A EEBULT OF PITTSBURG'S GROWTH
The remarkable growth of Pittsburg in
the last ten years is too well known to need
much comment. The city is pushing out
and spreading on all sides through Alle
gheny county. Town after town has been
started in the suburbs, and while at one
time it was ieared the city would be in
jured by neighboring competition the
builders of the local places knew very well
what they were doing.
Each town was a nucleus established
mainly by Pittsburg capital Many of
them have cast ofl their s addling clothes
aud have become full-fledged boroughs,
tine intervening country between them and
the city has become settled and the suburban
line of Pittsburg greatly extended. Al e
gheny in reality is PittsDurg, and the teem
ing population along the Pennsylvania
cad to Jeannette, on the beautitul bluffs
overhanging the Ohio to Sewickley, and on
the other side below Coraopolis, up the
Slonongahela river to McKeesport, the
iron towns of Duquesne and Homestead,
and the development of the country up the
Allegheny and West Penn roads are in fact
part and parcel of the great city named
alter the English commoner.
Biingluj: Big Business to Pittsburg.
The new business resulting has been enor
mous, and has naturally gravitated to the
downtown triangle below Grant street,
from which point the varied industries of
Allegheny county are directed.
It is surprising how the hill district over
looking 'the Ft. Wayne road has grown.
The Pleasant Valley Company realizes this
fact, and is building a big bridge across
Jack's Run to the old Watson place with
the intention of extending the line to Ava
lon. It is expected that the structure will
be ready by spring, and real estate in that
neighborhood is booming. It promises to
be another East End in five years. The
people are going at the improvements on an
extensive scale, and are laying out the
streets with an eye to the futuie. All this
nill reflect glory on the two cities. The ex
tension of the street car lines is bound to
result profitably.
The effect of the outside development has
ceen to make property exceedingly valuable
in Pittsburg proper. Mills and factories
that were a few years ago considered in the
outskirts' of the city are now downtown
The real estate is to-day worth more than
the buildings and the plants. The demand
for the sites to be used for business houses
and dwelling purposes is growing all the
time.
moving to Make Money.
Manufacturers recognize the tendency to
move further out, and by selling their
mill property they can"1 make more than
eluough money to re-establish their worKs
vn a larger scale and with all modern im
provements. The latest people to "catch 'on" to this
idea are the green bottle manufacturers on
the Southside. There are four companies
iu the buMnes in Pittsburg D. 0. Cun
ninsham, William McCalley & Co., Thomas
D. Wightman & Co. and the Ihmen Glass
Company. They control six factories, and
together do a 'business of 52,000,000 per
year. The plants were built at a time when
the ground was cheap, but the city has
crown, and now they are hemmed in by
houses.
H. Sellers McKee suggested a plan of
abandoning the old factories, selling the
land and with the money building a tat.k
factory near the citv with a capacity much
larger than the six plants put together.
The firms have not consolidated like the
flint glas men in the United States Glass
Company, hut thev regard the scheme with
ertat lavor. The six lactones are old and
it would pav to rebuild them. The trouble
now is to select a suitable site close to Pitts
burg. All the available places alonir the
railroads have been canvassed and the sub
ject is under advisement.
The Project Under Discussion.
Young Mr. Wiijhtnian said his company
would be willing to sell its plant at the
city's valuation. Mark Watson, of McCul
ley i; Co., declined to talk, but admitted
the bottle manufacturers are discussing
such a plan. The affair is indefinite at
present, but will soon assume shape.
The use of the tank iu the manufacture
of class is a modern Idea that is
very successful. The combination intends
to build at least t'to or three tanks. The
glass can be made cheaper, while a good
round sum for the manufacturers can be
turned by pulling down the old factories
and putting the sites into the real estate
market. It is rumored that some of the big
mill owners out Penn avenue intend to do
the same thing. The sites of some of the
big plants in the Penn avenue district are
said to be worth at least ?1,000,000. This
increase is the result of the city's develop
ment. The green bottle men employ about 800
hand, and the new move concerns at least
4,000 people.

THEY BUD IN ATJITJMH.
Street Car Employes Now Taking on Thalr
Wind Protectors.
Trees and street car employes are not
alike. The former shed their foliage each
fall, while the rapid transit men allow theirs
to bud in autumn and bloom and blossom
until the "rays of an April sun warm the
chilly winds of winter. On the faces of
every motorman and conductor, old and
young, little whiskerlets are now sprouting.
Most of the street cars in Pittsburg are
open fore and sft The motorman's position
during the stormy months is a chilly one.
The conductor, too, suffers considerably
from the raw and piercing winds of winter.
Their only face protection is a luxuriant
growth ot whiskers, and just now they are
all trying to cultivate them. Their efforts
are not always successful, and the barren
faces of some of the traction men present
unique appearances. They look like a
storm-swept forest, with Bhort stumps stick
ing up here and there. Thanks to the
warmer n inds of sprint: these not altogether
beautiful face stumps disappear.

