ThK UTIL* ISC I ADDUCED ON THB SBCOND DAT The P'.amuff Reeu Ha Case, and the Defecse Begins —Dr. Pipes Himself on the Stand— Hu W fe Called. The hearing of testimony in the cause ot J. H. Pi pee v J. H. McCoy, action to re cover $i>,iNK) damages for slander, was re sumed before Jndge Campbell yesterday morning. A late start was riade, it being alter ten o’clock when the first witness ol the day. Hermann Hentz, was called. He was pot present, and Miss Louisa Custer was called. She had a conversation with Dr. McCoy, at her house, about two years ago. One or two other ladies were pres ent The Doctor called with a petition. Mrs. Habhertield was present,. Witness had asked the Doctor why be called, and be said he had a petition about Miss Greenlee. He said she was not a fit person to teach school; that one day Mrs. Pipes had gone tor some meat and forgot her pocketbook, and on returning for it was the Doctor and Miss Greenlee in l>“d to gether. He said “and not only that, but even now he is spending twoor three hours a day with her.” WITNESS DIDN’T BELIEVE IT. On crose-exBininatio witness said she bad told Dr. McCoy she thought he didn’t koow anything about th« matter, when he said he would take Mrs Pipes word (or it. He did not say directly that Mrs. Pipes had told him, nor did he say he knew the matter of his own knowledge. W ltnees told her mother not to sign the papers. Dr. Pipes had never been witness' family physician. Witness had told a lady of Dr. McCoy’s visit, and she told Dr. Pipes. One morning the Doctor passed, and wit ness mentioned the matter to him. When Dr. McCoy called, witness dissuaded her mother and Mrs. Habbertield from signing. Witness didn’t believe Mrs. Pipes ever made snch a statement about her husband and Miss Greenlee had she believed it Bhe would have signed. CHAMPION INC! THE MARRIED TEACHERS. Joseph A. Arkle was next called. He had a conversation with Dr. McCoy in ltgsT, at his stori. Dr. McCoy bronght np the subject of the trouble in the school, and said Dr. Pipes had been running the schools for a good while, and that he intended to run them now. \} another time he said some thing aboot Dr. Pipes coining out of a house of assignation with a woman. The defense moved to exclude this, but the ob jection was withdraw. Proceeding, the witness again said Dr. McCoy said Dr. pipes had been seen coming ont of a bouse of assignation with a woman. tj. Did he say who the woman was'-’ A. I don't remember who he said she was, only that it was a woman Do yon rememlter of other conver sations * A. No, not distinctly, ij. Do you recall Dr. McCoy saying an\thing about Dr. Pipes in connection with Miss Greenlee or Miss Stephens? A. Well, I could not say positively. There was one coDveisatioD, when I in terred from his remarks—[objection to in ferences]—on the morning alter the Board of Education met in 1Ks7, the Doctor was to my store. At that time I hail heard nothing whatever ol any trouble, bnt 1 had read the account of the deliberations of the Board of Education at the Angnst, ls-*7, meeticg. Wituess told Dr. McCoy he had seen he hadctaanipionedtbe cause of the married teacher, the evening befote. He H»1U, wucu »‘o — tor an old- to take her place.” The defense moved to exclude this and the motion was sustained. On another occa sion Dr. McCoy asked witness if he had heard anything regarding a scandal in the school. Witness said, no Dr. McCoy was witness' family physician. HOW ONE STORY STARTEH. Herman Kent/, had a conversation with Dr McCoy regarding Dr. Pipes. It was on the street. r. McCoy said he had been told by Dr. Keed, deceased, that he bad seen Dr Pipes with “some trim little lady ” going to a house of assignation. It was Dr. McCoy’s snppoeitioa it was Mies Stephens, one of the teachers. Witness knew what was meant by a house of assig nation, and defined snch a place. There was other conversation with Dr. McCoy, but witness conld not repeat it. On cross examination witness said he had no relative attending the Eighth ward school. He could not say how the conver sation with Dr. McCoy originated. I)r. Pipes and witness had a talk about the matter. Dr. Pipes had engaged witness to circulate a petition, saying something to the efleet that money was no object if names conld be seemed. The Dr. Keed spoken of was Dr. Pipes' partner. Wit ness declined to circulate Dr. Pipes’ peti tion because he wanted nothing to do with the matter. TH E PETITIONS. Mrs. Louisa Habherfield had only a casual acquaintance with the two Doctors. When Dr. McCoy called on her to sign a petit'on against Miss Greenlee, he said she was not a fit teacher to have in the school. Witness a«ked why she was not fit, and DrJ McCoy said Mrs. Pipes had said she had caught her husband and Miss Green lee in bed, and that since then the Doctor spent two or three