THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH SATURDAY, MAT 21. 1892. JACK mjWWu Major Montootli Resurrects the Yictiin of the Lib crtv Street Fire. SPLITTY IX FLESH AGAIN. Be Is to He Produced at the Court Trial of Saitta and JIazza. HISTORY OP THIS FAMOUS CASE. 2fot Dead but Only Terj Sick in an Allej Out Fenn Avenue. SAME OF THE REAL CORPSE XOT KNOWS "Old Jack" or "Splitty," the Italian who 5s supposed to have perished in the wreck of Saitta & Fugassi's Liberty street store Jast December, has, pbocnix-like, risen from the ashes and will appear in Criminal Court Monday, when T. A. Saitta and John yizaa. are to be tried lor causing the death of the old man. 3Iajor E. A. 3Iontooth, attorney for the deiendants, is the authority for this start ling piece of information. "It will no doubt be a surprise to the people in gen eral," said the Major yesterday, smiling with eident delight at the coming revela tion, "when 'Old Jack walks into court wcarintj the same old rope girdle around his waist, and appearing the same 'Old Jack" from the top of his head to the soles of his feet. The Coroner's jury held many sittings on 'Old .Tack,' it tupposed. It I remember rightly, it sat on him something like a halt dozen times. Finally those men decided that the dis pnred and charred remains were those of 'Splitty,' and with this decision planted liiin in the cold earth. All winter he was supposed to have lain there, and now like the flowers in the spring, he comes to us again. Think They Sat on the flronj alnn. "The Coroner's jury did sit on the case of some uulortunate who was iound in the wreck of the burned fruit store, but who it was will probably never be known. I know it was not 'Old .Tick,' however, for I have seen him from time to time all winter and snring. He has always been in Pittsburg and a number of people were aware of it Much ot the time has been spent in the sick bed in an alley out l'cnn avenue. He was in the sick bed when the Coroner's jury was pass ing its decision on the charred remains of the mar, who must now go unknown. 'Jack' would.have been at these inquests had he been able to be there or known they were going on, and thus put an end to the sen sational stories that have risen lrom the burning of that building. "It is true a witness at the Coroner's in quest identified the remains as 'Old Jack." The testimony was very conflicting, how ever. The witness claimed to have known 'Old Jack" and also to have known 'Splitty.' The informant claims to have seen the old iellow at work ior Saitta & Fugassi, even tohaereen on speaking terms with him. It is on this testimony the most stress is laid. The witness testified to having visited &bed of .the man out Penn avenue, but said it was not 'Old Jack,' but 'Split ty," who was seen there. jilltiy and Old .Tack Are the Same. "It was then decided it was 'Old Jack who was burned. As 'Old Jack' and Splitty' are the .ame this seems to me like very conflicting testimony." The cave attracted a great deal of interest. About 11550 on the night of December 19, the fruit store ol Taitta & Fugassi, on Liberty street, was discovered on fire. It was tlionsht the fire was caused br a natural pas explosion. Just alter the flames broke oat some one who was unknown to the police notified them that a man had been s.'cn coming out of the building and run ning down an alley The police depart ment was said to have gone to work on the cae at once. Nothing was heard of the matter until I'cbruary 1. It was then that the men clearing away the debris found the remains ot a man m the cellar. It at once became a subject; of general speculation. The Coroner" held ix hearings in the case, end ing on the 13ih of February. It was then decided the remains were" those of "Old Jack," an employe ot the firm. Half a dozen witnesses testified to having seen a man leave the building the night of the fitc, some of them testifying it was P. A. Saitta. a member of the firm, and others raid it was John Mazza, an employe of Saitta's. Tirst Findins of the Coroner. Tt has also brought out that the firm had flfi,000 insurance on its stock, and soon niter the fire had compromised with the in tarance company lor -'lO.OOO. The finding of the Coroner's jury was is follows: J"irr That said liuilding had been rilled wn natural gnnnd then set on flic by said -Old Jack" or "Splitty." Second That 1". A. Saitta. of the firm of Saitta A Fugassi, was then and there aiding mid abetting at the time of commission of said unlawful act and crime, and in our opinion consniied with said "Old Jack" to commit sniil act. Third That one John 3I-.zza, an Italian also in the emptor of said Siitra A FuRai, was then and there, on said December 19, 1S91. aiding and abetting in the commission