day that "it wouldn't take him a life time
to get even -with some people." Morley was
employed by Natcber to watch Lee.
cause or ins snooTijra.
Some financial difficulty exited between
the men. Lee claimed that Natcher was
indebted to him to the amount ot about $900
on tome notes, and he claims that it was for
the settlement of this claim he called upon
Natcher yesterday. '
Mr. Catcher, on the other hand, claims
that Lee was indebted to him, and said that
a few weeks ago he losned Lee $400 to pay
on a note, hut Lee came back to him saying
he had lost the money and wanted more,
which Natcher refused.
About a week ago Lee went to Catcher's
office in an intoxicated condition, and they
quarreled about the difference between
them. Natcher stepped out on the sidewalk
and called to Officer Morley, who is located
at the 'patrol stable a few doors above, to
come down and arrest Lee. Morley started
down, but before he arrived Lee had de
parted throngh the shop in the rear.
John F. Katcher is a man 40 to 45 years
of age. He came to this city from Carlisle
when a young man, and went into business
at once as a contractor, and has been well
known in that capacity for some 20 years
past. When William Roseberg appealed
iron the decision of the Building Inspector
in the matter of the proceedings to condemn
the building at the corner of "Wood street
and Fifth avenue, Katcher was appointed
one of the viewers.
HE MAY rULL TIIEOUGII.
As he was a man of temperate habits and
possessed of a good constitution it was sup
posed he might be able to pull through. Dr.
Seip seemed to think there was a possibility
also if the patient could be kept quiet. He
has a wife and five children.
J. T. Catcher's home is situated on Ditb
ridge street, off Fifth avenue. It was visited
yesterday afternoon by a Dispatch re
porter. The house is small but very pretty,
and has a cosy look, wrapped in flowering
creepers and clustering vine-leaves from
roof to basement. A neatly cultivated
crass plot lies in lront, and a small crowd
of sympathizing neighbors had gathered
round the entrance-gate when the
reporter armed. On the door-steps were
some of the children of Mr. Natcher, all
weeping bitterly. They were entirely ignor
ant of the true lacts of the case, and cheered
up considerably upon learning that there
was still hope for their father. Mrs.
Natcher had started for town immediately
on receiving a telephone message announc
ing the accident
Mr. Katcher has five children two boys
and three girls. The oldest is Miss Rose
Katcher, aged about 1C; hut quite as full of
sense and determination as n lady of 40.
She was busily engaged in comforting her
brothers and sisters, and trying to conceal
her own feelings as much as possible.
Lee, the shooter, bears a bad reputation.
A dozen years ago he ran Philo Hall, on
Market street. One night a man named
Meyers heated a heavy poker to a white
heat and then run it through an inoffensive
old German, known as "the Unites States
baker." This tragedv stirred upthe owners
of the property to the neccssityof reforming
the place, which was done by tearing down
the building.
A FAMOUS HALL.
In its day the hall had been as famous as
Lalayette, or any other hall in the city, for
the inception of events and measures which
made history.
It was at the hands of Lee, assisted, it is
said, by his father, that George Johnston,
the real estate dealer, received a beating
that came near sending him over the Styx,
but which eventually sent Lee over the Al
legheny, where he wore striped clothing for
some time. Johnston was a lieutenant of1
police in that district, and in the exercise of
his duty was under the necessity of raiding
Philc Hall at frequent intervals. Once
Johnston and his men raided it and captured
147 people, while many more got
away. These raids made Johnston very
unpopular with Lee, and one night the
officer pursued him into a room. Some one
extinguished the gas, and two men clubbed
Johnston almost to death in the dark. Lee
was arrested and sent to the penitentiary,
from which he was pardoned a few months
later, having a political pull.
Most people who have known Lee say he
is a nervous, excitable man and not cal
culated to inspire confidence with his fel
lows,as his quick imperative manner created
an aversion in others to his society. Differ
ent people remarked yesterday that they
had always considered him dangerous and
were not surprised at his fatal deed.
Mrs. Lee is a very estimable lady,a promi
nent member of St. Agnes Catholic Church.
He lived in a fine three-story brick house
on Forbes street. Mrs. Lee has been absent
from home for a week, and Lee, it is said,
has been drinking heavily since his wife
went visiting.
MILKSHAKE TRIUMPHANT.
John A. Martin Wan Diacbnrsed by Alder
man Drinker Lane Nisnt.
John A. Martin, the milk dealer, had a
hearing before Alderman Brinker last even
ing on a charge of engaging in worldly em
ployment on Sunday. E. P. Hcsser, de
tective of the Law and Order Society,
brought the information. Martin wa d'e
fended by General Blakely, while Captain
Wishart "prosecuted.
Evidence was given by "William Young
and Detective Hesser that they saw
milk being served out, but neither
could swear tnat they saw it paid
for. General Blakely in 'defense held that
there was no evidence of selling adduced
against Martin. Furthermore, he pleaded
that as the case had already been adju
dicated in a concurrent courtj it could not
properly be settled by Alderman Brinker.
He also stated that as the Commonwealth
was the real prosecutor in the case, it could
not sue a second time, but must appeal to a
higher court.
