state OF unconcern and uncertainty There
was no great rush for the stock because Of
the fear that the machines might amount to
no more than toy. Some of the same

advantage, if it be possible TO compose rap

So far the invention is decidedly interest
ing, and its advent in the city in the past
week has been a source of considerable
amusement and experimenting. About 200
machines are now here, and many more are

machine is $40 year, and a copying CON-

minutes.

A Sunday Fight ON Religion Which May
Terminate Fatally-An Americas Me-
chanic's Very Offensive Remark.
Detectives Eichenlaub and Glenn, Of Al
legheny, yesterday arrested Michael Shee-
han, of Grant alley,o a charge of felonious
assault and battery. He is accused OF
knocking Charles McKelvy down, and in
falling the latter received injuries about
the head that may result in death. The as
sault occurred last Sunday. but the Chief Of
Police was not notified until yesterday and
Immediately ordered the arrest of Shehan.
The prisoner is driver for De Haven g
Co., and was found at the works shortly
after noon. He was taken to the lookup,
where bail for his appearance at hearing
was offered, but, owing to the dangerous
condition of the injured man, it was re-
fused. Sheehan was committed to jail for
80 days to await the result of McKelvY's
injuries.
The prisoner saws he was walking along
Beaver avenue when. he heard McKelvy
say he was an American Mechanic and had
no love for the Catholics. He also stated,
looking at Sheehan, that all 'Micks"
should go to hot quarters. The prisoner
asked whether he intended the remark for
his benefit, and McKelvy replied in the
affirmative. Sheehan then hit him bloT
and he fell, striking his head on the curb
stone and fracturing his skull. Sheehan
walked on, and says he did not know the
blow would result seriously, or he would
have given himself up the next day.
McKelvey lives at 206 Fulton street, and
the physicians who are attending him say
they have but slight hopes for his recovery.

Some Crooks Work Two Hours On a Jew.
eIry Store, but Get Nothing.
An attempt was made early yesterday
morning to rob the jewelry store at No. 1O7
Federal street, Allegheny, but the thieves
were frightened away after working about
two hours to effect an entrance, They had
an auger and bored a number of holes
through a wooden partition in the rear Of
the store, and finally succeeded in making
hole two feet square. They covered it up
with cloth in order to prevent any person
from noticing it.
The hole was discovered in the morning,
but as nothing was disturbed in the store,
it is supposed the thieves were frightened
away before they could complete the job.
Chief of Police Kirschler said last night
that he believes there are two strange crooks
in town, and he intends to capture them if
possible. Last night he issued orders to
the police force to arrest all persons seen
on the streets late at night who cannot give
a satisfactory account of themselves. He
also instructed them to arrest all corner
loafers.

The Former Greatly Missed by Many Call

''There is one man about the White House
who is greatly missed, and he is Dan
Lamont" said Republican politician at
the Monongahela House yesterday. Dan
had the happy knack of divining just what
people wanted to know, and he gave the in
formation promptly. His perfect good ma.
ture and genial smile we're appreciated by
correspondents and public men.
THUS far 'Lige Halford has not been
much of success. He is bright enough,
but he does not seem fitted to fill his diff
cult position. It is to be hoped he will i'm
prove after he has had little more expert
ence.
81 remember" continued the same poll
tician, "when 1 was in Indiana during the
late campaign, met Joseph B. Cheadle,
Republican member of Congress Joe is an
editor also, and when he was making his
first canvass the opposition sheet came out
one day and asked, What can Joe Cheadle
do, anyhow, if he should go to Congress?'
In the next issue of his paper Joe made
this reply: He can keep sober;' and he did.
He was reelected to Congress, and helped
to boost him."

OLD SOLDIERS PREFERRED.

The New State Law Signed by the Governor
in Their Behalf.
The many Union veterans, and their still
more numerous friends in this vicinity, will
all rejoice to know that House bill No. g.,
which recently passed both Houses at Har-
risburg, has at last been signed by the Gov
ernor, and is now law.
DR.. C. P. Seip, prime mover in the local
veterans association, which was chiefly in
strumental in securing this good result, re-
ceived telegram to the above effect from R.
B. McCleary, in Harrisburg, yesterday.
The bill provides that Union veterans
shall have preference in appointments to
State, county and municipal offices for
which they may be equally competent with
other applicants, and specifies penalty for
violation of the act.

DIR. PENEY'S LUCK.

Important Invention.

After a Series of MisfOrtunes He Makes an
Important Invention.
DR.. William L. Penny, heretofore one of
the most unlucky men in this section of
the country, seems to have struck the
turning point. His many misfortunes
have been published, but the most recent
one was his arrest for alleged completely in
the Murdoch bunko game, of which he was
honorably acquitted. His luck changed
when he won a suit for damages against De-
tective Perkins recently, and brought suit
against Alderman Cassidy for $50, 600 dam
ages.
The doctors latest success is the invention
of an underground electric wire conduit for
which he received patent last week. Sew
eral capitalists have already offered to pur-
chase the patent, but the doctor declines TO
give their names or the amounts offered.
The invention is combination of wires
insulated in glass, and can be buried in the
ground and connections made with every
building on the streets for telegraph, light
ing and telephone service.

