representatives Were Here and Made an
Investigation.
A LOCAL TRUST WILL SOT BE FORMED
The purchase of the Pittshurc; breweries
by an English syndicate has been declared
off. The price that the syndicate was f will
ing to pay and the sums asked by the
brewers differed by $1,000,000. Neither side
would relax from their figures, and cense
quentlyall options were surrendered and
the deal relegated to the dead past
A Tew davs aero eight representatives of
the svndicate came to Pittsburg five En
glishmen, including one London lawyer,
and three Xew Tork men who were also
accompanied by their attorney. They mi
nutely inspected the property and business
of the Tarious breweries, and concluded that
thev were unable to invest their capital in
the'concerns to obtain a fair interest for the
cash that they were asked to invest. They
made an offer, however, to the representa
tive of the brewers which was declined.
The syndicate left the citymuch discomfited
about" the way matters had turned. Mr. J.
J. O'Eilcy, the syndicate agent, speaking
to a Dispatch reporter last night, said:
THE PEICES TOO STEEP.
"The prices asked by the Pittsburg brew
ers were so outrageously high that no body
of "men in their sane minds who wanted to
invest money with a hope that a lair re
muneration would result from the invest
ment, could possibly consider the purchase
of the breweries at the figure asked. Out
of the 15 properties, only three asked prices
within the reach of the syndicate. The En
glishmen were ready to purchase 14 out of
the 15 breweries, but they would not dicker
witn a less numoer. Alter an investigation
into the condition of the buildings and the
business done by each individual firm, they
concluded none were worth the figures
asked. "When the books were inspected,
the yearly returns from each brewery proved
that no such Utopian figures would be con
sidered for a moment. It was apparent from
the first that there was a disposition on the
part of the Pittsburg brewers to hold their
places of business. If it had been otherwise,
something like a reasonable price would
have been offered.
THET MEANT BUSINESS.
"The syndicate was sincere in their desire
to purchase the breweries. They demon
strated that by the fact that thev were will
ing to pay a good price for the whole lot.
They came here and personally inspected
the concerns, and based upon their investi
gations an offer was made which was tair
and reasonable. This was repudiated, and
the syndicate surrendered the options and
left the city.
"A report has been circulated that a trust
would be formed among the brewers of the
city to regulate beer prices. No such trust
has ever been considered by the reputable
brewers of Pittsbure. I believe that one
brewer, however, suggested after the syndi
cate declared the options off to boom a local
trust, but this suggestion was scouted by
every other brewer, and you mav say from
me that as long as Pittsburg is Pittsburg no
such trust will be formed. The men in the
trade would rather cell their beer in a keen
competitive market than have the prices
controlled by a trust"

the kind invitation.
At the last annual banquet of the club a
letter was read from Hon. E. B Taylor, in
which he stated that the most enthusiastic
meetings ever held in the "Western Eeserve
was on the occasion of the visit of the
Americus Club with Hon. John Dalzell,
who made a telling speech there two years
ago. The "Western Reserve needs much
enthusiasm to bring the people out and it
is thought they will b of great assistance.
It is intended, as before, to take some noted
member and speaker of the club along.
The fare for the round trip will be small
and the trip will occupy but little time, and
it is confidently expected, it it is decided to
go, that at least 200 members will be in line.
Governor Foraker is very popular with the
individual members of the club, and it needs
only be known that they can aid him by
their presence to attract a large crowd.
The Executive Committee will likely not
decide to call a special meeting, but will
notify each member, the time being limited,
and be governed by the number of replies.

The Work of the State Convention nt New
Casllo Renewed and Discussed Con
gratulations Passed.
The meeting of the Young Men's Chris
tian Association, in its hall, on Penn ave
nue, last night was animated. The dele
gates to the late X. M. C. A. con
vention in New Castle, were giv
ing their experience and their im
pressions of the convention. Short speeches
were made by Messrs. John Crawford, J.
Palmer, Davis, Dripps, Bevier, Callender,
Westervelt, Brown, Griggs, Captain Etfl
wood, Mentha!, Metzgar, Secretary Orr.
Porter, Frazier, Thompson, Controller Mor
row, E. "W. Kiefer, Jones, Clark and Presi
dent J. F. Kobinson.
The general tenor of the speeches was
laudatory of the work done at the State
Convention. Mr. "Westervelt was especially
gratified at the interest the women took in
the work there, and predicted that through
their influence many young brands would
be plucked from the burning ere the evil
one had fired all the good out or them. . Mr.
Robinson told of the great wort that was
being done among railway men. Secretary
urr stated that over 56,000 had been secured
for State and international work, and that
Mr. Porter had agreed that if another $1,000
were raised, he wonld complete the sum
needed" 57,600 bv capping it with S500.
Messrs. H. C. "Westervelt, T. M. Dripps,
Eobert Taggart, T. M. Lyon and G. M.
Paden were appointed a committee to raise
money for State and international work, and
empowered to receive small sums thankfully
and larger ones in proportion.
While the gathering was composed almost
wholly of young men, it was noticeable that
there didn't appear to be.any hodcarriers
among them, nor, in fact, any men with cal
loused hands, ana the fact seemed somewhat
strange, considering there are no creed bar
riers in the organization. Those present,
however, appeared to think there could be
no doubt that the work was of God and that
it was accomplishing very great good in the
vineyard, both in the United States and in

