HE IS ALL roll HARMONY And Then Ajrainst John Is'ceb, for5 Allegheny's State Senator. THEFLIRTATIOKS WITH WM. FLINN. All These Bijnis of the Times Give Some People the Idea THAT QUAT IS TOE THE PEESIDENCY "Matthew Stanley Quay is shaping things so that he can be'a candidate for President in 1892, and consequently is for peace," said a prominent politician last night. The announcement, at first blush, may seem startling, and Mr. Quay may even deny that he is a candidate now. Mr. Quay has made similar denials before, and tbe author ity for his candidacy for the Presidency is a politician who has aided in times past to elect Mr. Quay to other positions for which he was not a candidate before the nomina tion was ripe enough to pluck. Continuing the gentleman said: "Mr. Quay.'it will be remembered, was Senator Sherman's ardent supporter for the Presidency at the Chicago Convention, and stuck to him until tbe Sherman boom had gone glimmering into the land of booms that have been. Senator Sberman has been a candidate for President many times, and it is reasonable to suppose that his last fail ure has convinced him that his ambition in that direction is to remain ungratified. In that case, whatever influence John Sherman retains ought, in the nature ot things, to go to the man who was faithful to him if that man desires it. It is stated that Senator Quay not only desires jnst that thing, but the Sherman machine in the South is al ready in his hands and is being repaired for his own use in 1892. He expects, it is said, that the first demand for Quay for President will come trom the Southern protectionists, and that the Xorth will then re-echo the cry. PITTSBUBO TLXTTSG A PABT. "This is why Mr. Quay has been bending his best efforts so strongly of late in the direction of harmony. He was inPittsburg to-day on a mission of peace, hut owing to the large number of callers, negotiations did not proceed much further than a gen eral understanding of what Mr. Quay was here for. Of course, Mr. Quay wants enough harmony in the party this fall to elect Henry K. Boyer State Treasurer, but Mr. Boyer is merely one item in the gen eral plan, though no inconsiderable one. His election will be of great service to Mr. Quay in next year's Guber natorial and Legislative campaign, and that election will have no small influence on Mr. Quay's hopes for greater things further along. The olive branch that Quay has been ostentatiously holding out to Mr. Mc Manes in Philadelphia just at the time when everybody thought the Beaver states man was laying his plans to crush the Quaker City leader, does not seem so strange a thing in the light of the former gentle man's reported ambition. The peace that was patched up with so much labor between theMahone and Brady factions in Virginia also takes on a different appearance in the same illumination." TEST EBD AY'S CONFERENCE. On the surface yp&terdav more attention was paid to the differences of opinion be tween the friends of Mr. Speer, of Alle gheny, and those of Senator Rutan as to which should be the Quay candidate for the Republican nomination of State Senator next fall against John Neeb. Really, how ever, the thirg nearest Mr. Quay's heart was the general healing of the factional differences in Allegheny county, and it is reported that he is willing to go to great lengths to secure this. Mr. Quay made a trial of Mr. Magee's strength here last May and discovered that it was something not to be too lightly es teemed. It is true that Quay men predomi nate tbe delegation to the State Convention, but the Magee men said they made no fight for delegates, as the convention's nominee was bound to be Boyer. But they did fight for the local organization, with what result is well known. Since then steps have been taken to assault theQuay strongholds in the county. Arrangements are being periested to give Colonel Buyne the hardest fight of his life to retain his seat in Congress. Quay Legislative districts have been looked on with belligerent feelings by tbe Magee men and the last straw was the determination that John Xeeb shonld contest Rutan's Sena torial district, which determination was ar rived at, it is said, at a conference of Magee leaders that determined at the same time to place ex-Postmaster and Mayor's Clerk Mc Clcary in the field for Sheriff. All these things, coupled with many threats that Mr. Macee would go into the State next year determined on Quav gore, indicated some very lively time: r.head and decided the Beaver county Napoleon to come here to see what could be done about' it. QUAT AND FLINN. It is reported now he is here that he is willing to make many concessions to the Magee people, and so told Mr. Flinn yester day when that gentleman met him by re quest. How far Mr. Quay is willing to go with his concessions cannot be fully told, but there arc rumors that be is willing the Magee men shall have all the subordinate Federal positions provided no objection is made to his having the principal places such as the Fostmastership,Surveyorship oi tbe Port, etc. In other words, Mr. Quay is willing to retire from all contests for ascendency vin