POVERTY, NOT CRIME.
At the Bottom of the Maryland
Avenue Baby Case

The mystery surrounding the burial
of the body of an infant on Maryland
avenue Friday by two men has been
cleared up. Officers Gerber and En-
gerth, of Rondo street station, followed
up the clue given by the description
of the horse and wagon used by the
men and located the driver as Anton
SUeinmetZ, a poor German living on Lyle
hart street. The autopsy On the chiid's
body shows that il was stubborn, and
Steinmetz told pitiful story TO Coroner
Quinn when questioned. His wife had
given birth to the child. and. being in
almost destitute circumstances. he de-
cided to bury the body, and was so en-
gagged when disturbed by a passer-by.
The body will be buried at the German
Lutheran cemetery by the county, and
Coroner Quinn stated that no steps
would be taken against the father, who
had acted in the manner stated through
sheer ignorance.

opinion that the railroads were not
compelled to construct d bridge at the

OF the companies TO comply, that in
structions be given the city attorney to

other has been secured 1t is a rOOmy
and well appointed home for the club.
When cold and frost and snow prevail.

longing eye at them.
John COgswell is at present president
OF the club. He was captain for three

HARD ON THE HEALTH.

Collector Warmcastie Sees q New Feature
of the Smoke Consumer Question.
Collector Warmcastle is following up his
effort to secure the general adoption Of
smoke consumers with great persistence.
The ordinance presented by him in Coun-
ellis will soon come up for final action, and
he is fortifying himself with facts and fig
ures to insure its passage. Yesterday he
enlisted the assistance of the Bureau OF
Health to furnish statistics showing the
number of cases of sickness and death
from throat and lung diseases during the
period when natural gas was the almost
universal fuel as against the number of such
cases when coal was the general fuel.
81 believe" said Mr. Warmcastle, 'that
this black smoke causes throat and lung
diseases l have noticed it in others, but
more particularly in myself. Before the
natural gas era, suffered slight but per-
sistent coughing, apparently coming from
an initiation of the bronchial tubes. Gradu-
ally as gas came and coal was dispensed
with, it passed away. did not even notice
it myself until lately the smoke has caused
its return. I believe coal smoke causes
other lung and throat diseases and that af-
ter the Bureau of Health goes over its
records we will find that from 1885 to 1890,
while gas was the general fuel there was a
marked decrease not only in cases but IN
deaths from diseases of the character named. :"

general topic of conversation. A neaY
friend, when asked if he could advance any
theory, said: "About a year ago George
suffered from Bright's disease. This is a
terrible thing to strong, robust man, such
as he appeared to be, and Have no doubt
was the real cause of the suicide. You
know when a man is down in his luck
he will have to look it square in the face to
meet it, and, suppose, George gave way
under the pressure of knowing that he had
but short time to live at best. One sad
feature is that he leaves a young wife to
bear the burden of his untimely end'
George Shiras, the third, who, perhaps, is
more Intimately acquainted with Mr.. Law
renee than any other man in Pittsburg, said
last night:
Terrible Blow to Friends.
''The news is an awful shock to me. In
deed, if were to have read of fPresidentH Harri-
son having committed suicide the blow could
not have been greater. I can attribute
this sad event but to one cause. About one
year ago he was slightly ill and a doctor
was called in, who told him that he was af-
flicted with Bright's disease, which would
sooner or later cause his death. There were
but few people who knew of this, however,
as Mr.. Lawrence was man of more than or
dinary courage and never complained.
Gas to his business in New York, know
it was of strictly legal nature. Just what
it was do not know. Last week received
a letter from him stating he would be home
in a week or so and seemed to be in rather
bright spirits AS to him having
been gambling at faro; it can
not be anything else than
falsehood, for George Lawrence was. too
honorable and high-minded man to ever
drift into that He was sometimes given to
speculating in stocks, but never to any great
extent. Even if he had and lost heavily he
would not have needed for money, as the
purses of his relatives and friends were ever
at his disposal. I feel sure that he took his
life during period of temporary insanity,
brought about by brooding over his dis
ease"

CHEF ELLIOT'S DENIAL.
He Takes No Stock in the Stories About the
New Poor Farm.

