any street, alley, wharf or vacant lot, or any other nlace not authorized as a deposi tors for Buch matter, and a fine of from S10 to $100 or SO days' imprisonment is to be imposed. In this connection Mr. Ferguson presented a resolution yesterday requiring Chief Brown to report the best manner ot disposing of garbage in the Lawrenceville district. At the meeting of officials yesterday some very important matters .were disoussed. Chief Bigelovr was present and had some radical suggestions which will be put into execution. Dr. Lee, of the State Board of Health, was present and commended the action of the officials in high terms, but joined with the others In condemning Alle gheny's bad water and miserable' sewer system. ALLEGHENY'S MISERY. Secretary Lee Inspects und Reports on the Horrible Condition or the TVater Sup plyDisease and Death In Every Drop Danger Tor a Tear to Com. The cleaning up of Allegheny continues, and the authorities seem imbued with the spirit of prevention of cholera. The chief cause of scare now is the condition of the water. Dr. Lee, of the State Board of Health, declares that disease and death lurk in every drop of it; that the cholera scourge and other dread afflictions are at the doors of the people; and that it is only by the most extreme carefulness and utmost cleanliness that disaster in the way of an epidemic can be averted. Drinking water should be boiled, he says, and put to every possible test before .being used. Mayor Kennedy says the nater is poison ous, and should not be tasted. The Mayor yesterday received the loll owing letter, which explains itself: Office State Board op Health i Pittsburg. Pa.. Bept. 11, 1S92. ( To His Honor, V. M. Kennedy. Mayor or Alle gheny: Sir In compliance with a request received from your office jesterday, I to-day made a personal inspection of the water supply of our citv. As the result of m observa tions I am compelled to declare that it is polluted to an extent which makes it at all times dangerous. Ilccolving as it does the "own kg oi a population of about 75,000 of Pittsburg's inhabitants including that or one larjje hospital, in addi tion to tho entiro drainaRO of the eastern end of your citv and adjacent boroughs, the almost stagnant pool from which the water is pumped affurus an admirable breeding place for diseased serais of every kind. A sincle case of cholera occurring on either shoro above tho influent pipe, might and probably would be followed by conse quences too'horrible to contemplate. The wide extent of territory which has lecently been infected by this con tagion in Europe will render this country liable to nn outbreak for a year to come. In tho present threatening condition of affairs, w hen every day brings us intelligence of its increase in the princi pal part of our country, it may make its ap pearance here at any moment. To delay Im mediate efforts to avert such a calamity by carrying the lnliuent pipe to a point above the city, which would auud the introduction of thisgreit flood of flltli into your reservoirs is, criminal follv. I cannot And words to express myself strongly enough in con demnation of such negligence. Nor do I al low myself to doubt that the intelligence of your citizens will support you in any meas ures, whatever expense they may involve, for averting the peril which now threatens them, and it will, therefore, be unnecessary lor tho board to issue any mandatory order in the premises, which, however, it Is pre pared to do, should occasion demand.

Mnssigbrod, of Montana, passed through the city last evening on the limited on his vaj home from Germany. He had spent several week with his wife at Kiel and had returned via Hamburg. "When asked what he thought of that city, he said words, not even the most superlative dic tion could attempt to describe the condition of the people there. "Hamburg," said Mr. Mussigbrod "reeks with filth and disease at the presnt time, and to tell the truth I never knew the city when it did not There never was such a pestilential hole in Germany, and for that matter in any part of Europe. The lowest inhabitants on the lace of the globe live amid the dregs and germs of every disease known to a physician, and the only thing I wonder at is that Hamburg and its entire population have not been swept off the face of God's earth years ago. "A carria;e drive through the streets of the city is about the only thing that could even give you a partial idea of the condi tions under which the medium and lower classes exist there. It seemed to me as if ail the filth of the continent aggregated in Hamburg. It is the only city on the other side that I know of where sanitary regula tions are totally ne;lected. Immigration from that port should be stopped alto pether, for it is only when least expected that the worst form of some dread disease may be planted in New York or some other American port." The speaker was a passenger on the steamer Spree, and vividly described the panic on board d urine the voyage across the ocean and the subsequent