fw 'JSV ' - "!j w 2 THE PITTSBURG- 1889, I and Frew, was deputed to attend the gen eral meeting of November 5, with power to act for the Art Society in such a movement as might be determined upon by the repre sentatives of all the societies. There was also a discussion of Mr. Carnegie's plans as above outlined, upon which the members present seemed to be thoroughly posted, and much commendation was expressed of his public-spirited intentions. Subsequent to the meeting a gentleman present was seen by 3 Dispatch represen tative. He was very enthusiastic upon the subject of an academy of science, and said: "Should, as I have heard from several sources, Mr. Carnegie afford a permanent quarters for the academy in the Itibrary building, the Art Society will suggest that the matter of preparation of catalogues be placed in the hands of each Pittsburg'so ciety in the following manner: The Art Society to take charge of all books upon art and artist?, and decorations, etc.; the Bo tanical Society to do the same in books of a botanical nature, and so on. In this way the character of each department would be of the highest, and could be made far more complete than the judgment of any individ ual would suffice. Of course standard liter ature or fiction could bo secured in the usual way, but the world of special artistic, generic and scientific literature is beyond the ken of even an extraordinary librarian. Tnere is a little literary world for each art and science, and the votaries of art naturally know more about their generic book matter than they do about that apper taining to some other pursuit, which though kindred is vastly dissimilar. EACH SOCIETY A JUDGE. "There are now quite a number of or ganizations comprehended in this plan of federation, and each society should be con stituted the sole judge of the character of its department ot literature. Besides, in connection witn this plan is the fact that it would make very feasi ble the sub-division of the interior of the library in such a manner as to make the collections contributed by each socictya portion of the library itself. So that articles would be almost together with the text books upon them. I notice that one very important society in this city has re ceived no attention as yet, but will never theless be represented at the coming meeting. I refer to the Numismatists, who have a flourishing organization. I may say that "William Thaw has a collection of 1,300 coins which he will donate to the Academy. I heartily concur in Mr. Macbeth's views in regard to the large amount of articles which would be presented to the future academy if a secure depository were provided. WHAT WOULD TLOW IX. Hare prints, engravings, paintings and every sort of handsome and valuable article would assuredly flow in from all sources. It would be an incentive to give and contribute which does not now exist owing to the desul tory and incomplete nature or the accommo dations of the various societies. A good deal of money is now paid out for rental and fixtures which would be saved Tinder the new arrangement. I have understood that Mr. Carnegie is very much pleased by the talk of an amalgamation of the varions so cieties, and ieel assured that he will stand ready to assist our plans in every essential detail." Recently at Cresson Mr. Carnegie stated that he was anxious to see a fire proof building in Pittsburg where valuable col lections of art and other interesting articles could be kept. He said all the cities in Europe had such buildings, and philanthro pists ana wealthy men contributed liberally of literary, scientific and artistic works. These collections are of immense value, and he feels sure that Pittshurgers will be just as liberal in this respect as Europeans if the proper receptacle is provided. HE SAW THE PRESIDENT. James 5. McKena and John Wanamnkcr's Interview With Gen. Harrison Fields and SIcKean Stand Tocethcr. Several of the Pittsburg Knights Templar returned from the Triennial Conclave of the Grand Encampment at "Washington over the Baltimore and Ohio Kail road last night, their special cars having been at tached to the regular Baltimore express. One of the Knights, who is a member of Pittsburg Commandery No. 1 and who waited over a day in "Washington upon some department business, stated that on Thursday afternoon Mr. James S. McKean and Postmaster General "Wanamakcr had a lengthy private audience with President Harrison, at which the Pittsburg postomce situation was gone over in detail. It was subsequently rumored that Post master's Larkin's term of office might possi bly be considerably abridged in view of the President's determination to induct the Philadelphia and Pittsburg appointees at an identical time. The publication of Mr. John