Mr.. WOOG'S HOTEL EIFFEL.

The Penny Property ON SmithfieId Street
Leased for High Class Hotel Purposes
What Mr.. WOog Intends TO Have-S25,.
900 to be Expended In improvements.
The first extensive move in downtown
localities looking to the receiving of a
license as portion of an additional hotel
was made yesterday by Mr.. Frank Woog,
late co-lessee of the Monongahels House,
Through Mr.. E. D. WIngenroth, the
Fourth avenue real estate dealer, Mr.. Woog
yesterday secured number of leases which
gave him control of the Penny property,
opposite City Hall on Smithfeld street,
Nos. 5O4 and 5O6. The lessee of the TAILOR
shop was bought out for $500. and the
lease, running for two years at S., 900 year,
was extended two years more at an in
creased rental. Mr.. Miller, the proprietor
OF the cigar store in the other half of the
building, will remain in possession. The
upper three stories of the building will be
controlled by Mr.. Woog.
That gentleman, in speaking of his inten-
tions, said last night: "The ground floor now
occupied by the tailor shop will be taken up
by the hotel Office and a fine bar The entire
second story will be devoted to first-class
restaurant dining room with several private
dining rooms for parties. The main room
will seat at least 100 people. A kitchen and
pantry will be built at the back of the
building. The third and fourth stories will
be devoted to bedrooms am not able to say
how many of them there will be until after
examining the property more in detail. I
expect to expend at least $25, 900 in fitting
up the establishment, and am going to make
it a handsome family restaurant.
Nothing can be done until April 1,
when the work will be Immediately begun.

name that will be considered new in this

THAT STANDARD RIVAL.

on lEeh DonbtfuI Whether the Octopus
win Ever Have Competltor-NO Stock
Taken in the Story.
Two or three times year reports have
been sent out from New York stating that a
combination was about to be formed Of
either home or foreign capitalists who would
enter into competition with the Standard
Oil company by building pipe lines to the
sea board from the oil region in Western
Pennsylvania. A report was sent out from
New York yesterday to the effect that
foreign capitalists had purchased a large
number.of oil wells in Western Pennsyl-
vania and would Immediately commence
putting down pipe lines and pumping oil to
the coast.
A number of oil men were asked yester-
day to give their opinions Of the scheme.
By the majority the idea was ridiculed, but
there were others who believed thatsuch
scheme was possible, and it was intimated
that Joe Craig who recently sold his inter-
est in the Globe Refining Company to the
Standard was in with the deal, and was ins-
trumental in having the foreigners invest
their money in pipe lines.
A prominent broker on Wood street said:
81 don't doubt that foreigners are looking
for an investment of their money in this
country. Iknow was approached some
time ago by gentleman in this city who
said that if could direct him to any con-
Germ which was paying per cent on the
money invested, he would secure the capital
to purchase it, provided that it did not cost
more than S10,OOO,OOO. II they could make
that profit in. oil do not see why they
should not invest"
Other claimed that there is not enough
oil to supply two companies, and that
second company is not needed. The oil
element, however, as a whole look upon the
story with doubtful eyes, and until they see
the new line laid will hardly credit it.

THAT FORBES CONTRACT.
The Money May be Absorbed for Other Pur-
poses Pending the Dispute.

The Money May be Absorbed for Other Pur-
poses Pending the Dispute.
There is at present very pretty chance
for the sinking fund of the city to get con-
siderable lift. The appropriation of $50, 900
for paving Forbes street, is still to the credit
of the Department of Public Works, and
nothing as yet has been determined upon as
to how it shall be done. Chief Bigelow was
asked if work would be commenced on the
street before the conclusion of the fiscal
year, as otherwise the appropriation might
be carried into the sinking fund. He re-
piled that it was difficult to say; there were
yet 20 days. in which work might be COM
menced, but no contracts had been made,
nor could they be, as he had said before,
without the action of the Department of
Awards. When that would be taken or
whether it would or not be he was unable
to say.
Controller Morrow, when asked the status
of the paving project in connection with the
appropriation said: Eyes there is such an
appropriation, and probably the sooner it is
used the better. It is customary to carry
such unexpended appropriations over into
the sinking. fund. shall not at present
say what shall do in the premises. have
carried over appropriations for special pur-
poses once or twice without placing them in
the sinking fund but"
And here the Controller stopped, leaving
the inference to be drawn more from his
tone and manner than his words that this
appropriation stood in imminent danger of
being absorbed unless the Department of
Awards came to conclusion as to how the
work should be done, and when it should be
commaneed

