I am induced to believe so because none of our local men seem to be able to compete with those from Chicago and other places when it comes to erecting large structures.

Here are the Park, Tradesmens bank. Mechanics bank, Bank of Pittsburg and several other buildings which are all being erected by outsiders. I know it is not because our men cannot do the work, for they can; but the reason must be looked for in the methods of doing business. The leading contractors of other cities all have a large equipment of hoisting and other machinery, push their men while at work, and do their jobs quickly. They make money by saving time, and do not hesitate to spend a dollar to rush their work.

Our men are conservative; they do their work well, but do not crowd. Besides, there are few of them who have that large capital which is now as necessary In the contracting business as in banking, and when they pay interest on money with which to pay laborers and material men until they can draw on their jobs, they are placed at a disadvantage. Somewhere in this neighborhood will be found the reason why the big buildings are being erected by out-of-town contractors, in my opinion." All-Wool Sultta For a Traveling or; Shopping Dress.

There have been about 10 loads a day-hauled for the past two weeks.

There has been' considerable, garbage dumped along B'gham hollow run, but it has been placed there by private parties, and cot by the city collectors." Richard Kensler, a German gardener. living nearby, said he had no objection whatever, as Ions; as the refuse was covered tip, and said he expected them to haul a big lot and put upon his truck farm this next week. "But," he said, I will pay nothing for the hauling, nor for the plowing. I just gave them the place to put it on." Jacob Staab, Andrew Ries, George Meyers, and others living nearby. when interviewed, said they had no ob jections to offer as long as the garbage was properly covered up, and thought no disease or damage would result if this method was pursued, although the odor was occasionally unpleasant when the wind was blowing across it toward their homes.

THE NEXT MORNING. Pains and Penalties at the Police Court Hearing. It was probably an accidental coincidence, notable only because of the present disturbance in police depart ment matters, that there were three keepers of disorderly houses before Magistrate Doherty at the hearing Sun day morning in Central station. One of the women, according to police testi mony, keeps a dangerous resort at 103 Grant street; that is, a place where visitors are robbed of more than good reputation. She was remanded without a fine, and to-day formal information will be lodged against her as the keeper of a house of ill-repute.

Of the four men arrested at the time the house was raided three were fined $0 and costs each and the other discharged. In another case Nora Smith, of Second ave nue, was lined $23 and costs, and in de fault she will go to the works for 60 days. 1 he third woman. Hannah oods; keeps a place in the rear of No. SO Seventh avenue.

Mrs. James McDade, who created a commotion on Third avenue Saturday night by breaking windows at No. 152 because, as she declared, her husband was there, was discharged, as no charge was made against her.

Oscar ICruse kicked a little boy in a Diamond street restaurant, and will spend 30 days at Claremont as a penalty. Half a dozen common drunks completed the list of cases.

SPXEXDID VIEW FROM ITS TOP. The fact that the inclined plane on Nunnery Hill, Allegheny, has been s'nu: Sown for several days, gave rise to the report that it Is to be closed permanently, for the reason, as was asserted, that it did not pay. Another rumor tiiat grew out of the shut-down was t.iat the Pleasant Valley railway company would step in and bulid an electric line ta top of the hill for the purpose of si-curing the large traffic. A "Post" reporter investigated the rumors yesterday and learned that the incline has been closed for repairs, and will probably resume operations when they are completed. In audition it was lerned that the institution has always been a paying investment, and that furthermore the Pleasant Valley company has no intention of building a line to the top of the hill.

Senator Arthur Kennedy, of Allegheny, is tiie attorney of the incline company, and one of the dozen stockholders. He stated last evening that the incline had been closed down because it was unsafe. This was discovered by an inspection by Civil Engineer Discaer, who built the plane about 10 years ago. When the incline was pronounced unsafe it was shut down, as aside from the natural indisposition rik injuring anybody, the company did not wish to make itself liable for damage suits in case of accident. Senator Kennedy said that he acted on the instruction of O.

P. Sxaife, president of the company, and on Friday ordered the closing d-nvn of the plane for repairs. He sal 1 he did not see why it should not resume operations, as the revenues always paid a rea sonable return on the investment. He intimated, however, that another p.dnt would have to be decided by tne stockholders, and that they would probably hold a meet ing soon. O.

