TWO PRESSING NEEDS.
CHIEF BROWN WANTS A PATROL BOAT
AND A CITY HOSPITAL.

Increasing Danger of Fire on the River
Fropts-CIosius Up Streets Leading TO
Large Manufactories-strong Arguments
In Favor Of a Municipal Hospital.
Chief Brown, of the Department Of Pub
lie Safety, has again awakened to the
necessity of fire or police patrol boat for
the river front Of the city. The action Of a
lot of toughs who disported themselves on a
boat in the Allegheny river and defed ar
rest, affords him new argument for such a
provision. In talking Of the matter yester-
day Chief Brown said:
ave have IA miles of river front to look
after and no effectual means Of doing so. 1t
would be a great assistance to the police, and
its value for fire extinguishing purposes are
incalculable. If you have noticed, many
streets running down to the rivers are being
vacated, and are being occupied by large man
ufacturing establishments. If these catch hre
there is at present no need Of attacking them
but from one side. An engine cannot get
boat OF course, there would be no difficulty.
1t would not be necessary for the city to ex-
pend anv money. 1 would suggest that No. l
Engine House on Fourth avenue be sold and
the money applied to the purchase of the boat
to which the members of the company could
be drafted. We must have an institution of
this kind, and the sooner the better.
''rhere is another thing we ought to have,
and that is a municipal hospital. There is
plenty of room for 1t on the Pest House prop
erty, which embraces four and half acres
There are an number of cases we could send
there, beside the results of accidents. At
present while the West Penn, Mercy and
Homeopathic Hospitals pretty generally take
our cases, yet they object to admitting typhoid
fever and other infectious diseases. There
have been several cases where patients have
died while being carried from one hospital to
another seeking admitance. A municipal
hospital would also relieve the Poor Farm of
a number of cases that have no business
there"

THINKS PLANS MAY ALTER.

The Westinghouse People mt Work on 4
Motor Which May Win Over the d.
quesue Traction. Prejecsera-A Warning
to Go Slow.
The reported project Of the Duquesne
Traction people to build up large lighting
and power plant for manufacturing and
commercial purposes in connection with their
electric road, caused considerable gossip and
speculation yesterday. Particularly was this
SO because Of the report that the Thomson
Houston people were seeking this means Of
introducing their light in competition with
the Westinghouse in the home field.
A gentleman who is posted on the inner
condition of things in electrical circles said
yesterday concerning this matter: "It may
be well to 20 slow as to the final determination
Of the DuQuesne Electric Lighting Company
plans. It 30 happens that the WESTINGHOUSE
people have set themselves to work to produce
what they claim viii be by far the best motor In
the world-one which will be beyond the range
Of competition. This Is not a thing to be done
but already, they hold, in many essential par
nculars accomplished. The Pleasant Valley
road put on one of these new motors on the
Fourth of July, and It is liked better than any
other that the managers of the road have seem
Dut tnls Is NOT the ultlmate, even, as Mr.. West
1nghouse is now about the hardest worked man
In the city arranging for further improvements
which his company claims will leave the Thom-
son-Houston motor in the shade. 1t Is asserted
confidently that the superiority of the new
Westinghouse motor will oblige It's use on first
class roads. In this view, unless the deal is al
ready definitely closed by the Traction people
with the Thomson-Houston, it Is more than
likely yet that not the latter, but the Westing-
mousse electrical appliances will be employed.
II SO the prospect of competition in the lighting
business with Westinghouse company would
measurably vanish"

and many of those who have always been
voting the straight ticket will bolt il this fall
and vote for Pattison. A number of Methodists
throughout the county have declared that they
will vote for Pattison because he is regarded as
one of the leading members of that denomina-
ton in the state. The other element, which
will oppose Delamater very vigorously and
openly,is the oil men. Their animosity is wholly
due to the fact that the Republican nominee
instrument in having the Billingsley bill de-
feated. The oil men are determined to man
to vote against Delamater, and some of them
will make a canvass against him.
"DeIamater's majority will be small in
Washington county. The usual Republi-
can majority there is from 1,8O0 to
20O0 but if Delamater gets 500 majority
he can congratulate himself as having polled
big VOTE especially since the current of popular
feeling seems to be running SO swiftly against
him. With the exception of what is styled the

nomination of Andy Stewart for Congress for
the Twenty-fourth district. The selection of
Mr.. Stewart meets with universal approval,
and there Is no doubt that he will receive
Washington county's usual big majority"

plainf.
Census Supervisor Oliver has made a
startling discovery. Bill Scott's Allegheny
county farmer is apparently emigrating, as
the census returns show a decrease in the
population of the agricultural districts. Not
very great falling of, it is true, but still
enough to be noticeable. Mr.. Oliver is un-
able to give any reason for the decrease,
unless 1t is that the rural population Is
being dispossessed by the iron mills and oil
derricks; 1t is suggested that many of the
tneif lands Tor other purposes than raising
cereals, that they have permanently retired
from the pleasing but fatiguing pursuit of
following the plow.
There are still 25 census districts in the
county to hear from. Twenty Of these are in
the townships, three in the boroughs and one
IN each city. Mr.. Oliver hopes that they win
all be In by tomorrow or the next day.
Mr.. Oliver has investigated the complaints Of
Mellon street residents that they have not
been visited by the enumerator. This street is
in two districts. The returns from one district
have already been sent to Washington, and
from the other district contained the names
and other necessary information about several
OF the persons who say they have not been
seen.

