ft I m m W 1 BIG RID OF SILVER. piTartin Joyce Says He Has a Genuine Mine &OI0SE TO CONNELLSYILLE. iBe Has leased Contiguous Territory To Protect the Lode. FV JHE REGION'S HIDDEN MINERAL That "Western Pennsylvania is noted for -its mineral -wealth goes without saying, but most people believe that the said wealth is confined chiefly to the commoner grades of minerals. Iron, coal and oil have all con tributed their share to the prosperity of the State, and have added many dollars to the private iortunes of some of its citi zens. It is on this account that striking of a new coal or iron mine canses no comment, and the bringing in of a new oil or gas well creates bnt little stir, except among those directly interested. People of this section have been accustomed to look to the West or our supply of the more precious metals, ut in all likelihood the day for so doing has passed. A silver mine has been found almost at the very doors of Pittsburg, as it were. WHEEE THE JOYCE LODE IS. Pour miles above Connellsville, on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, there is a large stone quarry operated by Martin Joyce, the well-known contractor of this city. The quarry is worked to secure the stone for the paving of various streets for which Mr. Joyce has the contracts. Some months ago while the laborers were remov ing the stone from the quarry they noticed, here and there, traces of some mineral which they took to be lead or tin. THE SILYEE WAS A SLEEPEB. At first no notice was taken of the min eral eiceptto avoid it if it interfered with the removal of the stone. As the work pro gressed, however, the mineral became more apparent, and soon developed into two well defined veins. The larger of these veins proved to be of a peculiar kind of iron ore; for the smelting of which Mr. Joyce has built a furnace near the quarry, and be proposes to turn out a superior article of tool steel under a patent taken out by a man now in his employ. It is on the smaller ot the veins that our in terest now centers. This vein, which was at first very faint and taken to be another outcropping of the iron ore, has been growing larger and more distinct of late, and a couple of days ago be came so pronounced as to bother the quarry men very much. It is now, as laid bare, from 2 inches to 14 inches in thickness, and about GO .feet from the surface of the ground. It is hard to work in its present position, but specimens broken off by a hammer in the bands ol Mr. Joyce and submitted to experts have been pronounced a fine grade of silver. Mr. Joyce was hunted up lost night and asked about the matter. He said: CLAIMS THAT IT IS BONA FIDE. "I have been trying to keep this thing quiet, bnt it seems as if I will not succeed. 1 was approached by the reporters sometime ago, but I told them that I had only found a vein of iron ore. At the time I believed this to be correct, but the other vein has become so distinct that I suppose someone has learned of the matter, and, of course, everything must come out It istrue that I have found a silver mine, and it is goiug to be a paying one, if the opinions of experts go for any thing. I have bad some ot the ore assayed, but will not as yet give out the results. They are, however, of such a nature as to cau'e me to build a smelting mill on the ground and prepare the ore for shipment. The vein runs to the south, diopins consid erably as it goes; but I have secured enough land in the vicinity to make me saie in giv ing its general direction." Mr. Joyce also showed the reporter a lump of pure silver which he claimed bad been smelted down from one brought to the city by himself. The find is creating great excite ment in the vicinity of the quarry, and the farmers are acting as it an oil or gas gnsher had been struck in their midst. Several Pittsburg parties are said to be trying to secnre leases, bnt so far have bad but little success. A FINE BUILDING VIEWED. The Pnbllc Critically Inppcct the Fidelity Trot nnd Title Company Edifice A Hospitable Wrlcome. The very plain but cordial invitations sent out to the business community by the Fidelity Title and Trust Company was ac cepted yesterday by a large number of gen tlemen, who experienced as much pleasure as surprise in inspecting the building and its beauties and conveniences, from the rich and tasteful tile dado in the office to the hardwood finish of the attic rooms, the most agreeable- and desirable in point of view and ventilation in the building. . After the inspection of the edifice the company sat down to a very excellent lunch served in one of the offices. One of the leading business men