The Wanderer Declares in Favor of Amer ican Institutions. AND B05KI FINISHED THE ADDRESS There were probably no four walls in the city of Pittsburg which contained a more jub ilant gathering than those of the Tariff Club building last night The return of C. L. Magee from his European trip, followed by the announcement in yesterday's Dispatch that an informal reception would be given Mm in-the loung Men's Republican Tariff Club inv the evening, caused a general cathering of the members and Eepublicaus generally to do honor to Mr. Magee as a member, not alone of the club, butxof the party. The Tale lock of the club house door groaned in its vitals, as the keys, seldom used, penetrated its depart ment of the interior, while the current of ihousutsin the electric bell must have been much stronger than that of electricity which announced the advent of a non-member of theilnb. , "Where is Chris?" was the question asked everv few minutes up to 10 r. M., and many of tie visitois left to catch their trains for Tarentum, McKeesport, Monongahela City, Elizabeth aDd other seaports, recretting the fact that on the date of Mr. Magee's return he was in such unusual demand that but few minutes could be accorded to those who wanted -to greet him and those at long in tervals. The house was crowded, any attempt to take-a-list of those present at one timeor an other during the evening being simply a copy of the names the best-known Repub licans of Allegheny county. A GOOD CEOWD PKESEST. Gnry.-one lamiliar face was missing, that of "William Flinn, which failed to show the ruddv radiance of its expression over the rosy proceedincs. Amone those who waited until tie comiuE of Mr. JIacee, which did not happen till 1020 P. M.. were: Warden Wright, H. I. Gonrlev, W. K. Ford, Kobert Lindsey, H. P. Ford, candidate lor the citv postuiastership; S. P. Conner, R. S. P. Mc Cail, Georce P. Letche, Philip Flina. Samuel "Clark, James A. Dan lap. City Attorney W. C Moreland. John Neeb, V. H. McCIeery, Warden Berlin, George W. Miller, John Doyle. E. .Randolph, Coroner McDowell, A. G. Robertson. James W oodwell, James Richards. Judge Gnpp, R. W. Black. Gamble Wier. William KcKlnley, Samcel Graham, Thomas M. McFarland, Arch Row and. H. Grant Miller, Thomas AlcClure and others. . On the opening of the Coor and arrival of Mr.-Magee- the hall was immediately crowded. Tne billiard room was deserted, and the reading room, having several yards the stargot firet to see tUe wanderer re turned. J'Wdcome home!" "Yes, and I'm glad to be home." This was the greeting and response for fully ten minutes until Mr. Magee arrived at the club parlor, where in the adjoining room hricrayon portrait looked down, and even the etching of Senator Evarts on the walllnrned its face more to the tront to give a grim smile in acknowledgment of the joy ot the occasion. HIS PLEASANT EEPAETEE. For some ten minutes social chat was in dulged in, and one remark made showing that C. L. Magee is still sharp on repartee occasioned a hearty laugh. President T. M5-McFarland. of the Tariff Club, said: Tam sorry you were delayed, for there were 101 people waiting to see you, who have been-disappointed " "Well, I'm sorry for that," replied the guest, "but you see there's luck in oda numbers, and I'd rather have 101 see me than 102, as they did at Harrisburg." president McFarland announced a few minutes afterward that the club members should adjourn to the assembly rooms, where there would be more room for all to see the guest of the evening and have an op portunity of hearing him speak. The ad journment was made, and Mr. McFarland, in opening the proceedings, said: Gentleirien of the Tariff Club and Mends: This is simplv an informal meeting, and I don't suppose tht anybody has had a chance to prepare set speeches. I know vour chair man has not, and I suppose nobody else has. "We are here to extend a greeting to Mr. Magee, as hearty as it is impromptu, to compliment him" upon his appearance after his long journey, and to accord him a hearty welcome on his return to us." , Loud applause followed this short speech, which was increased to a perfect storm as Mr. Magee entered and took his seat. Ris ing, be eaid: A BETXEE AMEEICAK THAX EVEB. "Gentlemen of the Tariff Club, to say that I am gratified by the welcome I have re ceived here to-nijrht would but very poorly express my feelinss. I have only to sar that after my fonr months' sojourn in and exploration of other countries, I have come back to my own more firmly attached to its institutions, and in fact a better American. Applause. 