SHOTS AT A HORSE

Tha: Landed in the Leg of a Boy and STay
Yet Cause His Death-LiveIY scuffie
mud Great Excitement on Penn Avenue,
Last Evening.
There was quite lively time last even
ing about O'Clock, at the corner OF Penn
avenue and Tenth street. Citizens line
car No. 130, about that time struck a horse
belonging to Samuel Kinney, a scrap iron
dealer, and in jured it badly, almost sever
ing one foot. Humane Agent O'Brien
happened to be near the spot, and summon
ing Officer McStoey, told him that the
poor brute would have to be killed
The officer prepared to shoot the
animal, the bystanders, meanwhile, offering
many suggestions as to the best mode of
procedure, when a small, keen-looking Ger
man forced his way through the crowd and
volunteered to do the shooting, saying that
he understood how it should be done. The
officer, thinking that he was probably the
owner of the horse, and at Agent O'Brien's
suggestion, gave the revolver to the man,
who at once sent a bullet into the horses
head.
At this juncture two men named Jack
McDermott and Patrick 7. Churchill,
living on Twelfth street and Pike street, re-
spectivelv, appeared on the scene with a
large load of Liquor on board. McDermott
concluded that the German did not know
how to shoot a horse and proposed TO show
him how it should be done. Then a scuffie
for the possession of the revolver ensued,
during which the crowd, now numbering
several hundred, scattered in wild alarm.
McDermott succeeded in getting the re-
volver, and opened fire. A boy named
Smith, living on Pike street, received one
of the shots in the leg. This caused intense
excitement, and McDermott dropped the
revolver and fled.
After an exciting chase down Mulberry
alley to Sixth street and back, McDermott
was captured by Officer McStoey and the
patrol called. While waiting for the
wagon Churchill, who had been chased
around the block by Agent O'BrIen, re-
turned to the frav and proceeded to club tine
officer over the head. he was also secured,
and the pair were taken to Central station,
but not till considerable clubbing was in
dulged in all round.
There was great excitement occasioned by
the affair, and many were disposed to CEN
sure Officer McStoey, who has been on the
force but two days, very severely for surren-
dering his gun to the German. But Agent
O'Brien, who was an eyewitness and an ac-
tive participant in the melee, says that, un-
der the circumstances, as detailed above, he
was perfectly justified in acting as as he did.
At any rate be succeeded in landing the two
offenders behind the bars. The boy Smith,
who was quite seriously injured, was re-
moved IN his home

DEATH MAY RESULT.
A Woman Beaten Black and Blue by Her
Husband-she Tells Horrible Story Of
BrutaIIty-warrnnrs Out for the Arrest

A Woman Beateu Black and Blue by Her
Husband-she Tells n Horrible Story of
Warrants Out for the Arrest
of Her Husband.
The town OF Elizabeth on the Mononga-
hela river, is all torn up over case OF
alleged brutality on the part of business
man of the place toward his wife and step
children. The woman is lying in critical
condition and may not recover.
General Agent o'Brien, of the Humane
Society. yesterday made an information be-
fore Justice of the Peace Graham, of Eliza
beth, against William Hagmeir, baker,
charging him with cruelty to children.
Additional charges of assault and battery
and surety of the peace were made by Mrs.
Hagmeir, who is now at her mothers house,
in Elizabeth, in a critical state of health,
said to be due to brutal treatment on the
part of her husband.
At the time of Mrs. Hagmeir's marriage
last January she was a widow of three
years. After her husbands death she
started bakery and confectionery. At the
time she met and married Hagmeir she vas
in possession of a comfortable income. After
the second marriage her husband soon be-
gan to neglect the business until it fell
away to almost nothing. Besides this, Mrs.
Hagmeir asserts, he began a course of sys-
tematic abuse Immediately after the mar
riage. The two children of Mrs Hagmeir's
by her former marriage, seemed to
be the special objects of his bru-
tallty. On last Monday he capped
the climax by terribly beating the children
and their mother. The latter may not re-
cover from the effects of the treatment re-
ceived. She lay unconscious in the house
for several hours after the occurrence, be-
fore anyone was aware of her condition.
A physician called to attend her stated
that her condition was highly dangerous.
At Elizabeth the affair is looked upon quite
in the light of murder. and great deal of
excitement has resulted. Agent O'Brien
states that Mrs. Hagmeir was terribly
kicked, her limbs being mass of dIscolored
bruises. Hagmeir was not about the place
when the informations we're made, but will
be arrested by this morning.

ALLEGHENY COMMITTEES.

