Editor Daily LIGHT:
MARION Texas, April 1 1889.
Mr.. f. Seligmann, while out hunt
ing in his pasture, found VOLTS nest
with eight young ones. He returned
at once to Marion to get somebody to
help him catch the little ones and per-
haps kill the old one. Mr.. Seligmann
better known as Shoo-fiy) was afraid
to tackle the wolf himself. Messrs.
Haenel, Hellmann and Mennin, ac-
companied him to the pasture, armed
with shot-guns and rifles. They
laid in ambush all day near the nest
and tried their very best to kill the
old wolf, but she was no fool her
self and stayed off far enough that no
bullet could reach her. Finally the
hunters got tired waiting and re-
turned home about shutdown, bring
ing with them the eight young
wolves. Wolves are at discount
now, and all those having poultry
feel little relieved. there being eight
wolves less. BILL.

Under the Wire.

A serious accident occurred to Jesus
Flores, an old resident of Beanville,
yesterday. He started to leave his
yard, mounted, to round up his horses
that were out on the common, and
as his horse cantered out the old man
was caught under the chin by a wire
clothes line which he had not noticed
and was thrown from his horse. The
shock was such that he was jerked
backward over his horses Group and
struck the ground with such force as
to injure his spine. Serious results

shocnberger e. Co. still Dickering for Con-
cessfons In the Scale.
Another conference between Shoenberger
& Co. and the officials of the AmaIgamated
Association was held yesterday in the
offices of the former. After wrestling with
the scale all day, they adjourned late in the
afternoon without coming to an agreement.
1t is a settled fact however, that in the scale
to be adopted there will be about the same
concessions made as were made for Carnegie.
Phipps & Co., and the wages to be paid
will be on sliding basis. The scale will
also run for three years from the date of set
tlement.
1t was reported yesterday that the main
point under consideration was the reinstall-
ment of roller who had not been union
man. He invented an automatic attach
ment for a train of unusual rolls which does
away with the work of five men. In order
to work it successfully the firm wish to en-
ploy the man to operate the rolls, but the
Association objects.
A meeting of Harmony Lodge, of the
Amalgamated Association, will be held in
Seibert's Hall, Ninth ward, this morning, to
take action in the case Of Shoenberger's
mill, the proprietofs of which have not yet
signed the scale. President Weihe VIII be
present.

A DISTRESSING CASE.
Death Of a Girl Who Worked When Hardly
Able to Stuud I'm.

Death Of a Girl Who Worked When Hardly
Able to stnnd Up.
Deputy Coroner Donley and Coroner's
Clerk Grant Miller made an investigation
of the death of Helen Isel yesterday after
noon, the developments of which justified
them in placing the girls father under ar
rest, pending the result of the inquest.
They learned that the young girl had
been an imbecile and subject to epileptic
fits. About three weeks ago she became i'll,
but was still compelled to do all the work
about the house, although scarcely able to
hold up her head. DR.. Haworth was called
in Saturday. The doctor saw she was in q
very serious condition and ordered her i'm
mediate removal to bed, but it was too late.
The girl complained of ill-treatment sew
eral times to Julius Glassman, who occu-
pies the front part of the house. On Friday
she told him that her father had kicked her
twice in the side and once in the stomach,
causing her great pain.
Mr.. Glassman says the family were the
flthiest lot of people he ever saw.
Isel is blacksmith's helper. Mrs. Isel
recently lost an eye and it is said that it
was knocked out about five weeks ago by
her husband who went home one night
drunk. Becoming angered at his wife he
picked up lamp and threw it at her, cut
ting her face and knocking the eye clear out
of the socket. She is also said to be of weak
mind.
Doctors Haworth and Guy McCandless
were authorized to hold post-mortem exam
ination of the remains of the dead girl.

THE TYPHOID SCARE.

