PITTSBURGEES NOW ON THE OCEAN I The scheme to drain the Allegheny and Mpnongahela rivers by lowering the wick j ets at the Davis Island dam inav not be --adopted. The city authorities and many of pthe nvermen have heretofore agreed that the rivers can be cleared only by draining, 1 but yesterday the drainage scheme met vig f orous opposition from several phvsicians in the city. Chief Brown, Mayor Gourley, Colonel Boberts, Mayor Kennedy, of Allegheny, and others int rested in keeping the cholera from getting a loothold in this community, met yesterday morning to discuss ways and means of keeping the plague out. All united in the opinion that the rivers should be drained and cleaned.and the onlyscheme ' suggested was that of lowering the wickets at the Davis Island dam, and in that way draining the river bed. riiyslciaTB Oppoj- ths Measure. The advisability of draining the rivers was liberally discussed by the authorities, and it was finally decided to consult phy sicians on the subject. Several physicians who were seen last night, without considering the subject, gave it as their opinion that the draining of the rivers would be beneficial to the city's health. Several others, however, were confirmed in the belief that the draining of the rivers at this time wouid not only be dangerous, but might tend to Fpread dis ease just as deadly as cholera. "Cleanliness is a positive prevention to the cholera," Dr. C G AViley said last night "But," he went on, "the city au thorities should consider well before they attempt to drain the two river by lowering the wickets of the Davis Island dam. To lower the wickets at this time when the water is low would almost completely drain the harbor. A S-dlm-ntTUit Brords Death. "It would uncover on either side of the river at least 60 feet of the river bottom, and at this point everybody knows the Tiver bottom is made up of the refuse accumulated for probably a life time. To uncover that sediment just now would be very dangerous. It is foul and is death-breeding at any time, but to uncover it and expose it to the sun would be like propagating germs of all kinds ot disease. Even if cholera did not reach Pittsburg all kinds of lever, diphtheria and other malignant diseases would certainly follow such exposure, and the people re Fponsiblc lor draining the rivers might be responsible for the introduction of hose diseases. At tle morning meeting report's of the vnrk .ifiS" done bv .the several depart-jiruis'bT.- city-Were received. Dr. J. C Dunn wrote to Mayor Gourley offering some va'uable suggestions in regard to treating cholera. The letter says: SletkodK to right Cholera. I am clad that Chief Brown has decided to take cx-ery piecautlon to prevent au out break in this city without r.sking the delay that could not be avoided if an appealfwas made to Councils. In my opinion he is taking the proper course, and if at any time in the luture this is denied, 1 believe he will be sustained by the couits. However, you know and I know all the precautions that could possibly bo taken by tuo municipal authorities will not pre vent the disease from cominj to this city ir it reaches the country at all. Tlio city officials can clean public thoroughfare and even compel the people to renovato houses and yards, but tiiey cannot lorce in dividuals to tako the proper care of tneni - solves. Tuerciore I take the libertv of oflerins a le sustentions in ieard to the car.' of persons afflicted with tlio dis ease. In the event of an epidemic 1 suppose an effort would he made to in duce t-ome of the hospitals to care lor tlio sufferer, for tne accommodation of the Municipal Hospital n ould not be adequate. I think it would be unjust to the hospitals to make such a demand, and would ntlviao Chior Brow n to select a site upon which a Vanillins cou.d be erected quickly if cholera Js reported in the country. I w onld also sug jjest tliat liedotail oUiceis toeta libt of physicians and nurses who would bo ". illing toact if tliej are needed. This inav not seem to be neceb-ary now, but till preliminary arrangement li'iat bo made uefoie tlieio is any immediate daiiscr. ; Dr. Dunn also sugcested that in the event of the disease appearing in this city tents Ehould be erected throughout the city, flavor Gourley to tU Pub ic. Mayor Gourley yesterday issued the fol lowing circular which he ordered should be distributed by the police. The circular is addressed to the public. It reads: Your most thoughtful and earnest atten tion is invited to tlio accompanying state ment made by the S ate Board of Health of the Commonwealth of IViinsjlvaniii, and to all of the suggestions therein contained.

