SEWERS BY DAY LABOR.

The Street Committee Decides on This
Pian-The Horses and Buggies-Moody.
The Council Committee on Streets held
regular meeting in the new City Hall
last evening, there being present Messrs.
Curtis (chairman), Allen, Bahen, Carter.
Brauer, Gray, Stratton, Thomas. and
Turpin. Mr.. Allen wanted expunged from
the record the matter with reference to
the defeated motion OF Chairman Curtis
at the recent meeting Of the committee.
by which the city sewer work would
have been given out by day labor. The
proposition was opposed by Mr. Turpin
and Mr.. Allen withdrew his motion.
City-Attorney Meredith was on hand
to explain the authority OF the commit
tee for providing the City Engineer and
his assistants with necessary horses and
buggies. Mr.. Meredith said the only
measure that could be construed to give
such power was section . of chapter 3s
OF the City Ordinances. authorizing the
providing OF such mules. horses, carts,
&C., and employing such hands as are
necessary 10 carry on the work Of the
Street Department. Taking the original
purpose OF the ordinance into considera-
tion. the City Attorney felt that he could
not hold that this gave the committee
the power that It had exercised for the
past fiftcen or eighteen years. In 1863
Mr.. Meredith said. the Council passed a
special appropriation to procure horse
and buggy for the City Engineer. but In
this nothing was said about the mainte-
nance OF the team. Mr.. Meredith con-
cluded that the committee. in furnishing
horses and buggies for the City En-
gineer and his assistants had only fol-
lowed . precedent established some
eighteen years ago.

TRAGEDY IN PlTTSBURC.
4 Base-BaIIist Dead and an Actress Proba-
bly, Fatally Wounded.

PITTSBURG, PA, February ga ter
rlble tragedy was enacted at the Hotel
Eiffel, sos smithield street. at $50 o'clock
tonight, from which Pitcher McNabb.
Of the Baltimore club, IS dead. and
Louise Kellogg will likely die from the
result OF wounds received from a pistol
in the hands OF McNabb.
Louise Kellogg was a member Of the
Alvin Joslyn theatrical company, and
came here from New York today. size
met McNabb a short time before $50
o'clock on Fifth avenue tonight, and
they both went TO the Hotel 3ilfei. where
room was engaged. A yolns man
named Gillen, a friend OF both McNabb's
and the Kellogg woman's, went Up 70
their room about $50 to call on III am.
He heard the woman groaning AN caUet
for help As il is right across from the
City Hall, Inspector Mckelvy ana sew
eral officers were soon on the scene. 'the
door was burst open, and olooiY sisht
met their gaze. On the hoor nv 'he
woman wi'h three bullet wounis III 'mr
lead and neck. McNabb was lying besiie
her with ,wo shots through the nead'
that killed him almost instantly. the
woman was taken TO the homeopathic
hospital. She can hardly recover. Nc
Nabb's body was removed to the morgue.
There was a fire few doors above the
hotel at the time McNabb did the shoot-
ing This caused much excitement In the
vicinity, and the hotel people did not
even hear the shots fired. McNabb EVIL
IDENTIFY meant murder when he went 10
the room, Since he was only there
short time before he did the shooting.
Louise Kellogg's right name Is Mrs. Il;
r. Rockwell. and she has a husband
living at Seattle, Washington. hehoss
was her stage name. Her parents hve
at Braddock. near this city. Unless sne
regains consciousness the cause Of the
shooting may never be known.

iron-ore be changed from the free 10
the dutiable list. and on a yea-and-nny
vote this proposition was defeated by a
vote of 10 to H. The bill II again in the
hands OF the Democrats OF the Finance
Committee, and an effort wiz be made
to have 1t repaired In time to be laid
before the full Committee on Finance by
Saturday. or. at latest, Monday morn
ing. There will probably not be another
caucus. but In order TO provide for emer-
gencies Mr.. German has been given au-
thority to issue call II he thinks II best.
Mr.. German was questioned closely by
n number OF senator's. and in response
said 1t was apparent that some conces-
sion must be made Referring to the In
come-tax. Mr.. German expressed his Bit
ter opposition 10 that tax. 1t was, he
said. undemocratic and against the Demo
cratic idea. He hoped II would be
stricken from the bill. but IL II was not,
he said he would. as he expressed 1t,
Swallow the dose" but assured his col
leagues that IL would be the 'bitterest
dose he had yet been compelled To take.
Mr.. Pugh made a speech favoring
duty on iron-ore and foretold what would
occur to the new industry in Alabama
II this were left on the free list. Mr..
Pugh went further than the others seiia-
TORS, ana insisted tndt some cNPttSSioh bS
had on this proposition. Accordingly he
moved that the committee be directed 10
put iron-ore on the dutiable list, THE
same as coal" which was accepted to
mean fifty cents a ton.
on yea and nay vote this was defeated
by vote of 10 to II, Mr.. Hill not voting
MIR. Pugh then said that inasmuch as
the vote was so close and some senators
were absent he did not feel bound by
the vote, and reserved the right to otter
an amendment to the bill when 1t came
into the Senate.
Contrary 10 general report. whlskey mas
been mentioned only in the most inciden-
tai manner, and no action suggested In
any way. The internal-reyenue features
OF the bill have been apparently lost sight
Of. The consensus of opinion among sena-
tors appears to be that whiskey may get
an additional 10 cents without any extern
sion OF the bonded period. There Is a
very strong belief that the bill when re-
ported will have sugar on the dutiable
list at eight tenths of cent a.pound for
all sugar up to 50 degrees by the polari-
scopic test, and one one-hundredth OF a
cent. for each additional degree. This Is the
original proposition submitted by the
committee. but the big fight was over the
addition wanted on refined sugar. The
explanation was made to-day that under
this duty the reflner would get between
one tenth and one eighth OF cent the
best OF It,
