AFRAID FOR THE ORPHANS.

Charlotte Smith, ofIhe w. n. /. L., Dissatis-
fed With Gnyrrpor Beaver She
Thinks Ciiquc> aud Rings Arc Running
Thing-.
John F. Bair agent of The Wheeling Soap
Company, at No. - Virgin alley, Pittsburg
last evening received the following letter from
Charlotte Smith, President of the Woman's
National Industrial League:
WASHINGTON, ID. c., June q, 1889.
John +. Bair Esq, Agent Wheeling Soap Com
pany, Pittsburg:
DEAR SIR-I notice in the journals of this morn
ing that you were instrumental In getting up
medal for presentation to Majbr Armes for pulling
Governor Beavers nose.
inclose you letter addressed the Governor
in relation to the Johnstown orphans. Ihave
reason for believing that rings and ciQues are en-
gagged in the misappropriation of the funds gen.
erously contributed for the Johnstown sufferers,
and ask your cooperation In nno-
ing out the truth in this regard,
and if true. your assistance in exposing them.
The Governor has not yet thought proper to re-
spond to the purport of my letter, which con-
vinces me that any suggestion of mine, or the in
terpostion of others in the premises does not meet
his approval, or engage his interest.
am authorized by the Senate Committee to in
vestgate the status of industrial women. etc., and
If the question comes before the Legislature L
would ask your cooperation, etc.
but have private correspondence there. Please
answer. Yours ETC., CHARLOTTE SMITH.
The letter of Charlotte Smith to Governor
Beaver, to which reference is made in the fore
going, was written June 10, and was published
in the Washington Post of June II. In it she
SAYS that she notices in the papers that the
Waits Mission is doing noble work in Johns
town, but suggests that while it reads well, yet
the children of the Johnstown disaster should
be the wards of the State of Pennsylvania.
The State should establish home and provide
for them until they arrive ar the age of dis
erection. They should have an industrial,
practical education. Generous impulses,
she says, are spasmodic, and those who volun-
teer to take care of the children may tire of
them when those impulses sueside and the
waits may be made slaves and mistreated IN
the end. Mrs. Smith says she has seen so much
of the workings of so-called charitable institu.
tions that she is convinced that it is the duty
of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to erect
an orphan asylum on the heights above Johns
town, and keep them there. 1t would be a
burning disgrace to great State like Pennsyl-
vania, She says, to farm out the children to sat
isfy the greed, avarice and aims of private in
dividuals.
Mr.. Bair will look into the matter, and keep
Mrs Smith advised of the results.

Ended Her Own Life.

Mrs. Sophia McCleary, an aged woman visit
ing relatives at 339 Frankstown avenue took
her life early yesterday morning while suffer
ing from temporary alteration of mind caused
by insomnia. For several days she had been
under the professional care of DR.. Fulton, but
her mental condition did not improve. She
secured the pistol with which the deed was
committed from her sons room, and muff1ed
herself up with pillows in order to deaden the
sound, and no one knew of her death until sew
eral hours afterward. Mrs. McCIeary lived
in Colorado for several years. The Coroner's

A DETRIMENT TO THE FUNDS.
So Says Milton Weston of the suarI Between
the Relief Committees.

Milton Weston was in the city yesterday, and
left last night on the New York express for the
East. At the Union Depot he said that the
authorities in Chicago were much exercised at
the way in which the different relief commit
tees intended to distribute the contributions
for the sufferers. The committee in Chicago
have now $50. 900 in their hands, and they have
decided to send q man to Johnstown with the
money and give it to the sufferers.
He thinks that the snarl among the various
committees has been very detrimental to the
sufferers, because the people out West have
closed their pockets on account of it

SOLD OUT TO. THE STANDARD.

The Producers Association Disposes of its
Stock 10 the Monopoly.
A dispatch from Oil City, received last even
ing said: 1.-THE Derrick has positive and en-
tirely reliable information that the producers
oil, which has caused so much concern to the
speculative trade. was sold to the Standard Oil
Company at today's closing market"
This has been expected for some few days
past, as the six months option given the pro-
ducers to sell their 6,0O0000 barrels of oil had
expired, and there was much conjecture as to
what would become of it. It has been whispered
that Joe Craig was endeavoring to control the
producers possessions, but a prominent broker
said lasC night that If Mr.. Craig wished to buy
that oil he would be compelled to pay higher
price than the Standard, and this, of course,
would be nonsensical. The monopoly was
bound to have il. and it has been conceded to it
by all brokers and oil men. This will necessa-
rily curtail further the already paucity of GER
tifcates. s,F
The oil market was weaker yesterday at the
close, caused probably by the anticipated oc-
currence. 1t is said that the producers real
lied about 5 cents per barrel upon it. The
compact between the Standard and the Pro-
ducers' Protective Association is an old story.

Lower. Allegheny.

Lower. Allegheny.
One of Allegheny's big sewers that drains the
Woods Run district caved in on Bayard street
yesterday and considerable damage was done.
1t is q six-foot sewer and at the point where it
caved in was 20 feet from the surface of the
street. Street Commissioner William F.
Meese was notified and at once went to the
scene of the accident. He sent a man down to
examine as to the extent of the damage to the
sewer, but as there was danger of another cave
in he called him back. About 80 feet of the
sewer has fallen in, and il is believed large
portion of the sewer has been damaged. Mr..
Meese cannot estimate the loss or the cost of
the sewer. f'.a
He says the recent heavy rains have choked
up the sewer and q break has been expected.
A gang of men will be put to work this morn
ing to repair it and efforts made to prevent an
overflow that will damage the property in the
neighborhood. ----- ----------
Another break occurred yesterday, it being
three-foot sewer on the Perrysvllle road. Sew
eral cellars were flooded by the accidents.
