mander in Chief has been sounded, which, provides for 17 guns, l'reparlne for tho Governor. Considerable difficulty was experience yesterday in setting the quarters ready for the Governor and his staff. No lumber conld be found, and after it had been or dered from Pittsburg there was an annoying delay in its shipment. A detail from each regiment had been made to construct the quarters, bnt all had been dismissed and sent to their regiments before the lumber arrived. After the arrival of the lumber, however, a new detail was secured, and the quarters were built under double quick orders. It is be lieved In camp that the Governor contem plates staying with the soldiers for several days at least as quarters would not have been constructed had he intended coming only to review the troops. Upon the Gov ernor's inspection of the troops it is be lieved every available soldier in camp will be turned out for the grand review, and already the privates and the officers are brushing up in contemplation of the official inspection which will likely be made to morrow. It is not yet known whether the Governor will stop at Swiss vale and visit the provis ional brigade headquarters before going to Homestead, or whether he will go to his quarters on the Homestead side of the river and have the provisional brigade come to him for inspection only. Colonel Hawkins, who is in command of the provisional brigade, is ready for the Governor whenever he comeB and as the Governor and the Colonel are warm personal friends it is not likely that they will have much of a struggle in getting together, whether the Governor goes to provisional brigade headquarters or the provisional brigade headquarters go to the Governor. They March 1.1k b Ysterans. The Sixteenth Regiment will this after noon appear for inspection drill, and, of course, the best foot of every member will be put forward for the occasion. The Six teenth is in command ofj Colonel Hulings, and it is, to say the least, a magnificent body of soldiers. Yesterday when Colonel Hulings and his command marched out to the parade ground. Major General Snowden and Brigadier General Wiley were standing together watching the movements. 'Where did the Sixteenth get that swing ing step," General Snowden asked of Gen eral Wiley. "They march lite veterans," he continued. "I commanded that regiment myself for ten years," General Wiley responded, "and they have suffered none under the direc tion"! of their present Colonel." "They seem to be perfect," General Snowden said as the two officers moved off to the parade ground. The Sixteenth in regimental drill last night followed exclusively the nfcw tactics and they are well up in the improved sys tem. But after all the Sixteenth Regiment is not the best military organization in the en campment It is, however, admittedly as good as any of the others. There ' is, however, an accidental regiment there that now stands in the front rank of the citizen soldiers. It is the Thirteenth Regiment of which Colonel Ripple is Commander. The regiment is from Scranton. It grew out of the labor tronbles in that place in 1877. There was no military organization there at that time and many of those who now com pose Colonel Ripple's regiment had formed themselves together to fight the riotious strikers who possessed the place until the State militia was moved there from the scene of the Pittsburg riots. The militarv did not fire a shot alter arrivinc at Scranton, bnt a number of people had been killed before the soldiers had got there. The mob had formed there in the streets and were mak ing incendiary threats against the property ot Colonel Scranton. a large coal and rail road operator. At the time the people were abandoning the town, " but Colonel Scranton's clerks formed in a bodv in the coal comrjanv's store. Thpirm-imfiArl down the street to the mob, and ordered that the street be cleared. "We will shoot if this mob does not disperse," their com mander shouted. They Phot to Kill. The mob uttered more violent threats, and the clerks, about 80 in number, fired into the unrnlv crowd. A dozen or more people were killed on their first and only charge. The mob scattered, but the cour ageous clerks remained firm and out of their effort on that occasion the Thirteenth Regiment grew. They have not induleed in an active engagement since then. The regiment is composed of 4G'J men and offi cers and every single man in the organiza tion is a qualified marksman, a distinction not generally enoyed among the regiments. Just now there is considerable discussion being indulged in bv the friends of the Fourteenth and Eighteenth Regiments, both of Allegheny