BERKHAX EMPLOYS AN ATTORNEY
H. C Frick left Pittsburg yesterday.
2s o one of his subordinates knows where the
Chairman intended going, and but few of
those about the Carnegie offices had infor
mation that he had gone
Mr. Frick was at his office yesterday
morning, but some time during the day he
disappeared. He took with him Officer
McTiglie, and it was reported that he would
be absent lor ten days at least
Secretary Lovejoy said he had no infor
mation of Mr. Frick's movements. He
had heard, however, that Sir. Frick had
gone away for a rest, but he had reeeived
no official notice of such a movement
"3Ir. Frick has thrown his whole life
into the fight which has just happily
ended," Mr. Lovejoy said. "He has ex
hausted himself and I have no doubt he has
qone to some quiet resort for a short rest
Mr. Frick has just won the greatest fight
ever waijed and he is certainly entitled to
all the rest his business will allow him.
Don't Know Whern He liai Gone.
"He may have hurried off to the seashore
or he may have gone to Ligonier, Cresson
or some other mountain resort, but where
ever he is, he has not.lef t Pittsburg through
any fear, but to get a needed rest"
The report that Anarchists are looking for
Mr. Frick seems to have excited the police
and the people generally more than it did
Mr. Frick himsel The subject was
liberally discussed on the streets yesterday,
and the Pittsbursj detectives were industri
ous in their efforts to overtake anyone that
even looked like Aaronstamm. During the
day two men answering the description of
the much wanted Anarchist were stopped
on the streets by the local detectives, but in
each cae the parties proved their identity
and were allowed their liberty.
AnsrclilKt Hnolcl Kelo:sd 01 Call.
Carl Knold, the alleged Anarchist, was
released from jail yesterday afternoon at 4
o'clock. The Court had made an ord.-r the
previous day, that when Knold would fur
nish $7,000 bail he might be released. This
lie did yesterday. Assistant District At
torney Haymaker remained in the office of
the Clerk of Courts with authority from
Judge Zwing to approve any proper and
sufficient bond that might be presented in
behalf of Knold and order his release.
At 4 o'clock Attorney Friedman walked
into the clerk's office with five bondsmen
lor Knold. They were Conrad Weber, Lonis
KiJquer and George Rudolph, of Allegheny,
and Peter Albert and Andrew Imgrunt,
of this city. The bail bond was
rlv filled out with the names
bondsmen attached. Tfie document
ver to v:!, sod aftelr Knold had
jar. "Haymaker examined the
and after satisfying himself that
umg was all right he ordered Knold's
.eae. AVhen he got out Knold went
direct to Allegheny, and, it is said, he will
return to his wort on Monday.
Tterkman Wants an Attorney.
Attorney Friedman, while in the jail yes
terdar, had a conversation with Berkman,
which is likelv to terminate in Mr. Fried
man being retained as counsel for the An
archist Mr. Friedman stated last evening
that a friend of Berkman's had told him
that Berkman wanted to see him. Yester
dav Mr. Friedman received a note from
Berkman asking him to call on him in the
prison. The attorney said he would de
cide in a few days whether or not he would
defend him. In the conversation that took
place between the two men, Berkman said
he knew of no such man as Aaronstamm, so
much talked about recentlv.
"Berkman," said Mr. Friedman, "seems
perfectlv at ease. He talks freely and in
telligently, reads the papers every day and
seems as happy as a man could well be
under the same circumstances."
NEW RECRUITS SCARCE.
The Carnegie Steel Company, Limited, Se
cure 3fo More Workmen jor Their Up
per Union 31111s and Their Force Is Being
Decreased Every Dny.
Lawrenceville workmen are still engaged
in persuading the non-union workmen to
leave the Upper Union MilL Last evening
they induced five more men to abandon the
works. While this is continually going on
it seems that the Carnegie Steel Company
are getting no new recuits. It is reported
that in the past 72 hours the force in the
mill has not been increased by one new
man.
The Finance Committee held a meeting
yesterday from 10 o'clock in the morning
until 2 in the afternoon. Tbeentire time
was devoted to considering relief claims and
distributing funds among striking workmen.
One of the Press Committee declares that
the report that a break was contemplated
by some of the men is untrue. If anything,
they are stronger than ever. When asked
if it was true that they expected co-operation
fron the Switchmen's Union, he re
plied: "We will have no joint meet
ing with the switchmen, but some
of the prominent members of the
Union have been visited. They will prob
ably call a meeting, at which one of our
representatives will be present to see what
can be done lor the Amalgamated Associa
tion in the way of helpingusinthisstrike."
