READY TO CAMP OUT.
The Duquesne Rod and Gun Club in Excel

The Duquesne Rod and Gun Club in Excel
lent Shape.
The Duquesne Rod and Gun Club, of Al
legheny, has completed arrangements for
camping out this summer. 1t will spend
the month of August up the Monongahela
river, at No. 9 dam, in Virginia. The club
has inaugurated new feature in camping
out, and its summer encampment will be
provided with all the comforts and even
luxuries of frst-class hotel. Ithas an ele-
gantly fitted up boat house 60 feet long,
containing bunk room, dining room and
kitchen, with covered porches at each end.
Door and window screens secure them i'm
munity from flies and mosquitoes and other
blessings" incidental to camping out. The
bunk room contains IL fully equipped
hunks, mating on the floor and curtains on
the windows. Twelve lockers are in the
dining room. which, with its large ice
chest, store cupboards, china closet, exten-
sion table, chairs and oil cloth, presents
bomelike appearance. In the kitchen every
article that could be thought of by good
housewife is present in the pink of condi-
ton. In addition, the club has two large
hospital tents, and 80 can live on land or
water, whichever is most suitable.
The members of the club are Clerk of
Courts D. Z. McGunnegle, Jury Commits
sioners J. j. Walker and John W. Jiles,
Court Clerk Leon J. Long, G. W. Stevens,
Richard Sharp, Harry Coulter, Charles E.
Willard, j. T. HOLES, George Kramer, D.
P. O'Doherty, j. W. Chronister, Jacob
Wainwright and B. C. Christy. The only
drawback to their plans is that the club was

desiring to Join is so great that the number
will probably be increased. If that hap
pens, Mr.. Long stated, they will have to
dispose of their present quarters and build a
larger boat, thing that will likely happen.

WANT TO TRY IT OVER.
A Couple of applications for Rehenrings by
the Grand Jury.

the Grand Jury.
W. D. Moore, ESQ.,, yesterday filed petit
tions asking the Court to recommit to the
grand jury two cases, in which bills had
been ignored and the costs placed on the
prosecutors, back to the grand jury. Ore
was the case OF William Ninschenheim, who
was charged by j. Houfnagle, of No. 46
Butler street, with libel. In his statement
Mr.. Houfnagle asserts that last April he
and Muschenheim were applicants for liquor
license. Muschenheim carried around a
remonstrance against Houfnagle. 1t was
alleged that the latter was a drunkard and
not the right kind of q man to run house,
and that bummers and loafers were kept
about. Also, things were put into the re-
monstranee alter it was signed by different
parties. Owing to these statements a license
was refused. One of the grand Jurors, he
stated, while the case was pending, abused
him personally In a most false and scandal
Gus way, with a view to influencing the
grand jury to ignore the bill.
Statements from the Rev. J. D. Sands, j.
Platt, Mr.. Eicol and c. r. Miller, who
were witnesses before the grand jury, &C.
companied the petition. They said they
had signed the remonstrance, but had no
recollection of the clause OF intemperate
habits, and that the house was dangerous
one for women and children to pass, having
seen it when they signed. The Court was
aked to send the case back to the grand
jury.
The other case was that of Robert q.
Roth, charged with assault and battery ON
Thomas Armstrong. Armstrong gave the
testimony that had been submitted to the
grand jury, also that of three witnesses
whom the grand jury would not hear, say
stated, named Stewart, of Homestead,
friend Of Roth's, while the hearing was
pending, by his questions showed himself
perfectly familiar with the case. 1t was
asked that this case also be sent back.

MANGLED AND BRUISED.

Boy Crushed Under Car Wheels-Three
People Escape Death in Allegheny Ceme-
tery-The Deadly Kerosene Can Again
MANNED for Life.
A frightened scream, followed by cries Of
distress, attracted the attention of several
people in the Allegheny Cemetery yesterday
afternoon. Hurrying to bend in the road
they were horrIfed to see plunglng, rear
ing horse staggering on the brink of steep
embankment. The terrified animal was at
tached to a light coupe, occupied
by Mr.. Felix R. Brunot, q member
of the board ofincorporators of the cemetery.
He was just returning from the meeting of
the managers. Miss Mary Hogg was seated
in the vehicle. The driver struggled to hold
in the frenzied steed, but the horse darted
forward with sudden spring, overturning
the coupe. Mr.. Brunot was thrown vio-
lently to the ground, while Miss Hogg fell
in the road, miraculously escaping fatal in
juries. The driver was badly hurt and was
taken to the West Penn Hospital.
The rest are doing we'll. The coupe was
completely ruined, while the horse was cap
tured soon after.

