A BIG MONTHS WORK.

Coroner Mcdowell Disposes of so Cases
During October-Among Them Are
Some of the Most Remarkable and
Unique He Ever Dealt With.
October was a remarkable month in the
Coroner's Office. There were 80 cases dis
posed of, and in that number there were
several of the most novel Coroner Mellow
ell ever had to deal with. Not few of
them were extremely sad. while as a whole
they kept the Coroner and his corps of as
sistants busy.
The cases cover greater number of
causes than usual, and violent deaths were
more plentiful than in past months They
are as follows: Homicides, 8; suicides, 4,
street car accidents, 8; death from elevators
in manufactures, 8; asphy1ia, Q; electro
cution, l; death in coal mines, 2; children
burned, 2; lamp explosion, 1; accidental
poisoning, 8; drowned, 1; railroads, 10; ac-
cidental, Is; heart failure, /; by falling
down stairs, 2; death in prisons, 8. -Four of
the 30 persons were never identified.
There were three other cases in October,
but they were held over until November.
The three deaths from elevators in manu-
factories is q new thing for the Coroner to
deal with. In each case he found that the
death was due to carelessness on the part of
the employer. He also found that the State
factory law did not cover the cases. Coroner
Mcdowell found his hardest work in the
Dell murder. He worked for a week on it
and heard 81 witnesses. While the
guilty party was never arrested,
the work he did on the case
he thinks will yet bear fruit. The
Central Traction Company accident also
made considerable work The stabbing of
young Stivison by Stuart Rodgers, a 10
year-old hoy. was case of more than usual
sadness The most unique accident in the
history of Coroner McDowell's service vas
the death of Frank Carmaux, who was car
ried from Sheridan to Pittsburg on the pilot
of the cannon ball express. The suicide of
Marx, the McKeesport merchant; Julia
Rice, who was drowned while boat riding in
the Ohio, and the suffocation of j. j.
Shaffer and Richard Johnston in a White
Ash coal mine, all furnished interesting
cases. Anton Schuab was the cause OF an
interesting inquest. By mistake he drank
oarbolic acid for whisky and death followed
shortly.
The list of unknown grows larger each
month. Ad. Brush, one of the Coroner's
clerks, has way OF remedying this His
idea is to have the Legislature pass law
every man and woman to carry
their name and address

JOBES IS HOPEFUL.
The Independent Believes He Will Be
Elected to Congress.
VOTES FROM ALLEGHENY COUNTY.
He Considers Acheson's Political Methods as
Cnrighte0us.
NOT IN LEAGUE WITH THE DEMOCRATS.

Rev. Campbell Jobes, the Independent
Republican candidate for Congress in the
Twenty-fourth district, put up at the Mo-
nongahela House last evening. He intends
to confne himself to Allegheny and Fay
cite counties for the balance of the cam
paign.
Speaking of his prospects he said:
George Lawrence says have been running
a church campaign. Well, little religion
and less whisky wouldn't hurt nv friends
canvass for the Legislature. 1 have been
accused also of forming coalition with Mr.
Sipe. That is not true. am not in this
fight to aid Democrat, or to defeat Mr..
Acheson. The people I represent are
opposed to Mr.. Acheson's political methods
I regard them as unrighteous. 1t is ques-
tion whether Congressman are to be named
by the people or the bosses. believe in
the old and popular way.
81 protest against the wav in which he
was nominated. The Congressional pri-
maries were held in April, while the other
officers were nominated in June. 1t is the
first time on record when two primaries
were held in Washington county, one for
the Congressman and the other for the bal
ance OF the ticket 1 have no objection to
representation based on the vote of the dis
trict if the county lines are wiped out, but
it is most unjust with the county organiza-
tions maintained. Allegheny, Fayette,
and Washington counties are nearly equally
divided and can take care of themselves,
but poor little Greene is at their mercy.
This is not the fault of Greene county.
II am very we'll satisfied with my can
vass and think Twill be elected. have
been in Allegheny county good deal and
just came from MeKeesport. 1t was
claimed wouldn't get vote in Allegheny,
but some people will find they are badly
mistaken. I will have a number of votes
from this county. My work in Greene is
done, and that section couldn't be put into
better shape. L hear of Democratic dis
affection here and there. Some of the
Democrats say they dor't like Mr.. Sipe,
but 1 don't think he will be cut very much.
I expect considerable support from Fayette
This is peculiar contest, and it is hard to
figure out who will win. There are six
candidates including Mr.. Williamson, the
Prohibitionist, and Mr. Aiken, the Popu-
lite, from Washington. I find that Mr.
Williamson is very popular, and will get a
great many votes from that town; so also
lIr Aiken I am told is strong in WASH
ington."

What Cincinnati Has Secured.
have read the report of an association Of
this kind organized in connection with the
Chamber of Commerce of the city OF Gin
cinnati. 1t has been in operation only about
two wears, but has already accomplished
important results, and its good work has
only begun. The details of the organization
can be left to the Committee OIL 1ransporta-
ton OF this Chamber, but believe that the
matter is important enough and urgent
enough to Justify you in instructing them to
tax the matter in hand at once. l have
conferred with many of the representatives
of all classes in business on the subject, and
find among them but one opinion, and 1
think am safe in promising that there will
be no lack OF financial aid If the project is
once fairly started.

Committee on transportation and Rail-

Chamber take action upon the subject of
giving Board of Health officers police juris-
diction over drainage areas of Pennsylvania
from which water supplies are taken, and
to protect the waterways from pollution,
this action being called for by the threat
