PREFERRED DEATH TO ARREST.
Duncan Mckinney Throws Himself From a
Hotel Window Because He Imagines a
Constable Is After Him-Joseph Gus
churofsky Takes Rough on Rats.

Duncan Mckinney Throws Himself From q
Hotel Window Because He Imagines a
Constable Is After Him-Joseph Gus
churofsky Takes Rough on Rats.
Duncan Mckinney, aged 42 years, of VIII
low Grove station, jumped from a window
of the Union Hotel at Etna early yesterday
morning and was killed. Investigation
proved that he did so from fear of arrest.
The Coroner held an inquest in
the case yesterday afternoon. De-
velopments show that on Monday night
Mckinney called at the house of Mrs.
Rebecca Ward, at Glenshaw, q few miles
above Etna, and asked for her sons, for
merly residents of Willow Grove On learn
ing that they were not at home Mckinney
started for Pittsburg, but missing the train
walked to Etna, reaching the Union Hotel
about 1890 O'Clock. He talked with H. G.
Dunham in the hotel barroom, and said he
was feeling worried and tired. He said his
sister died seven weeks ago leaving q
daughter of Is and son of IA. The daughter
he had taken from Lawrenceville speak
easy few days ago and gave her a whip
ping.
For this, he said, she had sued him and
Constable Foster was after him to arrest
him. He had left his home to avoid arrest.
A few moments after II o'clock Mckinney
drank a glass of beer and asked for q bed
room. Nothing further was heard from
him until about o'clock yesterday morning
when Christ Graham, on his way to work,
UHt DOuyy COlu anu SUlH, lying
face down on the street directly beneath the
window. DIR. Kroesen examined the body
and found that both wrists and one leg were
broken, there were internal injuries and the
head had been injured, death resulting i'm
mediately. The Coroner learned that Con-
stable Foster, of Mansfield, had warrant
for McKinney's arrest on charge of assault
and battery, brought before Justice of the
Peace McMillin by the niece of McKinney's,
as he had stated.
From the evidence of all the witnesses and
other evidence gathered, it is believed Nc
Kinney, having a dread of arrest and the
law had left his home to avoid it. In this
condition, and brooding over the matter, he
retired, and, few minutes later, hearing the
proprietor and son coming upstairs to 60 to
bed, imagined it was a constable and Jumped
out of the window. The jury found a verdict
accordingly.
Joseph Guschurofsky, a German laborer
aged 40 years, attempted suicide about
O'Clock last evening at his home on the hill
above Twenty-ninth street, with q large dose
of trough on rats" He mixed the dose in a
cup of coffee. Immediately after drinking
the mixture he commenced to suffer- and
was taken to the West Penn Hospital, At
late hour last night he was not expected to
live Domestic troubles were the cause.

CHARGES OF INCONSISTENCY.
City Treasurer Denniston Strongly Objects
To the Action of Governor Pattison in
the West Penn Hospital Matter - Re-
sents the Charge of Mismanagement.

To the Action OF Governor Patt1son In
the West Penn Hospital Matter - Re-
sents the Charge Of Mismanagement.
All those connected with the West Penn
Hospital are still considerably put out about
Governor Pattison's veto of the bill allow
ing the institution $32 900 to make up def
icit. City Treasurer Denniston, who is Sec
retary of the executive committee of the
hospital, is very indignant. In speaking of
it yesterday he said:
"Governor Pattison has not only acted in
consistently in refusing the money, but has
taken occasion to accuse us of reckless mis-
management, an imputation which all those
connected with the hospital resent. We
give much Of our own personal attention, as
well as our monej, to the institution in
the endeavor to have it conducted
as such an institution should be and are re-
warded by being publicly denounced as in
capable of doing things in a businesslike
way, of following improper courses, for
which the Commonwealth, through its ex-
ecutive head, must chastise us as if we were
a lot of rascals using the hospital for pri-
vate gain. Two years ago the hospital re-
ceived an appropriation of $25 600 per year
for charitable cases. This sum was found to
be inadequate, but instead of turning away
scores of sufferers they were taken in and
cared for. This made q deficit of $40, 900 each
year, or $32, 600 altogether.
There are two features of the case that
show the Governors inconsistency. He
agrees to grant the hospital 1000 per year,
instead of ST., 600 for charitable purposes in
the future, while he declines to allow the
payment of the deficit caused by the same
thing during the two years just passed. If
the money is necessary one time, how can
he argue it is not necessary at an
other, when the conditions are the same.
In the second place he says he has en-
deavored to follow the State Board of
Charities in granting money. 1t the case of
the West Penn Hospital the State Board not
only recommen led the S32 600 in question,
but $50, 600 in addition for the payment of an
old debt, which latter sum was taken out
before the bill went to the Governor. The
board unanimously found the hospital
worthy of $4,000 The Governor refused to
grant the $l22, 900 asked for"

GOT ALL IT WANTED.
The P, A. & M. Traction Company Holds
All the Routes to Woods Run-It Is
Granted an Extension of Time and
Everything Else in Sight.

