W THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH, MONDAY, OCTOBER .-21, -X ' ' 1889. I I T Lively Scenes in St. Paul's Methodist Clmrch. f-A YOUNG LADY ORGANIST Eesents the Unexplained Dismissal From Her Position. f SHE TALKS BIGHTOOT IS MEETING. t. Unexpected Interrnptions to the Solemn Church Service. THE TEODBLE A LONG TIME BBEWIKG Eev. John G. Gogley yesterday began his fifth year as pastor of St. Paul's Methodist Church in Bloomheld. The year did not besin auspiciously. For over a year a part of tne membership has been dissatisfied with the minister, claiming that he is domineer ing. A number of the oldest members have ceased to attend the church, claiming that Hev. Mr. Gogley crowded them out of offi cial place because they would not always bend to his will. Among these old members is Mr. 'William Bast, who was one of the founders of the church. He has been for some time dissat isfied with the pastor's methods. Mrs. Bast is the President of the Ladies' Aid Society of the church, and that society has been at cross purposes with the pastor for several months. Last June the so ciety prepared to send garments to the flood sufferers at Johnstown. When this inten tion came to the ears of Kev. Mr. Gogley he informed some of the ladies that they must not send the garments without his consent. The clothinsr was sent, however. Miss Liz zie Bast has been the organist for the church and the Sabbath school for eight years, since she was a little girl. She has per formed her duties well, but without pay, and has even refused a salaried position for another church. A SECOND CnOIE OBCAXIZED. The church has had, for several years, a capable choir of ladies and gentlemen, who have frequently been praised by pastor, congregation and visitors for their excellent singing. This choir has not sung for the Sabbath school, and the music committee proceeded to organize a choir of young peo ple for that service. The music committee consists of M. A. O'Brien, a shoemaker; Robert Muir, a tea merchant, and "William Robinson, a brick layer. The female members of the choir belong to the Ladies' Bible class in the Sabbath school, and they refused to have Mr. O'Brien ior their teacher. They be lieved that the shoemaker determined, for that reason, to get them out and other singers in. Prior to the meeting of thp Pittsburg conference at East Liberty all the officers of the church for the current year were chosen, with the exception of the organist Of the seven trustees elected, three were new members, and Mr. O'Brien was placed at the head of the board. The first public scene occurred in the Sabbath school at 2 o'clock yesterday after noon. "When Miss Bast appeared to ocenpy her place at the organ and lead the singing, Mr. M. E. Anderson, the superintendent, called her aside and told her that a choir had been made up and that she would not be required to play the organ. THE LADY TVAS PAINED. The young lady was not only greatly sur prised but sorely pained. She asked why she had been so suddenly removed. Mr. Anderson replied that the change had been made by the music committee, bnt that she need not ask them their reason, because they would not reveal it. Miss Pogue went to the organ and the new choir, composed of five young ladies and one young man, took their places. "When the lesson for tne day had been read, MLss Bast arose and made qnite a speech. Sbe demanded that she should be given the reason for her removal, as she knew that she had been acceptable lor many years. Superintendent Anderson said that the change applied only to the Sabbath school, and that it had been thought best to organize a choir ot young people who would work together. Mr. John "Williams, one ot the teachers, arose and spoke in praise of Miss Bast. He declared himself unable to see any just cause for her removal. Mr. "Williams then picked up his hat and left -the church. Another gentleman moved that the school extend to Miss Bast a vote of thanks, bnt that spirited young lady said that she wonld not have it OKGASIST AND CHOIE STEUCK. Last evening the church was crowded. The congregation was much larger than is usua1 at evening service. The Fourth PrsDyterian Church was closed, and many of ts members were at the Methodist Church. Miss Bast took her place at the organ and the members of the old choir were in their seats. Rev. Mr. Goglev read the opening hymn. "When he had finished Miss Bast stood up and astonished the congrega tion and pastor by saying that she would re sign her position. She had been displaced, without assigned reason, from the place of organist in tne Sabbath school, and if she were not good enough to play there sne would not play at the church services. Her words were emphasized with tears, and she stepped down to a seat in the congreaation. One of the male singers announced that the choir would go with the organist, and every one ot them left their places and sat in a row on the front seat below the pulpit. It is needless to say that there was a pro found sensation among tne people. Looks and whispers were exchanged, while the pastor sat for a few moments nonplussed. There was an expression of serious con sternation on his countenance, but he quickly recovered his composure and asked his daughter, Mrs. Carey, to go forward. CALLED ON HIS DATJGHTEB. She and the other members of the new choir ascended to the rostrum. After some confusion they sang the hymn, but without the accompaniment