CHIEF BEOW. EXPLAINS
r
Why the Conspiracies Were Exposed,
and Outlines a Policy.
WIDESPREAD CORRUPTION SHOWN.
Attorney Marron Says This Has Only Been
the Commencement.
CERTAIN RUMORS FOUKD-IO BE FALSE
John Marron, Esq., one of the attorneys
for the Department of Public Safety, in the
"speak-easy" conspiracy cases, intimated
yesterday that the scope of the prosecutions
-would surprise the public.
He was asked by a Dispatch reporter
whether any more arrests were in contem
plation. "Certainly," he replied. "The arrests
made thus far are simply a commencement.
A number of people who have been acces
sory to blackmailing transactions in various
parts of the city will be arrested very soon."
"Any Aldermen among them?"
"Yes. We have a cartload of evidence
which implicates other Aldermen than
those already held to court
"Can you particularize?"
"Yes; an Allegheny Alderman will prob
ably be asked to" explain some informations
made before him by Bauder. Then there is
an Alderman in the Lawrenceville district
who has been doing some peculiar things.
X have a client who has paid this Alderman
$187 in costs within eight months in cases
in which no hearings at all were held. An
amusing incident happened in this connec
tion not over a month since. My client be
came tired of bing phlebotomized at inter
vals of a week, and got me to appear at a
hearing for him. I showed up with my
client, to the great discomfiture of the Al
derman. He sat in his front room when I en
tered, hnt he arose precipitately and shut the
door leading into the inner office. I
called his attention to the fact that the time
of hearing was past and no prosecutor had
shown up, and he said that he wonld dis
miss the case. So we walked out. I sus
pected something and had a man watch the
Alderman's office. "Within 20 minutes
after the case was dismissed J. D. Bauder
and two other 'detectives' came out of the
office and made a beeline for the nearest sa
loon. That is only an instance."
cniEF nitows's KxrosE.
"Then some more arrests will be made?"
"Yes. The Department of Public Safety
drag-net is beginning to work, and a start
ling percentage of the city Aldermen may
find themselves in a position to explain cer
tain transactions. "We have just secured
some more evidence against Bauder, and we
have him, as the saving is, 'dead to
lights.' "
Chief J. O. Brown was asked last night
to give the public some information in re
gard to the conspiracy campaign. He said:
"It came to the knowledge of the Police
Board of the Department of Public Safety,
that there was a comprehensive and wide
spread system of blackmail of speak-easies,
fortune-tellers, notorious-houses, and other
forms of violators of the law in existence all
over the city. The Police Inspectors of the
several districts were requested to make an
investigation. They did so and I de
termined to stop any and every form of
blackmailing. Mr. "Whitehouse was able
to get his cases in shape with the
result that we shall uncover every
transaction of Aldermen and 'detective'
agencies which will not bear the light of
day. "We have found hundreds of people
ready to tell all they know, and we shall
keep right on. I regret that there arc
forms ot vice which we cannot eradicate,
but I submit that the law must punish of
fenders in a legal way. "When we get
through with this matte'r it will be unsafe
for individuals to try to baten off of law
breakers. The evidence we have now will
hurt some people when it comes out in
court Inspector McAleese has been placed
in control of information indicating that
notorious houses have been blackmailed to
the tune of hundreds of dollars, and from
every part of the city we have the same
complaint
BAD STATE OP AFFAIBS.
"The machinery of Aldermen's offices
has been prostituted shamefully," contin
ued Chief Brown, "and the general charac
ter of city Aldermen has been lowered by
injudicious elections. Some of th: Consta
bles could hardly have been worse chosen
for such positions. There are, of course,
exception's. The violations of law natural
ly to be expected in a city of this size
places the police force in the position of re
straining open and flagrant' abuses, but
there can be no question that public feeling
is strongly against allowing blackmailing
and semi-legal hush-money transactions to
Etill further lower the moral tone of the
city, especially when the above abuses per
meate every section of the city. I may say
officially that blackmailing in Pittsburg
will be an unhealthy occupation in the
future."
Various rumors, apparently engendered
by the heat of the political situation, have
been current since the Department of Pub
lic Safety commenced its active crusade
against blackmailing operations. A story
that receives credence in some quarters ran
to the effect that a syndicate of brewers had
furnished the officials the information that
led to the arrest of the Bauder gang, in or
der to relieve the speat-easies of a disas
trous prosecution. This story was denied
in its entirety by Chief J. O. Brown last
evening wnen repeated to him.
