IN 11 FIERY SHOWER,
Hye Men Seriously Burned at
Spang's Steel Works.
ifl EXPLOSION OF METAL
Caused by Wet Clay on the Lower
Plate of the Iron Hold.
A SCEKB CREATED BY "WOMEN
An explosion occurred at Sparc's Steel
and Iron Works yesterday afternoon about 4
o'clock, which will result fatally. Five
men were caught in a shower of liquid steel,
and two are expected to die. The names of
the injured are:
Matt Rhime, ladle man. badly burned about
the body, arms and lower limbs. Tal.cn to
Allegheny General Hospital. He cannot
live.
Axbi-.rt Dreshkee. ladle man, slightly
scorched, the ineul burning his face and
arras.
Peter Osburx, pitman, badly burned about
his bodv, the metal almost cooking Ms flesh.
Grave fears are entertained for his recovery.
Jolts Abams, pitman, seriously burned about
his bodv and face.
Jamfs Grant, test boy, burned about the face
and legs. He will recover.
CAUSED HT WET CUAT.
The explosion was caused by wet fireclay
on the bottom plate, on which the mold
stands. When the hot metal was turned into
the mold about half full, the liquid mass
burst forth in the air and fell in fiery balls
on the men who were around the ladle.
Those who were caught in the liquid shower
rushed out into open nir screaming with
pain. Everything that human hands could
do to alleviate the sufferings of the men was
quickly done.
The news of the accident spread like wild
fire through the village. Doctors were soon
on the scene and rendered whatever services
they could to ease the agonies of the men.
"Women almost besieged the mill to learn if
their friends or relatives were caught in the
seething miss o! metal.
SOME TEARFUT. SCENES.
When Bhine's wife recognized him she
burst into tears, wringing her hands in de
spair, nutil the neighbors had to remove her
from the scene. Other women acted like
wise. When poor Grant's mother saw him
she clasped him in her arms and wept bit
terly.
Such a scene of sorrow has not been wit
nessed in the village of Etna for years.
Even strong men were moved to tears when
they saw their fellows, who but a few mo
ments before were strong and robust, lying
on the ground moaning with intense vain.
They turned away deathly sick lrom the
sight. The skin of Rhine was actually
roasting and crackling just as if he was be
ing slowly cooked belore a hot fire.
An inquiry was made last night at the
mill to ascertain the cause of the
accident. The Bessemer blower stated
that owing to the fire clay which
is laid on the bottom plate not having been
properly dried before the liquid metal was
poured into it, caused the explosion.
DET THEM WITH GAS.
He said when the molds were laid on top
of the plate the pitmen always turn gas
into the, mold to dry the fire clay.
It is evident, he said, that the gas was too
strong in the mold where the explosion
took place, the gas .merely drying the sur
iace of the fireclay. When the molten
metal was pured into the mold, the wet
fireclay and steam forced its way through
the metal, sending a fiery pillar into the
air which burst into a spray over the un
fortunate men.
The explosion was quiet and unexpected.
Kobody had time to get away from the
burning metal. In a moment the horrible
and possibly fatal accident was over.
The Spang Steel and Iron Company did
all they could to help the men, and it is re
ported that they will deal generously with
the friends of tieunfortunate men. A sub
scription will be immediately started among
the workmen for the benefit of the injured.
It is to be proportionately distributed ac
cording to the needs and "circumstances of
each.
DB. M'CLELLAND'S DESK KIFLED.
Two Visitors Secure Some Cash With a
Chisel.
About 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon two
well-dressed, gentlemanly looking youngmen
called at the office of the Drs. McClelland,
No. 411 Penn avenue, and asked the young
lady who admitted tbem to see Dr. J. H.
McClelland. They were informed that he
had just gone out, and it was not known
how soon he wonld return.
The strangers then said they were inti
mate friends of the doctor and wanted to
see him. If she would have no objections
they would sit in his office and wait.until
his return, as they lived out of the city and
had no place else'to go. The young lady in
vited them in, and they sat in the reception
room lor about half an hour, when, as
the young lady passed the door
in answering another ring at the
bell, one of the young men hailed
her, saying his friend was suffering from a
chill and would she be kind enough to take
him to a room where there was a fire. Al
though not suspicious of the two men the
young lady, instead of taking them to an
other room, placed a chair over the hot air
register in the hallway for the supposed
sick man.
She left them then and in a few minute;,
when she passed through the hall again, she
found they had disappeared. Looking into
the office" she saw the door leading to the
doctor's private office standing open. In
vestigation showed that the two visitors had
opened the doctor's desk with a chisel
which they left behind, and had rifled every
drawer in it, securing between 90 and $100
in cash.
The police were notified soon after and
given a description of the thieves,but up to
midnight had not captured them.

