Auction Sale of Sdme Bemarfc able Oil Paintings, LEFT BY MB. JOHN SCOTT. Historical Scenes of Early Pittsbnrg JPut ia Colors, BY THE BRUSH OPFAMODS BLITHE. Connoisseurs Attending the Sale Bo Some liTelj Bidding. 6T0EIES ATTACHED TO THE PICTUBES Hany connoisseurs ia art attended the auction sale of household effects at the man sion of the late John Scott, President of the Allegheny Valley Railroad, at the corner of Shad j lane and Forbes street. This led to spirited bidding for some historical old paintings which Mr. Scott had possessed ever since he bought them from the cele brated artist who made them, but -which, ac cording to the railroad magnate's trill, had to be sold -with other of his possessions. Neatly all the wealthy families of the East End were represented at the sale. By all odds the most valuable oil paint ins placed under the hammer Tras that en titled "A Democratic Procession." It was one of the masterpieces of Blythe, the Pitts burs artist of olden times, whose fame was world-wide. The picture is about 2430 inches in size, and is framed in heavy carved oak. It was finally knocked down to John Newell for $150. Some persons, es pecially older inhabitants of the city, hare been known to estimate its real value as high as $500. X BEJIABKABLE PAIKTING. The painting is a remarkable one. It is the representation of a scene in Pittsburg politics in the campaign in which JlcClel lan ran for President The artist has painted upon the canvass a faithful picture of the old office of the Post, at the corner of Fifth avenue and "Wood street, where the First National Bank building now stands. Passing in review before it is a Democratic 'procession, which Blythe has car icatured. The more distinct faces in the line are intended to represent Jndge Shaler, John Irwin and other prominent (Pittsburgers long since dead. A notable feature is a wagon in which are little girls dressed in white. A sign on the wagon reads "Soft Soap." The grand marshal rides an old white crowbate of a horse, which is in the act of backing into an awn ing post. The marshal flourishes a whisky bottle instead of a sword. An old fellow in the rear is beating a drnm for dear life. Blythe painted two faces in the upper story windows of tne Post office. One he intended tor Colonel James P. Barr, the editor, and the other a printer's devil. A bulletin board in front of the office reads: "Latest News Little Mac is in consulta tion with "Woodward." ANOTHEB OF BLYTHE'S. Another of Blythe's works was sold for J45. It was an oil painting of "Old Pap Beitler." It shows this pioneer Boniface of the East Liberty valley stirriug up the fire in his old-time hostelry. -He is stooping over the great, old-fashioned cadaverous fire grate raking up the red hot coals with a long poker. His weather-beaten face is shown to good advantage and is said to be exceedingly life-like. It appears that all old inhabitants who remember "Pap" Beitler (and there are lew left) delight to tell of his peculiarity to let nobody stir the hotel fires but himself. The artist caught him iu his most familiar atti tude. The- picture is 12x18 inches. Beit ler's Hotel was the popular stage coach tav ern and road house in East Liberty in ye olden time. It stood on Penn avenue, where Liberty Hallnowstands. Many years before the construction of the Pennsylvania Railroad or street railways sleighing and driving parties from Pittsburg always took dinner and danced at Beitler's COLLECTING BLTTHE'S "WOBKS. Mr. Scott's auctioneer also put up three paintings by Hetzel. Two were fruit pieces, and brought $45 and $50 each. Some persons expected to see a still more famous painting by Blythe auctioned off, they being under the impression that Mr. Scott was the owner of it. It is entitled, "An Evening at Homewood." It is a very large piece, worth probably $500. It repre sents Judge "Win. Wilkins, Mr. John Scott, Andrew Carnegie and some other well known citizens of Pittsburg during war times as members of a card party gathered around a table in the mansion of Judge "Wilkins at Homewood. Judge Wilkins is familiar in the country's history as Secre tary of "War and United States Minister to BuKsia, Congressman and jurist. His father, John "Wilkins, was burgess of Pitts burg just 100 years ago. Mr. Scott, however, did not own this painting. It is said that Andrew Carnegie bought it several years ago, and that it is sow in Mrs. Thomas Carnegie's home at Homewood. There is now in progress a collection of all Blythe's works, with a view to a grand exhibition some day. Bayers secured bargains in many other things that were sold at the Scott mansion. For instance, a new piano, worth $450, was knocked down at $175. A 15-IEAR-0LD TAG.

