PITTSBURGH, P4 May 1.-THE Times
prints dispatches from all points in
western Pennsyf vania, eastern Ohio
and West Virginia, on the business
situation. Thes@ dispatches show that
business is booming at every point heard
from and that confidence in the
future seems fully restored. Not since
the spring of 1898 has such activity
been noticed. The revival is not CON
fined to any one line of industry, but
all classes OF: manufacture and
trade feel the good effects. Old
works that have been idle for
two years or faore are resuming
plants that have been operating on
part time have increased working
forces, and numerous firms have adj
vanced the price of labor. In the vicin-
ity of Pittsbure h alone over 10000
workmen received an advance in wages

FOR H4BEAs CORP US.

The Application of Walter Scott Heard by
 Judge Wheeler Saturday-Thrasher' 8
 League Defense.
 Judge Wheelr of the superior court heard Saturday morning the applica- ton for habeas corpus submitted by Walter Scott, proprietor of the Waver- ly hotel in Cheshire, who was committed to jail on a mittimus by Justice Beadle of Cheshire, after refusing to pay fine imposed for illegal liquor selling. After imposing the fine the justice allowed Scott to go free for ten days without
 paying the fine before issuing the mittimus. Scott's attorneys claim that the justice had no jurisdiction after per. hitting Scott to go free for ten days and also that one of the mittimuses issued was defective.
 Messrs. Terry and Bronson of Water. bury have been retained to assist E. F Arvine in defending s. P. Thrasher ir the libel suit which was brought against him by Walter Scott of Cheshire, 1T which he claimed S10,000 damages fol injury to his hotel by reason of state ments caused to be printed by MT Thrasher.

His Illustrated Lecture Upon Amateur
 BalIooning Completed.
 Quite a party of New Haven peo- pie will drive to Orange tomorrow evening to attend Captain D. s. Thomas balloon lecture at the Congre- gational church. MT. Thomas now has lall of his stereopticon views completed, making some forty illustrations of the more important incidents in his career as an amateur aeronaut. MT. Thomas has always maintained that the only really foolhardy balloon ascension he ever made was from Bridgeport, Oc- tober 3, 1876. It was a very windy day and after being driven over to Long Island at a high altitude, the balloon took a course directly over the mouth of New Haven harbor, passing over Providence, R. l., at p. m., and landing about dark at Rockland, Ply mouth county. Mass. The time oc- cupied on the trip was seven hours the distance traveled was over 15C miles. MT. Thomas has now completed five of the more thrilling incidents of this trip, which, when thrown upon canvas. gives a vivid description of what a mammoth balloon is capable of doing in a wind storm.

Forms of Settlement of the Colt Case--A
 Divorce Will be Granted for the Most
 Trivial Causes Recognized.
 Providence, R. l., Dec. 1.--The final adjustment of the Colt divorce case and | the Colt-Van Alen suit for $20O,O0o dam ages for the alienation of Mrs. Colts affections was begun in the appellate division of the supreme court yesterday morning.
 The first matter on the docket for the day was the hearing on the petition of Colonel Samuel Pomeroy Colt for com missioners to take evidence in Geneva and Paris, in Europe, and half dozen places in this country, These affida- wits were nominally to be made use of in answering Mrs, Colts petition for di- vorce, but actually they were to figure in the Van Alen case.
 Acting upon the agreement entered into at the New York conference of the friends of all the parties concerned, that there should be a truce declared and all hostillties suspended pending the draw ing of the lines upon which a final ad- justment should be made, the applica- i tion for the commissioners above refer red to was, with the consent of counsel for Colonel Colt, ordered stricken from the docket.
 Mrs. Colts petition, similar in it's na- ture, but not of so great scope, had been acted upon judicially, and had proved ahortive, as the fiasco at North Con- way showed, and, as it had ceased to be of any weight, there was nothing done with it.
 There will be one more meeting in New York about the middle of this week, at which the affair will be closed.
 The final settlement will be practical ly the concession of moderate annui- ty to Mrs. Colt, the homestead at Bris- tol,which she and the children will have the free use of, and which, in the end, will go to her grandchildren, and sep aration upon the most trivial grounds allowed by the laws of this state, name 1 ly. assertion, or a continuous separa- l ton for five years.

Dr. Parkhurst Announces This Intention oi tho Vigilance League Police Efficiency tr,a Raasnn tN eH

tho yigilance League Police Efficiency
 the Reason. H&
 New York, Dec. 1.--It was announced yesterday by the Rev. Dr. Charles H. Parkhurst that henceforth the City Vigilance league will largely suspend it's detective work. The reason given for the change is the increased effi- cheney of the police. The only branch of f.the work which it is planned to keep up is on excise cases, and even in this branch efforts will gradually be stop Fped
 This decision was reached about three weeks ago, and the announcement by Mfr Dwight of his plan of ridding the
 ''Tenderloin" precinct of disreputable women was made without any knowl- edge on his part of the action of the league. He has signified his intention of withdrawing from his plan. Dr. Parkhurst said, in speaking of the
 matter, that the police captains were now doing all in their power to aid his society Where formerly their greatest obstacle was the police, now the police are their chief aid.
 Under such oircums tances, he said, the employment of a private detective force was superfiuous. There was no work for them to do which the police 1 were not willing to do, and. as it was their duty, the society felt bound to let them do 1t.
 Dr. Parkhurst complimented the po- l lice force highly. The change in their 1 efficiency under the new board he char
 acterized as marvellous The inten- 1 tion of the society now, he said, was to 1 do Constructive, not destructive,
 work" Its energies will be devoted to advancing ideas of good govern ment
 1 It is also planned that in the future
 the funds turned into the society for detective work shall be placed at the
 disposal of the police, to aid them in
 secret work.
