THE SOUTHSIpE HOSPITAL.
The Physicians Rent Building Themselves
They Trust 90 the Public 20 Aid Them
with Suhscrfnfinns.

The Physicians Rent Building Themselves
With Subscriptions.
The Southside Hospital is about to be-
come reality. A number of the physicians
held a meeting yesterday morning for the
purpose of discussing plans of the proposed
institution. Among the gentlemen present
were DR.. j. NJ. Duff and Drs. Arnholt, Miller,
Thomas Wood, StengeI and Pollock.
Several of the gentlemen reported that the
scheme was now so far advanced that they
had a number of people interested in the mat
ter who have promised to aid the project in a
financial way. Among these there are espe-
cially enthusiastic ladies. A committee of the
physicians then resolved to go ahead and rent
a building on their own responsibility, with the
hope that the general public, especially the
manufacturers, would come forward and help
them.
The building selected is the property of Mr.
John Schott, on the corner OF Carson ana south
Twenty-second streets. This building was for
merly saloon, and there is large open space
connected with it, which used to be called the
Atlantic Garden
One of the physicians said in regard to the
project of the committee last night: This time
the hospital is a sure thing. We have now such
prosperous outlook for its establishment-and
within few weeks, too-that it cannot fail
From several parties we have the promise Of
funds, and others will help us to furnish the
place and SO on. We decided, therefore. to
take the bull by the horns. and rent building
ourselves. We did this to show the people our
earnestness of spirit, and think they will show
their appreciation by coming forward with sub
scriptions.
1.-The Atlantic Garden is the best building we
could get because while the rooms in the house
are well suited for serious cases, other patients
will have the advantage Of walking in the gar
den adjoining the building"
When do you think You will open the insti-
tution?'
''As far as am able to judge now, believe
about the first of June"

NEW STREET RAILROADS
And Several Extensions TO be Made Over
On the NOrthside in the Future.

And Several Extensions TO be Made Over
On the NOrthside in the Future.
The Allegheny Committee on Street Rail-
roads met last night. The ordinance pro-
viding for the building of the Pittsburg and
Bellevue street railway was referred to the
City Solicitor for the purpose of ascertaining
what action of Councils would be legal in the
matter. The ordinance providing for the ex-
tension of the Union Line road to Central ave-
nue., was referred to a subcommittee who will
60 over the proposed route. An ordinance
providing for the extension of the Pleasant
Valley Railway was withdrawn and that of the
building of the Cross Town road substituted
for it To this was also added an amendment
which provides for tracks on Montgomery ave-
nue. to Arch street, to Geyer alley, to Webster
street, to Taylor avenue, to Irwin avenue, to
Washington avenue, to Sedgwick street, to
California avenue, to Superior avenue.
There are two petitions accompanying the
ordinance, signed by property owners along the
route well as residents, asking that the right
of way be given the company.
1t is proposed to use either horse power or
electricity as the motor. and if the latter, per-
mission is asked for leave to erect overhead
wires. From the Seventh street bridge the
tracks of the Pleasant Valley Company are to
be used to Federal street and Montgomery ave-
nue., where the new route begins. There was
no discussion on the ordinance, and it was or
dered printed fer Councils.
During the meeting of the committee dele
cation of property owners on North avenue ap-
peared, among them Messrs. John Thompson
r. II. Boggs and II. W. Mckee. They had
held an informal meeting in one of the corri-
dors of the halls to protest against the erection
of poles now going on for the stringing of cleo
trio wires on North avenue. The delegation
intended to protest before the committee, but
none of them asked to be heard and the COM
mittee adjourned 1t is understood the gentle
men will ask the court for an injunction re-
straining the company from putting up the
poles.

SATISFIED WITH THE SITUATION.

The Strikers mt Duquesne Believe They
Will Win the Fight Before Many Days.
There were no further developments in the
strike at the Allegheny Bessemer Steel
Works at Duquesne yesterday. No new
men arrived during the day. The strikers
are still very much annoyed at the railroad tie
story in the. morning papers, and some went SO
far as to say that no ties had been placed on
the track. The storywas reported to the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company, and they now
have detective at work, and the latest is that
they think they have clew.
The following notice was posted by the
strikers to-day:
All locked out men of the Allegheny Bessemer
Steel Company will meet at 5:15 P. M, May2 1889,
in the strikers hall.
There will be two brass bands and several
Homestead men will be present at the meeting.
1t is expected the strike will receive a fresh
start and make things interesting for the mill
men. Two Of the strikers went to work yester-
day morning They were formerly employed
as engineers, and they say they went back SO
they would not lose their jobs. The strikers
seem well enough satisfied with the situation
as long as they don't take in any skilled work
men and keep the Italians. There were three
or four heats blown yesterday, and as tar as
can be learned they succeeded in making gooo
steel

NOT A GENERAL STRIKE.
Some of the Workers In the Building Trades
Come Out-MOst of the Carpenters, How
ever, Remain mt Work.

