The City Treasurer Renominated With
Gusto and by AccIamation.
The convention to nominate or rather re-
nominate Major F. Joseph Denniston as City
Treasurer, assembled in Council chamber
last night and DR.. McCord called the meet
ing to order, while Squire Robert Lindsay
and David R. Terrence were the. secretaries,
The temporary organization was made per-
manent, and Clarence Burleigh placed the
Majors name in nomination for Treasurer
in few apt and pleasant sentences.
Edward Jenkins seconded the nomination
aud Major Denniston responded in the most
touching manner on being introduced to the
committee. He said he was glad that he
had been successful in making the unpleas-
ant task Of paying taxes as easy as possible,
as was shown by his repeated denomination.
The cost now to collect the three millions of
Pittsburg's taxes is but 81, 600 more than it
was Is years ago. More room, however,
he said, would be required for the Office, and
he proposed to recommend that more room
be allowed for the convenience of tax payers.
He concluded by thanking them again for
the honor done him and the confidence re-
posed in him and said he proposed to do ali
in his power to merit the confidence in the
future, as had been his endeavor in the past
The Major and his delegates then ad-
journed to the Duquesne Hotel where very
fine collation. was spread for their entertain
ment. 1t was one of the most artistic

of any candidate for civic honors.

three years; that valuable permanent improve
ments have been made; many evils have been
suppressed, and the safeguards OF the life and
property of citizens have been brought to a
higher state of efficiency than ever before in
the history of the city.
That the thanks of citizens are due TO Mrs.
Schenley for her generous gift of land for
public park; and il is the sense OF this conven-
tion that the City Councils should provide
judicious appropriations for the Improvement
of this property, which will be a public pleas
ure ground within easy access of al our people.
IN FAVOR OF FREE BRIDGES.
That all highways within the city, including
bridges, should be free and we demand legis-
lation that; will enable the city to build new
bridges that shall be free, or to acquire the
ownership of the bridges now in use on reason
able and just terms, and to make appropria-
tions therefor.
That the proposition OF the Democratic men,
bers of the Senate of the United States to ap-
propr1ate SIS 000, 900 to deport colored fellow
citizens to Africa meets with the sternest con-
demnation. There is no color line or race
Limitation in the rights of citizenship AMI the

The resolutions, as in all the other con-
VentionS, were unanimously adopted.

The State Convention of Master House
Painters and Decorators Associations, being
held at Reading, was opened yesterday
morning at 10 o'clock. R. c. Miller, John
Stulen, Jr., and Titus Berger, the Pittsburg
delegates, left here on Monday. Many
matters of a technical nature will be dis
cussed. 1t is expected that the eight-hour
law will be talked over, SO that the associa-
tion may be prepared to meet that question
if it should come up next spring. So far no
demand has been made by the workers, and
the employers are non-committal on the
subject.
Preparations are now being made for the
National Convention of the Master Painters
of the United States, which will be held in
the city of Detroit on February IL, II and
13. Representatives from all over the
country will be present. The delegates
from this city will be Messrs. Titus Berger,
G. G. O'Brien and John S. B. Mercer. 1t

the proposed eight-hour law some consider
alton.

RIGHT OF WAY GRANTED.

Good Prospects for Road and Steps Up
Duquesne Heights.
Another meeting Of the Thirty-ffth ward
citizens was held last night at the Grand
View Rink, Duquesne Heights, and the
project to erect board walk and steps up
the hill was discussed. The committee re.
ported that the right OF way had been
granted them over the property OF Mr..
Walls and Mr.. Joyce. On account of legal
distractions in the way, Mr.. Nimick could
not give them the privilege to cross his
property, although it would have given
them a shorter route to Carson street. AS
it is they will be able to reach that street,
but they will be compelled to go 125 feet
east of the Point bridge.
The committee reported that the sub
scription list was greatly increased, and a
motion was made to continue the same COM
mittee, and a meeting for next Tuesday
night was arranged. Five hundred dodgers
were ordered printed and distributed, so as
have as large meeting as possible on the
next night.
The citizens are quite happy since the
right of way has been secured, and the
chances that enough money will be SUBJ
scribed and the plans completed in a short
time. There is some talk about building q
wagon and foot road to the top of the hill.
Many are ready to subscribe to secure one.
Information has been received that the city
has received an offer to build such a road,
with retaining wall if necessary, all for

