Strong Opposition, to the Pittsburgh MatistleUl Hallway Ordinance May Avail Nothing. The army of protesting pre perty dders aeainst the placing of elevated tracks for electric street railway purposes on Ferry street has been augmented. hen the committee cf public works meets 011 Tuesday afternoon to consider the ordinance, a delegation composed of some of the leading members of the congregation of St. Mary of Mercy, lather Sl.eedy's church, will be present and join with a number of other property-holders in the light against the so-called street gobble, lather fcdieedy at first declared that he wns not opposed to the build-iiiiT of the line along that thoroughfare, but his flock feel differently over the matter and ill turn out in force to lile tiieir protest. This move has changed the gentleman's former views on the subject, and he now stands yyith the eppositon.

Mr. Paul II. Hacke, Mr. Morse, the engineer of the new enterpi ise, and others interested in the scheme called upon ather fcsheedy on Saturday and endeavored to persuade him that the proposed liae would benefit the church prop- erty. hot the mission was unsuccessful, ns the pastor yvili stand by the people.

The elirt trade by the friends of the road to prove that the enterprise was opposed almost solely by the Hebrew" property holders of the street, some of horn, it is alleged, rent their brmes for immoral purposes, has fallen somewhat flat, as it has been shown that some very prominent and highly respectable property holders are on the side of the anti-elevated road. On the other hand the friends of the project claim that there is r.o doubt but what, the ordinance will be passed ultimately, no matter how vigorous the protest may be, as it is one of those, measures which is slated to go through, as the powers that be have -en seen and are satisfied that the scheme is all rijiht. Had a i-juoruui been present at the meeting of public works committee last Friday it would have passed the commiV.ee almost without a dissentir.g vote end would been called up at a special meeting which yms to have been called for that purpose to-day, but tlia taiiute to have a quorum has postponed immediate action. Mr. Hacke in another interview on the subject ai i that the new line would put into the market one of the grandest spots for sites for line residences is this part of the state.

The entire county back of Mt. Washington extending for miles was especially adapted for this purpose. These were taole lands of SuO and Suo teres each, divided by gently sloping ravines, and these eon! 1 be divided into palatial irrouuds for the homes (f the wealthy, and there would also be un elegant opportunity for the poor man to secure a btiiioiug lot at a very low price, and yvhieh by lis newj-ystem of rapid transit would bring hisn within filteen minutes' ride of the business center ot the city.

As the result of a tight between Andy Kishel, John Caback and Joseph Patrosk, Slavs, last eyening the latter is now in the Seventeenth ward police station suffering from three bad knife wounds which were inflicted by Kishel. In the house, which is siluated 011 Natrona alley, between Fifty-first and Fifty-second streets, all the men board, Kishel upstairs and Patrosk and Caback down-Mi rs. There has been some rivalry between the men for some time, and wlien Kishel was going to the upper portion of the house last evening one of the men made an insulting remark. This led to a general fight, during which Kisel pulled out a large knife and cut Patrosk three times.

One large cut under the right arm is the most serious. He was also cut on the forehead and on the left hand. Otheer Miiliiolland, hearing the noise, made his appearance npon the scene and placed the three men under arrest, TII 13 lit! IS IYSAXE. Peculiar Actions of a Wetd Find Grain Dealer. N.

F. Cunningham, a well-known grain dealer of the est End, was placed tiie Thirty-sixth ward police station yesterday morning and an attempt ill be made to send him to Dixrnont. At one time Cunningham was interested in the large grain elevator owned by the Iron City Filevator Company of West Carson street, and later built a larsre feed store at 153-155 Main street, West End. About that time his actions became such as to cause his friends to consider him out of his mind. His wife left him on account of Ids peculiarities and since thnt time he has grown worse.

One of his habits was to always ride around on a horse, no matter how short the distance. About two mouths ago he chased Charles Seller, with whom he boarded, out of the house with a revolver. Yesterday a telephone messasre was received by Serueant MeCnrry to place Cunmingham under arrest, and Officer Moean found him attempting to break into his own building. STEAM OL TO-DAY.

