Iegheny for Competent Help.

PITTSBURG, Nov. 3O.-Burgess William
Kennedy, of Butler, called on Mayor Hayes.
of Pittsburg, and Mayor Wyman, of Allie
gbeny, to-day. and explained that Buffers
typhoid fever epidemic was far beyond
the power of Buffers citizens to cope with.
He said that, instead of 1,500 cases, the
number would to his own knowledge exceed
1sO0 In Butler and surrounding townships.
He said responses to appeals for aid were
gratifying. and sufficient funds were on
hand for present needs. but more would be
required before the disease could be
stamped out. Trained nurses, physicians
and domestic help are especially needed.
Both cities will give all the aid possible.

second time, she apparently tainted sew
eral times. making the police believe she
had been badly hurt. She told the police
that possibly she might reveal the man $
name by night, but several men worked
on the case all night. Yesterday afternoon
DR.. Wright, the police surgeon, came down
to the station to redress the wound, and,
upon removing the plaster which had been
placed the wound the day before, not
even scratch could be found.
At first the doctor was not believed, but
after the superintendent and several other
doctors had examined the place where she
claimed to have been stabbed it was finally
given out officially that there was posi-
lively not a scratch to be found. Pearl
still claimed that she had been stabbed, and
stated that she could prove it by her
mother. On investigation 1t was found out
that Pearl was a confirmed dope fiend,'
and that the stabbing had simply been an
illusion of hers while under the influence
of some drug.
