A Fatal DOG FIGHT.
Suits by O'Brien May Clear Up the Mystery
Of Cooley's Death.

Suits by O'Brien May Clear Up the Mystery
Of Cooley's Death.
A new feature was developed in the river
dog fight, in which John Cooley lost his
life, by General Agent O'Brien, of the
Humane Society, yesterday entering % suits
under the cruelty laws. The informations
were made before Alderman Braun, of
Allegheny. When the fight occurred
Agent O'Brien was in the'East. He knew
that a match had been made, but the
original intention was to 60 down the river
on boat to Line Island, outside the State,
and beyond the reach of PENNSYLVANIA
officers. On this account O'Brien dropped
the matter and went East on business trip,
On his return the fight had taken place, and
instead Of going down, the boat had gone
up the river.
Agent O'Brien started an Investigation
and learned that the fight began as soon as
the boat was well under way, which meant
that at least part of the battle took place in
Allegheny county. He obtained a list of
people who had been present and Yesterday
entered the suits The persons prosecuted
include John Klein, the captain of the Citv
of PIttsburg; Jack Deeney and Gus Schnute,
who are said to be principals The names
Of the others Alderman Braun will not
make public until the arrests are made.
Some of them arc people who are we'll
known in Allegheny and in the upper
wards of the Southside.
This afternoon Coroner Mcdowell will
continue his investigation into Cooley's
death, and it is expected that the inquest
will give the Humane Society further in
formation for the conduct of its case.

A TALL SUSPECT,

He Is Over Six Feet in Height, but Is Not
Very Slick.
Edward Talbert, 81 years old, and over
SIX feet in height, was arrested last night
by Inspector McKelvey and Detective
Robinson and locked up as suspicio us
character. The arrest was made on tele-
gram received from G. W. Baird, Marshal
of Frankfort, Ind, and in which it was
stated that Talbert was wanted for grand
larceny.
The telegram was received at 6:35, and on
the arrival of the train at the Union station
at GAO Talbert was arrested. The prisoner
is accused of robbing his uncle of 5000 in
money and gold and silver watch. The
prisoner is something of gawky country
lad, and when asked for the watches by De-
tective Robinson just as he alighted from
the train, Talbert produced them and turned
them over When searched at the station
S166 of the stolen money was found on his
person. When intercepted be was on his

PROJECTIONS CHAMPION.

Governor Mckinley Talks of the High Tariff
and Refers Incidentally to Commissioner
Pecks Report-Confident of Carrying
New York.
William Mckinley, Jr., Governor Of
Ohio, arrived at the Union station last
evening on the st. Louis express and left
for Philadelphia on the fast line going east
at $40 NJ When asked by DISPATCH
reporter what the exact status of the politi-
cal situation was the protection champion
said: 81 have only one opinion and one
feeling on the result of the election, and
that is the sure reelection of President
Harrison and the election of the ticket that
follows him. don't speak as it is usual
to do, but from the working of the Ma
tioual Committee and the results it has ac-
complished.
"There may be doubtful State or two
which cannot be captured, but I feel very
positive that those we carried at the last
election will be carried this time, and there
will be a couple of additions The Demo-
cratic fight will be hot one suppose, but
1 doubt if Mr. Cleveland can carry New
York. The friendship professed for the ex-
President by Tammany is hardly genuine,
although it might appear so to many fol-
lowers of the party. Without the Empire
State I don't think that the Democratic
nominee can be elected"
Speaking of the arrest of Labor Com
missioner Peck, Mr.. Mckinley said some
body's corns must have been stepped on.
The Commissioners report to him seemed
very natural and only what was to be ex-
pected. He looked for Mr.. Peck to cause
considerable trouble for the men that made
such serious charges against him The
statement made by the Commissioner that
the names he had were obtained in conf
dence should have been respected by any
Mugwump or Anti-Snapper until proof
positive that the papers were destroyed had
been received
ITO me it seems" said the Governor,
"tbat there was nothing extraordinary in
Mr. Peck's report to startle anyone, or to
draw therefrom conclusion that dishonesty
was practiced in its compilation. If the
fact of SO, 600 cases OF increased wages in the
State of New York, influenced solely by the
passage of protection policy, is such
scare to free traders, what then will be
their position when % or 80 other States
show a similar increase proportionately to
their population? The effects of the Gov
ernment's policy have already been shown
in every direction, and even In the face of
the most extreme free traders the word pro-
lection is beginning to rise up as formida-
BILE platform"