About 1 o'clock on Thursday morning
'Squire Boyle was on his way home from
the Orphans' tea party, and when at the
corner of Hickory alley and Western ave
nue he heard a suspicious noise in the liquor
store of Peter McGee, corner of Washington
street and Webster avenue.
'Squire Boyle notified Officers McCaffrey
and Wilkie, who, with several other officers,
surrounded the bnilding, and after awaken
ing Mr. McGee, began a search. In the
cellar a young man named Charles Gallagher
was found, who was trying to make his
escape through a coal hole. The prisoner
denied that there was anybody with him,
but Mr. McGee succeed in unearthing a

had buried himself under a pile of wood,
and over whom the officers walked several
times. The pair had gained an entrance by
jimmying a rear window. They were placed

The colored people who took such a
prominent part in raising funds for the

and acquitted for murder in South Carolina
a few months ago, still have a debt of $400
to pay, most of which is for the services of
Colonel Echols, who conducted the defense.

CHAIRMAN BEICE IN TOWN.
He Sara the Republicans Have No Tartu
Principles A Western Dicker to Beat
McKinley for Speaker.
Calvin S. Brice, of Ohio, Chairman of the
Democratic National Committee, passed
through the city last night on his way to
Washington. Mr. Brice is a, candidate for
the United States Senatorship from his
Sta'e, and spoke gloomily of the chances for
the success of the ticket. When approached
by a Dispatch reporter Mr. Brice was a
little shy at first, but unlimbered himself
under the influence of a good cigar and
said:
"It is needless for me to remark that the
result of the recent election in Ohio is giv
ing general satisfaction all over the country
and will have a general effect on all elec
tions. I cannot say that it will directly
affect the Presidental nominations, as they
are too far in the future. McKinley cannot
win the Speakership fight. Beed, of Maine,
will probably be the successful candidate
for the position, and his election, I think,
would give satisfaction. Burroughs, of
Michigan, is dickering with Beed. He has
promised to give the latter all the snpport
he can command, provided Beed will fight
for the World's Fair for Chicago. There
will be considerable discussion on the
tariff question, and the Republicans
will have to do something in this respect
Upon the tariff, the Republican party has
no principles. With them it is merely a
question of schedules. Their action in
placing sugar on the free list, and Louisiana
being a Democratic State clearly shows this.
McKinley is the only Republican who has
any tariff principles at all, and is the best
man the party has.
"The Democrats of Ohio are harmonious,
and will continue to remain so. Campbell's
victory shows this, and his election was en
tirely due to the lact that there was a spirit
oi unity. The Republicans, owing to their
recent defeats throughout the country, will
have to change their programme at this
session of Congress. It they continue in
their present course another avalanche will
strike them, and entirely bury them out of
sight."
General W. S. Brown, a well-known Be
publican lawyer of Washington, who had
been in the city for several days, left last
night for his home. In speaking of the
political situation he said: "The Repub
lican party is very much dissatisfied with
the methods pursued by President Harrison.
The leaders at the capital were very much
pnt out at bis action in regard to the Cnrean
mutiny business. Blaine does not stand
very high with the President, and they are
always wrangling. Mr. Harrison snubs him
on his preferences for offices, and allows his
son, Russell, to interfere,too much with the
administration of affairs of the State Depart
ment" POSTMASTER LAEKIN'S PLAXS.
U. 8. Mall Officials Confer With Him Abont
Pittsburg- Mail Service.
J. Lowrie Bell, of Washington, General
Superintendent of the Railway Mail Ser
vice, and A. .Burt, Superintendent of the
Fifth division of the service, with head
quarters in Cincinnati, were in the city yes
terday on business connected with the rail
way mail service. Postmaster Larkin, it
aDpears, has made an application to the de
partment to have the mails from the East
directed to Pittsburg divided on the mail
cars, before reaching this city, into batches
for the various carrier districts.
At present the Pittsburg mail comes to
this city in bulk, and must all be sorted in
the local office. It happens that the mails
from the East which are the heaviest re
ceived, are often late, and arrive about the
same time as the mails from other points.
The local force, which is small, is swamped.
The reform will probably require an increase
of the number of railway postal clerks.
During the afternoon Messrs. Bell and Burt
visited Postmaster Larkin. and talked with
him about the matter. Superintendent Bell
was not prepared to say what decision would
be made.
Mr. Bell departed last evening for the
West He is making a general tour of the
railway mail lines, and will go as far West
as Kansas City.
K0 TESTKI COMMITTEE.
Rev. Samuel Maxwell Says That He Was
Not Asked to Resign.
The trouble in Trinity parish seems as far
irom settlement as ever. To increase the
general perplexity, a rumor that the vestry
had appointed a committee of three to wait
upon the rector, Bev. Samuel Maxwell, and
ask his resignation, was started. For the
purpose of ascertaining the truth or falsity
of the rumor, a Dispatch reporter visited
Rev. Maxwell last night In answer to in
quiries, the reverend gentleman said.
"I have not been waited upon by a com
mittee from the vestry asking me to resign.
As for my not notifying the vestry that I
would not nominate the late Mr. Shoen
berger. 1 told the vestrymen that if I had
had the assurance that Mr. Shoenberger
could have been elected, I would have nom
inated him, and gladly. But how could he
have been elected? He was not a resident
of the parish, and therefore was disqualified
from holding the position. I have been
blamed as the cause of Mr. Shoenberger's
defeat I am not, as my nominating him
would not have insured his election."
The rector refused to speak further on the
subject, but left it to be inferred that he was
prepared to fight it out on that line if it
took all winter.
TESTING THE FIELD.
The Sewickley Dairy Companv Waiting the
Outcome of Two Wells.
The Sewickley Dairy Company held a
special meeting in the St Charles Hotel to
discuss a proposition to go into the oil and
gas business. The company owns a large
tract of land in the Sewickley valley, which
is along the line of recent oil" developments.
At present the company is boring two
wells, and they expect to bring them in
in about ten days.
The indications that they will strike it
rich are quite good, and at the meeting
yesterday it was decided to postpone the
matter until the wells had been put down
and the territory tested. Mr. Kidd Fleming
stated that concerning future developments
much depended on what could be obtained
in the line of favorable leases.
It was denied that the company intended
to abandon the dairy business. This branch
will be continued as in the past

