Tho Carnegie Company Tells the Naval Department 'Why tho Monterey's riato Contract Is Not Fllled-N'o Date Can Bo Set for Furnishing the Covering of the Vessel's Turrets. Cruiser No 6. which is being constructed by the Union Iron Works, at San Fran ciscco, has reached so lor ward a state of progress that the date of her launching has been fixed lor November 5, and it is in tended by the Union Iron AVorks to make the event a notable one. Governor Mark ham and stafi will be invited, as will also all the prominent military and naval officials of the coast, says au Associated Press dis patch. Cruiser No. C has not yet been named by the Government, but instructions are daily expected from "Washington which will settle the mooted question. The cruiser will be the largest war ves sel yet launched by the Union Iron Works, exceeding in size the Charleston or San Trancisco. Her total length will be 344 feet. Her mean draught will be 21 feet and her extreme breadth o3 feet. Her depth trill be 33 feet and her total displacement 6,800 tons. With double screws and triple expansion engines, her speed is estimated at 20? knots with forced draught With natural draught, her engines will develop 9,500 horse-power. Her armament will consist ot four 8 inch breech loading rifles and ten 5 inch guns of the same class, be sides 12 rapid firing rifles of less caliber, and she will be equipped with six Howell tornedo tubes. , The Carnegie works in Pennsylvania have notified the Naval Department that tt.ey cannot name the time of delivery of the vertical plates to complete the turrets of the coast defense vessel Monterey, owing to the continued efiects of the Homestead strike. Nothing is now lacking for the completion of that vessel but these plates. The gun turrets and carriages are all in position, and the great 12-inch guns will be mounted in a few days. Had there been no delay in the deliverv of the plates, the Monterey could have been completed and delivered to the Government 'on June 14, as agreed on by the contractors. The contractors are anxious to have the Monterey accepted as it is, and let the tur rets be completed by the Government at Mare Island. The dock trial of the engines of the Monterey was recently had, with very successful results. They are guaran teed to exhibit 5,400 horse-power on forced draught, and on regular trial the contract ors are to receive $100 for every horse-power over that figure. The Monterey will have a trial trip as soon as the big guns are placed in the turrets. WANT IT HADE A HIGH SCHOOL. People Oct Fifth Aenuo Raise Their Voices on the Market Honse Scheme. A public meeting is to held in the Four teenth ward next Thursday or Friday even ing to formulate a protest to Councils against the lease of the Fifth avenue mar ket house for military purposes and to urge that the proposition of the Central Board of Education asking for the property as a high school site be accepted. The property owners and business men in that part of the city are almost a unit in their opposition to having the militia occupy the building. When the lease was previously under con sideration a delegation of the most promi nent of the property holders attended the Finance Committee meeting in a body to oppose it Freese and Aufderheide, Mugele & Sons, William Smith, James Martin, James I5oj le and others are taking an interest in the'present movement A number of owners who reside elsewhere have authorized their agents to join in the opposition and to urge upon Councils the necessity for allowing the use of the property for a High School!

TJCow a Newsboy Disposed of a Stock of Stuck Extras. A newsboy stood at the corner of Fifth avenue and Smithfield street last evening. People were hurrying by on their way to the theaters. The boy had a bundle of "baseball extras" under his arm. They wouldn't sell and he hadn't money enough to go to the show. His face was long and sad. Suddenly three fire engines and all the confusion which generally attends them, came to the corner and stopped. A small fire bad been discovered in a cellar on Fifth avenue just above. The firemen in a few moments put out the blaze with a chem ical extinguisher. Crowds of people gathered in "the mean time, but the boy had taken no interest in the excitement Finally an inspiration came. The boy started 'down Smithfield street on a run. 'VExtree! Extree! All 'bout the fire!" ITe hadn't gone a block until he sold four papers. He continued on down the street Twenty minutes later the same boy occu pied a front seat in one of the Fifth avenue playhouse galleries. AHOTHEB DEATH FE0H SMALLPOX.

