Treasurer MacFerron. The semi-annual re-
port closed ON August 81 last, and showed a
balance of $l3.995 45cash on hand. Since the
meeting in March the commission purchased
100000 worth of municipal bonds and one
s., 600 California avenue improvement bond.
The total amount of the funds in their hands
is 1858 500. which together with the cash,
gives them $377, 1876 IS.
Secretary Griers report contained the de-
tailed account of all the bonds handled since

given information to the newspapers re-
garding the financial muddle. This was de-
MED. Mr.. Grier said it was not true that he
had denied access to his books when the
audit was being made.

An Allegheny Woman With Her Revolver
Frightens Three Men.
Considerable excitement prevailed in the
vicinity of No. l52 Ellsworth street, ALE.
gheny, yesterday morning, when a woman
was standing in q doorway leveling a re-
volver at three men and threatening to kill
any one of them who dared to enter her
house. The woman who is accused of point
ing the revolver is Mrs. Mary Cole, and the
men were Tobias Kennedy and Constables
Morris and Brislin, of Alderman McMasters'
office.
Kennedy says that Mrs. Cole is daughter
in-law of his, ana for some time past has
acted as guardian of two of his children
He wished to have the children under his
care and says he was advised by Attorney

cepted the lawyers advice, and instead of
taking one constable he took two
On going to the house the men
were met by Mrs. Cole, who surmised
at once their mission after seeing Kennedy,
and it is alleged drew "a revolver and
treatened to kill Kennedy If he attempted to
take the children away. The constables were
afraid to interfere as II is said she threatened
to make things lively for them, too.
Kennedy did not proceed any further and
went before Alderman McMasterS and
entered a charge of surety of the peace
against Mrs. Cole, who was arrested on Grant
street while on her way to consult an at
torney about the matter.

CAUSING ENDLESS TALK.

Allegheny All Agog Over Her Financial
Observation-Disclosures Brown Says the
Surplus Was No Surprise-The Sub
Committee to Make an Investigation.
The only topic of discussion around Allie
gheny City Hall yesterday was Chairman
Wertheimer's reported discovery that Allie
gheny had 100000 more to her credit than
supposed. Mr.. Wertheimer said last night:
cit has been stated that 1 made the an
nouncement as joke. 1 am not in the
habit of joking, especially on subjects of
this kind. There are 100000 more in the
treasury than we had supposed"
1t was Controller Brown who said that
Chairman Wertheimer had made the state
ment in a spirit of levity. He said further
that there was nothing in the nature
OF discovery about it, ana denied that
any blunders had been made. He said the
amount in the contingent fund is always
$50 600 or $50, 600 above the estimate. This"
said the Controller, ais because the estimates
are based on a valuation of S50,00o,000. while
the actual valuation sometimes runs as high
as S55, ,000 O00"
There are many conflicting opinions in
regard to this matter among Councilman
ana city officials, some charging .1ncompe-
tence and carelessness on the part OF the
Controller and others that there is no founda-
t1on for the charges. Nothing definite can
be said until the subcommittee meets and
investigates the matter. Charles Dahlinger,
ut was reported that my motion to have
an investigating committee appointed was
lost. That was not the case. The commit.
tee consisting of Dahlinger, Simon and
Schondelmeyer were appointed, and will
meet some time next week with the Con-
troller and others, when it will be deter
mined whether there actually is such a
surplus in existence. 1t is necessary to
decide this point at once, as there is a ten
dency on the part Of the different depart
ments to ask increases in their appropria-
tions on the strength of this find"
Tax Collector Greer said there had doubt
less been great carelessness in keeping the
city's accounts, but thought this thing was.
not in the nature of discovery. He ex-
planned the surplus just as Controller Brown
did

Was the Grocers', Not the Union.

By an error OF the types yesterday in
making local allusion to the petition in
court for the dissolution of the Grocers'
Supply and Storage Company it was called
the Union Storage Company. 1t is almost
needless to say that the Union Storage Com
pany is one Of the indispensable institutions
of the town: and in place OF dissolving is
daily increasing its immense business and
resources. As everybody knows of the per-
manency and prosperity of the Union Stor-
age, the mistake of the types in confound-
ing it with the Grocers' Supply and Storage
Company is not important, but all the same
may as well be corrected.

