In Select branch the most important action taken "as on the improvement ordi nances. There was provision for one new main sewer on AVilkins avenue to drain the "Woods' Hun district and for repairingXorth avenue at a cost of ?62,906; Federal street above Xorth Diamond street, 516,450; Pensvlvania avenue, $17,640; Beaver ave nue, '530,460; Allegheny avenue, 518,500 and Main street, 535,000. The sewer would cost about 5160,000, making a total of almost 5300,000. This money was to come out of next year's appropriation. The first attack was made on the sewer ordinance and it was postponed. The Xorth avenue ordinance came next and Mr. Hen ricks objected. He was in favor of the im provements, but wanted all parts of the city to get an equal chance. Mr. "Wertheimer plead for North avenue, and everyone ad mitted that it should be repaved. Mr. Arthur Kennedy dazed hh lellow members by showing that these ordinances would in crease the tax rate next year by 5 mills. He didn't think the people would stand this more than one year; then they would vant bonds. Trying to Stop ilin Exodn. "The improvements must be made," he said; "you saw the exodus to the East End this spring that has left rows of houses with 'to let' on them. Next spring it will be a stampede. This is not a question of small improvements it is the improvement of streets and sewers, and of making parks for the suburban districts. I am glad that these ordinances place the matter in a light the people can understand what tne town needs." Mr. "Wartheimer longht for North ave nue. Property is assessed at 5300 to 5400 a foot and has 'depreciated 25 per cent Mr. Kennedy said he knew of a sale at 5600.

BIG I10ADS DON'T PAY EVEN A CENT The Entire Keverfue From Traction Lines Now Is Only $200. AN01HFR BEANCII TO TT1LKINSBURS The question as to whether the city can impose a tax on a street railway corpora tion after it has been given a right of way through the city, hinted at by Councilman O'Donnell in the disenssion over the street railway ordinances in Council last Monday, seems to have a good foundation. A num ber of attorneys interviewed on the subject agree that unless a provision is made in the ordinance granting the right of way for n tax or stipulated compensation, accented by the proper officers of the company over their siguatures, the city cannot thereafter pass any ordinance for a license or a tar that will hold good in law. Chief Brown holds differently, and his cpinion-is shared by Mayor Gourley, while Controller Morrow, who drew np the street car tax ordinance presented by Mr. O'Don nell last Monday, declares that a vehicle license can be collected from a street rail way on each car, the same as from the private individual owning a carriage. The Mayor's ideas on the subject are general, his belief being that if the city can give a franchise she can afterward exact something in return, but Chief Brown, who is himself a lawyer, is positive that no trouble in passing an ordi nance, as a police regulation, requiring the street railway companies to pay at least 550 a car per year can be met with, and he in tends to present such an ordinance at the next meeting of Councils. Attorneys Say a Trz Is Impossible. Other attorneys maintain that the State laws protect a corporation so far that if they once get a city ordinance carrying their charter into effect it becomes a contract as soon as signed by the officials of the city and the corporation, and no additional im post tax or compensation of any kind can be imposed by the city without consent of the corporation officials. The argument generally used by attorneys is, that if a company in poor circumstances should get a right of way and go into business under an ordinance in which the company is required to pay 550 a year, circumstances might arise by which the City Councils might desire to shut the original company out To do this it would only be necessary to impose an additional tax which the company could not pay, a proceeding which no court of equity would tolerate. The great princi ple underlying the whole question, they say, is that a perpetual contract signed and sealed by both parties cannot be changed without the consent of both, whether they be private individuals or corporations, and the ordinance of Councils in this case is a contract. The only way the city can compel a street railway company to pay anything, it seems, unless a contract therefor is made in the ordinance, is by a police regulation which can be so arranged that anv prosperous com pany would rather accept than fight it, even if sure the Court would sustain them in the fight Chief Brown's ordinance presented in Councils last year, but never returned to Councils, was drawn ou that line. He knew that the payment of a fee of 550 per car,' ns provided by his bill, would be largely optional with the