Court By Magistrate Gripp-AIdermnn
McNulty Holds Mrs. Margaret spealer
nud Her Husband and Daughter.
Two shop-lifting cases were heard yester-
day, one in Pittsburg and the other in AL
legheny. In each case the defendants were
father. mother and daughter, and in each
case General Blakely was the attorney for
the accused.
Before Magistrate Gripp the preliminary
hearing Of Mrs. Anna Onsoit, of Mansfield,
her husband and daughter took place.
Mrs. Onsoit was arrested last Saturday, in
the store of Fleishman & Co. Sadie Nc
Afee, 12 years old, employed at the wrap
ping counter, testified that she saw Mrs.
O9solt seize a lace panel worth So, and slip
1t under her shawl. Last Saturday, when
Mrs. Onsoit again visited the store, she was
arrested.
Two clerks in the store testified concern
ing the woman's visits to the store and her
arrest. Detectives Robinson and Coulson
described the searching of Mrs. Onsoit by
Matron Brennan at the police station. They
said that the pocket from which the goods
were taken was made nearly all around the
interior of Mrs. Onsoit's skirt.
The daughter had asserted that the de-
tectives who searched the Onsoit residence
at Mansfield had stolen $500. Detective
Coulson asked to have Onsoit sworn and
queried concerning that charge. Onsoit
was questioned by Magistrate Gripp, and
said that it was not true that the detectives
had robbed him of $500.
At the close OF the hearing the Magistrate
said that Onsoit could be held technically,
but as he had tried to induce his wife to stop
stealing, he would re discharged. Mrs.
and was taken to Jail.
The charges against Philip and Margaret
Spealer and their daughter Julia, of Hum
goods from the wholesale millinery store of
Porter & Donaldson, were heard by Alder
man McNulty. Constable Billings testified
that he found in the house of the defendants
a lot of goods, which were identified by J.
j. Porter and two of his clerks. These gen.
tlemen testified that Mrs. Spealer confessed
some of the goods had been stolen from
their store. No evidence was presented in
behalf of the defendants, and they were
held for court. Mrs. Spealer IN 81 900, and
Philip and Julia Spealer in $500 each.
They furnished bail.
The neighbors who had been charged with
receiving stolen goods were all discharged.
They were Mrs. Knoblouch, Mrs. J. Miller,
Mrs. E. Maui, Miss Augusta Wolf and
Mrs. Reder. All swore they bought goods
OF Mrs. Spealer, but did not know they
were stolen. John Wise had not bought
nor received any, and was discharged, and
Mrs. Easter did not appear, it being learned
that she neither bought any goods nor had
any given her. !

SATISFIED WITH THE OUTLOOK.
A Solid PaItIson Delegation Predicted From
Allegheny County.

Timothy O'Leary, Jr., is very we'll salts.
fed with the present condition of the Patti
son movement. He said yesterday: 1.-THE
Randall Clubs expression in Pattison's
favor is meeting with approval from all
parts of Western Pennsylvania. 1 have
seen and heard from Democrats from West
moreland, Fayette and other counties, and
find a very strong Pattison sentiment in
those districts. The fact seems to be that
the people are for Pattison, while the poll
ticians, in some places, are for Wallace.
This county, 1 believe, will elect Pattison
delegation. The County Committee will meet
probably in two weeks, and fix the time for
electing delegates. 1t is better to elect,
think, just short time before the State con-
vention. Then it is more likely that the
sentiment of the time will be expressed BY
the delegates. The lew Wallace Democrats
in this city are feeling very lonely. Black
is undoubtedly out of the contest for Gov
ernor, and 1 think his friends will make the
campaign to nominate him for Lieutenant
Governor on the ticket with Ex-Governor
Psttison."
w. S. Gufey, who is we'll acquainted in
Armstrong county, where he has business
interests, says that two Wallace delegates
will be elected by the Democrats of that
county.

