It Begins to Mow at the Kate of 6,000 Barrels a Daj, CAUSING IKTEXSE EXCITEMENT Day unto day, almost, yields a sensation in the Allegheny county oil field. It's a chilly one that doesn't. Bnt the greatest came to the snrface yesterday in the Forest Grove hundred-foot The price of oil was steadily climbing on the exchange until, in the afternoon, an electric spark announced that the Dan Depp Xo. 2, owned by the Fort Pitt Gas Company, had responded to deeper drilling and was making 200 barrels an hour, some said at the rate of 5,000 bar rels and others 0,000 barrels in 24 hours. Values shriveled at a rate that indicated that had the news come sooner there might have been a slump. "I said in my haste, 'All men are liars,' " said David. A Scotch clergyman who read the 116th Psalm for the morning lesson had his attention attracted by David's impatient outbreak, and pausing a few moments and meditatively scratching his chin, said mus ingly to himself, but half aloud: "Ah, Davvy, boy. had ye lived noo ye might ha' said it at your leisure." Several centuries after, David. Pontius Pilate, asked: "What is truth ?" One who follows the course of oil development and speculation, and specu lation teems to run through the warp and woof of the whole business, will in a short time conclude that Pilate's question has not yet been answered. THE LAST OrSEB. A visit was made to the Depp well last evening. It is the one that made the panic. It is some three-quarters of a mile north west ol the Vandergrilt gusher, on the A. B. Young farm, and is certainly a very good well. Striking an average between all the stories told and relying somewhat on visual inspection, the reporter concluded that the well was a good one at least a 1,000-barrel one. Mr. Depp stated that she had made 750 barrels between 10 o'clock a. 31. and 7 o'clock P. m., which wonld give a production of close to 2,000 barrels a day, but she wasn't putting out at that rate at the last-named hour. Mr. Depp also stated that she had made 125 barrels in the first 39 minutes after being opened, and this agreed with the report of a man named Grubbs, who said she had put 49 inches in the tank in 31 minutes. An attempt was made to get information from representatives of the Fort Pitt com pany on the ground, but it was unsatisfac tory to say the least. They talked, it is true, but they talked an infinite deal of nothing, mainly in tbe style of riddles, and filially intimated that they might know more in a day or two a fact which doesn't require much intellect to discover. The well is undoubtedly a good one, and the man in charge of the pumring station seemed to think so, as he said they must run day and night to get the oil away, and the capaeity of the line at the point is 3,000 barrels in 21 houro. As the bulk of the oil comes now from the Depp No. 2 and the Young well, their combined capacity would seem to be put at near that figure. VARIOUS AXES TO GEIKD. The reticence of the opeiators may arise from various sources. They may want to lease more territory, and they are bears on this point, paying no more bonus than they can help. They may be bulls on the mar ket, whether they are carrying certificates or otherwise, as they do not want to depress the price of their product One operator interested in the well observed that oil would go up again this morning, the froth having blown off the well, and from the reports also. As a quaint, old-time Englishman re marked concerning the strawberry, God doubtless might have made a rougher piece of ground than the Depp farm, but doubt less God never did, and the assessors evi dently think it poor agricultural property, as the assessment is only S30 an acre. A lover of nature might buy it for its picturesque appearance, but not for farming. It was a lavorite stamping ground for the Indians, on account of their ability to see a long way down the Ohio from its crags. .Not far lrom it Joel Ferree, a granduncle of 'Squire Ferree, was killed almost a century aco. when he went up on the hill above Fort Vance and, shot a deer before breakfast He got the deer, but before he could get it down to the Jort a redskin sent a ball crashing through his brain and took his scalp. A short distance above, on the opposite side of Montour run, is a cavern where Brady and his scouts once housed themselves when watching the motions of the Indians. LAKH OW37EBS ABE CHABY. There is an extended effort to get leases in the neighborhood, but the lessees want to get them without paving any more bonus than possible, and most of the land holders are fully as firmly set the