Thousands of Brawny Workers Start on a Summer Vacation. tfHEEE HANI OF THE CLUBS LOCATED "With banners flying, bands playinj; and red fire burning, the Half Jloon Fishing Club, of the Southside, left for Ashtabula last evening, over the Lake Brie road, to go Into camp for the summer. Ifot all the hunting and fishing organizations for which Pittsburg is noted travel in such style, but, to use the current slang, "they get there lust the same." About 100 members of the Hall Moon joined in the parade, and at least 75 went into camn. The exodus to the lakes has commenced in earnest Yesterday morning the Lake Erie road put on two extra sections of eight cars each to accommodate the club business, and last night four more sections in addi tion to the regular trains were run. The office of E. C Dunnavant, the city passen ger agent, was swamped with people buy ing tickets. Captain JlcCormick dele gated several of his clerks to assist, and they managed by hard work to dispose of the people. Leaving Furnaces for Fresh Air. The glasshouses and many of the mills closed down last week, and the men are losing no time in getting away. The big, brawny fellows, with fat rolls of boodle in their hands, act like a lot of schoolboys on a Tillage green. The prospects of camp life tor a period, with plenty of fishing and bunting, fill their souls with delight, and it is impossible for them to conceal their glee. The old hands try to maintain a cer tain degree of composure, but the good-natured smile lurking around the corners of the mouths and the joyful look out of the eyes betray them. Ifobody begrudges labor its summer vacation, and the men who have toiled during the heat and cold will come back after awhile with renewed bodies and lots of vigor to continue the prosperity of this thriving citv. Men work in Pittsburg when they work, and they know how to enjoy themselves. It is fortunate that the city is located so near to the fishing grounds furnished by the Great Lakes. The rates offered by the railroads and steamboat lines are reasona ble, and the cost of living in the camps is pot high, so that it is abont as cheap to go cway for the summer as to stay at home. A rencrfo.1 Army In Camp. " Mr. Dunnavant remarked yesterday that a -great stir is made about Atlantic City and other seashore resorts, but he was willing to wager that mors Pittsbnrgers visit the lake regions than take a dip in the Atlantic during the summer. He figures that not fles ih.n 4,000 people from this city will camp during the hot weathwsorawhere in the lake country. During July not less than 1.500 Pittsbnrgers will receive their mail along the St. Clair river, over 200 are already located at Erie; 80 at Ashtabula and 60 at Kinsmaus, on the Lake Shore road. Mr. Dunnavant states that there are advance guards who have gone to prepare the camps. .Of the various resons, according to the ticket sales, Mackinac, including Snow Islands, is by all odds the most popular. Many will be surprised to know that Mrs. Holbrook, wife of the IX & O. superin tendent, owns Hotel Elliott at Les Chencaux. Next in point of popularity comes the St. Clair river, but a big crowd of people will spend their vacations in Canada around Lake Kipissing and along heEreach river. Fishing Clnbs Goicc and Gone. Among the clubs that have gone and will move Bhortly over the Late .Erie road are the following named: Half Moon, to Ashtabula. This club left last night, ac companied by a band of 28 pieces. W. L.

The Bhlne Club, of Beaver Falls, goes to Painesville next Tuesday. The Argonaut has 80 mem bers at Indian river, and the Lone Star Club, of Leetonia, has 50 people at Put-in-Bay. The other clubs will average 30 in membership that went into camp. The King Fishing Club went into camp yesterday up the Pittsburg and Western road. William Bandals, assistant yard master of the Panhandle, was presented with a series of pictures by Borne of the men before leaving. A TBEMEHD0US BUSINESS. Railroads Expect to Break the .Excursion Record This Snmmer. Division Passenger Agent E. D. Smith, of the Baltimore and Ohio road, speaking of the prospects for the summer yesterday said the business for July would be tremendous, judging by the inquiry for rates. The first of the popular excursions to Atlantic) City will be run July 14. The limit of time has been extended from 10 to 13 days. This is a big concession and will be appreciated by the people. Ten days was too short, and the majority of people prefer to put in two weeks. The road decided yesterday to run an excursion to Ohio Pyle on the Fourth. Superintendent Holbro'ok for a time was afraid he couldn't furnish the cars, but he will have 15 in the special train. The Christian Endeavor Society holds its annual meeting in New York this week. One lare for the round trip will be charged, and the tickets will be sold Julv 5, 6 and 7. The B. & O. will run a carload of Chris tain Endeavor people to New York on Tuesday.

