Killed Ilir XJecimo Ife Ioved Dor.
Mrs. Garvin was lyinj; on the foot of the
bed breathing hravily, and Annie spoke to
her, but she did not answer. She was
dressed in a wrapper, and her eyes were
uide open and rolling; in the death agony.
Prank said: "I killed her because I loved
her." He spoke to her and called her by
name, but no reply came from the lips that
were already sealed in death.
The murdered woman had eaten break
fast about 0 o'clock. Annie said she heard
ot no trouble at all. The wife was dressed
in the wrapper in which she died,
and at the table was in excellent
spirits, kissing Annie and her mother,
and hoping that they would love her as
she loved them, Frank, working late at
night, usually slept till noon, but he got
up at 11 o'clock. He came down dressed
for the street, and bade his two sisters
good-morning. Mrs. D. A. Dailey, of
Bennett Station, a married sister, and her
baby were present. Mrs. Dailey said she
thoucht her brother had gone out, but
instead he returned to the room, and five
minutes after he had been down stairs he
committed the deed. "When Mrs. Dailey
reached the scene of the murder she said
Frank was standing on the bed throwing
his hands wildly and tearing his hair. She
tnld him to calm himself, as the fatal work
had been done and that kind of conduct
wouldn't help matters.
A Terrible 5boc to Garvin's Mother.
The tragedy was a terrible shock to Gar
vin's aped mother and his sisters. At first
they could scarcely realize what had been
done.
Coroner McDowell and his clerk Grant
Miller soon arrived and impaneled a jury.
The inquest will be held this morning. The
post mortem examination was made by Dr.
Guy McCandless. He found three bullet
wounds. In his report he says one bullet
struck -the abdomen, passed through the
stomach and lower lobe of the liver and
lung, and came out at the back through the
spinal column. This hall rolled from the
wife's dress where it had lodged when the
police first picked her up. The bullet cut
the abdominal artery, and she died from in
ternal hemorrhage. " The doctor thinks this
shot was fired while the woman
was standing. The second hall passed
between the fourth and filth ribs, just below
the heart. The bullet went inward and
backward, clear through the body and ont
at the back; and was tound on the floor.
The third bullet struck within halt an inch
of the second, and passed through the body
to the right of the spine. This one was not
ionnd. Chief Murphy has one of the bullets
and the doctor another. Both were badly
flattened. The internal organs were found
to be healthy. Strange to say, little blood
came from the wounds, and there was only
one small pool on the bed. The revolver
was stained with blood from the fingers of
the husband.
Guarded to rrrvent Snlclde.
At the lockup Garvin was searched and
nis valuables given to Chiet Murphy. His
suspenders and handkerchief were taken
from him to avoid suicide, and he
lrequently said he wanted to die. A guard
was also placed over him. That he in
tended to commit suicide after killing his
wife is shown by the following unsigned
statement which he had written on a piece
of pasteboard and was found in his coat
pocket: I send mother a ldss for the last time, and
tell her I love her with nil mv heart and all
tlioiet of tl-o iolks, too. To Mr. Yost, of
the Gazette ofilce, 1 plve my back salary in
rciniu for money lent me. I bid all my
Iolks ana Gus yoodby, and tell Gu, al
though 1 did not rctnru the money, I surely
would havo done so had I been able to. I
hope he will lorglve me. Tell Sister .Annie
1 love her and 1 bope she will iemember
inc.
In explrnation of his crime Garvin stated
that his wife said to him in the morning
that he was too poor to buy the kind of
clothes she wanted. A controversy then
ensued. It is believed that this is what led
up to the murder. Garvin has been the ar
tist on the Commercial Gazette for sev
eral years and his associates give
him a good character. They all
speak well of him, savin; he was quiet,
harmless, honest and a boy of good habits.
He is 23 years old and his wiie 20. He was
Married quietly Tuesday afternoon by Bev.
John H. Miller, ol Buena Vista street, and
the fact was kept lrom his fellow news
paper workers.
Firt News of the Marriage.
MissEedpath went to Chicago last March,
wuere her father, Homer lledpath, had
pone to live until after the World's
Fair was over, when he intended to return.
