He, of course, is for Quay. Isaac Bnnton, of the firm of Joseph Walton & Co., was singled out as one of the recipients of an appropriation for the loss of a boat at the Davis Island dam, and lost the fourth precinct of the Fourteenth warn by a vote of 139 to 37. At 11 P. M. the Sixth Legislative dis trict, with 74 precincts, was reported to chow within 411 votes of a majority for Magee, and 41 precincts remaining to be heard from.

The Second and Seventh districts were conceded to the Quay people. This would give them but 20 committeemen.

The Mngce Slate Gocn Thronah In One Dis trict The Qnny Slate Runs Without Op position In the Second. The primaries in the first Legislative dis trict for county committee were the liveliest ever held and the so-called anti-Quay-Bayne-Eules people won. The returns were very much, mixed, that is some dele gates who were elected said they wonld vote for the Quay slate and while talking to the other side pledged themselves to support their candidates. John N. 2eet led the side that it is claimed is opposing Quay and others, and although there "was a hitter fight against him he landed a winner with over 500 votes to spare, and may have as many mere when the votes are counted in the convention on Tuesday. A Dispatch reporter had a talk with a number of delegates who hold enough votes to elect what was termed in this paper yes terday as the Magee slate. The other side, however, claim a victory, but they were not too confident It was stated early in the day that if John Neeb was elected he would be made chairman of the committee and that he would favor the objectionable rules. Although this was not correct Mr. Neeb did not contradict the statement until after he was fully assured of his election, when he told a representative of this paper that he was not a candidate for the chair manship, would not be a candidate, and wonld not accept the position if elected. BOTH SIDES CLAIM IT. As above stated, both sides claim a vic tory. Beturns were received at the Health Office by the Quay "faction, and at the Alle gheny Central Club rooms by the members of that organization, all of whom favor the election of what is called the Magee slate. Health Officer Bradley at 10 o'clock last night, said: ""We have won, and the candi dates who favor the present objectionable rales are all knocked out." He gave the following list of winning delegates: First ward, Magee 2, Quay 4; Third, Magee S, Quay 8; Fourth, Maeee 5, Quay S; Seventh, Majjce none, Qnay 3; Eighth, Magee none. Quay 2; Twelfth, Magee 1. Quayl; Thirteenth, Mapee none. Quay 2. Total: Magee, 11: Qnay, 23. These delegates have 4,131 votes and 2,056 is necessary to a choice. The "Anti-Bule men," as thev prefer to be called, instead of "Quay men," therefore claim a big majority for their candidates. At the headquarters of the other side there was an exceedingly jubilant assem blage of men, whose claims were entirely different from those given above, and are as follows: MR. XEEB'8 CLAIMS. First ward, Magee 3, Quay 3; Third, Magee 9, Quay 2; Fourth, Magee S, Quay S; Seventh, Magee 3: EicUth, Magee 2; Twelfth, Magee 1, Quay 1; Thirteenth, Mageo 1 and Quay 1, bnt both votes are forNeeb. There are several districts that are not claimed by the Magee faction; but they ex pect to get others in the convention. 'The total vote for the Magee slate, which is ap pended, is z,ooy to 1,002: First ward. John N. Neeb and D. T. Mulvey; Third, District Attorney Porter and Henry Datt: Fourth. Hugh Kennedy and Street Com missioner William F. Meese; Seventh. Coun cilman Charles W. Muchlbronner; Eighth, Councilman George Scbad; Twelfth, County Detective William C. Langhorst; Thirteenth, Roundsman T. C. Johnston. As already -mentioned, five of these names also appear on both slates, as follows: Messrs.' Mulvey, Porter, Muehlbronner, Schad and Johnston. In the Second district of the fourth ward Louis Hirst was elected as a Quay delegate, but will turn his credentials over to Hon. Chas. "W. Bohison, who is slated for the chairmanship of the convention by the Quay faction. In some of the districts a large vote was polled, and in almost every case the majority of the winner did not ex ceed six or seven votes. There were SOME BIG SURPRISES in several of the precincts several candi dates who were never defeated before for delegates being knocked out Candidates and their friends were busy all day bring ing out votes. Many of the persons who were entitled to a vote did not know an election was being held until informed by one of the workers. The primary in the Second Legislative district was exceedingly quiet, in fact it was so quiet that the majority of the people in it did not know that anything was going on, and in many of the districts the polls were not opened at all. In some cases the