Emil Weixt Shoots Pretty Hattio But tress and Then Turns His Revolver Upon Himself Four Shots End Two Lives He Leaves a Letter to Blast the Memory of the Woman Ee Had Asked to Become His Wife Hatred That Lived Beyond the Grave A Tragedy That Creates Intense Ex citement in Lower Allegheny. .A. most tragic tale embracing a terrible hatred that was meant to lire after death, is connected with a tragedy in Allegheny yesterday, when Emil Weixt, a German hairdresser, 45 years of age, killed Hattie Buttre" and then himself in the young lady's hairdressing parlors at Xo. 219 Beaver avenue, on account of unrequited love. At 1-50 o'clock ycterday afternoon Miss Hattie Buttress was attending to a cus tomer at the boarding house of Mrs. Mary Hamill, Xo. 219 Beaver avenue, where she lias conducted the hairdressing business for tome few months. She was standing with her back to the door chatting with Miss Lena Huntzingcr, when suddenly the latter noticed Miss BuUrebs becoming very pale. Her baud trembled so she could scarcely hold the implements she was using. Miss 31unt7itiger looked in the mirror and saw the reflection ot a man entering the room. A mome nt liter he stepped beside the chair, and iu a voice that Mas tremulous with passion, $.aid: "I've got you now." Wclxt Had Cliourn III Tim-. "What do you want?" asked Miss But ticss, nerving herself as much as possible. "Can you not see I am busy? Wait until I am through." "Xo: this will suit me," lenlied Weixt in the same tone. "I might just as well end this matter right here." , "Oh! Whpt do you mean?" cried Miss Buttress suddenly breaking down and drop ping her implements to the floor. She half turned around and a Miss Huntzinger ran to the uour excitedly calling for help, the aoan seized Miss Buttress by the right vri6tand jerked her forcibly toward him as Emil JTeiit, the Murderer and Suicide. he whipped a large revolver from his hip jiocket The doomed girl screamed frantic ally as bhe vainly endeavored to wrest her self away. The next instant Weixt turned the muzzle of the deadly weapon toward his victim and pulled the trigger. At the same time he released his hold of the girl's wrist and as she reeled backwards he fired again, the bullet tearing its fatal way to the heart of the girl scarce two inches from the place the firtt ball pierced. Tamed His IJeolvor Upon ITImsnir. Weixt cast one quick, hurried glance about the close little room; a look of des peration came over him, and then he turned the muzzle of the weapon towards his own breast. His nerve deserted him for an in stant and the bullet entered just at the arm pit. Before the blood began to gush from the wound he leveled the revolver directly at his heart and the fourth bullet left the steel chamber, and as the man staggered back, hurling the weapon into a distant corner, the life blood spurted out and his body fell to the floor. A breathlc-s crowd, with eyes wide open in horror, flocked into the roon! as the bright-hued carpet was being dyed with the crimsou stain of blood. "Undertaker Lowrie immediately summoned the police, and upon the arrival of the patrol with a number of officers from Allegheny City Hall, it took them some time to disperse the crowd. Coroner McDowell was notified and soon after Deputy Coroner Grant Miller arrived upon the scene and, took pos session of the bodies, which he subsequently turned over to Undertaker Lowrie. Later on the parents of the murdered girl took Jier body, but it was impossible for the undertaker to remove it to the house on ac count of the crowd that surrounded the place, Cannes Trading to the Tragedy. The story that led up to the tragedy has two fcides. The murderer's and the victim's. The latter is the only plaus ible are as the virtue and purity of the poor unfortunate is testified to by evervnne with whom she has worked, as well as those in the neighborhood. The murderer, not Mitisficd with killing the girl, left a letter to the newspapers ol the city, in which he vilified the character of his vict im in lan guage brutal in its realism. A little over a year ago, Weixt arrived in Pittsburg and secured cmplovment in the hairdressing parlor of" Dr. Goldberg, on the corner of Filth avenue and Wood street. Miss Buttress had entered the place but a short time before