I GERM AN JEALOUSY OP AMERICANS
Is Responsible for the Late Trouble in the
Samoan Islands.
IHE PLANTATIONS FORKED BY SLATES
Philip Clark, the chief gunner's mate of
the United States war ship Adams,
recently returned from Samoa, passed
through the city last night bound
for "Washington. The Adams was
relieved at Samoa by the Kipsie, which it
was rumored the Germans had blown up.
Mr. Clark's account of the late trouble in
Samoa agrees with the telegraphic dis
patches already received.
Mr. Clark said: "The German Consul
was really responsible for the late fisticuff
we had on the island. The whole trouble,
in a nutshell, is that a German monopoly
owns the greater part of the plantations,
nnd they are trying to squeeze out the
Americans. The German Consul sent out a
report in whicn be claimed that Reporter
Klein had instigated the fight and he was
armed to the teeth. The only weapon that
Klein had was a pistol and a knapsack which
I gave him.
JOCKNALIST PDBE AND SIMPLE.
He was on the scene of the riot as a reporter
only, not as a leader, and I cave him the pistol
to protect himself if he should be attacked.
We left for San Francisco as soon as the
Nipsic arrived. Klein and the officers of the
ship will be coming through here in a few days.
I don't believe that the Nipsic was touched.
That story was hatched in San Francisco. The
news of such a disaster could only come by way
of New Zealand and the East. The Germans
were pretty well tamed down before wo left.
They knew they had made a blunder and were
not at all anxious to repeat it. England's
apathy in the present imbroglio is easily ex
plained. They want the Sandwich Islands,
and even now they have a number of war ships
located there waitinc for an emergency.
France looks with a jealous eye on New Cale
donia, and Germany never did conceal her de
sire to gobble the Samoan croup.
HALF AS BIG AS ALLEGHENY.
The population of Samoa at 'present is
about 50,000. Tamasese's army has dwindled
down to KK). Mataafa, the nephew of Malietoa,
the rightful King, has at least 8,000 men at his
back The fact is that Tamasese is completely
vanquished. The Germans claimed that Klein
had incited him to' war. but this is a lie. It was
the Germans who secretly supported him.
"The United States made a great mistake in
removing Consul Sewall, and the Americans on
the island, hope President Harrison will send
him back. He stood by the flag bravely, and it
tickled the Germans immensely when he was
removed.. They were glad he was out of the
way. I have been tnere for the past three
years. The Germans still tteal slaves from the
Line and Society Islands, which they work on
their plantations from five to six years, when
they send them home without a dollar. It is
an outrage that these ignorant people should
be maltreated in this fashion."
THEY WANT NO WAK.
The Germani Admit They Blundered In
Samoa.
Mr. R. Henkell, of Mainz, Germany, is
at the Duquesne. He says it is nonsense to
talk of a war between Germany and Amer
ica on account of Samoa. The Germans ad
mit that their Consul kicked up a tuss and they
are willing to make amends for it. He thinks
the international commission will settle the
difficulty satisfactorily.
The Germans, he says, were not excited over
toe affair and they were surprised that the
Americans ever thought of going to war.
LIKE LOADED GAJJKOff.
SIcGee and Rogan Were killed by Pieces of
Lend Forced Oat of a Pipe Line Hearj
Pressure ot Gas Did It.
The accident on the Carnegie pipe line at
Harrison City, in which James JIcGee, of
this city, was killed ontright and William
Hogan has since died from injuries received,
was not the result of an explosion, as reported,
but was prodnced by the heavy pressure of the
gas.
The men were laying a new pipe line, and In
spector James Irwin desired to test it for leaks.
Some of the workmen were employed at the
end of the line, among the number McGee and
Rogan. Mr. Irwin, it is claimed, tnrned on 300
pounds of gas before the men were notified to
pet out of the way. The pipe line in this con
dition was like a loaded cannon, and the heavy
pressure of the gas forced out the pieces of
lead in the pipes. A large chunk caught-Mc-Gee
in the side, and killed him Instantly. Ro
gan was also struck, and is now dead. The
other men luckily escaped with slight injuries.
