HOMES FOR WIDOWS.
Erastus Wiman's Novel Scheme May
be Duplicated in This City.
he WAS CONSULTED WHILE HERE.
Small Houses Put Upon Cheap Basis for
Working People.
PURELY RHILASGHROPlc ENTERPRISES

Before Erastus Wiman, Of New York, left
Pittsburg this week, he was waited upon by
two welLknown milIionaires of this city.
For the present they desire their names to
be withheld from the newspapers, but they
are generally engaged in enterprises of a
philanthropic character. As result of
their interview with Mr.. WimaD, the work
ing people of Pittsburg and Allegheny may
secure a new boon.
These gentlemen called upon the dis
tinguished New Yorker to inquire into the
unique and attractive scheme of "home in
surance,' . of which he is the father. They
stated that they have been thinking for
sometime past of initiating his example in
the environs of the workshop cities to aid
mill workers. Small houses are always
scarce here. High rent is another obstacle
often.
WHAT THE SCHEME IS.
Mr.. Wiman explained his scheme to
them. 1t consists in building cheap
houses, costing not over 81 800 apiece, on
Staten Island, and then renting them to la
boring men at $500 year for a series of
years, on condition that if the man dies dur
lug Lue JeIu Ot Tue lease, Tile uOuSe BOtS 70
his widow in fee simple at the time of his
death. And if he lives through the lease
term and pays his annual rent of $500 regu-
larly, then the house becomes his bv reason
of those very annual payments which were
called rent while they were being made, but
in fact were more in the nature of life in
surance premiums and home purchase
money combined.
A PREVIOUS ATTEMPT
A few years ago the name of Felix r.
Brunot was connected with similar pro-
ject IN lower Allegheny City. Its object
was to build homes at the cheapest possi-
BILE price for workingmen, the capitalists in
vesting to reap little or no profit, it being
purely philanthropic idea However, the
dream was never realized.
Mr.. W1man is said to have advised his
visitors not to undertake the enterprise if
they had any idea of making money from
it. He added that he had lost money con-
stantly, but that he felt it was blessing to
his fellowman. 1t is claimed that the
laboring people of New York, sick and tired
of costly fats and filthy tenement quarters,
made regular rush for Staten Island after
Mr.. Wiman built several rows of the houses.
Since then they have been profting and he
losing. Many of the homes fell to widows
before they were one-third paid for.

OMARA'S HOUSE BURNED.
Fire Damages the DercctIve's Squirrel
Hill Property.

Hill Property.
About $50 last night q two-s tory frame
building on Roger o'Mara's property on
Squirrel Hill was destroyed by fire, and the
large frame residence about II feet away
was badly scorched. The fire originated
from leaking joint in the natural gas
pipe.
Mr.. O'Mara has not been living at his
Squirrel Hill house since the LIST of April,
when he moved into Oakland. Since then
Tom Sterck, the gymnastic teacher, has
been living in the residence, and Iario
Gozzola, an Italian, who lights the street
lamps in that district, has been living in
the frame building adjoining the residence,
which was formerly used as spring and
carriage house and sleeping apartment for
hired help. When the fire broke out a still
alarm was sent in to the Hazelwood Engine
Company, but the fremen could do nothing
when they arrived on account of the dis
tance from a fire plug. A bucket brigade
was formed, however, and succeeded in
saving the residence.
The building was valued at $500, par
tally insured. Gozzola lost $500 in cash,
which was hidden away in his trunk. be-
sides all his furniture. The damage to the
residence will probably reach 500, par
italy insured.

FORAKER is SLY.

He VIII Make nm Effort to be Senator
Pnyne's Successor.
Mr.. Patton, a prominent business man Of
Columbus, was an east-bound passenger last
evening. Mr.. Patton is an ardent Repub-
lican and a personal friend of Governor
Foraker.
Mr.. Patton states that the Governor is the
most popular man in Ohio, and will not run
for Governor unless the nomination is forced
on him by the convention.
The general impression seems to prevail
that the Governor is looking after the Legis-
lature, and he will make an effort to succeed
Senator Payne.

A Prompt Payment.

Clure Avenue Church, in Allegheny, whose
funeral took place on Monday, was the

in the National Alliance, of New York.
Proofs of loss were sent to the company
Tuesday evening. The loss was audited,
approved and check for the full amount was
forwarded on Wednesday and rendered to

Prof Brashear Make Addresses.
St. Marks Guild House on South Eigh-
teenth street was formally opened last night.
The exercises were to have been held in the
open air, but the rain prevented it. The
people adjourned to the. assembly.
After singing BY the choir, Mr.. Il. /,
Gourley was introduced. He spoke of the
value of training young people physically,
intellectually and morally. He compli-
mented the people on the completion of the
house, and regretted that such building
was not attached to every church.
This letter of regret from Andrew Car
negie was next read.
PITTsBURG, May 10, 1882
/ am exceedingly gratiied at the kind invita-
tion you give me, but unfortunately my duties
call me to the other side before the date
named for the opening While absent. how
ever, in body, will not fail to take the greatest
interest in the success OF your good work, and
some day shall expect to go over and witness
the pleasing sight of something good having
been done for the people of the Southside.
Very respectfully,
ANDREW CARNEGIE.
Mr. Carnegie is one of the contributors to
Tue IuuO lOI buc cIcCblOu VI OuC 0uA1N AAOuec,
and the reading of the letter from the gener-
GUS millionaire was greeted with long and
hearty applause.
Prof. j. A. Brashear, of Allegheny, then
spoke of the advantages of guilds and re-
ferred to the workingmen's guild of Bel
fast. "In Old Ireland said Prof. Brashear,
"where they are forever crying home, rule,
and where we think they do not know any
thing, there are many good workmen. And
in many instances their education is due to
their associations with such places as these.
Sir Howard Grubbs was the finest telescope
maker in the world, and he was once poor
Irish workingman."
Prof. Brashear predicted that the time
would come before long when all the
churches would need to build guild houses
or they would have empty pews. He re-
ferred again to the workingmen, and said
it was mistake that no great men came
out of the mills, glasshouses and work
shops, and he mentioned Edison as an ex-
ample.
After another song by the children, EN-
NETT Cotton, of the Southside, made few
remarks, and the exercises closed.

an officer, when asked what would be done
at the meeting. said:
"We will condemn the action of the Cen

say that Mr.. Campbell is innocent Of the
charges made, but they are not being
brought out in the proper way. If he is
guilty, or If there is anything whatever to
indicate that he has violated any law, why
did not the Trades Council prosecute him
in the United States Court? They evidently
want to injure the man and conduct a secret
investigation.

lieve, the members will vote to sustain and
defend Mr.. Campbell. Our organization

the most energetic workers in having it en-
acted. do not believe him guilty of vio-

brought out, will cause a big sensation.
