Little Matters Which We're Noted
Yesterday,
Harry Stewart, colored, who was ar
rested by detectives Benson and Auble,
was yesterday taken back to Bakers
field where he ia wanted for burglary
for entering house and taking some
clothing.
In the police court yesterday Frank
Guerrero was fined $50, or given the
alternative of 80 days in Jail, on the
charge of drunkenness. He had alec
been arrested on the charge OF indecent
exposure of his person, but the COM
plainsnts failing to appear, the case was
dismissed.
There was great sensation on WASH
ington and Paloma streets on last Tues
day night. When Mr.. G. B. Simpson re-
turned home he found that his wife had
barred him out of the house. He did
some tall kicking against the door, and
his wife appeared at the window with a
revolver and fired couple of shots into
the darkness, alarming the neighbor-
hood, but not Mr.. Simpson. Officers
Walsh and Dietwig appeared upon the
scene and quiet was restored.
Mrs. Annie M. Simpson swore to a
complaint in the police court, on the
next day, charging her husband with
disturbing the peace.

was to spend the next eight years and
eleven months of his life in the
Western Penitentiary. He walked up
to the bar and stood alone for
several 90 moments, then Thomas
Mr.. Marshall Jr., Joined him. The attorney
made an earnest appeal for light sentence.
He spoke along the line of the likelihood of
reform if the prisoner were given lighter
sentence.
Young Garvin Bore Up Well.
Judge McClung said it was not the pur-
pose of the law to reform criminals, but to
protect society. The crime, in his mind,
was an aggravated one If the verdict had
been first degree he would not have lifted a
finger, as he believed the testimony war;
ranted such a verdict. The recommends
tion of the jury and the solicitation of
friends, however, compelled him to impose
a lighter sentence than he would otherwise
have done.
Garvin stood up well and showed on signs
of emotion as he was led back to Jail. At
2 o'clock he was taken to the penitentiary.
His brother accompanied him, riding in the
wagon beside him. Garvin was in good
spirits when he left the jail and seemed
satisfied with his sentence

REPORTED PROGRESS,
The Committee on Transportation Not
Ready to Make a Recommendation on
Freight Discrimination-DuI Meeting
of the Chamber of Comperce

The Committee on Transportation No,
Ready to Make Recommendation OF
Freight Discrimination-Dun Meeting
of the Chamber of Commerce.
The Committee on Transportation and
Railroads was expected to make a report at
the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce
yesterday, but when the report was called
for the Chairman, James B. Scott, only an
swered: Progress" Many promi.
nent merchants and manufacturers were
present to hear the report. As result the
attendance. especially of outside people,
was larger than usual and the presence of a
number of new faces made many think that
something out of the ordinary was about to
occur. When this committee was called
upon and gave its report in one word the
surprise with which the whole meeting was
taken was plainly noticeable.
James 3. Scott in speaking of the matter
after the meeting, said: ''We have our
side of the matter of freight discrimination
fully looked into and thoroughly digested,
but We will not make report until we can
offer a comprehensive one. We want both
sides before we make any recommendations.
1t is simply absurd to expect a committee
to act alter few weeks consideration on a
subject which has been discussed before
this chamber for years and then nothing has
been accomplished"
Nothing but routine business occupied
the attention of the Chamber of Commerce
yesterday. The Committee on Rivers and
Harbors did not deem it advisable to send
delegates to the Nicaragua Canal Conven-
tion, as it thought, not going into the
merits Of the proposed canal, that the
Chamber of Commerce having put itself on
record as lndorsing the Tehuantepec Ship
Railroad, it would not be expedient to in
dorse the rival company. The report was
accepted.
The Committee on South American Trade
Relations reported in favor of giving
Charles Abel all the assistance possible in
the way of Endorsement and in securing
data for publication in Spanish relating to
the industries of Pittsburg, to be dis
tributed at the Worlds Fair. This report
was adopted and the committee continued
to cooperate with Mr. Abel in the prose-
cution of his work.

KISSED LIKE SNAKES.
Two Trolley Wires Fall Among Sew
eral Hundred People.
MIRACULOUS ESCAPES ARE MADE.
The serpents Leaped in the Air Shooting
Out Tongues of Fire.
MEN AND WOMEN ARE PANIC STRICKEN

Like snakes, two electric wires hissed,
shot out long fiery tongues and writhed and
leaped over the ground at Fourth avenue
and Grant street yesterday. No one was
hurt, but it was miracle.
The Duquesne, Second avenue and WyIie
avenue lines all run along Fourth avenue,
and at Grant street the Second avenue line
turns down the hill, the Duquesue con-
tinues on out Fourth avenue and the Wylie
avenue cars turn up Grant street. Yester-
day afternoon about o'clock, just as
Second avenue car was getting ready to
turn off Fourth avenue the trolley broke,
falling on the Duquesne's wire. The cars
kept coming up the avenue until it was q
solid blockade clear down to Smithfeld
street.
One by one the cars were emptied of their
passengers and the people all went up to
Grant street to see what was the matter.
When they were all gathered it made a
crowd of 200 or 300 people. The Second
avenue wire was still hanging over that of
the Duquesne. The people crowded
around to see what was going
on and a wagon was just pass
ing under the wires, when there was hiss
and a sound like that of gunshot Down
came the two wires. They leaped and
writhed about on the ground, shooting out
electric flashes in all directions. For mo-
ment there would be quiet spell, then
with a crash the wires would jump into the
air and the fire commence to fly again.
This kept up for several minutes, both
along Fourth avenue and Grant street.
Finally about 100 feet burned of each wire
and the current was in that way stopped.
The horse which was driven under the
wires at the time they fell, was hit, but es-
capped injury. The sightseers were crowded
clear out into the street looking at the
wires and when they fell there was nearly
panic. Men and women rushed up Grant
street, people were knocked down right
and left. Everybody was badly scared and
it was quite long time before anybody
would venture past the wires
The three roads were tied up most of the
afternoon. Many people visited the place
thinking they would see some novel sight.
The only things visible were some blush
marks along the ground where the wires had
burned,