A LARGE AUDIENCE LISTENS TO HIM
Rev. Dr. Edward McGlynn, recently rec
tor of St Stephen's Catholic Church in Sew
Tork, the great clerical apostle of Henry
George's theories, lectured in the Braddock
Opera House last evening on the theme
"How to Abolish Poverty."
The audience filled about two-thirds of
the house. It consisted of the middle class
of American men and women, as a rule, but
there were here and there men who were
plainly mill workers. The audience was
attentive and patient, for the address was
more than two hours long. Applause was
given at rare intervals, but there was little
opportunity for applause. The talk ran
alongsmoothlyandconnectedly,and there was
no apparent effort to produce a crisis where
applause might be expected.
Rev. L N. W. Irvine, of the Protestant
Episcopal Church, and Rdv. Dr. McGlynn
walked upon the stage together. Rev. Mr.
Irvine presented the lecturer in a few
eulogistic words. He said that when the
history of leaders of great movements was
written the lecturer would occupy therein
many paces. He was not a runaway from
the Roman Church, but a faithful adherent
to its faith. "He is not under any ban,"
said the presenter, "for any violation of its
faith or morals, but because he loves his
citizenship and true Catholicity better than
any system of politics from Italy."
THE DOCTOR WAS SALUTED.
When Dr. McGlynn smiled, and stepped
forward with a bow he was sainted with
generous applause. He is tall and rotund,
well rounded in body and limb, and
his fat cheeks depend upon his collar.
He wore a frock coat and a common
black tie. He deprecated the praise
of the gentleman who introduced
him, but acknowledged the truth of the
statement that he had no quarrel with the
Catholic religion. He said, "I am ready to
protest on every suitable occasion that I
have nothing bnt the profoundest reverence
for the creeds of the church, and tor those
holy sacraments that I believe Christ has
left" to his Christian ministry as food and
medicine for sick and weary souls. It would
be a pain for me to enter into any rehearsal
of the events to which my friend has
made reference. I shall content my
self with speaking on the subject
"How to Abolish Poverty.' Although some
desire has been expressed to hear me speak
on another subject, I have felt great re
luctance to sneak on that subject the com
mon schools, because it might irritate
where I have no desire to irritate. I have
treated that subject with frankness at home,
to my own friends, who perfectly under
stand my position. Concerning my lecture
here to-night the newspapers have said cer
tain things which I hope I am glad to say
I hope are untruthful; but because of what
thev have said I am all the more anxious to
avoid irritation."
This was the only allusion the speaker
made to the report that Rev. Father Hickey
had forbidden his parishioners to attend.
Dr. McGlynn then entered upon the sub
ject of the lecture. He spoke with a
mellifluous and steady voice, distinctly un
derstood by all. His gestures were few and
not vigorous. He expressed his varying
motives rather with the eyes and the mouth
than by his arms or hands. Sometimes,
when stating a ridiculous proposition, he
made a very grotesque countenance.
rOVEETT MOT GOD'S PLAIT.
He said that some good souls thought it
hlasphemons to attempt to do away with
poverty, considering it a necessary part
of God's plan. In the same way
people thought it a sacrilege to at
tempt to prevent smallpox by the use
of vaccination. "The abolition of poverty."
he said, "is a social question, closely con
nected with the problem of life. It is a
most momentous question for the welfare of
society, lor the maintenance or growth ot
civilization. It is closely connected with
the very essence of religion. It is essen
tially a religions Question. I am. bv choice.
by voluntary dedication and by sacerdotal'
consecration, a priest ot the Christian