Considerable Business Handled In snort
Time-Drawing the Lines on the Pitts.
burg and western-A Proposition for
Ten New Light Towers.
Allegheny Council Committees disposed
of considerable business last night the
bulk of it being transacted in the Street
Committee room, where several important
improvements were considered. Colonel
Andrews, representing the property holders
on Sandusky street, asked that Con-
tractor Huckenstein be restrained from
using the street for quarry.
He stated that Huckensteir had been en-
gagged in digging up the street, without au-
thority, and had removed about hve feet OF
the roadway, which was detrimental to the
interests of the other property owners. 1t
was decided to notify him to desist from
further work on the street and to restore 1t
to the proper grade or suffer the conse-
quence.
Mr. Hartman presented a petition on be-
half of the citizens, in which 1t was asked
that the Pittsburg and Western Railroad
Company be compelled to provide safety
gates at the Sycamore street crossing, as
traffic is quite heavy on this street. 1t was
found upon looking over the records that the
Pittsburg and Western had been asked to
erect the safety gates three years ago. The
sub-Street Committee will attend to the
matter.
The ordinance to grant certain rights to
the Suspension Bridge Company to make
alterations in the approach to the bridge in
order to adapt the structure for the running
of electric cars, was held over until the next
meeting, as was also the ordinance for the
elevation of Federal street between Robin
son street and the bridge.
Several contracts for street improvements,
aggregating about SIS, 900, were awarded.
The Allegheny Gas COMMITTEES met last
night and approved a number of bills. The
resolution asking for the erection of ten new
towers and mast arms was referred to sub
committee.
The Allegheny Fire Committee met last
night and approved bills to the extent of
$1,000. 1t was recommended that the con-
tract for 1000 feet of hose for the fire de-
partment be awarded to the Akron Rubber
Company at 81 per foot.
The Allegheny Poor Board met last night
and approved bills to the amount of &c.
6S5 SO. The report of Steward Ralshouse
for the month of August showed that there
were 247 inmates at the Poor Farm.

HAS CAUGHT RIGHT ON.
GREAT INTEREST TAKEN IN THE TOP.
IcAL BALLoTING.

Several Hundred People Want the Old
Block House Preserved Its Historic
sIte-The Topic for To-day Another
Equally Popular One.
If the number of names on The DIS
PATCH poll books at the Exposition is any
indicator of the number of visitors nearly as
large crowd was present last night as on
the one previous. The subject for voting
was, "Should the old Block House at the
Point be removed to Schenley Park, or
should it remain where it is and the Point
be turned into park"
Over 400 votes were cast. Out of that
number only 81 persons voted to have the
historic building removed to Sehenley Park,
and number OF these were young people
who voted thoughtlessly. The old soldiers
were very decisive in their opinion that the
old Block House should remain were it is,
and park be built around it. Rev. DIR.
W. j. Holland printed ''Stay" in big letters
opposite his name, and William McCreary
put "ditto" under it.
No children were allowed to vote, and
only those registered who would sound the
popular pulse. Several asked: "Why,
which way do you want me to vote?" The
DISPATCH had no choice to express, and
each vote was as truthfully the sentiments
of the people as though taken by the Aus
tralian system.
Another thing noticeable was the fact that
all out-of-town visitors invariably voted
"stay." The general sentiment was echoed
by b. A. Pawley, of Chicago, who wrote
under his name: "Pittsburg needs parks,
and the making of this historic spot into
one will add one more feature of interest to
the CITY," A number of people hesitated to
vote because thev did not know whether
there was possibility of having park
built around the landmark, and if not,
Schenley Park was their next choice.
Among those who voted were: P. G.
Schoeneck, Jr., John Cunningham, Robert
Patton, George G. jerks, Samuel S. Bow
den, T. j. Fitzpatrick, Mr.. and Mrs. John
Whitehead, A. G. Zim. H. P. Hass, W. H.
Kuhns, w. s. Weeden, W. H. Childs,
Robert D. Barker,A- G. Mexican, Frank
A. Hopper, Herman Straub, E. L. Con-
nelly, J. II. Porter. Edward F. Gearing,
Joseph Mckee. W. J. Huston, J. B. Nc
Ginley, E. B. Bennett, I. Ewing, A.
Hartupu, Harry Ditheridge. Samuel L.
Bassett, A. B. Johnston, j. L. Foster. j.
S. Montgomery, John NJ. Sias and P. G.
Gillespie.
The voting topic for to-day is one that
newspaper readers will be familiar with.
Chief Bigelow had planned to trans orm the
Allegheny river wharf from the Sixth street
bridge to the Exposition buildings into a
park. The question still hangs fire. Voters
will have chance to-day to say Eyes" or
"no" on the question of transforming the
wharf into a park and promenade. The
poll-books will be open from A. M. to 10 P.
M. Write your name, address and your
answer, together with any comment bearing
on the question.

