PTHE MAT EVENT
Pittsburg's Music festival to
"be. Formally Opened
IN A BLAZE OP GLORY.
All the Artists and Musicians are
Here, Eeady for Work.
THE AHDITOBIUM IS FINISHED
And is a Great Marvel in its Perfect Acous
tic Arrangement.
WHAT THE MAI FESTIVAL WILL COST
"When Anton Seidl stepped on tbe
prompter's stand at the Exposition yester
day afternoon and began to work his long
arms and broad shoulders like a steam
pump, as he swung his baton, a wild burst
of melody tilled the edifice. It was the first
'rehearsal of the great orchestra, and the few
ladies and gentlemen present stood en
tranced. The noisy carpenter in the loft
and the box decorators stopped their work
enraptured.
The finishing touches to the temporary
work at the big building are rapidly" being
made and to-night everything will be in
readiness for the opening of the May Festi
val. Manager Charles Iiocke with his com
pany of artists and the orchestra arrived
yesterday morning. Last night a full dress
rehearsal of the chorus was conducted by
Carl Better, and this morning there will
be another.
seidl's fejlrs dissiissed.
Anton Seidl regretted the building was
enrved, and he was afraid the sound would
be too much concentrated in one place, but
the first rehearsal of the orchestra, even in
the emptv auditorium, dissipated such fears.
The music could be heard distinctly in the
rear end of the large room as well as in
other parts.
The actual seating capacity of the audi
torium will accommodate 15,000 people, but
this was entirely too large, so part of the
south end of the room was cut o Here the
stage is erected, and the large sounding
board above is almost perfect.
Under the stage are the dressing rooms,
and tbe singers will be admitted through a
door at the east end of the building. They
will go on the stage from both sides up short
stairways.
The seats are arranged in a very simple
manner and people will have no trouble in
finding their places. About 30 ushers will
be on hand. It will be remembered that
the building runs parallel with the river
on Duquesne way near the point. The
side doors will be kept closed, and the audi
ence will be admitted through one main
entrance with three large openings at the
north end. These passage ways open into
a large lobby where the
TJSHEBS XTlZJi BE FOTJXT
To direct the people to their places. The
seating capacity has been gauged for 6,000
people. The boxes are arranged around the
pit on both sides and at tbe rear.
Just inside of tbe main entrance two stair
ways on either side lead to the galleries. A
little farther in the corridor two more short
stairways are encountered running to the ele
vated stage for the people, and the pit can be
reached by continuing throueh tbe main aisle
on tbe nrst floor. The boxes are easily reached
and are nicely arranged. They are numbered,
beginning at the stage and running around the
. parquet. All the odd numbers ate on the
felt band side; all tbe even numbers
on tbe right, facing the stage, and If box
holders will remember this fact much con
fusion can be avoided. A 'sort of portico has
been constructed outside of the boxes around
the room. At short distances stairways have
been placed, so tbat the boxes can be easily
reached. In addition the numbers of the
boxes have been painted on tbe woodwork
- outside, and one will know at a glance where
his box is without wandering into tbe wrong
one or disturbing other people.
DECOBTJM TO BE OBSERVED.
The singing will begin promptly at 8 o'clock
and the doors will be closed at once. Ko one
will be admitted until there is a break in tbe
programme. Manager Locke says these rules
will be strictly adhered to. All the boxes have
been neatly decorated by Mr. Boenigk with
bright-colored bunting. Mr.Westinghoase has
taken special pains with tbe one he holds. It is
ornamented with new choral and shrimp
pink.
A desperate attempt has been made to finish
tbe paving en Duquesne way, but without
avail. Carriages will reach the building by
way of Fenn avenue and Second street, and
they will be compelled in leaving to drive
around the Point on Second and First avenues
and Water street. ,
The singers and mnsicians are stopping at
the varions hotels. Anton Seidl, Miss Emma
Juch and her mother. Miss Aus der Ohe, Signor
Perotti and Einil Fischer are at the Anderson:
Lllli Lehmann-Kalisch and her husband are at
tbe Monongahela Honse: Campanari. Ricket
son. Herbert Foerster, Victor Herbert, Max
Bendix and Helene von Doenhoff are stopping
at the Seventh Avenue Hotel. The famous or
chestra Is scattered around among all tbe
hotels.
