MOTTOES THAT CAUU11T THE CEOWDS The Southside had its political baptism for this campaign last night, but it didn't lose its head on that account There was plenty of red fire, a superabundance of horns and considerable enthusiasm. The small boy had lots of fun. He blew the largest horns yet developed in politics and burnt most of the red fire. Carson street is usually a pretty lively thoroughfare on a Saturday night, and the pavements were well filled with marketers as well as spectators last night The crowds bejan to gather at the street corners before 8 o'clock, the hour originally set for the starting of the parade from the Smithfield street bridge.

The orderliness of the populace permitted the swarms or pretty girls, for whom the Southside is justly lamous, to add a warm and gracious color to the fringe of humanity which all the sidewalks on Carson and Sarah streets boasted as the evening slipped away. lie 'Was Xot Very Fopular. Here and there a drunken man or a too enthusiastic crank kept the crowds amused. A gentleman in a light mahogany suit made Carson street, between Uinth and Thir teenth streets, resound with his emphatic declaration that Cleveland was "the peo ple,'" as he put it A few men at Four teenth street corner objected to this Demo cratic anthem and the mahogany suit became acquainted with Southside, naud of a darker hue. But even the scuf 'ch led up to this Democratic de- i t good .natured and both sides were good enough friefMs to stJJourn lor a liquid truce to a neighboring saloon. An elderly citizen with a gray billy goat beard and a pronounced German accent amused the bystanders on the block between Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets. He had a large market basket filled with groceries upon his arm, and in his right hand a small bouquet of flowers. He insisted upon every Republi can smelling the flowers, w bile lie chanted an ancient ditty in a weak falsetto that lent a weird piquancy to the big German words. Xobody complained of this antique party's attentions, and he wandered in and out of the saloons happy in the idea that he was a whole parade to himself for whom the horns were tooting and the red fire burning. KYCrjbody "VTas in Good Humor. Good humor and a terrific clangor of horns were the prevailing features of the crowds which waited for the parade. A Democratic club of boys from the Twenty eighth ward, marched down Carson street, about 8 o'clock, vita a baud just ahead of the handsome contingent of Conkling club men as they proceeded to the rendezous. The Democrats bore one transparency showing a view of the Homestead mill fence, and this evoked yells of approval end some personalities aimed at the Car negie firm wherever it was seen. The parade was late starting, for it was in the neighborhood of 8:15 when the mounted aides shook up their horses and walked ont JJanners Carried inthi Tarade. at the head of the procession. The report of the deplor?ble accident upon Wylie avenue had reached the assembled Repub licans by this time and had a most de pressing effect HI news flies apace, and tin. soiy of the fatalities across the river ' a knonn from one end of Carson street to tty oilier before the cars stopped running, as they very wisely and properly did by amn,-"i lent before the parade started. rr-te(i liy Welcoming Cheers. The cro'vds had grown denser by this time, but a halthy cockroach would still Ime naa a cl acce lor its life upon any part of the Carson street sidewalk at 9 o'clock. There were some hearty cheers when the 50 or CO horsemen appeared in the van. The red fire and the cries of the bystanders seemed to have no terrors for the bortes, and the whole width of Carson street was readily given the marching men, so thatsomething like milirary irJerwas preserved. Jlelnnd tha cavaliers came the Young Mt-n's, Tarifi Club, of Pittsburg, marching like veterans, their white hats and gaiters seeping admirable time' The mmicians stuck to "Old 1 ' most of the time. This organ - the hit of the parade. They mi ' i ong j MSS' $U$ ,&-l Mrf with banners and silk national flags flying. Then came a lot of carriages, with no room to spare in any of them. A handsome battalion of boys, the Tariff Cadets, came next, followed by the Union Republican Clubs of voters, whose chief ornament was the shiny silk hat that each man wore." More boys in white caps 4 'JJWBl la n IpC Snapshots at