PES ASKED An Application for the Bequi- sition of Mrs. Marsh and James Mcintosh. MAESH STILL IN THE CITY. Administrator Fehl Tells the Story of His New York Trip. GAMBLE WEIR'S PROPERTY FOUND. Commissioner Weir's Tersion of the Death Bed Statement. IEW DEVELOPMENTS IN A QUEER CASE An application for requisition papers to bring Mrs. Jennie Marsh and James Mc intosh from New York was forwarded to Governor Pattison last night by the police. Detectives Coulson and Kobinson will go to New York lor the prisoners in a day or two. The requisition papers were signed by Judge Kennedy and District Attorney Burleigh. "With them was sent a copy of the informations made before Magistrate Gripp on SeDtember 22. The charge against Mrs. Marsh is larceny, against Mcintosh larceny and receiving stolen goods. The general information charges the de fendants with "feloniouslv taking and car rying away from the bedroom of Gamble "Weir, there a corpse, a diamond scarfpin valued at 525; two cuff buttons, valued at 515 each; an overcoat, valued at ?33, and 24 shirts, valued at fd each; clothing and wear ing apparel to the amount of 5100 or there abouts." Governor Pattison will forward the papers to Governor Plower, of New York. H. C Fehl, administrator of the late Gamble "Weir's estate, returned from New York yesterday morning. He says heac companied the officer who searched the house occupied by Mcintosh, Mrs. Marsh and her daughter, and they found articles which undoubtedly were Gamble "Weir's property and had been stolen. Fchl Answers Mcintosh. "I see by the papers," said Mr. Fehl last night, "that Mcintosh asks why we did not arrest Mrs. Marsh before she left Pittsburg. To correct the impression this may lead to I w ill reply. I was preparing to go to the house on Cliff street and demand these poods, when I accidentally learned that Mrs. Marsh had moved away from the city, taking everything with her. "We have proof to show that much of the stuff taken was bought and paid for by Gamble "Weir. "We could not have charged larceny if Mrs. Marsh had not removed the goods from the house, but by her taking them from the house secretly and removing them to .New York she showed clearly her intention to delraud the estate. "The information which led to our pur suing Mrs. Marsh came through the Police Superintendent of Stapleton, Staten Island, to the police officials in this city. "We had no idea where she was until then. "When she first went there she boarded at the same house with Mcintosh, who represented her as his sister. The lady of the house judged from their actions that this was not the case, and she questioned Mrs. Marsh's daughter, who finally let out the truth. The lady of the house gained considerable information in one way and another, which she communicated to the police and which led to the letters sent to the police of this city. "Mcintosh was only making 540 a month as a railroad brakemau, yet was wearing diamonds, fine jewelry and the best of clothing. His trunks contained fine blan kets and other articles a man in ordinary circumstances was not likely to possess. "When Mrs. Marsh returned to Pittsbuig a few weeks aso he was very attentive to her 14-year-old daughter during the mother's absence. Goods Packed Indiscriminately. "When the officers at Stapleton searched the house they found three trunks. The trunks contained the apparel of a man and a woman, indiscriminately. In her trunk 'were found articles Mcintosh had been wearing. "We found articles we cau prove were stolen, even a plush head-rest Gamble "Weir's sweetheart made for him while he was in his last siccness, and which he certainly did not give away. We found jewelry that Gamble wore until he took to his death bed. There was a marble clock, a piano and number of other articles which we can prove were Gamble's property. We know that he bought these things, and mauv others in the Cliff street house in the expectation of setting married and occupying the house. Mrs. Marsh and Mcintosh are doine considerable blowing, but we will produce solid evidence when the time comes." When County Commissioner Weir was seen he referred the reporter to his at torney, John D. Siiafer. "It's not my place to talk," said he. "The matter is in the hands of the authorities. I will say this, however, the remarks published as coming from Mrs. Marsh's husband only verify my previous belief that he is a poor, misguided man, a tool in the hands ot his wile. I sympathize with the poor fellow because he doesn't seem to understand the woman." VTelr Denies Powell's Presence. According to statements made by John D. Shaffer and Commissioner Weir there is no doubt but that a f :w days before his death Uamble fir told his brother that the Cliff street house was to be given to Mrs. Marsh. According to Mr.' Weir's statement Mrs. Marsh and himself were the only persons present, but Mrs. Marsh