JULY 23, 189a of the Advisory Committee and a promnent leader of the men, received an unsigned letter which was dated from Pittsbnrg, and uhich told him, among other things, that a warrant had been issued for his arrest, and that it would be served in the morning. INSPECTING THE TROOPS. Governor Pattison nnd nil Staff Continue Their Work at Camp Sam Black Some thine About the Eighth Keclmenl General Gobln'l Unpleasant Fredlca inenf. Governor Pattison continued his earnest work at Camp Sam Black yesterday The three regiments and Battery C, of the Pro visional brigade, were inspected by the Commander in Chief dnring the morning and in the afternoon the cook tents and quarters of that brigade were inspected and thoroughly investigated. This work consumed most of the afternoon, and the sun was throwing long shadows when the Governor and his, party returned to their quarters on the Homestead side of the river. All were weary with their day's work. The Governor was the only one of the party who was not in uniform and he was the only one who did not look thoroughly exhausted when they concluded their day's work. The Governor wore a light-weight sack coat,alowcut vest, a light-colored pair of pantaloons and a large, soft white hat. The hot sun of the camp seems to have burned him darker even than his natural complexion. The tan" in their guard uniforms stretched them selves out for a rest immediately after they returned to their quarters, but there was no rest for the Governor even though he had need of it Awaited by a I'e'eiratlon. A delegation of Homestead workingmen awaited his return, and they remained in conference with him until long after snpper time. The Governor retused to discuss the subject of his conference with the work men. The workingmen would not say anv thing of their talk with the Governor. It was supposed, however, that they were ad vocating the withdrawal of the military. The Governor also refused to say anything about the withdrawal of the militia. He said he had been inquiring closely into the conditions as they exist at Homestead, but he refused to say what he had found or what conclusions he had reached. The Governor and his party will likely finish their work at Camp Sam Black to day and to-night they will probably leave lor the East. With" the several regiments already inspected the Commander-in-Chief has been highly pleased, and he said to-day that the guards of the State would be, in his judgment, equal to the same number of regular. In every instance he found the men thoroughly drilled, and he was espe cially struck with the discipline enforced in the encampment. Slaking Personal Investigation. The Governor's effort has been to famil iarize himself with the needs of the soldiers and their disposition to serve the State, and yesterday while he was investigating the cook tents and quarters of the provisional brigade he talked freely with the soldiers as to their condition and treatment, and in every cook tent he inquired of the caterer his needs and his ability to provide food lor the soldiers. A uniform stove is likely to be one of the fruits of this week's inspections. The Governor believes that a stove that can b: taken apart and packed in small space should he adopted by the guard, and should be supplied with the cook tent to every company. Designs for such a stove the Governor believes should be made, and its adoption will be recom mended in the next report of the Adjutant General. The troops were kept constantly on the move yesterday. The Second and Third Brigades occupied the parade ground nearly all the day, and the provisional brigad de Tot d the bulk of the day to moving aEout in front of the Governor and the inspecting party. "Withal martial airs filled the air and every soldier in the big encampment and everybody in Homestead moved about keeping time to the music. Improved by Their Stay In Camp.

"The officers and staff of the Eighth Beg iment are only cited to shqw the kind of men that compose the National Guard of this State," General Gobin said yesterday. General Gobin is heartily proud of his brigade, but he is not entirely comfortable in the dignified position he is just now holding. He is a candidate forrenomina iion from the Seventeenth Senatorial dis trict, and the primaries are to be held in a week from to-morrow. He is being vigor ously opposed for the nomination andhis presence at Homestead is being used against him among the workingmen of his district "Thev may defeat me," General Gobin said yesterday, "but I have confidence that my constituents know why I am here. "When duty called me in 1861 1 responded promptly. Under no condition can I be expected to neglect my sworn dnty and cer tainly everybody knows I am not here of my own choosing. In politics I serve my party and my constituents. In the military I serve the State and the Governor who ordered me here." HE ACTED PBOMPILY. Governor Pattison Authorizes the Cleaning of Fart of Homestead. The filthy condition in which City Farm lane in Homestead was found on "Wednes day by Surgeon Keff, of the Provisional Brigade, prompted the following letter to the principal health officer of the militia: IlEuxjuAitTFUS PnovisioifAi. Brigade. ) Xatioxal GtTABD or Pkhnstltaxia, Camp Sax Black, July SI. 3 Surgeon General Reed; Dear General We beg leave to call your, attention to the filthy and offensive condi tion we found City Farm lane or streot in when we were placed on private duty at Homestead July 19. This localitv had to bo guarded and it was absolutely unfit for mon to stay in. We reported the condition to the medical officer of the day and lie to His Ex cellencr the Governor, who promptly or dered men to be hired at the State's expen-e and have it drained nnd disinfected. The drainage and odor of tho neighborhood wore very niuoh improved by this, bnt we beg leave, in justice to humanity and publio safety, to say further through you to the Board ot Public Ilealth and Sanita tion that in the back yards of the houses on this street there is abso lutely no drainage or sewerage and tho sinks aro seething cesspools.

