KUJIEROUS PKOPRIETORS ARRESTED
Pittsburg and Allegheny speak-easies are
sailiu? on rough peas just now. This is es
pecially so in Pittsburg. The police de
partment yesterday gave evidence that it
proposed to force these illicit liquor dealers
out of business. It had Mrs. JUary Sherry
up before the courts and succeeded in get
ting her quite a heavy seutence. It is no
doubt the intention of Superintendent
O'Mara to at once proceed against tbeother
tpcak-easy keepers who thickly throng that
neighborhood.
Samuel AVhitelionse, Jr., a brother of
Police Captain Whitehouse, did not appear
in Criminal Court yesterday when his case
was called. He had been indicted on four
charges of selling liquor without license
ai.d on Sunday. AVhitehouse could not be
located, and the Court ordered the lor
feiture of his bail. Bryan Devine furuisned
the bouds. The sum was ?2,000.
An Allegheny Proprietress' Sentence.
Margaret Morrow, alias "Davis," was np
in the Criminal Court clnrged with the
same oflensc. She pleaded guilty to both
charges. Her seutence was three months
to the workhouse and to pav a fine of 5550.
Robert Middlemis had offended in the
same manner. He will have to pay a fine
of f 500 and go the norkhouse for three
months and 20 Uays.
Of all these cases, Mrs. Mary Sherry's is
the most interesting. She pleaded guilty to
the charges. Her sentence was extraordi
narily heavy. For one year she is to be con
fined at Clarcmout and will also have to pay
a fire of SS.'iO.
Iu a little story and a half house on Sec
ond avenue, between Ferry and Short
streets, lor several years Mrs. Sherry has
reigned a queen. Her ciicle of acquaint
ances was large and embraced almost
every class ot respectable men in
Pittsburg. The proiesional man, the
buineis man and the laborer have all
knocked at her little side door and inside
have split many a bottle together. Her
customers in the sexcral years of her reign
hate been many. If a register had been
kept, it would have afforded many sur,
prhes. Xames of merchants, oflicials
policemen, Councilmen, politicians, great
and small, would have been on it
InMde the IJttlo Slilo Door.
Passing down Second avenue one would
never hate supposed that No. 40 was a
sneak-easy. The front of the house was
ihik and presented the appearance of a
quiet little home. It was seldom that any
one entered the house through the front
door. A little side door admitted all the
patrons. Sometimes a knock was necessary,
but more often the door was unlocked and he
who wanted to could enter. The inside
ws tidv and cozv. There were three rooms.
which cre used by visitors to the house.
The two back apartments were moderately
furnished, and there many a barrel of beer
has beeu cousumed. Here 100 men have
often gathered at one time, and corks
have popped like ruinie balls in bat
tle. The politicians of both parties
have gathered there and in these rooms
in in v a political scheme has been hatched
while the originators sipped their beer.
In all these discussions good feeling pre
vailed, and no one ever 'heard of disorder
at Mrs. Sherry's.
In 3In. Sherry's Tront Parlor.
The front parlor was not thrown open to
all. It was a cosy little room, fitted np
with easy chairs. Here select parties of
men have met and oter a glass ot beer
formed friendships which were lasting.
Mrs. Sheiry is a woman of about 30 yearg
of age and rather pretty. She alone man
aged the affairs of her house, and her doors
were never open but to male patrons.
Everybody who came in was known to her
and she had many lriends. She had little
to say to her customers, but all were
treated with great courtesy.
An evidence of the great following she
had was shown last night when the news of
her sentence was made known. Many ex
pressed great sympathy for her, and thought
she had gotten a tery salty sentence.
The community in which Mrs. Sherry
lived is thickly thronged with speak-easies,
and it is now supposed that Superintendent
O'Mara will clean them all out,
Eo au a Spealc-Easy.
John "vTheian was arrested last evening
for illegal liquor selling. He ran a speak
easy at Water and Grant streets which has
given considerable trouble to the police
lately. "Whelan was locked up at the Cen
tral police station, and will have a hearing
to-day.
WILL NOT BE SERIOUS.

