gret that they see him called away at peri
cd when he should reap the fruits ofh his cease
less labors To his indefatigable zeal and
unswerving perseverance does the company
owe not alone its present prosperous condi-
tion but also promising future. 1t has
been the good fortune of his associates on
this board to profit by that wisdom Of coun-
sci and rare business sagacity which have
long rendered him distinguished citizen
ofPittsburg. They recognize in his devo-
tion to the trusts reposed in him q common
concern for all those connected with him.
His untiring energy has proved profitable,
not alone to his enterprises, but Us well to

LOUDLY WAS DEsP0NDENT.
A Professional Nurse Takes a Large Dose Of
Laudanum and Dies.

A Professional Nurse Takes Large Dose Of
Laudanum and Dies.
James Loudly, 81 years old, who was a
professional nurse by occupation, commit
ted suicide last night at his house, 63O7
Shakespeare street, East End, by taking an
overdose of laudanum. Loudly was single
man, and lived with his sister at the above
address. For some days past he has been
Respondent, but Just what about no one
appears to know. Yesterday afternoon he
left his home, and, returning about $50,
went to his room, and halfhour later his
sister found him lying ON the bed with.a
laudanum bottle by his side. DR.. Walters
was called and did what he could, but
Loudly was too far gone and died about s
o'clock.
Judge Hyndman held an inquest last
night, at which DR.. Walters testified that
Loudly had died from an overdose of lauda-
mum: he had apparently taken too much of
the poison. This would not kill healthy
man so quickly, but Loudly was broken
down. D. w. Webber, drug clerk for
Markell Bros, testified that he sold Loudly
two ounces of laudanum yesterday, He
knew Loudly to be professional nurse, and
as is customary sold drugs as readily to him
as to physician.
The jury found q verdict of death by sui
eide,

ESCAPED FROM A SHERIFF.

Thomas O'NeilI, q Notorious Burglar, ficks
the Lock on q Pair OF Handcuffs With
Pen-Recaptured After q Lively
Chase.
Sheriff McCloskey, of Clear6eld, had an
exciting experience shortly after noon yes
terday at the ST. James Hotel He had
nine prisoners that he was taking to the
penitentiary. With him were Deputy
Sheriffs Frank C. Wrigley, Fred johnson,
j. NJ. Bloom and F. NJ. Carbon. The kind
hearted officer gave the criminals good
dinner and then bought the cigars. While
Frank Newell, the hotel clerk, was passing
them around to the manacled men standing
before the counter, Thomas O'NeilI, no.
torious burglar, suddenly snapped the
handcuff on his wrist and darted out of the
door. A colored man and O'Neill had been
fastened together. His companion was so
surprised by O'Neill's break for liberty
that he made no effort to escape, and one Of
the deputies grabbed the handcuff dangling
from his arm.
O'Neill ran swiftly down Liberty street
and turned down the first alley. The Sher-
iff aud Wrigley followed him. McCloskey
fired two shots at the fugitive, but neither
took effect. As luck would have it, the
burglar ran into the arms of big police
man from the East End, who happened to
be near by. O'Neill was captured on
Twelfth street. When they reached the
penitentiary Warden Wright recognized
O'Neill at once as q former inmate. He
was sentenced for two years and six months,
but McCloskey said if they had known him
in Clearfeld he would have gotten five
times his dose. When O'Neill was ex-
amined three valuable diamonds were found
in his clothes. He had been in the Clear
field Jail for three months, but he managed
to conceal them. He had pen, also, and
with this he cleverly picked the lock on the
handouts. 1t is supposed he got it from
the hotel counter during the slight confu-
sion raised in passing around the cigars.
He is noted burglar.

SHOWING THEM THE ROAD.

