THIRTEEN DAYS MORE
And the Birmingham Line Will Run
Its Cars With Electricity.
CARSON STREET is OvERCROWDED.
Too Much Traffic, and Another Outlet
Wanted by Citizens.
TRAFFIC on OTHER LINES INCREASED

1t is now positively announced that the
Birmingham Traction Company will COM
mence to operate its line by electricity De-
cember Is. Connections have been made
with the trolley wire from the large supply
cables. The Allegheny County Light Com
pany will furnish the power until the street
car company's plant is ready for business.
The electric company, it is expected. will
not be able to furnish more than enough
electricity for the cars to attain common
horse speed.
The action of the street car company in
operating the line before its own electric
plant is ready, is said to be due to the fact
that the company's live stock is little run
down. The company does not want TO buy
more horses, and in order to accommodate
the traffic, will buy enough electricity from
the light company to keep the line going.
The traffic on the line is increasing daily.
A car to town is nearly always crowded be-
fore it gets much past South Tenth street.
Owing to the latter fact it has been said that
the company may at an early date put up elec-
trio wires from the junction of Tenth and
Carson streets 70 the city. and run every other
car over the Tenth street bridge.
Something must soon be done to relieve the
pressure of the traffic on Carson street. If the
traffic increases when the electric line is put
into operation anything like it has on the
other electric roads, 1t is said that it will be
possible to even run electric cars close enough
together to accommodate the people.
The crowded condition of Carson street is just
now causing good deal of talk on the South
side, and as the time approaches when the
electric road will be put in operation, people
are wondering how the teams can be accommo-
dated.
The teamIng between the upper and lower
Southside and the city has been increased
wonderfully in the past year. Since the Second
avenue line has been put in operation not as
many teamsters use the Tenth street bridge
They complain too. that the streets leading to
the city from the Tenth street bridge are not in
good condition for teamiDg.
During the past few months. and, particular
ly, the past few weeks, there has been hardly a
day but there has been a blockade near the
Lake Erie depot on Carson street. If a car is
stopped only a few moments by the men put
ting down the new track, long line of teams
gather, and it takes at least quarter of an
hour to move the block.
There is a continual stream of wagons going
up and down Carson street and across the
Smithfield street bridge The other day a
blockade occurred. and ! gentleman going to
the bank said it had kept him back until the
banks doors were closed.
The movement to cut archway through
the Southside Market House, and thus open up
Bingham street for teaming, has been again
brought to the front. Citizens urge that 1t is
the only means in sight of relieving Carson
street OF its overcrowded traffic.

DIVIDED THE REWARD.

Washington County Jury Awards the
$1,000 Offered for the Capture of West,
Who Murdered the Crouch Family at
Bentleyville.
Chief of Police Murphy and Detective
Kornman, of the Allegheny police force
visited Little Washington yesterday and
appeared before the jury that was selected
to award the money offered for the capture
and conviction of the murderer of the Crouch
family. There was a large crowd in at
tendance, and the proceedings were fraught
with considerable interest.
In speaking OF the days experience Chief
Murphy said last night that the Monongahela
City people put in a bid for the entire $1,000.
and were greatly disappointed because they
did not get it. They were so sure that the bulk
of the money would go to them that Chief of
Police McCleary wagered So each with Chief
Murphy and Detective Kornman on this prop
osltion. When Chief Murphy took the stand
he told the jury that he did not care if the Al
legheny officials did not receive 81 of the re-
ward. He merely wanted it to go to the people
who were entitl Ell to it. He then told the jury
how he received his first descriptions of the
alleged murderer West and the white woman
with him from the Pittsburg morning papers.
He at once found that they Tailed exactly with
luoSO VI d COlOTeu man "Illte WIZ
had obtained 81 by false pretenses from
cOlored man in the Allegheny market named
Hoover. At the time they told Hoover they
wanted the money pay their fares to Bentley
vile, where the Crouch family lived. That
same day he sent Detective kornman TO
Sewickley. The detective wired back that
West and his companion had gone to Enon.
The chief wired back for him to follow them.
He did so and found them under arrest at
Beaver.
\ young newspaper man of Monongahela
City named Earl was present, and produced
clippings of the items which he had furnished
the morning papers of this city, ard Chief Muir
ply at once identified them as the ones he had
referred to. Mr.. Earl had Attorney Todd to
spread-eagle speech. based mainly upon Chief
Murphy's evidence. His oratory had the desired
effect, and he scored a double triumph, MIR.
Earl being awarded $50.
After hearing cons siderable evidence the jury,
without much deliheration, divided the money
as follows: Officer Orr OF Little Washington,
$500. Orr was the man who worked up the evil
dence IN the case from Beaver to Bentleyville.
Chief Murphy allowed 500 Mayor Hous-
ton and Chief of Police McCleary were al
lowed 500 each. Policeman White, OF Beaver,
who arrested West. got Sl00; Earl $780, and
Policeman Cornell, of Beaver, $50. The divis-
ION gave satsfa ction to all save the MonOnCa-
were undoubtedly deserving of the money they
were awarded as they found the suit of clothes
which West hid at Beaver, and produced other
valuable evidence.
Chief Murphy says that West Is cheerful and
hearty and to all appearances is not wasting
much sleep over his impending fate of death
on the galows. The date OF his execution, 1t
is thought will be fixed in the near future, as
Governor Beaver steps down and out on Jan
uary l.

