lie Sorthsiae His to Ealse Millions to Build Water Works aid Streets. In ascertaining the feeling among Alleghenians yesterday on the consolidation of the county into one city, it was learned that there is a powerful sentiment prevailing in business circles favoring the proposition. The list of merchants and manufacturers who advocate fusion is swelling in numbers. Indications show that the incorporation of Allegheny county into one city is fast meeting with the approval of thinking men. Many piominent citizens who were inter-Tiewed by a DisrATCH rep6rter expressed thetffselves as ready at once to cast their votes at the ballot bor in support of consolidation.

Considerable surprise was occasioned yesterday when the significant fact was developed that scores of Alleghenians who formerly opposed fusion with Pittsburg have altered their opinions and are now on record cs favoring the project Mr. John Thompson, manufacturer of linseed oil in Allegheny, and a resident of that city, spoke as follows on the question last evening: CHANGED HIS MIND. "Some months ago I was opposed to joining Pittsburg, but I am for it now. Pittsburg is rapidly gaining prestige the world over, and it the entire county was included within the oity limits it would be beneficial for all concerned. There is one w.iv to bring the business interests on this side of the river to the front That is to join Pittsburg.

If we are a part of that city then jobbing houses will be established over here, somewhat similar to the arrangement in Chicago. Traders would arrive in Pittsburg, ask where So-and-So, the wholesale merchant, is located, be directed to the north side oi PitUburg, jump on a car and come OTer here. It would advance the commercial interests of the people here, and is certainly the most practical thing to do." Prominent among those advocating consolidation is Mr. Joseph McKee, the Allegheny grocer. He said, speaking of the advantages which would accrue directly to the sister city through that arrangement: "Allegheny is swallowed op in name and in thought by Pittsburg.

I have always favored annexation. Many who were lormerly antagonistic to the union ol the two cities have told me that they are now prepared to back up the propsal to consolidate. AS TO TAXES. "Taxes are actually as high in Allegheny as in Pittsburg. "We pay more in Pittsburg, but get one-third more rent for property, which is practically the same thing.

It is deplorable mat we nave no newspaper or jobbing bonse in this city. In order to cure these ills, the consolidation of Allegheny connty into one first-class city should receive the recognition of all thinking men. I wonld like to see it accomplished as speedily as possible. I never registered myself as from Pittsburg when inditing my signature away irom home, bnt at heart wished that I ronld. Another obnoxious future ot this divided policy is the lact that "jffrias become an instinct among Alleghenians to go to Pittsburg when they want to purchase something.

It is often the case in all lines of goods. When they want this or that article they seem to be influenced by an indefinable desire to get it from the dealers across the river. We should have one and only one city. Let it all be Pittsburg and notbin'g but Pittsburg." The point often raised by those who object to joining Pittsburg is that the taxation in this city is much higher than in Allegheny, bnt this statement is contradicted by numerous well-known property owners who pay taxes in both cities. In order to throw some light on this matte.

Controller Morrow, of Pittsburg, was seen yesterday, and the following opinion elicited from him: GET "WHAT THEY PAY FOE. "The rate of taxation in Pittsburg is 15 mills on a dollar. Property owners receive considerably more for rent than Alle-chenians do, which balances the acconnt I think Allegheny will expect a great deal if she attaches herself to Pittsburg. It will not benefit us to the extent that it will in crease the prosnerty of Allegheny. I think we would get the worst ot the deal.

The addition to our population would not make Pittsburg a first-class city. It would take the whole county of about 500,000 people to do this. The total population oi Pittsbnrg and Allegheny, according to the census just taken, is only about 365,000." Controller Brown, of Allegheny, furnished the following figures: "The city tax proper of Allegheny is 8 mills on the dollar. Then there is a poor tax of 1 mill, sewer tax of one-fourth of a mill, sinking fund ditto, and a High School tax of one-third of a mill, making in all 9.83 1-3 mills." Superintendent o. Police "Weir remarked yesterday afternoon: "Incorporate the county and make it a first-class city.

I favor the extension of the limits. If there are not enough inhabitants in Allegheny county to make Pittsburg a city of the first class, then take in a piece of Butler." SIGNIFICANT FIGURES. B. Ford, Delinquent Tax Collector "The thing has been talked of for years, and some day the two cities will be one. There is very little difference in the debts of the two cities, comparatively speaking, and Allegheny will have to contract a debt of about $3,000,000.

A water works for the town will certainly have to be built, and the city will bave to do something in the wav of street improvements. There is not a decent street in the town. Federal street is not paved, you might say. Pittsburg is in a first-class condition. "We have good plenty of water and have plenty xuonev in the treasury." Ex-Postmaster Myler, of Allegheny, observed: "It seems to be apparent that as long as the two cities are divided we will not have ree bridges.

If they were merged into one municipality we could go belore the Legislature at Harrisburg, state that there is no reason why people should be compelled to pav toll to cross bridges in the heart of the city while going from one part to another, and thus secure some action toward having the bridges appraised and purchased by the peonle. This will be dit-ficnlt to do so long as Allegheny and Pittsburg are two distinct corporations." AMEGHENY IS UNKNOWN. Mr. E. Holden, the druggist, in commenting1 on the matter, mentioned a new teature in connection with the cabe.

