Pittsburshlto Have the Electric Light


PITTSBURGH, March lit has often
been said since the agitation OF the elec.
trio light question by the wizard OF
Menlo Park" and others who have fol-
lowed in his train, that nowhere in the
country is there city where the elec-
trio light with its brilliant effulgence
approaching next TO the sunlight, would
be OF such service as in our grimy city.
Although this fact has been apparent,
yet the matter OF its application has
been allowed to slumber. until many OF
the prominent cities in the country
have taken steps to supplant their gas
lamps with the dazzling light gen.
Grated by the electric current
Both Cincinnati and Chicago have taken
steps for the introduction oil the light
and from present indications it looks as
though the characteristic nocturnal
gloom OF the smoky city will be dispelled
in the near future by the introduction
on an extended scale OF that wondrous
illuminator.
The ground work for this deduction
grew out OF several conferences which
have taken place during the past few
days between Mr.. John Caldwell OF the
Westinghouse Air Brake company, and
Mr.. G. L. Magee. The object OF these
interviews was to consider the practi-
cability OF organizing stock company
for lighting the streets OF this city, halls,
manufactures, mills and large stores
with the electric light. After several
meetings an arrangement was made,
and it is stated that the company will be
organized in few days.

DEATHS AT DETROIT.

A Child Mysteriously Killed-Two Men
Meet Their Death on the Railroad
Track.
DETROIT, Mich, March 1.-THE body
Of a boy six years Old, a son OF James
]. Craig, florist, OF this city, was found
i'm an alley near his fathers residence,
this morning. He was last seen yester-
day afternoon at play. When found the
BODY was stretched face dOwnwards,
with stick of candy grasped tightly in
one hand. The body has the appear
ance of having been run over bv heavy
wagon and then taken and lett where
found, as the child's shoes are free
from mud. The case seems
TO be one of criminal CLrelessness
on the part OF some driver in the first
place, and then cruel hcartiessness III
the attempt to cover the first crime.
Last evening as two workmen IN the
Michigan car works were going home
on the Lake Shore railroad track in the
suburbs of the city, they were struck
bv an outgoing train. One, named
John Frazer, was killed instantly, the
other, Rudolph Makron, had a leg
broken and il is feared has received fatal
internal injuries. The former, aged 2S,
leaves a wife and two children, the lat
ter, AGED -, has n wife and eight chill
dren. 1t is claimed that the locomo-
tive lamp was not lighted, nor the bell
nor whistle used when the train passed
the crossing where the accident occur

Gates that to-day is an Irish holiday, but
bevond this token and the celebration
at st. Patrick's Church of high mass by
Archbishop Fisher there is no evil
dence that the usually lively and
hilarious St. Patrick's day has
arrived. The societies are barred
from parading by the abominable condi-
ton OF the streets, and also by their IN
clination TO use the money which would
be 80 expended in ameli1rating the sui
ierings and strengthening the hands oil
their fellow countrymen across the At
lantic in obtaining what they consider TO
be their rights rs against the oppression
of landlords. The Irish citizens here
have sent considerable sum OF money
and it is understood more is ready TO 90
now for that purpose.
Slim Turnout at New York.
NEw York, March IA majority OF
the Irish societies in this city and Brook
lyn celebrated st. Patrick's Day by
meetings in various parts OF the two
cities. A much smaller procession than
usual formed up town and was reviewed
by the MayOr and Aldermen. 1t then
proceeded to Jones Woods, where
demonstration was given in aid oil the
Land League.
Small Parade at Cincinnati
CINcINNATI, March 7.-St. Patrick's
Day was celebrated by very small par
ade, in which three societies appeared.
The weather was rainy during the fore
noon and the streets were in wretched
condition, which no doubt reduced the
magnitude of the demonstration.

Two Cleveland Men Arrested Charged
with Defrauding the Government.
CLEVELAND, March 1.-THE arrest OF
Vanhise and Linn, land agents, by the
United States authorities, charged with
conspiracy TO defraud the Government,
created great excitement in real estate
circles here. Since the arrests many
people have come forward producing
deeds made out by Linn and his part
ner. The officers claim to have proof
that the men forged numerous sigma.
lures to deeds. John X. COrwin
was arrested with Linn aud Nanhise, but
against whom the charge OF conspir-
acy was not distinctly made, has been re-
arrested and charged with swindling the
Government; bail being fixed at - 1000.
The officials claim that they found sew
eral blank deeds acknowledged by Car
win, and considered this as good ground
for charging him with conspiracy.
Proofs are accumulatiug against the men
and it is claimed that they have secured
possession of Cleveland lots in ex.
change for Missouri lands. Assistant
District Attorney Meyer is looking for
adyices from st. Louis concerning the
transfer OF the men to that city Tor trial.

A Mob Assembling to Seek vengeance.
ST. LOUIS, March l7.-On Monday
night last VIM. Dierkman had an alter
cation, which led to fight, with his en-
ployer, Henry W. Merlz, ut Hilltown,
twenty miles west of this city, and the
former stabbed the latterin the abdomen
and thigh, the wounds resulting in his
death last night. Dierkman was arrest
ed and lodged in Jail. The affair has
created good deal of excitement, and
reports have reached this city that the
neiyhbors of Mertz and others living in
that part OF the country have gathered
at HiIltown with the determination OF
lvnching Derkman. The case is aggra.
waited by the fact that Dierkman's wife
was murdered two years ago, and al
though man named Stoeoki was con-
victed OF the crime, there are many who
believe that Dierkman was the real
murderer, and they are greatly incensed
against him.

ed to value the plant Of the American
Union Telegraph Company have award
ell the Central Construction Company
ten million in stock and five million IN
bonds. About one.hsli OF this was pald
previous to the consolidation. Subse-
quently the v. L. Company issued its
new stock for balance, and Yesterday the
Central Construction Company divided
il up among its stockholders who are
identical with the principal stockholders
OF the American Union Company, VIZ
Gould and his party. None OF the in
junction proceedings took any account
of this Indebtedness to the Construction
Company.
The telegraph people say that it WAS
never contemplated to interfere with
the payment, but Rufus Hatch, when
spoken to, characterized the issuance OF
new stock AS n trick to eyade the lniunc.
ton in part, and said that in his opinion
the orders of tho court had been disre'
garded. In response to the inquiry a.
to what he proposed to do about II. he
would only answer that he was not

A Serious Fall-A Coronsr's jury Fail to
Agree.


Agree.
PARKrRsBURo, March Inn. Reuben
Fry, a we'll known and respected citizen
OF this city, met with an accident yes
terday morning. which, in all probabili.
ty, will end fatally. He was engaged in
tearing of the roof Of q building short
distance from the city, when he slipped
and fell distance OF twenty-five feet,
crushing himself in q terrible manner.
He was brought to his home in this city,
where his injuries were attended TO. At
present his chances for recovery are
considered very slender.
The Coroner's jury in the case OF old
man Angel met again for the fourth
time yesterday afternoon. They failed
to agree unanimously upon verdict.
and did what no other Coroner's jury
ever did do since the formation OF this
State. They rendered two verlicts, =
minority and majority verdict. The
minority fve agreed that the deceased
came TO his death from natural causes,
while the majority seven rendered a
verdict that the deceased came TO his
death from nervous prostration. They
further found that Isaac Angel received
q whipping at the hands OF Mrs. :. =.
Stone on February oath, 1881, but were
unable to tell whether this whipping
brought on the nervous prostration.
The case has excited great deal of in
terest. The case will come up before
the grand jury in April.
