Health, stooped off at Harrisburg on his
way to Philadelphia vesterday to call ou
Governor Pattison and Adjutant General
Greenland. He wanted to see the Gov
ernor for the purpose of showing him the
necessity of securing monev to keep the
cholera out of the State. Dr. Lee said it
would be the duty of municipal authorities
to provide the necessary financial and other
means to enforce sanitary regulations in
their cities and towns, but money was
needed to prevent cholera from crossing the
borders oi the State. Dr. Lee failed to see
either the Governor or. the Adjutant Gen
eral, neither being in the city.
The proposed call on General Greenland
ii supposed to have been in relerence to the
sanitary condition in Homestead and vicin
ity. He reported tne Carnegie works to be
in good shape from a sanitary standpoint,
but at Homestead the situation was less
satisfactory.
M ill Hard It Com Inland.
"Cholera may get into Kew Xork," said
Phillip Horrath, -of Paris, yesterday, "but
It will hardly come in here. I have had a
sad experience with cholera in 1866 in
France. Several members of my family
were taken off. My ground tor thinking it,
will not come inland is the fact that Berlin
Is only six hours from Hamburg and Bremen
but two, yet these cities have verv few
cases, it anv. I know Hamburg well. It
is one of the dirtiest cities I was ever in.
The houses there are filled with five times
as many people as occupy tho same sized
houses here. There are about 650,000 people
there and the city covers very little ground

Quarantine.
Charles P. Welte and two sisters, John
H. Merkle and Edward Leisy were passen
gers on the limited last evening; on their
war home to Peoria, 111. They had just
arrived from Kew York, where they had
been detained in quarantine tor 48
hours on the Hamburg Packet Company's
steamer Columbia. The latter is the sister
vessej of the Noraiannia and made her last
trip from Southampton, England, direct,
instead of coming via Hamburg, as she
usually does.
The gentlemen of the party said when
they drove through Hamburg recently the
condition of the city was horrible. Berlin
and other cities were in as cood shape as
any American city is at the present
period. Mr. "Welte' said when they
boarded the Columbia at Southampton
another steamer of the Hamburg Packet
Line arrived lrom Germany with the usual
supply of provisions for the vessel.
The passengers by vote declared that
no provisions brought from Hamburg should
be put ou board, as it would necessarily
compel the New York quarantine authori
ties to detain them longer than needs be.
The Columbia usually runs from New Yoik
to Hamburg and thence to Southampton,
but on the announcement of the President's
order of a 20 davs' quarantine
of all vessels from infrcted ports, the
owners derided to send the steamer direct
to Sonthampton and have her return from
that port
Every passenger on board left his
baggage in England, owing to the fact
that it had been through Germanr.
They don't expect to cct it within
five weeks from now. There was a pood
denl of excitement on board during the
fassase, owing to a belief that the vessel
would be held in quarantine for a week or
tno.
SSIALLF0X AT M'KEESPOBT,
Tho Disease Contracted TThlln Traveling
on a Passenger Train.
On the 10th of last month Mrs. Ehine
liart, of Confluence, went to McKeesport to
visit her son, Charles Rhinehart. On her
way she sat in a seat with a richly dressed
lady who wasflccompanied by a nurse.
Nine days after her arrival she became
suddenly sick and sent for Dr. 'Walker,
who found she was suffering from a very
light attack of varioloid. He treated Mrs.
Ithinehart, and she recovered. Last Sunday
her son Charles became ill. The phvician
has been treating him ever since, and the
disease has developed into smallpox, and to
make certain the doctor called in several
other physicians. It is supposed that the
patient contracted the disease from his
mother, who thinks she contracted it from
the woman on the train.
The house has been isolated and no one is
allowed to enter. The Board of Health
will hold a meeting and take every precau
tion against the spreading of the disease.
The Council will meet to take action in
assisting the board in their work.
CENSURED THE CORONER.
A Coroor' Jury Blames Dr. Phillip for
Not Itrportln; a Death Sirs. Margaret
Prescott, of West Liberty, Dies Zrom
Barns Cnmed by a Lamp Explosion. .
Mrs. Margaret Prescott, the mother of
three little children, was burned to death
at West Liberty on Monday morning, and
Dr. "W. L. Phillips, of Boggs avenue, was
censured by the Coroner's jury for not re
porting the death to the Coroner. Mrs.
Prescott lived in Banksville, and on Sun
day she and her hnsband went to visit John
Trost and wife at West Liberty. Mrs.
Prescott and Mrs. Trost were sisters. Sun
day evening Mr. Prescott kissed his wife
goodby and returned to Banksville to be
ready for work Monday morning.
Mrs. Prescott kept a lamp burning all
night in her bedroom. When she arose in
the morning and had dressed herself, she
blew down the lamp chimney to put out the
light. The lamp exploded, and in an in
stant the poor woman's clothing was on fire.
Her screams called Trost and his wife, and
they threw a blanket about the burning
woman. She a so frantic with fright ana
pain that she broke away lrom them and ran
wildly about the room until her clothes
were burned and she tell to the floor. She
was lifted to a bed and Dr. Phillips was
sent for. He arrived in about an hour and
a half, and applied liniments to ease the
pain. Th" woman died within lour hours.
Justice Byrom, of Beltzhoover, heard of
the death and reported it to the Coroner.
He was deputized to hoid an inquest, which
he did yesterday afternoon. Alter hearing
the testimony of the relatives, the jury
rendered a verdict of accidental death, and
censured Dr. Phillips "for tailing to report
said violent death to the Coroner of Alle
gheny county, thereby violating the law in
a way that tends to retard the ends of
justice."

