Sent Up a Shining Son.

Among the prisoners before Magistrate
Succop at the Twenty-eighth ward station
was James Finn, % years old. His
mother, respectable hard-wroking woman,
with tears streaming down her cheeks told
her story. Mrs. Finn said she was widow
with six children. The prisoner never
worked day for six years. He never con-
tributes a cent towards the family support
and often goes home drunk and turns
her and the children out of
the house. She tried in every
way to reform her erring boy, but
failed. AS last resort she had him az
rested. Magistrate Succop, after reading
him lecture, sentenced him to the work
house for six months. John Voskie was
arrested for assaulting his wife. Mrs. Voskie
testified that her husband came home drunk
Saturday night and struck her on the head
wish poker or some other instrument.
Officer Coen, who made the arrest, said he
found the woman covered with blood. Vos-
kie was sent 80 days to the workhouse. John
Miller, John Heller and seven others had
keg of beer, a concertina and a dance in
Mary street house at 2 o'clock yesterday
morning. Officer Rich sent the entire party
to the lookup. They were fined $40 and
costs eacn.

born in 1885 at Chambersburg, Franklin
county, and came to Pittsburg in 1857 He
went to work at once at Lippincott's Ak
Factory, and was there employed until
1868, when he enlisted in the navy. He
went to Cincinnati and was there assigned
to gunboat. He saw active service dur
ing the blockade and took part in numerous
lively experiences in that campaign. He
was mustered out at the close of the War at
Cairo. Returning to Pittsburg he resumed
work in the AK factory, where he remained
until, in Mayor McCarthy's first term, he
was appointed on the police force. Subse-
quently he was made cornerman in front of
the postotfice, and there, for nearly 16
years, through summer or winter, rain or
shine, he was to be found.
When Chief Brown assumed Office Sill
Wis was given his first promotion, much to
the regret of the newsboys and bootblacks
of the city, who, while he was cornerman,
had in him a friend and adviser at ali
times. Since he became Captain Silvis has
distinguished himself by his devotion to
duty and integrity to his superior officers.
His appointment will please thousands of
friends, who have learned to respect the
gallant officer in his long term of service.

EIGHT SPEAK-EASiES
Raided by the Police Yesterday-Warm
Weather Causes Considerable Increase
in the Crop-Lawrenceville and the Hill
District Furnish Most of Them

Raided by the Police Yesterdsy-Warm
Weather Causes Considerable Increase
in the Crop-Lawrenceville and the Hill
District Furnish Most of Them.
More than the usual Sunday crop OF
speak-easies was harvested yesterday in the
two cities. The return of warm weather
and the consequent thirst is chiefly credited
with the increase.
Shortly after . o'clock in the afternoon
there was lively row in Mrs. Bridget
Reagan's speak-easy on Bluff street, just
above the Yellow Row. AT the time, James
Reagan, Oliver Jacobs, Bridget Reagan,
John Parker and Edward Savage
were in the place drinking beer.
Parker and Savage had a dispute
and a row resulted. Parker challenged
Savage to go out on the street and have the
fight out, but this invitation was declined.
The whole crowd then pitched into Savage
and was using i'm roughly when he drew a
revolver and ed two shots. They fortu-
natelv went wade of their mark, but they
had the effect of scattering the crowd. Off
Ger Devlin heard of the row and succeeded
in arresting the entire party with the excep-
tion of Savage, who is still being looked
for.
Lieutenant Lewis. with several officers,
raided the disorderly house kept by Zerk
Holiday, in an alley off Arthur street, last
nigh: The proprietor, with George Jones.
Edward Eincins. George Samuels, Duncan
Sorrells and w. Z. Henry, were arrested
and locked up in the Eleventh ward station.
In Lawrenceville Captain Brophy started
out in the morning and, assisted by several
officers, raided three speak-easies The
place of Mrs. Josie Bryce. Thirty
ninth street, near the Allegheny
Valley Railroad. was visited and
she was arrested. There were nc other per-
sons in the house. A call was then made
on John Kleist, Penn avenue and Main
street. He and Dick Baker and Antoni
Buhely were caught. AT Liberty and
Pearl streets the place of Daniel Manion
was pulled. Besides the proprietor John
Hedeson, John W. Stitzman, John Nc
Bride and Frank Carlin were arrested.
They were all sent to the Seventeenth ward
station.
In the Twelfth ward Lieutenant Lewis
raided the houses of Mrs. Mary Corbett,
Jones avenue and Twenty-sixth street, and
Mrs. Welsh, SO Nineteenth street. In the
former house seven visitors were caught
Five kegs of beer and plenty of whisky were
found. In the latter house five visitors
were arrested

A ROAD TO WEALTH.

