Attorney Cotton ON Hand. bar Jeanette
PInintiHs Do Not Show Up.
Attorney Cotton, representing President
James Campbell, Of the Window Glass
workers Association, put in all of yester-
day afternoon lettering about the office of
United States District Attorney Lyon, to
ascertain what was to be done with the case
of his client, who is charged with viola
ton of the contract labor laws by importing
foreign glassblowers into this country. 1t
had been stated that the new District At
forney would take the matter up and ascer-
tain If there was enough ground In the
charges to warrant o suit being entered.
Nothing was done about the matter, how
ever, and none of the interested persons
would give any idea when there would be.
District Attorney Lyon arrived home
from Erie about noon, and to DISPATCH
reporter said: 81 did not understand that
there was to have been q hearing in the
matter. My connection with the case is to
examine what evidence the plaintiffs have,
and if think it is sufficient, will notify
the Department Of the Interior, when suit
will be entered against Mr.. Campbell.
think there has been more published than
is really in the case"
Attorney Bremen, who is pushing the
case, said he was waiting for the District
Attorney to take the matter up. He had
no notice about hearing or statement, and
had done nothing during the day about the
m after. Attorney Cotton said he had re-
ceived no official notice, but came around
ANYHOW to see what would be likely done.

STILL AFTER PURE WATER,
A Lively Debate in Allegheny Common
Council Last Evening.

Council Last Evening.
Allegheny Common Council held a
special meeting last night and started the
ball rolling again on the water question.
On the call of the wards, Mr.. Steffen, of the
Fifth ward, presented the following resolu-
ton:
Resolved, That the Water Committee be
authorized and is hereby instructed to order
the Controller to advertise for propositions for
furnishing supply of pure water to the city.
Mr.. Dahlinger-What does that mean?
Chairman Hunter-I expect Mr.. Steffen
can tell you.
Mr.. Steffen-I merely offered this to bring
up the question, so we can all talk 1t over
and find out what we want
Mr.. Dahlinger-It is too indefinite.
Mr.. Knox-That is the best resolution
that thas ever been offered here so far as I
know. 1t gives all bidders a chance to
come forward and tell us what they can do.
Mr.. Dahlinger-If the committee adver-
tises for pure water, they must submit plans
and specifications.
Mr.. Stefen-My idea is to let the bidders
furnish their own plans.
Mr.. Stayton-The resolution is good
thing. We have had so many propositions
to furnish the city with water, and there are
so very many systems This resolution is
intended to invite all to come and name
their prices.
Mr.. Dahlinger-Ifw we pass this resolution
will it include advertising for the extension
of the water mains up the river or any other
outlay of money that may be necessary to
carry out the plan adopted?
Mr.. Stayton-It includes the whole ques-
tion in all its phases.
The resolution was unanimously adopted.
The meeting had been called to dispose of
unfinished business from the Select branch,
and all the ordinances went through with
out debate. The ordinance authorizing the
opening and widening of California avenue
went through without dissenting vote.

REGARDLESS OF A VETO.

Passage L. the Action Council Expects 70
Take on Diamond Streets Ordinance
Injunction Threatened.
Late yesterday afternoon q DISPATCH re-
porter interrogated Mayor McCallin In re-
gard TO what he intended to do about the
Diamond street ordinance. 1t is foregone
conclusion among the attaches of Municipal
Hall that the Mayor will veto the bill, and
it is also generally conceded that the
Councilmanic body win pass it over his
head. In reply to the reporters inquiry,
the Mayor said:
'I have been bothered almost to death
about that ordinance, and as yet cannot say
what will do about it The statement that
I have signed it is not true, as the paper is
lying in my desk now without any signature
attached to it. will have the bill ready
for the special meeting of Councils to-mor-
row, when you will know all about il"
"Then you will have it signed, and all
ready for the members of Council to peruse
tomorrow" queried the reporter.
"No, 1 did not say that I would sign the
bill. Whether will or not will not be
known until the meeting"
do you know who called the special
meeting for tomorrow? Is it for the sole
purpose of receiving the ordinance after it
leaves your hands?"
II not know whether or not this is the ex-
press purpose of the meeting"
President Holiday was also seen, and
asked if the meeting was called to consider
the ordinance. He said:
"The bill will come up, of course, but this
is not the sole reason why called the meet
ing. During the summer it is necessary to
hold special meetings in order to fix up
business that is left over. There are about rs
street ordinances which we will have to dis
pose of now, or they will have to lie over
until next winter. The Mayors limit of
time for action upon the bill has expired,
and, If he does not sign it by tomorrow, it
will become law anyhow. 1t is thought
generally that he will veto it.
City Clerk George Sheppard also stated
that he thought the bill will be vetoed.
! j-Iohn n. Hampton. Esq, the we'll known
attorney, says that. in the event of the bill
becoming law, he will ask the Court to
grant him an injunction, restraining the city
officials from widening the street. If the
bill be passed, the matter will go before the
Board of Viewers to assess damages.

THEY MAY RECONSIDER.
Much Gossip About the Board of Awards
squabble-The Forbes Street Contract
Explained by Chief Bigelow.

