The question of buyins the Petroleum exchange or some other property was thoroughly discussed at a meeting of the airectors of the chambsr of commerce held iu tfle rooms of the academy of science, on Fifth street, yesterday afternoon. Reuben Miller, presided iu the absence of President Schmertz. George A. Kelly, chairman of the executive committee, reported that since the fire the committee had been looking around for new quarters, but thought the members might feel inclined, to consider the matter of buying a building oj their own. He laid before the chamber the tinued his questioninz, disconcertinar Chief lligelow more add more all thd time, "Have you jiurclia-e'l the ground at Highland reservoir?" 'As much as aiiy." "Has arjy money heea paid for the Hoeveler property?" "Merely an option has heen given." "Va3 that paper negotiable?" "Mr.

Chairman, I object," interpreted Mr. Magee. As his objection was sustained the kicker ejaculated. "Kats." Chief BigeloW said he was not conversant with the act of 1871, and then Mr. O'Donnell Ceased his questioning, stating that he objected to the ordinance it seemed clear there was 240,000 in it for which the city was not liable.

But Chief 2iigelow did not get off the inquisitorial rack Jus jet, as Mr. Ferguson immediately took him in hand, and he remained beside President JUolliday'a chair with the agonized look of a martyr on his jar; Epidemic of Diphtheria Among the Orphans at the Home of the Friendless. OSLY THREE DEATHS REPORTED SO FAIL Two Little Children in One Family Died Within Two Hours. GRIP ADDIXG SEW YICTIMS 10 ITS ARMY- The Homo of the Friendless on Washington street, near Cedar avenue, Allegheny, is under quarantine on account of an epidemic of diphiheria. There are now four children in the home suffering from the disease, and in the past three weeks there have been three cases which haveie-sulted fatally.

Three of the four cases now under treatment are sisters named Hush, aged 4 aud 2 years. They were attacked wdth whooping cough last week at the Kidge avenue asylum, ami were transferred to the home on ashington street The asylum was free from disease, and several contagious diseases were already at the horn When at the home but one day their sickness developed into diphtheria, aud their condition is now very dangerous. Dr. T. J.

Elterich, one of the attending physicians at the home, said last night: "We have had a number of cases of diphtheria at the home, aud several deaths, but I hope it will not develop into an epidemic. All due precautions are being used, but when we find one case among so inauy, there is no means of Knowing that a dozen of the chiidreu may not ba affected. Whenever a child is thought to have any symptoms it Is at once separated from the rest. To-day I examined 30 or 40 of the children, but so far tney have escaped the contagion. The weather has been the cause of considerable diphtheria, and it has been very prevalent in Allegheny in the neighborhood of Washington.

Maiison and Ki-t streets. Luckily the Homj of the Friendless is not crowded, and the baiidir.g is very spacious, allowing a contagious warU on tho top floor isolated from any other part of the building." A call was made upon Dr. Wm. It. Mowry, the other attendant physician, but he could not be seen as he is coutiued to his bed by sickness.

Miss Speor, matron of the hoinc, when interrogated as to the condition of the home said: "For aim est two months we have not admitted or dismissed any one from the home, except the three little Hush girls that we took from the Kidge avenue asylum, in order to keen that asylum in a healthy condition. We have the diphtheria patients confined to the contagion ward on the fourth floor, and there is no souiniutiicatlon with iho other inmates. We are doing our best to prevent any other cases breaking out. Si far the disease has claimed only the very young children for victims, but there are more than 40 children under 5 years of age at the home. The majority of these ar very susceptible to the disease, a tbe children who are in the home are of a class that possess weak constitutions and they are unable to fight diphtheria." An unusually sad and pathetic scene was presented to the parents at the residence of John W.

