The Riot Losses Decision.

PIrTsBURG, October THE decision
of the Supreme Court throwing upon
Allegheny county the cost of the riots
has been the chief topic of conversation
among all classes. The idea has pre-
vailed that the payment of these losses
will be an immediate burden upon the
tax payers, but in all probability the
Legislative permission will be asked to
issue county bonds to provide for tLis
extraordinary emergency and the co st
will be distributed over several yea :.
The amount of property destroyed S
generally over-estimated. Ex-Co. ty
Controller Warner estimated the SIS,
including railroad property, frei ITS,
private property, ETC., at 81, 60o,' o.
The Fire Marshal, in conjunction with
a Committee Of the County Commission
ers, after a careful investigation, fixed
the total loss at So, 1882, 91s.95. 1t is safe
to assume, therefore, that the amount
the county will eventually be compelled
to pay, if pay it must, will not exceed
the latter sum. If the county is given
authority to issue bonds, the annual
tax for interest and sinking fund will
not exceed thirty -one per cent. addition
al to the regular county levy. This will
lot be burden that will be unsup.

The Freak Of q Girl

Katie Adams, a girl of 20 years. was
arraigned before Recorder McDonough,
of Hobokeu, yesterday, for being drunk
and disorderly. Before being led from
her cell she sang some French, German
and Spanish songs. When she appear
ed in court, she refused to answer any
questions, and was sentenced to ten
days imprisonment in the county jail.
On hearing her sentence she sprang from
the prisoners dock and jumped through
the plate-glass window Of the court
room into Washington street, breaking
the window and sash into fragments.
She was immediately re.arrested, and
on being asked the reason OF her ex-
traordinary conduct, replied that she
meant to deserve her punishment. Her
term Of imprisonment was increased to
thirty days, but as she is supposed to
be insane she will be held until the
county physician has had an opportun-
ity to examine her mental condition.

Senator Davis, OF West Virginia, who
has been fishing for crookedness in the
treasury department, and failed to dis
cover anything wrong, is now preparing
a bill which he will offer at the next
meeting of Congress, cancelling the loan
made to the several States by the tjni-
ted States in 1887. The excuse which
Senator Davis is represented as urging
for this extraordinary cancellation is
that keeping account of the debt is "a
useless embarrassment to the Treasury
Department" The trifling circumstan-
css that Illinois, which has property
amounting to s2,12l, ,6s0,579. get only
$477,919 Of the money, while Virginia,
which has only s4O9, 9,5Ss, 1873 worth of
property, got 50, 1885, ,427 Of the money
that is that Virginia got about twenty.

her wealth-may possibly interfere

Kearney Explains His Call Upon
General Grant.

Kesrnsy s.P!ai1s aIs His Call Upon
The San Francisco "Post," in its
issue Of recent date, says:
Denis Ksarney, as usual, was the
principal speaker at the sand lot yes
tsrday. The only thing Of interest in
his speech was the explanation of his
"call" upon General Grant, Of which
he said: "All Of you have heard Of
the arrival in our city Of Gen. Grant
he came here one week ago yesterday,
and was received with great honors.
Looking upon him rs representative
citizen, who has had unusual oppcrtu-
mites for observation in foreign coun-
tries, and particularly in China, con-
sidered it my duty as . citizen to visit
him and to bid him welcome in behalf
Of the Workiugmen, to our home, to
invite him to the sand lot, and to visit
our Mayor elect, DR.. Kalloch, who is
unable to pay his respects to this dis
tinguished citizen. Therefore, on last
Thursday morning, bright and early,
after having spent the only twenty-five
cents that had on that day in getting
shaved and having my shoes blacked,
I went to the Palace Hotel, wrote my
name on a card and asked the clerk to
send it up to Gen. Grant. He did 80,
and after the lapse of few moments
the waiter returned and informed me
that the General was not up. | asked
the waiter what he had done with my
card, and he replied that he had left it
on the Generals table, and that Mrs.
Grant had informed him that the Gene
raj was not up, whereupon l thanked
him and left, and returned in half
hour, when the clerk told me that he
was out. Yesterday morning at ten
o'clock l renewed my visit, sent up my
card, and was told by the waiter that
the General had left to visit the Mint.
| awaited his return and called again,
when, upon sending up my name, |
was told by the waiter who returned
that Gen. Grant wished to be excused
from seeing me. l thanked him and
left, considering that l had done my
duty. During the week, when my in
tention Of visiting Gen. Grant became
known, was told that 1t would be
necessary that l should be introduced
by some Of the persons by whom he
has been surrounded since his arrival
in the city. Not being desirous Of as
sociating or being identified with this
class Of people, many Of whom l expect
to see in the striped garments Of con-
victs before another year rolls around,
l declined the proffered assistance and
went alone, with the result which ]
have stated. have no comments what
ever to make upon the facts, but the
Workingmen Of this country must draw
their own conclusions from them."

THE WORLD FROM THE SIDE.
WALK.

In the glare Of the city lamp,
And list TO the tread Of the million feet
In their quantity musical tramp?

To mark the figures that come and 90
In the everchanging scene.
Here the publican walks with the sinner
proud,
And the priest in his gloomy cowl,,
And Dives walks in the mstley crowd
With Lazarus, cheek BY lowl,
And the daughter Of toll, with her fresh
young heart
As pure as her spotless fame.
Keeps step with the woman who makes her
In the haunts Of sir, and shame.
How lightly trips the country lass
In the midst of city's Ill
As freshly pure az the daisied grass
That grows on her native hill
Ami the beggar, too, with his hungry eye'
And his lean, wan face and crutch,
Gives blessing the same TO the passer'oy
As he gives him little or much.
When Time has beaten the worlds TATTOO,
And In dusky arm0r dight,

The gloom of the silent night,
How many OF these shall be daintily ied
And shall sink to slumber sweet;
While many will go to sleepless Ded
And never crumb to eat.

How little we stop to heed
Our brothers and sisters despairinx cry
In their woe and bitter need

Yet a few short years and the motley throng

And lips that laugh and lips that moan

And lust such q crowd will be here az nlght'

And men Will be wicked and women Will SIN,

A Brakernan's Peril.

Alfred Mahoney, aged thirty years, a
brakeman on the Philadelphia, Will
mington and Baltimore railroad, had a
narrow escape from terrible death
about 7.45 o'clock Wednesday morning,
at the President street depot, Baltimore.
A freight train with which he was con-
nected had just drawn into the depot,
and Mahoney, as is customary got be-
tween the engine tender and the first
car to cut the locomotive loose while
the train was moving slowly. The first
car, which was loaded with coal, ran
too close into the tender and caught the
brakeman between the deadwoods. His
thighs were badly squeezed, but DR..
Houck, who examined the man, said
that no bones were broken.
