ONE PARTISAN TALE,
Bumors of Charges Against
Postmaster Larkin.
PAETISANSHIP THE CAUSE
Senator Quay Says He Heard Them in
Washington Wednesday,
BUT KOTflING IS LEARNED HERE.
The Party Sphinx Talks About Attorney
Forter's Candidacy.
INDEPEKDEKT FOE DISTKICT ATTORNEY
It is rumored around the Postoffice De
partment in "Washington that charges of
offensive partisanship hare been preferred
against Postmaster Larkin, of this city, and
Colonel 2d. S. Quay has brought the rumor
home This United States Senator is, thns
far, the only local authority lor the state
ment Nobody in the city could be found,
after diligent search last evening, to sub
stantiate the rumor, and, if the .charges
were made, the matter was conducted very
quietly.
Senator Quay passed through the city last
evening on his way home to Beaver, where
lie intends to rest for a couple of weeks. He
just came from "Washington, where he had
en interview with the President in regard
to ihe appointment of Mr. Martin, of Phila
delphia, as Internal Bevenue Collector of
that port. The interview with the Presi
dent was very satisfactory, and the Senator
was given to understand that his man would
receive the appointment within the next
few days. "While at the Union station
'Colonel Quay said:
REGARDING THAT RUMOR.
"While I was in "Washington I heard it
Inmored that charges of offensive partisan
ship had been preferred against your post
master, Mr. Larkin. Did any of your re
porters hear anything about the .charges
here? I do not know that they have been
made, but only heard it stated."
"Is it not regarded as pretty near lime for
'the President to do something about the
offices in this city? His slowness in the
, postoffice matter is said to be wearing on the
patience of certain Republicans here," sug-
' gested the reporter.
. kf "I do not know what the President intends to
do, as I have bad no conversation with him on
' that subject. "Whether he will displace the
- present incumbents on the anniversary of the
date ot their appointment or date of their con
firmation, I cannot say. I understand, how
ever, that Mr. Larkin has but a few months to
Eerve, until the anniversary of the date of his
confirmation; and he may not be removed un
til then. If the charges have been preferred
'against him, however, theT were probably made
on account of their being no other Immediate
way to get him removed. As I understood It,
the charges were not for any mismanagement
of the postoffice, but for partisan actions while
in office.
HE TVOJf'T FIGHT FOE FUN.
"What do I think of the candidacy of District
Attorney Porter against Colonel Bayne, in the
it Congressional contest? Well, if Mr.
Sorter onlystahds a fighting show, it is not at
all likely that he will engage in the race for the
fun or the thing.
"I 'see it stated that it would be a good
scheme to try the Crawford county plan of
voting direct for candidates, in county elec
tions, in Allegheny county. 1 think that was
tried here, about 18 years ago; and, on account
of the many opportunies for fraud that it gave
both parties, the plan was given up. At Be
publican primary elections, the Democrats
would vote, and vice versa. We are very well
satisfied with the way the recent primary elec
tions resulted."
In regard to the alleged charges against
Postmaster Larkin, a reporter interrogated
Mr. C. L Magee, and his able lieutenant,
George vonBonnhorst. Mr. Magee said:
"I have not beard anything about such
charges, and if they were made they were in
stigated by the Democrats who did not find fat
positions under Mr. Larkin's administration.
OSE OF THE VEBY BEST.
"The latter has made one of the best post
masters we ever had in this city, and I do not
see where there could be any ground for
charges. The only trouble with him was, that
he did not remove Republicans fast enough to
Euit one faction of the Democrats."
Mr. Von Bonnhorst said: "There are 62 Re
publicans still in the postoffice, and if any
- charges were preferred they were backed by
Mr. Larkin's own people of the opposing fac
tion. He was conscientious in the discharge of
his duty, and would not profane his office by
removing people without cause."
John O'Leary, one of the Postmaster's near
est friends, said: "I have beard nothing of the
charges. If there is anything in the rumor,
you raav safely bet that the charges were made
by the County Democracy people, who could
not And good places at their disposal in the
postoffice."
AN INDEPENDENT MOVEMENT.
L. K. Porter Intlmatei That He Mfcht Run