'I thank you for the cordial reception I have met, and might tell you something about my travels, but Yon Bonn borst has all my notes of travel, and he may probablv give a lecture on the subject some dav. He will"sav something." Mr. George M. Von Bonnhorst said he never made a speech in his life, and said he would sot do so now, which was applauded. He said it was no Joke to come off an ocean voyage and then be tackled by a clnb of friends just -s a Xew Yorkxeporter would start to inter view Mrs."Iiangtrv, and ask him what he thought oflhis country. He sat down amid a hearty approval of his sentiments, and said in a stage-whisper that he had certainly achieved appoint asjar as brevity was con cerned. H. I. Gdurley was called on and said: ''I have-come here, as all the others have, to extend a-welcome home to a gentleman long missed. No member of the commu nity, not to speak of members of this club, but is glad be has returned, whose char acteristics endear him to his fellow citizens. He has traveled over the historic continent. He has seen Brussels, a field near to which is immortalized by the memory of a man whose star sat on that horizon; he has seen Scotland, made famous by the prowess of Bruce and the poetry of Burns. He has eeen Italy, where history almost begins with the name of Julius Caesar. But thanks to the spirit fostered in our midst, he comes back regarding the United States as the greatest country upon which the sun shines, and a truer, better, nobler citizen of this great country, if possible, than he was when going." PBEPAEHTO A LECTTJBE. A. C. Robertson was the next speaker and thought it unfair to make him say anvthing about his trip, as he was preparing a lecture upon his trip which would have been a hit in the lecture field, had he not been forestalled V'Here and There." As to saying anything about the quality of the welcome accorded Mr. Macee, the sentiments of the club and the people had been expressed for over 12 lours w the effect that he was -welcome and more then welcome. He was missed and bis own expression that he was a better American returning than he was going might be taken as an index of the man. Mr. Gourley bad mentioned Burns; one of his poems ad mirably expressed the difference between an American citisen And the European style of aristocratic architecture jn his "A man's a man for a that." Mr. Robertson gave some personal reminiscences of the place where he was born, and had seen only three people there that he knew, one of whom was the master to whom he was bound and ran away from, and the other the first man he went to work for. One of these, who was at one time a wealthy man and Lord Provost of Glasgow, had now the grass growing over the roofs ot his works, and told Mr. Robertson that Belgium bottle blowers had sent in their work cheaper than Scotch glass men could work and this was the cause of the failure of his place. "This," he said, "shows the neces sity of such organizations as exist hereto night. They are organizing them now in England under the name of Fair Trade Clubs in opposition to Free Trade Clubs. The old country is tired of seeing women hitched in with a dog to haul milk wagons and taking a mule's place in pulling canal boats." Prof. W. R. Ford I didn't come in here to soar into any flights of eloquence. I came simply seeking a personal gratifica tion in grasping the hand of a personal friend. I have not the slightest doubt that wc are all delighted to meet him but that he could be a better American I doubt At the close of the meeting Mr. Magee made another pleasant little address, saying that he regretted only one thing missing the old term "How are yon, Chris?" He had been called "Mr. Magee" all night RUTAN IN IT TO WIN. The Senator Declare His Cnndidncy for Re. election Positive That Senator Quay Will Support Him. Senator J". S. Rutan and his wife arrived home yesterday morning from a somewhat protracted tour in Europe. Both are en joying excellent health. The Senatoi said that he felt better than he had at any time since the war. He looks sturdy and well. Duriug the afternoon and evening he was visited at his home on Sheffield avenue, in Allegheny, by many friends, not a few of whom are prominently identified with poli tics in the Forty-second Senatorial District. Senator Rutan was visited last evening by a reporter for The Dispatch. He said tnat he did not desire to discuss the politi cal situation until after the election ot No vember 5. He had not been at home long enough to speak upon the Gubernatorial or other contests of next year. About himself he had this to say: "I am a candidate for re-election to the State Seuate. and am going to win. I have not the slightest doubt of it Two United States Senators are to be elected by the next