NOT A HOMICIDE.


Charies Monroe Shoots Belle Jones, n
Former Lover, In the Back-The Girl il
Not Dangerously Hurt.
Belle Jones, temporary resident of the
yellow Row, on Second avenue. was shot
yesterday afternoon, about o'clock. by
Charles H. Monroe, one of her former lovers.
Both persons are colored. Monroe was ar
rested Immediately after the shooting bv Officer
Shaul, and taken to the Central station. He
made no resistance. and did not seem to care
whether he had killed the girl or not. She was
taken to the Homeopathic Hospital.
Monroe talked to Inspector McAleese after
his arrest. He said he had fred three shots at
the girl, but did not know how many had taken
effect. His story of the trouble was that Belle
Jones had come to this city from Cleveland
about two weeks ago. Monroe at that time was
living with a woman named Alice Palmer,
keeping house on Poplar alley. When Belle
Jones came she was taken in charge by Will

into Monroe's favor. and caused trouble be-
tween Monroe and Alice Palmer. About a

Palmer thrown out into the street. Heforesaw
trouble, and thought the best way out OF 1t
was to give the Cleveland girl money enough
did the next day, and supposed she had gone,
until yesterday he was told that she was still in
town. and living at the house OF Madame
Brown, in the Yellow Row. Upon going there
he met the girl on the sidewalk IN front of the
house. He asked her why she had not gone
back to Cleveland as she had agreed, and he
says she gave him very exasperating reply.
He drew a 2caliber revolver and she turned
and ran, he following and firing three shots at
her retreatlng figure as she turned into an al
ley where she fell. The shots took effect in
her back
Monroe is a dudish appearing young fellow,
and when arrested wore high silk hat and fine
clothes. He is 20 years of age, and has been
employed as a waiter at a wellknown boarding
house in Allegheny.
When the woman was examined at the
Homeopathic Hospital it was found that each
of the bullets had struck her, one on the left
shoulder one on the back between her shoul-
ders, and the other just above the waist, near
the middle of the back. Not one of them had
penetrated the skin. and her only injury is a
slight soreness caused by the force of the bull
lets, two of which were found inside her cor
set. The girl is an octoroon, and about 20
years of age.
Monroe is still in Central station and will
have hearing to-day.
Belle Jones was not hurt very badly. Late
last night she was resting without any pain,
and she expects to be out Of the hospital to-day.

HIS LATEST REFORM.

Mr.. Ford is Determined His Men Shall
Have No Privileges.
A number of the Western roads extend
courtesies to the passenger agents of other
lines. This year they followed their usual
custom.
General Passenger Agent E. A. Ford, of the
PENNSYLVANIA Company, the chronic reformer
and watch dog of the company's treasury. with
characteristic vigor in such matters. has de-
termined to break up the practice. Not long
ago he sent out a circular to his sub-agents,
ordering them to send to him any such passes
received and to report the names of the rail-
roads issuing them. The agents, of course, had
to obey.
1t is well known among railroad men that
there is not a man in the business who likes to
travel better than Mr.. Ford He is accused of
taking a number of useless trips, and not long
ago he found it necessary to go to San Fran
cisco to appoint sub-agent there.

Our proposition was rejected, and all shops
should have closed on Monday, but they didn't.
My men were not given employment because
thought the other members of the organiza-

called, is therefore ended. and the same wages
as were paid last year, 3S15 cents per hour for
nine hours work, and full pay for eight hours
work on Saturday, will be continued.

Against Bill to Impose Anti. Eire-D Damp
Machines ON Them.
A meeting of the Sawmill Run district coal
miners was held in the public hall, Banks
vile, on Tuesday, for the discussion OF the
bill known as No. 242 in the Legislature
Hugh Leonard presided and George Bell
acted as secretary. After full discussion the
following was UNANIMOUSLY adopted:

passage Of said bill, for the reason that no 6enent

passage of the bill; and Ii certainly is too auda-

miners under the thin but spe ec.ous guise of aid
the Legislature to do all they can to prevent its
passage.