The girl came back last Saturday morning
and visited her brother, Harry Bedpath, at
117 Clark street in the afternoon, taking
Ganin with her. The folks liked the jouug
man. Mrs. Beehtold, a sister of Mrs. Harry
Bedpath, said vesterday that Cora's
father and mother had not been
informed of the marriage, but that
the girl hau intended during the day to
send them the certificate. Mrs. Harry Bed-
Jiath and her mother went to the Garvin
lorue as soon as thev heard of the shoatlng,
and made arrangements to have the body
moved to Clark street this morning.
It was stated that Garvin had quarreled
with his wife in the Gazette office
Thursday evening, but this is de
njed by Carrie Bedpath, a
niece. Carrie is about 14 years old, and
called at the Gazette office with Cora. Frank
came down from up stairs, and greeted his
wife pleasantly. Carrie says a parade was
passing at the tima, and he "took hold of his
wife's arm and they walked to the door.
From this circumstance she thinks the re-
Eort oi the quarrel originated. Frank and
is wife put Carrie on the car about 9
o'clock and she went home.
Garvin in one of his statements said his
wife and Carrie Bedpath had gone to the
tjostofice Thursday evening. Then he
stopped in a half-dazed way, and said he
didn't know what had happened afterward,
but Carrie could tell. The latter received
a letter irom a young man in Delaware,
which was addressed in care of Cora.
Infatuati d Willi ll Xonnr W ire.
Garvin'6 working associates state that he
hadn't been himself fcr several days. He
was silent and apparently in trouble. They
say he was infatuated with his wife and
loved her deeply.
The Bedpath family were famous for
their beauty throughout Allegheny county.
Before leaving lor Chicago last March
Homer Bedpath, the father, lived on Xogan
street. He was well known here by the
6porting fraternity. There are seven chil
dren still living. Edward Bedpath,
who is a remarkably handsome man,
proprietor of a hotel in Chicago.
?The other children are Fannie,
also married, Mrs. Josephine Spence, and
Laura, Birdie, Sadie and Olive. Not only
are the girls famous for their beauty, but
they are all gifted with considerable theatri
cal ability. Cora, the murdered girl, was
for several j cars a trapeze performer for
Baruum & Bailey. Olive is now traveling
with a company plajing "The Firemen's
"Walt."
The revolver used was a six-shooter, 38
caliber. "When taken from Garvin only one
chamber was emptv, and the police say he
must have reloaded it after he had done the '
shooting. Garvin's family have lived in
Pittsburg lor years. He referred to his
father and said he had been anay from
home for some time. He added that his
mother was beginning to forget one trouble
she had had, and now he was afraid this
nilair would kill her. Garvin's family were
opposed to his marriage, but afterward be
came reconciled.
Itobbed and Beaten bj Hit Brother.
John "Veronic, of Allegheny, was as
saulted on the Junction Bailroad tunnel by
his brother George Tuesday night and
robbed of J-G2. His brother "struck him In
the head with a stone while they were walk

COAL MI SEWERS
"Will Have to Be Abandoned
if Chief Brown's Ordi
nance Is Passed.
A SOUTHSIDE NUISANCE
To Be Immediately Abated Under
Penalty of Heavy Fines.
MAYOR G0DELET FEARS CHOLERA
Will Appear in Pittsburg Within the
Kelt Two Weeks.
FIFTY PEOPERTT-HOLDERS TO BE BUED
Chief Brown has prepared an ordinance
for presentation to Councils next Monday
which will cause consternation to many
property holders on the Southside hills, but
will cause rejoicing among the majority of
residents there and in the city generally.
If passed by Councils it will put a stop to
the drilling of sewer wells down through
the hill into the abandoned coal mines
which underlie it, and which will require
immediate abandonment ot those already
drilled.
As is generally known, lit. 'Washington,
Mt Oliver and the other elevated portions
of the Sonthside have no other sewer sys
tem except these old mines, which have
been made a depository of the waste of
many dwellings and other buildings for
years. Under Chief Brown's ordinance, all
who have drilled down and connected their
houEts with the mines must abandon the
connections entirely within 40 days after
the ordinance is passed.
Severe Penalties to Be Imposed.
