A 70-Mile Natural Gas Pipe
Contract Worth $500,000
SIGNIFICANTLY AWARDED.
Pittsburg, With Her Wrought Iron,
Knocks Out the South.
OIL AND EATUBAL GAS TOO SUBTLE
To be Trusted in the Terj Best of CasVlron
From Cheap Pig.
BIG TICTOSI FOLLOWS A CRUCIAL TEST
The supremacy of Pittsburg iron in the
markets of the country has been once more
conclusively demonstrated. Contracts for
upward of 70 miles of large pipe for
mains for the Columbus (O.) Natural Gas
Company, have jnst been awarded to
Northern concerns after a fierce competition
with two of the largest pipe manufacturers
south of the Ohio river; a Pittsburg concern
as usual, the American Tube and Iron
Company, securing the bulk of the order.
The significance of this victory for the
Northern factories is not so much sectional
n in the fact that after rigid investigation
and tests by the Columbns people, the pref
erence was given to wrought-iron pipe over
cast-iron. The manufacturers of cast-iron
pipe, notably Dennis Long & Co., of Louis
ville, and the Addyston Pipe Foundry Com
pany, of Newport, Ky., made a strong fight
for their products, and with good prospects
at one time that they would win the day;
tut the wrought-iron people asked that com
parative tests be made, a request which was
granted, and resulted in a decision in favor
of their manufactures.
HOW IT STBIKES HOME.
Pittsburg makes no cast-iron pipe. The
introduction would be a blow to one of the
city's principal industries. This city now
furnishes the great bulk of the wrought-iron
pine used in the country, which means that
it equips all pipe lines, whether for oil or
gas. Had the cast-iron people, therefore,
secured the Columbus contracts, it would
have given them a foothold that they
lave never yet been able to secure, and
proven an entering wedge for supplanting
the wrought-iron product throughout the oil
. and gas fields. The result, however, is re
garded by pipe men here as settling the
question now and forever.
Another feature of the matter worthy of
note is the fact that had the cast iron pipe
been selected, a serious blow would have
been struck at the Pittsburg pig iron inter
est. No Pittsburg pig enters into the manu
facture of cast iron pipe, cheap Southern
pig iron being used exclusively, which
answers admirably for certain grades of iron
but the pipe product of which will not
etand the test when put under high pressure.
Iron men generally concede that the great
activity in the iron trade at present is due
almost wholly to
THE T7NFBECEDENTZD DEUAKD
for wrought iron pipe; hence the introduc
tion of cast iron pipe for use as oil or gas
mains would prove a blow to that interest
from wbich it would suffer severely, and
Pittsburg, being the center ot the interest,
would suffer most of aU. Having either
their works or their principal offices here,
are seven of the principal pipe manufac
tories of the country, as follows: The Ameri
can Tube and Iron Works Company, the
National Tube Works Company, the Penn
sylvania Tube Works Company, the Oil
City Tube Works and Boiler Company, the
Pittsburg Tube Works Company, the Du
quesne Tube Works Company and the Con
tinental Tube Works Company.
A glance at the above list will indicate,
better than anything else, the immense sig
nificance of the Columbus award. Here are
seven concerns, employing thousands of
men, consuming thousands of tons of pig
metal produced by the furnaces of this
region and turning out millions of dollars'
.worth of pipe annually, whose production
would be materially curtailed were -the
cheap cast-iron pipe to obtain a foothold in
the regions where pipe-lines are necessary.
The value of the Columbus contract in
dollars and cents is not so much a matter of
moment, in view of the competition noted
above, although it will approximate $500,
000, the significance of the award being, as
set forth, in the establishment of the superi
ority of wrought-iron pipe over cast-iron.
W0EKIKG HIS MIKES.
Captain Brown Will Winter Some of Ills
Uorses Near Brownsville.
Captain Sam Brown went to New York
last night with the' intention of returning
with ten of his fast horses. He proposes to
keep them on his farm near Brownsville
this winter. His trainer Bodgers wrote to
him that some of the horses were used up
and needed rest. The Captain did not
know which horses he would bring back
until he learned their conditions.
He is working three ot his mines in the
second pool and one in the fourth. The
Captain says it is much cheaper to fill his
empties with coal and pump the water in
the fall than to spend from $C0 to $70 calk
ing the boats dried out by the sun.
THE CE0WDED IIOSPITaL.
A Walk Through the Ward nt Night Testi
fies of the West Fenn.
Last night a Dispatch reporter accom
panied Superintendent Cowan, of the West
Penn Hospital, through the medical wards.
It can be safely said the crowding in all the
"wards is a menace to the health of the in
stitution. Twelve cots extra are pnt into
one ward, which make it inconvenient to
pass through, and the landings and passages
at either side have cots jammed together.
The wards, owing to the overplus of pa
tients, have a close, suffocating atmosphere,
though everv precaution is taken to have
them properly ventilated. Last night there
were about 60 patients in excess of what the
hospital has room for.
THE CAKNEGIK CAP-STONE.
It Was Set Ycslcrdny, and the Interior Will
Be Harried Up.
The cap-stone of the tower of the Carnegie
library building in Allegheny was finally
set in its proper place last evening, com
pleting the work on the exterior of the
structure. The work of finishing the inte
rior will now be rnshed.
Mr. Flaherty Keaenta Imputations.
John Flaherty, of the Fifteenth ward,
'says that charges against him of robbery of
the person originated in the fact that he
vanquished a man in a fight, and that by
way of revenge the man charged him with
stealing $2. When, however, the case came
up beforefelderman Porter, no prosecutor
appeared.
To Work Nla-lit and Dny.
Last night an electric light plant was put
tip at the Exposition building, and the
work will now be prosecuted night and day.

