THE DOG WAR OVER.
A TRUCE TO THE SLAUGHTER CALLED
BY CHIEF BROWN.

He Will Cooperate with the Humane So.
ciety in Preparing n New Luw-Fifteeu
Hundred Dogs Killed in the First
Thirteen Wards.
The dog war ended yesterday. This is
due to public sentiment and the ladies' COM
mittee of the Humane Society. Yesterday
morning Mrs. Lee Mason, Mrs. Peter Young
and Miss Ella Paisley found Chief Brown
in his Office. They laid before him their
views on killing dogs, and at IL o'clock the
Chief issued an order that NO dogs should be
killed until further notice.
Chief Brown has suggested that the humane
Society prepare new law that will make it
burdensome for people to keep more than one
or two dogs, and will require persons to take
out license and also pay an animal tax for
Society and Chief Brown will meet next
Wednesday morning to draft new act on the
subject, which will be presented at the next
session of the Legislature.
Chief Brown said the way to have an obnox-
10 law repealed was to enforce it, and he
thought he had made good headway. He said
he was % anxious to have a more Sos,oo specific INC
officers had made many errors. but that most
of the cases of cruelty were caused by people
who took advantage of the dog crusade to
poison ANIMALS on their own account
Inspector McAleese said the order did not
make much difference to him. "We were
ordered to kill them" said he, "and we put
more than 1500 of them out of the way. This
was only in the first 13 wards. Any dogs killed
outside OF this district were by private parties.
They evidently do not know they are liable to
a fine and Imprisonment for poisoning ami
mails"
General Agent O'Brien, of the Humane So
eiety, was busy yesterday preparing informa-
tion for the benefit of the societys solicitors at
their meeting next week with Chief Brown.
Information will be collected from other cities
as to the manner and cost OF capturing and
killing stray dogs.

NO VERDICT YET.

Another Adiourumeur of the Mcdonald In
quest TIL To- -lIorrow-Mrs. Smith Says
She Doesn'f Fear Arresf-No New De.
veIopmeuts nt All In the Cnse.
Deputy Coroner Berry and his jury
waited until an hour past the time set for
the conclusion of the inquest on the death
of Miss Lizzie Mcdonald, the young lady
alleged to have committed suicide on ac-
count of depression of spirits caused by the
revelations of fortune teller, Mrs. Smith,
who lives on Carson street, Southside. AS
no witness put in an appearance, the
investigation was adjourned until to-mor-
row.
Mr.. Berry expressed the opinion that the
coroner's office had nothing specially to 90
with Mrs. Smith, and that it was the business
of the police authorities to look after her case.
If they wished to suppress fortune-telling- he
have been made by Mrs. Smith had any rele-
vancy to the death of the unfortunate, so far
as the Coroner's Office was concerned.
Mrs. Smith, the reputed prophecies, states
that she does not think there is any 1ntentlop
of arresting her, and it seems that if she does
possess the art of div1nation it does not point
to her apprehension, not in way 10 give ner
any perturbation, at all events, as sne says sne
has not endeavored to hide herself, but mas
made frequent Journeys to this side and TO AL
legheny, and could have been picked up
at almost any time since the trouDle
began, had the guardians OF the peace been
disposed to take her Mrs. Smith declines to
talk about the case, but says the coroner can
find her at any time he feels like naYing ner
arrested, and intlmAtes that II sne Is calleo 70
testify she may have something TO say tnat
may interest other people beside herself.
Whether or no there be an African in the
woodplle may probably be developed to-
city, but he is quoted as saying that Mrs.
Smith would be arrested within a day or two

hardly worthy consideration. 1t was gen.
orally held the South was not yet indepen-
dent of Northern supplies; that it was just
beginning to become prosperous, but that
still its prosperity was too closely allied
with thai of the North, and too closely con-
nected with it by financial relations to admit
of anything of the sort occurring.
cit would not interfere with the glass
trade at all" said Mr.. Daniel Brice, of
Brice Brothers, last night, when asked
about the proposed boycott. Mr.. Brice then
went on to explain that there is no glass
manufactured in the South. The Northern
manufacturers could not be shut out unless
their Southern patrons adopt heroic methods,
and go without glass, or go to the additional
expense of importing it from Europe. He
thought that Southern merchants were like
all others. They look to the dollars and
cents, and will not allow their business to
be interfered with when It comes to ques-
tion of making money. They would more
likely keep on with their trade no matter
what the agitation results in, and would let
the politicians do the boycott talking.
RECLAIMED THEIR TRADE.
Mr.. Brice said that the glass industry
would not be endangered bit. The only
thing that could stop trade in this article is
war. After the late war the trade was all
regained. Of the seven branches of the
glass industry, not one has home in the
South. This is due to the fact that the
Northern firms have become established
and can supply the whole country.
Mr.. Harvey Chess. Of Chess, Cook & Co.,
did not think the talk of boycott amounted
to much His firm does not manufacture
iron goods for the Southern trade particu-
larly, but he has kept track of the present
agitation. He said that it looked to him
like a good deal of bluster, and he did not
think It would meet with such favor in the
South as predicted.