to learn the art of hairdressing, and by working in the same department with Weixt frequently came in contact with ' liim. Upon the first "time he saw her he was greatly attracted on account of her pure, sweet face. He immediately began making oerturcsto her, which she repulsed. This had the effect of angering him, and he told her upon teveral occasions that he vet possess her. lrird to Kscapn Weixt's Attention. Miss Buttress informed her mother of the existing state of aflairs and at her advice left the employment of Dr. Gold Serg to escape Weixt's odious at- ii VmIM tentions. She went to the hair dressing parlors of Mrs. Fosters' on Federal street, Allegheny, hut within a very short time Weixt followed her and recommenced plying his suit. Previous to this time lie began boarding with the parents of the youn? girl at 120 Market street, Allegheny. The giri wasunable to withstand the force of the man, and she informed her employer that she was obliged to leave. Weixt heard of this the same after noon, and going to Miss Buttress he again asked her if she would marry .him. She again 4ned, and Weixt in n moment of rage sail meaningly: "I'll get you yet, and when I do you'll rue the day. " With this strange threat he disappeared and from then until yesterday Miss But tress did not see nor hear of him. The result of yesterday's interview has been told. The sister ef the dead girl, Mrs. H. S. Hazlett, said last night that Hattie was a XtV-. 1& My IJattle Buttress, the Pretty Ticlim. pure, sweet girl and had never been away from home in the last several t years. "She never spent a night away from home," con tinued Mrs. Hazlett, "and being of a timid nature never stayed out. at night under any circumstances. The report that she had lived with this man is wholly and unequivocally false. Snch a thought never entered her head. She was a good girl, -and everybody had every confi dence in her." The Murderer n Married Man. Undertaker Lowrie said he had been in formed the murderer and self-murderer was a man of property and had a wife and several children in Baltimore, Md., where he had been during the last 12 months. The body, unless claimed by relatives or friends, will be turned over to the county for burial after the inquest, which will be held to morrow. Emil Weixt or, as he called himself.'Emil West, was a man of 45 years of age. He was massively built, and had a mnguificent figure. His lace was characteristic of the basest passions. His lips were full and ted, and his flat forehead and flat head, together with the brut ish jaw and cheekbones gave his face an aspect of brutality that was doubly conspicuous after death. In manner he is said to have been of quick nervous tem perament and was excited into a terrible passion of rage upon the slightest pretext. Little is known of his past and unless his body is claimed.it will probably go iuto the grave with the talc unrevealed. , The young lady was about 20 years of age and attractive, both in face and figure. She was admired and respected by everyone who knew her. The letter left bv Weixt is unfit for pub lication. In it he boldly avers that his re lations with Miss Buttress were more than those.of friends. The remains of Miss Buttress will be buried Thursday. WILL SUE ALLEGHENY CITY. X IT.

A WABHING TO T0TJBISTS. They Should Notify the 1'otlce When They Leave Their llomes Ungnarded. A request is made by the Police Bureau that families in all sections of the citv who are going away on summer trips and leav ing their homes unoccupied will, before going, notify Superintendent O'Mara or the inspector of their district, so that the pa trolmen can be instructed to watch the place from intrusion by thieves. "Too many people go away and make no provision for protecting their property," said Mr. O'Mara last night, "and if tlieir houses arc entered and goods stolen while they are away we know nothing about it un til ihey return. The thief has in the mean time covered his tracks and recovery is al most impossible. It we are notified we in struct our men to examine sucii houses several times each day. Then if an entry is made we know it w'ithin a few hours and have a chance to catch the thieves." SULUVAK STILL DELIRIOUS. Inspector Kelly Sn.s lie Was Struck by a rvm'ckey rreicht Train.

