Legislation Accessary to Dispose of the Public Property. XETV PHASE OF THE SCHOOL PE0BLE1I At the several masses in his church yes terday Bev. Father Sheedy delivered a short talk to his parishioners on the ency clical issned by Cardinal Gibbons on the subject of parents sending their children to the public schools. Father Sheedy stated that the public press had led people to be lieve that the Cardinal had issued an order prohibiting Catholic children from attend ing the public schools. He stated that no such order had been issued by Cardinal Gibbons, or he would have some official communication, in regard to it He stated that the only order known about it was the general legislation promulgated by the Council of Baltimore. If there were any additional or supplementary orders issued, thev would come through Kt Rev. Bishop Phelan. He stated that the enemies of the parochial school system v ere greatly chagrined at the construction the press put upon the encyclical and the way it was ac cepted by parents. Jfatner bheedy is now at wore upon the programme forthe exercises attendant upon the opening of his new school on Fenn avenue. LENGTHY OPENING. The opening will last about one week, and will not only be a new thing in this city, but will be replete with novel and interesting features. Governor Beaver and all the city and county officials will be invited to be present the first day and make addresses. The invitation will be mailed to the Governor in a few days. The idea of inviting the Governor and others is taken from the St. Vincent's School opening, conducted by Bishop Foley, of Detroit, several weeks ago. The build ing is one of the finest in Detroit, and at the opening Governor Luce and a number of the State and city officials were present and made speeches appropriate to the occa sion. The event was a marked one in the city of Detroit, and did much to cement the feeling between Catholics and Protestants about parochial and public schools. The formal opening of Father Sheedy's school will probably occur on Thanksgiving Day, the date not yet having been fixed. The dedication ceremonies will probably be conducted by Bishop Phelan. All the prominent persons in ecclesiastical and civil lite in the city will be invited to at tend. A special invitation will bo sent to those who contributed to the fund for the erection of the school A great many of these are non Catholics. DONATION OF A FLAG. To show the patriotism of the school, Nicholas Brady, a prominent business and Grand Army man of the First ward, has donated a large silk American flag to be placed upon the dome. In the evening there will be a concert, etc On the second evening an elaborate banquet will be served in the school hall. It will be interspersed with vocal and in strumental music Upon the following evening a bazaar will be held, at which recitations and tableaux will be given. On the fourth evening a light dramatic enter tainment will be given and the "opening" will close with an operetta on the night fol lowing. If the building is finished in time the school year will begin November L The plastering is now being done and the roof finished. A matter which is now bothering the di rectors of the First ward is what will likely become of their school after the parochial school gets under way. The latter will be able to accommodate nearly 400 children, or more than the Catholic school population of the ward. This is about 350, and a majority ot the children are now attending the public school. "When the new school opens these children will be drawn oh, and the public school will be almost depleted. FEW CniLDEEX LEFT. The directors expect that. there will be between 50 and 100 children -Jeit in the public school, and in time this number will dwindle down to almost nothing. Superin tendent Lnckey states thatthe tailing off in the number of children attending the school is due to the fact that their parents have moved to the Bast End and other places. Former dwellings have been converted into workshops and foundries, and in a short time there will be few families left. At present there are 3 teachers and 1 principal employed by the city in the Echool. The law allows 40 pupils as the minimum number to each teacher. When the new school opens, 2 of the teachers now employed will have to be dropped. If it should come to pass, as expected, that there will be no children going to the public school, the board of directors will have a school building on their hands with no way of getting rid of it. The building