"THIRTY" AT 81.
William Ross, Pittsburg's Best Known
Composition, Joins the Majority.

William Ross, Pittsburg's Best Known
Composition, Joins the Majority.
''Billy" Ross is dead. And in every
newspaper and job composing room in the
city yesterday and last night the nimble
fingers that picked up the type trembled and
the copy was blurred by the tear-drop that
came unbidden to the eyes of his old COM
panions. For every "Print" in town was
"Biliy's" friend.
"Billy" had not been with the boys for
several months Before he left their circle
he grew weak and told them all he felt SO
tired. And on each thinning cheek q
hectic flush came and went so
often that the boys talked about
it. and sighed. And when he laughed
cough made sad accompaniment. So
"Billy" went home to rest-and journey on.
Away back in the early 7O's William
Ross, then mere lad entered upon his
apprenticeship in THE DISPATCH He was
quick and capable, and became skillful
credit to his craft. He never roamed, but
remained here until the great Copy-Cutter
cried "All inv' ''Thirty" at 81!
During his long illness at his home on
Cliff street, 'Billy' received the tenderest
care. 1t was his wish that his sister-in-law
be his nurse and counselor. She was his
constant attendant, and, sad to relate, her
spirit Joined his soon after the messenger of
death entered the chamber of her charge.
"Billy's" case in THE DISPATCH COM
posing room is "slug 80" The "sub" on
that ''trame" last night drew "Bil1y's"
number in taking copy when work COM
menced there last evening. He also drew
off the ''hook" the obituary notice which ap-
pears in the column OF deaths in this issue.
Lastly, when what precedes this paragraph
was 'cut up" and placed on the copy hook,
"Billy's" "sub' got the first 'take," the
first word of which, as the reader will OBJ
serve, is ''Thirty." Strange coincidence,

Appointments and They Are Approved.
G. C. McClaugherv, an official of the
Joliet Penitentiary and a brother of Chief
of Police McClaughery, of Chicago, who for
a time had charge of the Huntingdon Re-
formatory, was yesterday elected Assistant

tion yesterday, when the managers held

Doaru llsI OF ~ persons WHOM ne nad ap-
pointed to various positions about the in
stitution. The appointments were con-
tirmed by the board.
Tne removal of Mr.. Burke from the as
sistant superintendency has created con-
siderable talk in political circles. Presi-
dent Hax said last night that he did not
know why Mr.. Burke resigned; and no reasons
were given in the written copy submitted to
the board. Mr. Hax added that the board
had nothing to do with the office of As
sistant Superintendent, and they had no dis
position to interfere with the Superintend-
enl's appointments. :

STATELY HELD AGAIN.

The L. & O. Agent Has Another Charge
Piled Up Against Him to Answer at
Court-His Wife Preparing to Ask for
a Divorce.
W. "A. Stately, the Law and Order de-
tective who was arrested last Saturday
night while presiding over q gambling
house in which he had been living with
Mrs. Sallie Welsh, a married woman, was
given hearing before Magistrate McKenna
On the latter charge yesterday, and held for
court in default of $1,000 bail. As he was
held on the charge of keeping a gambling
house on Monday, Stately now has two
serious charges against him in court. His
wife Is making arrangements to procure evi-
dence, and there is a possibility of another
charge being entered against him by the
police.
Stately made no defense when brought be-
fore the magistrate yesterday. On the way
from Jail he acknowledged his perfdy to
Detective Shore and seemed to realize that
he had gotten too deeply into crime to hope
for extrication. The only witnesses eX-
amined were Detective Shore, the woman
from whom Stately rented the house in
which he and Mrs. Welsh lived as man and
wife and the Inspector.
The detectives s testimony related entirely
to the facts of Mrs Welsh deserting her
husband and three little children in Wash
ington county and living with the Law and
Order Society's detective until she learned
Of the police being after her, when she was
assisted out of town by Stately, who was e1-
pected to follow her next day.
The lady who rented the house identified
Stately as the man who hired it and lived
in it with Sallie Welsh, whom she supposed
was Stately's wife. This closed the testi-
mony and the magistrate remanded the Law
and Order Society's best detective to Jail
for court trial.
Mrs. Stately was not present at the hear
ing, but two of his sisters were, though
they took no part in the proceedings. On
their back to Jail Stately admitted that he
had treated his wife shamefully in addition
to his other acts, and could not blame her
for suing for divorce, but his conversation
showed that he has hopes of getting her to
intercede and shield him from the conse-
quences of his crimes by cooperating with
her to secure divorce. Mrs. Stately
seems to be highly honorable woman,
and it is questionable if she would consent
to any such business.

The General Conference of the A. NJ E.
Zion Church met again yesterday morning.
Wednesdays proceedings were approved,
with the exception of the appointment of
Thomas c. Hood, of Baltimore, as a marshal
of the assembly.
The most important business of the after
noon session was strong resolution against
the Sunday opening of the Worlds Fair at
Chicago, and a refusal of Rev. Y. C. Price
to accept bishopric in the church. After
the convention committees had been an
nounced. The resolution against the Sun
day opening of the Worlds Fair was pre-
sented. 1t was first decided to suspend the
rules and PASS the resolution unanimously,
but this did not suit the radical members,
who desired that the resolution be referred
to committee and then submitted for the
signature of every delegate present.