We are very respectfully your obedient servants, Geo. W. Ketf, Major and Surgeon, First Keslment; K. G. P. Johjt T. Ullau, Assistant Surgeon, William S. Grim, Assistant Surgeon. Surgeon Xeff and his assistants spent most of yesterday in superintending the clearing ot that part of the town. Nearly a carload of disinfectant was used in the work. The occupants of the houses were notified to keep the place clear hereafter. AS SANGUINE AS EVER. "o Material Change in the Views or the "Workmen or In the State or Affairs at the Upper and Lower Union Mills. "Workmen formerly employed in the upper and lower union mills are as san--guine as ever of success. The company has received no response to its call for non union men to work in the mills and as a result the old employes reassert that the plant cannot be operated until the Home stead matter is settled and they return of their own accord. The report that several hundred non union men could be seen at any time loiter ing in the vicinity of the mills is em phatically denied. During the morning of vesterdav only one individual presented himself "at the Thirty-third street mill to secure one of the strikers' positions. He was a skilled workman from McKeesport, and before offering his services he had a talk with some of the old employes. The new comer exhibited a contract from the Carnegie Steel Company trherein it was stated that the bearer should receive 512 per dav for three years if he signed and for warded tne contract, tie was induced to leave the works without presenting him self at the office. During the afternoon two more suspicious looking characters made their appearance in the neighborhood of the Lower Union milL They were followed by the Amalga mated watchmen and as soon as it became apparent to them that their actions were observed they became frightened and boarded a Penn avenue car. The old signs which read "Upper Union Mills" and "Lower Union Mills," and were exhibited in prominent places at both plants, have been replaced by new signs upon which is painted "Carnegie Iron and Steel Company, Limited." The mills are watched night and day by the old workmen and in addition a body of patrolmen are stationed on every street along the river on Herr's Island and in the upper part of Allegheny. The men are all in the best spirits and the general dissatis faction whicn prevailed has disappeared. COKE MEN 10 SIEIEE. The Carnegie Steel Company Mar Meet With Another Difficulty. In the movement to aid the Homestead workers and the Amalgamated Association the last branch of labor to take an active part is the coke workers and miners in the works operated by the Carnegie Steel Com pany. Beports come from the coke regions that missionaries have been sent among these men and are making efforts to induce them to come out in a body. This, if suc cessful, would shut off the supply of coke from the blast furnaces and would compel a suspension. "What progress has been made is not known, but the leaders say the movement is meeting with great encourage ment "When told that the coke men would probably go out on a strike Secretarv Love oy exhibited much surprise. He said: "This is the first iutimation I have had that such a move was contemplated, and if made, o course, it would be a serious matter. It refers, however, to something that is altogether outside of my jurisdic tion, and hence Iwould prefer not to discuss it at alt" "WOBEttEH WILL NOT 8TBIKE. Workmen at McKeesport and Other Mills "Will Not Stop "Work. The report of a strike among the men em ployed in Schultz's bridge works at Mc- Kee's Bocks and on Sonth Thirteenth street, in order to show their sympathy for the Homestead men, is emphatically denied. If any strike occurs at all it will be in the works at McKee's Bocks, and because the workmen are to be put on ten hours instead of nine hours with no increase in pay. The rumor that the men in the National Tube "Works will strike on account of the Homestead trouble is also denied. The men will hold a meeting to-morrow after noon to raise funds for the locked-out men, but no strike is thought of. In connection with these denials a Tetter was received at The Dispatch office last night signed by a committee of workmen at McKeesport, It states that as mucli as the men sympa thize with the Homestead workers, they have no grievance with the company at McKeetport, and not only cannot afford to stop work, but hare no desire to do so. IN MIUCKIPS CELL Hugh O'Donnell at Last Gives Himself Up and Is Now Besting in the Jail. HUGH EOSS IS WITH HIM. Went Into Court and Surrendered Themselves' to Judge Magee. BREAKS AWAY FROM HIS COUNSEL. More of the Marked Men Expected to Give Up on Next Monday. THEEE HATE LEFT FOE PAETS