is OUT OF POLITICS.

MIR. DnIlns Sanders DiscIaims All Kuowl-
edge of Campaign Matters-He is Here
on Private Business.
Hon. Dallas Sanders, of Philadelphia, ex-
State Chairman of the Democratic State
Committee, was at the Hotel Duquesne yes
terday. Mr.. Sanders states that he is out of
politics entirely, and he refused to say any
thing about Bigler, Wallace, or any of the
men enlisted IN the present fight. He said
that he had seen Hon. S. j. Randall
very recently at Wallingford, and that,
although the veteran statesman had been
unfortunately affected by rheumatism, he
hoped to be able to take his usual place in
Congress.
Mr.. Sanders states that he is here on. bust
ness represented by real estate in certain
sections of the city, particularly in Wilkins
burg and on Diamond alley. He is in
favor of the widening of that immature
thoroughfare, Both Mr.. Sanders and his
friend Mr.. Samuel Dickson, of the Philadel-
phia bar, express great interest in the
Fidelity Trust and Title Company.
Mr.. Sanders said: "Our two concerns of the
same nature in Philadelphia have been verv
successful. The stock of one of them Is
quoted at 500, and the other, I believe, at
16O, which is certainly a handsome advance
upon original investments"

SOUTHSIDE PLANS FOR AID,
Syndicate Being Formed to Raise $40, 900
for the Hospital.

for the Hospital.
A quiet movement is on foot on the
Southside in behalf Of the proposed erection
of new hospital. The present building is
wholly inadequate for the wants of that
rapidly growing part of the city, and this
opinion is shared in by large number of
well-disposed gentlemen who are willing to
aid the scheme financially
A member of the Board of Di-
rectors of the Southside Hospital
said yesterday that steps would
soon be taken to foment matters toward the
beginning of such movement. He said
that it was proposed to form a syndicate of
40 gentlemen, who will guarantee $500 each,
and the $4,000 thus obtained is to be used
for the purchase of site for the new
hospital The Legislature will then be
called upon for aid, and together with
private contributions a hospital worthy of
the Southside, can be erected and main
tanned.
Ex-Alderman Ammon, of the Southside,
was also interviewed yesterday, and he said:
"While 1 have hesitancy in pushing
myself into such matters, still 1 believe 1t
can be accomplished, am ready at any
time to help, and am willing to be one of
the 40 citizens to contribute $780,"
Several available sites for the proposed
new hospital have already been examined
by the projectors of this movement.

TO ENAMEL BRICKS.
A Southside Company Successful
After Experimenting q Year.
THE ONLY PLANT In THE COUNTRY,
Their Extensive Works win Occupy q Whole
Square of Ground.
A FEW MINOR INDUSTRIAL MATTERS

Pittsburg can now boast Of another in
dustry which has hitherto been failure in
this country. It is the manufacture Of
enameled brick, and the makers are con-
graduating themselves after years patient
experiments. They have erected building
which covers whole square, and the
new industry will give employment to hun
dreds OF people.
The firm who will manufacture the brick
is Dixon, Woods & Co., at the corner Of
South Thirteenth and Jane streets. For
nearly 15 months they have been secretly
experimenting on red enamel, and at last
they were successful in producing brick
equal to any manufactured in the Old
World.
A poor quality of red enameled bricks
has been made in this country, out Of or
binary brick clay, but when exposed to the
weather, the heat they had been subjected to
would crack and crizzle them. The new
brick is composed of the best freclay, and is
said to be perfectly fire proof It is also
alleged to be impervious to acids, damp,
etc.. and suffer no deterioration from any
kind of exposure for any length of time. IL
being practically imperishable.
The firm experimental month after month,
and after spending thousands Of dollars
they were about to give it up. At last they
succeeded, but their process of making the
brick is secret.
The best enameled brick in the world is
made at Leeds, England, and those manu-
factured by the Southside firm are said to
be their equal in every respect. Nearly all
the enameled brick used in this country is
imported. Last May the Superintendent
Of the Congressional Library building in
Washington tried to place an order for 55O,-
600 of the bricks in this country, but could
find no person who could make them. The
contract was then given to the English
firm. In Europe most Of the buildings are
now being made of enameled brick, and on
account of their beauty and durability the
bricks are coming into use in this country.
By not absorbing moisture they are recon-
mended by physicians to be placed where it
is necessary to study sanitary conditions.
The firm will start with a capacity of
$4,000 bricks per week and will increase it
to 1000.

A BOBBY OF A BOY.

Woman Left by Her Husband.

