WANT FIVE MILLIONS.
City Chiefs Will Ask for a Slight
Increase Over Last Year.
MANY IMPROVEMENTS NEEDED.
Nr. EigelOw Would Like to Replace Old
Cobblestone Paving.
THE DEvELOPMEkT OF A GREAT CITY

The department chiefs at City Hall have
nearly completed their reports for the ten
months past of the present fiscal year and
the estimates Of their next years expenses.
Tomorrow those documents will be sent to
the Mayors Office according to law. The
chiefs decline to indicate what their figures
for the various bureaus are, but from the
information gained it is highly probable
the total appropriations this year will
slightly exceed S., ,0O0,0 900.
Last year the total was 81, 999, ,S02 90
The Department Of Public Works received,
all told, 81. 9S5, 7o6; Public Safety, SS04, 100,
and Public Charities, 500, 900. Interest and
tax on city loans, sinking funds, schools
and other necessary expenditures formed
the balance.
Chief Bigelow said yesterday his total
would not exceed last years figures "It
may be less" he said, 'and am trying to
pare things down as close as possible con-
sistently with the progress which is justi-
fed by the city's development
Much Repaving to Be Done,s
'tAn immense amount of repaving should
be done next year. The are many old cob
blestone streets which should have been
fixed up years ago, but we couldn't do all
in one year, so repaved the most important
ones first. expect repaving will cut quite
q figure in next years estimate, but I want
TO keep it below $500, 900 if possible. The
resolutions already sent to me by Councils
requesting the repaving of certain streets
call for more than that sum, but some will
necessarily be stricken off the list There
are other improvements in parks and eI-
tension of the water system which will re-
auire considerable money next year.
Gas the city is developed, as streets are
paved and farm lands are transformed into
populous city districts the expenses of my
department decrease. There has been q
wonderful growth in the past year. Miles
of streets and sewers have been paved and
laid, over 20, 900 feet of water pipe have
been laid aud public lighting hos been ex-
tended wonderfully.
Effect of the City's Growth.
Gas these improvements extend they in
crease the expenditures of the Public Works
Department. When Q street has been paved
and severed it must be lighted and kept
clean and it costs more money to do it.
Each newly paved street seems as an incen-
tive to the paying of others Thus the de-
velopment is carried on. To this spirit of
development is due the fact that Pittsburg
is the best lighted city in the world, one of
the best paved and severed in America and
one OF the most beautiful generally"
Chief Brown thinks his department will
need in the neighborhood of 81, 900, 900 next
v ear. The addition of 104 men to his fire
and police forces will add over 500, 900 to
his expenditures Several new engine
houses and police stations to be erected will
still further increase the expenses Chief
Elliot thinks the operation of his depart
ment will not exceed this years estimate.

VISITED THE MILLS.

The American Chemical Society Takes a
Glance at Some of Pittsburg's Industries
The Last Session of Successful Meet
ing-A New Branch Formed Here.
The closing session of the annual meeting
of the American Chemical Society was held
last night in the Academy of Science andArt
The attendance was pretty good, though
large number Of delegates had left after the
days visiting of the many mills in and
around Pittsburg During the day the
members visited the Howard Plate Glass
Works and the Duquesne and Homestead
steel plants, the works of the Pittsburg
Reduction Company, the Pittsburg Tin
Plate Company and the Chambers Glass
Company.
Prof Edward Hart, of Lafayette College,
Easton, Pa, presided and Durand Wood
man acted as secretary at last evenings
meeting
Prot. r. B. warder, OF Howard Univer-
sity, read paper on "Physical Chemistry"
After discussing the science of physical
chemistry he referred to the international
| Congress of Chemists to be held in Chicago
the coming year. He hoped it would find
what lines are open for search and what
problems awaiting solution would be solved.
A paper by Dr.. c. W. Volney on
american Lithographic Stone" was made
by Prof. A c. Hale The paper was de-
scription of chemical analyses of the lime
stone used for lithographic purposes found
in different places and comparison be-
tween the different stones.
Prof c. E. Monroe, of the United States
torpedo station at Newport, read paper on
the composition of modern powders. The
papers were practically a record of analyt-
ical tests made of various modern gunpow-
ders, principally smokeless powders, show
ing their composition and describing the
manner of making the tests.
A communication from Prof j. F. Gels
ner, of New York, as to the advisability of
the adoption of table of atomical weights
was read by Prof Sabin. Prof. Geisner
recommended the appointment of acommit-
tee of representative chemits to prepare a
suitable table.
The Chairman was authorized to appoint
a committee of one to report at the next
annual meeting his observations on atomical
weights.
The society was not in favor of adopting
the reformed system of spelling certain
scientific terms and when brought up the
question was promptly dropped.
About 35 applications for membership
had been received since the last meeting
and were pending action before the coun-
ell. With a vote of thanks to all persons
and corporations who have aided in making
their visit to Pittsburg pleasant, the so
ciety adjourned.
The chemists of this city have been
thoroughly stirred up by the meeting and
will at once separate from the Engineers
Society and form branch of the American
Chemical Society. Heretofore none of the
many chemists in pittsburg have belonged
to this society, but were united with the engi-
neers, and it was partially with this object
that the meeting was called here. Some of
the chemists will visit the Connellsville
coke region to-day. |

Higbee, the Democratic candidate, bv five
votes Andrews filed contest on a techni-
cality, but the Republican leaders of the
House have declared that they will not dis

that If Mr.. Andrews could show fraud or

ICE GORGE IN THE RIVER.

