He Explains Why He Murdered His Wife
His Health is Better and He Will be
Moved to Jail To-Day.
William 81. Smith, the colored man who
shot his wife at No. 124 Fulton street on
September 4, was last evening removed by
Detective Coulson from the Mercy Hospital
to the Central police station.
Smith, after numbering his wife at their
home, No. 124 Fulton street, attempted to
commit suicide by shooting himself through
the lungs. He has been in the hospital ever
since, and, while not altogether well, was
able to walk to the police station.
He talked freely to Detective Coulson, and
told him the whole story of the crime. He
said that his wife had driven him to desper-
alton by her amours with other men. While
he was absent from the city last summer he
learned that she was receiving the attentions
of barber. He discovered, on his return
home about the first of September, some let
tiers which she had received from him.
On the evening before the crime, he
bought quart of whisky at a wholesale
house on Fifth avenue, near Pride street.
He took it home with him and proceeded to
reduce the whisky surplus. His wife was
quarrelsome. He told her to go to bed and
sleep. He then sat up with the whisky.
By midnight the liquor had been nearly all
transferred from the bottle to Smiths
stomach. He was then in condition to COM
init murder. He took revolver from the
mantel, went to the bed and shot his wife
dead while she was sleeping. He then
tried TO kill himself, but was unsuccessful.
Smith will be removed to-day 10 the
county iail.

A SITE SELECTED.
The Allegheny Electric Plant to be Locnfed
at the Foot Of Monument HilI-The Duff


The Allegheny Electric Plant to be Locafed
at the Foot Of Monument HiII-The Duff
Co. VIII Stay.
The question as to the location of the Al
legheny electric light power house was set
tied last night when the joint sub Commit
tees on Gas and City Property met. They
passed resolution asking the City Property
Committee to frame an ordinance approprl-
ating the position at the base of Monu-
ment Hill lying west of the Hope engine
house along Martin street.
They asked that the Controller immedi-
ately advertise for bids for the excavation.
The original intention was to use the site
upon which the old armory buildings now
stand. The Duff Manufacturing Company
now occupy that building, and they were
notified to vacate within three months.
Last night the Duff Company sent letter
to the subcommittee, stating that it would
be impossible for them to move before No
vember 1, and even then it would
be at a great sacrifice to their busi-
ness, and asked to be given s., 500
damages. The company at the same time
submitted proposition agreeing, to paw
premium of $500 besides the annual rent.
if they were given 2O-years' lease on the
building they are now in. This letter was
laid on the table, the members in talking
over the question of site thought it would
be better to allow the Duff ombany to re-
main where they are, and as there is plenty
of room on the west side of the Hope en-
gine house that is at present of no practical
use, the plant could be located there.
The City Property Committee met after
the adjournmant of the joint committee,
and passed the ordinance asked for.

DIR. SH0RB'S HISTORY.
The Chloroform Victim Well Known
to Residents of This City.
HIS MARRIAGE WAS A SENSATION.
He Welded Society Belle and Was 0stra-
cised by Ais Family.
AN INGENIOUS DEVICE TO GET SLEEP

DR.. j. Campbell Shorb, who was found
dead in bed Tuesday in San Francisco,
was very well known in this city among
the older residents The people who read
the announcement of his sad ending and
who were familiar with his history could
not help but recall the prominent figure Dr.
Shorb cut in social circles, both in this city
and PHILADELPHIA. The old residenters will
remember the sensation he created in Pitts
burg at the time Of his marriage.
About 80 years ago, DR.. Shorb came to
this city from Emmettsburg, Md. He
began the study of medicine at the Mercy
Hospital, and became member oil the staff
of the institution. After being at the
hospital several years, he received the ap-
pointment OF Marine Surgeon at San
Francisco where he has been ever since
Before going away he became engaged to
Miss Sophia Dallas, of Philadelphia. She
was welI-known society belle of the
Quaker City and a sister Of W. w. Dallas,
an attorney of Pittsburg. At that time the
latter was prominent figure at the bar in
this city, but afterward moved West. Miss
Dallas was Protestant and Dr. Shorb was
deyout Catholic. The former refused to
become converted to the latter's faith and
they were not married in the Catholic Church.
His family and relatives denounced
the action and refused to recognize him
atterward. The affair caused quite sensa-
tion in social circles on account of the
prominence of the parties, and they i'm
mediately moved to the West. Frank Tier
nan, formerly of this city, who poisoned
himself IN Chicago few months ago, was
brother-in-law of Shorbs.
After leaving Pittsburg Mr.. Shorb vert
to California and there drifted into politics.
He was Democrat and filled many high
positions of trust. He was q confirmed
victim to the use of chloroform, and this
caused his death. He took enough of the
drug at every dose to kill an ordinary man,
and resorted to it to secure sleep. He
devised an ingenious apparatus by which
sponge saturated with the drug
was suspended directly above his
head and in close proximity to his
nostrils, while lying in bed. By means of
an automatic arrangement, when his head
dropped on the pillow, the sponge was drawn
up into the air, and out of his reach. He
tried to conquer the habit, but it grew upon
him every day. 1t was supposed that his
death was the result of an overdose of the
drug.
He was an inmate of private hospital a
number of times, but he could not be cured
of the habit. He has brother, who is
millionaire wine merchant in San Gabriel,

