The Big Sewers to Be Cleaned To-day
Pittsburg Teamster Arrested for
Dumping Garbage on Herr's Island
Many Filth Reports From the Police.
Mayor Kennedy and Chief. Murphy, of
Allegheny, were attending anti-cholera
meetings in Pittsburg during the greater
part of yesterday, but the work of
cleaning went on across the river. The en-
tire force of the street bureau, 200 men,
were engaged in scraping and sweeping the
streets during the hours when the rain did
not prevent work. Four gangs were out
with fire hose assisting the rain to wash
of the pavements and clean out the
cutters. 1t had been intended to have men
enter the sewers yesterday and begin clean
ing them thoroughly, but there was too
much water in them. This work will be
commenced to-day. The big 1O-foot sewer
draining the Butchers Run district will be
attacked first ALI deposits in it will be
removed Late yesterday afternoon the
Mayor and Chief Murphy visited the mouth
of this sewer and arranged to have the bear
trap lowered, so that there will be treer
outflow, carrying the sewage further out
into the river The other sewers will be
cleaned as rapidly as possible.
Inv pOllCC w iusthe
many reports to the Health Office of unclean
houses, yards and alleys. As these reports
are received health inspectors are sent out
to notify the people to clean up.
The police officers having been directed
to arrest all persons who dump garbage on
vacant lots or along the river banks, Officer
McNimery brought in culprit yesterday
morning. He caught August Miller, of
No. 1851 Butler street, dumping load of
kitchen garbage on Herr's Island near the
Emil Winter abattoir. Miller is q regular
garbage hauler in Pittsburg. He was
charged with having violated city ordi-
nance, and will have hearing this MORN
ing.
The police, health and street bureaus of
Allegheny are now all working together to
get the city clean. There is great work to
do, but they are progressing finely. Mayor
Kennedy is well pleased with what is being
done, and says that in every respect, except
in regard to the water supply, Allegheny
will be prepared for visitation of the
dr. eadful scourge from India

Garbage on the River Banks.
Colonel Roberts said he had just made .
trip along the wharfs of the two rivers. He
had found many points where garbage had
accumulated. Ali kinds of decayed vege-
tables, he said, were floating in both rivers.
He recommended that the authorities en-
plov officers to patrol the wharfs and keep
them clean. He also advised that the dump
boats now in use either be burned or dis
infected.
Just before the meeting adjourned Cap.

Lizzie Gwynne the First Defendant Con-
victed at This Term Of Court.
The case of Lizzie Gwynne, II years old,
of Miff1in township, charged with perjury,
was heard before Judge Kennedy's court yes
terday. This is somewhat sensational
case, which arose out of grave charges made
by the girl against young man named j.
Davidson. She made information before
Alderman Skelly charging Davidson with
telonious assault at picnic. The defendant
was discharged at his preliminary hearing.
She afterwards charged her father, Justice of
the peace of the township. with serious
crime, and he is now in jail on the charge
Davidson then made information against
the girl, charging her with perjury in
swearing falsely at the hearing at which he
was defendant The girl was placed on the
stand in her own defense yesterday, and
firmly maintained that the allegations
made against both Davidson and her
father were true, but the jury thought
otherwise and found her guilty of perjury.
She was sentenced to the reform school at
Morganza until she becomes of age.