Young AlIeghenlans Lay Out Rare Trip of
Adventure-Down the River, Armed to
Teeth and Toes.
An exceedingly novel touring party will
start out from Allegheny in about two
weeks. 1t will consist of some half dozen
enterprising young Alleghenians, whose
objective point is the Oklahoma reservation
in Indian Territory. The leader is William
Winn, Jr., son of the Allegheny City Hall cleo
trician. Although hardly of age, the young
man has had more than an ordinary share of
adventure, having spent great portion of his
life in the West and on the Mississippi Henry
Crane, Charles Harman, Sam Farley and
panions.
The party intends to go in a very peculiar
and bold manner. namely in large open boat
with a canvas canoe as tender, from here to
Cairo at the confluence of the Ohio with the
Father of the Waters" camping out on the
way down for the sake of the excitement of
such course. According to their calculations
they will arrive at Cairo near the end of May
They will then either tramp the remaining 400
miles to Oklahoma or continue down the river
to Memphis and start out from there
If they like the surroundings they will prob
ably attempt to settle on the ground, expecting
to arrive about the beginning of July.
The entire party will go well armed with
Winchester rifles, revolvers and hunting knives
and will be equipped thoroughly otherwise as
they may winter on the plains, subsisting on
the products of the chase as far as possible.

One of the citizens of the ward, who lives on

and during the time the meetings are going on

SCALPERs TO BE FOILED.

Hereafter the Roads Will Pay a Rebate on
1,OOO-MiIe Tickets.
Very little scalping has been done in
Pittsburg during the past year. The only
ticket the scalpers can make anything
on under present regulations is the l,0Oo-mile
tickets.
The drummers who buy these tickets fire.
quently place them in the hands of scalpers
when they become hard up. To prevent this
evil the railroads have decided that after the
present supply of 1000-mile tickets is used up
they will sell them for $50 instead of $40. The
name Of the purchaser is recorded, and when
the ticket has run out he can secure a rebate
of SO by presenting the cover of the book to
any passenger agent This rule, it is thought
will prevent the festive buyers of 1.000mile
tickets from placing them in the hands of the
scalpers. When $40 ticket is bought, a pho
tograph of the buyer will be required for pur-
poses Of Identification.

AN ODD OUTING FOR IRON,
The Central Traction Spends sS3,O0O of Its
$4,000 for Castings Elsewhere,

Tne central Traction spends SSS,OOO OF Its
$4,000 for Castings Elsewhere.
Some people feel that this thing of vast
contracts for iron work leaving this city is
as bad as seething kid in its mothers milk;
but there is one thing tolerably we'll demon
strated and that is that local pride will rarely
be found strong enough to extract money from
the pocket in favor of home industry. The last
contract to go abroad is that for castings for
the coke ovens of the great Hostetter plant.
The price is just cent pound. The castings
for the Central Traction Railway cost S29 so per
ton, and this was thought to be very low; con-
siderably lower than they could be had here,
but here is case where the price is still 80 per
cent lower.
In this connection it may be apropos to state
Central Traction Railways plant. $4,000 is
placed away from this city. Comment is su-
perhuous.

Whites Down There.
Mr.. b. P. Dilworth has been spending
some time among the North Carolina tar
heels, and has come home with mixed impres.
sions. He has been studying the stern pride of
the impoverished people of certain sections of
that State. He says they are just as naughty
as though they could sway the rod of empire,
though they may be SO poor that they can make
no pretense to even comfort in life
He says he never saw the iufiexible, ruling,
masterful spirit of the Anglo-Saxon so devel.
oped in any other part of this country. Though
they may tolerate Northern man, and use
him. IL he have money they take no pains to
conceal from him that, socially. they feel them
selves superior.
As to their attitude regarding the African in
their midst, Mr.. Dilworth thinks the negro
would fare much the same in contact with
Northern whites, were the situation the same.