The gas did not take fire, though the fires
unier the melting pots were nearby.
, McCormick and William Smith, two of
the men who worked on the line, were seen
yesterday. McCormick said the place where
the gas was turned on is. at least a half 'mile
from where the men were at work. He saw
Irwin step down to make the turn. The latter
told McCormick he hati sent a man to warn the
men, and he bad also seen them himself.
William Smith said that nobody had given
them notice, and that Irwin had not been near
them. He claimed that Irwin didn't under
stand his business, and a few days before that
had turned on the gas in the center of the
town in a similar manner.
Coroner McDowell will bold an inquest over
the body of Rogan to-day. Irwin, who is now
in the Greensburg jail, will be brought here to
give his testimony.
Mr. Smith said that the pressure of the gas
was strong enough to co through a brick
house.
MISSION AT THE POINT.
The Redemplorlst Priests at St. Mary of
Mercy's Church Again.
Another mission was begun yesterday
morning by the Redemptorist fathers at St.
Mary of Mercy's Church. The mission is a
renewal of the one held less than a year ago in
this church, and is conducted by Fathers Winn
and Trimple.
The mission will last two weeks. One week
the services will be for women, and the other
lor men. It was opened at 1030 yesterday
morning with high mass. The sermon was de
livered by Father Trimple. His subject was
The Meaning, Utility and Condition of the
Renewal of the Mission." He said
that the renewal meant to renew the
good resolutions formed a year
ago; the utility that many of those formed a
year ago were forgotten and their courage
needed stirrinc up. Those that made the mis
sion and kept their resolutions needed support.
The last reason was that those who failed to
make the mission at all will now have an op
portunity. The order of exercises is as follows: The
first service will be afS o'clock in the morning.
At JO o'clock there will be another, and the
last service of the day will be held at 7:30 p. it.
Sermons will be delivered by the priests at
each service. At 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon
there was a special service for the children
who have made their first holy communion.
IS THE DRDMMER EIGHT?'
A Bright Salesman Soys Pittsburg Is Fall of
Red-Haired Girls.
"Is this city noted for red-haired girls?"
said a cood-natured drummer to a reporter
yesterday.
"Well, hardly," was the reply he got;
"but it is presumed Pittsburg has its share."
"Yes, I think you have. I am not an ob
servant creature, but my attention was
called ,the other day bv a lady to the large
number of red-haired girls to be seen on Pitts
burg's streets. This & a fine afternoon, and
actiuf on the lady's suggestion 1 have been
watching the crowd of flitting shadows from
my window. During the short time I have
been encaged in this occupation I believe I
have counted not less than 100 girls with au
burn locks. Another feature which struck me
also was that the blondes are in the majority
in this city. Of course all the girls are pretty,
but the lighter type of beauty seems to pre
dominate. Is this mere guessing on my part,
a passing fancy, or am a correct? Watch the
crowds and see if you come to the same conclusion."

HE HAS NO FEARS OP A PANIC.
Mr. Rhoades Says 60 Per Cent More Pipe Is
Mode Than Used.
Mr. Joshua B. Rhoades -went to. New
York last night to attend a meeting of pipe
men.
"I suppose," said be, "we will meet, as
we always do, quarrel a little among our
selves, and then go home without doing any
thing. The pipe business is exceedingly dull.
There is 60 per cent more pipe on the market
than there ought to be. Overproduction is the
cause.of the dullness in the iron trade at pres
ent. "When natural gas came into use the pipe
men increased their capacities. For a time
there was a demand for all the pipe we could
produce. Now we have the plants, but no
body wants the pipe. We tarn out more than
the country needs. It wouldn't pay us either
to ship abroad, because little pipe is used across
the ocean. I would prefer to make less and
keep the product at home. We are not run
ning to our full capacity.
