NEW AND NOVEL TYPEWRITER.

Company Being Organized to Manufac-
ture One Which Prints in View of the
User-It Weighs Only IA Pounds and
Can be Worked With Great Facility.
In one of the parlors of the Anderson yes
terday was exhibited the model of type
writer of new and original design which has
the distinctive merit of permitting the
user to see what he is writing. The machine
is the invention of j. d. Daughterty, Court
Stenographer at Kittanning, and of many
years experience in the use of typewriters.
He has bestowed much time and thought
on the perfecting of an instrument which
would be smaller, lighter, more easily man
ipulated, and worked with greater rapidity
than any in use. And those who have seen
the machine are quick to admit that he has
accomplished his purpose.
When the keys are struck the type bar is
driven upward to the printing point by di-
rect action, and from the writer, so that the
printing is done on the side of the cylinder
opposite to and facing the operator. The
feed is regulated so that the spacing is done
in the interval between the rise and fall of
successive letters. No time is lost through
waiting for one letter to clear itself before
the next is applied. Absolute alignment is
obtained at the printing point by means of a
guide, and the letters are set at such an an
gle In the frame as to reach the printing
point with perfect accuracy. AS in other
instruments the upper and lower case letters
are on the same type bars. The machine
will not be more than five inches high, weigh
ing about IA pounds. The keyboard is as
usual.
A merit claimed for it by the inventor is
that its working parts consist of only $50
pieces against the, from ], 400 to 5000 in other
machines. Thus it can be made and sold at
half the price of other machines. A COM
pany is being formed to place this new type
writer, the 'world beater," on the market.
The following gentlemen are back of the
enterprise: John o. COlwell and William
Pollock, of Kittanning: Henry Warner,
James II. Mccain, David NJ. Cargo, B. Forst,
and c. T. Moesta. The capital stock is $780,
600, and charter of incorporation will be
applied for shortly. The machine is fully
covered by patents, and expert typewriters
who saw it Yesterday expressed the highest
approval of it.
There is probability that the factory for
the manufacture of the new typewriter will
be located near Pittsburg. Several sites
have been offered for the purpose. So far
the choice lies between Kittanning and this
city,

NO MEETING HELD HERE.
The Presence of Quay and Fruit Gave Rise
to Several Rumors.

The Presence of Quay and Fruit Gave Rise
to Several Rumors.
Senator Quay and his son Dick rode into
town yesterday afternoon from the South
side in n cab. The Senator was heard of later
at the Seventh Avenue Hotel, but he did not
register. When last seen he was making his
way toward Allegheny to take train for
home. j. S. Fruit. of Sharon, appeared in
the city late in the afternoon and the i'm
preston got abroad that there was to be q
gathering of the faithful. Mr.. Fruit, how
ever, soon departed for Sharon, and so
far as could be learned no meeting
was held i'll Pittsburg. Mr.. Fruit was
returning from the meeting of the Treasury
Committee in Harrisburg. He said the
Democrats were very much surprised when
they saw the Republican members of the
committee present. They had hoped they
would remain away to give them campaign
material this fall. The game was blocked.
They will proceed with the investigation
August %. An important meeting of Re-
publican leaders was scheduled to take
place last Tuesday somewhere, presumably
at Senator Quay's home, when the policy of
the party for the next few years would be
shaped. Extra precautions were taken to
exclude reporters, and if the meeting was
held, the facts will gradually leak out.

VIEWERS ARE INVALID,
Doubt as to Their Right Raised in
Allegheny's Survey Meeting.
HUNGARIANS FIGHT FOR A BED.
A Southside Man Claims He Has Met
Satan Himself in Person.
GENERAL GOSSIP OF THE TWIN CITIES

Mr.. John H. McCreery was before the
Allegheny Committee on Surveys last night,
and raised a question on the right of the
committee to appoint viewers He argued
that the Courts appointed them for Pitts
burg, and as Allegheny was now a city of the
same rank the viewers should be similarly
chosen.
On the regular business being brought up,
an adverse report was received from the
subcommittee on J. II. McCreery's plan of
lots in tho Tenth ward. The subcommittee
reported adversely because the property
will be traversed by Euclid avenue, pro-
posed street which is not shown in the plan.
j. H. McCreery spoke in favor of his plan.
He objected to Euclid avenue, claiming that
it would damage the property and be use
less expense, as the street would be of no
benefit.
Mr.. Lowe mentioned that viewers had
been appointed on the street.
Mr.. McCreery replied that he did not think
the committee had a right to appoint view
ers. The court appoints them for Pittsburg,
and Allegheny was also a second-class city.
Mr.. Lowe said that City Solicitor Elphin-
stone had informed them that Allegheny
could operate under o special act.
Mr.. McCreery answered that he had the
greatest respect for Mr.. Elphinstone, who
was man of ability, but he had been told
by man who had forgotten moro than a
man of Mr.. Elphinstone's age could know
that 1t could not, and the city would find it
out some day. On motion the plan of lots
under discussion was laid over for O week.
The ordinance changing the grade of Kirk
patrick avenue. against which there was a
remonstrance, was laid over until the next
meeting. The ordinance repeating the ordi-
nance widening portion of Arch street and
the ordinance widening Woodland avenue
we're ordered printed for the use of Coun-
ellis
The petition for widening, establishing the
grade and changing the name of Lincoln
avenue was referred to the subcommittee.
The ordinance consenting to the vacation of
portion of Leckey road was reported on
adversely by the subcommittee. Mr.. Mer-
Ger stated that the people who petitloned
for the ordinance also signed the remon.
STRANGE against it, and he moved to place
the ordinance on file. The motion was
adopted
The petition to have a grade established
on Virginia street, on the suggestion of City
Engineer Swan, was laid over until q grade
is established on Perrysville avenue.
Gusky's plan of lots in the Tenth ward,
the Ridgeview Land Company's plan, Elev-
enth ward, and the Van Point plan, Elev-
enth ward, were approved. Profles of Nor
rison street and an unnamed alley were re-
ferred to the City Engineer.