and grounds belong to the taxpayers of the ward, and there is no law allowing the di rectors to dispose of the money arising from the sale of the property. Superintendent Luckey holds that special legislation will be necessary to get rid of the building, and the directors sav they are ready to hear sugges tions. In Philadelphia all school property is controlled by the Central Board. When one district is depopulated the buildings and grounds are sold and the proceeds used to erect new buildings in other new dis tricts. FATHEB SHEEDY'S FLAX. Father Sheedy does not thint that special legislation is necessary to dispose of the propertv should it be found necessary 4o do so. When interrogated about the matter yesterday he said: "I do not think there is any need of special legislation, as I am satisfied that the taxpayers would get the worst of it any way. It it is found necessary to sell the building and grounds it could be done. A trustee could be appointed to hold the lunds. As long as these funds last let the taxpay ers of the ward be exempt from public school taxation. Let the district be 'con nected with the Second or Fourth ward schools as a sub-district. We would be as sessed our shore to maintain the sub-district, and this could be paid from the funds held by the trustee. As long as the funds lasted the taxpayers of the ward would really be exempted from taxation." A statement lurnished by one cf the di rectors of the school shows that the receipts last year were 4,730 08. The running ex penses were $2,492 2L This statement is for the year ending Jane 7, 1689. THEI WANTED A CHAT. How a. Tonus; Man and Ills Girl Got Into Tronblr. Joseph Boger and Bosa Beck were ar rested by Officer Messner last night on Wylie avenue, near KirkpatricK street It is alleged by the officer that the prisoners sat down on the doorstep of John Marion's house, No. 477 Wylie avenue, to iave a little chat Mr. Marion ordered them away, and after he had closed the door, Boger threw several bricks at the door. Thev were locked up in the Eleventh ward sta tion, but in a short time friends left a de posit for their appearance this morning. A FAREWELL SERMON. The Rev. Dr. Hammond Tlslta His Flock Before Going twaj-Smoking; Not the Cause of HisLenvIne". The Kev. E. D. Hammond preached his farewell sermon yesterday morning to a large congregation. It was evident that a large portion of the people were deeply affected because their pastor, whom they knew so well and respected so highly, was about to sever his connection with them to start "in fields of labor new." The reverend gentleman preached an ele quent sermon, laying great emphasis on the unity that ought to exist between the pews and the pulpit, and exhorting tbem to at tain to thesummitof usefulness in thesphere in which they live. In conclusion he bade them a long farewell, hoping to meet them in another land. Dr. Hammond spent yesterday afternoon and evening visiting his late flock. All the congregation were sad at parting with one who, by his cordial sympathy, had endeared himself to them. A writer in the New York Examiner states that it was not the late smoking epi sode that caused Dr. Hammond to sever his connection with the Shady Avenue Baptist Church. He was desirous of having a much finer church and Sunday school. He wanted to extend the power of the church, and to do this he recognized that it was nec essary to have a church sufficient ly attractive to draw the people A number of conservative men in the congregation could not see it in the same light, and were content to pursue the beaten track. This dissimilarity of feeling forced him to look for a field of labor which would be more congenial to his taste and fully in accord with the spirit of the times. Brook lyn Tabernacle was the open sesame, and to this new field he will go. Pittsburg's loss will be Brooklyn's gain. Dr. Hammond leaves here amid the heartiest well wishes of all who knew him. W. H. BBOWS'S DEATH. The Sad Result of a Visit to a Lntvrenee- vllle Speak-Easy. W. H. Brown died yesterday morning at the West Penn Hospital from peritonitis, and an inquest will be held over his remains this morning. On "Wednesday evening, Brown, while under the influence of liquor and in com pany with another man, was walking on Thirty-sixth street, and fell upon his stomach on the curbing. His companion fell over him, and Brown suffered internal injuries which developed peritonitis. He was removed to the hospital Friday morn ing. The deceased was well-known in Law renceville. He was a widower. 