Port 1'layed lly tlie Iluhand's Ilelatives. The grand jury of the city of New York has indicted James Bradley ex-health officer Allegheny, and Mrs.

Marguretta Fulton Portsmouth, on a chargo of kidnapping Miss Leslie MeCunc, niece of Mrs. Fulton and Mr. Bradley. Ilefjuisi-tion papers were if.ued last week for the arrest of Mr. Bradley and Mrs.

Fubon. The former were honored by (iov. l'attison and on iflici from Y'oik is noyv in the city with a yi arrant for Bradley's arrest. An attempt was made to interview Mr. Bradley last at his residence, No.

tKj West Diamond, Allegheny, but repeated iu-iiuiries at the home up until midnight were answered with the statement that he had left home about o'clock and had not returned up ui.til midnight. The girl is now about 15 years of age and is stopping with her aunt in Portsmouth, She is the daughter of Mrs. Illizabcth McCune, musie teacher of No. 117 Hast, ifty-ninth street, New York. Her father was Walter S.

McCune, an attorney of Irojiton, now deceased, who was the brother of Mrs. Fulton and of Mrs. James Bradley, the wife of the ex health ollicer. Mrs. McCune was married in I ronton, O.

Her friends say that her husband's hab.ts were bsj, and domestic infjlioity reached the point Leu his yvife demanded a separation. Her relatives opposed the step, butit was finally taken, and the child went with the mother. Given to Father. Subsequently the separated pair made an arrangement whereny the child was td eu in her father's care. He was living with bis relatives yvho prew very fond of I.e-die.

When he died in Irouton Mrs. McCune hi itzd of the fact and went there and secured the little K'rl whom she took to New Y'ork. She supported herself and child by giving vocal lessons. This was jn January V-'S. In March of that same year Mrs.

Me-! Curie and daughter ncr'i living at No. 7ii Fast ldeventh street. The mother had been on the operatic "'a'C under tiie name of Marie Biirvni, and in the roles of Katiha, in the "Mikado," and Canymede in "Galatea," had won distinction. One evening during that month she sent the child to a proccry store. When ten minutes had passed and! littbi Leslie, who was then 11 years old, iid not return she became uneasy.

She bean a search, but con 11 nnd her nowhere. From that time until the present the mother has not laid eyes on her daughter. Mrs. McCune lost no time in hunting for her daughter. Mrs.

Culberson, her mother, made many trips to Ohio in that quest, but without success. Mrs. Fulton and Mrs. Bradley, both sisters of the child's father, disapproved of the latter remainine in careof 1 the mother. Last July the mother learned that Leslie was with the Fulton family in Portsmouth, O.

Mrs. Culbertson went to the latter place and one day saw Leslie on the btreet, but only for a minute, and after that ail access to the girl, wiio is now blooin- ing into womanhood, was denied the old lady. Investigations were started and some time ago James Bradley and Mrs. Fulton were irt-j dieted by the grand jury of Neyv Y'ork for kidnapiug. A witness who had been lacking for some time was found who 6tated that Bradley and Mrs.

Fulton had found Mrs. McCime's residence in New Y'ork and goinir there ayvaited the opportunity. and when the child emerged from the house alone had accosted her. Leslie recognized her aunt and unsuspectingly accompanied her. The presumption is that ihey all left for this city that night.

Ienlel Uy Gov. IMeKinley. Tteqnisition papers for the arrest of Mrs. Fulton have also bee.i issued upon Gov. Mc-McKinley of Ohio, but he refused to honor them without argument which will be held in a week or ten days.

Mrs. McCune was interviewed at her home in New Y'ork yesterday and said that the motive in taking the child away was because the members of the McCune family ob- jected to her separating from her husband. nut bhe claims she was in the fctep, The mother also claims that thu khI's mind has been poisoned against her by these same relatives, rdie said tnat she had posi- tive proof of iJr.idley connection with the kidnaping, as she had that, gentleman's own Bv'uiipsion. written on a letter-head of the mayor's office of Allegheny, that he went to New Y'ork and took the child away. She said further that she hail learned that Bradley bsd been arrested on Saturday.

