THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH. MONDAY. OCTOBER , 17. 1893.
'seph R. Ilcntcr said. "I know of no Gov
ernor or Consresm-in who attracts the peo
Jple like Francis Murphy. I think I know
the reason why. When Sir. Nsrrohy came
yhere in 1S76, 1 sat in the audience in this
house. I cuno out or curiosity, and I must
sav he caught me. Soon afternard I signed
)the pledge. I found out w nat was Murphy's
magnetism. Thoughnot out of tho woods. I
",am btronscr to-day than ever before. -V'o

charge of the American people and lead
them to temperance. I hive noth
ing hut kind words for Francis Murphy
to-night. It is now two years since he has
been here, and it has been a lonz time to
me. I welcome him in the name of the
people to his home. I welcome him in tho
name of tho boys he has saved and in the
name o; uou."
A Tribute to Abraham. Lincoln.
During the evenins Mr. Murphy delivered
ti speech that was well received. At times
his audience was in tears as ho related inci
dents from the lives of aninkard that had
como under his observation. His perora
tion was a magnificent tubutc to Abraham
Lincoln, who did not drink a drop of liquor
through the trying time of thenar. Tlio
clhnjnai reached t hen he mentioned old
Abe's name.aud the anpl.iusc was prolonged
and terrific
In his lemaiks Mr. 3Iurpliy said: "I nm
clad iu the providence of God that I am
home again. To this macniliccnt audience,
one of the most iracnificent I cer looked
upon, my heart h. so lull ot gratitude that I
can scaiccly speak to jou. I am like a

years since I have seen you. I ha e been
happy in the thought that I Mould

THE KEELEY SECTION.
Mr. Murphy Indorses the Old Gold Cure,
and Hopes the Doctor 'Will Make
Money Testimony of Men "Who Have
Been Reclaimed. -
It is well known that Francis Murphy is
a warm supporter of Dr. Keeley and his
cure. The Executive Committee of the
league raee Where" to-day and when Secre
tary Kelly heard that Francis Murphy
would speak Sunday evening he
telegraphed for John J. Finn and
Captain Mattoi to come on to the
meeting. Captain Mattox is a fine
looking, intelligent man, but the traces of
past dissipation are still visible in his face.
He made a short and effective speech.
Tho Executive Committee consists of five
members. At tho meeting to-dav arrange-
mimtn will hn mnrtA trtrflnnr n. bill for thA
Legislatuie, providing lor the Keeley euro to
be administered In jails and public institu
tions. Other business will come up, but this
is the most important.
In introducing Secretary Kelly, of tho
League, Mr. Murphy said:
"I thank God lor Dr. Keeley. I hope to
God Dr. Kcoloy will make mousy. He will
make good use of it."
Mr. Kelly saiu: "I occupy a strange posi
tion here to-night. I lemember Brother
Murphy 1G 5 care ago. I represent the Keeley
League. I know what good tho doctor has
done for lots of us. Drinking Is a disease.
After four weeks of treatment, the taste for
drink i taken away. I am glad tho Keeloy
ites and Murphyites stand on the sauio
rilatform. I am glad Mr. Murphy is with us.
Ic is a Keeleyito, though he never took the
euro. Wo have a meeting "of the Executive
Committee to morrow night, and Iirother
Murphy w ill speak for us."
In his speech Cantain Mattox, of Cincin
nati, said: "I came 300 miles partly to hear
Francis Murphy speak. I was brought np
in the good old Methodist Church. I went
to church frequently, but was not a church
member until lately. If anybody told me a
year ago that I would be talking temper
ance to-night, I would have pronounced
him crazy. I was a drunkard for 30 years,
and very unhappy. I took the Keeley cure
and now have a happy home, happy wife
and son. The tears of uiv wife unfortun
ately never touched me. Until a year ago T
hated temperance people. I thought they
hated me. But now I love theui. I would
walk from here to Cincinnati to help anv of
them." Applause.
Mr. Muiphy suggested that John J. Flinn,
of Chicago, be given a Pittsburg welcome.
11c got it. -Mr. r nnn saia: 1 came ncre on
a telegram lrom J. M. Kelly to hear Francis
Murpuy to-night. lam a Keeleyito. If it
had not been for men liko Murphy, Dr.