He said: "When we have goods sent to us Irom New York, marked Allegheny, they are invariably shipped by a roundabout course, arriving; here a week or ten days later than if they were directed to Pittsburg. People in other parts of the country are apparently uncertain as to the location or Allegheny, -which is little known outside of the local limits." Mr. Bachman, the Federal street tailor: "I think it would benefit Allegheny to go in with "9os. sentiment is echoed by Mr. J.

Gibson, the grain and feed merchant, on the Diamond. He said: "Consolidation has rst-class advantages." Mr. Joseph Maginniss, hardware merchant, said: "I believe in the fusion of the -entire county for the benefit of the community at large." Mr. James Anderson, plumber, on tied Diamond, said: "I consider the proposition to annex Allegheny and the surrounding country as a good plan from a business point of view." IT "WOULD BOOM BUSINESS. Interest is growing among Ohio street merchants in the direction of incorporating the county.

Mr. George Barratt, the boot and shoe dealer, said: "Business would spread over here if we were one city. Pittsburg is cramped for want of space, and if it were once known that Allegheny was a part or Pittsbnrg, business would branch ont mora in this direction. Consolidation is a good thing." Mr. C.

Schreiber. the hotel keeper, said: "It is a firt rate scheme, and I would like to see the whole county become one city." Mr. P. P. Thomas, furniture dealer.

Fusion wonld be a gain to both cities. Mr. Eisenbeis, shoe dealer I voted against annexation years ago, and often thought afterwards whether I hadn't made a mistake. I would vote different now. ALIVE TO ANNEXATION.

Lendloc Citizens or Piiisbnrc Favor Connty Consolidation They Claim Ihe Interests of Allegheny Will be Advanced Eqnal Distribution of Taxes Considered. "Well-known Pittsburgers expressed themselves yesterday as being in favor of taking the whole connty in as one city, in order to give the prominence that is due the population and resources of this community. H. K. Keteler I am heartily in favor of annexing the whole county to Pittsburg.

James Flood I am in lavor of taking the entire connty into the city. C. A. Edsoll I would like to see the en tire connty annexed; I think it would be of advantage to business and want to see this place properly represented abroad. George I want the whole county taken in so that we may have the prominence our population and resources should give us.

Captain Thomas E. Kerr I am opposed to the annexation of the entire county, but In favor of consolidating Pittsburg and Allegheny. County Commissioner Mercer "With an equitable distribntion of the burden of taxation I would favor annexation of the entire county. Some kinds property can stand more taxation than others. The laborer pays what seems an enormous amount of tax on his little lot and house, compared with what farmers pay, bnt they pay all they are able, and they are burdened unduly, compared with corporations.

Valuations, too, are ridiculously made. Take, for instance, McKeesport, with a valuation of 53,000,000, which ought at least be $15,000,000, possibly 520,000,000. The system works hardship, and some wide-awake business men in McKeesport are ashamed of the showing the borough makes. "With such classification, of course some classes of property mnst bear an undue burden. In this city much property it valued at fnll price, and at McKeesport, for instance, at but one-fifth, at most The taxes farmers pay seem lelatively Bmall in comparison, and yet they are much larger than those paid by corporation." ABOUT HALF A MILLION Is the Estimated Popolntlon of Allegheny Connty Poor Remuneration for the Work Another Inlormnttoa Made Eleventh Census District Figures.

It was stated at the census office yesterday that the enumeration for the connty wonld not exceed 500,000 people. It is exceedingly difficult to give even a fair guess, but the returns so far received indicate that the total will be about a half million. All the districts in the connty have been heard from except two or three; the enumerators of these districts had unusually large districts assigned them, hence the delay. All the enumerators will make their final reports in a few days, and then the official count can be aseertained at a later period. The work has been well done considering the remuneration.

Very few of the men encaged in the work have averaged 52 per day, while it is easily worth at least 55 a day. The men employed have been in almost every case competent ones and cnuid make better wages at other work. It is estimated that the enumerators iu this district will receive about 525,000. J. A.

Clugston, the enumerator of Patton township, made information against Marska Gabar, a Hungarian boarding housekeeper, who relused to answer the question. A warrant was issued ana placed in the hands of Marshal Harrah. The defendant would not answer or permit any of his boarders to answer. Dr. "William Denny, of Claysville, the Census Supervisor lor the Eleventh district, was in the city yesterday, and said the work in his district would be completed in a few days.

Only one enumerator, J. C. Bailey, of TJniontown, Fayette county, reported any retusal to answer. Mr. Denny says the number of inhabitants of his district will probably reach 300,000.

The Eleventh district embraces five counties, which will, it is estimated, show the following number of inhabitants: "Washington, Greene, Beaver, Somerset, Fayette. 60,000, and Westmoreland, 75,000. These figures indicate a considerable increase over the census of 1880, and will show a healthy growth in the last decade. ACCEPTED THE SITE. The World's Fnlr National Commission Decide on the LnUe Front.

