A CENTER AVENUE KICK

Against Paying the Contract Price for the
Street Improvements-A Point in the
Supreme Court Decision to Be Thor
oughIy Tested To-Day.
A number Of property holders on Center
avenue are making preparations to test in
the Supreme Court the city's right to assess
their property for the paving of that thor
oughfare at the contract price under which
the work was done. They get the basis for
their action in an intima tion from the Su-
preme Court in the decision which sustained
the curative act of 1891. On that decision
the court gave the opinion that the act con-
templated that assessments should be made
upon the basis of quantum meruit, with the
qualification, however, that the contract
itself was some evidence of the cost and
should be considered by the viewers.
The parties to the proposed Center avenue
action claim that the viewers appointed to
assess damages and benefits under the
curative act are ignoring all evidence of
Quantum meruit except that referred to by
the Court-the evidence of the contract.
tract is not an evidence of the cost, for the
reason that the contract price is greatly and
excessively beyond the actual cost unrea-
sonably more than they should be expected
to pay. They claim that about S. go per
square yard was charged for block paving,
and that in Philadelphia the same work is
done for about one-half that amount. The
character of the work is also assailed as
being inferior throughout.
The viewers on this improvement were ap-
pointed last November, but for some reason
their work was suspended soon after they
began and has only been resumed within a
short time. 1t is expected they will make
their report inside the next ten days, and
soon after it is presented to the court objec-
tions will be filed and proceedings begun. A
fund is being literally subscribed BY the
Center avenue people and they intend to
employ the best legal talent obtainable to
follow the case to the Supreme Court.

ALLEGHENY MAGISTRATES.
The Ordinance Was Never Considered, but
Will Be Soon.

At the next meeting of the Allegheny Fl
nance Committee the subcommittee ap-
pointed last summer to draft an ordinance
for the appointment of police magistrates
will make its report. The subject has never
been before Councils. The first bill drawn
up by the subcommittee was found to be
unsatisfactory to some, as the boundary
lines of the police districts cut through sew
eral wards. Accordingly, another one will
be drawn up and presented with the first,
fixing the lines so that if there are five dis
tricts they will be as follows:
First district, First and Second wards: Sec
ond district, Third and Fourth wards; Third
district. Fifth and Sixth wards; Fourth dis
tTict, Ninth, Tenth and Eleventh wards;
Fifth district, Seventh, Eighth, Twelfth and
Thirteenth wards.
II only three districts are made they will
be: First district, the first six wards; Sec.
ond district Ninth. Tenth and Eleventh
wards; Third district, Seventh, Eighth,
Twelfth and Thirteenth wards.
Chairman Lewis, OF the subcommittee, is
not in favor of the police magistrate idea.
Last night he said: Il do not think the act
of Assembly absolutely requires the appoint
ment of magistrates. In the first place they
are not necessary in Allegheny. The Mayor
can hear all the cases himself in half an
hour and often less. They would also be a
considerable expense, their salaries amount
ing to $500 year. In addition, such plan
would necesstate the erection OF several
station houses

A BRUTAL PASTIME.

This Is How the Humane Agents Regard
They Have Poor Opinion Of the Rus
sian Hounds.
j. M. Currier and Thomas Carlisle, the
officers of the Philadelphia Humane So
ciety, who witnessed the Hacke wolf
chase on Saturday, returned to the Quaker
City last evening. They were the guests of
Agent O'Brien. Mr.. Currier is the man
who shot the wolf, and he claims that he
had a right to do so as an officer of the law.
The charter of the Philadelphia Society ex-
tends over the State, and he says ne has the
authority to act in any county. He denies
that there was any threat to throw, him in
the creek, though he admits that the
rougher element that had collected were
little boisterous in working their mouths.
When asked for his opinion of the wolf
chase, he said:
81 regard it as the most brutal and out
rageous sport 1 ever saw. The poor wolf
didn't weigh more than 30 pounps, and 1t
bad only one eye. The animal made game
fight for its life, and the dogs, in my opinion,
did miserable work. The wolf was over
powered by superior numbers. why, L
think could pick up three mongrel ours
hounds. The wolf broke away from the
dogs six times. At one stage it
dragged one of the hounds half
way under the fence, when it
broke away and ran for the kennel, bowling
with pain. Then it was that the third dog
was loosened. The wolf played 'possum
very cleyerly, and fooled his pursuers
easily. When the wolf showed his teeth the
dogs remained at a safe distance finally
shot the wolf in ploughed field. The beast
had laid down in furrow with its head up
to watch the hounds. The dogs and the
crowd were fully 80 feet away when rushed
up and killed the animal with the first
bullet. i fired the other five shots in rapid
succession to make sure Of the job.
"Do l think the sport cruel? 1 certainly
do. 1t is true wolves are dangerous animals,
but this one was in captivity. The law pro-
vides that they shall be put to death with as
little pain as possible. No man has right
to torture any beast Frequently wild steers
break away from the abattoirs in Philadel-
phia. Everything is done to stop them to
prevent damage and loss of life.
The best means is to hamstring them: that
is, cut their legs with a sharp knife, so that
they are unable to stand. But would the
law permit o butcher to treat all of his cattle
in the same way? No, he must kill them
with as little pain as possible. The same is
true of a wolf chase"
The indications are that the Humane So
ciety will make information against the
leaders in the sport. Agent O'Brien regards
the chase as brutal, but he said last evening
that he was only an officer and would make
his report to the managers. He will follow
their recommendations.

