Railroad Etiquette.

A correspondent of Our Dumb Ami
mails tells the following good stories
of railroad etiquette:
We have just read an amusing story
Of nervous little man entering car
with parcel, around which was a
rubber strap. He began swapping the
strap to the great discomfort Of ali his
neighbors, regardless of the annoyance
they clearly manifested. The man in
the seat i'll front of him left the car.
Then he turned over the back and put
his feet on the seat and kept on snap
ping Presently big German on the
other side got UP, walked over, poked
the little man in the ribs with his
finger and said: Mammals little baby
shall have plaything It shall have
a little rattle and little doll. 7" The
passengers cheered, and the snapper
got out Of the car as quickly as be
could
This story reminds us of what we
saw on the Boston and Albany rail-
road some time since. The car was
full. Two dudes turned the back of
seat and sat facing each other, occu-
plying four seats. Two young ladies
came in. The dudes looked at each
other and laughed, intending to mako
the ladies take seats beside them. The
ladies, mortified and blushing, stood
in the aisle. In moment large, stern
looking man, weighing apparently 200
pounds Or moro, who was seated q
little ways back on the other side,
strobe across tho car, seized the dude
facing him by the collar, and sent him
like a rocket to the side of his compan-
ion. Then turning the back of the
front seat he bowed and said: Ladies,
there's seat for you. The cheering
OF the passengers was something worth
going ten miles to hear, and tho two
dudes were, for the rest of the trip, as
quiet couple as one would wish to
see

A well known New Yorker has had
an adventure which discounts by TO-.
900 the average conventional parrot
story He was fond of knocking about
in out of the way quarters of the
world, and left ship on the Central
American coast with party of COM
rades to explore the wilderness Dur
ing a cruise of several months the en-
tire ships company-a merry crew
had devoted their odd hours in sing
ing to parrot The sailors had lost
no opportunities, and taught the bird
all the seafaring lingo, and few more
or less elegant explosives besides.
When the exploring party had bidder
the bird and the sailors good-by they
plunged into the heart of the tropical
forest. After twenty eight miles of
mortal effort they reached their camp
Ing place for the night Just as the
sun was going down they were startled
TO hear in the primeval silence a
familiar voice calling down from the
top Of a tall palm. "Avast therel 70,
heave hor
1t was the ships parrot. But before
they could recover their startled senses
the faithful bird, having flown ahead
to prepare this unexpected treat for
its chums of the voyage, futtered
down to the top of dead stump near
by and, with shrill call, summoned
thousands of the little green paroduets
of the country. 1t is said that II, 900
of them were counted as they circled
around the great gray African oracle
on the stump and finally took their
places on the ground row after row.
The explorers looked on in dumb
amusement. When the feathered as
semblage became quiet the ships par
rot burst into the words of familiar
song and, to the inextinguishable
laughter of the travellers, the conster-
nation of the rest of the tropical world,
and the delight of the festive precen-
tor, the whole of the II, 600 paroquets,
with one mighty burst of song, broke
into Nancy Lee. "-Ballou's Maya

Some of the Victims Laid Away Yesterday
Sad Scenes That Will Long be Remem-
bered by Neighbors of the Mourners.
Though not all the Grape streams at the
doors of houses wherein lay the dead from
Wednesdays accident have yet disappeared,
some of them were removed yesterday. The

his late residence, No. II Park wav, ALE
gheny yesterday afternoon. The remains we're

pal Church and at the cemetery members of
the Allegheny City Lodge No. 252 Order of
Sons of St. George, took charge of the funeral,
and a number of members of the lodge were
present.
The case of the late Mr. Jones is a very sad
one. The young man was the main support of
his mother and large family. He came to
this country several months ago from England,
and about ten days ago the mother and chill
dren arrived in the city.
The mother is almost heartbroken by the
loss of her oldest son and main support. They
have but few friends and no relatives in the
city.
The funeral of James McGough, the driver
in the employ of Mr.. j. Il. Skelton. the Third
avenue liveryman, took place from the st.
Paurs Cathedral at 10 O'Clock yesterday morn
ing. The remains were inferred in the st.
Mary's cemetery. As the young man had no
friends or relatives in the city Mr.. Shelton
took charge of the funeral. But one carriage
followed the hearse to the grave.
The funeral of William Stringer, one of the
boy victims, was buried yesterday afternoon
from the residence of his parents, in Day alley,
in the rear of SO Resaca street, ALLEGHENY

SP0TTERS AFTER AGENTS.

