'10 COMMIT SUICIDE,
V. B. Cliaffey Swallows a
Quantity of laudanum
.AND USES A BAZOR ALSO.
Recent Financial Difficulties Preyed
Upon His Mind.
UNUSUALLY DESPERATE ATTEMPT.
William B. Chaffey attempted to commit
suicide at bis residence, on Linden arenas,
Allegheny, yesteriay moraine; by first
taking a dose of laudanum, and then by try
in g to reach iis heart with a razor.
Mr. Chaffey is a broker and telegraph
operator, and is the silent member of the
firm of Heideeer & Co., brokers at 141 Fed
eral street, Allegheny.
He has lost considerable money recently
ia speculations, and this seemed to prey
upon his mind. Testerday morning he
rent down to his office about 9 o'clock, but
before 10 o'clock returned home.
He did not tell his wife why he returned,
bat passed bpstairs to his bedroom and
locked tbe door. Mrs. Chaffey. left home
shortly afterward and did sot return until
about.! o'clock in the afternoon. She
found the door still locked:
HEB SUSPICIONS ABOTJSED.
Receiving no answer to her knocking she
became frightened, and rushing to engine
house No. 10, a few yards away, she asked
for assistance to break in the door. Two of
the firemen accompanied ,her, and on fram
ing an entrance to the. room were horrified
to find Chaffey lying across the bed ap
parently dead, with an open razor clasped,
in his hand, and an empty bottle which had
contained an onnce and a half of laudanum
on a table nearby.
? Dr. Kirker, of North Diamond, street,
who happened to be passing, was'called in
and Tainly tried to revive the patient
Upon examination he found that Chaffey
had cut a gash about three inches long across
his breast immediately over his heart, be
side swallowing the laudanum. The cut
was only a flesh wound, and Dr. Kirker
took instant measures to neutralize the effect
cf the drug. After . working with the
patient a couple of hours Dr. Kirker left
and thejfamily physician, Dr. Munn, took
charge ot the case.
IS LIABLE TO DIE.
At 11 o'clock last night he was still uncon
scious, and Dr. Munn stated that the chances
for his recovery were very slim.
Chaffey is 31 years of ace and a native of
Toronto, Ont, where his parents are very
well biown. He is married and has three
bright children. He has traveled all over
the United States in his capacity as a tele
ernnh onerator. and is known to operators
in all the principal cities of ttie country, j
xseiore coming 10 .sriusourg ne resiaea in
Oil City and Bradford for several years.
Dr. Kirker said last evening: "The
young man evidently took the laudanum
first and while the drug was commencing to
operate he attempted to reach his heart with
the razor, bnt before he could do ao the J
laudanum stupefied mm.

sided. Dealers in kindred lines, carpets,
wall paper, etc., not members of the ex
change, were present The question was
discussed, and the sentiments of the meet
ing were in decided opposition to the
rhange. They were pnt into the shape of
the following resolution:
Resolved, That we, the Furniture Exchange
and kindred branches assembled, do not belie ve
that a change ot moving day to May 1 would
result In good for the majority of onr com
munity. Acarelnl consideration from a busi
ness standpoint leads us to believe it will be a
loss to the business interest of our county.
We, therefore, earnestly protest against tbe
change, knowing that the press of Pittsburg
has only agitated tbe movement to gain the
opinions of all interested.

