lr i fV , TTTtt PITTSBUBG- DISPATCH. SUNDAY, JUNE .5, 189a , -.tBP -i..f CITY PL AYGRQUND "Where Children and Adults Can Indulge in Innocent, Healthful Sports, INDOBSED BY THE MAYOB. Baseball and Football Gronnds and Tennis Conrts to Be Laid Out, RAISING THE NECESSARY FMDS By Popular Subscription Expected to Be a Terj Easj Matter. FEATURES TO PLEASE THE LlTIIil ONES Pittsburg's great breathing spot should be brought nearer to the people. A play ground lor the populace is demanded. At least five of the broad acres of Mrs. Scben ley's great gift should and will be given as a home for sports a place for the school children, the ball ground for the newsies as well as the children of millionaires. It is intended to make it a place also for all amateur athletic associations thatv now ex ist or mar hereafter be formed. The mat ter was laid before Chief Bigelow, Mayor Gonrley and a number of other prominent people by The Dispatch and it is has re ceived their unqualified approval. The great parks of the Bast and of Europe have such places. Pittsburg has the ground and needs only a little energy to carry the project into effect and make a place where all can enjoy the pleasure of ontdoor sports at a minimum cost The idea is to devote five acres to this project and more if necessary. One portion can be devoted to ball grounds and football fields. The number does not need to be limited to one. Another portion can be set aside for tennis courts, cricket grounds and all other kinds of popular sports and games. Easy to Defray the expenses. There is no place the public can use as a playground, and if any amateurs wish to give an exhibition or to practice they must go out of the city or hire a lot. All people cannot afford to do this and there is really no necessity for it since in Schenley Park there are acres of room. Of course it will require considerable money to run these grounds, but it can be raised without affecting the city. There will be a necessity for a pavilion in which the people can have a place to keep a change of clothing, tennis racquets, balls, etc This building can be put up readily for between $1,000 and 55,000, and the lockers rented to people who patronize the playgrounds. The rental from these will be enough to keep the 'grounds in good condition the year around, and will not be a burden on anybody. Another plan also much in vogue in tbe East and Europe is that of renting, the privilege of having "merry-go-rounds" or roller coasters on the ground. This would be a big source of revenue as would also be the privilege of keeping for hire donkey carts and little wagons to which a dog or a goat is hitched. In other parks such things are done and these funtastics prove a source of endless amusement to the children at a cost that nearly any child can afford.'' Ko Trouble to liaise Subscriptions. The money to put up the pavilion can be raised by popular subscription, and there would be no necessity to drain the City Treasury. It is expected that good sub scriptions can be gotten from the street rail way companies. "When the matter was placed before Mayor Gourley he approved of the idea of a playcround for the people, and declared he would give his support to the project He said: A playground, both for the children and grown people, is one of the great necessities or this city. The idea of having some big playcround for the school children was once mentioned to me by Superintendent Luckey, but this broader plan is better. Schenley l'ark is certainly the place Tor it. The instl tntlon of such giounds would be ptobably the urizhtest leature of the parir and un doubtedly have the best effect on the city in general, for it will give us a more hardy, active set or people in the rising generation. It will foster sports and phys ical development a thing which has too much been neglected. Other great parks have set aside a portion of their ground for this purpose and have found it of great benefit. Boston common has become famous as a foot ball ground and in Sew Tork, Philadelphia, Brooklyn and Baltimore there are public play grounds that are great features of those gieat cities. A Suggestion From tho Mayor. One thing I would suggest is that the ground be divided off from the park by an osage orange hedge. Such hedges are used elsewhere and have a very beautiful effect. As for the cost of maintaining the place, I believe tho rental from lock boxes in a pavillion would be sufficient Once put in shape I believe it would not cost much to fceep it up. lr the rental was not sufficient to pay lor keeping a man there the city could pay his wages or the work could be done by the paik policemen. The building need not cost more than $5,000. It will be an eaBV thin? lor tha citizens to raise that amount. I believe our business men will subscribe readily and the street railway companies ought to respond hand somely. It will be a great benefit to them as they got the same fare for a child as for a jtrown person, and a pnbllo playground in Schenley Park will make a rich and con tinuous harvest for the traction roads. I will do all I can to have the matter brought before the public SENTENCED TO DEATH. Dennis Cloonan, the TvUe Murderer, Or dered to Pay the Extreme Anally of the law A Solemn Scene In the Crimi nal Court. Judge Slagle in Criminal Court yesterday morning pronounced the death sentence on Dennis Cloonan, the wife murderer. The doomed man was brought into the court room by a deputy sheriff. By his side was his attorney, Thomas M. Marshall. The first procceeding was the refusal by the Court for a new. trial on the ground that the Court was satisfied that the jury re turned a proper verdict. District Attorney Burleigh then moved for judgment in the case of the Commonwealth versus Dennis Cloonan. When asked by Judge Slagle if he had anything to say why sentence should not be pronounced against" him, Cloonan replied: "I have nothing to sav, only I was drunk." Judge Slagle then' said: "The iury in this case have found you guilty of the high est crime known to the law of Pennsyl vania. "With that verdict the Court is fully satisfied. I have'nothing to say in passing sentence, because the sentence in itself carries with it all the solemnity that could be given by any words I might use. The sentence of the law is that yon, Dennis Cloonan, be takenhenceto the Allegheny County Jail, from whence tou came, and lrom thence, at a time fixed by the Governor of tho Com monwealth, to the place fixed for the execu tion, and there be hung bribe neck until you are dead, and may God in his infinite goodness have mercy on your soul." Cloonan did not appear to be very much affected and was immediately taken back to jaiL ETNA'S MISSIHG BEI1EGB00T. WILL -TALK -IT OVER.