The Sudden Rise in the Temperature In
creases the Danger From Floating Ice
and High water-Rivermen Preparing
for It-Warmer Weather Promised To-
Day.
It was with apprehension that the river
men read the bulletins from the up river
points yesterday. The extreme cold weather
of the past week had frozen the rivers to a
depth of several inches and the promised
warm wave threatened to increase the dan
ger of an ice gorge. Notwithstanding the
shallowness of the streams the rivermen
began at once to prepare for q heavy rise
by securing men to cut away the ice from
the wboats at the wharf Every precau-
tion was taken to prevent the boats and
barges being injured by the ice
Reports indicated that warm wave was
approaching from the West and that it was
due here to-day. The temperature will
likely rise above the freezing point to be
followed by rain. The temperature is
likely to go as high as 800, which would
cause heavy rise, as the snow near the
headwaters of the Monongahela, Youghio-
gheny and Allegheny rivers is heavy, while
there is heavy ice at all points.
The Ohio at Louisville had been frozen
over until yesterday, when it was suddenly
released by the warm weather, doing much
damage to the locks of the canals and boats
in port All points below Pittsburg are
open, while the ice around this city was
breaking up yesterday. By to-day the
harbor will likely be entirely open, but
traffic cannot be resumed for several days,
as the floating ice will interfere with navi-
CATION.
What is troubling the river men
most is danger from ice gorges. The water
is very low and nothing is feared should it
remain low and the ice be allowed to float
quietly of, but it is probable that on ac-
count of the sudden rise in temperature the
water will rise rapidly and thus much dam
age be done to the interests all along the
river

AT DEATHS DOOR.

Morris Ramsey Subjected to an Operation
Without Any Hope OF Saving His Life
Death but a Short Way Oh-A Life Of
Industry and Success.
Morris Ramsey, General Manager Of the
Southwest Coal and Coke Company, one Of
the II. G Frick interests, is dying at the
Sutton Hospital Mr.. Ramsey's home is at
MT. Pleasant, Pa. He has been identified
with the coke industry during its entire
history. He was originally miner, then
mine inspector, later a mining engineer,
then Superintendent of Mines and finally
General Manager of the Southwest Com
pany. He is married and has eight chill
dren.
Last May Mr.. Ramsey was stricken with
peculiar ailment. He was then a strong,
powerful man. The medical skill OF the
country was called into conference on his
case. He was sent to the Sanitarium in the
mountains, where the physicians decided
that he was suffering with a flooding kidney.
His treatment was not beneficial, however,
and he was again taken to his home. Drs.
Marsh, of Mt. Pleasant, and Sutton, OF
Pittsburg, attended him. The patient was
finally brought to DR.. Sutton's hospital.
His condition continued to grow weaker
and it was decided that an operation would
be necessary. The physicians agreed that
the operation would likely prove fatal, but
in any event they were content that death
would only be hastened day or two.
The operation was performed yesterday
by Drs. Sutton, Marsh and Litchfeld. The
patient was subjected to an an@sthetic,
and he was found to be suffering with can
Ger of the pancreas. The ailment was
found to be necessarily fatal and it is not
believed Mr.. Ramsey will survive the
shock of the operation.
Mr.. Ramsey, whose life is limited to q
few hours. was one of the substantial props
under the successful development of the
coke industry. He is regarded BY H. o.
Frick as one of the best managers in his

THEY CALLED 1T OFF.

They School Fight in Upper St Clair Town
ship Stops Dedicatory Ceremonies-The
Prof Smith and Prof Caldwell Rival
Factions Create Another Scene.
The school fight in Upper st. Clair town.
ship eliminated yesterday in a row that
broke up the dedication of the new Nc
MILAN school.
The fight occurred over the appointment
of Prof A. G. Smith as teacher in the
school at a salary of $50 per month, when
some of the members declared that he was
not to receive more than $40 per month, as
his experience was not sufficient to Justify
higher salary. In the midst of all this
trouble, Prof Smith quietly resigned, stat
ing that he did not care for the money in
volved, but was anxious that justice be
done him.
Mr. Smith is teacher in the Beading
Sunday school, which was founded by his
employer, the well-known mine owner. He
is we'll thought of in that district, and was
invited by Mr.. Beading to attend the dedi-
cation of the new Mcmillan school, with his
class of Sunday scholars The interest in
the affair had grown greatly, owing to the
fight made against Prof Smith, and large
crowd attended the dedication. Prof
Hamilton made the dedicatorv address, the
flag was presented by c. P. Mayer and re-
ceived by Secretary Mcmillan, and all was
peace until Prof Smith was called upon tor
speech. Prof j. G. Caldwell, who had
been appointed in place OF Prof Smith, was
also present, and both men had
a strong following. Prof Smith
began his speech very nicely, and capti-
vsted the audience BY his eloquence He
soon drifted away to his own story and his
trouble with the St. Clair School Board,
and gave his version in good round English.
Some of the opposition objected to his
terms. and asked that he stop talking, but
the bright young Professor refused to listen
to their orders Amid generally lively
scene the Chairman of the meeting declared.

Retailers in West Virginia May Simply Act
as Agents for Purchasers.
PARKERSBURG, W. VA, Dec. %. -
Especial Judge Jacobs, of the Doddridge
County Circuit Court, has just rendered an
important decision to shippers of liquor.
In the case of Flanagan, liquor dealer of
this city, customer made an order which
the dealer shipped C. o. d. by express, and
was indicted for selling liquor without 8
license in that county. The case was tried
before a jury and the defendant was ac-
quilted, but the State appealed. Judge
Jacobs dismisses the appeal, holding that
the sale was made in this county and that
the express company was the agent of the
purchaser, not of the seller.
1t has long been considered illegal to ship
liquors into several districts in this State
unless they were bought and paid for prior
to shipment from elsewhere; but this de-
cision does away with that idea, and now
the Doddridge county people can have all
the wet goods they want, provided they pay
the return charges OF the express company
handling the purchase money.
