Reed, Of the old Washington Company, was
elected Chairman, and John Stoakes, OF the
"Uncle Sam," Secretary.
The members present had discussion as
to whether they would turn out with white
vests and dark clothes, or in the old regula-
ton red shirt and glazed hat. The latter
suggestion seemed to catch the boys, and
the red shirts were unanimously decided on.
Chief Jones reported that he had an offer
Of one Of the old engines, which Is now In
service in Millvale. II was decided to accept
this offer and committee appointed 10

DOESN'T LIKE THE TICKET.
General Koontz Wants 20 Know WI
DeInmnter Was Nominated.

General Koontz Wants TO Know Why
Delnmater Was Nominated.
General W. H. Koontz, of Somerset, was
at the Monongahela House yesterday. In
speaking of the political situation. he said:
II have heard no talk about an independent
movement, and it looks to me as il the
people intend to swallow the present domin-
ion in State politics as foregone conclus-
ion. If they are contented 1 suppose the
rest of US will have to be. As for Somerset
county, it is Republican, but 1 cannot say
what its majority will be this
fall. ] haven't heard any of the
people object to the ticket. You know it
takes some time in the country to ascertain
public sentiment. The farmers are scat
tered over the hills and in the valleys, and
if they are thinking about politics at all,
have not been able to get at their conclu-
sions.
81 have been trying to find out what
claims Senator Delamater has on the Gov
ernorship. I don't know of anything that
he has done to merit the nomination, and if
he hadn't been the choice of the machine he
never would have been selected, in my judg-
ment. In the old Whig days with men
like Bill Johnston and Andrew Curtin they
forced themselves on the people by sheer
force of their ability, and you couldn't ig
more them. There was some reason for
their nominations. The times, however,
appear to have changed"

NEED OF NIGHT CARS.
A VETERAN REAL ESTATE DEALER
HEARTILY FAvoRs THEM.

Night ToiIers Who Would Live In the
Suburbs II They Could Rench Home In
the MornIug-Bound TO Come Some
Time.
When Colonel W. A. Heron, the veteran
real estate man, was spoken to on the sub
ject of all-night cars, he expressed his en-
tire appreciation of the idea. "It would be
one of the best moves ever made in Pitts
burg" said he. 81 have often wondered
why such q movement was not made before.
Every night hear cabs and carriages rattle
out Fifth avenue. People come into the city
late at night They have no way to get to
their homes, and must either stay at hotel
all night or pay all the way up to IS for q
carriage to take them to their homes. I
have been caught several times that way
myself, and when a person has several la
dies in charge it is not a pleasant position.
1--WE must ultimately have all-night cars
in Pittsburg, and might as we'll have them
now as any other time. The knowledge that
one could get to the suburbs at any hour OF
the night would greatly facilitate the
renting of suburban houses and the
selling OF lots. There is whole
army of telegraph operators, railroad men,
newspaper men, printers, and others who
finish their work at any time from o'clock
until 8. When they ask for house they
want it right down in the city, where they
can get home after their work Is done.
Most Of them say they would rather live In
the country, but there Is no way for them to
get out in the mornings. Many OF them
would buy properties, but they cannot afford
to buy In the city, and they could not use
property on the outside.
"outSide Of the regular night workers,
there are hundreds OF people who have 10
leave the theater or some social gathering to
catch the last car. II Is very annoying.
We need night cars, and don't see why
the street car companies could not be COM
PEELED 10 furnish them. / believe every
property owner In the city would favor the
move for all-night travel"

NORTHSlDE NIGHT CARS.
the PLEASANT VALLEY SOON TO MAKE
HALF-HoUR TRIPS,

Mayor and HenIth Omcer iu Favor of
More Frequent Trip. by Owl Cars
President Hunter on the Subject of nm
Ordinance.
''The street railway companies should
satisfy any public demand" said Mayor
Wyman, of Allegheny. 81 think it would
be right to accommodate night travellers and
run the cars every half hour"
81 have travelled on the late street cars
myself" said Health Officer Bradley, "and
know what disagreeable thing it is to wait
for an hour or SO till they come along. 1t
would be good thing to have them run
closer, say about every 20 minutes"
President Hunter, of the Common Coun-
ell, was approached on the matter. "In
regard to framing an ordinance compelling
the companies TO run more carG at night
am not prepared to speak" he said. 81
have not paid much attention to the roads" ="
Mr.. d. f. Henry, President of the Pleas
ant Valley railway, said: "We expect to
run cars about every half hour after mid
night, as soon as the new bridge is COM
pleted. We will continue to run only one
car every hour till that is done. No, we
do not propose to purchase any horse cars to
do this night work. Those institutions have
been relegated to the past by this road.''
The Pittsburg, Allegheny and Manches-
ter people wouldn't say what they will do
after they adopt electricity. At present they
run hourly cars, after midnight, on the Re-
becca street and the Short lines.