home a day with her Once after, Dr. McCoy had called on witness, and asked if she had repeated the story he had told. W'itness said no, it was Miss Coster, and then the Doctor said: "Well, if she said it, it won't amount to much, then.” The Doctor didn’t say why he wanted to find out. When the Doctor had called on witness, witness said she didn't know Miss Green 1 lee, and wouldu’t sign tor or against her. Then Dr. McCoy wanted to kuow if wit ness approved of that sort of a woman for a teacher, and witness repeated she did not know anything about her. DIDN’T bei.ikvk THE STORY. John Walton said Dr. McCoy had con versed with him about Dr. Pipes, on two occasions. At ths tirst, Dr. McCoy asked witness it he had heard ot the scandal that was going around. Witness said no, aDd asked the Doctor who was in it. The Doc tor said he wonld not tell at that time. At the second time witness asked about the scandal, and Dr. McCoy said it was in his own residence Witness said he snp 1 posed he meant M ies Greenlee. The Doc tor said it was M'ss Greenlee and Dr. Pipes. He said I “had better watch 1 mv residence, and 1 could see tor myself, that Dr. Pipes had been seen coming ont ol Miss Greenlee’s residence at a late hour of night.’’ Witness told Dr. McCoy to be caretnl what he said, as be didn’t believe the story, and that witness wonld be on the other side ot thei{nestion. MissGreen lee was a tenant in witness’ house. A motiou by the defease to exclude this wit ness' evidence was overruled and ex cepted to. WANTED A COMPROMISE Mr. D. W. Keiftr had a conversation with Dr. McCoy about Dr. Pipes. The Doctor told him Dr. Pipes had brought suit, and witness was going on to repeat what bad been said concerning Dr. Pipes, bnt happening to say it was since the snit was brought, the dtf-nse objected to this testimony as narrating events since the snit aas brought, and arguments upon the point were had. The Conrt allowed the evidence to go in, as tending to show malice. In this con nection there was a lively verbal sparring match Between Mr. Alfred Caldwell and Capt. Doverner, which grew so warm as to call forth a suggestion from the Conrt that the conversation wonld bs more prop er outside the Conrt Honse. Court here took a rtcess nntil 2:30 p m. On resssemblirg Mr Keifer was allowed to proceed with his recollection of the con versation with Dr. McCoy. Wheu witness learned the two parties were at law, he asked Dr. McCoy what the result would be. Then Dr. McC'y said he wonld be able to establish all he bad said Mrs. Pipes and her son, John K., that he had gathered bia information principally from them. Dr. McCoy said if Dr. Keed had lived he would have been enabled to prove the visit to the assignation bonne with Miss Stephens, io a baggy. Dr. McCoy also related to witness that he would be able to prove by Mrs. Pipes that Dr. Pipes and Miss Greenlee bad been in bed to gether, and referred to a letter he had re ceived from John R. Pipes. Proceeding, be said Dr McCoy said that if ail re ports were tme, Dr. Pipes was little bet ter than “a conscientious libertine. [Laughter.] On cross-examination witness said within a tew days, in Dr. Pipes’ office, be brought up the matter and suggested it would be a good thing to compromise the matter, as they we>e both fine gentlemen, etc. Dr. Pipes didn’t take kindly to It, and then witness said “Dr. Pipes, do yon know what Dr. McCoy can prove against yon?” Dr. Pipes said: “Oh yes, I have a general idea.’’ Witness bad not been re quested by Dr. McCoy to approach Dr. Pipes. No one had suggested the matter of a compromise to witness; what he did in that connection was of his own volition. ABom A KISS. Mrs. Miller had a conversation with Dr. McCoy, in witness’ store, abont two years ago Dr. McCoy said the two women ought not to be allowed to teacb, from what be heard from Mrs. Pipes and out siders Some of the school children said Dr. Pipes went in Miss Stephen’s room and threw his arms around her and kissed her, before the children. On croca-*xau)inawon witnecs Rain Dr. Pipes said: ‘How can parents send their children to such teachere?1’ Witness re plied. * If things are the way yon say, it oaghtn’t to ba allowed. A NEWSPAPER COMES IN. John Devine had a conversation in Sep tember, 1887, with Dr. McCoy about Dr. Pipes. It was in McCnllongh’s drag store. The Doctor caine across the street and showed witness a Chicago paper. Witness said he had heard all he cared to hear about the matter. Dr. McCoy said, “Ion haven’t heard half ” The plaintiff asked for the paper men tioned by the witness, bnt the defense de clined to' produce it upon that sort of a demand. A subpena duiv> te cum was asked for, bnt beiore it was i»sned the de fense said they conld not produce the pa per, the plaintiff ought to have provided himself with any paper they