TRYING TO SAVE HIM.
Murderer Alex Killian's Attorney
Applies for a New Trial.
CHIEF BIGELOW'S POWER TESTED.
A Turnpike Company Objects to Condemna-
tion Proceedings.
ALL THE NEWS OF THE COUNTY COURTS

Judge Magee, yesterday. heard the argu-
ments on motion for new trial in the
case of Alex. Killian, convicted of murder
In the first degree for the killing of Mrs.
Rudert at Tarentum. Thomas M. Marshall,
Esq, appeared for Killian and District At
torney Johnston opposed the motion.
Mr.. Marshall asked for a new trial,
claiming that ths evidence was not sufficient
for a conviction. He also excepted to the
ruling OF Judge Magee on two oil his points
submitted during the trial. One point was
that it was better that SO guilty men should
escape than one innocent man suffer. Judge
Magee said that as the point involved both
proposition and an argument, he declined
to affirm it, and the jury could dispose Of the
question. The second point was in relation
to finite probabilities" which Judge
Magee refused, stating that he did not clearly
understand what was meant by hnlte
probabilities. Mr.. Marshall said further,
that as to the law applied to the case by
Judge Magee, it was good and he could not
find fault with it. He mainly rested his
case on the assertion that Killian had
proved an alib.
District Attorney Johnston followed and
reviewed the testimony taken in the case.
By means of it he traced Killian's move
ments on the night of the murder and
argued that he was plainly principal
mover 10 the crime, and the verdict finding
him guilty was just one and substantiated
by the evidence. Nc alibi had been proven
and he asked the court to refuse the motion.
Judge Magee reserved his decision. In
case new trial is refused Killian will be
sentenced to death Saturday.

DINNER AT THE HOTELS.
Pittsburg Houses Will Take Good Care of

Pittsburg Houses Will Take Good Care of
Guests To-Day.
The hotels of Plttsburg furnish square
meals every day, but on Thanksgiving they
always make special effort to serve up the
most toothsome dainties to their. guests.
To-day will be no exception, and the man
who will kick against the dinners in any of
the hotels this afternoon is hopeless case
and beyond redemption.
The Anderson leads off with handsome
menu which is something unique in its way,
but, then, Proprietor Ed L. Bean
is nothing, if not original. The
anniversary and the name of the hotel
are embossed on the parchment cover in old
gold, which is further ornamented with a
chain of pretty ribbon running diagonally
across the page and ending in a cunning
bow. The menu card inside speaks for
itself, and many of the dishes cannot be dis
counted.
The Monongahela, st. Charles, Seventh
Avenue and Central Hotels will have
special dinner with attractive menu cards,
but these houses last evening had not re-
ceived them from the printers. The mem
bers of engine company No. and truck A
will be entertained at dinner at the Seventh
Avenue, in accordance with the long-es-
tablished custom of this house. The Du-
uuesne and Schlosser will have their regu.
lar bill of fare to offer to their patrons,

UNIFORM SWITCHING RATES.
Local Agents Fix Up New Tariff to Go Into
Effect January 1.

Local Agents Fix Up New Tariff to Go Into
Effect January L.
The Pittsburg committee of freight agents
met yesterday and decided to make uniform
rates tor switching in Pittsburg and vicin-
ity. The new rates will go into effect jan
uary 1. The agents are not prepared to fur
nish the figures at present, but in some in
stances the rates will be advanced, in others
reduced. The rates for switching in the
local yards of all the roads are much lower
than along the line. Here they keep their
yard engines and crews, and are ready to
switch cars at short notice and little ex-
pense. Out on the road if car is side
tracked il must be picked up by the regular
trains.
1t was reported some days ago that the
Baltimore and Ohio road intended to ad-
vance its switching rates. but Division
Passenger Agent Galleher denies it. The
switching, he says, is done for the accommo-
dation OF the shippers, and the roads do not
aim to make money out of this part OF the
business. There is considerable switching
done in and around Pittsburg, and the new
rates are looked for with interest. The
rates will apply on the Ft. Wayne to Jacks
Run, on the Pennsylvania TO Dallas station,
on the Baltimore and Ohio to Rankin, on
the Panhandle to Sheridan. and between
Rankin and CHARTERS on the Lake Erie.

