GRIEB GETSSCORED. Judge Ewing Enles Against Him in the District At torney's Mandamus. KEPEOYED BY THE COTJET. He Must Pay Burleigh in Full at the Bate of $6,000 a Year. ALSO ALLOWED HIS PERCENTAGE. General Legislation Does at Timis Bepeal Special lets. THE COUXTI TO PAI THE ASSISTANTS District "Attorney Burleigh drew first fclood yesterday in his mandamus proceed ings cqainst County Controller Grier to compel him to pay his salary for May and June. Judge Ewing yesterday handed down his decision. in which he grants every point asked by Mr. Bur leigh, and orders the Controller to paj the money, lie also puts a new con struction on the Supreme Court decision in the Bell case. He says there are conditions under which a general act repeals a special act without having it specially mentioned. Controller Grier, however, declares his posi tion is right and will test it in the Supreme Court. Judge Ewing decides that District Attor torney Burleigh is entitled to $0,000 per year Ealary under the act of 1881, instead of f4,000 per year under the act of 1871, as contended by the Controller; declares that be should receive credit for the full amount of lees earned by the office, instead of but two-tnirds, and gives him a percentage for collecting forfeited recognizances. Ewiog Scores tile Controller After reciting the cause for which the petition was filed, Judge Ewing says: "It Is unfortunate that the Controller should have imagined that this was a mat ter personal to himself, for from that cause lie has injected into his return much irrel evant and objectionable matter, a part of which has been stricken out and a part still remains, interwoven with relevant matter. No one doubts the rights aad dnty of the Controller to refuse to certify to claims which in his opinion are illegal and to require a legal decision thereon, but it was neither neces sary nor proper for him to set forth the fact that he and his clerk had taken an oath to perform their duties faithfully. It was rniproper for him to undertake to reflect upon the District Attorney's administra tion of his office and to draw comparisons between him and his predecessor. To the certain knowledge of the Court each of the officers referred to conducted the office of District Attorney efficiently, and the asser tion that the Controller mistakes the law is no reflection on his integrity and good faith." Returning to the legal question the Court traced the legislation for the District At torney's office up to the act of 1871. Entitled to Ten Per Cent of Collections. By the act of 1863 he was to collect for feited recognizances, and the Court allowed him a percentage, usually 10 per cent. By the act of 1871 the ealary was made $,000 per year. The supplement of 1672 gave him in addition 50 per cent of the iees and com missions allowed by court and authorized by law, thus making it part a salaried and part feed office. Section 5, article 14, of the Constitution was quoted, providing that in ail counties of over 150,000 population the county officers should be paid by salary, the fees to be turned into the coun ty treasury. Legislation was necessary to carry these provisions into effect and the ect of 1876 was passed to carry into effect tins section. It required all fees to be paid into the treasury and fixed the District At torney's salary at 3,000 in counties of over 250,000 inhabitants and less than 300,000. The Court is ofjopinion that this included Allegheny county and that the local acts of 1871 and 1872 were repealed bo iar as the District Attorney's office was concerned. The difference between the District Attor ney's office and the Treasurer was that the Treasurer had been salaried since 1861 and the District Attorney's office had been both feed and sal aried np to the act of 1876. Continuing he reviewed the question of a general act re pealing a special act and held that in this instance there was an inconsistency and specific terms were not needed to repeal the special act Jfot .Against Former Decisions. This corclusion, he said, did not in any sense conflict with the decision in the Bell case. In conclusion he decided the Dis trict Attorney entitled to 56,000 per year under the act of 1891, a supplement to the act of 1876. A to only crediting the office with two thirds of the fees earned, he ruled that credit should be given for all the feeb. The Assistant DiEtrict Attorney and County Detective are independent officers and not dependent on the District Attorney. Their salaries must be paid by the county. As to forfeited recognizances the District Attorney was entitled to a per centage allowed bv Court for collecting tliom. Iu conclusion the court held that this made enough money in the connty treasury lor me months named to pay the District Attorney his salary, and ordered a peremptory mand.imus to issue. Controller Grier said he would appeal the case to the Supreme Court: that he could not pay one officer under the act of 1871 and another under the act of 1891. STARVED FOE SIXTY H0UBS. S.