SENATOR HEARST has assured the
HERALD that he intends to come down
here to live. This will be pleasant news
to the people of Los Angeles. He states,
in so many words, that if Senator Jones
will sell him a thousand acres at fair
figure, he will set up his Lares and Pen
mates there, and combine tilling the soil
with enjoying the delightful sea air and
marine views OF Santa Monica.

The Excursion Line.

Since its advent into the Northwest
field about three years ago 'srhe
Burlington" has come to the front us
the favoritc line for large excursion
parties. In June 1885, this line carried
the Northwestern delegates 10 the
National Democratic Convention at St.
Louis by. special train to their entire
satisfaction. In the same month ..TLe

National Republican Convention at
Chicago, carrying in four days ovcv
-four thousand delegates and visitors to
that gathering. The knights Of
pythias also selected it as their line to
the Supreme Lodge meeting at Cincin-
natl. This year the teachers of Mime

reason is that this is the superior route

WHITE CAP THREATS.
Three Members Of a Southside Dra-
matte Club Receive Notices.
WITH INCENDIARISM.
Result of the Attempt to Burn the Allen,
town Turner Hall.
THE LETTER WRITER is SUSPECTED

THE White Caps have again begun to cir
culate their awful warnings. Last evening
one of these precious epistles was sent to
The DISPATCH Office, and three to the
George A. Smith Dramatic Company. The
purport of the missives was to warn certain
members of the dramatic company that if
they did not forthwith admit their implica-
tion in the incendiarism at Turner Hall,
Allentown. their lives would pay the for
felt. Joseph Haas, a member of the COM
pany, received the following letter:
Mr. Joseph Haas
sIR-You had better 90 and make a public
con fession and state that you were one of the
parties concerned in the incendiary and .dyna-
miting affairs of the Allentown Turner Hall.
If you do not at once do this, your life shall
be the forfeit WHITE CAPS, Junior Order,
Southsde Division.
Received Monday. September 30, 1889, night
Mr.. Haas stated last night that he could
not understand the motive that the White
Caps had in sending him such a message
The only reason he could assign was that
someone was jealous of the success of their
company. He said he was in no way impli-
Gated in the firing of the hall. The first
time he had ever heard of the fire was
through the columns of the papers.
George A. Smith, the manager of the
company, and a friend whose name he would
not divulge, also received similar commune
cations. He also stated that they had an
idea who sent the letters, but he thought it
would be safer to keep it secret until they
were in condition to reveal it.
The handwriting in all the letters was the
same, and the postmark indicated Pittsburg
as the place from which they were sent.

A CONDUCTORS CONDUCT.

The Right to Stand on Street Car Plat
forms Will be Tested Again.
l. N. Mead, conductor on the Citizens
Traction road, had partial hearing yester-
day before Alderman Porter, on charge of
assault and battery preferred by William
Major, of Frankstown avenue, East End.
1t appears that the conductor objected to
Mr.. Major standing on the rear platform of
his car, in the face of a recent decision of
the local courts to the effect that street car
passenger could stand where he pleased, if
be did not obstruct the passage.
Mr.. Major refused to leave the platform,
whereupon the conductor told him he must
either quit his position or the car. He
chose the latter alternative, and as he was
getting back his money he says that the
conductor hit him in the face, knocked him
down and kicked him savagelv. This morn
ing Major appeared with a much swollen
countenance, and two gentlemen and lady,
who had been in the car at the time, volun-
teered evidence corroborative of the en-
gineer's statement Squire Porter post
poned the case for further investigation at
the request of the Traction company.

The Citizens Traction Company Will Prob
ably Reduce Their Fares-The Magnntes
After the Central.
Mr.. James Werner, a prominent member
of the Board of Directors of the Citizens
Traction Company, was seen last night by a
DISPATCH reporter with reference to the
rumored reduction to cents of the car fare
to East Liberty. He said:
"No formal consideration has as yet been
given the question by the board, and no ac-
tion can be taken on it until Mr.. c. l..
Magee and other members return to Pitts
burg. 1 may tell you, however. that the
matter has been extensively spoken of in
the board, and the opinions of all the MEN,
bers at present in the city seem to be favora-
BILE to the idea of reducing the fares. I am
almost sure that the motion for reduction
will pass. l, for one, am thoroughly in
favor of it. The matter will be brought for
ward in about month, and think that it
cannot be considered sooner. The statement
in one of yesterdays evening papers to the
effect that meeting had been held and the
motion defeated is incorrect
PA. B. Widener and W. L. Elkins, princi-
pal owners of the Pittsburg Traction road,
arrived in the city last evening. They
stated that their visit had no connection
whatever with the statement that they were
trying to secure control of the Central Trac-
ton Company and extend its lines to East
Liberty. This would be much shorter than
via Fifth or Penn avenues, and it was stated
that the fare would be made cents.
The gentlemen denied this, and said they
were not trying to buy the other line. They
now sell 50-trip tickets for So 80, or at the
rate of cents per trip. This is about as
cheap as passenger can be carried over a
traction line five miles,

WEST PENN SHOWING.
During the Year 1858 Patients We're
Treated at the Hospital.
THE INSTITUTION OVERCROWDED.
Number of Typhoid Fever Cases Much in
Excess of Other Years.
ADDITIONAL BUILDINGS TO Be PUT UP