The Alderman having been satisfied that
a previous settlement of the case had been
made by Alderman Burns, decided in favor
of Martin, who was discharged. Captain
Wisbart and his fellow upholders of law
and order had left the court before the deci
sion of the Alderman was given, i

Life Insurance From tbo A. O. U. W. for a
Suicide's Fnmlly.
The Grand Lodge of the A. O. TJ. W.
have handed to Max Schamberg, the Austro
Hungarian Consul in this city, papers de
livering 52,000 to the widow and four
children of Lorenz Rohrcr, living in the
town of St. Peters in the Grand Duchy of
Baden. The Consul will send the papers
there to-morrow.
Lorenz Rohrer is familiar to TlIE DIS
PATCH readers who remember back a year.
He worked in Pittsburg, but kept his family
in the little home in Germany because it
wascheaper. In September, 1888, he started
across the ocean to visit his wife and
children and seemed very cheerful and
happy on the ship. When the ship neared
Bremen be suddenly shot himself and was
carried home to his family a corpse.
The sending of the life insurance money
to his family ends the little drama in a very
material way.
THREE JIlLIi ACCIKLNTS.
Men Who Were Injured in Jones & I.nosb
lin's Iron Works.
Three accidents took place yesterday at
the American Iron Works on the Southside.
John McNamara, an oiler in the new mill
department, fell from a ladder on a wheel
belt while oiling some of the machinery.
He was carried along by the belt until he
got to the wheel, where his shirt was torn
and he dropped to the ground. He was
badly bruised and had to be carried to his
home on South Twenty-eighth street.
A red hot mold fell on Joe Thiel, a metal
wheeler in the mold department. He was
badly burned and bruised in the side and
his condition is serious.
Fred Green had a cinder pot fall on his
head in the 12-inch mill, while hoisting a
pot. The cut in his head was a very bad
one and Green had to be carried to his
home.
DEMOCRATIC ISSUES.
Two Sets of Delegates Presented to
the County Faithful.
WM.BRENNEN UP0NTHESITUATI0N
He Maps Out a Hopeful Programme for the
Political Future.
P0S1MASTEE IAEKIN DOESN'T CHIME
Those who take interest in politics of the
Democratic persuasion would feel lonesome
if the primaries of next Saturday were going
to prove a mere formality with no excite
ment to diversify the situation. As a mat
ter of fact there is the usual well-defined
split, and in each of the 119 Election dis
tricts of Allegheny county, two separate sets
of delegates will be up for election, repre
senting the opposing tactions. A nomen
clature that is brand new to this county has
been adopted by each of the factions in
speaking of each other, and as it serves the
purpose of description tolerably well, it
may be as well to mention the fact that
Chairman Brennen and his associates speak
ot their friends, the enemy, as the "Stay-at-homes,"
while the stay-at-homes, who have
Hon. Timothy O'Leary as their putative
head, pleasantly refer to Brennen et al as
the "Seashore Delegation." The lines of
battle being thus formally drawn, all is in
readiness for the band to play on Saturday.
The Democratic primaries are just now
the matter of absorbing interest among the
faithful. The primaries will be held be
tween the hours of 5 and 7 P. M. next Satur
day in the cities, boroughs and townships of
the county. There are three sets of dele
gates upon each faction's slate. Set No. 1
will consist of one delegate from each of
the 419 election districts in the county to
the County Convention to be held next
rr i in . -.r . riA r:tt- tt.ii a
-LUUBUUJ Ub iV Jla JU., Uk Wl JJ u.., w
place in nomination a Judge, Coroner, Dis
trict Attorney and Director of the Poor.
Set Ko. 2 will consist of the same number
ot delegates, to be split into eight Legis
lative District Conventions, for the elec
tion of 22 delegates to the Harrisburg Con
vention of September 4. Set Ko. 3 will
consist of 419 delegates, whose duty it will
be to choose the members of the next Demo
cratic County Committee.
COUNTY CONTENTION GOSSIP.
The County Convention will be called to
order by H. T. Watson, Esq., who has little
or no opposition for the permanent chair
manship. Mr. Brennen said yesterday in
regard to this convention: :'lhere is no
prospect of a nominee against Jndge Col
lier. Ko one desires to accept the nomina
tion. Will we indorse Judge Collier?
Well, it's a little early to say that. It is
possible. It looks as if Harry Beltzhoover,
of the Seventh ward, will have a walkover
for the nomination for Coroner. There will
be no opposition to R. H. Johnston, Esq.,
for the District Attorneyship. He will be
easily elected if a redhot campaign is made
against Archy Rowan, and I guess the
campaign will be one of the bitterest ever
fought in this county. Ko one is an avowed
candidate for Director of the Poor. The
Committee on Revision of the Rules will
meet to-morrow night to formulate its re
port to the convention, and its action may
arouse a breeze. The committee consists of
Barney McKenna, Frank Osburn, John
Huckenstein, J. M. Caldwell, D. J. Boyle,
Dr. T. G. White and myself as chairman.
Our proposition will be to reduce the repre
sentation in future conventions. As it
stands now the system of delegation is cum
bersome We will also advocate reducing
the number of the Countv Committee.
