Mr.. WlTHERoW RETIRES.

A Temporary Settlement Reached in the
Duquesne Muddle-The Trouble to be
Submitted to Arbitration-A New House
Talked OF.
Two large red lines drawn across yester-
days page of the Duquesne register shows
where the old management ceased ana the
new one commenced. William Witherow
stepped down and out yesterday afternoon
and Charley Miller was installed.
A temporary settlement was reached at
meeting of the attorneys and the partners IN
terested. William Witherow insisted that
Mr.. Perdu. the bookkeeper, should run the
house until conclusion was reached, OUT
j. p. Witherow and Thomas Deegan would
have Mr.. Miller or no other Finally 1t was
agreed to submit the difficulty to oarbitration,
and az agreement was signed to keep the
present force of clerks and employees in their
places. j. P. Witherow wanted nobody
discharged. The old books were locked up
and a new set opened at once. Detective
GIlkenson left his perch behind the counter
and the hotel was under the new manage
ment.
Before going home William Witherow
told the clerks that he wanted them to re-
main at their posts. He said his partners
would either have to buy out his interest,
or he would purchase their shares. In any
case, he saws, he is not out OF the hotel
business, and not if in the Duquesne, he will
build another house. Mr.. Witherow has
any number of friends who have expressed
willingness to back him financially, and
as Pittsburg needs another hotel, this
may be the city's opportunity. Mr..
Witherow shook hands with the new man
ager, and wished him all the success possible
in his unrl Another mpet;np will be held
tomorrow, when it is expected some con-
clusion will be reached.
Charley Miller, the new boss, is very
popular hotel man. He had no desire to
mix up in rhe tangIe, and he regretted the
unpleasant position in which he was placed
So far as Charley is concerned his relations
with all the partners are the most pleasant,
and everybody is happy over the present
solution of the problem,

GOING IN GREAT STYLE.

The Randall Club Making Preparations to
Attend Governor Pattison's Inaugural
tion-Two Hundred Members Expected
to Take Part in the Proceedings.
An adjourn meeting of the Randall
Club was held at the elegant new quarters
on Duquesne way last night. The main
business was to perfect arrangements for the
trip to Harrisburg to attend the inaugura-
tion Of Governor-elect Pattison.
The attendance was large and the interest
manifested was great. From reports re-
ceived up to date, it is probable that about
200 men will lie in line. The members will
wear pearl-white caps, black macintosh
coats, with capes and black leggings. They
will be accompanied by the Great Western
Band, leaving the city January is.
The proceeds of the late entertainment at
Old City Hall, some 500, will be an i'm
portant factor in paving off such bills as
that of the band. .'.
The club is in much better condition at
present than at any time since it was organ
lied. The membership now numbers 466,
and 16 candidates are slated for admission
at the next meeting. This will make the
total 49, and the officials say the 900 limit
will be passed before spring. Cor
slant Improvements are being made
in the commodious building, making
it by far the finest headquarters
of the kind in this part of the State. The
parlor has been greatly beautifed by the
addition of furniture, paintings, pictures,
new and elegant chandeliers, etc. Among
the attractive pictures are those OF Governor
Campbell, of Ohio, and Governor-Elect
Pattison. A well-known business man of
the city also recently presented the club
with a painting representing an old-time
campaign scene in Pittsburg. Its value is
placed at $500. and it vividly recalls other
days to the older members and guests.

what lies under Pittsburg as we are with ats

The gasser was the only topic OF conversa-
tion all over the city, yesterday. Of course,
absurd reports about the enormous pressure
were laughed at, but the fact that gas had
been struck at the Exposition created gen.
eral interest. All are hopeful that great
flow will be discovered when the fifth sand
is penetrated deeper, and number OF peo-
pie talked OF sinking wells.
Views of Public Officials.
Mayor Gourley is in favor OF the city sink
ing a number of wells, if this one proves
successful Superintendent Pattison salG
he believed tire present pressure was su m
cient to justify anyone in sinking well,
and be could see no reason why the Govern
ment should not drill one at the great granite
pile on Smithfeld street.
There seemed TO be q general feel
ing that Plttsburg herself would
remedy the great scarcity OF the precious
natural fuel which now exists. The estab-
liShment of the fact that the nth sand is
under all Pittsburg was regarded as dis
covery that takes precedence away beyond
the mere flow of gas at the Point. As soon
as possible it is expected that wells vii! be
drilled all over Pittsburg, and all the wells
in the citv that have been abandoned as
busters will now be deepened far enough to
penetrate this stratum of sand, which bids
fair to give a new lease of life to the fuel
which has added so much to Pittsburg' s
rroSnerifr

A TEMPTING OFFER.

A Southside Physician rendered the Dean
ship of the New Orleans Medical Col
lege = The Leading Institution of the
South-An Open Offer.
Dr. C. c. Hersman, OF the Southside, has
had tempting offer made to him, and while
ne has not given IL definite answer in regard
to it, he may accept. The deanship of the
New Orleans Medical College. the leading
institution Of the kind in the South, has
been rendered to him. The college COM
bincs law. medicine and theology. The
offer made to DR.. Hersman, of course, is for
the medical department.
The doctor has keen located on the South
side about three years. having previously
resided iu West Virginia, where he was as
sistaut superintendent of the insane depart
ment OF the West Virginia Hospital. He is
a direct descendant Of the Stonewall Jack
son family, and was born and raised near the
old homestead in West Virginia.
Since coming to Pittsburg, DR.. Hersman
has gained considerable prominence and oc-
cupies number of enviable positions, and
has filed all SO creditably that, in case he
accepts the new offer, his many friends will
be sorry to see him leave. He is Secretary
of the Southside Medical Society, he has
charge of the insane department of the st.
Franciscus Hospital, a member of the
faculty in the Western Pennsylvania Medi-
cal College and on the staff of the South
side Hospital.
A representative of the New Orleans in
stitution called upon the doctor during the
past week and laid the offer before him, ex-
planning at the same time the desires and
plans of the officials. After talking over
the matter some time, DR.. Hersman asked
for time to consider the offer, and he was
given until the first of October, 1891. He
can take charge at any time, but the place
will remain open until that time.

STANLEY WILL SHAKE HANDS

At the Close of His Lecture, To-Morrow
Evening, at Old City Hall.
All efforts to convince Mr. Stanley that a
reception to him and his amiaole lady in
this city would be eminently the proper
thing have failed, and, as a consequence,
the only opportunity to see the great e1-
plorer will be at Old City Hall. He de-
clared that his duties as lecturer tax him
too much to admit of anything but a hand
shaking after the close of his lecture.
Numerous invitations have been rendered
Mrs. Stanley to attend small private recep-
tions, and one of them will doubtless be ac-
cepted. The party will arrive in the city
this morning in the special car over the
Pennsylvania Railroad. Mr. Stanley
leaves Tuesday morning for Columbus, his
next stopping place.
