ceed with the work he had to take his plan:
to Philadelphia and have them approved.
While the CITY has to pay for the support OF
its paupers and lunatics, these people are
the wards of the State, and the State looks
closely after their welfare"
Mr.. w. C. Mccarthy, who was formerly
Superintendent of the Poor Farm, thinks
that good-sized farm is necessary to fur
nish the required exercise and employment
for the inmates.
Controller Morrow says he doesn't know
the difference between oats and buckwheat,
and for that reason he would not care to
make a campaign among the grangers or to
give an opinion on farming. The 20-acre
suggestion seems to offer some benefits, and
he does not know but that the Twenty-second
ward would be a good location, but there is
one thing the Controller is positive about,
and that is that the city needs hospital,
and needs it badly. For Its location the
Controller suggests Gazzam Hill, where the
city owns some property bought in at
Sherif's sale for taxes, or possibly the old
Passavant Hospital. just off Center avenue.
The Controller says if it is determined to
locate the Poor Farm ia the city, and to
connect municipal hospital with it, that
possibly there might be enough room on
Gazzam Hill.
A CITY HOSPITAL NEEDED.
Inspector McAleese was asked what he
knew about poor farms and municipal hos
pitfalls. The Inspector didn't know any
thing about poor farms, but was positive
that municipal hospital was an immediate
necessity. He said: "Only a day or two ago
we took a man off the street and placed him
in the Central station. The man was suffer-
ing from a contagious disease, and the Gen.
tral station, with its 40 or so prisoners, was
no place for him, but we could not let him
die in the street exposed to the rain. The
hospitals would not take him, and he was
finally sent to the Poor Farm. This is only
a,single instance; these cases occur almost
daily.
Councils passed supplement to the Poor
Farm ordinance yesterday providing that
the money received from the sale of the old
farm shall be applied to the purchase OF a
NEW location. This overcomes the objec-
ton raised that there were no funds for max
ing the purchase, as without this supple
ment the money received from the sale
would be turned into the sinking fund,

ON THE sOUTHsIDE.
The Boroughs on the Top OF the Hills
Almost Depopulnted.

The Boroughs on the Top OF the Hills
Almost Depopulnted.
The parade on the Southside, which is th q
stronghold of the German Catholics of the city,
was the largest ever witnessed in that section
The decorations on St. Michaers Church were
strikingly attractive. Suspended from the
spire of the edifce were hundreds of Japanese
lanterns, etc. At 7 o'clock the societies
from Brownstown formed on Carson street
between Twentieth and Thirtieth and
marched down the former street.
Much enthusiasm was displayed as the long
column moved with measured steps. On both
sides af the street from the head to the rear of
the parade. red fire was burned, which added
to the brilliancy of the thoroughfare. The
parade was retarded several times by the al
most impenetrable mass of people who turned
out to witness the grand demonstration. 1t
can be safely said that the boroughs of Allen
town and Beltzhoover were depopulated. All
the residents came down to see the parade and
such jam, Police Inspector McKelvy said he
never before had to contend with. The crowd
was SO large that it was deemed best to Keep
the day police on duty, but this additional re-
inforcement was unable to cope with the surg
ing crowd.

Allegheny Finance Committee After m
Opinion on a Second CInss Citr.
The Allegheny Finance Committee last night
instructed City Attorney Elphinstone to pre-
pare for them an opinion giving the status of
Ehe city in regard TO becoming a city of the

the office of Assistant City Attorney was indef.
n1tely postponed. The committee authorized
the transfer of $500 from the contingent fund

only the balance of their appropriation for this
year. A large amount of routine business was
also transacted.

AGAINST ASSISTED EMIGRANTs.
Chief Elliot VIII Make Fight Against
Enflish Paupers.

Chief Elliot, of the Department of Charities,
will enter suit against John Crowley for bring
ing pauper into America. The case will be a
test one, and, if successful, a number of other
suits will follow. Margaret Crowley, aged 81
years, was brought to America from an aims
house in Middleborough, Yorkshire England,
by her son, John Crowley, a puddler IN the
National Tube Works at McKeesport. She ar
rived in Philadelphia on May Is. Shortly after
her son turned her out and after living at a
number of places she applied at the Depart
ment of Charities and was sent to the Poor
Farm on August 20. Her case was investigated
in the meantime. and IL was found she was a
pauper, and that her transportation ticket gave
her age as 80 years.
Last night Mrs. Crowley was returned to
Philadelphia, and from there she will be sent
back to England. Chief Elliot says too many
paCDers are being brought here. Fifteen sim-
liar cases have been turned up at the depart
ment during the past year. Chief Elliot will
enter suit against John Crowley under the act
of 1886, which imposes fine of SIS and the cost
of transportation for each pauper brought into
America.
