IT LEADS THEM TO HYMEN'S ALTAR
Bids for the contract for supplying the
city with two new fire engines,
a chemical engine, a hose reel and
a hose carriage were opened by Chief
Brown yesterday, but the contracts will not
be awarded for a week or more. A few
minutes before 2 o'clock, when the time for
receiving bids expired, several proposals
were handed in. Previously the manufac
turers of the Amoskeag engine hai been the
only bidders.
A syndicate known as the American Fire
Engine Company, which controls the manu
facture ot the Silsby, Button, Ahrcns and
Clapp & Jones engines, bid on the two last
named styles. For furnishing two Clapp &
Jones engines, first size and first-clas, ac
cording to specifications, the bid was 58,150.
The bid on two of the Ahrens make was
J9,300. The Manchester Locomotive Com
pany put in three bids on Amoskeag engines,
classifying them according to finish. The
first bid was ?3,500 each, or $7,000 for two;
the second J4.000 each or ?8,000 ior two; and
the third $4,750 each or 59,500 for two.
T..e Manchester Company bid 51,100 each
on hoe reels, while J. G. Weir & Sons bid
fl,040. Several firms bid on chemical en
gines. The Chicago Fire Extinguisher Com
pany offered the Babcock or the Champion
engine at 51,700 each, or three for 55,000.
The Muskegon Company's offer was 51,900
per engine, the Holloway Company 51,700
each, and the Mahan-La Green Company
51,500 each. Logan, Gregg & Co. bid 5600
on hose wagon, and J. G. Weir & Sons
544a
When all the bids had been opened and
read Chief Brown announced to the audi
ence, composed of all the chiefs of the fire
department, representatives of the bidders
and reporters, that he would refer the selec
tion of the apparatus to Chief Engineer
Humphries, but was willing to give a hear
ing at once to any of the bidders. The
agent of the Amoskeag engine was present,
but had nothing to say. Agent Whipple,
for the Ahrens and Clapp & Jones engines,
presented photographs, drawings and litera
ture showing that either ot his engines were
the best in the market Mr. Whipple de
clares that Chicago has 50 Clapp & Jones
engines; St Louis has 36 and has ordered
six more.
Wants to Get a Foothold.
A number of improvements have been
made in this engine in the past year which
Mr. Whipple said has removed the only ob
jections which could be made against it
"Our company is anxious to get a foothold
in Pittsburg," s&id he, "and if wecetyoW
order we will give yon the hnest engine is
the country. We made no distinction ai
to finish, I am sorry to say, inthe bids pre
sented, our proposal being foV the best pos
Eible finish and best machine.
The agents for the various chemical en
gines also presented their claims. Tw'o
agents representing the Champion engine
talked for it strong, saying it was the latest,
best, and could be handled with one man
less than any other mate. "Our engine is
practically a soda fountain," he said. "The
liquid tank is made of Pittsburg steel, of
the best quality and is tested tor several
times the pressure it will ever have to
stand. The water chemicals are put in
together, and when put to work the tank is
turned entirely over, insuring a thorough
mixture of the chemicals and the best
results."
The agent for the Holloway Companv
stated that the tank of his engine was made
of copper, tested for 350 Bounds pressure,
and could be put into action the instant it
reached a fire without previous preparation.
A patent agitator keeps the chemicals
thoroughly mixed up. It is the kind used
by the Pennsylvania Bailroad, and, the
agent claims, superior to any in the market
Talking Tor His Engine.
The agent for the Muskegon engine said
the chemical preparation his companv used
vas patented. It was different from all
oiners oecause u generated the gas
by which flame is extinguished
when the stream strikes the fire.
By opening up the competition so as to
allow all upright piston engines to enter
into the competition the city is in a posi
tion to save considerable on the purchase.
Yesterday's bids on fire engines are the
lowest ever made here, though it is claimed
lower figures have recently been offered to
other cities by those who b:d yesterday.
K. E. SafforJ. who has the name of being
well osted on the subject, declares that
the Amoskeag Company last week offered
its best make of engine to Boston for 54,125
end that the American Company at the same
time offered its best make of Clapp & Jones
engine for 53,000. Three years ago two
Amoskeag engines were purchased for this
city, the contract price being 55,000 each.
A dispute over the matter arose, the matter
was taken to court and is still there, and
the city has not vet paid for the engines
owing to a restraining injunction issued by
tne court

In an instant both men were surrounded by

portions as they went along. Their passage
became more difficult every moment, as the
gathering multitude swarmed toward the
crowd to find out what was the matter.
Passing the Eden Musee fully 2,000 per

nizing the fact that he was hemmed tightly
by the surging mass that surrounded him,

