CHARGED TWICE WITH ROBBERY.

Charles Wooden, Alias Heartgrny, Arrested
While on Trial for Another Crime.
Just as Charles Wooden, alias Heartgray,
was having hearing in Squire Richards
Office last night, on charge of larceny, he
was arrested on a similar charge preferred
by Catharine Terry. When the Alderman
announced that he would have to hold
Wooden for court, commitment to Jail was
made out for the prisoner, and he and the
paper were turned over to Detective Steele.
Wooden was taken to Allegheny to await a
hearing on Mrs. Terry's charge before Mayor
Wyman to-day before being placed in the
hands of the Jail warden.
Mrs. Terry is the proprietress of board
ing house at No. 25 Marshall street, Alle-
ghenv. She alleges that Wooden was one Of
her boarders, and while there stole a silver
watch, suit of clothes and several other arti-
cles. The case against him before Alder
man Richards was of a similar nature.

ECHOES OF THE DOG WAR.
THE HUMANE SOCIETY WANTS A TEN.
PoRARv POUND AT ONCE.

Overhead Check Rein on Horses Condemn ed
Paul Hacke Elected n Member
Homestead Agent Appointed-Contribu-
lions Reported and Other Business of the
Meeting.
Tradition tells us it was the dog who said,
''I'll take your part" when he robbed the
cat OF her portion of the dinner, and it is
the Humane Society that is taking the dogs
part now, as manifested at yesterdays meet
ing of the directors when the proposed
pound became the chief topic of discussion.
The committee of ladies that waited on
Chief Brown last week made their report.
1t was received and vote OF thanks ten
dered them. Thanks were also extended to
Chief Brown for his promptness in resciHd-
ing his order for the slaughter.
After the ladies' report had been adopted
resolution instructing the society's solicit
tor, +. w. Smith, ESQ.,, as to their views on
the establishment, management and main
tenance of the temporary pound that they
hone to have provided, was adopted.
They want to have a temporary pound
provided where all dogs running at large
during the so called dog days are to be
taken and kept for limited number of
days, to be agreed upon at the conference
between Solicitor Smith and Chief Brown.
A stated sum will be charged the owners of
dogs thus captured before they can be re-
leased. If the dogs are not redeemed by
their owners after a certain number ofdays'
detention, any other person will be priyi-
legged to DO so upon payment of the amount
to be fixed. Should the time for keeping
the dogs 20 by, then they are to be subjected
to painless death.
The Humane Society directors believe
that such pound would be selfsustaining,
but In case it proves otherwise, the society
pledges itself to supply the deficit.
A resolution condemning the use of the
overhead check rein was also passed, with
the recommendation that all persons now
using it cease out of sympathy for their
horses.
Paul H. Hacke was elected a member of
the society. Charles 81. Stewart was ap-
pointed agent at Homestead.

LOCKING HORNS AGAIN.
Mayor GourIey and Chief Elliot May Come
Together-The Former Looking Out for
Tnxpayers-The Old Poor Farm Must
for the Nexv One

Mayor GourIey and Chief Elliot May Come
Together-The Former Looking Out for
Tnxpayers-The Old Poor Farm Must
Pay for the New One.
Mayor Gourley is determined that the tax
payers of the city will not have to paw for
the new city farm about to be purchased
He will insist upon written report from
Chief Elliot, giving the result of the latter s
calculations as to the cost of a new farm.
The Mayor and chiefs of the city depart
ments had intended TO 60 out yesterday to
look at one or two of the sites offered for
the new farm, but, owing to the absence of
Chief Brown, the trip was abandoned.
1t is not likely that the trips will be made
until tomorrow or Friday morning. It is
the intention to devote one day to examining
each site, and it will probably take week
to inspect all the property proposed. Mayor
Gourley made very emphatic statement in
regard to the sale of the old Poor Farm yes
terday. Said he:
81 understand from reliable authority that
Chief Elliot has been in communication for
the past three months with builders, archi-
tects aud others whose opinions were valua-
BILE, with view of finding out what it will
cost to build the new Poor Farm buildings
with all the latest improvements and con-
veniences, according to Mr.. Elliot's wishes.
In that time Mr.. Elliot has no doubt Sc
cured figures as well as facts that he can
safely estimate from. have had no sucn
opportunity to secure foundation for cal
culation on the subject, but in a matter of
so much Importance as this I must have
something TO show me how to act intelli-
gently, and I propose to insist upon writ
ten statement from Chief Elliot, giving me
the result of his efforts in that direction. 1
have been told that such buildings as Mr..
Elliot desires can be built for $200, 900 or
less. If he submits a statement to me show
ing that he can, with the proceeds of the
sale Of the old farm, buy new farm of
double the size of the old one, located
on river front, and good farming land,
and can then be put up the proper build
ings and Improvements complete without
drawing upon the people for one cent more
of money, then Twill give my consent to
the sale, and not until then. I do not say
this because I have any doubts as to Mr..
Elliot's honesty in the matter. I believe
him to be scrupulously honest and fair"
In view of the trouble that has existed
between the Mayor and Chief Elliot since
the formers election, It is little doubt
full if Mr.. Elliot will relish this peremp-
tory order. Those who understand their
relations are watching with interest to see
what the impulsive chief Of charities will do
about it,