chnrch, a preacher of Christ's truths to man.
I assure you that I stand just where I stand
not in spite of my religion, but because of
my religion. I have always believed that
nothing can be more in keeping with the
genial character of the Christian priesthood
than to be solicitous for the sufferings of
the masses of men, of the poor and the out
cast. Nothing can be worthier for a minis
ter of Christ than to have in his heart and
on his lips the thonght and the words of the
Master when he said, 'I feel compassion for
the multitude lest they should grow faint
by the wayside.' "
'"We wage war against poverty because
we are convinced that the involuntary
poverty in the world, and the vice and crime
flowing from poverty, are the result not of
the law of God but of a violation of God's
law. Poverty is, indeed, a fruitful source
of irreligion.
DENYIKG EIGHTS OP MEX.
"The involuntary poverty which arises
from the inability of men to employ them
selves, or when employed to obtain an ade
quate reward, is the result of denying to
men in practice the enjoyment of those
rights declared by the Declaration of Inde
pendence to be theirs inalienably and by the
gilt of the Creator. The question resolves
itself into the religious question, 'as to the
mystery of man's existence here and bis des
tiny hereafter. The preamble to the Dec
laration of Independence is a profession of
religion.since it bases therights of man upon
a gift of the Creator. The basis is the
fatherhood of God and the brotherhood
of man. That is the essence of all religion.
From the fatherhood of God flowall the great
truths that shall serve to redeem mankind
from his slavery, that shall make possible
the prophecies of the seers of Israel and ot
the best men of all the ages, when the world
shall enjoy perfect peace and perfect justice,
when, in the words of the most giftedof our
poets, man shall govern himself in the
parliament ot man."
After speaking of the injustice and crime
of slavery, and of the changes wrought by
time in the views men hold on that subject,
he proceeded:
"All men have equal right to life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness. The pursuit
oi happiness means the gratifying of our
necessary wants, not merely bodily wants,
but mental, moral and spiritual. God has
given us these bodily, mental and spiritual
faculties and needs, and we have eqnal
right to gratify and cultivate them. How
shall that be done?
"Labor is the essential condition for
doing that The Father has placed us in
this storehouse, where, by diligent study,
we are to decipher His handwriting. This
workshop is abundantly supplied with all
manner of material, so that we are enabled,
by the proper use ol these materials, to rise
from the finite to the infinite, from the
creature to the Creator. Labor is God's
law. It is not merely a right; it is a duty.
A BROAD VIEW" OF LABOB.
"Labor is not to be restricted in its
definition to the coarser kind of muscular
exertion. We mnst broaden the view, so
that it shall take in the exertion of whatso
ever energy of mind or muscle, of brain or
brawn, that does or produces or brings
about something that is useful to. the bodily,
mental, moral or spiritual wants of men.
The man is the nobler worker in proportion
to the dignity of the want to which he
ministers. In'that sense, the whole human
family should be composed of workers.
"TJnfortuuately mankind is divided into
three classes working men, beggar men
and thieves. Everybody ought to be con
tributing something to-the world for the
living he gets out cut. It should be a re
EHE PITTSBURG DISPATCH. T
proach to any man to live a life of mnt
idleness. We do not wish to kill off any
body. We merely want to convert the beg
gars and thieves into useful members of the
Commonwealth. The worst of the thieves
are those who possess the largest shares of
the world's wealth. 'They toil not, neither
