'Some Politicians in Step "With the Season. : MAS! THOUGHTS ARE EEFLEXED. The fact that next Thursday -will be .Thanksgiving Day, if it does not rain, as any intermediate day would be under simi lar circumstances, was brought to the at tention of the general public yesterday by The Dispatch reporters. As the Presi dent has decided in faror of Thursday, and the Governors or the various States, irre spective of age, sex or previous condition of politics, annually agree with the National Executive, probably for the first time in some of their lives, the date was put before the citizens generally with the request that any data which they possessed lor basing thankfulness upon might be produced. "I'm thankful I'm livm was almostthe universal response with a number of variations given below. W. A. Magee X am thankful to be a resident of a city, of which the residents are apparently awakening to a public spirited feeling, which prompts them to study the general good and help it in proportion to their means. J. H. Shoenberger and Mrs. Scheoley certainly furnish examples to lol low which would be an honor to both the individual and the city. "William Elinn I suppose I ought to be thankful that 1 have good health, and that 1 have not been named as a candidate for the Mayoralty. The surface indications of my own cand"idacy are also cause for grati tude to my friends Philip Hoerr I believe that I'm thank ful I'm alive. You know that from the nature ot things I can't do very much kick ing, anyhow; a fellow can't use one leg unless he has another to stand on. I have no foundation for kicking, and consequently I am grateful. A. C. Robertson Thankful 1 1 should say I am. The free bridge question is again be fore the public, and I want to have permis sion to walk from the First ward to the Thirty-filth without being compelled to pay for the privilege of exercising my legs. That will make everybody thankful when the chance is afforded. THT HE GIVES THANKS. George Browne, Superintendent of the Wafer Bureau I don't know yet, but I am pretty sure I will be thankful if the basin shows up fnll on Monday next, although I don't want anybody to consider that this is a chance for any other portion of the ad juncts of the waterworks to get full. S. A, DuBPan, Councilman of the Thir teenth ward That depends. I am some what thankful under some circumstances. X am permitted to exist as one of them, but whatever the general public has any cause for gratitude in that fact I don't know. I am thankful that the Thirteenth ward is securing some improvements, and I shall be still more thankful when the Central Traction road commences to run. Assistant Brhlding Inspector Captain I. A. A. Brown was thanklul that no disasters from falling buildings or fire escape casual ities had occurred since Jnly 1. Henry P. Ford was thankful for good health, and his home of thankfulness will be furnished with au extension of the latest style, mansard roof, hot and cold water and accompaniments when he is the re-cipient-of the postmastership. E. M. Bigelow I am exceedinglv grate ful that the Lord has given me good heath, and for the lastver bled me to make the paths pleasant. X feel also a vict. lness on the part of our citizens to -nt donors ot such generous gifts to the-...,. E. S. Morrow Yes, I have reason to be thankfal'for my health, and for the numer ous good things received not deserved, but given me. I am thanklul for the prosperity of the city, and that the hearts of some have been opened to give of their plenty for the benefit of the citizens. MB. FOBD IS WAITING. W. XL Ford, Delinquent Tax Collector lam exceedingly thaueful that I had no money deposited iu the Lawrence Bank. There was a man who may not be so thank ful, however, who paid over $300 into. my office about noon on Thursday for taxes. The check was on the Lawrence Bank, and returned protested when I sent it to the de .pository. Major J. F. Denniston Thankfull I should say X am. "Why shouldn't I be, with one toot in the grave, and the other just as lively as a three-year-old, with lots of fun going on, and a great big dog about two months old keeping me awake nights by running up and down stairs. Thanklul, you bet. Frank Darriogton, of the Treasurer's office I dunno about the fact whether I ought to be thankful or not I suppose I might be. My family ain't any bigger and my grub isn't any smaller than it was last year, so thanks will go. Coroner McDowell I am certainly very grateful to my friends and the "boys" gener ally for the manner in which they stood my friends during the last election. " "With the obvious objection to getting in "the soup," which every man who runs for office has, I feel the services rendered me the more keenly as the opposition appeared to be so strong. Yes, I am very grateful to my -friends. Chief Brown, of the Department of Pub lic Safety, was not in the city yesterday, and is, without any doubt, thankful that he escaped the interviewer, so his cause for gratitude is on record anyway. A SWianiEB TEOM THE E. E. George McCutcheon, the Meat and Milk Inspector, said in the first place that he was thankful he could swim, in view of the con dition of the East End streets, and if he had to travel around with a cork belt buckled around him and a life preserver on each arm he was satisfied that tbe number of lump jawed cattle supplied for food was much smaller than it was a year ago. He thought also that, notwithstanding the heavy fall of rain recently, the milk would be found tretr rrom water thau it was when he opened war on the adulteration of milk. This, he said, he was thankful for and was sure he would be backed in the thankfulness of every mother in the country and every baby in the city. Roger O'Mara, Assistant Superintendent of Police, said he would be thankful il he found his children well on Thanksgiving Day, as, according to medical opinions, that would be the turning point of their afflic tion. Mr. O'Mara's family has been suffer ing from diphtheria for some weeks. Captain Beed, of the Central police sta tion : "I am thankful that I have got so far through this wicked world, and am still preserved to do my duty. I am thankful that the city is is Euch good shape that a check is kept upon habitual criminals such as places them-in letter restriction. I may live many-years yet to conduct affairs, and I am thankful in advance for that." Inspector McAleese thought it would be better to be thankful for haVyjg the First ward cleaned out without the Police Bureau being put to unnecessary expense and trouble, but seemed to shake a grain or two of salt over the purification process. POLITICIANS ADD OPINION'S. H. P. Ford I shall be thankful if I get the Pittsburg postmastership. James S. McKean Senator Quay is doubtless thankful that he landed that Phil adelphia Surveyor of the Portship. Mr. "Walters, of Chester, does not appear to have made a permanent hit by requesting that the Pennsylvania delegation be polled at the Chicago Convention. H. L Courier I shall be thankfoljf my strained leg will get well, and give me a chance to get about in my Mayoralty can vass. John B. Larkin I am thankfnl that my entire term will be completed, as it is a graceful thing for the administration to show consideration for a public servant who has at least tried to do his whole and complete duty while in office. OTHEB THANKFUL MOBTAXS. Superintendent of Mails Stephen Collins X haven't much to be, thankful for. You know the department decreased my sal ary, and X have no reason to be thankful, unless it is because X was not relieved en tirely. Eddie Morris You can say that I am thankfnl because I know the Brotherhood will be a success; because my ann is iu ele gant shape, and I am going to pitch good bftl next vear. J. F.

