Mr.. S. V. Sheffner of Chicago, who is
to put in the machinery of our butter
and cheese factory, arrived in the city
Tuesday afternoon. There has been a
delay somewhere, however, in the ma
chinery which left Chicago last Friday,
bnt it is expected every day. 1t will be
about six days after the machinery
arrives until the factory will be ready
to be put in operation. Mr.. A. o.
Barnes, the expert butter maker who
is to give instructions for time, is also
here and of course the factory will
doubtless be put in operation the mo-
ment the machinery is in.

THROWN OVER A BLUFF.
An Accident ON Spring Hill Which May Cause
One Death.


One Death.
Mrs. Henry Turner and her daughter
Mary fell over bluff on Spring Hill, ALLIE
gheny. yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Turner
had her spine injured and the daughter is
not expected to live. Mr.. Turner is mar
ket gardener on Spring Bill, and his wife
and daughter started out to dispose of some
OF the produce. They tried to stop their
horse in front of the house of Mrs. Koehler,
near the foot of Spring street. The horse
commenced to back, and in an instant horse,
wagon and occupants were rolling down the
bluff to Winter street, distance of 60 feet.
The wagon struck Mrs. Turner, seriously
iDjuring her back and spine, while
the poor girl was crushed under the
weight of the dying horse. DR..
P. W. Heron was summoned, and
the mother and daughter were removed to
cred somewhat, but the girl began vomiting
blood, and 1t is feared she cannot recover.
Both of the women were terribly bruised.
They say they will sue the city for dam
ages.
The place where the accident oc-
Cured is terribly dangerous. Winter street
runs up Spring Hill from East street and
Spring street starts from it about third of
the distance up, and takes q zig-zag course
along the brow of the hill. 1t is little more
than a mountain path, being only about
ten feet wide, and absolutely unprotected.
At the point where the accident happened
there is sheer descent of 60 feet to Winter
street, and from there it is about 100 feet
down to East street. Along its whole
length Spring street is unprotected, al
though in some places the bluffs are over
100 feet high.

BRIGHT DREAMS BLlGHTED.

Two Norfhumb erland County Girls Come TO
PitisburR to See Life-Their Protector
vanishes and Leaves Them in Want
Will be Sent Home This Morning.
Efie and Mamie Breed, two sweet-faced
girls from Milton, Northumberland county,
will leave for their homes this morning sat-
isfed that life in great city has not the
brilliant charms they dreamed. The one is
18 years old and dark, the other II and fair.
Both think that the summer song of their
existence has gotten mixed up with chilli
ing blast, and they are willing to bid fare
we'll forever to bright shops and electric
lights and only leave their record as a.warn-
ing to country girls not to come to the city
without responsible protector.
Both the girls are we'll dressed and their
parents are well-to-do. A brakeman on the
Pittsburg and Western and friend of the
family induced the girls to come to Pitts
burg under. his protection. They arrived
here early in July and took room at the
residence OF Mr.. Scott, on Monterey street,
Allegheny. They took their meals at a
boarding house on the same street, Cory
saying he would be responsible for every
thing.
The girls failed to get work and the
brakeman failed to produce any coin. The
boarding house keeper howied for money,
but none was forthcoming. She then went
to Alderman Braun, of Allegheny, to make
charge of conspiracy against the girls.
As soon as the Magistrate saw the girls he
refused to take the information, but took
the girls. He did not know what to do
with them, as they had no money, and he
has paid their bills out of his own pocket
for several days.
In the meantime he referred their case to
Agent O'Brien of the Humane Society.
After considerable work transportation was
secured for them, and they will be sent
back home this morning.

are living in regal luxury and splendor.
They have their grip on every good thing in
the State and the trend of money in Montana
is always Helenaward. The town has no
visible means of support. There are
no manufactures, and the mines in
the ueighborhood are no longer worked to
any great extent The tourist wonders at
first whence came the magnificent rows of
houses and the apparent opulence of every
body, but if he stays around for time and
is observant he will soon discover that the
whole State pays tribute to its capital.
Those who go to Helena are always told
the story of Last Chance Gulch. A COM
pany of miners in the early days had pros
pected in vain, and broken in spirit and
pocket, they concluded to give up their
weary search for gold. Alter they had
camped for the night, one of the men in
sheer desperation was digging in the ground,
absent-mindedIy, with stick, and thinking
OF the dear ones at home, when suddenly a
bright spot caught his eve. He pulled it
out; it was a nugget The rest is easily
told, and they all made fortunes.