of said ciime. "Warrants were at once issued for Saitta and Mazza. Tlioy were arrested and placed under ?;,O10 bail'each. Thev were charged with maifelaughter, arson and with setting lire to the building to defraud the insurance company. From that time until now nothing has been heard of the cases, everybody sup jiesing "Old Jack" had been properly identified and tlie men .would be tried and convicted Major Montootli cannot see why his men should not be acquitted of the charge oi manslaughter. He also thinks if they are released on that charge there will not be much trouble in clearing them on the other indictments. WON'T FIX NON-UHIOK SHOES. Tbo Idaster IIors?shoer" Asioclalion Adopt a New Device. The Master Horseshoers Association has decided on a new move against non-union shops. They have resolved that hereafter they will not put on or fasten old shoes unless the shoes have stdmped on them the same of the sbocr. The rule has been for the shoers to put their names on their shoes. Since the asso ciation has made the move of refusing to re place or lasten old shoes that were made in non-union shops a number of the latter have not put their names on their shoes so union shops could not recosnize them. To circumvent this the association. has decided not to put on auy shoe thauas not the ..... w w numci uu IU 5hs Children Wre Hnncry.

Mayor Kennedy Wants to Know Exactly Why tho I'ollce MasUtrate Ordinance TTasXot Presented It Is Said to Have Item on the l'llrs. A number of questions are being asked in Allegheny as to why the Police Magistrate ordinance did not come up for action Thurs day night. The explanation made at the time was that Controller Brown did not want to take the risk of drawing up the ordinance himself and wanted to have Citv Attorney Elphinstone do it, but Mr. Elphinstone was out of town. Mr. Elphinstone was not out of town, however, and had stayed Thursday evening at his office. Members of Councils knew he was there. In lact, Clerk "White, of Select Branch, is reported to have said earlier in the day that the ordinance was printed and on the Select Council files when Coun cils opened. However, it was not there. Just what became of it is still a question on the Korthside, and when Mayor Kennedy was seen last night he said it struck him as being very queer that the matter had not come up, "and said the explanation did not satisfy him. Said he: "The Finance Com mittee acted on the measure and it should hat e been presented to Councils for action. I have been confined to the house all day, and so have not had a chance to find out how it happened, but I intend to find out. I will go to the bottom of this matter before I get through." Another explanation offered yeiterday was that the measure was not properly be fore Councils as it had originated in com mittee. This is a mistake, however, as it was presented in the old Councils, but was not acted on when the old organization ended. In order to again bring it before Finance Committee, C. V. Lewis presented it at the opening session ot the new body. It has now been affirmatively acted upon by Finance Committee and ought to have been presented to Councils Thursday. MUBDEBEB SEED AT LA.EGE. Tollco All Over the Country After tho Ite ward for His Cnptnrn. At a late hour last night Martin Keed, the condemned murderer, who, with two other prisoners, escaped from the "Washing ton county jail 'on Thursday evening, had not been captured. Fred Cotthem, one of the lugitives, who was arrested in this city at 3:30 yesterday morning, as exclusively stated in The Dispatch, was taken back to "Washington last evening. While here he was under charge of Detectives Fitzger ald and Bobinson, who had him photo graped. He admitted to them that he had sawed the bars of Beed's cell with his own pocket knife, but declared that he knew nothing about Beed's whereabouts alter leaving the jail, as each man had started oil on his own account. Cotthem started for the railroad and took a freight train to this city, having just alighted when captured. A posse from Washington is searching for Beed between that point and Burgetts town, but the Washington officials believe he has gone to "West Virginia. The police all over the country aro on the lookout for him, those ot this city among the rest. A report wrfs received last night that Becd had been see'( entering the house of a "Washing ton couifcy woman out Fifth avenue but it proved Cjfounded on investigation. A re ward ofJfX) is offered for Beed's capture. t 'rjrATH AHD STABVATIOH. A ne!;Ian Glassbtower Arrested for Ree lecting His ramlly. Alphonse Culpaced, a Belgian glass blower, employed at Jcannette and making ?0 per week, was arrested yesterday by Special Officer Kelly, of the Southside, charged