HOPING FOB RELIEF.
The American Copyright League Confident
That Congress VIII Pass an Infernn-
tlOnal Copyright Bnl-An Amend-
menr That is Expected 20

ment That Ii Expected 20
Carry One Through.
New YORK, November S.-All the
speeches made at the annual meeting OF the
American Copyright League. in Mott Hall,
yesterday, indicated conviction on
the part of the leaders OF the movement
that Congress will pass an international
copyright law this season. E. G. Stedman,
the banker poet, who presided, told
the members that despite the defeat of the
proposed bill in the last Congress, there was
abundant evidence that Congress would
have passed the measure if it had got q
chance to vote. The Senate, he said,
had passed the measure by ahandsome vote,
but in the House the tilibustering of a
single member had choked off all chance to
get vote.
The league authorized its Executive Com
mittee to urge before the coming Congress a
bill, recently framed, to take the place Of
the defeated measure, and which embodies
suggestions made by Mr.. Thorwald Saul
berg, the assistant to A. II. Spoford, the
Librarian of Congress. Secretary George
Walton Green said that the amended bill had
received the approval of all the trades and
interests identified with the bookmaking
trade. The cordial support of the Typo
theta has been secured for the measure BY
,inserting a stringent provision that copy
rights be granted to only those books
by foreign authors that shall be
printed in America, from type set by
American printers, and shall be finished BY
American bookbinders. The original bill
did not contain this clause DR.. Edward
Eggleston had succeeded in demonstrating
to them that the proposed law would have
the effect of increasing the book-making
business in this country without lowering
the wages Of the book printers and binders.
The annual election resulted in the re-
election of President james Russell Lowell,
Vice President Edmund Clarence Stedman,
Secretary George Walton Green, Treasurer
Robert Underwood johnson, and DR.. Ed
ward Eggleston as Chairman of the Execu-
tive Committee,

A LIVELY TINE IN PROSPECT.
The Bouncing of Firemen to be Considered
by the Public Safety Committee.

The Bouucing of Firemen to be Considered
by the Public Safety Committee.
The Committee on Public Safety will meet
this afternoon in their regular monthly meet
ing.
Among the most important matters to be
considered are Chief Browns communica-
ton to Councils, in which he sets forth the
importunings of Councilmen and others to
him for the retention of certain men on the
police and fire departments, when the men
are either too old or otherwise disabled to
perform the duties required Of them, and
the Chief asks, "What is to be done with
the eity's yornout employes"
The ordinance authorizing the purchase
of lots for fire department purposes in the
Tbirty-second and Thirty-ffth wards will
be considered, and will probably cause con-
siderable discussion, as Councils only a
month ago authorized the purchase Of lot
for the same purpose in the Thirty-frst, an
adjoining ward.
The ordinance presented by Mr.. Heating,
which designates the qualifications neces-
sary for all appointments to the police and
fire departments, viii also be considered.

sources of evil, we must look to the growing
enlightenment and liberalitY of the indivld-
ual property owner and householder. Many
localities in the Southside that still con-
tinue as time flows on, to keep up high
running death rate, would have that ratio OF
mortality reduced to small extent, ifprop-
erty owners would catch the public spirit;
tear down the old rookeries, and build In
their stead, new structures with sanitary
improvements for rent to our hard-worklng
mill hands. As these old structures stand
fit emblems of pinching poverty and de-
cay-they admirably fulfill the purpose OF
their prolonged existence, as epidemic storm
centers for the diffusion of gratuitous disease
germs.
"From this somewhat hasty and dark lined
sketch it must not be inferred that the
spirit of improvement is not busy among us.
The progress of our people in all that per-
tains to sanitary observances, is all the
greater if it is individual rather than cor
porate"

WIttmer Pays the Costs in One Suit to Find
Another Against Him.
John Wittmer, of Allegheny, was given d
hearing before Deputy Mayor McKelvy on
a charge of disorderly conduct, and fined $40
and costs. Immediately after the hearing
his aunt, Mrs. Wittmer, made information
against him, charging him with surety of
the peace, he having threatened to kill her.
On this latter charge he was held in $500 bail
for court, and his uncle, husband of the
prosecutrix, went on his bond.
A chum of young Wittmer's, named
Murphy, insulted Mrs. Wittmer, and her
sons assaulted him. Yesterday morning
Murphy made information against them at
the Mayors Office. The whole thing is bad
ly mixed, and old Mr.. Wittmer says it is the
outcome Of conspiracy to get his money.
This the family deny, and say that they
merely want him to behave himself.

A MEDICAL STUDENTS WORK.
The Head of the Murdered Man Taken TO
Scientific Purposes.

Scientific Purposes.
BEAVER FALLS, November Sat last
Detective Lazarus, who has been hunting
up evidence in the case of the man William
Spencer, who was SO mysteriously muir
dered in this place some months
ago, has succeeded in getting the names
of the parties who cutthe head off the body
after it was buried. From what can be
learned now the head was cut off for dissec-
tion and not to prevent Identification of the
body, as was supposed.
1t was done BY young medical student,
who is at present in Cleveland, having left
the town when the body was taken up by
the police. Lazarus refuses to give the
name. 1t is probable he will not be ar
rested, as 1t was done for purely scientific
purposes and not to shield murderer,

Oliver, aged 10, met most terrible death

under the electric cars at night, when they
stopped running, and with cloth
and brush clean the wheels, machin-
ery, etc. Ignorant of the fact
that the current was turned on. he touched
live wire connecting with the battery, and
a loud cry for help called the workmen to
him. Blue smoke was already issuing
from his hands, and he was suffering the
most excruciating pain.
The current was shut off at once, but too
late. The deadly fluid had done its work,
and the boy expired in the greatest agonY,
after having been removed 70 bis home.
