FOLLOWERS GRANTED.

Ten License Applicants Relieved From
Their suspense-six More Saloons in
,Plttsburg This Year Than Last-An the
Lucky Ones Paying tho Fee.
The city of Pittsburg was finally disposed
of yesterday in the matter of retail liquor
licenses, the ten remaining held-over cases
being decided favoably to the applicants.
Among them were five hotels The follow
ing is the list: =.
B. G. Wilson, Seventh Avenne Hotel.
j. B. schlosser, Hotel Schlosser.
A. S. Scribner, American House.
A. L. Murphy, Hotel Albion.
Tom DELANEY, Hotel Delaney.
D. C. Neary, 227 and 90 Fifth avenue.
George Wefthaus. ~ Eleventh street.
". I. Currier, HOS and Il05 Penn avenue.
Mrs. Mary Donley, Carson street.
Henry Meyer, 47s9 Liberty street.
This list disposes of all the held-over cases
and makes the total number granted in
Pittsburg 1885, or six more than were granted
last year: Yet on the appropriation the
city will be S3S, 800 short.
Yesterday was the last day upon which
those who had been granted on April
could take out their licenses. At 3 o'clock
from 403 Brownsville avenue walked into
the Clerk of Courts Office, handed Mr..
McGunnigle receipt from the Treasurer's
Office, showing that he had paid his 81 900,
and carried away his license. Those who
were granted yesterday have IL days in
which to take out their certificates.
There was some disappointment when the
Allegheny list was not handed down yester-
day. Court adjourned until Wednesday.
There will be no announcements until then
and probably not until even later.

EASTER EVE IN TOWN.
A Mass of Struggling, Jamming
Humanity Filled the Streets.
SCENES ON THE THOROUGHFARES.
Many Purchased Flowers for Home and
Church Decorations
PRETTY WEATHER ORDERED FOR TO-DAY

Easter Eve was busy and pretty one on
the streets of Pittsburg. So it was all day
yesterday. From noon until midnight
there was continual flow of people along
the principal thoroughfares. Several times
during the day 1t was a struggle to get from
Smith6eid to Market on Fifth avenue.
Easter time always brings out the spring
dresses, and yesterday was not an exception.
Light and pretty colors were the order Of
the day. The pretty school girls, who are
penned up all week, were out in force yes
terday afternoon. Many heads were. turned
to look after these blossoming beauties as
they promenaded up and down the ave-
nue. They did but little shop
ping, but there were hundreds of
others to take their places. The stores of
Pittsburg were jsmmed all afternoon, and
every woman on the street was loaded down
with purchases The East End cars, late in
the evening, to stranger, would have been
taken for carriers of freight.
The streets yesterday afternoon were
filled, but last night they were jsmmed
with people. In one way it was as good as
European trip, for In some foreign cities
people walk in the street owing to the Gus
tom, last night it was a necessity in
Pittsburg. If one did not take the
roadway at Smithfeld and Fifth
avenue, it was necessary to swim to get
down to Market street. While there did
not seem to be an inch of space left on the
sidewalks, it was singular to see how the
crowd could compact when a child would
fall. This act of compacting was often at
tended with danger. especially when one
trespassed on portable corn fields.
Half the people on the streets last nioht
were carrying or wearing flowers From
every flower store there was constant
stream of persons going in and coming out.
Each one was ladened with some
trophy from the lighthouse. This
floral parade was sight novel
and beautiful. Florists wagons were going
in every direction. 1t is safe to say there
will not be a church in either of the two
cities to-day which will not be scented and
beautifed by floral decorations.
To-day will be beautiful one if the
weather regulators follow out their prom
ises. They have promised a warm, SUM-
shiny day from start to finish.

WANTS TO MARRY HIS WIFE.

A Marriage Licsnse Applicant in Lots OF
Trouble-He Gets a Divorce and Wants
to We'd His First Love, Whom He
Already Married.
There was troubled applicant for mar
riage license beforeCaptainH Hieber yesterday
He was q tai, rather handsome gentleman Of
about 30 years Of age. During the course of
routine questioning Captain Hieber brought
out the fact that the man had only secured
a divorce from one wife on last Wednesday,
and informed him he would be required TO
present certified copy of the decree.
,"Oh, my! I cannot do that" said the ap-
plicant 'T have arranged to be married
tonight and have no time to get certified
copy. l have copy at home, however, if
that will do. can bring it,"
The genial, gray-haired clerk behind the
desk said he would be willing to strain a
point in order that there might be no disap-
pointment to the couple, and told the gen.
tleman to get the papers he bad. The lat
ter left, and In the course of half an hour
returned with the document. This Captain
Hieber took to the Prothonotary's Office and
compared with the records to satisfy Eim-
self that everything was all right before
granting the license. This done he began
filling up an application for the gentleman.
Here was trouble again that blocked pro-
ceedings entirely, and the gentleman must
appear before Register Connor tomorrow
and make an explanation before he can get
his license. 1t was developed that he had
been married before to the woman for whom
he applied for a license to marry last night,
but he said that at the time the ceremony
was performed he had not been divorced
from his first wife, and therefore the mar
riage was illegal. Now that he was free, he
wanted to marry his present wife over
again. Captain Hieber was not satisfied
with the case and refused the license.

