PAYING FOR THEIR OWN VOTES.
A Rush Of Citizens to the Delinquent Ia
Collectors Office.

Rush Of Citizens to the Delinquent Tax
Collectors Office.
The delinquent tax collector and his
clerks this week have been having one of
the hardest sieges of work in the history of
the office. Tomorrow will be the last day
voters can pay their county tax on occupa-
tion in order to get vote in the Presidential
election. Last week the anxious voters
crowded in at the rate of 25O day, but this
week they have been going at the rate of
400. Yesterday probably exceeded that
number, the Office being crowded to the
doors from early morning until the closing
hour, which was deferred later than usual.
To-day and tomorrow the crowds are ex-
pected to be even larger and it is probable
the office will be kept open tomorrow night
to accommodate the tardy ones
Chief Clerk Lewis remarked yesterday
that many who have heretofore depended
on the County Committee of their parties
for the payment of their taxes are this year
paying their own. The committees of both
the big parties have for several years past
been steadily wipiAg out the old practice of
paying county taxes for negligent or lndif-
ferent voters, and this year the number 80
paid is expected to be less than for many
years. The occupation tax is generally re-
garded as a back number among politicians,
and it is understood an effort will be made
to haye its abolition recommended in the
report Of the State Tax Conference.

Wealthy Poles to Send 81, 900, 900 to the
INDECENT untrymen-Immigrant Who
Need Educating.
Emil Habdank Dunikowski, professor of
philosophy and geology and dean of the
faculty of Temberg University, Poland, is
at the Monongahela House. The purpose
of the professors visit was fully told in yes
teTday's DISPATCH. He comes ostensibly
under the authority of committee of the
Chamber of Deputies, but this is mere
blind.
"You understand" Prof. Dunikowski
said yesterday, 'if the Russian Govern
ment knew the real purpose of my visit
here that my life would not be worth much.
The greatest need of the Polish people in
the United States is good schools. The
worst class of my countrymen come here.
"One OF the principal objects of my visit,
aside from the political one, is to take the
responsibility of caring for these very poor
Polish immigrants off the hands of the
United States. If I report favorably, fund
of over 81, ,000, 900 will be put at the disposal
of the United States for the betterment of
my countrymen. This will be disbursed as
the United States authorities see fit after
inquiring into the special cases. Poles are
very generous when it comes to assisting
their countrymen."
Professor Dunik ikowski will remain here
two days visiting the Poles and examining
into their manner Of living. A large mass
meeting will be held tonight at the Polish
street, which will be addressed by the pro-

A MINIATURE LOCOMOTIVE.

Beaver County Farmer Brings a Model
Engine for Exhibition-He' Spent Seven
Years Making It-Encountered Many
Difficulties in His Work.
H. Merriman, of Hopewell township,
Beaver county, has been working for
notoriety for a long time, and has at last
reached the the top of his ambitions He
is the sole maker, deviser and owner of a
miniature locomotive, fully equipped and
ready in its present condition to
be fred and sent on travel
It is not by any means small,
as it is built on a 22-inch guage. 1t is II
feet long and possesses capacity of six
horse power. The cylinders are AZ inches
in diameter with stroke of inches. The
boiler is TX inches in diameter and made
of fine steel plates 5-32 of an inch think.
The little locomotive has fue sheets 9-32 of
an inch thick. It is an eight-wheeler, with
driver 10 inches high. The boiler will
stand pressure of 40 pounds to the inch.
The tender is built in proportion.
Merriman is 81 years of age now. He
started to build his engine in 'S5, in the
little frame house on his farm, about four
miles from Woodlawn station. 1t took II
weeks to make the drawings, and II months
TO make Cne pattern. Ine only IOOl ne naQ
to work with was a penknife. Living SO
far from the city it took considerable time
to 60 back and forth in the search of tools.
Every one he used was made by himself as
well as the locomotive. One of tine
chief difficulties to be overcome was the
making of fan to work a forge with In.
stead of bellows
When the intricate piece of work was
only half finished his house took fire Mer-
riman lost everything, and the miniature
engine was damaged to the extent
of $1,000. 1t was at the time
ready for boiler, and the
upper works. He did not give up the work
and continued steadily until last week, when
he completed the job he had taken in hand
over six years and II months ago The old
man labored under many inconvenience
and lost much time and labor in making the
tools necessary to do the work. He says
they cannot be duplicated by any man in
the country.
The little locomotive attracted large
crowd Of curiosity seekers at the depot of
the Pittsburg and Lake Erie Railroad yes
terday morning where it arrived prior to
being placed on exhibition.

