WATCH THAT WENT.
How the Exposition and the City Lost Al

How the Exposition and the City Lost al
Least S14 so Yesterday.
Alexander Wilson arrived in Pittsburg
yesterday afternoon from Geauga station on
the Southwest branch, probably to see the
Exposition and other lions and tigers Of the
city. Realizing that his outfit was incom-
plete without watch. he strolled into a
place where jewelry is sold near Twelfth
and Liberty streets and invested $14 30 in a
timepiece. Wishing to appreciate the full
joy of possession, he took it out to view a
number of times on his road to Eleventh
and Penn, where he met gruff stranger,
who said: ''Lemme look at that watch"
The tone of authority in which the
stranger spoke gave Wilson tremor, and
he handed cut the watch, which the author
itative stranger quietly detached from the
chain and put in his pocket.
"Gimme back that watch" said Mr.. Will
son, finding that he had made mistake.
"Shut up" said the bulldozing stranger,
"or I'll swat you in the jaw, and he walked
away.
Mr.. Wilson complained to the police, and
wended his way back to the Union station,
where he took the next train for Union
town, and the Exposition is certainly s14 80
out, If not less.
A few hours after Officer John Moran ar
rested man named John Keefe near the
depot on a charge of suspicion, and a stray
watch was found in his possession when
taken to the Central station, so that Mr..
Wilson can regain the investment by prov
ing property. A gang of thieves and bunko-
lists is hard at work in the vicinity of Union
station, and although, as in this case, the
officers do good work, visitors to the city
should be cautious.

Her Willfuluess.
William Smith, the colored man who shot
his wife while asleep in their home on Full.
ton street and then attempted suicide, yes
terday acknowledged to reporter that he
had committed the crime. He said the bad
conduct of his wife drove him to the mur-
der. He had frequently demonstrated with
her about her course, but without effect, and
cautioned her against meeting another man
from whom he found letter in her posses
sion. She laughed at his remonstrances,
and insisted on keeping the appointment
asked for few days before the murder.
On the night of the shooting he said he
again talked to her about her proceedings,
but she told him to shut up as she wanted
to 60 to sleep and turned away. He then
shot her and tried to kill himself, but failed.
Smith is about 81 years of age, cook by
occupation and is generally we'll spoken Of
by his acquaintance. He is now suffering
from an attack of pneumonia as well as his
selfinficted wounds, but the physicians at
Mercy Hospital think he will no doubt re-

HOW 1T IS DONE.
The Junction Road nt Great Disadvan.
tage in Using Inclines-The Danger
E.nn, lncidnnts 4. fton.tnnf

The junction Road nt n Great Disadvan.
tage in Using Inciines-The Danger
From Accidents Is Constant.
The manner in which the Pittsburg juno
tion Railroad is obliged to ferry its cars on
the Allegheny always attracts considerable
attention from those who happen to be neal
the river. The details of the method of the
transferring are quite,nteresting. 1t is well
known that the Junction Railroad is unable
to send its cars from Thirty-third street to
Thirteenth street by rail, owing to the oppo.
sition of the Allegheny Valley road. which
controls the tracks for a considerable dis
tance along the river front.
To obviate this difficulty the Junction
has, one might say, built a railway on
water, and the cars are brought down to
Thirteenth street and returned again in
spite of the opposition of the Allegheny
Valley people. Two inclines have been
built at Thirty-sixth street and at Thirteenth
street respectively, and on these the tracks
have been laid. The upper one, which is
constructed in what is called Clark's Hole
in Clark's mill, has a slope of about 8
feet in distance of 100, while the grade on
the lower incline is about 4 feet in the same
distance. AS can be imagined, considerable
care must be taken in lowering cars down
this grade, or in taking them up, as acci-
dents are very liable to occur.
The cars are carried up and down the
river on barge 200 feet in length, 22H feet
in width, and about four feet in depth. 1t
is connected with the incline by means of o
movable table or apron, so placed on wheels
that.it can be run up and down the incline,
and adjusted to the stage of the water.
Six short cars, or five long ones, can be
carried at one trip. The large cars have a
capacity of so, 900 pounds, and they average
in weight 1900, so the burden carried by
one barge at one trip is often 1870, 900
pounds or 156 tons. The expense in trans
ferring cars by this method is nearly double
what it would be in carrying them by rail
for the same distance.
Very few accidents of any importance
have occurred since this method of operation
has been put into effect. There is, however,
always some danger. In taking the cars up
the incline two, or at the most three, are
handled at one time, and full steam is put
on to make the ascent In coming down the
grade every brake is locked on the cars and
the steam brake is utilized on the engine to
prevent disastrous descent. The towboat
Return, which was injured in the explosion,
has been entirely reftted and is doing the
hauling. In this way merchandise of all
kinds is carried for points in the heart of the
city, and the manufacturing establishments
of Zug, Mcintosh, Shoenberger and Brown
are also attended to. The disadvantages of
the system are, however. evident at glance.

1nclose it in plot of ground containing at
least ten acres.

It seems that at the picnic one of the safe
diversions to amuse the children was target
shooting. A man was instructing his son
how to hold the gun. The boy was pointing
it toward the target, and between their mon
keving it was discharged. Liebaugh was
standing behind the target, and the bullet
entered his head just above the eve.
No arrests were made at the time. The