"While business is dull I have no fears that a
panic is ahead of us, as Don Dickinson pre
dicts. There is too much money in the coun
try. This is always a healthy sign."

FIRST. WARD CATHOLICS WARNED.
The Temperance Crusade Goes on, With
Got. Colquitt Still at It."
A GREAT OPERA HOUSE MASS MEETING
Rev. Father Sheedy is determined to
have the law observed among his people at
the Point No heavier blows for temperance'
are being dealt in this city at present than
those he deals. Notwithstanding the efforts
directed against him in various ways, he
has again assailed the law breakers of the 1
First ward. His coarse has.Deen upheld
and commended by the higher church
authorities, and-by his last utterances he
shows that he is going to continue in it.
In a sermon delivered in his church
yesterday morning, he spoke of the large
number of people in his .parish who were
applicants for licenses to sell liquor. He
deplored the poverty-stricken condition of a
number of Catholics at the extreme Point,
and it was all due, he said, to whisky.
In his sermon he said:
"My good people, I regret very much to
see that' so many of those who were nom
inally Catholics had filed applications for a
liquor license. It is -noticeable that it is
the same class that applied last year, and
were refused, that are applicants this year.
Most of the applicants of our ward come
from the lower quarter of the First ward,
where the people are a hard-working,
honest class, and
THET CAN LEAST AFFORD
to spend their money in drinking saloons.
Far better would it. bo' for their wives and
children if they would expend their money on
their homes. If tbey did, it would make home
more comfortable and attractive" to the chil
dren, and there would be no trouble in keeping
them from the streets.
"I notice especially that there was in the list
a grocery store, and that the business of selling
the necessities of life was to be given up for
tho sale of liquor. I regret very much that
among the list of applicants was the name of
this man. This was one of the few grocery
stores in this same quarter; but the man appa
rently is not satisfied to make a decent living.
"Another instance is that of a butcher, who
wants to sell liquor. Last year he was refused
a license. He assured me that it was difficult
to make a living selling meat to those in the
neighborhood where his shop was, while be
had no difficulty whatever in securing a good
living out of the sale of drink, and bad made a
lot of money in the saloon bnsiness there.
"They are the very same people that are ap
plying for license this year, ana there are over
a dozen of them within two blocks of this
church. If these-same people, who were una
ble to satisfy the Court last year that they
were fit and proper persons to sell liquor, se
cure a license this year, I think If will be en
tirely wrong.
VERY, plainly put.
There is no necessity for saloons at that end
of town. Their presence there is degrading
and demoralizing, and I sincerely hope that
the Court will be very sparing in granting li
censes in that quarter. Two saloons would be
amply sufficient to meet all the demands for
slaking the thirst of the thirsty at that end of
town. It is useless to expect that the influence
of church and school will be felt for good in
this quarter of the city, if a saloon is to be set
up on every block or square.
"It is also a notorious fact that there are any
number of unlicensed places in the ward, sell
ing liquor. This has been denied; but I have
seen it with my own eyes. There areagreat
many of those places running, with little or no
effort made by the ward constables or the city
police authorities to suppress them.
There are SS applicants f orJicense from this
ward.. One is from the corner of Fourth and
Ferry streets, and another at Second and
Ferry; and the church right between them. X
call yonr attention, those .of yon who are appli
cants for license, and that want to hear , "
THE VOICE OF THE CHURCH,
to tho fact that the bishops of the country
have asked you to get out of this dangerous
business. The counsel seems to have fallen on
deaf ears, judging from the number of people
who want to sell liquor To those who get a li
cense I sayrv Do not only observe the civil law,
but rememberthe three points set forth in the
pastoral letter of the Council of Baltimore,
namely: First, you should not sell on Sunday;
second, you shonld not sell to minors, and
third, you should not sell to habitual drunk
ards." Father Sheedy was seen after the sermon
and asked if any remonstrances had been filed,
against any of the 33 applicants from the First
ward. He said: "Not one. that I know of.
