BEHIND J TIES,
Mayor Kennedy Issnes a Cir
cular to the People of
Allegheny City.
A PLEA FOE 'PURE WATER
Is Indorsed by the Signatures of
Oyer Eighty Physicians.
HANI IMPROVEMENTS HEEDED
To Maintain and Advance the Prosperity
of the Korthslde.
HSHOKOR'3 APPEAL FOK A BOND ISSUE
Mayor Kennedy has prepared a circular
letter to the voters of Allegheny City. It
trill be issued to-morrow. In it the Mayor
ardently advocates the issue of $2,250,000
worth of bonds to pay lor much-needed
public improvements. His Honor declares
that in this feature the Northside is behind
every other city in the United States. He
also makes an earnest argument for purer
water.
The Mayor says In his letter: "Onr water
at present is taken from the river below
Herr's Island, and at a point opposite
Twenty-second street, Pittsburg. When the
Davis Island dam is up, the back water ex
tends about half a mile above an influent
pipe, making dead water at that point. "We
have on the Allegheny side, above our in
fluent pipe, four sewers, one of them drain
ing all of Troy Hill, besides several tan
neries and white lead works. On Herr's
Island are two factories for making fertiliz
ers, one large abattoir or slaughter house,
and a large stock yard, all their drainings
emptying into the river above our "Water
works.
Polluted by Seirage Trom Hospitals.
"On the Pittsburg side there are some 11
sewers, including large ones like Twenty
eighth street, lrom West Penn Hospital;
the Thirty-third street, draining nearly all
the East End; the Forty-second street, from
St. Francis' Hospital, and altogether tho
sewage from some 75,000 people, within
three miles above onr present water supply.
The new dam at Herr's Island will make
the water still worse; that the water is lull
of filth and absolutely smells when drawn
from the spigots no one will deny.
"And now for the remedy. We propose
to lay a GO-inch pipe, commencing at pres
ent water works, thence up the Butler road
to Pine Creek and river bank and Clare
mont to Xine Mile Island, where we would
get pure water. At this point we would
place a small pumping station, at an esti
mated cost of 530,000, and deliver the water
to our present works in Allegheny. The
estimated cost of running this pumping
plant per year would be $15,0001 At .Nine
Mile Island there is an excellent site for
reservoirs for the future, or, if the natural
filtering system is adopted, the island would
make a perfect place. Above the island for
five miles the hills are cloe to the river and
no chance for a town being built in the
future.
Looking for a Pnro "Water Supply.
"In advertising for bids foreztending the
water main to Kine Mile Island, we will re
serve the right to stop at Six .Mile Island,
so that if we find the water good at that point
and the natural plan of filtering through
the gravel practicable, we could stop there
and save a large amount of money. If we
stop at Six Mile Island, the sewers of the
Poor Farm, workhouse and new town of
.Aspinwall could be extended below onr
pumping station.
"With regard to streets we are probably
behind every citv in the United States. It
costs lrom 580,000 to 5100,000 per year to
clean and keep In repair our old cobblestone
streets, or about three times the interest on
the proposed bond issue for streets. Now
that the streets are washed clean, the pub
lic can see their condition for themselves,
and it Bimplr resolves itself to this ques
tion: Our cobblestone pavements are worn
out. Shall we buy new cobblestones and re
pave, or put down good improved pave
ments? The actual saving in repairs, with
out considering the question of improve
ment to adjacent property, will more than
save the interest and amount placed to the
sinking fund yearly. I consider it a good
business proposition to save money by re
placing our old cobblestones with a good,
substantial, improved pavement
3Iany Sew Sewers Are Needed.
"As to sewers, whether the bond issue Is
favorably voted on or not, certain work
must be done next year; the present
Butcher's mn sewer is in a bad condition,
and must be promptly looked alter. A
sewer to run lrom Butcher's run to the
rher, via Madison avenue, can be con
structed at lar less cost than the old plan of
a street or open water way. Woods run
must have a sewer from the river to Brigh
ton road, to drain a large portion of the
Tenth and Eleventh wards. A main sewer
on Perrysville avenue is absolutely neces
sary, as that portion of the city is without
any ewers.
"Our light towers in the Old City should
be removed, and an equal number of lights
on mast arms used instead. A number of
streets without lights must be looked after,
besides new lights in the rapidly growing
suburban districts.
"If the bond issue is favorably consid
ered by the people and passed, the millage
the first year will not be increased more
than to lTuill, and when all the bonds
are issued, the millage would not be in
creased over from 1 to 2 mills above present
millage, and, in mv opinion, 1 mill will
cover all increase when all bonds are is
sued. "To do the work by direct tax would
make a millace ot over 30 mills. If the
bond issue is voted down, we must increase
our millage 2 mills for sewers alone, with
out consiaenng water or streets.
"The citizens ot Allegnenv are all aware
of the fact that we must improve our water,
streets and sewers. If this is done our city
will bteadily advance; if the bond issne
fails, then direct taxation is the only
remedy. "
Bad Water Causing Much Disease.
Over 80 physicians of Allegheny have
signed the following recommendation for a
better water supply:
"We, the undersigned physicians of the
city of Allegheny, believing and knowing
that contamination of drinking water is a
source ot disease, and especially so when
contaminated by the dejecta of those suffer
ing from germ disease, do heartily concur
In the movement pow on loot whereby
the people may secure a better sup
ply ot pure water. We recommend
tho movement on account of the
following sources of impurities, all
of which empty into the river above the in
fluent water pipe: Sewers of Pittsburg, es
pecially those carrying the waste from the
West Penn Hospital and the Mercy Hos
pital, the Thirty-third street sewer, drain
ing nearly all ot East Liberty, which will
increase as that part of the city grows.
"From the cattle yards on Herr's Island,
whicli fill the water with nitrates and
urates, and from the private sewers along
the banks of the stream on the Allegheny
side. It is our belief that If we avoid
those sources of filth that the mortality of
the city will be lessened, and in case of an
epidemic that better water will not onlv
help those who are suffering from an illness
but be a good preventive from the infec
tion of others.
Signed by 80 Allegheny Physicians.

