LOST HIS BRIDE.

He Thinks She Has Como to Join the
Circus.
William Aren't, a Hebrew, of Colwell
street, called at police headquarters last
night to enlist the services of an officer in
finding Mrs. Aren't, who had left him in a
summary manner yesterday. Mr.. Aren't is
26 years of age and his wife is year
younger. They were married only a month
ago and had just settled down to domestic
life after honeymoon. He is porter in a
waren ouse downtown and left his home
at the usual hour yesterday morning.
He did not return until the evening, and
fully expected to find the usual evening
meal and be welcomed by his wife, but his
hopes were dispelled on entering his door.
No wife was there, and what was more, the
house was barren, stripped of all his house
hold belongings
He began an investigation, and learned
that wagon, probably of a. second
hand dealer, had been used early in
the day to cart his stuff away and that Mrs
Aren't had not been seen all afternoon.
Mr.. Aren't remembered that his wife had
once expressed desire to join circus, and
as there was one in town yesterday, he
jumped to the conclusion that she had gone
in the direction of the show. At least he
so expressed his fears to the police of both
this city and Allegheny. They tried to
allay his fears by the suggestion that she
had only gone to witness the show and
would return in time. He went home dis
consolate

WITH THE CIRCUS
Forepaugh's Great Exhibition OF Erilliancy
and Splendor Here.

Forepaugh's Great Exhibition OF Erilliancy
and Splendor Here.
Adam Forepaugh's show is here in all its
brilliancy and splendor. Twice yesterday it
held immense audience for over two hours
each time and they would have been glad to
have stayed longer.
The exhibition opened up yesterday
morning with grand street parade, more
splendid than Solomon ever dreamed of
The cavalcade was attractive, but compared
with what transEired inside the world of
canvas, it was but drop in the great
bu cket of beauty and amusement From a
point of beauty and excellence, the great
spectacular production, ''The Fall of
Nineveh" has no equal The display
is perfect and to witness it
one cannot help but feel that the
author, artist and designer has
reached degree of perfection seldom at
tainable. The music is the sweetest and
the costumes and armor the most dazzling.
The ring and the stage abound this year
wsth new and pleasing attractions. Many
prominent American and foreign artists are
appearing in Pittsburg for the first time.
Among these are the Australian rider,
John Cozzens; the Rosarier brothers,
James Irwin, George Arstingstali
and his trained elephants, Tommy
and Bobby, the funny boxers
and the Vadis sisters, the aerial queens.
The closing part of the programme is the
great hippodrome track races in nine events.
1t is interesting and pleasing. The attend

DR.. HODGES HOME.

He Is Held in Quarantine but Did Not Find
It Observation-Disclosures Manner OF
Disinfectfng-subisctso of His Coming
Lectures
Rev. DR.. Hodges, of Calvary Church,
East End, arrived home yesterday morning
from his summer vacation which he spent
in England. He was held at New York in
quarantine two days, but says the expert
ence was not in the least disagreeable.
"Coming across" DR.. Hodges continued,
''the sole topic of conversation was the
cholera We had the reports of the scourge
before we sailed, and the anxiety we expe-.
rienced about cases breaking out on board
was far from pleasant Although the Off
GERS assured us each day that everything
was all right, we could not help feeling
nervous about the matter, as we knew well
that even if the disease did appear on board
everything would be done to keep the fact
from the knowledge of the passengers.
When We were about 300 miles out from
New York a pilot boat came alongside us
and threw us a large bundle of New York
papers of the Monday before. Then we
learned of the scare on this side of the
water
'In quarantine everything was done to

points which 1 could criticise; one was the
steamship company keeping us in ignorance
of what they proposed to do with us, which
made Us very anxious; the other was the
laxity on the part of the inspectors who
were supposed to disinfect the trunks COM
ing from the continent. These officers
lifted up the lids of the trunks and sprinkled
in the corners only few drops of some
colorless liquid they had in bottles. If
quarantine is to be followed at all, it should
be done thoroughly and not in perfume
tory manner The opinion formed of DR..
Jenkins was that he was an exceedingly
energetic man, trying to do all in his power,
but lacked the executive ability to manage
matters in an affair of this kind"
DR.. Hodges will remain home for three
Sundays whom he will leave to attend the
General Convention of the Episcopal Church
in Baltimore on October 5. The subjects
for the Sunday night lectures for the qe1t
three Sundays are: "Church Life in Eng;

