PETER PAYING PAUL.
Why George Biginwald Robbed His
Grandfather a Second Time.
TO PAY UP A FORMER THEFT.
The Money Is Found Hidden Away in the
House of His Friend.
HE VERY HUMBLY CONFEsSES HIS GUILT

A remarkable case of robbing Peter to pay
Paul was developed in Allegheny last night
by the detectives. Last Easter boy robbed
his grandfather of s1OO The grandfather
had him arrested, and after lying in
Jail for while the lad con-
cluded he would make good his
thefts. On the strength of this he was re-
leased and all criminal prosecutions ceased.
The boy found that earning the price of
century wrapper" was bigger job than he
had anticipated. The end of July found
him without sou. Believing that the
snake that bit him must effect a cure also,
he decided to touch his grandparents
savings and pay back all that he
owed. 1t was Sunday morning. There was
a little more in the pot than he needed, but
thinking few extra dollars would not come
amiss, he just took away sl23 as an evidence
of good faith.
A WALLET WELL TRIMMED.
When the youths operations were ended
the grandfather's wallet, like the lamps of
the good virgins, was well trimmed The
grandfather, whose name by the way is
George Miller, had been at church with his
son Barney. When he returned to his home
on the Perrysvile road he Mt once told his
loss to Assistant Superintendent of Police
Glenn. That official remembering of the
son. George Biginwald, of Troy Hill.
Detectives Steel and Johnston were sent
to arrest the suspected boy at his home. He
was brought to the Mayors office and at first
denied all knowledge of the theft, but upon
being closely questioned, stated that if John
LEM, also of Troy Hill, was brought in, he
would tell where the money was. Officer
McDonough brought Lenz to the
lookup and Lenz stated where the money
could be found. In accordance, an officer
was sent to the house of John Martin, Troy
Hill. In the cellar of this house a search
was made and beneath the ground sSl was
found: $40 in one corner, $40 in another and
SIS in another.
SOME STOLEN MONEY FOUND.
The house of Lenz was then searched
and $40 was found there, it being hidden
under the carpet of front room. Mr.. Mar
tin stated that the money had been brought
in, and that Blginwald had told him that he
had borrowed it and wished to leave it for
short time. The police have not yet found
the other SO.
Detective Glenn, in speaking of the case
last night, gave O history of the first rob-
berry and said he had reason to believe that
the money taken on Sunday was simply ap-
propriated in order to square up accounts
in the first robbery. He would not say that
such had been part of Biginwald's confes-
sion, but he had CLEANED it from his personal
investigation.

DOCTORS AND BIRTH REPORTS.
Failure to Notify the Bureau Duo to Mar
Difficulties In the Way.

Failure to Notify the Bureau Duo to Many
Difficulties In the Way.
DR.. E. A. Mundorf, of the Southside, one of
the physicians against whom suit was en-
tered by the Bureau of Health for failure to
report all the births at which they off1ciated,
said yesterday that the authorities were
merely doing their duty as directed by law.
Physicians generally endeavored to make as
full reports as possible, but he admitted
they sometimes were q little remiss in the
matter, allowing more than three months to
elapse before sending in reports. This was
not because they failed to appreciate the
great Importance of full and complete
birth record, but because of difficulties
which sometimes arose. For instance, it is
necessary to report more than the mere fact
of the birth. The name of the child must be
given as well as the parents names.
Frequently weeks and even months elapse
before name is bestowed upon the child,
and in the interim the family may move
away or in some way be overlooked or lost
sight of.

NEW INDUSTRY HERE.
The La Belle Steel Company Will Re-
move Its Cutlery Plant
FROM BRIDGEPORT TO ALLEGHENY.
Three Branches of the Glass Trade in
the Balance.
MISCELLANEOUS INDUSTRIAL ITEMS