with neglecting his family by the Anti-Cruelty Society. He came to this country 18 months ago, and his wile, her mother and two children followed about a year later. The family located Culpaced and he secured a home for them at 2120 "Wright's a'ley, Southside, but has given them no attention since and only such small sums of money at long intervals" as could be squeezed from him. As a result the family were nearly started and almost naked be fore the authorities learned of it "When Agent McDonald visited the house Thursday he found the corpse of Mrs. Cul paccd's mother, who had died last Satur day, and the body was in a frightful state of "decomposition; the two children were in bed in an adjoining room because they had no clothing; there was nothing to eat in the house, no money for bread, and the woman had no way of providing for her mother's interment. Culnaced was informed of the condition of affairs at home repeatedly, but had paid no attention to it. "When ar rested he gave bail for a hearing. THE WASHINGTON INFANTET. Ex-Captain J. A. A. Brown Inspects the Company Belbro 300 People. Members of the "Washington Infantry were arrayed in beautiful uniforms when they presented themselves to their friends last evening at a drill and entertainment in their armory, above the Market House. About 300 persons were present and atten tively watched the company during the in spection. Ex-Captain J. A A Brown, who in spected the company, made a neat address to the members, tor which he was loudly applauded. Captain A B. Shannon cau tioned the men as to the care of their new uniforms, which, he said, were the hand somest in the State. The Captain then turned to the audience and bluntlv told the ladies that the company was badly in need of a flag, their present colors having been in use 13 years, and were completely worn out. The "Washington Infantry now numbers CS men, with three officers, Captain A. B. Shannon, First Lieutenant If. Keibaum and Second Lieutenant William Guilfuss. The company was originally organized in 1855, and has retained its name all through the war and up to the present day. aUUS IHE STATES FOE ETB0PE. J. G.

Office, 720 Fenn street, Pittsburg, l'a. bsu A GHOST OF LOST GOLD Walks Throuuh the Vaulted Corri dors of the Court House DEMANDING A FDLL SETTLEMENT Of the Affairs of the Defunct Allegheny Irust Company. OYER TWO HUNDRED FERS0NS SUED The ghost of the defunct Allegheny Trust Company has again dropped its lank, disa greeable form into the Allegheny county courts, and the many stockholders in tho broken financial concern must answer to a bill in equity requiring them to make good certain money which it is alleged has been owing since the company was swamped in the financial meshes about 20 years ago. The last bill in equity affecting the trust company was filed this week by Messrs. J. E. O'Donncll and H. F. McGrady, attor nevs tor Charles Maginn, the plaintiff. In the bill it is alleged that the Allegheny Trust Company was organized on January 1, 1861 with a capital stock of $60,000, di vided into 300 shares of ?200 each. In November 23, 18T1, the capital was in creased to 5250,000. On January 7, 1875, the concern suspended business, being in solvent, and Arthur Hobson, "William Sem ple and Joseph McNaugher were appointed liquidative trustees ot the board. The co partnership continued annually to elect its Board of Directors up to 1882, since which time the last board elected has held over and has never been dissolved. Th Trustees rasslng to tho Beyond. Arthur Hobson, one of the trustees, has since died and B- "W. Cartwright was ap pointed to succeed him. "William Semple has also since died, but no successor was appointed. The liability of the company was never actually determined until about April, 189L At that time the liability of the shareholders amounted to 5170 per share. Joseph McNaugher, trustee, it is Molmxil Via in hi Kinds moneys beloncinc to the co-partnership, together with the books and papers of the same. In con clusion the Court is asked to appoint a re ceiver for the purpose of collecting the amounts ascertained to be due from each of the said defendants, according to their said liability. The Allegheny Trust Company has been in court several" times since its failure in 1875. Many ot the original stockholders of the concern'have since died. It is alleged, however, that the estates, if they left any, are liable, as the concern was not a corpora tion, but was a co-partnership. On account of the large number ot people concerned in the contemplated suit the filing of the bill has excited considerable concern and it is believed that an almost endless number of suits will grow out of this one, which it is claimed is intended as a test case.