of the city who was present said, regarding the institution, that the need for such an institution had been urgently felt in this city for years, and it is now beinc met in the most" comprehensive and successful manner. A record of the year's business shows wide appreciation of the Fidelity Company in each one of its avenues of usefulness. The President, Mr. Jackson, and the Secretary, Mr. McVay, had good reason to feel proud over the nu merous and deserved congratulations from the leading business people of the com munity who yesterday were present, some for the first time to inspect the beauties and the conveniences of the Fidelity Company quarters. DR. THOMPSON'S EEPOET Of the Work Done nt Johnstown Alter tbe Disastrous Flood. "Dr. James K. Thompson, Medical Inspec tor for the State Board of Health, of Alle gheny, and who had charge of the State Board during the Johnstown flood, has com pleted his report to the Secretary, Dr. Benja min Lee. After mentioning the work done and the business transacted in this city, the report gives, for the first time, the exact number of bodies found in the various rivers. In speaking of Dr. Lee's telegram to "William Flinn, disapproving of Superin tendent Patton's plan for throwing the debris into the creek, Dr. Thompson adrised Mr. Flinn to burn everything, and to purify the air. Dr. Lee's order to Dr. Thompson for disinfectants comprised 50 barrels of Bullen's disinfectant, 100 barrels crude car bolic acid, 100 cases bromine and 2,500 pounds chloride of lime. There were a number of bodies found along the various rivers. The bodies were buried where found. In concluding Lis report Dr. Thompson "mentions the indebtedness of the board to tbe Chamber of Commerce. J. O. Brown, Chief of Department ot Public Safety; Jas. W. Clark, Superintendent Board of Health, Allegheny; the Pennsylvania and Baltimore and Ohio roads, and G. A. Brooks, private operator of the Chamber ot Commerce. A New Church Id Allentown. The United Presbyterian congregation of Allentown yesterday took ont a permit for the erection of a frame church building on Lillian street, between "Walter street and .Allen avenue, which is to cost 56,000. J1. D. McConnell got a permit to build a tWO storv brick residence on Rihwea street Twentieth ward, to cost 54,800. THE ENGINE WAR. Chief Brown tbo First Witness Examined He Recommended the AmotUeng The Case Adjourned Until Next Friday. The case of H. E. Safford against the city regarding the two first-class Amoskeag en gines came up for a hearing yesterday be fore George P. Huntington, master in the equity suit, J. O. Brown, Chief of the Department of Public Safety, was the first and only witness examined. The city was resresented by Attorney Moreland and the plaintiff by Attorneys Guthrie and A. W. Duff. Mr. Brown was examined on the adver tisements inserted in tbe newspapers when the purchase of new engines was decided upon. The first advertisement called for Endicott springs as a part of the machin ery, but owing to the complaints of the companies that this clause shut out compe tition because only one firm was allowed to use the Endicott spring, a new advertise ment was ordered. The second advertise ment contained some legal irregularity that caused it to be ruled invalid, and a third was inserted, the same, the witness said, as the first, except that it simply called for up right springs instead of the Endicott pat tern. Mr. Brown admitted that he had recom mended the purchase of the Amoskeag engine, knowing tbat it was higher in price than either the La France or Ahrens engines. He said that personally he knew nothing about tbe comparative worth of the different manufactures of engines, in fact he knew nothing about their mechanism, but he had been guided entirely by the advice of his superintendent and assistant superintendents of the fire department in this city, who, having had many years of experience with fire engines, were, he thought capable of judging, and he ac cepted their counsel. He quoted John Mc Aleese, present Police Inspector, and for 15 years a fireman, as saying that the Amos keag was the best fire engine in the world. Mr. Brown was questioned by the attor neys on the technical parts and classes of fire engines, on the difference between first class and extra first-class engines, and on the comparative power of fire machinery. He candidly admitted that he did not know the difference between a first-class and au extra first-class engine, and knew almost nothin? about the mechanism of an enzine. He was of the opinion, however, that the Endicott springs were better for this city on