Alderman Brinker stated yesterday that
he had heard several times that he wa's to be
arrested in connection with the Bauder con
spiracy cases. He says be awaits any
euch action with perfect composure. He
showed The DisrATCH representative the
record in his docket of the only two cases J.
D. Bauder ever had brought before him.
Both were for oleomargarine selling, and in
that against OwenMcCann a fine of ?50 and
costs was imposed and an appeal to court
taken. In the case against Elizabeth Hurst
on May 14, Bander, the prosecutor paid
$1 90 costs and withdrew the case.

ELLEN WEISEN'S SUICIDE.
A McKeesport Yonng Lady Drowna Herself
In the Yonclilosben j What John Teenier
Saw White Ont Practicing. ,
The dead body of a young and handsome
woman was found floating in the Yough
ioglieny river at McKeesport yesterday
alternoon.
Three young men, named John Moon,
Warren Hannigan and H. S. Shaffer.'werc,
skiff riding about 2 o'clock and found the
body in shallow water about half a mile
above the McKeesSort water works. They
hauled it ashore, and, after the body had
been viewed by a large number of persons,
it was taken to Hunter's undertaking rooms.
The Coroner was notified and went to Mc
Kecsport about 6 o'clock. Before he arrived
friends of the deceased had identified the
body as that of Miss Ellen "Weisen, aged 33,
who has been living with her parents on
fifth avenue, near the Baltimore and Ohio
depot, McKeesport.
Upon investigation, the Coroner learned
that the unfortunate young woman has been
demented for some time, her mind having
been affected by a severe felon on her hand
six months ago. Yesterday morning about
9 o'clock she started from home to take a
walk up toward the water works. An hour
later John Teemer, the oarsman, who was
out practicing for his coming race with
Gaudaur, saw the young woman wading out
in the water waist deep near where her body
was found. As he rowed past her, she threw
herself backward into the water and then
rose again as if she were enjoying a bath.
Teemer thought she was all right and paid
no further attention to her.
There seems to be no doubt that Miss
"Weisen committed suicide. She wajfan un
usually handsome young woman, and was
the eldest of a family of 15 children. The
Coroner will hold an inquest this morning.
COURTS MAI DECIDE
That Old Deadlock Ont nt tho Lincoln Snb
Dlstiict School.
The impression has been made by news
paper accounts of the Lincoln school dead
lock that Miss McCormick, teacher of No.
14 was an applicant for the position of writ
ing teacher, held last year by Miss Gardner.
Such is very far from being the fact Not
only did Miss McCormick never apply for
the j position, but so soon as her name was
presented, positively refused to be consid
ered a candidate. She was an applicant for
the position she filled last year to the satis
faction of Superintendent Greaves and all
concerned. Against her own will and
without her knowledge, Miss McCormick's
name was presented to the Lincoln School
Board iu opposition to Miss Gardner and
supported for the position by three members.
There was at no time any opposition to her
being retained in the schools. Now she is
left out in the cold by the board because
they cannot agree as to who shall be writing
teacher.
The three members of the board who
would, at the close of the school year, cheer-'
fully have placed Miss'McCormick in her
old position, and now have no personal ob
jection to her,, refuse to do so until the
other three shall come to them and reinstate
Miss Gardner. It now looks as though the
courts would be called on to settle the diffi
culty. PITTSBURG MAKES THEM,
Bat Like Dew They Are Distributed All
Over the Co an try.
George A. Kelly, who was addressed on
the subject of a list of mills in this city
making ship materials, and for the names
of men prominent in river navigation, by J.
"W. Bvckman, General Manager of the In
ternational Maritime Exhibition, to be held
in Boston next winter, delegated the matter
to Superintendent Follansbee, of the Cham
ber of Commerce. Mr. Follansbee gave all
the information obtainable short of a census
report Mr Kelly hopes that as President
Harrison has intimated that subsidyug
gestions do not frighten him, an interest
will be fostered that will eventuate in
American produce and manufacture being
carried in American bottoms.
