QUEER LEGAL WORK,
A Man wapted in Plusburg Released on
Bail In PhlIadsIphIa--A Hearing Before

A Man Wapted IN Pifisbnrg Released on
Bail In PhiIadeIphIa-AH Hearing Before
Bfaeistrate.
A strange piece Of what appears exceed
ing crookedness has been developed in Phil
adelphia from proceedings begun in this
city. Some weeks ago the general agent Of
E. W. Walker 8 Co.. book publishers Of
Boston, Mass, called or John D. Watson,
ESQ.,, and told him that the Pittsburg agent
of the company. b. M. Nichols, had been
embezzling money belonging to the COM
pany. At Mr.. Watson's suggestion an
information was made against Nichols be-
fore Alderman McMasterS The general
agent said he had examined Nichols books
and found a shortage, it being ascertained
that Nichols was in Philadelphia. Detect
i've Heiner states that he sent warrant for
Nichols arrest to Charles w. Wood, Chief
of Philadelphia detectives, and the next aft
ernoon received telegram from him stating
that Nichols had been arrested, and had
furnished 81, 900 bail for a hearing on Mon
day, the impression being allowed that the
bail had been taken before some Magistrate
in Philadelphia.
As the law does not say that police jus
tice, or even a justice of the peace, shall
take bail for man charged in'another
county with crime, Mr.. Watson and the Of
fcials interested looked upon the proceeding
as somewhat irregular. but concluded to
await the date set tor the hearing, supposing
they would get an explanation. 1t was
fixed for last Monday, but neither Nichols
nor an explanation put in an appearance,
and the authorities here began to look the
matter up. No news came from Wood di-
rectly, but they were informed by clipping
from a newspaper that Nichols had bear
ing before a Philadelphia magistrate and
had been discharged. This relieves his
bail, and he has had time to get far enough
away by this time to be comparatively safe.
Said Mr.. Watson: 1T looks to me as
though this was a conspiracy to assist a fu-
gitive from Justice. don't believe it could
have been accomplished IN Allegheny
county. 1t is an unheard-of proceeding,
and is at variance with all previous pro-
ceedings in such cases. Though extradition
between States is matter of courtesy
largely, no Governor would take
Philadelphia officials have done.
In this case Of ours the evidence was all at
this end of the line, and none of it in Phila-
delphia In fact we have no evidence yet
that there was bail given in Philadelphia
at all
Mr.. HeineFSs experience in matters OF this
kind has been varied, and he states that this
is something new to him. just what will
be done about it remains to be seen, no
further steps having been taken as yet.

Foreman DAILY Says Il Was Broken Accl-
dentalIy and Not MaIiciOusIy.
Some of the Allegheny County Light
Company's late employees whom DIS
PATCH reporter happened to meet last even
ing were very indignant at the insinuations
made in some of the papers that they were
concerned in the cutting of the wire on the
Sixth street bridge.
Later Mr.. Robert DAILY, the company's
late foreman. was seen and in this connec-
ton said: "You want to know how that
wire was cut? Well, I'll tell you, and an
examination of it by any man who knows
his business will prove what say. 1t was
cut just as wires on the same bridge have
been cut before, by abrasion and undue
strain, coupled with some defect in that
particular place. That's how the wire was
cut, or broken, for if it had been cut, the
insulation must have cut. too, which it is
not The men, know, are blamed for it,
but unjustly. They didn't cut it. You can
take my word for that"

An Unknown AssniInnr Who Used Bottle
rs an Implement of Warfare.
John Hallan, young man living in the
Fifteenth ward, was assaulted last night on

with large bottle. The force of the blow
broke the bottle over Italians head and cut
his face and scalp in number of places
very severely. The assailant fed and left
nothing by which he could be identified.

PUDDLERS' WEEK OUT.
Claiming That the Iron Is Too Strong for the
Money Paid.

Claiming That the Iron is Too Strong for the
Money Paid.
The DuddIers in Carnegie, Phipps & Co.'s
lower Union Mills have refused to work
any longer on the iron supplied them by the
firm. The claim made by the men is that
the iron is of the description known as
strong iron, hard to work, and therefore
worth more money for conversion than ma
teriaI of softer quality.
Manager Blackburn. on being asked for
an explanation, said that the iron was of
the same quality as habituallv used. The
mill was closed down for the annual stock
taking, and Mr.. Blackburn was assured
that on the resumption of work that the men
would turn in to work on the same iron.
The bar mill is to be completely re-
modelled; a new engine will be built, and
improved rolls put in, and which will be
three instead Of two rolls in height as at
present. The mill will start up again early
in January.

Opinions of Free Bridges.

