JONES WAS KNOCKED OUT.

Judge Magee Rules That He Is Not an on
cer-A Constable May Only Deputize a
Man Who Is q Resident of His Own
District.
Judge Magee yesterday handed down an
opinion in the matter of the appointment of
W. B. veatch as deputy by John B. Nor
ton,. constable of the Third ward of .McKees-
port. Veatch is resident of Elizabeth town.
ship, and was deputized by Norton. con-
stable in McKeesport, SO he could act for
Squire Mcpherson, of Elizabeth. When
the appointment was filed for the approval
of Court, Stephen Jones, the regularly
elected constable of Elizabeth objected to it.
Squire Mcpherson claimed that Jones did
not perform the duties of his Office, while
Jones maintained that he could attend to
the business, and that Veatch's appoint
ment was illegal.
Judge Magee, in his opinion, said that the
difficulties in this case were not to be over
come in the manner proposed, but if the
regularly-elected constable refused to dis
charge his official duties, the remedy should
be by Indictment and removal from Office.
The appointment Of deputy was intended
as q relief against a pressure of business
beyond the capacity of one man. The act
did not warrant the appointment of dep
uty not residing in the district of the con-
stable by whom he is deputized.
Further he said that the evidence would
not justify, if the Court had the power, its
interfering by approving a deputization
with the right conferred by law on duly
elected township constable to transact the
business pertaining to his office. The Court
refused its appreciation to the appointment
of Veatch.

IT COST SEVERAL FORTUNES.
Enormous Expense Attendant Upon tn
Building of the EIIwood Line.

Enormous Expense Attendant Upon the
Building of the Ellwood Line.
The first through train on the Pittsburg
and Western ran over the Ellwood short
line yesterday, the road having been for
mally opened on Friday. The road is
probably the most costly one in the State,
the expense being 100000 mile. The
road is only 81 miles in length, but is very
important from the fact that it is the con-
Meeting link in the Beaver Valley. 1t
starts from Limeton on the Pittsburg and
Western, crosses the Connoquenessing over
bridge IS feet high and then through a
tunnel 700 feet in length it reaches the new
town of Ellwood City. A new branch of it
joins the Pittsburg and Western further
down and another branch touches the Erie
and Pittsburg and Pittsburg and Lake Erie
roads. The latter connection is made by a
bridg. across the Beaver river
The road is not entirely completed, only
one track having been laid. When finished
it will be double track. The lower bridge
over the Connoquenessing has also been
anchored, but the one over the Beaver river
will not be completed for some time yet.
The great feature of the road is the low
grade. In distance of 81 miles the grade
is only II feet to the mile, while on the
old Pittsburg and Western track the line
goes six miles to cover the same territory
and has grade of 40 feet to the mile. Be-
sides this the Connoquenessing river is to
be damned in order to furnish compressed
air for power in the factories at Elwood.

A HOME FOR NURSES.

Henry Phipps, Jr., Makes a Magnificent Do
nation to the West Penn Hospital-He
VIII Erect Another Building at Cost of
$1,000.
The alleged troubles in the West Penn
Hospital have proved to be myths less to be
feared than the mists that hang over the
building itself on the Twenty-eighth street
hill Besides finding that no Irregularities
existed, the hospital officials have discov-
cred 81, 500 more in the treasury than they
had anticipated. The latter surprise came
from Henry Phipps, Jr., and it is to be used
In building permanent residence for the
nurses at the hospital.
AT the meeting of the Board of Directors
yesterday afternoon Mr.. Phipps' offer was
presented by his niece, Mrs. Sawyer. 1t
was not blank proposition, but finished
plan. Even the drawings for the house
were prepared, and it is to be located just
east of the hospital building 1t will be of
pressed brick with sandstone trimmings.
Steps will be taken to carry into effect the
purpose of this gift from the man who has al
ready given Allegheny City magnificent con-
servatories and thousands of volumes of
books for Carnegie Library.
Surprise was expressed in regard to the
publication of an article that charges of in
competency would be preferred against the
resident physicians of the hospital. Mr..
Samuel Hamilton denied that he had ever
intimated that he would, or knew of any
person who would, prefer such acharge. The
other members of the board denied also
that they contemplated or knew of such an
action

LOOKING FOR A TEST.

A Slim Attendance at Old School r. p.
Churches Predicted for To-Day-The
Suspended Ministers Sure of Plenty of
Auditors-Effect of the Connection.
To-day is expected to furnish criterion
by which to judge of the effect produced by
the commotion excited in the r. P. Church
by the efforts of heresy hunters to purge it
of liberal tendencies. 1t is freely predicted
by some of the friends of the suspended
ministers that there will be decided de-
crease in attendance at the churches where
the old school ministers are in control.
The Rubicon has been crossed, and Revs.
o. B. and j. r. J. Milligan have assurances
of support within the r. P. Church itself,
The remainder have either "placed"
themselves with those who agree substan-
TALLY with them in the U. P. Church, or
can do so when they wish.
1t is expected that the church authorities
will offer to supply the pulpit of the East
End Church, but there is a strong express
sion among the congregation that while the
minister supplied may expect courteous
treatment, he need not look for any audi
ence.
There is really nothing new on the pro-
gramme, as the stand that would be taken
was determined long before the meeting of
the Synod, it being foregone conclusion
that it would condemn the dissenters, and
they and their following were not taken

NEW TRACTION PROJECTS.

