GOOD PROSPECTS FOR FRUIT.

No Fears at Present of Frost Blighting the
Billions of Buds-The Country Never
Prettier Than 1t Is Just Now
The average denizen of the city does not
know how beautiful two weeks Of sunshine
have made the country. 1t is God-made
and the finest avenues in the city possess
no attractions that at all compare with
it. The woods are decorated with hepat-
lea, trillium, spring-beauties, adder-tongue
lillies and June or service-berry
in full bloom, and the pear. cherry and peach
bloom redeem the unsightly waste which it
seems to be the aim of the average farmer to
make.
The grass is growing so that its progress can
be noticed from day Co day and the smell of all,
combined with the song of birds, contribute to
render simple existence pleasure.
The nights are still somewhat frigid but are
conducive of perfect resJ and next week the
apple trees will exude their fragrance. The
present prospect for a fruit crop is great be-
yond the most sanguine expectation. Frost
may blight present hopes, but it Is not antici-
pated. ,.+.
The only thing that annoys farmers in this
section is the utter impossibility of hiring in
telligent assistance. While there are reports
of priyation for want of work in the city,
farmers cannot get acceptable help at
SIS month, wet and dry, board and
washing added, on account of the vast number
of men the oil industry employs at higher rates
of pay. Help can be had, but it is unreliable,
and the farmer hesltates when Hun or an
Italian offers his services. as he (the
farmer), taught by experience, is fearful
lest he entertain an angel a fallen one, una
wares. The criminal class may be of use to
contractor or coal or railway company, with
police protection handy, but the farmer hesi-
tates at the possibility that he may be taking
into his family murderer, and tries to do his
own work.

STREET BILLS CERTAIN.

Chief Bigelow Thinks They Will Be Signed
by the Governor This Week-Booth &
Finn Get Four Hundred Men Started on
Unfinished Work.
Chief Bigelow will leave for Harrisburg
early this morning to be present at the Leg
isIature when Fittsburg's new street bills
come up for final passage. 81 am almost
certain the bills will pass" he said yesterday,
land as they are entirely constitutional it is
very probable the Governor will sign them be-
fore the end of the week."
The Chiefs assurance is shared by city Off
cials generally, and everything is ready for fin
ishing up the uncompleted work.
Booth Finn have now almost 400 men at
work, and by this time next week expect to
have double that number. A force of men was
started on Center avenue yesterday and anoth-
er will begin on Aiken avenue to-day.
Center avenue has been paved with asphalt
from Highland to Morewood avenues, and the
contract calls for asphalt pavement to Craig
street. That part will be finished within a week
or ten DAYS. From Craig street to Soho street
it is to be paved with block stone but as
there is a scarcity of blocks the work will be
slow and it will require about three months to
complete the contract.
Aiken avenue has been paved with asphalt
from Fifth avenue to Howe street and the con-
tract is for all asphalt pavement to Center ave-
nue., but as the Duquesne Traction Line runs
along this street 1t will not require much time
to pave between the curb and the car tracks
Work on the unfinished branches of the Du-
Quesne road is not being pushed as rapidly as
last fall. The only men at work are about a
hundred on Howe street, divided into two
gangs. one at each extremity They are ballast
ing and paving, and it will take them about
two weeks to finish unless the force is In
creased. Walnut street will be commenced
next week.

