FIGHTING OVER THE STREET.

E. M. Ferguson, Esq. and S. S. Marvin at
War About vacating Castleman Thor
oughfare-DIayor Gourley Viewed the
Place, but Will Not Act Yet
Mayor Gourley went out to the East End
yesterday afternoon to view Castleman
street, over the vacation Of which there is a
pretty fight going on with E. NJ. Ferguson,
ESQ.,, on one side and s. S. Marvin on the
other. Both gentlemen have their war armor
on, and the fight may get into the courts.
Among the ordinances finally passed at the
last session of Councils was one vacating Castle
man street. from Barton to Bdwell streets, in
the Twentieth ward. Mayor Gourley received
tins ordinance for his signature yesterday. It
was accompanied by the petition to have the
vacation made, and a remonstrance signed by
s. S. Marvin W. B. Negley. Colonel Schoon-
maker and Others. The petitioners alIege that
If the street is vacated it will work great dam
age to the abutting property; that it leaves a
block of over L. 200 feet without cross street.
and that if the vacation is made it will be but a
short time until another street will have to be
opened at great cost 10 the property owners.
Under the law peiitiod signed by owners of
at least half the abutting property must be
presented to Councils to secure the vacation of
a street. E. NJ. Ferguson presented petition
representing 2 100 feet of the 23l0 feet of 'front.'
age The other 2l0 feet is divided between $.
S. Marvin, who owns "a lot on Anderson ave-
nue. and Robert Bruce, Jr., who is at the same
end of the street. Mr.. Marvin is the principal
objec:or.
Mr. Ferguson owns most of the property in
this district, and has built several fine resi-
dences upon what was at one time a swamp.
If Castleman street is vacated he says he will
build some more, and claims that as the street
is not practically opened YET, there will be no
loss of convenience by its vacation.
Mayor Gouriey desired to do the right thing
by every body, and before acting on the ordi-
nance he decided to take look at the ground
He went over the street late in the afternoon,
ana when seen last evening said he would not
sign the ordinance or act in the matter until he
had an interview with several parties inter
ested to-day.

A SHORT SESSION.

The Colored Missions VIII be Discussed in
the Episcopal Council To-Day.
The afternoon meeting of the Episcopal Mis-
sionary Council was cut short yesterday on ac-
count of the fact that the House Of Bishops
was in session. Rev. DR.. Hoffman. OF New
York, presided.
Rev. Dr. Slatterly offered q resolution asking
that committee composed of three bishops,
three rectors and three laymen be appointed TO
consider ways of promoting the work in colored
missions and report at the next annual meeting
OF the council. This was laid on the table and
will be taken up to-day. In their report the
committee OF the Board of Managers urged
upon the Bishops the appointment Of a Bishop
of Yeddo, and thar the contributions for China
be increased TO sS00000. Rev. DR.. Abbott
offered resolution asking the House OF
Bishops to set apart November 30 as St
Andrews Day. and that ir be celebrated by all
the Episcopal Churches of the land. He also
offered a resolution that it is desirable place
be made in the next Missionary Council for
devotional services. praise and prayer.
AS there was only small number of persons
present it was deemed advisable to adjourn and
postpone the discussion of the question OF
colored missions until this morning, and the
majority of those present went to Carnegie
Hall.

BURGLARS RUNDOWN.
Two Pittsburg Crooks Arrested in
Millvale Borough for
COMPLETELY IN MANY ROBBERIEs.
One of Them Identified by a Citizen Who
Fought Him in the Dark.
POLICE WARN EAST END RESIDENTS

The quiet little borough OF Millvale, ,oppo-
site Lawrenceville, was in high state Of ex-
citement last night caused by the arrest Of
two men, who, it is pretty certain, have been
engaged in the numerous robberies in shat
vicinity lately. They are now in the lock-
up at Millvale and will be sent to the work
house to-day pending an investigation. The
men are both known in Pittsburg. and the
police say one of them served six years in
the penitentiary for burglary.
Within the past month or six weeks the
people in the borough have been living in .
state of terror on account Of the many
burglaries, supposed to have been carried
on by gang of men who were systemat-
ically robbing the little borough. House
after house was broken into and goods
stolen. In several cases shots were fred at
the burglars, but they could not be cap
tured.
About o'clock last evening. Justice Of
the Peace W. A. Young was walking past
John W. Goodwin's drugstore in Millvale
and noticed three or four men in the store.
He did not like their looks, having observed
them acting in a suspicious manner on the
streets during the afternoon. He first OBJ
served them about 8 o'clock and thought
they did not belong in town.
CAPTURED THE TEAM.
He got good look at them, and when he
saw them last night concluded to run them
in. He arrested two of the men. and at the
lookup it was found they were Abe Lincoln
and Chris Lewis, of Pittsburg.
Squire Young telephoned to Inspector
McAleese. who knows both the men, and
asked if they were wanted by him. The
Inspector gave the Justice all the iuforma-
tion he had about the men, and advised him to
send them to the workhouse. When the news
of their arrest spread through the borough
every householder whose place had been bur-
glarized lately called TO get a look at the men.
house was entered about three weeks ago,
and who had an exciting encounter with one of
the burglars. He identified Lincoln as the
man whom he found in his house, and who
assaulted him when surprised, getting away
with the stuff
The other two men who were with Lincoln
and Lewis got away. but they are known, and
If they appear in Millvale again they will be
arrested. 1t is expected that some of the
goods stolen within the past month or SO will
be recovered.
EAST END MARAUDERS.
At the present time the East End is infested
with horde of tramps, and they are commit

