r
keeper bad any doubt whatever of the age
of a customer he should not take the cus
tomer's word. He should simply refuse to
sell, no matter what thedeclarations of the
customer. The mere Tact of a saloon
keeper's being forced to ask the question,
be continued, was sufficient evidence of
the doubtful age of the customer to make it
an inexcusable risk for the saloon keeper to
supply the liquor demanded.
Lochner is under indictment for selling
to minors.
Joseph Beiss was asked how he would
tell when a man was drunk.
"When his eyes gets liddle," answered
Joseph.
"Oh, I thought, on the contrary, that
liquor was a sort of eye-opener," rejoined
the Court, while the court room went ofi
into a roar of laughter. "Now, define a
drunken man in some other way, sir?"
"When he falls down," answered Joseph.
Jos. TJnger, the next applicant, said a
man was drunk when "he got to fooling
around."
At one time in the proceedings Judge
White remarked that hundreds of letters
that are piling up on his desk with the in
coming oi every mail are bothering him
considerably. They come in the form of
petitions and remonstrances from every
class ot people and often the same name ap
pears on half a dozen or so papers. These
stock names, like stock witnesses, have
very little weicht with His Honor.
In speaking of letters coming from the
wives of workingmen who spend their
money and time in saloons to the neglect of
their family. Judge White said:
"I will say right here that my sympa
thies are with the families of these working
men and.not with the saloon keepers, who
merely want a license to make money with
out having to work for it"
SHE OXLY DID AS OTHERS.
Sarah Ann Hammill, 329 Thirty-third
street, said she was refused a license last
year, and sold illegally because men were
doing so who were able to earn a living.
She stopped and started a grocery store, but
this did not pay. The Court told her she
would receive consideration.
Thos. J. Carey, Kb. 533 Tustin street,
keeps a saloon. His receipts vary.
"There are no needs for a restaurant in
your locality?" said the Judge.
"No, sir."
"All they want are drinks?"
"Yes, sir."
"What kind of men visit your saloon?"
"Mostly mill men."
"According to your statement yon receive
S50 a day for liquor alone. The great por
tion comes from married men who work in
the mill. Don't you think their families
need that money more than you do?"
After several evasions, he finally ad
mitted that their families needed the money
more than he did.
Tour object Is to mate money," said His
Honor.
"Yes, sir."
"Yon don't csie for their families?"
'Yea, I do," he said, hesitatingly.
"Your object 16 .only to mate money, and yon
don't care for tbolr families. That's all. Call
the next."
LEAST SAID, SOOXEST MENDED.
Michael Collins, Second avenue, was refused a
license last year and could give no sufficient reason
why he should get one this year. That ended his
case.
Evan Davis, So. MS Second avenue, has a
saloon and small restaurant.
"A great many mill men drlnt at your saloon,"
said His Honor.
"Yes, sin they come there with their prub and
get a bucket of beer and drink. If they have not
thne to remain they taVeit down to the mill and
drink It with their grub. 'They sometimes take it
home in their buckets." His easels not hope
lets. Christ Dunn, Io 690 beeond avenue, was re
fund a license last year and thought It necessary
to have a saloon, as it was three or four minutes'
walk from the nearest saloon. The would-be
drinker will Ukely have to walfclt.
John DinkeL No. 638 Fifth avence. was refused
a license and thought It was necessary, as many
teamsters passed his house and wanted to water
their horses. ,. . .
It is not necessary to have a license to water
yourhorse," said Judge White. "There are 33
applicants in the Fourteenth ward. Do you think
thev are all necessary!" ' .
"No. sir."
Well, name the ones that are not."
"I don't know."
What did yon do this pait year?"
"I wasa laborer."
"There are a great many laborers in this city
wno are making a living.''
Yes, sir."
'Do you own the house?"
Yes. sir."
Then you are better off than many laborers,
and you want to take the money from other laborr
ers in order to enrich yourseir. That's all."
Darby Finnerty, lio. 1326 beeond, is a teamster,
and was retused a license last year. He could not
answer His Honor's questions satisfactorily, and
Mr. Christy remarked at the close of his examina
tion that Mr Finnerty. the applicant, was a per
sistent violator or the law last year. He will
likely have to keep on driving teams.
"THAT WILL DO."
Christian Foerinzier, No. 944 Fifth avenue,
keeps a restaurant at present, and wants to keep a
saloon. His Honor cut off his examination with
the remark "That will do," and his chances for
a saloon license are rather slim.
John G. Gfogan, No. 102 Tustin street, keeps a
boarding house and saloon. His receipts were
from fl5 to ?2 a day. He said his receipts on
Saturday were from $75 to 8100 a day. After press
ing him His Honor gained the above answers.
He said bis 14-year-old boy tended bar when he
was at his meals.