THAT BEAVER FALLS STRIKE.
The President of the Company Gives His
Side of the Story.

The President of the Company Gives His
Side of the Story.
The strike of the sawmakers at Emerson,
Smith & Co.'S Beaver Falls works still con-
tinues. As already stated in The Dis
PATCH, the men requested the dismissal of
one of their number, George E. Gatchell, on
the ground that he had refused to join their
union. This the company refused, and the
men struck. The chairman of the COM
pany, Mr.. James E. Emerson, in this con-
nection said last night:
"We refused to discharge Mr.. Gatchell
on the grounds that he has been in our
steady employ for more than IA years as saw
grinder; that really only two men in our
employ were required to come in contact
with him; that both of these men and sew
eral others also refused to join them. and
that it was not our business to inquire into
petty disputes among our workmen. So
about 70 of our men quit instanter. We
then gave them all a certain time to con-
slider the matter of returning. None of
them returned, but all came in on our regu-
lar pay day, which is once every two weeks,
and got their money and signed a receipt in
full. We held that, as this was free coun"
try, man has right to join any lawful
organization or to refuse, as he pleases, and
to dispose of his own labor, skill or services
as best he can in any lawful pursuit. We
refused positively to submit to any arbitra-
ton, as it was never q question of more
wages or shorter hours. We had nothing
whatever to arbitrate."

THE ST. CHARLES HOTEL,
Corner Third and Wood streefs-The Place

Corner Third and Wood Sireefs-The Place
to Go for Comfort and Convenience.
This house not only manages to retain its
old friends, but constantly makes new ones
by reason Of the unwearied watchfulness Of
the management in providing for the COM
fort Of all who come under its hospitable
roof The hotel is well arranged, well
lighted and possesses efficient officers in
every department.. The rooms are cheerful,
the beds inviting, and the caterer knows
how to provide for hungry folks in the most
acceptable manner. There are few hotels
that provide as lavish an array of edibles,
embracing all the deIicacies obtainable at
the various seasons of the year, cooked 70
perfection and served in the best style.
When 1t is understood that the ST. Charles,
in addition to the advantages enumerated,
is most conveniently and centrally located,
it is no wonder that travellers having once
stopped there, return to it again and again
when their journeyIngs bring them to Pitts
burg. The Transverse line of street cars
pass the door on Wood street; the electric
cars on Third avenue carry passengers from
the hotel entrance direct to the main gates
of the Exposition buildings; the Central
Traction cars are only one block distant, as
are also the Birmingham lines of street rail-
way-in short, no hotel in the city is more
easy of access.
Under the management OF Mr.. Charles s.
Gill the hotel has been improved and mod
ernized in all its appointments, provided
with electric lights, electric bells and nat
ural gas throughout; and the service and
attention are so efficiently rendered and so
unobtrusive that guests, unless they are un-
usually observant, scarcely realize how
large force of trained servants are labor
ing unremittingly to keep everything in
perfect order.
Commercial travellers are provided with
every facility to display their samples, and
these "angels of commerce" appreciate the
advantages OF The location, which is in the
heart of the business portion of the city.
The latest addition to the st. Charles is q
new bar room. 1t is one of the most at
tractive and best stocked to be found. The
room, which is large, is finished in solid
mahogany, provided with electric fans and
splendidly lighted. Efficient attendants
concoct very tempting drinks to quench the
thirst of its patrons; and 1t is fact that its
exclusive brands of old Monongahela rye
and other choice liquors can scarcely be
duplicated elsewhere. So perfect is the
order maintained that many guests have
come and gone unaware that there was bar
in the hotel.
The Office is on the first floor An ele-
vator conveys guests to the reading, smok-
ing and writing rooms on the second floor;
or to the upper floors where the sleeping
apartments are located.
The st. Charles is to-day hotel that
challenges comparison with any similar
rate hotel in the country. Its bills OF fare
will bear favorable comparison with higher
priced hotels, and its rooms, appointments,

The Twenty-Fihh Street Employees Deter
mine to Remain Out.
There was full attendance of the strik-
ing employees of the Westinghouse Machine
Company, yesterday, to reafirm the posi-
ton already taken-that of holding out for
the terms of the petition. About 120 men
were present. one half of whom belonged to
the machinists' organizations. 1t was re-
ported that only two men and one boy had
gone back since the strike originated. 1t
was unanimously decided to hold out to the
end.
Special officers are still detailed to watch
the various works Of the company, and make
periodical reports at Central station as to
the condition of the atmosphere surrounding
the buildings. Pinkerton men, or men who
are not on the ordinary municipal force,
also keep watch and ward over the proceed
ings of strikers, and are always adjacent
when meetings are being held.
