have kept one of the mostinviting places on the
Southside.
Mr.. Schaefer was the son of John Nichol
Schaefer, who for many years ran brewery in
the Southside Diamond The family came to
Pittsburg, the day the big fire occurred in 1915
The deceased leaves a wife and three children.

Patrol Station. No. Z; his sister Annie is the

The most serious question which the police
of Pittsburg have had TO wrestle with for 48
hours, then, has been apparently an invisible
fraud. The case will be handed over to the
Coroner to-day as one of those mysterious dis

DISCUSSING THE GLASS SCALE,

The Manufacturers still Shy on Account of
the O'Hara Decision.
The members of the Flint Glass Manufact-
urers Scale Committee will meet to-day at the
Hotel Anderson to discuss the scale and other
matters pertaining to the trade The members
of the committee are d. c. Ripley and Captain
James Anderson, of this city, r. j. Beatty, of
Tifin, O., w. K. Ellison OF Martins Ferry, and
James Gillender, of Philadelphia.
The new scale has been in operation since

ing under union rules. There is a general IN
disposition on the part of the members of the
committee to sign the scale, and the union has
not pressed the matter. The reason given by
the m embers is said to be on account of the de-
cision of the court in the case of the O'Hara
Company against the union. The court decid-
ed that the scale was written agreement, and
the contract could not be broken by either side
without notice.

ARGUING THE SHEEHAN CASE,
Tho Skeleton of the Birrhmark Trotted Into
Court Again.

The arguments in the Sheehan case were
heard by Judge Hawkins in the Supreme Court
yesterday. Attorneys Lazear and Weiss repre-
sented Miss Julia Mitchell. or Mary Sheehan
Messrs. Williams and Shields appeared for
Michael Gibbons, who contests the alleged
daughters claim.
The story is an old one. Thomas Sheehan. a
resident of Sharpsburg died in 1857 leaving, it
was thought. no children. Julia Mitchell of
New Castle, claimed to be his daughter. giving
as proofs of her identity birthmark she bore
Attorneys Lazear and Weiss, in their argu-
ment, presented the marks of Identification
and all the testimony in their favor. and con-
tended that in truth the girl was the daughter
of Thomas Sheehan. Messrs. Williams and
Shields argued that the Sheehan child had died
in Hamilton. They also questioned the proof
as to Mrs. Sheehan's marriage with Thomas
Sheehau. III regard to the birthmark, they
doubted if Mrs. Sheehan had ever seen ii, as
she had only had the child nine days. The girl
who attended her did not remember anything
of the mark, and there were no other witnesses
who did. The Court took the papers.

THE DOORS REMAIN LOCKED.
Allegheny Councils Still Fighting Over the
CarneRie Library.

Carnegie Library.
At special meeting of Allegheny Councils
last night an ordinance was presented granting
salary of 81, 500 to the Building Inspector.
Councilman Cochran bitterly opposed the bill,
and it failed to pass for want of legal major
ity. A number of ordinances fo- frame build
ings were then passed, and then the ordinance
creating the Public Library Committee was
brought up. 1t had failed for want of legal
majority at the last meeting, and.as there were
only II members present last night, he said it
would require but three votes to kill the bill
and keep the library closed for an indefinite
time He kindly asked the kckers on the
librarians salary to come down off their hob
bies and allow the people to have the benefit of
Mr. Carnegies gift. 1t was even proposed to
do away with the assistant librarian until the
income from the library would pay for
one. Then the question of keeping the
library open on Sunday was brought up
and disputed. 1t was of no avail. The men
were tied to their hobbies, and the vote stood
10 ayes to noes.
A number of minor ordinances were then
passed. and, after several new ones were offered
and referred to the committees, Councils ad-
journed.

The motion to quash the capias issued for
the arrest of the defendants in the case of T.
NJ. Latimer against Edward Groetzinger and
Constable Billings, so far as it concerned Mr..
Groetzinger, was argued yesterday before
Judges Stowe and Slage. Messrs Fetterman
and Whitesell represented MIR. Groetzinger
and Messrs. Ferguson and Imbrie opposed the
motion on behalf of MIR. Latimer. 1t was con-
tended that copias could not be served on a
freeholder to require him to give bail in suit
for damages. even when he is Joined with
person not property owner. The act of l725
was cited to show that such a writ, when issued
against freeholder Joined with another per-
son, must be abated as to the freeholder
Messrs. Ferguson and Imbrie maintained
that the feeholder,. Joined with another,
thereby lost his privilege, and a joint bond
could be requIrdd. Common Pleas decisions
from Philadelphia were referred to In defense
of the position. There has never been Su-
preme Court decision on the matter. however,
and the Court decided to release Mr.. Groet-
zinger but required Constable Billings to give
a bond in the sum of $500.

A MATTER or BUSINESS.

Considerable comment was caused
here the past week by the manner in
which our Peoria CORES pondent wrote
in last weeks News concerning people
of this town who he imagines have
spoken disparagingly Of the new min.

how lie could conscientionsly write as
he did when the people of Baxter
Springs We may say unanimously
manifest spirit Of friendiness for the
new town Of Peoria and speak as If
they did not care if every person who
goes there would at once become a
millionaire. When our correspondent
goes so far as to berate his Baxter
friends for not rushing down to Peoria
and spending their money he makes
mistake. He and others there may
know beyond doubt that big mineral
may be found anywhere about Peoria
at depth Of say twenty feet, but if
people here or elsewhere do not care to
invest, even when fortune thus stares
them in the face, it should be 10 mat
ter to him and he should not speak in
sultingly Of them for so doing. lie
should know that it is simply matter
of business and as different business
men have different business views on
different business undertakings he
should know that really it is none OF
his business whether Bakers bust
ness men so into the mining business
at Peoria or not. Business is business
We have yet TO hear man in BaX-
ter Springs speak discouragingly of
the Peoria mines. All seem TO hope
that big mineral will be found and
that those who do invest there will
prosper and grow rich.