A church on wheels is a novelty in thest parts. Last evening the chapel car "Evan gel," of the Baptist Association, was at the Union depot bound for Philadelphia. Bev. E. G. "Wheeler and his wife were in charge, and they were going to the convention of the church in the Quaker City to report on the work of the year. The car was presented to the Publication Society for use on the Pacific coast by John D. Bockcfeller, Charles L. Colby, Colgate Hoyt, James B. Colgate and men -of that financial caliber who can afford it. It will seat 100 people and is provided with an orean, a buffet and sleeping and sitting apartments for the minister and his wife. "While the car was at the station a num ber of trainmen examined it in detail. Mrs. "Wheeler, who was preparing supper, stopped long enough to play a few tunes on the organ. Then the men became enthusi astic and asked tho preacher to hold ser vices. He begged to be excused, as he was hungry, but promised to preach to the boys some other time. Mr. Wheeler is very much pleased with tho results. He has been working on the Pacific coast for nine month. In that time he held 500 meetings, had 450 conversions and organized 10 churches. In each case he saw that a pastor was provided be fore he left the town. "I have no trouble to draw crowd"," he continued. "The car is packed at every meeting. "When I sidetrack in a town I hang out a card an nouncing services, and the railroad men are aluays on hand. In making a long journey I announce a meeting on the train, and the passengers are glad to attend, to vary the monotony, if for nothing else. Coming over the Bockies on my way East, I had u ta'k with a train man, who said he hadn't been in a church for 18 years. He was very much Impressed, and brought in the cooks and waiters from the dining car, the porters and brakemen. Passengers joined the crowd, and in a short time our car was filled. We had a very earnest and most enthusiastic time while the train was going at full speed. Mrs. "Wheeler plays the organ, and vou have no idea how it helps in the service. I will recommend the building of another car to be used east of the Bocky Mountains." Mrs. Wheeler is a sweet-faced lady, and she plavs the organ and leads the singing. Often she is the onlv nomas present at tne meetings. She likes the work and the roving life. She aho knows how to cook, for she was preparing a savory supper while the reporter talked to her. The rail road men and visitors who inspected the car sniffed the odor of roast beef, and at once fell in love with the institution. They were not surprised that the church on wheels was a success. INSPECTING GARBAGE FtJBNACES, Sir. 3Iorse Says Cremation Is the Only Safe nan for Inland Cities. Mayor G. J. Karl and the Board of Health, of Columbus, con si iting of Drs. J. E. Overly, and S. TT. McBride, D. Kelly, J. H. Pfeifer and TV. A. McDonald, are regis tered at the Anderson. Columbus has de cided to burn its garbage, and the gentle men were appointed a committee to look into the merits of garbage furnaces. Yes terday they examined the furnaces in this city and Allegheny. They were accom panied by "W. "W. Patrick, the President of the furnace company. It was found that the dumping scheme is unsatisfactory, as Columbus is surrounded with a level coun try, and there is no suitable place of de posit "W. F. Morse, of the Englo Sanitary and Cremation Company, who is piloting the Columbus Garbage Committee, a few days ago read a paper on the garbage question before the State Board bt Health at Erie. It was published in The DisrATCH. The committee, with Mr. Morse, left for Nor folk last evening to inspect a furnace there. Mr. Morse says Cincinnati tried the dump ing plan and it failed. The garbage kept rising to the surface of the water, and there it rotted, filling the atmosphere with miasma. Mr. Morse claims if Pittsburg tries the plan that in a short time the authorities will be glad to return to cremation. New York and Boston are two cities where dumping the garbage works all night. It is taken out to sea from both cities, and in a short time it is devoured by the myriads of fish. Mr. Morse says that cremation is the only safe plan for inland cities. Bcndering nnd reducing garbage has been tried.but the ref use is hard to dispose of. He adds that. the furnaces here