P. Seaife, president of the company, was not to be seen laat nisiit. President Henry, of the Pleasant Val ley street railway company, said they had no intention of building a line to t.ie top of the hill. He said they had a steep enough sra.de to overcome on their own line on Federal street. A report in connection with the matter was that the expense of making the repairs would be Ej much that it would not Justify them, and that consequently the plane woull be abandoned for good.

This report could not be The residents of Nunnery hill are a good deal exercised over the matter, as tiie shutting down of the plane means a long and tiresome walk up the hill. There is a bi. population dependent on the incline for quick transit, an I if it is not given them they will be greatly inconvenienced. The view from top of the plane is one of the Ur.et in this section, and it one t.iat tpuriit: and otat-r visitors are fre quently shown. A splendid bird's-eye view of both Awegheny an i Pittsburg can be "cured, and from certain points, the combination of river and hill is highly picturesque.

In eny case it is agreed that so large a population will no: remain long at that elevation without a plane to carry the residents up. AT ITS OLD TRICKS. The V.

P.s Awful I'uke of a. Central American Enrthqaake. TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras. Sept. 15.

The statement that an earthquake had occurred on lat Sun-lay, Monday end Tueaduy, with a loss of 300 lives, and causing of a church and is without foundation, so Jar a is known in No such earth qnuke has been heard cf here, ard fiie statement 5 made in the supposed dispatch are false in detail. The American public was electrified on Friday last, September 13, by a detailed report in newspapers served by the United Prts of a horrible earthquake disaster which had devastated the little republic of Honduras in -Central America, and. ii was killed 30O of it.s inhabitants. This alarming intelligence was published under date of Tegucigalpa, the capital of Honduras, to which city it was tha news ha 1 been brougiit by courier from the "city" of Vetanan, which, it was said, had been overwhelmed by successive shocks of earthquake, bringing ruin and desolation, while details were constantly arriving in that city of the damage in the surrounding country. Ail day and night, Sunday, it was said, the sho -ks lasted.

"During Monday night, sheets of flame appeared at different point; in the north west." night the shocks and flames made their re-entry in the report, and at midnight "the church tower fell. carrying with it three houses. "Amid much rumbling, which sounued like the heaviest cannon, rocks fell In a perfect like a hailstorm," killing multi tudes and bursting forth in flame in molten lava, the word picture went on to depict the culmination of the awful catastrophe. There was chronicled the destruction of 71 houses at Yetapan. and Ki bodies were already recovered there, and many more Reports from other towns in the interior represented the disaster as spreading over a wide area on a correspond.

The Associated Press realized the importance of accurate information on to appalling an upheaval of nature's elements, involving such horrifying destruction of human life and property, and im-mediately dispatched an inquiry to an absolutely reliable authority on the spot. The horrowlng taie had made its passage througn Tegucigalpa, leaving no or rumor behind. There were no perching hundreds; no showers of stones; no toppling church spires in yhort no earthquake.

FORTY-EIGHT OP THEM EXTERED THREE YEARS AGO AKE STILL PEXDI.VG AGAINST AREAWAY OWNERS. Sunt. Paisley Gives nn Opinion and tbe City Attorney Anotber. DOWSTOWX STREET OBSTRCCTIOXS Three years ago the city of Pittsburg entered suits before an alderman against prominent business men cf the downtown district for violating the city ordinance by obstructing the sidewalks with areaways leading to their buildings. The cases were tried and the alderman rendered decisions favoring the city.

The defendants appealed the cases to court. That was the last heard of them. It is known that they are still pending, but why some disposition was never made of them in court is a question that is creating talk just now, owing to another agitation recently started of a similar nature. A communication to "The Post" yesterday contained a vigorous kick against several of the areaways on Fifth avenue, between Smithileld and Market streets. The writer asks: "What has become of the threatened action on The part of the city authorities to compel the business men to ciose up these areaways that obstruct the over-crowd ed thoroughfares?" or answer, a reporter called upon Superintendent Samuel T.

