City Attorney of Pittsburg for years, and in
that position necessarily became converssnt
with matters pertaining to street legislation,
and, in fact, drafted much of it. A decision
from him will have much weight.
Chief Bigelow felt relieved yesterday
when he knew that the attorneys had de-
cided upon definite course of action. He
said: I'VE will get decision from the Su.
preme Court in time to have new street act
passed at this session of the Legislature. 1t
is likely that one of the bills already pre-
sented and on the calendar will fill all the
requirements, but if not we will amend 1t 10
meet the views of the Supreme Court,
and in that way we will lose
no time. Just as soon as we
get the decision and know just where we
stand, we'll have a curative drafted and pre-
scented to the Legislature. BY this means
we Will be enabled TO settle up the street i'm
provements just completed or SILL under
way. 1 think the amount of contracts at
fected by Justice Williams decision is not
near so large as many people imagine, and
think the city's loss on this work will be
very small, if, indeed, she loses dollar"

Mothers Anxious to Dispose of Their Chill
dren-Two Figured in Police Circles
Yesterday-Mrs. Parnan, of East Lib
erty, Again Deserts Her Infant Child.
Infant children seem to be grow ing unpopu-
lar in Pittsburg. Every few days some of
the charitable institutions or societies are
called on to find homes for foundlings. Yes
terday only two cases were reported.
A young woman, who gave her name as An.
ME Mckinley, called at the office of the Hu-
name Society, with 3-weeks-old babe in her
arms, which she said she wanted to give away
to some person. She did not care just who got
the child. as she stated to Agent O'Brien that
see nor hear of it again. She stated that she
had given birth to the child at Fallston, Beaver
county, January last. When she became suf-
ficiently strong she brought :he child to Pitts
burg. with view OF getting it put away some
place at once. For time, she said. she stopped
at any place she could get lodging. She finally
landed in convent, where she had the child
taken care of until they sent her to the HUI
manc Society yesterday. The child was taken
charge of by the Humane Society after the
proper papers were made out and signed by
her. 1t was sent to the Troy Hill Orphan
Asylum in Allegheny to be reared
The infant child of Mrs. Mary Parnan alias
Kate Keenan,. again turned up In police
circles. Mrs. Parnan, it will be remembered,
left her babe, when only a few days old, upon q
doorstep in the East End several weeks ago.
She was then arrested, but subsequently dis
charged upon her promise to take care of the
child. The other day she visited former
friend, Mrs Lizzie Clark, in the rear of No. ~
Washington street, and remained couple of
days. On Wednesday she started out to look
for employment, leaving the child with Mrs.
Clark. she has not been heard of since, and
Mrs. Clark being in straitened circumstances
and delicate health, could not take care of II.
She reported the matter to the police last
night, ands an order is out for Mrs. Parnan's

KENTUCKY TO THE FRONT.

Lubricating OIL WORTH Five Times as Much
as the Northern Product-Found at a
Depth of Three Hundred Feet-Pitts-
burgers Interested.
Kentucky has developed product lately
that not only throws Bourbon whisky into
the shade, but promises to destroy the lard
oil business. 1t is a lubricating oil pro-
nounced by experts to be worth five or SIX
times as much as either that of Mecca, Ohio or
Venango in this State.
Mr.. Bracken, of Bracken & Vincent Mercer
county was met in the office of Marshall Ken
nedy & Co. yesterday. and he stated that ttey
had struck lubricating oil in Lawrence county,
KY. at a depth of 300 feet. The produc.
the well makes some days as much as
15 barrels, on others much less, but an average
of one barrel day on few wells would be
equal to q mint All the product so far has
been contracted by a South Carolina Railway
Company at so cents gallon. AS Iu0ricator
it is preferred to lard oil. Mr.. Bracken said
that the main cost so far had been building
rigs and that the well in question. after the
rig had been built, cost him S7l to drill.
Bracken & Vincent have leased 10000 acres
of land in the vicinity. and Mr.. Bracken's
mission to this city is to secure portable rigs
for drilling shallow wells, and which will make
the cost of operating very small. He is also
distributing samples of the oil for testing
purposes. Mr.. Bracken has been engaged
in the oil business for long time. He operated
at Pit Hole City, and had an interest in the
Twin wells, near the pioneer United States
well. which produced the Pit Hole fever. He
finally purchased this famous well. after she
was run down at the heel, from Sheakly for S5
This is near the same neIghborhood in which
the Kentucky Southern Oil Company is located,
in which several Pittsburgers are interested
r. w. Carroll, local manager of the American
Tube and Iron Company, is one of the stock
holders, and stated not long ago that the Ken
tucky field promises an adequate supply for
the entire Southern market at a lower rate
than can be secured in the North.

in search of the ''land and work. which they

LOOKING FOR HIS IDA.

