STIRRING UP BUSINESS MEN.
Mr.. Farquhar Here to Interest Manufact
urers in the Worlds Fair

Mr. Farquhar Here to Interest Manufact-
urers in the Worlds Fair.
Arthur B. Farquhar, Executive Commits
sioner of the Pennsylvania Worlds Fair
Commission, arrived in the city last evening
on the limited. He registered at the Mo-
nongahela House, and had retired before
80. Mr.. Farquhar recently returned
from Europe, and he is an enthusi-
astic worker in the interest of
the keystone States industries.
He has come here to arouse more interest
among the merchants and manufacturers
He will meet the Chamber of Commerce
and other trade organizations to-day. He
says he is very anxious to impress upon the
members the Importance of Pittsburgers
making cred;table display at the Fair.
The Philadelphia business men propose to
mak9 a fine showing, and Mr.. Farquhar
thinks there is no reason why the people
here shouldn't do the same.
William Quinn, the Pittsburg agent of
the board, has complained to Mr. Farquhar
about the tardiness of manufacturers in ap-
plying for space. In the Quaker City over
$50 merchants and manufacturers have
notified the commission that they would ex-
hibi.. In Pittsburg about the only applI-
cants for space are the Carnegies, the Ma
tional Tube Works and Heinz & Co., the
pickle men.

KILLED BY THE GRIP.
A Four-Tcar-Old Crushed to Death on
Penn Avenue.

A Four r-Tcar-old Crushed to Death on
Penn Avenue.
About o'clock last night, car No 234 Of
the East Liberty branch of the Citizens
Traction line, ran down and instantly
killed Mary Larozosky, four-year-old
Polish girl, at Fifteenth street The child
was playing on the street in front of her
home with some companions She had just
come out from the house after eating supper
and still clutched piece of bread in her
hands. She was playing tag" and trying
to run across the street directly in front of
the car. The pilot struck her knocking her
down, and she was doubled up in an almost
unrecognizable mass under the front wheels.
The gripman of the car, j. 1. Crout, when
he saw the impending catastrophe, put on
the brakes and stopped the car in a remark
ably short distance, but it was too late.
The body was taken from under the
wheels and carried into Mershon's drug
store at Sixteenth street Here an examin-
alton showed that both arms and leg were
broken and the forehead was crushed in.
The mother of the child was sent for and
created a scene in the drugstore, attacking,
with all the ierocity of an animal, the con-
ductor and gripman of the car that caused
the child's death. Later, the body was re-
moved to the child's home at 1915 Penn
avenue The father was at work in Shoen-
berger's mill and did not know of thu acci-
dent until some time after it occurred
Crout took his car through to East Liberty
and then went to the Nineteenth ward
police station and gave himself up. His
friends furnished 81 900 bail before Alder
man Hvndman and he was released.

ELECTION DAY SNAPS.
County Chairmen Gripp and Bremen
Preparing a List Of
UNITED STATES SUPERVISORS.
The Baker Ballot Law Makes the Work More
Difficult and
ONLY INTELLIGENT MEN ARE WANTED

Within few days Chairman W. j. Bren-
men, of the Democratic Committee, and
Chairman John Gripp, of the Republican
Committee of Allegheny County, will unite
in petition to court asking for the ap-
pointment of $50 United States Supervis-
ors. Each of the two County Chairmen
will name $50 men whom they will ask to
be appointed and the supervisors will be
assigned to duty in Pittsburg and Allegheny
and McKeesport These supervisors will be
appointed to serve under the new election
laws and the County Chairmen say they
propose to have the best men available for
the service. There will be about 10 days
work for each and each will be paid $50 for
his labor. The total cost to the general
Government will be $4,000
Chairman Gripp and myself have talked
informally about this matter" Chairman
Bremen said last night, 'and we have
agreed to recommend for appointment to
the court only men who are thoroughly
qualified Tor their work.
Only Intelligent Men Need Apply.
"We will name only men of intelligence
and men of good moral character, and the
supervisor must reside in the district in
which he is to work.
''The average man who wants to serve as
supervisor has absolutely no idea of what
his duties will be under our new election
laws" Mr. Bremen said. "And the public
does not know, either, what the duties of q
supervisor are. In the first place the super
visor must make perfect and complete
registration of all the persons entitled to
vote in his district The lists, under the
new law, are to be made from the streets
and numbers, and entirely new ones must
be prepared. The old lists are not to be
used under any circumstances This
work must be done early in order to get a
full list of the voters before they leave
town for the summer. After this is done
the supervisors must, on September or 6
60 over the lists again and make correc-
tions, by striking out the names where
the persons have removed from the dis
trict, and on the 7th and 9th of the same
month they must sit with the assessors.
Harder Work Than Usual.
"While these appointments are for the
coming Congressional election, the appoint
ees are, under the law, obliged to serve for
the Presidential election as we'll. This will
bring out bigger vote, and, in view of the
new DdllOI law, may make Cne WOrk TO De
performed somewhat harder than on previous
elections. That is the reason am especially
desirous of having good men appointed
"Will supervisors be appointed in all the
Congressional districts In the State2" was
asked.
''The law contemplates supervisors for
cities only and in this county we will ask
the appointment of men for Plttsburg, ALLIE
gheny and McKeesport. The appointments
will likely be made in June.