The exercises of the week began with the Baccalaureate sermon on Sunday even ing. The services were conducted by the Bight Bev. Gortlandt Whitehead, Bishop of the Diocese of Pittsburg. The sermon was masterly, thoughtful and exceedingly ap propriate. It was based on the text found in St Mark ix., 27, and had for its subject "The Helping Hand." The underthought was that Christ worked often by personal contact, and that those who wished to reach others must do it bv the close influence of an'uplltted personality. In each man, as a consequence of the incarnation, there is a divine spark that only needs a discoverer and improver to burst into flame. The ser mon received the utmost attention from an audience that filled the large chapel to over flowing. Wednesday afternoon was given np to the graduating class for their annual class day exercises. The room was beautifully draped in gold and white, the class colors, and on the wall, in daisies, the class motto, "We p'ass this way but once." The exer cises opened with an address by the class president, Joe Trees, of Allegheny county. The following programme was then given: History, Margaretta Puringtou, Indiana; class poem, Fannie Williams, Indiana; solo, Alberto Haney, McKeesport; oration, i. L. Fiscus, Indiana; artist, Eleanor Dyer, Pittsburg; recitation, Marie Smith, Pitts burg; prophetess, Marguerite Elder, Apollo; grumbler, Helen Wilson, Greensburg; donor, Ellen Cooper, Johnstown. In the evening the annual entertainment of the Musical Department was given in Library Hall. This year the talent of the department was displayed in the production of Gilbert & Sullivatl's "comic opera, "The Little Tycoon." The opera was under the direction of Miss Wills, and the music fur nished by Stelzuer's Orchestra, of Pitts burg. The cast was as follows: General Knickerbocker, one of the old-time Knickerbockers S.

There was a novelty in the exercises in that they brought out scien tific and professional as well as literary fea tures. A number of the talks were illus trated by apparatus, specimens and charts.

"Squire Bob Llndieyl who was one of the sergeants at arms for the Bepnblican con vention, has a good joke on the Minne apolis people. The 'Squire is a loyal Pitts burger, and when away'fronr home will not admit that Pittsburg is second to any.city in the .country. The .Minneapolitans did some tall blowing about their city, and the truth is they have a very pretty town, but it lacks originality. "Why," said the 'Squire to' a Minneap olis crowd that wis pulled with pride, "yon have several fine buildings here that would be creditable to any city, but the designs have been copied from other places. The New York Life and Equitable bnildings are exact reproductions of structures in Chicago. Yon fellows ought to show some thing original before you do so much talking." ''But wait till our new city hall and conrt bonse is built," said one of them. "It is a world-beater, and when finished will be the finest building of that style of architecture on the earth. Here is a GOIHQ TO DKHVEB. All the Arrangements or Tancred Com xnandery Are Completed. W. H. Brown, for Tancred Commandery No. 48, has completed the arrangements for the trip to Denver in August The occa sion ia the annual conclave of the Knights Templar. Mr. Brown has ordered a special train of seven Pullman cars, a combination and headquarters car. The party will start at 3:30 in the afternoon, August S, over the Pittsburg and Western and Baltimore and Ohio roads. Superintendent Patton is hav ing the headquarters car specially painted and bearing the name and emblems of the commandery. Large streamers will be hung on both sides of the sleepers. The party will spend Saturday in Chicago viewing the World's Fair buildings. They will leave Chicago at midnight, arriving at Omaha on Sunday at 4 in the afternoon. They will lie there till 9 in the evening, when the journey will be resumed, reach ing Denver Monday afternoon. Mr. Brown states that all of the berths with the excep tion of 21, which are reserved, are sold. He says with the prospect of a lower rate the rush to Denver will be enormous. .- SLIP OF THE MEMORY.