county Both regiments have many friends in Pittsburg, but only five companies of the Fourteenth are located here, while the entire Eighteenth is made up of soldiers from this city. The feeling between the two commands prompts many rash assertions. The Adjutant General's record of the five Pittsburg companies is decidedly gratifying to Colonel Perch ment Sums Significant Fljruren. At the spring inspection of A Company, Fourteenth Regiment, the percentage of at tendance was 100 and the efficiency was 58. The average attendance of B Company was 90.5 and the efficiency 37.5. E Company's percentage of attendance was 96.6 and the efficiency 55. F Company's percentage of attendance was 88.9 and the efficiency 46.7, and G Companr showed a percentage "of at tendance of G&5, with an efficiency of 36. This is accepted as an enviable record, and is much higher than manv other regiments throuchout the State. Early on Sunday morning 20,000 rounds of ammunition were distributed to each of the brigades at the camp, which gives to the entire command 160.000 rounds. lesteraay Assistant Surgeon W. a Grim, of the Tenth Regiment, was appointed the first medical officer of the day. Dr. Grim is but a boy, but he is thought ' by the girls to be the handsomest officer in the encamp ment The provost guard in Homestead was doubled yesterday, and two regiments, the Fourth and the Twelfth, are on dutv through the streets of the town. Two regiments will also be on duty through the town to-day. The cavalry companies have been having a chance to do picket duty. For the past three nights squads under the command of an officer of one of the troops have been patrolling the river and the countrv roads leading into Homestead. There is no par ticular purpose in this movement but the giving to the boys experience in this line'of duty. Heretofore thev have not done any thing in this line. The boys of the city troop seem to be cultivating a "tough" appearance, and it may be said they are succeeding with a vengeance. A visitor to the camp at the time the boys arrived would not be able to recognize the faces he saw then, now grown over with straggling beards. It seems to be part of the regular routine duty to pick up a looking glass and admire the fast growintr hirsute. The boys hate a razor as they do a snake. A DESERTER'S CRIME. Corporal Irf.tor Makes a IJrntal Assault on Captain Calhoun He Uses Hl Bayonet as a Weapon The Injured Man !Tr Stabbrd Three Times, bat Still Lives Lester Is Now in Cnntral Statfnn. Captain Frank Calhoun, while standing in front of Devore's undertaking establish ment on Grant street yesterday morning, was stabbed three times with a bayonet by Corporal David Lester, of Company A, Fourteenth Infantry. Two of the stabs'are in the right breast and the other in the ab domen. The man's condition is considered very serious, but it will take 24 hours time to decide whether the wounds will prove fatal Corporal David Lester and Private How ard Hook, members of Company A, Four teenth Regiment, slipped the guards at Homestead, Sunday evening. They came into the city, they spent the night drinking and wandering the streets and at one time visited Hook's home on Cherry alley. They found themselves on Grant street atfout 9 o'clock in the morning in possession of a tool box belonging to Booth & Fliun. A n Eye Witness' Storr. It was after 9 o'clock yesterday morning when they were again seen on Grant street. Charles F. Kesel. a baker in the employ of Fred Kleppick, 510 Grant street, tells the story of the stabbing as witnessed by him from the door of his employer's sbop: "I cannot say what the hour was, but think it was just after 9 o'clock, I saw coming up Grant stieet two soldiers and a civilian, one ot the soldiers was a corporal. They went into the undertaking establish ment of Louis Beinhauer and interfered with him and a lady who was talking to him. He ordered them out, when they started to abuse a dog in his reception room. He again ordered them out, and, as they refused to go, he went to his telephone to call for the police, when they left and went across the street to tne same tool box where they had bivouacked the mgnt pre vious. Ho rractloed on a Box. "The corporal pulled out his bayonet and stnck.it in the box several times in a vicious manner. Then he replaced it in its scabbard and they again crossed the street to Mr. Beinhauer's. The undertaker came out with a pen in his hand, saying, 'I will have you people arrested,' and started toward Fifth avenue. He passed Devore's with the soldiers following him, and they roughly jostled Frank Calhoun, who was standing in Devore's door. He told them not to be