The Veteran Lawyer Passes Away After q
Long IIlness-An Acknowledged Au.
thority on Road LAVA Brief Sketch
of His Brilliant Career.
A. NJ. Watson, one of the oldest lawyer:
at the Allegheny County Bar, died at his
home in Bellevue, yesterday afternoon, from
a complication of diseases. The remote
cause OF his death was the grip, which he
contracted last winter. and from which he
never recovered. The end was not unexpected,
as DR.. Joseph n. Dickson, his brother-in.law,
said few days ago that he could not liya
much longer Mr. Watson was confined to his
bed since last November.
His age was IS years. and he leaves wife and
seven children. J. D. Watson, his eldest son,
is prominent young lawyer and his daughter.
Mary is promising artist Mr.. w atson had
State well as county reputation. At the
age of 20 years he graduated from the West
ern University and had such men as Justice
Sterritt, Edwin NJ. stanton, Colonel w. d.
Moore and Stephen H. Geyer for schoolmates.
To please his father he studied for the. minis
try ard preached for six months. when he took
to the law and was admitted to the bar at the
age of a. He pracsrced in Allegheny
of the best known of the local
lawyers He was an acknowledged authority
on road law and was the father of admiralty
law in the State. Mr.. Watson made specially
Of damage suits against railroads, manufact-
urers ana steamboat owners His first great
case was to compel the Smithteld Street
Bridge Company To raise the structure. He
won it. and it has been precedent ever since.
Mr.. Watson was always river champion and
was influential in having the DAVIS Island dam
built in spite of the vigorous opposition of the
Coal Exchange.
He was one of the founders of the Republican
party. and was one of the few men who early
discerned the ability of General Grant. In
county conventions he introduced resolutions
indorsing Stanton, who was his personal friend,
and mentioned Grant for the Presidency he
was lifelong Republican and prominent In
politics.
Mr. Watson comes from one of the oldest
families in this section. His father, James
Watson, was among the first settlers, and he
lived for years on farm out the Perrysville
road, where MIR. Watson was born. He mar
ried sister Of Drs. John and Joseph n. Dick
son. Mr.. Watson was az exceedingly kind
hearted and generous man. He was fond of
young men and took a great interest In their
welfare. His familiar figure, feet inches In
length, will be missed on Diamond street,
where he could frequently be seen during the
summer sitting on his office steps entertaining
a crowd of young fellows with good story.
Fifteen years ago he was worth at least 81. 000.-
OO0. but during the panic he lost heavily
through the failure of others. Verify great
man is gone and there are many who will
mourn him.

ROMANCE OF THE GRIP.
A Young and Wel1-Educated German Dies
at the Poor Farm.

A Young and Wel1-Educated German Dies
at the Poor Farm.
There died yesterday from the grip, at the
Poor Farm, young German about whom
there is something of romantic story. Paul
Wolf, 10 years old, came to this country about
two years ago, and after drifting for time
. reached Pittsburg. something like seven
months since he was employed by Mrs. Rose
McHugh. who keeps boarding house at No.
36 Third avenue. as an all-arOund boy. She
became very much attached to him and when
he fell sick had him sent to Mercy Hospital
Upon being discharged from there he returned
10 Mrs. McHugh.
The latter's son. learning that the boy was
suffering from consumption, wrote to his
parents in Germany and told him that if they
would take him home his life could be saved.
They wanted to know how much money it
would cost, and while the correspondence was
in progress Paul grew much worse that he
was sent to the Poor Farm. There he con.
tracted the grip. While dull in many respects
he had exceptional musical talents and a fine
general education. His parents are evidently
well-to-do. He will be buried by his friends
here and his parents notified. Mr.. McHugh
says that he believes the boy did not want to
go to Germany, as he had always said how well
pleased lie was with his home. Mrs. McHugh
EUrsed him until she became sick anu Is now
confined to her bed She has not been told of
his death, nor even of the fact that he had been
removed from the house.

Glass Men Ask for Better Rates on Re-
Electors and Street Lamp Globes.
A subcommittee of the Pittsburg Freight
Committee met yesterday to consider the
classification of refectors and street lamp
globes. At present no car rate is allowed for
refiectors and in less than car lots they take
double first.class rates. Shippers ask to send
refectors and street lamp globes in mixed cars.
The matter was taken up at the request
of 7. G. Evans & Co., and freight agents gen.
orally agree that the demand is just. Division
Freight Agent Galleher. of the Baltimore and
Ohio, said nothing had been done. but they
would report to the Pittsburg committee. The
indications are that a favorable recommenda-
ton will be made to the Classification CON-
mittee.
The passenger agents have made So round
trip rate for the Jr o. U. A. M. meeting at
Cleveland in June A rate of fare and one
third for radius of rs miles will be offered to
those who will attend the May festival. Mr.
Clark thinks that the present chilly weather
is a sure indication that the summer will be
warm. and he expects good excursion busi-
ness,
In the freight departments the agents are
still looking for the expected boom in the iron
They have not lost all hope but are waiting
patiently. Mr.. Campbell, of the Chicago and
Alton consoles himself withth argument that
business at this time last year was very dull,
but about the time the boys wanted their vaca-
tions they were too busy to go anywhere. He
thinks the same thing will happen this
summer.

M'KINLEY LAUGHS,

No Fear of Serious Trouble With the
Italian Government.
Major William Mckinley passed through the
city last evening bound for Washington. The
Major said that the talk of war with Italy was
all nonsense. The fact that the Italian Gov
ernment had left representative in charge of
the Office at Washington showed that there was
no intention to declare hostilities. Minister
Fava. he thought, was recalled because the
Italians felt that the United States was not
doing its duty in punIshing the lynchers as
promptly as they would like to see it done. He
remarked that the United States had few
ships. and it would not be an easy job in the
headway along the coast The Maj is in the
ring for the Ohio Goyernorship.

Last Night and Died.
The first of the death throes of Allegheny as
third-class city were apparent last night.
Seven committees met and died. They were
the committees on police. gas. parks, health,
library. surveys and wharves and landings. All
was as quiet as the eve of a funeral. The only
business transacted was the receiving of reports
and the approval of bills and the pay rolls for
last month. In the Health Committee a vote
of thanks was rendered to retiring Health
Officer Bradley.
Tonight the committees on streets and sew
ers water, fire, city property, printing, roads

Increasing Their Numbers.

Everything was quiet around the corkworks
yesterday. The firm claimed to have an ad-

and said they had complement sufficient to
see their way clear regarding orders. The
strikers STAYED away from the shop, and
claimed that their people were as firm as at
any time since the strike began, and even more
determined to fight the matter out.

SHERMAN AND THE ITALIANS.

The Senator Does Not Think There Will
Be Any Trouble.
Senator John Sherman passed through the
city yesterday on his way home. He expressed
the opinion that there was no prospect at all of
war with Italy. His impression was that the
trouble had arisen from the fact that Baron
Fava had probably acted too hastily.
Even if war should be declared, he said, it
would not amount to much, as The United
States Navy was now in an excellent condition,
and there certainly was no danger on land.
The Senator said that he thought the Mckinley
tariff bill had proved itself a success and that
the Major could have the nomination for
Governor if he wanted it.
