" . ' f WFv? -TT W1SSP " ' ITT . IV pi i t-- f 2 felie Internal Beyenne Collect or Guns for Honors. THE MATOEALTY LISTS fc.'Entered by the Aggressive Council man From the 19th. , A STIRRING SITUATION FOEEGAST A sensation was caused in the field of local politics by the whispered announce ment on the streets yesterday that Hon. S. D. Warmcastle, Collector of Internal Reve nue, had definitely decided to become a can - didate for the position of Mayor of Pitts burg. "While there are many who were inclined to loos: upon the candidacy as a matter of mere gossip, it was definitely ascertained upon reliable authority that Mr. "Warm castle had recently not only stated that he would enter the lists, but that he only did bo in the firm belief that he could make a winning fight. Mr. "Warmcastle was out of town yesterday, and will not return until to-morrow. In his absence one of his near friends gave the facta in the matter, as fol lows: "Several of Mr. "Warmcastle's intimate friends have long known of his ambition to make the race for the Mayoralty. His Councilmanic races have all been brilliant, and his record requires no reproduction. He has been the head and front of the Inde pendents in Council, and his re-election last spring against a most vigorous opposition showed him to possess peculiar strength before the people of his own locality. He would make things lively in the race." "But how about the handsome Federal appointment he now holds?" was asked. THERE IS NO COXFLICTKW. "He has bad the question looked up and has satisfied himselt that he can make the canvass for the Mayoralty without inter ference with his official position, and would not be required to resign the Eevenue Col lectorship until his election as Mayor was assured." "There is a difference in salaries, is there not?" "Oh, yes. The Eevenue Office pays him, I believe, $4,500 a year, with a tenure of office perhaps unlimited, unless there should be a change in administration from Repub lican to Democratic The Mayor's salary is $7,000 per annum with a three years' term. The latter is quite desirable, especially as the Mayor has so little to do under the new charter. But, aside frdm the monetary re sults', Mr. "Warmcastle is a man of consider able ambition, and under the present politi cal conditions his nomination and election wonld be not only a feather, but a whole bald-beaded eagle, in his cap. He is natur ally aggressive, and a fight of such pro portions would suit him right down to the ground. BEADY FOB THE QUESTION. "It is certain that when the matter was broached to him recently by some friends his answer was so promptly given as to con vey the impression that the possibilities ot such a canvass had been a subject of more than recent consideration. Mr. "Warm castle comes ot one of the oldest Pittsburg families, and enjoys a social prestige which would certainly enter into the fight as a pow erful iactor. Those of Pittsburg's buslifcss men who backed him for the Federal ofiice he now holds, are understood to be heartily in accord with his present plans and aspira tions, and he has among the danger ele ment of city Bepublicans a very strong fol lowing. HE'D MAKE THINGS LIVELY. "Mr. "Warmcastle is no novice in politics, either. He has several times had Council manic fights of great magnitude on his hands, and has always managed to squeeze through where men of less practical ability and adroitness woull have been defeated. One of his opponents, a wealthy contractor, actually complimented him after last spring's election by saying to him: 'Sam, you make me more trouble than anyone in Pittsburg politics. It is understood, I think, that Mr. "Warmcastle would receive powerful aid from several gentlemen who have heretofore dabbled mainly in State politics. The next Mayoralty struggle will be the liveliest ever carried on in this city." WHAT AN OPPONENT SAYS. A veteran politician, who is usually "ferninst" Mr. Warmcastle, said last night: "This possibility is extrcmelyinteresting. It has been understood, as a matter of course, that Judge John H. Bailey would be the Democratic nominee. The Democrats of the city came within One of placing his candidacy squarely before the people when tbey indorsed Judge Collier and nominated Dick Johnston. It is so unanimously con ceded that there seems to be nd question of .Judge Bailey's candidacy. Until now no other prominent Republican has been men tioned for the mayoralty but Mr. H. I. Gourley, whose candidacy enjoys the countenance of C. L. Magee, Esq., William Flinn and other leaders. Whether Mr. "Warmcastle will be able to capture the nominating convention or not is an open question. HE MIGHT BOLT TUX CONVENTION. "But he is just the man to go into the canvass upon an independent basis if beaten in the regular convention. In fact such an outcome would not surprise me in the least. It would be Tammany Hall, the County Democracy and the Bepublicans exactly re versed in this county. "Whether a three cornered contest would elect Judge