ALABYRINTH SCHEME
Proposed as an Additional Attraction
for the City's New Park.
CHIEF BlGELOW LIKES THE PLAN.
Winding Walks Among Box TrOeS to Puzzle
Pleasure Seekers.
TWO CELEBRATED ONES IN OLD EUROPE

The latest suggestion made to Chief
Bigelow on the park attraction question was
somewhat in the nature of a novelty in this
latitude at least. 1t was the establishment
of maze or labyrinth, a place where, like
the License Court, it is very easy to enter,
but exceedingly hard to get out of without
assistance. The plan shown below was SUBJ
mitted to Chief Bigelow yesterday, and he
appeared to be highly gratifed with the
idea. He said: 81 have been looking up
that subject, and only day or two ago 1
searched encyclopedias and other works
Of reference for plan of this
kind, but failed to end one. 1t
would be a great source of amusement
as well as exercise for the children as we'll
as grown people to try their skill in finding
their way out Of place where they volunta-
rlly put themselves. 1t would convey
good moral lecture, also cautioning people
what tangie they may get themselves into
when they have not got the key of the
situation. 1 have seen labyrinth down at
New Orleans, and lost myself SO hopelessly
in it that was glad of the guidance of a
watchman to get me out of the maze in
which had placed myself by the payment
OF trite. You can wander for hours in such
q place, and have no idea of where you are,
and the more you try to extricate yourself
the more hopelessly you are involved"
LABYRINTHs THAT PAY.
The plan submitted to Chief Bigelow was
based on the two large mazes in Hampton
Court, England, and the Jardin d d'Acclimi-
tation, Paris, which are well patronized,
and pay largely to the revenues Of both in
stitutions. In the English labyrinth it costs
penny to enter the puzzle, but very rarely
can any visitor get out without help. The
walks are four feet wide, and the walls are
are Of box trees, clipped and trimmed in

NOTHING NEW SUB SOLE.

This Winter 50 far Only Duplicate of That
of 1S26.27.
Mr.. Samuel B. Wilson, an officer of the
Common Pleas court, states that he can rec
ollect an entire winter as soft as the present.
1t was that of 1864 Mr.. Wilson's fam
lily lived II miles from Pittsburg, up Char
tiers creek. The roads became so bad that
some people did not attempt to drive to the
city for three months, finding walking the
entire distance less laborious. During the
entire winter the mud never froze sufficient
ly to carry horse, and cattle and horses
mired in barnyards, and it was neces sary to
keep watch over them to save the strong
from killing the weak. Business in the
country was at standstill, except so far as
the transportation of absolute necessaries was
concerned. The country suffered particu-
larly either by reason of poor crops or from
epidemic subsequently.
History seems to repeat itself meteorologi-
cally as in other respects, and as that soft
winter 63 years ago was followed by the
grand "star-shower" and the cholera FIVE years
later, we may thank our stars II we escape
with no more infection than influenza. It
would at least be good sense to recollect and
act on the ADVICE OF Lord Paimerston to the
Scotch Kirk, viz: That in praying and
working to avert a scourge, lay primary
emphasis on the latter. It wouldn't be q
bad idea to begin fumigating sewers and
washing streets and alleys even in January.
The strangest thing in the light of Mr..
Wilson's experience, is that the farmers in
the section of which he speaks have not
learned wisdom in 63 YEARS. Their roads
this winter are worse than they were in the
winter Of 1826-27, for then there were no
coarse stones thrown on the roads and If they
wore down to the stratifed rocks solid bot
tom was obtained; but now they are not
safely navigable for either floating or
wheeled craft on account of the loose rocks
in the channel. In this respect art has not
improved on nature, though $50, 600, 900
have been expended on alleged Allegheny
highways since then.
Some people affect to wonder at crime, and |
yet object to putting workhouse, Jail and |
penitentIary toughs to work on these roads. |
Organized labor has no room 10 kick, for the |
work would benefit all alike, not even ex-
cepting the prisoners.