of the organ. During the remainder of the service Miss Pogue played. " Bev. Mr. Goeley preached a fervid ser mon on the serious import of a rejection of Christ "When he had come to the end of the proper discussion of the theme, he de voted some minutes to an appeal for unity in the church. He besought all the mem bers to stand by the church and its work. He said that he had been 34 years in the ministry, and would not exchange his place for the Presidency of the United States. He believed that he could do good work in the church, and as ted for the aid of all. He loved all, he said, and had a heart large enough to take in all, rich and poor, learned and ignorant. He then called upon Brother O'Brien to lead in prayer. The con gregation knelt, but there was no response to the call. Mr. O'Brien was not in the house, and after Rev. Mr. Gogley had waited for half a minute, he himself offered prayer. After the service was concluded the peo ple lingered in the house and about the gate discussing the events of the day. Some said that the trouble had only begun, while oth ers predicted a speedy restoration of peace. THE PRISONER ESCAPED. & Man Arrested on a V. & O. Train Jumps Thronch the Window. Last night the train crew of the Balti more and Ohio accommodation reaching the city at 10-35 placed a man under arrest near Glenwood. Near the copper works, while the train was moving, the prisoner managed to raise the window and jumped oat No trace had been found of him up to 11:30. OUTGOES E CHOIR SPIRITUALISTIC TESTS. Sirs. Nickcmon Claims Mnny Christians nnd Ministers Aro Spiritualists A Day Coming for tho Sect. Last evening a deeply interesting seance took place at the Spiritualists' Hall, No. 6 Sixth street The room was crowded to such an extent that scores of people had to be turned away from the doors. The well known lady medium, Mrs. Nickerson, was the attraction of the evening. Mrs. Nick erson is possessed of a musical voice and a strong, handsome face, which indexes in a remarkable manner her thoughts and emo tions. The seance opened with the usual tests, the great majority of which were quite suc cessful. But it was Mr. Nickerson's address which proved the principal event of the seance. The medium began by tonching briefly on the youth of Spiritualism, and the wonder ful strides it has made in popular favor dur ing the 40 years of its existence. It elevated mankind by its lofty precepts and snblime ideals; and'yet it did not destroy the equi poise of the being who had yet to live his iife ont before he could hope for the radiant heaven of which Spiritualism had given him such promises. It taught men to be contented with their lot, because it made them happy in the knowledge that their relatives and friends, their nearest and dear est ones, are standing by the side and follow ing the fortunes of all those who imagine themselves deserted here upon earth. "All thinking men," continued Mrs. Nickerson, "all men who are really in the forefront of thought and action, are Spirit ualists at heart But, alas, they are moral cowards. "We are all cowards more or less, and they fear to admit their true sentiments. In New England I have met clergymen, doctors, lawyers in scores wno have told me that they believed in my belief, but considered that the time was not yet come for their action in the matter. Here in Pittsburg there are clergymen Methodists, Presbyterians, Baptists by the dozen, who believe implicitly in Spiritualism, and yet fear to cast aside their Old "World Chris tianity and worn out dogmas to follow the true light" At the conclusion of her discourse, Mrs. Nickerson tried two more test cases, one of which proved a very remarkable success. Mrs. Nickerson was then asked for a poem on "Charity," and, sitting down to the piano, she sang with great taste and feeling a ballad on that subject After the singing of the Hoxology, and a solemn benediction pronounced by "Mrs. Nickerson, the proceed ings were concluded. HONOBLNG THE DEAD CHIEF. Quito a Crowd of Pittabnrccrs Will Attend General Hartrnnft's Fnncrni The Eighteenth's Floral Offering.

They had a half barrel of beer and two quarts of whisky. Only three of the crowd were captured, as a lookout apprised them of the coming of the police. "William Lang, John Martin and John "Williams were the unfortunate ones. Lieutenant Clark also made a raid on the house of Mr. and Mrs. Franz Schutz, at G9 Third street A dance was going on about 8 o'clock and a lot of beer had been set out before a number of invited guests. Before the beer had all been consumed some bad boys in the neighborhood stole it "When the police went to the house the inmates were singing and dancing and objected to any interference.