account of the way tbe streets are paved. He thought, too, that it was better to have all the engines in the city alike, because all the fire engineers understood the Amoskeag machines and they nearly all recommended them. In the tests that were made recently of engines he said he was satisfied that the Amoskeag was a good engine, and told of one case m which an Amoskeag had stood 72 hours' continuous service, which he con sidered a good record. Tbe hearing was adjourned until next Friday morning at 10 o'clock, when Chiefs Elliot and Bigelow, Controller Morrow and Chiefs Coates, Steele and Evans will be ex amined. ANDREW JACKMAN DUNG. His Physician Did Not BclieTO Imst Night He Wonld Live Till Daybreak. Andrew Jackman, the well-known livery man, is lying at the point of death at his home on Penn avenue. He is suffering from a complication of diseases, and his medical attendants, Drs. Shaw, McCann, Seip and Bingham, have given him up, and say that he will hardly live until this morn ing. Mr. Jackman is one of thebest known bus iness men in Pittsburg. Hestartedinlifeasa drayman, driving one of the old-fashioned vehicles now so rarely seen. In 1818 he started in the livery and hanling business on Irwin (now Seventh) street. From there he moved to Penn avenue, near Sixth street, where he continued until his large stables were destroyed by fire some five years ago. With his customary energy Mr. Jackman immediately started to rebuild, and put up what is considered the finest livery stable in Pennsylvania, if not in the United States. This latter buildin; is so constructed that it may easily be turned into a theater if so desired, and many are the reports that have been started that the change would be made. His business of late has been under the ac tive management of his son, Mr. Ed. Jack man. If Mr. Jackman succumbs to his illness he will be missed by many, as he was as well known socially as be was in the business world. JTo change has been reported in his condition up to the hour of going to press. HITHER AND THITHER. Movements of Pittsburcers and Others of Wide Acannlntanee.

Sena tor Bntan, who is looking vigorous and pugna cious, says that he is still the comins nominee of the Republican party for the Senatorial nomination in tbe Forty-second Senatorial dis trict. He says it is with great difficulty that he can persuade his friends that he will not ac cept the position of Collector of Customs, but be still insists tbat be is not a candidate. Mr. Warmcastle's candidacy for the Mayoralty be ing mentioned, Senator Ratan said tbat he aouotea tne correctness ol the announcement, but he acknowledged thathe had not attempted to keep trace of local city politics. Quite a number of the Catholic clergy ol this diocese, who went to Baltimore to at tend the centennial, returned yesterday. Among the important dignitaries of the Church who passed through the city were ttt. Rev. John Shanley, Bishop of the newly created See of North Dakota.

William B. Morrison, of the Inter-State Commerce Commission, passed through the city to Washington yesterday morning; taking breakfast at the Mononeahcla House. Colonel Morrison, in the course of a very short talc, said that he was not yet ont of politics in Southern Illinois. He intimated that he might be found again an adversary of Jehu Baker. Tbe Colonel feels .greatly en couraged by the recent elections, and says that his confidence in the ultimate and not far dis tant triumph of tariff reform is greatly strengthened. He is, as he was in 1S84, a Cleve land man, body and breeches. Morris W. Mead, chief of the Bureau of Electricity, left last evening for New York to complete his plans in regard to the improve ments to be made in the fire alarm office. The improvements were folly deseribed in The Dispatch several weeks ago. They will cost about $40,000. Anew system will be put in that will work automatically and obviate the neces sity of repeating alarms at the office. When a box is pulled it will register in each engine house. Sol Lewis, of the Galena Oil Company, of Franklin, Pa,, and which is owned by the Standard Oil Company, left last night for Philadelphia to interview President Roberts of the Pennsylvania Railroad, in regard to the car shortage. He stated his company was be hind 500 cars in their orders, and they were los ing hundreds of dollars daily. He tried every way to get relief from the local officials, but they could do nothing. August E, Herrick, of Rio Janeiro, S. A-, a former resident of this State, Is in the city. He has been engaged in the coffee-growing business near Kio Janeiro for the past ten years.

