Trustees of the Western Theological Semi

( Chance for the Wealthy Residents Of
That Section to Secure the School. taI
A movement for the removal of the West
ern Theological Seminary seems to be gaining
force daily. The want Of room has al ways
been the drawback to the present location in
Allegheny. There is no space sufficiently
large to allow the students to indulge in
athletic sports, or take needed outdoor ex-
ercise. In the East End there is plenty of
room, and there would be no trouble in
having q fine campus, where oil the college
sports could be INDUCED in.
The East End Is the center of probably
the wealthiest Presbyterian community in
the country. II the. people Of that section
would raise fund Of 500, 900, buy five or
six acres Of ground In q good location and
erect suitable buildings, there 10 not

money that has 80 far prevented such o

the East End the surroundings are such as
would help the school in many respects.
The social aspect is also ono those who
favor the change are considering. They
contend that the people Of the East End are
exceedingly. hospitable and that the direc.
tors and trustees OF the seminary would have
matters made more attractive for them.
Again, there would be large aud apprecia-
tive audiences present at CONNIE nce ents,
such as that Of Thursday night or similar
occasions.

GLENFIELD IN A GLARE.

A Large Store and Several Dwellings
Burned Down Last Night-value Of
Property Destroyed Estimated at About
s4o,oOO-An Allegheny Engine There.
The residents of Glenfeld, 10 miles from
the city on the Fort Wayne road, were
afforded o pretty extensive, and at the
same time costly pyrotechnical display last
evening. At Z O'Clock fire broke out in the
workhouse in rear Of the two-story frame
dwelling occupied by John +. Graham,
day operator at the station, and his wife.
The house adjoined the extensive general
store Of T. Phillips & Bro, and with several
other dwellings formed a row of habitations
which faced the railroad. The entire block
occupied by these houses was destroyed,
causing damage variously estimated be-
tween $40, 900 and 50,000.
Mrs. Graham and her husband were
absent attending euchre party, and neither
can account for the origin of the fire. The
store contained miscellaneous goods valued
at $11, 900, which is covered BY insurance
for $4,000. It was three-story brick build
ing in front, standing on an area of 30
feet by 25, and had two-story brick annex
in the rear. The buildings were valued at
1000, and were Insured for 5000. The

HOW IT HAPPENED.
Mr.. Hartman's Explanation Of the Indict-
ment Against Him.

Mr.. Hartman's Explanation Of the Indict-
ment Against Him.
Speaking of the indictment found against
him yesterday, Henry Hartman said last
evening: about year ago we had our
former agent in New York City arrested for
embezzlement, and have several suits pend
ing against him now. In hopes OF getting
as to let up on him he brought an action
under the interstate commerce act. alleg-
ing under billing of goods. So little did
either Mr.. .Wylie or myself pay to it, that
neither of rs knew the case was up In court.
"a young man who was then in our en-
ploy as shipping clerk, billed few lots of
goods apparently under actual weight, but
wholly unknown to any officer of the COM
pany. as no sane man would intentionally
risk incurring the penalties of the act in
question for the sake Of a few dollars. the
whole claim being but few thousand
pounds. On Investigation, 1t seems
that the goods mentioned were formerly
Grated and certain deductions made
for Grating, whereas, after Grating
was abandoned, the "tare," through
negligence. was occasionally deducted by
the clerk 'manifesting' to that agency-
which was the only place that goods were
delivered. We have no concern whatever,
as to the outcome OF the matter"

FOOLED THE BEGGAR.

Detective Shore Turns a Trick on . Pro-
fessional Capper.
Detective Shore is not q safe man for beg
gars to tackle. Yesterday afternoon a
seedy-looking chap accosted him at Grant
and Diamond street. who wanted 81. The
stranger gave bis name as Harry Williams
and said be had spent all his money. He
had an interest, however, in raft lying
above the Sharpsburg bridge. which he
wanted to sell, and he would give his note
for the 50. Detective Shore said all right
for Williams to come to his Office and make
out the note.
They started for Central Station, but
when they had gone but short distance
Williams became suspicious and tried to
break away. He was lodged in the station
notwithstanding, and it was discovered
that he answered the description of a man
whom the police have been looking for
for several days.
A number of cases similar to the game
attempted on Detective Shore had been re-
ported, and il is thought that Williams is
the man. He was locked up for hearing.

Tho Weather Suddenly So Much Warmer
That Rain Is Predicted.
Overcoats were at discount yesterday.
There was q light frost in the lowlands, but
it did not harm, and now the agriculturists'
feelings are mixed. They would like to see
a six-hours' rain, but rather than take a
frost with, or after il, they will be content
TO do without moisture until the earth ac-
cumulates stock of heat to radiate. The
moon changed yesterday, and some of the
"lun atics" prophesied rain in consequence.
but as they had not seen it yet, they could
not predict with sny certainty. They could
not say whether it was q vet or q dry moon,
whether on its back so as to slop over. or
with points down and empty and few could
say with certainty whether it rose over Nc
Nairtowu or further South. If over Nc
Nairtown, the weather will be cold, II fur
ther South, warm.
The hootowls have been quiet lately.
The tree frogs sang at the timeo the last
shower but there wasn't water enough to
moisten their vocal organs and they gave
over. Clay soils are 90 baked that they can
not be plowed satisfactorily.
