MAY BE NAMED TO-DAY
Politicians Expecting Action on the
Vacant Federal Places.
THE FAV0RITES AT THE FINISH.
An Admirer Of Grover Cleveland Wants to
Bet Big Money.
MOVEMENTS OF THE LOCAL HUSTLERs

1t is generally believed in Pittsburg that
a successor to Collector Warmcastle will be
appointed to-day. The political complica-
tion arising by the candidacy of George
Shlras, Jr., for the late Judge Bradley's
place on the United States Supreme bench
has to an extent bewildered the friends of
George W. Miller and Ex-Recorder Graham,
candidates for Mr.. Warmcastle's place.
1t has also greatly encouraged the political
friends of r. A. Fulton Lyon, of West
moreland county, who contend that Allie
gheny county should not in justice receive
all the Federal places in district where
many other Republican counties are con-
cerned. 1t is asserted that the chances of
Mr.. Shiras for the place his friends are
seeking are away above par, which it is
claimed destroys the chances of the Inter
nal Revenue CoIlectorship or the district
judgeship coming to Allegheny county.
Concarn Caused by the Complication.
While the friends of Miller, Graham and
Fetterman still say they are hopeful they
are unable to conceal the concern they feel
at the peculiar turn political affairs have
taken, but the politicians who make and
unmake oficeholders say the candidacy or
even the appointment of Mr. Shiras will in
no way effect the appointment to the Col
lectorship and the Judgeship.
1t is now claimed that the district judge
ship fight is between Burlington, OF Arm
strong, and Davenport, of Erie county.
Both have forwarded to Washington sub
stantial Endorsements and both are accepted
as being elegantly equipped for the United
States Bench. The locality, it is now said,
will be the guiding influence in determin-
ing the appointment.
ga district judge and collector of in
ternal revenue will be appointed to-
morrow" Senator Rutan said yesterday.
What is your guess on the appoint
ments?" was asked the Senator.
Believes in Miller and f1ngton.
cit is a trifle difficult to say who the
President will appoint to those offices" the
Miller will be appointed Collector and Buff
fngton Judge"
There were several local politicians pres
ent at the time and all placed on record the
same prediction as was filed by Senator
Rutan.
The Internal Revenue office at Pittsburg
has been in the hands of Acting Collector
Mitchell since December a. During that
time up to February 1 the receipts of the
Office amounted to S5O9, 22S The December
collections amounted to S9S, 174 IA, while
the collections in January were swelled to
1870, 262 81. Collector Warmcastle's bond,
which was for 100000, is still held against
him by the Government. The officers now
in charge of the department are still bonded
to Mr. Warmcastle.

The Sheriff OF Pearl, Dakota, Looking for a
Woman in Pittsburg.

The Sheriff OF Pearl, Dakota, Looking for a
Woman in Pittsburg.
B. F. Weaver, the Sheriff of Pearl, Da-
kota, who three weeks ago passed through
Pittsburg on his way to his home in charge
of Frank LIE Feever, arrived in Pittsburg
yesterday and is stopping at the st. James
Hotel LIE Feever was arrested by Weaver
IN Cumberland county, Pa. He was
charged with murder and horse stealing. He
was tried Immediately after arriving at
Pearl, and was convicted of murder in the
second degree. He was sent to prison last
Saturday.
Weaver come to Pittsburg yesterday in

po> ed to be living in or about Pittsburg

old, and is rather good looking A reward
of $500 has been offered for her arrest

WANTS TO BET ON GROVER.

A Democratic Business Man Has Money to
Wager on the Ex-President-The Con-
test for the Local Delegates to the Ma
tional Convention.
The Cleveland feeling among the local
Democrats cannot be suppressed, and with
the approach of the contest for national del
egates the Cleveland sentiment is becoming
more pronounced. A party of Democratic
politicians were discussing the national del
egates and the fight. soon to be, inaugurated
for those places when prominent Demo-
cratic business man came up.
"Will the Democrats nominate Grover
Cleveland?" he asked.
There was no answer. The assembled
Democrats looked inquiringly at each other,
but no one ventured a reply.
eff Cleveland is nominated I will bet S.
900 that he will be elected. If any other Dem
ocrat is nominated for President will bet
$4,000 to s., 500 that tine Republican candi-
date, whoever he may be, will be elected.
This offer will stand open to all corners
from now until election day. Turning to
the reporter the Cleveland man said: "You
hear my offer. You know where am every
day, and you can bring to my place at any
time during business hours anybody who
wants to cover my money"
This offer, which was made during the
afternoon, gave Mr.. Cleveland somewhat of
boom, and last might the Cleveland men
were out chattering for their candidate 1t
is not likely that an effort will be made in
Pittsburg to elect anti Cleveland delegates
to the National Convention, as the recog-
nized leaders are all for Cleveland. There
will. however, be lively and not unlikely
bitter fight against the candidates for
national delegates who have been named
and selected by Secretary Harrity. John
Jiles, who is employed in Mr.. Harrity's
office at Harrisburg, has been in Pitts
burg for three DAYS putting up dele
gates for the State Convention and arrang-
ing slate for national delegates. Against
the arrangement made by Messrs. Harrity
and Jiles, w. j. Bremen, Thomas Mullen,
Alderman McKenna, Captain Thomas R.
Kerr and others of that GLASS of Democrats
will put other candidates in the field for
both State and national delegates. The
candidates of the latter combination, it is
said, will be Cleveland men, but will not be
under the control of the Harrisburg con-
tingent