Bailey, would also be a matter for active specula tion. At all events the announcement of Mr. "Warmcastle's candidacy will set a whole lot oC people to thinking. I guess there are lively times ahead in old Alle gheny." irS A GREAT II0WLEK. The Stenbenvtlle Pike Delated With Oil From the Davis Well. John M. Patterson is in luck again. Early yesterday morning, so early that the moon hadn't yet abdicated, the driller of the well on the John Davis farm, on the Steubehville pike, a mile south of the Ar-buckle-Jamison gusher, thought he smelt petroleum very strongly. Scarce had his nostrils been apprised, when all bis other senses were awakened by a spurt of grease which nearly drowned him and went high over the derriok. She hissed and groaned like a geyser for a time, but finally the men got her capped, and yesterday the pipe line men went to work to stop the waste as quickly as possi ble, as the oil was flowing luriously down the hillside and spoiling the fishing in Cbartiers creek. Mr. Scully, of the Diamond National Bank, points to this well as further evi dence that the drill is the only definite au thority on the subject of oil belts. Fortunes have Been spent in the vicinity of the Ar-buckle-Jamison and the Davis well, and the territory six weeks ago was condemned; now it is beginning to be rated in import ance with Thorn creek. The Arbuckle Jamison shows no signs of discouragement. She responds with increased fervor every time she is agitated. A Small Fire In a Central Place. The alarm from station No. 23 at 10.20 last night was caused by a slight blaze in establishment of the "Welsbach Incandescent Lighting Company, in the Penn building, on Penn avenue. The globe of a test lamp had broken, and the woodwork was set on 'fire. The blaze was extinguished with a VBabcock" with bat slight damage.- ARMCASTLETO RUM P. .' B. MATTERS EXPLAINED. Wnll Will In Fntnre bo the Transfer Stn. tlon lor tho P., V. & C. A Talk With Robert Pitcairn. There is no foundation for the rumor cur rent in financial circles yesterday, to the effect that the Pennsylvania Bailroad con templated abolishing its shops at East Lib erty, and, as well, had in view the removal of the stock sale yards to some other lo cality. Superintendent Pitcairn was called upon and informed that the rumor received more or less credence uptowh, and was asked to affirm or deny it. He said that the first in timation he had of any such proposed action on the part of his company was what he had just been told. Mr. Pitcairn stated that there was no truth in the story. "What probably occasioned speculation in the matter was the action of the company in arranging for a removal from the Pittsburg yards of the transfer station to "Walls sta tion; all freight arriving over the Pitts burg, Virginia and Charleston road being at present transferred in the Pittsburg yards. Eorthis purpose the company is extending its four-track road from Brlnton to Walls, and for a year past has been build ing extensive shops and sheds at the latter station. This step is deemed necessary from the circumscribed area of the Pittsburg yards and the yearly increasing volnme of traffic which has to be bandied. It was learned that instead of the East Liberty and Torrens shops going into disuse in conse quence of the removal of the transfer -station, that it was probable the company would find it necessary to put the shops at these stations into yet more extended use. The amount of money proposed to be ex tended in this direction will exceed $1,000, 000. MISS CUSACK IN DETK0IT. The Hub of Keomare Will Lecture In the City of the Straits. Miss Cusack, the "Nun of Kenmare," left yesterday for Detroit, her stay in this city having been successful financially. She realized quite a handsome sum from her lecture receipts and the sale of her litera ture. Father Murphy, whose visit to the "'Nun" was said to have brought upon him the dis pleasure of his superiors, was interviewed in Baltimore yesterday in regard to his action. He stated that his visit was actuated by a desire to reconvert Miss Cusack. Bishop Fhelan stated that while he considered Father Murphy's visit injudicious, no cen sure would be made under the circum stances. A rumor that the Catholic Church pos sessed stock in Freemasons' Hall is denied by the trustees of that institution. The prospective removal of the ban o f the church against secret orders gives much pleasure to local members of the Catholic Church. THE! TAKE EXCEPTIONS. Plen.ant Valley OfflcInU Mildly Deny Konntz'a Statements. The officials of the Pleasant Valley Bail way take exceptions to the statements of Commodore Kountz, as published in yester day's Dispatch. Commodore Kountz, in talking to the reporter, said that the Pleas ant Vallev line had issued bonds to the amount ot $1,000,000. This is denied by the road's officials, who say that their total bond issue was but S00, 000, of which $75,000 was transferred to the Fidelity Title and Trust Company, with which to take up a former issue at maturity. This