missed the applicant. The boy tending bar will
e idently bear against him.

House, Oakland. His receipts run all the way
from SIS to 815 a d ay up to S75. J udge Wh lte ques

license. He furnished meals when called for.
How many a day 5"'
I have furnished five meals since the 1st of

calls for meals."
"What are vour sales?"
"About f "a day."
'What are your highest sales on fcaturday?' '
Eighty dollars on pay Saturdays, -ana 40 on
the other Saturdays."
I have no doubt 3 ou furnished as many meals
per day as men who testified they furnished Ave
or ten times as many. 1 like your truthfulness."
Erustlne Glockner, 530 Tustin street, did not ap
ply last year, as her two children bad died, and

was dismissed. Her husband now works in a
glasshouse.

four beds In each room in his house and has irom
10 to20 meal ers and lodgers.

Her examination was short and sweet. She will
continue to sell cigars and tobacco.
John Lauler. No. 3801 Filth avenue, now has a
license and says he lives up strictly to the law.
His opportunities for a new license are fair.
Henry J. Link, No. 470 Forbes street, was the
only native born American who applied during
tne afternoon.
"Why do you want a license?" said Judge
White
The prime object is to make a living."
"What dla yon do before that?"
"I was in the iron business."
Whv did you leave the iron business?"

a letter lfvou wish."
The applicant gave his answers clearly and
favorably and was a very Intelligent looking man.

ing nothing, as he was troubled with the rheuma
tism. His examination was easy. His chances
for doing nothing are good.
alary Lynch, 836 Second avenue Her husband,
disappeared two years ago and nothing has been
nesra of him. She has four children and her
mother to support. Has for the past year been
keeping boarders and mealers. Her chances are

Patrick Murray, 753 Forbes street.
'What have you been doing the past year?"
"Digging."
"Drinking?" said Judge White.
'No, sir; digging a cellar."
"Digging the same cellar all winter?'1 asked the
Judge.
NOT THERE FOE FUN.
The question caused much laughter. "I do not
care to ask questions thatwlU cause laughter,"
said Judee White, "but Fwant to get at the bot
tom or this matter."
Murray was confused and his examination was
short.
James Madden, Second avenue, hasasaloonand
restaurant. Judge White questioned htm if it
would not be better if these men take their money
home to their families.
'Well, I don't know. " he answered.
"It would not be. better for you?" said His
Honor.
"No. sir."
These men keep accounts at your saloon, do they
not?
Yes, sir."
'What do these accounts amount to?"
After many evading answers he testified the
amount varied from (1 SO to 3 every two weeks.
It was at this house that a man named Murray

who assisted the District Attorney in the prosecu
tion, said that Jndge Ewingand the District At

the killing In the house.

fied that on Black Saturday he received from S50 to
SS0 a dav. and on the other Saturdays about tlOO.
Elizabeth McDonald, 803 Fifth avenue, is a little,
pleasant-faced lady who occupies the house and
has a family of live. She did not apply last year,
as she thought she could hardly make enough to
pay the license.
"Is It not very risky for you to have a license
when you have boys who drink?" asked Judge
White.
"Yes, sir."
Thomas 1'urdon, No. 822 Fifth avenue, keeps a

self." 'Do you ever tend bar?"
"Y'es. sir. on Saturday night, when there's a
push, I help them."
Dd j ou ever have any trouble In the house?"
".Vo, sir; she keeps things straight."
The old lady evidently kept the saloon, and all
Mr. P. had to do was to get a license. His testi
mony was amusing.
Ernest K. Kuscb, No. 3713 Forbes street, has a
saloon and keeps the law. He will likely continue
to obey the law and keep his saloon.
A. balboch. No. 434 Forbes street, was refused a
license last year and has been in the furniture
business. After a few questions. Judge White
remarked, "Well, I'll think about It."
Magnus Walz, No. 782 Second avenue, was re
fused a license. He kept a restaurant, but failed
to make any money and shut It up. Judge White
remarked that it showed that a restaurant was not
neecssary, and called for the next applicant.
Frederick Wecht. No. 530 Forbes street. Is a
German who works In a mill. His examination
was but a repetition of a dozen others. This closed
the Fourteenth ward.