OLD GRADUATES MEET.

Western Theological Students Given Their
Dfplomas-words OF Warning to Minis
ters-They Must Dress Well and Be
Good Takers as Well as Christians.
Yesterday afternoons session of the
si1ty-ffth annual commencement exercises
of the Western Theological Seminary was
devoted to meeting of the alumni in the
Bellefeld Presbyterian Church. The meet
ing was held at 4:30 o'clock and over 200
members were present. The Rev. DR.. o. A.
Hills, President of the Alumni Association,
presided. An address was delivered by the
Rev. DR.. R. F. Sample, of New York.
The address was followed by singing,
after which the Rev. DIR. Hills made an ad-
dress of welcome to the class of '92. Mr. j.
S. Nichols responded, and in behalf of the
class of '92 returned thanks for the welcome
extended to them. He compared the class
to soldiers entering the ranks, into whose
hands the standard may come from the
older soldiers. At the conclusion of his re-
marks the Rev. DR.. McClelland, pastor of
the church, invited the alumni to dinner,
served in the church.
In the evening the church was crowded
with friends of the graduates and the in
stitution. Rev. VIM. H. Jetfers, DID. LII.
D., conducted the exercises After the de-
votional exercises an address was made by
Rev. DR.. j. L. Witherow. He spoke Of
matters to which ministers should give
their attention in order to win men and
women to Christ. Referring to personal
appearance he said careless minister was
more handicapped by careless dressing than
dudish one by over dressing. He men
toned one minister who delivered good
sermon, but its effect was lost by reason of his
slovenly appearance. He appeared to have
been continually losing buttons that never
came back.
At the conclusion of the address DR.. JEFF
fers made short address to the graduates
containing good advice for their future gov
ernment. He then presented them with
their diplomas. The graduates numbered

DOGS IN DANGER

The City Catchers VIII Open tho Season
on Monday.
Next Monday morning the dog catchers
Will start out with orders to scoop in all
dogs who do not wear the Department of
Public Safety trade mark for 1892. Thus
far about 1000 license plates for 1892 have
been issued, which, according to the num-
ber issued last year, means that there are
about 5000 dogs running loose without
their life preservers and liable to the
catchers' net.
The first few days after the license plates
were placed in the police station, for dis
tribution the number taken out averaged
nearly 800, but for several days past the
number has been falling off When the
catchers begin work next Monday they will
continue all summer.

Cinnamon Do Not Want to Go Back to tho

Second avenue and Grant street China
men were much disturbed last night over
the latest piece of legislation against their
race. A talk with number of the almond
eyed leaders developed the fact not a
Chinaman in Pittsburg had ever made any
pretense at becoming naturalized, but they
will all avail themselves of taking out cer-
tificates of residence rather than go back to
China and be unable to return.
In an interview last night Quong Wo
Sung, the dealer in Chinese things at 179
Second avenue, said: None of the China
men here have ever tried to be naturalized,
but we will take out papers of residence
because we do not want to go back to the
old country unless we are allowed to come
back. We would rather live here than in
China. I guess we are not wanted in this
country, but we do not want to leave"

vertigo on the fifth floor of City Hall yes

floor, striking her head against a sharp

attended by the lady clerks in the delin-

unsuccessfully to resuscitate her, DR.. Mer-
cur was sent for. His efforts also proved
unavailinC, and at 3 o'clock last evening
Mrs. Espy was taken to her home in car

LIVELY CHASE FOR A THIEF.
James Camp, a Graduate of Morsanza, Al
rested for Picking Pockets.

James Camp, a Graduate of Morsanza, Ar
rested for Picking Pockets.
Detective Fitzgerald had one Of the
liveliest foot races last night that he has
had in years. The front Office force has for
some days been looking for James, alias
"Reddy," Camp, who is Morganza gradu-
ate out on parole and who was wanted for
pocket picking. Shortly before o'clock
last evening Detective Fitzgerald saw Camp
on Fourth avenue and started after him.
Camp was on the alert and sought safety in
flight. The pursued and the pursuer dashed
through number of streets.
Camp is quite a sprinter, but he found
more than match in Detective Fitzgerald,
who succeeded in running him down on
Sixth avenue. Camp attempted to show
fight, but the officer choked the courage out
of him and landed him in the Central
station.
In speaking of the case last night Inspec-
tor McKelvy said that Camp had caused the
department more trouble than a gang of
professional thieves. The Inspector claims
that Camp is at the head of gang of young
fellows who are pickpockets and who are
taught by him, and they have succeeded in
gathering in a number of pocket books
lately. 1t is likely that Camp will be sent
back to Morganza to serve out his time.