JEAHNETTB DISCUSSION.
A Statement From Hen. WakerL Upon
tbe Importation Why Campbell Wanted
Secrecy.
From the publication in Tke DISPATCH
yesterday of the, conference held between
Messrs. J. A. Chambers, Jasaes Campbell
and others interested in the Jeannette im
portation case and the Treasury officials at
Washington, the feeling gained ground
in labor circles yesterday that an effort was
being made by those most concerned to
quash the proceedings. '
District Attorney Walter Lyon when
seen in this connection said:
"So far as I am concerned the case is
in the same condition as it stood last week;
I have bad no instructions to stop proceedings.
The action in the civil suit to enforce the
penalty lor -violation of the contract labor
law bears no relation to what steps the
Treasury Department may see fit to take
with regard to sending the men back, should
the prosecution succeed in its case. The
matter may end at the civil suit or it may
not; that is a question tolely for the Treas
ury. The conference at Washington yester
day may have been for the purpose of in
quiring into the evidence with a view to
enabling the Department to make up its
mind."
Messrs. John Ehman and Homer Ii. Me
Gaw were seen at the o nice of tbe Glott Bud
get. Said the former in connection with
the case:
"It is a curious thing that Campbell
should try to exclude reporters from the con
ference when he offered- to afford every
facility for a free and open investigation
into the matter last May. The offer, how
ever, was subsequently withdrawn, though
the council had agreed to the investiga
tion." Mr. McGaw said: "I was invited to be
present at the meeting at Washington but,
instead of going I sent on some evidence in
the' case. I believe the conference was
called to devise some means for killing the
whole case."
George L. Cake, Secretary of the Window
Glass Workers' Association returned from
Washington yesterday. Mr. Cake said that
the reason Campbell wanted secrecy was
because he had to submit certain lodge pro
ceedings which showed that the laws
of the Universal Federation of Labor
did not conflict with tbe feder
al or alien contract labor law. This
was why he asked the reporters to withdraw.
He did not know whether the case would be
dropped. Secretary Windom had given no
intimation. Mr. Cake said that Mr. Camp
bell wonld rather be, convicted than give up
the secrets of the order.

Interceding.
GEOWIH OP THE BOUTHSIDE OFFICE
II is not unnatural that there should be a
skirmish for the plums at tbe disposal ot
James 8. McKean, the new postmaster.
Yesterday petitions were circulated in all
.parts of the Southside, by the friends of
V... n -r .t . a ,-. a- ? T.I
will a. oones, tne oruggui, luuursiuK uiu
for Superintendent of the Southside station.
Mr. Jones js one of the Quay brand of Be
publicans and has been identified with
Twenty-fifth ward politics for a number of
years.
A conference has already been held with
i Mr. McKean, and while the latter did not
personally give Mr. Jones much encourage
ment, .he is credited with a statement to the
applicant's friends that practically justifies
the,belief that Mr. Jones will be appointed.
When Mr. Jones talked to Mr. McKean
the latter told him to present a petition
signed by the most prominent business men
on the Sonthside, and intimated that the
petition need not be a very long one.
OVEB TWO HUNDEED NAMES.
The petitions sent 'out yesterday were
signed by over 200 leading business men,
manufacturers and politicians. Mr. Jones
has the support of nearly all of Senator
Quay's friends on the Southside and has
been promised the indorsement of those on
this side of the river. He seems to have se
cured a lead on all other possible candi
dates, as a diligent search by a Dispatch
reporter failed to unearth any oppositionto
his candidacy.
There is considerable talk among the
citizens of the Southside about the matter.
It was rumored last night that Mr. McKean
had told a friend of his, that there should
be no change made in the Southside post
office, unless it was satisfactory to Mayor
McCallin. The latter was credited with
the statement that the appointment of Mr.
Jones was the only one that conld satisfy
him.
An effort was made to see Mr. McKean in
regard to the abdve, but he could not be
found. Mayor McCallin would not admit
having made the statement credited to him,
but said: "Mr. Jones is a very fine gentle
man, and I believe his appointment wonld
five general satisfaction on the Southside.
Ir. McKean, however, will appoint the
manof his choice, and I cannot say if he
favors Mr. Jones or not."
a widow now nr chaboe.
The Southside branch is the most import
ant station in connectionjvith the Pittsburg
nostoffice. It was created about a year and
a half ago. The estimated population of
the Southside is 75,000. The postoffice is
located in the heart of the most thickly set
tled district. The East End branch was
established before the Southside office was,
but the latter has outgrown the East End
station in the volume of business transacted.
Postmaster Larkin stated last night that,
while he could not make an official state
ment without looking up the records, he
thought the money order business last year
amounted to about $50,000.
The office is now in charge of Mrs. Kate
Foerster, who was appointed in September,
18S8,by Postmaster Larkin. There are 12 car
riers and a distributor employed and as many
as five deliveries are made daily. The terri
tory included in the Southside district is all
of that portion lying east of the SmithfieTd
street bridge. The station has all the facili
ties of a first-class office, and being in such
close proximity to the city office can be fur
nishea with supplies od short notice. The
lease on the building now occupied, located
at 'No. 1506 Carson street, runs for nearly
three years.
Mrs. Foerster is spoken of very highly by
Postmaster Larkin She seems to have con
ducted tbe affairs of the office in a careful
and satisfactory manner. About th? only
objection likely to be raised against Mr.
Jones' candidacy for the position is the fact
that his appointment will remove a widow
from the office. The matter is looked upon
as a purely political transaction, however,
by the friends of Mr. Jones.
LIGHT-FINGERED GEHTET.
They Are Said to be Infesting the City, bat
Are Under Espionage.
There is danger of pickpockets in the
large crowds of men, women and children
who congregate about the store windows
and on street corners dnring the hplidaj
season. m
About two weeks ago Detective Coulson
saw a young man named Edward Boyer, of
Lima, O., in company with a fellow be
lieved to be a thief in a disorderly house.
The young man was asked his business. He
said he was a railroader. Yesterday after
noon, In a large crowd gathered at the cor
ner of Smithfield and Fiftb avenue, Detec
tive Coulson saw some men who, bethought,
werelopktng out for pocketbooks. Asne
approached one fellow said, "There's Coul
son." The men immediately scattered, but
the officer grabbed one of them, who proved
to be his former acquaintance, Edward
Boyer. At the Central station Mr. Boyer,
who is only 18 years old, ia charged as a
suspicions person.
Detective Coulson fays he believes the
men intended to "work" the crowds which
climb udod tbe cable cars at tbe Postoffice
every aiternoon. It is a great opportunity
for pickpockets.

