M'CLURE'S MISTAKE

E. ", Linton Sues the Law and Ordea Man.
arer and Two of His Assistants for
$1,000 damages for False Arrest-The
Defendants Would Accept No Ex-
plantations.
Attorney James K. Wallace Yesterday
filed a suit on behalf of E. W. Linton
against Robert Mcclure, the Law and
Order agent, Henry A. Crooks, a resident
of Oakdale, and Frank May, one of Nc
Clure's detectives for 81, 200 damages for
false arrest. Capiases were issued for the
arrest of the defendants and bail required
in the sum of $500 each.
Linton is teamster at Oakdale. He
states that on January Z, 1892, at Oakdale,
while he was at his occupation Of teamIng,
the defendants, without cause or reason
whatever, but under pretense that they had
a warrant for the plaintiffs arrest, assaulted
him and placed handouts on him, and took
him away from his team and work. They
brought him to Pittsburg and took him be-
fore an alderman, where he was discharged,
as he was not the man the warrant was for.
Linton states that when he was arrested he
told them he was not the man the warrant
named, and prouosed TO establish the fact
by persons near, but the defendants would
not listen to him and dragged him away.
For the shame and disgrace he was put to
and the ANNOYANCE he suffered Linton wants
81, 900 damages
The man for whom the warrant was issued
and for whom Linton was mistaken was
charged with illegal liquor selling.

AN INTERPRETER WANTED.

Tho New Street Act Likely to Go 10 Court
Axain-The Majority Clause Again .
Stumbling BIock-Tfying to Prevent
tho Vacation Of an Alley.
There is an ordinance before Councils
which will probably bring the new street
act into court again, to get q further trans
lation of the clause, "a majority in number
and interest,"" relating to changes or i'm
provements on streets. The ordinance in
question provides for the vacation of Mint
alle-, from South Sixth street to a point SO
feet west of South Seventh street. The
Pittsburg, Virginia and Charleston Rail-
road Company had it presented, their OBJ
ject being to build large freight depot on
their property covering both sides Of the
alley up to the point designated. The alley
is 20 feet wide and seldom used. The COM
panv agrees to make the 88 feet stretch 35
feet wide and to pave and improve it. The
opponents to the vacation are owners of
small lots fronting sS feet on Carson street
at South Seventh, and running back the
same depth to the alley, but will not be in
terfered with by the vacation OF the lower

When the ordinance came before Common
Council it was referred to subcommittee.
which yesterday afternoon considered it and
decided to report it tavorably to Councils
notwithstanding that there are four -signers
against and only one for it. There i
reason to believe that Councils will pass the

owning property on both sides Of a street
constitute the legal majority on that part

A QUESTION OF TIME
Now Agitating Many Saloonkeepers
Of Allegheny County.
VAGUE POINT IN THE BROOKS LAW.
Liquor Dealers Want the Opening and Clos.
ing Hours Fixed. -.-
A RULING TO BE ASKED FROM THE coUR1

How early and how long shall the saloons
of Pittsburg be opened is the one question
that is now being discussed by saloon men
and others interested in saloons in Pitts
burg. On this important and, to the saloon
people, decidedly interesting point the law
is said to be vague, and. no rule has been
established for the guidance Of the saloon
keepers. In several of the cities in the
State the saloons are kept open all night,
notably in Harrisburg. In Washington, d.
c., where they have law similar somewhat
to the Brooks high license law, they have
special licenses for all-night houses, while
in many towns in Pennsylvania the saloons
are, by order of Court, closed anywhere
from o'clock in the evening until mid
night, and not opened until o'clock in the
morning.
B. c. Christy, who has become more or
less famous for bis opposition to license ap-
plicants, says he will endeavor to get
ruling from the Allegheny County Court
on this question. and if the Court declines
to make such a ruling he says he will pros
ecute some one and test the case in the Su-
preme Court.
Attorney William Hunter with party
Of other lawyers, were discussing the mat
ter last night. 81 don't know what Mr..
Christy MEANS" MIR. Hunter said. 'Tt is
certainly not the talk of an attorney.
The Brooks law says nothing on the
subject 1t does not indicate when the sa-
looms shall open. The license law of 1867
and the act Of 1872 provided, one of them
for the hour of closing and the other for the
hour Of opening, but both these acts were
repealed by the Brooks act, which leaves
the opening and closing with the Court.
Again, how in the world would Mr..
Christy prosecute q saloon keeper without
law on the subject. There is no record kept
in License Court, and certainly Mr.. Christy
would not go to the Supreme Court without
case when be knows he cannot make
case in the lower court. Probably the gen.
tleman contemplates going to the Supreme
Court to compel the lower court to make
ruling to suit him."
The subject is likely to be discussed in
court before the licenses for this year are
entirely disposed Of
When Brooks. the author of the Brooks
high license law, was in Pittsburg recently,
he said to DISPATCH reporter that his
bill did not contemplate the regulation of
hours for saloon. That, he said, should be
fixed by city or boroug h ordinance.