who refused to sign the recommendation.
He is in favor ol securing a better water
supplv, but says the way to cet rid of most

to remove Herr's Island.
PEDDLERS' LICENSE MUDDLE.
The Purchasers of a Business Find Them
selves in Trouble.
A new feature of the peddlers' license
law was brought to light yesterday. Ordi
nance Officer McKenua arrested two men
for peddling under licenses issued to other
persons. The men arrested went to the
City Treasurer's office and stated that they
had bought tho wagons, business and the
licenses of two peddlers who had retired
from the business, and demanded to know
iftheyhadnot a right to sell under au
thority of the license plates thus secured.
The Treasurer decided in the negative, say
ing the law made the plates not transfer
able. When Mayor Gourley was appealed to
he was more liberal, declaring his belief
that under the circumstances the plates
should be transferable. His Honor in
structed the officer not to proceed with the
buits. He says a peddler's license should
be trauierred the same as a liquor license,
when the party holding it withdraws from
business and it is taken up by another per
son. An accurate report of the transfer
should be made on the City Treasurer's
books, he says, and if necessary he will
have an ordinance introduced to cover the
point.
TICKETS FOB ALABAMA
A Million and a Hair of Them Printed in
Pittsbnnj.
A million and a halt of Republican bal
lots to be used in the election in the State
ot Alabama were printed in this city a week
ago and on Monday last the tickets were
shipped to the Alabama State Committee.
There are 12 Congressional districts in
Alabama requiring that number of forms of
ballots, making the job of printing an un
usually heavy one.
The report that such a large number of
tickets were beinz printed in this city for
a foreign State created no little confusion
among the Democratic leaders, and it was
reported that a sample of the ballots was
promptly forwarded to the Democratic na
tional headquarters.
UNEASY STHIKEES.
Cold Drives the Men to Seriously Consider
Their Present Position.
Jt is rumored that thp( strikers at Law
renceville are becoming alarmed at the pros
pect of not getting their old positions in
case they should want to return to work
and are giving the Advisory Committee no
little tronble in keeping them in line. The
cold weather is bringing w ant to their doors.
Many ot them have contracted large bills at
stores, and as their benefits are barely
sufficient to pay for the absolnte necessities
they are dissatisfied. The officers of the
Amalgamated Association report that the
men are still firm, and say there is no sign
of a break yet.

