At Least Forty Firsmsn to Be Doeksd for
Spending Election Day at tho Polls
There win Not BE So many in She Police
Bureau.
The decision Of Controller Morrow not to
pay city employees for time spent at the
polls on election day will shorten the pay
rolls for February very materially, especial
ly in the Bureaasof Fire. It has been
found that large number of the latter put
in the major portion of the day helping to
swell the vote of their candidates.
chiefs of departments that the head of each
bureau under them must make affidavit that
no man ON their pay rolls was credited with
time for day spent at the polls. The re-
suit has proved surprising, especially in the
Fire Bureau. The exact figure has not yet
been obtained, but ar q rough estimate 40
fremen will lose one days pay for their
great interest in the election. In the Police
Bureau there will not be 30 many, as most
of the officers who appeared at the polls
were there in uniform and on duty, preserv-
ing order.
''My figures are not exact" said Con-
troller Morrow yesterday, "but there will
probable be at least 40 fremen to lose their
pay for election day. How many there are
in the Police Bureau do not know, but
the number is likely much smaller. It is
an old custom to have two or three officers
at each polling place where trouble is ex-
pected. Men assigned to such duty deserve
their nay just as much as on any other day,
and they will get it,
Only one man on Park Superintendent
Meningitis roll will lose his election-day
pay. In the departments where men are
paid by the month instead of by the day the
Controller says he can make no cut.

A plan has been adopted by this commit
tee to organize Prohibition party clubs
throughout the county and obtain the

to vote for prohibition, this being their
share of the 100000 voters to be pledged
to prohibition IN the State. This commit
tee has secured the services of j. H. Mac
Lane as county organizer Mr.. Macl1ane
reported that in the last week he had held
six public meetings, and they had organized
three Prohibition clubs, and had enrolled
1000 names on the ''Million Voters Agree
ment." Arrangements were completed for

GREENE REPUBLICANS MAD.
They Refuse to Send Delegates to the Next
Conversational Convention,


Congressional Convention.
The Greene County Republican Conven-
tion was held in the Court House at Waynes-
burg Yesterday. The county ticket was put
in nomination. Theodore W. Boydston,
of Mt. Morris, was nominated for Assembly,
and Milton Huffman, of Jefferson, for Poor
Director Hon. J. B. Donly was unani-
mously elected delegate to the State Con-
vention. A. P. Dickey, ESQ.,, was elected
Chairman, and DR.. A. B. Miller. Jr., Secre-
tary, of the County Committee for the en-
sizing year. The principal interest centered
irfthe resolutions, and especially in the res
olEtion in relation to the method of nomi-
mating candidates for Congress, elect
ing national delegates and Presidential
electors in the district composed of Greene,
Fayette, Washington and Allegheny
counties.
AS Greene county is allowed five dele
gates out of total of 50 to the nominating
conventions, they condemned the plan as
dangerous. B. F. Downey, r. w. Mum
nell and j. w. Ray were appointed con-
ferees to meet with like number from the
other counties to formulate plan for max
ing Congressional nominations, ETC., and
they were instructed not to consent to any
thing in which the principle of county
equality is not recognized.
Finally they refused to send delegates to
the Congressional convention to be held in
Pittsburg, April 10, and they absolve the
Greene Republicans from supporting the
nominee, whoever he may be.

Interesting Hypnotic Experiments Before =
Number OF Physicians.
Prof Henry De Gray last night gave
an exhibition of hypnotism before number
of physicians and medical students in q
room on Webster avenue, near Grant
street. His subject was w. j. Wright,
whom he placed in a semi-comatose or hyp-
motto trance. His first experiment was to
give him enough ammonia to kill an or
dinary man. without any noticeable effect.
Long surgical needles were then thrust into
the body through sensitive nerves without
any sign of pain. A lighted match was
placed close to the subjects eyes, almost
burning the eyebrows, with similar result.
Then the body was placed with the head
on one chair and the heels on another, and
weight of 1853 pounds was placed on the
abdomen, the body remaining perfectly
rigid. Afterward, three of the heaviest
physicians present sat on the body. Wright
was then brought to by few slaps on the
face and vigorous shaking.

The announcement in the Sunday DIS
PATCH of the marriage Of Miss IdaJ. CLARK,
daughter of DR.. b. h. Clark, one of the

now making preparations to leave is shoen-
berger, Speer B Co., of Fifteenth and Pike
streets, one Of the oldest established con-
Germs in the city. The information was
casually learned yesterday at the City As
SCISSORS office. John z Speer, one of the
firm, was in looking after the assessment on
property he owns in the Fourteenth and
Twenty-second wards
His manner Indicated that he had q poor
opinion Of the Assessors classification rule
and when asked for his opinion he frankly
said So
'I don't think much Of anything that will
increase taxation" he continued, .tand that
is what this classification rule will eventually
come to. High taxation is driving business
people out Of Pittsburg and at the rate
manufacturing concerns have been pulling
out during the past two years there will
soon be but few left.

'The Shoenberger firm, of which I am
member, is making preparations to get out
as soon as possible, simply because we can't
stand the high taxes 1t won't do to say
that the growth of the city demands