The people who file remonstrances are not the
kind of people that live in the First ward. The
only remonstrance against the unholy business
is the one I am making. If the Judges of the
License Court exercise rightly thepower vested
in them, , we will have a continuanco of peace
and good order in this warcx formerly well
known as a bad section of the city."
RIGHT FROM THE SHOULDER.
Elder Chenncy, of Texas, Tackles-Popular
Notions nnd Lnys Them Out.
The crowded Opera House union temper
ance meeting last evening, presided over by
Captain Barbour and addressed by Rev.
Josepbus Cbeansy, of Texas, was as inter
esting in many respects as its predecessors.
Elder Cheaney contended that liqnorwasone
of the stumbling blocks which, the scriptures
decreed,' must be removed. The words wine
and strong drink are mentioned 220 times in the
Bible; 100 times they are condemned; 75 times
they are condemned directly: 12 times wine is
stigmatized as an adder and five times it is pos
itively prohibited. Thus three out of lour
times it is condemned and spoken against He
quoted a chairman of a committee of the M.
E. Church South to show that, if the churches
of America would enforce their rules, 50,009
members would be expelled annually for
drunkenness.
He had been asked if liquor was not sold
under prohibition laws and he answered "yes."
He was asked did not that prove prohibition a
failure and he answered, "no." People should
bear in mind that the area of prohibitory ter
ritory compared to licensed territory as like a
pinhead to angacre. England has bad license
for 200 years, and America for W. If prohibi
tion could be tried for 200 years in England and
96 in America, and then it could be proven' that
it was no more successful in reducing drinking
than license had been, be wonld be willing to
take the stump for the adoption of high license
again.
He spoke of the Maine laws, and said the
further away from Maine one gets the more
testimony can be secured to show that more
liquor is sold under prohibition than was sold
under license laws. He ran over a list of Gov
ernors, Senators, Congressmen, Legislators,
Mayors and prominent men of all parties who
live in Maine and who testify that prohibition
does prohibit, and asked what could be done
with the evidence of these men to contradict it.
Mr. Cheaney also took issue with the asser
tion that man could not be made better by law.
If man can't be made better by law, he said,
with all reverence, that God had made a
mistake. ,
A. M. Brown, John D. Bailey and others
made addresses, and over 200 pledge signers
were secured. Next Sunday Colonel W. D.
Moore will be one of the speakers.
THE LAWRENCETIIiLE MEETINGS.
Afternoon Temperance Services in the Bai
lor Street 01. E. Church.
A temperance meeting for young men in
the Butler Street M. E. Church, was ad
dressed yesterday afternoon by Colonel John
Sobieski, of Missouri. The meeting began at
4:30 and was conducted by Alderman A. H.
Leslie. In Colonel Sobleski'a address be said
that this coming campaign was to be one of
misrepresentations by the liquor men and that
they were overstating in their favor the real
facts in the case.
He also pointed out the damaging results of
intemperance.
Captain J. K. Barbour made a few remarks
and the meeting adjourned.
The services in the evening were well at
tended. Colonel Sobieski delivered a second
address, giving a history of the prohibition
amendment question. He concluded with an
earnest appeal for votes.

I
Dealt to lbs Saloon.
The Emory M. E. Church, on Penn
avenue, East End, was crowded to the doors
last evening by people of all denominations
who gathered to hear ex-Governor Cofquitt,
of Georgia, dearer one of his characteristio
temperance lectures. He took for his text
Deuteronomy xif . "Behold -you see before
yon a blessing and a curse' He said:
The State of Pennsylvania has said to the
people, 'Behold, you see before you a blessing
and a curse.' It is for you to say now whether
you will choose one or the other. There is no
donbt at all in my mind but there will be a
universal response to saying, 'We will choose a
blessing.'