The attendance was large and the kickers

objected to the amounts given to them as
not being large enough, and those assessed
for the damages objected because their as

Hngher, the Cable Watchman, Tears a Child
From Under the Wheels.
There is a watchman at the Market and
Fifth avenue end of the cable line who
demonstrated his use in that capacity yes
terday in a way that caused in everybody a
thrill of admiration.
At about 4:30 "Hughey" was limping
around the circuit a trifle ahead of the
wheels as usual, and waving everybody
away from the dangerous slot.
Hughey limped, not from any infirmity,
but from sheer weariness, for the position he
holds permits of no easy chairs. At least
200 people were crowded about the square,
awaiting cars for the Exposition or Alle
gheny, when cable 2fo. 13 came swinging
around the curve.
Somebody, a woman, screamed; the crowd
shook with horror; there was a rush of dusty
russet clothes; a little girl's hat was ground
beneath the iron wheels, but her golden
head was safe on Hughey's shoulder, saved
by a hair's breadth.
A pretty thing," muttered a bystander
as iuc iwgutcucu uuua mrneo to wave a
sweet kiss at the impassive man who saved
her. "A pretty thing, hut that is what
he's there for," and the crowd passed on,
just a little better for the act of one man not
afraid of his dutv.
Little "Willie Morrow, of the Bethany
Home, who one week ago last Thursday,
suffered a stroke ot paralysis, which de
prived him of the use of his left arm and
limb, and his powers or speech is now per
fectly well, and will enter school to-morrow
morning. His recovery is considered al
most miraculous, as it was effected entirely
by faith and prayer. In an interview with
a Dispatch reporter yesterday, Mr. Mor
row, the father ot "Willie, said:
"Yes, it is true my son has entirely re
covered from nis stroke of paralysis and
without the aid of a physician other than
the Lord. Mrs. Morrow and I were East
when it happened and they telegraphed us.
I was intending to start home the day I got
the message, but Mrs. Morrow was going to
remain a few days longer. "We were not at
all alarmed about his condition, because we
have given both of our children to the Lord,
and so Mrs. Morrow stayed while I came on,
but the next day my wife
came also, not that she was
worried, but she thought Willie would
want to see her. His condition was serious
at first, but he gradually began to improve,
and now, excepting a slight stoppage in his
speech, is perfectly well."
In reply to further interrogations, Mr.
Morrow suggested that an interview with
the boy himself wonld perhaps be more
satisfactory.
WILLIE IS A BRIGHT LAD.
Willie proved to be a bright-eyed lad of
15 years, very small for his age, but above
the usual intelligence and not averse to
talt.
He said that as he was dressing for break
fast on the morning in question he lost con
trol of his left side and vocal organs. He
felt sure 'that it was God's will, and
was willing to trust to Him. He was
not alarmed; did not think he was
going to die, and did not want a physician
other than the Lord. He wanted to see his
parents, bnt only as any child would wish
to. His answer as to what his father said
to him upon his return was, "Why, papa
just said, 'Willie, of conrse you know you
will get well.' " Regarding his means of
recovery, he said:
"Papa and mamma and I prayed, and
perhaps some of the rest did." As to
whether he had suffered much illness in his
life his reply was, "Well, not so extra much,
but just a year ago I had diphtheria, and
then I thought I was going to die, but I
didn't want a physician even then, for if it
was the Lord's will I was ready to go.
THET HAD GEEAT FAITH.
"My little sister was sick at the same
time, but we both got well bv faith and
prayer." The young man then moved his
arm in every conceivable manner; to show
what perfect control he had over it, and as
he was apparently anxious to return to his
playmates he was excused.
The interview continued with a colored
servant found in the hall. Her frequent
ejaculations regarding the goodness ot the
Lord retarded the gaining of knowledge
rapidly, but by patience and persever
ance it was learned that when
Willie failed to appear at breakfast
she went to his room, thinking
he had not awakened. Beceiving no re
sponse to her knocks, she opened the door
and there found him on the floor, unable to
move or speak. She got him on the bed and
went down to inform the inmates of the
borne. She watched him and prayed for
him, asked him if he wanted a physician,
and received for answer a negative motion
of the head. Their prayers were answered
very shortly and signs of improvement were
visible. Now they all blessed the Lord for
a most wonderfnl proof of his love and care
of those who had faith.