How the B. & o. Expects to Raise Large
sum of Money in Europe.
Several foreign capitalists who claim
they have money invested in the B. & o.
road are inspecting the system. They
arrived in the city last evening and regis
tered at the Monongahela House. In the
party were A. A. H. Boisevain and G. f.
Blake, London; f. De Hahn, Amsterdam
and R. F. Fleming, Dundee. They were
accompanied by Third Vice President c. K.
Lord, Chief Engineer H. M. Brown, Geo.
c. Jenkins, of Baltimore, and L. S. Allen,
of Chicago.
The party had been in the West and
came over the Pittsburg and Western and
the Akron branch from Sandusky. To-
day they will go to Cumberland.
One of the gentlemen said they had
never been over the line and wanted to see
it. The B. & o. has issued large amount
of new stock and bonds for the purpose of
putting the system into irst-class condi-
tion. The foreigners are expected to put
up the cash, hence the close inspection.
When they return home they will make a
satisfactory report for the benefit of the
European money markets.

DIED IN A CELLAR,
With No Person to Comfort Her but an
lmbecile Boy.

With No Person to Comfort Her but an
lmbecile Boy.
Mrs. Catharine Schroeder, an aged widow,
died yesterday morning in the basement OF
No. 119 Wylie avenue, with no one to at
tend to her but an imbecile son. She had
been ill three or four weeks, but the weak
minded young man had told nobody Of it
and did not know enough to do anything
for her. Asthma and heart failure were the
direct causes of her death.
The son had formerly been at the Poor
Farm, but the mother took him away to
take care of her. Mrs. Schroeder was for
merly well off, but of late years has been
unable to earn any money aud her funds
have gone She has one son IN the West
and daughter, aged IS, who is being raised
by an East End family.
For the past year the widow and her
crazy boy have lived in their miserable
quarters. Mrs. Jennie Smith, colored
lady living above, kindly allowed them the
use of the basement free of rent. The coro-
ner sent the body to the Morgue yesterday,
and the Department Of Charities took charge
of the son.

FORGERY AND FRAUD.
Two More Charges Against Theodor'
Doerfiinger Filed.
A BUILDING AND LOAN SOCIETY
Wants Redress for Nearly Seven Thousand
Dollars Taken.
SIGNED A LADY's NAME TO WARRANT

Two more suits have been entered against
Theodore Doerfinger, the defaulting
Treasurer of the Franklin School Board.
One is for embezzlement and the other for
gerry. This time the Modern Building and
Loan Association is making the move.
Doerfinger was Treasurer of the association,
and, according to the statement of the Off
GERS, converted nearly 81, 900 of the funds to
his own uses
As soon as the School Board and other
troubles were made public an audit Of the
Treasurer's books was ordered by the di-
rectors of the Modern. In few days evil
dence of a shortage was discovered, but
nothing substantial could be obtained until
the completion of the audit.
This work was finished few days ago
and the results were found sufficient for
legal proceedings. President j. H. Cros-
key yesterday afternoon went before Alder
man McMasters and made information
against Doerfinger for embezzling Sc, 918 19
from the Modern Building and Loan Asso-
citation. A second information was then
made charging Doerfinger with forging the
name of Miss Sadie Johnston to warrant.
"Doerhinger's methods with our associa
School Board" said President Croskey last
night. "Warrants were issued to stock
holders from time to time for dividends.
The sums ranged from $40 to $780, When
these warrants were presented to Treasurer
DoerAinger for payment he would take the
papers and then put off the stockholders
with some excuse or other, telling them
they would get their money in a few days.
From time to time he would plead
various prete1ts, in the meantime
devoting the money to his own uses. 1t is
surprising to me that none of the stockhold-
ers ever reported the matter to any of the
officers. The audit shows DoerHinger began
this work July %. There is not much
chance of our ever being able to secure the
meney. The loss will do no harm to the
association beyond reducing the dividends
for the next two years"
The charge of forgery is based on the
claim that Doerfinger forged the name of
Sadie Johnston to warrant for . stock
note of the association. This was done
June 20. President Croskey says there is
no doubt about the forgery