Bliss Gorman Knocked Down Dy a Horse and Severely Injured. Miss Mary Gorman, daughter of Frank Gorman, of Fifth avenne, near Halket street, was run down in Schsnley Park and seriously injured Tuesday. The facts were not made public until yesterday. She was out on her wheel when she collided with a horse driven by J. A. Graver, of Station street. The young lady had three of her teeth knocked out and her face badly out. She is also injured internally. She has been confied to her bed ever since. There HE.

Bob looked at the lithograph for a mo ment, and then, unable to contain himself any longer, he burst into a loud laugh. His sides shook, and several in the party held him down for fear he would go into hyster ics. This unseemly behavior at first angered and then startled the Minneapolitans. 'Where have I seen that building before?" the 'Squire gasned between laughs', and then he. had another attack- of merriment. "As sure as I am living it is the Pittsburg Court House," he continued. "No wonder your people will be proud of it, for the temple of Justice in my city hf)s a world wide reputation, and people from far and near have traveled to Pittsburg for the ex- Eress purpose of seeing it. It has been ighly complimented by foreigners, as well as Yankees, and all admit that it can't be beaten anywhere." 'Not by a jug full," remarked a man wearing a seer-sucker. "Our Court House will be original; why, it was the one design out of SO or more tnat was selected. You Pittsbnrgers are great bluffers." The Minneapolitans Became Convinced. But Mr. Lindsey was persistent in his statements, and it finally begad to dawn on the Minneapolis people that he was telling the tiuth. The building is now in the course of con struction. It is up to the second story. In minor details it differs a little from the local Court House, but the design of the building is there, as everybody will admit who has visited the pile of granite on Grant street. It is stated that the Minneapolis architect spent two weeks in Pittsburg studying the build ing and he showed his good sense and taste in reproducing it.

Miss Gorman's story is that the horse ran into her, while Mr. Graver says she ran into his horse. Dr. Binehart says he cannot de termine the extent of Miss Gorman's injuries.

The New-Methodist Episcopal Church of Wifkinsburg is to ba dedicated to-day. The last service in the old building was held last Sunday with impressive exer cises, and the new one will be devoted to the purposes of worship with equally inter esting ceremonies. Bishop J. P. Newman will preach the dedicatory sermon in the morning, when there will also be some special music, including Bossini's anthem, "The God of Israel," and the hymn, "Be fore Jehovah's Awful Throne."