ported. Quite gang make headquar-
tiers out of a vacant house at

conjunction with the disability pensions
act, which makes it mandatory on pension
agents to file new bonds to protect the Gov
ernment in its increased disbursements.
There has been some correspondence on this
subject, and letter has been received from
Mr.. Barclay giving as his ultimatum that
he will adhere to his original intention aud
refuse to file new bond"
NO APPOINTMENT BEFORE ELECTION.
Secretary Noble further said the resigla-
ton will probably reach Washington to-
day. it is thought the appointment will
not be made until after November 4.
Mr.. Frank Case will be the candidate of
the Magee-DaIzell faction, and possibly
General Baily, of Uniontown, may be the
choice of the leaders who have
hitherto made the choice of the
incumbents of all the fat offices
within the gift of the President in Pennsylva-
MIA. 1t is not possible that the President VIII
care to take issue with any faction by appoint
ing the favorite of the other previous to the
election, as that event is so near at hand. and
to make any movement in the matter would
enhance the bitterness of the local situation
He will be of duck shooting for several days,
and his return will hardly leave him chance
to consider the situation before the day OF the
election. Secretary Noble said last evening
that be could give no possible indication OF the
time when the appointment would be made.
Already there are requests from leaders OF
both of the factions that no action be taken
until they can be heard, and that means that
they cannot be here until the exciting issues OF
the elections are at rest
a THREE-coRNERED DUEL.
The candidates will be legion but the strug-
gle will probably resolve itself into a three
cornered duel between Case. Bailey and Chill
Hazard. the latter the candidate of the Grand
Army men. though Mr.. Hazard has had
charges filed filed against him already that are
said 70 have taken him out of the field.
A call was made at the pension Office yester
day afternoon. hut Mr.. Barclay was not in and
Messrs. Campbell and Beham stated that there
had been nc ntimatioT of dismissal received at
the Office and that had :here been any sent, it
would doubtless come there.
Pension Agent Barclay was seen by a DIS
PATCH correspondent at Harrisburg last even
ing. but was not prepared to make a statement.

THEY MADE NO DEAL.
MR.. MAGEE DENIES That HE AND CAM.
ERoN ARE TO DOWN QUAY.

The Local Leader Talks Very Frankly About
the Matter-says He win Support Cam
eron as a Friend-How Others View the
Affair.
''It is not true. No such subject was
even mentioned between u.s.
These were C. L. Magee's own words
when asked what he had to say in regard to
the deal reported to have been made with Sen
ator ]. d. Cameron to down Quay. Continuing
on the subject. Mr.. Magee said:
There is no necessity for any deals. Mr..
Cameron and have always been friends, and
of course will help him, as would any other
friend. But the idea of downing anyone was
not limited at during our conversations
Quite number assert that the majority OF
legislators elected this fall will be Quay men.
What do you think about that?"
1T is true, if you are talking Of the State at
large; but The majority of those in the western
part of the State, in factnearly all OF them, are
our people"
This reply was made with a posiiiveness that
indicated Mr.. Magee knew what he was talking
about. he has now openly declared his favor
ltism for Cameron for United States Senator,
but says his support is given uncondftioually,
absolutely. In this regard, Mr.. Cameron is
considered an exceedingly fortunate man. He
has kent aloof from the quarrel between Sena-
tor Quay and Mr.. Magee. and still retains the
friendship of both. There are no strings at
tached TO the assistance either will give him.
A county official stated that harmony would
prevail until after election day, aud that Della
mater will have a wonderful majority.
Several other Republican leaders were
spoken to about the deal that was supposed to
have taken place between Messrs. Magee and
Cameron
Il don't believe it." said Mr. A. C. Robertson.
I'm the first place, Mr.. Cameron could not af-
ford TO enter such a deal"
There is simply nothing in it." said Coroner
Mcdowell.
II didL't get a chance TO ask Mr.. Cameron
anything about it," said Chairman Porter, of
the County Committee, with a laugh. But
don't waste any time believing the story"
Everyone spoken to scoffed at the idea of q
proposed deal TO down the silent Senator from
Beaver county. and nearly everyone had the
same answer, that Cameron ''could not afford"
to 60 into it.
Nh. Cameron left for New York on the linn
tied yesterday morning.