plied before and works In the mill. He will likely
continue to work in the mill.
L. U. Ebert, 3404 Butler street, keeps a saloon.
Altera few ques Ions he admitted that he sold to
a man whose wife had notified him not to sell to
her husband, as he was a habitual drunkard.
"I cannot conceive of a greater evil In society
than a liquor shop which is rnn simply to make
money, lb amount of money which the liquor
men make and thus robtamllies Is the strongest

placed upon a certain portion of the hill dis

WILL MAKE PIPE IKON.
An Old -Iron Mill to Be Started tn a Short
Time,
The Cartwrightlron Works, better known
as the Alikanna Mill, situated about two
miles east of Steubenville, is to be started
up on Monday, April 1, by the National Tube
and Boiling Mill Company of McKeesport.
Nearly all the men who are to work in it are
from Pittsburg mills. The puddling depart
ment will be under the management of Mr.
John Clemens, a Sonthside puddler. A num
ber of pnddlers and helpers from Lindsay fe
McCntcheon's mill have notified their man
ager that they intend to quit and go to work in
the Alikanna mill.
This mill was originally built with 12
single puddling urnacps and two trains of. fin
ishing rolls. The main product was to turn ont
light iron, with cotton ties a specialty, bnt since
the spring of 18S2 it has been idle. It has been
enlarged recently and there are now 20 single
and one donble puddling furnaces, with a
capacity to turn out about 45 tons of muck iron
a day. All of this iron is to be rolled intopipe
iron and shipped to the pipe mill at McKees
port. The fuel used will be slack and cold
blast. This makes five mills making nothing
but pipe iron for this pipe mill.
THE VETERANS DANCE.
Light Comedy nnd OInalc Amuse the Mem
hers of the Alex. Hays Post.
The General Alex. Hays Post No. 3, G.
A. ., gave their annual reception and en
tertainment yesterday evening at the Forbes
street Turner Hall.
The latter was tastefully decorated with
the national buntmg, and also that of foreign
countries. Anoticeablc featnre was a series of
bannerets, each bearing the name of one State
in the Union, making a very neat display. The'
first part of the entertainment consisted of a
comedy entitled "The Jerseyman," under the
direction of 3. C. Kober, and an audience ot
about 500 witnessed the rise of the curtain.
The comedy was well presented and equally
well received, as it succeeded in entertaining
the audience until 10:30, when dancing became
the order of the evening although the old war
horses would have it "order of the day."
Supper was served in the basement dining
rooms, and the Great Western Orchestra, un
der the leadership of Prof. Weiss, "tuned their
harps" for the lovers of the dance.
The entertainment was a great financial suc
cess, several hundred having been netted by
the Post, although the exact amount cannot
yet be determined.

