Five Unfortunate People Who Have Failed
to Find Life Worth Living-Oue Case
That IL Particularly Sad
There are five inmates of the county Jail who
will be sent to Dixmont to-day at the citv's
expense. August Weber, who was picked up
on the streets of the East End a few days
ago and who had escaped from Dixmont will
be returned. Thomas Harrington, young
man % years of age, has developed the past
few days into an imbecile. His home is on
Fifty-frst street, and he was sent to Jail at the
instance of his friends by Alderman Porter.
Andrew Meyers is 81 years of age. and was ar
rested on Tuesday night for stealing from a
stand in the market, and sent to Jail by Magis-
trate GrIpp. He was at one time a policeman
of this city, and is by occupation a shoemaker.
1t Is said he went crazy from the loss of fine
set of shoemaker's tools, which were lost while
being sent from here to Cleveland. His home
is in the West End.
Christina Hornberger, the young woman who
believes she is under the influence of mesmer-
ism applied, as she thinks, by a man named
times, will be sent to the asylum on an order of
court, which limits her incarceration there for
one year. She was sentenced by the Court last
Saturday, but was given until yesterday to get
bail for her good behavior. AS she could not
get it the sentence of the court was enforced.
Perhaps the saddest case of them all is the
one of Carrie Harrington, a T-year-old pirl
who has become insane from grief. She has
been in the employ OF Mr.. John Aiken, of
Shadyside, and it Is said her father, Thomas
Harrington, is now at the workhouse, where
she went to see him a week ago. Her inter-
view with him prostrated her, it is said, and on
Tuesday she developed insanity and had to be
sent to jail, and will be taken to Dixmont for

The Botanical Society Takes the Initial
Step Toward the Combine.
The Botanical Society of Western Pennsyl-
vania met last night at its ROBINS in Library
hall, the meeting being called to order by
President Hamilton with about 20 members
present.
After the ordinary routine had been gone
through. Mr.. C. C. Mellor presented the So
ciety with large collection Of botanical
works which he had received from various
sources. He was followed by DR.. A ZiegIer,
Of Allegheny, who presented the society with
a catalogue, compiled by himself, Of the fora
which occurs within the limits Of Allegheny
county. The book drew admiring remarks
from all present on account of the great
amount OF work expended thereon. 1t was ac-
companled by an interesting collection Of
plants from the New Hampshire hills.
a strange object was next presented to the
society IN the shape of large heart-shaped
nut about foot in diameter. 1t is the prop
erty OF James Mcneil, of Pittsburg. and is
classlned as the COCO de mer and as few speci-
mems Of its kind exist, it is very highly priced.
Inc following persons were elected to mem
PPe[hsnlp; PhsI Rev. H. r Johnston, G: ]. Clarke,
Jonn Marion, Esq, Rev. w. J. Holland,
Inomas N. Armstrong, Charles Davis, @. E.,
James Patton and Miss Nancy Girard. The
following resolution was next presented by Mr..
Y. =. Mellor and was adopted:
In order to make an initiatory move toward

this vicinity for their common interest. and to
aid the formation of new societies and ulti,

AN OLD SOLDIERS DEATH.
A Cousin of ]. Mcdonald Crossan Dies
Destitute circumstances.

A Cousin of ]. Mcdonald Crossan Dies in
Destitute circumstances.
Allison Whitstone, an old soldier, died
at the Homeopathic hospital last night
with not friend near his bedside, to soothe
his dying moments. He was taken from q
cheap lodging house on Water street, about 8
o'clock yesterday afternoon. At the Central
station DR.. Meyer examined him and ordered
him taken to the hospital. Upon his arrival
he could not be rallied, and died at the hour
stated.
The hospital physician would not venture an
opinion as to the cause of death. The remains
were taken in charge by the Coroner, who will
investigate the case this morning.
The deceased was IS years of age, though he
looked so, and was a cousin of the late John
Mcdonald Crossan, for many years proprietor
of the Monongahela House. He was native
of Chambersburg, Pa, from which place he
enlisted in the Second Infantry when the war
broke out. He was wounded in "The Wilder
ness" and received an injury from which he
never fully recovered. He came to this city
after the war and for several years acted as
book-keeper for Oliver McClIntock Co. Sub
sequently he began to dissipate and lost his
standing and finally became a peddler of sill
verware polish, from which he made living
for the past ten years.
He boarded for many years with Mrs. Adam
Virgins, now living on Duquesne way She
said that "old JEFF" was often advised by his
friends to apply for pension, but he always
refused.
A wound in his side has always troubled him,
and it is supposed had something to do with
his death. His last illness was of short dura-
tion for he was out on the street, apparently
well, on Tuesday.

THE GERMANIA BANK
On the Southside IL Now a Substantial Fact
Anew Bank Building Will Likely be
Erected for the Purpose.

