NOT ALWAYS RAPID TRANSIT.

A Cessation of Travel on the Pleasant Val.
ley Read for Two Hours-The Burning
Out of a Dynamo Causes Much Pro-
family.
Talk about being able to stand trial
and adversely in any shape or form, ]
think this thing of standing on corner to
wait for a Pleasant Valley car is outra-
geous."
"Why do they delay SO long on the
road?'
'How long must we wait for the next
carp"
81 suppose till the robins nest again"
| "What's the matter?"
The thousands of patrons of the Pleasant
| Valley Electric Company's cars were in a DIS
| agreeable quandary last evening, and their
| troubles were only repetition of what has oc-
CURED for the last two days. Everybody who
| had occasion to ride on the road yesterday
noticed that something was wrong. The cars
| were going at a terribly slow rate and travel
| ing that way was absolutely monotonous
| About o'clock in the evening the corner of
Sixth and Smithfeld streets was transformed
| from mart of busy trade into an embryo
uni union railroad station - string of cars reach
one beautiful line, and for two hours all traffic
| on the road was at a dead stand-still. The CON-
panys office on the corner and the streets in the
| tient, disguised and vexed citizens who were
overdue at home and had to stay late in the city
on account of the delay.
Don't know anything about it" was the in.
telligent and highly interesting response given
to THE DISPATCH representative by several
conductors and motormen when asked as to the
cause of the trouble. 1.-THE company forbids
any conversation regarding the road with news
paper men,"
But they were not all of the same stripe. for
just enough was learned from a few employees
TO reveal the true state of affairs The delay
was owing to arrangement in the machinery
at the power house. Superintendent w, j,
Crozier was seen, and the following explapation
given OF the natter Zone of the Edison dyna-
mos was simply out of order" he said siThe
solder burned in one of the cups, and the arma-
ture, having no connection, broke the current"
The company's chief engineer, James Thomp-
son, said: THE delay on Saturday was caused
by the arrangement of the same dynomo that
got out of order this time. There are 30 cars
run on this circuit, and the heavy pull over
heated the solder in the cup"
Everything was put in proper shape again
last night and the regular speed of the cars
resumed.
The Pleasant Valley Company is removing
all It's old machinery from the power house of
the Observatory Hill line at the head of Fed
eral street, Allegheny, to the new power house
in Pleasant Valley. The old building on Fed.
eral street will in all probability be sold

Ground for it at Conneauf.
A well-known foreign railroad agent Of this
city returned from Erie yesterday and says

Brought by Attorney Porter.

Hearing in the Assault and Battery Suit
Brought by Attorney Porter.
Detective Sol Coulson had hearing yester-
day before Alderman McMasters on a charge
of assault and battery brought by L. K. Porter,
Esq. The prosecutor was the only witness
called, the defense then waving a further
hearing and giving $500 bail for for court.
Mr.. Porter said on Saturday morning he was
leaving the Central station, where he had been
defending Samuel French on a charge of SELL
ing liquor without license, when Coulson asked
him what he meant by defending people who
had been selling illegally ever since the Brooks
law went into effect. The witness replied that
he did not know they had been selling, and
that some people thought Coulson had it in
for them. The defendant replied that people
who said that were liars; that the witness was
a liar. and that he (Coulson) had notion to
arrest the witness. The witness said that he
would not do that, and Coulson grasped him by
the throat.
Mr.. Edmunson interfered, and Turnkey Har-
ris also came up and Mr.. Porter accompanied
him into the station. When Mr.. Porter was
passing inside the railing the defendant. who
was behind him, struck him twice. and, show
ing him inside, said: II want this ---
locked up."

THINKS SHE HAS FOUND HIM.
The Western Girl In Search of n Husband
Believes She's SuccussfuI.

The Western Girl In Search of n Husband
Believes She's Succussful.
Mrs. E. s. Williams, the lady at the Seventh
Avenue Hotel, who came from the West in
search of her husband here, left for some
point in Ohio yesterday afternoon, where he is
said to be located Before leaving she told the
clerk that the Pittsburg business man whom
she had suspected was the brother of her hus-
band had called on her, and admitted that E.
s. Williams was his brother, but that
was not his name. He then proposed
remarriage to rectify the difficulty,
and claimed that he thought she
was detective when she called on him at his
store and this is why he was so abusive in his
language. b 9 said his brother was in Ohio,
and asked the wife to go there. The brother
here paid the hotel Dill and all her expenses.
A certain local detective figured prominently
in the interviews at the hotel yesterday morn
ing, and the lady said he was profuse in his
offers of money to assist her. Mrs. Williams
called at THE DISPATCH Office yesterday
morning and desired it to be stated that she
had found her husband. 1t is hoped she has,
for the poor girl is much distressed in mind.

TO ORGANIZE AT MKEEsP0RT.
Master Workman Evans Going After the
National Tube Workers.

Master Workman Joseph L. Evans. of D. A.
No. 3, Knights of Labor, went to McKeesport
yesterday for the purpose of braciug up the
local assembly of clerks at that place. The
stores there now close at 7:30 o'clock, which
rule has been in effect since the local assembly
was organized some time ago. Since then the
assembly has almost lapsed on account Of the
little interest taken in the organization.
Mr.. Evans may also organize an assembly
among the employees of the National Tube
Works, who were out on a strike last week. A
great many Of the men were former members
of the order, and the recent strike showed
them the necessity of an organization. If they
had an association or organization of any kind
the strike could not have occurred. This senti-
ment was expressed not only by the cool
headed men who were forced out, but by the
officials of the company. The Knights of
Labor had three or four local assemblies there
some years ago. but they lapsed.

