PITTSBURG, SATURDAY. JULY 20. 1889. A QUICKLY EXPLODED EUM0K. Chairman Abbott, of Carnegie, Phipps & Co., in this morning's issue, emphatically denies the rumor which obtained currency on Thursday among iron and steel manu facturers that the firm was cutting the price on plates JG per ton. Chairman Abbott further states that there has been no cnt at all to the extent or in the sense implied; that while quotations vary somewhat, now as ordinarily, according to the grades and magnitude of orders, it is absolutely false that the tendency is downward; that on the contrary, the firm is asking and getting bet ter prices in the general run of its business, and that the rnmor was entirely withont fonudation. The Dispatch is glad to be able to cor rect the report, and it feels prepared to do so strongly, because the positiveness of the statements, on both sides, made to its re porter, led to a thorough inquiry yesterday, which failed to exhibit stronger evidence than surmise on the part of some of Car negie, Phipps & Co.'s competitors. The representations of third parties seemed to be taken for evidence in one quarter, while in another a mere belief that "somebody was catting" was taken as supporting the allegation respecting Carnegie, Phipps & Co. adopting that policy. It is not surprising that the peculiar situ ation of the great industries in which the Carnegie establishments are interested make their movements a subject of keen concern to others in the trade as well as to labor cir-, cles. Nor is it strange that extraordinary rumors get afloat. Some of these, as in the present instance, are annoying for tbe time. But when they can be so promptly and sat isfactorily contradicted as has been done in this case by Chairman Abbott, they are bet ter thns caught early and nipped in the bnd than allowed to grow by the processes of im agination into a positive sonrce of distrust and uneasiness. IS HE CAUGHT 1 The possibility that the degraded perpe trator of the horrible Whitechapel murders has been captured, will cause a feeling oi relief in that poverty-stricken quarter which will be shared to a certain extent by civili zation. The donbt that exists whether the person caught is the real murderer is, of course, not easily solved. The man caught may be a lunatic, with a delusion that leads him to confess to the murders; or he may be the dangerous kind of lunatic that the real murderer undoubtedly is. It is hard to imagine any sane person entering upon the cunning and devilish career of un exampled butchery that has been committed by tbe Whitechapel fiend; and yet the lunacy is of a character that, in the interest of humanity, calls for the execution of the murderer. In the absence of any more cer tain evidence, tbe only test as to whether m the captive is the real batcher mast be whether the butcheries cease '-with his capture. AH IMPEOBABLE COBKEB. There is ground for regarding the story that the Sugar Trust has been storing im mense quantities of refined sugar with a view to cornering the market with a good deal of suspicion. That there is a large ac cumulation of sugar is quite possible. It is hardly to be contended, either, that the limits of tbe trust's rapacity have been reached by the large profits which it has al ready secured. But that it intends to squeeze the market any more is unlikely, simply because its ability to do so is more limited than its desires. The accumulation of refined sugar is an evidence that, even with the restraints pat upon production by the trust, it has largely exceeded production. In other words, the economic law that as the price advances consumption decreases, is showing its effect. To further raise the price would only have the effect of farther decreasing the demand. If the trust should make another advance in prices it would only in crease the burden of itasurplus stock and deprive 'itself of the already excessive profits which it makes on sales at present prices. While greed frequently over reaches itself, it is hardly possible that the trust managers can fail to perceive that their only way of getting rid of their surplus stocks is to keep prices where they will stimulate demand. In a pnblic point of view the develop ment of corner prices in sugar would not be without its compensations. It would seal the doomTjf the Sugar Trust by making the removal of the duties on sugar a foregone conclusion. The trust may be able to per ceive this fact, and yet be ready to create the impression that this is a good time tor outsiders to load up with sugar. THE NEW DIAMOND STBEET. Notwithstanding the Mayor's veto, the passage of the ordinance for the widening of Diamond street was ratified at yesterday's session of Common Council. This promises another r handsome thoroughfare for the central part of the city. The merits of the question, pro and con, have been folly discussed. There is nothincr to add now, except that the abutting prop erty owners wno petitioned lor the im provement will be expected to make good their promises and meet the damages. The Board of Viewers is also committed to the same view by its letter to Councils. If this arrangement is carried out in good iaith the acquisition of the widened thoroughfare will be welcomed by everybody. There is some talk of litigation, and suits may be entered by parties in interest; but of the power of Common Councils to order the widening and of tbe viewers to assess on the property immediately benefited no se rious donbt is entertained. ABE POLITICS IN HI The statement which comes to light in onr local columns to-day, that the ex tradition of F lemon Is an outcome of an