56 years of age, and lived at No. 169 Thirty-uixth street He was the first roll turner em ployed at Carnegie, Phipps & Co.'s mill at Thirty-third street, and had been considered the finest in the State. His reputation as a turner is known over the entire country. Brown was not by habit a drinking man and indulged only at long intervals. He leaves two grown children, one son and a daughter, who are indignant, claiming that their father had been enticed into a "speak easy" on Thirty-sixth street. The funeral will be held to-morrow. A BREWEEI MEETING. The Option or the EntlUU Syndicate to be Closed on Tuesday, All sorts of rumors are afloat about the operations of the English brewery syndicate. It is understood on very good authority that the firm of Frauenheim & Yilsack's brewery held a meeting in the brewery office yesterday afternoon. It was not known positively what the object of the conference was, but it is said that it was convened to take some final action about the offer of the syndicate. The offer of the syndicate is claimed to be exceptionally good in the case of this brewery, and the outcome on next Tnesday will be watched with interest The time for the option, will expire on that day, and some of the brewers say that if the English men fail to gobble up "the Pittsburg brew eries an attempt will be made to form a brewery trust in the city. THE BEADD0CK ACCIDENT. One ot the TIciIms Burled Yesterday An other Funeral To-Day. The remains of the Hungarian Michael Kallony, the first victim of the accident at Braddock were interred yesterday morning. Mike Quinn's body was removed lrom the Mercy Hospital on Saturday night to his late home in Braddock. The funeral will take place at 2 o'clock to-day. HITHER AND THITHER. movements of Pltrsbnrgers and Others of Wide Acannlntance. Messrs Edwardo Aguire and Melchior Bustamante, two gentlemen from the Argen tine Republic, are staying tor a fewdays at the Monongahela. They have both been in the States lor the first time, and are very much surprised at the vastness and completeness of our industrial plants and traveling facilities. In the course of a conversation last night Senor Aguire referred to the lack of facihties for commercial exchange between the Arcen tine States and the Northern Continent. Snch merchandise as agricultural implements.sewtng machines, typewriters, etc, for which there was a daily increasing demand, where Imported by the roundabout way of Liverpool, being shipped from New York to that port and thence transhipped to Bnenos Ayres. By this route, out of the way as it was. such articles of commerce were imported at a cheaper rate than by the existing lines via Rio Janelro,and in con siderably less time. He said that a line ot steamships running direct to Buenos Ayres, if subsidized at the start, would be or the greatest benefit to the Argentine States, as well as of profit to American exporters, and would receive the support o.f their merchants who now are compelled to trade with Belgium and England. From the former country they import most of their rails, for which, eight months ago, they were paying $11 per ton. They receive about 200,000 immi grants annually, principally from (southern Ensope, the bulk of them being from Italy. Italians were immediately sent up country, and Mr. Aguire spoke of them as making very good agriculturists. Politically everything was quiet Their President was elected for a )kiui v at a j tt&a uu hue lUbUJilUCUh Ul LOO office remained in until 1892. He personally was in favor ot increased trade with the Northern States and would promote means for additional intercourse as far as in his power, sir. Aguire compared Buenos Ayres with Chicago, and as rivaling that city in its wide thoroughfares and progress in building and extending its area. One of the banks, he said, the Provencal, had $95,000,000 on deposit, more than was possessed by the 30 banks of Chicago. As an example of the stand ing of some of their business men, he said that a jeweler in Bnenos Ayres named Tornqnist bad lately taken up municipal bonas in his own band to the amount of 10,000,000. Senor Mel chior Bustamante's father, who is an extensive engineer, is engaged at present in constructing a line of road to Mcndoza, which, when finished, will be extended across the Cordilleras to San Iago. The two gentlemen purpose troing on to Washington to have a talk with their represen tative, thence to New York and home by Liver pool, a route, they say, both shorter and cheaper than via Bio Janeiro.

