k LOT OF NEW BUSINESS INTRODUCED
A temperance discussion, including a
reference by John Lambie to the notorious
"Yellow Do Socials," which were once so
numerous in this city, was a ieature of yes
terday's session of Councils. Chief Bige
low had presented a set of rules governing
the city parks, which he desired adopted as
an ordinance. Uo opposition was devel
oped to any of the rules in committee, but
when they were read in Select Council
Mr. Eobertson promptly discovered a de
lect in Tule 10, which, among other things,
prohibits "the introduction of any spirituous
liquors within the limits of the park either
for private use or for sale."
Mr. Eobertson moved to have the words
"either lor his own use or," stricken out.
"Whenever Mr. Bigelow wants an appro
priation for parks or authority to buy more
land," said Mr. Eobertson, "the fact is im
pressed upon us that these beautiful parks
are for the benefit of the workineman and
his family, that he may go out there and
lie down under the pretty shade trees and
drink in the beauties of nature and the
fresh, puije air which heaven has so abund
antly provided for park purposes.
A llea for Digestion.
"Xow.why should not the workingman, if
he chooses, take out with him a bottle of
wine, or beer if you please,-to drink in
with his pure air and assist in the digestion
of his picnic dinner. I think that provision
an infringement on the rights of our citi
zens. I don't believe the selling of liquor
should be permitted, but a citizen should
have the same right to drink a little beer
there, if he wishes, as in his own home."
Mr. Lambie was quick to respond. "It
you strike out those words," he exclaimed,
"you might as well strike out the whole
list of rules 1 In my opinion, rule 10 is the
only one worth anything. Without it, in
its entirety, there is nothing to prevent a
Yellow Dog Social or any other similar or
ganization Irom taking beer and whisky out
to the parks and distributing it among its
members, producing drunkenness and
rowdyism, and rendering the parks unfit
for decent people to go to."
Mr. Warmcastle followed, defending the
original rule vigorously. "Public decency,"
said he, "demands that this change should
not be made. SVhenever you allow indis
criminate drinking in a place of this kind,
you invito drunkenness and rowdy
ism. You make the park a place where a
man of respectability won't care to take his
family or to go himself."
A Liquor Dealer Anpalnst Liquor.
Mr. Donah oe, although a liquor dealer
himself, took the same view. "If you
strike out this provision," said he, "you
will iill the effect of the whole bilL No
man wants to take his family out where
several thousand people are congreeated,
every other man with a bottle oi whisky in
lis hip pocket."
Mr. Eobertson again took the floor and
repeated what he had just said, adding:
"The gentlemen who insist on making that
restriction are worse than the men who, in
1791, passed the blue laws. In this day to
prohibit a man from taking a drink is a
worse intrusion on his freedom, his liberty,
than all the laws passed in 1794 were then.
I claim rowdyism will not follow by strik
ing out this obnoxious clause. There has
been no rowdyism in the past without it,
and there is no reason to expect it in the
future."
The vote on the amendment was carried
by 15 to 12, but the ordinance as
amended tailed for want oi a leeal majority,
the vole being 9 against and 18 lor.
Another tilt occurred in Select Council
over the resolution appropriating 525,000
for the payment of damages incurred by the
opening of McKee Place. A communica
tion from the City Attorney stated that as
the case stands the propertyhoiders on Mc
Kee Place have action against the city, and
the compromise ofiered would save the city
money.
Dr. Evans Asks a Question,
Dr. Evans demanded to know whose fault
it was that the city was in this position and
why.
Assistant City Attorney House explained
that the street had "been" opened under the
act of 18b9 and partially improved when the
act was stricken down by the Supreme
Court. The propertv owners were willing
to pay for the 40,000 to ?50,000 of improve
ments, but they wanted pay for the property
taken lor the street, and were in a position
to get it.
Mr. Warmcastle It looks to me like a
Shylock game these people are playing en
the city. Ihey want the street, admit its
necessity, but want to be paid for it. It
seems like a very dishonorable proceeding
to take a mean adantage like this on a
technicality of the law.
Dr. Evans If taken to court this matter
would come before a jury, and there are few
men who would decide in lavor of such a
crab as this. I am in favor of fighting the
scheme to the bitter end. The whole street
is not worth 550,000.