Keelev would not be as well received to-day
as he is. It is Murphism that has paved the
way for Keeleyism. There isn't anything
connected with Keeleyism that is not com
patible with Mr. Murphy's principles, that
is not compatible with tho gospel. But I
don't want to turn this meeting into a
Keelev gathering."
A collection was taken np to pay for the
expenses of the Opera Ilouse, which wero
$50. Mr. Mnrnhv Jollied the crowd cood
naturedly, and $S5 weio collected. When
the sum was announced the audience ap
plauded vigorously.

"Where to place the blame la the Wylie
avenue street car, accident Saturday night is
going to be a hard task. No two men tell
the same story. One man is willing to swear
that he saw the gripmeu do their best to
stop the cars, while the next, man who is
spoken to will say that 'no effort was made
to check the cars. This state of afiairs has
caused Coroner McDowell to postpone the
inquest until "Wednesday sfternoon at 2
o'clock. The case is so complicated that the
Coroner wants to thoroughly investigate it 1
before the hearing.
The sensational story that oil was poured
on the tracks by a small boy has been ex
ploded. It was thoroughlylnvestigated by
Coroner's Clerk Brush yesterday afternoon.
He, accompanied by a Dispatch reporter
and Superintendent Smith, visited the
scene oi the wreck. The tracks were closely
examined and there was no sign ot oiL It
was learned from bystanders that a boy had
been seen runuing in front ot the parade
trailing a broken torch along the rails. The
people said that Lieutenant Scott, of the
Police Department, had set the oil on fire
after the accident and burned it ofi.
Denied by the Bandsmen.
Sir. Scott could not be found in the after
noon, but the parties called on the members
of the band who had marched in the iront
rank. They all denied the story and said
that no one had been in front ot them com
ing down the avenue. Lieutenant Scott '
was found last night. He had not burned
any oil on the track, nor had he seen-any
evidence of anv or even heard that there
had been oil ou the tracks.
Superintendent "W. O. Smith, of the Cen
tral Traction Company, had this to say
about the disaster: "The accident, from all
that I can learn, wai purely unavoidable.
The men certainly did all in their power to
stop the cars. That slope is the most dan
gerous place we have on the road. This is
not the first time there has been trouble in
stopping cars there. The cars have often
slipped the length ot themselves on that
hilL Both 61 and SI had heavy loads on
Saturday night. It is an unusual thing to
come down with crowded cars. The travel
is usually scattered on the down trips.
A New Man on the Road.
"I have been told that Gripman Gledhill,
of gar 64, had his car nearly stopped at
Fulton street for some reason. He is a new
man on the road, but has' been doing very
good work, The fellow seemed to under
stand his duty. It hrsaid that he swore at
Ihe ci'oivd'a't Fulton street. I do not think
this is true. ' Tills' happens sometimes .be
tween gripmeu a'ad teamsters, but there was
no fight Saturday' night between my men
and the marchers. Gledhill had como down
through their lines for a couplo of squares
aud had.no trouble Coining flown tuc hill
he only had his grip on a short way. The car
was l uniting lteir. lliohurdson, the gripman
en car 51, is the oldest employe of tne com
pany, and until Saturday night never had
an accident. He certainly did all he could
to stop his car, but he had a heavier load
than Gledhill. Ihe brakes on both the cars
are as good as they can be. This Is evidenced
by the lact tuat the wheels were sliding.
"I was downtown when tho accident oc
curred. I did nut know that there wan to he
a parade oAWylio uvenne or I would have
been jnepared for it. There are so lew pa
rades along the avenuo that 1 tniuk it best
to let them have the right of way. Had 1
known or the parade 1 would have had a
man stationed at the street where the
marchers came onto Wylie and ho would
have legulated the running of the cars, lam
working with the Coroner In this matter and
I want a thorough investigation."
Told by a Victim's Brother.
Many people weie seen yesterday who
told stories about the accident. One of the
mostlnteresting was told by A 11. Apel, a
brother ot the boy who was killed. "1 was
playing In the band Saturday night," said
he. "Coming down from Fulton we we ro
playing and I heard an unusual noise. To
mo it sounded like a hoise running away. I
never thought of a cable car aud us the
noise souuued loudest 1 Jumped to one side.
