Tho b. q O. Road Decides to Turn Ohio
Pyle Into a Picnic Ground.
The B. & o. road has decided to turn
Ohio Pyle into picnic ground. After
experimenting with hotels, the company
has come to this conclusion. Ohio Pyle is
one of the prettiest spots in the western
part of the State, and as picnic ground
will equal the best. The excursion rate of
81 for the round trip is making the place
very popular. Societies and Sunday
schools who were unable to secure dates at
Aliquippa, Rock Point and Idlewild are
applying daily to Division Passenger
Agent Smith.
On July 12 the Catholic League Clubs of
the Pittsburg Diocese will picnic at the
B. and o. resort. From 600 to 700 people
are going. One of the largest picnics of the
season will be the Knights of the Maccabees
from the Edgar Thomson steel works. This
is big organization, and Mr.. Carnegie pre-
sented the members with hall in Brad
dock. Their picnic takes place Thursday,
July IA, at Ohio Pyle. 1t is estimated the
society will have !, 500 passengers.

Allegheny Modifies Proposals for . New
Fire Engine-An Makes to Have show
New Engine House Property Recon-
mended.
Allegheny's Public Safety Committee de-
voted its attention entirely to the fire de-
partment last night Lots for new engine
houses in the Seventh and Eleventh wards
were approved and the advertisement for
proposals for new fire engine was modi-
fed so as to let in all bidders
There was but one bid from the Eleventh
ward and it was favorably recommended.
1t was from James j. Brownlee, in behalf
of the heirs of Joseph Seifert The lot is
25x14O feet, corner of Shady avenue and
Dixon street; cost s., 300. The proposal of
DR.. Nicholas Schenkel, of q 81 800 lot in
the Seventh ward was also favorably recon-
mended. This lot has frontage of 43 Ito
feet on Haslage avenue and is 96 feet deep,
running back to Rhine street.
Mr.. Stauffer made motion that the COM
mittee reconsider its action of the last meet
ing in instructing the Controller to adver-
tise for bids for one irst-class rotary fire
engine. Mr.. Stauffer advocated at the
meeting, Friday last, the purchase of
rotary (Silsby) engine, but has since be-
come convinced that the field should be
open to all makers of 6rst-class engines.
The motion to reconsider was carried and he
then offered resolution that the Chief of the
Department of Public Safety be instructed
to prepare specifications and advertise for
bids for one first-class fire engine, and the
bidder take in part payment one old, first
class Amoskeag.
This action was approved, and resolu-
tion was offered that the Chief of the De-
partment, the Superintendent of the Bureau
of Fire, and the Sub-Fire Committee visit
different cities and inspect the various fire
engines, This was lost by vote of to T.

A WHOLE FAMILY HELD,

| Four Men and Three Women Will fave
to Answer for the Murder of Frank
HeImstetter-The Defendants Deny All
Connection With the Affair.
Joseph Zappe, Angelo Zappe, Joseph
Mulinaro, William Reardon, Hannah Rear
don, Mrs. Joseph zappe and Mrs. Joseph
Mulinaro are in Jail, charged with the mur-
der of Frank Helmstetter, who was stabbed
Monday evening at his home, at Matilda
and Yew streets.
Coroner Mcdowell held the inquest in the
witness was Mrs. Ida Helmstetter, wife of
the murdered man. Her testimony was an
exact repetition of her interview exclusive
ly given in THE DISPATCH yesterday
morning. On her testimony, which was
given in a very straightforward manner,
were the seven persons held.
Henry Plohr, who was playing with
Helmstetter when the murder occurred,
told similar story and testified to having
been hit with a brick before the fight
started. Plohr is cripple and uses
crutch, and he said Mrs Reardon took his
crutch from him in the fight.
VIM. Oxley was another man who saw
the fight and it was he who carried Helm
stetter into the house and removed his
bloody clothing.
Walter Coleman was passing the yard at
the time of the fight and he saw an Italian
brandishing knife and heard him say:
''Kill the Dutch pig"
Mrs. Sophia Plohr and numerous other
witnesses testified against the italian. Drs
Kirk and Espey, who held the autopsy, in
their report said Helmstetter came to his
death from knife and scalp wounds
William Reardon denied all connection
with the affair. He said he had not been
out of the house. His wife's testimony
was in the same strain. Mrs. Mulinaro and
Mrs. Zappe also denied all part in the
crime The Italians were not asked to tes-
tify, and the jury rendered the verdict
above named.
All of the women have little infants and
these they took to Jail with them. There
are six or seven of the Reardon children
left at home and they will be taken in
charge by the Humane Society.