MOST KNOW ALL THE FACTS.
The Treasury Department Unwilling to Act
on lbs Jennnelte Cases What Attorney
Lyon Baa to Say.
The following significant telegram was
received from Washington last evening:
The Acting Secretary of the Treasury Is un
willing to act in the matter of the 25 English
glassblowers at Jeannette, Pa., on the Informa
tion now In his possession. District Attorney
Lyon, of Fittsbnxg, reported to the depart
ment that In bis opinion these men came to
this country under contract and In violation of
the alien contract labor law.
Acting Secretary Batchellor has informed
Mr. Lyon that, while his ODinion may be the
correct one. the department will be better pre
pared to act in the matter when It has posses
sion of more of the facts upon which it is
based, the name of the person or persons, asso
ciation or organization by whom the contract
was made being regarded as essential to the
futuretreaiment of the case.
United States District Attorney Lyon
went to Atlantic City last evening to see his
family, and Attorney W. J. Brennen left
for New"York. It is quite evident that
Mr. Lyon has not yet received the com
munication from Acting Secretary Batch
ellor. When asked: about the Jeannette
blowers before leaving, he stated that he
had received word from the Treasury De
partment to the effect that his recommenda
tions in the case had been received, and
would be referred to Secretary Windom
when he returned. He said there was noth
ing in the letter to indicate what the de
partment would do, and if Acting Secretary
Batchellor had asked for tHe facts in the
case he did not say anything about it
Mr. Lyon said he was convinced the blow
ers had been brought over under an implied
contract, and he intimated that the Secre
tary would have no other course to pursue
than to send them back. It is the duty, he
said, of the Secretary to do so, if a clear
case has been made out.
Mr. Brennen stated that his work was fin
ished until the Secretary of the Treasury
rendered his opinion, and they were waiting
for him to act. He claimed he was going to
Newburg and not Washington on private
business.

A Bis; OH Well Which Indicates the Exist'
ence of a New OH Belt Other Neighbor
Ins; Oil Ventures.
The resemblance of the topography of
Venango county and other places where
petroleum has been largely struck, to land
in the vicinity of Montour Bun prepares
the oil experts for the event of Thursday, the
striking of the "gusher" of sizable propor
tions on the Henry Knopf farm, near Mon
tour Bun, as mentioned yesterday. The
well was put down by William Harvey
Swing and J. K. Darrington. The drillers
came upon the oil unexpectedly at a depth
of 1,700 feet, and the derrick was deluged
with grease in a couple of minutes.
There is great 'excitement in Bobinson
and Moon townships over the discovery,and
land owners are elevating prices to the
fancy figures of the halcyon oil days, for it
is now believed that an oil belt of consider
able extent underlies a large section of the
land in the two townships.
A friend of Mr. Ewing's gives some in:
teresting gossip in reference to the present
strike. Mr. Ewing came out of the great
oil era with over half a million; but fortune
does not always smile. The big strike of
Thursday was opportune, and it is believed
that the wildcatting fever, so lone dormant.
will break out as a consequence of the recent
strike.
The Bridgewater Natural Gas Co.npany
report striking two wells in its Turkey
creek territory in West Virginia. One of
the wells showed 75 barrels, but the other
was not tested.
The Osborne Oil Company, recently or
ganized with John B. Harbison as Presi
dent, has acquired a large tract of land near
Osborne station, and has a well nearly
down.