the Parade. and uniforms, marching under the banner of the Allegheny Republican Cadet Club, formed the next link. Pioneers of Protection. The Twelfth "Ward Club, the next In order, claimed the honor on their banners of being the first Protection club formed in the city. There were no blockades of any consequence and the men were halted sel dom, so that the Colonel Stone Republican Club, of Allegheny; more carriages, the Stanton Club, of Mansfield; the Mansfield Marching Club, several squads of boys, and the Twenty-first Ward Club passed in quick succession. The first transparency of the parade was borne by the Twenty-first warders. It bore grandfather's hat in outline, with the Re publican ticket on the other side. The Young Men's Fourteenth Ward Club stepped up close behind, and then four horses bad all they could do to pull the ponderous wagon loaded with the shining lights of the James F. Richards Club. At the corner of Thirteenth street, where the parade turned off to Sarah street, the Richards Club wagon swayed in a most disconcerting manner for a moment, but much to everyone's relief nobody was spilled. The mottoes on transparencies came thicker for the next minute or two, one which bore tne inscription: "We Kept the Democrats Clean Before the War We Won't Do It Xow!" creating a good deal of laughter. Other transparen cies carried the battle cries ot Republican ism, such as "Protection, Reciprocity and Honest Money," and "Vote to Protect Your Homes and Wages." Ko Time for Wildcat Ranks. A slap at the wild-cat banking plank of the Democratic platform was bravely ad ministered by men in a four-horse wagon Fantastics From the Sill Districts. who threw ont shin plasters by the thou sand among the crowd. A banner following this warned voters that the South would be in the saddle if the Democrats came into power. The total number of men in line cannot have been far from 2,000, and they occupied exactlr 20 minutes passing the corner of Thirteenth ana Carson streets. The police arrangements were capital, and the absolute cessation of car traffic while the men were marching left the en tire route clear. The Democrats utilized the occasion by burning a lot of red fire at their headquarters on Carson street, from the windows of which they sprinkled the pedestrians with good Democratic litera ture the evening throush. A WOMAN'S POCKET PICKED. Officers Have a Lively Time Arresting Two Men on the Southside One of Them "Wanted in Cincinnati for Larceny. An exciting fight occurred at South Four teenth and Carson streets just after the parade was over last night Inspector Mc Ivelvy and Detective McTighe had gone to the Southside to assist the force iu watch ing for pickpockets. After the parade had passed down Carson street a woman on her way from the market reported to Inspector Kelly that she had been robbed of her pocketbook containing $12. She pointed out two men whom she suspected ot having committed the robbery, and the officers started for them. The men showed fight from the start and gave the officers a hard chase. Detective 3fcTighe caught one ot the men, who turned on him and dealt him a heavy blow in the face. Special Officer Kelly came to the assistance of McTighe and his assailant was landed in the Twenty-eighth ward sta tion house. Inspectors JIcKelvy and Kelly chased the other mau down South Fourteenth street and caught him as he was about to disappear in an alley, and he was also locked up. The woman who lost her pocketbook identified one of the men, who gave his name as Frank Robinson, as the one who had attempted to take her purse, and she thought he got it The, other prisoner gave his name as Michael Devlin. The police recognized in the first man ar rested Orlando Bobbins, a man who is wanted in Cincinnati for grand larceny. The authorities here were notified a few days ago that Bobbins had come to Pittsburg, and Inspector JIcKelvy suspected that he would be on the Southside last night Tought While the Parade Passed. William Myers, Thomas Jones and Jo seph Collins got into a fight at the corner of Carson and South Fourteenth streets, South side, during the parade last night, and were arrested. LawrenceviUe Juniors Parade. There were several juvenile marching .ar.rfi. ; .Ai.taLiML .':- r" . - WflWTUB ' I r ml iv III r Y I I - I clubs paradinS in LawrenceviUe last night, including the Tenth Ward Junior Demo cratic, J.