AKegli-ny I Not Eehlndliand. "hief Murphy, of the Department of Uc Sa'ety of Allegheny, has issued a lar calling attention to "the threatened tion of cholera. He asks that the y regulations be rigidly enforced, recommends that every man and in Allegheny be the "inspector of vn premises. He promises that ill not get a loothold if the people trious in keeping it out rk of street cleaning was kept up jay in both cities and in both cities authorities were content with the work jey had accomplished. Dr. L. H. Harris, ot Pittsburg, has writ Mi forgei.etal distribution a circular on ne cholera, its cngin and history, its pre tention and cure. The circular is filled with valuable hints, and it traces the dis ease through ali its stages, and supplies in formation that might be valuable should the cholera appear here. Sir. Boll end I-arty Had Wot Arrived. The party oJ Southsiden, of -whom Mr. Xavier Boll, 1916 Carson street, was a mem ber, who had been detained at quarantine on their way over from Europe, had not arrived last evening. He had telegraphed that he expected to arrive at 9 o'clock yes terday morning, but for some reason he and, the rjartv failed to put in their appearance. Mrs. Boll was expecting them any time last evening. GO SLOW ON SOME RECIPES. People Snon'd Not B Too Beady to Take Tp Cholera Kemedies Sulphuric Acid a Dangerous Dru; and Should Bo Used Carefully. People should go slowly in ruing sulphuric acid diluted in water for the pre vention of cholera. A gentleman thor oughly verse! in chemistry said in refer ence to the subject: "Certainly someone must have made some mistake in advising that a couple of table spoons of sulphuric acid be mixed with a gallon of water and the mixture U6ed as a remedy. The man or woman who might attempt that remedy would hardly live to tell about it If it ever got down to the stomach it would play havoc, but it would probably begin by burning the teeth and tongue out It is'well that people should be careful about testing remedies unless the- have a clear idea of what composes them and of the effects of the ingredients. They should go slowly where anything so potent as sulphuric acid is mentioned." A prominent druggist, in speasing oi tne ibject, said: "Sulphuric acid is given as a subie medicine in dilutive form, there being 1 part acid to 16 parts ot water. This dilute form is given in doses of from 10 to 30 drops, three times a dav. I think t e gentleman who has called your attention to the subject did not read the recipe right It probably read one teaspoontul to one gallon of water. The publication of such a Irightful proportion as two tablespoonslul to a gallon to be used as a cholera remedy is too absurd to go by unnoticed by the many doctors in the city. The proportion of one tcapoonlul of acid to one gallon of water would give a two-drnp dose in a four ounce drink. Sulphuric ac.d is present in many waters and appears in others in the form of sulphates nlicu it is poisonous. Dr. Buxton, of London, first introduced diluted sulphu ric acid as a cure for choleraic disorders in 1851, and the remedy received the high est commendation from both sides oi the water. People should not be too readv to experiment with recipes given tlieui. They should first be sure they are right, then go ahead." PITTSBURGERS ON THE OCEAN.

A Keport of TThat I ISelnjr Dona Submitted to a Conf roncp. Mayor Kennedy, Chief Ehlers, of the De partment of Public "Works; Chief Murphy, of the Department of Public Salety: Super intendent McLaughlin, of the Bureau of Health, and the chief cleric oi the Bureau of Highways, all of Allegheny, were in conlerence last night to consider what was being, done in a sanitary way throushout the city. The Chief reported that a large number ot minor thoroughfares had been cleaned dur ing the day. All ot the alleys below Lacock street to the river embraced between Federal and Anderson streets had been washed, the firemen eiving material assistance in doing this. River avenue was also thoroughlv gone over, as was also sev eral streets in "Woods" liun. It was de cided to secure twoboats.with either side or stern wheels, and to-morrow morning they will be used to stir the water at the mouth of the "Walker street and penitentiary sewers. They have become clogged. A letter from Dr. It S. Sutton stated that cholera was not specially a summer disease, but was equally as "formidable in winter; the greatest epidemic of the disease that e cr existed broke out in London on a Christmas morning. The physician claimed that a pure and bountiful supply ot water was better than a century of alley ar.d street cleaning.