Superintendent Cowen, of the West Penn
Hospital, completed his annual report yes
terday. At the close of the last fiscal year
there were 166 patients in the hospital.
From that date there have been admitted up
to September so, 1889, 1857 patients, max
ing the total number of cases treated 1, ,S53.
The largest number under treatment at one
time was 233, the smallest number 164.
The number of typhoid fever patients was
$50. There were Al patients received into
the hospital during the Johnstown flood.
None of these cases were fatal, and all were
sent back to the ill-fated city. The aver
age number of old soldiers that lived In the
hospital last year was 25 per day. Out of
this number 10 died. The hospital is paid
to keep up the old soldiers dormitory.
IN GOOD STANDING.
The financial statement shows up well.
The total cost to maintain the institution
was SCI, ,038 IA, an average of SO cents for
each patient, including medical treatment,
clothes, wages and other things necessary to
run the place. The average cost of food per
day for the inmates was 80 cents.
Superintendent Cowen yesterday made
the following statement:
1.-THE work accomplished in the last year
by the hospital was varied and extensive.
We have been fearfully hampered by our
limited space. We only have accommoda-
tions for 170 patients, yet we have had 233
medical inmates in the house at one time;
63 more than our capacity. This state Of
things initiates against the health of
patients and the proper working of the insti-
tuition. In the typhoid fever ward we were
obliged to place 20 cots.
This overcrowded the ward very much.
We had to use the utmost caution to pre-
vent spread of the disease. This year we
have had an excess over other years in ty-
phoid fever cases. Our results in the treat
ment have been eminently satisfactory.
MORE BUILDINGS NEEDED.
In consequence of the overcrowded con-
dition of the hospital it will be necessary to
put up some additional buildings, so as to
accommodate the large influx of patients.
We are erecting two-story ward in the rear
of the east end of the main building. This
will enable US to take 30 more patients.
But this is only preparatory to further en-
largements. Early next season we will spend
considerable in making the front of the
building more beautiful
In spite of our limited room and the
large increase of our population, the deaths
have been proporrionately less than in any
other year. The private wards have been
well patronized this year. People are be-
ginning to recognize that this place is no.
tel for invalids, and not poor house, that
some people five years ago fippantly called
it. These private rooms have been occu-
pied by lawyers, merchants and other pro-
fessional men.

WAS PROBABLY DERANGED.

The Body Found at Hays Station That of
Mrs. Catherine O'Brien.
On Wednesday afternoon Mrs. Catherine
O'Brien, wife OF Michael O'Brien, started
from the family residence, No. 226 McCord
street, Southside, to go to the company store
of Jones & Laughlin, and since then her
husband had been unable to find trace of
her until yesterday afternoon, when his
worst fears were realized by finding the
body in Semmelrock's undertaking rooms
The body found at Hays station, Pittsburg,
Virginia and Charleston Railway, on
Thursday morning, proved to be Mrs.
O'Brien.
AS there had been no family trouble it is
supposed that Mrs. O'Brien was suffering
from mental alteration, and wandered up
the railway five miles to the place where
she was killed by a train. The body was
identified last evening and taken to the
family residence

TIE SCHOOL BOARD MEETS.
Another Preceptress Allowed, and Night
Sessions TO Begin.


Sessions to Begin.
The High School Committee of the Gen.
trail Board of Education held its regular
monthly meeting hast night, The bills for
September were approved. The report for
the month showed the total number Of
pupils enrolled to have been 724, of which
2s7 were males and 435 females. The per-
centage of attendance for the males was Sc
per cent. and for the females 81 per cent.
Principal Wood asked for an additional
preceptress in the Academical department
until the LIST of February owing to the in
creased number of D pupils. At that
time a new schedule for the year
will be made out, and Principal Wood,
Judging from former years, thought that the
d pupils would be then so reduced as not to
need an additional assistant. He estimated
that 20 D pupils would quit during the first
half Of the year.
The request was granted, but the election
was deferred until the next meeting.
At meeting of the Evening School Com
mittee last night it was decided to hold
night school session of 40 nights, COM
mencing November 4, and to slightly reduce
the average number of pupils required for
each teacher.

About year ago, a cargo of coke was
shipped from the Connellsville region to
England. The English coke masters
watched the progress of the product, and
saw it supplant the fuel Of England. Coke
can be made in the latter country cheaper
than in America, but 1t is of an inferior

TWO GIRLS RESCUED.

They Say They Are Determined to Travel
the Dow inward Path.
Assistant Superintendent O'Mara and
Inspector McAleese last night arrested two
young girls at No. 1919 Second avenue, on
complaint of Thomas Cumming, an ALLIE
gheny man and relative of the girls. He
says they ran away from their homes. The
names given by the girls are Kate Clark
and Madge Castleton. The former is 20 and
the latter IS years of age. Both are pretty.
They were very 10th to leave their adopted
residence and declared they would return as
soon as released.
Miss Castleton came here from Butler on
Tuesday. She is an orphan, but connected
with an exceptionally good family. Kate
Clark is an Allegheny girl.