Gently took 20 insane veterans. He is a man
of massive proportions, being feet 2x
inches high, and his frame is built accord
ingly. Like all large men his fund of good
humor is almost as enormous, and q better,
more congenial man than he could not be
found in IA States to circulate among the old
veterans who are liable at times to become
moody and melancholy. It won't be the
doctors fault if they fall into such condi-
tions, for his cheerful presence is bound to
lift them above the clouds where the sun is
always shining.
81 am opposed to State homes" said the
doctor. ''The soldier worked for the Gov
ernment, and the Government should care
for him. With the see-sawing in politics so
often seen in States, the State homes become
nothing more than political pest houses
They should be above party politics, and
only men of the highest integrity should be
placed on the board Of managers.
'There are now seven National homes.

He Admired n Widow and Now Sues n
Rival for AssnultIng Him.
An interesting story of rival lovers who
sought the affections of lovely young
widow and then went for each other, was de-
veloped at tine hearing of an aggravated as
sault and battery case before Alderman
Succop, of the Southside, yesterday after
noon. The rivals were Theodore Federo.
viski and John Kimbasky, two young
Poles. Federoviski had been paying at
tentions to Mrs. Koskobach, living at the
head of South Fifteenth street. One night
in April he repaired to the house of his
lady-love, and was dumfounded to find
Kimbasky and the widow laughing, chat
sing and having gazing gay time.
Federoviski went away shocked, but soon
his passions got the better of him, and he
decided to 60 back and demonstrate with
Kimbasky. He did so, and says Kim
basky hit him with beer glass, cutting his
head terribly, and he went away more
shocked than ever. Kimbasky has not
since been seen about his old haunts until
Detective Carrigan ran across him yester-
day. He is in Jail now, pending a settle
ment.

THOSE RUMoRED BIG SALES.

Authenticated transactions Covering Over a
Hundred Acres on Squirrel Hill.
The item published on the financial page
of The DISPATCH yesterday respecting q
rumored sale OF 5000, 900 worth of property
in the East End made lively stir on
Fourth avenue. From the broker who was
mentioned as conducting the transaction,
nothing could be learned; but from other
quarters it was ascertained after much in
quiry that sales of about the amount named
had actually taken place inside of ten days.
The purchase property includes about 100
acres on that section of Squirrel Hill
lying between the park and the Mononga-
hela, and consists mainly of farms along the
line of Greenfield avenue. Among the
properties on the list as sold is 80 acres
which were owned by Mr.. Hill Burgwin
and about 80 acres which were owned by
Mr. Chas. E. Speer and Mr.. John D. Scully
The price is stated to have ranged between
d 300 and s.. 900 per acres. The latter fig
ure is that at which Mr.. Burgwin sold, and
the advance of nearly 100 per cent which
Mr.. w. c. Stewart spoke of in his inter-
view given in these columns yesterday, prob
ably referred to the BurgwIn tract. Two
months ago 1t was in the market at but a
little over 81 900 per acre.
VINO the purchasers are is question
shrouded in mystery; but it is claimed by
those who keen close eve on the real estate
market that they are the same who lately
bought the SAMSON tract at the handsome
advance of $54, 900 on the price which Mr..
SAMSON paid for it less than year ago and
that they are not unconnected with enter
prises on q big scale.
The deals have been talked of more or less
on Fourth avenue for the last three or four
days, without definite indications of the
project afoot. Some guessers say the
purchases are part of project to run road
connecting with theDuquesne Traction line to
others claim that it is in view to
enlarge the Schenley Park; still others think
the investors are merely buying to hold. At
present the property is not easily accessible.
The people on Squirrel Hill have got rather
excited about it. Some OF them say they are
pestered by applications for options. The
one theory that is quite certain SO far is
that the deals mentioned have been made.

