siding at Rankin. 'A temporary hospital
will be erected there if it is found neces
sary.
Dr. K. M. Sands has been selected to at
tend the quarantine at .Rankin. The rail
road company will hare a physician to
assist him and" to attend the patients taken
off the cars. Another physician and one of
the experienced sanitary police will ac
company Dr. Sands through and assist him
in the inspection of passengers. The rail
road company will notify the city officers
ten hours In advance ot the approach of
immigrant trains.and it is probable that the
inspection officers will go oat as far as
McKeesport to meet such trams, in order to
economize time in their work. The Balti
more anil Ohio officers say they only bring
immigrants through this city on Mondays,
Wednesdays and Fridays. The first in
spection will be made to-day. At the Ran
kin quarantine a supply of disinfecting
materials will be placed and used on the
clothing and baggage of immigrants on such
trains as show evidence of disease.
All to Be Cared For.
For those taken from trains comfortable
cots, food and medical attendance will be
fully provided. No Immigrants will be
brought to the Baltimore and Ohio depot on
Smithfield street Those going West, and
not detained at quarantine for cause, will
be sent out over the Wheeling division from
Gienwood or over the Junction road to the
Pittsburg and Western division, according
to their destination.
It is expected similar arrangements will
be effected with the Pennsylvania Railroad
officials to-day. The Mayor and Chief
Brown called twice at Union station yester
day but Superintendent Pitcairn and
Assistant Superintendent Trump were both
out of the city and there was no oue to act
in their stead. Mr. Trump is expected
home this morning and will be visited by
the city officers at once. The Pennsylvania
Company is now conducting an iuspection
and fumiiration of immigrants and sars at
Jersey City and Philadelphia.
The Pittsburg and Lake Erie Company
have arranged to use Rankin station as a
quarantine station in connection with the
Baltimore and Ohio. Immigrants on that
line will be taken through the city without
stopping after disinfection and examination
at quarantine.
Another step decided upon by the local
officials is to supply all the police stations
and patrol wagons in the city with a pre
pared cholera remedy for immediate use.
Drs. McCaudless, Sands and Mover selected
a formula yesterday similar to Squibb's
dianlicca mixture, consisting of opium,
laudanum, capsicum and alcohol. It is to
be administered for the temporarv relief ot
any cholera patient who may fall into the
hands of the police until a physician can
reach him.
A Hospital Ordered.
The erection ol a temporary cholera hos
pital on the Municipal Hospital grounds
in the Eleventh ward was onlered yester
day. Work will be commenced to-day.
The buildins will be 30x79 feet, cost $700,
and will be built of pine boards lined with
heavy paper and canvas. It will be sup
plied with cots and other necessaries, and
will be ready for patients by Sunday niorn

Superintendent Baker Called Down.
Chief Bronn yesterday gave Superin
tendent Baker, of the Health Bureau, a
se ere rating as a sequel to that adminis
tered by the Mavor on Wednesday. Mr.
Baker was notified that he must be more
exacting in the requirements of his bureau
and devote his attention to abating, not de
fending nuisances. The lesson evidently
had its effect. Last evening Superintendent
Baker entered suit agaiiiBt Henry Turner,
colored, for violating an ordinance by
dumping garbage on the Red Pond dump.
The cae will be heard before Alderman
It'chards, and Rev. Knox, who was Mr.
Baker's accuser at Wednesday's conference,
will be one of the witnesses against the de
fendant. BATHEE MYSTEBIOTJS CASE.
A Woman Seized With a Violent Attack of
1'nrginjr at the Union Depot.
Ycsti rday morning Mrs. Crane, a Chicago
lady bound for Washington, was attacked
with neuralgia of the breast at the Union
depot Dr. Herron was called, and had her
removed to the West Penn Hospital. Last
evening she had so far recovered as to be
"able to resume her journey to-day.
A thrilling account of the excitement the
lady's illness had caused amonz the passen
gers in the depot under the supposition
that she had cholera was written yesterdav,
when as a matter ot fact hardly 10 people
knew she was sick. The G. A. R. men
and others going to Washington were
t o hunsry to notice anything but look
a ter their breakfasts.
