The Last Installment Paid, and Mount Ursula's Troubles Ended.

Yesterday Charles II. Taylor of thU city, agent for Mother Alphonse, whose trouble at the Ursuline convent are too well known for repetition, departed for Paris with the last payment due the deposed superioress for her share iu the convent property. It was paid by tbo TJrsuline Land Company, a party of Catholic gentlemen organized to obliterate the debts of ihe institution. Mother Alphonse is erecting a magnificent convent near the famous Bois de Bologne in Paris. The payment of the $25,000 finally settles the differences be-tweeu her and the sisters now in charge.

She was paid altogether to relinquish her alleged claims on the institution. A large section of the hillside at the west end ot the convent gate on Fifth avenue has been graded and the lots placed on the market. OBJECTIONABLE FEATURES OF TOE ACT. It Is Not Compulsory, Though, on Any of the Savings Societies. WHAT A VET ERAS SECRETARY THINKS OF IT.

A bill passed by the last legislature, empowering building and loan associations to borrow money, lias caused considerable excitement among the holders of stock iu the various associations in this city. The bill proposes an amendment to the general law regulating such associations ia this State. It is harmless, apparently ou its lace, but tho-e who claim to be well informed upon all the intricacies of the associations maintain that if the bill becomes a law it will result in trouble both to those who carry building and loan stock as an iuvestmejt, and thjse who carry it for the purpose of geltiug homes for them-telvc. It is asserted that the bill is the creation of certain Pittsbu gh politicians, why are financiers for boodle only, just as they are politicians for boodle. The following is a copy of the bill: Be it enacted by the senate and houio of representatives of tho Common wealth of Pennsylvania in general assembly met and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same that in addition to the corporate powers conferred on building aud loan associations by the thirty-seventh section of the act of April 2S, lf74 they shall have the right when applications for loans by the stockholders thereof tdiall exceed the accumulations in the treasury to make temporary loans of such sum or sums of money to meet such demands not exceediug iu the aggregate of such at any time lifteen thousand dollars (15,000) at a less rate of interest than ii per centum, and secure the payment of the aiiie by note, bond or as signment of its judgments aud mortgages as collateral, said loans to be repaid out cf the accumu.ations in the treasury as sood as sul'icient is in and there is no demand theretor by harrowing stockholders.

J. C. Kobinson, ho is the secretary and treasurer of several building and I oati associations, when asked about the bill yesterday slid; "Tlie bill was originally intended to aid those associations to loau money when the ttocks were nearly matured and when but few stockholders wacted to borrow money. In any association when the so les is Hearing maturity it is always a difficult matter to loan the money, since only stockholders can borrow. After an association has been in existence for several years most of those who want to borrow money have been ac-ommodated, and as a result the money will accumulate iu the treasury and n.ako no interest.

The idea was for an association to borrow from another and turnover as security to the lending association, tho mortgages or other collateral, which are given by the borrowing stockholders of the association setting the loan. According to the bill passed there is nothing to prevont an association from borrowing money from bank or an indiviiual. The result iu this case mav be disastrous to the borrower. If, through certain circumstances, he should (all behind in his payments the bank would disregard the ru.es of the association especially provided for such cases and foreclose the mortgage. The usi-ocialiou on the other hand would sell hit stock, pay his dues iu advance for six month or a year, aud give him a les Lumber of shares of Hock.

This would lengthen the time of payment, but il would tide the unfortunate borrower over a tijht plate and give him an opportunity to pay for his home. Ihere is no penalty attached to tho law. 1 think it gives liioers of associations splendid opportunities for In Early Summer The warm weather is very debilitating and "that tired feeling" prevails everywhere!

GrifHih J. Thomas of Mercy Hospital Dies From Blood Poisoning. THE VIRUS ABSORBED THROUGH A BOIL Au Admirable Example of the Self-Made Man of To-Day. DEATH CAME WHEN THE GOAL WAS SIGHT. Dr.

