mm wmm? THE " PITTSBURW DISPATCH, THURSDAY,. Q -SEPTEMBER';" 12, , 1889. SOISTITESEC RETS A Eeturned Diplomat Talks of the Austrian Court. THE KEILEY IJIBBOGLIO Of Grover Cleveland's Begime 'cially Ventilated. Offi- AMEBICAN MINISTERS SET ASIDE. HowanUnconTentional Democrat Seriously Affronted Queen Victoria. BEEEZT TIETS TJrOX STATECRAFr Mr. "Walter B. Seaife, of Allegheny, ex Deputy Consul General at Vienna, returned irom Europe last Sunday after a sojourn of four years and a half abroad, devoted to diplomacy and exhaustive scientific and literary research principally the latter. Mr. Seaife arrived in Pittsburg last Tues day, and is now indulging in a period of rest necessitated by a visit of ten days to the Paris Exposition and the subsequent ocean voyage. He was seen last evening by a Dispatch representative, to whom he chatted entertainingly as to his impressions of the Old "World. He merits distinction as being the only American scholar who has succeeded in wresting a doctor of philoso- phy degree from the ultra-conservative Uni versity of Vienna, the foremost institution of learning in Europe, its curriculum being placed before those of even the great Ger man universities. Mr. Seaife speaks with great enthusiasm of studies abroad, but said that he had to overcome a prodigious amount of Austrian red tape in order to get his thesis accepted by the University, as he found a great prejudice existant against American col leges. Finally, after tbe exercise of con siderable practical diplomacy, he was regu larly enrolled as one ot the 6,000 students, and subsequently received his degree with unusual eclat. trxriTBLISHED HISTOKY. "You were Deputy Consul General at Vienna during the celebrated 'Keily' inci dent, were you not, Mr. Seaife?" asked the reporter. "Yes. I was at Vienna when Mr. Keiley's baggage arrived there. It was in the first year of Mr. Cleveland's adminis tration, and Mr. Keiley had been rebuffed at the Vatican and had retired in good order to Paris to await the trend of events. He was so certain that Secretary Bayard would be able to place him at the Austrian court that be shipped all his bacgage to Vienna, and to my certain knowledge it remained there several weeks perhaps months. It is of course true that the Department of State attempted to smother the details of the diplomatic intrigue by which the Austrian court was seriously offend ed, and the Austrian Minister at Washington practically ruined by his superserviceable friendship lor Secretary Bayard, but as my knowledge of the details of that unique chapter in the archives of the American State Department was im parted to me by Viennese, I tee no reason why I should feel a delicacy in relating tbe facts. I do not think the American public is acquainted with the truth of the Keiley matter. "The Austrian court refused to receive Keiley as the American Minister simply and solely because he had been rejected by the Vatican, a friendly power. It was even considered tbat an affront had been offered Austria by Secretary Bayard in the attempt to place Keiley at Vienna. It was in this emergency with a great clamor going on in Washington that the Austrian Ambassador, Baron Schaeffer, came forward with a suggestion to Secretary Bayard, that persons of Semitic origin were not received at the Austrian Court, Mr. Keiley's wife happening to come under that category The hint was meant to afford Mr. Bayard an excuse that would serve all around. But Mr. Bayard straightway rushed into print over the matter, and tbe general impression was that Mr. Keiley's wife was the insufferable obstacle. Then the Austrian Government learned of the in cautious action ot its Ambassador and he was recalled and pensioned, action equiva lent to political and social disgrace. AaiEBIOAlf DIPLOMATS DISCUSSED. "At the time of the discussion of the Samoan muddle the German papers were full of sarcastic references to Commissioner Kasson on account of his article on tbe Samoan policy, and his simultaneous ap pointment by President Harrison as one of the Commissioners. The Berlin papers even hinted that the matter had so strained tbe relations between tbe two countries as to almost constitute a casus belli. Bismarck finally had to exert his influence to quiet the bitter things said of us. "Colonel F. D. Grant has been very cor dially received by the Austrian Court, and the Lord Chamberlain, Prince Hohenlohe, has paid Colonel and Mrs. Grant extraordi nary attentions. Colonel Grant is busily studying German and is getting beyond the rudiments. I could relate scores of humor ous instances of the aburdity of sending ministers to foreign courts, who are unable to converse in the vernacular as the case may be, or even to speak French, the uni versal diplomatic language. American Ministers are at an unfortunately depreci ated estimation in Europe. "Niggardly al lowances and, frequently, limited private means place many of them at a social dis count. The fact tbat the average Amer ican diplomat has no lingual accomplish ments is a source of amazement to "Europeans. They sav: 'Your nation has a surplus of 93, 000, 