TO EXTEND TEACHING,
The University Society Meet and Talk o.

The University Society Meet and Talk of
Spreading Their Work.
The University Extension Society of
Western Pennsylvania met last night in the
chapel of the First Presbyterian Church
on Wood street. Chancellor Holland pre-
sided. A large number of ministers at
tended. Speeches were made by Rev.
George Hodges, Rev. R. S. Holmes and
DR.. E. T Jeffers, formerly President of the
Westminster College. All talked in favor
of the extension of university teaching.
No definite action was taken at last
nights meeting, but Chancellor Holland
said that within few months the Uni
versity teaching will be extended to every
place where dozen or more people are
anxious to employ professor to do such
teaching. The cost of such professor, the
Chancellor said, would be absolutely
nothing, and the only expense attached to
such teaching would be the rental of hall
and the cost of lighting and heating it.

NAPOLEON IVES MARRIED.

He Welded Miss Helen Sears at Lockport
Recently-It Was q Love Match, and
They Were Engaged Before His Finan-
cial Embarrassment Occurred.
In connection with the visit Of Henry s.
Ives to Plttsburg yesterday, it was discoy-
cred by accident that he had recently been
married. When cornered he blushingly
admitted it was true, and said the cere-
mony had been performed in Lockport,
n. Y. He furnished the name of his bride,
and short biography of her was obtained
late last evening
The wedding took place on the 21st of the
month, and was conducted SO quietly that
hardly score of people know about the
matter at the present time. The bride is
Miss Helen Gertrude Sears, of Lockport.
She is very handsome young woman, "a
years of age, and is remark able for other gifts
beside beauty, having soprano voice of
rare quality and ample range and power
lovers of New York and Brooklyn, and
many highly capable artists have yainly
tried to persuade her to become profess
sional. In 1891 Mis-, Sears spent q season
in Paris, studying under the celebrated
Madame Marchesi. In addition to aJl thiss
the bride is q most charming person of
wide intelligence.
The marriage is strictly love match.
The young couple were engaged before the
deep waters of trouble closed over Mr..
Ives head, and the fact that he was i'm
prisoned pending trial, made no difference
to Miss Sears. The wedding was of the
simplest character. and only ten persons,
including the closest relatives of the bride,
were present. Mr.. and Mrs. Ives are now
living in house on Madison avenue, New
York, recently bought by the young hus-
band. Mrs Sears has accompanied her
daughter.
The young woman's father, when seen at
his home.in Lockport, N. Y, last night, de-
MED any knowledge Of his daughters mar
risge. He said that Gertrude had left for
New York last Wednesday. He under
stood that Mr.. Ives passed through Lock
port en- route for Buffalo week ago Sun
day, but did not stop.

Simon P. Rodocker, a fireman on the
Panhandle road, was given a hearing yes
ierday before Alderman Harkins, of the
Eleventh ward, Allegheny, on . charge of

until at the hearing yesterday.

er was working on the railroad and on their
advice came to the city and entered suit
against him. Mrs Rodocker said that she

ANOTHER SILVER BILL

The Association VIII Urge One on Congress
Until 1t Is Passed.
General A. j. Warner, of Marietta, went
to Washington last evening, where he is
building several electric roads. He says
the result of the election shows that the e1-
treme protective policy which makes it pos
sible for workmen and capitalists to organ
ize and secure more than their share OF
the earnings is failure Protection has
failed to maintain prices and free trade will
be no better. If the Democrats want to be
kicked out of office unceremoniously, all
they have to do is to take their financial
ideas from Wall street and permit Ken
lucky and Texas to make the tariff bill.
''The great issue in the next campaign"
he continued, "was suppressed by both
parties in the last one. The people will
never be satisfied until the bi-metallic
standard is restored. The. Free Silver
Association will present another bill this
winter, and we will continue to do SO until
it is passed. The party that refuses to in
dorse Tree silver in the future will be over
wbelmed"

THE EFFECT FAR REACHING.

How the Iron Hall Failure Has Injured
Secret Beneficial Societies.
An important meeting of Royal Arcanum
superior officers will be held in Philadel-
phia to-day. Colonel Chill Hazard left for
the Quaker City last evening. Since the
bad failure Of the Iron Hall the people
have distrusted the secret societies with in
surance features attached. The insurance
business of the orders has declined and the
Royal Arcanum with other organizations
has suffered. The Colonel says that the
State Supreme Court and the Michigan
courts have decided that the Royal Area
mum is a secret beneficial society and not a
private insurance concern. The officers
will issue circular to the public explain.
ing the difference with the hope that the
distrust will be removed.
