A RUSH FOR A NOVEL
The Police Have to Disperse Crowd Eager
for Bargains.

The Police Have to Disperse Crowd Eager
for Bargains.
There was nearly riot in Kaufmanns'
store yesterday as a result of an advertise
ment which appeared in yesterday morn
ing's DISPATCH offering Hawthorne's
"Scarlet Letter" in fine binding at 2 cents
per copv. All day long did people crowd
into the mammoth emporium anxious to
take advantage of the bargain. The crowd
was composed of the best people in the two
cities, the extraordinarily low price Of the
book having wonderful drawing effect.
People pushed and tried to climb over one
another in their wild desire to gain q Want
age position. About 2 o'clock the
crush throughout the first floor
of the store became so great
that business had to be suspended. 1t was
then that the firm was compelled to close
the sale after having disposed of over 1000
books, having over 1000 remaining. Even
then the crowd would not scatter, but con-
tinued their pushing toward the counter
where the books were being Sold After
breaking several articles about the store,
two officers were sent from City Hall, who
soon scattered the crowd so that business
could be resumed.

MAYOR KENNEDY DON'T CARE.
Politics Won't Influence His Action on til
CI,iaFS, Tar,,, Ordinaoce

Politics Won't Influence His Action on the
Chiefs Term Ordinance.
The attitude Mayor Kennedy will assume
on the ordinance lengthenIng the terms of
the city department chiefs has caused con-
siderable speculation in Allegheny as to the
effect it will have on the Mayoralty nomi-
nation. Some claim he will veto it to
avoid offending and losing the support of
the Reform Association to which he owes
his present incumbency. Others assert he
will sign it to hold the friendship and po-
litical assistance the chiefs and their friends
have it IN their power to give. Each side
maintains that if he does the other thing he
will surely be defeated for the nomination.
Speaking OF this talk last night he said:
There may be something in the claims
of both sides, as far as it affects my re-
nomination. But whatever NAV be the re-
suit, will do that which 1 think is right.
1 don't care enough for political Office to do
otherwise. No consideration of how many
votes my action may influence will enter
into my decision. The rest 1 will leave to
the people to decide 1 am making no
claims as to my contest. My friends are
doing the work for me-"
Major Rush Tyler continues to claim that
he will win the nomination, hands down.
He says his strength is increasing daily and
nothing can now defeat him. As to his
strength in the election after the nomina-
tion, be says he will win easily, as half the
Democrats in the city will vote for him.

4 CHURCHMAN IN JAIL.

He Comes to Pittsburg Tour of Inspec.
tion and Gets the Worst ofIt
John NJ. Henderson, who claims to be a
Sunday school superintendent from Somer-
set county, is in Jail as ''vag." He and a
friend came to Pittsburg Wednesday, as he
saws, to investigate the social evil problem.
Henderson bought beer at some of the
houses and about midnight was found in the
streets very drunk. He was taken to the
DoI1ce station and there he discovered that
he had been robbed of SIS OF his own and a
similar amount he had in trust for the Sum-
day school. At the hearing yesterday
morning he did not have 81 and costs, SO
was sent to Jail. He hopes to get out in

The Police Are, After This Class.

With the Cold Weather He Seeks the City
The Police Are After This Class.
Superintendent of Police O'Mara was seen
yesterday in regard to the reported fire.
quency of foot-pads in the East End. The
Superintendent stated that he had ipvesti-
gated two instances mentioned in yester-
davis DISPATCH and also had men out
looking alter other cases. The general state
of the city until quite recently had been
excellent and free from any robberies or
disturbances; but with the cold weather
tramps come into the city from the country.
1t is these who, at first, until the police are
able to spot them, give trouble in the rural
wards. The fine weather being more pro-
longed this year than usual, this class OF
customers delayed their advent until now.
Said the Superintendent: "The depart
ment wishes to be notified promptly OF any
robbery or breach of the peace, and it will
use all its efforts Immediately to secure the
perpetrators Some allowance, however,
must be made for special times and special
causes. Parts of the East End are poorly
lighted, and the rascally tramp, until the
policeman collars him, thinks he has q
chance to get off undetected. Again, about
the Christmas season, there are great
many shoppers with their pocket-books
we'll filled and this invites pick-pockets,
while the rush in the stores also encourages
shop-lifting. We have, however, provided
for this emergency as far as possible" :" said
the Superintendent, ''and you will find
also that we will catch up with criminals in
the East End very quickly. No amount of
vigilance can anticipate these rascals
always, but they are sure of detection when
they persist in offenses of that sort" The
Superintendent telt satisfied that there
would not be a recurrence of the incidents
in the East End and that the offenders
stand good chance Of being soon caught