experiences in quarantine. Ue said he was glad to be on his way home to a country where he co uld breathe freer air than any in the world. WILL DBIKK E0ILIBG WATEB. This Cholpra lTventative lias Been Adopted In the County Buildings. There have been a number of agitations over the question of the impurity of the water supply in the two cities, but the first official recognition of the fact was taken by the County Commissioners yesterday. Jail Physician Chessrown addressed the following letter to those officials yes terday morning: 'Gentixmex Recognizing the necessity for pionipt and hygienic sanitary measures oer"heie, I would respectfully suggest all flit eis or other lecoptacles for drinking water in your county buildings be treated with antiseptics and thoroughly cleaned by boilins, then filled with boiled water every morning tin u-o." The commissioners adopted the sugges tion at once and it will be applied here after. It is expected this move by the county officers will be followed in all other public buildings, workshops, factories as well as by the people generally. Jinny Immigrants Arrive. Five hundred immigrants passed through the Union station yesterday. They were bout.d for Chicago and had arrived from Southampton on the steamer Britannic a couple of days ago. Station Master Butler and his assistant attended to their wants. Kobody else was permitted to approach them. The Pennsylvania Bailroad Company have issued a circular to its employes to disinfect all cars containing immigrants niter their leaving them, and prohibiting their having any contact with any out eiders. Ttirsn Abused Damp Boats. In speaking of Captain Tree's dnmp boats yest erJay Mayor Gourlcy said: "Those boats are the only outlet for the oftal of the city. The garbage furnace cannot consume the stuff and if Captain Free did not supply the boats for the purpose some other man would have to do it. We roust have the dump boats. The garbage is taken down the river for five miles, which seems to satisfy everybody." Ohio Also Alarmed. Dr. a A Probst, Secretary of the Ohio State Board of Health, sent a telegram here last night to Superintendent O'Mara, of the Police Bureau, asking him If he could con firm the report of a death br cholera at Jean net te. Superintendent O'Mara tele graphed back that the Jeannette report was groundless. M'CLEARY MUST ACT Adjutant General Greenland Declares That Allegheny County's Sheriff HAS MT DONE HIS DUTY. The Troops Are Tired of Staying to Watch Homestead Strikers. MARTIAL LAW WILL BE DECLARED If the Civil Authorities Alone Cannot rreserve Peace. H03TESTEAD HEN HOLD A MEETING Adjutant General Greenland, Brigadier General "Wiley, Colonel William J. Rul ings, Captain Harry Hall and Lieutenant Colonel W. S. Horton, of fbe Sixteenth Begiment, held a long and earnest confer ence at the Seventh Avenue Hotel yester day afternoon, and before the meeting adjourned they decided to secure at once a positive understanding with Sheriff Mc Cleary in regard to the management of affairs at Homestead. General Wiley was authorized to confer with the Sheriff to-day in regard to the matter, and unless the Sheriff agrees to go to Homestead and personally superintend his deputies on duty there, General Wiley will promptly notify the Adjutant General and the troops will be recalled this week. After the conference General Greenland and his party visited the Exposition where they spent nearly two hours. Want to Send tho Troops Home. "We are decidedly anxious to get the troops away from Homestead," General Greenland said last night just before taking his train for Harrisburg. "The troops seem to be serving a poor purpose there. They are constantly subjected to insults and out rages, yet they are not allowed to even de fend themselves unless so ordered by one of the deputy sheriffs on duty there." "How do you propose to remedy the evil?" was asked. "That is just what we were considering at our conference to-day," the General re plied. "The troops were first ordered to Homestead at the request of Sheriff Mc Cleary, who assured the Governor that he had exhausted his authority and was incom petent to cope with the conditions that existed there. As a result the troops were ordered out to support the Sheriff, who has ever since the first outbreak up there evi denced incompetency. The Sheriff Must Take a Hand. "Instead of going there himself to per sonally superintend his underlings, and while he contends the troops are necessary, he still keeps the soldiers subject to the or ders of the deputies. While the civil laws are being broken and outraged the militia must stand idly by without authority to act unless called upon by one or more of the Sheriff's deputies. "We cannot longer support the Sheriff unless the Sheriff makes some effort to sup port himself. I had a conference with him a week ago and he then said pos itively that he would promptly inaugurate a new policy and would arrest and punish the disturbing element at Homestead whether they be men, women or children. 