THE
NEW NATIONAL BMJL
A $300,000 Institution Bears Its Head
Over the Defunct F. and M.
fl. SELLERS M'KEE IS PEESIDENx1,
With a Goodly List of Prominent Financial
names on the Hoard.
S0UTHSIDERS REJOICE AT THE NEWS
Certain business negotiations have been
concluded, and as a result, a new Southside
bank is to be established.
Some of the names connected with the en
terprise are of such high standing in the
community as men of successful business
careers that nobody need entertain the least
anxiety as to the stability of the new bank
ing concern.
The institution will occupy the building
of the defunct Farmers and Mecanics' Bank,
and negotiations for purchasing the place
are about being concluded. The deed will
be handed over to the members of the new
corporation by April 1, and to judge by the
preparations now in progress, the new in
stitution will be opened during the month
of May or June.
A gentleman who is closely connected
with the enterprise stated yesterday that it
had been a prearranged matter between the
gentlemen at the head of the proposed bank
and Mr. Mayor that they would buy the build
ing from him.
A FBOMINENT FINAITCIAIi HEAD.
When this informant was asked as to the
names of the men who are to be at the head of
the concern, he said:
"Mr. H. Sellers McKee will be the President,
and Mr. D. O. Cunningham and several other
prominent Sonthside business men will put a
great deal of money into the concern."
'What kind of a bank is it going to be; a
stock company?"
"The institution will be a national bank of
$300 000 capital stock."
"Can you tell me some other gentlemen who
will be among the Board of Directors?"
"Yes, there are about 16 ot them, I believe.
Mr. H. Gearing belongs to them, Mr. F. Rohr
kaste, Messrs. Campbell and several other
prominent business men. Anyhow, whoever
will be in it, will be a responsible and reliable
man. Why the name of Sellers McKee is suf
ficient assurance that the new bank will be
ONE OF THE SOUNDEST
and most solid banking institutions we have in
this city, and that money will be made right
from the start is a certainty. The people on
the Sonthside want another bank, and the lo
cation on the corner of South Eighteenth and
Carson streets, js the most desirable in the
entire district.'!
When some of the best known business men
on the Sonthside were spoken to on the sub
ject, and were asked for their opinion as to the
new banking corporation, there seemed to a
sigh of happy relief given by everybody.
"Well, it is a good thing," some otthem said,
"for the people on this side of the river. An
institution of that kind and in the hands of
such men as McKee, Cnnningham and others,
is bound to gam confidence among our business
men. and it will .certainly improve the business
on the Southside very considerably."
THEY WANT OUR OPINIONS.
Dayton Citizens RIehtly Think That We
Know All About Gas A Letter That
Pitches Into Pittsburg Companies.
Mayor McCallin yesterday received a let
ter from the Mayor of Dayton, O., request
ing information as to the uses and abuses.of
natural gas as used here. The City Coun
cils of Dayton last year granted to the Dayton
Gas Company the privileses of the city streets
for natural gas pipe laying.
The agreement was that the company should
furnish gas to everybody at three-fourths the
cost of coal. The company began to lay its
pipes to the wells 60 miles distant. They laid
but 30 miles of pipe within the 'limit of time'
given them. They asked 40 days grace, but the
City Council held them to their contract. They
refnsed to permit the company to connect its
line with the pipes laid in the city, unless the
company would agree to rednce the price of
gas which was stipulated in the contract. The
company replied that they could not afford to
do so.
Councils then sent a committee to visit sev
eral gas cities, to learn what the arrangements
were with thecas companies. Pittsburg was
the most important point of observation.
In the letter the Philadelphia and the Alle
gheny Heating Companies come in for a very
large share of condemnation. Both are re
ferred to as "monopolies." and are charged
with bavinc increased the price of gas far
above that of coal. The Philadelphia Com
pany Is reported to have declared a dividend of
10 per cent on its capital stock for the year
ending March 31, 1888, but as the capital stock
was not paid np. the dividend really amounted
to from 40 to 60 per cent. This, it is alleged by
the committee, in face of the, fact that the
rates to consumers were then one-third less
than now and the company spending large
sums for improvements and betterments. The
movement of Allegheny citizens against the
natural gas rates was reviewed.
It is stated in the letter that the business
men of Dayton are not in sympathy with the
action of the City Councils. Theyaskforreliable
statement of good authority on the uses and
abuses of natural gas in this city, and an
opinion on the report of the Council commit
tee, which they evidently do not believe.
THE M0N0N CONDEMNATION.-
Viewers Spend n Day at Lqck No. 7 The
Masonry Found Inferior They Will
Meet Again In This City on' April 8.
The Monongahela navigation delegation
that left this city Wednesday afternoon to
view lock and dam Ko. 7, about 95 miles up
the river, arrived in Monongahela City last
night at 10 o'clock.
They had reached the lock at 9 o'clock
yesterday morning, and spent considerable
time in examining It in all its details. To sat
isfy their curiosity they then proceeded 16
miles further up the river, to see lock and dam
No. 8, which is now being constructed by the
Government. After viewing this dam, which
is to cost $236,000, the viewers organized, elect
ing John Snlllvan Chairman and. George A
Kelly Secretary, and took the preliminary
testimony of William Bakewell, Treasurer of
the Navigation Company, which developed
nothing new. The masonry of 'lock and dam
No. 7was apparently very inferior in quality
and not of the most substantial character.
One of the disinterested gentlemen who was
with the party, and who is thoroughly familiar
with the condition of the company's affairs
and future prospects, said last night that, had
the Government waited but a few years longer,
the, Navigation Company's business, which
suffers more and more each year by reason of
the. construction of railroad lines along the
Tlver. wonld have decreased so alarmingly that
the company would willingly accept any reas
onable proposition the Government might
As it is, however, a bitter local fight will fol
low the Government's action in this case. The
viewers adjourned to meet in this city on April
8 at S o'clock.
A STRANGE CASE.
A Young Allegheny Girl Accused of Steal
Ing Her Dead Mother's Watch. '
Mayor Pearson, of Allegheny, had a con
sultation with a young lady last evening
which continued for about an hour. At
the close of the interview he stated to a Dis
patch reporter that the young, lady was Miss
Meyer, daughter of Fred Meyer, formerly a
shoe dealer on Ohio street. The father in
formed the Mayor in the morning that his wife
had died several weeks ago and his daughter
took her watch, some articles'of clothing, and
other articles, which he wanted her to return.
The Mayor wrote a note to the girl asking
her to.call, and she was on band last evening.
She emphatically denied having taken her
mother's watch or anything that belonged to
her, but stated that her father or "brother had
collected 9 due her for wages earned In a
store in this city. As the girl became of age
last month, she believes she is entitled to the
money. The Mayor agreed to investigate the
matter.

