'independent as q hog on ice," and owed
his ease to no mans charity.

o'clock, with a squad of men raided poker
room in the West End. The place was the

A QUICK GRIPMAN
Saves the Life of a Little Girl Out Penn
Avenue Yesterday.

Saves the Life of a Little Girl Out Penn
Avenue Yesterday.
About $50 yesterday afternoon 2-year-
old girl crossing Penn avenue at Twenty
sixth street, in order to escape from being
run over by a wagon, stepped on the other
track Immediately in front of cable car No.
204. She had evidently not seen the car,
which was going at full speed.
The child was not visible moment be-
fore her sudden appearance on the track.
The gripman, the very instant he saw the
situation, reversed his lever, but too late to
stop the car before the misnsmed ''cow-
catcher" had thrown the child down. She
was dragged violently foot or two, but the
car was at last stopped. The conductor
ran forward and extricated the child, hav-
ing to use some force in drawing her out
from the position into which her little body
was jammed. Great was the delight of the
passengers to see the child able to stand up
on the sidewalk and begin to cry. The
gripman particularly deserves the greatest
credit for his quickness and presence of
mind.

BABY TOLD THEM.

How n Sick and Unknown Woman's Home
a1s.,. Was Located Through Her Little
4 Daughter's Childish Prattle.
Yesterday afternoon lady passenger on
Birmingham car fell to the floor from a
stroke of epilepsy. She had in her lap a
little girl, so much of baby yet that she
could not talk plainly. The child rolled
across the aisle, humping her head violent
ly against the seat.
The car was stopped and both mother and
child taken into a store near the corner of
Twentieth street. A little soothing soon
quieted the child. The mother was uncon-
scious, and doctor arriving presently was
kept busy half an hour before he could
bring her back to consciousness.
In the meantime efforts were heing made
to get at the identity of the woman. She
was rather elegantly dressed, but had no
purse or anything in her pocket which gave
the slightest clew. There was some loose
change there, and that was all. Then re-
sort was had to the baby, although her
childish prattle was scarcely Ineligible
language She was asked if she wanted to
go home. A quick nod of the head followed
in the affirmative. Did the big horses take
little "Froosie" home? Another nod in the
negative. Then to the door she was taken
and shown the river. Was papa's house
right beside the water?
That seemed to brighten up "Froosie. "
She studied deeply for moment and then
pointed slyly up toward the hill, took her
other hand away from her mouth, and said,
in the drollest kind of way.
"Paps, limbs tup steps. Froosie meets
him at top"
Then they got her to describe her play
ground. She did it so accurately that those
present located the house on a certain street
on the hillside at the head of Twenty-third
street. A school girl, dropping in that mo-
ment, corroborated this, and said the
woman's name was Mrs. Slocum, and that
she lived up on the hill near Twenty-third
street.

Pittsburg Firms viii Not Do Business
With the Western Mnnufacturers-
Some Interviews in Odd Contrast.
The indications are that Carnegie Bros.
& Co. will not enter into any combination
with Western steel rail manufacturers for
the formation of a trust or syndi-
cate. One of the leading members of
the firm was seen yesterday and
said 1--WE are perfectly satisfied with
our business and do not care to enter into
any combination; in fact, there is no neces-
sity for it. 1 have seen Messrs. Smith and
Forsyth. They are here on visit and do
not know their object. Mr.. Smith repre-
sents the Joliet steel mill, and Mr.. Forsyth
the Union Steel Company, of Chicago.
Both of these mills are idle now, and these
gentlemen have nothing else to do. Tney
probably came here to see what business
the Edgar Thomson works had, and are
merely looking around. They might want
the Carnegie firm in the proposed comDlna-
tion, but they will not get US in.
A DISPATCH reporter saw Messrs. Smith
and Forsyth at the Hotel Duquesne last
evening. They were in consultation with
Mr.. Hemphill, of the Allegheny Bessemer
Steel Company, and others, but had very
little to say when asked the purpose of the
meeting. Mr.. Smith said: ''Ihave told you
all know. Ask Mr.. Forsyth for any
further information"
. Mr.. Forsyth said: II have nothing to say.
Ask Mr.. HemphilL"
Mr.. Hemphill said: "We have Just COM
pleted the work of putting down the
machinery at the Allegheny Bessemer Com
pany's Works at Duquesne, and that is all
can tell you"
All the gentlemen then smiled and when
asked whether they wanted to bring in all
steel rail concerns into the organization re-
Gently formed by Western manufacturers,
said they had nothing to say. Mr.. Hemp
hill was asked whether his company would
enter the combination, and he replied that
he did not know. When the Western steel
rail men were asked how long they would
remain in the city, they gavethe stereotyped
answer, "Don't know
The reporter then retired and spoke to
several men indirectly connected with the
steel rail business, and they stated that the
only object the Western men could have in
visiting the city was to bring the Pittsburg
steel rail concerns into the combination, If

THE MARBLE CUTTERS DEMANDS.

Others May Follow.
The Marble, Slate and Tile Workers As
ISOLATION, which was recently organized,
will likely succeed. They have made de-
mand for continuance of the present wages
paid, but want reduction in hours. They
have asked for nine hours during the week
and eight hours on Saturdays. The first
firm to grant the demand was Samuel
Young, of jackson street, Allegheny.
The change in hours will not take effect
until April 10, by which time, it is ex-
pected, all firms in this section will grant
the demand made. John Beck has been ap-
pointed walking delegate for the organiza-
tion, and will see that the new rules are
enforced at all shops.