000." "Why don't you spend some of it in educating the diplomats you send us?' Most of tne men who are ap pointees of tbe State Department are un able to distinguish a protocol from a cod fish. Not only are many deficient in diplo matic etiquette, but in recent years some unpardonable gaucheries have been com mitted by Americans in official position. One of President Cleveland's most promi nent appointees managed, in the course of a single state reception at the Court of St. James, to ofler two of the gravest personal affronts to the Queen herself. The matter was carefully smoothed over, and was only condoned upon the humiliating plea of ignorance. U. S. MEJISTERS PASSED OVEB. "It is a fact that if a United States Minis ter is in the course of an audience with any official in the courts ot Europe, and any "Embassador chances to be announced, the American must bow himself out with scant ceremony, as being a humbler mortal. The only exception to this rule is tbe German Court. By an imperial rule the American Minister is exactly upon the same footing as the representatiue of any other power. The story as related to me is that when Bancroft, the historian, was United States Minister to Germany, he was in the process of an audience with Prince Bismarck when the British Embassador was announced. The dignified American was compelled to retiie abruptly with his business unfinished. Bismarck was a great admirer of Bancroft and heartily disliked the English Em bassador, and was so impressed by the in justice of the rules of etiquette that he personally laid the matter before Emperor Wilhelm, and tbe latter issued an edict placing Ministers extraordinary and pleni potentiary upon the same court level as Embassadors." Mr. Seaife has not yet adjusted his plans for the future, but has in preparation several scientific and literary matters of importance. A QDIET WEDDING. A Yonns Couple Made Happier by Meant of the Sacred Bun. Miss Bertha Buhl, the daughter of Mrs. Lizzie Buhl, of 417 Penn avenue, was mar ried last eveninc to Mr. A. W. Kinney. The wedding, which took place about 9 o'clock at the residence ot the bride, was simple and unostentatious, but nevertheless very enjoyable. The ceremony was performed by Pastor Buff, of the Smithfield M. E. Church, and about 0 select guests were present to con gratulate the blushing couple on their happy union. The groom looked manly and handsome in a black evening suit, while the bride was the picture of youth and beauty in her dark blue broadcloth traveling dress. The decorations throughout the house were simple and tasteful. Several elegant baskets ot flowers had been ordered from the florists, and helped to cast a beautiful fragrance round about Numerous presents of a beautiful and useful nature were re ceived by the couple. Silver sets, hand some furniture snits, and various articles incidental to domestic life were quite numer ous. Both bride and groom come from highly respectable families. The relatives of Mr. A. W. Kinney, reside in Allee'neny, but he is connected with the firm of Kelly & Jones in Greensburg. The newly married pair will spend their honeymoon in the East, and will then settle down to domestic life in Greensburg. FATHER BRENKAN BURIED. His Fnneral Was Ibe Lnrgcst Ever Known in Mnnsfleld. Father Brennan, late pastor of St Luke's Church in Mansfield, was buried at Crafton yesterday. His fnneral was the largest ever known in that section of the country. Bishop Phelan officiated and over 50 mem bers of ths clergy were present The celebrant was Father Kane; deacon, Father Nash; sub-deacon, Father W. J. Tobin; master of ceremonies, Father Ken nov. Father Brennan was a very popular pas tor and the members of his congregation with many other sorrowing friends followed his body to the grave. DICK AND MATT. The National Chairman and His Son Among the Politicians. Senator Matthew S. Quay visited the city yesterday morning, coming up from Beaver on the 9 o'clock train. He took a carriage and drove directly to the house of N. P. Beed, where he spent several hours and enjoyed dinner.- During the afternoon he went with James S. McKean and called upon a number of friend;. His son, Richard Quay, was also in the city, taking dinner at the Hotel Duquesne. he Senator returned home yesterday evening. HITHER AtfD THITHER. Movements of Pittsburccra and Others of Wide Acquaintance. 