The lesolution was finally called to a vote
and passed by a vote of 17 to 7.
Object to Employing Extra Counsel.
In Common Council a brisk fight occurred
on V. A. Magee's resolution to employ
additional counsel for fighting the litiga
tion on the last triennial assessment. Mr.
Bigham asked why this was necessary with
a city attorney and three assistants.
Mr. Magee said the question was very
important. The department of law had a
great deal of work to da The city pays
considerable for law, but not as much'as the
X,ake Erie Eailroad, with its little line
lrom Pittsburg to Youngstown. The city
never had an assessment thoroughly de
lended in court, and he wanted men engaged
who had nothing else to look after except
the question.
Mr. Eigham had been looking after these
tax suits and he thought the Citv Attorney
was attending to them very welL He did
not think the resolution should be paBsed,
especially as the City Attorney had not
asked lor help. He moved to rele'r the res
olution to the Committee on Finance.
Lacked a Quorum. .
Chief Brown's ordinance to prohibit per
sons from depositing garbage and filth in
unauthorized places and prohibiting the use
of abandoned coal mines for sewer deposi
tories tailed ot passage for want of a legal
majority, the vote being 13 to 7.
Two Committees Named
President Holliday yesterday appointed
Messis. Thome, Bheams and McGonigle as
the Common Council members of the Audit-
r
ing Committee, and Messrs. Bigham, ITrauz,
Fox, Shannon and Watson on the Free
Bridge Committee.
i .
POLICE FORCE INCREASED.
The Addition of CO Men Produces a lively
Discussion in Common Councils A Lot
or New Business and Ordinances Pre
sented. In Common Councils, on the call of the
wards, the following papers were presented
and referred:
Ordinances for sewers on Craig street,
Grafton street, Carver and Amanda streets,
Dauphin street and Morningside road,
Geneva alley and Matilda street; for grad
ing, paving and curbing Meadow street and
Forty-third street; for opening Meadow
sheet and Forty-third street; ixing a vehicle
license of $6 a year on one horse vehicles,
$10 for two horse vehicles and $100 for each
street oar; petitions for water mains on
Home street and huclid street; remonstrance
against the change of grade on Craig street,
against the Improvement or Greenbusn
street and against grading Prospect stieet.
The chairman read a communicatidn from
Chief Brown, in which he stated, in re
sponse to a request from Council, that the
best method ot disposing of garbage in the
Lawrenceville district was the systematic
collection at the publio expense and its
destruction in furnaces. The paper was
filed, tinder the head of Select Council
business:
An ordinance granting the Second Avenue
Passenper Eallwav the right to lay a double
track on Second avenue at Hazlewood was
passed, as weie the general ordinance
rezulatinz street paving by traction com
panies: tho resolution directing the Chief of
the Department of Pabllo Works to require
the Monongatiela Water Companjkto com
ply with their contract relative to supplying
water; the resolution requesting the Gov
ernor to place a sum of money at tho dis
posal of the State Board or Health: tho
resolution for the purchase of a lot in the
J.uirty;nrst wara lor an engine nouse. i no
ordinance to increase the police force by 50
men was opposed by Mr. O'Donnell, who
moved to flx the increase at 25 men.
Mr. Fllnn opposed the amendment. He
was in lavor ot an increase of 150 men. "We
have 75,000 people on the Southside," said
Mr. Flinn, "and our day police force is from
19 to 23 men. In the Twenty-seventh and
other hill waids davlieht robberies are com
mon because some uf the beats are from six
to elsht miles long. It is not because the
police are inefficient. They havo too much
to do. We need 25 more men at least."
Mr. O'Donnell In offering this amend
ment I understood that an increase of the
Fire Department is to come. An increase of
25 men in tho Police Department and an m
cicaso in the Mro Department will be heavy
enough on the taxpayers, and an increase of
25 policemen a year would keep pace with
the population. Personally I would prefer
a heavier increase in tho Fli a Department.
The amendment was deleated and the
ordinance passed by a vote of 33 ayes to 4
noes. Messrs. Dunn, Eiten, McHugh and
O'Donnell voted no.
Mr. Bigham, from the Committee on Pub
lic Works, presented ordinances for ?rad
ine, paving and curbing Juliet street, Beatty
street, Cato street, and Broad street; for
grading Copeland street; for paving and
curbing Wallingford street; ail of which
were passed.
Mr. O'Donnell, from the Committee on
Surveys, presented ordinances fixing the
grade "of South Hegley avenue and Daum
street; passed.

