Indications point very conclusiyely,
at this writing, to the early resumption
of operations in this vicinity by the
Harvey Peak Tin Company. While
there is nothing definite known as to
the precise time when operations will
commence, there are numerous reasons
for abridging further delay, which, in
connection with the current rumor, that
family has been engaged to take charge
of the company boarding house at the
Tin Reef mine, would naturally lead to
the conclusion that the era of tin, in this
neck o'woods, was about to make its ad-
vent.

The b. & M. passenger train pulled
out Friday morning, leaving the con-
ductor behind who being and ardent
lover of the beautiful had become utter
iy oblivious to the situation in his rapt
contemplation of Clusters sublime and
bewitchingly beautiful scenery. The
train backed up to the depot and took
him aboard, after having gone half
mile before his absence was dicovered.
The new road from Custer to the
Squaw Greek Silver camp, now ap-
preaching completion is said to be by
far the best road leading into that camp
from any point. The distance is scarce
ly twelve miles, and there is not hill
of any consequence on 1t. The neces-
sity of establishing good practical
road from that rapidly growing camp,
to the county seat, can not be over-esti-
mated, and it is gratifying to note that
that Custer did not escape the early
realization of the important fact.

Thomas Tracy Predicts . Fit OF Insanity
and Has It.
Last evening, Thomas Tracy, q years old
and six foot two iuches in height, called at
the Fourth ward station and asked to be
taken care OF. In answer TO Sergeant Nc
Elhaney's questions, Tracy stated that he
lived on Gazzams Hill and he was subject to
violent spells. As there was no one home
but his mother he was afraid to stay in the
house. Tracy was given, quarters in cell
and hardly had been placed there when he
was seized with one of his fits of insanity.
1t required four men to hold him. His
theme seemed to be religion. and he talked
on that subject in an incoherent manner.
Tracy was arrested about yesr ago, tried
and acquitted Of the murderof Ida Shannon.
He was driving q wagon for James Nc
Kibben, and one day while driving along
Elm street the little girl was run down and
killed. Tracy was incarcerated in Jail for .
long time and it is thought that his present
condition comes from the strain. There is
o trace of insanity in the family, his sister
being an inmate of Dixmont

Chairman Blanchard Predicts a Grea,
Season for Railroads.
George r. Blanchard, Chairman of the
Central Traffic Association, was passenger
on the limited last evening, going to Chica-
10. A meeting OF the organization will be
held tomorrow in the Windy City. Mr..
Blanchard feels sure that the boycotting
lines have the Chicago and Alton road on
the hip this time. but he had the same opin-
ion once before and it never materialized.
He thinks there is no show for the Alton.
and ultimately the road will have 10 give In
to brute force.
Mr.. Blanchard states that in spite OF all
the talk about hard times the railroad ship
ments are good, and that traffic will be
heavier this season than 1t has been for
years. He bases his prediction on the
wonderful crops and the fact that business
men have been dealing from hand to mouth.
Mr. BlaRchard always figures on the annual
growth OF the country, which he claims is
enormous, and which so lew people stop TO
consider. General Passenger Agent Z. A.
Ford, of the FL Wayne, says the business on
his line has kent up during the period Of
depression, and he attributes it to the de-
velopment of the towns along the line.

DRANK EMBALMIN FLUID.

A Two-Year-Old Child Of Michael Cook
Takes the Poisonous Liquid Intended
for Its Brothers Corpse-Died In Great
Agony
A two-year.old child Of Michael Cook, Of
Locust alley, near Lowrie street, Allegheny,
drank cup Of embalming fluid yesterday
morning and died soon after in great agony.
There will be double funeral tomorrow.
Mr.. Cook is laborer at Carnegie's Thirty
third street mill. and has quite large
family. One Of his children. Edward Cook,
aged IL years, was employed at the O'Hara
glass works, Twelfth ward. At an early
hour Saturday morning he came home and
commenced drinking ice-water. He was
Immediately attacked by severe cramps and
died shortly after.
An undertaken was sent for to embalm
the body and by late hour Saturday night
had the body about prepared. The under
taker left a cup of embalming fluid on Q
high mantlepiece and gave instructions to
the parents to occasionally sponge the face
of the deceased boy. A member OF the family
did this, but did not place the fluid again
on the mantle, leaving it on table near the
corpse.
Yesterday morning two-year-old daugh-
ter Of Mr.. Cook got into the darkened room
and drank the contents of the cup. DR..
Kennedy was called first and later DR..
Clark. but the child was so far gone before
it was discovered what it had taken. that it
died. An inquest will be held this morn

