TRIED TO KILL HERSELF.

A Woman In Central Station Attempts
euIcide-Inspector AIcAIeese Prevented
Her Designs.
Suicide by woman named Smith, in the
Eleventh ward station house, was prevented
yesterday evening by Inspector McAleese.
Peter Smith is carpenter of middle age,
living at the corner OF Chestnut and Vickroy
streets, in the Sixth ward. About three
weeks ago ne and his wife quarreled. The
cause of the quarrel is said 10 have been the
presence in their house of man whom
Mrs. Smith took as a Doarder. He desired
no boarder, while she insisted that thev
needed the boarder's money to help them
along financially. Since that time
husband and wife did not speak.
The quarrel had a terrible effect on
Mrs. Smiths nerves. She could not
sleep, and showed evidences of hysteria at
times. She began to take morphine, aud
from morphine vent to whisky. She con-
sumed such large doses Of the liquor that
the neighbors began to complain of the noise
she made. Yesterday afternoon Officer
Resent blatt considered it necessary to arrest
Mrs. Smith. He found her seriously intox.
icated and violent, and sent her to the
Eleventh ward police station.
On his way home to supper last evening,
Inspector McAleese went to the cell 10 talk
with the woman. She became very hys-
terical, and it was with difficulty that the
Inspector could quiet her. She was by that
time nearly sobered, and she wept bitterly
over her arrest. She related her troubles to
the Inspector, saying that her husband was
breaking her heart. She is a comelv, we'll
dressed woman of 45 years, and is the
mother of one child. She showed evidences
of being well educated.
After the inspector returned from his sup
per he again entered the cell room in the
station house. Not sound could be heard
in the cell occupied by Mrs. Smith. The
inspector slipped up in the shadow and saw
the woman standing on bench. She was
trying to tie handkerchief around top
bar. This she evidently found to be too
short. She then took off a white skirt,
fastened it to the bar and tied the handker-
chief to the end of that. The inspector
thought that the preparations had gone far
enough, and, calling Sergeant Berry, the
woman was taken from her CELL She was
quiet offering no resistance, but she wept
The Inspector sent an officer to the house
of Peter Smith, and the carpenter was con-
Quoted to the station. After long talk
the Inspector induced Smith to forgive his
wife and take her home with him. The
mans only complaint was that his wife
possessed a terrible temper. When the
couple lett the police station the woman was
still crying and declaring that she would
kill herself

MORENUS Is THE MAN.
A Successor to President Campbell
Has Finally Been Elected.
RESULT TO BE ANNOUNCED TODAY.
Patrick Cleary's Defeat Laid at President
CampbelIs Door.
STATEMENTS FROM ALL CONCERNED

The long drawn out, contest for the Presi-
dency of the Window Glass Workers Asso-
citation has finally been settled by the cleo
tion of Granville Morenus, Of Cleveland,
N. Y, as q successor to James Campbell.
The official count is not to be made until
tonight, but the returns have all been re-
ceived and enough leaked out yesterday to
warrant the presumption that Mr.. Morenus
is elected.
This has been the hottest contest that has
ever taken place in the history of the organ
ization, and it is the first time that nom
resident of Pittsburg has been elevated to
the position. Early in October the tally
sheets for the first ballot were sent out.
There were then six candidates.
FUTILE BALLOT.
The first ballot was futile and on the Sec
ond ballot there were but four candidates.
A third ballot was ordered, with Patrick
Cleary, of the Southside, and Mr.. Morenus
as the opposing candidates.
There was some pretty lively election
eering by the friends of the contestants.
Mr.. Cleary being member of the General
Assembly, is very popular all over the dis
trict, and no doubt would have been elected
if his support at home had been on the same
proportion as that from abroad. Unfortu-
nately for him, he tailed TO carry Pitts
burg.
CHARGED WITH ELECTIoNEERING.
His friends say that his defeat is largely
due to work done by President Campbell
and Secretary George L. Cake, but the lat
ter deny that they took any part in the mat
ter. Mr.. Cleary said yesterday he had
made no effort to secure his election, simply
allowing matters to take their own course.
he is cutter at Ihmsen's glass house.
Mr.. Morenus, the new President, was
born in Cleveland, N. Y, where he has
lived all his life. He is double-thick
blower, and is spoken of as thoroughly
practical man, and fitted for the Office to
which he has been elected. He is married
and is said to be in pretty good circum-
stances. He will be installed at the regular
meeting of L. A. 800 next Friday evening.
President Campbell. who has been COM
PEELED to hold over since the close of the
til Mr.. Morenus is installed. The latter is
expected to arrive about Tuesday or We'd
nesday next. He is elected for one year.
The Office pays 81, 500 per year.
THEY HAD NOTHING TO SAY.
Mr.. Cleary was asked for a statement yes
terday, but he said he had nothing to say.
He expressed great surprise that the result
had gained circulation, as it was not in
tended that it should be known until to-
night.
There was an air of secrecy around the
Office OF the association OH Carson street.
'I have nothing to say" was Secretary
Cakes reply to every question put. Presi-
dent Campbell was as mum as an oyster,
and intimated that he did not know who
was elected. 1t may be stated that the re-
porter CLEANED the information upon which
to base the above statements from outside
sources.