delegates had great difficulty in finding the members of the board to get their creden tials signed. A "number of the candidates had their credentials signed within a half an hour after the polls were supposed to be open, and after 5 o'clock a voter who wanted to cast his ballot for some one was unable to do so. ONE FIXED SLATE. In this district the slate is fixed, and it is an out-and-out Quay one. The delegates, however, are not all pledged to support the slate, and it. may be broken before the con vention is held on Tuesday. The slate is as follows: Second ward, James F. Stewart Assistant Assessor: James Bradley, Health Officer; Coun cilman. William McDonald, a clerk in the Fro tbonotarr's office. Fifth ward. Councilman. Charles W, Dahlmger, and Deputy Sheriff and Councilman, George Rbudolph. Sixth ward, "William F.Trimble. a contractor and Presi dent of the Allegheny Poor Board, and Coun cilman Chris Steffen, Jr. Ninth ward. T. R. Morris, the druggist who will receive the ap pointment of Consul to Cardiff, Wales. Tenth ward, John E. Watson. Eleventh ward, Select Councilman John R. Henricks. TEEI HOT IN M'XEESPOET. How the Lively Battle Was Won Against Formidable Odds. The election in McKeesport, from 4 to 7 o'clock last evening resulted in the defeat of Sales and Jones, candidates for dele gates to the County Convention, by Deputy Sheriff "William German and Captain John'F. Davitt, whose majori ty in the borough over their opponents was 250. A big fight was made against German and Davitt, but German, who is known as a political hustler, although opposed by "W. C. Sales, one of the shrewdest politicians of tne place, was too much for them. YanKirk Scott, candidate for delegate to the State Convention, carried the borough, and Bowand had no opposition.

No sooner have the local Bepublicans settled upon their candidate for District At torneyArch Eoward, Esq. though, of course, the formality of nomination is yet to come, than his Democratic opponent is practically settled upon. That opponent, it appears, will be B. H. Johnston, Esq. His Bepnblican friend, C. C. Dickey, Esq., gives the announcement as follows, in an interview, together with his reasons for supporting Mr. Johnston and expecting him to run well: Mr. R. H. Johnston will he a candidate for the Democratic nomination. I havo the best of authority for it I can, say he is a man de sired by, and will have the practical support of the bar for tbe position: For the last eight years we have had a most competent man for District Attorney W. D. Porter, Esq. The bar desires to have a worthy successor to Mr. Porter. During Mr. Porter's last two years his health has been very feeble, and be has had to be away from home a great ileal, especially in the winter, having to seek a Southern climate. Dnring all that time, and in fact while here, he has called noon Mr. Johnston for assistance. During Mr. Porter's absence Mr. Johnston has conducted tbe entire easiness of the Criminal Court For a portion of the time while Mr. Porter was at home, there have been two Judges sitting in tho court, and Mr. Johnston has taken charge of the business before one of the Judges, thusrelievingMr. Porter of much of the heavy work of the office. Mr. Johnston has been so employed with tbe appro bation of the six Judges of the Court, and be is invariably called in by them when additional help is needed to complete the business of the court. Mr. Johnston's qualifications for the office are shown by the fact that as good a lawyer as Mr. Porter, and our Jndges havo selected him out of 400 lawyers (although a Democrat), to act during Mr. Porter's absence. In performing thev duties of his office he has tried some of the heaviest cases in tbe county, and been almost universally successful. He has given satisfac tion to the Judges, to the Bar, and to the pub lic having business in tbe courts. The Bar has yet to hear the first complaint against his integrity and fairness. Thn office of District Attorney is regarded fn the profession as a quasi judicial office, and next in importance, of all the county offices, to that of Judge. To administer it properly re quires as high talent as any employed in the civil conrts. and the Incumbent should be a lawyer of experience, good judgment ana equal disposition; thorough bearing and integrity. All these qualities Mr. Johnston admittedly possesses. His legal learning extends to the civil side of the law as well. He was tbe master in the Hite Natural Gas Company's appeal, a leading case in limited partnership, where the Conrt of Common Fleas reversed bim, but the Supreme Court, reversing tbe court below, reinstated his report and accepted his view of the law. 