To-morrow there will be a general mass
meeting at St. John's Hall, on Thirty-second
street All the Lawrenceville men will
be present President Gompers, of the
Federation of Labor, and President Mc
Guire, of the Brotherhood of Carpenters,
together with their colleagues, will be
asked to attend. The meeting will be called
at 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
One of the men who was induced to leave
his position in the Union Mills yesterday
said. "All but the puddling mills are in
operation after a fashion. One scran mill
furnace has been closed down for repairs,
the bottom having been mined by some
workmen unacquainted with the work. In
place of this lurnace they have started one
in a distant part of the mill." The
Teemer brothers who, it in allepred, were
resulted bv several strikers yesterday morn
ing, according to this man's statements are
badly bruised. One of them has a big strip
if plaster on the back of his head which
overs a baa wound. The Press Committee
xe inclined to believe that the story rf the
ssault is a ruse. They say the Teemer
rothers are known to carry revolvers and
n case ol a fight it is probable that they
vould have used them.
The Men Did Sot Quit.
It ni reported yesterday that 250 men
Tere to leave the Homestead mill last night
rhe men did not leave the '-'ace as was ex
pected, and the managemen t the mill de-
nied that any of them had given notice of
tbeir determination to leave.
A LIFE FOE A LIFE.
Mrs. Danahey V? atchm by Her Son'l Bed
side Until Strlckf-n Down.
By the unexpected death of Mrs. Mar
garet Danahey, at her residence, No. S9
Main street, yesterday, a sad story is made
public. W. L. Danabey, a son of the de
ceased, was one of the many newspaper cor
respondents sent to Homestead during the
recent labor riot A few days after his ar
rival young Danahey, contracted typhoid
fever. He was confined to his room in the
hotel, but his mother, knowing that her boy
could not receive the proper attention, had
him removed to his home in the West End.
Here he was given the most faithful care
and his mother was untiring, in her efforts
to rte her boy. Many nights she was by
his bedside until the gray ot morning ap
peared and it was all the sufferer could do
to induce his parent to take a much needed
rest One afternoon Mrs. Danahey did not
approach her son's bedside. He waited
patiently for her coming but in Tain.
At last he asked for her
and was nearly broken-hearted when
he was informed that the mother who had
assisted him in fighting the dreaded disease
had succumbed to the same malady. Mrs.
Danahey never rose lrom her bed after
ward. She laid in a delirium until 2:30
o'clock yesterday afternoon when she died.
Mrs. Danahey is the widow of the late
Daniel Danaher. Her funeral will take
place at 9 o'clock to-morrow from her resi
dence. Services at St James Church.
A NAESOW ESCAPE.
A Supposed .Agent of the Carnegie Com
piny Sleets Willi a Mlnhnp.
A Russian Hebrew, supposed to be an
agent of the Carnegie firm, hardly escaped
with his life at Mingo Junction yesterday.
He made his appearance on Hungarian
Hill, and offered the men ?5 a day to go to
Homestead.
They are all union men, and the Hebrew
was knocked down before he got very far in
his talk. He was taken to the river by the
Hungarians, where he was rescued by some
Americans and put on a Panhandle train.
The speedr action of the rescuers saved his
life.
ASSAULTED AKD FINED.
Hard r.uck of a on-Un!on TCorKer In the
Homostrad Mill.
Frank Chili, a non-union man, was at
tacked and badly beaten by three strikers
on the railroad track at Homestead last even
ing. His face was cut and he nas knocked
into a gutter where his nose was apparently
broken. Afterwards 'Squire Oeffner fined
him $5 and costs, in default of which he
was consigned to the lockup for 48 hours.
During the hearing strikers ontside the
office cursed the man, while the 'Squire
mildly protested.
HAEVEST FOB EAILEOADS.
Ills Fassencer Business This Summer Is
Phenom-nal.
There is no let up in the excursion busi
ness. All the lines out of Pittsburg are
having a phenomenal passenger traffic.
James P. Anderson, general passenger
agent of the Allegheny Valley road, said
yesterday that the business on his line to
Chautauqua was never better than it has
been this summer. He is now making ar
rangements to take theTariff Club to Buffalo
August 31, for the national meeting of Re
publican clubs. The Valley and the Lake
Erie bae agreed on a rate of 54.75 for the
round trip. The hustlers want a daylight
ride, and will leave here in the morning.
E. C Dunnaant, City Passenger Agent
of the Lake Erie, says his line is selling at
leist 20 tickets daily to Muskoka and
Orrvenhurst in Canada. He saw Captain
Cockburn, the owner of the Lake Niplssing
line, of boats, several days ago. He is
greatly in love with Pittsburgers and their
pocketbooks. He ays they are liberal
spenders and he would rather handle peo
ple from this city than any other. This
morning about 2,000 Knights ot Pythias
from Chartiers will go over the Lake Eric
road to Lakeside Park, near Stoneboro.