A new industry is to be established in Al.
legheny. Smith Bros. & Co., owners of the
| La Belle Steel Works, have for number OF
years past been engaged in the manufacture
of cutlery at Bridgeport, Conn. 1t has been
! O great disadvantage to the firm to trans
port the product of the works in Allegheny
to those in Bridgeport, where it was made
up into cutlery, and they propose to bring
the cutlery plant to Allegheny, and estab-
lish the industry in connection with the
steel works on Rebecca street.
A charter of incorporation was secured
yesterday for the cutlery company, and,
while it will be chartered as a separate insti-
| tuition, the stockholders will be limited to
| the proprietors of the La Belle Steel Works,
| the same as formerly. Heretofore the Bos-
| ton agent of the firm has had charge of the
| plant, and the firm has been almost entirely
unable to supervise the work.
AN IMMEDIATE REMOVAL.
1t is proposed to remove the plant at once
Additional ground has been purchased on
Rebecca street. A separate factory of good
sized dimensions will be erected on it, and
operations will be commenced as soon as
possible. 1t is not thought the Bridgeport
employees will be brought hero. Only a few
of the foremen and superintendents of de-
partments will be brought to take charge of
the work, and the remainder of the force
necessary to operate the plant will be Sc
The cutlery plant at bridgeport is said TO
be one of the most extensive works of the
kind in America. The LaBelle Steel Works
has an annual capacity of from Is, 900 to 90
900 tons of steel, and the greater portion of
the finest quality OF this output was con-
suned at the cutlery works in Bridgeport.
The cost of transportation amounted to
quite an item, and one of the objects of re-
moving to Allegheny was to save this enor-
nous expense. The greater portion of the
finer machinery will be brought West, but
nothing that can be duplicated with ease
here will be transported that distance.
A GAIN FOR ALLEGHENY.
The removal of the plant will be quite a
loss to the New England town of Bridge
port, but it will also be a gain for Allegheny,
as it will give employment to a large num-
Der of men. 1t will do more 1t will extend
the manufacturing industry of this vicinity,
and while the New England people may
complain because they cannot obtain coal
and iron as cheap as these are purchaseable
elsewhere. the local people can congratulate
themselves upon the valuable extension
made in the manufacturing industry here.
A call was made last night at the residence
of Thomas Mcbride. Superintendent of the
LaBelle Works at his home in Allegheny.
Mr.. Mcbride corroborated the above ac-
count of the proposed removal and said he
Thought the new plant would be in operation
before winter.

KEEPING UP THE RECORD.

Two More Accidents Occurred Yesterday
on the Southside Electric Road.
The Pittsburg and Birmingham traction
added two men to its accident record
yesterday. John Reppermond, of West
Carson street, was struck by car 10, at the
corner of Eighth street, while driving down
Carson street in dog cart. The cart was
completely wrecked, and Reppermond bare
ly escaped with his life, being heavily
thrown and sustaining injuries.
An hour later No. 10 of the electric line
collided with No. of the horse car line at
Twelfth and Carson streets. The side of the
horse car was crushed in and the vehicle
hurled across the street. The horses were
thrown off their feet and the driver escaped
by leaping when he saw collision TO-
evitable.

WANTED TO CLEAR THE OFFICE.

Mrs. Farrell F1ourishes Her Umbrella Be-
fore Alderman McMasters' Face.
The Farrell family, OF the poison case
fame, were again before Alderman McMas-
ters yesterday. Mrs. Farrell had sued her
sister-in-law, Mrs. Annie Haslage, to recover
possession of her property at 6l5 Wylie ave-
nue. Mr. Farrell had rented the property
without his wife's consent. She claimed no
money had been paid, but her husband de-
clared he had received the rent regularly.
Mr.. Farrell explained that he had not any
authority to collect the money, but he had q
habit of taking everything in sight because
his wife was always drunk. At this Mrs.
Farrell flourished her umbrella and threat
ened to clear out everybody in sight. Her
attorney tried to quiet her. and she turned
on him. In the excitement the alderman
gave her possession and dismissed the case.

THREE BAD CHINAMEN.
Laundryman John Lee Calls Attention to
FeIIoy-Countrymen of Ill Repute.

Fellow-Countrymen of Ill Repute.
John Lee is an enlightened Chinaman of
Grant street who believes that the "Melican
mans" newspaper is power for good. He
called at The DISPATCH Office last evening"
and said he desired to warn his country men
against those Celestials whose record he said
was very bad. They were bad primarily,
because they had cut off their pigtails and
become Christianized, and also because they
sought to injure the law-abiding Chinese of
Pittsburg.
These man, whom John Lee calls Lee,
Teng and Leng, came here about two months
ago from New York, and instead ofearning
q living for themselves, sought to live of
the earnings of their counUrymen. Their
methods are to threaten. information to the
police of supposed wrongdoing by their
countrymen ii their demands for blackmail
are not satisfied. John Lee says they got
into trouble in New York, and when they
came here their record followed them, SO
that Pittsburg Celestials won't touch them.