-d Story ol a TVom.m Deserted by Her Husband. During the drenching downpour of rain about 11 o'clock yesterday morning a woman carrying a small child in her arms entered the Twenty-eighth -nard police station on the Southside and related a most touching tale of desertion and destitution to Ser geant McQuaid, who was in charge. They were both poorly clad, and, having no pro tection from the rain, were drenched to the iKin. The woman gave her name as Mrs. Mar garet O'Marron, and said that she had nailed from the Sis-mile Ferry to the po lice station with her 2-vear-old child, not having money to pay car fare. She claimed to be in starch of" her husband, who, she said, deserted Her about four months ago. On being closely questioned by the Ser geant, she admitted that she had nothing to eat for two days. She was given a refresh ing meal, after which she was sent to Chief Elliot, of the Department of Charities. The police will try aud find her husband. Died From the Heat. Budolph Maldowsky, aged 22 years, was found dead in Park Bros.' mills yesterday morning. He was a fireman for one of the furnaces and it is supposed he was exhausted by the intense heat.

He was removed to his boarding place on Mulberry alley, betweon Thirty-sixth and Thirty-seventh streets. The Coroner was notified and will hold- an Inquest on Monday. A BIG SUIT FOR STOCK. Balph Bagaley Sues llio Pittsburg d Lake Superior Iron Company for Twenty-Mine Thousand Dollars Max Cntfc lsky Kefnsrd Ball Conrt News. Attorneys Knox & Reed yesterday filed two suits against the Pittsburg and Lake Superior Iron Company. One was by Balph Basraley to recover $8,550, and the other by Balph Bagaley, administrator of Mary A. Bagaley, to recover $20,550. The plaintifis,it is stated,are stockholders in the defendant company, Balph Bagaley owning 9,9S0 shares and the late Mary A. Bagaley 24,000 shares. The company held, as an asset, 1,371 shares of stock in the Pittsburg Steel Casting Company, of the par value of f50 per share. On March 7, 1892, the directors of the defendant company declared a dividend of the stock of the Casting Company. It was to be divided among the stockholders according to tEelr holdings. The total stock of the defendant company is 80,000 shares. Balph Bagaley's share ol the Cast ing Company stock would be 171 shares at a par value of f50 per share, or $8,530. Mary A. Bagaley's share was 411 shares, or $20, 559. Demand was made on the company for a transfer of the stock, but it was re fused and the suits are brought to recover the value. For Jfon-Dellvery of a TeTecram. An appeal to court was taken by the Western Union Telegraph Company yester day in an odd case. The suit was brought against the Company by "V. D. Wilkins before Magistrate McKenna, to recover a penalty of $100 provided by the act of March 29, 1849, for an alleged failure to forward a message from Allegheny to Altoona. The message is alleged to have been delivered to the company by Mrs. TV. D. Wilkins April 28,' 1892. It was never received by her husband. The act referred to provides a penalty of $100 for any telegraph company neglect ing or refusing to forward a message. Wil kins sued tor the penalty and the magis trate gave judgment in his favor. The company claims it never received any mes sage from Mrs. Wilkins. The Schenley l'ark Railway. In the case of the Schenley Park and Highland Bailway Company, formerly the Squirrel Hill Bailway, against the city to restrain the latter and its employes from interfering with the company in relaying its tracks on certain streetsan order 'was made by Judge Ewing yesterday that the company be allowed to relay its tracks, provided the work be done before the com pletion of the work of paving the streets in question.

