Symposium.
The leaders of the prohibitory amendment
movement in Allegheny City whilst admitting
' decided defeat are jet not cast down in
despair. There are certain well defined
rumors in the air concerning the organization
of something very akin to a third party as
another factor in local politics. It does not jet
seem to be decided on what special lines this
revival of an old idea will he formed, and con
siderable difference of opinion exists as to
whether this new force will be merely an or
ganization to coaiesce with one or other of the
old parties for the furtherance of prohibitory
views, or whether it will be resolved into a
distinct and definitely united prohibitory party.
Its inception, it is said, will occur to-night at;a
mass meeting to "be held at the Union Kink and
some very interesting disclosures are expected
to be made.
The Kev. John Fulton. D. D., Rev. Mr. Mc
Crory and other Prohibitionists ,were at the
North avenue headquarters yesterday evening
discussing the outlook when a Dispatch re
porter entered. Dr. Fulton said:
I was unaware of the result or the election until
I came down this morning, and, of course, 1 was
very much disappointed. Our opponents1 organi
zation was Tery powerful, hat we, on our side, did
everything In our power to brine out voters. It
was easv to pet votes In the cities, but I did not
think they would scoop them all up. I attribute
our defeat, primarily, to the combination of the
Influences of the two old parties being brousht to
bear against us, and secondly, to the fact that
the sentiment In favor of prohibition had
not had time to crystallUe under the party condi
tions alonp whose line6eere obliged to work.
The people haie made their choice: they want
saloons, they must have them, and It can't be
helped I ccrtalnlv did loot forward to frettinjr
comi help from the Republicans. 1 did think that
the grand old partv would a&sl&t us In our GXtrem
ltv, but It has gone back on us and 1, for one,
won't ote the Hepubllcan ticket again until an
amendment to the Constitution prohibiting the
manufacture and sale of liquors Is made, a plink
In the party platform. Twenty-five, citizens who
have been consistent supporters of the Repub
lican partv were here duriug the dav. and one
and all declared their Intention or holding aloof
rrom the party until a prohibitory plank waIn
scrtedlnthe platform. The only way to educate
tho people up to the idea Is to hai e a party all the
time. 1 quite believe that Constitutional prohibi
tion can only be obtained by means of a neparate
partv.
e, chimed In .Mr. McCrorr. for the poll-tici-ins
or the cltic-the counties we have are
ruled bv the whisky men and they will delcat us
everj tune.
REGARDS IT AS A LESSON.
Kevi David McAllister in speaking of the
prohibition defeat said "I was not surprised.
I did not expect success, although I bad earn
estly labored to tint end.
I look upon It In the light or a great lesson-and
one that, rest assured, will not he lost Belore

traffic. Theirs Is the cause we espouse: theirs the
wrong we desire, to right. It Is not for ourselves
that we have w orked and labored, but for them
and for them we shall continue. We are not at all
downcast: do not Imagine that prohibition has re
ceived anv mortal wound. We gliall go on with
the good work as before, profiting by what the
present defeat has taught u-. t e had an expect