TO DISCUSS TAXES.
Annual Convention of the
County Commissioners
of Pennsylvania.
THEIR SIXTH MEETING.
Ex-Auditor General Kiles Talks of
Work Already Lone.
EVERY COUNTY HAS BENEFITED.
The nomestead Strike and Its Cost "Will
Be Considered,
ARKIYAL OF MAST OF THE DELhOATES
The sixth annual convention of" the
County Commissioners of Pennsylvania will
convene to-day at 11 o'clock A. M. in
Orphans' Court Boom No. 1. Robert E.
Mercer, Chairman of the Executive Com
mittee, will call the gathering to order, and
will announce at once the committee on
resolutions. The opening of the convention
will be preceded by a meeting of the execu
tive committee at the County Commission
ers office.
Tue convention is 'for the purpose of fix
ing a uniform taxation throughout the
State. The idea ot a State convention de
veloped as a matter of importance about six
years ago. The first of these annual meet
ings was held at Harrisburg in 1887, where
but a few counties were represented, The
following year the convention was held at
Allentown, where the representation was
considerably increased. In 1889, 1890 and
1S91 the Commissioners' conventions were
held in Erie, Williamsport and Lancaster
respectively, and with each meet
ing the attendance grew larger.
Last year every county in the
State but three was represented.
n The result of those annual conventions has
been the adoption of measures for the
uniformity of taxation.
Equalizing County Taxation.
Hon. Jerome B. Niles, ex-Auditor Gen
eral, who arrived last night in the capacity
ot solicitor for the Tioga County Commis
sioners, says there has been nothing
in the way of legislation enacted
in Pennsylvania since its statute laws were
first made known that provoked such
popular tenor among the people as the
working of the Commissioners' annual con
vention. It has reaped a harvest of good in
the matter of taxation, and relieved the
State of a burden that could not have been'
dealt with in any State Legislature. During
the six 3-ears gone bv the taxes of the
various counties of the State have been
equalized to an extent unheard of in any
other State in the Union.
"There is an amount of labor connected
with the work of the County Commission
ers' office," Mr. Niles said, "that could
hardly be appreciated by the ordinary ob
server. In every office the circumstances
vary to an extraordinary extent, and as a
consequence there is an incomprehensible
difference in the conditions existing in dif
ferent localities.
Yt lint the Con vontions Have Accomplished.
"The annual conventions of the Commis
sioners have been productive of one result at
least, viz., the accomplishment of an equal
ized taxation in every county."
After the announcement ot committees
on resolutions to-day, the reports of the
latter and papers thereon will be received
and referred to committee. This portion
of the proceedings is expected to last until
2 o'clock P. M., when the convention will
adjourn. The afternoon session will start
almost simultaneously with the adjourn
ment and general business will occupy the
Commissioners' attention for the remainder
ot the day.
On Thursday morning the convention
will meet at 10 o'clock. Joseph D. Weeks
will make an address on creating a perma
nent bureau of tax statistics. After Mr.
Weeks' speech unfinished business will be
taken up until the adjournment. During
the afternoon a steamboat excursion will be
taken to Homestead and the mills along the
Monongahela river on the City of Pittsburg,
which will leave the wharf at 2 o'clock,
and return at 6:30. The present
condition of Homestead and the necessity
for the retention of the troops in the bor
ough will form an interesting point for ob
senation among the Commissioners. It will
also be a feature of discussion in the con
vention on account ot the enormous ex
pense Allegheny county has undergone
through the hostile attitude ot the striking
workmen toward the Carnegie Turin.
Criticisins Shsrlff AlcCIeary'a Methods.
Mr. Niles and John F. Brosius, of Lock
Haven, the county seat ot Clinton, ex
pressed themselves last evening as being
entirely in sympathy with Adjutant Gen
eral Greenland's theory, as published ex
clusively in yesterday's Dispatch, that
the Sheriff of Allegheny county is largely
responsible for the present condition ot af
fairs at Homestead, and consequently for
the increased taxation of the inhabitants.
At the Monongahela House and Seventh
Avenue Hotel the Commissioners are prin
cipally quartered. Among those registered
at the former house are B. McSimras, J. W.
Lewis and B. W. Harrison, of Potter coun
ty; J. F. English, H. B. Mayer, F. A.
Enrick with D. & Seibert, the Clerk of
Kidgeway, Elk county; J. L. Smith,
E. H. Gregory and H. J. Sassaman,
of Cameron county;. F. L. Magee,
A. A. Gemberling and Lewis Berg, of
Union county; L. Morssina, A. C. Kissel,
John F. Brosius, E. S. McCaul, of Lock
Haven, Clinton county; W. H. Stebbins, TC
H. Bailey, C. H. Dewitt, F. Watkins, with
their attorney, Hon. Jerome B. Xiles. of
Tioga county; George J. Thompson, E. &
Gcrhardt and J. W. Thompson, of
Clearfield county; J. II. McDevitt,
T. A. Campbell and Joseph
Pardine, of Northumberland county. Every
county in the State with the possible excep"
tion ot about a dozen will be represented at
the convention. The absence of Commis
sioners from those counties will be caused
through the holding of picnics and county
fairs.

