SUNDAY; JULY 10," 189a" DECISION WANTED To Determine if the Mayor's Approval of Contracts Is Necessary. MOREOW WILL BEING SUIT. Jto More Warrants lo Be Paid Until the Case Is Decided. THIS WILL DELAY IHPHOYEMENTS. Bome Uew Street Eailway Privileges Are to Be Granted. THREE INCLINES FOR THE SOUTHSIDE Unless decisive action is taken eaily in the present week Controller Morrow will next "Wednesday carry into execution the threat made by him a week apo to stop pay ment on any and all contracts for supplies or work let by the chiefs of de partments without the Mayor's ap proval. It is immaterial to the Con troller who takes the necessary step, but ha insists on its being immediately car ried up to court for a decision. At the meeting of the rinance Committee a week ago yesterday the Controller stated his position very succinctly and served notioc on the cfmmitte? that he would compel somebody to go intp court by refus ing to pay the money due them unless the committee arranged for a settle meat of the point without forcing him to adopt arbitrarv measures. The committee, in the face of this plain and buiness-jke statement, cither because they didii't know what to do or because they de sired to show their contempt for such a threat, took no action at all on the question beiore them, notwithstanding the pointed ndi ice contained in an opinion they had under consideration from the City At torney. The opinion clearly stated that the Question raised by the Controller was a grave and important one, and the only way to settle it was by a decision from the Su preme Court. Hard to Gt a Decision. To get such a decision will require con siderable time. The Supreme Court moves slowly, as a rule. If the Controller sticks to his resolution to refuse to draw warrants for the persons having contracts un til the decision is handed down no end of inconveniences will be entailed on the various departments. The contractors furnishing supplies will be wary, it is thought, about keeping up'to their contracts, when they are receiving no money for the good's furnished and are not likely to for months to come and mav take the opportunity of getting out of their con tracts. If the rule is applied to street con tracts it may cause badly needed improve ments to be delayed over the coming winter. In discussing the matter yesterday the Controller said: "I was given to under stand last week that a suit would be entered vesterday or to-day to secure a decision on the question as to the Mayor's right of ap proval of contracts. But the suit has not been brought and I have heard nothing about it since. I would have closed down on contract warrants last week but for that understanding. Will Giro Throe Days' Graee. I will allow two or three days for Coun cils, the Finance Committee, or whoever choo?es to settle the matferVto make 'a be ginning and if nothing is done I will stop payment. It won't be long then until some ot the contractors will sue tor their money. Then I will go into court and take the ground that the contract had not been approved by the Mavor and was consequently not legal. In order to decide whether I must pay the money the court must decide on the legality of the proceeding. If decided in the affirmative I will appeal to the Supreme Court at once. If in the negative the other fellow will. I have no doubt as to the outcome when the higher judiciary gets to work on the ques tion. This will require time, of course, but I expect to make it somewhat interesting in the meantime. The Ordinance 'Will nave Good Effect. A general ordinance applying to street railway companies which was" approved by the Committee on Corporations yesterday will have an excellent effect if it becomes operative. It was introduced by Mr. "Warmcastle, and requires that in putting down new tracks or in repairing those al ready down the railway -companies must re pave the street between their rails and one loot on the outside with new block stone. Failure on the part of the com panies to comply with this rule within a reasonable time will necessitate the De partment of Public "Works doing the work and charging the cost to the respective com pany, to be collected by Z legal process. Several companies have of late been putting lines on streets paved with cobble stone, and as their ordinances do not require block stone paving they could not be compelled to improve the streets over which they secured valuable privileges without new legislation. 'eir Street Car Privileges. Among the other business transacted by the committee was an -,lt jv, ..- 1 "Comnauv. aUow-6 ! Second Avenue Traction Comnauv. allow ing permission to extend its tracks from the present terminus at Hazelwood to the city line. It was favorahlv recommended, but an amendment was added by Mr. Mc Gunnegle. providing that the company pave the street between the tracks and one foot outside with block stone, and also that the work be commenced within one year. The ordinance of the'.Central Transit Com pany, part of the PittsburgTraction system, providing lor a loop connecting the Fifth avenue and the Duquesne lines, was also faorably considered. It provides for a line beginning it Howe and South Highland avenues, whence along the latter to Fifth avenue, thence to Denmston avenue and back to Howe street The ordinance of the Penn Street Rail way Company, providing for a line on Frankstown avenue and giving the Citizens' Traction Company a branch to "Wilkins burg, was affirmatively recommended. The line begins at the intersection of Fifth ave nue and continues along Frankstown ave nue to the city line, returning the same wav. The Pittsburg and Connellsvillc Railroad was granted the right to lay a switch on Greenaugh street toeonnect the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad witli Lloyd's rolling mill Mr. "Warmcastle added an amend ment, allowing the Pennsylvania Railroad the use of trie switch on payment of one half the cost of construction and mainte nance. Tl.e license was fixed at J75 a year. Kew Inclines for the Soothsldo. There were three ordinances asking the right of way for inclines from South Twenty-first street toMt Oliver, and all on about the same survey lines. Thev were the Park Incline Plane Company, 'the H. S. McKee Incline Company and the Mt Oliver Incline Railway Company. They were all referred to a sub-committee. The Morning6ide and Highland Park Street Railway Company's ordinance was also referred to a sub-committee to lookinto the necessity of 3 road over the given terri tory. In court vesterday all exceptions were dismissed and reportsof the Board of View ers under the new street act were eonfirmed absolutely on the assessments for the cost of eight sewers.