Philadelphia Green Bottle Blowers Vote o

Philadelphia Green Bottle Blowers Vote on
Arrington's Scheme.
Recent advices from Philadelphia show that
the green bottle blowers are as much con-
cerned about Arrington's cooperative scheme
as the local trade. Local Assembly No. 1866.
Camden, n. j., at its last meeting voted en-
phatically against cooperation. They also de-
manded that National Secretary Longtoft
should make a report of the matter in which
the trade assessments are being made. There
are 25 idle men in Philadelphia who are not re-
ceIving any assistance and the workers want to
know why this is so.
Mr. Arlington lately sent letter to Quaker
Assembly No. S239 denouncing the newspapers
for publishing the recent action of this assem-
bly, ON his cooperation scheme, and committee
was appointed for the purpose of furnishing a
denial to the press.

A DEMAND FOR LIGHT.

Some People Searching to Learn Where
Rests Responsibility.
A case of crazy woman taken to the Central
Station day or two ago has caused consider
able comment in a certain portion of the city.
The woman. it seems, was making the situation
interesting for sister, and the latter called a
policeman and had ner arrested. She was put
into the patrol wagon and taken to the station,
where the officer i'll charge refused to receive
her, and after some controversy she was allowed
to 90.
The question raised is: Should she have re-
turned home and murdered the sister against
whom she was moved to commit violence, where
would the responsibility have rested? Some
people asking for light on the subject.

What the Charitable Institutions Want
From the State.
James B. Scott went to Philadelphia last
evening to attend the final meeting of the
State Board of Charities at which the report
for the Legislature will be prepared. Before
the subcommittee in Eastern and Western
Pennsylvania went over the requests made by
the charitable institutions, Mr.. Scott said the
whole amount of State aid asked for was about
S5.0O0.OO0.
He added that this is large sum of money,
but in proportion to the population Of the
State, which he puts at 600 co., it is not out of
the ordinary for two years. He would not in
dIcate what recommendations the board would
make.

Captain William McClelland. who is mem

prominent candidate for Adjutant General of
the State, returned home from Chicago yester-
day. where he has been for some time engaged
in business connected with the first named
position.
The Captain is quite enthusiastic over the
outlook for the big show to be held in Chicago.
and thinks it will eclipse anything of tho kind
in the history of civilization. All the wrinkles
have been smoothed out and the future
promises comparatively plain sailing. He had
nothing to say concerning the Adjutant Gen.

paper had announced that Major Frank Rut-

race. Amid all the rumors the Captain and his
friends are saying nothing, but there is an uns

looks as If it was based on something moro