I What the Pittslmrg Labor Leaders Think of Homer's Expulsion. CONDEMNATIONS AND APPROVALS. His Friends Say He Will Disrupt What is Left of the District. THE FEEEATJpN MAI TAKE A HAND S Word wa. -received in the city by a num ber of prfnvl?a'J labor leaders that Homer L. McGi -isco was expelled from the Knights of Labor by the General Assembly at Atlanta, would arrive home on the 8:50 train, viajVje Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. A numbexof his friends went to the station to meet him, but he did not appear. He will probably arrive this morning. The expulsion of McGraw caused consid erable talk yesterday and many were the opinions expressed. A nnmber of his friends, one of whom it an expelled member, said the final outcome of the matter would be the total disruption of D. A. No. 3 by McGaw. A Dispatch reporter inter viewed a number of labor leaders and their opinions are as follows: Joseph L. Evans, President of the Trades Council, said: "McGaw should not be blamed for prosecuting the case against Campbell. I am responsible for that, and McGaw was working under my instructions. Everything he did, was authorised by me, and he was acting as my agent when I did not nave the time to push the case myself. It is ridiculous to expel McGaw for his connection with the case, and if spite was to be taken out on anybody it should be on me. I am willing to stand or fall on my action taken in the Jeannette matter." TVHAT E. D. liATTON SAID. Bobert D. Layton, general agent of the Treasury Departmentand ex-general secre tary of the BL of L.,aid; "I had an idea that the order was broad and liberal enough in its principles not to waste time condemn ing the reports about it "or taking the small action it did. If the organization is what it should be, it could stand the attacks. As it cannot stand the attacks it shows clearly what it is." William Walls, one of the general lec turers of the order, said: "I think the ac tion of the General Assembly was an extra ordinary proceeding. McGaw certainly should at least have the formality of a trial, according to the constitution. When a member of the order violates his obligation and makes himself liable to expulsion, charges must be preferred against him in his own local assembly court." William Smitb, President of the Ameri can Flint Glass Workers Association said: "I do not think the action will benefit the order but whether it will bean injury or not is further along. I have heard that L. A. 6,111 would withdraw from the order if Mc Gaw or Evans were fired. If they do this it certainly will injure the organization." John M. Kelly said: "I think it served him Tight. He should have been fired out long ago. I do not know what they will do in Evans' case, but I do know what should be done. It is true that the Window Glass Association passed a resolution to withdraw from the order if McGaw and Evans were not dropped. There was no malice in this. It was done because the members of the association were tired of seeing their officers hounded by these men." AKOTHEE SEASON ASSIGNED. John Flannery, one of the organizers "McGaw was not expelled because he perse cuted James Campbell, but on account of his enmity toward the order. There are still a number of kickers in the K. of L. that should be fired with him. These "sore heads" have been disappointed in their aspirations, and, in an underhand way, have vented their spleen on the principles of the organization. In the present case McGaw was all right, while at the head of the insurance department, but as soon as he lost his job he found fault, Evans will not be expelled. He will be re garded simply as the head of the Trades' Council, and in the Jeannette business he onlv did as he was instructed by the coun cil.' Cal Wyatt, one of the delegates to the council, said: "I cannot express the opinion of an honest man in regard to McGaw's ac tions. He got nothing more than he de served. I do not think he can injure the order to any great extent, but, on the con trary, the membership should increase now that he is out of it." John Ehman, McGaw's partner, said: "It is a peculiar action and something with out precedent in this section of the country. It will have a general "reflection on the order, and cannot do otherwise than assist materially in breaking up what is left of the Knights of Labor in this city. McGaw did not get any notice that the action was to be taken until Friday last He was rail roaded out in an unheard-of way, but he will not drop the case." McGaw is a member of the National Union, a local assembly of the Federation of Labor and was elected delegate to the convention to be held in Boston in Decem ber. It is probable that the union will hold a meeting to-night and discuss the matter. No action will be taken until it is officially known that he was expelled. Then the Fed erated men claim that SOMETHING WIXIi DEOP. It is a matter of discussion whether Mc Gaw will be admitted to the convention or not. The two labor organizations have an agreement not to take in the expelled or sus pended members of the other. McGaw was a member of the Federation before he was expelled from the K. of L., and a point of law has been raised. The following is a decision of General Master Workman Powderly, and is not con sistent with the action taken Wednesday: "A member must not expect a brother mem ber to violate the laws of the land or the laws, rules or regulations of another society to shield him from the consequences of his own acts." It is authoritatively stated by the Ra tional Glass Budget that John Phillips, a member of L. A. 300, who was tried three times for his connection with the charges against President Campbell, has been ex pelled from the Window Glass Workers' Association. It is generally thought that the General Executive Board had his ap peal under consideration, but this seems to be wrong. His expulsion means that he can no longer work at his trade. ORGANIZING F0KGE OWNERS. An Association Formed! to Mnlntnln Prices nnd Protect tbo Trade. It is said that a scheme is on foot to form a compact association of all the forge com panies in the country.