AMONG WORKMEN. They Return Tbnnks for n Year's Steady and Prosperous Work. A number of men were seen yesterday among the mills to find out what they had to be thankful Tor. The Black Diamond Steel "Works was visited as a likely place to get a general idea about what the work ingmen thought of Thanksgiving Day. Mr. Tom Carrier, Superintendent of the open hearth department, said: "The most conspicnous thing that X have to be thankful for is that every applicant for employment in my department for the past two months has obtained work. Be cause this ho 8 been the case it makes me ex tremely crateful, and I mean to appropri ately celebrate it on the day appointed. Another thing for which I will render thanks, is that in the slaughter of convivial resorts 93. were left where a man can repair his lost energies after a hard day's work by a 'deep draught of good Rhine wine.'" Mr. David Murphy, a steel melter, said that he offered up thanks because he had had ten months' straight work in the past year.

The boy said that his father's name was John Freed, 46 years old, and that he had a wife " and five children living in the shanty boat He had been employed at Long & Co.'s mill before the suspension. Friday afternoon John Freed and a man whose first name is "George," but who is otherwise unknown, had been drinking heavily, and had pat out for Alle gheny in the skiff, stating that they would return in the evening. That was "the last seen of Freed, and his family are positive that he was one of the men. Captain "Woods stated that he is not$ pos itive that there were only two men in the boat The search for the bodies of the drowned men was continued yesterday, but to no avail. In the "West End yesterday a large num ber of persons were named as having been the persons drowned, but all of those named showed up, and satisfied everyone that they were still with the living. A F1EE DOWN TOWN. A Slight Bin ze nt 811 Liberty Streot Caused Excitement. A fire in the manufacturing department of J. Klees' clothing house, 811 Liberty street, at 10:45 last night, caused an alarm from box 23. The fire was confined to a lot of newly made Kentucky jean pants, and its origin is not ktewn, but is supposed to have been caused by a match being carelessly thrown among them. The loss will be cov ered by $100. Great excitement was caused downtown by assertions telephoned throughout the city that the Academy of Music was burning down. OYERDKEW HIS ACCOUNT.