The Brooks Iatr Breaks and Separates a
Poor Family.
John Adlcr of Mt Washington, was con
victed of illegal liquor selling and was sent
to the workhouse lor three months yester
day morning. In the afternoon his wife
and six children were at the Department of
Charities for help.
Adlcr has been sick for a long time, and
finally getting strong enough secured work
as the agent for a brewerv. An agent for
the Allegheny county Liquor Dealers'
Association, it is alleged, got Adler to sell
him a keg of beer without an order and
then prosecuted him. It was on this that
he was committed to the workhouse, leaving
his family penniless.
Chief Elliot gave the woman enough
money to care for her immediate needs and
to-morrow will send the entire family to the
poor larm.

from home and came to Piltsbnrg. A few
days ago he was arrested and sent to jail.
Magistrate Succop wrote to his parents,
asking what he should do with the boy. The
father replied that he could do nothing with
his son, and if he was arrested again to send
him to Morganza. Yesterday Gnss got ont
of jail and was arrested last night on the
Southside.
COLONEL 8T0NE WOULDN'T TALK.
The Congressman Declined to Discuss the
Action of the Supreme Court.
Congressman W. A. Stone preferred not
to talk. He said it would not be proper for
him to criticise the action of Chief Justice
Paxson. It was suggested that in this case
Judge Paxson was a magistrate, and he had
issued a warrant based on an information.
This statement however, did not' encourage
the Colonel, who was anxious to steer clear
ofthe subject He added that he was not
well enough posted on the law of treason
to talk about it Without looking up the
matter he could not say whether there are
precedents inr a private citizen preferring a
charge of treason or not H: thought the
case was in good hands and justice would
be done.

Despite a father and mother's objections,
Emil Haberkorn, the leader of the Du
quesne Theater orchestra, last night wedded
Miss Emma Foster Smith.
The Dispatch yesterday published the
announcement of their wedding, and fixed
the day for Thursday next The wedding
was to take place at the home of the bride's
father, M. M. V. Smith, of 226
DinwiddU street It was' to be
followed by reception. The
annonncement was followed by a dark
cloud. Last night Mr. Smith sent a com
munication to The Dispatch in which he
said the wedding wonld not take place at
his house, nor would any reception be
given by him and Mrs. Smith. Further
than this, he announced that neither he or
Mrs. Smith had given their approval to
their daughter's marriage.
A Dispatch reporter called at the Smith
home. Mr. Smith was out, but Mrs.
Smith was at home. She declined to say
anything about the coming wedding more
than had already been said.
Strongly Opposed to the Marriage.
When asKed where Miss Smith was, she
replied, "I don't know where she
.is and care less. She hasn't been at home
for quite awhile. This disgraceful chock
was a hard one to us. It came to us like a
thunder storm out of a blue sky. We will
certainly not give our consent to the mar
riage." It was learned later In the evening that
Miss Smith was stopping with Mr. Haber
korn's sister at 228 Dinwiddle street A call
there de eloped the fact that she had lett
there about 5 o'clock in company
with Mr. Haberkorn to be mar
ried. Finally, the minister who
married them, Bev. J. H. Delo was found
at his home, 218 Dinwiddie street He ac
knowledged having performed the cere
mony about 7 o'clock in the evening. The
wedding was a very quiet affair, only the
principals, Mr. and Mrs. Fletcher and Mr.
Speer being present
The wedding party were driven to the
Schlosser Hotel and had dinner. Mr.
Haberkorn was found at the Schlosser last
night His storv is this: "I cannot under
stand why my wife's father and stepmother
should objeot to our marriage. There
was a time when Mr. Smith did not
The Bride Was a Missionary.
"Mi S3 Smith was a missionary in the
South and came home this summer on a
vacation. We arranged to be married next
June, and a week ago she intended to go
back. I then thought that we
might as well be married at once. I could
give her a good home, something she did
not have, because she and her step-mother
did not get along well together.
She consented to a speedy marriage. Ac
cordingly I visited Mr. Smith at his office
and asked him for his daughter's
hand. He readily gave it
and seemed to be highly pleased,
complimenting me very kindly. I was de
lighted, and the day was fixed for Tuesday.
Mr. Smith went home and told his wife,
bnt she objected. The next day I saw
him again and he asked me to put the mar
riage oft until Thursday, as his wife ob
jected, but he thought she wonld
change ner mina. in tms x con
sented, for I wanted my wed
ding to be a happy one. Matters ran along
until to-day, when Mr. Smith told me
that, he 'had reconsidered his de
cision and he could not allow me to
marry hrs daughter. This caused the battle
lines to be drawn.
Eeft Her Home for Ever.
"Miss Smith was at her home during all
of this time. Yesterday morning she was
called into the presence of her lather and
step-mother. Mr. Smith told her that she
would have to go back to her missionary
home or leave home for ever.
She chose the latter and came to the home
of my sister, where I live. We deemed
it advisable to be married at once
and so the ceremony was per
formed this afternoon. I tried to
do my part in this aflair honorably and
think I did. My wife is of age and I did
not need to go to the trouble of getting
the parents' consent The only
objection they have to me is
that I am a divorced man, bnt no one ean
say I did not act honorably in that proceed
ing. Then the mother has another objec
tion. I am not ' society man,
viine she things me is made up
of nothing but social duties. I have hopes
that we may all be happily reunited
soon. I am sure Mr. Smith is will
ing that I should marry his
daughter, but his wife forced him to with
hold his consent Finally I hope all these
barriers may be swept "away and we may
all be happy together. I will make my
home for the present at my sister's house,
next door to my father-in-law's residence."
A MOTHER CUTS' HER CHILD. A GIfrANTIC SCHEME.
Mrs. Harket Strikes Her Little Daughter
With a Knife The Flesh Is Opened Clear
to the Bone Antl-Crnelty Society Arrests"
Her.
Mrs. Lewis E. Hmrket, of 18 First alley,
Allegheny, was arrested Friday night by
Seeretary Dorenteofthe Anti-Ornelty So
ciety, for abusing her 15-year-old daughter,
Mary. She will be given a hearing Mon
day before Alderman Burns.
Agent Fisher investigated the case and
learned from tha mother that the girl was
saucy and inclined to run about the streets
with girls and young men of questionable
character. The mother admits to having
struck the girl with a knife on two or three
occasions, cutting her arm badly in several
places. The girl was taken to the Home of
the Good Shepherd and will be kept there
until the case can be thoroughly investi
gated. After the arrest of the mother the father
of the girl went to the office of the Anti
Cruelty Society and demanded that the girl
be delivered to him. He claims that the
girl is incorrigible and that he will send
her to Morganza as soon as possible.
Mary's story is that both her father and
mother have violent tempers, and when
they get angry about anything they are sure
to vent their passion on her. "On Thurs
day evening," she said, "one nl my little
brothers broke a sup, and mamma in a
rage blamed it on me. I told her I had
nothing to do with breaking the cup, and
telling me that I was a lazy, good for noth.
ing liar, she struct: me with a bread knite
on the arm, and here is the wound it made."
She showed an ugly gash, cut to the bone,
on her left wrist "Mamma would not let
me have supper that night, and when papa
came home he ordered her to waken him
up early 'the next morning so that he could
see that I got no breakfast When he did
get up he ordeied me to leave home and
never come back any more. I am very un
happy at home, and I don't care where' I go
so I don't get beat fo'r things I don't do."