"The First, Second. Third, Fourth and
(Fifth Legislative district conventions will
be held at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The
.Sixth, Seventh and Eighth will be held at
10" o'clock Tuesday morning. Yes, I believe
'that these centralize th interest of the party,
next to the primaries. Ko, I will not say
positively that the city delegates to Harris
burg will be myself, Pat Foley, John Dill
mutb, Michael Dwyer, William Walls and
John Pierce. There are other influences
which may affect the result, but most ot the
above gentlemen hope to be choson, myself
among the number.
FOKNINST E. A. BIQLER.
"Mr. Bigler's candidacy for the State
Treasurership is not favored by us. He has
tried to become an issue in the party by
pushing forward at this time, and we do
not think him an available man. B. K.
Jamison, the Philadelphia banker, is our
choice. He has been outside of all factions,
in reality, and the way he has handled his
own funds should be a guarantee that he
could take good care of the State's money.
I bear that Editor Kerr, of the Bedford
Gazette, is also a candidate. I wonld much
prefer Postmaster Larkin as a candidate to
Mr. Bigler. I don't mind telling you some
of the reason: why Bigler doesn't snit ns.
His course in appointing 110 men on the
Internal Revenue force was disappointing.
Besides that Bigler is a Randall-Curtin
man."
"It seems to be the impression that Bigler
owes his political advancement to Congress
man Scott," ventured the reporter.
"Ko," said Mr. Brennen. "The internal
revenue appointment was given to Congress
man Curtm. Mr. Scott was responsible for
ex-District Attorney Allen, not for Bigler.
Governor Curtin's district included Clear
field county, and he named Bigler as a man
from his own district."
"Will Mr. Scott be at the convention?"
"He has just been elected a delegate and
will be at Harrisburg without fail. This
Bigler talk is a tempest in a teapot. He
will not have the Western counties with
him, and I very much doubt the accuracy
of the reports sent broadcast over the State
in his interest"
P.OSEATE DEMOCRATIC PEOSPECTS.
Mr. Brennen chatted hopefully of future
Democratic intentions in answer to a num
ber of minute questions as to local politic.
He said: "Yes, there is now no doubt of
Judge John 11. Bailey s nomination for the
Mayoralty next year, and if he accepts
there could be a grand battle. The local
Senatorial fight may also prove one of the
liveliest in recent years, although every
body is predicting Mr. William Flinn's
nomination and election just now. But
there are a lot of contingencies. Something
depends onthe postinastership fight. The
Quay men, if beaten on McKean, may form
a hostile camp, and we Democrats could
come into play. William Reardon and
James Gdlden have both run well before,
and the latter made a corking fight against
Kewmyer. There might be a coalition
between the Quay men and the Democrats
which would give Mr. Flinn some trouble.
William is sly though, and he will doubt
less keep up with the procession.
"The Allegheny Senatorial district offer?
a good field for combinations. The fight is
already very bitter over there. Neeb is be
ing opposed tooth and nail by Rutan, with
the Q a ay-Bay ne coalition at his back. Then
Speer is in the fight to stick, with the City
Hall at his back. John Harbison, Esq., is
also out for the stuff, and it makes a lovely
quadruple contest Ko matter who is nom
inated there will be bad blood. There are
lots of independent- voters in the district,
and you can just imagine how things would
be if we succeededn persuading Hon. Mor
rison Foster to enter the field as the Demo
cratic nominee."
THE OTHEB SIDE'S INNINGS.
The Dispatch reporter carried to Post
master Larkin the intelligence of the politi
cal millenium heralded in Mr. W. J. Bren
nen's statement that Mr. Larkin would be
more acceptable to the "SeashoreJDelega
tion" than Mr. Bigler.
"Ko man," said Mr. Larkin, with strong
emphasis, "has a right to assume to 'handle'1
me. I am not a candidate, and if I was a
candidate, it would only need the announce
ment tbat tho Allegheny delegation as
constituted in past State conventions was
for me, to make everybody run from me.
Mr. Bigler is a lucky man a very' lucky
man. He as good as has the nomination
now, and the announcement that the Alle-
1 AAnnfw (9Aljr.i4fn 1, drrtifnct ntm
will bring the nomination to him on a silver
salver. When Mr. Bigler was here last
week, 1 remarxea to nim mav it wonea very
-l. ltl-A h!a nnminatlnn ftnd hi rpmnrlrwi
that while he was not an aTowed candidate,
bis cbances certainty seciueu ui a iivorauie
nature. You can say that a certain element
of the Democrats in this county
are tired of being represented at
State conventions in the manner which
has made such men as Wallace, Scott and
Randall wonder just what brand of De
mocracy is cultivated in Allegheny county.
Some half a doxen Democratic gentlemen
are at the head of a movement to change the
face of things. Within the past few days it
has been decided to put up delegates in .
every election district in the county, and
while no claims are made in advance, there
may be some surprises in store for the 'Sea
shore Delegation.' The men who have been
lolling on cardinal red sofas in the Girard
House or cutting a dash on the Atlantic
City piers, and assuming to speak for Alle
gheny Democracy may find a change im
pending. There is room for improvement
beyond a doubt, but I am sure that such
men as R. H. Johnston and Judge Bailey
stand in no need of grandiose 'indorsements'
from the 'Seashore Delegation.' "
i EXPOSITION PE0GEES8.
aianncer Johnston Says There Will be No
Postponement.
