A Naturalization Applicant Who Had Never
Heard of President Harrison.
'T have made new rule in my court, I"
said Judge Harry White, of Indiana
county, last night Yesterday the Chair
man of the Republican County Committee
presented German for naturalization. The
fellow had gone through all the prelim-
naries and was ready to take out his last
papers He seemed to be intelligent and
got along first rate until it came to answer
ing the questions 1 usually put to the ap-
plicants
''The man was placed under oath. The
first question asked him was whether he
knew who Ben amin Harrison was. He re-
mained silent awhile and finally declared
he had never heard of him. My applicant
had lived in America Is years and the
State. L thought he ought to know some
thing about the Government and politics of
Pennsylvania, so asked him what political
party Governor Pattison belonged to. He
promptly answered.: The Republican. Then
l questioned him about the Constitution and
he did not know that the country was Dos
sessed of snch thing. As last resort I
inquired if he could read or write. He
answered No
"This last satisfied me that the country
was better without such citizens. l then
refused to naturalize him and made rule
that no man would receive, through my
courts, the rights of citizenship who could
not read, write and understand the consti-
tuition"

found on board and the passengers were all
in good health. They were anchored in
the lower bay. While lying there
the wyoming, which had been in quar-
antine for FIVE days and was released
passed the Spree. The passengers were in
fue spirits and were cheering in great
style Their Joy was cut short, however,
for suddenly two children died, and Dr.
jenkins ordered them back until
post mortem was held. Then
there was wailing and gnashing
of teeth. The passengers claimed that the
children had been smothered from the
fumes of sulphuric acid used in fumigating
the ship. 1t was also reported that the

Water Improvements Discussed.
All heads of the various Allegheny city
departments held conference with Mayor
Kennedy yesterday morning and discussed
the question of finances 1t was found that
at the I'd of the year, notwithstanding the
expenses incurred in the cleaning of the
city, there will be balance of about SIS, 900
in the City Treasury. The matter of get
ting city water from up the river was also
talked over, and all the officials expressed
anxiety to have it done, as they deem it
good thing to do.
The question of street improvements also
came up. The Mayor has over 500 letters
from citizens requesting that all of the
principal business streets be improved.
The old pavements are costing the city $780,
600 per year About 20 miles of new pave
ment will have to be put down. If done
the material used will be either asphalt,
brick or Ligonier block. Councils will be
requested to give the Mayor power to have
committees selected from each ward in
order that the matter of issuing bonds to
cover the amounts necessary to change the
water system and improve the streets
may be gone over. 1t is the expectation to
then put the matter to vote, which can be
done early in November. The money re-
quired will be over 81, ,000,0

CHARGED WITH MURDER.

Frank Gsrvin Hold for Court by the Coro-
ner's Jury-The Details of the Tragedy
Recounted by witnesses-Date of Fune-
raj Not Fixed.
1t took the Coroner's jury five minutes
yesterday to render verdict on the death
of Mrs. Frank Garvin, who was shot and
killed by her husband on Friday. The
young man was held to answer a charge o
murder. When brought into the Coroner's
Office Franks nervous condition had
not improved, and if anything he
was worse than on the day before. Thomas
NJ. Marshall appeared for him at the in
quest and will defend him at the trial.
Only testimony bearing direct on the shoot
ing was taken. Mrs. Weaver identified the
body of her niece, and said she didn't know
she had been married until she heard it
after the murder. Police Captain Agnew
told how he had arrested Frank Garvin,
and DR.. McCandless explained the course
and effect of tine four bullets, all of which
was published in The DISPATCH of yester-
day. Captain Agnew then took the young
man back to Jail.
1t has not been decided when Mrs. Gar
vim will be buried. Late Yesterday after
noon she was removed to Harry Redpath's
house on Clark street. Ed Redpath tele-
graphed from Chicago that he was on
his way here, and directed Undertaken
Willson to prepare the body. AS the fam
lily lives in the Windy City it may be pos
sible that Cora will be buried there. No
arrangements will be made for the funeral
until Ed arrives Mr.. Willison thinks she
will be buried here this afternoon or to-
morrow.
The Redpath family in Chicago are pros
trated over the death of the daughter. The
mother had received a letter from Cora say
ing she had married Garvin, and ask
ing her forgiveness. She stated she
would explain further in her next letter. The
family was discussing why she had married
secretly, when a telegram announcing her
death was received. Mrs. Redpath, after
she had calmed herself, said Frank and
Cora had been engaged for several years.
She couldn't understand why he had COM
mitted the crime, as he appeared to be a
devoted lover.
In the Garvin household grief reigned
supreme. The poor old mother can't be
consoled, and she wished a thousand times
it was her son that had been
killed. The family are firmly convinced
the bov was not in his right mind when he
fired the shots.
Among the letters taken from Garvin's
pocket was one from Cora in Chicago dated
August 2. 1t was full of loving terms and
she acknowledges the receipt of 500 She
had not seen him for eight months, and ex-
presses the hope that they would soon meet.