'Squire Herman Handel, who just escaped Atlantic City hotels and floods at the same time, said last night that ex-Governor Pattison and he had a talk tocether a week ago on the political situation. Governor Pat tison said when the lssno comes too Demo cratic and Republican parties are supposed to come face to face, bnt the actual fact is the Republican party can wrap Itself clean around its opponent. Of coarse, the only tactics productive of anv resnlt will be those which will divide tbe Republicans. This intimation that Mr. Pattison would not object to being tbe party candidate it as related qmte pleasantly by the 'Squire, who is himself an old Wallace man. Dr. George "Woods smiled from ear to ear when asked if the Equitable Insurance Company, of New York, really intended to build a towering "cranite monument to tbe commercial progress of Pittsburg." He said tbe President of tbe company bad been here and the matter had been talked of and he. Dr. Woods, had urged the erection of such build ing, but that was the latitude and longitnde of tbe whole matter. He thought the composi tion of tbe reporter who conceived the "monu ment" abont o per cent imagination. Martin Schneider, representative from Brooklyn Lodge No. 401, to the meeting of the Supreme Lodge of tbe Knights and Ladies of Honor, held in Cleveland this week, spent a few minutes in Pittsburg last evening on his way borne. He said tbat the convention in tbe Lake City was the largest ever held. New York State has 12,000 members of that order, and sent the largest delegation to the meeting of the Supreme Lodge. St John, who in this case is not the precursor nut rather the follower, arrived from bt. Louis last night over the Panhandle to see thatGandaur wins the rare on Friday next. When pointed out at the Union depot as the Prohibition candidate for the Presidency, he at once fell below par in the estimation of those who were told he was a great believer in water. They w ere principally opponents of the Brooks law. L. H. "Williams has been elected Presi dent of the Sewickley Valley Dramatic Club. The other officers are: T. W. Nevin, Vice President: David Warden. Corresponding Sec retary; R. P. Nevin, Jr., Recording Secretary; James C Chaplin, Treasurer: Board of Man agers. Miss Carrio B. Whiting, MUs Lizzie K Dickson, Frank E. Richardson, Ed Carpenter and James U. Chaplin. County Commissioner Mercer states that in his 11 years' experience in the office be never saw as little bnslness as has cropped out since August 2. Either people have more money or they value it higher and so pay taxes promptly ana gei ineir o per cent aiscount. The clerical force has been kept busy, but thero have been comparatively few appeals from assessments, "William McCreeryleft for New York lastnigbt on private business. When asked how the State Commission was getting along be said that not being a member of it he did not know, bnt hopea the money would soon be paid over and all settled satisfactorily, other wise somebody in Johnstown would raise a howl. "Water Commissioner Miller, of Denver, Col., a prominent Republican, is back in Pitts burg at his old home. Mr. Miller represented the Twenty-ninth ward in Councils in 1877. Last year he won fame by defeating Mayor Lee, of Denver, on the water supply scheme. "William McCreery left last evening for a visit of four or Ave days in New York. Be fore going he said that he would not give his letter from Governor Beaver for publication until, at least, after his return. The letter, be observes, is rather interesting. Rev. George Pnrves, D. D., of this city, will deliver an address at the twenty-second annual convention of the Young Men's Christian Association of Pennsylvania in New Castle, Oc tober 10-13. A large delegation from this city will be present. Philip Smith (Pittsburg Phil) arrived in his old home, where he previously earned S9 Ser week in a cork factory. He started for ewYork and the racing circuit again last night, jnst about $00,000 ahead so far this sea son. Jay Cooke, the Philadelphia banker who bad such a discouraging experience some years ago while trying to float Northern Pa cific bonds, passed throueh Pittsburg last mgnt on tne limited going West. The burial of SheriffMcCandless' little son will take place at sunset this evening. Ser vices will be held, however, at 4 o'clock at the family residence, corner of Center avenue and Dinwiddle street, Joseph L. Lowry, late mechanical en ginner of the water works, is slowly recovering from a long and severe spell of sickness, and uaaivi-emiy patented some improvements in machinery. Mrs. McQuay, a daughter of the Chi cago banker Sneil, who was murdered some time ago, passed tbrongh Pittsburg last night on the limited on her way home from Europe. Mrs. James A. McNally and family, of Bidwell street, Allegheny, after a sojourn of two months at the Maple Park Hotel, Ebens burg, bavo returned home. F. H. Stratton and John Cavanaugh, of the Westingbonse Company, have returned home from a snmmer trip to Europe. Samuel Hamilton, who has been in New York for the last few weeks, arrived home yesterday. Matt "Weis and his friends have sailed for home, and will arrive In New York on Sun day. A. Murdoch, of Smithfield street, has i gone to Gettysburg, along with the other vets. J NOT BUfflG BOATS. A Significant Sign of the Times Down Along Water Street, CONFIRMING THE COMBINATION. Stories About the Wealthy River Operators in this City. Coal WHAT IS THE FUTURE FOR CONSUMERS The filing of inventories goes on among the river coal operators, preparatory to the huge and simultaneous sell-out. ' "What will consumers do when this Boston syndicate gets all the coal fn the vicinity of Pittsburg into its hands? was the question discussed by some business men on Fenn avenue the other evening. Said one: "There can be but little doubt the combine will be