HITHER AND THITHER. Movements of Plttsbnrgcrs and Others of Wide Acquaintance. Yesterday morning and evening Rev. Frederick A Noble, D.D., who 14 years ago was pastor of the Third Presbyterian Church, ocenpied the pulpit of that church. The con gregations at both services were very large, completely filling the large building Before beginning his morning sermon Dr. Noble re ferred feelingly to the past and present of the churcb, referring especially to those who have died since his pastorate ended. His words iu relation to thelato William Thaw were very tonchinc and were thesnbiectof considerable comment. Yesterday was the seventh anni versary of Rev. E. P. Cowan's nastorato of the Third Church, or, as he put it, he has preached just a year of Sabbaths to bis present charge. Robert Shoemaker, V. H. Smith and Edward H. Hance, of Philadelphia, prominent wholesale druggists of the Quaker City, arrived in town last night and are stopping at the An derson. Thev will be met this morning by Georgo A Kelly, W. J. Gilmoro and other prominent wholesale druggists of this city, who are going to attend the annual meeting of the Wholesale Drngcists' Association at Indian apolis. S. B. "Wellington, E. H. Sentenne, H. M. Sutherland, Thomas A Coakley and Robert Alexander, of New York, arrived In the city yesterdav on a pleasure trip and will spend several days in town lookinc at tne sights. John J. O'Reilly, of this city, left last evening for Philadelphia and other Eastern cities on business. He stated that bis trip had no connection with the now deceased brewery deal. Dr.jJohn J. Buchanan, of Penn avenue, Secretary of the Allegheny County Medical Society, left last night for New York. Colonel George "W. ElkinB, President of the Fifth Avenne Traction Company, returned last night from Philadelphia, E. M. Daniels, proprietor of the Allyn House, at Hartford, Conn., is in the city. C. C. Craffand wife, of Crafton, went to New York last night SMOOTHS' ARRESTS The Semi-Annnal Official Report of the First Police District. OFFICEES WHO DID GOOD WOEK. Tho Arrests for This Year stimated at Fifteen Thousand. CHANGES IN THE FOKCE EXPECTED In accordance with the rule adopted a year ago by Inspector McAleese, he has had a semi-annual report compiled of the number of arrests made by the police officers of the various districts in order to show what work has been done by the bureau, both as an organization and as individuals and to give proper ciedit where it is due. The report of the First district is the first completed, as it is the most important In speaking of this, Chiet Brown said that the arrests last year were 11,000, of which fully two-thirds were made below Ninth street He estimated that the arrests for the current year would reach 15,000 and the same ratio, he thought, would be observed. VTHAT PEOJIPTED THE BEPOBT. Inspector McAleese was prompted to se cure this official report through seeing at the morning hearings the same faces day after day, and hearing the same arresting officers make charges, while others whose beats ran through criminal portions of the city never showed up. The result of the re port will be that the officers will probably receive some recognition of their services ranging from honorable mention and pro motion to a chromo. a three days' suspen sion or a perpetual holidav. The Inspector said last evening that although the force was undoubtedly a fine one, still it was not large enough to admit of carrying members for purely ornamental purposes. OFFICEES GIVEN THEIB DDES. The reports lor the three station houses of the Firs't police district are given below, with the number of arrests made by each officer, from April 1 to October 1, appended to his name. The names of the captains, lieutenants, sergeants and special officers are omitted as the great majority of their cases are turned oyer to their officers' credit, and the nature of their occupation prevents them standing on an equal footing with the officers as far as arrests are concerned. Another point to be remembered is that each officer is only credited with such cases as he substantiates before the police magis trate or in court and convictions follow. The following is the list of police graduates in the art of diminishing the criminal popu lation of the city for the past six months: HOW THE LIST LOOKS. Central Station, Second ward Thomas Pais ley, 156; James O'Hara, 75; Frank Yeager.

Brown, 23; Daniel Wilkie, 15: Arthur Lester, 21; John Arnold, 12. Upon the completion of the list Inspector McAleese said there were several matters connected with the work of the officers to which he would like to draw attention. Al though all, as a body, had done well, he saw considerable room for improvement in many particulars. For example, there were beats which had only turned in from 15 to 20 arrests, where, from the complaints made and his own personal observation, as well as that of Chief Brown, 100 violators of the law might have been made to feel the lash of justice or else get out oi the way of doing mischief. TKUBY TAKES THE BISCUIT. In reviewing the work of the men he ac cords the palm to Truby Shaul, and said: "Out of the 265 men comprising the police force there may be as good men, and I have no doubt there are, but none could have done better. He was placed in charge of the Hardscrabble and Yellow Row district when the department declared war npon the dives and dens of ill repnteinthat locality, which were so "numerous and of the lowest type in the city. To-day respectable people can live there, and two-thirds ot the arrests made by the officers are now doing time or have served their sentences, and other undesirable denizens have been chased out. Associated with Shaul in the work, and deserving of credit was Officer Joseph Biker, who runs the adjoining beat HONOBABLY MENTIONED. The following officers he also named as worthy of special mention: George "Wag ner and M. S. Hanley, two small men, but of determination and known staying quali ties. They were given the task ol reform ing the Owl gangdistrict, aboutthe toughest in the city, and where so many had failed. The result of their work is shown in the fact that six of