other way. Oper ators give taffy lavishly, but money as spar ingly as possible. George A. Lashell yes terday leased ten acres of the McElherron larm, but reserved the rest of it. The well which raised yesterday's com motion is an old one, having been struck some months ago. It was a fair producer, but latterly has been somewhat down at the heel, and it was decided to drill it a little further. The hole was made 12 to 15 feet deeper, when the fluid was liberated from a fresh pocket There isn't as much gas as is met with in some gushers, but its expelling power is considerable ample for the pur pose. The actual probable continning capacity of the well may not be known for some days. Mr. Depp yesterday afternoon stated that No. 1 was still making 500 barrels a week, bnt a representative of the Fort Pitt pro fessed to discredit the statement It began flowing early last fall aud has certainly been a very profitable hole. The landowners a year ago thought gas wells nice things to have around, but they elevate their noses at them now. There is a vat,t amount of speculation in the eyes with which lessors and lessees glare at each other. WILL 1UKB LAKE BITES. X Meeting: of Pliubcrc Agents to be Held Monday Atternooo. A meeting of the Pittsburg Freight Com mittee will be held Monday afternoon in the Lake Shore office, on Wood street, to ar range rates on lake shipments lrom this vicinity. It is probable that the rates will be lower this summer in a great many rases than those of last year. The railroads north of Chicago pre now using the official classification on lake ship ments. Formerly they used the Western classification. PATHOL WAGON TEACES. Tbe Marks Left br Crime on Central Station Recoidn. The Central station report for March shows 832 arrests made, G lost children fonnd and taken there, and 17G lodgers accommodated over night Or the persons arrested, 215 were drunks, 218 disorderly conduct cases, 61 suvplcious characters, 41 visitors of dis orderly houses, S3 vagrants, 1 murderer, and the balance Includes nearly every crime in the calendar. C00LIKG WITHOUT ICE. An Apparatus Willi jllurvclous Powers A War to Circumvent Illgb-rrlced Ice Scalers and Open Winters Clar Made to Cool Liquids. A water cooler which will make ice water without the use of ice is the latest novelty in the :nventive line, and the component materials are so cheap that the owners of' tbe patent hope to make a good thing out of it. Dr. Eric Munk, the inventor, is a graduate of Oxford College, England, and has been experimenting with the subject of porous material, and recently discovered a chemical which renders ordinary potter's clay snbservient to a process of natural evaporation. The three-gallon jar Dr. Munk exhibits is quite ordinary in appear ance, and were it not surrounded by a "jacket" of zinc, perforated with small apertures with a space of an inch and a half tor the circulation of air, it would not differ from the earthern jars of commerce. The ice water lurnished by the ordinary cooler is of the temperature of 40 to 50 de grees, and the citv water of the present time is at 65 to 70 degrees. In an experiment made yesterday, water at a temperature of 80 degrees was reduced to 45 degrees within an hour. The coolers can be made in any size, and at a cost tar below the highly orna mental ice coolers now in use. The total saving of ice, especially in a season when ice is scarce and high priced, is regarded as an unanswerable argument in favor of the new apparatus. Mr. J. Clark Williams, President of Curry University, has obtained control oi the in vention, and has formed a company with a capital of $200,000 to develop and manufac ture the new cooler. The factory will be pressed to an early completion, in order to place the coolers on the market immediately. The principle is conceded to be very novel, on account of its iacihty of application to ordinary materials in the usual method of manufacture. THE SHIRAS-BAINE BATTLE. Friends of tbe Candidates Blake Some De tailed Procnostlcntions. George Shiras IIL is said to ba making great progress in his candidacy against Colonel Bayne for Congress, and it was al leged at City Hall last night that the most active Allegheny hustlers were enrolled un der his banner. The Shiras men say that Colonel Bayne has made many enemies, and that Mr. Shiras' personal popularity will help out An influential political friend of Colonel Bayne gives, however, some cold figures which would tend to discount some what the budding hopes of the anti-Bayne men. He said: "There are upward of 1E0 delegates to the nominating