tULL LIST OF THE GENEROUS DOMES
Early yestcrdiy morning a string of two
)iore wagons wound about the city streets
' collectins supplies lroin the many mer
chants who had assisted The DispatCK
Christmas fund for the benefit of Home
ftead children. Every iraion was loaded
to the top, and then began the momentous
v trip to Eintracht Hall, Homestead. What
these boxes, packages and mysterious look
ing bundles contained must be a secret
intil this afternoon. Ssnta Claim never
ells in advance what he is going to give to
bildren, but he has a pleasing way of se
cting lor each just what is wanted.
Onlv one little tccret will be let slip, if
he children up there won't tell anybody.
Vhether it is the association of ideas or
ierely the natural desire ol a boy to hit
omething is not known, but many pleas
lave been sent in for airguns, and that has
K-en granted. Some 200 airguns, cuaran
etd not to burst, will be among the many
nice things distributed.
Kewivert With Delight.
When The Dispatch wasrons and com
missioners starred out over the snowy hills
for Homestead, they were sent with many
merry wishes from the city and received
with delight atdlomestead. Good Iuck at

cunning, suDstantial and handsome but
vhat thev were will be mentioned later.
The Homestead Hall will be hatdsomely
decorated, and all arrangements so perfected
hat the 1,300 expectant children will be as
rtcll and carefully taken care of as il Santa
Jiaus had descended the chininies of their
wn homes instead of walking right throuch

beneficiaries. Sauta will be found in the
neighborhood ol his reat Christmas tree
between 3 and 6 o'clock this afternoon where

Success and honors are heaping upon
The Dispatch fund. Not to be outdone
in the good work, many subscriptions

A Mttttrars Shoe Dealer is Held Tor Al
leged false tfretens.
George Grcgory the welhknown shoe
dealer of 44lS Sutler street; was given a
bearing before Alderman Gribp yesterday
afternoon on a charge ot obtaining over
fG.000 worth of good under false pre-
tcnse
The information wis made by William
IX Hav, a wholesale shoe merchant of
Easton," tVnnsvlvants. Hay allfeces in his
Information that Gregory by a misrepresen
tation of his financial standing, obtained
over 6,000 worth of gods from ibem, and,
when he learned what bondition his afiairs
were in and demanded payment, Gregory
was unable to pay up.
Mr. Hav, when out on the stand yesterday(
testified that on October 3, 1890, be went to
Gregory's store in Lawrenceville to talk
OTer business with him. Gregory at '"at
tim tnlil him that he was hard oushed for
monev, and wanted to get a firm to o11!
him o'ver his temporary embarrassment, and
he would then be ablejo get on his feet
again. Mn Hav agreed to carry hifn over
on the condition that Gregory would deal
with him altogether in the future. Gregory"
agreed to this and furnished UK Hay with
a-statementjjfhin assets and liabilities, in
which he said his Block in the store was
valued at$il,000. and he had 53,000 worth
ot stock in another storel that he owed the
bank $1,100 and oed on, merchandise al
most $4,000.
Mr. Hav accepted this statement and on
the strength of it sold him $2,434 70 worth
of goods. This was satisfactory; and from
time lo time Grtgorv sent them small
checks 'and said he was rapidljr paying oft
outside debts. Gregory also futnislied
another statement placing his capital in
stock at nearly $i8,OO0 and his indebtedness
at some $7,000. Hav soon altef-sold hint
$5,258 worth of goods, but soon became
suspicions and entered suit At the hears
ing two local bank cashiers testified that he
owed several thousand dollars more than
his schedule showed. Gregory was com
mitted to jail in default of $2,000 bail.
SUVFZBED FOE WAKT OF HEAT.
The Cold Weather rlnch-s Manufactories
and Houses as to Natural Gas.
The shortage in natural gas ddring the
past two days has been greatly felt on the
Southside. " The glas houses have been the
greatest sufferers. In some of the plants
work has been almost suspended'and In
others the work can hardly be continued.
Evan's glasshouse, at Twentv-second street,
has been almost the only one that has not
sufiered. Thir is because they are so situ
ated as to get the force of the flow before it
is dissipated bv the citv's consumption.
The lackof heat was keenly felt in the
resident portion as well as the manufac-i
tories.
WAViE WASN'T A EUEQLAB.
He Was Only Poor Carpenter Looking
for a Job.
F. J. Weaver, the man who was arrested
at Braddock on Thursday on suspicion of
being a burglar was yesterday released
from custody by 'Squire HoltzmaU as It was
discovered that Mr. Weaver instead of be
ing a burglar was ah unfortunate carpenter
looking for work.
Superintendent O'Mara became interested
in the case and finding Weaver to be a de
serving man whose family was in reduced
circumstataces, procured work for him and
gave him enough to make Christmas pleas
ant at his home.
