Tobin, pastor of St. Mary's of the Mount church on Mount Washington, died yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock. He was 39 years of age, and has been a priest for 17 years. He was born in Ireland, and came to this country when very young, receiving his preliminary education in the St. Patrick's school on Liberty street, nnder Father Garland, and his ministerial knowledge in the oil St.

Michael's seminary at Glen-wood. He was pastor of the St. Mary's of the Mount church for six or seven years, during which time he was most successful in his work. He was an able financier aside from his ministerial qualifications, having cleared the church from considerable dnbt during the time he was its pastor. The immediate causes of his death were erysipula and blood poisoning.

Last Thursday he was marrying a couple, and during tho ceremony fell in a dead faint. His fuueral will take place to-morrow morning at 9 o'clock at St. Paul's cathedral. Father James Nash will sing the mass, but it is not yet known who will preach the sermon. Rev.

Francis Keane will bd deacon and Father Thomas Devlin sub-deacon. Father Tobin's mother is yet living, and he has numerous other relatives in the city. His death will not only be regretted by his flock by thousands of friends in the city. THE 11 CCSKI 1ILIO' OEPHAXAGE AND HOME (F WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA. Another benevolent institution will throw open its doors to the relief of the poor and aged in Mew weeks the J.

M. Gusky Hebrew Orphanage and Home of Western Pennsylvania. It is rapidly nearing completion, and when ready for use will fill a want that has long been felt. The publication of an application for charter was made yesterdav for a corporation to control the new institution, and was signed by A. Fink, E.

Weiler, Morris Rosenthal, Charles ZeuescbmUlt, Dr. L. Mayer, William De Wolf and J. D. Bernd.

When the building is finished it will have cost in the neighborhood of 25,000 the gift of Mrs. J. M. Gusky as a memorial to her husband. She has also granted the institution an Income of $1,000 yearly for the present.

The annual income will come in from subscriptions, of which already some 5,000 has been assured. It Is expected the fund will before long reach $10,000 or $12,000 a year. The new institution is situated on the Perrysviile road beyond the Western University and has an acre and a half rf ground surrounding it. Brick with brown stone trimmings is the material used in its construction. It will hare wards for the children arid separate rooms for the aged persons whom it is destined to care for.

Already there are applicants waiting for admission seven orphans, who are at present in the German Protectant orphan asylum, and four or five aged Hebrews who are oared for in private families. Of course every thing of the latest design will be ued in fitting np tlie institution. As the location is beyond the limits of the gas and electric light companies a special gas plant is being built in connection with the in-titution. It will be provided with a hospital department, and is expected to easily house 60 orphans and a dozen or so of aged people. "It will fill a want that has long been felt," said Mr.

Wm. De Wolf, manager for Mrs. Gusky, yesterday afternoon. "No such institution" exist between Philadeli Ilia and Cleveland, and heretofore we have been obliged to ieod our orphans or aged people to the homes in other sectarian institutions or else place them with private families. The United Hebrew lielief Society of Allegheny county has been locking after these matters.

Some time ago Mrs Gusky made them this offer, and it was accepted. She promised them the ground and a home to cost at lea-t but it will bo Dearer $25, 000 when finished. There will be a sufficient endowment fund to insure plenty of care for the inmates of the home and orphanage. Mrs. Gusky is erecting the home as a memorial to her husband.

She has guaranteed it an income of 1,000 per year to start with, and the endowment fund that will be raised by subscriptions will eventually amount to about $12,000 a year." The new institution is officered as follows: President, Sol Cohen; secretary, B. X. Jacobs; treasurer, J. E. Isaacs, and first vice president, A.

Fink. The building was commenced lat summer, io definite arrangements have yet been made relative to the opening. J. MmLOUGH BURIED. VoA MISs HUIenthal, It Is Said, Threw Her self Away on an Adventurer.

The Lillienthal elopement at fsewicltley, a week ago, turns out into a good, first-class sensation. Briefly the case was as follows: Some time ago Mrs. Lillienthal and her daughter were traveling in Europe. While abroad they met a youcg Englishman, who gave his name as Sydney Lascelles. The young man claimed to belong to an old family, and professed to be deeply in love with Miss Lillienthal, and followed her and her mother to this country, where they live in New York.

Mrs. Lillienthal became suspicious of Lascelles, investigated his storv, and found it to be all talse. She then prohibited her daughter from having any communication with the supposed adventurer, and to make it still iafer brought the young lady to Sewickley, presumably to visit some friends. Lascelles followed, and made an appointment with the young lady to elope with him. Just as they were getting into a carriage Mrs.

Lillienthal apfioared on the scene and threatened to disinherit her daughter. The girl hesitated, and Lascelles drew a revolver, and pointing it at her said he would kill her if bhe did not elope. She yielded, and they were married at Beaver. AU the parties are now in New York. Mrs.