The p, A. & M. Traction Company Holds
All the Routes to Woods Run-It Is
Granted an Extension of Time and
Everything Else in Sight.
Allegheny Common Councils met last night
and the Pittsburg, Allegheny and Man.
chester Traction Company got everything
that it wanted. The only man who saw that
this road was capturing all the routes to
Woods Run below the Ft Wayne road was
Mr.. Eshelman but he could not induce his
colleagues to see the point. Mr.. Rippey bub-
bled over few times but subsidized when
Mr. Knox introduced resolution to bring
Mr.. Rippey before the Mayor and make him
prove that Councilmen had accepted bribes
The resolution was adopted unanimously.
When the body was called to order it
looked SO quiet that the Chairman did not
think it necessary to call the gentlemen to
deposit their pistols with the clerk. The
suspected quiet attitude showed itself with
the ordinance granting the p, A. & NJ an
extension of time until October l. 1t was
passed almost unanimously and without
debate. Next came the resolution granting
the Union line permission to use the tracks
of the Manchester line from Washington
avenue to Beaver avenue. and thence by
wav of Island to Preble avenue Mr. Eshef-
man offered an amendment that in consider
alton the Union line relinquish their rights
on the following named streets: Beaver and
Washington avenues, Market street and
Stanton avenue, thence along private prop
erty abutting Preble avenue and thence to
Island avenue.
Following this n full mai ority of Common
Council got up and declared themselves op-
posed to the amendment. Mr.. Knox held
that if this route were cut OFF, access to
Woods Run might be cut off at any time, be-
cause part of the route now in use was on
private property, the owner of which could
at any time stop the line. A. M. Neeper,
Secretary of the company, made practically
the same statement.
All amendments were lost, however,
and the ordinance as originally pre-
sented was passed. After this came
the ordinance granting the contract
to Thomas Carlin's Sons for the castings
needed by the Board of Public Works. An
street was passed The Auditing Committee
reported progress. Mr.. Knox offered reso-
luton fixing salaries in the Board of Public
Works. Mr.. Schondelmeyer also offered a
resolution directing the Pleasant Valley
Company to remove its tracks on the north
and south side of Ohio street TO the center.

ANOTHER TEST CASE.
A Marble Cutter Claims Damages for Being
DISCHARGED.

suit against Charles F. Miller, R. j. Green
way, j. c. Carey and Alex McClelland, mem
Ders of the Granite Cutters Union, for dam
ages. Campbell states that he is a granite
cutter. He is not a member of the Granite
Cutters Union. He was employed in Samuel
foung's marble works, but on the Goth inst.
the defendants quit their work and went to
Mr. Young and demanded Campbelps dis
charge.
They said that if he would refuse to dis
charge Campbell they would quit and stop
his works. Campbell was discharged and is
now deprived of means of earning living
for himself his wife and child. Under the
rules of the association named he cannot get
work here or elsewhere at his trade. The
reason for the action against him was that
he Was not a member of the union. Mr..
Young, he says, is willing to hire him, but
can't for fear of having his works closed:
damages are asked and a capias was issued
for the arrest of the defendants, the bail be-
ing fixed at $500 each.

How a Nervous Groom Registered at ii

went into the Seventh Avenue Hotel last
evening and registered 'tman and wife,

WILL NOT ADJOURN TODAY.

The Busine IS of the AmaIgamated Associa-
ton Still Piling Up.
The Amalgamated Association will not
adjourn to-day as was expected it would do.
The extended conference with the manu-
facturers and the long drawn out discussions
of the orators in the convention have de-
layed matters somewhat, and it is now
thought that it will be tomorrow evening
before an adjournment can be reached. The
committees have not yet all reported, and
much of the business that has been reported
has not been disposed of.
The Conference Committee has not yet ar
rived at any definite agreement with the
manufacturers, but it is thought the confer
ence will end to-day. The nine hour clause
seems to be the cause of a great deal of
trouble. The manufacturers have not yet
come to understand how the proposed plan
is very likely the clause will be somewhat
modified.

RUSHING RIGHT ALONG.

Work on the Moon Run Railway PROCESS
ing at q Rapid Rate.
Rome wasn't built in day, and it is seldom
that railroad is built in one season, but the
Moon Run Railway builders are put up that
way. The grading of the road will be
finished, says Contractor Moran, in 10 or II
days, and the laying of the rails has almost
kept up with the grading. The primeval
solitudes of Moon run were awakened
yesterday morning by the scream of the
locomotive as far up as the first station after
leaving Groveton.
1t is expected that coal will be hauled over
the road before the end of next month,
though the first pick was struck into the
ground later than Washington's birthday.

In his address to the French pilgrims
who recently visited Rome, the pope
said:
We notice with pleasure that the
leaders of important industries have al
ready studied the application of our en-
cyclical, and that governments also have
not been indifferent to it. There is need
of immediate action, without loss of val
liable time in fruitless Investigations;
the undeniable fundamental principles
must be applied. 1t must be left to ex-
perience and time to illuminate the dark
points unavoidable in such complicated
questions. Utilize the hours of rest
granted you by your employers for the
discharge of religious duties. In your
work be industrious and docile. Avoid
the goddess, especially those who under
the name of socialists seek to break down
to your detriment the existing order of
society.
