GOING BACK TO IRELAND.

John McGrath Tells Sad Story to the
Northside Poor Authorities.
John McGrath. aged about 81 years,
called at the Allegheny Department of
Charities yesteaday and after telling sad
story to Inspector Eichenlaub, asked for
transportation for himself and wife back to
Ireland.
Two years ago McGrath says he was a
fairly-well-to-do man living in Ireland and
drawing good pension from the English
Government, having served in several wars
for his country. A son and daughter had come
to America about ten years ago and To-
Gated on the Southside. They wrote him
and his wife such pressing letters to come
over to this country where work and money
were plenty, that he sold all his household
goods and other belongings, in including his
pension. About two wears ago he landed
here. He had shout s., 900 in money, but
the labor troubles threw his son and son-in-
law out of work and he had to keep them
all.
About four months ago he and his wife
moved to Shady avenue, Allegheny, and
although he says he has sought work con-
stsntly has been unable to find job Of
any kind His wife's health is-delicate and
she wants to go back to Ireland where two
of their sons live, and he thinks if they
get back there his wife will have better
health.
The case will be investigated by the
Public Charities Department this week.

WHOLESALE LAND FRAUDS.

The Commissioner Collecting Evidence
Against Big Corporations in Wisconsin
and Alabama-Homestead Laws Grossly
Gobbled.
General Bane, the successor of Tom Car
ter in the Land Office, passed through the
city last evening bound for Washington.
He has been in Wisconsin and Alabama for
the last three months investigating numer-
ous frauds by which wealthy corporations
have secured valuable coal and
iron lands. The Commissioner says
he has collected enough evidence
to show that many acres of tine best mineral
deposits in the country have been deliber-
ately stolen, and he promises wholesale
prosecutions to recover.
General Bane had Just come from Ala
bama. He says q number of corporations
have grossly violated the homestead laws,
and through them have secured possession
OF the land. When their experts were sat-
SIZED Of the presence of coal or iron in pay
ng quantities, they sent out men to take
up the land under the homestead
act. In some cases they built
small shanties for beir squatters, but in
many instances 20 people didn't live on
the land Tor dasT Then these men would
go before the county clerks and swear that
they had lived on the ground and cultivated
1t for the required number of years The
patents Obtained were promptly turned
over to the corporations. General Bane
declined to mention any names, but he said
some big companies had grabbed iron ore
deposits in Wisconsin in this way and he
hoped to be able to oust them.
While in Alabama the Commissioner met
G. L. Magee. He likes the local politician
and thinks he is q smart man, but his inter-
ference in the State made 1t hopelessly
Democratic. The people resented his ad-
vent as an intrusion. Coming through
Tennessee the other day the General had q
long talk with Senator Harris. The Sena-
tor thinks the party owes an extra session
to Cleveland and the Chicago platform to
repeal the Mckinley bill at once. The
Southern Democrats are anxious for free
trade and will insist on it.

A Wife Is Committed to Jail for Twenty
Days by Secretary Dorente.
The Anti-Cruelty Society yesterday had .
wife committed to Jail for 20 days in order
that her husband might live. Joseph Eg-
genstein lives on Elliott street, Bloomfield.
He has a wife and FIVE children, the eldest
18 and the youngest Z. Eggenstein is great
sufferer from inhammatory rheumatism and
has been unable to work for some time.
Poverty alone was hard enough to bear, but
this combined with the presence of mother
in the house who was always making tur-
moil was sufficient to drive the two eldest
children from home.
Under the influence OF drink the actions
of the woman threatened the life of the old
man, who is in q serious condition. The
elder children could not be persuaded to re-
turn to the house to nurse the father as long
as the mother was there. Secretary Do
rente, of the Anti-Cruelty Society, sent
Agent Fisher to investigate the case. which
resulted in the prosecution of the wife and
having her committed to Jail for 20 days
The older children are now nursing their

McCandless will be induced to withdraw

frequently stated before, that he will stay
in the fight to the finish.
Controller Morrow's position, 90 far as
any statement from him is concerned, is the
same it was a week ago. He declines to be
q candidate, though it is generally believed
he will accept q unanimous nomination.
The demand for him is widespread. Even
tine Democrats would prefer his renomina-

the Republican ticket they will put up q
full list of Democratic candidates
The McKennR Democrats seem to be
growing more confident each day. Not
long since they only claimed he could be
elected if pitted against McCand-
less. Now some of his supporters declare
he will win against Major Montooth or any
other man the Republicans may nominate.
One of McKenna's staunchest supporters is
County Chairman Bremen. He declared
last night that this was Demecratic year,