City officials think that purchasing
bridges to free them would prove a costly
speculation, as the interest on such sum
would be a very large factor in municipal
expenses. City Attorney Moreland has
stated that the whole matter of freeing
bridges lay in the hands of Mr.. B. F. Jones.
That gentleman was requested to express an
opinion upon the'matter. He stated that he
had given the subject no attention, but
would look it up.

INJURED BY GAS.

The Natural Fluid Supposed 70 be n Foe
to the Telephone.
AsJ. W. Cupps. Inspector Of the Fire
Alarm Bureau under Morris Mead. looked
at the telephone in Central station last night
he used some observations which will not
bear repetition in polite society. He said:
''There you are; natural gas is big bene-
fit to everybody but myself and the tele-
phones which have to handle in getting
them in shape, at least this is my opinion.
Ever since natural gas has been in use
have found a sort of insulation has been
formed on the points Of contact, or probably
it would be better to say they have got
gummed in such way that it gives me
trouble to get the instrument in order. {"
And there the Inspector viciously piled
the sandpaper and file, and wondered if
natural gas made a saving of labor after
all.

GOOD HOLIDAY TRADE.

A Druggist Reports That the Business Was
Never Better.
AL MaginnI, the leading druggist of
Braddock, last night said that there was a
better business during the holiday season
than he had seen before for many years.
The prospects for the coming year, he said,
were much better than they were at the
same time last year, and if no calamities
occurred, the District of Western Pennsyl-
vania would come out many thousands
ahead Of even the present good season.
He thought that giving the eastern end of
the State the sea coast and other advantages
which it was supposed to possess. the Pitts
burg district could hold its own against any
part of the country.

Mr.. Jenkin Jones, of Jones, Cavitt &
Co, the SOuthside glass manufacturers, said
last evening about the outlook of the glass
trade: "After January the jobSers will
migrate East and stop in Pittsburg. As
rule, the Western meu come East and some
of the Eastern men 90 West. But they all
stop in Pittsburg because everything that is
made in our line can be seen in Pittsburg.
The Boston people make Pittsburg their
headquarters about twice year. They
come here for the purpose of looking up the
new lines Of goods and the trade for the
whole year, depends largely on what these
jobbers do on their January visit. 1t would
be hard to conjecture what the trade will be
like until after the second week in the new
year.

The National Salute Fired Amid Deaf
ening Cheers - An Unprecedcntedly
Large Crowd.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Feb. 26.-The Pan
handle special bearing President-elect
Harrison, arrived here at S:15 p. m.
Members of both branches of the legisla-
ture, local Republican clubs, headed by
bands of music, and 10000 Columbus
citizens, met him. AS the train pulled
across High street the national salute
was fired and the cheers that went
from the thousands of threats was sim.
ply deafening. The ladies were. well
represented in the crowd and were Just
as anxious to see Gen. Harrison as the
men. During the rush for the train sew
eral ladies tainted and well nigh suffo-
Gated. The train was uncoupled so
as to allow as many as possible to G. Their
about President Roberts private Cal, and
great was the enthusiasm that the
rear railing was wrenched from its sup
ports. Governor Foraker appeared on
the rear platform and was loudly
cheered. President-elect Harrison came
out Immediately and was introduced by
the governor. The applause was terrific,
and after quiet was restored, Gen. Har-
rison spoke briefly to the crowd. The
train pulled out at 1875. Governor and
Mrs. Foraker will attend the party as far
as the Pennsylvania line. Shortly after
leaving Columbus the presidential party
retired for the night.
Morris tribune., 1889-02-27

The following Sensible remarks in rela-
ton to taxing mortgages from the Min
neapolis Star we fully endorse:
An organization of the Minneapolis real
estate dealers has appointed a commit
tee to prepare bill to be submitted to
the legislature removing the tax on mort
cages. This is step in the right direct
ion 1t is something in which all classes
of the community are interested as we'll
as real estate dealers. A tax on mort
cages is in effect double taxation. The
land pays one tax upon its full assessable
value, and if the mortgage is taxed the
same value, pledged as security, pays an
other. 1t is useless to say that the capt.
alist who loans the money is reached by
the tax on mortgages, because he adds
the tax to the rate of interest, and the
borrower, the owner of the. land, has to
pay it. Thus he is forced to pay two
taxes, simply because he is poor and un-
able to pay cash down for his land, while
his wealthy neighbor, who can pay all
cash, is let off with one tax. This il an
unfair discrimination against the poor
man, the borrower. But the broad argu-
ment in favor of the non-taxation OF
mortgages is that it would bring down
this rate of interest. This is an important
consideration in a new state like ours,
which is constant borrower from the
older communities of the East. With nc
taxation on mortgages it would be much
easier to borrow money on real estate
and it could be borrowed at considerably
lower rate of interest. Thus this measure
would fetch capital here and infuse new
life into trade.