The fact is that there isn't an iron mill in
this city that doesn't make ship materials,
but as Sir. A. P. Keating observes, Pitts
burg makes mainly semi-raw product, and
that product goes in a thousand forms, not
only into ships, but almost everything that
is fabricated in workshops scattered all over
the countrv. '
RESOLUTIONS ABOUT W1L THAW.
The Humane Society Add Their Tribute to
Ills Enlocy.
The regular weekly meeting of the Hu
mane Society was held yesterday, and the
following minute on the death of "William
Thaw, a member of the society, was adopted
and ordered to be spread on the records:
The Humane Society of Western Pennsylva
nia has heard with profound regret and sorrow
of the death of William Thaw, a distinguished
citizen and Christian, a philanthropist and a
life member of this society: ever ready to re
lieve the distressed, the poor and unfortunate;
a friend of humanity, a wise counsellor and an
upright man. Wc, in common with this entire
community, mourn his death, and tender to
his bereaved family our heartfelt sympathy.
Agent O'Brien reported a trip he "had
made to Buffalo, K. Y., where he had seen
an ambulance for injured animals. The
Secretary was instructed to write to other
cities and ask for information regarding
them. Iu all probability the society will
have one made for use in this city. Forty
dollars was received from fines.
BY THE WHOLESALE.
An Allegheny Drinker Pat Avrny Whisky
Too Fast Yesterday.
In a North Side saloon yesterday after
noon, Ebenezer Dickey, who is known as a
man-about-town, made a wager with a friend
that he could drink a pint of whisky within
five minutes. The friend was to pay for the
whisky and yield ?2 if the feat was per
formed. The whisky was bought and drunk
without difficulty.
Ebenezer immediately became interested
in the wholesale whisky trade. Having S3
in his pocket, he bought another pint of
whisky and proceeded to drink it with
calm premeditation.
At 6 o'clock a policeman found Ebenezer
lying unconscious behind the market house.
The man was removed to the Central police
station and Dr. Husclton was called to see
him. All efforts to resuscitate Ebenezer
were vain. He was taken to the Allegheny
General Hospital. It is possible that he
may never drink another pint of whisky.

A BOYAL ROMANCE.
Facts About the Death of King Lud
j wig of jBavaria Narrated by
niSBODfcGUABDHOWIHPlTTgBOBG
He Says the Ruler Was a Tictim of Bis
marck's Revenue. ''
A MILLEE'S DAUGHTER THE KING'S LOVE
The mysterious circumstances surround
ing the death of King Ludwig II., of Bava
ria, would be mysterious no longer if the
story of Mr. J. Erlanger, of Forbes street,
this city, is accredited. This man was for
nearly four years King Ludwig's private
body guard. He claims that during all that
time he was never over an hour away from
the royal personage, and he asserts he can
make an affidavit to all he says. Erlanger
was born in the Bavarian mountains. He
entered the Boyal Life Guards as a private
soldier, but one day on a parade Ludwig II.
was attracted by the handsome yonng
soldier and he singled him out
from the regiment to attend upon him at
his castle near the Lake of Staruberg. Mr.
Erlanger lives on Forbes street, and while
at the house of a friend on Gist street last
evening he told the following story:
"First of all, let me tell you that Ludwig
IL was not mad at all. He was as sane as
everany man was. He was the soul of good
ness. It is true that he withdrew from the
society of the world and preferred to live by
himself. But he did not do that because he
hated the world or the people. but because
he had to hide himself to escape the dagger
of some mysterious assassin or the pistol of
a hired murderer.
BTJEKOUNDED BY CONSPtBATOBS.
"The cause of all his trouble can be traced
back to two points he was an enemy of
Bismarck and he reiused to marry a woman
who had been relegated to him by Boyal
relatives. He was in a constant controversy
with the Ministry of "War in Berlin.
