DREW THE LINE ON A BABY.
A nsylvania Conductor Wonldn't Take a
LiuIe Child Unaccompanied.

Pennsylvania Conductor Wouldn't Take a
LitIIe Child Unnccompanied.
Many are the stories told of young chill
dren who have been carried miles by rail-
roads, and reached their destinations safely,
with nothing but large tag on their breasts
to guide the conductors, but last night the
PENNSYLVANIA road drew the line on a 2H-
year-old baby that was to have been sent to
New York unaccompanied. The little one
was bright child, just able to walk, nicely
dressed. and carried in her chubby hands a
red doll. The ticket agent sold half
ticket for it on condition that the conductor
would accept the charge, but he refused.
Quite crowd gathered around the baby
while the people were tying a big tag
around its neck. Considerable indigna-
tion was expressed that anyone should even
think of sending child OF such tender
years to New York alone, and the refusal of
Conductor Hawkins to take it was ap-
plauded
The facts are these: When Mrs. Clarke,
the wife of the chief cornetist in lines
band, left New York few weeks ago she
was accompanied to the depot by the parents
of the baby. The little one was with them.
They got on the train when it started, and
IN their haste to get off the baby was left
with Mrs. Clarke, in very good hands, who
brought it to Pittsburg. The father Of the
baby directed that it be sent back alone,
trusting to the watchfulness of the conduc-
tors, but the result was quite different
Unless Superintendent Pitcairn issues an
order TO that effect someone will have to take
the hahv hou,a

IN HONOR OF MIR. sToNER.
His Lawyer Friends Give Him a Banquet
Before He Goes West.

His Lawyer Friends Give Him a Banquet
Before He Goes West.
About go representative lawyers, members
of the Bar Association and non-members,
attended a banquet at the Monongahela
House last evening given in honor of j. M.
Stoner, who intends to leave shortly for
California, where he will locate on account
of i'll health. S. 4. McClung presided, and
the attorneys enjoyed the social features of
the occasion. Of the Judges, Ewing. Stowe,
Over and Slagle were there.
Mr.. McClung, in neat sphech, stated
the object of the feast, and regretted that
Mr.. Stoner was going to leave. Mr.. Stoner
made clever reply. He stated that the re-
wards of lawyer were not as great as the
profits of business men, who don't e1pend
any more energy, but there were other
pleasures that compensated the attorney for
his hard work. Judge Ewing, Major More
head and others talked. There were cries for
various lawyers, as it seemed to suit
the fancy of the listeners. Judge
Ewing INDUCED in some personal recollec-
tions of Mr.. Stoner, while Mr.. Moreland
argued that the attorneys missed great
deal by failing to have more social ban
quets; that working in antagonistic fields
LAWYERS often failed to note many good
qualities of head and heart in their oppo-
nents, and that they really didn't t know each
other as they should. A number of other
impromptu speeches were made.

OPENING UP HEADQUARTERS.
The Independent Republican OrRanizat tion
Ready for Business.

The Independent Republican Organization
Rcndy for Business.
The Executive Committee of the Allie
gheny County Independent Republican
Organization yesterday secured rooms in the
Bissell block, corner of Seventh avenue and
Smithfeld street, and headquarters will be
opened there at 10 o'clock this morning. The
general headquarters room is on the second
floor, room No 2O4. 1t will be open from 9
A. M. until 10 P. M. every day, except Sun
days, until after election day. The commit
tee discussed the subject of public meetings,
and, while Chairman Ayres, of the Meetings
and Speakers Committee, has not fully pre-
pared his plans, it is safe to say that large
number of meetings will be held throughout
the county. Some of the most prominent
leaders OF the Independent movement in the
State are likely to be heard in Allegheny
county. The work of the committee will
not be confined to holding meetings, but it
is stated that printed matter bearing on the
issues OF the campaign will be distributed in
every election district.
Chairman Blair invites all Republicans
who are in sympathy with the movement to
call at the headquarters.

