LEGITIMAT TIE,

Ever since the Big Four secured it's am- pie and glorious vindication from the board Of aldermen there has been mild discussion concerning payment of the expenses of it's triumph. And we have been surprised to see that some well-meaning citizens think the Big Four should pay its own lawyers and not even ask the city to do it. Those who so think do not, we suppose, fully understand the situation. They do not realize that by a majority of two votes (with four voting who were really disqual- ifed) the board of aldermen has declared that the Big Four has been abused, and that the three thousand citizens who signed the petition against it have come home from London with their hair parted in the middle, wearing pointed shoes and converted to illegitimate politics. They do not realize how thoroughly all the acts of the Big Four have been for the public welfare and how little the protesting citizens know about what the legitimate public welfare of this country demands. They do not realize the lofty aims, the public spirit and the grand unity of the Big Four. Therefore they protest, they kick, and they say that the Big Four has already cost the city enough.
 But such blindness and illegitimacy of view should be rebuked. It Is not enough that the Big Four has been vindicated by majority of two. It should have all it's past and future expenses paid by the grate full and app-eciative city whose interests it has so we'll guarded and whose fame it has done so much to spread abroad. And not only should it have what money it wants for it's personal expenses. It and it's memory should be embalmed in endur- ing brass. Brazen statues of Commission CTS Atwater, Todd ,s Sullivan and Maley should be ordered by the court of common council and the front of the city hall herewith adorned and made glorious. In this way, better than in any other, can their splendid public services be itly com memorated and future generations taught how civic legitimacy can triumph over civic illegitimacy, and how public virtue, though threatened and bespattered by "the better clement" can emerge from the ordeal unshaken and clean.

 The convention of Theosophists in Chicago elicited some interesting facts about those mysterious and intangible be- rendezvous in the secluded recesses of the Himalayas. Somebody suggested that there should be colony of them in the Mojave desert or on some lonely mountain peak in Washington, and Mr. w. Q. Judge admitted that this proposal has been dis cussed. s'But we couldn't have them in America" he added. "Every newspaper man in the United States would scout them out and get them to give up the secrets they possess. Do you suppose they could live in New York; No. They would be asked to advertise" Most of the Mahat- mas, Mir. Judge says, are male beings Some of them, it ia true, are of female form, but "the ego, which is neither male nor female, from time immemorial has had better success in male bodies."
 A new clause in. the workmen's pro- tectivs act has just gone into operssaon in Germany. This provides that in every factory where there are more than twenty hands, schedule shall be hung up giving information on the following points: CD The daily work-hours and intervals for rest; (2) the time and manner of reckoning and paying wages; (9 how long warning will be given, and what reasons will be con- sidered sufficient to dismiss workmen without notice; (D the nature and amount of fines, if any; how they are to be col lected, and to what purpose the money so obtained will be turned. With reference to the fines, it is ordained that the amount shall not in any case exceed half the average daily wages. The fines are to be determined without delay, and brought to the knowledge of all the workmen. AS to ths conduct of those employed in the manufactory, it is provided that, with the consent of 8 committee of the workmen, directions may be issued to regulate the employment of any extra money which may fall to the share of the men, and also for the superintendence of the behavoir outside the factory of those who are under age. Unless this agreement is made, the arrangements are only to con- IL T. E. the manufactory walls, and the manner in which the work is to be done. In no case is any attempt to be made to inter- fere with the adult hands outside the place Of work

POO-BAH OF A BOROUGH.

High Constable, Chief of Police, Lamp
lighter and Fire Chief Bigley, of Belle
vue, Wants His Pay-Trouble Over Stock
Deals-Court News.
An unusual suit was entered yesterday
in Common Pleas No. 5. The case is that
of Mr.. Bigley against the borough of Belle
vue to recover S256 90 Bigley states that
for time he was high constable of the
borough, also chief of police, lamplighter
and fire department for the place. In 1889
the Borough Council passed an ordinance
providing that the regularly elected con-
stable should be chief of police and that
the police force should light the street
lamps. The chief was to receive 50 per
day and as he was the whole force he
lighted the lamps. He was also the fire de-
partment. Bigley was constable in 1890
and 1891 and in 1892 was reelected after
close campaign.
In April, however, the Council passed an
ordinance repeating the ordinance making
the constable the Chief of Police and sepa-
rated the offices, superceding Bigley as
chief A warrant was drawn for his salary
for April, but the Burgess would not give
it to him until he would agree to relinquish
his claims to the various positions. This
Bigley would not do. He now claims to be
willing to perform his duties, and that he
cannot be discharged, as he only ran for
constable on the understanding that he
would get the other positions and salary.
He claims there is now due him $244 salary
and S12 90 for subpenaing witnesses, etc, a
total of $3.50 90.

VIBRATING TREATMENT.
The Patient Instead of the Medicine to Be
Well Shaken.


