A Uew Church to be Built by
East End Methodists,
COSTING OYER $75,000.
A Kitchen Will be Added for Con
gregational Blowouts.
SPECIAL ROOM ACCOMMODATIONS.
The Increase in Membership Necessitates
Larger Quarters.
A $3,000 ORGAX WILL BE FURNISHED
The East End is already studded -with
elegant architectural structures, yet there is
to be another building to add to its beauty.
The unsightly Emory Methodist Episcopal
Church, which stands over the bridge on
Penn avenue, to the right of the Pennsyl
vania Bailroad track, is soon to be demol
ished, and upon its ruins will be erected a
stone temple, at the cost of $75,000, for the
followers of John "Wesley to worship in.
The present building, whicn is 35 years old,
has become totally inadequate for the ac
commodation of the throngs who attend
church there. "It has no architectural
beauty, and its obliteration," said one of
the members," will remoTe an eyesore."
The Bev. C. T. Wilson, pastor, speaking
about the new church, said last night:
("The rapid growth of the Methodist body
in the East End makes it necessary to un
dertake the building of a new church.
There are at present 700 members on the
rolls in good standing, 250 in eices3 of the
church membership two years ago. The
church building, as it stands now, is unfit
and ill adapted for so large a congregation,
and we have concluded to build a modern
church worthy of this part of the city.
BUILT ON THE GOTHIC PLAIT.
"The new church will be of Gothic style.
The roof will be Taulted and massive stone
pillars with bas reliefs will besnpplied. It
will be built of white stone similar to the
Hiland Avenue Presbyterian Church. In
deed, the structure in its arrangement will
be modeled after the Presbyterian building
At the east end of the church a grand
organ will be placed, beautifully orna
mented, and of the sweetest quality in tone.
Beneath it will be a rostrum with pulpit
attachment and furniture, the floor being
covered with beautiful carpets. At
each side of the rostrum, north
and south, will be sweeping
transepts, with exquisite colored glass
windows. The body of the auditorium will
not only be nicely appointed, but the seats
will bearranged so that the congregation
may see the preacher with ease. The vari
ous rooms necessary for a Methodist church,
such as 'class, vestry, board, and young
people's rooms, will have a part in the
structure.
A. KITCHEN TO BE ATTACHED.
"There will be a grand Sunday school
room and library at the rear, also kitchen
for the preparation of edibles for social en
tertainments. The church will be built on
the present site, which is a very fine one.
It will cost at least, with furnishing, 575,-
ooo.
"Immediately after the Methodist Episco
pal Conference," which meets at this place
October 9, the new church scheme will
then be taken up. It has for a long time
been the absorbing topic outside of our re
ligious work. Had not the conference been
meetine here, possibly we should be on the
way much further. Before the incoming
spring, however, this church will be pulled
down, and we hope a new one will be on its
ascent skyward.
The congregation at the Emory Church
and the Sunday school membership are the
largest in that section of the city.
S0UTHS1DE REYITALS.
The Speakers Address Lnrce Audiences In
the Hie Rink.
The second week ot the revival services
in the Mammoth Boiler Bink, Carson and
Twenty-second streets, Southside, began
last night, and hundreds were turned away.
Every seat was occupied, and standing
room was at a premium. It was estimated
that 2,800 people were present. The Bev.
F. B. Farren. of the First Presbyterian
Church, South Twentieth street, opened the
meeting with an affecting prayer, and the
large choir sang an appropriate hymn.
Major Cole was in excellent voice, and his
remarks were listened to with rapt atten
tion. He related many anecdotes, humorous
and pathetic, and eloquently pointed out
the evil effects of gambling and drinking.
He closed by again thanking the audience
for its great numerical strength, and hoped
that it WGuld continue to grow larger as
long as the revival services lasted. These
meetings have been largely attended during
the past week, and will last three weeks
longer.

ABOUT THE AJ1EE1CAN.
Rev. William S. Williams Describes
the
Loyal Yankee as He Should Be.