Skilled Workmen at Carnegie's Home stead Steel Works SIGN A THREE-YEAR CONTRACT. Amalgamated Association Officials Will Dave Say it NO EFFECr UPON THE IRON BCALE Great excitement prevailed among the residents of Homestead last evening over the announcement that the Carnegie Steel Company at that place had, through their general superintendent, Mr. Potter, entered into an amicable and thoroughly satisfac tory arrangement with the following trades men employed in their mills: Engineers, boilermakers, carpenters, patternmakers, painters, tinners, coppersmiths, millwrights, foundrymen, riggers and the machinists, blacksmiths and pipefitters, together with their respective helpers. These virtually include all the skilled labor in the mills outside of the members of the Amalgamated Association. The terms of the agreement are that the men will continue at the same wages they now receive for a period of three years, beginning with June 20, 1892, and extending until June 20, 1895. The workmen involved, nearly 700 hands, stated they had no grievance against the company, and were fully satisfied with the treatment they have been accorded by the management. Among the first to hear the news were several members of the wage committee of the Amalgamated Association, one of whom said: "It can hardly be denied that it would have been much better for all con cerned, in case of a strike, for all the men employed in the mill to be out and advo cating one common cause. Won't Affect the Amalgamated Men. "However, this action on the part of the tradesmen mentioned will in no way weaken the Amalgamated Association during the present time or in the future. All of these men belong to separate or ganizations, aud are paid by the day and not by the amount of work they perform. Another thing to be considered is that even if TOO men have signed a new contract, which I cannot be lieve possible, thev cannot have any great amount of work to do in case the iron and steel men go out on a strike or a lock-out occurs." Glancing over the schedule of the Amal gamated Association for the present week shows that to-day the delegates and various officials of the organization will have more than the usual amount of important busi ness to transact. It is expected that the long and exhaustive report of the Steel Scale Committee'will have been so far com pleted that it can be presented to the mem bers of the convention during this morn ing's session of the regular meeting at Forbes Street Turner HalL This report, which deals largely with the Homestead scale, is of the greatest possible in terest to all of the delegates, and the majority of them are looking forward to the result of the committee's work with many outward signs of impatience. Discussion of this report will probably con sume the entire morning. rientv of TVork Ahead for Delegates. The afternoon meeting will be devoted to matters, of a similar nature, providing the report embodying the Homstead scale has been acted upon. There are yet nine'morc committees from as many mills who have not up to last evening handed in their re ports, and ail of these will be riven a hear ing, so that the delegates will have plenty of business for the next two or three days. This evening President Weihe, together with Vice President M. M. Garland, Mc pherson Brown, Griffith Davis, John Johns, George D. Evans, James McClosky, T. G. Ainscourt, Raymond Bowers, Leopold Auberly, Harry Herbert, Thomas Hogan, T. H." Jones and "William J. Evans representing one of the conference commit tees of the Amalgamated Association, will meet a committee of the sheet and tin block manufacturers in the rooms of the Associa tion of Iron and Steel Sheet Manufacturers. The members of the last named committee are W. T. Graham, X. E. Whittaker, W. C. Cronemeyer, B. F. Jennings, J. G. Bat telle, B. If. Caldwell, George McMurtrie, V. Preston, William Banfield, Warner Ames and John Jarrett. These two bodies met and conferred on Friday evening last. The session was the longest of any held during this convention and no agreement was reached. The principal point of dis cussion was the wages paid to the shear man, which was hotlv debated by both sides. It is expected that a settlement will be reached this evening. Will be Banqueted at Homestead. In response to the invitation of the Home stead people to the delegates of the Seven teenth Annual Convention of the Amalga mated Association of Iron and Steel Workers to visit Homestead on Thursday evening next, President Weihe has ac cepted in behalf of the visitors. The enter tainment will be of the highest class, fol lowed by a banquet. Although no positive arrangements have been made by the offi cials, it is expected that the conditions of last year will prevail, which were as follows: The convention during the regular meeting hours of that day will, instead of taking a recess at noon, hold a continuous session of six and one-half hours, then, after taking a couple of hours recess, meet at the railroad station and proceed in a body to Homestead. Yesterdav morning, after hearing the report ot Vice President Sheehan, the convention adjourned, so that the Steel Scale Commit tee would have ample time to complete their labors. During the afternoon Presi dent Weihe received a letter from the officials in charge of the Western Peniten tiary, inviting the delegates to visit the in stitution at any time during their stay in the city. This was read to the delegates, many of whom agreed fo set aside an after noon to visit the prison. It was understood that the manu facturers' Conference Committee was to hold a meeting yesterday to decide upon a definite policy. The mem bers did not come together, however, sev eral of the committeemen being absent from the city. Conl Operators Fighting Oil Men. A bill in equity was filed yesterday by John W. Chalfant, C. B. Herron and Rob ert Marshall against John O'Donnell, Rich ard St Claire, James Brit and Michael Schailk The plaintiffs own the coal under land in Sonth Fayette township, and ask for an injunction to restrain the defendants from boring oil and gas wells through it. Observance of Labor Day. The project to celebrate Labor Day by a fitting observance has not been lost track of by the Central Trades Assembly. No action lias been taken thus far, but it is stated on good authority that there will be a labor parade followed by an immense mass meet ing at Schenley Park. Again Fat Into Operation.