Allegheny county if tbe mere semblance of supremacy is conceded him. He wants this appear ance of power for use in other parts of the State and for use outside the State. This, with tbe fact that the Allegheny county delegation to the State Convention embraces a majority of Quay men can be turned to good account by that gentleman in places where it can do him much good. Another storv of yesterday's negotiations is that the kind of a peace Mr. Quay was trying to negotiate with Mr. Flinn was of a nature that might place Mr. Magee "in the soup." In short, it contemplated the delivery of Allegheny county to Mr. Quay bv Mr. Plinn, in return for which the latter should control the Federal patronage of the county. Persons close to both Mr. Plinn and Mr. Magee denied that there was any probability of any such bargain. They said the county wonldn't permit itself to be delivered in that way; that MB. MAGEE'S PEKSOX Alt FOLLOWING was too strong for anything of the kind to he made a success, and that if Mr. "Quay and Mr. Flinn should make any such a bar gain the latter would have by far the best of it, for Mr. Flinn would have every thing and Mr. Quay would have nothing. It was noticeable that Quay men were not taking exactly that view of it. They cling to tbe hope born during the May contest that Mr. Flinn is able to throw Mr., Magee overboard if he will and that he is quite likely to do it if Senator Quay will only hold out tbe proper induce ments. The Quay people have, it is certain, been coquetting with Mr. Flinn since that time. Many regard Collector Warmcastle's vote in Councils against the Mayor's Dia mond street veto as an indica tion that something was on foot toward patching up a peace between the local factions, and some thought at first that it was a case of Warmcastle going over to the enemy, inasmuch as Mayor McCallin is a good Quav man himself. To-day these people regard it as one of the efforts to get the enemy to come over on the Quay side. QUAY'S MANY CALLERS. Mr. Quay occupied room 123 at the Seventh Avenue Hotel yesterday. United States District Attorney Lyon, Collector Warmcastle, J. S. McKean, who expects to be postmaster of Pittsburg, and John Gilliland, who expects to be post master of Allegheny, were among his callers. Among those who called on him in relation to Senatorial matters in Al legheny were W. W. Speer, one of the can didates, Emanuel "Wertheimer, Charles and Marvin Scaife, E. M. Byers, James Hunter, Arthur Kennedy, James Bradley and Hon. "Wm. Marshall. Nelson P. Heed, whose guest Mr. Quay was the night before last, was with him all day yesterday. Senator Dclamaterand State Chairman Andrews will be at the hotel this morning. Mr. Reed, who is supposed to know what was in tbe wind, if any one did, stated that the object of the conference was to settle the triangular controversy regarding tbe State Senatorship from tbe Allegheny district be tween Messrs. J. S. Bntan, W. W. Speer and John Neeb, and that he knew of no other object in view. Most of the visitors, he said, were Speer's friends. Mr. J. S. McKean refused to tell what he knew, but his statement was corroborative of Mr. Heed's, from the fact that Mr. McKean's refusal was based on tbe assertion that be had no personal interest in the matter under consideration. At 3 o'clock tbe mercury at the Seventh Avenue Hotel uniiormly reported that room 123 was untenanted, and it was stated that Senator Quay had folded his tent and had departed for Beaver. Mr. McKean accompanied Mr. Quay to the depot and said later to a iriend that Mr. Quay had made no decision in the Al legheny Senatorial district and probably would not until Senator Bntan returned:. Mr. Quay, he is reported to have said, is not tbe kind of person to dump a man in his absence. This was in reply to an opin ion that Mr. Quay was going to do that very thing, and is not to be taken as an indica tion that Mr. Quay is merely waiting lor Mr. Rutan's return to do it. THE-DELEGATION ORGANIZED. ', ,' The Allegheny delegation to the State Convention showed itself to be a Quay dele gation by electing Arthur Kennedy Chair man and Harry Armstrong Secretary- The meeting was held in United States District Attorney Lyon's office, and on his motion resolutions were adopted indorsing H. K. Boyer for State Treasurer and W. H. An drews for State Chairman. A very close friend of John Neeb said last night in reply to an inquiry recarding the Quay conference and its object: "Quay is here by request of a former Allegheny friend of Bntan who now opposes bis can didacy for Senator in the Forty-second dis trict. The conference lasted from 1030 to 12 o'clock, and the only subject discussed was the advisability of the withdrawal of Rutin. This proposition was enthusiastic ally received by some of the company pres ent, but Quay suggested that nothing be done until the 'old man's' return, as he was a stubborn fellow and might 'kick over the traces.' As Quay pooh-poohed the idea of Neeb standing for a candidate but a short time ago, and declared that Bntan would 'wipe the ground up with him, the propo sition to withdraw Butan's name is at least suggestive.

