A RADICAL ROAD LAW.
SIR. MH11IT Ol FEU A SOI I HON TO lilt BUST-
i virus to hi omiovr.
1 T a rniHtu no. Representative Neshit, ol
Allegheny county, introduced a novel meas
ure in the House, which is very favorably
tegurded by those who have examined it. ft
provides tlmt Courts of Common 1'leas shall
apoint a competent person to serve fot
three years as county superintendent ol
roads, and that In every township Hirer com
rni'sioners shall be elected fur u similar
term. These commissioners shall choose
three from among their number, who. with
the county superintendent, will constitute a
board of road directors. This body shall ill
yi-stigate the location nnil construction ol
public highways, and divide them into two
classes, to he known as "highways ' and
"roads." The members shall also act ns a
board of viewers lor location and vacation.
I he commissioners of each township are to
meet with the auditors. in Marcn em li year,
and appoint an outside person triusurer.
'Fhey shall levy a road tax not exceeding 10
mills on the dollar ot county valuation.
Male laxables, with a valtiuiion less than
1K, shall work one dny on the roads or
pay a cah equivalent.
Townships are to be divided into road dis

more neighboring 'townships in their work.
Thnsu who work out taxes must do so under
supervision and dilgently under penalty of
no-charge and forfeiture of the right to vote.
One-fourth of the taxes collected each year

riTTsBiRo. Not for many years has the
Pittsburg produce been so badly handicap
ped by tlie colli weather as it is at present.
Commission merchants report thai their
supplies of potatoes, cabbage, apples and
other perishable goods are now about ex
hausted. Prices are higher than they have
been in years. On Monday tlie Grocers'
Hupply Company received a consignment of
several cars of perishable good, in cars
furnished with heating apparatus. but belore
the slutl could be put into the warehouse it
was frozen. All shipments have beeu order
ed off for the present.
Perhaps the most inconvenience has been
caused by the scarcity of fresh eggs. The
market was bare of them Monday, although
tome of the dealers were selling cold storage
stock as fresh at 3d cents a dozen. Fresh
stock would bring at least 40. At some of
the restaurants about town signs have been
put up, announcing the price of eggs served
in u style at 6 cents each.
Ii: the grain, flour and feed market a
similar state of affairs is reported. Country
dealers cannot get the farmers to bring their
stock to the railroads. The prices of meat
have also advanced.

MR. BLAINE AND THE ORGAN,
How the Italian Grinder Escaped Rough
Treatment the Other Day.
On the morning of the death of General
Butler and Senator Kennn, nil Wnshlngton
was plunged In mourning. Death seemed
to prevnde the atmosphere nnd the more
credulous of mankind, with a superstitious
turn of mind, regarded the death of the ex
Secretary of State as a matter of a few hours.
During ail that morning the number who
parsed the lllaine residence was noticeably
increased, many of his old friends going
blocks out of their way to get a glimpse ut
the window through which the tun was
glancing in upon nu tinconcious patient.
Mr. lllaine had been sinking rapidly during
the night and if fears of his end were ever
well ounded it was upon that day.
In the midst of this gloom 11 o'clock at-
j rived and as promptly the (Italian ami his
Dunn organ, iinnm wnicli tlie cotinuy lias
henrd so much id late, put in their appear
ance. In a few moments the strains of
f,nr Imi,I tin- n sweetheart
I'tlilerm-utti the np,
Fieri hulv liivi-s a Iwnlv,
Sk the old sour Foes, etc.
went flonting upon the waves of the winds
up and down the broad avenues of the capl
till in the neighborhood of the sick man s
home.
At this moment three gentlemen on their
way from the Arlington toihc Treasury De
purllnent were slopped immediately in front
of the Illume house by an excited Individ
ual who rushed up to them and asked: "Is
that the house .Mr. Hlainedied in this morn
ing?" Thinking possibly that he hud died within
ball an hour mid they bad not yet heard ol
It, and knowing it to be the only house in
which lie could have died that day, tliev re
plied: "Yes, that Is Mr. lllaine s house!"
" I lien," said the stranger, putting him
self in command of the other three, "we
will hung this Italian scoundrel to tlie tree! '
As they were about to throttle the musi
cian, however, the trout door of the lllaine
mansion opened and James It. lllaine, Jr.,
walked out to the step and handed the Ital
ian a silver half dollar 1 he Italian do (Ted
his bat and proceeded to grind away w hile
the stranger, as much chagrined as surpris
ed moved reluctantly down the street. The
appearance of the younger Itlaine served to
avoid at least an exciting scene and an un
pleasant experience for the Italian.
When Mr. Hliiine has been utterly uncoil
ecious of nil things else: w hen totally ob
livious ol the presence of even the members
of his own family; when every passion seem
ed deait and every sense benruubed.it is said
that the mechanical melodies ol this wand
ering Italian seem to appeal to the only
sense that remuins responsive to any form of
worldly iiilluence. When the air about him
Is tremulous with this simple music his
countenance betrays a calm and felicitous
contentment. Hecauseof this the Italian is
paid regularly for his services.nnd if he fails
to appear at the npimliited hour each morn
ing, no one seems more conscious of his ab
sence than Mr. lllaine himself He loves the
music, and the hand organ will probably
continue to play beneath his window as
long as the sick bed claims him ns its own.