The Republican Clubs Mak a Good Im pression on the Sonthslde Cheap Money Scattered on the Streets A Tall Escort Formation of the Parade. The Republican demonstration was a suc cessful one. At least 2,000 men were in line and an excellent appearance was made. The men looked well and handsome uniforms and good marching were the order. Car son and Sarah streets along the line of march were ablaze with fireworks, while lanterns and decorations adorned a greater number of the houses. Conspicuous among the elubs was the C. L. Magee Guards, formerly the Six-Footers. Every man was over six feet tall, and .with their high shakos they looked like giants. They acted as escort to the marshal and his staff: The Knoxville Washtub Club attracted considerable attention. Its members were arrayed in gaudy colored skirts with hoops and'bonnets, and presented a ludicrous ap pearance. A half dozen wagons from the same borough were loaded with men and ban ners. One of the wagons was gotten up to represent a "State bank of Democracy." Imitation paper money was thrown from it bearing the inscription: ''Will pay bearer fo in notes of any other bank not worth as much as the notes of this bank." Their banners bore various inscriptions, one of which was: "We Kept the Democrats Clean Before the War; We Won't Do It Now." Honors for the Conkllng Club. The Conklin Marching Club was another of those conspicuous bv reason of a fine ap pearance and good marching. They carried long red, white and blue plumes and looked very imposing. By no means least was the Yonng Men's Republican Tariff" Club. It was 300 strong, and with white hats, canes, gaiters, etc., they looked handsome. Allegheny, McKeesport, McKee's Rocks, Mansfield and Bridgeville were all repre sented by clubi The Southside clnbs formed on Carson street with the right resting at the Pitts burg and Lake Erie Railroad depot The other Pittsburg and Allegheny clubs formed on Water street, with the right resting on Smithfield street Thev then moved across the Smithfield Btreet bridge and fell in on the left of the Southside clubs. The line was not split into divisions. They then moved up Carson street to South Thirteenth street, to Sarah street, to South Thirtieth street, where they passed in re view, to Carson street and were there dis missed. How the Men Marched.

WAS TOO ENTHUSIASTIC. A Colored Boy Takes a Fit While Watching the Parade. Last night about 8 o'clock a colored boy about 14 years old was . standing at "Wood and "Water streets watch ing the parade forming, when he suddenly fell to the street in a fit In their efforts to get out of the war the crowd trampled all over the boy and injured him severely He was removed to the Homeopathic Hospital, but could not be revived to con sciousness, and his name or residence could not be learned. There are no serious wounds on the boy, except body bruises. VICTIMS OF THE BAIL. Two Sisters Killed by a Passenger Train at Conemaugh.

Thomas Mifflin fell from the fourth story of the new Arbuckle building, on Seventh street. He will probably die. His back was badly injured. Charles Petrie, a 4-year-old boy living on Neville Island, fell into a kettle ot hot ketchup yesterday. The doctors think they can save his life. STILL OUT 0? SIGHT. Officers Still Unable to Locate Burgess McLuckle in Youngstown. Although Burgess McLuckie, of Home stead, is still in Yonngstown the officers charged with his arrest on the warrant re cently issued for him have been unable to find him. It is alleged that his whereabouts is quite generally known among the mill men and that even the local officers would not find it impossible to locate him if his apprehension were really desired. "When something is definitely known as to when he will actually be wanted for trial his ar rest will probably follow, if he does not anticipate legal processes bv voluntarily surrendering himself in Pittsburg. Boys Punished for Their Mischief. Five boys ranging in age from 10 to 15 years of age, named Willie Flynn, 'George Limbo, Al Smith, "William Hicks and "Wil lie Mercer were each fined fo and costs last night by Alderman King for disorderly con duct. The boys had been pulling coupling pins on the Panhandle road and cutting trains into sections and were arrested by the railroad detective. Dry in the Fifth Sand. One of the members of the .Florence Oil Company arrived in Pittsburg last evening, and stated that their well on the Miller farm, two miles south of Willow Grove, was through the fifth sand and no g'ood in that formation.