"Various innovations were proposed by Bis
marck to be introduced into the Bavarian
army, but Ludwig XL. always refused to
sanction them. Politically he was always
at variance with Bismarck, and several of
the pet schemes of the Iron Chancellor had
to be abandoned because King Ludwig re
fused to be a party to them. For that
reason several conspiracies were formed to
remove the King in some way. At first the
machinery was set to work to replace the
trusty Bavarian servants surrounding the
King by Prussians. Then a physician was
obtained to examine the mental condition of
the King. Nobody had ever before thought
such a thing necessary, but his
enemies succeeded, and a doctor, I
forget his name, pronounced Ludwig IL
insane. The next move was to have him
placed in a lunatic asylum. The plans had
been well laid. The carriage which vras to
carry him to the doors of the asylum, got
within the gate of the royal castle, when the
plot was discovered and the King refused to
go odt I remember the day well. Several
of us were standing around His Majesty
when the announcement was made, that the
carriage was awaiting to take him for a
drive. But no sooner had the door closed
again, than Baron von Zecklngen, the
King's second physician, came in. He im
plored Ludwig not to jjo out, and revealed
the whole plot. The King arose and quietly
walked over to one ot us, saying: 'Com
mand that carriage to be taken away again,
I do not care to drive to-day.
HIS ENEMIES UNDAUNTED.
"That settled it The evil had been
averted that time, but his enemies were not
to be daunted by one failure. Baron von
Kudder, a Prussian, was next placed in the
palace, and soon gained the confidence of
the King. The meshes were silently but
cunningly woven by this man, whom VI
know to have been in the pay ot Prussia.
How he succeeded the world knows, but no
body thought the wily baron meant to drown
the King. However, the facts are these:
'.'On the morning of that fatal day on
which the body of our beloved King was
drawn from the lake, Baron Kudder gave
this order to the guards: 'Unless the King
makes a special request for your attendance
let him go unaccompanied ononis walk
through the grounds.'
'Ot course, we obeyed. The King went
out never to return alive. I was at the lake
when they dragged his body from the7 water.
The King's hand had a strong hold of Dr.
Kudder's throat In addition to that the
lapel of the doctor's coat was torn off and
bis face was scratched in several places.
All this pointed to the fact that a severe
struggle had taken place You must re
member that the King was a very strong
man. He measured 6 ieet and 4 inches, and
weighed 275 pounds. No sooner had we
seen this sight than we knew that there had
not been a suicide or an accidental death,
but
A FOOT ASSASSINATION.
The only redeeming feature in the whole
affair was'tbat the murderer had died with
his victim. Preparations were at once
made to have the whole thing kept secret
The attendants were immediately dis
charged. A few days after the catastrophe
a number of us were sitting in a beer gar
den, when one of our number openly stated
that the King had been assassinated. A few
minutes later be was arrested and has never
been heard of since. This was a warning to
the rest, and we escaped. I left the country
without a passport "We had at first intended
to make the whole thing public, but know
ing that we would all be imprisoned with
out gaining our point, we abandoned that
"But yon have not explained to me whyT
the ii-iug so strenuously reiusea to marryr
"Simply for this reason: The King was
in love with a miller's beautiful daughter,
and he would not give her up to please eveu
his mother. His family wanted him to
marry the Princess von Danes, a lady of
the royal house of Bavaria, but he did not
want her and that settled it"
A KING'S EOSIANTIO Z.OTE.
"Do you know anything about his rela
tionship with the miller's daughter?"
"I know all about it Often have I gone
to her house with baskets of flowers, wine,
fruit and other delicacies for the young
lady. She was the most beautiful girl I
ever saw. The King became acquainted
with her while hunting in the Bavarian
Alps. Her father had a windmill on the
top of a hill, about five miles from the
Starnberg castle. He was lame and walked
with a crutch, so we called him the
Crooked Miller.' The young lady was born
May 24, 1864. She was toll and dart, with
deep, dreamy, blaf k eyes. She had a re
markable gilt for writing poetry, and I had
a whole'volume of verses written by her.
The King was passionately fond of her, and
had it not been for the fact that he would
have angered all the crowned heads of Eu
rope, he would have married. Her first
name was Ellapenia. I do not remember
' her other name, because we always called
her Fraeulein Ellapenia.
-"All the stories that have been told
about King Ludwig's eccentricities are
false. He never ordered .the Boyal Opera
Company, of Munich, to play before him
alone. He never ordered them to come to
his castle in the middle of tho night, and he
never asked them to act before him in a
state of nudity.
LUDWIO'S.SUSPICION.
"It is also untrue that he would jump
out of bed at night and ride over the moun
tains by -himself. I can assure you he
never went anywhere alone. He was too
careful. 'I am sorry I have to bother you
so much,' he would say, 'but some of my
good friends compel ma, to have a body
guard at all times.