Xo. 54 Chatham street, last evening. Lying on the kuow white covers of a bed were two children, aged 2 years and 7 months aud 4 months respectively, upon whom death had laid his cold and icy hand. The mellow rays of waxen tapers shed a comfortless light over tbe scene, aud the broken-hearted mother, weary with nights of watchinz, at sobbing at tho foot, of the bed as if her heart would break. The -ldest child died from bronchitis, and the other fell a victim to whooping coUjjh.

One expired at. 8 o'clock yesterday morning, and exactly two hours afterward the other breathed its last. The two chiidreu will be buried this afternoon at 2 o'clock. Mr. Hill is a well-known employe of the Union Switch Sigual Company.

Mayor Gourley's veto message was a lengthy one. He predicted a deficiency cf at least 5400,000 if the appropriation ordinance became a law. Iu sending back the ordinance be said: "White I realize very fully the improbability that any objection which may be presented in this communication will effect any modification of the ordinance, I nevertheless feel that it is but due to councils and just to myself to state some of the reasons which prompt my refusal to share in the responsibility of this legislation." The mayor thought the Highland park improvements unnecessary, as well as the bridge on Larimer avenue. Iu the appropriation of 500,000 for fuel gas for the water works ho thought could be found another unjustifiable item, because it was a generally admitted fact that coal can bo supplied at a very greatly reduced cost. Mayer Gourley also thought the revenues estimated from the city tax were very much exaggerated.

He predicted a deficit of about 70,000 in the estimated receipts from water rents. In estimating re ceipts from the mayor's office he thought the committee figured 515,000 too high. THEY OBJECT TO THE LAW. LOCAL INSURANCE MEN DO NOT LIKE THE LYTLE BILL. It Will TIo Up Too Mucli Fund.

of Their A meeting was held yesterday afternoon in the rooms of the board of underwriters by the fire and life insurauce men of 1'ittsDurgh to protest against the bill recently iutroduoed in the legislature by representative Lytle of Huntingdon, which, it is stated, is for the purpose of squeezing the insurance companies. The meeting was well attended and much interest was manifested by those present, representing both life and fire insurauce. Major W. G. McCandless presided and li A.

Woods acted in the capacity of secretary. The bill was read aud thoroughly discussed, and the meeting decided to write to the representatives of the different insurance companies throughout the State and urge them to use their influence with the legislators from their districts, to have the bill defeated. The measure is house bill No. 428, and when Mr. Lytle introduced it he took special pains to mentiou that he did so only on request, and that he was not the father of the bill.

It provides that in case of a loss, insurance companies shall deposit with the treasurer of the Commonwealth the amouut of the policy and 10 per cent more to cover expenses. This deposit is to be made with the State treasurer, and held by him until the loss is adjusted. P.y this plan, if a fire entailing a loss of a few huuured dollars should occur in a building on which there is a policy of So, 000, the owner could compel the insurance company to deposit 3,500 with the State treasurer until the lots was adjusted. With a policy of life insurance in the sum of $10,000, which m-iy have lapsed after one or two payments, and hoe value as a death claim would probably not more than f'JoO or an ignorant or dishonest claimant under this section could immediately compel tho company to dposit the tace value of the policy, 10,000, and in addition 10 per cent for expenses. The great objection to these provisions i-i tho immense amount of money it will keep tied up for tho inuranoo companies.

The large uutuber of claims constantly coming up for settlement would require imtnene depovts to be made, and the companies would become involved neriously. There aro othr objectionable feature of the bill, and the iuuraoco meu of the eastern portion of the Stale are fighting it hard. The l'ittsburghers have also entered into a determined fight against tiie hill, and will do all iu their power to defeat it. ADM I KIN TIIE ltONNETS. Thousands Snruo and to Got a Peep at Kaufmaims JMsplny.