Paisley at his home in the East End last night. His reasons why the work is not don reveal a rather peculiar state of af fairs. "Since I assumed charge of the work of superintendent of public highways," said Mr. Paisley, "some wonderful changes have been made regarding th-? improvement of streets and the work of ketpimr them in order. The areaways now in existence were built long before my administration, commencing three years ago.

None have been built since then, and none of the city ordinances relating to obstructions have hoen violated that the guilty persons were not punished. Tho public works oliicials have endeavored to remove the obstructions on Fifth avenue and in the downtown portion of the city. We entered suits against fill the owners of buildings who violated the ordinances, and among Trie suits were 4S asainst persons responsible for the areaways. The eases went to court, but were suddenly dropped. We can't do anything until the city attorney disposes of them.

"Fifteen years ago the downtown streets were obstructed in many ways. area-passages were connected with nearly every other building. Finally, councils passed an ordinance providing for an allow.mc? of more space for sidewalks. On Fifth avenue, for instance, ic was greed to have 60 feet across, with an allowance of space for sidewalks from Smitlifleld to Markrt streets of II feet in width. In making the change, the present areaways were started, and they have since been in existence.

"Under the present system the of obstructions on the sidewalks is ixu4ossible. Nine inspectors it re always Oil ii oko-it for violators of the governing ordinances. They take devlded action when proper information of obstructions it received. When builders want to connect anything to their houses which nii.urht prove objectionable thev are compelled to get a certificate from us. None are issued until after the building plans are submitted, and wo are satisfied that no inconvenience result.

"I am particularly anxious to have ail obstructions removed from Fifth avenue. As a result of several of the area-ways much inconvenience is occasioned. On Saturdays and other days when the thoroughfare is particularly crowded, it 13 often impc.fsiUe to squeeze through the narrow sidewalk as a result of the railing. There is no doubt that the cases woul be decided in our favor if they were tried. The supreme court lias frequently handed down opinions on very question, and always in the city's favor.

Only lately Chief Justice Sterrett decided the matter of the bay-window case of Philadelphia. Some of the banking establishments are defendants in tha suits I have mentioned as now hanging fire. What influence was brought to bear in fupprcssing them I cannot explain." City Attorney Moreiand, whose duty it Is to look after such litigation, when seen regarding the matter last night, de clared that as a consequence ot a few decisions retmerea recently by tne preme court, il was inougiu wise 10 arop the suits for various reasons. He inti mated that a little partiality was shown at the time when the prosecutions were made. Where one business man was sued, his neighbor escaped.

However, he says that the- cases are still pending, and may be up for trial some day. A CHURCH ANNIVERSARY. Claysville Presbyterian Conscrenra-tlon Seventy-Five Years Old. CLATSVILLE, Sept. 15.

Bel6-4t STATE COXVEXTIOX WILL, MEET THREE DAYS THIS WEEK IX PITTSBI RG. LOCAL INTEREST AROUSED. Or. McCIelland's Good Work for the Hahnemann Monument. THIS LOCALITY REPRESENTED.

The thirty-first annual meeting of the Homeopathic Medical Society of Pennsylvania will begin In the chapel of the Homeopathic hospital of this city tomorrow morning at 9:30 o'clock, and coiatlnue in session for three days. It Is expected that this will be one of the largest, most interesting and profitable meetings that the society has ever held. Ks membership now numbers over 300 practicing physicians, and more than 100 members are expected to be in attendance at this time from all parts of the state. A very full and complete program has been prepared by the local committee, and papers and discussions on all questions of medical importance have been arranged for. Three sessions will be held daily, morning, afternoon and evening, except 'Wednesday, when a boat excursion up the Monongahela river will be given those in attendance by the county organization.

The meeting is of special local inter- terest from the fact that Dr. Martin, of 1712 Carson street, is president of the state organization; Dr. J. Cooper, of 10a Arch street, Allegheny, is treasurer, and Dr. J.

Richey Horner, of 634 Penn avenue, is corresponding secre tary. Allegheny county Is also well represented in the various bureaus and on the committees of the society. The session to-morrow morning will open with a prayer by Rev. Elliott S. White, pastor of the Bingham street M.