Fields' acceptanceof the Philadelphia postmastership indicated, so far as senti ment in the East was concerned, that Bill Leeds had signally failed to make onthis case as entitled to the honor by any other than the claims of ward politics, and that Senator Qcav had long since leit the gallant Eill to shift for himself. Mr. McKean intended to return home last evening, but changed his mind and went to Philadelphia, where he cultivated the ac quaintance of Mr. Fields and called upon several gentlemen of a Republican line of thought. General Gobin's choice as Bight Eminent Grand Commander very much elates Penn sylvania's contingent. A PITTSBDBG COMIC. Gnikr's Illustrated Monthly Comes Forth With Eclat. Gusky's has surpassed itself in the adver tising line by bringing out an illustrated monthly excellently gotten up and replete with witty paragraphs and dainty sketches. The editors of the new monthly are Messrs. K. Solomon and "W. Be"Wolf. Some well known Pittsburg artists contribute the il lustrations, and contributions are invited from the ambitions quill-drivers of the city. If the vein of keen humor struck in the first be continued through the subsequent numbers, there need be little doubt that 'Gusky's Illustrated Monthly" will attain its object, which is "to make the public laugh and grow fat." The editor contributes some "Truthful Tins," which have any amount of "Attic salt" condensed into the limits of a para graph. There is an amusing sketch on "Business Methods" by Morris "Waite; and a couple of amusing verses by Madelines. Bridges and F. D. Chatterton. Altogether the editors of "Gusky's Jlouthly" are to be complimented on the taste and skill which they have so liberally expended in this newest of the comics. BISHOP PHELAN EXPLAINS. Thoso Catholic Clobs Consulted Him When It Was Too Late. Bishop Phelan was seen last night about his refusal to countenance the consolidation Echemeof the Catholic literary societies of Pittsburg. He said: "This scheme was started without my knowledge; nor was I consnlted upon the matter. I do not feel in the least aggrieved over this, although it is customary to con sult the Bishop about intended changes in these associations. "What I complain of is that the people connected with this affair came to consult me after the whole plan had been arranged. It was quite patent to me that the consultation was a mere matter of form, so I informed my visitors that I had no suggestions to make on the subject." HELD HIM F0K C0UET. Swartzman Gave Back llie Money and Wanted to Go Free. B. Swartzman admitted last night at the hearing before Alderman Porter that he broke open the trunk of Henry Gass, his room mate, and abstracted $50. During the hearing Swartzman handed over the money, saying, "There now; let me go.'.' The Alderman wasn't of the same frame of mind, and he sent Swartzman back to jail to await a, court hearing. COL. DANES GUILTY. The Methodist Ministers Find Charges Against Him True. the LEGAL ARGUMENTS ON BOTH SIDES. The Old Soldier Host Eetire From Active Service in the Ministry. PROCEEDINGS OP THE COHFEEENCE The Methodist Conference Court of in quiry in the Colonel John A. Danks case concluded its hearing of testimony yester day evening, listened to the arguments from the attorneys and reached a verdict. The sentence has not yet been determined. The court of 15 members met at the Emory Street M. E. Church at 2 p. m. Colonel Danks himself occupied the stand during the greater part of the afternoon session. He went very fully into the trouble in the Mt. "Washington church, and at times was greatly moved by emotion. He described the rela tions between himself and his present prosecutor, Thomas Blashford, as having been of the most intimate kind until a short time before the Latrobe Conference, in Octo ber, 1888. As superientendent of the Sab bath school, Mr. Blashford enjoyed the pastor's fullest confidence. Colonel Danks considered him bis friend, and often visited at his house, holding divine worship there. Shortly before the Conference members of the church whom the pastor could trust told him that Blashford was secretly using every effort in his power to Becure his re moval from the service and to prevent him from receiving his salary. At the Confer ence Colonel Danks saw Blashford. The minister was not only removed from his charge at ML "Washington, but he was re tired from the effective ministerial work and placed upon the supernumerary list. Colonel Danks said that he was well satis fied that Mr. Blashford was the man who was chiefly instrumental in bringing this about. THE COLONEL ASTONISHED. He said he was astounded that a man whom he believed to be his friend should have done such a thing. He desired to make positive that such was