Special Bala Of fine hand-made harness at tlS per sat to reduce stock at Pittsburg Harness Empo rium, 426 and 123 Wood street THE THEY CANNOT AGREE. Byron 6. Fahnestoek and Wife Find They Must Lire Separately. HER PARENTS WERE TERI POOR, While His Are Millionaire Manufacturers of Medicine. A STORT OP DOMESTIC INFELICITY A not unfrequent result of the marriage of a son of rich parents to a young woman of humble family is-that shown by proceed ings in a desertion case yesterday brought to a settlement before Alderman Mc Masters. Six years ago Byron G. Fahnestoek mar ried Lizzie Ellman, of Oakmont. Xoung Fahnestoek is the gradson of the elder Fahnestoek, who made fame and fortune by the manufacture of patent medicines. The originator of the house is dead and the busi ness is now in the charge of his sons, of whom B. F. Fahnestoek in the senior. Byron Fahnestoek is his son, and, while not yet a sharer in the fortune of the house, is employed in the offices on Liberty avenue, and is an heir expectant, and thus entitled to consideration in financial and social affairs. He is a well built young man, of very fair face, yellow hair and mustache. The woman of his choice is the daughter of poor parents. She is described as a very beautiful woman, with brown hair, large brown eyes and a temper. On account of the difference in the positions of the young people, the parents of the young man op posed the marriage, but without effect. The union once effected, the father of the boy accepted the situation gracefully, and bought a comfortable house tor the couple at Bayburn, on the Allegheny Valley Bail road, in Westmoreland connty. Into this house Byron Fahnestoek put about 52.000 worth of furniture, and married life began very pleasantly. Strnck Some Snags on the Koad, But it did not continue smoothly. Quar rels became more frequent, aud the ap pearance of a sweet little girl in the house hold failed to bind closer the tie. Matters went from bad to worse, as far ns domestic peace was concerned, and when about ayear ago the wife insisted that her father should come and live with them, the husband pro tested so vigorously that a high and final quarrel resulted. Byron- Fahnestoek left his house, wife and little girl, came to the city and took rooms over the office of the Fahnestoek Company, at 1141 Liberty. There he has since lived. For a long time he sent to his wife 55 a week, in order that the child might be properly cared for. Five or six weeks ago he concluded that he ought to have some of the furniture in the house at Bayburn, as he had bought it all, and he requested that he be allowed to take away enough of it to furnish a room for himself in the city. The wife refused to part with anything. ' One day three weeks ago, with two men, one of whom was a con stable and the other a ferryman at Bayburn, Byron Fahnestoek went to the house and demanded entrance. The woman would not open the door. It was then forced open, but the woman made such a vigorous defense of the house that it was deemed best not to attempt to remove anything that day. The husband went to the cellar to look for some things there, when Mrs. Fahnestoek locked the cellar door and Byron had to crawl out through a window. He then told her that he would return in two days with, a wagon and take what goods he wanted. The Wife Invokes the f.w. The nevt day Mrs. Lizzie Fahnestoek went before Alderman McMasters and made information against her husband for deser tion, and that evening ho was arrested by Detective Weber at the house, on Liberty avenue. He gave bail for a hearing, and the time was fixed for yesterday. Friends of the family and the attorneys in the case, Joseph 'P. Hunter for the woman and West McMurray for the man, got together and after several conferences arrived at the terms of a settlement. Hus band and wife agreed to disagree and to live separately. The wife wilf have charge of the little girl and the husband will pay ?3 a week for its support The furniture in the house at Bayburn will be sold and the pro ceeds divided equally between hnsband and wife. The house itself belongs to young Fahnestock'a father. Mrs. Fahnestoek has returned to the home of her father at Oak mont and Byron Fahnestoek continues to live in this city. The charge of desertion before Alderman McMasters has been with drawn. THICKS OF PILOTS. How the Navigators on the Missouri Blver ., Kept Up Their TCnges. '1 remember," said David Garrett, of St Louis, yesterday, "when the pilots on the Missouri river had a grand combination and kept up their wages to the top notch. They used to charge $2,500 for a trip of 60 days up the stream and return. Whenever an accident occurred all the pilots went into court and swore that only a man familiar with the river conld