The Local Colored Folks Will Carry tho War Into Africa. WHAT THE TWO GOVERNORS EEJTARKED The Rev. Mr. Flemon, alias Yeldell, was not sent South yesterday, as was expected, and the colored preacher about whom so much has been said must be content with his present confinement for another 24, or possibly 48 hours. The delay in the deputy marshal's departure with their man is due to the fact that the Sheriff has not received the necessary papers from theExecutive,aufhor izing him to turn his prisoner over to the South Carolina authorities, and until every formality in this respect has been complied with the Bev. E. F. Yeldell cannot stir from the city. During the day Deputy Lyon re ceived the following telegram from Governor Richardson: Take prisoner to Columbia and turn him over to Sheriff. The receipt of this message was regarded as tbe precursor of still further marching in structions from Governor Beaver, but though various visits were made by the deputies to the postoffice and other sources of information, none had arrived up to a late hour. There is a probability of the necessary papers having arrived on last night's mail, and in the event of their reaching the hands of Marshal Strom and his coadjutor this morning A QUICK RETREAT will be made southward. Two things are clear, however, namely: that Governor Beaver will not issue the papers for Tel- dell's extradition until he has received as surance from tbe South Carolinian Governor that Yeldell will be sufficiently protected, and that Sheriff McCandless will insist on every formality being undergone before handing over his prisoner. The more intelligent amongst tbe colored people, as gathered from conversations held with some of them yesterday, are now con vinced that Yeldell 'will receive fair treat ment and a fair trial at the bands of the Southerners, for, as they justly reason, so much and such wide-spread publicity has been given to the facts in tbe case that it the Palmetto State does not accord Flemon every opportunity for a fair trial its reputa tion for justice will BE BLASTED FOREVER. Consequently there is not so much excite ment amongst colored people as during the earlier stages of the case, and only occasion ally yesterday did sentiment, regarding the wind up of the fight, find vent in strong ex pressions. The pair of deputies spent their time very much as they did the previous weeks, in strolling from their hotel to Central station, and from Central station to their hotel, with occasional short excursions toward the Court House and City Hall. If the wrathful, glances shot at them yesterday evening from tbe blazing orbs of a group of gaily attired colored misses, who pulled up opposite Cen tral station to have a look at the two South eners. could have killed, verily these two gentlemen would never again look upon the fair LAND OF THEIR BIRTH. They cheered up yesterday at the prospect of soon returning home, and Deputy Strom whiled away the time spent in the chairs on the sidewalk by describing some of the pe culiarities of the people 'mongst whom he lives. "It is a long and lonely journey we have before us to-morrow," said the Deputy. "I hoped to have got home by Snnday, but I reckon we won't now." They expect to take their prisoner away without any noise or trouble, and are confi dent that he will be giyen every oppor tunity for defense whec brought to trial. ANOTHER LIVELY MEETING. The colored people were very slow in gathering at the Franklin street school house last night, and it was 8:40 o'clock before President Isaac Washington took his seat and 8:45 before he called time on the assemblage. Mr. Massey made a prayer; and the decks were cleared for action. Tbe Chairman stated that the object of the meeting was to take steps to follow the Flemon case to South Carolina. Mr. Foster still adhered to his original proposed plan, to have a lawyer of national prominence defend Flemon. "He moved the appointment of a committee to procure legal talent. Mr. D. M. Washington objected, stating that Bev. Clinton had been given a draft on New York to secure a lawyer in South Caro lina, and thought it best to await the report of Bev. Clinton before taking action. Mr. G. W. Massey thought the commit tee mizht be appointed all tbe Fame and Mr. Clinton placed on it The suggestion prevailed, and Kev. G. W.' Clinton, J. M. F. Foster and M. K. Holland were ap pointed the committee. FLEMON ISN'T A GOOSE. Mr. D. M. Washington stated that he had called on Rev. Flemon yesterSay and found that it was far from his mind either to suicide or attempt the destruction of the South Carolina officers. He said Flemon felt grateful to the press and people of Pittsburg. Mr. Washington said he was now well satisfied to see Flemon go to South Carolina, as he believed the agitation had made it possible for the accused to get something in the nature of a fair trial, and with a good lawyer to defend him stood