Emma Juch Is well known to .Pittsburg audi
ences, and so is Aus der Ohe, the pianist. She
Slaved here once before for tbe Mozart Club,
be sweet German singer with the short body
and golden hair is quiet in manner and easily
pleased. Miss Juch occupies rooms 60 and 5S
at the Anderson. These are the finest parlors
in the hotel, and Booth, Barrett or Mrs. Lang
try always engage them when they come to
Pittsburg.
ENOBMOTJS EXPENSE OF IT.
ItwiU cost about 830,000 to give the May
Festival as mapped out, and the extensive pro
gramme will be carried out in every detail. Of
this amount the Exposition Society will get 5
$cr cent of the net receipts.
To begin with, the singers and musicians
will be paid $15,000; the work in the building
will cost 54,500; 3,000 was spent for advertising
and about 32,000 for printing; $500 was expend
ed for chairs, and the decorations will amount
to $2,000.
The railroads will sell excursion tickets at 2
cents per mile within a radius of 123 miles of
the city. There is a great demand for special
'trains and special cars, and large crowds are
expected to visit tbe city.
Even last night 400 eager people gained ac
cess, by various pretexts, to tbe grand audi
torium of the Exposition building, to listen to
the final rehearsal but one of the Festival, which
.opens to-day. In the chorus there were 157
voices, wide from tbe soloists, while the mag
nificent orchestra contained 87 instruments, all
trained harmoniously. Director Anton Seidl,
assisted by Prof. Carl Better, .has the
singers
TJ2.DEB BEAUTIFUL CONTBOL,
and there Is a surety of tbe already promised
big audiences hearing music to-night the like
of which was never listened to in this city.
Theoorwillbe heavily laid with matting,
thereby Increasing the acoustic properties,
which are already superb.
There are about 30 ushers in charge of the
different sections, as follows:
Directors John iSolsc, John TV. Fullwood,
David Green, James tJmltb and Charles bmlth.
Box Ushers T. B. Hau, William Essex and C.
X. Bonnenl.

Orchestra Ushers W llllam H. 1'rlest, Grant
Armour, W. M. Anbery and 1 8. Brown.
J. A. beavor has full charge of this corps.
The final rehearsal will be given at 12 noon
to-day. and the doors will be thrown open at 7
sharp in the evening for the grand concert at
sas.
The Exposition Societr will auction oft tbe
Governor's boxes, intended for their use at the
lestlvtd, at the rooms of the Chamber of Com
merce this morning at 11 o'clock. The boxes
are Kos. 19, 50, 53 and Si.
HOW CARRIAGES MUST COME.
Manager Locke stated last evening that the
condition of Duqnesne way is such that car
riages will not be able to enter by that way.
The approach to the building will be over Penn
avenue and Second street. The carriages will
drive up to tbe main entrance at the east end
of the building, and afterward will be taken
around tbe building to the level on the south
end. Returning, drivers will come back over
toe tame route, .tacn carriage jnu be num.
bered, and as ranch trouble as possible avoided.
Captain Can Sylvus with six officers will look
after tbe carriages.
Manager Locke also requests tbat rivermen
will refrain from blowing steamboat whistles
for the balance of the week. The noise im
pairs tbe harmony of the music.
THIS EYENING'S PROGRAMME.
A Critical Forecast or the Feast to Be Pre
sented Music Lovers Tbe Artlsu Who
Will Appear.
There is considerable variety in the pro
gramme with which Mr. Anton Seidl and
his musical host are to open tbe May Festi
val to-night and entertain the very first audi
ence that will gather in the new Exposition
BaUdlng.
The occasion Is, in a sense, the inauguration.
of tbe people's Exposition and the manage
ment have planned, by the miscellaneous char
acter of the music as well as by the extraordin
ary number and quality of the performing
1 forces, to make this a veritable people's festi
val.
Conductor 'Seidl whoso face and career
were sketched in this paper yesterday and his
orchestra of 68 selected players open tbe festi
val with the Grand Centennial March, by
Richard "Wagner (born Leipzig, ISIS; died
Venice, 18S3). American pride may feel grati
fied over tbe -fact tbat the great composer
wrote this march for tbe occasion of tbe open
ing,Df the Philadelphia Exhibition, in 1ST6.
We may also feel pleased over the pretty
compliment paid by Wagner In writing to Mr.