'Ho has however, made a special tudy of criminal law and practice, and probably has tbe largest practice in tbe Court of Quarter Sessions except possibly, the Dean of the Bar, Thomas M. Marshall, Esq. He is the son of William F. Johnston, for merly Whig Governor of the State, and, al thougha Democrat in politics, has been most thoroughly fair and non-partisan in his conduct of the office as Mr. Porter's assistant SOME SAMPLE STBAWS, ShovrlcB Where the Slsmlflcant Victories Were Scored. The Fourth precinct of the Seventh ward, Mayor McCallin's district, was closely con tested by both factions. Hugh Elinn, a relative of "William Elinn, was opposed Dy James Glenn, an ex-policeman under Mc Callin. Eliuu received 60 votes, Glenn 26. Excitement ran high until the polls closed. The other precincts in the same ward were solid lor Flinn. Others were as follows: In the Fourth precinct of tbe FJghth ward Thomas W. Baker, a Flmn delegate, won by one vote over John C. Connors, a Quay dele gate, who has been canvassing quietly for a longtime. Tbe other delegates of Flinn won easily. In tho Third precinct of the Thirteenth ward there was a three-cornered fight between John Thompson, a Flinn delegate; James Kerr, i Qnay delegate, and Robert Chandler, an inde pendent delegate. Kerr won by one vote, de feating Thompson by one vote-and Chandler by two votes. Tbe other Flinn delegate pulled through. , In the First precinct of the Fourteenth ward James McMasters, a Flinn delegate, defeated Captain Lewis T. Brown, a Quay delegate, by 87 to 30 votes. In the Third precinct of the same ward John Steel, cashier of the Freehold Bank, and a. Flinn delegate? defeated J. P. Lippincott by a vote of 66 to 25. In the Twenty-third ward Dr. C. Evans, a Qnay man, was elected by a majority of II after one of the hottest fights he bus ever bad in the ward. In the First precinct of the Twenty-sixth waid William Bradley, a brother ot the pro thonotary, defeated Dr. Barchfield, who was one of the original Quay men, by one vote. It was a bard-fought battle, and no stone was left unturned. Ex-Police Inspector George Stevens was de feated in the First precinct of the Twenty-fifth ward by C. H. Stolzenbacb, who had quite a large majority. In the Nineteenth ward, after the result was known, a crowd marched through the streets bearing a banner which read: VWhere 18 WarmcastleT AVhere is Quayf Where is the administration? They are in the soup!" C. L. Magee, Esq., said late last night that he" is now a full-fledged Home Ruler. THREE DISTRICTS IN DETAIL. More About tbe Sixth, Seventh and Eighth and How They Went. The returns from the Sixth Assembly dis trict were incomplete, and it was impossible to get the names of many of the delegates. However, 27 of the 70 precincts in the district were reported, as follows: Beltzhoover, Chartiers, Elizabeth, Green tree, Knoxville, Mansfield, "West Liberty, West Elizabeth and the Third ward of Homestead boroughs and Baldwin township (Third precinct), Chartiers town ship (First, Second, Third and Fourth pre cincts), Collier township (First and Third precincts, Mifflin township (Seventh precinct), North Fayette township (First precinct). South Fayette town ship (Second precinct), Scott township (First precinct) and Crescent, Moon, Stowe and "Union townships. These districts represent a total of 3,403 votes; necessary to. a choice, 3,689, and 43 pre cincts to hear from.' The returns from the Seventh and "Eighth Assembly districts were very meager, but both are claimed by the Magee-Flinn faction, the Eighth district being claimed by at I east 1,000 majority. From tbe Seventh district, Spring Garden borough, Gleufield borough and Bellevue boroughs came out lor the "Home rulers," while West Bellevue responded for the Qday faction. Beserve ana Killbuck town ships also reported Flinn delegates elected. In the Eighth district, McKeesport's three wards, "Wilkinsburg and xne ward of Verona, together with the First, Second and Third precincts of Sterrett and the Second of "Wiikins township, elected Flinn dele gates. Two wards of Braddock reported Quay men elected. GLAD HE IS ALITE. What IiOvr Brown Hai to Say of tho Qnay Prohibitory Stigma. Lew Brown, who was a lay delegate in the Fourteenth ward, but who only received a small minority of votes, said: "I am glad that I am alive. There were a number of things against me which laid me out fiat The anti-prohibition element went dead against me. "A number of my best supporters thought I was a Prohibitionist on account of being a Quay delegate. One man, upon being asked for whom he was going to vote, said: 'Ob, 1 always vote for Mr. Brown; he's a Magee man.' "Upon being told that I was for Quay, and the latter was a Prohibitionist, he went against me, and his example was followed by many others. All the people from City JSall were out working against me." DB.B-.M.HAinrA. Eye, ear, nose and throat diseases exclusively.

