USED AN OIL CAN.

Ella Morrow Burned to Death While Try
ing to Light the Kitchen Fire.
Ella Morrow, the 13-year-old daughter OF
Stewart Morrow, painter, who resides at
81 Ann street, Allegheny, was burned to
death yesterday afternoon at her home.
Her mother was severely burned, but will
recover. Shortly after 4 o'clock the girl
went to the kitchen to start q fire to prepare
supper. In the stove was considerable
wood, and from all Indications there were
no sparks. To facilitate the matter she
secured can containing two gallons of oil
and returned to the stove, when she began
to pour the oil on. An explosion immedi-
ately occurred, as there were underer the
wood a few live Goals and the
fire communicated to the can.
The oil, thrown over her, soon ignited,
and her dress caught fire.
The child screamed and ran to the street
in front of her home. Her mother who was
in the yard followed her, and tried to
smother the fire. This seemed futile and in
few moments all Of the clothing was
burned from the child's body, and even her
shoes were almost burned off. She was
taken to the Allegheny General Hospital
where, despite every attention, she died
shortly after. Her mother was taken to the
same hospital. Her face and arms were
severely burned. The Coroner was notified.

NEW JERSEY FOR GROVER

But the Delegation VIII Vote for German
on the Second BalIot-Not Confident OF
Cleveland's sucoess-Considerable Talk
of Dark Horses
The New Jersey delegation to Chicago
travels in style. The Jerseyites were on
the limited last evening, and there was the
constant rattle of chips and the clink of
seltzer glasses in the smoking car
A Jerseyman never drinks anything
stronger than water, even if the
State is noted for its apple
jack. In the party were Senators johnson
Cornish, W. j. Thompson, George 81.
Barker and 7. j. Prickett. all delegates, J.
M. Pitcock, Millard f. Ross, Judge H. V.
Paul, of Camden; Senator Maloney ard
Joseph Yeates Senator Barrett, Michi-
gan delegate, United States Senator Ran.
som, of North Carolina, and Delegate
Richardson, of Mississippi, were also on
the train. Governor Albeit will pass
through the city some time to-day. The
Tammany Hall braves and the Kings county
shouters for Hill reached Pittsburg about 8
o'clock this morning. They numbered
about T. 200, and occupied IL sections
The New Jersey fellows will vote for
Cleveland, but if he is not nominated on the
first ballot they will break for German.
Some of them thought that Cleveland ocou-
pies the same position that Blaine did at
Minneapolis, aud they expect him to be de-
feated. The Jersey men declared they
would never support Hill. Thew accuse
him of knitting Cleveland in New York in
1888. The general opinion was that if an
Eastern man is nominated that the Vice
Presidency will go TO Gray or Boies Should
Boies by chance anchor in first place, then
Russell, of Massachusetts,, would be his
running mate.
Senator Ransom, of North Carolina, and
Richardson, of Mississippi, were outspoken
against Cleveland, and will vote for Hill
The Senator said he admired Hills democ-
racy, and Richardson believes Grover can't
carry New York. The Democratic party Is
badly cut up in North Carolina by the |
Farmers Alliance. The Senator is not |
alarmed like some Democrats, and he has no |
fears that the solid South will be broken up |
this year. There are some sanguine Repub- |
hcans who think the Democrats will lose |
the Carolinas, Georgia and Alabama next |
November. Senator Barrett, of Michigan, |
is Cleveland man, and feels sure Grover |
will be nominated on the first ballot
W. J. Brennan started for Chicago also |
on the limited. He couldn't overcome his |
penchant to be mysterious and he said he |
didn't known who he would vote for. Un-
der the unit rule, the Pennsylvania delega-
tion will cast its ballot as Harrity die

WHEELS AND LAMPS.
A Gorgeous Night Parade of Bicycle
Riders in the East End.
UNIQUE AND TAKING SPECTACLE
Long Lines Of Men and Women on Wheels
Cheered BY the Populace.
THE WORK OF THE PITTsBURG CTCLERS