Mr. William Martin. Secretary of the

Mr. Martin yesterday expressed the opin
ion that the Western Iron Association at

Tbo Assembly, by 18 Votes to 5, Swederi
Its Charter What- Menn. MeSaw and
Ban Say of tbe Action.
L. A. 7190, Warehousemen, K. of L.,
held a meeting last night at the corner of
Wood and Fourth avenue. There were 21
out of 125 members in the local present
District Master Workman Boss attende'd.
While the Secretary was reading a pro
test of the committee against the expulsion
of McGaw from the order a member rose
and moved to rescind their action in rein
stating McGaw, but no second could be
found.
A motion was next made that the charter
be surrendered, and, on Mr. Koss rising to
leave at this juncture, a point of order was
raised on his doing so in the middle of the
proceedings. Mr. Boss' declared that he
could not sit in the assembly with an ex
pelled member, and retired. The motion to
surrender the charter was then put, and
carried by 16 to 5 against
Mr. Boss was seen alter the meeting, and
said:
It has been ruled that no assembly can sur
render a charter while there are ten members
willing to retain It The whole proceedings
are altogether illegal. McGaw got into tha
local by Iraud and does not legally belong to it
He was transferred from I A 2169 on a card
that was not signed by the local Master work
man, and that constitutes an illegal transfer.
This fact alone wonld be sufficient to prevent
bis claiming membership in 'tbe local, but
there are many others that could be men
tioned. Mr. McGaw, when seen, claimed that his
transfer from one local to the other was
legal, inasmuch as the Master Workman had
refused to act and he was then obliged to
have his card signed by the next in author
itythe Worthy Foreman.
Mr. McGaw said that when the secret
work had been taken from the door that a
motion to withdraw from the K. of L. was
put and carried, and thereupon the members
present formed themselves into a new union
under tbe .title of the Warehousemen's
Union, 1Tb. 1, with Samuel Nikirk as
president and James J. Carroll; secretary,
and Fred. Stoerr, financial secretary. A
special meeting of the members of L. A.

HOSTILITIES AT AN EKD,
Blver Operator Give ia and the Misers
Get the Advance.
Tbe Monongahela river miners' strike has
been brought to a close by the concession of
the operators to the men, and work will be
resumed in the majority of the mines on
Monday at the increased rates. The men
at Walton's No. 2 mines in the second pool,
and at the Lucas mines in the first pool
have been notified to resume work at 3
cents on.Monday, and the other operators
will, of course, and as usual, follow the
lead shown by. Joseph Walton & Co.
The reason for the sndden change on the
part of the operators is said to be the action
of the smaller operators, who were obliged,
by the exigencies of their business, to re
commence mining, and take their chance
for a profit from the state of the market
When one commenced others followed, until
the larger men came to the conclusion that
they might as well give in, and this they
have done with pc friendly feeling toward
their smaller brethren who drove them to
yield.
During the strike a very large proportion
ofthe miners found' employment at pipe
laying and at the railroad mines, but are
expected to return to their old work next
week. The river is full of empty craft, and
the next run of coal is expected to be a very
large one.
Meanwhile the lower markets are well
stocked and the market dull and inactive.