Seem to be Spontanicty.
L. K. Porter, Esq., was seen by a DIS
PATCH reporter at his home inEmsworth
last night and asked if he would run, as had
been currently rumored, on an Independent
Republican ticket for District Attorney should
his friends request him to do so. In reply to
the question, be said:
Some parties have made mention of the fact to
flic that there was some movement in the direc
tion of the nomination of an independent candi
date for District Attorney, but I was not aware
that any particular movement was made for my
nomination. 1 hare been so actively engaged in

BEGINNING 'TO HUSTLE.
Good Evidence of a (Shortage of Antl
FrohlbUion Funds Lively Incidents
Yesterday The Literary Campaign.
The first signs of active work by the
Allegheny County Brewers' Association
against the prohibitory amendment were
shown yesterday, when the work of the dis
tribution of campaign literature on the
streets was begun. At the headquarters of
the association, ton Fourth avenue, there
are thousands of circulars, pamphlets, etc,
which will be sent out by mail and dis
tributed by hand until the day of election.
A regular meeting of the association was
held yesterday. It was decided to send
eight delegates to the National Convention of
Brewers, which will be held at Niagara Falls
June 5. Who the delegates will be is to be de
cided at the next meeting.
An important feature of the National Con
vention will be the effort to be made by the
Pittsburg brewers to have that body recognize
the coming State election and make it a na
tional issue. The necessity of contributing
heavily to the campaign fund will be placed
before the minds ot the brewers all over the
country. While the State association has lots
of money to carry on the work. It needs more,
and will not be backward about saying so. The
active workers wish to give prohibition such a
setback that It will not only be killed forever
in this State, but all over the country. To do
this they will require aid .from the national
body.
The retail liquor dealers are also making
extra efforts to raise money for the campaign.
All day yesterday a committee of four were out
in a carriage soliciting money from the saloon
keepers. The members of the committee were
man and Thomas Delaney. They will visit
every liquor dealer and saloon keeper in the
county and ask them to contribute to the cam
paign fund.
"It would be supposed thatthe saloon keepers
who were fortunate enough to receive license
would contribute heavily to the fund, but such
is not the case. While the committee were out
yesterday.the carriago drew up in front of awell
known Smithfield street saloon. The proprie
tor saw the carriage and immediately got "out
oftho road." After the committee had de
parted, the saloonkeeper, whose receipts will
probably amount to 200 a day, said:
"I can't afford to give those fellows any
money. Let them go to some of the big whole
sale liqnor dealers, who arc making money. A
little saloon like the mine can't be expected to
come down with the stuff," etc.
It was rumored last evening that the retail
liquor dealers had considerable trouble getting
money, and that nnless the saloon keepers come
up with the cash there will be a bomb burst in
the camp of the liquor element within a few
days. It has been supposed all along that the
people who are fighting prohibition had plenty
of money: but a saloon keeper who claimed to
know said this was not true
The next meeting of the brewers will be held
Wednesday next, instead of Thursday, on ac
count of the latter being Decoration Day.
FATHER MOLLIKGEK DOESS'T KNOW.
He Cannot Clear Up the Mystery Surround
Ing Nellie Hollawny.
The following telegram was received at
The Dispatch office last night from Youngs
town, O.:
A message was received from Pittsburg this
evening stating that Miss Nellie HollowaT, the
young lady who disappeared from her home two
weeks ago and for whom relatives have been
searching the entire county, had been found at
the home or Father Uolilngcr, a faith cure priest
on Troy mm Allegheny. Mrs. John E. Boyle,
residing here, found the girl with father Moliln-
f;er, and she gave no explanation as to her Ieav
ng here. John Kocfc an uncle, left for.Plttsburg
to-night to bring her home.
Inasmuch as it was thought that this referred
to the girl who some time ago mysteriously
disappeared from her home, a visit was paid
Father Molilnger at his residence on Troy Hili
last night. When the reverend gentleman was
asked whether a girl by the name of Nellie
Holloway had been to see him, he said:
"I cannot tell. ' There are every day about
500 people here who come to see me at my office,
but I do not recall a girl by. such a name. The
fact is I never ask persons their names. I have
no time for that. Of course, it is possible that
she has been here, but it sho has I do not know
it. Her father has not been here cither. I
would be glad to belp yon clear up the mystery,
but I am not able to do it."