The Bev. "William S. "Williams lectured
last night in the Sixth Avenue Universalist
Church on the subject "An American."
"There is a great difference," he said,
"between ideal and real life. In the former
we may imagine that life is perfect, and that
all we have to do is to move right along in
it, without subjecting ourselves to anv re
strictions or limits. But when we look at
the reality we find that we mnst conform to
our surroundings, that we must be bound by
those conditions which surround us. An
American, therefore, should recognize and
obey American conditions. He should con
form to the spirit of the laws and the insti
tutions of the country; be should cut himself
off from everything foreign, whether of a
religious or a" secular nature. I do not be
lieve in restricting immigration entirely,
but let such as come to this country drop
their foreign cnaracteristics. and bring
themselves in harmony with our laws, in
stitutions and government. '

"THE"
AN ENGINEER'S 'FEAT.
Digging a Large Well on the River's
Bank for the Lncy Furnace.
SWAMPED WITH AMIGHTI STREAM.
Pumps Provided That Will Lift 3,000,000
Gallons in 12 Boars.
BUILDING A TANK COSTING $20,000
A most remarkable water shaft, the first
ever made in the United States, is being
sunk at the Lucy Furnace, to cost about
$10,000, under the superintendence of
Samuel Harris, according to plans and
specifications prepared By Manager Scott,
of the lurnace. During the progress of the
work great difficulties had to be surmount
ed, owing to the shaft being sunk at the
river's edge. In the sinking of the shaft
three pumps were used constantly to keep"
out the water.
The work began on September 2, with 20
men employed. After working three weeks
an immense cast iron cylinder, made
at the Twenty-ninth street works, weighing
30 tons, was placed in the well. The cylin
der is 18 feet in diameter and 1 inches
thick. After the cvlinder was put in posi
tion by jacks, the ground beneath was re
moved, and it sank of its own weight. The
cylinder sets in a double capacity, as a sup
port to the ground and as a receiver of the
spring water. The bottom section of the
cylinder is perforated, but at present the
holes are plugged. Thev will be opened as
soon as the work is completed. At the top
of the cylinder is a projection 18 inches in
diameter, upon which is built a circular
brick wall 13 feet deep and 15 feet in
diameter, the wall being securely bolted.
A GREAT STBEAM OP 'WATEB.
After the cylinder was sunk 23 feet, a
sand bottom was touched. In one minute
after the sand was reached, while the men
were still in the well and thepumpsrunning
full, a gush of water spurted up that filled
the shaft 15 feet deep. It was by the veriest
hair's breadth that the men escaped drown
ing. "Water impeded the work during its
progress, but it was not until the 23 feet had
been sunk that the great outpouring came.
This has stopped the work until they can
arrange for putting another pump in place.
The three pumps tha are working cannot
begin to remove the water. In the well
there is a centrifugal pump, with an engine
and two Cameron pumps, but it will be nec
essary to attach another pump to remove
the water so that the gravel can be taken
ont.
"When the gravel has been cleared away
it is the intention still further to sink the
iron cylinder 5 feet, which will make it a
depth of 28 feet from the surface of the'
ground, and 20 feet from the water's sur
face. This will allow the water to pass
into the 200 holes punched in the sides and
bottom of the cylinder without becoming
muddy.
"When the work has been completed, two
large pipes will enter into the shaft and
convey the water into a receiver, situated
some 50 feet from the well. This will then
be distributed into two iron tanks, tempor
arily placed, 25 feet high and 15 feet in
diameter. From these twojtanks the water
will be drawn for the various furnace pur
poses. The four pumps that will be used
are of the latest design. They will be able
to lift 3,000,000 gallons every 12 hours.
AN ENGINEERING FEAT.
This well is a great engineering feat,
which will greatly facilitate the work of the
furnace. The water will be clear. Car
negies are building, in connection with this
well, an enormous tank, 50 feet hich and 25
feet in width, which will be the largest in
this section ot the countrv. It will be made
of iron, and will be circular in shape. After
it has been erected the other two distribut
ing tanks will be removed, and this will re
ceive all the water from the receiver. The
cost of this tank will approximate $20,000.