CROSS SUITS.
Two Brothers-in-Law md Their Wives
Entangled in the LAW.

Two Brothers-in-Law and Their Wives
Entangled in the LAW.
George Murray and William Mcguire are
brothers-in-law and live in the Twelfth
ward. Their wives, who are both young
and pretty, are sisters. A short time ago
Murray and his wife quarreled and she
went to live with her sister, Mrs. Mcguire.
Mrs. Maggie Murray made an information
before Alderman McKenna, charging her
husband with assault and battery. Murray
then made information against Mrs. Kate
Mcguire, accusing her of giving medicines
to his wife, Maggie, for criminal purposes,
and he also sued William Mcguire for
surety of the peace. The cases against the
Maguires were heard by Alderman Nc
Kenna at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Major E. A. Montooth defended the Ma
guires, but Murray had no lawyer.
Several neighbor women testified that
Mrs. Murray had told them of her
condition, and that Mcguire had said that
his wife fixed her sister. Murray then called
his wife to the stand. She emphatically
denied every charge made by her husband,
and exonerated her sister. Mrs, Mcguire
was discharged.
In the case of William Mcguire, it was
proven that he had threatened to beat his
brother-in-law. Major Montooth took all
parties aside, and after short talk effected
a compromise. The costs in the three suits
were paid equally by Murray and Mcguire.
Alderman McKenna delivered paternal
lecture to the young people. Murray and
Mcguire became reconciled, but Murray and
his wife could not agree.

SEWlCKLEY SALAD
Too Puugent for Some Taxpayers, But Dis
cussion Gives Road Makers a Pointer
Worfh Studying.

Too Puugent for Some Taxpayers, But Dis
Worth Studying.
Some Of the inhabitants Of Sewickley
complain bitterly. They say the borough
millage for Government schools. street re-
pairs, etc., is II mills, and this added to
county tax makes nearly per cent levy on
a largely increased valuation. Some claim
that there is very little work being done on
the streets and that the borough is paying
interest on $65, 900 worth of bonds at s per
cent and on other bonds aggregating in all
over $100,0
The complaint was laid before Il. L.
Williams and George Whitney, who both
came to the rescue of the bondholders and
the Sewickley government. They say that
the bonds were placed at time when even
Pittsburg could scarce get better; that they
went begging and only T. II. Nevin could
see anything in them at 5 per cent. They
admitted that it was somewhat hard to pay
interest on bonds at s per cent that might
now be placed at 4 per cent, but yet believed
their consciences would allow them to hold
them. They could say nothing as to the
charge that the Water Works Commission
did business in a corner.
Incidentally, in reference to the CON-
plant that but little was done on Sewicklev
streets, Mr.. Williams dropped pointer
we'll worth the attention OF supervisors of
county roads. Mr.. Williams states that
Sewickley streets are built by a cheap and
at the same time effective method, one SO
cheap that 1t might be followed with profit
in the farming districts.
First, a foundation is well laid of rubble
stone, but little attention being paid to size.
This is well settled and leveled by breaking
prominent points with knapping hammer.
On top of this bed is put foot of stone
broken finely, and on this coating of two
or three inches of gravel. This, Mr.. Will
Jams says, makes smooth and durable road
that will withstand heavy travel and can be
kept in repair cheaply. and all at cost OF
dollar linear foot on roadway being 20
feet in width.
AS Register Shafer remarks, a width of
Is feet is ample for country roads, so that
they could be built for 75 cents linear
foot, or less than $4,000 mile, and as the
majority of roads miles distant from the
Pittsburg city line are not more than 10
feet wide, they could be made good at cost
of 50, 500 mile.

