PURE WATER WANTED
The First Determined Move Made on
the Beck's Run schindery.
CARBON SOUP is NOT EELISHED.
Unhealthy Condition Of the Southside
Blamed on the Water.
WHAT TIE MICROSCOPE has REVEALED

Several Intellectual efforts to get the
Councils Committee on the Beek's Run
Schindery together have been made, but at
last a move has been made in the right
direction to. secure an abatement of the
nuisance. The State Board of Health and
the Councils committee will shortly dis
euss the matter, DR.. r. E. Lee, Of
the State Board of Health, having been
called into the consultation. A determined
move is on foot to abolish not only the
schindery, but other sources Of contamina-
ton which exist on the shores Of the Monon-
gahela, and the sehindery will probably be
chosen a. the skirmish upon which to win
the battle.
For the last week the water from the hy-
drants in the Southside wards has been of q
brownish hue, with a greasy consistency,
which precluded its use either for cooking
or drinking purposes. This method OF en-
couraging the speak-easy business in the
Southside wards has not met with the ap-
probation which might be expected, and the
complaints are growing louder and thicker
until the Councilmen who are on the Sehin-
derry Committee feel that 1t is about time to
act.
DR.. E. A. Mundorf, of the Southside,
made microscopic analysis of the Monon-
gRhela river water late in 1887 for the
Board of Health, and submitted scientific
report The result Of that analysis is given
as matter of very timely interest in con-
nection with the efforts to abolish the
schindery, as it is acknowledged by all
scientists that water polluted by organic
matter is injurious to the health Of the COM
munity using it.

CARNEGIE TO THE RESCUE.


A Report That He Has EsDOused the Cause
of the LawrenceViIle Park-He Has
Signed Petition and is Reported to be
willing TO Lend His Personal Inauence
to Aid 1t.
There is every possibility that the upper
end of the Lawrenceville arsenal will be
transformed into park. From q reliable
source it was learned that Mr.. Grifen,
Manager of the Keystone Bridge Works,
which is part of the Carnegie, Phlpps 8
Co. interests, has written q strong letter to
Mr.. Carnegie, and forwarded q petition for
his signature, which there is every reason to
believe that Mr.. Carnegie signed. Some other
rulnors were floating about the neighbor-
bood yesterday regarding Mr.. Cafnegie's In
terest in this scheme. It Is very probable
that he will take the idea up with the same
enthusiasm that the residents in the vicinity
of the park are imbued with.
Mr.. Carnegie's action, however, may be
Of considerable avail, as it is stated that
when the petition is ready for presentation
to Congress he will go to Washington in its
advocacy. He is thought to recognize the
necessity of breathing spaces in crowded
places.
1t was also gossiped about the locality
that if the Government refuse to grant the
prayer of the petition; he may come to the
front with an offer for the purchase of the
property, and If It can be bought he will
hand it over to the district for park.
Mr.. Carnegie's reported effort to secure
the arsenal for park is the talk of the
neighborhood. Everybody il, pleased with
the report, and many of the residents who
before imagined the scheme visionary, now
think it to be on the point Of mAterializing.
The petitions for Congress have been
largely signed, fully 1000 signatures hav-
ing already been appended. The petitions
are scattered throughout the district, and in
all the mills sheets have been placed to re-
ceive names. The Keystone Bridge Works,
Black Diamond Steel Works, Clark, Son
& Co.; Carnegie, Phipps & Co.j Upper and
Lower Union Mills, Pittsburg Bridge
Works, and many other shops and factories
have the petitions, and the managers Of the
various places are urging their men to sign
them.

