their work. / am extremely sorry that Mr.
Nicholson was not more successful. He is
a perfect gentleman, being courteous, pleas
ant, polite and very nice in his converse
tion. He tried to do everything to get the
money, and the failure is no fault of his.
"1lr. Nicholson says that we would have
500, 900 admissions to the Exposition in a
year. l will 60 farther, and say that we
will have a million. To get these people,
though, we must have something better than
penny show.
~ think that month from now will see
us in much better shape than we are now.
For the past week and next week merchants
have been busy and will continue to be busy
taking stock in their stores. When they
see how they stand and how much money
they have made the past year, they will
come in with good subscriptions.
1T MAY BE DELAYED.
'There is one thing certain, if we do not
get more money very soon, there will not be
any exposition in this city next fall. An
exposition cannot be built in 30 days and
the people should not put the matter off any
longer. The merchants should take it up
at once so there will not be any more delays.
II wish every member of the society
would 90 down to the Point aud see the
buildings as they now stand. Then they
would come to the meeting and redouble
their efforts to raise the money.
"There are over 500 subscribers in the
society, and they are worth on an average
about 100000 each. Where could you get
more tangible wealth?
"We have 6nly about S140, 900 subscribed
for. All of this has been paid in with the
exception of about $4,000. We had $4,000
subscribed on condition, S., 600 was promised
by William Thaw and another $1,000 BY
Andrew Carnegie if we got s., 900 each from
three other gentlemen of the city. When
this offer was made we thought that we
could easily raise the other $4,000, but Mr..
Nicholson has gone to every person almost
in the city, but could not get one-third the
amount. Unless we raise the $4,000 we
will not get the subscriptions from Mr..
Thaw and Mr.. Carnegie.
81 cannot, for the life of me, imagine
that, in city of SO many wealthy men,
three could not be found to subscribe 5000
each. From the date of the formation Of
the society l have not for one moment
thought otherwise than that the Exposi-
ton would be built, and it will be an Ex-
position that Pittsburg citizens will be
proud Of. In conclusion may say that the
scheme will not fall through"

TO BUENOS AYRES.

A Pittsburg Firm Ships Its Engines to Every
Quarter of the Globe-1,500 Feet oi
Lumber Needed to Pack One.
Pittsburg locomotives are now shipped to
every part of the civilized world. Theil
levers are operated by the hand of the
japanese engineer as we'll as the dark.
skinned engine driver of the South Ameri.
can Governments.
Messrs. II. X. Porter will. in a few days,
ship six engines to Buenos Ayres,
Argentine Republic, South America. to be
used on a railroad which runs between that
city and the coffee plantation lying out in
the country. They are OF special sizes, with
9-inch cylinder and a 16-inch stroke. A
young Lawrenceville mechanic, Mr.. Will
lam Byers, will accompany the engines to
their destination and superintend their re.
construction.
The greatest obstacle to be overcome in
shipping of such freight to foreign markets
is in packing them. Each of these engines
have been put together in their works, and
have been subjected to severe test This
is necessary as the contract demands that
the engines must prove entirely satisfactory
before they are accepted by the railroad
company. They are then taken apart, and
each piece of the engine is packed in a
separate box, which is made expressly for
that purpose. About !, 500 feet Of the best
hemlock lumber was required to pack one
of these little engines. They are shipped to
New York, and from thence by sailing
vessel to their destination.
Each is supplied with automatic and
steam brakes. The airbrake has not vet
been introduced. The couplings also differ
slightly from engines used on American
railroads. The furnaces are so constructed
that either coal or wood can be used as fuel.
This is the first shipment of engines ever
madeto Buenos Ayres by this firm, who enjoy
the reputation of being the first firm to in
troduce an engine in Eastern Asia.
A model engine is now being constructed
for the Worlds Exposition to be held in
Paris during the coming spring. 1t is e1-
pected to win the first prize in the e1hibi-
tion of light locomotives.

Judge Patton ColIectins Material for Life
of Stanton-His Glowing Tribute to the
War Secretary.
Judge Benjamin Patton. of Hicksville,
O., is at the Monongahela House. The
Judge formerly lived in Pittsburg. and is
well known here. He has come to spend a
few weeks in the city, and will take ad-
vantage of his opportunity to collect ma
terial and "reminiscences for a life of Ed
win NJ. Stanton. The Judge wrote what he
knew about the distinguished Pittsburger,
and the gentlemen getting out the book
were so well pleased that they asked him to
furnish more facts about Mr.. Stanton's life.
The Judge would be pleased to receive per-
sonal "reminiscences of the war secretary in
the possession of anyone in the city. Judge
Patton said yesterday afternoon:
Stanton was an exceedingly brusque man,
anG his manner made him lots of enemies,
more than there was any necessity for. knew
him we'll Judge Greer, Stanton and myself
were warm personal friends, and l understood
both men perfectly. Judge Greer often told
me that he regarded Mr.. Stanton as the ablest
lawyer of his age. He was indeed a remarkable
man. Even if he hadn't the temper he had his
personal traits and manners would have made
him unpopular. The South cordially hated
him. They thoroughly despised the man who
worked SO hard to defeat them.
Now, it is commonly said that Stanton COM
mitted suicide, but that is not true. He died
from the effects of a severe cold. l never
knew a man who had a greater desire to live.
After the war. when he was appointed Chief
Justice of the United States, he had reached
the height of his ambition. He was anxious to
live to enjoy the office, but he died soon after
ward. His tastes and previous training amply
fitted him for the position.
When he was Secretary Of War called on
him one day in the War Department. He was
suffering from violent cough that made his
frame Quiver. / told him at the time if he
couldn't check that cough it would kill him,
and it did.
Mr.. Lincoln had faithful and true adviser
in Stanton. He was always candid and open.
The Emperor Diocletian resigned because, as
he said, he couldn't penetrate the veil of un-
truth around him, but Lincoln never had any
reason to suspect Stanton.