STUCK TO ITS TEXT,
But Obliged to Make a Slight
Change in Its Name.
SOME RED-H0T POLITICS.
fhe NOrthside Worker Finds Plenty
to Talk About.
SOME RED-HOT POLITICS.
RUTAN SAYS HE'S STILL In 1T

The recent patriotic" attack on Colonel
Bayne and the consequent Endorsement OF
George Shiras Ill. is to be feature of the
Twenty-third district Congressional contest
by the action of the American Defense
Association" which met on Ohio street, AL
legheny, last evening in quiet way. There
were representatives of 29 councils of the
Jr. o. q. A. NJ. present when the meeting
convened.
A State Official of the Jr. o. o. N. was
present. and made an address in which he
pointed out the very serious mistake the
promoters of the movement had committed
in drawing into political fight the name of
the Junior Order of American Mechanics.
Portions of the constitution of the order
were quoted, and the explanation showed
those present very plainly that the action of
last Friday evening, one week ago, had
been extremity preju dicial to the order,
and utterly without warrant or authoriza-
tion.
ADOPTED A NEW NAME.
1t was then resolved to call the movement
the American Defense Association" and
the Secretary was instructed to invite repre-
sentation from all bodies In sympathy with
patriotic ideas, or lmbued with hostile feel
ings toward Colonel Thos. NJ. Bayne. A
general hustle among Jr. o. Q. A. NJ.
Councils for membership will be inaugur-
ated, and lines will be thrown to other
organizations. 1t is hoped to get
the Junior and Senior Mechanics, the
Patriotic Sons of America, the American
Protestant Association, and several other
similar bodies interested in the objects of
the American Defense Association, which
seem to be primarily to defeat Colonel
Bsyne, and secondarilv, to secure legislation
hostile to miscellaneous immigration.
Heated remarks were made about the
proclivity of The DISPATCH for getting
news, and it was unanimously resolved that
THE DISPATCH should refrain from further
activity in the line of news-getting.
AN ACTIVE CAMPAIGN.
By resolution the American Defense
Association" reiterated its favorable atti-
tude toward Mr.. Shiras, and resolutions
formally indorsing his candidacy were
offered and passed. The letters of the two
candidates were also discussed, and that of
Mr.. Shiras was praised for its clearly en-
phatic statements upon the objects of the
association. An active campaign will be
entered upon, and Mr.. Shiras' friends are to
be urged to keep the ball rolling.
Meanwhile, the political machinery in |
the district is not inactive, as far as Colonel |
Bayne is concerned, and the battle royal |
may be fairly stated as being on. Northside |
politicians think that Mr.. Shiras is putting |
up pretty lively political pace, if it will |
only last down the quarter stretch.

RUTAE HASN'T RETIRED.

Bat Mr.. Heeb's Friends Think He May Yet
Conclude TO Do So.
State Senator Rutan says that the rumor
that he had withdrawn from the Forty
second district fight is an invention of the
enemy. He is on deck and proposes to make
the Northside bailiwick hum. Mr.. Rutan
admits having called at the office of the
Neebs, but says he went to see C. H. Neeb
on a personal matter, and that it did not
have the remotest connection with the polit-
ical matters of the Northside. II am ahead
in the race, and propose to stick right there, J"
was his closing remark.
Mr.. Neeb's friends are quietly confident,
many of them insisting that Mr.. Rutan, il
not already considering the advisability of
retiring, will not be in the fight to the finish

FOXES FOR SCHENLEY zoo.

Chief Bigelow Growing Weary of Life
James Mcknight Wants More AMI
mails for Boarders-An Offer of Three
Racceous.
Three gaunt individuals, all of them be-
ing over six feet in height and one of them
being SO tall that the top of his head touched
the top of the elevator car in City Hall,
walked into Chief Bigelow's Office yester-
day afternoon and asked to see "the man
what runs that park" The chief happened
to be in his private Office, and, not knowing
any better, he stepped out and asked the
men if they wanted to see him. As soon as
he saw his callers and asked the question,
he wished that he were dead, and almost
swooned at the sight.
Each one of the men had in his arms two
large red foxes. They said they came from
Westmoreland county, and hearing that
Mr.. Bigelow wanted all kinds of animals
for his park, they thought they might sell
the foxes. The Chief referred the men to
superintendent" Mcknight, of the Zoo"
who has charge of the animals for the park.
The men repaired to the contractors
house on Oakland avenue, and the first
thing they saw was the pet bear, which
made wicked jump at one of the foxes.
They found Mr.. Mcknight ana asked him
if he did not want to buy the foxes. The
contractor thought somebody was putting
up job on him and refused to take the
foxes as gift. He said the pet bear, whose
custodian he was, was eating him out of
house and home, and he could not afford to
board any more animals until the ZOO" is
ready for business.
After the three men had disappeared
Charles j. Clarke came along and offered
Chief Bigelow three fine black 'coons Had
the 'coons accompanied the offer the chief
would probably have taken fit. When he
was sure that Mr.. Clarke did not have the
animals concealed about his person, the
Chief breathed more freely.
At the rate the animals are coming the
Zoo" will have more than enough occu-
pants long before it Is ready for them.