likely not exist this session. There was q
Misunderstanding among some of the Phila-
delphia people, but think they understand
the question now. Then some of the rural
representatives will likely be in favor of che
bill, as many of these agricultural associa-
tions are big losers by the enforcement OF
the present law"
Adam Fuchs, well-kuown butcher In
the market, and also a fancier OF horses,
said he wss strongly in favor of the proposed
measure, and he knew hundreds OF men IN
his lire of business who held the same
views. he said he was satisfied the ques-
tion would be brought up this winter, and
that strong effort would be made to pass a
bill.
Frank Heroic, the pool seller, said he
favored bill something like the Ives DILL
in New York. This confined the business
to race tracks and 8 per cent of the pool
sellers percentage went to the agricultural
association of the State. He said that pool
sellers were not anxious to bring the ousi-
ness into cities. They were perfectly will
ing to forego this privilege, though 1t was
allowed in a great many States In the
Union. He had heard that the question
was to be revived this winter, but could not
say anything definite on this score.
ALL BY HERSELF.
John E. Madden, well-known turfman
and breeder of Lexington, KY, said that
Pittsburg, with her rigid laws, was the talk
of the country. He had travelled all over
the land, and this was the only big city in
the United States that he knew of where
pools could not be sold on the track. He
believed that racing once or twice year
furnished very healthy pastime for the
people, while good meeting always brought
thousands of dollars into the legitimate
channels OF trade.
A gentleman who would not permit the
use of his name, said he understood that the
breeders and agricultural associations OF the
State would pool their issues this winter
and see to it that they received legislation
that would protect them. They could mus
ter up very strong following, he said, and
could not afford to be overlooked.
The officials of Homewood Park were not
anxious about expressing any views just at
present. That they will give two or three
meetings next year is already assured. The
present meeting would have been remark
ably successful one had it not been for the
rain, and this is sufficient encouragement to
try it again. That they would like to enjoy
the right of selling pools on the grounds
goes without saying. The question is alive
once more, and the outcome will be watched
with interest by thousands of people.

EXPOSITION PEOPLE LEAVE,
And Call Mt Kleber Bros.

After viewing the splendid sights at the
Exposition most of the visitors (who mean
business) call at II. Kleber & Bros, SOC
Wood street, and select one of their supe-
rior pianos and organs. They know in their
hearts that to make fine show is one thing
and to give people the very finest instru-
ments at the price of the common, second
class goods is quite another thing. The
Messrs, Kleber & Bro. enjoy the fullest con-
fdence of the public, and whether they ex-
hibit or not, whether they hold forth on the
principal business street OF Pittsburg, Wood
street, or in Diamond or Virgin alley, the
public will seek them out and congratulate
themselves that they have found out the
place which is utterly safe and reliable, and
above the sharp tricks of new houses which
have come in at the eleventh hour, and
which have to rely upon the credulity of the
public to,get rid of their goods-using clubs
and other knock-down arguments to bull
doze their callers into buying their inferior
wares-articles which the Kleber Bros. had
long since rejected as unworthy of being as
sociated with their honorable record and
name. Such pianos as Steinway's, Como
ver's, Opera, Gabler, Emerson, and organs
such as the great Vocalions. Earhuff dust
proof and Burdett, cannot be duplicated in
this country. Klebers give an eight-year
warrantee and sell on easy time payments.

THE RIVAL ROADS.

| Mr.. Howard Returns 10 the Criticism of the
Duque.ue-Points In Answer to His OBJ.
jections.
Mr.. William j. Howard, owner of the
Howard block, Smithfeld street, who has
been one of the most active opponents of the
widening of Diamond street, writes a
lengthy communication to an evening CO.
temporary, reciting the inner history of the
organization of the Pittsburg Traction Com
pany and throwing several buckets of cold
water upon it's new rival, the Duquesne
Traction. Mr.. Howard says that Messrs.
Magee, Finn, Whitney & Stephens,
Rhodes ard McCandless realized total
profit o. 1854, ,9S2 in the building of the
Pittsburg Traction line. He complains at
some length against the widening of Dla-
mond street and Cecil alley, which he claims
is contemplated for the benefit of the
Duquesne line. In his communica-
tion he urges that it would be wise
policy for the directors of the Duquesne to
give up that part of the programme and
confne their operations to the building of
the road. The letter. which is quite spe-
cifc in its figures. seems to show an inti-
mate knowledge of the arrangements by
which the Pittsburg Traction line was built.
1t reads like one of the first open hostllities
between the hackers of rival passenger rail-
ways.
One of the Duquesne directors was seen in
reference to Mr.. Howard's letter. He said
Mr.. Howard's points were irrelevant, as the
question before the public was one of compe-
tition and increased facilities for travel;
The Duquesne is now built and an accom-
plished TACT. 1t opens up new territory and
will give new facilities where they were
needed. AS for the widening of Diamond
street, Mr.. Howard was IN error in supposing
that the parties moving in it were the
Duquesne people: 1t was urged by owners
of property on the street, who saw in the
widening that the property would be greatly
benefited, and that the public facilities for
business would be largely increased by hav-
ing wide street in place of an alley. The
cost of the widening was not a tax on the
public treasury. but was to be borne by the
property on the street which was asking for
it. Mr.. Howard was one of the few except
ants, as he had already Smithfeld street
front for his lot, which, of course, the bulk
of the property did not have. As the case
stands, it is further stated, that the Du-
quesne line is not coming by way of
Diamond street anyhow at present, but will
probably make arrangements with the
Central Traction line to use Sixth avenue
and Fourth avenue.
In relation to Mr.. Howard's constitutional
objections to the financial organization of
the D1quesne line, it was answered that the
same objections, if there was anything in
them, would apply as much to the organiza-
tion of the PIttsburg Traction, but that the
Duquesne people were not worrying about
these criticisms, as their stock is not on the
market