A GENERAL DEMAND
MADE BY NIGHT WORKERS FOR QUICK
TRANSPORTATION.

Picnic Party That Was Forced 20 Walk "a
East Liberty-Toilers Who Are Waiting
to Move Into the suburbs-TeIegraph
Operators Talk.
That the street railways would profit by
running night cars was demon strated from
what several gentlemen said last night.
These few spoke for a large number of peo-
pie of Pittsburg and Allegheny who are en-
ployed in different capacities at night and
who would take up their residence in East
Liberty if it was accessible after midnight.
Everyone spoken to said they were waiting
until the roads would run night cars, when
they would move out TO the East End.
Business men who are detained at their
offices. sometimes after midnight, working
over books at the end Of O month, spoke Of
the great boon it would be 10 them when the
allsnight cars commence running.
Postoffice employees, mill men, glass
workers, telegraph operators, newspaper
men and persons employed In other eailihgs
which necessarily detsih them long past
midnight nj their work all say that they
would move 10 the suburbs should The car
line put OH ears 10 enable them 10 reach
home Bems Of these now reside In Allie
gheny and on the seuthside. but they would
much prefer living In the last End,
Quite frequently people arrive In the city
on delayed railroad trains and have TO go TO
considerable expense for carriage hire 10
reach their homes. Such was the case
about two weeks ago. A Sunday school In
the East End held q picnic up the West
Penn road and through some unforeseen ac-
oident the train did not arrive In Allegheny
until 1890 midnight, too late for them to
catch a car for their homes, A great many
children attended the picnic and could not
engage conVeyances to take them home,
and the only recourse they had was to walk
the long distance between the city and their
homes. There were about 20 in the party,
composed mostly of ladies and children, who
trudged wearily five miles home. This
started the demand for all-night cars, and
the question has been agitated Of late by
East Enders.
A visit was paid to the Western Union
Telegraph Office last night TO see how many
operators would take up their residence in
the East End in the event of night cars be-
ing put on the electric railroad. About
thirty of the employees have families, and
nearly all OF them said that it
was the only thing that prevented
them from going out there to live now,

in Oakland last summer; then l was work.
ing on the day force. Since then was put
on at night which compelled me to sell my
property"
7. j. Cummings said: 81 reside on the
Southside now, but will move to East
Liberty when the cars are put on after mid
night"
S. c. Moran, another telegrapher, said he
was anxious to move to East Liberty, but
being engaged at night there was no way OF
getting there without great expense. The
rest of the operators expressed themselves
in like manner, and were very enthusias-
tic over the prospect of going out to the
beautiful suburb.

MUD AND CRUEL LAW
Spoil the Annual Picnic of the En-
manuel Church Sunday School.
CAPTAIN FORMAN WAS ARRESTED
For Towing Little Passengers Without q
Government License.
THEY CAME HOME ON THE STREET CARS

It is not often that Sunday school picnics
are interrupted. but yesterday the United
States law, Monongahela mud and low
water combined to make the
lives OF number of Allegheny
children miserable. Captain Barney For
man, Of the steamer Clifton, had bargained
to tow the Sunday school Of the Emmanuel
P. e. Church to McKinney's Grove, up the
Monongahels river. when he was arrested
for violating the admiralty laws in hauling
passengers without Government license.
Early yesterday morning the barge City
Of Pittsburg was loaded with 105 children
and 50 grown people. The little ones
looked forward with pleasure to the ride,
but when the boat got opposite the Market
street wharf In response TO signal it came
ashore.

bach, which called for the arrest Of Captain
FermaH for hauling his precious burden
without the necessary license. Captain
FormaH was bound In ei 900 TO answer for
his neglect to take out his license to appear
before the United States Commissioner,
That ended the work of the Governments
interference with the Emmanuel Church
picnic, but not so Captain Clark Of the
City OF Pittsburg. He hustled around
among the eamb0atmen on the levee, and
secured the towboats Return and Little Bill
TO continue the voyage up the river. But
the time occupied in securing them had
consumed some three hours and In that
time the boat had stuck in the mud and
could not be moved. The two boats pulled
and pushed for considerable time and
finally she was gotten afioat amid the frantic
shouts of glee from the children. All went
we'll until Lock No. 1 was reached,
and after pushing the barge through
the lock, the Return came back to the city.
An hour more was spent in getting her
Strengthened out for her up-river trip and
then the discovery was made that the Little
Bill could not handle her. Captain Clark
again hustled, and about o'clock he
secured the launch Dart from the Allegheny
wharf. and the two boats made an effort to
push the barge up stream. The effort was
futile after q trial Of an hour, and the
passengers concluded to abandon the trip,
which was done. They came home on the
street cars at $50 o'clock.