Chicago Electricians Had to Come Here %
Get Pointers.
A telegraph dispatch from Chicago pub
hshed yesterday announced that the West
ern Union Telegraph Company had done
away with the old style zinc and copper
battery, and would use dynamos in future
to run their lines. 1t was stated that the
Chicago Office was the first to try the expert
ment.
The item is incorrect, as Pittsburg can
claim the honor Of being the first city to
make the experiment. An official of the
Western Union Company was interviewed
yesterday, and In regard to the matter, said:
The report is incorrect. as the Pittsburg
telegraph office in the world running without
cell of battery, all the work being done by
dynamos. The pant was started August la
1888, and has been running ever since Being
success. the same system has been adopted By
Chicago.
The experiment on a small scale referred 20
as having taken taken place in New York was
OF considerable extent, as they there replaced
$1,000 cells of battery with dynamOs. That was
ten years ago. Two years ago when they out
grew the old plant they replaced il with new
one Of a capacity probably equal to 100000
cells. The currents are only used on the main
lines Pittsburg went step further by intro
ducing machines not only for main lines, but
Ior local instruments and city service as well
tnus covering every branch Of the telegraph
service, The Chicago electricians spent some
time at the Pittsburg office getting pointers on
tI tne SUBJECT before they commenced work on
their own plant"

Kept in His Old Kennel by the Popular
Voice.
Old City Hall was the scene of Controller
Morrow's denomination, and every district
was represented, as if to emphasize the wish
of the people universally to retain a tried
and faithful servant. George Sheppard,
City Clerk, called the convention to order
and John j. Davis and Benjamin Peterson
were chosen secretaries. The temporary
organization was made permanent and
Charles Schwarm nominated E. S. Morrow
to again fill the Office of Controller as worth
lily and ably as he has already done. W.
A. Magee seconded the nomination in terms
of earnest commendation for Mr.. Morrow's
services and the nomination was made unan-
imous.
Controller Morrow was too much affected
by the earnest manner in which his services
were indorsed to say much, and in voice
broken with emotion, said:
have been trying to do as have thought to
be right. and if you have seen proper to NOM
mate me again, I will try to do my best Words
can but teebly express my feelings to those
who have given so substantial recognition of
my sevices and the only method in which can
repay you is to pursue the path have laid out
and perform my duty as honestly and as fear
lesslY as my conscience and my will dictate.
The convention adjourned to the Seventh
Avenue Hotel where fine hot supper was
served to the delegates in the dining room,
and the Controller entertained his friends in
royal STYLE

Henry Sprung, of CHARTERS Township, had
His Head Torn on:
Henry Sprung, young man residing in
CHARTERS borough, vas instantly killed by
the accidental discharge OF a shotgun about
6 o'clock last evening. 1t appears he had
been lying on a sofa reading in a room ad-
joining that in which his two sisters were
prepa ring supper. He had been talking a
few moments before about a hunting trip
which he was to take part in to-day, and
when his sisters left the room, it is sup
posed, he arose with the intention of ex-
amining his shotgun, which stood in a cor
ner at one side of the room. When the
sisters heard the report of the gun and
hastily entered, he was lying on the floor in
close proximity to the wall, with the entire
left side of his head blown of. How the
accident really occurred will never be
known. The victim was only % years of
age, and universally respected by everyone
in the vicinity.
In police circles the opinion prevails that
the man committed suicide. The Coroner
will investigate the matter further, though
Coroner's Clerk Grant Miller thinks the
death was accidental.

AN EXPENSIVE MISTAKE.

