DRUNK ON ELECTRICITY.

Pleasant Valley Wire Plays Franks With
the Fire Alarm.
Allegheny was stirred up last night over the
fire alarms actions. At $50 it began to ring by
jumps and starts. In every engine house the
horses and men were in shape to start, but
could not make out the number of the box. A
little later it sounded another alarm entirely
different and followed that with a succession
of rings.
1t finally dawned on them that electricity was
playing a prank, and after a search it was
found that Pleasant Valley wire had crossed
a fire line on Federal street. The lines were
separated and the fire alarm again became

defendants. and they are the children of George

Allegheny.

Adam Uhler, August Berg and Adolph

Creek citizens. appeared at the Allegheny
Mayor's office last night, and asked for the ar
rest of John D. Brady. They said he was a
painter who had been working at Turtle Creek.
Yesterday he borrowed s22 from August Berg,
and gave him promissory note. Then he Dor.
rowed watch from Adolph SchWander, and
closed mis- deal by inducing Adam Uhler to lend
him s.
Then Brady started for Pittsburg. and on the
way inshe told A. G. Bowden he was going to
Chicago and showed him his ticket. The men
wanted to have him arrested. but Captain Bell
said they could not make an information until
in the morning. He agreed to arrest the man
if they would agree to be locked up also, so he
would be sure they would make the informa-
tion in the morning. The men agreed, but at a
late hour last night Brady had not been caught.

ELECTRIC MOTORS.
Many Brilliant Inventive Minds Directed to
Their Improvement.

Talking of Mr.. Jarhoe's improvement on
electric motors. Mr.. ]. Schinneller, civil en-
gineer, states that he understands that it is
not intended to displace electricity. but to
abate friction or simplify in some manner the
workings of present motors. 1t is said those in
use on the Pleasant Valley Railway wear out
much sooner than those on the Second avenue
railway. Ex-Alderman Reilly was asked con-
cerning the matter. and he stated that such
appeared to be the case.
The electric motor as applied to all street
railways is a rather complicated affair, and in
the best there is considerable power lost that
would be obviated could the application of
power be made more direct. There is wide
field for ingenuity in this respect and large
fortune awaiting the man who succeeds in
simplifying construction. Could electric
power be applied directly, as steam is, there
would be but little use for the latter save as an
electric generator.

Council, after the new committees were
reported, Tuesday week. 1t was pre-
sented by Lyke, and it was published
through a parliamentary trick con-
cocted by Cregier, Lyke and some
cheap clerk, who should be looked
after by Mr.. Franz Amberg.
The history of the ordinance thus
far proves it to be job.
If it were an honest ordinance, no
trickery need have been resorted to to
secure report.
On the face of it, it is swindle. 1t
proposes to put pipes for conveying
steam for heating and for power to
buildings in the business district, those
pipes to radiate from some common
centers and to be laid Unfortunately
along the streets and alleys of the
South Division
The ordinance is without safeg guards
for public protection.
The price of the steam or power is to
be regulated by the Mayor and the
Commissioners of Public Works!
That is, it is to be regulated at the
outset by Old Man Without His Whis-
kers, who is friendly to the sponsors of
the job!
Was there ever more cheeky pro
posal? But other proposals are equal
ly absurd and impertinent.
THE EAGLE, however, has said
enough on the subject this week. II
Will have more to say next week. In
the meantime The EAGLE calls upon
the Aldermen elected upon its recon.
mendation to fight tine job, and to re-
Duke the efforts of the gang, including
Promoter Allerton and Agents Gorton
Lyke. Cregier, and Martin, who are
backing it.

A PERTINENT INQUIRY.

BY the way, what has become of
that promise made by the Stock Yards
magnates, the packers, and others to
contribute to the cleansing of the
South Fork, which poisons the atmos-
phere of ten square miles in the South
Division and which spreads disease
and death all around that region?
THE EAGLE Las waited patiently the
announcement of a half a million
dollar subscri ption. What are the
Shermans, Allertons, Cudahys, Ar
mours, Hutchinsons, Fowlers, and
others doing?
1t is they who have poured the poi
sonous, fever-breeding filth into the
river 1t is they who are responsible
for the poisoned atmosphere. They
live in palatial homes near the Lake
Front. They do not breathe the foul
air which their factories contami-
nate They do not drink the
water which they help to pollute.
Their children are not affected with
malaria, diphtheria and scarlet fever,
bred by the stenches which they Gre
ate and propose to perpetuate. They
are making millions out of their stencil
factories. The children Of the men
whose brains and Drawn they use are
daily dying because of the nuisance
which they create,
How long is this going to last?
How long is the Mayor of this city
elected by the common people, going
to permit such state of affairs t.
exist?
The EAGLE pauses this week for
reply.
It's healthful scream will dispel man,
of the foul vapors that hang over tn,
Bridgeport and Stock Yards region
for many a week to come, until Mayo
Cregier and the Stock Yards million
aires are compelled to do their full
duty.

among the Republicans, W. H. Ford,
a good Democrat, will be elected.
George A. Gibbs can prefix his pres
ent title with an "ex" after November,
but Arthur Dixon cannot become his
successor on account of non-residence.
How would George Cass, Democrat
do?
NJ. J. Bransfeld, a stalwart Demo
crat, a man of character, integrity, and
high order of intelligence, will sue
coed Richard Burke in the Eleventh
District.
If the Hon Joseph P. Mahoney is
nominated to succeed Lawler in Con.
gress, then the Hon. Lawrence NJ
Ennis will succeed jim Monahan as
Senator from the Fifth District. Or
if Ennis succeeds Lawler, Mahoney
will succeed the Republican Senator

ters."
From this interview i. is evident
that Mr.. Wsshburne does not propose
to be dragged into this contest in any
manner, and that he does not intend
to hamper his friends in their choice
of candidates. During the converse
ton, in speaking of the large German
vote of the district, Mr.. Washburne
said that without the German vote
the district would be very doubtful, if
not lost to the Republicans. When
asked if Mr.. Washington Hesing were
candidate instead of Mr.. Adams
what effect that would have upon the
party success. Mr.. Washburne said
that such a nomination would bring
the German vote of the district back
to the Republican party more surely
than any other nomination, and that
Mr.. Hesing, if elected, would un-
doubtedly prove himself to be valu-
able Representative.