HYPOCHONDRIACH'S DESPAIR.

Family of One of Them Into Destitu.

II Drives Two of Them to Suicide, and the
Family of One of Them Into Destitu.
tion-A Sad and Singular Coincidence.
Two Pittsburgers tried suicide Saturday
and yesterday, and one of them succeeded.
The Coroner will hold an inquest on the
body of DR.. Paul Gawrzyjelski, who took
his own life last Saturday afternoon by tax
ing an ounce of laudanum, at his home, ,2727
Carson street, Southside.
The doctor came to this city last June
!. from Indianapolis, where he had been en-
ployed as a journalist on the Telegraph. a
German newspaper of that city. The man
now dead has been in this country since
1869. He was professional journalist, and
had been a writer on German papers In
New Orleans, Chicago, New York and Mil
waukee.
In Indianapolis, however, he suddenly
conceived the idea that he ought to study
medicine. This he did, and was graduated
from the Medical College in Indianapolis.
But ever since he has been unfortunate.
He came to this city and hung out his sign
on Carson, near South Eleventh street.
Later he moved up to Brownstown, but he
had no success in either place. He had
wife and four children, and it is supposed
that his extreme poverty caused him to
commit the deed. His wife stated to a
reporter last night that her husband was o
very highly educated man, who could speak
five languages and had written poetry and
novels in German and Polish.
Drs. Moss and Rahauser held a post
moftem examination upon the body Of the
the result of it until this morning at the in
quest. 1t was admitted, however, bv one of
them, that he believed the man had COM
mitted suicide.
Case No. 2: Joseph Crawford, fnisher
employed at McKenna's brass foundry, !
tried to commit suicide yesterday afternoon
at the Bank Exchange Hotel, by stabbing
himself with a pocket knife. For some
time he has been on spree, and for two or
three days has been going through the an
healing process known as 'tapering off.
Yesterday he could get no liquor and, be-
coming temporarily insane, went to his
room. The occupant of the adjoining cham
Der heard him cry out:
"I've done it I've done it at last p
Upon rushing into the room the man
found Crawford lying upon the bed with
the blood streaming from gaping wounds in
his breast. He said he was tired of life and
wanted to die. He is said to be son Of
Samuel Crawford, of Brownsville avenue,
Southside. He separated from his wife
some time ago. He will recover from his
wounds.

A STRANGE COINCIDENCE.
One Man Arrested for Putting His Wife Oul
and Another for Being Put Out.

One Man Arrested for Putting His Wife Ouf,
and Another for Being Put Our.
There were only two cases before Mayor
Pearson, of Allegheny, yesterday, but they
were of very peculiar character. One was
arrested for putting his wife out of the
house, and the other was arrested for being
put out of the house by his wife. L. J..
O'Brien, of Sandusky street. was taken into
custody by Officer Boyd at the instance of
his wife, who claimed that her husband had
elected her from the house. He got 4S
hours.
Patrick Wright was found by officer
Richardson asleep in the doorstep of his
house on Preble avenue. The officer told
him to go into the house when he said that
his wife had put him out and that he could
whip any copper on the force He took a
ride in the patrol wagon, and got FIVE
days sentence.

Why Washington Territory Should be Ad.
u1ittcd Into the Union,

W. a. Kneeland, of Tacoma, Wash. T.,
is stopping at the Duquesne Hotel. He is
interested in the construction of the Mason
County railroad, 3S miles long, in Washing
ton Territory, and is looking out for rails
Mr. Kneeland stated that the people of
the territory are anxious to be admitted as
a State. He claims that they have more
than the necessary number of people, and
they are not afraid of the population de-
creasing, as in the case of Nevada. The in
habitants are engaged in numbering and
agricultural pursuits, occupations that are
permanent and not like mining, merely
temporary. He hopes to see the Territory
admitted as Republican State during the
year.
Mr.: Kneeland formerly lived in Brad
ford, and before he went West tried to buy
the Haymaker gas well at MurrysviIle.
He hadn't heard what had happened SUBJ
sequently, and when he learned the fate of
Weston and Bowser, he said he was glad he
didn't purchase.

Soldicrs-A Blank From the Second
Auditor Bears Him Out.
In direct contradiction of the denial of
United States Auditor William A. Day,
and various newspapers, Private Dalzell
has again written THE DISPATCH, and
clinches his arguments by printed blank
from the front Office
He says he has not been misinformed, but
both officers and men are collecting mileage
for every foot of ground travelled from
place of discharge, and for returns and reg
ular per diem pay, and that he can collect
such bills for nothing, and the proof is on
the back of every discharge certificate in
black and white, unless it has been paid be-
fore, Transportation furnished"
The Second Auditor is right in saying 5
cents mile is not paid technically, but it
is called Gravel pay" and is collectable un-
der decision of the Supreme Court of the
United States in an opinion given in full.
Dalzell encloses the following blank from
the Second Auditor, which, he claims, set
ties the question beyond doubt:
