TWO SUFFERING WOMEN.

The Wife of IN Allegheny Contractor Wnn-
ders From Home While Crazed by ILL.,
ness-The Sad Plight of n Penn Avenue
Widow.
Mrs. Edward j. McIlvaine, wife of the
Allegheny contractor, of No. 60 Grant ave-
nue., was found BY the Pittsburg police
pacing up and down the Union bridge in a
frenzied manner about 9 o'clock last even
ing. She was taken to the Central station
In q patrol wagon. As she was being car
ried inside her screams SO affected a Miss
Martin, of Braddock, who was passing, that
the latter tainted, and also had to be carried
in and resuscitated by the police matron.
Inspector McAleese sent for Mr.. McIlvaine,
who had been making a vigorous but vain
search for his wife. Mr.. McIlvaine said
his wife had but recently suffered from
very severe ill5ess, which had apparently
resulted in affecting her mind.
Mrs. Dinah Bridges. middle-aged widow
who lives on Willow street near Fortieth
street. will probably be taken care of to-day
by the Department of Charities. Some of
her neighbors notified the department yes
terday that she has been confined to bed for
about year, and is still in a helpless con-
dition. In addition to diseased body the
unfortunate woman's mind is affected, ac-
cording to the certificate of Lawrenceville
physician, who formerly was her attendant.
During the time Mrs. Bridges has been
sick she has received attention from humane
neighbors, but, as her inirmities are of
permanent character, they desire to be re-
lieved. She is supported by two sons.

THEIR REASONS IN DETAIL,
Why tho Seventeenth Ward People Ask for
the LnwrenceviIle Library.


Why the Seventeenth Ward People Ask for
the LnwrenceviIle Library.
The committee of residents of the Seven
teenth ward having in charge the collection
of information to be presented TO Andrew
Carnegie to induce him to locate the Law
renceville branch library in that ward, held
a meeting in the Lincoln Club rooms last
evening. They were in session about three
hours, and drew up lengthy document
setting forth their reasons.
1t states that the Seventeenth ward is the
center of population in Lawrenceville, and
that closely connected with it are the
boroughs of Millvale, ,Sharpsburg and Etna,
on the north side of the Allegheny river.
No particular site is suggested, but Mr..
Carnegie is requested to select one
of the eight squares between the
Arsenal and the Allegheny Gene
terry gate, on Butler street. The members
say that desirable location can be secured
at almost any point along there. They sug-
gest that the boroughs named will soon be
annexed to the city, and remind Mr.. Car
negie that the Allegheny and St. Mary's
cemeteries, the Arsenal Park, which the
committee say will positively be, and the
new Shoenberger Hospital will attract
large number of people to the
Seventeenth ward, and that it
crowning attraction Of them all. The popu-
lation. number OF children attending the
public and parochial schools, etc., are also
given. The committee will have three copies
of the letter printed in typewriter, and will
appoint subcommittee to visit Mr.. Car
negie and present it to him when he arrives
in this city. The committee will meet again

The Gangs Robbing Towns Along the Penn.
sylvanin Rond.
The vernal tramp is beginning to appear
at number of places along the Pennsyl-
vania road. His objective point for the
next six months will be the wild West.
Special Agent Hampton Houghton is kept
busy with his force of detectives keeping
the loafers away from the railroad. The in
habitants in the smaller towns suffer the
most. Mr.. Hampton says that Jeanette
and Johnstown have been regular harvests
for them. The Burgess of Jeanette has
given them notice that every tramp caught
in the town will be employed in improving
the streets. Johnstown's Mayor has also
adopted similar policy.
In the towns along the railroad the gangs
rob spring houses, and sometimes even
break into residences. They are very fond
of food, clothing, jewelry and money, but
they are not particular, and though they
can't carry off real estate, they do not draw
the line on personal property. The tramps
between here and Johnstown are the ones
who have spent the winter In the coke
regions. They sleep in the warm ovens and
near the fires. All OF them caught on the
Pennsylvania road Will be promptly jugged.

HIS TROUBLES ENDED.
DR.. Robert Sommers Marshall, of Al
legheny, Commits Suicide by
A SHOT THROUGH THE TEMPLE.
His Body Found in Field on q Farm on
Perrysville Avenue.
ILL HEALTH IS THE CAUSE ASSIGNED