2Jow, we have deeided that he must act at once. We must insist upon his disposing of the disturbing element by arresting them. Jtlnst Go to Homestead in Person. "We must insist upon his going to Home stead in person. He is the authority that we are there to support. If it is then found that the Sheriff's power is not strong enough we will assist him by surrounding Home stead with martial law, after which we will assume all responsi bility for good order and quiet "In mv judgment Sheriff McCleary conid select 25 deputies that would, under his own personal direction, preserve the peace at Homestead." 'Do vou contemplate anv trouble at Homestead?" " "Ko. I am confident that even a showing of authority on the part of the Sheriff would guarantee good order. We have enough troops on the ground now to preserve the peace in the event the Sheriff failed." "Do you seriously think of withdrawing the troops from Homestead?" Troops Anxious to Get Away. "We are very anxious to get the troops away from there, and the troops are just as anxious to get awav, but we will wait now until we see what the Sheriff proposes do ing. The trouble should have been settled long before this time." Captain Hall said that while on provost duty the other day he saw a committee of the locked out men approach sev eral deputies and almost forcibly take one of their number to the Amalga ted headquarters. After the man had been taken away the other deputies rushed to him and asked him to order out his men and rescue the deputy frm the A malga mated people. I refused to act in the mat ter then, Captain H3II said, "because their several deputies had authority to act for themselves and they refused to make a move when the committee took one of their number away. For my own part," Captain Hall concluded, "I am getting tired sup porting that kind of deputies." A QUIET DAY AT HOMESTEAD. The locked-Oat Men Hold a Meeting in the Kink Three, Men Arrested The Troops To Do Taken From Duqaeine New Workmen in the Mill. The locked-out men of Homestead held an indignation meeting in the rink on Fifth avenue yesterday afternoon. Ko outsiders were allowed to be present After the meeting the men would not say what had been done, but it was understood that a number of speeches were made and the men urged to stand fast in their present position. It was re ported that one of the speakers, John Koyle, spoke of Homestead as being the dumping ground of the earth. He is said to have stated that first the Pmkertons were brought there. The militia were next sent in and then the scabs or non-union men were engaged to work the mills. Con tinuing, he stated that the present filthy condition ot the mills would invite disease, and the Carnegie Steel Company would be held responsible for an epidemic of cholera or some scourge as bad. Another speaker, Dr. Osborne, is said to have devoted his remarks to the condemnation of Superin tendent Potter. t Three arrests were made during the day. In the afternoon some man from Freeport, who had been at Homestead just before the strike, returned. As soon as he was recog nized he was assaulted by a number of men. He made complaint to Colonel Gray, who sent down Deputies Ferguson and Bowman. Thev arrested John Fitzsimmons and Peter Moore. Fitzsimmons resisted and the. deputy was compelled to cover him with a revolver before he would submit. Both the prisoners were brought to Pittsburg last evening. William Baird was taken into custody for aggravated riot on information preferred by Secretary Lovejov. Companies E and F ot the Sixteenth Begiment, that have been stationed at Duquesne, will be brought to Homestead to-day. The proposed rearrangement of the Sixteenth Regiment's camp was the talk in the camp yesterday, but Colonel Huling submitted the question to a vote df the troops, and it was decided to make no change itr- the present arrangement of the companies on account of the arrival of the two from Duquesne) but station them on the hill above the others. Superintendent Potter said last evening that the tonnage system was not put into effect yesterday as intended. The change 'will not be made within ten days or two weeks. Sixty new men arrived in the mills yesterday, and the five Amalgamated men, who had promised him to return last Satur day, came in and were given wort, though some were given new positions, as their old ones were already taken. He further stated that while there were nearly 3,000 men working in the mill, only about 600 slept within the board fence.. The others used the-company houses on the outside and on the hill above for sleeping quarters. Thirty-five families now live in the houses north ot the railroad, but within the mill yard. The men went about the town freely yesterday and were not molested. It is intended to issue single meal tickets to the non-union men in a day or two and thus do away with the necessity of going about in squads, as it is thought if the deputies do their duty no trouble will be experienced. . ' t INSPECTED THE BILL. Board of Health