Upwards of 1,000 tons of gravel had to be
removed before the water was reached.
Samuel Harris, who has had charge of the
work, has been connected wiih some great
excavating schemes. He sank a shaft for
Colonel Andrews, in the State of Durango,
Mex., at a silver mine. He has also worked
in France, Germany and Switzerland.
"While in the latter country he was superin
tending the Howenstein tunnel, when 63
men and seven horses were suffocated by the
shaft taking fire.

A $10,000 FIRE.
The Works of the Enterprlso Hardware
Company Almost Desiioycd No Cause
for Iho Conflagration Known.
The plant of the Enterprise Hardware
Company, Limited, on "Washington avenue,
Allegheny, ovrned and operated by "W. H.
Burt and O. K. Gardner, was burned and
almost totally destroyed by fire at 3:30
o'clock yesterday morning. How the fire
originated is a mystery, as there was no fire
or lights of any description about the works
after 5 o'clock Saturday.
About 330 o'clock yesterday morning,
however, a neighbor saw flames issuing from
the roof of the mold shop and the alarm
was at once given. Three alarms were
turned in from box 17 and the fire depart
ment responded promptly. By the time
they arrived the fire had completely envel
oped the mold shop in the rear, and soread
to the machine shop and stock rooms facing
on "Washington avenue. The works have a
frontage on that street of 144 feet and extend
through to Lake street, a distance of 100
feet. Seventy feet of the space on Washing
ton avenue contains a two-story brick build
ing where the offices are situated, and in the
second story a japan room is operated.
This huilding was saved from destruction,
but the stock contained in it was totally de
stroyed by waterv The frame building on
"Washington avenue was also badly dam
aged and will have to be torn down, nothing
but the shell being left in position. It was
used as a machine shop and stock room.
The machinery was not badly damaged,
but the stock was destroyed. The greatest
damage was done to the mold shop. It was
a one-story building, and contained a lot of
'flasks," all of which, with the building,
were consumed. The loss will reach about
$10,000, which is fully covered by insurance
through the agencies of T. Dale Jennings
and Joseph H. Brown.
The company does a large business in the
manufacture ot novelties, such as door locks
and keys, sashweights and light castings.
They employ 75 hands, and were at present
rushed to their full capacity.
The "Westinghouse company were having
a large order tilled at present of an lights

THE NUMBER OP DELEGATES.
One delegate is allowed to each organiza
tion having less than 3,000 members, and
another one for each additional 1,000.
The federal bodies are also permitted to send
one representative. There will be about 100
delegates altogether at the meeting. The
arrangements for their reception are being
made by the Boston Central Labor Union.
The session will probably last one week and
will be confined mostly to discussions.
Among the matters to come up will be
the local trouble between L. A. 491 Knights
of Labor, slaters, and the Marble and Slate
Workers and Tile Layers' Union. The
latter are attached to the Federation and
claim the Knights of Labor has broken
faith with them. The trouble is the same
as that existing between the Knights ot
Labor and the M. M. P. U., over the
organization of the members of the Great
"Western Band.
A CONFERENCE HELD.
About a week before the latter action was
taken, a conference was held in Phila
delphia, between General Master Workman
Powderly with the Executive Board of the
Knights of Labor and President Gompers
and Secretary McGuire, of the Federation,
in which an agreement covering these points
in dispute was made. After making it the
Federation people claimed the Knights of
Labor violated it.
The most important matter, however, to
come before the convention is the eight
hour question. This will be definitely
acted upon. It will be decided whether a
universal demand will be made for eight
hours, or the enlorcement of the matter be
made in localities deemed practicable. The
stand for the eight hours per day will be
made May 1, 1890. At the last convention
of the Federation, which was held in Balti
more, it was authorized to submit the ques
tion to the different associations lor a vote.
This vote has been taken and will be made
known at the convention.