IT WILL HELP THE DEMOCRATS And Will Increass the Number of Totes of Coth Parties. NO COUMET ROAD LEGISLATION Senator Jesse M. Baker, of Delaware county, author of the Baker ballot law, was at the Seventh Avenue Hotel last night Senator .Baker passed through Pittsburg yesterday morning on his way to Mer cer, Pa., to attend a meeting of the Soldiers' Orphans' Commission at that place. 'Immediately upon his arrival at Mercer, Senator Baker was notified by wire of the serious sickness of his 10-year- old danghter. He left Mercer on the first train, but arrived in Pittsburg just three minutes too late to catch the fast line East at 8:10. Restless and impatient, he re mained at his hotel until 120 this morning, when he left for his home. "I am so worried I scarcely know whether I am on my head or heels," the Senator said to a Dispatch reporter. "I suspect I am just at this time au unpopular man hereabouts and the Baker ballot bill is probably more unpopular even than I am. But," the Senator went on, "the ballot law is all right and will grow strong just as the reform ballot laws in the other States have accumulated strength and popularity after once having been used. The Growth of Ballot Reform. "There are now 34 States in the Union in which reform election laws are being ex perimented with, and in each State at each succeeding election the laws become more popular and the people are more enthusi astic in their support The Baker ballot law as we now have it is not the measure that was sent from the Bal lot Reform Association to the Legislature. The bill was horribly mangled in the Sen ate. The politicians of Allegheny and Philadelphia were responsible for the mu tilation. When the measure was referred to a Conference Committee of the two branches we found that Senator Neeb, of Allegheny, and Senator Gobin,of Lebanon, were bitterly opposed to the proposed law. Senator Greene, of Berks, the other mem ber of the Conference Committee from the Senate side, was favorable to the measure. He contended, just as I did, that both the great political parties were pleged to ballot reform, and we were all convinced that the short time we had required prompt action. To have killed the measure after it had been sent to the Conference Committee would have been to delay the needed reform for two or three years more. "The new ballot law was originally de signed after the Massachusetts election lows, but by some oversight he neglected or failed to insert in our act the educational provision which is one of the Conspicuous features of the Massachusetts law. The disability featnre of my bill, however, sup plies the omission of the educational feature. The Legal Meaning or Disability. "We consulted one of the best Judges in the State on the meaning of the word dis ability as it is used in our ballot law. He decided that the word as used meant a voter who conld neither read or write, was blind or was palsied. Only such men are allowed by the, law to take a guide into tne voting booths with them, and if the question is ever raised it will be decided on that ground. For those Mho are not disabled and who may not uuder stand the somewhat complicated ballot a cample ballot printed on pink paper is sup plied. The voter is allowed to take this sample or pink ballot from the booth to some friend on the outside, who is allowed to make the sam ple ballot as the voter wants it marked. Then the voter can re turn to the booth and prepare his ballot from the sample ballot, and if he sees fit he can cbangeittosuithimself alter begets into the booth where he is provided with secrecy and seclusion." "What party in your judgment will be benefited by the new election law?" was asked. "I think it will increase the number of votes of both parties. The minority party, however, is likely to receive the greatest benefit Election frauds as a rule are prac ticed in cities by the majority party. The Republican party is in the majority in all the cities in this Sta'e, and therefore the Democratic party will profit most by the reform law. The Political Effect or Cariosity. "It is often argued that our new scheme will reduce the number of votes cast, but we contend that if for nothing else than curiosity many people will go out to vote this year who do not make it a rule to go to the polls, "Personally," Senator Baker went on, "I was anxious to delay the introduction of our ballot law until after the Presldental elec tion. I believed then as I believe now that before the law was tested many little un satisfactory featutcs would be found in it. To have delayed its operation would have allowed the next Legislature to have cor rected any of the evils discovered before any ef the features were made obnoxious to the people generally." "Will the next Legislature alter or amend the Baker ballot law?" "I think many alterations and changes will be made at the next session. The foundation and general structure of the law I thinK will not be disturbed. The de mand for ballot reform is too great to allow a general slaughter of the measure." HELD SEPAEATE MEETINGS. Eighteenth Ward Cleveland Club and Eaw rencevlllo Democrats Hold Sessions. Through a misunderstanding the Grover Cleveland Club of the Eighteenth ward and the Lawrence Democratic Association did not hold a joint meeting last evening as was intended. A mistake was made in sending out the notices and as a result the Grover Cleveland Club held a separate meeting in Huston's Hall, at Forty-ninth street In the absence of the President, Samuel Bellman, Vice President J. A. Flower occupied the chair. Nothing but routine business was trans acted. The Duquesne Greys Jr. Band fur nished musie and Frank L Grosser, the well known attorney, delivered a speech, which was-enthusiastically received. At the headquarters of the Lawreneeville Democratic Association, at 3403 Butler street, there was a slim attendance and nothing of importance was done. John F. Miller occupied the chair and speeches were made bv J. C. O'Donnell and James A. Mcl'ike. East Chance for Delinquent Voters.

