THOSE CAPITOL STEPS.
The Deputy acknowledgements 0pin-
ion to the Commissioners.
He Says tho Appropriation of $4,000
Can Be Used, Even Though the
Work be Uncompleted.

The question as to whether or not the
Capitol Commissioners propose to do any
more work in the way OF building granite
steps in the park is as yet undecided.
It is well-known fact that the T.egis-
lature Of 1889 appropriated $3.50, with
which to build ten flights of granite steps
in the Capitol grounds, but as the CON
tract was let by the days labor, the whole
amount was consumed in the construc-
ton Of four flights and the half of an
other.
The last Legislature appropriated only
$4,000 with which to complete the re-
mainder of the tiers in the park, and sew
eral weeks ago, when the Capitol Com
missioners called for bids for doing the
work, the lowest bid was S9,000-S3, 000
more than the Commissioners had to
spend.
The matter was dropped until few
days ago, when one Of the Commission
ers conceived the idea that the law might
be so construed as to permit Of such por-
ton of the work being done as $4,000
would pay for.
The attention of Deputy Attorney Gen

Mrs. Danahey Watches by Her Sons Bed
side Until Stricken Down.
By the unexpected death of Mrs. Mar
garet Danahey, at her residence, No. H9
Main street, yesterday, a sad story is made
public W. l. Danahey, son of the de-
ceased, was one of the many newspaper cor
respondents sent to Homestead during the
recent labor riot A few days after his ar
rival young Danahey, contracted typhoid
fever. He was confined to his room in the
hotel, but his mother, knowing that her boy
could not receive the proper attention, had
him removed to his home in the West End.
Here he WAS given the most faithful care
and his mother was untiring, in her efforts
to save her boy. Many nights she was by
his bedside until the gray of morning ap-
peared and it was all the sufferer could do
to induce his parent to take a much needed
rest One afternoon Mrs Danahey did not
approach her sons bedside. He waited
patiently for her coming but in vain.
At last he asked for her
and was nearly broken-hearted when
he was informed that the mother who had
assisted him in fighting the dreaded disease
had succumbed to the same malady. Mrs.
Danahev never rose from her bed after
ward. She laid in a delirium until 2:30
o'clock yesterday afternoon when she died.
Mrs. Danahey is the widow of the late
Daniel Danahey Her funeral will take
place at o'clock tomorrow from her resi-
dence. Services at st. James Church.

MEASLES ON TROY HILL

Several Deaths Owing to Lack of Prompt
Medical Attention.
Nearly every family on Troy Hill has
had one or more cases of measles within the
last few week. DR.. ]. 7. MCGEE said he
had innumerable cases within very short
time, besides eight cases of typhoid fever.
The physician said he could give no rea-
son for the prevalence of typhoid fever, as
that part of Allegheny has an excellent
sanitary system and the drainage is good.
sThere is little if any malaria here" he
continued" and am at loss to account
for the prevalence of the dis
ease. Fortunately the typhoid patients
are not confined to any one neighbornood,
and there is not much danger of it becom-
ing dangerous, as the cases are quickly re-
ported and a physician Is called before it
assumes any alarming phases. With the
other complaint there is less care shown.
Nearly every child upon Mt. Troy has had
the measles or is now suffering with it. In
number of instances entire fam
lilies have been down at once, and there
have been some few deaths. The people
here do not attach much Importance to the
ailment and use their own preparations and
herbs until the case becomes alarming by
the patient taking cold. Then physician
is called, but oftentimes it is too late and the
little one dies But it is diminishing now,"
he concluded, "and we think the worst is
over"

FOURTH RELIGIOUS FEAST.

Tho Catholics VIII Tomorrow Celebrate
Assumption Day-Origin Of the Festival
and How the Occasion Will Be Observed
Throughout Civilization.
Tomorrow is the fourth holy day of obli-
CATION in the Christian year, commemorat-
ing the assumption of the Blessed Virgin
Mary, and all of the Catholic churches in
the city will celebrate the occasion with
full services.
A Pittsburg priest yesterday speaking of
the occasion said: ''The tradition of this day
has been handed down for 1900 years from
one generation to another in the Catholic
Church. Upon the 18th of August, some Is
years after the death of Christ. the sainted
mother of the Son of God, made man, re-
linquished her hold upon life of mortality
and her soul passed away to heaven. Aftr

bore the inanimate form of she who had
given birth to the Savior to heaven, where the
soul and the body were again Joined as
they had been in life. This was the re-
ward from the Almighty Ruler to the
daughter of man for bearing the Holy Son
Of God. This in the Catholic religion an
ticipates the general resurrection of man.

how the mortal bodies and spiritual souls
will be Joined together in heaven.

