AFTER ONLY TWO YEARS

The Allegheny Police Arrest Man
Charged With Having Been Practicing
Fraud-A Flood Sufferers Benefit the
Latest Scheme to Raise Funds.
Chief of Police Murphy, OF Allegheny, has
been complained to constantly for the past
two years by politicians and other promi-
nent people of the actions of certain man
who bled them for various alleged benefit balls,
entertainments and other institutions depend
ent on the public for patronage for an exist
ence. The recent flood in Allegheny City af-
forded him another source of raising money by
fraudulent representations. week ago this
individual got out tickets tor an alleged ball at
'.Hartman's Hall, 702 Preble avenue, for the
benefit Of sufferers by the flood. to be held on
Tuesday March "a Tickets. 81"
On the ticket as a Committee of Arrange
ments were the names of Councimen Charles
Hartman, David Roderick, i. L. Graham and
NJ. Hannen, and Alderman Foley, L. X. Morris,
the druggist and other well-known people
AL of them repudiated their interest in the
affair, but the tickets were sold nevertheless
throughout the offices IN City Hall and else
where.
So many rumors of the affair being fraud
were afloat that Chief Murphy detailed Detec-
tive McDonough to investigate the matter he
first learned there was no hall at T02 Prehle
avenue as the last building on that street is
numbered 695. He then saw the gentlemen
whose names were on the tickets, and they
denied having any connection with the ball.
McDonough got trace of a man suspected of
being the perpetrator of the fraud, and going
to Penn avenue rolling mill. arrested Thomas
McGrath, 4 puddler. and charged him with 1t.
He made no denial, and was escorted TO Ale
gheny and locked up.
1t is said he collected some $50 for an alleged
social club in the Second ward recently, and
had, at the same time, been soliciting funds to
organize brass band. He will be given
hearing today.

COLLECTIONS IN KANSAS.

Law That Practically Permits a Man to
Get Rich by Not Paying His Debts-Ex-
periences of a Pittsburg Lawyer in the
Woolly West.
Lawyer Harvey Henderson got home yes
terday from Topeka, Kan, whittier he had
gone to collect debt. He took in the
granger Legislature, and, though it pre-
sented some features that Mr.. Henderson
does not indorse, yet he was better suited
with it than with the homestead law OF the
State, which allows a debtor 100 acres of land
and his homestead exempt from execution for
debt
Mr.. Henderson found his man and found him
in the quiet and pleasant enjoyment of palace
and grounds estimated to be worth $500 0OO and
yet nothing could be found on which TO make a
levy.
In the Legislature Mr.. Henderson found the
Chairman of the Judiciary Committee a smart
but rather lllitcrate, man who was in bad
humOr. He had been called on to report bill
giving debtor the right to waive feature in
mortgages, by which he would be in something
like the condition CT a man here who gives a
shirt tail note" The legislator said: Il gave
the clerk of the committee instructions TO
write report, and he sat down right there,
(pointing TO q certain seat) and begins work.
When l asked him later for it he said il was
lost. do Eot impnte any dishonesty to the
clerk but don't understand how the bill came
to be lost"
The Speaker of the House said: sl'll give
the clerk until tomorrow morning to produce
that bill. and if Ire doesn't do it will discharge
him forthwith"
Mr.. Henderson says that though the House
may be very radical it cannot do much mis-
chief, as the Senate is built very differently
from the House, the members being largely
conservative. He was impressed with the
House rs whole, and says it is full OF brains,
though some members have but little idea of
legislative work.

A NEW SCHOOL BOARD
Ushered in in Allegheny. Last Night, With

Driatiop Wanted,

Ushered in in Allegheny. Last Night, With
Fourteen Men Who Never Were There
Before-A Resolut ion Fixing the Appro
priation Wanted.
The Allegheny Board of School Contro
met and organized last night. Mr.. D. B.
Oliver was chosen Chairman pro tenn. Ir
the election James S. Young, ESQ.,, wa.
again chosen Chairman for the year, and
Richard B. Scandrett Secretary. There
are IA new members on the board: David
Alvers. John Wilhelm, ID. H Barker Thomas
E Clark, Adam Deitz, William G. Lee, G. E
Hemphill. J. A. Mclaughlin, P. II. Ittell, A.
A. Payton, John Miller, Scott NJ. Woods, Adam
Holm and Charles P. Long. The retiring
members were: r. V. Pitcairn, Albert Koenig
R. S. Smith. II. E. Ellington, Henry Albrecht
Hugh Kennedy. j. H. Dean, John II. Trimbe,
Peter Bolster, W. NJ. Byers. Ezra Creese. John
Kelly. John d. Cherry aud John Bollen.
On the election of teachers, the election of
A. II. Gilchrist as principal of the Seventh
ward school, vice Milton Jones, resigned, was
confirmed.
MIR. Minnemyer presented the report of the
Finance. Committee in reference to the tax
levy for school purposes for the ensuing year.
The estimated expenses submitted to the com.
mittee amounted to $40 l90. On the assessed
valuation of S5l. 1000 levy of 4 mills
would realize $4,000. Deducting l6 per cent for
the percentage allowed and for losses, etc,
would reduce this to STA ,276. Adding the State
appropriation of SS4, 600 and ST.. 900 for delin-
quent taxes would bring the amount to over
$40, 600 making mills of levy sufficient. In
consequence a resolution for a levy of mills
was offered which was adopted.
The report of Librarian Benney for TIE
month of February showed 4,526 books to have
been circulated and ll6new books purchased.
The report of the Legislative Committee
recommending the addressing of petition TO
the Legislature to pass the act providing for the
State paying the city school supernteudents'
salaries as they now do the county superin-
tendents, WAS approved.
Mr.. Oliver reported that the committee on
the division OF the school districts had met and
discussed the situation and had retained W. b.
Rodgers Esq, as attorney.
Superintendent Morrow submitted his report
for February 1t showed an enrolment of II.
2S9 pupils, with an average attendance of IL 3S4.
He asked that the hoard take some action in
regard TO regulating the time for the admission
Of new pupils into the first grade in order to
prevent the disarranging of the classification
of the pupils. President Young ruled that
under the law they had to admit a child of 6
years of age at any time his parents send him.
A resolution was adopted providing for the
amendment of the rules in order to enable the
school boards to make an equitable appOrtion-
ment of teachers in each of the departments TO
the several wards as a result of schedules of
salaries adopted at the previous meeting.

