What newspapers say about the

A Nice Lot.

Mr.. j. Russell Hawkins, jr., of this
county, has left upon our table the
incest lot of six sweet potatoes we
have seen this season. Five of them
grew in the same hill, were all joined
to the same root, and the bunch
weighed six and half pounds. The
sixth one measured 21 inches in cir
cumference and weighed four pounds.
Who can beat them?

How any newspaper man with

one of those deep, dark mysteries

EXterminate Them, Boys

The small boy and his air gun is
not such nuisance after all, as he is
waging war against the pestiverous

exterminate the little pests the man

THE FIRE ENGINE TEST.

Test Made Known,

Big Bets on the AmOskeaR Engine-AIr. W.
]. Lewis the Third JHdge-Dnte Of the
Test Made Known.
Although the admirers of the Amoskeag en-
gine would have much preferred long test
the board of Judges has placed nine hours as
the official time which will next Wednesday
tell what engine will do the best work possible
an an equal basis with its competitors. The
third choice of judge was made about IL A. NJ.
yesterday by the Board of Underwriters, and
its president Major McCandless, when tele-
phoned at P. NJ. by THE DISPATCH, an
nounced w. ]. Lewis, President of the Linden
Steel Company, as the man.
A number of business men seen Immediately
afterward agreed in indorsing the choice say
ing Mr.. Lewis was not alone a practical man,
but also one who had high buildings to protect
his ownGnterests as well as those of the two or
three-story public.
The conference was held in the Fire Direct
ors' room in Allegheny yesterday afternoon
and code of rules agreed upon, of which the
principal points have been noted above. The
minutiR will embrace the drawing of water
direct from the river through an open suction,
and other points, which will be officially sent to
Chief Brown some time to day.
One of the features of the exhibition will be
new appliances for holding nozzle by mechan-
ical means, by which one man can hold a stream
playing 200 TO 300 feet through any diameter.
This will be interesting, as it will relieve the
men from unnecessarily hard work on every
competing engine and the apparatus which is
a new invention will enable two streams as
well as one to be thrown in any direction or
various directions. This will be very interest
ing to the men who when nozzle is knocked out
of their hands by accident have to walk back.
crawl up the pipe and recapture the nozzle at
the risk of fractured skull or broken arm

the result of the test and already bets are being
offered on both sides. There are already thou,

ment is intensified

LIKELY TO ADVANCE RAPIDLY.

Window Glass Men Looking to n Good
Years Trade and Higher Prices.
The action of the Eastern window glass man
ufacturers who met last week in Boston and
advanced the price of the product 10 per cent,
will be followed by similar action on the part
of the local men and in the West. The ad-
vance has been made on the strength of the
rise in the raw materials, which have advanced
in a very short time about so per cent.
The outlook for the years trade is very good,
and as a member of Wood street firm said
yesterday: 'Prices are not such at present as
not to allow of a very material advance in
rates"
The Chambers & Mckee Company having
voluntarily agreed TO cooperate with the other
manufacturers in maintaining prices which
might be mutually agreed upon, is regarded as
an index that the old association, from which
the company withdrew last June, may be re-
vived. This action on the part of the Jeanette
firm will have the twofoId result of sending up
prices and keeping them there, and of decid-
ing the Pittsburg manufacturers who, up to
this time, have been holding aloof from it, to
enter the Pittsburg Window Glass Company.
Progress IN this latter direction is being made
surely, if slowly and the next probable result
will be an understanding between the three or
four combinations which control prices in their
respective sections, as to making uniform
price over the country

Some Who Travel, Some Who Do Not, and
Others Who Tnlk.
j. L. Adair was on the Eastern express
last evening bound for Washington. He is a
delegate from the Cherokee Indian Nation to
confer with the authorities. He said his mis-
sion was to confer on subjects of general i'm
portance to the tribe, but the principal reason
for his visit to Washington was to have a con-
sulration with the Government officials in rela-
tion TO the sale of the lands of the Cherokee
tribe. Some time ago the Government ap-
pointed a commission to visit the agency and
ascertain for what price the tribe would sell
their land lyings west of the Arkansas river.
The Government offered 81 25 per acre, and
this the Indians refused, claiming that they
could get three times that amount from a syn
which ran through the country, and it is
mainly in regard to this that Mr.. Adair is visit
ing Washington.

NO MEETING LAST MIGHT.
Mr.. Miller Gives n History of the Allegheny
Library.


Library.
The regular meeting of the Allegheny Board
of School Controllers was called for last even
ing. A quorum, however, was not obtained.
President Young announced special meeting
would probably have to be held, as the matter
Of high school tax had to be fixed. Mr. Miller,
of the Library Committee, stated that there
were some bills for periodicals for the library
that needed approving. This called forth the
remark that if the library was to be taken
from them they would not need to pay for any
more periodicals.
President Young stated that nothing had
been said about taking from them the library
they now have, even if Councils proposed to
retain control of the new library. If their
present quarters were taken from them, they
have a valuation of S46,0O0 600 to draw upon
and they might possibly acquire enough to rent
place.
At the request of Mr.. Young Mr. Miller
stated how the Board of School Controllers ac-
ouired its title to the present library. He said
that the library had been owned by q number
OF gentlemen in private life. They ran it for
few years when the interest in it Jagged. They
made the proposition to the Board of Control
lers that they take the library at a nominal
price. This was done, and $500 paid for IL the
Of the books of the old library did not suit the
boards purpose, and were distributed among
Sunday schools, etc. The first year the board
expended s, 500 for new books, another year
$500 and about 81 600 the other years. The cost
of running the library last year was S2,375.
They have occupied their present quarters in
City Hall since 1872

ANOTHER THEATER SCHEME.

AVeuua Pronarfv

Philadelphia md Chicago People After Sixth
Avenue Property.
With the arrival OF the cold snap last night
another theater scheme blew into the city from
the East. The latest is the contemplated pur-
chase of property on Sixth avenue between the
new Duquesne club house and the Stevenson
building.
1t is said the projectors of the scheme are
Nixon & Zimmerman, who own several thea
ters in the Quaker City. With them is Richard
Hooley, Of Chicago, the Well-knowu theatrical
man. 1t is said the price wanted for the prop
erty is 500, 00O. The object of Messrs. Nixon,
Zimmerman and Hooley is to establish chain
of theaters. Nothing definite has yet been
done about the matter, although the parties
have been after the property for some time.
Ed. Jackman said yesterday that the negotia-
tiOns for the sale of his stable to Coke and Mid
closed. He denied that Zimmerman and Nixon
were diekering for the property.
