A SECOND VICTIM.

A Citiz ems Traction Line Gripman singu.
larly Unfortunate "A Colorcd Child
Crushed TO Death.
About $50 P. NJ. yesterday, as Emma
Stannard, a little colored girl. aged 4, at
tempted to follow larger companion across
Penn avenue, between Twenty-eighth and
Twenty-ninth streets, she was struck by car
210 of the Citizens traction line, and
badly injured. The gripman had been
ringing his alarm bell vigorously for fully
30 yards, but the little one was too intent
on following her companion, who was Aeeter
of foot
The child was removed to the West Penn
Hospital where she died at 7P. M, about
two hours after being struck. The gripman,
William Marks, at once delivered himself
up at the Nineteenth ward station on his
return trip, thoroughly broken down but
was Immediately released on his own recog-
nizances as the child was not vet reported
dead. Mr.. Marks feels this misfortune
more keenly as it tends to give him the
reputation of being an unlucky man to take
charge of car. as it was his car which
killed young Richards at Frankstown ave-
nue. a short time ago. He will probably be
placed under formal arrest until the con-
clusion of the inquest which will be held
this morning.

The Best Location Yet Suggested for EIec.
tric Wire Conduits.
Chief Bigelow, of the Department of
Public Works, said yesterday, when speak
ing of the resolution which passed Councils
to put all wires underground, that he thought
the most feasible plan, and one attended
with least interruption to traffic, would be
to place the conduits under the sidewalks.
If this work were done as speculation, the
city should reserve certain privileges, such
as right of way and the regulation of rates
to be charged.
Chief Brown, of the Department of Public
Safety, thought the plan good one, If it
did not interfere with the cellars which so
frequently extend beneath the sidewalk. It
would certainly occupy less space than tear
ing up the middle of the street. He was not
prepared to give any extended report on the
subject at present, as he had already stated,
but, as the wires were increasing in popuIa-
tion SO rapidly, the same remedy should be
applied as nature provides the too rapid
multiplication of the human race-to bury
them. This should certainly be done before
all the streets are rooted in with wires, which.
although they might keep off the rain,
would also keep out the sun and bring Pitts
burg back to more Ozark Days. than Hugh

school Monday morning. She was intrusted
with 20 cents to run an errand. She was
not seen afterward up to midnight. Hel

is afraid to return home as she might get a
whipping. The girl has already been for a

very incorriglbie. Her mother will proba-

A distinguished young individual whose

in defense an uncomfortable impulse to re-

Africa's burning sands.

The Reverend Doctor Receives. q Warm
Letter of sympathy.
Rev. I. N. Hays, of the Central Presby-
terian Church, Allegheny, who resigned the
pastorate on account of reduction in sal
ary, last night received letter from the
young men connected with his church, COM
mending him for his action in resigning
and expressing the hope that matters would
soon assume such shape as to permit of his
return at his former salary. The young
people of the church are unanimous in
wanting the return of the pastor.
DR.. Hays was seen at his residence
by a DISPATCH reporter last night.
He said: 81 have as yet formed no plans for
the future, but will continue to offciate4 as
pastor of the church until the meeting of the
Presbytery on the second Tuesday in De-
cember. It is not unwillingness on the part
of the members to support the church, but
simple inability. Many of the young men
and women of the congregation are employed
as clerks at small salaries, and contribute
according to their limited means. The finan-
cial trouble is chiefly owing to the location
of the church. While the church is in a por-
tion of the city well adapted for spiritual
warfare against sin, it does not attract the
more wealthy class of church goers."

