BOTH HORs DE COMBAT,
But the Library Association Drew FIRST
Blood in the Set-To-The Highest Bid
Offered Was S13I.OOO.

But the Library Association Drew First
Blood in the Set-To-The Highest Bid
offered Was S13I.0OO.
Judge Slagle yesterday called Judge
Stowe into consultation regarding the inter-
vention of the Library Association in the
matter of the sale of Library Hall by the
Sheriff on the mortgage held by Mr..
Felix R. Brunot, and on which
Mr.. Charles J. Clarke appears as the
mover in a manner which at present ap-
pears to subject himself to criticism by some
of the people opposing the sale. Judge
Stowe decided to allow the sale to proceed
with the understanding that the Library
Association should have the right to offer
objections subsequently to ratification. His
Honor regarded the matter as too serious to
be disposed of without due consideration
and argument
On the whole the Library Association are
disposed to be satisfied with the shape In
which the controversy is left.
Said one: "It gives US what we have been
trying to get, time for funding, but at the
same time it somewhat complicates the sit
uation. The proceedings so far make the
proposed gobble more difficult, but we are
thereby forced into an apparent fight with
people whom we do not wish to antagonlze;
people who are friendly to u.s."
The property was offered at o'clock P. M,
but before bids were entertained the follow
ing notice by Messrs. McClung and Neeper,
Esqs., on behalf of the Young Mems Mer-
camille Library Association, was given ana
read by Mr.. Marshall:
Notice is hereby given that the mortgage
which is the basis of the judgment on which
the present writ issues, was executed by the de-
fendant without authority. The holder OF the
bond was member of the Board of Directors
said want of authority, and said defendant was
trustee Of the Pittsburg Library Association,
which is the equitable owner, the defendant
this sale will take no title to the property.
Thus handicapped, bidding began, $1,000
being the first offer. At first there were
number of bidders, among them John
Walker, once a member of the firm OF Car
negie, Phipps & Co. They dropped out one
by one until Mr.. A. Thomson, of the
law firm of Thomson & Son, and
John M. Kennedy, Esq, the latter
representing the parties wanting to
force the sale, were the only ones lett. Aft
er rising to S1OO, 900 the bids fell off to S4O0,
to $500, and finally there was rest at S131,-
600, Mr.. Kennedy's bid.
Notice was given of the priority of a $780,
900 mortgage held by the Shields estate and
$l00, 900 by the West Penn Hospital.
There was then powwow between Messrs.
Kennedy and Holmes, the latter trustee of
one of the mortgages, when Mr.. Kennedy
stayed the writ and the sale was off
The matter will come up again in court
for hearing on the 9th inst

In Excellent Spirits-Not Likely to

,BY CABLE TO THE DISPATCH!
LONDON, September MARY Anderson
is visiting VIM. Black, the novelist, at his
house, Kilichrenan Lodge, Oban, in the
Scottish highlands. She is in the best OF
health, and her gayety, high spirits and
geniality have quite won all Scotch hearts.
She spends her time walking, rowing and
yachting, or in visiting neighboring places
of interest with Blacks pretty children.
She informed representative of The DIS
PATCH, who called upon her at Oban, she
should remain in Scotland until the middle
of October, but should not return to the
stage for long time. 81 intend to have
real rest and mean to play" she said.
Concerning the rumors disseminated in
America regarding her recent illness, Miss
Anderson said: 'The statement that L was
on the verge of insanity had not the slight
est foundation in fact, and I shall be
obliged if you will let all nv American
friends know ii. I was simply suffering
from exhaustion caused by excessive
fatigue. My doctors told me to rest and I
am following their advice, and, she added,
with gay laugh, "enjoying myself i'm
mensely."
Miss Anderson's appearance isa sufficient
refutation OF the rumors that she had suf-
fered permanent physical or mental injury
She has never looked better in her life, and,
as she says herself, has never enjoyed her
self more.

SIT is impossible to escape from the con-
clusion that many and open acts of interven-

OF course 1 have not seen any agreement,
contract or protocol that may have been
signed by General Hippolyte, nor his al
legged engagement to cede to the United
States that part of Haytien territory known
as Mole ST. Nicholas, together with its
splendid harbor. 1 know, however, that it
is believed that General Hippolyte agreed
to such a cession. As for me, have not con-
sented to part with one inch of our national
territory. By the unitv of Hayti, by its ma
tional independence, have always stood,
and to that course shall devote my whole
life.
"As to the United States, have always
admired it, and believe that Hayh can be
immensely benefited by friendly relations
with such powerful neighboring republic.
But / do know that any attempted occu-
patton Of part of Haytian territory is
fraught with immense perils, and that no
Government can last in Hayti which makes
such an unpatriotic concession.

SAYS HE SHOT ST. CLAIR,
Remarkable Story of Man In Cincinnati
An Incident Connected.