The Venerable Original Virginia Ab olitionist, George Eye, TELLS ABOUT TflElLLING TIMES In the Old Dominion State, Where Fought Like Wendell Phillips. He PISTOLS ENOUGH FOR SLAVE DE1YEES There is at present on a visit to Mr. J. F. Diffenbacher, the man who gets up the Pittsburg and Allegheny Directory, a man 80 years of age, who has been personally connected with a vast amount of the stirring history of the past 0 years. His name is George Bye, and his home Shenandoah county, Virginia. Mr. Bye was married by Mr. Diffenbacher's father, Eev. J. F. Dif fenbacher, in Woodstock, Va., S6 years ago, and might yet, if he didn't give"it away himself, pass for a hale man of 60, or even less. The tumult in his life has evidently had little effect on-his nervous system. A visit was paid to Mr. Bye at Mr. Dif- ienbacher's residence at Emsworth, Ft.' Wayne Bailway, and the principal parts of his political life were gleaned from him and from Mr. Diffenbacher, whose' tradi tional knowledge of his guest's life is almost co-extensive with that of the interviewed himself. Mr. Bye was born in Charles county, Maryland, and was taken by his parents to Woodstock when he was 3 years old, so that he is next door to a Virginian. While he had strong personal liberty leanings as far back as the candidacy of Birney, Mr. Bye did not break away from HIS "WHIG MOOEINGS. until Martin Van Buren jumped the track in 1844, having voted for William Henry Harrison in 1840. In 1852 he voted for Hale and Julian, and since then has been a Bepnblican, one of the oldest lu Virginia and one of the original Abolitionists of that State. Mr. Bye's political troubles and active political life began in 1837, and were brought about in this wise: At that time there was much agitation of the slavery question, and a circular was addressed to the Woodstock clergymen, asking them to preach sermons in favor "of coloniza tion of the gentleman in the wood pile. Bev. Mr. Diffenbacher was selected to break the ice, the intention being to have the Presbyterian and Methodist preachers follow suit. Mr. Bye had been active in agitating the mat ter, and, after Mr. Diffenbacher's sermon had been delivered, some of the young chivalry took offense and caused them both to be indicted by the grand jury. At that time the denial of the right of property in slaves was an indictable offense in Virginia. They were both arrested. Mr. Diffenbacher gave bail at once, but Mr. Bye was seven days in jail. AFEAID TO PU3H IT. The persecutors, however, were afraid to push the matter very strongly and Mr. Dif fenbacher was acquitted in the County Court, and Mr. Bye's case was sent to a superior court, where he also was acquitted. Mr. Bye was arrested several times subse quently, but generally acquitted, as he had strong friends among the slaveholders; in fact he states that his slaveholding neigh bors were generally his strongest friends. Mr. Bye's life voyage was, on the whole, comparatively smooth until 1856, when he and Judge "Underwood attended the Bepnb lican Presidental Convention in Philadel phia. Feeling was so strong in Woodstock against Jndge Underwood that it was thought best for him to emigrate, and he shook the dust of that town from his feet,-! Alter jur. .Bye returned to woooswck from the convention'an indignation meeting was called, at which the County Judge, John Allen, presided, and Sam Williams, County Clerk, made a sulphurous speech. Mr. Bye concluded to brave the wrath of his opponents, andtook a prominent seat high np and close to the presiding officer. He states that his presence had the effect to tone down, to a considerable extent, some inflammatory cut-and-dried resolutions. They, however, condemned him as A DANGEKOTJS MAN", and one who had no business in the Bepnb lican Convention in Philadelphia, as they said he did not represent the sentiment of that section of Virginia. Mr. Bye replied in a Whig paper to the arraignment a paper published in Bock inghani stating that he represented himself ana taose wno agreea witn mm, ana at tne same time intimated that the Whigs, who were the main instigators of tbe tumult he having seceded from their ranks did not represent very much public sentiment in that section of Virginia either. He states that, numerically, they were quite weak there. In answer to some threats made, Mr. Bye said: "God has allotted to man three score years and ten; but I swear, by the Eternal, that errand", you shall be sent to see your father,) 41.,. Jn-r,l l,Arv, iYltt tlmt oll4f tA " TL. I communication was addressed with special reference to Dr. McFarland. A short time after a