rWOLHTLI SCRAPS. That Was All the City Fathers Had at Meeting of Coun cils Yesterday. ". THE TETO IS SUSTAINED. Uorningside Street Kailway Causes an Unexpected Squabble. A LITTLE WOEK FOR THE AUDITORS "he Eijr Chiefs Accused of Working Councils Financial!; THE A1TKOPBIATION BILL FOR 1S93 Two interesting events marted yester lay's meeting of Councils. One occurred n the Select branch over the Morninsidc Street Railway ordinance. The other was n Common Council, and the result will be lat a lot of matter will be referred to the 'mance Committee, in the consideration of rhich that committee has heretofore been gnored. A photographer took a Hash light icture of Councils in session, and, as one marked, the pictures will represent a ody of men sitting around with their eyes hut, as every man in the room closed his res when the flash exploded. Mayor ourley's veto of the Diamond street widening lesolution was unanimously sus- i tained. A resolution was adopted by which here after the roll will be called in Common Council at 2.30 o'clock on meeting days and it a quorum is not present the body Till adjourn. Two o'clock is the meeting lour, but it has been ignored for ten years. The appropriation ordinance for 1693 was presented and referred to the Finance Com mittee. The ordinance is practically iu jlank, being a copy ot this year's bilL A Little Three-Cornered Tight. "When the Momingside and Highland 'ark Railway ordinance was taken up in 'elect Council Chairman Ford announced t was on second reading. Mr. Robertson lumped up to a point of order, claiming hat the bill had been negatively reported y the Corporations Committee and not be orr Councils. The point was not allowed. Mr. Robert .on was excitedly arguing the question, vhen Mr. "Warmcastle interjected a motion to indefinitely postpone. This did not please Mr. Roberson, who held to his original position. Mr. Lambie finally took u hand in the controversy. He argued for lair plav for the Momingside Company. Messrs. "Warm castle and Robertson answered that fair play had been shown. All the esidents along the route had attended the 'corporation Committee meeting and op osed it, not one favoring the line. The pe titioners for it were people who lived miles away from the proposed line, many of whom were not evea property owners. It was further aigued that as Momingside avenue was only a country road if this com ny got a right of way over it, and the ty should change the grade to improve it, se company could claim damages from the ty- Mr. Lambie Strikes Oat. Mr. Lambie characterized the argument I nonsensical, that it would be easy to amend the bill before them to cover that point. Mr. Robertson was greatly excited when he rose to reply. He said Mr. Lambie'e head was turned over the election, or he wouldn't talk that way. He insisted the bill was not before councils. While the argument was going on Mr. Matthews aJdcd to the confusion bv a motion to ad journ. It took 15 minutes to decide whether the motion was iu order, but it finally prevailed. . The trouble in Common Council now started over Mr. Magee's opposition to a bill for 5M.472.9S incurred cleaning up the city during the cholera scare. The bill had the approval of the Mayor and Controller, but had not been before the Finance Com mittee. Mr. Magee wanted it referred to that committee. Mr. Ferguson had taken ie same stand on a bill of 10,198 of .tooth ic Flinn's lor improving McKee's Place, saying all bills providing for expen t iture of money should go before the Fin ance Committee. u.ne Dili was nnaiiy so referred. Charges Against the Cillers. The next business up was the monthly reports of the departments. Mr. King ranted them referred to the same committ ee. Mr. Magee opposed the motion, say ng the reports were records showing how ne money had been spent and were not ae committee's business. Mr. O'Donnell took an active part in the rgument, which had by this time become arm. Mr. Ferguson declared the chiefs ere "working" Councils, their reports pre of no account, and the Finance Com liftec might as well 'be abolished for all ue good it was. The department chiefs ere an expensive luxury. Every item of jeir expenses should be closely scruti ized. Mr. Wilson got in an amendment referr ing the reports to the Auditing Conimit e. The motion caused several members 3 ask in surprise if there was such a com littee. The chair replied there was. Mr. Vilson's motion was passed. Mr. O'Don ell gave notice that he would present a solution at the next meeting requiring at no bills covering the expenditure of onev shall be passed on by Councils with t first being reported from either the nance or Auditing Committee. Several embers promised to support the resolu- BOITTINE OF BILLS PASSED. He Underground TTlre Ordinance Finally Ready for tlie Mayor.