effected, and even Com modore "Walton will listen to the song. He has a good deal of flesh to carry about, and while he may not sell nor join the syndicate absolutely, he will be willing to profit by its operations if he can do so without so much hustling as is necessary for him and his partner these hot days." Said another: "I know that Horner & Roberts are making a complete inventory of everything they have gotten in the coal mining and trade way, even down to the number of lashings on their boats and the pounds to the yard of rails of their coal rail ways. They are not that particular in an ordinary taking of stock. It's going to take abouv $-0,000,000 to effect the combine, but Boston is rich and it has no further outlet for its cash in old channels. Government 4's are not worth buying at the premium de manded, and they will get less and less valuable each year as they approach time of payment. QUIT BUYING BOATS. Still another man said: "I have known for some time, knew it months before I heard of the dicker between our coal opera tors and the Boston people. Something was in th wind, because I saw coal operators were not buying coal boats to any extent worth speaking of. It was evident to my mind that there was a continirencvof come kind expected, and they did not propose to be burdened with stock on which there might be depreciation. It is true, there were some coal boats sold, but at $300 in stead of 5500 each, and where transactions took place on this basis it was a case of 'must' on both sides." Chorus "But if the combination is effected, what will the consumers do then? Poor things!" The meeting soon decided that this was the most easily solved problem of all pro pounded the consumers might take another reef in their clothing to accommo date their decreased stomachs. The combi nation would be like that of the Standard Oil Company and would regulate price of fuel tosuit itselr. The consumer of natural gas might find that kicking against meters was kicking against the pricks, and would soon give over to nurse his bruised heels. In fact, some seemed to think that the alle gorical serpent said -to have invaded Eden was nothing more nor less than the great monopolistic anaconda that seems likely to reach its fnll development in this century. It is a heel bruiser. There were others, however, in the gath ering who thought the combination might not increase the cost of fuel; in fact might possibly lessen it in order to squeeze out small operators, ana seep them out just as a few omnibus stores in a city kill out no tion dealers, gents' furnishinggoods dealers, shoemakers and small dealers, hatters, etc., by doing business -on a scale on which 2 per cent net profit equals 100 per cent on small individual operations.' TVHEBE IT WILL PAT. Again it was argued that coal could be produced much cheaper by the combination than at present. For instance, fewer super intendents would be needed, and in this item alone there would be a saving of 575,000 a year, a fair income for even a coal king; aud it was supposed that savings of this sort might run into hundreds of thou sands of dollars. To an unsophisticated person up a tree, it seems strange that an aggregation of talent and capital like that represented by the Pittsburg coal trade would for a moment think of supinely surrendering the reins and giving up the struggle to a com bine. It is argued tbat even the Boston syndicate cannot fight the English trust of Alabama and Tennessee below Memphis, even thongh the former secure control of the Kanawha country, which, of course, it will do. It then follows that Piittsburg and all the cities on the Ohio and upper Mississippi and Missouri rivers, combined with the discharge of many men, must contribute to the profits of the syndi cate. It isn't likelv the Alabama and Ten. nessee combine would attempt to send coal to Cairo or Louisville, so those towns, with their more northerly neighbors, would be at the mercy of the Northern combine. Is it said that a dam below the "trap" at Sewickley, one below Beaver shoals, and a canal from the north of the Beaver to Lake Erie, canable of floating deep water craft, can all be constructed for less than $10,000, 000, and this improvement would add two months a year to the navigation of the Ohio, as the principal troubles of navigators lie between here and Smith's Ferry. It is possible that the shadow of $10;000, 000 is so somber as to frighten away all the Pittsburg capital interested? To await Gov ernment action is like awaiting the mil leninm, which has set so many people crazv in the last thousand years. It isn't Colonel Sellers, but common sense, that says there are millions for Pittsburg in a canal to Lake Erie. HELD ON SUSPICION. William Murphy Arrested oa a Charge , of Robbery. Detective Demmel arrested William Murphy for robbery. Murphy is one of the yonng men who is accused of holding up and robbing a young Hebrew named Her man Jacobs in an alley off Fifth avenue, last Sunday night. Jacobs was accom panied bv his sweetheart, and the thieves also attempted to rob by stealing her finger rings but were