and pleasant it is for brethren to dwell
together in unity" The Pioneer-Press
has recently sent two young men here,
neither of whom has ever had expert
ence in Washington life, but they are
doing exceedingly well. Unlike the
average new men on the Row, they have
not come here to show the old hands how
to attend to business.
1t very frequently happens on the
Row that some bright, young reporter
comes here, and immediately sets him
self up as an authority from his own
section; but very speedily they learn
that each one of these old correspond
ents has very fair set of brains himself,
and they simmer down. The st. Louis
Republic is represented by O'Brien
Moore. He is one of the brainiest,
jolliest, roundest, plumpest, most like
able fellows in the world. He knows
news, too, when he sees it, and dresses
il up in altisonant superlatives with
gaudy verbal adornmonts. Colonel L.
@. Washington represents the Picay-
une, and is one of the Oldest news
paper men in Washington. He is an
elegant Southern gentleman, dignified,
polite, cons1derate, keen, bright, an in
cisive writer, a friend of all public men
regardless of party affiliations, and re-
spected by all of his associates.
Just north Of the Baltimore & Ohio
building we come to the New York Sun
building. 1t is crowded. Several gen.
tlemen have desk room there. Mr.. Bar
~ represents the Detroit Journal and
Grand Rapids Times. Mr.. Wellman
represents the American Press Associa-
ton and the Chicago Herald. Bob
Vance, ex-Congressman from Connecti-
cut, represents the Sun, and is as
sisted by Mr.. Barry and Amos Cum
mings. They are a cotorie of educated,
refined, scholarly gentlemen, and the
Sun building is popular place on the
Row. Adjoining this building, on the
north, is brick which has long been
unoccupied. Mr.. Willard, its proprietor,
has acted like dog in the Manager about
it for many years. He is idiosyncratic,
wealthy, cranky in some senses, and the
boys have tacitly agreed to let him Sc
verely alone. In the natural order of
events Mr.. Willard will be gathered
unto his fathers, and then this building
will be occupied. We next come to the
Office of General Boynton, of the Cincin-
natl Commercially Gazette. There is no
ADLER newspaper correspondent than
General Boynton, and no more accom-
plished gentleman. He is reputed to be
. fighting character, in his correspond
ence; and it is true that his belt is filed
with the scalps OF public men who have
dared to cross him. But, with his
friends and associates on the Row, Cen
eral Boynton is one of the most kindly
disposed, genial, helpful men in Wash

boards are an essential feature and must
not be omitted.

Young Ladies' Behind the Bars Repenf-
ing Their Sins.
Annie Jones, whose testimony was DAM
aging to Eddie Myers in the recent Doug
lass murder case, and who was the only i'm
portant witness the prosecution had against
Myers, figured in another criminal case last
night. She was taken out Of a disorderly
house on Second avenue in company with
another young girl, who also came to Pitts
burg for the purpose Of going to destruction.
About o'clock yesterday afternoon a
message was sent to Assistant Superin-
tendent O'Mara that two young girls were
in No. So Second avenue. The message was
sent by the proprietress of the house. who
knew the girls would be better off il the
police station. Superintendent O'Mara sent
for the girls and had them brought to the
Central station. They gave their names as
Jessie White and Tillie Jones. The latter's
first name was Annie several months ago,
but has changed since that time.
Miss Jessie Is only 10 years of age, and
both girls are very pretty, though Of a coarse
type. Jessie said she had been living with
theatrical lady in McKeesport, but the
latter had given up housekeeping and threw
her out of position. She then determined
to come to P1ttsburg, and with Annie Jones
went to the house where they were captured
looking for woman Annie had met in Nc
Keesport about year ago. The girls will
be sent to some home. Annie's father
abandoned her, and her mother is dead.
Rosa Miller, of Cleveland, occupied
cell in the Central station last night. She
and Kitty Wilson walked into the station
about midnight Tuesday and were given a
place to sleep. They said their parents had
sent them to this city, and at the morning
hearing they were turned out by Inspector
McAleese The girls came back again and
the inspector sent them to the Bethesda
Home. Rosa raised such row there that
Detective Bendel had to be sent after her
and she was placed in cell and given an
opportunity to reflect.