the Owl gang leaders are now serving sentences of 3; 4, 5 and 6 years in the workhouse and penitentiary, while two are now in jail awaiting trial lor highway robbery, and the neighborhood is compara tively quiet to what it was a couple of years ago. Martin Mogan, who had the Point district, is commended for his good work and bravery. It was he who was so severelv stabbed by Barney Gallagher about three weeks ago while taking the prisoner to the patrol box, but who nevertheless landed his man at the Central station. He is still off duty from the effects of his wound. MOKE COMPLIMENTS. Lieutenant Robert Denniston is also highly spoken of, his 121 arrests being prin cipally of suspicious persons, most of whom were strangers in the city, and proven to be known bad characters, the majority of whom are now enjoying the hospitality of the workhouse. His promotion was the re sult of his energetic campaign against these people. "William Maxwell and James Jack are also picked ont for a place among those who have made an excellent record in the avenue beats from Smithfield street to Hard scrabble, and Garrett Crossan, on the Fifth avenne beat, comes in for a generous meed of praise. The other names of men who have dis tinguished themselves in the Inspector's eyes are John McCaffrey, John Roach and John Moran, at Eleventh and Liberty, who, the Inspector says, lets no guilty man es cape and takes chances on a good many who show guilty intentions with very few mis takes. METZ'S WOBK: ON THE OUTSIDE. Adolph Metz, whose services as turnkey to the Central station preclude his making a heavy record, takes the opportunity be tween watches of running in a few crooks every week and secures conviction in almost every case. Sergeant Robert Gray, who as sisted the Inspector in making np the re port, modestly omitted hisown name, hut his services meet recognition from head quarters. The objects Sought by these reports is to act as an incentive to the men to better their work, and as no credit is given except where the case is proved make the service more effectual. It is also calculated to show both the officers and the public when any changes are made, whether promotions, suspensions or dismissals, why such action was taken, and to prevent all grumbling by repoving the cause in the most public manner possi ble. HE COULDN'T STAY AWAY. Tom Carney's Visit Cost Him Hi's Liberty He Hadn't Been In the City Over an Hour When Ho Was Captnred. Tom Carney, late constable for Alderman Porter, was captured last night by Officers Sherry and King. Carney was wanted by the Department of Public Safety, Inspector "Whitehouse having made an information against him when he brought the suit for conspiracy against Alderman Porter last week, but there was an older account for him to meet. Some time ago Carney, Brown and Me Clure were indicted for conspiracy in the Mrs. Lies case. McClure and Brown were tried in the Criminal Court and convicted, but Carney had disappeared and could not be placed on trial. "When Judge "White had McClure and Brown before him he gave them six years and one year respectively. He expressed a deep wish to have Carney brought to trial and Officers King and Sherry, who had worked up the case, felt that they ought to have him. They went to work, and learned finally that he was in Steubenville. It was their intention to go after him when they found that he meant to pay a flying visit to the city yesterday. Carney got into the city at 7 o clock and an hour later the two officers located him at Thirty-seventh street and Penn avenue. They arrested him on a court process and took mm to tne central station, xnis morn ing he will be taken into court The outlook for Carney does not seem to be very cheerful. He is under indictment in the Mrs. Lies case, in which McClure and Brown were convicted; he is under in dictment in the B. F. Stewart case, in which Alderman Porter was held by the grand jury last week; and besides the information lodged by Inspector "Whitehouse is pending against him. ".From his conversation with Officers King and Sherry last night, they are of the opinion that he is ready to talk freely in court it he thinks it will do any thing toward lessening the penalties that may be imposed on him. It is probable that he will not be brought to trial at this time on any of the charges pending, but will be turned over to the Department of Public Safety as a witness to use in the cases against Alderman Porter. Carney is the man who formerly kept a resort in the "Waten street district that caused the police no end of trouble. The place is now being torn down to be replaced with a business block. It was a notorious den and rivaled the Yellow Row for scenes of vice and crime. THE EULE GENERALLY GOOD, Bat It is Thought That It Should Not Alrrnys bo Inforced. Ordinarily rules are necessary for the successful transaction of business, but there are times when some flexibility is necessary in their inforcement. For instance, Mr. T O'Brien tells of a case where a woman of some foreign nationality wanted to get off a Pittsburg and Birmingham street car at the Pittsburg and Lake Erie station, but becoming confused did not alight at the place where the car is stopped. When opposite the old toll-house on the Smithfield street bridge she discovered her mistake and asked to be let off, but the conductor refused to stop the car, quoting the Superintendent's order that stops must only be made on