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. Over
ruled and excepted to. It was then movr-d
to exclnde the testimony of the witness
Wilson. Overruled and excepted to. A
motion was then made to exclnde all the
evidence except so much of J. A. Arkle’s
ns related to the hon»e of a-’t-ignation, and
a part of Miss Bickerton’s evidence, on the
grpnnd that it varied from the statements
of 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 plaintiff objected to any
thing concerning rnmors, and there was a
red hot argumeut over this point. Alter
this had lasted until 5 o’clock, the jory
was dismissed for the day and the argu
ment went on.

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.
The two items were passed in that

In Memorlaii).
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.