WILL DRINK BOILING WATER,

This Cholera Preventative Has Been
Adopted in the County Buildings.
There have been a number of agitations
over the question of the impurity of the
water supply in the two cities, but the first
official recognition of the fact was taken by
the County Commissioners yesterday.
jail Physician Chessrown addressed
the following letter to those officials yes
terday morning:
"GENTLEHEN-Recosni the necessity
for prompt and hygienic sanitary measures
every here, i would respectfully suggest
all filters or other receptacles for drinking
water in your county buildings be treated
with antiseptics and thoroughly cleaned by
boiling, then filled with boiled water every
morning tor uso."
The commissioners adopted the sugges-
tion at once and it will be applied here
after. 1t is expected this move by the
county officers will be followed in all other
public buildings, workshops, factories as
well as by the people generally.

ALLEGHENY'S MISERY.

Secretary Lee Inspects and Reports on the
Horrible Condition of the Water Sup
ply-Disease and Death in Every Drop
Danger for a Year to Come.
The cleaning up of Allegheny continues,
and the authorities seem imbued with the
spirit of prevention of cholera The chief
cause of scare now is the condition of the
water. Dr. Lee, of the State Board of
Health, declares that disease and death
lurk in every drop of lit; that the
cholera scourge and other dread Affections
are at the doors of the people; and that it is
only BY the most extreme carefulness and
utmost cleanliness that disaster in the way OF
an epidemic C can be averted Drinking
water should be boiled, he says, and put to
every possible test before being used.
Mayor Kennedy says the water is poison
Gus, and should not be tasted. The Mayor
yesterday received the foil owing letter,
which explains itself:
OFFICE STATE BOARD OF HEALTH,
PITTsBURG, Pa. Sept. II, 1892.
TO His Honor, W. N. Kennedy. Mayor of Allie
gheny:
SIR-In compliance with a request received
from your office yesterday, to-day made a
personal inspection of the water supply of
your city. As the result OF my observa-
tions am compelled to declare that it is
polluted TO an extent which makes it at all
times dangerous. Receiving as it
does the sewage OF population
OF about 1900 of Pittsburg's inhabitants
including that OF one large hospital, in addi-
tion to the entire drainage of the eastern
end OF your city and adjacent borouGhs, the
almost stagnant pool from which the water
is pumped affords an admirable breeding
place Tor diseased germs of every kind.
A single case of cholera occurring on
either shore above the influent pipe, might
and probably would be followed by conse-
Quences too horrible to contemplate. The
recently been infected by this con-
tagion in Europe will render this
country liable to an outbreak for
a year to come. In the present threatening
condition of affairs, when every day brings
US intelligence of its increase in the princi-
pal part of our country, it may make its ap-
pearance here at any moment. To delay i'm
mediate efforts to avert such a calamity by
carrying the int1uent pipe to point above
the city, which would avoid the introduction
of this great food of filth into your reservoirs
is criminal folly. 1 cannot find words
to express myself strongly enough in con-
demnat1on of such negligence Nor do al
low myself to doubt that the intelligence of
ures, whatever expense they may involve,
for averting the peril which now threatens
them, and it will, therefore, be unnecessary
for the board to issue any mandatory order
in the premises, which, however, it is pre-
pared to do, should occasion demand.
j have the honor to be, sir, yours respect
fully, BENJAMIN LEE.

THEY CONFUSED THE JUDGE.

Two Bright Lawyers Drift Into a Discus
sion on Botany In q Trial Before Masis-
trate Gripp-A Palm Leaf Causes tho
Trouble.
An amusing and interes ing hearing took
place before Alderman Gripp yesterday in
the suit of De Mortinie, an italian mer-
chant of Water street, against the st. Peter
italian congregation of Pittsburg. John
Marion appeared for the merchant, and W.
j. Bremen represented the congregation.
The claim against the congregation was
for S72. for palms supplied for Palm Sum-
day some months ago; The palms supplied
were of an expensive kind and about !, 500 in
number. But little testimony was taken.
The merchant said he had furnished the
palms. Representatives of the congrega-
tion testified that the palms were too
expensive.
Both the attorneys made earnest speeches
None of those present say the magistrate
could understand English, but the lawyers
talked just the same. Finally. they
drifted into discussion of the
palm, specimen of which had been offered
palm supplied was for making fans and was
not intended for free distribution in
churches. This amused Mr.. Marion. He
alleged that Mr.. Bremen was not well
posted on the kind of palm
supplied to church goers. Then
taking the specimen of palm in his hand,
and looking earnestly into Judge Gripp's
face, he traced the history of the palm from
the discovery OF the first discovered sprout
in Brazil to the picturesque fan of the
heather Chinee.
In response Mr.. Bremen aired consider
able knowledge of botany. He contended
that the palm was first discovered in the
jungles of Africa, and he argued that S72
worth of the article would be sufficient to
Rome.
Judge Gripp finally stopped the discus
sion by saying that he was not interested in
the discovery of the palm but the argu-
ments had so confused him that he would
reserve his decision in the case until Satur-

A QUIET DAY AT HOMESTEAD.