"His bedstead had a battery of all kinds
of electrical machinery attached to it. If he
only moved from one side to the other while
asleep, all the bells in our room would ring.
THE PITTSBURG- DISPATOH,NESpTA"i

He was also particnlar with his food." Hi
never touched a morsel of bread even.unless
one of us tasted it He knew that his ene
mies had spies always surrounding him and
he meant to guard himself as well as possi
ble. "I also think that the report of his ex
travagant habits is unfounded,because when
he died he was rich.
'There are manv things connected with
the life of the dead King that I might tell,
but it ts useless. You may rest assured of
the facte, however, that King Ludwig IL of
Bavaria was never mad and never drowned
himself, but was killed by the man who
died with him."

WHERE THE IMMIb'aNTS COME FR0l(
The Italian colon) y of Pittsburg held a
very pleasant "festa'' In Silver Lake Grove
yesterday. For the past wo months every
Guiseppi and Giovanni in the Iron City has
been bestirring huiniself toward the raising
of funds for the purchase or erection of a
Catholic church! to be exclusively devoted
to Italians and Italian speaking people.
They also djesire an Italian school;
the teaching! in which may serve to
elevate the jpiinds of their children, and
bring tbeminto line with the new genera
tion which is springing up in America.
The picnic of yesterday was one of the
means suggested for raising funds, and, as
far as it vpent, it was eminently successful.
The arrangements were under the control of
the Itajnan congregation, of which Joseph
C. Cnheo is President and F. Bonistalli
Vice IPresident The committee consisted
of Mfssrs. J. C. Cuneo, F. Bonistalli,
Pietry Montraverda, Antonio Montraverda,
G. Df scalzzi, Carlo Gambogi, E. Malatesta,
Pietrp Debe, Giovanni Debe, Pietro Bacci
galuJp! and Joseph Penalla, Secretary of the
congregation. The old Boyal Band was in
attendance, and kept the dancers merrily
engaged all the afternoon. The playing of
proi. jjoccarati on' the clarionet was very
fjrie, but that to Pittsburg music lovers goes
-waiuuub saying.
THE SWAETHY CAVAMEES.
Goodly piles of watermelons, oranges', ba-
jviuMuuunuitam many Kinus eioou De
ath the trees, and duskv matrons, with
;reat gipsy eyes and glittering teeth, served
ift soft drinks enough to melt the heart of
captain wishart Evervwhere eav
'roups chatted pleasantly in the musical
r"lingua" of the sunlit South: and there was
that indescribable grace about the swarthy

ce cream or oranges, which one sees only in
lrisnmen, bpamardsand Italians.
Bev. Giacomo Annovazzi,who is to be the
Eastor of the futurechurcfa, was present; and
ere were also Kev. Drs. "Wall and McDon
ald and Father Molyneux, from St Paul's
Cathedral, chatting 'with President Cuneo
in the purest Italian.
"Everyone must grant," said President
Cuneo, '"that the objects we are fighting for
namely, a national church and a school,
are praiseworthy objects. Understand,
however, that we "don't particularly want to
build a church or school. If we can buy or
lease two suitable buildings they will suffice
for the present "We have made a good deal
of money in the past two months, and this
picnic will help to bring in a heap more.
All the fruit and soft drinks, as well as the
lunch, have been donated by Italians or
friendly Irish. The people who are run
ning the booths do so voluntarily and with
out recompense."
Asked whether the fete reminded him of
one of his native "festa campestre," Mr.
Cuneo said: "In a measure it does. The
men and women are the same; it is the sur
roundings that differ. We cannot smell
the orange blossom here, nor do we drink
catarha, or vino d'Aste, as in the old conn
try, but still we are just as merry and just
as Italian as ever we were in our native
vineyards."
ITALIAN FESTXVAIA
"What sort of affairs are your Italian
picnics. President?"
"Well, there are two distinct sort of festa.
