KEEP OFF TIE GRASS.

Confronts the new member at every turn.
The grass is tempting and he may ache for
a tumble on the green. The watchmen,
however, are wary. In every Congress the
day arrives when the signs are taken down
and the park is free. 1t is when the tariff
bill appears Then the new member feels
that there is time for all things. He
is allowed to talk to his hearts content,
under the impression that possibly lie
may know something about the tariff.
Everybody thinks he knows something
about it, but is not exactly sure. THIS year
tine park-keepers abridged the liberty, but
gave full leave TO print. The signs were
taken in for twelve days only.
Altogether the new member is now hyper
cune. He has learned that he has not lived
in vain, and that popular government is a
success, if he can only understand it.

MORE NEW GAS LINES.
ALL FAITH IN THE NATURAL SUPPLY NO
GIVEN UP YET.

Two Lines Being Constructed That Will Cost
s15O,OOO-Plenty of Gas in the New Ter
ritories-Stray Items From Labor Circles.
Two new gas shines are being laid to supply
manufacturing esta blishments
Park Bros. & Co., limited, are running
one from the Wildwood district TO supply
the Black Diamond Steel Works. Quite
a number of extensions have been made in
the Wildwood territory, and it is now be-
lieved that it will afford an ample supply,
not only for the lines already down, but
those in contemplation.
The new line will require eight miles of
and 1O-inch pipe. 1t is to be completed by
December Is, and will cost about S6O, 600.
Another large line is being laid from the
Butler county field to the works of the Pitts
burg Plate Glass Company, at Tarentum.
1t is 12-inch main. The American Tube
and Iron Company secured the order for the
pipe, and the Matheson patent lock Joint is
being used. This pipe, it is said, has taken
the lead for natural gas purposes and is be-
ing generally adopted by companies con-
trolling the largest gas lines
The PiLtsburg Plate Glass Company's
line will cost S85, 900. The freeness with
which many of the manufacturers continue
to invest large sums OF money in gas line
extensions would seem to indicate that all
faith in the supply has not been lost. Tine
general theory is that there is plenty of gas
if developments are extended into new terri
tory as fast as old fields give out. Several
other large lines are in contemplation.

AN OFFICER IN TROUBLE.
CHARGED WITH ARREsTING THE WRONG
PERSON.

A Southside Pole Says He Was Pulled Out
of His Bed without Cause and Taken to
the Police Station UIdressed-He Now
Wants Justice.
Michael Liston, one Of the blue coats of
Inspector McKelvy's police force, has gotten
into trouble over arrestinC Pole OIL South
Sixteenth street early Monday morning.
There was row going on and Michael
rushed into the house at Sixteenth near
Muriel street and arrested a man named
Quanda At the hearing in the morning
Quanda was sent to the workhouse for 30
days.
Quanda's wife interested number of per-
sons in her case, and, after raising money
enough to get her husband out of the work
house Oh bail, proceeded to have an infor-
nation entered before Alderman Beinhauer
against LIston for aggravated assault and
battery. 1t is claimed he arrested by force
the wrong party, or at least Quanda mad
done nothing to be amenable to the law.
Quanda says that early Monday morning
Liston entered his house via the cellar and,
finding his way up stairs, knocked at the
door. Quanda and his wife were sleeping.
Mrs. Quanda was so frightened that
she dropped the lamp in water bucket.
Quanda says Liston forced the door open,
and, after striking match, pulled him out
of bed, and rushed him down to the station
on foot without giving him time to put his
clothes on.
Quanda cannot speak English and could
not explain to the officer that he had done
nothing. He says there was Polish
wedding going on in another part OF the
house, but he knew nothing about it and
had been in bed for some time.
Lston gave $500 bail for hearing Satur-
day. He said that man named Smith aud
Lieutenant johnson told ::him there was a
row in the house and he had 9 regular
monkey and parrot time making the arrest.
He said the lamp was put out and saucers
and household utensils were thrown at him
until he was satisfied to get out of the house
alive.
The case is creating considerable interest,
as the man was not only arrested but sent
to the workhouse by Magistrate Succop,
upon Liston's testimony.

money thev were advised TO sell their shares
to parties living in their neighborhood.
From the testimony it appeared that all
of the deals were made originally with
Jacober, Carey and FLOYD. AS the time for
payment of loans drew near they suddenly
vanished, and the defendants appeared upon
the scene to tell the victims that the agents
had misinformed them.. Many more stories
OF hard-earned money having been invested
could have been told, but all parties seemed
to be satisfied with the action taken.
THE CoMPANY's SIDE.
Frank S. Streeter, the home counsel of the
Granite State Association, who is here to
look after the troubles of the agents, says
that the association came to Pittsburg to do
an honest and legitimate business, and does
not propose to discontinue. It has made
contracts with large number OF citizens
here, and will carry them out. Its assets
are sufficient to meet ali obligations and
leave a large surplus. The Bank Com
missioners OF New Hampshire have Just
completed an examination of the affairs of
the company, and have given a certificate
of the sound condition of the association.
Anv person who desires to know the stand
ing of the association, character of its Off
GERS, etc., can secure the information from
these Bank Commissioners, who are State
ofhcerS, located IN CONCORD, N. d. Ii the
agent of the association who some SIX
months ago took applications for shares
from citizens here made Misrepresentation,
the association will not undertake to shield
him from the results of his own wrong.
Mr.. Streeter says further that it Is appar-
ent that the three agents under charges are
innocent of wrong and will be sustained by
the association. unless something further
appears. AS for Mr.. Eggleston, there can
be no question of his innocence. He was
sent here to examine applications for loans
and never saw either OF che other agents un-
til the Tuesday before the complaint was
made.
The certificate OF the Bank Commissioners
OF New Hampshire, of which Mr.. Streeter
furnished copy, set forth that the books of
the association were examined from the be-
glning to November 8, 1890, and the con-
Germ found to he solvent and with assets
more than sufficient to meet the liabilities.