gang came from Alexandria, with intent to heat things for Mr. Bye, but a magistrate named -Launts was his friend, and, at Mr. Bye's sugges tion, he SUMMONED A POSSE of 20, and included Mr. Bye in it. The latter circulated amo'ng his friends, and secured some half dozen pistols, and an nounced that they were "for use and not for show." His determined attitude had its effect on the leaders, and they called the mob off. Things looked squally, and that night Mr. Bye sprang from his couch, awakened by a noise in the street, and clutched his pistols. HijL. attitude (hanged, however, when he heard the ,crowd yell, "Hurrah for Bye; may he live.foreverl" Thetidehad turned, and be spent the next four years in compar ative peace. ' , Having along with 16 other men in Shenandoah "county, voted for Abraham Lincoln in I860, that section first became frosty, and subsequently very warm, for him; -and on February 2, 1861, lie concluded to fold histentandquietlysteal awa?y. Some of his neighbors were quite inquisitive to know where he was goingj.but he put them off by stating that he proposed to take a little'ride. Similar evasive answers were given each inquirer, until the train was under such headway that no sprinter could catoh her, when Mr. Bye called back: "I'm going to get behind the guns of my country." He went to Washington, and securing a clerkship nnder Gideon Welles, stayed there until the war was. over. THEN HE WAS HONORED. After the war, Mr. Bye, accompanied by Dr. Irwin, went home, and, securing a writ of election, organized a connty government and elected officers and set things running. In 18o7 Mr. Bye was summoned asa grand juror, and was one of the jury that "indicted Jefferson Davis in Richmond. General B. E. Lee was a witness before that grand jury. After the Court adjourned Mr. Bye was ap pointed Treasurer of the State of Virginia by General SchoQeld, and acted until 1869, when he was elected State Treasurer for two years. Mr. Bye states that Shenandoah county has gone Bepnblican several times of late vears; but the party is not very well organ ized, and cannot' always be relied upon. The fact that Senator Biddleberger has something to do with the management of the party in the county may account for its unreliability as a Bepnblican stronghold, bnt on this point Mr. Bye is reticent. SOME WEBB SHOT. Several of Mr. Bye's Bepublican friends did not fare so "well as himself. One named SUNDAY, MAT 19, Hanes joined the Federal army, and coming into his old neighborhood, strayed from his command and was captured by the rebels. A party started ostensibly to take hi.m to Biohmond, but instead took him into the woods and shot bim in cold blood.v This part of the story is supplemented by Mr. Diffenbacher, who appears to have a less favorable opinion of the people of Shenan doah county, than has Mr. Bye. Mr. Diffenbacher states that he has been walked out around the city by Mr. Bye, who, like the whisky of the same name, ap- ?ears to. improve by age, of late. Mr. liffenbacber states that he himself came near being mobbed in Woodstock, when a boy, in 1860, for wearing a Lincoln badge, but it a wasijie boys of his own age who made it warm for him. , AGAINST TltE TEST1BULE. One Railroad Man U Opposed to Its Uso on Pniaenger Cars. "While the vestibule on passenger cars is recognized as a big improvement, yet some objections can be urged against it," said a railroad official yesterday, "I am continu ally looking out for trouble and how to get out of it. In case of a serious wreck the passengers are imprisoned and there is no easy exit for them. Besides in the summer time the vestibuled trains are hot and stuffv. "For winter travel there is nothing finer; but as for myself Lalways avoid a vesti buled train whenever I can. "It is claimed by those who recommend the vestibulethat the danger from collisions is lessened, since, when the air is turned on, the entire train is practically a solid batter ing ram and will stand considerable force applied at either end. This is in a measure true. The buffer at the top and bottom of the car strengthens the coach and Brevents if from wobbling. For this reason .i vestibuled train is the cosiest'tn ride in. iht is wItit- tha mnni,, ., ,, "But I tell you I wouldn't like to be in a vestibuled car for all that in a lively colli sion. The Chicago limited has collided with other trains twice; but in each instance it was a lucky accident, and little damage was done. I would rather ride in a common car in the summer time than be baked in a fancy vestibuled train." RAILROAD GOSSIP. Superintendent Fatton Declci That he