DR.. Robert Sommers Marshall, Of 1888
Buena Vista street, Allegheny, WIS found
dead near the st. Charles street tollgate
about o'clock last evening. Mr.. A. G..
Duncan, with his friend, Mr.. Parke, was
passing the Elliott farm, on their way to
an oil well in which they are interested out
Perrysville avenue, when their attention
was called to the PROSTATE body OF DR.. Mar
shall. An empty revolver Law by his side,
and wound in the right temple indicated
the passage of the bullet.
The Chief of Police was Immediately
notified, and the body was taken by the
patrol wagon to Herman & Ebbert's un-
dertaking establishment, where it lay until
II o'clock, when 1t was removed to the
beautiful residence that DR.. Marshall had
but recently taken at the top of the hill on
Buena Vista street.
As to the cause of the suicide nothing can
be stated with absolute certainty. DR..
Marshall's friends state that he had been
in i'll health for three or four years, and
that he must have taken his life in fit Of
temporary arrangement.
WHAT THE POLICE FOUND.
The police officials say that among the
effects handed over to them was a package
of powder, resembling morphine or cocaine.
This. with few letters, Sc 25 in money, a
bunch of keys and a box of cartridges. was
all that was found on the person of the de-
ceased.
DIR. Marshall left his home about noon,
seeming to be in his usual spirits. His
family became alarmed at his long absence,
and had really instituted search for him.
before the sad news of the suicide had
reached them from Chief of Police Murphy.
The Coroner's inquest will be held this
morning.
The deceased was 43 years of age, a son of
Mr.. Robert H. Marshall, of No. 43 North
avenue, Allegheny; he graduated at West
ern University, Allegheny. and subse-
quently in medical colleges in Vienna and
Paris. Twelve years ago be was married to
leaves four little children. He lived for a
time on Market street, Allegheny. In late
years he has not practiced medicine. DR..
Jones, of the Fifth Avenue Methodist
Church, of this city, will probably officiate
at the funeral.
HIS PERSONAL APPEARANCE.
DR.. Marshall was a fine looking man,
although in late years, he had grown thin
and emaciated. His friends state that he
had given himself up entirely to study, and
he certainly led retired life, as few of his
neighbors IN Buena Vista street knew him
or knew that he was physician. The ele-
CANT residence bore no sign of his profess
sion. His father was seen last night, but
was too much broken down to talk over the
sad event. He had been much worried over
his son s fast failing health.
The deceased was an only son and all that
could be done for him was done. He had
been to Europe several times; sometimes
staying year or two. No particular cause
had been assigned for his illness further
than general breaking down of nervous
strength.

THE INCREASE OF CRIME.
Jail Warden Berlin Gives Some Interesting
Figures on the Subject.

Jail Warden Berlin Gives Some Interesting
Figures on the Subject.
Jail Warden Berlin thinks crime is in
creasing in Allegheny county at a greater
rate than the population. In 1887 the Jail
received 5,319 prisoners, in 1888. 5,840 and
in 1889, 1907 prisoners. A partial e1plana-
ton for the increase in 1889 is given in the
County Controllers Office. Last year
crusade was made against train jumpers,
on the railroads running out of the city,
and the offenders were generally sentenced
to Jail for from three to five days. The
constables received 81 from the county for
each prisoner delivered at the Jail, and
some 80 or 40 such cases occurred each
month.
Finally, County Solicitor Geyer decided
that the county was not liable for this fee,
and the Controller refused to pay 1t, where
upon the commitments Tor train jumping
fell of.

THREE THOUSAND OVENS IDLE.
The Cookers Threaten Trouble If Any Dis
crimipation In Made.

The Cokerg Tnreoten TrouDle II any D1ss
crimipatio In Made.
The following telegram was received last
night from Scottdale: "Nearly 600 coke
ovens were blown out by the Frick and Nc
Ciure Coke Companies this week. No one
plant was entirely shut down, and by the
equalization of work a large number OF miners
were saved from being entirely thrown out
of employment. A labor official stated yes
terdav that if the Mcclure Coke Company
shut down the entire LemoIt plant, as in
tended, rupture might be the result.
"He said the miners would not tolerate
any discrimination. The Mcclure CON-
pany will close no plant unless it is neces-
sary. If the Lemont plant is blown out it
will be for no other reason than the lessened
demand for product. About 5000 ovens are
now out of blast in this region"
A conference between Superintendent
McFadden, of the Whitney Coke Works,
and Secretary c. NJ. Parker was held, but
no settlement was reached. Contrary to ex-
pectations only 500 men were out on strike
in the Smithton district this morning.

charge of the renting of Music Hall A
motion that the members of the City Prop
erty Committee should at all times have

able discussion.

too much as though the members of the
committee wanted to deadhead their way
into concerts. Mr.. Einstein thought if
members wanted to go into the hall they
should pay for the privilege the same as
anybody else. The motion, however, was
finally adopted. Mr.. Lare moved that a
competent organist, who would at stated
times give free recitals, be regularly en-
gagged. The motion was referred.

WHY RUBBER is SCARCE.
The Natives Hadn't the Money to Gather
the Crcp.

The price OF rubber has been advanced 8
cents, but local dealers say that this is only
drop In the bucket. There will be a
heavy advance in all rubber goods in the
next 80 days. 1t is not because syndicate
has bought up large quantity of rubber,
but because the crop has not been gathered
A local dealer explained the situation
yesterday. Said he: THE men who put up
the money to have the crop of rubber gath
cred failed to do it this year. So far as
know the gum trees of South America pro-
duced as much as ever, but the people not
of the crop was wasted. The result is a
scarcity, and heavy advance in price. I
don't care to say how much it will 60 up,
but it will be more than cents"
