TUBES READY ON TIME
Pennsylvania Trains to Use New York
Tunnels Next Summer.

Philadelphia, Aug. II. The New
York tunnels of the Pennsylvania will
be completed and ready for operation
next summer, as scheduled, probably
by July 1, unless the progress of the
work permits earlier opening. The
work is going forward as planned, and
most of It Is somewhat ahead of the
time allotted.
The cost of the tunnel work has so
far been over $40, 600, 900, and the ap-
proximate estimate of a total expendi-
ture OF 800. 900, 900 may be slightly ex-
ceeded. Actually SAL, 900. 900 has been
paid out of income and profit and loss.
So far no lien or mortgage has been
put on the property, and there is not
likely to be. as the company now sees
its way clear. as the money for the
gross expenditures has been provided;
and after this year but a small amount,
compared with previous annual ex.
penditures. will be required.

Too Many Trombones.

The following anecdOte concerning
Donlzettl and the score of ltossinfs
"OtellO" is told by the Musical World:
Donizetti had asked Sigismondi, the
director of the Naples Conservatorie
to look ever the score with him, anc
the two sat down ut Il table with the
work in front of them. Presently 81
Slsmondi began to rave about its mon
strous orchestration." Terrible was
his indignation when he found that
clarinets, bassoons and trombones had
been employed In II place to swell a
crescendo, but when the fortissimO
was reached he uttered Il cry of de.
spalr, struck the score violently with
his fist, upset the table and rushed
from the room, exclaiming: "A hundred
and twenty-three trombones! A hun.
dred and twenty-three trombones!'
Donlzetti In vain tried to call him
back, shouting after him, "Not 12a
trombOnes, but first, second and third
trombones." Slgismondi would not
listen and when last seen was still
repeating, "A hundred and twenty
three trombOnes!"

LeIbaueh Of Chicago May Be Relative

Pittsburg, Aug. II. - Relatives Of
Peter Leibauch, the Northside miser
who was sent to the Allegheny City

discovered that his house in Madison
avenue was literally lined with money,
are beginning to show up. Last night
a letter directed to Police Superinten-

Dear Sir--Peter Leibauch, l think, is
my fathers brother, My father had
two brothers living in Pittsburg, Allie
gheny, but we have lost all trace Of
them since about 1868.
Would you please ask Peter Lei
bauch II he had a brother by the name

fathers name. My father came TO
this country In 1853. Kindly investi'
gate the matter and let me know at
you earliest convenience.

Inasmuch as passports found in Lei
bauch's hovel showed that his parents
came from Germany In 1853, the pc.
lice are inclined to believe that the
Chicago man is really the miser's
nephew. An investigation will be