Monday evening be announced to-morrow

Marshall are expected to be present and

The following letter, received from H. J.

One of Detective Bander's Employes Ex
plains the Situation.
F. B. Stoner, the only member of the
Bander Detective Agency who has procured
bail, was at the Nineteenth ward station
house last evening and gave his account of
his 'relations with Bander. He said the
serving of three subpeenas upon witnesses in
an illegal liquor selling case was the extent
of his actual work for Bander, and that he
had had his ambition fired by the possibility
of becoming a miniature Inspector Byrnes,
but when he found no pay forthcoming he
drew out. He told a most amusing story of
the manner in which Bander "struck" him
for money, in sums ranging from a quarter
up to several dollars. Three days before he
left Bauder's service the latter indnced him
to pay 54 for a livery rig and then borrowed
$2 on top of it
"I guess Bauder hypnotised me," i
Stoner's explanation of the affair. He says
he will have no trouble in proving his non
connection with the charges.

The Agent of the Chicago, St. Faul &
Kansas Ajked to Quit. .
HE WILL HATE HIS INNING LATER,
When He Sees the President, Through
Whom He Was Appointed. ,
OTHER CHARGES LIABLE TO FOLLOW
The railroad men of this city, particular
ly the local agents of roads westbf Chicago
are agitated over a matter which threatens
to lose two or three of the most prominent
freight agents' heads. Already one has
been requested to resign,and a successor ap
pointed. It Urumored that two others will
follow him, on account of their connection
with the alleged conspiracy to have him re
moved. About a year ago E. S. Fishback, Trav
eling Passenger Agent of the Chicago, St.
Paul and Kansas City Bail road at In
dianapolis, was appointed General Agent of
the same company in this city. Mr. Fish
back succeeded Colonel W. T.. Block, who
was formerly general agent in this city, but
severed his connection with the company
and went West Mr. Fisbback at once be
came very popular and made many friends
with freight shippers of this city. "Under
his management the tonnage of the road
greatly increased, and many of .the older
Western lines lost business in consequence.
THE INTERNA! TROUBLES.
In the same office with Mr. "Fishback is
Walter Passavant, Contracting Freight
Agent, or merely a clerk under the Gen
eral Agent Several months ago Mr. Fish
back incidentally heard that his clerk had
preferred charges against him for failing to
conduct the office as economically as it
might have been. It was supposed by Mr.
Fishback these charges were made for the
sole purpose of working him out of his
position. Upon one occasion Mr. Passavant
was absent three or fonr days, and, when
asked by his superior where he was, said he
Bad been in Chicago,. Mr. Fishback was
led to believe that 'twice his contracting
agent had personally seen P. C. Stoerr, thi
General Agent, and urged the removal of
the Pittsburg agent
In this matter, Mr. Fishback end his
friends claim, the contracting freight agent
was backed up by his brother, Harry Par
savant, Pittsburg agent of the Union Pa
cific When Mr. Fishbtck heard of his
clerk's opposition he discharged him. The
latter then, it is asserted, wrote a note to
Mr. Stoerr stating what had been done, and
the General Agent answered that he could
remain in his position, notwithstanding the
orders from Mr. Fishback to the contrary.
This was about two weeks ago. A letter
was received by Mr. Passavant on Wednes
day, saying J. L. Winnctt traveling pas
senger agent ot the road at Chicago, had
been appointed to succeed Mr. Fishback,
and Mr. Passavant was ordered to report to
the new general agent Mr. Fishback also
got a letter in which his resignation was
requested, to take effect on the 15th inst.
It was expected, however, that Mr. Passa
vant would be appointed to succeed Mr.
Fishback.
going up higher.
Now comes another interesting feature of
the case. Harry Passavant, of the Union
Pacific, who, it is claimed, has been backing
his brother, has been reported for his con
nection with the affair to W. E. Ten Broeck,
the General Eastern Agent of the company,
at New York. When Mr. Ten Broeck went
to the Union Pacific, it is reported, La had
some trouble with Mr. Passavant, and there
has been considerable feeling between them
since. An effort is to be made, it is said,
to try and work Harry Paasavant'out also.
Mr. Fishback and Mr. Ten Broeck are per
sonal friends, and the influence of Pittsburg
agents and shippers aids them. Walter
Passavant will also come in for considerable
attention from the Pittsburg people. '
In addition to writing letters protesting
against the removal of Mr. Fishback, some
of the largest shippers in the city say they
will carry the matter to the. executive offi
cials. They allege, if he is displaced, they
will give all their Western freight to other
competing lines. This might put a differ
ent aspect on the case, for it is practically a
boycott
MR. FISHBACK SFBAK3.
When Mr. Fishback was asked yesterday
if it was true he intended to leave the road,
he replied:
Yes, I go on the 15th; but my salary will bo
paid until the first of the month. I don't know
who my successor will be. I was "done up" by
an alleged friend: bat it may be possible that I
will stay for a while longer. 1 was sent here
through the influence of the President of the
road.and when he heard I was to be removed.he
telegraphed me to meet him iu St. Faul on the
20th. Things may be changed slightly then;
bnt I hardly think I would remain anyhow.
The general freight agent could make it decid
edly unpleasant for me In many ways, bnt I am
not going out ot tbeailroad business by any
means. I was surprised to know that a number
of prominent Pittsburg shippers had written
to Chicago, protesting against my removal.
I was appointed by a traffic manager who did
not agree with the new General Manager, and
he has since resigned. Within the last 'two
months 13 of his appointees have been removed
and I am the last to go.
AMICABLY SETTLED.