Judge White Gives Dimmer 13 Year, bat
Was f-orrj the Law Limited the Number
Other Cnses Disposed Of.
Joseph Dimmey, the negro who was found
guilty of killing Special Officer William
Miller, of Allegheny, was sentenced to 12
years in the penitentiary by Judge White
yesterday. Dimmey was brought Into court,
and his attorney, Thomas Marshall, Jr., asked
that the Court"ba as lenient with him as possi
ble, as he had already been in confinement for
more than a year. When asked if he had any
thing to say, the prisoner answered 'nothing."
Judge White then said that the case was one
bordering between first and second degree, and
had the juiy found a verdrct in the first degree
the Court would not have disturbed it Judge
White further said:
"I wish the law relating to murder in tne sec
ond degree gave the Court the discretion as to
the imprisonment. There are times when the
limit of 12 years for that offense is hardly a suf
ficient venalty. In your case, Joseph Dimmey,
the sentence, of this court is that you undergo
an imprisonment of 12 years in the Western
Penitentiary." He was then led back to the
jail, and subsequently taken to that institution
in Allegheny.
Judge White also passed sentence on C.
Cochran for selling liquor without a license,
8500 fine and a j ear to the workhouse; William
Scott, for illegal liquor selling, $500 fine and six
months to the workhouse. Barrett Able, for
assault and battery, was sent to the Reform
School, and sentence was enspended in the case
of Mary Brennan for illegal liquor selling,

An English Precedent Found Covering the
Slot Machine.
The familiar "drop a nickel In the slot" ma
chine, though apparently insignificant and
harmless, has figured in the highest court of
Eng land. The record of the case, which is the
only o ne of tbo kind in the world, has been re
ceived at the Law Library, and establishes a
peculiar precedent. The case in question is
that of the Crown against Hands for larceny.
The following is the syllabus of the case:
To obtain an Egyptian.Beauties' cigarette
place a penny In the box and push the knob as
far as it will go, such were the inscriptions on
an automatic cigarette box outside the assem
bly rooms at Cheltenham, placed there by the
proprietor of the rooms, a Mr. Shenton. Tho
automaton, however, was so inexperienced m
the ways and wiles of the world that it used to
yield up its treasures at the bidding, not only
of pennies, hut of worthless brass discs. It
was held that the prisoner for taking advant
age of the sweet creature's innocence and get
ting bis cigarettes in this easy and inexpensive
manner could be convicted of larceny.
Lord Coleridge, -England's Chief Justice, m
deciding the question when it came before him
as to the offleuse being a larceny said: "The
means by which the cigarette was made to
come out of the box were fraudulent, and the
cigarette so maae to come out was appropn
ated. There was undoubtedly a larceny com'
mitted."

The Jr. O. U. A. M. Have Raised 81,000

"When the school directors of Johnstown
announced, a few weeks ago, that they were
badly in need of funds and that under the
laws of the State Department they could
not borrow any more money, appealing for
help, State Vice Councilor Stephen Collins
of the Jr. O. U. A. M. of this State, took'
the matter in hand.
Although the order in this State had
already contributed $7,450 in cash and 15
carloads of clothing and provisions to the
stricken city, another appeal was made in
behalf of the public schools whose welfare
the order is sworn to protect. The appeal
was sent out two weeks ago. Already over
?1,000 has been sent in by diflerent lodges
of the State, and as some of the larger
branches have not been heard from, the
fund is expected to swell considerably be