SUBPOENAS OK THS SOTJfHSIDE. Excitement Caused by a Report That Depu ties Were Wanted. Rumor had it on the Southside last even ing that subpoenas were being issued by Al derman Succop, and that many persons would be required to serve as deputies at Homestead. Late in the evening, when the report had gained circulation, it was the general subject of conversation. Little knots of men were collected on the cor ners earnestly discussing the matter and expressing themselves in decidedly emphatic language. From the general tone of the sentiment expressed such a move would De met with resistance, many claiming they would serve a term before serving as dep uties against their fellows at Homestead. Alderman Succop was seen, and on the subject being mentioned said: "If men are being subpecnaed on the Southside I know nothing of it. But I think I can tell youhow that report gained circulation. This is the last day notices can be served on delinquent taxpayers and all the constables on this side have been busy making them out. This has been noticed and gave color to such a rumor. To judge from the general opinions heard I think the Southiide the wrong place to come for deputie", as the people here are nearly all in sympathy with the strikers. " BRAVE LITTLE LIZZIE A Child In Allegheny Makes Barglars Drop Their Plnndrr. Last Sunday evening about 9 o'clock two men, wearing masks, effected an entrance into the house of Samuel Marshall, on "Willis street, Nunnery Hill. They secured from a bureau drawer a watcb, several pieces of jewelry and a little money. In the house at the time was a 12-year-old daughter, Elizabeth. and "four young children. The children were asleep, the father and mother and one of the children being at church. Elizabeth heard the noise of the men at the kitchen and ran quietly upstairs, where she found her father's revolver. "When she came down the two men were in the dining room. She bravely ordered them to drop the plun der and told them to leave the house or she would shoot them. The men laid the jewelry on a table and ran from the house. DEUMMEES HATE AN OUTING.

