The sale of the old Poor Farm is not yet
settled fact W. W. Thompson, ESQ.,,
yesterday took an appeal from Judge Ew-
ing's decision in the suit Of Straub against
the city of Pittsburg to prevent the sale Of
the old Poor Farm to NJ. T. Baird and the
purchase of the Stewart farm for the new
location. Judge Ewing held that the sale
was legal, but decided against the purchase.
Mr.. Stewart has had enough, and is willing
to let the matter rest so far he is concerned,
more especially as he has an offer for his
farm which will net him more money than
the city proposed to pay. Mr.. Straub,
however, is not satisfied with Judge Ew-
ing's confirmation ofthe sale, and has carried
the matter up to the Supreme Court.
Attorney Thompson said yesterday that
the appeal reopeDed the case, and the Su-
preme Court would have an opportunity to
review the whole matter. The action taken
is surely preliminary, and Mr.. Thompson
has not yet prepared his statement, which is
expected to allege errors in the Judges de-
cIsion as we'll as the original charge of col
lusion between Mr.. Baird and Carnegie
Bros & Co. ..t e
CAN SIGN THE DEED.
W. Fl. House, ESQ.,, of the City Attorneys
Office, was asked what effect the appeal
would have upon the completion of the
sale of the farm by the city. He said: SIT
does not necessarily have any effect. If the
Mayor sees fit he can sign the deed and the
property will be transferred upon receipt of
the purchase money in accordance with the
agreement. If the Supreme Court should
afterward decide that the sale is illegal, the
city would refuse the money, and the pur-
chasers would have give up the property
and returned the deed, which would then be
cancelled"
The deed for the transfer of the property
to Carnegie Bros. has been prepared for sew
eral days. but owing to Mayor Gourley's
sickness and consequent absence from his
office, nothing further could be done. BE
His Honor was seen at his residence last
evening, and was asked whether he would
sign the deed now or await the final decision
OF the Supreme Court. He replied: "W bile
1 have no feeling whatever about the sale,
and believe that Judge Ewing will be sus-
tanned by the higher court, believe it
would be
WISER TO WAIT
until the matter is settled forever by the Su-
preme Court. 1 do not think such delay
will work any injury to the purchasers, and
if the Supreme Courts decision should be
adverse, it would save the city some expense
and trouble. AS / understand it, If the
city made the deed, and the sale-
was declared illegal, it would be
necessary to enter suit of ejectment
against the purchasers of the property 10
recover possession. The Supreme Court
convenes here on the first Monday in Oc-
tober, and will reach the Allegheny county
cases about the first week in November.
The delay can hardly exceed six or seven
weeks, and as this is hardly the time of
year that contemplated improvements are
commenced L do not see why there is any
need for haste. No, do not think shall
sign the deed until after the Supreme Court
has passed upon the sale. !" a '-

the difference. The little fellows in
the business are the ones that suffer the
most. Much of the paper made IN America

The Plnn Which They Have Contrived to
Defeat the Unions.
rBY DUSLAP's CABLE coMPANY.l
LONDON, September 27.-The shipping
federation opens to-day, and at ali the ports
there is register of the laborers. All the
men will be required to sign as unionists
or non-unionists, and will also add
whether they are willing to work in
compan:- with union or non-union
colleague, The practical working of the
scheme will resolve itself thus. In case the
master of ship finds he has any trouble
among his crew. by reason of the fact
that unionists object to working with men
who do not belong to the union, he can in
the future go to the local officer of the Ship
Owners Federation and complete his crew
from the register he will find in the charge
of that official.
This will have an immediate effect on the
labor world, as it is a direc; attack on the
union, and John Burns in consequence will
find he has his hands full to meet the move
ment.