Thousands of people ye-terday jammed arouiid the window in which Kauimanns' display of Parisian millinery was rhowu. It was almost impossible to force one's way through the crowd on the sidewalk in passing up and down the street. The number of people that viewed the display varied at different hours of tho day, but was so enormously beyond anything that has ever greeted even so popular a display a.1 ladies' bonnets as to be very gratifying to the firm. Kaufmann's haveassured the reputation of being tho most popular ktcre for ladles by adding to their many departments a full-iieilged Parisian millinery stjre. Miss Ethel Liirker cf London, who has been successively connected with the establishment of liobert Heath, London, bounet-maker to the royal family, aud with that of Xtedfern iu New York, has beeu induced to come to Pittsburgh to take charge of the new department.

The iy of unbecoming bonnets may bo said to be over, for Miss Parker makes of each customer a special study, constructing for thuin such a chapeau as will bust Ruit their especial stylo. Tho number of women who have alrealy been arrayed bewitchingly for Eatr is legion. They have been charmed not only by tho beauty of their bonnets, but by the astonishingly low prices asked for them. Moreover, their husbands and brothers have been pleased with their rela-tives' new headgear, somrthing never before known iu tho history of lemiuine Pittsburgh. When a man can pick no flaw iu the price or apiearance of a bonnet, one may well believe the milluuium of millinery has ct in.

Miss Parker has full chargu of the department, and will make several trips to Paris every year in order keep up ith the Fieuch fashions. Curiosity is taking hundreds of women to inspect tho Kauimanns' bonnet department audits clever little directress, but those who ko to criticise iu variably remain to admire and buy. 'lhe display of hats In Kaufmann's window are such as have never been oflnred for view in any other store window in the city. The handsomest hats, however, are neatly put away upstairs, where they are brought out for the special admiration of appreciative An exqtiisitoly fitted up waiting room for ladies is one of the features of the new department. In this cosy apartment, commanding a view of both Smithfield street and Fifth avenue, ladies can wait comfortably while their hats or bonnets are being constructed.

It is a notable fact that yesterday's list of customers included the names of some of the first society women of the city.

Mr. Warmcastle here interrupted with a point of order that Mr. Keating was becoming personal. The chair sustained the point. He then re-read the message, stopping here and there to show where the mayor had erred.

Taking up the paragraph relating' to the deficiency, Mr. Keating showed that instead of being a deficiency the amounts represented by city and water taxes uncollected each year, which Went into the hands of the delinquent tax collector, were really an asset, the payment of which was simply deferred. Referring then to the mayor's remarks on what was expected from curative legislation, liquor licenses and a number of other points.Mr. Keatiug agreed that there wa3 nothiug absolutely certain, but these were just about as certain as anything else, and it was as safa to count on them. As to the parks, there were two items for the purchase of park property.

One of $42,086 40 for land purchased at the Highland park, and about $37,000 for the various contracts with Mrs. Schenloy. As to the latter, if it were not paid when due the agents of Mrs. Schenley could just keep the the city had already paid and then enter suit for damages against the city for trespassing on the park property and cutting it up with roads. The 42,000 for Highland park was to purchase property upon which the city now held options.

Mr. Keating could not understand the opposition certain couuc.lmen were making against parks. Dr. Evans here interposed to ask if any citizen could not go into court and stop the purchase of park property if the point raised by the mayor proved to ba correct. "res, if that is correcr.any citizen could, but none will." "How do you know they will not?" "Because no man will care to take such an unpopular step simply for his own sat isfaction.

It would cost any man who tried it some money and a groat many friends." Mr. Keating said if the appropriation ordinance were passed he would ftake his reputation that at the end of the year outstanding warrants would not exceed what they were at the beginning, 3ia2.0d0, and he would be surprised if thoy were even half of that. Dr. Evans regretted that the chief of public works had not attended to his busi ness better, and avoided placing councils in such an ugly position in relation to park Councils supposed Mr. Bigelow had studied the matter and was prepared to do as he jisheL They took his word for it and bought the parks, and now nud iney bad no law tor it.

it was strange that the paid officials did not perform their duiies better. A discussion arose here between Dr. Evans and Mr. Keatinj, the latter asserting that he had no doubt when the proper time came plenty of law could be found to upset the act of 1871. Mr.