David Metheny's Mission Work in and Near Ancient Tarsns. AMONG WORSHIPERS OF THE SUN. Descendants of the Heathen Tribes Expelled From Canaan. WOKE THAT HAS BEEK ACCOMPLISHED Bev. David Metheny addressed the con gregation of the Central Beformed Presby terian Church, on Sandusky street, last evening, on his work and experiences as a missionary at and near Tarsus, in Syria. Bev. Mr. Metheny was long ago a resident of Pittsburg. He practiced medicine on Penn avenue, and attended the Central Church when Bev. Dr. Thomas Sproull, the father of the present pastor, was the preacher there. He felt last -evening as if he were getting back home after many years. In a few days it will have been 23 years since Mr. Metheny went to Asia Minor as a missionary, working along the northeastern coast of the Mediterranean, with headquar ters at Tarsus. The most southern school is at Arvad, the home of the ancient Arvad ites, whose descendants still live there and practice the rites of their remote ancestors. Mr. Metheny is a son-in-law of Mr. -David Gregg, of Allegheny. He exensed himself for going into the de tails of the work in Syria, by saying that he had been astounded at the ignorance of members of the church concerning the very location of the mission. One good brother had asked him in what part of Afghanistan Tarsus was situated, and others had put to him equally ridiculous questions. PAGAN DESCENDANTS. The people of Syria, he said, are in large part the descendants ot the Canaanite tribes whom Joshua expelled from Palestine. In the territory 250 miles long, over which his mission field extends, there are 300,000 of the descendants of these ancient pagans. In that region there are 33 schools and preach ing stations. The principal schools are at Mersine, Tarsus and Adana. Messine is a new city, 40 years old, upon the Mediterra nean Sea. It is a commercial city of 8,000 inhabitants, and has a heavy export trade. Tarsus has a population of 30,000. It is a very ancient city, said to have been built by Sardanspalus, the Assyrian conqueror. It was visited by Cleopatra, and Cicero was once its Governor. Great ruins attest its former grandeur. The Saracen has ruled it for 601 years, and it is continually dimin ishing in size and influence. All that -Mohammedanism can do for a people is manifested in those plains of Cilicia. The land is level and fertile, but hot and tnalariaL Foreigners cannot, with safety, dwell upon the lowlands, and the missionaries have made their homes upon the hills of the Taurus range. The sanitary conditions in those Cilician towns are ut terly bad. The death rate is high. Bev. Mr. Metheny said that he knew a woman who was the mother of 18 children. They had married and had grandchildren. Of all her descendants only 11 are living. In the whole province of Cilicia there is not one inhabitant where formerly there were 100. "WORK CONDUCTED SECBETLY. When the mission work was begun a quarter of a century ago the Government forbade it, and it was carried on secretly. Mr. Meth eny, being a physician, he went among the people practicing medicine. In that way he tormed their "acquaintance and gained their confidence. Be privately talked to tbem of the gospel, and wherever he went he spread the word. In Tarsus a house was rented and children were taken there and taught. There are many religious sects in Tarsus and all violently opposed the mission work. Then a famine came and when news of it reached America money was sent to Tarsus in large amount The missionaries used it to re lieve the distress of the people. The chil dren whom they had been teaching were clothed and fed. This work effectually re moved the prejudice of the people. After many difficulties the Government at Con stantinople permitted the American schools to be conducted openly. The Sublime Porte recognized the fact that the Americans had no political designs in Asia Minor. MEDICINE IS TAUGHT. Wherever Christian teachers are set to work they are taught the rudiments of medicine and instructed in the use of the simpler remedies. Through the practice of the art of healing they attract thepeople and secure their attention. The people who are converted are too poor to organize self-supporting churches. There are, under Mo hammedan rule, a few who are very rich and many who are very poor. The rich will not listen to the preaching of Chris tianity. Only the poor are willing to hear the gospel. Men work there for lrom 5 to 12 cents a day. Since the close of the Busso-Turkish war each pachalik or prov ince has been compelled to pay annually 70,000 to the Russian indemnity fund. This has greatly impoverished the people. The usual utensils of a family, among the working class, are a frying pan, a pot and a wooden spoon; nothing more. The mem bers of a family sleep together on a mat upon the floor and have one common quilt over all. Bev. Mr. Metheny urged larger contribu tions to the mission work. He said that in six years the church in the United States, with 121 ministers and an expenditure of over 51,200,000, had added only 050 members to the church. In the same period two ministers and two missionaries had added 60 converts to the church. SUN AND MOON WORSHIFEBS. Iu a private conversation, Bev. Mr. Metheny said of the people who are descend ants of the ancient Canaanite, Hittites and Arvadites: "Ostensibly they are Moham medans, but in secret they still worship the sun, moon and stars and the forces ot nature. The men