" The new edifice : one of the largest churches between East Liberty and Greens burg, and is very handsomely finished with stained glass windows and a chaste style of ecclesiastical architecture. Attached to the church is a capacious hall for the Sunday sohooL The congregation is proud of its school. It has a large number of young peonle in its membership, and it feels a pardonable pride in the fact. The dedica tion to-day will be the important event of the East Liberty "Valley. It is expected that there will be a large number of visitors irom all surrounding boroughs, as well as from the two cities. The failure of Controller Brown, ofAlle gheny, to produce before the Committee on Public Safety the proposals for the sale to the city oi lots in the Seventh and Eleventh wards for fire engine houses, promises to lead to a change in the manner and timeof opening bids for city contracts. The Con troller will insist that hereafter the day for closing all bids shall be the day on the even ing of which the Committee to pass npon the bids shall meet. Controller Brown was not in a good humor yesterday. He was worried because he had forgotten all about those bids on the preceding evening. It was the first time' he had done such a thing for a score of years. He felt also a little warm because Councilman Drum had taken advantage of his forgetfulness to criticise him. Not that Controller Brown cares two snaps of his fingers for the opinion of Councilman Drum, but the Controller was angrv be cause the Councilman had taken advantage of an aggravating slip of the memory to put him in a false light and make it appear that the Controller wJ; leglecting his duties. Controller Brown Makes an Explanation. Controller Brown said yesterday after noon: "I will tell you just how the matter occurred. Over a month ago the Chief of the Department of Pnblic Safety advertised for bids for two lots for engine houses. The bids came to me. I received four. I do not know for which ward they are, as they are sealed. Soon afterward the Com-.' mittee on Public Safety had a meeting, and I called the attention of the Chief of the Department of Public Safety to the fact that I had four bids. He told me to hold them until the next meeting. Since then the bids have been lying in my vault, and, with the multitude of other things I have to attend to, they had partially slipped my memory. Last evening after supper I came down to attend the meeting of the Committee on Public Safety to look after the payrolls for the employes of that department. Many of the men were anxious to get their money on account of Monday being the Fourth. 1 Eromised to look after the' matter, and I ad that on my mind. I was at the com mittee meeting until the payrolls were ap proved, and then spent about an hour around the hall, when I went home. I never thought of those bids. That is the plain truth about it Nobody called mv attention to the fact that they were wanted, and I did not flunk of them until I saw The Dispatch this morning. If anybody had mentioned the matter to me last night they would have had them. Miikrog a Change In the Method. "This is the first tjme this has occurred in 20 years, and it will not occur again. I am trolnc to notify the chiefs of the depart ments that they must hereafter close their bids on ihe afternoon of the day on the evening of which the committee meets. The bids generally close at 3 o'clock, and they must be opened that night Understand, I do not blame Chief Murphy. It was for getfulness on my part, but If 1 had not had the bids so long I would not 'have forgotten them." When asked whathe thought of the criti cisms of Councilman Drum,' the Controller would only say: "Mr. Drum has never been my friend, and he takes advantage of r trivial opportunity to criticise me. yesterday made out all the KILLED BY THE CURRENT. John Consens Electrocuted by a Westlng- honse'Dynamo at the Allegheny County Ught Company's Plant His BodyTeirl- bly Burned Death Instantaneous. Coroner Heber McDowell yesterday held an inquest in the case of John Consens, who was electrocuted by a Westinghouse- dynamo at the Allegheny County Light Company's plant on Virgin alley Friday night A verdict of accidental death was rendered.

Mayor Kennedy has sent to nil the mem bers of the Allegheny Councils his letter urging the issue of bonds for street paving. The proposition meets with strong opposi tion from the members for wards on the outside,, who maintain that the cost of the improvements ought to be borne by the property benefitted On Tuesday the Mayor will begin the mailing of the letter to prop erty owners in all parts of the city. Sol Coulson Wouldn't Be an Inspector. Detective Sol. Coulson returned to the front office force at city hall on the first, after being off several months on special work.

Mayor Gonrley yesterday finally settled the poor farm question by attaching his signature to the ordinance authorizing the purchase of the Neeld farm, on Cbartiers creek. As soon as Chief Elliot was notified he called on Chief Bigelow and arranged to have a careful survey made of the city's newly acquired property. Captain Neeld says no survey has been made of it since long before he bought it, when it was trans ferred in bulk as 223 acres, more or less. He thinks there are 236 acres In the tract, but as the city pays by the tacre it is im portant to know just how many acres there are as veil as to establish definite bound aries tor the farm. As soon as the survey is completed a detailed plot of the property will be sub mitted to the State Board of Charities, after which the buildings will be taken up. THE NEWSBOYS WEBE PAINTED. How Most of Them Cams to Have Blue Faces Yesterday. Two naughty newsboys on Fifth avenue yesterday afternoon caused great mortifica tion to their associate Arabs and much fun for the people on the street On the flag stone sidewalk in front of one of the piano stores a large advertisement had been writ ten with soft blue crayon. Over this crayon the two urchins rubbed their hands until the palms were as blue as Henry James' Venetian sky.
