At meeting of the Board of Directors of
the Federal Street and Pleasant Valley
Passenger Railway Company, held this 18th
day of September, A. D. 1891, the follow
ing resolution was passed:
Whereas, This board has learned with
the deepest regret of the death of William
McCreery, who organized the Federal Street

whose energy and ability the road became
one of the best street railways in Allegheny
county, and was the means of building up
that portion of Allegheny City known as
pheasant Valley" Throughout his whole
course as President of the road he won the
respect, the admiration and friendship, not
only of the stockholders, but of every one
with whom he came in contact, therefore
be it
Resolved, That we express the deepest
sorrow at his death, and tender to his be-
reaved family our sympathy and condo
lence.
Resolved, That this resolution be spread
upon the minutes of the company and pub
lished in the Pittsburg papers, and that a
copy be sent to his family.

mittee of the directors of the Allegheny
Heating Company yesterday, 1.-THE Office of
w. B. Rodgers, attorney for the company,
and the terms of an arrangement by which
the deficit in the Tressurer's accounts is to be
refunded were discussed. Attorney Cassidy
said yesterday afternoon that the affair was
now practically adjusted and that the direct
ors had expressed themselvee as being sat-
isfied with the proposition made by his
client. What this proposition was he re-
fused to state, but it was learned from an
other source that Shields had promised that
the full amount of the shortage would be
made good, and that if his assets would not
be sufficient his friends would come to the
rescue. Attorney W. B. Rodgers was seen
at his Office yesterday, but was non-commit-
tai as to the result of the meeting. He ad-
mitted that meeting had been held, but
would not say who had been present, or
what had been done. 1t was learned, how
ker and Brown and Mr.. Shields and his at
torney were present
Auditor Tidball has not yet finished
auditing the books, but it is admitted by
the directors that the shortage will not be
less than 100000 who state that if salts
factory arrangements are not made and the
| company secured from loss. criminal pro-
ceedings will be instituted.

CITIZENS WANT A NEW WARD.

Residents of Observatory Hill want 10 ona'o
Schools and Representation in Common
A Committee Appointed to Ask Coun-
ciIs to Make the Division.
A meeting of citizens of the Second,
Tenth and Twelfth wards, Allegheny, was
held last night in the Lithgow avenue
school house, Second ward. The object OF
the meeting was to take action toward haV-
ing new ward created out of the hill top
districts of the three wards. A large num-
ber were present A. Leggate presided and
j. M. Lyon acted as Secretary. When the
meeting had been called to order, Secretary
Lyon announced its purpose. He said
that the hill top districts formed
corner of the three wards
named and was practically isolated from
the balance of each of the wards. The
school house was the most convenient for
all of them, and if that territory was
formed into a new ward they could get the
school house and have everything more con-
venient. They could also have their repre-
sentation in Councils to secure them i'm
provements, though they had no complaint
to make against their present respective
representatives The children of the Tenth
and Twelfth wards are now long way
from their schools and should be nearer
though they were receiving courtesies from
the Second Ward School Board.
When Mr.. Lyon concluded a short dis
cussion ensued, all favorable to the sug-
gestions made by the speakers. Mr.. R. S.
Smith then moved that it was the sense OF
the meeting that they have new ward for
the hilltop districts of the Second, Tenth
and Twelfth wards. The motion was
unanimously adopted.
1t was followed by another by Mr.. Smith
that the chairman appoint committee of
three to look into the matter of making a
ward of the districts named and to consult
the City Solicitor and ascertain what is to
be done legally to accomplish their object
The committee is to report to future
meeting to be called by them.
This motion was adopted and Messrs. r.
S. Smith, E. j. Briggs and j. NJ. Lyon
were appointed on the committee.

George Alfred Townsend Visits Pittsburg.

Among the visitors registered at the Hotel
Duquesne yesterday was Mr.. George AL
fred Townsend, the well-known publicist,
whose daily contributions to the press of
the country have for 20 years past COM
manded more attention than those of any
other writer. Mr.. Townsend's personality
is as interesting as his work. From the
number of years he has been discussing and
describing men and things in his unrivaled
manner under the familiar nom de plume of
"Gath,' one might suppose him to be sill
ver-haired and in the "lean-and-slippered
pantaloon" stage. In place of that, he has
not yet reached even the youth of old age,
but is the picture of the robust health of
manhood in its prime. When Mr.. Town
send is about writing those unique and min
ute details concerning public men which
distinguish his letters, he travels right to
the place where the facts can be gotten at first
hand. 1t was trip of that sort to look
into early facts about Albert Gallatin which
brought him to Geneva, whence he eI-
tended the tour, with his stenographer, to
Pittsburg; and tomorrow he will go away
with bushels of pertinent points about this
place, to be used, we trust, with advantage
and interest to Pittsburg and to the outside
world in the future

Wolf Savage Held to Await the Result of
Mrs. Meyersburg's Injuries.

Mrs. Meyersburg's Injuries.
Wolf Savage, scrap iron peddler, was
lodged in the Central station yesterday.
He will probably be charged with murder.
Savage is a resident OF Magee street. On
last Wednesday he and Mrs. Rebecca
Meyersburg, of No. % Magee street, took
up a quarrel of their children. A child of
Mrs Meyersburg took slate from Savage s
child causing dispute. The parents took
a part in it, and Mrs. Meyersburg
finally slapped Savage in the face.
He retaliated by knocking her down.
In falling, it is said, her head struck the
tire of wagrn wheel, and she was knocked
'insensible. She was carried into her house
and physicians were summoned. She had a
large cash in her head, and her right
shoulder was fractured. She was in deli
cate condition, and they pronounced her in
iuries serious. She never fully recovered
consciousness, and has not spoken since her
injury.
The physicians say she can hardly live
until morning. Savage was arrested at the
time, but was released on $500 bail by Mag
istrate Gripp for a hearing yesterday.
When the serious condition of Mrs. Meyers
burg was learned he was rearrested and
locked up in Central station to await the re-
suit of her injuries. Mrs Meyersburg is
about IS years of age and the wife of Jacob
Meyersburg, peddler. She has three chill
dren.

A DoG-GoNE MEAN TRICK.
Lively Time of the Allegheny Detectives
After a Blooded Dog.

Lively Time of the Allegheny Detectives
After Blooded Dog.
Fred Gwinner, the well-known Allegheny
contractor, recently brought with him from
Europe beautiful dog of breed resembling
the st. Bernard. He was a monstrous,
good-natured fellow and faithful watch.
Mr. Gwinner valued him very highly, and
he had been greatly admired by
all who have seen him. Wednesday the
priced and petted canine disappeared
and a search was instituted for him. Mr..
Gwinner, whose family had become much
attached to the dog, placed the matter in
the hands of the police, and employed de-
tectives to hunt him up.
Last evening Mr.. Gwinner's son, who
had spent his entire time in hunt for his
lost friend, found a clew which lead to his
discovery. The dog was found in a cellar
in Woods Run, where he was being kept
out of sight. 1t was probably the inten-
tion to ship the valuable animal to another
city