The Locked Out Men Hold Meeting in
the Rink-Three Men Arrested-The
Troops To Be Taken From Duquesne-
New workmen in the Mill,
The locked-out men of Homestead held
an indignation meeting in the rink on Fifth
avenue yesterday afternoon. No outsiders
were allowed to be present. After the
meeting the men would not say what had
been done, but it was understood
that a number of speeches were
made and the men urged to stand
fast in their present position. 1t was re-
ported that one of the speakers, John
Koyle, spoke of Homestead as being the
dumping ground of the earth. He is said
to have stated that first the Plnkertons
were brought there. The militia were next
sent in and then the scabs or non-union
men were engaged to work the mills. Con-
tinuing, he stated that the present filthy
condition of the mills wou Id invite disease,
and the Carnegie Steel Company would be
held responsible for an epidemic of cholera
or some scourge as bad Another speaker
Dr. Osborne, is said to have devoted his
remarks to the condemnation of Superin-
tendent Potter.
Three arrests were made during the day.
In the afternoon some man from Freeport,
who had been at Homestead just before the
strike, returned As soon as he was recog-
nized he was assaulted by number of men.
He made complaint 10 Colonel Gray, who
sent down Deputies Ferguson and Bowman
They arrested John Fitzsimmons and Peter

evening. William Baird was taken into
custody for aggravated riot on information
preferred by Secretary Lovejoy.

ON HIS WAY TO NEW YORK.
Whitelaw Reid Passes Through and Speaks
of the Coming Campaign

whitelaw Reid Passes Through and Speaks
of the Coming Campaign.
Whitelaw Reid passed through the city
last evening on the fast line East on his
way to New York from Cedarville, O.,
where he had been visiting his mother. He
had very little time to say anything and as
he put it himself he had "very little to say
anyway" As far as he could see he be-
lieved the situation unchanged. The
Democratic party were where they had
been before the convention. They had
made no progress whatever, while the Re-
publican party had gained much in every
direction. The benefits of the Mckinley
bill were everywhere noticeable, no matter
what might be said to the contrary, and the
best evidences of its usefulness had been
given before now to every Democratic man
ufacturer if they would only admit the
truth.
AS it was, they were fighting for free
trade altogether, but in the event of the
success of the Republican party, which was
pretty well assured, they would readily ad-
nit the benefits of such statute law upon
American trade. 'sLet us hope" said the
nominee, that Pittsburg and the State of
Pennsylvania will come up to e1pecta-
tions"

RoTTING WITH PEsTILENCE.
Hamburg the Principal Receptacle for the

Hamburg the Principal Receptacle for the
Filth and Disease of All Europe.
DR.. Charles f. Mussigbrod, of Montana,
passed through the city last evening on the
limited on his way home from Germany.
He had spent several week with his wife at
Kiel and had returned via Hamburg. When
asked what he thought of that city, he said
words, not even the most superlat:ve die
tion could attempt to describe the condition
of the people there.
Hamburg" said Mr.. Mussigbrod ''reeks
with filth and disease at the presnt time,
and to tell the truth 1 never knew the
residential hole in Germany, and for that
matter in any part of Europe. The lowest
inhabitants on the face of the globe live
amid the dregs and germs of every disease
known TO a physician, and the only thing 1
wonder at is that Ham burg and its entire
population have not been swept off the face
of Gods earth years ago.
ga carriage drive through the streets of
the city is about the only thing that could
even give you partial idea of the condi-
tIons under which the medium and lower
classes exist there 1t seemed to me as if
all the filth of the continent aggregated in
Hamburg. 1t is the only city on the other
side that know of where sanitary regula-
tions are totally neglected. immigration
from that port should be stopped alto
gether, for it is only when least expected
that the worst form of some dread disease
may be planted in New York or some
other American port"
The speaker was a passenger on the
steamer Spree, and vividly described the
panic on board during the voyage across the
ocean and the subsequent experiences in
quarantine. He said he was glad to be on