LOOKS LIKE MURDER.
Important Evidence Given at the Inquest

Found Dead in the River With Coil of


Important Evidence Given at the Inquest
Found Dead in the River With Coil of
Rope Around Him.
At the inquest into the death Of Alexan-
der c. Mayberry, whose body was found in
the Mononaghela on Tuesday, held yester-
day by Coroner Mcdowell, the testimony
went to show that there was strong presump-
tive evidence Of the deceased having met his
death by violence. The statement made by
Victor Kaufman, who was present when the
body WIS found, that the manner in which 1t
was bound by ropes suggested that the de-
ceased did not so tie himself, was corroborated
by three other witnesses
Charles Chambers helped to haul the body
from the water. He swore that 1t was so
tightly bound with rope that the grip he OBJ
tanned cn it with pole held good and enabled
him to drag the body ashore. Thomas blatley
assisted in the task. He swore that the body
was a mass of rope and was tied around with
it. Daniel Ferguson swore that the body and
hands we're tied with ropes. Victor Kaufman
testified to finding the body. When it was
drawn ashore it was found to be wound around
three or four times with rope.
DIR. ]. Guy McCandless, who made the post
norton examination. testified that there were
no external marks of injury on the body ex-
cept a slight bruIse over the right eye. There
was rope wound around ii, and loosely tied
around right wrist. He gave it as his opinion
that death was caused by asphyxia by drown
ing On examination DR.. McCandless testified
that the rope was not tied tightly and there
were no signs on the body of its having been so
tied.
Mrs. A. c. Mayberry the widow of the de-
ceased. said that her husband had arisen on
Sunday March s, before she had got up, and
had lett the house. She had not seen or heard
of him since until she saw his body at the
morgue. He had been injured on January l5 of
last year, and had been sick and demented
ever since.
Tho inquest was continued until Saturday to
give Inspector Whitehouse an opportunity OF
inquiring into the matter
Tne remains of the deceased were inferred
yesterday afternoon in HonewOod Cemetery.

A CLASSIFICATION PROBLEM.

The Minimum Weight OF Big Cars May Be
Adyanced-Mr. Cole Looks for Good
Traffic This Summer and Next Fall
Plenty of Empty Cars.
Assistant General Freight Agent Charles
L. Cole, of the Pennsylvania Company.
went to New York last evening to attend a
classification meeting. The subject is big
cars, and an effort will be made to advance the
minimum weight. Mr.. Cole said the standard
length for cars all over the country was from
33 teet to "a. but lately the Western roads have
what they call jumbo cars, which re-
quire a great bulk to fill them.
The minimum weight allowed for them
glassware and some articles the minimum is
5000 pounds, and for other shipments it varies
between these two limits. The problem of
classification IS always difficult, and Mr.. Cole
To increase the minimum means an advance in
rates for the shipper, Or he must add to his
shipment to get the required rate.
The Pennsylvania Company has none Of the
large cars. but frequently shipper applies for
one and the road must borrow it from West
ern line. 1t comes from Chicago empty and
earns freight one way while the company has
lots OF ears lying on side tracks. II is this fea-
ture that makes the Eastern lines weary, and
the classification may be changed.
Mr.. Cole says the local traffic on the Ft.
Wayne road is excellent. He said it had been
fostered for years. and during times of depres-
sion, the line is always able to make a good
showing There are plenty of empty gondola
and fiat cars, but when navigation opens May /,
Re expects to see these carsfn use. He is much
encouraged with the prospects and firmly be-
lieves that the business this summer and next
fall will be good. Concerning the coke rate to
the valleys, Mr.. Cole said 1t was made when the
product was selling for 81 Is per ton, and the
pig iron men overlook this fact He regrets
now that the rate was not advanced as coke
went up, so that 1t could be reduced when 1t
came down. He thinks the miners will soon
return to work,

FIRED FOUR MORE COPS.