do they spin; and yet Solomon in all his
glory was not arrayed like one of these.' "
Man, Dr. McGlvnn said, was essentially
aland animal. He cannot live withont
land, and men have an equal' right to those
natural bounties which are the gift of the
Creator, sunlight, air, water and land.
Ownership rightfully belongs only to that
which man produces by his labor. No man
made the land, 'and therefore no man ought
to own it It is.a gift of God to the entire
race. Dr. McGlynn said that commerce,
the building of cities, and other conditions,
give certain land a fictitious value,
beyond its inherent value. That is the
rental value, and that rental ought to be
turned into the pnblic treasury. The land
is by God's gift the property of the commu
nity, and it is in great cities, in addition,
the property of the community because the
growth and activity of the community has
given it the increased value. It was only
Just, he said, that all its rental should go to
the community. Dr. McGlynn proceeded to
illustrate how such a system of taxation
would compel the idle millionaire to work,
would increase the opportunities for em
ployment, would save much of the returns
to laborers, and would bless the whole com
munity. A MARKET STREET HOTEL.
J. K. Darr Moving Actively Id Re-Ettab-lishlnc
Himself A Bis Purchase From
the Schenley Estate.
Market street is to have a hotel. J. K.
Durr has purchased the property No. 400
Market street, on which he is heiwlocated,
and the adjoining property; l'fcn.Jta,'f from
the Schenley estate, for $55,000. It is the
intention to remodel the building in the
spring, making a five-story structure.
The place formerly occupied by John
Stroup has also been purchased, and the
new building will extend over the entire
property.
The new building wil have two store
rooms on the first floor, fronting on Market
street The one on the corner of Fourth
avenue will be used as a wholesale and re
tail cigar store. There will be a restaurant
next door, with the entrance to the hotel be
tween. The bar will be in the rear, front
ingtm Fourth avenue. On the second floor
will be located the omces and a large dining
room. There will be 150 rooms in the build
ing for the accommodation of patrons, and
the hotel will be run on the European plan.
The improvements will cost 530,000.
The same rules will be observed in con
ducting the hotel as govern Green's Hotel
in Philadelphia. It will be known as
D hit's Hotel.
There is considerable stir just now in real
estate. Several bids have been offered for
the Government property on Fifth avenue.
The Guskys have offered $500,000 for it
There is also an effort being made by several
parties to secure the Splane property on the
opposite corner, the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company being among the number. It is
supposed the latter desires the property for
depot purposes, as there have been several
reports about their desire to reach the center
of the city so as to be able to compete with
the traction roads for East End traffic.
WHAT CAN BE DONE WITH HIM?
A Man Whom the Workhonsr, the Jail and
lbs Poor Farm Reject.
Inspector McAleese last night! had a
problem which would puzzle any man to
solve, what to do with a man that nobody
will have. William Kunzer, aged 77, was
arrested yesterday morning for being drunk.
The number of timeswhich Mr. Kunzer has
been arrested on the same complaint will
average abont four times a year in the last
30 years, and the authorities of the various
institutions are reluctant to take Mr. Kun
zer on any terms.
The Inspector reviewed the situation and
said: "The man is too old and useless to
anybody, and nobody wants him, antVwhat
we are to do with him is something beyond
my knowledge. I think some place should
be" found for such people where they could
be kept without giving trouble to the Police
Bureau and the great question is what shall
we do with snch a man?"