He Takes No Stock in the Stories About the
New Poor Farm.
Relative to the purchase OF the Alexan-
der property at Hutton for poor farm,
charges were made yesterday that Chief FL
liot had accepted the property at $3.50 an
acre. although within month previous the
Orphans Court had issued an order to Mrs
Alexander to sell it at S232 an acre. It was
also said the Chief had ignored farm of 165
acres belonging to George Lee and smaller
one belonging to Mrs. Marshall, both of
which were equally desirable, and had been
on the market for two wears at $3.50 an acre.
1t was further stated that the Alexander and
the portion of the Caleb Lee farm
included in the city's purchase had been
offered during the past two years at S215 an
acre and that therefore the city was being
robbed of 500, go on the Poor Farm pur-
chase Chief Elliot when asked about the
charges last night said:
George Lee never offered his property.
talked to him about it, but he made no
offer and gave no indication of any desire
to sell. 1 don't know thing about Mrs.
Alexander or an order of the Orphans
Court. As to the value of the land in
cluded in the purchase I know no more
about it than this: 1 gave notics to every
body with whom 1 negotiated that 1 would
deal only with owners or principals, and that
if found there was any intermediate per-
son getting a commission or anything
of that sort would have nothing to 10 with
the offer, also told them that 1 wanted
nothing but plain, honest offer at the
lowest price they wanted to sell for. 1 dealt
with them all on this basis and selected
the Alexander farm because it came nearest
to answering all requirements Mt what I
same property was offered at $500 an acre
last spring. Now. the matter has been
placed in the hands of Councils They can
deside whether to accept it or not. just as
they choose. II they see fit to set the Alex
ander farm aside and order me to try it
again I will make no objections, but don't
think I o. anybody else will be able to do
any better"

who were admitted TO the room where the
display WAS made was of the same style as
the Capitol at Washington, known as Ital-
ian renaissance. Its beauty was in its sim
plicity. A low dome took the place of a
heaven-reaching tower. The figures, of
which there were many, represented the
work and manners of the ancients, and like
the architecture of the building were
OF nature that will never
leave the mind of civilization.
Above the entrance door the words "Gift of
Andrew Carnegie" were printed in antique
letters surrounded by a wreath of leaves.
The names of Socrates, Plato, Epicletius
Alstoy, recall the men that science and
literature love and like every portion of
the design appeal to tine thoughts of ancient
days.
To the Other Extreme.
A design as nearly opposite the nature of
the first as could be imagined was one in
which all the finery of modern device was

incorporated in the plan. The architect
even offered some suggestions for landscape
work at Schenley Park. As this was not
called for, the committee ordered it covered
so that nothing but the building would be
left to view. The plan of the structure in
cluded main auditorium to be decorated
in way that would require
almost the entire donation. A dozen or
more towers were provided and figure work
that would necessitate the engagement of a
multitude of sculptors to complete in a
reasonable length of time.
Another architect seemed to have the
Western idea that the library building
would have to be low in orde: to escape a
cyclone. A flag staff is the only part high
enough above the earth to attract attention.
The figures are dim in the drawing and have
the appearance of angels blowing horns
The dropping roof makes the whole affair
look like an Indian wigwan, and q thou
sand guesses might be made before anyone
would say that it is design for library
building.
Another design.is plan of very long
building with two high towers on either
side of the entrance. 1t is unique in style
and attracted great deal of attention.
A Very Plain Structure.
A Boston architect was passing through
the city and brought design with him. 1t
is simple in its style and is among the few

the United States and Canada are repre-

Some contributors have evidently gotten
the wrong idea as to the character of building

been overlooked judging from what an
artist observed as he hooked at the plans

HENRICKs MAKES A STATEMENT.
He Defines the Duties of tho Allegheny
Auditors.

He Defines the Duties of tho Allegheny
Auditors.
In speaking yesterday of the charge made
by c. H. Dahlinger that DIR. Clifford had
attempted to prevent the auditors from
giving the Finance Committee certain in
formation, Chairman Henricks, of the sub
Auditing Committee, stated that he had
been responsible for preventing the auditors
from reporting to the sub-Finance Commit
tee. The auditors, he said, were getting in
formation from the street railway COM
panies' books to refute statements that the
first report was not correct.
The work necessarily had to be done slow,
and when the Finance Committee asked for
information before it was completed Mr..
Henricks informed the auditors that they
were under the instructions of the sub-Aud-
iting Committee and were not to give out
any information until they made report.
