became necessary to dodge bricks, the cashier
becoming furious at the, idea of his privacy

CHARGED TO SPITE.
MESsRS. C. L. MAGEE AND A. F. KEATING
SPEAK VERY PLAINLY.

Plaintiff Howard Called an Obstructionist-
His Connection With the Pittsbure
Traction Company Given as the Cause
for His Action-The City's Financial
Methods Defended.
Mr.. c. L. Magee. whose name appears in
one or two places in the bill, was seen by
representative of this paper at CITY Hall.
When first discovered Mr.. Magee was nego-
tiating with Controller Morrow about a lit
tie matter of bail. That affair being arranged
Mr.. Magee at once proceeded to make his es-
cape. When next seen he inadvertently fell
directly into the company of Mr. A. F.
Keating and The DISPATCH man, who were
talking the matter over just around corner of
the rotunda. AS Mr.. Heating was, by special
request, giving his views OF Mr.. Howard's
latest move, MI. Magee at once became inter-
ested and leaned up against the wall, prepared
to go the gentleman from the Twentieth ward
to a finish.
Mr.. Heating was familiar with the eouitv
proceedings in general way. having been in
formed as to the main points, and was not
averse to giving his opinions of the same He
said he did not believe that the courts had any
power 10 act in the matter. Councils obtained
whatever powers they had concerning the Gus
and that body acted under the Constitution OF
the State in granting these powers. That Coun.
ellis have right to sanction the placing of this
money where they deem best, goes without
saying
The Transactions Perfectly Regular.
Every transaction complained of was regu-
lar and it would DC just as sensible for him to
rush into cour; and ask for the appointment of
persons TO take control OF the affairs of any
qualified and competent business man as trus-
tees as it is for Mr.. Howard to mako his re.
Ques s. "The truth ut the matter is. added
Mr.. Heating. 'the whole thing is the result of
spite and spleen on the part of the Complainant.

GEN. BELKNAP DEAD.
THE Ex-sEcRETARY OF WAR SUDDENLY
PASSES AWAY.

He Suffered From Inflammation of the
His War Record-The Attempt to I'm
peach Him.
WASHINGTON. October 13-Friends of
ex-Secretary of War w. W. BeIknap were
startled this morning to hear of his sudden
death in his room at 1920 New York ave-
nue.. Inflammation of the lining of the
heart was the cause ascertained at the
Coroner's inquest. General Belknap was last
seen alive on Saturday night, when he was on
his way to his rooms, apparently in excellent
health. Mrs. Belknap, who is in New York
the General was noticed 20 be in a despondent
mood, caused, it is rumored, by financial
trouble. The War Department will be closed
on the day of his funeral. 1t will also be draped
in mourning for 30 days.
General William Worth Belknap was born
in Newhurg, n. Y. in September, 1879 He
graduated at Princeton College in l848 and in
1851 he removed to keokuk, Ia, where he prac-
tced law. He served through the war, begin
ming his services as Major of an Iowa regl-
ment and at the close was breyet Major Gen
eral In October. 1865. he was appointed Sec
retary of War. This office he retained during
General Grants second administration until
March, 1876, when, in consequence of charges
OF Official corruption, be resigned.
On March 2, 1876, the country was astonished
to learn that Secretary of War Belknap had
been detected by Congressional COMMITTEES in
the sale of post traderships. He had resigned
the day before. and the President had promptly
accepted his resignation. but he was pursued
by Congress with Impeachment proceedings
escaping conviction at last on the technical
point that the Senate lacked Jurisdiction The
vacant Cabinet Office was rendered to Senator
Lot NJ. Morrill,, of Maine, and declined, and on
March it was accepted by Alphouso Taft of

