ON SCHEDULE TINE.

The Manchester Cars Run Regularly
Ono Shot Fired at a Conductor on Lo-
Gust Street-woods Run Unusually
Quiet, and Things A Assuming Good shape.
Every car on the Manchester line ran on
schedule time yesterday. Last night, for
the first time since the strike, the Woods
Run cars did business without molestation.
The only incident, which characterized vio-
lence occurred at 1890 on Western avenue,
car MOI. Just as it was passing Locust
street going down Allegheny avenue, some
man fired a revolver at Conductor Geiger,
who was standing on the rear platform.
The bullet crashed through the center Of
the door and lodged in the front of the car:
1t was reported through the conductor, that
some little stone throwing was INDUCED in
by boys down at Woods Run, but no serious
trouble occurred.
The women and children sympathizers in
the troublous districts were not 30 loud in
their talk yesterday and last night.
The cold weather had a great effect in
keeping crowds off the streets. The saloons
were all closed after o'clock. The police
and patrolmen have orders to arrest all
loiterers and to disperse crowds, also to look
up tramps lying about gas houses and mills.
Mike Shanahan, who with crowd of
men attacked Officer Clarence Hutchinson
on Saturday night at Mcclure and Preble
avenues, was arrested last night by De-
tectives Zimmerman and Johnston. He is
locked up in the Allegheny police station,
to answer the charge of mayhem. He was
identified as being the man who was on top
of the officer, and bit the feshy portion of
the officers nose off The Troy Hill dis
trict is as quiet as a church, and
the extra detail of officers will be
called off by the Chief this morning.
At IL o'clock last night everything was re-
ported quiet from the car barn in Manches-
ter. Chief Murphy seems to think matters
will be settled without further trouble.
George App, one of the strikers, who was
charged with riot, had hearing before
Alderman Gripp. Tie case was continued
for one week, when some other men Will be
brought up to answer the same charge.
The hearing of A. j. Mitchell, charged
with riot by Manager Greenwood, will take
place at o'clock this afternoon.

Four Accidents Reported Yesterday, but
None OF n Serious Nature.
Two men were injured by being run over

SPEER-James P. Speer, the well-known

FEW CHANGES ARE ASKED.

The County Board Not Encountering Many
Difficnlties- One Assessor Taught a
Very Severe Lesson-Figures Raised 40
Per Cent in Some Places.
The County Commissioners are convinced
that their plan of revision will work con-
siderable improvement this year. 1t forces
some assessors and objectors to shed light
on other cases than their own. Some as
SCISSORS reasoning faculties seem to be
queerly constructed. A lady from town.
ship in which petroleum is found in large
quantities, objected to her assessment, or
rather to her neighbor's. She said that So
an acre was not large valuation for her
farm, that, IN fact, she would not sell
it at that price. but she
insisted that an adjoining neighbor's farm
was worth more than hers and was assessed
at but S33 an acre. The assessor was called
down by the Commissioners, and he ex-
planned that he had been guided in fixing
valuations by the agricultural value of land,
notwithstanding the precept issued to him
and others explaining that whatever added
to the market value Of land was to be cal
culated in arriving at its saleable value
This assessor explained that the land of the
woman making the complaint was un-
obstructed by oil derricks, pipes, ETC.,
and consequently more valuable, agricult-
urally, than her neighbor's on which there
were 35 oil wells and perfect network of
pipes! That assessor went away, it is sup
posed, with a new idea fumbling about his
Uranium. Here was property which had
probably been injured by oil development
assessed 40 per cent higher than adjoining
land which was yielding royal income to
its owner without necessitating any further
exertion than an occasional visit to the pipe
line office for dividends.
In Edgewood borough the assessors had
made an increase of "a per cent over the
last assessment, and the Board of Revision
added another 40 per cent to theassessors'
figures, making total increase of 124 per
cent. In Beltzhoover borough the assess
ors had made raise of 81 per cent and
the Board of Revision added 90 per cent
more, a total increase of 104 per cent. In
Brushton the assessors raised Sc per cent,
and the board raised it 40 per cent more,
total of 96 per cent. In the First ward,
Millyale, the assessors made an increase of
4 per cent, in the Second ward no increase,
and in the Third ward 80 per cent. The
board added 80 per cent to all the wards.
In all these districts, 1T is stated, the as
sessment is still under the actual value of
the property. To-day appeals will be heard
from CHARTERS, Mansfield and Oakmont
boroughs.

gentleman replied.
..Do YOU know a detective named Thomas
Flinn?' was asked Assistant Superintend-
ent of Police Roger O'Mara.
"Never heard of Thomas Finn as de-

1t is evident that Thomas Flinn's testi-
mony in regard to his occupation and resi-

The Iron Business Improving.

J. c. Culbertson, Secretary of the River
side Iron. and Tube Works at Wheeling,
was in Pittsburg yesterday. He says the
iron business is picking up and prospects
are better than they have been for a year
past. In his opinion a little war with
Chile would tend only to improve all kinds
of business, especially the iron business in
America. Mr.. Culbertson says active oper-
ations have begun on the proposed rail-
road from Wheeling to Connellsville. The
new road, he says, will be of great service
to the manufacturers of Wheeling.

An Unprovokcd Assault.

Two horses attached to one of Charles
Sproul g. Co. IS carriages ran off yesterday
at Penn avenue and Thirty-sixth street.
The driver and a companion were thrown
off DIR. Gaerther saw the affair and ran to
the mems assistance, thinking they might
be hurt. He scarcely had time to ask a
question when the driver caught him by
the throat, almost strangling him, and then
threw him to the ground. Then the men
jumped on the horses and started off at
gallop. Before the doctor could find a
policeman they had disappeared. The
name of the driver could not be learned,
but the doctor made information before
Alderman Kerr, charging him with aggra-
waited assault and battery.

TWO SITES SUGGESTED.
Chief Bigelow and James b. Scott Each
Have Plans for the Library.

Chief Bigelow and James b. Scott Each
Have Plans for the Library.
Several members of the Carnegie Library
Commission and Chief Bigelow, of the De-
partment of Public Works, went out to
Schenley Park yesterday to examine the
proposed location for the main library at
the entrance. Chief Bigelow's idea is to
have the front facing toward town and the
music hall facing Forbes street. Chairman
Scott, of the commission, prefers to adopt
the site first spoken of, except to have it
moved up to within so feet of Forbes street
instead of 800, as before. This, he claims,
would allow ample room for the proposed
edifce at the bridge
Chief Bigelow will have two charts pre-
pared, showing both plans, which will be
submitted to the commission for it to de-
eide on.
