THE CITY FINANCES.
The First Step Taken in the Appropriation
Ordinance.

The First Step Taken In the Appropriation
Ordinance.
The Finance Committee met yesterday
afternoon, and as Controller Morrow was
busily engaged in signing warrants at the
rate of about 30 to the minute all day long,
City Clerk Sheppard acted as clerk of the
committee.
A subcommittee, consisting of Messrs.
Heating. Carnahan, Paul, Holiday, and
q. P. Ford was appointed to take charge of
the appropriation ordinance.
Tie claim OF j. j. Campbell for $500
damages for the death OF a horse which
stuck in the mud on Penn avenue, near
Dallas avenue, and was injured so badly
that it had to be killed was presented. Mr..
Carnshan opposed the payment of the claim
on the ground that Penn avenue, at that
point is now undergoing repairs. A new
sewer is being put in, and the street has
been closed to travel; therefore Mr.. Camp
bell had no business there with his horse.
The matter was referred to the City Attor-
ney.
An ordinance increasing the salary of the
clerk to the City Property Bureau, who also
acts as clerk OF the markets IRON 8, 200 to
1900 was afirmatively recommended to
Councils.

European Brain. U,IIIzed BY American In

| genuity.
The Henry G. Allen Co., of II Seventh
st., Plttsburg, Pa, have, by the gelatine pro
| cess, produced truly a literary marvel-the
Encyclopedia Britannica, ninth edition.
In the reproduction of this, the king oil
| encyclopedias, the entire texts, maps, plates
! and illustrations are copied with absolute
exactness, retaining all the beauty of the
parent work.
The process by which this is being done,
like many inventions of this kind, is ex-
tremely simple and yet requires such deli
cacy1 in handling that it has taken years OF
careful experimenting to bring it to its pres
ent state of perfection.
Gelatine, when prepared by this secret
process, has the property of becoming al
most as hard as metal when exposed to the
sunlight and remaining soft and soluble
when kept in the dark. When in a liquid
state it is run out into thin sheets about
type high"
A copy of the latest English edition of
encyclopedias is cut up and carried to the
photographers room in the engraving es-
tablishment. The pages are put in front of
large cameras and photographed. The re-
suit is black and white negative, densely
black and absolutely translucent, making q
facsimile of the type pages. In the mega
tive the black part of the page-that is. the
paper-is densely black.
These negatives are next placed in frames
over the sheets of gelatine aud exposed to
the sunlight. Where the sun shines through
the negative the gelatine becomes almost as
hard as metal; where the black part of the
NEGATIVE protects the gelatine it remains soft
and soluble.
The gelatine sheet thus 'printed" is taken
into dark room and washed with brush
and ordinary water. The soluble portion
disappears leaving the hardened part-that
is, the type-standing up in bold reliet. 1t
is practically exactly like page of type set
up and ready for the press.
The same number of volumes, "a, COM
pletes this, as does the original, and is sold
at one-half the price, 50 30 per volume. of
Scribner or Stoddard edition, and are all
printed from the same original English
adition

THEY GOT IN,

Ncwsboys Reached the Matinee Mt Harris
by the Fire Escape.
Two newsboys yesterday afternoon at
tracted the attention of large crowd OF
people by their efforts to effect surreptitious
entrance to Harris Theater. The lads
climbed up a water-pipe to the lower end OF
the fire escape ladder. Up that they went
to the second floor window, which they 1ried
to open. They were unable to do so, and
assembled to the next story. Just as they
reached the window there, they evidently
heari noise inside which frightened them,
and they scurried down again as rapidly as
possible. For awhile they listened, then
reascended, got the window open and
climbed inside, while the spectators on the
street laughed heartily.

Canadian workInRmeu Here.

Several Canadian workmen arrived in
this city yesterday from Cleveland. They
are looking for employment. William j.
Pierson. one Of the party, states that many
of his fellow-countrymen are hocking to this
country to take advantage of the better op-
portunities offered for wages and work. The
people on the other side of the line are very
anxious for annexation, and if the matter
was put to popular vote, it would be car
ried by large majority.

The courts are likely to have some cases
of child-whipping by school teachers to ad-
judicate. Mrs. Kemp, principal of the Hill
district school of the Second ward, ALLIE
gheny, whipped 1O-year-old daughter OF
Charles Smith, and Mr.. Smith says he told
Mrs. Kemp she was not to do it, as the girl
had heart disease and rheumatism. Mr..
Smith contended that the whipping was
unduly severe, and ended by slapping Mrs.
Kemp in the face. 1t is supposed the result
will be cross-suits fer assault and battery.
1t is said Mrs. Kemp is already de-
fendant in a suit charged with unduly
chastising a 7-year-oId son of James
Stewart, City Water Assessor of Allegheny.

Lake Erie Officials.

Lake Erie Officials.
The officers of the Pittsburg and Lake
Erie Railroad inspected the new purchase,
the McKeesport and Bellevernon Railroad,
yesterday. They were accompanied by some
of the officers OF the Lake Shore and Michi-
gan Southern and the Lake Erie and West
ern, the Pittsburg and Lake Erie western
connections. The Lake Erie officers were
the superintendent, master OF transportation,
train dispatcher, station master and minor
officers. The chief object was to see the
agents along the line, and arrange the new
system of freight and passenger rates neces-
STATED by the consolidation. An object
was to investigate the sdvisability of build
ing the road on up the east side of the
Monongahela river to Morgantown, to con-
meet with West Virginia road being con-
structed from Fairmont, on the Baltimore
and Ohio. Such an extension would be of
great Importance to Pittsburg, opening up
the timber and mineral lands of West
Virginia.

in Southside tunnel last week. died yester-

engine or car, as the only wounds about
him are on his head, and they are of kind
that look as if made by u sharp instrument.
