jhief Bigelow Discusses the
Effect of Widening
Diamond Street.
EXPECTS SPEEDY ACTION.
Mayor Gourley to Sinn the Petition
for the Improvement to
PREVENT A CHANGE IN THE PLANS.
Bis Honor Pleased With Chief Elliot's
Course in Letting
TOE CONTRACT FOR A NEW POOR FARM
EHQIHE8 GIVIHQOOX
Chief Bijrelow yesterday predicted that
in less than a year Diamond street will
nave been widened, paved and opened np
for the great business houses which will
naturally seek such an excellent location.
M the next meeting of Councils the
Chiel will introduce a petition containing
the signatures ot a majority of property
holders in number and interest asking for
the improvement. Accompanying the peti
tion will be an ordinance authorizing it to
be' carried out. The Chief says the neces
sary majority was secured months ago, but
the matter has been delayed in order to get
more signatures, which has been done.
Relative to the resolution authoiizing the
Mayor to sign the petition in behalf of the
city Mr. Bigelow savs its only object is to
pnanl against a change in the plans by a
possible change in the municipal adminis
tration. Will Prevent a Change of Plans.
The effect of the city's becoming a pe
titioner will not afiect her liability for
damages or expense of the improvement one
cent either way. Such a thing as the city
becoming liable for the expense was not
thought of by the trainers of the resolution
and Mr. Bicelow says it would be impos
sible. "The enhancement of values on Diamond
street," said he, "will justity every man on
the street in paying his share of the dam
ages. When the matter was first talked of,
three years ago, Diamond street property
was worth only 5500 a foot The natural in
crease since then would make It worth
about 51,000, but in view of this improve
ment it is worth more than twice that.
Make it a 50-foot street and it will demand
4,000 a foot at least Fifth avenue prop
erty on the same blocks is worth
56,000. On Fourth avenue, only 40 feet
wide, it is worth from 53,000 to 54,000.
Those are market figures. Why should an
owner not be willing to accept such a nand
some increase to his wealth? No improve
ment ever made in this city has added so
much to the Talue of abutting property as
this will.
Two Tears Slake a Difference
"The damages will not be nearly as heavy
as they would have been two years ago.
Jj?ases then wonh many thousands which
ifould have to be assessed have since ex
pired or will expire shortly and that money
is saved. Those leases made since are sub
ject to the improvement and will cost noth
ing. At the market house, for instance, all
the stalls on the line of the Improvement
have been leased subject to the opening of
the street, and the holders cannot claim a
cent df damages. This would have been a
coniarhie item three years ago. Men
who were kicking-'anor "grnmbliag became
they, were compelled to pay the city 8100 a
vear'for rent of their stalls went before the
Board of Viewers then and swore their
business amounted to 5125,000 a year, one
third of which was profit, and demanded
damages in that amount lor the two years
their leases were to run. It is different
sow, not only in the market, but all along
the street
"The plans have been changed, too. The
arcade through the market will not aSect
the second floor as at first intended. We
will have 18 or 19 feet clear above the
street, and that will be enough to comply
with the law.
Some Contemplated Improvements.
"Elevators will be put in both buildings,
Old City Hall and the Duquesne Grays'
armory will be filled with stalls, and a
glsse-covered bridge will span Market
'street, connecting the second floors of the
two buildings. Instead of ruining the mar
ked, the improvement will double its im
portance and availability."
Mayor Gourley had not examined the
( resolution last night, but said he would
give it careful attention in a few days. At
first glance he could Bee no good reason why
be should not sign it His Honor yesterday
approved the resolution awarding the
contract for the new Poor Farm build
ings to a A. Balph at 535J,000. In
speaking of it he said: "It affords me
pleasure to say that Chief Elliot has been
the first chief of department to award a
contract by resolution of Councils since I
nave been Mayor. Thi is as it should be,
as I am satisfied the decision ot the suit now
in court will establish, and Mr. Elliot was
right to take no chances in having the con
struction of his buildings delayed. I think
the contract is all right and the figures
reasonable."
Bad Water Bulning Locomotive Boiler on
the B. & O. and Pemlcky Roads.
In connection with the statement of
President Mayer, of the B. & O. Bailroad1,
to a delegation of coal men from Pittsburg,
that the use of Youghiogheny river water
had so injured the company's locomptivts
as to seriously cripple their business, it
may be stated that two locomotives on the
Pemickey road have been rendered unfit
for service from this cause during thepast
48 hours, This isn't the worst of it Word
came yesterday from Scott Ha7en, on the
same road, that three engines had given out
there. On this line.as on others,the freight
traffic could not be properly handled with
the entire equipment of the road working
to its full capacity, and the crippling of so
many engines at once puts the road in" bad
shape.
Last night several B. & O. engineers said
they were running with locomotives that
are in bad shape and rapidly getting worse.
The only permanent relief is in the comple
tion of Superintendent Holbrook's spring
water scheme, as the other engineers say
that the "Yongh" river water has been
steadily growing worse from year to year,
and in the nature of things will continue to
do so until it is unfit for use except at the
height of floods in the spring and fall.
HIS IBIP P0STP0HED.
Jim Boss Captured on the Eve of His De
parture for Italy.
John Lynd entered suit before Alderman
Kerr yesterday, charging Jim Boss with
false pretense. Lynd is a manager for the
Philadelphia Gas Company, and employed
Boss, who was known as No. SO. Boss quit
work on the last day of August On Octo
ber 31 he put in his name and got another
month's pay, although he had not worked.
A warrant was issued and Constable James
James went to Boss' home in Bloomfield
and found him with a packed satchel ready
to start away. He had a ticket to New
York and a passage to Italy. When he
learned the officer's business he jumped out
of a window and made a desperate effort to
escane, but he was recaptured after a short
chase. On the way to the Alderman's of
fice he made another attempt to escape, and
drew a kuife, which was taken from him,
and then he went along quietly. At the
Alderman's office Boss returned the money
and paid the costs and the suit was withdrawn.
NEW MEN AT THE HELM

