Is All With the Prohibition Issue in Penn
sylvania.
The famous Sam Small was noticed quiet
ly sitting in an audience at the Smithfeld
Street NJ. E. Church during a temperance
meeting last night. He was called upon for a
speech. He said he was in deep sympathy
with the Constitutional amendment move
ment in Pennsylvania. He believed that the
place to deal with the great question was in
the fundamental law. He agreed with poll
ticians that the question should be kept out of
politics. He spoke of prohibition in Georgia,
and said that while it was not adopted by the
State, ITO counties were local option, and he
wanted it understood that down there prohibi-
tion did prohibit. The question was national
one, he said, ana if defeated in Pennsylvania,
the agitation would not stop until national
prohibition was success.

THEY CUT HER LOOSE.

Two Allegheny Jokers Work n Little Scheme
That Causes n Sensation.
There are a number of shanty boats moored
at the foot of Madison avenue, in the ALLIE
gheny river. The occupant of one of them
caused a sensation. Early yesterday morn
ing Mrs. Schwarsbeck. middle-aged woman
who occupies boat, was asleep when some men
thought they would have some fun. After lay
ing their plans carefully, two of them went
down to the wharf and cut loose the boat. The
river was high, and the craft foated around for
a short time and then started down the stream.
The motion of the boat awoke Mrs. Schwsrs-
beck and she Immediately began to yell "Po-
lice! MurderI' etc.
The residents along River avenue were
aroused and when John M. Andrews saw the
boat and the woman floating down the Allie
gheny he drew his revolver and fired several
shots into the air to attract attention. No
policemen responded, but a number of men
who were engaged at work along the wharf
ran out on a coal fleet and pulled in the floating
boat.
No damage was done, but the police were
notified and are looking for the miscreants who
tried to play joke on a woman that might
have resulted seriously.

A STAND-OFF.
Both Sides Claimed Victory In the Milk
War Yesterday-A Meeting of the Deal

Both Sides Claimed n Victory In the Milk
War Yesterday-A Meeting of the DEAL
ers to be Held Tonight.
The excitement over the milk war has
somewhat abated. The dealers have all
succeeded in getting what milk they need
to supply their customers, and both sides
are confident of eventual victory.
The CHARTERS Creamery Company claim
to have had more dealers apply to them yes
terday for milk. They have threatened to
sell the milk at 8 cents per gallon if the
dealers persist in opposing them. The dealers
promptly reply that they will sooner give away
the milk for nothing than buy the milk from
the company.
Out of l. ,76S gallons of milk received at the
Fort Wayne depot in Allegheny, the creamery
company only got 232 gallons. All the Allie
gheny dealers were satisfied that they could
get all the milk they wanted.
Peter Hermes, the largest milk dealer in
Plttsburg, said he received enough milk yester-
day from his farmers to supply not only all his
customers, but the creamery company as well.
The dealers will meet tonight at l09 Grant
street to draw up constitution and bylaws of
their organization, and from the opinions ex-
pressed by several of the dealers there seems
to be no doubt but that the organization will
be of great benefit to the dealers. 1t will have
one effect, and that is that milk will be sold in
the two cities at a uniform price.

IT WAS ACCIDENTAL.
The Fatal Fire Escape Man vIudIcafed In
the Courts Yesterday,


the Courts Yesterday.
II. Wilson was placed on trial in Crimi-
nal Court yesterday for causing the death
ofJames buddy, aged 16 years, and Michael
J. McHugh, aged IA years, at the Monon-
gahela House on October 81 last. The two
boys were killed, and third one narrowly
escaped death, while testing fire escape. The
Coroner's jury adjudged Mr.. Wilson, the
owner of the escape, guilty of criminal negli-
gence, and it was on this finding that the
charges of murder and mansIaughter were
brought. John g. Robb, ESQ.,, appeared for
the prosecution, and Thomas NJ. Marshall,
ESQ. and George G. Wilson for the defense.
Several witnesses testified to seeing the boys
fall when the rope broke from some unknown
cause. H Wilson, the defendant, told the
story of the accident. He had not hired the
boys to 30 down, but had been solicited by
them for ride. The accident was caused by
some men below getting hold OF the slack line
and jerking it, thus pulling the entire machine
down. He denied most positively tnat ne nao
cried to the men to pull on the rope.
Mr.. Robb stated to the court that after
consultation with the District Attorney and
the officers, he was satisfien that the ana1r was
an accident, and that they should not ask that
the defendant be held to an accountability OF
the indictment against him.
The Court took the same view OF the case,
and the jury was out for ten minutes, and re-
turned verdict of not guilty. There was two
other indictments of involuntary manslaugh-
ter, upon which the Jury returned verdict OF
not guilty, and the costs were placed on the
county.
fire escape, but Judge Magee would not hear
to it.

QUITE A ROW
In the Central Board Over Very Small
Matter Last Night.

Matter Last Night.
The High School Committee wants to
erect house for the janitor on their prop
erty. To do so they need 20 feet of the Bed
ford avenue basin property. Last night the
committee recommended the Central Board OF
Education to ask Councils for this additional
grant. Mr.. Phelps objected to this because, he
said, it would be injudicious to go into Coun-
ellis and lay the board open to slap in the
lace, giving chance to some men to get an
opportunity they have been waiting for to get
back at the Central Board.
Mr.. Adams said that the reason Mr.. Phelps
opposed the report was because he was opposed
to the location OF the building, and as he did
not get it where he wanted it, he does not want
1t at all.
Mr.. Nesbit said that he knew nothing as to
Mr.. Phelps motives in opposing the report.
Before he could say further, Mr.. Phelps arose
and said:
Il say that the gentleman said what was not
a fact"
The Chairman called the gentlemen to order
before more could be said.
A resolution was adopted fixing the school
session on Tuesday, April 80, from the hours of
A. n. to IL O'Clock noon, SO that the children
might participate in the Washington Inaugural
ton centennial proceedings; also instructing
the school principals to have number of the
larger children prepared to take part in the
exercises.

The annual meeting of the stockholders
and directors of the State Line Railroad
Company was held on Monday at the Office
of Secretary Washington, in the Baltimoreand
Ohio station building.
The State Line is projected railroad, incor-
porated in April, 1884. for the purpose of max
ing continuous line for the Baltimore and

Va. After the company was Incorporated,

from Uniontown to the Red Stone branch, were
constructed. Owing to some hitch among the
stockholders. nothing has been done since.

the line will re-begin this summer. If it is
built it will be p miles long, and will open up
vast coal fields in the vicinity of the West Vir-
ginia State line. 1t will be an important feeder
to the Baltimore and Ohio through the Fair
mount, Morgantown and Pittsburg ro adj

A WEAK LIGHT WAY UP.
The Court House Tower Illuminated BY
Electricity Last Night.

Electricity Last Night.
The Court House tower was lighted by
electricity last night. Superintendent C..
Mercer stated that the lamp would be of
1900 candle power. Perhaps it was, but
the glare did not so impress beholders, though
the effect was beautiful, showing up the fine
work of the tower, Possibly the height may
have had the effect to make the volume appear
less than it really was, but beholders, while
admiring the effect generally, held that it
wasn't a 2OO0power glim.
Poets haven't expressed themselves very
soulfully as yet regarding the electric light,
and it is difficult to frame an expression of the
effect farther than to say that it was beautiful
more so, perhaps, than it would have been if
more powerful. 1t wasn't dim, religious
light exactly, but made one think of the effect
of moonlight stealing through the ruined
portals of the Coliseum.