Official Examine Into the Sanitary Condition nt Itompstsad. Dr. J. H. McClelland, President, and Dr. Lee, Secretary and executive Officer of the State Board of Health, made an inspection of the Carnegie mill at Homestead, yester day. For some time past the board has beea receiving numerous complaints from Homestead citizens about the sanitary con dition inside the mills. The letters stated that the mill was a place breeding pestilence, and tliev asked the board by their authority to prohibit the men employed there to enter the town of Homestead. These com plaints became so numerous that Drs. Mc Clelland and Lee thought it best, to make a personal investigation. They went in the interest of no one except to satisfy the board what the true condition was. All yesterday afternoon the two gentlemen tramped about she mill and the surround ingjlistrict making a thorough examination. "We found the place in good sanitary condition," said Dr. McClelland. "We did not examine into the condition of Homestead proper as that does not come in our bailiwick. We found that the sickness among the men was not caused bv the sani tary condition of the place, but by the water they drank. Although good pure well water is provided in the mill, they will persist in drinking water just as they draw it from the river. J don't wish to anticipate the official report on this subject which will be filed soon, but you can say that we lound everything in very good con dition." THEY . CONFUSED THE JUDGE. Two Bright lawyers Drift Into a Discus sion on Botany in a Trial Before Magis trate Gripp A Palm Iear Causes the Trouble. An amusing and interes.mg hearing took place before Alderman Gripp yesterday in the suit of De Mortinie, an Italian mer chant of Water street, against the St. Peter Italian congregation of Pittsburg. John Marron appeared for the merchant, and W. J. lirenneu represented the congregation. The claim against the congregation was for 572, for palms supplied for Palm Sun day some months ago. The palms supplied were of an expensive kind and about 1,500 in number. But 'little testimony was taken. The merchant said he had furnished the palms. Representatives of the congrega tion testified that the palms were too expensive. Both the attorneys made earnest speeches. None of those present say the magistrate could understand English, hilt the lawyers talked just the same. Finally they drifted into a discussion of the palm, a specimen of which had been offered in evidence. Mr. Brennen alleged that the palm supplied was for making fans and was not intended for free distribution in churches. This amused Mr. Marron. He alleged that Mr. Brennen was not well posted on the kind of palm supplied to church goers. Then taking the specimen of palm in his hand, and looking earnestly into Judge Gripp's face, he traced the history ot the palm from the discovery ot the first discovered sprout in Brazil to the picturesque fan of the heathen Chinee. In response Mr. Brennen aired consider able knowledge of botany. He contended that the palm was first discovered in the jungles of Africa, and he argued that $72 worth of the article would be sufficient to supply the congregation of the cathedral in Borne. Judge Gripp finally stopped the discus sion by saying that be was not interested in the discovery of the palm but the argu ments had so confused him that he would reserve his decision in the case until Satur day. WITH THE CIBCUS. Forcpangn's Great Exhibition of Brilliancy and Splendor Brr. Adam Forepaugh's show is here in all its brilliancy and splendor. Twice yesterday it held immense audience for over two hours each time and they would have been glad to have stayed longer. The exhibition opened .up yesterday morning with a grand street parade, more splendid than Solomon ever dreamed of. The cavalcade was attractive, but compared with what transpired inside the world of canvas, it was but a drop in the great bucket of beauty and amusement. From a point of beauty and excellence, the great spectacular production, "The Fall of Nineveh" has no equal. The display is perfect and to witness it one cannot help but feel that the author, artist and designer has reached a degree of perfection seldom at tainable. The music is the sweetest and the costumes and armor the most dazzling. The ring and the stage abound this year with new and pleasing attractions. Many prominent American and foreign artists are appearing in Pittsburg for tbe first time. Among these are the Australian rider, John Cozzens; the Bosarier brothers, James Irwin, George Arstingstall and his trained elephants, Tommy and Bobby, the funny boxers and the Yadis sisters, the aerial queens. The closing part of the programme is the great hippodrome track races in nine events. It is interesting and pleasing. The attend ance to-day will no doubt be larger than yesterday. NEW C0MBIHATIOH CABS. The Dnqaesne Street Hallway to Introduce Some Nmt Rolling Stock. The Duquesne Traction Company yester dayreceived from St. Louis a consignment of three