AN OFFICER IN TROUBLE.
He Did Not Think It Worth While to Report
shooting.

He Did Not Think IL Worth While to Report
Shooting.
A kind Providence watches over drunken
man, and to this is due more than anything
else that Albert Landsberry, West End
resident, is not the chief object in house
of mourning.
About 1115 o'clock Saturday night,
Landsberry and some companions were
standing in front of the formers home on
Wabash avenue, opposite the Old Stone
Tavern, when Officer Alstadt, who had tol-
lowed them to the house, came up and
had some words with Landsberry. The
latter claims the officer struck him on the
head with his mace and when the young
man grabbed the club, the policeman drop
ped it and pulled his revolver. He was
standing within a few feet of Landsberry
and pointing it at the latter, the officer
pulled the trigger. The bullet, 3S-calibre,
entered Landsberry's leg below the hip, and
lodged iD the muscles of the cali.
The officer did not think it worth while
reporting the shooting, and when Inspector
McKelvy asked about it, he replied that the
revolver was discharged accidentally. The
officer fired two shots while standing in
front of Landsberry, but does not explain
how it went off accidentally the second
time. He was suspended pending an in.
vestigation.

So As, 900 WORTH OF EVERETT PIANOS
The Largest Contract Ever Given to Que
Factory.

The Largest Contract Ever Given to One
Factory.
The elegant display of these beautiful
pianos at the Exposition, and the remark
ably low prices asked for them, as compared
with other makes, led the writer to inquire
into the club or cooperative system upon
which they are sold. A conversation with
Prof. Weeden, the well-known singer, who
has charge OF the exhibit, disclosed the fact
that each club is composed of $50 members,
and that the second series, or club "B," is
almost complete, and will commence taking
their pianos during this month, the two
clubs. ga" and "B, making a total OF 700
pianos disposed of within 13 months. 1t is
by making such large contracts that the re-
markably low price is secured. The system
provides variety of ways of making pay
ments. Some members pay all cash; some
pay monthly installments, and others pay
only 81 per week, so that members can con-
suit their own convenience. The manager
claims that the piano is secured by members
SIS less than the retail price-a very modest
claim in the judgment OF the writer, as he
has failed to find any other upright piano
equal in tone and finish to the Everetts dis
played at the Exposition. While the club
system provides the lowest price and the
most convenient method of payments, we
advise everyone who wants a piano to be-
come a member OF club "B' before it is too

SUCH A SABBATH DAY
Michael Gropsky Shot and Killed in a
McKee's Rocks Jo- Boat.
A BOY THROWN UNDER A TRAIN.
Serious Charge Made Against Young
Allegheny Mother.
ROWS WHICH MAY RESULT FATALLY