| A New Feature of the Allegheny Street
Railway war-The p, A. and M. Said to
BE Trying to Force a Consolidation
With the Pleasant Valley.
There is considerable expectation as to
the outcome of the meeting of Corporations
Committee of the Allegheny Councils to-
morrow night. The Pittsburg. Allegheny
and Manchester Railroad Company will be
once more before that body for ordinances
granting it right of way over certain streets.
| These rights are desired to enable the COM
pany to operate along Ohio street to Mill
vale: to obtain an opening to the New
Brighton road and to secure rights in Woods
run, where a loop is desired. From the
statement of committeeman yesterday it
appears that the Pittsburg and Manchester
people may not obtain their permit.
at will be found that the committee
meeting Friday will be no quorumed,' '"
Valley Company has a certain amount of
influence and will not allow any meeting
until enough Of its men, now out of town,
have returned In other words, the ordi-
nance will not be granted. When the mat
ter was up before it was conveniently no
Quorumed, and IL will be so again. 1t is a
game of freeze out by one company of the
other witha view to consolidation, and he
gotiations are even now under way to this
end"
President Dalzell of the Manchester COM
pany, was seen IN reference TO these reports
and said:
"As far as know, there will be no attempt
Of the Pleasant Valley people to prevent
quorum being present on Friday. The mat
ter was postponed last time when quorum
could have been obtained in Is minutes. 1
don't believe in gag law, and that method of
trying to shut out a company is not fair. You
say it is charged by the Valley people that
we don't want to use these rights of way.
Why should we go before Councils and ask
for ordinances if we did not? OF course we
mean to use them. Regarding the matter Of
consolidation, there has been nothing said
about it outside of the newspapers. We have
made no overtures to the Pleasant Valley
nor have we received any from them. No
action in this direction could be taken by us
without the consent of our shareholders and
no meeting has been called for that purpose.
All can say is that we expect to obtain our
right of way next Friday"
President Henry, of the Pleasant Valley
line, said:
"Any statement that this company is in
any WAY trying to influence the action of
Councils or its committees is all nonsense
We have nothing to 10 with their action,
and If they see fit to grant rights of way to
other companies it is none of our business.
We have no objection to the Manchester
company occupying Ohio street. We have
not made any proposition to that company
for a consolidation"

UNEARTHING A PLOT
To Get Rid of Several Wealthy
Cinnamon in Pittsburg.
YEE TANG HELD FOR COURT TRIAL.
Celestials All Excited Over a Sensation In
Their Circle.
TWO SUITS AGAINST A COUNTRYMAN

Pittsburg Cinnamon are waeging their
tongues at lively rate over the biggest sen
sation that has turned up in their circle
for years. Alderman McMaster's office was
crowded to suffocation at o'clock yester-
day afternoon by Cinnamon who were in
terested, or pretended to be, in the suits of
Yee Chin against Yee Tang for surety of the
peace, and Ching Tang against Yee Tang
for false pretense. These suits are said to
have resulted from controversy over the
two raids made recently by the police on
Chinese gambling houses on Grant street.
but at the hearings there was no testimony
to show that they had any such connection.
Yee Tang is Southside laundryman, and
his place of business is at 800 Carson street.
He has the appearance of being educated,
dresses in the American style, and is prom
fnent as Christian leader among the Chi
nese. The case of surety of the peace
against him was heard first. Yee Chin, the
prosecutor, said while on the stand that
about two weeks ago Chin Wee told him
that he called on Yee Tang, when the latter
(Yee Tang) wanted to have assistance in
getting rid of some of Pittsburg's richest
Celestials, so they could get fortune to go
back to China. Yee Chin says he was told
tHab uo WIS 10 De ROCCen nTSG, anu L0aG
made him very uneasy. He was so worked
up over 1t that he has been victim of in
somnia ever since.
Chin Wee was placed on the stand next.
he said he called on Yee Tang three weeks
ago, when he proposed to him plan of get
ting rich fast. He said Yee Tang wanted
him to help kill Yee Chin so they could get
his money. Yee Tang wanted him to get
three or four of his friends, go to Yee Chin's
store on the pretense of wanting to buy
some goods, and while there watch their
chance and kill him.
Chin Wee says such a proposal frightened
him so that he concluded to tell Yee Chin,
and the result was the suit. Alderman Nc
Masters decided the case against the de-
1endant and held him for trial at court.
In the false pretense case Ching Tang the
prosecutor, was the first witness examined.
He said he was stranger in Pittsburg and
recently opened a store on Grant street and
shortly after that Yee Tang called on HIM
and demanded $5 which he said was to pay
for license giving him the privilege to
transact business. He at first refused to pay
the money, but on being told that all the
"other boys" were paying a like sum, he
thought 1t all right, paid the S5 and made an
entry in his book. On o across-examination
Tang produced his book, and through inter-
prefers it was shown that $5 had been paid
Yee Tang on August 10 last.
Two other witnesses, Yee Ting and Yee
Yon, were sworn and they also testified to
having paid Yee Tang sums of money which
they thought were for business. On this
testimony the case was left to Alderman
McMasters who held the defendant under
$500 bail for trial at court

A Heavy Fog Causes a Wreck.

Heavy fogs yesterday morning were re.
sponsible for delay in the railroad traffic
ana an accident on the Pemicky road. The
Bellevernon accommodation was wrecked
at o'clock by colliding with freight. The
train was pulling out OF Rankin station, and
in the fog the engineer failed to observe the
freight train ahead. The locomotives came
together with crash, the crews leaping and
receiving but slight injuries. The passen-
gers were badly shaken up. The train was
delayed about an hour. The Baltimore ex-
press was detained an hour and q half, as
was also the Cincinnati express. Traffic on
the other lines was also impeded by the fog.
