POISONING CHARGED.

A Homestead Workman Dies at the Alle-
gheny General Hospital-Had Wasted
Away From $50 to Less Than 80
Pounds Coroner Investigating.
Louis Sims, Hungarian laborer from
Homestead, died at the Allegheny General
Hospital yesterday morning. The cause OF
death assigned by the attending physician
was dysentery and pneumonia. The de-
ceased was taken to the hospital by q
brother and several friends on Saturday.
They said he had been poisoned. The hos
pital report says there is no proof that he
had been poisoned. Coroner Mcdowell is
investigating the case, and will ascertain
the truth if medical skill will do it.
Sims was AZ years of age. He was taken
to the hospital on Saturday in a state of
collapse. His brother said he had been
working in Carnegie's mill until eight
weeks ago, when dysentery symptoms
which had appeared sometime previously
became SO severe that he was unable to
work. He grew worse each day until his
death. Pneumonia developed during his
illness and cause death.
The body presents remarkable appear
ance. 1t is mere skeleton covered with
skin, weighing not over 75 or 80 pounds
The Coroner says it is the most peculiar
case he has on record. Sims brother says
that before his illness he weighed $780, and
was big, robust fellow. He had never
been sick day in his life. He lived In
Munhall's hollow, was married, and had
worked in the mill before the strike.
The Coroner has ordered a post mortem
to be held this morning. DIR. Stewart, of
Homestead, who sent the case to the hospi-
tai, is ordered to be present, aud the inves-
tigation is to be most searching The
liver, stomach, and kidneys will be sub
iected to chemical analysis What
grounds the dead mans friends have for
charging his death topoIson are not known.

HEATED BY ELECTRICITY.

The CHARTERS Branch of the West End Rail-
way opened-New Method for arming
Cars-Heavy Passenger Traffic Calls for
Better Equipment-A Rapid Increase.
The long expected opening of the Char
tiers branch of the West End Railway took
place yesterday. The Temperanceville
branch was opened two weeks ago, and
since then has been driving brisk trade.
No system for heating the cars has yet
been adopted, but experiments are now
being carried on with a new system that
promises to be a success and will probably
be adopted. 1t is plan recently invented,
and all the heat will be furnished by cleo
tricity. Electricians put the motors on one
car last week, and as the experiment has
fully met the expectations of those inter
ested it is understood that all the cars NAV
be supplied with them. The system is in
use in number of cities in this country,
but it is entirely new in Pittsburg. An
electrician of the company last night, in
ontlining the plan, said: San induction
coil will be placed in each corner of the
car, which will be supplied with a current
direct from the power house. 1t has
been proven that by this means
a uniform heat can be produced
with little expenditure of power 1t is
very simple yet effective and will not only
not take up any room, but will do away
with all the objections TO the old way of
heating with stoves or steam. 1t may be
sometime before all the arrangements are
completed, but think the plan Will meet
with much favor"
Up to this time there has been some COM
plant because of the lack of cars to carry
the heavy passenger traffic. This has been
very noticeable during the evening and
morning hours, as the men going to and
coming from their work crowd the cars
There is a general demand for more cars
from the residents of the West End, as few
cars now cross the Point bridge that do not
contain number Of passengers who cannot
get seats The company has % cars on the
road, but this number is expected to be in
creased.

ROLLS OVER A PRECIPICE.

An Allegheny Man Falls on Cliff In an
Allegheny Graveyard - AHghts on q
Ledge 80 Feet Below-Only Slightly
Bruised.
George Grouzniski yesterday rolled over
one of the numerous cliffs on Troy Hill,
alighting on a ledge so feet below and as
many feet above the street. He escaped
with only few bruises
Grouzniski, the police say, mas been
drinking heavily for some time. Yesterday
he was intoxicated and in his wanderings
got into VoegtlY's graveyard He stag
gered about among the tombstones and
finally got over to the precipice on the
Ohio street side. The ground is elevated 60
feet above the street and it rises like wall,
it only being broken by a narrow ledge 80
feet above the street.
About 2 o'clock in the afternoon some
boys we're in the cemetery. At the edge of
the precipice hat and an overshoe were
found. Looking down over the edge they
saw man lying on the ledge. An officer
was told, and he, with some fremen, res
cued the man. One of the party was let
down by a rope and Grouzniski's body was
drawn up He was still unconscious and
seemed TO have suffered more from ex-
posure than from the fall.

Frederick ID. Losey, dramatic
reader and impersonator, will give
an entertainment tomorrow night
at the Y. M. G. A. rooms for the ben
eft of the G. l.. S. G. and the Y. M.
@. A. Speaking of Mr.. Losey and
his entertainment the Saratoga IN
ion says:
"The masterpiece of the evening
was the Chariot Race from Ben
Hur, which was preceded by
a graphic description of the circus at
Antioch, where the race occurred.
Into this narrative the reader seemed
to throw every nerve and actio and
for time, so vivid was his descrip-
ton, that one could almost imagine
himself present in that immense cir.
Gus, and could hear the shouts and
cries of its one hundred thousand
spectators. AT the close of this the
applause was fairly deafening, so
loud and prolonged was it. For
once, at least, it could be said that
Saratoga had an audience that ap-
preciated the efforts put forth to
please them"

WORK ON THE STREETS.
The New Administration Taking Advan-
tage of the Pretty Weather.

The new administration seems to
be taking advantage of the pretty
spell of weather to do some needed
street repairing and cleaning. E. V.
Harrison, chairman of the street
committee, has two forces at work TO-
day. One of them is employed grad
ing Washington street from Green
wood avenue to Elder street. This
is the street that has recently been
opened between the lot purchased
from j. Sterling Neblett, on Green
wood, by M. W. Elder and the DR..
Larkin property. 1t is forty feet
wide, and the intention is eventual
ly to make a good street running
through South GAINESVILLE from
Greenwood avenue to the river. The
only work, however, that has been
ordered by the board is the grading
and metaling Of the above men,
toned new street.
Announcer force Is aC work Oh Nluln
street between Franklin and College.
This street, however. will not be
built new. The bad places are only
being graded and metaled.
On Second street small force is
employed cleaning out the cutters
between Franklin and Commerce
and scraping off the street. This
work adds much to the appearance
of that thoroughfare, and makes the
pedestrian think of spring. II will
be the policy Of the street committee
to put chain gang prisoners to work
on the streets as soon as they are con-
victed and keep them there until
their fines are satisfied.