Failure to obey will involve a fine of not
less than 50 nor more than $300, and the
same fine will be imposed upon any person
drilling a new connection. "When the old
connections are abandoned the wells must
be hermetically sealed, at the owner's ex
pense, to the satisfaction of the City Plumb
ing Inspector.
"There is an immediate demand for such
a step as this," said Chief Brown last even
ing. "If cholera came here those old wells
would be a prolific ieeder and there would
be no way to -stop it, because the stuff is
beyond reach. There are thousands of tons
of sewage hemmed in those old mines.
Even if cholera does not come, a pestilence
of another kind may be bred there at any
moment and its limit could only be guaged
by the population. Those sewers arc a
menace to the health of this city. We are
making the eflort that should be made to
purify the city in the present danger, but
our work will be wofully incomplete if that
colossal nuisance on the Southside is not
sbated. "We hope that Councils will pass
this ordinance and place it in the Mayor's
hands at Monday's meeting."
Mnyor Gonrley Anticipates Cliolera.1
Mayor Gonrley thinks the people of this
part of the country do not fully anpreciate
the danger existing of an early visitation of
the cholera scourge. He is well pleased
with the cleaning out of the rivers and
sewers when the wickets at Davis Island
were lowered on Thursday. While the
river beds were not made entirely clean, he
says, the bulk of the poisonous disease
breeding filth was washed away, and he will
make an eflort to have the process repeated
every ten days or two weeks, until the fall
rains come to swell the rivers and swiften
the current.
"I feel morally certain," said the Mayor
last night, "that within a few days the
cholera will have anchored strongly in the
City of New York, and I feel equally sure
that within two weeks we here in Pittsburg
will be battling with the dread disease. I
cannot see how it can be avoided. The
cholera crossed the highest range of mount
ains in the world and the great Caspian Sea
to get into Russia. "Why Bhould it not,
then, reach 2Tew York? Half a dozen ships
laden with the disease are lying a few miles
from the metropolis. Nearly every wind
that strikes the city sweeps over those ships
iu its course. The probability of the disease
germs being carried on the breeze is more
than strong it can't be averted. The
sooner all our people awake to a-.realization
of the danger and provide for it by remov
ing every possible invitation to disease the
bather."
Fifty Suits to Be Entered.
The Bureau of Health has a list of about
SO person; against whom suits will be en
tered to-day and Monday it they fail to
obey the order to clean up their premises.
The Street Commissioners also have a long
list of persons who have been notified to
clean up, their lots and the alleys and
streets around them. It they fail to obey
promptly suits will be entered. The lists
contain persons who were notified more
than a weet ago. Only one notice is served,
that being considered sufficient. Mayor
Gourley talked sharply on this subject yes
terday and ordered the officers to bring
suits promptly, regardless of whom they
inconvenienced. The preservation of health,
he said, was paramount to all other consid
erations. Any person who may repeat a
nuisance which the city officials have al
ready remedied may expect harsh treat
ment Eighty German immigrants, who sailed
irom Hamburg on August 10, arrived at the
Union depot yesterday morning, and caused
a sensation. They said cholera had not
reached Hamburg when they left. They
were clean, honest-appearing folk, and In
spector Bayton thinks there is no danger
from their presence. All but four of them
went "West yesterday morning.
Many complaints were filed of nuisances
all over the city at the meeting of the
Emergency Council in the Mnyor's office
yesterday morning. The question of clean
ing up vacant lots was discussed, but not
decided. It probably will be to-day. In
spector Lay ton made his report on what the
railroads.are billing to do in a quarantine
movement No further aetion will be taken
in this matter until the State Board of
Health is heard fromon the question of
authority,

Mayor Gourley yesterday sent a letter to
the Columbus Club in reply to a query re
ceived from that organization as to what
steps he has taken toward the Columbus
Dav celebration. The Mavor in his answer
said he had conferred with Mayor Kennedy'
auu luey uau ucciucu it unwise to aevote
any attention to the celebration during the
present dnnger from cholera. In a week or
two it would be perhaps evident whether
this county would be ravaged by cholera.
It not the Mayor will be ready to partici
pate in arranging for the celebration, but if
the scourge comes there would be no dispo
sition on the part of the people to under
take any preparations.
