Cupid has won a great battle, and to-day
lie gives thanks lor his triumphs of yester
day. In this city and surrounding towns
141 hearts will be made to beat as one be
fore ThankBjiiving of '92 is past. This is
the greatest wedding day of the year. His
tory proves this, and it also evidences
there is a growing desire amone matrimoni
ally inclined persons to have their marriage
vows recorded on this event of a nation's
thanksgiving.
Captain Heiber's marriage license dis
pensary was the most interesting place in
the Court House yesterday. Many a heart
throbbed with joy as its owner received the
little slip of white paper which legally
gave the privilege of entering into the mar
riage state. These licenses, which allowed
a life ot bliss, could be bonght from 0 cents
up to ?2 50,'but the 50-cent one was insured
to give just as much marital happiness as
the one costing five times that amount.
The rush of yesterday to secure these
permits has only been exceeded once in
the marriage license history of Alle
gheny county. Comparative figures in
this show that in 1885 35 licenses were
Sail
issued; in 1886, 50; 1887, 71; 1888, 69; 1889,
65; 1890, 66; 1891, 74, and 1892, 72.
Tlie Democratic Party to Blame.
.The small number in the first year is
credited to the fact that but few people
knew the office would be closed on Thanks
giving. Eegistrar Conner accounts tor
the small decrease this year over last in
this wise: "The election had considerable
to do.with it We have heard a good deal
ot talk about people being averse to going
Into new enterprises until after they learn
what the policy of the Democratic party is
to be."
Captain Hieber had to establish another
court yesterday, and Cyrus Gray was put
on the bench. Together the two "judges"
handled the atplicants nicely. The mar
riage license rooms are divided by a rail
ing, and it is outside of the fence the vic
tims wait their turn. Yesterdav afternoon
the ante-room-was crowded from soon after
dinner until the office closed. There was a
nueer mixture of people gathered there.
The rich and the poor, the ugly and the
pretty jostled eacn other in their desire to
get the coveted prizes. Timidity was plen

just a little, then hastily retreat, either to
gather courage or satisfy themselves that
they would be happy together, and alter
these consultations they would blushingly
enter.
A Shame to Sidetrack Them.
There were some girls so pretty that it
seemed a shame to withdraw them so early
in life from the creat heart-chasing race.
There were others who from appear
ances were withdrawn just in time
to save them from being dis
tanced. In all the gathering there
was not one couple which could have been
classed as foreigners. This is explained by
the fact that most foreigners are Catholici,
and as it is now the season of Advent none
of their religion are allowed to marry.
One of the most peculiar things was the
number of minors. Ivearly four out of
every fifth uninitiated bride'was under age.
In fhe cases guardians bad to be appointed
to keep the marriage wheel from clogging.
There was only one case where the
bridegroom had not the money.
Poor fellow, he chose a dollar prize,
and onlv had 50 cents. The permit was
withheld until he produced the other 50
coppers. When that crowd of prospective
fathers and mothers gathered in the waiting
room they seemed unusually sad. This
look vanished when with their license in
hand the couples arm in arm smilingly left
the room.
"Judge" Hieber's court was held just in
side the railing and there was a crowd
around his desk all the time. Although
countless useless questions were asked him,
the "Jndge" wore a smile through it all. .

with majesty and pomp a shabbily
attired colored couple floated in.
Under the arm of the nushand to-day was a
box and on the lid in large letters was
printed "From the Parisian Dress Com
pany." After some little time the groom
elect was handed his license with a "50
cents, sir, please." The fellow fished around
in bis pocket tor some time and when he
brought it out it held an old wallet. Many
straps were undone and 50 coppers were
dropped in front of "Judge" Hieber. With
greater majesty than marked their enter