THE
ASHAMED OF HIS RACE.
Judge McClnng's Caustic Criticism of
a Very Negligent Son.
KU5 DOWN BY AN ELECTRIC CAR.
Bradford Gta the Extreme Punishment
for Manslaughter.
THE HEWB OP THK COUNT! COURTS
"This case is enough to make a man
ashamed of the race to which he belongs,"
said Judge McClung in the Criminal Court
yesterday daring the hearing of Lawrence
Cnllen, who was required to appear noon a
rule granted to Elizabeth Smith to show
cause why he should not support his aged
and infirmed father and mother.
Elizabeth Smith said that Mr. and Mrs.
Cullen were 81 and 78 years of age respec
tively; that they were invalids and had to
support them herself. She said that the
old couple spent a great deal of their time
during the last six years in the poorhonse.
Mrs. Smith said it worried her a good deal
to have the old people there, so whenever
she was able she had them come and live
with her. These periods varied from four
to six months, until during the last 15
months she has had the constant care and
snpport of her grandparents at her home,
105 Webster avenue. During this time
Mrs. Smith stated that Lawrence Cnllen,
although he tola her he was earning $10 a
day, never contributed anything to the
support of his parents, except in May,
when he gave them $30, and in July, when
they received $25 from him.
Defining His Average Earnings.
Lawrence Cullen told virtually the same
story except as to the amount of money he
earned. He Baid at first that he earned
from $7 to $10 per week, but npon being
questioned by the Judge if he thought that
was a fair average for a glass worker to earn,
he said: "That's what I've made in the
last two weeks."
"I don't want yon to state what yon have
made in the last two weeks, but tell what
would be a fair average of your earnings,"
said the Judge.
"Wv don't you tell the Court that you
make $140 a month as yonr employer told
me yesterday," broke in J. K. P. Duff, at
torney for Mrs. Smith.
"I don't make that," replied Cullen, and
after some wrangling with the opposing
lawyer he finally said he made on an aver
age $120 per month, bnt was only em
ployed eight months during the year, as the
glass works, at which trade he works, al
ways close down in snmmer. He further
claimed he had asked the old people to
come and hve with him and he would take
cake of them.
Old Mr. Cullen said his boy at one time
lived with him on the Sonthside, and upon
one occasion, about six years ago, when the
old man was 'very ill and thought he was
abont to die, he" deeded over" the little
property he had, valued at $1,300, to his
son, Lawrence. He said Lawrence took
the property and sold it and never made a
return of a cent to his old father or mother.
Plain Speech From the Bench
Judge McClung turned to Lawrence Cnl
len and said: "So you, after selling your
father's only property and keeping the
money for yourself, allowed thee aged peo
ple to be sent to the Poor Farm."
Cullen protested that he did not know
they were in the poorhouse, and fnrtber
averred that he sold the place for $550 and
his parents told him to keep the money if
it wonld do him any good.
Lawrence Cullen s wile was then exam
ined. She raid that she was sure that her
husband did not know of his parents being
in the poorhouse. She stated they lived in
Bellaire, O., until recently, when' they
moved to Blair's station. Abont four years
ago, before they were married, she said they
sent a letter and an invitation to' the wed
ding to the old folks, but never got any re
ply. Thev afterward found a letter from
them which had gone to the Dead Letter
Office.
After this testimony had been given,
Judge McClung said: "Taking tor granted
everything that the defendant says, I make
an order that Lawrence Cullen shall pay
$25 per month to the snpport of his father
and mother."
At this point the younger Mrs. Cnllen
turned to the Judge and said: "There is a
stepson ot Grandfather Cullen, son of
Graudmather Cullen, named Jack Harrison,
who makes good money as mine inspector
up the river. "
"Well," replied the Judge, 1 will be
glaa to obtain the dames of any others who
should contribute to the old couple's sup
port, for I should like to have the amount
increased."
A PHYSICIAH WAHTS HIS BILL
He Slakes Serious Allegations Against the
Plaintiff In a Libel Suit.
Dr. P. J. Rowan yesterday filed In Com
mon Pleas Ho. 3 a petition asking to have
set aside the assignment of a verdict He
states that he obtained a judgment against
John and Josephine O'Neill for $29 for pro