WAHXS X -a BEOV7N APP0IHTED.
aiayor Gonrley tVritts a Letter to the State
Board of Health.
On behalf of the Emergency Sanitary
Committee, the Mayor yesterday addressed
a letter to Secretary Benjamin Lee, of the
State Board of Health, asking for informa
tion as to tbe city's powers of quarantine,
and requesting, it it would be in accordance
with law, that Chief J. O. Brown be ap-
i .
I '
pointed a special deputy or agent of the
State Board in this city and vicinity.
The letter states that the local railroads
all express willingness to act in accord with
the citv in quarantine matters. The city
officers" believe quarantine stations and hos
pitals should be established at safe dis
tances from the city on the railroads, and
also that hospital cars in charge ot physi
cians should be attached to immigrant
trains. The principal question the officials
desire answered is the law in case of objec
tions from the authorities in the various
counties where hospitals might be located,
and what poveror authority the State
Board of Health has in such emergencies as
to designating locations and assuming con
trol of the stations. The cost and main
tenance of such stations or hospitals and
upon whom the expense" would fall is also
asked in the communication.
CL2AHIN0 ALLEGHENY.
A New CJty "Water Works System to Bo
Discussed To-Day.
Three sets of drop cleaners are at work in
each district in Allegheny, beside the men
at work on the sewers along the river. The
dredging boats have been unable to get far
enough up into the Butcher's Bun sewer,
and a force of men have been set to work
cleaning out the mouth. The sewer at
"Western avenue has yet to be cleaned. It
was expected to have all the work com
pleted by to-day, but it is doubtful whether
it will be.
Since the cholera scare has been on,
talk ot getting the city water at
Harris Island has been revived, and
Mayor Kennedv hopes to put this ques-.
tion to a vote by next November.
"The work can be done cheaper now," the
Mayor says, "on account of the low prices
of pipe and iron. But few of the Allegheny
people nave any idea ot the mna or water
they are rising. There are about 13 of the
city sewers with outlets above tbe present
water works. The water is pumped from
the river below these sewers into the Troy
Hill basin, which has a capacitv ot 7.500,
000 gallons. The city consjmes 22,000,000
gallons per day, so that the water has no
time to settle, and is practically unfiltered.
It the water is taken lrom farther up the
river it will be somewhat better than it is
now, but 51,000,000 will be required to do
it"
Mayor Kennedy and City Engineer Swan
will get out the old plans of the project to
day and look them over. ,

Iu the same car was C. "W. Tyson, M.
Beid's private secretary. He said the can
didate lor Vice President had retired early
because he had been compelled to rise early
in the morning when leaving his home.
Mr, Tyson said everything looks satisfac
tory for the Bepublican partv, and he said
there was no doubt that Harrison and Beid
would be successful. He believed that Hill
and Cleveland would not be able to arrange
their differences. "Cleveland cannot be

KILLED IT MWHALL.
James Brown, of the Sixteenth Eegi
ment, Meets a Sudden Death,
SHERIFF M'CLEAEY AE0DSED.
Coal and Iron Police Deputized and Other
Orders Issued.
AN OLD UW AGAINST EI0T EBTITED
James Brown, private in Company E,
Sixteenth Eegiment, was struck by the
Dravosburg accommodation on the Pitts
burg, Virginia and Charleston Bailroad .at
Munhall station near Homestead last night
at 10 o'clock and was almost instantly
killed. His company was on duty at that
place yesterday, and when the accident oc
curred he was standing on the railroad
track talking to afriend. He was on guard
duty at the time. It is supposed he mis
took the track the train was on, and in
stepping from one track to the other was
struck by the train. He lived five min
utes after being picked up. His home was
at Cooperstown. He was about 35 years
old and unmarried.
Sheriff McCleary went to Homestead
early yesterday morning and spent the
entire day in stirring up his deputies and
urging them to be more attentive to their
duties. The reports of the riots on Thurs
day evening so plainly showed that the
officers were not doing their duty that the
Sheriff began an immediate examination of
the reported trouble.
One Deputy Dlicharged.