might have wanted. Anyhow, the trial conld not be stopped to ask Dr. McCoy ahont a news paper. The plaintiff concluded to do with out the subpena and the paper, and the witness retired. THE SAME OI.D STORY. Mrs. Cneter said Dr. McCoy had come to her with a petition or list agreeing not to send the children to school any more. Witness asked why, and T>r. McCoy told what Mrs. Pipes had said about Dr. Pipes and Mrs. Greenlee. THE PLAINTIFF ON THE STAND. Dr. Pipes was sworn at five minutes after three o'clock He had lived in Wheeling eighteen years. The effect of Dr. McCoy’s stories had “soured” some of bis patients and friends. They would pass him on the street and not speak to him. It had affected his practice very materially. From what he heard some families would like to employ him, bnt were afraid of the talk. g — What has been the difference in your income, in money annually, before and after these stories? A.—My business has not been nearly so large the last year or two. as before. I can only approximate the falling off. I am within bounds when I say I have done $1,000 less annually the last year and a half, and I think I would be within bounds should I say at the rate of $1,500 per year less than before the stories were put ont. g.—How have the stories effected yon socially? A.—A very greal deal. Many persons who used to come to our place now refuse, and niaDy who used to spaak to mo now pass me by. I IIU.'VV t \ A M I A i . This suit has n»w been pending two years? A.—Nineteen months. —You brought this snit for damages as tt physician ? A.—Yes; and damages in social stand ing. —Then why didn’t yon compute yonr professional loss? A —Became I never thought I would he asked that question. —Yon didn’t look over yonr books at ull ? A.—No, eir. if.—And yon are simply making a guess ? A.—I said I was approximating it. Q.—But it’s only a gness? A.—I think I can make a pretty fair guess. Q. —Who are the people who pass you without speaking' A.—I said I could tell, hut I don’t ♦ant to. R. —Well, let’s hear their names. A.—Well, one of the tirbt 1 noticed was Mrs. John H. Hobbs. She used to be very friendly. I have treated them at times. —Who else? A.—Mrs. Charles Hobbs. y.—Who else? A.—Mrs. M. B. Stauver is another lady who wanted to get out of speaking to me. y.—Who else? A.—Well, I don’t like to mention these names. There is another lady—Miss Mor rison. She greets me as tbongb she was ashamed or afraid to speak to me. Captain Dovener here made a remark, and Mr. Gto. B. Caldwell said: “If you’ll keep quiet, and net commit an impro priety, which yon know to besnch, I’ll be obliged to you.” [Laughter ] Dr. Pipes—Another lady who stopped speaking to me was Mrs William Elling ham. Htr husband re-introduced uie to her. y.—Who else has stop ped speaking to yon ? A.—Another lady who seldom speaks to me now—only when 1 meet her squarely— is Mrs. Cole. 1}.—Now, do yon know of any other reasou than this ‘‘racket” why Mrs. John H. Hobbs stopped speaking to you ? A.—No. Q —Now, don’t yon know it was be came yonr wife went to Mrs. Hobbs? A.—No; I didn’t kuow she went to her. y.—And didn't yonr wife go to Mr. El 1 Ingham? A — i suppose you went to all tnehcnooi Commissioners. —Might not the I'sct ihat your wife went to Mr. Ellingharu be the can»e of ‘ the old lady” you mentioned not coming to yon for treatment. A —I don’t know; I attrihnte it to the school trouble. Q.—Suppose yonr wife had gone to Mr. Ellingbum and told him yon bad had nnchaste relations with Miss Greenlee. Don’t von think it wonld have been as likely to have intlnenced that old lady as any general news? Capt. Doveoer—That's a conundrum the witness don’t have to answer. 0 — Oh, if she had said I bad nnchaste relations with Miss Greenlee, that would have had its intlaence, undoubtedly. Q.—Yon have said there were peop e who wonld have employed yon, if it had not been for thie racket. A —I said I had understood it from a reliable sonrce. Certain persons told me that other parties wonld have employed me, but they were afraid to. [This was wrangled over ttnil exc ndsd in chief, all beard by the plaintiff from others being struck ont. ] 0.—Did any person • ell yon that they themselves had re fused to employ yon be cause of this school racket? A —I can't recall anyone telling me per sonally. That sort of thing generally comes from others. 0 —Do yon recollect, about the time this suit was brought, or before, about a talk with P. D. Dobbins, when yon said the school trouble hadn’t affected yonr practice, bnt had rather benefited it? A — That was in the heat of the fight. McCoy was blowing efl his whistle, and my friends were active, and 1 couldn’t see that my business bad been hurt. I have teen it since, however. Q.