)for that we stand up to the bitter end. Tots
resolution implies that, during tbe four weeks
previous to June IS, public meetings shall be
called and acitation is to go forward on very
YiCrous methods.
'Sow, that is tho matter, as far as tbe
Turners are concerned as a. body. Apart from
them, there is an organization, which is com
posed of delegates from all German societies,
be they Turners, singers, workmen's lodges or
military organizations, which probably rep
resents 30,000 American citizens, has made it
an object to see that every legitimate voter go
to the polls on Jane IS, and place himself on
Record
AGAINST THE AMENDMENT.
"Committees will be appointed for every
polling station in the county. I think this a
good idea, because they can keep tbe ladies
of the W. C. T. TT. from getting Ionesone."
Mr. .Gottfried Ihsen,of the Allegheny Turn
verein, and Chairman of the Committee on
Personal liberty of the Western Pennsylvania
district of the Turners, said, that owing tt tbe
fact that they were building a new ball in Alle
gheny, they bad been greatly handicapped in
calling any mass meetings as yet. "But," be
continued, "we will have another meeting on
Sunday, and definite arrangements for public
agitation will be made then. We are going to
do tbe same thing tbe German societies on the
Sonthslde are doing, and tbey, 1 understand,
have also the Knights of St. George and other
Catholic organizations among their ranks of
prohibition neuters."
lur. Carl Heck. Captain of the German Mili
tary Organization of Pittsburg, is making great
preparations for a large meetmgat St. George's
Sail on Fenn avenue for next Sunday. Ho
said Yesterday:
"We have passed several resolutions in our
organization against the prohibition amend
ment, and every man has pledged himself indi
vidually to down the measure at tbe ballot box
on June IS, if possible."
A GOOD DAI'S WORK.
The Pattern Makers Favor tbe Eicfat
Tf oar System Piece Work Abolished A
Fine Banquet nt tbe Seventh Avenue.
The Pittsburg Association of Pattern
Makers gave the visiting delegates a pleas
ant banquet at the Seventh Avenue Hotel
last night. After the menu had been dis
pensed with the intellectual part ot the feast
was Served.
President McGonnell acted as toast master,
and Clarence Burleigh, Esq.,was the first speaker
introduced. His subject was "Our Country,
and tbe Duties We Owe to It as Citizens.'
Prof. Brashear was to have addressed the pat
tern makers on "Our Relation to tbe Stars,"
but at the last moment sent bis regrets. Dr. D.
B. Sturgeon took his place. "Our National
Organization and Its Future." was tbe subject
of II. H- Bengongh. John 31. Kelly discussed
the problem of "The Press in Its Relation to
the labor Problem."
Tbe banquet was a very enjoyable affair and
the feature of the convention. 7be delegates
found it much easier to be the willing disciples
of Epicurus than to work in committee with
their hard-working General Secretary urging
them on.
At the meeting during the day they agreed to
abolish piece work, and tbe aecision will be
embodied in tbe constitution as soon as the
local associations approve of it A strong reso
lution was passed bearing on the 8-hour system.
The resolution declared that every organiza
tion should strive for shorter hours of work.
Tbe convention will close to-day.

So Bay a Coroner's Jury Regarding; That
Fatal Mine Explosion.
Yesterday Coroner McDowell finished the
inquest on the bodies of the miners killed
by the gas explosion at the Federal mines,
last Friday. Mine Inspector Blick testified
to the condition of the mine. He said the
gas generated rapidly there, and the mine was
noted for this. There was no danger sign ex
cept at No. C entry, and this was beyond where
the men met their death.
Hugh McGnire, of Bridgeville. thought one
of the men could have been saved. He was
lying on bis face, and was not badly wounded,
and, in witness' opinion, if the fan had been
started as soon as the accident occurred, be
could have been rescued.
Other witnesses were examined, and the jury
brought in a verdict of death from an ex
plosion, and gave the following reasons for the
accident:
r First. That deceased went into said mines in
direct violation or the law; second, that E. W.
liters, Superintendent of said mines, -nasnecll-irent
In directing shutting oil the ventilation
from eaid mines and allowinjr pas to accumulate,
Xnowlnp said mine to be freneratlnggas; third,
that James llallowar, mining boss, was negligent
in not closing up raouthof said mine when it was
shut down, or displaying danger signals at the
proper places, and that Thomas Evans was negli
gent In taling upon himself tbe responslbllitv
nnd duties of mining boss and not making the
proper examination or said mine every day
until the return of said James Haiioway, mining
boss.