new cars. Six more are on the way here. They are a combination summer and winter car, capable of having the Bides removed in summer and replaced in cold weather. It is stated, however, they may need some alterations, being too wide to pass each other at certain parts of the line. In a week or so Colonel Elkins will put a gang of 100 men at work repairing the tracks and roadbed of the Duquesne line, which are badly in need of repairs, and the line will soon be in fine condition. Died From His Injuries. ' Coroner McDowell will to-day investi gate the death of Patrick Golden who died yesterday at his home in Welsh's row, Southside. A week ago yesterday while driving in a wagon he was struck by a Bir mingham traction car. He was knotted from the wagon. His head was bdly pruueu. xic uieu lruiu me enecis. FOR THE FIRST ROUND. Both Political Party Chairmen Are Ready for the Fray. THE FIGHTWILLOPEN TO-MORROW, .Barry Oliver Delegated to Fetch Governor McKinley. WIIITELAWEEID EETUBKB TO NEW I0BK To-morrow the Presidental campaign in Allegheny county will be formally opened by the county Democraoy picnic at Silver Lake Grove. There will be no imported orators at the Silver Lake outing, but all the local talent will be present, and in addition to some few other things there will be a variety of Jacksonian speeches. The Republican leaders will make no effort to open their end of the campaign until after the meeting of league clubs at Buffalo next week. The Tariff Club will go to Buffalo in a body. It was announced yesterday that not less than 130 members of the organization would go to Buffalo,and on their return they will hold the first Repub lican demonstration of their campaign. No Word From McKlnlojr. Governor McKinley has not yet decided whether he will come to Pittsburg to make a campaign speech. He will, however, ad dress a gathering at Washington, Pa., the latter part of this month, and Harry Oliver has been delegated to go to Ohio and, if possible, induce the Governor to 'make a speech in Pittsburg the night following his effort in Washington county. "Has there not been some delay in open ing the campaign?" was asked Chairman Gripp yesterday. "Ko, sir," he responded, with emphasis. "The time for opening the national con test as far as Allegheny county is con cerned never arrives until late in Septem ber or early in October. I am confi dent the people do not want the fight to open before that time. The busi ness people won't stand a long drawn-out fight. It destroys all business and is just as unsatisfactory to the politicians as it is to the business people. "We have had our headquarters opened for two weeks, and we have been doing the work that counts in a fight. Five clerks are constantly at work there, and we have been devoting our energy and efforts to looking after taxes, registration, naturali zation and education. We do not contem plate nruch of a fight in this county, and the campaign will not be oyer five weeks in length." Hopeful Chairman Brennen. Chairman Brennen said yesterday that he had not yet decided when the Demo cratic headquarters will open. He said, however, that the County Committee had appointed all the necessary sub-committees and that all the preliminary work of the contest was being carefully watched. "We have already held several meetings in this county. Two of them were surprisingly large and enthusiastic." Mr. Brennen said, "We have reports of several large clubs being or ganized, and we are perfectly content with the outlook." Both Chairmen seem cheerfully confident, and both seem anxious to have the opening of the campaign delayed as long as pos sible. OH HIS WAT TO HEW YOBK. TThltelaw Held Passes Thronsh and Speaks of the Coming Campaign. Whitelaw Beid passed throngh the city last evening on the fast line Bast on his way to New York from Cedarville, O., where he had been visiting his mother. He had very little time to say anything and as he put it himself be had "very little to say anyway." As far as he could see he be lieved the situation unchanged. The Democratic party were where they had been before the convention. They had made no progress whatever, while the Re publican party had gained much in every direction. The benefits of the McKinley bill were everywhere noticeable, no matter what might be said to the contrary, and the best evidences of its usefulness had been given before now to every Democratic man ufacturer if they would only admit the truth. As it was, they were fighting for free trade altogether, but in the event of the success ot the Republican party, which was pretty well assured, they would readily ad mit the benefits of such a statute law upon American trade. "Let us hope." said the nominee, "that Pittsburg and the State of Pennsylvania will come up to expecta tions." THE PITTSBDBB TABIFF CLUB. It Will Go to Bufljlo In a Special Pullman Train. The Young Men's Republican Tariff Club last night completed arrangements for the trip to Buffalo to attend the National Con vention of Republican Clubs. The