a WIDESPREAD SCHEME
To Dispose Of Clothing Stolen Recently at
St. Louis.


To Dispose Of Clothing Stolen Recently at
St. Louis.
Word was received from Toledo last night
that the detectives there have made an ar
rest which they say unearths gang OF rob
bers doing business all over the country.
Louis Hansen is the man and he is charged
with suspicion. For two days detectives
noticed him bntton-holing farmers who
come into market and patrons at the cheap
hotels His scheme was to talk about the
weather awhile and finally lead the farmer
to some secluded place and sell him $50
overcoat for $40. The detectives caught
him making % such sales before they found
out where his headquarters were. They
were in the back room of a cheap hotel. Six
huge trunks were filled with overcoats,
gloves and cutlery. The price and size tags
had been torn off. Express receipts in his
pockets showed that eight trunks had been
sent from St. Louis to Mexico, Mo, and
three from St. Louis to Pittsburg.
The detectives say that Hanson is one OF
gang whose headquarters are at St. Louis.
Large quantities of clothing have recently
been stolen there, and the police believe
agencies have been established all over the
country to dispose of the booty, as Hansen
was doing. Hansen will say but little more
than that he was acting as an agent. The
Pittsburg trunks were consigned to Andrew
Anderson, whom Hansen declares to be one
of the ST. Louis managers. He says there
are agents similar to himself at Columbus,
Wheeling, Youngstown, GAINESVILLE and
other cities. He will be held pending fur
ther Investigation,

AFTER LAW BREAKERS
Fourteen of Pittsburg's Sabbath Merchants
to Be Arrested.

Fourteen of Pittsburg's Sabbath Merchants
to Be Arrested.
The Law and Order Society has not gone
dicted when Captain Wishart left the town
Under the guidance of Detective Mcclure
it promises to continue the work of saving
the country. To-day, as faint indication
of the power of the law, information will be
made against IA business people, of various
stages of wealth, who will be charged with
having violated the laws of the Common
wealth, which prescribes the manner in
which the Sabbath day shall be observed.
Mr. McClure's detectives have the informa-
tion at hand which, they claim, will con-
vict the accused IA, and yesterday they pre-
pared the charges at Law and Order head
quarters. Owing to the large number OF
cases to be brought it was found impossible
to make the information before to-day.
Another move which the Law and Order
people are said to have in mind is a renewal
of the war against speak-easies. 1t was be,
lieved by many speak-easy proprietors that
the crusade would be commenced yesterday,
on account of it being election day. and a
harvest for illegal liquor dealers. As con-
sequence of the scare, many people went
dry, but it has proved to have been unnec-
essary. When asked yesterday what he was
doing, Mr.. McCline said:
"Nothing. The object of the Law and
Order Society is to prevent Sunday viola
tiOns. I am not supposed to run down
speak-easies during the week, and unless
employed by outside parties will not do so.
am running detective agency, with Law
and Order business as part of the work. /"

MRS WALKER Is CHASING HIM.

She Is Confident the Man Who Married
Marie Gosslin Is Her Husband.
An excited lady with a copy of THE DIS
PATCH under her arm walked into the ST.
James Hotel yesterday afternoon and said
to Frank Newell, the clerk, "Don't you
know me?" After looking at her face for a
moment Mr.. Newell recognized her as Mrs
Walker, the Mansfield widow, who had
been married and deserted by her husband
last October at the hotel. She had read
about the experience of Marie Gosslin at
Niagara Falls, and from the description of
the man she vas convinced that he was the
one to whom she had been married. Mr..
Newell thought he had registered as j. NJ.
Ingle, Ell Paso, but this is n mistake. His
name as it appears on the St.sJames regis
ter is Thomas Benton, Idaho MI. Ingle is
a well-known Texas ranchman, and the
blunder does him great injustice.
Mrs. Walker denounced Benton, or Tay-
lor, which is the last name he adopted, and
she had long talk with Detective Coulson
about the case. Mrs. Walker states that
three days after Benton married her, he was
welded to Miss Horner, of Beaver Falls.
Miss Horner is said to be the daughter of
wealthy parents, and when he found
he couldn't get money from her he
skipped out instanter. The widow is deter
mined to bring him to justice. The fellow
changes his name wherever he goes, and
proceeds at once to. make love to some
woman who has little money.

GBRWIG AND BROWN AT WAR.
Mayor Wyman Asks Permission to Remi
a Fifty Dollar Fine.