A postmortem was held yesterday on the
body of Patrick Reynolds, who died at the
Homeopathic Hospital on Wednesday from
injuries received by jumping out of a win
dow at his home, 401 Carson street, while
insane through sickness.
The postmortem was ordered by Coroner
McDowell on account of the differences of
ODinion of the hospital authorities and
Reynolds' physician. The latter was Dr.
J. B. Grimes, of the Southside, who stated
that Reynolds had been suffering from
malaria and indigestion, while the hospital
authorities said he had typhoid fever. The
Coroner will hold an inquest on Monday,
when the result of the postmortem will be
made known.

H. I. Gourley was injured veryserionsly
on the tracks of the Allegheny Valley road
on Wednesday evening while trying to cross
a freight train which was being made up.
Although no bones were broken the injury
to the sinews of his limbs were so severe as
to make it probable that he will be confined
to his house for over a month.
This is regarded by his friends in the
Mayoralty contest as being particularly un
fortunate at this juncture on account of the
accident necessarily interfering with an
active personal canvass. Mr. Gourley is the
recipient of much sympathy.

trict Attorney Lyon said: "The first thine
to be done is to file a precipe with the Clerk
of the United Stales Circuit Court. In this
case it will be before Commissioner Mc
Candless and will be under the new pro
cedure act. This provides for a fine of
51,000 to be recovered as a debt againt the
parties in favor of the United
States. This case will be like any
otber civil suit to recover a sum of money.
If these men, Gaffney and Ford, were
brought here in the manner they state in
their affidavits then there is no question but
that the parties who brought them here owe
the Government 1,000 for each case. After
the precipe has been entered the Marshal
goes out and serves notice upon the de
fendants. The latter are then given 30 days
to make an appearance. If they do not en
ter an appearance within the prescribed
time, the judgment will be entered against
them by default. The case will go on the
trial list and will wind up the same as any
ordinary civil proceeding."
-.suppose ii Diicter or Campbell is un
able to pay the amount what would be
done?"
"In that case Chambers & McKeee would
have to pay the whole amount. The four
men were partners in the matter and like
the debts of any concern, one partner is
liable for the contracts of another. The
men cannot be imprisoned as the law does
not allow that. The test case is to be made
against Ford in order to ascertain if we have
enough evidence to proceed in all the
cases."
Iff A FIGHTISG MOOD.
Sir. Callaghan Tells Why He Hoed Pow
derly, Byroo and Wise.
This telegram came from Scottdale last
night:
Considerable Interest is being manifested
here as to the outcome of the suit brought by
Hon. Edward Uallachan airalnst T. V. Pow
der!-, Hon. John R. Byrne and Peter Wise for
conspiracy. Mr. Callaghan. when asked for a
statement as to his reasons for bringing tne
suit, said:
In June, 1SSS, I was a candidate for Btate
Senator on the Democratic ticket. A few days
before the election Hon. J. it. Byrne circulated
a report that I had, In a communication ad
dressed to General Master Workman Pow
derly, called the latter a vile name. Thereport
flew over the country like wild-fire, and as I
was a member of the K. of L. in good stand
ing, I was denounced in the local assemblies.
I was defeated, of course, and then tnrned my
attention to business. Early in the month of