corners. It seemed that the woman did not feel equal to the task of alighting when the car was in motion, and was carried to the crossing clear over the bridge to the corner ot Smith field and "Water streets, where she was told she might alight. By this time her hnrry was over; she decided to be put off at the proper place though she had to make the round trip to the Union station and back to the Pittsburg and Lake Erie station. It is just possible that a strict compliance with this order might some time involve the company in a lawsuit should a passenger be be carried past a station and lose a train. THREE SEW ALTAES. Talk of Bnllding a Catholic Church In the Vicinitr of Oakland. The three new altars in St. Agnes Church atSoho are almost completed. They are beantiful pieces of workmanship, and when finished will be equal, if not superior, to anything of the kind in the two cities. The main altar is made of wood, Gothic style, and in it are three large niches. In the center niche is the scene of the Transfigura tion with the Apostles, etc. The statues have not yet been placed in the other niches. The altars are painted white, with burned copper and gilt The main one is about 25 feet high. The other two altars are finished in white and gold and marbleized iu yellow. They will be completed in about two weeks. The attendance at the parochial schools connected with the church has increased so rapidly under Father Corcoran's manage ment that the pastor found it necessary to engage several more sisters. The school buildings and church are taxed to their limit to accommodate the people. The par ish has grown so large that there is consid erable discussion about building a new church in the vicinity of Oakland. There is no Catholic place of worship between Soho and East Liberty and it will soon be necessary to have a church in Oakland. HASLEI PUZZLED THEM. An Allegheny &penk-Eny Proprietor Van ishes Into Air. Officer Alexander and two other police men yesterday forenoon visited a "speak easy" establishment located in a stable on Turner alley, in the Third ward, Allegheny. The place was kept by Jake Hasley, and has been iu operation on Sundays lor sev eral months. Three men, "William Lang, John Martin and John "Williams, all poorly dressed and possessing little money, were captured, hut Hasley could not be found. The police knew that he had been in the stable a few minutes before they entered, and they were puzzled at his sudden disap pearance. About two months ago police men tried to catch Hasley in the stable, and were certain that they had him entrapped. "When they entered the old building they found a badly frightened woman, but Has ley had vanished, as if into thin air. No persuasions could induce the woman to tell how Hasley had dematerialized himself. LOCAL ITEMS, LIMITED. Incidents of a Day In Two Cities Condensed for Rcndy Beading. TnE Moorhead Union, W. C. T. U., held an interesting meeting last night Mrs. B. Allen, president and a large crowd was in attend ance. Addresses were made by Mrs, B. H. Jones, Mrs. Huutley, Mrs. A. M. Hammet and W. T. Powell. Columbia Enoine Company, of Allegheny, has completed a now floor for the house, the entire work being done by tho men themselves The old floor was pnt down 14 years ago. The new one is composed of two and a half inch white pine. A man named Sullivan attempted to jump off one of tbe Penn avenue cablo cars at the corner of Fourteenth street yesterday afternoon. Mr. Sullivan's nose was broken bjr coming in vio lent contacHyitu the ground.. Eomh boys set fire to a lot of rubbish on Twenty-fourth street yesterday. No. 7 Engine Company was called out to prevent the flames spreading to a frame structure-close by. No. 7 Enoine Company, on Penn avenue was called out to answer a still alarm yeiterday at the foot of Twentieth street IURDEK0US ATTACK. Wendell Doranberger Beaten and Cat With a Knife by Two Men. HIS CONDITION QUITE SEBI0US. The Object of the Footpads is Supposed to Have Been Eobbery. WORK FOB THE SOUTHSIDE OFFICEES About 6 o'clock yesterday morning a Southside man was attacked by two men and almost murdered within 0 feet of his own door. At that time "Wendell Doran berger, a glass sorter at the -factory of Thomas Evans & Co., was set upon, beaten over the head with a coupling link, cut and slashed in several places about the head and body and left lying in an unconscious condition on the sidewalk, three doors from his own home, on Manor street, between South Tenth andEleventh streets. The cir cumstances of the assault as detailed by the injured man would make it appear as though the motive was robbery or that the men had mistaken their victim for another man. Mr. Doranberger had been at the glass factory, where he is employed, attending to some duties, and then started down Manor street on his way home. "When he reached the corner of South Twelfth street two men, one large, the other quite small, came toward him from the direction of Nusser's brewery. They appeared to be perfectly sober, and walked down Manor street at the side of their victim until they came to South Eleventh street, near where Doranberger lives. "When they had proceeded to that point, not a word having been exchanged on tho way. the smallest of the men stepped close up to Doranberger and said: "You are the. man who was going to do us up on Twelfth street last night, ain't you?" "No, sir, I am not," was the answer. AN UNEXPECTED BLOW. He had