An Extension Agreed on From Second Ave-
nue. to Squirrel Hin-TaIk of Two Cross
Town Roads to the Park-Advantages of
the Enterprises.
Two new passenger railway projects are
on the carpet. One is an extension of the
Second avenue road up Greenfield avenue SO
as to develop many acres Of fine property
lying between the Park and the Mononga-
hela. Sales to the amount of several hum
dred thousand dollars have taken place
there within the past two years, all in ex-
pectation of rapid transit. The territory is
only 21z miles in direct line from the
Court House; but it has been hitherto in
accessible. 1t might as well have been in
Westmoreland county, so far as concerned
purposes of city residence. This will be
changed by the short line which it is said
the Second Avenue Company has agreed TO
put in operation by the middle of August.
AT first there was project to run branch
from the Duquesne or Pittsburg traction
over part of this same route across to Home
stead. But the Second Avenue can do the
work at less cost, and as it also. avoids
possible competitor for up-the-river traffic
by taking hold at once it is we'll disposed to
do so.
This will bring into the market great
deal of property. At first some of it will
be at a disadvantage because of the poor
quality of the improvements at the approach
near Laughlin station. But there are hum
dreds of acres further up, along Greenfield
avenue, which may be made a very desir-
able residence quarter when the cars are
running. Senator Finn and several other
prominent capitalists, who are already in
terested in building enterprises, control
large holdings in that district. 1t is said
building on an extensive scale Will be
quickly undertaken when the line gets run
ming.
The other enterprise has not advanced so
far as that of the Second avenue extension,
but is nevertheless being discussed. 1t is
said that the Citizens Traction Company
from Lawrenceville or Bloomfield to Schen-
ley Park. To do this it will be necessary to
bridge the Pennsylvania Railroad at some
point near Ben Venue and then to come
across one of the unoccupie6 streets leading
from the railroad to Fifth and Forbes. The
plans are not officially promulgated, but
insiders say that they are being considered.
A third passenger railway is mentioned
as in view from the Southside to Schenley
Park. This is chiefly talked of in connec-
tion with bridge near Linden station, the
idea being to have a short line running
across the river and up Bates street and
Wilmot and Boquet streets to the Forbes
street entrance to the Park and the Carnegie
Library. OF course this, however, is con-
siderably in the future, as the bridge itself
is not,yet undertaken.

RIOT ON THE RIVER.
The B0isterous B0ozers Disturb
Happy Picnic Party.
SOUTHSIDE POLICE CALLED OUT.
The Steamer Mayfower the Scene Of the
Fearful orgy.
ONE PRISONER TAKES A SUDDEN BATH

A disgraceful affair occurred on the
steamer Mayfower last night. The South
side Council, Sovereigns of Industry, gave
picnic yesterday at Kinney's Grove,
and hired the Mayfower for the oc-
casion. Last night it was reported
that the officers in charge could not control
the crowd, many of whom had crossed the
river to Braddock and secured liquor. Cap
tain Stewart detailed Lieutenant Johnston
and squad ofpolice, as we'll as Special
Officers Kelly and Richards, to be at the
landing at Twenty-second street when the
boat would arrive. As the boat
landed there seemed to be a disturbance
of some sort in progress on the cabin deck.
A policeman's whistle was heard.
The officers went aboard at once and Sc
cured Ed Shawhan, Mike ZNilcher and
David Reese. The three prisoners gave
the officers quite tussle, and came tumb-
ling down the stairs all in heap. Zwil-
cher, who had been secured by Lieutenant
johnson and Officer King, made quite
a fight, and seeing that he could not get
away, jumped off the boat into the river and
tried to get off, but the officers got ashore
and secured a skiff Zwilcher kept moving
out until the water had reached his neck.
The crowd became excited, thinking he
would be drowned, but he was finally Sc
cured, and, with the other prisoners, sent to
the enty-eighth ward station.
1t was learned that the fight was started
by Shawhan, who claimed he had been
robbed of 5000 scarfpin. He first had
some words with Captain Anshutz and
struck him several times. A man named
Schuchman interfered, and Shawhan turned
on him, beating him numerically, pound
ing his face almost raw. Zwilcher and
Reese interfered, and just at this point the
boat landed and the police went to the
assistance of the officers on the boat.
From a passenger on the boat it was
learned that the entire crowd had been
carrying on in fearful manner, singing
and conducting an orgie of the Wild
est description, using language unfit
for publication or repetition. Constable
Sheron, of Alderman Succop's Office, who
was on the boat, said the day had passed in
an orderly manner until the crowd who had
gone for liquor returned; then the trouble
commenced. Lieutenant Johnston said after
the affair was over that when he saw the
man wanted to jump overheard he concluded
to let him do so, as good wet
ting would probably sober him up a
little. The reason why Zwilcher desired to
get away is, it seems, that this is not his
first escapade, and the last time he was be-
fore Alderman Succop that gentleman
warned him that the next time he came be-
fore him he would give him the limit.