Mr. Keech has received money enough, or
guarantees therefor, to decorate the Exposi
tion building, and flags and bunting will
add largely to the general effect The flor

by which electric motors can be run, and
moving exhibits are in demand on account
of their superior attractiveness to stationary
ones.
Manager Johnston says the Exposition

LOSS 0 BABEELS.
What Some Brewers Bliss Became Their
Kegs Are Not Returned.
Some breweries lose heavily on missing
kegs. For instance Spencer & Liddell's
have an annual loss of $20,000 in cooperage.
Hon. Robert Liddell, speaking on the sub
ject to a Dispatch reporter, stated that 75
per cent of their barrels are never returned;
though there is a very stringent law against
their'retention, but it is never enforced. "I
have been down into the coke regions," hb
said, "where men will have their beer, and
tbey bny it in eighths or quarters. After
the kegs have been emptied, they throw
them into the river, and that is the last we
see of them. I have myself seen the large
barrels used as rain tubs; neither persuasion
or anything else will induce the parties who
have the barrels to give them up. I be
lieve it would pay a brewer, to have a man
constantly located on all the river banks to
pick up those which have floated to the
bank again."

Remains, Has blurted.
A cablegram from Liverpool to Mr. Wm.
R. Thompson yesterday conveyed the in
formation that Messrs. Charles J. Clark and
A. R. Griscom and Dr. A. Blair Thaw, in
attendance upon the remains of the late
William Thaw, were awaiting the departure
of the City of Paris from the Inman dock at
Liverpool.
A telegram from the Inman offices states
that the City of Paris left Liverpool
at a few minutes past 11 o'clock yesterday,
American time. Should expectations be
realized the vessel will reach Kew York
next Tuesday morning before noon. A
special train Aver the Pennsylvania Rail
road will probably complete the mournful
journey to this city. Preparations for a
simple funeral are in progress, but the fam
ily show a natural reticence as to details.

THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH,
BELGIAN BLOWERS.
Another Batch of 160 Foreigners
Bound for American Shores
TO SUPPLEMENT THE HOME TOILER
They Are Snpposed to be Under Contract,
and Hay Go to Michigan.
WHAT PEESIDENT CAMPBELL THINKS
According to, some information in the
hands of Homer L. McGaw, the well
known labor advocate, and who has prose
cuted the investigation of the reported
glais workers, another and larger batch of
foreign glass workers are now on their way
to this country. Most of the men are sup
posed to be on their way to the -window
house of Louis Bletz & Co., at Delray,
Mich, The firm has been trying to hire
Belgians to deplace the Americans at their
factory. The latter, they claim, have be
come too independent for them, and they
would rather have Belgians. The foreign
ers are not so particular about wages and
hours of work, and the firm claim they give
better satisfaction in every way.
When they shut down their factory for
the summer all the American blowers were
told that they were not needed at the next
fire. The mortar teaser, manager and pot
maker of the factory went to Toledo and
Giffin to try and secure some Belgians who
were there, but they could not hire the men.
Among the men discharged were Rhinehart
Kindburg, an employe who had been there
for 12 years, and Robert Walker, who had
been preceptor of the local assembly.
A SUBPEISE IN STORE.
Last Saturday The Dispatch mentioned
the fact that the company had an agent in
this vicinity looking for Belgian blowers,
but it was not supposed at the time that any
attempt would be made to bring men from
Europe. Mr. McGaw claims to have au
thoritative information, and the following
will appear in this week's issue of the Na
tional Glass Budget. The paper has taken
a determined stand against the Jeannette
blowers, and will fight the present case:
From reliable sources we are informed that
160 blowers, gatherers and cutters have ar
ranged to come to this country In a body from
Belgium. They have secured reduced rates on
account of the great number, and will take pas
sage for America from Antwerp on Saturday,
August HI. This would bring them to New
York on August 31, and to Pittsburg. Jeannette
or wherever they may be able to secure work,
by the first or second of September. Our infor
mation is corroborated by a Belgian who had
been in this country for some time, but who
spent his vacation in his old home, and has just
returned. These Belgians are, however, re-,
ported to be coming on their own means, and
as yet no evidence has been secured of any con
tract, it is not thought that the Manufactur
ers' Association is bringing them over, as the
members of that boay claim that in the present
condition ol tnegiusmarKei it wouiu ue un
wise for them to resume. It is stated that some
of the Belgians are to go to Delray, Mich.,
where Blitz fe Co. have discharged all their old
blowers and openly stated thoy would hire only
Belgians in the future, -because tho firm be
lieves them to be more manageable.
MAT GO 10 JEANNETTE.
Whether any of the men were intended for
the second tank at Jeannette Is not now posi
tively known. Had all the manufacturers re
sumed on September 1 It is probable "that
Chambers, McKee 4 Co. wodld have found it
difficult to get I good blowers to work on tbe
tank unless guaranteed as much as they would
average on pot furnaces. It would then have
depended upon tho action of the executive offi
cers of L. A. 200, whether these prospective
immigrants would have been recognised as
union men, or taken into the organization.