Theodore Thomas: "In some of tbe more deli
cate portions of the composition I figure to my
self the beautiful and vivacious women of
America in their festival attire." (Was this
because the "Women's Centennial Commission
ordered and paid for tbe march?) We might
have been still more delighted, however, had
this composition proved to be what few "oc
casional" pieces are a truly representative
specimen of the composer's wort Mr. Kreh
biel makes this
ANALYSIS OF THE MABCH.
First, a simple ascending triplet, which is beard
at the outset from the full orchestra; second, a
vigorous march melody beginning with the tones
of tbe major triad of G (the key of the march):
third, a fanfare for the brass Instruments; fourth,
a broadly sustained melody la B fiat, succeeded
by, fifth, a graceful figure for tbe violins, calcu
lated to mark a strong contrast with the other ele
ments or the march. The most significant of these
elements Is the opening triplet, which Imparts
great vigor to the composition- It is
emDlOTedthHtns.tlr.allr. thatlstosav. it is nlaved
in conjunction with all the other melodies, and
thus It gives the tempo of the march throughout.
The second number of the proeramme is an
arrangement for orchestra of Bach's G minor
prelude and fugue. This is the only work to
be given at the festival from the pen of the
grand old Thomas-Cantor, "to whom," says
Schumann, "music owes almost as great a debt
as a religion owes to its founder." Johann Se
bastian Bach (born, Eisenach, 1685; died, Leip
zig, 1750), within less than the allotted three
score years and ten, made himself known as
tbe greatest organist of his time, and showed
himself the best of fathers to just 20 children:
at his death he 'left an enormous number of
compositions that created new epochs in al
most all departments of music His organ
works of which this prelude and fugue con
stitute one ot the most famous are character
ized by Grove as "productions unsurpassed and
unsurpassable." .They were mostly written
during the ten years he spent as court organist
at Weimar. In transcribing this work for or
chestra, a chorale has been introduced as a
middle movement and then placed under tbe
f ncue as a canttu firmus a proceeding sugges
tive of Bach's fondness for writing new parts
into already completed works, just for the fun
ot the thing.
"WAQNEB'S OSXT COMIC OPEEA,
"Die Melstersinger von Mnernberg," is repre
sented by three favorite solo numbers: 1'og
Tier's Address, Sam Sachs' Monologue and
TTaUer's Prize Song. The first two will be
sung by Mr. Emil Fischer, a prominent Wag
nerian bass singer, who was for eight years
.manager of the Dantsic Theater and subse
quently wfngreat success in leading roles at
Rotterdam, Carlsrnhc. Vienna, and, especially,
Dresden. He has this season been a leading
member of tbe New York German Opera, at
tbe Metropolitan. Into the same company was
Mr. Panl Kalisch received when he came over
last spring from Berlin (where he was one of
the lesser tenors) to marry Miss Lilli Leh
mann. Von Buelowhas wittily dubbed him the
"Lillt-Putlan tenor." "Die Melstersinger" is a
legitimate comic opera, to be distinguished from
the modern opera bouffe and operetta; it
aims at reforming manners and customs
by good-humored satire. Wagner in 1818 be
gan this lively picture of the foibles and ped
antry ot these simple-minded tradespeople of
the olden time, who made music by rule and
yard-stick, as a humorous counterpart of tbe
noble minstrels whose contest on the Wartbnrg
he bad just finished portrajing in'Tannhau
ser." The music, however, was not written un
til tbe period between 1861 and lS67.after he had
written "Lohengrin," the text and part of tbe
music for the "Nibeluneen Ring" music
dramas and "Tnstam und Isolde." It was first
given at Munich in 1S58. under Hans von Bue
low, Wagner watching the performance from a
seat besidfe King Ludwig.
List's E flat piano concerto was played with
such great success by Miss Adele Aus der Ohe
two years ago, when here with the Boston Sym
phony Orchestra, that she will repeat it to
night. This gifted yonng woman of 21 sum
mers astonished Von Buelowat the age of five,
was for seven years one of
LISZT'S FAVOBITE PUPILS
and has fully realized all early promise in tri
umphant concert appearances ou both sides of
'the ocean. Franz Liszt (born, Raiding, Hun
gary, 1811; died, Bayreuth, 1SS6), marvelous
piano player and composer as be was has left
no more important work for his favorite in
strument than this brilliant and orginal com
position. The Ingenious transformations of tbe
few themes employed and the fusion of four
movements into one are points that distinguish
it from concertos of strict form. After his
two concerts, Liszt's 15 Hungarian Rhapsodies
the third of which will be played to-night in
an orchestral arrangement are his chief works
for piano. The wild, barbanc blood of the old
time Huns may be traced into this composer's
veins; its effects appear nowhere "more clearly
than in these brilliant, erratic picturesque
compositions.
