SENT BACK AGAIN,
Select Council Not Satisfied With the Park
Committees Work.

Select Council Not Satisfied with the Park
Committees Work.
In Select Councils the fun commenced
when Mr.. Kennedy, OF the Park Committee,
called up the ordinance relative to entering
into contract with Carson & McElwain for
the excavation on Monument Hill at the
rate of 81 81 per cubic yard.
Mr.. Cochrane objected on the ground that
it was too high and that the work could be
done for 81 per cubic yard. Bids for this
contract had been let twice and Mr.. Coch-
rane intimated that the three bids put in at
the last letting were practically from one
firm. The result was that the ordinance
was again referred back to the committee
and they were instructed to advertise the
third time for bids.
The ordinance authorizing the re-surfac-
ing of the park pavements was passed
finally and the action of Common Council
in regard to lights was concurred in.
Mr.. Lare offered resolution asking that
the Allegheny Turnverein Association be
exempted from taxes. Mr.. Henricks asked
that the Gas Committee be instructed to
erect 10 additional electric light towers and
100 mast arms, altogether 150 additional
lights. He proposed that 30 of the lights be
placed on the towers and the other hundred
be scattered In various parts OF the city on
mast arms.
Mr.. Henricks also introduced q resolu-
tion requiring the Street Railway Commit
tee to report an ordinance granting the
Perry Street Railway Company the right to
lay only one track on Green, Williams and
East streets.
A large number of ordinances were passed
and among them that of the Pennsylvania
Coaling Company, on which there was not a
dissenting vote.

A FOUR DAYS PICNIC.
How n German Congregation Get n Trip
for Almost Nothing.

How a German Congregation Get n Trip
for Almost Nothing.
On Monday next, the second annual ex-
cursion of the Smithfeld Steeet United
Evangelical Protestant Church will be
given under .the charge of the pastor,
Rev. Frederick Ruoff. The latter left for
New York last evening, but will return In
time to take the members of his congrega-
tion on their four days trip.
About IS people will 60 on the excursion,
and they will be out from Monday to Fri
day. A year ago the idea suggested itself
to the pastor of the church, to give an out
ing instead of the usual picnic. A trip
was made to Put-in-Bay, and it was so sue
cesstuI that it was decided to have one this
year. The total expense of the four days
trip will be $40 rs each, which is about as
low as it could possibly be. 1t includes
boating and bus rides along Lake Erie.
For the past 43 weeks the members of the
congregation who intended to go on the ex-
cursion have been contributing to common
fund to bear the expenses of the trip. Each
one has put into the fund 25 cents per week.
and the amount is SO small that they would
not miss it. Rev. Ruof says the idea of
taking such long congregational trips in this
country is entirely new, and a longer one is
assured for next year.

MEAT MAY BE EATEN,
A Special Dispensation From Pope Leo for
Its Use To-day.

A Special Dispensation From Pope Leo for
Its Use To-Day.
Catholics throughout the Pittsburg diocese
may eat meat, today despite the fact tina: it is
Friday. For the first time within the recol-
lection of the Church the use of flesh meat is
allowed on Friday, except when Christmas
falls on that day. The following order has
been issued by Very Rev. Stephen Wall,
Vicar General of the Diocese:
"The Holy Father, Pope Leo Kill, mas
granted permission to all Catholics to use
flesh meat on Friday next, August Is, the
feast of the Assumption of the Blessed
Virgin. Thursday, the vigil of the feast, is
a fast day. The Holy Father desires that
the faithful, as a compensation for this in
diligence, recite the rosary according to his
intention"
The instructions are little late, and will
make little difference here. The reason the
use of meat is allowed to-day is desire to
worthily recognize the feast. and on account
of the ravages of cholera and grip" in
different paris of Europe.
The Feast of the Assumption is holy day
of obligation, and all Catholics are required
to 60 to mass the same as on Sundays. 1t is
feast IN memory OF the Blessed Virgin being
assumed or taken up into heaven, both body
and soul, after her dissolution or demise,
which is pious and well.founded tradition
in the Church,

MORE FIRMS CONCEDE.
But Oliver & RoberIs Pay OF Their strilk-
ing Machinists.

Bur Oliver & Roberrs Pay OF Their strilk-
ing Machinists.
The only feature yesterday in the strike
of the machinists for shorter hours was the
discharge by the firm of the 20 or more
machinists employed in the Oliver & Rob-
erts Wire Works. They petitioned on
Monday for a reduction in time, and were
inclined to believe that since the other
branches of the same interests had yielded,
they also would be included in the conces-
sion. The men employed BY Marshall
Bros, the Samuel Trethnay Manufacturing
Company and the Fischer Foundry Com
pany, of the Southside, will resume work
to-day on concession of the petition. The
National Tube Works men, the Scaife
Foundry employees, those employed by the
Lewis Foundry and Machine Company and
the Pittsburg Foundry and Iron Company
are still idle.
No change occurred yesterday in the mat
ter of the Westinghouse strike. To-day is
the regular payday, and those of the en-
ployes who will not return to work will be
discharged. The firm threatens an active
policy dating from Monday.

RAILROAD RATES REDUCED.