John B. Mayer, the attorney for Mrs. McCune, also fond that he had hcaid of Bradley's arrest. Both the Pittsburgh and Allegheny police deny ail knowledge of any such arrest having been made. At eu early hour this morning the whereabouts of Mr.

Bradley were still a mystery. JIST Tl.KfcE LESS. The Police lArcak Up a Ti io ofSpeak- The police were kert busy yesterday raid-itig speak-eiisies. The rjtins were conducted by apt. Deuiiiston, Lieut.

1 Wants the President to Assu-ne Extraordinary Powers. Settling the Silver Question Without the Senate Coal Trade Depressed Hy the Uncertainty United. States lilacs Company to Start To-Day. Col. F.

Kend, the wll-tcnowu coal perator, has an idea, which if it were possible to put into practice, he thinks would circumvent the filibustering tactics of the silver minority in the senate and speedily carry iuto elfect tiie ishes of the people with regard to financial legislation. CoL Bend proposes that if it be clearly established that a majority of the senate favors the unconditional repeal cf silver, and the minority refused to come to a vote, that the president suspend the ope ration of the silver law and declare that no further purchases of the metal would be made by the government. Col. Eend admits that this won be an extraordinary us.surnption of power, and probably without precedent, but he thinks the end would justify the means, and says the president would be sustained in such aetion by the people. He gave expression to thi snggestion at Monongahela house last night and thinks it worthy of consideration.

The great coul operator is a studeut of economic questions, and thinks radical measures in the present crisis are necessary to preserve the commercial interest of the country. Speaking of this proposition Col. lleud said "It occurs io me that President Cleveland could assume this prerogative when it is evident that the majority of both branches of congress, in the execution of the will of the people, seek to repeal a law which has worked an 'injury and are prevented from doing so by a dishonest minority, for it certainly is dishonest on the part of hc silver senators to prevent legislation hioh the people demand, aim ply be-eause parliamentary rules are so peculiarly framed as to admit of such tactics. I take it that the intent of rules governing all deliberative bodies is that the majorityahali rule. In this there appears to be no misapprehension as to the position of the majority, fli.d I think it would be expedient for the president to suspend the silver purchasing law.

It is possibly true that the provisions of the law requiring the purchase of silver lis ve been neglected, hut I will go farther and have the president officially declare the iw abrogated. There seems no ether way by which the purpose of the minority can be defeated. "There has been a slow revival in the coal trade, but it will take some time for business to recover. I am informed by representative laoor leaders ot Lhicazo that the working peoy le generally favor the immediate repeal of tiie silver purchasing iaw. I suppose the eatue sentiment prevails here.

They do not want silver to be retired absolutely, but would have it as a subsidary coin. In Chicago there are many thousands still ithout work. Employment has been obtained for a large number, but ail could not be taken care of in this way. The authorities are locking provision for the toaintenauce of the idle workmen. Large sums of money have been fcuhscribed, and they will be eared for ia various ways by public and private HUNTING NON-UNIONISTS.

The United Stales Company Having Trouble in Securing Workmen. Koches ter Men AVon't Come. The attempt to operate the South Seventeenth street plant of the United States Glass Company to-day with non-union men muy not. be as successful as the management of tiie trust has been led to expect. A hitch has occurred in the arrangements with the men, who are said to have been obtained from the non-union works of the Bochesier Tumbler Company, and they will not work for some reason.

It is believed that tha force will consist of two foremen, who refused to come out with the uiheis, and ex-President Daniel liippley, who was once a glass-worker, and wiil take a hau at it to-day to help make as big a showing as jossible. The strikers claim that a high board fence is not needed for a factory or a mill where a full force of competent workmen are engaged. liiey ttunK it wouia oe rather to the interest of the company to permit the inside of the factory to be seen from the street if they can ran the works successfuby. Whore fight ga'ct organized labor is successful and a siitiicieitt number of men can be obtainsd to take the places cf the strikers there is little need for a fcuee to shut out the view. The statement that the combine secured a force of men at Kochester is incorrect nnkis two can be called a force sitfiicent'y large enough to run a glass factory.