Thomas Crawford Will Hereafter Keep Homestead Meetings WITHIN PARLIAMENTARY LINES. The loeked-Out Workmen Listen to couraging Speeches. In- REDUCING THE STKEXGTlf OF THE GUARD Thomas Crawford was appointed Perma nent Chairman of the open meetings at Homestead and Harry Bain Secretary at Friday night's meeting of the Advisory Board. The announcement was made at the large open meeting of the locked-out men held at Turner Hall and was received with general acclamation. This means that all unparliamentary measures which have heretofore been features of the open meetings on account of the lack of uniform ity will be abolished and nothing not in strict accordance with formal proceedings will be tolerated. Yesterday's meeting was of a quieter tone, although equally as enthusiastic as those previously held. The 12,000 locked-out men paid strict attention to the various speakers, and applauded with their wanted vigor. The first speaker was John C Kil gallon, of the Amalgamated Association, who made some consistent remarks regard ing the probable cause of wholesale arrest ot the locked-out men. "It is very evident to me," he began, "that the Car negie firm are making an endeavor to exhaust the money resources of the locked-out men by arresting every one and requiring heavy bail bonds. There is no other way in which they can injure us and thoy realize it As a result they are despoiling homes and making as much trouble as pos sible for each and every man who ever worked for their firm in years and days gone by. But it is aiding us in the estima tion of the people of the country. They re alize, as they must realize, that the Car necie can have no other motive, and as a result, sympathy with the movement is rapidly growing. labTHl Financial Aid rromlsrd. "We will secure more than their sympa thy, we will receive financial aid. The feeling in our favor is becoming more evi dent every day. As it becomes more evi dent so will the fact that we are justly en titled to the financ'al support of our fellow workmen in all parts of the country become potent to them and we will be materially assisted. "Another thing that is shown by this prosecution of Homestead men is that the company's talk about their having plenty of men to "operate their plant is mere brag gadocia. They need more men and they need them badly. They wish to deplete the ranks of the men who alone can Dron- erly operate the plant so they can bring in uiuic ui me Mtuiu ciusi iiiui are now em ployed. I wish to charge you, as the locked out men of Homestead, to preserve the peace and keep your tempers. The com pany, through the militia, through the deputies and through their emploves, have tried their utmost to incite riot and trouble, and at the failure are aeitating the matter as much as is consistently possible. Keep the peace, keep your temper, and you will keep in the position of victory you now uphold." C. H. Carnegie, of Beaver Falls, fol lowed. He pretaced his remarks with as serting his deep regret for the name he bore. "But I couldn't help it," he con tinued, as the crowd laughed heartitv. "I was born that way, so I know you will ex cuse me. "When I came into this world I found the name bad been here before me, so I wore it Came to Ttrlnc Go'hI Xtti, "Notwithstanding this feet I have come to give you good news. It is news and yet it is not news. It is only repeating that which you already know. The men at Beaver Falls are as firmly resolvrd to stand by the men in Homestead as they were when ther first came out, and they may be depended on until the last" Ifev. "W. T. Galloway made a vigorous attack upon protection in its each and eveiy phase, and charged his hearers to support the platform that embraced free trade. Some interesting information about the word "sci'b," its origin and meaninz. was given bv Dr. John Putman. He said he had carefully studied the word and found it was first used by Shakespeare. "The word was used in connection with Ion, mean, paltry fellows," continued the speaker, "who stole the bread from the months of honorable people. It originally had its meaning to describe an iufection, disease among sheep and invariably was first noticeable upon black sheep." Dr. Pulman then took up the matter of the com pany's present attitude. "They will utterly lail in convicting the many men they have arrested. If," he resumed, "the evidence against the Homestead men were as conclu sive as it is evident that boodle was instru mental in bringing the militia here, every man would be convicted." The crowd arose in a body and cheered most heartily at the insinuation ot the speaker. The Carnegie Company is whipped to a standstill was one of the opening remarks made by the next speaker, Benjamin Rogers. "We are stronger than ever," while the company is in distress. The Car negie Company is like the unjust judee who respected neither God nor man, and like him thev will fall and fall most lowly. r S'rrnjrthenlnff til- Men's Cans. "We are becoming more powerful every day. The treatment the non-union men are receiving in the silent contempt is more humiliating than coma be tne most violent treatment The latter would inspire a de sire for revenge; the former fills them with self-shame. I chaige you as consistent, law -.ib ding citizens, and as victorious strikers, to