a fair show of being allowed to come back to Pennsylvania. Mr. Washington thought the South Carolina deputy sheriff who was al leged to have said "a nigger couldn't look a white man in the face," didn't know the negroes of Pittsburg, and only judged from the down-trodden specimens lie met with in South Carolina. The deputy referred to was Mr. Strom. Mr. Boy said he didn't believe Mr. Strom was a representative of the better class of South Carolina Deoplc The alleged ob jectionable utterance was "that the niggers of South Carolina didn't get justice or more of them would be killed." SOME OF BROADAX'S CHIPS. Broadax Smith reported the conference of the committee and Governor Beaver in Har risburg. Broadax said that not a dollar had been wasted, and it would not be wasted even it Flemon were to be hung. Broadax didn't take much stock in South Carolina. Northern Democracy didn't have mnch place in Mr. Smith's confidence, let alone Southern Democracy. He doesn't have much confidence in Flemon's release, and doesn't want any church work. "It's all right to pray, but 'put your boodle on top of it. ,The churches have been praying, but Flemon goes back to South Carolina all the same." Mr. Smith said he'd rather have dollars than all the prayers that can be put up. Give us boodle. Save your money: save what you spend for cigars and booze, and give IK I'm not drinking much now. Come for me, too. If I haven't any money I'll borrow It from the old womtn. You needn't ask turkey legged dudes, white or black, for it, but ask oar colored washwomen. I haven't mnch love for Governor Beaver not enough to sleep with him but he did all he could. I take no stock in Democrats. The Republicans are our friends, though taey are weak-kneed at times. I don't want to find fault with Judge Ewlng, tor his grandfather set my grandfather free, and also gave tbe old man a horse which be bad stolen from bis master. Judge Ewing might at onetlmo set Flemon free, but Judge Ewing, like myself, is not infallible. He makes mistakes sometimes as well as myself. REV. CLINTON'S MISSION. Mr. Richard Keys got up a considerable row at the conclusion of Bioadax's speech, but was suppressed finally in order to let Rev. Clinton report the success of his mis sion to South Carolina. He seemed to .think it possible that Flemon would be acquitted. He said that people jn South Carolina spoke ot ueputy. onenn xiyon as a scoundrel. I This announcement evoked long continued 1 applause. In Charleston $100 had been raised tor Flemon. Mr. Benet, the South Carolina lawyer, charges $750 to take Flem on's case. Financial sensation. In conclusion Bev. Clinton advised that no viqjent effort be made to save Flemon, and predicted that he would come back un scathed, for the wickedness of Sonth Caro lina bus been uncovered and she will be the sufferer in the eyes of tbe whole civilized world it Flemon does not get a fair trial. Bey. Clinton agreed with Broadax that Judge Ewing had made a mistake atone time. Rev. Clinton also rather favored the employment of Colonel Echols to defend Flemon iu South Carolina, holding that tbe fact that he had been on the other side here does not militgate against the proposition, as lawyers were indifferent which side they had in a" case." The speaker advocated this as a matter of policy, but cries of "Let him stay on the other side!" downed the advocate for the time being. Mr. Keys lought his way to the front again and spoke rather plainly. He said he would speak the truth, and if it hurt anyone he could put salve on his wounds. Mr. Keys' remarks certainly weren't brewed from milk and water. D. M. Washington, Treasurer, reported that the total collection for the Flemon fund had been $466 44. There had been expended for counsel fees, expenses oi Mr. Clinton and the committees that visited Uniontown and Harrisburg, $413 67, leaving a balance on hands of $53 77. B- F. Stewart stated that what is now wanted is a committee of about five reputa ble citizens to prepare an appeal to all the colored organizations, churches, etc, in the United States for funds for the case. In pursuance of a motion by Mr. Stewart a committee for that purpose was appointed. It consists of T. W. Gails, John Ray, B. F. Stewart, Joseph Smith and "Broadax" Smith. A collection real izing a few dollars was taken up and the meeting adjourned until Friday evening. "WHAT THE GOVERNOB SAID. What the Governor of Pennsylvania said to the Governor of South Carolina is re vealed in the following dispatch from Har risburg: This morning Governor Beaver received a telegram and letter from Governor Richard son, of South Carolina, in regard to the Flemon case. In the telegram the Southern Governor pledged himself to insure Flemon a fair and impartial trial. Hetbanked Governor Beaver for what tbe latter has done to secure the prisoner's extradition and said that there need be no fear that Judge Lynch would adjudicate