They could not have very well refused to gTant
these new comers the same privilego which
tbey accorded to tbe English window .workers.
Should the Manufacturers' Association how
ever desire to hire these men, and work on a
scale of their own. It would lend color to the
charge that some arrangement existed by which
these men were brought -over in the nick of
time. A cablegram sent, to Europe August 13
(the day the wage conference ended so ab
ruptly), to the proper agents, would have been
given ample time to arrange matters.
If this were the case, legal measures could
not be evoked, for the simple reason that
James Campbell and his Executive Board have
set a precedent which virtually nullifies the law
which has hitherto served asabarcier. It would
in addition be harder to prove a contract in
this case than In tbe case of the English glass
blowers.
It is evident that in a short time President
Campbell and the official organ will have no
cause to complain about the scarcity of window
workers.
President James Campbell, of the Win
dow Glass Workers' Association, was seen
in regard to the above, and asked if he had
any knowledge of who the men were. Mr.
Campbell was inclined to believe that the
160 men were Belgian residents of this city
who were coming back from Europe, where
they spent their vacation during the shut
down. -Mr. Campbell said:
"I have no knowledge of the men coming
to this country, and if they are strangers I
think we would have heard of it It does
not make any difference, however, who the
men are. If they have traveling cards from
their different assemblies, they can find
plenty of work here. If they are not pro
vided" with union cards, they may as well
not come.
"When the factories shut down in June,
abont 300 Belgians and Englishmen left
this country to spend the summer at their
respective birthplaces. I think the 160 meu
who will sail on the 29th are part of this
crowd. None of them have come back yet,
and as it is approaching the time for the
resumption ,of work, it is very likely that
these men are Belgian residents of this
country. They go to .Europe every year in
the spring and come back in the fall sea
son." ,
A BLAZE OP LIGHTS.
The Cltv Not Yet in Darkness Horses and
BncEles Being; Used to Get Around
Tbe Dark Localities.
Foreman John Daley, of the Allegheny
County Light Company, and several of his
most experienced men were out last night
with horses and buggies answering the calls
for light, which came from all parts of the
city. The strike inaugurated by the carbon
setters, and which threatened to leave the
city in darkness, was practically settled by
a combination of circumstances in favor of
the company.
The strikers, who are members of Elec
trical Union Ko. 1 and are attached to the
Federation of Labor, held an enthusiastic
meeting in their hall on Fifth avenue yes
terday. Speeches were made by a number
of the men and it was nnanimously decided
to remain ont until the company paid the
advance. A number of the men are old
strikers, having been engaged in the tele
graph strike of '83. Several of the men who
went out on tbe telegraph strike, and who
are now working for the light company, re
fused to join the strikers and are still at
work.
The advertisement in The Dispatch
yesterday morning -from the company for
-men had the effect of inducing several hun
dred to apply at the offices of the company
for the positions of the strikers. A nnmber
of the applicants were hired, but the strik
ers soon induced them ti return their tools
and quit work. Others refuted, and under
the instrnction of the dynamo men from the
Virgin alley factory, they soon learned the
business. The majority of the new men
made very poor pole climbers and had to
use stepladders to reach the small wind
lasses. To economize as much as possible, the
circuits on a number of streets were not
charged last evening until about half an
hour after the regular time. A nnmber of
lamps all over the city burned out The
only inconvenience of note was pq Forbes

made a spasmodic flicker, bnt the carbons

GLASS MAKERS HOME.
An Agreement Blade by Outsiders That They
Will Not Pay the Advance.
The window glass manufacturers of this
city who went to Cleveland to attend the
meeting of the association, returned, home
yesterday. They were greatly pleased with
the result of the meeting, as it would proba
blv be a month yet before a start would be
made. Secretary LofHer was very sanguine
of the lockout resulting in favor ot the
manufacturers. He stated that nearly all
the members of the association, together
with those manufacturers who were not in

not to pay the advance asked by the work

Three Rcelments of Old Soldier Dicns
War Times at Rock Point 3,000
Fcoplo Enjoyed the Fan.
There was an immense throng of people
eager for pleasure at Rock. Point yesterday.
The Roundheads (an historic old name)
held their twenty-fourth annual picnic at
this delightful and rugged spot The old
war veterans of the One Hundredth Pennsyl
vania Volunteers, turned out in great
force, a larger number came to the reunion
this year than there has for the last seven
years. There were 275 members answered
the roll call. The One Hundred and First
and One Hundred and Third joined with
the One Hundredth, and the intercom-,
munion between the three regiments was of
the most friendly character.
The number assembled on the grounds by
12 o'clock was considerably over 3,000
people. Every family carried a huge bas
ket laden with the necessaries of life, and,
as an old soldier said, "No one need go
hungry." The day was spent pleasantly by
everyone.
Among the old warriors their leading and
absorbing topic was reminiscences. All
over the grove could be seen snatches of
men earnestly telling or listening to ex
ploits that they had some personal part in.
The battles were fought over again. Ever
and anon some old veteran would tell of
some brilliant military achievement in
which his regiment had participated. Cheers
would greet the remark, which made the
old rocks echo it into the past. Songs were
also indulged in freely, "The Star Spangled
Banner." "Marching Through Georgia,"
and "Tenting" were the most popular.
