ADAY'S SERIOUS MIsHAPs.
CHARLES cLARKE's FATAL FALL AT THE
CENTRAL HOTEL.

An Unknown Man Ground to Pieces on the
Pennsylvania Railroad - Mrs. Annie
Stewart Terribly Injured by Ft Wayne
Engine--Accidents Not So Serious.
Charles Clarke, aged 55, travelling agent
for Poth, Haberman & Co., was killed by a
fall at the Central Hotel last evening. He
called for drink at the bar, but was re-
fused, the bartender saying he had an unnat-
ural expression in his eyes Clarke then
turned and walked to the Third avenue
door, and when going down the steps fell,
his head striking against door standing
against the wall. DR.. Ramsey, of the h omeo-
pathic Hospital, was called and did his best for
the unfortunate man, but it was of no avail,
and in less than half an hour Clarke was dead.
The deceased leaves wife and grown sons and
daughter. He lived at Marion station. The
Coroner will hold an inquest to-day.
Mrs. Annie Stewart, wife of DR.. Stewart. of
Mcclure avenue. Allegheny. was caught by a
ton street, Allegheny last evening and suffered
terrible injuries. She was thrown under the
train and one limb and the foot of the other
were torn OF and her wrist was broken. She
was removed to the West Penn Hospital and
her injuries dressed. AT a late hour last night
the lady was still unconscious but the hospital
physicians expressed hope that her injuries
would not prove fatal.
An unknown man was killed on the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad near Wilmerding last night
and his remains are at the morgue awaiting
Identification. He was evidently about 10
years old and is thought to have been peddler
OF lead pencils in the city.

FOR sLACKwATER NAVIGATION.
Arthur Kirk g. Sons Models.

Mr.. Kirk is kept constantly busy explain
ing and demonstrating to the public IN gen.
eral and engineers in particular the merits
OF these inventions. The stationary dam is
regarded with even more interest than any
of the models, and it is declared by those
who ought to know to be perfectly feasible;
the rest of the world takes it on faith,
though it seems to them a wonderfully clear,
bright idea that should be adopted at once.
Mr.. Kirk also exhibits a model of Sec
tional. metallic coffer-dam, which he claims
is superior in principle and construction to
any other ever made. The section and cor
pers are made interchangeable and are so
connected and fitted together as to prevent
all leakage, and simply by raisinga greater
or less number of sections the space enclosed
by the Golfer may be made larger or smaller.
Then, when its use at any particular place
has ceased it can be moved piece by piece
and used elsewhere.
Both of these styles Of dams concern the
people about here very nearly. and it is well
that the visitors should have this oppor-
tunity to closely investigate and tamiliarize
themselves with these subjects so that when
the question of their adoption in this section
comes up they will be able to express them
selves intelllgently in regard to them.
These Improvements are very substantial,
yet they are simple and eminently service
able, while the cheapness of construction
is q surprise to all who have learned about
the prices. A stream of water amounting
to 1000 gallons per minute is now being
used at the Exposition to show just how the
dams are worked. occular demonstration
being the most convincing proof possible.

IF. Mae der. 1875 Fifth Ayenue.

The incessant climatic changes in the past
fortnight are calculated to bring the matter
of fall and winter suits and the important
overcoats right to the front. The clothes
from last season have too often disappointed
you. in not looking as it was hoped they
would, and new suits must be procured, and
quickly. The prices to be paid, the num-
ber Of suits that are absolutely necessary for
a respectable appearance. the materials they
should be made of, the class of work put in
them, are the chief points to be thought of
and where can we get all these to our satis-
faction? There is one custom tailoring es-
tablishment, right in the center of business,
where the prices to be pail are absolutely
small; where you can get business, visiting,
travelling, house or full dress suits, nobby
and stylish as possible; where all the newest
ideas in fabrics will be found In unlimited
quantities, as well as the standard goods
that never will change, where the very best
class of work is put upon all the work done,
and where the cut and style are beyond
cavil. Where Is this place? 1t is on Fifth
avenue, just little above Smithfield street.
and tae head of the house is Mr.. J. F.
Maeder.