At a meeting of the Travelers' Com

last night, the date of the grand excursion

CAN'T FIGUBE IT OUT.
The Business Tux on Booze Will be Short,
and Cannot bo Spliced.
The business assessments of the city are
about completed. Owing to Judge White's
raid on the saloons, the amount of revenue
from this source will be considerably curtailed,
and as the Finance Committee had not con
sulted with His Honor when it made Its esti
mate of receipts, the budget is likely to be
somewhat awry this season.
Though It is supposed that receipts from 93
saloons will be greater than from any 93 of last
year, yet it is difficult to figure out any method
by which to collect the same tax from 93 as was
gotten from several hundred last year.
At best this business tax is an uncertain
quantity. 'While some people are taxed to the
full, there are instances where the assessors
are in the dark, and can't find matches. Some
years aso one man whose business was rated at
$65,000, confessed that be must do 300,000 worth
of trading to make expenses.
UNDER NEW LAWS.;
.A Batch of Street Ordinances Resent to the
City Councils.
A special meeting of the Committee on
Public Works was held yesterday afternoon,
the special orderof business beingthe consid
eration of a large number of ordinances for the
improvement of streets which have been re
ferred to Councils by the Board of Viewers
previous to the enactment of the Morrow street
bill of May. 1SS9.
The new bUl did not affect these ordinances
but as they had been drawn up under the
street act of 1887, tho constitutionality of which
has been questioned, it was thought advisable,
to prevent the possibility of trouble In the
future, to call them back and start them over
again from the committee. The action was
effected by a motion of President Holliday that
the ordinances be altered to conform with the
new law and returned to Councils with the
affirmative recommendation of the committee.
BENT TO JAIL.
A Father Is Charged with Cruelly Beating
His Wife and Children.
Henry Hoffman is in jail charged with
cruelty to his family by bis father-in-law.
He alleges that Hoffman camo home the other
night drunk, and struck his wife Insensible.
He then dragged his children from bed, so it
is charged, and after beating them, kept them
outside in the yard all night
In Favor of Asphalt Block.
The Allegheny Street Committee met last
night and heard the report of the members of
that body who visited Eastern cities and in
spected the pavements. They recommended
the asphalt block, and it was decided to pave
Federal street from Ohio to South Diamond as
an experiment. An invitation from Booth fc
Flinn to inspect the East End streets was ac
cepted, and the committee will go out this
afternoon.
To be Buried To-DIorrow.
Mr, Martin Parker, who died yesterday from
injuries received by a yard engine breaking
through a trestle at the Isabella Furnace
Thursday, will be buried to-morrow in Alle
gheny Cemetery. Mr. Parker was 23 years of
age, and was well known and respected In the
two cities. His father, Mr.T. T. Parker, is