Rate Cutting Stops Because the Ticket
Sellers Fear the Spies.
The warning given by Judge Cooley to the
passenger men has had a most beneficial ef-
feet. A well-known railroad man said YES
terday that since last Friday passenger rates In
PIttsburg were never SO well maintained. The
ticket agents are thoroughly scared and to add
to their terror the local railroads have filed the
city with spoilers.
"Yes," said an official of a certain road yes.
terday, 81 have met these spoilers within the
past few days, but can't tell whether they are
sent out by the Interstate commission to trap
the roads or by the railroads themselves. It
was about time that something was done. The
passenger business in the city has been rotten
for years; but lately the cutting of rates has
become serious. All the roads are guilty
alike. The lines hardly ever gave passenger
reduction over their own road, but it was
done to points on other lines through the COM
missions paid"

the remainder we send G. o. d.
The Judge of the Greenville Courts, is Pro-
hibitionist and has not granted license in
Mercer county. The prosecutor in this case
holds the opinion that sale is made at that
place where the articlels paid for. This opinion
will not hold in Pennsylvania courts as Judge
Sterrett, of the Supreme bench, decided in
liquor case similar to the one in which we are
involved that it is not violation of the liquor
laws to sell it G. O. D.
The defendant was Joseph Finch and the case
was heard six years ago, The lower court
found him guilty. but the Supreme Court re-
versed the decision.

BARRY'S MEETING.
He Extends a Formal Invitation to All
Working People, and Replies to Some
Charges Made Against Him.

He Extends a Formal Invitation to All
Working People, and Replies to Some
Charges Made Against Him.
The arrangements for the big labor meet
ing at Lafayette Hall, this evening, have
been completed, and the indications are
that the hall will be crowded with
knights of Labor anxious to hear
Barry's expose of the doings of the
general officers. He wired yesterday for
and expects to receive to-day an affidavit
made by F. F. Donnelly, the official stenog-
rapher of the General Executive Board.
In this affidavit Mr.. Donnelly tells of
number of things that were done that might
not have been done.
Tom Barry was very busy yesterday and
conferred with two crafts who are in the
knights of Labor, but he declined to say
anything about them at present. except that
many of them would fall into line within a
short time and become members of the Broth
erhood of United Labor.
The next move of the brotherhood will be to
call meeting of the leaders. This meeting
will be held at the same time and place as the
General Executive Board of the Knights of
LIZ Dor.
In yesterdays paper there appeared an inter-
view with Leading Knight," who made some
remarks about Barry. No name was given, but
Mr.. Barry made guess and, in response, said:
If Campbell wants to cry quits, l am salts
fed; but if he wants more. let him bark again.
Had been as faithful to Jay Gould and his in
terests as Powderly and his colleagues were in
the Southwest strike, he would, no doubt
furnish me with money, not to break up the
knights of Labor, but to assist in continuing
the farce of deception and victimization of the
workingmen, as was done in the Southwest
and other strikes. Jay Gould and his kind are
not as friendly to me as they are to Mr.. Pow
derly."
Mr.. Barry last night issued the following
formal call for the meeting tonight:
To the working men and women of Pittsburg
who unknowingly have gone into voluntary
servitude to King Terrence the First, and have
not yet lost the spirit of American man and wo-
manh ood, you are cordially invited to attend the
mass meeting in Lafayette Hall and hear a truth
full statement of the methods practiced in the
General Office of the Knights of Labor and how
your General officers enjoy the luXuries, living
at your expense, while many of those who bear
the taxation and assessments are allowed to re-
main, when evicted. homeless and supperless. If
you are interested in hearing the truth, and have
not lost all your spirit of independence resent the
insult Of the would-be dictators by being present
at the meeting. If you are moral towards and
afraid to hear the truth. do not come. will be
prepared and will answer any question that is
asked me.

Commits Suicide by Shooting-He Was
Momeutnrily Insane.

DIR. ]. b. Morrison, Penn Avenue Dentist,
Commits Suicide by shooting-He Was
Momentarily Insane.
DR.. J. B. Morrison, a popular dentist,
whose office is at No. 430 Penn avenue,
ended his life yesterday morning by shoot
ing himself in the head. The deceased was
suffering from stomach troubles, and it is
supposed that he was temporarily insane
when he committed the deed.
DR.. Morrison occupied rooms on the first
floor of the building. He told Mrs. Hoover,
his landlady, that his condition was worse
instead of improving yesterday morning. She
heard no more from him until she was startled
by the report of a revolver. Mrs. Hoover hur-
ried to his rear Office and found DR.. Morrison
lying ON the floor. Drs. Mcdonald and Wylie
were summoned They did what they could,
but the unfortunate man died In few
moments. He had removed his collar and
necktie and also his shoes. PIaclng the
muzzie of 3S-callber revolver in his mouth,
he fired the fatal shot.
MI. Morrison was SO years of age and was the
son of Dr. H. Morrison, the dentlst, OF NO: 5O7
Penn avenue, a brother OF j. ID. Morrison
the music teacher, and a cousin OF Baron
was married, and had practiced dentistry for
the past l5 years.
DR.. Morrison suffered from dyspepsia. and it
is supposed that this ailment drove MIN to COM
init the deed.
Coroner Mcdowell held an inquest on the re-
mains of Dr. Morrison last evening. The testi-
mony went to show that the deceased had been
suffering from severe attack OF indigestion,
and had eaten nothing for two days. The ver-
dict was suicide while suffering from temporary
alteration of the mind,
