RuTAN REVIEWS THE CHARGE
He Has Little Hope OF Ever Catching
Martin Oliver.

Martin Oliver.
Ex-senator Rutan entered suit before
Alderman j. V. McMasters last evening
against Martin Oliver and James Routh for
alleged misdemeanor in failing to take the
oath before doing duty as election officers in
the Third precinct of the Fifth ward, Allie
gheny, at the recent primaries held there on
March g. The suit is the outcome of the
action Of Alderman Schellman on Monday,
when he discharged the same defendants in
a similar suit because of the failure Of wit
nesses to appear at the time set.
In his suit before Alderman McMasters,
Senator Rutan makes the same alle-
cations as in the suit before Alder
man Schellman, that is, that the defend
ants unlawfully presumed to act as election
officers before taking and subscribing to the
oath or affirmation required by the act Of
Assembly; unlawfully and willfully violated
the rules of the Republican party for the
government of primaries, and also unlaw-
fully received the votes of persons not quail
ifed to vote at the primaries, and that the
defendants thereby were guilty of wilful
fraud.
Warrants were issued last night for Oliver
and Routh, but when Senator Rutan was
seen last night he said he did not see much
hope OF catching Martin Oliver, as there are
now three indictments hanging over him
for keeping speak-easy, and he thought
that would be sufficient to keep him away.

COL STEWART WILL FIGHT

He VIII Make Another Contest for Congress
to Satisfy Friends.
Colonel Andrew Stewart, who was re-
Gently unseated as Representative in Con-
gress from the Twenty-fourth district, was
in Pittsburg yesterday. The Colonel says
he has been unfairly treated, and he will
make an effort to vindicate himself
and his friends. He will announce
himself for the Congressional nomina-
tion in all the four counties in
the district and he will make another
fight for the nomination and election. 1t is
claimed by Colonel Stewards friends that
e. F. Acheson, Of Washington county, not
only assisted In the unseating Of the Colonel
to break the two-term custom in the district
but that Mr.. Acheson had perfected deal
with Senator Quay whereby Quay was to
get the members Of the Legislature from
Washington and Fayette counties Re-
corder Won Bonnhorst was to go to the
National Convention, and in return Acheson
was to be given the Congressional uomina-
tion. The Colonel's friends now insist upon
his going into the field against the conlbina-
tion.
The Colonel said yesterday he had re-
ceived pledges of support from many of the
best Republicans in the district, and the
soldier element, he said, is especially anxious
that he will become their candidate.

Mayor Gourley went over to the South
side yesterday to examine into the merits Of
the ordinances passed by Councils on Mon

of South Sixth street and Mint alley. and
surrendering them to the Pittsburg, Vir-
ginia and Charleston Railway Company.
On his return His Honor was asked what
he proposed to do with the ordinances.
ply, "until I have talked to the railway
officials. I find they are making wonder
full improvement on the Southside. The
freight depot they are building will be
great thing Tor that part Of the city and will
Be an immense building. They have bought
up property worth hundreds of thousands
of dollars, and I understand the building
they are to erect will be large and hand-
some. The promises the company has made
about widening part of the alley to 35-foot
street was not incorporated into the ordi-
nance, though it should have been,
and I want an understanding on
that point before do anything with the
ordinance. As to the other points involved
am inclined to let them go if the railroad
people will bind themselves on the promises
made, and let things take their course. 1t
is my belief that the parties now opposing
the vacation will be so benefited by the new
building that they will not offer any further
objections.
Under the law, unless the ordinance is
vetoed within ten davs IL will become a
law without the magisterial signature, but
the Mayor SAYS be expects to decide within
q few days. If he decides upon veto it is
a question what will become of it, whether
the new Councils to be organized next Mon
day would have power to pass it over the
veto, or whether 1t would die and have to
come up anew after the organization.
The Mayor is receiving dozens Of appli-
cations for the appointment of Ordinance
Officer, an Office created on Monday to
protect the people against dishonest coal
dealers. He has not made an appointment,

PRICE OF AN HONEST MAN.