Master Workman Ross Returns From Delegate to District Duty AND REFERS TO THE EXPULSIONS. Two Hundred and Fifty of Long fc Co.'s Men "Waiting for Three Weeks' Pay. EEPOETS OP INTEREST TO WORKERS Mr. T. N. Boss, Master "Workman of Dis trict 3, Knights of Labor, returned from Atlanta last evening. Speaking of the proceedings of the convention, Mr. Boss said: "It was the best conducted General Assembly ever held; everything was in per fect harmony. It was a strictly Knights of Labor conference, and it was remarked by old time delegates that they had never been present at a more thoroughly business-like and orderly conducted Assmbly. A new feature introduced was that the proceedings of the previous day were lurnished to each delegate next morning." "What is the condition of the order?" "Flourishing, and improving day by day. The.membership was increasing from April to July, and the reports sent in to the Gen eral office since then show a continual in crease. A good many of the locals that had lapsed were making diligent inquiry into the best means of getting back into the order again." "What about the Callaghan conspiracy case?" ''I was talking with Mr. Powderly about it on Thursday, and he said that he did not know what it was about, but would inquire about it when he got back. I myself don't know anything about it, but imagine that there is very little in it Mr. Powderly, anyhow, is not worried over it." "What action was taken in Evans' case?" "As far as Joseph Evans' case is con cerned it was referred to the Executive Board at my request, as he was not there to defend himself. I asked that the cases would be treated separately for this reason, and because McGaw had the floor to make his own defense. McGaw's expulsion was due solely to his maligning and stigmatiz ing the officers of the General Assembly, and for general unworthiness, and not at all in consequence of the part he took in the Jeannette importation case. The matttr of McGaw's connection with this case was brought up by James Campbell, but the evidence produced was not of such a nature as to have influenced his expulsiou; at least that is my opinion." "How about John M. Kelly and "William McAuliffe?" "Mr. Kelly's case was brought up, and on a point of order was re 1 erred to the General Executive Board for action. It was not dis cussed in the assembly. X have every confidence in the board doing what is just and right in the matter. William Mc Auliffe's case was not referred to in any way. LOCALS LACKING IN SIMPATfll. Knights of Labor Do Not All Agree as to Honoring Armstrong. In labor circles yesterday there was no little comment made on the lack of sym pathy with the Armstrong celebration, which was apparent in certain locals of the Knights of Labor. It was said that over 1,600 Knights would be absent from the par ade, and while about 800 of them, compris ing the street car men, mixers and teasers and salesmen could not, by nature of their employment, turn out, there was no reason why the remainder should not make a show ing.. The warehousemen, who number about 200, have no legitimate excuse for absenting themselves, and the teamsters, comprising about a similar number, have elected to act the role of spectators instead of swelling the ranks of tbe procession. The tube workers also, could as easily turn out as other mill hands. The Knights of Labor ranks, including these deflections from its strength, will be further reduced by those of its members who will march in the Veteran Legion, the Amalgamated molders, and others. Com ment is made on the fact of these locals re fusing to parade when such strong delega tions are coming on from Kittanning, But ler and other points. LONG'S MEN WITDOTjr PAT. The Firm Owes Them for Three Weeks' Work, Amounting to $7,000. There was a considerable deal of dis cussion, and no little inconvenience ex perienced id Chartiers yesterday in conse quence of Long & Co.'s shutdown. The men had been looking forward to receiving the two weeks' pay, and in addition, the 'lying' week, or week held back by the firm after the usual custom, but when 5 o'clock arrived intimation was made thai no payments would be made. The firm employed about 250 men, distributed around the 19 puddling furnaces, the bar mill and guide mill, the forge and outdoor departments, and the pay sheet would have reached thetotalof eloseoi $7,000. AH the departments, with the ex ception of tho forge, were running double. A meeting of the employes will be held on Monday, at Chartiers, to consider what action should be taken in tbe matter. THE RESULT flOT O0WN. It Is Tboncbt Patrick Clcary Will Succeed President Campbell. Secretary George L. Cake, of the Window Glass Workers' Association, said last night that he knew of no new developments in tbe case of President Campbell and William Slicker. He had no information as to when Mr. Campbell would be home. It was reported yesterday that the result of the vote for a successor to President Campbell had been announced at the meet ing of L. A. 300 on Friday night, but Sec retary Cake denied the report last night The voting sheets were only sent ont last night, and the varions local assemblies have not had time to send in their votes yet.