foiled. James Mar was arrested for tbe same offense on Monday but there were two more of the gang who escaped. THE PfiOGRAMME FIGilT. Two Boys Arrested for Distributing Papers Ontsldc tho Show. Last night Joseph Brown and Bichard Barker, two boys, were arrested near the Exposition building for distributing pro grammes on Duquesne way. They were taken to the Central station, when a charge of disorderly conduct was lodged against them. Their employer bailed them at once. One of the boys arrested last night said that an officer had used his cane to strike a programme from the hand of a lady to whom he had handed it yesterday ' after noon. To Await the Injunction. The Board of. Viewers had arranged for a meeting this morning to hear the balance of the claims for damages by the widening of Diamond street, but on account of the in junction filed by tbe Howard estate heirs the meeting has' been postponed until tbe Court passes upon .the injunction. Mb. Neit. Dobeas", of Cambria City, Pa., was burned in the eye" by a flash from hot metal, causing so much contraction as to cross his eye over one-fourth inch and partially cover the sight. Dr. Sadler, 804 i-enn ave., has remedied tne aimcuity by an operation. HOW IT IS DONE. The Junction Rond nt a Great DIsndvnn. Inge In Using Inclines The Danger From Accidents Is Constant. The manner in which the Pittsburg Junc tion Bailroad is obliged to ferry its cars on the Allegheny always attracts considerable attention from those who happen to be near the river. The details of the method of the transferring are quitejinteresting. It is well known tbat the Junction Bailroad is unable to send its cars from Thirty-third street to Thirteenth street by rail, owing to the oppo sition of the Allegheny Valley road, which controls the tracks for a considerable dis tance along the river front. To obviate this difficulty the Junction has, one might say, built a railway on water, and the cars are brought down to Thirteenth street and returned again in spite of the opposition of the Allegheny Valley people. Two inclines have been built at Thirty-sixth street and at Thirteenth street respectively, and on these the tracks have been laid. The upper one, which is constructed in what is called Clark's Hole in Clark's mill, has a slope of about 3 feet in a distance of 100, while the grade on the lower incline 'is about i feet in the same distance. As can be imagined, considerable care must be taken in lowering cars down this grade, or in taking them up, as acci dents are very liable to occur. The cars are carried up and down-the river on a barge 200 feet in length, 22" feet in width, and about four feet in depth. It is connected with the incline by means of a movable table or apron, so placed on wheels that.it can be run up and down the incline, and adjusted to the stage of the water. Six short cars, or five long ones, can be carried at one trip. The large cars have a capacity of 50,000 pounds, and they average in weight 22,000, so the burden carried by one barge at one trip is often 330,000 pounds or 156 tons. The expense in trans ferring cars bv this method is nearly double what it would be in carrying them by rail for the same distance. Very few accidents of any importance have o'ecurred since this method of operation has been put into effect. There is, however, always borne danger. In taking the cars up the incline two, or at tbe most three, are handled at one time, and full steam is put on to make the ascent. In coming down the grade every brake is locked on the cars and the steam brake is utilized on the engine to prevent a disastrous descent.. The towboat Return, which was injured in the explosion, has been entirely refitted and is doing the hauling. In this way merchandise ot all tinds is carried for points in the heart of the city, and the manufacturing establishments of Zug, Mcintosh, Shoenberger and Brown are also attended to. The disadvantages of the system are, however, evident at a glance. A WORTHY OBJECT. Daughters of Rebecca Will Start Homo for Widows and Orphnns. t A convention of delegates from the L O. O. F., Daughters of Eebecca, was held in the hall on North Diamond street, Alle gheny, yesterday. Ex-Postmaster John A. Myler acted as Chairman, and 72 delegates were present. The object of the meeting was to establish a home for the widows and orphans of Odd Fellows in "Western Pennsylvania. It was decided to call the institution by the above name. The office will be either in Pittsburg or Allegheny. Tbe corporation will be composed of representatives of the Grand and subordinate lodges and other lodges of the Daughters of Bebecca. An application will soon be made for a charter to the courts. The night session of the convention was occupied in adopting the new constitution and bylaws to govern the proposed "Widows and Orphans' Home. It is proposed to build an edifice to cost about $100,000, and inclose it in a plot of ground containing at least ten acres. STILL THEI COME. Another Gang of Law Breakers Enter Riv erside for Long Terms. Fourteen prisoners were received at tbi Biverside Penitentiary yesterday.