A VERY FRIsKY GHOST.

1t Prevents Young Men From Going to See
Their Girls at Night.
Quite number of people in the vicinity of
Ewing's Mills. on Montour run, have seen a
ghost lately or if it isn't ghost 1t is something
equally terrifying and nearly related. It ghost
y in character, at least it has only been seen to
walk at night. If it 'pedestrianates" in cay.
light it walks invisible. Mrs. Ewing. who pre-
sides over the store at the mill, acknowledges
that she saw It, but she did not appear to be
alarmed. She stated that she had heard of its
appearance years ago and never learned that
any harm attended 1t save the frightening of
some nervous people.
A gentleman who saw the supposed appari-
ton on Friday night says it started up the run
a short distance above the coke ovens, and kept
on the even tenor of its way, about 100 feet
above the ground, uutil it came opposite
Quinn's hollow, when 1t separated into
two bodies, and after these had danced
a Jig or a polka. he wasn't certain which,
they again united and disappeared up the hol-
low in the direction of Forest Grove Church.
He said some people had been trying to ac-
count for the phenomenon by saying it was a
will-o'-the wisp, but he says there is nothing in
that section to create marsh gas, and this light,
or whatever it may have been, did not come
near the ground, but seemed to have an affinity
for the hemlocks that skirt the side of the
rocky hill.
Whatever it may be, people in the vicinity
natural, with suspicion, are somewhat shaken
in their nervous systems.
1t is said that John Smith will not stay about
the mill at night and that Frank Beacon dare
not go to see his girl after night as to do so he
must cross the spook's path.

He Delivers a Keen Thrust to a Man Who
Talked Too Much.
Mr.. Andrew Carnegie is not alone becoming
famous for speeches delivered upon the roy
atty and their prerogatives in England, but is
delivering little impromptu speeches here and
there, in which he is just as prone to express
his mind freely as in the more pretentious ad-
dresses. One reported of him was given last
spring as the Cunard steamer, in which he was
a passenger, neared her port in Eng
land. On board was an exceedingly
oficious clergyman. who was not content in
looking after the spiritual welfare of the pas
sengers, but insisted upon caring for them
materially also. He was very verbose man,
and made himself generally offensive during
the passage by his continual expounding of his
opinions and theories. In direct contrast was
the Captain of the steamer, man who seldom
out for the comfort of his passengers in the
most commendable manner, and thereby be-
coming respected favorite among them in
spite of his exclusiveness.
As the ship neared port the self constituted
Mikado called meeting in the cabin for the
purpose of drawing up a set of resolutions
thanking the Captain for his many courtesies.
At the conclusion of an enthusiastic speech in
which he referred to the Captain as the
Napoleon Of the sea, the man who never closed
his eyes and never opened his mouth" he ap-
pealed to MIR. Carnegie to suggest anything he
might have neglected.
Mr.. Carnegie, in his characteristic style re-
piled that he could suggest nothing that had
not already been mentioned by the gentleman
who never closed his mouth nor opened his
eyes.

THEY WILL HAVE WATER.

A Committee Learns the Possibility of
Taking Water Out Southern Avenue
Surveys of Several Lines Made-n They
Fail Now the Citizens Company Will be
Organized.
The people along Southern avenue, back
Of Knoxville and Beltzhoover, who have
been appealing for more liberal supply OF
water are to have their demands supplied.
The Birmingham Land Improvement Company
has taken the matter in earnest and it is assert
ed that new main will be laid out the avenue
The company has sent several committees to
President Watson, Of the Monongahela Water
Company for the purpose of inducing him II
possible to extend the company's main out to
South View place, but each time Mr. Watson
was seen his answer was an unsatisfactory one.
He said he was afraid to lay the main for rear
there was not sufficient pressure to carry the
water out The last time the committee called
on him he very frankly told them that he was
afraid the experiment would be an expensive
and unsuccessful undertaking. Then came
the talk about the citizens water company
pany was about to spring into
existence, when the idea of having survey
made to ascertain whether or not water could
be supplied through the Monongaheia com
panys MAINS A committee was appointed TO
do this work. F. Benz, of Benz Brothers, was
chairman of the committee. and he reported to
a meeting of the directors of the company last
night, that sufficient heightcould be attained
to supply everybody along Southern avenue.
The meeting was held at Alderman Succops
office. The former committee was asked to see
the Monongahela Water Company again and
insist upon the mans being extended. If they
fail this time, to use the words of one of the
directors. 1.-The citizens company will certainly
be organized. We are in this thing now to see
that the people along that thoroughfare get
better supply of water, and it must be given to
them"
The land company has already surveyed
line from the river up through the township on
the upper side of Beck's run to Southview
place. and they have also received bids on the
cost of water works and tanks.