SLEEP DRIVEN AWAY
By the Rattle and Bang Of the
Pleasant Valley Street Cars.
PROPERTY VALUES DECREASING.
Many Empty Houses Along the Route
Predicted for Next Spring.
CITIZENS ENDEAvoRING TO ESCAPE

The thunder and roar of the Pleasant VAL
ley electric cars, it is alleged, by the citizens
living along the route, have the effect of
depreciating the value of property along and
In the vicinity of that atcompany's lines. Some
claim property values have dropped 25 per
cent. Those who rent houses, it is claimed,
are looking for quieter locations, and the
others who own their homes are trying to
sell them and move to quarters where the
rattle and bang Of passing street cars will
not set nerves on edge all through the day,
and make sleep stranger the greater part
OF the night. In houses the noise is so great
that when the windows are open converse
ton has to be stopped every time car
passes. To talk on front steps is an impos-
sibility without the aid of an ear trumpet.
President James s. Young, of the ALLIE
gheny Public School Library Committee,
spoke OF the matter in an informal way alter
that body adjourned last night.
CAN'T STAND THE NOISE.
he said: "The noise is rapidly depreciat-
ing property all along the Pleasant Valley
route. There is no improvement, but it
rather grows worse. The tracks become
more shaken up and the wheels of motors
become warm and loose. People are actually
getting ready to move simply on this ac-
count. On Fremont street nearly everybody
is complaining. Two gentlemen named
Lovitts built two houses there some time
ago and went there to live New they are
trying to sell because they and their families
cannot stand the noise. 1t is especially
hard on sick people. They cannot get any
rest, and it is impossible to keep the house
quiet. All day the children are disturbed,
and at night rest is driven away. The noise
does not cease until after midnight, and it
commences again at $50. Already there
are number of empty houses. and by spring
there will be many more. The babies are
kept awake, and the continual roar is so an
moving that it is no wonder people leave"
This fact was referred to several months
ago, when the citizens of Highland avenue
protested against the laying of an electric
road on that thoroughfare. At that time a
large number Of affidavits to the above effect
were given by residents on Sandusky, Ohio,
Federal and Monterey streets and North
avenue. They all said their property was
being deprecated, and claimed the con-
tinual noise was nuisance.
ARCH STREET RESIDENTS COMPLAIN.
Since the new line has been run up Arch
street the residents there are complaining of
the same noise. Among them are Messrs.
Littell, Whitmore and Elias Katz.
On Anderson street the cars for all the
lines pass both ways, and the residents there
declare the din is terrible. William Alli-
son, resident of that street, said yesterday:
"Sleep is impossible. There is hardly a
minute of the day that cars are not passing.

OYSTERS WILL BIZ OYSTERS.
The Season Opens on Mopdny. but Prices
Will be Steep.

The Season Opens ON Monday. but Prices
Will be Steep.
It is said by dealers that "Oysters will be
oysters" this year. The season will open on
the usual date, but the product is yearly get
ting scarcer, and it is argued that. for the
good OF all, both dealers and consumers,
if consumption were prevented by law for
several years inevitable permanently high
prices might be STAYED off for a decade at
least. The breeding grounds are yearly be-
ing infringed upon, and Maryland has found
it necessary to enact very stringent laws to
regulate the taking. 1t is said that con-
sumers will pay at least 25 per cent more for
oysters this year than in the past.
In Maryland dredging can only be
prosecuted between October 10 and April 1.
The longing season opens on Monday next,
and closes April 20, instead of April 25, as
formerly. Tongers and rakers in some
parts of Maryland must pay personal tax
of 81 for each person engaged. and in Little
Choptonk river they are not allowed to 60
to work until September Is. Oysters less
than 21k inches long from hinge to mouth.
must be returned to their natural beds under
penalty of a fine o. 800 to $500, or imprison-
ment in Jail or house of correction. The
Oyster Exchange of Baltimore, has decided
to buy no oysters from violators of the law,
and asks all engaged in the trade. and the
civil authorities to join in enforcing the
law

expected rise and heavy current the trip had
to be deferred, and instead. the boat headed
for the Ohio and went as far as Beaver.
A business meeting was held, after which
addresses were delivered by distinguished
members of the organization. After the ex-
ercises of the day had terminated, the veter-
ans sat about on the deck and INDUCED in
reminders of the great conflict in which
they were actively engaged and lis
tened to the sweet strains of
national airs dlscoursed by the
band. Another pleasant feature of the re-
union which added materially to the enjoy
ment of the evening was the singing of %
trained male voices, who sang war songs
familiar to the old soldiers. After supper
the boat started on the return journey, and
while nearing the wharf the veterans Joined

NO ACTION TAKEN.

The Joint Police and Fire Committees Ex.
nminc n Telegraph Protector.
A joint meeting of the Allegheny Com
mites on Fire and Police was held last
night to inquire into system for the pro-
lection of the police and fire telegraph sys-
TENS. The device it was required for the
committees to examine was Browns tele-
graph protector, an arrangement that
switches off the current on the wires as soon
as there is more than the normal amount of
electricity, or enough to become dangerous,
sending 1t into ground wire. After the
appliance had been explained by the agent,
it was referred to Chief Jones to examine
and report to the committees.
As the Police Committee would have to
convene again on Monday night to approve
of the pay roll, no meeting of that body was
held last night, and consequently the
charges to be preferred against a number of
the officers was held over until that time.
