A million Dollar Library Building for
the City OF Pittsburg.

PITTsBURG, February 7.-Andrew Car
pegie's plans for presenting Pittsburg with a
free library are assuming definite shape. 1t
is said that he contemplates the erection Of
a structure in two semi-detached parts. In
nt oiatss M jill T.; III 10 o;t he 5oa9S Of the differ
emy of Science, such as the Microscopical,
the Amateur Photographic. the Engineering
and the Art Society. In the other part will
be the library and music hall. The estimate
of the cost of the the building has been plac-
ed at nearly $1,000000. 1t is intended to
make it a magnificent structuctre, and the
size will allow of wide scope for embellish-
ment. But this does not cover the full ex.
tent of Mr.. Carnegie's generous intentions.
Three branch libraries are to be erected on
the South Side, East End and Lawrence
vile. These will be two.story structures of
fine architectural design and complete in
every detail. 1t Is intended to have read
ing room on the first floor, and the library on
the second, with a small hall for free
scientific lectures. Between these branches
and the Central library there will be a con-
slant interchange of books, thereby keeping
fresh supply of volumes always on hand.
There is a tremendous rush for tickets to
the opening of the library presented to Alle-
gheny City, which will take place next week
About 10000 applications have been received.
There seems to be no question that Presi-
dent Harrison and a number OF other distin-
guished men will be present. The Presiden-
tial party will arrive on special train on
Thursday afternoon of next week and will
return to Washington on the same day, after
the opening services are over. The Presi-
dent has accepted the hospitality Of the
Duquesne Club.
An official programme for the evening Of
the opening has not been decided upon as
yet, but President Harrison, John Dalzell,
Mr.. Carnegie and Mayor Pearson are expect
ed to make addresses. At the close of the
exercises Mr.. Carnegie will deliver the keys
of the building to Mayor Pearson, who re-

Foreign Trout for Maine Waters.

The two new varieties of trout coming
from foreign waters to be used in stocking
Maine rivers, were expected in New York
yesterday by the Cunard liner Servia. For
several years the United States fish commits
siOners have been at work exchanging varie-
ties, with 4 view of experimenting, and the
piscatorial immigrants are in line with this
work. OF lake trout, from the waters Of
Switzerland, about 10000 eggs are expected.
The other importation is a variety Of trout
called SaiblainP, found in Germany, and
there will be about 10000 Of these eggs in
the consignment. fhey are coming In %
inch cases, and are packed on trays of wood
en- frames, having muslin bottoms. The
eggs are covered with moss. The case is so
constructed that ice within it melts and drips
on the moss, keeping the eggs cool. The
eggs will be sent to the United States fish
commissioners hatchery at Bucksport. They
are sent by w. August Carter. of Malvern
Wells, England, the secretary Of the Nation
al Fish Culture Association Of England, and
in return the United States fish commissions

a Veteran Fireman.

Mr.. John Cousins, who last Monday ten
dered to the city his resignation as engineer
Of the Portland Fire Department, has been a
city fireman for an uninterrupted period Of
80 years, nearly 2S Of which he has served
the city as engineer Of steamer No. 2. Mr..
Cousins entered the service Of the fire de-
partment in January. 1858, as a member Of
the hand engine company No. 0, located at
the corner of st. Lawrence and Monument
streets, in the building now occupied by
Edward G. Morrill, as a grocery store. In
1862 he became engineer Of steamer No. 2,
when it occupied the old school building on
the site of No. SIS present house. When, in
1865, No. was transferred to the new engine
house on Munjoy Hill Mr.. Cousins and all
the company went with it. Only twice dur
ing these 80 years Of active service has Mr..
Cousins been incapacltated for duty by sick
ness for any considerable length Of time.
Last New Years day he received his first
serious injury in the service while at work
upon his engine, which has necessitated his
resignation.
Mr.. Cousins has ever been a most eff
clent and faithful engineer, and his with
drawal from the office he has so long held
deserves at least passing notice by the cit
liens Of our city. Our noble fremen are our
defenders of life and property. They are
often called upon to do heroic service in face
of personal peril. We heartily wish that our
good city was in financial condition to war
rant the pensioning Of every veteran and dis
abled fireman.
Mr.. Cousins has been for many years one
of the most highly esteemed citizens OF
Ward /, where he has ever been a loyal Re-
publican leader. He Is we'll known as a
Courteous and dignifed Christian gentleman.
| The boys will greatly miss his genial pres
ence in engine house No. 2 MIR. Cousins has
| gone into the grocery business with his son.

