A HEARTLESS JOKE
Played on an East Liberty Man by Cou-
ple of His Friends

pie of His Friends.
A good joke on Louie Abel, who lives at
East Liberty, is going the rounds. 1t ap-
pears that his wife recently went to the
seashore for two weeks vacation, leaving
Louie at home to keep the house in order.
Louie found time hanging heavily on his
hands, and soon after her departure he in
vited three of his young men friends to
spend the evenings with him. They ac-
cepted, and the quartet whiled away the
hours playing quiet game of 'freeze-out. -
When the time came for Mrs Abel to re-
turn the three young men hatched plot
against Louie, and on the last evening of
their game they quietly placed hairpins, a
veil and few other articles of feminine ap-
parel in various places about the rooms.
These were, of course, the first articles
Mrs. Abel saw upon her return, and accus-
ing Louie of having been misbehaving in
her absence, she went to friends house.
avowing her intention of procuring di-
vorce Louie was in terrible state He
declared his innocence and was in despair
when the three young men, who had been
watching the game, called upon Mrs. Abel
and confessed their part of the transaction.
She then forgave Louie, but she still has
her suspicious that the excuse was made to
deceive her, and is keeping close eye upon
Louie's movements.

GOOD SPORTING TOWN.
A Bookmaker With a wad Gives This
City a Great Send-OE

City a Great Send-OE.
''This is great sporting town" said one
of the bookmakers at the Monongahela
House yesterday as he packed his grip to go
TO Detroit. "Here is where the boys have
money and they put it up freely. 1 have
often tried to figure out why it was. To
begin with, the people here don't have the
opportunity to speculate all the year
around as they do i'll other cities, and
when a chance is presented they make a
rush for it. The greatest reason, L
think, however, is that the city
is prosperous. There are many men
in Pittsburg who make big wages, and they
are7always looking around for some plan to
get rid of it. They don't enjoy MAY festi-
walls as well as they do horse races and
baseball. They back their choice for the
sport and feel good whether they win or
lose.
81 asked friend at Homewood Yesterday
how be came out? 'Oh, dropped fifty,'
was the careless reply, but the days sport
was worth that much, and he laughed good
naturedly. That man was a philosopher
and dead game. But then most Pittsburpars

FILLED WITH TRACKS.
The West End Street Railway Com
pany Goes Into Court to Ask an
INJUNCTION AGAINST THE P, A. &M.
The Divorce Mill Kept Busy Grinding Out
Its Usual Big Grist.
YESTERDAY IN THE COUNTY COURTS

Attorney Johns McCleave yesterday, In
behalf of the Pittsburg and West End Pas-
senger Railway Company. made motion
| in Common Pleas No. 2 for preliminary
| injunction to restrain the Pittsburg, Allie.
ghenY and Manchester Traction Company
from building a loop at the Pittsburg end
| of its line. In the bill filed against the
Pittsburg, Allegheny and Manchester
Traction Company it is stated that the
terminus of the line is on the south side of
Liberty avenue, between Fifth avenue and
Market street. They are about to construct
loop for this end of the line, and will run
their tracks along Liberty street, from Sixth
street to Fifth street, down Fifth street to
Duquesne way, and along Duquesne way to
Sixth street, and connect with the main
line. They have no authority, it is asserted,
to lay these tracks, and the right of way on
Fifth street is held by the plaintiff, the
Pittsburg and West End Passenger Railway
Company. 1t will also be impracticable to
operate both lines on Fifth street, between
Liberty and Penn avenue. The West End
line hopes to soon be converted into an cleo
trio railway, and its cars and those of the
Pittsburg, Allegheny and Manchester Com
pany would be so numerous as to cause
blockades, make travel dangerous, and in
jure property on the street, by preventing
the loading and unloading of wagons.
The West End line alone would be dam
aged to the extent of $1,000 year. There
was no necessity to have the loop, anyhow,
as the road could be operated as are the
Birmingham, Pleasant Valley and Second
avenue lines, without loop. The Court
was asked to grant an injunction restraining
the defendants from constructing its tracks
ON Liberty street and Fifth street.
The motion for an injunction was opposed
by H. M. Neeper. He stated that the lay
ing of the Pittsburg, Allegheny and Man
chester tracks on Fifth street was not i'm
ade: The rails would be laid close to those
OF the West End line, and the two sets of
tracks would not take up any more
room than one set. As to it
being impracticable, there would not be as
many cars as are now running without
troub BILE on Second avenue, Fourth avenue,
Sixth avenue and other streets. Before the
bill was filed there were negotiations pend
ing between the Pittsburg, Allegheny and
Manchester and West End lines for the use
of the latter's track on Fifth street The
practicability of the two lines operating on
the same street was admitted then, but
the West End Company wanted 5000
year rental, which was considered exor-
bitant and the Manchester line refused to
pay it. The loop was deemed necessary for
the proper operation of the Pittsburg, ALLIE
gheny and Manchester line and the Court
was asked to refuse the motion for an in
junction.
Judge Ewing reserved his decision.

"What do you suppose that is growing on

Mr.. Frank Iams the other afternoon as he

A TERRIBLE REVENGE.
Obtained by Two Young Ladies on Couple
of Fond Lovers.

Obtained by Two Young Ladies on q Couple
of Fond Lovers.
The summer girl is supposed to be a
sweet, confding sort of creature, entirely
devoid of malice. But one young man in
trio of summer girls will engender enough
malice to render. his life and that of one of
the girls perfectly miserable, unless he is
very skillful. At least, such was the case
with a quartet who arrived in Pittsburg
on the fast line the other evening. The
had been up to the mountains for couple
of weeks, and, as is natural, the young
gentleman in that time had discovered an
affinity in one of the feminine trio, and had
not hesitated to show it. When they
boarded the train the Apollo-tor such, in
deed, he was = identified himself promi-
nently with the comfort of the one young
lady, to the neglect of the other two, so
they thought, and they Immediately took
their revenge by conversing loud enough
for those in the adjoining seats to hear
about the lovely wedding presents the
young couple in front received. The silver
service by Aunt Mary, the punch bowl by
Cousin Hattie, the china dinner set by
uncle, and the generous check by the
brides father, were, with other details
about the wedding, discussed at length,
while the young folks ahead, unconscious
of the whole, were all attention to each
other
Finally they began to notice queer glances
cast in their direction from the other pas
sengers, and in time the train employes
seemed to be especially interested in them.
Slowly but gradually the truth dawned
upon them, inasmuch as they realized that
they were being taken for bride and
groom. 1t was exceedingly embarrassing
to both, and the more they tried to be cir
cumspect and regain their wanted COM
posure the more amusing it was to the
passengers. The young lady's face was the
trifie ruddier, if possible, and they both
spent most uncomfortable time until this
city was reached. Some way it leaked out
that the two girls had been instrumental in
the affair, and now all communication has
ceased between the opposing parties.

FOND OF MINERAL WATERS,

One of the Peculiar Tastes of Pittsburgers
During the Warm Weather.
'Mineral waters table waters, ginger ale
and raspberry vinegar comprise our sales,
principally, this weather." said the pro-
prietor of fashionable grocery yesterday
afternoon. ''Potted meats,'' he continued,
Canned fish, pickles, sugar, tea and coffee
come as secondary considerations. Nothing
heavier than that list has a show.
at is perfectly wonderful what an affec-
tion the average Pittsburger man, woman
or child, has for mineral waters. The first
of June the sale was enormous; it has fallen
off somewhat since then, because so many
people are out OF the city. Colorado Springs
water is the favorite; it is called champagne
ginger"