Legislature, and I still have some in terest in politics. Some of Mr. Speer's friends have circulated the story that I was to receive a Federal office, and thus be re moved from the contest While it may be true that I could have such a position, and one which wonld pay better than the Sena te rship, yet I preier the latter, which is a more active and interesting office." "What are the relations between your self and Senator Quay?" the reporter asked. The Senator replied: "Mr. Quay will be for me. as a matter of course. I have not seen him since I came home, nor have I heard from him recently, but I know that he is for me without seeing him. I have been his friend for 30 years. I have always supported him. I carried this dis trict for him for the Senate in 1886. The fact that I carried the Allegheny district, where opposition to him was expected, really settled his Senatorial fight" Senator Rutan spoke kindly of the other candidates for the State Senate in his dis trict, Messrs. Ueeb, Speer and Harbison. The latter had formerly been a warm sup porter of Mr. Rutan, but two of his brothers had been defeated by the Senator for various offices. Mr. Rutan. said further: "Mr. Magee is a good friend of mine. We were together on our journey home. I never let political affairs interfere with my friend ships, however." THE DIG DEAL C01.F1RMED. Legal Steps Taken by the Fourth Pool Plate Glass Syndicate. The projectors of the immense manufac turing center to be constructed on the re cently acquired property skirting lock No. 4 have completed legal steps in the matter of applying for two charters. One is for a Land Improvement Company, with a capi tal stock of $100,000, with privilege of in crease to 5250,000. The other charter is for the Charleroi "Plate Glass Company, with a capital stock of $250,000, with the privilege of quadru pling. The names of the directors pub lished in the application are William G. Bullitt, Philadelphia; G. TV. Moore and A. M. Sloan, Greensbnrg, Pa , and W. D. Hartupee and A. F. Chandler, of Pitts burg. W. D. Hartupee is engineer of the two companies. He was seen last evening at his home in Allegheny and stated that the operations of the companies would probably be deferred until next spring, unless the weather this winter proves exceptionally propitious. AK ITALIAN BRUTE. Under Arrest for Assaulting a Child Only Three Yean Old. About 7 o'clock last night an Italian named Savaria Carmonia was arrested and placed in the Central station by Detective Demmel, on a charge of assaulting a girl between 3 and 4 years old. The girl is a daughter of Joseph Domhiff, who resides in a court off "Virgin alley, near Smithfield street The circumstances as re lated by the child and its parents, are about as follows: Carmonia, wbo is 29 years old, U a boarder in the Domhiff household. Last evening the littlegirl begged him lor a penny, and he promised her one if she went to his room. This the little one did, and when inside Carmonia committed the assault upon her. Drs. Langfitt and Jacob were called in, and they found that the child had been seriously, though not dangerously hurt DEAK AND FOUGHT. Tito Men nnd Tito Women Taken From a Room on JJntler Street. George and Mary Casey and Albert and Mary Price were taken from a room on But ler, near Thirty-sixth street, last night, and lodged in the Seventeenth ward station, on charee of drunkenness. They were also charged before Alderman Porter with run ning a disorderly honse. The neighbors had complained of the boisterous conduct of the quartet The officers entered the house just in time to stop a drunken fight. Casey had drawn a knile and cut Price on the arm. The wound bled profusely and was dressed at the station. X0 TKUTfl IN THE REPORT. The B. fc O. Does Not Contemplate a Branch Road to Jennnette. It was stated yesterday that there was not the least foundation for the report that the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad would con struct a branch line to Jeannette, Mr. Mcllvaine, of Superintendent Pat ton's office, said that the company had their hands quite full enough as it was without contemplating new .projects, and that if there was any truth in the report that he would probably have heard of it Will Start December 1. Mr. J. C. Reilly states that by December 1 the Second Avenue Street Railway Com pany will have its line in full operation and well equipped to give the best satisfaction attainable in the present state of electrical knowledge and application. The system used will be the Thomson-Houston. Mr. Reilly talked as though there would be no postponement on account of weather nor for any other cause now in sight Db. B. M. HankA.