have secret societies which to me seem to be similar to Masonry. They are oath-bound, no women are admitted, and any revelation of the secrets is punished bv death. It .is the duty of those who initiate a member to kill him if he becomes apostate. If a member becomes drunk he is guarded, so that he may not reveal any mystery. The worship of Baal-Peor is still carried on by them, with its vile rites. They worship any maniiestation of the power ot nature, the waving of the grass, the shaking o'f a leaf, the ascending smoke, the white crest upon the summit of a wave, the flashing of a bright eye. A thorough understanding of their religion would throw a flood of light upon the mythology of the ancient nations of Phoenicia and Mesopotamia." WIPE DESERTION. The Abandoned Woman Brings Her Tale of Woe to' Central Station. Last Thursday Mrs. Mary Harkless came to Pittsburg to join her husband, who had settled here and obtained work. He took her to a boarding honse, and they remained there until Saturday night, when the man took their 3-year-old son out saying he would return in an hour. Harkless failed to return, however, and in the morning the boarding-house keeper turned Mrs. Hark less out, as she had no money. Mrs. Hark less wnt to the Central station and told her story. She does not know the name of street in which the boarding house was sit uated. SODTflSlDE REVIVALS. The Third Week oi the Oleetlncs Ansplcloaslr Opened. Last night was the beginning of the third week of the Sou thside revival meetings. The attendance was very large, and the pathetic anecdotes of Major Cole, who was the principal speaker, were listened to with great attention. The meetings will be con tinned for two weeks longer. OPENED FOE SEEYICE. The Eighth V. P. Chapel In Allegheny Was Formally Dedicated. The new United Presbyterian Chapel on Perrysville avenue, Allegheny, was formally opened yesterday. Bev. T. A. Shaw, who is at present supplying the pulpit, preached a sermon in the morning, but the special exercises of the day took place in the after noon. Devotional service was conducted by Bev. Shaw and Bev. G. W. McDonald, of the Seventh Church, and addresses were made by Bevs. W. H. McMillan, D. D., ot the Second Church; D. F. McGill, ot the Sixth, and J. W. Witherspoon, D. D., of the Fifth. At 6 o'clock a praise service and Bible readings were con ducted by the Sabbath school, and reminis cences ot the progress of the missions from which the school sprung were recited by those who were familiar ivlth them. In the evening a sermon was delivered by Bev. J. M. Fulton, D, D., of the Fourth Church. During the afternoon and evening a col lection was taken up to pay off the debt of the building. It was intended to raise $1,500, and Jn the two collections over $1,400 were subscribed. The church will be known as the Eighth U. P., and already has a congregation of some 40 families. It is the outgrowth of the Bidgcwood, Jefferson and Lombard .street m!s;ions,and is in a fair way to grow rapidly. The building is rather pretty, built of brick with stone trimmings and occupies a space of 34 by 78 feet m a lot of 120 by 150 teet. THEI KEEP OUTPOSTS. How a Soho Speak-Easy Baffles thePolfce Officers. The police of the Second district hat a lively time in Soho yesterday. A ho se which Captain Mercer claims is a spe; k easy, but the proprietor of which he cam ot convict, was seemingly the center of he trouble. The house is on Forbes street A large crowd was in the vicinity all d v, and the officers kept watching it Shortlv after 9 o'clock word t as sent to the Fourteenth ward stat an that a big fight was in progress. Four )f ficers were sent at once, but when they ir rived everything was quiet The police is sert that a system of outposts is maintaii ed and that notice of their approach is sent e fore them. Captain Mercer said last ni ht that he was convinced that liquor was s Id in the bouse. He had caused the arresflot the owner twice, but failed to get a conviC' tion either time. THINK IT A NUISANCE. The Velte and McDonnld Co. Take Vp lonnld Co. Take Up To Hindi of the Mdctvalk. The members of the Church of St. Joan the Baptist, which is situated at the corner of Thirty-second and Liberty streets, ire complaining of the way in which the side walk along Thirty-second street (is being occupied by the material (of the Telte and McDonald Engiie Building Company. The company is doing a rushing business, nnd after a Saturdiy nieht the pavement from Penn avenue to Liberty street is sometimes nearly coveid with sheet Iron, boilers and other ob structions. It is very difficult to make onk's way along the street in consequence of the narrow space for walking, and the citizens think that a private corporation should be prevented from using public property. I BRADDOCK 1NQDEST POSTPONED. I Michael Quinn's Popularity and Prominence In Braddock. Coroner McDowell has postponed the in quest on the Braddock victims from 2 o'efock this afternoon to 2 o'clock Thurs day afternoon. This was done out of re- spect to the wishes of many Braddock citi zens and friends of the late Captain Jones. Michael Quinn was a highly esteemed man in Braddock. It is said he was edu cated for the priesthood, but on the day he was to be ordained changed his mind'and declined to enter the brotherhood. He has been connected with the Carnegie establish ment for several years, owned some prop erty in Braddock, and was popular, with all classes. NEW GAS COMPANY.