Will be Transferred to the Slain Line. The resignation of Superintendent John son of the Pittsburg and Western was no surprise to some railroad men while others were astonished when they first heard of it. Tiro theories are given to account for his action. One that Mr. Johnson felt that he had not been treated squarely when Mr. McDonald was put over him as general manager. The other is that Mr. Johnson was placed there through , the influence of T. M. King. Mr. Spencer, the old President of the Baltimore and Ohio, and Mr. Johnson do not agree very well, and since Mr. Spencer left the Baltimore and Ohio he has been asso ciated with Drexel, Morgan & Co. This banking house hold most of the bonds of the road, and it is believed by some that Mr. Spencer is responsible for Mr. Johnson's displacement. ' It is generally supposed that no suc cessor will be appointed,, but that Manager McDonald will do the work. Superintendent Patton laughed heartily yesterday when asked if it was true, as re ported, that he would be tranferred to the main line and Mr. Johnson would take his place here. He denied itmost emphatically, and said he had heard nothing about it. He thought the story had originated in the cranium of some reporter. PASSENGER MEN MEET. Mr. A. J. Smith Succeeds Vice Chairman Geo. H. Daniels, Bcslsaed. General Passenger Agent Clark, of the Lake Erie.returned from the meeting of the "Passenger Association of the Central Traffic-, l.rli-;..: v.u !. nu! mi z UlBWUllVUUU'UCm 4U.UlllUttgV. JLUC-UfglMll zation was modified somewhat, and Mr. A. U. Smith, of the Lake Shore, was elected President to succeed Mr. George Daniels. B. F. Knapp was madef Secretary, and upon him will devolve the work-'that Mr. Daniels used to attend to. The question of fare to the National En campment of the Grand Army was referred to the general managers of the road. FIRST OF THE SEASON. The B. 5s O. Begins Its Sunday Excursion t Business To-day. The Baltimore and Ohio will begin this morning to its regular- Sunday trains to Ohio Pyle and Wheeling. Division Passenger Agent Smith said yesterday that the' indications lor big crowds on both ex cursions are very good. The Bice Corsair Company will leave for Philadelphia in a special, train over the load to-day. A LITTLE DIVERSION. The Weather Is Hot for Sqnabblei, bnt the Blood Will Boll Anyhow. A little squabble occurred at the gate in the Union depot last evening, which re sulted in the arrest of a big German named Loeheider. Tbe crowd were pressing around the gate to go out, and when they had en croached too much one of the gatemen at tempted to push a man back. He resisted, when a few trainmen came to the gateman's assistance. " Both gateman and passenger agreed to drop the matter, but Loeheider and another bearded citizen persisted that an outrage had been perpetrated on an inoffensive trav eler. Officer Harrison asked the German to keep quiet in the presence of the ladies, but thelatter's blood '"was up, and he would talk. He was finallv arrested, after a lively struggle in which he struck the officer, and the latter returned the compliment. Offi cer Harrison entered a charge of assault and battery against him. AN UNKNOWN AFTER ALL. Tho Absence of TalloosJLenves That Beltz hoover Suicide a Mystery. It now turns out that tbe man who com mitted suicide in Beltzhoover borough on Friday afternoon last was not Jacob.Ama long, of Belle Vernon. Mrs. Amalong was in the city yesterday and visited the under taking rooms where the body is lying. She failed to identify the body as that of her husband. The lady states that her hnsband had tattooed on his arm the picture of a woman and an anchor, while aninvestigation of the body disclosed no such marks. ,The body was identified on Friday night by John Haddock, the father-in-law of Amalong, vho now admits that he was mistaken. Coroner McDowell has in his possession a check for some baggage at the Union depot, and this check was found on the" de ceased. The Coroner will secure this bag gage and see if there is anything in it which will establish the identity of the deceased. PINIONED FOR FIFTEEN MINUTES. A Workman on Whom a Derrick Fell, and His Release. While sonte workmen were engaged in raising a large stone to the top of a wall in a newbuilding in Manchester yesterday after noon, tbe derrick used fell over. All the men escaped except a stonemason named Alexander Stewart, who was caught beneath the machine and pinned to the ground. It occupied a quarter of an hour to release him. He was then removed to the Alle gheny General Hospital. His injuries, while painful, are hot serious. .