Griffith J. Thomas, one of the resident physicians of Mercy hospital, died there yesterday afternoon of blood poisoning. How Dr. Thomas contracted blood poisoning is a matter of conjecture. His as-sociates at the hospital can only explain his il liess and death upon a hypothesis, aud suppose it was caused by a disease which he acquired while holding a post mortem.

On Monday he assisted in a post mortem and at the same time had a boil on his wrist. It is sui'posed that some of the virus of the dead body was absorbed iuto his system through the medium of the sore, aud it caused his death almost within 48 hours from the beginning of his sickness. Dr. Thomas was 29 years of age, and was a native of Wales. He came to this country with his parents, who lived for some time in Frostburg, Md.

Afterward they removed to Pittsburgh and lived here a number of years, but some time ago went to Mineral Ridge, where they now reside. He was very ambitious and a man of untiring industry. Ever since his boyhood days he has beea a hard worker. He learned the trade of printer aud was a compositor. At one time during his varied experiences in the newspaper business he wai a writer on a financial paper published iu Philadelphia.

He attended the Pennsylvania State college at Bellefonte, Center couuty, and was graduated from that institution with high honors. From that school he entered the Medico-Chirurgical college at Philadelphia and was graduated from it on April 2i, lS'Jl. He was very popular with his classmates, and as a testimony of their favor they presented hint with a number of medical works. In his second year at the school he took first prize for chol.ir!hip. He was assistant demonstrator in cheiuistry in the medical college.

This is a position only giveu to the best students. When he received his diploma at the MeJico-Chirurgical college he entered the competitive examination lor the position of iesi-dent physician at the Philadelphia hospital, aud passed it successfully, lei ling ail com petors iu credits. He reiused to accept tho position and returned to this city, took the examination lor resident physician at Mercy hospital aud ranked second. His object iu coming to Pittsburgh was that he had many friends here, and expected ultimately to settle in tins city. He had only been at the hospital five weeks, yet in that brief period he became very popular with the associate phyoiciaus, the visitors aud the patieutsof the institution.

He was good and kind to every body, and no death could perhaps have occurred iu the institution that would have caused more universal regret. The blood poisoning was not alone tho cause of his death. He had besides endocarditis, an affection of the heart. During his illness he suu'ered the most excruciating pain, but he bore it manfully and was not known to utter a ningle complaint. The funeral services will beheld at C50 Fifth avenue, ihe remains will bo interred at Mineral Ridge, the present honie of his parents.

i i IT IS SAID TO BE OF THE PUREST QEAUTT. Carpenters Money to Receive a Sum From the A. F. of L. of KEWS ITEJ1S FEOM LOCaL LABOR CIRCLES.

The lead trust has finally started its plant in this city, and is said to be turning out oxide of lead of a quality finer than any manufactured in this country. Its excellent quality and the cheapness with which it i being produced are said to be such that it will enable the combination to compete successfully with even European manufacturers. However, there is such an enormous demand for it in the United States, that the company will be busy enough in supplying the home trade. Only one furnace is now in operation. The trust erected this one as an experiment, and hinca the trial at making fine oxide of lead was entirely successful, it has started the contractor to build 31 more furnaces.

Fahnestock Co.s old white lead works at Dallas station, beyond East Liberty, is where the trust has located its oxydizing furnaces. At the meeting of the members in this city last February the contracts for erecting them were given out, but the matter was guarded very closely. It was not certain that tne experiment of making a higher grade of lead oxide wouid end successfully, and the trust wanted no publicity of the matter in case there should be a failure. Last Wednesday the first furnace was completed, and then fired. Several directors were present and were highly gratified at the pure product turned out.

Chemical tests were made with the result, it is stated, of determining that the substance was superior to any now manufactured. It is impossible to estimate the cost of turning out the oxide of lead. Its manufacture is yet really au experiment. On competent authority, however, it is stated that the perfected machinery used will place the cost lower than has heretofore "been known. The machinery in the furnaces is first-class.