August John R. Byrne called at my store, and
showed me the Journal of United Labor
wherein Powderly denounced me, claiming that
it was a vindication of himself. I stated that I
was done politically, and now wanted to be let
alone to attend to mr basinets. Peter Wise.
Who was present, said: "No, we will boycott fl
you; we win ruin yon in easiness." x ordered
Wise out. A few days later Wise came Into
the front part of the store, which I had rented
to a clothing firm, and asked if I received any
benefit from the sales of thai Pt of the store.
On receiving anafflrmative reply he stated that
a boycott had been ordered on me. and that if
the clothing man was wise he would get out as
soon as possible, which he did.
Mr. Callaghan says that he will push the
matter to .the end, and that he has plenty of
evidence against the parties charged.
INDIANA MINEBS STARTING,
And Said to be Ready to Beinae Work In
Sheer Desperation.
The report that appeared in a morning
cotemporary yesterday to the effect that the
striking miners at Brazil, Ind., after assem
bly in mass meeting, had decided to return
to work at the operators' rates, is at least
premature. No meeting has yet taken
place, but a mass meeting of the miners will
be held this evening to consider what steps
should be taken in the present extreme con
ditions ot affairs. It is said that the men
are nearly at starvation point, and are
weakening in their opposition through lack
of support.
The first of the four entertainments given
under the auspices of L. A. 4907, K. of L.,
salesmen, in aid of the miners, came off last
evening, when a number of sympathizers
filled the Cyclorama building, Allegheny,
to witness the Battle of Gettysburg. The
exhibition will be continued to-night, to
morrow and on Monday evenings.
BOTTLE PBICES AD7ANCED.
The Glass lUnnnfnctarers Decide Upon an
Increase In Rales.
Thomas Wightman, the well-known glass
manufacturer of this city, and Yice Presi
dent of the Western Flint Bottle Associa
tion, returned yesterday from Cincinnati.
where he had been in attendance upon the
meeting of the association at that place
some days ago. The only business of im
portance transacted at the meeting was an
advance on the prices on flint bottles and
vials.
A resolution was passed that all prices
and quotations now in effect be withdrawn
and new quotations made. The cause of
the advance is on account of the advance in
the prices of raw material. Among the
other Pittsburgers present at the meeting
were Joseph S. Hamilton, President pf the
association, and representatives from the
firms of Tibley Bros, and McCnlly& Co.
One of them stated that his firm had orders
on their books that could not be filled for
two months.
NO NEW INDTJSTBI.
Mr. Ford's Application for 50 Alien Work
men Was Denied.
A telegram was received from Washington
last night that Mr. Edward Ford, President
of the Pittsburg Plate Glass Company.recent
ly wrote to the Treasury Department to the
effect that SO skilled laborers were required
to keep their plant in. operation, and that as
this was a new industry in this country, it
was necessary to obtain the laborers from
abroad. He desired to be informed before
taking action in the matter if the importa
tion of the required laborers would be per
mitted. Acting Secretary Batcheller to-day-informed
him that he did not see how it
could be done, inasmuch as the alien con
tract labor law is absolute on the subject
and must be enforced, adding that as plate
glass has been manufactured in this country
for over 20 years it could hardly be regarded
as a new industry.
An Eight-Hoar Meeting.