The next second the car went by me. I saw
a man lying under the curatmv ieot. It
was Snitzcr. our clarinet nlaver. There waa
a brother oi mine in the crowd and he came
up to me and pointing to another lorm un
der the car said, 'My God, it is our brother!'
"Wo raised car fai and got Snitzer from
under the cow-catcher. He was ljlngwlth
his legs ciossed. We had gotten him out,
and wero Just raising the car torescuomy
hi other Henry when car 51 collided. Henry
was under' tne cow-catcher, with one leif
sticking out when the collision occurred.
The car run en til oly over him. I think' he
would not have died had It not been for the
second accident."
A "Word for the Gripman.
R. B. Cunningham saw the accident. He
thinks Gledhill did all in his power to stop
the car. He is positive that 'the wheels
w ere locked, but they were slipping.
x-Couucilmau Charles Hannam was an
other man who saw the accident. Ic occur
red right in front of hit aoor. "I saw tho
car coming down the hill at a rather rapid
rate," said he. "I am certain that the grip
man did not throw one of the levers back
until ho struck the matchers. I do not know
whether It was the one wnlch controls tho
brakes or the grip, but I then saw him pull
back on It with all his lorce. 'When the car
was nnauy stopped tne front door was
opened and Gledhill was standing in it. lie
'threw up bis hands and exclaimed: 'My
God, I could not stop the car.' The other
car was then coming down the bilk I saw
what was going to happen aud not wishing
to see the crash walked into my store."
William Marsula, business manager of the
National Military Band, t old a l emarkablo
story about the accident, especially con
cerning the rate the car was running. He
was in the front rank ot the band, "lconld
swear, ".said he, "that car 61 covered tho dis
tance botween the curve, three squares
above Townsend street, down to the antnn
of the accident. In three seconds. This I will
be able to prove by my drum major.
Remembers His Last Note.
"I know Just what note I .was playing
when the accident occurred. ' The drum
major at that time was facing down the
avenue, and according to our musio he
would have to be facing tho band Just three
seconds before that. I know - ho lollowed
the music, unci ho says that he could not soe
any car coming aiound the curve at that
time. This is agieat deal faster than the caig
usually run. The second car came .down at
almost the same rate. It was the one that
did the latal work. No one would have been
killed had not the collision occurred."
Superintendent Smith is feeling very badly
over the accident. He was present yester
day when these interviews were given, but
the parties did not know who he was. He
felt the remarks made about the manage
ment of the road very keenly. Along tne
streets the people were talking about the
accident and scoring lilin severely. Once
car 61 passed a j oung man Just as the inves
tigating party came along. The car was
spoken or In language not very choice. Mr.
Smith remarkeu that he supposed both It
and. car5l would be hoodooed.. He said that
soraotimo ago one oi the cars ran over n.
colored boy nd since thennone of the col-
teople would ride on it.
ry Apel was kent at themonmnnntn

and later taken to bis homo on Jacobus
alley.
Crowds ot Cartons Sightseers.
As soon as the doors of the morgue were
opened yesterday morning the people com
menced to flock in. It was estimated that
over LSOO people viewed the remains up
until 1 o'clock. The curlons were made np
or all sorts of people. After the body was
taken to the undertaker's many people
called there. Even until iatelast night peo
ple were calling at the morgue to see the
body.
His remains were taken home about 3
o clock. They were encased in a neat whlto
coffin, bearing the inicription "Our Dear
Boy." The scene at the home was a very
sad one. The mother could not he com
forted. The' funeral may take place to
morrow afternoon.
At the home of Ward Eufncr the scene
wiu thb saddest. His mother was wild with
grief and the house was literally bathed In
tears. Hundreds of people called during the
day and but few of thein'departed with dry
eves. The young man was verv popular.
His remains will be interred in Homewood
Cemetery this afternoon. One of the saddest
things to tne inenas or uotn boys is that
they haven't even a photograph of their
dead.
There was a rumor yesterday that a sub
scription would be raised to proseonte the
Central Traction Company. It could not be
verified.
The injured were all reported yesterday to
be getting along as well as could be ex
pected. It is thought they will all recover.

day night that came very near ending In
murder. About 1:53 -A. M. a crowd, ot men
were on Spring Garden avenue. Some words
had passed between several of- them, when
Edward McDonald concluded to go home.