IN A SARCASTIC VEIN. Mayor Gourley's Veto of the Diamond Street 'Resolution Prods Councils for Their Silliness He Is Unanimously Sus tained for the First Time. For the first time on record one of Mayor Gourley's vetoes was unanimously sus tained. It was on thn resolution passed at the previous meeting directing him to sign a petition for widening Diamond street from Smithfield to Liberty. It came upin Select Council and was sustained by every vote present. In his message the Mayor sarcastically calls attention to the absence of any such petition as he is directed to sign and asks where it is, or if Councils have any official knowledge of it. He had been unofficially informed that a petition to widen the street from Smithfield street to the west side of the market house had been circulated, but he was directed to sign one opening It through to Liberty street It would be ex ceedingly unfortunate, he said, if he should happen to get hold of the wrong petition and sign it, and therefore he had concluded to sign none at all. The necessity for the city, through the Mayor, petitioning lor the improvement is figuratively laughed at by the Mayor. If the city owned property fronting on the street there might be some excuse, but it does not. The widening of the street and the opening of a street through the market house are, in the Mayor's opinion, two very different propositions. One aflects the property owners, and should be determined by them. The other, aflects the city only, and for Councils to petition Councils through the Mayor to have it done would be as absurd as lor a man to petition him self for the opening of a road through a property he absolutely controls. He ques tions the right of Councils to instruct him to petition them as the resolution directs and is not satisfied the city has a legal right to open the street through the market house. At any rate he would not sign the petition because it places him in the anomalous position of asking Councils to pass an ordinance which the best interests of the city might ultimately require him to veto. He has no objection to widening Diamond street if the majority of affected property holders ask it, but is opposed to what appears to him a deliberate attempt to invoke the aid of the city in legalizing a petition that does not contain the necessary majority. Mr. Lambie raised the question that if Councils should pass the resolution over the veto they would accomplish nothing, as the Mayor would not and could not be com pelled to sign the petition. Mr. "Warmcastle, who had presented the resolution, explained that a blunder had been made in drawing it up to extend the widening to Liberty street, but said it made little difference now, as the Mayor was opposed to the resolution on general grounds. Mr. Robertson declared the resolution had been passed without proper considera tion aud that Councils were legally wrong in presenting it to the Mayor. 1HIEEESTING NEW BILLS. Providing for Appointment of Matrons and a Morgne Superintendent. Among the new bills presented was one providing for the appointment of matrons at all the fire engine houses. In explana tion of this bill Mr. Lambie, who is the author of it, said that at present the fire men were compelled to pay out of their own pockets for a janitress to come each day to make up their beds, clean their sleeping quarters, wash their bed linen, towels and other work of that kind, and it cost them heavily. By employing women to do this work lor a salary of $40 a month it would be done better and cheaper, and it was unfair to make the metipay tor it. An ordinance creating the office and fix ing the salarv of a morgue superintendent was presented in blauk. None of the offi cials knew anything about it and were sur prised to hear of it, inasmuch as there is no city morgue to superintend. It was learned that ex-Councilman James Williams caused the bill to be presented and that he desires to get the position if the bill should by any chance be passed. Other new business pre sented follows: Ordinances opening Irwin avenue and Cabinet alley; grading, curbing and laying flagstone sidewalks on Irwin avenue: vacat ing South Tlilrtj -second street from Mary to Jane stieet; petition for paying John Forrest for damages to property on Wood ville avenue, caused by a bad dam: remon strance, against lelocatlng a pai t of Herron avenue; resolution refunding overpaid taxes to Thomas Dusan; ordinance for a sewer on Wintlirop stieet: opening AIM vale avenue from Ben Venue to Cvpress stieet; locating Mildred alley from Elgin to Bryant street; vacating Ulster alley between Azimuth alley to Bryant street; vacatine Azimuth alley from Mildred alley to Ulster alley: opening, grading and paving Bunker Hill street from Hisbland avenue to Cumber land street; resolution xefunding L. Christ tlio amount paid by him for sewer on Butler street. Mr. Morton Leaves for "Washington. New Yoke, Nov. 11 Vice President Levi P. Morton left here to-day for "Wash ington.

