The Post is doubtless entitled, il claims. to
the credit or discredit of contributing to bring
about the Districts railroad tale of woe. IL
has gone TO extremes in assisting the Pennsyi-
vania railroad to defeat every effort to make
the latter occupation of the city safer and less
disfiguring. 1t has destroyed the news value
of Its reports Of such public meetings as those
of the board Of trade by suppressing all sug-
Gestions Of improvements by this railroad,
whether contained in committee reports or
presidents address. though a. if to make the
omission conspicuous recommendations made
ut the same time concerning the Baltimore and
Ohio were published by it. 1t has spread rail-
road advertising over its editorial and
news columns, in which the grossest
pufYery Of this corporation has mingled

A GERMAN ROMANCE.
A Religious Difference Leads q Girl to |
Change Her Mind. |

A Religious Difference Leads a Girl to
Change Her Mind.
In hearing in case last evening before
Alderman McGarey where the charge was
larceny, peculiar romance was developed.
Christina Most. pretty German girl, ac-
cused August Bittner, of the Southside,
with OBTAINING some of her personal proper
ty consisting of clothing and jewelry.
The testimony brought ont this story:
Peter Bittner, a brother of the defendant,
and the young lady learned to love each
other in early childhood in the little Ger
man hamlet in which they lived. Their
families were quite intimate and well-to-do.
In the course of time the young couple were
engaged to be married. Before the cere-
monv was performed misfortune befell the
young mans family, and he was induced by
his brother, who had preceded him, to come
to America, and they settled on the South
side and both have been quite successful.
A month ago the girl arrived here with the
intention Of being married to Peter.
All the preparations for the performance
of the ceremony had been made when the
young LADY suddenly changed her mind,
and no amount of entreaty could persuade
her to do otherwise. She went to Allegheny
to live with a relative, and it was the
refusal of the brother to give up her cloth
ing that caused the suit. The intended
groom is a Catholic and she is Lutheran,
and after thinking the matter over she con-
cluded the religious difference would result
in unhappiness, and this is why she refused
to marry.
The suit was compromised. She agreed to
return the wedding ring and some money
given her by the groom that was to have
been.

ENLAR GING THE PEN.
Sleeping Apartments to be Built at Once for
the Female Prisoners.

Sleeping Apartments to be Built at Once for
the Female Prisoners.
The Board of Inspectors held q special
meeting at the penitentiary yesterday and
decided to proceed with the work of build
ing a sleeping apartment addition to the
female department of the institution. The
addition, when completed, will contain 40
cells, but it has not been decided whether to
complete it at once or build only the lower
tier of 20 cells at present. The wing will
be of brick, two stories high. and will be q
miniature copy of the new wing to the large
building. There has been considerable
material left over from the new wing of the
peniten tiary proper, and this will be util-
lied. A large part OF the work of construc-
tion will be done by the prisoners.
There are now % females in the peniten-
tiary, the greater number of whom are
m urderesses. This is almost three times as
many as were ever confined there at one.
time before. The average number of women
inmates up until the past year or SO was
about 10. Warden Wright does not regard
this as an indication that more crimes are
now being committed by women than
formerly, but he thinks it is evidence that
the courts have cast aside, in large meas
ure, their undue consideration for female
prisoners.

A MINISTER'S VIEW OF IT.
REV. DoNEHoo SAYS THE CHANCES OF
THE POOR ARE GOOD.