declares her cousin, William Powell, was also present Mr. Weir's statement is that a few days before Gamble died he entered the room and found Mrs. Marsh standing by Gamble's bedside. Gamble called him over to the bed saying: "Jim, I give over into your hands every thing I own to do as you please with it You can give this house to Jennie." Mr. Weir didn't then believe his brother was going to die. He declares there was no one but Mrs. Marsh and himself in the room at the time. A day or'two after Gam ble Weir's death Mrs. Marsh reminded him ot the statement At that time there was no suspicion of foul play. He remarked that the mil would not hold good, that he would not take Gamble Weir's property from the other heirs or give her the house without their consent, because there were no disinterested witnesses present and it would be illegal Then he savs she re marked: "Ponellwas there and heard it all. Now you have got everything and you can well afford to cive me the house." Mr. Weir says there was an intimation 1 accompanying the words which gave him to understand he could resort to any sort of scheme to defeat the other heirs and have her assistance. He, however, declared Powell was not present, he knew it, and there was no use in talking about it Then, he says, she raued her fist suegestively and exclaimed: "Powell was the're! I'll make Powell swear to anything!" lie Humored the Woman. Later, when the suspicion of foul play was aroused, Mr. Weir says he humored Mrs. Marsh to see what she would da At torney Sharer produces a paper which he drew up at Mrs. Marnh's dictation, dated January 19, in which she describes the bed room scene, and the nuncupative will practically as described by Mr. Weir, ex cept that she states that Powell was stand ing at the foot of the bed and heard all was said. Attached to the paper is a statement from Powell that all it contains is true and that he had written a memorandum of what ranspired ten minutes after it occurred. William Powell, the cousin of Mrs. Marsh, who was a boarder in the house, went to England ome time ago. He is not a native of England. Mrs. Jones, mother of Mrs. Marsh, preceded Powell to Eng land by several weeks. Commissioner Wetr savs he has never denied that his brother desired to give the Cliff street house to 3Irs. Marsh, but that there being no valid will and no witnesses he could not give, the property over, the other heirs not being willing, but he insists there were no wit nesses. The disappearance of Powell ho considers very significant at this time. Marsh Is Very Indignant Harry Marsh is still in the city. He was indignant when seen on the street last night over the report that he had skipped the town. 'I am here," he said, "and here I stay. I have a good position in this city. I haven't much money, but all I have and can "get I will spend to defeat these persecutors of my wife. Jim Weir tried to get my wife to sign a paper that Gamble had turned all his propertv over to him. Because she re fused a bribe of 52,000 and defeated' his plans, he is pursuing her. Mr wife went to Staten Island to open a boarding house. I sent her there. She is broken down from nursing Gamble Weir in his sickness of several weeks, and the climate here did not agree with her. All the prop erty taken from the Cliff street house, which I bought and paid for, is my property and I can prove it Gamble did not own a pair of diamond sleeve buttons. There was a diamond scarfpin in mv wife's trunk which was sent to me from England. I suppose they will say that was stolen. These peo ple want to hang us all, but if I can get enough money to fight them I will have them in the penitentiary before I am through. It is the most causeless persecu tion I have ever heard of. They are mak ing a mistake with Mcintosh. He is a gen tleman. His brother is a rich banker, and thinks much of him. Mcintosh is a good man and would not wrong any person." ITALIAN KEPU3LH3ANS H3N0BED. Th elr Zlarchlng Clnb Is Presented With a , 1'IaR and Banner. The Third ward school building was crowded with Italians and some Americans last night on the occasion of the presenta tion of a national flag and a banner to the "United Italian Republican Club. The night was given over to festivities from about 7 o'clock to early morning, for after tho close of, the regular programme the club and its friends adjourned to the clubhouse on Strawberry alley and enjoyed a mild colla tion, and there kept open house for several hours. At the schoolhouse John M. Lambie was the orator of the occasion. The flag and banner were both of silk and very hand some. It was the gift of Henry Sliultz and some other residents of the ward who take an interest in the club. M. D. Rose accepted the floe and banner in a neat speech, and Joseph Natalie, Presi dent of the club, and Antonio Buffalo also made short addresses. Prof. Rocereto's band was