THE CONTROLLERS DILEMMA.

He Doubts His Authority to Award a
Printing Contract-Chief Bigelow and
His Chief Clerk Open Number Of Bids
Awards to Be Announced o-Morrow
Controller Morrow is in quandary over
the printing of his annual report, which he
will present to Councils at the regular meet
ing tomorrow afternoon. After Councils
have approved it the question will arise,
how will he award the contracts for its print
ing? After the abolition of the Department
of Awards by the decision of the Supreme
Court it was agreed that the heads of the
various departments should award their
own contracts. But there Is some doubt
about the authority of any other city Off
cials to award contracts.
The Controller was pondering over the
question Yesterday, and arrived at no
definite conclusion, although he is rather
inclined to believe he can attend to the
matter himself. The decision on the ques-
ton will be of interest to several officials
about City Hall.
Not to be outdone by the head of the De-
partment of Public Safety in the matter of
formality, Chief Bigelow, of the Depart
ment of Public Works. yesterday decided
to grant the contracts OF his depart
ment just as nearly like the defunct
Department of Awards as possible Ac-
cordingly, he and Chief Clerk Bingaman
repaired to Common Council Chamber and
called themselves to order in true parlia-
mentary style. They were more fortunate
than Chief Brown, however, having quite
large crowd of contractors and others pres
ent to witness the opening of the bids. This
was the first step toward preparations for
the summer work of the department. The
bids were numerous, and some of them very
lengthy, comprising large number OF
things necessary for a big years
work. The public works end of munich
pal government like that of Pittsburg re-
quires not only the outlay of large amount
of money, but the selection of great guam
tity of implements and materials for vari-
Gus kinds of improvements. The larger
items in the bids opened yesterday were for
cast iron water pipes and lumber
The Chief worked about two hours on the
bids, and fnaIly1got them all opened and
read. Owing to the complication of the
items he then decided to adjourn the meet
ing till tomorrow morning at 1890 o'clock,
when the award of the contracts will be an
nounced,

THE AMERICUS BANQUET.

Preparations Well Advanced for the Fifth
Annual Dinner on Grants Birthday
The Decorations, Menu and Souvenir
Very Few Tickets Yet Unsold.
Two weeks from tomorrow. the 9th in
stant, is the date on which the fifth annual
dinner OF the Americus Republican Club
will be hel at the Monongahela House, to
com m emorate the si1ty-ninth anniversary
of the birth of General q. s. Grant. The
com mittee having in charge the arrange
nents is hard at work, and the indications
are that it will be the most successful din
ner yet conducted by the club. Chairman
Logan, of the Banquet Committee, stated
last evening that they were looking after
every detail, and would leave nothing un-
done that could tend to promote the success
of the dinner. The menu card will be very
neat and artistic, but will not this
year be considered the principal
souvenir. The committee has in store
souvenir that it thinks Will be appreciated
by the guests, it being entirely different from
any previously presented by the club.
The decorations at the hotel will be given
special attention, and may be expected to
be unusually fine. Manager Kelly, of the
Mouongahela House, has given every assur-
an ce that the hotel accommodations will be
superior in every respect to any dinner ever
given in this city. The sale of seats has
been all that could be desired. Up to
last evening there remained unsold
less than 20 seats out of the 2I4
the committee had to dispose OF. The
committee is receiving many applications
for seats from prominent business and pro-
fessional men not members of the club.
The speakers, who are all of national
reputation, are sufficient assurance that that
part of the programme will be all that could
be desired. The committee would not give
the subjects on which each gentle man would
speak, but it is understood that "Reci.
proclty," the prospects of the Republican
party for '92, and other live issues OF the
day will be fully discussed.
The committee having the dinner in
charge is as follows: Major A. j. Logan,
Chairman; A. M. Voigt, Secretary; james
II. Wilcox, Treasurer; B. L. Wood, Jr.,
W. NJ. Gibbs, w. H. Keecb, John A. Reed,
h. S. Paul, 6. W. Darr, James P. Ander-
son and S. L. Schoonmaker. The plan of
tables is in the hands of James b. Wilcox,
at the Second National Bank, and any per-
son desiring information regarding seats can
get 1t from Mr.. Wilcox or any member of
the committee.
The Committee on New Clubhouse is urg-
ing on the work of repairs and alterations
with the desire to have their new house
ready for use of the members and guests on
the day Of the fifth annual banquet The
arrangement being carried out by the COM
lnittee will give the club home second to
none, and fully sustaining the reputation of
''the foremost Republican club of the fore
most Republican State of the Union"

COMMITTEE EXPENSES.