old political dispute, and that the purpose is to get him back to South Carolina, where he will be condemned by the ready-made justice afforded to the colored race in that section, for the death of a white man who attacked the colored people, adds a good deal of romance to that case."" The assertion is somewhat weakened by the fact that it was not made in time to have its accuracy tested by the witnesses from the South, and more especially by the fact that the pris oner has contended that he was not the man wanted-at all. Of course tbe pnblic will hope that the prisoner will have a fair trial, no matter which story is true. The movement to get the administration to use its influence for that end is therefore praiseworthy. But be yond tbe exertion of such an influence it should be perceived that tbeadministration can do little. It has for some years been plain enongh that the General Government cannot undertake the supervision of justice in the State Courts of the South any more than it can in the North. The administra tion has just as much actual power over the trial of this case as it had over that of the Maxwell-Preller case in St. Louis, or the Yellow row murder in this city and that is none at all. If Flemon is unjustly condemned by the South Carolina Courts it will be a disgrace to South Carolina;'but South Carolina alone must bear the disgrace "and responsibility. Until then it may be no more than fair to await thcevidence and tbe outcome of the case before jumping to conclusions. SPOILS AND HABH0NY. The decision of the conference of the Na tional Republican Committee, in favor of the Mahone wing of the Virginia republi cans need surprise no one. While the de cision was not, perhaps, a foregone conclu sion, the fact that Mahone has since 1880 managed to keep himself near the machine workers in the Republican organization, rendered a decision in his favor quite likely, even if his opponents had possessed a larger preponderance of respectability than they actually did. But what may be taken as a foregone con clusion is that no decision rendered in this manner will restore strength and harmony to the Republican organization in Virginia. The theory of building political organizations from the top down does not work any better than it wonld in tbe case of material structures. The party decided against will be more disaffected than ever. Unless the basis for a united party can be fmnished by harmonizing the people, the National Com mittee might as well have saved its efforts so far as strengthening the party is con cerned. But the decision will probably open the spoils grab-bag to the Mahone faction; and in the first year of an administration that is regarded as more important than laying the foundations of real political strength. HAYTTS BTBUGGLE ENDING. The intelligence from Hayti promises the speedy termination of the struggle there by the capture of Port-au-Prince and the com plete triumph of Hippolyte's party. The proverbial unreliability which attaches to all Haytian intelligence, by the way in which it is colored Or manufactured out right in the interest of one party or the other, is all that throws any doubt on the statement that Eippolyte is besieging Legitime ia his own capital, with every prospect of success. The United States will -be justified in re joicing at this end of the bloody struggle. While fears are expressed for the safety of American residents at the Haytian capital, the naval forces there are on the alert for their protection. Hippolyte's disposition to respect American rights more carefully than Legitime'! party has done, will also add to" the salety of American residents. If the Haytian straggle should be ended by his triumph, the United States need not re gret it. (The whole bloody civil war should also cure this country of any desire to, ex-" tend its possessions to the West Indies and to Include among its ciUse&s people who have shown such an utier lack of the qual ities of self-government. An analysis of the vinegar of commerce, made under the authority of the State Board of Health in Indiana, proves tha? seven eighths of the vinegar which was submitted to analysis was a decoction of rain water and sulphnrio acid. The vinegar manufac turers seem to be forming the character of their staple upon tbe model of one of John J. Ingalls' political ideas. A veby decided and pertinent attack is made upon the Salt Trust by onr esteemed coteaiporary, the Philadelphia Record, which points out that the purposes of the trust are to extort atrocious pricei from consumers, and to float a large amount of watered certificates upon confiding investors. But while the Record makes a comparison of th'.s combination with the Sugar Trust, it somehow omits to state the fact that, as the Sugar Trust is under the management of leading Democrats of New York, the Salt Trust will inaugurate its career under the Presidency of the last Democratio candidate for Governor ia Michigan. It is stated by the Boston Herald that "Chairman Quay turns up in Washington quite frequently." As onr cotemporary en tirely omits to state what Senator Quay turns up, it may be pertinent to remark that he not infrequently turns up a jack, and con sequently scores a point for himself. A quotation is going the rounds of the Prohibition press fiom our esteemed local cotemporary, the Christian Advocate, which asserts that "thirty years ago a proposition to abolish slavery wonld have been defeated in Pennsylvania by a majority of 300,000." The esteemed Christian Advocate should study local history a little. If it had done so it might have saved itself this attack