There are the city festivals and the country
festivals. Of the former I know very little;
of the latter I will describe the chief feat
ures. Every little village in Italy has its
'padrone,' or patron saint The hamlet I
come from near Genoa honors St Joseph,
after whom I am named. Once every year,
on its patron's feast day, each village
throws work aside and makes
merry. The. bagpipes, our great
country instrument, is brought out, and
tbe piper plays a 'giga,' which is a dance
almost exactly similar to what the Irish call
a jig. Sometimes the old fo'lks join in, and
as the 'giga' is too lively lor them a
'luschindrina,' or species of quadrille is
started. If the village is a large one, a
clarionet player accompanies the bagpipes;
but the peasant thinks the pipes the most
musical of all instruments. Its sound is re
markably like the squeaking of a lively
young pig, whose inclinations and tail are
drawn in opposite directions. TThe refresh
ments at the 'festa' consist of the wines I
have mentioned, and also 'gelate,' or all
species of iced eatables. Peddlers attend
with bright ribbons for the girls; and not
uufrequentiy the young men engage in
wrestling and running contests. That is
something what the old country pic-'
nics, as yon call them, are lifee."
EMIGRANTS FEOJI THE FAKSIS.
The shrewd President said that among
all the Italians in Allegheny county
scarcely ten were born in any city or large
town in Italy. With a lew exceptions, our
whole Italian population springs from the
irining auu peasant classes, tv iiab is true
I Allegheny county, says Mr. Cuneo, is
so true ot the unitca states, xne emi
ant Italians do not come from the cities,
nseauentlv we have no razv "lazarone"
om Naples and Borne; bnt the sturdy
ouutaineer or the Appenines, ana the nou
t farmers of Northern and "Western Italy.
"But." it was objected, "how do you ac-
unt for the fact that your peasants take
readily to city .lire over here, and sell
ananas and icecream, as if they never
.lowed or pruned?"
" that is," replied Mr. Cuneo. "because
hen these emigrants land in New York
hey see many of their fellow-countrymen
ngagea in those particular trades and thus
all into the same line of business them
elves. There are many Italian farmers,
owever, especially in New Jersey.
The picnic was kept up till a late hour.
.rhen the illuminated grove presented its
sual romantic appearance. The "testa
was perfectly orderly throughout the day,
ind its success demonstrates ciearlv that the
Lilian is a good manager and a thorough
igntleman.

TWO POLICEMEN SUSPENDED.
Result at an la vetllcatlon by Oloror Pear
son Last Evening.
The conduct of three members of the
poljce force of Allegheny was investigated
last evening by Mayor Pearson, and two
officers were indefinitely suspended.
On the morning of "Wednesday, August
21, Officers GeorgeHolmes, Jalm Schultz
and Bobert Moreland were on duty at the
oil refinery fire in the Fifth ward. A man
named "Wagner passed throngh the lines
and began to distribute tobies to the fire
men. Officer Schultz objected, and told
"Wagner to take a walk, as he was in
terfering with the work of the firemen.
Louis Jones interrupted Schultz, who
was in plain clothes, and told the of
ficer to mind his own business. Schultz
threatened to arrest Jones, whereupon the
Istter infoimed the officer that it would
take four like him to perform that feat
The two men clutched, but were separated
by other policemen. A few minutes later
Schultz broke away from his associate
officers, and with his mace in his hand,
attacked Jones and beat him severely.
Lieutenant McNemery arrived at that mo
ment and placed both Jones and Schultz
under arrest for disorderly conduct
When Mayor Pearson learned of the affair
he temporarily suspended Schultz, Holmes
and Moreland. Holmes was acting as a
lieutenant at the time, and the two other
men were under his orders.
At the investigation last evening testi
mony was given by the accused officers "and
by Jones and "Wagner. The two latter ex
pressed their opinion that the policemen
were intoxicated. Mayor Pearson said,
alter the hearing, that he did not believe
that the officers were drunk, hut he was
satisfied that they had taken too many
drinks. Officer Moreland acknowledged
that he had taken several glasses of beer.
Mayor Pearson suspended Schultz and
Holmes indefinitely, which is considered
equivalent to a discharge. The case of
Officer Moreland was held 'for further in
quiry. John Schultz is one of the oldest
officers on the Allegheny police force, and
has done much good work.

Interesting History of tbe Popular Irish
Order in This County.
EECOLTiECTIONS OP THE FIRST PAEADB
By 9 o'clock last evening U arrange
ments had been completed for the Hiber
nian parade that will be held to-day. The
members of the order will assemble at
Hibernian Hall, on "Wylie avenue, at 12:15
F. ir., when they will form into line for a
parade throngh the principal streets to tbe
Union depot Several
bands will accompany
the parade to the pic
nic grounds. The
parade and general
management of the
picnic will be in
charge of Patrick Fal
lon, who is Grand
Marshal, assisted by
B. B. McKeirney,
Chief of Staff. The
A Hielnrt MflFB h n 1
Chief Jllarshat JPalnck ,,. , .