Superintendent Muth Again Uses. the knife
in the Allegheny Police Force-Lieuten-
ant Alexander Is a victim-Oficers Must
Hereafter Report All the Speak-Easies.
Superintendent Of Police Muth, of Allie
gheny, again opened up on the force last
night and suspended Lieutenant and dis
charged three men. They were all daylight
men. and when they reported of duty last
night the Superintendent addressed them in
the following style:
II am not yet satisfied with the way you men
continue to report off duty here without re-
porting the misconduct that happens on your
beats, and that is daily being complained of
by the citizens in various parts of the city. The
principal cause of complaint relates to the dep
relations of boys on the streets who break
windows by throwing stones and playing ball.
and who break down trees and do other petty
damage. You must understand that you can
not allow anything of the kind. and any mis-
conduct of a boy must be followed by arrest,
lust as much as if it had been committed by
man. Another thing | notice is the fact that
You apparently are not very desirous OF report
ing speak-easiea. l know there are a number
in the city, and If you are lot aware of their
existence you ought to be. 1t seems to me you
are derelict in your,duty and, believing this to
be the case, will suspend Lieutenant AleXan-
der until further notice, and discharge Officer
JOnn LyDcD.
When asked later for the specific charge
against Lieutenant Alexander, the Superin-
tendent said: He was loafng in speak-easy-
/ discharged Officer Lynch for drinking. I also
discharged Charles femme and William Smith
to-day. The first was also too prone TO take his
beer. Smith is the man 1 suspended a few days
ago for arresting two boys and having no
charge to put against them. / don't want to be
hard on the force, but they know that right Is
right just as well as do, and they have got to
do what is expected of policeman"
This makes % policemen that have been
either suspended or summarily dismissed since
Superintendent Muth went into office Two
weeks ago. and he declares his intention of
having force second to none in the country if
discipline can make it so.
The Superintendent has been collecting list
of speak-easies and houses where liquor is sold
Illegally since he has assumed control, and Is
gradually working on sufficient evidence to
convict them all His list is now quite formid-
able, and. prosecutions may be expected in a
number OF cases within the next few days. He
caused the arrest of Mrs Mary HALEY, of
River avenue, yesterday, for selling without a
licence, on information received. She was
locked up over night, and will be given hear
ing to-day.

ONLY A WEEK HENCE.
Time Fixed for the Great Eight Hour
Struggle of Carpenters.
THE SITUATION GROWS SERIOUS
q. F. Dempsey Assumes the Duties Of His
New Office To-Day.
MISCELLANEOUS INDUSTRIAL ITEMS

After drawing 5000 carpenters in the
country into high fever of excitement. and
the public into state Of uncertainty over
their threats to strike at once for the adop-
tion of the eight-hour system, the Carpen-
ters' Council quietly notified the stone
masons last night that work will continue
as usual on all buildings where there are no
lockouts, unit \ May 1. As stated in yes
terday's DISPATCH, if the spirit of last
Saturdays resolution had been followed,
the building trades would now be idle.
But yesterday 's developments showed that
two errors had been committed. First the
Building Trades Council overstepped its
authority In undertaking to bind the several
trades to a certain line of policy. Second,
the stonemasons acted hastily in forcing the
lockout upon themselves. The case was laid
nication sent them by w. S. Newcomer, Secre-
tary of the Carpenters Council.
The stonemasors discussed the situation un-
til after IL o'clock and then decided to do as
the carpenters did-allow matters to rest until
May l, when the forces will be centered on the
one issue. and the battle OF muscle against
capital will commence. The correct action of
the Carpenters Council was that there should
be no strike now. On the Providence Mission
Church in Allegheny, however, and all
other buildings where the workmen of any
craft are locked out, the carpenters will refuse
to work.
The members of the Builders Exchange
were jubilant all day. One of them lntimated
that the coming strike would be of snort dura-
tion owing to divided forces and the fact that
the men will be left on May TO fight their own
battle. There is no sign of a conference to ad-
Just the stonemasons' difficulty. and until it is
settled the lockout will continue.
1t is said now that the master builders would
have granted the advance in wages If any ef-
fort had been made to bring about confer
ence. But the men claim it was not their turn
to invite conference, and consequently none
has beer held. There was a great deal of ex-
citemenI over the affair yesterday, and the Sit
uarion is growing still more serious. The ac-
tion of the Planning Mill Proprietors' Associa-
tion in imposing penalty of 5000 on all who vio-
late their agreement will prove very effective,
and they say there will be no advantage gained
by endeavoring to organize cooperative con-
cerns The move was made in order to prevent
the journeymen from contracting.
One or two unions of the carpenters met also
last night They talked over the situation and
ratified the action of the Carpenters Council
of the evening previous. The planiDg mill
owners will hold another meeting shortly for
the purpose of granting the demands or retus-
ing them.
There is slight trouble at the residence of
H. w. Oliver. on Ridge avenue. in Allegheny,
over the employment of laborers to carry NOR
tar, instead of union hodcarriers. 1t is ex-
pected to be settled to-day.