Miss Emma Jucb, who needs no introduction
to Pittsburg audiences, makes her entree upon
our festival stage with tbo cavatina from
Gounod's "Queen of Sheba.'' Charles Fran
cois Gounod (born, Paris, 1818), since his tre
mendous success with "Faust" fa 1859, has not
produced a single opera that can permanently
hold the boards. "Reine de Saba" suffered
from a wretthed libretto, and thus soon fell
into disuse after its first performance in 1862,
thoueh an English version entitled "Irene" has
occasionally been given, and several numbers
are frequently heard on the concert stage.
The tamillar largo by George Frederick
Handel. (Halle, 16S5 London, 1759) will De
played by the orchestra, with obligatobyMr.
Max Bendix, one of tbe country's leading vio
linists, and formerly amcert-meister of Theo
dore Thomas' Orchestra. The melody is
adapted from a vocal number in Handel's
opera, "Xerxes," produced in 1738. Is it not
nearly time, by the way, to give this overdone
tune surcease?
THE CBEATION.
The first part of the "The Creation" con
stitutes tbe entire oratorio programme for the
festival. Festivals of seven concerts quite
commonly devote three entire evenings to as
many, oratorios; let us be thankful that we
have one-third of an oratorio, at least. When
Franz Joseph Haydn (Rohran, 1732; Vienna,
1809) wrote this immortal work and its com
panion, "The Seasons," " he rather mer
ited the title ' of "Grandpapa" than
tbat of "Papa" Haydn, as he is affec
tionately called. He had finished his 125
symphonies and his scores ot scores in
almost every other department of composition;
had devoted to the noble bouse of FAterhazy
an ordinary life work; and had returned from
the glories of thar famous visit to London
seemingly ripe for tbe sickle of Time, when he
surprised tho world with these two great
achievements in a hitherto untouched field.
Bqth were written within a very short period
on librettos adapted from English poems
(Milton's "Paradise Lost" and Thomson's
"Seasons") and both attained (phenomenal suc
cess immediately upon their public production
in 1799. Opinion was much divided as to their
icspective merits. Haydn himself, being asked
by tbe Emperor which ho preferred, replied:
" 'The Creation;' because in it angels speak
and tell of God; but in the "Seasons' only Si
mon talks." He also said on another occasion:
"Never was I so pious as when composing tbe
'Creation I knelt down every day and prayed
God to strengthen me for my work." A de
tailed description of the first part of the ora
torio may be fonnd in the admirable Band
Book which Mr. H. E. Krehblel has edited for
this festival. Tbe solo parts will botaKenby
Miss Juch, Mr. Kalisch and Ml. Fischer. In
this work Mr. Better will conduct and reap the
first fruits of the laborious rehearsals he has
been holding with bis 450 chorus singers all
winter, C. V. S.
THE PIEST OFFICIAL GUJf.
The LIqjior League Preparing to Flood tho
State With Literature.
In a week or so the Liqtfbr League ex
pects to flood Allegheny county with the
first official circulars, about 250,000 being
tabled for circulation here.
It seems that at the last meeting of tbe State
League every brewer and distiller was In
structed to send such answers to the General
Committee as to how many men he employed;
how much capital was invested; what was the
amount of bis yearly output, and what was the
amount of yearly taxes paid, This circular
Sires the result.
THE
THE SPOILS SYSTEM
Is Responsible, Says Justice Bradley,
for the Rush for 'Place.
CI7IL SERVICE IS THE REMEDY.
lie Corrects an Error About That Decision
on Prohibition. -
MONET IS EDLING THE GOYEBNHENT
Mr. Justice J. P. Bradley, of the United
States Supreme Court, arrived last night on
the limited and went to the Mouongahela
House, his old resort. The Judge has not
been here for two years and he was anxious
to know how much work there was to do.
He seemed disappointed when told that
he was expected to try the "Westing-house-Edison
case, but he hoped there
would be enough appeals to keep him occu
pied, and be would rather Judges McKen
nan and Acheson would go ahead with 'the
patent case. The Judge remarked that in
any event he would probably hear it argued
before the Supreme Court anyhow, and it
wasn't necessary for it to come before him
now.
