A WALKING SPEAK-EASY.

An Ex-Saloon Keepers Manner of Dispos.
Carried About the Streets in the Inside
Pockets of His Ulster.
A perambulating speak-easy in the person
of Jack Darrah, an ex-saloon keeper of
East Diamond, Allegheny. languished last
night in the Allegheny lookup. Like
OtheIlo, his occupation is gone. Chief
Murphy was told early in the evening that
Darrah was shopping around the First and
Third wards in very suspicious manner.
A little stroll located the object of suspicion
at the corner OF Anderson avenue and
Lacock street. Darrah was muffied up in a
huge ulster, in itself queer garment for
warm night He was closed in upon quietly.
just as he passed pint bottle to a rough
looking customer and received some silver
in exchange. Darrah offered no resistance,
and accompanied the officers to the lookup.
His coat, upon examination, was found to
contain Is inside pockets In three of the
pockets were found half-pint bottles of
whisky; 50 40 in silver accounted for the
empty pockets. A dirk-knife and a six
shooter, with four barrels loaded, were found
upon his person also. The corks in the
three bottles were all new and had evidently
been bought for the speak-easy. One of the
bottles was uncorked, and every body took
a smell. 1t was universally agreed that the
vending of such liquor was a crime which
deserved rigorous punishment. Darrah
took his arrest philosophically and sent for
several friends, all of whom were too impe-
cunious to do business on the bail basis with
Captain Wilson.
Chief Murphy will make information
against Darrah this morning for selling
liquor without license and selling on Sunday.

WEATHER DEMONSTRATIONS.
What General Passenger Agent Clark
Thinks of the Summer.

Thinks of the Summer.
General Passenger Agent A. E. Clark, of
the Lake Erie road, is nothing if not acute in
his observations. He is an old man and has
been a close observer all his life. Mr.
Clark makes a close study of the weather,
he does it from a business standpoint as
gauge of the summer excursion trade. He
still insists that the coming summer will
not be warm.
In giving the reasons on which he based
his opinion, he said: "It is warm to-day,
will be warmer tomorrow, and on Monday
it will be cold again. This heat is only the
precursor OF storm. L have always noticed
that from the 9th to the 18th of May in
every year it is always cold. 1t is usually
very warm during the latter part of April,
and this melts the ice rapidly within the
Arctic circle. So much heat is consumed
in the melting operation that reaction
comes, and the first two weeks in May are
cold, before the equilibrium is restored.
This theory will account for the onion
SHOWS, as the farmers call them.
II notice that the ice is breaking up in
the Arctic regions earlier than usual this
year. A vessel reported having seen % ice
bergs off Newfoundland few days ago. The
icebergs affect the weather In the st. Law
renee valley, and along the New England
States. but the interior is not disturbed un-
less there are northeastern winds. NV
opinion is that better season for Arctic ex-
plorations could not be chosen.
"But as to just what bearing the weather
will have on the excursion business, it is
difficult to say. 1t has come to this that
people will travel anyhow"

LEASED FOR SO YEARS.
The Wisconsin Central and Northern Pacific
Make n Long Line.

The Wisconsin Central and Northern Pacific
Make n Long Line.
President Abbott, OF the Wisconsin Gen.
trail road, passed through the city last even
ing en- route to New York. Within the last
few days he signed the lease of the road for
80 years to the Northern Pacific. Mr.. Abb
bott says the combination of the two lines
makes the finest and longest stretch of
track in the United States. The roads ex-
tend from Chicago to the Pacific Ocean. Mr..
Abbott claims that the Wisconsin Central
has better terminal facilities in the Windy
City than any other road. which is not say
ing great deal. The organization OF the
Wisconsin Central will be nominally main
tanned, but the Northern Pacific will be in
complete control.
Speaking of railroad prospects, Mr.. Ab-
bott said: Gall the roads have been doing
a good business so far this year. The vol
ume of traffic continues to be large. There
are no new lines in the West on the carpet,
and 1 don't think many miles of new track
will be built this summer Some short
branches may be built, but nothing very ex-
tensive. If the Worlds Fair will be held
in Chicago it will boom the freight and
passenger trade of the Western lines. The
roads will have to do something to increase
their terminal facilities. L think reasona-
BILE carrying rates will be established gener-
ally by all the railroads.

THE GARBAGE PROBLEM.

Investigation.