but was called up a second time and passed.
A number of resolutions were also
passed. A resolution to add $200 to
the sum named for the purchase
and equipment of the Thirty-first ward
engine house was pased. Other resolutions
passed weie: To approve the purchase of a
lot on Malter avenue, Thirtj-flist ward, for

line of S2S8 60 Imposed by the Com tin the
city cases ti ied last spring. Another reso
lution passed authorized a transfer of $7,00
lrom the contingent to the finance lund.
The ordinance providing for the removal
oi overhead wires was amended, extending
the time for its enforcement from Novem
ber, 1891, to November, 189a It then went
over for printing.
The ordinance prohibiting the driving of
cattle on all Bast End streets except Penn
avenue tailed of passage lor want of a legal
majority.
F1LTBATI0N HOI WANTEH,
Mayor Kennedy Doesn't Like Ex-Councilman
Ilarhnan's Scheme,
Mayor Kennedy does not in any way
favor ex-Councilman Hartman's filtration
scheme, and gives reasons why the plan
should not be carried out. He says it is by
no means original, and has already been
discussed to a considerable extent. There
is no use, His -Honor says, in filtering sewer
water, and besides it would cost much more
to perfect the system than was estimated by
Mr. Hartman. What the city was after was
to get a better and cheaper system that it
had at present.
The expenditure of ?250,000 on water, im
provements will got before the people for
their votes on October 8. The appropria
tion having been decided on already is
bound to tnke effect, and if it cannot be
raised in any other way the mill age will be
increased, and the money collected by
direct taxation.
Stole a Dime and Swallowed It.
Michael Hanlon was caught last night in
the act of committing a robbery in a cigar
store at the corner of Ennn alley and Sarah
street, Southside. He had filled his pockets
with tobies and cigars and was in the act oi
reaching.in the money drawer when he was
discovered. He got a dime and in the ex
citement, during which he was chased out
of the store, he put the coin in his mouth
and swallowed it.
John O'Connor's Skull Crushed.
John O'Connor, a workman employed bv
Mclnery & Gibson, contractors at McKees

While digging at a bank some 200 pounds

THE PITTSBURG-
FUEL OF ENTHUSIASM.
Democrats of the Eleventh and Thir
teenth Yards Meet. v
THEIR CANDIDATES INDOESED.
Making Preparations for a Demonstration
and rarade.
THOUSANDS WILL LISTEN TO M'EINLET
Over 300 Democrats of the Eleventh and
Thirteenth wards assembled last evening in
the , ichoolhouse on Granville street be
tween "Webster and "Wylie avenues. The
gathering was very much in the nature of a
ratification meeting to indorse the'nomi
nation for the Legislature of O. K. Gardner
and G. B. Acklin as Eepresentatives from
the Third Legislative district.
Bichard Ennis was chosen temporary
chairman and John A. Downey temporary
secretary. Some short discussions arose on
the subject of establishing a marching club.
The project didn't find much iavor among
many of the older Democrats present. It
'was their idea that too much time was
wasted in organfzing and considerable un
necessary expense was attached to the
sustenance of clubs. A quantity of the
young blood present boiled for a time, and
the subject was finally dropped until the
next meeting. John J. Kane was elected
chairman on permanent organization, and
J. H. Boggeman secretary. Mr, Kane
onened the meeting formally and in
troduced O. K. Gardner to the gathering.
A Campaign of Education y
In a lengthy speech Mr. Gardner elo
quently dealt with the Democratic plat-
form and the careers of that party's candi
dates. The campaign, he said, was one of
education. He was with the voters of the
Third district now as he was before,
and in the tribe phrase of the
distinguished Senator from New York, he
proclaimed himself a Democrat, It was
only a few days ago that he had received a
letter which contained a caricature of D.
B. Hill eating crow. On the exterior of
the envelope, for the information likely of
the carrier, was the word "politician.". He
failed to see the joker's idea altogether, for
of all things possible he was not a poli
tician. The issues to be fought varied
little from those of previous campaigns.
The main interest rested in the Kepublican
platform of protection.