LABOR NEWS OP GENEBAL INTEREST Mihm Is Said to'Unyo Married an Old lore In Chicago. The news in some way has floated back to Etna that Mihm, the missing bridegroom,! now in Chicago, and what is more, has mar ried an old lady love ot his there. Several weeks ago Mihm was' scheduled to marry a young lady in Millvale. The wedding night came. The bride, guests, preacher and supper were all ready, but the bridegroom failed to appear. Nothing has since been heard of him until this report is wafted back to his bride who was to be runeial of the Coroner's Brother.

The Homestead wage trouble will be the all absorbing question before the conven tion of Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel "Workers. The report published in yester day .morning's Dispatch telling of the coming conflict in Homestead was not altogether credited, as like results have come from them before, which did not pan. Later in the day, however, when it was learned that Homestead was flooded with posters bearing tha official signature of President "Weihe, of the Amalgamated Asso ciation, telling th'e members of the eight lodgers there that there would be a mass . meeting to-morrow to' discuss the matter, the trouble was then looked upon as a cer tainty. It is not the policy of the Amalga mtated to give any notoriety to its doings unless the occasion required. Manager Frlolc Is Xon-CommlttAt H. C Frick, who now stands at the head of the Carnegie interests, was seen yester day afternoon relative to the reported .trouble. He refused to either deny or affirm ' the story, saying it was not the custo'm of the company to discuss such matters. The Amalgamated Association officials were seen. They refused to talk on the matter, saying the question would be thoroughly discussed in the coming con vention. Away last winter it was intimated that this summer would see a bitter coaflct be tween capital and labor at Homestead. With the first of July the scale, which has ueen in iorce at Homestead lor -tne past three years, will expire. In 1889, when their scale was signed, there was a short but bitter fight It was then decided to run the mill non-union, but the effort failed, and it now looks as if the tactics of three years ago were being unearthed. .Long expecting a Redaction. Prom time 'to time since the first of the year it has been given out at Home stead that the new electrical process of making steel would greatly decrease the number ot employes, the cut being most ielt in the circles of skilled workmen. This system is now in working order. Shortly over a month ago a report was circulated that Carnegie, Phipps & Co. was then at work on a scale, owing to the new process, which would cause areduction of CO per cent. The company in dignantly denied it, and the Amalgamated people laughed, calling such a move absurd and out ot the question. Yesterday's report proved that the rumor floated on a 40 per cent basis at least An iron worker yesterday said that he did not see how trouble could be averted at Homestead. Manager Porter had given the j men the scale, told them no debate on the question was desired and demanded that the agreement be signed by June 24. The gentlemen thought that the company was ready to stand by what it had demanded, and, conferences could be held from now until next winter without making any difference in the big firm's position. To him it seemed but a scheme to force a strike so thst'the company could make an attempt'to make its mills non-union. A strike at Home stead means that the steel business ot the world will be affected. transfer The coal lies along Big Sewickley creek, in Westmoreland county. The whole 3,200 acres wis sold to Philadelphia capi talists at $100 per acre. THE EXCHANGE WINS. Judge McCIung Befase to Grant an In junction Against the -Body The Caie May Be Carried Up Attorney Porter'a Views of the Decision. The Builders' Exahange has won in its fight with the independent contractor. The Court refused to grant the injunction against the Exchange. The decision caused both dissatisfaction and pleasure. The labor organizations were all looking tor a victory, as they thought the testimony was strong enough to warrant the granting of an injunction. The defeated side is so strong in this belief that it may carry the case to a higher tribunal. Judge McClung, in handing down his de cision, said: 'Undoubtedly these defendants have a lesml right to organize together for mutual aid. benefit and protection, and to establish reg ulations lor the lurtherance of their mutual interests in an orderly manner; they also may, each and all, sell or refuse to sell sup plies and materials and refuse to employ or deal with the each and all of the plaintiffs. Just as each and all of the plaintiffs may buy or refuse to buy or work or refuse to work for each and all of-the defendants; and tho defendants may as individuals use all law ful and peaceful means to Induce others to refuse to sell supplier or materials to the plaintiffs or any of them, or to deal with them or anv of them. Without reciting at length the statements contained in t)ie various affidavits offered by the complainants in support of their appli cation for a preliminary injunction, it is suf ficient to say, that a careful examination of all of them lalls to disclose any act com mitted by the defendants in which tho plaintiffs in thomselves have a common in terest entitling them to an injunction for their protection. The affidavits show the commission of certain acts complained or by oertaln or the defendants, affeotlng certain of the plain tiffs, not all of them. There were several. And they show affirmatively that there in no Joint or common Interest between the Jilaintlffs which could be proteoted by an In unotion, nor are there any separate inter ests of plaintiff in a common piopertyor right of property which could be protected bv an injunction. If, however, this is not sufficient reason forrefusing the application" the same careful examination of the affida vits falls to show any present distinct