WITH a TAME EAGLE.
The Exploit which the Present Pre-
tender Has Called to Mind,

Louis Napoleon, the son of Louis, the Bo-
napartist, King of Holland, and nephew of
Napoleon, l. had already made an attempt at
Strasburg,to restore the Napoleonic dynasty,
in 1886. His attempt ended in ridicule, arrest
and exile, not still determined, he embarked
from England in August, 1910, for the conti-
nent, with the purpose of regaining the
French throne. This enterprise ended as
absurdly as the attempt at Strasburg. With
Montholon, companion of Napoleon /. at
st. Helena, and about so followers, he land
ed near Boulogne in the night of August 6,
displayed tame eagle; he failed to rouse
the enthusiasm of the troops, and was again
arrested, and two months later sentenced by
the chamber OF peers, despite Berryer's elo-
quent defence, ito perpetual Imprisonment.
He was confined in the fortress of Ham,
where Montholon and DIR. Conneau shared
his captivity and assisted him in preparing
various publications. Being selected by sew
eral Central American states as the president
of projected Nicaragua canal, an applica-
tiOn for his release was made in 1876, to
which the illness of the ex-king Louis gave
additional weight, but Louis Philippe de-
cliued to grant the request, and the prince
made his escape from Ham MAY 25) in the
dress of working man, with the assistance
of DIR. Conneau, and reached England. The
revolution of 1S4S made it possible Tor him to
return to France. His election to the presi-
dency of the republic and the successful
coup d'etat which ended in the restoration
of the empire in the person of Louis Napo-
leon as Napoleon Ill. followed.

EXPERTS PUZZLED.
The Business Situation Does Not I'm.
prove AS 1t Ought.

New YORK, February THE weekly re-
view of trade issued by r. G. Dun & Co., of
the mercantile agency says: sit rarely hap
pens that the situation in business is as per-
picking as it now appears. With many
causes of apprehension removed, there is
still lack of the expected activity. Not
withstandinga perceptible Improvement here
within the past few days, the general tenor
of the reports is less encouraging. Yet, in
every quarter, is seen strong confidence in
the future of business. Such reaction as ap-
pears is generally believed to be temporary.
The monetary prospect has clearly improved.
The building trades are more active than
ever before at this season and in the interior
grain movement Is large. There is little in
crease, or some decrease, compared with last
year in important manufactures as respects
actual sales since January. The foreign
trade of the country seems TO shrink little
as is natural after the enormous movement
of last year. Exports and imports at New
York both show some decline in comparison
with year ago." Failures in the last seven
days as reported to the Dun & Russell
agencies number for the United States 265.
For the corresponding week last year, there
were 273.

AS A PRIVATE.
Later News Is That the Duke Only
Wanted to Enlist.