However, another woman at the Union
depot yesterday morning was suddenly
seized with a violent attack of purging. A
colored messenger was sent down Penn
avenue to get a physician. It was early,
and not many ot the doctors were up. Sev
eral to whom the messenger described the
symptoms declined to go. It is not
known what became of the lad v.
The officials around the depot at
first denied there was such a case, but
finally admitted that the woman bad a
severe attack of cholera morbus. They
couldn't say where she had been taken, but
friends had her removed. The few persons
who saw the woman have a suspicion that
she had the cholera, and the doctors who
heard of the symptoms thought there was
too much mystery about the case.
The lacts were related to Chief Brown
last night, and he said he would have the
case looked up. He thought it strange that
the messenger was not sent to Central sta
tion tor a doctor rather than lookibr one
on Penn avenue. Dr. Herron, who at
tended Mrs Crane, was asked if he saw the
second woman. He said he had not

A special meeting of the Thirty-fourth

provide sanitary measures for the school

"Dugan, a member ot the board, after
the meeting denied entirely the story pub
lished a few days ago that a proposition had
been made to purchase the school property
by Father Cosgrave for an annex to his
parochial school. Mr. Dugan said there
was no thought of abandoning the school,
that it had nearly as large an attendance as
last year, employed as many teachers, and
the board would not consider a proposition
to sell it

MONEY MUST BE
HA
To Carry on the Fight of the
State Board of Health .
Against Cholera.'
AN APPEAL TO CITIZENS.
Secretary Lee Is Bustling for Funds
in Philadelphia.
IMMEDIATE ACTION IS HEEDED.
Dr. McClelland Deplores the Helplessness
of the Eoard.
MOYABLE HOSPITALS TO BE BOUGHT
The State Board of Health has a big job
on its hands to keep cholera out of Penn
sylvania, and the members haven't a cent
of money with which to do the work. Dr.
J. H. McClelland, the loeal representative,
was in a disgruntled mood last evening.
He realizes the gravity of the situation,
but he says until money is raited nothing
can be accomplished.
"I haven't heard from Dr. Lee to-day,'"
he said at the Homeopathic Hospital last
night, "and I don't expect to receive a tele
gram until to-morrow. It is a disgrace that
Pittsburg people must pay for inspections
of trains that should be made by the State.
The local board cannot act beyond the
limits of the city, but we can get around
the law by appointing Chief Brown a State
inspector, and deputizing all the inspectors
and employes. Then they are working
under the authority of the State Board, and
their regulations can be enforced.
"When Dr. Lee was here on Sunday we
talked over the situation and discussed
plans for raising money. The doctor re
turned to Philadelphia, intending to appeal
to the Governor and the people of the
Quaker City. Governor Pattison is not at
home, and I do not know what success he
has had with the second plan. It was ar
ranged if nothing could be done to call a
special meeting of the board at Harrisburg
and appeal to the people of the State to
loan money to fight the cholera, with the
hope that the Legislature will return it
Ills Pertinent Question.
"Was there ever a more humiliating
spectacle for our people?" he went on.
"Here is a dreadful disease menacing us,
and the health authorities are without the
means to ward it off I may say to the
people of Pittsburg and the State that
every cent of money paid lor precautions
taken against the scourge will amply repay
them. I expect some cases to occur here,
but we will not give up in despair. If we
had had the money like the Ohio Board we
could have had the State districted and all
the inspectors appointed by this time. We
have already arranged by telegraph for
movable houses and hospitals. They
were used successfully at Johns
town. U.hey could be located
where desired in a few days, if we only had
the money to buy them. This must be ob
tained first I haven't any idea what peo
ple will do the work of inspection on trains,
but my idea was to have physicians board
immigrant trains for the present, say at
Johnstown, and examine the people coming
in. It the disease became epidemic, then
all trains would be inspected and possibly
quarantined. The measures that the Pitts
burg authorities will take to protect the
city will be sanctioned by the State Board.
Favors a Floating Hospital.