REMOVING CENTRAL STATION.

The Last Sunday Morning Hearing to Be
-, Held in the Old Building To-Day.
Magistrate Gripp will preside over the
last Sunday morning hearing in the old
Diamond alley police station this morning.
Next Sunday the scene of that weekly Incl
dent of criminal life will have been trans
ferred to the new Central station on Oak
alley. The transfer is to be made next
Thursday night The interior of the
new quarters is practically COM
pleted now, but it will re-
quire several days to put on the finishing
touches and get the % cells ready for lodg-
ers The old church building has been ad-
mirably arranged for its new use, and the
handling of prisoners will be a simple mat
ter there as compared with the old building.
Instead of being taken through the court
room, prisoners will be landed at a special
door and conducted directly into the prison
room. The women will have cells away
from the men and will not be seen
bv the men when taken in, as formerly.
The detention cells, for persons who are
simply held on suspicion and not as crimi-
nails, are neatly fitted up, and will be much
pleasanter, though equally as secure, as the
others.
The large yard surrounding the station is
being paved with asphalt, and will make an
excellent drill ground for the policemen, as
we'll as securing privacy from crowds when
such privacy is desirable.
The old station is being dismantled, half
of the cells being already torn down, and
the building will be entirely vacated by the
police department by the time the new
'1essees are ready TO take charge on April 1.

Expected to Adopt a Sewer System That
VIII Meet Future Demapds SEP 81:
At special meeting of the Wilkilsburg
Council last night the report Of the Sewer
age Committee was adopted unanimously.
The report recommends the adoption of the
separate or Waring system, and that "a
inch main sewer be run from the southern
boundary of the borough to the outlet at
the Monongahela river, with lateral sewers.
This will have the capacity to carry off the
house and roof drainage of Brushton, Will
kinsburg and Edgewood, based on house
being on every 33 feet front, which repre-
sents population of 22.5OO, about three
times the present number of inab-
itants. In this system flush tanks
are at the head of all laterals. These
flush tanks will require 450 gallons of water
day. The Pennsylvania Water Company
has agreed to supply the 13O tanks at the
rate of 81 60 each. This Will be accepted
by the board, provided 30-year contract
can be made with the water company.
The Waring system will cost $160, ,000
Next Monday night there will be an ad-
journed meeting of the Council when the
ordinance providing for the submission to
the vote of the citizens the proposition to
issue bonds to this amount be passed, as all
the Councilmen are in favor Of it. Nine
tenths of the citizens, it was stated last
night, will vote for the building of the
sewer, as the present poor drainage has been
the cause of much sickness. DR.. Brown, of
the mute school, says his institution will
pay 5000 toward building the sewer.

Moving Onto the Float.

ers The buildings were the prop
erty of the West Penn Railroad.
the company desiring the ground occupied
by the buildings for track room, decided to
remove them. Messrs. Houston purchased
them and moved them on, to their property
on the Pittsburg side.
A. c. Houston was seen BY a DISPATCH
reporter yesterday. He said: 'The row was
comparatively new and sold very cheap.
We at first thought the transfer could not be
made, but finally concluded to try 1t. We
propose to move the buildings to our
property near Butler street, just opposite
up to rent. There are two more buildings
that we have secured and propose to bring
them over in the same way. After they
have been renovated and put in shape for
tenants it will make fine row that will
have cost comparatively a small sum"
Saved Both Time and Money.
Mr.. Houston was asked if it would not
have been cheaper to have torn down the
old buildings and hauled them
over and then rebuilt them out Of
the old material. He replied: mo.
The cost of moving is considerably less, and
besides, we have the buildings over now in
tact, which is also great saving IN time.
The row was built very solidly and if we
had taken it apart and put it together again
1 don't think we would have gotten the
same service out of them"
The buildings are about 80 feet long by 20
wide, and presented queer spectacle to the
sightseers The next move will be to get
the houses from their strange foundations to
the new site, distance of nearly 400 yards
from the river bank. The Allegheny VAL
ley Railroad will have to be crossed, which
will probably be done on Sunday in order
not to interfere with the running of trains

RosEBERRY GOT OFF EASY.

The Teacher Who Made Two Boys Chew
Soap Fined 80 and Costs.
c. E. Roseberry, the teacher of school
No. 2, Ohio township, was fined SO and
costs at hearing held before Alderman
McNulty yesterday afternoon. He was
prosecuted by A. H. Grubbs, the father Of
Newton B. Grubbs, aged 13 years. Mr..
Grubbs claimed the teacher compelled his
son to eat soap, from the effects of which
the boy became sick and was confined to bed
for week. Roseberry admitted all of the
allegations.
rhe testimony was in substance that
young Grubbs and Leet Skiles,a companion,
were chewing gum while studying in the
class room. The teacher became so aggra-
vated that he ordered the two boys to the
front of the room, where they were forced
to chew gum for Is minutes. The teacher
then took the gum from them and mixed it
with soap, and made the boys chew it.
Grubbs became very i'll while chewing and
tried to cease. He was prevented in this
object by Roseberry, who held a stick and
struck him over the legs with it when he
would stop.

