FIGHTING RAILWAY ORDINANCES
Downtown Councilmen Who Object &c
Too Rapid Transit.

Downtown CounciImen Who Object to
Too Rapid Transit.
1t is claimed that Select Councilman P. J.
Donahue, of the First ward, has decided to
turn reformer and to fight the railway ordi-
nances providing for street cars on Market
street James McHugh, Common Council
man from that ward, and John ]. King,
from the Fourth ward. are also announced
as reformers in connection with this matter.
They all voted against the ordinances in
Councils last Monday, but it is claimed
their opposition is not SO much against the
occupation of Market street as it is to hav-
ing street railway to carry people to and
from the Exposition buildings.
When people must walk to the Exposi-
tion from Market street, as the large major
ity have been heretofore compelled to do, it
means considerable business to various and
numerous small dealers in the First and
Fourth wards. and it is asserted that this
trade of their constituents is what the
COuncilmen from those wards are desrous
of protecting, the belief being that if E1-
position crowds are taken to and from the
buildings in rapid transit cars the local
trade will be lost. There were no new de-
selopments in the street railway matter
Yesterday.

pIATH AND STARVATION.
A Belgian GlassbIower Arrested for Neg
lecting His Family.

Alphonse Culpaced, a Belgian glass;
blower, employed at Jeanette and making
$50 per week, was arrested yesterday by
Special Officer Kelly, of the Southside,
charged with neglecting his family by the
Anti-Cruelty Society. He came to this
country IS months ago, and his wife, her
mother and two children followed about q
year later. The family located Culpaced
and he secured home for them at 2126
Wright's alley, Southside, but has given
them no attention since and only such small
sums of money at long intervals as could be
squeezed from him. As result the family
were nearly starved and almost naked be-
fore the authorities learned of it.
When Agent Mcdonald visited the house
Thursday he found the corpse of Mrs. Gull
paced's mother, who had died last Satur-
day, and the body was in frightful state
of decomposition; the two children were in
bed in an adjoining room because they had
no clothing; there was nothing to eat in the
house, no money for bread, and the woman
had no way of providing for her mothers
interment. CulDaced was informed of the
condition of affairs at home repeatedly, but
had paid no attention to it. When ar
rested he gave bail for a hearing.

ONE REASON SPOILED.

Mayor Kennedy Wants to Know Exactly
Why the Police Magistrate Ordinance
Was Not Presented-It Is Said to Have
Been on the Files
A number of questions are being asked in
Allegheny as to why the Police Magistrate
ordinance did not come up for action Thurs
day night. The explanation made at the
time was that Controller Brown did not
want to take the risk of drawing up the
ordinance himself and wanted to have
City Attorney Elphinstone do it,
but Mr.. Elphinstone was out of town. Mr..
Elphinstone was not out of town, however,
and had stayed Thursday evening at his
Office. Members of Councils knew he was
there. In fact, Clerk White, of Select
Branch, is reported to have said earlier
in the day that the ordinance was printed
and on the Select Council files when Coun-
ellis opened. However, it was not there.
Just what became of it is still question
on the Northside, and when Mayor Kennedy
was seen last night he said it struck him as
being verv queer that the matter had not
come up, and said the explanation did not
satisfy him. Said he: "The Finance Com
mittee acted on the measure and 1t should
have been presented to Councils for action.
1 have been confined to the house all day,
and so have not had chance to find out how
it happened, but intend to find out. l
will 60 to the bottom of this matter before 1
get through"
Another explanation offered yesterday
was that the measure was not properly be-
fore Councils as it had originated in COM
mittee. This is a mistake, however, as it
was presented in the old Councils, but was
not acted on when the old organization
ended. In order to again bring it before
Finance Committee, c. V. Lewis presented
it at the opening session OF the new body.
It has now been afirmatively acted upon
by Finance Committee and ought to have
been presented to Councils Thursday.

FACING DEATH BRAVELY,

City Treasurer Denniston Expects to Un-
dergo a Dangerous Operation.
City Treasurer j. F. Denniston is in New
York consulting DR.. Varney, a surgeon
from London, regarding his chances of sue
cessfully withstanding a surgical operation
on the stump of his crippled leg. The
Major lost his leg at the battle of Ream's
station, Va. 1t was amputated above the
knee, but was improperly done, and ever
since he has suffered more or less from the
exposure of the nerves in the stump. He
expects that it will be necessary TO have two
or three inches taken off, and while realiz-
ing that the operation may have fatal re-
suits, the Major says he is ready to take his
chances of gaining relief If the amputa-
tion is advised by DR. Varney it will be per-
formed in this city.
Major Denniston was wounded in the arm
at the Williamsburg engagement on May 5,
1862, then Captain in General Sickle's
Brigade. After promotion he received his
second wound.