REACHING THE END OF A LONG SEARCH

James Casino, cook on the river be-
tween Pittsburg and New Orleans, reported
at police headquarters yesterday afternoon
that on his way up the river last week he
met at Helena, Ark, Henry Ward, q fugi-
tive from Justice. Ward is wanted at
Niagara Falls, where last June he and John
Henry brutality murdered Frank Weaver.
The killing is said to have been dastsrdly
one. All the parties to the crime are
colored
Weaver was a rather conspicuous figure.
His father is wealthy. When his son was
kllIed he offered liberal reward for the
arrest of the murderers. The police au-
thorities of the whole country were noti-
fed and every possible effort was made to
overtake the criminals. a Niagara Falls
officer came to Pittsburg and remained sew
eral days looking for the men.
Lost the Trail in Virginia.
He discovered that the murderers had
.ome direct to this city aad from here he
raced them into Virginia. John Henry
vas finally overtaken and was arrested near
Roanoke. After being arrested Henry re-
fused to give any information about Ward.
He said they had separated in Pittsburg.
The officer returned to Pittsburg, but was
unable to find any trace of Ward Henry
was taken back to the Falls and when
placed on trial he pleaded guilty to the
killing of Weaver. He also told of Wards
part in the murder.
Weaver, Henry, Ward and others had
been gambling Weaver it is said, had
won all the money, and late in the night
the party separated. Weaver started for
his home. He was, it is alleged, followed
by Henry and Ward. He was assaulted in
the dark and made desperate resistance.
Desperate Fight in the Dark.
All three of the men used razors, and
while the murderers were slas1ed and cut
several times the victim was literally cut
to pieces. His face was cut beyond recog-
milton, and fully dozen fatal wounds were
found upon his body. His pockets were
Iifed, and all the money he had won and
whatever money he had before the game
was taken from him.
Weaver's dead body was found the next
morning. The investigation of the police
developed the story OF the gambling. Fur
ther inquiry showed that Ward and Henry
had disappeared during the night Officers
have never rested in their efforts to appre-
hend the murderers, and it is said the en-
tire country has been hunted for them.
Casino was positive that he had seen
Ward. He said he knew him well and had
-Glked with him. The story was sent to the
Niagara Falls police, and it is expected
that Ward will be arrested az Helena,
where he is said to be working, to-day.

BAD EFFECT OF HIGH TAXES
.lonel Herron Testifies It win BE to Drive

Colonel Heron Testifies 1t Will Be to Drive
East End Residents to the Suburbs.
Before the Triennial Assessment Com
missioner yesterday the appeal of NJ. A.
Woodward, Fifth and Aiken avenues, was
up on classification, and that of his wife on
property at Fifth avenue and Pride street
on valuation. Colonel Heron was the only
witness. He valued 100 foot depths on
Fifth avenue, Shadyside, at $3.50 per foot
front. On the downtown property he
thought $500 a foot front too high. Be-
tween Smithfeld and Market streets he
thought Fifth avenue property worth from
$3, 500 to S.. 900 foot. Regarding the East
End property, he thought all in that vicin-
ity of rural character. and said heavy taxes
would drive the people out into the subur-
ban districts The assessors allowed re-
duction to $3.50 foot on Mrs. Woodward's
property, but the classification of the other
stands
j. Kaufman & Bros. appealed from the
assessment on their Fifth avenue property,
assessed at s., $50 per foot. Their figure is
$500. Sarah L. Hitchcock, Frank R. Lig-
gett and Thomas Liggett appealed to have
their property classed as rural instead of
full.

M'KEAN SURPRISED.