are overloaded, and that an other one costing 510,000 would solve the garbage problem in Pittsburg. THIS IS HOSPITAL SATURDAY. The rnbllc Is Requested to Help Alone; the Good Work In the Two Cities. This is Hospital Satuiday, and the char-, itably disposed will find plenty of opportu nities to contribute something for the asso ciated hospitals in the two cities. The boxes have been already distributed and they will be iound in convenient place. Last year the hospitals oared for 3,370 free patients and assisted 22,000 others. Mayor Kennedy and Chief Murphy, of Allegheny, have granted permission to the Ladies' Hospital Association to have tables on the sidewalks all of to-day to re ceive contributions for the hospitals. One table will be located at Carnegie Hall, one on Federal street, opposite the Market house, and one at the Ft. Wayne depot on Federal street. The Jadiei of the society will attend the tables. The public is earnestly requested to give liberally to the good cause. CITY CONTEACIS LET. " Bemodellns and Improving FIro Engine H mses and Telegraph SerIc.

Bis Description and Methods to Bo Bent to Banks Everywhere. ANOTHER NEW PLAN FOE PROTECTION James H. "Willock, President of the Sec ond National Bank, has written to the Chief of Police of Cincinnati inquiring about the bant forger known as Hunt, Lewis, Armstrong and other aliases. Mr. "Willock said last night he had not had any experience with the man, but he was fast becoming famous as a bank forger. "I was after information," continued Mr. "Willock, "as a member of the Executive m Committee of the American Bank Assochv 'tion. I had heard the Chief of Police, of Cincinnati, had got out a circular de scribing this man. Then I learned of some clever-operations on the Lansing nnd De troit banks. I concluded it was all done by the same man and so I wrote for one of the circulars. "When I get it I will send the cir cular and some other information to the Secretary of the organization in New York. He will issue another circular which will be sent to officers of banks all over the country so they will be able to recognize this man and his work the next time he tries to turn a trick. Mode S3, OOO Inside of an Hour. This man Hunt, or whatever his name may be, is a clever one, but so far as I am able to learn he has not operated in Pitts burg. He operated through Ohio for a lime and scooped in hundreds ot dollars. The last I heard of him was in Detroit where he gathered -in 53,300 for the Third National and the City Saving Banks of that city. He did it inside of an hour on drafts originally worth but 533. He appeared there as a man of medium height, with a long, gray beard, and a generally benevo lent and gentlemanly bearing. At the Third National Bank he asked to have a draft lor $1,800 made out by th? Lansing State Savings Bank on the Third National of Detroit cashed. The cashier's name was at the bottom of the draft and also on the back, so he would not need to be identified. It was payable to Henry F. Lewis. The aged stranger claimed that for his name aud got the money. On leaving there he went to the City Savings Bank aud presented a draft for $1,500. On the way there he changed his name to Thomas Armstrong. This draft was also properly indorsed and was also cashed. The Lansing banks were queried and said the drafts had been issued lor SIS and SIR They were both perforated, but they had been raised so perfectly that only when examined with a glass was the defect discovered. Carries a Chronic Couch. "Armstrong C. Lewis appears to be the same as Hunt, who is also known as the coughing bank forger. He has all sorts of disguises, but is afflicted with a chronic cough that quickly attracts attention. .He has been identified a number of times by this peculiarity, but always manages to get out. He is the slickest forger in America, and is said to have worked all the banks between Cincinnati and Chattanooga. H is very clever in changing disguises. I un derstand from private telegrams that Hunt was seen on Thursday in Canada. He still had the gray locks, but the beard had disap peared. "I am hunting up this information. I am just following out the work of the otganization. "We always do this when we hear of a successful forger. It is just a way we have of protecting ourselves. I believe that as