The southside Comparatively Free From
the Fever-Tbere IL No Epidemic YET,
Although 1t May Come at Any Time.
1t has been reported that the Southside
had once more typhoid fever epidemic.
An investigation last night, however, proved
that so far the disease is scarce on that side
of the river.
DIR. ]. M. Duff, although naturally averse
to having his name in print, was at last led
to remark: 81 do not wish to question the
statement of any of my professional friends;
but if there is an epidemic of typhoid on
this side of the river, 1 have failed to dis
cover it as yet. Neither has any other
physician expressed himself to me to that
effect"
DR.. E. A. Mundorff said: "There is no
epidemic of typhoid on the Southside, and
there is no more fear that it will occur than
there is in any other year. Whenever we
have rainless summer the Southside is
liable to have an epidemic of fever, and
that state of things will continue until our
water supply is changed. Whenever the
river is low, organic matter containing the
germs of disease is always apt to contain
mate our water supply, and disease may
come at any time"

A FAMOUS BLIND TEACHER.

DR.. Campbell IL Ready to Talk With fhe
Promoters of the Blind Institute-sone
Wonderful Bicycle Trips.
DR.. Francis L. Campbell, the famous
Principal of the English Royal Normal
College and Academy of Music for the
Blind, arrived in the city yesterday and
stopped at the Hotel Boyer. On Thursday
he will meet the promoters Of the Pittsburg
institution for the blind, and give them the
benefit of his ripe experience: The Doctor
is great believer in physical education for
those who can't see, and he il wonderful
properly handled.
he retired early last evening, not feeling
well, but his son, Guy NJ. Campbell. talked
for his father. When asked if the doctor
would consen. to act as principal for the
Pittsburg school, he replied that was some
thing later on, and was not the object of
their present visit.
When they return to England they will
take party of blind students on tandem
bicycles to the Paris Exposition. Arrange
ments have been made for the Paris Wheel
men to meet them go miles outside of the
city and act as an escort.
My father and /, he continued, "have
been all over England and Norway on the
bicycle. We have q machine that will
carry eight people, something I have not
seen in this country, and we often take out
parties of blind students on trips over the
fine English roads. OF course on each
machine we place a sighted man to act as
guide, but the blind must understand the
business, and know when to put on the
brakes. etc., from q given signal.
Blind people can skate and swim
alone, because they can tell from
the sounds when they are near the inclosure,
shifting and changing that they couldn't
navigate without guide. Not long since
we made the distance from London to
Derby, about 140 miles, in two days. But
the roads are so poor in America that we
couldn't do much with the bicycles here.
By the bicycle I don't mean the average
two-wheeled American machine. Our ma
chimes have from four to eight wheels"

ENGLIsHMEN ALARMED.
II PitfsburG's Tin PInte Plant Succeeds

II PitfsburG's Tin PInfe Plant Succeeds
They'll be Ruined.
A correspondent writing from England
TO the Anaerican Manufacturer says the tin
plate fund which started in this city for the
purpose Of equipping an American tin
plate plant at the new Exposition building
is regarded with apprehension among tin
plate manufacturers of England. They are
alarmed at what they call the bold practical
manner Of the experiment. The English
and Welsh manufacturers have had q
monopoly. and it has been steadily advanc-
ing. In 1873 the number OF boxes exported
from Great Britain was 2,153, AT boxes; in
1879 the number was 3, 534, ,169 boxes, and
last year it had risen to 6,953, ,12S boxes. OF
these amounts America took nearly the
whole.
Iron and steel masters are also appre-
hensive of the new movement. The extent
to which they are interested may be gathered
from the fact that the last named quantity
of tin plate represents somewhere about
800, 900 tons of iron and steel. If the ex-
pertinent is success, and if followed by
the tariff on the European product being
increased TO shut the latter out of this mau-
ket. it means ruin for the foreign manr-
facturers,

NOT ENOUGH CLERKS.