The Chamber Of Commerce Passes Appro-
pirate Resolutions on His Death.
The meeting of the Chamber of Commerce
yesterday W as not well attended. No busi-
ness of Importance was transacted. The
meeting opened with j. B. Scott in the
chair. The following resolution was sub
mitted and approved:
Once more death has entered our ranks
and removed one of our members, and it be-
comes the Chamber to give expression to its
sense Of loss, and record its high apprecia-
tion of him whose death we mourn; there
fore,
Resolved, In the unexpected death Of
Charles Meyran, SO full Of energy and good
deeds, this Chamber has lost one of its most

which have so frequently, in the year tnat
has passed, appealed to the Chamber for
sympathy and help.
Resolved, That copy Of these proceed
parted fellow member with the assurance OF
the Chambers profound sympathy with
them in this hour OF their great aftiiction.

A. Kelly, in which he appointed commit
Chairman, to be known as the columbian

SHUT OFF pOLICEMEN's FEES.

Millvale Borough Officers No Longer Re-
ceive Seventy Five Cents Bonus for Each
Arrest Made-The Number OF Arrests Is
Now Diminishing.
Millvale law and order offenders are feel
ing as safe just at present as desperadoes in
q new Western town. The suburban bor-
ough's two police officers are taking life
easy and recuperating after six months
hard labor-not in bastile, but while fol-
lowing their regular avocations. Hitherto
the Police Court of the lively town was
noted for the number of cases that came be-
fore it, but since December business has
been an unknown diversion. At the same
time two industrious s'peelers" are mourn
ing lost bonanza and cussing the borough
authorities who shut down on giving their
defenders IS cents for every person s'run
in"
The Millvale police department was Or
ganized last June. Alderman kehm was
deputized to hold the hearings, and there
being nothing in the code to the contrary,
he levied IS cents on each man found guilty
for the benefit of the arresting officer. Un-
like the method pursued in Allegheny,
however, he turned the money over to the
policemen, and they in turn hustled out to
get more victims. If man happened to
stumble over broken board in the side
walk he was arrested for being drunk; or if
he asked friends for chew of tobacco he
was marched away to be told that he was
vagrant. In this way the town gained q
reputation for order, and at the same tine
the Golfers Of the policemen were filled.
But things are different now. At meet
ing OF Councils on December it was de-

said to have been almost broken. and only a

Caught q Bold Colored Crook,

Frank Sampson, colored, declared by the
Allegheny police to be dangerous crook,
was arrested by Officers Schlotter and Nc
Keown on Buena Vista street, Allegheny,
at 2 o'clock yesterday morning after long
chase. He was attired in housebreaker's
outfit and had pair of woolen socks drawn
over his shoes to muff1e his tread.
Sampson is accused of attempting rob-
berry at the house of Mrs. Hammond, No. 60
Sheffield street. on Saturday night, and was
domestic. 1t is said Sampson was released
from highway robbery sentence in the
penitentiary month ago, and his photo
graph has been in the rogue's gallery for
several years. The police have been look
ing for him for two weeks.

CLAIMS OF FRAUD.
One of Ben Trimble's Heirs Sues for
Her Share of the Property.
REAL ESTATE MEN IMPLICATED.
Mrs Graham Alleges That She Received
but $50 for Her Share,
AND ASKS THAT DEEDS BE CANCELLED