the case. It was for that purpose, he said, that he wrote to Mr. Blashford the letter which was pub lished in The Dispatch yesterday. It was a sort of feeler. "When the letter was pub lished in the newspapers, three days after its date, Colonel Danks was surprised. He testified that he did not give it out for pub lication. He believed it came from the other side, and was intended as another effort to accomplish the ruin of his reputa tion. He was then arrested before an Alderman, at the instance of Mr. Blashford, in a proceeding for suretv of the peace. Through members of the church he had the word conveyed to Mr. Blashford that he would like a meeting. In the same way in formation was returned to Colonel Danks that his enemy did not desire to meet him. After the first day when the case was set for a hearing before the Alderman, Colonel Danks sent this letter to Mr. Blashford: HIS SECOND LETTER. I see yon did not put m an appearance. 1 wish yon had been there, for then you wonld have kDown before this that no evil or bodily harm was intended to you, but that my object was to find ont throngh you how all this wrong was done to me at conference. John A. Danes. The man who never did you any harm except to pray for yon. Colonel Danks admitted on the stand that, in the sndden heat of his passion, he said things to Mr. Blashford and other members of the church for which he is now sorry. Questions were put to him asking if he had made certain remarks testified to by other witnesses. In several instances he conld not recollect, but would not say that he had not-said the words attributed to him. Colonel 'Danks laid before the court of in quiry the records of his satisfactory work in other churches, presenting letters of ap proval from official boards. The remainder of the afternoon session and part of the evening was taken up in hearing the testimony of persons who were members of the chnrch during the pastorate of Colonel Danks. It appears that since his removal quite a number of the members have left that congregation. Some who testified now belong to other Methodist Episcopal churches in the citr. while others have joined the Methodist Protestant Church. A POINTED TNQUIBY. The inquiry was directed pointedlv to a meeting which Mr. Blashford is alleged to have procured a short time prior to the La trobe conference, where he procured signa tures to a petition for the pastor's removal. The evidence varied widely as to whether he was the chief promoter in that action. Some of tne witnesses called in behalf of Colonel Danks testified that Mr. Blashford had represented that the church funds were exhausted when, as a matter of fact they were not. Others stoutly defended Mr. Blashford's conduct, asserting that Colonel Danks' removal was essential for the good of the church, that he was hot headed and a promoter of strife in congrega tion and choir. It was 9 o'clock when the last witness was heard. Eev. Robert T. Miller, the pastor of the Bingham Street M. E. Church, then spoke for 45 minutes in support of the prose cution. He dilated upon the letter and dwejt upon its bitter language as unbe coming, to say the least, for a minister of the gospel. He said he could not believe that the committee would consider Mr. Blashford to be such a man as Colonel Danks had called him. AVOBD FOB BLASHPOED. The committee had seen and heard Mr. Blashford, and would be able to judge of his character from his manner and language in their presence. Bev. Mr. Miller alluded', in a sarcastic way, to Colonel Danks' plea that he sent that letter to Mr. Blashford simply as a feeler, to find out if he really were the guilty party. He insisted that the language of the letter would not sustain that late day interpretation. Bev. Mr." Miller said that a cardinal teaching of Christianity, next to love of God.was "love for your fellow-men." This love, he insisted, had not been shown by the deiendant. Mis bitter letter and his utter ances were entirely inconsistent with that teaching of the Scriptures. He said that he felt that all the testimony showed that Colonel Danks, by reason of his belligerent temperament, was unfited for work in the Christian ministry. EEV. HE. COKE IK DEFENSE. Eev. J. Franklin Core, 'of "Yftlkinsburg, spoke for half an hour in defense or uoionei uanKs. jir. uore was, like his ecclesiastical client, a sol dier of the "Union. After elucidating the discipline regulations in regard to a minister's conduct, he proceeded to score Thomas Blashford, as a man who had pro ceeded, under the guise of friendship, to secure the ruin of a minister of the church. He was rather severe in his language. He alluded tonchingly to Colonel Danks' war record and to his family. He defended him for writing that letter, saying