PROHIBITION IN THE EAST END.
Evangelist Bnliey Bcclns n Series of Lec
tures tn Liberty Hall, Under the Aus
pices of the W. O. T. U.
The announcement of the fact that Col
onel S. T. Bailey had been secured by the
members of the Women's Christian Tem
perance Union to lecture for them at Lib
erty Hall, East End, attracted quite an
audience to that place last night to hear
what the Evangelist had to say on the subject
of prohibition.
The speaker had no idea of leaving anybody
in doubt as to what he was going to say, and
he started as soon as the opportunity presented
Itself.
"Ladies and gentlemen," he commenced, "I
am going to be here for ten days and we will
hold meetings In this hall every evenlnc. Now,
what I propose to do in that time is this: I
mean to talk to you about the saloons, the
saloonkeeper, liquor and the liquor traffic I
will show you what these institutions have
done and are doing in this country, feeline
confident that, after I am through, yon will
exactly know how you stand and on which side
you belong. Now, I venture to say that this
question of prohibition is not half understood
by the people of Pennsylvania.
"The saloon is an institution, is based on
superstition and ignorance, there is not a ves
tige of intelligence about it. The refined and
better educated class of citizens won't have
anything to do with it. Why 45 years ago we
did not know what a saloon was in this country,
we did not know the name of such a thing. It
was brought here by foreigners, and to-day
three-fourths of the saloons of this country are
owned by people who emigrated to this country.
"Mind yon.I amnotan enemy of immigration,,
but I do protest against the foreigners
who convert our homes into places of desola
tion, who make onr men drunkards and our
children the prey of vice and intemperance.
"So far the liquor trade has been powerful.
Even the law has shed its lnstre aronud it and
has protected it Now that roust bo stopped.
"Last year we made a compromise by the In
troduction of a high license bill, but even that
must be abolished.- We cannot take half meas
ures any more; no, we must have prohibition in
its fullest and most comprehensive sense.
That is the only thing that. -Kill save our
homes, churches and schools, the fundamental
institutions of a civilized nation, and durine
the time that 1 shall be here I will give you suf
ficlent reasons to justify our demands."
These lectures will be continued for ten days
In Liberty Hall. '

