The complimentary excursion of La Fayette
Lodge No. 10, which occurs Tuesday evening,
will be one of the peasantest events in the his
tory of this hospitable lodge. Worshipful

For probably the first time in the history of
the Masonic jurisdiction of the District of Co
lumba there will be only five regular meetings
during the week, the four lodges named in the
calendar and the Council of Royal and Select
Masters. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday
evenings, being the fifth occurrence in July, no
bodies will hold stated communications, thus
leaving Monday and Friday the only regular
nights. In all eight bodies should meet on
these two evenings, but Columbia Commandery,
being called off until the first meeting in Sep
tember, the list is consequently reduced to FIVE.
This is very curious fact, and will prove
source of great inconvenience to regular Yisi-
tors.

with this fact it possesses all the other attributes
of live, enterprisng journal, combining the
best telegraphic service with carefully prepared
special matter, while its local columns contain

THE PECK-OVER BANK.
How a Contemporary of Barring Bros. & Co.
Obtained Its Title.

How a Contemporary of Barring Bros. & Co.
Obtained Its Title.
A gentleman who is interested in financial
affairs was talking yesterday about the Bar
Ing Brothers failure. In the course of his
conversation. he said: "Baring Brothers
was one of the few English banks which
stood the strain of the bursting Of the South
Sea bubble, in the latter part of the
eighteenth century, when even the Bank of
England was shaky. By the way, did you
ever hear of the Peck-Oyer Bank? There
is peculiar story connected with the title
of the institution.
"The Peck-Over Bank, which at the
time of the South Sea trouble had another
name was located on Lombard street, Lon
don. 1t was a conservative institution, as
it is now, and when the bubble burst nobly
withstood the run upon its resources. When
every claimant had been paid in full, the
cashier found he had quantity of specie
still on hand. He was an enterprising fell
low and saw a chance for an advertisement.
He procured peck measure, and filling it
up with golden guineas, placed it in the
window OF the bank to notify passers by
that that institution, at least, was all right.
"When the directors met the next morn
ing they showed their appreciation OF the
cashiers idea by promptly changing the
name of the bank to The Peck-Over Bank,
which title it bears to this day"

How Some Theatrical Managers Had Little
Fun at Her Expense.
"Adonis" Dixey enjoys the reputation of
being a masher and a 40-pound heart
crusher. The last time he was in Pittsburg
a blushing damsel became much eaamored
with his comely figure and rather cookbook
ing face. She called at the Duquesne Hotel,
and Dixey, to get rid of her, gave her his
autograph. Tne maiden was awfuIly fat
tered, and the next day at tine matinee pre-
sented herself at the boxo flee Of the Grand
Opera House, and gushingly exhibited the
much-prized card with Di1ey's name on it
to the ticket seller. The latter recognized
at once that she had the fever, and thought
he would have some fun at her expense.
"And wouldn't you like to have my card,
also?" he asked in his sweetest accents.
"Oh, N.Y." she replied, with faint blush
and happy smile; "how you do fatter me.
Indeed L should be glad to have IT," and he
gave her his autograph, at the same time
winking to several theatrical managers who
happened to be present.
"These men are distinguished" spoke up
the ticket seller again. 'I feel sure the
lady would like to have your cards, too.''
"Well, she can have mine,"' remarked
Dixey's man; "and mine also, chimed in
Annie Pixley's agent.
A boy was sent out to drum up ali the
people around the Opera House, and before
the dear girl departed she had collection
of autographs from Dixey down to some of
the supers and stage hands, and she was
happy.

THIRD VICTIM DEAD.
Mr.. Hicks, Injured in the New Flor
ence Wreck, Expired Yesterday.
Is THE OPERATOR RESPONSIBLE
Contracts for 5000 Tons of Steel Waiting
for Somebody to Make.
THE NECESSITY FOR MORE HOLIDAYS

C. G. Hicks, Of Providence, R. l., who
was injured in the Pennsylvania wreck at
New Florence, died yesterday at the Johns
town hospital. He is the third victim of
the fatal wreck, and was taken there after
the catastrophe occurred.
Mr.. S. H. Angel, the husband OF the lady
who was killed outright, will be here to-day
to take her remains to California for burial.
A partial hearing for the purpose of plac-
ing the responsibility of the accident was
held by Superintendent Pitcairn, on Satur-
day. No conclusion has been reached, and
the investigation will be continued to-day.
The operator at Nineveh claims that he put
out the red signal, and Engineer McCor-
mick swears it was green, which means to 60
ahead, but run cautiously. The point
to determine is which man is right.
Mr. Mccormick, among his fellow railroad
men, bears the reputation of being one of the
most careful engineers on the road. In
deed, telegraph operator told a reporter
that he used extraordinary care in running
his engine. A number of train men who
we're talked to believe that what Mr.. Nc
Cormick says is correct.
George Miller, OF the City Assessors
office, who is an old Pennsylvania conduc-
tor and is still close to the railroad men,
said last evening that according to the
evidence the operator was to blame. 1t
seems that after McCormIck's train passed
the Nineveh tower, an employe who was
present asked the operator if the Western
express bad passed New Florence.
He replied that it had not,
and then his attention was called to the
green light. He claimed it was red, and
when he saw it was not it is said by the
witness that he changed it. If Mr.. Miller's
statement of the testimony is correct, and he
ought to know, then it would look as if the
Nineveh operator had put out the wrong
signal, and it was done by accident, but it
was something that was never expected to
occur.
So far as could be learned last evening,
the others injured in the wreck were doing
well, and no further deaths are anticipated.