companies, and he knew also that he ras in a position to compel them to provide policemen at every dangerous street and crossing in the city, for the safety of life and property of the public. Brown Still Ilo'dg the Tflnnlnc; Card. Consequently he drew his ordinance so that in return for the fee the city would furnish the crossing protection. Even this, it is claimed, could be set aside by the rail way people, but it would place them in an tagonistic position to the Public Safety Department which could retaliate by mak ing it considerably more expensive for them in the end. Chief Brown savs the ordimnce presented by Mr. O'Donnell can be made to answer all purposes by iome additions and changes on the line indicated, but he prefers to frame a new ordinance as requested by the resolution of Councils, and it will be simi lar in most respects to the one presented lat year. He anticipates no opposition either in its passage or carrying it into effect by the railway companies. There is another interesting feature of the street car tax question and that is in the fight Controller Morrow proposes to make to collect back pay irom a number of them. All the street railways in the city except the "Wylie avenue, Fifth avenue and the Duquesne had in the original ordinances granting them rights of way as horse car lines contracts under which they were to pay the city so much per year. The Citi zens' line paid so much per car and eo much on the net profits each year, the income to the city thereby being 52,180 in 1888, the last vear they paid. The old Birmingham line had a similar agreement and their last payment was 52,090 iu 1888. Mren Cars Now Only Pay S30O a Year. The "West End Company had an agree ment to pay 5200 a year which has been religiously kept, their 5200 being the only receipts of the city last year irom street car companies. The aid Oakland and East Liberty line, now Pittsburg Traction, was exempt from any tax by an act of Assembly, and the old Wylie avenne line, now Cen tral Traction, was exempt by an ordinance because the roadras paying' little or noth ing. The Transverse line had an agreement to pay 525 per car which was not to go into effect until this year. The now Pleasant Val ley line was taxed at first 535 per car. but later the fee was reduced to a sum propor tionate with the fee they paid in Allegheny and in proportion to the amount of track in this citv as compared with Allegheny. This reduced their fee considerably, but even this they relused to pay until, a few years ago, the Controller brought suit and the Supreme Court gave a judgment in favor ot the citv ior 53,200. Their lees for one year were 5505. The Manchester line paid 5200 in 1887 and 5345 in 1886 on their agreement A few years ago the city passed a general ordinance regulating traction companies, but prescribing no lees, tax or licenses, and providing that all such companies must ac cept its provisions in writing over the offi cial signatures of the various corporations. The Manchester, Birmingham.Citizens' aud Pleasant "Valley companies complied, and they now claim that by so doing they were absolved from their original contracts to pay and have ever since refused to pay anything. 'Controller Morrow thinks, and he is supported by attorneys questioned n regard tothe point) that the position of the companies is erroneous and he intends to carry them into court to test it. As most ot the companies interested have greatly increased their rolling stick as well as their net profits, the amount to be recovered if the city gets judgment, alter three or four years' lapse, will be large. STREET CARS TO THE RACES. The Citizens' Line Wants to Extend to WHklnntrarc "With a View to Also Com. petinc With the A. Y. K. 15. It Will Pass Homewood Driving Park. The Citizens' Traction Company Is the next to reach out for more franchises. Yesterday they secured a charter ior a branch line to "Wilkinsburg by way of Frankstown avenue and ordinances are now being prepared for presentation to the Coun cils of Brushton, Wilkinsburg and this city to carry the charter into effect The greater part of tne line will be new only in name, the Penn Street Railway Company taking the place of the Frankstown Street Railway Company, over the route now traversed by the latter out to Silver Lake Grove. A dislike for the old title and a desire to catch a share of the Wilkinsburg and Brushton traffic decided the Citi zens' Company to discard their old charter altogether and get one under the new name. It is intended to extend the line to Wilk insburg by way of the old Frankstown road, which is a continuation of the avenue, reaching the borough at Wood street, and following Wood to Amanda street, where a connection with the new line ot the Du quesne Company w ill be made. By consent of Councils and the Duquesue Company, the Penn line will use the