THE new mercantile block on New Grant
street, between Liberty street and Seventh
avenue, now being completed, is among the
best and most modern business or ware
houses in the city; 2Ox95 feet each to an
alley, six stories high, very substantial,
we'll lighted, handsome glass fronts, ce-
mented cellars, electric lights, steam ele-
vator, steam heat, offices with fire-proof
vaults. These new buildings should fill a
long-felt want by many business men whose
business demands a large modern house
centrally located, at moderate rents. Tine
block is on good wide street without the
inconvenience of street cars, near depots,
in the heart Of the business center, adioin-
ing the fine building of the Bindley Hard
ware Company, near Harris Drug Company,
surrounded by wholesale houses of all
kinds The owners furnish heat, light and
steam power for the elevators for about the
usual rate of rent charged for less modern
houses. Two of the houses are rented and
the others are for rent by w. A. Heron &
Sons, No. 80 Fourth avenue.

ACTION OF EAST END CITIZENS.
Twentieth Ward Indignsnts Issue Circular
on Organization.

on Organization.
A meeting of the citizens of the Twen-
tieth ward was held last night. The follow
ing. circular, addressed by NJ. A. Wood
ward, George Heard and Thomas Liggett to
the tax and rent payers of the Twentieth
ward was issued
The many growing evils in the administra-
tion of affairs in certain branches of our city
government, the lavish expenditure of
money, rapidly increasing taxation, and,
above all, the practical control of our Coun-
ellis by few men, upon which fact all these
evils exist and flourish, makes it patent to
every tax and rent payer land especially to
the latter, as the burden falls in large part
on tnem) that 1t is imperative that prompt
and continued action should be taken look
ing to an abatement of these evils.
With the object in view, meeting of the
citizens of the ward was held at Liberty
school house, February 4, 1892. Democrats
and Republicans met on one common plane
and a citizens ward committee has been ap-
pointed, consisting of M. A. Woodward,
George Heard and Thomas Liggett, to meet
and confer with other similar committees of
every ward of the city: which committees
will ultimately be consolidated into one CEN
trail committee.
IN order that the work may prove ef-
fctive, it is plainly necessary that a ward
ticket should be elected th6t is in sympathy
WITH and pledge to support this movement.
Inc present Ilnle Is d crltlcal one In Gne al
fairs of Pittsburg. Manufacturers decline
to locate within our limits. and investors
hesitate to buy real estate, declaring that
values must decline unless the administra-
tion of affairs,is changed. This change can
only be brought about by the proper use of
the ballot, and it is hoped that every voter
of the Twentieth ward will be at the polls
on the day of election, and exercise his duty
as citizen.
The Independent Republicans and Dem
Gratis of the Nineteenth ward will meet to-
night in the Lincoln school house The
object Is to name vigilance committee
similar to the one appointed in the
Twentieth ward. They also propose to put
up an independent ticket. The movement
is backed by Messrs. McKelvey, Mellon,
Liggate and others

AWAITING HIS COMING.

The Custodian of the Press Feeder Girls
Finances Leaves Town-The Officials
Think He viii Return, Although There
Are Rumors to the Contrary.
A story was circulated among the printers
yesterday that custodian of the press
girls finances had left town, taking about
S275 with him. The story runs like this:
Some time ago the printers of Chicago
raised S25 for the striking feeder girls and
forwarded it to them. They bought some
jewelry with the money and held draw
ing, from which they realized about $500.
As they are not organized it was necessary
to appoint someone to take care of the
money, and one of the printers, whose name
is withheld, was chosen.
AT meeting held Wednesday of last
week the young man had the money in his
possession. A week later he left town and
has not returned yet. Yesterday it was
said he had skipped with the finances. The
printer officials last night thought the
young man had just gone on visit to his
father in Washington, d. c.. and would be
back again. The money will not be needed
until next Wednesday, and if the treasurer
is not here by that time or sends some ex-
cuse, the case will be looked up. The
printers say it will not matter to them fnan-
cially if he does not come back, as the
money belonged to the girls, and they alone
will have to stand the loss.