BR0ADAX, AJAX, LIGHTNIHG. Colored Anti-Prohibition Meeting AJax Ran It and a Minister Tnlka toll Broadnx and Brjce Break la. The colored people's anti-prohibition mass meeting was held last night in Lafayette Hall. The meeting was called to order by Ajax Jones. Thirty-one persons were pres ent, including about half a dozen Prohi bitionists. Fully one-third of the audience was white. The President introduced as the speaker "the Ciccra of the "West," the Kev. B. C. Christy, of Indiana. Mr. Christy said he did not believe in drunkenness. He favored temperance, and had never been drunk in his life. He did not believe, however, in prohibition, and upheld his position by reference to the Bible. He mentioned Christ nsing wine, and main tained that moral suasion was the method by which to make man good, and not force. During the progress of bis, speech he said that there is no authority in the Scriptures for prohibition. One ot tne prohibition hearers exclaimed that there was no alcohol mentioned in the Scriptures. Mr. Christy replied that strong drink was referred to. Broad-Ax Smith, who was present, shouted: "Give us a passage 1" The speaker quoted a passage in Deuter onomv, in which strong drink is mentioned, triumphantly adding: "There, nowl I guess you'll turn about four shades blacker than you are!" Broad Ax Who you call black? Tou'se black yourself! Mr. Christy I guess it's no disgrace to be black. Broad Ax Don't call a man black then. I ain't anv blacker than you are. My color jess as nice as your's is. You want to be white, and can t; that's what's the matter with you I Mr. Bryce, the Prohibitionist, arose and said that he was on the prohibition side and wanted to give a fair hearing to both sides, and would like the Chairman to keep order. Mr. Christy said that the Prohibitionists were the last people to give a fair hearing to any one. Ajax Jones stepped forward and re quested the Prohibitionists to wait until the speaker was through; then they could throw down the gauntlet and enter the arena. The speaker continued, stating that John "Wesley considered it no harm to go to a tavern and drink his mug of beer or mug of ale. Mr. Bryce exclaimed: "Give us the docu ments for that?" Mr. Christy retorted: "You wouldn't be lieve it if I did." Further, he asked, who are the leaders of the Prohibition party? He said thevwere rundown disgruntled, disappointed men of every political party, with the exception of a lew local men. In J the category be placed St. John, .Neil .Dow, Brooks and others. Toward the close Mr. Bryce told him to look out; that it was "lightning back there." He replied that, for the last few weeks, when the Prohibitionists were meeting, it was likely to burn them np with hot weather. On the first of the meetings of the other side God sent a cool rain, to show his -approbation. When Mr. Christy had finished Mr. Bryce called for Broad Ax Smith; but Ajax Jones ponnded the table with his fist, in lieu of a gavel, and exclaimed: "This meeting stands adjourned." A T0DNG SUICIDE. Jacob Brnbaeli, of Allecheny, Sends a Bul let Throneu His Heart Despondency Was the Canse. Jacob Brubach, aged 21 years, son of David Brubach, a blacksmith on North avenue, Allegheny, committed suicide about 6 o'clock last evening at his home, 72 Bast street, by sending a bullet through his heart. He and his brother had been working at their father's shop nil day, but young Brubach went home early. His 12-year-old sister was in the house when he arrived and says he went into the parlor to write a letter. A few minutes later she heard a pistol shot and ran into the room, where she saw her brother lying on the sofa with blood streaming from a wound in the left breast. The little girl ran to her father's shop and told of the shooting. They promptly sum moned Br. P. "W. Heron, but his services were not needed, as the bullet pierced the heart and death was instantaneous. Lying at the side of the young suicide was the revolver and tta unfinished letter. He had evidently began writing to explain the cause of his action, but fearing that he would be interrupted before he could carry out his intention left the note unfinished. The letter and the revolver were taken in charge by the doctor who, at the request of the family, refused to make known the con tents of the missive. The suicide was care fully planned, for the young man opened his shirt and placed the muzzle of the re volver, a 32-caliber, directly over his heart. The only cause assigned by the members of the family is despondency. He had been greatly attached to a young lady, Miss Annie Both, and secured a position forher at the home of his uncle, Judge Gripp. He visited her regularly, and it is said gave her his earnings to save for him. They had planned a trip to Cleveland to visit the girl's parents, when he received a letter stating that she had gone alone, and that their relations must cease. It was reported that they were engaged to be married, but a brother of the deceased denied that they contemplated marriage. The house where the suicide was com mitted is directly opposite the home of Mrs. Landenslager, who ended her existence the other day by jumping from a third-story window.