NOT WATER ENOUGH.
Phillips e. Miftenzwei's Cooper Shop
Burned Down Last Evening-The Fire.
mrn Delayed By n Scarcity Of Water
Loss 81 900,

Phillips e. Mittenzwei's Cooper Shop
Burned Down Last Evening-The Fire.
mrn Delayed By Scarcity Of Water
Loss $4,000.
The cooper shop connected with Phillips
& Mittenzwei's planning mill, at the foot Of
South Twentieth street, caught fire at about
1915 last evening and was destroyed, with a
loss Of about So, 900.
The cause Of the fire Is mystery as no
work had been done in the shop for three
days. A neighbor first discovered it and
notified Engine Company No. IL. When
the engine arrived connection was made
with the freplug at the corner of
Twentieth and Merriman's alley,
but there was not water enough
and the engine had to disconnect and try
the next plug square off 1t was thought
necessary to send in the second alarm to
save the other buildings of the firm near.
The fire was soon under control, though the
building was nearly destroyed, only por-
ton of the west end being saved.
Mr.. William Mittenzwei, a member OF
the firm, is now deceased, and Mr.. John 0.
gheny. Mr.. John Mittenzwei, brother Of
William Mittenzwei, was seen at the fire. He
said the building was worth about $500 and
contained about 1000 kegs. valued at about
13 cents each, which would make loss of
81, $40 with the tools, lumber, etc. The loss
will probably reach $1,000. Mr.. Mitten-
zwei did not know whether the insurance
had run out or not.
Mr.. Mittenzwei said that no water was
thrown on the fire for fully 20 minutes after
the engines arrived and then there was not
enough water. He was very mad at this
fact and did not hesitate to express himself
to that effect.
Chief Stewart said there was only four
inch main on Twentieth street, with no
force, and, Of course, sufficient supply
could not be obtained. This is the fourth
time the cooper shop was burned down, and
those who had been at previousfre said the
supply was then sufficient.

BEAUTIFUL INVITATIONS

Issued by the Allegheny semi-C centennial
Celebration Committee.
Attractive looking invitations were issued
yesterday by the Reception Committee of
the Allegheny Semi Centennial celebration.
The citizens extend a welcome hand to Wis.,
itors far and near, and their handsomely
designed solicitations are expected to be
favorably responded to by all whose pres
ence will add pleasure to the ceremonies of

and three feet wide. There are four tiers oi
these hunks, and in each sleep two or three,
aud in one or two cases, four men.
The night was very warm, but inside
these rooms the temperature was fearful, and
the smell abominable. There were no BED
clothes, and the men had taken off almost
all, and in many cases every stitch, of their
clothing, rolling it up or pillows, and there
they lay and sweltered. The Black Hole OF
Calcutta could scarcely have been worse.
To add to the closeness of the atmosphere a
dingy kerosene lamp smoked away In one
corner.
Sunday is washing and baking day In
these places. The cooking stove is fred up,
wash kettles are set on to boil, and every
man proceeds to wash his shirt and bake
enough rye bread TO last him during the
coming week.
SUNDAY IN A LODGING HOUSE.
The work is soon done. The shirts are
quickly dried and donned, and as soon as
the bread is baked each man takes his batch
and places it in his trunk, which serves as
bank, larder, wardrobe and bed. Then the
kegs of beer, which have been purchased on
Saturday night, are tapped, old greasy
cards are taken out of pockets and the in
mates proceed to enjoy themselves. They
gamble in Q small way, but as q general
thing there is no violent outbreak. The
men talk noisily and gesticulate violently,
but quarrels are rare. When one does occur
a knife is suddenly flashed out, and there is
work for the Coroner.
The men have, however, wholesome fear
of the law, and the combatants are usually
separated before much damage is done.
When one of them does get into trouble, his
fellow-couRtrymen will do all they can to
shelter him. When questioned by the po-
lice they know absolutely. nothing. Detec-
tive Sol Coulson, whose bng experience in
police matters makes him an authority, says
there is more trouble in convicting an Ital-
ian than any other foreigner. The Chinese
are stolid and will fool the police if they
can, but they are easily frightened and will
give evidence against their brethren to save
themselves. Not so with the Italians They
will deny all knowledge of a crime or the
criminal and maintain that position to the
end.