HOW HE WAS HURT.
A Car Shifter's Amusing Adventure at the
Union Depot.

Union Depot.
Tom Pennyman is car shifter between
the Pennsylvania Railroad yards at the
Union depot and Thirty-third street. Tom
was nonplussed the other day, and in the
following manner: 1t is the custom for the
brakemen who run down the cars from
Thirty-third street to the depot yards to
walk back to the starting point when they
had deposited their cars, and Tom, for some
time past, had been swearing within his
beard at the time they took to accomplish
the distance and return. He decided at last
to see how they managed to put in the time,
and one day lately when line of cars had
been cut loose, he laid himself down in
car loaded with sand, and awaited develop
ments.
But they were otherwise than he expected,
for the switchman in the lower yards, see
ing the cars, as he thought, running away
promptly turned them into a siding with
the result that the car containing Tom and
the sand bumped with such violence against
the buffers at the end of the track as to
smash the car and bury Mr.. Pennyman in
the sand. He was rescued with consider
able difficulty, and yesterday he decided to
look with more lenient eve upon his 30
subordinates and their gait OF going.

gagged for three days. Wednesday, Thursday

James B. Scott said yesterday that the
visitors would be given an opportunity, not
so much of visiting art galleries and admir-
ing the architectural beauties of the city,
as to looking into the industrial enterprises

themselves with its methods of trade and
capacity for extensive commerce. TIe did
not see, however, how they could get any
thing approaching fair idea of the extent
of the city's manufacturing facilities in a
visit of couple of days, and hoped that

Masters yesterday in the case of Humane
Agent O'Brien against the firm of Winters
& Dellenbach, who were charged with buy
ing some 30 calves from the Sewickley
Dairy Company that were found to be too
young to be sold for food.
Agent O'Brien told how he heard of the
calves being shipped to Allegheny to the
firm, and learning they were very young
secured the assistance of Meat and Milk In

demned them. They found some of them
not more than a day or two old. Mr.. Del

differently refused to kill them. The case

Andrew Carnegie is Not Thinking of New
Chicago Road.
Andrew Carnegie, who has been in the
city for the past ten days looking after some
details of his immense interests, will prob
ably leave for New York to-day or to-mor-
row. A call was made at his Office yester-
day afternoon for the purpose of investi-
eating the published report in an afternoon
paper that he contemplated building coke
railroad from this city to Chicago. The re-
port stated that Mr.. Carnegie wanted d more
direct route to the West than the Pittsburg
and Western, and he would assume control
of line across Northern Ohio to Fort
Wayne. The road was to be part of the
Pittsburg and Western system, and would
go into Chicago over one of the Eastern
Illinois lines.
Mr.. Carnegie was not accessible at the
time, and the chipping was shown j. G.
Leishman, Vice Chairman and Treasurer Of
the company. He stated that there was no
truth whatever in the statement and the
report was without foundation.

WANTED IN ITALY.
Antonio Gallo Arrested Here for Attempted
Murder.

The following telegram was received from
New York last night:
Antonio Gallo. 26 years old, was taken before
United States Commissioner Shields to-day, to
answer the charge of trying to kill Carlo Car
lelletti in Faijano, Italy, four years ago. The
two men were rivals for the heart and hand of
the belle of Fajjano. Carlelletti won and mar
ried her. The night after the wedding the
young husband and Gallo fought at a village
ball. Gallo was worsted and swOre vengeance
On the next dav Gallo armed himself with a
double-barreled shotgun, which he loaded with
buckshot and scraps of iron. He went early tn
the machine shop where Carlo worked, and
secreted himself behind a large tool box in
front of which he knew that Carlo must pass on
his way to his work bench. When Carlelletti
entered the shop, ten minutes later, Gallo
emptied both barrels into his body. Carlelletti
fell to the floor apparently dead. Gallo fled to
the mountains and eventually sailed for
America, after learning that his victim, though
alive. was crippled for life. He settled in Mil
ford, Mass, but was driven from the town two
years ago for misusing little girl. He passed
few months in New York and then went to
Pittsburg, where he was arrested yesterday by
New York detectives at the instance of the
Italian Government. He was committed to
jail by Commissioner Shields to-day to await
the completion OF the extradition papers by the
State Department in Washington.