A manu-factaerer from Kiverside, W. had been at Rochester for the tame purpose before the agents of the trust ar.d could not get any non-unionists, it has been claimed by the management of the trust that enough men conld be obtained to rnn its Wellsburg factory, Hnd that several onion men would rettr-u to work. The facts are that a large number of the workmen at this factory own stoett in the United States Glass Company, aud it tue same time belong to the ui.ion. They do not intend to go to work, however, until their union wins the fight as its well-fare is of more to concern to them than their financial interest in the trust. Capt.

Atwei-Bou is absent from Pittsburgh. Tt i i lieveJ fie is at Cornuisc, where the big non-union shoo is located, trying to secure men to come to Pittsburgh. MANAGER CARLE RESIGNS. Carie, manager of factories A and of the UnKed States Glass Company, has resigned his place to accept a similar position at 'be Chambers-McKee works at Jeun-nette.

ROBERTS SO i Ccr. FiHn Ay. tr.d Market CURTfl PORT i RO Mrs. Jane Hiil, Sister of Rev. I Nevin Woodside, Drops Dead.

Uody Carried Hack to the House Where an ITovir Before She Ilad Joined in. "Worship Danger of Grade Crossings. Jane IT ill of Baltimore dropped dead last evening in the residence of her brother, Mr. Thomas YVoodside, No, 23S Wylie avenue. Mrs.

Hill's death was a most pathetic as well as sudden occurrence. She is the sister Ilev. Nevin Woodside, pastor of the Tirst Beformed Presbyterian church, Mr. Thomas "Woodside and Mr. Hugh Woodside.

She came to this city two weeks ago to attend the wedding of her niece, the daughter of Mr. Hugh Woodside, on the -1th and has been staying at the residence ot Rev. Mr. Woodside, No. 23 Granville street.

Mis. Hill, although an old lady, being 73 years of age, was very active and cheerful, and made the trip from Baltimore alone. She was to have returned home this morning. Yesterday morning she attended services at the First Reformed church, and all day was in tne best ot spirits. Alter supper number of relatives had gathered at itev.

Nevin Wcodsicie house to pay their respects to the old lady before she left for home. was a family reunion, and Mrs. Hill suggested that they have family worship while many were gathered together. Her request was granted, and she was a fervent participant in the solemn services. Then she left the house to go to the residence of her brother Thomas at Wylie avenue, as she wished to say good-bye to the lu Iter's wife, who is lying very ill with typhoid fever.

Fifteen minutes later the door bell and a messenger announced that the old lady, who had so shortly before left, apparently in the beet of health and spirits, was even then dead. Mrs. Hill had gone la her brother's house, and had just entered the drawing-room when blood spmrted from her mouth and she fell to the hoor. Dr. J.

M. Lee was immediately called in, hut the old lady wr.s dead yvhen he arrived. It is supposed that death was due to the rup'ure of a blood vessel. As soon as possible the bodv was re-moyed to the home of Bev. Nevin Woodside and laid out in the room where but a short time before she had actively led in the yvor-shipofliod.

This removal was necessitated by foers fur life, of Mrs. homas side, whose condition is so critical that the viealh of her sister-in-law is being kept from her, it beine believed that the knowledge would cause a shock that would be fatal. No arrangements have yet been made for the funeral. Mrs. Hill was a widow, her husband, who was a retired merchant, having died several years ago.

She leaves two sons, one a physician and the other a business man, both residents of Baltimore. Mrs. Hill was the Hdest of a family of nine, of which Ilev. Nevin Woodside was the youngest. she possessed a wide acquaintance and had many friends in Pittsburgh and Allegheny.

DROPPED DOWN DEAD. Sad Fate of a Man Attacked Py Ni'uralgia of the Heart. Cochran Hammond, vice-president of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company for the Pit'sburgh dislriet, was yesterday burned to death at Ids boarding house on the Soutii Side. He was carrying a iamp and is supposed to have been taken with fit of neuralgia of the heart. Mr.