would leave an additional issue of but $225,000. This money is being used to -eon-vert the lines into an electric line, and President Henry says that when the altera tions are completed the Pleasant Valley will have one of the best equipped Systems of rapid transit in the country. I0DNO GIKLS AS C1GAE MAKERS. Skilled Worker Say They Should Serve a Longer Apprenticeship. The cigar makers are making strong ob jections to the increasing employment of young girls in the capacity of finished workers by the Union American Cigar Com pany. "Under the trade regulations the girls must servo an apprenticeship of one year at certain Wages, but the finished workers claim that they cannot learn the business in the time. They obiect to the firm employing so many, and thus prevent skilled workers from obtaining full employment. Action on the matter is being considered. HITHER AND THITHER. Movement! of Plltsburscrs and Other of Wide Acquaintance. Russell Harrison passed through the City last night. He was on his way from Mon tana to Washington, ho said, to visit his mother. He remarked that he would Spend one day In the Capital. Mr. Harrison did not seem over whelmed with delight at the way the elections had gone in Montana and could not forgive the fates for sending the new State a democratic Governor. About political affairs in this and neighboring States he knew only what he learned lrom the press. He protested bis utter ignorance as to the causes which overthrew the Republican hopes in Ohio. In short Mr. Har rison was quite devoid of opinion on all the public questions ot the dav. J. "W. Huidekoper, a brother of ex potmaster of Philadelphia, General L C.

Five million dollars has already been subscribed, and the total could soon be brought up to 8,000,000. The Governor said that the State would send a solid Democratic delegation to Congress next year. Pittshnrgers will remember Bev. Charles T. Steck, who was pastor of the English Lu theran church in this city about five years ago. He left here about that time, and it was ru mored that he intended to go on the stage. He has just been appointed pastor of the church at Sbamokin, Pa. At the last election he was a candidatb for Congress from the Williams port district, bat was defeated. Andrew Carnagie has been interviewed In New York npon the chances of bis devoting the library $750,000 to a public park in Pitts burg. He says emphatically that the money .will not be diverted from the free library pur poses. It will be noticed that it is now univer sally admitted that the free library scheme will enlist 57o0,00U, widely discredited as The Dis patch's exclusive publication of that fact was at the time. Senor Jose Cavellos, a hidalgo of Vera Cruz, Mexico, is in the city looking around in the line of machinery applicable to the uses of silver mining. The Senor believes that at no distant day gas and od will be developed In the vicinity of Vera Cruz.

The Modest Councilman Presents Mrs. Schenley's Deed. HE DISCLAIMS AN ACTIVE SHARE The Park Committee Formally Becelves the Gift INTERESTING DETAILS OP THE AFPAIE Tne Schenley Park was the theme of dis 'cussion in all quarters of the city yesterday, and Mrs. Schenley's generosity with the en ergetic work of Chief Bigelowof the Depart ment of Public "Works and B. B. Carnahan were alike the subjects of commendation. The residents of -the Twenty-second ward walked the streets with a more erect air and sprightly step, feeling some three inches taller in spite of the depressing condition of the atmosphere as who should say "We are the park people." At the meeting of the Park Council Com mittee called for yesterday afternoon with some mysterious preliminaries Chief Bige low and A. T. Keating were first Oil the scene, and, as they filed into City Attorney Moreland's office, said they had doubts whether the meeting would be an bpen one or not. "W. A. Magee was the next arrival, and, held up by the report ers, declared upon entering the room that he was in favor of free speech, a tree press and everything else. Councilman Mc Gnnnegle also was in favor of an open meet ing, while Mr. Carnahan, who, with a dig nity befitting the bearer of so noble a gift, entered last, favored due publicity. The members of the committee, however, like the elements of an experiment in chemical affinity, changed their nature altogether when they were mixed, and immediately became secretive. The door was locked and for three-quarters of an hour the proceed ings were of an executive nature. IN SOLEMN SESSION. "When the doors were thrown open the committee was discovered within, Mr. Keat ing presiding. Chief Bigelow opened the proceedings by saying that too much could not be said of Mr. Carnahan's exertions in behalf of the city, and that next to Mrs. Schenley, he deserved the credit for obtain ing the royal gift. Mr. Bigelow continned that the public bad no idea of the amount of opposition which had to be overcome, and from people, he said, who were supposed to have the good of the