formally Declared Ofl".
There was a conference yesterday between
the Pittsburg and Western Bailroad attor
neys and the Bloomfield and Millvale
Traction Company. No definite arrange
ment has been arrived at between the two,
but it is expected that in two weeks the
traction company will be allowed to proceed
with its work at the Millvale crossing.
Lyon & Sboomaker state that no lurther
trouble will take place. "We have post
poned our work for two weeks," they say,
"to allow the railroad 'authorities to make
some special arrangements with regard to
the crossing."

Between 3 and 4 o'clock yesterday after
noon, while a number of men were working
on a platform on Carson street the platform
gave way and one of the workmen, named
Martin Smith, was caught between the
boards and pinioned to the wall. The
handle of a large crane penetrated his
stomach, inflicting a terrible wound. Ho
died 20 minutes after being taken home.
Four men were working under the platform
when it gave way, but all managed to es
cape. An Insane Man Temporarily Oat.
Budolph Levy, a demented mau, who was
detained in St. Francis Hospital, Forty
fourth street, escaped last night, but was re

without an attendant. He took advantage
of this privilege, and, with the aid of a fire
escape, managed to scale the walls.

TDEHIHG ON HARRISON.
A Friend of the President, Who Helped
Elect Him, Say lie's Too Slow No Vie
for Inter-State Commerce Wear.
Now comes B. O. ICerens, of St Louis, an
Intimate friend of President Harrison, and
who was instrumental in having him elected,
and says the President has been too slow in
"turning the rascals out" Mr. Kerens was
not born to mince matters. He was going
to New York in a special car with Vice
President and General Manager L. H. Mor
rill, of the 'Frisco line, to attend a railroad
meeting. At the depot be met Hon. B. F.
Jones, bound for Cresson to spend Sunday.
The ex-Chairman recently visited Bar Har
bor, whore Secretary Blame is rusticating,
but he declined to talk when questioned
about his trip.
"I am snre he is loaded to the muzzle
with good stuff," remarked Mr. Kerens, in
his quaint, Irish fashion, "if yon can only
get it out of him." Then he continued:
Harrison is too slor for any earthly good in
making the Democrats move on. The Collector
or the Port Is the only man In St. Louis who
has been turned ont of office since the new ad
ministration started in. About the same
thlnr is trne In Pittsbnrc and other cities.
Now I would like to know if keeping these
Democrats In office gains any votes for the Re
publican party. I am sure that civil serv
ice reform Is only Intended to apply to
servants and clerks, and they should be re
tained; bnt the leading positions should be
filled with the faithful at once. The workers
and those who blow the horns in the cam
paigns should be repaid for their hard work.
Mr. Kerens is heavily interested in the
St Louis, Arkansas and Texas and the
West Virginia Central Bailroads, and he
added:
The inter-State law Is fast ruining the rail
road business of the country, ft is all right for
the big trunk lines; but the smaller lines can
not exist mucn longer unless the law Is modi
fled to permit pooling. The great shrinkage of
the last year in Western railroad securities
conclusively proves this. All Western roads
have suffered, notably the Bock Island and
Chicago, Burlington and Qulncy. In short,
hardly any of then, made showings. The
smaller roads are losing money, and pooling is
the only thing that will stop it
A MONTH'S DESTE0IED FOOD.

story, there is no foundation for the charge.
The accused conductors aver that the grip
man's action is rendered all the more un
pardonable by the fact that not long ago,
when he had met with an accident, they
contributed to his support No action has

ested firms are to provide a fund of $3,000,
000, 10 per cent $300,000 to be paid into
the general fund, and plants as they stand
to represent 90 per cent of the total stock.
Each manufacturer is to have stock issued
to him in proportion to the value of his
plant, and $300,000 added to the same
amount of manufactured stock on hand will
give a working capital of $600,000. This
lund is to be nsed for current expenses and
a certain amount retained as a reserve fund.
Each firm will be represented in the board
of directors to the extent of its stock. The
corporation is expected to be in shipshape
for operation by January 1, 1890. Finally
it has been said the move is made with the
object of defeating the designs of an English
syndicate.
WHEAT AND CHAIT MIXED.
From interviews with people interested it
will be seen that there is about the usual
mixture of truth and error in the report, but
several people smiled when the English syn
