DOING WE'LL OVER HERE.
A Young German Who Departed With $500
Family Funds.

Young German Who Departed With 500
Family Funds.
There il a young man from Germany who
arrived only two weeks ago and appears
to be doing remarkably well~in this coun-
try. He is at large with several police after
him and 500 in his clothes belonging to
cousin of his, who has been working on the
Southside.
Henry Mueller, an industrious, hard
working German, Of 2627 Sarah street, had
fallen heir to some property in his native
land, and had received 500 of the legacy.
His cousin, Frank, who is only 10 and
rather dudish in appearance, arrived in the
United States some two weeks ago and took
up his abode with Henry, who entertained
him. Hearing of the legacy and the 500
deposit in the trunk in Henry's bedroom,
Frank appropriated it and lett for parts un-
known. His cousin says his parents in Ger
many are very wealthy, and Frank has had
an excellent education, being, young as he
is, frst-class draughtsman. But even
cousinly affection could not honor the draft
for 500, so the Brown sleuthhounds are on
the track.

big front doors were swung shut and the
house was warmed.
ONE OF THE FINEST.
The new building, which has previously
been described in detail in these columns,
is the finest of the kind west of Philadel-
phia. 1t is certainly magnificent struct-
ure, and a sight for the eye to feast upon.
Its beauty is especially noticeable in the
evening, the illuminating of the edifice
being very effective. Through the windows
glimpses of the handsome furnishings may
be had, and the constant passing 10 and fro
and in and out of the members gives il an
air of activity and life that makes it very
fascinating.
A new era in club life dawns with the
opening of this spacious building. Hereto
fore the members of the Duquesne Club
substantial business and professional men
have devoted their time, except what fam
ished and fatigued nature demanded, to the
pursuance of their respective callings,
leaving the social entertaining and CO.
tillions to their younger and more
sprightly brethren in the Pittsburg Club.

The refrigerators at the corner Of Liberty
and Ferry streets, which for the past three
months have been under process of e0nstruc-
ton, are now completed and for elegance OF
fittings, convenience Of access and perfec-
tion in all working of details relating 70 the
cooling and care Of meats by the most ap-
proved and healtEful methods-these cool
ing rooms are fully equal to the best known.
Neither money nor pains seem to have
been spared in the construction, if we may
Judge from the large amount of material
used, time occupied and the large force Of
skilled workmen employed.
We take pleasure in noting any advance
in methods of handling one Of the greatest
food staples Of the masses, and any advance
by which such articles OF food are cared for
and placed on sale in a manner and eondi-
ton conducive of health to the public. is
sure to meet their approval and find favor
with all lovers of fine, juicy steaks and
roasts.
Such are the claims of these last aspirants
for public favor, and as these rooms are to
be thrown open for public inspection to-
morrow morning, the people can Judge for
themselves, as all are cordially invited and
are sure to receive royal welcome from the
gentlemanly manager, Mr.. d. s. Hayes,
who has had great experience in the most
approved methods of handling meats.

There is very little of that rose-hued,
gilded wickedness apparent, the worm in the
rose, the serpent in the garden, that is pop
ularly supposed to pervade every club
house, large, small or Indifferent. As one
of its most respected members observed,
"Our clubhouse is more an exclusive hotel
than anything else. A place where we can
go and dine with congenial friends instead
of meeting strangers merely.
"The etiquette of the club is nothing more
nor less than the etiquette of gentlemen in
the true sense of the word.
''The members" continued the club man,
"may visit ever their dinners, relate anus
ing incidents, prophesy for the future, sing
songs and enjoy themselves in any rational
manner. Private dining rooms may be had
where party of business men or politicians
may discuss any important event or transact
business undisturbed. And if by chance
some member should imbibe too much of
the exhilarating liquid, he would doubtless
be taken care of, but such indulgence is not
encouraged"
This last remark was given with a shake
of the head, as if continual transgressor
would find the road hard one to travel.
The membership fee of the club is $50,
and the annual dues $50. After the pay
ment of these sums the members are not
charged any premium on orders given in
the house

THE ARSENAL PARK PLAN.

pairing Petitions,
The Arsenal Park scheme has taken the
Lawrenceville people by storm. They are
heartily in sympathy with the object. Small
posters have been posted around the neigh
borhood, asking the people to sign it. Mr..
Samuel Hay, prominent citizen, said
"I am going to introduce into Butler
Street NJ. E. Church petition, so that the
people will have an opportunity to sign it.
think that to sign the petition for park IS
equally as much'a religious duty as it is for
man to go to church, or even to pray. We
want park, where the people can breathe
pure air, and will not only support the
scheme by my name, but work for it until
we get the arsenal for park"