Major Samuel Harper, tbo "Widely
Known Veteran Soldier,
EELEASED FB0M EARTH'S EOSTEE.
The Ex-Department Commander Dies After
a Trying Illness.
ACTION OF SOME OE HIS COMRADES
A life of intense mental activity and
arduous labor came to a close yesterday
afternoon. Major Samuel Harper died at
bis residence on Mt. "Washington.
Major Harper was born in this city
August 8,1837. He received a common
school education and went to Iowa when 17
years olA Here he read law and subsequently
came back to Pittsburg and for a time was
writer on a paper. In 1860 he married Miss
Helen A. "Whittier.
Early in life Major Harper developed a
liking for military life and and at the age of
17 became a member of the "Washington In
fantry, and in Iowa was First Lieutenant in
a military company. At the breaking out
of the Civil War in 1861 he was an
officer in one the home-guard
organizations, and in 1862, joined
Colonel (now Judge) Collier's regiment, the
One Hundred and Thirty-ninth Pennsylvania
Volunteers. He was Lieutenant and served as
Quartermaster, and at the close of the war in
1865, mustered the regiment out of service. His
son states that the Major kept the books of
the regiment in such shape that no trouble has
ever Deen experienced by any of its members
who wanted a pension, in showing his status as
a soldier.
PBOMINENT IN THE O. A, B.
Since the organization of the Grand Army of
the Republic Major Harper has taken an ac
tive part in its affairs. He was Past Com
mander of Colonel Moody Post No, 155, and
Past Department Commander of the State or
ganization.
In 1S67 Major Harper was appointed Register
of Bankruptcy for the Twenty-second district
and held the position at tbe time of his death.
Frank Smith, Esq., says be knows ot his own
knowledge that the affairs of that office were
administered ably and left in such shape that
the successor will find all plain sailing. It is
supposed the office will be merged into that of
some other Register. At tbe time of his death
he was Secretary of the.State Monument Asso
ciation, which has charge of the building of
the monument at Gettyburg.
The deceased always manifested a lively In
terest in tbe public reboots, and was a director
for many years of the Mt Washington school
and a member of the Central Board of Educa
tion from that district. He was an able
lecturer on school topics and management, and
was frequently called on to exercise bis gift in
that direction.
Major Harper was more widclv known, how
ever, as a prominent member of the Masonic
order than in any other public capacity and is
said to have been one of tbe brightest men in
the order. He was made a Mason February 27,
ifcra. in tit. John's Lodge, 219. He became a
member of tbe Grand Lodge in 1870 and Wor
shipful Master and was one ot tho committee
that revised its constitution.
HOLDING HIGH POSITIONS.
At his death be was Chairman of the Com
mittee on Appeals; he was Chairman of tbe
Committee of Correspondence of the Grand
Chapter; first High Priest of Shiloh Chapter
No. 257; a charter member of Tancred Com
mandery No. 48, K. T., and became Eminent
Commander ot it in 1875. He was an active
member of tbe Snpreme Council, Thirty-third
degree, N. M. S. J. of America, of tbe Ancient
Accepted Scottish Rite, and Commander; in
Chief of tbe Sovereign Grand Consistory of
tbe Valley of Pittsburg, for 16 years.
Notwithstanding the complexity of his mili
tary, legal, society and civil relations. Major
Harper found time to devote part ot his atten
tion to religions affairs, and was a member and
vestryman at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church,
at which church funeral services will be held
to-morrow, after which there will be services
under the direction of St. John's Masonic
Lodge. 219.
Deceased has been a stockholder in and
President of tbe Monongahela Inclined Plane
Company since its organization, about 1870.
He was nuite abrunt in his manner with
strangers and frequently created ill-feeling on
first acquaintance, but when better known was
found to be unusually genialand kind hearted,
and it is said wonld go a thousand miles to do a
friend a favorandresentall acknowledgements.
His intimate friends are all of the stick-to-the-death
kind, though but few of them got ac
quainted with him in a day.
A brother of Major Harper, John Harper,
was formerly a well-known writer for the dairy
pre s of this city, and served as managing and
writing editor on several papers. He has re
sided in Philadelphia for some years.
Major Harper's disease, a sort of malarial
fever, was complicated by eczema, from which
he had suffered for many years, and which bad
been dragging him down for a long time.