city more at heart The journey which Mr. Carnahan took, starting at midnight on a few moments' notice, in order to be on hand and meet the opposition face to face, before Mrs. Schenley, and the firm stand he took and maintained in the matter, were commended, and as they de served to be, were crowned with success. MB. CABNAHAS BLUSHED. Mr. Carnahan, with a modest blush, dis claimed any credit, saying he had only done his duty in the matter, and then proceeded to give at length the proceedings leading up to the grant. He tola of how, in 1872, Mrs. Schenley had offered the city 185 acres of the tract for a park, but she had received no reply from the city, and always wondered why. He supposed that it was because of the panic of the following year that the city had too many other matters to attend to to think of the offer. Again in 1880 Mrs. Schenley had been spoken to in regard to donating a park, and again she enthusi astically expressed her willingness and de sire to give the cltv enough land for a park. "When the Park Committee was appointed last July Mr. Carnahan, as attorney for Mrs. Schenley's estate, was asked if he thought she would renew her offer of 1872. He said he thought she would, and the matter Was published in the morning papers nextvddy. Mr. Carnahan sent her a copy of a morning paper containing the meeting Of the committee, and made no comments upon it 16 her: hut in August he got a private let ter fronx her, iii which she spoke of the Mt Airy park project as one very dear to her, and said she would be very glad to give at least part of the tract to the city for a park. On answering this letter Mr. Carnahan sent Mrs. Schenley a topographical map of the tract, which had been prepared at the expense of much time and trouble by Mr. Bigelow and his employes, showing the exact amount ot land and its features. Ac companying the map Mr. Carnahan sent a letter showing the advantage of having the whole tract included in 4the park, as the ward in which it is located is the largest in the city, and its area is equal to that of the entire first fifteen wards of the city. Other points were brought out in connection with the matter, together with some legal advice on what Mr. Carnahan thought Mrs. Schen ley should do. MORE THAN SHE COULD AFFORD. In her reply Mrs. .Schenley, said she thought the 379 acres in the tract was more than she could give, but left Mr. Carnahan to do as he thought best The survey of the land was very difficult, owing to the disap pearance of the landmarks, and to this ob stacle is due six or seven -weeks' delay in getting the matter settled. After the survey was completed, however, Mr. Carnahan made out a deed for 300 acres of the land, and after writing a letter to Mrs. Schenley statingthe proposition he would advise, and which was the one accepted by her, he mailed it on October 10 for her approval and signa ture. But that night be was informed of the efforts being made by the real esttte syn dicate here to defeat the plans of the city, and he deemed it best to see the lady person ally. He took the same train andthe same vessel that carried his communication to London. "When he visited Mrs. Schenley he found her fully determined to keep to her purpose of donating a park to the city. She accorded fully with his view of the matter, and de clined to listen to any discussion of it by the ambassador of the anti-park syndicate In this city. THE DEED FOBJIALLT PIJESETED. At the conclusion of his explanation Mr. Carnahan, in the name of his client, Mrs. Schenley, presented to the committee on behalf of the city the deed to the 300 acres, more or less, which he thought was rather more than less by ten acres. The deed was signed and witnessed by John C. New, Consul General of the United States at London, and Oliver B. Johnson. The read ing of the deed, dated October 30, by George Sheppard, City Clerk, followed. Mr. Carnahan after the reading called attention to the clause which was inserted naming the place Schenley Park. This he said was his own, as Mrs. Schenley never asked or desired such recognition. He thought that it would be a graceful act on the pait of the city to perpetuate the name of its benefactress by conferring it upon the beautiful gilt. B. P. McGonnegle then moved that a special meeting of Councils be called for to morrow (Friday) afternoon at 2.30 to con sider the acceptance of the t park property and for other purposes. This motion pre vailed, and the City Cleik at ouce gave in structions for the notification of council men. The clerk then read the option placing the remaining 100 acres of the Mt Airey property at the disposal of the city at the rate of $1,250 per acre, the whole, $125,000, to be paid within two years. The terms were that 60 per cent of the amount should be paid before May 1, 1890, and the remain ing moiety before May 1, 1891, the option to be exercised before March, 1890. THE CITr AS A CUSTOMER. Mr. Carnahan here explained that Mrs. Schenley did not desire to sell this property