Something About the Marshal.
The new United States Marshal for the
Western District of Pennsylvania, Joseph
R. Harrah, OF Beaver, was sworn into of
fee at II o'clock yesterday forenoon. Mr..
Harrah came to the city with a number Of
his Beaver county friends for the express
purpose Of taking the oath. It was admin
istered by Mr.. S. G. McCandless, clerk of
the United States District Court, in the
presence of Judge NJ. W..Acheson. Mr.
Harrah's bond was then presented to the
Judge.
Its amount is $40, 900, and the sureties are
Henry G. Fry, the wealthy tumbler manu-
facturer of Rochester; Harry G. Patterson,
John Reeves and Elias L. Cunningham, of
Beaver Falls. After a brief and satisfactory
inquiry the bond was approved by Judge

term as Marshal began. The date of his
commission, however, is December 20, 1889.
His predecessor, Mr.. George W. Miller, be-
gan his term of service December 8. 1885.
Marshal Harrah visited the Office over
which he is to have charge and shook hands
with the employees. No intimation has
been given to any of the present officials as
to what changes will be made, but none are
expected within two weeks. Mr. Harrah
and his friends, alter taking dinner at the
Hotel Duquesne, departed for their homes.
Marshal Harrah will take charge of the

Joseph r. Harrah is of Scotch-Irish
descent. His father, William Harrah, was
one of the early settlers OF the Monongahela
Valley. His son was named after one Of
his fathers political idols, Governor Joseph
Ritner, who was the Whig executive Of the
Commonwealth from December, 1885, to
January, 1889. Mr.. Harrah is about 80
years old, but does not look to be much over
40. He is a blonde, tall, straight, with a
keen blue eye and a full yellowish
beard just beginning to show traces
of gray. He served during the war in
that celebrated regiment, the One Hundred
and Twentieth Pennsylvania Volunteers,
and lett the service as a sergeant. His ap-
pointment has been received by old soldiers
as recognition OF the men who served in
the line. Since the war he has studied and
practiced law in Beaver county, and has
filled the Office of County District Attorney
with considerable ability.

The arrangement of the dining room was
greatly admired. The ladies were charmed
by the splendid mass of flowers and plants
on the center table. The service of the
lunch was begun about $50 o'clock. Itwas
highly praised. On the second floor page
served lemonade from big bowl.
All the gentlemen wore evening dress.
Ofthe ladies, those who wore evening dress
were very few. Dark costumes predomi-
mated, but there was generous display of
corsage flowers.
The police bureau furnished two detec-
tives, Messrs. Coulson and Fitzgerald, who
moved about to see that no unbidden guest
found his way in for the purpose of robbery.
Although there were at least ZOO people
in the building, none of the rooms were
crowded. The members of the club took
great delightin showing their lady friends
over the place, pointing out its many beau
ties and comforts. No intoxicants were
served during the evening. There were no
programmes OF music nor bills Of fare, the
entire reception being rather informal.
The call of carriages began at 1870

In connection with the proceedings of the

Cav, who it may be remembered lately was
instrumental in forming a union of the
trade outside of the K. of L., yesterday said:
''I attended the meeting on the supposi-

The Allegheny County Light Company In
creases Its Capital Stock From $780,
600 to S1.25O,OOO - Statistics Of
Growth.
The stockholders of the Allegheny County
Electric Light Company met yesterday,
David W. Bell presiding and R. D. Nc
Gonnigle secretary.
The directors had held a meeting pre-
viously in the Office of Mr.. Westinghouse,
and had decided that an increase of capital
stock, to meet the exigeDcy of large de-
mand for light, was a necessity; and the
stockholders, after getting points on the
situation, soon came to the same conclu-
sion.
A report of the operations of the company
showed that year ago tie number of in
candescent lights operated were 20, 145; arc
lights, 240, and there are at present q, 500
incandescent and 74O arc lights in operation.
The present capital is $500, 900, and its earn
ing capacity for the last six months was
$50, 900 net, II per cent.
In view OF the earning power of the cap
ital at present employed and the constantly
growing demand for service, it was decided
to increase the capital stock to 81, ,250, 900,
the prosperity of the company rendering the
increase safe in the estimation of the stock
holders. Notwithstanding the operations
of the East End Electric Light Company
there is abundant evidence that the field
limit is not nearly reached as yet.