Warmcastle took the floor to announce that he intended to vote for the veto and why. He referred to the rapid action of councils in passing the ordinance last Friday. Mr. Robertson raised the point of order that the veto was the only thing under discussion, to which Mr. Warmcastle retorted: "I don't know anyone more economical of time and less of money thau the gentleman from the Thirty-fifth ward.

His desire to oppose a seriatim consideration of the appropriation ordinance last Friday was not so much economy, however, as that he was afraid to take the lid oi" WANTED M1LLAGE INCSEASED. Mr. Robertson declared he was not afraid. Mr. Warmcastle said the chiefs of departments had not acted properly in not submitting detailed reports with their estimates.

He demanded that the millage be iucreased to meet all convenient expenses without taking the unpaid taxes into consideration. Mr. Keating repeated his statement that there would be no such a thing as a deficiency. Mr. Lainbie thought that if he had prepared the appropriation ordinance he would have cut down some of the licrures considerably.

There was 100,000 for free bridges that would not be needed this year, and 590,000 appropriated for fuel for the water works which, if the councils would attend to their duty, would not all be needed, as coal could be had for $00,000. Dr. Evans said he was opposed to tho electric lichting appropriation, aud thought the city should have a plant of hor own. The roil was called, aud the ordinance passed over the mayor's veto by a vote of SO to 2, as follows: Ayos Mossrs. Anderson, BenzBitider, Brophy, Collins, Doyle, D.

1. Evans, Foster, Frauenheim, Gillespie, Henderson, Jons, Keating, Eambie, Matthews, Miller, Murphy, McCoril, McCurry, McKinley, Paul, J'erry, Robertson, Rohrkaste, Treusch, Warren, Williams, Wilson and Ford 30. Messrs. Warmcastle and C. Evans 2.

Mr. Trensch, being the only member of select council to vote against the original ordinance, explaiued his voting for it this time on the ground that it would bj unjust to the city's interests to delay the ordinance longer. Mr. Magee's resolution authorizing the city treasurer to extend the time for receiving taxes was adopted. Mr.

Warmcastle voted against it, saying he thought it illegal. Every ingredient employed in producing Hood's Sarsaparilla is strictly pure, and is the best of its kind it is possible to buy.

SUPREME OFFICERS WILLING TO PAY ALL Attorney Robertson Instructed to Go Ahead With the Suits. I ONE THOUSAND PEOPLE POORER AND WISER. A more disgruntled aud remorseful gathering of people never assembled than the crowd wnich last night filled the hall over the defunct Lawrence bank, corner of Cutler htreet and Penu avenue. They were the members of the Lawrenceville branch of the Universal Order Co-operation meeting for the purpose of getting back three weeks' assessments which they claim would have been appropriated to the use of certain Philadelphia parties had their secretary refused to remit the money to tho supreme branch. Last night witnessed the last of the order, as fur as this city and Allegheny are concerned.

Meetings were also held by the Southside and Allegheny branches, aud the members were returned the few dollars withheld by Secretary Murphy. The charter members have paid In as much as 18 and 520, which thoy never hope to recover. Tlie membership included some well-known people of both cities, who it might bo supposed would see through the scheme before being taken In, but the rank and file Of the organization is made up or the working classes, beside a large number of widows with families, who can ill afford to sustain even the loss of $20. At the Lawrenceville meeting ist uight a scene was enacted that would move tbe stoutest heart. Seated at a table on one side of tho room was t-ecretary Murphy with an assistant.

Ou a table before him was a box containing envelopes inclosing the small sums to lie returned to ho members. Seated around him patiently waiting their names to be called the victims. An expression of utter dejection marked the faces of the poor widow members, while the men stood in little knots in the big room discussing their chances of securing their money. According to Mr. Murphy's ab 'iit Sl)j was returned to the members of the three branches.