E. church, after which an address of welcome will be given by J. Richey Horner, M. president of the county society, followed by a response from August Korndoerfer, M. of Philadelphia.

Dr. Hugh Pitcairn, of Harris-burg, was expected to make this re sponse, but has written that he cannot be present at theppeningr session. The different officers and committees of the society will then present their reports, after which papers will be read by a number on various topics in obstetrics and gynecology, pathology and surgery. In the evening the presidents annual address will be delivered by William J. Martin.

M. of this city. A special feature of interest will be the report of the committee on the Hahnemann monument fund by J. C. Guernsey, M.

of Philadelphia, state chairman of the monument committee. Three years ago the national society determined to raise a fund to erect a monument to the memory of the founder of the school of homeopathy, Dr. Samuel Hahnemann. This monument is to cost $33,000, one of the finest that money can buy. More than half of the desired amount ha3 already been subscribed, the design has been selected, the contract let, and the monument is now in process of construction.

This fact is of special interest to Pittsburgers. as Dr. J. B. the well-known physician of this city, is the projector and promoter of this enterprise, and its success is due in a great measure to his individual efforts, as he is chairman the fund in the national organization.

The rapid progress of the monument movement in three years indicates the loyalty of that school to its founder. The homeopaths mischievously mention the alleged fact that 10 years ago the allopaths decided to erect a monument in Washington to Dr. Benjamin Rush, thefr patron saint, a signer of the Declaration of Independence. This testimonial Is to cost $73,009, but 10 years of effort, they say, hasn't raised half the sum mentioned, and they also call at tention to. the fact that there ere said to be 100,000 allopaths in this country.

Pennsylvania- expects to take the lead in contributing1 to the Hahnemann monument fund. This monument is Grecian in its style, design, and ornamentation, and, besides serving as a statue of Hahnemann, will be "a fountain as well. On Wednesday afternoon the excursion up the Monongahela will be on the steamer Elizabeth, and the doctors, with their wives and sweethearts, will pay a visit to the Carnegie steel works at Homestead and Diujuesne. Returning from Monongahela City, they wlil stop at Homestead after nightfall, and see the beautiful process of casting steel. During the trip an elegant dinner will be served on board the steamer by the county organization.

Music will be furnished for the trip by Toerge's orchestra." During the session of the society there will be papers on materia medica, sanitary science, clinical medicine, etc. Dr. M. M. Walker, of Germantown, is mentioned as the probable choice as the next state president, and Philadelphia as the place of meeting.

People Xearrst tbe Garbage Damp Are Making Xo Complaint. The report that garbage collected in the city was being dumped la Bigham hollow, back of Mt. Washington, and that a vigorous kick was being made oy the readlents to the boari of health on thii account, was investigated yeterday by a. "Post" reporter. He found that the garbage was being dumped not in the hoi-low, but in the bottom land just below, fully half a mile Mt.

Washington, on a piece of garden land of Philip Frey-lica, in the Thirty-third ward, at the head of Woodviile avenue, in a settlement of Germans known as Shalersville. For the past three weeks live wagons have been hauling the garbage and dumping it on this tract of garden land, where each, evening it is plowed under to the depth of 14 inches. The residents 6tated that only oceasionally in the evening was any odor noticeable, and then only a sour smell. There is no sickness there of any kind at the present time, although a young man had the scarlet fever about two weeks ago, but has since recovered. He was waited upon by Dr.

Thomas M. Ryall, of 29 Wabash avenue, East End, and, as the garbage had not been plowed under, he reported the matter to the board of health. On last Friday Charles Havis, sanitary of Grandview avenue, Duquesne Heights, visited the and, eeeing the method of disposing of the garbage, said that he had no objection to make, and did not think that it would be in any way Injurious as long as it was plowed under in this way. Philip Frey-lich was seen st his home and said: "I am the garbage collector for the Thirty-second and Thirty-tlfth wards, in which Mt. Washington and Duquesne Heights are located, and some weeks ago Mr.