1t Is to Cost $500, 900 and BE the Repository
of Relics of the Rebellion - General
Headquarters for Military Organizations
Generous Subscriptions Received.
Colonel S. Bonnafou, of Philadelphis, is
in the city on business pertaining to the
founding of National War Museum. The
idea of establishing repository for all the
old battle flags, memorials and relics of the
late war was originated by the Loyal
Legion. The original purpose of the Legion
widened, until now the scheme provides for
a war library and a general headquarters for
all military organizations resulting from
the war. The structure, which is to be
most magnificent, is to cost $500. 900,
and will be located in Philadelphia The
site has not been chosen yet The greater
part of the money necessary will be OBJ
tained BY individual subscriptions Some
$50, 900 has already been advanced by men,
bers of the Loyal Legion. 1t was for the
soc:ation regarding this part of the matter
that Colonel Bonnafon came to this city.
This State as we'll as others is expected
to make appropriations for the fund. Penn
sylvania was the parent of the Loyal
Legion. 1t was in this State that the first
commandery was organized
The association is meeting with extra
ordinary success in the collection of money.
Several wealthy New York members said
they would not subscribe without first con-
sulting the war records at Washington.
This action seemed very strange to the
gentlemen who waited upon them, but was
explained afterwards by the receipt of
letter inclosing two checks; one for several
thousand dollars and the other for several
thousand, some hundreds, and even
went so far as to specify number of cents
In the letter the writer said he had written
on and found out how much the Govern
ment had paid him for his services during
the war, and having obtained the amount he
returned it to the Loyal Legion for the
worthy enterprise they had undertaken.
He said he also found he could spare few
dollars more. There have been
several cases similar to this.

ALL TROUBLE ENDED.
The Randall Club Bridges Their
Threatened Disruption.
SOME QUIET POLITICAL WORK.
The southsiders Have Try at the New
Voting System.
OTHER INTERESTING POLITICAL NEWS

The trouble in the Randall Club, which
for time threatened to disrupt the old
political organization, was temporarily ad-
justed last night, and the club will, it is
said, continue in existence. The trouble in
the club arose out of the failure of the
club to paw to ex-President Weixel nearly
81, 900 which he had advanced the organiza-
tion. Mr.. Weixel recently entered suit
against the club to recover and for a time it
was feared the clubs possessions would be
put to forced sale.
Last night the whole matter was referred
to committee composed of the directors of
the club. The committee was empowered
to act in the matter. Friends of the
organization Immediately rendered sufficient
money to pay all the indebtedness and to
place the club on a sound financial basis.
Caused by Disappointment.
The trouble in the Randall Club began in
the contest for officers nearly year ago.
At that time bitter fight occurred.
effort has been made to disrupt and disor-
ganize the club.
The regular meeting of the organization
was held last night. The designations of
T. B. Foley and Samuel P. Bellman as
trustees were accepted and the position Of
John O'Neil as trustee was declared vacant.
F. P. Iams. James H. Wallace and Charles
P Scott were elected to fill the vacancies.
An invitation was received from the
Democratic Committee of Morgantown, w.
Va, requesting the club to attend grand
reunion of the West Virginia Democrats.
VIII Meet Their Brothers.
A letter was received from the W. L.
Wilson tariff students of Wheeling, w Va,
stating that they would reach this city on
Saturday at 6 P. NJ. to participate
in the parade. The club will meet them at
the Baltimore and Ohio depot
A special meeting of the marching pha-
lanx of the club has been called for Fri
day at P. M. to take final action on
the question of turning out on Saturday
evening, and Committee on Finance was
appointed.
After the meeting the club members held
a jollihcation over their success in settling
the trouble in their organization.

FILLED WITH HOPE,
Fifth Avenue Residents Anxious About the
Disposal of the Market House.

Fifth Avenue Residents Anxious About the
Disposal of the Market House.
The people out in the neighborhood of
the Fifth avenue market house are highly
elated over the prospect Of its being taken
for High School purposes. Wherever one
may go in that part of the city
he hears the matter discussed. Opin-
ion is entirely one-sided. Everybody,
pr operty owners, tenants and business
men all alike, demand that the school au-
thorities be given precedence over the mill
tary. Chief Brown, it. is claimed, has
made more friends in that locality by his
stand on this question than his service at
the head of the Safety Department in five
years has made him. Chief Bigelow's posi-
tion is being watched closely, and if he
makes much of fight in favor of the mill
tary as against the High School the people
out there say they will declare against him
wherever possible.
A public meeting to boom the High
School idea was to have been held last
night in aiodge room on Fifth avenue, but
a misunderstanding about the hall caused a
postponement of the meeting until later
date. The intention is to have the meeting
addressed by residents who are thoroughly
acquainted with the situation and to get up
petition to Councils urging that the market
property be given to the High School.

MANY POLITICAL MEETINGS.
The Republicans Are Testing the Sentimen
Through Their Vigilants.

The Republicans Are Testing the Sentimen
Through Their vigilants.
'The constant crowd at our headquarters
each day does not bear out the general i'm
preston that this is a quiet campaign, I"
said George w. Miller, Secretary of the
Republican County Committee last
night. "We are holding meetings
in every part of the county. We have ap-
pointed Vigilance Committee in every dis
trict in the county, and our voting schools
are doing excellent work in the way of edu-
eating our people, which we are confident
will be greatly to our advantage on election
day. The Vigilance Committees Of Brad
dock borough and township and Rankin
borough will meet tonight in the postofice
building in Braddock. The Eleventh Ward
Vigilance Committee will meet in the ward
sch dollhouse tonight, and there are several
other quiet meetings billed for tonight.
These meetings create no stir, but they en-
able us to get at the real sentiment in the
various districts in the county, and we are
entirely content with the outlook.
''The two voting schools on the South
side, the one at the headquarters of the
Eleventh Ward Republican Club and the
one at McKeesport seem to be great att ac-
tions and promise great benefits.