Members of the Finance Committee Not
Breaking Into Print just Yet.
As a rule the members of the Finance Com
mittee were not prepared to express any views
on Mr.. Howard's attack upon the city's
methods of doing business. Chairman W. A.
Magee had intended to say something for pub
lication, but upon second thought he decided
to maintain silence until the case came up in
court. Mr.. Magee has some rather tart ideas
on this particular subject, but he could not be
induced to unbelt last night, even under the
most careful coaching
Chairman Holiday. of Common Council, said
he would not express himself until after he had
read the bill carefully. After that he will be
prepared to make a statement of his views.
President Ford, of Select Council, was in the
same boat. Hon. A. q. Robertson, Messrs
Paul. Binder and Donahoe, also refused to say
anything for publication.
''Well, what are they going to do with us?'
asked Councilman ]. j. Mcclure of one of the
best known POLITICIANS in P1ttsburg.
why guess the desire is to hang you for
voting for the Duquesne Traction ordinances,
and the Creator only knows what else" This
announcement did not seem to have any very
effect upon Mr.. McGuire's nerve
tor he walked away with broard smile upon
his face and looked quite as contented as if he
had not heard his possible fate. The matter
did not seem to agaitate anyone connected with
the suit for that matter although it was quite
freely discussed about City Hall during the
afternoon.

COUNCILMAN BIGHAM's VIEWS.

He is Satisfied the Local Courts Have no
Jurisdiction in the Equity Proceedings.
Kirk @. BGham. member of Select Council
from the Thirty-second ward, after reading
the bill in equity was prepared to express him.
self quite freely on the merits of the same. So
far as the custody of the city funds was con-
cerned Mr.. BIgham thought there was nothing
irregular in the present method of deposit He
said that the Finance Committee first recon-
mended where the money should he kept, this
recommend being of course subject to the
approval of Councils. He was convinced that
Councils had power TO act in the matter under
acts of the Legislature. and this being the case,
he did not see where the local courts had any
jurisdiction in the matter unless il could be
shown that some frauds had been committed
In a case of this kind the people could always
get proper redress at law.
Mr.. Bigham said he was satisfied that it was
entirely outside the province of the courts to
undertake anything like the naming of a per-
son or persons to manage tine trust as that busi-
ness was already legally prepared for. He also
thought that the courts would decline to inter-
fere in the manner in which the banks used the
funds. They had all given good and sufficient
bonds for the faithful care of the money in
their hands, and that was all that anyone could
do. THESE funds had been placed wi h them
by the City Treasurer. every legal requirement
had been fulfilled and he could not see where
any grounds of complaint existed.

when asked for a further statement said: II
am satisfied that Mr.. Howard Is the representa-
tive, paid or otherwise, of the Pittsburg Trac-
tion Company. Since he broke into the courts
and the newspapers his acts and utterances
show that he has been an obstructionist, trying
to head off the Duquesne 7 action Company in

upon, and everything he has said or done since
was in keeping with this Introductory STEP"
How about his charge that, possessing and
exercising dominant political influence in
Councils and with the Finance Committee, you
and your associates in business are in the
custom of borrowing money from the Freehold,
tional and the First National banks for the
purpose OF carrying on private enterprises IN
which you and other officers of the Freehold
Bank are engaged in. etc.?"
Never Borrowed Without Giving Security.
so far as am concerned will say that do
considerable business with all of these banks,
but whenever obtain any money from them it
is always OH what they consider ample and suf-
ficient security, and as long as they are salts
fed as business men, Mr.. Howard should have
no particular grounds for complaint. For that
matter, presume my financial standing in this
tleman who has the grievance. am satisfied
that the motive for this action is based upon
the gentl eman's connection with the Pittsburg
Traction Company but l am also satisfied it
During further talk the conversation turned
to the subject of the city's letting out funds to
the highest bidder. Both Mr.. Magee ana Mr.
Heating stated that the city had had some
costly experience in this direction, having been
nipped for considerable money by the National
Trust Company and other houses that went by
the board. They were of the opinion that
money safely deposited. even without interest,
where it was amply secured was much more
satisfactory than to have it disposed of as was
done under the old methods.

Penn ana Alexander Macpherson. They are
strength being at the bat. Scott is Philadel-
phian and member of the Belmont Club, of
that city. but has taken up his residence in
Pittsburg. He accompanied the Gentlemen of
Philadelphia to England last year and at the
end of the trip was placed second in the bat
ting averages. besides having the credit of
making the highest individual score (l42 runs)
of the trip. II. Penn used to play with the
Chicago Club. Heis a splendid bat and fair
bowler, and has led the Pittsburgs' averages
for the last few years. A. Macpherson is
known almost wherever cricket is played. He
is sound bat and splendid fielder.