Before the disbursement a meeting was held at which Mr. Murphy did all the talking. He said that Attorney S. S. Eobertson was iu Philadelphia, and had presented thir claims.

An effort would be made, hesahl, to r-ecure the indictment of the supreme officers for fraud. One member suggested that a vote be taken to docide whether the overture of the nupreme officers be accepted or rejected. Every one present voted to reject the ofi'er. Secretary Murphy was instructed to communicate with Attorney dirtson in Philadelphia and instruct him to proceed against the supreme officers, as no compromise would be accepted. A bitter fight will be made to fcecure thn conviction of the principals.

Willock said: "The whole thing is a lie from beginning to end, and the author of that publication only showed his utter ignorance of the subject. In the first placu tho We.u-inghouse interests do not own a dollar's worth of East End Electric Light htock, aud it would be impossible for them to dictate the policy. Mr. Kowand is still president of the company, und has not been deposed. Furthermore, I have mt beeu elected president of the compauy.

I was elected vice president at the annual meeting, aud by virtue of my position administer to the company's affairs during the president's absi tica Mr. liowuud has been unable to attend the duties of his olVice on account of Mckness, and the affairs of the company fall to my care, I also wish to deny the statement that President Rowaud was removed from tho board of directors and H. Myers put in his place. Mr. Myers was elected to till the vacancy caused by the resignation of Edward another fact which shows the utter falsity of the publication.

Mr. Rowand i still presidunt, and from all appearances will continue ho for some time." Director Myers eaid: "It is all wrong. I did not succeed Kowand on the board of directors. As to the matter of ids deposition, 1 can nay- that it is untrue. Mr.

Ilowand has resigned, and Vice President Willock will taUecharge of tbe company's affairs for the time being. His resignation was owing to ill-health, aud he will iu all probability resume the preiddeucy when he recovers. What Vice President Willock says concerning the Westing-house people I can indorse.

FLEMING SON, PKUGG1STS, 412 Market Cor. Diamond, PITTSBURGH, At the lowest price consistent with good quality aud honest quantity. Quarts, $1, or Six fir $5 jkilii-liii in countenance. "What is the reason for an increase for fuel this year at Brilliant station?" began Mr. Ferguson.

"Last year the contract was awarded at 6 lower prioe than the bid. This year we expect it will cost more. That is merely sxn estimate." "Didn't the Pittsburgh and Cleveland Ga-i Coal Compauy have a bid iu tor ooo?" "Two years ago they had. At that time we were pumping 22,000,000 daily, this jrear we are pumping 40,000,000 gallons." Mr. Ferguson eaid he was satisfied with the information he had obtained.

In regard to the mayor's veto if every member of council had gotten an itemized statement the same as the mayor they could have acted intelligently. He was satisfied that there was hardly a member of councils who could tell how many firemen the city employed, yet they camo into the chamber and in les than half, an hour voted, way Allegheny appropriated $145,000. and they have an electric plant over there. "And it doesn't light the city," exclaimed Mr. Magee.

"That's an after consideration," re-. totted Mr. Ferguson. "If Allegheny councilmen had only attended to their duty they would now have a lighted city." At this the lobby stamped and clapped their hands. AN IXECTEIC PLANT WANTED.

"What we should do is to build ait electric plant. In every engipe or station house they have their incandescent lamps. They are getting very dudish and perhaps they will want some one to wash their hands after awhile. They want $175,000 for lighting the city and $91,000 for fuel when they can get coal for 150,000 and have the furnaces charged with it. As for parks it would be better to let them alone this year.

The mayor's reasons for -vetoing this ordinance are good. It looks to me as though every man came here with a knife to stab Mayor Gourley. I don't know the reason for this, but I think Mr. Gourley is a good friend of the citizens." Mr. Flinn said the increase in the light appropriation was made on a demand from every Southside councilman.