M. from the payment of a license fee for a fair for" the benefit of the Washington monument fund; a resolution authorizing the purchase of a site on Braddock street from the Denny heirs for the electric power plant for $16,000, and the resolution do nating a strip of ground for the erection of a lockhouse for the Herr's Island Dam, and the report of the Board of Viewers on Preble avenue. The latter ordinance was the subject of some debate in Common Council. Mr. Dahlinger stated that Colonel .Merrill, United States Engineer, was anxious to make estimates on the Herr's Island Dam and wanted the matter settled. Two Coun cilmen opposed the measure, but it was passed by a vote of 28 to 8. The ordinance appropriating $20,000 for the improvement of Monument Hill being under consideration, Mr. Jennings and Colonel W. A. Stone made stirring ad dresses favoring the beautifying of the hill. The ordinance was passed, Messrs. Amon and Thomas being the only negative voters.

Bnt He Gets Caught Playing His Own Game and Is Locked Up. Joseph Cohen was arrested by order of Inspector McAleese and is now in Central station as a suspicious character. The In spector received intelligence yesterday that Cohen had been in the city for two or three days and had been trying to borrow money from different sporting and theatrical per sons by representing that he was the ad vance agent of the Kajanka theatrical com pany that is to appear at the Onera House. He was very flashily dressed, wearing a high silk hat, diamond stud, fur-collared overcoat, and claimed his shortage of cash was due to the negligence of the manager of the company in sending him money. He displayed a lot of advertising of the company and gave tickets for the show to several parties. He secured several loans of small amounts be fore he was suspected, but finally a well known theatrical man of this city saw the young man, and believing him to be a frand notified the Inspector. The Inspector investigated the matter, visiting the Opera House officials, who said they had never heard of Cohen. On their advice's telegram was sent to Ben Stearns, manager of the Kajanka company, now playing at the Star Theater in Buffalo. He replied that no such person was connected with his company and asked that Cohen'be arrested. This was done soon after. Cohen claimed to be stopping at the Seventh Ave nue Hotel, but inquiry there showed that he was unknown and his name was not on the register. Notwithstanding Cohen's earnest protestations that he could furnish bail in any amount if allowed to go to Alle gheny, he was locked up, pending fnrther investigation. THAT CONSPIRACY CASE.