suppressed snickers.
MET A QUICK DEATH.
Samuel Craig Instantly Crushed to Death
by Falling Clay.
Samuel Craig, an employe in Joseph
Heeling's brick yard at the head of Twenty
first street, Southside, was instantly killed
yesterday. He was digging under a hank
when it caved in, and he was crushed to
death. His body was terribly mangled and
bruised, while a large stone falling upon
his head smashed it out of all human form.
The other workmen rushed to the spot and
it was some time before they were able to
get the body out
When the accident happened Craig was
digging clay for brick from under an embank
ment He had been warned repeatedly by
the yard boss to be careful, as there" was
danger of the bank coming down. He had
had several narrow escapes within the past
week, but had become used to these warn
ings, and paid little attention to them. He
bad worked in under the bank quite a dis
tance, and had just leaued forward and de
livered another blow which tore auay a
larger quantity of clay than usual. As he
was on one knee, he was unable to get out
of the way. Tons ot rocky clay, falling
upon hm, covered him completely. He was

The Coroner was notified, and will hold
an inquest this morning. He leaves a wife

THANK OFFERING DAT

Ideal Holiday Generally.
TURKEY SUPPLY RECORD BROKEN.
the American Fowl for Feasts Never Be
fore Eo Plentiful.
HOW THE DAT WILL BBOBSERTED HERE
This being a day of thanksgiving there
are many things for which the people of this
part of the country will have cause to ap
propriately observe the occasion. Demo
crats will be thankful for their victory and
the Republicans that their enemy did not
get this State. Everybody will be thank
ful for the general prosperity which per
vades this part of the country and Pitts
burg especially. The churches will afford
everybody an opportunity to observe the
day appropriately.
The weather promises to be of the ideal
brand. Early yesterday morning with the
snow flyinc in clouds, the mercury went
down below the freezing point, stayed
there all day, and last night the weather
man said it would go much lower before
daylight. To-day is to be fair and colder.
With enough snow on the ground to pro
duce that delightful frosty sound when trod
under foot, and a cold, bracing atmosphere
to match, the day will be calculated to pro
duce prodigious appetites, and the Thanks
giving turkey will suffer accordingly.
Turkejs by the Carload and Cheap.
The weather had a great deal to do with
the poultry market yesterday. The quan
tity shipped into the city from all direc
tions exceeded all previous records, and if
the weather had not been cold enough to
prevent the dressed goods from spoiling it
would have sold amazingly cneap. .Along
Liberty street the commission houses had
stacks of turkeis, ducks, geese and chick
ens piled ud on the pavements, and they
were retailing them at from 14 to 18 cents a
pound. Chickens sold as lpw as 10 cents a
pound. At the market prices were a trifle
higher. Venison, game, oysters and other
dinner essentials were equally plenty, and
prices were lower than usual for this sea
son. Greene county sent 25,000 turkeys to
the Pittsbnrc market. One dealer alone
sent in 3,000, the killing and dressing of
which employed 40 persons lor 72 hours.
Thousands came up the Ohio and down the
Monongahela rivers by boat, and many car
loads came in over nearly every railroad
entering the city.
Many Weddings and Parties.
Socially the dar will be abundantly ob
served. There will be many private parties
and nearly 100 weddings, 72 couples having
taken out licenses yesterday and the day