During the afternoon a meeting of the old
regiment was called. The whole assembly,
however, answered. As tbey crowded
around the dancing platform it was a sight
worthy to be remembered. Cheer aftercheer
went up from the enthnsiastic crowd, and it
was several minutes before Major Leckey
was able to be heard.
He said that it was the most brilliant
gathering that he and his comrades had
been at He then gave a resume of the
regiment's exploits, and finished by saying
that there was an imperishable monument
erected to the memory of the One Hundredth
Pennsylvania Volunteers, more enduring
than marble it was the gratitude of a
nation, who showered tokens of love upon
them, because they had nobly fought for the
cause of liberty, unity and unfettered
freedom. Captain Duggan also spoke. The
national anthem concluded this part of the
programme.
The rest of the day was spent by the
young people in dancing, throwing quoits,
baseball, lawn tennis and other popular
amusements. The parties left the grounds
about 6:30 P. M., and returned well satisfied
with their day's enjoyment.
A NEW ENTERPRISE.
A Prospective Company to Locate n Large
Supply FnctorjTor Water Works 8500,
OOO Capital.
Mr. W. M. Dodda, a business man of New
York, has been in the city the past few days
looking np the business status and resources
of this section. He represents a nnmber of
capitalists in New York City who are look
ing out for an investment of their surplus
capital in manufacturing. They propose to
build and operate a large works for the
manufacture of water works supplies, such
as valves, hydrants, etc. Mr. Dodds
said that several Pittsburg capi
talists had joined the proposed
company, and he was shown around by
them while here. He wonld not give their
names, however, until his return and the
arrangements were definitely made.
The capitalization of the companv is to be
about 5500,000. Mr. Dodds hinted that it
might be raised, as the company would
start slow and work up, like other great
corporations of this city he had been told
about
After going about the city and inspecting
its source of supply and facilities for manu
facturing and shipping in company with
the Pittsburg parties, he told a reporter
that he was very well pleased with Pitts
burg as a location. No other company of
the kind is situated here, and all the ma
terials, such as iron, etc., could be obtained
cheaply near at hand. He said that with
the information he had the establishment of
the companv in Pittsburg was pretty sure.
Mr. Dodds returned to New York last
night and will be back in the city in about
a week, when the formation of the company
will be completed.
The mill will probably be located on the
Pennsylvania Railroad.

CLEANING THE BASIN.
Why the Water Supply Was Low in
, the Allegheny Hill Districts,
AND THE HOUSEWIVES GRUMBLED.
Cars on the Electric Hallway Stopped by
the Deficiency.
CAUSE OP DARKNESS IN THE PARKS
Superintendent Edward Armstrong, of the
Allegheny Water Department, is engaged
with a large force of men in cleaning out
the reservoir or basin at the upper end of the
city. The basin has not been cleaned for
about five years, and is said to contain a
large deposit of mud. The water having
been drawn off, the mud is dredged from the
bottom of the basin, and is run down a long
chute into the river. Thework will require
about three days.
The hydraulio pressure exerted by the
great body of water contained in the basin,
which is kept pumped fall at all times ex
cept at present, adds considerably to the
force of the water in the pipes and largely
assists the engines at the water works pump
ing station in supplying all parts of the
city.
The withdrawal of the water in the basin
yesterday caused a material weakening of
the pressure. The pumping engines were
unable to force the fluid to the pipes in the
hill districts. At the same time a heavy
draught on the supply was made by the
dozen engines working at the burning oil
refinery. The day was unusually hot, and
an extra amount of water was consumed in
the business portion of the city. During
the day several complaints reached the
Water Department that water could not be
obtained on the hills. No shortage was
found in the main part of the city. The
fire engines had all they wanted and
people down town were well supplied.
The failure of the water supply on the
hills brought the electrical railway of the
Pittsburg Motor Company, which runs
from City Hall over Observatory Hill, to a
standstill. The motor house of that line is
situated on the Perryviile road, at a con
siderable elevation above the city, and
water could not be obtained in sufficient
quantity to supply the boilers and run the
engines. At the close of working hours
last evening many a tired man and woman
had a weary plod np the high hilL
XO LIGHT MERE.
The failure of the electric arc lights in all
the parks last night caused many persons to
think that the water supply had failed at
the motor station of the Allegheny County
Light Company on East Diamond street.
General Manager Bloxter supported this
opinion. "The fact of the matter is," he
said, "that we cannot get any water over in
Allegheny to work our engines."
' "How many lights will be affected?"
"I have no'idea at present Of coarse we
shall do all we can to prevent a general
darkness, and I do not think it will come to
that But from the latest reports I have
obtained from Allegheny, our commercial
service will be very poor."
' "How will it affect this city?"
"Why, a good many ot the lights in
Pittsburg are run from our Allegheny ma
chines, and, of course, if we cannot get
water to run them there is no light to be
had."
A reporter last evening visited the motor
house on East Diamond street It was
ablaze with the glare of lightning and deaf
ening with the roar of machines. Every
wheel was taming. The chief engineer was
asked why there were no lights in the park.