MANY DEMANDS MADE
By Lively Citizens Meeting Held in
the Fourteenth Ward.
CANDIDATE RODGERS INDORSED.
Considerable Activity Displayed in the East
End Districts.
FEATURES OF THE CLOSING CAMPAIGN

A meeting of citizens of the Fourteenth
ward was held In the Bellefeld school
house last night to nominate ticket for
next Tuesday. Mr.. George f. Kim pre-
sided. He announced that the citizens had
waited to see if the Republicans or Demo-
Gratis would nominate suitable persons; if
not they intended to nominate a ticket of
their own. The only nomination made
that was acceptable, he said, was
that of Commodore J. Rodgers for
Common Council on the Democratic ticket.
resent the people and not ignore them as is
the case. An auditing committee is
wanted, but it can't be gotten.
II. P. Rosenfelter here moved to indorse
the nomination of Commodore Rodgers for
Common Council. The motion was adopted
and the Commodore made brief address.
He said he considered the municipal cleo
tions of more Importance to the people in
dividually than State OF national elections
because it affects their homes and wives and
families. He would say that if elected he
would use his abilities to serve
the best interest of the people.
Continuing, the speaker discussed the as
sessments, and said they should let the ring
know that they were the last straw that
broke the camers back. He cited his own
case for an example of the increase. Four
years ago his property, No. 96 Fifth ave-
nue., was assessed at S3S, 700; three years
ago it was raised to S59, 700, and this year to
$50, ZOO. 1t pays him per cent, and he
takes all risks. He was simply a tax col
lector for the ring. They have a set of men
as the heads OF departments who are like
the fabulous vampires, sucking blood. The
only course is to forget all party prejudices,
form coalition of Republicans and Demo-
Gratis and form a peoples party and put
this thing down.
After a few further remarks, nomina-
tions were made and the ticket completed.
1t Is: Common Council, j. Rogers,
Austin Bailey and F. P. Markland; School
Directors, H. P. Rosenfelter and w. H.
Holmes. On motion it was named the

MORE APPEALS RECEIVED.
Several Townships Yesterday Asked for 8
Reduction in Assessments.

Several Townships Yesterday Asked for a
Reduction in Assessments.
The County Commissioners yesterday
heard appeals from the assessments made in
North Fayette, South Fayette and Indiana
townships and Wilmerding borough. A
large number of appeals were received from
North Fayette township. They were ow-
ing to the high valuations placed on oil and
coal producing territory. The owners of
the land thought the figures too high and
made vigorous protests One gentleman
asserted strongly that the valuation of
S125 an acre on his land was
more than the land was worth.
A few minutes later, however in CONVEX
sation he remarked, in answer to ques-
tion, that the coal operators did not want to
pay anything for coal, and one operator
made him the Insignificant offer of 5000 per
acre for the coal on his farm.
In Indiana township the land valuations
were considerably mixed. After consul
tation the interested parties agreed to select
one competent person to represent them and
Assessor next week to regulate assessments.
In South Fayette township and Wilmerding
borough but few appeals were filed. The
percentages of increase were as follows:
North Fayette, assessors 142 per cent, Com
missioners none; Indiana township, as
SCISSORS 13 per cent, Commissioners 25 per
cent; South Fayette township, assessors
90 Is per cent, Commissioners 30 per cent;
Wilmerding borough, assessors 23k per
cent Commissioners 80 per cent.

WANTS $25, eco DAMAGES.

M. F. Pritchard, the Lawrenceville Grocer,
Whose Store and Dwelling We're De-
molished on Christmas, Enters Suit
Against the PhiladeIphia Company for
That Amount
Milton F.. Pritchard yesterday entered
suit against the Philadelphia Company for
S25, 900 damages. Pritchard states that on
December %, 1891, a gas explosion oc-
cured, completely destroying his house and
grocery at 29l9 Smsllman street, and Sc
verely injuring him. The explosion was
caused by gas leaking from the defendant
company's pipes.
Just as the bells were ringing the advent
of Christmas Mr.. Pritchard went to the cell
lar to get basket he had prepared for one
of his customers, when the eXplo-
sion occurred and in a second the build
ing, which was a three-story brick, was
a magnificent wreck. The street was
strewn with debris and not the least SEM
blance of a building was left. The family
consisted of Mr.. and Mrs. Pritchard, three
children, aged 9, I and years respectively,
and two servants, David Bennett and
Barbara Reich. All the inmates were
blown into the street except Mr. Pritchard
and were more or less injured. They were
removed to the West Penn Hospital, but
were all soon able to be about except Mr..
Pritchard, who was more seriously injured
than at first supposed. At one time he was
very low, but his sound constitution pulled
him through and he was discharged from the
hospital on January 25.
The explosion was the worst that ever oc-
Cured in this vicinity as far as the destruc
tion of property is concerned. Not enough
OF the walls were left to indicate there ever
had been a building at that point. The
whole pile being one confused mass of brick,
household effects and groceries
