WASTED TO SKELETONS.

Two Co1ored Children at the West Penn
Hospital With Cerebro-Spinal Fever
Attracting Attention-Their Combined
Weight Less Than 100 Pounds.
There are two rather remarkable cases at
the West Penn Hospital that are attracting
great deal of attention from the physi-
clans and are being closely watched. Henry
Richards and Matte Brown, two colored
children, have been under treatment for the
past two weeks for cerebro-spinal fever.
Their condition excites great deal of SYM
pathy for them on account of the extreme
and almost phenomenal emaciation of the
patients
Richards is 16 years old and feet
inches tall, and he is reduced to so pounds
in weight. His parents reside on Thirty
third street, and were too poorsto give him
the proper attention his case required, and
they had him sent to the hospital as
charity patient. When received he was al
most dead, and was unable to speak or move
limb.
Matte Brown was in even a more pros
trated condition. She is 13 years of age,
about feet 10 inches in height, and weighs
about 25 pounds. In appearance she is no
more than skeleton, and very repulsive to
look at. She is also a charity patient, her
mother being too poor to give her the proper
attention. She lived at Christy Park.
Both patients have improved greatly since
they were received at the hospital, where
every care and attention possible has been
given, and in all probability they will re-
cover. If they do, both will go on record as
remarkable cures

FOR LACK OF LEADERS.
Mr.. Mueh1bronner Says the Legislature
Won't Accomplish Much.

MIR. Muehlbronner says the Legislature
Won't Accomplish Much.
Representative C. A Muehlbronner, of
Allegheny, returned to Harrisburg last
evening. He is afraid his pure food bill is
knocked in the head for this session by the
action of the House in turning down the
general calendar to take up the Senate bills.
He will make fight this week to have the
bill placed on the calendar, but he has little
hope.
''The fact is" said Mr.. Muehlbronner,
'tthat few bills of public Importance have
been passed, and little good has been ac-
complished with all the work done. I
blan, it On bad management, as both
parties have been without leaders. There
was nobody to push things and insist
on concerted action. Pittsburg will
get considerable in the passage

will sign them all except the charter amend
ment. Mayor Gourley is certainly firing
some hot shot at present, but he could be
Just as effective if he didn't try to hit every
body. With no charter amendment 1 be-
lieve he will make it warm for the depart
ment chiefs. The slaughter of the Baker
ballot reform bill is another example of
poor engineering. 1 voted against the bill
because it failed to care for the man that
the bill! was intende to protect, the ignorant
voter. Another feature / didn't like was
that only one man counted the votes. Under
the present law three men see them, and
there is less opportunity for trickery at
this point"

YOUNG AND OLD LOCKED UP.

Second District Police Make Wholesale
Raids on Speak-Easies-A Beer Glass
Grazes the Head of OfRcer Whitehouse-
Thirty-O One Persons in Durance.
Inspector Whitehsuse, Captain Mercer
and Lieutensnts Schafer and Creamer, of
the Second police district, continued their
raids on speak-easies yesterday, and as re-
suit many of them came to grief The
Fourteenth ward station was so crowded
last night that the prisoners were given
quarters in the corridor, and they COM
prised nearly all ages from 1-year-old
child to the scar and yellow leaf.
Mita Rodgers place, on Second avenue,
was the first visited and the proprietor and
13 visitors were found and given ride in
the patrol wagon. The house of Joseph
Hanley, ON Boston street, furnished the
proprietor and one visitor, together with a
quantity. of beer, etc. Margaret Fogarty,
on Acorn street, also received the attention
of the squad, and Mrs. Fogarty, three
friends and lot of liquor were captured.
Mrs. McVay, of Canton street, was trife
too smart for the officers as she had antici-
pated their coming and escaped by jump
ing from second story window. The vlsl-
tors, three in number, were given quarters in
the lookup. James Cain, one of Saturday
nights unfortunates, paid fine of $50 and
costs, and on going home once more opened
up business. This move had been ex-
pected, and as result Mr.. Cain once more
languished in durance vile.
The house of Mrs. Ann Harrity, at the
head of Bates street, was the last visited.
The proprietress, with her five children,
ranging in years from 1 to 9, was sent to
the lookup, together with a male and female
visitor. At this house Inspector White
house had a narrow escape. Someone threw
a beer glass which just grazed his head, and
part of it stuck in the wall The total num-
Der of prisoners arrested was 81.

LESSONS OF A STRIKE.

How the Great Cokeworkers' Struggle
Affects a SIav Editor-Where He Thinks
the Fault Lies-Condition and Treatment
of His Countrymen.
The editor of the An,erikansko Szoyenske
Nouiny, the Pittsburg Slav paper, after a
several days personal visit to the scene of
the strike utters the following views of the
situation. His inquiries while in the region
were directed particularly as to the condi-
ton and treatment of the Slays in the strike.
and are important to degree, coming from
q Slav, and may, before the strike is over,
form an important factor in breaking or con-
tinuing it:
What example the Slavs may derive from
the present strike? The time has come to
decide for the Slavs as what to do; whether
to go to work or stay out; whether to be in
dependent or to be led by wrong leaders We
are speaking by experience, as we have trav-
eled through the coke region;we are sorry in
deed to acknowledge the sad fact that the
Slavs are tramped upon, and the English
play the bosses. When the relief comes for
the strikers we earnestly ask who gets it?
Perhaps the Slavs? oh, no! For instance,
the relief committee has received loads of
who do you think these eatables were dis
tributed to? Two Slav families, who were
on the verge of starvation, after pitiful beg
ging they were allowed to receive q sack Of
flour each, while the English-speaking strik-
ers are filling their stomachs with delfcacies
The English speaking strikers, principally
the leaders, never had better times than they
are enjoying now, and they are glad of
the fact that they don't have to work,
and to get all they want. At several places
the English-speaking men are at work,
while at some other plants they
promise anything and everything just
to elude the evictfons and your poor Slavs
have to suffer and nothing but suffer every
where. And whose fault is it that you are
continually suffering? 1t is your own fault,
yes indeed, because you do not know how to
make yourselves Independent, to free your
selves from the English speaking people for
you are listening to those who are mislead-
ing you right and left. We are convinced
that at several plants 200 or 800 Slavs
are controlled by five or six English
speaking men, who only laugh beb'-,d
your back, saying, "The slavs are stri' g
and we get the benefit of them" " !
there is any trouble occurring who will
sacrificed for their folly2 OF course
Slavs; none of the Germans or America
Since this strike is on did they murder ar
one outside of the Slavs? No.
Slavs! open once your own eyes and see it
for yourselves; the present strike may con-
vince you that you can stand upon your own
feet; do not listen to the English speaking
people who are always misleading you.