A Pair of Accidents, One the Result Of
Another.
Yesterday afternoon pair of accidents, one
the direct result of the other, occurred in
Allegheny wherein one man lost his life, an
other was seriously if not dangerously, in
jured, and = valuable team of horses was killed.
The Alleghe ny Heating Company are laying a
large gas main on East Ohio street, and among
the workmen employed there were Edward
Magill and jeremiah Reardon. Magill was
teamster, and was hauling earth from the ex-
cavation to the dump on the river bank. About
/ o'clock Magill started with load for the
dump, and while crossing the Pittsburg and
Western Railroad tracks at Herr's Island sta
tion the day express, due in the city shortly
after o'clock, collided with the wagon. Ma
gill was knocked a distance of % feet and was
seriously injured about the head and body.
One of the horses was killed outright and the
other was injured SO badly that it had to be
pieces of 1t being knocked distance of 100
feet.
At the time this accident occurred the work.
men on the pipe line had large section of pipe
on pair of skids ready to be lowered into the
ditch, where Jeremiah Reardon was at work.
When the men heard of the accident they
started for the scene. They had hardly de-
parted when a wagon being driven by
struck one of the skids and caused the heavy
pipe to roll into the ditch where Reardon was
at work. The pipe struck the workman with
full force, crushing his skull and causing in
slant death. Magill was removed to the ALLIE
gheny General Hospital, and last night he was
miah Reardon was removed to his home, in
Furnace row, Woods Run, where an inquest
will be held to-day. The deceased was 35 years
old, and leaves wife and two children.

A RATTAN BOY-CATCHER.

Novel Device for Preventing Cable Car Fa.
taIities, Invented by a Californian.
Right on the heels of the article in yester-
days DISPATCH in regard to the terrible dam
ger lurking in the cable car pilots. comes the
information that California manufacturer
has become interested in the matter and devised
. novel guard TO protect people from being
crushed under the wheels of the flying trac-
tions.
l was much interested in the DISPATCH
article" said Mr.. Patrick F. Dundon, of San
Francisco, now stopping at the Central Hotel.
Il have patented a novel device to be attached
to the front end of the car. 1t is brush con-
sistng of about 20 rows of rattan canes, fastened
to V-shaped timbers, under the platform. There
are supporting timbers in the rear of the
brush, When it strikes an obstruction the
front reeds are forced to the ground, and thus
prevent anything getting under the wheels"
Mr.. Dundon proposes to have test of his
invention on Pittsburg cable cars. provided the
companies are willing, and is certain some
such arrangement would save many lives. His
brush, OF something of the kind, Is to be used
In San Francisco. where similar complaints as
to danger from pilots have been made.

A Mirnculons E.cnne.

Mr.. Geo. Dickson, At Gum St, was sitting
in the hall some distance from the open door
during the wind storm on the evening of
July q when the door slammed. breaking
the glass into thousands of pieces. He
looked over his shoulder to see what had
happened, when piece hit him in the eve,
cutting the ball open, letting out the iris.
He consulted DR.. Sadler, 804 Penn ave.,
who dressed the wound, when it healed
kindly. A few days after the Doctor no.
ticed thickening in the lower lid, and on
investigation found pointed piece of glass
one-half inch long endwise in the socket
down under the ball and removed it.

WHAT P1TTsBURG WOULD LOSE.
General Guthrie Thinks it Would Take
S2.OOO,OOO n Year to Cover II.

General 7. N. Guthrie spoke last evening of
how Pittsburg would fare should the Federal
election bill pass. He said: 1.-THE manufactur-
ing industries of Pittsburg will lose about g.
10000 annually if the measure were adopted.
1t is so radical and out of keeping with the pre-
vailing ideas of fairness. that l believe any
person with the welfare of the United States at
heart will not advocate the measure"
Ex-Postmaster Larkin thought that 1.-The
disastrous results in store for manufacturers
would not be realized SO largely as anticipated.
/ think that trade will experience some de-
pressing effect, but not to any great extent
There are some branches of trade" he contin-
ued, "that would not come under the talked of
boycott. for which the South would have no
other recourse than to come to the Pittsburg
market"
J. P. Fleming said: "There would be a
marked decrease in the sale of Pittsburg COM
modities if the bill were put in force, but there
is little likelihood of it passing the Senate"

garding the question at issue between the
roller and the roughers in divers Woods Run
Mill. An adjournment was made to continue

the plea that his mill is specially" mill. This
point the committee ill investigate.
The clause referred to- reads: '.Roughing

be paid for by the roller. at not less than 30per
cent of the rollers wages" The roller was
paying his men less than this rate.

The Strange Story Told By u Lad Picked Up
On the Streets.

On the Streets.
Andrew Pollack, a 12-year old boy. was picked
ny by the police last night at the market house.
where he has been sleeping for the last three
nights. He was taken to Central station, where
he told strange story He said he came from
Virgin run, near Uniontown. His father was a
stonemason. and built ovens at Rainey's coke
works, while his mother kept dairy. About
five months ago, he said his parents were
poisoned by man named John Kodac, who
lived in the same building. Kodac wanted to
buy some milk from them. and when told they
could not spare any, he, out of revenge, put
rough on rats in some of their buttermilk. Mr..
and Mrs. Pollack drank the milk and both
died.
Kodac is now in Jail at Uniontown. No one
took any interest in the boy. He managed to
pick up a living for awhile and finally drifted
toward Pittsburg, arriving here three days ago.
Since that he has been begging food and sleep
ing in the market house. He was given quar-
rers for the night and some disposition will be
made of him to-day.