"At the conference I suggested that a
floating hospital should be provided by the
city. Many objections were made, the
chief one being on accounfof the danger to
the people living below. I pointed out
that it made no difference whether the
garbage from cholera hospitals was dumped
into the sewers, or into the river in the first
place. The sewers would carry it there
anyhow. Chief Brown concluded he would
rather use the ndw engine house for the
downtown district I am sorry that I can give
no difinite information for the State Board
of Health to-night; you see the predicament
we are in. Over in Ohio they have the
money, a nd have made all their arrange
ments. We must have $50,000, and the
people will never regret it"
The doctor then turned to pay his nightly
visit to the sick in the Homeopathic Hos
pital Colonel Slack listened to the con
versation and indorsed the plan of buying
movable hospitals. He said he had seen
them used in the South during an invasion
of yellow fever and the people couldn't
have gotten along without them. If they
can be obtained thev will be placed along
the railroads at different points and all
cholera patients confined in them at once.
Dr. McClelland said the State must pro
vide an asvlum for peonle afflicted with the
cholera. Colonel Slack remarked that if
the disease broke out in Pittsburg he did
not think they would admit cases to the
Homeopathic Hospital. It certainly would
not be done unless it couldn't be helped,
and then tbey would be placed in one part
of the house away from everybody else.
Talking From Kxperlence.
Dr. Sbaw, the elder, had an experience
with cholera when it was the plague of the
city in 1851, and in six weeks a great many
died. Someone remarked to him yesterday
that he thought too much fuss was being
made about the disease. "Ho," replied the
doctor, "you have never seen its ravages as
I have. Too much can't be done to keep it
away. In 1854 the death rate, as nearly as
'I remember, was about 100 per day for two
weeks, and we couldn't get wagons enough
to haul away the bodies. The city was
small then and its sanitary condi
tion was very bad. Downtown there
was considerable marshy land and pools of
water that have been removed since. Pitts
burg is in much better shape than in 1854,
and prepared to fight the disease."
J. R. Thompson, the State Inspector in
Western Pennsylvania, was asked yester
day what he was doing. He said he had
received several telegrams during the day
from Dr. Lee, but he was not inclined to
give their contents. It was suggested that
the State Board of Health appeared to be
inactive. "That is not so," he replied.
"The board is doing a gTeat deal to keep
out the disease. I attended the conference
with Mayor Gourley and others to-day. My
work, however, will be with the counties in
the western part of the State. Pittsburg
is able and willing to take care of itself",
and somebody must look after the country
districts. You see I have my hands full,
and it takes some time to make all the ar
rangements needed.
Physicians on Trains.
"I have nothing to do with the city in
spectors. Twelve years ago when a cholera
invasion was threatened a number of physi
cians were appointed to travel on the trains
and examine all the passengers. If a man
got off a train and took another, he was
turned over to and watched by the inspec
tor on that train. In this way passengers
were guarded from place to place, and their
location aud condition were always known.
I think the plan of issuing quarantine cer
tificates is the best, and when passengers
are given to understand that they cant pass
without them, immigrants especially, they
will be careful to have them and made out
properlv. If cases of cholera are discovered
on a train they will be isolated. The certi
ficates' will be inspected at certain points
along the road."
"But when will the board begin inspec
tion of trains?" was asked.
"I understand they are watching trains in
the East Will baggage be fumigated here?
I don't know. That will depend on the
necessity of the case. All the work of dis
infection is now being done at the porta of
entry."
Philadelphia Alarmed.