convention; 71 of these are in the 13 wards of the city. It is conceded that Mr. Shiras would do well to get half the delegates in the city. But it is useless to hope that the balance of the district would go back on Colonel Bayne. He has been very thorough in his attention to his rural constituents. With the entire Federal ma chine actively at work against Mr. Shiras, I don't think he can equal the showing made by Mr. Christy. Mr. Shiras friends are using the Judg'e White impeachment epi sode as an argument in the saloon wards, but it may recoil in other places. Every body concede a lively canvass, but we who are Colonel Bavne's friends take no stock in the opposition." I0UKG CALVES STARTING. A cent Berrjman Descends on East Liberty Stock Dealers. Agent Berryman, of the Humane Society, visited the East End Stock Yards yesterday afternoon to look into the condition of a number of young calves said to be neglected. He found the facts to be as represented, and after some threatening induced the owners to feed the animals with raw eggs. Agent Berryman says they were starving, and some of them were too young to eat solid food. What stock dealers call the calf season is now at its height Last week 1,300 calves were consigned to the dealers here. The animals ranged in age from 10 days to 6 weeks. On an average 1,500 are shipped to the stock yards every week. In his visit yesterday Agent Berryman found 400 in pens. Of these, he says, 200 at least were not more than 10 days old. They were neglected, and no effort was made to keep tbem from starving. Agent Berryman also saw that nine young lambs were fed. He claims they also were starving. Tbe agent declares he will make informations against the owners for their neglect A TEEI S0KKI SPECTACLE. Carnegie Free Library as It Is Up to Date A Utilitarian huecextlon. A melancholy spectacle can be contem plated by the lightof the incandescent lights in the Carnegie Library almost any night Broad tables guiltless of any other literature than ancient newspapers, medical reports of the vintage of '70 and sundry stray almanacs stretch their unnsed length and tantalize the bookworm. A few boys were sitting at the tables last night yawning over the papers, and several bookish-looking young men were pacing the floor. A fire blazed in the huge fireplace, and in tbe dim light the face of Mr. Carnegie looked out over a literary desert There were the lights, the chairs, the tables, the shelves, but where were the books? To show what practical and marrelously utilitarian people dwell in Allegheny, the proposition of a political heeler made in the corridor of City Hall, last night, will be thoroughly indicative: "Say," said the heeler, "de library ain't no good. See? Wy don't de city rent it to de Guv'ment fer a postoffice?" AGAIN IN A PRISON CELL. Ball McDonongh Falls a Victim to Telegraph and Detectives Inspector McAleese last night received a telegram from the Chief of Police of Bridge port, O., asking for the arrest of Ed Combs and Mike, alias "Bull," McDonongh. They were wanted there for assault and robbery. The telegram was received at 9:45 and by 10 o'clock Detectives Fitzgerald, Shore and Robison had arrested the men at Eleventh and Liberty streets. When they were taken to Central station a lot of dice, shells, cheap jewelry and 55 in money were found on Ed Combs. "Bull" McDonongh only was bur dened with a pawn check for a revolver. Both men are well known to the police here, McDonough having served a term in the Biverside Penitentiary about 10 years ago. They declared they were innocent, and McDonongh declared he had not been out of Pittsburg for a year. SIX MURDERERS bSCAPE. Another Chapter Added to tbe Stoops Ferry Tragedy. Coroner McDowell yesterday completed tbe inqnest over the remains of Antonio Befiisa, tbe murdered Italian. The only new feature developed was that Louis Greco and Francison Citurio testified to having assisted six of the Italians who -n ere en gaged in the battle of March 13 to the train. They refused to give the names of the Ital ians', bnt said they had gone to Buffalo. Tbe Coroner then held Joseph Natali and Peter Carinona for murder. He also com mitted the other men to jail and will hold them as witnesses. Locating Tariff Clob Funds. Detectives Shore and Bobinson yesterday arrested George Kobison, one of the colored waiters implicated in tbe Tariff Club rob bery. He was landed in Central station. His partner, Beed, who was arrested in Wheeling, confessed, and accused Bobison of being his assistant Db. B. M. Haxxa. Eye, ear, nose and throatdiseasesexclusively.

