Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1892-08-07

Mr.. King and his bride, nee Zug, are en-
Toying what might be called the continua
ton or the sequel to their honeymoon at
home. They are living at present opposite
Mr.. Zug's house, pre- paratory tohaving an es-
tablishment for themselves in the autumn.
A most painful accident, if it be not the
termination, as is sadly feared, to her earth
ly career, befell on Friday night Miss
Bessie Young, daughter of Ezra p. Young,
Esq, of Sewicklev. She is now lying on what
may be her deathbed as the fearful result
of treading upon a match. All the valley
is plunged in mourning, and truly it can be
said of the heart-stricken parents that they
have not been left to grieve alone, for a
bond of sympathy has united the entire
suburb in one common grieving watch
round the sufferers bedside. In Sewickley
she is spoken of as one of its sweetest
young girls Another winter would have
brought, If not her formal debut, at least
what is equally dear to the school girls
heart, the permission to entertain and be
entertained with the school girls and boys
charming holiday dances and parties.
A school career of certain brilliancy at
acknowledgment last year in gold medal
won for superior work in her favorlte study
Of painting, for which she showed q most
marked ability. Hand in hand with this
was decided taste for literature, which
home influences carefully fostered and
cultivated and adorning these gifts of mind
were those of the heart which so impress
all who know her with sense Of personal
affection In the suffering that has come to
their young friend.
The family Of Mr.. Charles e speer. of
Craft avenue, Oakland, has gone to Bedford
Springs for q sojourn of three weeks
Mr.. Il Kirk Porter, who sailed with his
family some months ago for Europe, has
been in Pittsburg during the past week.
As MI. Porter's intention when he went
away was to visit the continent at some
length, this appearance in town is doubtless
TO be of short duration. None of the ladies
Of his family are with him.
Yesterday Senator William Finn Joined
his family at Bedford Springs
1 have just been debating with myself
the feasibility of school street car There
are school ships for naval cadets, depart
ments at college for the training of would
be journalists, and then why not a car in
which might be trained the young gentle
man whose ambition is bounded by a con-
ductor's horizon. The new departure need
not be run at anyone's expense except that
of the indulgent public. who would
probably be willing to paw q
double fare for the pleasure of observing
the inculcation of some good common sense
rules as well as those of politeness Think
what a saive-E would be to the feelings of
those who have ust seen their dearest
friend drive by, behind Il spanking team, to
have gentle-voiced conductor, hat in hand,
awaiting their leisure and their fare. Street
cars have made lite almost not worth
the living, and conductors aggravated 1t into
a state when it is fit for nothing save dying
Fancy what a godsend would be a man
who knew the streets siong his line, or,
barring that, would let you off at the street
if you knew it yourself without yonr max
ing preparations half an hour beforehand
to attract his attention! Then there are
the conductors who have precocious fancy
that their passengers are Saratoga trunks
to which heels first or head first makes no
practical difference in their internal sys-
tens.
Seriously speaking, there is vast reform
needed, especially on one line, which need
not be specified, because every street car
rider knows l saw conductor Yesterday
afternoon treat q woman entering his car
with baby in her arms in most lima
tured manner. He took her open umbrella.
as she stepped up, and his evident reluc-
tance to give her even that slight assistance
proved that he only did so at her request.
and as she steadied herself in the doorway,

front of her. The woman didn't see the
umbrella, but the conductor dropped it
nevertheless, and only for the timely assist
ance of passenger the unfortunate woman
would have been flung on her face with
doubtless serious resultant injuries to
herself and her child. The cause of it all
stood back on the platform with his arms
folded and soft whistle of contentment
issuing from his lips The woman sat the
entire way in with flush of anger on her
cheek, and indeed she would have been
justified in reprimanding the conductor
most severely for his inhuman conduct,
Only last week a similar complaint was
made In The DISPATCH concerning this

There are great many thoughtful and
gentlemanly fellows in the street car service
in whose cars it is q pleasure to ride.
Mrs Schenley, OF London and Pittsburg,
is to be immortalized in stone. The CRATE
ful daughters of the Revolution have got up
gentle agitation for a statue of Pittsburr's
benefactors, to be erected in the park. and
for which the purse strings of the daughters
are TO be literally loosened. The idea is a
very good one, and in view of Mrs. Scben-
lev's probable gift of the blockhouse. would
really seem not only to be a graceful re-
cognition of a broad minded and liberal
woman, but an honorable attempt to
balance an account
Mrs. Edward Bosworth, of Hudson, o.,
