 bar

PAPEES ACODT HEADY FOR COURT
A Decision (0 Ee Af.lci for Some
urinrj This Week.
Tims
POLITICS 1IIXLD UP IX THE MATTER
A still hunt is being mads for Burgess
Martin's seat In the Etna Council'. He
lore this week is out papers will be pre
sented to the courts asking for his removal.
So quiet are the actions by his opposers
that even the people of his own town, with
very lew exceptions, know nothing abontit.
Sometime ago Judge Stowe handed down
a decisioa in the case of the chief magis
trate of Duquesne borough. The Judge
held that 1 borough Burgess was not en
titled to a seat in Councils where six Coun
cilmen had teen elected. Since that time
numerous little municipalities have been
considering thi advisability ot getting rid
of this superfluous office-holder. Kone of
them, however, kave taken any steps in the
matter but Etna.
About ten days ago the Etna Council met
and then an effort was made to onst Bur
gess Martin. But, as one of his friends
said yesterday, "The Councilmen who had
the matter in charge lost their heads at a
critical moment and we came out in the
lead."
Won't Walt on lb Supreme Court.
The Borough Solicitor at that meeting
advised the Burgess to hold office until the
Supreme Court gave a decision in the
matter. Ihls was suppo-ed to havo ended
the case. Tuere are some people In Etna
who think waiting for a Supreme Court
decision is a slow proceeding. In this case
thev could not get an answer before next
Januiry, nnd that Is a good while, espe
cially w ben there is some politics mixed up
in tho matter. One or two or these Etna
people are Councilmen and the others citi
zens, lor a week or more tney have been
quietly working on the removil of Burgess
Martin. One attorney has been procured
and negotiations nre being made for the
services of another. Already some or the
papers have been prepared and the balanee
are well under way. According to lniorma
tion received yesterday these doenments
will be presented to the court some
time this week, possibly by Wednesday.
There is some talk ns to what Judge this
case will bo brought berore. A gcntlemin
who can speak authoritatively vestorday
said Judge Stowe was desired, as he thought
the question would be quickly disposed of if
that Jurist had the making or the decision.
Othei Iriendsof the movement say it will be
immaterial what Judge hears the case.
Judge Stowe has already made a decision,
and they thought it was altogether probable
any other Allegheny county Judge would
be of the same mind.
The Barges Is In No Barry.
Another question arises which the ousters
of Burgess Martin are not altogether fa
miliar with. Even if the Allegheny Courts
shall decree that Mr. Martin must vacate
his office, the question confronts them, will
he do it before the Supreme Court has had a
chance to give Its opinion? They say.
though, they will be ready to cope with
this difficulty vvhei it comes. It will surely
come, for Burgess Martin has publicly de
claicd he will not give up his office until the
State tribunal so decides.
If ptoriesbfi true tho decision of Judge
Stowe made a much longed for loop-hole
through which the opposers of the Clialfant
section of Etna Republic ins could fire their
guns. There exists in Etna two political
factions, Charles Clialfant. of Spang, Chal
fant & Co , is the acknowledged leader of
one, while the other Is made up of a largo
nnmberof citizens of Etna who are un
iriendly to him. It generally turns out in
the borough elections that the former side
scores the victory. Bnrgess Martin is said
to he with the Clialfant people as aro sev
eral or tho Councilmen. The story goes that
it Is not so much to get rid ot Mr. -Martin ns
it Is to curtail the power of the Clialfant
people.