Their Presence Lends a Picturesque Element
to Hollands Landscape.
You scarcely can stand anywhere in Hol-
land without seeing from one to twenty wind
mills. Many of them are built in the form
of two-story tower, the second story being
smaller than the first, with balcony at its
base, from which it tapers upward until the
cap-like top is reached. High up, near the
roof, the great axis juts from the wall, and
to this are fastened two prodigious arms,
formed somewhat like ladders, bearing
great sheets of canvas, whose business Is to
catch the mischiel-maker and set him at
work.
These mills stand like huge giants guard
ing the country. Their bodies are generally
of dark red; and their heads, or roofs, are
made to turn this way and that, according
to the direction of the wind. Their round
eye-window is always staring. Altogether,
they seem to be keeping vigilant watch in
every direction. Sometimes they stand
clustered together; sometimes alone, like
silent sentinels; sometimes in long rows
like ranks of soldiers.
You see them rising from the midst OF
factory buildings, by the cottages, on the
polders (the polders are lakes pumped dry
and turned into farms); on the wharves; by
the rivers; along the canals; on the dykes;
in the cities-everywhere! Holland wouldn't
be Holland without its windmills, any more
than it could be Holland without its Dykes
and its Dutchmen.

CASE FOR A SOLOMON.
TWO WOMEN CLAIM POSSESSION OF A
I0-YEAR-OLD CHILD.

The Boy Twice Abducted, First by His Nat
ural Mother and Next by an Adopted
Parent-The Trouble Brought Into
New York Court.
NEW YORK, November 26.-Five years
ago Mrs. Maguire's husband died, leaving
her in poverty, with five children to care for
She had a wealthy sister living at Norfolk,
Va, and brother, 2. II. Hart, residing in
Brooklyn in comfortable circumstances.
Neither Mrs. Smith nor Mrs. Hart has
any children and each adopted one of
Mrs. Maguire's little ones on the written
condition that the mother surrendered all
claim to the children. Mrs. Hart took John
and changed his name from Mcclure to
Hart, while Mrs. Smith adopted Homer and
gave him her family name. After awhile
the memory of the lads mother faded from
their minds and they were happy under
their new conditions.
Six weeks ago Mr.. Smith came to Brook
lyn on six weeks visit to her brother and
brought Homer with her. Mrs. Mcguire
came to see her child, and, though betraying
mucn emotion, left the house seemingly sat-
isfed with the order of things. Next day
as Homer was leaving school for lunch
MTs. Magulre, WHO Hdu ueeu lying III wall,
seized him and carried him off. Mrs Smith
reported at the station and Detective Hardy
was sent to investigate.
Mrs. Smith visited Mrs. Mcguire the next
dav and said: "Well, Ella, 1 suppose it is
natural you should like to have your own
flesh and blood with you. L know you
have Homer concealed somewhere; let us be
friends, and say no more about it,
"Mrs. Mcguire was thrown little off her
guard, and Mrs. Smith took lodgings in the
neighborhood. She waited patiently and
watched, and on the third day of her vigil,
which was Monday last, saw Homer on the
street, carried him into carriage she had
engaged, took him to No. SO Snediker ave-
nue., bundled him up, and that same night
she started for Norfolk, Va,

Gets 60 Days in Jail.
CHICAGO, November 26.-Peter Mueller,
an old man, said to be worth $3.50, ,OOO was
yesterday sent to the bridewell for go days
for begging on the streets. For many years
Mueller and his wife lived in q miserable
hovel. They denied themselves everything
except what was absolutely necessary to
keep them alive. Many stories were told
by the neighbors of their reputed wealth.
Mueller for several years past has made
practice of begging on the streets. and
about year ago was locked up one night.
Next morning the justice, moved to COM
passion by the old mans pitiful tale. dis
charged him from custody. When Mueller
returned TO his miserable home he found the
dead body of his wife hanging to rafter.
1t rs supposed she had worried so over her
husbands absence that she had taken her
own life. Since then Mueller has lived all
alone in the shanty. Mueller owns $40
acres of land in sections 81 and Sc, and is
possessed of stocks and bonds worth several
hundred thousand dollars.

2HEY WILL LAY THE PIPE.
THE PHILADELPHIA COMPANY DEFEATS
THE CITY.