A Prominent Lumberman Dies of Heart Disease at the St. James Hotel Death Cornel to Him. Suddenly on Sunday. Hiram Carman, of Portland Mills, was found dead in his room at the St. James Hotel yesterday morning. He is a well known lumberman and was afflicted with heart disease. Mr. Carman was evidently overcome suddenly, for he was found in a half reclining position on the bed. He had his clothes on and was sitting on the bed when death came. The head had dropped over on a pillow, and in this posture he was dis covered by the chambermaid. He probably died on Sunday, but as he was an exceed ingly quiet man'he liked to remain in his room on the Sabbath and he was not dis turbed. He had bled profusely from the nose and mouth. The blood had soaked through two thick mattresses and formed a pool on the floor under the bed. Mr. Lanahan, the former proprietor, said he knew Carman quite well, and he was frequently a guest of the house. He regis tered first on June 9 and then left, but he came back on the 14th. Carman was seen by the housekeeper late Saturday evening, and he appeared to be in good health. Clerk Frank Newell said he wasone of the quietest men in manner that he" had ever met, and for this reason he was not missed on Sunday. Edward Freis called at the hotel last evening, and said he, knew Mr. Carman very well. Until six weeks ago, he was Superintendent of the Clarion River Rail road, a lumber road owned by the Portland Lumber Company. He has three sons, two of whom are engineers on thex line. Mr. Carman was well fixed, and the station where the Clarion road joined the Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburg was named after him. Mr. Freis said his oldest son had told him that his father had heart disease, and he thought he had died from this cause. He had 5300 in his clothes and had come to the city for medical treatment.

A party of ten gay, well known young men from this city started out last Sunday morning bright and early, for a trip to Wheeling on the naphtha launch, "Mirth." There was a good supply of eatables and drinkables aboard and a grand day's ride was anticipated. But the sometimes rude hand of fate spanked the party hard before they had proceeded far. An unseen sand bar in the river opposite Sewickley came up to the bottom of the boat and stopped her short. Ten young men worked like beavers all day long and late into the night to get the boat off but when midnight came the boat was still on the bar, the provender had all been consumed and Wheeling was still S3 miles away. Then a badly dis gusted party of ten took the railroad and counted the ties from Sewickley to Alle gheny, arriving at 2 o'clock yesterday morn ing. The story got out yesterdayandten young men alongwater street were unmercifully guyed by their friends who declined to give out any names for publication. 00 TO "WORK AT ONCE. Tlio Contract Closed for the Erection of the Fhipps Conservatory. The Phipps Conservatory Commission met in Chief Bigelow's office yesterday afternoon, approved the working plans, closed the contract and made the other necessary arrangements for the construction of what is expected to be the finest floral conservatory on earth. Only a few imma terial changes were made in the plans, and a letter from Mr. Phipps was read urging an immediate beginning of the work. The contract price of Lord & Burnham. the architects and contractors, is 101,334 45, and Mr. Phipps has agreed to pay the $1,334 45 in excess of his original offer. The work is to be completed within a year, and eight payments of $10,000 each will be made as the work progresses. The final payment of $21,334 45 will be made 30 days after the contract is completed and approved, the commission having the right to make any changes in the specifications it deems proper. KILLED BY A FLY-WHEEL. v Singular Accident to a Boy Employed at Singer & Ntmlck'a Mill. Henry Custer, aged 10 years, an employe at Singer & Nimick's mill in the West End, was fatally injured by his head com ing in contact with the big rapidly revolving fly-wheel of the engine last night. Stories differ as to how he was injured, but it is supposed that, having a lew moments of leisure, he walked over to the wheel and was cooling off in the breeze it created when he lost his balance and fell against it. The velocity of the wheel was so great that it crushed his skull in and threw the boy like a rag for a distance of ten feet. He was picked up unconscious and taken to his home in the patrol wagon. A surgeon at tended him, bnt could do little for him, ex pressing the opinion that he could not re cover. HOLLY TRIED TO DROWN HERSELF. She Fought the OOlcer Who Fulled Her Out or the River. Molly Hartman, a resident of Hard scrabble, attempted to commit suicide last night by a slow and deliberate sRoll into the Monongahela river at the foot of Ferry street She was about half drunk at the time, but apparently knew what she was doing, as she called out "Goodby" to a lot ot loungers on the wharf. They notified Officer Meighan who happened to be nearby on Water street, and he ran down as she had got up to her waisu, She fought a little before she would consent to come out of the water. His Three Boys Are Missing. William Lewis, of No. 618 Forbes street, reported to Sergeant Hendrick, of the Fourteenth ward station, last night that he had lost his three boys, Evan, aged 10; Willie, aged 9, and Henry, aged 5. He said the boys were last seen by a neighbor riding on Forbes street in one of the Schen ley Park wagons. Mr. Lewis thought the boys had lost their way in the park, and with one of the park police he started to search for them. TUESDAY, JUNE 21, AWAITING THE DRILL. All Eyes Are Watching Develop ments in the Finhook Field. LAYING MAINS TO THE HESS WELL. Carnegies Have Scooped Up Over Acres of Territory. 