Lillienthal, who is one of the richest ladies la the metropolis, says she will have uothlng to do with her daughter. It is generally believed that Lascelles is only an adventurer. BOUND FOU THE BANQUET. Porter and McKlnley Talk on Census and Politics. Robert X.

Porter, supervisor of the census, and William McKinley, arrived in the city last night on the limited from Washington en route to Toledo to attend the Lincoln club banquet this They were the guests of James P. With-erow at the Monongahela house until the departure of their train at 11:20 for Toledo. Mr. Porter, when aked concerning the work of the census bureau, said: want to get the work finished up in two years if possible, although heretofore it has required 10 years to fully complete the report. Features of the report which have previously been neglected will be the river and lake tonnage and the report on fish.

The field work in gathering the total of mortgages is already completed, but has not been compiled, and we now have record of 9,000.000 mortgages. A fact, significant or otherwise, in connection with this i total of mortgages is that the most of them are reported from the business centers "The census work in Pittsburgh was the most thorough and business-like of any city iu the couuiry. It was complete in every respect, and I believe it is correct. I hope to get out a compendium of the 3enus this year." Concerning political matters Mr. McKinley did not speak at any length.

"Reciprocity -with Brazil," said he, has greatly increased our foreign trade, and in due time it will prove itself to be a great success. It is now about to be extended to Venezuela, and in the near future it will be in effect with all the South American countries which abound in rich resources. It is practical, and the people of this country will soon see that by reciprocity our commerce aad industrial branches will be sreatly increased. On the question of Secretary Windom's successor Mr. McKinley had nothing to say.

Claims She Was Defrauded. About 5 o'clock last Bight, Mrs. Dittmar of No. 38 Rebecca street, at Inspector McAleese's office and told the following story. In company with another lady and her daughter she had gone to Kaufmanns' store and made purchases aggregating 3.

She gave a $10 bill to the clerk who went to have her packages prepared, and when he returned refused to give her any change. Detective Fitzgerald accompanied her to the store and called on the Kaufuiaan firm for an believed the statements of the clerk and informed the woman that she could not get any money back. Mrs. Dittmar said she would enter suit against the Kaufmanns unless her money was returned.

ADMITTANCE TO BE DENIED THE LAITY. Pittsburgh to Be Her Home Until Her Novices Are Professed. HER FAMILY SrAREDTUE TANGS OF SORROW. In the beautiful little chapel of the Mercy convent on Webster avenue, where nearly two years ago she pledged her life to God, Miss Catherine Drexel will this morning receive the final vows and dou the black veil the sign that she has forever shut herself from the world's gayeties and has irrevocably decided to devote her life and fortune in aiding the ignorant and needy. At the first ceremony Miss Drexel's family and immediate friends were among the little gathering that watched her take the primal step.

This morning none but a few prelates and the sisters among whom she has worked and prayed iu her novitiate will witness the ceremony. Perhaps it was to lessen the pang of this final, greater parting that Miss Drexel's family remained away. She will become Sister Catherine iu the most private manner possible. No invitations have been issued not even to the clergy of the diocese, and no outsider will have the honor to witness the formal inception of a sisterhood whose work will make it conspicuous before the world. The profession will take place about 7 o'clock this morning.

Archbishop Ryan of Philadelphia will confer the veil. Bishop Phelan will celebrate the mass that is to precede the ceremony. Aside from these prelates only two priests will ba present Rev. Father Stephan, who has charge of the Catholic Indian butea at Washington, and Rev. Father Conway of the cathedral, who is chaplain of the Mercy convent.

As Miss Drexel is to be the foundress of a new order, the Order of the Blessed Sacrament, her profession will be different from all the established rituals, but will vary from that of the Mercy order only in the vow to care for and educate the ignorant and needy Indians and negroes. The Sisters of Mercy pledge themselves to aid the poor, sick and ignorant. She will wear a black habit like that of the Sisters of Mercy, only that it has no train, and will have the addition of a scapular a long, biaok strip of cloth extending from the shoulders to the ground. Miss Drexel has been on a retreat in the convent for the past 10 days, preparing for the serious step she is to take to-day. None of the novices who are ia the convent are prepared yet to take the final vows, and until some of them are ready to become nuns Miss Drexel will remain where the is.