A Sage Little Remark of Senator Quay's Anent Wm. Flinn. CEOMK'S PEQSECUTOB SKETCHED J. W. McCleary, of the Southside, one of the oldest members on that side of the river, who has attended six sessions of the State Council of the Jr. O. U. A. M., and who was grand marshal of the "Washington Birth day parade two years ago, was seen last night He was asked for his views as to the reasons assigned by the National Coun cil of the order or asking for the change of name, the results a change would entail and the effect that a defeat of the present measure will have on the future actions of the Na tional Council. In substance, he said: "My candid opinion is that the change of name is wanted for the benefit of a few Eastern people, and not because the present name is not good enough, or that the order has not prospered under it. The truth of this matter is that tlie National Council does not want the subordinate councils to gain any power, nnd if the people in thp last can bring about the change they will draw the lines still a little closer than they are now. Several of the councils now have charters from the courts. The National Council doesn't like that, and has tried to prevent it "The great general objection to the change is the cost it would necessitate. There is not a council in the order that would pull through the change with less thanfSO ex pense, and there are some councils that would be nearly 51,000 worse off by the change. Rituals, books, badges, seals, con stitutions and general laws, charters and everything bearing the present name would have to be changed to conform with the name. Councils that had court or State charters, that owned property or held bonds and mortgages, and many of them do, would need to go through certain legal proceedings to set themselves right Nearly all of the work that would need to be done would go to a few men in Philadelphia. Ont of the J90.000 or 5100,000 that it would cost to change the name, 90 per cent of the amount ttould go into a few hands. It is not hard to see who will be benefited by the change. "It is argued that the present name is a misnomer and a hindrance to the furthering of the order in the West People think we are a labor organization. There was a time when the order was unknown in Pennsylva nia. In 1865 there were but nine councils. To-day there are nearly 400, with an agcresrate membership of more than 50,000. "What organizers have done in Pennsylvania can be done in the West. And if the National Council would send organizers to the "West and South, as they ought to do, it would not take them very long to let the people know what the Mechanics are. A little more work among the people and not quite so much talk in the councils, where none but members of the order can hear, would be a benefit to the order. "A change of name will not add to the interest in the order. And the name "American Legion," as proposed, is even worse than the present one, so far as imply ing the objects of the order is concerened. The National Council is anxious for the change, and if defeated this time, which they surely will be, will no doubt make an other effort in a few years." LOU DENNISTON'S QUAIL A Bird of Little Vocal AbllltT, but Great Do mestic Affection. Lou Denniston, chief clerk of the Water Bureau, comes to the front with' a good bird story. It is no bird of paradise tale, or one of a talented canary which whipped an En glish sparrow for singing "God Save the Queen," and then chanted "Hail Columbia" over his prostrate body. It is a plain'story of a brace of plain birds, but full of pathos and conjugal love. "Oil returning from churchlast Sunday," said he, "a member of my family told me a strange bird had flown in through my bed room window, and no one knew what it was. I went up stairs and at once saw that it was a quail. I captured it and put it in a little box with willow sides where, had it eaten all the cake and stuff offered to it there would be no necessity to stuff it for roasting. I told a friend whom I met an hour or so later of my acquisition, and men tioning that it was a cock quail he said: Haven't you cot the mate yet? If not, she will be around looking for him before very long.' "Sure enough, on my return to the house there was the poor little thing, with droop ing wings and plaintive cries, outside the window peeking to get in, while the un fortunate captive was beating his breast against the imprisoning rods to get out and join his faithful little spouse. Of course I liberated my prisoner, and it was only the lack of vocal training that prevented a duet of grateful praise from the little wanderers, who, for that matter, may have both been shot before this and served on toast to some epicure. HATTS SAGE REMARK. Personnl Senator Quay Pay William Flinn a Compliment In a Qaiet Way. As Senator Quay and Hon. William Flinn have both been more or less talked of recently, a rather funny interview with the Senator, in which both are interested, is called to mind. It was just at the height of the Johnstown flood excitement A Dis patch reporter saw Senator Quay crossing the Union station plat orm with Samuel Moody, and followed both up to the latter's office. The Senator said he had just returned from a visit to his brother, who had been been suffering for some time from a painful accident He then proceeded as in his old time habit to interview the reporter, and asked how things looked at Johnstown, as he had been unable to visit the scene of the disaster. He was informed and inquired what practical measures were being taken to clear away the debris. When informed that William Flinn was on the scene with some 3,000 men and competent foremen in charge of the working gangs, he said: "Billy Flinn there with 