The speaker would not go into detail on
the immense harvest reaped by the work
men from the McKinley bill, but pointed
to the little borough of Homestead on the
fiicturesqne bank of the Monongahela and
et his hearers pass a verdict on protection's
benefit to the iron and steel workers. The
Democratic party was the party of the peo
ple and onlydor the people.
Willing to Go to Harrisburg.
George B. Acklin addressed the meeting
briefly. It was the first time he had spoken
to a Democratic assemblage. He would be
glad to go to Harrisburg lor tho people of
the Third district. "Ana, perhaps,' ne
continued, "if we could by any means get a
little majority-iii the House there might be a
good chance to remedy the many evil laws
that now govern the State.
"It would be well to repeal the Blue law:
if possible, to redistrict the State, and then
send another Senator to Washington. Bing
rule in Pittsburg was something which
should sooij end it the people of the city
would have absolute freedom. It was the
duty of the Democratic party to help the
workman at the present time and stop the
manufacturing of millionaires."
F. W. Lordan had considerable to say
about the time and enthusiasm wasted in
organizing marching clubs, while it could
be put to better advantage.
Walter Brown, the colored orator of the
Thirteenth ward, made a stirring speech in
which the English vocabularly was choicely
used. It was the chief effort of tha meeting
and every man in the hall cheered the
speaker to the echo when he finished. He
reviewed the history of the colored man in
the South, and the effects of the masters'
dictation at the polling booth. Several
other speakers followed and the meeting
adjourned subject to the call of the chair
man. THAT H'KIHLEY MEETING.
Railroads Offer a Low Bate and Special
.Trains for Washington.
If the weather is favorable, a great crowd
is expecied to turn out to-morrow to hear
McKinley speak in the Wahington fair
grounds. A number of local clubs will be
present. The railroads have agreed on a
rate of SI for the round trip. A special train
on the Baltimore and Ohio road will leave
here in the morning at 9:40; another special
will start from Wheeling at 11 A. M. Both
trains will leave Washington on the return
at 5:30 in the evening. The special on the
Panhandle is scheduled for 10:10 A M.
Division Passenger Agent Smith, of the
Baltimore and Ohio, says the inquiries lor
rates are numerous, especially from the
rural districts. He looks for a great jam of
people.
E. F. Acheson, the Bepublican candi
date for Congress from Washington, was in
the city yesterday. He is a little afraid ot
the equinoctial storm, but it it doesn't rain
McKinley will be greeted by a multitude.
The wool growers of the county are anxious
to seethe tariff champion.
John T. Lane, Traveling Passenger Agent
for the Baltimore and Ohio at Wheeliug,
called at the city office yesterday. He says
the people in West Virginia are enthusi
astic, and'even the Democrats are anxious
'to see tne man they would like to have
turned down.
AN OLD EIITSBTrBGER.
Attorney Loughbrldge Says Iowa Is Going
Republican.
J. M. Loughbridge, a Bepublican lawyer
of Oskaloosa, la., registered at the St.
James last evening. Mr. Loughbridge for
merly lived here, and taught ya. the same
schoolhouse on the Southside with Andrew
Burt, the grammarian. He went West 40
years ago, and visited the city in 1877. He
is a cousin of Mrs. John Chalfant Mr.
Loughbridge says the city has grown won
derfully, and it makes him feel sad in in
quiring about old friends to learn that they
died years since.
Speaking of politics, he said: "Iowa is
going Bepublican this (all. Its majority
used to be as high ca 90,000, but prohibition
gave Boies a chance to be elected Governor
by catering to the whisky element Scott
county, in which Davenport is located, was
Bepublican by 5,000 before the temperance
issue was passed, but now it is as many
votes Democratic. The Bepublicans have
wisely dropped the prohibition plank from
their platform, and the Germans are coming
back to the party. I look for a great Be
publican victory in Iowa."
Major McKinley Coming.
Major Wm. MoKinley, Governor of Ohio,
will arrive in this city, to-morrow morn
ing at 7 o'clock. He will travel over the
C. and P. road and will be met at the Union