AT A COST OF S2.5OO.

New Styles of Soda Fountains That May
Make Life Worth Living.
The inhabitants Of the community, es-
pecially those who regard soda water as one
of the necessities of life, will be glad to hear
that several enterprising Allegheny drug
gists have placed orders for new kind of
fountain, said to be the very height of sani-
tary perfection. They are intended to take
the place of the old brass-piped counter
fountains.
In point of beauty they greatly go ahead
of the latter, as they are built in new
style, the fountain being in the shape of an
arch, from which the various spiggots are
pendant. Fountains of this kind cost about
s., 500 apiece, and they promise to be great
success.

the uncle for whom she was searching. He
was not DR.. N. Recktenwald, however, but

The young girls parents died in Germany,

knew he had been in Pittsburg for 20 years,
but did not know just where he lived or at
what he was employed.

THEY PREVENT RUNAWAYS.
How a Cable Car Brought a Frightened
Horse TO Bay.

How a Cable Car Brought Frightened
Horse TO Bay.
Just as a cable car was turning into the
loop building of the Citizens Company, at
the corner of Penn avenue and Cecil alley,
yesterday afternoon at Ais, a frightened
horse attached to one of Danziger's dry
goods wagons dashed across the street in
front of the car. The gripman reversed his
lever and threw back both brakes, but the
momentum of the car caused it to strike the
horse full on the side, telling him like
an OK.
The animal fell so that one hind leg was
just covered by the car guards, scraping off
the flesh. Then the car stopped. The ami
NAL was gotten up in few minutes, and
the wagon or shafts were. found to be
scarcely scratched. A runaway had simply
been stopped in an orderly and decisive
manner.

ter's Office on Butler street. She was car

but having no funds or friends in the city
she attempted to walk from Allegheny to

Krouse with the necessary requisites and

Co.'s Thirty-third street, mill, met with a
serious accident. Morority was engaged in
unloading pig metal from car, and just as
he was about to throw piece out he noticed
a man walking by.
The heavy bar would surely strike him,
and in order to save the man, Morority held
on to the metal. Both went out the car to-
gether. The pedestrian was knocked out of
the way and Morority sustained such serious
injuries that will probably cause his death.
The injured man was taken to surgeons

had fractured his spine. besides being badly
injured internally. Morority is 20 years
old and lives on Fortieth street.

At 9 o'clock last night Thomas Brittin

conduct. The prisoner had the nippers on
him, and just as the wagon stopped in front

him out, he twisted himself loose from their
grasp and dashed through the crowd that
had assembled in the alley.
The officers, as soon as they could recover
from their surprise, started in pursuit
Down Smithfeld street they went at high
speed. The prisoner being an active, young
fellow, he soon left the officers in the dis
tance and managed to make good his escape.
He was last seen on Third avenue,

TIE FIRST GAME.
A Lawrenceville Citizen Opens the New
Baseball Season,

Baseball Season.
The spring weather of yesterday made
John Thomas, of Lawrenceville, sigh for
the merry crack of the baseball as it leaves
the bat, and the huzzahs of crowd of spec
tators. He got the craze so bad that he
went home and procured bat, and started
out to raise crowd and have a game.
While he was passing William Quartz,
who was standing on Twenty-sixth street,
the latter asked if he was ''going to open
the season."
As the words rolled out of Quartz's
mouth, Thomas evidently thought they were
high-curved inshoots, and raised his bat to
knock out a home run. He made one
strike, and, somehow or other, the bat came
in contact with Quartz's head. Thomas
started on run for first, but a policeman
captured him before he reached the bag.
At the hearing before Umpire Porter last
night Thomas gave $500 bail for trial.

An Important Delegate Convention Held at

Wheeling Yesterday.
A delegate convention of nailers from all
the mills in the Ohio Valley was held in
Wheeling yesterday to take some measure
OF relief for the nailers at Bellaire, Laugh
lins and elsewhere, who have been out of
work for weeks and months past by reason
of the closing down of factories. The con-
ventlon was called to order at 10 AM, John
Reed, of Bellaire, presiding, and was in
session until 5 P. NJ. 1t was agreed that
every machine working in the Ohio Valley
should pay an assessment into common
fund or pool, from which weekly benefits
should be paid out to all men idle or to be-
come idle in the future by any other reason
than a strike or lockout.
In either of these events the men will
draw benefits from the Amalgamated As
sociation. This move by the men is brought
about by the recent pooling arrangement Of
the manufacturers, as the closing of certain
factories has been the direct result Of the
manufacturers attempts to obtain better
control of the market.
