HELD FOR HOMICIDE.
The Inquest on the Baggageman
Killed in the b. & 0. Wreck.
THE ENGINEER AHEAD OF TIME.
Committed to Jail on o Charge Of
Criminal Carelessness.
BLINDED BY SMOKE FROM A FURNACE

Coroner Mcdowell held an inquest
yesterday afternoon in the case of Daniel j.
Kennedy, the b. & o. baggagemaster who
was killed in the wreck at Laughlln
Station last Thursday night.
Conrad Pickle, the conductor of the ac-
commodation train which was run into,
testified that his train was on time and had
the right of way, and it was the duty of the
train following to look out for him. He
then described the smash-up and the dam
age done. The witness also stated that he
was allowed nine minutes to run from
Laughlin to Pittsburg and that there
should be five minutes between trains be-
tween Glenwood and the city. His train
had been tagged at Laughlin to take on a
fagman, but did not lose more than one
minute.
John W. Settler, chief dispatcher of the
Pittsburg division, stated that the express
was two hours late and was allowed to fol-
low ten minutes behind the accommodation
as far as Glenwood and within five minutes
from there to the city. He said that if the
express ran into the accommodation within
five minutes of the time the latter was due
at Laughlin, the rules must have been vio-
lated.
Conductor Shipley, ofthe express, said that
they had gotten a white signal at Glen
wood and left there six minutes behind the
accommodation. At Hazelwood they were
just five minutes behind her and slowed up
for awhile and then went on again.
John Andy, the engineer, swore that he
shut off steam entirely at Marion and
dritted along until he saw some dim red
lights Hiu viaw ont off bv cloud of
smoke from the furnace. He put on the
air anyhow, but it did not act in time.
He said that he knew the accommodation's
time very well, and would not have run
into her if she had not been tagged.
The jury found that the express was
running ahead of its time, and held Andy,
the engineer. responsible. He was COM
mitted to Jail to await the action of the
grand Jury.

In A SARCASTIC VEIN.

Mayor Gourley's Veto of the Diamond
Street Resolution-Prods Councils for
Their SiIliness-He Is Unanimously Sus-
tanned for the First Time.
For the nrst time on record one of Mayor
Gourley's vetoes was unanimously sus-
tanned. 1t was on the resolution passed at
the previous meeting directing him to sign
a petition for widening Diamond street
from Smithfeld to Liberty. 1t came up in
Select Council and was sustained by every
vote present.
In his message the Mayor sarcastically
calls attention to the absence of any such
petition as he is directed to sign and asks
where it is, or if Councils have any official
knowledge of it. He had been unoficially
informed that petition to widen the street
from Smithtield street to the west side OF
the market house had been circulated, but
he was directed to sign one opening 1t
through to Liberty street 1t would be ex-
ceedingly unfortunate, he said, If he should
happen to get hold of the wrong petition
and sign it. and therefore he had concluded
to sign none at ALL
The necessity for the city, through the
Mayor, petittoning for the improvement is
figuratively laughed at by the Mayor If
the city owned property fronting on the
street there might be some excuse, but it
does not. The widening of the street and
the opening of street through the market
house are, in the Mayors opinion, two very
different propositions One affects the
property owners. and should be determined
by them. The other affects the city only,
and for Councils to petition Councils
through the Mayor to have it done would
be as absurd as for man to petition him.
self for the opening of road through
property he absolutely controls. He ques-
tions the right of Councils to instruct him
to petition them as the resolution directs
and is not satisfied the city has legal
right to open the street through the market
house. At any rate he would not sign the
petition because it places him in the
anomalous position of asking Councils to
pass an ordinance which the best interests
of the city might ultimately require him to
veto. He has no objection to widening
Diamond street if the majority of affected
property holders ask it, but is opposed to
what appears to him a deliberate attempt to
invoke the aid OF the city in legalizing .
petition that does not contain the necessary
majority.
Mr. Lambie raised the question that if
Councils should pass the resolution over the
veto they would accomplish nothing. as the
Mayor would not and could not be COM
PEELED to sign the petition.
Mr.. Warmcastle, who had presented the
resolution, explained that blunder had
been made in drawing it up to extend the
widening to Liberty street, but said it
made little difference now, as the Mayor
was opposed to the resolution on general
grounds.
Mr. Robertson declared the resolution
had been passed without proper considera-
ticn and that Councils were legally wrong
in presenting it to the Mayor.

Among the new bills presented was one
providing for the appointment of matrons

tion of this bill Mr.. Lambie, who is the
author of it, said that at present the fire.
men were compelled to pay out of their
own pockets for a janitress to come
each day to make up their beds, clean their
sleeping quarters, wash their bed linen,
towels and other work of that kind, and it
cost them heavily. By employing women
to do this work for salary of $40 month
it would be done better and cheaper, and
it was unfair to make the men pay for it.
An ordinance creating the Office and fix
ing the salary of a morgue superintendent
was presented in blauk. None of the Off
cials knew anything about it and were sur
prised to hear of it, inasmuch as there is no
city morgue to superintend. 1t was learned
that ex-Councilman James Williams caused
the bill to be presented ana that he desires
to get the position if the bill should by any
chance be passed. Other new business pre-
sented follows:
Ordinances opening Irwin avenue and

The talked-up resumption Of work at sne

A Fire Started by Oil Spreads Because
Water Could Not Be Had.
McKEEsPoRT, Nov. 14-[SpcciaE IA
square of nine houses and one grocery store
was burned here tonight. Five houses
were more or less damaged, and one was
torn down to check the spread OF the flames.
The excitement was terrible, because the
alarm was from densely built-up section,
and the one thought, in view of the water
famine, was that the city was doomed to de-
struction. Woods mill and the tube
works were shut down, and the employees
rushed to the fire. In less than q quarter
of an hour more than 10, 900 persons were in
the street.
No water could be had and the fremen
could do no more than see the fire spread
from building to building, doing what they
could to remove property from threatened
premises. After half all hour water from
the tube works was turned into the city
mains. and then began the fight. For two
hours the fremen made gallant fight,
aided by all the willing men who could find
room to work, and at the end of that time
the fire was under control.
A fine frame house that stood where its
destruction would imperil another block of
dwellings was torn down. From the dwell
ing houses burned q great deal of the
movable effects were saved. The aggre-
gated losses are 500, 900, which fall in part
as follows: James Brown, grocer, loss,
$4,000; insurance, $500. John Jaycoy and a
Mrs Snyder were the next heaviest losers.
This property was valued at $1,000; insur-
ance, $1,000. All the remaining loss has
no insurance worth mentioning.

A villainous attempt to murder Mrs George

"A Lawrenceville Man Has a More

WANTS TO BE POSTMASTER,

E. G. Lang Is Willing to Handle Mail for
Allegheny Citizens.
E. G. Lang, of Allegheny, has given up
his intention of contesting the election OF
E. Wertheimer to the Legislature, it is said,
and will make vigorous fight for the Post
mastership of Allegheny. A dozen or more
petitions have been prepared, which will
be put in circulation this morning, and the
fight kept up until the appointment shall
have been made.
Mr.. Lang is quoted as having said yester-
day that he believes he was honestly elected
on Tuesday, and that he could he could win
the contest if he felt disposed to prosecute
it. But he would rather have the postofice
than seat in the Pennsylvania Legislature,
and believing he has an excellent chance to
receive an appointment he has concluded
not to bother with the election contest