AMPurAT1oN MAY BE AVOIDED.

Ludwig Iesel Is Better and Kind-Hearted
People Arc Coming to His Rescue.
The condition Of Ludwig Iesel, the Ger
man boy whose pitiful story was e1clu-
sively related in yesterdays DISPATCH,
was somewhat improved last night. Jail
Physician Chessrown thinks he may be able
to avoid amputation of the boys toes,
though he is not certain. The publication
of his story has interested number of
philanthropic people in his behalf, and an
effort is being made to have him released on
bail and the charges against him with
drawn.
The boys sister called to see him at the
Jail yesterday. She is a handsome young
woman, and although she can scarcely speak
English, shows unmistakable signs Of the
refinement acquired during her prosperous
days. . She was deeply grieved to learn the
true condition of her brother, and started
away to secure bail for his release, but evil
IDENTIFY failed. as the boy is still in Jail.
Warden McAleese says he is better there
than outside until he RECEIVERS from the ef-
fects OF his exposure.

The Last OF the Linn Family Thought to Be
Dying.
Last September Jacob Linn, with several
of his fellow workmen,. was burned by the
capsizing of vessel of molten metal in the
converting mill of the Homestead Steel
Works. Linn died shortly afterward.
Five weeks prior to his death he buried his
wife and one of his children.
On last Washington's Birthday Willie,
his eldest boy, was run over at Hays coal
tlpple and had both his legs cut of, from
the effects OF which he died.a few days
afterward. On Friday morning last at II 80,
in the Odd Fellows Hall at Laurel station,
Pearl, the 5-year-old daughter, died Of
diphtheria. The remains were brought to
Homestead and buried from the residence
of David McGee, the grandfather
Hazel, a brother of the deceased, and the
only remaining member Of the family, is IN
the Home, and is also down with the same
disease. He is not expected to recover.

such proceedings before. He cussed little
in his mild United Presbyterian way. and
then sat down and drew up afidavits show
ing that he and Major Denniston were the
regularly elected holders of their respective
offices and authorized by law 30 receive and
handle the money of the city and her sink
ing funds and their earnings. Then
the Mayor wrote out certificate
to the same effect, which he
signed and testified to, and had similarly
signed and attested by Clerk Ostermaier
Then the Controller wrote a short note ex-
planning what the afidavits were for, and in
effect stating that improvement loan sink
ing fund was not an Individual, and could
not indorse his own paper, and that there
fore it must be done by his guardians, the
Controller and Treasurer of the city. To
each of these documents big gold seal of
the city was attached, and, with copy of
the city and State laws governing the city
officers in the handling of funds, the bulky
package was again started back to the As
sistant Treasurer.
1t may require several months of corre-
spondence and red tape jugglery before the
city gets her money, and the expense of
much patience and postage, but if the local
officials are careful it is considered safe to
say the city will get her money in the end.

THE c1TY's HEALTH IMPROVING

A Constant Decrease in tho Death Ratio for
the Past Month.
The health of the city this year has been
better than for years, and each week shows
a constant decrease in the death rate. Not
withstanding the variable weather the
health of the city is improving.
Chief Clerk McKelvy, of the
Bureau of Health, attributes it
largely to the fact that increased pre-
cautions are being taken and also to the
fact that grip was kept down last winter.
There were only six or seven deaths from it
during the entire winter. Nearly all the
deaths of this month have so far been from
lung diseases, which have been hastened by
the bad weather.
For the week ending yesterday the num-
Der will not be more than 95 The week
before there were only SO deaths, against
pa for the corresponding week Of last
year. Of those SO deaths only 40 were
chargeable to lung troubles, and "a were
under year of age. During the week pre-
vious to that there were 110 deaths, which
is 123 less than the same week of the year
before.

Two Angry Brothers at Mcdonald Fight
With Revolvers.
John and Jim Harris, brothers, engaged
in vicious quarrel at Med yesterday
and had it not been for the timely inter-
ference of James Samuels, the Pittsburg oil
man, one or probably both the combatants
would have been killed. The brothers have
been unfriendly for long time. They met
during the afternoon. Both had been
drinking. When they came together they
Immediately locked IN a rough-and-tumble
fight, and over and over each other they
tumbled in the desperate contest Finally
both jumped to their feet and instantly
whipped out revolvers and both were in
the act of taking aim when Samuels, who
had been attracted by the scufae, grabbed
both revolvers, one in either hand. The
brothers glared at each other for a moment
Then both released their guns, turned on
their heels and walked away, leaving
Samuels standing with the deadly weapons
in his hands
Samuels brought the guns to Pittsburg
last night. He says he will keep them as
relics

WANTS TO BE RECOGNIZED.