The O'Neills obtained verdicts against a
Pittsburg newspaper in their suits for libel,
and, it is now charged, they assigned the
verdicts to Harriet E. Oales for the pur
pose of defrauding their creditors, of whom
the petitioner is one. It was afterward re
assigned to Win. Bigge. Dr. Rowan claims
this is to hold the money for use of the
O'Neills, and he asks for a rule on all the
parties to show cause why the assignments
should not be set aside and the Prothonotary
directed to pay his claim.

. SUNDAY, OCTOBER t 80,
A TASTE OF WINTER.
Cold and Reckless Winds Call. Out
- Overcoats and Heavy Wraps.
HUSTLING ALONG THE STREETS.
The Thermometer Falls Almost to the
freezing Point
PLBASAKTER WEATHER PBOMISED
With the wind whistling viciously around
the street corners and the mercury rapidly
creeping down the tube the people of Pitts
burg yesterday tasted the first ehfll blasts
ot winter. All was hustle and bustle on
the streets. Heavy overcoats, mufflers and
fur wraps were brought from their places of
concealment, and donned for the first time
for months.
Early yesterday morning the storm, which
had been raxing in the Northwest for the
past two days,and which added so much hor
ror to the big Milwaukee fire Friday night,
struck Pittsburg at the rate of 25 miles an
hour. Its speed was soon increased during
the1 evening to 30 miles.
Soon alter the wind became a gale the
mercury began to fall. It wavered a
moment in the tube, slid down a little, and
as one big gust of wind followed another,
the metallic fluid was gradually shoved
down, until by evening it was chasing the
freezing point. The people on the streets
hurried along with their coats and wraps
buttoned up, and with peach-blossom noses.
Ho one tarried at the corners and each one
attended strictly to his own particular busi
ness. The Reckless Wind.
And the wind played antics with the pass
ing throng. Hats, bonnets and other head
adornments were removed unceremoniously
from the craniums of unwary pedestrians,
and were promiscuously scattered about the
streets. Clouds of dust and dirt werewhisked
along by the driving blasts, and added to
the annoyance of the people. It was an unu
sual wind for Pittsburg, but not much
damage was done. The telegraph, tele
phone and electric wires suffered some. All
were more or less wrecked in all parts of
the eity, but those In the East End were
damaged the most At the telegraph offices
it was reported that the lines in west Vir
ginia, Eastern Ohio and along the lakes
were badly crippled. As night drew on, the
wrecks became more numerous and caused
much trouble to.the operators.
Sergeant Stewart Talks.
"Weather Observer Sergeant Stewart yes
terday afternoon gave a synopsis of the
weather as follows: "The storm that is now
raging is only the lower edge of the storm
center that has been playing havoc in the
Northwest and on the lakes. It is gradually
moving eastward. There has been much
snow all along the northern part of the
country, and at places the weather has been
quite cold. The barometer, which has been
very low for the past 18 hours, is rising
rapidly, and I think the wind will fall early
in the night. Another storm has made its
appearance in Montana, and the weather is
becoming decidedly colder in the far West,
bnt warmer in the States south of the Ohio
river. There will be no rain, but the
weather will become clearer and colder.
The wind is now blowing at the rate of SO
miles an hour. At places on the lakes it
reached as high a speed as 36 miles an hour,
and was severer in every nay than in this
vicinity."