to any but the city, neither ah individual nor a corporation, and the valuation placed upon the property was that assessed before it had been enhanced by the donation of the park. He produced the two offers by Messrs. Black and Baird. specified in yes terday's Dispatch, and showed that the property" to-day could be sold for 53,000 per acre. , Another noint Lo which Mi1. Carnahan wished to call attention was that in the !DHE PJTTSBUE(J IDISPATCH, THTmSDAY, NOVEMBER- - died, as' in all the' legal documents Mrs. Schenlevhasrecentlyexecuted, she describes herself as "MaryE, Schenley, a native ot the TJnlted Stages." This, he said, showed that the lady was loyal to her country, and without wishing to be offensively obtrusive in her national assertion -while In England, at the feame time she preserves her American affiliation. Mr. Carnahan farther explained thatwheh conferring with Mrs. Schenley about the park he had suggested to her that as she had paid nearly $10,000 taxes for the current year on the tract, and as the year was not yet completed, it would be a good plan to so condition the gift that the city should ap propriate balf that amount toward the im mediate improvement of the park. But to this the magnanimous lady objected, Baying she had no doubt the city would not be in the least backward in appropriating all the money necessary to beautify the place as soon as possible. Mr. Magee moved that Mr. Keating be authorized and instructed to draw up two sets of resolntions, one accepting the dona tion of the park and the name, and the other recommending the purchase of the 100 acres to Councils. This motion was agreed to, and the committee adjourned, SEQUEL TO A SENSATION. Ceo. B. Shorts, Who Eloped and Left Hln Family Destitute, Bnrled Yesterday An Averted Tragedy. The residents of Manchester were in a high state of excitement yesterday over a funeral which took place from the lower end of Fayette street. Several hundred people turned ont to observe the funeral cortege, expecting to witness a tragedy which would necessitate another funeral. The tragedy did not materialize, however, owing to the non-appearance of a would-be mourner. The funeral was that of George B. Shorts, the well-known ex-manager of the S. S. D. Thompson band, who eloped with a cousin of his wife's last winter. In March last The Dispatch exclusively published an acconnt of the runaway. Shorts left his wife and three children in destitute circum stances, and in his flight forgot to square accounts with the members of the band for their services on "Washington's birthday. His companion in flight was Molhe Sarver, of Adams street, who had bien employed in McKinney's bolt factory. After being away for several weeks they returned to the city. Shorts squared his accounts with the band, but re fused to live with his wife. The latter sued him, and when the case was tried he was ordered to pay her $7 per week. Mrs. Shorts being without money went to live with her husband's family. In the mean time her youngest child, who had been ill, died. - On Halloween Shorts ate a large quantity of nuts and the next day he became very sick. He had symptoms of spasms and Dr. Johnston, one of the oldest practitioners of Allegheny, was called to attend htm. Thinking the fruit was the cause of the trouble, the doctor prescribed accordingly, bat the patient grew worse. After a lapse of several days Dr. Johnston called in Dr. John Dickson, but they could do him no good and he died on Monday night. All through his sickness the wife whom he had deserted tenderly nursed him and did everything she possibly conld to alleviate his sufferings. She sat up bight after night with him.andherdevotionW&smarked. Mol lie Sarver, the girl Shorts ran away with, was also much interested in him, but conld get no information from the family. She sent to Dr. Johnston, bnt he refused to say anything about his patienb When Shorts died Miss Sarver caused the report to be circulated that she was going to attend the funeral. One report Was that she had hired a carriage and would give orders to the driver to take the first place following the hearse and preceding the family. This reached the ears of the latter and they took steps to prevent the woman from attending the funeral. Short's father, ft is said, got into a rage and said he would shoot the'girl if she was seen in the vicinity of the house during the funeral services. It is said that he became so violent at Mis Sarver's con duct that he had to be locked in a room in the house. The funeral took place at 2 o'clock yester day afternoon from the Shorts' family resi dence, No. 13 F.ivette street. It Was in charge of Undertaker Lowrie, and there mains were interred in the tTniondale Cem etery. The family were on the lookout for Miss Sarver, but she kept out of the way. If she attended the funeral she kept herself concealed, as nothing was seen of her. About two years ago while attending to a horse. Shorts was kicked in the abdomen, and this was the cause of his