NOW BEARING FRUIT.
The Arrangement Between the Railway
Companies Now Apparent.

The Arrangement Between the Railway
Companies Now Apparent.
The results of the recent conference in
this city batween the magnates of the Du-
quesne and Pittsburg traction companies is
becoming apparent. At the conclusion of
that conference President Magee, of the
Duquesne company, said in an interview
that arrangements had been made which
will give the people better transit facilities
and better street car service generally, in
cluding traffic arrangements between the
two companies. He also indicated that on
December the fares on the Fifth avenue
line will be returned to the old 5-cent rate
Tie latter statement was officially veri-
fed yesterday and Scent fares will go into
effect next Tuesday morning Yesterday
the Duquesne Company began laying rails
to connect one Of its branch lines with the
Fifth avenue line, at Fifth and Shady ave-
nucs. The extension will reach from Den
niston avenue, distance of about 1, 100
feet, and when completed, as it will be by
December 1, will form the shortest route
from the city TO Williamsburg. Officials of
both companies are reticent as to what this
means, but it is obviously intended to trans
fer through passengers from the Fifth ave-
nue. cars to Duquesne cars at Fifth and
Shady avenues, under some traffic arrange
ment which the officials have not completed
or not chose to make public at this time
The Duquesne branch to wilkins
burg that is in operation at
presens will be retained, it is understood
for passengers to and from East Liberty
proper. c. L. Magee, when spoken to con-
ceining the matter yesterday, would say
nothing further than that the branch was
being extended for the purpose of securing
a shorter route to Williamsburg. He pre-
sumed there would be an arrangement for
transferring passengers, but intimated that
none had been made as vet

AL. Carlile, the Ohio Democratic poll

fresh from Columbus, the scene of the Sena-
torial struggle. He was one of Brice's
lieutenants, and knows just how the Lima
millionaire was elected. He says
Brice put up no money except
for legitimate expenses, and he was elected
because his forces were we'll handled. Mr.
Carlile thinks the Republican talk of un-

information was at once entered for aggra-
waited assault before Magistrate Hyndman
against Stevens and his hearing will take
place this morning
The police talked to Stevens yesterday
and drew from him that the hole under the
stairway he had made to hide in when the
police were after him. He said his story to
his wife about putting her body in it was
told only to scare her. Superintendent
Weir has known Stevens ever since he came
to Pittsburg.
He Is a thief and loafer," Superin-
tendent Weir said. 81 have no doubt the
fellow would have killed the woman If she
had continued in her refusal to give him
her property, but doubt that he would be
fool enough to plan for putting her body in
such place as that hole under the stairs
Mrs. Stevens has been making arrange
ments to trade her CHARTERS property for
property on De Soto street, and this is one
reason why Stevens has been so anxious to
have the deal made. The police will pro-
duce witness, they say, who will testify
that Stevens recently remarked that he was
to get possession of his wife's property, and
would start for England as soon as he got it.
An effort was made to see Mrs. Stevens last
night, but she had gone to friends in Home
wood for the night.

WATSON WON'T TALK.
The Attorney Refuses to Say Whether He

Would Accept an Appointment to the
Supreme Bench-Judge Baer in the
Roll.
The question of who will be successor to
the late Supreme Judge Clark received lib
eral discussion among Allegheny county at
torneys yesterday.
The concensus of opinion of those ap-
preached was that d. T. Watson would, if
he wished it. be appointed by Governor
Pattison to fill the Office during the interim
between this and the Inauguration of the
regularly elected judge, on the first Mon
day of January next.
ID. 7. Watson was busily engaged making
a memorandum on pad when THE Dis
PATCH reporter called yesterday afternoon.
He said he did not wish to be interviewed
on the subject, and that all the newspapers
had been treated alike by him. 1t was a
matter that he did not care to talk upon.
''How long had Judge Clark to serve, Mr.
Watson?" asked the reporter.
''That don't knox."
"Have you given any thought to the
promine::t mention of your name as his sue
cessOr?"
Il said before that would not be inter-
viewed"
would you accept if you were appointed
by Governor Pattison?'
81 don't know whether I would or not;
for that reason L don't care to be quoted. -
As the reporter left the gentleman's s
office, Mr. Watson said: "You know that
the appointee only serves until the general
election, then the successful candidate is
elected for full term of office-21 years
and not to fill the unexpired term of the
late Judge Clark
A very close friend and colleague of Mr..
Watson said: 81 think Allegheny county
should have choice for this office, and d.
Z. Watson, Judge Stowe or some other
equally competent man should be appointed.
Mr.. Watson" continued the attorney, ''as-
pires to some Office like the Supreme Judge
ship, or perhaps the United States bench,
and no one at the Pennsylvania bar is more
capable of performing the duties. He, how
ever. is rather 10th TO accept al appoint
ment which would only continue until the
election next year, when the chances for a
Democrat carrying even minor Office are
slight i'll Pennsylvania. Mr.. Watson is
quite confident of Mr.. Clevcland's election
if the latter is nominated, hence his
hesitancy in accepting the present vacancy,
i proffered him.
81 think that his idea is wrong in the
matter, for it look: to me that his able
jurisdiction while presiding for short
time as Supreme Judge would only enhance
his chances for position of equal import
anee in the future"
Other attorneys spoken to about the
Court House and in Lawyers row, regard
less of political sentiment, said that there
was no more competent man than d. T.
Watson to fill the position made vacant by
the late Judge Clark.
Judge Baer of Somerset county, is
frequently spoken of as successor to the
late Judge Clark. His brother, George
Baer, of Reading, Pa, is one of the fore
most lawyers of the eastern end of the State.
He is close friend to both Governor Patti
son and Attorney General Hensel, which,
1t is alleged, gives him favored place in
the race.

