FIRM FAITH IN DALZELL.
Ex-Sheriff McCandlcss Wakes Enthusiastic
Over the situation.

EX-sheriH McCandleSs WAKES Enthusiastic
Over the situation.
Ex-Sheriff McCandless is hame again
from a tour of the State in the interest of
Hon. Joha Dalzell's canvass for the Presi-
dency of the Republican State League of
clubs. He is in an excellent humor. To
quote his own language:
81 tell you Dalzell is on top. He can t
be beat ! told Robinson right after that
meeting of the Executive Committee he
couldn't have taken a step that would have
Injured better to our benefit. The constitu-
tion OF the League cannot be abrogated by
anv committee, and Mr. Robinson, to be
consistent, must stand by his resolution.
We've got them foul we have, sure. Dal-
zell is the next President Can't beat him
now"
Collector Warmcastle left for Washing
ton last evening on business connected with
the department. He takes the ground that
by deharring the mushroom clubs no harm
was done to Dalzell. His chances are as
good as they were before the Executive
Committee took its action. Mr. Warmcas-
tie does not conceal the fact that he is for
Jack Robinson against DalzelL The feel
ing is becoming strong among con-
servative Republicans that COM
promise should be made Tom Cooper
sounded the KEYNOTE when he said the posi-
tion was not worth fighting for. The red
headed ex-chairman, however, hasn't much
love for Jack Robinson, and it is not prob
able that his advice will be needed. He is
charged by Robinson's friends with trying
to injure his neighbor wherever he can.
The Quay people, it is claimed, are too
strong for Dalzell, and will defeat him.
Collector Warmcastle claims the mush-
room clubs would injure the standing of the
League in the State.

Y
A Small Crowd at Central.


At the Central police station Magistrate
Grlpp had but twenty cases to handle.
George Little had ordered boy to black his
boots at Water and Smithf1eld streets, and
when the job was completed he kicked the
lad all over the street and abused him
shamefully. A crowd collected and with it
an officer, who arrested Little. He had
nothing to say at the hearing, and as he had
been there before 90days's sentence to the
Workhouse was imposed. Salon Gambetto
had been arrested on Grant street for draw
ing knife and making other warlike pre-
parations for assault upon Robert Coleman.
Gambetto's grievance against Coleman re-
suited from the latter having the Italian ar
rested recently for disgraceful conduct. A
sentence of 80 days was Gambetto's dose.
Edward McCurdy and James Richardson
had been arrested at the notorious Basin
fight in this section and Rogers went in to
arrest the fighters. He caught McCurdy and
was taking him to the patrol box, when he
was surrounded by mob of hoodlums, one
OF whom threw brick, striking the officer
in the face and knocking him down. Nc
Curdy took advantage of the opportunity to
get away. The officer scrambled to his feet
just as the crowd was closing in on him. He
drew his revolver for personal safety and
fired two shots, which had the effect of
scattering the crowd, after which he
arrested Richardson and rearrested Nc
Curdy. McCurdy proved that he did
not throw the brick, but he was one of
the originators of the trouble and will be
sent to MorganZa where he has already
been couple of times. Richardson denied
having anything to do with the trouble and
was discharged Officer Rogan will en-
deavor to ferret out who were the parties
that assaulted him and more arrests are ex-
pected.
w. H. Bender, of the Southside, and Annie
Palmer were fighting at the corner of Sec
ond avenue and Grant street when arrested
Saturday night. Bender broke and ran
away, but was captured after hard chase.
Both parties received 3O-day sentences.
John McNulty, q newsboy, had been ar
morning. He admitted his guilt ant will be
sent to Morganza. Patrick O'Toole, drunk
and fighting on GibbDn street, got 3O-day
sentence.

Shops Quite a Whirl.

eliminating Baggage.
WORK OF POLICE ON A QUIET SUNDAY

Illegal liquor sellers played the most i'm
portant part in yesterdays police proceed
ings As result of informations made by
police officials, quite a number of speak
easies were closed and their proprietors
placed behind the bars. The greater num-
Der of places closed were in Pittsburg,
though Allegheny swung into line with
some of her own choice productions of the
speak-easy order.
Under the inspiration of Inspector Nc
Aleese's energy the first police district was
ahead of all other sections in raids. The
first one was the old brick row at the Point,
known as "Rice's Castle" which the police
swooped down upon in the afternoon. They
came away with the proprietors of two
speak-easies and one gambling place. On
the first floor of the building John
Conley has been holding forth for
some time. No liquor was found
in his rooms yesterday, but he was
arrested on information of Inspector Nc
Aleese for illegal liquor selling. On the
policeman, holding high carnival with
four kegs of beer, which three visitors were
helping him get away with. They were all
piled in the wagon. While going through
the building the officers found Anthony
Mannion and Michael Burke running a
poker game. They were taken along with
the others and locked up in Central station.
Mrs. Mary Burns was arrested at her
home, No. 1921 Liberty street last evening
charged with conducting a speak-easy by
Inspector McAleese She was locked up in
Central station for hearing.
Police Captain Dick Brophy raided the
alleged disorderly house of Maggie Hitler,
Forty-eighth and Butler streets, yesterday
morning about 10 o'clock The proprietress
and Agnes Spalding and John Jennings
were arrested and sent to the Seventeenth
ward police station.
Fifteen Bohemians were taken out of the
house 500 East Ohio street, Allegheny, yes
terday morning, all of them boarders anus
ing themselves drinking beer and playing
cards, and through it all making too much
noise for the peace and good order necessary
to the proper observance of the Sabbath day.
Lieutenant Thornton made the raid on them,
assisted by several officers, and all were
locked up in the Central police station.
They were all released some few hours later
on deposits of $50 for each to appear at the
hearing this morning.

WAR FOR A BIT OF LAND.
Brushton and Williamsburg Fall Out Over
an Alleged Contract.

an Alleged Contract.
Brushton and Williamsburg are getting
into an interesting controversy. There is q
strip of land lying between Brushton
station, on the Pennsylvania Railroad, and
Penn avenue, which Brushton says should
belong to her, but Williamsburg claims as
her own. Brushton says that when Will
kinsburg was incorporated it was agreed
this strip should belong to Brushton, per an
agreement made between the residents OF
the strip and Williamsburg, that if they
would not oppose the project for borough
the incorporators would take care the strip
was not included in the city limits, with the
natural adjuncts of city taxes and response
bilities.
Now, it is said, Williamsburg ignores this
agreement, and is determined to keep the
strip, much to the annoyance of Brushton,
which wants the piece of ground for an out
let to Penn avenue. The residents of the
strip want to be taken in by Brushton, and
the people living below the railroad track
would also like it to belong to Brushton,
because then a way would be opened to
Penn avenue. Brushton Councils have
been enjoying some redhot discussions on
the subject, but it is expected that it will
be amicably arranged between the two
boroughs.

''What do YOU think she does, nova
days?" he asked, yesterday morning.
"Why, she must have learned in some way
that they're going to catch unlicensed dogs
and put them in pound in Pittsburg, for
whenever we get to the bridge, If late, she
climbs on the platform of the car and
doesn't jump off until we reach Allegheny
again. Smartest dog in II States, that"