The Object of Separate Appropriation Bills
Not Appreciated.
Representative w. 7. Marshall was rather
surprised that the Governor should want the
expenses of the investigating committees
put in separate appropriation bills. The
practice has been to include these accounts
in the general appropriation bill,
and as the Governor has right
to object to auy item, he fails to see what
advantage is secured by the change. Mr..
Marshall says if there is to bea kick the
expenses of the committees appointed by
joint resolution would certainly be paid, as
Governor Pattison had concurred in them
Mr.. Marshall does not think the tax bill
in its present form will pass. He SAYS he
can't understand what the Grangers meant
by introducing some features of the meas

So we made a treaty of peace

On Friday evening we put in an
assortment of goods, thinking if we
did not sell anything we would at
least get acquainted. But we found
there was no need to get ac-

SOLDIER BOYS HOME.
The Eighteenth Regiment Glad to Be
Back From the Coke Region.
WARN RECEPTION FROM CITIZENS.
Colonel Smith lnstructs officers Not tc
Lose Trace of Their Men,
SURGEONS REPORT LITTLE SICKNESS

The Eighteenth Regiment, rather weary
and footsore, arrived in the city from the
coke country about 4 o'clock yesterday after
noon. The boys have had enough OF
soldering in the damp rains Of April, and
were glad to be back. Their clothes, mus
kets and accoutrements showed service, and
they all admit they have not been off on a
picnic.
A line was formed at the Union depot,
headed by the regimental drum corps, and
the march to the barracks was made down
Liberty street and over Wood street and
Fifth avenue. The reception by the people
all along the line was warm and cordial,
and the boys could not have desired a
heartier greeting.
Sorry to See Them Leave.
When the train moved out from Mt.
Pleasant and Scottdale there was rousing
cheer sent up from the strikers for the Ma
tional Guardsmen, showing that no ill-will
toward the soldiers existed. Indeed, many
of the idle cokeworkers were sorry 10 see the
regiment return, as the presence of the boys
helped to drive away the ennui of in
activity.
At the armory the men soon dispersed and
hurried home in search of food, a bath and
sleep. Colonel Smith addressed the officers
in an informal way, and commended the
soldierly bearing and good work OF their
men. He said he was greatly pleased with
their behavior. He advised the officers to
keep in communication with the boys, as
they may be called out again on short
notice. Surgeon G. G.. Wiley said that
only two men were really very sick during
the stay in the region, a TACT which he
regarded as remarkable, considering the
bad weather and the prevalence of the grip.
One of the men was sent home and the other
recovered sufficiently to return with his
company.
Thinks They Want to Work.
In an interview on the situation, Colonel
Smith gave it as his opinion that two-thirds
of the men wanted to go to work, but they
were controlled by the other third.
General j. A. Wiley was at the Seventh
Avenue Hotel. He will occasionally visit
the region as long as the Tenth Regiment
remains. Four recruits of Company K,
from Washington county, went to Mt.
Pleasant last evening. Adjutant General
McClelland returned to Harrisburg last
night. He couldn't say how long the
troops would stay in the coke
country, and he didn't know whether be
would 20 back or not. He declined to give
an opinion on the merits OF the labor fight
He said be could not add anything to what
he had said in THE DISPATCH yesterday.
He W as pleased with the Eighteenth Regi-
ment, and says they acted like veterans.

Buck Cornelius Gives a Conductor a Lesson

"Buck" Cornelius. the well-known sport.
drifted into Central station last night, as
sisted by patrol wagon. He drifted out
few moments later, but left behind him a
$50 forfeit. A woman was the basis of his
trouble. He was on West End street car
about $50 o'clock, when a woman asked
him TO stop the car. The car was stopped
and the lady alighted. A moment later the
cash boy who runs the car entered, preceded
by badge No. II, and remarked:
"What business hrve you to stop this car?
Amt paid Tor that?'
"Why don't you try to earn your salary,
then?" was the response.
A lively dialogue followed, until the
Pittsburg side was reached, when the con-
ductor threatened to have Cornelius ar
rested. That gentleman endeavored to get
the number of the conductors badge, but as
he looked the conductors fist was planted in
his eye. "Ruck" Cornelius returned the
compliment, together with a few artistic
touches. Central station was the result.