FATHER SHEEDY TOE HIGH LICni.SE.
Eev. Morgan M. Sheedr, ho is Vice Presi
dent of the National Catholic Total Abstinence
Society, said jesterday:
The sentiment of our union certainly favors
nigh license, rigidly enforced. W'c cannot accept
what I would call the pollcv of despair which
underlies prohibition Moral suasion Is our
strongest card, and we believe In education of
the young to believe Intemperance a sin. "We cut
the Gordlan knot hv advocating total abstinence.
We cannot understand the prohibition idea
.llmt a man need not be a total abstainer
I' Fto work or vote for prohibition. 2t s ems
strange for men addicted to drinking
to be conducting forcible appeals and crying.
'Kill whlskv, or whlski will kill you."
Another peculiarity of the campaign was the
number of vIots" made use of by the dni
They also indulged In severe aud uncalled lor
('enunciations ot other people, and no one will
doubt that this method of work hurt them sevcre
lv with people standing between the two ex
tremes. I cannot help remembering l'lus lX.'s
advice to some would-be reformer, that the best
av to reform was each one to begin with him
self. In other words, personal prohibition !s the
best plan. As Archbishop ltvan said In his let
ter, until a majoritv of the people of the Mate or
nation become victims of intemperance prohibi
tion Is out of the question.
CHAIRMAX 1VKEKS CRIES rKAUD.
Chairman J. D. Weeks, of the Amendment
Committee, talks as though he thought there
was some crookedness to account for the result
in some localities. lie thinks the result will
harm the Republican party. He says that in
one district in Allegheny City every amend
ment ndvnratp was rhallpnrprt and his vote re-
F jected on the slightest pretense.
v) 3. C. Christy doesn't think this is the end of
it. and that but one question remains, ana that
istWbatwill be the next move?
Senator Dobson thinKs more money expended
might bare altered the result, or at least
softened it. He says the temperance people
will again pick their flints, and that the Repub
lican party will be forced to again present the
question to the people live years from now.
W. D. Moore's opinion is that the vote will so
embitter amendment Democrats that they will
never vote their straight ticket again, and that
Republicans will refuse to coalesce hereafter
with the Democratic organization, and that the
result will be that the tliiru party will
bold the balance of power, and in the
end there will be a conflict of nationalitl.-v.
John S. Robb doesn't think the amendment
will hurt the Republican party. He thinks
the contest was not political and thinks that
owing to the heterogeneity of the population
of Pennsly vanit prohibition wonld not prohibit
and that the only way to regulate the boo'e
question is to have an exceedingly high license
law and make licensees dance to its music
UNUSED TO POLITICAL 'WAKrAKE.
'Rev. T. J. Leak, D. I)., or Allcgheny-The re
sult has been hardly otherwise than I expected.
It mnst be remembered that this is a movement of
the people headed by their ministers and others
unused to political wartarc, and that we hae
had no politicians to talc hold of the movement
as In Iowa, or as benstor Hoar did In Massa
chusetts. It was a comparatively easy thing to
carrv prohibition in Iowa and Kansas, because
thev have no large cities like Philadelphia
and Pittsburg, with their wealthy liquor In
terests to contend against. Allien we reflect
that It Is only SI vears ago that men
Ik pan to give up drinking. It tells well Tor the
future of prohibition m tli btate that on Its first
Introduction, here, and without, any organization
to speak about, such pooa results should hive been
forthcoming. lamnotsuOLieiitofapolltleitn to
TfmnrL on the nolltieal view of tlic result, but It
Is clear to mv mind that the supporters of prohib
ition must organize a not a part but a com
pany, prepired to act, when the time comes, in
sucport of their views with one or other tif the old
parties. The Prohibitory League which was
starud tome tjme ago in riilUdelphla had not
time to take a grip previous to the election, but a
strong iffort will now bs made to give
It Impetus. Jt would not seem to be
politic to round a party on distinct lines
out of this league, but to organize it and marshal
our torces as to make it worth while for politicians
to listen to us, Any movement of this election
might have been construed as a menace to the
Republican party and there are many Republi
cans, who like Inyseir. while ardently advocating
u measure or pro iIbltiou;are not disposed to sever
li Tien with thenartv on that account. Such an
organization wilt undoubtedly bctbe outcome of
the election and It will eventually carry us on to
prohibition. '.Meanwhile I strongly favor local
option and this I regard as the thin edge of the
1 wedge that will finally split np all opposition.
WILL OBSERVE THE LAW.
Rev. FredV-Ruoff, pastor of the Evangelical
' Protestant Church, on Smitbfiela street and
Sixth avenue, was in a. good humor atbis home,
,' IS Bluff street, last night Said he:
. I never supposed the prohibitory amendment
would carry In Pennsylvania: but I was a little
e nrprlsed to see It defeated by so large a majority.
The efforts or 'the Prohibitionists had led me to
ka believe that they would have a larger vote than
they received.
T Will there be any effort made to evade the
i Urookilawr Well. 1 hardly think there w 111. My
advice is all the time to obey ttie law. We may
"T not lite the workings or 6ome laws, hut as long as
they are laws they mnst be strictly obeyed. How
would It be possible to do otherwise? I dou't
know one man who thinks that the result of the
vote on the amendment gives them license to
break the laws
On being told that it was claimed that saloon
keepers, thugs, thieves and all disreputable
jnen were thoe who voted against the prohibi
tory amendment, Mr. Bnoff said he was very
sorry to know that the majority of the people
In Pennsylvania were so lawless. "I wouldn't
break the law myself even by association,'" he
said. "I wonld never forgive myself If I went
to a place where liquor was sold in violation
' law. and yet I voted against the amendment
cause I thought that personal rights should
4 be restricted,"
SEMIOFFICIALLY PUT.
now the City nnd County Figures Look nt
the Protbonotarv's 34,93S Against