UNKNOWN Last night Hngh O'Donnell slept in the cell vacated Thursday by Burgess Mc- Luckie, of Homestea'd. It is in the south" wing of the county jail, one floor above murderer's row. Hugh Boss, another of the locked-out men wanted on the charge of murder, occupied a cell a little further to the south. Both the Chairman of the Ad visory Committee and his comrade gave themselves up about 11:30 yesterday morn ing to Alderman McMasters. Just the same as other prisoners they were led oft to jail. This morning they will apply for bail. It is expected by their friends they will be released, but there is a chance they will have to remain until Sat urday. None of the other missing four were heard from yesterday, though a complete search was made for them. It was stated, however, that at least one of them would appear on Monday and another as soon as Detective Joe Webber-. that one was released. No new informa tions were made yesterday, though a large number are ready to be sworn to. All Watching for O'Donnell. All the interest centered yesterday in the surrender of Hugh O'DonnelL He came to Pittsburg at 9:30 o'clock with the intention of giving himself up. Detective "Webber had been watching all the early trains. He had heard several rumors, and had all his men ont rnnning them down. He was de tained at his office, and did not get to the 9 o'clock train from Homestead until it was just pulling out from the Fourth avenue station. He heard there that O'Donnell was on board. Knowing it was too late to catch him at Union station, he felt certain the leader of the locked out men would go to one of two points. One was Attorney Brennen's office and the other the Amalga mated offices. He believed the most likely course was for O'Donnell to take the street car to Amalgamated headquarters, in the Mellon building, on Smithfield street. He, therefore, hurried there only to find O'Don nell had gone up Grant street to Attorney Brennen's office, .at "Wylie and Fifth ave nues. The detectives hurried there and found that O'Donnell had left, leaving his satchel behind in the lawver's office. He learned there, however, that O'Donnell was wear ing a new brown hat instead of a jaunty straw one that adorned his head during the recent troubles. Was Not at the Amalgamated Offices. Several people had seen him on "Wylie avenue and then he had disappeared in the neighborhood of Mr. Brennen's office. In the meantime Constable Price had been stationed at the entrance to Amalgamated headquarters. Mr. O'Donnell did not come there during his entire stav in the citv. The constable-went into the offices before he left and found them empty. From the time Hugh O'Donnell disap peared on "Wylie avenue until he appeared in court with Cornelius Horgan he aid not leave his retreat He did not go to Attor ney John Cox's office on Grant street, but sent a messenger to the attorney's office, asking what bad become of Brennen. The answer came for them to wait O'Donnell, however, became weary of this, as well as angry at Attorney Brennen for going .to Homestead. About 11 o'clock he went into Criminal Court and sent a note up to Judge Magee announcing that be and Hugh Boss were ready to give themselves up." The Jndge called them up to the bar. O'Donnell in troduced himself and said: Asked Judge Magee for Advice. ,rWe want to know what to do. "We are willing to give ourselves up and are tired ot being cooped up in a lawyer's office waiting for our attornevs. We are innocent of any wrong. If it bad not been for me not a Pinkerton would have escaped alive. I do not know what to do." "This is not the place to come for ad vice," said Judge Magee. "You ought to go to the Alderman who issued the war rants. "We will send you to jail and to morrow you can apply for bail and I will he'ar you." Tbey took the advice and accompanied by Con HorganJhey went to Alderman Mc Masters office. On the way they met the Alderman and also found Detective "Webber standing in the door. In giviug himself up Mr. O'Donnell said: "I give myself up, but I am innocent of any wrong. I have been wrongly treated by my attorneys, Brennen & Cox, and I am done with them. Mr. Brennen was to have been here when I save ravselt up, bnt instead he went to Homestead. I will have nothing more to do with them." Commitments were soon made out and handed to Detective "Webber. Before noon both men were in jail. Only a paper knife was taken from Hugh O'Donnell, and once inside he refused to see anyone but his wife. Three of the Men Have Skipped. Constable "Webber was interviewed last night and gave the story as given above of Mr. O'Donnell's movements. He also said; "We are still searching for the other mep. Samuel Burkett and John Flanagan got a tip on