another safeguard we should have a system of police calls such as are now in pawnbroker shops. A clever man could escape while we called an officer. Every bank should be connected with police head quarters so that when a button is touched in a bank it will show on an indicator just where a detective is wanted. Of course it may not be needed once a year, bnt when it is needed, it is needed awful bad. There are six of the banks here that have a burglar alarm connected with one of the de tective agencies. The other night 1 tested the one in our bank and in ? minutes three detectives were at the bank and one min ute later two more arrived, so I am con vinced it is a good thing." MEETING OF THE W. K M. S. Reports of Committors Sabmltted and In teresting Discussions Follow. The General Executive Board of the "Women's Foreign Missionary Society of the Methodist Protestant Church, now in ses sion at the Grace M. P. Church, of Sharps burg, listened to the reports of committees yesterday. Mrs. Anderson submitted the report ot the Committee on Finance, after which a motion was carried instructing branches of the society to send all moneys to Mrs. Anderson, Branch Treasurer. The branches which were not represented sent in their reports to the Bccording Secretary. The memorial services were conducted by Mrs. D. S. Cramer, of Michigan, and Miss F. A. Brown, of the Mnsbinguni branch, opened tho discussion on "Missionary Literature" and to what extent it should be used in the work of the society. Mrs. T. H. Calhouer addressed the meeting on mission ary work in Japan. A five-minute talk by pastors on the outlook for foreign missions in the M. P. Church proved an interesting and instructive one. To-day the business session will close with the election ot otneers tor tne ensuing year and the selection of the next place of meeting. On Sunday morning the annual sermon will be delivered by Bev. G. (1 Sheppard, and in the evening addresses will be made by returned missionaries. TACINrj DEATH BEAVELY. City Treasurer Dennlston Expects to Un dorso a I-'aTceroos Operation. "City Treasurer J. F. Denniston is in New York consulting Dr. Varney, a surgeon from London, regarding his chances of suc cessfully withstanding a surgical operation on the stump of his crippled leg. The Major lost his leg at the battle of Beam's station, Va. It was amputated above the knee, but was improperly done, and ever since he has suffered more or less from the exposure of the nerves in the stump. He expects that it will be necessary to have two or three inches taken off, and while realiz ing that the operation may have fatal re sults, the Major says-he is ready to take his chances of gaining relief. If the amputa tion is advised by Dr Varney it will be per formed in this city. Major Denniston was wounded in the arm at the Williamsburg engagement on May 5, 1802, then a Captain fn General Sickle's Brigade. After promotion he received his second wound.

WAITING FOR THE DAY. Mnrdorer FilzpatrlcU Has Seen the Clothes He Is to linns In and Is Well Pleased With Them He Talies Things Very Calmly. Patrick Fitzpatrick is to hang next Tues day. The Supreme Court yesterday refused the allocatur asked ior and thus the last hope the murderer bad on life was broken. "Warden McAleese told the man ol his fate. He expressed little surprise, saying: "I expected very little from the Supreme Court; my Jast hopes were crashed when the Pardon Board refused to interfere in my case. I am now ready to die." He was very calm. The murderer was shown the snit of clothes he i to be hanged in. It was pur chased by Sheriff McCIeary and is a black corkscrew. He looked at the clothes, tnrning them over and examining every particular. He was greatly pleased, aud as he finished his examination he said: "Well, you'll have to bury me deep enough or some tramp will come along and steal thce clothes." .Fhzpatrick spends his time either con versing with the death watch or praying. Ever since he-has been in jail he has been religions in his habits. Warden McAleese said last night, he had never heard the man use any obscene or profane language since he had been under confinement. Each day the staunch friend of the murderer, Father Griffin, and several Sisters of Mercv call. The man awaits their coming with the interest a child has for a parent.