Just as he turned away Martin Bocinger
struck him In the back, knocking him under
a passing street car wiucn a ragged mm luuy
60 feet before it was stopped.
Ho was picked up and carried to his
boardiug house at Vinlal and Spring Garden
avenue. He was badly bruised about the
chest and left shoulder, and was at first
thought to be internally injured. Charles
Uarkuess, one of the men implicated in the
assault, was arrested, hut Bocinger man
aged to escape.
McDonald was seen at his boarding house
last evening. He was resting easy, but the
full extent or his intnries had not bean
learned, owing to the pain from the bruises.
McDonald said that the trouble started
thiough Harkness, who threatened to as
sault a friend of his. Arter matters had
Suieteddown and he had started home,
ocinger, who was a stranger to him, at the
Instance of Haikhess. struck him aud the
next thing he knew hewasnnder the ear.
Tho only thing that saved him was the lact
that the track was wet and slippery,
which allowed him to be pushed
along and prevented the wheel lrom
going over him. His friend in
endeavoring to assist him was struck on
the leg by the car step and severely bruised.
McDonald thinks from the manner in which
he was attacked that it was intentional to
throw him under tho car, and as soon us lie
is able he will enter suit against lioclnger
and Harkness for felonious assault ana bat
tery. SAPID TBANSIT AQAI1T.

Escaped From the Workhouse.
George Brown, colored, escaped from the
Allegheny, county workhouse Saturday af
ternoon. Brown was arrested in this city
some time ago by Lieutenant Gallant, of the
second district police, on a charge or horse
stealing. He was tried and sentenced to
lour years in the workhouse. The escape

thorities, owing to the irequoncy of such oc
currences of late.
For Assaulting a Woman.
Michael Flaherty, who lives otuMillwood
avenue, was arrested last evening on tho in
formation of William Lorigan, who claims
that tho man brutally beat his sister, Mrs.
Mary Goetz. Flaherty was drunk yesterday
and got into a war or words with Mrs. Goetz.
He kicked her in the stomach mid otherwise
assaulted her. Both parties have been on
bad terms lately.
Papers will be served to-day in a case to
come before the Supreme Court daring the
present week, a decision on which will be
of great interest to many members of the
legal profession. It is the question of how
many persons legally constitute the Muni,
cipal Council of a borough. There is a
wide diversion of opinions on the subject,
and nearly every borough in the State' is
interested in the decision. A majority of
those in this county are especially inter
ested, as already a number hare legal suits
in various forms pending as a resnlt of con
flicting opinions by the lower courts.
The Supreme Court has never passed on
the question, but what adds special inter
est to it among the lawyers is that two
Judges of the lower court have at different
times decided one way, while two others
have given an opposite decision.
Rejected hy the Election Officers.
The question is being carried to the Su
preme Court by two men elected for three-
year terms to seats in the Borough Council
of Duquesne. City Attorney Moreland has
cnarge or the appeal. Although there was
no claim set up that the appellants did not
have the highest numbei' of votes, the elec
tion officers refused to issue certificates en
titling them to their seats, alleging that their
election was unlawful. This allegation was
based on the fact that the court Jiad, in
granting the borough charter, designated
the Burgess as the presiding officer. It was
claimed that nnder tho law five persons
constituted the Council, and he was entitled
to all the rights and privileges of a regularly
elected member.
The question was taken into court on an
application lor a mandamus on the election
board, but Judge Stowe affirmed the action
of the board, his decision, of recent date.
'""; junc u sensation in legal circles.
In their appeal tho . two would-be Council
men claim that under a general act of 1873
Borough Councils are made to consist of six
persons, two elected for one year, two for
two years and two for three years. They
contend that the appointment or aBnrsess
as a member of Council Is intended to ileal!'.
nate a presiding officer apd to make him ex
officio u member of the body.
Claim Office Under the Act of 1873.
Under the act of 1873 they claim the legis
lative bodies of boroughs consist of seven
persons, including the Burgess, instead or
five as the Duquesne election officers con
tend. Another point in the controversy is
the question of the election board's right to
reiuse tho persons elected for three years
instead of those elected for one year, even
should their decision as to the number be
sustained.