AMALGAMATION OF THE H0LDEBS.
The Order Which Will Absorb the Otbera
to Be Balloted For.
The committees of the three molders' or
ganizations will meet at Knights of Labor
Hall this evening to concert measures for
amalgamation. It Is said that a ballot will
be taken of the whole body as to which
organization will absorb the other two.
There is a probability of the Australian
system of voting being adopted, as its opera
tion is regarded with favor by those con
cerned. EET. I. N. HAIS NOT CALLED.
And If Ho Were, Ho Would Not ba Able to
Accept for Home Time.
Rev. L N. Hays, whose resignation as
pastor of the Central Presbyterian Church,
of Allegheny, has been accepted, denies the
report that he has received a call from the
McClure Avenue Presbyterian Church, of
Allegheny. Dr. Hays told a Dispatch
reporter some time ago that he had received
several offers of pulpit, but would not tell
from which churches the offers came. He
said last night, however, that the McClure
Avenue Church was not one of the number.
So far as accepting a call is. concerned,
Dr. Hays cannot accept one from any
church until the pastoral relations between
him and his present congregation are dis
solved. As has been repeatedlv published
in The Dispatch, the Presbytery will
meet on the second Tuesday of December,
when action will be taken on the resigna
tion. If it is decided to .dissolve the pas
toral relations, the dissolution may be
ordered to take effect immediately, or it may
be postponed until the end of the year.
Then, and not till then, will Dj. Hays be
able to accept & call.

S. P. Hill, aa old telegraph operator, who
has been stationed st the Central Hotel,
Allegheny, for a nnmber of years, committed
suicide yesterday morning abont 5 o'clock
by shooting himself through the head. The
weapon used was a 32-caliber revolver, and
death was instantaneous.
Hill, who was an expert operator, was a
victim of the morphia and liquor.habit, and
has been a meze physical wreck for some
years. He was also an inveterate smoker
of cigarettes, the little paper-wrapped
rolls ot tobacco being scarcely ever out of
his mouth. Some time ago ho lost his posi
tion, and this, coupled with his bad habits,
brought on a melancholia from which he
never recovered. According to a story told
or wnanes hkk, Dariceeper m the Central
Hotel saloon, Hill was in there Tuesday
night. He was not exactly drunk, but
there was a wild look in his eyes, and he
seemed restless and ill at ease. Mr. Frank
McCoy, proprietor of the hotel, came into
the saloon, when. Hill crossed over to
him, and, making a motion to draw a re
volver, threatened to kill hira. The bar
keeper thereupon ejected Hill. Mr. McCoy
also says that Hill often threatened in the
past to kill himself.
The suicide was committed in a room on
the second floor of No. SO North Diamond
street, next door to the Central HoteL The
deceased was abont 46 years of age, and lelt
a widow and one daughter, who is married.
The preliminary inquest was held yesterday
afternoon. The final inquest will be held
to-day.
SOME LEGAL AMENITIES.

The legal fraternity is discussing with

Smith murder trial: During the address of
District Attorney Porter to the juryThomas
M. Marshall, Esq,, who had gone out of
court after finishing his address, re-entered
the court room, and walking over to Gen
eral Blakely, who was sitting at the counsel
table, whispered to him in a tone lond
enough to be heard by all the jurymen: "Is
he affecting the jury at all? I don't think
he is." Mr. Porter appealed to Judge
White, asking him to stop Mr. Marshall.
The latter then walked over near the jury
box and subsided.

a reporter tried to learn just what opinions

"Of conrse'thelawsllowseorporalpunisB