low prisoner known as 8T00, "a colored con

day. No. 8700 was employed as a barber
and was busy when 9G37 spoko to him.
Some words followed and the barber was
knocked down. During the melee No. 9637
was cut over the heart with the scissors in
the barber's hand.
Deputy Warden McKean said yesterday
the injured man was resting easy and will
recover. The cause of the quarrel has not
yet been ascertained, but will be thoroughly
investigated.
Saved From the Gallows.
SheriffMiller, of Cambria county, brought
Elmer IJruner to the "Western Penitentiary
yesterday. Bruner was tried for the kill
ing of old man Iteese, near Ebensburg, last
March, found guilty of murder in the first
degree, and sentenced to be hanged. Last

Oliver's room he found him lying on the
bed holding his left wrist over a slop jar,
which was nearly half filled with blood,
which was flowing from n fresh cut wound
in the wrist. The pash is about li inches
loqg, and within a quarter ot an incti of the
radial vein. When asked what was the
matter, he said: "I have tried to kill my
self, but I guess I've made a botch of the
job." He was verv weak and nervous, and
asked the doctor why the cut was not fatal.
He said he is a widower; has two children,
a son who is bookkeeper for a lumber firm
at the foot of Craig street, Allegheny, and
a daughter 12 years of age, who lives with
Mrs. McMasters, on Broad street, near

Rev. Father Leander Schneurr, O. S. B.,
was installed and consecrated Abbot of the

Bishop Phelan yesterday morning. The
ceremonies attracted a large attendance of
priests and were unusually impressive.
Quite a number of Benedictine monks from
different parts of the country were present.
The vacaucy of the Abbotship was caused
by the resignation of Father Andrew Hin

YOUTHFUL E0BBEE IN TBOUBLE,
Stein Johnson Arrested for Tapping a Till
hi a Sonthsldo Store.
Stein Johnson, of 2874 Carey alley, was
arrested yesterday as a suspicious character.
He is only 9 years old and is thought to be
one of three boys who tapped a till in Mrs.
Miller's store on South Fourteenth street
Tuesday evening. Mrs. Miller was out of
the store at the time, but three boys, all
about 10 years old, were seen to come out and
rnn up the street. Yesterday afternoon when
some boys went into the store, Mrs. Miller
tried to catch some of them. When they
went up the street she followed them and
caught young Johnson. While bringing
him down street, Officer Diebold came np
and lodged him in the Twenty-eighth ward
police station. He will be given a hearing
before Judge Succop this morning.
For some time a number of petty rob
beries have been committed by small boys,
but the police have not been able to 'catch
them heretofore. An eflort will be made to
send young Johnson to Morganza if he is
guilty.
HOT BELIEVED BY THE POLICE.
Slamlo Harrington Said She Was Assaulted
on Fenn Avenue.
A young girl about 17 years old and giv
ing the name of Mamie Harrington, was
brought to the Inspector's office last even
ing by a colored man. She told a ramb
ling story to Inspector McKelvey of how
a man had met her on Penn avenue, be
tween Fourth and Fifth streets, and had as
saulted her. She was found in a stable by
two men, who turned her over to the colored
man to take her to the station.
After a short examination it was found
that the girl had been in the habit of sleep
ing in stables on Okl avenue nightly. She
said she lived with her aunt, Nettie Smith,
in the Eleventh ward, but could not ex
actly say w here. Her father, she claimed,
is an engineer on the Lake Shore and Mich
igan Southern road. She said later that
she had been married in Cleveland some
short time ago. The Inspector sent her
to the Central station, from where she will
be sent to Morganza for three years.
THEY FOUND HO GAK3.
Tho Committee Im estimating the Mercer
School Returns Home.
Senator Lloyd and Representative Fladd,
members of the Legislative Committee
charged with the investigation of the man
agement of the Soldiers' Orphans' School at
Mercer, Pa., returned to Pittsburg last
night. They will go to their homes this
morning.
"Our work at Mercer was very unsatis
factory," Mr. Fladd said. "The manage
ment refused us an inspection of their
books and we had no power to compel them
to show up their accounts. Senator Gobin
did not attend the njeeting and Bepresenta
tive Baker was called home before we had
taken np the work, and as a result we were
unable to make any headway. We may in
the near future resume the work, but 1 am
fearful that we will accomplish nothing."
THE COMMITTEE BEP0BTB.
Fhysicians Recommend That Garbage Bo
Removed at Fnbllc Expense.
The committee of doctors appointed two
weeks ago to take measures to fight the
cholera reported to Chief Brown yesterday.'
The report contained formulas for disin
fecting patients, clothing, utensils and other
property.
The report in closing says: "We would
also recommend that the present method of
collecting garbage is a faulty one, and one
which, in the very probable event-of cholera
infection reaching us during the next year,
would be a source of great danger, there
fore we suggest that the Department of
Public Safety use all the influence it may
possess to secure the collection and disposal
of garbage at the public expense."
Wagon Wrecked by a Street Car.
Birmingham car No. 4 ran into a wagon
loaded with potatoes at Diamond aud
Smithfield yesterday. The wagon was
demolished and the potatoes scattered about
the street. James Powers, the owner and
driver, was not injured, but says he will
sue the company for damages, as the motor
man was the cause of the collision.
A Farewell Reception.
A reception will be given this evening at
the Central Presbyterian Church, on Forbes
street, to Bev. A. H. Mealy, who goes to

