Superintendent Mead Begins Remodeling
the Fire Alarm Service.
The work of remodeling the entire fire
alarm service of the Bureau of Electricity
began yesterday morning. An extra force
of linemen were put to work, and the proc
ess of changing the electric circuits and
putting up new wires was commenced
simultaneously in several sections of the
city. Superintendent Morris Mead, under
whose direction all the work is being
done, says he expects to have the
work completed, as outlined exclusively
in THE DISPATCH two weeks ago, within
three months. A vast amount of labor will
be required. In addition to putting up
over 100 miles of new wire the electrical
machinery of every fire alarm box in the
city must be taken out and rearranged so
that it will ring the new number to which
it will be changed. There will not be ten
boxes in the entire city which will not be
changed. .---,s.-
The changing of the numbers on the out
side of the boxes will be easily effected.
The old numbers are fastened on with
small bolts, and can easily be replaced with
fire alarm system is going on there will be
no stoppage of the service at any point
The work is so completely mapped out that
on given day, when the change is about
completed, the whole series of new numbers
will go into effect and the entire new sys-
tenn placed in operation.

HURT AT HOMESTEAD.

John Snodgrass Fatally Scaided by an Ex-
p1osion in the Carnegie Works - Sick
Men Brought Down on the Tide
Crowds at the Wharf
A serious accident occurred yesterday at
Homestead which will probably result in
death to the victim. Old John Snodgrass
is civil engineer and lived at 3445 Small
man street for a long time until the recent
troubles at Homestead. He Joined the Car
neCie forces as non-union workman. He
was one of the men who bunked within the
mill and had at various times done both day
and night turns On Sunday night he
worked until after z o'clock, when he
lavd dowu on q cot near the engines and
boilers of his charge in the 23-inch mill.
The man who relieved him in the morning
allowed the water in the boilers to go far
below the gauge. When he discovered the
loss of water be at once began to pump cold
water into the boilers Snodgrass lay with
his head directly in line with the row of
boilers which supply steam to all the en-
gines of the 23-inch mill.
The moment the cold water came in con-
tact with the sides of the red hot boilers
the cylinder flew off the one nearest to
Snodgrass, issuing a shower of scalding
water on the body of the unfortunate old
man.
Snodgrass was removed to the hospital
until the evening when he was brought
down on the Tide and taken to the West
Penn Hospital. His face, hands and feet
are horribly burned and it was the opinion
of the ambulance surgeons after seeing him
last evening, that he could not possibly
live
There were two other sick llen on the
Tide with Snodgrass, one suffering from in
flamation of the bowels, the other from an
attack of typhoid fever
Quite large crowd Of curiosity-seekers
waited for over an hour at the wharf to see
the sick man landed. When Snodgrass had |
been placed in the ambulance wagon one of |
the strikers attempted to raise an argument |
with the injured mans brother-in-iaw, who |
runs small donkey engine in Homestead. |
The striker was hustled off the wharf by a
policeman.

themselves to other hills, and all of the
northern mounds were guarded by a savage
Westerner.
So it continued until well along in the
afternoon Then everybody was hot and
mad. Everyone was tired of trifing. A
delegation waited upon the white leader,
and his spirit was humbled with 42-caliber
bullet.
Their first success inspired them to SINH
lar attempts. Officers Kreps, Hutchinson
and Shreeves started for the uncrowned
king of another hill Their attack was less
confident, and as result the monarch made
dash toward them. There was wide
scattering.
Another Steer Runs Amuck.
The animal had his head lowered and
kept on. He crashed through the barb
wire fence of the Murdoch property and
started alter an employe. The employe
directly retired behind tree. The steer
kept right on and struck the tree with such
force that the green little apples fell in a
shower. The steer staggered back in a
dazed kind of way and few moments later
was dead.
The force of officers was increased by
many small boys and a number of un-
mounted men. By massing his now for
midable force, General Mcknight corralled
a drove of Al. Then another king was par
sued, and in running broke his left fore
leg. Limping on, he was finally cornered.
He was surrounded by a circle of men. A
cowboy was among the number, and an i'm
provised lasso was produced. Officer Rich
ardson took the rope and walked boldly for
ward. The animal made dash
for him, and he barely saved him.
self by falling sideways to the ground.
The old road sweeper, who merely acted as
spectator, was next espied by the
wounded steer, and he was struck IN the
middle of the back and performed some re-
markable acrobatic feats in the way of
tumbling. The cowboy finally came to the
rescue and dextrously lassoed the animal.
The animal was slowly dying and one of the
butchers in the employ of Peter Tersch
killed the animal few feet from the road
way, and the grass was dyed crimson with
the blood.
Butchered On the Hillside.
The steer was butchered on the grassy
slope of one Of the most picturesque parts
of the park. The butcher, with sleeves
rolled up, a long, keen knife in his hand
and crowd of curious spectators nearby