thatafter his return from conference he was "writhi ng underan avalanche of opprobrium unloosed and hurled upon him by his ire tended friend." Eev. Mr. Core said that Blashford, when he received the letter, had called in a co-conspirator and made a copy of it, which he caused to be published for the purpose of bringing further disgrace upon the pastor. During Mr. Core's speech the Colonel cried very bitterly. At a few minutes after 10 o'clock the committee went into executive session, and so continued for an honr and a half. Ac cuser and defendant with their attorneys were excluded from the room. The evi dence was discussed in detail, over and over, and at 11:30 the committee proceeded to a vote, as to whether Bev. John A. Danks had been guilty of conduct and language I unbecoming to a minister ot the gospel J By a large majority the general charge was sustained. The members then proceeded to diseuss the punishment. There was general agree ment that he must be removed from the active ministry. Some thought that he might still be fitted to be a local preacher, while others were uncertain whether that were possible under church law. Some even doubted whether he could remain a member of the church. As It was growing late, and no one was prepared to settle these points, it was voted that Bev. Mr. Leak.tne Chairman of the committee, should consult Bishop Foss this morning and report to a meeting of the committee at 10 o'clock. It will then require a very few minutes to draw up the finding, which will be reported to Conference about noon. It is settled, how ever, that Colonel Danks will be retired from active work as a minister of the Meth odist Episcopal Chnrch. Six young men were admitted to the ranks of the ministers at vesterday's morn ing session of the "H. E. Conference. On a vote of 44 to 31 the presiding elders of the various districts were appointed a commit tee to nominate standing committees. Messrs. "W. G. Mead, "W. C. Davis, "W. C. McAllister and Charles C. Emerson were advanced to traveling deacons of the second class. Bishop Foss next delivered a lengthy ad- dresB more directly intended for the benefit of the six young men who were about to enter the ministry. He cautioned them about devoting too much time to the f tapers for, they contained, he said, very ittle of what would be of use to a preacher. He advised them to read Greek and di rected their attention to Gladstone's "Theological Authority." The candidates were then put through a pro forma exami nation and were required to promise to abstain from the use of tobacco, which they did apparently reluctantly. The new ministers are: Frank Prosser, Dan H. McKee, Harry "W. Camp, "William Medley, Joseph "W. Gorland and "Will iam T. Robinson. They were reported to be close students and earnest church work ers. An adjournment for dinner was then taken. LADIES' MISSIONAET WOEK. The afternoon sessions were devoted to the "Women's Home Mission Society, several hundred members being present. The Bev. Mrs. C. "W. Smith presided. After the Bev. Mr. Beazell's address on the benefits of combined mission work, an interesting discourse was given by the Bev. "William McLaughlin, of New Orleans, on the fruits of missionary work in the South. Miss Isabella Thoburn made a lengthy speech on the benefit derived from trained nurses. Miss Thoburn was the first dea coness sent to India by the society. The re port of the Secretary, Mr. M. J. Schover, showed the society) be in first rate order. The evening session was devoted to the anniversary of the church extension work. The Itev. Dr. Kynett, editor of the Methodist Bi-Monthly Review, gave an address on the work of church extension. The general church extension work, he said, was near ing its twenty-fifth anniversary, having been instituted by the General Conference in 1854, but not perfected until nearly a year later. Since that time it has received and distributed about $2,400,000, which, with investments and interest, makes the total money handled about 3,700,000. MANY CHUECHES AIDED. The average per year was $150,000. In that time 7,000 churches have been aided. The Pittsburg Conference has donated about $40,000, and $5,000 has been paid to churches in it aud $3,500 loaned. Twenty-two churches in the conference have been aided. The most of the aid has been given to churches in the new "West and devastated Sonth. Dr. Kynett concluded with an earnest appeal for vigorous aid in the work. The Bev. Dr. "Wheeler followed with a few remarks on industrial education. He maintained that many crimes and offenses were dne to an unfitness for a practical life. The Bev. Dr. J. L. Chadwick, Secretary of the Freedmen's Aid Society, conclnded the meeting with an appeal for co-operation in the work for