Charges of Fraud to Be Filed on Both
Sides In Allegheny.
According to people from the inside or
both factions in Allegheny the fun on the
Northside has just commenced, and in
formations will be made against many more
officials and Councilmen. Both sides have
got down to work and many new suits are
threatened for this week.
Attorney j. Scott Ferguson is. authority
for the statement that he has a clear case
against Auditor McKirdy, who comes up
for hearing before Alderman Braun to-
morrow afternoon. It has also been stated
that Alderman Braun would enter suit
against William Kennedy, the Republican
nominee for Mayor, for taking city con-
tracts when he was in Councils, but Mr..
Braun denied this last night.
1t was also stated last night that suit
would be brought against one of the Audit
ing Committee leaders for acting as viewer
on the opening of. street while he was
Councilman and for receiving a bribe of
$500. Similar rumors were afloat about a
number of the other Councilmen yesterday.

OPPOSED TO THE LEASE.

Business Men Will Watch the Action OF
Councils on the Market House Proposi-
tion-strong Remonsrrances to Be Pre-
The last regular meeting of the present
City Councils will be held tomorrow, and it
is probable the session will have some in
teresting features. The most important
matter to be considered, as far as could be
definitely learned yesterday, will be the
lease of the Fifth Avenue Market
House to the Eighteenth Regi-
ment and Battery B. The business
men and property holders who have been
opposing the lease will be on hand numer-
ously. and they will present remonstrances,
squares around the market house, asking
Councils not to approve the lease and stat
ing their objections to having that valuable
property given away for armory purposes
A member of Councils boastfullv in
formed one Of the remonstrants yesterday
that despite all the remonstrances and all
the opposition they could muster, including
Mayor Gourley, the lease would be ap-
proved by Councils, and that would be the
only thing necessary, as under an ordi-
nance passed by Councils in 1890, Chief
Bigelow has the right to make lease to
the military companies, subject to the ap-
proval Of Councils. As the opponents to
the scheme have been counting largely
on the Mayors veto of any resolution or
ordinance conveying the lease, the informa-
tion that no such document was necessary
caused considerable discussion and did not
lessen their opposition.
A number OF gentlemen of means in that
locality have determined that if Councils
will not protect them in the matter
they will put up all the money
necessary to fight it out in the courts,
and will ask for an injunction
to restrain the city from executing the lease
as soon as it is approved by Councils. They
take great comfort from the pronounced ar
gument in their favor by Attorney w. j.
Howard, who was quoted in an interview
Friday as saying that a lease such as is pro-
posed would be an illegal outrage, which no
court would sustain.
1t is generally expected that the Mayor
will have one or two veto messages to Coun-
cils one against the new sidewalk ordi-
nance and the other against the Armstrong
alley vacation in the Twenty-frst ward.
Some friends of the latter ordinance called
on His Honor yesterday and urged their
case so strongly that the Mayor went out to
examine into the matter himself last even
ing. He declines to say what he proposes
to do about it. There is much speculation
as to whether the sidewalk ordinance is to
be vetoed or not, but the Mayor himself
will give no inkling as to what his course
will be.

10000 Square Feet of Music.

Not less than six large floors filled to the
brim with musical instruments of every de-
scrip:ion-and the very best and most de-
sirable of their kind at that! Can any music
store in the land beat this?
The Messrs H. Kleber & Bro, 506 Wood
street, have for nearly so years supplied al
most exclusively the musical wants of West
ern Pennsylvania. They have secured the
sole agency for the best pianos and organs
and band instruments and sheet music in
the country. The Steinway and the Con-
over and the Opera pianos are admitted the
very best in their respective order, while
the great Vocation church organs and the
7-octave piano-organs are the wonder of the
present generation. Add to this that the
Messrs. KIeber & Bro. are the only music
firm who have been brought up to music
from infancy, and it is no wonder that the
people place more reliance upon their say-so
and their choice than in the representations
of any other house.

Pennsylvania Oil Preferred.

Carnegie's Thirty-third street mill, where
the Rose fuel system is in use, has been using
Lima OIL Yesterday change was made,
the Producers Company having induced
the company to use oil from the Mcdonald
field. 1t is cheaper and is said to be better
oil for fuel. The Hall Pump Works, of
Allegheny, and several other companies in
the two cities have adopted the use of oil.
The Producers Company is making an
effort to have the manufacturers in general
adopt the system.