FRIDAY, MABOED . i22,
NO MORE EXPLOSIONS.
i
All Steamboat Boilers Over 10 Years
Old Must bo Drilled.
THE FIRST TEST UNDER THE LAW,
Riyer Men of This City Agitating the
Eepeal of the Act.
THEY WAST TO OABRi OIL BARRELS
The United States authorities have issued
a new rnle which will place a stronger
safeguard around steam boilers, and proba
bly put a stop, in a measure, to the great
loss of life on steamboats caused by the ex
plosion of boilers.
The new law is causing a great amount
of indignant comment among boat owners
of Pittsburg, aud an effort will be made to
have it repealed.
The first boat to be inspected under the
new law was the towboat Scout, of this city.
Inspectors Neeld andtiSullivan carefully
examined her yesterday, and issued a certifi
cate for another year.
The boilers of the boat are about 12 years
old, and to find the thickness of the plates
holes had to be drilled in them. This neces
sarily takes a great amount of time, which
means a greater amount of money to the boats
when the river is falling and the tows have
been mado np to go out. It takes about a day
to make an inspection under the new law, and
about the time it is completed and steam has
been raised again, the river may have fallen to
below a coalboatlng stage.
CLEAB CUT AlfD CONCISE. I
The following is a copy of the new law:
Any boiler having been in use 10 years or more,
shall, at each annual inspection thereafter, be
drilled at points near the water line and at the
bottom of the shell of the boiler, or such other
?olnts as the local Inspectors may direct, to de
ermine the thickness of such material at those
points, and the general conditions of such boiler
or boilers at the time of such inspection, and the
thickness 01 such material shall be determined
thereafter at each annual Inspection, and the
steam pressure allowed -shall be governed by such
ascertained thickness and general condition of the
boiler.
In speaking of the matter yesterday Inspec
tor Neeld said: "I understand that the Coal
Exchange is going to take some action on the
new law, and they will probably make an effort
to have it repealed. They claim that it is a
positive injury to their business, but do not
recognize the fact that it is a measure for the
preservation of human life. When a boiler has
been in use a number of years it
CORRODES ON THE INSIDE
and in some weak spots in the plate it becomes:
very thin. This continues for some time until
the pressure is too great, and the boiler bursts.
"The boilers of a boat have to be inspected
every year, A boat may arrive in the city just
about the time the inspection is due. The river
may be falling, and the7 want , to get out as
soon as -possible with a tow. Naturally they
want to getthe inspection over as soon as they
can, and in most cases it takes but a short time
for us to do the worki Under the new law.
when a boiler is over 10 years old, we have to
have it drilled and riveted np again. With a
large boat this will take abont a day. The
river men say that by the time we are through,
and tbey have their boilers pumped up again,
the water may be too low for them to go ont."
The result of the inspection of the Scout's
boilers showed the sheets to be 25-100 of an
inch thick. They were when built 20 and had
only been worn 1-100 of an inch. The.
hydrostatic test snowed a pressure of 187 pounds
to the square inch, and tbe engineer was allowed
a working pressure of 125 pounds.
MAKING ANOTHER KICK.
The river men are also going to agitate the
repeal of tbe law prohibiting them from carry
ing empty oil barrels on steamboats. Captains
Cox and Chancellor, of the up river packets,
say they are losing hundreds of dollars by the
prohibition. They have been doing a good
trade carrying the barrels between this city
and all points up the Monongahela. The rail
roid companies are now getting this business
and charge over twice tbe rates on the boats.

explosions in the holds of steamboats. Empty
oil barrels generate a hydro carbon gas, which
if gathered in sufficient quantity will run along
the decks of a boat until it reaches her boilers.
Then there is an explosion. i
It la said : that some of the boat owners are
getting over the law by bavins some water put