—You have old patients drop off and new ones corns, all along, don't yon? A -Oh, yes, new families come in. Capt. Dovener—Some die. [Laughter.] Mr. G. B. Caldwell- Well, if yon had | been a doctor and they were yonr patient*, I a great many more would have died. ("Laughter.] , .. . Q.—Did Dr. Ried threaten to dissolve voor partnership with him before this racket, on account of the practice tailing off? A —No, sir. O —That never occurred? A —No; that ie the first intimation I ever bad of anything of that kind. THE LAST WITNESS FOB PLAINTIFF. Mise Bickerton said Dr. McCoy had told her, about two years ago, that Dr. Pipes bad told Mr. Gns Schnltze that if he would go aronnd with a petition he would give bis daughter a position in the school. Motion to exclude. The Court—I suppose it should be ex cluded Mr. Rnssell—1 suppose not. Finally the motion was ovetnled and the witness went on. She said Dr. McCoy said Dr. Pipes had gone home Irom seeing a patient and got in bed with his wife and Miss Greenlee. He told his wife to move over, and she wouldn’t do it and told him to get in the middle, and he did so. On cross-examination witness said Dr. McCoy didn't say bow he acquired his in information. Witness was an applicant for a position teacher, and aftewards got it. Witness took aronnd a petition. Wit ness was willing to do that, and never shed a tear over it. Dr. Pipes used no threats. The plaintiff here rested. the defense At 1:25 Mrs. Sarah Pipes, wife of the plaiutiff, was called, bnt before she had been questioned the defense moved to ex clnde the plaintiffs testimony, as not mak ing » Mwe under the declaration.

Overruled and except ed to, with the nmlerstandiDg that the Court might change the decision after ex amining the notes. The first question asked the wi ucss re lated to the lime when she bad first heard rnmors as to I)r. Pipes’ relations with Miss Greenlee.

THE FINANCE COMMITTEE MINISTERS TO THE MONETARY WANTS — Of the Various Wards in the City—Some Get Wbat They Ask and Others Get Left—A Hard Tussle With Figures Over. The Council Committee on Finance met again last night, at the City Hall to re new work upon the appropriations for the current fiscal year. The committee had pat things in finch shape at last f riday s session that it was enabled to at once enter npon the work of making appropriations for s‘reet improvements The various same available for work coming order the jurisdiction ofthe Hoard of 1’nblic Works were: := fg § Ten cent levy fund. sM" £ Contingent .. 1 Making a total of.$110,384 25 The first formal appiopriatrou maae lor the Market and Tenth efreet paving, it being the item of $15,853.69, contained in the above table. The committee agreed to give priority to Misappropriations made last yeur, bnt not expended, and with this in view the report of last year’s Finance Committee was taken np, and the first item coming under this head, the gravel ing of Booth Front street, was approved and $150 appropriated therefor. The next item was the paving of short Coal street. Far this work $500 was set eside last year Being interrogated, Mr. Harrell said some macadamizing had been pot on the street, and other streets in the First ward needed money more. For paving Alley 3 aod the construction cfa sewer, $350 was allowed. When the item of $2,961.24 for coming and gatters on the Island was reached, Mr. Maxwell asked lor and obtained, in lien thereof, $2,801 40 to be expend ed as agreed by the Board of Pnblic works on South Penn street. In the old ordinance there was an appropriation of $1,300 for paving Er.ff street, from Elev enth to Twelfth street. Only $400 of this was used, and the Second ward was al lowed $1,400 to pave the piece of street named with fire brick. When the item of $2,548.23 for Island curbs, appropriated last year aod only $700 need, $1,000 was set aside in lien of it, to grade South Broad way, from Virginia to Zaue street On the last year’s item of paving Market street t from Fourth to Fifth, with cobbles, being taken up, Mr. Harrell said that part of tbe street above alley a man t neea any thing bat a little curbing, bnt the rest of j the street was in very bad shape. He j would like $800 for it. This was al lowed. The item of a 12-inch sewer on i Twenty-sixth street, from Chapline to Market street was changed to 18$ inches, ! and $350 allowed. For paving Alley 18, j with brick, from Main to Water, there wan an appropriation ln«t year. It was placed ! to the credit of the Filth ward, for Twenty- j first street, to be taken up later. The Ham of $1,200 wan set aside for the extension of Main street, from tbe ravine north. I This conclnded the nnnsed appropriations of last year, and $16,525 14 had been ap propria*ed out of the ten cent levy tnnd, ami $1,350 from the general fund. These appropriations left a balance ol $17,025 11 in the ten cent levy fund, and $46,149 97 in the appropriation