STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST.

Before the war of 1912, says the Lincoln
County News, two of the citizens of Wiscas-
set owned thirteen square-rigged vessels en-
gagged in the West India trade. One of the
citizens lived in large house which it is
said was paid for with one hundred pun
cheons of rum on the wharf, and his chill
dren played with silver dollars. When the
embargo was raised one of the parties sold
out and the other bought large house on
the hill. Each one thought he did the best
thing. War was soon declared and the YES
sells OF one began to rot at the docks. The
other had all his wealth in the bank and
saved 1t. Prior to the war of 1872 Wiscas-
set was q. place of great commercial thrift
and wealth.

COVERING A CITY's DEBT.
A1legheny's Finance Committee Approves
of the 100000 Bond Issue.

Anegheny's Finance Committee Approves
of the $500, 700 Bond Issue.
The Allegheny Finance Committee met
last night and approved the ordinance au-
thorizing the issue of 100000 worth of
bonds at per cent to run 20 years, which
are to liquidate the deficiency now existing.
A resolution was offered which authorizes
the Mayor to file bond to cover the dam
ages made by the contemplated improve
ment of Fleming street in the Third ward.
1t was referred to subcommittee and the
city solicitor. A subcommittee reported
adversely on the application of William
Gender, of Herr's Island, who asked for the
exoneration of taxes to his property on ac-
count OF the damages done to it by the re-
cent floods. 1t was maintained that other
property had also been damaged and to re-
munerate the applicant would establish a
bad precedent.
Delinquent Tax Collector Grier submit
ted report showing his collections for the
year 1887, the first year he was in office.
The total OF the duplicates was S132. 1862 VI
and the collections amounted to S94, 157 %,
the personal tax which could not be col
Iected and the generations making the diff
ference. Both branches Of Councils will
meet tomorrow night TO pass the appropria.
tion ordinance.

WANDERINGS OF A WOMAN.

She Comes From Boston With Her Child
in Search of Relatives Here-They Have
Moved and She Can't Find Them-Police
Helping Her.
Mrs. Mary Ann Smith was a lodger last
night at the Twenty-eighth ward police
station. She has with her 3-months-old
babe, and claims to hail from Boston,
where she has lived during the past two
years. She says she is searching for her
sister, Mrs. John jackson, who sent her
money to come to Pittsburg. saying that she
lived at No. SO Davis street. Her husband,
John Smith, died in New York.
Shortly after she went to Westfeld,
Mass, suburb of Boston, to keep house
for a man whose name was also John Smith
She had not been living with him very
long when he died. About three months
ago she gave birth to child of whom John
Smith No. is the father. Being unable to
support herself she wrote to her sister, who
sent her SIS to bring her to this city. She
spent the money, but obtained railroad
tickets to Pittsburg from the Department OF
Charities of Boston. She arrived in Pitts
burg last Saturday week ago, with few
cents left. She went to No. SO Davis street,
UuI SlSle uau ulONtu away
telling her neighbors, and she was forced to
wander the streets with her child.
She was directed to apply for assistance
at st. Paul's Cathedral on Fifth avenue.
Father Ward sent her to the Sisters who
kept her at the Cathedral until last Saturday
morning when she was turned away.
She then went to the Women's
Christian Association rooms on Penn
avenue. She was kept there until
yesterday morning, when she was turned
out on the streets with her child once more.
She wandered up to Beck's run, where she
found a woman who gave her something to
cal and would have kept her for few days,
but the woman's husband objected. .:ssAz
Inspector McAleese is making special
efforts to find the woman's relatives, and
had two men working OF the case. The
woman is very proud of her child, and says
it looks much like its father. John Jack
son, for whom she is looking, is an iron
worker, and until recently worked in
Soho mill.

FRANSKi IN TROUBLE.