death. As the case had baffled the skill of the physicians they decided to hold an autopsy afler Short's death. The family also expressed a wish that this be done and Doctors Johnston and Dickson made the" examination. It was found that the Injury received two years ago was the cause of Shorts' death. His intes tines were bruised and corded and it was singular that the man lived as long as he didi TWO EAST ENDUES ELOPE. The Couple Tnko Advantage of the New Jersey Marriage Laws. "W. J. "Wilson, a Pennsylvania Bailway brakeman, and Miss Sadie Atehison, daugh ter of the well-known contractor, Thomas Atchison, of Shadyside, are the principals in an East End elopement story. The two young people met at a picnic at Idlewild about a year ago. On September 28 the young girl got the consent of her parents to visit friends in Philadelphia, but instead of going to the Quaker City she went to Jersey City, where she met her lover and the two were married. The bride then visited her friends in Phila delphia, and a few weeks ago she returned to her home as if frothing unusual had transpired. "When the secret leaked out her father forbade her the house, and she packed her trunk and joined her young husband, 0'HARa'S MEN TO RESUME W0EK.

The Stamp of the Chicken Blown in the Shells. DOCIOES EGGED ON TO kS AUTOPSY Pew of the fanny egg stories told in books Will compare favorably with the one that came from the Southside last night. Mrs. John Beltb, who keeps a hoarding house at 2102 Carson street, purchased 12 dozen of eggs on Tuesday from a Butler county ped dler, for which she paid the sum of 20 cents per dozen. Thejtwore a bright, fresh ap pearance, and Mrs. Beith congratulated her self at having secured a good bargain. yesterday morning one of the boarders, who is fond 6f eggs in their raw state, de voured one of them. It was not long until he said he felt something wrong. Mrs. Beith had fried eggs for breakfast yesterday morning. The boarders didn't complain, but the expression on their faces indicated their thoughts. Two or three of the board ers who carry their dianers to their work had boiled eggs for dinner. Somehow they did not care much for eggs yesterday. Eggs were unpopular. This puzzled Mrs. Beith and she began, to examine the eggs, and she suddenly made lip her mind that the eggs were artificial. She had read in a magazine some years ago that an invention for making eggs bad been produced, and she was positive she had been victimized. AS EXPEET ANALYSIS. She took a dozen of the eggs to Dr. Am holt As soon as the physician saw them he said they were manufactured, Bnt they were so perfect. They were well formed and had the appearance of being of about three species. On many of them was blown the stamp of the chicken who laid them which added to their natural appearance. Mechanical ingenuity had t certainly done all it could do in the formation of the eggs. "While the physician was satisfied that the eggs were not real hen eggs, he felt it was too much to ask the public to accept the statement as being true. Some bf the eggs were taken to the South side Hospital where they were examined by three or four members of the medical staffi It was unanimously agreed that they were artificial. A CHEMICAL EdOSERTIOH. One was analyzed. The y61k seemed to be formed of carrots or a similar colored vegetable, with some gummy substance around it. The shells were apparently made by grinding up old shells, and after mixing them up forming them into a new Shell. The substance surrounding the volks was of a salty characterand was not like albumen, except in color. The man who ate the raw one yesterday morning is one of the firemen at No, 12 engine house. He said last night that he has eaten & good many raw eggs, but he never before swallowed one that had such a tough yolk. Dr. MUndorf spent half an hour last night in attempting to beat One of them into a froth, but after exhausting his strength, handed the beater to a fellow mem ber of the staff. An effort was then made to fry one of the eggs, bnt without success. The yolk got hard without cooking, and the albumen, or, more properly speaking, what was supposed to be albumen, remained in its original state. Mrs. Beith. never saw the man before from whom she purchased the eggs, and she never expects to see him again. It is very evident that he did not expect to ever see her again when he sold her the eggs. WILL N0TADYAN0E. 'II Iron ntid Steel Rate Only Will Go Vp on the I81I1 Inst. George E. McCague, General Agent of the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Bailroad in this city, returned yesterday from Chicago where he went to attend the meeting of the Central Traffic Association. The most important business transacted at the meeting was an agreement not to ad Vance the rates on pig iron, wire rods, etc. The advance was included in the general advance in rates to take effect on the 18th inst. Under the agree ment made at the meeting the advance will apply on iron and steel products only.