on the case. The Governor was very loath to say anything about what be intended to do in regard to releasing tbe prisoner and sending him back to South Carolina. He admitted tbat this was the course that would likely be Pursued, but be had no idea what bo wouldjdo, t is very likely that the papers will be made out at Harrisburg to-morrow, as tbe Governor left for borne this evening. Tbe prisoner will then be sent back to the Stato from which he escaped to be tried for his crime. EXECUTIVE TELEGRAMS SENT. A special telegram to TnE Dispatch from Sonth Carolina gives the following verbatim version of tbe telegraphic corre spondence between Governors Beaver, of Pennsylvania, and Richardson, of South Carolina. True to his promise, Governor Beaver wired: Hon. J. P. Richardson, Colombia. S. C : Colored and other' citizens are fearful of violence to Yeldell. Will you kindly send thoroughly Bafe men to meet party at Augusta and afford safe conduct? Prisoner will leave Pittsburg Thursday morning if response is favorable. James a. Beaver. Governor Richardson disliked this condi tional acquiescence on the part of Governor Beaver, and thought that tbe latter was adding a new version to the laws on extra dition. He sent the following reply: Hon. James A. Beaver. Your telegram received. I prefer that the prisoner should be brought to Columbia, and so ordered agents. You can rest assured of the prisoner's safety. There is as little danger of violence in South Carolina as in any of her sister States. North or South, and she asks at their hands only what she always readily grants to them a stric t and honest compliance with the Constitution and laws of tbe Union. Signed J. P. Richardson. It is understood that it is Governor Rich ardson's intention to have Yeldell brought to Columbia for imprisonment pending trial. The fear tbat Yeldell will meet with violence here is groundless. He will be u safe asif surrounded by a cordon of .Phila delphia lawyers. Court convenes in Edge field county next Monday, and Yeldell, will probably have an early trial. There h no trace of the 1884 excitement there at present. . ) LOCAL ITEMS, LIMITED, Incidents of a Day In Two Cities Condensed for Ready Reading.

The' Wilf Not Believe the Cokemen Mean to Go on a Strike. POSITIVE PREDICTIONS ARE MADE. Walton's Miners at West Elizabeth Again Want More Wages. LARGEST CAST IRON GAS MAIN IS LAID The coke operators in this city are unani mous in the opinion that there will not be a strike among the coalmen in the coke region, but even if any trouble should happen they do not think it will amount to much. Colonel J. M. Schoonmaker not being at his office, one of his bookkeepers was asked for the latest from Connellsville. He re plied that they had paid their men on Tues day, and everything teemed to be qniet and harmonious. Their men work on a scale which they accepted about a year ago, and they do not anticipate any trouble. A gentleman connected with TV. H. Brown & Co., who arrived in this city from Everson yesterday morning, said in refer ence to tbe situation: "Of course we are only small people and em ploy but 300 men. Our men are all at work and we do not fear any trouble. So far as I was able to judge from existing circumstances at Everson, I think that the Knights ot Labor are RESPONSIBLE TOR THIS TROUBLE. The fact of the matter is, that the coke workers in the region are divided among the Knights of Labor and the Progressive Union. The latter are in the majority, and when they presented a scale last year the manufacturers accepted it. Tbe Knights of Labor, however, presented a different scale and it annears to .mo, and in fact I have learned that much at everson, mat tne iimgnts or Labor nave gotten up a new scale and they want that ac cepted by tho operators. However, when I was up there to-day, everything seemed to be quiet.'' Mr. McTighe, of McClure & Co., posi tively stated that there was no trouble in tbe region at all, and that all would he as quiet to-day as anv other day. H. C. Frick, being away from home, nothing could be learned at his office. Mr. J. W. Moore, of the Moore Coke. Company, in a conversation with a reporter, said: I do not believe that there will be a strike among the coke men. The men will be too wise to attempt making any trouble now. Tbe condition of the coke business does not war rant it, tbe price of tbe product is too low, and as for their expectation to have the operators accept the scale they formulated at Scottdale a few days ago, making the basis a dollar. Is concerned, such a thing Is simply absurd. There is not a single operator who will listen to such a demand. If tronble should break ont among the men. It will have the result of prompting the operators to form another syn dicate, and in that case the men would cot be able to gain a point no matter what they would do. STRIKE ALLEGED TO BE OK. In spite of the assurances from the opera