THE WOMEN TO ORGANIZE.

Believers In Female Suffrage to Hold q
Meeting in Pittsburg soon-They viii
Trv to Have Some Obnoxious Laws Re-
pealed This Winter.
The women's suffrage movement in West
ern Pennsylvania is about to experience a
boom. The Pittsburg Women's Suffrage
Association, which is % years old, will
within couple of weeks hold public meet
ing, the object of which will be reorganiza-
tion and the arrangement of plan of work
for the winter The fact of it being Presi-
dental YEAR makes the work for the season
of special importance.
Miss Matilda Hindman, President of the
Pittsburg association and Vice PresidenG for
Pennsylvania in the Women's National Fed
eral Suffrage Association, was seen yester-
day at her home on Sandusky street, ALE
gheny: "Yes," she began. 1--WE mean to re-
organize in few weeks; an exact date has
not yet been decided on, nor has place of
meeting been fixed. The latter, however,
will probably be one of the large churches
of the city. We will bring men as well as
women into the association, as L find in the
city the number of men who believe in the
eniranchisement of women is quite as large
as that of women.
1--WE shall have an Advisory Board COM
posed entirely of gentlemen and an Execu-
tive Committee composed of ladies and gen.
tlemen. Throughout the months of October
and November we will hold meetings in the
two cities. The object is to create
public interest in our behalf and organ
1Ze the friends of the movement for active
work. Public speakers will be here to ap-
pear in behalf of women's suffrage. A
society will be organized in each Congress
sionai district, and public meetings will be
held throughout the winter. Beside secur-
ing personal supporters for the movement,
there will be considerable legislative work
done. An effort will be made to secure the
repeal OF certain laws oppressive to women.
have promised to go to Harrisburg next
winter and interview the members of the
Legislature in regard to their repeal. They
are laws in regard to women wage workers,
and that is positively all 1 am at liberty to
disclose in regard to the Legislative mission.
Gas to the strength of women's suffrage in
Western Pennsylvania, do not know ex-
actly. Sentiment in its favor has been grow
ing very rapidly"

POWERS Is. NOT DEAD.
He SpOils the Identification of a
Corpse by Declaring
1T WAS NEVER INHABITED BY HIM.
The Dead Man Suspected of Having Been
an Industrious Burglar.
INVESTIGATING SEVERAL R0BBERIES

A remarkable case of mistaken identity
was developed at the morgue last night.
Two relatives of William Powers, one of
whom had seen him only three days ago,
positively identified the body of the man
found on the tracks at Wall station Satur-
day morning as that of Powers. Several
other acquaintances and friends of Powers
were equally positive in the belief that the
body was his.
The dead man was about SO years of age,
broad-chested, powerful-looking person with
short black hair, low forehead and short,
black mustache. He was about 81 feet in
height and would weigh probably $50
pounds The clothing was that OF a tramp,
and the palms of the hands were as soft as
woman's. In the pockets were found q
join ted burglars Jimmy, \ loaded revol yer,
two razors and razor strop, When properly
put together the Jimmy would form power
ful lever.
Within the past week several burglaries
have been committed around Wall station
and Turtle Creek. In each case entrance
had been effected by the use of a Jimmy or
similar instrument. At one private dwell
ing, occupied by former resident Of this
jewelry. a barber at Wall and one at
Turtle Creek were both robbed OF razors
and other tools of their trade.
BURGESS Slemmons was requested by the
the marks made by the burglar in his visits
at Turtle Creek anu Wall, the presumption
being that If the tool fit the marks the dead
man was the burglar. The Burgess will re-
port the result of his investigation to the
Coroner to-day.
On Saturday evening two acquaintances Of
Powers, who is puddIer and resides with his
sister in the West End, called at the morgue
and said the body was Powers. Later
Andrew McGraw, q brother of Powers de-
ceased wife, also identified the body.
Coroner Mcdowell had known Powers some
years ago and he, too, was satisfied OF the
identity of the body, but in order to satisfy
the law completely he sent for another rela-
tive who had seen Powers only few days ago
and several other close friends of his. They
were unanimous In saying the body was that
of Powers and the Identification was con-
sidered complete.
Grant Miller, the Coroner's clerk, there
upon went to the house where Powers has
been making his home to notify the rela-
tives of his death. As he entered the house
the first man Miller saw, sitting composedly
on chair, was William Powers.
After recovering from his surprise the Cor
oner's clerk explained the situation and
returned to the morgue in time to counter
mand the subpBnas issued for an inquest
this morning. An effort will be made to es-
tablish the dead mans identity after Bur-
CESS Slemmons reports to-day.

Got Here In Great Shane.

A special train of five cars, consisting of
two baggage, two coaches and one sleeper,
rolled into the Baltimore and Ohio depot
last evening with the Thomas Q. Seabrooke
Comic Opera Company on board in fine
trim and health, and exuberant over the
quick run the train had made from Phila-
delphia direct. The train was duly decor
ated with the banners of the organization
and was the sensation of the road along the
entire run. Mr.. Seabrooke was perhaps the
happiest in the party over the great fortune
that has overtaken him in the now popular
opera and uncommonly good company.

WHEELING AFTER BETTER WATER.

The City Engineers Come to Pittsburg in
Search of Information.
F. L. Hoge, City Engineer, and his assist

Monongahela House yesterday. They came
here to inspect the local water works.
Wheeling is putting in a new plant to cost
$3.50, 900. Two Holly pumps with a capacity
of 100000 gallons daily apiece have been

A Novel Exhibition.

The Brothers DeGray gave a private
hypnotic exhibition yesterday afternoon aJ
Harry Davis Eden Musee. A large number
of medical gentlemen were in attendance,
and did their utmost to detect flaw in the
mesmerists' work. The exhibition was an
extraordinary one to a great extent. The
selt-inficted tortures on the f1eshy portions
of the body OF both men produced sensa-
tion among those present. One man was
taken from the Musee i'll a faint condition
after witnessing the peculiar work of the

OLD-TIME CAMPAIGNERs,
Judge kirkpatrick and Tom Marshall Were
Popular on the stump.


Now that the campaign has opened several
gentlemen were speaking yesterday of old
time stump speakers. The party agreed
that in their palmy days Glorious Old Tom
Marshall and Judge Kirkpatrick were hard
to beat. They could stir up an unlimited
amount of enthusiasm and were in great de-
mand.
An incident in Mr.. Marshall's career was
related by one of the men. 1t was at the
close of the war, ana the criminal lawyer
was making a speech to a large crowd at
Tarentum. He spoke of the great army the
North had raised, and gave the credit for
the victory over the South to the Repub-
lican party. Tom usually addresses an audi
ence in Allegheny county as made up
OF his friends and neighbors In this in
stance he was free with the people, and he
invited them to ask him any question on the
issues OF the day, and he would try to an
swer. An Irishman in the rear piped out:
"Where were you, Mr.. Marshall, during the
war?" Quick as flash he replied: 81 was
compelled to remain at home to keep such
rogues you out OF the penitentiary." The
laugh was on the other fellow, and after
that none of his auditors tried to trip up
glorious old orator.