John c. Kistner Would Like to Find His
Pretty Little wife-Mystery Surround

Mayor Gourley-Divorce Proceedings
Threatened.
John c. Kistner, a good-looking young
man, would like to find his pretty little wife.
if only for long enough to tell her that he
Will get divorce il she does not return to
his bed and board, and incidentallysperform
such little chores as preparing meals and
making the bed. ;.
Considerable mystery surrounds Mrs.
kistner's disappearance. Last April Kist-
ner married Ida E. link, of Allegheny. The
bride was but is years old, anda petite
brunette. The newly-married couple took
up their residence in little house in Beltz-
hoover borough. and for months everything
moved along smoothly. Kistner is a tool
rolisher, worked steadily and made good wages.
MIS-. hlstncr attended to her household duties,
did not insist upon opera bOnnets and a seal
skin sacaue, and was generally well-behaved.
Last Saturday Mrs. Kistner stayed out rather
late, and on Sunday was reproached by her
husband. The storm apparently passed over.
and on Monday morning kistner went to his
work as usual. When he returned in the even
ing his wife was absent the house was cold and
cneerlesS, and there were no signs of supper.
klstner didn't like this sort of thing very
much. but did not say much, as there was no
one TO say it to, except himself, and mono
logue soon becomes monotonous He ate a
cold supper, and after sitting up until a late
hour awaiting his wife. went to bed. In the
morning, his wife not having returned, Kistner
went in search of her. Her parents had not
seen her, and a tour of the hospitals and other
public institutions furnished no clew. Mrs.
kistner had not taken her best clothing, and it
was NOT probable that she had premeditatedly
started out on long journey
kistner continued his search. but without
avail. until yesterday afternoon, when he deter
mined to ask the assistance of Mayor Gourley,
whose name he had seen in the newspapers.
He told his story in the Mayors Office yester-
day afternoon.
Il cannot imagine where my wife has gone"
said Kistner. .She had no bad habits that
know of, and don't believe she knew the taste
pretty; at least, think so. and believe other
people do, too. have searched everywhere,
but can lind no trace of her. The only time we
ever had any trouble was on Sunday, when 1
talked to her about staying out the night be-
fore. 1would like to know if she has left or il
she has met with some misfortune. If she has
gone away from me l am going to apply for q
divorce right away. A man who works all day
doesn't want to go home at night and cook his
own supper and make his own bed. If do not
find her by Saturday am going to break up
housekeeping" -,
Mayor Gourley has his opinions about appro-
priations. free bridges, parks and such matters.
but is not an expert in recovering runaway
wives, and therefore could offer the bereaved
husband but little consolation.

SAVED BY A SCRATCH.

How Harrison Managed to Be Elected-A
Scheme to Throw Three states to CIeve-
land That Was Discovered in Time
Danger In the West.
Il suppose you never heard how Harri-
son almost lost the Presidency" said Joseph
Eaton, an Ohio Republican who was pass
ing through the Union depot last even
ing. There was scheme on
foot among prominent Republicans
in Ohio. Michigan and Indiana to throw these
three states for Cleveland, and only its prompt
mG,scoyeTy ms early in the campaign by some Of
Leading Republicans in these States had
signed an agreement TO this effect, and
you would be- surprised to know
some of their names. Quay imagined New
York was the great battle-ground, and he
never dreamed there was any danger in the
West. When he heard. therefore. of what
yasa Tas going and on vs ne was almost para
rest. 1t is matter OF history.
Indiana was flooded with money and orators
and the leaders of the revolt in the other two
States were called off. 1t was about this time
that Dudley and Michener appeared in Pitts
burg one Sunday afternoon and received a bag
OF gold from Pittsburg politicians at the Monon-
gahela House 10 help to save Indiana. You
see the facts tell you tally with the history of
tnat memorable campaign. if you remember.
1t was great game of political treachery,
ana sometimes am sorry 1r did not work.
Harrison suspected that General Alger was in
the deal, and he has been treated quite shabbily
by the administration. To placate Alger
and his forces. after the nomina-
tion of Harrison. the General was
offered the Secretary of Warship. but he
never got it. Wher Harrison heard of the
plot to do him lie was surprised and fright
ened. Whether Alger was opposed to Har-
rison or not he never got anything. and since
then his name has been allowed to drop. About
year ago he attempted TO revive interest in
himself by making tour of the country
and delivering Grand Army speeches, but no
lican leaders kept away from him. 1t Is even
claimed by the Presidents adherents that
Alger was in hand ami glove with the Old
Roman when he made his famous tour of the
Lake region, and was enthusiastically received
wherever he went. But when Quay became
acquainted with all the facts he as too much
for the dissatisfied ones, and the great battle
was fought in Indiana.
Now word as to Harrison. He is very
stubborn man and wants TO do everything him.
self He is enough Of Presbyterian to believe
that he was fOreordained to be President, and
that he would have been elected anyhow, no
matter whether hard work done
for him or not by Quay Dudley and
the others. The fact that scheme originates
with Blaine means sure death tn it, and you
are more certain to secure the Presidents ia

preacher in Indiana than by the secretary of

trant Western Congressmen anu Senators in

A HARD-LUCK STORY.

William Harrison Breaks His Leg When
About to Realize His Ambition.
William Harrison. of the Twenty-fourth
ward. thinks be has hard-lucl story that beats
them all. His little home in Yorkshire, Eng
land. became mortgaged, and he conceived the
;dea of coming to America, where he thought
he could better save the necessary money to
redeem his property. He has worked hard in
the Republic Iron Works, Southside, and at
last, by most rigid economy, has gathered
together the sum necessary to save his home
and have bonus left TO give him a new start
IN life.
Yesterday he bought tickets for himself wife
and daughter home and started on his journey
but on the way tn the depot he broke his leg.
The extension of the time on the mortgage will
soon expire. and he will now be laid UP for
srme time, and have to use his money to pay the
expenses of living.