3,000 men and his foremen. Wouldn't this.be a boss time to hold nrimaries in Pittsburg?" This was said with an unction that made it no less an aspiration than a good joke. MORROW ON MISSIONS. The Controller Tblnka the Averago Chria tlan la Not Liberal Enough. Controller Morrow is a firm believer in a protective tariff for Christianity, and says the average Christian does not contribute in proportion to his means to its support. "It is a positive fact," he said, "that I be lieve the man wbo pays in his tithes as en joined and without any sordid motive such as display or cain from a monetary point of view, will prosper as is promised. Unfor tunately though, but very few do it. If the Christian portion of the community could be induced to contribute in proportion to its wealth our home and foreign missions would not suffer as they'do. More liberality should be cultivated." SOMETHING ABOUT GLASS. How Tanks Compare With Fota aa Ee gnrda Prodnct In Europe. H. L. Dickson, who has been-making an extensive study of glass furnaces while in Europe, says that tanks were in successful operation wherever in use, and that glass was produced from them equal to any made from the pots. He saya that European, manufacturers ad- PITTSBUEG 'DISPATCH, mit that when, tanks come into general use in this country that, as far as the United States is concerned, their occupation, like Othello', will be gone. Eighty per cent of the glass made from the tanks is of A No. 1 quality. Of all the European tank fur naces, only one is used in England, nt St Helens, Lancashire, the rest being in Bel gium. Sixty-six per cent of the glass used in England is imported from Belgium. Tanks can be made of any size, and small firms can use them equally well with the larger. A TRIBUTE TO L0NGENECKER. (A Chicago Attorney Gives a Flattering Estimate of the Cronln Prosecutor. Mr. J. A."Gerry, a Chicago attorney who was at one of the hotels yesterday, was speaking about the Cronin case, and had this to say of Judge J. M. Longenecker, the State's Attorney of Cook county: "I have read the full text of his address to the jury. It is a masterly statement. A synopsis givfs no idea of its unity or strength. I have known Judge Long enecker for several years. He is from Southern Illinois, and like many of the men from that region called Egypt he is swarthy of face, and has hair as black and straight as that of an Indian. He is a short, stocky man, with broad shoulders, a heavy head luxuriant with hair, and a face denoting great energy and persistence. He is a very hard worker, and will dig and pound the truth ont ol the Cronin conspiracy if any man can. He was assistant to Julius 8. Grinnell, who convicted the anarchists, and possesses the earnest, unyielding energy ot his predecessor. While he is not a man of flowery speech, he is a ready talker.a shrewd argner and often impassioned and fiery in his utterance. The people of Chicago have great confidence in his ability and stern in tegrity. AN INDIGNANT CANADIAN. He ProtestsAgalnst a Constructive Slight to HI" Native Land. James L. Willis, representative of a Montreal commercial house, on his way to Chicago, last night, said: "All the geo graphical information you people haven't got would make an encyclopedia. You will receive a so-called Pan-American delega tion here shortly with Canada left out, which has more square miles of territory than the United States, bar Alaska. If we are not on this Continent where the dickens are we? And I'll just tell you this, that there is a very large and influential party in Canada just now, which has hitherto favored annexntion, but now consider itself so badly slightly that it will be years be fore the feeling of indignation subsides. I ifould go to Chicago by balloon myself if I could, rather than expend a penny on an American railroad after such treatment Canada is as mdependant to-dav as several of the balf-breed Spanish colonies repre sented in the Pan-American delegation. THE EIGHT HOUR QUESTION. What Views T. T. Powderly Uolda on Thla Momentous Matter. On a recent visit to Pittsburg General Master Workman T. V. Powderly gave ex pression to his views on the eight-hour question. "The American Federation of Labor," Mr. Powderly declares, "have their views on this question and we have ours. The object of the con ference with the representatives of the A. F. of L. is to leam just what they want We are willing to discuss the question.but we shall not recommend a strike. Possibly I should not attempt to speak for the Knights of Labor, but I know this is the feeling. We will bring the question before the assembly in a way agreed upon in the coming conference, but it will not lead to a strike on May 1 or any other time. The Federation itself declares that a general strike is not contemplated. EITHER AND THITHER. ' - movements of FIttabargers and Othera of Wide Acquaintance. Albert C. Frew, a New Yorker, now resident In Buenos Ayres, in the Argentine Republic, was at the Seventh Avenne Hotel yesterday. He says that great progress in the adoption of modern appliances is making in his adopted country, which he holds to be the best land that the sun shines on. The Edison electric lipbt has recently been introduced in several cities, and there are telephones and electric motors. Mr. Frew is a warm advocate ot close commercial relations between the United States and South America, and believes that great good will come of the American In ternational Congress. C. L. Magee has taken up his residence at the Duquesne pending the completion of his new honse on Forbes avenne. He will be joined in a few days by Mrs. Macee, who went on yesterday morning to Massillon to visit her mother, Mrs. Gillespie, and her sister, Mrs. ur. Pease. T. I.