Charged With Collecting Subscriptions on
False Pretense for the Clearing Up of
the Eva Bloch Mystery-Got a Letter
From the Coroner and Worked 1t Well.
Arnold Franski, of Braddock, who was
arrested on suspicion by Detective Korn-
man, of Allegheny, Saturday night for
telling conflicting stories about the death of
the Polish girl, Eva Bloch, is getting into
more serious difficulty. The man had
manifested such an interest in the case
of the deserted girl that Coroner Mcdowell
gave him letter of recommendation. Sat-
| urday afternoon he called on John JAS
cienecki, the young tailor who took charge
of the burial of the girl, and on the strength
Of the letter secured Mr.. Jascienecki's as
sistance in raising over $50 to detray the
expenses of tracing the man VINO brought
the girl over here.
After securing the money Franski went to
Allegheny and was soon in the lookup. Yes
| terday afternoon the charge of false pre-
tense was made against him by josef Rosen-
ski, of Penn avenue The latter is
the publisher of Polish paper and alleges
that Franski secured 50 from him to defray
the expense of sending cablegram to Eva
Bloch's parents, as we'll as to hunt out evil
| denee leading TO the apprehension Of the
| girls supposed husband. When the arrest
Of Franzki was published in the newspapers
yesterday it had the effect of bringing half
dozen people to light, all OF whom had sub
scribed 10 the same fund. In pocket of the
prisoners clothing was found the names of
the subscribers who mad given him sums
ranging from 81 to S.. The prosecutor
asked that the prisoner be held until to-
morrow before being given-s bearing so that
he would be able to secure these people and
have them make iuformations against him.
The man is also supposed to have stolen
three horses from Albert Bouggeman, a
liveryman cf Braddock. He either brought
them or had them brought to Allegheny last
week, where he attempted to sell them to
Major Max Klein. Failing to meet that
gentleman he placed the horses in Arm
helms stable, where they were recovered by
the owner. By papers found on him it
seems be left Rusland, Poland. in June
last, as a passport is dated there. Other
papers indicate his residence in Guatemala,

CAUGHT WHILE AT WORK.
An Innocent Looking Colored Woman
Charged With Being Pickpocket.

An Innocent Looking Colored Woman
Charged With Being a Pickpocket.
Annie Jones, colored, was lodged in Gen.
tral station yesterday afternoon on charge
of attempting to pick pockets. About 4:30
yesterday afternoon Mrs. Mary Malady, of
Twenty-ninth and Mary streets, was in a
Wood street shoe store. A crowd was about
her when she felt hand in her pocket.
Grasping the hand she called for help, and
in an instant the would-be pickpocket was
in the hands OF Officer Conwell. She was 9
colored woman. about 80 years of age, and
said she lived at No. 6 Clark street. She
gave her name as ANNE Jones. When
searched at the station house a pocketbook
containing Sc was found on her.
AS another case of 4 woman having had
her pocketbook taken had been reported, it
was thought she might have taken it. In
spector McAleese stated recently several
cases of pocket picking had been reported.
In nearly every case the victims stated that
when they discovered their loss the only
person they saw about was an innocent
looking colored woman. Asno professional
pickpockets are known to be in town, the
officials are inclined to believe that they
have secured the thief who has caused so
much trouble.