present and discoursed the national airs, and headed the procession later of 300 members, who paraded the downtown streets. . A "WHEEL CAME OF? And Caused a Serious Runaway on a Down town Street Last night J. H. Nichols, a music dealer of Allegheny, and a lady were coming down Sixth avenue in a buggy, and when near Smithfield street a front wheel of the vehicle came off. Mr. Nichols was thrown out and the horse leaped in one bound across Smith field street to the sidewalk. There the horse fell and the lady rolled out across the horse and to the sidewalk. The horse regained its feet in an instant and dashed across the street to the opposite sidewalk, dragging the broken buggy with him. At a breakneck speed he went up Smithfield street In a remarkably short time the horse reached'Liberty street, where he fell over a pile of stone on the sidewalk, but jumping up and freeing himself con tinued on unhurt to the depot, where he ran to the gate on the platform and was caught Mr. Nichols and his companion escaped unhurt, but Policeman William O'Connor was knocked down on Sixth avenue and had his legs slightly injured. ETOCKTOK'S HABD LUCE. He Had Ills Money Stolen From Him While Coming to Pittsburg. Charles A. Stockton, aged 49 years, a resident of Detroit, and his four sons, rang ing in age from 6 to 13 years, were cared for by the police at the Twelfth ward sta tion last night Stockton said for the 'past 15 years he had been living in Detroit A year ago, after the death of his wife, he placed his four boys in a Protestant home, but was forced to take them out Work was hard to get in Detroit, and, having saved a little money, he bought tickets for himself and the children to Pittsburg. Com ing from Detroit to Cleveland by way ot the lake on the City of Cleveland, some person robbed him while asleep ot what little money he had, about 535. He arrived in the city early este'day morning, tired and hungry. He rent to Kensington to see if he could not obtain work there, but was disappointed and returned to the city. Quite a Fine Elm. One of the finest elms within 20 miles of New York is in the yard of a private dwell ing in Fourth avenue, Mount Veron. The tree measures at least four feet in diameter at the ground, and nearly several feet at the point from which the main branches shoot Several branches are two and one half feet in diameter each. The spread of the branches must cover a circle considerably more than 100 feet in diameter. A large pavilion has been erected beneath the tree, with a stairway leading up to the great branches. It has been neccessary to hold the branches together by means of stout iron bands. Traveling Stones In Nevada. The curious "traveling stones" of Aus tralia are paralleled in Nevada. They are perfectly round, and about as large as a walnut and of an ivory nature. When dis tributed about on the floor, table, or any other smooth surface within two or three leet of each other, they immediately com mence traveling toward each other and meet at a common center, and there lie hud dled in a bunch like eggs in a nest It is needless to say that they are largely composed of magnetic iron ore. A Good Day for Immigrants. Dr. Moyer examined 311 immigrants yes terday who were bound toward the city over the Pennsylvania Railroad. They were all in excellent health and passed.

Special Fallots Necessary Election to for a Special INCREASE TEMPEEANCETILLE'S DEBT Only two bids for the printing of the official ballots for the coming election were Teceived by the County Commissioners be fore the hour for closing yesterday. A large number of printers had called and en deavored to figure out how they could do the work with any profit, butit was such a perplexing task that all but two gave it up in disgust The Pittsburg Printing Com pany bid 512,300 on the contract, while Bennett & Co. bid $17,800. When the bids were opened it was found that both referred to the sample ballots pre pared by State Secretary Harrity. But the Commissioners had explained to bidders that the ballots must be considerably larger, and that they must bid on a sheet 22x24 inches and on another sheet 14x60. This was ot done and the Commissioners de cided not to let the contract until an under standing is reached. They have not decided yet which style of ballots they will order, the statements from Harrisburg being so confusing on that point, but yesterday they sent a formal request to the County Solic itor for an opinion, by which they will be guided. It is expected the opinion will be submitted to-day or to-morrow and then the Commissioners will award the contract Tho Fopulites' Protest Answered. In reply to the protest sent to State Sec retary Harrity, Secretary Burrows, of the People's party, yesterday received a letter relating to the form of the ballots, which does not seem to clear up the confusion to any appreciable extent The letter