With q Pistol Ball
Howard Roberts, well-known civil en-
gineer, ,suicided by shooting himself through
the head with a revolver, in his room at a
hotel in Smithfeld, Fayette county, on
Wednesday afternoon. The shot had been
heard by other people in the house. and
when they rushed to the room the young
man was lying on his bed unconscious. He
died few hours later.
Roberts was % years of age and was the
engineer in charge of the Baltimore and
Chic Railroad extension from Uniontown to
Morgaftown, under Chief Engineer P. H.
Irwin. Before firing the fatal shot he wrote
letter to Mr.. Irwin saying he was tired of
life. A telegram received a short time
before greatly excited him and, is thought
to have had something to do with his self
destruction.
He was formerly from Baltimore and is
thought to have relatives in this city, though
none could be found last night. He was
employed by Frick & Co., in the coke
regions; where is popularity known, prior to
his employment by the Baltimore and Ohio

They have been in New York six weeks,
where they were ''too Hospitality treated, I"
as they expressed it.
They have had no time to form an opinion
of America so far, but say it is vastly
different from England. They spoke of the
wretched streets in New York and the
neglect they receive from the Street Com
missioners, and yet they are always repair
ing them. "You cannot walk or ride three
squares" said one, without running on an
excavation of some sort with huge piles of
stones and dirt to delay traffic.

to the palatial limited. "Nothing compares
with it in England. We have been visiting
several banking institutions which e1-
change. and the financial status of American
cities thus far seems prosperous. The Nc

STILL ANOTHER DAY.

The Chrysanthemum Show Continued To.

Will Be Held Each Year-Bright Pros.
poets for the Next Exhibit.
The chrysanthemum show is success fal
beyond the expectations of the florists who
engineered it. This much is gathered both
from the promoters and from the inter.
iections and adjectives of the ladies, which
flew as numerously as chaff from aIwinnow-
ing machine. Robert c. Patterson stated
that the show would be kept open to-day by
request, and that it would be ladies' day.
The receipts have not been figured up, but
they are far beyond expectation, showing
that people in these cities have time and
inclination to think of something aside
from sailing down the almighty dollar.
The projectors say the success of the exhibit
is such as to make the eenterprise fixed one
and that every years exhibit will surpass
its predecessor. A. w. Smith, the Mt.
Washington florist, who took SO many
prizes, st3tes that last year he began to
grow chrysanthemums without knowing
much about them, and he is confident that
his present exhibit is not a marker to what
he will accomplish in future.

THE INDUSTRIES WHICH HE FOUNDED

Henry Dallmeyer, one of Pittsburg's old
and well-known business men, died at his
Haysville station residence, on Wednes-
day evening, from the effects of injuries re-
ceived in fall from porch roof last Fri
day evening. When the news of his death
reached the business community yesterday
morning it caused general regret, for Mr.
Dallmeyer had been highly regarded by a
large circle of friends in various branches
of business.
His death was the indirect result of SOM
nambulism and the circumstances were very
sad. When he retired last Thursday even
ing Mr.. Dallmeyer was in vigorous health
and good spirits. His wife had gone to
Wheeling to visit relatives to remain until
next day and there was none of the family
at home except himself and his daughter
Emma. Between 1 and o'clock that night
he arose from bed in his sleep and opening
window climbed out on the roof of a porch
from which he either walked or fell to the
ground below, distance of about 20 feet.

He lay there stunned for some time, but

Want Cheap Rates to wi,k,n.burp

The excitement over the fight between
the Duquesne Traction Company and the
Pennsylvania Railroad-for it is a fight
practically-is getting hotter in wilkins
burg. A prominent business man said last
night, as he rode home to Williamsburg in
an electric car: I'VE will bring the rail-
road to time before we are through We
must have Scent fare, and we intend to
have it. Reducing the time of making the
trip is all very well, but so long as we can
ride on the electric cars for less than we
pay on the railroad. so long will We allow
the trains to run along almost empty, as
they have been doing for the last few weeks.
What We demand is Scent fare, and with
out the trouble of buying monthly tickets,
either. Let the railroad sell 20 tickets for
81, good any time, and it will soon get all
its custom back, particularly if it moves its
Union station nearer the heart of the CITY,"

PAY FOR EXTRA WORK.