MAKING REPUBLICANS."
The McKlnley lair's Effect on the Gun In
dustryBelgium Not Able to Compete
With the United States Under the Pres
ent Tariff
Buffalo, Oct 28. Special' Hardly a
day passes that Western New York does not
see some practical illustration ot the bene
fits of the tariff as imposed by the McKin
ley bill The latest is that of the Burgess
Gun Company, which is building immense
works in this city, to be in running order
by December 1. The company will employ
about 100 men as a starter. Later the force
will be largely increased, and everyone of
these workmen will be an American. The
works will cover ten acres and will be 100
feet long and four stories high.
A. Burgess, the treasurer and organizer
of.the company, and who is the inventor of
several important gun mechanisms, is in
his city overseeing the building of this
f actorv and will remain here. When aske'd
how the McKi'iley tariff affected his busi
ness, he replied: .
"But for McKinley our industry would
never have existed, and Belgium would
have continued to manufacture nearly all
the guns used in tnis country. Without a
tariff we cannot compete with their pauper
labor."
"What are the comparative wages of gun
makers in this country and Belgium?"
"Thev earn 1 franc in Belgium where they
earn Slhere. The sweating svstem exists
there in its worst form. A laborer there
will take a piece ot work home from the fac
tory and his wile and children will work on
it The McKinley bill puts a specific duty
of from 1 to 36 on each gun and retains the
old dutv of 35 per cent ad valorem. Thev
can beat us out on cheap guns, for none are
made in this country except a tew single
barrels."
Mr. Burgess called attention to another
feature of the McKinley law. It takes the
duty entirely off gun barrels. The reason
is there are no twist barrels made in this
country. It is all hand work and labor is
too high here.
The gun business has been greatly bene
fited Dy the tariff. The factory at Batavia
made 7,000 truns last year; this year there
will be 20,000 turned out This year Mr.
Burcess will vote the Republican ticket for
the first time.
DKIVEN OUT IK THE WIGHT.
Two Little Children Mado to Suffer by an
Unloving Father.
Wonderling Epner, of Friendship ave
nue, is not treating his family right, so the
Anti-Cruelty Society people say. He was
arrested yesterday by Agent Val Fisher.
Euner is an employe of the Carnegie
mills in Lawrenceville. He works at night
sometimes and as he is a widowertbereisno
one to look after his children. He is the
lather ot five little ones. For threeof
these he has a father's love, but for a girl
aged 10 aud a boy of 13 years lie has no
care. According to Mr. Fisher, EDner is
only happy when these two children are out
of his sight He drives them from home in
the dead ot night, and for quite awhile the
boy has secured his slumber in neighbors'
coal sheds or at the police stations.
A night or two ago the girl was found on
a neighbor's step. It was past midnight,
and the little one said her father had driven
her from home. She was picked up and
carried to her door. Wonderling Epner
was sitting in the kitchen dozing over a glass
of beer, and when he slept his poor daugh
ter was smuggled into bed.
TAPPED A TILL,
Three Southside Boys Attempt to Bob a
Store In Broad Daylight
Three boys, ranging in age from 8 to 12
years, made a bold attempt to rob a store
on Seventeenth street, Southside, yesterday
afternoon. They had succeeded so far as to
have broken open the till, and were about
to leave the place when discovered. One of
the three, Anthony Ganghen, aged 11 years,
of 1116 Frederick street, was captured by
Officer Smith and locked up in the Tnenty
eighth ward police station. The store is
owned by Mrs. Anna Beinheimer. As it
was about 3 o'clock there was little business
at the time, and she was in the rear room.
Two of the boys remained on the outside to
keep a lookout while Ganghen was sent in.
He was taking the money out of the drawer,
when the officer came along and Baw him
through a side window. He hastened
around to the front of the store, when the
other two boys told him they were waiting
for Ganghen to come out, as lie was making
s purchase. The officer then arrested Gan
ghen, and the other boys escaped. He will
be given a hearing this morning.