successfully guide a boat on it The steamboat owners con cluded it must be so, and for years a little coterie of men reaped a harvest on the river. Since then it has been demonstrated that any man who is a judge of water can steer a boat on the Missouri as well as the best of the ancient mariners. The combi nation was broken up, and competition has reduced the wages of the pilots." WOUNDED IN CAMP. Councilman Zangand John Katz Acciden tally Shot at Harmony. Councilman B. M. Zang, of the Seventh ward, Allegheny, and John Katz, a well known resident of the same ward, were acci dentally shot yesterday and narrowly es caped being killed. The gentlemen are members ot the Peerless hunting and fish ing clnb, which is camping near Harmony, Beaver county, on the Pittsburg and West ern Railroad. Yesterday they arrived in camp, and dur ing the afternoon John Forbes, one of the party, was in the aot of loading a gun, when it was discharged accidentally. Zang and Katz were sitting close by, and received part of the contents of the weapon. Both the injured men were brought to their homes. Unlicensed Peddlers Failed In. Three men, charged with violating the city ordinance relative to peddling on the public streets, were picked up by the Penn avenue police yesterday. Wirt Switzer, Charles Venchinsky and Max Earnstein were each fined $5 and costs by Judge Mc Kenna."

The Hot Spell Has Spent Ita Fury Exces sive Hnmldlty to Blame for the Oppres siveness Miles of Wind Blowing Over the City. The excessively hot spell seems to have come to its end, as do all things mundane if given time, but this hot spell yields its sway stubbornly. Last evening the weather man said the cold wave was already with ns, but the people on the streets were sadly unaware of the fact Men stood on street corners or sat on door steps and fanned themselves with their hats. The thermometer was erratio yesterday, as it did not reach its top notch until even inc, and after dark it wai much warmer than in the middle of the day. The long forenoon rain, refreshing alike to man and beast and growing plants, was accountable for this. The farmer sat in his easy chair, looked abroad on his acres fair, rubbed with glee his horny hands and watched the rain sweep over his lands. Between daylight and noon yesterday there was a fall of 1J inches of rain, the heaviest in the same length of time since the early spring showers. The temperature at 8 in the morning was 73, and it rose to 76 at noon, holding at that figure until 5 o'clock, when it began again to rise, and shortly before 7 p. 3L had reached 79, the highest for the day. While this was considerably lower than lor a week previous, the weather was very oppressive because of the excessive humidity. At 5 o'clock in the evening the percentage of humidity was 83. This means that the atmosphere contained 85 per cent of the amount of moisture it could contain without precipitation. The percentage is very high, and in such a condition of the at mosphere a high degree of heat is felt much more than when the air is drier. The highest temperature during the month was 908 last Tuesday. The lowest point was 54 on the 4th and 5th. During eight days, from July 22 to July 29, inclusive, the maximum temperature each day ex ceeded 90. The greatest rainfall was half an inch in ten minutes, just after noon Friday. During all this hot spell there was always a good breeze, so that the motormen on electric cars did not know that the weather was very warm. On an average about 140 miles of air blow over Pittsburg in each 24 hours. That means that the aver age velocity is about six miles an hour. From noon July 15 to noon of July 16, 221 miles of wind passed over this city, and on many other days the Telocity was above the average. The highest velocity of the wind was 34 miles, which was reached on Wednesday and on Friday. The weather man says it will be cooler to day, and that there may be more rain with lightning and thunder. NEW BEF0BMED CHTJECH. The Historic Old Edifice at Wllklnsbnrg to He Replaced. The last services to bo held in the Be formed Presbyterian Church, Wilklnsburg, will take place to-day. The building is to be demolished to make room for a hand somer edifice, and the old church, that has stood since 1845, will be a thing of the past This is the church in which the famous trial of the young ministers for indorsing the East End platform was held a year and a half ago, at which time it became familiar to readers of church matters all over the country. It is a small, modest brick struc ture, but it has been the scene of many im portant meetings, and its walls aud roof have resounded to the tones of some of the greatet divines in the Eeformed Presby terian Church. The new church will cost from 513,000 to 515,000. It