This point is getting to be a great resort for
secret orders. Rev. A. C Smith and a
party of 17 went to Snow Island a lew days
ago.
MEASLES ON TS07 HILL,
Several Deaths Owlnc to Lack of lTompt
Dledical Attention.
Nearly every family on Troy Hill has
had one or more cases of measles within the
last few week. Dr. J. T. McGee said he
had innumerable cases within a very short
time, besides eight cases ot typhoid fever.
The physician said he could give no rea
son for the prevalence of typhoid fever, as
that part of Allegheny has an excellent
sanitary system and the drainage is good.
"There is little if any malaria here," he
continued," and I am at a loss to account
for the prevalence of the dis
ease. Fortunately the tvphoid patients
are not confined to anv one neighborhood,
and there is not much danger of it becom
ing dangerons, as the cases are quickly re
ported and a physician is called before it
assumes any alarming phases. With the
other complaint there is less care show n.
Nearly every child upon Mt Trov has had
the measles or is now suffering with it In
a number ot instances entire fam
ilies have been down at once, and there
have been some few deaths. The people
here do not attach much importance to the
ailment and use their own preparations and
herbs until the case becomes alarming by
the patient taking cold. Then a physician
is called, but oftentimes it is too late and the
little one dies. But it is diminishing now,"
he concluded, "and we think the worst is
over."
WANTS TO GET BID OF HEB.
Mrs. X.utz Says Her Husband Has Applied
for DlTorce Throe Tim.
Mrs. Sarah Lutz, of New Brighton, yes
terday filed her answer to the suit for a di
vorce brought against her in Common Pleas
No. 2 by her husband, Charles Lutz. Sne
states that this is the third attempt he has
made to obtain a divorce from her. The
first attempt was made in 1885 in Beaver
county. This suit was discontinued. The
second was in 1883 in Common Pleas No. 1
of Allegheny county. He alleged deser
tion, but upon n jury trial a verdict was
given in her favor. This she claims is a
bar to the present proceedings, the charge
being the same.
Mrs. Lutz asserts further that she did not
desert him in 1887, as charged, or any other
time, but that after his unsuccessful at
tempt to get a divorce in Beaver county he
sold their farm in Beaver county, took the
proceeds and left her in New Brighton,
where she now is with her five children.
She asks that the suit be dismissed.

THE
HEARD FROM AT LAST.
Father Mollinger's Heirs Write to
Attorney Mueller.
THE ESTATE WILL SOON BE DIYIDED
A Brother, a Sister, Nieces and Nephews
Comfinfora Part.
THOSE NEW'TOKK COUSINS CUT OFF
The heirs to the estate of Father Mol
linger have written to Attorney Mueller
from their home in Holland, claiming the
dead priest's property. From information
in the communication there are two direct
heirs and the children of a dead brother and
sister. Each will, they claim, come in for a
fourth of the estate of the priest-physician,
and the New York cousins are cut off en
tirely from the inheritance.
Gregor Meyer, the Ohio street liquor
dealer, who was by the Court appointed ad
ministrator of the eastate of Father Mol
licger, was seen by a Dispatch reporter
last night, and said the Hoffmans, ot New
York, would not come in for any portion of
the inheritance. "Attorney Mueller," con
tinned the administrator, "who was Father
Mollinger's lawyer, is now acting with me
in the disposition of the property. He re
ceived letters from the direct heirs in Hol
land some time this week.
Two Brothers and Two Sister.
According to this communication there It
a brother, a sister and two families who
will come in for an equal share, or one
fourth of the real and personal property.
Father Mollinger had two brothers and two
sisters. En eh of the four married and hare
or had families. One brother and one sister
are dead and the other brother and sister
are living. The latter two have quite large
families and the widow and widower
of the dead also have several
children. The living brother and sister
will each receive a fourth of the estate and
the remaining half will be equally distrib
uted among nieces and nephews of Father
Mollinger, who are the children of his dead
brother and sister. The distribution will
be made according to the laws of Pennsyl
vania and age will not entitle one to a
greater share than another. The personal
estate is about $70,000 and the real estate has
not yet been estimated. What the entire
amount of inheritance will be I cannot say
at present. It will not be any vast sum at
any rate, but as the worldly condition of
the heirs is not one of great luxury the in
heritance will be most acceptable. All of
the heirs reside in Holland, and, from what
Lheard from Father Mollinger while he
was living, the family was not wealthy.