He first interviewed General "Wiley and
Acting Provost Marshal Crawford. After
ward he got the testimony of several eye-witnesses
to the disturbances and the heaping
of epithets and indignities by the boys upon
non-union men when they came out of the
mill to get their supper in the town. "What
he learned led him to take decisive action.
One Deputy Sheriff was Immediately sus
pended, and the other officers were given a
severe reprimand for the loose way in
which they had been performing their duty
for some time past. As the force of depu
ties had been reduced from 45 to 15,
the Sheriff at once proceeded to
deputize all the . Coal and Iron police
on duty at the mill. This was followed by
issuing orders to Acting Provost Marshal
Crawford, giving him power to order out
his troons to suppress a riot or disperse any
'assemblage of locked-out men, when in his
judgment it was deemed necessary, witn
out waiting to receive orders from the civil
authorities.
Maior Crawford said yesterdav that had
'these orders been issued sooner the acts of
Thursday evening would not have hap
pened, as he w as an evewitness to every
thing that occurred, and by prompt action
the disturbance could have been easily
stopped.
Last evening as the time approached for
the non-union men to leave the mill to take
their Bupper in the various restaurants, the
locked-out men began assembling in large
numbers along Eighth avenue.
Deputies Down to Work,
The deputies beiran at once to disperse
them, and kept close watch that none of
fered to either call tbe non-union men
names or annoy them in anyway. Orders
had been issued to arrest every man, woman
or child that offered any offense to the men
passing along the street. As two men had
been arrested earlier in the day for that
reason, and as the officers went along with
the men, no demonstration occurred.
During the day four arrests were made.
Jesse Miller, aged 16, was taken in by
Deputy Furgeson for calling some of the
men "blacksheep" and "scabs." John
Boudnro, a Slav, was arrested by Deputy
"Wilkie for the same offense. It is the in
tention to have the men .tried finder an old
law, overlooked until within a day or two,
by which it is intended to have everyone
arrested for such offenses, sent to the work
house, as it is claimed a fine will not apply
to all such cases.
Joseph McMath and George Laflin were
arrested in the evening on 'a charge of con
spiracy on information made by Secretary
Lovejoy. They were taken to the guard
house and will be brought to this city this
morning.
Captain F. E. "Windsor, who was reported
to have been reprimanded and imprisoned
by his superior officers for making the ar
rests of the excursionists on board the City
of Pittsburg last Saturday evening, denies
that he has been treated badly, and claims
that he was simply obeying orders when the
men were taken off the boat by troops under
his command.
A Mots to Incroass "Wages.
Superintendent Potter said that after
Monday next the several departments of the
mill will be worked on the tonnage system,
and the men will be able to earn more than
they do at present. At the present rate of
turning out steel plate it is estimated that
a roller can earn from $7 to 58 a day. The
present output of the mills is about 65 per
cent of that before the strike.
The Amalgamated Association will hold
a mass meeting in the rink to-day at 2
o'clock. Thismeeting is expected to be
well attended, as the locked-out men feel
that the time has come for some solution ot
the present difficulty, and some decisive
action is expected to be taken at that time.
A number of prominent speakers are ex
pected to be present.
Provost Marshal Mechling returned to
camp yesterday after a two weeks' furlough
at his home in Erie.
Brevet Lieutenant H. A. Cotton, of the
Sixteenth Begiment, left yesterday for
Meadville, where he will continue his
studies tor the coming year.
SOLDIEES IN CONFERENCE.
Field Officers Sleet the Adjutant General
and Tallc of Homestead.
Brigadier General "Wiley, Adjutant Gen
eral Greenland, Colonel Hulings aud Major
Patterson met in Pittsburg yesterday and
held a long and earnest conference regard
ing the condition of affairs at Homestead.
The recent conduct of the women and chil
dren there, the military authorities contend,
demands that positive steps be taken.
It was not announced what conclusion
was reached at the conference. "We must
have better order at Homestead," General
"Wiley said after the conference; "the law
must prevail."

George
Ztouchlln, ot Homestead, Arrested
for Acgravated Blot.
George Loughlin, one of the locked-ont
workmen at Homestead, was arrested yes

on the steamer Tide. He was at once com
mitted to jail.