Her principal oonvent at Andalusia, near Philadelphia, will not be ready for some time yet. She is desirous to more fully mature her plans in the place where she has gained her first experience iu the labors and duties of a nun. It may be six months batore Miss Drexel issues forth with her little baud of worker. No especial preparations have been mada about the convent to mark the occasion. The chapel is of itself an elegaut little model.

of ornate architecture and needs no einbidlishments. Everything, with the possible exception of the archbishop's presence, will be ju-st the sLae as when any other young womau is professed. Externally there will be nothing to indicate that the black veil is to Irs placed on a young woman who brings a fortune of 57,000,000 to the church. COULDN'T STAND TOOTHACHE." Mrs. Molllo Moore Trie to Kill nerscit by Cuttlnie Her Throat.

Mrs. Mollie Moore, wife of Joseph Moore, of No. 34 West Diamond street, Allegheny, attempted suicide about 9 o'clock last night by cutting her throat with a butcher knife. She had been suffering during the day with toothache and seemed in great distress. She told the herrant, Ida Schidler, the had a notion to kill herself.

Mrs. Moore put her little son, a child of 8 years, to bed about 9 o'clock and lay down beside it. The servant was in an adjoining room, and Mrs. Mooie called her to bring a butcher knife. The girl refused, and a few moments later went into the back part of the house.

O.i her return she heard the little child cry peculiarly, and going into the bedrooiu found Mrs. Mooe bleeding from to fiightful wounds in her throat. When Dr. Kirker arrived the woman was iu convulsion-). The chiid was covered with his mother's blood.

Yesterday afternoon at the Pennsylvania Female college, Edward Russeil delivered his second Pittsburgh lecture.

The audience comprised the oollega girls, their friends and suoh of the outside world as wished to hear the famous disciple of Delsarte. The aristocracy cf brains as well as the aristocracy of wealth was well represented. Those of the audience who had not previously met Mr. Russell were somewhat surprised when they beheld a modest, unassuming man, conventionally dressed, ascend the platform. The exectation was for flowing robe, rich jewels.

Oriental effects, eta The lecture began at 3 o'clock, and was in the bright humorous style that characterized his first talk. After telling in au interesting way what the Delsarte system is, he said: "One day in Rome I made an analysis of the queen's bow. She passed through the streets id her carriage, and her bow was like a caress. The princess, who was dark and haughty, bowed stiffly and loftily. The people loved the queen, yet hated the princess.

Talking to oue of the court ladies at a lesson given a lew days later, I beard that the princess said to the queen: 'I wish 1 could bow as you do. I love my people, but 1 cannot show them 1 love them as you do. So there are hundreds of people iu the world who have sympathy, kindliness of heart, yet they cannot express it. All their lives they live in prison, of which they are the jailers. They are disliked aud unappreciated, because misunderstood.

"It is impossible to be natural in stylish clothes. Take your choice; have style or individuality. I am ashamed that when 1 wi-h illustration of grace I must go not to man the crown of creation but to the cat. Must men move like jaded, worn-out cart horses? Women don't move at ail." The lecturer here gave some amusing examples of the society woman's mauuer of bitting, which caused everyone iu the audience who felt they had any claim on society to shake herself up into the artist's poe of grace. alking and standing were successfully illustraie.1, and many a haughty dame saw her idol of stately dignity shattered by the lecturer's satire aud clever burlesque.

Oue could tell where the arrow hit by the self-conscious expressions of faces, but r.obody cared much, as the next bolt likely as not levelled a neighbor's pride, Rustsell referred to wand gy muastic-i as "ballet dancing gymnastics." He said it was a form of exercises unptac-tical, as no such gestures come into actual Use. It gave grace without expression and cultivated affectation. "The carriage of the body," (-aid he, "does more ia ex-pressiou than anything else. For perfect expression is demanded control of the extremities the bands, feet and head. teachers do not know enough about physical culture.

Each teacher uliould kuow enough of it to make a physical diagnosis of each pupil, and teach the pupil to correct his defects without knowing he is learning a system. When pupils enter school they are stood up in rows, aud taught to make nonsensical little squeaks wliich is called education. All the grace and expression are educated out of them. The system of marching pursued in our t-cbools is wrong. No two people naturally walk exactly alike or iu the i.aine time, and the effort to make the measured tread audible tempts them to walk on their he ls." Another lecture will be given this morning at 11 o'clock at the residence of Mrs.

A. E. W. Painter on Irwin avenue. Yesterday was Ash Wednesday and the complete cessation of all social entertainments will continue throughout the 4 days of Lent.

VV hiie Lent is especially observed by members of the Cath and Episcopal churches, society people, no matter what their creeds, CJUsider it not good form to iudulge iu ostentatious amusements. Lectures and milder forms of recreation are allowable. After Lent, however, balls and receptions will bloom again aud more enjoyed on accouut of the enforced period ot rest. The season cf email entertainments, both literary and musical, is at baud. Clubs will flourish, and the busy belle will have leisure for a brief space of time to turn her mind to mental improvement.