Hew 10-Pot Furnace in Wilmerding for Electric Supplies. : IT WILL EMPLOY 2,00 to 300 jfelf, Ti - Be Built at Once and Operated as Only the Second of Its Kind. " HOW 10,000 GLOBES A DAI ABB NOW DAD A glass manufacturing establishment, known as the East Pittsburg Glass Com pany, is a new acquisition to the number of Pittsburg industrial concerns. The glass' company concluded negotiations with the East Pittsburg Improveme'nt Company yes terday for the purchase of aboftt two acres of ground in "Wilmerding, and the building of the plant will be almost Immediately commenced. The glassware manufactured at the new establishment will be entirely confined to such articles as are used in the putting up of electric lights, incandescent lamps and arc light plants, electric light globes, shades and similar electrical appliances made of glass will be made there. ' There is at present only one glass factory manufacturing those articles in the country. That is tne Corning Glass Company, at Corning, N. Y. This branch of the latter concern was called into existence by the. Edison Electric Company, and until the Westinghouse Electric Company became THE EDISON'S COMPETITOE, the latter was the largest customer the Corning Glass Company had. The "Westing house people, however, do now a business which necessitates a supply of 10,000 glass globes for incandescent lights each day, which the company has to buy and pay a profit on. It is chiefly for the purpose of saving the expense of purchasing the lamps that the new glass company will be started up. The gentleman at the" head of the East Pittsburg Glass Company is Mr. A. L. Reineman, who was formerly Superintend ent of the lamp department in the "West inghouse Electric Company. It is, how ever, understood that Mr. WestinghouFe is interested in the new glass company and lends it his financial backing. A gentleman who is interested in the new concern stated as follows to a Dispatch reporter regarding the proposed manufac ture of glass globes, etc, yesterday: HOW THEY LOOK UPON IT. "The great reason why the manufacture of such articles should be carried on in "Wilmerding is principally on account of the advantages the East Pittsburg Improve ment Company ofier in the way of natural gas. The use of that fuel for making elec tric light globes is very important. It produces a better article, on account of the absence of sulphur in natural gat, and inas much as "Wilmerding is only about six miles from Murrysville, the gas can be easily had. "The Corning people have so far had a monopoly ot electric glassware manufactur ing in this country, but when the East Pittsburg Company gets in operation I think it will be a strong competitor on ac count of superior facilities." The company will soon commence to build a ten-pot furnace, and from 200 to 300 men will find employmont at the place. ' The erection of the plant will commence next week, and the operation of the furnaces will start next fall. BEGINNING EAELT. Old Sol Gets in His Work on Three People A Young Girl on the List.