Three Men Arrested for Completely In the
Allegheny Train Robbery.

Three Men Arrested for Completely In the
Allegheny Train Robbery.
William Weimer, alias Mouse" Weimer,
alias William Roberts, Harry Montague
and "Cockey" Bennett. arrested yesterday
by the Allegheny police on suspicion of
being implicated in the robbery OF j. z.
Gardner on Ft. Wayne train. on Thursday
night, are still in the Allegheny lookup.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Gardner was at the
Allegheny Mayors Office, and was taken
down to see the three prisoners in order to
discover if he could identify any of them.
Previous to going down stairs Chief
Murphy warned Mr.. Gardner, in case he
identified any of the prisoners, not to say
word.
This course was adopted by the Chief for
the reason that he desires the newsboy who
was on the train at the time to see the
prisoners and try to identify the man who
committed the theft, the Chief thinking that
the boys mind might be influenced by what
Mr.. Gardner might say. Chief Murphy is
positive that Mr.. Gan ldner has identified
one of the men, but he can't say which one.

KICKING ON BURKE.

Why the Report of the Scotch.Irish Con.
vention Has Not Been Issued.
Secretary Floyd, OF the Scotch-Irish As
sociation, came here yesterday to see about
the delay in getting the report of the pro-
ceeding of the convention held in Pittsburg
last May. 1t was to have been issued
August /. Colonel Echols said James F.
Burke was employed and paid to take some
OF the speeches in short hand. He did, but
so far has failed to trauscribe bis work, thus
delaying the report. He paid no attention
to Colonel iFloyd's letters, and Colonel
Echols could never find him when he
looked for him.
Mr.. Burke claims he had finished about
three-fourths of his job, but all the money
was not forthcoming and he laid down on it.

A LITTLE FAMILY FIGHT.
A Father Charges His Daughter With Steal
ing His Furniture.

John Kempen yesterday made an informa-
ton before Alderman Kerr against his
daughter, Johanna. aged 16 years, charging
her with larceny. Johanna was arrested,
and gave bail for hearing to-day. Kempen
asserts that she stole two feather beds. some
iewelrv and some shawls from his residence,
on Miflin street, last July, and took them
to her relatives in Allegheny.
Johanna claims that the goods are hers,
and she had right to take them. She says
they belonged to her mother in the first
place, and when she died, about three
months ago, the goods were willed to her.
which she can prove. Miss Kempen is now
living with a family on the Southside.

Objections Raised TO the Unsighfly Appear
ance of the Fifth Avenue Market.


ance of the Fifth Avenue Market.
Property holders in the neighborhood Of
the Fifth avenue market house are COM
planning of the unsightly appearance Of
that building. Some time since they began
an agitation to have the property sold by
the city, hoping that good stores would De
built on the sight, and thus improve the
nelghborhood. Just as the agitation was
becoming effective the market house was
leased for 90 years to the Eighteenth Regi-
ment and Battery B. These organizations
intend to remodel the building Tor armory
purposes, but will hardly commence the
work until spring.
Controller Morrow said yesterday that
the building In its present condition was
hindranee to the growth of the neighbor-
hood, but that the city had now no juris-
diction in the matter. He did not know
whether the armory plans contemplated the
erection OF stores, but he thought not.