the colored men of the South; the30or40 institutions in that be half must be maintained. He finished with a euloey on the trade schools. This morning will be devoted to the gen eral business of the conference, and in the afternoon a memorial meeting will be held. To-night a missionary sermon will be deliv ered by the Rev. J. Knox. THE ELECTRIC PLANT BIDS. A Station Slay be' Located at North and Irwin ATcnnes. The city property committee of Allegheny met last night to read the bids for the exca vation of the electric light plant to be erected on the south side of Monument Hill. Only two bids were received. They, were as follows: "W. A. "Watson, $4,200, and D. "Winter & Bro., $3,950. The committee made a recommendation to Councils that the latter firm be eiven the contract. A suggestion was received that the build ing formerly occupied by the "White Ma chine Company, at the co'rner of North and Irwin avenues could be secured for the plant. A sub committee was appointed to ask the "Westinghouse Company to make a rebate equal to the cost of this building, it it was decided to erect the plant at this point HITHER AND THITHER. Movements of Flttibnrsers and Otheri of Wido Acquaintance. A. H. Bolton, of Staffordshire, Eng., with his son and daughter, are guests at tho Honongahela. Mr. Bolton is interested in aluminum works atLockport, and finds, as the result of an extended trip over the Lake Su perior district, that the metal can bo procured in snch quantities as to warrant a great ex pansion of the Lockport enterprise that be at first thought possible. He is Chairman of a company which controls an aluminum plant in Staffordshire, and it is his intention to import considerable quantities of the clay for treat ment by the electrical process in vogue at his English works. He is greatly taken with the uses to which natural eas is applied with us and cannot see the end of the Industrial devel opments that may arise from its uses. Charles A. Ashburner, the geologist, has returned from Ottawa, where he read a paoer on the natural gas Industries in the Can adian provinces. He said that there were many localities in the valley of tho Saint Law rence where gas could be obtained in sufficient quantities for use in the immediate vicinitv of the wells, provided that the drilling and loca tion were properly attended to. The Cana dians were Inexperienced in gas enterprises and they wonld And it advantageous to employ Pennsylvania welldriilers and methods of sup ply.

FREEZING AIR PIPES. A Cnrious Order is Being Filled in the Mills of Pittsburg. THE CONDUITS FOR SAN FRANCISCO. flow They Will be Utilized There in the Manufacture of Ice. THE EUSTLESS PB0CESS EXPLAINED A cnrious order has been received acd almost executed by a Lawrenceville firm from a large San Francicco artificial ice company. It call for two miles of six-inch diameter rustless iron pipes, to be used for passing cold air throngh them, and freezing large quantities of water. Hitherto this ice company has been obliged to replace this enormous mass of pipe every 8 months or at most 12 months. In the ordinary cast iron pipe the severity of the cold air pass ing through the pipe begins to rust the iron immediately they are put in use. By this new process, however, tne rusting is ob viated, and the pipes will last for 20 years without any apparent injury. The pipes are made in a zig-zag fashion, and are fast ened together by two tons of malleable iron fittings. They are fixed against the walls of compartments' about 500 feet in length and 75 feet in breadth, and the cold air is thus enabled to freeze thousands ot tons of ice. AN INTEEESTINO PROCESS. The rustless process, which has been until lately an experiment, has now demon strated that great economy can be used, not only in ice pipes, but in,every article where iron is used. In the past year over 2,000, 000 kettles have been subjected to this pro cess in Pittsburg. The method is very peculiar. After the article is made it is put into a furnace about Z feet high, 15 feet long and 8 feet broad. The furnace is made in an oval shape, air-tight. After the iron has been in the furnace for two hours, and it has attained almost a white heat, the air thatcomes through the regenerators and air valves is shut securely off, and the fur nace is MADE AIB-TIOHT. After the air has been shut off the super heater, which is located in the combustion chamber at the rear of the furnace, and at right angles from the air valves, is opened and the furnace is filled with steam and kept in this condition for eight hours. At short intervals a small valve is opened, so as to allow an exodns of steam in the furnace, al lowing fresh steam to be put into the fur nace. "When the artioles have been ten hours in the