STILL DOING BUSINESS.
The Rumor That the Lawrence Bank Has
Fniled is Unfounded.

The Rumor That the Lawrence Bank Has
Failed is Unfounded.
The absence of President w. W. Young,
of the Lawrence Bank, who is on fishing
tour on the Kankakee, gave someone the
impression yesterday that there was trouble
in the institution, and about 10 o'clock in
the morning crowd of several hundred per-
sons surrounded it, clsmoring for their
money.
They were in highly excited state, and
a tremendous run was made on the bank,
but it kept its door open and met all de-
mands without difficulty. Many of the
larger depositors were satisfied with the as
surance from the officials that the bank was
all right, but the smaller ones did not leave
until they got their money.
Thomas Stewart, director in the bank,
stated last night that the report must have
been started by some old woman who had
attempted to draw money without the Gus
tomarv previous notice. He stated that the
bank was in an excellent condition, pay
ing per cent dividends, and had
some of the most prominent business men of
the city as stock kholders. A reward of $3.50
will be given TOR the apprehension of the
person who started the rumor. The bank
itself was not closed at all yesterday, and
remained open until o'clock last night, to
give assurance to its depositors.

Discourses OH What He Saw Mt the Gas
Light Convention in Baltimore.
Captain Addison Lysle, President of the
Allegheny Heating Company and Vice
President of the Allegheny Gas Company;
Major Denniston, of the Standard Gas
Company; j. h. McElroy. Superintendent
of the Pittsburg Gas Works; Rob
ert Young, Superintendent of the

Superintendent of the Allegheny Heating
Company; James McCutcheon, President
of the Allegheny Gas Company, and Her
bert Hostetter, President of the Pittsburg
Gas Company, returned home yesterday
morning from Baltimore, where they at
tended the seventeenth annual convention
Of the American Gas Light Association.
1t is body composed of gas
owners and engineers. In conversation
concerning -the convention, Captain Lysle
said: Sessions were held op Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday. There were about
200 delegates. We think we have model
gas works in Allegheny, but the gas works
in Baltimore are the finest in the country.
They were visited by the delegates, and
their inspection was very interesting. They
29-candle power. About all we can reach
here is 20.candle power. The light fur
nished there is very fine, and the result
saw at the hotels. They are generally
illuminated by gas. About the only cleo
trio light used is a. Brush arc light in
the main lobby. 1t used to be that all gas
was made out of coal. Now the best made
is water gas and oil gas, in a COM
bination. We were treated royalty at
Baltimore. Thursday night there was an
exquisite banquet and on Friday we enjoyed
an excursion on the Chesapeake.
''Next years convention will be held in
Savannah, Ga. THERE'S souvenir brought
home with me-" The Captain indicated
small gas meter, shaped like tiny circu-
lar clock on a pedestal, which stood upon
his desk. 1t is of nickel plate and contains
the inscription, Presented by the Maryland
Meter Manufacturing Company to Ameri-
can Gaslight Association, October 1S, 1889. I"

Soldiers Discuss Corporal Tanners
Successor and Pension Matters.
CAPT. LYSLE TALKS OF GASLIGHT,
Superintendent Malone Says the Federal
Building is all 0. Z.
OUR POSTMASTER PRAISES BASEBALL.
That wheeling Channel Span Matter Referred to Mr..
Morse for Action.

The appointment of Green B. Raum to
the position of Pension Commissioner,
created but little surprise in soldier circles
Yesterday, except that expressed as to the
quality of his soldierly record, which, as
General Raum served in the Western army
is not very familiar to ''the boys" of the
Potomac Several times the opinion was
expressed that it needed star on the
shoulder to get into the planetary orbits Of
the Washington Department, as the stars
of general and the stripes Of corporal do
not seem to work together as harmoniously
now the Tag is safe as when it was in
danger To the question, "What do you
think of Raum's appointment" the follow
ing replies were obtained:
Major James L. Graham-"I don't know
anything more of him than his record as an
official. which I understood was clean and
showed energy. think the appointment
good one." Major W. D. Moore-"Raum,
let me see, he was the, man that did that
ment is very odd one, very odd. I cannot
understand it, c. f. McKenna-"Yes. 1
heard this appointment was made of
broken-down politician. The administra-
tion had to go to the political graveyard to
get him." Captain Willey-"He may be
all right but nevertheless think it was
blank big mistake to remove Tanner"
Major j. T. Denniston-''Ffom what 1
know of General Raum's reputation take
him to be a cool, level-headed man, in fact
the kind of man needed for the position, and
this wish to say without any disparage-
ment to Tanner, who is personal friend of
mine"
Captain Crosby Gray: "Raum may be
good man; don't know him. He may
have all the cardinal virtues and few
extra ones, but I'm still for Tanner; I'm
staying right by Tanner" II. H.. Ben
cough. "Don't know him as a soldier.
Had no opportunity Of meeting him
through any of the organizations. sup
pose he is all right, but l think that as
soldier he is not generally known"
Judges Collier and Slagle thought the
appointment good one and that the affairs
of the Office would be fairly and promptly
administered. General AL Pearson thought
the appointment good one.

THE BUILDERS TO DECIDE.
Harry Brown Says the Wheeling Muddle
Has Been Referred TO Henry Morse.

