SIMPSONS DESERTION.
He is Said to Have Gone to
Seattle.


J. H. Simpson, OF the firm OF Simpson
& Sutherland, merchant tailors in the
Los Angeles theater building, it is
stated, has left this city under a cloud.
1t is stated, and also denied, that he is
wanted for perjury and desertion from
both the United States and English
armies. Simpson, who has been resi-
dent of this city for the past five years,
made his first business venture as mer-
chant tailor on North Main street, the
firm being styled Simpson q McInnis.
The two men soon built up an extensive
trade, but their Partnership recently
dissolved by mutual consent. His quiet
and gentlemanly demeanor won for him
large number of friends, and he and
his wife, who conducted a private board
ing house in East Los Angeles, were held
in high esteem by all who knew them
A few weeks ago, it is alleged, the
authorities received notification from
some person who had known him when
he was in the army and who knew of
his desertion, that he was in this city,
and the necessary papers for his arrest
were made out; but in the meantime
it is said Simpson got wind of the
preparations which were being made for
his arrest and left, presumably for
Seattle. He was born in Boston, and it
is alleged at the age of 27 years enlisted
with Captain Spaulding for five years,
at New Jersey, May %, 1882, swearing
that he was single man. On October
4, 1882, after serving not six months
with the third cavalry, he is alleged to
have deserted from Fort Apache. His
partner, E. M. Sutherland, states his
willingness to meet all claims against
Simpson which may be presented, as it
has been rumored that the fugitive left

1t is a common error to suppose every dis
ease which is attended by. oppressed breath
ing to be Asthma or Phthisic. We have short
ness of breath in Consumption and Pneumonia
just we do in Asthma, only that in these
diseases it is always present, whereas in Asthma
it occurs in paroXysms
Asthma is spasmodic disease of the lungs.
which manifests itself in periodic attacks or
''fits." 1t comes on suddenly and is attended
with great difficulty of breathing while it lasts;
but when the attack is over the patient breathes
almost as well as in health
Nervous, Humid and Dry Asthma are names
given to different forms of this disease. En-
physema is another and more inveterate kind
of Asthma, while Hay Fever or Rose Cold is a
peculiar variety of Asthma which occurs at
certain season of the year. Each of these
forms of disease differs somewhat from the
others in symptoms, but practically these dis
tinctions are of very little value 1t does not
matter to the patient which form of Asthma
he has, since his sufferings are the same in
all. In one case the expectoration becomes
yellow, and we call it bronchial. In another
it is light, and we call it dry. When he coughs
up clear water, with white froth on the sur
face, we say he has Humoral Asthma. In
Nervous Asthma there is very little expector-
alton of any kind. Hay Fever always begins
a clear water runs from the nose and the eyes
before the Asthma fit comes on. In Emphysema
the expectoration is generally thick, and con-
tnues SO in the interval between the fits
while the shortness of breath is increased on
the slightest eXertion.
Without courage and perseverance nothing
is durable. But with these, aided by proper
and skillful treatment Asthma can be cured
even after the lungs are extensively diseased
Persons desiring treatment by this system of
practice can use the remedies at home as well
as at our office and which will cause no incon-
venience or hindrance from business whatever
Every case of Asthma is curable. Eastern
visitors and invalids will be wise in being
cured before they return home.
Those who desire to consult with me in regard
to their cases had better call at the Office for an
examination, but if impossible to visit the Office

RAPID TRANSIT TO WILLIAMSBURG.
The Duquesne to Have Two Electric Roads
Running by Christmas.

The Duquesne to Have Two Electric Roads
Running by Christmas.
The people of Williamsburg are happy over
one thing, and that is that they will have street
car service to Pittsburg within six weeks. if
present indications are to be depended on. The
Duquespe Traction Company will have two
distinct lines to Williamsburg. One of them
will go up Penn avenue, and, forming loop
within the borough limits, stop short of the
railroad tracks. This will be called the East
End Street Railway, and will be ready first
The other will 60 by way of Frankstown ave-
nue., through Homewood, and will 90 all
through the borough forming large loop
along Its principal streets. 1t will be known as
the Williamsburg ana East Liberty line.
1t will be remembered that the Duquesne
Company were for long time in conference
with Williamsburg Councils trying to arrange
for the division of the expense of tunneling the
Pennsylvania Railroad tracks at Penn avenue.
There were several meetings between repre-
sentatives of both sides. and for time it was
thought the tunnel would be made At last,
however, it was decided that IT would not pay,
and the Duquesne got over the difficulty by
keeping one of their lines out of the borough
and allowing the other to 60 through it.
The route of the Williamsburg and East Lib
erty line is as follows: Coming from Brushton,
it will enter Williamsburg on the north side. at
Pitt and Hill streets Then it will run along
Hill to Wood, to Penn, to Water, to Franklin,
to Wood, and out again through Brushton,
Homewood and Frankstown avenue. The East
End line Will enter the borough from the south
by Penn avenue at the city line. Then it will
go to Alfred, to Franklin. to Pitt, to Rebecca.
to Hay, to Franklin, and thus back to the
city.
The rails are now being laid in Williamsburg,
and. Judging from the rapidity with which the
work is being done; there is not much doubt
ride to and from Pitrsburg by electricity
before Christmas, if they please.