The Immense Number of Foreign Money

Postmaster Mexican stated yesterday
that he had feared that the recent strikes,
In which many foreigners were interested,

agreeably surprised in finding it increased.
Last Monday was the biggest day OF the sea-
son, when 1876 foreign money orders were TAX
en- out, aggregating 81, ,925 SO. Less domestic
orders were taken out, there being 17O,
amounting to s, ,928 5S. Last week 8

POLITICAL GUESSWORK.

Both Parties in a sad Mix About Candi-
dates-Ci-culars Sent Out by Republi-
cans for UninstrUcted Delegates-Mayor
Gourley's Nomination for Controller
BO.hering the Democrats.
The chief topic of conversation among
the politicians yesterday was the absolute
declaration of Controller Morrow against a
denomination and the circumstances under
which it was made. The effect of it is gen.
orally deplored among Republicans They
realize that it will have weakening effect
on the partv ticket, and that in addition to
the trouble over the selection of q
Mayoralty candidate a successor to Mr.
Morrow must be secured.
An unprecedented move on the part of
the Republicans iSthe announcement that
they will open headquarters before the
primaries this year. Next week is the time
set and the office will be on Third avenue,
in the Magee building. Circulars were
printed and mailed to the ward leaders yes
terday announcing this fact and calling on
them to set up the best men available TO go
into the convention as uninStructed dele
gates, with the idea that the nominees will
be first named at that meeting. Delegates
thus set up will have to take their chances
against those set up by aspiring candidates
at the primaries, but it is expected no can
didate yet in the field Will have anything
like enough votes to nominate on the tlrst
ballot.
The probability of Mayor Gourley being
nominated on the Democratic ticket seems
to be growing less although there are many
in The party who want him. Several OF the
party leaders have come out against him
entirely. Yesterday, County Chairman
Bremen declared that he was in favor of
placing Mr.. Gourley on the ticket provided
he would pledge himself not to allow the
use of his name by the Industrial Alliance
or the proposed citizens movement. Those
who know the Mayor best say he won't
make such pledge. He is non-committaL
He had long interview with John b.
Larkin yesterday at the latter's Office. Mr..
Larkin declared the conference was on bus
iness matters not connected with politics.
The argument against having the Mayor on
the Democratic ticket and at the same time
on other tickets is that his value would be
lost to the party, his admirers being as
likely to vote the other ticket bearing his
name as that of the Democrats
Another argument is that he would not
support the whole Democratic ticket on the
stump. 1t is considered certain that If
nominated the Mayor will stump the entire
city for the ticket on which his name ap-
pears, but the Democrats argue that he will
devote his energies to roasting their candl-
dates as we'll as those on the Republican
ticket The awkwardness of such situa-
tion has caused many Democrats who are
favorable to the Mayor to oppose his nomi-
nation on their ticket.

DIsTILLERs SAVE MONEY,

Allowed to Reduce Spirits Without Pay
ing the Wholesale Dealers Tax.
Acting Commissioner of Internal Reve-
nue. Mitchell has resolved a letter from
Commissioner Mason amending law at
the suggestion of distillers of the Pitts
burg district.
Distillers formerly were allowed to re-
duce the strength of their goods back to
what it was originally bonded at. Retail
dealers who did not understand the Law had
suspicious when they saw the distiller's
original stamp and also his stamp as a
wholesale liquor dealer that the liquor had
been tampered with. Under the new rul-
ing the special tax is not required, and they
are allowed to reduce their spirits as dis
tillers, which only places the distlller's
original stamp on the goods.

WILL BE A BATTLE ROYAL.

A Big Contest Probable Over the Bridge
Across the Monongahela at Braddock.
A special from Braddock says: ''The
Monongahela Navigation Company will
fight the proposed bridge across the Monon-
gahela river, between Braddock and Home
stead. on the ground that at the point desig-
mated for the bridge there is strong cross
current in the stream, and that such a
bridge at that particular point would inl-
pede navigation. There will be two great
powers opposing each other in this case
the Carnegie Steel Company allied with the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company as its pro-
moters, with the Monongahe!a Navigation
Company in opposition. The interests are
so large, and the opposing forces are SO we'll
equipped to fight such a case. that the con-
test will certainly be a notable one"
