be on that side of the river. Therefore the
fight was desperate one and resulted in H.

A BROKEN CABLE

Causes Great Deal of Trouble on the
Middle Division of the Fifth Avenue
Line-Repaired and the Cars Moving
Late at Night.
A broken cable on the middle division of
the Fifth avenue cable line, between
Washington street and Oakland, at
o'clock last evening, while people were
en- route to the theaters and other places of
amusement, caused great deal of trouble
among the suburban residents of the city.
The travel was unusually large and in ad-
dition the road was heavy because of the
snow. The cable parted on the turn wheel
entering the power house at Oakland. Men
were set to work at once to make splice,
but the work is laborious and Car Dis
patcher Mcdowell by great effort managed
to repair the break by IL o'clock and re-
sumed operations
In the meantime the passengers coming
from East Liberty were sent back from
Oakland and transferred to the Penn ave-
nue. line, and from there came to the city.
On this side of Oakland the patrons OF the
road walked.

AN IMPORTANT MISSION FULFILLED.
How Young Lady Secured Mary Ander-

How Young Lady Secured Mary Ander-
sons Brothers Autograph.
A petite young lady, to whose pretty face
a pair of eyeglasses gave peculiar piquan-
cy, startled one of the ushers at the
Duquesne Theater last night by excitedly
asking i! Mary Andetson's brother was in
the house. Fearing come dramatic develop
ments from the frank admission that the
gentleman in question was in the house,
being in charge of Lawrence Barrett's in
terests, he denied his presence, whereupon
the young lady handed him an enormous
autograph album, with request to present
the same to Mr.. Anderson Ior signature at
the earliest opportunity.
After every act she left her seat IN the
front row to inquire if her request had been
granted, until, just before the last act, she
returned wreathed in smiles, with the album
under her arm. The question next arising
is: Now she has it, what is she going to do
with il?

IT WAS A COMPROMISE.

Valley Furnace Secures Reduction on the
Price of Coke.
MaboDing and Shenango furnace owners
received notice yesterday that after Janu-
ary l the price of coke will be ST 80 ton.
This is compromise on prices, as the
furnace men had demanded reduction of 40
cents ton. The reduction of 25 cents was
decided upon by the H. c. Frck and j. NJ.
Schoonmaker coke companies. and prospects
are brighter for the valley producers OF pig
iron. -
This rate is only made for January, and it
can hardly be expected that coke will be
sold for less than 50 during February and
March,

DISAPPOINTED SCOTS.

No Concert in Carnegie Hall Because No
One Paid the Rental.
The concert advertised to be given in Car
negie Hall by the Balmoral Choir, last
night, did not take place. 1t appears that
nobody paid the required rental for the
hall, and in consequence it was not lighted
nor the doors opened.
The holders OF tickets, 10 the number of
one dozen, inquired the reason of the hail
employees but could get no satisfaction, as
the employees knew nothing about 1t. None
one of the promoters of the enterprise and
none of the choir put in an appearance dur
ing the evening.

STOPPING CHINESE IMMIGRATION.

Three Councilmen Decide That the Celes-
tials Are Not SO Bad After All.
A petition to Congress asking for
favorable action on the Morrow exclusion
act is being circulated in Pittsburg for sig-
natures. The petition closes by the state
ment: at would seem that the elaborate
reasons heretofore so fully set forth as to the
necessity and justice of such measure
hardly require repetition here, so fully sat-
isfied are the people at large of the
deleterious influences e1erted by them as a
race among our most thrifty and upright
citizens"
One of these petitions found its way into
the City Clerks Office yesterday. Council
men Holiday, Ferguson and Finn were in
the room, and they refused to sign, as they
believed there were worse people than the
Chinese in this country.

122 cases, several of which have occupied
day each. The ones that take time are those
where the interpreters services are needed.
County Detective Beltzhooyer states these
cases occupy five or six times as much time
as similar ones do, where all talk English.
One thing that expedites business con-
siderably is that the District Attorney drops
case promptly, as soon as it is apparent
that it cannot be sustained, and Judge Stowe
agrees with him.

Or, if you buy your groceries from some one
grocer because he is your friend and you are
afraid you will "hurt his feelings if you buy

Charity and Friendship are two qualities
of mankind much less common than they
should be, and the man who is willing to in
vest his money in Charity and Friendship
has certainly attained high plane of self
sacrifice.
Ordinary people. who have to hustle for
all the filthy luere they get, sometimes
think charity begins at home and skirmish

We are quite ordinary ourselves. so. OF
course, it is the ordinary people we are after.