Chicago, July 2. The "World's Fair National Commission this alternoon formally accepted the joint site, consisting of the Lake Front and Jackson Park, as the location for the Columbian Exposition, by a vote of 78 to 11. This conclnsion was not reached without much discussion. In fact, when the question came np the opponents the bill as offered by the local board ot directors seemed to number about as many as the advocates of it Various resolutions and amendments expressive of the views of individual commissioners, were offered; but alter the commission had listened to detailed explanations by the directors, a vote was taken on the proposi tion 10 accept me me as tenuerea witn the result above given. Belore this matter came up a communication was received Irom the Rational Dairy Association asking that such special consideration be given to that interest as its financial magnitude warrants.

A resolution that a committee in this interest be appointed was relerred to the committee on organization. COITFISCATED $12,000. Tbe United States Antliorlties Again After Gun Wo. Mil-watjkee, July 2. The United States Government, throngh District Attorney Coleman, confiscated about 512,000 belonging to Gun "Wa and his managers in several city banks.

This makes it impossible for Messrs. "Wilt, Jaensea and Yum Chung (Gun "Wa) to givebail.and they will probably remain in jail. 'Purity-Stragth-Perfectkm." IrSUPERIOLVV ask Ssi? THE WOEK OF THE DRILL An Industry Not Appreciated in This County by People at Large. MILLIONS SPEKT BOEING HOLES. The Fort Pitt Calls a Halt at Forest Grove for the Present.

A GREAT FACT0E IS ODE PROSPERITY Comparatively few people in this county of mammoth enterprises fully appreciate bow much of its business activity for some years past is attributable to petroleum development. Few even among those who travel through the territory in the southwest of the county stop to consider the enormous expenditure oi money there, and though much of it is lost to operators, it has given a vast amount of employment, not only to drillers but to carpenters, engine makers, rope makers, beside lifting the mortgages on hundreds of farms, whose owners were nnable to stem the tide and compete with "Western and Southern producers. In the Chartiers, Fores. Grove and Cora-opolis districts alone the holes bored reach more than the enormous aggregate of 225,000 feet It would certainly be over 50 miles, and the cost of drilling alone is over a quarter of a million dollars, and the total cost Inlly 5750,000. "While some operators have lost money, it is believed that on the whole the investment has been product of two wells alone, the first Arbuckle and the A.

B. Young, being worth over 5150,000. HAS BEEK OVERLOOKED. "While it would not be a very great task to ascertain the entire cost of development and return therefrom in the comity, no one except census enumerators seems to have paid much attention to the matter. The Chartiers district has been exceptionally good in tbe "matter of uniformity; for, while there are some blanks, there have been a large number of good wells and a host of lair producers which do not make much noise.

They are still getting good wells. The latest are on the May property, some 250 feet south of the O'Brien wells. One is rated at 700 barrels by and 500 by others, and the other, which started off at 500, is said to be making over 200 barrels a day yet The O'Brien wells, Nos. 1 and 2, are still doing good work, though the tools seem to be irretrievably lost in the latter, which hurts her production. The McKee's Bocks Company well is making 60 barrels a day, and the O'Brien No.

3, 80 barrels, and the "Preacher" 100 barrels a day. At Forest Grove there seems to be no abatement in activity, though it is said the Fort Pitt Company has called a halt in drilling and will ior a time devote its energies to cleaning out and putting in shape its present wells, some 15 in number. Development has lately retaken a southeast as well as southwest direction, rigs having been built on Moon run. having hard luck. The tools have been gotten out of the well on the Nier farm, three-quarters of a mile south of Forest Grove.

Much bad luck has been met with at this well, and fishing has been the principal ocenpation of the drillers for several weeks past The Bridgewater Gas Company's well, one-half mile east of Bobb station, on the Montuur Bailway, is going down at a satisfactory rate at present, though the contractor was forced to drill a water well over 200 teet deep before beginning active operations. At Coraopolis but indifferent success has been attained. Though several wells have been gotten none of them is large. Some people, however, still hold to the belief that good ones will yet be found. But thongh success has been small in getting grease, the development has given the village such an impetus as it never felt before, and storekeepers and land owners have raked in money shekels.

Some two years ago when a livery stable was established some people thought the proprietor crazy, but now he can scarce supply the demand for rigs, and boarding housekeepers flourish like willows planted by sweet waters. Pleurisy pains, asthmatic and all throat affections are soon relieved by that certain remedy for coughs and colds, Dr. D. Jayne's Expectorant SUCCESSFUL CLOSING UP OF A GREAT BUSINESS ENTERPRISE. The Everett Piano Clob List Now Complete.

"We are pleased to announce the fact that the membership of the Everett Piano Club is complete, and at the same time are compelled to say that tbe Everett Piano Company will not supply us with pianosfor another club at the price obtained lor this one. "We have, however, now on the way a carload of pianos which we will sell to oash or short time buyers at the contract price, 5350. These will not last longer than a week or 10 days. After they are disposed of, the Everett piano will cost from 5425 to 5500.
