PITTSBURG CORONIAL METHODS
w. G. Bertermann Makes Charges
Against an officer.

The sensational death of Benedict Berter-
manu. of this city, who ten weeks ago was
found dead in the Panhandle Railroad tun-
mel at Pittsburg, threatens to figure yet in
the Pennsylvania courts in a suit for dam
ages against the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company. William G.. Bertermann. brother
of the deceased, has been in Pittsburg for
the last two days, gathering data on the
case. He has turned the coroner's office. the
morgue and the fire department topsy turvy
in his search for data, and a result has
gathered important data, on which he pro-
poses to file a suit against the railroad
company. charging criminal carelessness.
Mr.. Bertermann has been aided in his
search by Pittsburg people, who have all
along been much interested in the strange
death of the young engineer.
II am now" said Mr.. Bertermann to the
Journals Pittsburg correspondent thor
oughly satisfied that there was something
wrong in the speedy manner in which the
Allegheny county officials dismissed my
brothers death. A search through the rec
ords and talk with those who had a hand
in the case convinces me that there are no
grounds for the statement that my brother
was seen in Pittsburg on Sunday, almost
two days after he should have arrived at
the Union Depot. l have had a talk with
the firemen who are said TO have talked
with my brother. have seen the undertake
er, who said the body was warm when
found, almost three days after that train
went into the tunnel. / have looked over
the whole field. and now satisfied that
there were no grounds for the statement
given out by the coroner's office that the
man had remained in Pittsburg and blum
uered into the tunnel on Sunday night. AT
me me proper time can produce witnesses in
Pittsburg who will give some startling test
imony in this case. My brother was un-
deubtedly permitted. through carelessness,
to step on TO the platform of train in a
dark and crooked tunnel, and he fell from
the car. | am now prepared to prove this.

One of the most pleasing of the large
affairs of the week was the concert and
ball Thursday night, which marked the
formal opening of the winter season
by the Arion Society. The cozy club
house on Twentieth street was brilliant
with light, and nearly all the mem
were assembled within it's walls. The
affair opened with a musical pro-
gramme, given by the singing section,
the Opera House orchestra, and vocal
soloists. Whether the numbers are
considered individually or collectively,
they were both artistic and pleasing.
After the concert, the floor of the ball
room was cleared, and the Opera House
orchestra, stationed upon the stage, ex-
ecuted a beautiful waltz selection. The
dancing continued until 2 O'Clock next
morning, with an intermission at mid
night, when the doors Of the dining
hall were thrown open, and an excel
lent supper was served. The concert
and ball was given under the direction
of the Amusement Committee Of the
society, composed of c. A. Schaefer,

fneancient days, when men and maids
Sat in the cozy ingle hooks
They dreamed romantic dreams, or SO,
AT least, we read in story books.
Alas, the stout old hickory logs
From which the sparks, all cracking
flew,
Have given place to gas jets and
The old romance is banished, too.
No more the nodding lover sits
And sees within the leaping flames
Ina ginary castles, or
Bold knights or stately danes,
But he that sits before the log
In these new-fangled, prosy days,
Can only picture to himself
The bills it takes to feed the blaze.

The past week was not filled in with
SO many weddings as were crowded
into the preceding six days, but it was
nevertheless marked by a number of
very pleasing entertainments, and a
continuous round of pleasure was pro-
vided for the devotees. A number OF
affairs had a flavor of charity or re-
ligion, and all of this nature proved
very enjoyable. The theatres were at
fractions for fashionable parties, es-
pially during the Luther entertain
ment. There were few pretentious
balls, but innumerable small affairs.
The horoscope for the coming week re-
veals many affairs which are rich in
promise of brilliancy and pleasure.