Dr. Pnms Give3 It -a Thongjitfnl Consideration. WORLDLY WEALTH HOT A FACTQE. Health and Laudable Purposes Result in Achievements. A LARGE AUDIENCE EN TE ARCED Bev. Dr. George T. Purves, of the First Presbyterian Church, of Wood street, lec tured last night at the Grace Beformed Chnrch, Webster avenne and Grant street, under the auspices of the Brotherhood of Andrew and Philip, subject "Success." He referred to the idols worshiped by the public, taking Lord Bacon's enumeration, and spoke briefly of the errors into which humanity fall in consequence of subscrib ing to received opinions blindly, and said it was not necessary to go to the heathen in the search for idol worship, and said that of all the idols there were none that could count a greater number of devotees than tbe divinity he would introduce, and it was only a brilliant skeleton, "Success." The multitude worship her under different forms. To the soldier she appears in the dress of Mars. To the politician she holds out the hope of office. Business men, women of fashion, and even children at school worship her under different forms. Were it not for public ocinion none would care a rush for her, but the majority want to be pointed out as successful men and women, and there is a ereater portion or her adher ents to be found in the United States than in any other country. Inventive genius of Americans, the laudation of self-made men, have contributed, and we live so much in the glare of publicity with newspaner reporters to tell of all we do that the passion is unduly stimulated. The case of the great Mr. Barnes of New York was cited. AMBITION SHOULD BE LAUDABLE. Dr. Purves said he would not rail at am bition. The desire to achieve real success is laudable, but our ambition should be laud able. What is regarded as success may vary. Some thieves achieve it, in tbe estimation of their pals. Some lawyers attain nnenviable success, but their admirers are found among the vicious. The commercial success is to ac cumulate money. It is the virtue of the Nineteenth century. Methods are not ques tioned, so that the end is accomplished, no matter if it be by failing and compromising with creditors on a hasis of 10 cents on the dollar. He has attained success if he has made money. Is he a man of culture? No. Is he a benevolent and religious man with a strong grasp on politi cal or social questions ? No ; but he has made money, and that fact covers all other deficiencies. It is a merciful Providence that sometimes keeps some people from at taining success. There is a political success falsely so called. It is achieved bv the man of no po litical principles, who serves himself first and his country afterward. A true states man is often grander out of than in office. Gladstone was never a grander old man than when he sacrificed office to principle. John Bright also. Such men tower more grandly sometimes in failure than in vic tory. But there is a success at the primary election that succeeds there and not in the forum, and the finger of scorn should, as a general thing, be pointed at such success. The lecturer was here more suggestive than explicit, but none the less understandable, and his application might have been easily made without going far from home. -MEBETBICIOUS SUCCESS. There is also a social success (?) for which women are mainly to blame. This is located in a multitude of little worlds, of which Europe, Asia and Africa are only suburbs. Woman to shine in " this little world spends her husband's or father's money criminally; caters to people who would not ever think of helping her in distress. Grief and bitter discontent accompany this career, but thou sands in every city place success in the triumph of a ball for which sacrifice of principle and comfort must be made. These are all sham successes all idolatry. A success is accomplished when life fulfills its purpose. Whoever fills his place in life usefully achieves real success. And some times reverses are necessary to full fruition, just as if McClelland had taken Richmond in the early days of the civil war the greater part of its fruits "would have failed of achievements. Let each see to it that his aim is worthy and well directed and then labor for accomplishment. The first requisite is good health, 'though it has occasionally been attained without it, as tne case ot ionn Milton and others that might becited. Good health and strong constitutions explain why country boys so often achieve success in cities where city-bred youths fail. Intel lectual and spiritual life is generally built ON PHYSICAL STRENGTH, and he who abuses his body by dissipation is not worthy to attain success. John L. Sullivan need not be taken as a model. He represents a misuse of power. Don't wait for opportunity. People who do seldom find it. The clerk in hnmble position who is faithful in few things is generally in the end made master of many. The man who does his best is pretty snre to be successful. But sometimes we attempt too much and become jack of all trades. "I have often been asked to help people to po sition, and when I asked 'What can yon do?' they reply 'Nothing in particnlar, but am willing to try anything.' I can do nothing for such people. The value of a good name was dwelt neon. and the story told of the thief who said he wonld give 1,000 to have the name pos sessed by a certain man, for, said he, "If I had it I conld make 10,000." It was a shrewd tribute vice paid to virtue. THE RITER ON THE RISE. Very Little Coal, However, Await Ship ment From Here. During yesterday the river rose rapidly, and indicated 13 feet at dark last evening. No coal was sent out during the day. W. H. Brown's Sons and a few other firms will probably send out to-day all that remains in the harbor. Very little over half a million bushels of coal await transportation. Shipments were not made yesterday because nearly all the steamboats were down the river. The En terprise and Crescent arrived np yesterday with tows of empties, and will probably go down to-day. The packets Hudson and Chancellor departed for Cincinnati, the first early in the morning and the second in the afternoon. A CHDRCH TO BE ENLARGED. ThoFortr-Thlrd Street Presbyterian Society In Step With the Times. The Forty-third Street Presbyterian Chnrch is to be. enlarged. The present building being too small for the congrega tion, the official board have decided to tear down tbe rear end of the church and carry it out 30 feet farther. The r.ddition will give accommodation for 200 more people. The cost of the alteration is estimated at $6,000. The interior of the building will be entirely remodeled. A BROOM HANDLE'S WORK.

