Unlicensed Saloons.

PITTsBURG, July %. - Special
County Detective Mccall has discov-
cred that unlicensed saloons in Pitts
burg are selling fully as much beer, if
not more, than those authorized by
law. The unlawful sale has increased
to such an extent as TO compel sever
al breweries TO put on a special deliv-
cry service. This differs from the
regular service in the fact that all
packages are delivered between the
hours of 8 O'Clock p. m. and 5 a. N
The wagons used are different in
every way from the regular beer
wagon. They are equipped with
high closely fitting covers which com.
pletely hide from view the interior of
the vehicle. Oaly unlicensed houses
ara supplied. Mill men patronize
these establishments 10 large extent.
In order to conceal the true character
Of the place the proprietor has pla-
cards posted announcing that nothing
but soft drinks are sold.
Mr.. Mccall has collected any quan-
tity of evidence of this kind and will
shortly proceed against scores of the
offenders Licensed saloon keepers
have aided considerably in the collec.
tion of the evidence, Brewers say
their business has increased despite
the fact that there are less than 800
licensed saloons in the city as against
1900 a year ago.

COM MUkiCATI0NS,
Birthday Celebration.

CoALTowN, July 26, IS
DresFy must be the lie that has
20 days 30 which memory clpgs
with more than ordinary interest;
that has no days which ssem, after
the lapse of time, to have contained
more of the joys Of life and less Of its
SORROWS, more of the sweets of exist
ence and less of the bitter things than
the average day in ones career.
One OF these days. lon. to be re-
nembered by many, was the 26th of
July 1888 On that day m,ny of
the friends Of Mrs. John Emery as
semblea With the family to celebrate
her 4scd birthday. Although it was
IN the midst Of the farmers busiest
season, friends far and near gladly
laid away the cares of the day, put
on their holiday attire, gathered at
the residence of this friend and We'd
with each other in seeing who could
do the most in making the day en-
joyahle.
They came laden with those fat
things of the country for which phys,
zeal man has an occasional yearning
and, which after beiag prepared by
| the ladies, they partook Of with that
relish peculiar to persons enjoying
good health end having Industrious
habits.
The meeting was afterwards called
to order by Mr.. Amos Hail and q
prayer was offered by Mr.. William
Emery.
Mr.. VIM. Lindsey was placed in
the Chair and Mr.. John r. Greer
was elected Sec'y
The audience then had the pleasure
of listening to speeches by the Presi-
dent, Messrs. Amos Hall, Geo Ne
QUESTION, Geo. Dohson, Ms. John
Bolinger, Mrs. Amos Hall, Mrs. Geo
Dobson, Mrs. DR.. Grossman, Mrs.
Reed Hail and Mr.. John Emery
all of which were highly appreciated
The other performances were inter
spersed with the finest Of music to
which all gave the best of their tal-
ent5.
Mrs John Stoughton then present
ed 10 the hostess quite a large num-
her of articles both useful and orna-
ental,-the Offering of the friends
assembled.
The meeting was closed by the
President, in behalf of Mrs. Emery,
thanking the audience for their pres
ence, their words OF love and friend
ship and the tokens Of love they had
so kindly given.
After little more social enjoy
ment, all returned to their homes
with the conviction that life is really
worth living,

A Strange Case.

Titusvil'e, Pa, has strange social
sensation on hands, the particulars of
which are given as follows: Some
time ago Dr. J. L. Dunn was called
apoa to prescribe for Mlss Gertie Ro-
berts, who resides with her parents
on Martin street. The doctor was
led to believe from the symptoms
that the young lady was either enci-
entc or afflicted with an ovarian tu-
NOR and after rigid cross questioning
the tumor theory was accepted and
an operation decided upon. DR.. Dunn
thea requested that DR.. Variau be
called 10 as that gentleman made q
specially Of such cases COnsequeu-
tly DR.. Variam was sent for, and,
after suhjecting the young lady to a
thorough examination and question
ing, in WHICH she reiterated all she
had told DR.. Dunn concerning her
virginity, agreed with DR. Dunl. and
so far as can be discovered, assumed
charge Of the case, setting Monday
morning at 9 o'clock as the hour for
the operation. At the request of De-.
Varian, Drs Barr, Young and Luke
were present during the operation,
DR.. Dunn being out OF town. 1t was
soon discovered that q mistake had
been madc-,hat the physician had
been deceived, but the surgical work
bad been begun and the life Of the
patient depended upon its prompt
completion The operation was
therefore finished and an eight pound
boy baby. OF tie eight months order,
was exhibited to the nstounded gaze

They Don't Want Jerusalem.

The scheme of D.. Sivatra, the
Hebrew divine of Chicago, to restore
Jerusalem to the Jews, does not meet
with the approval of that race in
Pittsburg. Josiah Cohen, the law
yer, laughed heartily when asked for
his opinion. at looks like huge
joke" he said. "The Jews of this
country are satisfied. They have
more liberty here than in any
other country on earth, and there
isn't one in 100000 who would be
willing to return to Palestine. Mod
ern Jews don't believe in the restora
tion of Jerusalem. Orthodox Jews
do, but not in any such way as this" !"
"The scheme is wild one," said
J. E. Isaacs, secretary of the congre-
CATION of Bn0 Israel. "This scheme
of colonization might be worked in
Russia, or some other country, where
the Hebrews are prosecuted, but not
in this country"

Improving the P. & w.
Pittsburg Times.

flttsOurg Times
The Pittsburg and Western Rail.
rovd Company is considering some
important and extensive improve
ments to be made along the line in
the near future. Most of these i'm
provements are to be made south OF
New Castle junction. The long tres
tie at Moravia will be filled up with
furnace Stag, and the high trestles at
Chewton ard Wurtemberg will, as
soon as they show any sign of decay
be replaced with substantial iron
bridges. 1t is also proposed to build
short line across the peninsula en-
closed in the loop of the Connoque-
Messing river between Wurtemberg
and Hazel Dell. This loop will do
will do away with the heavy grades
and many curves which mark the
present roadway. Fully three miles
in theaviest part of the road will thus
be cut out and saved to transporta-
tion. The proposed short cut has
already been surveyed, and at no
point will the grade be heavy, and
tie line will be comparatively straight
If this line is built two new bridges
will be needed across the Conneque
Messing, and these win be, like the
others most substantially built, either
iron or stone being used in their con.
struction.
These improvements are made nee
essGry by the rapid increase in the
business of the road and the closer al,
lance with the Erie system which
will result from the completion Of the
New Castle and Sharon Valley Rail
road. This is expected to materially
increase both freight and passenger
business of the road.
Five new locomotives for the Pitts
burg and Western Railroad are now
in course of construction at the Pitts
burg Locomotive Works. One o
them, intended for heavy freight use
will be completed in few days.