BOTTLE BLOWEItS ASK F0H 8 HOURS A Lively Hustle for Window Glass Workers' Totes for Clarey. lESTERDAI'S GRIST OF LABOR NEWS The row between the Musical Mutual Protective IX nion and tbe Knights of Labor over the engagement of the Great Western Band to play at the opening game of the old League Baseball Club, is getting warmer each; day. t The latest is a challenge from the M. il. P. TJ. to settle the trouble by arbitration. If it is found the Great West ern Band is in the right, the M. M. P. IT. will withdraw from the field and not inter fere with the band in the future. The fol lowing is a copy of the challenge written yesterday: I make the following proposition to I. N. Ross. Master Workman of D. A. No. 8, who bas been bowling so mucb about tbe M. M. P. U., that the trouble between the Great Western Band and tho M. M. P. U, be settled by an arbi trating committee of five; we to select two. Mr. Ross two, ana the four to select the fifth man. If the committee sustains the Great Western Band I will cancel my engagement with Man ager H ecKer, of tho Allegheny Baseball Club. Will meet Mr. Boss at the Register's office, at 4 o'clock P.M., April 12. Gus Kiuel. For the M. M. P.U. A SCHEME FOB THE FUTURE. Master Workman Boss has a scheme to prevent such troubles in the future. He wants a conference of the different labor or ganizations, held once a month, for the pur pose of talking over existing troubles, and devising means to work in hirmony. He says if such a conference was held occasion ally, the rank and file of tbe different organ izations could properly understand matters better. Many false statements sent out about one organization could be properly squelched it the officers of each body come together. At a conference held in Philadelphia some months ago, an agreement was entered into by the different labor organizations and a written contract signed to the effect that one union would not organize the expelled members of another union. BESULT OF THE CONFERENCE. At the conference General Master Work man Powderly represented the Knights of Labor, and President Gompers was there for the Federation. As the M. M. P. TJ. is affiliated with the latter body, Mr. Gompers was their representative. In spite ol the agreement made, the local assembly in which the members of the Great Western Band are enrolled nnmbers among its members all the expelled musicians from the M. M. P. TJ. Notwithstanding the protest made by the Federation against organizing the Pitts burg expelled musicians into the Knightsof Labor, the general officers of the latter is sued a charter for the Pittsburg men. This is what caused the first trouble between the M. M. P. TJ. and the Knights of Labor, and is following out the idea of Mr. Boss. 'Master Workman Boss was seen last night by a DISPATCH reporter and when asked what he proposed to do about it, he said: "We will accept the challenge and I will be on hand to arrange the preliminaries with Mr. Kreil. We will show the committee that the Knights of Labor is right and the M. M. P. TJ. is wrong." WILL START UP MONDAY. No Cbange In tbe Strikes nt Hamilton's and Armstrong's. There was no change in the situation at Hamilton's or McCnlly's glass houses yes terday. The firms stated that they did not want to start until Monday, and by that time expected the strikers wonld see the error of their ways and come back to work. The plants were shut down, and the lew po licemen who were on duty found nothing to do. At Armstrong's cork works the old em ployes were raising cain on account of the works being thrown idle. The youngsters who struck were firm, and said they would not go back until paid the advance. As the plant depended partly upon the services of the boys it was necessary to close it down until the trouble was settled. One of the members of the firm said they wonld start up on Monday morning with a new force of boys. The firm, advertised in The Dis patch for 100 boys, and had several hun dred applications. They will have all the boys they need in time for the start on Mon day morning. TO BLOW ONLY EIGHT HOURS. Green Bottle Blowers Will Recommend Adopting tbe Short Day. L. A. 6111, composed of Knights of Labor green bottle blowers, met last night in Labor Hall. The members discussed the eight hour law and its relation to their trade. The union is considering the advisability of recommending to the next annual con vention tbe adoption of the eight-hour law. At present the bottle blowers work by the piece, and the method proposed at last night's meeting is to continue on that sys tem with the difference that no one shall work longer than eight hours each day. There is no limit to the production of each man, and he will be allowed to make as much as he can in that time. The Pitts burg men are taking the initial step, and it is said their example will be followed by others in the East and West. IRON MULDERS' RECEPTION. A Large Crowd In Attendance nt tbe Annual SnllorNo. 