THROUGH SLEEPING CARS.
The B. & O.'s Changes in Running Trains to
Favor Pittsburg.

Favor Pittsburg.
Under the Baltimore and Ohio schedule
taking effect to-day, through sleeping car
service between New York, Cincinnati,
Chicago and St Louis is established. This
service was interrupted in 1884 by the Penn
sylvania Railroad refusing to haul Baltimore
and Ohio trains. This new arrangement is
effected by reason of Baltimore and Ohio
traffic arrangement with the Reading and
Jersey Central roads.
In this connection it may be said that the
Baltimore and Ohio will, from to-day, run
through trains east from Pittsburg independ-
ent of any Eastern or Western connections.
Most of the trains from Pittsburg went as far
as Cumberland, where they connected with
trains on the main line. In many instances
the connections were late and passengers
were forced to lay over few hours.
On the other hand, if the Pittsburg train
was behind the trains on the main line usu-
ally did not wait. Hereafter this trouble
will be avoided by running through trains
from Plttsburg.
1t was the intention to run trains from
the new depot to-day, but the building is
vet to be touched up in a few places, and
Superintendent Patton concluded to open
the station for the first time next Sunday.
Division Passenger Agent Smith will
begin his mountain excursion business on
the 30th of May. After that the regular
summer Sunday train will be run to Ohio
Pyle.
In the theatrical line the 'tRanch King
will go over the road to Washington. and
the Knight Comedy Company to New York.

CHARITY UNANAREs.
A Woman Pays the Taxes of n Man She
Does Not. .Know-Duplicate Assessments
-CuriOeftier In DeIInoueuey

A Woman Pays the Taxes Of n Man She
Does Not. .Knew-Dupiicafe Assessment
-Curiosities in Delinquency.
Every day the clerks in the Delinquent
Tax Collectors Office are called upon to
straighten out some puzzle. Duplicate
assessments perhaps cause the most trouble.
One man, for instance, who paid his taxes
to the ward collector when they were due
has received four different dunning cards.
Each time he was compelled 10 waste time
and energy in climbing to the fourth floor
of Municipal Hall simply to show his
receipt. He says he expects the fifth postal
card soon.
But the clerks were puzzled yesterday. A
woman named Mrs. John Hamon entered
the Office, and finging down one OF the dun
ming cards, remarked in trembling voice
that she thought it was real mean for
rich city to impose upon poor woman;
The card said her taxes were not paid and
a penalty would have to be attached. Mrs.
Hamon declared she had paid her taxes to
the City Treasurer But the books upstairs
showed she had not. Then she triumph
antly produceda receipt from the City Trea-
surer.
"But you have paid the taxes on another
mans property" said the clerk after exam
lining the receipt. His name is John Har-
mon, and the name under which you are as
sessed is John Hamon."
The woman had apparently never noticed
the ''r" in the name on the receipt. The
books showed that Mr.. Harmon does own
property in the neighborhood of Mrs. Ha-
mons.
''You will have to pay your own delin-
quent taxes here" she was told. ''It is un-
fortunate that you settled the other mans
taxes FOR him, and the only way to get that
money back is to get petition introduced
in Councils asking that it be refunded"
Some such instances occur almost daily.

The frantic efforts Of the more shameless
suburban lot boomers" to steal the effect oi
the Sheraden Co. advertising and forestall
its market at the great auction sale on
Tuesday next. by hurried auctions and free
rides in the meantime, is amusing, and
would be provocative of anger as it is of
contempt, were it not for the certainty it
will be greatly to the advantage OF Sheraden
if every one at the sale on Tuesday shall be
able of their own knowledge to compare the
splendid 100 feet fronts at Sheraden with
the 20 feet at "Willowswampville," "El-
derberry Park. etc., etc., or even with city
lots, 40 minutes from the P. o., on the grip
line, at $40 to $50 foot front, with better
lots 20 minutes from P. o. at Sheraden, at
S. to SO foot. So the Sheraden Co. says
to the public, go by all means and see these
"alleged suburbs" and find out the prices
and terms, and to the boomers it says, come

A GOOD MAN SELECTED.