Tels. 1264 and AFTER FIVE TEARS KickToiins Beceives His Card With a Bequest for Information. jCONGRESS ASKED TO RESTORE The rtssapatnnzj Church, Destroyed Ij Federal Troops in 1863. INTEEESTINQ'tALE OF'THE LATE WAR A reminder of war times with a very in teresting story in connection comes from a little hamlet in Virginia, where the Metho dist congregation of that place is in need of a new building,-and an appeal will be made to Congress for assistance. All sorts of claims arc made on the national lawmakers, but this is probably the first time they have been asked to build it house of worship. Five years ago Nick Young, the ex-detective and former proprietor of the old St Nicholas Hotel, had a yearning to visit some of the battle fields in the South in which his regiment participated. He was a member of the One Hundred and Seventh Pennsylvania Volunteers. In the course of his rambles he found himself in Common, King George county, Va. He became very friendly with the landlord of the little hotel in the town, and when he came away he left his card with the name of his regi ment on it In Possapatanzy, nearby, was a small Methodist church that was used as a hos pital during the Rebellion. A number of Pennsylvania men were nursed back to life in the "White Oak Church, as it was called. Smallpox Hospital In a Church. In 1863 a smallpox scourge broke out among the troops, and the church was then turned into a pest house. At the close of the war the commanding officer orderedthe building to be burned, and the victorious armv marched back to the North, leaving the Methodists of Passapatanzy impover ished and without a place of worship. The burned building was strong and substantial, and the cynosure of the country folks. In its stead a flimsv structure was reared, and until recently the poor people have used it as their church. This temporary building is now on its last lees, having weathered the storms for 30 years, and the town authorities have condemned it Once more the Methodist flook is without a church, and the aged men who remember the White Oak property sigh for the good old days be fore tbe war. The people are too poor to pay for a new building, and at last it was suggested that as the church was burned by Federal troops that possibly Congress would replace it. An appeal will be made to the House, but the next point was to gain information. Nobody remembered the names of the of ficers in command of the hospital or the regiments that camped in the neighborhood. In this emergencv the landlord of the hotel fished out Nick Young's card from his col lection, and the ex-detective was surprised the other day to receive a letter from E. F. "Whitehouse, of Common. Congress Is to Be Convinced. The writer inclosed Mr. Young's card, and explained that the congregation was in need of a church which they intend to ask Congress to build and they were in search of informa tion. He wanted the names of the'officers and regiments. Mr. "Whitehouse stated that he was not a Southerner. He emigrated from Maine 16 years ago, and has been liv ingin Common since. He said he thought it would only be fair for the Government to rebuild the church, and, as a Northern man willing to do a neighborly act and help his fellows in the South, he would preset a pe tition to Congress. Mr. Young decided to answer the letter through The Dispatch. The One Hun dred and Seveuth Eetriment. Pennsylvania Volunteers, used the church as a smallpox hospital in March, 1863. The surgeon was Dr. Daniel, now of Morrisville, Pa. General F. F. McCoy, of Lewistown, was Colonel of the regiment at the time and Major F. B. Thomas, now of "Wanamaker's store, Philadelphia, was the adjutant Major Schafer, of Harrisburg, was another officer. These men are living, and Mr. Young says he has no doubt thev will give the Passapatanzy Methodists ali the infor mation they need to convince Congress that the church was burned by Federal troops. Mr. Young will add his testimony if neces sary. Nick'is glad thathis card has proven ot so much service to the Virginians. Kcarns Has an Opponent Politics is waxing rather warm in the Fourth Legislative, district of Pittsburg, that .being the only Democratic district in Allegheny county.

The Federal street depot of the Pennsyl vania Company, in Allegheny, suffered severely by fire yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock. Two large cables of telegraph wires and several electrio light wires enter the attic of the building near the southwest corner. The fire was caused by electricity, the insulating material having been worn off,,and the current setting fire to the wood work where the wires entered. The attic is divided into half a dozen rooms, which are Idw and small. Some of them are used for the storing ot old docu ments, another is an operating room, and in another a great deal of valuable telegraphio apparatus was stored. It was in this room that tbe fire originated. Two operators who were in an adjoining room were warned by the smoke, and they discovered the wall and part of.the roof on fire. They hurried down stairs andounded the alarm, and the fire bureau soon responded. When the firemen reached the scene heavy smoke was pouring out of all the attic windows and from under tie eaves of the roof. Several men of Noj 6 company ascended the crooked and narrow stairs with a Babcock extinguisher, but the attic was so full of smoke that they could not reach the fire, fwhich was in the room farthest from the ,'stairs. They made their way to the Federal street win dows for air, but even there ' they were al most suffocated before a ladder was run up to them. 1 Truck A lifted a large extension ladder. It was very slow work, and when it was up it was not used. The fire as a very hard one to get at, and the firemen were finally compelled to get to the roof and cut a large hole right over the fire. Through this two lines of hose were run, anl the attic was flooded. After the fire was", reached it was soon extinguished. v I The chief loss is in telegraphic instru ments. About two dozen of them were ruined, and other valuable apparatus was snniled. including tjthlps. swilanh hoards. batxiyetc?' Tho-toial Ivss'triH itach nearly ?5,000. The ceilings of the offices on the second floor were penetrated and ruined by water. The clerks threw some of their books out of the windows. The loss is fully insured. The, Manchester cars were stopped for about bn hour, and the railroad trams were blocked for almost as long as the hose was laid across 'the tracks. During the excite ment a man in the depot was robbed of his pockctbook, containing about $50. Mourning Millinery.