Malt CaTanaugh Wants to lie Government Hull Inspector. OFFICIAL T0TB OF ALLEGHENY COUNTY . Lieutenant Colonel Frank Rutlcdze, who has been conspicuous during the campaign by his efforts at marshaling parades, was yesterday announced as a compromise can didate for Postmaster of Pittsbnrg. Ex Posttuaster Larkin, Colonel S. A. Duncan, John C. O'Donnell, Colonel Hudson and the others who have been named for the place, it is claimed, have already so en tangled themselves in political complica tions that a compromise candidate is neces sary, and the friends of Colonel Rutledge claim that he will fit into the place and the conditions that have made his candidacy a necessity. P. Foley, who immediately after the election carried his application to Chair man Harrity, returned to Pittsburg yester day morning. He had seen Harrity, but he refuses to say what, if any, satisfaction he had obtained irom. the early conference. Mr. Harrity and Mr. Larkin have always been close personal and political friends, which will he an important obstacle in the wav of those who are fighting the ex-Post master for the appointment. A Government Hull Inspector. Matt Cavanaugh, of the First ward, yes terday announced himself as a candidate for Hull Inspector. He says he is sup ported for the place by both factions of the party and he believes he will have no op position. The official count for the whole of Alle gheny county will be completed to-day. The calling off of the vote iu the different districts was finished, but the adding up of the figures was not completed. The work of the Returning Board has progressed steadily, and no difficulty was met with as a result of the Baker ballot law. On the contrary, in the whole county only four election boards had to be called in for errors in their return sheets, a much smaller number than usual. The errors also were of minor importance, being merely omissions of signatures, eta The four boards called in were from the First dis trict, Fourth ward; First district, Twelfth ward; First district, Thirty-first ward, and Third district, Twenty-fifth ward, all of Pittsburg. One board from a country dis trict indorsed on one of its return papers: "We heartily recommend the Baker ballot law, and believe it superior to the old sys tem." Will Meet To-Day to Count.

McKee Has to Push, a "Wheelbarrow to Pay a Bet, So Does Constable Mackey A Lawrenceville Man Has a More Costly Wager to Pay. " Joseph McKee, a saloon keeper on Station street, was one of those unfortunate mor tals who bet on the wrong man. He was for Harrison, while J. W. Metzcar was a Cleveland man. Mr. McKee was to ride Mr. Metzcar in a wheelbarrow if Cleveland won, and last night he fulfilled his promise. Mr. Metzcar was ridden down Station street to Frankstown avenue, while 500 men, women and ohildren lighted up the line of parade with red fire. A wheelbarrow bet waB paid in Lawrence ville last night by Constable John Mackey wheeling Alderman B. R, McNierney from the latter's office along Butler as far as Thirty-fourth street and part of the way back. The "squire" is a lightweight, weighing over 250 pounds, while the con stable is somewhat sparely built. A brass band accompanied and a big crowd was out to see the fun. An election bet between G. W. Gow and L H. Armstrong, of Armstrong's Cork Factory, will be fulfilled to-night. A cor tege of 15 or 20 carriages will line up in front of T. C. Rafferty's saloon at 2321 Penn avenue. The first carriage will contain the H. G. Shannon Cornet Band of 25 pieces; the next, drawn by four horses, will hold the two bettors, with Mr. Arm strong, the loser, carrying a live roostej conspicuously in view. The remaining carriages will contain 60 or 80 prominent citizens of the ward. The party will pro ceed down Penn avenue to Fifth, Irom thence to East Liberty, and return to the starting point by way of Penn avenue. By the terms of the bet the loser meets all ex penses. It Harrison had been elected, Mr. Gow would have been compelled to carry a "coon" over the same route. A DEM0CBATIC THICK. How the Homestead Affair Was Twisted to , Catch Votes In Chicago. Representative Michael Lemon Is one of the politicians who believes that Home stead had much to do with the Republican landslide. He said he was convinced when he visited Chicago during the World's Fair dedication that the Democrats would win. He says the remarks of the people along the line were anything but complimentary