Mayor Wyman Asks Permission to Remit
a Fifty Dollar Fine.
Allegheny Finance Committee opened
last night with a scrap between Controller
Brown and Councilman Gerwig over some
of the money to be paid out. The report
showed there was still balance due the
appropriations of s1O3, 900, and this with
other debts to be met, would leave bal
ance of about $4,000 in the treasury on
January l. Mr.. Gerwig commented on
some of the moneys to be paid out,
and stated That he never knew
of them before. Controller Brown retorted
that they were in his monthly reports to
Councils Mr.. Gerwig grew angry and said
the Controller had no right to take excep-
tions to anything said by members of the
committee that were seeking for knowledge,
and the Controller replied that his report
was before the members every month, and
it was their fault if they did not see things.
Mr.. Gerwig created another sensation by
asking for resolution to remit $50 fine
imposed in drunk and disorderly case by
Mayor Wyman, who thought the man was
an old offender. Mr.. Gerwig said the Mayor,
in view of recent events, was afraid to re-
NIT the fine. Mr. Wertheimer decided
resolution would have to be presented in
Councils

ANOTHER HOPE DISPELLED.

Mayor Gourley Ref6ses to Act on the
S'raishtout City Committee-He Will
Take No Active Part in the Coming Mu-
nicipal Campaign.
Like mist in the morning Straightout
Republican hopes have been deserting the
earnest band. The latest idea dispelled is
that Mayor Gourley would consent to act
on the City Committee for the newborn
party during the coming municipal cam
paign. At the last meeting of the Straight
out County Committee Chairman Fleeson
was authorized to appoint city committees
in Pittsburg, Allegheny and McKees-
port. The slate is already made
up and includes Mr.. Gourley as
Chairman of the Pittsburg Committee.
1t was thought that his recent utterances
with regard to granting the city's chief
magistrate more power indicated that he
would cast his fortunes with the Straight
outs. but the reckoning was made without
the Mayor. His Honor is not afraid to give
an opinion, however, and Yesterday stated
that he would not take any active part in
political work.
"Will you support the Straightout move
ment ?" he was asked.
81 am not in politics" was the reply.
The other sad fate that has befallen the
Straightouts is the suits that have been en-
tered against them for clerk hire. Chair
man Fleeson came down from Tarentum
yesterday to consult with his brethren in
politics. ''Thosergi ought to be paid"
he said, 'and they will be as soon as we
get the money" When asked when that
very desirabl, article would walk
around to Straightout headquarters,
Mr. Fleeson replied that he didn't
know, but that meeting of
the County Committee would be held soon
to devise ways and means to cancel the
debts. James O'Hara Black, he stated, had
already received 500 for work that no per-
son had discovered he had done and he
didn't think it likely that further dona-
tion would be made. The Pittsburg Com
mittee, he stated, will be announced at the
County Committee meeting and prepara-
tions made for lively campaign.

WILL PUSH THE CASE.
The Suit of Bulford Against Postmaste
Gilleland to Come Up soon.

The Suit of Bulford Against Postmaster
Gilloland to Come Up soon.
The way of the Federal Office holder con-
tinues to be darkened with troubles. The
most recent difficulty presents itself to Post
master Gilleland, of Allegheny. It is the
suit for $40, 900 damages which was entered
some time ago by Simeon Bulford, Jr.. a
discharged letter carrier, who claims he was
maliciously slandered. 1t was supposed
that the suit had been dropped, but it is
now stated that it simply took vacation.
Bulford's Aciaim is that his place was
wanted by a Republican, and that Post
master Gillelan1 and Inspector Dickson
conspired together to effect removal. The
plan he alleges that was followed was to
drop an open letter in box where he made
collections and afterward discharge him on
suspicion. He brought suits against both
Mr.. Gilleland and Mr.. Dickson over three
months ago, and since then nothing has been
heard of them. 1t is now stated that the
Sheriff made mistake and that new writ
will have to be served on Mr.. Dickson.
This, it is promised, will be done in a few
days. The cases will come before the
Court of Common Pleas No. 3, and as there
is little business ahead, there will be little
delay. The Postoffice Department at Wash
ington is said to be involved and sensational
developments are developed.

sible time to reach the bank. Money re-
ceiyed by us after, the hour for closing the

modatlng the taxpayers Such receipts we

"Have you any idea as to whether Mr..
Warmcastle's alleged failure to make such

ate?"
II don't know anything about Mr. Warm

IT know nothing of Mr.. Warmcastle's
information on a construction of the law.
For myself, 1 knew of that rule and obeyed
it. %
A Strict Government Rule.
Ex-Postmaster Larkin said yesterday that
the rule requiring daily deposits of the re-
ceipts of the postofice was one of the
strictest of the department. Amy failure to
make daily deposits, he said, was BY the de-
partment considered embezzlement and was
treated as SUCH
"The affairs of this Government are con-
Quoted on strictly business principles,
I'Ai. Aoi NH odiu Lie rules governing the
various departments are prepared with care
and are made for the protection of the Gov
ernment and the people alike. An array of
cool, deliberate agents or inspectors are ap-
pointed to see that none of the rules meet
with violence at the hands of the Office
holder or his subordinates. These agents or
inspectors drop in upon you at the most
unexpected time. Their report to the
department is usually confidential and their
finding is generally final. 1t is the bus
mess of these inspectors to pick flaws, and
they are always looking for something
wrong. When they appear in an Office they
take entire charge of it. The safe and cash
boxes and the books are turned over to
them, and the officer is not allowed to add
to or take from the accounts until the in
spection is concluded. The affairs of the
office are stopped just where the in
spector enters and if the officer has the
money in his one hand he is not allowed to
put it in the cash boxes until after all the
accounts are examined, and the absence of
the money, even though it be in sight, is
reported as shortage, which means embez-
element
~ know nothing of the Warmcastle
troubles, but if it is true as reported, that
he neglected to make daily deposits, he will
have some trouble"

THE FLOUR SACK TRADE DULL.
The Manufacturers Meet, but no Changes II
Prices We're Made.

