REPORTS ON RELIEF.

Mayor Gourley Calls a Meeting Of tho Local
Committee to Make Plans for continu-
ance of the work-Contributions Still
Coming In.
The Mayor has called . meeting Of the
local relief committee for Tuesday morn
ing, when tine reports of the work already
done for the sufferers in the oil country will
be looked over and further plans for con-
tinuance of the work will be considered.
Yesterday Mr.. James B. Scott called on
Mayor Gourley with reference to the work.
He received two letters from the commit
tees at Oil City and Titusvills acknowledge
ing the receipt of money already
sent and of some supplies, cots,
cofins and bedding. The committees there
seemed to be surprised at the prompt man
ner in which the local committee responded
to a request for cots The request was made
on Thursday night and tie goods were IN
Oil City on Friday at noon To emulate
the example they acknowledged their re-
ceipt at once, but expressed surprise at the
rapid work of relief The letters also re-
ported the manner of doing the work in the
suffering country, the distribution of the
money, food and other supplies, and was
hopeful OF a speedy resumption to their
former prosperity.
The following are the contributions re-
ceived yesterday to the flood fund by Treas
urer w. r. Thompson:
c. T., s5; pupils of Miss Woods school, 81;
Gregg & Elliott, $50: johnson, EaSye &
Earl, $780, w. IL. Hearne, wheeling, W. va
p, So; NJ. b. R., S.; Jesse B. Jones, SO; u. d;
B., So; Mrs. A. A Aughenbaugh. So Iotai
contributions up to to date, si9,15O %
Mr.. Thompson received letter from
George P. Hukill, of the General Relief
Committee asking for donations of sewing
machines. Mr. Hukill in his letter stated
that there were great many poor families
that had owned machines previous to the
flood and with them earned livelihood.
The flood washed these machines away,
hence the families are deprived of their
only manner of making living. Mr..
Thompson yesterday received donation of
five machines from the Wheeler & Wilson
company. About 80 machines are needed.
The fund recently started in Allegheny
for the benefit of the Titusville and Oil City
sufferers was further increased last night by
the following contributions:
Philip Hamburger, sl5: W. R. Murphy, $40;
W. NJ. Cullough, $50; James McCarroll, $40;
Cash, s.; Mary A. Leonard, $40; cash, IS; Mary
Potters $5; W. L. Sloan, S.; cash, IS: cash,

HARRISON COMING TO P1TrsBuRa

He Il Expected to Speak at the Inde-
pendence Day Exercises.
Since President Harrison has been re.
nominated it is probable that he will accept
Mayor Gourley's invitation to be present at
the Fourth OF July celebration ''by the peo-
Pile" at Schenley Park. When he was in
vited, some two months ago, he intimated
that his acceptance was altogether de-
pendent on the action of the National Con-
vention, and now that he has been victori-
Gus there he may consider it worth
his while to come this way tor
obvious reasons. Mayor Gourley
will write letter to him during the coming
week and urge him to be present and feels
confident he will consent to come if no cir
cumstance intervenes.
The fund for the celebration has received
a setback lately owing to the flood in the
oil country, but there is no reason to be-
lieve it will not rebound to the credit of the
city in week or two. Wolfgang Miller
contributed S. yesterday.

briated Son.
After receiving his weekly wages yester-
day, Frederick Lunenpencil, of No. II
First street, made a break for the first
saloon he could find and before he left
he was in a sad state of inebriation. 1t was
l o'clock in the afternoon when Frederick
finally concluded that he would 20 home
and sleep off the effects of his morning
carouse.
Upon arriving at his residence instead of
going upstairs to his room as he
had at first intended, he amused
himself by annoying and abusing his
aged mother When Mrs. Lunenpencil
demonstrated with her son he became
worse and began throwing the household
goods around the floor and out into the ward.
Frederick wound up the entertainment by
going into the parlor and throwing several
flower pots containing choice plants out
into the street. To stand all this was be-
yond human endurance and his mother
went in search of a policeman and returned
with Captain Schatzman, who lost no time
in taking Frederick to the police station.
Last night Mrs. Lunenpencil, notwith-
standing her sons behavior, relented and
went to secure his release. She will not an

ROBBED HIS sEEErAcTREsA
Willie Kinnear Steals q Pocketbook From
aWoman Who Befriends Him.