On new matters a federated convention,
unlike the Knights of Labor, cannot take
definite action. It merely makes recom
mendations to the associations that compose
the body. They cannot pass any laws, com
pulsory or obligatory on national or inter
national unions.
OFFICERS RESPONSIBLE.
The national officers of each union are-responsible
ior the enactment of the laws.
The decisions of President Gompers are re
spected in all matters.but he cannot authorize
the promulgation of any act not specifically
stated in the constitution.
Another matter to come up is the assist
ance fund to be used in the enforcement of
the eight-hour law. This provides for an
assessment of one-fourth of a cent per month
per member tor all members in the na
tional and international unions, and about
1 cent on federal bodies. The assessment
cannot be laid for more than five consecu
tive weeks. This amounts to about 80
cents per year. There are over 450,000
members represented in the Federation, and
it will be seen that the fund will amount to
over a third of a million dollars per year.
There is very little expense connected
with running the Federation. Last year
the total expenses, of the organization were
less than -1,000. This was in the office ot
President Gompers, whose salary is only
$1,200.
CAMPBELL DhNIES IT.
He Says the Knights of Labor General
Treasury Is Rot Emptr.
An item was published yesterday to the
effect that General Master Workman Pow
derly, of the Knights of Labor, would re
sign his position at the General Assembly
in Atlanta next month, and that all the
general lecturers had been called in on ac
count of there being no funds to pay their
expenses. It also went on to say that Messrs.
Costello, Holland and Devlin are now pay
ing their own expenses. The clipping was
shown James Campbell, President of L. A.
300, who said:
"That makes me tired. It is not likely
that John Costello or any other man would
travel around for the K. of L., and pay his
own expenses. Mr. Powderly will not re
sign, and will serve out his two years. The
treasury is not empty, as can be seen by the
Julyreports. I had a statement then, and
there was more money in the geueral treas
ury then than there has been for years.
Taking everything into consideration, the
order is better off. There is no wrangling,
and the members are those that came in
years ago and will stick."
THE MIXERS' SCALE SIGNED.
A Meeting of I. A. 1448 Held and They
Docided to Go to Work.
The scale of the mixers and teasers has
been signed and the men are now all at
work. A meeting of L. A. 1448 was held
yesterday afternoon in their hall on Carson
street. The scale committee reported that
they had a conference with Messrs. Phillips
and Campbell, of the Manufacturers' Asso
ciation, and they had agreed to pay them
an advance of 5 per cent on the present
wages. This is in the same proportion as
the advance granted the window workers.
Phillips' and Campbell's factories started
to blow class Saturday. All the others will
be working by the last of this week.

The Grand Jury Will Consider the Evidence
Asnlnst Bander.
The Department of Public Safety cases
against J. D. Bander and his following of
"detectives" will be brought before the-)
grand jury on Wednesday or Thursday of
the current week. The showing of evidence
for the benefit of the jurors will be much
stronger than that made at the preliminary
hearings before Alderman Hyndman.
Among other evidence, Messrs. Burleigh
and Marron will favor the grand jury with
a glimpse of a long letter of directions writ
ten byij. D. Bander to his wife. The boss
of the Bander Detective Agency was ar
rested so unexpsctedjy that a number of
very important papers, comprising receipts
from victims, lists of speak-easies and gen
eral matters in connection with his busi
ness, were left in a place accessible to pry
ing detectives. Bauder attempted to in
sure their safety by writing a very urgent
letter to his wife. The letter was given into
the hands of a trusty messenger tor trans
mission to Bander's home. But in some
mysterious manner the letter went awry
and fell into the fingers of Department ot
Public Safety officials. The evidence con
tained in the missive is said to be very con
vincing as to his guilt. Bauder is in bliss
ful ignorance of the fate that met his at
tempt to get rid of the compromising docu
ments. It is stated that Chief Brown, although
possessing an immense amount ot evidence
against similar offenders all over Pittsburg,
is inclined to allow the Bauder cases to test
the temper of the community as to the lur-.
ther prosecution of offenders of this class.
