William FOrgey, Of Williamsburg,
Tries to Kill Himself, and Then
Dies of Heart Disease.
FOUND LYING DEAD IN HIS BED.
An Italian Miner Hunting Fellow
COuntryman Who Stole Both His
Money and Children.
SUNDAY HEARINGS DECIDEDLY SMALL
Record Of Days DOings Among the Pittsburg and
Allegheny Police

William \. Forgey was found dead in
bed at the St. James Hotel yesterday morn
ing. Death resulted directly from disease
of the heart, but is supposed to have been
hurried by wounds inflicted by his own
hand. When the case was reported to
Coroner Mcdowell he Immediately went to
the hotel and began an investigation. He
soon discovered circumstances leading to
suspicion and he determined TO thoroughly
sift the matter. Forgey was lying on his
bed, where he had died some time during
the night On examining the body
the Coroner found three cuts as if made
bv a knife, directly over his heart. His
underclothes in the vicinity of the wounds
were clotted with blood, showing them to be
of recent origin. The body was removed to
an undertaker's and the Coroner ordered a
post mortem examination.
A Man With Too Big a Heart.
1t was found that Forgey's heart was
wonderfully enlarged, being several times
the ordinary size, and that death had re-
suited from it. DR.. McCandless said the
man must have suffered terribly from the
affection of his heart
Investigation developed the fact that
Forgey came to Pittsburg with his son, j.
H. Forgev, from their home in Wilkins
burg. The elder Forgey was 66 years of
age, and for some time past had been ex-
hibiting signs of mental weakness. This
eliminated Saturday when he endeavored
10 put an end to his life by stabbing himself
in the heart. In this he was not wholly
successful, though the wounds are thought
to have hastened his end.
No Accommodations for the Insane.
The son concluded it would be better to
get his father into hospital where he could
be better taken care of, and accordingly
came to Pittsburg and applied at the
Homeopathic institution. He told the au-
thorities there of his fathers mental in
1irmitv, and they declined to take him, as
thew had no accommodations for insane.
The son then concluded TO take his-father
to the hotel, and visit the West Penn Hos
pital in the morning. The two retired, and
when the son awoke yesterday morning he
found his father dead. -.
1t is thought the terrible pain of his
heart had been responsible for Mr. Forgey's
weakness of mind. The body will be re-
moved to the home of his daughter in Allie
gheny this morning, and the inquest will be
held at IL o'clock at the Coroner's Office.
The wife of the deceased has been dead sew
eral wears.

MANY s1x-DoLLAR DELEGATES.
Amalgamated Convention Has a Majority
of Them, but Not Two-Thirds.

Amalgamated Convention Has a Majority
of Them, but Not Two-Thirds.
The radical delegates in the Amalgamated
Convention are making strong effort to
carry Sc a ton for boiling iron. The scale
has been under discussion now since Wednes-
day, and it is expected that vote will be
taken on it tomorrow evening. The fullest
latitude has been allowed the supporters of
the increase by the chairman.
Though these delegates have a majority in
the convention, having the support of the
roughers and catchers, who are out for an
other per cent of the mill earnings, it is
regarded as very doubtful if they can so in
fuence the convention as to carry their
point 1t requires two-thirds majority to
alter the scale as reported, and it is said
that 200 of the 300 delegates cannot be got
to see the advisability of 50-cent advance.
If the convention is carried on this point
there is no doubt that strike will follow,
as the iron manufacturers will not accept a
proposition for an increase in wages, though
the fall prospects for the trade may be fairly
good.

A LITTLE, WEAKENED MAN.
Sir John Macdonald Reminded Observers of
the Late Lord Beaconsneld.


the Late Lord Beaconsneld.
IT had the pleasure once of seeing Sir
John Macdonald" remarked young lady,
last evening. 'It was few years ago at
the marriage of his son in To-
ronto. Sir John was present, and a
great crowd gathered outside of
the church to see the Canadian Premier.
People will suppose from the prevailing
pictures of his full, round face that he was a
large man, but the contrary is true. As
remember him he was a little, weazened fel-
low, with large head and intelligent face.
He reminded me very much of photographs
L had seen of Lord Beaconsfeld, and 1
gathered from people who knew him well
that he was much the same kind of man.
''Sir John Macdonald was the happy pos
SCISSOR of a very even temper. He seldom
got angry, and had the knack of pouring
oil on the troubled waters. The fact that
he could attain worldwide reputation
within such a limited political sphere at
tests the greatness of his ability"

TO BE DONE BY CONTRACT.
The Pennsylvania Company VIII TryA,
Plan of Keeping Up the Roadbed.

The Pennsylvanfa Company VIII IryA.
Plan of Keeping Up the Roadbed.
The engineers of the Pennsylvania road
are about to introduce new plan for keep
ing up the roadbed. Instead of having the
section boss with his gang the road will be
divided into seven-mile lengths, and
contractors will be asked to bid on main
tanning this part of the line. The company
deals only with the contractors and he is
allowed to pay his men and deal with them
as he sees fit. This will relieve the pay
master of the company and will greatly
simplify the paying system.
It is not known how the scheme will
work until it is tried. On the surface it is
not very promising, as the public has little
confidence in this kind of contract jobbery
The same method of doing work will be
adopted in the shops after awhile.