A BIO VSTE1KE.
Over 1,300 Tube Workers at tbe National
Rollins; Mill Quit Work Demands for
Advanced Wages. s
About 1,600 of the 5,000 employes of the
National Tube Works Company at McKees
port are idle and the outlook is good for the
number to be 400 larger it the butt weld
mill employes do not go to work this morning.
The men came out yesterday morning on a
strike for an advance of from 5 to 10 per cent,
and claim they will not go back nnless they get
it and as a result the threading floor mill and
the lap weld mill is Idle. These places com
prise a number of departments. Tbe men ask
'for this advance and claim that when a reduc
tion of from 5 to IS per cent was made a year
ago the company promised to give it back
to them when trade improved, and they believe
that the day is at hand. The strike was sudden
and created astonishment, as it was unexpected
by tbe community.
Before the strike was precipitated the men
made efforts through a committee to have the
reduction restored and failed, and tbo com
pany remarked that the men failed to give
notice that tbey would strike. They say the
demand of the committee was in Itself a notice
that tbey would come out if it was not com
plied with. The company has not taken action
as it does not kwow as yet what tbe demand of
tbe men as a general thine is, but will know
when the committee calls on them to-day to
make the demand which was decided on at a
meeting held in Palace Rink yesterday after
noon. The meeting was largely attended, and the
building was so crowded that a portion
of the floor gave in. It was decided that the
men will ask the company to give tbem an ad
vance ot 10 per cent in tbe threading floor and
15 per cent in the lap weld departments, with
tbo restoration of the 6 per centtaken off of the
men who make less than 1 50 per day. A com
mittee of three was appointed to call on Gen
eral Manager John H. Flagler at 9 o'clock this
morning and make the demand. Tbe commit
tee will then report bis answer to tbe men at a
meeting to be beld in tbe rink at 1 r. jr. The
men are not organized, but will stick together.
The company says, "trade is dull ana prices
are at the lowest notch, while profits are very
small. The mills are full of work, but it is no
indication of a flourishing trade. A large con
cern of this kind must run full or not at all,
and is of ten kept in full when all tbe product
is In the warehouses, and tbe size of tbe plant
in connection with the full operation, often
enables the company to make jblpe and sell it
when other concerns cannot Were it not for
tbe advantace in this respect and the desire of
the company to keep the plant running and the
crews together, the mills would be run in good
times and would be closed down in dull times,
as other pipe mills are operated."
The company also states that it has 51.000,000
worth of pipe in stock, which was made in the
winter, and for which there is no demand to
day. ANOTHEB STRIKE ON.
Tho
Clark Bros. Failed to Keep Their
Promises With the Men.
The strike of the men at the Solar Iron
Works was no surprise. It has been ex
pected for sometime, and the-position of the
firm is said not to be enviable. The strikers
intend to join the Amalgamated Association
again.
. One of the men sized up the situation as fol
lows yesterday: "There has been considerable
dissatisfaction among tbe workmen since the
last strike. Mr. Clark, to induce men to go to
work, made them many promises, which he has'
not kept
"Some of these promises pertain to positions,
but tbe main difficulty is a question of wages.
This is the essence of tbe trouble, and the
strike will leave the firm in bad shape."
The condition of affairs in tbe strike has not
changed since yesterday morning. The only
Sart of the mill in operation is the puddling
epartment where about 85 colored men are
employed. The strikers said last night that the
pnddlers would join tbe strike and tbe Amal
gamated Association to-day. This will throw
the whole mill idle.
A large meeting was held last night in Freck
er's Hall, corner Butler and Thirty-eight
streets, by the strikers. President Weihe was
present Fifty-five members were reinstated
in Victoria Lodge No. 35, Amalgamated Asso
ciation. Thev were in nart men who broke the
last strike at these mills.
SOME CANDIDATES NAMED