dicate indeed was mentioned. The truth
seems to be that a trust is to be formed, and
the error, that it is to defeat an English
syndicate. ,
John Bryce, of Bryce, Higbee & Co..
smiled when asked for information, and
that was pretty nearly the extent of his
answer, though he said he had heard some
thing of such proposition a week or two ago
when price scales were being arranged.
James Bryce, of Bryce Bros., said that in
what had been reported there was some fact
and considerable imagination. So far, how
ever, Mr. Bryce aiid the matter had only
been talked over. He said some action of
the kind had become a necessity, and that it
was something he did not altogether like in
its multifarious aspects, as the public did
not take blndly to trusts, and the arrange
ment would necessarily possess more or less
the features of one. Mr. Bryce stated that
the trouble grew out of so many weak firms 1
engaging in the business. In order to get
trade they were obliged to cut prices until
there was no money left in the trade. The
proposition
LOOKED MEEKLY TO PBOTECTION
of an interest, protection that had become a
necessity. Mr. Bryce said were the organi
zation perfected it would include not only
Pennsylvania, but West Virginia and
Ohio. The life of the business depends
upon combination at present.
Mr. William H. Alldred, of the Wind
sor Glass Company, seemed inclined to
scout the idea ot any combination, thongh
he said he had heard it talked of. He in
timated that there might be something in
it after the nature of the brewing syndicate
so much talked of. He agreed with Mr.
Bryce that the staple tableware factories
had been injured by the large number of
weak firms that had been formed. As a
rule, the men forming these small compa
nies lack business experience, and effect
little more than the demoralization of trade.
Jenkin Jones, of Jones, Cavitt & Co.,
stated that he had been approached so fre
quently yesterday by reporters and others
on the subject that he thought it must be in
the air. Some had wanted to know whether
the combination could succeed with Atter
bury, tho Bochester Tumbler Company and
some others left out, but he had uniformly re
fused to be quoted for publication. Mr.
Jones talked quite freeljr, but evidently
with intent not to say anything. He treated
the matter jocularly, and used language of
the thought-concealing character.
DirFICDXTIES SUGGESTED.
The following named tableware firms
know nothing ot the syndicate: The Bipley
Ulass .Mannlacturing uompany, me .nung
Glass Company. The Phconix Company,
when a Dispatch reporter queried the
Treasurer on the subject, said, "I have never
heard of the rumor to form a syndicate; but
$3,000,000 would not begin to control it.
The glass interest, that is to say our special
line, could not be controljedby a syndicate."
He then took the repofter back, and said:
"You see the Immense variety we have In
this warehouse. Some of these patterns will
never be-dupllcated. We are making changes
every week, so you see how ineffectual It would
be to try to make uniform prices. The syndi
cate would have to name a price for eVery
article, and to do that, with a constant change
in variety going on every week, it would re-
Sulre an army of men to name price alone,
o, I don't think anything will come of it.
Five years ago a syndicate tried to control the
opal glass, but it conld not work it. How much
more impossible It will be to control so Intricate
a business as ours. Then, Again, it requires so
little capital to start a glasshonse. Companies
form with $5,000 to 13,000 capital, and if there
were a syndicate it wouldconstantly ha veto be
buying up these small concerns, and this would
eat up an enormous capital.
ME. BOGQS BELIEVES IT.
A. W. Boggs, of the Bellaire Goblet
Company, said last night it was true that
the tableware men were attempting to form
a trust, bnt that the scheme, had not vet
been consummated. The plan has been dis
cussed for some time, and is liable to be
completed in the near fnture. Habelieved
the manufacturers in Ohio, WesFVirginia
and Pennsylvania can easily be indnced to
join, and if the Bochester Tumbler Company
p-rsists in refusing they will be glad after
30 days to join the combination.
Insteadof $3,000,000 he thinks the various
plants will aggregate $7,000,000. Some
thing of the kind, he said, would have to
be done to improve the trade. He could
not say how many of the tableware firms
would join the trust.
He thought it was time to stop selling
glassware that cost $2 30 to make for $1 60.
The other day the agent of the Thompson
Glass Company took an order 100 half-pint
tumblers at 22 cents, when all glass men
know, he said, that they cannot be made
for less than 27 and 28 cents.