A bill in equity was filed yesterday, by
Attorneys Wise and Miner, III behalf of
Virginia Mckee Graham and her husband,
Horace Graham, against James P. Quinn,
Jane Callahan, Jacob c. Allies and Ter
renee Daley, to recover a one-eighth interest
in the Staley Hotel, formerly the property
of the late Ben Trimble.
Mrs Graham is the daughter Of the late
James Mckee and Marietta Mckee, and is
q granddaughter of the late Ben Trimble.
The petition recites that Mrs. Graham was
fraudulently induced to sign a deed for the
property by Allies and Daley, who afterward
transferred it to Mrs. Jane Callahan, the
present owner. James Quinn was the trus-
tee of the estate. Mrs. Graham alleges that
on October 1S, 1889, after the death of her
mother, she was induced to execute deed
to them for her interest in the property,
now valued at several thousand dollars, for
$500, of which she was paid only $50.
Signed the Deed While Intoxicated.
She also alleges that if the deed was
signed by her husband, it was when he was
intoxicated and not capable of attending to
business. Mrs. Graham is we'll known in
Pittsburg. About four years ago she went
to West Virginia to marry. She was dis
appointed, and for two weeks she was mys-
teriously missing. Her friends we're fear
full that she had taken her life, and her body
was searched for during her absence. She
was finally found in Allegheny, and later
she married her present husband.
The property in dispute is one of the best
/. known places in the city. The yard in the
rear of the hotel building was formerly used
as lumber yard. What is now the hotel
building was, back in 1857, used as vari-
etv show house and beer hall. At that
time it was famous resort.
AFamous Piece Of Property.
Harry Williams, Of the Academy of
Music, was leading man in the great variety
of combinations that appeared there. He
there gained the notoriety and popularity
that has since made him rich, and he has
made several attempts to purchase the prop
erty. Harry Williams succeeded the famous
Trimble in the management of the place.
After moving his playhouse to its present
location, the old resort was renovated and
was transformed into hotel, and for long
time was known as the Hamilton Hotel.
Within year the property renovated and
changed, and is now known as the Hotel
Staley.
The Trimble heirs, eight in number, are
all living save Mrs. Mckee. 1t is believed
that the present contest, if successful, will
bring the property back into their hands.

FRED GwINNRR's BIG PURCHASE.
He Buys the Old p, A. & M. Car Stables TO
S32, 500 rs an Investment

He Buys the Old p, A. q M. Car Stables for
|. S32,5oO rs an Investment.
The old '..short line" stables of the Pitts
burg, Allegheny and Manchester Railway
Company, on Beaver avenue, together with
the property attached thereto, were sold at
public sale yesterday afternoon. John D.
Bailey was the auctioneer, Fred Gwinner,
ST., was the purchaser and So, 500 was the
consideration.
The sale was advertised to take place at
$50 O'Clock on the premises. At that hour
a dozen well-known capitalists were assem-
bled making an examination of the property.
Auctioneer Bailey announced that the
ground fronted 204 feet on Beaver avenue,
ran back 120 feet on Greenwood, formerly
Walnut street, to Laurel alley, on which it
fronted 2O4 feet, and thence 120 feet back to
Beaver avenue along the property of
Phelps, Parke & Co. 1t was free from all
the mortgages or encumbrances resting on
the other property of the company.
Fred Gwinner, ST., after a consultation
with his son Fred, stepped into the middle
of the circle surrounding the auctioneer,
and as soon as the opportunity presented,
made the first bid, S27, 900. Commodore
Koontz, between whom and Gwinuer it is
well understood that friendly feelings
90 not exist, was stanulHg near anu ne DlQ
$50 more. Gwinner made it S27, 500;
Koontz went him $50 better; Gwinner
raised him to $4,000; Koontz saw him
another $50, and thus it went on, only the
two men bidding. Koontz bidding $50 and
Gwinner hundreds, until So, 800 was
reached, when Koontz bid S32, 400. Gwin-
ner thereupon bid s32, 500, and there being
no further response from Koontz the sale
was closed
Afterward the Commodore declared that
the property was worth every cent of S40,-
600, and if he had any use for it would have
bid that high to get it. Mr.. Gwinner says
he paid about all the property was worth,
and his view seemed to be that of other men
present. He has no definite purpose in
view, merely buying the property as an in
vestment, he SAYS, and for awhile will use
the stables for his horses. Mr.. Gwinner is
one of the oldest and most extensive con-
tractors in this county, and he is also one
of the largest stockholders in the p, A. &
NJ Traction Company.
