A COMBINE PROPOSED.
A Plan TO Organize the Independent Citi-
zens, StrsiEhtout Republicans and the
New Democracy for Municipal Purposes
No Politics in the Scheme.

New Democracy 1or Poeoo
No Politics in the Scheme.
A movement is now on foot to combine
the independent Citizens, the Straightout
Republicans and the new Democratic party
for the next municipal election. In this
wav. it is argued, the City Hall administrs-
zion can he whipped and the three organiza-
tions can he of some effect As they now
stand. it is claimed. they are unable to ac-
complish any purpose, while it united they
would be in a position to dictate to the ad-
ministration and probably secure uajority
in Councils or elect the Mayor.
Our scheme has not vet been definitely
decided upon" one of the Straightout Re-
publicans said Yesterday, "but we are mov-
ing slowly in the direction of consolidation.
We have been getting the worst of things
in Pittshurg for wears, and all conditions
are ripe for an independent movement On
all sides it is agreed that as we now stand
we can accomplish nothing in either Allie
chenv county or Pittsburg. and as matter
Of protection to ourselves and the people
we have decided to combine.
"Of course, there will be no politics in our
combination. We would endeayor to secure
as our candidates clean men who have the
interests OF the city at heart and who will,
after election, serve the people instead of
the bosses
The successful work of the retormers and
citizens of Allegheny City warrants us in
believing that we can do the same thing in
PIttsburg. The powers that be were lust as
strong as in PIttsburg. But one year of
careful work and thorough organization
brought about a change.

Boston Enthusiastic Over the Vocation
Church Organ.

'It has been pleasure to make a crit
ical examination of the Vocation church
organ in Boston music hall. 1t is an instru-
ment of such variety and beauty of tone and
power as to warrant the assertion that its
production marks a new era in organ build
ing. Its use in churches Of moderate size
and means seems to be only matter of
time: and it is not an unwarranted assertion
that it must come into general church
service. EBEN ToURJEE,
"Director of New England Conservatory of
Music"
These inimitable church organs can be
had only at H. kleber & Bro.'s 506 Wood
street, who find it hard to supply the ever
increasing demand for them.

MARSHELL,
THE CASH GROCER,
WILL SAVE YOU MONEY.

We have been strictly in it this
week. In the "Soup!"
For some time past we have been
between the devil and the deep sea.
Our shipping trade had far outgrown
the capacity of our Shipping Depart
ment. We wanted to move it to our
Pittsburg stores, where we could have
more room and more modern facili-
ties, but we hesitated to make the
move till we could get caught up.
Our orders kept coming in faster
than we could send them out. So
the Catching up was not success.
We made a break this week and are
now in our new quarters.
We hope our friends will bear with
us a little, and if their orders have
been delayed not be too hard on us.
Don't forget the 1st of April will
soon be here and you may have to go
through the same experience.
Since taking possession of our new
quarters we have seen where addl-
tional Improvements can be made not
originally contemplated. These will
be completed this week, and we will
then have a Shipping Department
which will knock the spots off any
thing in the country.
In the general shaking up our
Sponges and Chamois were neglected;
so it was several days before we got
them in stock, but when we did our
4c chamois astonished everyone and
sold like hot cakes.
Send for our large Weekly Price
List. Our bargains are worth read
ing, even if you don't want to buy.

A NARROW ESCAPE.
A Little Child OF w. II. Parsons Drinks .
Quantity of Belladonna.

Last evening about o'clock, the little a
year-oId daughter of w. H. Parsons, of No.
1901 Carson street, drank a quantity of
belladonna, and it.was feared it would result
fatally. Mr.. Parsons is manager of Risher's
drugstore at that place and lives up stairs.
Mrs. Parsons brought her two children into
the store and, as usual, kept close watch
on them. A friend entered and the atten-
tion of the parents was drawn from the
children. The baby was found few
minutes later with vial of the drug, and
had taken some of it. Medicine was quickly
administered to counteract the effects of the
drug, but for some time it was feared the
child would die.
The little thing was walked about for over
an hour, and with hard work was kept
awake. 1t gradually became better, and in
few hours was out of danger.

settled at a joint meeting yesterday, at

The Locality Not a Positive Guide.