A number of the agents present wanted to make the advance, bat there was a fight against it. Several votes were taken on the matter, bnt as a unanimods action for the change could not be secured, the rates were not increased. Those who objected to the change said the condition of the business would not warrant it. They stated that althongh the prices of raw materials had advanced a few points, the increase did not warrant a change in the freight rate BfllPMESTS OF C0EE EASIEE.

Mayor Pltlef and the Union League Club came in for a good share ot criticism for having dis played such a lack of courtesy, to say noth ing of the spirit of hospitality which should have marked the Philadelphia reception. Mr. Curtis is praised for having protested against the treatment Shown his Sodth American curiosities and for having broken up the show by threatening to remove fBe "Wasn't that terrible?" said Captain O. "W. Batohelor, Chairman of the Committee on Entertainment, that received the dis tinguished gentlemen In this city. "I'm sorry for the Philadelphia committee, for I know the utter impossibility of traducing 60 people to 700 or 800, and yet those South Americans are not the class of people to be stucK up against the side of the wall to be gazed at and insulted. They are re fined and exceedingly well educated, and wonld grace any occasion. There was a lively interest demonstrated in the delegates while they were here, but we expected that, and endeavored from the beginning to avoid the very cir cumstance with which they were met in the Quaker City. "We succeeded in giving them an Informal hospitable entertainment, and with what entire satisfaction our efforts were universally received can be seen by referrine to the New York Herald, which advised the people of that city to 'copy after Pittshnrg' when the delegates arrive in the metropolis next month." Colonel T. P. Roberts regarded the matter Very seriously. "The delegates were the guests of the Union League Club, the crack organization of Philadelphia,'' said he, "and it is a hard matter to entertain them where so many people were expected to be present simply through curiosity." Chairman "W. KSchmertz, of the Recep tion Committee, said he took no stock in the reported discourtesy on the part of the Union Leagne Club, and was half inclined to blame Mr. Curtis for having a hand in the attain "If it is true," said be, "that the delegates were regarded as cirens curiosities, and treated as such, I don't wonder at the attractions becoming morti fied. It was a mistake, and it was not the kind of an entertainment the representative men of any foreign country wonld have been given in Pittsburg, Being President Of the Chamber of Commerce, which ar ranged for the reception and entertainment of the delegates, and being acquainted with 2uite a number of people in Philadelphia, don't feel like criticising them too se verely. "We succeeded in entertaining them nicelv in Pittsbur?. Thev were satisfied. and I am sorry for Philadelphia, if they did not succeed in doing as well as we did." Mr. James B. Scott, Chairman of the Programme Committee, laughed and in a jesting manner said: "It would simply be ridiculous for anyone to suppose that the Union League Club could imitate the Pitts burg committee-in their manner of enter' taining visitors." He refused to say any thing farther, asserting his opinion that the unfortunate occurrence had been caused by someone having had his toes tramped upon. ACTION OF TKI5ITT CHURCH VESTKF. Resolutions Adopted on the Death of Mr. John H. Shoenbcrger. At a meeting of the vestry of Trinity Protestant Episcopal Church, Pittsburg, Pa., held November 13, 1889, the following minute was adopted: "Whereas, "We have received the sad in telligence of the death of our senior warden, John H. Shoenberger, which occurred on rfhel2lhlnst., in the city of Mew York, In his BOtb year, It is Resolved. That, though in the course of nature, he had fulfilled his alloted time, it is with more than ordinary emotion that we come together to make a record of bis death. He Was connected with this parish from bis youth, and had been a member of this ves try since 1837, longer than most of his sur viving associates can remember and before some of us were born. He grew to manhood tinder the ministry of the Bev. John H. Hopkins, whose instructions must have deeply impressed his youthful mind, for his religious convictions and attachment to the churoh increased with bis years, and as the Lord prospered him, and by his liberality and good business sense, h'e became the mainstay of this church, and the valued counselor Of the line of brilliant and godlv men who succeeded to its rectorship, and many & munificent gift, to some worthy charity, has gone beyond this parish and beyond the confines of this State, lrom John H. Shoenberger, the recipient of Which never knew any other almoner than Trinity Church of Pittsburg. Resolved, That as evidence Of Mr. Shoen berger's religions fervor and simple faith, we do record a sentiment on prayer, as ex.