the prospects of a season of peace from
the South Eighth street law breakers.
Within the last three days five of them have
een place d behind the bars. The police
think there were about 12 members in the
gang, and that they were organized with a
view of committing all manner of depreda

them' to take positions on the bjuff above

McClain began to accuse O'Neil, and O'Neil
in turn taunted McClain about his wile.

A CRUEL REPORT WAS CIRCULATED
Pretty Jennie Andrews, 23 years old. died
ttt Stoops' Ferry on the Panhindle Kail
road yesterday morning of a broken heart.
The verdict 'of the coroner's jury and
the evidence of Dr. Guy McCandless, of
the Pittsburg Health Bureau, who
made a post mortem "examination,
will tend-to show that a rapture of the
stomach was the immediate cause of death,
but the Btorv of her sad life is evidence con
clusive that grief was the primary cause of
her untimely end.
Coroner McDowell was notified at noon
yesterday of the death of lira. Andrews. The
report said the woman hail committed sui
cide by taking rough on ills. The Coroner,
with his deputy, Grant Miller, and Dr. Mc
Candless, hurried to the dead woman's home.
The Rrsnlt ot Constant Grl-vlncr.
After a jury was empaneled a post
mortem examination wasjmade, alter which
Dr. McCandless testified that the woman
had died from a rupture ii the lining of the
stomach. The Coroner's jury returned a
verdict in accord with the evidence of the
Titivfiln'nn Til Ilia arinlnatlnn T)r. Rift-
Candles also found thaUhe lining of the
woman s stomach
tissue paper as a
had been worn thin as
result of her constant
grieving.
Mrs. Andrews was the daughter of John
Scott, a respected resident ot Moon town
ship. Just a year ago, al'ter a short court
ship, she was married to John Andrew.
The union was opposed by the young
woman's parents, but she seemed violently
in love with Andrews and the marriage
took place at the home of the bride.
The day following the marriage young
Andrews disappeared. He said nothing of
his going. He walked away without a word
with his young wife and he has never been
heard of since. As thouih tne earth had
swallowed him he was lost to his former
iriends and acquaintances.
Watching for II -r .tbent Hnsband.
Day and night the young wife watched
and waited for her missing husband, but
constant as was her vigil time brought to
her continued disappointment. She re
fused to be comforted. She could eat noth
ing to sustain her. She was frequently
afflicted with fainting spells and was often
unable to leave her bed.
On Sunday last Mrs. Andrews was taken
suddenly and severely tick. Violent vomit
ing followed the first sickness. While
straining the woman completely collapsed.
A physician was summoned. After in
quiring into the case, the physician ad
ministered medicine which gave the woman
temporary relief. Death followed, however.
The parents of the dead woman are greatly
distressed over the untimely end ot their
daughter They felt outraged that the re
port that she had committed suicide had
been circulated.

TIRED OF A WIFE'S WHIMS.
James Tripp, of Allheny County, One
to ChioHgro to Get a Divorce Hn 70
Yearn Old, bnt Uopti to Lose the
Woman H lla tov-d for GO Yar.
Chicago, Sept. 13. 'frvciar. It is not
often that a man 70 years old seeks legal
separation from his wile, but such is the
case of James Tripp, of Allegheny county,
Pa. In his bill for divorce, filed in the
Circuit Court here to-day, Mr. Tripp says
he was married to one Jane, in 1846, ami
lived with her near Pittsburg until the
middle of February, 1887.
At that time the old gentleman claims his
wife came to Chicago to visit a sick
relative. The noise and bustle of the city
seemed to greatly nfleot the wife, who at
the time was 60 years of age. She wrote
her husband that there was no place like
Chicago, and the gay whirl of city life bad
completely captivated her.
Mr. Tripp, however, preferred the conn
try life of his old home, and in a rather
sharp letter advised his wife to return. To
this letter a prompt refusal was given, and
Mrs. Tripp declared that husband or no
husband she would not be content to end
her days in her country home. The hus
band waited patiently, hoping his wife
would soon change her mind, but failing to
convince her ot her duties he came here and
applied for a divorce.
To The Dispatch correspondent thevold
man said to-day: "I hate to take this step,'
but for five years I have waited in vain tor
Jane to get over her foolish whims. I am
an old man "and expect to live but a few
years, but I hope to return to Pittsburg
divorced from the woman I have loved for
nearly 50 years. "