Woolard, superintendent of the garbage collectors for the Southsiue, said that as the garbage furnace was broken down he wanted to know of some place he could have the garbase hauled to. I told him I had a vacant lot they could dump on, as I could use it far fertilizing the ground, and we have been putting It there since. No person has made any complaint to me about ihe matter, although I have heard rumors about the subject. Mr. Havie, the inspeclor.

Si. "This town needs an elevated railroad system for the downtown section, and it needs it mijrhty bed. too," was the comment of a New York commercial man who stood waiting for the procession of cars, drays, vans and other equipage to pass at Penn avenue and Sixth street '-isterday afternoon. The crowd on Croadway is not more dense than It is here, and the difficulties of crossing by pedestrians is not attended with so much delay or more danger. I have been standing here for several minutes, and the way some of the women take risks of being run down here amazes me.

I have noted several who seemed to become confused, and I judge they are not used to so much hurly-burly, but are visitors In town who came to shop and visit the exposition. I notice that the men who handle the levers and brake-wheels on the cars are all bis burly fellows who can exert tremendous strength when necessary to stop a car suddenly, but the risks some of the passers run is positivelv disquieting to one ot ordinary caution." The local theofophUts held their second meeting of the reason at their hea 1-quar'ers on Fourth avenue, last night, and were auldres-sed by I ll M. Hol-braok, of Wiikin-iiurg. She remembers three previous Once she was a prehistoric woman, the -econd time a Persian woman, and the thirl a London society lady. HERE IS A SLATE.

Ticket and Platform of the York RppoblicmiM. SARATOGA, N. Sept. 13. The ticket which will be put in the field by the state Republican convention Tuesday will be: For judge of the court of appeals, Celora K.

Martin, of ham ton; for secretary of state, John Palmer, of Albany; for comptroller, James A. Roberts, of Buffalo; jv state treasurer, Addison E. Colvin, of (liens Faii; for attorney-sreneral, Theodore Hancock, of Syracuse; for state engineer, Campbell W. Adams, of Utiea. The pUtform in substance will affirm these principles: Congratulating the He-publican p.irty upon the dawn of prosperity in the country and state, due to the confidence inspired in the people by the return to power of a Republican con gress; congratulating the country that the conditions are such that the Republican party can p.iiiiti its pictures oi to American industries; condemning the rw.m.w.-i,.

I in declining to act decisively on the menian and Chinese questions, for its inaction on questions of financial policy, lis refusal to 1 rhe old soldier, and i.s disregard of civil service laws; commending the propo.if.1 constitutional amendment to bond state for to enlarge and Improve the canal" indorsing the administration of Governor Levi P. Morton; commending the last legislature in thi attempt to free the great city of New Vori: from the burden of rule by the Democratic rinsr; protecting against free wool, the additional Ux un iHigar, and declaring that the present tariff system, inaugurated by Democrats, is a menace and detriment to the country; favoring an honest dollar and opposing any eir'ort to coin silver free or lower tha currency standard, and favoring an international agreement, which will result in the ui-e of both gold and silver as an international circulating medium. To-night cn the horizon there is a sul len-looking cloud marked "excise." Kd- ward l.autcrbach, Mr. Piatt, Thurlow Weed liarnes, I.ou Payne, Frank Hiscock, Frank Hendricks, Warner Miller and diaries V. Hackett are trying to stay the anticipated tumult.

New York, Kings and i'rie are the three counties where the troublesome cry Is coming from. Mr. Piatt is inclined to believe that on affirmation for the protection of the American Sabbath, and yet favoring more liberal excise laws in same way, the proper course. That somebody from one of the three counties named will introduce a local option resolution is fairly certain. The only other troublesome question is the matter of an enlarged state commit tee.

It is the design of the Piatt forces to prevert the agitation reaching the convention, by forbidding any debate on introduction of resolutions, and alto upon the platform. The anti-Platt forces have decided to make a tight in the open convention by nominating Hon. J. Sloat Fassett for -temporary chairman. The convention, as planned, will meet at noon, and Congressman Sherman will be made temporary chairman.

Senator Clarence Lexow will be permanent chairman and Kdward Ijauterbach, of New York, chairman of the committee oa resolutions. HomVlowev Will Get the Place. WASHINGTON. Sept. 13.