Snflrnce Breaks.
The Prothonotary has nearly all the election
figures direct from the inspectors. They are
marvelously surprising in this. Politicians of
both parties were said to be for tho suffrage
amendment. They were known to bo against
prohibition. Yet the majority of 21958 in this
county against prohibition is eclipsed totally by
the 25,139 majority aeainst the suffrage break
and that out of a much lighter total vote on
tho latter measure. Here are all the figures:

NEW UNION LEAGUE PLEDGE.
What the Prohibitionists Propose for Their
Jlecllng To-Nlght.
The following circular indicates the objects
for the furtherance of which the Prohibitory
League of Philadelphia was brought into exist
ence and will be maintained here and there. The
new organization now under way in Allegheny
Is an offshoot of this; bnt, from indications, it
will be more far-reaching than the parent tree.
We, the undersigned voters of Pennsylvania,
associate ourselves together to constitute the
Union Prohibitory League or Pennsylvania.
Our object is the suppression or the saloon. In
order to do this we unite to secure: First The
adoption. June 18. 1S39, of the pending Constitu
tional prohibitory amendment, fceeond The en
acrtnent or corresponding laws, with adequate
penalties. Ihlrd fheenlorcementorall laws to
restrict and Anally prohibit the liquor traffic.
Fourth No step backward. We will persevere in
this effort until from Pennsylvania, as rrom
Maine. Kansas and Iowa, the saloon shall disap
pear. We declare: First That we owe primary alle
giance to bod and humanltv, to our country and
Commonwealth, and will hold all party affiliations
subordlnatq to these higher claims. becond-Tliat,
retaining our personal libcrt) to chooe our polit
ical associations as to ns shall seem best, we pro
claim that we are, and will forever be. free from
the dominion of the liquor power, and demand
that all political connection between tho saloon
and the State, through whatever political party,
shall be forever totally dissolved.
We invite our fcllow-citlzens of all parties and
creeds to untie with ns In this declaration, and for
the end sought, and to form such organizations ln
their respective counties, cities, wards, townships
ana fraternal associations as they shall deem wise,
with a view to a delegated convention to perfect
at an early day a strong and permanent organiza
tion that stiallcontlnne unlit this great end shall
be accomplished.

Though the vote wasn't all out, that appears
to be the proportion of feeling In respect to

BEMINISOEKOE SERVICES
Held nt Butler Street 01. E. Church Ycster
day List of Former Members Im
provements Made In ibe Church.
Devotional and reminiscence services were
held last night at the Bntler Street 31. E.
Church, corner of Butler and Fortieth streets.
The services were conducted by Rev. Mr.
Pierce, pastor of the church, assisted by Rev.
John Baker, pastor of the Uniontown II. E.
Church.
Rev. Mr. Baker as pastor of the old
Fortieth Street Church in 1S64- His pastorate
expired the same year that the foundation of
the new church was laid. Ho told some pleas
ing reminiscences of the early history of the
Butler Street Church. Among other things he
said; "I remember well, when tua 1C0 members
of the Fortieth Street Church first talked of
buying the four lots at the corner of Fortieth
and Bntler streets, on which to build a Church."
He then told how these 100 mem
bers raised two subscriptions to buy
the lots, for which SL700 was paid. Atter the
lots were purchased the ladies of the church
held a fair and made enouzb money to increase
the whole amonnt to $20,000 With this money
the church was built. He further said at that
time It was a big undertaking and the members
made many sacrifices to carry their object to a
successful termination.
He also told of the appointment of Rev.
James Miller as the first pastor of the new
church. While Rev. Mr. Miller was pastor of
the church it was dedicated by Bishop Simp
son. THE CHURCH'S EARLY HISTORY.
Mr. John Matthews told several reminscences
of the early history of the church, as did also
D. J..W. Covert. The latter read a list of names
of the first male members of the church. This
list was comprised of about 20 names, all of
whom are now dead with the exception of five.
The church has gradually increased in mem
bership since it was established, until it now
has one of the largest congregations in the
State.
The building was lately improved by an addi
tion built to it. In the last month workmen
have been constantly engaged remodeling the
church. New seats in the amphitheater style
were placed in the auditorium. The walls and
ceiling of the church proper were frescoed in
tasteful colors and designs, as were also the
walls of the two church parlors.
The new seats which were placed in the
building are of oak bodies and cherry ends,
both in their natural colors.
THE CROWNING IMPROVEMENT
Is a monster pipe organ. The organ has two
manuals and a pedal, a great manual of 751
pipes and a swell manual of S3S. The pedal has
SI pipes, and there are 23 stops.
The dimensions and weight of tho organ are
as follows: Height 24 feet, width 18 feet,
depth 10 feet, weight 9,000 pounds. There are
1,504 pipes ln all.
The music box was built by Granville Wood
&. Son, of Michigan, and cost the church
31,000. The whole improvements ln the church
cost S7.000.
The seating capacity has been increased, and
now accommodates about 1,500 people.
New doors were also placed in'several places,
and fine beveled-edged plate glass was used as
panels.
On Sunday the congregation will celebrate
its twentieth anniversary. The programme for

