MURPHY'S DENIAL.

He Says He Never Received q Cent for His
Advocacy of the Keeley Cure-Denounc-
ing an Anonymous Communication
Many Men Sign the Pledge.
The fact that Francis Murphy was to
speak at Lafayette Hall last night was the
means of attracting very large crowd of
people to that place. The audience was
both large and appreciative, and Mr.. Muir
ply on his appearance was rendered quite
an ovation. In his speech Mr.. Murphy
emphatically denied that he had ever re-
ceived cent of money from DR.. Kelley or
anyone for advocating that cure. The
speaker had from his personal
experience as well as from his investiga-
tions that drunkenness is q disease, and
should be treated as such. The speaker
was advocating temperance for the good
there is in it, and not for the money to be
derived, and as far as the Kelley cure was
concerned it was cure for drunkenness,
and he intended to work for it, as should
all good Christian people. Mr.. Murphy
said that his investigation of the Kelley
cure was among some of the most
prominent men in the country, and he
learned not only from themselves, out from
their wives the good done. Mr.. Murphy
also spoke of an anonymous communica-
tion published In an afternoon paper which
attacked him and he denounced this as be-
ing cowardly and unmanly. Following
this Mr.. Murphy made one of his charac-
teristic addresses.
Other addresses were made by Joseph L.
Hunter, Erasmus Wilson, Rev. B. F. Mont
gomery and j. M. Kelly. The last-nsmed
speaker said that the Kelley Club was an
organization whose object was temperance,
and who worked for that cause and not for
money. He desired mill owners or others
desirous of having meetings held in their
mills or factories to call on him or Mr..
Murphy and they would be accommodated.
A large number of pledge signers was OBJ
tanned. Another meeting will be held to-
night, and one on Sunday in Carnegie Hall,
Allegheny.

MAY TAKE THEIR CHOICE.

Councils win Allow the Central Board to
Choose Between the Fifth Avenue
Market or the Price-A Rocky Road for
Franchise Seekers.
Select Council held special session yes
terday, at which Mr.. Robertson offered q
resolution for committee of three, in con-
junction with the Chief of the Department
of Public Safety, to confer with the Central
Board Of Education as to whether it is ad-
visable to sell the Fifth avenue market
house property and credit the proceeds of
the sale, or as much thereof as may be
necessary, to the Central Board of Educa-
tion for the purchase of other property that
might be more desirable for High School
purposes, better located and cheaper. The
resolution was adopted.
Ordinances changing the name of Nc
Kee place 20 Ward street; sewers on
Chauncey street, Matilda street, Laurel
alley and Picnic street; establishing the
grade of Juliet street and Cato street;
opening Arlington avenue. Millvale street
and Hamilton street; grading, paving and
curbing portion of Forty-third street,
were passed finally.
The ordinance granting the South Twen-
ty-frst Street Incline Company the right
to erect an incline from South Twenty-frst
street to Arlington avenue was amended
so as to compel the company to file bond
S15O.OO0 before beginning the work as a
guarantee of good faith, and the ordinance
went over for printing.
The ordinance granting certain rights OF
way to the Morningside and Highland Park
Railway was taken up for third reading and
Mr. Warmcastle moved for an indefinite
postponement and the motion was defeated.
The ordinance was then voted for and failed
for want of legal majority, the vote being
Is to 5.
This meeting was held on account of the
summary adjournment by President Ford
on Monday, when the members failed to re-
port at 2 o'clock, the legal hour for assem-
bling. The members did not take the les
son to heart for it was 2:30 when q quorum
was secured yesterday.

SPREADING TO ALLEGHENY,

Many of the Outcasts Go to the No. Inside
for Homes-They Meet With No En-
cOuragement There - Mayor Kennedy
Talks on the Subject.
The Pittspurg police order concerning
the closing of disorderly houses has already
been felt in Allegheny. A large number
of the inmates of Pittsburg houses were in
Allegheny yesterday, many of them trying
to secure boardIngs, while others tried to
rent houses or rooms
Alderman Braun, in speaking of the
Pittsburg police order, said yesterday that
the proprietors of disorderly houses in the
First ward had been besieged BY Pittsburg
women on Wednesday night and yesterday,
asking for boarding and lodging, as
man. as ten applications being made at one
house. But the oroers that he had issued
on "Wednesday had been strictly complied
with, and not one house had opened its
doors to anyone, either male or female.
In speaking of the raiding ordinance
Mayor Kennedy has submitted to Councils
Alderman Braun said there is no necessity
for Councils passing such, an ordinance.
He claims that the laws Of the State are
sufficient If they are enforced. He says

MANY GETTING AWAY.

The Outcasts Leave on Every Train for
Other Cities for Home.
Nearly every train leaving Pittsburg yes
terday carried on it some of the women who
have been thrown upon the world by the
closing order of the police. Several of the
unfortunstes went to Philadelphia and
other Eastern cities and not few of them
went to Buffalo, Wheeling and Cleveland.
1t was stated yesterday that only those
who had accumulated and saved money
were leaving. One woman applied to Chief
Elliot for railroad fare to go to Chicago.
She was assisted. The Chief is of the
opinion that many others will apply to him
within the week.