Miss Wolfe, Of the Springfield School, Re.
fuses TO Teach the High School Glass
Some Of the Pupils Left.
At the Springfield School, Twelfth ward,
there has been some dissatisfaction caused
by the circulation of reports concerning the
standing OF the school. 1t has been as
serted that the school was deteriorating
educationally as well as numerically. DR..
McCready, director of the school, was
askedabout the matter. He said:
"The only troubleis between some teachers
Miss Wolfe. one of the teachers, is annoyed
because the board ordered her to teach the
High School class in connection with her
other duties. At the same time we in
structed Miss Hancock, the principal, to
supervise the whole school. relieving her
from teaching entirely. Miss Wolfe be-
came angry, and believe refused to teach
the High School class at the resumption of
studies after the last vacation. The reason
we have no High School class this year
is not the fault of the school. It
is mainly due to the fact that Miss Wolfe
notified the High School pupils previous to
the last vacation that when school resumed
there would be no such class. Frank Staub,
son Of DIR. Staub, when told that there
would be no High School class, quit and
went to the O'Hara school. His example
was followed by Elmira Curtis, who went to
the Grant school, and Charlie Wagponer.
Subsequently he was followed by Charlie
Corf. After the first couple left instituted
an Investigation into the cause of their leav-
ing.
Professor Luckey made a statement to
me that the cause Of so many failures in the
public schools was due to the fact that
principals would persist in teaching instead
of supervising their schools. We tried his
device and it has worked well. While
Professor Logan was principal the high
school class failed. We had a different
result, however, at the last examination.
We passed every pupil we sent up to be
examined. 1t is true that in the
month Of September the average
This is attributed to three causes. First,
away. This reduced our numbers % to 30.
Then there were absent about the same num-
Der. We also lost the High School class,
making total loss for that month of about
20. Since then the school has increased,
and yesterday we had an attendance of 401
out of 43S. We have now number sufi-
cient to retain the ten teachers, and there
fore no dismissal will take place."
Miss Hancock was subsequently seen. She
said: "All the teachers in my school are
working we'll except two. One of them SO
far forgets her position as to come out in the
public print and admit insubordination.
sat the opening of this term all the pupils
were present with the exception of one, Miss
Curtis. I went to her home and saw her
eldest sister, who told me that she had left
because the High School class had been
dropped. Before month had elapsed three
other High School scholars left for the same
cause. Miss Wolfe told me, beside telling
her class, that she would not teach them this
session."

holders Take Hope.
The work of putting up the poles for the
overhead wires for the Mt. Oliver Electric
Railway, on South Thirteenth street was
completed last evening, and Receiver Faw-
cett announces that the road will be started
again next Monday. When the road was
first put in operation the conduit running
from Carson street to the head of South
Thirteenth street would not work, and some
months were spent in making an effort to
overcome the difficulty. When Sc, 900 had
been expended on the conduit without Sc
curing satisfaction from il, it was abandoned,
and an ordinance was presented in Coun-
ellis, and passed, granting the right to use
the overhead system.
The road runs from Carson street up the
hill by way of Thirteenth street, the old
Plus street road, and back over Mt Oliver
to the first toll-gate on the Brownsville road.
1t is the intention to make several improve
ments on the road in the shape of new cars
which will be run at close intervals, thus
making it great convenience to the people
of the hill.
The road will take great deal of patron
age lrotn Inc N1ts OllVel Incline OOmpanV,
as it will reach all the principal points on
the hill, and will convey the passengers to
Carson street, the heart of the business por-
tiOn of the Southside, and place them in
easy access of the old city. The wires will
be put on the poles. and the road will be put
in readiness for operation this week. The
directors and others interested have great
faith in its being a success this time. The
original estimate on the cost of the road was
$50, 900, but before the first car was run over
it the cost had reached nearly S12O, 900.
Some of the stockholders were discouraged
and were inclined to abandon it entirely,
but since it has been placed in the hands Of
the receiver the future success of the railway
looks more favorable.

PETTY ROBBERS AT WORK.
This Time Business Men Along Penn Aveuue
Are Made Victims.

AFB WnOe FlCTlmBs
The residents Of Penn avenue and vicinity
have been afflicted recently with number
of petty robberies. Yesterday two more at
tempts at robbery were made. About 4
O'Clock in the afternoon the side door of the
plumbing shop of Thomas Ramseen, at No.
16A Penn avenue, was forced open during
1he absence of the proprietor. Two tills
were broken open, but no money was found
and the thieves left, taking with them an
Overcost belonging to Robert Mclaughlin.
Crossing the street they entered the bakery
of Fred Blubach. No one was in the store,
and they broke open the till. Mrs. Blubach
heard the noise and ran into the storeroom,
frightening the men away. There were two
of them, and their description has been
given to the police, who are on the lookout
for them