Field. but Will Sell Drugs.
Gun Wah, the Chinese doctor, and his in
terpreter and manager, Bertrand, were ar
raigne1 before Alderman McKenna yester-
day afternoon to answer the charge of prac-
ticing medicine without diplomas or license
contrary to law of the Commonwealth
The prosecution was represented by Assist
ant City Attorney Clarence Burleigh and
Inspector McAleese, and the defense by
Josiah Cohen.
Attorney Burleigh said that conference
had been held, and that the defendants had
agreed, if the prosecution were not pushed,
to desist from their business and to leave
Allegheny county, He asked that the in
formations be held against the defendants,
and that they be allowed to depart on their
own recognizances, with the understanding
that if they should ever attempt to resume
their practice in Pittsburg, the informations
against them will be pushed. 1.-THE law"

suppress illegitimate practitioners, and
these gentlemen propose to suppress them
selves"
Attorney Cohen. for the defendants, ap-
proved of what Mr.. Burleigh had said. His
clients, he said, had not been aware that
tney were actlng contrary TO law, and were
willing to cease. While they might have
been violating statute, they ielt that they
had not carried on their business contrary
to any moral lawlor in any way not bene-
fetal to the people who had bought their
medicine. "They have been engaged" said
Mr.. Cohen, Gin the sale of preparation
which has received the Endorsement of the
best medical ability throughout the country.

Alderman McKenna said that he was per-
fectly satisfied with the agreement reached.
He would, therefore, release the defendants
on their own recognizance to the amount of
81 900 each.
A gentleman connected with Gun Wah
said that the business carried on in the yell
low front on Penn avenue would be entire
ly relinquished, but that the Chinese rem
edies would be placed in drug stores for

BADER IN THE FIGHT.

Row Between the Democratic and Re-
publican Comnittees-The Latter Kept
Possession OF the Hall.
The Democratic and Republican City
Committees of Allegheny held their meet
ings last night in the NOrthside City Hall.
There was small sized "scrap" early in the
evening, owing to the Republicans taking
possession of the Democrats hall. The latter
had arranged for the Common Council
chamber some weeks ago. This is the
largest room in the building, and seats over
twice as many people as Select
Council hall. When the Democrats
arrived last night the hall was
in the possession of number of sturdy Re
publican sidewheelers. They refused to
vacate, and said "they would meet there or
not at ALL" After considerable parley, the
Democrats, who were largely in the mi
nority, adjourned to the other hall, where
they held their meeting.
Peter Huckenstein presided. Upon
motion the primaries were fixed for January
II, between and o'clock P. M, the con-
vention to be held on the following Tuesday
in Common Council Chamber at 7;30 o'clock.
Major A. J. Pentecost presided at the
Republican Committee meeting, and A.
Kennedy acted as Secretary. Several
changes in the rules were adopted. The
time for the holding of the primaries was
changed to the Friday preceding the date
of the municipal election. The election
boxes, which heretofore have been in the
custody of the Mayor, will in future be re-
tanned by the judge of the primary election.
There was considerable excitement in the
town yesterday, on the published report
that William Bader had withdrawn from
the mayoralty contest. W. K. Freed, one
of Mr.. Bader's personal friends, denied that
he had any intention of SO doing. The ru-
NOR was to the effect that the candidate was
offered $1,000 to pull out, but this is not
true. BILLY" is in the fight to stay and
although confined to his room with rheuma-
tism, be says he will kick hard enough be-
fore the convention takes place. The report
was without foundation.

Andrew Carnegie relative to the new

Ny DEAR SIR-Thanks to the committee for
sending me copy of the proposed ordinance
respecting the buildings which are soon to be
formally handed over to the city of Allegheny,
and thanks also for the privilege the ordinance
gives me of being myself, or of nominating, an
advisory member of the committee.
The discussion which is taking place as to tn g
means by which the greatest benefits can be de-
rived from my gift is most encouraging, for the
only real danger that 1t had to encounter was
the indifference of the people. When once in
terested no voice so wise as theirs, and rest in
perfect confidence that, as the representatives
of the people, the City Councils will devise and
inaugurate the best means of making the
library art gallery and hall productive of all
the good such things are capable of comforting
upon a community.
The instructive agitation now going forward
will enable Councils to see clearly what is best
Again thanking your committee, 1 am