CLINTON MILLS TO START,

After Several Tilts With the Amaleamated
Association the Company Finally De-
cides to SiRn-The Difficulties De-
scribed-workw Will Commence Wednes-
d,y.
The Clinton mills will sign the scale this
morning and will start up Wednesday. 1t
was to have been signed yesterday, but the
scale was brought to the mill after the MEM
bers of the firm had gone home. The Clin-
ton mills and the Amalgamated Associa-
tion have been fitting for some time past.
The mills, with the exception of the blast
furnaces have been shut down for the past
most or the employees have sought places
elsewhere. The first anpleasantness oc-
CURED when the firm refused to take back
roller who had engaged himself at the Re-
public Iron Works while the Clinton was
shutdown. He came to the firm request
ing his old position. They said they would
take him back, but they would pay him by
salary, not by tonnage. Of course he OBJ
jected to this, and reported the matter to
the Amalgamated, who had a conference
with the firm without any result. Tho
matter laid dormant for while, and the
roller finally withdrew his\case, saying he
would stick to the job he had.
The next fight occurred when the firm
took back one of their old rollers, who the
Amalgamated people claim, was holding
down non-union job in Sharpsburg during
the shutdown. Friendship Lodge held
meeting yesterday morning to consider the
advisability of, as they term it, "white
washing the non-union roller" and after
long debate the man was taken
into the lodge by vote of % to 6.
He was granted card and so
everything, was smoothed over. Messrs.
Hoffstot and Freund told the men that the
scale was satisfactory to them and that they
would sign tomorrow morning. 1t is the
intention of the firm to start up Wednesday
morning if the coal arrives tomorrow. The
men are quite iubilant over the signing Of
the scale and the starting of the works. as
many have had pretty hard work to get
along during the shutdown.

CASE OF CONSPIRACY.

A Steamship Agent Says He Was Induced
to Buy a Share in an Insolvent Business
Claims He Lost Over $50, 5,00O-one
Jury Disagreed.
In Judge McClung's branch of the Grim
inal Court L. d. Strauss and L. L. Satler
were placed on trial for conspiracy. The
prosecutor is Louis Moeser, the steamship
agent. The case was tried at the March
term of court, but the jury disagreed.
Strauss and Satler, it is alleged, were in
the lumber business as the Pittsburg Lum-
Der Company. They induced Moeser to
purchase an interest in the firm, claiming
the business was in good shape. when in
reality they were insolvent. With what he
paid for the interest and for debts Moeser
claims he lost over S35, 900.
Moeser testified to seeing an advertise
ment published by James w. Drape calling
for partner in the lumber business. He
went to see Drape who arranged meeting
between him and Strauss & Satler. The
latter represented to Moeser that the bust
ness was in good shape and submitted to
him an inventory. 1t showed the assets to
be S26, 406 "a over the debts and liabilities
They owned property valued at SIS, $780,
merchandise accounts of $29,978 II and
outstanding accounts payable of S18, 424 SO.
The profits in 1889 they said were S16, 923 OF.
Moeser, for one-third interest paid $13,-
203 a. After he got into the firm Moeser
saw the books and learned that the business
was in bad condition. Pages of the books
had been cut out, entries, had been altered
and improper entries made. One piece of
property had been bought for Sc, 800 and in
the deed and on the books the price was
made S12,0 ,000 When Moeser discovered
the condition of affairs he went into Court
and had receiver appointed. He has had,
however, to pay s22, 900 since for debts of
the firm for which he had become liable,
making his total loss over $50, 900.
Thomas McCaferty, the real estate agent,
testified to having sold Strauss and Taller
the property for Sc, 800, and putting $4,000
in the deed at their request
Other witnesses testified as to the amount
of stock the firm had on hand, entries in the
books, etc The case is still on trial.
AT the former trial the defense was q de-
niai of the charge of Misrepresentation as
to the S12, 900 in the deed, they said it was
put in to enable them to place good mort
gage on it.

The District Attorney Allows Plea Of Not
Guilty in the Case of Harry Cohen.
A verdict of not guilty was taken with
the consent of the District Attorney in the

by bailee. Cohen is a jeweler at McKee's
Rocks Thomas Laney, the prosecutor,
left watch with him for repairs When it

At the first trial Cohen was found guilty,
but Judge Stove did not consider the YER
dict proper and granted new trial Judge
Kennedy agreed with the views expressed
by Judge Stowe, and yesterday the verdict of
not guilty was taken.

entertained by kind friends at the best clubs
and about the city generally. This certainly
is city where one can spend a few weeks at
this time Of the year very pleasantly. have
been impressed by many things, but what
has struck me especially is the uniformity
with which the brand of o. F. C. Whisky Is
used by club men and gentlemen generally.
inquired of my friends the reason for this
and was informed that, from the multitude
of whiskies upon the market, they had found
more healthful effects and a finer taste in
the o. F. C. than in any other whisky used
by the better classes. found it very palat-
able, and will also add that while its effects
were exceedingly pleasing, in no case did I
observe the slightest injurious effects either
upon myself or any of my friends"
