TO ROB THE LIMITED.

Unknown Persons Place Ties Upon the
Track. Near Enon Valley, and Attempt
to Wreck tho Chicago Limited West
Bound-No One Injured.
An attempt was made, night before last,
to wreck the Chicago limited at Enon
valley, 45 miles west of Pittsburg, on the
Fort Wayne road. Unknown persons placed
ties upon the track. The intention was to
rob the train when the slaughter
of human beings occurred by the wreck.
A farmer named Adams, who was walking
time to save the train. While he was try
ing to remove the obstructions two shots
were fired at him, one taking effect In his
leg and the other in his hat
Two men named Krause and Kirwin were
arrested. They were released yesterday
morning because of the insuficiency OF
the evidence to hold them. 1t is thought by
the attorney for the Western lines that
either someone connected with the com.
pany or the gang of Western toughs are
the cause of the late excitement. Farmer
Adams claims that they kept firing steadily
at him until he called to them that he
knew them, then they fled. The ALLIE
gheny police think that the story of Farmer
Adams Is improbable.
Late last night no further arrests had
been made, and the police think that the
attempt to wreck the train was the work oi
someone connected with the road or some.

limited carried money that night A
strict watch will be kept by the company,
as this thing seems to have affected their
traffic considerably between Chicago and
New York Every effort is being made,
also, by the Allegheny police to secure q
clew to the identity of the men who at.

A WHOLE FAMILY WRECKED.
Agent OPBrisn Has Much Trouble Look-
ing After the Little Ones

Agent OBrien Has Much Trouble Look-
ing After the Little Ones
Agent O'Brien, of the Humane Society,
spent the whole of yesterday searching for
15-year-old girl named Lizzie Brown, over
whom he has had his fatherly care ever
since her father died at the Mercy Hospital
some years ago. She was one Of four chill
dren and after the death of the father,
Agent O'Brien took charge Of the little
ones, as he did not consider the mother the
proper person to take care of them.
Agent O'Brien succeeded in keeping the
girl in the straight path until about year
ago, when the mother, who had not been
living with her family for four years, came
around for the girl, pleading that she could
not live without her daughter. Agent
O'Brien would not give up Lizzie, but the
mother got into the girls good graces and
took her away from. the place where she
was staying. The two rented q room on
Fifteenth street, where they lived together
grand fight occurred in which the police in
terfered and broke up the household.
Lizzie again came into Agent O'Brien's 8
hands and he endeavored to reform her. He
had great difficulty with her for she did not
act right in any of the positions he OBJ
tanned for her She escaped from him
again Yesterday and led him wild goose
chase all over the city. The mother is now in
theworkhouse on 60 days sentence and Liz
zie's brother was picked up on the street,
in Bloomfield, by the police and taken to
the station house. Agent O'Brien will
send him to the New York Protectorate for
boys The other two boys are in an orphan
asylum in the city.

ACCEPTED THE DECISION,

Manager Metz.ar, OF the Telephone Com
pany, Applies for Exemption from Tax
ation-PeremptoriIy Refused by tho
ControlIer-Morrow Ready to Go to the
Supreme Court
Telephone Company, sought yesterday to Sc
cure exemption from city taxes on the same
ground that several other big corporations
have within few days taken advantage Of
The claim was peremptorily refused by
Controller Morrow. Mr.. Metzgar was not
unreasonable. He admitted that his COM
pany should pay taxes and it would not be
fair to the citizen property owners to grant
the wished for exemption. On the other
hand, the telephone company was as much a
public corporation as water, light or gas
company, and consequently as much en-
titled to exemption.
With all his eloquent persuasiveness Mr..
Metzgar argued the merits of his claim, but
the Controller steadfastly refused to be con-
vinced.
II believe the reasoning of the Supreme
Court on this point is that public corpora
tion is one which supplies some tangible
thing for the consumption of all who are
willing to pay for it,, said the Controller.
''In the case of q telephone company it
only rents or leases its service There is
no consumption and nothing to consume. I
positively refuse to approve such an ex-
emption and will 60 to the Supreme Court
to settle it if your company fails to pay"
Mr.. Metzgar pressed the claim no fur
ther. He seemed satisfied that the exemp-
tion could not be secured without fight and
said he would not bother any further
about it.
No other claims were filed yesterday by
corporations The assessors would have
little to say. Assessor Case denied that the
board had list of exempted corporation
property taxes footing up S125, 900, but in
quiry at the delinquent tax office showed
that such list had been prepared there
and was certified to the assessors several
days ago.
There was some talk yesterday of an ac-
tion against several corporations which re-
fused to pay taxes some years ago, in which
the city came out victorious. Investiga-
tion showed that case to have no bearing on
the present situation. The Pennsylvania
Railway Company was the defendant in
that suit Thomas Phelps, then Delinquent
Tax Collector, allowed the company to run
along several years until its taxes amounted
to nearly $500, 900. When the case was
taken into court the company fought des-
perately, and its best legal talent was
brought into the csse, but Me- Phelps won

second is the display of natural gas in all

main building, and every detail has been
carefully attended to for the entertainment

expect. Back of the bandstand have been
arranged large number of mirrors, which
will make dazzling effect on account of
the multiplicity of lights. The gas has

hibition would prove the most instructive

ments will be highly instructive as they

Representatives of several local labor
organizations congregated in Trades As

the meeting was to consider the proposition
to have the city refuse the acceptance of the

mode of procedure and it was finally de-
