Reception in the Pension Building.

One Of the principal attractions of the coming

gram for reception, held an important meeting,
In which the subj ct Of the program of exercises
was fully discussed and the different numbers
were practically agreed upon, only few minor
details remaining that require action. The
Marine Band will furnish the promenade music

Choral Society, forming a chorus of SO voices.
The songs will be ali Of q patriotic character,

witnessed in this city since the close of the war
There will be two 0minute speeches; one of

Army and then, after the completion of the

FOUND IN THE OHIO.
The Body OF a Man Supposed to Be Chas.
Weber Picked Up at McEee's Rocks

The Body OF a Man Supposed to Be Chas
Weber Picked Up at Mckee's Rocks.
The body of an unknown man was found
in the Ohio river near McKee's Rocks yes
terday, and later was taken to the morgue,
where it now lies awaiting Identification.
The body is that of man weighing 200
pounds, 5 feet 10 inches tall, fair complexion,
with short sandy hair and mustache He
was dressed in black diagonal sack coat
and vest and black and gray check trousers.
The shirt was blue gingham, the underwear
red flannel, cotton socks and Congress gait
ers. The body answers the description of
milkman named Charles Weber, who is re-
ported as missing from his home in the
vicinity of Troy Hill, Allegheny, for about
a week. The friends of Weber could not be
found by the Coroner last night, who de-
sired them to view the body.
There were 81 46 in the pockets of the
clothes, and an Adams Express Company
receipt for a package shipped to Caroline
Schovalin, Homework, O.. and dated April
% 1t was about that date Weber disap-
peared from home The Coroner telegraphed
as near as possible to Homework last night,
to learn of Mrs Schovalin who shipped
the package to her, but as there is no tele
graph Office at that point the woman could
not be reached.

LOCATING A FREE BRIDGE.
Bringing the East End Much Closer to the
Southside.

1t is reported that those who have the
actual direction of the free bridge affairs
think the best location for that structure is
at Twenty-second street, Southside. There
is a further report that this location has
practically been decided upon, and that the
bridge will reach Forbes street directly,
with a wing or side approach into Second
avenue. This would afford communication
with the great lines of traffic on the Pitts
burg side, while it would be of easy access
TO the most thickly populated portion of the
Southside. Of course no details are to be
had at this time as to the dimensions of the
bridge or the manner in which it is proposed
TO erect a drop into Second avenue. 1t is at
this point that Second avenue, Forbes street
and Fifth avenue are closest together, which
means ready approach to East Liberty
valley, the Hazlewood district and the large
tracts between these two.
1t is rumOred that an electric street rail-
way will connect the Pittsburg and Du-
quesne Traction Companies lines with the
Second avenue system and with a proposed
new SOuthside group of roads, which nav
in turn be worked in connection with the
West End Company's road on the lower
Soutbside. Such an arrangement would
bring those portions of the city into close
connection, which are now kept apart BY
the river and a lack of rapid transit facili-
ties.
1t is understood that plans are being
worked upon as above indicated, and that
the necess ary charters and ordinances will
soon be applied for.

NOT BUILDING SHORT CUTS
Tho B & o. Is Not Surveying Line Through
Williamsburg to the p. & w. Road.

Tho b & o. Is Not Surveying Line Through
Williamsburg to the p. & W. Road.
Baltimore and Ohio engineers have been
doing some surveying lately around Browns
station and the salt works. The report got
out that the company intended to build
line up Nine-mile run to Williamsburg, and
make short cut across the country
to the Pittsburg and Western
road. Freight trains could be run
through without going over the Junction
road, and the cut would greatly shorten the
distance. The advantage of such loop
between the two roads is apparent at once.
1t would also save the B. & o. road from
considerable extra trouble, as one of the
conditions made bv the city when the
Junction road was built was that only coke
should be burned in the engines. With
the Ladies' Health Protective Association
watching all the locomotives and demand
ing strict observance of this agreement,
the B. g. O. managers find themselves en-
barrassed at times to live up to the con-
tract, and it will certainly be difficult
task when all through freight will be run
this way.
Superintendent Holbrook, when asked
yesterday about the proposed connection
through Williamsburg, said there was moth
ing in it. The company hasn't the money
to do the work. He said considerable
distance could be saved bv tunneling
through from Brown s, and coming out at the
salt works, as the trains at LaughlIn' 8 station
after running around are still not far from
Browns. He added that the company has no
intention of building tunnels that would
cost about 5000 per foot.

