1T ISNOVEL WARFARE
Two Incline Railroad Companies
Fighting Over Ground.
SHOvELED MUD USED AS MISSILES.
A Force Of Workmen Dig Holes and
Another Throw the Dirt Back.
THE MT. OLIVER COMPANY Is ROUTED

The right of way dispute of the Mount
Oliver and Pittsburg Incline Plane Com
panies at the head of South Twelfth street
yesterday morning, eliminated in a novel
and exciting warfare. The men of each
company encamped on the ground Monday
night, and early yesterday morning rs men,
of the Mt Oliver company's force, COM
menced to dig hole for the foundations un-
der the coal shed of Joseph Keeling. About
o'clock Superintending Engineer Ken
nedy, of the Pittsburg company, told his
men. numbering 35, to charge on the rival
company. They threw the dirt into the
holes and on top of the other company's
men.
Mr.. Schultz, of the Mt. Oliver company,
then tried to concentrate his men about one
hole, but they were likewise surrounded
and
CoMPL ETELY CHECKMATED.
The men were in the best Of humor and
thoroughly disappointed the large crowd of
people expecting more serious trouble to
follow. Both sides soon grew tired of the
war and, on legal advice, Mr.. Schultz with
drew his men. The other company took ad-
vantage of the situation and by last evening
had nearly completed the excavations for
one pier.
Both companies claim the ground by
charter, the Mt. Oliver company claiming
previous charter. A representative of the
latter company said last night that an in
junction would not be filed against the
other company.
RIGHT OF EMINENT DOMAIN.
1t would, in such event, be thrown into
court. They will condemn the property
and take it by right OF their charter when
they get ready.
The Pittsburg company are working both
night and day to complete their plane.
Fifteen of their men were quartered in the
two frame houses the company recently pur-
chased on Mary Ann street. They quit
work at o'clock in the evening and resume
work at midnight. The other 80 men were
held in emergency, but as the Mt. Oliver
and Pittsburg companies do not intend con-
tinuing the war, their services were not re-
quired.

THE TYPHOID SCARE.
Cases Reported by Physicians in
Pittsburg as in Allegheny.
AN EPIDEMIC MAY BE IMMINENT.
A Contaminated Well in the Twentieth
Ward Creates Alarm.
INSANITY RESULTS WITH ONE PATIENT

The apparent epidemic of typhoid fever is
not confined to Allegheny. as, upon very
good authority, Pittsburg has every reason
to fear an outbreak in several localities as
serious as Allegheny.
DR.. Heiber, of Penn avenue, has under
treatment four cases, which he will report
this morning. The cases are in the Twelfth
ward, near Thirtieth street. Mrs. Movitz,
a married woman with two children, lives
in one room of court off Penn avenue near
Thirtieth street, and for the past five days
has been suffering from typhoid fever. DR..
Heiber was the attendant physician. Yes
terday morning he was summoned, and
found the patient had gone violently insane
from the effects of the fever. 1t required
two men to hold her down until an anes-
thetic could be given her. Her recovery
is very doubtful The court in which Mrs.
Movitz lives is very small one, and has
crowded into it
AT LEAST FIFTY FAMILIES,
apartment to live in. DR.. Heiber stated
that the water was good, but the close con-
finement of the families rendered the air ex-
ceedingly unhealthy. A spread of the dis
ease is said to be imminent.
A far more dangerous locality is found on
Myrapoe avenue, Twentieth ward, near Ben
Venue station, on the Pennsylvania Rail-
road, where at least % persons are said to
be afflicted with the fever. Mr.. Samuel
Bellman, druggist at Forty-eighth and But
Ter streets, had the information of the cases
given him. The fever is said, upon these
medical authorities, to be due to the use of
cool water from a spring, known
the foot OF the hill upon which Myrapoe
avenue is situated. The locality is quite
select, and many OF the best families have
children who are
SUFFERING FROM THE FEVER.
One physician has charge of IL cases
alone, nearly all of which are of malignant
nature. Mr.. Piper, who is owner of the
spring, is prominently connected with the
Pittsburg Bridge Works, but was unaware
Der of newly-opened streets on the hill gave
an overflow to the refuse of the vaults which
contaminated the drinking water. There is
a great deal of anxiety manifested among
the residents of the locality, and many fear
an epidemic will break out.
Many of the residents in the neighbor-
hood claim that all the springs should be
closed by the city authorities, and the water
of the wells and cisterns tested to detect the
nature of the water.