Later in the afternoon his frierrds secured

of 85 cents per ton will be paid by the city
for all garbage consumed, and not less than
30 tons must be delivered each day.
Mr. Smith, in a statement to the commit
tee, said: "The average expense of opera
tion by the city lor the past three years has
been L05 per ton. Tbe fuel bill last month
alone was 800. At our rates the cost will
be reduced nearly 20 per cent AVe also
agree to positively prevent the emission of
any odor" from the stacks."
"When the underground wire ordinance
came before tbe committee it was amended
by H. P. Ford. The ordinance provided
that all wires west ot Grant street must be
put undsr ground by August 1, 1890, 25.per
cent of the work to be done each year. By
Mr. Ford's amendment it must be done by
November 15, 1894, 50 per cent being done
each year. As amended the ordinance was
approved.
The poolroom and pawnshop ordinances
were also approved. The former requires
poolroom proprietors to have good moral
character, prohibits minors from playing in
the rooms, or the running of tables in con
nection with saloons, exacts a license fee of
25 per annum, and requires all poolrooms
closed at midnight The pawnshop ordi
nance closes 'those places at 6 r. M. eaeh

PATE OP BOYS THAT PLATED HOOKEY.
A most pathetic drowning accident, in
which two little brothers, "Willie and James
Peer, lost their lives, occurred at the Tenth
street bridge yesterday afternoon. "Willie
and James, aged 11 and 13 years, respec
tively, are the sons of Frank Peer, a ma
chinist, living at 9 Gilmore street. The
two little boys with their younger brother,
John, attend the Sisters of Mercy's school
on Enoch street. Yesterday afternoon they
did not go to school as usual, bat played
"hookey."
The three brothers about 3 o'clock made
for the river, and as they passed through
the lumber yard from Second avenue,
Joseph Miller, a workman, heard one of
thejboysshout joyfully that he knew a good
place to find crabs. They all ran toward
the river laughing and shouting and pro
ceeded along the bank upturning stones in
search of crabs. ' Miller said it did not
seem five' minutes after this until the
smallest of the boys came running up the
bank crying and screaming that his two
brothers were drowning. Miller ran imme
diately to the river bank, but the bodies
had gone down for the lost time.
Went to His Brother's Bescue.
The three boys, becoming tired of crab
bing, had taken off their clothes and went
in swimming. "Willie procured a log and
was enjoying himself paddling around on it.
The other two bovs remained nearer the
shore. All went well until the steamer
Charley Hook came steaming up the river.
It made a swell in passing by, and one par
ticularly large wave overturned the log
upon which Willie was floating, sending
him Into the water. "Willie commenced to
struggle for his life, screaming to his broth
ers to help him. In an instant James struck
out for his brother's side and reached it,
only to be grasped by the drowning lad and
pulled down under the cruel waters. Little
John, who was standing on the bank, as
soon as he saw his brothers In danger, ran
for assistance."
Jn the meantime, gome people on the
Charley Hook called out to P. Fox, who
was in a skiff some distance up the river,
that two boys were drowned down at the
bridge. He immediately procured some
grappling hooks, and, in company with
John Devin, started to the scene of the
drowning. Hugh Brennan and Charles
Motz, who were coming across the river
from the Sligo Mills, had arrived there be
fore him, and Fox handed them the grap
pling hook. The first time they put down

Two Little Bodlrs, Side by Side.
They were tatcen to the shore where they
were laid side by side. It was too late to
try to resuscitate the little fellows. As
they lay there waiting for the patrol wagon
to come to remove them to the morgue, it
was indeed a pathetic sight- A large crowd
gathered on the bridge and shore and looked
on with moist eyes. Then came the
children on their way from school. They
took a short look, and shuddering, turned
away.
Little John, tbe surviving 'brother, did
not stop until he reached his home, where
he broke the sad news to his mother. Sha
was frantic with grief, and immediately
sent word to the father, who was at work.
At the morgue a sad sight was presented.
The two little fellows were laid out side by
side on the same bier. They remained at
the morgue until late in the afternoon,
when they were removed to the father's
residence. The place where the boys met
their death is a very dangerous bathin
place. The water is about 15 feet deep and
the bottom is full of suck holes.