The Parks Committee Kicks on Being
Ignored-Chief Bigelow Called to Ac-
count-He Promises to Consult the
Committee Organized.
The heretofore Ornamental Committee on
Parks organized yesterday afternoon elected
G. W. Wilson Chairman and resolved to be
strictly ornamental no longer They even
went so far as to send for Chief Bigelow and
inform him of their determination, and the
Chief smilingly and politely acquiesced.
The Park Committee was appointed two
years ago, but did not organize and never
even elected chairman. One day the COM
mittee thought it had some business to at
tend to, and a meeting was called There
was good attendance, but no business. 1t
had been attended to by others. and the
committee never repeated the offense until
Yesterday. Before the meeting several
members got together and discussed
shsr s,s gbsyan0es 6Ssu s,bsS Tay felt hs that ssy
that much of the business relat-
ing to parks had either been referred
to other committees, or had been transacted
without recognition of any committee. This,
they all agreed, was not right There was
much business in connection with the parks
that should receive their legislative con-
sideration they decided, and it was high
time they were recognized.
All this had been discussed before the
meeting, and when Mr.. Brown moved that
Chief Bigelow be notified that the commit
tee had organized and was ready to take
care of any business connected with the
parks, all understood what was meant The
Chief responded to the notice in person,
and seemed to grasp the situation at
glance. He promised that hereafter the
committee would be recognized in every
way consistent with the rules of Councils,
and as an evidence of good faith invited the
members to visit the parks in body at his
expense for carriages.
The Public Safety Committee also organ
lied yesterday. John NJ. Lambie was unan-
imously reelected Chairman, and the meet
ing adjourned without disturbance.

George Shafer is Young German who has

eral days Mr.. Darner has been sick, leaving

morning Shafer went to the Office and began
to dictate to Mrs Darner and otherwise at
tempted to run the establishment To this
she objected, whereupon he struck her a
powerful blow under the jaw, inficting an
awful bruise, and frightening the woman
very badly. She swore out an information
for the arrest of Shafer. When the consta-
BILE went to arrest him Shafer strenuously
objected, but after a tussle he was taken to

The,Price OF Cut Flowers Advances About
200 Per Cent
The lovers of the beautiful in nature who
delayed buying their Easter flowers until
yesterday had to pay literally for their
procrastination. This season has been pro-
life of flowers, but roses that week ago
were somewhat of a drug in the market at
30 cents per dozen were selling yesterday
and last night like hot cakes for So per
dozen. All other buds increased in price
accordingly.
."Yes, prices have here been marked up
about 200 per cent" Benjamin F. Elliott,
the Fifth avenue florist said yesterday. 'It
is the extraordinary demand that has in
creased the price. The prices this year,
however, are not higher than at the same
season in other years. We are cultivating
more flowers in Pittsburg now than in
former years and the more flowers that are
cultivate the greater seems the demand for
them. Of course this is our season, and we
must take advantage of it.

MAY BOYCOTT BASEBALL

The Striking Printers Talk of Buying the
Best & Co. Plant.
Organized labor has found something new
to bovcott. This time it will be the Pitts
burg Baseball Club if they do not do certain
things So far the club has had all its
printing done in non-union of
fees. The printers and pressmen
will wait on the management as soon as they
return to Pittsburg and ask them to have
their printing done in union Offices. If this
is not done all the laboring people of Pitts
burg and Allegheny will be asked to stay
away from the game. The printers think
such a boycott will be great injury to the
club.
The printers and pressmen of Pittsburg
are figuring on buying the job Office of Best
& Co., when it is sold. If this is done it
will be enlarged and operated by the typo
graphical union.
The international union yesterday notified
the Pittsburg officials that it would
secure employment and furnish trans
portation to any striking printer
or pressman. This is hardly necessary, as
nearly all of the men have positions now,
and il the strike was to be settled at pres
ent there would not be enough men to fill
the Offices.
Six pressmen were sent out of the city
from non-union offices yesterday. This
makes IA in the last ten days.

Jimmy Doyle, the nine-year-old terror of
Troy Hill, was taken from Allegheny Gen.
tral station Yesterday to his home on the
Troy Hill road to attempt to make him dis
close where he had hidden a considerable
sum of money which he had stolen from his
mother some time ago. The boy robber,
however, refused to give up. This is the
sweet-faced cherub who was locked up on
March 81 tor trying to cut his grandmother's
throat with bone and also for threatening
to dissect her alive with butcher knife.
Sergeant Stewart Hamilton, at Central
station, said the boy was the toughest
youngster that was ever locked up there.
He appears perfectly at hone in his cell.
and seems to think he is boss of the place.
He orders the prison officers about as if the
place was made for his personal amusement.
He is likely to 60 to Morganza.