about the military, and th'o Pennsylvania contingent was lrequently reminded that thev ought to go back to Homestead. "But what convinced me that we would lose this time," he continued, "was a float I taw in a Democratic parade. It was very-neatly gotten up and attracked a great deal of attention. At one end nalaoe 'was i 1 arranged showing Messrs. Prick and Cr- DISPATCH, TUESDAY, negie dringing champagne and living on porterhouse steaks. Atfthe other extremity a hovel was represented with the poor work man sitting a cheerless room, eating dry bread. Such a scene wouldn't have much effect on an intelligent voter, but it was a powerful argument to those who are easily influenced and don't know any better." WAHI3 10 BE PdSIHASTEE, E. Q, Lang Is Willing to Handle MaU tor Allegheny Citizens. E. G. Lang, of Allegheny, has given ,np his iniention of contesting the election of E.Wertheimcr to the Legislature, it is said, and will make a vigorous fight for the Post mastership of Allegheny. A dozen or more petitions have been prepared, which will be put in circulation this morning, and the fight kept up until the appointment shall havo been made. $ Mr. Lang is quoted as having said yester day that he believes he was honestly elected on Tuesday, and that he could he could win the contest if he felt disposed to prosecute it. But he would rather have the postoffice than a seat in thePennsylvaniaLegislature, and believing he has an excellent chance to receive an appointment he has concluded not to bother with the election contest. M'KEESPORT SCORCHED. A FIro Started hy OH Spreads Because Water Could Not Be Had. McKeespokt, Nov. li. Special A square of nine houses and one grocery store was burned here to-night. Five houses were more or less damaged, and one was torn down to check the spread of the flames. The excitement was terrible, because the alarm was from a densely built-up section, and the one thought, in view ot the water famine, was that the city was doomed to de struction. Woods' mill and the tube works were shut down, and the employes rushed to the first In less than a quarter of an hour more than 10,000 persons were in the street. No water could be had and the firemen could do no more than see the fire spread from building to building, doing what they could to remove property from threatened premises. After half an hour water from the tube works was turned into the city mains, and then began the fight. For two hours the firemen made a gallant fight, aided by all the willing men who could find room to work, and at the end of that time the fire was under control. A fine irauie house that stood where its destruction would imperil another block of dwellings was torn dotn. From the dwell ing houses burned a great deal of the moveable effects were saved. The aggre gated losses are 20,000, which fall in part as follows: James Brown, grocer, loss, $3,000; insurance, $800. John Jaycoy and a Mrs. Snyder were the next he-iviestlosers. This property was valued at 55,000; insur ance, 53,000. ' All the remaining loss has no insurance worth mentioning. The origin of the fire is given by Brown, the grocer. He went to the cellar under his store, carrying a lamp, to draw oil. While the oil was running he stepped on a match, which fired the petroleum, and turned the cellar into a roaring furnace in a moment SAVED BY HEE COSSET. It Protected a Wife From Death at tho Hands of Her Hushand. YouuGSTOtYX, O., Nov 14 Special A villainous attempt to murder Mrs. George Swank was made near the village. ot Milton, in the western part of the county, late last Saturday night, and that it was not success ful was due to the heavy clothing worn by the woman. Mr. and Mrs. Swank separ ated a year ago, and since then she has been making her home insthe family of Charles Planton, while Swank lived two miles away. Mrs. Planton and Mrs. Swank were call ing on a neighbor, and as the latter entered the Planton doorway she was shot down, falling on the threshold with her clothing riddled with shot. It was developed that the bulk of the charge struck over the woman's heart, bedding itself iu the thick corset she was wearipg. From the point where the shot was fired tracks were lound leading to and from the place vhero the husband lives. To-day Mrs. Swank had a warrant issued for his arrest on a charge of shooting with intent to kill. Bussell Stole a Hundred Thousand. Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 14.