Saturday , and deft Now just to show how Carnegie's policemen are assisting me, yesterdav one of them saw James Flaherty crossing the river on a ferryboat to take the electric cars at Glenwood. He was afraid to go on a train for fear of detection. Though the man was near atelephone he did not let me know until this alternoon. If I had been given the tip I would have caught him very easily. I have men ont following these people and will catch them in time." Secretary Lovfjoy was seen yesterday I and said no new informations had been made, but that more would be Very soon. He was asked about the rumor that a large number of coal and iron police were being sworn in and said that application had been made for tha appointment of a man to take the place of one who had resigned and Thomas J. Lane was yesterday appointed to till the vacancy. Mr. L-ovejoy said these men were appointed by the Governor and there was no chance of him appointing any large body ot men. Thev have only nine such policemen appointed now. Late last evening Attorney Brennen re turned from Homestead, where he and President "Weihe, of the Amalgamated Association, had been in conference with the Governor. Herald it was not to induce him to bring about a conference with the 4 firm nor of a political nature. Further than this he refused to make any statement. Then he said: "J do not understand why O'Donnell should be angry. I did not know he was here, and had made a previous arrangement to go to Homestead. Unless he decides otherwise, I will ask for his release on bail this morn ing. I expect some more of the men will surrender themselves this morning. Noth ing further has been done on the warrants for Mr. Prick and others." It was rumored that Mr. O'Donnell had staid at the house of Mr. Horgan, but when that gentleman was seen last night he de nied the report and said he met Mr. O'Don nell in the Court House, CHIEF BROWN TALKS. Bars There Will Be No More Rioting This the Most Orderly City In the Country Mr. Frlck Unduly Alarmed About Lock No. 1. H. C Prick and his attorney, P. C Knox, called on Chief Brown yesterday afternoon and complained that when the provision boat sent up to Homestead by the company had passed through lock No. 1 a crowd of men gathered on the bank, swore at those on board and threatened to attack the boat. They asked tl,a '"hereafter a force of police be placed at tn k to protect the boat Assistant Suut'ntendent Dan Silvia was directed to investigate and take snch action as might be necessary. He reported to Superintendent O'Mnra last night that when the boat passed through the lock there were only three or four men there. "When a policeman approached they quietly went away. "I don't think there is any necessity for placing more policemen at the lock," said Chief Brown last nfght "Our people are orderly, not disposed to cause trouble and I think there is no necessity for increasing our force at any one point in the city. The storv about the demonstration at lock No. 1 was, I believe, exaggerated to Mr. Frick, else he would not have called on me. I do not anticipate any more rioting either in this city or at Homestead. From his con versation with me I am satisfied Mr. Frick is of the same opinion. Pittsburg was never quieter than now. "We have even less of the common every day disorder than is usual at this time of the year, and less than in almost any other big city in the country. "Our newspapers should emphasize this fact because people in other cities are likely to think Pittsburg shares in the dis order at Homestead. No city in the coun try can truthfully boast of lean street dis order during the past three weeks than we have had, notwithstanding the vital im portance of the outcome at Homestead to the thousands of millworkcrs in this citr. Even the thugs and thieves that one would naturally expect to drift here from other cities as a result of the riot excitement and the entry of the State's army into this sec tion, have remembered the reputation of this city for order and decency and stayed away." "WILL AFFECT BAILEOADB. Swltchmenand Carpenters Will Not Handle the Carnegie Product. Delegates en route to the National Con vention of Switchmen in this city made the assertion at Harrisburg last night that res olutions will be adopted during the confer ence calling upon all switchmen to refuse to handle cars carrying material to or irom any of the works of the Carnegie Steel Com pany until the latter firm makes some ami cable arrangement with their locked-out employes. The delegation of switchmen also state that the National Carpenters' Union will send out a communication addressed to their sub-lodges asking the members not to use wire nails made bv the Carnegie