I-BLOODY QUARREL
Salvatore Cantazaro Stabbed Near
the Heart by Fellow Italians.
RESULT OF BUSINESS RIVALRY.
Fiazza, Spallo and a Third Man Attack the
Tictim on the street.
THE MEN M'KEESPORT FRUIT TENDERS
"My knife was no good, it was too soft,
but his was all right." These were the
words of Salvatore Cantazaro, as he laid on
what may be his death bed at the Homeo
pathic Hospital. Cantazaro is a Sicilian
lruit dealer, of McKeesport He came
down to Pittsburg yesterday to buy some
fruit, and while walking along Duquesne
way he got into a dispute about business
with three of his countrymen. A fight fol
lowed in which Cantazaro received an ugly
stab on the left side near the heart No
one saw the beginning of the trouble and
the,causes which led to it are not easy to
fina out, as the men implicated will not or'
cannot speak English.
Edward Friel, a driver, happened to be
driving along Duquesne way, and saw the
men grapple each other. Friel jumped
from his wagon and attempted to separate
the men, but he was too late the knife had
found a victim. Upon Friel's interference
iwp of the men ran up the street, followed
by Francesco Lungo, who had a cobble
stone in his hand.
Cantazaro Falls In a Faint
In the meantime Cantazaro, who had
been stabbed, staggered to the corner of
Fourth street, where he fell exhaus
ted from loss of blood, striking a pipe with
his chin. Lungo followed the two men
some distance up the street, and then
turned to look after Cantazaro. Some of
the employes of James Bees & Son had seen
the man fall, and ran to his assistance. Every
person thought Cantazaro was dead, but it
wag suggested that he be taken to the
Homeopathic Hospital. Lungo was locked
up in Central station. When Cantazaro
arrived at the hospital he was in a state of
semi-collapse, and there was but little hope
ot his recovery, but later in the afternoon a
reaction occurred. Unless the effect of the
internal hemorrhage is bad he will recover.
A DISPATCH reporter saw Cantazaro
yesterday afternoon. As the doctor came
in Cantazaro asked in broken English it he
was going to die. WJien the doctor told
him he thought not, he said: "We onlv
have to die once, but I don't nam to go un
til I see my wife." Ho was asfced what
caused the fight, and said he and Piazza,
who is rather an elderly man. have been
engaged in the fruit business in McKees
port lor some time.
A Business Rivalry Between Them.
There had always been great rivalry be
tween them, having lately resolved itself
into a cut rate war. Whenever Cantazaro
would reduce .prices, Piazzo would iollow
suit and go him 5 or 10 cents better. Piazza
usually got the worst of their business
fights, and Cantazaro said that Piazza was
so enraged at bis success that he went to his
store yesterday and, after making some
little fuss, struck his brother-in-law in the
eye. When Cantazaro heard this lie
was angry and wanted revenge. He
said he couldn't tell much about
the fight on Duquesne way as he was so
weak. Cantazaro claims that the three
men who were with him, Piazza, Spallo and
another man whose name he could not
remember but who is .evidently Lungo, all
united in their attack upon him. Can
tazaro is married and has three children.
He has been in business in McKeesport for
five years.
Thomas McGowan, a commission mer
chant who has had considerable dealings
with Cantazaro, said: ''He is an honest
man and does quite a large business. He
has purchased as much as 40,000 worth of
goods from me this last year. He is the
leader of a crowd of fruit dealers.
Organize Italian Buying Clubs.
"You know the small Italian dealers
have what you might call buying clubs.
They band together and buy a car of lruit.
Then eaoh one comes to the office and navs
his share of the amount. The dealers then
repair to the freight yard and stock the lruit
in as many piles as there -are members
in the party. They then decide who shall
have first choice in aTery peculiar manner.
It is called 'throwing fingers.' They stand
in a line, and at a given signal they simul
taneously display as many fingers as they
please. The sum total of the" number of
fingers displayed by all the men is then
taken and commencing at the head of the
line they begin counting. The man upon
wfiom the number which is the sum of the
fingers displayed falls has first choice.
This is repeated Until each gets his share."
A telegram from McKeesport last even
ing says that Piazza so iar has not returned
home, and the Pittsburg officers who are
there will have to look elsewhere for their
man.

How many elderly men and women we seo
who plainly show they are "goins down the

step, the lack of brightness in the eye, the
shrunken features, all indicate that life is
not at high tide, that the strength and vital

fact, that they are going down the hilL This,
of course. Is to bo expected, for when one
reaches later years, physical troubles are
sure to come, but how many elderly people
we see are healthy, happy and comparative

bright, contented. Why Should not all be
equally fortunate? It certainly is possible.
Every elderly man nnd woman needs to
gently assist natuio, all the while needs to
take some ymie stimulant regularly. Every
doctor in the land admits this, and its com

must be something pure, powerful, health
giving and strength-imparting. Sucli a

it has accomplished. Any eldeily man or
woman through its use may certainly pre
serve the health, nnd may reasonably
expect to prolong the life. Do not be In