Two children of Dr. Bobertson, of Hazel wood, were lost down town yesterday through the customary greed for knowledge dis played by youngsters. The two boys were driven down with an elder brother to get a ride about 250 P. M. yesterday. The col ored driver stopped at Gusky's store to get a parcel, and while he was in the two little ones attempted an exploration of the neigh borhood, which they evidently succeeded in accomplishing. When the driver returned to the carriage he missed the two children, and notified the police of the missing boys' absence. The grandfather ot the missing boys. W. J. Lewis, proprietor of the Lewis Block, on the corner of Smithfield street and Sixth avenue, called at the Central sta tion, and offered a large reward for the re turn of the children. About 5 P. M. they were recovered, and as one was only about 5 years of age, and the other 4, it was not difficult to eflect the recovery. The parents were alarmed about the dis appearance of the children, and the grand parent, Mr. Lewis, of Hazelwood, was the most active in getting the boys back to their home, as at first it was thought the chil dren had been kidnaped. The driver of Dr. Robertson's wagon drove back with profuse apologies, but the capture of the boys, who had simply gone out to take a walk, was done in the simplest manner possible, and tbe police are now in expecta tion of the ample rewards offered during the afternoon. 0DR NATITE HEATH. It Keeps Up Its Late .Reputation as an Oleaginous Gusher. Allegheny county oil territory isn't doing badly as a surplus sustainer. The Arbuckle Jamison well, without any further drilling, still does 300 barrels a day, and it is only drilled merely through the crust of the sand. The well on David Keel's farm, at Horseshoe Bend, on the Perrysvilleroad, is giving both gas and oil, but not much of either so far. It is expected to make an oil well when finished. The Davis, on the Steubenville pike, is still holding forth at a 28-barrel-an-hour gait, and promises to last as long as the Ar buckle south of it Missionary No. 2 on the Cope farm, Duff City, is flowing 15 barrels au hour. Mis sionary No. 1, 500 feet distanf, is only a small "pumper, but her neighbor has done much to restore the credit of the field, which was considerably depressed a day or two previously. In the same field Hite, Bren nan & Co.'s No. 5, on the Sam Bonner farm, same field,.is eight feet in sand and filled with grease. It is not expected to be large. The Fergnson well, in the Shannopin field, owned by Boggs & Mecklin, and the Keely No. 4, on the Beagle farm, same field, are each making 400 barrels a day. Hukill's No. 1, on the D. Wise farm, Mt Morris, is still putting out 600 barrels a day, and three or four more of Hukill's wells in that field are due this week. AK ITALIAN CflDRCH.

The committee consisted of Alexander Wil3on, of Wilson Bros., C. F. Schrader, the tailor, and H. S. Stevens, the artist and was appointed by Chairman A.

Itwill be erected in North Park, opposite Webster street, with the horse's head directed toward Sherman avenue. This will make the statue to be apparently looking directly at the greenhouse. If the model is correctly imitated, the statue will be a great work of art The drapery about the uniform is well executed. Tbe anatomical appearance of the horse is perfect Mr. Pauseh, who has already gained a wide reputation as a sculptor, will make the effort of his life in portraying the features of the immortal Father o his Country. The Monumental Committee has raised $7,000 of the fund necessary to pay for the statue. On Monday 82,500 will be paid to A. E. Windsor & Co., granite cutters of West End avenue, Allegheny, who have se cured the contract for the erection of the monument MORE MONEY NEEDED.