RIVERMEN APPREHENSIVE.
Repairs Still In Progress Upon the Davi
Island Dam-The Wickets Still Down.

Repairs Still In Progress Upon the Davis
Island Dam-The Wickets Still Down.
With the exception of such results as the
recent lively local rains have had upon the
Monongahela and Allegheny rivers, the
river and steamboat men still fear serious
lowering of the water in the three rivers
above Davis Island dam.
Inquiry was made yesterday by telephone
of the United States engineer at the dam and
in answer to questions it was stated that the
repairs to the dam were still in progress and
would continue for an indefinite period. No
time has as yet been thought of or announced
for the raising OF the wickets and the river
men are daily becoming more apprehensive
that low water may come with a rush and
leave the boats in the local trade aground.
The engineer, however, limited that he had
his weather eye upon the water-line and that
all would be right at the proper time.

b. X. Bruce, the CoIored Ex-senator. Passes
Through the City-He Says Harrison
VIII Treat All Southern People Right.
Ex-senator B. Z. Bruce, of Mississippi,
Registrar of the Treasury under President
Arthur. was passenger on the limited last
night The Senator, who has warm cor
ner in his heart for all newspaper men,
came from Washington, en- route for Iowa,
where he is going on one Of his periodical
lecturing tours.
Politics are just now at a standstin in
Washington, he responded, when asked as
to the latest news from there. "All politi-
cal speculations are off until President Har-
rison returns. The general topic in Wash
ington is the probability of q special ses-
sion of Congress next October, and as far as
1 could learn, believe there will be one.
Regarding any new appointments the
Senator was noneommittal, but he intimated
that number of big plums would be given
away when the President returned.
'Do you think Harrison is treating your
colored brethren in the South quite fairly,
SENATOR" was asked.
,"Yes, 1 do. Those people are too impa-s
tient. President Harrison means to do
what is right, and if he is only left alone,
he will prove that he intends to do the best
thing tor all who are deserving"

IMPOSSIBLE TO AVERT 1T.
That Will be the South Fork Line of De-
Tense In That Suit.

That viii be the South Fork Line of De-
Tense in That Suit.
AttorneyJ. H. Reed yesterday stated the
line of defense which the South Fork Fish
ing Club intend to pursue in the forthcom-
ing Little suit. They will plead that the
flood was an extraordinary event, entirely
unforeseen by the club, and that the break
ing of the dam was not the cause of the
food, but merely an incident to it. The
dam was quite strong enough to stand a
great pressure; but the volume Of water
which destroyed it was something no one
could have been possibly prepared for.
"Wiseacres are of course to be found, he
says, who cry, L told you so;' but the fact
is they never told anybody. The dam was
always held to be perfectly safe. 1 don't
think the other side can prosecute each in
dividual member of the club. The dam
was common property, and if anyone man
was responsible for its bursting, the whole
corporation was equally responsible"
Mr.. Reed wound up by saying he could
not imagine how the other side expected
anything but defeat.

A PECULIAR LETTER.

The Allegheny Mayor in Bad Need of nm In.
terpreter Lnst Night.
Mayor Pearson, of Allegheny, received a
peculiar letter yesterday. 1t was from Max
Guehl, of Nuremberg, Germany. Mr.: Guehl
wanted to know if there were any round
about owners in Allegheny, and if they
are engaged in their trade. The Mayor was
puzzled to know what roundabout owners
meant. After a considerable portion of the
German population of Allegheny and Pitts
burg was seen, and several German and
English dictionaries consulted, it was
learned that the singular term means "own-
ers of fencing schools, and the Mayor will
be able to reply to Mr.. Guehl to-day.

NEITHER DEAD NOR SLEEPING.

