Died

l
after a few days illness, with pneu,
monia, on the 21st December, 1889.
MRS. MARY ELMIRA Ross, wife OF
Col. J. A. SNYDER, in the 49th year
of her age.
| Another star has declined anoth.
er pilgrim "cFossed over the river to
rest under the shade of the trees
And O.! the sad bereayed hearts
she leaves behind!
MRS. SNIDER was native of
Albemarle county, Virginia, the
daughter of Rev. John B. Ross, D.
d., who filled several important
pulpits in his day in Savannah, Ga,
Frederick, Nd, and in Virginia.
She had fine classical education /;
and was thus well qualified to be
useful to others. At the early age
of thirteen she cousecrated her life
to Gods service by uniting with the
Presbyterian church. Soon after her
marriage, December IL, 1871, she
united by letter, with the Rocky
Mount church, in whose bounds she
ever afterwards resided. She en-
gagged diligently in Sabbath school
work, always promptly in her seat
at the sanctuary services and was
liberal in contributing TO all benevo-
lent objects, at home and abroad
Her home was the home of ministers
while on their missions of Christ
Her glad smile of welcome, and the
warm cordial greeting of Gods
ministers, will not soon be forgotten.
In the language of an intimate
friend who was with her during her
last illness: "She was a lovely
christian character, so pure, so de
voted to her Masters service, that
she has left bright example for MS
all to follow" She was always
thinking and doing good; regular
attendant in Gods sanctuary, no
matter of what denomination the
preacher was; and contributed lib
orally to all. AS mother, she de-
voted her life and talents to the
of her children, that
they might be thoroughly educated;
a loving and true friend, a tender
wife, she was one whom all eau call
blessed"
MRS. SNYDER was the mother of
eight children. only four of whom
survive her. These four are sons.
How they will miss her tender and
wise counsels, her affectionate at
tentions! her earnest prayers! And
her stricken husband! He loses all
that a loving, tender wife conld
give, and all the aid a fond mother
could bestow, in training their off
spring for usefulness and Gods
glory ! And the entire community
in which she moved, have lost a
friend! And when they laid her
remains away in Bellevue's
cemetery, by the side of four lovely
it was with the joyful ex-
pectation that they would meet her
again, con the bright and shining
Shore"
Finished now her earthly mission,
Ended now her pilgrim days;
Hope is changed TO full fruition;
Faith to sight, and prayer to praise.

GREAT CATCH OF FISH.
Mr.. Miller Saw Them Pull Out Five Tons at
Atlantic City.

Mr.. Miller Saw Them Pull Out Five Tons at
Atlantic City.
Since Charles z. Miller, the chief clerk at
the Monongahela House, has returned from
Atlantic City he is telling some tall fish
stories. He went there to recover from a
slight touch of pneumonia, and he wants his
friends to remember that he is as well as he
ever was It was reported that he was dying,
but it will take more than pneumonia to kill
this genial hotel man, or the fish tales he
tells.
''Do you want to hear true fish story" I"
he said yesterday. "Greatest catch ever
made at Atlantic City Postmaster General
Wanamaker and / were witnesses. Well,
listen. Just before the last storm the fish
ermen set large net. The porpoises were
very sportive that day, and drove the blue
fish by the thousands into the trap. Like
the ancient Apostles, when they tried to
raise the net they couldn't on account of
the great weight, and they had to
wait for low tide. The entire mass tipped
the scales at five tons," and Mr.. Miller
wants to know if any truthful fisherman
can beat this record.
When the storm was raging and the big
waves began to cover the meadow and
threatened to inundate the island he thought
il was time to leave Atlantic City and HE
himself homeward. He got here finally
after running a narrow escape of being
stranded in two feet of water.

RUN DOWN AT LAST.
GALLAGHER, OF OWL GANG FAME, LO.
GATED IN The COLUMBUS PEN.

He Was Arrested in the Buckeye Capital for
Picking Pockets in Street Car-Story Of
His Numerous Daring Escapes From His
Captors.
Anthony Gallagher, the captain of the no
torious "Owl Gang" whose depredations in
the Hill district excited such terror couple
of years ago, has been located at last. Gal
lagher gained much notoriety at the time
through his long defiance of the police and
his final daring escape while on his way to
the workhouse. He was arrested time and
again for different offenses, but as nothing
definite could be brought home to him, he
would be sent to the workhouse BY the po-
lice magistrates. This only seemed to mean
freedom to Gallagher, for by means of the
habeas corpus or other devices he would be
at liberty in few days, to the bewilderment
of the police.
The gang was finally run down, however,
and Gallagher and number of his follow
ers arraigned in the Criminal Court for sew
eral atrocious ofenses. The trial occupied
a week, but the prisoners were finally con-
victed and sentenced by Judge Ewing to a
long term in the workhouse. Gallagher re-
ceived several years and was started for the
workhOuse. The prisoners were rlaced in
charge of Deputy Sheriff F. G. NegIey, now
tipstatf of the Criminal Court, and another
deputy. On the way to Claremont Gala
CHER obtained permission to go into the law
atory of the car. While there lie raised the
window and jumped through it, though the
train was going at full speed. The train
was stopped, but Gallagher had a good
start and was not seen again.
Years rolled by, but Mr.. Negley did not
forget abe man who escaped from him in
such a daring manner. A few days ago he
accidentally obtained clew to Gallagher's s
wherea bouts. Acting on it he wrote to De-
tectlve Murphy, of Columbus, O., and from
him received the information that Gala
CHER was there in the hands of the
law, he and Detective Bergin, of Co.
lumbus, having arrested Gallagher,
who was going under the name
of Peter Grant, and companion
named Bates for picking pockets on a
street car. Gallagher received IS months
and Bates year to the Columbus peniten-
tiary. Gallagher's time lie out June 3, 1891,
and Bates January II, 1891. The two had
gone to Columbus together from Pittsburg.
Mr.. Negley on receipt Of the information
turned it over to District Attorney ohnston
and notified the city police. Gallagher will
probably be brought here at the expiration
OF his term in Columbus and allowed to
serve out his sentence here.

