there will be mass meeting of citizens
to consider the proposed sale of the water
works to a New York syndicate. This

has been lively discussion, and the drift
Of sentiment is decidedly against the sale.
The mass meeting will be large and lively.
The prospect is that the Council will be
asked to issue bonds to improve the works
and keep them in the hands of the city,
even if it is necessary to obtain an amend
ment to the city charter to give them this
power.

Then Kills Himself.

ANN A-AAAH
PITTsBURG, PA, May 21.-At No. 60
Webster avenue to-day Frank Bobbert, a
Hungarian tailor, aged 16 years, shot and
killed Lizzie Lippech, little 4-year-old
girl and then committed suicide. Bob
bert, who boarded with Mrs. Lippech, was
playing with the little girl. when he sud
denly pulled a revolver from his pocket
and fired, the ball passing through the
neck, killing her instantly. He then fred
two shots into his own breast near the
hea +. and died almost instantly. No
possible explanation can be given. One
theory is insanity and another is, that in
showing the revolver to the child, he ae-
cidentally discharged it, and then, realiz-
ing what he had done, took his own life.

Railroad Racket,

The c., r. l. & p. railway company
has notices posted along the line of the
road warning persons against walking on
the railroad and thus trespassing upon
the company's grounds. The reason for
such notice may be easily understood
when we remember that during the past
year there were nearly two hundred per-
sons killed by passing trains, while walking
on the lines of the railroads of this coun-
try The danger is much greater than
many may suppose and the order TO keep
off comes not from the fact that the road
bed is damaged by foot people, but in
the interests of the public safety.

Rungllng Safe Blowers

Some time last night, probably between
midnight and daylight, an attempt was
made to blow open and buIglarize the
safe in Davis & Co plumbing establish
ment IN First avenue between Seven~
tenth and Eighteenth streets. The ma,
RAIDERS entered through an east window
and passed into the office. The safe,
when the Office was opened this morning,
showed evidences of an attempted bur
glary, the crevices around the door being
enclosed with putty except for short
distance of about six inches On the
floor was large iron bar, brace and a
drill, and the safe door showed marks
where heavy welt had been dealt. The
door, however, had not been opened, and
with the exception of the tearing out of a
couple of leaves of an account book which
probably was for the purpose Of lighting
a fuse and blowing the safe open. 1t was
bungling job, and who the miscreant is,
is unknown, although there are susPi-
cions. A stranger called at the office
