BUNCHING THEIR OFFICES.
Tho Standard Oil Company to Concentrate
Their Interests in the New vanderErift
Building-How the Rooms Will BE


Tho Standard Oil Company to Concentrate
Their Interests in the New vandergrift
BuiIding-How the Rooms Will BE
Occupied.
The Standard Oil Company expects to cor
centrate all its Pittsburg offices and several
which are now out of the city in the new
Vandergrift building on Fourth avenue.
The Southwest pipe line headquarters,
which are now at Washington, Pa, will
probably soon be moved The Vandergrift
building contains some of the finest offices in
the city. Among the firms that will have
headquarters In it are the Apollo iron
works, the South Penn Oil Company, the
Forest Oil Company, the Washington Oil
Company, the Taylorstown Natural Gas
Company, the Natural Gas Company of
West Virginia, the Fort Pitt Natural Gas
Company, the Western Atlantic Pipe Lines,
and all the Pittsburg Standard Oil Com
pany offices, with the exception of the refin-
ing interests which now have headquarters
at Duquesne way and Eighth street.
In speaking of the concentration of
Standard offices, Mr.. j. /. Bnchanon said
that there is great deal of Inconvenience
now on account of the interests being so
widely scattered. He thinks that all the
nine floors of the building will soon be oc-
cupied by the company offices. He denied
a statement that the New York offices
would be moved to Pittsburg, and said it
was folly to talk of such thing, because
the New York headquarters occupy four
acres of floor room in History building on
Broadway.
The Vandergrift building, it is claimed,
is the finest wired building in the United
States NJ A. Moss, chief operator of the
National Transit Company, had charge of
the work, and has it so arranged that when
they are ready to move, a set of operators
will be in the new building, and when
switch is turned the messages will continue
without a break, and without the sender
knowing that the receiving instruments
have been changed. Wires have been run
to every office, so that if the occupant
wishes he can put up an instrument with
little cost

Hungarians Leaving the Country.

For the last week there has been an
exodus of Hungarians to the old country.
Last evening about 20 passed through the
Union station gates. and the night before
as many more started for their native land.
In talking with some of them who could
understand English, it was learned that the
majority don't intend to come back; first,
because they have saved wad and have no
further use for the States, and second be-
cause they think they are not wanted. The
first is probably the principal reason, and
the last is only bluff to let themselves
down easy. 1t must be said that the Hun
garians have been improved by their stay in
America, and they are going home a brighter
set of men.

THE FUNERAL POSTPONED.
Mrs. George Dark Dies Under Suspicious
Circumstances


Mrs. George Dark, of Clinton Row,
Thirty-third ward, died under suspicious
circumstances yesterday morning. As re-
suit George Dark, her husband, was arrested
under charge of having caused her death.
The matter was first reported to Police
Captain William Stewart. He and Officer
Schuck investigated the rumor at once.
Some of Dark's neighbors told the Off
GERS that when the woman died her hair was
clotted with blood. and there were other in
dications that she met with foul play. The
body was under the care of Undertaken
Samuel Ward and from him it was learned
that DR. J. p. McCord had been attending
the deceased. Captain Stewart then called
on DR. McCord, and learned that the woman
had been sick since last Sunday. On
Monday he was first called in.
Mrs Dark complained of pains about
her body and head, but said moth
ing that would lead one to believe
that she was suffering from anything un-
natural. The doctor prescribed for her and
was not called OH again until Thursday
evening, when he visited the woman and
found her diving from what he supposed
was peritonitis She died sometime during
the latter part of the night and Yesterday
DIR. McCord made out his certificate that
death was caused by perltOnltlS
When informed of the rumor accusing her
husband of causing her death he said it
should be investigated, as peritonitis could
be caused by abuse, and another
thing, the last time he visited
the woman he noticed her attendants
trying to keep some information from him.
After hearing DIR. McCord's statement Cap
tain Stewart and Officer Schuck placed
Dark under arrest and lodged him in the
Twenty-eighth ward police station, where
he will await Coroner's investigation.
The friends of the woman had arranged
for funeral this morning, but this has been
postponed by orders of Deputy Coroner
Mark Donley.
The woman is about 25 years old and was
married to Dark four years ago.

NO DROP IN sEALsKIN.