Senator Critchfield Believes the Next Legis lature Will Make no Effort at a Uni form Eaw for Country Highways Con fident of Republican Success. Senator A. B. Critchfield, of Somerset, Pa,, was at the Seventh Avenue Hotel last night on his way to Venango county, where he will spend several days in making Re publican speeches. The Senator is confi dent of Republican success all over the country. He says Harrison will be re-elected President because the policy of the Republican partv suits the people. "And," the white-haire'd old Senator went on with a significant smile, "the people al ways have something to say when it comes to electing county, State and national offi cers. We will elect our Congressman easily up in our district, and I can see no way by which the Democrats can disturb ourmajor ity in the State." Senator Critchfield has always beenan ardent advocate of some law that will im prove the condition of the roads of the State. He is fearful, however, that the next Legislature, like the last one, will not even make an effort to enact a uniform road law. "The Members and Senators from the cities of the State have little or no concern for the country roads," Senator Critchfield said. "In many of tho rural counties they have special laws which have always prevented us from com bining on some law that would improve the roads and at the same time be satisfactorr to every county in the Commonwealth. For these reasons I have now no hope for country road legislation at the next session at least," A CALL FOB AID. Mayor Gonrley Asks Plttsbnrgors to Kolleve People of St Petersburg. J. M. Gufley yesterday morning received a letter from St Petersburg, Clarion coun ty, asking him to secure aid for the people of that place who recently lost their all in a disastrous fire. The letter was referred to Mayor Gourley, who promptly issued a call to the citizens of Pittsburg. In his appeal the Mayor asks that everybody who is able to contribute something to the stricken town. In conclusion Mayor Gourley says: "StPetersburg has In the past responded to the call of others In the time of ncd. Why should not a generous respond be made to the appeal of her own people? They don't ask for much. A little from each .will re lieve their wants. Those desiring to con tribute will please send their remittances to William B. Thompson, banker, Fourth avenue and Wood street, this city. He has kindly consented to act as treasurer of the fund and will promptly forward tne money to St Petersburg." ENTHUSIASTIC DEM0CEATS.

As I pondered weak and zveary, Over many, a quaint and curious Volume of forgotten lore; Suddenly there came a rapping, -As of someone gently tapping, Tapping at my cliamber door.