tors that there would not be a strike among the coke operators, it was reported from Scottdale yesterday that the men of Wiley & Stauffer, at Everson, went out. The la borers at tbe H. C. Prick Coke Company also quit work for an advance in wages. Tbe general committees ot strikers will meet at New Haven to-day and a mass meeting of cokemen will be held to-day at Connells ville. Tbe following telegram from Scottdale was received last night, clearly indicating that the men are in earnest about the strike: This. In all probability, will be the last day's work for the miners and cokers in the Connells ville region for some time to come. To-morrow morning between 12,000 and 13.000 men will lay down their tools and unite in a demand for better wages. Tbe reports received here from all over the region Indicate that this will be the most general strike tbat has ever occurred here. The statements ol some of the operators that the strike only existed in tbe minds of L the reporters will receive a very decided denial to-morrow morning, some or tne operators are having their ovens charged as usual to-day, under the belief tbat there will be no strike or that the men will remain at work long enough to draw their coke. This, the men say. they will not do, as all the operators have bad suffi cient notice, and if their coke is destroyed it will be their own fault. A POSITIVE OPmiOJT GIVEN-. In regard to the wage difficulty in this re gion tbe Scottdale Independent, the official organ of sub-division No. 4, Knights of Jabor, wiljl say to-morrow: The die Is cut. Through tbelr representatives tbemajorlty of themlners and mine laborers in the Connellsville region, irrespective ofonranlza tlon, hare Issued an order for the cessation oi worK to-day. Tbe two last conventions bare dif fered materially from any that bave been beld in this re?lon,slnce the bis strike three years ago, when the men worked together for their common interests. They have again met on tbe same level and mutually agreed to make tbelr demand, not as an organization, but as men who believed they were entitled to the courtesy of conferring with, j tbelr employers on the subject of an advance in wages and the privilege of ceasing work when such a conference was not granted. Tbe indifference manifested by the operators seems to rise from the belief that the strike has been brought about by the organization having the majority of members in tbe region, and that the difference ot opinion whlcb bas pre sented the men from uniting, as heretofore, still exists, but the contrary is tbe fact, as tbe unor ganized men are now the most clamorous for an advance, and if they throw down their tools to- dav, as they bave pledged themselves to do, they will be supported by the innorted bv the orr: morally and financially. There 1: morally and nnanclall v. There no reason whr lonea dt ine organization, notn D the nven shonld mot win if they stand united. The k conditions are favorable to such a result, and it I remains with them alone to determine. WALTOX'S MINERS OUT. Tiber Become Tired at Worklns, for 2 1-4 Cents, nnd Tbey Want More Wages. . The miners of Jos. "Walton & Co. at tbe est Elizabeth mines laid down their tools stcrday morning and went on a strike for advance in wages. They have only been work a little over a week at 1 cents per shel. and the fact that thev now struck again is rather significant. 'All the Monongahcla river miners re fused to go to work about two months ago unless the operators would pay them at the rite of 3 cents per bushel, the price agreed upon at the convention held last February. For a long time the miners were idle, but at last tbe miners in the different pools sthrted work, some of tbem for i cents, ouhers for "4 cents, and tbe miners in the lower pools even for 2)4, and 2 cents per bushel. The employes of Walton & Co. agreed to come back and work for 2 cents. The firm accepted the vroposition, and since then they nave all been at work until yes terday morning, when tbey quit again and aiked for an advance. The hrm refused to aqquiesce in their demand. (Captain Buntin, of Walton & Co., was asked yesterday aiternoon whether it was trbe that the men had left their work again. Hje said: Yes, tbe men have gone out again, and to tell you the truth we do not care whether they resume again or not. We were Indifferent as to thedr going to work when tbey came to us witjh the proposition of working for 2J cents, buti we gave in to them to please the men. 1 do not think that tbe miners have treated us fairly by leaving tbe mines again just after tnev naa Deen stanea, out uiey nave uui priTl lege and we don't care. A lother river coal operator remarked vest srday that there would be a conference heli - shortly with the miners, for the pur pose ot settling upon a price that would give them a chance to compete with opera tors 101 oiuer coai uisiricia, Wltmerdlng- Contracts Awarded.