PARK RAILWAY FIGHT
Suit Entered Against the Squirrel
Hill Company for
TEARING UP TIE CITY PROPERTY
Big Oil Gusher in CHARTERS Township
Starts Legal Row.
STORY OF A DAT IN THE E'coURT ROOMS

A bill in equity was filed yesterday by
the City of Pittsburg against 1.-THE Squirrel
Hill Railroad Company and James Benny,
receiver. The bill outlines that the de-
fendant company is engaged in laying rail-
road tracks on the private property of the
city, known as Schenley Park, and at points
that would prove injurious to the purpose
for which the park is intended, and that it
is done without the consent and against the
protest of the city.
The defendants. it is claimed, also threaten
to take a part of Joncaire and Fralich
streets and to hold them for the purposes of
operating theirrailroad. ALTHOUGH the Coun-
ellis, by ordinances, granted the company
the right of way over the streets named,
nevertheless the company abandoned and
surrendered the same, and as a result the
city expended large sums of money in re-
pairing and making safe for public travel
and use those streets, believing that the
company would make no further effort to
enter on them. That even if the company
has the lawful right to use the streets it
must be done in conformity with the estab-
lished grade and in a manner reasonably
safe and secure that such highways may be
safe for travel.
The plarntiff claims further that the COM
pany is proceeding with the work in
manner that will render the streets prac-
tically useless for public purposes. They
are laying, it is claimed, crossties on the
surface and placing the tracks on them, and
such work, when completed, will leave the
railroad from s to 10 inches above the sur
face ofthe streets, thereby making public
nuisance.
Fralich street is now the main entrance to
Schenley Park, and is constantly used, and,
therefore, the plaintiff asks an injunction
to restrain the defendants, engineers, con-
tractors and workmen from entering on
these portions of the city property to lay
tracks or operate railroad, and also to re-
strain them from laying tracks on any por-
tion of the public highways of the city in
such manner as to interfere with the free
and full use of the public.
The bill was accompanied BY afidavits
from Superintendent of Highways Andrews
and Street Commissioner Paisley as to the
protests of the city and the lack of attention
which had been paid to these protests.
Judge Magee granted a preliminary in
junction and fixed Tuesday, August 19. for
hearing.

The solicitor goes into detailed statements
connected with most OF the items, explain
ing how they arose. One interview, for in
stance, with the notary was for the purpose
of getting directions ior the substitution Of
the District Register of Londonderry for
the Principal Register. Another charge
was for writing letter to ascertain whether
it were necessary to get the American Con-
sul's signature to authenticate proceedings.
Another was to learn whether the expenses
of the commission should be paid out of the
estate of the American decedent. One
charge is explained as necessary to make ar
rangements for a meeting frustrated by the
July holiday of certain officials, and another
was for the purpose of arranging personal
interview with two witnesses.
1t is suggested that if some American
lawyers were required to render ap itemized
account of services they would not forget as
many appointments as they do. While
some lawyers are very strict in the observ-
ance of appointments, others act as though
clients were all people of leisure who en-.
joyed themselves awaiting the convenience
of their legal advisers.
There is one item in the Irish barrister's
account which reads queerly, the charge of
$40 "a for reading 22-page pamphlet. That
is something more than three times what the
same would cost in Pennsylvania to have
written out on a typewriter. That charge
doesn't smack OF the pauper labor we hear
of in Europe

AN OIL WELL MAKES TROUBLE.
Suit Entered Against the Owners of the
Big CHARTERS Gusher.

Suit Entered Against the Owners of the
Big CHARTERS Gusher.
Isadore Coblens yesterday filed a bill in
equity against S. D. Robson, Charles w.
Robson, Arthur Kennedy, w. R. Sewell
and Michael Beck, the owners of the big
gusher in the Charters field. Mr.. Coblens
states that Beck is the owner of the land in
Stowe township which the other defendants
leased and struck oil on. In 1886 he asserts
he leased from Beck the oil and gas rights
on the land in questiot. Operations were
to be commenced and one we'll finished
within year. IF he failed to do this he
was 10 pay to Beck 500 per year until the
expiration of his lease.
For reasons of his omn CoDlens did not
bore any wells. He now stands ready and
willing to pay the 500 per year penalty
for not doing so, but claiming that Beck,
intending to defraud him and lease the
land for higher price, did not demand it.
Instead he leased it to the other defendants,
who are obtaining oil in large quantities.
He only heard Of this action week ago,
and demanded his rights, which were re-
fused. he now asks the Court to appoint
receiver to operate the wells, have the de-
fendant account to him for the oil already
obtained, and restrain them from any fur
ther operations on the land.

READY FOR THE TEST.