The Pennsylvania Company TO Issne Special
Tariff for Seven or More Personals Is
Virtual Restoration of the Old The.
ntrical Rate.
General Passenger Agent E. A. Ford. of
the Pennsylvania Company, yesterday sent
out circular to the effect that commencing
August 1S, 1890, the sale of so-called zone
way-party-rate" tickets will be resumed
under the following regulations and condi-
tions: The tickets are to be sold only to
parties of not less than seven persons travel
Ing together, and one ticket should be used
for the entire party. They are to be sold
only for passage one way and must not be
filled for the round trip under any circum-
stances. They will be good for continuous
passage only, and must be stamped and
limit punched for the date upon which they
are to be used. These tickets may be sold
at the rates named, cents per mile, per
capita, to any party OF seven or more per,
sons. They will be open to the public, and
not confined exclusively to theatrical
troupes, baseball clubs, minstrel trouPes,
and parties of that kind.
He also saws to ticket agents: I'm ticket
ing theatrical and other show companies, If
such company should have an advance agent
who travels ahead, you should issue regu-
lar ticket at full tariff rate; give him receipt
for the amount paid, 10 be left by him with
the manager of the company, and when the
company is ticketed. the difference between
the fare paid by the agent and the two-cent-
per-mile rate, should be deducted from the
total fares. No deduction should be allowed
TOR fare paid by advance agents unless the
receipt given them is presented at the time
the ticket for the company is purchased.
Before giving such receipt to advance agent
you should require him to identify himself
as an advance agent of the show company.
Theatrical and other show companies,
numbering seven persons or less, including
the advance agent, to obtain the 2-cent rate
will have to pay not less than eight fares,
regardless of the number of persons in the
company, provided the agent travels ahead;
because ticket cannot be sold at that rate
for less number than seven persons. The
form OF ticket is purely local, and can be
used only in ticketing parties between
points where you sell local tickets"
The restoration of the party rate is prac-
tically return to the old theatrical rate
in vogue before the Interstate Commerce
Commission began TO do business. The
Pennsylvania Company has strictly ad-
hered to the letter of the law, and only con-
sented to the reduction after the other lines
had been persistently making the special
rates.

Successful Opening of the Theatrical Sea.
son ut the Bijou.
Whether it was due to the opening night,
or the attraction, the management of the
BJou must heve felt satisfied with the house
that greeted the initial performance of the
season, last evening. So great, indeed, was
the demand for accommodations, that the
managers felt constrained to yield to the
first comers the seats customarily held in
reserve for the press on first nights. Cleve-
lands minstrels are old favorites in Pitts
burg, and the names of Billy Rice, Willis
Sweatham, Banks and Thatcher on the bill,
was sufficient assurance of an enjoyable en-
tertainment.
The audience had time to admire Mr..
CarrolPs pretty drop scene before the plush
curtains were drawn aside to the opening
bars of the "brown diamonds" disclosing
to view the reception" The scene was
pretty one, and the minstrels, gorgeously
arrayed in medieval costume, seemed to
have some other business there than to crack
old jokes in new attire, and startle, while
amusing the audience, with some novel uses
to which the English tongue may-by
stretching it-be put. The exhibitions of
the Lohengrin Knights were watched with
attention, and the performance of the I'm
perial Japanese troupe commanded much
applause.

William Porter, on Stanton avenue. near
the Allegheny Cemetery, and found that
lady in very precarious condition, suffer-
ing from at attack made upon her Satur-
day night by an unknown man who entered
the house with the intention of committing
a theft. Mrs. Porter states that she was

to bed, when she encountered burly man
at the foot Of the stairs, who took lamp
which Mrs. Porter held in her hand ard de-
manded her money, She told the ruffian
that she had none and he thereupon knocked
her down and kicked her fercely, then
made his escape. Her husband returned
about two hours later and found her lying
upon the floor. She related the story Of
the attack to her husband and then became
unconscious and has remained in a comatose
state ever since.
Captain Brophy did not make the matter
public until last night in hopes that the
lady's .assailant might be aprehended, but
thus far the police have secured no clew.
1t is feared by the attending physician hat
her injuries will prove fatal.

TENTH WARD KIcKERs.

Allegheny Citizens Think the Pleasant Val.
ley Fares nre Exorbitnnt.
The citizens OF the Tenth ward, Allegheny,
are entering vigorous protests against the
Pleasant Valley Company for charging 10
cents fare to the end of the Perrysville line.
The distance is only four miles and 10 cents
is deemed exorbitant fare.
1t is claimed people are being driven away
from that quarter of the city on this account.
The property, it is alleged, is also being de-
preciated in value on that account. The re-
suit OF the traction road in reducing the fare
to the East End to 5 cents is pointed to by
the citizens as an inducement for the Pleas
ant Valley company to reduce the fare. The
citizens claim that as it is cheaper to operate
pany has no excuse for charging such fare.

It seems that the war between the rival
painters organizations is to be continued.
According 10 Brotherhood painter, men
in his order engaged in Morrow's shop on
Penn avenue will strike to-day against the
knights painters, and so the fight will be
prosecuted until one or the other of the
unions obtain possession of the shop.
It looks as if the warfare would be ex-
tended and likely to continue for time. 1t
is said that the building trades here de-
cided to back up the Brotherhood painters,
and in this event good many new build
ings are likely to have their erection inter-
fered with. On the other hand, Master
Workman Evans is confident that Carpen-
ters' Union 142 will take no part in the
fight. t.

The journeymsn are willing to agree to
this-if the associated masters will agree
to find employment for the disestablished
men. This the masters object to. The con-