Much Gossip About the Board of Awards
squabbie-Thc Forbes Street Contract
Explained by Chief Biselow.
There was much gossip yesterday about
that squabble in the Board of Awards over
the Forbes street paving contract. Public
opinion seemed to be pretty strong in favor
of the stand taken by Chief Bigelow in the
matter, because he is supposed to have su-
pervision of matters in his own department,
and to be better posted about them than
other persons. In the next place he was
in favor of the lowest bidder for
making the pavement, and no one
at the meeting seemed prepared to
assign a valid reason for Chief Browns vote
against making the award. Chief Brown
had been reported in the morning papers as
being opposed, to making the award Mr..
Bigelow proposed, because only No. as
phalt had been asked for in the advertise
ments, and the Warren-Scharfe Company
alone could furnish that.
When Chief Bigelow was asked about
this yesterday afternoon, he smiled calmly
as usual, and said there was absolutely
nothing in it. He added that il
Chief Brown would take the trouble
to read the advertisement he
would find that it asked for
bids on both Nos. and asphalt. the only
two varieties of the material extant. The
Warren-Scharfe Company have control of
No. 1 asphalt, and Booth & Finn control
No. 2. Mr.. Bigelow says they came into
competition for this contract, and the War
ren-Scharfe Company's bid being II cents
lower they were, of course, clearly entitled
to the contract, both from business and a
legal point of view. MIR. Bigelow also
stated that both bidders represent monopo-
lies, the Warren-Scharfe Company paying
5000. 900 per year to the Spanish Govern
ment for special substance used in the
asphalt, and Booth & Finn having arrange
ments practically as exclusive in respect to
No. 2 asphalt.
Mr.. Bigelow says positively that he under
stands the position he occupied, and he feels
that the public understands it, too. He is
anxious to see work commenced on these
street improvements, but he only wants to
see it done under proper awards.
Chief Brown was not accessible to the
reporter. As there is strong pressure in
this Forbes street improvement, the sup
porters of Mr.. Bigelow expect that the
other Chiefs will reconsider their votes, if
the matter is not taken up by Councils to-

REGISTER CONNOR ARRESTED.
A Colored Oakland Policeman Takes Him
for n Horse Thief.

A Colored Oakland Policeman Takes Him
for n Horse Thief.
County Register Samuel P.Connor was
placed in the unenviable position early on
Thursday.morning of being arrested as a
horse thief. On Thursday night Robert
Barcley hired horse and buggy at O'Reil-
ly's stable, on Fulton street. Mr.. Bafckley
placed case of beer in the buggy and then
drove down town. He stopped at e Grant
street saloon, and while in there someone
jumped into the buggy and drove of. The
police were at once notified.
About 1880 Register Connor was driving
to his home in the East End, and at the
corner of Forbes street and Oakland
avenue a colored officer named Mclaughlin,
who noticed striking similarity in the
horse being driven by the Register and the
horse reported stolen, stopped Mr.. Connor
and questioned him.
The County Register, who was somewhat
angry at being questioned on such matter,
refused to give any satisfactory explanation,
and was taken to the Fourteenth ward
patrol stables After some trouble his
identity was satisfactorily explained, and he
was allowed to go. Later in the night the
police in the downtown district succeeded
in capturing the purloiner of the rig.

SHE LEFT THE CONVENT.
Eva Deer, Who Was Arrested for Stealing
Clothes, Tells n Sad story-Her Mind IL
Afected-Inspector Nc Aleese Interested.

Eva Deer, who Was Arrested for Stealing
Clothes, Tells Sad story-Her Mind ID
Anected-Inspector Nc Aleese Interested.
Inspector McAleese has been investigat-
ing the case of Eva Deer, the young girl
who was arrested on the charge Of stealing
lot of clothing from the house Of Mrs.
Godfrey, No. 134 Wylie avenue, and he has
decided to appeal to Mrs. Godfrey to with
draw the charge. The girl tells rather
strange story, and McAleese thinks she is
not in her right mind.
The girl is the daughter of q farmer living
near Sallneville, o. On the 17th of June
she left homie to 60 to Catholic convent at
Crestline, O., having in her pocket about
$12 which she realized from the sale of some
farm products.
On her arrival at Crestline she walked up
to the convent, but says the sight of the bar
rem stone walls and grim appearance Of the
building reminded her so much of prison
that her resolve to become nun lett her
and she decided not to enter. Instead, she
walked into the church and had short con-
versation with priest and then started out
to the country. She says she disliked to
return home, and decided to remain away
for at least month. With this determine
tion she remained for awhile in the vicinity
of Crestline, sleeping in barns, haystacks
and on the porches of farmhouses, until she
made up her mind to come to Pittsburg,
where she had cousin named John Martin.
He lived on Park venue. East End, and
she expected to spend a week or two before
going back to her parents. She arrived
here on the 8th Of July, but found her
cousin had removed to Scranton few
months ago. Then she resolved TO get work
somewhere for awhile, and with this end in
view went to Mrs. Godfrey's place.
One thing revealed by the girls letters is
that she has been suffering from babyhood
with brain trouble, caused by fall when
she was Is months old. She wrote a letter
to her mother yesterday. Inspector Nc
Aleese read it. The letter was couched in
most affectionate terms, telling her mother
that she was in Pittsburg, why she had left
the convent, and promising to come home
at the earliest possible moment. No allu-
sion was made to her present trouble. The
girl is pretty well educated in many re-
spects; her penmanship is splendid. She
shows in every action that she is innocent of
vice. She is suffering from heavy cold,
which she says she contracted while sleep
ing out at night at Crestline, and her ap-
pearance indicates that her health is very
delicate.
The inspector telegraphed to the Mother
Superior at the convent at Crestline last
night, but learned that she was out of the
city, and no one likely to know anything
about the case was in the convent.

the case.
