MUSICAL CHURCH DIsCoRD.
A Congregational Meeting That Promises

Congregational Meeting That Promises
to Be Full of Interest.
There's a musical discord in the Second
Presbyterian Church that's agitating the con-
gregation pretty generally, and will possibly
come up for discussion at the annual congrega-
tional meeting, to be held the first Monday of
next month. The First Presbyterian Church
figures In the matter to a slight extent, in that

Church more money and secured her.

grown aweary of the continued struggle
with sopranos altos, bassos and. ten

have IN view a professor whose singing is war
ranted to rival Sankey's, and who can obtain

pitch, and will probably run the full scale

Another matter, that of selling the church

valuable ground, is expected to make its

idea are preparing and remodelinE their last
years arguments against the proposal.

GRIP LOSING ITS HOLD.

Rapid Decrease in the Disease About the
Two Observation-Disclosures Baker An
ticipates a Season of Health More
Deaths Among Old People Yesterday.
Grip is steadily fading away before the
April sun. Although the suns smiles were
scarce yesterday, only 10 deaths had heen
reported at the Bureau Of Health up until
o'clock. Nine of these were from pneumonia
caused by grip and was from grip alone.
Reports from all over the city show that but
few persons are taking the disease now. and
those who are suffering from it are being re-
lieved by the improved weather.
There were only four new cases of spotted
fever reported, and Superintendent Baker in
speaking Ofthe health of the city, said that it
would be good if it were not for the grip. He
says the backbone of that malady is broken
and that few more days of sunshine will end
il, for this year at least.
In Allegheny the grip is also losing its hold.
All of the patients and nurses at the Allegheny
General Hospital have recovered from the dis
ease and not a new case has been brought in
there in the last 4S hours. AL over both cities
old forces are again appearing at the Offices,
works. etc. Most OF the victims are pale and
thin. but able to be out.
Chief Edward Armstrong, of the Allegheny
Department of Public Works. will soon be
able to attend to his duties again. Turnkey
James Henry. of the Allegheny Police Depart
ment is also again on duty after a severe at
tack.
Depot Master Butler is one of the persons
that are again out at Union station. Grip was
the course of his prolonged absence.
Among the deaths of old people yesterday
were James Griffith. of the Evergreen road,
aged 72 years. and Mrs. Fannie Woods relict

Even if the Ten-Pin Alley Has to Be Sand
papcred Every Day.
Bellefield has a club, the object of whose
members is to a certain extent social recre-
alton, and among other means of recreating
the clubroom is furnished with ten-pin allev.
1t is alleged by a member of the club that two
members, one ar irenmal1er who lives on Craig
street, and another a man who does buSI-
ness on Second avenue and resides on Neville
street. read in The DISPATCH 4 story written
by Bill Nye containing some suggestions re-
garding the road to success in playing the game,
alleys on which their opponents rolled in such
a manner that to make a ten-strike was an i'm
possibility.
1t is alleged that exceedingly fine wires wore
LAID SO deftly in the alleys and secured as to be
ordinarily imperceptibe. These wires gave
the balls q bias which led them uniformly
into the cutters that suspicion was finally
aroused that everything was not on the square.
Among the investigators was Cyrus S. Gray, of
the Orphans Court, who announced that he
was able TO see streaks on the alleys that re-
sembled cobweps. Acting on the suggestion a
critical examination was made and the wires
were found LAID on the lines of beauty, sug-
gested bv Mr.. Nye.
The club has decided that there shall be no
more monkeying, even though it be necessary
to have the alleys saEd-papered daily to pre-
vent il.