A QUESTION OP PEICE.
Any Pittsburg Brewery May be Purchased
If Enough U Offered Keported Sales
Specifically Denied.
The rumors and counter-rumors that have
been so rife here of late concerning the sale
of local breweries to syndicates, foreign and
otherwise, have had one result, if no other
they have disclosed the fact that these estab
lishments are all in the market and can be
bought if enongh be offered. Several of the
brewers were visited yesterday by a reporter
for this paper and questioned in the prem
ises, their answers being appended:
Mr. Frauenheim. of Frauenheim & Vil
sack, said: "An offer has been made for our
plant, and we still have it under advise
ment What it is I "am not at liberty to
state. I have no doubt, however, that we
shall sell if we can get the price we want.
Eberhardt & Ober, of Allegneny.mnd the
Keystone Brewing Company have already
sold out, I think, but our plantstill belongs
to ourselves. Of course, it we do sell we
shall retain an interest in the business and
manage it, for the other people know very
little about that"
This view of the case was shared by the
Wainwrights.
Mr. Ober denied, though equivocally, that
the Eberhardt & Ober Brewing Company's
plant had been sold. He did not seem to be
much surprised, however, when told
of the statement made bv Mr.
Frauenheim, and said:" Of " course
we will sell if we get our figure;
wouldn't you? We are always on the look
out for snans. We valne our works at over
$1,000,000, and it would take considerably
more than that amount to buy them. I un
derstand that one of the evening papers
says we are already speculating on Fourth
avenue with the money we obtain ed by the
sale of our establishment. Why! I have
been speculating over there, and looking
out for investments for the last ten years,
and I have not been selling breweries all
that time."
V. Lutz, of D. Lutz & Son, denied em
phatically the truth of the rumor that his
firm had sold out, and the son, when seen
later, corroborated the father's statements.
"We have not heard lately from the syn
dicate," said he, "but have received offers
from it We had an offer some time ago,
and would have sold, only the parties
wanted both our plants, while we were only
willing to sell one. That syndicate wants
everything or nothing."