Reports That the Span of the Chic Counecf-
Ing Railroad Bridge Will be Swung To-
Day-Finishing Touches-A TrestIe Ac.
cident Observation-Disclosures Interested
In the Work.
It is thought in Manchester that the chan
mel span of the big Ohio Connecting Rail-
road bridge is to be swung into position on
the piers at o'clock this morning. It had
been announced that the work would be
done on Tuesday, but some people say the
company desires not to have crowd witness
the performance. As this is the first time an
attempt of this kind was ever made on so
large scale, people say the company is
afraid some accident may happen to mar the
proceedings.
The finishing touches were put to the
preparations yesterday, and last night
everything seemed in readiness for the tugs
70 pull the big span out into the deep water.
Ihe nine large barges that were built
especially for the work were all in position
under the high trestle-work on which the
span rests. During the day, while the men
were at work, a small part of the trestling
gave way under the great weight upon it.
This Was speedily and easily repaired, and
thus far the proceeding has been eminently
successful.
u the surmise be true that the span of the
bridge is to be swung to-day, the operation
VIII be viewed by thousands of people. The
span is built of heavy angle iron, and is
about 523 feet long and 20 feet high. 1t
weighs about 915 TONS 1t is now on trestle
q feet high, that Is built above the nine
Darges. This trestle weighs about 1000
tons. The total weight on the barges is 1915
tons. and their carrying capacity about
strong enough to carry two OF the heaviest
freight trains and many tons more. 1t will
be pulled into position by three or four
steamboats,, and the barges will then be
sunk, leaving the span resting on the piers.

A Queer Itemized Account - Interesting
Feature in Connection With Peculiar
Will-How the Charges Rolled Up
Suggestion to American Solicitors
European Pauper Labor Questioned.
John D. Shafer. ESQ.,, has filed in the
office of Register of Wills, testamentary
document, in which there is some
legal bookkeeping which reads queerly
in this country, where lawyers lump
their demands for service. A gen.
tieman of Irish extraction died in
Allegheny City some time ago. leaving
will with several codicils attached, and it
became necessary, before probate, to send
the instrument to Londonderry, Ireland. for
the purpose of taking testimony, there being
some people there interested in the device
and the American trustee declining to ac-
cept the burden imposed upon him, Mr..
Shafer sent the instrument to a London
derry solicitor and the latter lately made
his report, accompanied by an itemized ac-
count of his charges and other expenses. Mr..
Shafer sent paper book. in which the Su-
preme Court of Pennsylvania had laid
down the mode of proceeding. The account
is made out according to law and is in
pounds, shillings and pence substantially as
follows, the verbiage being omitted:

RELIEVED OF A DILEMMA.

Mayor Wyman Solves n Problem of Life for
an Allegheny Couple.
Mayor Wyman yesterday afternoon united
In marriage Charles Holbrook and Maggie
Dougherty, and thereby saved the young
man from the enforced necessity of becom-
ing the inmate of cell for an indefinite
period. Miss DoughertY lived at No. 16
Lacock street, Allegheny, and Mr.. Holbrook
at No. 68, the same street. Each is 25 years
old. On Thursday the young woman en-
tered suit against Holbrook, and he was
locked up. He was obstinate for two days,
but yesterday agreed to marry the woman.
A license was obtained under the watch ful
eve of detective; Miss Dougherty got what
money was due her from the place of her
employment, and AEegheny's Chief Magis-
trate tied the knot that made them one.
Mayor Wyman was little rusty IN this
one of his duties, 1t being his first marriage
this term. Clerk Henry Henneshagen
guided him over the shoals and completed
the ceremony by planting a fatherly kiss
upon the lips of the blush1ng bride. The
Mayor made no charge for the ceremony, as
he was desirious that the couple should
start life with as much money as possible.

AN INSANE MOTHER-IN-LAw.
Her Present Protector Petitions Another
to Care for Her.

Her Present Protector Petitions Another
to Care for Her.
A petition was filed in the Quarter Ses-
sions Court yesterday by Homer L. McGaw
asking for rule on DR.. Samuel H. Bryant,
of No. 1712 Sidney street, Southside, to
compel him to support Mrs. Mary Bryant
his mother, and the mother of Mr.. McGaw's
wife. He stated that Mrs. Bryant is a
widow, ~ years of age, and is poor and un-
able to work. For two years she has been
insane, and requires constant attention. Her
children are: DIR. Bryant, of Sidney street;
Joseph W. Bryant, Of CHARTERS township;
Sarah A. Plunkett, of Merrimac street;
james M. Bryant, of Benwood, w. Va, and
the wife of the petitioner.
Of the children within the jurisdiction of
the Court, he states, DR.. Bryant is the only
one of sufficient ability to relieve and main
tain his mother, the others not being able.
The petitioner, with whom Mrs. Bryant now
is, has kept her for over nine years at his
own expense. He now asks the Court to
order DR.. Bryant to support her.
The Court issued rule on Dr.. Bryant to
show cause why he should not support his
mother.