They wish to form a company to operate the patents of Joseph Flannery, Chiel Engineer of the Standard Gaslight Company in New York. The patent is a process lor the manufacture and supply of gas made from a combination of natural gas and water gas and other in gredients for illuminating and heating purposes. If WAS ALL SMOKE. A Fire ol Green Coal Creates a False Alarm in Lawrenceville. A colored gentleman who lives on Penn avenue a few doors above Main street, created some excitement last night by build ing a fire with green coal. He lives way up in an attic, and the fire created so much smoke that those living around about thought the house was ablaze. Some peo ple climbed up on the roof, and held an in teresting conversation with the colored man down the chimney, before the mistake was discovered. STILL AFTER HIM. Report That Sirs. BlcCnrthrJs Not Yet Sat isfied With Blood. It was stated last night, upon good authority, that Horace B. Hays, the furni ture 'dealer of No. 2664 Penn avenue who was shot in the leg Wednesday night last by Nellie McCarthy, had received a letter yesterday from the woman who shot him, threatening to kill him on sight. Mr. Hays could not be seen last night to confirm the statement The police are still on the look out for Mrs. McCarthy. a Kremer Coming-.

PREPARATIONS FOR THE FUNERAL. Grave Fears That Mrs. Jones May Succumb to the Nervous Shock. THE WORKS TO CLOSE OS WEDNESDAY. Since the death of Garfield, Braddock has not been in such mourning as she was yes terday when the fact gradually began to dawn on the people that they had in truth lost Captain W. E. Jones, whom they had become accustomed to look to as part of their very existence. The people were numbed, and their city, a city as of the dead. Every place where a few people con gregated could be heard sympathetic allu sions to their calamity, and the general feeling throughout the town was that Brad dock had lost a man whose like they will seldom see among them again, and the company, an official whoso place will be difficult to fill. At 2 o'clock, a meeting called by the em ploy es of the works by word sent rounc among then, was held in the Opera House Its object was to discuss the question o whether the works should continue ii operation pending Captain Jones funeral Mr. Hamilton acted as Chairman. Alte about 20 minutes discussion it was decidei to request the company to shut down on thi day of the funeral and this was. acceded to, During the day fully 200 people made calls at the family residence on Cory street, and among them were H. C. Frick, Mr. Lauder1 and Mr. Curry. MBS. JON ES IN POOE HEALTH. Fears are entertained that Mrs. Jones may breac down under tne bqock. j.ub grief stricken lady has been in very deli cate health for some time past, and yester day her condition had become very serious. Dr. Swan, a well-known homeopathist of New York, arrived in Braddock in the morning, and saw Mrs. Jones. He will re main as a visitor for the next few days. The tidings of her husband's sudden death were not imparted to the bereaved lady until yes terday morning. She held up very well under it at first, apparently not fully appreciating its full significance, but later in the day she was nuite prostrated bv the intelligence. The remains of the late General Manager were conveyed to Braddock on the 9:40 train last night It was the original intention of the family to have detained them in this city until the day of the funeral, Wednesday, but Mrs. Jones so insisted on having the body of her husband brought to his home that the removal had-to be submitted to. THE FACE DISFIGUBED. It is feared that should Mrs. Jones insist on seeing the body, which she very natur ally and probably will, that she may sustain a dangerous shock, since the. face is so much disfigured and swollen as to be unrecogniz able. The funeral is set for 220 on Wednesday aKT moon, and the remains will be tempo rarily placed in Mr. Mills' vault in the Monongahela