To back this statement he again gets off
the old school land story having been
consumed by the general fund. That in
1877, Mr.. French ascertained that the city
was indebted to the school fund S1l0,S00,
and he tries to leave inference that the
city had actually used all this money
from 1852 down to 1877. when the fact
was that the land then sold on 80 years
credit-out of the money realized free
school was kept up for some years, the
old courthouse and bastile were built, and
the bridge over the river on Commerce
street paid for, but a large amount of the
principal was paid in worthless confeder-
ate money, that remained in the city
treasury until 1877. At any rate not a
dollar was used or made available from
this fund TO run the current expenses of
the city and Mr.. Callaghan should know
| it, and not make such an idiotic state
| m-nt TO the people.

There is little else in Mr.. Ca!laghan's
address that needs notice: hut he says
1.-THE object in raising the S250,00O iS.rot to
pay the National bank" Why not? Is
not the debt to the National bank as
great an emergency as the patrol men or
the poor Scavenger?" But he gives an
other reason, that times are hard and
money scarce is another reason that
prompted me to advocate the is
sue; for it is just at these crit
ical moments that governments should
spend money in assisting the suffering
masses" This is pure demagogery. The
people don't pay money for taxes, make
bonded debt for charity. If its charity

list for public subscription. People don't

A Long List of Marital Difficulties for the
Bench to Pass Upon.
PROCEEDINGS OF THE COUNTY COURTS

Angus Mckay yesterday entered suit
against William Mckay and wife, Anna
Mckay, for SIS, 500 damages for alleged con-
spiracv. The plaintiff claims that in 1888
he was located in Helena, Mont, and had
paying business. His brother, William
Mckay, however, wrote to him, and by
promises that he could clear $4,000 a year,
induced him to come to McKeesport
to go into the liquor business. He
came and purchased the lease and
liquor license of hotel, and his
brother and his wife, in furtherance of their
alleged conspiracy, got him to install them
in the place to manage it, making him be-
lieve that his health was bad.
He also gave his brother William power
of attorney. They then induced him to go
to the Hot Springs for his health, where he
remained six months, When he returned
he found that his brother had obtained the
lease to the hotel and the liquor license and
was conducting the place for himself They
threatened him with arrest on various
charges, and by so doing induced him to as
sign his rights to the place to Mr.. and Mrs.
William Mckay. He now accuses them of
conspiring against him and places the dam
ages at S15, 500.

But From the Outlook Drummers Will
Hustle for Rooms This Week.
1t has been long time since the registers
of the Pittsburg hotels presented such a
dearth of names as they did yesterday. Up
to 5 o'clock in the afternoon nobody had
registered at the St. Charles, and the other
houses Jared very little better ffIn my 10
wears experience as a hotel clerk" said
Captain Orcutt, 81 never knew such thing
to occur in Pittsburg, but it is easily ex-
planned. Friday was a holiday, and peo-
pie are waiting for the first of the week be-
fore they start out.
At the Anderson E. E. Bonneville, the
clerk on duty, remarked that the business
was a little slow after New Years, but he
exhibited a pile of letters and telegrams
from commercial men asking for rooms
"The rush out of New York, " he continued,
"will commence Sunday evening. This
house will be packed on Monday. and it
will keep US busy furnishing rooms until
June. ] suppose fully 5000 drummefs
travel from New York yearly. They don't
all stop in Pittsburg, but many of them do.
Merchants are now getting ready for their
spring trade, and business will be lively
from this out. The first batch of agents
selling straw hats reached the city from the
East about week ago. Everybody wants
a sample room, and as fast as they are given
up there are others to take them.

Gentlemen, 1 want to ask you question.
Well, what is it? Where do you get so
much trade from? You don't advertise ex-
tensively and none at all outside of the city,
and yet you are always crowded From the
heart of the cities, from under the nose of our
competitors, within stones throw of the
Oldest stores. we cater for class of trade
that knows the value of merchandise. That's
why so many clerks from other stores trade
here. Do you know that it's no trouble for
us to sell to people that are posted? Now
there is a henrietta cloth at 69c yard that
a lady who knows value buys on sight. If
she's not posted, then it's an effort to sell to
sell to her. That 25c towel there, of which we
sell over 200 dozen a week, and which has
no equal in value in either city, is bought
in an instant by lady that knows bargain,
but if she is not posted then she hesitates
and asks if they are not 25c pair Then
you feel like kissing" her Yes, we cater
only for the intelligent buyers; they buy
quick and it's no trouble to wait on them at
Thornton Bros. cash store, Allegheny, 12s
Federal street.

Mr.. McFeeley Saws Cheap Ones Are Not
Worth the Price of the Paper.
Thousands of dollars are spent annually
bv business men in calendars said Man
ager c. A. McFcelv, of the Massachusetts
Mutual Life Insurance Company, yesterday.
''DoeS such d form of advertising pay :?
Well, my experience has been that unless
they are first-class, calendars are not worth
the paper they are printed on. If they are
not attractive and have no unique features.
they are thrown into the waste basket, and
represent so much lost. Cheap calendars
certainly don't pay, and if man wants to
advertise his business in this way, he must
Issue an expensive one or none at all. "
Mr.. McFeely need not hesitate about
giving one of his company's calendars to
anybody. They probably cost 81 apiece,
and consist of II pieces of fine card board,
on each of which some event in the history
o. the 13 original States is beautifully illus
trated. An explanation from American
historians is printed OH the back. Major
Il. C. Patterson, the florist, is also dis
tributing very pretty calendar. 1t is
made up of a number of fine steel engrav-
lngs appropriate to each month.