and particular acts committing or threatening by the defendants, or any of them, causing Irreparable loss to any of the plaintiffs in this bill, and entitling them to an injunc tion. All of the acts complained of that are distinct and particular occurred, or were committed, long since, and If any injury re sulted therefiom the proper) remedy is an action at law to recover damage'-. In tho affidavits certain nresent acts are couiplainod of as being committed by cer tain of the defendants, with reference to the building now in course or erection known as the Solomon A Buben building, and the con tract for tho erection of the same, but neither Solomon or Buben, nor either of their contractors, Kretz or Cook, are parties to thiablll, and no injunction to restrain the same can be granted to these plaintiffs. The affidavits relating to these acts cannot In any way effect this case, and the same may be said of all the affidavits, of which theie are a large number i elating to acts com plained or committed by any of the defend ants against any person not parties as plain tiffs to this bill. L..K. Porter, one of the attorneys for the plantiffx, had this to say of the case yester day afternoon: "I thought the testimony in this case was stronger than that on which the Pittsburg, Allegheny and Manchester Traction Company secured, an injunction against H. H. Dempsey. The affidavits from Buben & Solomon was conclusive testimony that the Exchange was resorting to conspiracy in the circulars it was issuing, regarding the work on their building. The Court in the decision did not snmmarize tbe evidence and it would be difficult to know upon what theory the injunction was refused, except to guess that even if all tbe testimony of tbe com plainant wes true, they had no remedy. To-morrow it will be decided as to what fu ture steps will be taken in the case." FUNDS FOR A FOURTH. - CHOICE PROPERTIES.

The regular meeting of the Allegheny County Prison Board was held yesterday. In addition to the approval of the regular bills the only business transacted was the approval of the appointment by Warden McAleese of John Summerrille, an ex policeman, as keeper in the jail to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of James Men. .noon, line latter resigned fo accept a clerkship in the County Treasurer's office.

If we can believe our society colnmns, this month will see a great many weddings. Xearly everyone is interested in them, and feels it incumbent on them, as tbe fashion now goes, to give the bride some token or their good wishes. To a few people those with well-filled purses, and who can afford to Indulge in precious stones, or gold or silver sets, the matter of choosing a bridal present is one of little worriment But to the majority, it Is a very perplexing ques tion. To such we would make some sugges tions. First, we would mention Oct Glass. This is admired and appreciated by every person, and is now made In such a variety of beautiful designs, and at such prices that almost anyone cn be suited. Punch Bowls, Fruit Bon Is, Pitchers, Water Bottles, Oil .uotues, .Decanters, uuve Trays Tumblers, are only some of the beautiful articles in this line, that are always in good taste. Then, uo matter how much gas or electric light they have, everybody will appreciate a nice Banquet or Vase Lamp. We would also mention fMnner Sets, Ice sets, Toilet Sets, Fruit Platos, Altar-Dinner Coffees, etc These are articles which are always appro priate, and In which you can make no mis take. Call at Cavltt, Pollock Jb Co.'s, 935 I enn avenne, a few doors from Kinth street, and we feel sure that you can find something that will please the bride, and yourself also. POMPIHG COAL THE0TJOH PIPEB. The H. C Frlcfc Coke Company Makes7a Fair Test. The H. C" Frick Coke Company has by tests found that coal can be transported in liquid form, but whether it can be done at a profit is yet'to be determined. The. test was made,, a few days ago. The coal was pulverized and mixed with an equal amount of water. It was then piped through a two inch tube a distance of 1,300 and to an ele vation of 40 feet , Mr. Frick, in his opinion of the test, says: 'To mix coal with water, as must be done to transport it through pipes, I do not think will make as good coke as the same coal would make in the ordinary manner of coking. This remains to be tested. We pulverized the coal in this test I think if the coal had been crushed to the size of powder it could have been pumped easier and would make better coke. The scheme will yet be made a success. ANOTHER TBACTI0H MOVE, The Citizens' TTI11 Try to Enter MUIvalo Over the Forty-Third Street Bridge. The Citizens' Traction Company has a scheme, which will compete with the Pitts burg, Allegheny and Manchester's Mill vale, Etna and Sharsburg road. The idea is to run a line from Lawrence ville over the Forty-third street bridge into Millvale. From there it will go to Etna and out to the toll gate. This would not take Etna's patronage over the Sharpsburg road. The company offers to pave the entire right of way if granted ,by Councils. It is probable that ordinance will be pre sented to both the Millvale and Etna Coun cils to-morrow night The feeling still seems to be on the side of the Pittsburg, Allegheny and Manchester, as it offers the 5-cent rate and direct transportation. FLINT GLASS C0NFEBEHCES. Extraordinary Statement. The statement made by the Philadelphia Company, in detense to a suit brought against them, said: In- all probability the natural gas supply would bo exhausted in three years. This should not retard the people from buying natural gas appliances. If this statement was made on actual knowl edge it would par you to investigate the woi kings of the Jewett Gas Kange and become posted .as to its merits and to its economy in the use of this most valued fuel. If the supply would only last three years you would bo ahead, for the Jewett Jtange would save the price of itself in that time. And you would have all the pleasure of using gas during that period.