LAW AND 0EDER GRIT.
The Finns Will Not be Changed by the Ad
verse Amendment Vote.
"That is a conclnsion that is new to me. I
thought the Law and Order Society was lost
sight ot altogether in the amendment con
test." So said Mr. William Yost, the attorney for
the society, yesterday. He had been informed
by a reporter of the Dispatch that there was
much talk among tho anti-amendment people
that the result of Tuesday's election was a re
buke to the work of the Law and Order Socie
ty, and wonld also tend to changes in the
Brooks law.
"The Law and Order Society took no part in
the amendment campaign at all," continued
Mr. Yost. "Vve hadn't anything to do with it
whatever, and I don't see that we should be
mixed np in it. Neither do I see why we
should be called upon to tell our plans. The
public will find them out soon enough."
At the office of the Clerk of Courts it was
learned that the Law and Order Society had
not returned oven one information during the
present term Qf Court. Alderman Carlisle, the
Law and Order magistrate, had sent in nothing
at all. Captain Dolglisb remarked. "It is al
ways that way. The Law and Order people
never rend in a case when Judge Stoweis on
the bench; they wait until Judge Ewlng or
Judge White is on."
Mr. Yost was told of this. "Tho Law and
Order Society is generally able to take care
of itself," he remarked, "and, as I said to jou
before, I sec no reason why its plans should be
given to the public The newspapers gen
erally find out what is done, and that is all that
is necessary."
Captain Wishart is probably in the city, bat
he could not be found at his office yesterday
afternoon.
AN ELEGANT EDIFICE.
The Corner Stone of tho Transformed
Belleficld Church Is Laid.
Over 200 interested spectators, mostly ladies,
were presentat the Bellefield Presbyterian
Church yesterday afternoon, to witness the
laying of the corner stone ot the new edifice.
The sun shone brightly from the clouds, and
quickly dispelled the gloom of the surround
ings mad? by the morning showers. Rev. Hoi
land, pastor, addressed the congregation in the
old church, stating that the building occupied
at present was growing too smalt to accommo
date the rapidly increasing population of that
vicinity, and that he felt great pleasure in being
called upon to complete the foundation of a
new structure.
The pastor gave a few figures, showing that
the cost of the new church would be 3,000,
and be 80x80 feet in size, seating over 800 peo
ple. A 100-foot tower, commanding a broad
view of Pittsburg, will be located at the south
west comer, and a memorial window, com
memorating the founders of Oakland, tho old
Third Church colony, and other early mem
bers ot the church, will be constructed. The
edifice, when completed, will be one of the
handsomest ln Bellefield.
Excellent music was rendered by a select
choir, and Rev. K. P. Cowan, of the Third
Church, and Elder J. H. Baldwin made inter
esting addresses, after which the congregation
repaired to the outside, where tho corner stone
was laid with the usual ceremonies.
Among the contents of tho box are copies of
the dail papers, giving accounts of the Johns
town horror, and a few United States coins.