An Incident Connected.
The story related by one George McCor-
mick in Cincinnati is remarkable, if true
He appeared at police station and desired
to be locked up as the man who burelarized
several stores in Williamsburg last spring,
and fired a number of shots at Mr.. st Clair,
of Penn avenue, who had tried to -epulse
him. Mccormick stated that he was from
Greensburg, Pa, and that he had recently
heard that a man named Frank Fieds was
under arrest in this city for the burglary
and attempted killing, and that he wanted
to save an innocent man.
Assistant Superintendent Roger O'Mara
takes no stock in the story, and telegram
from Greensburg reports Mccormick as un-
known in that city.
Cyrus Alshouse, of Point Perry, Who was
arrested by the Williamsburg Vigilance
Committee just succeeding the attack upon
st. Clair, and incarcerated in Squire Creel-
mans Office for several. hours upon sus-
picion OF being the burglar, has'brought
suit for $25, 900 damages, claimed on account
of his detention in jail. His acquittal took
place when he was placed ON trial. The
parties named in the suit are Samuel Creel-
man, William Ross, Frank Cunrod, Will
lam Linn, William McCloskey, Floyd Ross
and George G. Welsher.

GREAT DEPRECIATION.
In the stock Of two companies alone this
depreciation represents sum OF $50, 900, 900,

the companies is in chancery, and the rest

municipality will take over the entire dock
system of London, forming harbor trust

The directors hope the present struggle will
have hastened this solution, because they
actually cherish the belief that Parliament
will not pass bill which does not provide
for purchase at original cost. This would
be about SS5, 900, 900, but in open market

A VAGRANT VISCOUNT.
The Heir to Vast Estates Arrested for An:

rBY CABLE TO THE DIsPArcH.1
LONDON, September 1.-Two more mem
bers of Britain's nobility were in the police
courts this week in the persons of Viscount
Hinton and the Viscountess, who were
charged with causing nuisance by playing
their barrel organ in front Of a hotel, after
they had been ordered to desist. The Wis
count is heir to the noble Earl Poullett, of

conceived dislike to the Viscount, because
he was born only five months arter the no
bleman had made love match with Eliza
Savine Newman, the daughter of a pilot,
a simple village maiden, who had had
lover before she married above her station.
Being born in wedlock, however. the Vis-
count is heir to the earldom and estates, but
the Earl has steadfastly refused to MAINTAIN
the offspring of his Countess.
The Viscount, therefore, after having run
through all post obits he could raise on his
prospective estates, has been obliged to OBJ
tain Livelihood. He was at one time a
clown and pantomimist at the Surrey Thea
ter, but for the last year or two has played q
barrel organ in the streets. He married
ballet dancer who figures in the peerage as
"Viscountess Hinton, where their offspring,
who follow the organ and pass the cup for
pennies, are solemnly registered as Hon.
William Henry George Hinton, and Hon.
Maud Marie Hinton.
Earl Pouelett, who is 81 years of age, has
been doing his best since the birth Of the
Viscount to dispose of everything possible
on his estates SO that his heir may inherit as
little as need be. The entailed estates fail
to the Viscount in spite of the Earl, but he
has cut down all the timber on them and re-
duced their value as much as possible, dis
posing as well of every foot of land that is
not entailed.
The Viscount was fined 40 shillings for
causing nuisance, and her ladyship, the
Viscountess, was discharged with a caution.

Men Suspected ofthe Walls Station Assault

The special officers of the Pennsylvania

Cox and Nichols at Walls, on Friday after
noon, Mr.. Nichols has so far recovered

able to leave his house yesterday.
The four men arrested Friday evening
were arraigned before Magistrate Gripp, at
Central station, yesterday morning. WAY

charged. The magistrate and the police
were satisfied that they were not connected
with the assault. The same cannot be said
for the other pair, Henry McArdle and
Andrew Eagan, who were taken from a
freight car. They were sentenced to 20
days in the county Jail for trespass. They
will be obtainable if any positive evidence
against them should be discovered.

LONDON, September THE Austrian
newspapers are limiting that the disaster to
the Shah's train was not quite so much a
matter of accident as first reports endeav-
ored to show, and point out as coincidence
that the Shah is not favorably regarded in
high quarters in st. Petersburg. No sane
person really imagines that the Gar would
adopt Nihilist methods to get rid of a
brother sovereign, however obnoxious he
might be, but the mere insinuation of such
a thing in Vienna shows the feeling which
exists in Austria against all things Russian.

A RED HERRING TRAIL.
The GIadstonians Will Oppose a Catholic

The Gladstonians Will Oppose a Catholic
University for Ireland.
IBY CABLE TO THE DIsPATcH.1
LONDON, September THE Glad
stonians have formally announced that they
intend wrecking Balfour's Catholic Uni
versity scheme if possible. The Ulster
Orange members have called great meet
ing to denounce what they term these
iniquitous proposals." and Michael Davitt
bitterly opposes the scheme, which he
designates as red herring trail across the
home rule scent, which of course describes
the whole situation in a sentence. Some of
the English county members of Established
church proclivities are also fuming, so
that even if Baliour gets his proposals
adopted by large majority he is certain to
leave deal of soreness behind among his
own immediate followers.
1t is remarkable that so little has been
made of this matter here, considering the
importance of the subject, but the public
apathy is clear index of the weariness of
the people of all things appertaining to
politics.
Mr.. Gladstone has already expressed him
self against the scheme of giving Ireland
Catholic university on Balfour's lines.