The Lawyer for the Appellees Talks on the
Decision - What Other Authorities
Think of the AIatter-The Way for the
City to Get Out.
NJ. a. Woodward, counsel for the ap-
pellees, declined 10 talk explicitly until he
had read the opinion. He seemed to place
particular value on that part relating 10 the
part the Court of Quarter Sessions formerly
PLAYED He referred to the intertwisted
legislation on the subject of street-making,
and though not expressing himself except
in the most general way, ne left it to be In
ferred that he had expected this action OF
lie Supreme Court, and expressed also an
opinion that the matter was not hard to cure
by legislation.
As 10 the attack on the charter, Mr.. Wood
ward stated that while he and the rest of the
counsel felt it incumbent on them to attack
H. and felt that their position was !enable,
yet they did not expect the Supreme tri-
buual to set it aside. as the consequence
would be very far reaching, and, though he
did not say it. be meant that the interests
involved are too momentous TO stand so great
an upheaval.
c. 4. O'Brien. one of the original counsel
in the Mt. Washington street cases, which
were the foundation of the whole con-
troversy, also refused to make deliverance,
stafng that he could rot give an opinion
until he had read the deliverance of the
court
The Benefit to the City.
J.. NcT. Carpenter had not read the opin-
ION. but be said that the Supreme Court had
lotten where it should have stood when first
called on 10 settle cases arising out oi legiS-
latlon under the Constitution OF 1874 He
was pleased with the result, and thought the
city would be benefited by it.
Ex-Couucilmau w. H. Denniston was
glad to hear o. the result, though he said it
was hard on those who had paid for street
improvements in times past. He said it
would prevent jobbers from running people
who were unable to pay for improvements,
which in some instances were OF no benefit
10 them. At the same time he held that
iudicious street Improvement meant general
prosperity, ana some method should be de-
vised that would prevent unreasonable OBJ
structiouists from blocking measures needed
for the general good.
Among Those Who Are Waiting.
Colonel Stone and Isaac S. Van Voorhis
both said they hadn't read the opinion, and.
in consequence, had none of their own re-
garding it, as they would want to see the
reasons on which it was heard before coming
10 % conclusion.
W j. Rodgers, one of the citys counsel,
also refused to deliver himself as he had
not read the opinion. He said, however.
that both Justices Williams and Sterrett
told him that if the decision was against
the city and they wrote it, or either of them,
they would suggest the line OF legislation
necessary TO follow in the making OF new
street law.

A Drummer Holds an Opal Ring Response
BILE for Several Accidents.
"People laugh at me-. SAID Mr.. Hender-
son, drummer, at the Anderson yesterday,
because 1 returned an opal ring and took a
diamond instead 1 am not superstitious,
but will tell you why will never wear an
opal again.
II started on tour through the South.
Business was good and 1 put on the ring,
for it certainly was beauty. A few days
aterward lost valuable charm from MY
watch chain. Though L offered u reward
and advertised diligently I never recovered
it. About three days later 1 was robbed of
my pocketbook containing a fine diamond,
considerable money and important papers.
1 began to suspect the ring was the cause Of
nv i'll luck, but 1 couldn't make up my
mind to dispose OF it. A week alter
boarded train going to Columbus,
but changed my intentions and got
off taking another one. We were
hardly out OF town before the train rolled
over an embankment, and I was pretty
badly hurt. Then was convinced that the
opal was responsible Tor my bad streak, and
1 put it in my trunk. 1 have had no ac-
cidents since, and this is the reason why l
wont wear an opal again. Tine jeweler
who sold me the stone wouldn't put on the
ring for $500, and he now has it up for sale
in his show window"

Committee From Chicago Goes to Wash
ington for Vengeance.
A committee of II, claiming to be promI-
nent Italians from Chicago, passed through
the city yesterday, bound for Washington
10 call on President Harrison and Secretary
Blaine to take action toward Furnishing the
leaders of the New Orleans mob. If they
are real Italians they are liable to do more
harm than good by their fiery talk. Pas
quail Corite acted as spokesman, and said
his people wanted revenge. He claimed
Italy had 1S0 warshlps and could destroy
all the coast cities of the United States.
The Young man was much excited and
talked of an Italian army wiping New Or
leans from the face of the earth. He added
that they had been selected to represent the
Chicago Italians.
Felidio Canuti, editor of the Nostri
Tempi, the only Italian paper published
here, says the killing of his countrymen
was an atrocious crime. He says there was
not semblance of evidence against the
men, and there was more proof against
Cronin's murderers, but the latter escaped.
He thinks the Italians were killed because
they were poor. Numerous murderers had
escaped conviction in New Orleans and the
people were undulv excited.

of $50 goats arrived at the East Liberty

Chicago by a man named Cornwell to a
well-known Pittsburg live stock dealer. II
is said they were bought on account Of their