A Timer and His Employer Receive Exceed
ingly Unwelcome Callers.
Yesterday afternoon two men called at the
plumbing establishment of R. B. Cunning
ham, No. 214 Wyie avenue, and asked to
see Charles Camphouse, a timer employed
by Mr.. Cunningham. They were told that
Mr.. Camphouse was at work at C. Angloch' 5
saloon, on Fulton street. The men went 70
Fulton street. and, finding Mr.. Camphouse,
called him names and assaulted him. They
then returned to Mr.. Cunningham's place,
and asked him what business he had to en-
ploy non-union men. After short dispute
Cunningham was knocked down and Sc
verely beaten, but resisted sturdily. Mrs.
Cunningham came to the rescue, and her aid
was sufficient to drive away her husbands
assailants. She followed them some dis
tance, but they escaped.
Mr.. Cunningham said that he knew the
men. and would enter suit against them to-
day.

upon an interview in which Major A. NJ.
Brown partially stated the attitude of the
gentlemen who had instructed MIN to vote
proxies at the annual meeting of the blind

scurrilous letter, or that he
had threatened to 'cause the failure
of the whole scheme" or that he
wrote begging letter to Mrs. Schenley
He concludes by saying: 81 shall endure
no more ofsuch attacks, absolved as 1 now
am from future responsibility toward an en-
terprise on which my whole heart was set,
until envy and selfish ambition intervened
to lay in ruin all my labors. Those gentle
men who have got hold of this work by
methods which are far from being accounted
respectable, are welcome to all the honors in
store for them in building up an institution
for the blind. 1 shall not lay straw in
their way"

IL Takes Very Hard Guessing to Name the
President of l.. A. 500.
The last hours of the contest for the Presi-
dency of L. A. 300, of the Glass Workers,
Association, have developed state of af.
fairs which makes it, according to those on
the inside, impossible to say until the votes
are counted which way it will go. Late yes
terday afternoon Eberhardt was ahead. but a
few votes would change the complexion of
the returns.
AS the official count has not been made
no one can give an idea of who will be the
winner.
Betting last night was about even. Eber-
hardts supporters say he is the winner.
The Clarey men say his strength will show
up all right, and think he will pull through.
One gentleman, who seems to be on the in
side, said positively that Clarey is elected,
and that he only lacked five votes OF win
ming on the first ballot
The Council will count the votes tonight.

Williamsburg this summer. The contract
calls for its completion by the first of July.
The contractors have been working 100 men
steadily. Yesterday they ran out of ties,
which are brought from the West, and oper-
ations were summarily shut down. Unless
the ties come soon it will be difficult to
finish on schedule time. Penn avenue has
been torn up for over year for repaving.
and now it looks as if it might remain in
the same chaotic condition for another
twelve months.
the summer campaign of grading and
paving has commenced in Williamsburg in
earnest. Penn avenue, South street, Wal
lace street and half dozen other thorough
fares are in the hands of workmen. It is a
big job to get rid of the winter mud holes.
but Williamsburg does it regularly every

A report has gained ground among glass
workers that the action of the manufacturers
in reporting a shutdown on June ! is bluff
to effect the tariff bill before Congress, by
thus showing that the business cannot be
carried on successfully with present duties
on raw material. 1t is whispered about that
the shutdown will not take place until
July 1, as USUAL.
Mr.. William Loeffier, who was Secretary
of the Chicago Convention, was seen yester-
day. He said that no reference whatever
was made to the tariff, and that the closing
was being made for the reason stated aud no
other. John J. O'Leary, of O'Leary Bros,
also denied that the closing on June 1 had
anything TO do with the tariff.