Eastern and Western Green Glass Workers' Districts Now One. CARING FOR DELEGATES TO ATLANTA The Phoenix Roll Works, at Forty-first street and the Allegheny Valley Railroad, have just turned out a pair of the largest rolls ever manufactured. They weigh 92,000 pounds, are 142 inches in length and meas ure 48 inches in diameter. The molds in which the rolls were cast had to be specially made, and were 160 inches in length and 60 inches in width. The firm possesses facili ties for such heavy work, and by means of the powerful 80-ton cranes were enabled to handle the huge mass at will. The rolls were made to the order of the Cambria Iron Works, and were shipped to Johnstown yesterday. They will form part of the new steel rail plant now in course Of erection, and which will be one-third larger than that destroyed in May. The Pfacenix Roll Works have also lately completed two pairs of armor plate rolls for Carnegie & Co.'s Homestead Works, which have a rolling space of 120 inches, being 132 inches wide. Each pair weighs 17 tons. These are the largest armor plate rolls yet made. THE ATLANTA CONVENTION. Special Itnllrond and Hotel Rates for the Deleeates to the Same.

M. W. John CoflVy, of D. A. 149, Deposed, and the Two Districts Now One. The Executive Board of Green Glass Workers' D. A. 149, Eastern district, Knights of Labor, held a meeting on last Tuesday at the "Windsor Hotel, in Philadel phia, and took the important step of depos ing the Master "Workman, John Coffey. Worthy Foreman Phelan, by right of suc cession, was appointed to succeed John Coffey. At a further meeting of the board on Thursday, Mr. Phelan stated that he had private reatons for declining to fill the office, and added that he had received a dis pensation from T. V. Powderly by virtue of which Districts 149 and 143 were consoli dated. Louis Arrington, of Massillon, O., is Master Workman, of District Assembly 143, and he, in consequence, assumes charge of the now united districts. The consolidation of the two districts, whose interests are identical, has been urged Iby members -,of both for some time past, but it was not thought that the matter would have been effected in such a sudden manner. THE FOUNDRY DIFFICULT!. The Manufacturers Sleet and Decide to Do Nothing;. ' A meeting of founders, whose molders are still out, was held in the Renshaw building yesterday. A call at a foundry elicited the information that no action was decided upon. The manufacturers are averse to saying anything about their proposed action or inaction, but from what could be picked up here and there there seems to be a lack of unanimity among them. They do not seem to know what is going on among themselves, for one founder yester day stated that but three or four foundries had really signed the scale, whereas it has been signed by the eight whose names have been published. No further signatures had been sent in to the headquarters of the strikers yesterdav at the time of this writing. The men on strike maintain the same attitude, and have under contemplation a demand for an ad ditional 5 per cent, which, if advanced, may precipitate matters.