FOR THE FIRST ROUND.
Both Political Party Chairmen Are
Ready for the Fray.
THE FIGHT wILLOPEN TOMORROW,
Harry Oliver Delegated to Fetch Governor
Mckinley.
wHITELAw REID RETURNS TO NEW YORK

Tomorrow the Presidential campaign in
Allegheny county will be formally opened
by the county Democracy picnic at Silver
Lake Grove. There will be no imported
orators at the Silver Lake outing, but all
the local talent will be present, and in
addition to some few other things there will
be variety of Jacksonian speeches
The Republican leaders will make nc
effort to open their end of the campaign
until after the meeting of league clubs al
Buffalo next week. The Tariff Club will &c
to Buffalo in body. 1t was announced
yesterday that not less than 100 members Of
the organization would go to Buffalo, and on
their return they will hold the first Repub.
lican demonstration of their campaign.
No Word From Mckinley.
Governor Mckinley has not yet decided
whether he will come to Pittsburg to make
a campaign speech. He will, however, ad-
dress gathering at Washington, Pa, the
latter part of this month, and Harry Oliver
has been delegated to 60 to Ohio and, IT
possible, induce the Governor to make a
speech in Pittsburg the night following his
effort in Washington county.
"Has there not been some delay in OPEN
ing the campaign" was asked Chairman
Gripp yesterday.
mo, sir, he responded, with emphasis
''The time for opening the national con-
test as far as Allegheny county Is con-
cerned never arrives until late In Septem-
Der or early in October. I am conf
dent the people do not want the
fight to open before that time. The busi-
ness people won't stand long drawn-out
fight. 1t destroys all business and is just
as unsatisfactory to the politicians as it is to
the business people.
"We have had our headquarters opened
for two weeks. and we have been doing the
work that counts in fight. Five clerks
been devoting our energy and efforts to
looking after taxes, registration, naturali-
cation and education. We do not contem-
plate much of fight in this county, and
the campaign will not be oyer five weeks in
length"
Hopeful Chairman Bremen.
Chairman Bremen said yesterday that
he had not yet decided when the Demo-
cratic headquarters will open. He said,
however, that the County Committee had
appointed all the necessary subcommittee
and that all the preliminary work
of the contest was being carefully
watched. ''We have already held
several meetings in this county.
Two of them were surprisingly large and
enthusiastic" Mr.. Bremen said, eve
have reports of several large clubs being Or
ganized, and we are perfectly content with
the outlook"
Both Chairmen seem cheerfully confident,
and both seem anxious to have the opening
of the campaign delayed as long as pos
sible.

"A PECULIAR PRODUCE
Steel Manufactured in Sweden surpasses in
Elasticity That Made in America.


Steel Manufactured in Sweden surpasses in
Elasticity That Made In America.
James L Gulick, general manager of the
Mogul Manufacturing Company of New
York, was at the Duquesne yesterday.
During an interview with q DISPATCH re-
porter he produced a specimen of Swedish
steel possessing an extraordinary am ount Of
elasticity, 1t is the product of trade Sc
cret altogether unknown to the steel indus
try of the United States, and one that is
being sought after now by almost every
manufacturer in the country. It is used
principally in the making of springs, nota-
bly, the "Loom," which preserves its elastic
nature and perfect condition for an average
period of ~ years
The use OF steel of this character has been
largely sought after by electrical corpora-
tions, particularly in the street car lines, for
the past IL months. The fact of its ex-
istence and its peculiar nature is un.
known to great extent at present.
Mr.. Gulick has for considerable
time been looking for an American product
equal to the article manufactured in
Sweden, but so far he has failed to find it,
notwithstanding several manufacturers have
attempted to produce its equal This
steel, which is principally in wire
form, has tension power of II pounds
IN the trolly of street car, which is more
than four times that of the ordinary Amer
lean steel Made into rope six feet long,
it possesses an elasticity that permits of its
being drawn to an 18-foot length and re-
tracing to its normal length within q quar-
ter of an inch.
The use of this steel is becoming preva-
lent among the fire departments Of many
cities, and for the relief of horses in
drawing heavy loads. An ordinary spring
of such caliber enables an animal TO draw
four times the average of an ordinary load.

manager of the gigantic electrical e1posi-
tion in Montreal last year.