MUXES FOB MATTHEWS SHOES.
He did not know who would succeed Jus
tice Matthews; but he noticed that Attorney
General Miller had been mentioned for tbe
place in the newspapers.
l Speaking of tbe rush for offices, he said: "It
is a deplorable state of affairs when tbe Presi
dent's time is taken up with those who person
ally seek offices. Even the Cabinet officers are
pestered to death with these people. I have
thought a great deal about it, bnt no remedy is
obvious outside of the civil service system. If
this plan conld be properly applied, the clerks
would bold over when the administration
changed, and the President would be relieved
of this extra work.
"The trouble began with the introduction of
the spoils system. I know in the past there was
not such a wild rush for office. I remember a
postmaster in Newark who was appointed by
Washington. He held tbe office lor 14 years,
when Jefferson displaced him. The man he ap
pointed held tbe position for SO years, but you
never bear of such a thing now."
BISHOP POTTEK A LITTLE OFF.
The Judge said he had not read Bishop Pot
ter's sermon; but, from what he knew of it, he
thought the Bishop was a littls wild In bis
statements. Continuing in this line he natur
ally drifted into a discussion of the labor prob
lem. On this snbject he said: "It is quite evi
dent to every man that the Government is
drifting more every day toward a pluto
cracy. The concentration of wealth into
the hands of a . few gives them
great power, and they have used it op
Bressively against tbe workingmen. I can't
see why a man, because he is a little sharper
and shrewder than his fellows and has amassed
great wealth, should use it against his
brethren. On the other hand, an equal distri
bution of wealth would never do. in such a
case there would be nothing left to support art
and education, and men would be worse off
than before. I am anxious to know what will
be tbe outcome of the uprising of labor against
capital. It has been true in tbe past that capi
tal overcame labor.
"The condition of the American workmen is
quite good, and It Is strange that our laborers
sbonld be so restful and dissatisfied. They
clamor for shorter hours ana more leisure;
but I can't see that this leisure time doesthem
any good.
IN AID OF SHIPPING.
"For tbe past 20 years the Supreme Court
has been doing all it conld tor American ship
ping by the interpretation of the limited lia
bility act for vessels; that l a ship owner is
responsible only for tbe amount of money be
has invested in his ship should there be a loss
not the result of his own carelessness. This
law has helped the shipping interests a good
deal." '
Concerning prohibition the Judge said: "Tbe
general impression seems to prevail that the
Supreme Court decided tbat prohibition was
constitutional. That is a great mistake. The
Supreme Court merely decided that it was not
unconstitutional. The court has nothing to do
whatever with the question. It comes nnder
tbe bead of those rights delegated to the States
by the Constitution, so that if the question
were submitted to a voce of the Supreme Court,
I am uot sure that tbe measure would carry. I
never express personal opinions. Probably -prohibition
is a good thing, and there is no
doubt tbat intemperance has became a deplor
able evil, but I hardly believe that such a law
can be enforced."
COULSOH'S CUTEHESS.
A Murder Trial Postponed Because an Im
portant Witness Is Gone--Tho Detec
tive Traces nnd Corners Him.
When the Criminal Court opened yester
day morning it was intended to proceed
with the trial of Charlie Allen, the colored
man who killed Bad Lee, also colored, at tbe
Yellow Row on March 21; but, when Detective
Coulson looked over the assembled witnesses
in the case, he discovered tbat one very impor
tant witness, George Owens, was missing. In
quiry developed that Ovens had left tho city
last Thursday, and no one appeared to know
where be bad gone. Detective Coulson had
subpoenaed him as a witness on Wednesday
night, and he left early the next mosning.
As soon as the discovery was made Coulson
went to the Yelldw Row to find out. If possible,
where Owens was. Mollie Reynolds, who was
Owens' "best girl," was nut at home when
Coulson called, but ha returned to court and
bad the trial postponed, and then went back to
wait for the woman.
By tbe time he got back again to the Yellow
Row tbe woman had returned, and the detect
ive decided to arrest her. He went in, and,
with a detective's Intuition, told tho woman to
show him tbe contents of her pockets.
She demurred at first, but be insisted, and
the woman finally pull6d out a money order re
ceipt for $20, which she had telegraphed to Bal
timore abont an hour before. The order had
been addressed to a man named Gorman for
Owens. This was sufficient ,for tbe
detective, who placed the woman in
charge of another officer to prevent
her from sending Owens any word, while he
proceeded to the telegraph office and wired
Marshal Frey, of that city, to arrest Owens. A
telegram was received from tbe Marshal at 10
o'clock last night that Owens had been ar
rested. Coulson will go after him this morning.