A RECEIVER APPOINTED.

j. M. Schoonmaker Directed to Take
Charge OF the Columbia Iron and Steel
Company-Another Secret Meeting at
Uniontown-Capitalists Interested.
j. NJ. Schoonmaker was yesterday ap-
pointed by Judge Reed, of the United
States District Court, as receiver of the
Columbia Iron and Steel Company, with
directions to file bond in the sum Of
100000 He was directed to take charge
of the company's property, and all other
parties were enjoined from any interference
in the matter, which prevents Assignee O'Brien
from acting.
There is still serious hitch in the negotia-
tions between the Columbia Iron and Steel
Company and the Upiontown capitalists who
have been investigating the affairs of the coll
Germ with view to obtaining controlling in
terest in it. John A. Nicolls and Judge Ewing
came to Pittsburg yesterday in the inter-
est Of the Uniontown syndicate, fully prepared
to close matters with the company. Bnt when
they got here they found that the Columbia
people were not able to meet their promise to
furnish a practical and responsible iron man
who would accept the presidency of the COM
pany. Ghe UDiontown people say they have
not sufficient confidence in the present manage
would be no trouble about getting them to
furnish all the money necessary to carry on the
business. One of the capitalists most directly
interested said last night that they were willing
to allow the present management to assume
control of the mill. subject to the dictation of
competent President.
Another secret meeting between the Messrs.
ButZ and the Uniontown syndicate was held
last night, but the result of 1t was not made
public.

at Old City RaIl-The Praise of Woman

Father P. Maurice Kaeder is an able man
and ripe scholar. So he demonstrated
himself to be last evening at Old City Hall,
when he delivered his lecture, Nuns,

hood" under the auspices of distinguished
committee of citizens. irrespective of religious
faith, and of which Bishop Phelan was Chair
man.
1t was most notable gathering. The hall
was packed, and on the stage seats were occu-

Just such Monk of commanding carriage as
Schiller and Goethe have SO gloriotfsly de-
scribed.
He first quoted literally about nuns from
Scott, Shakespeare, Wadsworth and other
poets, to show how enormously the popular
mind has been taught concerning these noble
sisterhoods of self-sacrifcing women. He de-
nounced SCOTS "Marmion" in strong terms
and bemoaned the fact that similar errors
had marred the lines of Longfellow. He
stated that the orders of nuns were in emula-
ton of the Monks, who, he said, had hewn
the way for civilization everywhere in Chris
tendon, having founded many European cities
and towns and taught the inhabitants of
Europe the arts and sciences. He also gave
some idea of the millions of nuns in Europe
during certain periods. and said that to their
examples womanhood owed much of which all
trne women to-day are proud.
The modern nun differed from her ancient
sister only in that times had changed and she
showed herself outside the closter. In early
days the monks were better fitted for outside
visitatons and there were no such duties open
for the nuns. Civilization has changed all that
now, and where the battle RACES there now is

Pittsburg Taxpayers Come to the Front
Promptly With Their Cash.
The City Treasurer's office was kept open un-
til o'clock last night for the benefit of those
who were desirous of paying their taxes for
1891 in full, thereby saving 5 per cent on the
September half thereof Yesterday being the
last day for the discount, there was 4 rush of
those who had failed to take advantage of the
opportunity earlier. but toward evening the
crowd dwindled down and the clerks were not
kept very busy.
1t is impossible to tell at present how much
of the taxes have been collected, but the
Treasurer thinks that when all the checks re-
time to add up the collections they will show
about S., $50 900. This is about the same pro.
portion of the total assessment as was paid by
April last year. Collections will be continued
for both inStalments at the Treasurers office
during this month. but no discounts will be
allowed on September installments On MAY
l the unpaid taxes of the March instalIment
will 20 to the Delinquent Collector who will
charge a commission of per cent. The Treas
urer thinks that not over IL per cent will thus
go delinsuent, that being about the average
each year.
Immediately after the tax levy was an
nounced the Treasurer received perfect ava
Ianche of checks by mail from business firms
lections requiring the full time of clerks, had
to be laid aside until the rush was over. Work
will commence on these checks to-day, and iu-
side of three weeks those who paid their taxes
in this way will receive their receipts. The
Treasurer desires that such persons will not
feel uneasy but will patiently wait until he has
time to get the receipts ready.

The Leading 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. SteimEay and Conoyer and
the Opera are the names that are known as
the leaders in the piano world. Their Vo-
Gallon church organ, costing only $500, is
equal to any $500 pipe organ. They also
are agents for the famous Burdett and we'll
known Earhuff organs, all of which have
been tried and found to be head and shoul-
ders above any other make. Klebers are
trusted and preferred by large majority of
the musical buyers, and when you purchase
there you are sure of getting the best OBJ
tainable. Call at SOC Wood street.