European Window Glass Workers Flocking to This Country. ONE HD5DRED MORE AREEN ROUTE. Manufacturers Trying to Secure Them to Start Up Non-Union. 0THEK INTERESTING LAB0E ITEMS From present indications an unlooked for change may occur in the window glass strike. The city is rapidly filling up with foreign glassblowers who seem to be in strait ened circumstances, and want work very badly. It is generally understood that sev eral manufacturers have had agents looking for the men in the hope that they could be secured to go to work. The majority of them are not bound by the rules of L. A. 300, the window glass workers' association, and il is likely that an effort will be made by one or two manufacturers to start up non union. This would break the strike as far as these manufacturers are concerned. In the current issue of the National Qlass Budget is an editorial giving a list of 77 names of Belgians who are known to have come to this city since July 1. This is only about half the number of foreigners who came here since spring, and does not in clude the 26 Englishmen who came over in May to work at Jeanette. THIS IS AIT OLD 8TOBY. About a month ago The Dispatch pub lished a statement that 160 blowers were on their way over to this country. President Campbell of the association was seen at the time about the matter, and said they were members of L. A. 300 who had gone home to spend the summer. The latter statement is contradicted by the Budget. Following are a few extracts from the latter's investigation: When the Budget announced that large numbers of Belgians had some and were still coming to this country, President Campbell only sneered at the information. With tbe In formation which we are now able to give it would seem that President Campbell did pri vately know that large numbers of Belgians bad come and were coming to this country, but permitted himself to belittle the public an nouncement of this fact. In the list of 77 names it has been found that the men are not men who had been here before and went home to SDecd their vacation. They have come in small groups and are still coming in a steady stream. It is safe to assume tbat In addition to those whose names we give, there aro many others scattered over the country. A SCAECITT OP BLCrWEBS. ''We are not prepared to say they are im ported. In fact wo believe those Belgians came ovsr voluntarily on their own resources. But their coming is due to a scarcity of American blowers, and the scarcity of American blowers is due to the narrow policy pursued by L. A. 30), in restricting American boys lrom learning tbe trade. This policy has led to the necessity of violating the anti-contract labor law by bnnginR over the English blowers to Jean nctte. It has led to adeluce of foreign blow er at a time when L. A. 300 is on a strike. To ths list of 77 blowers is added the names of those 30 or more Belgian blowers who came shortly after tne English workmen were brought to Jeannette, and ot whose arrival vtry little was know n at tbe time, fwenty-six Belgian blowers arrived In this cly last Friday. Those who are here state tbat 10 more are expected to arrive in this country tomorrow. They state that all are coming on their own resource?, and that there are hun dreds more who intend coming to this country as soon as they secure sufficient funds. An irtmigration fever seems to have been engen dered among the Belgian window blowers through tbe news that there is a great scarcity of workmen in this country. Unlike the En gjsh blowers, many of whom were assisted by IiA.360fof Sunderland, England, these men ajo coming as voluntary immigrants. MINE ENGINEEES TO MEET. ttcea Received Abont tho Annual Meet ing of the Institute. The members of the American Institute of Mining Engineers in this city received notices yesterday for the thirty-fifth annual meeting of the institute, to be held at Ot tawa, Ontario, beginning Tuesday, October 1. There are about a dozen members of the society in this city, and about half of them generally attend these annual gatherings. Tbe convention will be opened with a business session Tuesday evening. On "Wednesday there will be an excursion, by rail and river, to tbe phosphate mines, on the Lievres river. In the evening another session will be held. On Thursday papers will be read by different members on mine engineering. On Friday visits will be made to points ot interest around Ottawa. Ex cursions will also be arranged to the Sud bury Copper Mines and the works of the Canada Copper Company, on the Canadian Pacific road, and the silver region on the north shore of Lake Superior. A trip will also be taken to the asbestos mines at Wet ford and Coleraine, the Oxford Copper Mines, Rockland Slate Quarries, Capelton Chemical Works, etc. THE SH0ERS' STRIKE SETTLED. They Got tho Advance In Wages and the Horse Owners to Pay It. The horseshoers' strike is settled. A compromise was effected last night by the master shoers granting the advance in wages, and the journeymen withdrew the demand for shorter hours on Saturday.

A. 7484, ice drivers and helpers, has issued a call for a meeting ot the assembly to be held in Seibert's Hall, Penn avenue, this even ing.

Chambers ot McKee'e Employes Want to bo Paid for All Work. President Smith, of the American Flint Glass Workers' Association, went to Jean ette yesterday to settle a strike among the gathering boys employed at Chambers & jIcKee's flint honse at that place.