Tho Sinte Demands Tax Statistics of the
City without Providing Machinery
What the Omcials Say.
The County Commissioners yesterday sent
to the city authorities set of blanks issued
BY the State, according to an act of last
May, which requires them to furnish to the
State complete tabular statement of all
taxes collected in the county. including
State, county, borough, township or ward
tax, and poor tax, road tax, personal prop
erty and occupation and corporation tax,
together with what is received from
licenses of various kinds and the tax on the
real estate Of chartered corporations, includ-
ing railroads and the tax on limited part
nerships.
Controller Morrow thinks it will be almost
impossible to furnish the required statement,
as the act requires the tax receipts for the
year ending June 1, while the city fiscal
year ends February 1. As the law was
made to secure an accurate estimate of the
taxes received throughout the State, for the
purpose of forming a basis for equitable
revenue laws, it provides for payment of
the necessary expenses; but Secretary Stew
art sends circular with the blanks stating
that, as the Legislature made no appropri-
alton for the expenses, the compilation must
be Ga labor of love-"
Mr.. Morrow estimated that two clerks
would be required for month or six weeks
to do the amount of work expected; but, as
there is no appropriation for payment of
extra clerks, he does not see how he can fur
nIsh the figures. Section provides thatany
official refusing to supply the required in
formation that may be in his possession,
when demanded, snail be guilty of misde-
meanor, and subject to fine Of 5000.
The blanks above referred To were present.
ed to the Board of Assessors BY clerk from
the County Commissioners Office, and upon
it was decided, as the records Of
that Office do not show collections, that the
board named had nothing to do with the
matter. The Controller being the chief
financial officer of the city, and the fiscal
being kept in his Office, Mr.. Case,
Chief Assessor, after examination, on behalf
of the board, referred the blanks to Mr..
Morrow. This action was officially reported
by letter to the County Commissioners, and
the Board of Assessors expressed a willing
ness to aid in the preparation of the statistics
so far as possible, with reasonable
clerical help.

Secretary waichorn Summoned to the Coke
Region Again.
Robert Watchorn, Secretary Treasurer of
N. D. A. No. 135, Knights of Labor, Miners
and Cookers, went yesterday from Columbus
to the Connellsville coke region. He was
summoned to the region to influence the
rioters in favor of work. He will also seek
settlement with the operators who have
not yet signed the scale.
At the Office of the ]. W. Moore Coke
Company, in this city, yesterday, it was
stated that their men were still idle, with no
prospects of going to work. It was stated
that the firm could not grant the advance,
and beyond the rioting there was no change
in the situation.
At Colonel Schoonmaker's Office it was
given out that about four-ffths of their men
were at work, and the remainder would be
this morning. The Mcclure people said
they were running full. The Frick Com
pany have all their men at work.
Nothing has yet been done about advanc-
ing the price of coke. A number OF furnace
men have been trying to make large con-
tracts at 81 per ton, but the operators are
fighting shy.

The Strike mt the Solar Iron Works II Not
Dead and Buried.
A strike is threatened among the men at
Phillips, Nemick & Co.'S Sligo mill, and
should it occur it will have q tendency
toward general strike among other iron
mills. .Ge
The cause of the trouble is the old Solar
Iron Works strike, which is still being
waged, despite the popular belief that the
Amalgamated Association had given it up
The firm have been making considerable
muck iron for different mills in this city,
and the men have protested against working
it. Their objections have never yet come to
an open revolt until the present case came
up. On Saturday night the men in the
Sligo mill decided not to work any more of
the iron which was being run in to them in
large quantities. They requested the mill
committee to inform the Superintendent
that if they were asked to work any more
non-union iron after to-day there would be
a strike. The Superintendent refused to
act in the absence of Manager Bailey, and
asked the men to defer action until to-day,
when the Manager would be home. They
accordingly did So and, if a negative an
swer is received, the men say that they will
quit work this evening.

pected the price Of pipe will be advanced

For some time there has been big de-
mand for pipe, and all the pipe mills are
filled with orders. Many of the oil men
have been forced also to close down their
wells on account OF the scarcity Of pipe and
castings. Even the gas men have suffered be-
cause the pipe manufacturers could not
turn out enough pipe to supply the market.
The makers who went to New York last
evening were very reticent about what
would be done, but it is understood the OBJ
ject Of the meeting is to put up the price.

"That story is a lie from the whole

Alderman Brinker's Novel Point Regarding
l.. g. O. Prosecutions.

Captain Wishart made informations be-
fore Alderman Brinker yesterday against
John Martin, of Smithfeld street; Thomas
Quinn, of Fifth avenue, and A. ]. Kaercher,
of Federal street, Allegheny. for selling on
last Sunday. All of them gave bail for
hearings this morning between, 9 and 10
o'clock.
Martin was also sued before Alderman
Burns yesterday for selling on the same day
and paid his fine Alderman Brinker said
yesterday that efforts to evade the Law and
Order League by having an action brought
and a fine paid before another alderman
would prove futile, as an information could
be made on Sunday as we'll as on any other
day, and the process need not be served
until the next day. He said If the informa-
tiOns he has against these defendants were
looked into, they would show the date to be
previous to any made at other Offices.