Instead They viii Be Increased About
Seven Per Cent.
A short time ago report was generally
circulated and believed to the effect that the
price of sealskins in this country would
soon take drop, but late developments
show quite the contrary. F. G. Paulson,
the Wood street furrier, said yesterday:
INSTEAD of getting lower in price, seal
skin garments will advance fully per cent
above present prices when the dealers dis
pose of their present stock. The price ad-
vanced SS per cent last wear, and the asser-
tion that there will not be further reduction
is proven by the new Government contract
limiting the catch of seals. Buyers who
hold off for reduction in price will find
out their mistake"

southside Chicken Thieves at Work.

Chicken thieves have commenced opera
tions on the Southside. Early yesterday
morning some unknown person entered Mrs
Mary Diebold's poultry coop, on Picnic
street, Twenty-seventh ward, and stole all
her chickens but one. This is the third
time during tine past II months that Mrs
Diabold has been the victim of poultry
thieves and altogether she has lost over 100
chickens. Each time the thieves visited
her coop they left the heads of every
chicken and one whole bird. The reason
for doing this is mystery. There is a
slight clew to the thieves and Constable
William Butler is looking for two men to
answer descriptions of supposed chicken
thieves

MOVED THE LIGHT PLANT.
Williamsburg and Brushton to Be Supplied
With Light From Edgewood.

WllkinSburg and Brushto on to BE Supplied
With Light From Edgewood.
The electric light plant of Williamsburg is
being moved from its old quarters in Brush
ton to the large new building in Edgewood.
The new works are adjoining the grounds of
the Deaf and Dumb Institute, on Swissvale
avenue, and consists of large brick edifice
with an immense smokestack This smoke
st ack was the subject of much complaint
from the residents of the neighborhood, but
on the promise of the electric company to
use smoke consumers the objections were
withdrawn, and the work of moving the
plant into the new building was carried on
without delay.
Hitherto the works at Brushton have
been insufficient to supply even Wilkins
burg, without counting Edgewood, Swiss
vale and the other places in the, neighbor-
hood. Now very much larger dynamo has
been brou ght into use, and there will be no
lack of power for the electric lights both
for public street lighting and private use.
Williamsburg has grown so much within the
past few months, and is likely to go on get
ting larger so fast, now that the Duquesne
Traction Company has made connection
with the borough, that a removal to more
commodious quarters was absolutely neces-
sary. Williamsburg is one of the best lighted
suburbs Pittsburg has now.

THE OHIO ON FIRE
OIL Makes q Blaze at Glenfield, and Much
Smoke and Alarm Result.

-@~e~~-A
Smoke and Alarm Result.
A big pillar of smoke rising from the
Ohio river bank near Glenfeld yesterday
afternoon made everyone within ten miles
believe that disastrous fire had broken out
Happily this fear was unfounded, and prac-
tlcally no damage was done by the burning
of lot of crude petroleum which had
floated down the river and lodged on the
beach near the mouth of Killbuck creek.
The oil probably came from the
wells in the neighborhood of Jack
Run, with which the pool above the
dam at Bellevue has been coated for
some time past. The slight rise in the
rlver carried the oil over the dam, and
with other oily refuse from Ellsworth
lodged on the beach at Glenfeld. A
chance spark set the beach in blaze yes
terday afternoon, and the smoke was dense
and black, enough to form the foundation
for alarming rumors of big conhagration
that reached Pittsburg late in the afternoon.
Among these stories was a circumstantial
one. of whole coal fleet consumed at
Shousetown, and another that Glenfeld
had gone up in smoke. After producing
all this alarm, and clouding the sky for an
hour or two, the fire burned itself out and
by five O'Clock not sign of it remained.

Father slattery VIII Not Get License.

For the past few days bills have been
scattered about advertising that Father
Slattery, a former Roman Catholic priest
aud now connected with the Baptist Church,
would lecture Saturday, Sunday and Mon
dav evenings at Lafayette Hall. His sub
iects will be sSecrets of the Confessional
Revealed, " "The Story Of an Escaped Nun, /"
etc Twenty-Five cents admission will be
charged. Police Superindent Weir stated
that no application has yet been made for a
license, and one would not be granted for
Sunday evening. Lectures of any kind
would not be permitted on Sunday where an
admission fee is charged. 1t is question if
license will be granted at all.

An Example Of Quick Police Work.

-'Pittsburg certainly has great police
force" said NJ. f. Valiant, agent for the
American Express Company yesterday.
Last Tuesday afternoon package con-
tanning four valuable cloakS was stolen
from one Of our wagons. Late in the even-
ing I informed Superintendent Gamble
Weir of what had happened, and the next
day the cloaks were returned and the thief
locked up. This Is quick work, and
would like to see it duplicated anywhere
else. A man hasn't any business stealing
in this city, for he is sure to be caught -