reads: Replying to yours of yestenlay, 1 beg to say the sample ballots sent to County Com missioneis and others is for the purpose of calling attention of officials to a form In accord with the opinio.! of Attorney Gen eral nensei. This ballot, however. Is merely hypo- tneticai, ana aoesnoc emoiace ail tue political divisions.. The size of ballot printed by the Commis sioners of the several counties will, of course, conform to the number of candi dates tbeieon. The number, their names and their political appelatlons cannot be certified by the Seoretuiy of the Common wealth until after tho 13th of October. It would not be proper for this Depart ment to direct nor in any way interfere with apy plans the Commissioners of your county may have for the printing of ballots. Ihe regular ballots when issued will doubtless contain the names of the candi dates of all parties who made nominations in accordance with the liaker law. Very truly yours, A. L. Tildes, Deputy Secretary of the Commonwealth. A committee from the Thirty-sixth ward school board called on the Commissioners yesterday desirin? to know if thev conld hold a special election for their ward in con nection with the coming general eleotion. Since Plumbing Inspector Laydon con demned the old school building in the Thirty-sixth ward, the board has decided to tear the old building down and put up a new one. They want a 550,000 structure of eight rooms and modern ventilation and sanitary arrangements. Must Hold a Special Election. Under the law they have no authority to expend more than 522,000 without a popular vote on the question. They wanted to have the vote included in the Baker ballots, to save the expense of a special election. The commissioners decided that as the Baker law makes no reference to elections for increase of debt, it does not govern them except in the mere act of voting. There fore the election must be held -under the old law and tickets printed especially for the purpose, one kind being marked '"increase of debt" and the other "no increase of debt" The special election will cost the ward 5150, the county furnishing the booths, guard rail and ballot box required by the Baker law. The old school on Main street to be re placed with a new building is a frame structure put up 45 years ago. It stands at the head of Main street, and is in a badlr wornout condition. The new school will be placed on the site of the old one. If the special election fails to authorize a 550.000 building, the School Board will go ahead with one costing522,000. COLUMBUS DAY CELEBRATION, It Will Be Observed With Parades and Patriotic Display. The executive council of the General Committee on the Columbus Day celebra tion met last night in Common Council chamber. Chairman William T.- Kerr stated that the committee was expected to adopt a plan for the observance of the day and recommend it to the General Commit tee. The hour for the parade to move was fixed at 12 o'clock noon. It will be in 4 three divisions, the old city, Allegheny and Southside. Ejch will be composed of the societies in their several sections. Major J. F. Dennis ton was chosen Chief Marshal and given power to appoint the division marshals and lay out a route, with the suggestion that it cover part of the Southside and Allegheny. An invitation is to be extended to the Grand Army and the National Guard in this end of the State to head the procession. As to the evening exercises it was decided to recommend to the General Committee that Old City Hall be secured for a patriotic entertainment Mr. Weitershausen was appointed to arrange for tlje adoption of a suitable badge. A. motion was made that the Mayors ot the two cities ask the busi ness men to close up their stores on the day of the celebration. - Peddlers in Trouble, Four persons were lodged in the Thirty sixth ward station house yesterday for vio lating a city ordinance. All were selling pictures without a license. A sharp look out has been kept on all peddlers for some time pastas that.district is particularly- an. 'noved br them. The offenders taton in yesterday were: Victor Veinstein, of 166 Caldwell street, who Was employed bv the Pittsburg Frame Company; " Louis Brown, 77 Crawford street; Peter Freemen, 126 Onr alley, and A. B. Trabis, of Belle vue, who was selling pictures for McElroy &Co. Largest Flower In Ihe World. The "bo-o," the largest flower known to botanists, is found only- on the island of Mindina, the most noted of the Philippine group. Its scientific name is somewhat longer than its native name, the botanists recognizing it as rafflesia schadenbergia. It was first discovered in January, 1889, by an exploring expedition headed by Dr. Alex. Schadenbery. Single flowers of the "bo-o" weigh from 18 to 20 pounds. 66 426$e$e6e$ee4444t$446$e$e 9 Oh, why should the spirit of-mortal be proud? A swift-fleeing -meteor, a fast-flying- cloud.