scarcely finished speaking when the man stooped down and, picking up a link used for coupling cars, struck him a a terrific blow over the head. The assault was too quickly made to be warded off, but as he staggered to one side from the effect Doranberger, who is a large, powerfully built man, clutched the larger man to pre vent him from assisting the other. "When he grappled with his companion the man who had started -the affair lunged at the vic tim with a knife, cutting a terrible gash over his leftytemple. In spite of the stab, Doranberger threw the big man to the ground but was prevented from inflicting any punishment upon him by the smaller man, who danced about like a fiend. He kept his knife in nlav all the while, and so effectively that in the very lew minutes the wounded man was able to make a struggle for his life, he re ceived no less than six stabs and slashes about the back, left side and arm. The most serious ones are the cuts made on the side of the heart and a deep cut just below the left shoulder-blade. Doranberger says the strug gle was of only momentary duration, when he became unconscious. After he recovered from the insensibility he crawled to the door of his home and awakened his wife and brother-in-law. His clothing was cut and torn and covered with blood. HIS CONDITION SEEIOTJS. Dr. Donovan was called in to dress the wounds and said that the Injured man's con dition was serious. His skull was thought to be slightly fractured, but an examination later in the day showed that to be a mistake. The many cuts and the deep stab in the back, however, together with the almost complete prostration consequent on the great loss of blood and the danger of erysipelas setting in, makes the victim's condition serious. The medical attendant considers his chances for recovery fairly good. No motive for the murderous assault can be conjectured, unless it were for the pur pose ot robbery. Doranberger is a well known man, sober and industrious, and has been employed at Evans & Co.'s factory for almost 20 years. Recently he has handled considerable funds in his duties connected with the manage ment of an estate and his assailants may have supposed that they would make a haul by robbing him. He does not know whether they rifled his pockets or nof, but they were disappointed it they did, for he had only some small change, his money having been deposited at home on Saturday evening. One of the men had his hat knocked off in the struggle, and as it was left lying beside their nnconscidus victim, they had evidently been frightened from the place. The hat was given to the police as the only clew, although Doranberger is able to describe his assailants, and says he will be able to identify them. A GAT WEDDING. A Sontbtldo Officer Had to Call Down the Guests at a Marriage. The Southside speak-easieskept the police busy yesterday afternoon and evening, 11 cases of drunkenness coming from one lo cality in Limerick. In Sligo a Polish wed ding was being celebrated by a dance when Officer Johnson came down upon the house and ordered the dance to stop. The gaily bedecked bride and the happy groom, in company with the house full of guests in various stages oi exhilaration, protested against the policeman's interference with their festivities, but obeyed, nevertheless, Neely Burns, an old-timer, was brought ihto the Twenty-eighth ward station about 9 o'clock drunk and badly cut and bruised about the head and face, the result of a row on the niasiae above South .Eighth street. At the Sunday morning hearing at the Twenty-eighth ward station, Magistrate Brokaw disposed of ten common esses. Thomas Biscuss, Joseph Kotski, Jacob Brunnier and Charles Eicc were arrested at a house in Limerick that bears the reputa tion of being troublesome according to Offi cer Smith. Each paid 58 40 into the public treasury. Bichard James, Thomas Collins and Michael Farrass paid the same amount. William Aimer and Michael Collins will reside at Claremont for 30 days, and Sarah Smith will board with Warden Berlin for ten days. A PfiOSPERING CHURCH. Uov. Mr. McClelland Drawing Crowds to the Seventh Presbytorlnn. The services at the Seventh Presbyterian Church, on Herron avenue, are attracting considerable attention under the ministra tion of Bev. C. S. McClelland, tbe new pastor. Mr. McClelland has been in charge since October 1, and since that time the at tendance has so increased that it is almost impossible to find seats for all who come. If the present increase in the size of the con gregation continues it is in contemplation to increase the seatingcapacity of the building. GERMAN DEMONSTRATION. Fifty Societies Will be In tho Parade on Thanksgiving Day. The parade of the German societies, to celebrate the opening of the Allegheny Turner Hall, on Thanksgiving Day, prom ises to be a grand affair. The indications are that there will be more men in line than at any previous demonstration of the Ger man element of the connty. Fifty societies have notified Chief Marsb'al Neeb that they will parade. Representatives of the socie ties meet to-night at 201 Ohio street, Alle gheny, to elect the division commanders. Kilted by the Limited. John Doldstrom, a German, pmployed by Captain Shallenburg, ofBraddock', while riding by Camp Copeland yesterday morn iDg was struck by the limited express on the Pennsylvania Railroad. The horse and man were thrown over 30 instantly killed. feet and both TflE-STEIEE-Hi-PEOGRESS