DEFENDS HIS BILL.

Senator Finn Claims to Make q Market
Place Out of the Wharfs Would not Inter-
fere With River Business-The Ale
gheny Frontage Wanted.
Senator Finn went to New York last
evening. Since Senator Dunlap made his
famous speech against the bill to convert
the local wharfs into market places, he real
izes the strength of the opposition, and is
doing all in his power to stem the tide. II
have talked with a number of river men about
the object of the BILL" lie said, "but all they
will speak of when river matters are touched is
the glories of these streams 20 years
ago. The trouble is they want
to keep everything themselves. The wharf is
fully half mile long, and it would not inter-
fere with their business to give up a part of it
for market wagons. This is all that is asked
and the wagons would not be SO placed as to
blockade the passage to boats.
The wharfs are lying idle, and why shouldn't
the city realize some revenues from them? The
rivermen will listen to nothing. / have asked
them to look over the ground with Chief Bge-
low, but they wouldn't do it. They want every
thing pertaining to the river. Instead of look
ing for snake in the bill, why don't they do
do something. If the wagons interrupt river
traffic, the remedy would be with Councils, and
the rivermen could easily have it stopped"
Senator Neeb said there was no cause for
alarm. The city, he claimed. had no desire to
for the use of the Allegheny frontage, which,
he added, was not needed by the rlvermen.
Others claim that If the canal to Erie. is built
that then wharfage on the two rivers will be
required for boat landings. Once the city had
secured the frontage it would be 10th to give it
up and the rivermen feel that to avoid trouble
in the future it were better to leave the wharf
alone.

STILL IN POLITICS.
Quiet Burglars Tarry Long Enough
to Prove Their Partisanship.
FIRING QUIDS AT MR.. CLEVELAND.
Two Men Charged With Carrying OH an
Entire Barber Shop.
OTHER CRIMES REPORTED on SUNDAY

"The Republican orators who, in the
heat of a campaign, have so far forgotten
themselves as to associate Democracy with
horse-stealing are now confronted with the
fact that burglary has been committed by
men who, by their tracks, show they belong
to the Republican faith" Thus said In
spector McAleese after hearing the report of
4 robbery committed at the residence of j.
E. johnson, at No. 257 Locust street.
Early yesterday morning Mr.. johnson
heard noise in the house. He was tired
and sleepy, and attributed the sound to
wagon passing by or the frantic endeavor of
the natural gas meter to gain name in his
tory along side of Ananias. The thought
of burglars never entered his head. He
was firm believer in the prescience of the
First District police, and alter muttering
something about seat" turned his face to
the wall and resumed his slumbers.
About o'clock Mr.. johnson decided to
get up. The first article of apparel he
reached for was his pants, which he left
hanging on the corner Of the bedstead. The
pants were not there, and careful search
failed to reveal them in the room. At first Mr..
Johnson suspected that the spirit of dress re.
form might have broken out in his household.
but dismissing that thought as unworthy, he
FASTENED downstairs. He found the pants
lying in the hall, but $500 which he had left in
the pocket the night before was gone. When
MIR. johnson returned to his bedroom his wife
was bunting her gold watch. Mr. Johnson's
watch and chain was lying undsturbed upon
the bureau.
1t was evident that thieves had been at work.
and Mr.. johnson and his wife went through the
house to see what else had been taken. In the
dining room traces of feast were found. The
thieves had set out nice little lunch. which
they had washed down with whisky, The rem
nants of the lunch and empty whisky bottle
were left on the table.
The burglars had been in the parlor. Over
the mantel hung portraits Of ex-President
Cleveland and Secretary Blaine. The vaDdals
bad expressed their dsapproval of the great
Democrat by plastering guilds of tobacco all
over the picture but under Mr.. Blaine's por-
trait they had inscribed upon the wall the
slogan of the several Presidential campaigns,
He's all right" MIR. johnson mourns the loss
of his money, his wife deplores the absence of

men who disfigured their parlor wall.

Chicago to start in business for himself.

CUPID KNOWS NO LAW,

A Provision of the License Act That Is
Daily Disregarded-Permitst to Marry Not
Always Granted in the County Where
the Parties Are Tied.
1t would appear that Cupid cares little
for law or conventional restrictions, and it
seems that many OF the priests who minister
at His altars in this State pay very little at
tention to the law regulating marriages and
how they shall be performed.
Though the law is some five years old or
more it appears that its first provision is vio-
lated daily and with sang froid which would
argue that most tyers of the nuptial knot have
never read it The first section of the law
reads:
-'No person within this Common wealth shall
be joined in marriage until license shall have
betn obtained for that purpose from the Clerk
of the Orphans Court in the county where the
marriage is performed,
1t is a quite common practice for q license to
be obtained in one county and the rite per-
formed in another. Probably scarce day
passes that this is not the case. The Irregu-
larity does not invalidate the marriage, but q
lawyer suggests that possibly ministers of the
gospel ard justices of the peace run some risk
in thus violating the law; that SO far as the
cerned the license in these cases might as well
be taken out in another state.
Newton Petrie states that as rule the certi-
ication takes place, and he supposes the
irregularity will not work much harm, but as
there is no certainty that a marriage ceremony
performed in one county will be certified TO
in another the parties taking the risk run some
danger of trouble in future-or their de-
scendants will, when it becomes necessary to
establish marriage.
The causes of the irregularity are various.
Sometimes people do not want their marriage
made public, and so get license In county
other from the one in which they wed. Again
it is often much more convenient to get the
license in an adjoining county than in the one
all the counties surrounding this it is easier to
get to Pittsburg than TO Greensburg, Little
Washington, Beaver OF Butler.
There is an impression abroad, however,
that If people care for the peace of mind of
their descendants they will do well to pay at
tention to the first provision of the law above
cited.