Duquesne's new loop through the borough and return by the same route as they enter. The route runs close by the Homewood race track, through Brushton borough, and will leave the company in position to con tinue their line bv way of the Sandy Creek road to Hulton, Verona and the Other thriv ing towns up the A. V. B. B., as soon as the development of that section justifies. The line is to be made electric. There will only be about two miles of track to laybevond their present line, and if suc cessful in getting the franchises the officials expect to have the new system in operation by November L LOOKS LIKE A HANGING. Attorney Brennon Thinks the Fitzpatrick Case Is Now Hopeless. W. J. Brennen, attorney for Fitzpatrick, the condemned murderer, returned yes terday from Philadelphia, where he had gone to appear before the Supreme Court in behalf of his client Mr. Brennen asked the Supreme Court for authority to carry up to that court his case on a writ of error. Mr. Brennen has little confidence that his request will be granted, and he is therefore of the opinion that Fitzpatrick will be hanged next Thursday, the day fixed for the execution. "Fitzpatrick is an amusing fellow," Mr. Brennen said. "Before leaving for Phila delphia I called upon him with the petition I presented to the Supreme Court I read to him the petition and asked him to swear to it He listened attentively to the read ing of the legal document, and then I told him to hold uu his hand and be sworn. 'I'll do nothing of the kind,' the condemned man said. I was surprised, and asked him what he meant. He said: 'I have heard what you read, but I don't understand those big wbrds.and I won't swear to a lie if they hang me before night' I then explained to him what the legal phrases meant, and then he gladly made affidavit to the truth. "Ot course, I have no information as to what the Supreme Court will do with my petition, but I hardly think they will grant what is asked ior, and I am afraid it is all up with the unfortunate fellow. He has no money and no friends, and the law certainly threatens to make short work in his case." BINGO IS ABEESTED. Tho Assailant of Charles Bach Captured In Allegheny Lsit 'lclir.

Joseph Klimehaple Overcome With Artificial Heat and HE DIES BEFORE AID ARRIVES. The Local Health Authorities and the Fac tory Inspectors ASKED TO INVESTIGATE THE CASE Joseph Klimehaple, aged 13 years and six months, dropped dead while at work in Marvin's bakery at C o'clock Wednesday evening. The boy lived with his parents in the Eighth ward, Allegheny. The body was removed to the boy's home and Coroner Mc Dojvell was notified of the sudden death. An autopsy was ordered aud was per formed by Dr. R, G. Herron and Dr. Stybr. The physicians' report showed that the boy died from apoplexy superinduced by the heat This report surprised the Coroner and he decided to instigate a thorough investigation. He at once notified Health Officer Baker and Dr. Guy McCandless, of the Health Bureau. He also telegraphed Factory Inspector Watchorn of the peculiar case. The Coroner impaneled a jury and several witnesses were called. Dr. Herron explained his report and said that the heat in the factory had affected the dead boy just as a sunstroke would affect him. The physician also said that a clot was dis covered on the brain, that a hemorrhage had resulted, aud that apoplexy was decidedly rare in boys. A Very Remarkable Case. Dr. Herron pronounced the case a remark able one, and insisted that death was due to heat He said he had been called hurried ly to attend some one who was sick at the bakery, but when he arrived there the pa tient had been dead lor about two minutes. In his autopsy he iound all the organs, save the brain, in a healthy condition. There was an evidence of iatty degeneration of the heart, but it was not sufficiently de veloped to cause death. Mr. Marvin, the proprietor of the bakery, said the place was 'well ventilated and was at no time hot enough to distress the em ployes. He had no direct information on the health of the boy, but was disposed to believe that he had died from some other cause than the heat Dr. Stvbr corroboratedithe evidence given by Dr. Herron. He was satisfied the boy had suffered from the heat He had at tended the boy several times ior sore throat but his examination of the brain alter the autopsy convinced him that the lad had been stricken with apoplexy, which he said had been superinduced by the heat. Coroner McDowell at this point ad journed the inquest until this atternoon. He explained to the jury that the factory laws of the State required thorough ventila tion, and he asked that the jury inquire thor oughly into this particular case. Sent for the Factory Inspector. He then telegraphed Factory Inspector Watchorn that a death under peculiar cir cumstances had occurred at Marvin's bak