4G. The second annual reception of Iron Mold era' Union No? 40, of Pittsburg, was held last evening at Imperial Hall. The large dancing pavilion was crowded with dancers during the evening, and the affair was one of the most successful given this season. The music was furnished by tbe Ideal Or chestra, under the direction of Colonel J. M. Allen. The Committee of Arrangements was composed of the following well-known gen tlemen: James Nolan, George Paulick, John Joyce, James McNoldy, Joseph Shelly, Thomas O'Reilly and J. F. McDermott. An elegant gold pin will be given to the mem ber of the union who sold the most tickets for the reception. CALUMET LOCKOUT SETTLED. Eight Hundred Men at tbe Ralaey Plant to Go Out To-Day. A telegram from Scottdale says the lock out at the Calumet Coke Works has been settled. Messrs. Ball aud Pike, of the Knights of Labor Execntive Board,ofiiciated for the miners in a confersnee with Super intendent Bankin and a settlement was effected. The works made the usual run yesterday. At tbe Knights of Labor convention ac tion was taken in reference to the emploves of Bainey's coke plant working, when that operator has repeatedly refused to sign the labor contract A strike will be ordered at those works and about 800 men will be in volved. " A resolution was passed at, the convention to force the men to quit work. An Order for Steel Ralls. Carnegie, Pbipps & Co. have received the contract for several thousand tons of steel rails to be used rebuilding the Pittsburg, Akron and Western Railroad, the Pitts burg and Western's new connection to Chi cago. The work of double tracking the road is gring on as rapidly as possible. PITTSBTJKQ DISPATCH, WORKING FOR CLAREY. Tho Fight for Presidency of L. A. 300 Wax Ing Exceedingly Warm. The meeting of L. A. 300 last night was largely attended, owing to the interest in the election for President, which is daily In creasing. It was stated at the meeting that the workmen at Ihmsen's glass house, at which Mr. Clarey was formerly employed, had raised a fund to pay the expenses of a man to stump the preceptories In the inter est of the plucky little candidate. Quite a handsome sum has been raised, and Harry M. Billiter, a blower at Wolfe, Howard & Co.'s, is now in the Fast performing his mission. Aside from this there is some tall hustling being done for Clarey. The firm of Campbell, Cake & Co. is not making much noise at present, although one of Eberhart's supporters says he has 500 to bet that his man is the winner. It is ad mitted that an open fight is being made against Clarey. Several weak and unsuccessful attempts have been made to tell how ex-President Campbell got out of the' office and Mr. Eberhart in. Here are the facts: Two weeks ago, the association instructed the Council to select a man to go to Washing ton to lobby in the interest of the tariff bill prepared by the Ways and Means Commit tee. The Council decided that Mr. Campbell was the proper person to send. On last Satur day while Mr. Campbell was in Alliance,0., he discovered that tbe work pertaining to the office of President, and that ot the trip to Washington was too much for one man and he telegraphed to the Council Saturday, requesting them to select a man to either take charge of the office temporarily, or to go to Washington in his stead. He did not resign at all. Mr. Eberhart was placed in tbe office during Mr. Campbell's absence, because he had acted as assistant secretary last summer and is acquainted with the office. TO H0X0K GOMPERS. The Cigarmakers Will Attend the Eight Hoar Meeting In a Body. A special meeting of L. A. 1374, Knights of Labor Cigarmakers, has been called for Tuesday evening next The object is to attend the eight-hour demonstration to be held at Imperial Hall in the evening. The cigarmakers will meet in their hall at No. 101 Fifth avenue, and march to the other hall in a body. In his circular Pres ident Gompers advises this. On account oi tbe fact of Mr. Gompers being a cigarmaker Jiy trade, the craft here will make a special effort to tnrn out every member of the local and do President Gompers honor by attend ing the meeting. THE COUNTY ASSOCIATION. Controller Morrow Urges tbe Collection of Sunday School Statistics. The spring meeting of the Allegheny County Sabbath School Association was held last night at the Second Presbyterian Church. Delegates to the International Convention to be held in June were elected. They are Edwin S. Gray, H. J. Heinz and A. P. Burchfield; alternates, W. K. Jen nings, Bev. G. W. Clinton and Thomas Cord. Hon. E. S. Morrow urged the association to collect the Sunday school statistics of the county, as the figures published by the World's Convention misrepresent the shire. W. J. Jennings gave an address on the objects and claims of the international work. The first national convention held in this country, he said, was in 1832. The first international convention was held in Baltimore in 1875. Four have been held since, making the one to he held here the sixth international and eleventh national Sabbath school convention. Maintaining that enthusiasm, or "whooping her up," was the method to bring the little ones into the Sabbath school and saving them. A. A. Home reviewed the plans of the Finance Committee. He said that at first it had been estimated that the expenses of the international convention would be about $2,200. Circulars with stamped and ad dressed envelopes had been sent to the 212 schools in the county, UBking for contribu tions. The circulars were sent out in Feb ruary, and but 47 schools have been heard from, with a total of $829. If the balance of the schools had responded, in proportion about 53,500 wonld be realized. HANDLING THE MAILS. Superintendent Collins to Gather Pointers for the New Oder. The postoffices in Philadelphia, New York and Boston are to be visited by Super intendent ot Mails Collins, and the best