ments st the Menageric.
Yesterday was the first Sunday for Chief
Bieelow's animals at tschenley Park. Hun
dreds OF people strolled around 10 the Zoo to
take q peep at the pets Just as many 9th.
ers failed to find the menagerie. Two
dozen Gagged animals do not cut much Of q
figure In 400 acres Of wilderness. Ordinary
Pittsburgers not experienced Rocky Noun
tain tourists find an elegant opportunity Tor
q pair Of stout horses and q guide in hunt
ing the quarters of the curiosities. Several
parties of people made the trip SUGGEST ully
by following the trail of the elephant, made
last Wednesday. There is some talk of
walking "Gusky" back over the road az
soon as his heavy footprints are obscured by
rain. The Zoo has plenty OF room to spread
in the big park. ---
The quarters of the animals at the head Of
Panther Hollow are not very complete as
yet, though they are comfortable enough.
Bruins movements are limited to 20.foot
circle around a small tree, to which he is
chained. Still it is more to his taste than
the gloomy interior of the old market house.
The elephant has not expressed desire to
make another run back toward winter quar-
ters, though he is not excessively taken with
the beauties of nature in the Temperate
Zone The frisky monkeys are still kept in
their old cages, against which they seriously
protest, as the breath OF pure forest air has
stirred up in their hairy breasts desire for
freedom.
Much care has to be taken of the tropical
birds and animals, as an exposure to the
chill air of our cool, Northern nights is very
conducive of grip and kindred malsdies,
much of which would soon blast Chief Bige-
lows hopes for a menagerie The old house
is being used for these tender pets. Work
will soon be started on better quarters for
the animals, as we'll as some accommoda-
tIons for people who visit them.
Yesterday was too beautiful q day for
people to stay away from the park. A
greater number of sight-seers strolled along
its shady paths than at any time this year.
Carriages, buggies and pleasure vehicles of
all descriptions were out In large numbers.
The park has become decidedly popular
Sunday resort, and the prospect OF better
accommodations being made soon for the
people will make it much more attractive.
The Allegheny Parks and the Heron Hill
Park were also thronged with people yes
terday, seeking coolness on a very warm
spring Sabbath

will be to their interests, and will subscribe
literally. Q. L. Magee last year promised
that this year be would subscribe $500 to the
fund, and we can confidently count upon
that much. We expect the city officials to
contribute this year also.
There are number Of reasons why this
years celebration should be more popular
than last years. Then it was new idea. in
one sense. and people were q little timid
about turning out, but the Thousands who
did go were SO we'll pleased that they Will GO
again and take their friends along. Two
traction lines make easy access to the park.
The opening up of the new Forbes street en-
trance to the park will be great conven-
fence to the crowds who attend the anniver-
sarv. Mr.. Bigelow expects to build the new
bridge connecting the park directly
with Bellefeld avenue in time
for the Fourth of July, and the number Of
good roads, paths and other conveniences at
the park will be greatly increased by that
time. This bridge will make the park easily
accessible, saving fully half mile walk or
drive to get into il, as well as dispensing
with great deal of hill climbing. which is
now drawback to the park.
Worth Going Many Miles to See.
GAS to the arrangements for the celebra-
tion, I do not care to say very much at pres
eut, except that they will be much the same
as last year, only on a grander scale, pro-
videi We can secure the necessary contribu-
tions. We expect to have pyrotechnic
display in the evening that will delight the
people, and, as Barnum used to say, worth
going a hundred miles to see.' Our plans
as to sports and games are an improvement
over last years, and will be so arranged, if
possible, as to secure the entry of a larger
number of local athletes. One idea has
been suggested, that of having q baseball
game between two of our first-class local
clubs. I think we can get very lair field
at the park, and such contest would inter
est great many people who never 60 to see
professional games. We will have a num-
Der of merrv-go-rounds, probably, for the
children, and will make other arrangements
for the special amusement of the little
folks.
1.-THE Fourth of July orations will be
managed somewhat differently from last
year, and the speakers will be limited to
five or ten minutes. Some Of our leading
speakers will be invited, of course, and the
question of musical entertainment will not
be overlooked.
"I think we can promise to give the peo-
pie as fpe days recreation IS was ever at

events are good for the people; they adver.