A building will be erected especially for the purpose on the site of the old South Common M.E. Church, on Church avenue. The movement to erect a Washington Monument in the parks originated in June, 1886 throueh a suggestion made by Council man Henry P. Staving, of the Tnird ward, Allegheny, who is a prominent member ot the order, The suggestion was acted upon immediately, and in July of the same year a committee of three members from each of the 11 councils in Allegheny met in Com mon Council Chamber. 'A. S. Smith, of Young & Smith, was made the Permanent Chairman of the committee. The first thing to do was to secure the consent of the Park Committee to allow the monument to be placed in the parks. This was cheerfully given.

A PARK AROUND ST. MARGARET'S Mr. C. L. Fitzhugh, a member of Trinity Protestant Episcopal Church, whose wife is s niece of Mr. Shoenberger's first wife, was called upon yesterday evening concerning the iron master's bequests. Mr. Fitzhugh was asked: a "Have yoa seen what The Dispatch published exclusively this morning con cerning Mr. Shoenberger's will?" "X have." was the reply, "and I think you gave all that is of interest to the public The details and conditions of those bequests and the vrivate legacies I do not know. The matter is in the hands of Mr. Shoenberger's relatives in New York, but the entire matter will be made public in a short time, when the will is probated. Mr. Shoenberger, as all know, left no children, and his private legacies are to relatives. Such matters can ftardly interest the public?" 'Do you know what is the name specified for the hospital on Penn avenue?" "It is to be called St Margaret's Hos pital. Mr. Shoenberger's first wife was Miss Margaret Cust, of Greensbnrg. She died, I think, in 1878." "How is. the bequest to Trinity Church to be invested?" "The capital, 100,000, will be placed in the hands of the trustees of the church, the Interest only to be used for the benefit ot the church. I think the conditions of the bequest will be accepted by the church. That matter, of course, rests with the vestry men." SO CHANGE UNTIL EASTEE. Another member of Trinity Church ex piessed the opinion that the conditions would be accepted by the vestry. The pews have been rented until next Easter, and no change can be made before that time. The rental from the pews is not as large as would appear to one unacquainted with the facts, and some of the members have for a time been dissatisfied with the system. On the other hand, it is suggested that there will be a very strong opposition from some of the oldest families in the parish to the free seat system. Quite a number of the best pew holders in the church would feel, it is said, that the adoption of the new plan would-be almost equivalent to a severance of their connection with Trinity. An effort was made to see Bev, Mr. Max well, tbe rector, but he was not at home. The vestrymen are reluctant to express an opinion, desiring to learn the feeling of the members before taking action in the matter. They will, at any rate, await a full copy of the will. The eight acres of land on Penn Avenne upon which the St Margaret Hospital will be erected form very desirable blocks of property and offer many natural advant ages for the carrying' out of the details of tbe plan. An intimate friend of Mr. Shoenberger who was seen yesterday stated that the iron master bad had tbe idea of a magnificent hospital in bis mind for a good many years. A PABK ADJT7HCT. "One of Mr.tShoenberger's criticisms," said this gentleman, upoi the usual hos pital was, that there was no chance for nature to plar her part in the restoration to health ot. afflicted humanity, nothing but bare walls) bleak hillsides or uninviting roofs, things not calculated to cheer the iaded eves or instill hope. Fresh air and nature were two things Mr. Shoenberg him self believed in, and X ara sure he bore this in mind in arranging the details of St Margaret's. I think that there will be minute instructions in regard to the beautifying of the entire tract in order that, the hospital shall have the handsomest nat ural surroundings of any similar institution in this country. The land in its present condition is valued at from $17,000 to $20,- 000 an acre, and, if improved or laid out, would be easily woith $25,000 an acre." Mr. Shoenberger's magnificent gifts were the theme of conversation all over tbe city, and much surprise was expressed that so im portant a matter escaped tbe attention of the entire city press, except The Dispatch. CARLET0N TO LECTURE HEBE. He Will be Broaght to Pltubnrg ir Genera. College Stadeats.

At least 60 men were ia the place at the time the explosion took place, yet, fortunately, no one was hit by the flying metal. The sides of the buildingi were all bespattered with the metal and slag.