ery in this city and asked that official to at tend the inquest and investigation, to be continued to-day. Up until a late hour last night Mr. Watchorn bad not answered the telegram and had not indicated whether or not he would attend the Coroner's inquest of the case. Last night Coroner McDowell, Superin tendent Baker, of the Health Bureau, and Dr. Guy McCandless, one of the city physi cians, visited Marvin's bakery. They called at the place about 6 o'clock,' the same time the boy died at the place the night previou". They made a complete tour ot tne institution and tne result ot their visit will be supplied to the Coroner's jury to day. Dr. McCandless was seen by a Dispatch reporter alter visiting the Marvin bakery. He said: "We went all through the place, and as far as I am concerned, I saw little in the place to be condemned. We iound there all necessary facilities for ventilating the place, and it these facilities were used, then there is no responsibility attaching to tne proprietors ot the oakery. we iound the heat registering about 83. Hard to Figure on a Boy. 'Would that amount of heat produce apoplexy?" was asked the doctor. "Hardly," he answered, thoughtfully. "It is difficult to tell, however, Just how much heat or cold a boy can stand. It de pends largely upon the boy's condition. Some boys nnd men are so constituted that they can stand more heat than others. As a general thing we find few boys at work where the heat is intense. Suchwork, as a rule, is performed by men, who can stand mote heat than a boy. "I have not inquired carefully into this case. On its face, however, it appears a most remarkable one, as boys of such tender years are seldom afflicted with apoplexy unless they are exposed to intense rays of the sun. We occasionally hear of boys suffering from sunstroke, but we rarely, if ever, hear of their suffering from apo plexy." HISTORICAL SOCIETY'S MEET.

Republicans Spilt Up Over the Appoint ment of Two Secretaries of the State Committee Quay and Magee Both Win Ont. The Pittsburg managers of Congressman Dalzell's Senatorial campaign met yester day afternoon at their headquarters on Smlthfield street. The meeting was one of the largest ever held by the association. J. H. Patterson, Secretary of the Philadelphia branch of the organization, was present, and in an informal talk told of the work accom plished in the eastern end of the State and expressed great confidence in the Dalzell fight He admits that on the fnrface Sena tor Quay seems to have the best of the con test but he explains by saying "it would not be wise to use n brass band in fighting an old politician like Quay." Mr. Patterson says the Philadelphia poli ticians are wonderfully worked up over the appointment of two Secretaries for the Re publican State Committee. Judge Dean, the candidate for Supreme Judge, he says, told him that at the meeting of the State candidates in Harrisburg this week George Pearson, of Mercer, Pa., ex-Private Secre tary to Governor Beaver, had been agreed upon as Secretary to the State Committee. "Judge Dean assured me that Pearson had been agreed upon by all the State candi dates," Mr. Patterson said, "and, of course, he was confused and surprised the next morning to learn that General Beeder, who had been agreed upon as Chairman, had asked Frank Willing Leach to remain as secretary of the committee. Judge Dean was naturally indignant at Chairman Beeder's action. The Judge contended that Chairman Eeeder was well aware that the candidates had agreed upon Pearson as secretary to displace Leach and he was naturally indignant at Leach's reappoint ment As affairs stand now the com mittee has two secretaries one chosen by the candidates and the other named by the State Chairman. Already the matter has stirred up considerable ugly feeling, and it begins to look now as though there might be another outbreak between Senator Quay and C L. Magee on this particular question. It is well known that Magee, in the recent State Convention, had some hot words with Secretary Leach over the tally sheet count After the convention Mr. Magee served notice that Mr. Leach would have to go. Mr. Quay was jost as emDhatic in saying that Leach should not be turned down. One faction seems to have turned Mr. Leach down while the other faction has turned him up again, and before the matter is set tled there is likelv to be considerable strife among the Republicans of the State." The Pittsburg Republicans contend that the State candidates have the authority to name the Secretary of the State Committee. BEADT TO STRIKE. The Braddock and Turtle Creek Boad May Be Tied Up To-Day.

He was standing on a scaffold about 45 feet from the ground when a board gave way beneath him and he fell. When but a short distance from the ground his left arm caught on an iron hook and was torn off' from the elbow.