land. At j this stage a commnnicatinn was read from the Board of Pnblic Works, calling atten tion to the condition of the Seventeenth j street bride**, saying it was in an abso-j lately dangerous condition, and >©com mending that $200 he at once ap propriated to lay a new tloor. In this connection Mr. Happy addressed j the committee, siying tbe east pier had j wettle*! abont eight inches in the past fonr months, which snbjectfd tbe bridge to a great strain. The stones of the piers were crashing and falling out, and the bridge was liable to fall at any moment. Hes >h mitted statements from Engineers Hoge, j Smith and Peterson, condemning the j bridge. Mr. Happy was followed hy Mr. Meetey, i who aaid the qnestion woe: Can this. Finance Committee appropriate enough j money to hnild a new bridge < nt there, at j once? Did not the general interests of the i city demand that some brick paving be dropped out ot each ward, and the money ured to pnt up a bridge? He dwelt upon the reports ot the engineers, mid said 1 if the bridge was in that condition had not the members, ascity representatives and not ward icpre- , sentatives, drop eonie pavements and put 1 up the bridge. T^e bridge matter was ; thoroughly debated, and the $200 tor the new floor was appropriated, to be available at once. Then on motion of Mr. Seeley, the snm of $18,000 eet aside for the bridge, the understanding being that the Wheel ing and Harrisburg Railroad Company’s proposition, made to the Hoard ol Public WorkH some time ago, in which they agreed to bnild the bridge in accordance with their regular railroad specifications, was to be accepted by the ci*y. A communication was read from the Board of 1‘nhlic Works, in which it was stated the B. A O. R. R. Co., has agreed to come to grade as given them hy Conncil ; in 1882. On Chapline street, the grade will l>e lowered shoot 12 inches, and at 1 Crnmbacker’s corner, where the ice house stand", about 18 inches, and the Market street crossing 4i inches. The Board stated the cost to the city would he about | $G00. _ 1 The communication was laid on the table. The next matter brought before the Committee was for the paving and curbing of Jacob street, from Forty-lifih to Forty- ] eighth, to complete that street to the city line. Mr. Hchrebe made a long argument in favor of it. The cost, as estimated by the Board, is $4,OG2 Mr. Tracy was op posed to the matter at this time. He said the Eighth ward git $12,000 last year, while the Second ward got but $500 and the First ward $300. Mr. Pollock favored Mr. Schre lie’s re quest. He thought the paved thoroughfare ought to lie rnn through. The mot ion prevailed, the money to come > from the general fnnd. This left $23,947.30 j in the general fund. The First ward was then takeu tip. The total amount asked for the ward was $3, G2G 22, divided among half a dozen items. | The items were allowed. Then came the Second ward. Mr. Tracy j asked for $500 for paving alley C with cobble, from Tenth to alley 7; and a five | foot brick sewer down Twelfth street from Chapline street to the river, $10,508—pro-; posing that th's last item tie divided be- j tween the Second and Third wards.

At a special meeting of the Ladies’ He brew Benevolent Association of Wbeeing, the following sentiments were expressed and adopted in memory of onr much la mented sister, the late Mrs. Pauline Ros enhnrg, who died at the age oi 45 years, Saturday night, May 4, 1889. The demise of onr dear and beloved sis ter, who has been President of our society, has caused grief and sorrow in every heart; it is keenly felt by each and every mem ber, and we all, individually and collec tively, have indeed sustained a great loss, in being deprived of a true and faithful companion and triend, both in joy and sorrow. Mrs. Rosenburg was a true and devoted wife; she was as kind and tender a mother as ever lived, a noble and self-denying sister and a righteous woman in Israel. Her cheerful spirit manifested itself in her untiling face, which even death con Id not take away from her, and with which she bronrht life and sunshine wherever she went. Her death mates not only a void and irreparable loss inlier own much esteemed and beloved family, bnt it is felt through out the city among the various denomina tions, many of whom gave evidence of this during her sickness, as well as at the day of her funeral. We offer onr deepest sympathy to the bereft family, and we pray that God may st-nd them consolation and comfort to bear the visitations and trials of the world with calm and pions resignation as it behooves true Israelites. It was resolved that the foregoing senti ments be pub'idled in the Intelligencer and Register of this city, and the sene be spread on the minutes of onr society and a copy be handed to the family of onr de parted sister.