TJhles'j contributions for the Fourth of July fund come in more rapidly during this month than they have in the past two weeks Mayor Gonrley will be unable to raise the (10,000 he has set as the figure for the celebration. Only ?230 came in yesterday, making the total up to date $2,704 CO. This is about the same amount collected at the cor responding date last year, when only $6,000 was raised for the fund, but the Mayor is sanguine that the people will come forward and help him to make the last celebration during his term .of office a grander success than any of the others. The Mayor has his heart in this work, and, while he does not say so, seems to feel that the people ought to show their appreciation of his efforts in their befialf while in office by making a good contribution to this his last entertain ment for all the people. Soulhilders Proffer Hearty Aulstanee. The arrangements for the celebration are being made as rapidly as possible, although comparatively little can be done until the amount of money available is known. This shows the necessity for promptness in con tributions. The people on the Soutbside have wisely decided not to hold an inde pendent celebration this year, and the re sult will be beneficial to the Schenley Park affair. The men who made a success of last year's entertainment on that side of the river say it requires too much hard work to raise the funds, and when done the Schen ley Park meeting overshadows it so greatly that it is trifling by comparison. Tnere is an apparent desire, too, among Southslde people to wipe out the prejudice that existed at one time asainst the East End. A step in this direction is shown by the argument they use in reference to the relebration. They say the Mayor's efforts are as much intended for them and Schenley Park, and the Fourth of July is as much theirs as it is for any other section .of the city, and they mean to enjoy it to their utmost Bnftlnesi Men Will Contribute Generously. A number of the leading business men over there have already signified their in tention of contributing for and assisting in making the Schenley Park meeting the suc cess that everybody wants It to be. The Mayor wants all Allegheny county to gather in Schenley Park next Fourth. He has decided to send invitations to tbe Mayor and Councils of Allegheny, and through them to all the people ot that city, and through the Board of School Control he will invite all the school children. Through the Mayor ot McEeesport he will invite the Councils and tbe people of the little citv on the Monongahela, and through tbe burgesses of all the boroughs within the county limitB he will invite all the' inhabitants to come to Schenley Park, see how the glorious Fourtb. should be patriotically observed, and take part in the proceedings. Prof. Kirschner, of the East End Gym nastic Club, has been authorized to join with a representative of each of the other leading athletic club of the city in arrang ing the sport contests of the dav. Tnis com mittee will have the whole matter in hand, under the Mayor's supervision, and are now arranging a schedule of the events. Handsome Prizes for the Winners. The contests will be more interesting than any yet held, and it is probable that the winners of the first prizes will be given medals. Winners of two prizes will re ceive such artieles as the business men will contribute as in former years. Four bands will make music, the same, probably, as were engaged last year, the Great Western, Second Brigade, Select Knights and Grand Army Bands. The Mayor is receiving numerous letters from fireworks manufacturers and peo ple who want to furnish amusements of various kinds for the day, but is taking no steps in that direction until the money comes in. Colonel Culyer, the park archi tect, has planned the grand stands for the celebration. They will be placed about as they were last year, but will be more con venvenient and coniforable, and there will be other conveniences arranged to make the great throng of visitors on that day happy and thankful that they belong to this land of the free. Yesterday's contributions to the fund were: Booth & Flinn, S100; Carrie Fur nace Company, $50: Dilworth, Porter&Co., Lim., $25; Thomas Wightman & Co., $20; Biber & Easton, $10; John Hall, Jr., &Co., $10; James Gettv, Jr., $10; J.