The inauguration of the new officers of
the Amalgamated Association of Iron and
Steel Workers yesterday was an event of
particular interest to wage earners through
out the country. It marks the successful
continuance "of an organization, including
the representative iron and steel workers
in all parts of the land.
The officers installed were the President
and Secretary with their staff of assistants.
The inauguration ceremony was very brief
and was conducted by Vice President W.
A Carney, who instructed the new officers
as to their duties, and received bonds from
them on behalf of the trustees of the asso
ciation. The leading officials of the order
were present, and it was a very pleasant
gathering.1 The Executive Board bad
audited the accounts, and the conduct of
ing the Twenty-ninth and Thirty-third
street mills since the strike began have
been discharged. The management feel that
the mills are now running successfully, and
apprehend no further trouble. Only one of
the 30 officers is on guard and he is at the
main entrance to the upper mill.
HOTEL HEN KICKIKG
Against a Proposition to Suppress Their
Billiard Booms.
Proprietors of all the first-class downtown
hotels are exerting their influence to secure
an amendment or the defeat of Chief
Brown's poolroom ordinance. The bill
passed Select Council three weeks ago but
was postponed last Monday by Common
Councilman Thorn in that branch. It re
quires that all pool and billiard rooms
shall be licensed by the police bureau, but
absolutely prohibits a hotel or saloon keeper
the privilege of a license. It is argued that
in so far as it affects the ordinary pool
rooms, where so many boys take their first
step toward the bad, the ordinance is all
right, but as to the respectable hotels who
maintain billiard tables for the use of their
guests and exclude minors it is an injustice.
A number of Councilmen have already
promised to assist in amending or defeating
the bill as it now. stands.
IK A TEKKIBLE CONDITION.
A Nest of Russian Hebrews Found In a
House on Penn Avenue.
Superintendent Baker, of the Bureau of
Health, yesterday found a house at No.

EIVER STRIKE STILL ON.
The Miners Hold Oat but the Operators
Hope to Win Coal Held in the South
ern Markets More Firms to Be Prose
cuted. The Coal Exchange held a meeting in the
Iron Exchange building yesterday. The
meeting was well attended, and much
interest was taken in the proceedings The
reports from the river miners were gener
ally favorable to the operators, though the
miners still refused to return at the re
duced rates. The opinion prevails among
the operators that it is only the matter of a
short time when the mines will be in oper
ation on the same terms as the railroads.
The report of a rise in the price of coal
at Cincinnati is causing the operators some
uneasiness, as each reported rise only
tends to prolong the strike and make
the miners more determined in their stand.
While there is considerable coal in the
Southern markets held by Pittsburg firms
they are generally holding it for better
prices, while some few are holding it up
with the expectation of a long shutdown in
the mines. Barge water is not expected
for some time, so that should the supply be
exhausted the Southern markets would
have to be supplied by the railroads.
"John F. Walton & Co. have about 15
barges of coal at New Orleans," said Cap
tain I.N.Bunton, "and have given orders to
sell at 8 cents a bushel. No matter what
the market is they will sell at that. The
reports from the pools indicate an early
settlement of the strike, but I am not both
ering myself much about it just at
present"
The report that the Eclipse mines in the
fourth pool had started up at the reduced
rate is not believed by many of the river
operators. They have had nothing to con
vince them that a start has been made as in
that case a general break among the strik
ers would likely result and the operators
are slow to accept the report
Secretary Tilly is securing evidence
against a number of manufacturing firms
along the river' which are violating the law
as to filling up the channel. He has
been spending much of his time along the
river and will soon make Information
against a nnmber of firms. The Exchange
has taken up this crusade in earnest

who were at Baltimore to confer with the
officials of the Baltimore and Ohio Kail
road, have returned. They report having
bad a successful conference with the
officials, who promised to do everything in
their power to supply cars for the coal
traffic.
u.he reason given for the present car
famine was the scarcity of water. The
tiater used was of a poor quality "and was
playing bavoo with many of tne locomo
tives so that an unusual number were in the
shops lor repairs. The freight equipment
of tne road was said to have been increased
fully 30 per cent during the past year, but
the trade had inereased even more ' so that
