being aware that the county had exceeded
that figure by $1,000. Assuming the latter fact
to be the case, Mr.. Johnston said the condi-
tlons of the acts regulating the appointments
were such as to make it extremely doubtful
how the offices should be created without ap-
plying to the Legislature for relief. He is OF
opinion that the question would probably be
brought before the Legislature at its next slt-
tings. In this connection the District Attorney
said:
bearing on the matter; those of 1876, 1851 and
1883 The act of 1888 provides that in the event
of the population of county exceeding 500 wv
the salary of the District Attorney shall be slO-
600 per year, and that he shall have frst as
sistant at salary Of 5000; second at sSTy SS
the population OF Allegheny county be found
to exceed 500 900 it will become entitled to these
three additional officers. But the difficulty IN
the matter is how these offices shall be created
ON this point the act is perfectly silent. If the
act said that the District Attorney should have
the appointing power, or that they should De
elected in due form, no question could arse.
But as it is, there is a clause in the State Con-
stitution making it illegal to pass any measure
for the creation OF offices or for any increase
in the salary of officers while in office. The
question is frought with some difficulty, and,
should the necessity arise. il will probably be
brought before the Legislature for remedy.
Outside Of this have not heard of any sug-
gesuons to be made to our Legislators.
The liquor men may probably seek to amend
the Brooks law in some way or other. 1t would
be very good thing if some plan were hit
upon by which the time of the Criminal Court
Judge could be saved. As IL is, the business OF
the court falls into terrible arrears while its
iudges are holding licensing sessions. The June
term is simply crowded with business and there
is no possibility of an adjournment until about
the middle of August. There has been some
thing SAID about a commission, probably of a
LAWYER and laymen, but think better remedy
would be found in the appointment of addi-

HAD TOO MUCH TO DO.
Boiler Manufacturers Acceded to the
Demands of Their Men
OWING TO AN INCREASED TRADE.
President Gompers Coming to Talk to
Pittsburg Machinists.
CONFERENCE ON THE STEEL SCALE

The boiler makers strike was settled none
too soon for the benefit Of the industry. All
of the 19 shops in the two cities are hlled up
with orders, and the manufacturers In part
admit they were forced to accede to the
terms of the men. One reason, and possibly
the greatest which forced settlement, was
the fact that outside manufacturers have
been for some years gradually working IN
on the local industry, and Pittsburg manu-
facturers are compelled to guard their trade
zealously in order to hold it. 1t is known
that material made in Pittsburg HIS been
made up into boilers elsewhere and shipped
back here for sale.
William h. Conley, of Ritter & Conley,
was seen yesterday. IF the large increase
which has taken place in the business of his
firm has been the rule in all the other shops,
it is safe to say the industry has increased
over so per cent in the last year. ave have

the workmen in other trades In Pittsburg Will

THE boiler makers were happy lot yesterday
at having the strike settled. Ten firms have
already agreed to the terms of the men. and
the others are expected to come In to-day or
to-morrow Work will be resumed in every
sbop NOT later than Thursday at the outside.
James Lappan & Co. was the last firm to give

PLUG HATS AND CARRIAGES.

