Halls ROMANCE.

The ball was over Carriage after carriage
rolled up to the magnificent portal, and each
in its turn ratified off amid the clatter and
laughter of its occupants.
Leaning on the arm Of an elderly gentle
man stood a beautiful girl, hooded and
cloaked. The two were evidently awaiting
their carriage, for the old gentleman NUT
tered irritably.

told Joseph particularly to be here on time.
The girl paid little or no attention to her
companion. Her eyes were directed toward
finely built young fellow who was talking
earnestly to a friend
"Will he not even bid me good nightT she
thinks, tears starting to her eyes.
At this moment the gentleman and his
friend walked out into the street, arm in
arm.
At this juncture their carriage drove up,
and after administering to Joseph reproof
for his hardness, the old gentleman handed
his fair companion into the vehicle, followed
and slammed the door to. Joseph spitefuly
cut the off gray with his whip, and they
were whlrled rapidly away.
AT the next street they passed the before
mentioned gentleman and his friend; but he

lips, nor the tear laden eyes that looked out
upon him for a second as the carriage flew
past. And yet, strange to say, the young
men were at that very moment speaking of
her. The younger was saying:
Hal, why the deuce did you act so coldly
Il might say, almost rudely-to Miss Thorne-
dale to-nightf Why, it was the talk of the

GAIN IN LOSS.

What wrong, pray, is possible for thee
To do my life: True, thou mayst idly Stay
The love that waits not on thy yea or nay,
But it will rise to purer heights and be
More perfect through the pain thou gavest me.
The mortal dies that the immortal may
Escape the bonds that hold but to betray.
Love knows not Love indeed till Love is free
That which we peril heaven itself to gain,
And lose in gaining, we through loss shall find
Diviner for the cleansing fires of pain
And Love unbound, and seeking not to bind,
Rises above the sefhood that was slain,
A god no longer sensuous and blind

SUNEEN COAL BOATS.
Pittsburg Operators Say They Will Only
Recover About 80 Per Cent.

Pittsburg Operators Say They Will Only
Recover About 80 Per Cent.
The regular meeting OF the Pittsburg and
Southern Coal Company was held yesterday
in the Iron Exchange. The Secretary read
the December reports of the amount of coal
raised out of the Mississippi river at Nine
Mile Point Landing, near New Orleans. 1t
will be remembered that on the night of
August 20 last, during one of the worst hur-
ricanes near the Gulf of Mexico, over 100
loaded coalboats belonging to Pittsburg
firms were wrecked near New Orleans, and
every bushel of the coal was sunk to the
bottom OF the river. Some of it lay in go feet
of water, and was extremely difficult to getat.
The Pittsburg and Southern Company, an
organization formed to sell the coal of the
firms in the association, set to work to re-
cover the coal They secured dredges with
large steam grip cranes and managed to lift
some of the coal from depth OF over so feet.
The grip catches like the claw of an animal,
and, when closed and full of coal, resembles
an immense cage, holding about so bushels.
The firms that lost the coal now say they
will not recover 80 per cent of the $500, 900
worth of fuel lost, and, in addition to this,
to prevent the formation of more sandbars,
they will have to wreck nearly every one of
the sunken boats. The work of recovery is
done at enormous expense. Each boat con-
tanned about $4,000 bushels, and was valued
at about 200.

SHUT OFF THE OUTPUT.
A Proposition to Close Number of Window
Glass Factories.

Proposition to Close Number of Window
Glass Factories
AT the annual meeting of the Window
Glass Manufacturer Association to be held
in Washington January l6,a proposition will
be made, by Pittsburg manufacturer, to
order the shutdown of number of factor
les, in order to relieve the glutted condition
of the market, and consequently force
prices up little. Every manufacturer in
the business says prices are lower now than
ever before, and it is all due to the large
number of factories started up within the
past two years. The primary cause for the
erection of the new factories is natural gas,
which most of them were given free. Fuel
is great item of expense about a glass
house, and the gas bills of some of the Pitts
burg manufacturers amount to $40 per
month for each pot. As the new factories,
located in the new fields. did not have to
pay this, they were enabled to make the
glass cheaper, and in order to get business,
they cut prices very low and succeeded in
almost running the trade.
As the new factories are now in the asso-
citation it will be proposed that, as their fuel
does not cost them anything, they can
afford to shut down. The idea is to shut off
this output, and pay the owners of the fac
tories an equal share in the profits of the
factories running.
If the owners of the new factories refuse
to shut down then the proposition will be
made to Pittsburgers.

Enough New Goods Taken From One sus.

