WOMEN WHO WILL TALK.
How a Cosby Trio Amused a Crowd of
Drummers at the Anderson,

How a Cosby Trio Amused a Crowd of
Drummers at the Anderson.
The ability of women to talk, particularly
gossip, has been the foundation for many
vile joke by newspaper paragraphers.
Three ladies caused considerable amusement
yesterday for a party of drummers at the
Anderson. Two of them met in front of
the house, and, after the usual salutation of
a kiss and handshade, commenced to chat
ter. They consumed 20 minutes by actual
count when the third came along and Joined
in the conversation. They stood so long as
TO attract attention, and after an hour had
fitted away one drummer laid wager with
another that the biggest of the trio would
quit first.
As the guests came in for supper their
notice was directed to the ladies, and more
bets were made. The commercial men be-
came so interested that they gathered around
the women, but the latter were lost in the
discussion and failed to notice the crowd
One by one drummers who got tired would
drop ont, but others would go on watch
Well, the women were finally requested to
move along by the police, as there was dan
ger of the square filling up, and the disap-
pointed agents declared all bets off, The
ladies kept up the conversation for over two
hours, and are supposed TO be still at it.

SHE COULD NOT WRITE.
A Sweet Young Thing at the Union Depot
Who Wanted a Communication Ticket.

Who Wanted a Communication Ticket.
1--WE meet many unthinking people dur
ing the day." said ticket agent at the
Union depot last night. "Here is an in
stance: A young lady and gentleman came
to the window during the week, and the
lady asked for Williamsburg communication
ticket. The company has had a rule in e1-
istence for years to the effect that buyers of
these tickets must sign them, to prevent
their being handed around Unfortunately,
and when handed out the ticket asked
her to sign it. She turned to her compan-
ion and said: You sign it, and he did 1
told him that he could not, and repeated it,
and that the lady should sign it herself.
"T don't have to, was the reply.
"'Can't you write?' inquired, with the
view of having her afix her mark to it if
she could not. At this perfectly necessary
inquiry-for L was carrying out the rules of
the company-she grew indignant and re-
quested her money back. returned it, of
course, and she went away, saying she
would reach Williamsburg BY some other
route than the, railroad But this is only
an instance of the unreasonable people one
meets in the course of business.

Contractors at the New Theater Seek to Pre-
vent Alleged Interference.
A. M. McCandless and J. H. Kinser, of
MeCandless & Kinser, contractors for the
brickwork of the Alvin Theater, filed bill
in equity in Common Pleas No. yesterday
against John H. O'Brien, Edward Brod-
erick, Charles Whiteside, jesse Johnston
and James Stewart, described as members
of Bricklayers' Union No 2, praying the
Court to enjoin the defendants from inter
fering with the workmen employed on the
building in any way, and from following the
plaintiffs employees on the streets, and from
gathering about them at the places where
they live and eat and applying opprobrious
epithets to them.
! The Court fixed June 10 at 10 o. clock as
the time for an argument The filing of this
bill in the new court was alleged to be
mainly for political motive. 1t was held
that should the Judge grant an injunction
against the defendants that it would bring
down the hostility of the various unions,
and that such result might provoke an
animus against the Judges which might be
used against their political aspirations in
November.

''Shine 'em up; cost'you nickle," sang
bootblack yesterday afternoon at the
Union station. Business was rather dull,
when rustic couple passed by, and heard
the lively newsboy's bid for trade They.
were on the way to be married, and in walk
ing to the station from the farm the bu1om
bride-to-be got her cowhide shoes pretty
well covered with mud.
'Won't do, Bill" she said to her future
lord, ''to carry so much dirt into the preach
er's parlor. 'Spose hire the boy to clean
'em."
"All right" Bill replied, ''it will only
cost five pennies"
With gesture and howl like the sound
of horn which she used to call the hands
to dinner, she brought the bootblack to her
feet. The latter wore grin that couldn't
be measured as she placed her foot on the
box, and all the newsies in sight rushed up
to see the strange performance. The boys
had considerable fun out of the operation,
but the girl paid no attention to their gibes
or the remarks from those who passed BY.

USED THE WRONG WORD.
An Amusing BIunder by a Belgian Who
Thought He Could Talk English.

An Amusing BIunder by a Belgian Who
Thought He Could Talk English.
A young Belgian who came to Pittsburg
recently to locate prided himself OF his
quick mastery of the English language.
Usually foreigners complain that Euglish
is hard to learn, and is even worse than San
scrit, but this young fellow must have been
ahead Of the average European. Still, he
has few things TO learn, as the following
little incident will show:
Shortly after his arrival the Belgian at
tended a drawingroom reception in the East
End. A most charming young lady en-
gagged him in conversation, but her talk was
as hard for him TO gauge as were Jimmy
Galvin's curves when the ''old SPORT was
in his prime. His manner was so peculiar
that finally the girl said sweetly, "Ah,
monsieur, am afraid you do not remember
me-"
"Ah, yes" he answered quickly, "your
face-is chestnut"

SERIOUS ALLEGATIONS DISCUSSED.
What Chief Bigelow Says Concerning
Charges Made by Mr.. Rea.

What Chief Bigelow Says Concerning
{ : Charges Made by Mr.. Rea. /.
Business circles as well as Councilmanic
were talking yesterday about the charges of
Messrs. Henry Rea and John W. Haney
concerning alleged attempts made by Coun-
ciImen to force them into offering bribes for
railroad switch privileges. The gentlemen
emphatically declare that heavy demands
were made by persons working in the inter-
est of the City Fathers. The gossip hinged
on the prospects for an investigation, and
all concurred in the opinion that the charges
were too grave to be passed by without Off
cial recognition.
When Mr.. Bigelow was asked about the
matter yesterday he said: 81 don't know any
thing about the matter, but anyone who
would attempt to take any wealth from Mr..
Rea would have his labor in vain. He
makes practice of holding fast to pretty
much all that he gets.

Considering a Sunday Case.

There was hearing before Judge White
yesterday, in the appeal of Gillespie Broth
ers from the judgment of an alderman, for
running their oil wells on Sunday. Some
time ago Judge Stowe decided it was neces-
sary to pump the wells on Sunday, to keep
salt water out. Captain Wishart is trying
to prove there is no salt water in the wells
and that it is not necessary to pump them
on Sunday. The Court took the papers.

MIR. Ford VIII Make the First Trip With
the Keystone Express.


The new keystone express, from New
York to Chicago, will be put on the Ft.
Wayne road to-day. General Passenger
Agent f. A. Ford went to Chicago last
evening to make the first trip with the flyer.
The train, including the common coaches,
will be vestibuled and only passengers hay-
ing frst-class tickets will be carried. The
time will be little over an hour longer
than the limited's schedule
Mr.. Ford is making great claims for the
train. He is banking much on separate
smoking car, which is fitted up for every-
body who wants to smoke. Mr. Ford said it
was impossible to keep the smoke out of
Pullman cars as arranged, and the smell is
always disagreeable to ladies. The time
was, he added, when the smoking apart
ment on Pullman car was considered
great thing, but its day had passed.