fools and get away from their door or they would be arrested. The soldiers turned around, saying, with a string of oaths, 'It is none ot'your business.' Calhoun gave the Corporal a friendly shove and again told him to go away or they would be ar rested. The Corporal grabbed him by the nccsr, torced him into tue hallway through an open door and pulled out his bayonet. With a string of horrible oaths Lester cried: 'I will give you this, and made three wicked lunges at Calhoun. Lester made another attempt to plunge the bayonet into Calhoun, who was trying to get away, grabbed the bayonet and shopped him. Just then Officer" John McClurey appeared and arrested Lester. The other soldier or the civilian bad gone." How the Injured Man Is Captain Calhoun has rooms over Devore's establishment He is 54 years of age and has a family. Before the "war he was en gaged with Colonel Samuel Rodgers, an Allegheny undertaker, and he married Mr. Rodgers' daughter. At the breaking out of the Civil War, Mr. Calhoun enlisted in the service and by his bravery won the title of Captain. When he returned from the war he engaged with W. H. Devore and has ever since been his manager. He is at present Commander of Post 157, G. A R. Lester's home is on Mt Washington. He is 26 years old and a wire worker. Captain Schmidt, of Company A, arrived a few minutes after the stabbing with a I squad to take supplies to Homestead. He neara oi tne anrav ana visited central sta tion, and said: "The men were absent without leave, not having been pres ent at the roll call last evening or this morning. . They were de serters, even thoucn they "did intend to return. There might hare been some degree of responsibility attached to us if they had been on leave, but we cannot be blamed. The men are in trouble through their own fault. Lester is a man wh gets crazy when under ii influence of liquor." NO MEN AT WORK At Ihs Carneela Mills at Beaver Falls The Men Bather Dispirited, But Still Firm In Their Determination Hatching the TVorlM Very Closely. When the time came for opening the mills of the Carnegie Company at Beaver Falls yesterday morning not a single man applied for work. The mills are deserted save by the watchmen, six in number. The picket fence which surrounds the works has been re paired. The plant covers some 30 acres of ground. On Sunday, Superintendent Wrigley said that the mills were in readiness tor operation in the morning at the usual time, but nothing was done inside the high fence yesterday. He said that in case the men did not return to work he would close down everything and await' further orders, and when they do start they will start a3 non-union. it is said that there was a movement on floor among the leading citizens and busi ness men of the town to request the com pany to grant a further extension of the time set for restarting operations, but this movement was abandoned. The worst feature of the strike is that the men have not the sympathy ot the cummunity, and storekeepers do not hesitate to say in a quiet way that in case credit is asked by the strikers it will be refused. Another "feat ure is that as a rule much of the work per formed is of such a nature that green hands can soon become skillful in a very short time. This was fully demonstrated some years ago when a strike occurred at these same mills. Green hands in the wire de partment were taken in and in a few short weeks became expert workmen. The same can be said of the other departments; in fact a large number of the workmen who now refuse to go to work are the men who at that time were taken in as green hands. There is a wide feeling of dissatisfaction among the rank and file. Many of them, quietly among themselves and friends, do not hesi tate to say they believe that if the thing were put to a vote it would have been de feated by a large majority. Some of the workers claim that the peo ple do not understand their side of the situ ation. They claim they have broken no contract by" not returning to work this morning. Said Mr. Thornton, Chairnran of the Press Committee, yesterday: "We claim that by not returning to work this morning we have broken no contract The scale signed by the firm some days ago was simply the hours of labor, the price per toh and other specifications, but specified no time foi us to return to work, consequently by not resuming work this morning we broke no contract." No violence is anticipated, vet a close watch is being kept by the Vigilant Com mittee to see who enters or leaves the grounds. Yesterday morning notices were posted warning all persons off the com pany's grounds excepting those having legitimate business with the