TOO MANY LAW MAKERS.

W. s. Guffy Would Have the Number Re-
duced and Better Wages Paid.
Like q great many other people W. S. Guffy
is not very well pleased with the plan of max.
Ing laws in this State. He said last evening:
II would like to see the number of representa-
tives in the House cut down to 30, and Is in the
Senate. These men should be paid first.class
salaries and only the best men should be
elected. They may be business men or law
yers. but in any case they should have brains.
when they meet let the people who want
legislation appear before them and present
their claims. The legislators could then frame
the laws to suit the voters, and not the few who
generally have some ulterior object in view. l
suppose my ideas may be considered utopian,
but see no reason why such a scheme would
not work satisfactorily"

FRENCHMEN FLOCK In
From the Glass-Making Centers 10
This Country, to Obtain the
HIGHER WAGES FOR BLOWING.
A Conjecture That They Are Influenced
to Emigrate Here by
MANUFACTURERS WITH OBJECTS FOR 1T

The arrival in this city, Friday, of nine
French glass blowers and their families, has
caused considerable comment among men,
bers OF the trade, and occasioned much con-
lecture as to when foreign workers will
cease coming to these shores and, presuma-
bly, usurping the functions of native work
men.
The newly arrived glassblowers referred
to are from Lyons, city in Southern
France far removed from the glass making
district, of which Charleroi is the center
To many American workers this fact goes to
show that the United States is becoming
more generally known among European
glassworkers as q remuperative field for
their art, and, as far as Pittsburg is con-
cerned, that French workers throughout
that country are well informed as to where,
in this country. the chances of employment
are the greatest, and the demand the largest.
The small contingent which arrived last
week is but one of many which has reached
the city within the past three months.
They All Know Where to Go.
These foreigners know naught of English,
are unacquainted with the country, but are
sufficiently informed to know where to ship to.
and what quarter of the city to seek for further
knowledge when they arrive. The glassblowers
recently arrived went TO the Southside, and by
this time have been lost among the number of
foreign residents OF all countries which 90 to
make up that quarter of the city.
Though native workers are without definite
Information, there is 4 shrewd belief among
them that the French blowers do not find their
way over here by chance, but rather in pur-
suance OF the expectations held out to them by
emisSaries IN this country, as the result of
systematic attempt to induce the emigration Of
foreign workmen in large numbers. 1t Is be-
Eeved that certain among the glass manufac-
turers of this district have organized 4 means
of extensive advertising in French and Bel
gian glass-workiug districts the advantages
accrung to workers in this section over those
on the continent. and that the steady arrival of
foreign blowers-who land here and mix with
the ordinary population without any comment
tabulated statistics as to American glass;
making earnings, extensively disseminated
among the foreigners.
Double Motives for the Immigration.
The purpose of the manufacturers is credited
with being based on the double motive of
checkmating native glassblowers in any at
tempt to increase the rate of wages, by provid-
ing body of men who would take the places
of organized workers in the event of trouble
arising, and of profiting by the skill of men
who for SO many years sustained the quality of
French and Belgian-made glass against all
competitors.
That foreign workers should readily seize op-
porrunities OF coming here is not remarkable,
when it is remembered that the American

A Dealer Recommends Two Pairs to Be
Worn on Alternate Days.
ut pays to have two pairs of shoes for daily use
and to wear them on alternate days" remarked
Smithield street dealer yesterday. "On first
thought you may think this shrewd move on
the part of shoe men to get rid of their stock
but in the long run we lose by it. Every man
knows who has paid any attention to the sub
Ject that no two pairs of shoes are worn out
pair of shoes which were laid aside. They
don't fit the feet, and you say that they feel
funny.
Zone day man will wear bis shoes In a cer-
tain direction. and if he uses the same pair
day after day the chances are they will not be
worn even all over the foot. If he should put
on another pair on alternate days, the foot is
liable to press on the other side, and it is plain
to be seen how more wear can be obtained
from the shoes. If you don't believe me, try
the plan and save money on foot gear"

GETTING THEIR SUNDAY MAIL.
Postmaster McKean's New Arrangement
for Expediting Delivery of Letters.

Postmaster McKean yesterday put into oper-
alton another improvement. 1t has been the
custom heretofore on Sunday morning for the
carriers to distribute from the office the mail
for the hotels, newspapers and other down.
town business concerns The mail was handed
out of small window in the corridor, and as
only the hour between $50 and 1870 A. M; is
allowed for this purpose. the carriers window
was often too small to accommodate the crowd
that would call. Besides, confusion resulted
to the carriers. as each carrier was required to
wait upon persons whose places of business
were upon mis- route.
In order to get over all this confusion the
postmaster decided to open the door into the
carriers big room and allow persons after mail
to walk through narrow passage, guarded
upon each side BY ropes stretched from the
outside door through the carriers room and out
to the wagon yard on the Smithtield street side.
At the end of each of the nine ranges of car
riers placard, bearing the names of the car
riers on the range, was posted. A person ell
tiers and passes along until he reaches the range
where his carrier is located. He generally
knows the carrier the carrier knows him.
hands out his mail, and he walks out without
having to wait moment.
The new system was tried yesterday, aud the
200 or 300 people who called for their mail were
all highly pleased with it. The postmaster
himself watched the effect of the new arrange
ment and found it not only q convenience to
the carriers, but it prevents delay to the other

Representative Sands said the committee