Window Glass Manufacturers and
Workers May Agree to Continue
THE PEESEMT SCALE OP PRICES.
The Western Glas3 Association Hold a Meet
ing in This City.
TKADE FAIR AND PE0SPECTS BRIGHT
One of the largest'meetings of the West
ern Window Glass Manufacturers held
since the big strike occurred yesterday at
the Monongahela House. Almost every
member of the association was present, and
all the important lactones were repre
sented. The object of the meeting was to
discuss the condition of trade, wages for the
next fire, shut down and the appointment
ol a wage committee.
Thomas D. Catlin, of Ottawa, 111., Pres
ident of the Association, was in the chair,
and William Loeffler, of this city, was
Secretary. The meeting was a secret ope,
as usual, and the members had but little to"
say about the proceedings.- The morning
was occupied in an informal discussion on
the condition of affairs. At 2 o'clock the
convention adjourned for dinner. In the
afternoon
THE TVAOE COMMITTEE
was appointed, and is as follows: James
Chambers, C. W Phillips and William
Loeffler, of Pittsburg; Thomas D. Catlin, of
Ottawa, III.; W. T. Gray, of Zanesville, O.,
andD. C. Coolman. of Ravenna, O. These
men, with but one or two exceptions, have
bandied the wage question for years. They
were given full power to act, and the commit
tee will meet the workers' wage committee
some time in July, and discuss and arrange, if
possible, a scale of wages satisfactory to both
sides for the next tire.
At the close of the convention last evening,
several members were asked what had been
done, and all said that they had merely held an
informal discussion and annointed aware com
mittee. They denied that there had been any
discussion of tbe tank system, tho importation
of foreign blowers, or wages for tbe coming
year.
Mr. Chambers was present, and at tbe close
came downstairs smiling as if he was perfectly
satisfied with the result. He is tbe only mem
ber, of the organization operating a tank fur
nace. It has been stated thathe might pull
out of the association, but this is not at all
likely. Every person present seemed to bo
pleased over the result of the gathering.
President Catlin, in speaking of the condition
ot trade and the prospects to a Dispatch re
porter last evening, said: "The trade is very
fair at present; and tbe outlook for the next
fire is bright,
NO EABLIEB SHUT DOW2T.
"The convention did not decide to close the
factories earlier than usual, and most of them
will continue In operation until June 30. There
are no indications of trouble on' the wage
question. The tank process was not discussed
in the convention, and I do not care to say any
thing on that subject.".
Notwithstanding the encouraging repots of
tbe window glass trade, it was learned last
night that more glass was sold during the pres
ent fire than ever before, and prices are fair.
Another fight will likely be made on tbe manu
facturers who are not in the association, and an'
effort will be made to close up tho "mushroom'!
factories; that is factories that have sprung up
during the past year or two, where the pro
prietors paid nothing for the land and were
furnished with free fuel.
Two years ago, when the workers received
an advance in wages, it was given on condition
that none of the members of the workers' or
ganization would work for any manufacturer
who did not belong to the association. The
agreement had tbe effect of forclnc almost all
into the organization, when prices were main
tained. .Last year tne wages were continued,
but tbe azreement was not, and there are sev
eral manufacturers outside of the told selling
their product at whatever prices they choose to
accept. This
LED TO A CTJTTrSO .
of rates, and, although the sales this year have
been larger than ever before, prices have not
been as good. v
It was said yesterday that, at the next con
ference, tbe manufacturers will agree to con
tinue present wages, if the workers will refuse
to make glass for any man not in the manufac
turers' association. This will bring them all
In, uniform prices can be established and main
tained. Tho workers, it is reported, will de
mand a small advance in wages, and this may
bo agreed to if the manufacturers are assured
that they can obtain a good price for their pro
duce. No strike or trouble of any kind is expected
in the window glass trade this year, as it is be
lieved everything will be satisfactorily ar
ranged during tbe two months' shut down this
summer.
The workers will bold a convention in this
city next month, the first one held for several
years. Some important matters will likely be
considered, but the officials of the organiza
tion have nothing to say on the subject as yet.
TROUBLE AT TWO HWiIS.
Amalgamated Association Executive- Com
mittees Kept Busy Yesterday.
Tbe headquarters of the Amalgamated
Association was crowded with ironund steel
workers all afternoon yesterday, and the
Executive Committees of both divisions of the
First district held investigations. The first
was held in the private room by the committee
ot the Second division. They were investi
gating the trouble at the Wayne Iron Works.
This mill is closed down pending a settlement
of the trouble.
After several witnesses had been examined a
committee was appointed to wait on the firm
and discuss the matter. They were given power
to settle if possible. The committee visited the
works, but could not find any members of the
firm, and will make an effort to see them to
dav. The trouble in the First division may lead to a
strike at tbe Fifteenth street mill of Oliver
Bros. & Phillips. A hammerman was dis
charged and appealed to the Execu
tive Committee. The body met
and beard the case and examined
several witnesses. Mr. D. B. Oliver was asked
to be present and was with the committee lor
fully two hours explaining the .matter. When
he retired the matter was discussed at length
and an evening session held. The result of the
deliberations on the matter could not be
learned.
President Weibe did not interfere in either
of the controversies and said he knew nothing
about the troubles. Secretary Martin was not
present at the meetings of the two committees.
THERE IS NO FIGHT.
Tbe Brotherhood of Carpenters Have Ho
Troublo With the K. oft.
A. SI. Swartz, special agent of the build
ing trades, denies the report that the car
penters are about to split in a fight between
the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners and
the K. of L. carpenters. Mr. Swartz asserts
that there is not a K. of L. carpenter in the
county, all of them being in the brotherhood.
Some years ago there was an assembly of car
penters here, but it was absorbed by tbe
brotherhood. There aro some Knights in the
latter organization, but they are men who have
worked at other trades.
There are now from 15 to 20 unions of the
brotherhood in Allegheny, with a membership
of over 3,000. Mr. Swartz also said that P. J.
Maguire, of the Federation of Labor, had not
sent ontjan order to oppose tbe K. of L. so far
as the unions here know.
Charles F. McBride, District Organizer of the
American Federation of Labor, also denies the
report

Frick's works tbe outcome will be watched
with interest.