furnace there has been accomplished the formation of magnetio oxide upon the iron surface. They are then put into an acid well, which is the last treatment. A LAEGE BEPRESENTATIOff. Knight of Labor Delegates Take Action on Coal Matters. This telegram was received from Scott dale last night: To-day's session of the delegate meeting of the Division 4, K. of L,,was, if anything, better represented than yesterday's. The report of Master Workman KerfOot was completed, and showed surprising results in regard to the con dition of the order. The Committee on Resolu tions reported the following: Wiiekeas, The agreement under which the miners and coke workers of the Connellsville region are now working will expire on Feb ruary 9, 1S90, and as it is of the utmost import ance that we shonld be prepared to form an other agreement with our employers, be it Resolved, That a committee of five be se lected to draft a wage scale, to be submitted to all locals of this division for their considera tion. " Resolved, That a special convention be held on the third Tuesday in December to receive reports from the locals upon the scale and elect delegates to the National Convention. With regard to the Master Workman's recom mendation that coal should be weighed Instead of measured, the following was passed: Resolved, That It is the sense of this conven tion that a single standard should be estab lished by which miners should be paid, and that snch standard shonld be by weight. Tne following resolution with regard to the condition of the men in Indiana and Illinois was unanimously adopted: Whereas, Havine heard of the condition of the miners in the block coal regions of Indi ana, we deeply deplore the misery and dnstitn. tion consequent upon the injustice the opora- tuis are vuueavunug m impose, yet we aamire the heroism, courage and self-sacrifice mani fested in this straggle for their rights and the rights of others. Therefore be it Resolved. That we extend to our fellow craftsmen in Indiana and Illinois our sincere sympathy, and pledge them, all the material aid in oar power, and we recommend that each local assembly In this division take the neces sary steps to collect 25 cents every two weeks to support onr struggling brothers in Indiana and Illinois, said collection to be taken regularly until victory shall perch upon their banners. Several grievances were reported, all of which were reported to the Executive Board, which was given full power to make settle ments. THE NEW SUPERINTENDENTS. They Are the Men Whom the Idle Captain Jones Wonld Hnvo Chosen. A gentleman who was intimately ac quainted with the late Captain Jones said yesterday: "I was in Braddock yesterday when the new appointments were made known, and I gathered from several of the leading employes with whom I spoke on the matter, that the men regarded them with satisfaction. "By a very curious chance I happened to speak to Captain Jones a day or two prior to his unfortunate accident, on the question of how the management of the works would go in the event ot anything befalling him. He remarked that he did not think the company would again appoint one man as general manager of both the Homestead and Braddock plants, and that each of the works would in future have its own manager. "Whether the man agement had any knowledge of the Captain's wayof thinking with regard to the abilities of the two new superintendents I cannot say, but he told me that both Schwab and Potter were men of sufficient capacity to un dertake the management of, respectively, the Edgar Thomson and Homestead "Works, and that most likely they would occupy in the future the positions named. The Home stead position he regarded as the more im partant post of the two, as there both iron and steel are operated and the work more diversified, and I remember he specifically mentioned John Potter's name in connection with the Homestead superintendency. Potter has been de facto manager of these works for a considerable time, as Jones re posed the most implicit confidence in him and in his managerial capacity. This was rather a remarkable forecast, but not one whit out of keeping with the man, who pos sessed rare judgment of his fellow men and a keen insight into their character." THAT MUSICAL TROUBLE. A Delegate to Visit the Knights of Labor General Officers. L. A. 1583, Knights of Labor, musicians, will send a delegate to Philadelphia next week to appear before the General Execu tive Board and further explain the trouble between the assembly and the M. M. P. TJ. The members of the assembly are perfectly satisfied that the decision of the board will be satisfactory to them, but they wish to have no misunderstanding among the of ficials about their side of the case. Iron nnd Steel