The Manufacturers Meet, but no Changes In
Prices We're Made.
The Flour Sack Manufacturers Associa.
tion met at the Monongahela House yester.
day. 1t is composed of 13 makers. who con-
troll the bulk of the trade in the United
States. Ex-Congresslnaa George w.
Grouse, of Akron, was present. After the
meeting Mr.. Grouse said the association
was nothing more than an agreement be-
tween the manufacturers to maintain prices.
He says they haven't good grip on the
trade, as any man could start a printing
shop and turn out paper sacks. The trade
is remarkably dull at present. The ten
dency of prices has been downward for the
last three years, and in that time they have
not been advanced. No changes were made
yesterday, but the condition of the market
was discussed.
Among those present were James Arkell,
father of w. j. Arkell, one of the owners
of Judge; Edward Godfrey, of Godfrey &
Clark; N. W. Taylor, Alfred and George
w. Adams, of Cleveland; A. B. Mudgett,
Middletown; A. X. Chatfeld and J. r.
Raymond, Cincinnati E. L. Embrel, New
York; James Monaghan, Westchester, and
G. c. Sherman, Watertown.
Mr. Grouse served in Congress with
Speaker Crisp. He says it was the best
thing for the country to have him elected,
but it would have been better for the Re-
publican party if Mills had been the man.
Mr. Grouse thinks that Sherman will be re-
elected in Ohio. In his section of the State
they are all for the Senator.

Board of Education.
PRINCIPALS TO GET s1,5OOA YEAR.
State Normal School Graduates Are Given
an Ugly Black Eye.
THE CHAIR OF SCIENCE Is A FAT ONE

Teachers salaries went up last night at
the meeting of the Central Board of Educa-
tion. On the schedule of increase to go
into effect September /, 1892, the first
matter attempted was increasing tine salaries
of principals in schools having to IA
teachers to 81, 500. There was only slight
opposition from Messrs. Phelps and Nc
Elroy, but the increase was given.
Mr.. Yeagel next moved that the schedule
for writing and drawing teachers be stricken
out, and they be paid the same as primary
teachers. His motion was lost by IA yeas
to Is nays The schedule recommended for
to three years, $500; over three years, $3.50.
On motion the schedule was added to by
making for over four years for writing and
drawing teachers, $500 per year.
The schedule for the ward schools was
then adopted as whole, Messrs. Philips
and McCandless voting against it.
Raised the Chair of Sciences.
Mr.. Phelps wanted to increase the salary
of the Chair of Sciences from 81 900 to
$1,000. Wainwright made plea for 81 400,
and Messrs. McCandless and Keller thought
one salary could not be raised without
bringing the others up. Dr. McCandless
said he had been instructed to vote against
any raises. The motion to increase to
81, 400 was adopted.
The teacher of drawing at the Normal
School was next increased from $500 to
5000. The balance of the salaries recon-
mended by the committee were approved
and the report adopted as a whole.
fho ufin dod
by the Committee on Teachers and Salaries,
that all teachers who are graduates of the
Pittsburg High School and Normol School
and State Normal School be credited with
one years experience.
Mr.. Phelps moved to strike out the State
Normal School clause and confne the
benefit to the graduates of the Pittsburg
High and Normal Schools. Messrs. Nc
Kain, Yeagel and Jones opposed the
resolution as an unjust discrimination.
State Normal Schools Barred.
Mr.. GRAY offered an amendment to pro-
vide that the resolution should not 90 into
effect until next September and apply only
to new teachers elected thereafter who were
graduates of the Pittsburg High and Nor
NAL schools and would not affect teachers
now employed.
The amendment was carried by 13 ayes to
12 nays, and the salary question was con-
cluded.
The report of the Committee on Finance
for the month of November showed the ex-
penditures to have been S41, ,74S 65.
City Superintendent Luckey's report for
November was received, showing an enroll
ment of 2S,569 pupils, with an average at

pal of the High School showed an enroll
ment of SS1, with an average attendance of
1884,

cess, so far, elimination by the individual
members. OF course they talk with each
other and agree on great number that are
not worthy of further consideration.
"When the commission meets for final
action, there will be but few designs that
will be discussed. There are is members of
the commission and, of course, no two will
have exactly the same opinions. Still /
think that selection will be made the lat
ter part of the month and after the design
is completed by the architect, we will invite
competition by the contractors"
