Little Claude Libby Run Over by
Street Car.

Little Claude Libby Run Over by
a Street Car.
Claude Libby, the twelve-year-old son
of Thomas Libby, was killed yesterday
afternoon at Central avenue and Main
street by street car.
The little fellow was riding on heavy
wagon and dragging a sled, and at the
corner of Central and Main he jumped
off the wagon. The sled tripped him
aud he fell directly in front of Car No.
133 on the University line. The wheels
passed over his back and right arm. He
was carried into the police station and
died in few minutes. The life had
literally been crushed out of him. The
body lay in the police station for nearly
two hours before it was identified. The
boys name was learned through an
''eXcuse" written by his mother to his
teacher. His father, Thomas Libby, of
Libby u Libby, contractors. lives at tbs
Eighth street southeast. An inquest
will probably be held.

It's a "Go" This Time.u

Rev. ID. j. Burrell, of Westminster
church, has received another call to the
CollegiateReformed church, of NewYork
city, of so liberal nature that even his
warmest admirers think it would be
selfshness on their part to urge him to
remain longer in Minneapolis. The
offer is $4,000 year-twice what he is
receiving at Westminster. Not only
that, but he is to receive 5000 year, in
case of disability, and if he dies his
wife is to receive an annuity of $1,000
while she survives him. His work will
also be far less eXaGting. 1t Is under
stood that he has already practically ac-
cepted the offer.

Dr. L. Nardyz, the well-known Italian ply

Lippman for several months. The latter is

ago and said he was an Austrian count. He
left some time ago for Cleveland and, ac-
cording to the doctors statement, took with
him the only picture of his dead daughter
Later de Lippman sent challenge to DR..
NardyZ.
Yesterday morning the latter stepped into
the Cafe ROYAL and the first man he laid eyes
on was de Lippman. The doctor, flushed
with rage and stepping up in front of de Lipp-
man, holding rattan cane in O threatening
attitude, declared:
you cowardly liar, why did you come
back to Pittsburg? l have found out all
about you. You are not Count de Lippman,
but the ex-convict, Max Jacobsen. You
have lied about your title, you have bor-
rowed money which you never paid back
and you have stolen my dead girls picture
l propose to thrash you for this
With that the big physician reached for
de Lippman, but the latter slipped his grasp
and dashed into the Press office. Dr. Nardyz
paced up and down the pavement from 10 A.
N. till P. NJ. waiting for him to come out,
but de Lippman finally got out through a
rear door and escaped.

SIGNS OF A SHORTAGE.
Experts Turning Over the Books in the
Allegheny Mayors Ofice-very Loose
System of bookkeeping to Say the
Least-A Partial Report


Allegheny Mayors Ofice-very Loose
System of Bookkeeping to Say the
Least-A Partial Report.
The committee appointed to look over the
accounts of the Allegheny Mayors office
met last evening to hear partial report of
the experts. The report was brief and
pointed.
In regular form it stated that on June l,
1885, there were S22 vehicle license plates
supposed to have been delivered to
Chief Murphy. On July 2, 1891, he had
JOB on'land, leaving balance of 719 supposed
to have been sold. OF these it is esti1na ted
IA were for two horses at $40 each, making
81, 40, and 575 were for one horse at S6 each,
making So, ,450, a total of s. $50. The actual
return of the sales to the Mayors office. how
ever, shows but s. .464 81 turned in, leaving a
shortage of 81, ,425 6s for the two years. These
estimates of issue are based on the average
audit of the accounts of the Mayors
office shortage of $20sO in wit
ness fees is reported from April, 1887,
to April, 1890, during the administration
of Mayor Pearson, and from April, 1890,
to May, 1891, shortage of 81, ,460 45 in witness
fees is alleged to have been disclosed. The
latter time is the first year OF Mayor
Wyman's term.
That was about all contained in the ex-
perts' report, but in answer to questions of
the committeeman, MI. 7. c. Bigger, one of
the experts and the spokesman. said they
had only just begun their work, and from
what they had discovered they were of tho
belief that many more shortages would be
found and a detailed report would be sub
mitted as soon as possible. Chief Murphy
told them that many license plates had been
left over unsold from year to year. During
the years 1856, 'S7, SO, 's9, 80 and 81 many
plates could not be accounted for. They
were known to have been bought and were
possibly sold, but no record whatever
could be found of them. On inquiry by the
experts for license books, or stubs to show
the sales, they were reported lost and no
trace of them could be found, at least the
proper officers did not turn them over to the
experts. The same was true as to the books
of the Mayors office; balances in many cases
could not be made on account of inability of
proper officers to show their books
or stubs. The loosest kind of
bookkeeping WAS evidently practiced,
and the experts recommended that a better
one be employed in the future.
After the meeting closed Mayor Wyman
was asked for an explanation. He said if he
had known what the experts intended to re-
port he would have been at the meeting and
explained everything. He said he could
show there was no shortage, and every cent
could be accounted for and that no request
was ever made to him for his books or STUBS
Further than that he would not say. City
Treasurer MacFerron said the Mayor handed
into his office check for his gross receipts
monthly, and submitted no detailed state
ment

MEN FROM OTHER POINTS.

Hundreds Said to Be on the Way to the
Duquesne Steel Works.
II. c. Frick stated yesterday that the
works at Duquesne will not resume opera
tions except under the former arrangement
and that the firm will not recognize the
Amalgamated Association.
1t was reported yesterday that several
hundred men will be brought from other
points to take the place of the strikers and
that some of them are expected to-day.
The men still remain firm, and say that they
are right in this case, and that they will be
supported by all the Amalgamated men in
this district. They intimate, also, that it
will be a matter of but short time until
certain mills will be idle if the scale is not
accepted at Duquesne, as the men of the
other Carnegie plants will support them in
their battle. The plant is still in charge of
the y deputies, but there is no need of their
services as the men are quiet and are stay
ing away from the mills.