An Unknown Man Dies In Central Station
From Alcoholism.
An unknown man died at the Central
police station shortly after 10 o'clock yes
terday morning. Police Surgeon Moyer,
who was doing all in his power
to save his life at the time,
says the man died of alcoholism.
The man was picked up at the corner of
Seventh avenne and Cherry alley on Friday
night at 1U:.JU o cloct by Bergeant Tom
Ste'rck, of Central station. The prisoner
was stupid and unable to talk
and a charge of drunkenets was
placed against the entry on the
docket enrolling the man's name as John
Miller ior want of positive information.
There was nothing whatever on his person
to indicate his name or home, and he did
not possess the usual knife or bunch of keys
found on prisoners.
When placed in a cell he lay down and
was soon asleep and snoring. In the morn
ing at the hour ior hearing the cases he
could not be aroused. His heavy breathing
alarmed his keepers and Surgeon Moyer
was sent lor. He labored with the man some
three hours but he was too far gone and
died. The body was then removed to the
morgue, where it now lies. But one person
called to see it yesterday, and
he failed to identify it
The body is that of a man about 35 years,
5 feet 8 inches tall, of light complexion,
with a sandy mustache, and weighing about
125 pounds. He was dressed in a gray
coat and vest and dark trousers of a rather
poor quality.

A Hi;
Drop In Price.
Saflord, who brought the suit in the
former purchase, says Chief Brown should
accept the Amoskeag Company's lowest
bid, a', at the price, theirs is the cheapest
and best engine. The difference between
the lowest and the highest price engines,
he says, does not really amount to over
5150. Regarding the chemical engines
Saflord says the prices are irom 5300 to 5450
lower thau they were ever offered before.
When Mayor Gourley heard of the re
duced prices for engines offered he was
pleased. "Discussion has brought compe
tition,'' he said, "and competition low
prices. But if I was Chiet Brown I would
buy one Ahrens engine and one Clapp &
Jones. I don't know anything about the
machinery or the merits of the various en
gines, but in order to satisfy myselt and the
people which was really the best machine, I
would have one of each of the best kinds.