A Delegation of Jerseymen on n Tour
Investigation.
Last evening delegation of citizens from
Newark and Paterson, N. j., were on the
limited going west to inspect the workings
of the Merz system for ridding cities of
garbage. They expected to visit Chicago,
New York, Detroit, Milwaukee, ST. Paul
and other places. In the party were DR.. c.
S. Van Ripper, DIR. Frank Agnew, Alder
man Riley and j. L. Leal, the health
officer of Paterson, and Mayor J. E. Haynes
and his secretary, George D. Haynes.
DR.. Van Ripper said that the garbage ques-
tion was problem for all the large cities to
solve. Good health depends on pure air and
water to a large extent, and the noxious
vapors arising from decaying vegetable mat
ter and other refuse do much to contaminate
the atmosphere. The Merz or Vilund system
of incinerating the garbage has been adopted
in number OF Western cities, and recently
in New York. Even the gases that arise
from the burning are consumed, and the
furnaces are so constructed that the ashes
can be sifted and all money and valuable
articles of gold and silver that are fire.
quently lost can be recovered.

Mr.. Price for wears. To be sure they were
exceedingly surprised to see me, and about
the first thing they said was: why, Gus,
you must 20 home, and Immediately, too;
for YOU have no reason for remaining awav.
My answer was; oh, they don't want to see

effort to find me before this Mrs. Price re-
piled: But. Gus, you must 60 home on your
wife's account, If for no other reason Ac-
cordinglv arranged matters and left San
Francisco with them March 3.
"We went by water down to Mexico
through Central America to Panama. Mrs.
Price had written to my wife on the first
day called at the hotel, and on arriving at
Panama a letter from Mrs. Otterson was in
waiting. We crossed the isthmus and came
on by water to New York, arriving there

then came home, arriving here on Thursday

Daring my stay there l earned enough to

REASONS FOR HIS LETTERS.
"While was in that terrible deranged
condition 1 wrote two letters, one 10 Mr..
Swindell and one to nv wife, portions of
which have been published. 1 have made
an explanation to Mrs. Otterson about them,
and the state of my mind at that time is

81 am exceedingly sorry that 1 ever met
with this misfortune, both on my wife's ac-
count and on Mr.. SwindelPs. To be sure, l
owe Mr.. Henry Swindell statement, which,
of course, will make TO him on his arrival
in this CITY; he is now absent on business.

anything. 1 am back home-and glad to
get here, by the way, for my sufferings and
thoughts of home during nv absence were
almost too much for me to bear. am now
enjoying good health, and mean to perma-
nently remain here, SO far as I know at
present"
Mr.. Otterson's manner while conversing
with the reporter was sufficient to convince
any one that the entire story OF his wander
ings since last fall was being told, without
and when the interview was
over the sigh of relief he gave was evil

FAITHFUL TO GROVER
Congressman Hatch, of Missouri, Pre-
diets a Democratic House.
he SAYS HARRISON is A FAILURE.
Jerseymen Inspecting the Msrz System Of
Burning Garbage.
A WESTERN RAILROAD COMBINATION

Congressman Hatch, of Missouri, bobbed
up at the Union depot last evening fresh
from the Southwest wearing a new white
derby hat. "Oh, 1 have no intention to
force the season." he said, "but it is warmer
down my way than in Pittsburg, and we Will
make it redhot for the Republicans next
fall"
The doughty Congressman was in an ele-
gaut humor before he went to supper, but
when he came from the station restaurant,
he was as red as boiled lobster, and he
raved at the food, the walters and the service.
The air was blue for a few moments and
then he declared he always got the poorest
meal at the depot to be had anywhere along
the railroads between the two oceans. He
thought it was reflection on a city famous
for irst-class hotels.
MADE NO ALLOWANCES.
The reporter apologized for the supper
and explained that the Congressman should
make some allowance on Sunday evening,
but the great Democrat was in a bad humor
and no apologies would appease him.
81 am in fine mood, you see" he began,
''to talk on politics. 1 hate to get into
tantrum, but I couldn't help it. left
Washington last Sunday and have been
spending week at home. Going out 1
talked with a number OF prominent men
met on the trains and they all assured me
that there was a strong revuision in the po-
litical feeling. At the end of u months
the Republicans are more disgusted
with their President than the
Democrats were e ten days after
Cleveland's defeat. We felt terribly cut
up about it, but it is our turn to dance now.
Ben Harrison was foreordained and predes-
tinated to be failure as an executive offer.
I am told he believes in foreordinatIon and
predestination, and both doctrines will ap-
ply to his case. 1 feel sure that the next
Congress will be Democratic with good
working majority.
WHEAT IN THE WEST.
"In the West the wheat crop on the high
lands is spotted, but it looks fair enough in
the more favored places. The out
look for prices is rather blue, and
they can't see any hope for the immediate
future. A high tariff is an unjust imposi-
tion on the honest granger, and they are
beginning to feel the weight of the burden.
They can't stand it much longer, before
they will unload
SIS Cleveland still the Democracy's
hope?" ventured the reporter.
SIS he our hope?" replied Mr.. Hatch.
"Will he be candidate? No, he won't be
a candidate tor the nomination, but he will
be nominated. whether he wants it or not.
IF a convention and election were held
within the next 80 days, Cleveland would
be named and elected without any trouble.
An abler and more satisfactory President
never sat in the chair"