upon its own State by the knowledge of the fact that Pennsylvania abolished slavery not thirty, but one hundred years ago. The destructions by fires during the month of Juncin this country amounted to 57,765,000. If this country has no better use for that amonnt of property than to burn it up, it might have used it more wisely to burn it up daring cold weather, when fuel Is needed. j That reported Brickyard Trust will be principally expensive to the people who buy the trust certificates, under the im pression that monopoly profits can be made out of a business in which any man can start who has a couple of acres of ground and a few thousand dollars to buy ma chinery. If this trust is ever started its purpose will be not tbe manufacture of brick, but the fleecing of the Iambs. It begins to appear necessary to make the suggestion that tbe officers of the State Belief Commission will institute a marked reform, by ceasing to offer explanations of the kind that do not explain. Is it not a little singular, in view of the statement with regard to the vast amount of English money that is seeking investments in American enterprises, that the balance of trade still calls for large shipments of gold from this country to England? It is more possible that tbe talk about British gold coming to this country has been exag gerated than that the statistics of American gold going abroad have been. That airship which was expected to make a success in aerial navigation, has met with fatal disaster by reason of its inability to navigate in either air or water. "Who shall hold the place of Chief Di rector of the International Exposition of 1892?" asks the New York Sun, which is now making a leading feature of that im portant nroject The outside world may have no especial name to suggest for the po sition; but there is -likely to be a universal demand that the members of the Four Hun dred shall be kept at long-range distance from its management. Afteb all that advertising, the result which has arrived was inevitable, and Mil let's "Angelas" will go upon the stage in this country. - A statement is credited to Barper'a Weekly that the Tammany Society is not a political organization, but remains as it was started, a benevolent association. This ex plains the remarkable distribution which that society has at times made of the pnblic funds of New York. The funds were dis tributed for the relief of the poor. The poor consisted of the members of the Tam many Society. PEOPLE OP PBOMlNEflCE. David Dudley Field is Si, although ho does not lookrto be over 6a He is still engaged in legal practice.

There's a man in business in Pittsburg with whom I became acquainted in 1885. He was then employed In a fairly lucrative posi tion. Thouch a. reserved, taciturn man, be served me in several ways, and we became rather intimate. About a year after I became acquainted with him, I heard that he had lost his position. Then I met him on the street, but only for a msment, and in that he told me that he had given up his profession to go into trade.- , After that Itsaw him once In 1187 and again in the fall of last year. He seemed to avoid me, and as I had no real claim upon his friend ship, I did not pursue him. Besides, I noticed that he had become very shabby injiis dress, and looked miserable it occurred to me that he was not anxious to tell me of the bad luck he seemed to behaving. At first he had been notable rather for his neat habits of dress, but the last time I saw him his clothes were pain fully shabby particularly a long coat of black tbat had. turned almost green through ace.

What he has now is enough to keep him in first-rate st)le all his days." J 'Then why does he wear clothes that are ripe for the ragman?" "A whim of a wealthy man, that's all."

The Habrrdashcr says: "Collars have occa sionally, hitherto, been brought out with em broidered points, but we believe this Is the first Instance in men's apparel in which the embroidery has "been carried entirely around the edge of both collars and cuffs." This embroidery is to be the fashion. It seems a pity tbat the fashionable youth cannot don feminine attire entire. It is not an easy thing to argue down an in surance agent when he is in earnest. A few days ago an insurance man approached a young Pittsburger who is raggedly healthy, and tried hard to Induce him to take out a life insurance policy. Finally the young man, who was not enamored of insurance, said: "Just look at me! Do you think I'm likely to die soon?"

Novel Scheme for Sprinkling- tha Streets of Ocean Grove. Asbury PABKi July 19. A big brass band marched through the principal streets of Ocean Grove this afternoon. Behind a gayly dressed man walked a team of horses drawing a large water cart. A man who rode on the cart worked a lever vhloh' allowed the water to run down and sprinkle tbe ground. The cart was Oiled with salt water; which was pumped from the ocean by wave power. The machine which does the pnmplng has been erected on a pier built out over the ocean nntlet of Wesley Lake. which separates Asbury Park from Ocean Grove. Under the pier are two upright timbers with a big square door like a piece of woodwork sus pended between them on stout hinges. An Iron rod runs from the hanging door to a pump which has a suction pipe down in the surf. As the wares roll In and out on tbe beach tbe door is swung to and fro and the pump forces tbe salt water up into huge tanks wolch stand on the floor of the pier. Tbe machine was patent ed by Mr. Boyd, and it works well. SHE FOUND ANOTHER 6E00M. A Kentucky Girl Loses a Dover Bat Gets a Husband. Louisville, July 19.