IT WAS THE COUNTY JAIL.
A Practical Joke Played on MIR. Pott Which
He Passed Along.

He Passed Along.
Some wag in Wilkesbarre, taking ad-
vantage of the keen competition that exists
between passenger men for business, recently
played a practical joke on John r. Pott,
Travelling Passenger Agent for the Chicago,
Milwaukee and St. Paul road, which didn' t
end with the latter, but like the bad school
boy, he passed it along.
One day recently Mr.. Pott received a
pointer that if he would call at certain
number in the coal town he would find a
party of so persons who were going to Port
land, Ore. 1t is not often these days that
than his usual alacrity he started for
Wilkesbarre at once. Arrived there, he
went to the place and found it was the
county jail.
1t began to dawn on him sud-
denly that he was sold, but he thought
he would make sure OF it, and he
hunted up the jailor. The latter
took in the situation at once, and remarked
that he didn't know of such party going to
Portland, but he had that many prisoners
behind the bars whom, he had no doubt,
would be glad to go there, or to the Sand
wich Islands or anywhere else.
The joke was too much for the genial
John, and he worked the gag on his fellow
agents, Pat Cooley, of the Chicago, st. Paul
and Kansas City road, took beeline for
Wilkesbarre as soon as he heard of it, but he
is looking for Mr.. Pott now with a club.
For several days the hotel keepers there
wondered what was bringing all the passen-
ger men to the town.

THE EOLIAN ECHO STOP.
Wonderful New Effects.

One of the most enhancing musical effects
ever produced is brought out by the new
third pedal OF the opera pianos. 1t is called
the Eolan Echo, and its use enables the
per orlner to bring forth the most delicate
and fairy-like effects. Its soothing influence
upon nervous persons and those in delicate
health, who cannot endure the noisy prac-
ticng OF their children, is truly wonderful,
and, added to this gossamer faintness OF
tone, you have the overwhelming grandeur
and brilliancy of sound-all of which have
made the opera pianos so immensely popu-
lar in this city and all over the State and
country. These glorious opera pianos sur
pass all others Except the Steinwav and
Conover), and their cost is very reasonable.
The immense durability of the opera en-
ables the Messrs. Kleber & Bro, 5O6 Wood
street, to fully warrant them for eight long
years. More than 20 pianos have already
been sold for Christmas gifts by the Klebers;
for nine out of ten people have more conf.
dence in that firm and prefer to deal there
than anywhere else.

JUDGE EWING RELENTED.
HE GIVES AN OFFICER A CHANCE TO EN-
JOY THANKSGIVING.

Deputy Sheriff kramer's Long Hunt for a
FuGitive-His Victim Returns From the
Far West and is Nabbed-Hunting for
Bail Bond.
Deputy Sheriff Peter Kramer, of Butler
county, had quite an experience in Allie
gheny yesterday and last night with pris-
oner vino will be tried at the present term
of court in this county for brutal assault
committed nearly two years ago.
In March, 1889, Wesley Grier, teamster
employed in the Bakerstown oil field, had
some misunderstanding with an oil operator
named HARRISON, who lived in the first
named county. AS result of the trouble
Grier assaulted HARRISON with a
club and beat him into insensiblllty.
When HARRISON was found some time
afterwards he fwas still unconscious,
and for several weeks ms life was dispaired
OF. Greir at once skipped the country, and
put in over year of his time in Washington
Territory and California. Finally, learning
that HARRISON had recovered, he returned
East, and found work at Semple station, on
the Pittsburg and Western Railroad. He
he had not been here long when Officer
Kramer, who is an ex-Sherif of Butler
county, learned of his whereabouts, and on
Tuesday he visited the place and arrested
the fugitive from justice, who was taken to
Butler. Bail was offered there, but the
courts would not accept it, as the ohense
was not committed in that county.
Yesterday Kramer came to Pittsburg with
his prisoner, but they did not arrive until
after the courts had been adjourned. The
officer was not to be outdone, so he starred with
Grier for Judge Ewins's home on Lincoln
avenue. His Honor at first refused to take
any action in the matter except in open
court, but Kramer made vigorous appeal,
saying that as the next day was Thanks
giving, ne was anxious to be at home on
that occasion with his family. This brought
the Judge around to a consideration of the
case, with the result that Grier WAS released
on 81, 900 bail, friend of his going on the
bond, and all hands went away happy.