A telegram from Philadelphia yesterday
stated that the announcement that cholera
had made its way into the heart of New
York was received by the members of the
Board of Health while they, in company
with the International Health Committee,
Director Beitler and Mayor Stuart, were at
the Lazaretto. Word was received from
the City Hall giving a few of the particulars
ot the discovery, and,- while no action was
taken at the time, the new danger was in
formally discussed from every standpoint
Dr. Shakespeare, the port physician who was
present at the time, said that the Philadel
phia health authorities had implicit con
fidence in the ability of the New York peo
ple to deal with the disease. Director
Beitler, when asked as to the feasibility of a
system of quarantine between Philadelphia
and New York, said:
"I consider it not only feasible and prac
ticable, but of the utmost importance that
some form of quarantine should be estab
lished between the two cities. Cholera de
pends for its life upon the distribution of
its germs from person to person, and place
to place. To counteract that possibility of
distribution to the utmost is what must De
sought. An absolute quarantine is impos
sible, but many measures may be taken and
plans be effected by which the transmission
of infection from "other points hern may be
impeded, if not effectually checked. The
channels of ingress into the city might be
reduced, and such points of entrance lett
open only when tt would be possible
to establish a quarantine depot with vigi
lant inspectors and doctors stationed
therein. Already considerable has been
done, bu. the dreadful discovery of cholera
raging in New York will undoudtedly
hasten the carrying out of the plans that
have been under consideration."
Dr. J. B. McClelland said it was foolish
for people to become excited. He stated
that during the reign of the grip 2,000
people died in Pittsburg, and yet most men
iaughed at the disease. He added that
typhoid fever and black diphtheria are as
much to be dreaded as cholera and are aB
deadly, but Americans have become so used
to these diseases that they do not fear them
very much. Still he would insist ou all
precautions being taken.
Physicians through the boards of health,
etc., usually keep posted all over the
country. They write to each other about
diseases, aud often know a great deal that
is held from the public A reputable physi
cian said yesterday that he had met recently
several doctors who had come from Minne
sota. They told him they knew of several
cases of cholera in that State among immi
grants who had come in by way of the
fakes. The health authorities are aware of
the existence ot the disease, but are keep
ing the facts quiet The doctors are afraid
that the cases are more than sporadic, and
that the germs will lie dormant during the
winter and break out in the spring. A
number ot people are afraid ot a cholera
scourge next summer.
Tho Plague in Havana.
The same physician who furnished the
above information stated that a few days
ago he had received a letter from one of
the health board ot Havana, who is also
consulting doctor for a line of steamers
running between Cuba and the United
States. The friend writes that the Russian
pestilence, as he calls it, is raging in Ha
vana, and the authorities are suppressing
the truth. He says nothing about the
deaths, but states that a great many peoule
are sick with the disease. The doctors are
badly overworked, and all who can get
away are leaving the country. Havana
is well adapted for the development
of cholera. The weather is warm, the
streets are narrow, the city is without any
system of sewerage, garbage is not removed",
and to crown all the city has a large poor
quarter in which many destitute people are
crowded. In oue section of the town about
30,000 Chinese live, and it is expected that
the disease will work havoc among them.
So that while New York is beiug watched
it would be well not to forget Havana also.
USING DISINFECTANTS FREELY.
The Pennsyrtania Fumigating Immigrant
and Baggage Cars Meubenville Ready
to Establish Quarantine A Large Num
ber of Old Soldiers Going to Washington.
The Pennsylvania and Baltimore and
Ohio officials stand ready to help the State
Board of Health and carry out their sug
gestions. They have no objections to the
inspection of trains. Large quantities of
disinfectants are sprinkled around
the Union depot and in the baggage
rooms. The fumigating material is
scattered freely in the immigrant and bag
gage cars. The men claim that the fumes
of the fluid will kill cholera germs in the
clothing and around trunks. There is a
strong odor of carbolic acid in the stuff,
whatever it is. No orders were issued by
the Pennsylvania road last evening.
Outside of the use of disinfec
tants, nothing else" is being done
by the road here. Baggage is not opened,
and the men question whether they have a
right to unlock trunks and grips.
A telegram from Steubenville last night
stated that Dr. Thomas Walker, local
deputy for the State Board of Health, re
ceived a telegram in the afternoon, inform
ing him to hold himself in readiness to
search all trains coming west over the Pan
handle from Pennsylvania. He will be
stationed on the West Virginia side of the
river, aud all cholera victims, should they
appear, will be kept out of the State. A
Bite for a hospital is being looked up.