will be of pressed brict, with stone trimmings, but of rather plain design. The congregation will worship in the old Methodist church during the building of the new edifice, but it is expected that it will be ready for occupancy 'within eight or nine months. The closing sermons to-day will'-be by" the pastor, of the church, and will be of an appropriate character. Most of the promi nent ministers are away on their vacation, which will prevent as great a demonstration as would otherwise have been held. When the new church is opened, however, it is expected that the services will be of an un usually elaborate character. A Best for Drnmmors. For the last few weeks the hotels of Pitts burg have been almost deserted. The hot weather and the labor troubles have kept drummers away from the city. Many of the commercial men write that as long as the strikes are in progress they will steer clear of the town. They imagine that the entire city is affected. Stole a Team of Horses. Jacob Leiber, a farmer living on the Stenbenville road, complained at police headquarters yesterday morning that a team of horses and a wagon loaded with produce, had been stolen from him at the corner of Liberty and Market streets. The police will trace the thief.

His Circular to the Window Glass Workers Made Public PEODUCT SHOULD BE INCREASED. Prices Unit Ba lowered to Compete With Foreign Stuff. NO MONET IN. THE GLASS BUSINESS During the recent convention of the dele gates to the American Window Glass Work ers' Association in the Southside Turner Hall, a communication was presented by William Loeffler advocating certain changes in the rules of organization wherein the wages of the men would be increased by adding to the production. It has been customary for several years past at local and national gatherings of the Window Glass Workers to receive a similar communication from Mr. Loeffler all of which have been given due consideration. At the last convention however, his letter was laid upon the table and no action taken upon it. It was not made public and is still in the hands of William E. Springer, the National Secretary. Ever since the con vention a pressure has been brought to bear upon Mr. Loeffler to give out the letter he sent to the Window Glass Works and last evening he consented. The letter begins with a greeting to the delegates to the convention. The writer then states that since the last advanco was paid, which increased the price of glass, the manufacturers have been unable to operate ten months in tho year, and that at least five reductions have been made in Belgium since that time, although the McKinley bill did not increase the tariff on window glass excepting a small advance on sizes, 24x30. " Effect of Foreign Competition. The paper then goes on to state that for eign glass can be imported and laid down in New York as cheap as the average cost of glass in this country. That double, espec ially, and extra large sizes in particular can be imported extremely low. Owing to such low price all the large jobbers buy foreign glass of extra large sizes, and plate glass is taking the place of large double to a great extent The delegates therefore should be impressed with the fact that while single blowers are making high wages that double blowers are earning much higher wages, and if a reduction is made that the largest reduction should be made on the wages of the double blowers, but which can be equalized if double blowers are permitted to 'make 32 boxes weekly. The letter then states: "Delegates should know that in the wageB conference of last year the manufacturers asked for a reduc tion, and agreed to pay expenses of a work ers' committee to visit New York, Chicago, etc., to prove tho low price of foreign glass, but the proposition was declined. They ought to know that at the same conference the manufacturers demanded to be relieved ot the payment of any part ot the wages of the snapper ot the big blower, but the manufacturers were informed it was un necessary to include it in the settlement, be cause L. A. 500 never fixed wages ot snap pers, and therefore they would not inter fere if the manufacturers refused to pay it, and yet after the manufacturers started, L. A. 300 forced payment to be made by the manufacturers. Ail should know that tho workers had it pretty much their own way, but as a result no manu facturer started before October 2, 1891, and many did not commence before October 20, and throughout the entire year about 400 pots were idle. No Money In the Glass Dullness, "These pots would not remain idle, and the rest, both pot and tank furnaces,only operate eight to nine months it there was money in the glass business. The failure of five manufacturers and the vol untary discontinuance of business of