BECAME WEARY OF WAITING.

No Patrons Showed Up, So the Proprietor
Alone Was Arrested.
For some time the Allegheny police have
known that Henry Meyers was running a
speak-easy at Hope and Lacock streets and
warrant was sworn out for his arrest.
They did not wish to make the arrest
though until there were some people in the
place in order to be more certain about the
witnesses.
Yesterday Detective Kornman took the
warrant and watched the house all day, in
tending to raid it as soon as it had any
patrons. He waited until o'clock and no
one appeared. Becoming disgusted he went
in and arrested the man and placed him in
Central station.

Sunday riot cases at Morewood returned a
verdict, late last night, of guilty as to ten
of the defendants and not guilty as to seven.
Michael Barrett and William Coleman
were declared guilty without comment,
while the members of the brass band who
led the mob were recommended to the ex-
treme mercy of the Court. They are Rob-

The impression is that they will be let off
with light sentence.
Those acquitted of the charges are Charles
Fry, John Yendrack, James Lane, Michael

Mike Donough. Three more riot cases are
yet to be tried, and it is expected they will

was describing the anxieties and cares of his
business to customer, the other day, when

PUT OFF ONCE MORE.
The Duquesne Line Will Be in 0per-
alton on Wednesday Next
OVERALARGE PART OF ITS SYSTEM
The Pennsylvania Railroad Planning to
Retain Its Traffic.
REDUCING THE COST OF TRIP TICKETS

The cars on the Duquesne traction line
were to have been placed at the service of
the travelling public this morning, but ac-
tive operations have been deferred until
Wednesday. There is stated to be general
anxiety among motormen and conductors to
obtain employment on the Duquesne line.
This is because the work will be so much
lighter than on the old roads. The brake
power will be air instead of bone and
sinew. The motors are LARGE, the cars double
trucked, and the machinery for operating
much simpler and more effective than on
the other lines. The employees of the
Pleasant Valley and Birmingham Traction
companies are not content with their pres
ent employment. More than 1000 men have
been experimental with on the former since
the road opened, and the company does not
allow any Of its men to grow gray in its
service. The Birmingham Traction officials
are now trying five different kinds of mo-
tors.
With another line about to draw shekels
from its Golfers, the Pennsylvania road is
reported to, be considering means to keep its
local passenger trade. This can onl be
done BY making concessions, as t. reet
car company doesn't intend to C. emore
than 10 cents to Wilkinsburr
One of the agents of ~ ID said last
evening: eff it were - the charter of
the railroad, which requires a charge of 8
cents per mile, I think the company
would meet the street car fares,
but to do that corresponding reduction
would have to be made all along the line. I
think when the Duquesne commences to
run that the road will cut down the 54-trip
tickets to Williamsburg from 81 80 to So 80.
The single rate Of 20 cents will
probably be maintained. The road
could greatly increase its local
business by selling 6O-trip instead of "a for
the same price. In long months the 81
tickets limit man to two trips day, or he
will have to pay several full fares before
the time has passed. This would be a great
accommodation to the people. No change
will be made in the rates to East Liberty.
The Williamsburg tariff will apply also to
Brushton, Homewood and Torrens
''The Pennsylvania could reduce fares to
local points, and still make money, by
taking off some of the trains. / am afraid
we can never get back the business until
the depot is moved further down town."
The Dnquesne will run 35 cars, and busi-
ness will be inaugurated over the Ellsworth
avenue, the Highland and Negley avenues
and the Larimer avenue lines. The Thom-
son-Houston Company will be responsible
for operations on the road for 30 days Five
of its experts are here training men to the
use of the machinery.

Pillaged the Trunk While the Boss Was Out
Buying Cigars.
George Townsend was arrested for rob-
berry in Allegheny last night. He and
Hubbard Mansell, of Howard street, were
fellow workmen. Yesterday the latter in
vited Townsend to his home to drink some
beer. About O'Clock he showed Townsend
his money and then placed it in a trunk. A
little later Townsend gave Mansen quar-
ter and sent him out to buy tobacco. While
he was gone the friend went through the
trunk and took $40. Mansel discovered
the loss before his friend left and called in
policeman. The money was found on his
person.
When the prisoner arrived at the station
house Captain Agnew questioned him, and
Townsend admitted that he had served eight
years in the penitentiary for aason, COM
mitted at Johnstown. He also said he had
been sent up once before that in another
State-he could not remember for what, but
he thought it was for larceny.
