MUST BUILD a BRIDGE.
Chief Bigelow Makes His Own Terms With
the Duquesne Traction.

Chief BiSelow Makes His Own Terms With
the Duquesne Traction.
Superintendent Rice, of the Duquesne
Traction Company, had conference with
Chief Bigelow yesterday in relation to the
bridge, or trestie, the company is erecting
with Forbes street. The bridge is TO be CON-
pleted this week, and Mr.. Rice desired to
know if it would be necessary to make il
suitable for teams 10 drive over it. He said
he thought that as the company intended to
have the space under the trestle filled in as
soon as it could be done, it might not be
necessary to build for teams.
Mr.. Bigelow thought differently, and told
Mr.. Rice that he must either make bridge
for teams to cross or else keep a watchman
at each end of the bridge until the fill-in
is made to keep teams from attempting to
cross.
This proposition was unexpected by Mr..
Rice, but be said it was not unreasonable
and would be followed, though he could not
say for day or two which end of the propo-
sition would be adopted. He In 'ormed Mr..
Bigelow that the bridge would be arranged
ior foot passengers in any event.
The company was also notified by Mr..
Bigelow not to begin tearing up Grant street,
between Fifth and Sixth avenues, until after
next Sabbath. The reason for this is that
the reopening of the Cathedral will take
place on that day and az immense crowd is
expected. Under such circumstances if the
street was torn up, it would cause great in
convenience.

the gift would be accepted, still he was going
TO defend the Sabbatarian cause. He said he
had a right to stand on that floor and do so,
and he intended to. Because a certain gen.
tleman saw fit to give the library $40, 900
that was no argument why he should be en-
titled to run it. As to gifts, they were
always open to consideration On one
occasion the devil led Christ up to
the top of mountain and offered
him a large section of the earth, but the
gift was declined. In the present instance
he would not vote for the Phlpps donation,
with its attachments. Mr.. Cochrane's re-
marks were also productive of some enthusi-
astic outbursts
The arguments were continued much in
this strain until after 10 o'clock. When the
vote was finally taken it resulted in its
adoption by vote of 10 to 6, Messrs.
Snamau and Rynd coming over to the side
of those who favored the acceptance of the
gift.
A remonstrance signed by D. B. Wilson,
OF Allegheny, against keeping the library
open on Sunday, was received and read
during the evening. Mr.. Wilson stated
that the tender of the money by the gentle
man was not a sufficient reason for keeping
the library open. The Sabbath law formed
part of the legislation of the Com
mittee, and Christianity part of its
common Law. Another point was that the
working people would not be benefited, as
men would have to violate the Sabbath law
in attending the library, and this would
furnish an example that would lead to
graver violations.
The chief routine business transacted
during the evening was the election of Miss
Leo Koch as steuosrapher.

a distance OF 65 feet, breaking almost every
hone in his body and fracturing his skull.
He died at the Mercy Hospital last night.

GAS FOR sHARPsBURG.
The Hills Overlooking That Town Soon to
be Dotted With Derricks.

The Hills Overlooking That Town Soon to
be Dotted With Derricks.
There is great deal of property being
leased on the quiet along the West Penn
Railroad, in the vicinity of Sharpsburg.
Since oil was found at Sharpsburg, it is sup
posed there is both oil and gas in and
around the hill overlooking the town. This
theory has been verified from the fact that
there are rich minerals of several kinds all
through the hills. In one of them there are
several kinds Of fire clay, of which some has
recently been tested and found to be almost
equal to the best of Virginia fire clay. On
Locust hill there is a vein of ore containing
about 90 per cent of iron, but rather too much
phosphorus; and in another hill there Is a
vein OF limestone, said to be the best of any
in the State.
There are also several small veins of good
coal, some are almost near the top and
others about the middle of the hills. In
O'Hara township, about two miles from the
town, wells are now being put down with
the view OF getting oil, and from all indica-
tions the prospects for oil are very favorable
1t is now almost certainty that derricks
will soon be found along and on top of the
hills overlooking Sharpsburg and Etna.

SAYS 1T WOULDN'T PAY,

Mr.. Logan Condemns the Ohio River as an
Outlet for Oil Producers.
Mr.. A. H. Logan is not much taken with
the plan to use the Ohio river as an outlet
for the producer against the Standard Oil
Company. He SAYS the distance to the sea-
board is too far away, and unless the oil
could be exported there is not sufficient
market in the South to make the business
profitable.
To use New Orleans as a port would be
very dangerous on account OF the hot eli
mate. In that country the oil would gauge
we'll, as the heat always expands it, and in
refined oils there is nothing left to evapo-
rate.
MIR. Logan states that such plan was
worked in times past by way of Richmond,
but it was finally abandoned as failure.