He answered: "I don't know. Everything
is all right here. I cannot tell what is the
matter with the park lights. All our other
lights are going."
The question was asked: "Is it possible
that somebody may have cut the wires in
the part: circuit?"
"That might be," the engineer replied;
"there must be a break somewhere."
The engineer was asked if some of the
lights in. Pittsburg were not run by the ma
chines in the Allegheny house, and he an
swered: "Oh, no; none over there at all;
only on this side of the river."
THE PARKS DARK.
Many arc lights are furnished to stores on
Federal and Ohio streets. They were all
burning last night in splendid shape. In
the parks, however, there was almost
Egyptian darkness. The streets bordering
the parks have no gas lamps, but depend
for their light upon the bright electric halos
from the masts in the parks. Last night
those halos were nnanimously elsewhere,
and the residence parts of Allegheny near
the parks luxuriated in darkness. Pe
destrians slapped along the best way they
could; in and out of waterpools and mud
holes, and the third commandment suffered
many serious fractures. Had it not been for
the heavy rain tb.e parks would have been
tbe paradise of lovers last night '.Those
hateful lights" were extinguished, but the
rustic seats were distressingly wet It is
hard to grow real spoony and sentimental
on a very wet bench. Quite a nnmber of
couples paced pensively, and with exceed
ing deliberation, along the dark walks.
Besides supplying the parks with arc
lights, the light company furnishes the in
candescent lighting for the City Hall and
market house. The incandescent lights
were ell right At about 9 o'clock the arc
light over the gate to the municipal grounds
suddenly flashed up, and the detectives sit
ting about the door to the Mayor's office all
said, "Ah, hal There she is."
AKOTHER COLORED SCHOOL.
Father AIcDermolt Establishes One In
Philadelphia SIIss Drexel'a Intentions
She Will Mat Teach.
The following special was received last
night from Philadelphia:
Rev. Father McDennott, who for many years
has been a professor at the Holy Ghost College
at Pittsburg, will, on September 2. open a Cath
olic school for boys at Ninth and Pino streets.
The building has heretofore been occupied as
a school for girls, taught by the Sisters of
Notre Dame, and for their accommodation the
building at No. 1108 Pine street has been tem
porarily secured.
Special Interest has been taken by Father
McDennott In the education of colored youtns,
and be is considered one of the most competent
educators in the country. It is his intention to
provide facilities forgiving the boys a thorough
course of instruction in all tbe elementary
branches, and such as may desire it will bo
civon a course in practical bookkeeping.
French, German and the classics. An experi
enced corps of teachers has already been en
gaged. For boys and yonng men who aro em
ployed during the day a night school will be
opened early in October, and 'students will ba
given a sound, practical business education.
"The account recently published of a liberal
donation having been made to the school by
Miss Drexel is entirely without foundation,"
t&id Father McDennott to-day. "Miss Drexel
is in a Pittsburg convent She is not paying
any attention to worldly affairs, and if she has
ever been engaged in teaching colored children
no one except the reporters has as yet been
able to nnd it oat. The announcement that
Miss Drexel had given so liberally to the school
has stopped other contributions, and the circu
lation of such a report is calculated to greatly
injure the prospects of an institution that will
depend for its success largely upon charity."
One of tbe features of the institution is the
handsome chapel that has recently been fitted
up in a portion of the bnilding. Services are
held specially for colored people, ana its capac
ity is greatly taxed every Sunday morning by
tho large dumber of people who attend mass.

THE FLAMES STILL ALITE.
The Terrible Fire Kept Manchester In Tear
and Trembling: All Yesterday The Body
of Thornton Sillier Found.
The smoke of the terrible conflagration
in Manchester hnng over Allegheny all yes
terday. The flames kept alive all day, and
at 9 P. M. the fire was jnst as strong as it
was in the morning. The firemen were
hard at work np to that hour, and there
seemed very little hope of quenching tho
blaze before morning. Ko further spread
ing of the fire was" then reported, and the re
maining tank had not exploded. The
much-feared-for warehouse with its store of
benzine was also safe.
The loss will not be quite so heavy as at
first feared. Its figure is about fl50,000,
excluding the loss of 6,000 barrels of crnde
oil. By the accident nearly 100 men will
be temporarily thrown out ot employment.
Mr. A. D. Miller, Jr., statesjthat a new
plant will occupy the. site of the old one in
a very short time. A much larger refinery
will, he says, rise from the ashes of the de
stroyed buildings.
The body of the missing fireman, Thorn
ton Miller, was found about 7A.it. yester
day. The body was almost destroyed, only
a remnant of the (spinal column and some
other portions remaining. The body must
have been thrown some distance, as it fell
on a board pile by the railroad siding.
Miller leaves a wife and several children.
But that the wind was blowing up the
river many of the surrounding houses would
have been burned.
The following figures covering the insur
ance were tnrnisbed: The total amount,
as placed by Edwards & Kennedy, is
(18,890. About two-thirds of the insured
propertv suffered; $12,140 was settled on the
refinery proper; $5,600 en tank No. 8;
$10,000 on tank No. 9; $4,800 on tank No.