Harry Brown Says the Wheeling Muddle
Has Been Referred TO Henry Morse.
Captain Harry Brown said yesterday: ST
have received letter from Mr.. R. 81. Coch-
ran, the President of the Wheeling Bridge
Company, in which he says that our re-
quest for them to keep open the shore half
of the channel span while the repairs are be-
ing made has been referred to the Edgmoor
Bridge Company, of Wilmington, Del. of
which Henry Morse is President. He ex-
presses himself in favor of the request, but
intimates that the right hand half of the
channel span will be the part kept open.
''That will be great hardship on US, be-
cause it will throw our tows upon the head
of Wheeling Island. That is the way they
put us off: Baird Bros, the sub-contractors,
referred US to the bridge company, they
refer us to the Edgmoor Company, and they
will probably refer us to Baird Bros. I
understand that the contractors are going
ahead to close up the shore end Of the chan
mel, leaving us passage of about 225 feet"
Captain W. B. Rodgers said that he had
been informed by one of the members of the
firm of Baird Bros, that the shore end was
being closed up. Captain Rodgers and
other river operators are decidedly dis
pleased, but are not prepared to say what
they will do about it.

MAI. JOSEPH F. DENNISTOS.

He Discusses Hardness In Granting Pen.
sions 20 Deserving Soldiers.
Major Denniston, while speaking yester-
day on the Pension Commissioner question,
said: ut did seem little out of place to
have lot of clerks earning from 81 200 to
81, 500 per annum rerated and get their
pensions, of which they were not in need,
while many poor old fellow who has had
his application in for years has been and is
disappointed by delay.
II have known a case myself in which Q
poor woman whose first husband was .
soldier and her second worthless drinking
fellow, was put off and put off until three
months before she died. It was lucky she
got her money when she did, as she was
enabled to place it where her husband could
not get it, as that was all he wanted when
he married her. l know of good many
other cases in which personally interested
myself, and have written the department
about where expect the poor old fellows,
who are in actual need OF the money, will
die before they get it, and their heirs who
did not earn il will have the benefit.
Sand yet" said the Major, with q sigh,
"a United States Senator gets rerated and a
lot of well-paid clerks also get remembered.
Verify, to him that hath shall be given"

FRED G. BROWNING.

A New Telephone Turned Ont by the Menlo
Park Wizard TO Surprise the World.
Mr.. Browning, Edison's special agent
from Menlo Park, who has been in charge
of the phonograph exhibition in the Pitts
burg Exposition, said last evenings: "Mr.
Edison has just completed a new phono-
graph which is automatic in nearly every
particular. One must admit that the pres
ent machine. such as we have had on show
here. is rather complicated in its mechanism
for practical Office work.
A novice becomes discouraged sometimes
when he tries to learn how to operate it.
The new machine is daisy. We have re-
ceived information Of its perfection only
this week. The same sounding board acts
as receiver and repeater by simply throw
ing switch, while in the present machine,
you know, they are separate. Mr.. Edison
is constantly studying how to simplify this
wonderful machine, and he has made an in
strument now which is eminently intended
for practical purposes. 1t will very soon be
on the market"
Mr.. Browning thinks it likely that he will
go from here South, probably to Mexico, to
look after Mr.. Edison's interests there.

The Allegheny Committee on the Subject
Meets and Grant Concessions.
The Allegheny Committee on Street Rail-
ways met Last night and considered several
ordinances relating to business of that kind.
They granted permission to the Pleasant
Valley Company to lay tracks on California
avenue and Sedgwick street without the pre-
caution of binding the rails with Belgian
blocks. The ordinance of the Northside
Railway Company was referred to sub
committee, consisting of Messrs. McAfee,
Neeb, Bader, James Hunter and Ober to
consider its requests and report back to the
committee.
The ordinance of the Pittsburg Union
Railway Company was ordered on file. The
company is about the same as the Union
line and the right of way was asked over
certain streets already given to the cross
town railway.
An ordinance prohibiting persons under
Is years of age from getting on and of mov-
ing street cars was referred to the Committee
on Ordinances.

TO DINE WITH HARRISON.
An Important Disclosure Made to n City
Editors Astonished Ear.

A man shambled into The DISPATCH
local room last night and remarked that he
had an item. Conjured to disclose he hauled
out very much dog-eared picture of Presi-
dent Harrison and stated that be was going
to dine with "that party" next Monday by
special in vitation of h r. II. Russell Har-
rison.
"How will you get there?" inquired the
practical young man at the desk. glancing
suspiciously at the elderly habilments and
sere and yellow leaf hat of the visitor who
had such happy prospects of stretching his
legs under Presidential mahogany. Per-
haps, however, the hopeful man was Mon
tana constituent of Russell's who had
reached Pittsburg on his way to the White
House, and could no longer restrain his
bursting importance.
But no. The hypothesis wouldn't wash.
The answer Of the visitor as to ways and
means of locomotion was: III shall borrow
the money from my friends tomorrow"
Sunday is dreadful hard day to bor-
row." remarked the city editor, contem-
platively.
Then the boss opiimist got offended and
withdrew Micawber in his palMiest days
of turning up was clearly eclipsed in his
widest imaginings.