'-'Whatever makes a blessing choose It What
ever builds up young manhood, makes good
citizens, happy homes and loving families, then
youre bound to choose it If you think that
the llqnor traffic has been a blessing, then you
must choose it. Whatever has been a blessing
has been established by the church. Mission
schools, Sunday schools. Christian prayermeet
lngs, have been established as blessings, but
who overheard of any denomination estab
lishing a grog shop. . .
"If it is not a blessine. what is Itt If it has
blasted homes, if it has debauched children
and betrayed husbands, it is a curse. It stimu
lates debauchery in its worst forms. It is the
nursing bed of riots and anarchy. It Is the hot
bed of thefts, and there is no use denying but
that it is a curse. The man who says it is not
is only not a Christian, but IsTa traitor if he re
fuses to vot e against it on June 18.
"Political economy writers lay down four
things which they say are the elements of the
basis of society and morality. They are the
home, church, school and press. If. they would
come to Pennsylvania and bear some of the ar
guments used here about the thrift and pros
perity of the people they would add one more'
element to the five, the llqnor traffic.
"The business interests of the State are not at
stake. When people think it's necessary for
their welfare to promote the Jiquor traffic then
it is time to add it to the elements spoken of.
There is not a bnsiness in the State that would
not be benefited by the abolition of .the liquor
traffic.
"What is the loss to the liquor interests com
pared to the loss of a bright-eyed boyT Tho
latter is put upon the auctioneer's block and
sold tor $500. When it comes to dealing in
boys, girls and human souls I do not know now
to calculate in the matter. It is not a matter
of dollars and cents, but It is a. question of
damning souls to eternity. Tho taxpayer,
though, appears to be satisfied it the State 'gets
$150,000 in revenue and 5,000 men go down in an
endless death. I have only one boy, and al
though I am only a Boor rebel, with little of
this world's goods, T. would not take all the
money in the State of Pennsylvania to see him
turn out a drunkard. If the people of this
great Commonwealth aro going into the fight
on the slate and pencil principle then the
saloon keepers will beat us out of sight
"I wonld like to say a word to these old
Methodists who strut nn and down and say
this is not a question for "them. It is a matter
for the women and children to handle. These
men are a curse and a burden to society,"
HIS T"YENTr REASONS.
Rer. H. B; Grose Gives His motive for Tot
Ins for the Amendment.
Rev. Howard B. Grose, of the Fourth
Avenue Baptist Church, delivered an ad
dress last evening on "Twenty, Beasons
Why. I Shall Vote for Prohibition." His rea
sons were:
"First, I shall vote because I am a citizen, a
a husband and a father, and a vote for prohibi
tion is to the interest of my welfare and my
salvation; second, it will' close the saloon, which
is to-day the chief antagonist o'f-advaneine civ
ilization; third, it will make the' liquor
traffic a crime, and place t it un
der the penalty of .the law; "fourth,
it will place the buyer,, the
seller and maker on the same leveiof illegality;
fifth, it will protect weak men and boys from
themselves, and will save the women; seventh.
It will protect the ballot box from corruption;
eighth, it will decrease crime; ninth, it will
eliminate whisky from politics.'and destroy the
liquor vote; tenth, it will elevate the moral and

THE PRESSING QUESTION.
Dr. E. P. Cowan Delivers a Sermon on
This Now Interesting Subject.
Bev. E. P. Cowan, of the Third Presby
terian Church, delivered an address last'
evening on the subject, "The' Temperance
Question." He advised those interested ,to go
slowly in agitating the question, as they may
commit an error which will prove harmful to'
them. There are two sides to it, and, between
now and June 18, there will be many fierce de
bates on the numerous points In the issne.
The speaker reminded his audience that they
"owe a duty to the yonng andito the women
when deciding this question for themselves.
The many dangers of intemperance were also
pointed out by him.
THE MORMON PROBLEM.
The Edmnnds Law Reported to be Doing
Some Good In Utah.