Money will go much further in Holland
than it will in America, and what seems a
small inheritance to an American will seem
much larger in that country.
Estranged From III. Family.
"The money will be something of a sur
prise, too," went on Mr. Maver, "as the
priest was estranged from his brothers and
sisters over some cause or other, and I be
lieve he intended giving his entire property
to the unurcn. 1 do not Know wnat was the
cause of this family misunderstanding, as
Father Mollinger ery seldom talked of such
matters, but I think it had something to do
with his leaving his profession as physician
to enter the priesthood. Father Mollinger
was ot a very decided nature and when he
once undertook a venture of any kind
he continued at it until he was
satisfied. Ttiat, I think, is the
secret of his phenomenal success. He
threw himself entirely into his work and
studied most diligently. Of course this
decisive nature made it difficult tor him to
get along with those who determinedly op
posed him, and that was what his relatives
did."
"Has the search for the will been discon
tinued for good?"
"It has," replied Mr. Meyer. "There is
no use or hope in keeping" up the search.
Everv possible, and, I may say, almost im
possible, place has been examined without
any of the expected results, and everybody
has agreed in believing we looked in the
practical places, and then, at the dictation
of lanatics upon one subject or other, in the
impractical places, and the efforts have all
proven vain.
Satisfied No Will Was teft.
"We are now convineed beyond a doubt
that no will was left bv Father Mollinger.
and now that the relatives have been heard
from it will not be a great while before the
affair will be concluded and the property
turned over to the heirs."
"What disposition will be made of the
relics?" asked the reporter.
"It is too early to talk of the relies, as we
have but just heard from the relatives and
the letter was concise and simply gave the
information regarding the number ot living
heirs who are next ot kin. We shall open
communication with them at once, and in
the course of time shall bave the matter
straightened up. The relics will be turned
oter to the heirs together with the money,
and they will make what disposition of
them that they see fit"
"Has anything further been heard from
the Hoffmans?"
"No more than has already been published.
They are relatives beyond the first blood,
being second cousins and more distant than
that The finding of direct blood relations
will, of course, prevent the New Yorkers
from receiving any part of the estate and
the Hoffmans and all others of distant rela
tionship will not come in at all"
His Memory Is ?acred.
An effort was made to secure the letter
last night, but Attorney Mueller, in whose
possession it now is, did not have it at
home and was worn out with a tiresome
rai I road j ourn ey.
On Troy Hill the people seldom talk of
either the dead priest or his will. The
memory remains as sacred as ever, but the
excitement has died away, and those who
a short time ago talked incessantly of the
new developments, or that which had be
come a tradition, seldom mention the sub
ject The qniet little chapel and red
brick house stand silent and deserted.
The hinges upon the iron gates
are rusting lrom want ot use and tne black
draping that hangs from the windows has
faded an ugly dark brown lrom exposure
in the wind and rain. An occasional visi
tor passes the chapel and stops in the house
where a priest and two serving women re
side, but the iront door is seldom opened to
any one. Troy Hill is again the peaceful
village.
They TVer an Hoar Late.
The workingmen's meeting at McKees
port last night was not as successful as was
anticipated, owing to the fact that the
principal speakers did not arrive in this
city until an hour or more later than tha
meeting was announced to take place.
Many of the men who had assembled in the
meantime returned home. Later when the
speakers, Messrs. Carney, Sheehan and
Killgallon, arrived the meeting was con
tinued. Lorn and His Bicycle.
Dr. Eaton, of the East End, received a
letter yesterday from the Eaton Bros,
ranch, near Medora P. O., N. Dak!, in
which was mentioned the arrival at their
ranch of Frank J. Lenz, the Pittsburger
who is on his way around the world on a
bicycle. Mr. Lenz will stay with the Eaton
boys lor several days and a number of hunt
ing and fishing parties have been arranged
for his entertainment

PITTSBURG DISPATCH,
A SOLDIER CANDIDATE
Smcrited for Mayor of Allegheny City
William Q. Grlffltb, of -the On Hun
dredth Pennsylvania Volunteers, Is
framed at a Meeting of O. A. B. Man and
Citizens. ,
A meeting was held last night at Post
161, G. A. E., Hall, 49 West Diamond
street, Allegheny, at which William G.
Griffith was indorsed as a candidate for
Mayor of Allegheny, to succeed Mayor
Kennedy next spring. It 1b intended by
the G. A. B, men to push Comrade Griffith
to the front as a"people's or citizens' " can
didate. The soldiers state that he is
not their choice simply because he is
a veteran, but is their choice as a
citizen. It was upon this principle that the
meeting was called.