UNION LEAGUE'S EXAMPLE ISOLATED Eating game during the hot season is practiced very extensively by epipures, no matter what the cost may be, or the liability the restaurateur takes in serving X In some portions of Pennsylvania the game laws are rigidly adhered to, and the recent action of the Union Leagne Club in resolv ing that no game shall be served on the table after the limit of thelaw has expired, is especially commended by local lovers of shooting. William Bown, the well-known sportsman and handler of sporting goods, said, when asked if the game laws were violated in this section of the State to any great extent: "In many cases they are, but tbe country and mountain people are not to blame; it is the city sports who are the violators. They go out camping, and carry with them a full supply of guns, ammunition and fishing tackle. If the fishing is not good, as a di vertissement shooting is indulged in, no matter whether the law is violated or npt. "I am glad that tbe Union League has taken such action, and I think if our asso-' ciation the Western Pennsylvania Sports man's Association should take hold of the matter, it could accomplish a manifold good. "Woodcock is the first game which can legally be shot, and its season begins July i. This is too earlv for any feathered game, as it is too hot for tbe birds to be in con dition as an edible." Dave lauber. caterer, said: "I am against all shooting of game fowls in tbe spring; especially the duck, which is much better eating in the fall. When a water fowl is killed in the spring there is a "fishy" taste to it which is very obnoxious and unpalatable. We do not nave a great demand (or game here, but should such a call be made tor a big dinner or a swell supper, our most practical plan and surest point of securing it is Chicago, where all manner of wild game is sold the year round. "The refrigerator men seem to 'stand in with the Illinois officials, as they are never molested by the minions of the law for openly violating the mandates. They re ceive in large quantities the game from the Northwest, where there are no restrictive measures relating to the shooting of game. "Brook trout is sold in and out of season, but not to a very great extent during the illegal period." , IN THE HOWLAND HOTEL. Mr. J. B. Schlosser Will Take Charge of a Long Branch House. Mr. John B.

It's a clear cose of jealousy. We've proved our genuine worth to one and all, and now that it's conceding the P. O. C. C. name "the lowest prices forfineclothin?," we mean to hold on tight and retain the grip we purchased only after using a liberal sup ply of pure American grit and down-right hard work. Come and see the four big bar gains we show to-day. No. 1 is men's suits, at ?10, sold elsewhere at 518; No. 2 is nobby' children's suits at $2 and $3; No. 3 is men's stylish pants at $2 SO, and No 4 is a big thing in derhys for men at $100 in five new shades.

Jjfflfa Oil laNHsHkoriu Towwalps TIM There Ara Berricks AH Aronarf Wells Tbat Don't Coast la tbe Markets. It would appear that the producers of pe troleum are getting' quite modest, and that, although field news is quite bearish of late, as reported, if by no means gives fall de tails oj what is going on, Por instance, what does the world know about the opera tions In Stowe and Babinson townships, within sight of this city? And yet derricks are getting thick, and can be seen from every eleTOtioa of consequence in that sec tion. Almost all the land In these town ships is leased at rentals ranging from $1 an acre up some a long way up And they are getting good wells there. The Aiken is said to be large, and the Oliver, on Moon run, is known to De good. Grease has been found in the well on tbe James Moore farm, a mile or so this side of Montour run. but the operators seem dis posed to keep the thing as quiet as possible. The Schmid well, nearer the run, bored some years ago, is known to contain oil, but the lessees seem to be in no hurry to realize. Since its boring much industry has been exhibited in securing leases. There is a new rig built on the Pine Hollow road back of McKee's Bocks, and the roads through all, that section are cut np badly by the heavy teams that transport pipe and other well supplies. The drillers on the well on the Arbuckles farm, between Cbartiers station, on tbe Pittsburjrand Lake Erie Hallway, and the Stcubenville pike, met wjth a mishap a day or two since, striking a fissure at the depth of 900 feet, which has made the hole crooked. They.have since been doing some heavy shooting, in hopes to find renewed solidity; but, so far, to no purpose. At first25 pounds of dynamite were used, and then shot after shot with pure glycerine was tried, until 125 quarts were used, and now it is thought the work must begin de novo in another place. The business promises to demoralize farm ing as badly as the laying ont of a new town does when it gives fanners the lot-selling fever. A good many farmers cannot wait slow growth of crops for revenue when they can make $5 a day hauling well supplies. Let Us Have our Attention.