Scott Thinks It WIU Ultimately Load to the Consolidation of Pittsburg, Allegheny and tho Surrounding Boroughs-How. It Conld Be Accomplished, In an anonymous interview yesterday, a gentleman said to be posted on ths ques tion advises against the cities and towns of this county allowing a private corporation to construct a mountain water supply sys tem as proposed bv the Western water Company. The gentleman refers to the grip the Southside Water Company has on that part of the city, and says the cities should combine, issue bonds and build the system themselves. He estimates the cost would not exceed $12,000,000, which could be paid in a few years easily if each of the various local governments would assume its share of the bonds. James B. Scott thinks the question of a new water supply will be the one which will ultimately result in bringing about a consolidation of Pittsburg, Allegheny, Mc Keesport and all the large boroughs around the city into one big municipality. "It is impossible to conceive of a proper arrange ment of this subject in any other way," said Mr. Scott By such a consolidation we would have a city and count? combined with a population of over 500,000. It could be much more economically handled than with a dozen governments, as Is the case now, and the size of the city would give her the prominent place in the world she is entitled to. All these towns are really a part of Pittsburg. Allegheny is a part of Pitts burg. Take the street on which I live in Allegheny. In a couple of blocks there are 20 or more business men, and every morn ing every one ot them goes across to Pitts burg to his.business office, store or manufac tory. It is Pittsburg capital which main tains these outlying 'towns, such as are manufacturing places, and where they are residence places they are peopled by men who have their business interests or earn their living in Pittsburg. Whatever con cerns Pittsburg concerns them all. In fact they tre identical, and in order to solve the water, problem the first step is to speedily consolidate them into one government After that the balance will be comparative ly easy." A HEW MAECHING CLUB, The Republicans of the Fourteenth Ward Have 350 Names Enrolled Already.

He Would Bather Sleep In a Barrel Than in a Bed. Sammy Caddock, 10 years of age, ran away from the Home of the Friendless, ot Allegheny, last Friday, and up to yesterday morning nothing could be learned of his whereabouts. Chief of Public Charities Grubbs yesterday morning heard that a boy answering the description of the runaway had been sleeping in old barrels and boxes in the neighborhood of Observatory Hill, and going up there found the boy playing marbles with some school children. Sammy refused at first to accompany Mr. Grubbs, saying that he did not like to stay at the Home of the Friendless; that he would rather sleep in "barrels and boxes and wear old clothes than to sleep in a good bed and go neatly dressed. He was sent back to the home yesterday afternoon. 6IBUCK BY A'LOCOMOTIVE, John Kavavitch Fatally Injured While Walking Along the Pemlckey Kallroad.

Republican Clubs to Parade. The regular meeting of the Americus Republican Club wiU be held nt the club house on Smithfield street next Satnrday evening. The Board of Trustees met yesterday afternoon and made arrange ments for the parade the club decided to have on the evening of October a As there will not be a general Republican demonstration on that evening the trustees decided to invite all other Republican clubs of the county to join with the Americus.

John Frankcabbage, while at work on a house on Woods' Run avenue, Allegheny, yesterday afternoon had his leg broken by a hodful of brick falling on it from the second-story of the building. He was taken to the Allegheny General Hospital by the Allegheny patrol o WAITED ON EVERSON. A Committee of the Elba Strikers Confers With the Manager. THEY GET NO SATISFACTION. Th Finn Will Not Treat With ths Amalga mated Association. PRESIDENT WEIHE WAS PRESENT It was expected that the conference yes terday between the strikers' committee and Manager Everson, of the Elba Iron Works, would result in an amicable adjustment of the trouble at that mllL Contrary to gen eral expectation, it had the opposite effect, and virtually widened the already extended breach between the.company and the men. The company's position was clearly defined by the manager in such a way that it could not he mistaken, and he said there would be no backdown from it The strikers claim this had no effect upon their determination to hold out, and they are as strong and as hopeful as ever. President Weihe, of the Amalgamated Association, went to Demmler yesterday to attend to some minor matters and on his way home stopped off at the Elba works. He had a consultation with the leaders of the strike, and.it was decided to go to Man ager Everson and find out if some settle ment could not be arrived at Accordingly a committee of five and President Weiho went to the companv's office and were in conference with Manager Everson for two hours. The meeting was a breezy one. Wouldn't Treat With the Association. The strikers asked Manager Everson to sign the scale. He said it was too late to talk of scale or Amalgamated Association now, as the company had decided to run their own