ciation are beginning to look, around for

ALL QUIET AT DUQUESNE.,
Tbe Mill Sons and the Strike Will Probably

There were no new developments in the

Stocks Are Not Accumulating; and Wages
Will Not Likely be Reduced.
The window glass manufacturers of the
West will hold a convention here on the
23d inst. to discuss the condition of the
trade. There ha3 been some talk of closing tbe
factories earlier than usual on account of an
overproduction. Tbe workers say there is less
stock on band than there has been for three
years past or will be at tbe end of the fire.
President Bodlne's report shows that on April
30 there were 811.050 boxes of glass in stock,
which is 131,000 boxes more than July 1, 1&38.
Reports from different factories all over the
country show very little accumulation of
stocks. The workers do not anticipate an offer
of a reduction in wages.

COVENANTEES WANT TO MAKE DP.
Tie Amendment, Say be the Means of
Amalgamating Both Churches.
THE DOIflGS OF THE GU5EBAL BIH0D.
There is a strong probability that the two
factions of tEe Reformed Presbyterian
Church, known as the "Synod" and the
"General Synod" will be reunited, after
a separation of 66 years. A committee of
three members of each Synod, has had
several conferences. A number of schemes
have been suggested to bury the hatchet
and restore peace and harmony within the
fold.
There is a strong undercurrent of senti
ment developing among the younger mem
bers of the General Synod, or "the old
Covenanters," as they are called in the
East. One of the latter, Eev. John Gra
ham, who is now in attendance at the Gen
eral Synod at Tarentnm, was formerly a
member of the seceders. Ho came from
Rochester, N. Y., and,
UPON- SWINGING OVKB
to the "Generals," ho became pastor of the
First Church In Philadelphia. A nnmberof
his former brethren want to follow his ex
ample and amalgamate with the other faction.
In 1833 the Reformed Presbyterian Church
split, at a meeting held in the old Eleventh
Street Church, upon the site of which now
stands a minstrel theater. The seceders, or
Covenanters, would not allow their men to
vote upon any questions relating to the State
or National Government The General Synod
took the opposite view, and said it was a duty
they owed to their State and Church to take
part in all elections. Some of tbe Covenanters
now want to vote upon the prohibitory amend
ment. Claiming that it Is a rie-htenns ransfl.
For this reason Some of them would like to
come back to the fold again. Their reason
for not voting is that God is not in the Consti
tution of the United States.
At the meeting in Tarentnm the committee
on reuniting the other branch reported prog

Rev. H. H. Brownell, of Vinton, Iowa, was
unanimously elected Moderator. Rev. J. Y.
Boice, of Philadelphia, was re-elected Stated
Clerk, and J. H. Kendall, pastor of the Taren
tnm church, assistant Rev. Dr. Miller, of
Saltsburg, and Rev. a-R. Kerr, of Pittsburg,
pastors of evangelical churches at Tarentnm,
were invited to seats as consultation members.
Owing to financial difficulties tbe trustees were
unable to settle in regard to the legacy left the
church by Mrs. Elizabeth Wylie.
In the afternoon Rev. David Steel, D. D.,
conducted the devotional exercises. Tho
standing committees were then announced.
The matter of title to church property in
Xenla, O., was referred to the Board of Church
extension, with power to prosecute the claim
of the church to the property.
Monday evening was fixed as the date to dis
cuss the prohibitory amendment. The people