BISHOP PHELAN HOME.
PiTTsBURG's CATHOLIC PRELATE GIVEN
BIG OVATION.


Prominent Laymen Receive Him at Union
Station-Reception and Banquet at the
Episcopal Residence--AnI Informal Gath
ering at His House in the Evening.
Rt. Rev. Bishop Phelan arrived home at
noon yesterday, after an absence OF several
months on we'll earned vacation in Europe.
He came in on the Chicago express and ar
rived at the Union station at 1245. To say that
he received an ovation is putting it mildly.
Such a spontaneous outburst of enthusiasm
and words of welcome is seldom accorded
priest, prelate or layman.
The bishop was met at the station by the fol-
lowing committee: Messrs. James Phelan John
Riley. VIM. Totten, A. ]. Kennedy, w. j. Cur
ran, ]. j. Flannery. W. ]. Burns, C. F. Nc
Kenna, Timothy O'Leary John Mackin. Chris

kearne, John ID. Scully A. F. Keating, Cap
tain John Rodgers John 3. Larkin. James Nc
Nally and I. D. Casey. There was also large
number of the members of the clergy present.
After congratulations had been extended,
the bishop, who was looking the picture of
health, was escorted to carriage and driven to
the episcopal residence on Grant street, where
reception was rendered him. At the front en-
trance of the residence the word Welcome"
in large letters of red flowers with laurel bOr-
der, hung upon the wall facing the doorway.

fully arranged. The whole made very pleas
ing effect. The hall was also rastefully
trimmed with laurel and flowers and the dining
room was also profusely decorated.
The Cathedral band was stationed in the hall
and rendered appropriate music, among the
airs being many Irish melodies. At O'Clock
banquet was served in the large dining hall.
At the conclusion of the feast the Bishop made
few remarks expressing his thanks He was
vsibly affected by the evidences of the love
and esteem in which he is held by the people,
and almost broke down several times in his ad-
dress. At the conclusion of the feast he was
Allegheny, where he held an informal reception
in the evening. He will probably not move
over to this side of the river for month or six
weeks yet.

A CENTENARIAN DEAD.
Roger Martin Dies Scott's Alley, Aged
Over 100 Years.

Roger Martin Dies on scott's Alley, Aged
Over 100 Years.
In a neatly furnished room in ore of the
brick houses in Scott's alley lay the mortal re-
mains of a man who lived to see the years of a
century roll around. His face wears a peaceful
expression, showing that he and hatred were
strangers and his simple life was one of peace
and content, though not always of happiness.
Roger Martin died at o'clock yesterday
morning, and his age is not definitely known,
but there is DO doubt that he was l0l years and
probably more. He was native of ireland and
came to this country in 1854, since which time
he has lived in the block in which he died. He
was avicted from a farm which he titled, and
which his father had titled before him, and with
his two sons came TO this country to Join his
other two sons here Since he has been in this
country Mr.. Martin has done no work, but has
spent his time about the block. Always when
he appeared the ma jority OF the children of the
neignborhood would gather around him while
he told them stories of his childhood, nearly
century ago. He was always good natured and
was known by the youngsters as grandpa"
Last January Mr.. Martin sustained fall and
though he was apparently not injured to any
great extent, he has not LETT his room since.
He died of old age and his fall was not con-
sidered the cause. The funeral occurs Friday
morning at 10 o'clock. interment in st. Marys
Cemetery.