affairs in the futnre. He-told the men that there was no possibility of a set tlement and the only way in which the men could obtain their positions was to make application for them. If they were still vacant, he would have no objection to re placing them, but on no account would he discharge any of the men he now has, white or colored, it their work was satisfactory. Manager Everson said it was not a matter of three turns as it had gone too far to con sider that now, but it was the question of running the mill as the'y pleased. He said they paid the prices required by the Amalgamated scale and it was therefore not a question of saving money. President Weihe was asked after the con ference what he thought of the result and said: "Mr. Everson will not consider the subject of signing the scale. He seems de termined to run non-union. All this trouble about the three turns could have been remedied if Manager Everson would have said that he would not try to run three turns it it was not practical when the question was asked him. You can readily see, in order to get the three tnrns in the 24 hours some of the puddlers would perhaps get only three or four beats, which would not eive them ttheir day's wages. Mr. Everson wants to run his mill the fnll 24 hours irrespective ot the number of heats a man can get out ' The Length of a Tarn. "To make five heats it would require at least nine hours and a quarter to do justice to the quality of the iron and to keep the furnace lu good condition in order to give results which would give "a finished prod uct" Manager Everson said in regard to the re sult of the conference: "The Amalgamated Association has angled with us for some time. Now they come again and ask us to sign. It is simply out of the question. We are getting along nicely, improving every day. To-aay has been by far the most suc cessful since we started up. New workmen are coming in wJio are thoroughly experienced. We have a colored roller who is the best workman we have ever had in onr mill. The strikers are beaten, and they should acknowledge it They played what they thonght would be their winning card when they tried to get the pipe mill men to come out When the whistle blew for work last Monday morning we had enough men to start up several mills. Scarcity of iron prevents us running as full as usual." One of the strikers' Press Committee said: "Of all the men .who are out there are only ten who have not obtained positions else where. In some instances the' positions are not as lucrative as those held in the Elba, but they get fair compensation." An employment agent has secured 100 colored iron workers front Alabama, who will be at work next week. To Locate In Paris. J. Elmer Salisbury, the young South side artist, leaves to-day for Paris to reside permanently. Mr. Salisbury went to Paris several years ago and completed his train ing in the use of the brush. He married there and came home a little over a year ago with the intention of locating in Pitts burg. Better inducements have been offered him recently, however, to return to Pari, and he will sail Saturday from New York. Pleased With the Trip. The Conkling Marching Club, on its return from Washington last evening, marched over the principal streets of the Southside, and then returned to their quarters on South Twelfth street Before dispersing a number of addresses were made by some of the leading members, con gratulating the club upon its successful trip and the "way in which the members had conducted- themselves.

Allegheny Finance Committee Decide to Spend 81,850,000 in Water Improve ments -Tho Question WIU Go to a Tote of the People Other Measures Adopted. A' special meeting of the Allegheny Finance Committee was held last night to take action on the ordinance submitting to a vote of the people toe question of a bond issue. Mr. Arthnr Kennedy, chairman of the sub-committee, presented the ordinance recommended by that body. It provided for an issue of $2,000,000 worth of bonds, of which $1,000,000 was for water extension, ,5600,000 for street improvements, $300,000 lor sewers and tiuo.uou lor lignting pur poses. When it had been read Mayor Kennedy explained the proposed clan of extending the water main to Six-Mile Island. Ex-Councilman Cochran said he favored the water extension. He suggested, how ever, that they make it $1,600,000 for water and go to Nine-Mile Island, but he was op posed to the other measure. They could improve their streets gradually, he thought Mr. Arthur Kennedy said they were acting in accordance with the wishes of the people who wanted all these improvements. Presi dent Lindsay and Mr. Dahlinger said they believed it best to allow the people to vote separately on tneumerent improvements. Mr. Parke favored two ballots, one for water extension and one for the other im provements, and moved they increase the amount to 51,250,000. This was adopted and the other amounts on motion were fixed as recommended by the sub-committee? After some further discussion as to the manner in which the ballots should be prepared it was decided to have the City Solicitor prepare two ballots. One is for the question of water extension and the other includes streets, sewers and lighting. Special meetings of Councils will be called soon to take action on the measures.