If the cholera scare is keeping away from
Washington Eastern G. A. R. men it is not
having the least effect on the Western
veterans. All the trains from the West
these days are crowded with them, aud
when they arrive in Pittsburg they are as
hungry as wolves. Baggage Agent Jenkins,
of the Pennsylvania, says judging from the
amount of baggage his men are handling
that the gathering at Washington will be
one of the largest in the history of the
country in spite of the cholera.
Another Sleeting of Local Officials To-Day.
The Mayor, chiefs of departments aud
city physicians will meet this morning to
arrange further for cholera preventions and
remedies. A selection of the doctors and
nurses tor the various temporary hospitals
will be made, and if the quarantine on the
Pennsylvania Railroad is effected a corps of
doctors to attend to it will be selected.

MAY GO BACK TO-DAY.
Homestead laborers Want to Retnrn
to Work in the Mill.
THE COMPANY ASKED FOR TEEMS.
Everyone Coming Into the Borough Must
Be Yaecinated.
COLONEL KEEP'S PLEASANT SURPRISE
The first big break in- the Homestead
strike will probably occur to-day. The
Hungarian and' other foreigners are grow
ing tired of the inactivity and financial
famine. Daily in small numbers they are
going back to the mill, but still there re
mains a vast army of these laborers who
have not the courage to take the step indi
vidually. They want to go back to the em
ploy of the Carnegie Steel Company as a
body.
Yesterday circulars printed 4in both the
Hungarian and Slavonic languages were
scattered among the men of those nation
alities in Homestead. The handbills told
the men that a meeting would be held this
morning at' 9 o'clock at City Farm lane and
Third avenue. This was not all that
was done. A committee from
the ranks of the foreigners waited
on the company yesterday morning. It
asked that a representative be sent to the
meeting and give him power to explain to
the men on what terms they be taken back
into the company's employ. The firm
agreed to this. Treasurer Curry will prob
ably be the man. The meeting is to be
open aud interpreters will be present to ex
plain the firm representative's remarks. It
was impossible last night to find what terms
the company would offer to their old em
ployes. The Foreigners Want to Work.
From outside sources it was learned the
foreigners were willing to go back on
almost any basis the company should choose
to establish. It is altogether probable that
the men will nearly all get positions. They
have been inoffensive parties in the fight,
having been governed by the other men.
When this move of the laborers became
known to the Advisory Board, it was some
w hat of a surprise. They have been trying
hard to hold thee classes in line, and so far
have succeeded fairly welL Last night the
Advisory Committee members weredonnin
the foreign quarters working hard among
the men. All sorts of promises were being
made, but it is not thought that these mis
sionaries did a great deal of good. The men
want to returu to their labors and a regular
supply of food. One of the officers of the
national guard said last night that a couple
of leaders of the Huns and Slavs were
weekly being paid $20 for their services in
holding the men together, while the rank
and file occasionally were given $1 or 52.
Ever one Must Be Vaccinated.
The strikers are going alter the company
on a new tack. Early in the week a mass
meeting ot Homestead citizens was held
aud a committee of five of them appointed
to prevent the spread of fever or choleEa in
Homestead. The committee sought legal
advice on the question. After considerable
rummaging a musty, moth-eaten ordinance
that was given birth about the time
of Homestead's incorporation was found.
It gives the borough "unlimited power in
the preventing of epidemics in any way it
chooses. A physician advised the commit
tee to use vaccination aB a weapon. Yester
day the town's burgess issued a
proclamation ordering that everyone
coming in or going out ot Homestead
should be vaccinated. To-night the counoil
will meet and the stand taken by the
borough's executive will then be approved
or the order revoked. In all probability
the town dads will give their approval. If
this order goes into effect all the present
employes ot the mill will have to be
vaccinated before they .can come into Home
stead. This will not keep them out.
Do Not Think They Will Do Withdrawn.
Neither Colonels Kreps nor Mechling nor
Major Crawford give much credence to the
story sent out from Harrisburg couceruing
the removal ot troops next Thursday. Major
Crawford thinks that had Adjutant General
Greenland any intention ol withdrawing
the guard, he would not give it publicity.
The major thinks the soldiers will be grad
ually taken away. This will be done by
reducing the companies five men at a time.