Advancing. Bessemer pig has reached $22, the figure at which it may become profitable for En glish dealers to export to this country. That they will be allowed to take advantage of this boom in the commodity is very un likely. "Within the last two months pig iron has advanced from $11 50 to $16, with a prospective increase, muck bar has ad vanced $2, Bessemer pig jumped to $21 from $16 75 and steel blooms and billets have increased flTlo'fJTfl). Slabs were $1" better than blooms, selling yesterday at $34 per ton. THE H'KNIGHT MUDDLE. Arbitrator Will Meet Again In Tula City on Tuesday. t The Board of Arbitrators, appointed to settle the controversy between James Mc Knight and the State about the work done at Johnstown, will meet again in this city Tuesday next. Adjutant General Hastings will be present and will do all he can to strighten the matter out. Labor Point. ' The Carbon Iron Company are about to erect two 60,000-pound onen hearth furnaces. E. B. Leisenbino, who owns 0,000 acres of coke lands in West Virginia, intends erecting a string of ovens within a short date. J. J. Holland, of the General Execntive Board, Knights of Labor, will address the next meeting of the General Assembly, at Atlanta, Ga., next month, on the question of colored labor in the South. Mr. Holland claims that the Knights of labor shonld take In hand the matter of showing colored workers that more material advantage will accrue to them from organizing for their social advancement, rather than by devoting so much money and attention to political questions. He thinks that tho Knig"tats of Labor will take up the matter from his standpoint. AN ILL-BEHAYED C0NDU0T0E. A niDBer-In of Fares Held for Court for Striking a Passenger. A hearing in the case of Mead, the con ductor of street car No. 103, who was charged with throwing "Wilson from the car a week ago, was had last night before Alderman Porter. Mead was held for court in $1,000 forfeit Mrs. Daikens, of Thirty-second street, tes tified that as she was alighting from the car at her house, she saw the conductor kick and strike "Wilson on the face. She fnrther said that Mead pushed him off the platform. Other witnesses gave similar testimony. Mead was heard in his own defense, and swore that "Wilson got on the car at Twenty eighth street and remained on the platform. He received his fare and requested him to take a seat inside, but this he refused to do, saying that if he could not remain on the platform he would take baok his money and get off. He was refunded his fare, and' then refused to leave the car. Mead admitted having struck and pushed "Wilson. Alderman Porter said that no doubt con ductors of street cars were at times pro voked by obstreperous passengers. He could not justify his action, for he had been guilty of a transgression of the law. The Superintendent of the road went Mead's bail. A MISGUIDED BLOW. While Assisting- an Officer a Citizen Was Blneed. Jack Howard, who lives on Magee street, was arrested by Officer Cleary last night, after a severe struggle, at the corner of Fifth avenue and Tunnel street. He was landed in the Central station, with several ugly scalp wounds Inflicted by Cleary's mace. Howard was standing on the corner insulting ladies. The officer ordered him to go home. He refused to do so and a strug gle ensued. A citizen by the name of McKenna tried to assist the officer, but was knocked out by a misguided blowrom the officer's mace. He had to retire to a drug store to have his injury dressed. A CHEEBI ALLEI FIGHT, Edward McAfee Again Arrested for Disor derly Conduct. About 10 o'clock last night a crowd col lected in Strawberry alley by the screams of a woman and the curses of a man in the house of James McAfee. Several officers ran to the place 'but could not get into the aouse. ac aoors ana windows were, locked, but the officers could hear the sound of blows. After several attempts to gain an entrance the officers drove the crowd out of the alley and then secreted themselves until Edward McAfee made his appearance. He fought viciously, but Lieutenant Denniston and Officer Kelter finally managed to get him to Central station. The woman was not badly hurt. THE TEACHERS' EXCURSION.

The Lutheran Conference Dead Set Against the German School. VIOLATING THE CONTRACT LAW. A Lively Discussion Followed on the Missionary Subject, 7AEI0US COMMITTEES APPOINTED The Lutheran General Council continued kits session vesterday. A report was pre sented by Dr. Jacobs on ''Preaching in Other Than Lutheran Churches," which elicited a warm discussion. The following committees were then announced: On president's report Revs. W. 8. Laird, D. D..J. A. Knnkleman, D. D., J. B. Bteinhauser, J. F. Fab. S. P. A. Lindahl and Messrs. Q. H. Hollers, F.