Owens Is tbe man in front of whose bouse
the murder was committed and Allen was with
Owens at the time. The revolver used also be
longed to Oens. but it was not supposed that
he had any connection with tbe mnrder.
Within the past day or two, however, certain
information has reached the authorities which
resulted in an information being entered
against him as an accessory to tbe murder. It
is supposed he beard of this, and that is what
caused bis departure.
The mnrder trial will probably be commenced
to-morrow if Coulson gets borne in time with
his prisoner.
THE COPPER TRADE.
Less of tbe Metal Is Sold In America To
day Than Ever Before.
Mr. Thomas, of Park Bros., went to New
York last sight to attend a meeting of the
Copper Association.
Mr. Thomas did not know what is on the
cloth. Prices may be advanced, rednced or
not touched, depending entirely on what effect
tbe French Copper Trust has bad on the busi
ness In this country. Less copper goods are
sold to-day than ever before. Tho greatest
trouble is the cost of manufacture. Cheaper
articles made of other materials have taken the
place of copper goods.
He Tied Cans to tho Dog.
Constantine Kramer was charged before Al
derman Barns with felonious assault and bat
tery yesterday. The man making the charge
is Cario Tariso, who claims tbat Kramer's dog
became such an annoyance to him tbat he tied
some cans to tbe canine's tail and "sent him
agoing. Kramer became enraged on that ac
count and struck Tariso with a can.
LITTLE BITS OF BLAZES.
. 1
Box 93 was sounded yesterday evening for a
slight fire in a two-story frame dwelling on
Lytle street, owned by John Edmondion and
occupied by Edward Alexander.
The roof of Slraub's Brewery, on the corner
of Main and Liberty streets, caught fire last
night about U o'clock. An alarm was sent in
from box 263. The damage was slight.
The gas works in tbe West End were dam
aged by fire yesterday afternoon to the extent
of $100. At 4 o'clock the fire broke out, and an
alarm was sent in from box 113. There is no
cause for the fire known; but the inside of the
works was pretty badly cleaned out,
PITTSBTJBG DISPATCH,'

The Evidence Produced Showed Hit Ac
counts Were All Right.
The hearing, in the coufl of inquiry, of
the alleged embezzlement charges against
Master JVorkman I., N Ross, ofD. A. No.
3, Knights of Labor, was held last night at
the headquarters of the district. The

Mr. Ross, while Patrick Barry and Thomas
McNamee, of The Dispatch, acted as the at
torneys of Mr. McAullff e. ,
The bearing began at SsO o'clock, and at
midnight the indications were that it would
continue until daylight. A night session was
deemed necessary, In order to allow tbe repre
sentatives from the Beaver district to go home
to-day.
Up until 12 o'clock pnly two witnesses were
neara. juessrs. josepo. mii ui ..umi x.
Hughes. They were called bv the prosecutor,
but their testimony was greatly in favor of the
Elalntlff. Master Workman Tloss produced
is receipts for the $1,200, and there is not the
least doubt bnt tbat be wilt be acquitted.
It was stated tbat the charges were made by
Mr. McAuliffe upon information which was
afterward found to be unreliable. The friends
of Ross say it was purely spitework,and say
they will have toe prosecutor expelled from the
order.

SO SAYS ME. A. BUSC1T, OP ST. LOUIS.
He Claims the Home Brewers Hake the
Meanest Beer on Earth.
ANNUAL LOSS TO THE CITT, $10,000,000
Mr. Adolphus Busch, of the firm of
Annheuser-Busch, the St. Louis brewers,
was a passenger eastbound last night.
Mr. Busch was" on his way to Europe with
his three handsome daughters and two
young sons. He was easily induced to talk,
and this is what he said:
"Wbo is this Judge "White who has been
knocking out the- foreign brewers in Pitts
burg and some of the home brewers, too?
I am told he revoked the licenses of some of
the best saloonkeepers in tbe city. One
thing is true, that he has greatly injured
my business, and not only myself, but all
the Western brewers feel sore. We are sur
prised that the press and the Chamber of Com
merce did not take up the matter.
SIGNIFICANT. STATEMENT.
