For diversified resources as destination
for excursionistS, Wheeling, W. Va, prob
ably offers more than any other place ad-
iacent to Pittsburg. In Wheeling one can
get anything. What is more, the excursion
lists do get everything; that is, they do who
60 there upon such delightful day as was
yesterday.
There is pleasant ride over tine Balti-
more and Ohio in the cool of the morning
and you are treated 70 fine view Of a
great agricultural and industrial country.
Hundreds o. Pittsburgers took the trip yes-
terday, more than comfortably filling long
train Of cars.
Upon arrival there is much to do. There
is Sam Harrison to see and listen to his
good and bad jokes, which he always tries
on the bell boys before serving regular
dinner at the Mcclure House. Then there
are the funny looking electric cars to look
at, as they traverse the residence districts;
the City Hall with its coal painted base to
look at, and the new bridgeAcross the creek
to See and the cafes to visit and the splendid
residences to admire, and the fair daughters
to ogle and the boys to 1irt with and the
parks to visit and the river to view, and
the many other things to do, see and hear
that constitute a day in Wheeling. The
park takes up the best part of the day, as it
is beautiful, cool and remarkable.
The Pride OF AL W heeliuG People.
The park of which the city boasts was
laid out at the dictation of the spirits from
the other world, and is without exception
one of the most wildly beautiful corners Of
the earth. The ground 10 rolling and

LAST OF THE SEASON.

Council Meeting To-Day-The Poor Farm
Deal Will Be Closed and Many Con-
tracts Approved-Elec.ricL Light at City
Hall Inc uded.
The last regular meeting of Pittsburg
Councils before the two-months' summer
vacation will be held this afternoon and,
as there is large mass of routine business
to be transacted, there will be no lack of q
quorum. The most important matter to re-
ceive attention will be the ordinance to
purchase Captain Neeld's property on Char
tiers creek for a poor farm. At the Chari-
ties Committee meeting the other day the
ordinance was read over-that procedure
passing for consideration of the measure.
1t will be presented to-day and referred to
the committee, which will withdraw from
the chamber and vote to afiirmatively recon-
mend it. Then it will be taken back to
Councils and passed. So far as known
there will be only two or three votes against
it In either branch, and possibly none at all.
Chief Bigelow having satisfied the Mayor
and Controller that he will make use of the
$4,000, 600 feet of free gas due the city from
the Pitrsburg Gas Company, those officials
will not further oppose the lighting of
City Hall with electricity and the Chiefs
award of the contract to the electric light
company will be approved by Councils so
that the prevailing darkness above the
municipal building can be dispelled to-
morrow. Mr.. Bigelow has also a large
number of contracts for street and other
improvements which will receive Council
manic sanction. Among these will be the
contract for building fancy band stand
and a shelter at Schenley Park. 1t had
been intended to have these buildings up
for the celebration next Monday, but it can
hardly be done now.
The disagreement between the Mayor and
Councils as to his right to approve con-
tracts will probably remain unsettled until
after the summer vacstion. The Finance
Committee has not held a meeting since
Council last met, and although the City At
torney has written an opinion supporting
the position of Councils, it has not been
considered.

BREAKING THE RECORD.
The Number Of Violent Deaths In Allegheny
County for This Month May Exceed in
Number the Victims Of tho Oil Creek

The Number Of Violent Deaths In Allegheny
County for This Month May Exceed In
Number the Victims Of tho Oil Crock
Calamity.
The present month of June seems destined
to make new record for the number of
violent or sudden deaths. Up to last night
there had been SO such deaths reported to
Coroner Mcdowell, and but 26 days have
elapsed. The greatest number of deaths
have been due to drowning, and that cause
is followed very closely BY those due to oil
explosions The very first death OF the
month was from that cause, and, sad to re-
late, it was the death of the Coroner's
own brother, William Mcdowell, who was
fatally burned in an heroic effort to save the
property of his landlord threatened by de-
struction from lamp explosion.
From that time on scarcely day went by
thas q death from similar cause was not
reported from some point of the two cities
or county. The total number will proba-
bly equal those who met death by burning
oil in either Oil City or Titusville, and at
a calamity. Steam railways, too, have
caused many deaths, and together with the
suicides. of which there were more than
usual, will nearly make up the list. The
heat has caused some half dozen, but not
more than is very often the case in the sum-
mer months.
Coroner Mcdowell said last night he
thought the total sudden deaths for the
month would finally exceed any heretofore
in the history of the county.

