With Terry In the pitchers box for the
Brooklyn IN. L. Club the Philadelphia team
for two innings gave the home players about
as much leather chasing as they desired on
tho Washington Park grounds yesterday.
They hai their eye on the ball and good clean
hitting was the result, but this came TO an end
alter the second inning, for 1t was deemed ad-
yisahie to substitute Lovett for Terry, and the
change came in at tho right time. Lovett was
almost invincihIe. and for the last six innings
he kent the visitors batting down TO two soli-
ta,y hits. He also had splendid command OF
tho ball. 1t was good uphill battle on tho
Iart OF the home players, and the many pretty
plays they made brought applause from tho
attendance. The fielding was remarkably
clever. Smith, Plnkney. Allen, and Myers each
making difficult plays. Burke distinguished

WANTS HIS BOUNTY MONEY.
AN OLD SOLDIER SAYS HE WILL SUE THE
CITY FOR IT.

There May be Run on the Treasury on Ac.
count of Recent Act Of Assembly
Story of the Re- Emil, tment of an AIIe-
gheninn.
Controller Morrow received q visit from a
citizen of Allegheny yesterday afternoon
which gave him a slight shock. The cause
was a statement from the Allegheny gentle
man of his intention to sue the city for sew
eral hundred dollars due him as a bounty,
earned during the war as a volunteer. The
Controller refused to give the gentleman's
name, but said that he based his statement on
an enabling act passed by the Legislature Of
this State at its last session, and which. he
says. is printed on page l23 of the pamphlet
laws of 1889. A copy of the laws of 1889 could
not be found about City Hail. and the Control
Ter knows nothing about the act in question
except what the gentlemen told him yesterday,
and that was that soldiers who enlisted in 1864
and thereafter when bounties were being paid,
but who were credited to cities, boroughs or
townships where bounties were not offered
could sue such city, borough or township. and
recover the average amount of bounty money
being offered in neighboring localities at the
date of enlistment.
The case of the Allegheny gentleman was as
follows: He enlisted in 1861 in Company A, One
Hundred and Thirty-ffth Regiment, Volun-
listment expired he was at Raleigh, II. C.,
where he re-enlsted. and. knowing that the
Fourth ward, Allegheny City, was paving a
bounty of $500, he asked the enrolling officer to
credit him to that ward A few weeks later he
was captured by the rebels, and confined in the
Andersonville prison, where be remained until
the close OF the war. Upon his release he re-
turned te Allegheny, and sent for hrs certificate
of service to the War Department. When the
certificate arrived he found that he was credit
ed not to the Fourth ward, Allegheny, but to
the city of Pttsburg. Consequently he could
do nothing toward securing his bounty because,
while the majority of the separate wards of the
CITY, and the boroughs and townships around
her, were paying bounties of from 5000 to $500,
the city proper had offered none, and would pay
none.i
The gentleman claims that under the act of
1859 he can sue the city and recover the average
amount of bounty, or about S7O0 and says he
intends to try it The Controller says that if
such an act is in existence and is put into force
there will be big run on the city's treasury, as
there are great many soldiers who went out
with the expectation of securing bounries. and
who, by reason of mistakes in the enrolment,
never received cent of the money promised.

STUCK IN THE MUD.
THE AWFUL CONDITION OF THE sUPE.
RIOR STREET FILL.

An Indignation Meeting to be Held Over
Ctrizens Cannot Understand the Delay
Almost Impossible TO Rench TEeir
Homes.
The citizens of the Eleventh ward, ALLIE
gheny, will hold an indignation meeting to-
morrow night at the ward school house. It
is all on account of the condition of Cali
fornia avenue and Superior street, where
California avenue is being opened. Placards
announcing the meeting were placed all over
the ward yesterday morning. They were
headed: "Frightfulr' "Great Danger of Fire
and Scknessr'
Mr.. Gilbert FoIlansbee, Superintendent of
the Chamber OF Commerce, explained the
trouble yesterday, as follows: AT California
avenue and Superior street fill of II feet is
being made. 1t has already been filled eight
feet and the work has been stopped. We WHO
live up there are left in the mud on Saturday
buggy stuck in the mud and could hardly be
gotten out. Yesterday two young ladies were
driving up there and one Of them had to get
out and hold the horse. She sank in
is Impossible @ % to get through. and we want
to know If we will have to put up
with this all winter. In order to catch q car
have to dodge through several squares instead
of simply crossing the street. do not blame
the contractors. The delay has been caused by
the city not rem owing the gas and water pipes
Something must be done before winter"
Robert McAfee. of the Eleventh ward, who
is Chairman of the Committee on Streets and
Sewers. was interviewed last night and said 1t
was impossible to continue the work at present.
Said he: "The nil is made of a loose sandy loan.
and the unusual rainfall has made it impossible
to get wagons over the present fill. The ground
is too soft to bear any weight at present, ana
until it settles nothing can be DONE We can
not do anything until the ground is solid
enough to allow wagons to pass"

AFRAID OF ELECTROCUTION.

How the Kemmler Affair Affected the Mind
of Ca, peDter.
There are seven crazy men in the jail at
present. and at times the place gives one the
impression that it Is a branch insane asylum.
One man was received yesterday named John
Kelleher, who has strange hallucination. He
thinks the authorities are trying to electrocute
him, and is always trying to break away from
the imaginary electrical machines. which he
says are holding him down. 1t is supposed his
insanity was caused by reading the accounts of
the Kemmler electrocution in New York. The
man is a carpenter, and will likely be sent to
Dixmont. Another insane man is Frank Nc
Dermott, who was committed yesterday as
vagrapt
Many Aldermen commit insane persons to
the Jail when they should be sent to Dixmont.
They send them to Warden Berlin as the
easiest way to get rid of them.

Williamsburg is one of the liveliest suburbs

borough, with the expectation of being COM

going up in all directions there should be moth

thoroughfares of the borough, too, are in proc

end to another Unfortunately the work of

such state Of mire and desolation as at pres
ent The residents do not complain very
much. however. They know that the incon-
venlence is only temporary, and that when the
work is completed the borough will be one of
the handsomest residence districts within ten
miles of Pittsburg
Said Wood street merchant to DISPATCH
representative last evening: Yes, there is con-
siderable mud about the Streets and the piles
of building material do not LOOK very pleasing
But then, there have been scores of houses put
up in Williamsburg this summer, and the town
is growing as fast as one of those Western
towns we hear SO much about. Then the
churches. There is hardly one in the borough
that is not being improved in some way, and
there are two new and handsome churches to
be erected at once. Yes. SIR there is great
deal OF mud, but Williamsburg is booming, and
that pays us for everything"

The proposed Citizens Water Company for
the Southside an exclusive mention of which

day night. bids were received from several
firms on the cost of constructing a water works.
The bids were referred to a committee Tor

the point where they could talk intelligently
about their plans. but that the company might