The Same Old Green Goods Scheme at
Work Once More-Money Said to Have
Been Made Directly From Government
Plates.
A letter was received in Pittsburg yester-
day from ''green goods" man at Blooms
burg, n. J., offering wonderful inducements
to those anxious TO be rich. He claims to
have goods" made directly from Govern
ment plates, which he disposes of at the
following low rates: $3.50 purchased 81, 600,
$500 buy $500, $3.50 buys S13.5OO, and
81, 900 buy S26,O AportiOE of he'letter
reads:
If you have been unsuccessful in your
business l can supply you with goods
with which you can pay off all your
debts and start free and clear again. You
can purchase mortgages, ETC. An oppor-
tunity like this to make an independent
fortune has never crossed your path before,
and in all probability never will again as
long as you live 1t was never intended
that one man should have millions of dol
lars and another nothing, so don't throw
away this chance to get riches Others have
grown rich around you no one knows how.
Why not help yourself?"
The prospective millionaire is warned
against sending letters to the address given.
All that is necessary is telegram stating
"ship beef" The man of money will un-
derstand and will send complete instruc-
tions as to where to find him The customer
must go to him, as he does not deal by mail.
The letter is full of glowing sentences tell
ing of the easy road to wealth open to those
who take advantage of the opportunity
offered. As far as can be learned nobody
in Pittsburg has been duped by the scheme

horses for possession of the roadway, or, II
he turns onto the grass, he will have walked
himself into a tolerable heat before he
reaches seat and shelter at the old Arm
strong house.
ONE PLACE WHERE IT WAS COOL.
The one place in the entire park which
commends itself to the person seeking some
aspect OF country encourage is Panther
Hollow. When the gully to which TINS
name is given is reached it is only after
carefully feeling ones way down the pre-
cipitous path leading from the main road
way at some distance from the entrance. A
small shingle, with the name painted there
on, indicates where the hollow may be
found, but the pathway provided whereby
to get there offers so little inducement to
tread it that many people prefer to keep
along the roadway to venturing into the
defle.
Panther Hollow yesterday furnished
about the only cool spot in the city. 1t is
we'll shaded, and the breeze which blew
along the gully, cooled by contact with the
rising walls of verdure on each side, was re-
freshing to the half hundred or SO people
who strolled through it. This walk fur
nishcs the shortest way to the menagerie,
but of the visitors who walked out to laugh
at the monkeys and improve their knowl-
edge of natural history generally, not one
fifth pass through the hollow.
Rigs of all kinds might have been seen at
the menagerie yesterday. 1t is the object
i've point for riders. and the watering place
for man and beast. The pump, with its tin
cups, is likely the most democratic institu-
tion in the county.

NOT ONE CONCESSION.
Neither Miners Nor Operators Show
Signs of Giving in Very Soon.
PLENTY OF CARS TO BE HAD NOW.
Both Sides So Confident That There Is as
Yet No Violence.
THE CARNEGIES STILL PILE UP COKE

Neither operators nor miners in the Mo-
nongahela and Youghiogheny Valleys have
yet given any intimation of conceding a
single point in the strike. From Elizabeth
all the way down to Brownsville, there is
not ton of coal being mined for shipment
over the railroad, while those mines having
no river connections are closed down en-
tirely.
AT the Catsburg mine, General Manager
John II. Jones has notified the men that
this morning he will load three cars with
the coal now on the tipple, and that he will
not pay over 3 cents, the price agreed upon
by the association. The men say they will
not allow the cars to be loaded under 81
cents, and they will likely leave the pit to-
day.
The Ivil mine has announced that it will
run coal South by the river at 81 cents a
busheL This mine is owned by the Messrs.
Jones, and will continue work
The idle miners along the valley were
surprised yesterday to see number Of
loaded coal trains pass down toward this
city, and considerable excitement was
caused by the report that all the mines in
the Fourth pool had resumed operations ex-
cept the Acme. This story was told by a
brakeman, who said they had resumed at
the old rate. An investigation was made at
once, and the story proved to be canard.
The coal came from the Leonard and Han
mis- mines, on the Redstone branch, and as
these mines are closed, it is thought the
coal had been lying on the triple.
Since the strike began the operators are
troubled with a superabundance of cars,
while for weeks preceding they were un-
able to secure more than ten cars per day.
The miners at Monongahela City state
that the Germania and Nottingham mines
at Finleyville will resume work to-day at
the new scale. Proprietor Floresheim has
signed an agreement not to pay the new
scale, but it is said he will be obliged to on
account of the demand there is for his coal
for Baltimore and Ohio engines and works.
Thus far the strike has been carried on
without the slightest signs OF violence,
owing, probably, to the confidence felt on
both sides. The men say if their demands
stoppage of all shipments by r yer, which
would greatly complicate the situation.
The strike will have the effect of COM
pletely changing the conditions which have
existed for a year or more between the
operators and the men. The former cannot
see anything else in the action
of their workers than deliber-
ate breach of faith in going behind
agreements that were we'll understood.
The feeling among the most conservative
operators is that no further dependence can
be placed on pledges given by miners, and
the outcome of the present difficulty will
be, it is held, that operators will run their
works on the best terms that each may make
with the labor that is found to be most
available and most economical.

MUSICIANS AT WAR.
Members of Cappa's Band Have n Quarrel
Ending in a Shooting.