It is of a complex nature, and required more time to be placed than the erection of the furnaces. The daily capacity of the latter is 2)4 tons, and it is expected thU will be increased when the furnace is in working order. "When the contract for erecting the other furnaces is completed the trust will practically control the market. It will be several years before the furnaces are all erected. The company brings its raw material from the Colorado mines.

The Pitts- burgh glass houses consume a great portion of the product of the United States. FAILED TO WITHDRAW. It Was a Tie Vote in the District Miners' Convention. Tne miners of Pittsburgh district No. 5 failed to pass the resolution yesterday finally withdrawing from the United Mine Workers.

The session began early yesterday morning at K. of L. hall, and after the transaction of some routine business the discussion of the resolution of withdrawal began. The supporters of the movement met with more opposition than had at first been expected, and after a very lively session a vote was reached late in the afternoon. It resulted in a tie, and the convention adjourned until this- morning, when another vote will be taken.

President McLaughlin of the district was present, and occupied the chair. When the vote resulting in a tie was taken, Mr. Mclaughlin refused to cast the deciding ballot. Secretary Boyd of the district was not in attendance. Vice president Penna of the national organization said he felt confident the district will stay in the ranks of the United Mine Workers.

Bonos Buhl. IT WAS UXC50XSTITUTI0NAL THE TAX REVISION" BILL VETOED BY GOV. PATTISON. It "Would HaveTrovIded Soft Snaps For Some Politicians. A telegram was received in the city last night from Harrisburg stating that Governor Pattison had vetoed the tax revision bill introduced by Representative Nesbit of Allegheny.

The object of this measure was to create a board of three tax revisers, at a yearly salary of $3,500 each, who would perform all the duties now exercised in that respect by the county commissioners, except levy the millage. County Commissioner Boyle when seen last night had also heard of the veto, and was much gratified thereat. "I do not know on what grounds Governor Pattison vetoed the bill," said he, "but I do know the measure was unconstitutional. In the first place it was special legislation, and might read Allegheny county instead of counties having over 500,000 aud under 800,000 inhabitants. It also provided that the members of the board should not be members of the same political party, and should be appointed by the common pleas court.

This is unconstitutional because all county ofiices are elective. Had the bill been signed it would have made the office of county commissioner a soft snap, but would have put an additional burden on the county. The bill really provided for no method of tax revision, and did nothing with regard to ward assessors. "At present the couuty commissioners are acting under the law of 1834 in revising taxes. That law provides that the assessors' books be given out after the fall election, which at that time occurred in October.s They were returnable not later than January 13, which gave the commis-sionsrs just one month in which to make the millage.

The Nesbit bill did not make any provision toward changing this time. The commissioners could do the work much better if they had more time. There was some talk during the last session of having the law changed so as to allow the assessors to be given their books in April, May or June and have them returnable in time enough to give us about four months to figure on the levy. When the law of 1834 was passed the county had very few inhabitants, and there was then ample time, but the tax revision bill occupied so much attention that we did not get any extension of time. In some few districts where the work is very heavy I think the assessors will be given their books in October, which can be done under the law.

"A new method of the taxes this year will be tried. We have been keeping a scrap-boGk in which was pasted the sales of real estate dealers of the past three years. The assessor will be given the clippings that pertain to his district, and it is believe! that in this way we can get a truer assessment than has been made in years. There are many discrepancies in the books now. For instance, the Third ward, this city, which has much exempted property, is asses-ed at about 15,000,000, while the whole of McKeesport is only assessed at about! 5,000,000.

We hope to have the assessments as nearly correct as possible, and think it can be doue by this method." RETAIN LI) TI1K FACULTY. Mr. Phelps's Ideas Rejected by the Central Board of Education. At the meeting of the central board of education last evening the high school committee recommended the re-election of the entire high school faculty. Before the vote Member Phelps remarked that he had been persistently and maliciously misrepresented by Principal Wood and an afternoon paper.

His resolution for new teachers had nothing to do with the Xellie Nobbs case nor the suspension of his Hon. Rather, it grew out of a long and growing conviction that the removal of the present faculty wouid be for the best interests at the school. The board, however, voted to retain the present officials.