PARDONED .FR0JOHE PEN.
John Powell, of the Amalgamated Associa
tion, to be Released To-Day.
The pardon of John Powell, who is serv
ing a term in the Western Penitentiary,
was well received by the members of the
Amalgamated Association, of which he was
a prominent member. Mr. Powell will leave
the Institution to-day, having served six years
of a nine years' sentence for felonious assault
and battery.
The pardoned man was a member of Brad
dock lodge, now defunct. He and two others
were charged with entering an old man's house
at Turtle Creek for the purpose of robbery,
but were detected by the owner, who was as
saulted and badly beaten. Three men were
arrested and tried before Judge Klrkpatrick
and sentenced to nine years' imprisonment.
Evidence was brought out at the trial that
Powell had been in William Reese's bonse on
Liberty street, on the night of the assault, and
could not possibly have been implicated in the
affair.
Nothing was done in tbe matter by the Amal
gamated Association or any labor organization
until last July, when the case, was bronght up
at a meeting of the Trades Assembly. John
Phillips, of the Window Glass Workers' Asso
ciation and L. A. 300, E. of L., and Secretary
Martin were appointed a committee to investi
trato and bring the case before the Pardon
Board. They succeeded in getting tbe
signatures of eight of the jurymen who
convicted him, the others being dead,
recommending the pardon. They also
obtained a letter from Judge Eirkpatrick,
the only claim made in the proceedings being
that the sentence was unusually severe. All'
his friends, however, believe he Is innocent,
(secretary Martin expressed himself as very
well pleased with the result and will endeavor
to get the man a position in one of tbe mills.
The pardon will, arrive this morning and
Powell will be a free man at noon.
EMMA ABBOTT AS NORMA TO-NIGHT.
To-Morrow Last Day of the Opera.
To-night for the first time in many years
Pittsburgers will have 'an opportunity of
hearing Bellini's greatest work, "Norma."
The opera contains more beautiful music
than any other composition by this great
writer. The great "Casta Diva," the in
spiring "Druids Chorus," the magnificent
duet "IolJbn Son,".the famous trio "Wilt
Thou Fly to Rome With He," the grand
duet "Hear Me, Norma," and the grand
finale "Oh, Thou Art My Father," are some
of the gems of this famous work. To-morrow,
Saturday; the .last day of the opera,
Emma Abbott will sing at both the'matinee
and night performances. The latest Gilbert
and Sullivan opera, "The Yeomen of the
Guard, or The Merryman and His Maid,"
will be sung at the matinee, with Emma
Abbott and the entire companv in the cast.
And at night the farewell performance, the
tuneful opera, "Bohemian Girl," will be
given; and it is safe to say that no other
company renders the music of this standard
opera Xd well as does the Emma Abbott
Company. Miss Abbott will appear as
Ariine, and every member of the company
will take part in the closing performance.
As an extra attraction for Saturday night,
and in response to the many requests re
ceived dqring the week. Miss Abbott has
kindly consented to give her famous rendi
tion of "The Last Eose of Summer." J