It appeared at first that there would not
be a representation large enough to give
the occasion the dignity it should have.
Shortly before 9 o'clock there were only six
persons present Shortly afterward more
persons entered, and when the call to order
was made tnere were present abont 40
persons, including members of the Grand
Army, 12 members of the Jr. O. U. A. M.,
and other persons irrespective of any or
ganization. Captain J. K. Barbour was called to the
chair and Charles F. Sherrif acted a secre
tary. Walter Fitzgerald, a representative
of Peerless Council, of the American Me
chanics, stated that there were present in
the room a number of American Mechanics
and that they wished through him to signify
the pleasure they had in learning of the
candidacy of Mr. Griffith and that they
would support him.
A letter was read from Mr. Griffith recit
ing that as he had frequently been asked to
consent to the use ot his name as a candi
date for the nomination he was ready to
comply therewith.
A motion was made that the meeting in
dorse Mr. Griffith's candidacy. This was
assented to and the body adjourned until
next Saturday, when a plan will be agreed
upon to further the campaign. Com
mittees will be appointed and on
the Saturday , following a general
massmeeting will be beld andnrard officers
will be chosen to boom Mr. Griffith.
The candidate is a well-known business
man of Allegheny, and was connected with
the One Hundredth Pennsylvania Volun
teers. Pursuant to this action there is a move
ment on foot among a number of G. A. E.
men to again place Major Trier in nomina
tion. His defeat by Mayor Kennedy, it is
said, has not weakened his popularity.
AFBAID OF WISCONSIN.
Kx-Senator Fpooner Is Not Sare That His
State Will Go Repub'tom.
Ex-Senator Spooner,of Wisconsin, was on
the limited last evening returning home
lrom the seashore. He was one of the Har
rison leaders at Minneapolis, and did much
toward renominating the President He is
confident of Bepublican success, but is not
sure of his own State.
"Wisconsin," he said, "may be a little
doubtful. You know how we were knocked
topsy-turvy in 1890 by the school issue.
The law was offensive and has been re
pealed, but it still sticks in the people. I
opposed the school measure and can never
defend it It was a great mistake, and now
Illinois is wrestling with the same
problem. I do not take my defeat
for the Senate as at all personal. It was
necessary to elect a Legislature that would
repeal tne school law and the people did it
I am not posted on the situation in Michi
gan, but the gerrymander is a bad thing for
us. There is no danger of Nebraska or
Kansas going Democratic: The defeat of
Ir.galls ought to make Kansas Bepublican.
The people must be weary to see a man like
PefFer representing them in the Senate. The
contrast with Ingalls is so great that t,he
election of Peffernow looks ridiculous."
Mr. Spooner says he has too much re
spect for Tom Piatt's Bepublicanism to
think that he needs to be placated by the
President on personal grounds. He says
Piatt is in line. He remarked that the
party will live longer than men or adminis
trations. If affairs don't snit a Bepublican
now he can wait his opportunity lor the
wind to blow bis way.
A SOUTHSIDE E0B3ES CAUGHT.
Several
Stores Entered and the Money
Drawers Rlfld.
- Several stores on the Southside were
entered early yesterday morning and the
money drawers rifled. Small sums were
taken from the stores of Herman Bohrkaste,
Samuel Yierneller and William West
Two men were known to have committed
the robberies.
About 2 o'clock two suspicious-characters
were located at Twenty-fifth street, and
when approached started up Carson. The
police followed. Several shots were ex
changed, but no one was hit The men ran
into a building on Twenty-eight street
One escaped, but the other, Frank Shay,
was captured. Some of the stolen goods
was found on his person, and the police
claim they have a strong case against him.
Several robberies recently committed on the
Southside are supposed to have been com
mitted by the same men. Shay is well
known to the police and has served several
short terms.
100 EOT FOB POLITICS
The Democratic School District Urganlzi
tlon Lylns Dormant.
Since the campaign of last fall nothing
has been heard of the Democratic school
district organization in Allegheny county.
Secretary Frank Guffev was asked yester
day if anything was being done.
"Nothing for the present," he replied.
"The weather is too hot for political work,
but I suppose we will be heard
from later on. I do not know whether
the organization will be revived or allowed
to lapse. The plan is a very good one, and
I understand is modeled after Tammany in
New York, The people in the association
are not in politics for spoils, bnt the good
of the party. It is always difficult to hold
the interest under such circumstances. The
man who is in politics for the money in the
business can be depended on to do his work.
1 hope that the organization will be con
tinued."
Objects to the Mayor' Judgment;
A petition was filed yesterday for a writ
of habeas corpus to secure the release of
Margaret Haulon from the workhouse. She

THE SITE SELECTED.