The trouble between the Carnegie Steel
Company and the Philadelphia Gas Com

neither affirm nor deny the report He said
that on account of the difficulty the CON-
pany's plants would discard gas and use
coal in the future. The change will not cause
much difficulty, as the works are so

Mayor Kennedy thinks the order will

says Allegheny is a city of residences, and
that if dlsorderly houses exist they should

Mayor Gourley's Speech.
Superintendent O'Mara went to his home
early in the afternoon. He was in an ugly
temper on account of the Mayors speech.
Before leaving for home Mr.. O'Mara said:
"His Honor, Mayor Gourley, accuses ME
of neglect of duty-if not worse-in
not suppressing those places without
his order. If had done
so-betore the late excitement on the SUBJ
ject-I may safely infer that would have
been promptly accused of over-oficious-
ness. The fiat emanated from Mayor Gour-
ley to Chief Brown and from j. o. Brown
to me.
eff had been dilatory In executing the
order through mercy to the unfortunate
women would have been accused of gross
neglect of duty and held responsible for it. :"

A STARTLING RECORD.

Mr.. Henry G. Adams, statistic,
ian of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, presents in the June
number of The Forum the follow.
ing startling showing of the deaths
and accidents to railroad employ
eS.
Total number of railway employees (all
kinds ...t.s.....4.. 749, ,30l
Number killed in one year ...... ,45l
Number injured in one year 49,. q, 39t
This means one death for every
LOG and one injury for every 30
men employed. Confning the
statement to those employees en-
gagged directly in the handling of
trains, that is to say, engineers,
firemen, conductors and other
trainmen, the results are beyond
the experience in any other busi-
ness or trade.
Total number OF trainncn only. f53, ,235
Number klled in one year ........l ,459
Number injured in one year. ..., l3,l72
THIS means one death for every
l05 and one injury for every IL
men engaged IN handling trains
la no other employment, not
even In mining, which is most
dangerous occupation, can such
results be shown AS the chief
causes of deaths and injuries, the
total number killed in coupling and
uncouplIng cars was 369, aud the
number injured was 7,842; while
the total number killed in falling
from trains and engines was 59l
and the total injured was 1858
That is to say, 1894 per cent of
the total number of deaths and As.
81 per cent of the total number Of
injuries sustained by the railway
employees resulted while coupling
cars or setting brakes.
Out of the total of 1,l05, ,042
cars used in freight service, there
are but 81, 800 fitted with automa-
tic couplers and but l00,990 equip
ped with tram brakes. We can
we'll understand, In the light of
such figures, when taken in con-
nectlon with the fact that there
are forty y-four different kinds of
couplers and nine kinds of train
brakes IN actual use, that so-called
safety Appliances, as at present
used, increase rather than decrease
the danger of railway employment.
Mr.. Adams advocates the adoption
by the Government of uniform
fo- coupling and the re-
quirement that all roads shall use
them.

There Is queer story concerning
the Spotted Horse mine In Fergus
county, Colorado 1t was found by
2. A. Meadow, who sold it to Gov.
Hauser and AM. Holden for $780,
600 three years ago. They paid a
large sum down in cash and the
other payments were to come out
of the ground. The ore was in
pockets, each of which was easily
exhausted. Whatever was taken
out went to Meadow, who got
100000. Then the purchasers
abandoned it on the advice of ex
perts and Meadow took hold of it.
He found the vein, over which rails
had been laid for n mining car.
He has taken out $500,000 and it
is still a good mine.

Jones or Tobias Brown, who has
earned a living and saved few
hundred dollars, is carried away
by the alluring temptation OF u
big estate awaiting him oven th.'
sea.
There are always few prelimi-
naries connected with the opera
ton of enriching MIR. Jones. and
these involve the depletion Of MIR.
Jones bank account. When his
bank account has been depleted,
without any returns, to an extent
that awakens his reluctant
suspicion, he hears no more from
the swindler.
As matter of fact there are
very few estates in England await
ing American clalmants, and not
one of.tLe claims goes back for any
great length Of time. All the
estates said to be coming to the
descendants of this or that early
settler Of America arc mythical.
If it is thought worth while to
answer one of these swindlers III
all, he should be told to go ahead
on the contingency of sharing the
fortune that he claims to be within
reach. He would probably not be
heard from again. The fortune
he is after is in America not in
England.

MYTHICAL ESTATES.

A London dispatch says that the
United States Consulate is en-
deavoring to effect the prosecution
and suppression of swindlers prey
ing upon the credulity of Ameri-
cans who regard themselves as
heirs to unclaimed estates. 1t Is
to be hoped that the rogues will be
brought to justice, but it Is not
likely that there will be any last
ing depression in that peculiar and
profitable industry.
Uulike most forms of money
seeking, the mythical estate
swindle appeals both to cupidity
and to sentiment. There is some
thing intensely romantic 10 the
prospect of enjoying the millions
which some far distant and almost
forgotten ancestor accumulated by
piracy on the high seas, or in the
slave trade. or by looting Indian
palaces IN the days Of king Com
pany." And, aside from the ro
nance of the thing, the prizes held
out and apparently almost within
grasp are bewildering in their
glitter and grandeur. 1t IL no
wonder, therefore, that Ebenezer