Erected for the Purpose.
The new organization of the Southside
bank has almost been entirely completed.
The committee for establishing that insfitu-
tion held a meeting yesterday, and the en-
tire capital stock of the new concern has al
ready been subscribed.
The bank will be known as the Germania
National Bank, and its capital stock will be
100000 Application for charter will be made
before the United States Controller to-day and
it is expected that all formalities incidental to
the establishment of the bank will be settled
so as to have the new concern open for busi-
ness on June l.
The following is a complete list of the stock
holders:
H. Sellers McKee, glass manufacturer; George
and George Easton, of the Adams window Glass
Manufactory; 1. Frank, E. Hogan. VIM. Doyle,
all glass manufactGrers; q. c. Gearing, lumber Ssi
dealer; George b. Hill, stockbroker; ID. q. Cum
Jonesg Of one ana q
grocer; John Freund, drygoods merchant: Fisher,
Of the Fisher Foundry and Machine Company; G:
estate man; b. q. BricKei, glass manufacturer;
". Wigma1, lumber dealer; James Campbell,
citation; Mr.. King, of King &'Son, glass manu-
facturers; l. Frank, of Lewis Foundry and Ma
chine Company.
OF these gentlemen, Messrs. Mckee and
Cunningham are the largest stockholders hold
ing $4,000 between them. Since THE DIS
PATCH published the first news about the es-
tablishment of the new bank. a hitch has oc-
CURED in the negotiations of purchasing the
old bank building. and it is probable that the
bank will not be located in that building at all.
1t was stated by one of the stockholders last
night that Mr.. Meyers is asking too much for
the building, and inasmuch as an offer has
been made to the stockholders committee of a
cheaper building in the immediate neighbor-
hood of South Eighteenth street, it is probable
that this latter offer will be accepted and an
entirely new bank building will be erected.
This structure is to be built after the model
of the Farmers Deposit Bank on Fourth ave-
nue.. The building will contain nothing else
but accommodations for the bank purposes.

HE COULD READ WRITING.

Romance of an Indian Squaw-A Tax Col
lector Feels Insulfed.
The typewriter is still as much of mys-
terry to some people in way-back counties as
was the photographing apparatus to the
Indian chief who came to gallery to get a
picture made of his squaw, and peeping through
from the operating end, saw her, as he sup
posed, standing on her head. But though many
of the stories told are doubtless fabricated,
here is one vouched for by railway official:
A tax collector in Dunham township, Fayette
county, tried to collect from the local agent
some taxes owing by the Pittsburg, Nc
Keesport and Youghiogheny Railway Com
pany. The agent told the collector that he
must move on the company's works in this
city, and soon the officials got dun from him.
An ornate and elaborate reply written on a
typewriter was returned. The next heard
from the collector was bitter complaint made
to coke operator of the insult offered. Said
he, the collector:
Il suppose those people think because I've
been raised in the woods that can't read
writing, and they have gone and got letter
printed and sent it to me. suppose can read
writing as well as most Of the people in that Of
fice."
The irate man modified his opinion of the
company when it was proven that such printed
letters were sent to classical and scientific
scholars without causing offense.

HORSE POWER STREET SWEEPERS.

The Avenues of This CITY Will Now be Kept
Clean From Dirt.
One of the items in the contracts to be let
by the city next week for the Department
of Public Works will be an outfit of horse
power street sweepers, such as are now in
use in most of the other large cities. They are
to be used on all the streets in the lower Dor
tion of the city, as well as the streets paved
with asphaltum in the Oakland and East End
districts.
The traction railway companies will also put
on both street sweepers and sprlnklers, and in
tend to keep the streets traversed by their
lines clean. All the streets now unpaved in
the East End and Oakland districts are to be
paved this year with blackstone or asphalt in
cluding Center avenue, from Soho street to
Hiland avenue; Aiken avenue, Forbes street,
from the Court House to Soho; Fifth avenue
from the Oakland power house to Penn avenue;
Penn avenue, from Fifth to the city line, and a
large number of other streets in that section.

SOMEHEAVYOUTLAYS
What the Different Roads Here Intend
Doing This Spring.
SEVEN NEW BRIDGES ON THE B. 90.
The Virginia and Charleston and Lake Erie
Double Tracks.
THE MASTER CAR BUILDERS MEETING

There will be very few improvements
made upon the railroads running out of this
city this spring. The directors of the
various companies think the business done
next summer will not be as good as last
year, and in consequence of the probable
decreased earnings, they do not care to in
crease the expenses any more than is neces-
sary.
The Baltimore and Ohio Company are
about to begin their annual spring repairs
and new construction. They have large
force of men working on the Wheeling di-
vision, between Washington and Wheeling.
Outside of repairing the great damage done
by the floods in July and August nothing will
be done. This work alone wall take all sum-
mer, to put the road in the same condition it
was prior to the destruction,
BIG BRIDGES TO BE BUILT.
Seven new bridges will be built between
Point Mills andsElm Grove stations. These will
be made of stone and iron, and will be about
the strongest railroad bridges in the State.
They will have spans ranging from 50 to l57
feet, and all the masonry work will be made for
double track road. The iron for the bridges
will be made in the East. An official OF the
road said yesterday:
OutSlQe OF what we VIII DO around the new
station here, and the general repair of our road
bed on the Wheeling division. we will not have
time to do anything else. 1t will be impossible
to tell what the cost of the improvement on the
Wheeling division will be, but it will foot up
into hundreds of thousands of dollars. We in
tend to put that branch of the road in better
shape than it was before, and after that will
make some improvements on other parts OF the
road"
WORKING ALL ALONG THE LINE.
The Pittsburg and Lake Erie people have
large forces OF men all along their lines. The
old sidings in the neighborhood of Beaver Falls
are being lined up and surfaced and connected
together. New sidings are being put in at
different points, and after they have been COM
pleted the road will virtually be double-track
line between this city and Youngstown. The
straight double track from this city now ex-
tends away beyond CHARTERS. Considerable
improvement is also contemplated on the
"Pemicky" road.
The Pennsylvania Company will not do any
thing until after the directors meeting, when
roads are not doing anything out of the
ordinary
Yesterday about 200 men were put to work
clearing away the debris and fixing up the
Charleston road between Fourth street and
Beck's run.
AN OFFICIAL INSPECTION.
President Roberts, with the other officials of
the company, will take trip over the road on
their annual spring inspection tour next week,
and the track will be put in irst-class condition
for the trip.
For years the road has been using but one
track upon which they would run trains. The
unload cars This. was a great accommodation,
as it enabled them to load cars almost right at
their doors.
The growing business of the company has
