and did so. He never had conversation
with the Mayor on the subject.
When Glenn had finished, Mr.. Patterson,
with the approval of District Attorney
Burleigh, said that under the evidence he
could not conscientiously ask for convic-
tion, and he would therefore make motion
to nolle pros the case.
Judge Porter said the case would have to
go to the jury.
Mr. Robb, for the defense, asked the
court to have the costs placed on the county.
Judge Porter then briefly outlined the
case to the jury, and referred to the system
of cashing warrants, as testified to, as repre-
hensible. 1t might give rise to some ques-
tions if they were raised between Allegheny
City and county. He informed the jury
that if they thought the defendant negli-
gent they could place the costs on him or
on the prosecutor or county, or divide
them.
The jury in verv short time returned a
verdict of not guilty, and placed the costs
on the county. ....
The Court Suppresses Applause.
When the verdict was announced there
was some applause and Judge Porter or
dered the lobby cleared. Commodore
Rodgers and J. f. Beilstein were brought
ing, saying he was carried away by his feel
ings He aBlogized and departed. Bell
stein said he had made no noise and was
also allowed to 60.
Clerk McMasters, In defense of the
methods in the Treasurer's office last night,
said: ''The method of issuing warrants is
that the person who gets one must first get
an order for it from the Controller then Sc
cure the warrant from the Commissioners,
have it countersigned by the Controller and
then present it at the Treasurer's Office.
All business houses have their agents or
collectors as have the cities, and these men
have always been allowed to indorse the
warrants. 1t was perfectly regular, but If
the Court objects we will hereafter accept
no warrants unless indorsed by the person
legally entitled to the money or to a mes
senger with letters authorizing him to make
the collection"

SENT BACK TO GERMANY.
Annie Wagner Returned to Europe as q
Pauper Immigrant.


Pauper Immigrant.
The walls of Annie Wagner, an alleged
German pauper who was being sent back to
Europe, stirred up the sympathy of large
crowd of people at the Union depot last
evening. She was in charge of tat young
man who said he worked at the Poor Farm,
but he couldn't or wouldn't relate any of
the facts in the case. Meanwhile Annie
broke down completely, and sobbed like q
little girl. She was buxom creature about
25 years old, strong and willing to work,
and looked more like a welldressed woman
than q pauper immigrant.
The fat man, who acted as keeper, was
questioned further, and it was developed
that she was neither insane nor criminal
George Booth was going to New York, and
remarked that it was a shame to return
such girl to Germany. She would make
a good servant, and goodness knows they
are scarce enough in America The man
with the adipose tissue claimed he was car
rying out the orders of Chief Elliott and
Immigrant Inspector Layton. Annie
couldn't talk English, but between her sobs
she said in German that her cousin had paid
her fare across the ocean and that he was
willing to help her.

Good Outlook for Business.

w. L. Bowlus. commercial agent for the
Wabash road in this territory, is stopping
at the Monongahela House. He thinks the
prospects for business are very bright. "Rsil-
road men," he remarked, care in better
position to judge of the outlook than most
people. They meet the shippers in every
branch of trade and hear what they have to
say. Just now the inquiries for rates are
very numerous. The farmers have paid of
their mortgages and taxes, and the proceeds
from the grain they sell now will be used
in buying machinery and making improve
ments -

ter Not guilty was the verdict and the
county to pay the costs. When the case was
resumed in the morning, the first witness
was F. B. Donaldson, member of the front
office force under Mayor Pearson. He testi-
fed to getting money on warrants drawn in
favor of the Mayor by indorsiug the
Mayors name. The money went to pay ex-

He was on the frontofice force under
Mayor Pearson. He testified to getting
money in the same manner as former wit

tom. He knew of the ordinance providing
for the fees going to the city, but under
stood that it referred to city fees or costs
and not to county fees

Detective John Glenn testified to getting
one warrant cashed. He was told at the

WANAMAKER WON'T RESIGN.

| His Relations With the President the Most
CordiaI-Captain Baker Says Mrs. Pax
son Is Booming Her Husband at Wash
ington.
Captain Jesse NJ Baker, of Media, Chair
man of the Committee on Appropriations
in the last Legislature. and Representative
S. b. Cochrane, of Kittanning, registered at
the ST Charles yesterday. The Captain
said he was here on social visit, and dur
ing the morning made a trip to the Nc
Donald oil field The talk drifted to
national politics, and Mr. Baker said: 81
don't think Wanamaker intends to resign
from the Cabinet, and know that week
ago the most cordial relations existed be-
tween him and tine President. L
had occasion to see Mr. Vans
maker at the time about some
Presidential appointments in the postoffice,
and he was then in high favor with Mr..
Harrison. In my opinion the best posted
man in Washington is Colonel Dinsmore,
the doorkeeper at the White House, who
spends his time looking for cranks. L
found the Colonel very Intelligent man,
and received blesinformation from
him.
"Just now Mrs. Paxson is making great
stir at the capital working for the appoint
ment of her husband to the vacant seat on
the SUPREME bench. She is hard worker,
and is doii.g great deal of good for the
Pennsylvania Supreme Justice. / heard 1t
limited that one of the Cabinet officers might
get the place Attorney General Miller is the
man, but l think the President is afraid
that he is not heavy enough to fill the posi-
tion. The Supreme Judges travel in very
fast company
81 don't know what Pennsylvania will
do, but Harrison has certainly made a good
President. There is no man in the State
who can say that he has the ear of Mr.. Har-
rison. Senator Cameron told me some time
ago that he didn't blame the President for
treating him as he did. He invited it, and
expected him to act toward him as he has
done. The Senator said he wouldn't ask
tor anything, and he hasn't. Harrison was
very unpopular until he made his Western
trip, and hardly know how he turned the
tide, but he came back a stronger man, and
he hasn't lost his grip"

It may come to pass yet that

and ruin party of impracticable
1t may yet become a necessity
that the two old parties shall
lock shields in opposition to Il

The line of fight between the
people and plutocracy is being
drawn closer and palmer every
day. Certain newspapers no
longer advocate the measures
that will benefit their people
and State. Certain newspapers
are now congratulating the
country (the monopolies) upon
the defeat of silver, when the
great mass of the people around
these papers are almost solidly
for it. These papers could tri-
de with and fool the people
until the people began to study
their needs for themselves, to
learn their rights and dare de-
mand them. We would like to
know which papers down South
got the 100000 that was sent
down here to convince the news
papers, and they to the people
that a man opposed to free
coinage Of silver should be
nominated for President. II
there is any paper that thinks
we refer to it, Of course it can
make a denial.

HOW THEY VOTED.

For principle or party policy,
both parties in the House went
on record last week on the free
coinage silver bill, which had
passed the Senate. A large
majority of the Democrats in
the House of Representatives
voted in favor of silver. The
affirmative Democratic vote was
11S, and the negative 81. The
Republicans, on the other hand,
cast a large majority of their
votes in the negative-namely,
6O-and only 8 in the affirma-
tive. Ten Alliance men voted
with the Democrats.