Cemetery. The remains will lie there until the family lot is made ready to receive it. They will then be taken up and transferred to the cemetery near Camp Copeland, where the lot is located. The lot is under the shade of the Soldiers' Monu ment, which the dead captain helped to dedicate abont two years ago. The plot in which his grave will be dug was selected by himself on account of its proximity to the monument The G. A. B. post will take charge of the arrangements, and all the local societies rtill form in line. The pall-bearers" will be sleeted from among the oldest'employes in tne works. A few days prior to his unfortunate accir dent Captain Jones was arranging for a re union of the Colonel H. B. Hays 199, Turtle Creek, the Braddock 181 and the Wilkins burg 648, posts. The reunion will now take place at his funeral. AVhen the Braddock Post veterans had occasion to travel any where, it was Captain Jones' invariable custom to provide them with tickets. There was a meeting of Major Lowry Post No. 648, Wllkinsburg, last night to make ar rangements for the members to attend the funeral, on Wednesday, in a body. It was said yesterday in Braddock that no effort would be made to fill the position oc cupied by Captain Jones. The late General Manager had grown up with the works, was intimate with every detail, and sd was singularly qualified for his important posi tion. In future the duties pertaining to the post will be divided. DELEGATES DID NOT ARRIVE. The Railroad Brotherhoods Are Ready to Meet To-Dnr. The delegates to the Federated Union meeting of railroad men to be held in Old City Hall to-day and to-morrow, did not ar rive in the city last evening, but are ex pected this morning. Among the mostpromi nent persous expected are S. E. Wilkinson Grand Master of the Brotherhood of Eail road Brakemen, John Downev, -Vice Grand Master of the Switchmen's National Union, and Eugene "V.

A. 1418, Knights of Labor, mixers and teasers, issned a red-letter call for a meet ing in their hall on Carson street yesterday afternoon. At the last moment it was found unnecessary to hold the meeting, and it was declared off. The object was to declare a strike on ac count of some trouble at Cunningham & Co.'s window house. The firm at first re fused to pay the advance of 5 per cent de manded by the assembly on the ground that they would be paying more "than other firms. Last year the wages paid by the firm were a little higher than those paid by their competitors. When the men presented their demands it was found by the firm that the advance of 6 per cent was on list year's wages and not on the scale. The firm had been. volun tarily paying higher wages than the scale called for, and objected to the advance- The men then threatened to strike, and said they would call the men out in the other booses, This led to complications, as it woald pre vent the window glass workers froaa turn ing out any product The officers of the local assembly asked the officers of the Window Glass Workers Association itthey would strike. They received a negativf re-" ply and the case was carried to the execu tive officers of D. A. No. 3 on Saturday. Messrs. Wright and Costello, of the Oen eral Executive Board, were in the citrtat the time, and they were asked If Lv A." 390 would be ordered out It was the first case of the kind since the Window Glass Workers connected them selves with thelC of L., and they were to be asked to prove that they were Knighta of Labor 'jy, refusing to work with non-union mixers and teasers. This thev conld not do on account of the agreement made with "the manufacturers that thev would go to work when the advance yas granted them. Messrs. Wright and Costello deliberated on the matter, and came to the conclusion that L. A. 300 would be ordered out if the mix ers struck. They could then make the claim that the strike was ordered by the General i-xecutive Board, and they had no recourse but to go out. In this way Messrs.