BISHOP TUIGG DYING.
Ho Will Likely b Succeoded by Father
Wall, of This City Bishop Phelnn and
Two Dioceses, One In Alio.
Bishop Tuigg, of this diocese, is dying at
his home in Altoona. The Bishop has been
ill for many years; but his sickness is so
serious at present that it was decided to
summon Bishop Phelan, coadjutor, to his
bedside. Tbe last rites of the church were given
to tbe dying bishop yesterday, as his chance for
recovery seems less hopeful than at any time
during his long illness.
It was reported vesterdav that in the e.vent
of Bishop Tuigg's death, tbe Pittsburg and
Allegheny dioceses would be reunited, and
tbat Bishop Pbelan would be placed in charge.
Several of the leading members of the Ro
man Catholic Church in this section were seen
yesterday and said: "The dioceses will not be
reunited. What Rome has done Rome cannot
undo, the Holy Father being infallible. This
diocese was divided, and will remain divided.
Bishop Phelan is Bishop of a diocese in Asia
Minor and is Bibop Coadjntor here. If Bishop
Tuigg dies, we believe tbat Father Wall will Do
made BishOD of the Plttsbnrir diocese, and
Bishop Phelan of the Allegheny diocese."
The latent reports received of tho condition
of Bishop Tnlgg were tbat he is in an uncon
scious condition, and cannot live more than a
day or two.

The case of R. M. Gulick, charged with

was heard before Alderman McKenna yester
day. Mr. Gulick's defense was that he had donated
tbe use of the bouse for tbe concert for tbe
benefit of the Anti-Cruelty Society. He neither
received any of the proceeds nor allowed any
of the attaches to aia in giving the concert
Tbe alderman reserved bis decision until to

One Reason Why tbe Nevr Allegheny Bridge
Is Being Erected.
The directors of the Union Line Street
Bailway Company are anxiously awaiting
their charter for the bridge they intend to
briild over tbe Allegheny river.
It has been almost definitely decided to have
a cable operate tbe line and, as the Suspension
Bridge Company refuses to have a cable laid
over their structure, the new bridee will be a.
necessity. Work will be commenced as soon as
the charter arrives.

Ticket Sellers Versus Piano Sellers.
It will be noticed that while some mnsio
firms are picked upon to do the ticket sell
ing for concerts, others are chosen to furnish
the artistic, the musical material for the
same, viz.: tbe pianos. No matter who sells
tickets, lor when it comes to tbe musical
part they all must apply at Kleber & Bro.'s
to get a suitable and satisfactory piano for
the occasion. Look at our own Mav Festi
val, Gilmore's concerts, Rosenthal's con
certs and all others of any importance; it is
Steinway and nothing but Steinway. All
the best pianos are concentrated in the
hands of Kleber & Bro., it appears.
Here we find the great Steinway, the won
derful Conover, the charming Opera and
Emerson makes. Also the lovely Burdett
organs and tbe phenomenal Vocal ion church
organs tho grandest church instrument
evrf invented. The Kleber Bros, are the

JOHN JABRETT'S'JOT.
He Says He Will Leave for Iho English
Consulate In a Month His Prediction
Tariff Htndles.
Almost immediately after the announce
ment of John Jarrett's appointment as
United States Consul to Birmingham, En
gland, yesterday afternoon, a Dispatch
representative met that gentleman on Fifth
avenue.
"la yonr appointment news to yon, Mr.
' Jarrett, or have yon already received yonr
official notification?"
"No, I have not received my official noti
fication," replied Mr. Jarrett, "but I knew four
weeks ago that I would biappolnted."
"Well, do you know anything about any
other Pittsburger?"
"I know that Mr. MoKean will get into the
postofflce. Our boys will get there, and they
would have been so placed long ago had it not
been for this tiresome disagreement among the
leaders in our party. I am a Republican, and.
while I do not absolutely believe in the adage
that to the victors belong the spoils, still I
think where a Republican can be made to suc
ceed a Democrat without any great complica
tions it should be done."
"When will yon depart for Birmingham T"
"I think I shall be ready in about a month.
and while I am out there I will make it my
especial business to study the question of tariff
more than ever I did, for Birmingham gives me
great opportunities in that respect I am
sorry to leave Pittsburg though."
No Annexation Desired.
An effort is being made to annex Bellevue
borough to Allegheny. The matter was brought
up in tbe Borough Council at a recent meeting,
and was voted down by 4 to 2.
The May Olasic Festival. '
It is a significant fact that at the ap
proaching great May Festival they nse only
the famous Steinway pianos. All the othe'r
piano makers were crazy to get their make'
of instrument into the Music Festival, bat
the high artistic character of the performers
and the elevated style of their music Con
vinced the managers that none bnt the Stein
way Grand could possibly fill the bill. At
the late Gilmore concert the Steinway
Grand, also, was the only instrument which
Mr. Gilmore thought fit to be nsed in grand
concerts. This fact must be highly gratify
ing to the thousands of possessors ot the
Steinway and also to the Messrs. H. Kleber
& Bro., who have the honor to represent
tbem in onr section of country.

