An Order of Court Necessary to Transfer
Passenger Railway stocks.
At the meeting of stockholders of the Pitts
burg, Allegheny and Manchester Railway
Company yesterday, nothing was done about
the issue of bonds and the stockholders ad-
journed to meet again on October IL. The re-
construction Of the lines owned by the CON-
pany, change of motive power, etc., it Is est1-
mated will cost about 81, 100000.
A bill of equity was filed yesterday by the
Pittsbu-g, Allegheny and Manchester Passen-
ger Railway Company. against James ]. DON
nell, w. q. Park D. E. Park and Jacob
Painter, Jr, executors of r. G. Gray. 1t was
stated that in November 1882, the directors of
the Pittsburg, Allegheny and Manchester Rail-
way Company appointed Charles Atwell, r. c.
Gray and Jacob d. Sculley, trustees to purchase
stock OF the Union Passenger Railway Com
pany at $50 per share. The trustees purchased
notes in payment and receiving in return the
notes of the Pittsburg, Allegheny and Manches-
ter Company. The stock was in the names of
trustees as individuals and they were author
lied by the Pittsburg, Allegheny and Manches-
ter Company to vote It.
AS the PiItsburg. Allegheny and Manchester
Passenger Railway Company now wants to
transfer the stock To the Pittsburg. Allegheny
and Manchester Traction Company, they de-
sire that the stock be transferred by the
trustees to the company, the trustees having
no interest in it, having been fully reimbursed.
The executors of Captain Gray did not wish TO
do SO without an order of court, and a decree
burg, Allegheny and Manchester Company and
ordering transfer was asked for. The facts
in the case were admitted by the executors of
Captain Gray and the court granted the decree.

DRIVEN TO DESPAIR.
PITTsBURe PAWNBRoKERs THREATEN
TO SHUT UP SHOP.

They Deny the Right of Any and Everybody
to Examine Their Books-Result Of a
Secret Meeting That Was Held Last
Evening.
A city without pawnshops would look
queer. But that's what Pittsburg promises
to be in the near future. The men now en-
gagged in the business declare that the
gilded balls which have heretofore adorned
their places of business will have to come
down unless the new ordinance passed by
Council on Monday is modified somewhat.
Notices were sent to every pawnbroker,
yesterday, requesting them to attend meet
ing at Levi DeRoy's establishment, 1l33 Penn
avenue. Reporters were excluded from the
meeting, but the result OF the conference Is
soon told. After considerable discussion those
present decided to suspend until the ordinance
is modified according to their views and If the
requests are not granted 1t is likely that all OF
them will quit the pawnbrokerage business
n. Galinger was seen after the meeting. He
stated that he quit business yesterday, and
was undecided whether he would resume. no
| matter if the ordinance was changed TO meet
the ideas of the other pawnbrokers. Every
one present at the meeting, said he, "thought
that the feature of the ordinance which re-
quired the pawnshops to make dairy reports
of what goods they receive Is very just one,
but what all of us object to is that clause in
the ordinance which says that the public shall
have access to our books. Now we would like
to know just who is the public In this case. We
don't propose TO allow everyone to
enter our stores and demand US to
produce our books for examination.
We would agree to the proper authorizes ex-
amining our books, but no one else. This Sec
ton of the ordinance must be made more spe-
ciric before we take out licenses for the ensu-
ing year. At the meeting committee was ap.
pointed to confer with the authorities in regard
to this change, and if it is not made there will
be number of retirements from the business
A few have not decided what hey Will 40
Mr.. Galinger refused to loan money on ar
ticles rendered him yesterday. and Will remain
out of the business until the committee re-
ports. The law does not give them any exten-
tion of time after to-day, and II licenses are not
taken out to-day they can NOT continue in busi.
ness.
Samuel Van Ullem, the Sourhside pawn
broker, took out his license yesterday under
the new law.

BABE HIM GOODBY.
SECRETARY MARTINS ACCOUNTS AUDITED
BY The TRUSTEES.

The Amnlgamated Association Losrs u
Valued and Trusted OhlcinI-Deep Re-
Rret Felt at His Retire-Whnt He Did
to Assist the Order.
William Martin, now ex-Secretary Of the
Amalgamated Association Of Iron and Steel
workers of America, performed the last
official act of his office last evening in turn
ing over to the treasurer all the moneys in
his possession belonging to the association.
It was the occasion of the quarterly meet
ing of the Advisory Board. There was
full attendance, including, President Will.
lam Weihe. Secretary William Martin, Treas
urer James Penney and Trustees John Pierce,
Edward O'Donnell and Edward w. Keil.
James q Mutt. of Youngstown, who succeeds
John Pi.rce as trustee. was also present. Mr..
Martins accounts were audited and found to
be thoroughly IN order and satisfactory in every
respect Mr.. Martin next handed Mr. Penney
a check for a considerable amount. representing
all the money in his hands. At receiving this
mute intimation of the severing of Mr.. Martins
connection with the association. the good
natured old Treasurer was much affected. The
scene was impressive and one not soon to be
forgotten by those present. e.,
The retiring secretary was rendered letter
signed by the. entire board, in which the men,
bers testified to the accuracy and correctness
of his accounts and bore cordial testimony to
his honesty and efficiency. -.
association is regarded with regret, is to say
the least that can be said of how his loss will
be felt by the rank and file of the organization.
During his II years term of office as sec
retary he was foremost in the councils of the
order. and his prudence and cour-
age helped 10 carry the association
through many a crisis. The most notable of
these was at MIngo Junction in 1887. The
knights of Labor and the Amalgamated were
both fighting for the mill BY a bold stroke of
diplomacy Mr.. Martin carried through negotia-
tions with the firm while the other side were
considering measures. This victory. was gen.
orally regarded as the turning point in the his
tory of the association. During his IL years.
incumbency of tine secretary's office Mr.. Martin
0isbursed somewhere about 81 000, QUO of money.
Stephen Madden, the well-known assistant
secretary succeeds Mr.. Martin. John Kilgal
Ion, a puddler in the Lower Union Mills, takes
Mr.. Madden's place. Mr.. Martin has trans
ferred his sphere of duty to 1858 Liberty street.
He is still a member of the State Revenue
Commission and will attend the next meeting
of the board in Philadelphia on the 7th of Oc-
tober.

NEW FIRE ALARM MACHINERY.
The Work on the New ONCE Really Begun
Yesterday.

The work of setting up the new machinery in
the fire alarm Office began yesterday by the re-
moval of the battery jars to the supply room in
the rear of the fifth floor of City Hall, The
jars were set up in a new double rack with
modern improvements in the way of running
the wires from the jars along the wood work
through cleates instead of Jacking them as
heretofore. BY the latter methods the wires
have been cut by tacks driven into the wood to
hold them in position.
Some of the new machinery is already in the
office, but the bulk of it will not arrive for sew
eraI days. Superintendent Morris Mead said
yesterday he would have one of the best fire
alarm officesin the country in few DAYS.