Congress May Urge the States to Suppress
the Pinkertons.
Judge Taylor, of Warren, one of the
members of the Homestead Congressional
Committee, was a passenger for Washing
ton last evening. The Judge saws the
Homestead matter will certainly be revived
and the report made. He had no objections
to having the report handed to Congress
last summer, but it is not for him to criti-
else the Democrats, or state the reasons why
they would not permit it The newspapers
had their own explanation, and they are
usually right
81 don't know" continued the Judge,
''but 1 suppose we will confer with the
Senate Committee about the Homestead af-
fair as matter of courtesy, but nothing
more. The two bodies are very independ-
ent and very jealous of their dignity,
you know. The truth is that Congress
can't do much. It is matter for
the States individually to pass
laws suppressing the Pinkertons, and the
States would. naturally resent any inter-
ference or recommendations from a commit
tee of Congress- We could certainly do no
harm in urging the States to wipe out the
private detective system. All that Congress
can do is to pass laws concerning inter-
State traffic, and put a stop to any interrupt
tion of such business by PinkertonA This
is the narrow plank we stand on, and the
committee will no doubt frame q bill en-
bodying the needed regulations
'As for the election, Homestead affected
the local result and helped the Democrats
in Eastern Ohio, especially in youngstown
and Cleveland, but don't think the riot is
responsible for the general slump. My
fear is that the Southern Democrats will
coerce the conservative Northern members
of their party into passing radical measures.
The tariff will be wiped out by the House,
and they can hardly wait to call an extra
session"

A Boy Whose Identity Is Still a Mystery
to Officials.
The boy, Charley Allen, who wss restored
to his mother several days ago at the De-
partment of Charities through the Anti
Cruelty Society, is causing one woman in
Pittsburg to have a heavy heart Mrs
Fisher, who thought that the boy was the
one which was taken from the Home for
Friendless, where she had placed him nine
years ago, still holds to the opinion that
Allen is her son. She described the color
of the boys hair, eyes and complexion, as
well as several marks on his face and body
to Agent Mcdonald and the police OF the
Soutbside, and examination proved that in
each detail she was correct Agent Nc
Donald, of the Southside branch of the
Anti-Cruelty Society, who had dealings
with the lad and Mrs. Fisher, is alsQ.G6Ef-
dent that Allen is her son. The 6fhcefs
who picked up the boy on the Southside
street as soon as they saw Mrs. Fisher at
once devined her mission from her striking
resemblance to young Allen.
Mrs. Fisher says she does not know
whether Mrs Allen claims the boy as her
son, but ii she does not she is sure that he
is her long lost son. Mrs Fisher is feeling
very badly in not having seen the lad
and intends to visit him at Glenfeld to sat-
isfy herself about the matter.

not legally elected. He says he has let

An Application for Right to Marry
Brings Out a Queer Story.
A DESERTED GIRL IN THE CASE.
The Court Appoints q Guardian for the
Pretty Bride and
Kow WEDDING BELLS RING MERRILY

Harry Craig and Mary Keefe applied to
Register Connor yesterday for q marriage
license. When the clerk found that Miss
Keefe was but 10 years old, he told the
couple that her parents would have to give
their consent before license could be is
sued. Miss Keefs then told an extraordi-
nary story, which was afterwsrd embodied
in petition presented to the court BY N.
E. Dorente for his appointment as guardian
for the young lady. Dorente had been
called upon BY the marriage license clerk
when he found the predicament which con-
fronted the couple.
The young girl said she was . daughter Of
Mrs Keefe, who was sent to the Workhouse
several weeks ago. Mrs. Keefe was at one
time noted for her remarkable beauty
and the daughter has inherited
her physical charms About ten
years ago the father deserted the mother,
leaving her penniless with young daugh-
ter to provide for. The uncle of tine young
lady was kind to the deserted family, and
short time after the father left had Mary
Keefe placed in charitable institution.
The young girl had been in the home but
short time when the uncle eloped with her
mother to parts unknown, leaving her alone
in the world.
A lady who happened to visit the insti-
tuition took . great liking for pretty Mary,
and persuaded the authorities to allow her
to adopt the girl This was done, but after
several years the family in which she lived
being reduced in circumstances, Mary was
compelled to shift for herself Since then
she has been knocked about from post to pill
lar, working hard for living, until she
met Harry Craig. It was a case of love at
first sight. and the elimination was the ap-
plication for marriage license made yes
terday. The license was granted.