EXPELLED FOE COWARDICE.
A Prominent Lodge of tbe Amalgamated
Association Is Fired by President Welbe
This Week.
O'Xeary Lodge No. T, of the Amalgamated
Association, has" been expelled for cow
ardice, and President Weihe has revoked
their charter. This lodge was composed of
iron and steel workers employed at the
Wheeling steel plant at Ben wood, W. Va.
The trouble at this mill will be remem
bered. Last June the firm refused to
recognize the Amalgamated Association
scale, but signed one presented
by the Local Assembly of N. T. U. 217, K. of
L. This scale was rejected by the amalgamated
men who claimed it was lower than their scale.
The firm finally refused to recognize any labor
organization, but announced that they would
employ all the men needed at their workvas
individuals, and pay as high wages as are paid
at any other mill.
At a meeting of O'Leary lodge it was decided
to accept the proposition, but a number of men
voted against it. A meeting of the Executive
Board of the Second district was held and the
following action was taken:
Resolved, That the strike be declared off. and
the Executive Committee request the Preslaent
of tbe National Lodge to revoke the charter or
said lodge for cowardice, there being no attempt
made by the company to start tbe mill or to bring
other men to work In said mill. It being a clear
fase of ' "squeal" before they were hurt, there be
ng no excuse for them, not one of them, being
able to say they were In straitened circumstances.
Kesolved, That the members or said lodge who
voted to continue the strike be granted cards by
the National Lodge and be commended for the
part they took In trying to maintain the rules of
the association, and that we condemn the aotlon
of those voting to go to work for the cowardice
shown by them during the. strike, and that their
names beput on record.
Tbe desired action was taken this week by
President Weihe, and the charter of the lodge
has been recalled. The members of thelodre
who voted against returning to work will be
granted cards which will entitle them to work
in any Amalgamated Association mill in the
country.
MARTIN ON THE STEEL COMBINE.
The Secretary of tbo Amalgamated Thinks
It Will Redace Wages,
Secretary Martin, of the Amalgamated
Association, will express his opinion of the
steel rail combination in the editorial columns
of the Labor Tribune this week. He will
say:
If the rumor of the proposed consolidation of
the three large steel rail mills In Illinois North
Chicago Boiling Mill Company, Which includes
South Chlcagomllls, Joliet Steel Company and the
Union Steel Company materializes. It will simply
make the light for orders between tbe consolidated
firms and their more fortunate competitors more
keen In the future than It has been In tbe past. It
will reduce competition In that State, Illinois, to
a minimum, and therefore leave the State untram
meled and free within Its borders to compete with
outsiders for the trade. Whether this proposed
gigantic combine, backed nn by a capital stock ot
(25,000,000, will outrival Its most formidable com
petitor, the Edgar Thomson, remains to be seen,
since the latter has such a great advantage over
the former In the single but Important Item of
cheap fuel.
Bather than advance tbe selling price of their
product, the consolidation (unless a syndicate of
all steel mills Is formed) will tend to reduce It, as
It is patent on the face of the project that the new
deal, with that shrewd business man, O. W. Pot
ter, at Its head, will cut deep In order to secure
the trade. And right here is where tbe workmen
are most affected and Interested tn the proposed
new order or things. This will apply to the work
men In all tbe steel rail mills East and West. It
competition Is carried on to the extent that the
combine would Indicate, It means diminished
profits, no matter what new appliances or im
provements are Introduced, and, as Is customary,
the workmen will be drawn upon to make up the
difference by reducing their wages.
By some this may be considered allttle previous,
but long experience In trade matters has taught
us that nothing short of a thorough consolidation
on tbe part of the men In all the mills, and the es
tablishment of a minimum price for their work,
will prevent the reducing of their wages as here
in Indicated, if the proposed combine is consum
mated time will tell how near we are In our pre
dictions. In the meantime the workmen will do
well to keep an eye to the leeward.
THE GLASS TKADE.
An Official Report of the Condition of
Affairs In tbo Country.
The official report of the condition of the
glass trade compiled by the Ohio Valley
Budget is appended: There are 1,081 win
dow glass pots in operation In the country and
228 are idle. This is an increase of 26 idle pots
compared with last week's report, which is due
to the burning of the factory of Stewart,
Estep & Co., at Marion, Ind.
Tbe Chicago bottle house has suspended
operations owing to the" falling in of a cap.
This factory may not be able to resume until
tbe next fire. The flin: trade is dull in tbe
Ohio Valley, and is improving in the East. It
is good at Tarentum and East Liverpool.

the right to use tbe machinery in this State,
and have leased a mill In Philadelphia. They
expect to turn out from 60 to 80 tons of finished
iron a day.

OfDODBLF, STRENGTH.
Significant Improrements Being Made Along
tbe Low Grade Division of the Alle
gheny Taller Railroad.
The Low Grade division of the Allegheny
Valley Railroad was originally intended to
be a great freight line across the mountains.
J. Edgar Thomson once conceived the idea
of extending the snrvey of this route across
the? country north of the Allegheny to
Yonngstown, O.
Before the oil pipe lines were constructed
a vast amount of oil was sent East over this
route, the Allegheny Valley Railroad low;
grade division connecting with tha Philadel
phia and Erie Railroad at Driftwood, although
the Allegheny Valley Railroad crews took the
oil trains as far as RenoTO, on the Philadelphia
and Erie, and from there crews took them via
Wllllamsport and Harrlsbnrg to Philadelphia.
It is significant now that all improvements
made on the low grade division are made of
double strength. Bridges are built to bear
twice the burden old ones do, and with room
for double tracks. The freight traffic just now
is light on the upper end of the division, so
that many people think that some time in the
future tbe Pennsylvania Railroad Company
may utilize the line for freight purposes. Its
grade across the mountains isffolfebtcompared
with tbe main line of the P. R. R. that it is
better calculated for rapid and cheap freight
shipment.