PITTSBURG DISPATCH,
RESTRICTIONS REM0.TED.
Cat Nail Slannfnctnrers Can Now Sell AH of
Their Product.
The Cut Kail Association, representing
14 Ohio Valley mills, met in called session
at Wheeling yesterday afternoon for the
purpose of taking action on the notice given
theLaBelle Mill in April last of Us Intended
withdrawal from the pool unless certain modi
fications in the existing arrangements and re
strictions were not conceded. The LaUelle has
been a large seller or nails since the organiza
tion of the pool, and generally has around
amount to pay into the fund each month in tbe
shape" of 10 cents per keg on the excess of sales
over and above its allotment.
This monthly contribution became, as It
seems, unpopular with the management of the
LaBelle, and hence notice was given to tho
pool of its intended withdrawal. It was to de
vise ways and means looking to the preserva
tion of the pool that yesterday's session was
called, and there was a vast amount or debate
as to the situation of the trade and tbe kind of
remedies needed for its unsatisfactory condi
tion. Tbe result of the conference was that
tbe 10 cents per keg feature of tbe pool was
suspended for the present, and each mill can
now market its own product without that re
striction. Manufacturers say there is a fair-amount of
orders, and that prices would improve but for
some recent sales ot some two or three mills in
the West outside of tbe association, notably
the mill at Belleville, 111., and the one at Terre
Haute. They further say that- it is folly to
attempt to sell nails at the prices made by
these concerns! and that even these mills will
not repeat their recent sales but will close
down, and that it was in preparation to close
down that they sold their stuck on hand.
They also deprecate the idea of surrendering
all tbe possibilities for the good of their pool
in order to meet pricess that do not repay cost
of production.
WILL HOT REDUCE WAGES.
Flttsburc Not at All Likely to Follow Suit
, on Farnncemen.
The general" reduction of 10 per cent in
the wages of furnacemen of the Shenango
Valley will not likely affect Piftsburg. A
member of the firm of Carnegie, Phipps & Co.
said the wages of their furnacemen at Brad
dock would not be molested as they are work
ing on a sliding scale.
He also said that no reduction in the wages of
the men at the Lucy furnace was contem
plated. Labor Notes.
Bktce Bbos., Sonthside glass manufacturers,
will put another furnace in operation next

' It is said that several skilled workers, em
ployed at the Black Diamond Steel Works,
were transferred to the Solar iron mills yester
day. Chatrhax Abbott, of Carnegie, Phipps &
Co., denies the report that they have sworn in
special officers to guard their works at Home
stead. Six beats were made at the Allegheny Besse
mer Steel Works, at Duquesne, and 250 rails
were turned out. The strikers are keeping
very quiet
Ore shippers are waiting for the reduction in
rates on the 28th. A railroad man remarked
yesterday thatif tbey were required to give ten
days' notice of a reduction the roads would be
paralyzed.
DIAM0XD AILEI'S FUTURE.
The Board of Viewers Hear tbe Property
Owners as to Widening-.
The Board of Viewers accorded a hearing
yesterday morning to property 'owners on
Diamond alley, in regard to the proposition
to widen that thoroughfare. It was an informal
gathering Intended more to give the board some
data to work upon. The members of tbe board
were anxious to get what they considered
reasonable figures, so they could make their
report to Councils.
Many of the property owners stated their op
position to the widening and others favored it.
Major Neeley, who represented the Citizens'
National Bank, objected, and Mark Watson,
representing tbe Exchange Mational Bank, and
Charles Meyran, in the interest of George
Relneman, favored the improvement if it was
not too costly. John S. Lamble, representing
the estate of Isaac Craig, thought the property
was worth about $50,000. Mr. Howard valued
-his at $5,000 a foot, exclusive of the building.
Lee Mason would ask damages for his lease,
which runs for six years, his profits beine about
$11,000 per annum. William Craie. whose uncle
is putting up the new buildingsat the corner of
Diamond and Wood, thinks $4,000 a foot front J