treat all non-union men with that same silent contempt, and it will not be long before they begin to come into otir ranks and leave the Carnegie Companv in the luich where it rightfully should be placed." Mr. Bodeers followed his remarks with a statement that aroused the wildest enthusi asm. It was to-the effect that all Amalgam ated men would be entitled to their dues during the coming week. John Oldshue succeeded Mr. Rogers upon the platform and asked of the great num ber ot Slavs present whether or not it was true thev intended returning to the mill. Every Slav in the hall immediately arose and "shouted "No! no! Never!" and then sat down with their faces clouded in scowls. Mr. Oldshue then made some utter ances about falsifiers who used their power in having their wild iinacining published. J. 'i. Brown next bade the men of Home stead to hold their peace under any and all circumstances and observe all of the laws. "The sentiment is all in our favor," he said, "and it would be very unwise to do anything not in accordance with the laws." This was the concluding speech and the meeting quietly adjourned. Death at the Homestead Mill. Car Julexo, an Italian laborer, met death by suffocation at the Carnegie mills- at Homestead at 2:39 o'clock yesterday after noon. He was engaged in digging a deep pit where a new pump house is to be built. The bank, which was sandy, caved in and covered him completely. He was dug ont within ten minutes, but was dead. There were no bruises on his body. The body was brought to the morgue. Taken by Another Man, "W. L. McGoncghy, Secretary of the Ad visory Board, left last night for Albermarle, Mass., to address a labor meeting there. The departure of the lecretarr was talked of considerably last night, as this trip was the one Hugh O'Donnell would have taken had it not been denied him 'by President "Weihe of the Amalgamated Association. COMPANIES OP 35 MEN. Grneral Wiley Order m Reduction In At' Companies of Five Men Some ol lh.e Militiamen Desirous or Going Horns Others Wish to Stay. General "Wiley sent out nn order yester day to Colonels Krepps and Huling to re duce the companies under their respective commands from 40 to 35 men. The order meets with general approval at the camp, as there are a number of men who are de sirous of returning home on account of commercial duties. Major Crawford said last night that while some of the men wished to go home the majority were anxious to stay until the end. "Tne order is a wise one in my estimation," continued the Major, "as the town can be taken care or by companies of 35 men just as well as a larger number. There are many of the boys who are called home upon vari ous recounts. By them the order ill be con sidered satisfactory. The men who will re main in camp are to be depended upon in case of an emergency, and are anxious to stiy. I do not think the issuance of the order means a gradual withdrawal of the militia until all are gone, for men are needed here until the last." Affairs in camo were very qniet dunngi the dav. But one incident occurred to dis pel the monotonv. That was the return ofi Adjutant Packard with Private Kalvelege' from Mercer. The private assaulted Prof. Ktini, of Scottdale, last Thursday night on the Erie and Pitts burg train for insulting and striking him. Kalvelege was released from the Mercer county jail by the Adjutant going before the Coiirt there and obtaining the private's release upon his own recognizance. The reception to the rifle team of the Sixteenth Keeimentwho won the regimental prize at Mt Gretna, will be tendered them Monday night at Camp Sam Black. Mil CRAWFORD TALKS. lie Contradicts the Corapiny'a Statement IJejfirdlns the Working ot the Plan" Information Gleaned From Inside Sources Thi Strikers' Side. Thomas J. Crawford, the Chairman of the Advisory Committee, made a statement last evening at the Amalgamated Association's healq aarters which he says he will stand responsible for personally. It was to the effect that the mills at Home stead arc doing no good, and that the statements made by the officials of the Car negie Co. are misleading. He claims that the three carloads of finished stuff shipped within the past two days were from old stock. His authority for this statement is that the beams were rusted. The company, he claims, also shipped three carloads of scrap to the Otis Steel Company, of Cleve land. The firm, Mr. Crawford states, has been advertising the fact that they had just fin ished and shipped the last of the armor plate tor the Monterey. He savs he can prove that that plate was rolled before the mills shut down, and that all it needed was the usual trimming. The open-horth furnaces, of which 12 were in operation before the lockout oc cuired, are limited to on just at pres ent It is the smallest one of the lot and is making only ten-ton heats, and only two heats a day. All the others are burnt out One boiler burrt in the armor plate mill on Thursday morning and another went to pieces in the blooming mill boiler house on "Wednesday. Ali ot this information comes from Amal gamated emissaries now within the mill. The report that 800 Hungarians were goiuj back to work is false, Mr. Crawford says, and the Advisory Committee have the word of the superintendent of one of the mills that the