At a meeting of the trustees of Saint Paul's German Evangelical Protestant Church, of Allegheny, held last Thursday evening, the resignation of the pastor, Rev. Alfred J. Koerner, was received and ac cepted. He came to thfe Allegheny church from TJtica, N. Y., two years ago, succeed ing Rev. Mr. Eldrich. The resignation is said to have been forced, because of the rev erend gentleman's habit of borrowing money and contracting bills which he failed to pav. Last winter Rev. Mr. Koerner prosecute a libel suit against Rev. B. Pick, of the Ohio Street Evangelical Protestant Church, al leging that Rev. Mn- Pick had said that Rev. Mr. Koerner left TJtica without pay ing his debts. Rev. Mr. Koerner secured a judgment of 6cent3. Rev. Mr. Koerner's salary has been $1,000 a year. Last June the trustees induced him to leave with the treasurer 535 monthly to be applied to.his debts. After this bad been done for four months the trnstees claim to have discovered that they cannot pay the debts as rapidly as the pastor can pile them up. Recently Peter Lentz, a member of the church, who keeps a grocery store at the corner of Main and Walnut streets, sent a dun to the pastor. In return he received a sharp letter, which he laid before the trustees. When they called upon Rev. Mr. Koerner for an explanation he offered to resign. GORED TO-DEATH BI A BULL. The Fate of an Old Soldier Who Had Fought at Frederlckabnrff. Samuel Davidson, an old-time resident of Plum township and an old soldier who shed his blood at Fredericksburg, answered the last roll call last night after a fieht other than he had ever before been engaged in. He was driving his cattle home as usual, when he was called upon to do battle with a bull which suddenly charged down upon him. Having nothing at hand with which to defend himself the unfortunate old sol dier was unable to stand up before the bull, who had gored him'to such an extent before assistance arrived that he lived but an hour afterward. , 1889. WHERE IS MR. BORNE? His Deserted Wife From Erie After Him With a Warrant She Charges Him With Sieallag Her Jewelry. A letter was received by Inspector Mc Aleese last week from Erie signed by a lady named Ida M. Arbuckle. The writer wanted to know if a man named H. C. Home was in the insurance business at No. 64 Fifth avenue. After investigating the Inspector answered the letter, stating that H. C. Home, representing the Accident Life In surance Company, of New England, was located at the" number mentioned. On Friday morning last two well-dressed and rather fine-looking ladies drove to the Central station in a carriage, and on finding Inspector McAleese introduced themselves by handing him the letter written to them at Erie. They were mother and daughter. After a short conversation the younger woman handed the Inspector a warrant issued by a magistrate of Erie, and calling for the arrest of H. C. Home for robbery and desertion. In explanation of this the younger woman stated that about two weeks ago she was married to H. C. Home after a brief courtship, they having only been acquainted for about ten days. Tne marriage ceremonv was perlormed by an Erie Alderman. Home only lived with his new wife two days when suddenly he" skipped out, taking with him his wife's gold watch and chain, earrings, breastpin and diamonds to the value ol $250, since which time nothing had been heard of him. The women were sent to the Central Hotel and a detective was detailed on the case. He visited the office at 64 Fifth avenne and found a boy in charge, who stated that he had not seen or heard of his employer, Mr. Home, for six weeks. At No. 2 Eighth street, where Home lived, he bad not been seen for six weeks, and they thought he had gone to Canada. This was reported to the women and they left for home on Friday night Mrs. Home, or Miss Arbuckle, the de serted wife, is a well-known music teacher of Erie, and is also well known there for her dramatic talent, she being aleading amateur actress of that city.

The Quarterly Committee of the Prison Board, composed of Judge White, Con troller Speer and County Commission Mer cer, met yesterday to hear tbe statements of Warden Berlin and Mrs. Elizabeth Rail men jail. ing regarding the latter's dismissal from the Warden Berlin stated that he had dis charged Mrs. Railing because of incom petency. She did not have the execntive ability necessary for tbe position of Matron, and disobeyed the rules, and would absent herself from the jail without permission. Mrs. Railing denied that she was incom petent or had disobeyed the rules. She assert ed that she never went out without telling the warden, or, if he was not about, leaving word in the office. She had appealed to the board because she did not think she had re ceived fair treatment The committee will report the matter to the Prison Board, which will act at the next meeting. Mrs. Railing's dismissal, however, is final, as the warden has that authority. The only action to he taken is as to the course of the wardeuiu so doing. As the case stands it is simply a question of veracity between the warden and Mrs. Railing as to the circum stances of the discharge. DETAILS BROUGHT 0DT.

AGAINST GRAZIER STREET. flomevrood Folk Object to Belna; assessed for Its Continuation. Last night a meeting was held in Home wood school hopse to protest against the assessment of property holders betweenFifth and Homewood avenues for the new Grazier road opened from Homewood avenue to the city limits. The property holders have already been assessed for the portion of the road between Homewood avenue and Fifth avenue, and consider the second assessment to be unfair. , Mr. T. Stuchell occupied the chair,,and nearly all tne property holders were in attendance. The meeting was unanimous in passing a resolution that a petition be drawn up and presented to Council, request ing that the viewers' report on the continu ation of Grazier street be sent back for re vision, or entirely quashed. The meeting also agreed to fee an attorney to fight the assessment in court They are very deter mined in their resolution not to pay the assessment on tbe new street PR0TED TOO MUCH FOR Hill".

