With Prison Bars Between Them.

Separated Couple Kiss and Make Up
With Prison Bars Between Them.
An interesting little love drama was en-
acted in the Twelfth ward last night. Will
lam Cassidy was married a few months ago,
and went to housekeeping with his bride,
but in short time his /bibulous habits
caused a separation, and Mrs. Cassidy re-
turned to work at boarding house where
she had formerly been domestic. Last
week she applied for divorce. He became
repentant on hearing of this, and called sew
eral times to see his wife, but was refused
admittance
Last night he determined to see her at all
hazards. About O'Clock he went to the
house and. going around to the rear, was in
the act Of crawling in through window
when detected and arrested as suspicious
character by policeman, who thought he
was burglar. Mrs. Cassidy, hearing the
noise, ran out and taking in the situation
protested vigorously against the arrest.
Her re,nonstraGce was of no avail, however,
and he was led off to the station where she
soon afterward put in an appearance. At
her request she was allowed to go
in and talk to him, but the
sight of her hubby behind prison
bars was too much FOR her, and she burst
into tears. Then they talked the matter
over He promised to reform and she
offered p withdraw her application for
divorce. She police would not release him,
and she was compelled, after an affecting
farewell, kissing him through the bars, to
leave him in his solitude, promising 10 re-
turn and testify in his behalf at the hearing
this morning

ALL DANGER Is OVER.

The Flood Eas Reached It's Height-An
Wave = Shopkeepers, However, Kept a
watcl, All Night.
Once again old Prob proved correct in
his predictions and host of people are
thankful for the cold wave that arrived
just in time to check the rising tide and
save the low points from an inundation.
The marks on the Monongahela wharf at
midnight showed % feet inches
and rising at the rate of 2 inches
an hour, but it was pre-
dicted by rivermen that it would not
go over % feet. This information was
gladly received by representatives of the
various business houses in the low districts,
who were on watch waiting the slightest
appearance of water to remove their goods
to place of safety.
At Joseph Horne & Co. IS, on Penn ave-
nue., all the goods in the cellar had been re-
moved to the storeroom. Manager Durbin
Horne thought it better to move them
than run the risk of wetting.
At Carr's tobacco store, under the Fifth
National Bank, several persons were on
watch for water and ready to carry the
stock out. This is gauge for business men
in that vicinity, as the water generally
makes its appearance there first and every
body at once takes all precautions necessary
to save their stock. Along the Monongahela
wharf everything was quiet. There
was just the slightest evidence of
water in the cellars at Wood and
Water streets, which is the lowest
point along the wharf, but, as before stated,
the water will not rise high enough to
compel the removal of goods. Very little
damage has been done. The Pittsburg and
Western Railroad was under water in sew
eral places, enough to cause q cessation of
business. The old bridge at ierr's Island
was washed away, but as it was soon to be
removed it is small loss.

AT the meeting of the Trades Assembly
last Saturday night the proposition of
starting national labor daily paper in
Pittsburg was discussed. This is not the
first time this matter has been brought up
in labor circles Many of the leaders are
eager that sach move should be
made, but they are leery of the out

bility of getting telegraphic service and
other requisites for operating daily. The
matter will be brought nm again at the As
sembly's meeting Saturday night of next
week.
Since the meeting the members have been
making inquiries and estimates on what
would be necessary to run daily. They
have found that it would be impos-
sible to get either the Associated
Press or United Press service. There might
be slight chance though cf their securing
an American Press Association franchise,
but in this the odds against the scheme are
great Their estimates on labor, office
equipments, ETC., have scared them, and it
looks as though the scheme would 90 to the

great surprise at this remarkable instru-

''The voicing of this organ is noteworthy;
each stop has its characteristic quality, the

serves the peculiar wooden character of the

robbed of trav of diamond rings, 81 in
number and valued at $1,000, but nine of
the rings were recovered, and the loss was
thus reduced to s, 400.
The robbery was made in a manner almost
the same as that of the Wilson diamond
robbery on Fourth avenue, Pittsburg, a
short time ago. The plate glass of the win
dow was broken with a railroad coupling
pin and the diamonds were taken. 1t &C.
CURED about $50 clock last evening. Mr..

A son of Mr.. Sarver, w. H. Sarver,
stepped into the doorway between the store
and the room where the festivities were
being held. As lie did so he saw 4 tall
man, rather shabbily dressed, standing
short distance form the show window. Mr..
Sarver thought nothing Of this and turned
to reioin the party. AS he did so he heard
the window crash and saw the man he had
observed before take from the window a
tray of diamond rings and run away. Mr..
Sarver started after him, but the thief mad
taken the precaution TO bar the door with
stick covered by newspaper and gained
time.
Officer Eckert observed the man run and
then started after him. pursuing him up
Rose alley. The thief was fleet of foot and
gained on the officer. The latter then drew
his revolver and fred five shots but without

by coupling pin. The glass was heavy
plate and the opening through it was made
in the entrance side to the doorway.
The police authorities were Immediately
notified and Chief Murphy, Superintendent
Muth and others started TO work on the
case Chief Murphy is inclined to the be-
lief that the robbery was made by the same
person who accomplished the Wilson rob-
berry. the same method being employed.
Chief Murphy and Superintendent Muth
stated that they had notified Mr.. Sarver to
remove the tray of diamonds from tine win
dow. The notification was given three
times,