I1HuIHS III ShOOClnG.
Andrew and Oscar Joericke, members of
Cappa's Band, now playing at the Exposi-
tion, got into a quarrel last night, during
which Oscar was shot. Though BEARING
the same name, the men claim they are in
no way related to each other Since their
arrival in Pittsburg, at the opening of the
Exposition, they have been boarding at
Mrs Bierman's house, No 322 Penn ave
nue..
They have had frequent quarrels and An
drew, who did the shooting. claims that
Oscar has been threatening him with vio.
lence for some time past. According to his
story the two came together in a room last
night about II o'clock Andrew had n
small Flobert rife in his hand loaded with
a 22-caliber cartridge. Oscar ordered him
out of the room. On reaching the door
Oscar caught him by the arms. The two
tusseled about for time and finally fell to
the floor. As they did so the gun went off
The police were called and both men were
put in the patrol wagon. Andrew was
locked up in Central station and the injured
man was taken to the Homeopathic Hos
pital. The ball entered his left side inst
above the hip. The wound is not consid.
cred dangerous The police have their
doubts about Andrews story, but thew
could learn nothing from Oscar to the con.
trary. The latter was considerably intoxi-
Gated and all questions put to him about
his side of the story were answered only by
a grunt.

THE MYSTERY OF AN HOUR.
Evidence OF Murder That Is Not Be
1ieved Ever Occurred.

EplUeDce OF MURDER nat is NOT BE-
lieved Ever Occurred.
A great deal of excitement was caused
among those living in the neighborhood of
Painters mill, West End, yesterday after
noon, by the finding Of some female ap-
parel. 1t was supposed that murder had
been committed. The watchman on duty
at the mill was making round
shortly after ) o'clock, and in the
yard back of the mill found
calico dress and gingham apron The
dress was ripped and torn in different
places, and a close inspection of il showed
that it contained some blood stains. There
was also some hair found near where the
clothing was lying. The watchman at once
turned the articles over to the police, and
told how and where they were found The
matter was reported to Inspector AIcKelvey,
who, with Special Officer Carrigan, visited
the place and made thorough examina-
tiOn.
The investigation showed that there was
no one missing in the neighborhood, nor
anywhere in the West End, so far as could
be learned. The watchman at the mill and
the officer on the beat were certain that
they had heard no outcrys or sounds of
any kind that would indicate that anything
wrong had occurred. The police are Of
the opinion that the clothing was thrown
away, and that there is no mystery be-
hind it.

SECURED BY S[LVIS.
The Well-Known Police Captain Given
the lnspectorship.
WILL BE BOSS OF THE OTHER TWO.
Important Changes Are to Be Made in the
Bureau Of Police.
CITY PROTECTORS SUNDAY DOING

Captain Daniel Silvis will succeed In
spector McAleese. When the latter as
sumes the duties OF Warden of the county
Jail, this morning, one of the ablest men IN
the Bureau of Police will step into his
shoes. Under new arrangement for the
government of the bureau, Silvis will be
known as Chief Inspector, with the other
two, ,Whitehouse and McKelyey, under
him.
The appointment of Daniel Silvis was not
definitely settled until yesterday, when
Chief Brown, who is in the East, telegraphed
his final decision to Superintendent Weir.
Detectives Robinson, Shore and Coulson
and Captain Mercer had been talked of for
the place, with the chances apparently in
favor of Robinson. 1t was finally
decided that these men were
too valuable in their present
positions to change them. On the other
hand Captain Silvis' long experience in the
handling of the uniformed officers made

Matthew MulIett Cut BY a Rival.

AT o'clock last night David Thomas cut
Matthew Mullett on the head with knife.
The wound was not serious. It was the re-
suit of an old grudge, and was precipitated
by an attempt of Mullett to call on a
woman in Knowlson's court, on Forbes
street, off Gist. The men are glassworkers
Thomas lives in the court mentioned, and
while sitting in front of his house previous
to 8 o'clock saw Mullett coming toward
him. 1t was the latter's intention to call on
woman, but he was intercepted by
Thomas, who picked a quarrel with him,
and in little while drew knife, striking
on the head, inflicting scalp wound. Null
let ran away and has not yet been seen.
Officer Sullivan arrested Thomas and sent
him to the Eleventh ward police station.

TAKES CHARGE TODAY.
Warden McAleese Prepared TO Enter the
Place of John Berlin.

Warden McAleese steps into his new
place this morning. 1t being but two days
since he was elected, he has had little time
to make any preparation for the change.
Last evening he visited the Jail and had a
pleasant talk with the retiring warden,
John Berlin, and Assistant Warden Soffel,
concerning the system of handling the
books and records of the place, as well as
some of the arrangements about inside man
agement.
The advent of the new Warden will not
have any immediate effect on the remainder
of the Jail management. The Prison Board
will meet this afternoon to decide what
shall be done with Keepers Price and Lar
inner. AS far as can be learned no immedi-
ate removals will be made in the cases of
any of the other Jail officials. Warden Nc
Aleese is not favorable to the removal of
anybody who performs his duties faith
fully. 1t will take week or more for him
to get thoroughly acquainted with all the
details of jail management. The Prison
Board will probably compile new set of
rules for the institution.