QUA! AND MAGEE HAVE GONE EAST
The Presidental campaign in Allegheny
county will be formally opened on Satur
day night- when the marching clubs of both
political parlies will turn out and parade
the principal streets of the citv. So
far during the campaign the parades
have been confined to the small boys, but
Saturday night's demonstration promises
to be a glittering success, as the managers
of both parties are industriously working to
have all their forces in line, and each party
is watching the other to prevent anything
like an eclipse. At the headquarters ot
both political parties 'considerable, work
is being done and both parties seem to be
conducting a still-hunt campaign.
"It is true there has been no music, no
flourish of trumpets, no flashing of torches,"
Chairman Gripp said yesterday, ''bnt there
is a strong undercurtent and the campaign,
while it is on the quiet, is just as hot now
as ever I saw it. I have never known a
campaign where so much interest was mani
fested bv substantial people of both par
ties." Very Feculiar Campaign.
"It is to me the most peculiar campaign I
have ever known," County Commissioner
Weir said yesterday. "Our office is practi
cally crowded every day with people who
come there to inquire about the election
laws, the Baker ballot system or to see if
they have been registered. Our clerks have
been unable to wait upon all our visitors,
and we have been compelled to keep the
registry lists where the people can examine
them for themselves." J
The marshals and staff officers for the
Democratic parade Siturday evening met
last evening at Democratic headquarters to
complete arrangements lor the demonstra
tion. Chief Marshal Butledge presided.
He announced "that the colors of the Chief
Marshal and staff would be red, white and
blue; lor the Pittsburg division, red; for the
Southside division, white, and tor the Alle
gheny division, blue.
Marching Clubs vs. Street Cars.
Colonel Butledge stated that he bad
called on Chief Brown for the purpose of
learning just what rights the parade would
have in respect to street cars, eta He had
done' this because of the trouble there has
frequently been with motormen, etc., and
he wanted to know just what rights the
parade had. Chief Brown at
first said he didn't just know.
Finally he said that at a crossing
wheu one division has passed the next
division should halt a tew minutes and let
five or six cars pass, and so avoid too big a
blockade. In regard to marching parallel
"with a street car line, Chief Brown said that
where there was room between the tracks
and the curb the procession should take
that. Where there is not room between the
track and curb they can take the whole
street.
E. J. Frauenheim asked if there were any
strcetshere there is room between the car
tracks aud the curb for a procession.
Colonel Butledge replied that he Knew ot
none.
Officers of the Parade.
Colonel Butledge, as Chief Marshal,
issued general order No. 1. He finally as
sumed command and appointed the follow
ing: Adjutant General, E. J. Frauenheim;
Chief of Stall. .J. J. Flannery; Mar
shal of Pittsburg Division, Dr. C
C "Wiley; Marshal of Southside Di
vision, Joseph D. Jae; Marshal of