ideas he collects there are to be woven into the plans for the new postoffice in Pittsburg. He will start this morning and will be ab sent a week. Mr. Collins says the Treasury officials have all decided to make Pittsburg the finest and most completely equipped post office in the country, and that expense will not be considered in the matter, only the wants of the officials here. Mr. McKean and Mr. Collins are now preparing the plans for the furnltnre and other arrange ments of the office, and, as New York, Philadelphia and Boston have the best equipments now, he hopes to gain some features from them for the'Pittsburg office. A REFORMED PUGILIST To Begin tbe Task of Reforming the Sport ing Men ol Pittsburg. A reformed pugilist is a rara avis nowa days, and Pittsburg will no doubt be grati fied to learn that one of the species is at pres ent in the city. Evangelist Ben Hogan, hero of many bygone "scrapping matches," is the man. He has engaged the Grand Opera House for his first meeting. Mr. Hogan's work Is unconnected with any church or creed, and his efforts are princi pally directed toward the conversion of abandoned sporting men. Mr. Hogan came to this country from England in 1866, and gave boxing matches with Bob Brittle, the English middle-weight champion. Afterward he fought with Tom Allen, and for some time conduoted a gym nasium in Pittsburg. He will lecture on Sunday night, his subject being "Dark and Bright Sides of My Lite." WANTS MORE ROOM. Allegheny's Postofllce Seek the Health Office Quarters for a Division. PostmasterGilleland, Allegheny City.siid yesterday that he intended to endeavor to se cure the present Health Office of Allegheny, across tbe corridor of the City Hall and on the postoffice floor, for the money order and registry division. It is thought that the Health Office could be moved upstairs and be just as satisfactory to the public, and thereby greatly alleviate the crowded con dition 'of the interior of the office. Mr. Gilleland says that when Postmaster General Wanamaker came to Pittsburg to attend the Americus Club Grant banquet an effort would be made to induce him to inspect the Allegheny office. One glance is considered enough to receive a liberal al lowance for new quarters. ARBOR DAI IGNORED. A Holiday Wbose Exlstenee is Mot Tbongbt or In Pittsburg. Yesterday was Arbor Day in this Com monwealth, but in Pittsburg it was passed without any observance whatever. In fact, scarcely anybody knew that it was such a notable occasion notable, however, only in the rural regions. The only planting done inthis city was in the way of erecting a few more telegraph and telephone poles in out lying wards. Even Superintendent Hamilton, of the Allegheny parks, planted no flowers. It is a month too early, he says, for the early flower catches the frost SATURDAY, APRIL 12, A CHANGE DEMANDED State and National Officials of the Mechanics Want a New Name. THE OBDER OF UNITED AMERICANS Is What the National Council Will he Re quested to Adopt. 'TWOULD BE A BENEFIT TO THE WEST The proposed change of name is again being agitated among tbe members of the American Mechanics. By way of reopening tbe question for discussion, The American of to-day contains several columns of inter views with State and 'national officers and prominent members of the order on the mat ter. If the opinions expressed is an indica tion of what the result of another vote will be, the future name of the order will be tbe "Order of United Americans," dropping the words "Junior" and "Mechanics." State Councilor J. P. Winomer says the order should have a name which would represent the meaning of its objects and principles, one which would place it before the public in its true light, and requites no explanation. State Vice Councilor Collins favors a change of name "because," ssys he. "when explaining what our order is, we must now explain what it is not, viz.: That we are not juniors and that we are not mechanics. Tnese two words are a decided detriment to the progress of the order, and prevent us from securing men whom another name would attract. The scope, aims and purposes of the order have changed almost completely since the name was adopted." NOW BELIEVES IN A CHANGE. Past State Councilor D. G. Evans, who has been an admirer of the present name, and for years opposed any change, believes it is necessary for the future benefit of the order in the West to make a change. Past State Councilor H. A. Keil says: "My ser vice as a member of the Board oi Officers of the State Council of Pennsylvania gave me the opportunity of learning what a serious obstacle in the" way of the order's progress our present name is, and I hope it will be changed." National Beoresentative Harry B. Peck believes the interests of the order are seriously affected by the misleading terms, "Junior" and "Mechanic," and indorses the effort made to change it. W. T. Kerr expresses himself as follows: "I believe that the present name of onr order is very misleading, and that it is a hindrance to the growth of our order in places where there is little but the name to explain our membership. Were we sailing under some other name, representing more accurately the membership of our order, the false impression that we are a labor organi zation of juniors would not exist, nor be justifiable, as it now is." ANOTHEE ADVOCATE OP IT. National Bepresentative J. G. A. Bichter, of Ohio, also favors a change to