CURING THR EVIL.
Preparing an Ordinance to Regulate the
Mayors Actions.

Preparing an Ordinance to Regulate the
Mayors Actions.
One of the moves that will result from
the Allegheny investigation will be the
introduction into Councils of an ordinance
regulating the manner in which forfeits are
deposited by persons arrested for their ap-
pearance at a hearing. 1t is claimed by
the reformers that Mayor Wyman has
retained great deal of this money, but on
account of the mixed up way in which the
books are kept it is impossible to learn the
amount. The forfeits not called for amount
il is claimed, to about 500 week. Very
little of this has been turned into the city
Detectives will be engaged to find in
dividual cases, in which forfeits not called
for have not been turned into the city. In
order to cure the evil an ordinance will be
drawn up requiring that complete record
of all forfeits shall be kept.
The straightforward manner in which
Clerk Henry Hunneshagan delivered his
testimony before Alderman McMasters will
probably insure him from prosecution on a
charge of conspiracy. 1t is not claimed
that he received any money illegally, or that
any of his personal actions were dishonest.
His own testimony is looked upon as COM
plete vindication for himself.

They Are TRYING to Revive an Old Report
Against Mr. Ginilsnd.
Colonel W. a Stone left for Washington
last evening. He saws he isn't late, as the
Republicans will hold short caucus on
Monday and nominate Reed for Speaker
This was done last evening. Mr.. Stone
claims there is nothing in the talk against
Postmaster Gilliland, and he saws it is insti-
gated by an enemy. The Colonel then
divulged a few secrets that SO far have
escaped the reporters.
The postoffice inspectors, he said, are like
secret agents. If they see anything that
looks suspicious they are at liberty to in
Nestigate. Last spring one of these men
went through the Allegheny office and made
q report that was not fair to the post
master. Nothing was said rejecting
on the honesty of Mr.. Gilliland,
but the inspector said he was incompetent

port was very unsatisfactory to the Post
office Department and the President, and
when Colonel Bavne heard about it he was
dispieased. Through his efforts another in
spector, higher in authority than the first,
was sent 10 examine the office, and he re-
ported favorably TO Mr.. Gilliland. Now
Col Stone SAYS enemies of the postmaster are
trying to revive the old trouble of last
spring. He is very indignant about it, and
claims that Mr.. Gilliland is thoroughly

Allegheny's Mayor Says He Will
Not Be a Candidate for
National Delegate.
b. F. JONES MAY TAKE THE FIELD.
He Is for Blaine for President and Will
Enter the Fight if the sec-
retary Says So.
SENATOR RUTAN MAKES SOME DENIAIS.
Collector warmcastles Friends Are Restless and
Apprehensi,e.

Mayor Wvman has withdrawn from the
fight for national delegate in his district.
The Mayor decided upon this course yester
day morning. He sent for Emanual Vert.
heimer and asked him to enter the contest
as substitute. Mr.. Wertheimer refused to
be drawn into the contest, however. He
argued that he was a candidate for the
Legislature and had his hands well filled
with politics.
Outside of Mr.. Wertheimer Mayor
Nymsn has not indicated who he
would support for delegate. He and
William Witherow were pulling together
in their fight for the delegateship and the
anti-Wyman people Of the Northsi6e are
anxious to know who Wvman and Withe-
row will decide upon to fill out the term
now that the Mayor has withdrawn. Many
believe that Thomas A. Parke will be able
70 secure the Wyman influence, but there
are many others over there who believe that
3. F. Jones will now announce himself as a
candidate for delegate.
zones Is Not Hunting 8 Fight.
Mr.. Jones still refuses to say whether he
will enter the contest. He admits that he
would like to 60 to the convention, and his
friends argue that he will refuse to an
nounce himself so long as there are indica-
tions of an ugly fight in the district.
Mr.. Jones is the warm personal friend
and admirel of Secretary Blaine. 1t is
argued by the leaders that Pennsylvania
viii certainly cast her votes in the conven-
tion for Blaine, and if Mr. Blaine wants
Mr.. Jones to go to the convention, he will
announce himself and Will make the fight
necessary to be elected.
Wyman Can still Name the Man.
Much depends upon the position assumed
by Mayor Wvman. The charges against
him. his friends admit, have weakened him,
but they still say he is factor and an i'm
portsnt one. No one cares to take the field
in the face of his opposition. His friends
believe that his bowling to public sentiment
by Withdrawing from the fight for delegate
Will enable him 10 practically name the
man 10 fill the place he was after.
William Witherow saws he has no special
interest in the other fellow named as dele
gate. He is confident he will be elected
delegate but he admits that his own fight
Is al he cares to handle at this time
With the charges against the Allegheny
postoffce and the uncertainty that exists
among that faction of the party: with the
reformers busy rs beavers in the battle for
supremacy on the Northside. and with ex-
National Chairman B. f. Jones threaten
ing 10 be in the field at any time for
national delegate, Allegheny is Just now
enjoying political scramble that is inter
esting, and is attracting no little attention.

SLASHED HIS THROAT.

Nelson sommers Sewers Henry Harris
Windpipe With q Penknife-The In
jured Man Runs Out of the Central Ho-
tel With Blood Streaming From His
Wound.
People in the Central Hotel Office about
o'clock last night were horrifed to
see . young colored man come leap
ing down the stairs and out through
the corridor with blood streaming
from cash in his mex, aud leaving long
red trail across the tiled floor He ran across
the street to Johnston's drug store. He
stared about wildly there moment and
then broke for the door, running up Third
avenue to DR.. Montgomery's office. Just
inside the door he fell and was unable to
rise.
1t was Henry Harris, porter of the hotel.
He roomed with Nelson Sommers, another
porter, on the upper floor of the hotel.
Harris was lying on the bed last night when
Sommers entered the room. A quarrel
started about Sommers knocking drinking
glass from table and breaking it. Words
led to blows and Harris was pushed against
the wall.
Sommers struck him several times in the
face and then pulled small penknife from
his pocket. Opening this without Harris
seeing the action he slashed the latter
across the throat with it. The blow en-
tirely severed the windpipe and one or two
large veins. Seeing what he had done,
Sommers let go his victim, and Harris,
with yell of pain, fled from
the room and down through
the hotel The injured mans
windpipe was stuck together with pair of
small scissors, and he was sent to the West
Penn Hospital. In the meantime, Officer
White arrested Sommers and sent him to
Central station, charged with felonious cut
ting. Information will be made against
him tomorrow. He said he was sorry for
what he had DONE
At the hospital Harris was reported at
midnight as being in fair condition con-
sidered his wound. Physicians cannot say
whether he will live or not. Harris 81

ALL.NIGHT CARS.

The Duquesne Line Will Probably Adopt
the After-Twelve System.
Colonel W. L. Elkins, President of the
Fifth avenue traction line, said last night
that the first all-night cars would begin 10
run about January l. Since the consolida-
tion of the two lines there has been much
wonder by East End residents why the cars
were not run hourly.
1t is we'll understood that the operation
of the Fifth avenue traction costs more than
the Duquesne electric road, consequently
it would naturally be deemed more advisa
Bile to run these cars in preference to the

arrangement has not been definitely de-
cided upon, and cannot be until the result
of the stockholders meeting is made public
on December II.

for honorable dealings, have attracted to
their stores by far the biggest share of the
music trade of these cities and surround

bought at Klebers' must necessarily be the
very best of their kind; they know, further,
that the Klebers have been educated to the
music business from childhood up, unlike
many others who have drifted into it acci-

good piano from a bad one, or sharp
from a fiat. Don't run any risks by dealing
at such places, but call at Klebers' at once