COMPLETING THE SCHEME.
A Meeting Of Tin Plate Manufacturers
Permanently Organize.

A Meeting of Tin Plate Manufacturers to
Permanently Organize.
On Wednesday of next week another
meeting of the Tin Plate Manufacturer As
sociation will be held in Pittsburg. At the
meeting held in New York, where several
Pittsburg manufacturers were in attendance,
partial promises were reported from several
sheet mill owners to adopt the plan as sug-
gested by the association. That is to have
timed plate made in two separate establish
ments.
Committees were appointed to confer with
q number of the sheet mill owners, and try,
il possible, to induce them to attend the
meeting here. 1t is expected there will be
full attendance, and that the entire plan
will be definitely settled upon, SO as to have
it in practical operation by July 1, when
the. new duty goes into effect.
The United States Tin Plate Company is
still making plates on small scale, but the
extensive Improvements which are being
made will be completed in about week or
ten; days, and the capacity will then be
doubled.
A new. mill is being erected in Philadel-
phia. A company has been organized with
a capital stock of 81. 900, 900, and the plant
will have capacity Of 10, 900 boxes week.

THINNING THEM OUT.

Alleeheny's New superintendent Making

Avenue Resort Fitted Up In Handsome
style-One in Pittsburg.
Allegheny speak. .easies are having hard
time under the administration OF Superin-
tendent Muth, who has declared war on all
of them. Yesterday he had the satisfaction
of seeing .wo more of them pulled in. One
was closed at noon when Lieutenant Thorn.
ton and squad Of police swooped down on
No. 10 Sawmill alley, where q man known
as ''the Jack Of Clubs" keeps house.
The house is speak-easy of long
standing, but is worked so quietly that not
more than half q dozen are allowed in it at
one time. Five men found in the house
were locked up. tis
Another successful raid was made by the
same officer, together with Lieutenant
Boyd and q squad. About o'clock las.
night they rallied on the house of Mrst
Simendinger, on Spring Garden avenue. 1t
is also an old-timer.. A handsome parlor
was fitted up as a gambling room, where
drinks were served on the tables to the
players. Three card tables were in the
room and all of them were occupied. A
little sink was built against the wall
and a rack to drain the washed
glasses lay upon it. The place
was comfortably filled and the visitors were
enjoying themselves when the officers ar
rived. Their coming. however, was noted by
a girl in a second story window, who gave
an alarm and some of the inmates, together
with the "stool pigeon" made their escape.
Mrs. Simendinger and nine men were ar
rested and sent to the lookup.
Lieutenant Holmes and Officer Bagbv
raided an alleged disorderly house kept by
Peter Burns last night ON Jones avenue,
Twelfth ward. Burns, Frank Moore, Emma
Goodel and Lizzie Moss were arrested and
sent to the Twelfth ward police station.

FOR $685. 900 PER MILE.
This Is What 1t Will Cost to Make the
SchenIey Park Roads

SchenIey Park Roads.
Col. John Y. Culyer, of New York, the
landscape gardener who is improving
Schenley Park, registered at the Duquesne
last evening. The Colonel said they would
commence to-day to make the roads, and he
desired to be here to personally inspect the
work. They will be made of the stone and
gravel found in the park. The Central
Park roads in New York cost from S65. 900
to $50, 900 per mile. When the colonel laid
out Prospect Park in Brooklyn he pro6ted
by his iormer experience and was able to
reduce the cost of the roads to one-half that
sum. He thinks the roads in Schenley
Park can be made for Sc, ,OG0 per mile
The Colonel said: with the heavy CLAW
soil found in the park it is difficult to make
good roads. In the spring when 1 was here
it was almost impossible to cross the park
on account OF the mud. Water is tine great
enemy OF roads, and it soon fills them with
ruts and holes unless thoroughly drained.
. Particular attention will be paid to the
drainage in Schenley. The surface of the
gfSund is so diversified that there is not
another park in the country like it. Roads
are the first essentials, and it will take some
figuring to lay out the walks and bride
paths down the sides of the steep raviues.

beautifying the park, and it will be carried