A MODERN NOAH.
Michael Gallaher, of Lawrenoeville, Hunt
ing for His Sister Julia to Save Her
From the Approaching Dslugs OF Fire

Michael Gallaher, of Lawrenceville, Hunt
Ing for His Sister Julia to Save Her
From the Approaching Dslugs OF Fire
and Birthstone.
Michael Gallaher, originally of Swinsford,
County Mayo, ireland, later of California,
and at present of LawrencevilIe, wants to
find his sister Julia, who, when last heard
from, was employed at the Central Hotel
Mr.. Gallaher is depressed. In the hrst
place he is sad because he cannot find his
sister, and in the next place he asserts with
positiveness that there Is going to be
considerable trouble in this world within
very short time. At first his story suggested
plot to depress Pittsburg realty, but one
glance at the gentleman dispelled the idea,
as his appearance denoted that he had been
industriously acquiring real estate during
his brief stay in this city.
Mr.. Gallaher announces that some 30
years ago member of his family was born
with crown, signifying that the child
would in course of time become king or
queen. Mr. Gallaher finds that the signs
are not propitious for the creation of a new
dynasty, either in ireland or this country.
but is confident that the child (who is
probably himself, although his modesty
prevents his admitting it) was born to
great things Upon this proposition Mr..
Gallaher bases the declaration that within
short time the earth, with the exception
of one spot, yet to be announced,
will be deluged by waves of flames
and torrents of liquid birthstone.
He expects to be the Noah of this
second deluge, and will pilot a small but
devoted band of relatives and followers,
numbered at 200, to the haven of safety.
For this purpose. he states, he and his
friends are now gathering from the ends of
the earth to Swinsford, County Mayo. With
the natural affection of brother, Mr..
Gallaher desires to save his sister, who Is
in ignorance of the trouble in store for. her
unless she reaches Swinsford In time to
receive her marching orders. He holds that
his sister is being concealed by enemies
who believe he has informed the English
Government that the people Of this country
are witches and are constantly employed in
creating wars. Mr.. Gallaher denies this
charge, and announces that he will to-day
apply to the Governor for q search warrant
which will enable him to find his sister.
Mr.. Galaher is interesting In a gloomy
sort of wav, but his remarks are depressing
to the man who is figuring On a summer
vacation and other pleasant events likely to
occur in the future.

A CRY FOR WATER.

Ball Game Patrons Wonder Why They
Cant Get Drink on the Grounds
A very ardent admirer and patron of the
Pittsburg ball club was complaining yester-
day about the lack of water on the ball
grounds. 81 think" he continued, shat
the fake business is being run into the
ground. 1t is impossible to get
drink of water during the
game Yesterday people sat there
from o'clock till G. and suffered. To make
sure was not mistaken, 1 walked around
the grounds and inquired for water There
wasn't hydrant anywhere. was surprised
on the other hand to see an official of the
club behind stand selling small sandwiches
and pop at 10 cents bottle that can be
bought anywhere for 8 cents. There
are lots of people who can't drink
pop, and there are many who will
not pay double price for it. You can't
get check to go outside of the gate for
water, but everything is arranged to play
into the fakirs' hands. Now, think when
a man pays 75 cents to see game he has
done enough, and he shouldn't be denied
the privilege of drink of water at least.
I heard plenty of other people making the
same kick"

An Anarchist Says City Hall Is Doomed to
Go Up in Smoke and Flame.
Mayor Gourley received yesterday letter
embellished with rude sketches of explod-
ing shells and gas pipe bombs, the writer of
which took pains to show in it that he was
an Anarchist of the most rabid type. He
had evidently taken offense at the letter re-
ceived by the Mayor some days ago from a
man who wanted His Honor to rid the
Southside of reds, and warned the Mayor to
be careful, that his "palace" was doomed,
snd that the working people fed the capi-
talists, who wanted to see the Anarchists de-
stroyed. The rich earned nothing but
dynamite, and all churches and other
property is soon to 'tgo up in smoke and
flame. +" The writer also said if the writer
of the letter requesting the Mayor to sup
press the Southside Anarchists were ever
found she could count his hours" The
writing was in German and wound up with
the signature, "You No." The interesting
missive was consigned TO the waste basket

A sight which tickled the multitude along
Fourth avenue, just above the postoffice,
yesterday afternoon was the starting of a
tin can fastened to the Central Traction
cable by means OF strong twine and a
piece of wire with hook to it. Yell after
veil came from the hoodlums as, after
quite while, they succeeded in fastening
the can to the cable, and funny sight it
was to see the can bobbing from one side of
the street to the other.

Novel Test OF an Engine,

The Pennsylvania road made test few
days ago of the cost, amount and kind of
material used in the locomotives. Engine

tons capacity each, weighing 2,463, $50
pounds, from Chicago to New York. The
men say it was the heaviest train ever han
died on the Pittsburg division. The coal

PECULIAR INSURANCE CASE
A Woman Who Puts Money on a Mans Life
without His knowledge LosesIt

Alderman Burns had peculiar civil case
before him yesterday. 1t was brought by
Patrick Trainor, executor of the late James
Sullivan, to recover $500 life insurance from
Mrs. William Shannon. Sullivan for Is
years before his death boarded with the de-
fendant at 3015 Smallman street. About
six months before he died she placed 5000
life insurance in the Metropolitan and Pro-
vincIal companies in his name without his
knowledge. When he died she collected
the money, and suit was brought to get it.
The decision was given in 1avor of the
plaintiff, his attorney having cited decis-
ion made by the Supreme Court in Adams
county, May u, 1888, where there had been
a parallel case