IHCIPIBKT EIOT FIfULLT QUELLED
A suburb of Braddock was the scene of a
serious riot yesterday evening. Constable
P. J. Murphy and several deputies had
gone to the Carrie Furnace, at Keating sta
tion, for the purpose of arresting some of the
strikers who were charged with rioting.
His companions were Constables Sweeney
and J. B. Carney, Deputy Sheriffs J. L
Bichey. Richard Cunningham and Pascoe,
and had warrants for the arrest of Charles
Bichards, colored, Lawrence Abbott, W.
Bush, William Cnneo, Owen Salmon,
James McNally, Andrew Matta, Patrick
Moan, Ben Barber, colored, and Felix Gal
lagher. The deputies had ten of the strikers
peaceably under arrest at Keating, and
walked back to Braddock with them, fol
lowed by some 100 of the onlookers, when a
frantic mob of 1,500 came out, and the offi
cers claim that clubs and stones were freely
handled, and that their
, WEAPONS HAD TO BE USED
in self-defense. Several shots were fired to
intimidate the mob; but, notwithstanding
all efforts, some of the men under arrest
were rescued by friends. Five originally
secured were kept hold of, and three of the
mob were captured. With these the offi
cers reached the railroad station, followed
by a howling crowd; but they managed to
get into a car in safety, and so came back to
the city.
The prisoners were arraigned before Mag
istrate Gripp, in this city. The five men
first arrested gave, the lollowing names:
William Connor, Owen Samson, Lawrence
Abbot, William Bushford and Collin Ed
wards. The three men accused of resisting
officers: James Crawford, Michael Laughlin
and Thomas Laughlin. They claimed they
were
SIMPLY ONLOOKEBS,
and did not resist The bail of each of the
eight prisoners was fixed at $1,000 by Mag
istrate Gripp, in default of which the men
were committed for the preliminary hearing
to-day.
None of the officers was injured in the
melee, although all of them were very
much fatigued by their exertions. During
the confusion which followed the firing of
the shots by the officers, W. D. Edwards, a
fireman at the Edgar Thomson Steel Works,
was seized by one of the deputies. Ed
wards got away after all the buttons on his
clothing had been torn off.
At the Carrie Furnace matters were
generally quiet, except when 40 men,
supposed to be from Beadinc. trot off the
cars at City Farm station and walked up
the track. The strikers spied them and
alter a brief talk the new men retraced
their steps. It is said that No. 1 Fnrnace
has not been banked, and that unless work
men are speedily secured the cast will chill,
necessitating the blasting out of the furnace
at a large expense.
Constable Murphy says he expects to-day
to land the en who escaped. He has war
rants for about 25 more ot the men charged
with riot, and will enter informations
against a lot of the men who participated in
the rescue.
Marvelous.
It is wonderful the demand for the new
case Estey organs. The new Estey is so
well known and their goods In such general
use that the makers themselves are surprised
at the way they are selling. Colonel Estey,
when here a few days ago, said their facto
ries were taxed to their utmost Much might
be said of them: Elegant cases, tasteful, sub
stantial, well built, unique, the reeds made
of silver brass of secret mixture found only
in the Estey organs; of the bellows with best
paneled stock, Bessemer steel springs, extra
coated rubber- cloth, stop action perfect in
its workings, with metallic parts covered
with copper to prevent rusting and soiling.
We might speak of many other things inter
esting and truthful connected with the
manufacture of Estey organs, but proofs of
this kind are not needed to establish the
fact that the Estey organ leads the world.
S. Hamilton's, 91 and 03 Fifth avenue, is
the only place in the city where the cele
brated Decker Bros', Knabe & Fischer pi
anos and the great Estey organs can be pro
cured. Story & Clark, Clough & Warren
and Sterling organs in great variety. Call
in and see and hear them before you pur
chase. Every instrument warranted. Low
prices and easy terms.

Senator Cameron submitted the papers to
President Cleveland and introduced Mrs.
Gay to him. She also had the co-operation
of Solicitor General Jenks and other promi

sentence to three yean. The allowance for
good time shortened Gav's time so that he)
was released on Wednesday last, when ha
