THE PLANS RECEIVED.
Work on the Miners Cottage Hospitals
Will be Begun This Summer.
EVERYBODY TO Be TREATED FREE.
The Coal Men Are Pleased With the Prog
reSs of the Work.
A DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS

The plans and specifications of the four
cottage hospitals to be erected for the care
and maintenance of coal miners in the BIZ
luminous and semi-bituminous Pennsylya-
mia regions by the State, were received in
this city yesterday by Commissioner S. II.
French, and are now on exhibition at his
Office on Fourth avenue. They were made
in the Office of james II. Windrim, of Phil
adelphia, who has since been appointed
Supervising Architect of the Government
at Washington.
Proposals will be received from Pittsburg
contractors for the work, and the commits
sion will meet June IL in Philadelphia, to
award the contract. The plans show that
the hospitals will be 144 feet long and will
be built of brick, stone and wood. They
will be but one story in height, with the
exception of the center, where there will be
an upper story, Sc feet long, for the accom-
pOdation of the attendants and manager of
the hospital.
PRETTY AND CONVENIENT.
A high, low and wide porch will encircle
the whole building. At the entrance to the
building will be the Office and operating
room, with long corridor between them.
Upon each side OF the corridor will be the
sick wards On the sides of the wards will
be windows looking out upon the grounds.
As many windows as possible will be put
in, thus afording sufficient ventilation. A
large dining room will also be in the rear of
the building. The hospitals will cost about
S13, 900 each, exclusive of the furniture.
On account of there being SO MANY hos.
pitals in this city, which are largely sup
ported by the State, it was deemed unneces-
sorry to locate one of the cottages in Pitts
burg or Allegheny. The nearest one to this
city will be at
MERCER OR coNNELLSvILLE.
The hospitals are not strictly intended for
the use of men injured in the mines, but
any other accidental cases will be taken in
and treated free of charge. The staff physi-
clans will be made up Of the local doctors in
the different localities. Many have already
volunteered the use of their services gratis.
Each hospital will have a mortuary
chapel attached to it, where dead bodies may
be placed, to await disposition by friends.
John Flannery, ex-Secretary Of the old
Coal Miners Association, said yesterday,
''The miners of Western Pennsylvania are |
very much pleased at the prompt manner |
in which the commission is doing |
its work, and they are satisfied with !
the different locations. It is un- |
derstood among them, that the hospitals |
will be but auxilliaries to the other large |
institutions throughout the State. If poor
man is injured now it will not be necessary to
transport him several hundred miles to a
place where he will be treated"

NOT ENOUGH TICKETS.
Allegheny County Wants More Ballots 4
the 18th of Juue

Allegheny County Wants More Ballots for
the 18th of June.
In the County Commissioners Office it
was reported yesterday that the election
tickets were ready to be sent out; that is, the
number they had on hand. The commits
sioners received 1zo, 900 tickets from Harris
burg, but this was not near enough, and
they had to write for 160, 900 more.
The Harrisburg authorities estimated
the voting population of Allegheny county
to be so, 600, whereas the register shows it to
be los, 900. The calculation on the number
of tickets is made on the basis of 1K
tickets for each voter on both the Con-
stitutonal amendment and suffrage amend
ment. It is expected that the tickets will.
be distributed next week,

Looking for leak is familiar employ.

ceived an assignment to such work in it'
literal meaning. 1t was to go hunting fol
those alleged leaks in the Heron Hill
reservoir. incidentally he was also in.
structed to explore the abandoned coal
mines in Mnersville. The reservoir leaks
and the subterranean lakes of those mines
have been publicly blamed during the past
week for producing the big volume Of water
that is con stantly swelling the great pond
at Center avenue and Soho street.
A tramp around the Heron Hill reser-
voir and careful inspection of the ground
developed beyond any doubt whatever the
fact that it is leaking, and Mr.. John W.
McGimpsey. the watchman, who has only
been off duty one day in seven years, states
that it has leaked ever since he went on
watch.

A~EW3XA verein is one of the old

Nm IN prosperous condition

Turnverein was or
ganized in February, 1858 and was incorpor-
ated in April, 1882 During The three de.
cades of its existance 1t has been source of
much benefit to to the young men OF the city
who have recognized the importance of such
a school for physical training. Its advanta-
ges and conveniences are as fully apprecia-
ted today as they We're away back in the six
ties. The Turnverein now numbers 275
members. The rooms Of the organization on
Congress street are well adapted for the pur-
pose for which they are used. Constant ad-
ditions.haye been made to the apparatus used
to develop the different muscles of the body
and more still will be made in the near flu
ture. in fact the members intend to have
one of the best club rooms in the State as
we'll as gymnasium furnished with the lat
est and best apparatus for the athletic ex-
ercise of the body. They will make extern
sive repairs and improvements in the gym
nasium and club rooms the present month.
Mr.. A. w. Lowell is in Boston to purchase
several new pieces Of furniture for the gym
nasium. Paraphernalia to be used under
the recently adopted system of measure
ments will be purchased, also new machine
for the development of the musclee of the
waist knotted rope for climbing. a swing
ing pole for climbing, a pair of oblique par
allel bars, new supply of Indian clubs and
wands, and new mat of large dimensions
to render 1t more safe to exercise upon the
horizontal bars and rings. So much for the
new things for the gymnasium. All the old
apparatus will be cleaned and put in the bes.
| possible condition. The club room will be
newly carpeted, the walls and ceiling hand.
| somely frescoed and deep, artistic frieze
| added. When all this is done new furniture
| will be put in. The dressing rooms and bath
rooms are to be renovated and made better
| than ever. Additional electric lights have
already been put in. The wood work will
be cleaned and newly vanished and when
all is done the Portland Turnverein will
have better rooms than ever before.
AT the next regular meeting the question
of closing the rooms on Sundays is to be con.
sidered and other business acted upon. The
young athletes who have given many public
exhibitions of a high order of excellence
will have pleasanter and better equipped
gymnasium in which to train for future per.
formances which no doubt will excel all pas:
efforts. The improvements which are at
dice to be begun, are needed and when COM
pleted win be fully appreciated.