Fred Deckert, of the Sulphur Mining
Company, of Salt Lake City, registered at
the Duquesne yesterday. He says the Ed

in the territory. He notices, however, that
about the time the administration changes the
judges let up in the prosecutions until they are
reappointed.
Mr. Deckert is opposed to the admission of
Utah as a State until the Mormon problem is
settled. HeNbelieves a money investment there
is safe enough. t
Mr. Deckert also expressed, his.dislike. of a
city that was governed by stringent Sunday
laws. He says that just before trains enter the
State of Kansas the conductor informs the.
passengers to lay in a supply of grog.

Has Caused an Interesting-Controversy
Anions Veterinarians.
THEHOfiSE'SHOLAR'HASITSHERVE,
Tbat Bepires the Same Careful Treatment
as Any Human Tooth.
WHY GOLD FILLING'ISN'T RESORTED TO
The statement of. one .of Pittsburg's veteri
nary surgeons that horses' teeth had no
nerves, which appeared in The Dispatch
some time ago, has created a controversy re
garding equine dentistry, the outcome' of
which is very interesting as well'as instruc
tive. Dr. G. A. TJlrich, who is a dentist on the
Southside, but who has also' studied the an
atomy of the horse very thoroughly, be
cause he is a great lover of the animal,
stated last night in relation .to equine tooth
ache and tooth pulling the following:
'"There is no doubt that horses haVe nerves
in their teeth, the same as human, beings,
because,-had they no nerves, their teeth
would never be painful. It is nonsense to
say that the. animal will only have pain in
its tooth when a stone or a piece of iron gets
into it, because, if there were no nerve noth
ing could produce pain in the tooth, it. being
then without feeling, like a dead bone. No.
the horse is subject to toothache the same as
you or I. It is caused in the horse by 'the same
elements, especially colds,' that produce tooth
ache with us, and the symptoms are entirely
identical. ' '
THE SYMPTOMS OF IT.
"When you notice that a horse kicks or
jumps or twitches while drinking cold water,
or when the cold iron of the bit touches one of
its teeth, you may be sure tbat oneof the nerves
in its teeth is affected,"
"How do you pull a horse's tooth, doctor?"
"The" same way as we extract one from a
human being, the only difference being that
larger forceps are used."
"But how do you save yourself from being
kicked or injured by the pained animal?"
"Well, yon know all horses don't kick. Some
are even quite docile, and sensible enough to
know that you are trying to relieve their pain.
But if tbey are fractious, they are' what is
called 'hobbled,' that is, the legs are tied to
gether." "Are horses teeth ever filled?"'
"They are; but not very often. I only know
of three cases where . such an. operation was
performed. The last time it was done to a
valuable horse in St Louis, November 8, last
year. The reason such an operation is not
often performed is simply this: To extract the
molar is less complicated and much cheaper.
You must take into consideration that a
horse's tooth is many times larger than a
human tooth, and to fill it would therefore
take up a great deal -of time more time in fact
than the horse would have patience for."
"Are horses' teeth filled with gold, the same
as a human tooth f '
VEBY EMPHATICALLY, NO.
"No, sir-eel Why it would cost at least $200
to fill one of their teeth in that way. But the
cost is not the only objection to gold filling;
there are many others. First of all, it wonld
take a man about a week to accomplish such a
job. Besides that you would have to put a
capping over the nerve. I mean by that a non
conductor of heat or cold, such as cement, for
instance. Then again, it would be necessary
for a dentist to 'have a rubber dam, because
while you are filling a tooth with gold you
must be very careful not to get any saliva in
the filling. Now, who would be able to put a
rubber dam into a horse's mouth, and guar-'
anteethat'it would stay there? No; L think
that cold never has been, and never will be
tbns used."
"What could be used, then, as a substitute?"
."The best thing I know of is amalgam; it is
cheaper, and it can be easier applied."
"Now one more thing. Do veterinary sur
geons ever put an equine under the influence
of anaesthetics while drawing his teeth?"
"I never heard of a case where it was done.