Judge Ramsey Delights Thousands By
Pooling the Coroner.
A false report gained very general circu-
lation last evening that genial Judge
William Ramsey, editor of the Sunday
Globe, had dropped dead in business house
in the lower part of the city. Coroner Nc
Dowell heard of the rumor and sent couple
of his assistants down from the Court House
to find the remains.
About o'clock in the evening, however,
a party of searchers came across the genial
Judge, sitting in a downtown restaurant,
enjoying hearty supper, as much alive as
ever he was. He explained his absence by
saying he had been over to the baseball
game. but couldn't understand how the re-
port of his decease had gained currency.

RE-sURvEYING THE COUNTY LINE.

The Commissioners Appointed for the Pur-
pose TO Begin Their Work To-day.
The re-survey of the county line between
Allegheny and Washington counties will
begin to-day in charge of the commissioners
appointed by the courts. County Engineer
Davis, of Allegheny; County Engineer
McAdams, of Washington, and Mr.. Gilmer,
the three commissioners, will meet this
morning at Murdocksville, on the county
line, and will hold their first consultation as
to the best method of effecting the re-
survey.
They will have copious extracts from the
records of both counties to guide them in
their work, which is one of some magnitude.
At least q or % miles of the county line
may have to be materially changed, as
many of the stones or landmarks placed in
years gone-by to mark the line have been
removed or destroyed by interested parties.
Some mooted cases of county taxation,
which have been long in dispute, and arrears
will be finally settled by the re-survey. A
force of four chainmen and two fagmen
will be made use of by the commissioners.

WILMOT STREET BRIDGE.

Plans and Specifications Awaiting the In.
spection of Bridge Builders.
Plans and specifications for new iron
bridge to form portion of Wilmot street in
the Fourteenth ward were finished by Chief
Bigelow's corps of draughtsmen yesterday,
and will be open to inspection this morning
of contractors who may be interested in
bidding upon its construction. The new
structure will span deep ravine on Will
mot street between Halcott and Bates
streets, which has been bridged for several
years by an antediluvian wood structure.
The new bridge will be nearly 25O feet long,
ard its style will depend of course upon the
bids made for its erection. The masonry
approaches of the proposed bridge have
been completed, and the Department of
Highways intends to hustle the job to early
completion.

THE SABBATH GUARDIANS.

They Enter Seven More suits Before Alder
man CarlisIe-Two Aaninst Quinu-Po.
lice Department Exposes Boitier's
Game.
Seven new suits were entered by the Law
and Order Society before Alderman Carlisle
as result of last Sundays sales by drug
gists and other merchants. Simon Kaercher,
the Allegheny druggist, was again arrested
yesterday and gave bail for hearing to-
morrow. William Quinn was also arrested
and furnished security tor a hearing on the
same day. Quinn is the lemonade dealer at
the Casino Musee. Just before his arrest
by Carlisle's constable he was fined $50 by
Alderman Nolan on a charge of Sunday
selling preferred by his father. This suit
was to prevent the L. and o. people from
getting half the fine, and to furnish the
basis for protest against second suit on
the same charge.
Inspector McAleese yesterday entered an
information before Alderman MeKenna
against Joseph Speelman for selling liquor
without license and selling on Sunday in
the Thirteenth ward. He claims that when
Judge Stowe reopened the License Court
Speelman got bottlers' license, under the
cover of which he has been retailing since.

The Directors of the Globe Company Will

The members of the Globe Sewer Pipe
Company are all at the Seventh Avenue
Hotel and will hold a meeting to-day. N.
B. Billingsly, Esq, of New Lisbon. attor-
ney of the company, speaking of the re-
ported collapse of the Sewer Pipe Trust,
last night said: 81 think that report is
nothing but talk. AS far as I am aware,
the company is in as good financial stand
ing to-day as ever. of course, prices are
rather low; but that is the result of keen
competition, and, if any sewer pipe concern
can stand it, we can"
''What is the purpose of this meeting?"
81 do not know that there is anything
special in it. The directors meet here once
a month, and this is one of their regular
meetings."
The Globe Sewer Pipe Companyis COM
posed of the largest manufacturers in the
country, and, although Mr.. Billingsly did
not saw so, it is supposed that to-day's meet
ing is called for the purpose of inviting the
smaller companies not yet in the trust, to
join in the combination and fix prices.

