these bounties? ?"
"Oh, I don't know" said he, where
there's will there's way. There's the
income tax, that they could make as
heavy as they please, and they could put
some more on whiskey-whiskey will

"But suppose" said I, "the temperance
movement abolishes whiskey-whst
then ?" "Why, thep," said Uncle Jake,
smiling, "we would have such amillenni-
um we wouldn't need any. If whisky was
abolished it would save thousand mil
lions year to the country. Without
whiskey we would all get rich. Whisky
runs poorhouses and lunatic asylums and
orphans homes and jails and chaingsngs
and prisons of all kinds. Whisky runs
the courts and the taxes and pretty much
the lawyers and doctors, to say nothing of
broken vows and broken hearts. We
could afford to swap away every bounty
and pension and protection to get rid of
whisky, but we won't talk about that
now, fer it's not N sight. It's only a
hope, a dream. The devil will give up
everything before be will whisky"

AN EXTENSION OF TIME

To Be Asked for by George Westinghouse,
Jr.-Over 10000 Shares Have Been
Taken, but Other Arrangements Are In
complete-Jotn A. BrilPs Opinion.
George Westinghouse, Jr., arrived from
New York yesterday, and after a consulta-
ton with the local officials decided to ask
for an extension of the time in which the
40, 900 shares of preferred stock must be sub
scribed. He is of the opinion that the
whole matter can be Strengthened up within
15 days. Over 80, 900 shares have been dis
posed of, but the remainder of the 10000
must be sold as part of the first bargain.
Mr.. Westinghouse stated that his mission
to New York had proven highly successful
and that negotiations are now in progress
for large number of shares OF the pre-
ferred stock. Some OF the stockholders in
the company are expected to take consider
able of the stock. AT the Offices yesterday
letters were received from great many of
the outside creditors, while number of the
local creditors paid personal visits and all
took stock. Applications for blocks of the
stock are now coming in daily, which shows
that there is still plenty of confidence in the
concern.
John A. Brill, the Philadelphia street
car builder, was In the city yesterday. He
said he knew of several Eastern men who
were trying to secure control of the West
inghouse motor, and there was danger of q
valuable industry getting away from Pitts
burg. He took preferred stock for what the
company owed him. He added that three
fourths of the street railways being built in
the country will be electric roads.

and Run Over.

Newsboy Willie Sullivan Pushed From Ca,
and Run Over.
William Sullivan, 13-year-old newsboy,
is lying at the home OF his parents, 230j
Sydney street, Southside, suffering from in
juries that may cost him his life. Late
Friday afternoon the youngster jumped
upon Birmingham car on Smithield street
with bundle of newspapers under his arm.
The car was very much crowded. and he was
compelled to ride on the platform. When
the car had gone good distance up Carson
street the boy was either pushed or fell off.
He fell directly in front of heavy oil
wagon which was coming down the street,
and before the driver could stop his horses
one of the wheels passed over him, crushing
his left thigh. He was taken to his home,
where he was attended by DR.. c. G. Hers
man, who gives but little hope of his re-
covery. The conductor of the car. E. G.
Davis, and John Refer, the driver of the
wagon, were arrested and released in 81 900
bail each by Alderman Succop to await the
result of the lads injuries. The conductor
denied any responsibility for the accident,
claiming that the platform was crowded,
and in the jostling the boy lost his balance
and fell.

WORKING THE WRONG MAN.

Young Man Takes Detective McSweeney
for Sucker, but Skips When He Discov-
ers His Mistake-Not Much Counterfeir
Money in Circulation.
United States Detective Daniel McSwee-
nev was very much amused at the Union
depot last evening.
Dan likes to be taken for a countryman
once in a while, to have little fun with
crooked people. When the detective sat
down in the station, and put on an old-fash-
ioned pair of glasses, young man near by
sized him up, and reasoned that here was a
sucker, so he proceeded to coyly and gently
work hip. Mr.. McSweeney was very ac-
commodating and as green as grass, though
it would be a difficult job to find any hay
seed in his hair.
The crook told him about woman he had
met here, and incidentally he wanted to
know if Dan had travelled much. "Wall,"
the detective replied, 81 was to Bosting
once, but that was many years ago." The
detective did not recognize the fellow, but
he was drawing him out in most beautiful
fashion, when reporter accidentally spoiled
the fun. At the mention of the name Nc
Sweeney and a question about counterfeit
money the crook grabbed his grip and was
gone in twinkle. Dan wandered around
the depot in search of him, but he had
skipped. He laughed heartily afterward in
speaking of the experience.
To the question about how much counter
felt money is in circulation in the United
States he answered. 'I don't believe the
amount will reach more than 100000. 1
am sure there is not more than S15 of coun-
terfeit in circulation in Pittsburg. The
street car companies who handle coin extern
sively and the bankers will assure you that
what 1 say is true. Ask any of the street
car treasurers and they will tell you that the
amount ofcounterfeit taken in by them every
year is trifing sum. Counterfeiters are
watched too closely. and it is no easy job to
get their spurious coin into circulation

A FATHER CENsURED
For His Little Sons Connection With the
Death of Catherine Kopp.

For His Little Sons Connection With the
Death of Catherine Kopp.
Coroner Mcdowell yesterday afternoon
concluded the inquest on the body of Cath
crime Kopp, the 7-year-old girl who died
from the effects of an injury produced by
being struck with stone.
Catherine Griffith and John Griffith both
testified to having seen "Whitey" Gorgass
strike the girl with a lump of coal. DR.. j.
B. Sullivan testified to having attended the
little girl, and that her death was due to
erysipelas of the brain. The erysipelas
started from the wound ON the left eve. DR..
Sullivan also testified that the wound was
not necessarily fatal one had the child
been taken to a physician right away, but
she was allowed to run about and got cold
in the wound, resulting in erysipelas.
The jury returned verdict that the girls
death was due to erysipelas of the brain,
caused by blow from lump of coal or
stone at the hands of Cecil Gorgass, 4 years
and months old, and that the father, Ferris
Gorgass, be severely censurued for the overt
act of the child.