firm. The Marginal Railroad, which is the property of the Pennsylvania Company, runs through the grounds, and also several of thecitv streets, and the men say they will go along these avenues as muchas they please and the Carnegie Company cannot prevent it THE HOMESTEAD COMMITTEE TO MEET. Xotlaintrof Importunes Expected to Res alt From 1 o-D j' Session, Though. Washington, July la The special committee appointed to investigate the Homestead labor troubles, of which Mr. Oates is Chairman, will probably have a formal meeting to-morrow, but it is ex pected that nothing will be done at the meeting. The adjournment of Congress is a factor in the proceedings of the committee. Mr. Oates says that if Congress should continue in session next week he would summon the Pinkertons before the com mittee and close out the investigation by interrogating them on the workings of their system. If, however, a very speedy adjournment be likely, Mr. Oates will make a report on the testimony as thus far taken. Mr. Oates has made a draft of a bill THE PITTSBURG' DISPATCH, TUESDAY. which he will introduce on the subject of the Pinkerton system. He will notlpress its consideration, however, until the Pink ertons are heard, as he does not intend to take snap judgment on them and act on ad vance of a hearing of all,interested parties. In the House, to-day. Representative Broderick, of Kansas, a member of the Judicfary Committee investigating the Pinkerton system, introduced for reference a bill to prohibit the transportation from one State to another of a private or volun tary police force or body of armed men not belonging to the military or naval service of the United States or to the militia of any State or territorv. TEE MECHANICS WILL STICK? Beialt of Testerday Morning's Conference 'With Superintendent Potter. The special secret meeting of the men formerly employed in the mechanical de partment and. the old day laborers was held in the Homestead Opera House yesterday afternoon. The main object of the meeting was to hear and pass on the report of the Special Committee appointed at Sunday's meeting to interview Superintendent Pot ter. Chairman Adam Lamb, of the Special Committee read his report. The gist ot the report was to the effect that the committee had .waited on Mr. Potter at the mills early in the morning and bad told him that the mechauics and laborers desired to retain their neutral position. They had heard the boasts of the campany of its ability to exterminate the Amalgamated Association, and the Asso ciation's boast that it would whip the company. Mr. Potter was informed that under the existing circumstances the mechanics and laborers had decided that it would be unjust to the Amalgamated Association to return to work and by so doing put the mills in order for non-union men. Knowing all these things the committee, speaking for their comrades, had resolved not to return to work and passively await the result of the struggle between the Amalgamated Asso ciation and the company. This report was read and adopted. It was also decided to hire a special head quarters fr the mechanics and laborers and a committee was appointed to hnnt up suit able rooms. Another committee was appointed whose dutv it will be to provide for all mechanics and laborors who are in need of financial assistance. Then on motion the meeting adjourned. It is an acknowl edged fact that this relief fund is to be pro vided by the Advisory Committee. HON-TJNIOrf SYMPATHY For the Men at Homestead Displayed by Johnstown Workers. "Much excitement was caused among the workmen of the Cambria Iron Mills here to day by a report that the 4x4 billets which they are now making were to be shipped to fill an order of the Homestead works," said a special telegram from Johnstown to The Dispatch last night "Gen eral Manager Price was asked as to the truth of the matter, when he re plied: 'We have nothing to do with Home stead.' Notwithstanding this denial, many of the men think an order is now being filled here for the Homestead mills. No union men are allowed here, but the sympa thy of the workmen is all with the Home stead men." Lack of Railroad Accommodations. The railroads seem slow in grasping the fact that the crowds visiting Homestead re quire more accommodations than when everything is quiet there. It is a rare event if the aisles of the cars are not crowded with people. One woman got on a train with five children yesterday and had to arrange herself in a space usually occupied bv one person. This is only one of many similar cases. PEEPAEING TO AID 8TBIZEE8. St. Louis Labor Organization Provide for lvylnc Assessments. St. Louis, July 18.