cism obtains will the day be celebrated with
auspicious ceremonies In Pittsburg the
day will be observed as Sunday and mass
will be celebrated at 6, Z, s and o'clock

members are obliged to attend mass upon
these days as they are upon Sundays and
generally more elaborate services are rem

'In agricultural parts of the country As
sumption Day is considered the same as
Harvest Day among other sects and thanks
are rendered to God for the summer
blessing he has bestowed. The date, August
15, has been one of religious observance
from time immemorial It was upon this
day, as near as history tells, that the Greeks
rendered homage to Cere, the goddess of
agriculture, and made great sacri-
fees at her altar. In Eastern coun-
tries, as in all parts of the world,
the day was one of religious OBJ
servsnce, and even to-day in the newly
settled countries the religious observe the
time and render thanks to their Deity.
Catholics the world over feel their duty is
but half done if their wheat and oats are not
harvested before the holy day of Assump-
tion of the Blessed Virgin Mary"

The Passenger Business This Summer Is
Phenomenal

The Passenger Business This Summer Is
Phenomenal
There is no let up in the excursion bust
ness. All the lines out of Pittsburg are
having a phenomenal passenger traffic.
James P. Anderson, general passenger
agent of the Allegheny Valley road, said
yesterday that the business on his line to
Chautauqua was never better than it has
been this summer. He is now making ar
rangements to take the Tariff Club to Buffalo
August 81, for the national meeting of Re-
publican clubs. The Valley and the Lake
Erie have agreed on a rate of S4.75 for the
round trip. The hustlers want a daylight
ride and will leave here in the morning.
E. c. Dunnavant, City Passenger Agent
of the Lake Erie, says his line is selling at
least 20 tickets daily to Muskoka and
Grevenhurst in Canada He saw Captain
Cockburn, the owner of the Lake Nipissing
line of boats, several days ago. He is
greatly in love with Pittsburgers and their
pocketbooks. He says they are liberal
spenders and he would rather handle peo-
pie from this city than any other. This
morning about 1000 Knights of Pythias
from CHARTERS will go over the Lake Erie
road to Lakeside Park, near Stoneboro.
This point is getting to be great resort for
secret orders. Rev. A. C. Smith and
party of II went to Snow Island q few days
ago.

AFRAID OF WISCONSIN,.
Ex-senator Spooner l. Not Sure That Hit
State Will Go Republican.

Ex-senator Spooner Il Not Sure That His
State Will Go Republican.
Ex-senator Spooner, of Wisconsin, was on
the limited last evening returning home
from the seashore. He was one of the Har-
rison leaders at Minneapolis, and did much
toward renominating the President. He Is
confident of Republican success, but is not
sure of his own State.
Wisconsin," he said, "may be q little
doubtful. You know how we were knocked
topsy-turvy in 1890 by the school issue.
The law was offensive and has been re-
pealed, but it still sticks in the people. 1
opposed the school measure and can never
defend it. 1t was great mistake, and now
Illinois is wrestling with the same
problem. 1 do not take my defeat
for the Senate as at all personal. 1t was
necessary to elect Legislature that would
repeal the school law and the people did it.
l am not posted on the situation in Michi-
gan, but the gerrymander is q bad thing for
us. There is no danger Of Nebraska or
Kansas going Democratic The defeat of
Ingalls, ought to make Kansas Republican.
The people must be weary to see man like
PETER representing them in the Senate. The
contrast with Ingalls, is so great that the
election of PETER now looks ridiculous"
Mr.. Spooner says he has too much re-
spect for Tom Platt's Republicanism to
think that he needs to be placated by the
President on personal grounds. He says
Platt is in line. He remarked that the
party will live longer than men or admins
trations. If affairs don't suit Republican
now he can wait his opportunity tor the
wind to blow his way.

OIL DRILLING IN BURMAH,

An Operator Says England Il Slowly Cob.
bling the Country.
L. G. Hixon, an oil dr1ller, registered at
the Central Hotel yesterday. He spent q
year in Burmah drilling for oil in that
country, but the climate did not agree with
him and he returned home. He is here to
get three men to 60 there next week for a
New York corporation. Mr.. Hixon says
Europeans like the climate and thrive
under it. A very heavy oil that is used for
lubr icating purposes and making wax is
found. The Russian oil is of such poor
quality that the Burmah article finds ready
sale in the East
The natives are quite ignorant and afraid
of the whites. Several times Mr.. Hixon's
party was attacked, but no harm was done.
The natives make fairly good workmen.
They were paid about S. per month in
American money, and managed to save half
of it. Mr.. Hixon thinks it is only ques-
tion of time until England will own the
whole Of Burmah. and the Indian lines to
the boundary of China. Ths natives occa-
sionalIy encroach on English soil This is
made prete1t for pushing them back, and
gobbling slice of Burmese territory in re-
turn. In this way England has appropri-
ated great deal of ground.