Tie Captives Form a Strong Attachment for Iheir Captors. W.IB BETWEEN THEATRICAL MANAGERS Two big black bearj have created con siderable trouble in the two cities 'during the past week, and, as a result.the ferocious pair is now under the surveillance of the law in the person of two deputy constables. The fact that the bears are partially tamed and part of the exhibit of a local museum docs not materially detract from the in terest of a recital of their experience here. The bears are owned bv Melville & Co., from somewhere in thb East, and had been engaged for appearance at Harry Davis' Museum, in this city, for the present week, Mr. Davis spending fl96 the previous week in advertising them to the public as the greatest performing bears alive, to be seen only at his place of amusement, as his con tract warranted him in doing. But it seems Melville & Co., when they came here two weeks ago, received an offer of a two weeks' engagement at the "World's Museum, in Allegheny, and accepted it forthwith. Rubbing It In on Their Klval. After the first week in Allegheny had closed, the World people were not slow to take advantage of the opportunity, and at once advertised widely that the big black bears billed to appear in a Pittsburg house could only be seen at their place. Mr. Davis was naturally chagrined at being defeated, but was in a quandary as to the best way to get even without giving the other house the benefit of a big free ad. Accordingly he waited until yesterday to present a claim for the ?196 he had ex pended, and which had been lost by Mel ville & Co.'s change of plans. The claim was refused. Davis then went before Mag istrate McKenna and entered snit, the Mag istrate issuing a writ of attachment, which was- placed in the hands of Constable Sweeney and two deputies yesterday after noon. "When the officers proceeded to Allegheny to serve the writ-they were blandly met by Melville & Co., whodiscussed the situation for a few moments before entering the building. In the meantime, one of the bear tamers disappeared within the building, and a fewmoments later Melville & Co., leign ine acceptance of the situation, said to the officers: "The bears are onr only property. Go and take them." Coptnrln; Two Half-Tamed Grizzlies. The officers, on entering the apartment of the bears, soon learned what the tamer had been doing. The bears were loose, unmuz zled, savage, and the task of serving a writ of attachment on them looked formidable. But Harry Davis had anticipated just such a contingency as this, and had had two experienced animal tamers sworn in as deputies to serve the wrik The deputies were provided with ropes, hooks and the other paraphernalia necessary, and as soon as within reach cleverly lassoed the bear, and before the thoroughly astonished Mel ville & Co. realized it had the property ready for transportation. The bears howled and struggled at their strange experience, but their most vigorous efforts failed to se cure their release and the owners called for a parley, which resulted in the temporary releaseof the frightened animals. Consta ble Sweeney withdrew, leaving the deputies on guard until 10 o'clock this morning, by which time the amount of Mr. Davis' claim will be 'settled or the writ will go into effect. In the interim there are two expert bear tamers keeping an eye on the grizzlies, who at last accounts seemed to have formed a strong attachment for their new masters.

It Is claimed that Select Councilman P. J. Donahue, of the First ward, has decided to turn reformer and to fight the railway ordi nances providing for street cars on Market street. James McHush, Common Council man from that ward, and John J. King, from the Fourth ward, are also announced as reformers in connection with this matter. They all voted against the ordinances in Councils last Monday, but it is claimed their opposition is not so much against the occupation of Market street as it is to hav ing a street railway to carry people to and lrom the Exposition buildings. "When people must walk to the Exposi tion from Market street, as the lar,ie major ity have been heretofore compelled to do, it means considerable business to various and numerous small dealers in the First and Fourth wards, and it is asserted that this trade of their constituents is what the Conncilmen from those wards are desirous of protectin;, the belief being that if Ex position crowds are taken to and from tho buildine in rapid transit cars the local trade will be lost.