PARIS. February THE Duke Of Orleans
lately resided in Lausanne, Switzerland.
He left them in company with the Duke of
Luynes, only only one year his senior. 1t is
said that none of his family were aware of
his intention to enter France. They are ig-
norant Of any plans he may haye.had, If hehas
other than alleged by himself when in Gus
tody. 1t is reported that he did endeavor
to enlist as private soldier but was refused
at the recruiting office for some informality
in his application, that he endeavored to
overcome this difficulty and was
referred to the ministry. As
he could not get satisfactory
response to his request to be permitted to
nerfQrm three years military service as an
enlisted man, ne wrUto pOIiIe letter 10 ".
de Freycinet, which was carried by the
Duke of Luynes. This letter was to
the effect that he had no in
tention to remain in Paris, nor
create any difficulty. He was legally pre-
cluded from holding any rank in the army,
but was ambitious for the honor of serving
France as a private soldier. Shortly after
this he was arrested. 1t is now positively
denied that that Count of Paris signed any
act of abdication.

Twenty YEARS FerofrEn.
A Woman Leaves an insane Asylum
to Join Her Family.

ST. LOUIS, February IT iSsnIy years ago
Ernest Wolff, his wife and two children,
lived in the south end of this city. The
birth Of third child caused the neither to
become insane, and she was sent to an asy-
lum. Shortly after putting her in the asy-
lum, her husband left st. Louis with his
children, and located at Holden, No., where
he took another woman to live with him.
His children were told that their mother was
dead and they never heard anything to the
contrary. Mrs VOLTS condition improved,
and she was set at liberty five years ago, but
when she went to her old home she could
find no trace of husband and children. She
wandered back to the asylum, her reason
again dethrOned.
DR.. Legrand Atwood had been particular
ly interested in the case, and year ago,
when Mrs. Wolff seemed sufficiently recOv-
cred to be sent away, he tried to find her
friends, and put an advertisement in the
newspapers. This attracted the attention of
a man at Holden, and he wrote to DIR. At
wood, telling him that the woInan's husband
was wealthy and living at Holden; that the
son and daughter were also living there.
DR.. Atwood wrote to the son. He and his
sister came to st. Louis, and took their
mother out Of the asylum. Steps have been
taken to secure divorce for Mrs. Wolff and
part OF her husbands wealth.

Isolated Oregon.

ASHLAND, Ore, February 7.-The extent
of the damage by the late rains to the Oregon
& California railroad, between here and
Roseburg, $50 miles north of here. cannot be
estimated even approximately, but is very
heavy. The railroad from Grants Pass to
Roseberg is reported to be one continuation
of slides. The streams all over southern
Oregon are reported as high, If not higher
than in 1861.
A report reached here late last night from
Glendale of an immense slide on the rail-
road, half mile south of the west fork in
Cow Creek canon. The slide came from a
high mountain, down to the bottom of the
canon, distance of 300 to 1000 feet, covering
the track and filling the canon.
The water backed up in the canon for a
distance Of three miles, is 500 feet wide, and
from 80 to 70 feet deep. Tunnel No. is
completely buried in water. Telegraph line
men built raft yesterday, and will try to
formed.

THE KING OF FRANCE IS IN JAIL.
He Is Duke Of Orleans, Son of the
Count Of Paris,
And Came Armed with His Fathers
Abdicatlon and a Manifesto.
A Coup d'Etat Modelled After Louis
Hapoleon's Rash Attempt.