day. The Eagle Rolling Mill, in the West
End, closed down Saturday night. throwing
about 125 men out of employment The
mill is owned by J. W. Friend & Co., and
has been operated by Oliver Bros. Nothing
but muck iron has been made there for some
time and all of that has been used in the
Tenth street mill
The notification of the shutdown came
very suddenly to the men. One of them,
speaking of it last night, said: 'Late Sat-
urday evening we were notified that the
mill would be shut down for an indefinite
period. There was no reason assigned for
il. 1 would not think that
the mill shut down on account of the dull
ness of the iron business, for we were
running Just as full as the mill would stand,
and the product was being disposed Of"
A Change of Control.
From another source it was learned that
the mill had been leased by the Oil Well
Supply Company. President Eaton, of the
company, was seen last night at his home,
on Bidwell street. He said:
fIt is true we have leased the mill from
Oliver Bros for one wear. The Olivers had
it leased from ]. W. Friend & Co., but now
they intend to convert their Tenth street
works into a steel plant and do not need the
West End mill.
eve take charge of the mill at once and
it will be started up this week, and the old
men re-employed. We are in need of more
muck bar, owing to the fact that we have
some special orders to bill, and our Western
trade is on the increase.
More Furnaces May Be Built.
''Our Elba works only have so pudding
furnaces, and that is not enough. The
Eagle plant has % furnaces, and / think
that will let us out We may probably build
more furnaces and make other changes in
the plant during the coming year"
The puddlers of Painters mill are not so
lucky. At present the cotton tie mill is
the only part of Painters West End plant
running. The S. furnaces in the mill are all
shut down, and 275 men are lying idle.
The cause of this shutdown is the same
attributed TO all the others in the different
parts of the city-the dullness and uncer-
tainty OF trade The men are growing
respondent over the outlook, as some Of
not get work elsewhere.
Not Pleasant Prospect.
Several of them were seen last night and
they all said that they did not know when
the mill would resume. One of them was
OF the opinion that it would not be before

The Painters are said to be considering
the enlarging of their plant. Already
workmen are engaged at tearing down the

building. The new part will be used for

LOWER ST. CLAIR TOWNSHIP
Again Comes to the Front With a Shooting
ARRAY.

Lower st. Clair township was the scene of
q shooting affray late on Saturday night last,
but just who the parties were the police
were unable to find out.
The place where the shooting occurred
was on Spring street, which is q short dis
tance outside the city line. The facts, so
far as the police were able to learn them,
are that late on Saturday night the
men called at house on Spring
street and demanded admittance, as they
desired to get drink and the house, it is
said, has the reputation of being speak
easy. The proprietor was in an upstairs
room and on the refusal of the men to go
away from the place, he fired two shots.
One of the bullets struck one of the men in
the leg and he was carried away by his
companions.
As the shooting occurred outside the city
limits the police did not act in the matter.

FATHER LEEM1NG ON TEMPERANCE.
Strong Lecture to q Large Audience at ST.
Bridgets Church.

Bridgcts Church.
Rev. George Leeming, formerly of Sidney,
Australia, lectured last night to large
audience in st. Bridget's Church, Enoch
street, on temperance. Father Leeming
handled the subject in thorough manner
The audience paid the closest attention dur
ing the hour and half occupied by the lee
turer. Among the many instances of the
evils of strong drink cited by the gentleman
was the argument of Gladstone, who said
that if ali the evils known TO the world were
put on the scales and all the sorrows and
suffering caused by strong drink were put
on the other side, it would overbalance all
the other evils twice over. If a general
marched to war with 100000 men and re-
turned with but 40 600, ali the sorrow and
suffering of the widows and orphans and OF
the wounded would not begin to compare
with the suffering and the wrecked homes
caused by rum.
When famine is in one country another
has plenty and gives freely, but the pesti-
Ience of rum is spread all over the world, on
land and on sea.

Won't Be a Cross-Examiner This Year

B. C. Christy was at the Union depot last
evening seeing his daughter off to Philadel-
phia. He said he would not appear in the
License Court this year. He remarked that
there is decrease in the number of appli-
cants for wholesale licenses, but the list of
retailers is larger than ever, in spite of the
1000 charged. He fails to see on what
ground the Court intends to increase the
number of licenses but this is the pro-
gramme mapped out by the Judges. The
impression is general that tine consumer
will have to pay the bill. With the list of
saloons increased and double the price
charged for the privilege of selling, it is
argued that the liquor will be adulterated
to make up the additional cost.