A congregational meeting of the Central Presbyterian Church was held last night This meeting was called by the unanimous request of the congregation to hear tne re reading of the fiaancial statement and to take action on the resignation of the pastor, Bev. L N. Hay. The attendance was large. But the. "Jadles predominated. After the pastor's letter tf resignation Had been read the financial statement wis presented. It showed that the receipts for 1889 tip to November 1 were $3,064 08, and. the expenditures (3,010 92, leaving as a balanoe in the treasury at that date $53 16. Then the statement went on to show that, with the probable outlay for the balance of the year, there would be a deficit Of $374 94 by January 1, 1890, If money" were hot forthcoming. In the discussion which followed several plans for raising money were proposed, but were met.by the trustees with the assertion that evervtning possible to get sufficient money had been done. It was stated that of the 500 active members oi the church 150 of them had been the practical supporters, while the remaining 350 had not given a cent. Just here one member, who claimed to belong to the liberal 150, suggested that the delinquents give 1 cent each per day. and he guaranteed that the church would not only get Out of debt and be able to pay their DttStor a Satisfactory salarv, but would soon create a sinking fund. There was but one gentleman who responded to this, and he voluntarily offered to increase his pew rent $20. After making this offer the gen tleman left the church, presumably in dis gust. After a deal of talking, bnt no more Offers Of assistance, it was moved that the pastor be asked to reconsider his resignation, and that a committee be appointed to make the request. The motion was carried unani mously, but no committee was appointed, as bo one had the power to offer Dr. Hays anything more than $1,500 for the ensuing year, instead oi $2,000, which he wants. The ohronio kicker was there and made himself conspicuous by objecting to every thing. The meeting finally adjourned, to be held next "Wednesday evening, when Dr. Hays is expected to be present. Definite action On the resignation must then be taken so as to have matters in shape for the Presbytery, which meets on the second Tuesday in December. Treasurer Ogden had the charter of the church and financial statements for every year since 1860 with him, ready to answer any questions which might be put to him. He showed THE DISfrATCK reporter what had been done with the $2,200 raised by mortgaging the church property. The money was used to lift several notes in the tear 1885 drJd to pay various small expenses. The notes aggregated over $1,800. Though Dr. Hays told a DiSAdfl re porter sometime ago that his resignation bad been made id good faith, it is the ex. peetation of the congregation that he will reconsider it, and some members think thst he may yet accept $1,500 per year salary. A IBA15 MASHES HUOftOOED. He Used His fascinations en an Irish Olrf) but Went to Soap. Norah King, a pretty young Irish girl, who has been only about four months la the country, started from her temporary home in Jamestown, N. Y., to join her friends in Allegheny on Tuesday. "While on the train she was several times persecuted with the attentions of a professional masher, who sat beside her aud behind her for several hours during the journey. At last the girl appealed to the conductor, who led the offender by the ear into the smoking car, where he was placed in charge of the brakeman. Upon the arrival of the train at the Pittsburg and Lake Brie depot late on xuesaaj night the girl was quite hysterical- Lieutenant Banker, Of the Sonthside, to whom the ease was reported, detailed Officer Burke to escort the gfri home, as through fright she was utterly un able to take care of herself, and the officer accompanied her to her friends at 40 Corry street, Allegheny. The masher had jumped the train while passing through the Lake Erie yards, but the police have a good de scription of him, abd if he remains in Pitts burg he will stand a good chance ot learning the trade of barrel makins.