POSTMASTERSHIP GOSSIP.

A Friend of James 9. Mexican Indulges In a
Vein of Sarcasm.
James s. McKean, upon whom the post
not accessible last evening. and was re-
ported to be closeted with several of his
mastershipl lightning may or may not fall, was
ardent adherents, talking the situation
over.
The Americus Club members were en-
tirely non-committal upon the reported
ton, since that gentleman arrived in the
Capital. One of them vouchsafed the state
ment that the only possible thing that could
effect McKean's chances for the Pittsburg
plum would be "for Senator Quay to fall
out with the administration"-a contingency
too temote for conception.

and tried to hold him. The pair wrestled
about the room. Both fell down the stairs
Officer Guenther was attracted to the
place, but was too late, as the man had
made his escape, taking with him pocket

AN ELECTRIC FISH STORY.

A Chicago Electrician Who Invented Very
Novel Device.
One of the latest and most novel electrical
devices has been gotten up by Chicago
electrician, the details of which were told
yesterday by one of the electrical experts of
the Westinghouse Electric Company. 1t is
device for catching fish by electricity.
There is small apparatus attached to the
hook at the end of the fish line. From this
apparatus one electric wire goes to the bot
tom of the water while the other leads to the
tached. As soon as the fish, attracted by the
bait, comes close enough, he receives an cleo
trio shock which either kills him Immediate
ly or else stuns him. and brings him to the
surface,

the West Bellevue people are exceedingly
wroth, threatening to pull the boards up.
There has been some disputation on the
matter OF the walk lately between the two
boroughs of Bellevue and West Bellevue.

stlll another room was part OF box of
soap, and in a refrigerator on deck we're the
perishable eatables. But the trip had ex-
hausted nearly everything in the line of
food. Finally the artist and reporter spied
the kitchen, and decided that it would make
a good subject for sketch, in absence of any
well-defned larder. The artist made few
fourishes from position just through the
door to the china closet. Looking over his
shoulder at the sketch, the other visitor
suggested: "How would it do to take that
partition out meanlng out OF the sketch
and give full interior view?'
IT WAS FASTENED.
"Can't take that partition out for you,
young man; it's stationary" said the genial
old Captain, looking up at the artist and
then at the partition. The smile that iIlu-
minated the face of the two pencilists in
turn failed to make the Captain "catch on, -
and he hurried off to attend to paying off
the men.
A moment after the reporter strolIed to
the bow of the boat and found the captain
in his state room, arrayed in his boiled
shirt, and fixed up generally in his "shore
clothes" 'I'd like %, but 1 can't spend
time to give you anything" said he; ''but
I'll put you in tow of the steward; he
knows all about boating" The steward
came up duu JOOh u CHAIR DeSlQe the re-
porter and had just commenced his song of
the boatman when the captain sent him off
with S20-bill to get changed. While he
was gone the reporter strolled down to the
engine room and chatted with the engineer.
Negro deck hands were already al work
cleaning up the engine and wiping away
the dust and SCOT and all appearances OF the
trip.
Eyes, we have to take great care of the
machinery" said the engineer, ito keep it
in good shape and ready for work. You
know the whole thing depends on the en-
CINE"
There is, in all departments of steamboat
ing, though often hazardous and calling for
steady nerves and quick action, o vein of
humor and a kind of free, go-as-you-please
air. The engineer said that they often got
green hand at the levers, and then someone
would ring the bell, or the spring bell
would ring itself from a jar. The green
hand would rush to the lever, and then they
would call to him and have the smile on
him, when the boat tied up.
JACK AT ALL TRADES
The engineer is supposed to be a black
smith, gas and steam filter, and know all
about machinery and everything else," said
the informant, as he pointed to a black
smith forge and tools. "It's no sinecure, L
can tell you"
At this juncture the reporter went up
stairs, and soon returned with the change
and sat down to tell something about the
trip. The Enterprise left for Louisville
July 10 to bring back empties. The follow
ing are her crew, with the wages they re-
ceive: Captain. 500 per month; mate, s75;
second mate, or watchman, $50; two pilots,

month; second engineer, S75; four fremen,