Frank Helmstetter.
THE DEFENDANTS DENY THEIR GUILT

Charles Shanahan to-day occupies cell
in the county Jail, where he broods over
the murder of John Mcclure, committed
by his hands at Walkers Mills yesterday
afternoon at 6 o'clock.
The Coroner's jury in the case of Frank
Helmstetter was just rendering a verdict
which sent four men and three women to
Jail, charged with taking human life, when
Shanahan struck the blow, which made him
murderer
Walkers Mills is a mining town, five
miles below Mansfield, on the Panhandle
Railroad. Fourth of JUL was spent in
drinking and rioting, and the spirit, instead
of dying, was renewed yesterday. Shana-
han, Mcclure, and numerous other miners
gathered at the house of a man named
Skelly.
Had Plenty to Drink.
Skelly's beer whisky and some peculiar
liquid of an intoxicating nature, which
finds its origin in that region, flowed like
water. All day long the men drank.
From time to time little alterations would
arise between some members of the circle,
which for a minute or two would sever So
cial ties, but peace was always restored. So
matters ran along until the day was
drawing toward close. Then some
misunderstanding arose between Shanahan
and Mcclure. For quite q time they ar
gued on the inside of the Skelly home.
They warmed to their job, and the house
got too small for them. Mcguire went out
side and Shanahan followed him where the
broken thread of the argument was taken
up. Soon blows took the place of words
They commenced fighting just outside the
door. Shanahan was hard hitter, and Nc
Guire was not able to receive his blows.
To save himself, he retreated backward,
keeping up the aggressive.
How McGuire Was Killed.
Some feet from the door stands the rain
barrel Unconsciously toward this Nc
Guire backed He was just within foot
or two of the barrel, when Shanahan gained
q step on him and dealt him an awful blow
under the chin. McGuire's hands were
thrown up, and with moan he fell back,
his head and back striking the barrel.
Thirty minutes later he was dead.
Shanahan was so drunk he did not realize
what he had done. Other members of the
party were still able to think, and one went
Tor doctor and another for the constable.
The doctor was unable to do anything for
the man and until the autopsy is held Just
what caused his death will not be known.
Too Drunk to Get Away.
Shanahan was promptly arrested by the
constable, and last night at 10 o'clock he
was brought to the county jail. He was
still very drunk and could tell nothing of
his crime. As Warden McAleese locked
him up the man said: 'fWhat am 1 here
for? 1 only knocked McGuire's head
against the rain barrel 1 did not hurt
him."
Mcclure is 45 years of age and unmar-
ried. He was q man who had no friends,
and the people at Walkers Mills refused to
take charge of his body, and the remains
were sent to Mansfield undertaken. There
they will remain until the Coroner views
them to-day and holds his inquest.

WOMEN TRY ELECTIONEERING.

Mrs. CORVALLIS West Pleads for Her Hus-
band, but Is Not Listened to by the
Crowd-The Son of the Great Liberator
supports the Liberal Candidate.
LONDON, July 5.-Daniel O'Connell, son
of the great Irish liberator, is strongly sup
porting the candidature of the Rt Hon.
James Lowther, Conservative, in the Isle
of Thanet, division of Kent. Upon being
asked why he, an Irishman and Catholic,
did not follow in the footsteps of his father,
Mr.. O'Connell replied: SIT is as an Irish
Catholic that / vote for Conservative. 1

country wisely governed. Mr. Gladstone s

Mrs CORVALLIS West, wife of Colonel
CORVALLIS West, the Liberal Unionist candi-
date in the State of CLYDE, division of Den
bigshire, Wales, is canvassing the district
N behalf of her husband. To-day she
tried to quell a row among the electors, WHO
refused to hear the Colonel speak. Amid
cries of Don't shout her down." she OBJ
tanned momentary hearing, but the dis
order revived, and she became very angry.
She said: 81 am an Irish woman, but it
was not until came to Wales that found
men capable of refusing to hear woman
who was pleading a cause
She was stopped by storm of yells and
misses. Then, pluckily leaving the plat
form, she forced her way through the mob
TO the platform from which the opposition
orator was addressing crowd and tried to
argue him into silence. He shook his fists
in her face and repelled all her attempts to
argue with him. There was the greatest
sort of excitement in the crowd, and finally
a melee occurred around Mrs. CORVALLIS
West that forced her to return to the Un-
ionist platform. The meeting broke up in
a general scrimmage
Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain, in a speech at
Walsall, said: 'NIr. Gladstone never pro-
posed measures for the benefit of the work
lngmen until he required their votes. He
has suggested home rule for Ireland on the
colonial model; but colonies are empowered
10 make tariff, and unless Ireland is
allowed to do the same this solution of
the problem will not be accepted as final,
and Mr. Gladstone will be in a dilemma
The Standard says; 1.-The Liberal gains
do not Justify any complacency on the part
OF the candid Home Rulers. Unless they
do much better during the remainder of the
week they will still be in the minority. On
the other hand, the details of the elections
are full of encouragement to the Unionists
Nowhere has there been humiliating re-
verse. Above all the survival of the Dis
sldent Liberals in undiminished strength
must be mortifying to the politicians who
treated them as doomed to extinction"

ing between the warning Irish factions,

Mr.. Mccarthy replied to the Commission
to-day that he must consult with the men,

Parnellites are also unwilling to discuss the
matter at present. The Commission say
they do not despair of smoothing matters
after the elections have taken place.