1,000 CHIEF ELLIOT CALLS IT A BICH FIND Gas operators are all feeling good over the prospects of the new Pinhook field, but declare it is not yet developed sufficiently to prove its worth and extent All are waiting on the result of the wells now going down. The three wells on Plum Creek at Milltown are attracting the greatest attention. They are the Equitable and People's wells and will show whether they are only on the edge of the field or whether it extends toward Pittsbnrg. Notwithstanding these surmises the terri tory is rapidly being taken up. The Car negie people plead guilty to owning at least 1,000 acres in the Pinhook field, but refuse to state just how much more. Westinghouse is also accused ofowning land in the paying district President Ren, of the People's Gas Company, puts his holdings at 700 acres. Chief Elliot, who is considered one of the most successful gas operators in the country, yesterday bought a blook of the Pinhook territory at a fancy figure. He believes there is plenty of gas there. l-arlng Big Mains to the Finhook Field. The Philadelphia Company declares its three wells there are the biggest the com pany have, and on this Pinhook field it bases all its hope3 for the future. This company will commence at once the con struction of a 20-inch main four miles long to tap these new wells. Their main is to be connected with the old Chartiers 24-inch main, so that the full force of these new wells can be turned in. In three months the Hess well has not lost any of its pres sure. The five and five-eighths-inch main was not big enough to carry off all the gas, but with a 20-inch main the company will soon be able to tell whether'the wells can be depended upon as stayers. This com pany has put up seven rigs and has four wells under way. President Pew, of the People's Gas Com pany, and General Manager George H. Browne, of the Philadelphia Company, held a consultation yesterday at the Peo ple's office, but they did not tell what the consultation was about ,Mr. Browne said he still expected big returns from the Pin hook field. The People's Expect Good Returns. President Pew said: "We have excel lent territory in the Pinhook field. The biggest well we havo is there, and we have another nearing completion on the Miller farm. We expect a big well. We believe the territory is going Ho be good, but a year from now we could give more satisfactory statements. We do not know what the field will do. Our company has about 700 acres up there, and expect to get enough gas from it to make an abundant supply for all domestic uses and for the smaller manu facturers this winter, and possibly longer. I believe it is very good territory, and the prospects at present are bright There is no way of telling what the field will do un til the drill has made a more thorough search." An attempt was made to see H. C Frick on the Carnegie gas interests in the Pin hook field, but he was out of town. Daniel M. Clemsou, superintendent of the mining department of the Carnegie association, who has charge of their gas interests, was seen, however, and he believes there are indications of a good field there. He ad mitted the Carnegies held a thousand acres in the field, but would not state how much more. Said he: "I would not risk my reputation in making a positive statement about the new field now. I do not know whether it is all that has been claimed for it, and I would not risk saying there,was no large body of'gas there. " ' An Expert's Ylw on the Field. "We simply do not know yet, but will be able to tell more about it when the Equita ble and People's wells come in at Milltown. If they are good, the field is a great one, though I doubt if we will ever find a sand as prolific as the Murraysville. At present it is the best territory in sight There are two dry holes, though, in the Pittsburg dis trict." Some person who does not sign his name has sent a letter to TnE Dispatch stating that the Pittsburg Glass Company drilled several fruitless wells south of Tarentum which is across the river from the new field and barely on the edge of the anti-clinal. He also says the Lee well, one mile east of Milltown was a failure. Chief Elliot was asked about this and said: "The Lee well is in the Pinhook field, and is a good well even though the city of Pittsburg could not see it I bought some territory up there this morning. There is plentjr of gas fn that field and I be lieve more will be found. I believe the Pinhook field is a big one. Last week I wanted to go up there and get some terri tory, but could not do it The result was I had to pay a big price to-day." HONEY FOR THE SUFFERERS.