Fallon. are Owen Murphy and
P. M. Connolly; Adjutant, J. J. McGuire.
"When the train reaches East Liberty the
members of the order will form into line
again,on Penn and Frankstown avenues, at
250 p. M. All the principal thoroughfares
of East Liberty to Silver Lake grove will be
traversed. "When the grounds are reached
the members will assemble at the dancing
platform to listen to an oration by "W. T.
Wilhere, or Philadelphia, who is President
of the order in the United States. The
afternoon will be spent in dancing and
sports.
The-Hibernian order has been in exis
tence in Pittsburg since 1865, the first di
vision, a branch of New York, being formed
in Brownstown, Southside, with Dr. Don
nely, of Grant street, as President The
chartered members numbered 100. From
this first division has sprung the various or
ganizations until the' present numerical
strength of tbe order
here is 5,000 in good
standing. Several
years ago a rupture
took place in the
order on a matter of
government, when a
large number resigned
and formed an inde
pendent lodge. Mr.
C. Horgan, speaking
about the matter yes
terday, said "that the
difficulty was of such
a trivial nature, that
there will be a reaffila
tion between tbe two
factions, oylvest

and county
ventions. After him the following
gentlemen became incumbents of
the office: James Tierney, James Davery,
Sylvester Daly, James Friel, four terms,
but died on the Atlantic while in office.
Colonel A. B. Hayden completed the unex
pired term. James E. Moran, C. Horgan,
he held it for five years; James McCormack,
James F. Scott who has been in for five
years and is still in office. James Jackson
is Chief State Delegate, and Con Horgan
National Supervisor.
The organization has nine military com
panies, fully equipped and well disciplined.
Each company numbers from 70 to 100 mem
bers, who are under the charge of an officer.
The various companies go through the com-'
plicated drill practice in a most creditable
manner. The Military Committee is pre
sided over by Thomas J. McCann. Mr. Con
Horgan said: "Our order is thoroughly
patriotic, its purposes are lofty. It ha
strangled in the past to help a weak and
down-trodden people to grasp the scepter of
internal authority, ana to once more groom
its own interests. The past may have been
dark to old Ireland, but the future will be
glorious for the country our hearts beat in
anguish for."

The following special was received last
night from "Washington in regard to the
Campbell investigation: '
A letter received at the Treasury Depart
ment from District Attorney Lyon, explains
that press of business has prevented him from
complying with tbe request for additional In
formation, but that he will write the depart
ment farther on the subject within a few days,
days. The Intimation by officials of the de
partment that there is no machinery avail
able for the arrest and return of Immigrants
found to have come to this country
under contract, has excited considerable
curiosity among lawyers and labor advocates,
it looks as though the law was deliberately
constructed to prevent the return of such im
migrants. Under the law, Immigrants who are
-..uncuvu 1. auu go ineir way cannot do
dealt with, though the law prescribes that they
shall be taken into custody and returned to tbe
country whence they came, at the expense of
the owner of the vessel which brought them
here. Nothing ot the kind can be dona with
out due process, and there is really no author
ity who can act in the matter. Attorneys of
this city suggest, however, that suph Immi
grant can be made a party to the suit against the
principals and can by this means be frightened
into going back to his own country of his own
volition.
A DISORDERLY PJCXIC.
Several Fights nt the Itoss Grove Affair of
Teterdny.
Officer J. J. Finney, special officer of the
"West Penn Bailroad, last night brought
Michael Maguire to Central station on a
charge of felonious assault upon Lizzie
Johnson, a resident of Third avenue. Ma
guire was arrested at Boss Grove, where the
assault occurred and where the Milk Deal
ers'Association held a picnic yesterday. It
is alleged that Maguire struck the woman
with a handy-billy, cutting a big gash in
her head, without provocation.
The officer stated that just before the 9
o'clock train left the grove a free fight 00
curred, in which one man had his head split
open with a loaded cane and several others
were badly battered up. The officer said
that, though small, the crowd at the picnio
was the toughest and there was more disor
der than at any held this season at the
grove. The picnic did not break up nntil