Well Shaken.
T. n. Hunt, of New York, who was a
guest at the Central Hotel yesterday, was
discussing the development of ''vibratory
,nedicine" with Dr. Cable. His ideas, he
said, were those of DR.. Charcot, the famous
Partisan physician. The latter had
for long time observed that
persons who were afflicted with
shaking palsy always experienced great re-
lief after railroad travel. Taking this sug-
gestion as an uncontroverted tact he has
constructed an arm chair furnished with an
ingenious apparatus which made the iden-
tical motions OF those communicated by the
railroad car After the sittings in the
trembling" arm chair the sick with this
malady had more stiffness in their move
ments They ceased to be agitated by
spasmodic twitchings and slept calmly, Civ
Mr. Hunt said NJ. GILES, of La
Tourette had invented and constructed
vibrating head gear for the purpose of
transmitting localized vibrations to the
head. This vibrating head gear made
person hear a soft buzzing or humming
sound resembling the hum Of insect life and
produced, even in healthy persons, a strong
tendency to sleep. 1t proved to be q
precious discovery in cases of insomnia In
many instances the application has been
sufficient to disspate sick headaches, and to
ameliorate some cases of Inflammation of
the nerves.
The vibratory medicine has in Mr.. Hunts
estimation, shown its right to hold q rank
among those medications which have dem
onstrated their usefulness.

AT THE UNION MILLS.

Departm ents at Both Plants I'm Operation
Yesterday Morning-Shoepberger Men
Stick to Their Original Demands-Ncws
of the Labor World.
The Upper and Lower Union Mills were
in operation yesterday. Several OF the
skilled non- union men failed to put in an
appearance, but 1t is said the firm had a
sufficient number of new men on hand to
replace the absentees. The strikers induced
seven workmen to leave the companys
employ. Among them were two Poles who
could not understand English. After
laboring with them an hour they were al
lowed to go.
In the Twenty-third street plant the 70
inch old plate and 12-inch mills were in
operation. At the Twenty-ninth street
works the 72-inch mill was started and
the bumper shops were put into partial
operation.
During the afternoon the Finance Com
mittee of the Amalgamated Association dis
tributed funds amounting to several hum
dred dollars among the strikers. Louis
Weiss, who was assaulted on Friday and
the same day left the company's employ,
received his wages yesterday morning. The
management deducted $40 20 from the
amount for board and shoes Weiss said,
although he had no written compact, the
agreement was to furnish him board and
clothing free.

Charles McGovern has entered suit before

William Lemon charging him with aggra-
vated assault and battery. McGovern says
he was standing in the Diamond on Market
street leaning against building reading a

to him ''Move on you loafer."
McGovern complied with his request OBJ
jecting to the remark, saying he was no

over to him and commenced to beat him
with his mace. He dubbed him unmerci-
fully, hitting him in the mouth and black

IN THE JUNIATA MILLS

The Trouble in the Open Hearth Depart
ment Has Not Been Settled.
At the Juniata mills of Schoenberger &
Co. trouble still prevails in the open hearth
steel department. The workers have not
receded from their original demand, and the
firm will not make the necessary concession
to secure harmony. On Saturday last Mr..
John Speer, one of the leading members OF
the concern, said that they were tired OF
trying to arrange an amicable settlement
with their employees, and would start up
with or without them to-day.
Last evening it was stated that the matter
was in fair way of being settled, but this
statement could not be confirmed. In fact,
several of the employees seen yesterday said
they had heard of no arrangement being
effected. They laughed at the idea of the
mill running non-union and declared that
was one mill in the country at least that
would never run with other than union
labor Mr.. Speer is very determined, and
said his firm will not give in. They have
number of applications on hand from skilled
steel workers which they think of accepting
if their men do not return.

CHANGING THEIR LUCK.
why Rivermen Sometimes Change the
Names of Their Craft

why Rivermen Sometimes Change the
Names of Their Craft.
The changing of the name of the steamer
General Dawes to q. K. Riggs suggests the
great amount of superstition among the river
men about the name of boat When an
unlucky boat comes into new hands the
first thing sought after, to break the bad
luck, is a new name. This can usually be
obtained by application through the home
port clerk to the Commissioner of Naviga-
tion. If the boat is not under 10 years old
by applying 40 per cent of the first cost to
improvements it can be rechristened. Ma
chinery, after it is 10, years old, will pre-
vent boats getting new name. River
men are constantly changing the names of
their craft to bring them better luck. The
Ingomar was named after boat which was
particularly unlucky. 1t sunk under this
name, was raised and renamed the Jolly
Brothers. 1t has not been successful under
this name, either, and would undoubtedly
be changed now if the boats age did not
deter the owners from doing so.

SUING FOR A LEASE.

Albert A. Stewart Says He Has First Claim
to Gas Territory.
A bill in equity was filed yesterday by
Albert A. Stewart against John D. Robb
and the Oakdale Gas Company. Stewart
states that on July 15, 1892, Robb agreed to
lease to him the oil and gas rights of a
tract of land in North Fayette township
for 81. 500. The following day Stewart ten
dered the money and asked Tor the written
lease. Robb, however, would not execute
it, stating that few hours previous he had
leased it to the Oakdale Gas Company for
$1,000 Stewart now claims that the terri
right. He therefore wants the lease to the
gas company declared void and one given
to him

An Investor Who Protests Against His
Brokers' Methods.
G. j. Mckee yesterday entered suit
against William G. StahI and John A. Jar
din for $4,000 damages. He states that he
commenced dealing with the defendants in
1890, advancing money to them to buy
stocks for him. He directed them to buy
c., B. & @. and other railroad stocks, and
Sugar and Lead Trust stocks During 1890
and 1891 the defendants furnished him slips
purporting to be record of the actual deals in
these stocks. On the faith of their repre-
sentations Mckee advanced, as appeared by
the slips, IS, 595 in cash. The truth was no
such purchases or deals in the said stocks
were ever made ON account of the plaintiff
On the contrary, it is charged, they appro-
priated the money to their own use without
any legal consideration or right He
therefore wants $4,000 damages.