A CHURCH ON WHEELS.

Great Work Done Through the Agency OF
the Baptist Chapel Gar the Pacific
Coast-Trainmen Asked the Minister to
Preach for Them.
A church on wheels is a novelty in these
parts Last evening the chapel car EVAN
GEL" of the Baptist Association, was at the
Union depot bound for Philadelphia Rev.
E. G. Wheeler and his wife were in charge,
and they were going to the convention Of the
church in the Quaker City to report on the
work of the year. The car was presented
to the Publication Society for use on the
Pacific coast by John D. Rockefeller,
Charles L. Colby, Colgate Hoyt, James B.
Colgate and men of that financial caliber
who can afford it, 1t will seat 100 people
and is provided with an organ, buffet and
sleeping and sitting apartments for the
minister and his wife.
While the car was at the station a num-
ber of trainmen examined it in detail. Mrs.
Wheeler, who was preparing supper,
stopped long enough to play few tunes on
the organ. Then the men became enthusi-
astc and asked the preacher to hold SER
vices. He begged to be excused, as he was
hungry. but promised to preach to the boys
some other time.
MIR. w heeler Is very mucn pleaSeQ Win
the results. He has been working on the
Pacific coast for nine months. In that time
he held 500 meetings, had 450 conversions
and organized 10 churches. In each case he
saw that pastor was provided be-
fore he left the town. 81 have
no trouble to draw crowds" he continued.
''The car is packed at every meeting When
1 sIdetrack in a town I hang out a card an
nouncing services and the railroad men
are always ON hand. In making long
journey 1 announce a meeting on the train,
ana the passengers are glad to attend, to
vary the monotony, if for nothing else.
Coming over the Rockies on my way East,
1 had talk with train man, who said he
hadn't been in church for 18 years. He
was very much impressed, and brought in
the cooks and walters from the dining car,
the porters and brakemen. Passengers
Joined the crowd, and in short time our
car was filled. We had very earnest and
most enthusiastic time while the train was
going at full speed. Mrs Wheeler plays
the organ, and you have no idea how it
helps in the service. will recommend the
building of another car to be used east of
the Rocky Mountains.
Mrs Wheeler is sweet-faced lady, and
she plays the organ and leads the singing.
Often she is the only woman present at the
meetings She likes the work and The
rowing life. She also knows how to cook,
for she was preparing a savory supper
while the reporter talked to her. The rail-
road men and visitors who inspected the
car shifted the odor of roast beef, and at
once fell in love with the institution. They
were not surprised that the church on
wheels was a success.

INSPECTING GARBAGE FURNACES.
Mr.. Morse Says Cremation Is the Only Safe
Plan for Inland Cities.


Plan for Inland Cities.
Mayor G. j. Karl and the Board Of
Health, of Columbus, consi sting of Drs. J.
E. Overly, and S. q. Mcbride, D. Kelly, ].
H. Pfeifer and w. A. Mcdonald, are regis
tered at the Anderson. Columbus has de-
cided to burn its garbsge, and the gentle
men were appointed a committee to look
into the merits of garbage furnaces. Yes
terday they examined the furnaces in this
city and Allegheny. They were accom-
panied by W. W. Patrick, the President of
the furnace company. 1t was found that
the dumping scheme is unsatisfactory, as
Colum bus is surrounded with a level coun-
try, and there is no suitable place of de-
posit.
W. F. Morse, of the Engle Sanitary and
Cremation Company, who is plotting the
Columbus Garbage Committee, few days
ago read a paper on the garbage question
before the State Board OF Health at Erie.
1t was published in THE DISPATCH. The
committee, with Mr.. Morse, left for Nor
folk last evening to inspect furnace there.
Mr. Morse saws Cincinnati tried the dump
ing plan and it failed. The garbage kept
rising to the surface of the water,
and there it rotted, filling the
atmosphere with miasna. Mr.. Morse
claims if Pittsburg tries the plan
that in short time the authorities will be
glad to return to cremation. New York
and Boston are two cities where dumping
the garbage works all night. 1t is taken
out to sea from both cities, and in short
time it is devoured by the myrads of fish.
Mr.. Morse says that cremation is the only
safe plan for inland cities. Rendering and
reducing garbage has been tried, but the ref
use is hard to dispose of. He adds that the
furnaces here are overloaded, and that an.
other one costing $4,000 would solve the
garbage problem in Pittsburg.