SHOENBERGER'S FUNERALv A Change In tbo Published Arrangements Possible It Ofay be at Trinity Tho Chnrch Prepared. There 'is.4 strong probability that there will be funeral services at Trinity- Protest ant Episcopal, Church, at an hour yet to be fixed, over the remains of the latcJonn H. Shoenberger, senior warden of the church for half a century. At the meeting of the vestry of Trinity on Tuesday last it was brought to the at tention of those present that the arrange ments made in New York by Mr. Shoen berger's family were for the funeral services at St. Thomas' Church, with no service an nounced in Pittsburg except that customary and necessary at the interment, which will be at Allegheny-Cemetery. It was felt that Mr. Shoenbereer's life long connection with and substantial interest in Trinity parish, entitled the vestry of the church to the Claim of bearing an active part in the last rites. A nnmber of tele grams were accordingly dispatched to New York, and in order to bring every influence to bear in arranging the requisite change in the plans as published, an emissary was sent to New York. The matter was in an un settled condition at a late hour last night, no word .having been received from the gentleman who was charged with the trans mission of the views of the vestry. Pending any certain knowledge of' the likelihood of a change in the present plans the interior of Trinity Church has been ap propriately draped, the magnificient memo rial aitar saving Deen entirely con cealed by heavy crape under the personal superintendance of Mr. H. G. Hale, junior warden of the church. There has also been prepared appropriate music by tbe surpliced choir. It is quite probable that the original plans will be adhered to, but should a change be made everything is in readiness for a formal service at the church according to the usual ritual. So far as is known the body will arrive in this city at 12:45 P. ir. over the Pennsylva nia Bailroad. The interment will be at Al legheny Cemetery.and Bishop Scarborough, of New Jersey, will read the offices of the church oyer the remains of the dead iron master. THE CRAZE STILL 05. Allegheny Connty Will be Bored Full of Boles Before Spring. Though developments in the belt sup posed to connect Brush creek and Wash ington county petroleum sands still excite much attention from operators they do not depress the price of oil, which is comforting to producers. The field seems to bespread ing east, and it is not altogether improbable that there will be in time gushers in the back yards of Pittshurg. The Davis well is'promising big things, some say greater than the Arbuckle-Jamison. Notwith standing its energies are not stimulated, it isvbelieved to have put out 400 barrels in the last 24 hours, and the output has run to waste. The sand is said to be of the finest quality known, and the Stowe township roads promise to be the muddiest in the country unless we have an early freeze. McKeesport has caught on again, Dr. C. H. Black is confident thev have the sand nn there, and he and ' John Sinn have pur chased the outfit of the Black Oil Comnanv. and will move it to the Powers farm which has been drilled to the depth of 1,800 feet Dr. Black holds that two feet deeper a gas sand will be struck: and 80 feet still deeper, the Ninth avenue gas sand and 125 feet be low that an excellent oil sand. The Bey noldtown well is also being drilled deeper and developments are expected in a few days. With the excitement now generated the capacity of the Allegheny county field will likely be pretty well determined before 1890.. FOR THE RED HAN.

Craig, and Mrs. Henry Strickler, the dele gates to the National Convention of Auxil iaries, which will be held at Newark, N. J., will leave on Monday to be ready for the opening November 20.