MORE PROSPISTITFOR WILMERDING.
IT CAPTURES ANOTHER INDUSTRY.
A Large Glass Factory Follow the Great
Airbrake Works.
The rumor that a large glass concern had
decided to locate on the property of the
East Pittsburg Improvement Company at
Wilmerding has been confirmed, and it is
now definitelysettled that this town, already
so highly favored, is to have an additional
element of prosperity.
One wonld imacrina that the immense
plant of the Westinghonse Airbrake Com
pany, with its army ot skilled mechanics,
the busiest and best paid employes in tbe
country, wonld be sufficient to satisfy the
founders of Wilmerding, at least lor the
present, but the old adage, "Nothing suc
ceeds like success" is again illustrated, and
Wilmerding comes to the front for renewed
congratulations.
Like the Airbrake Works, the East Pitts
burg Glass Company will have the advant
age belonging only to manufacturers of
specialties, and which insures better wages
and steadier work than could be otherwise
enjoyed. The glassware manufactured by
this company will be such as is nsed in the
construction of electrical appliances and
fixtures of various kinds, and the probable
extent of its business may pe inferred from
the fact that there is but one other glass
works of the .kind in the country, and the
Westinehouse Electric Company, which
alone uses over 10,000 glass globes for incan
descent lights each day, will undoubtedly
give the new concern the benefit of its entire
patronage.
Very naturally the promoters of the East
Pittsburcr Improvement Company are
pleased by this prompt appreciation of the
advantages they oner to manufactories lo
cating on their property, and urge an ex
amination of the many unrivaled sites they
have for sale.
The property in question consists of sev
eral hundred acres situated in the Turtle
Creek Valley, between Brinton and Wil
merding stations, on the P. R. R-
It is only 12 miles from Pittsburg.
Topographically considered, it is admir
ably adapted Sot 'manufacturing establish
ments of various kinds.
The natural gas supply is abundant and
cheap, the Murrysrille field being but seven
miles distant, and the cost of transportation
consequently considerably less thantoPitts
burg and Allegheny.
The best Pittsburg coal and Connellsville
coke are within easy reach.
Being beyond the city limits, taxes are
very low.
Water drawn from above dam No. 2 on
the Monongahela river will be snpplied at
reasonable rates by the company's own
plant. By means of the Turtle Creek Val
ley Railroad, running through the entire
property, connections can be conveniently
made wltn the Pennsylvania itaiiroad, the
Baltimore and Ohio Kailroad and the Pitts
burg and Lake Erie Railroad, and ship
ments forwarded to all points at rates not
c&ueeuiug luuse iruui j: utsuurg.
All the advantages enumerated apply
with especial force to the town of Wil
merding, to which must be added those of
.graded streets, sewers and plank sidewalks.
The matter of adequate fire prqtection as
afforded by the company's system of mains
and fireplugs should not be overlooked.
The opportunity offered for the establish
ment of a prosperous business in a few
months by locating at Wilmerding is seldom
equaled.
Representatives of the East Pittsburg
Improvement Company will be stationed at
the Westinghonse building, corner Ninth
and Penn avenue, city, also at Wilmerding,
from whom maps, plans and other inform-'
ation can be obtained.