something that will excress the principles and objects. He is indorsed by L. E. Shull, also of Ohio. 8. W. Connor, of Manchester Council, Allegheny, says: "There never was the slightest donbt in my mind but what a change of name would be beneficial to the order. Why is it that an order with prin ciples snch as ours has existed for so long a time and made such slow progress? The general belief is that we have been doing excellently, but it is a mistake. We should have a membership four times as great, and the reason we have not is because of the misleading nature of our name. I do not make this statement from hearsay, but I have experienced it and know it to be so." National Bepresentative Fred J. Shaler, of Illinois, throws out a suggestion that is worthy of consideration by the National Council. He says: "Unless a change is made, the West will ask for a special appro priation of funds toadvertise the objects and name of our order, for it is too expensive to send organizers into the field who have to devote two-thirds of theirtimeto explaining the meaning, or rather the meaning which we place upon the word 'Junior' and 'Mechanic.'" Many other representative members of the order express parallel opinions regarding the matter. It is singnlar that there should be a universal sentiment in favor of a change, and that nearly all who were inter viewed indorse tho name of Order of United Americans. AN EDITORIAL OPINION. Speaking of the matter editorially, The American will say that it "has already ex pressed its opinion on the matter, and re peats that it earnestly and warmly advocates a change, believing that the interests of the order demand it Our opinion was not formed hastily, or without study and ex amination. We have advisedly assumed what may be considered an advanced or radical position, and are willing to main tain and defend It when the proper time comes. The question to be considered now, is whether tbe National Council will give the membership an opportunity of again voting on this matter. We do not see bow they can consistently refuse, as no fair minded person, whatever his opinion of the desirability of a change, would take ad vantage of the trust reposed iu him to smother open expression or defeat the will of a large number of people." ONE CENTURY OP GREATNESS. A Famous Old Bond Bouse Being Torn Down. Yesterday workmen began tearing down the old house of Mrs. Mary McTighe at 498 and 00 Fifth avenue. The old building is to be replaced bv two four-storv flats, which will cost 20,000. The house being torn down is probably the oldest one in the city. It has been standing for about 100 years, and in the early days of Pittsburg was known as the Fourth "Street Boad House, and was one of the famous hostelries of the city. When built it was a mile away from the nearest house, and was a favorite Sun day resort during the summer. In those days the house was about eight feet above the road, but Fifth avenue has been tilled so much since then that the frontdoor was five feet below the pavement. Arrangements Already Completed, And those in contemplation, place the Western University iu the front rank of our collegiate and technical institutions.

SCRAMBLING FOR COUNCILS. The First nnd Second Ward Politicians Training Heavy Political Artillery Hub ley and Gregg In tbe Lend Ballot Boxes to be Impounded. Ei-Councilman James S. Bell, Mayor Wyman's choice for captain of the night watch, vice Captain Bichard Wilson, will not don his uniform until a week from next Monday, owing to his inability to relinquish his railroad position at short notice. The resignations of James S. Bell and C. H. Hartman, of the Second and First wards respectively, has caused a lively scramble for the vacant positions. Samuel D. Hnbley, of the Americus Club, is leading in the Sec ond ward, with Bobert Knox and Bobert Baxter camping on his trail. In the First ward James M. Gregg, the Federal street hatter, is leading, with John G. Lehman, defeated candidate for fire chief, a lively second. Mr. Gregg has been in Councils before, which gives him an advantage, but Mr. Lehman is a vigorous antagonist James McFarland is also an aspirant. Mayor Wyman was asked last night when the election proclamation would be issued, and said that probably a week or ten days would be allowed to elapse in order to give the candidates time to move their pins. No primaries will be held, as the fight will probably narrow down to two candidates in each ward. Mr. Hubley's brother was around City Hall last night and seemed en couraged by the prospects. Mayor Wynisn was absolutely besieged by candidates and their friends. The rule returnable to-day requiring Mayor Wyman to show cause whv the bal lot boxes used in the late election should not be impounded by the court pending the set tlement of the Wyman-Stayton contest, will be argued at length. Should the boxes be taken to court, new boxes would have to be used.

A lnnd of 550,000 has been raised among Pittsburg firms for tbe proper entertainment of the visitors. "With all these matters engaging Mr. Car negie's active attention it is doubted whether he iutends to devote much time to library matters. Some of his Pittsburg intimates state that their opinion is that the cavalier treatment of his munificent plans by Councils will end only in one way his complete abandonment of any ideas looking toward the betterment and embellishment of the city of Pittsburg.