Slewart's Answer Will Kurt His Own Cass, WAILI) MEETINGS -ASD- LOCAL POLITICS. More illegal votes In the Craig-Stewart contest were discovered yesterday atter an examination of the bailot-boxes of Elizabeth and Mifflin townships. The hearing yesterday was continued in the law offices of W. J. Brennen, and before Kotary Skelley.

It was tally as interesting as any of the preceding, ones, principally because the law quoted by Mr. Brennen on the matter in question led to the custodians ef thaballots surrendering them without demur. The proceeding occupied the greater part of the day, and mainly consisted of opening and examining the ballot-boxes from Elizabath borough, "West Elizabeth, and three districts of Mifflin township. "When the enstodious of the boxes arrived they hesitated about handing them ever to the contestant, and went to John S. Bobb, for advice, W.

C. Forsythe of the Sixth district of Mifflin township was, however, willing enough to surrender the box of which he was custodian, "If you can show me some law to warrant my giving you the box," eaid he to Mr. Brennen, "you can have it. All I want is authority for surrendering the ballots. i Thereupon Mr.

Brennen got down a copy of the revised statute and quoted several sections, which seemed to give ample authority for such surrender as he desired the custodians to make. Section 110 decided before whom such a contest could take place and read: the deadly law quoted. "When- any contestant or returned member is desirous of obtaining testimony respecting a contested election he may apply for a subpena to either of the following officers, who may reside within the congressional district in which the election to be contested was held: First, any judge of any court of the United states; second, any chancellor, judge or justice of a court of record of any State; third, any mayor, recorder cr inlendant of any town or city; fourth, any register in bankruptcy or notary public. Sections 111 and 123 following clearly defined the officers' power. The officer to whom the application authorized by the preceding section is made shall thereupon issue Ms writ of subpena directed to ail such witnesses as shall be named to him, requiring their attendance before him.

at same time and olace named in the subpena, in order to be examined V-. 1 14 'I'. I BSpcUblUJJ but, VUU UIU CltWU. -I officer shall have power to require the prod notion of papers; or on the refusal or neglect of any person to produce and deliver up any paper or papers iu hU possession pertaining to the election, or to produce and deliver up certified or sworn copies of the same in case they may be official papers, such person shall be liable to forfeit the sum of $20, and shall also be liable to an indictment lor a misdemeanor and punished by a fine and imprisonment. .11 papers thus produced, and all certt- or sworn copies or omciai paper, bftau be transmitted by the officer with the testimony of the witness to the clerk of the house of representatives." Mr.

Forsythe was evidently satisfied with this quotation of the law, for he unhesitatingly turned the ballot-boxes over to Mr. Brennen. The other custodians went across the hallway to Mr. Bobb's otlice, and he told them to give np the boxes, which was instantly done, though protests were filed. MORE VOTES FOB ANDREW S.

Having secured the votes Mr. Brennen immediately broke the seals. Five boxes were examined from Elizabeth borough, "West Elizabeth, the Second, Sixth and Bexenth districts of Mifflin township, and a large number of unregistered votes and votes for Andrew J. Stewart found. In the boxes from Mansfield and the First district of Collier township 18 unregistered Votes and seven for Andrew J.

Stewart were discovered at the hearing late Tuesday night. The hearing will be resumed to-day and more ballot-boxes examined. Colonel Stewart's friends nod and wink knowingly when anything is Eaid about the surpring manner in which Mr. Craig is forging ahead. They claim that when their inning comes.they will show that a number of illegal votes bad been cast for Craig.

Mr. Brennen said yesterday afternoon that the contestees would be excluded from any such step, granting that Illegal votes had been cast for Mr. Craig, by their own actions in their first answer and by the supplemental one. "They are strictly confined to the allegations made in the notice of the contest, and in their answer," said Mr. Brennen, "aud in the latter they declared that no illegal votes had been cast.

Section 121 of the revised statutes is clear on this point, I think. It pays the testimony to be taken by either party to the contest shall be confined to the proof or disproof of the facts alleged or denied in the notice and answer, mentioned in sections 10.5 and 100. I believe this fully excludes Colonel Stewart from bringing forward any illegal votes for Mr. Craig, granting that he can find any." Judge James H.

Otto Von Bulow, a grandson of the Count Von Bulow, who was a lieutenant in the army commanded by General Blucher, which saved Wellington from defeat at the battle of Waterloo, passed through the city yesterday on his way to Philadelphia. Von Bulow is a person of about 30 years of age. He claims to be a portrait painter and linguist. He is passing through a period iu his life which might be called a "hard luck" epoch. He is in very destitute circumstances, having come to Pittsburgh without a cent in his possession, very poorly clad, and with no visible means of making money for a while yet at least.

About four years ago he was attending a uuiversity at Innspruck, a small village in Germany.