On treasurer's report Messrs. J. 8. Mttrt C. R. Lantz and J. B. Kearcben. In the report of the Committee on German Home Missions Dr. J. Nicum, of Rochester, stated that Texas still persists in refusing Northern aid. An effort will be made to unite the people with theXutheran Council. St. Martin's Church, of Austin, had asked for help, bnt it was refused because the Texas Synod was opposed to it. LEFX AXONE TO HTJ3TIiE. The committee severed connection with the missions in the northwestern part of Dakota and in Nebraska because they were 1.600 miles distant. Since then those mis sions have had no synodical connection. The committee advised them to unite with the Iowa Synod. The committee has con tributed $600 annually to the support of a mission in Manitoba which has been estab lished by the Canada Synod. That part of the report which referred to the dropping of the missions in Dakota and Nebraska brought forth a great deal of censure. Dr. Seiss said that if the $20,000 which had been sunk in the Krnpp Theo logical Seminary had been spent in home missions the report wonld hare been a much better one. The next point in the report was that the New York ministeriuzn had requested the committee to bring up for reconsideration the question of the Krupp Theological Seminary. This was the signal for a warm ueuaie. xne seminary at itrupp, Germany, has been a bone of contention for several years. At the meeting of the General Coun cil in 1887 the matter reached a climax, and a committee was appointed to make a tnorougn investigation into it, and report to the next General Council. This committee, of which Bev. J. A. Seiss, D. D., was Chairman, was composed of some of the most able men in the General Council. Eev. J. Paulson, leader of the Theological Seminary at Krupp, was pres ent at the first meeting of the committee, which was held In Philadelphia October 14, 1887, and the matter was thoroughly eluci dated on both sides. The committee did not take any definite action, but referred the matter to a sub-committee. PAULSON'S FIERCE ATTACK. Dr. Paulson attacked the committee in his newspaper, and then they resolved that it was impolitic and useless' to continue official connection with the school. At the General Council in 1888 in Minneapolis the resolution was indorsed, and a few others to the same effect added. Yesterday, after a lengthy and warm dis cussion, the Conference declined to change its action. It was urged against the semin ary that their gradnates are not -posted tori "American life and threfm ...- f'filted to preach here: that the school is conducted by teachers who are not responsible to the General Council, and that Dr. Paulson bad also Cut loose, and refused to retract in public what he said about the Philadelphia Seminary, though he ad mitted in private that he had Deen misin formed. It was also urged to be a violation of the contract law to bring preachers from Germany. Eor the $20,000 spent on Krupp, 0 ministers had been educated. In the evening Eev. J. E. Eahs, of Akron, preaohed about the Pharisee and Publican. NEW MUSICAL CLUB. The Lovers of Mendelssohn on the Sonth aide Organize.

Two years ago, during the fair week, the residences of Sheriff Irons, Postmaster Donehoo and Lawyers James Cunningham and D. S. Naugle, were burglarized one night, and a large amount of plunder, consisting chiefly of silverware, carried off. A few days later some ot Mr. Naugle's silver spoons were found in a satchel on the river bank, but no clew could bebtalned to the robbers. About three months ago Detectives Lazarus, of Rochester, and Cowell, of Allegheny, ar rested a man named Gordon on suspicion of robbing the Pennsylvania Company freight cars. He confessed to being one of the thieves, and implicated "William Pickle, proprietor of a jewelry Store And auction room in Beaver Falls. His place was searched and a large part of the railroad company's goods found. Fickie was placed under arrest and gave bail, Jacob Cline, an aged, respected and wealthy farmer of Pulaski township, going on his bond for $1,000 for his appear ance at court. About three weeks ago Kirk & Ewing's store in Rochester was burglarized of $300 worth of goods. De tective Lazarus obtained information soon after, that led him to believe, that the resi dence of Mr. Cline, FIckie's bondsman, was used as a repository for stolen goods, and, armed with a search warrant, he visited the farmer's house and searched it. He found a large quantity of goods, consisting princi pally of silverware-. The goods were taken to Rochester and placed in Shroeder's jewelry store for identification. This morning Mr. Nangle visited the store and at onee recognized some of the silverware as being that stolen from him two years ago. "When the goods were found at Cline's house the farmer stated that he had bought tnem irom a lckie. Officer Lazarus went to Beaver Falls this afternoon aud arrested Fickie on a charge of larceny and receiving stolen goods. He was brought here, and in default of bail was committed to jail by Justice Moore for a bearing on Mondav. The officers here think they are noV in a fair way to run down the gang who have been doing so much stealing- in the Beaver Valley re cently. WONDERFUL WEEK THISt At H.