over the route as published.
The Iron and Steel Workers' Cleveland
and Stevenson Marching Club, composed of
workers in the Keystone mill, was added
to the list of clubs enrolled for the parade.
POLITICS IN TEXAS.
A Red-Hot Fight Raging In tho Demo
cratic Ranks.
' B. P. Bentfro, Collector of the port at
Brownsville, Tex., the most southern point
in the United States, passed through the
city last evening bound for Washington.
He thinks if the election Jn Texas were
held to-morrow that Clark, th'e independent
Democratic candidate for Governor, would
beat Hoeg, the present incumbent
Hogg is a great opponent of corporations,
and when a railroad company is mentioned
he takes a fit. This opposition has made
him the pet of the Farmers' Alliance,
which has indorsed him, and the renegade
Democrats, while the better element of the
party is supporting ClarK. Last week the
Republicans put Clark on their ticket, and
Mr. Bentfro is afraid that this act has hurt
him.
Mr. Bentfro added that Democratic poli
tics in Texas are in such condition that
Mills and men of his school are disgusted,
and will cot speak in the State. They have
have asked Harrity to send them to' other
sections.
Will Stump for Cleveland.
Ex-Solicitor General George A. Jenks, of
Brookville, registered at the Seventh
Avenue Hotel yesterday. He says he ha3
been too busy attending to his law business
to give any attention to politics, but he ex
pects to take the stump for Cleveland be
fore the campaign is over. Mr. Jenks
doesn't think that he will go out of the
State, but will confine himself to the north
western counties. He is not at the disposal
of the State Democratic Committee.
Many Toting Schools.
A number of voting schools are being
opened throughout the two" cities by tho
managers of both political parties. The
school at Bepublican heauqnarters and that
at Democratic headquarters are both being
liberally patronized, regular booths and bal
lots arc being used and those in charge of
the various schools say they have little
difficulty in educating the voters on the

Senator QuayAVIU Confer With Chairman
Carter and Clarkson.
Senator Quay left for Philadelphia yester
day morning and was .followed by his son
Dick last evening. Mr. Quay expects to
reach New York by the latter part of the
week when he will hold a consultation
with Chairman Carter and Clarkson.
If he is needed he is willing to
stay in New York, but Dick
thinks his father will not remain in the
metropolis more than several days. He
says Carter is running the campaign satis
factorily, and he sees no reason why his
father should stay there.
Senator Quay "thinks the .campaign ' in
Pennsylvania is too dead, and he will try to
put some lile into it. He wanta to see a
little lively work done in the western coun
ties. As he is charged with indifference
he is anxious to roll up a greater majority
lor Harrison than he had iu 1888 to show
the croakers that they were wrong. He
will consult with Chairman Beeder in
Philadelphia and at the same time see physi
cians about the vertigo in his head. Mr.
Quay says the good condition of the crops
and the general prosperity of the people
will make lots of votes for the, party. He
thinks the outlook is fair, but it remains to
be determined whether the people have had
too much tariff talk or not It makes him
laugh every time he thinks f the Wildcat
banking plank in the Democratic platform.
C. L. Magee left for Philadelphia and
New York last evening. It is expected that
the Senator and he will meet in New York.
ON THE FENCE THIS YEAB,
General Warner Is a Democrat Who Won't
Stamp for Clei eland.
General A. J. Warner, of Marietta, was,
at the Union depot last evening going to
Washington. The old man is disgusted)
with the Democracy this year and is on the
fence: "I was invited," he said, "to take
the stump in Ohio for Cleveland, but I re
fused. The rainbow chasers who imagine that
tho Buckeye State is going Democratic will
be badly fooled. The Democrats have gone
back on every principle they ever held.
Their tarifi plank is neither Jefiersonian
nor Jacksoniau. It is in direct violation of
the Constitution, and I believe that Wat
terson hud Calhoun's tariff doctrine substi
tuted for the original resolution to defeat
Cleveland. I do not mean -to say that
McKinlev's policy of excluding trale is
constitutional, but there is a medium be
tween the tarifi planks of the two parties
that is just. It is what the old-time Demo
crats advocated, but the modern lellows
repudiated.
"As tor the wild cat banking plank, it is
the most ridiculous thing ever put in a
Democratic platform. We want the double
standard of gold and Bilver in this country.
It is the only sensible money."
AN ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING.
The Democrats on the Sonthsldo Meet to