Delegates to the Trades' Council May leaTe the Organization OWING TO THE CAMPBELL CHARGES The Prosecutors Again Refuse to Hoke the Testimony Pnhlic 0THEKS SAI IT IS A POLITICAL PAECE The Central Trades Council of Western Pennsylvania has not only refused to liy the investigation of the charges against President Campbell, of the Window Glassj Workers' Association, open to the public, but they have decided that not one word of the proceedings shall he divulged. At their meeting last night another veil of secrecy was thrown around the star chamber inves tigation and any member of the council who is known to divnlge any part of the trial will be expelled from the organization. The meeting last night was largely at tended, especially by those who are nrose cuting the charges. The only business transacted the entire evening was to discuss the investigation. The few members who wish to see a fair and impartial trial tried to pass a motion to admit the representatives ofUhe press. The matter was bitterly op posed, and upon being put to a vote was de feated by 23 to 8. The delegates from one of the strongest organizations represented in the Council gave notice that they would I v . . place tbe matter before their organization, ana recommend a "WTTHDEA-WAI. FBOSI THE COUNCIL. If the organization does not withdraw, the'delegates will resign their seats. One of the delegates who was present at the in vestigation last Wednesday evening, and who wants to see fair play, gave The Dispatch a synopsis of the proceedings of that meeting. vHe says tbe whole investigation is a farce. being backed up by politicians, and says that if the Council does not drop the side show the rottenness will have the effect of disrupting the organization and weaken every union represented in it. The dele gate said: At the meeting Tuesday night next Pres ident Evans will be placed upon the stand, and he will be asked to make good his state ment that L. A. 300 had refused to indorse Mr. Campbell. The question of Homer McGaw spending his own money to prose cute Campbell will also come up. This statement has been made, but in the opin ion of the majority of delegates in the council McGaw is seeking cheap notoriety. So far as we have been able to discover there is a we'll laid plot on foot to pnt Campbell in jail. The testimony so far produced shows that spite work is at the bottom of the whole matter, and they want to put Campbell in tbe penitentiary, rather than discover a violation of the contract labor law. The evidence does not show that there is the least suspicion attached to Campbell. THE MOST IMPORTANT WITNESS they counted on was John Phillips, Sr., who is a welltknown malcontent in the Window Glass Workers' Association. He said that while he was abroad, he was only separated one day from Campbell. He never heard the latter mention a word abont a scarcity of men here and any intention to bring for eigners to this country. Another peculiar feature of the investigation, is the part the American Flints are taking in it. They have no representation in the counci,yet thgir two highest officers are partly conducting the trial. Their secretary did nearly all the questioning. The testimony was so mter- co.iii fcuufa htvu iiieiuucxs oi me ooara leii asleep before 1030 o'clock. The people who want to keep the thing as" quiet as possiDie ana wno are de termined to do un CamDbell are Messrs. McGaw, Evans, Carr, Young, Hayes and' several otners. jsvery person '.Knows way McGaw is against him. During the Hop kins campaign, when the printers here were .fighting the Democratic rat newspaper of the fcity, McGaw was Master Workman of D. A. No. 3. . Contrary to the instructions of the printers, McGaw issued a circular antagonizing Hopkins, who was a Demo cratic candidate lor Congress. When they saw him dragging their fight into politics, they made it warm for him. He has never denied that it was worth something to him to issue the circular. The green bottle blowers iave appropri ated $100 to help cover the expenses of the investigation. Notwithstanding being sup pressed a minority report will be made and the matter given to tbe press anyhow." The shop of William McClurj, cigar manufacturer, was declared non-union. A committee was appointed to call on the bricklayers and ascertain if harmonious relations could, not be established with the hod carriers. ANOTHER MINERS' CONTENTION. Some of the Railroad Colliers Are Not Satis fled With the Result. A mass meeting of about 300 miners was held Friday night at the mines of the Suer Gas Coal Company, and Blythe's mines at Shaner's Station on the B. & O. B.B., for the purpose of considering the scale recently submitted by the operators of Western Pennsylvania. The following resolutions were passed: To theillners ofWestern Pennsylvania: Whekeas. The operators and miners of the Pittsburg district have recently settled tho price ot mining for tbe year at 73 cents per ton, and since some of the operators have intro duced another scale, viz., that tbe price be 73 cems per ton ana compulsion to aeai in tne company's store, or 70 cents in cash; Resolved. That this is detrimental to the miners of this district; therefore be it again Resolved, That we, the miners of Suer Gas Coal Company and Blythe's mines, ask that all miners elect delegates to meet in convention in Pittsburg, May 29, to take action on the refer ence to company stores. Resolved, That we ''urge on all miners, whether they have a