Allegheny county enjoyed anything but
peaceful Sabbath yesterday several deeds
of blood casting O crimson stain upon the
white halo which should envelop the day of
rest.
Michael Gropsky,a Pole, lies dead in the
morgue with a bullet wound through his
body, while II of his countrvmen are in Jail
on suspicion of being implicated in the
murder. The shooting occurred at 1910
A. M. yesterday. in a jo boat at Browns
landing, McKee's Rocks. Joseph Mulick
and his wife ran the place, which contains
four rooms, as a boarding h ouse, and had II
or IA boarders. On Saturday night the
whole party had been drinking freely, and
about midnight Mulick became ugly and
commenced an attack upon his boarders.
After effectively knocking out one or two of
the men, he turned his attention to Michael
Gropsky, the dead man, and the latter fled
from the house. AS Gro psky ran past the
window the muzzle of a revolver was pro-
truded through broken pane and fired. the
ball entering Gropsky's body.
aRoPsKY's BROTHER ATTACKED.
The shooting aroused a brother of
Gropsky, who was in bed, and he jumped
up and ran into the other room, where he
was met by Mulick, who struck him and
knocked him down. When it was dis
covered that Gropsky was seriously injured
the fight ceased, the injured man was car
ried into the house and DR.. Robert Miller
summoned, who extracted the ball, 3S
caliber.
Justice of the Peace Miles Bryan heard
of the trouble, and summoning posse of
three constables and several citizens, went
to the shanty boat, and after learning few
scanty facts about the case, placed every
body in the house under arrest, except Mrs.
Mulick and the wounded man. He then
chartered car on the West End line, and
brought all his prisoners to the county Jail.
They were battered and bleeding crew,
one man having serious wound In his
head. Gropsky died at 6 o'clock in the
evening, and the Coroner was notified.
COULDN'T UNDERSTAND THE DIALECT.
When Coroner Mcdowell went to the Jail
to investigate the murder he was accompan-
led by Court Interpreter Left The latter,
however, could not understand the peculiar
dialect used by the prisoners, and but
little headway was made. One of the pris-
oners had a conversation with Gropsky after
the shooting. but just what Gropsky had said
the man could not repeat so as to be under
stood This morning the Coroner will take
an interpreter to the Jail who is from the
same district in Poland, and understands
the peculiar dialect. The main facts OF the
story were obtained from the dead mans
brother, Joseph Gropsky, who is under ar
rest.
All the men arrested worked in Lock-
hart's mill, and their names are: Joseph Hig-
gins, Joseph Gropsky, Anthony Murra, John
Mulick, John Saloskey, Frank and Peter
Schmidt, William Skinder, Joseph Ar
mosh, John Anduiia, John Ohes and j.
Bolscious.
A post mortem will be held this morning,
and later in the day the inquest will be
opened.

IT DREW FOURTEEN.
Single Tax Leaguers Hold Another
Meeting With More Success,
AS THE ATTENDANCE WASLARGER.
Discussion Turned on the Effect of the Tax
on the Cost of Rents.
PRESIDENT GOaPERs RETURNS HOME

Adherents Of the single tax doctrine are
not very many in this city, to judge from
the sparse attendance at the meetings of the
League. There was, however, an improve
ment in the number at last nights meeting
in the hall at GA Fourth avenue. The at
tendance was twice as large as at the meet
ing two weeks ago. There were IA people
present.
The topic set down for discussion was the
effect of the single tax in lowering house
rents and the cost of building sites. Mr..
Edmund Yardley, President OF the league,
occupied the chair. Arguments advanced
in favor of the view set up ran along the
line that the cost of sites and the consequent
cost of buildings and their rents were in
proportion to value of the improvements.
1t was urged that speculation in land
held for time resulted in excessive values
being placed on available sites by reason of
their demand for lots. and that if the
public were permitted access to property
now tied up under legal conditions that
rents would be much lower, because of the
greater amount of buildings made available.
An attack was made on the policy under
which the Schenley estate was held, permit
ting no opportunity of exchanging the old
houses at the Point for buildings better suited
to modern requirements. Mr.. Sharp, in
lengthy argument. attempted to demonstrate
that the application of the single tax would
result in improving the condition of labor
by supplying 1t with cheaper houses.
Mr.. Cal Wyatt explained that he was not
there as an advocate OF the single tax doc
trine. He thought it might be all very we'll
in its way under certain conditions The
Chairman wanted other persons present to
join in the discussion, but NO general re-
sponse was made

SURPRISING THE POLES.
INSPECTOR MKELveY SAYS THEY ARE
TOO NOISY.