He thought it a wonder that they were not growling over the appropriation cf for free bridges. Mr. Magee said the idea that they were Toting away $4, 500,000 was wrong. He then pointed out items for salaries, tite department, police, education, charities, and other things aggrepating 1,483,390, whica the city had to ay. He presented a caper which was read, and was as follows: "In the recent decision of the supreme court that body holds the city is liable for the btreet improvements made under the acts of 1887 and 1889, and that they are unable to furnish the city any relief, as the legislature is the only body that can do so.

And, further, that they had hastened their decision so that the legislature might during its present session have the desired opportunities. "Acting on this suggestion the financial committee and the councils have estimated that under the curative legislation so suggested Pittsburgh will receive from assessments against proposed benefits a sum approximating the appropriations made necessary by the supreme court decisions. Now it is held by the controller and the mayor that these estimates will not ma- terialize in the shape of actual money during the fiscal year. Even if this should prove true, the reductions which can be made in next year's appropriations on this account are the amounts included in appronria- Hons Nos. 37, 39 and 40, aggregating and the appropriation to the public parka will be at least $126,801 40 below the present year.

If nothing at all should be received from the street assessments the highest deficiency claimed will be more than met by a reduction of appropriations already in sight without increase of the tax levy. WOULD VOTE TO PASS IT. "While, if the reasonable expectations of the finance committee are realized by the receipt of the money estimated, there should be a reduction in the tax levy equivalent to at least one mill. As to the particular items in the appropriation ordinance objected to by the mayor, I believe them to be right, and for the benefit of the community, and for these reasons, Mr. President, I shall rote to pass the ordinance, notwithstanding the objections of the mayor." Mr.

Russell said that in view of Mr. Bigelow'a statement that the money for parks was not to be paid until ordinance were passed authorizing tbe same, he would prefer to wait until the law is passed, and he would therefore vote to austain the veto. A call for a vote was made. Those voting to pass the ordinance over the mayor's veto: Messrs. Angloch, Bigham, Brown, Williams, Crawford, Donley, Delaney, Dunn, Elliott, Ertzman, Flinn, Fox, Gallagher, Groetzinger, Jarrett, Johnston, Kelley, King, Larkin, Lowry.

Magee, Mullen, McClure, McEldowney, McGoni-gle, O'Conner, Pitcairn, Pfeifer, Shannon, Stewart, Taggart, Vogt, Wallace, Wilson, Wright, President Holliday total Those voting against the passage were Messrs, Brewster, Ferguson, Metcalf, O'Donnell and Russell total 5. Mr. Magee ottered a resolution extending the time for payment of city tax from March 31 to April 10, which was passed, after which council adjourned. IN THE SELECT BRANCH. In select branch Mr.

Robertson presented an ordinance providiug for the letting and awarding of contracts for public work and supplies in the different departments of the city. The ordinance was referred to the finance committee. This ordinance authorizes the chief of each department to let the contracts in public, in common council chamber, to the lowest and best bidders, a record to be kept of all Kuoh contracts, and no contract will ba binding until it has been approved by councils. President Ford received from the clerk of common council the mayor's veto, which he read. The appropriation nance was read by title, and the question, "Shall it be passed nothwithstauuing the mayor's veto?" was presented.

Dr. Evans said that for 15 years he had heen present at the consideration of the appropriation ordinance, and there was always difficulty, becau-e the document was presented so late that there was no time for full and careful consideration of a bill appropriating 500, 000. Last Friday councils had passed, on the word of the finance committee, this ordinance, without time to consider tuo details of it. The mayor had a little more time, and the result was his veto. Councils should adjourn and consider the veto for 24 hourjf.

He asked that the chairman of the finance committee would first explain why it was that this great haste always came with the consideration of the appropriation ordinance, and then explain what grounds there were for passing tbe ordinance over the mayor's veto. Mr. Lambie ecouded him. Mr. Keating remarked that neither question was strictly to the point as applied to him.

lie did not think there was vjr member of council but who could.