NO MONEY In THE JOB.
John Dryers Ambition to Easily
Earn a Comfortable Living
MEETS WITH VERY SAD REBUFF.
BE Paid So 50 to Secure Light Literary
Position, but Now
CHARGES HIS EMPLOYER WITH FRAUD

John Dwyer got tired of life at a pud-
ding furnace, and IN his ambition to make
money easily dropped into a literary pur-
suit. He now charges the man who got him
into the business with false pretense, and
says he could make money faster and easier
boiling iron.
The defendant, F. NJ. Stewart, was ar
rested at the Hotel Hamilton yesterday by
Detective Shore. Stewart has been oper-
ating a combination employment agency
and book concern at No. 531 and 533 Wood
street. HIS plan was to advertise in the
daily newspapers for young men to do light
office work and for agents at a salary OF $40
a week.
Inspector McAleese has been receiving
many complaints Of late about Stewards
business methods, but could find no one
willing to prosecute until yesterday, when
he received a call from John Dwyer, of No.
2418 Carson street, young man who has
been working at pudding furnace, but
was anxious to obtain easier employment.
A week ago Dwyer answered an advertise
ment for a young man who could give refer
ences, for light Office work.
DwYER GOT THE JOB.
He went to Stewards Office, and after wait
ing for an hour until dozen other persons
had interviewed Stewart in the latter's
private office in the Standard building, he
secured a hearing and was engaged at
salary of S15 per week to go errands and de-
liver packages. He was to 60 to work
day or two later
When Dwyer called at the appointed time
Stewart asked him who was the priest o. the
parish to which he belonged. Dwyer gave
his priests name and exhibited written
recommendation from the same priest.
Stewart then made a proposition TO Dwyer
to sell q Catholic religious work until his
other position would be ready. He was to
paw 81 so for a cheap sample copy of the
| book, and must sell two books day at that
price in order 10 earn his salary OF SIS per
| week.
STEWART KEPT THE MONEY.
Dwver went out but could not sell any Of
| the books and alter two or three days work
| gave it up and wanted his money back,
| saying ne could earn more money with less
| work at pudding furnace. Stewart re-
! fused to refund and Dwyer notified the
police. Upon INSPECTOR McAIeese's advice
| DIVER entered suit for false pretenses.
Stewart was arrested and was committed to
| Jail for hearing.
Stewart has been resident OF the city for
several years and has family. His wife
| told Detective Shore that she had been urg-
ing him to quit the business lie was IN for
quite awhile The detective says Stewart
| business is a regular swindle and that he
takes IN from $40 to $50 per day from the
sale of these sample books which he induces
| people to take and sell after decoYing them
to his office with misleading advertisements.
The detective says Stewart has been in Jail
| before.
| The case will be heard before Magistrate
! McKenna tomorrow.

Democratic Ticket.
PLEASANT CHATS WITH LOCAL PEOPLE

Ed. Jackman was standing on Penn ave-
nue. yesterday talking to Mr.. Holmes, of
the Monongahela House, when they were
startled by an awful war whoop on top OF
the Duquesne Theater. Looking up, they
saw workman on the tower waving his hat
and yelling like an Indian.
Whats the matter with him." exclaimed
the hotel man. 'Is he going to jump ot?''
'Oh, no." replied Mr.. Jaekman. THAT
is a signal to me that the last brick on the
Duquesne Theater has been laid, and he is
not any more pleased that am. think l
have watched every brick going into the
walls, and we had to lay 100000 in all.
The walls are % inches thick, from the
foundation up. We expect to open the
house the first week in December II we eau
arrange for an attraction. Mr.. Norton
went to New York this morning to see what
could be done. The Texas Steer Will
occupy the boards during the second week.
''The plastering is already half done, and
the balance will be finished this week. The
decorators, % in all, from Chicago, will ar
rive tomorrow to begin their work. The
roof over the stage was completed to-day.
The electric plant will also arrive to-mor-
row, and will be put in at once. The gas
was turned on for the first time to-day.
During the next few weeks our work will
be noticed, and the fact is we won't be going
as fast as when we were foundering in the
mud and rain"
A small American flag now floats from
the tower to announce that the brick work
is done, following the example of Inspector
PattIson, at the Government building. Tne
attractions for the balance Of the year are
booked, and Pittsburgers can rejoice in a
third theater at last