He Raids Two of Their Saturday Night Re.
.orts-Fathcr NIiskiewicz Excuses His
People-A Big Sunday Morning Hearing
on the Southside.
Yesterday mornings hearing at the Twen-
ty-cighth ward police station was the largest
in the history of the Southside. Magistrate
Succop disposed of 81 cases, and his receipts
from fines ran up to S541 40. One gambling
house and two disorderly ones contributed
the greater portion of this amount, and the
Polish were largely in the majority in re-
gard TO the nationality of the prisoners.
Inspector McKelvey has been worried
more or less ever since he has been located
on the Southside with this class of people.
He is authority for the statement that they
congregate IN their houses nearly every
Saturday night, after laying in a supply of
beer-sometimes eight OF ten kegs-and
spend the night in drinking and lighting.
The Inspector has tried every reasonable
way possible to have their carousing stopped.
He visited Father Miskiewicz, of the Polish
congregation, once or twice and tried TO
have him teach his people that they must
live like other American people, or abide
by the consequences of the law. The usual
Saturday night brawls subsided for time,
but commenced again two or three weeks
ago.
On Saturday night Inspector McKelvey
gave out orders to the police to raid all dis
orderly houses As result house on
Cabot WAY, between South Sixth and Sew
enth streets, kept by George Repoliski, and
another at 1906 Muriel street, were cleaned
out about midnight. The proprietors of both
places and 13 inmates were arrested. Repo-
liski was fined 500 and costs, and the pro-
prietor of the other house, who refused to
give his name, was let of with $50 and costa.
The inmates were fined from $40 to $25
apiece, and, to the surprise OF the Magistrate
and the police officials, every man paid his
fine.
A house on the upper end Of the South
side, kept by Charles Ayres, was raided, and
the proprietor and six inmates were ar
rested. A game was found in full blast in
the house, and the proprietor was held for
court on a charge of keeping gambling
house. The players were each fined S25
and costs.
A DISPATCH reporter called upon Father
Miskiewicz, rector of the Polish church on
South Fifteenth street, last night, for the
purpose of learning what he would say in
behalf of his peoplee He admitted that
some of them drank too much, but it was
owing to the customs under which they had
been reared in the old country. He said
the longer they remained here the more
Americanized they became, and many of
them make good citizens. Inspector Nc
Kelvey was seen again. He said it was not
his desire to persecute the Polish people, but
so many complaint Is had been made against
them that he was compelled to take some
action, and that he proposes now that they
shall keep more quiet Saturday nights.

PECULIAR RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
Freight Car on the Fort Wayne With
Only One Truck.

only One Truck.
An accident occurred in the yards Of the
Fort Wayne Railroad yesterday that
seriously affected the automatic switches.
About o'clock freight train, bound west,
was running at high speed to ascend the
grade through the Allegheny Parks. When
near the Marion avenue crossing a brake
beam on a coke car dropped down and
caught frog, which threw the hind trucks
of the car from the rails. The wheels
snapped the ties, and, in jumping over
them. ran on the outside of the track and
over lever rod that operator the automatic
switches, smashing it and rendering the
machinery useless.
The train sped on, and at Marion avenue
the trucks of the car flew out from under it
and off to one side of the street. The draw
head, however, hello the car in place, and
about so yards beyond Marion avenue the
train was brought to standstill, with but
two cars off the track and nobody hurt 1t
took several hours to remove the blockade
and again put the west-bound track In
operation. The most serious damage was
done to the switches, which will have to be
operated in the old way until the break can
be repaired.

SLOW FREIGHT MOVEMENT.

More Than a Week Needed to Garry Traffic
From Harrisburg to This City,

contracts" said freight agent last evening.
"Plenty of orders placed on the books in
July and August have not yet been reached.
never saw anything like 1t. This pros
perity booms the railroad business, but cars
are so scarce that we can't move the freight.
To show how slowly freight is moved
these days a gentleman received bill of
lading a week ago by mail from Harrisburg,
and statement from the Pennsylvania
road that the goods had been received.
Yesterday the freight had not arrived, and
the cashier at the Duquesne sta
tion informed him that sufficient
time had not elapsed for it to get here. The
distance is only $50 miles. but if it requires
more than a week to get over that distance
with freight by rail, any form of transporta-
tion by water would be acceptable Busi-
ness men are complaining of these delays,
but the officials argue that it is impossible
to handle the traffic more rapidly.