He Bellows Because He Couldn't Learn His
Lessons md Runs Away-Sad Case of n
Woman Left by Her Husband.
A boy named Jacob Meitzler, IS years of
age, arrived in the city yesterday morning
with large valise and copious supply of
tears. He told very pathetic story, but
failed to excite sympathy in the generally
susceptible bosoms of Chief Browns Finest.
He said his home was at q Fairview ave-
nue., Newark, n. j., whence he was sent to
st. Francis Seminary, at Bay View, sort
of Southside to Milwaukee, last week. His
parents intended him to study for the
priesthood, but after three days study the
lad thought the classics were too much for
him, the effect of Latin on bim being his
eyes sore. He admitted also getting very
homesick, and thought the seminary pies
were not like what his mother used to make.
He concluded he would start for home, and
resume the investigation of maternal pies
while forsaking those into the eye-burning
and obnoxious Latin.
He just had $40 in his pocket with
which he paid his passage to Chicago and
thence to Pittsburg, putting his trust In
Providence to get through to New Jersey,
where he expects to meet the reception of
the prodigal son, though his tear-stalned
face showed surface indications rather of a
dread of backing up against a shingle in his
fathers hands applied where it would do
the most good. The police bureau will in
vestigate the boys story and communicate
with his parents.
Another traveller, whose case is certainly
more likely to provoke sympathy, is Mrs.
Beasley, now in the Central station await
ing transportation to New York, where she
expects to interest the English Consul in
her case sufficiently to get her transporta-
tion across the ocean.
The woman came from England with her
husband IS months ago and was deserted by
him In Cincinnati last month. Lett help
less in strange country with a little infant
depending on her for support, the poor
woman did not know where to turn. She
sold out the little furniture which her faith
less husband had left, paid the rent of their
rooms for last month, and applying to the
Cincinnati authorities for passage home,
was forwarded to Pittsburg. The case will
be submitted to the Department of Charities
fo-day

The Western University

Is one of the foremost and most valuable of
our educational institutions in the State. 1t
is backed by Board of Trustees, the men,
bers of which embrace many of the leading
business and professional men of Pittsburg
and Allegheny, and has a faculty composed
of the most successful and experienced edu-
Gators anywhere to be found. With the
completion of its new and elaborate build
ings, new courses, the material already pos
sessed, and what is to be added, the Univer-
sity offers such inducements as can rarely
be found for a classical or scientific educa-
tion. The large number applying for ad-
mission to its classes, the largest in the
history of the institution, is gratifying evil
dence that the public are beginning to ap.
preciate its benefits.

A LARGE INCREASE.
Additional Teachers to be EMPLOYED mt the
Soho PnrochinI School-Other Schools
Falling Of.

Additional Teachers to be Employed Mt the
Soho PnrochinI School-Other Schools
Falling on:
The plain. practical sermon delivered by
Rev, Father Corcoran, pastor of ST. Agnes
Church at Soho, two weeks ago yesterday, on
the subject of Parochial Schools, had the ef-
feet of increasing the attendance at the
schools. At the several masses yesterday,
Father Corcoran announced to his congrega-
ton that the enrolment of the pupils was
over 700, or 200 more than when the school
year closed.
Father Coreoran stated that he found it
necessary to employ two additional teachers.
This makes nine altogether who are teach
ing at the school. He also finds it necessary
to employ principal who will be first
class female teacher and scholar. She will
be placed at the head of the school and
Father Corcoran will assist her.
By the employment of ten teachers and
himself Father Corcoran will have the
largest parochial school in the city. At st.
Paul's Cathedral schools there are less than
1000 pupils altogether out of about 800
families. In Father Corcoran's parish there
are about 200 families.
Father Corcoran urged the poor people to
send their children to the schools. no matter
whether they can afford to pay for the sup
port of the schools or not. He thanked the
people for the response to his appeal, and
said il it was necessary they would enlarge
their present quarters to accommodate the
children.
The teachers of the Fourteenth ward
school, which is next to st. Agnes School
on Fifth avenue, are viewing with alarm
the exodus of Catholic pupils from their
school. If the attendance drops off it may
become necessary to discharge several
teachers. A number of pupils who formerly
attended the Bellefeld school have with
drawn, and are now going to Father Corco-
rams institution.
About one year ago teachers were dropped
in the Mount Albion schools for this same
reason. When st. Kynan's school was
opened the Catholic parents withdrew their
children from the public school and sent
them to Father Briley. The Fourteenth
ward teachers hope that renewed attendance
will obviate the necessity of dropping any
of them.
Father Corcoran also announced yesterday
that mission would be given by the Paul
list fathers in his church, beginning the first
Sunday in the new year. This will be JAN
uary 5. The priests who will conduct the
mission will probably be the same as those
who were at the Cathedral several months

Confluence to point II miles west of Deer

the road will be extended to Deer Park and
eventually to Oakland.
The Baltimore and Ohio Company have
leased the new line in order to make con-
nection with the Chesapeake and Ohio.
From Confluence the road will run up the
Youghiogheny River in Garrett county to
5000 acre tract of mineral and coal lands
called Yough Manor. 1t will go up Horse
shoe Run through West Virginia, and also
touch the West Virginia Central road.
This will make new Eastern outlet for
the shipment of coal and lumber, in which
that territory is rich.

NO DOUBT ABOUT HIS TERM.
Eminent Lawyers Say Tint Mr.. Pearson Is
Mayor for Four Years.

Eminent Lawyers Say Tint MIR. Pearson is
Mayor for Four Years.
There appears to be little or no foundation
for dispute relative to the length of the
term of Office of the Mayor of Allegheny.
The lawof June &c, 1886, says that the Mayor
of city of the third class shall serve for
four years and shall not be eligible for a
second term. The operation of this law de-
pends upon the classification of Allegheny.
Mayor Pearson has secured the opinions
of such lawyers as j. Scott Ferguson, ex-
Solicitor William B. Rodgers, James S.
Young, 7. Walter Day and others, all of
whom agree that Allegheny is city OF the
third class and that Mayor Pearson's term
of office will not expire until April, 1891.
City Treasurer David Macferron, who will
pay the salary, likewise holds that Allie
ghenv belongs TO the third class and that the
Mayors term is for four years. Mayor Pear
son says that he does not know of any man,
whose opinion is valuable, who maintains
to the contrary. The candidates for the sue
cession are reported all to accept that view
of the case