n,t. . V. . n.t .' fa '". ' xoo usoiaers tvania jwibbt ivvotb; 'Abu - Walk, bat Remain Firm. In pursuance of the action decided uponj at a meeting of tne men in Imperial Hall on Saturday night particulars of which were fully reported in yesterday's Dispatch the molders of this city, with the exception of the Carnegie men, and pos sibly tnose employed by A. Speer & Sons, will remain on strike. Up to late on Satur- "day night the latter firm had not signed the scaie, tnougn.asaireaaystatea, tneyhaa ver bally agreed to it, but- yesterday it was re ported that tbey had intimated to their men that they might turn in this morning, as they were prepared to formally concede the increase. As stated yesterday, there is very little probability of the molders long remain ing on the outside, as business is so pushing with the founders jnst as present that they will likely at once make the required con cessions rather than see their business suffer, il ackintosh, Hemphill & Co. haye a big 20 ton casting in hands, the molding work on which is about half done, and other firms have hurried orders which can ill afford to wait The feeling among the strikers is that they would rather be at work than walking around, but they say they can wait the conveniences of their employers. A good many men called at the E. of L. head quarters on Fifth avenue yesterday to as certain if anything had been heard from the employers, but nothing had been heard. TflEEE WILL BE A BIG TUEN OUT. The UnvolIIne of the Armstrong Monument Will be a Big Affair. The dedication of the Thomas A. Arm strong monument on Thanksgiving Day will mark an epoch in the history of or ganized labor in "Western Pennsylvania. It is expected that some 25,000 men will take part in the proceedings. The Passenger Agents' Association is considering the question of issuing excursion rates, and also of extendrng their periodso as to accomo date delegates coming from a distance. Many of the iron and steel mills will close down to allow their men to attend. At Scottdale the request of the men that the mill would shut down on the day was acceded to. The printers' demonstration will be a large one and delegations lrom the printers' unions from Steubenville, "Wheel ing, Toungstown and other points are ex pected to be in line. The turn-out of the coal and coke miners will be a large one; no class of men held Thomas Armstrong in greater esteem. It was said that the paint ers would not take any part in the demon stration, but this was incorrect. They will be present in full force. The monument is nearly completed and about to be placed in position. The orator of the occasion will be Miles Humphreys, than whom probably no one could so well fulfill the task of reviewing the life and works of the great labor organizer. A SETTLEMENT EXPECTED. Carnegie's Men Will Consult With tbe Firm About Time of Payment. The trouble between the employes of Car negie,' Phipp3 & Co. and the firm, which is a result of the new pay system that has been adopted in the lower and upper Union mills, is on a fair way to be settled amica bly. The company pointed out to tbe men that by paying the first Saturday following the 15th and 28th it will enable them to keep their books straight with much less in convenience than hitherto. The firm say that they have the State law on their side, which allows them to pay their employes twice a month. A consultation will be held to-day in the Carnegie Thirty-third street office between the representatives of the company and the men to adjust the diffi culty. KEW FLINT HOUSE POT. Several Pltubnrg Factories Hnvo Decided on Oilng It Mr. Asa G. Neville, of Lazearville, W. "Va., the inventor of the flint glass melting pbt, was in town yesterday. His pots are now in operation in factories in Martin's Ferry, Wheeling, Lazearville, Canton, Steubenville and Philipsbnrg, and he has contracts for 21 additional houses. He will return here in two weeks' time to place his pots in operation in the Peerless Lead Glass Works on the' Southside and Thomes Evans & Co.'s factory, and later on in the houses of the O'Hara and George Duncan & Sons. THE SPEECH PAKED. Snpu rilcnlrn Bays President Robert Didn't Talk as Reported. In face of the strong desire of the gentle men connected with the dinner given to the FennsylvaniaBailroad officials at the Pitts burg Club on last Friday, that no undue publicity should be given to the affair, as the entertainment was of a purely private and informal nature, as already reported in The Dispatch. considerable surprise was expressed in many quarters yesterday at the publica tion in a cotemporary of what purported to be a speech delivered by President Boberts during the dinner. The opinions on some of the matters with which Mr. Boberts is credited with dealing are so much at variance with the previous utterances and well known ways of thinking of that gentle man, that it was more than hinted yester day that tbe Teport must have emanated from the imaginative brain and feriile re source of its author, who, perhaps, though not necessarily, had overheard some or other of tbe guests in casual allusion to what President Boberts did say. That the reported speech deserved to be classed under the category of "fakes" was amply proved yesterday, when Mr. Bobert Pitcairn was seen for an expression of his opinion on its authenticity. This gentleman said that, while the report contained one or two things that would be