'prEESBURG - DISPATCH,
TO WORK TOGETHER.
Johnstown and Pittsbnrg Bnreans of
Information in Harmony.
RESULT OP MRS. EAS1W3 TRIP.
Some Startling; Information Obtained by
the Authorities in Both Places.
PHOTOGRAPHERS EEAP A BIG HARVEST
Mrs. Dr. Easton, her daughter and Miss
Effie Long returned from Johnstown at 9 20
o'clock last night. Mrs. Easton, as Chairman
of the Bureau of Information in Pittsburg, had
gone to tho place to try to unravel some tangled
threads pertainingto her department1 oC the
Ladies' Relief Committee. '
There was no system of. communication be
tween Pittsburg and Johnstown la-the line of
information regarding the dead and tho living.
People recognized tho Ladles' Relief head
quarters in Pittsburg, as the glace wher,e Hiey
could come to get information about missing
relatives. Letters and telegrams sentrto Johns
town failed to bring satisfactory replies, or no
replies at all. It become evident thaf some
method should be established by which there
would be uniformity of action betweon the two
places, and Mrs. Easton was delegated to make
the arrangement.
Mrs. Easton and the two yonng ladies went
to Johnstown on Tuesday mOrning. The sights
they witnessed were far beyond what they bad
Imagined, bnt they succeeded in making the
arrangements they desired for establishing a
communication between tho Pittsburg bureau
of information and that at Johnstown.
Hereafter there will be a daily exchange of
bulletins between the two bureaus, and the re
sult will be that often the Pittsburg bureau
can supply information that is lacking in
Johnstown.
SHOWK ALL COURTESIES.
"I bad every facility afforded me," said Mrs.
Easton last night, "to got at the information I
wanted. General Wiley gave me Major Hous
ton to see that L could go every place I wanted
to go. I tramped over the tops of houses, and
even church steeples. I never had any idea of
how Johnstown was devastated until 1 went
there.
"But tho best thing I did," she continued,
"was to make the arrangements I was after.
There must bo 'concert of action by the com
rrittees. Why, I found that I could give them
imformatlon that was surprising to them. For
instance, they bad on all their records that
Mrs. Huff was dead. I knew better. Her
daughter commenced calling upon us the first
day we were in operation. She was then a
stout, vigorous woman. Day after day she
called, and it made me very sad to see how she
fell away. She became as pale as a ghost,
and I believe she must have lost SO
pounds ln weight before we found out
the trntb. Mrs. Huff was identified as
one of the dead found at Morrellvllle, but
we found after many inquiries .that she was
alive, and she is now in a hospital in Pittsburg.
Mr. Rutlcdge and Mr. Harry Keller, who are
ln charge of the Bureau of Information at
Johnstown, both earnest and bard workers,
could scarcely believe me when I told them
that I knew Mrs. Huff was alive . because she
had been under my eharge for days. She is
very sick, bnt she will get well, I think."
HAS A BIO TASK TO PEBFOKM.
Mrs. Easton has a big task before her. The
Johnstown military authorities want her to
make a complete report of where every refugee
who reported to the Pittsburg headquarters
has gone. It will be pretty hard to find out
where all of them are now, as some of them
have gone as far West as Nebraska. However,
Mrs. Easton has a little book that contains a
complete record of all persons who passed
through ber hands.
During her visit Mrs. Easton obtained many
water-stained and sand-covered photographs
direct from houses in which undoubtedly dead
bodies still lay. These will be retained b) her
for purposes of identification.
A little request by Mrs. Easton is cheerfully
complied with by the writer. She asked that
Major Phillips, "The Dynamiter," be given a
little show. She said she neyer met a man
who was more inclined to do what was right
and so little inclined to do wrong as. Major
Phillips. Even though he put off a blast that
sent a stone as big as a matfs hat through the
tent in which the ladies were eating dinner,
they didn't scream, but quietly went on with
their dessert.
PEOFITABLE PHOTOS.
A Great Rush for PIctnres of Flood Ruins
Illustrated Pnpers Have Been Good
Goods Millions or '
Views Sold.
"It is an ill wind that blows nobody good,"
said a photographer yesterday to a Dispatch
reporter. '"The fact is," he continued "a
great many photographers, and nearly all sta
tionery store keepers in tho United States are
coining money by selling photographic views
and illustrated weekly papers containing pict
ures of the J ohnstown flood. The photograph
ers themselves are taking the largest share of
profits."
Histed, photographer, has already made
about 25 different views ot the flooded district,
and intends to increase this number to 65 or 75.
Mr. Histed states that he has continually abont
4,000 orders for flood views ahead, which he is
trying to supply, but cannot make much head
way, as the dally demand is so large. He could
not state just how many pictures were turned
out daily at bis gallery, as he bad kept no ac
count Ho further stated that he, was supply
ing at least 60 retail stationers witb views of the
calamity. Mr. Histed intends to supply all
Europe and America with photographs of the
great flood hich created so much sympathy on
the two continents. H e has been forced to em
ploy new workmen to help his large force in
the work. From $16,000 to $30,000 is his esti
mate of the amount he will clear on the pic
tures. USEFUL AS PRESENTS.
At the Elite gallery nine views are being
tnrned'out at the rate of 4,000 daily. These
nine views ure pasted on one sheet. A large
number of cabinet size are also being made.
The proprietor stated that they have an extra
force of 10 men and girls working on the views.
He has also contracts with several merchants
to supply them with photographs which are
given away with purchases of goods.
He further stated that up to esterd ay about
23,000 views of each kind or 207,000 pictures had
been turned out. He said he thought the
large demand would continue for at least a
month. .
At Dabbs' S5 different views are being made.
The number of pictures taken at this gallerr is
about the same as at the places named above.
An extra force of workmen is also employed at
Dabbs'. There are af present but IS separate
views on tho market Others are being con
stantly prepared and will be for sale soon.
These pictures will show the new cemetery on
the mountain side, the blasts of dynamite being
exploded ln the pile of debris and many other
features.
Joseph Eicubauin & Co. have Sold about GO
dozen sets of photographs, 15 in tho set, or 9,300
pictures. As these pictures usually sell for SO
cents this would make a total of $4,050 for
pictures alone. They are now selling about 23
dozen sets a day, and have been compelled to
'open a photograph order book, which is being
rapidly filled.
A BOOJI FOB ILLUSXEATED PAPERS.
At R. S. Davis & Ca's store the picture trade
Is equally as large. A gentleman connected
with the firm stated that their average sale of
Harpo3 Weekly Is about 300. It averaged
about 8,500 the last week. He further stated
that if thev could have been secured at least
6.000 could have been disposed of. There Is
also a large sale of Frank' Leslie's Weekly and
other papers and a small book on the subject of
the horror.'
A boy selling ffarper't Weekly on tho street
in Allegheny stated that he had sold 130 up to
4 o'clock and expected to- mako It an even ISO
before 6. The photographs ln size are 3 Inches
by 5, 6 by 8 and 8 by 10. ,
Jn the pictures of-the pile of debris many
faces ot dead people can be seen with the naked
eye, but when assisted by a magnifying glass
many more are brought to light. One is that of
a man who evidently was just attempting to get
out of the door when caqght in the jam at the
bridge, and was fastened securely between the
door and door frame.
Many other regular and amateur photogra
phers in tho two cities are making little for
tunes on the sale ot their pictures.
Another photographer said that it is safe to
say that at least $300,000 would be made by the
sale of the views, and estimated that at least
2,000.000 of the great flood wonld be taken ln
Pittsburg.