Ether, chloroform or any kind of gas would be
so expensive, and the effect of anesthetics
upon animals.is.so little known-that, as a rule,
they are nof used at all. Securing them in
some other way, snch as hobbling, is generally
resorted to, and these-' -means work most satis
factorily." ,
THE CENTRAL. SESSION.
Everybody Confesses 'to' Doing Wrong and
Won't Do so Agalp-The Wife Beater.
"When he s"hall be guilty he shall con
fess his sin," was the text announced at the
Central Station hearing.and Bob murmured:
"Sometimes."
He was wrong this time, It seemed. A wave
of truthfulness seemed to have wafted through
the bars, and as one after another was trotted
out, each prisoner confessed his sins, but
spoiled it by saying he would never do it again,
when the court and the coppers new better.
William Johnston wandered about smashing
windows, and when Jennie Rodgers objected,
be threw snuff in her eyes. "Thirty days," said
His Honor, and Bob said "that's snuff."
Messrs Hames ana Jones. Allegheny kids,
borrowed a young lady's diamond ringand
forgot to return it $13 40 each.
Dick Evans and Dick Thompson were having
lots of f nn Saturday.orderlng drinks and giving
the barkeeper a bluff-for payment It will be
many moons ere either Richard will be himself
again.
Airs. Robert Moore testified: "This man Is
my husband. He comet homes and abuses me
and my daughter." This was enough for
Gripp, and "this man, my husband." will pay
513 40 or go to a place where he will have to
work or lick a mall of his size.
P. China was full, pleaded guilty, and
trembled at the Court's frown. IDischarged,"
was the verdict and that piece of china went
home all broken up.
It was proven that Antona Funiok had stolen
a 10-cent pocketbook from a boy vender. An
tona bad no money to put in it when the Court
was through with him. t
Mr. Shanghnessy Swore his adopted son had
"worked him" for his money, and the proof
was f onnd on Dan's person $8 40 was just his
size. -
OVERBOARD AND DROWNED.
A Blacksmith on .the Steamer Sam Miller
Meets His Death.
John "Wier, a Grant street blacksmith,
aged 38, who leaves a wid6w and four
children, and who had shipped on the last
trip of the 'steamer Sam Miller, owing to
dullness in. his own occupation, was drowned
about 1 o'clock Saturday afternoon at a point
about SO miles below Pittsburg, and not far
from Martin's Ferry. He had been wheeling a
barrow of coal, and, as the boat was running
rapidly and the barrow struck an obstruction,
Wier lost his balance "and fell overboard.
Before the accident was discovered the
steamer had passed the drowning man by 150.
yards, and it took seven minutes to lower a
small boat so that after the drowning man.
had arisen twice, it was too late when rescue
came. It is said- there, was no line or safe
guard around the boat to prevent the accident
The deceased had many friends in Boston.
CAUSE OF THE DELAY.
The Electric Light People Not Famished
With Figures.
It is claimed the delay in placing electric
light arms in the city is due to the delay
ot the Department of Public-Works. Pitts
burg streets are laid out after the crazy-patch
style. Many are narrow, more are wide. The
little difference in the width, however, makes
it necessary to have the arc light arms of. differ
ent lengths, so that they will be. situated In the
center of the street
Men who are employed in the work of put
ting up the lights say tbat the width of - one
street will be given by the department a few
arms will be made and then the others will
have to be changed.
IT IS THE LAW.
Restaurant Keepers Claim They Cannot be
Prosecuted.
Mr. .D. W. Baird, ..Secretary of the Res
taurateurs' Association,' will present, as
evidence ir .the test case in Court this week,
the, opinions of'the United States District At
torney and the State District Attorney on the"
legality of suits. The. former is expected to bo
favorable to the restaurant keepers, as the
United States Courts have decided that hotel
and restaurant keepers ase consumers of oleo
margarine, 'and do not sell it The State's At
torney, it is thought, will take another view.