William Myles Is Assaulted at High Noon
on Fourth Avenne.
William Myler, 21 years old, a resident
of Cannonsburg, was the victim of a very
mysterious and at the same time brutal as
sault on Fourth avenue at noon yesterday.
Myles came to the city on an Exposition
excursion, and was on. his way to 'that
building. J
While passing down Fourth avenue two
men sneaked up behind him and one of
them dealt him a brutal blow on the head
with a weapon of some kind. Just what
the purpose ot the assault was is not known.
The men made off after inflicting the blow.
The police are of the opinion that robbery
was meant, but the men were frightened oft
Myles walked out Penn avenue to tha
corner of Thirteenth street, where he fell to
the sidewalk from loss ot blood. He was
sent to the Twelfth ward station. Dr.
Green fonnd Myles was suffering from a
deep, ugly wound in the head that almost
fractured the skull. Later she started for
the home of his sister who lives in the East
End.
The property holders of upper Allegheny
along the Allegheny river are at present
agitating a scheme to connect Herr's
Island with the mainland of Allegheny,
and to have the channel of the Allegheny
river widened and deepened on the Pitts
burg side. The scheme would give to Alle
gheny City all the territory embraced by
Herr's Island.
The Allegheny people allege that their
scheme, which would throw all the water
into one channel, would greatly benefit
navigation.
Chief of Publie Works Ehleri, formerly
City Engineer of Allegheny, concerning
the scheme, said yesterday:
"The project is not at all Impossible, but
Its completion involves a number of compli
cations. For instance ' every part of the
present water course that is obstructed
on tho Allegheny side wcnld necessitate
a corresponding compensation in the Pitts
burg channel in order to accommodate the
flow of water. This, of course, could be
accomplished in different ways but either
way at a great expense. The main ques
tion to be settled would be concerning the
advantages to be derived and whether or
not they" would be equivalent to the cost of
the undertaking. This question would re
quire a solution by the Government.
A rumor which has gained considerable
credence is current that the P. & W. B. R.
is gazing with longing eye at the pros
pective new territory. It is claimed the
railroad is exceedingly cramped lor room.
Owing to inadequate possessions the com
pany, it is said, is compelled to operate its
lines along the edge of Eiver avenue and
extend its yards on both sides of the Ander
son street depot, up the river as far as Mill
vale and down as far as the Point bridge.
The acquisition of this new land, it is be
lieved, would be valuable beyond estimate
to tne railroad company.
The great objection, now as then, to the
realization of the project, was that by clos
ing up the channel on tho Allegheny side,
small though it is, the channel on the Pitts
burg side would be rendered too small
during high water. .
Owing to an insufficient waterway the
banks would be made to serve as a dam to
pile back the water against the current
The result would be a disastrous' overflow.
This difficulty could be overcome, however,
by increasing the depth of the Pittsburg
channel in a ratio proportionate to the
obstruction produced on the opposite side.
Or a slice might be shaved off the east
side of the island to enlarge the Pittsburg
cnannei ana tne eartn Do used tor tilling up
the channel.

A Truly Good Young Man Ends His Career
When Unmasked.
NEWABK, N. J., Oct L ISpxiaL
William L. Swartwout, of Albany, com
mitted suicide in a cell at police head
quarters last evening by taking carbolio
acid. Swartwout, who was 27 years old,
was collector for John Buckelhaus, a furni
ture dealer, and had ths confidence of his
employer to such an extent that he could
manipulate the books. He was a pious
young man, and reproved others in the
store for swearing. Two awceks ago he was
arrested in Asbury Park for embezzling 47,
and confessed that he had begun stealing
two years ago, only three weeks after he
was engaged as collector. He was bailed in
$C0O, and went to Albany.
Eecently his bondsman learned that
Swartwout had sent to his Xewark board
ing honse ior his clothes, and suspecting
that he was about to skip his bail, Mr.
Benedict went to police headquarters to
make arrangements for giving him up.
Meanwhile Mr. Buckelhaus discovered that
the defalcations amounted to over $1,000,
and made a new charge.- Benedict tele
graphed to Swartwout: "Come to Newark
at once; important" Swartwout responded
and was arrested at 4 o'clock while talking
to Benedict Shortly before 7 he was found
dead in' his oell with an empty bottle near
his head. It had contained an ounce of
strong carbolic aoid. Swartwout was un
married.