in preference to exhibition at the art stores;

ilege of admitting their friends to view col
lections outside of these hours. '
The Art Society will meet next Tuesday
evening to consider the donation of the gal
lery in their building for the purpose.
At the opening of the meeting
of artists Mr. Leisser delivered an
able discourse principally dwelling on the
tribulations ot the .English artists who es
tablished the Itoyal Academy to show the
Pittsburg artists 'that they were not without
precedents in their trials. A number of
crtists, unavoidably absent, sent word that
they favored the project.

written that tney have arrived safely in
Paris after a pleasant voyage. Mr. Salisbury
Intends to put in a severe course of study
this winter, returning next year. He still
retnins his studio here, where a choice col
lection of paintings can be seen, and to
which he is to send specimens of his work In
Paris during his stay.
There were some notably fine etchings on
exhibition at the different art stores this
week. "Christmas Eve in Colonial Days,"
etched by James S. King from the painting
by S. J. Ferris, hows us a high born lady of
of the period, with her sedan chair, and
lackey at tho doorway of a picturesque snow
covered colon Inl mansion. The photo
gravure, "Greek Girls at Play," from tho
painting bv Sir Edward Lelghton, President
of the Royal Academy of London, shows
spirited action in the figures and draperies.
Mn. De Wolfe Soaklak, who recently re
turned from a four ears' course of art
studying In Europe, is to open a studio here.

Mr. H. S. Stxvexsox, during his stay in
Algiers, bought a large collection of oriental
costumes. He Intends to devote a good deal
of his time henceforth to oriental Interiors,
with flgures'for which he has a decided pre
dilection. He palntedanumberof Algerian
street scenes, among which are noticed
some fine sunlight effects. Mr. dtevenson
had great trouble with the Arabian models,
as they are very erratic and independent.
They generally earn enough the first day to
keep them in dissipation for a week and are
slow to return, while the poorartlst is going

Tuzre was an exhibition at the Gillespie
gallery this week of some two dozen speci
mens of the best European artists. There
were some notably good examples of Bou

the other artists represented are Bosa Bon

Jacquet. The Millet, whicli. is very small

Millet was never out of financial difficulties,
and would have been glad to have received
100 ;rancs for his picture. Perhaps he did
not even receive SO for it. Vandyke.

BAD SHIN BONE SORE
Grew Worse Under Many Doctors and
Many Bemedleg. Entirely Cured
. by Cutlcura.
In September, 18S7, 1 had a sore come on my shin
hone. Just abore the ankle. It begin to pain me so
much that I thought best to consult a doctor. He
said it was a bad looking sore, and It might be a
month or two before it got well. I thought I conld
not endure It that length of time. I tried bis reme
dies, and the sore kept growing worse. Then I
tried another doctor, and received no help. Then
another, who was sure he could help me, but still
the sore kept growing worse, kept growing larger
all the time. I had another doctor examine It. Ha
thought that perhaps the bone was affected, and I
had better go up to Albany. I had a good surgeon
examine It, and he said the bone was not affected,
and that It could be cured, bnt I had to sit with mr
foot elevated. A surjreon doctor, from the ctly of
New York, stopplug at our house, said the aatne
thing. In September. 1&9, I was aDout my work
as usual, I went to put on something to ease the
pain, a stream of blood poured out. Got a doctor
as soon as possible. It was thirteen weeks and two
days before I went out of the home again. A gen
tleman boarding with us wrote yon for your book.
Ills wife had fold me what a wonderful remedy
CDTICUBA was, and what It had done for her little
girl. I said to the Udr, -l have a mlDd to try
CDTICUBA." She said. '"I nave some with met
will give yon." I commenced at once, and It wa
the first ointment that lever put on that agreed
with the sore. Then I ielt enconraged, for I bad
used so many different kinds and received no good.
Then I got the Cdticuba, Cuticura SOAr and
CtmcURA Resolvent, and the sore is entirely
healed, and has been for the eight or nine monlbs.
I say Cuticuka cured me. I shall ever speak In
highest terms of it, as 1 think aud know that it did
me a great deal of good. Wish more people would
try it. Mrs. O. A. BECK WITH.
