GRIER COULDN'T VOTE.

The County Commissioners Declare He Is
Only q Clerk-Lively Points Raised ON
the Awarding of the Natural Gas Con-
tract-Grier VIII Appeal
County Controller Grier is again at sea as
to what position he occupies This time
the trouble occurred over the letting of the
natural gas contract for this year. County
Commissioner Mercer was away at the sea-
shore for his health. This left only COM
missioners Weir and Boyle at the meeting
yesterday, together with Controller Grier
Commissioner Boyle's story of the affair
is as follows: 'The Man ufacturers' Gas
Company put in bid to furnish gas for
$500 q month. The bid was sent to the
Commissioners Office and was opened BY
one of the clerks In some way tip was
given to the Peoples Gas Company, and it
put in bid S25 cheaper. The superin-
tendent Of the Court House in his report to
us stated that during last month there
were five days that the Peoples Gas
Company did not furnish enough gas
to run the elevators. Last winter
we had to use coke in the Jail We sent q
man around to places furnished with gas
by the Manufacturers Company y and found
they had good supply. For that reason I
voted for the Manufacturer bid while
Messrs Grier and Weir voted for the Peo-
Piles Company. 1 raised the point that
Mr. Grier had no right to vote because he
only acted as clerk. The law on this SUBJ
ject is found in what is known as the Con-
troller's act for Allegheny county. 1t reads
as follows:
That from and after the passage of this act
all contracts made by the Commissioners of
said county, involving an expenditure ex-
ceeding $40. shall be in writing and shall,
Immediately after their execution, be filed
with the Controller, for over 500, unless
when made with the lowest and best bidder
after due notice to be published by the Con-
troller. when directed by the Commission
ers, ii he approves the purpose of the pro-
posals invited: all bids to be received by the
Controller under seal, and to be opened in
his presence by the Commissioners and the
contracts awarded, of which awards the
Controller shall keep q record; and he shall
certify no warrants for contracts not made
agreeably thereto.
Gas soon as Mr.. Weir read this he agreed
with me and the vote is tie. Controller
Grier at once declared he would advertise
for no more bids or approve warrants until
the court decided what power he has and
what he is. %
Controller Grier was seen, but refused to
say anything further than that the Peoples
COMPANY had big holdings iu the new Pin
hook field and would have plenty of gas

titles directly from ]. b. Miller, but never
from the Terminal Company. He
also told of his securing loans for the indi-
viduals who had originated the scheme
after careful investigation of the project
in Baltimore. He thought it was good
thing then, and still believes that 1t will be
brought to paying basis. 1t had been ex-
pected that something sensational would be
learned from bravo, but this was a mistake.
He was examined in much detail, but did
not seem to have any dynamite concealed
about him.
At the conclusion of his evidence the
hearing was adjourned.

CATTLE FOR THE FAIR.
Breeders Want to Know About Space and
Their Share Of tho Appropriation.

Breeders Want to Know About Space and
Their Share of the Appropriation.
The cattle men of the State held meet
ing at the Seventh Avenue Hotel yesterday
to make arrangements for their exhibit at
the Worlds Fair. John L Gordon, of
Mercer, presided. They wanted to know how
much space they could have and what por-
tion of the appropriation of $500, 900 they
would receive. John A. Woodward, As
sistant Executive Commissioner, was pres
ent, but he couldn't give definite answer to
either question. 1t was decided then to ad-
] ourn until August 80.
w. G. Berry, of Hustonville, said the
space would not be large but the breeders
would make the most of their opportunities
Special attention will be paid to the dis
play of sheep. The State is noted for its
sheep, and can make a good showing with
these animals. Mr. Berry said other States
would outdo them with draught horses, but
can make good exhibit of
shorthorn and dairy cattle.

BULLETIN BOARD CROWDS

Tho Contest Too One-Sided to Create Very
Much Enthusiasm.
A good-sized crowd scanned THE DIS
PATCH bulletin board all evening and long
after midnight. There was little enthusi-
asm. 1t was a foregone conclusion several
days ago that the ticket will be Cleveland
and Gray. The failure of the other
candidates to show any degree
of strength removed all interest
from the contest for those who like hot
fight and close finish. Cleveland appears to
satisfy the bulk of local Democrats, and
even the Republicans regard him as a safe
man, but they think he is weak in New
York, and for this reason they want to see
him nominated
The crowd waited patiently for the
balloting to commence, and the bull
letins concerning the nominating speeches
and other details of the convention were
taken as a matter, of course. When the
announcement was made that Cleveland's
name was being cheered, it did not touch
similar chord in the hearts OF the popuace
before the board. There was time when
Grover received mighty ovation in Pitts
burg, but then he had recently been mar
ried, and the enthusiasm was really for his
beautiful consort.

CLEVELAND WEAK IN NEW YORK..

Colonel Stone Says Pattison Is tho Strongest
Man tho Democrats Could Name.
Colonel Stone arrived in the city from
Washington yesterday. "Can Cleveland
carry the country?" he was asked s'No,
SIR" was the reply. Cleveland is prob
ably the strongest general candidate that
the Democrats could name, but he is weak
In New York, which is the great battle
ground. Harrison can carry that State
easily against Cleveland. The best man
tison. He is strong where others are weak,
and he would be hard to beat. I feel con-
ident, however, OF Republican success in
November"

Another Bridge to HON estead.

A charter was granted yesterday to
the Homestead Bridge Company. w. J.
Burns, President of the Second avenue
electric road, was asked whether this was
q part of the Second avenue extension
scheme. He said he knew nothing of this
bridge more than that it was to cross the river
at Browns station. The Second avenue
company has already secured its charter
for bridge and would have the road in
operation in Homestead but for the op-
position of Councilmen.

Only $50 was contributed to the Fourth

might have had an influence in this effect,