THUESDATr . JUNE 'H20,.
letter from Rev. J. L. Lecper, of Ft. Wayne,
Inc., stating that there had been considerable
trouble In that town over a Johnstown enter
talnment. The letter, and a number of news
paper clippings whjch were inclosed, gave evi
dence of a pretty fight betweea the brewers
.and the Mafrorof Ft. Yayne. The'brewers.
who are said to control the bulk ot the saloons,
announced that they wonld give a big concert
and picnio at Tlvoli Garden on Sunday last for
the benefit of the Johnstown 'sufferers. Tho
Mayor protested against it, and was met with,
tbc reply that it was for charity. He still ob
jected, and was supported bya large number of
citizens. In spite of this the picnic was held,
with the police at the gates taking the names
of those who entered with a view of future
snlts. The papers say there was, considerable
drunkenness.
Mr. Leeper wrote by request to ascertain if
the money had been forwarded, and if It would
be accepted should it come. There has been
no money of this sort received from Fort
Wayne yet and no notice that any it to come.
Mr. Thompson, after reading the letter and
newspaper extracts, sent a telegram which
read as follows:

THE INSPECTOR'S FLOOD EELIC.
Mr. JSIcAleeso nnd Ills 'Little Dog-, of Terr
Lnto Recovery.
Inspector McAleese has a relic of the Johns
town disaster which lie prizes very highly,
being nothing more than a very small dog of
uncommon breed which was rescued from a
pile of debris at Kemville U days after the
flood. The Inspector was a member of the
guard of officers who accompanied Treasurer
W. It. Thompson to Johnstown with the money
to pay the laborers on Vi eduesdayof last week.
After the fiistdayat Johnstown the heaviest
part of their work was done, and the car con
taining the money being placed under a guard,
the officers and Messrs. Thompson, Oonrleyand
McVey took a walk around the flooded district
in the neighborhood of Kernyille.
While crossing a great mass of debris a
scratching sound was beard underneath,
iihicli the party decided was made
by a human being imprisoned under
the roof of a house , upon which
they were standing. The entire party secured
long beams and poles, and after an hour's hard
work succeeded in lifting the roof high enough
to admit of Captain Dick Brophy crawling
under to discover the cause of the scratching
sound they had heard.
By careful scrutiny Brophy, after some
time, discovered a little dog lying on Its side
over in a dark corner under the roof. He soon
got the dog out. but it seemed about ready to
die, and tho entiro party lent their efforts and
sympathies to bring ng bim around, which was
accomplished after an hour or two of scientific
handling.
The ownership of the dog was settled by
drawing lots, and now tbo Inspector values his
dog very highly. He says he is confident tho
dog was imprisoned in the debris for 11 days
with nothing at all to eat, and. regards his.re
covery as almost miraculous.