returned home yesterday morning, and among
the Pattison shouters was "Billy" Bremen,
who said. when asked what he thought of Patti
sons election:
II think Pattison will get q big independent
vote from the Western end Of the State, as well
as what he can command in Philadelphia
county. There are very few kckers in the
party. OF course, it is to be expected, there
are some who are not satisfied with the nomin-
ation but they will be the hardest workers for,
the success of the ticket There is no feeling
against Pattlson personally. 1t is against his
managers, especially Mr.. Harrity, who, it ap-
pears, is not liked.
Il think Pattisons plan of taking the stump
fs good one, and will be the means of making
thousands of votes for him. He is q man of
ability. pleasant fluent talker, and the Re-
publicans that went to hear him in '82 will do
so again in 40. It Is these sober, thinking, in
dependent people who we expect to elect him."

The Democratic Ticket That Wallace
Was Anxious to Nominate,
BUT BLACK BROKE UP TIE DEAL.
Representative Hall Thinks Delamater Will
Lead by $4,000.
A CHANCE FOR DEMOCRATIC SENATOR

There is some inside history connected
with the Democratic State Con-
vention that is now only beginning to crop
out Few people know how near Judge
Silas M. Clark, of Indiana, and W. o..
Hensel came to being the Democratic nomi-
nees instead of Patt ison and Black. A
very important deal was manipulated by
ex-senator Wallace the night before the
convention, but the refusal Of Chauncey f.
Black to join the combination broke it up.
w. S. Gufy, who was and still is Wal
lace man, said last night: sIf we could
only have prevented Pattison from getting
ever would have been nominated. The
scheme was to put in the field Judge Clark
and W. q. Hensel, with Wallace as
State Chairman, and what ticket
that would have madel They could have
swept the State at election time without
any trouble, and when Wallace would have
jumped into the saddle and sounded his
bugle call every Democrat in Pennsylvania
would have responded. There was a win
ming combination, but Black wouldn't join
and without him we couldn't carry it
trough.
WALLACE WAS FOR IT.
"Wallace was heart and soul in it He
soon saw how things were going, and he
called meeting in my room. 1t was agreed
to bring out Judge Clark, and after the first
ballot Wallace was to throw his 134 delegates
to him. and with some others to nominate him.
Hensel was to be put in second place. wallace
stated that for the good of the party he would
retire, and go into the harness as State Chair
man. and give the Republicans an oid-time,
red-hot campaign. He wouldn't go IN, now
ever, unless they were sure that Judge Clark
could be nominated, and with Blacks help It
could have been done.

when he saw he was beaten, and drag Judge
Clark in to take his medicine The refusal OF
Black broke up the DEAL and it died there. /

been made on the first ballot that Wallace
would have been the man.

who are willing to contribute a cent. The

strong ticket as Judge Clark and Hensel was
turned down. After the convention there was
no enthusiasm, and Pattison had to pronounce
the benediction himself The delegates were
minus their hymn books, and the singing of
the closing song was dismal failure. Hensel
refused to make q speech, and Wallace

NEW MARKET IN ALLEGHENY.

ers the Matter-A Defective Boiler IN
the Library-Insurance Of the GARBAGE
Furnace Building.
There was some objection to paying sew
eral bills from the Carnegie Library at last
nights meeting of the Allegheny CITY
Property Committee, which should have
gone to the Library Committee, but they
were allowed to pass with the understand
ing that the library bills be referred to the
proper committee in the future.
The question of insuring the building
over the garbage furnace was referred to the
subcommittee on garbage.
. Two hundred and fifty dollars were appro-
priated for having City Hall and the Carnegie
Library papered and kalsomined. Two mans
Of the city were ordered to be purchased for
Superintendent Waddington, of the Carnegie
Library, reported to the committee that the
machinery in the library building Id E was as not as
had told him that the boiler was poor one.
and that the contractor would be compelled to
put in q better one. Nothing has yet been done
with 1t, and Mr.. Waddington was directed to
confer with Mr.. Scott IN reference to the
matter.
City Engineer Ehlers asked for some new
maps of the city, and the City Controller was
authorized to advertise for bids for litho-
graph stone and 1,0OO copies of the map.
In regard to the Diamond square in the First
ward. Mr.. Rudolph stated that the present
market house is too crowded. The income the
city derived from 1t last year was $l5, 900. and
this would be considerably increased if there
was more room. The First ward square Is va
cant, and the Market Committee think it
would be profitable to have an ad-
ditional market house on this square. The
Chairman of the City Property Committee
stated that last year subcommittee had been
appointed to attend to the removal of the hay
market elsewhere. but it had done nothing.
The sentiment of the committee did not seem
favorable to the project of a new market. Mr..
Kennedy wanted to put second story on the
present house and reserve the First ward
square for the new Allegheny government
building. The question of the market improve
ments was referred to a subcommittee COM
posed of Messrs, Dahlinger, Robinson and Ken
nedy to act in conjunction with the sub-com-
mittee from the Market Committee. The COM
mIttee then adjourned.