It was 11 o'clock when the, special car
"lirassniere," bearing President-elect Cleve
land reached the sialion. The meeting be

THE COLD AFFECTS TRADE.
A General Shrink ige in the Volume ol
Business.
R, 0, Dun 4 Co's "Weekly Review of
Trade" sayi;
Severe weather appears lo'account in part
for a somewhat general shrinkage In busi
ness In many branches and checking pur
chasing, output and .deliveries in others.
Yet, owing to the same iiilluence, stocks of
winter gowts have been extensively e eared
OH and resulting orders, for spring goods
have been more liberal. The volume ol
domestic trade continues larger than last
year, but exports are decidedly smaller,
those from Nen York In three weeks of
January being Is.W'i.H 1 below the same
weeks lnt year. As imorls are meanwhile
very heavy, for tbe two weeks of January
3,!U9,13n more than last year, the prospect
of further gold exirts causes an surprise.
There is much hesitation regarding the
action of Congress on various measures.
The uncertainty about the silver purchase
reieal, the prospects of the Antl-Option hill
and the defeat ol the pooling amendment
of tlie Inter State Commerce act all influence
markets and trade to some extent.
There Is also a somewhat general Increase
In complaints about c illectiotis, although
money at nearly all markets is compara
tively'easy and in supply adertlnte for Ugit
linate demands.
Wheat Is 4 weaker, with large receipts
and small exports, and it is still iiotewonby
that the Western deliveries are inconsistent
with reports of the hist crop. Corn Is lc and
outs Jc higher. Cotton fed Jc, hut recover
ed u shade with large sules, anti-option re
ports atlecting the trade mote than any
changes in actual supplies. Pork products
are somewhat stronger.
The stock market has been strong. Mon
ey has fallen 2 to 2) on call. The confidence
regarding the future of buslnest Is in all
parts of the country remarkably strong and
general, especially "In view of the interest
taken in pending measures in Congress.