How the Exposition and the City Last at Least 81 00 Yesterday. Alexander "Wilson arrived in Pittsburg yesterday afternoon from Geauga station on the Southwest branch, probably to see the Exposition and other lions and tigers of the city. Realizing that his outfit was incom plete without a watch, he strolled into a place where jewelry is sold near Twelfth, and Liberty streets and invested $14 60 in a timepiece. Wishing to appreciate the full joy of possession, he took it out to view a number of times on his road to Eleventh and Penn, where he met a gruff stranger, who said: "Lemme look at that watch." The tone of authority in which the stranger spoke gave "Wilson a tremor, and he handed out the watch, which the author itative stranger quietly detached from the chain aud put in his pocket. "Gimme back that watch," said Mr. "Wil son, finding that he had made a mistake. "Shut tip," said the bulldozing stranger, "or I'll swat you in the jaw," and he walked away. Mr. "Wilson complained to -the police, and wended his way back to the Union station, where he took the next train for TJnion town, and the Exposition is certainly (14 CO out, li not less. A few hours after Officer John Moran ar rested a man named John Keefe near the depot on a charge of suspicion, and a stray watch was found in his possession when taken to the Central station, so that Mr. Wilson can regain the investment by prov ing property. A gang of thieves and bunko ists is bard at work in the vicinity of Union station, and although, as in this case, the officers do good work, visitors to the city should be cautious. WHY SMITH KILLED HIS WIPE. She Drove Him to tbe Crime, Be Bars, by Ber Willfulness. William Smith, the colored man who shot his wife while asleep in their home on Ful ton street and then attempted suicide, yes terday acknowledged to a reporter that he had committed the crime. He said the bad conduct of his wife drove him to the mur der. He had frequently remonstrated with her about her course, but without effect, and cautioned her against meeting another man from whom he found a letter in her posses sion. She laughed at his remonstrances, and insisted on keeping the appointment asked for a few days before the murder. On the night of the shooting he said he again talked to her about her proceedings, but she told him to shut up as she wanted to go to sleep and turned away. He then shot her and tried to kill himself, bat failed. Smith is about 31 years of age, a cook by occupation and is generally well spoken of by his acquaintances. He is now suffering from an attack of pneumpnia as well as his self-inflicted wounds, bat the physicians at Mercy Hospital think he will no doubt re cover. LAWN TENNIS CONTEST.

Young Llebaugb'i AVbd"Wn Shot at'a Picnic, Died Last Night. Adam Liebaugh, the young boy who was accidentally shot at a picnic at Wildwood, August 31, died at his home in Etna last evening. Liebaugh was an orphan 12 yean old. It seems that at the picnic one of the safe' diversions to amuse the children was target shooting. A man was instructing his son how to hold the gun. The boy was pointing it toward the target, and between their mon keying it was discharged. Liebaugh was standing behind the target, and the bullet entered his head just above the eye. No. arrests were made at the time. The Coroner will make an investigation to-day. GOING HOME FROM TIKGINIA. Ex-Senator Sabla Thinks DIcKinley Will be Elected Speaker. Ex-Senator Dwight M. Sabin, of Minne sota, passed tbrongh the city last evening on his return home from a vacation season in Virginia. He spent a day in Washington, but found few public people there. He is' looking well physically and is growing fat. He believes that Major McKinley will be elected Speaker of the House. Mahone will make a good fight for Governor, he thinks, and will probably be elected. Ex Senator Sabin says that he has found many of the old line Bourbons of Virginia now in favor of Mahone and a new deal. STRUCK BY A GRIP CAR. An Old Sinn 60 Years of Age Knocked Down on Batter Strecr. An old man 60 years of age, named Colli gan, was struck and knocked down by a Citizens' Traction car last night near the corner of Butler and Forty-fifth streets. He did not notice the approach of the car, although the gripman was ringing his gong. Colligan was struck on the side of tbe head by tbe edge of the car and hnrled violently across the street. He was picked up in a semi-unconscious condition. An examina tion of his injuries showed that he was not dangerously hurt. Crashed by a Locomotive. Patrick McDuff, a brakeman on a shifting engine in the yards of Jones & Laughlins' blast furnaces, yesterday, had his foot caught in a frog. The engine passed over him, crushing his right leg and abdomen in a horrible manner. His injuries are such that he will probably die. A Flower Pot Responsible. Henry Fcepe and "Wendolin Muebl had a little difficulty over some flower pots. Muehl claims Feepe sent him threatening letters, and so Alderman Ammon sent Feepe to jail yesterday in default of $300 bail. Arrested for Stealing.