Hammond boarded with Mrs. Mary Buddeli Ht 73 ftourh Thirteenth street, Sjuth Side. He came here from Canada a lew months ago. Little is known of the man, as he attended strictly to business and the only bad habit he had was driuK. He Used a great deal of liquor, as he was a victim of insomnia.

Often he took liquor to excess, but never caused any trouble about the house. llis room was ou the second floor, immediately infront of the one occupied by the landlady. He camrf iti soi.ietime after midnight Saturday, and was then considerably under the, influence of whisky. Mrs. Buddeli heard him in his room and then fell asleep.

Ldter in the morning she was awakened by a noise, sounding like a fall. It was in the room her cwu. Siie quickly akened the boarders and together they -vent doyvn stairs, in the corner of the dining-room the dead body of Hammond was found. Part of his clothing was on lire. here was also a slight burned place on the Moor, wher the body had lain.

Hammond is supposed to have been on his way to the kitchen to get water. He had gotten down the stairs all right, and was nearly at the end of his journey when the accident happened, there was no sound after the body fell to the floor, and as the burns were not suthcient to cause death it is thought the man died from neuralgia of the heart. Hammond was aa unusually handsome rnau of 43 years of se, end had a family in Canada. A number of letters were found on Ids person. Some of them from iiis children.

One dsted from 2o4 George street, Toronto, was signed by Violet Hammond. This was written soon after Lis coming to E'ittsburgh, and in it she spoke very lovingly of her father. Another was dated "The Grove" and signed Johnnie Hammond. The boy wrote a very interesting letter, and showed evidence that he had been well educated. The letter was received in September, and in it the sou told the father how the people of Canada were celebrating the defeat of the home-rule "li 11 ia the house of lords.

Another letter was addressed from i0 John street, North Hpuiilton. and was signed by "Maggie." From the tone of the letter this ia thought to be the wife of tlie'dead man, but the stepmother of the children. Both the daughter and the woman were telegraphed by ihe coroner, and he is aw aiting their instructions. A FATAL SYSTEM. Curoner McDowell Condemns the Practice of Placing Watchmen in Towers at Kailrrad Grade Coroner MeDowcll, in speaking to a Commercial Gazette reporter of the killing of William Elliott at the Sandusky street, Allegheny, crossing of the Pennsylvania Company's line on Saturday, said that the system of handling the safety gates from the towers was a very ft-ul ly one and was respotisiole for a number of the fatal accidents which occurred at grade crossings, "This unfortunate man," said tiie coroner, "was found lying deal inside the gate3 crushed by a passing train.

No person, not even the tower watchman, seemed to know when the accident occurred or by what means the deceased was 4'anght i.i this fatal trap. Fatalities of this kin are likely to frequently occur, as the tower watchman by reason of bis position in a loft of that kind cat not observe what is going on at the crossing. Aside from the view being obstructed the watchman is always at the time a train approaches engaged in working the machinery which lowers the gates. This occupies his time and attention and even a heeled vehicle is likely to be caught between tiie gates wiihout his observing it. there is one grade crossing in Allegheny where an overhead bridge should be placed it is at Sandusky street A number of persons have been killed there, and in variably ou account or the watenman tailing to observe hat is going on below while the gates are being lowered into position.

There are a number of tracks there nsed by the Ft. Wayne, Cleveland A Pittsburgh and West Penn railroads. The Pennsylvania Company claims vhit these crossings aro a portion of its yards, and persons killed or injured within the gate are trespassers. This was the defense set up by the corporation at the time of tiie Federal street crossing honor, when a street-Ciir was caught and two or three passengers were killed. If such is the -en -e then the watchman should be placed on the iavei with the street so as to prevent and "warn all rier- eons and vehicles trotn entering the enelo to I i MON-PAT, October 16, Blankets direct from the mill, made expressly for our fine retail trade.

Saturday night an otiieer observed a gentleman navigating the perilous altitudes of Pitts-hurgh's transpontine heights with considerable and somewhat inconsidereii diiikuify.