YOUNGSTOWN ROLLERS K0T HAPPY
The detectives, in tho employ of the Car
negie Steel Compauy, at Homestead, have
received information as to the whereabouts
of CO of the missing Pinkerton rifles. A re
mark from a 9-year-old boy gave the clew
upon which the detectives went to work,
and they have received sufficient corrobora
tive information to convince them
that they are at length upon the rieht track
oi the Winchesters. The time for making
the descent has not been decided upon, but
the locality is now under surveillance to
prevent a removal of the weapons. The de
tectives have also clues to several of the
men who are wanted on the treason
charges, and arrests may follow to-day.
There is little change in the operation of
the mill. The break in the 35-inch mill has
been repaired, and the management expects
that plant lo be running as usual to-day.
About a dozen new men secured work yes
terday, and no desertions were reported.
The converting mill is gradually increasing
its capacity as the men become more accus
tomed to working the big ten ton vessels,
and this gives more steel to be worked up
in the various departments. It is reported
that a large hotel for workingmen is to be
built shortly at the corner of Eighth ave

Members of the Advisory Committee are

Burgess John McLuckie, lately of Home
stead, said: "I don't propose to return to
Pittsmirg simply because the Carnegie
Company says I must I have always beeu
a law-abiding man, and if the legally con
stituted authorities notify me that I am
wanted I will return. My present post
office address is Youngstown, O., and aletter
so addressed, postage 'paid, will reach me.
If the Carnegie Company wants me so badly
they needn't take the trouble to get a requi
sition. Let them send an officer here with
a warrant and I will cross the State' line
without giving anybody any trouble.
Prominent men of Allegheny county have
assured me that that they will go on my
bond at any time I see fit to return, so the
officers of the company will not succeed in
getting me behind the" bars for any length
of time."'
William Boberts, of' the Homestead Ad
visory Committee, was in Youngstown last
night and had a conference with McLuckie.
There is a feeling among the rollers and
heaters of Youngstown in favor of with
drawing from the Amalgamated Associa
tion. A member said yesterday that it was
the intention now to form a separate organi
zation, the membership to include the roll
ers and heaters in the Mahoning and She
nango Valleys, and the new association to
meet the manufacturers on the completion
of contracts under the present scale. It is
stated there that when President Weihe
retires from the association next month he
will accept a lucrative position with Oliver
Brothers, of Pittsburg.
PECULIABLY AFFLICTED.
Three Mill Men Ketnrn to Their Homes
Under the Doctors' Care.
A dispatch from Chicora, Pa., S3ys:
"Three men who went from here to work in
the Homestead mills are back home tinder
the doctors' care. They are L. H. Craig,
G. W. Arney and Harry Thomson. They
are all suffering with a complaint that com
bines low fevers with cholera morbus
symptoms, and declare that a majority of
the men in the mills? particularly those
who came there from other places, are more
or less afflicted with the same peculiar ail
ments. They say the men attribute the
difficulty to the drinking water and to tho
rank odors about the place.