Hughes & Patterson's iron works, after a lockout since July 1 of the Amalgamated Iron and Steel Workers, who had been its employes, re sumed work this morning in one of the two mills which it operates with a score of hands, constituting about 4 per cent of all the men employed when the plant is in full operation. Throughout the day thfre was not the slightest indication of trouble or violence on the part of the locked-out mechanics. THE PEKKYSVILLE ASSAULT. Additional Information Made Against Trlsonera Thompson and Glldernew. The police of Allegheny have not yet caught the two men who escaped (after as saulting Dairyman Lntzinger, Joseph Blutner and Charles Nagle on Perrysville avenue Sunday afternoon. Harry Thomp son, a laDorer of the East End, and James Gildernew, a bricklayer of Steep street, were charged with disorderly conduce when arrested. Yesterday the three victims appeared be fore Mayor Kennedy and made informa tion charging Thompson and Gildernew and two others unknown with assault and battery and robbery. Blumer's head was bandaged and one of his eyes was entirely closed. The other men were not badly beaten. The prisoners are both about 20 years of age. The police are sanguine of catching the other two men. There will be a hearing this morning. THE DECISION BESEBVED. One Witness Appeared Against Home, the X.aw and Order Detective. Harry Home, the Law and Order detec tive, was given a hearing before Alderman Kerr yesterday morning, on a charge of performing worldly employment on Sunday. Mr. Kerr was very reticent about the case, refusing to give the name of the prosecutor. Only one witness was called, Frank Clinton, who testified that on five different Sundays be had been with Home while he was at work, the witness himself at the time being in the employ of Agent McClure. Alderman Kerr's position can probably be explained by the fact that the Court yes terday upheld Alderman Bone's decision on several different appeals. Alderman Kerr withheld his decision until to-day. Their Dull Season. Commercial Agent Hall, of the Bock Isl and road, was asked yesterday how the la bor troubles are affecting the railroad busi ness. He replied that it was difficult to tell. This is the dull season, when the glass houses and most of the iron mills are shut down, and the lines don't expect much traf fic out of the territory.

Auditor rigger's Final Report on tho Con troller's Books. THEY SHOULD BE KEPT DOUBLE ENTEI The ordinance creating the offices of five police magistrates for the city of Allegheny was last evening approved at a meeting of the Finance Committee and ordered printed for the use of Councils. Those bodies will meet on Thursday evening, and it now seems likely that the ordinance will pass in its present shape, and if it does it will be signed by Mayor Kennedy. There is already much speculation among the politicians of Allegheny as to the mau who will be appointed by the Mayor as Magistrate for the First district This official will have all the work to do in hold ing Police Court, and his salary will be $1,500 a year. His appointment must be confirmed by Councils. There has been a general expectation that the Mayor would appoint one of the alder men oi Allegheny, and the name of Alder man Neillie, of the Fourth ward, Mayor Kennedy's own ward, has been most often mentioned in this connection. It tran spires, however, that the Mayor desires to appoint one of the members of Councils.and this member is said to be Common Council man Charles V. Lewis, of the Fifth ward. Mr. Lewis has been a member of Alle gheny Councils for several terms, and has been one of the most active members of the lower body. He has been noted for his regular attendance upon Council and com mittee meetings. An Opinion From the Solicitor. A few days ago the Mayor asked City Solicitor Elphinstone to look up the law and give him an opinion, as to whether a member of Councils could be appointed Police Magistrate. There is considerable doubt on this, it being held by some that a Councilman is ineligible to any office cre ated by the body of which he is a member. The City Solicitor has made up his opinion and will hand it to the Mayor to-day. Mr. Elphinstone, in advance ot its delivery, de clined yesterday to give any idea as to the nature of his opinion. From another source the hint was given that the solicitor has come to the conclusion that a Councilman is eligible to the office, basing his opiniou largely on tho fact that the office in question will not be the creation of Councils, but the creation ot the State Legislature, Councils simply putting into effect the provisions of a general statute on that subject If the decision be of this nature, and the ordinance pass Councils, Mr. Lewis will be appointed. If the deci sion be adverse the appointment will prob- uDiy go to Alderman jucrkeivey, ot the Sec ond ward. The four other magistrates will be the aldermen in the Tenth. Eleventh, Twelfth and Fourteenth wards. Their offices will be only honorary. Alter the Finance Committee had dis posed of the magistrate ordinance, a motion was adopted authorizing the City Solicitor to employ a clerk for the term of three months, at not more than ?75 a vear. Dr. Gilhford objected, claiming that "the only wav to authorize such an expense was by ordinance or resolution of Councils, but he was outvoted. However, the Solicitor promised to have an ordinance prepared, at the earliest day possible, authorizing the employment of a clerk. The need ot such help was unanimously admitted, as the So licitor is far behind on routine work. Report on Controller Brown. The Auditing Committee failed again last evening to get a quorum, and will try to meet at 7 o'clock Thursday evening. Sev eral members are sick or absent from the city, but others seem to be trying to prevent a meeting. Auditor Bigger's report on the final ex amination of the books of Controller Brown was made public, and is as follows: Your auditors wonld respectfully report that we have finished the examination of the voucheis for all warrants countersigned and legistered by the Controller, begin ning June 11, 18S6, and ending 1891, and havo found all expenditures satisfactorily authorized and accounted tor wicn tue exceptions or a tew small clerical errors amounting in all to about $2S0, which hus been paid by the city, more than was properly due. We believe that all of the parties interested will come forward and correct their errors when noti fied.