A CHANGE OF HEART.

Oil Men Opposed to Delamater Worked
Against the BurdIck Bill.
Colonel Willis j. Hulings, of Oil City. regis
tered at the Monongahela House last evening"
Speaking of the Burdick oil BILL he said the SEN
timent of the producers was against it. In look
ing over the kilograms at Harrisburg last week,
he stated that he was surprised to see pro-
ducers who blamed Delamater for killing the
Billingsley bill asking their representatives 10
vote against the Burdick measure. He couldn't
understand their change of heart.
II haven't seen Deamater," he said. since
the election, and 1 still believe that he is a
high-minded, honorable young man. Recently
he was offered $4,000 year by Western
company 10 work for them but he declined the
offer, with the statement that he could do more
for his creditors by staying at home and look
ing after the property. This only shows the
fiber of the man, and l feel sure he never
thought his business was in such bad shape. 1

the way South In search of Job"

In THEIR OWN HANDS.
Carpenters Left to Judge for Them
selves as to the Propriety of
STRIKING FOR EIGHT HOURS.
A Bitter Fight Crops Ont in the Corning
Glass Strike.
GaIsT OF A DAY FROM LABOR CIRCLES

The Carpenters District Council held a
| prolonged meeting at its headquarters last
| night. j. S. johnson presided. The coun-
Gil remained in session until midnight,
and when it did adjourn none of the dele
gates would divulge any of the proceedings.
The session was lively enough, however.
After disposing of the routine business. the
question of the time when the 800 of the
5000 carpenters in Allegheny county are to
make their eight-hour request of the master
builders came up for consideration. 1t was
the intention to fix this date and also to fix
time when the conference committee is to
meet the Builders Committee.
1t was not an easy matter to settle. There
are number of conservative men in the
District Council who have changed their
views very materially on the eight-hour
question since THE DISPATCH published
the fact that their forces were divided, and
those who are opposed to making the de-
mands are gaining ground very rapidly.
All In Their Own Hands
A. NJ. Swartz, the former agent of the
phia yesterday morning, was present and
conveyed to the council 4 statement from the
General Executive Board of the Brotherhood,
i'll which he said the local carpenters have the
matter in their own hands. The judgment of
the men is appealed tn. and they are cautioned
not TO make any move that they do not feel
fairly confident of winning.
w. H. Irwin, the walking delegate. was asked
as he left the room for some Information as to
what the carpenters propose to do, but he de-
cined to talk. Another delegate said There
is too much known now about our business.
We would not have had so much trouble if that
protest had not been printed" While the gen.
ueman would not say anything more, 1t was
very evident from his remarks that those who
arc opposed to the eiGht-hour movement arc
creating plenty of uneasiness to the balance of
the membership.
The questions that were to be settled at the
meeting last night were referred to the District
Council adjourned, for that purpose. and was in
session until nearly o'clock this morning.
Cause of Little Trip East.
A. NJ, Swartz related his experience in Phila-
delphia. He had gone down there to discover.
sumo the duties of an office to which he had
been elected. He was unable to secure any
explanation from Secretary Mcguire, except
that the Executive Board had reelected the
General Secretary to fill the office of Secretary
and Treasurer, rs heretofore.
MIR. Mcguire seemed to be rather surprised
at seeing Swartz, but gave him no reason for
the action of the board. Swartz satisfied him
self that he was justly entitled 10 the office,
but that he had been counted OUT" so to
speak, by the board. He Is indifferent about
the Office, and says now that he does not
care whether he gets it or not. but he likes to
see honesty prevail in the organization. The
Carpenters Council will probably have some
thing to say to the General Executive Board on
the subject before long.

An Item From the West.

Mr.. E. C. Hinkle, editor of the Beacon,
Wakefield, Ia, has this to say regarding
what we believe to be the best and most re-
liable medicine known for throat and lung
diseases:
"Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has done
a great good in this locality. l was myself
afflicted with lingering run of la grippe,
which was most seriously affecting my
lungs, but one so cent bottle of this remedy
broke it I'D completely and brought me out
all right"
Thousands of just such cases occurred dur
ing the epidemic of influenza or Ia grippe
last winter, and the prompt cures effected by
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy made that
medicine immensely popular. Its merits
were severely tested, but never found want
ing. 1t was everywhere admitted to be the
best. For sale BY druggists. wsu