FITTING OUT SUFFERERS.
The Work of the Ladles' Relief Committee
Goes Bravely On.
The needs of snch survivors of the Johns
town flood as now present themselves to the
Ladies' Relief Committee seem to be more ln
need of outfits than eatables, apd the work has
changed base accordingly. Mrs. Williams and
four children were provided for and sent to the
Home for tbe Friendless. Mr. and Mrs. David
Davis were provided lor and sent to Kraddock
friends. Forty others were given clothing and
bedding.
Mrs. Catherine Anderson, of Winchester,
Va., inquired for Johnstown relatives of the
same name, and Annie White, a survivor, wis
asked for by her aunt. Mrs. Monroe, of Woods'
Run. Christian Grumbling, of Mineral Point,
is being asked for. Sarah Young, sent to
Mercy Hospital from Nineveh, dlcti on Tues
day. The body will be sent home for burial.
In the matter of donations Mrs. Clinch Phil
lips sent $30; miscellaneous articles from the
ladies of the Bloomncld M. E. Church; band
kerchiefs, etc., from tbe King's Daughters of
Calvary P. E. Church; clothing from the Belle
field church, and several articles from unknown
donors. The committee is badly in need of
hoslcrr, shoes and miscellaneous female
apparel.
THEY MAT RLJNEW BIDS.
The English Syndicate That Wants to Buy
Up tbo Breweries.
There is a possibility that tbe English syndi
cate which ttried to purchase Pennsylvania
breweries some timo ago will now repeat tbe
effort. Then they were afraid to push the en
terprise until the fate of the Constitutional
amendment became apparent.
Two brewers in this city are still in possession
of offers madetbem by the agent of this syndi
cate for their plants. At the office of the
Liquor Dealers' Association, on Fourth ave
nue, yesterday, an official said that he expected
these offers to be renewed within the next two
weeks. But he also believed there woflld not
be much disposition to sell, because, witb the
Constitutional amendment defeated, an era of
six years' prosperity is opening up before the
brewers, and tbey will want to derive all the
benefit from it possible in the way of business.
He also intimated that tbey had put so much
money into tbo campaign that they would like
a chance now to cover np their expenses.
Apropos of this a New York dispatch says:
"Samuel Untcrmyer, the agent for the English
syndicate which is purchasing American brew
eries, said to-day that there was no truth in the
rumor that he bad made a proposition to pur
chase all tbe breweries at Roxbury, Mass.
These breweries aro Houghton's, Roessler'e,
Burkhardt's and Pf aft1.", and their aggregate
valuation is between. 84,000,000 aud $7,000,000.
Mr. Untcrmyer said:
There Is no truth ln any such rumor, and, more
over, von can sav that tbe English canltsllat&whn
are Investing lu American breweries do not want
the Roxbury breweries The syndicate which, by
the way, Is not a syndicate, but merely a number
of tngllsli capitalists is troinjc to invest ln flour
mills and rolling mills. We are already negotlat
lngfor the purchase of different mills, and pro
pose to manufacture steel rails ln this country. I
am not at liberty now, however, to state where
these manufactories and mills arc,

Thus Thnt Contract Labor Importation Re

The Executive Committee of the Trades
Council last night again considered the impor

shall be done with President James Campbell
and the others charged witb their Importation.
The matter was referrod to Mr. Joseph Evans,
President of the Council. Mr. Evans has not
yet decided what course he will take, and will
fully consider the matter first.