In the judgment of your auditors prompt measures should be taken to dispose of all these old matters. Faulty Style or Bookkeeping. In relation to the general manner of keep ing the books In the Controller's office, we have already indicated In a previous report that they have not been kept In regular double entry form, and it is consequently imposible to balance them. We think they should be kept in double entry form, and In such a way that a trial balance or copy of all the ledger balances would show the exact condition of the businosof tho city at any time. This cannot be done the way the ac counts are now kept The statement of amounts due from col lectors of taxes is as follows: Araonnt Tear. Collector.

The oft-postponed simmer night concert, which was to have taken place at Silver Lake Grove last night, was 'permanently called oft just as a constable, with a writ of attachment for the receipts, entered the grove. There is not likely to be anotherat tempt this season. The manager, C V. Gates, has made three previous efforts to give classical performances at the Hotel Kenmawr. Twice, out of consideration for a sick lady at the hotel, the show was post poned. The third time it was prohibited by the hotel proprietor for other reasons. Owing to the repeated postponements there were not 150 people on nana when the time came to begin last night It was said that Mr. Gates had learned of the con stable's approach, but it is more likely that, as he stated to the audience, there was too small an attendance to justify a perform ance, but he stepped out on the stage and in a manly, straightforward speech informed his hearers there would be no concert. As there was no performance the constable could not force his writ of attachment, and ne departed iroin the grove a sadder if not, wiser man. Air. Gates' andience sympa thized with and applauded him at the' close of his speech. The writ of attachment was Issued by a downtown Alderman on the oath of Prof. Brockett, the claim being for ?300. The exact cause of the action could not be learned, but it was understood it was an old claim for professional services rendered. A NEWSY WITH NEEVE, He Doesn't Hind Such Slight Things as Bullet Wounds. Andrew Cool, a 12-year-old newsboy, walked into the Mercy Hospital last even ing ank asked to have a splinter taken out of his leg. On examination it was found that a piece of wood a couple of inches long was imbedded in the inside of his right thigh. It had been there some days, and the wound havingTestered, made the injury a serious one. The boy said he had been rolling a hoop, and falling his stick was run into bis leg and broke off. As they were undress ing the boy to attend to him the physicians noticed another wound in the same place on his left leg. "Oh, that's nothing," said the boy, with a contemptuous look when questioned about it "I shot myself there on the Fourth of July, but that don't count" It transpired that he had shot himself in the leg and the bullet was cut out by Police Surgeon Moyer. From lack of attention, however, the wound was in a bad condition. From both wounds the boy's condition is serious, but he will recover. Prospects for Harvest -Excursions. John E. Pott, of "Williamsport, travel ing passenger agent of the Chicago, Mil waukee and St Paul road, put up at the Mononsahela House yesterday. He is hustling in connection with the harvest excursions which leave for the west August 30 and September 27. These excursions are annual affairs on his line. Mr. Pott thinks iudgiug irom inquiries that thev will be largely patronized this year. The Mil waukee road is the only one in the west that employes a land and industrial com mission to look after settlers. Caught Bobbing Berrlgeratori. Detectives Bobinson and Demmel arrest ed three boys yesterday who have of late been doing considerable stealing from houses on Second and Third avenues. The ice boxe's of the people in this neighborhood have been visited very frequently, and quantities of beer and eatables stolen. Yesterday morning the two officers watched and caught Frank Steel, Michael Flaherty and James Hennessy in the act ot robbing the ice box at 39 Second avenue. The trio were locked up in the Central station, and infor mations will be made against them. Horace Lcwln In Monte Crista. An excellent rendition of "Monte Cristo," that deeply dramatic play, is to be seen at Harris' Theater this week. Horace Lewis, who has been here before in the leading role, has few superiors as Udmond Eanta, and he is ably supported by Fanny Harold as Mercedes and Georga A. D. Johnstone as Kolrtler. Several others in the cast are abovo the average, and the scenery is quite good. If yon have children you will be inter ested in the experience of Mr. John Cook, of Pilot, "Vermilion county, 111. He says: "Two years ago two of my family, a young man and a girl, had very severe and danger ous attacks of bloody flux. The doctor here was unable, after a week's time, to check or relieve either case. I threw the doctor overboard and began using Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Bemedy. Im provement was seen very soon and my chil dren arose in a few days from what I feared would be their death-bed. If is a grand, good medicine." Tuwxhsu Excursion TIa the Picturesque B. & O. K. R.