matter of distributing the uniforms adopted was completed, and notice received that a large number would go. They will meet Wednes day morning at 7:30 at the clubhonse on Sixth avenue. From there they will parade along Smithfield street to Fifth avenue to Wood street to Libertr street to the depot. The Grand Army Band of 24 pieces will go with them. The train, composed of a baggage car and five Pullman sleeping cars, will leave the Union depot at 8 A. jr. It is expected tbe Tariff Club "will be the most largely repre sented organization from Pennsylvania and among the largest in the country to attend the convention. Republican Marching CInb. The reorganized six-footers' Republican Marching Club held its second meeting at their headquarters lost night. R. H. Her zog presided, and Gorge H. Cowles acted as secretary. Twenty applications for membership were received. The total membership now is 57. Beady to March on the West End. The Conkling Marching Club, of tho Southside, met last night and made ar rangements for its visit to the West End on Thursday eveninr. During the evening the McCandless quartet serenaded the club. CHUBCHMEN TO CONSULT, Pennsylvania's Delegation to the National Council of the Congregational Church. The National Council of tbe Congrega tional Churches of the United States vilj meet in Minneapolis October 12-18. This gathering of ministers and prominent lay men is but for the discussion of the many vital issues with which the church at large is concerned. It also formulates plans for carrying forward with greatest 'success the educational, missionary and evangelistic work of the denomination. Among its more than 00 delegates appear the names of many leading educa tors and ministers of both East and West. The New England States have the largest delegations. Michigan, Illinois, Iowa and Ohio also have large delegations. The representatives of the State of Pennsylvania are Bev. T. L. Jones, D. D., and Rev. Charles Richards, D. D., of Philadelphia; Bev.

Steel Manufactured In Sweden Surpasses in Elasticity That Made In America. James L Gulick, general manager of the Mogul Manufacturing Company of New York, was at the Duquesne yesterday. During an interview with a Dispatch re porter he produced a specimen of Swedish steel possessing an extraordinary amount oi elasticity. It is the product of a trade se cret altogether unknown to the steel indus try of the United States, and one that is being sought after now by almost every manufacturer in the country. It is used principally in the making of springs, nota bly the "Loom," which preserves its elastio nature and perfect condition for an average period of2Ji years. The use ot steel of this character has been largely sought after by electrical corpora tions, particularly in the street car lines, for the past 12 months. The fact ot its ex istence and its peculiar nature is un known to a great extent at present. Mr. Gulick has for a considerable time been looking for an American product equal to the article manufactured in Sweden, but so far he has failed to find it, notwithstanding several manufacturers have attempted to produce its equal. This steel, which is principally in wire form, has a tension power of 17 pounds in the trolly of a street car, which is more than four times that of the ordinary Amer ican steel. Made into a rope six feet long, it possesses on elasticity that permits of its being drawn to an 18-foot length and re tracting to its normal length within a quar ter of an inch. The use of this steel is becoming preva lent among the fire departments ot many cities, and for the relief of horses in drawing heavy loads. An ordinary spring of snch caliber enables an animal to draw four times the average of an ordinary load. Mr. Gulick, who is a brother of B. M. Gulick, manager of the Bijou Theater, was manager of the gigantio electrical exposi tion in Montreal last year. LOST HIS BE1DE. He Thinks She Has Gone to Join the Circus. William Arent, a Hebrew, of Colwell street, called at police headquarters last night to enlist the services of an officer in Sliding Mrs. Arent, who had left him in a summary manner yesterday. Mr. Arent is 26 years of age and his wife is a year yonnger. They were married only a month ago and had just settled down to domestic life after a honeymoon. He is a porter in a warehouse downtown and left his home at the usual hour yesterday morning. He did not return until the evening, and fully expected to find the usual evening meal and be welcomed by his wife, but his hopes were dispelled on entering his door. No wife was there, and what was more, the house was barren, stripped of all his house hold belongings. He began an investigation, and learned that a wagon, probably of a" second hand dealer, had been used early in the day to cart his stuff away and that Mrs. Arent had not been seen all afternoon. Mr. Arent remembered that his wife had onco expressed a desire to join a circus, and as there was one in town yesterday, he jumped to the conclusion that she had