OFFICER CARNEY SUSPENDED

For Taking a Dollar From Prisoner With
out Rendering Any Service Therefor.
Thomas Carney, a colored police officer,
was suspended yesterday by Inspector Nc
Aleese for taking dollar from prisoner.
The man had been arrested for drunkenness
and taken to the Twelfth ward station. He
gave Carney 81 to go to Washington avenue,
Allegheny, and notify his friends to come
over and pay his fine. The prisoner was
shortly after taken to Central station, to
await his removal TO the Workhouse to serve
a 30-day service in default of his fine.
The man was surprised that his friends
did not show up, and told Sergeant Gray
about giving the dollar to Carney The
Sergeant notified Inspector McAleese and
the latter sent for Carney, who said he went
to the house on Washington avenue, but was
unable to find the prisoners friends there.
A messenger was sent to the house, and
learned that Carney had not been there.
Carney will have trial this morning before
the Board of Police Captains.

tion was made by Gallagher's mother, who

MAY BE CALLED MURDER. i.
A BARRooM FIGHT THAT COST ROBERT
DALZELL HIS LIFE.

He Dies in Millvale While Still Insensib1e-
The Real Cause of His Death Mystery
Only Two Slight Bruises on His Body.
Robert Dalzell, aged % years, lies dead
at his brothers home in Millvale, and three
men are in the Seventeenth ward police sta
tion on the supposition of having murdered
him. The injuries which caused his death
were received in a barroom fight on Satur-
day night in Joseph Carline's saloon at the
foot OF Forty-third street. Dalzell was un-
conscious from the time of the fight While
the doctors attending him believe he died Of
congestion of the brain, only slight bruise
can be found on the mans face and another
scratch on his neck.
Captain Brophy was notified OF the affair
early yesterday morning and arrested Will
lam Johnston, an employe OF the Westing-
house Electric Light Company. whom he
believes is the man who struck Daizell.
Johnston lives on Forty-third street. A
little later Harry OFT and Michael Kane
were arrested for being implicated in the
affair. John Stagawalt, of Forty-third
street, was arrested last night as a witness
and Joseph Carline could not be found.
Kane and Johnston had nothing to say in
regard to the matter. OFT stated that he
was in the saloon, and that quarrel over a
test of strength between himself and Da]zelI
ensued, and that Dalzell wanted to fight,
but he declined. OFT states that this is all
he knows of the case. Stagawalt, when
arrested, stated that he was in the saloon
and saw William Johnston strike Dalzell,
he thought in the face, with his fist, and
then follow Daizell out of the saloon.
Stagawalt stated he went out also, and
found Dalzell lying on the pavement.
DIR. Marquis stated that about O'Clock
yesterday he was called to Carline's
saloon, and found Robert Dalzell
living unconscious. The only apparent in
jury on his person was slight scratch on
the left side of his head. Efforts were made
to revive the man, but were unsuccessful,
aud he was removed to the house of Martin
Cross, where Drs Marquis and Griffen con-
tinued to work with the man, but to no
avail. A short time previous to his death
he was seized with spasms and appeared to
have difficulty in swallowing, which, in
connection with slight bruise on the mans
throat, led the physicians to believe that he
had been struck on the throat.

He Stood on the Bridge Before Midnight
and Was Robbed.
John SchillIng. who lives on Sawmill
alley, Allegheny, was attacked by two men.
garroted and robbed about II o'clock on
Saturday night. He was on his way home
from this city across the Sixteenth street
bridge and just after entering it two men
sprang out on him. One of them put his
arm around Schilling's neck and choked
him and at the same time clapped his hand
over his mouth. The other man relieved
Schilling of hiG watch and chain and So g.
all the money he had. When they released
him he cried out and endeavored to hold
one of the men, but hard blow in the face
knocked Schilling down. The men then
ran to the Pittsburg side and toward the
river.
Four policemen and night watchman in
one of the mills heard Schilling's cry for
help and ran toward him. By the time he
had explained the matter the robbers had
made good their escape. Mr.. Schilling re-
ceived several cuts about the face in his
struggle with the men.

HOLIDAYS AND THE MARKETS.

They Decrease the Production and Largely
Increase the Consumption.
Hon. A. G. Robertson was talking yester-
day about his experiences in Europe. Mr.
Robertson is firm believer in holidays, and
in this connection said:
81 doubt if some European nations could
pull through at all, if it were not for the
many holidays they celebrate. It is nv
belief that holiday not only reduces pro-
duction, but large increases consumption.
and thus prevents a glut in the markets.
This country is away behind in the matter
of holidays, and in the means of spending
them pleasantly and proftably. In Europe
the Governments look alter this, and the
people are consequently more contented and
less eager in the race for wealth.