plant is not going as represented to the newspapers by employes of the firm. In the new 40-inch mill, the only thing which makes any noise, he says, is the cold saw cutting up the scrap and cobbles. SIDH'I GIVE BAIL. John Fllzslmmoni Ke'rascd Upon His Own ncociifzincs. John Fitzsimmons, a short, stocky man with a sandy mustache, was to have had a hearing before Alderman McMasters at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon on the charge of riot. At that hour Attorney Breck said that the principal witness on whom he de pended was not present, and he would agree that Fitzsimmons should be released on his own recognizance. This was accept able, and the defendant signed a bond ior ?300 to answer in court. J. H. Paul, ot Braddock, who was one of the men locked out at Homestead, and who has since been working for the Westing house Air Brake Company, was arrested at "Wilmerdine on a charge of aggravated riot, preferred by Secretary Lovejov. He yes terday morning gave ?2,000 bail before Alderman McMasters for court triaL SUSTAINED THE SHEKIPK Judge Ewins: I'laces the ISnrrlen of Costs Upon the Homestead OlHclils. A hearing was had before Judge Ewing yesterday on the appeal of Deputy Sheriff Heitz from the judgment of 'Squire Oeffner. The Deputy Sheriff, while dispersing some disorderly women and childen in Home stead, was arresled by Constable "Wall for disorderly conduct. He was taken before 'Squire Oeffner, who fined him. "When he heard the testimony yesterday Judge Ewing's comment was that the deputy sheriff was derelict in his duty in not putting the disorderly women and chil dren in jail instead of dispersing them. He reversed the judgment of 'Squire Oeffner and ordered him to pay back the deputv all the fine and costs collected from him. Con stable "Wall was compelled to pay all the costs of the appeal to court. A HOMESTEAD HOME LOOTED. Depredators Kaln Every Article of furni ture, in n Non-Union Man's Unnse. The residence of Jacob Maples, a locked out man who returned to work, was looted early yesterday morning by Homestead strikers. The labor leaders in Homestead deny that the outrjge was perpetrated by the'locked-out men. Maples a short time ago sent his family away and returned to work in the mills. Yesterday morning he happened into his home and- found every article of furniture utterly despoiled. The lurniture, curtains, bedding, pictures and books wero broken, torn and ripped in most woful manner, and the household effects as they now stand are utterly worthless.

Men and Women Knpel t Pray In the Enst of the Highway. THE! SELE TO AWAKEN THE UNGODLY The qniet little suburb of Verona, up the Allegheny Valley, had a religious sensation last evening. It stirred the village from one end to the other. It set the older resi dents to talking of the days of the "Women's Crnsade and others to wondering if the spirit of the Salvation Army had descended upon the place. There is at Verona a small congregation of Free Methodists. The members of this peculiar sect, which is 60 years old, are few and far between in the United States. They reject the governmental plan of the Methodist Episcopals, but retain all their shouting proclivities, multiplied to several diameters. The members of the Church as sembled last evening in their small frame church and spent an hour in praying and singing. There was present a minister of of the denomination from abroad, a fervant exhortatlonist, who aroused the congregation to a high pitch of enthusiasm. The Church, he said, was sleeping, while the devil walked abroad. Christians must be up and doing if the world was to be saved. Urgent measures were demanded to call the wicked to a sense of their danger. The people of the Church must not sit idle in their houses of worship. It was their duty to go abroad into the highways and byways and sound the alarm to all people. Mrglng Throurh thi Streets. Acting on his words, the congregation formed in line, with the preacher and some of the most forcible singers in the lead, and issued from the church. They marched down the middle of the street, singing a psalm. They proceeded to the business pnrt of the village, where the wild young men of the place congregate in the even ings, and where on Saturday evenings there are sometime particularly boisterous scenes. There in the middle of the street the band of Free Methodists halted, in front of the office of Harry Moore, and again lifted up their strong voices in a ringing old tune. It was something that Verona had never seen before, and men, women and children gathered from all quarters. A great crowd soon surrounded the small circle of singers, and listened and looked with respectful at tention. I'nylncln !h- Street Dust The hvmn being ended, the men and women knelt in the dust of the highway, and the preacher delivered an earnest prayer that the uneodly might be aroused and' turned to the way of salvation. Another hymn was sung with renewed fervency, and the minister then addressed the crowd. His exhortation was an earnest one. He told them they were lost in the depths ot sin, that they were hourly descending lower into the vallev of the shadnw, and urged them to seek the path of salvation before the fatal moment came for one or all. After a stirring address the preacher urged all who