Property Holders Are Pissatisfied Their Execution. With 5TECET CONTRACTORS WANT INTEREST Citr Attorney Moreland was yesterday served with papers in all the cases which will come before the Supreme Court at its present sitting in which the city is inter ested. The cases are all well up in the calendar and some of them are likely to be reached during the present week. There are nine cases altogether, the city appear ing as plaintiff in seven, while she is inter ested in the other two because tbey insure an attack on existing city legislation. Six of the suits are aimed at the curative acts passed by the last Legislature to relieve the municipality from paying for improve ments made under the street laws of 1887 and 1889. declared null and void by the Su preme Court. The Mt "Washington resi dents who have fought so vigorously to avoid paying for their street improvements are the plaintiffs in five cases. They are the property holders on Boggs avenue, Shiloh, De Sota, Omega and Tioga streets. Several residents of Amberson avenue, Shadyside, have similar suits. A Definition of Practice Wanted. The appeal in each case is the same. The property holders desire the court to define the practice under the curative law. As it stands the Board of Viewers report to the court. Their report lies 20 days subject to exceptions. "When the 20 days have'ex pired the court has power to confirm, modify, quash or send the report to a new board for correction. The plaintiffs claim the right to ignore the viewers entirely until their report has been submitted to the court. In the three Common Pleas courts it has been decided that every person having claims tor damages or objection to assess ments must appear before the Board of Viewers, submit proof of the claims, file exceptions before the board and offer to go into a hearing on them. It has also been decided in the lower courts that when they go into court appellants must be able to show on the face of their exceptions some indication ot injustice, the court hold ing that it w 111 treat the report of the view ers with respect and the presumption of fairness, especially as the vieners are not only Under oath, but to mace a personal in spection of the affected property and to hear all parties in interest, including a hearing on any exceptions filed before them. What the Plaintiffs Wonld Gain. The only gain to the plaintiffs in these cases, should they get a favorable decision, will be an ODportunity to delay the pay ment of their assessments. They would have an opportunity to secure the appoint ment of a commissioner to take testimony and drag the matter along for six months or a year. The City Attorney expects the lower courts to be affirmed, however, as if they are reversed the Board of Viewers will be practically declared useless and the assessments will be made by the court "With the exception of five or six improvements now in the Common Pleas Courts and awaiting jury trials on the ques tion of damages, all the improvements affected by the curative act are settled, barring those on which the appeals are taken. The last confirmations by the court were Center avenue, Frankstown avenue and Roup street improvements, on which to-morrow the City Treasurer will begin collections. Another case asainst the city is that of Booth & Flinn for interest on their money spent in grading and paving South Twenty- eighth street, xne lower court aeciuen that according to their contract Booth & Flinn could not collect interest until two years after the work was completed. A Demand for Interest. The firm demands interest from the time the work was finished. Since this suit was brought Councils passed au ordinance allowing contractors 6 per cent from the time ot completion ot work. If the appeal is allowed a number of other contracts will be affected. City officials take deep interest in the case of James McKay versus Rose Trainor, which involves the validity ot the registry act of 187L The act requires all parties owning property in the city to have their deeds registered in the City Engineer's office. Robert A. Dixon was the registered owner of a lot in the Thirteenth ward, which W8S sold by the Sheriff for taxes, in the name of Robert and Thomas C Dixon, and was bought in by McKay. Robert A. Dixon, being the registered owner previously, was not notified of the sale and contends that under the act of 1871 he is not divested of his title to the property. The act of 1871 savs no property can be sold for taxes or municipal liens, except in the name of the registered owner, who must previously have been personally notified. An act of 1877 declares a Sheriff's sale made in the name of an un known owner shall vest the title in the pur chaser, subject to the right of redemption within one year by the lawful owner. Say the Registry Act Is Repealed. McKay contends this act repeals the act of 1871 and that as the sale was made in the name of an unknown owner, the sale stands and the property is his. The court below sustained him, but it is to the interest of the city that the lower couu be reversed. The registry act of 1871 is considered one of the best laws the city has. It protects property holders from having their property sold over their heads by the Sheriff for taxes or municipal liens witnout their get ting due notice and a chance to avert the trouble. It protects the city rfrom tin scrupulous owners dodging their taxes, and on the line of street improvements shows ka reliable record ot tne properties liable to assessment In every way the law is liked by the authorities because under it every property is properly recorded without reference to the county records, and the city is thereby saved thousands of dollars annually in numerous ways. The plaintiffs in the case assert that the law of, 1877 is a general law, and does not repeal that of 1871, which is a local special law. They claim the two laws stand together and do not conflict.

Mahou, Chief Government Ganger, Dies After a Brief Illness A Post Mortem Shows a Fatty Degenera tion of the Heart Taken Home for Burial. ' Captain G. C. Mabon, chief government ganger, stationed in this city, died suddenly at the Hotel Albion yesterday morning. Fatty degeneration of the heart was the cause. Captain Mabou was 60 years of age and his home is at New Florence, Pa. The body will be taken there for burial to-day. A wife and two sons residing at New Florence survive the genial officer. He was a promi nent member of the Masonic fraternity and was connected with a number of other organizations, besides having hosts of friends all over "Western Pennsylvania.