Some Btlrringand Patriotic Speeches "Varied th'e Evening. PRINCIPLES OP THE 0EDES AS GIVEN Manchester Council No. 124, Jr. O..TJ, A. M., celebrated its, tenth anniversary with a magnificent " banquet, last evening. The spacious dining hall of the Monongahela House was crowded with the members of the branch and their numerous guests, and all did full justice to the excellent cheer placed before them. The skill. of the florist had been taxed to the utmost in making the floral decorations perfect specimens of their kind; tbe best efforts of the attendants at the Monongahela House had. been put forth to arrange every thing about the tables to the greatest ad vantage The dining hall was one mass of brilliant lights, glittering silver, fine cut glass, chinaware and all that enters to make a banquet perfect. The arrangement, the beauty and the variety of the flowers used could not have been better. Everything-had been fixed so as to charm the eye. It would be hard to say whether the grand menu prepared for the occasion appealed with more eflect to the sense of taste, than the magnificent floral decorations did to the sense of sight The most exquisite ferns, the most beautiful of tropical plants were mingled in one maze of beauty. X GBEAX ZJLYOUT. But the banquet itself, what cannot be said of it? Its preparation would have done credit to the best of Parisian cooks. Nor did the loyal sons of the Junior Order fail to do justice to 'the repast. As one course after another appeared, and there were nine of them, "they disappeared again with start ling rapidity and relish. The Mechanics had evidently come prepared, to do justice even to tbe most elaborate supper. To add effect to all this, Gaston's Orches tra was ensconced behind a mass of ferns and plants, and, while" the banquet was in prog ress, discoursed sweet music. Zhe national airs were done full credit to by the musi cians, and. they were interspersed with the finest of operatic tunes. Everything seemed to be prepared to charm the sense of those present, and to make their evening one not easily forgotten. But even the best of things must pass away, so the tables were at last cleared, the cloth removed, and the patriotic Sons of America settled down to another feast, as good, in an intellectual way, as the other had been excellent irom a physical stand point. SOME LXTZLY TOASTS. The toasts were lively and well delivered. Edward S. Deemer confined himself to "Our Order," and in the hands of Major B. O. Brynes, of Indiana fame, "Our Flag" .had an able defender. "Our National Council" was gracefully handled by Harry B. Peck. "Our Public Schools" were referred toby Hon. H. I. Gourley as the "chief "corner stone of the American Sepublic. He said: America's future depends on them. Two hundred and fifty thousand schools under the training and tuition of 300,000 teachers, are at tended by 12,000,000 children, who will In the nextgeneratfon shape the destinies of a great people, proves their importance. State Councilor Winower told how the order had been started in Philadelphia in 1BOU. "Our Principles" was the subject of Charles E. Cornelius. He said: Tf have In this country various oreanlza- tfonsof tbbseofionr-Citizens" of 'forefcrn-blrtb,' also numerous internal, oenenciai, political, military and religions societies. All the world over, the maxim which forms one of the mottoes of onr nation, "In nnion there Is strength." is fast becoming a practical principle. It ought not to be considered a strange thing that native born Americans should associate themselves together in a society, bound to gether by solemn Vows, and holding principles which they believe concern most nearly and dearly the peace, prosperity, nay. the very ex istence of the nation tbey love so well. The first four objects of the order describe a beneficial and fraternal society composed ex clusively of Americans seeking to help each other In every possible way. They breathe the true spirit of brotherhood, and recognize prac tically the maxim, "United we stand, divided we.fall." "The Bible m Our Public Schools." Bev. W. B. Covert responded to this sentiment in a pronounced, yet liberal manner. While according all the privilege of worshiping as their conscience taught, he looked upon the sacred book as indispensable to the youth of the land. All Christian religions find their basis within its covers. E. Lindsay Greer responded to the toast, "Our Subordinate Councils." GREAT MUSICAL ATTRACTIONS At H. Kleber & Bro.'. Another of those wonderful Vocalion or gans christened by Gladstone, sold by the Messrs. Kleber & Bro. to a prominent Pro testant church for use in their new and ele gant church building. The superiority and beauty of the pianos and organs sold at HIebers' throw all others completely in the shade, and intelligent, musical and well informed people prefer to deal at Klebers', knowing that the choicest and the cream of musical instruments can be had only at Klebers', 506 Wood street.