A Claim That Their Charter is Superior to
an Ordinance is Practically Sustained
Judge Ewing Grants an Injunction
Upon the Public Works Department.
A bill in equity was filed yesterday BY
the Philadelphia Company against the city
of Pittsburg, E. NJ Bigelow and John f.
Hunter, to restrain them from interfering
with the companys laying pipes. 1t was
stated that owing to the increased demand
for gas and the decreased pressure of gas
In the company's gas territory it was found
necessary to lay new and larger pipe from
the Penn avenue main along Barker's
alley to Liberty avenue and to Virgin
alley. While they claimed the consent of
E. M. Bigelow to their opening the streets
to lay the pipes was not necessary, yet,
through courtesy, and to give the city an op-
portunity to see that the work was in accord
ance with the regulations, they asked him
for permit. 1t was arbitrarily refused, and
no reason assigned. They then, on Novem-
Der %. 2.commenced work, but Street Commits
sioner Hunter had their workmen arrested.
Under their charter, and the city ordinance
authorizing them to open streets, they assert
ted, they have a right to go ahead with their
work and furnish their customers with gas.
An injunction was asked for to restrain the
city and its officials from interfering with
them.
At the hearing in the case, City Attorney
Moreland appeared for the defendants. He
stated that the reason for Mr.. Bigelow's s
refusal to grant a permit was that city
ordinance provides that streets shall not be
opened after November 15, on account of
hard weather.
After some discussion of the matter Judge
Ewing granted a preliminary injunction
with the provision that the company are TO
have their pipes laid and the streets restored
to their original condition within one week
from the date of the order. or else the
injunction would have no force.

PROGRESS OF PHOTOGRAPHY.
Its Recent Advancement and It's Increased
Scientific Value.


Scientific Value.
From a practical standpoint alone pho
Biography does not rank highly compared
with other inventions and Improvements of
this prolific period, the past five decades.
The telephone, telegraph, photograph and
other inventions have far greater value
from an economic view, but scientifically
photography stands foremost. For five
years new ideas, methods and improve
ments have been constantly introduced, and
it is safe to say that as much progress has
been made during this time as has been DUR
ing the As preceding years, since Daguerra
produced the first daguerotype. The ANA
teur Is entitled to most of the credit of this,
for he has not only produced many Of
the results directly, but his presence has
served as an impetus to the professional.
The flash light is one of the most recent and
important improvements to photography.
Mr.. w. /. Lincoln Adams has an interest
ing article on "Flash-light Photography" in
the December Outing. Mr.. Adams says in
the opening of his article: tFlash-light
photography, as it is popularity called, is
actually less than five years old, but n
that short time it has had truly wonderful
growth. Five years ago the popular fash
picture was an impossibility, now 1t is one
of the eommonest OF Photographs. The anna
teur is no longer dependent upon sunlight
alone for his instantaneous shots with the

of the earth where the suns rays never PEN

OBJECT TO CONDEMNATION.
Strong Claims Made by the New Brighton
Turnpike Company.

Strong Claims Made by the New Brighton
Turnpike Company.
A petition was filed in the Quarter Ses-
sions Court yesterday objecting to the ap-
pointing of Board of Viewers to appraise
the property of the Allegheny and New
Brighton Turnpike Company within the
limits of Allegheny City for condemnation.
The appointment was asked for by the City
Solicitor of Allegheny.
In the petition it is claimed that the COM
pauy was chartered in 1854, under special
act of Assembly, and built the road and
maintained it SO long for public use that it
has virtually completed contract with the
State and cannot be deprived of its prop
erty on any pretext The city, it is asserted,
cannot exercise the right of eminent domain
and take the property. 1t is also claimed
that the city lost what right of eminent do
main it might have mad by reason of refus-
ing to purchase the road when it was ap-
praised in 1873 and S11, 600 fixed as the
value. 1t is further asserted that the pro-
ceedings are not for the public benefit, but
are in the interest of the Pleasant Valley
Electric Railway Company, and the action
of Councils was procured by intrigue and
the corrupt influence of certain of its men,
hers, who are stockholders of the Pleasant
Valley Company. In conclusion, the COURT
is asked to refuse to appoint the viewers.