AWAITING CONFIRMATION.
Two French Medals Said to Have Been
Awarded Pittsburg Schools.
There was a rumor afloat yesterday to the
effect that the-exhibit of the Pittsburg
schools at the Paris Exposition had carried
off high honors. The rumor will be either
verified or contradicted at an early date. It
is said that tho jury decided to confer two
gold medals on Pittsburg in recognition of
the special excellence of its school exhibit.
Furthermore, it is alleged that the authori
ties will request that the exhibit be left in
the Musee de L'Ecole Polytecmque.
Superintendent Luckey expects to hear the
story officially confirmed early in this week.
MAI HATE BEEN SMOTHERED.
An Unmarried Girl Hides Her Infant Be
tween tho Mattresses.
Albertina Wilson, a Swedish girl 22 years
old, who has been for only one month a do
mestic in a house on Eidge avenue, Alle
gheny, last Saturday gave birth to a child.
She secreted it between the bed ticks, where
it was discovered dead by the doctor who
was called to treat her. She was conveyed,
as a prisoner, to the General Hospital, and
the dead infant was taken to the under
taking house of Herman & Ebberts on Ohio
street. A post mortem examination of the
child, to be held to-day, will determine
whetherit was born dead or alive.
He Hid In the Cellar.
Eobert Barr was arrested at his home, 55
Sheffield street, Allegheny, Saturday night
on complaint of his wife, who alleged that he
had abnsed her and his family. A tele
phone message was sent to the Mayor's
office for the patrol wagon, and hearing the
vehicle coming he hid in the cellar, where
he was found after a long search.
Sandbaaced and l&obbed.
On Saturday night an Exposition visitor
was sandbagged and robbed of his watch
and money, near the Ninth street bridge.
His name is said to be Gess, and he was
from Greensburg. He had a few cents left,
which, with a return ticket, carried him
back to Greensburg.

About 1.M8 Cars Are Still TtsdUp ra tie
Road A Soarcltr of Cars on the P. 5 W.
Beginning to bo Felt
There seems to be but little change ia the
sitnation of the freight blockade on the
Pittsburg Junction and Baltimore aad Ohio
Railroads. A Junction official said yester
day: "After the original item was published in
The Dispatch, Manager McDonald ex
erted himself to the utmost in hauling the
cars away, and for a tune did very well. In
fact, he stole a march jon the
Baltimore and Ohio people; and
so obtained the pest of the argument in the
newspapers. The Baltimore and Ohio had
previous to the blockade hauled can to the
Junction yards on Sundays, just as they did
on the week days, but knowing that there
were a couple of hundred cars on the bridge
on Sundav a week ago. ther neglected to
haul any on that day.
"Manager McDonald took advantage of
this state of affairs, put all his freight en
gines together with the passenger engines to
work, aid cleared the bridge. When this
had been- done he set up the claim that
the Pittsburg and Western was hauling the
cars away faster than they were being re
ceived, and for the time he was correct.
The bridge, however, was soon in as bad a
condition as before, and at the present. time
there are on the Pittsbnrg Junction and the
B. & O. roads 900 cars that should have been
moved long ago."
One prominent coalman, who would not
allow his name to be used, said that he had
shipped some coal in Angust and some more
in September, and that none of it'had been
delivered yet. Another thing he said
was outrageous, it was the fnct that they had
been compelled to send out tracers for cars
which had been shipped from points within
50 miles of Pittsburg and-on a straight road.
"If some change," he added "is not
quickly made there will be another howl
raised against the Pittsburg and Western.
If the freight blockade continues a scarcity
of freight cars will begin to be felt by the
Pittsburg and Western patrons, and in fact
complaints are already beginning to come in.
The road owns about 3,000 cars, and nearly
1,000 of these are now blockaded on the
Baltimore and Ohio road. You can see that
this makes a considerable hole in their total
number of cars, and you may look for some
lively developments in the future."