10; $2 800 on tank No. 11 $1,500 on staves
and headings, and $3,7GO on the barrel
factory.
On the threatened benzine warehouse
there is an insurance of $9,000.
All these insurances are placed in foreign
companies, and no Pittsburg company is
affected.
The Miller refinery has for many years
been a strong rival of the Standard Oil
Company, which has made several attempts
to absorb it. It was erected in 1860, and
had a capacity of 4,000 barrels of crude oil
per week.
At 11 o'clock last night the great confla
gration was reported to be sinking, fast.
The big-tank on the Adams street side was
almost burned out, and it was thought that
the benzine tank was out of danger. It was.
however, feared that the benzine had all
evaporated with the intense heat
The firemen deserve the greatest credit
for their gallant battle with the flames. So
great was the heat that at one time they
found it necessary to throw water over one
another. Toward evening some six of the
Manchester police force relieved the more
exhausted of the men. The worst fear about
5 o'clock was for tank 10, which had been
twisted by tbe heat so that its seams burst
open. No evil effects, however, resulted.
Tbe old Grant engine blew out a cylinder
during the afternoon, and the packing
round the Friendship engine's piston gave
way. Both engines were crippled and had
to leave work. Mr. Miller found the nat
ural gas cock under the still that exploded
turned on full, and he thinks that this
caused the blow up. He said that he
thought some tampering had been done by
outsiders.
Perry Hawk, who was so badly burned in
the fire, is lying at the residence of his son-in-law,
D. A. Vausdale. His condition is
said to be no longer critical, and he will
recover.
A Coroner's jury will view the remains of
Thornton Miller this morning, and an in
quest will be held on Saturday.
A Morbid Uver.
The special offices of the liver are known
only to a limited degree. It is located on a
level and at right ot stomach, the left lobe
lying over the upper part of that organ. It
secretes a product called bile, and it is said
there ore some traces of sugar. It is not the
province of this article, supposing we could
do so, to enumerate the special offices this
product fills in health. It is said the liver
is a blood-forming organ; one might natur
ally infer from its size and the perfect net
work of blood passages found within it that
it is in reality the greatest blood-forming or
gan in the animal economy. The bile passes
through a short duct into "the bowel just be
low the stomach and thence normally down
ward. At times a reversal of nature's order
intervenes, and as a result bile passes up
ward into the stomach, creating a whole
catalogue of unpleasant sensations. Who
knows'bnt thatftnis is the underlying canse
of some forms of sick headache? We may
feel only a slight uneasiness, nansea and a
distaste for food. In other cases continuous
nausea and all the symptoms of dyspepsia,
and in more severe cases vomiting, varying
in degree according to the amount of bile
that finds its way into th stomach. An
other effect is drowsiness on sitting or 'read
ing, requires a special effort to keep awake,
and in some cases no amount of sleep satis
fies. Should the bile reabsorb, owing to in
flammatory actions or mechanical causes,
the result is jaundice. In chronic inflam
mation of the liver substance the pulse will
rise very high, from 120 to 130 heats per
minute. This condition may continne for
months, hut eventually, if not overcome,
results in death.
INFLAMMATION OF 1IVEE 'WITH SYMPA
THETIC DYSPEPSIA.
Dr. S. O. Moore. 34 Arch St., Allegheny, Pa.:
I came to you early in November, 1888,
having lost all hope of ever obtaining re
lief, aad believing that I was abont to die.
From 133 1 was gradually losing, and when
I consulted you I weighed 110 pounds.
Poor appetite, constant pain in liver with
soreness, pulse very high, about 120 per
minute, bitter taste and very bad breath;
would lay like a log all night and yet never
feel rested; no life or any interest in any
thing. I had dull pain,nausea, burning,
wind and acidity of stomach, which you
said was sympathetic and dependent, a dis
eased liver, very costive. I had doctored
before coming to you continuously for the
past three years and was steadily failing.
Your bandage treatment and mild system
atic internal medication in four months'
time removed the inflammation of the liver
and my pnlse became normal. I gained 18
pounds, my stomach grew stronger and
bowels regular, and I was lifted from the
depths of despondency and began to see
more that was enjoyable in life.

Incidents en Route.
Wonderful stories have been told of the
devotion of dogs and their sagacity in dif

practical steed has not been paralleled by
on instance brought to notice last night
Frank Forsyth, of Irwin, has been a crip
ple since his birth, and for 12 years has de
pended wholly on his dogs to draw him from
lilacs to place in a cart weighing, with him
self, 175 pounds. About lour months ago
he started on a tour through Philadelphia,
Harrisburg, Washington and other points,
driving through the country with his dog,
an intelligent animal of the shepherd breed
about 3 years old.
Last night he returned from his long
tour, covering over 900 miles, onlv traveling
a very small percentage of the distance on
the train. His return trip from Harrisburg
was made through the country with his dog
as his horse. The dog obeys his simplest
command, but last night his last long trip
had tired him, and his master decided to
take the train from Pittsburg to his home.
The dog weighs 75 pounds, less than half
his load.
Ashe traveled through the country Mr.
Forsyth repaired clocks, etc He left
Johnstown the night before the flood.
He guides his novel steed by one line,
without a whip. The dog will not allow;