THE -ENGIKEKR AHEAD OP TIME. Committed to Jail on a Charge of Criminal Carelessness. BLIKDED BY SMOKE PROM A FURNACE Coroner McDowell held an inquest yesterday afternoon in the case of Daniel J. Kennelty, the B. & O. bapgagemastor who was killed in the wreck at Laughlin Station last Thursday night. Conrad Pickle, the conductor of the ac commodation train which was run into, testified that his train was on time and had the right of way, and it was the duty of the train following to look out for him. He then described'the smash-up and the dam age done. The witness also stated that he was allowed nine minutes to run from Laughlin to Pittsburg and that there should be five minutes between trains be tween Glenwood and the city. His train had been flagged at Laughlin to take on a flagman, but did not lose more than one minute. ' John "W. Seifler, chief dispatcher of the Pittsburg division, stated that the express was two hours late and was allowed to fol low ten minutes behind the accommodation as far as Glenwood and within five minutes from there to the city. He said that if the express ran into the accommodation within five minutes ot the time the latter was due at Laughlin, the rules must have been vio lated. - Conductor Shipley.of the express, said that they had gotten 'a' white siejnal at Glen wood and left there six minutes behind the accommodation. At Hazelwood they were just five minutes behind her and slowed tip for awhile and then went on again. John Andy, the engineer, swore that he shut oil steam entirely at Marion and driited along until he saw some dim red lights. His view was cut off by a cloud of smoke from the furnace. He put on the air anvhow, but it did not act in time. He said that he knew the accommodation's time very well, and would not have ruu into her if she had not been flagged. The jury found that the express was running ahead of its time, and held Andy, the engineer, responsible. He was com mitted to jail to await the action of the grand jury. W0H TOO MUCH MONEY. A Man "Who Bet on Cleveland Gets Into Considerable Trouble. "William Lehie, of Howard street, Alle gheny, started out yesterday afternoon to enjoy himself. He had won several hundred dollars on Cleveland's election, and feeling rich he treated everybody'who would drink with him. Along about 5 o'clock he became badly intoxicated and imagined he owned the city. He wanted to fight everybody he came across, and because no one would accept his challenge he became very abusive. Going up East street he began to yell and swear in a frantic manner, and Policeman "Wilt arrested him. "While the officer was waiting for the patrol wagon Henry Kingbergcr, who had been with Lchie most of the afternoon, undertook to release the prisoner. A. fight between the officer and the two men ensued, and as a result Lehie and Kingberger got badly used up and were both landed in the lock-up. a A Case of Varioloid Reported. Dr. P. D.

Lambert Bollenburg, of Crooked Bun, has been arrested for the murder of Maria Dell, the old lady lound in a dying condi tion near his home a few weeks ago. Bol lenburg is an old man, a member of one of the local German military organizations, and he went to McKeesport yesterday to at tend one -of their meetings. He was arrested by Constable Urban as he was about to enter tho hotel where he intended to stop while in the city. The information against the accused was made by John Del), Jr., a son of the mur dered woman. Bollenburg lives but a few rods from uhere Mrs. Dell was found. The old man was nearly overcome with surprise, and if he has any guilty knowledge of the crime in question he is certainly a great actor. He seems to be half crazed at the idea of being suspected, and insists that ha can prove by & hundred witnesses if need be that he was in McKeesport all night on the day of the murder. His son says there will be no difficulty in proving an alibi. The accused was taken before Alderman Mellinger, and Charles LeBrun, of McKees port, became his bondsman In the sum of 51,000, pending a preliminary hearing.