three concerns tells 'its own story. An exceptional fairly successful manu facturer is not evidence of profit in the business, nor is the fact that some manu facturers are enlarging their plants evidence oi prosperity, because it is done in the hope of cheapening the product and to thus be able to stand competition and to save from loss the money already invested and which cannot be withdrawn. Nor does the start ing of new factories indicate prosperity, because some are started because they re ceive money bonus and land and fuel free, and those starting withoutsuch inducements display a hopefulness worthy of a better cause. "The Imports figure up abont 1,200,000 boxes of 50 feet, yearly, which is a disgrace to tne American nianuiacturers and work ers, and both should nnite, determined to keep out foreign glass by a low price of American, and by making a better quality and enforcing a higher standard in every factory, in assorting, so that the picture, show case and coffin trade, etc., will feel justified in using American glass exclusive ly. It is not sufficient for a dozen factories to make glass equal to imported; every factory in the country must do likewise. The cost of American glass must be reduced in every possible way, and by the adoption of the latest methods, when proven a sne sess and when same is not at the expense of quality, but in this reduction ot cost the workers must be willing to stand their share to successfully compete with foreign glass. How Pittsburg Is Affected. "The blowers of K. C. Schmertz & Co. (Limited) average 71 cents per box single and $1.81 per box donble, which is equal to 34.08 per week for single and $54.30 per week double, if (he blowers make 48 boxes single or 30 boxes double in 5 blowings per week ot 8 hours each, and this is sup posed to be about the average per box made in other successful lactone. It is an in justice to manufacturers in Pittsburg and the West to permit blowers to work forlO per cent lower wages in New Jersey and New York States, especially as about one-third of their glass is sold in the West. The man ufacturers prefer to employ none others than members of the Workers' Union, but said organization must supply a sufficient number ot skilled workmen who are sober and industrious, otherwise manufacturers mnst employ non-union men."

Prominent Citizens of Allegheny Continue to .Write to Mayor Kennedy In Favor of Bis Street Kepavlng Project Mr. Eberbardt Disagree. Mayor Kennedy yesterday received a large number of letters from taxpayers in answer to his 'circular in relation to the is suance of street repaying bonds. The num ber received yesterday was about 40. William A. Carr, Secretary and Treas urer of the Union Trust Company, writes: "I think that in the contemplated repaving of North, Cedar and other avenues around the parks the streets should not encroach upon the pavements next to the park. I re side on North avenue and know that many property owners prefer that the street width be left as it now is. The south side pave ment of North avenue is well shaded and a favorite walk of many. This is particularly noticeable during church hours of Sunday." P. Beymer, the senior member of the firm of Eeymer& Bros., writes: "We not only want good streets, but good light (not tower lights) and also good water, and I think the sooner we get them all the better for us. We will not then have so many vacant houses." Dr. J. a Phillips says: "Let us hsjte good water, light and streets and the future prosperity of our city is assured." Erom Judgo W. D. Porter came the fol lowing: "The suggestions contained in your letter of the Cth inst. are withont doubt founded in good business sense. The improvements indicated would b: of pres ent and lasting benefit to the municipality. The financial plan proposed seems unob jectionable, and either that or one of similar nature ought to be adopted. In your efforts for the advancement or tho interests of tho city all good citizens ought to sympathize." John Huckcstcin, the 'contractor, ex presses his ideas in the following manner: "If I may take the liberty I would like to suggest that where the streets are improved the plan should contemplate first the laying of all pipes for water and gas, and connec tion maun to the curb at each lot, whether the lot is built on or not thus to prevent as far as possible the tearing up of the paving. Where the lots are not built on, the city could carry the cost of this extension to the curb until such time as the owner may build, and then collect from the owner a fixed charge for this ex tension." William Eberhardt, the brewer, writes in opposition to the measure. He does not think it fair that all the city should be taxed for the repaving of the streets in favored parts of the city.