Colonel Low Decides on Allegheny's
Postoffice Location.
IT IS THE OLD GRAHAM PB0PERTT,
On the Northwest Corner of Ohio and West
Diamond Streets.
OPTIONS SECURED FROM THE OWNERS
Colonel James P. Low, of the office of the
Supervising Architect of the Treasury De
partment, departed for Washington last
evening prepared to recommend to the Gov
ernment the purchase of a property for a
postoffice on the northwest corner of Ohio
and West Diamond streets, Allegheny.
Colonel Low said before leaving that $235,
000 of the appropriation was Immediately
available, and he believed that the land
would be bought and work begun in a very
short time.
The. gent of the Treasury Department
stole a march on the local newspapers.
Word wag sent from Washington that he
would leave there Friday evening and ar
rive here Saturday morning. As a matter
of fact he reached Pittsburg about noon Fri
day and registered at the Hotel' Duquesne.
That afternoon he visited the Allegheny
postoffice and talked with Acting Postmas
ter Mackey in regard to various proposed
sites. Colonel Low learned that there -was
a general desire in Allegheny to see the
Federal building erected on the Haymarket
square. Inquiry had already developed the
fact that the terms under which that square
was dedicated to public purposes would not
allow the city to offerit to the General Gov
ernment Yesterday Colonel Low visited the vari
ous private properties offered for a post
office. He was accompanied by Council
man John C Oliver, who was chairman of
the joint committee of Councils that went to
Washington to urge the appropriation.
Half a dozen properties were viewed, all
near the center of the city.
The Proper Piece of Ground.
Colonel Low finally agreed, as had an
other agent of the Government who came
here nearly a year ago, that the proper site
was the corner of West Diamond and Ohio
streets. The site has a frontage of 120 feet
on Ohio street and extends back along West
Diamond ISO feet, and is owned by three
parties.
On the corner is the old frame hotel, three
stories high, a relic of Allegheny antiquity,
now leased and operated by William Booth.
This property has a frontage of 60 feet, and
includes not only the old hotel, but the de
serted livery stable on West Diamond
street, formerly occupied by John Wilson.
The property belongs to Mrs. Nettle McKee
Graham, a widow, who lives at the
Hotel Duquesne, and its management
is in the hands of the Fidelity
Title and Trust Company. On the
Ohio street front the store rooms are
occupied by N. F. Nolte, cigarmaker, at
No. 49; Philip Miller, harness maker, at
No. 51; S. Drum & Sons, insurance and
real estate, at No. 53, and Wa Shine, a
Chinese laundryman, on the comer. Next
west of this property is the 30-foot front
owned by A. D. Smith, ot the firm of Smith
Bros., proprietors ot La Belle furnaces. This
is a three-story brick house, occupied bv
Zimmerman's grocery and Dr. Burgoon's
medical establishment Next west is -a
brick building with a 30 foot front owned
by the Ben Franklin Insurance Company.
It is occupied by the offices of the insurance
company, and by Fairman's undertaking
rooms. These properties are all 150 feet
deep, and would allow the erection of a
handsome, commodious granite building.
Colonel low Getting the Figaros.
Colonel Low called on John B. Jackson,
President of the Fidelity Title and Trust
Company, A. D. Smith and the officers of
the Ben Franklin Insurance Company, and
secured their figures on the properties.
Neither he nor Councilman Oliver were pre
pared to say last evening what the figures
were. Mr. Oliver said that the entire site
wonld be seenred for something less
than 200,000. Colonel Stone and Senator
Qnay, he said, had the figures, and their
size could easily be inferred from tne fact
that the terms of the appropriation were
changed so as to allow as much as $200,000
lor the purchase of the site. This leaves
but $50,000 of the present appropriation for
the building, and that will be sufficient to
carry on the work of excavating and build
ing the foundation until Congress can make
a further appropriation. Colonel Stone was
in consultation with Colonel Low on Fri
day, but at noon yesterday left the city for
a vacation at Bedford Springs. The figures
could, therefore, not be secured from him.
Colonel Low left for Washington last
evening on the 8:10 o'clock train. Before
his departure he said: "I shall report to the
Treasury Department the advantages and
disadvantages of about half a dozen sites,
but I shall take occasion to express my
opinion as to which site is the proper one.
The Haymarket Square would be a good
location, but as the city has not offered it to
us we could not consider it. Of course, the
Government could condemn that, as it could
any private property, but it would not wish
to do that That land has already been
dedicated to public purposes."