THEY WANT SEWERS.
Southsiders Want Something to Re-
place Their Mine System.
A VISIT TO THE CITY CHIEFS.
Bigelow Preparing Plan Of Sewers for the
S0uthslde.
THEY WILL BE BUILT IN THREE YEARS

The first step toward the construction oi
complete sewer system for the West End
and Mt. Washington wards of the city was
taken yesterday at a conference held in
Chief Browns Office. A delegation OF
prominent Mt Washington citizens had
been in attendance at the meeting of the
Public Safety Committee to protest against
Chief Browns ordinance compelling the
abandonment of the old coal mines under
Mt. Washington for sewer drainage pur-
poses As the committee did not take the
ordinance into consideration, the delegation
called at Chief Browns office to talk to
him.
As stated by several members of the
party, the ordinance would be an injustice
to all those now using the mines as sewers,
as it would compel return to surface
drainage, there being no sewer system on
the hill. They argued that the sulphur In
the mines acted as q dislnfectant on all
&age deposits, and that the mines were as
clean and healthy for sewer purposes as any
public sewer in the city.
Both the department chiefs com bated
these aguments, declaring that such a sys-
tenn of sewerage was bound to be dangerous
to life and health sooner or later. They
held that proper system of sewers was the
only proper drainage, and that the people
might as we'll build the system now as wait
for years, expending money on make
shifts.
The result of the conference was that
Chief Bigelow was requested to plan a COM
plcte sewer system for that section of the
city, estimate its cost and submit detailed
report to Councils. Chief Brown will have
a careful sanitary inspection made of the
old coal mines to decide whether they are
really dangerous to health and whether
there is any immediate necessity for aban-
doning them.
After the conference Chief Bigelow said
the Mt Washington and West End people
would have complete sewer system built
inside of three years ut will not be as
expensive" said he, ''as many believe
will need to accommodate Saw Mill run.
That will not be required for 40 years. A
sewer six feet in diameter, built under the
creek bed, will be ample. Such system
would not cost nearly as much as the
Thirty-third street sewer.
''The people over there say they cannot
afford to pay for big sewer. If those peo-
pie had built sewer system and paved
their streets years ago, that part of the city
would have been far ahead of the East End,
and the property would have been far more
valuable. There is not single case of in
fictitious disease, by to-day's report, in the
whole East End, yet five years ago there
was not sewer there, and infectious dis
ease was rampant all through the district" /"

BUILDING A THIRD TRACK.
The Baltimore and Ohio Needs More Tran
portation Facilities.

The Baltimore and Ohio Needs More Trans
portation Facilities.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad is to
third track its line between Rankin station
and Pittsburg. The railroad company
claims to have bought right of way of &C
feet from the Hawkins heirs, when the
Pittsburg and Connellsville Company
owned the Pittsburg division, extending on
the east side of Rankin station to a point
below the Braddook Wire Works. The
company has had side track beside its two
through tracks laid in Rankin borough and
has only occupied some Sc feet of its right
of way. The improvement will hinder
business traffic at Rankin as Is feet will be
taken off the bank and part of the street on
the north side of the track.
Attorney Imbrie, the Borough Solicitor,
will look into the Baltimore and Ohio's
right of way through Rankin borough.
The third track is said to be necessary on
account of the great freight traffic from
Rankin.

AT THE BIG SHOW.

Large Crowds of School Children and
Adults Entertained.
A monster gathering of school children
and out-of-town visitors took possession of
the Exposition building yesterday. The
little ones and their bigger brothers and
sisters had no end of fun with the merry
go-round. The Nellie Hudson made her
hourly trips to the dam and everybody had
turn. The band played as loud and long
as usual and got the same generous ap-
plause from every lover of music. Levy's
band will leave very shortly and is sure to
be missed.
The big show was as interesting as ever
and the exhibits looked fresher and brighter
than usual. The gas testing excited con-
siderable interest In all the visitors. An
other large crowd of school children will be
accommodated to-day.

Penn avenue, made feint at hack driver
and the latter promptly took fit, and
things were thus made. unpleasant for a
time. Both the hack driver and Mr.. Cor