When Prices Are High the Poor Do Without
Wages Keep Away Povcrty-He Antlci.
Dntes an Easy Winter.
Rev. E. R. Donehoo, who has spent
nearly 25 years in charity work, and who
for ten yearswas agent Of the Improvement
of the Poor Society, was seen at his home in
the West End. He has had considerable
practical experience, and his observations
ought to be counted as of some value. He
is rather of the opinion that the coming
winter will not be SO extremely hard on the
poor people.
"You will fnd," said he, "that there will
be plenty of wheat and potatoes. There is
an immense wheat crop, and while the early
potatoes are said to be scarce am told there
will be good crop of the late ores. Meat
will probably be little high in price, but 1
think there will be plenty Of it. There will
not be any fruit, but then fruit is really
luxury tor the poor people and they can get
along very well without it. have always OBJ
served that when the prices of staple articles
were high, there was the least real suffering
among the poor classes. And the statistics
of both public and private charities will
show that when prices have ruled low, some
counteracting cause has operated adversely
on the poor.
''Of course, there is class of people who
are always poor. They are not criminallv
so. They are poor from force of circum-
stances, and because they have no bread
winners; or because there is but one to pro-
vide for very large family; the head of
the family may be sick or crippled, or there
may be other causes for it. Poverty is per-
manently in our midst to a certain extent,
and we will never get rid Of it. But for Is
years poverty has been largely diminished,
because we have had more work at good
wages, the winters have been milder, and
there has been plenty of everything. -.,
''It is the extras that always work against
the poor. Balance the account Of any poor
family at the end of a week and you will
find that the big outlay was not for the
necessaries of life. 1t is the foolish waste
of money for luxuries that grinds them
down, and I think pinching winter is some
times a good thing to let them see their mis-.
take. 1t would be different If the people
had no work. But the only disadvantage
threatened now, that can see, is the scarcity
of articles which the people can do without,
and be better off for doing so. No, don't
think the coming winter will be any harder
than common to the poor.

BODIES UNCLAIMED.
TWO coRPSES AWAITING THE ARRIVAL
OF THEIR RELATIVES.


Friends Refuse TO Remove the Body OF a
Pauper-Another Case whero a Inv 1.
Needed-Lookins for Dead Patients
People.
A case bearing out what was stated in
The DISPATCH, yesterday. in regard to
persons refusing to take care of relatives
who have become burdens on the city,
turned up at Dix mont yesterday. Nelson
B. Goe, an insane man, died at the hospital,
Tuesday night, and the mans relatives re-
fused to do anything about the disposition
of the body. The latter laid there all day
yesterday and up until last night the au-
thorities had heard nothing from them.
The dead man has a rich uncle living in
this city, and II he does not bury the body,
it will have to be disposed of at the expense
of the institution.
Goe was an inmate of the Western Peni-
tertiary, having been sent there from
Somerset county, under the name of VIM.
Mitchell. He was known as prisoner
S5O6, and his term expired May 80 of the
present year. He was i'll and insane at the
time OF his release and Rev. Father Cane
vim, who looks after the spiritual welfare of
the Catholic prisoners in the "pen," had
him admitted to the Mercy Hospital. The
physicians there could do nothing with him,
and on June II, he was removed to Dix
mont. He has brother who "done time"
in the pen and who is also an inmate of
Dixmont at the present time.
A telephone message to the hospital last
night brought back the answer that the
body was still unclaimed. 1t was stated
that Goe has relatives mere, among them a
rich uncle, but the latter refused to move
the body. A law that will enable the au-
thoritles to get after people of this kind is
badly wanted by hospital authorities.
Goe is the man who jumped over the hill
side, on Bluff street, several weeks ago, and
was rescued while hanging to a clump of
bushes BY Captain King, of No. 8 engine
house, and Building Inspector Hoffman.

A Building and Lonn Association Agent
Arrested for Crooked Work.
Franklin Butler, local agent for the
Eastern Building and Loan Association, OF
New York, was arrested yesterday on a
charge OF false pretense. The complaint
was made by Mrs. Boyle who keeps grocery
store on Bedford avenue. She said she paid
Butler, who also keeps restaurant at 115
Grant street, $50 to become shareholder
so that she could borrow 81 900. He put her
off for three months and then refused her
the loan and demanded her certificate. She
appealed to the police and the arrest fol-
lowed.
While Detective Shore was hunting for
Butler, R. W. Andrews, of Syracuse, Gen.
eral Manager of the Eastern Building and
Loan Association, arrived in Pittsburg for
the purpose of having the agent arrested be-
cause of numerous other complaints having
been sent in to the Syracuse Office. He paid
Mrs. Boyle her money, and the police are
satisfied the organization is perfectly
honest concern,