The Advisory Board issued another state
ment yesterday. It think the return of
John Rattigan, the roller, to the mill will
not influence others to return. It also says
he cannot fill the place of Roller Jamison,
who is now absent from the mill, ill with
fever. On the subject of fever it dwells at
great length, aud contends that there is a
scourge ot this disease in the works. Con
cerning the company's purchasing of John
Cox's property, ft "seems to be overjoyed.
The writer of the statement thinks
this in the end will benefit
the strikers. The rumor that the
troops are to be taken away from
Homestead is treated in this wise: "The
proposed removal of the militia, while grati
fying to citizens of Homestead as evidencing
that the Government does not believe a
lawless propensity continues here, need not
occasion any alarm to the Carnegie firm or
its new employes for none of them will be
molested in the future."
George Champineaux Arrested.
George Champineaux, one of the Home
stead strikers charged with conspiracy be
fore Alderman McMasters by T. F. T.
Lovejoy, was arrested at Braddock by Con
stable Breslin yesterday alternoon. He
w as brought to the city and waived a hear
ing for court In default ot $1,000 bail he
was committed to jail. '"'
There was a pleasing little gathering at
Colonel Kreps' headquarters last night It
was the thirty-first anniversary of the
Colonel's entrance into military circles.
The staff, field and line officers
commemorated the occasion by making
Colonel Kreps the recipient of several
handsome presents, consisting of a silver tea
service, an oak table, a handsome carpet,
hatrack and several other articles. Tney
were all tastily arranged in the Colonel's
tent while he was down at brigade head
quarters. He was brought up and
was surprised to find all his offi
cers in front of the quarters. In a
neat speech, Captain Davis presented the
gift Colonel Kreps was so overcome with
pleasure he was unable to respond. The
anniversary closed with a banquet, and the
Colonel and the Fifteenth Regiment were
handsomely toasted. Lieutenant Colonel
Mechling was master of ceremonies.

sgwiEWiMKE!
HE ANTICIPATED THEM.
Young Mr. McAllister Confesses to Hay
ing Danced at a Picnic He Is Cen
sured and Is Then Ordained a Min
ister. Rev. David McAllister, Jr., was ordained
in ?he Eighth Street Reformed Presbyterian
Church, and no charges of misconduct were
made against him. When the Presbytery
had Deen 'called to order by the Moderator,
Rev. Daniel MaTtin, Mr. McAllister asked
for the privilege of the floor. He said his
personal conduct had been discussed in the
newspapers, and he desired to lay the faots
before the people Interested.
The young minister then admitted that
he had'gone to a picnic at Bakerstown on
July 4, and that he had participated in the
dan'oing.
The Moderator placed the matter before
Presbytery for action. A motion was
made to refer the question to the Central
Board, and that the ordination be post
poned until the next regular meeting of
Presbytery in October.
This brought out some little discussion
and the motion was lost The following
resolution was then adopted:
llesoved, That David McAllister, Jr.,
haying made a confession of his guilt in the
matter charged against him, and having ex
pressed sorrow at the same and promised to
live up to the rules of the church, be con
sured by tho Moderator and the charges
dismissed.
The Moderator then administered the
censure and concluded by admonishing him
to observe the rules of the church in such a
manner as to set the example expected of
him as a minister.
After the passage of this resolution
young Mr. McAllister preaohed his trial
sermon, and, after being required to answer
the usual questions in theology, he was reg
ularly ordained.
There was a large congregation, but, of
course, it was not possible to know how
many were there through curiosity.
HIDING UNDER TH2 BED.
Mrs. Dorsch Caught the Thief, but lie
Escaped From Her.
Mrs. Victor Dorsch, wife of the whole
sale liquor dealer at 2214 Carson street, had
an exciting experience with a burglar last
night. About 8:30 o'clock in the evening
Mrs. Dorsch entered the sitting room from
the kitchen. After sho had moved the
chairs into the hall she heard a strange
sound under the bed in, the corner of the
room. Mrs. Dorsch was frightened, but mus
tered up courage enough to investigate
Her fear was doubly increased when she
found under the bed and huddled back
against the wall a full-grown man. She
called the servant girl, and between them
they compelled the thief to come out Mrs.