TEACHERS OF THE BIBLE
HOLD A MEETING IN THE FIRST PREsBY.
TERRAIN CHURCH.

The President Thinks the Institute Has
Outgrown Its Use.julness-Dr. Holmes
Tells of a Method of Teaching-Layine
Corner Stones and Advanced Bible
Study. @
President Lilly, of the Presbyterian Sab.
bath School Institute. seemed rather dis.
couraged yesterday and suggested that there
was not enough sympathy between the
Church and the institute. For this reason
be thought the institute had passed its days
of usefulness. But the members seemed to
think different and the meetings will
continue. -
At the afternoon meeting, Rev. R. S.
Holmes, D. D., made an address on the
question, "A Method of Teaching" He
took for his subject the lesson of Sunday,
and vent into an elaborate aud decidedly in
teresting talk about how it should be taught,
using his audience as a class. The manner
of teaching q class waO set down as: First,
see that the pupil has working knowledge
of the lesson; second, the tes: of the pupils;
third, teachers explanation; fourth, the
teachers test; fifth, best thoughts on the
lesson. DR.. Holmes said that he does not
favor prize giving and there is one prize
especially he objects to, which is the
progressive euchre prize.
The evening meeting OF the institute was
largely attended. The meeting opened with
devotional exercises, at the conclusion of
which the Rev. A. W. Spooner spoke on
Laying Corner Stones" The teachers are
the builders, and they are constructing the
great building of character Tor the inspec-
tion of the Master. The speaker laid great
stress on the care that should be used in
teaching children. He gave descriptions of
vain and sensitive children, and cautioned
the te1chers to bear IN mind the different
conditions and tempsraments, and teach
accordingly.
Rev. DR.. Purves spoke on Advanced
Bible Study" He said that this century
has made wonderful progress in knowledge
of Gods word as we'll as in sciences, but
there is still considerable room for improve
ment. He referred to the method of select
ing lessons, and, though it is good, through
it people know the Bible only in spots.
''Tbcre is plenty of room for further ad-
vance" continued the speaker, "and there
should be places in the Sabbath school
where books of the Bible should be taught
as a whole. They would then get clear
and correct know ledge Of the whole Bible
and the doctrines taught in it," To this
end the speaker favored the institution of
classes IN advanced Bible study in the Sab
bath school, and said that such a movement
would soon be put on foot. In conclusion
he asked the support Of teachers and super
intendents for it.

The Last Developments in the Southside
False Arrest Series of Cases.
The "false arrest" series of suits being
brought before Alderman Beinhauer, is
creating no little interest on the Southside.
Last night the perjury case of Mary Warnas
versus Charles Smith was heard. The case
is but continuation of the Michael Liston
affair.
Mrs. Warnas said that Smith swore
falsely before Magistrate Succop, that her
husband had been dIsorderly and, as a re-
suit, he was sent to the workhouse. Smith,
on the contrary, said that he had given no
such testimony, though a transcript of the
hearing before Judge Succop proved that he
had sworn as stated.
Alderman Deinhauer decided that the
affair was little too mixed up to decide
just what to do under the circumstances, and
reserved his decision until tonight.

and genuine brands only, and you will have
no regrets and no heartburnIngs.
At Kleber & Bro. S YOU can buy q piano
for $500, or less, which the other dealers
make you pay $500 for. Kleber & Bro. are
the only house which warrants its instru-
ments for eight years, and refunds the money

THE MURDER STILL A MYSTERY.

No Clue Yet to the Persons Who Assaulted
William Coltman.
The inquest on the body of William Colt
man, who was found lying unconscious in a
car at Mcdonald station and afterward died
at the West Penn Hospital, was commenced
by Cononer Mcdowell yesterday.
A number of witness were examined, but
none OF them could throw any light on the
assault except Squire j. A. While, who
testified to Coltman making an information
against Paul Averill. an Italian, for killing
a boy, and to the fact that the defendant was
acquitted owing to Coltman's absence. 1t
is supposed that Coltman was on his way to
the hearing when assaulted. o,
The inquest was continued until to-mor-
row morning.

DON'T LIKE THE CHANGES.

The New Schedule for Pennsylvania Local
Trains Fools Patrons.
Under the winter schedule of the Penn
sYlvania road the time of the local accom-
mediation trains has been changed. In some
instances the time for leaving has been ad-
vanced or reduced five minutes, and with
other trains the time is longer. The patrons
of the road do not like many of the changes,
and some who were accustomed to the old
schedules have missed the trains by few
minutes. Their kicks have been long and
loud, and one dissatisfied man said last
evening that it was funny that the road
could not maintain regular schedule with
out every now and then changing the time.
Under the circumstances passengers have
nothing else to do but to accustom tnem-
selves to the changes.