Workers From Many Points Bring the Most
Encouraging Reports.
Matters were very lively at the Independent
Republican headquarters yesterday. From
morning until night workers from many points
in the county were coming and going, and they
all brought the most enthusiastic reports
Meetings were arranged for every night during
the week. and dozens of requests for speakers
were made that could not be satisfied During
the time THE DISPATCH reporter was there
one man from Homestead and one from
SharpsbIrg came in. They both stated that
these places were sure to give Pattison hand
some majorities.
The committee began the work yesterday of
distributing 400. .0G0 tickets through the county.
The number of registered voters is 10000.
Peter Shields, of the committee, said they had
been notified that efforts would be made in
many districts in this city to fix election
boards. he said the committee would keep
close watch for frauds. and they authorized
to state that for each case where the proof is
furnished, the person SO producing it will be
entitled to 5000, which the committee will
pay.

Attorney Sanderson Thinks Allegheny Coun-
ty and the State Will Go Republican.
Deputy Attorney General Sanderson has been
stumping in Allegheny county for three days
for Delamater, of course. He has been in
Schuylkill, Lebanon. Lancaster and Bradford
counties, and. judging from observation and
advices received. he says the State will go Re-
publican with good majority. The only diff
Guilty is to get out the vote, and this is always
the trouble in an off year. He thinks Allegheny
county will be Republican with majority of
5000, and he wouldn't be surprised if it was
10000. He says Delamater will come out of
Philadelphia %. 900 votes ahead of Pattison
He remarked that Mr.. Magee's attitude in
the fight was exaggerated. 1t is true he is do
ing nothing, but he is not working against the
ticket McManes in Philadelphia, has too
many friends on both sides. and, to please
everybody, is not pulling either way.

MAY SET HOUSES AFIRE.

When the Pressure is Low the Gas Should
be Turned Off at Night.
A bad and dangerous feature about the low
gas pressure is that it is liable to set fire to the
house. A case of this kind occurred in Oak
land Tuesday night. A lady who lives IN Oak
land had been troubled all day with an insult
fcient supply. and to get heat enough to warp
the kitchen she turned the gas on with full
force and even then there was but a flicker :
During the night The pressure increased and
when the people in the house gos up yesterday
morning, the kitchen range was red hot. Tie
water IN the tea kettle had dried up and every
vessel on the stove was cracking with the heat.
The room was suffocating and the range get
ting hotter every minute. The lady finally cot
near enough to turn off the gas and the wood
work, several feet away from the range was
scorching. While the pressure is so low 1t is
better to turn the gas Off altogether and there
will be no risk of fire.

THEY DRINK ON THE QUIET.
Colonel Swords Says Prohibition Could be
Carried Again in Iowa.

Colonel H. l.. Swords, the Purchasing Agent
of the United States Treasury, started for
Des Moines on the limited last evening. He
has seen all the postoffice people, and knows
what they want in the new building. He says
many of the chairs desks, etc.. in the present
office can be used. and that the work of fur
nishing the department will not cost nearly as
much as he had figured on.
Speaking of Iowa prohibition he said: II be-
lieve that more whisky is consumed in Des
Maines to-day than ever before. The time
was when the saloons of my city paid $4,000
for the privilege of selling; now we don't get a
cent. The people pay the rrIce of prohibition
in keeping up a constabulary to make arrests.
Many of these fellows are drunkards,
but they stick to the business for
the fees in it. However. if prohibition
were resubmitted in Iowa it would win. The
voters in the cities would go against it, but the
people in the country districts would vote for
it and carry the law There are a great many
church going people in Iowa; in fact, they pre-
dominate. We have more churches and school
houses in proportion to population than any
other State in the Union."

WASTE IN IRON MILLS.
The Cost of Natural Gas as Compared With
That of Coal.

The Cost of Natural Gas as Compared With
That of Coal.
Messrs. Daily and Diehl, of the " heeling Gas
Company, gives some figures relative to the
cost of gas for rolling mill work as at present
applied that are worth attention. For instance,
in pudding a ton of iron and making it into
muck bar, $1,000 feet of gas are consumed,
which cost much more than the amount of coal
required. To heat a ton of iron by coal, where
the SIemens furnace is used costs Is cents and
to do the same with gas 60 cents. four times as
much.
This, they explain, is largely owing to the
improvident use of gas in rolling mills and
much of the waste might be avoided by the ap-
pl1cation of apparatus. At present much waste
Is noticeable, even by the most Indifferent as
they pass by. Wherever flames are seen going
out of the top of a stack there is a waste of
heat that would make many households CON-
Portable in the coldest weather.