DRIVERS WANT A SHARE,
Ice Company Employees Will Ask for an In
crense in Wages.

Ice Company Employees Will Ask for an In.
crense in Wages.
According to the statements of employees
engaged in the business, the ice crop will
not be nearly as short as the different COM
panies are trying to make people believe.
A meeting of L. A. 1852 K. of L., composed
OF ice drivers and helpers, was held yester-
day. 1t was stated that there was suf-
fcient ice on hand now to run through the
summer and the supply will last until next
winters crop is harvested.
The new scale was discussed and at
special meeting next Sunday it will be
adopted. At the meeting it was stated that
in view of the fact that the companies would
advance prices, it was but just that wages
should be advanced in the same proportion.
1t was said by some of the drivers that the
companies would advance rates to $50 per
ton on quantities from 10 to so pounds daily.
This would make the price one and one-half
cents per pound, which, it is said, is pretty
steep price for Ice. The advance in wages
to be asked for will be about 10 per cent.
1t was also stated that a we'll known ALLIE
gheny dealer was selling ice on Saturday
last by the bushel. The stuff was slush
from the cars and was good for cooling pur-
poses. 1t sold at the rate of 80 cents per
bushel. The members of L. A. No. 1882
do not take any stock in machine made ice.
They say it cannot be packed and will melt
too rapidly.

Mr.. KREIL'S VERSION.
His Story Not Much Like Tint of District
Muster Workman Ross.

hoSBs
A meeting of the Board of Directors Of
the Musical Mutual Protective Union was
held yesterday. There is likely to be a
pretty lively scene when Master Workman
Ross, of D. A. 8, X. of L., meets Gus
Kreil, of the Musical Union, this evening,
to settle the difficulty Of the engagement of
the Great w estern Band for the opening of
the National League baseball season. Mr..
Kreil said last night that it was untrue that
six members Of L. A. 1888 had asked to be
reinstated in the Musical U nion, or even
asked to be allowed to square up, SO as to be
able to join L. A. 1888.
"If Mr.. Ross can prove his assertion in
this regard to be true" said Mr.. Kreil, 81
will withdraw nv objections to the Great
Western Band and will even cancel my en-
gagement with Manager Hecker for an
other band. Mr.. Ross says that if we take
out of the Musical Union all persons who
are expelled members of the knights OF
Labor he will weed out L. A. 1888. 1 want
to say emphatically that there is not men,
Der in the Musical Union who was ever ex-
PEELED from any Knights of Labor organiza-
tion."
Mr.. Kreil stated that the Secretary Of the
Muslcal Union Will go before u magistrate
to-day and make an affidavit that not only
six but sixteen members Of L. A. 1888 are
expelled members of the Musical Union,
and that one of them was expelled twice.
Mr.. Ross has admitted that there were six
of the Great Western Band ex-
pelled from the Musical Union, and there
may be others in L. A. 1888 who are not in
the Great Western Band.
Mr. rai1 ipeicfc hat he 10 6ohfip1
the Knights of Labor, but the men who
helped to make the rules of the Musical
Union and now persist in bresking them.
He states that Mr.. Ross and l.. A. 1888 are
directly violating the agreement made be-
tween Mr.. PowdeSly and Mr.. Gompers. that
none of the organizations should receive ex-
pelled members from other organizations.
A meeting has been arranged for this
afternoon at the headquarters of the M. M.
p. o., where an effort will be made to have
a committee of arbitration appointed.