FOR RIVER IMPROVEMENTS.
A Local Delegation to Appear Before the
Congressional Committee To-Day
No Fears That Holman's Economy May

A Local Delegation to Appear Before the
Congressional Committee To-Day
No Fears That Holman's Economy May
Prove Stumblins-fslock.
This week the River and Harbor Commit
tee is devoting its time to the inland and
Western waterways. To-day the local
rivers come up for consideration, and a
party of rivermen consisting of Captain
John A. Wood, T. j. Wood, G. L. Snow
den, Captain W. B. Rodgers, Captain Harry
Brown, w. j. Wood and Attorney W. p.
Potter went to- Washington to appear
before the committee. They were armed
with pamphlets, drawings of the rivers,
statistics about commerce, soundings and
other information needed. to enlighten the
benighted Congressman. W. j. Wood said
they wanted an increase in the appropria-
tions this year, and he thought they would
be satisfied with S30O0,O00.
The delegation will put in plea for the
construction of dams Nos. and g. The
latter is located at Beaver, and is familiarly
known as Quay's dam. The rivermen are
very anxious to have free navigation on the
Monongahela, but, as the question of buy
ing the dams at the appraised value made by
United States Supreme Court, the river navi-
gators are content to await the legal out
come. Captain Rodgers said they would have
numerous suggestions to make about i'm
provements along the Ohio between Pitts
burg and Cincinnati. The people interested
in the Cumberland river canal were heard
yesterday at Washington. Captain Brown
remarked that making the river navigable
would indirectly help Pittsburg. The
Southern products and their coal and iron
would naturally drift this way. He be-
lieved it good policy to improve the rivers.
81 don't think we will make any refer
ence to the Erie Canal" said Captain John
A. Wood. "unless some questions are asked
about it, and then we are prepared to fur
nish the information. Our object now is to
talk for an increase in the appropriations
for the rivers. There are lots OF improve
ments we would like to have"
The fact that Holman may run his meat
ak through the recommendations of the
River and Harbor Committee does not have
a depressing effect on the Pittsburg delega-
tion.

piscussine Street Improyement,.

The Allegheny Committee on Surveys
met last night. The petition for widening
Woods Run avenue was referred to sub
committee. The petition for establishing
the grade on Perrysville avenue from Car
roll street to the city line was sent back to
the committee of the whole, virtually de-
feat for the measure, as il can. hardly be pre-
pared for further action by Councils before
that body adjourns next month. A SUBJ
committee of the Public Works Committee
was to have met, but failed to get quorum.

REFERRED TO CHICAGO.
Freight Agents Make Recommendation
About Unciassified Iron.

About UDciassified Iron.
The Pittsburg committee Of freight
agents met in the Lake Shore Office yester-
day. A secret recommendation was made
to the Central Traffic Association about the
classification of some cheap and unclassifled
forms OF iron. About the lowest rate in the
iron schedule is applied to the class skelp,
which includes such varieties as muck, bill
lets and blooms. The chances are that the
unclassifed articles considered will be put
in the skelp class. Manufacturers were in
the habit of shipping shovels aud other
manufactured articles as sllelp iron, and is
is to prevent this practice that some
changes will be made. About week ago
the agents visited the mills to gather infor-
nation. They find it is good rule to fol-
low, as it brings them in contact with the
shippers, and they are enabled to act more
intelIigentIy in classifying their products.
This was done also with the bottle men.
Nothing has been done by the Glass Com
mittee ofthe Central raficAssoclation about
restoring bottles from the second to third
class. The local committee made recon-
mendation in the matter a few weeks ago,
but the Chicago people, though they may
be active in booming their town, are very
slow to reply when question of rates that
interests Pittsburg people is before them. &,

WHISKY WILL BE WEIGHED.
A Substitute for Gauging Adopted by the
Department..

A Substitute for Gauging Adopted by the
Department.
On and after March 1 next, all whisky
legitimately made will be weighed by the
Government instead of gagged as at present,
and those employees of the Internal Revenue
Department now known as gaugers will be
known as weighers. The first pair of scales
were received by Acting Internal Revenue
Collector Mitchell yesterday. A pair of
the scales will be placed at each distillery
in the district. The empty barrels will be
weighed first and when the liquor is taken
out of bond the full barrel will be again
weighed, and the weight of the empty bar
rel will be deducted from the whole
1t is said by the authorities that the
method of weighing whisky is more salts
factory to the distiller and the Government,
and is likely to avoid the errors that occur
in gauging.