ALL THE GOOD SITES TAKEN DP. The State Legislature to Ee Asked for the Tower to Condemn. AN INVESTIGATING TRIP TO BE MADE The first meeting of the Free Bridge Com mittee was held yesterday afternoon and the members got down to business. Kirk Q. Bigham, of Common Council, was made Chairman. Mr. Robertson, who claims the credit for keeping up the free bridge agita tion until Councils appropriated money for it, ofiered a motion that the committee at once select a site between the South Tenth and Smithfield street bridges. Mr. Shannon opposed the motion as too arbitrary. "To carry out such a motion," he said, "would mean the practical ruin of the adjacent bridges as an investment Few people would patronize a toll bridge when they could get across the river free by going up or down a block or two. It is probable that if the revenues of the bridge were thhs cut off the directors would bring suit against the city for big damages." Criticizing the Bridge Companies. "If the bridge companies had lived up to the letter ot their charters," replied Mr. Robertson, "all the bridges over thie Mo nongahcla would by this time have reverted to the city. Tke State granted them char ters conditioned so that when a certain amount had been earned the property would revert to ?he city, but the directors knew how to manage their aftairs so that from year to year they have avoided living up to this obligation. As far back as 1872 the right ot the city to pwn the bridges to the Southside was unquestioned. It was about the time the Southside was taken into the city. As an inducement to the people over there free bridges had been promised. A condemnation act was passed by the Legis lature, and under it a committee of 18 was -appointed to proceed with tha condemna tion of the bridges. There was not then the popular demand for free bridges there is to-day and the condemnation com mission did "nothing. To-day only one member of it, is alive, Mr. B. F. Jones. The act empowered the members to fill va cancies by appointment, but two years ago the only surviving member of the com mission refused a request from our City Councils to 'take any action in the premises. Thus we are left without any legislation under which to proceed. Using tho Bridge for a Squeezer. "As to Mr. Shannon's objections they are not a bar to proceeding in this matter. I am in favor of building the free bridge just where it will take away the traffic from the toll bridges. If they found out we mean to do that they would be willing to come down and accept a reasonable figure for their property." Mr. Robertson withdrew his motiop, sub stituting one that the committee go over the whole river front and decide upon a site for the free bridges between the Smith field bridge and South Twenty-second street Chief Bigelow, who was present, here asked what would be done where another company held a charter for a Bite. "Vari ous parties hold charters for the best loca tions," said he. "One company has a charter to cross from the foot ot Ro'ss street Others have charters to cross from South Ninth and South Twenty-second streets, the best locations now unoccupied. Sup posing your committee should select one or the other of those, how could you take it?" "Buy the charter," said Mr? Ford. "We don't need to buy the charter," said Mr. Robertson. "The city won't need a charter for a bridge and a charter is no good to anyone else without an ordinance of councils. Thought tho Charters Were Worthless. Mr. Bigham said he believed a charter worthless if not carried into effect or work begun under it in two years, and he believed all existing charters iiad outlived that time. He opened a discussion relative to the pur chase of one of the present bridges, during which it was stated the Tenth Street Bridge Company was waiting in hopes the city would buy that structure. No considerable improvements have been made on it since the free bridge subject was first seriously talked of three "years ago, it is said, and the company expects to sell out to the city in stead ot putting up a modern bridge. Mr. Bigham explained that the Bridge Committee had been appointed to investi gate, not select sites. It had been in structed also to investigate the cost of building a new bridge and to re port on the advisability of bov ine any of the old bridges Mr. Robertson's motion was modified accord ing to the instructions and passed, next Friday afternoon being selected for the trip of investigation. A sub-committee com posed of Messrs. Wilson, Holliday and Anderson was appointed to confer with the owners of present bridges and report what value they placed on their plants and what basis they would agree to in a sale to the city. Messrs Robertson, Shannon, Ford and Bingham were appointed a committee to draft a bill for the uext Legislature pro- OCTOBER i, 1892. viding for the condemnation of bridges. The bill is to be framed to please the com hiitlee and will be given the approval of Councils before being sent to Harrisburg. BIGELOW WANTS A SURVEY Made of tho Indian Creek Water Scheme The Company Preparing to Break Into Councils An Ohio Pylo Man's Poor Opinion of Indian Creek. Half a dozen members of the Western Water Company called on Chief Bigelow yesterday afternoon to submit some draw ings of their proposed scheme and to ask bis assistance in getting their proposi tion properly launched in Councils. The visitors received little hope that their scheme would receive any support at this time. Mr. Bigelow thinks there is plenty of time to consider the subject Pittsburg's water supply is, in his estima tion, better than that nf90 per cent of the cities in the 'country and equal to that of the other 10. While admittine that the time is cominsr when the rivers will be nothing but big sewers, he says it will not be necessary to make a change lor 15 or 20 years. In the meautime he favors an in vestigation of any sensible project sug gested. Before taking any stock in the Indian creek scheme, he thinks the proper officers oTthe three cities should satisly themselves whether it would be feasible. He has com municated with them asking their co operation to have a survey made, and if that scheme is out of the question, he wants others looked into. As to the scheme of se curing a Gravity flow from the headwaters of the Monongahela in West Virginia, he says that is no good, and not worth a second thought The mountains of Pennsylvania, he says, are the place to gqor a water supply. B. B. Oonlnj of Ohio Ifc-le, was in the city yesterday. He has given the subject of water supply considerable attention, and deprecated the Indian creek scheme. "There is not enough water to-day in In dian creek to supply two of Pittsburg's rolling mills for 24 hours. There are months in the vear when there is not enouch water in the Youghiogheny river between AIc- iteesport and West Newton to raise a de cent fog. - Those are facts. For the past six weeks the water has been lower than it ever was before. "The artesian well ideals being Iargelv discussed at present in McKecsport, and I think it would be a good thing for the peo ple of Alleghenv to- consider. A shaft could be sunk to the depth of 1,000 feet in the vicinity of West JJeuton at several points along the river, whore pure water could be obtained in inexhaustible supply. It would cost a great deal less to put the artesian wells into operation than the In dian creek scheme and a great deal better results would be secured." An Expensive Fire on Smallman Street The ironclad stables at Park Bros.' steel works were totally destroyed by fire at noon yesterday. The loss was nearly 5.000, the building being packed with hay. A plan ing mill owned by Kenneyaw & Co., across the street, was damaged 550 worth, and the Equitable Gas Company's storeroom ad joining was destroyed, entailing a loss of 51,500. The origin of the fire is unknown. John Ferry, aged 13, employed at the office of the Simmonds Manulacturing Company, on Smallman street, near the fire, was caught under a sliding door and seriouslv hurt Going After Southside Speak-Easies. Two. Southside speak-easies were closed up last night One was that of Elizabeth Dunn, operated at 2512 Josephine street, and the other was Emma Green's, at 37 South Twentieth street Both women were arrested ,by Special.

Frank Smith, a Polish employe of the Union Mills, was attacked on Saturday night while on his way to his Home on Brereton avenue, and badlv beaten. He may die. He had been drinking during the afternoon and started for his home with two men with whom he had been quarreling. It is not believed that the assamlt was com mitted by strikers. Bun Down by a Train.

She was carried in an ambulance to thetWest Penn Hospital at 4 o'clock, where it was fonnd that she was suffering from a com pound fracture of the right thigh and femur.