Fourth-The mere fact that piece of real
estate or many pieces of such in a locality
are laid out in building lots, should not in
my judgment, change the character of the
property for the purposes of taxation. A
farm may be laid out in building lots and
still used for farming purposes. If there are
no buildings, or, at best, a few. it cannot be
said to be built up. In other words, in order
tojustify the assessors in classifying such a
locality as built up property, there must be
more than a mere desire or intention to
build; the buildings must be on the ground.
Hence il is that the law requires you to dis
crimfnate between these three classes.
Fifth-The term "built up property" does
not, in my Judgment, necessarily mean
coulpsctly built up; on the cther hand it

Some persons have thought it curious
that the big transatlantic liners should al
ways moor their piers with their bow
inshore. To the uninitiated it appears
more natural for them to back into their
slips and moor with their stern inshorc,
and as n matter of fact nearly all of the
smaller class of steamships do this. But
there are reasons, including certain dock
regulation, why the larger vessels adopt
the opposite method of getting alongside
their whnrves,
One is that their great draft compels
them to regulate the hour of sailing by
the tide. j. is generally running flood
tide when they back out from their piers.
The current sweeps the stern up the river,
so that there is little difficulty experienced
in getting the ships head pointed down
the bay,
Another reason is that the majority of
the big passenger vessels have prelimi
nary dock trial Of their engines before they
cast off their mornings. Tomake sure that
the machinery is in perfect order the trial
generally lasts for three or four hours. If
moored with stern inshore the backwater
from the prop"llers would be apt to stir up
quantity Of II smelling mud, besides do
ing damage e. the dock itself
The constins vessels are not so particu.
lar, and only turn their propellers over a
few times before casting off their lines. On
account Of their slight draft they are indie
pendent of the tide and can go to sea when
ever they like.-New York Times.

An Early Arrival at Camp Creede.

The first man to arrive in camp was a
fellow Of somber mein. His eyes were
deep set and restless, his cheeks hollow
and his voice low and rumbling. But
he was hustler. Within three days
after his advent he had a substantial
one story building erected ON one of the
finest sites of Jimtown. Across the front
he spread the doleful legend, "Under-
taking and Embalming ON the Shortest
Notice" In the windows were neatly
printed cards setting forth that all Jobs
would be undertaken with neatness
and Dispatch" When his store was
opened it was noticed that his voice had
lost much Of its rumbling tone; that his
eyes were more tranquil and his cheeks
looked as though they might fill out with
slight encouragement. Old timers gath
cred around, rubbing their hands with
satisfaction and warmly commencing
his enterprise. you'll get rich in no
time, partner, they declared; ''just wait
till the peppers start to pop" Cheered
by this friendly comment, he did wait.
He is waiting still.
Only one subject has passed through
his gloomy hands, and that was the vic
tim of disease and not of mining camp
sport. His big linen sign is getting dull;
his inviting show cards have lost their
spruceness; the woodpecker taps not at
all in his silent workshop, and he him
self is getting STOPPER in the shoulders
and wasting away in the innocuous des-
uetude of his favorite pursuit. The
boys no longer come around to cheer
him up. On the other hand, their eyes
are often uplifted to q more hopeful sign
which adorns the cliff 800 feet above his
lugubrious head. This advertisement
sets forth that he has rival of greater
versatility-one who undertakes to eur
nish everything from the cradle to the
grave" and who is certain of some bust
ness between these extremes of human
ssitudes.-Creede Cor. Chicago Her

warning confronted him and snapped
his pistol at him. Smith at once retail
lated by striking Markham with his AK.
and never ceased striking until life was
extinct and the body horribly mangled.
The breast bone was mashed in by the
pole of the ax, there was one cut
through the left ear, the right arm had
been broken above the elbow, the elbow
was cut off, the blade buried in his
thigh, also in two places of the back,

Markham was found by a United
States storekeeper, to whom Smith re-
lated the story. Near his body was
found a cooked revolver with five loads
in it.
1t is believed by many that Smith
killed the victim in cold blood for some
unknown cause, as Markham was a
peaceable and harmless man. Smith is
regarded as a dangerous character, il

was forty years old.

At one time during our stay at Harri
sons Landing the quartermaster's de
partment was overruu with rats. There
wolves and they became so bold and de
fiant that the q, NJ. was in despair. At
last some one suggested to him to sink
some barrels in the runways, fill them
about two-thlrls full of water and cover
the top Of the water with oats; then place
u board SO that it would just balance on
one edge of each barrel and fasten to the
lower end Of the board Il piece of cheese
The board was to be attached to the bar
rel's edge by a small double staple, so that
when it tipped up and let rat into the
water the board would return to it's old
position The quartermaSter adopted the
plan with enthusiasm, but used, instead of
barrels Il lot of tierces or hogsheads, each
large enough for n thousand rats.
The scheme worked finely, and the first
night hundreds of rats had met watery
grave, when, about midnight, there was
tremendous 'plash, followed by frantic
yells such rs could have proceeded only
from an African throat Investigation
showed that II colored boy, in trying to
steal an overc"at from the quartermaster's
stores, had rlade misstep and plunged
into one Of the hogsheads. The boy was
frightened almost to death, while the sol
diers whom he walked up laughed them
selves sore The quartermaster's trap
proved effective thereafter both for rats
and darky boys, and the former after a
few nights disappeared us mysteriously as
they came. Springfield Homestead.