company store or not, to have a delegate present, as it is In the interest of all miners to be represented. Resolved, That we urge on all, organized or unorganized, to have a representative at this convention, as it is called by tbe miners and for tbe miners, and we believe this to be to tbe interest of all our craftsmen in Pennsylvania. The convention will be held in the K. of L. Hall, No. 101 Fifth avenue. OPPOSED TO PROHIBITION. Labor Leaders Who Think Jast the Oppo site of Worthy Foreman Wheat. As stated yesterday, Master Workman Boss, of D. A. 3, K. of L., says that not more than 6 per cent of tbe Knights will vote for the prohibition amendment Presi dent Smith, of the American Flint Glass Workers' Union, in speaking of the atti tude of the members of that organization on the the subject, said he did not believe that more than 1 per cent would vote for the amendment. He said he had talked to quite a number of members ot the association, many of whom are tem perance men, and be has not yet met one who has said he would vote for the amend ment. Secretary Martin, of the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers, was asked how the members of that organization would likely vote, but said he preferred not to 'say anything on the subject. Hei ad mitted, however, that but few votes for the amendment would come from his associa tion. They May Surrender Their Charter. The Stewards' Assembly, No. 10,893, of the K. of L., will likely surrender their charter and leave the order. This assembly has not held a meeting since January, and the Master Workman issued special call for a meeting to be held, yesterday. Only three members pnt in an appearance', and no meeting was held. OARNEGIE'S'STilDING SCALE. It fllay be Adopted, bat It irast bo Hodifled Considerably. The heavy reduction andpla. Ar a slid ing scale at the Homestead steU uUl of Carnegie, Phippa & Co. dV not cause any excitement among the members of the Amalgamated Asso ciation. They do not anticipate any trouble and treat the offer as a mere bluff jon the part of the firm. Secretary Martin says this is the time when manufacturers begin to offer reductions to their meu". There are about 3,000 men employed at the Homestead mill, and 2,300 of the skilled workmen are stanch members of the Amal gamated Association. This organization has seven lodges in Homestead, and they are all in good condition and'in good finan cial shape. It wonld be a very difficult matter to secure as many skilled men to take their places; in fact, the leaders claim, it is impossible. . The men are therefore not worrying over the matter and expect an amicable adjust ment of the differences. In speaking of the sliding scale proposed bv Mr. Carnegie yesterday Secretary Martin said he favored the propo sition to make a scale for a longer period than one year. "We have been in favor of a two or- three years scale for a long time," said he, "and at the next convention of the association will dis cuss the matter.- We may concede the three-year agreement, "but Icannot say on what terms." THE D0QUESNE STRIKE. It Has Not Been Declared OH" Tho Striken Are Encouraged. Although the strike of the Allegheny Bes semer SteelWorks at Duquesne seems to be at an end, it has not been declared off. Since the strike at the Solar Iron Works, which is also managed by the same firm, began, the strikers have been out.and have hopes of win ning the strike. They claim that the mill is not making expenses and that the com pany will beunable to stand it ranch longer The strikers are still receiving support from other mills in the way of provisions and money. , Te force of deputies is being reduced every day and now there are only about 25 or 30 in charge of the mill. IT IS A SUCCESS. Window Glass Being Mads at the Hew Worka at Jeannettr. The following telegram was received from Jeannette last night: The pot furnace is a grand success, as opera tions at making window glass began this morn ing at the works of Chambers, McKee & Co. at this place. Work on another furnace has began and will be finished soon. The officials of the Westmoreland Coal Company visited Jeannette In their special car yesterday. Large crowds are coming to town to-day and many workmen have arrived. Colored Pnddlers Yet Lacking. An informal meeting of the strikers of Clark's Solar Iron Works was held last night in Flecker's Hall, Lawrenceville Several speeches were made, and the strikers were unanimously in favor of fight ing to the end. The colored pnddlers have not yet joined the strikers. Labor Notes. The strike at Carnegie. Phipps & Co.'s Twenty-ninth street works is still on, but will likely be settled soon. THlBTr-FTVE spring fitters struck yesterday at mill No. 2, of .A. French & Co., for a change in the nnmber of working hours. The decision of the Board of Arbitration ap pointed to arrange the stonemasons' wages will present their report to-morrow. Tbe strike as already stated is ended. EvmtxTimrQ is qniet at the Solar Iron Works and the strikers seem determined to win. They are confident of success, and it is said that a strike mav soon occur at the Black Diamond Steel "Works. SoiIE members of L. A. SCO, K. of L, claim that John Phillips .violated bis obligation as a (Knight by testifying at tbe Central Trades' Council Investigation. The matter will be dis cussed at the next meeting of the local. Some Folks Are Very Angry With us and say we are ruining their trade with our ridiculously low prices.