FIGHTING FOR THE CONTRACT.
Architects Pulling Wires to Have Their
Plans for Carnegie Library Adopted.

Plans Tor Carnegie Library Adopted.
The plans for the Pittsburg Carnegie
Library continue to be topic of general
discussion and some Of the architects inter-
ested are making lively hustle in behalf
of the designs they have submitted 1t was
learned yesterday that number of them
have friends at work endeavoring to secure
''infuence" on members of the Library
Commission which will secure them the
contract. In this connection q gentleman
on the commission remarked
''Fhey might as we'll save themselves the
trouble. All the influence that could be
brought to bear would not cause
the members of the commission to
recommend a design that is not
really the best. If Mr.. Carnegie himself
indicates desire that any particular plan
be selected have no doubt the commission
would follow his wishes, but he is not likely
to do that, and those who expect to gain
anything by seeing the members of the
board will have their labor for nothing"
It seems to have been quietly settled that
those which have tall towers and those
planned for buildings of brick, are, to use
the expression, "not in it." The removal
of tall tower designs from the list will re-
duce the number greatly and thus simplify
tine work Of the commission in making a
selection. There are only a few plans
which provide for brick structures

NOT AN EPIDEMIC.
Many Cases Of Fever and Diphtheria Re-
ported, but the Disease Is Not Spreading
Rapidly-Good Sewerage System Staying
the Diseases

Many Cases OF Fever and Diphtheria Re-
ported, but the Disease Is Not Spreading
Rapidly-Good Sewerage System Staying
the Diseases.
There have been large number of diph-
liberia cases reported to the health officials
within the past few days, and the indica-
tions are that this month will show large
increase over the corresponding month of
last year, though there is nothing to indi-
cate an epidemic.
The Oakland and Hazelwood districts
seem to have more than their share of cases,
though the sanitary district which is COM
posed of the Sixteenth, Seventeenth and
Eighteenth wards, which usually shows up
the largest number of contagious diseases,
is not far behind. Up until last evening
there had been reported, under the law
compelling physicians to make immediate
report of contagious disease cases coming
under their notice, 361 cases of diphtheria,
typhoid and scarlet fevers, large majority
of which were diphtheria cases and40 were
fatal. Seven new diphtheria cases were re-
ported on Tuesday and six yesterday. Three
cases of scarlet fever were reported on
Tuesday and five yesterday.
Unless the death rate from contagious
diseases increase rapidly during the remain
ing days Of the month the rate will fall con-
siderably below that of last month which
was the most fatal month, barring the
months in this year when la grippe carried
off so many victims, that the city had since
1887, the most fatal October in 10 years.
DR.. j. Guy McCausless, statistician of the
Health Bureau sad yesterday: "Our
death rate from infectious diseases took
jump last month but is letting down again.
Our sewerage system is to be credited for
large decrease in infectious diseases and
deaths, notwithstanding the marvellous
growth of population. In those sections of
the city where the sewerage is most COM
plete the fewest infectious disease cases are
reported, as in the wards comprising what
is known as the old city. We have less
disease of contagious character than in
other section. The sooner our sewerage
systems are completed the sooner will our
death rate from infectious disease be re-
duced to a minimum.

They were placed in Jail and will be given

CHILD sovEREIGNs.

The Status of Royal Minors In the Old
World.
1t is an interesting circumstance that
no fewer than three European thrones
are occupied by children Since the
abdication of King Milan, his son
Alexander, who was born in August,
1876, and is now, consequently, fourteen
years old, has been the titular ruler of
Servia, though the country is really
governed by board of regents. The
present King of Spain, Alfonso KILL,
is an infant, and during his minority
the normal head of the monarchy will
be his mother, the Queen-Regent
Christina. By the death of King
William III. the crown of Holland de-
wolves on his daughter, Wilhelmina,
who is in her eleventh year. Here
again, the child's mother, Queen Emma,
is temporarily invested with the royal
functions
What likelihood, asks the New York
Ledger, is there that these children will
ever rule in their own names? The
young King of Servia has evidently the
poorest chance of reigning. The quarrel
between his father and his mother, the
ex-Queen Nathalie, has divided his parti-
sans, while the pro-R Russian party, now
dominant in Servia, aims to displace
the Obrenovitch dynasty to which King
Milan and his son belong, and substi-
tute the pretender Karageorgevitch
As to the infant King of Spain, his sub
jects have been hitherto withheld from
revolutionary outbreaks by certain
sentiment of chiva1ry. But as the SOW
ereign grows older, this feeling will
disappear, and it will prove extremely
difficult for his supporters to make
head against the Spanish Republicans
on the one hand and the Carlists on the
other.
: The close approach to universal suf-
frage which. has recently been made in
Spain must greatly strengthen the pop
ular leaders who regard monarchical
system with contempt and detestation.
The girl Queen of Holland has the best
chance of retaining her position, but
her hour of trouble will come when her
marriage is discussed. Her mother,
who is German. will naturally wish
her to marry German Prince; but such
project is certain to be resisted by
Russia and France, nor is it likely to be
viewed with favor by the Hollanders,
who dread absorption in the German
Empire. On the whole, there is some
thing pathetic in the situation of these
child sovereigns