Attorneys who have investigated the
question have found that there are many
boroughs in the State operating under
special nets or sneclal charters which in
some cases nrovide for three or fnnr nnnn.
oilmen. But the majority are subject to the
general laws and should the Supreme Court
leverse JudgoStowe in this case there will
be a number in which additional members
will bo added at the next election. Should
the Judge's decision be sustained n number
where so ven men now constitute the Council
mania body will find It necessary to make a
change. Among the towns in this county
specially Interested are Sharpsburg, Etna,
Millvale, Braadocfc.KnoxviUe and Bellevue.
A New Borough to Be Chartered.
A chnrtcr for the new borough or St. Clair
will probably be gianted in a tevr daysThe
now government will be the best and most
thickly populated portion of Lower St.
Clair township, adjoining the city line,
south or the Twenty-seventh ward. In June
Che grand Jury recommended the new bor
on ll'i application for a charter. Undorthe
law ono term ot court must intervene Ue-t
tween tho application lor und the granting
o; such a charter. Although it is expected
the boiongh will have been incorporated
before the fall election, the residents will
not choose borough officers until the Feb
luury elections.
The movement to organize a borough was
brought about by a spirit among the people
for Improvements. In the district thero are
a lare number of public spirited men, many
of whom own valuable properties. A lew
years ago they attempted to .have part of
the township attached to the city, but were
defeated by the conservative-element. A
comniomlse was finnllv effected, nnd now
they aie preparing plans to sewer and pave
the mud road", erect public lights and pro
vide policu aud file protection for the new
town, as a lesult property values have
already increased considerably.
SAVED BY A STBAN6ER. ,
Karrow Escape From Death of Little
Harry Miley and His Mother Fen
Head First Into a Vault Fifteen Min
utes Without Air.
Little Harry Miley, the 16-months-old
son of J. D. Miley, who lives at the corner
of Key n olds and Hastings, escaped death
under circumstances almost- miraculous on
Saturday. He fell into a vault 14 feet deep
and was completely covered for more than
15 minutes before he was resoued.
Harry had been playing with hli brother
John, who is only three years old, in the
yard at the rear of the house, when little
Johnnie rushed in and told his mother that
Harry had fallen into the vault. Not thor
onghly understanding what Harry said.
Mrs. Miler thought ths child li..i ,...,
killed. She rushed frantically into
the yard, screaming with friiht.
A stranger who was passing heard
the woman's shrieks, with a bound
he cleared the fence and was at her Hide.
At tho stranger's request she calmed her
self for a minute and proenred a rope and a
hatchet. When she returned she became
more excited than berore.
The man brok e through one of the boards
in the floor with a few blows from the
hatchet. Without a moment's deliberation
she Jumped down into the vault. The child
had entirely disappeared by this time. In
falling down ho turned and went In head
first, just the slightest portion of bis shoe
top being visible. The stranger.drooped the
rope to Mrs. Miley, telling her to tie it
round the ohild's leg quickly. Then the lit
tle fellow was pulled Irom the pool. He was
utterly unconscious and was unable to
breathe.
Seeing that her child was safe, the mother
fainted. Here the strange man's troubles
began. Little Harry was lvlmr on the tinnr
to all appearances dead, while his mother
had laintcd and was almost smothered
within the vault. In losing consciousness
she had grasped the end of the rope and
held on to It. The man above was prepar
ing to descend into the pool, when be no
ticed Mrs. Miley struggling. She bad disap
peared altogether, but a Jerk of the rope
bronght her to the surface. Ho dropped an
other colrof tho rone and got It beneath
nor rigiiu arm, encircling it aoout her body.
With all ills strength he pulled her toward
the floor and reaching with his hand grabbed
her by the hair.
He laid Mrs. Miley on the floor beside her
little son, sent O'.o of the neighbor's chil
dren for Dr. Sterritt and then washed both
oft with several buckets of water. When
the doctor arrived tho. woman and the child
wore still unconscious. Mrs. Miley was re
vived in a little while, but the boy did not
recover for several hours. Dr. Merrltt said
it was the most miraculous escape from
death he had ever heard of.
The strange man who is possibly respon
sible for saving two lives left the Miley
home without even leaving his name or
waiting to be thanked.