WHAT COL. ELKINS SAYS

About the Charge Relating to S7,5OO,OOO
Worth of Bonds of the Chicago Gas Co.
President George W. Elkins, of the Pitts
burg Traction Company, does not believe
the story sent to The DISPATCH from Chicago
relating to the allegation that Messrs.
Yerzes, Widener, Elkins, Cummings and
others took s7,5OO,0C0 from the treasury of
the Chicago Gas Light and Trust Company.
The charge is that the accused men issued
bonds to the amount named, sold them and
put the proceeds in their pockets.
Colonel Elkins smiled grim smile when
asked what he knew of it, if any thing.
"There is not a word of truth in it," he said.
"They don't do that kind of business. The
story was manufactured by some reporter,
and there is nothing in it at all.''

AN ENGLIsHMAN's SUICIDE.
John Frost Stabs Himself and Then Leaps
From a Three-StorY WindoM.

John Frost StaDS H1mSelf and Then Leaps
From a Three-Story Window.
John Frost, an Englishman 80 years of
age, who has been in this country but six
months, committed suicide in the Carson
House, Lacocls street, yesterday at noon.
Retiring to his room on the third floor he
undressed, and lying on his bed stabbed
himself several times in the throat and
stomach with pair of pliers. The blood
stained condition of the bed clothing evil
denced this. Frost, after some time, finding
he was not dying fast enough, made his way
to the window and leaped to the ground,
distance of 30 feet. He alishted on his head,
bruising it badly. His left leg and wrist
were broken.
Detective johnson had the man taken to
the Allegheny General Hospital, where he
died at o'clock. He was conscious but
would give no account of himself. From
letters found on him he has relatives in
Aleaston, England. He had been employed
in the Allegheny Office of the Allegheny
Light Company, but was discharged re-
Gently. 1t is reported he drank heavily since
his dismissal. An inquest will be held.

oped that the man was not a heavy drinker,
but had been crossed in love.

stables at Freeport.
Superintendent Muth says that the thieves
in this case are identical with those who
stole Fl. Mckee's horses and wagon from the
same place not long ago. They are brothers,
residing, when at home, in Allegheny, one
of whom is 8 years and the other about IA
years old. Their plan is to lay around for a
chance to hold the horses while the owner
is away on business ana then to drive away

THE vERMIFORM APPENDIX.
This Useless Tissue in the Human Frame
Caused W. E. McCutcheon's Death,

An autopsy performed on Tuesday by
Drs. Campbell, Clark and Calhoun, on the
body of William Elder McCutcheon, of Oak
mount who died on Monday and was buried
yesterday, revealed the fact that death was
caused by bean lodging in the vermiform
appendix. This is small tube forming a
part of the digestive organs, which has an
orifice without any passage leading from it.
Hence, anything which may chance to
lodge there is certain to remain, and being
removed from the process of digestion
causes inflammation and subsequently
death.
The vermiform appendix is one of the few
tissues in the human body which fulfills no
purpose. OF late years it has become ap-
parent to medical men that many deaths for
which no cause could be properly assigned
were really attributable to food entering the
orifice ofthevermiform of appendix and finding
no outlet, there remained undigested, to
cause fatal results.
Joe McCutcheon, a younger brother of the
deceased, was accidentally shot several
years ago. The bullet entered the abdomen
and pierced the lungs coming out at the
right shoulder. Yet he recovered and is
now well and hearty, while bean killed his
brother,

on Charge Out of Town.
Florence Donaldson. the girl who figured so
prominently in the May Sullivan case which
sent Jeweler Bobbs, of Scottdale, to the
penitentiary two years ago, was arrested at
No. 76 First avenue by Inspector McAleese
and Detective Coulson last night. The In
spector refused to say upon what charge the
girl had been jugged, but after considerable
questioning admitted that she was wanted
at some other place, though he refused to
tell upon what charge.
Florence Donaldson has an interesting
history. She was arrested several years ago
at Beaver charged with poisoning the coffee
prepared for whole family of her rela-
tives. She was then but IA or ID years old,
and was tried for the crime, but was not con-
victed. Subsequently she figured in an
brought into disagreeable prominence in
the May Sullivan case. Her part in that
affair was to secure entry for +year-old
May Sullivan, of Scottdale, into n house
kept by Laura Bailey on Second avenue.

Overproduction and Rate Cutting Have In
Jured the Pipe Business

Joshua Rhodes went to New York last
evening to attend a meeting of the Wrought
Iron Pipe Association. Mr.. Rhodes said the
business was badly demoralized, owing to
the manufacturers cutting prices and the
reproduction. He said the makers were
running their WORKS to lose as little as posi-
Bile. or more than that as they see fit. They
are not making anything.
He thought his own plant, the PeRnsyl-
vania Tube Works, was the only one in the
country running full If anything, the price
will be reduced. He remarked that the
members of the association stick to the
agreement when they have more than they
can do, but in times of depression each man
looks out for himself