BONDING TIE DEBT.


La NorIa Stockholders Need $3.50. .OOO-HOW
Ore Was Worked at Loss Of SS Per
Ton-Kvidences of Bad Management on
Every Hand.
A committee of three consisting Of Messrs.
II. S. Paul, John 7. Patterson and DR.. G.
T. Jacoby, all stockholders in the La No
ria Gold Mine Company met yesterday pur-
suant to appointment by the Board of Di-
Gectors to discuss the affairs of the company
and devise the best means of raising the
necessary funds to hquidate the debts of the
concern, now aggregating So, 900 and suf-
icient surplus amount to resume work at
the mines In an interview with Mr.. Paul,
he said:
''Our committee discussed matters gener-
ally, and several ideas were suggested as to
the most forcible mode of procedure, but as
vet no place has been formulated for presen-
tation to the Board of Directors. The re-
port of the work so far accomplished has
not been of a very qualifying or re-
assuring character as is evidenced
in the fact that 60, 900 tons of ore have been
worked at loss of s. per ton, the yield be-
ing S13 per ton and the cost SIG. Our plan
will probably be to bond the stock, raising
say S15O,O0O. This would pay off the debt
and leave us working capital of about
$50, 900. This plan heartily approve, and
would most cheerfully respond to for any
reasonable amount, and 1 believe that the
same spirit of confdenc eexists probably as a
rule"
A call upon another gentleman prominent
in the management of the compsny's affairs
revealed further confidence in the ultimate
success Of the mines. He said "The stuff
is in the ore, but as yet we haven't been
able to get it out in paying quantities
Whether the fault lies in our manner of
treatment or in the ore remains yet to be de-
cided. The mine must have been worked
first great many years ago, probably by
the Spaniards. The Oldest woman in
Lenora, now 80 years of age, says she can
remember as a child that her mother
used to whip her for playing
near the mouth of the shaft, and
stated when she did so that she had been
whipped for the same offense when she was
a child, and the mine was then as it is now.
All effort to trace the history OF its early
working has proved futile.
"The old work extended at an angle of23o
265 feet into the earth. with an opening 60
feet wide. Then perpendicular shaft was
sunk, intersecting the. line of the other at
distance of 300 feet from the surface. This
shaft has been filled up to great extent by
the wash of debris from a neighboring
and the first work will be de-
voted to cleaning it out, and perhaps deep
ening it 1t Is estimated that at least ST.
OO0, 900 were expended by the first workers,
but even tradition does not have an estimate
Of the gains. The present company has ex-
pended SO far $3.50, 600. The machinery and
all the appliances are of the most approved
order, and everything is in readiness to push
the work rapidly when the aforesaid ques-
ton of finance is satisfactorily solved. From
the general tenor there is little danger of any
protracted delay in the matter"

Shortly after . o'clock yesterday after
noon an accident of very serious nature
occurred in the freight sheds in the Balti-
more and Ohio yards at the foot of Ross
street. 1t seems that gang of track hands
were at work repairing the tracks just
where they enter the sheds. A shifting en-
gine backed down box car on the track
where Michael Chesire, 35s years old, and
Michael Pasquell, an Italian q years old,
were at work. The two men did not hear
the cars approach, and before they could be
warned OF their danger, the car backed
down, crushing both men beneath the
wheels. Ambulances were Immediately
summoned and the injured men taken to
hospitals, Pasquell to the Homeopathic and
Chesire to the West Penn, for treatment.
Both men were horribly crushed, and their
deaths is only question of time. Pasquel1
is married and lived at 208 Grant street.
Chesire was single and lived in Soho.