Frances James, a Young Girl, Induced to
Come Here by n Janitor.
Detective Robinson last night arrested
Christopher Kent, the colored janitor OF
Davis Museum, on charge of abducting
Frances James, a 14-year-old girl, from her
home in Lakewood, N. Y. About two
months ago Kent came to Pittsburg from
jamestown, where he first became acquainted
with the girl while she was visiting friends
there. Kent is almost white, and being a
smooth talker and good looking he soon
won the affections of the girl, who is of a
romantic turn, and after securing job here
at the Davis Museum he wrote the girl to
come to him and sent her money to pay her
fare. She arrived one day last week and
has been stopping at the Pennsylvania
House, Kent paying her board.
Last night Officer McSweany, of James
town, arrived, and notified the police de-
partments of both Pittsburg and Allegheny
of the affair, and in short time Kent was
behind the bars.

TARIFF CLUB ARRANGES FOR A TRIP

Major A. M. Brown, the Pittsburg at
torney, finally settled the Lawrence Butler
judicial deadlock last night without
being called upon to make even .
move Ex-senator Greer, OF Butler.
was finally nominated as the
Republican candidate at 10:55, Just an
hour and three minutes within the limit
fixed for nominations by the Baker ballot
law. At that time the eonferees met again
and Major Brown was summoned to settle
the difficulty. When Major Brown
entered the room Mr.. Wallace, the
Lawrence county candidate, arose and. in
brief speech, withdrew in favor of ex-
Senator Greer. Mr.. Greer was therefore
nominated by reclamation.
The conferees met at the Anderson early
in the day. but they sat about and talked
with the friends of the two candidates until
2 o'clock in the afternoon. Then the eight
conferees went into session and discussed
the matter for over an hour and it was de-
cided to take recess for an hour
TAX d to Both Candidates.
In the meantime the candidates were sent
for, and both talked in an informal way for
about half an hour. At o'clock the con-
ferees again went into session. They took
several fruitless ballots and again adjourned
until $50 last night. 1t was just 1880, how
ever, when they got together again, and it
was II o'clock when they adjourned.

the way of compromise" Senator Greer,
the Butler candidate, said
'We have done the same thing" Mr..
Wallace, the Lawrence county candidate,
said.

under the surface ugly feeling has developed
not only between the candidates, but among
their adherents.
Each candidate had with him his friends
and hackers, and during the entire afternoon
the lobby of the Anderson looked as though
O State convention was in session some
where in the neighborhood.
Had but Little Time Left.
During the entire day there was much
talk of both candidates running independ-
ent. For either or both of them to get their
names on an independent ticket they will be
forced to circulate a petition and secure
thereon the names of 400 voters of the
Judicial district
The time for making the nomination ex-
pired at midnight. The nomination must
be certified to the Secretary OF the Common
wealth not later than Monday, Septem-
Der IL.
The certificate of Senator Greer's nomina-
tion will be sent to Harrisburg this morning
and will be filed early tomorrow.
Some little difficulty was experienced last
night in securing a notary to have the
nomination papers perfected before mid
night. The notary was finally found and
the papers were perfected just IL minutes
before midnight.

who was killed by train at Munhall, was
taken to his home at Cooperstown last

1t is probable that an attempt will be

the courts on the ground of violation. The

complainants and it is said there are nearly

There is an entire absence of water in parts
OF the ward, it is claimed, during the dav

there would be no salvation of property
possible. 1t is stated further that there is
no water in the school and the jauitor must
carry supply from a hydrant several
blocks down the hillside. School Director
Torrance says the water company has been
appealed to repeatedly, but the only salts
faction received was that it was not the

Small Packages.

Chlorine is the disinfecting property of