WHY FULL Boards ARE WORN.

BARRIERS Are Not Always the Innocent
Creatures They May Seem.
If there is one thing more than another that
makes men brave and fear nothing, not even
death, it is the BARRIERS. men who are paid for
scraplng your face with fine toothed comb
and combing your hair with the hard side of
the brush. 1t really requires great nerve for q
man to sit down in the chair while a strange
barber manipulates the instruments of tor
ture. The man who looks like he has a tip
ready can get anything he wants and the best
in the shop. but occasionally you find one who
doesn't look that way. then there's weeping
and wailIng and guashing of teeth Said a
barber to one of his victims the other day:
You say that man over there gave you a bad
shave. Why he's one of the best BARRIERS in
town. He just didn't like your looks, that's
all. suppose you often meet a man you don't
like the first time you see him. Well, it's the
same way with the BARRIERS, only they have the
advantage. When a man gets in my chair and
desire to have no use for him, proceed to
make him wish he had been born girl SO he
wouldn't have to be shaved. 1 can give you an
excellent shave, as you know. but can give
you a scrape, inst as easy. A regular customer
gets off all right, but we don't like strangers,
unless they have tip ready. Keep the change,
you say? All! thanks. Always take my chair
when you come in and you will be sure of
good shave. Good day, sir. Call again.

A CASE OF SCARLET FEVER

Which Took the Afternoon Promenaders
of Fifth Avenue by Surprise.
The premonitory symptoms of the antici-
pated scarlet fever have appeared at various
times on Fifth avenue within the last two
weeks in the shape of red hats. red gloves and
gowns dashed here and there with red; but the
first really well defined case was seen at the
corner of Market street and Fifth avenue yes
terday afternoon about o'clock. There was
no mistaking the malady, and it was in its most
violent form Red-strikingly red-was the
hat of some fluffy crepe-like material and red
-shocKingly red-was the gown of a rather
stylish cut and finish. The hands of the victim
suffering from the disease were encased in
gloves of a brilliant hue, and the tips of the
delicate ears blushed with a tiny weight of
coral and necklace of the same encircied the
neck.
The sufferer was a blonde with a wealth of
lovely golden hair and her apparent youthful
ness and~helplessness aroused the sympathy
and commiseration of all who passed her, and
many were the backward glances given by
both gentlemen and ladies toward the fared
spot where she in all her scarletness was con-
versing with a gentleman.

Braddock Seems to Be a Great Place for
Electric Railways-On Paper.
Braddock borough seems in a fair way to
have another street railway company which will
insure citizens good treatment-perhaps heat
ers in the cars. At the time the home COM
pany knocked out all competition, detailed
account of which set-to was published in THE
DISPATCH. the Braddock Electric Railway
Company, represented by Sailor and Ellis, was
a competitor. Its claims were at the time
shelved. but it has since pulled itself together
and has agreed to take a back street for its
route, and at the last meeting by Braddock
Council an ordinance granting right OF way
passeu second reading.
People down the Ohio are beginning to un-
derstand that rapid transit is the only thing
that will ever pull them out OF the wilderness;
but the old fogy portion when they put their
hands into their pockets to get the money to
buy stock, cannot get them out again, SO the
suburbs in that section, the most picturesque
roundabout, languish, and people ofspirit have
tired OF making efforts to put the cripples into
the pool that they might be healed of their
chronic aiment.

There is no longer a doubt

We purchased a much larger

made at the opening of the

Hotel keepers and others
who contemplate refurnishing