SOME REAS0HS GIYEH W HT IT IS SO Professions Count for bat Little Among Applicants For Place. ABSTAINERS WHO FELL FROM GRACE Most people conversant with Pittsburg will agree that the moral condition of that part of the city below Grant street might be improved, bnt doubtless few of them have ever considered it more wicked than all the rest of Allegheny county combined, but figures, generally admitted to be veracious, attest the truth of the assertion. It seems to be terribly wicked, though it is supposed there must be a greater propor tion of salvation salt in it than was in Sodom and Gomorrah, else it would have been destroyed before this time. T,he Department of Fnblic Safety keeps a record of police doings which, in this age of reasoning by statistics, or rather by proving' or disproving by them, is an interesting study, or might be an instructive one. This record shows that 75 per cent of all .tbe arifests made by the police in Pittsburg.are in the territory below Grant street,supposiug the line of that street to be carried through to the Allegheny river. The bare sugges tion is enough to frighten population away from that haunt of the Evil One, and yet it contains more people in proportion to area than any other portion of the city, and a large "percentage of the religio-charitable and humane associations are centered In it In brief, it is where both the evil and the just congregate more than in any other por tion of either city of the same extent. As the result found by the department is not a cause, uncaused, there is, of course, some speculation caused by the announce ment Some temperance people triumph antly refer to Judge White's assertion that WHEEE THE HOST LIQTJOS IS SOU) there is the most crime, but there are sev eral things one may stumble over in rush ing to a conolusion of this kind and in fall ing smash his argument into smithereens. In the first place, some drinkers deny that there is much liquor sold in this district as they "say the saloon keepers have generally become converted to the temperance cause, and have reduced the size of glasses in ac cordance with their newness of heart Others contend that most of tbe drunks which culminate in docking lor repairs In the Cen tral station are sprouted outside the district where saloons are scarce and where the bot tle trade flourishes. Before coming down town it is claimed that a drunk is pretty well ou tha way, and an extra drink or so finishes the work, and the victim is gathered in where the police are most plen tiful, and while in easv reach bv the patrol wagon force. Then there is the. fatal pro pensity of a boozer to run into the jaws sf danger just when he is least able to take care of himself. There is also another element calculated to disturb the calculations of the temper ance people in this respect There is no other city in the United States to whioh half a million people drift to the same ex tent as to the territory In question. Almost the entire travel converges in it, and it rapid transit lines will continue to multiply on the surface in this section old Juggernaut will find his business so dwarfed in com parison that he will retire. Nearly all the vehicle traffic and travel converses in this territory, and has but eight outlets. Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Penn and Liberty avennes, Smithfield.

In other cities crowds have more room to spread and where in Philadelphia, for In stancertbey can scatter over several square miles of thoroughfare, here they are com pressed Into a half a. mile square, and in a city composed of nearly all nationalities, creeds and colors, the wonder is that they endure each other's society with so little friction on occasions when race and creed' heterogeneity, is so densely massed. Another thing brought out bv the depart mental system of doing- business has been the demonstration of the unreliability of professions ana certificates or character. Men addicted to the flowing bowl to an ex tent denominated habitual cannot get posi tions, at least in theory they can not Well, during a certain period, and not a very long one either. there were well on toward 200 cases of discipline for offenses charged.

With nnfafr eagerness to injure the pro. ' Eects of Arch H.

A fair com parison of his experience with that ot law yers who have acceptably filled that ofiee, and who have given entire satlsfeetiea to the bench and bar, will not be ont ofplaee. Mr. Rowand studied law under George Shiras, Jr., was regularly examined 'bya strict committee appointed by the Jwtees. creditably passed the examination, aad was 1 by tbe Judges of the several courts admitted r, to practice. He has tried over 300 criminal A caes, three of them being homicide cases, '' the most important in criminal practice. He -' has one of the best law libraries in the oity,v and a large clientage. Colonel Levi Bird Dnfi had tried but few , criminal cases when he -was made Dittriet Attorney General Pearson entered the ser vice shortly after he was admitted to the bar and had bnt little experieaae when he teek? hold of that office.