"Lately I- have personally visited all the
brewers in Milwaukee, Chicago and St. Louis.
We have formed an association and have de
termined to buy no more iron, bottles or corks
in Pittsburg. The foreign brewers annually
paid into Pittsburg $5,000,000 for iron, and as
much more for bottles and corks. Cast
year I bought from the Key
stone Construction Company 860,000 worth
of structural iron, but I will buy no more here
until this embargo against my business is re
moved. Thd brewers try to support Pittsburg
industries; but, when our business is assailed,
the people we have helped stand Idly by and
partially approve of it If this is tbe kind Of
people that live in this city we don't care to
have anything more to do with them. We will
bny onr iron hereafter in Chicago, and the bot
tles we will get at Streator, lib
A VEBY PIZEN QUEBY.
"Why is it that the foreign brewers, wbo are
acknowledged to make the best beer in the
country, are knocked But, while the Pittsburg
brewers, who make the meanest beer on earth,
are allowed to sell? It is not right, and it is
strange the people have not openly objected.
"Yes, the foreign brewers have agreed to as
sist the anti-Prohibitlonlsts in this State. We
will contribute our share to down the amend
ment. "Another thing I notice is tbe numerous
strikes in Pittsburg. Tbat is the 'fault of tbe
high tariff. The workmen will allow them
selves to be gulled by the mill owners before
an election, but as soon as it is over their wages
are reduced. I wonder how long men will be
fools enough to be duped in this manner?"'
ONE MORE EFE0RT.
'It Will be Made to Settle tbo MHlc War
The Dealers DonautTneBaipp en union
Abont to Collapse.
Since the milk dealers have made such a
successful arrangement with the non-union
farmers that they can get nil the milk which
is wanted to supply their customers, the
members of the Shippers' Union are very anx
ious to shake hands again with the dealers and
let by-gones be by-gones. A member of the
Executive Committee of the Producers' Union
said to a reporter yesterday
"Qur arrangements with the Cbartlers
Creamery O-mpany bas done us a great deal of
harm. Wo have not only lost the good will of
the dealers, bnt onr entire organization Is
about to collapse. I think we shall have one
more meeting, and after that we will have to
disband. Ot course we cannot blame Mr.
Reed; he tried to do the best he could for all
of us. but thethlng has failed. We are going
to meet the Dealers' Union on tbe last of this
month, and another effort will be made to se
cure an arrangement with them. Whether it
will be successfnl or not I am not able to say."
A member of tbe Milk Dealers' Union, when
asked what they proposed to do with the ship
per", said: "We do not recognize the old Ship
pers' Union any loncer,' Any farmer who
wants to ship his milk to the dealers bas to
join our union. Tbe Executive Committee or
tbe producers' organization has defied us so
long that we got tired of it, and now we pro
pose to stick to those farmers who have helped
us out when we wanted milk very badly."

There have bean 25 men working, excavating
and endeavoring to pump out the threatening
water, but to no purpose as yet. Last night
the two pumps were started, but the diminish
ing result in carrying the filthy sewer stuff
away was very unflattering. v.
Superintendent Brown, of the water works,
was there, engaged in overseeing the mej
and be told a Dispatch writer that the Pmps
would not be working in proper shape before
noon to-day, if then. . . ,,
In the riVst place," sald.he. "these hydraulic
pumps are practically worthless to lift water
any distance, and here there is a drop of IB
feet Another barrier which prevents us from
expediting the work is the crowds of people
who swarm through tho ropes and offer advice
gratuitously, eta. thereby disconcerting the
workmen and exasperating us. There is not
enough police out here." . .
When asked if there was any Immediate
danger to the three housesrat the east end of
the poad Mr. Brown pooh-poohed the idea.
Some exaggerated reports aboat the rapidity
with which the water rises have been circu
lated. Tbey are all canards. This whole thing
could have been avoided if the people had not:
dumped everything over the hillside, literally
coverlnp; up the 'drop.' We now have it lo
cated, and as soon as it is npearthed there will
probably be no more trouble."
F. C. Grove, one of tbe residents whose house
is in the greatest danger, was spoken to, but he
was as cool as a free lunch codfish DalL He
says his cellar is full of water and tbat five
inches were added to-day by tbe rise, but be is
not in the least alarmed.
There is nearly two feet of water In the
Center Avenue rink now. Engineer Lowry,
one of the best and pldest mechanics in the

anything in the management the pending diffi