Pittsburg and Allegheny people will visit

the day. "The home folks seem equally
anxious for a change and they want to get
to some pleasant hotel for a dinner.
"The day will likely be quiet and pleasant
with the Pittsburg hotels," Mr. Crosby
said.
TOO COLD FOR GAS.
The Severe VTeather Causes Natural Gas to
Be a Scarce Article Many May Return
to Coal-Glass Houses Crippled and the
Work Greatly Hindered.
Residents and merchants occupying
bouses on Penn avenue, Liberty street,
Duquesne way, and some of the principal
streets of the East End were put to consid
erable trouble yesterday over a great re
duction in the supply of natural gas.
Many families awoke yesterday morning to
find the fires entirely out that they had left
burning over nigh It seemed as if the
flow of gas had been stopped altogether.
In several sections ot Allegheny about the
same state of affairs prevailed.
The majority oi the unfortunates were at
a loss u hat action to take in this emer
gency. They bad put their trust in the gas
company that supplied mem with tuei, ana
bad made no other preparations tor the win
ter. In most cases the suflerers had to se
cure a supply ot coal, and the merchants
handling this commodity were overwhelmed
with orders all day yesterday. A visit to
the office of the gas companies failed to
throw any lights upon tne subject. Tney
said they did not know of any shortage in
the supply, and as far as they knew the
consumers were getting their regular sup
pi v of gas.
The residents on the Southside suffered
from the Inck ot natural gas yesterday.
The trouble was not confined to any part of
that district, but the scarcity was pretty
general, Manv ot the houses did not have
enough to prepare their meals and were in
a sorry plight. The sudden cold snap and
lack of gns persuaded many to think seri
ously of changing to coal. As one person
expressed it, "Natural gas is good enough
for warm weather, but won't fill the bill
when it is cold." ,
The greatest trouble was had at the glass
houses. Nearlv all were crippled and some
had to shut down entirely. Most of the
houses still depend on this fuel as it is not
only more economical but does better work.
It is very uncertain, however, during cold
weather. It has been worse than usual this
season. Many oi the manufacturers said
last night that the pressure was very low
and they expected much trouble during the
coming months. This will prove a great
loss as the glass trade is very good, and all
the houses have enough orders to keep them
busy for some time. Much of this work
must be done immediately, and if the delay
and bad work resulting from little gas con
tinues the loss will be considerable.
lOVt-BS OP FOOTBALL.
A Number of Pittsbnrgers 1V11I Attend the
Yale-Princeton Game.
Pittsburg will be largely represented at
the Yale-Princeton football game in New
York to-day. At the Union depot last
evening there were four extra cars attached
to the 7:15 train to New York. The party
was a gay one, indeed, and there was quite
a bustle in the crowd when the train was
announced. ;
Among those who left yesterday were
Mr. and Mrs. Henry Bergman, Mrs W. G.
McCandless, Mrs. George A. Howe, Mrs.
Theodore Hostetter, Mrs. Harry Darling
ton, Miss Margaret Darlington, Mr. and
Mrs. George P. Hamilton, Paul Little and
R. P. Ncvin. Besides the residents of this
city there were quite a number from sur
rounding towns. Many strangers also are
in town who are taking an active iuterest in
the outcome of the Pittsburg-Canada game.

Colonel Cniyer Submits a New Design for
the Eastern Entrance.
Colonel Culyer, the landscape engineer at
Schenley Park, submitted a plan to Chief
Bigelow yesterday of the eastern portion of
the park. The Forbes street entrance is
shown, and with numerous graceful curves
and windings a labyrinth of roadways,
drives and bridle paths are located in a vast
network. In the vicinity of the children's
playground a plot for a musio stand, drink
ing fountains and carriage enclosnres are

pected to establish an extensive lunch
room.
Positions for statues and general outline
for rows of shade trees are designated. On
paper the whole plan is very pretty.
Through it all some five miles ot drives and
walks are shown.
An Old Offender Caught
Ambrose McKenna was arrested yester
day on South Fifteenth street by Officer
Smith on a charge of larceny. McKenna
has been eluding the officers for some time.
About a year ago he stole a lot of shoes
from Joseph Keasling and left the city. He