FATHER WARD COMING BACK.

The silver-Tongued Catholic Orator May
be Mt St. PRurs Again.
It is rumored in Catholic circles that
Rev. Francis P. Ward, who was formerly
one of the priests at st. Paul's Cathedral,
but who is now professor of Greek and Latin
at Mount St. Mary's Seminary, at Emmetts-
burg, Nd, is to be sent back to the Cath
edral to take the place made vacant by the
transfer of Father Graham to ,Latrobe.
This is good news to Father Wards
many friends in the city who would be glad
to see him come back. He is expected at
the Cathedral about the time of the mission,
in April, and will probably receive orders
to stay there. He was considered the silver
tongued Catholic orator of the city when he
went away.

SADLY In NEED OF A JUDGE.

The Moot Court, Amer Due Preparation,
Suffers on Phones Account.
The young men belonging to the Moot
Court Association were unfortunate yester-
day. The case of man who fell into
ditch out at Millvale was set for trial, and,
after all the witnesses, doctors, etc., were on
hand, it was found that the case could not
go on for want of the Judge. It was un-
fortunate in many ways, as, among other
things, the court had been put to the ex-
pense of getting diagram made of the
ditch into which the unfortunate man fell.
OF course the witnesses are all right, as the
county must pay their fees in any event,
but all are not so fortunate.
Walter Lyon, ESQ.,, was the Judge who
failed to come to time, and some of his po-
litical opponents were ungenerous enough
to insinuate that the cause of his non-ap-
pearance was that his ear was glued to
telephone receiver, and that at the other
end of the line the Junior Senator of Penn
sylvania was discoursing in dulcet tones.

A. CRYSTAL PALACE.
To Be Almost Entirely Of Glass on
the Fifth Avenue Front,
GOING UP ON A FAMOUS TRIANGLE.
An Ancient Landmark Back of the Court
House to Be Displaced.
HOW THAT JAG CAME TO BE LAID OUT.

A famous old landmark on Fifth avenue
extension is about to be displaced. The
''little square, - or triangular piece of prop
erty at the intersection of Fifth and Old
avenues, right under the shadow of the
splendid Court House, is about to be razed,
and in its stead magnificent business block
will be erected.
The property is owned by r. 7. McGeagh,
a business man who occupies one Of the
stores in the block. The latter runs from
22S to 236 Fifth avenue, and on account of
jts odd appearance is familiar place to
nearly every resident of that upper portion
of the CITY. -Four of the buildings in the
block are only one-storied structures. In
one Of the latter there lived since the square
was put up, a familiar figure, known as
'sThe Little Woman" She was only about
four and one-half feet in height and was
A TERROR TO THE BOYS
who bought things in her store. She died
several years ago, leaving behind her a
great amount Of money.
The square was built when Fifth avenue
was cut through from the Court House to
where Old avenue ran into Chatham street.
Where that part of Fifth avenue now is was
then vacant lot, where some OF the present
county and city officials built bonfres of
stolen barrels and wagon wheels.
Before the avenue was cut through all
travel went out via Old avenue, from Dia-
mond street. Old avenue was then known
as Pennsylvania avenue and the Fourth
street road" Forbes street was not then
cut through to Boyd street, and all the
traffic to East Liberty went via Fifth or
Penn avenues
A CELEBRATED EVENT.
After Fifth avenue had been cut through
from Old avenue to the Court House, the
avenue cars were put on, and the event was
made celebration by the people of the
neighborhood. The car line then only ran
to Soho hill, and the few crippled horses
the company owned were stabbed back of
the Relief Engine House, near Van Brsam
street.
The new structure to be erected on the
side of the triangle will be a four-storied,
brick and glass business block. The first
floor will be used for stores and the upper
portion for offices and dwellings. The
three stored brick house at the corner Of
Tunnel street will be remodeled to suit the
other buildings. The top floor of the
whole square will probably be occupied by
a photographer. The fronts of the build
ings on Fifth avenue, will be almost en-
tirely of glass.

Elder Cheaney, of Texas, Tells How 5000
Majority Grew to 10000.
Elder Josephus Cheaney, the little Texan
with red beard and large persuasive pow
ers, who has been lecturing for prohibition
in this section, and who speaks at the
Opera House tonight, is a man of more
than Lone Star experience. He has been
in~the temperance work for 35 years, has
been to Europe twice, and, in the West,
has been interviewed with eggs, by people
who liked personal liberty better than cold
water. He is called the "Little Giant of
Texas"
In several Southern States, Elder Cheanev
says, majority of the people In given
community can demonstrate away all
licenses and all saloons, the women's voices
counting for just as much as the mems. In
Texas. he adds, prohibition was recently
defeated by about 5000 majority; but its
opponents, with their hands on the whisky
beating pulse in other States, figured it up
to only 10000.

ever saw. Some of our business men rush
into print to call attention to windows
which look very crude compared with
Groetzinger's. If the same master hand
that designed the windows is brought into
requisition when artistic effect is required
in furnishing rooms, it is no wonder that
Groetzinger is called upon to fit the finest
houses with carpets and curtains.