The Leading M Music House.

The throngs of people that visit Klebers'
music house prove that theirs are the most
attractive and popular pianos and organs.
The superiority Of their instruments is con-
ceded by all. Steinway and Conover and
the Opera are the names that are known as
the leaders in the piano world. Their
Vocation church organ, costing only $500, is
equal to any 81, 500 pipe organ. They also
are agents Tor the famous Burdett and we'll
known Earhuff organs. all of which have
been tried and found to be head and
shoulders above any other make. Klebers
are trusted and preferred by large majority
of the musical buyers, and when you pur-
chase there you are sure of getting the best
obtainabie. Call at 500 Wood street.

POINTS ON POSTAGE,

A New Gard of Information on Mail
Matters.
A new card of information for the public
concerning the regulations of the mail
service at Pittsburg has been prepared for
distribution among business men and
others, by Assistant Custodian Colville
On one side is a tabulated statement show
ing the hours at which mails close for all
the principal cities of the country, together
with the number of hours in transit to each
of these places. At the bottom Of the card
is a statement of the number and time of
carriers trips in different sections of the
city.
The other side of the card contains rates
OF postage on first, second, third and fourth
class mail matter, and a complete digest of
the laws governing the treatment OF
mail. There is a full explanation of the
workings of the money order department
with the fees for various amounts.
The rates and conditions applicable to
mail intended FOR countries in the Universal
Postal Union are also given, as we'll as those
not embraced in the union. At the bottom
is list of articles declared unavailable, and
some valuable suggestions to the public con-
cerning the proper methods of getting up
mail.
'"Thare are many business men," said Mr..
Colville yesterday. "who have been using
the mails extensively for years, and yet who
have never become familiar with various
rates of postage. We have known the same
person to come day after day with the same
kind of matter and have to ask every time
what the rate is. The men at the stamp
windows are kept busy all day answering
just such questions as have been explained
on this card, and more of their time is taken
up in this way than in selling stamps.
"These cards will be distributed among
people who have much mail, aud it is hoped
to save much valuable time at the postof-
flee, as they can get all necessary inlorma-
tion from the card before they come here.
ut is surprising how few people know
anything more about postal rates than tn at
an ordinary letter requires 2-cent stamp"

RAILROAD LAKE RATES,
A Heavy Advance in the Schedule to st.
Paul Common Points.

A Heavy Advance in the Schedule to st.
Paul Common Points.
The rail and lake rates from this territory
to St. Paul common points will go into
effect April 81. The schedule this
year is much higher than for last
season, on somo of the upper classes the ad-
vance being as much as 90 cents. The new
rates for iron and steel will be. less than car
loades, 37H cents; carloads, % cents.
The rates last year were q and 221z cents.
For the six CLASSES the rates are 92L, 971f,
5751, 40, 32H and 2S cents. The aI-rail
rate is 10 cents higher on the first three
classes and cents on the last three. There
is some consolation in the expectation of
freight agents that these rates may be
slightly reduced later in the summer.
The close of the week shows little i'm
provement in the traffic, and with the pros
pect Of numerous strikes over the eight-hour
question, tie situation is not any too bright.

DANGERS IN A DRIVE,

Neville Island Greatly in Need of First
Class Roadway.
Exceptions having been FLED to the open
ing of the proposed boulevard down the
center of Neville Island, the project has
been hung up for some time in court.
Though it is expected to emerge in about
three months, some of the islanders say
they are like to be without road entirely
before that time. In front of Gibson's
place the road was SO washed by the late
food that teamsters have scraped the bark
off the shade trees on the south side, and
even then the crumbling bank threatens to
topple them over the high precipice into
the river.
1t is feared that any day an accident may
result, costing the islanders thousands OF
dollars. People fully cognizant of the dan
ger could scarce be induced to drive past the
place at night.