Water From a Rain Scene In the Bijou
Injuries HOrne's Silk Stock.
What might have proved to be most ex-
pensive rain storm passed over the silk de-
partment of Joseph Horne's store on Mon
day night. The entire atmospheric
disturbance took place within the walls of
the building, being part of the play
"White Slave" performed this week at the
Bijou.
Real water is used in the rain scene, and
is supposed to be carried off by funnel
shaped arrangement of tarpauIin in one of
the traps leading to a large barrel under
meath. By some neglect the nozzle of this
funnel was lett to hang alongside of the
barrel instead of in it, and when "the tor
rents poured" they spread over a consider
able area of floor just above the valuable
silk department of the Horne store, and
began to filter through. As luck would
have it some gentlemen connected with the
store were engaged in the department at the
time, and speedily removed the stock beyond
reach of the destroying element, but the
ceiling was irreparably injured and will
have to be replaced entirely at possible cost
of $500

An Offer of $500, 900 Made for the Property
for Business Site.
1t was rumored in real estate circles yester-
day that an offer had been made for the
Second Presbyterian Church property, cor
ner Penn avenue and Seventh street, and the
trustees were considering the advisability of
selling the place. A call was made last
night on DR.. Sutherland, pastor of the
church, at his home on Cliff street, ALLIE
ghcny. He said in regard to the matter:
"There was an offer of 5000, 900 made for
the property, but the matter was not con-
sidered at all. 1 do not know who made the
offer, but understand it was a large drygoods
house. do not think the congregation
would take $500, 900 for the property on ac4
count of its central location. If the church
was sold do not know of another place
we could locate that would suit us as we'll
as the present site. The people in the par
ish come from all directions of the city, and
the church is in a central location. 1 do
not think there is any probability of the
church being Sold"

The PittsburR Traction Road Reduces the

The Pittsburg Traction road yesterday
posted notices in their cars to the effect that
or and after February 1, the fare to East
Liberty would be reduced to 8 cents.
President Elkins, in speaking of the cut
yesterday said: 1.-THE reduction was not
made because the Citizens line reduced
their fare. We have long had such move
In contemplation, and we did it, because we
thought the public demanded it. We are
always willing to accommodate the people,
Hereafter the ticket system will be
abandoned. There will be no rates less than
cents. don't think the earnings of the

will more than make up for the reduction in
rates

His Dogs and Sheep Left to Mourn Over
Their Old Master.
An inquest was held yesterday on the
body of William S. Patterson, who died
from injuries received by falling into ket-
tie of scalding water Saturday. A verdict
of accidental death was rendered.
Patterson was nearly go years of age, and
had worked for nearly all the butchers in
Allegheny. His specially was driving
sheep. He had sheep that thoroughly un-
derstood its business and was the leader in
all of "Billy's" sheep drives from the stock
yards to the slaughter pens. He also
owned several dogs that were driv-
ers and could manage a flock of
sheep as we'll as a man. Whenever
there was danger of stampede the leader
would give his "ba!' "bap' and run ahead
of the flock. The dogs would circle around
the animals and by barking and swapping
at them prevent them from running off.

Mr.. Charles Berger, workman employed

injured in the Lake Erie tunnel at Twenty
sixth street, Southside, about 6 o'clock last
evening, being struck by locomotive. He
lives in the Twenty-fourth ward, and had

had been living there some time when noticed
by the engineer of the west-bound express.
He was taken to the Southside Hospital.
He will hardly recover.
Late last night DR.. J. B. Grimes, the
hospital physician, added a sensational
feature to the case by stating that the man
must have met with his injury by some
other means, as being struck by a loco
motive could not cause the wounds found
upon him. The matter will be investigated
by the police. He thinks the man was MUIR

Cars.
Traffic on the local trains of the P. r. R.
has increased very much in the past week
or so. Railroad men are of the opinion that
this is caused by the objection most people
have to riding in street cars in cold weather,
The ever opening doors and their generally
crowded condition is very uncomfortable
experience to those who are fond of comfort.
1t is also believed in some quarters that this
Election of traffic from the cable lines to the
Pennsylvania road has had the effect of hur-
rying the Citizens line into reducing their
fares some time before originally intended.