Strong" Men Prevent Ills Attempted elf; Destruction. iFTBE TWO ATTEMPTS HE IS lOfHED TIP A Pleasant Valley electric car ran over- and instantly killed a little 5-year-old boy on Dnque&ne way yesterday afternoon. Three hours later his father, John McKib ben, crazed at the sight of the mangled re mains, made two desperate attempts at sui cide by throwing himself sin. front' of a Wylie avenue car. "They've got the town by the throat! They've killed my boy, and they may as well kill us all and be done with it!" screamed the unfortunate father, as he threw himself across the rails, and it was only by the efforts of several strong men that he was saved from the fate of his baby. McKibben lives in Pusey's court; in rear of the Home Hotel. He has a" son of about 15 and, until yesterday's accident, a bright little boy of about 3 years. The child- got away from his mother, who was engaged with her home duties, shortly after 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. He wandered oat on Duquesne way, and as an ice wagon started from in front of theome Hotel the little one climbed on the rear step for a ride. The Child Instantly Killed. The wagon had only gone ten feet when a Pleasant Valley car came down the gradt at-ahigh speed ringing loudly for the wagon to clear the way. The child, confnsed by the sonnd, jumped from the step right into the middle of the track. The car was upon it in a twinkling. There was a flutter of skirts and a smothered cry. Then the car stopped. Just behind it there lay the mangled and bloody corpse ot a mother's darling, a father's pet Tender hands carried the little body into the Home Hotel, and a doctor soon arrived, but he was not needed. The little soul had gone beyond. The morgue wagon came and the body was taken to that gruesome place on Sixth avenue. At 6 o'clock McKibben came home from a day's hard work. When informed of the fate of his baby he rushed up to the morgue where he was permitted to gaze on the crushed remains. The sight of them seemed to madden him. He broke into tears at first, but soon ceased crying and with stolid face walked to the front door of the build ing. He stood there for a moment when, hearing the sound of an approaching car.he deliberately walked out and giving vent to the expression quoted above he threw him self across the track of the Central Traction line. Determined to Die on the Track. A young man at the morgue and two other men ran out quickly and dragged him away just as the cable car came along, but it was all they could do to hold him. Af ter the car passed McKibben promised notto repeat the attempt and walked away. But when the next car came along he again ran out on the track and started toward the car. The gripman, however, divined his intention and stopped the car just before it reached him. Sergeant Bob Gray, who happened to be on the car, arrested the frenzied father to save him from self-destruction and sent him to Central station. He wept and moaned, calling for his babv after he was locked up, but it was deemed best to keep him con fined for the night. Dr. Moyer adminis tered opiates, which had little effect until after midnight, when McKibben fell into a slumber. It is hoped he will have recov ered'his senses by this morning. Coroner 3IcDowell will hold an 'inquest in the case this morning. As McKibben is very poor tho funeral of the little one will take place from the morgue. To the Public. . I have no hesitancy in recommending Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and 'Diarrhoea Bemedy to the public, as I do to my friends and patrons. I used it myself after other well-known remedies had failed, and it cured me in a few minutes. I recommend it candidly and cheerfully upon -iti merits, not from a financial standpoint, because I have others in stock on which I. make a larger profit, but because Chamberlain's is the best remedy I know of for bowel com plaints. There is no doubt about it, it does, the work. JamkS Fokgt, Druggist, Tuwxhsu McVeytown, .Pa, Buoine kills roaches, bedbugs and all insects instantly. Is non-poisonous. 15 cents.