Com pany until after peace has been declared. Besides the switchmen, it is stated that brakemen and other railroad employes on the principal roads that run out of Pitts burg have also declined to handle anv ma terial made at the Carnegie works. One of the railroads mentioned in this connection is the Pittsburg, McKeesport and Yough iogheny, bnt several emploves of this road, when questioned last evening, denied that they intended to carry out such a seige, for the'present at least IHET ABE NON-UNIONISTS. Ens ineers Takinc Strikers' Places Have No Authority From the Brotherhood. In talking of the present labor difficulty at Homestead last evening a prominent member of one of the local lodges of the Brotherhood of Local Engineers said: "On accountjof some little trouble between our organization and the Amalgamated Associa tion of Iron and Steel "Workers some few years ago, many of the engineers possess the idea that it they tace positions at Home stead and in the union mills they are not doing any wrong. "Since the dispute between the Carnegie Company and the Amalgamation, the en gineers employed on the shifting engines of the firm, in order to show their sympathy, stopped work also. The Carnegie Company are now offering extra inducements to en gineers and a rumor has gained consider able current that men belonging to the Brotherhood are accepting employment. I wish to deny this and also to state that in case any men belonging to our organization do take strikers' places, .they are doing a great wrong and nqt being authorized by the Brotherhood ot Locomotive Engineers they arc nothing more than non-unionists." JOHNSTOWN HILPING. Claims That the Cambria Works Ars Filling Homestead Orders. There is said to be no question but that the Cambria Iron "Works at Johnstown are filling orders for the 'Homestead mills. The department making angle bars has been ' rushed day and nigut for some time, and yesterday it was learned that a large " order was being filled for the Homestead mills. The men say that a big order of 4x4 billets is to be sent out to the enstomers of the Homestead mills, and there is a good deal of talk about it, but it is not likely there will be any trouble as the hands of the men are tied, no union men being al lowed there. It is stated also that Superintendent Pot ter has written to the foremen of the vari ous departments at Johnstown, making them flattering offers to accept work at their Homestead mills, but all offers so far have been rejected. AIL QUIET AT BEAVEB FAILS. ' No Non-Union Men are Expected hut Strik ers Are on the Alert - The situation at Beaver Falls remains unchanged. . The Carnegie Company as far as can be learned has made no move toward starting the mills. Incoming trains coth dav and night are closely watched, although it is believed that no attempt will be made to Introduce non-union men at present. The mill men put in their leisure hours at the headquarters in the rooms of the Amateur Athletic Club.

GOODNIGHT FOR FIDO. Allegheny Councils Will Hot Allow the Slaughter of Dogs. AUDITOR'S ELECTION DEFERRED. Mr. Ilenricka Fpeaks on the "Wisdom of Suburban Development. A LESSON FROM PITTSBURG'S POLICY Both branches of Allegheny Councils met last evening. Soon after the organiza tion of the Common branch a messenger an nounced that Select Council was ready to go into joint session for the election of a City1 Auditor. No immediate action was taken, but later the Common branch sus tained a ruling of Chairman' Parke that an election could not be held at that meeting. The friends of T. "W. Bigger were ready to elect him last evening, but some of them, on general principles, voted to sustain the Chair, and the election will be held at a special meeting next Tuesday evening. Chairman Parke presented a veto from the Mayor on the ordinance licensing dogs and providing for the killing of unlicensed dogs. The Mayor's objections were based on the opinion of the City Solicitor, that dogs are personal property and the city would be liable to a suit for damages for killing them. The Mayor suggested a new ordinance without the death penalty for un claimed dogs. "When the question was put, shall the ordinance pass notwithstanding the veto of the Mayor ? Mr. Henderson said he thought the ordinance should be enacted. He did not think the legal objections ot great mo ment, and said Councils were not bound by the opinion of the City Solicitor or any other attorney. He contended that putting dogs to death was fully within the police power of the city. They could kill a horse or a cow or any animal, no matter to whom it belonged, if it were for the protection of the health and life of the people. They could go into a man's' house if he had the