touched upon by snch a nan on such an occasion, that' in the main, as far as his recollection served him, Mr. Boberts had not made any allusions to pools or syndicates or the extensive com ments on railroad development with which he was credited. TOOK TO THE TEAIL, Another Yonag Lad Who Thought He Was a Second Buffalo BUI. Lawrence Knorr, a 13-year-old hoy who has been living with his guardian, a well known East End clergyman, was arrested in Columbus, O., yisterday while on his way West to right Indians and seenre glory at the point of the scalping knife. He has been a diligent stndent of wild West litera ture for a long time, and his friends learned that he was going to take to the Panhandle trail. He assumed the lurid name of Dick Over, and boarded the 9 o'clock train Satur day mgnt ior tne west, a telegram to tne Superintendent of Police at Columbus headed him off before he had time to make the acquaintance of any Indians or bufialos. THE SINGLE TAX IDEA. Both Dr. McGIynn nnd Henry George Will Iiectare Here This Winter. Mr. C. F. Knight delivered an address before the Pittsburg Single Tax League on "The Single Tax." Mr. Knight explained the evils of our present industrial and social system, and how the reform he advocated would act as a remedy. Dr. McGIynn will lecture under the auspices of this soci ety on tbe 21st of January in Lafayette Hall, subject: "How to Abolish Poverty." The society also expects to have Mr. Henry George stop over on his way to Australia, and deliver an address in some publio hall. Hallowe'en on Wednesday. Wednesday evening will be Hallowe'en, when the small boy, will be np to all sorts of high jinks, That occasion Ms a memorable one in Scotland, and the Scotch people in this city will celebrate it, bnt only by pri vate parties. No club or society events will oeeur on aeeount of the anniversary. !.l J THEY HEED $150,000. President Mania Asks Those Whs Probed by the Exposition to Pony Up Doqnesne .Parks Assured. . "Mr. S. S. Marvin was seen last evening at hisjesidence on Amberson avenue, In -connection with the reported Exposition im provement plans. He said: 'There is not the smallest doubt but that improvements will be made in the Exposition buildings, but their precise nature is as' yet unde termined. Mr. Johnston is gone to Europe to collect hints for this purpose. With re gard to the proposed park, from the build ings to the Sixth street bridge, some people seem to think it a mere visionary project, but it is not anything of the kind. There will certainly be a park, probably by next year, and the city authorities will be the men who will put it there. "There is one other point I should like to mention. We want $150,000 to par the con tractors. I think that all those gentlemen who have made so much by the Exposition the hotel keepers, restaurant keepers and street car companies ought to come for ward and helpusont Certainly some of them can afiord it Why, the car companies alone have made a fortune through the Ex position. Tne very fact of the1, wonderful improvement in the locality, occasioned by the Exposition buildings, ought,' fo make every citizen ready to spend money in help ing us." MAJOR HOMES TAKEN TO TA8K. Mr. Patterson Denies Bis Remarks About ibe Allegheny Hospital. J. C. Patterson, Manager of the Alle gheny General Hospital, said last evening that the statements attributed to Major Hunker, of the Allegheny Poor Board, are either misquoted or untrue. There have not been 70 illegitimate births in the hospital since its opening four years ago. Mr. Pat terson continued: "Major Hunker is re ported to have said no record is kept of the births in the hospital. The easiest refuta tion of the charge is an extract from the re ports'to the State Board of Health and the Board of Public Charities, showing 115 births to have occurred since the establish ment of the hospital. Of these some 48, or about one-third, were illegitimate. "Another thing in this connection is that, unless in extreme cases, we do not receive any patients of that description unless vouched for by someone we know. Of course when they are able to leave the hospital it is not our business to follow them, and it is not done, but if llajor Hunker wishes to place the responsibility for aban doning children upon patients of the Alle gheny General Hospital he is very much, mistaken. Out of the 115 cases I have mentioned there has been only one in which the infant has been abandoned. I wish to set tbe hospital management right in this matter before the public." WOULD B0T BE LICKED. John Hall Helps Himself Ont With s Handy Cobblestone. Patrick Fitzgerald and John Hall, em ployed by T. B. Moreland, the East End liveryman, quarreled at the stable yesterday morning about the nse of a broom. One word brought on another and they came to blows. After a desperate struggle, in which Hall was getting the worst of the fight, he managed to get hold of a cobblestone and L struck Fitzgerald on the side of the head, knocking him down and. cutting an ugly wound. He was taken to a doctor's office near by, where his head was dressed, and he was then sent to his home on Center avenue, near Hfland avenue. While this was being done Hall skipped out Information was made before Magistrate Hyndman, charging him with aggravated assault and battery. A warrant was issued, bnt the police have not arrested him yet. Anniversary Gifts. Tea sets, Tete-a-tete sets, Water sets, Tilting pitchers.