Business at a Standstill on Account of tho
Low Price of Silver.
J. B. Dunn, assistant business manager of
the Boston Traveler, put up at the Anderson

several silver mines in Colorado, and he
had been out there looking after them. Mr.
Dunn is a Republican, but he does not
L bring much encouragement from the West.
"in the saver country, he said, "busi
ness is at a standstill. It doesn't pay to
mine silver at'80 cents per ounce,andmany
of the large mines are closed. The people
are in a fretful state, and from what I can
learn three-fourths of the votes in Colo
rado and one-half in Nevada and Utah, will
go to Weaver. If the price ot silver could
be advanced to 51 15 or SI 20 cents per
ounce, the mines could be started, and this
would create a market for the farm pro

People's party complained to the County
Commissioners yesterday because the
names oi the People's party candidates are

PREACHED TO 'GRANT.
The Famous Bishop John P. Newman
Going to Blairsville
TO THE PITTSBURG CONFERENCE.
He Tells How He Would Educate His Boy if
He Had One.
HIS LABOR OP LAST TEAR RECALLED
Bishop John P. Newman, of the Method
ist Episcpal Church, was at the Seventh
Avenue Hotel last night. The distin
guished clergyman will leave this morning
at 8 o'clock for Blairsville, where he will
preside at the annual meeting of the Pitts
burg Conference, which opens there this
week.
Bishop Newman is probably the best
known minister in America. During three
different administrations he was Chaplain
of the United States Senate. He accom
panied General Grant on his famous tour of
the world and he was with General Grant
when the ex-President died.
A tall, stately looking old gentle
man with his hair whitened by the
dust of time, hanging in ringlets almost to
his shoulders; his smoothly shaven, intelli
gent face shining out in smiles like a be
nevolent sun, Bishop Newman is indeed a
striking figure. He is more than six feet
tall. The burden of his years is bending
his broad 'shoulders, but his spirit is that of
vigorous youth.
The Bishop Knows What He Wants.
"I want a good room" the Bishop began
even before he bad registered. "Don't take
that" be said .rather sharply to the porter
who endeavored to relieve him of his
satchel and umbrella. Then he wrote on
the register in arp easy running hand
"Bishop John P. Newman, Omaha." "I
want supper now," he said to the clerk,
and without another word he turned to the
dining room. The porter who followed him
carried the key to the best room in the
great hotel. The Bishop ordered tea and
toast. He drank part of the tea and ate
sparingly of the toast. He then -visited
the room assigned to him, expressed his sat
isfaction with it, and then walked leisurely
to the hotel lobby.
"No, I am not the author of the famous
hymn 'Lead Kindly Light,' " the Bishop
began to a Dispatch reporter. "That
hymn, the grandest in the language,
was written by Cardinal Newman, a
Catholic. A grand hymn and
a grand man," the Bishop
went on. He then told of conferences held
throughout Ohio and Northwestern Penn
sylvania. He said the most important
matters considered were the advancement
and improvement of the educational stand
ard of the ministry. "Our ministers are
not broad enough. They need travel
and contact with people to broaden
them out to the proper size'. I
found as much sympathy and feeling among
the Chinamen as I find here. I found the
Arabs willing to fight as viciously and as
seriously for me when we were attacked by
highwaymen as an American would fight to
save a friend. We can really only distin
guish the difference in people by the
clothes they wear.
How to Raise a Boy.
"If I had a boy to educate," the distin
guished old gentleman went on, "I 'would
first see him through a university. Then I
would graduate him in the law. I wonld
have him take a course in medicine, and
then, if fitted for it, or if he were suited
lor the calling, I would devote
him to theology. Then I would
turn him into the world. I would have
him go into every country to famifiarize
himself with every people. That, I think,
would make him a complete man. Oar
ministers now graduate at some school and
then settle down with some small congrega
tion, 'and are too narrow for the advanced
age.
"The Blairsville Conference may take up
the woman question, in the event of which
a lively debate will occur. Several matters
may come up, but the elevation of the min
istry is sure to be considered. Personally
I believe in the individuality of the
women. I believe they have been deprived
of their constitutional right by preventing
them from voting.
"There are 16 Bishops in the countrv.
We have 10,000,000 people to look after,
and ot these 3,000,000 are active church
members. Last year I traveled 37,000
miles, and I find the work somewhat tire
some." A LAEGE DOCKET.
Squire Braun Has Sixty-Seven Cases of Dog
Fighting to Try.
Alderman Braun, of Allegheny, had en
tered in the records of his office yesterday 67
charges of cruelty to animals, made by Hu

of a number of dog fights which occurred on
the City of Pittsburg the evening that John
Cooley met death by drowning.
The' Squire refused to give the names of
any of the defendants, for the reason that

LIKELY ANOTHER MURDER
One Hungarian Cuts Another In a Free
Fight at -Coultersville Detective
Murphy Arrests the Cutter He Is
Now In Jail.
Joseph Powoka, a Hungarian, of Coul
tersville, Pa., was brought to jail on Sun
day to await the Injuries he inflicted with a
knife upon John Caldwell, also a Hun
garian. Both men were employed repair
ing the track of the Baltimore ancJOhio road.
They were drinking together in Coulters-
nils ua,uiia uiv. .uvuv wiuuiu, i
(fight broke out in the crowd. In the fight
Powoka cut Caldwell in the stomach in
flicting a wound that now threatens to prove
fatal.
Detective Mujphy, who lives at Coulters
ville, had just arrived home on a midnight
train and was attracted by the uproar. He
hurried'to the house where the fight was in
progress. He caught the assailant as he
was endeavoring to leave the place through
a rear door. The officer was told that the
victim of the cutting had rushed out of the
house and had plunged into the river. Mur
phy placed Powoka under arrest and then
compelled the prisoner to accom
pany him to hunt the' in
jured man, who was finally fonnd
on the river bank with his entrails hanging
irom the wound. A physician was called
and the wound was dressed, but Dr. J. B.
Block, the attending physiolan, has little
hope of the Hungarian s recovery. 'Squire
Love committed Powoka to jail.
Detective Murphy said yesterday that
the case would likely prove to be murder.
The knife with which tne cutting was done
was not found. The prisoner when locked
up admitted having cut his fellow-countryman.