A Colored Woman, Denied She Was Drank. Bat Admitted She Had Beta Seat Vv for . Brlnkteg TM Is Another Cose. , The colored folk were before Alderman McKenna again last night; Mrs. Bessie Worth had caused the arrest of Sherman Woodawa and Emma Moss -on a 'trifling charge. Bessie held' up her right hand and told what she had seen. A large colored anntie sat close behind Bessie, and -when she thought the witness was getting too warm in her assertions gave Bessie's overskirt a good smart pull. "Don't tear them clothes off me, please," the witness wonld snap ont. "I gness I know what I'm telling." Tommv Woodruff, who said he was "13 going on 14," related a story similar to that of Mrs. Worth. Sherman Woodason then took the oath and denied in toto what Bessie had said. "Cross-examine, Mrs. Worth," said the 'Sqnire. "Your Honor," said the cross-examiner, "this here man met me out on tbertepsbere, and he said to me, says he, 'You've gone sued me, Bessie, and yon'H never land." "Sherman." the 'Sou ire asked sternly "what did you mean by telling her that she would never land?" Sherman's lower lip dropped several inches and he stared at tbe 'Squire for some time before he found courage to reply: " 'Squire, that's a new one on me." "Sherman Woodason, yon quit telling them lies." "I ain't telling no lies, Miss Ferguson." "Don't you call me Miss Ferguson,"cried the wrathy complainant, shaking her long index finger in Mr. Woodason's face. "Don"; you use my mother's name. Don't you do if. My name's Mrs. Worth and I won't have yon calling me Miss Ferguson." "How do I know you're married? You can't prove it by me." "I've got it in black and white hanging up rignt in my room If you want to see it," "Yes, I seen the license hanging up there long time ago, but how'dlknowif yon got married?" "You ought to know it," "I seed you in the kitchen drunk twice; that's what I seed," Mr. Woodason said. "Why, Mrs. Worth." Alderman Mc Kenna said, "I thought you didn't drink any?" f'No, sir," she asseverated, "Be didn't see me drunk twice in the kitchen. More'n that, I got sent up for it, and that's all past and gone. That ain't got nothing to do with this case." Miss -Emma Cross, co-defendant, denied also the evidence of Mrs. Worth and Tommy Woodruff. This aroused Mrs. Worth's ex cessive ire. '"Squire," the complainant cried, "She's the greatest liar that was ever created. She ain't telling one word of truth. 1 want Jrou to make her stoD lying." "Oh, you don't tell no" lies," said Mis Cross with a look of ineffable scorn upon her features. "You ain't sober 'nuff to tell the trnthyou ain't," Mrs. Worth strode three heavy strides across the floor, laid her finger under Emma's nose, and hissed into Emma's face: "If I didn't have less in me than you, the land save me. 'Squire, they ain't no truth in her. Take her away. I'm tired listening to her; take her. away." Thereupon Bessie retired to a far corner with a Lawrence Bar rett strut, waving her right hand behind her in supreme disgust. The defendants were discharged, nnd Tnt Worth vows vengeance. .. OHIO SLACKWATER WANTED; Tbo Pittsburg Ceal Exchange Puts Itself Upon Record Strongly. The subject of the improvement of the Ohio river by the National Government was called up yesterday forenoon at the meeting of the Coal Exchange. Captain I. N. Bp ton, of the firm of Joseph Walton & Co., offered the following resolution, which was adopted without a dissenting vote: Whzbkas, Tho permanent improvement of f' f th mjnbfgd,BMUBtactarmjrjntrie of 'ittshurg. and be of lastiag-tenenT'HjatttHV tha unio will matesi&llr iffietthafi...iAnn... cities ana eitates Bordering upon its banks: therefore. Resolved, that In the furtherance ot this ob ject the Congress of the United States be urged to make a money appropriation to effect its im provement, and that oar Chamber of Com merce and all cities interested be desired to co operate in securing the desired legislation. Captain Bunton explained that the great object sought to be secured by the river operators waa the establishment, by dams, of a navigable condition of the Ohio river all the year around. He and other local residents actively interested in navigation are sanguine that favorable action will be taken during the coming session of Con gress. Nearly every member of Congress from all the territory drained by the Ohio, Mississippi and Missouri rivers, is pledged to support such action, looking to the im provement not only of the Ohio river, but of the rivers further to the west. The same grand central combination, pledged to tbe advancement of the work of the Intended waterways improvement, is expected to sup port mniuaiiy tne unio-iaKe JSrte and tne Hennepin Canal schemes.