With their way lighted by the glare of
countless rockets and roman candles more
than a thousand bicyclists mounted on
wheels of all sorts and conditions glided
through the quiet streets of the aristocratic
East End last night amid the cheers of .
moist, but delighted populace.
The managers of the affair claimed that it
was the largest and most successful noe
turnal parade of cyclists that the town had
ever witnessed, and it is but fair to state the
managerial gentlemen did not e1aggerate.
Pittsburg has never before been treated to
such a gorgeous spectacle. It was a
veritable torchlight procession on wheels,
and even the most cynical spectator, &C.
knowledged that it was worth days journey
to see. In front of every wheel cleaned
a red lamp while from each cross bar hung
multi-colored lanterns; the slender wheels
were decked with gay flags and bunting.
As these beautifully decorated machines
made their way over the smooth asphalt, q
body guard of men and boys burned colored

.proval OF Contracts-special Council
Meeting Probable-Cisy Onacials Again
Invited to Visit tho Neeld Farm.
It is more than probable that a special
meeting of Councils will be held next
week. The next regular meeting is the last
one prior to the summer vacation, but Chief
Bigelow has a large number of contracts
and ordinances upon which Councils must
take final action to enable him to proceed
with the summer improvements, and it
will require two sessions to pass them
through both branches Then Chief Elliot
wants action taken on his ordinance for the
purchase of the Neeld farm, and Chief
Brown wants a start made with his under
ground wire ordinance. All these points
session of the city Legislature.
The Charities Committee will pay another
visit to the Neeld farm on Wednesday.
They have extended an invitation to the
Mayor, Controller, Councils and all citizens
interested in the subject to accompany
them in an inspection of the place. The
party will go down on a train leaving
Union station at 9:35 Wednesday morning.
A meeting of the Finance Committee is
billed to take place early in the present
week, when the communication sent to
Councils by the Controller in reference to
the Mayors right to approve all city con-
tracts will come up for consideration, as
we'll as the proposed tax on street railways.
1t is generally understood that City
Attorney Moreland will present to the
committee an opinion conflicting with
that of the Controller on the contract ques-
tion and holding that the approval Of
councils is all that is required. The Con-
troller will ndk be satisfied with that, how
over, but said yesterday that unless his
point was conceded he would carry the
matter to the Supreme Court
''It is question which should be decided
definitely, clearly and at once" said he yes
terday. ''If the Finance Committee accepts
as final what understand to be the city at
torney's opinion, will take immediate
steps to test the point in court. am satis-
fed the Mayor is legally required to ap-
prove all contracts 1t has been fortunate
for the city's Improvements that all
the contracts heretofore let have
met with his approval, though not pre-
sented for it. Had he chosen to act pre-
he could have checked any con-
tract from going into effect until this ques-
tion is decided. 1 hope that an amicable
can be made for taking
couple Of contracts to court for a decision,
but if it can't be done amicably it must be
otherwise, for to court it's bound to 60"

Elevators Use Too Much and tho Dom estio
Supply Is Cut Short.
For some time past there has been a num-
Der of complaints from residents of Alpine
avenue and Carroll street. Allegheny, on
account of scarcity Of water along
those thorotghfareA Several citizens
have appealed to Chief Ehlers,
and he informed them that
if they were willing TO take the chances of
pipes bursting he would try to give them
connection from the hill main to their
streets This proposition was tavorably ac-
cepted by the citizens but it cannot be put
into force Immediately as the expense of
making the connections will be probably
$500.
Henry Lowe, of the Water Committee,
accounted for the scarcity of water on the
ground that there was too large drain on
the main supplying Alpine avenue and
Carroll street, by reason of tine number of
elevators and other machinery worked by
hydraulic pressure.
The complaints will be discussed at the
next meeting of the Allegheny Water Com
mittee, to be held some time during the
present week.

At Sharpsburg last evening Officer Wal
lace found George Setenbach lying on the
sidewalk at the corner of Sixth and Main
street, apparently drunk. There are no
patrol wagons in Sharpsburg, and, as the
man could not be aroused, the officer pro-
cured wheelbarrow and conveyed him to
the lookup. An hour later it was learned
that Setenbach's condition was the result of
his having taken an ounce of laudanum
with suicidal intent A physician was at
once set to work to counteract the effects of
the drug, but at late hour last night
stated that the patient could not recover.
Setenbach is a laborer, SO years of age,
and, i is said, was jealous of an Italian on
Eighth street. A little more than month
ago Setenbach went up to the Italians
house, broke up the furniture and raised
such commotion that he was arrested and
sent 30 days to the workhouse for disorderly
conduct 1t is believed that his attempt on
his life was caused by his wife's actions.