CaptaIn Mccormick Has Been Appointed
Ticket Agent for the B. & o.
Captain J. J. Mccormick, the well-known
steamship and city Passenger Agent of the
Lake Erie road, has been appointed ticket
agent Tor the Eastern connections of the
Baltimore and Ohio road.
The B. & o. from this time will make a
strong bid for Eastern business, and better
hustler than the genial Captain could not
have been selected.
In his extensive steamship trade he has
had the good fortune never to have had one
of his passengers lose life or limb, and he is
proud of his record. The business of the
b. & o. or the Lake Erie will not suffer at
his hands.

LAW STUDENTS MOOT COURT.
Brilliant Arguments Submitted by tn,
Embryo Lawyers.


The regular session of the law students
moot court was held in Orphans Court
Room No. / yesterday. The case tried was
that of the Commonwealth versus Ashworth,
for alleged perjury. The criminal informa-
ton grew out of the defendants false swear
ing in previous case.
The prosecution attempted to prove that
the defendant had taken an oath and wick
edly and knowingly violated the same.
The attorneys were Messrs. Goss and Carthey
for the prosecution, and Dunn and McKirdy
for the defense
The time of the court was much occupied
in deciding points in dispute. Mr.. McKirdy
raised the point that the District Attorney
had not signed the indictment, but was over
ruled by the court. The defendant was ac-
quilted. Hon. Thos. NJ. Marshall acted as
Judge,

EMPEROR AND SULTAN.
Germany's Powerful Ruler Welcomed
by Europe's "Sick Man."

The Emperor William telegraphed to Prince
Bismarck yesterday as follows: 'Yildiz Kiosk
IL am--Have just arrived here. Fine weather.
View beautiful beyond description"
Upon his arrival the Emperor William was
cordially greeted by the sultan. After partak-
ing of refreshments the two monarchs drove to
the Yildiz palace in a carriage, under the es-
cort of a squadron of cavalry. The sultan and
the empress sat on one side and the Emperor
William and Prince Henry on the other. The
sultan exchanged a few phrases in French with
each of the guests and then relapsed into abb
solute silence. Herr Won Radowitz, acting un-
der instructions from Prince Bismarck will at
tend with Said Pacha the business interview
between the monarchs.
The semi-official press of Berlin no longer
denies the political importance of the visit. The
North German Gazette of Saturday night stated
that if the intentions of the emperor are real
lied the conferences at Constantinople will
create fresh guarantees of peace based upon
the general principles of Prince Bismarck's
policy and will strengthen the Dreib,ad
The meeting OF the two sovereigns was quite
change from what the world has been used to
witness OF late. The kaiser did not wear
Turkish uniform, and the sultan adhered to
his native turban and baggy trousers. His
sublime majesty made no attempt to kiss his
German brother. and the latter contentedly
gripped the sultan's brown hand without pro-
ceedlng to closer personal acquaintance.

Story Of the Fate of the Cherry Vale
Murderers.

In Parsons when the report was rife ten years
ago that "Old Bender" and his wife had been
found in Colorado, says his Investigations at

der and Kate have not been found in Michigan.
Working in Parker's Office at Parsons was an
Indian boy who said that his father saw the
whole Bender family killed in 1875. Parker in
teryiewed the old Cherokee, who told him that
while hunting he saw a camp fire down in a
valley about dusk, and as he was looking at it
saw body of horsemen approach, kill an old
man and his son and then an old woman and
her daughter. The latter fought as desperately
as the men. After this they killed the horses,
piled all together in a heap-the wagon, men,
women and horses-added brush and burned
them up, burving the burned debris. The old
Cherokee detailed the surroundings so infinitely
that Parker, with the Indians son and ED"
Davis. printer, easily found the spot, and by
digging unearthed harness irons, wagon tires
pieces of chain, &c. This convinced them the
old Cherokee's story true. Parker says
that In 1S79he went to see Col. York, the leader
OF the pursuers of the Blenders at Fort Scott,
and asked him what he thought of the reported
capture of the Benders in Colorado. His re-

would tell the fate of the Benders but until