DOWN ON CANAL PROJECTS.
MIR. shively Says the Democrats Will Make
Short Work of the Erie Schrme-How
His Party Hopes to Curry Favor With
tha


the People.
Congressman Shively, of South Bend,
Ind, one of the Democratic members of
the Ways and Means Committee, was at the
depot last evening, returning to Washing
ton. He is son-in-law of ex-Solicitor
General George A. jerks, and the latter
came down from Brookville to see Mr..
Shivelv and his wife.
'Is Mr.. Shively Democrat" asked THE
DISPATCH man of Mr.. jerks in Joking
way.
'tWell, he wouldn't be a son-in-law of
mine, if he wasn't" replied the staunch
disciple of Andrew Jackson, and then he
smiled the smile for which he is noted.
Mr.. Shively is a Young man, but he
has already made his mark, and is
recognized as one of the Democratic lead
ers. He said he hadn't conferred with his
colleagues, but he believes in attacking the
tariff at once by piecemeal, as Chairman
Springer suggests. He denied that Crisp
and Mills differed, in their tariff views
The Speaker, ne said, was as much in favor
of tariff reform as the Texan. The tariff is
a necessary evil, but Mr.. Shively thinks it
should be made as light as possible for the
people.
1.-The Democrats will make short work of
many of the appropriation bills during the
session." continued the Congressman. ''The
salary list of the Government can't be cut
down, but the civil sundry bill will be
slaughtered. Canal schemes and public
buildings won't receive much favor
''This augurs i'll for the canal project
from this city to the lakes, in which so
many Pittsburgers are interested" sug.
gested the reporter.
''1cs, our policy will be hard on the Erie
Canal bill, and the people here can't expect
anything from this House. The Democrats
will make no determinations
Mr.. Shively concluded by saying that
the Indiana Democrats were booming Grav
for first place on the ticket, and nobody is
discussed out there for the Vice Presidency.
He is a Gray man, while his distinguished
father in law is a warm supporter of
Cleveland.

plished something of value as well for itself

Israel H. Bumback, by his father, B.
Rumback, filed snit against the Pittsburg
Traction Company yesterday asking for
1000 damages. He claims that on Decem-
Der Z. 1891, he boarded Fifth avenue car,
and, after having paid his fare once, the
conductor demanded an additional nickel
for basket. He refused, and, in conse-
quence, was thrown from the car and Sc
verely injured. He claims further that he
was disabled for long time, and that his
expenses for said disability was $500.

FEARS TROUBLE NEXT FALL.
John M. Langston Afraid of Senator Hill
and Speaker Crisp-BIaine Will Dictate
the Nomination Rather Than Take 1t,
in His ODiniou.

John M. Langston Afraid of Senator Hill
and Speaker Crisp-BIaine Will Dictate
the Nomination Rather Than Take 1t,
in His Opinion.
John NJ. Langston, the colored Repub-
lican of Virginia, was a passenger on the
fast line last evening going home. He had
been to Akron, where he delivered the ora
tion at the emancipation celebration
of the colored people. Mr.. Langs-
ton thinks he was in Ohio long
enough to learn that Foraker
would probably be the next Senator. He
considers the fire-eater very adroit poll
tician, and his canvass shows that the work
vas well managed. The young men, the
energy and bone and sinew of the party,
are for Foraker, and this is why Mr..
Langston believes he will be successful.
Switching off to national politics, the
colored leader said: 81 think Blaine will
support Harrison. 1 know the former is
immensely popular, but isn't his position
stronger as debating the nomination than
accepting it himself, and being defeated?
He would certainly be knocked out. Blaine
has been in politics too long, and he
couldn't be elected. The Democratic party
is stronger to-day than at any time
since the war The Democracy has two
able leaders in Hill and Crisp. The party
has grown very liberal, and I am afraid
they will beat us next fall. If the Repub-
hcans win, they must have their best men
in charge of the campaign. I don't see how
it is possible for us to carry New York.
Hill will probably be the Democratic can
didate, and his own State will
be secure. In the West the
people are united under the leadership OF
Senator Stewart, and they demand free sill
yer, which is Democratic doctrine. In the
face OF these facts we will have a hard time
trying to elect the next President, whoever
he may be.
Gas for Virginia, we have too
many white leaders in the party.
Malone, Bowden and Grady all
want to be recognized, The colored
people are united, if we could only get the
whites in line. The party leader must be a
man of means and have influence with the
white people. Though Malone has turned
me down, and at times felt bitter toward
him, 1 recognize the fact that he is the best
man for the place. Under Mahone's leader
ship we can carry Virginia for the Repub-
lican party'

A Suit for False Arrest,

John Dugan yesterday entered suit
against the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Companyfor $4,000 damages for alleged false
arrest. He stated that on December 16 he
was passenger on train coming from
Connellsville to Pittsburg. A telegram was
sent by R. F. Sheppard, an officer of the
company, to the officers at McKeesport,
directing them to arrest a man whose de-
scription was given. The conductor of the
train pointed out Dugan as the man, and he
was arrested, taken from the train and
locked up for three hours without any
cause. For this he wants damages.