Allegheny Volunteer Firemen VIII MOI rurn
Out Unless They Go In style-Last NiGhrs
Meetipr Broke Up in Disgust-Jewelers
to Turn Out.
The old volunteer fremen met in Allie
gheny Common Council Chamber last night,
to make arrangements for turning out In
the semi-centennisl parade. There were
present four members of the old Washing
ton Company, five of the William Penn,
two Of the American, three of the Shfaer,
15 of the Columbia, three Of the Ne ptune,
three of the VigiIant and four of the Uncle
Sam. j. G. Reel occupied the chair and
John Stokes was secretary.
Mr.. Stokes reported that Gusky's had
agreed to supply the so men who would
probably turn out with red shirts and colored
necktles and Kaufmanns had agreed to supply
them with straw or English tourist hats. The
old boys objected to straw hats. but did not
know what English tourist hats were like.
Secretary Stokes informed them that they
were the style Of hats worn by the Salvation
Army. That settled 1t. The members Of the OLD
companies were instantly dead set against Sal
walton Army hats. Then the cry went up Tor the
'stovepipe" hats. but nobody knew who would
pay for so much style. To settle the difficulty,
Chairman Reel declared a recess OF ten min
utes to give the members an opportunity TO
consult the Finance Committee OF Councls
hats and carriages. This the committee refused
to do and when the session was resumed the
old boys proceeded, with their ancient vlgor, TO
get up the first big 'kick' that has yet occurred
in the parade arrangements.
They said the men were all getting old now,
all are past 50 years, and as all are poor II was
too much to ask them to turn out and pay Tor
the fun of it. The meeting then adjourned in
disgust sine die. The Columbia boys will hold
ameeting tonight in the Columbia engine
house, and they will make arrangements for
turnout.
After the meeting adjourned Chairman Reel
said that there was always kickers in matters
of this kind. He knew Chairman Hunter was
doing all he could, but be did not have money
enough to pay for everything. Besides, Mr..
Reel said the kickers usually men who
want to get a new suit of clothes, and then it's
doubtful whether they will turn out or not If
they get them
The Allegheny jewellers also met and COM
pleted arrangements for their turnout In the
seml-centennial parade. All but one firm was
represented. 1t was decided to turn out with
mounted escort, whose uniform will be dress
suits and sashes, the main body to go IN
carriages. About 40 men will turn out. Ben
Vey, j. p. Steinmann and E. L. Bear. were
appointed committee TO superintend the
turnout and decorating Of carriages and
horses. After the parade a banquet will be
held and an effort made to form permanent
organization.
A meeting of the Parade Committee was also
secured for the guests, orators, Members OF
Councils and Centennial Committee. 1t Is ex-
pected that the Board Of Control will furnish
their own carriages.
The meeting of business men was largely at
tended. About 800 wagons Will be in line, and
play promises to be one Of the important parts
of the parade.

QUITE A CAREER.

Some Interesting Features In the Life Of
the Temporary Rector OF Trinity Church
"A Man Better known Abroad Thnn nt
Homo.
Rev. DR.. William o. Lamson, who Is
temporary rector OF Trinity Church, In this
city, is q gentleman who Is possibly better
known abroad than in his native country,
on account OF his long and active identifica-
tion with the spread Of American Episco-
palianism on the Continent. DR.. Lamson
began his residence in Paris In 1858, with
the purpose OF establishing On American
church In that city, and In 1864 had the
pleasure Of seeing the Church OF the Holy
Trinity consecrated. DR.. Lamson Is really
the originator OF the American churches IN
Europe, of which there are now six distinct
organizations, all having their own church
buildings.
Dr. Lamson was the only one of the English
speaking cergymen Of Paris who remained In
the city during the siege In lS70-7l and bis
church was kept open during all the troubles
OF that period. He was president OF the Amer
relief OF the sufferings of tho French army, and
he was present ut every sortie and engagement
up to the capitulation, and also remained IN
Paris during the Commune and second siege.
When the Eastern question was brought up
by the troubles In Herzegovina, In 1874, leading
to the Turco-Serylau war, DR.. Lamson was re-
quested by the English League for the Aid Of
Christians IN Servia to take charge OF the dis
tribution Of money and supplies 10 the refugees
who were driven from their homes by the
Turks, and when leaving Servia he was given
the Takovo cross, the only decoration conferred
by the Servian Government.
In the following Russo-Turkish war Dr.
Lamson went to st. Petersburg to work In con-
junction with the Red Cross Society Of Russia.
of which the Empress was the head. and. after
organizing the work, he went through Russia
to the seat of war In Roumania, where he es-
tablished hospitals and remained until the war
was ended by the treaty of San Stephans. Be-
fore leaving he was decorated with the
officers cross of the order OF the Star OF
ROumania.
Returning to st. Petersburg. DR.. Lamson
was cordially received by the late Emperor and
Empress. and was given their personal recos-
milton and thanks for his services during the
war, and remained in the Russian capital to
take part In the celebration of the treaty of
peace. Since that time DR.. Lamson has been
engaged in his duties in various churches in
this country, and his broad scholarship, i'm
pressive eloauence in the pulpit and genial
personal qualities make him everywhere a