MAY STRIKE SCOTS MINERS.

Some of the Other Coal Operators Cannot
Compete With Them.
The railroad coal operators are in trouble
again. This time they threaten to close down
their mines unless the United Mine Workers
Association organizes the men employed in w.
l.. Scott's mines. 1t is stated the latter are
working for IS cents per ton, while the
miners working for other firms were being paid
70 cents.
The employers who are paying 70 cents say
they cannot compete with Mr. Scott, who not
only gets his labor cheaper, but has many ad-
vantages in the way of shipping facilities they
do not possess. The attention of the miners
officials will be called to the matter, and an
out for 70 cents.

THE NEwsBoYg HOME FUND.
MIR. G. L. Magee Makes Splendid Offering
Of $4,000.

The popular contribution for the Newsboys'
Home undertaken by our evening cotempor-
ary, the Press, has reached the $4,000 limit, but
is held open until Saturday next with a view to
increasing the sum to $4,000, which. it is
judged, will be adequate to provide commodi-
GUS and in every respect desirable quarters for
the boys.
The fact was yesterday disclosed that C. L
Magee Esq. was the donor of the handsome
$4,000 subscription which has attracted notice
from the start, though the name Of the SUBJ
scriber was until yesterday withheld. Mr.. Ma
gee pledged the amount when the Press opened
its books merely afixing the condition that
his name be not disclosed until the general sub
scriptions aggregated like amount. His gen.
eresity was highly spoken of yesterday in every
quarter; but those who know Mr.. Magee will
be well aware that his greatest satisfaction
will not arise from this. but from the kDowl-
edge of the great usefulness that is possible to
the institution which he has helped so hand
somely to endow.

An Ohio Railroad Company Chartered to
Make a Survey.


Make a Survey.
Mr.. ]. ]. Brooks, one of the incorporators Of
the Massillon and Little Beaver Railroad Com
pany, said yesterday that the Pennsylvania
Company had no connection with the concern
now, but it might have in the future. The
charter, he said, was taken out SO that they
could make a survey of the country. Mr..
Brooks said that nothing may come of the road
at all. If after the survey is made the engineers
find it would cost too much, the road won't be
built. The proposed line will run through rich
coal lands, and the line was suggested to tap
the region. Mr.. Brooks is one of the counsel
for the Pennsylvania Company.
The road, if ever built, will be so miles long
The western terminus will be at Massillon and
it will begin at the Little Beaver river, in LiY-
erpool township,

Chief of Department of CHAR
A COMMITTEE CRITICIZED,

During the discussion on the reference Of the
communication, President Ford took occasion
to criticize the failure OF the Committee on
Charities to meet and organize. 1t was for this
reason that the matter was referred to a special
committee.
Messrs. Lambie, Heating and Warmcastle
spoke on the communication, and warmly H.
dorsed the idea of changing the location of the
Poor Farm.
Chief Elliot was seen in regard to the pro-
posed change, and said "The Poor Farm was
established in 1850 when the population of
Pittsburg was about 10000 or $4,000. 1t was
then intended simply as home for the aged
and inf1rm poor. Since then its scope has been
enlarged, and we receive the sick and insane
accommodations are inadequate for our
needs. Another thing is, we have more
trouble keeping people out than we
have in keeping the inmates In. Superintend
ent Linderman is greatly annoyed by trespass-
ers We are surrounded by a large and con-
stantly increasing population. and we have not
the retirement that is necessary for an institu-
ton of this character. / cannot suggest any
site for the farm; that is a matter for the Coun-
ellis to settle, but am confident that the farm
can now be sold for sufficient to buy a much
more suitable place. The farm cost $1,000 In
1850 and the improvements have cost about
$4,000"
Controller Morrow is of the opinion that the
Poor Farm would bring somewhere in the
neighborhood of $3.50 600, as property there has
appreciated wonderfully in the past few years
He thinks there are any number of good sites
to be found along the Monongahela and Alle-
gheny rivers.

SUICIDE OF AN OLD RESIDENT.

Death in San francisco of a One Time Cam
didate for Sheriff of Allegheny County.
Charles Kent, an old-time resident of Pitts
burg, committed suicide couple of days ago
In San Francisco by jumping into the bay.
In 1850 Mr.. Kent. who was butcher and kept
a stall in the old Diamond Market ran on the
Know N othing ticket for Sheriff of Allegheny
county. He was defeated by William Magili
Kent's friends adopted the following doggerel
for campaign song:
We're bound to run all night,
We're bound to run all day.
With Charlie Kent the butcher boy,
We'll beat ola Billy Magill.
Mr. Kent lived at that time in the Sixth
ward. and was a member of the Relief Voun-
teer Fire Company, now No. 4. After his de-
feat for Sheriff he removed to California
where he was more successful in politics. being
elected Sheriff of Nevada county, and after
ward going to the State Senate.
His suicide is attributed to dependency
caused by business reverses.
