George N. Riley, one of the State Worlds
Fair Commissioners, went to New York
last evening. He said the Executive Com
mittee would meet at Harrisburg on the
10th. The commission has the work so di-
vided up that it is not necessary for them to
meet very often. Mr.. Riley is pleased with
the progress being made and the interest
manifested. He thinks they will be able to
keep within the appropriation of $500, 600
and still have all exhibit that will do credit
to the State. He said:
I think that oil and gas will have place
in the Fair. TIE Chicago people are taking
great precautions against fire, and If any
body saw the wooden frames Of the build

buildings are finished there will be less dan
ger from fire. and we can soon convince the
managers that oil and gas, when handled by
experts, are perfectly safe. Pittsburg's
manufactures will be well represented.

weaIth-Councfls Scored.
Citizens of the Fifth ward, Allegheny,
were out for the official scalp of Controller
Brown last night at the ward school house.
The meeting was impromptu, having been
originated in the afternoon. Only very
few OF the citizens knew of any such meet
ing until they were going home after busi-
ness hours So eager we're some to attend
that they went direct to the schoolhouse
before going home for supper.
Joseph Albree having been elected chair
man, appointed a Committee on Resoln-
tions, who recommended the election of
John S. Slagle as Controller.
Previous to the unanimous adoption of
these resolutions Attorney j. n. Patterson
SAID: "There is not one of us who does not
know that almost every oficeholder in AL
1egheny City is either dishonest or
incompetent. The only trustworthy one
is man so wears old and he does
not know the duties OF his office. Every
one is aware that men who have filled Offices
for years are now worth more than the total
amount of the salary received, yet they

from the Mayor down, has prostituted his
trust for dishonest purposes"
The resolutions were signed by those
present, and will be presented to Councils.
Mr. Thompson Wachab, of the Eleventh
ward, was called on for a speech. He scored
Controller Brown, saying he was incom-
petent, if not negligent, in not detecting
the Market Clerks shortage, reporting the
street railroad company's shortage of $780,
900 and the gas money due amounting to
$4,000 He said, in conclusion, that the
Pleasant Valley Company would pay $780,
600 to retain Controller Brown in Office. He
denounced the Council for considering the
reelection of James Brown.
The following signed the petition at the
meeting:

THE WATER Is TOO THICK.

Fire Director Humphreys Objects to Mud
as an Extingusher.
. Fire Director Humphries in his report
for March, during which 70 alarms were
turned in for fires causing an aggregate loss
of SS7, ,995, says:
The frequent rise and fall in our rivers
causes q large accumulation of dirt and
sediment in our water pipes, more especially
at the outlet OF water plugs; As conse-
the first few moments, have a stream con-
tanning muchlarger percentage of so called
mud than water This not only retards our
progress, but is very severe both upon the
hose and engines In large measure this
could be remedied by a more frequent OPEN
ing and consequent washing out of all
plugs.

DIED AFTER SCHOOL.
Jacob Lortz, Growing Despondent
From Being Removed From
THE POSITION HE HELD FOR LIFE
Throws himself Under the Wheels Of .
Train and Is Killed.
SUICIDES AT sEvENTY-SIX YEARS

Jacob Lortz, an old worn-out school
life under the wheels of train on the Pitts
burg, Virginia and Charleston Railroad, or
at least this is the opinion of the citizens Of
that borough.
Mr. Lortz was 76 years old. For many
years he had conducted a little school at
Germantown, suburb OF Duquesne. So
long had he been an instructor that three
fourths of the people Of Duquesne, who
to-day are turning gray, received
their early instruction from him.
With his increase of years he was Of
course incapacitated for duty, and a short
time ago he was deposed.
The Evening of Life Grew Dark.
With his situation, which had been his
lifelong pleasure, gone, the old man
grew Respondent and life no longer
held anything good for him. 1t
was his wont to say he had
taught the people all thev knew, and now,
since he had grown old and could least
afford to be idle, these same men had cast
him off,
He took little house at Germantown,
where he kept bstchelor's hail. Lortz's
finances became so low that he could not
pay the little rent demanded for his house
and after several notices, few days ago the
constable put him out. He was offered
another small place at Oliver station and
yesterday moved his few small effects, the
most of the latter being little library Of
books, to his new home. Arriving there
he grew homesick for his former
home at Germantown and the neighbors
could not console him.
Just before noon he went to the railroad,
which passed close to his door and sat on
the side Of the track until the train, about
o'clock came by.
Walked Calmly to His Death.
Just before it reached him he arose and
walked away from it, the engineer whistled
for down brakes, but before the train was
stopped it was upon him and had thrown
him to one side. The few neighbors who
saw the casualty ran and picked him up and
took him into his house. DR.. Bodkin ar
rived shortly, but Lortz died in few min
utes
The facts developed at the inquest, and
the opinions ofthe neighbors, substantiated
the belief that suicide was intended, but,
as it was only an opinion, verdict of acci-
dental death was necessarily rendered.
The body is now lying at an undertaker's
in Duquesne. 1t will be kept there until
his friends, if he has any, are hunted up.
But very little is known Of Lortz's private
life or his relatives. It is thought he
has a son somewhere in Pittsburg. The
opinion is also advanced that he had been
married twice and the second wife was still
alive, but where she is no one knows

the Kelley methods without knowing any
thing about the principle.

O'BRIEN WAS DECEIVED.
Nothing in That Wild-Eyed Mazeppa-Like
Story From Imperial.

story FROM Imperial.
General Agent O'Brien, of the Humane
Society, returned from Imperial yesterday
afternoon, where he had been to prosecute
the case against d. B. Ayres, a railroad
man, whose home is at Turtletown. Ayres
was charged with cruelty to his 16-year old
daughter, it being alleged he tied strap
about his daughters wrist and getting on
horse drove hurriedly along muddy coun-
try road, dragging his child after him. 1t
was further alleged that he beat the girl
when their home was reached.
The hearing in the case was held before
Squire John Wilson, and as none of tile
allegations could be verified Agent O'Brien
asked for the discharge of the father. He
had based the information on statements re-
ceived, but had been deceived. Avres had
all the farmers and other persons of the
township to testify to his good character
The girl is greatly overgrown for her age,
and it was alleged that she did not attend to
her home duties as she should.