nongahela water have been 30 numerous and
so explicit that it is only necessary to refer
to few Of them in order to show the quail
ity Of drink supplied the Southside resi-
dents, both before and after the passage of
the Brooks law. In one of these reports
this statement is made:
Proceeding to Beck's Run, which empties
into the Monongahela river, mile above the
pumping station, 1t was found that the people
along the run with an utter disregard for the
health of others. have many Of their vaults so
constructed as to drain directly into the run.
The water. laden with animal matter that flows
into this run from a sohindery, affords excel
lent pabuium for the Development Of any dis
ease germs that from other sources may And
their way into the stream.
This is from an official report Of the Board
Of Health, and may be regarded as an
official condemnation OF the schindery
nuisance, which still exists, and which the
State Board of Health is now about to be
called upon to suppress. Councilman
Nisbett, q member of the schindery
committee saws: 81 am afraid our hands
are tied as city authorities, but the State
certainly has the authority, and we certainly
have the right to demand the exercise Of
such authority for the protection of South
side citizens from disease"
Councilman Mark Donelly, of the Twenty
fourth ward, SAYS: "I am certainly In favor
of the suppression Of all sources of con-
tamination, and more particularly that of
the water, Of which poor women have to
make their coffee, tea and soup, and which
may prove the source Of an epidemic Of
zymotic disease som etime which might deci-
mate our population"

Booth & FIIun Will Lose That Much on
the East Ehd Sewer.
A number of rumors were around the city
yesterday that Booth & Finn had been
heavy losers by the contract on the East
End 33-ineh sewer, through a mistake in
making the connection. Chief Bigelow, of
the Department Of Public Works, said when
spoken to yesterday on the subject:
Yes, there was a short distance in that
sewer which has to be relocated, but the tax
payers will not lose anything BY it, and
see no necessity for entering into any ex-
plantations. Yes, there are probably 165 to
200 feet which will have to be changed, and
it will be done in the shortest time possible. -
W. r. Browne, City Engineer, said:
"There were from 200 to 300 feet of that
sewer which had to be changed, and I am
sorry for it, for the work was as thorough as
ever saw. The fault was that the con-
nections, through some mistake, came about
foot apart, the one running about II inches
over the other, and hence the necessity for
an alteration"
William Finn, of Booth & Finn, said
last night: 81 suppose we will lose about
$1,000 on fixing that mistake of the inspec-
tor. We are not grumbling about the mat
ter, and don't see why anybody else
should. Say there are about 300 feet level to
readjust at s. per foot; that makes 81, 400,
and the work is being done. Ihave no rea.
son to believe that anybody will be a loser
but ourselves, and il we are not making the
kick, no one else has any right to do 50. or
course we should have watched the inspec-
tor. and he should have watched the piping
or seweripg. whichever you please to call it.
The brick is there yet, and the material is
Just as good as it ever was, and the fact is
we are about s., 900 out, and that is all there

the IMMORTAL BROADAx.

Rev. Mr.. Clinton and He VIII Amend the
African Convention.
A well attended meeting Of eolored citi-
zens was held last night in the franklin
Schoolhouse for the purpose Of sleeting
delegates to the Afro-Ameriean convention
to be held in Chicago. J. N. +. Foster
presided and the Rev. George W. Clinton
acted as secretary. Before the meeting
came to order, "Broadax" Smith an
1ouneed that be was opposed to sending
delegates to the convention. He thought
that the money could be spent to better ad-
vantage in Allegheny. When the meeting
had convened, Mr.. Foster announced that
the object was to decide if delegates would
be sent, or merely an Endorsement Of the
action Of the convention.
The Rev. Mr.. Clinton favored national
league, to embrace every State in the union.
This should be the Pittsburg branch Of the
Afro-American League, the same as the
British, German and other leagues and
nationalities. When the Pittsburg men
were handling the Flemon affair they sent
appeals to % States and got but S22. This
was proof of the need of cooperation.
Broadax Smith did not appose anything
that would be for the good Of the people,
but he was little suspicious of what might
come up. He had been barred ont Of one
convention of colored men because he was a
Republican. Men had tried to sell out to
the Democratic party, and tried to keep
Fred Douglass from speaking. Mr.. Smith
referred also to a recent convention in Pitts
burg, where he was shut out because he was
Republican. The keynote of too many
conventions was greed for office.
Richard KEYS and D. NJ. Washington
spoke IN favor OF sending delegates, and the
question was finally settled this way. Rev.
Mr.. Clinton :and Broadax Smith were
elected delegates, and D. NJ. W ashington
and Ajax Jones were elected aIternates.