FLYNN HELD FOR COURT.

One Hearing Where Yost Does Dot Rule the
Roost-Thomas Flvnn, the L. q o. Spy,
Is Held for Court Under Heavy Bail.
There was Law and Order hearing yes
terday. Attorney Yost was present, but
he wore a very demureair, and preserved a
consistent silence. The explanation was
that he was in the Office of real live
Alderman named Gripp, not Squire
Rohes underground hall of justice.
The prisoner was not an honest paper carrier
but one of the leagues spies, Thomas
Flynn, alias Magee. He was charged with
having criminal operation performed on
girl he called his wife. Chief Mogul Nc
Clure, of the Law and Order aggregation,
was not present, for reasons best known to
himself and the court where he is answering
a charge of perjury On the whole it was
real live court and nineteenth century JUS
tice was meted out to Flynn. He is held
for court under $500 bail.
Ex-Judge Fetterman opened by placing
Miss Morrison, assistant matron of Be-
thesda Home, on the stand. Yost did not
rant or instruct the Squire, but simply
sank into insignifcance and chair in an
obscure corner. In fact, he was as silent as
any other relic of the dark ages should be.
Meanwhile the nurse told her story. Flynn
had his wife admitted to the Home under
the name of Magee in January. She stayed
Is days. He brought her back on Easter
Thursday, and the Sunday following
she was admitted. On the next
Saturday Flynn called and was
alone with her for half an hour
After he went away she became worse. The
nurse was alarmed, and on investigation
found an operation had been performed.
She asked the woman if she wanted to see
her husband, and when the nurse started to
find him Mrs Magee told her to go to the
Law and Order Office and ask for Flynn, not
Magee.
DR.. Meyer was called, and also testified
that an operation had been performed with
some blunt instrument. The alderman then
held Flynn for court.

WAITING ON THE CITY.

If Diamond Street 10 Widened, tho Opera
House Will be Abandoned-A Big Of
fee Building to be Built by the Cole.
mans in 1894.
The new ordinance said to be in course of
preparation for the widening of Diamond
street was not presented to Councils yester-
day. The claim was made that a petition
was freely signed by owners of property
affected tavoring such a move. Willis +.
McCook, one of the directors of the Cole
man estate, was asked yesterday what dis
position would be made of the Opera House
property.
81 wish THE DISPATCH, or anybody else
would tell us what to do" he said. I'VE
have discussed all sorts of schemes, but can
come to no conclusions Everything de-
pends on what the city will do. If Dia-
House is spoiled, and it will have to come
down. The slice to be taken off the prop
erty will ruin the auditorium, and it can't
be remodeled. If Diamond street is not
widened, the chances are the theater will
remain. Certain it is, that property on
Fifth avenue is too valuable for a theater,
and we wouldn't build another. 1t
doesn't pay. This much has been
decided The building facing Fifth avenue
will be torn down in 1894 when all the
leases expire. On the site large office
building with storerooms below will be
erected. If Diamond street is not widened
a straight entrance, and much better one
than the winding way now, will be made
into the Opera House from the street. This
will push the present entrance up Fifth
avenue.
"a few years ago when the widening OF
Diamond street was first talked OF, MIR.
Miller, one of the directors, had elaborate
plans made to turn the property into
hotel Nobody will deny that another first
class house is needed in Pittsburg,
but we found that to put up the
kind of hotel we wanted, the
building including the ground would
cost 81, 100000. We couldn't get q man In
Pittsburg to assume such a responsibility
in lease, so the hotel scheme was aban-
doned. A hotel will not be erected on the
site. The Coleman estate is held by women,
and none of them could personally manage
a hotel. If there was a male to look after
the business, then we would build first
class house that is so badly needed here.
Mr.. McCook laughed at the fake that the
Colemans only had a ground rent, and that
the lease would expire in few years. They
own the land in fee simple, and their title
is as good as gold. When the building on
Fifth avenue is torn down it will knock
out the Harris Theater.

Important Witnesses in the Maryland Ter
minaI Suit Are A bout to Explain.
W. B. Robb and James Fl. Beal, the corn
missioners in the case of Du Puy against the
Baltimore Terminal Company, pending in
the Maryland Court, yesterday filed petit
tion in Common Pleas No. 2 asking for at
tachments against witnesses for contempt.
Judge White granted rule on A. C. Dravo,
Ross w. Drum and j. NJ. Schoonmaker,
the witnesses named, to show cause why
they should not be attached for contempt of
court in refusing to answer questions put to
them before the commissioners
In the matter of the former petition of the
commissioners to have the witnesses here
compelled to attend the hearings and testify,
an appeal to the Supreme Court from the
ruling OF Judge White in favor of the COM
missioners has been taken. The appeal has
been taken by o. 7. Scaife, one of the re-
luctant witnesses. The rule in the last in
stance was issued in pursuance of the de-
cision of Judge White.

is their only salvation. He claims If the
output of Pennsylvania were reduced to
$4,000 barrels per day that the price would
go up in short time. The Captain states
that the entire production of the country
ought not to be more than from 75, 600 to So
600 barrels daily. At present the Pennsyl-
yania output he says is over loo, 600 barrels