PARIS, February by prompt action
the government today nipped in the bud
what was apparently intended to be royal
ist coup detat, modelled after Louis NapO-
Icons mad descent upon Boulogne. The
consequence is that the Duke of Orleans, the
eldest son Of the Count of Paris, is tonight
in custody The Duke arrived in Paris to-
day bearing letter written and signed by
the Countof Paris, announcing to the faith
full and all others the Counts abdication.
He also had with him manifesto address
ed to the people Of France. Nominally and
according to the theory of the pretenders,the
the pretender is always king Therefore
the Count of Paris abdIcates throne he
dicates his claims aslpretender. In virtue of
this abdication, all his claims, rights and IT,
ties descend to his eldest son. Philippe
Louis Robert. Duke of Orleans. This gen.
tleman is the actual pretender to the throne
In virtue of his claim as the heir OF Louis
Philippe and also as the heir OF the old
Bourbon line. His coming into the country
in violation of the law banishing all heads
and direct heirs OF regning families, is rash
act If it stands alone. The fact that he was
equipped with an appeal to the nation shows
his intention and may make the escapade
serious for him. If it should be developed
that this movement was made in virtue of
an understanding with partiZans of mOnar-
chy in France, 1t may be more than mere
violation of the law of expulsion.
The Duke is in France in
violation of a law made purposely for ex-
cluding his father ald himself as enemies of
the republic. This law was RENTED only in
favor of the Duke of Aumal. The Duke
of Orleans was at once arrested at the house
of Duke of Luynes. He was taken to the
prefecture of police, where his identy was
fixed beyond all doubt and where process
verbal of his violation of the law of Danish
ment was drawn up. He was detained in
the Conciergerie, famous as place of deten-
tion for royalty in distress. In the prison, he
was arraigned before the military authorizes
and the central bureau. In response to an in
quiry as to the objects and purposes Of his
visit to France, he said that having attained
his majority he came to France to place him
self at the disposal Of the military authori-
ties This dash and audacity is regarded as
a very happy stroke and sure to make friends
for him, for a gallant Frenzy boy who wants
to take his chance for conscriptiOn Is a
somewhat unusual and captivating figure to
appear in the daily news. M. Constans,
minister of the interior, ordered that the
Duke be held in custody The further dis
position of the case will depend upon wheth.-
er there was any plot for a general royalist
movement behind this incident. Nobody
just now is likely to be very fierce about the
pranks of boy related to all the royal fami-
lies in Europe, and whose grandmother was
of the house Of Macklen5urg-S -Schwerim.

HELD UP IN TRUE WESTERN STYLE.
An incident OF Frontier Life Eracted
In New York.
A Couple OF Toughs Play the Road

But the PIuckv coachman Dashes
Away Out Of Danger.

NEW YORK, February 7.-Comptroller
Theodore F. Jackson Of Brooklyn had an
experience with footpads on oath street in
this city late Wednesday night, which he
will not soon forget, though he was fortu-
nate in escaping without injury or loss. He
had left his home, 152 Taylor street. Brook
lyn. early in the evening, to attend the meet
ing OF the Bar Association on West Goth
street. At II o'clock he started for home.
in his carriage. While being driven through
oath street, near Lexington avenue, two
men sprang from out the shadow Of the
houses, and one Of them seized the horses by
the bride. and in true western stage robber
style, ordered the coachman to stop. threat
ening to brain him IL he demurred.
At the same moment the second highway
man approached the carriage door and de-
manded Mr.. Jackson's money and watch.
Before there was time for q reply. William
Hayes, the coachman, brought his whip
down upon the face and shoulders Of the
fellow at the horses heads, and sharply
turned the animals TO the right. The high
wayman was taken off his guard, and utter
ing an oath and expression Of pain. loosened
his hold Of the bride and was thrown vi0-
lently to the ground.
The man at the carriage door was more
determined, and hung on for nearly block,
while the driver urged his horses 10 their
best and attempted to beat the rutiian OIL
with his dubbed whip. This modern DICK
Turpin finally abandoned his desperate at
tempt, but the driver did not draw rein until
the 23d street ferry was reached.
Mr.. jackson stated yesterday that wnen
the man app jared at the door Of the coach
he thought 1t was, simply the freak Of a
drunken rowdy, and attached no Importance
to it until he heard the statement Of his
coachman, whom he complimented for his
bravery. He said he would not be able to
Identify the man, as 1t was quite dark, and
the fellow wore soft hat pulled down over
his eyes.
Hayes, the coachman, says the men were
armed with clubs or sand-bags, and he de-
scribes them as burly and desperate looking
ruffians. The street was entirely deserted at
the time, save by the actors In this remarka-
BILE occurrence, so the only safety Of the at
tackled party lay in flight

tropolis of the Western Hemisphere and the
perpetrators escape capture, seems almost