Some of the Workers In the Building Trades
Come Out-MOst of the Carpenters, How
ever, Remain at Work.
The predicted strike in the building trades
did not materialize to any great extent yes
terday. The Brotherhood of Carpenters and
Joiners made demand for 50 IS per day as
the minimum, an advance Of % cents, no work
with non-union men and no material from nom
union men. This demand was fixed for May l.
Yesterday Special Agent Swartz, of the BROTH
erhood, said thatthe demand had been granted
at almost all of the shops and a general strike
had been prevented. Over two-thirds of the
men have been receiving 81 75 per day, and the
wages question was hardly an issue. AS for
outside carpenters coming in and taking the
mems places, he thought this was ridiculous.
By actual count epty-four-twenty-ffths of
all the carpenters are now in the union, and
there are no non-union men to bring in.
Mr. Swartz said he had been all over the two
cities and did not find strike on any big job
He had talked to some of the largest contract
ors. and they expressed themselves as sat
isfed.
The hod carriers demanded an advance of 25
cents per day, making their wages 81 So and "a
firms promptly as reed to pay the advance
The others are expected to fall into line before
the end of the week, but their employees are
now ON strike.
A number of the stonemasonS on the South
side struck yesterday for an advance of cents
per hour in wages. They have been getting SO
cents and want 40 cents. The STRIKE however,
is not general

THE DEAD LlVETH.
Joke Played Upon n Well -Knowh Person
Yesterday.

A cruel trick was perpetrated yesterday
on the old gentleman who is familiar in the
lower part of the town as the "folding-chair
man." Almost any pleasant day he is to be
seen along Wood street, Fourth avenue, or
Grant street, reclining on a wonderful folding
of the pavement. As it is all for the purpose
of advertisement the old fellow affects an in
difference and ease which attract the attention
of people If he isn't smoking quietly or read
ing intently he is to all appearances sleeping
soundly.
Possibly the sleep he dropped into yesterday
afternoon at the corner of Wood street and
Fourth avenue was more than pretense. He
was stretched out at full length upon his chair
in the warm sunshine. A mischievous news
boy stole up quietly and land upon the old mans
breast card upon which he had scrawled in
bold letters the word "Deadr' A resuscitation
took place very quickly short time after
ward.

THE MINERS STRIKE.
Over 1000 Railroad Golfers Will be Ont

Over 1000 Railroad Golfers Will be Ont
To-day, MIR. Conway Says.
The strike of the railroad coal miners an
nounced to take place yesterday has been
commenced. 1t is not general, as some of
the men must clear up their rooms before
quitting work. President Conway, of Sub
division No. of the National Progressive
Union, said yesterday that he expected 1900
men would be idle to-day.
There are 81 mines in Western Pennsylvania,
and MIR. Conway received kilograms from the
majority of them yesterday to the effect that
they would be idle to-day.
They seem determined to secure the "a cent
rate for the entire year, as several of the oper-
ators have taken contracts based on this price
for mining. President Conway made a tour of
the railroad mines in this vicinity yesterday,
and last night went to Findlayville He is con-
fident that the price Will be paid before the
end of the week.
Vice President Davis, who was present at the
meeting held at Ruppels Hall on Tuesday,
denies the statement that he has taken an op-
posite view to President Mcbride on the wage
question. He says he believes Mr.. McBride's
position on the question is correct.

AN OHIO MAN ROBBED.

He Alleges That He Lost n vaIise COntain-
ing S2,7OO Yesterday.
About o'clock yesterday morning a man
who gave his name as J. D. Schott, of Co.
lumbus, Ohio, accosted an officer on Penn
avenue, saying he had just been robbed of
81 200 by two men, who had held him up at the
point of revolver. Schott said he had arrived
over the Panhandle Railroad on the 8 A. M.
train.
He met man who volunteered to guide him
to a cheap hotel out Penn avenue. They
started, and had reached Thirteenth street.
when another man came up, and while the
first man held revolver at his.head the new
conner snatched a small satchel containing
81, 700 from his hand and started of with it
Scott's guide then told HIM to start off in the
opposite direction, threatening to blow, his
heart out if he made a sound
Schott had walked two squares before he
met a policeman. A thorough search of the
neighborhoOd was maze at once and the entire
force of the city kept lookout for the miss
ing satchel yesterday, but no clew to it was
found.
Schott could give no definite description of
the men and was quite vague in several points
Of his story, leading the police to think he was
a fraud.

A WELL-KNOWN PRIEST DEAD.
Rev. Father John Denny, Who Used to be
at the Cathedral.

Rev. Father John Denny, Who Used to be
at the Cathedral.
Rev. Father John Denny. who had been
stationed at ST. Paul's Cathedral for about
two years until last October, died yesterday
afternoon at Altoona. About three weeks ago
he contracted heavy cold, from which he
afterward took congestion of the lungs.
He was born in Butler county in 1860. He
received a thorough education, and, following
the dictates of his conscience. he decided to
study for the priesthood. He went to Rome,
where he studied at the Propaganda. and was
ordained just about two years ago. He came
to this country, and was assigned to duty at
the Cathedral, where he performed his first
ministerial duties.
About the 1st of October last he was trans
ferred from ST. PauPs to Johnstown, where he
remained up until two weeks ago, when he was
sent to Altoona. While at the Cathedral he
was a great favorite with the people, who
dearly loved him. Upon hearing of his death
last evening many of the parishioners dropped
silent tear and were shocked beyond meas
ure. The remains will probably be inferred i'll

A CURIOUS MIX.

Two Wagons, Cable Car and a Train Get
EntanRled.
In blockade of wagons and cars on Penn
avenue at the Fort Wayne Railroad cross
ing yesterday afternoon cable car and two
wagons got so curiously entangled that the
great bulk of the blockade was held until an
other long freight train brought down the
safety gates again. One of the wagons was
full of long iron bars. These had pierced the
side of laundry wagon, which in turn bad got
its wheel jammed tight up against the step of
the cars rear platform. There was some vivid
cursing by half hundred teamsters.
With so many cable cars running on the Cit
izens' line now and their speed being SO much
greater than with the old horse cars it is a
common thing to see ten cars drawn up on
either side of the railroad track awaiting the
passage Of freight train.