The Equitable Natnral Gas Company yesterday finished their large main from Murraysville to this city, and to-day they will turn on the gas to supply manufactories on the Allegheny river. The Equitable Company is tbe corporation which was started early last spring by a number of the manufacturers along the Allegheny river, who believed that the Philadelphia Com pany was over-charging them. Theybought a large tract of gas territory in tbe Korthern Murraysville field, and "now own 4,000 acres of gas land. They have already five wells in active operation, and a number of others are being drilled. Tbe new pipe line of the company is the largest castiron pipe line ever laid in this country. It is 20 miles long, and the ma terial used for it weighs 18,000 tons. It runs from the Northern Murraysville field along the Allegheny river as far as Tenth street.

The Wayne Iron and Steel Company and the Carbon Iron Company will obtain their first supply ot fuel from the new line this morning, andother manufacturers will fall in line as soon as their present contracts with the Philadelphia and other companies expire. Whether the company will supply private consumers has not been definitely decided, but that question is probably going to he brought up at the next meeting of tbe Board of Directors.

A BAD1CAL CHANGE. Coal Operators Abandon tbe River and Turn to tbe Rail. The river coal operators are now making preparations to dispose of their coal by shipping their products over the railroad.

A Natural Gas Fine In Wllklnsbnrz Causes Two Homes to Barn Down. About 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon a two-story irame house and storeroom be longing to Lease Brothers, and a two-story frame house th'at was almost completed, owned by John Davis, were burned to the ground at Wilkinsburg. The houses were located just across the track from the Penn sylvania Railroad station at tbe corner of Rebecca and Hays streets, and were only partially insured. The fire originated from the stovepipe of a natnral gas stove in Lease Brothers' gro cery store becoming red hot and setting the woodwork in the ceiling afire. Tbe flames were not discovered nntil they had gotten pretty good headway, and spread very rapid ly when they reached the combustible stock in the store. A large crowd of the neighbors rapidly collected, and a considerable amount of household furniture was carried to the street. The people in tbe adjoining houses became frightened, and moved their house hold effects. Then half a dozen bucket brigades were formed, and water was pumped out of the wells in the vicinity and passed to the burning bouses in buckets and tubs. , These had very little effect on the fire, which burned until nothing combusti ble was within reach. Several adjoining houses were badly scorched. THE BANDALIj CLUB PETE. Preparations tor the Annnal Summer Event Favorably Procreating.

When the society was first formed its gronnd was worth about 200 an acre, and the cottages, together with all build ings belonging to the association, did not amount to more than 34,000 or $5,000. The value of tbe Chautauqua grounds at present was about SSO0.00O. and there were yet unsold about 880,000 worth of lots valued at from 1250 to S5C0 each.

A Penn Avenne Tailor Store Entered and 8900 Worth of Goods Removed Coder the Officers' Nones, So te Speak. On Wednesday morning between mid night and 6 o'clock, an extraordinary rob bery was committed on Penn avenue. The clothing store of Adam Paul!, 2082 on the avenue, was entered and over $900 worth of goods were removed. When Mr. Paull came down at 6 A. M. ha found tbe back window open and the goods missing. Intormation was conveved to the police, and a thorough examination ot the premises was the result. A small yard common to five honses is at the back, and it was from this yard that the burglars effected an entry. On tbe first window shutter ground floor were several small marks, as though some instrument had beea thrust underneath, to raise ud the shutter. The catch fastening the shutter was broken across, Mr. Paull stated that tbe robbers must have been connoisseurs in clothing, as they carefully sifted tbe valuable articles from those of interior work, ana took away nothing but the really costly clothes. la one case, where some second rate clothes had been piled ou top of a few first-rate pants, the clothes were carefully removed and the. pants abstracted. The police complain that Mr. Paull has been very careless in locking up bis store. About two weeks ago the back' window was left open all night, and whea the officer on duty rang up Mr. Paull and warned him of the danger be got very angry. Two policemen meet every quarter of an hour at the very corner on which the rob bery must have been committed. It seems singular, under these circumstances, that so large an amount of clothes could have beea removed without attracting attention. A wagon would be necessary to carry away $900 worth of this class of goods, and how a wagon could have driven past without being; seen passes conjecture. Accused of Stealing; Two males. W. E.