The Arbnckle Well Is Stirring Up a
Scramble for a Lease Allegntions lUade.
J. M. Patterson had the farm of Michael
Beck, adjoining the Arbuckle farm, leased
for a nominal consideration, and was holding
it to await developments.
It is stated that the arrangement was that
the rent should be deposited to Beck's order
at bcully.s bank, and that when Beck
called at the bank, some time before the
strike on the Arbuckle farm, he found that
the lease had lapsed, at least this is claimed,
by non-payment of two months' rent. He.
then leased the farm to S. D. Eobinson, of
Titusville, $100 bonus to be paid and one
fourth or the oil, if any found, and 500 for
each well bored that should yield gas in
paying quantity, a well to be drilled by
.January i, ism
About the time this arrangement had been
consummated, or shortly after, Beck got
notice from the bank that the money due
from Patterson for rent had been deposited,
and Patterson and Beck are now glaring at
each other. The question as to whether the
lease was forfeited may get into court for
settlement.

it appear that the Arbuckle well is not
likely to prove any great affair, they had not
received any notice at the store of anv dere

the convenience of voters. Dr. H. B, O'Conner,
Adam Henning and Charles Davis were ap
pointed commissioners to make the division.
A return was made to court yesterday in
the inquisition as to the sanity of Mrs. Char
lotte Wallace, finding her a lunatic and incom
petent to care for her estate. Wm. Wallace
was appointed a committee to take charge of
of her, and to give bond in the sum of 10,000.
The resignation of L; F. Hull as deputy con
stable of Coraopolis borough was filed and ac
cepted In the Quarter Sessions Court yesterday.
R. F, Conkle bad petitioned to be released from
Hull's bond, alleging that Hull's conduct had
been irregular. The Court ordered Hull to
furnish new bond, but instead he filed his
resignation1.
A rule was issued on John and Stewart
Well, the Exposition has come to a close,
in an abnormal blaze of glory, though it
must be remembered the blaze last night was
of the proper color attendant upon the clos
ing of a successful venture successfully run.
That the last is the best of all the game
has passed down into history, and is only
contradicted by the small boy at the foot of
the class, who spelled "correct; with a "K."
The rule holds good with the Pittsburg
Exposition, however, and Saturday night
wound up the whole thing so beautifully
that the safe door unlocked its own com
bination in order to smile a welcome to the
profits of the season a round $40,000, and
no mistake. That tha p-rnenspR rennhed
that enormous sum in 40 days is no
discredit to the management, but rather an
argument of its efficiency. When Vice
President Bindley, who has had the manage
ment of the affair (with Manager Johnston)
said he was willing to spend 50,000 the first
year if he could make another $50,000, he
probably meant it, as the above figures go
to show.
A word now as to the management of this
colossal affair that has virtually rained sil
ver dollars into this city for 40 days and 40
nights. The board ib "well known to the
city from the President on down the line to
the pretty stenographer, as they probably
have received all credit that' is due them in
view ofthe fact that the following figures
are official, aud show a recognition of their
efforts that speak far more eloquently than
words:
SOME LARGE-SIZED FIGURES.
Average attendance, 10.000; total attend
ance, 400,000; highest attendance, 33,000;
lowest attendance, 4,000; total cash receipts,
$85,000; net profit to society, 542,500.
These figures, though not verified by the
books of the office, are as close to the truth
as can be arrived at until the records are
printed. Of course the phenomenal success
of the affair has given rise to rumors of
more or less consequence regarding the Ex
position of 1890. The departure of Man
ager Johnston to Paris, and sundry hints
thrown out by the board, however, go to
show the old wharf along Duquesne, and
the even more ancient horse market will
erelong be a thing of tie past, if the Ex
position officials have their way.
GOOD MUSIC APPRECIATED.
The great Innes Thirteenth Regiment
Band, that has created what might be called
a Inrore, even in chilly Pittsburg, has been
equally pleased with "this city, and Innes
said last night he conld only reconcile him
self to leaving Pittsburg anji her people be
cause he was going to his old home for the
winter New York.
A lively row arose in floral hall last night
that caused the management considerable
annoyance for a while, but as it resulted
only in good to everybody the story can be
cut short
j.ne war is a war oi tne roses, and in
volved Messrs. Murdoch. Lndwier and
LRicheter and Elliot, and the four-hands-
arouna-ana-oaiance-all ensued, from the
fact that the last named firm had stopped
the other two houses from selling flowers,
unless they were allowed to sell. Director
D. C. Ripley was called in as arbitrator, but
his good offices availed little, while Captain
Batchelor was equally impotent, if not "more
so.
The affair finally became wound np in
such a snarl of misspaced spaces and
broken verbal contracts that everybody
unitedtin placing the blame of the whole
muddlejipon poor Manager Johnston, who
is no doubt sick, enough on the bosom of old
ocean. All flowers were given away last
night, so the row resulted In something
good, as the pleasure experienced by one
who receives a lovely gift can never be ap
preciated by one who pays for it in cold,
hard cash.
DIRECTORS NEED BEST.
Most of the directors will leave for a short
vacation after the affair is settled np for the
year, and even overworked Tom Fitzpatrick
will find a week or two of leisure now. That
there is a certain amount osredit due some
body for the great success ot the affair, no
one doubts, as the little niche cut by the
p'resent Exposition will not be a marker to
the glorious figures of future years. The
credit, however, must be equally divided
among the splendid exhibits, an apprecia
tive public and the following board of officers:
S. a Marvin, President: John Bindley. Vice
President; A. F." Keating, Treasurer: James
W. Batchelor, Secretary; J. H. Johnston, Gen