The conrt will sit on the 20th Inst at Phila

lieved that the Robb and Fitzsimmons cases
will then be decided.
The Conductor Not at All Implicated.
In Tuesday's Dispatch there was a state
ment, based on event misinformation, de
scribing an alleged little riot on the Baltimore
and Ohio excursion train, nine miles this sido of
Wheeling. Passengers, on arriving here, had
reported that there were many troubles on the
train, and that the conductor and brakeman
had been drinking. This was a mistake as re
gards the competent, experienced and popular
conductor, Leuar. Ho did, however, put off a
drinking brakeman, and did quell a fight In a
baggage bar, but that was all.

THE PLANS SUBMITTED LAST SIGHT
The grand Allegheny Park conservatories
are to be enlarged by the addition of an aquatic
plant department which will not cost the city
a cent. Henry Fhipps, Jr., who bnilt the
greenhouses, has offered to make the addition
and his offer was accepted at a special meeting
of the Allegheny Park Commitee last evening.
The following letter from Mr. Pkippa was
read at the meeting:
ALLEGHENY ClTT, June 19. 18S9.
lo the Park Committee of Allegheny Councils:
The Allegheny greenhouses, largely due, no
doubt, to tho vtry good management, have proven
attractive to the people, and. I trust, a source of
pleasure and benefit to the conimnnltr. Believing
that the usefulness of the conservatories would
he enhanced byanaquatlo plant department, I
ask permission to erect a building for that pur
pose, covering about 5,000 square feet, adjoining
the south side of the present houses. It is my In
tention to supply the plants needed to furnish the
new house.
Superintendent Hamilton will show you the
plans for tbe proposed structure, which I trust
will meet your approval.
IN AIK, EAItTH AND "WATEE.
With this addition we will be enabled to see
plants growing ln the air, tbe earth and tbe
water, pleasant subjects for enjoyment and
study.
The committee that attended to tbe construction
of the present buildings, Messrs. Hamilton,
Walker, bcarfe and Crcsswell, have kindly con
sented to take charge of tbe extension, If author
ized by you.
Hoping for an early and favorable reply, I am
Yours truly,
Hkjbt pjiipps, Jb.
When the above communication was read
Mr. Neeb moved that the offer be accepted
with thanks, and the motion was unanimously
carried, superintendent Hamilton and -Mr.
Kennedy were appointed a committee to for
mally notify Mr, Phlpps of the acceptance of
the gift.
Mr. Hamilton, who has the plans for tbe pro
prosed greenhouse, says that when completed
they will not be excelled by ani in the conutry.
No price has been mentioned, put It is known
that no expense will be Bpared to make them
equal to any other in the United States.
This was the only business of importance be
fore tbe Park Committee last night, bnt the
zoological garden project, which has already
been mentioned, was brought np. A corpora
tion has been formed with a capital stock of
S100.COO. for tbe purpose of operating a zoologi
cal garden on Monument Hill.
TWENTY STJBSCKIBEBS POB $5,000 EACH.
Tbe originator of the project is Hon, Charles
W. Boblson, a member of tbe Legislature from
the first district. He declines to give the
names of tbe other persons interested, but says
there are 20 of them and all havo subscribed
85,000 each to tho enterprise. It is proposed to
build an elevator at the foot of the bill on
Marshall street to lift persons who desire to
visit tbe garden to the top of tbe hill. There
will be a seal pond, cages containing wild ani
mals, buildings for curiosities, refreshment
Stan as, etc
The company that is tpplj ing for permission
to use the mill proposes to pay $500 per year
rent for the privilege and asks for a lease for
20 rears. The plans for the proposed improve
ment were submitted last evening and the en
tire matter was referred to a sub-committee to
investigate and report at the next regular
meeting. V
Mr. Kobison, the promoter of the enterprise,
was seen at tne close of the meeting and had
no doubt but that the plans would be adopted,
and that tbe desired permission woulu be
granted. An adinUslon fee will be charged,
but It will be very low. Mr. Robison sajs that
arrangements have been made 'to purchase
wild and rare animals, in London, and that-the
garden will be one of the finest in the country.

"What you want is an iEolian organ. What
would you say if you heard a Wagner over
ture or a Beethoven symphony played with
all the wonderful effect of an orchestra by a
person who didn't know one note from an
other? You would be surprised, no doubt ;
still, this is being done every day, and you
or anyone else can play not only an over
ture or symphony, but any music ever writ
ten, in the most perfect tempo and with all
the expression oi the greatest artist.
All you need is an iEolian organ.
Call and see them. Many come to our
warerooms just to be entertained, and all
are treated with equal conrtesy.
