Four Little Ones Badly Hurt Through Reck-
less Driying-Frank Hopkins Killed on
the B. & O. Rond-Two Buggies Collide
on Penn Avenue.
Yesterday afternoon Daniel Brady, pro-
prietor of saloon at the corner OF Second ave-
nue. and Ross street. hired a covered Jersey
wagon to attend a funeral and the vehicle
was sent to his place about o'clock. Brady
was not quite ready to 60, and while the
vehicle was standing hitched in front of the
house, William Wells, boarder in the
house, conceived the idea of taking four
little daughters of Brady's, ranging from 2
to II years, for ride. The children were
put into the carriage, and Wells, who was
under the influence of liquor, started the
horse up Ross street at great speed. The
corners at Fourth avenue to Grant street
were turned on two wheels, and at Second
avenue the performance was repeated, but
as the team was turned off Second avenue on
to Ross street again, the turn was too short,
and wheel broke, turning the carriage
over on its side and spilling Wells and the
four little girls out on the cobbIe stones.
Wells was not hurt, but each of the chill

to the vehicle was caught before it had gone
far, but the carriage was badly wrecked.

3S years of age, and leaves wife and one
child. He was walking along the track
when the accident occurred.

while away an afternoon.
All day long the Allegheny Cemetery was
crowded with people and the many gay
colored dresses were quite a contrast to the
cold marble that marks the last resting
places. Two officers were on duty all day
but had no cases of depredations or disorder
to report.

REDUCED TO WANT.
An Accomplished Indy in q Most Deplorable
Condition.

Mrs. Sarah Gildersleeve, aged about 40
years and a W idow, arrived in the city yes
terday morning from Washington, d. c.,
from which place she had been sent BY the
police authorities on her way to Chicago.
Mrs. Gildersleeve is lady of refinement
and great musical ability. She went to
Washington few weeks ago with the in
tention of earning her living by teaching
music. She was unsuccessful, however, and
after spending all her money was reduced to
pawning her jewelry and part of her cloth
ing to keep soul and body together while
endeavoring to secure some kind of situa-
tion. She was reduced to such an extremity
last week that she had to apply to the police
for transportation back to Chicago, where
she has friends.
The Washington officials gave her ticket
to Pittsburg. and she will probably be
ticketed the balance of the trip by Chief
Elliot, to whom the case has been reported.

Chief OF Police Murphy, OF Allegheny,
with the detectives of the front office, yester-
day morning raided a speak-easy operated
by Jacob Hasley, on River avenue. Mr..
and Mrs Hasley were caught, with Clara
O'Neil, Frank Smith, Charles Miller, John
Brown, John Smith, James Smith, James
Mccall and William Mcdonald, and all
were locked up in the station for a hearing
this morning. The raid was made shortly
after 9 o'clock, or, it Is said, there would
have been more arrests, as the patrons of the
place had not had time to come around.
The same house was pulled about month
ago, when 16 people were caught. Chief
Murphy made the raid on an information
charging Hasley with selling without a
license, and says that he will make another
charge against him to-day, of selling on
Sunday.
Durind the raid a man named Andy
Swords interfered with the officers and was
placed in arrest and locked up with the
others, though not before making strong
resistance. There were Is cases of beer and
several quarts of whisky found in HasIey's
house; all of which was taken to tine Mayors
Office and locked up in cell, as evidence.

NEW BOYCOTT MEASURES.

The knights of Labor TO Continue to Fight
the Piffsburg Traction Company.
The quarterly convention of D. A. No. 8.
knights of Labor, will be held, beginning
Wednesday. Very little outside of routine
business will be transacted. The boycott
against the Pittsburg Traction Company
will be one of the most important matters to
come before the meeting. New measures
will be adopted to carry on the boycott.
The secret work is being pushed among the
different local assemblies and unions, and
the company is said to be losing money in
consequence. Every labor man living along
the line of the road now walks to and from
his residence rather than patronize the cars.
The Knights of Labor officials say they will
Eot begin to boycott the road in earnest
until the Duquesne line begins operations.
Since the last quarterly meeting three
new local assemblies have been organized,
one in this city, one in Jeanette and the
other in Bellevernon.

A discharged employe of one of the prin-

adopted novel way of getting square with
his former employers. For several days he
has been sending threatening letters to the
firm, and yesterday two postal cards were
received at THE DISPATCH office with the
glass manufacturers name signed to them,
which read as follows:
GENTLEMEN-I am not going to try to stick
out any longer. have failed with my business
and want you to please and make mention of
it in your valuable paper. am off to Chicago
on the next train.
The man has been the source of consider
able annoyance to the glass manufacturer,
as the latter has received as many as a
dozen threatening postal cards in one day.