heard his voice to come to the services of the church on the morrow, and hear the words of the gospel. Another hymn and another praver and the line reformed and proceeded back to the church, singing on the way. A great crowd followed them, and some entered into the house with the little band. There, after a few words of a-lvice, the preacher dismissed the people with a beuediction. The services to-day are HKely to be well attended, largely out of curiosity to see what new move the Free Methodists will make to excite religious interest in those who do not attend church. THS BILL-POSTING FIQHX The Varley Brothers' Trial Postponed by Alderman McKenna. John and George Varley, the two broth ers who are accused by Manager McCul lough of the Alvin Tneater of tearing play bills out of a window on Grant street, were to have had a hearing before Alderman Mc Kenna yesterday afternoon. The Squire had not been notified, and having several other cases for the afternoon asked a con tinuance. This was satisfactory to all those interested and the hearing was postponed until 10 o'clock to-morrow morning. Much interest is felt in the case, as the theatrical labor troubles behind it are liable to de velop something of importance. The Bijou manigement is also interested in this case. There is an unusually strong melodrama at the Bijou this week "The Limited Mail" which is advertised by more different styles of lithographs than possibly any other play on the road. "When it was found that they were being torn down Mr. Elmer E. Vance wired Mr. Gulick to spare no expense to protect the lithographs. There is every indication that the war commenced yesterday will be carried to the end. WANTED TO BE BIGHT, Ttenson Given to Court for Kenljuing by a Koad Commissioner. Judge Ewing yesterday accepted the resignation of Bobert F. Shannon as Koad Commissioner of Leet township. Shannon stated in his resignation that he was ap pointed March 1, 1692, without his solicita tion. He endeavored to do his duty bat the other two commissioners seemed to con nive together to hold meetings without let ting him attend, not notifying him. A larger amount of money, he charged, was expended than ior many years and no permanent inipnn ements were made. The method ot spending money was not in accordance with the law, and in many respects the law was violated. This prevented the petitioner from filling his place to his own satisfaction and to the best interest of the taxpayers. A he was not even given the chance to record a nega tive vote, he did not want to be responsi ble for the unlawful acts of the others, and wanted to resign. The Court accepted the resignation.

How the Great Millionaire's Wealth Is Invested IN BEECH CREEK ENTERPRISE. The Eanker of His Toyhood Talks of tie J iiammotu Fortune. A I0DNG MAX WHO C0NTEOLS MILLIONS "When W. It Scott died recently he left a fortune of probably $50, 000,000," J. G. Davis, an Erie lawyer, said yesterday. Mr. Davis was discussing W. L. Scott and his fortune. He had been an intimate ac quaintance of the dead millionaire. He was cashier of M. Sanford & Ca'a Bank in Erie back in 1854 when Mr. Scott was laying the foundation for the immense for tune he afterward accumulated. "I may say I knew him as a poor boy and I had the honor oi knowine him when his individual check was worth more, probablv, than any other man in the United States." "What disposition was made of this great fortune at the death or Mr. Scott?" was asked. "That is a hnrd question," Mr. Davis answered, "and the disposition of that vast sum of money is not generally known. Charles Keed, of Erie, is, I think, manag ing the Scott estate. Young Keed is man aging the vast estite ot his father, amount in; to several millions, and, with the Scott estate, he stands one of the richest and most substantial men, financially, in this country. "Bat the Scott interests have not been disturbed?" suggested the reporter. "No. The great investments of Mr. Scott, all profitable, have not been shifted," Mr. Davis said. "The development of Pittsburg tells emphatically that Mr. Scott's money is just where he left it. The tacts are Mr. Scott owned nearly every foot of coal land from Pittsburg to Morgan town. "He was practically the owner of the Nickle Plate Kailroad. He was almost the sole owner of the Beech Creek Kailroad, and that I think was his most promising investment, "I think Mr. Charles Keed stands closely identified with the Vanderbilts and I am confident the Scott millions will be im portant in extending the Beech Creek Kailroad down through Clearfield county to Altoona and from there through Indiana, Cambria, Westmoreland and Alle gheny counties to conneet with the Vander bilt interests in Pittsburg and in that way complete a line through from the East to the West. That in my judgment is where Mr. Scott's millions are going," Mr. Davis concluded. Mr. Scott's millions have already gotten into the courts of Erie countv. In his will Mr. Scott left $500,000 lor iblic improve ments in Erie City. Cha.ies Strong, nis son-in-law, broke the will and the bequests to the city of Erie have been declared off Strong is a New Yorker. He married Annie Scott, daughter ot the dead million aire. -AT- DELP&BELL'S, 13 AND 15 FEDERAL ST., ALLEGHENY. N. B. The prices will astonish you.