With Editor Laird.
THEIR WAR OF POINTED WORDS.
A Settlement of tbe Argus libel
Spoiled bj Ead Tempers.
Salt
THB CASE WILL B3 TRIED TO-MORROW
The bulk of Pittsburs's politicians were
at Greensburg yesterday, but the case of P.
Foley against the Argut, of that place, for
criminal libel, was not tried in the Westmore
land county courts, as had been previously
arranged. Everything had been prepared
for the trial, but at the last moment it was
mutually agreed between the parties con
cerned that the case should be postponed
until Friday. Mayor Gourley, John D.
Scully, E. S. Kennedy and many other
figures conspicuous in local politics and
business went to Greensburg to appear as
witnesses in tbe case. All were disap
pointed at the postponement
An exciting incident in connection with
the case occurred in one of the Greensburg
hotels while the Pittsburg reople were ar
ranging to return to this city. The visitors
had scattered themselves among the sev
eral hotels.
The Lawyers Were Consulting.
The attorneys on both sides of tbe case
were consulting with a view to a settle
ment, and Just by accident the Pittsburg
ers gathered at the Monahan Hotel. Major
Laird, the defendant, happened bv. He
was calle I in to be introduced. He said be
had never seen Mr. Foley, the prosecutor,
and he expressed a desire to meet him. The
two were brought face to face.
"This is Mr. Foley, Major Laird," the
mutual friend said.
Major Laird bowed politely and extended
his hand. Mr. Foley did not bow. He
stretched himself to his full heighth and
looked scornlully and indignantly at the
soldier editor and then said: "How are yon
Major. I am sorry I can't shake hands with
vou."' There was a tinge of bitterness in Mr.
Foley's voice. His eyes seemed to snap
with earnestness, and he wsb about to con
tinue the apology when Major Laird with
drew his proQered hand and shouted with
evident anser: "I beg your pardon, sir. I
understood I was being presented to a gen
tleman. I should have known better."
Some Very Pointed Retorts.
"If I am guilty of the charges you have
made against me, then I am not fit to shake
hands with a gentleman," Mr. Foley an
swered. "Xour conduct now is sufficient evidence
of vour guilt," the editor retorted.
While this rather pointed tilt was in
progress the Pitt6burgers stood sDeechless,
each looking at the other, wondering how
they could relieve the embarrassment One
shook his head at Mr. Foley, while another
endeavored to stop the editor. Finally
Mayor Gourley, with some diplomacy, dis
covered that it was train lime, and the
party scattered toward the railroad station.
The attorneys in the case bad about com
pleted a settlement of their case when they
discovered their clients in the bitter war of
words, which promptly ended the negotia
tions, and when the case is called on Fri
day both sides will meet with the'r daggers
we'll whetted.
Major James M. Laird, editor of the
Greensburg Argut, yesterday wrote The
Dispatch denying the report that he had
in any way endeavored to compromise the
alleged libel suit of P. Foley, ot Pittsburg.
Mr. Laird says "it is a fight to tbe finish."
AL CABLIBLE IN TOWN.
The Ohio Democrat Delighted by the land
slide to Cleveland.
Al -Carlisle, the Ohio Democrat who
'spends much of his time in Pittsburg, re
turned to this city yesterday for the first
time since the official count in the Keystone
State. Mr. Carlisle, always enthusiastic,
was bubbling over with satisfaction last
night, and his Pittsburg friends were just
as well pleased as he was.
Mr. Carlisle is talked of as the'Marshal
of the District of Columbia under President
Cleveland. He contends, however, that he
wants no office. He believes that ex-Governor
Campbell should be again nominated
for Governor of Ohio to oppose Governor
McKinley, and he also believes that Gov
ernor McKinley will be again nominatedby
his party.
MAY HAVE A CLEAB FIELD.
Dr. McCandless Ala Havo No Opposition
for the Mayoralty Nomination.
It was reported yesterday that Dr.
McCandless would have no opposition for
the Bepublican nomination for Mayor. "I
have no information as to who will oppose
me tor the nomination for Mavor," Dr.
McCandless said lat night "i do know,
however, that I am and will be a candidate
until the end."
County Commissioner Mercer has not de
cided whether he will make a fight for the
nomination. His Iriends are still urging
him to go into the contest He will likely
reach a decision this week.
Captain Kerr Is a Candidate.
Captain Thomas It Kerr has formally
announced his candidacy fortbe Democratic
nomination for Mayor. Captain Kerr is
one of the most substantial Demncrats in
Pittsburg. "If the Democrats of Pittsburg
want me as their candidate for Mayor they
have but to say so," Captain Kerr said yes
terday. "I am a Democrat and I have
always cousidered it an honor and a pleas
ure to serve the Democratic party."
Will Fix the Nomination.
Tbe Bepnhlican City Committee will meet
at City Hall Saturday night for the purpose
of fixing a time for holding primaries for
the nomination of a candidate for Mayor.