HUGH DEMP"v CONVICTED.
Tbe Poisoner ot t-uineatead Non-Union-lsts
Found Guilty as Indicted.
At Pittsburg, Hugh F. I'euisey, mnstel
workman of District Assembly No. 3 of the
Knight" of Labor, was found guilty 'as In
dicted, on the charge of administering ot
causing to be administered poison, with in
tent to commit murder, to Win. K. Grif
ti'.Ls, a waiter In the Homestead mills. It
was tbe seventh and last d ly of the trial,
and to the defendant It was one of all im
portance. He arose before the bar. when
the jury filed In their place nfter three
hours' deliberations. His face wore the
raiiie obdurate expression ns throughout the
trial, and he leaned with both hands on the
railing in front of him. The I verdict fell
like a thunderbolt upon him and his conn,
el. It was unexiectcd. The defendant's
head fell for a second, hut the surprise was
only monetary. His countenance bright'
ened immediately.
To all appearances he fully realized the
gravity ot his position, lie was the irtof
the whole-ale poisoning conspi'iitors to be
convicted, anil in the eyes of the world, as
Judge Stowe put It. the originator of the
plot secretly ordained to break the Home
stead strike. "If tliev tell the truth." said
Judge Stowe in Ins charge, relnrriog to tlie
testimony of Gallagher and Davidson,' then
Dempsey was tlie originator und principal in
the poison ng plot." The jury sustained tlie
evidence of thosetwo men and its corohoru
lion, as tlie judge said, by Dempsey him
self. I he verdict in the case Is a peculiar one irt
criminal practice occurring in a trial where
the charge was other than that ot murder.
The fatal results ot the u-e ot poison are not
found elsewhere t bun in u murder cast", and
the Hiding is somewhat of a novelty in
judging a person guili unless charge I with
murder. 1 he maximum penalty fortheof
lense is u tine ol tl.noil and separate or soil
to r y confinement at labor iorii lerm not ex
ceeding seven years. The adde I iiisnuction
to the jury sir king out the third and lotirth
coiinis ol the indictment U lt two. which
would make it possible lor the court to com
mit Dempsey lor fourteen years, with the
lines prescribed.
'The cases of He.ittv. Ga'lagher and David
sou are next on the inal list, but it is 1 i a ply
they will be postponed iliitd the motion for
a new trial in l). inpey's case is Uip jse.il

Iteside these tliere are more than a score
who sustained injuries of a more or lest ser
ions nature, whose names could not hi
learned. All the dead were burned to denth
by the flaming oil. Of the fatally injured
nil are more or les seriously buriied nbout
the limbs and body, but tlie worst injuries
sustuined are fearfully burned hnuds and
faces. Many are also injured internnlly,
from inhaling the flames, which scorched
and parched their throats to such an exten'
that their escape from instant (h ath is al
most miraculous.
scenes of Awrri. srrrFHM'1.
Tbe scenes iu the wards occupied tiy the
injured are heartrending. Lying on cots,
swathed in cotton and hundiiges until they
almost lose semblance to human beings, and
surrounded by weeping relatives and sorrow
ing friends, they forfr t picture that brings
(ears to the eyes of even the physicians.
The moaning" of the patients are "piteous.
Every few moments some tortured soul,
writhing in agony, half rises from his couch
and then falls back, suflcriug more intense
pain than before. Seeming to know by in
tuition when the physician is near them,
they beg i)iteouiy to be relieved from their
pain. "1 foe-tor, for God s sake kill me and
put me out of this misery," said one. "Oh.
for even an instant's relief from this mis
ery," snid another.
Perhaps the most pitiful sight of all was
that of 13-year-old Willie Met nrty. Sitting
on his bedside, trying in vain by gentle
words and soothing caresses, while her voice
t rein hied with th.. grief that was breaking
her heatt, was his mother. The hoy's flesh
was cooked from head to foot. His eyes
were burned out, the skin had peeled off his
lace and head, taking with it large portions
of flesh. The only response the anxious
mother received to ner inquiry as to how be
felt was : "Oh mv head 1 Doctor, why don't
I die."
No trace lias been found of the runaway
switchman, Kichanl Grattan, through
whose carelessness the accident occurred. A
rumor that he had returned to his work this
morning proved to be unfounded, and it is
thought he has gone fur good.
The total los to the company will lie l-e-tween
H2-1.000 and el'io.o st. It includes tlie
engine, combination baggage and bullet car
and 20 oil tanks and freight curs and the'
contents.