CLOSED THE CENSUS,
SUPERVISOR OLIVER FINISHES HIS
WORK AND GOES QUIETLY HOME,

The Latest Figures Give Allegheny County n
Population of 553,39S-The Butcher
Finally Makes His Rcturns-Over = 900
Old Soldiers In the County.
The census in the Ninth district Of Penn
sylvania is finished, and all the returns
shipped to the Census Burea u at Washing
ton. Supervisor Oliver has shaken hands
with his clerks, locked the door OF his Office
in the Lewis block. put the key in his
pocket, and dropped his official mantle.
The last census enumerator to make his
return was butcher. He started out full
of ambition, but when he got half way
through his district and figured up the
remuneration, he sat down by the wayside
and rested. He would have been resting yet,
SO far as this particular job is concerned, had
not Mr.. Oliver prodded him with a sharp stick,
and presented TO his affrighted gaze the picture
of lusty, beef-fed butcher pining away In the
county Jail on diet of bread and water.
The population of Allegheny county, as esti-
mated by Mr.. G. G. Law, Chief Clerk to the
Census Supervisors, is $685.. 1t is not
claimed that these figures are absolutely cor
rect, but they are very near 1t Plttsburg will
range between - 1yooS ~ former anS sure egSeny
City is safely landed in the second class with
los 900 Inhabitants.
There were 357 enumerators appointed by
Supervisor Oliver In the Ninth district which
consists of Allegheny County. In addition to
these the Census Bureau at Washington ap-
pointed 20 enumeratorS for pubic institutions
in the county.
Mr.. Law estimates that the old soldier is a
very numerous individual, in Allegheny. He
figures that an average of 20 were returned by
each enumerator, which would give total OF
over 1000 in the county. In addition to these
there are go old soldiers in the workhouse, 30 in
the Western Penitentiary, 16 in jail and 4o In
the West Penn Hospital.
A remarkable difference was discovered IN
the manner in which the census supervisors
sized up the subject of chronic diseases. The
enumerator in Versailles township returns one
in every five persons as afflicted by chronic
diseases. In other districts the enumerators
found high state of health. 1t was merely
difference in the Interpretation of the census
rules. One enumerator would call every little
ailment chronic, while other men took more
liberal views.
These questions on health, Mr.. Law believes,
are rather for future reference than immediate
use, to determine the physical and mental in
duence Of heredity.

DOG DAYS ARE HERE.
CANNES Must be Muzzled or They
Will be Annihilated.
CHLOROF0RMING THEM TO DEATH.
The Painless Method Adopted in the First
District.
HOW 1T WILL WORK IN PRACTICE

This morning the much-heralded canine
crusade commences. Every man, woman
or child who has pup of high or low de-
gree must have it muzzled or else keep it off
the streets. Otherwise it dies. When the
shades of evening iall it is expected that
several hundred dogs will have gazed on
the glowing orb Of day and bayed at fair
Lima for the last time. They will have
steered their barks to other shores.
The Department of Public Safety has
issued its fat-the dog must go. How the
animals are disposed of, so long rs unneces-
sary cruelty is avoided, the officials do not
care The officers are practicing at targets,
and are convinced that they will not shoot
any human beings If the dogs will only
stand still.
Inspector McAleese, who looks after the
moral health of the First district, has
adopted scheme for the suppression of the
pup which promises to be a great success.
Each officer will be provided with pint bottle
of chloroform and sponge. When the officer
espies an unmuzzled dog he will saturate the
sponge with chloroform. II the dog is
large one with unsociable manners,
the officer will approach it carefully.
but if it is of a meek disposition debonnaire
air may be assumed Having got within reach
ing distance of the dog the officer will seize it
by the back of the neck with the right hand.
and with the left will firmly press the saturated
sponge to the nostrils of the now hypnotized
canine. This operation is expected to continue
for IA seconds, but a great deal is left to the
Judgment of the officer. If the dog passes the
time in chewing the hand of the bluecoated
guardian of the peace, the latter. by
telephoning to police headquarters may
receive permission to drop the animal
and take better hold. If the operation proves
a success, and the spirit of the animal is
ours is located, the officer will reverently
deposit the deceased IN the gutter, and to pre-
vent accidents or an untimely resurr ection,
place a couple of bullets where he thinks they
will do the most good, notify the Fallmaster,
and collect his fee of 50cents from the city.
In the other police districts no method has
been laid down, and 1t will be q go-as-you-
please, with the dogs on the run.