tilted that at few minuIes peloFe Az
o'clock he was walking home with mis- wife.
He saw two men approach Rudert's WINDOW,
and one of them appeared to stagger. be
said to his wife: "That fellow is drunk and
might break that window" Just then the
staggerer turned and threw his shoulder
against the glass. Immediately he began
to remove iewelrT from the window, while
the other man stood with a revolver directed
toward the second story windows. Parker
velied ssRobbersl'' when the man at the
window turned his face toward him. The
masking handkerchief had slipped down
and revealed long sandy mustache with an
Irish face Just then there was shot ana
three men ran toward the river. ME
Parker was shown photographs of Peter
Griffin, EggY Conroy and Alec hlllaln, but
could not Identify one of them.
After an adjournment OF one hour Tor
dinner George Goldinger was called. He
said that he heard of the murder while he
was at q dance in Alhambra Hall. He
started, with Harry Natter, Jacob King
and Robert Brsshear, to hunt for the muir
derers.
HOW KILLAIN WAS CAUGHT.
They borrowed q skif and crossed the
river. The swift current carried them below
Frank Clark, alias Alec Killain's shRnty-
boat or not, they heard somebody coming up
the river toward them, breaking the under
brush They drew their reYolvers, and when
q figure came within sight in the darkness
they arrested him. It was Alec Killain.
He asked what he was arrested for. One OF
the party said: "You are wanted for some
trouble over IN Tarentun." killain ans
wered: 81 haven't been doing anything. I
was at Thomas all evening"" Thomas is a
basRetmaker whose house is about 200 yards
above Killain's boat Killain was taken
back to Tarentum, the arresting party re-
fusing his request to be allowed to enter the
boat and change his clothes Next day
Goldinger learned that Killsin's skif was
found several hundred yards down the river
in the direction from which Killain was
coming when arrested.
Harry Msteer's story was very similar to
that Of Mr.. Goldinger. Natter said that he
took revolver out Of Killain's hip pocket.
The weapon contained four cartridges and
one empty she'll Its caliber was 36. When the
revolver was drawn out bandsns handker-
chief came with it. Msteer returned that
to the pocket. On the butt of the revolver,
shown in court, are the initials W. h. B.
At the time Killain wore a brown gondols
hat, g short, heavy coat and bad shoes.
Mrs. Margaret Mitchell, a plump, good
looking housewife, testified that she lived on
Breckenridge street, leading to the river. On
the night OF the murder, at about 10 o'clock,
she heard several shots. Lifting the window
curtain, she saw three or four men run BY her
house toward the river ferry.
Gustsve Frank, pop bother who lives
by the river bank, said that few minutes
after 10 o'clock on the night of December %,
he heard splashlng in the water, as if boat
were being rapidly pushed of.
THE BASKET MAKER.
John S. Thomas was then called. He is
the little basket meker who lives on the east
side Of the river, about 800 yards above the

The above figure represents the sample of
water taken from the channel Of the river,
near the mouth Of the inhuent pipe of the
Monongahela Water Company. It con-
tanned bacteria in large quantities, granular
and crystalline matters, epithelium, in
fusoria, some dead, in small numbers, and
wood fibers.
Figure No. represents the sample taken
from the Western reservoir No. 2. 1t con-
tanned large quantity Of bacteria, epithe-
lium, vegetable fbers, crystalline sub
stances, and dark fungus or mineral sub
stances found in both pools. DR.. Mundorf
concluded his report by saying:
"By reference to the drawings it will be
seen how generally these bacteria are
difused. The presence Of non-specifc
bacteria, not to mention other forms Of con-
tamination, would favorably condition the
spread of q typhoid fever epidemic"