Dorsch asked him what he was doing there,
and replied: "I was hunting for a needle
and thread to sew a button on my punts."
When under the bed he had a money bauk
belonging to the little girl, and when she
asked him where he got it he said he had
not noticed it
The servant girl took charge of the door
while Mrs. Dorsch went lor a police officer.
While she was gone the man compelled the
servant to unfasten the door and he escaped.
He was about 21 years of age. The police
subseqently arrested a man, but Mrs.
Dorsch said he was not the right one. '

A PLAZA AT THE PARK.
Mrs. Schenley Makes Another Im
portant Gift to the City..
FORBES STREET TO BE WIDENED
indthe Park Entrance to Ee Beautified
and Changed.
ANOTHER KETT STREET TO BE 0PJ5NED
Chief Blgelow yesterday made public an
other gift to the city from "Mrs. Schenley.
This time she gives a 10-foot strip along the
entire front of her property on Forbes
street,opposite the Schenley Park entrance,
for the widening of that thoroughfare. The
city will also add 10 feet to the street'!
width from the park frontage, thus giving a
width of 80 feet in front of the park and
forming what Chief Bigelow calls a plaza.
The street will be widened at once. Side
walks on either side will be 12 feet wide.
Between the outside rail of the street car
tracks and the curb on each side there will
be a width of 18 feet This will be sufficient
for two carriages to pass on both sides of
the tracks.
This plan was decided upon by Mr. Bige
low last Fourth of July, when the neces
sity for more room for carriages and pedes
trians at the park entrance was so pain
fully apparent. Previously Booth & Flinn
bad been repairing Forbes street under a
city contract, but when 'they reached the
Murdoch property line below the park
work was suspended until the Chiefs inter
view with Mrs. Schenley. That lady readily
assented to the proposition. Now the re
pairing will be resumed within a day or
two. The old curbs will be removed from
the Murdoch line to Bellefield avenue, aud
the fenoe on the north side will be set back
10 feet.
The Entrance to Bo Changed.
All the earth excavated from the Car
negie Library site is being dumped into the
ravine along the park front on Forbes
street to make the 10 feet to be added there.
In carrying out his plans Mr. Bigelow has
decided to change the park entrance. It
will be moved down almost directly op
posite the narrow passage which leads down
from Fifth avenue but which will eventually
be widened into a public street. The park
entrance will be widened to about 100 feet,
narrowing down to its present width some
distance from the street Nearly the whole1
course of the entrance from the street to
the bridge will be moved westwardly and
changed so as to give the best possible effect
to the appearance of the library buildings.
Along the Forbes street front of the park a
rough stone wall will be built along the
sidewalk, which will be of heavy stone.
This work will not be done probably until
next spring, when the fill now being made
will have settled sufficiently to prevent its
sinking.
Among th'e ordinances presented in Coun
cils last Monday was one for the location of
Millvale avenue, from the Pennsylvania
Kailroa I to Cypress street. Only the title
appeared, the'balance of the paper being
blank. Yesterday Chief Bigelow made
known the purpose of it.
New Street and New Bridge.
The object is to secure a good street upon
which the Bloomfield bridge over the Penn
sylvania Bailroad is to be built. This is
the bridge tor which Councils appropriated
565,000 last February. Bids are now beiug
received for its construction, and Mr. Bige
low says it will be erected before winter
sets in.
Millvale avenue is a 50-foot street, begin
ning at Center avenue and running to the
ravine through which the Pennsylvania
Railroad passes, where it ends. By the ex
tension of it proposed by Mr. Bigelow
Millvale avenue will cross the railroad just
east of Ben Venue station. Ou the north
side of the railroad it will cross Aloe and
Yew streets and run .into Fitch street, also
SO feet wide, which extends north from
Cypress street to the Garfield hill, crossing
Liberty, Friendship ind Penn avenues.
Mr. Bigelow says the Bloomfield and
Schenley Park Railway will cross the new
bridge. The company will abandon the