Contractors Sue the City for Money Said to
BE Due on the New Patrol Station-Ask
Almost as Much as the Original Con-
tract
Three suits were filed yesterday by At
torneys j. S. and E. G. Ferguson against
the city of Pittsburg to recover money al
legged to be due for the construction OF the
No. patrol station on Forbes street, Four
teenth ward. The amounts claimed aggre-
gate S19,2 so, though SIG, $50 has already
been paid. The original cost of the station
was to have been S19,95O but should the
suits be decided against the city, it would
make the total cost 36,17O 90 The plain
tlffs in the first suit are McGhee & Ries-
meyer, contractors, who sue for 81, ,2S6 90.
The other two suits are brought by G. h.
Riesmeyer, one for 81, 700 and the other for
S225.
In the statement of their case McGhee s.
Riesmeyer assert that on May z, 1890, they
contracted with j. o. Brown, Chief of the
Department of Public Safety, who had
been duly authorized to make such contract,
for the erection of the No. 4 police patrol
station on Forbes street, Fourteenth ward.
The contract price was S19,9 The work
was to be done under the direction of Archi-
tect Bickel. During the construction of the
building the plaintiffs were required to do
extra work and furnish material not in the
contract to the amount of SIS, 295 80. Their
work has now been completed, turned over
to the city and accepted more than 20 days
ago. They have been paid various amounts
at different times, and up to date have re-
ceived total on account of the
contract of S16,959, leaving due at the
commencement of the suit, S17, ,2SG so. Their
bill was presented to the proper officer for
payment, but it was refused, and the suit is
now brought to recover the amount.
The other two suits by G. H. Riesmeyer,
for 81, 700 and S225, are for additions to the
structure contracted for by j. o. Brown,
and constructed under the supervision Of
Architect BickeL The work in one instance
cost 81, 700, of which 81, 600 was paid on ac-
count, leaving 81, 200 due. On the other
contract the whole amount, S225. is still I'M
paid. In both instances the work was per-
formed according to plans and specifications.
Bills were presented to the proper officer
for the amounts due, but payment was re-
fused.

The Westinghouse Company Once More on

Liabilities Will Be Paid by the End OF

The reorganization committee that has
had the affairs of the Westinghouse Electric
and Manufacturing Company in hand has
made an entire success of the undertaking.
Yesterday was begun the work of lifting all
paper of the company held by Pittsburg
banks. An approximate of the amount
thus gathered in could not be given by the
officials, but it was stated to be consider
able, and it was further stated that within a
comparatively short time not dollar of the
electric company's paper will be held by q
Pittsburg bank.
Yesterday each of the local banks holding
electric paper received the following letter:
1 am pleased to be able to state to you
that all of the arrangements necessary to
clear up the affairs of the electric COM
pany, and put that concern on a sound basis,
have been effected.
GEORGE WESTINGHOUSE, JR., President
Vice President Bannister, of the West
inghouse Company, said last evening: 'The
Reorganization Committee, composed of
August Belmont & Co., Lee, Higginson &
So., ana brayUon Ives, Oh New L Ork, nave
fulfilled their promise to place the West
inghouse interests in their former good con-
dition, and we are now in a position to pay
off our Indebtedness in pursuance of the
agreement between the banks and our COM
pany. Everything is now in a satisfactory
condition"
Mr. Bannister stated further that it would
be impossible to name the exact date when
all the Indebtedness would be paid off. but
it will be as rapidly as possible, and there
will be comparatively little of it left after
December 1. He would venture no opinion
as to what had caused the recent drop in
electric stock, saying that was matter that
did not interest the company. The officials
were satisfied with the present state of
affairs, and cared nothing about outside
manipulations.