Closing Session OF Allegheny's Common
Couuci1-Fight Over the Salary OF tho
Market Clerk-President ParEe Speaks
in Defense of BIS Character.
Allegheny Common Council met last
night with half the members in their seats
and ext Chairman James Hunter on the front
steps The other members who were not
candidates were listening to the pleas OF
seekers for Office in the corridors. 1t was
the last session of the year, and they were
closing up the unfinished business
The business opened with an ordinance
raising the salary of the Market Clerk from
81, 900 a year to 81, 200. The question then
rose on whether an honest man could be
found for that price. Several members be-
ieved there was necessity for that quality
in the market house officials and the ordi-
nance passed.
Resolutions were adopted thanking Presi-
dent Parke, Clerk Dilworth and Page
Hunter for their efficient and faithful serv-
ices and gentlemanly conduct during the
past year.
Just before adjournment President Parke
said he had few remarks to make and left
the chair. After thaEking the members for
their gentlemanly and courteous treatment
of him and their assistance during the
past year, he said there had been reports
in the newspapers in the last few. days, re-
hecting on various members of Councils, in
which his name was mentioned. There had
been dark and vague insinuations, but as
far as his name was concerned he would
make the broadest and widest challenge to
any man in the State of Pennsylvania
to produce any act in his official conduct
that would reflect on his honor in any form.
The name of his firm, Logan, Gregg & Co.,
an old and honored house, had been men-
toned. and he would give all the informa-
tion he possessed concerning its transac-
tions with the city. Some seven or eight
years ago, he said, diferential pulley
block had been purchased for the water
department.. He knew nothing of the pur-
chase at the time and Logan, Gregg & Co.
were then the sole agents for that kind Of
block.
He explained several similar charges and
then offered letters showing he had never
been connected with the Observatory Hill
Railway.

Car No. 30 Of tho Birmingham Line In
Flamos.
There was considerable excitement on
Carson street about 0:30 o'clock last night,
but like all things electrical lasted but q
moment Car No. 80 Of the Birmingham
line was on the return trip from the city.
At Sixteenth street pedestrians were hor-
rifed to see the entire front of the car sud
denly break out in blaze, the motorman
looming up In the midst Of the
flames and appearing like martyr of old
being burned at the stake. The car ran for
nearly square, when the conductor pulled
the trolley from the wire and the fire went
out, and, to the establishment of the gather
ing crowd, the motorman stepped forward
without even his clothes being singed. The
trouble was caused by the brasses wearing
out in the motor and setting fire to the cas-
ing.
Car 80 was the first to run over the road,
and is known as the "Hoodoo" along the
line. The superstitiously- y-inclined refuse to
ride on it. Several persons have been killed
and number injured by it. The disabled
car was pushed into the barn by the one
following it.

How Representative swartz Won the Hearts
of Perry County People.
William R. Swartz, member of Penn
sylvania's Legislature from Perry county,
was in Pittsburg yesterday on business.
Mr.. Swartz is mlId-mannered man, with
long black whiskers ard freedom of speech
that is decidedly cheerful. He served his
first term In the model Legislature
of 1889, and he was reelected to the session
of 1891 He has now retired from active
politics, and says he will rest permanently
on the laurels won in his memorable bill to
protect the cells and other foolish of the
Susquehanna river.
Early in tho last. session Mr. Swartx in
troduced his bill, and he was industrious
and earnest in its support, but it was de-
feated finally. The bill contemplated the
destruction of tho fsh-ways which had been
constructed in the river as protection to
the game fish, and during tho consideration
of the measure Swartz made several vigor-
Gus speeches and came within few votes Of
carrying his bill, arguing that the fish-ways
prevented the eels and tood.fsh from COM
ing up the river as far as Perry county,
where the poor people could get at them.
The effort made Swartz popular, but it failed
to provide the Perry county people with
eels.
