FISHING AND FUN.
The Mark Twain Club Having a Jolly Time
at Massassauga Point.

The Mark Twain Club Having a Jolly Time
at Massassauga Point
The encampment of the Mark Twain Rod
and Gun Club at Massassauga Point this
year is the most successful and enjoyable
the club has ever held. Instead of breaking
camp, as usual, in ten days, it has been de-
cided to prolong the outing for another week
or two. The camp is delightfully."- situated,
on the Treacy farm, three miles from Erie
City, $50 yards from the electric cars and
screened from the lake, near at hand, by
stock farm of Hon. w. L. Scott adjoins the
camp and forms an interesting feature of
the many attractions of the place.
The campers are having delightful time
and have hundreds of visitors daily from
Erie and the surrounding neighborhood.
No Pittsburger visiting Erie fails to visit
and partake of the hospitalities extended by
the Mark Twain boys. Many ladies' are
numbered among the visitors.
- Their table is daily supplied with fine fish,
caught fresh from the lake by members of
the club. Hon. James Richards, captain of
the camping party, and Leslie Doyle, of AL
legheny, have thus far been the most sue
cessful fishermen, having succeeded in keep
ing the larder well supplied with turtles and
black bass of the finest qualify Messrs.
David Stewart and Thomas Brady on Mon
day landed an enormous catfish, the like of
which old residents say has not been cap
tured about Erie in many years.
Sheriff McCleary, Magistrate. Grfpp and
are expected to be in attendance on Friday
and remain until the breakup, which, Cap
tain Richards said yesterday, will probably
occur about next w ednesday OF Thursday.

BEAUTIES OF ALLEGHENY COUNTY.
Views From Highland Grove, McKees-
ports Picturesque Suburb.

Views From Highland Grove, McKees-
ports Picturesque Suburb.
A few days ago gentleman left in our
office window a Photographic view of the
Monongahela Valley, between McKeesport
and Braddocks Field, taken from the summit
of Highland Grove, and many who passed
by stood still to admire the beautiful pam
Drama which the artist has reproduced with
the camera. One young lady exclaimed:
"Oh! would it not be lovely to see that view
in reality; wonder how long one must travel
to get there?' "Only about so minutes"
replied one of the bystanders. One of our
landscape artists looked at it for awhile,
made some inquiry in regard to exact loca-
tion, wondered why he had not seen the
place before and then quickly expressed his
determination, that he would go and
reproduce that picture in oil coIors; and,
indeed, many of Pittsburg's residents
may have travelled hundreds of miles to see
sights but not likely did they find place
where so much natural beauty was COM
bined with evidence of energetic industry
and enterprise. The landscape shows a
large expanse of water. the Monongahela
making here wide sweep like horseshoe
curve, so that the opposite shore appears as
large island In beautiful lake-you see
thrifty villages, forests, farms, orchards
and meadows intermingled with immense
industrial establishments, the view resem-
bles somewhat the one seen from the Statue
of Liberty in the New York harbor onto
Staten Island. To the left you see the city
of McKeesport spread over several beauti-
full hills with its huge industries lining the
right bank of the river-two bridges, one
highway bridge and the other a railroad
bridge, facilitate communication and COM
msrce with the opposite shore, on which
are located the Howard Plate Glass Works,
the Allegheny Bessemer Works, the Du-
quesne Tube Works and the villages
of Duquesne and Germantown. The trunk
line railroads extend their branches
up this valley-to the right you see the
villages of Salisbury and Port Perry and the
borough of Braddocks Field, with the i'm
mense Edgar Thomson Steel Works, and
beyond that the industrial establishments at
Rankin, Heating and Homestead
The point from which you can see all this
is located in beautiful grove where mag
nifcent forest trees give delicious shades in
summer, and villas fronting public square
are heated with natural gas in winter; it is
supplied with water from the city and can
be reached on an easy grade BY a paved
street from the city of McKeesport, or by a
short footpath from Demmler Station.
If you are fond of pleasant country
home with city conveniences and amidst
life and prosperity, here is the place and
now is the time to select some of the fine
building lots which the Highland Land
Company Linn. has for sale in this locality.

HAD A NARROW ESCAPE.
Passengers on the Pacific Badly Frightened
by a Wreck of the Limited.

Passengers on the Pacific Badly Frightened
by Wreck of the Limited.
Pacific express, west on the Pennsylvania
line, was three hours late in arriving at the
Union station yesterday afternoon. The de-
lay was caused by collision of the New
York and Chicago limited, east. Shortly after
o'clock in the morning the express was
stopped west OF Wilmore, and was waiting
for the block to be clear to proceed. Pas
sengers noticed a heavy freight engine
standing on the east-bound track
Suddenly the engineer was seen to leap
into his seat with a bound and pull the
throttle wide open. The great engine
started with bound, but had scarcely got
ten under way when the limited came rush
ing around a curve. 1t was running with
two engines at high speed. The fireman
and engineer of the front engine jumped
just before the crash came. Their engine
collided with terrible force against the
freight engine.
Both reared as they came together and
then fell across the tracks within a few feet
of the Pacific express. Passengers in both
trains were panic-stricken and rushed
for the doors. But it was soon found that
nobody was injured. The two engines were
badly damaged, and it was several hours be-
fore the wreckage could be cleared away so
that the trains could proceed.

SOMEBODY TO BLAME
For the Condition of Allegheny's
Fire Alarm System, but
THE NET SLIPS OFF CHIEF JONES.
Excessively Hot Weather Causes Many
Deaths in q Week.
NOTEWORTHY EVENTS IN THE CITIES

A special meeting of the Allegheny Coun-
cilmanic Committee on Public Safety was
called last evening by Chairman Drum to
investigate the affairs in the fire depart
ment. The committee convened promptly
at o'clock, and from the number present
and the interest taken by the spectators a
lively time was looked for. The meeting,
however, lasted but a short time, and every
thing passed off barmoniously.
Chairman Drum said that the day before
a member of Councils, who is also a men,
ber of the Board of Underwriters, had called
on him and informed him that the fire alarm
was in bad condition, the upper end of the
town was cut off, and there was no one here
to remedy the matter. The Fire Marshal
was brought over and man from Pittsburg
obtained to fix things The man who had
come over with the Fire Marshal was pres
ent, and he wanted the committee to hear
him. He had asked the Fire Marshal to
come, but he was detained by illness. He
thought the committee should know all
about the affair.
At this junction several members moved
to refer the matter to the Committee on Fire.
MIR. Drum continued that he would say in
justice to Chief Jones that the Board of
Underwriters had held no meeting, and if
they did they were not after any ones scalp,
but were only looking after the best inter-
ests of the property holders. The statement
published in an afternoon paper was unjust
to both the Board of Underwriters and the
gentleman mentioned. The entire state
ment, he believed, was inspired by gentle
man in the employ of the city. The matter,
however, should not be whitewashed, but
fully investigated and the person at fault
severely dealt with, no matter who he was.
The question .Ias called on the motion to
refer to the Committee on Fire and it was
adopted without a dissenting voice. The
meeting then adjourned.
After the committee had adjourned Clerk
Dilworth called Mr.. Drums attention to the
ordinance creating the Bureau of Electric
ity, which made it a distinct and separate
department from the Bureau of Fire, of
which Chief Jones is the head, and he is
therefore not responsible for anything that
goes wrong in the electrical department.