smallpox and take him out and remove him to the pest house for the preservation of the public health and they conld surely take his dog. The idea that they were to be at the mercy of all the dogs of the city was preposterous. They should pass the ordinance, or the vagrant curs of Allegheny would chase the people ont of the city. A Dos Rampant on a Ijw Hook. Mr. Home endorsed Mr. Henderson's views. He exclaimed: "Are we going to I nave a new city scuu ja. uug running ram pant on a law book? A government of the dogs, by the dogs and for the dogs?" Mr. Nesbit said thev ought to "swipe ont all the measly dogs." The only detect in the ordinance was that it did not include cats. The opinion of City Solicitor Elphin stone on the subject was read. The ques tion was then put topass the ordinance over the Mavor's veto. A three-fifths vote was required, but the motion failed by a vote of 21 ayes to 22 nays. When President Parke announced that the veto of the Mayor was sustained, old Tramp, the most celebrated dog in Alle gheny, who was out in the lobby with some of his free lunch friends, uttered two sharp barks, which set the Councilmen and the spectators into roars of laughter. It was insinuated afterward by some small minded persons that one ot the bovs set his boot on Tramp's foot, but the old dun dog's best friends indignantly assert that Tramp knew what had been done as well as most of the Councilmen. . Mr. Gerwig moved to go into joint session with Select Council for the purpose of electing a Citv Auditor. Mr. Simon raised a point of order that the election could not take place that night for the reason that the ordinance provided that the auditor should be elected at a special meeting of Councils to be held as soon after the passage of the ordinance as possible, eta The meeting in progress was a regular one, and the election therefore was not in order, but must be deferred for a special meeting. Against Mr. Bigger! Election. Chairman Parke, who is understood to be opposed to Mr. Bigger, decided the point well taken. He said the City Solicitor differed from him, but he was of the opinion that a special meeting should be called and the purpose for it announced, Mr. Dahlinger appealed from the decision of the Chair. Chairman Parke retired and Mr. Knox took the chair, whereupon a dis cussion followed. City Solicitor Elphin stone was heard and said that a joint session of Councils held at once would be a special meeting within the meaning of the or dinance and the election therefore proper. President Parke read rules to define a special meeting, and Mr. Henderson said the intention ot Councils was to give mem bers notice of the election and that Presi dent Parke was right A motion to sustain the decision of Chair man Parke was carried by a vote of 22 to 15. Upon the call of wards the following papers were presented and referred: Mr. McAnlev, an ordinance for an assist 'ant in the office of the City Solicitor and an ordinance repealing the ordinance opening Itodaers street. Mr. Neeb, an ordinance re grading and repavlng a portion of Lacock street Mr. Winters, an ordinance for repaying a portion of Webster avenue. Mr. Lewis, a resolution for lebate of rent paid for Carnegie hall and ordinances for temporary clerks in the treasurer's office and creating the office of a plumbing Inspector. Mr. Lowe Criticises Mr. Park?. The first business in Select branch was the adoption of a motion by Mr. Lowe that Common Council be notified that Select was ready to go into a joint session to elect a city auditor. "When the messenger returned with the information that President Parke, of Common, refused to put the motion be fore his branch, Mr. Lowe became indignant He said: "That's an in sult to this branch. "What right has he to settle that for the 53 members of Councils. I'm as good as he is, or any one belonging to him. Him rule for S3 menl That's the first time I ever knew there was a bigger man than me in the Second ward. It's an insult; it's an insult" But hereMr. Lowe cooled down consider ably, and continued his expostulations only in an undertone. Chairman Lindsay began the calling of the wards, and what threatened to matte a little excitement lapsed into quietude. On the call Mr. Henricks introduced a resolution providing for the issuance of bonds for street and sewer improvements. In supporting his resolution Mr. Henricks said: In considering tho needs of Allegheny wo should not alone provide for the fepivins of certain streets and hu- the delusion that thereby we are building up and improving the city. Plttsbui-ar has built a new city in the Eist End, has laid out now streets,pavcd thorn nicely and is constantly drawing new residents, uot alone lrpm settlers not