After the ordinance is introduced in Conncil,
under the new street bill, the Board of Viewers
will visit the street and assess damages in their
opinion just to all.
EXAMINIXG THE TESTIMONY.
Archbishop Kynu Visiting tho Churches and
Convents.
Archbishop Eynn, who is here settling
the troubles at the TJrsuline Convent,
did not visit .that Institution yesterday,
but spent most of bis time examining the tes
timony he had taken the day before. He made
a careful investigation of the worth of the
Oakland property, and the indebtedness of tbe
Institution. In accordance with his finding he
will settle the claim of Mother Alphonse. The
amount to be paid ber will not be known until
His Grace makes his report.
In the afternoon tbe Archblshop,accompanied
by bis private secretary. Dr. Hortsman. Bishop
Phelan and Father Wall, drove about tbe city,
and visited the convent and St. Mary's Church
on Forty-fifth street. His Grace was much
pleased with the buildings and management.
He will visit the other convents and churches
in the city before he returns home.
It was authoritatively stated yesterday that
the documents reuniting the diocese of Pitts
burg and Allegheny had been received by
Bishop Phelan, and the latter will remove his
residence to St. Paul's Cathedral. As soon as
he does this It will be necessary to appoint a
pastor at the Pro-Cathedral in Allegheny.

They mean by this statement that Pitts-

FRIDAY,- MAT 24,
TO FIGST FOR GLORT.
The Pittsburg Tnrners Are Entered
in tbe Cincinnati Contests.
A NOTABLE DELEGATION NAMED.
Pittsburg's Temperance Reputation Pre
vents a Gathering: Here.
WHAT THE TEIA1S WILL C0KSIST OP.
The members of the "Western Pennsylva
nia Turnvereins, and those of the Central
Turnverein of Pittsburg especially, are just
now making very extensive preparations
for the twenty-fifth convention of the mem
bers ot the North American Turner Bund,
which will take place in Cincinnati on June
22, 23, 24, 25 and 26. This festivity is with
out exception tbe most important festival to
the Germans in this country that is cele
brated among them at any time, because it
is considered among them to be a national
affair. From all over the United States tbe
different turner societies will send delegates to
the convention.
Mr. Oscar Scheer, the gymnastic instructor
of the Central Turnverein in Pittsburg, who
will accompany a delegation of 23 members from
his organization to tbe convention, stated to a
Dispatck reporter yesterday that tho great
feature of the convention will be the prize
turning. There will be contests in fencing
with swords, foils, clubs and lances. There
will be
MARCHING FOE FRIZES,
gymnastic exercises on the horizontal bar, on
the buck, Indian club swinging. Then again
there will be prize singing, and declamations
will be made as well as orations. A grand Gym
nastic exhibition will also be given by children.
"The members of the Pittsburg Central Turn
yerejn will take part in most of the contests
for active turning. The sincing section of tbe
Allegheny Turnverein will contest for a prize,
too. The scene of tbe festivities will be on tbe
grounds of the Cincinnati Clnb. There are 45
judges appointed to decide on the distribution
of the prizes. The members of our organiza
tion who are going to Cincinnati to take part in
the contest are going to give an exhibition of
the exercises to be contested in, at the Central
Turner Hall, on next Wednesday evening."
'When will such a convention take place In
Pittsburg?" asked the reporter.
I have no idea," replied Mr. Scheer, "but I
do not think that it will be in tbe near future,
because under the existing liquor license law
in Pennsylvania it would be impossible for us
to treat the visitors in a manner benttine such
a grand and extraordinary occasion. There
will be over 1,200 active Turners take part in
the various contests, and tbey have a hall in
Cincinnati 250 feet long. The Turners will be
located in tents all around, like the militia at
camp."
THE PITTSBURG CONTESTANTS.
"Who are the members'of the Central Turn
vereln, Pittsburg, who will take part in the
contest?" ,
"Messrs. Joseph Kramer, H. Conrad, Albert
Fechtner, Rich. Mlrzwa, Karl Buende. H.
Noll, Christian Flancb, Theodoro Axthelm,
Julius Pannier, Carl Schaffe, J. Win
gersobn, John Kugel, John Golden,
L Little, C. F. Friessell, Edward Triesell, Ed
ward Stobner, Ernest Nickel, Charles Turner,
Carl Albenevins, L. Keidel. John Gels. Carl
Guenther, Emil Boeble, Fred Stolte, Tbeodor
Pfalz. Other societies from our district which
will be represented are Johnstown, Birming
ham and Southslde. Wo have made arrange
ments to go and return by special train."
Special rates have been secured from tbe
railroads, and it is quite probable that the
Pittsburcers will charter a special car. It is
also probable tbe Pittsburg Turners will carry
off some of the laurels in the contests.
WILL BEER BE CHEAPER?
An Intimation That Home Brewers May Cat
to Save Themselves.
There are intimations scattered far
and wide that the monopoly grant
ed 93 people in this city to sell
spirits by the .drink will not be so
much of a pudding after all. A number of
men were discussing the matter last night. All
were moderate drinkers, men who take their
nips frequently, but would not' get drunk,
though the glass were made as delicious as
"the nectar which Jupiter sips."
Said one: "We will get beer cheap this year,
and saloon keepers will be wise if they hold
their drink trade as far as possible by better
treatment than some pf them are giving. Tbey
seem to think that as they have a monopoly
tbey can give us a little glass containing four
tablespoonfuls ot beer, and. if some of them
do put up a decent-sized glass, it is nearly all
collar."
Said another: "I know we will have cheap
beer, and home brewers can only hold their
trade here by cutting prices. Many people who
must have beer or whisky, or think tbey must,
and who are not so much addicted to tbe habit
as to be willing to fight like pigs in a trough to
get to a bar, will buy by package or case, and
this is the way they will be served. They will
not buy at retail in this city at all, but will send
their money to some other city, and the foreign
brewer will have bis warehouse in this city.
"As soon as the money is received, say in
Cincinnati, St. Louis, or some other city, the
warehouseman here will get an order to de
liver a case of beer, or whatever may be
wanted, and it will be delivered. There are
plenty of people wbo will have their drink, bnt
who will not walk half a mile for it,"