Colonel Low declined to say what
property he would recommend, and the facts
in regard to the above location were ob
tained from other persons with whom he
conversed during his two days' visit He
is an old, experienced and trnsted agent of
the Supervising Architect's office, and his
recommendation will doubtless be accepted
by the Treasury Department
Not the Sams ! marosa.
It was reported yesterday that the Ital
ian, Frank Amarosa, who was killed by a
Pennsylvania Bailroad tram, at Torrens,
Wednesday night, bad been identified at
the morcue as the man who, on October 11,
1891, stabbed and killed Frank Antonello
in a row in the East End. Coroner Mc
Dowell says the truth is diametrically op
posite to the published statement The
only connection between the dead man and
the escaped mnrderer is in the name. The
police have never been able to bnd a trace
of Frank Amarersa, the murderer.

FOURTH RELIGIOUS FEAST.
The Catholics Will To-Morrow Celebrate
Assumption Day Origin of the Festival
and How the Occasion Will Be Observed
Thronchont Civilization.
To-morrow is the fourth holy day of obli
gation in the Christian year, commemorat
ing the assumption of the Blessed Virgin
Mary, and all of the Catholio churches in
the city will celebrate the occasion with
fnll services.
A Pittsburg priest yesterday speaking of
the occasion said: "The tradition of thisday
has been handed down for 1,800 years from
one generation to another in the Catholic
Church. Upon the 15th of August, some 15
years after the death of Christ, the sainted
mother of the Son of God, made man, re
linquished her hold upon .1 life of mortality
and her soul passed away to heaven. AfUr
the separation of the soul from the body
angels of God came down from heaven and
bore the inanimate form of she who had
given birth to the Savior to heaven, where the
soul and the body were again joined as
they had been in life. This was the re
ward from the Almighty Euler to the
daughter of man for bearing the Holy Son
of God. This in the Catholic religion an
ticipates the general resurrection of man
kind at the judgment day, and illustrates
how the mortal bodies and spiritual souls
will be joined together in heaven.
"In all parts of the world where Catholi
cism obtains will the day be celebrated with
auspicious ceremonies. In Pittsburg the
day will be observed as Snbday and mass
will be celebrated at 6, 7, 8 and 9 o'clock
and high mass at 10:30 o'clock. In all
churches but the Cathedral altars will be
decked with flowers and especial musical
services will be rendered. Assumption
Day is the fourth obligation feast
day of the Christian year
Christmas beins first, New Year's
Day second, Ascension Day third, Assump
tion Day fourth, and the least ot the Im
maculate Conception fifth and last Church
members are obliged to attend mass upon
these days as they are upon Sundays and
generally more elaborate services are ren
dered. "In agricnltural parts of the country As
sumption Day is considered the same as
Harvest Day among other sects and thanks
are rendered to God for the summer
blessing he has bestowed. The date, August
15, has been one of religious observance
from time immemorial. It was upon this
day, as near as history tells, tent the Greeks
rendered homage to Cere, the goddess ot
agriculture, and made great sacri
fices at her altar. In Eastern coun
tries, as in all parts of the world,
the day was one of religions ob
servance, and even to-day in the newly
settled countries the religious observe the
time and render thanks to their Deity.
Catholics the world over feel their duty is
but half done if their wheat and oats are not
harvested before the holy day of Assump
tion of the Blessed Virgin Mary."
A BOOK FOB BIDEE8.
An .Enthnslastlc Wheelman Invents an
Umbrella for Cyclists.
J. Edwin Baker, of Sixth street, is a man
who takes a great deal of interest in bicy
cling. He knows what it is to climb a hill
on a hot day with the sun away up in the
nineties and playing a tattoo on the brain,
or to be caught in a thunder shower on a
country road several miles from a house or
barn. These are some of the trials, that
pester the pleasant life of a bicycle rider.
To remedy these evils Mr. Baker has in
vented wbat he calls a bicycle umbrella. It
is intended for male or female, the ones for
the ladies can be distinguisned by their
gaudy colors. This is something that riders
have needed.
The umbrella Is like any other de
signed to keep off sunshine or rain. The
attachment to the, machine is light and
simple. It consists of an upright rod bent
over at the top. The umbrella can be ar
ranged to cover the bodv in any position.
It moves up and down on the rod, and is
fastened with a clamp. In coins: np a hill
the rider can put the' umbrella directly in
front to ward off the sun's rays, or at his
back, as occasion may require. Mr.
Squires created a sensation at the annual
meeting of the association in Washington
by appearing with one of the umbrellas on
his wheel. It was much admired, and all
sorts of questions' were asked about it

An Operator Rays England Is Slowly Uob
bllnc the Country.