of tho city, but also from our town. When wo wall: along some of our best streets nnd see plenty of "to lets," and upon making in quiries find tho people have gono to tho East End, we cannot help being stnrtlea. A house .rentlnjj for $500, $600 " or $700 per year on good streets can be dupli cated in tho East, .End, and in some case-i sur passed by tho new and modern houses that lino the line streets of that locality. Prop erty in good resident locations of Allegheny runs from $200 to $300 per front foot; on the parks $600. Ill the East End you can secure choice lota fiom $10O to $.00 per foot. What Allegheny Mast Do. . The odds nre against Allegheny city and wo must wake up and courageously and in telligently canvass the situation and set forth the exact facts to the cltfzens.andgo to work with a will at once toj provide ways and means to make our city as attractive as possible. Good sewers rnujt bev provided una suon uangeroas piacos asiDuicner'a nun properly sewered and a waterway provided lor, and Woods' Bun sewer, a 'disease breed ing and dangerous locality, taken care or. These two sewers drain over one-half the city, and tlie Im portance of properly arranging for the safety and health of the citizens residing thereon cannot be overestimated. The city should open up and widen Perrysvillo ave nue. Now Brighton avenne and,otber thor oughfares at once, help financially, if need be, to bear part of damages aooming, lor tho money will return quickly through taxes paid on new houses built and increased val uation of the ground opened up. To show the importance of tho outlying wards I' would say that the Tenth ward alone has more acreage than the flrstglx wards of the city, and the Tenth and Elev enth nearly halt the acreage of tho city. "AH of this is good, available building ground and its natural advantages for scenery, jinre air, good water, etc.. surpass the East End of rittsburg. Tho acreazeof the ruialwaro amounts tn about 3,200 out of a total of 4,720 of the entire city. We have 93 mtlesof paved streets, 91 miles of nnpaved streets, and to rr pave all the paved streets would cot fully $2,000,000; and while I layor all new work being done with improved pavements, and the worst of the old and prominent streets repaved as quickly as possible and bonds issued for that purpose,,yet I want to say that we must build our now city in the suburbs, and should not be too proud nr stubborn to learn the lesson shown,usby Pittsburg. We can do this by a reasonable outlay of money and, Dy issuing sufficient bonds, ease the burden and haye future gen erations who would share the benefit, share in carrying the same. The ordinance providing for police magis trates was passed bv the Select branch, in the shape in which it was approved by the Finance Committee. The following contracts were approved: Repaving Western avenue from Allegheny avenue to Ft Wayne bridge, Joseph Bast ings, $18,452; paving Ohio street from East Diamond to Codar avenue, Crson & Orr, $11,159.50; extending Walker street sewer from South avenue to Pittsburg and Western Eailroad, Sloan 4 Mollwain, $1,805.- Ordi nances were passed tn pave Sherman avenne from Stockton to Montgomery, Lincoln avenue from Irwin to Allegheny; .Westorn avenue from Allegheny to Bebecca, South Diamond from Federal to Sherman and from East Diamond to Union. Select Council sustained the Mayor's veto of the dog license ordinance . Mild Session of the Auditors. At 7:30 o'clock last night the Auditing Committee of Allegheny Councils met Dr. 3illiford, the Chairman, was not present, and Mr. Lowe was called to the chair. Nine members were present Despite' the expectation that there would be some! sensa tional disclosures brought out the meeting was short and devoid of any features that are new. The payroll, $350, was approved and the report of Auditor Jiigger was re ferred to Councils. That part treating of the accounts of the delinquent tax" collectors was referred to the Finance Committee lor investigation. Mr. Bigger was 'asked if the report he had prepared was a final one, and he stated that it was, bnt that if there were .any other matters he had overlooked he would attend to them. His report embraces a period dating from January 1, 186, to Jnlr 16, 1892. ' Mr. Paulin then questioned the Auditor relative to the payment of the printing bills. Mr. Bigger answered that he had in advertently omitted to mention this in "his report; that, however, it was still under ad visement ot Mr. Flphinstone. Mr. McKirdy, after the meeting", stated that he would not protest against Mfc Big ger's report, as he acted as an' assistant only, and that he declined'to approre'the report because a few minor details were sot satisfactory to him.