The steers got around to the neighbor-

to riot. AT their approach Gusky eyed
them narrowly with his small black eyes.
On they came as though bent on tearing
every fence, cage and inclosure to the
ground. Gusky forgot his equanimity of
and broke loose. When finally
captured he was cavorting about his little
pen like some frisky lamb very much over
grown. At nightfall the sentinels were re-
lieved and the park was again open to the
public.
A few of the steers escaped from
the corral and broke into Homewood
cemetery, where they were still roaming
late last night They did no particular
damage save trampling down flower gardens.

PROF. PARKER'S END.
Sad and Sudden Death of a Well
Known Pittsburger.
HE EXPIRED In A PARIS HOTEL,
And Was Placed Beneath the God Before
Friends Arrived. i
HEART TROUBLE THE CAUSE ASSIGNED

The many friends of Prof Henri
Rollin Parker will be shocked to hear of
his sudden death in Paris on August II.
Edgar X. Bennett. of Horne & Co.,
returned home from Paris yesterday morn
ing and brought the news, having been in
that city on the day Of Prof. Parker's
death.
Prof. Parker left this city in happy
spirits several months ago in company with
Dr. Holland, Chancellor of the Western
University, where Mr.. Parker was Prof es
sor of French. He was a man of untiring
devotion to his friends and his efforts in
trying to entertain those who happened to
be- in Paris at the time he was visit
ing there FASTENED his death. His
unceasing activity in the extremely
hot weather aggravated the heart trouble
to which he was subject and caused his
death.
On the evening of August II, Prof. Parker
retired to his room in Hotel de PArcade
apparently in the best of health. At z
O'Clock the next morning he rang for the
waiter to bring up his breakfast The order
he gave was prepared and sent to his room
about 7:30 o'clock. The waiter upon OPEN
ing his door found Prot. Parker lying in
the middle of the floor taking his last
breath. A doctor was called, but to no
avail.
The news of his death was not. published
in the Partisan papers until the next day
John McCune, young Pittsburger who
happened to be in Paris, saw the item and
went over to Mr.. Bennett while he was
taking his breakfast and called his atten-
tion to the paragraph. They Immediately
started for the Hotel de PArcade and
arrived there at 1 o'clock, but too late.
Prof Parker had been buried at II o'clock
that morning A search for Prof. Parker's
relatives was begun, but did not bring any
result until August 90, the day Mr.. Ben
nett left Paris when he received a note
from Nine. Blanche Huet, the daughter of
the proprietor of the hotel, stating that
Mr.. Parker's brother had called at the
hotel and was put in possession of ali the
facts relating to his death.
Prof Parker came to Pittsburg several
years ago, unknown, but by his earnest en-
deavors and hard work he placed himself in
prominent I)ace among the instructors of
the city. Besides being Professor of French
at the University, he was engaged in a
similar capacity in the Bishop Bowman
Institute and the Park Institute. His
ability as teacher was unquestioned and
the earnestness with which he entered into
his work combined with his uniform
courtesy of manner. crowned all his efforts
with success. Prof. Parker also wrote for

CIVIL LAW SUPREME.