fSr-ECIAL TZLIGEAU TO THE DISPATCH.!
York, Pa., May 23. The Grand Lodge
of OdeLFellows'af Pennsylvania held its
closing session in this city to-day. It was
decided thut members should be permitted
to wear their regalias on Decoration, Me
morial and Independence days. The im
portant question of tbe session was then
brought up. that of admitting to member
ship applicants at!8 years of age. The sen
timent against such a" movement was so one
sided that a motion to confine all debates to
three minutes prevailed. However, this
was unnecessary, as the previous question
was called after the first address in opposi-'
tion, and the motion looking to the indorse
ment of the proposition was voted down al
most unanimously.
It was decided to hold the next annual
meeting in Pittsburg by a vote of 391 to
353. This session will be one of the most
impprtant ever held, in view of the fact that
an entire new constitution will come np for
adoption or rejection. The following offi
cers were then installed, alter which the
convention adjourned: '

An item appeared in the New York Star
a few days ago to the effect that George
"Westinghouse, Jr., Charles J. Clark and
Captain J. J. Vandergnf t intended to locate
permanently in the metropolis.
When a Dispatch reporter asked Captain
Vandergrif t yesterday if this was true, he said:
"The New York Star evidently knows more
abont what I am going to do than I do myself.
I have never entertained such an idea.
Plttsburcr is eood enouch for me.
There was a time when New
York would have suited me better as a place
to live In than Pittsburg, but in those davs I
was directly interested in tbe United Pipe
Lines. Now, most of my interests are in this
neighborhood, and here I intend to stay."
Mr. Charles J. Clark was busy, but Mr.
Thompson, the banVer. soon floored the rumor.
He said there was no trntb in tbe report. Mr.
Clark's manufacturing concerns are in Pitts
burg, and his business requires him to live
here. Mr. Clark has no intention to leave
Pittsburg.
Friends close to George Westinehouse. Jr.,