Yesterday morning the porter want to his room and found the captain rolling on the floor in an agony of pain. He was put to bed and Dr. McCann summoned, but five minutes before the doctor reached him death had'eome. The Coroner was notified and the body was removed to the morgue. It was at first supposed that death had resulted from cholera morbus but a post mortem exami nation showed that fatty degeneration of the heart was the cause. A HOMESTEAD EDITOKIAL. The Official Organ of the Advisory Board Says That the Strike Is Lost. Homestead was surprised yesterday by an editorial in the Local Mews, that has heretofore been considered the official organ of the Advisory Board. Among other things it says: The Homestead situation to-day is a pe culiar one. On one hand the spectacle is presented of over 2,000 workmen in the mill, among wiiom are about 200 or the former Homestead employes. A number of skilled workmen Horn Braddock, Duquesne, Pitts burg and other places are among the non union workmen. The non-union workmen now live in and about the works, and within the boiough of Homestead. Nobody denies these facts. If they do they aie blind. That the company has won is admitted by many, busino-s men and citizens, huge num bers of mechanics, prominent Amalg amated men and certain members of the Advisory Board. Thee ad missions aro as a rule confidential, but nono the less true. On the other hand the specta cle is presented of between two and three thousand idle workmen walking the streets of Homestead, keeping up the expectation that sooner or later they will win the strike. The only result the strikers can show Is that they are keeping themselves well in line, and aro causing the steel firm loss and trouble. The candid observer can come to the lollowing conclusions only: Fiist The Carnegie Steel Company is gradually succeeding. Second The gieac Homestead strike is dying out THEIR BUSINESS STHAIGHT, Bnt Two Lace Peddlers "Were Held for "Vio lating an Ordinance. The police were apprised yesterday of the action of two men who were visiting the residences about the East End and selling a fine quality of lace. Detectives were sent out to locate them, and at 8 o'clock last night Detective Bobinson arrested them at the Centril Hotel The men were taken to Superintendent O'Mara's office, and explained their business as ped dlers. Their names were H. Herman and Henry Dumont, of Kew York. They dealt in lace and sold it in sets of collars and cuffs, at $50 a set They maintained the legitimacy of their business, and said that they bad two trunks full of the goods at the hotel and expected to sell it all before they left town. So far as could be ascertained their business was straight, but as they had failed to take out a peddler's license" they were held for violating a city ordinance. K. Smit, the pawnbroker, put up forfeits of $55 for each of them for a hearing before Alderman Gripp to-morrow, and they were released. DIDN'T MAKE HIS TBAIN. Henry Bush Is Arrested When Starting for Cleveland. Henry Rush was sent to jail yesterday by Magistrate Succop, for drunkenness, but it is nnderstood he is wanted for assaulting his step-son in theEastEnd. Late on Friday evening, Ruh went into Soffel's saloon on Carson street, opposite the Panhandle de pot, and while drinking there told the bar tender that he was glad he got away from the East End; that he thought he was wanted out there. Rush then started for the Lake Erie depot, where he bought a ticket for Cleveland, and as he was about to board the train Officer Boyle arrested him. A charge of drunkenness was made against him and he was sent to jail. In the meantime the police are investigating the East End story. It is said Rush got into a disputewith his step-son and hit the latter on the head wijh a beer glass. Suits Grow Out of a Quarrel. Joseph Shanholtz, who lives corner Penn avenue and Sixteenth street, gave a party the other evening to some friends. They drank freely and then the host and M. Morris had a fight Mor ris struck Shanholtz on the .hand with a water pitcher, cutting an ugly gash.

Gates, -President of the Braddock "Wire Company, left for Chicago last even ing to be present at the dedication of the "World's Fair buildings. Mr. Gates is an ardent Republican and a great Blaine man. "1 think," he said, "if Harrison is re-elected the price of iron will improve. His success may not have the slightest effect on business, but I am convinced if Cleveland is elected that things will go from bad to worse. Poli tics doesn't have as much to do with trade as in former years, but elections always disturb business' more or less. If Cleveland is elected the chances are the House and Senate will go Democratic and that would be very bad for the country. A dose of tariff reform wonld ruin trade." The demand is not nearly up to the supply and this is the trouble with the iron markets. I look for some improvement after the election." THE EAST END PABADE.