Willie Kinnear Steals q Pocketbook From
awoman Who Befriends Him.
Lying in a cell in the Allegheny City
Hall is William Kinnear, a lad of about IA
| years. He is charged with stealing pock-
etbook containing s25 from Mrs. Mary Was
| serfullen, of Westview. This morning he
will be given hearing, and, unless he can
show good cause for his act, he will be sent
to the retormatory.
The young prisoner called at Mrs. Was
serfullen's house several days ago, and told
her such q pitiful story that the lady's
heart was touched and she admitted him to
her family. The tale Kinnear related was
replete with misery. He said he had no
home and for more than As hours no food
had passed his lips
In taking him into her home the only
stipulation Mrs. Wasserfullen made was
that Kinnear should pay for his board by
running errands and performing other lit
tie chores. The boy seemed willing and
anxious to help his benefactress and Mrs.
Wasserfullen was beginning to congratulate
herself on the valuable addition she had
secured when early yesterday morning the
boy suddenly disappeared. A search of the
house also revealed that pocketbook con-
tanning S25 was missing from bureau
drawer. Concluding that the purse went
with the absent boy Mrs. Wasserfuller
fastened to the Allegheny police station,
where she told her troubles to Detective
McDonough.
After obtaining good description of the
suspect from the woman, the detective
started out in search of the boy and found
him walking up and down Federal street
enjoying the sights. After reaching the
police station Willie broke down and ad-
mltted his guilt. He said ne had given SO
of the money to boy named Willie Fisher;
while Sc was spent for candies, ice cream,
etc. After some little trouble the Fisher
boy was found and was very willing to give
up So of the $40 he had received from Kim
near. In all S16 was recovered, which was
returned to Mrs Wasserfullen. She says
she will take no more boys into her house
that tell pitiful stories.

STEAMED THE LABORERS.

Railroad War Causes Excitement on tho
Southside-Workmen Continue Their
Labors Under Dimculties-An Engineer
obeys Orders Although the Crowd
Objects.
Twenty-frst and Jane streets last night by
what seemed at first would turn into riot
The Birmingham Traction line are con-
structing tracks down Jane street and the
Whitehall railroad, which runs up Twenty
first street, object to their crossing at that
point For the past three weeks the rail-
road people have had watchman stationed
there to give warning in case the attempt
would be made.
About o'clock last evening the contrac-
tor in charge of the work appeared on the
scene with gang of about 80 men, who
were Immediately put to work. Yardmaster
Bumbaugh was Immediately notified, and
about 8 o'clock he appeared and tried to
stop the workmen without success Shortly
after train pulled by engine 166 came up
from the lower yards. It was stopped and
the engine detached and run up to the cross
ing. The men, however. kept on working.
In the meantime the engine had
been fired up, and under instruc-
tlonS Engineer brOWn turned Oh tne
steam from the cylinder escape cocks
and in an instant the workmen were en-
veloped in scalding steam. They bravely
kept at work and very soon gained the SYM
pathy of the large crowd that had assembled.
All manner of schemes were suggested.
Many were in favor of overpowering the
railroad employees and securing the engine,
and others tried to make, improvised shell
ters Of cross ties The timely arrival of the
police quelled the excitement shortly after
the steam was turned off, but the engine
was kept on the crossing. The engineer
stated that his instructions were to remain
all night if necessary. The work was COM
track, and the men we're busy relaying the
paving stones at midnight. In all proba-
bility an injunction will be asked for in
court tomorrow, and until the case is settled
nothing further will be done.

Philadelphia Republicans Wanted Blaine
but Arc Very Well Satisfied With Har'
rison-New York Democrats Don't Ex.
pect an Easy Victory.
President Harrison's nomination was re.
ceived in Philadelphia among the clubmen
with a subdued sort of acclaim, according to
w. J. Temple of that city, who passed
through the city last night on
the limited. 'The people there" re.
sumed Mr. Temple after a moments
hesitation, "were strongly imbued with the
idea that the e1-Premier was the man for
the nomination, and expected his name
would head the ticket. Consequently,
when the word was brought that the Presi-
dent had received the honor there was not
that characteristic Republican enthusiasm
that there would have been had the result
been otherwise" and Mr.. Temple hesitated
again. Then continuing, he said: 'But the
President will be supported by Philadel-
phians, do not doubt that, for they are loyal
to the party and will make their every en-
deavor to have the election go as it should.
They appreciate the fact that more strenu-
Gus efforts will have to be made than would
have been if Blaine was the candidate and
will act accordingly.
New York Democrats are in a position
where they do not know whether to congrat-
ulate themselves or not" was the comment
of A. R. Flemming. who was in the coach
with Mr. Temple. ''They feared Blaine,
the man, and now they fear Harrison, the
Republican. The record the President has
made during his present term is
a highly commendable one, to be sure, and
will be q strong weapon against Democ-
racy. backed up as it is with the protec-
tion of the party, but the Democrats con-
gratulate themselves and feel half sanguine
of success upon what they choose to call the
split, as they seem to think that Harrison
without Quay's support will be somewhat
easier to beat than Blaine would have been
with it. But that is Democratic talk. As
for myself, am satisfied that Harrison will
come out strongly successful at the Novem-
Der elections"