Ex-Collector Dave Martin called at the Re publican City Committee room about noon, but promptly disappeared after looking over a telegram that said Mr. Quay would not be here. Collector Cooper took a run down to Washington and met an appoint ment at the Treasury Department. His visit had nothing to do with the Senator. Chairman Reeder kept to his Easton home also, but will be in town to-morrow. The time for the Republican city legisla tive nomination is due, and this part of the campaign is to receive Mr. Quay's personal attention. He is interested in the list of candidates. He furthermore intends to be certain that the delegation shall be one un divided in its support of Quay, and this is the object of his visit Incidentally the organization and location of State head- ?iuarters will be discussed witii General ieeder, and the legislative feature of "tiie campaign will be effectively decided upon. Some weeks ago it uos stated that Repub lican headquarters would not be at the Con tinental Hotel, as in former years, but a building elsewhere had been engazed for the workers, and this departure from cus tom was intended to make things more ex clusive. It appears,, from what the city leaders say, that this programme is not at all satisfactory to Senator Quay, who favors general and not exclusive headquarters. The Senator has been hearing from party leaders all over the State who do not take kindly to any other place than the Conti nental. It is understood that General George B. Orladv, I. A. Davenport, J. J. Carter, Charles H". Mullin, H. C. McCormick and others from the country districts have been quite outspotcen against the change and deem it unadvlsable to engage in such a departure. They argue that the legis lative contests can be looked after at 730 Walnut street by F. W. Leach, if neces sary, but the State campaign must proceed in the usual way if harmony is to prevail. It is stated the citv ward leaders have made selections for the Legislature in all the districts, and that Senator Quay will meet the candidates to-morrow. Alter the conference it will be known who are to run on the ticket After his approval the con vention will know just what to do and how to do it. CHORUS GIRLS GET ANGRY. They Cat Up Their Wardrobs Because They Were Fined for Wearing Cleve land Badges Agnes Hantlngton'n Com pany Lett Without Its Vocalists. CniCAGO, June 20. Special The sea son of Agnes Huntington's Opera Company closed at MeVicker's theater Saturday night. There was trouble on every hand. When the company of English chorus girls were ready to take a train for New York they found their baggage piled upon the platform instead of on its way to the East This was due to the disappearancaof Mana ger Schroeder, who had promised to meet the ladies and deliver the tickets to them in person. The trouble started when the girls pinned Cleveland badges upon their breasts while they danced on the stage. Schroeder, for the offense, fined each one ?2.50. After the show the pay envelopes were passed around and every one of the girls found $2.50 less than correct amount inclosed. Then the mob of girls rushed over to the Palmer House and made complaint to Miss Hunt ington. The latter professed ignorance in the matter and refused to interfere in the differences between the young English ladies and Manager Schroeder. That settled it as far as the star was con cerned. A short conference was held. It was decided to cut up the costumes in small chunks and throw them into the alley. Scissors were procured, and busy hands soon left the GO beautiful abbreviated suits in bad condition to clothe GO young ladies. It took only two minutes to make enough rags to manufacture several yards of carpet, and so the wounded hearts minis tered their salvation. The baggage episode came later, serving only to add fury to the passion already created, and the English supporting company of Agnes Huntington was disbanded. Some are still in Chicago and a few had enough to get to New York, even though they were minus the fine. AFTER FIFTEEN YEARS. A Sister Finds Her Long-Lost Brother Un der Strange Circumstances.

A SUGGESTIVE IKVITATIOH To All Parties Interested to Visit and View the ITeeld Farm. In connection with the proposed visit of the Charities Committee, Councils and city officials to the Nceld farm to-morrow, a communication was sent out to all the in vited parties yesterday whicli created con siderable talk about town. As the Chari ties Committee is not supposed to have made a report as to which farm should be selected, and as no official action whatever has been taken In the matter, the communi cation is considered to be in bad taste, at least, though it only verifies the statement ot fact 'exclusively published in The Dis fatcii over a week ago.

Lnpton's Home. The residence of W. B. Lupton, 133 Ply mouth street, was entered by thieves on Saturday night, who, after ransacking the premises, departed, taking with them only a few old coins that were found in a bureau drawer. Mr. Lupton and his family had spent Saturday at Hulton, and on returning home on Sunday discovered the robbery and at once reported it to the police. An investigation showed that an entrance to the house had been effected by chiseling a rear door. Last night'Special Officer Patrick Kelly, of the Southside district, arrested George Parker and Charles Carrolton on suspicion. The arrest of the defendants came about in a peculiar way. Detective Kelly, while on Mt Washington, overheard a butcher make a remark about some old coins that.he had taken in at his store. The detective asked to see them, and he was shown a gold 25-cent and a gold CO-cent piece. As these corresponded exactly with the coins taken from Mr. Lupton's house the detective made farther inquiries, and found that the butcher bad received them from George Parker. A Btill further investigation led to til s arrest of Carrolton, and both men were accordingly captured and locked up in the Thirty-sixth ward station. Stock Complete Ladies Blouse Waists.