Miss H. Smith, of New York, who bas
been here since September supervising the
introduction of the new drawing system,
has received word from the firm which she
represents that she may be called upon at
any time to leave Pittsburg to go else
where, probably St. Louis. Miss Smith
will retnrn at a future period to see the pro
gress the teachers have made. She thinks
they have done well, so far, Pittsburg's
educational people w.ill be surprised to learn
that Miss Smith is to leave the city, for
they think their knowledge of the new
branch is in its most preliminary stage.
They would like to know more about It than
they do at present
On Wednesday evening the Forbes School
Board will elect teachers for the evening
schools and an additional teacher for day
school. Whether ihe latter will be a writing
and drawing teacher or as'slst as a regular
teacher is yet to be decided. All the regular
schoolrooms are now occupied in this build
ing; tbere'is a basement, bnt this, one of
the directors said yesterday, will likely be
utilized for day school purposes. There are
over 300 pupils who belong to other wards
who attend the Forbes school. From the
present great increase the time will come
when these pupils cannot be allowed to
attend.
The list of applicants for the position of
preceptress at the High School is further
increased this, week by Miss M. Funden
berg. Assistant Principal of the Lawrence
school, and Miss Salt, of Bath, New York.
The latter lady sends her picture with her
application.
The teachers will receive their pay for the

Chief Evans said the advantages were
very great in the ability to turn the truck

no tillerman and in being capable oi being
hauled by one team of horses. "It can be

FURNITURE. FURNITURE,
In no place in the city can be found such an aggregation of elegant de
signs in the different articles of manufactured furniture as are to be
found in our immense emporium. Our different floors are taxed e -their
utmost capacity to hold the goods, and in the present crowded
condition it does not do the goods justice in having them displayed
to such disadvantage, notwithstanding we are doing an immense
business. The people "have found out where they are not taxed
two prices for what they need, and purchase accordingly. We
have a few specialties to which we would call your attention.
The first is!
FOLDING BEDS! The Phoenbc Rochester, Ideal and
Turk&Vbss are our principal makes.
They have unstinted praise from all parties who have used
them. The makers are always behind on their orders.
This shows the popularity of their goods. Blow and
bluster don't make it go genuine merit does. ..
MATTRESSES! Remember one-third of your life t ,
is spent in bed. Therefore the
best mattress made is none too good for you. We .
make them up of the best hair and guarantee you' '
will get what you pay for every time.

really artistic pieces of furniture. Nothing,
shows a dining room off to better advantage ,

Yon bet we are getting there with both
feet. Such remarkable trade as we have had
during the past week is more than we ever
anticipated. Our sales have increased more
than 50 per cent during the past few weeks,
and we had to work night and day to keep
from being entirely overwhelmed.
Almost in despair of ever catching np
with our orders, we inserted a large adver
tisement for six experienced clerks. As this
is as many men as any other store employs

floated through the minds of the readers.
But to those that knew we already had
about 40 men employed, an addition of six
more did not mean anvthincr imnrobable.
By the next day we had seven new men at
work aud were whooping things up for all
they were worth. We are now in prettv
good shape again, and expect to get out afl
our orders promptly in the future.
While thanking our friends for their
kindness in favoring us with their orders,
we would call their attention to the fact
that about the 10th of each month is general
payday throughout Western Pennsylvania
and west Virginia. A great many people
want their goods at this time who cannot
order at any other time. ' Where it is con
venient to do so, it would be a great help to
us if our friends conld send in their orders a
week before or a week after the 10th of the
month. But we want your orders no mat
terwheu they are sent, and we will rnstle
them out as quickly as we can.
We would call your especial attention to
our tea department this we"k. We can

groceries, but we can save ynu 50 per cent
on your teas. This is not an exaggeration,
but a fact. Come and drink a cup of our