Restaurateurs claim they give the butter to
their patrons just the same as-they give pickles,
catsup arid sauce. " J "

THE KEWLT DEDICATED WELSH PBE3BYTEBIA1T CHTJBCH.
ThP tipw Welsh Presbyterian Chufch, on , as It Is.with many people in this country to-day.
Second avenue, was dedicated yesterday
with appropriate ceremonies. Preliminary
services were held in the building on
Saturday evening. Those yesterday morn
ing were conducted by 'Bev. T. C. Davies,
pastor. In'his sermon he spoke of the rela
tionship which Christ bears to the world,
and said that without Him nothing can be
done in the church. Bev. Dr. Thomas read
the appropriate scripture lesson and lead in
prayer. Eev. Hugh Davies, of "Wilkesbarre,
delivered a discourse on the subject of "Let
your light shine before men." Mr. Davies
also, in. a prayer, dedicated" the church to the
service of God. During the morning the choir
sang several selections.
The afternoon services were opened by sing
ing and prayer. Rev. F. R. Farrand, pastor of
a Southside Presbyterian Church, delivered a
sermon in Knglisb. He described the Apostle
Panl's visit to Athens and his reception in that
city of learning and fine arts. Although Athens
had attained.the highest rank in wisdom, she
was, with all her gifts, a city of heathen
idolatry. They had not attained the truth.
With the Greek everything was in this world.
A STRANGE STORY.
Rambling Tale by Ida Baxter of a Man
Now Serving In tho Coanty Jail Tho
Woman Who Itoolu Into Pistol Muzzles.
A queer story has turned up in a new
phase, bat" the police are so mystified
that they will not take any steps in the mat
ter until something definite isleamed.
Some months ago a woman, supposed to be
Mrs. Ellsworth, formerly known as IdaBaxter,
appeared at Alderman Porter's oftice and said
she had just returned from Kansas City. She
then went on to tell a rambling, incoherent
tale of which The Dispatch published as
much as was safe at the time in regard to
sundry and mysterious things she had done at
the point of the revolver, and hinted at things
even worse.
Yesterday the woman went to Inspector Mc
Aleese and repeated her former tale, with
many additions;' but" as said before, nothing
will be done until she collects evidence, as she
says is her intention. Mrs. Baxter went on to
say she was a daughter of Rev. Thomas Calla
han, formerly of Canonsburg, and her tale con
cerned one Ellsworth, now serving a term in
jail.

she met Patterson in this city, and of his
strange actions, and of what she was obliged
to do at the point of a revolver, and
how William Thaw gave her money to
go to Indiana in order to leave Ells
worth, who followed and took her to Kansas
.City. They came back to Pittsburg, and sno.
asked Alderman-Porter to aid her in leaving
him. She then went ont sewing for Allegheny
people, and heard of Ellsworth's marriage to
Maggie Drake, of Allegheny. She then sued
him, and as a result he is now in jail, but will
soon be out She says she has grave suspicions;
she is' determined to learn more of his past life
and McAleese told her to secure what evidence
she could and come to him.
She says her father Is in Missouri, partially
insane from the effects of a fall from a horse
some years ago.

In man there is a universal seeking after
God. In no way was this more exemplified
than in ancient Athens with her 30.000 gods
and four philosophies. "When," said he.'your
blood flows like wine and the world is fair, hu
man affections will suffice to meet this yearn
ing; but In trials, and where the world Is dead,
you seek for a higher love than tbat of man.
"The world still bows down to idols and the
teachings of the epicurean and stoic philoso
phers. The great danger which is threatening
the world to-day Is the insidious doctrine of ag
nosticism, or the doctrine of T don't know' or
'I can't know.' The poison is laying hold of'
hundreds of thousands of men to-day. It is
the old Athenian altar to the unknown Qod
rebnilt They do not accept the truth, because
if tbey did. it would condemn them. God will
never be Known to long as onr knowledge of
him is merely mental knowledge. He must
be known in the heart ,