gone in the direction of the show. At least he so expressed his fears to the police of both this city and Allegheny. They tried to allay his fears by the suggestion that she had only gone to witness the snow and .would return in time. He went home dis consolate. AMONG THE INJUBED, Those Who Beoelved Broken Bones and Other Injuries Yesterday. There were five accidents yesterday. None of them were fatal. The causes were many. Fbaitk John Prank, a porter at Wise's saloon, at Pike and .Chestnut streets, Alle gheny, was badly burned about the face and necic aDont a ooiock last nignc oy an explos ion of natural gas. He bad gone down cellar to tap some beer, carrying a lighted lamp, when the gas that had escaped from a pipe isnlgted and the explosion followed. Frank was removed to his home and a physician called. At midnight he was rest ing easy and the doctor says he wlllrecover. Deithbioh George Deithrich, aged 29 years, employed at the Crescent Steel Works, while working near the boilers was caught in a cloud of escaping steam and seriously if not latally burned last night. No. 6 patrol wagon removed him to the Homeopathic Hospital, where lie was reported as being in a critical condition. He Is married and re sided on Fortieth street. Demlixsky Stanislaus Demlinsty, em- ployed at Carnegie's Thirty-thirdstreetmill, had his leg broken in two places while filing the lurnaces last evening. No. 5 patrol wagon removed him to St. Francis Hospital, whero it was found necessary to amputate tho injured limb. Ho lived on Twonty elghth street and was single. ALUs James Allls fell off a Center avenuo electi io car on Fulton street yesterday and broke his right leg. He lives 'on Crawford street.

Wise Miss Maggie- Wise and Miss Lizzie Wooster, both of tho Southsido, were in a buggy struck by a Birmingham car on Car son street, last night. Miss Wise was thrown out and slightly Injured, and tho buggy was badly damaged. Hnntlng His Relatives. Superintendent of Police O'Mara received a communication yesterday dated Mauritins, August 4, saying that C. Q. M. S. James Beld, of the corps under command of Cap tain F. B, Drake, R. A., commanding the Asiatio Artillery, had died there-on Janu ary 9 last, and the next of kin shown on his attestation paper was a brother, Joseph Reid, ot Pittsburg, Pa., TJ. a A. Captain Drake says he wrote to that address and re ceived no reply, and he requests the Super intendent to make inquiry. Fought to a Finish. Two young ladies went to the reunion of Post 107 G. A. B, last night at the Central Turner Hall to hava a good time. They got into a rather heated argument about the exact location of a uniformed young gentle man's affections and it wound up in a free-for-all hair pulling match, which ended in tbe street after the young damsels had been forcibly ejected from the hall by an old veteran. They were rather prepossessing girls in appearance. A Piano From TJs Will Fleass Ton.

Dr. Hodges, of Calvary Church, East End, arrived home yesterday morning from his summer vacation which he spent in England. He was held at New York in quarantine two days, but says the experi ence was not in the least disagreeable. "Coming across," Dr. Hodges continued, "the sole topio of conversation was the cholera. We had the reports of the scourge before we sailed, and tbe anxiety we expe- rienced about cases breaking out on board was far from pleasant. Although the offi cers assured us each day that everything was all right, we could not help feeling nervous about the matter, as we knew well that even ii the disease did appear on board everything would be done to keep the fact from the knowledge of the passengers. When we were about 300 miles oat from New York a pilot boat came alongside us and threw us a large bundle ot New York Jiapers of the Monday before. Then we earned of the scare on this side of the water. "In quarantine everything was done to further our comfort There are only two points which I could criticise; one was the steamship company keeping us in ignorance of what they proposed to do with us, which made us very anxious; tbe other was the laxity on the part of the inspectors who weresupposcd to disinfect the trunks com ing from the continent. These officers lifted up the lids of the trunks and sprinkled in the corners only a few drops of some colorless liquid they had in bottles. If quarantine is to be followed at all, it should be done thoroughly and not in a perfunc tory manner. The opinion I formed of Dr. Jenkins was that he was an exceedingly energetic man, trying to do all in his power, but lacked the executive ability to manage matters in'an affair of this kind." Dr. Hodges will remain'home for three Sundays when he will leave to attend the General Conventfon of the Episcopal Chnrch in Baltimore on October C The subjects for the Sunday night lectures for the next three Sundays are: "Church Life in Eng- land," "Oxford Past," "Oxford Preseut.' AfterDr. Hodges returns he will discourse upon tbe great cathedrals of England. Had His 1.03 Broken.