ETwo-Is She n Fences
A batch of officers, including Assistant
Superintendent O'Mara and Detective
Coulson, were engaged last evening assort-
ing pile of goods of the most heterogeneous
description, which had been taken from two
upstairs rooms inhabited by Barbara
Koinski, at No. 40 Mulberry alley. The
woman is supposed to have formerly lived
at 277 Ohio street, Allegheny. According
to the story, she yesterday went into Krln-
kle's drygoods store, No. 1349 Penn av-
nue., where it was discovered she had gotten
her hooks on some goods that she did not
pay for.
Complaint being made, Station Officer
Cromley made an information against her,
and she was taken before Judge McKenna.
Subsequently search warrant was issued
and Officers Coulson, McKelvy, Brophy
and McAleese accompanied Barbara to the
house. She was stubborn and refused to
open the door for them. but they, BY blufing
and threatening to smash it with hatehet,
succeeded in making her weaken, and she
gave them full swing.
They first went through two big Saratoga
trunks and, loading a wagon, brought to
City Hall a collection that would fairly
stock general store. There were shawls,
nuibias, lambrequins, spool thread, women's
hats, mems caps and shirts, rubber coats, 20
pairs of pantaloons, boys caps, a consider
able amount of toweling, toy watches,
gloves, shawls, rugs, so yards imported car
pet, silk handkerchiets, caps, jewelry (such
as bracelets, finger rings. etc., chamois
skins, hose, shoe soles, spittoons, something
like an expensive altar cloth and great
many other articles.
Some of the goods are quite expensive, and
the woman's appetiteiseems to have been om-
niverous. As the goods could not all be re-
moved at one load, Officer James O'Hara
was put on guard, and it was thought he
might strike something in the way Of aclew.
1t seems scarcely possible that the woman
could have accumulated all the stuff by her
own exertions, and it is thought by some
that she mas been keeping fence" She
stubbornly refused to tell anything that
would enlighten the officers.
John Koinski, the husband. through
whom the police received information
sufficient to guide them inteIligently,
appears like hard working, lnoffensive
mill-man; but his good appearance did not
save him from being locked up also.
Barbara says she bought the carpet, and
one would be disposed to believe her, as a
shop-lifter who could conceal 80 yards of
heavy carpet about her person, let alone
carry it, would be phenomenon.
Mrs. Koinski picked out number of
articles which she said she had paid for, but
refused to talk regarding others to which
her attention was called.

THEY DON'T WANT 1T.
Indignation Meeting of Ninth and Eleventh

Ward Citizens.
At meeting of 200 citizens of the Ninth
and Eleventh wards, Allegheny, last night,
about the classification, John Richards, of
the Ninth ward, was made Chairman, and
J. L. Boardman, of the Eleventh ward, and
Thomas Morris, of the Ninth ward, acted as
secretaries.
Ex-Councilman Shipman said: "Let US
tell our representatives in Councils that we
don't want it. Keep the city government
as it is, or better if it can be done, but we
don't want to be compelled to accept Pitts
burg's charter. 1t is only a step by the
bosses toward consolidation, and we GER
tainly don't want that"
Select Councilman Charles Hartman
thought the recent conference of repre-
sentatives of the various cities did not fully
understand the full import Of the matter,
and might take different action if they had
the matter more fully explained.
The following resolutions were adopted:
Resolved, That we the citizens of the Ninth
and Eleventh wards, after careful considera-
tion, protest against going into cities of the
second class, and we therefore request our rep
resentatives in Councils not to take any action
that would lead to placing us in cities of the
second class
Resolved, That a committee be appointed to
confer with and act with committees from other
wards.
Mr.. Richards said he thought nine wards
ought to get away with four in a fight in
Councils This closed the meeting. The
Committee on Conference consists Of VIM.

ALLEGHENY CHARTER
Another Meeting of Citizens Protest
ing Against the Change.
A DIFFERENCE OF LEGAL OPINIONS.
City Solicitor Elphinstone's Statements
Contradicted.
A NUMBER OF MASS MEETINGS HELD

Select Council chamber in Allegheny
City was crowded last night by citizens 10
hear the explanation of City Attorney
Elphinstone as to the advantages to be de-
rived by the city from the new charter. He
said the city must either be Of the second or
third class, notwithstanding the suggestion
that had been made that this city could have
special legislation. The latter was contrary
to the Constitution. He predicted that the
forthcoming decision of the Supreme Court
in regard to the classification of cities would
make but the three classes If the Wallace
act was ignored, nine cities, with a popula-
ton of half million of people, would be
without uniform system of government.
School districts would be entirely wiped out
of existence, and everything would be in
chaos.
To remedy this it would be necessary to
have legislation for all Of them on the same
basis as for one.
THE ONLY ALTERNATIVE.
If the people of Allegheny did not make
choice as to whether they would 60 into
the second or third class, the Legislature
would make it for them, and they would be
forced to content themselves with the
change. The proposed act Of Assembly
would give the city two years to determine
whether the city should have the same de-
partments as Pittsburg or not. In the
meantime they could ascertain what the e1-
pense was to Pittsburg and how the smaller
cities got along in the third class.
If the city decides in favor of the depart
ments, they can be adopted BY ordinance.
If not, they can 60 into the third class by
changing the classification.
MI. Elphinstone then explained what the
change would be in case the city entered
either the second or the third class.
MI. George R. Riddle next addressed the
meeting. He said he did not think the
city had to enter either the second or third
class, and asked what would they gain by
so doing. II they went into the second
class,
THEY WOULD BE BURDENED
with cumbersome machinery like Pitts
burg, which would necessitate large in
crease in taxes. HeSays the present charter
was adopted prior to the constitution, and
the latter should not affect them on this ac-
count The city had never accepted the
Wallace act, and the forthcoming decision
of the Supreme Court would have no appli-
cation to Allegheny City.
James B. Young said the act of 1874 still
stands, and the Legislature had not enacted
any law compelling them to 60 into either
the second or the third class. The Supreme
Court has decided that classification itself
is not unconstitutional.
A resolution protesting against making
the municipality second class city was
adopted. A copy of the resolution will be
sent to each Representative in the House
and copy to Senator Rutan. A commit
tee of five was appointed to secure legal
opinion on the matter from George Shiras
and D, 7. Watson.