The Coroner's Jury Criticises tho Conduct
ofihe Military In the Benningho Case
Verdict OF Accidental Death Rendered
Judge Gripp's Views.
The Coroner's jury in the case of Jere-
miah Benninghof, the private soldier in
Co. K, Fifteenth Regiment, who was shot
and killed by the discharge of revolver of
Ford Smith of the same company, at Home
stead last week, rendered a verdict of acci-
dental death. In their verdict the jury
added that ''the officers in charge of the
militia who ordered the removal of the body
beyond the limits of Allegheny county, did
so hastily and in direct violation of the
law"
The inquest was held Yesterday arter-
noon, there being no one present but Mag
istrate Gripp. who acted as Coroner. and the
jury. The only testimony produced were
three afidavits by members of the regiment,
Surgeon Heilman, Assistant Surgeon Mar
tin, First Lieutenant W. A. Reed and
who was with Smith when the fatal shot
was fired. The afidavits related the story
of the shooting, and went to show that
Smith could not have fired the shot pur-
posely, there being the walls of two tents
between them, and neither knowing of the
presence of the other,
Magistrate Gripp, after the verdict had
been rendered, expressed satisfaction over
1t. 1.-The question of how much power
military authorities have in stimes of peace
is one which should be officially decided.
The law is clear enough to me, but the ac-
tlons OF those officers in the Bennington
case show that they don't understand it.
They don't seem to understand they are
under civil law; that this is not time of
war, and that they are in Homestead to
assist the Sheriff of this county, and are
under his orders. If war had been officially
declared, the Coroner Would have no au-
thority to hold an inquest In a case like
the death of Benninghoff a court martial
would be held, the question of responsible
ity decided, and the ends of justice met. In
a case like this the man who caused the
death of another would receive some pun
ishment.
''The present is not time of war. In
all cases of violent death the Coroner of
the county is bound to hold an inquest. No
guard officer has right to say, as I under
stand Colonel Krebs said to Squire Oeffnerr
when the latter went to the camp to hold an
inquest: The body is not here, but you
should not even see it if it was.
'.It has been suggested that the question
of supremacy under the law, in times such
as exists at Homestead now, be taken to d,
court for general decision. I can't see
how it could be taken to court, and more
over see no necessity for it. The law is
clear There is distinction between
peace and war times which decides the
relative position of the soldier. At Home
stead to-day even deputy sheriff has more
legal authority than a soldier unless the
deputy or the Sheriff orders the soldiers to
perform certain duty. The soldiers bear
the same relative position to the deputies
outside the city limits

PROTECTED ON EVERY SIDE.
Electric Light Companies Can't Be Com
PEELED to Pay Their Taxes

Electric Light Companies Can't Be Com
PEELED to Pay Their Taxes
Controller Morrow yesterday found a
Supreme Court decision covering the
exemption OF electric light companies from
city taxation which satisfied him beyond a
doubt that further opposition to the
exemption would be useless The decision
is less than three years old and was rem
dered in the case of the'city OF Lancaster
against an electric company in that place.
1t explicitly states that "the real estate of
an electric light company, being part of its
capital stock, and paying State taxes, is
exempt from taxation by the CITY,"
There is no use trying to oppose such, a
clear-cut case as that" said the Controller.
.The only hope for the future is legislation
which will do justice to taxpayers by COM
pelling these big corporations to pay their
share toward the city government AS the
Supreme Court has defined it the law is
outrageous and it is the duty of our repre-
sentatives in the Legislature to correct it at
the earliest opportunity"

Officer Kings massive figure was the first
in sight of the cattle. The white leader
espied him. Officer King drew his revolver.
The next thing he knew his horse was
wildly plunging, he received blow and
was dismounted He arose in dazed kind
of way and fred shot at some invisible
star He glanced at the white steer, who
was eyeing him viciously short distance
away. Officer King forgot how tired he was
and made q squirt for his trembling
horse, who was obediently awaiting
him. He had but just mounted