L. C Hixon, an oil driller, registered at
the Central Hotel yesterday. He spent a
year in Burniah drilling for oil in that
country, but the climate did not agree with
him and he returned home. He is here to
get three men to go there next week for a
New York corporation. Mr. Hixon says
Europeans like the climate and thrive
under it. A very heavy oil that is used for
lubricating purposes and making wax is
found. The Russian oil is of such poor
quality that the Burmah article finds a ready
sale in the East
The natives are quite ignorant and afraid
of the whites. Several times Mr. Hixon's
party was attacked, but no harm was done.
The natives make fairly good workmen.
They were paid about 5 per month in
American money, and managed to save half
of it Mr. Hixon thinks it is only a ques
tion of time until England will own the
whole of Burmah, and the Indian lines to
the boundary of China. Tha natives occa
sionally encroach on English soiL This is
made a pretext for pushing them back, and
gobbling a slice of Burmese territory in re
turn. In this way England has appropri
ated a great deal of ground.
Camping Club Entertainment.
The Becreation Camping Club, of New
Brighton, gave a lawn fete at Bcmus
Point, Lake Chautauqua, Friday evening,
where they are in camp, in honor of their
friends. The entertainment consisted of
athletic sports and music. The fat men's
race was between Dr. Gale and Lewis Mor
row. Dr. Gale won by six inches. There
were about 300 guests present, and they all
voted it a big success.

THE NEW BOULEYAED.
Now Bein? Surveyed and Will Be
Built Quickly as Possible.
C0MECTING THE TWO BIG PARKS.
Affected Property Holders all iniionj for
Work to Begin.
THE LINE OP 1HB TROPOSID ROUTE
There seems to be no longer any doubt
about the construction of the grand boule
vard driveway connecting Schenley and
Highland Parks. Chief Bigelow talked of it
a few months ago as a possibility. Now
it looks like a settled fact Hardly
a day passes but some of the property
holders through whose lands it
will run call at the City Engineer's office
and nrge him to hurry the work forward..,
They willingly offer the necessary ground
from their property to make the 80-foot
driveway which Chief Bigelow has planned
and the required city legislation cannot be
secured quickly enough to suit them.
The City Engineer has had a corps of men
at work making a survey of the proposed
bonlerard for some time. Since they began
some changes have been made in the
original plans.
BTalclne Survey of the Route.
Their work has been confined to that part
of the new road between Frankstown ave
nue and the lower end of the Negley's Bun
Valley, and that part of it has been nearly
finished. There is a stretch of a mile and a
half from Finley's Lake to the Allegheny
Valley Bailroad down through the conrse of
Negley's Bun. The next step to be
taken is the construction of what
is known as the Negley's Bun
main sewer. When it is completed
and the water of the small run or creek is
diverted into it, there will be an excellent
place for the proposed roadwav. The pro
posed grade is only a 1 per cent incline at
certain places and at others none at all. At
the lower end ot the beautiful valley there
will be a loop of graceful curve and at the
upper end there will be a symmetrical
circle around Finley's lake.
From Frankstown avenue near Finley's
lake the present Fifth avenue will form a
part of the connection of the two parks to
Penn avenue, preserving its present width
of 60 feet. This will be the only part of
the proposed boulevard which will be less
than 80 feet wide, and the name of it will
be changed from Fifth avenue toBeechwood
avenue.
Konte of the Boulevard.
At Mrs. Thaw's property the 80-foot road
will be resumed. It will pass through Mrs.
Thaw's property, thence to the Frew,
Beechwood plan, Brnce Murray, Arm
strong, John Scott, George Guthrie, Mrs.
Parkinson, Phillip's school, the Gever and
Bruner properties, to Forward avenue.
The grade will be easy at all
points, forming what has long
been desired in that section, an
easy ascent to the top of the hill south of
Fifth avenne only accessible now bv Shady
avenue, which is" too steep for comfort or
convenience. The owners of all the prop
erties named are anxious to have the drive
way opened, and as they are the only ones
financially interested there is no doubt of
the plan going through.
Between Fifth and Forward avenues the
boulevard will cross Irwin avenue. Fair
Oaks street, Homewood, Fftrbes and Phil
lips avenues, besides a number of proposed
streets now being arranged for. It will re
quire a considerable amount of work to
perfect this system. Alter the formalities
of locating and opening are gone through
the next step will be sewering the whole
ronte. Then it will be paved with asphalt
from one end to the other.
The connections to Schenley Park will be
by way of Forbes street from where it in
tersects the boulevard and by the 100-foot
street donated by the Murdoch heirs, now
known as Beacon street, which is to form
one of the park entrances. Linden avenue,
which is now being paved with asphalt
from Penn avenne to a point near Beech-