mounds, small hills and dales abound.
Looking inward from the gates, which
stand upon level with the street, the eve
is met by long, graceful avenues, fringed
with trees, bushes and flowers from almost
every cline. The varying shades of green
mingle in strange contrasts, and as breath of
air comes from the dense grove, ladened with
the sweet perfumes of magnolias, pines and
forest flowers, the senses seem to float
away into some delightful land of dreams,
while the sweet strains from an excellent
band steal family to the ears.
The property was owned until some Is
years ago by peculiar individual named
Hornbrook. His idle hours were spent in
Loneliness and communing with nature. His
home was humble little cottage that still
stands, shadowed by towering oaks, heavily
foliaged naples, sweet-smelling magnolias
and graceful pines, a great distance back
from the street. His nature was as soft,
lovable and pacific as were the silent objects
pered, gentle spoken lady, lived as did her
husband, and their hours were unsullied
with unknd thoughts or harsh words.
Obryed the Commands OF Spirits.
The old gentleman embraced spiritualism
ere the white hair came in to contrast the
black, and soon after his wife also was con-
FcTtcu. 1udLy StTduSc Idlcb arc tolu VI Guc
communions held with those long since de-
parted As time moved on the old gentle
man turned his strange belief into channels
of practicability. He sought the advice of
spirits regarding the transplantation of
trees and shrubs He questioned and they
answered. At their dictation he sent to
far off China and other alien lands and OBJ
tanned the roots of strange trees. He
planted these in spots pointed out to him
by his unseen friends, and they fourished
and grew. He transplanted the East Indian
gum tree, banana trees, cocoanut, palms
and others that to-day bear living
testimony TO his work. .~.>
A vein of humor pervaded him and when
he opened his magnificent possessions to
the excursionists he posted at the beginning
of lanes, and in dales and grottoes, pict-
uresque signs Some read, "This way for
sweethearts," "a lane where love turks
"a delightful nook for whispers, "None
will overhear your Kisses" "Hugging here
is unforbidden," ''Drink to your loves
long life, )" and many curious similar ones.

PICNICS In THE PARK.

Families Camp Ont for tho Day in
schenley's Shady Groves-Thousands of
Promenaders in the Evening Throng
the Walks at Highland and in Alle-
gheny.
Thousands thronged the parks yesterday.
The manifold charms, natural and other
wise, of picturesque Schenley, attracted the
largest number of pleasure-seekers, but a
large contingent journeyed out to the green
clad slopes of Highland, and promenaded
the pleasant walks of the Allegheny Parks.
The crowd at Schenley was well-dressed,
contented and thoroughly democratic one.
Old men with gray boards and bent should
ers, young men with budding mustaches
and gaudy cravats, old women in somber
black gowns, young matrons and maids in
CAV attire and swarms of happy children
were the component parts of the throng
Everybody seemed inspired with the desire
to make the most Of his or her outing and
for once everybody succeeded. During the
morning hours a large number of families
arrived and camped out for the day and pic
nicked under the welcome shadows of the
trees But the bulk of the crowd
came in the afternoon and early eventide.
To the men at least the most notable feature
of the dav was the girls. There we're girls
and girls and girls. Even that venerable
party, the oldest citizen, could
not recall anything to equal this marvellous
grouping of fair and fragile femininity.
There were all kinds and conditions ofgirls,
from the dainty brunette to the
blonde. There were girls,
the coloring of whose cheeks rivalcd
the pink rosebuds at their belts, and others
with no color at all save the varied tints of
their frocks. Some were decked in the
masterpieces of artistic dressmakers and
some trusted to their natural charms and
were clad in a simple raiment of white. 1t
was a golden opportunity. for glorious
woman, and, like the sensible creature that
she is, she made the most of it. The crowd
came early and stayed late, and it was close
on to midnight when the last couple lett
the place, and tired nature and the jaded
elephant were left to themselves 1t was a
glorious Sunday, and even the animals ap-
preciated and enjoyed 1t.

ALLEGHENY'S EXODUS.
Going Out or Town Saturday and Returning
Sunday Evening-Parties Made Up for
Ellwood and Other Points Along the

Going Out OF Town Saturday and Returning
Sunday Evening-Parties Made Up for
Ellwood and Other Points Along the
Connoquenessing.
As many as can afford it in Allegheny
shake off the dust of the city every Sunday.
Some even leave the city Saturday evening
The Pittsburg and Western road has the
heaviest travel on Sundays. That road runs
along the Connoquenessing for. about 20
miles, and that is great Sunday camping
ground. The ticket agent at the Allie
gheny depot said that yesterday the
road carried about 400 people to these
weather. citizens to Ellwood. The Como
quenessing is a great place for camping
clubs and parties to go and spend Sunday.
They put in the day in the woods be-
tween Zelienople and Ellwood. No ex-
cursion trains are run, but the regular
trains are always crowded.
At the West Penn depot a similar story
was told One of the men there said the
road usually carried 150 picnickers out at
noon, but in the evening they bring back
between 400 and 500. The greater part Of
them 60 out Saturday night and return
SUNDAY evening. The most of them go out
beyond Tarentum, but large numbers 20 to
Guyasuta to play baseball
The Fort Wayne road also does a big Sun
day business, especially in the neighbor-
hood OF Rock Point. This road carries
from 500 to 500 Sunday visitors There are
also large numbers who go out Saturday and
return Sunday night.
All the Allegheny street railways did a
big business, too, yesterday. Spring Hill
was like an immense beef garden. Whole
families were out there spending the day
and the majority of them had their beer
with them. There were also number of
baseball games going, but there was very
little disorder. Further out Spring Garden
avenue there were also number of family
picnics. In fact, there was not a grove within
easy reach of Allegheny that was not SO

In view of the fact that so many were

through supposed lack of space and the
poor accommodation accorded the press rep