A joung lady, named Orrisonwho lives,

took my pocketbook and I want yon to re
turn it instantly." The accused indignantly
denied, the charge and threatened to have

Notwithstanding the extremely unfavora
ble weather of the last three months the oil
operators throughout the entire field have
not allowed the drill to rest a moment' The
greatest difficulty they have had to encoun
ter is in getting tools on the ground where
they intend drilling, and the roads are in a
worse condition at -present than they
have been at any time since the
fall weather commenced. There
have been .no new "fields opened
up, but wells good from 100 to 500 barrels
hare been struck within the boundaries of
what might be termed oil fields, and on ter
ritory which the majority of experienced
operators had condemned. This was nota
bly the case in the Washington, Butler and
Shannopin fields. Tne Dufi district and the
Chartiers field cannot be classed as new as
the former is in reality an extension of
Mush Creek, and J. M. Guff & Co., and
Calhoun, Jennings & Co., had already done
considerable drilling aronnd Chartiers, but
the Arbuckles were the first to touch the
pooL
PROMISING WESI VIEOIHIA.
The West Virginia field is being rapidly
developed, and there are many Pittsburg
operators who believe that it will be an
other Washington.
The renorts from the Boyle well, on the
Cotbett farm, in the Eureka field, which
should have been several days, ago, are not
reliable. It has been reported dry, but an
operator, who is largely interested in tbat
locality, states that the'well is fall of oil,
but will not be drilled in until some of the
loose territory in the vicinity has been
gathered in. The result will either open np
or condemn a large amount of territory.
The production of the entire field has been
Increased 20,000 barrels within the last three
months, bnt it will have to be 30 times that
amount to keep down tbeayerage depletion,
which for the eight months preceding Sep
tember 1, averaged 665,100 barrels per
month.
STOCKS OK HAND.
The stock of crude petroleum on hand
January 1,1889, was 18,595,474, and on
beptember 1, there were on hand 9,952,104
barrels of merchantable oil, sediment and
surplus 3,491,057 barrels, making a total of
13,354,221 barrels, which deducted front
the amount on hand January 1 shows a de
pletion of stock, besides the consumption of
ail on production from wells dnring the
eight months of 5,241,253 barrels. The last
statement of the National Transit Company
gives the "receipts from all sources" as
1,470.365, and the "total deliveries 2,001,
430 barrels, a difference of 531.065 barrels.
At such a rate the stocks will, in a few
years, be consumed, and the pipe line tanks
will be empty. The world will then be
without illuminating oil, except that which
is produced from day to day, unless some
means of refining Lima oil is discovered, or
an immense oil field is opened up in Amer
ica or Europe.
TTOEK ON THE TVELLS.
J. M. Patterson & Co.'s well, on the Tay
lor farm, in the Hookstown field, is doing
120 barrels a day, and their well on the
Leeper farm is six leet in the sand and filled
.with oil. The Mahoney wildcat, near
Zelienople, is reported to be doing 100 bar
rels a day. II is owned by P. J. Mahoney
and Charles Strohecker. There was not
Sufficient tankare on the trronnd to hold the
$11, and the drilling baa been stopped untiU
tanxs can be put up. .Many operators nave
been retarded recently by more than the
usual number of fishing jobs.
One of these unfortunates said yesterday
that this is dug to the fact that oil well sup
ply manufacturers are rushed with orders,
and do not take proper precautions in mak
ing the cables, many of which are of in
ferior quality and hurriedly made.
MR. SMART WAS DULL
How a Bncollc Carpenter Paid to See the
Plttibnrg Elephant.
The men whom Johnny Smart accuses of
robbing him are being arrested one by one.
A part of Johnny's story has already been
told. He is a carpenter who has been in
town only three days. Whentie arrived he
had $75. He has now much less. His right
name is not Smart That was bestowed
upon him by the police sergeants, who
thought it appropriate. He refused to give
his right name. He was hauled up because
he had refused to pay Goettman for meals
which he had Ordered for himself and two
tough looking companions. All three were
drunk, and were charged with disorderly
conduct.
Thursday morning- Smart was fiaed and
his companions discharged. After thehear
ing he pleaded that he was drank, bat said
that while he was in that condition he had
been robbed by three companions of a
silver watch and $30. The police went
after those who had been with him. ' De
tectives Robinson and Shore found Thomas
Eeidman, whose home is at Ko. 22 Robin
son street, Allegheny, at the corner of Mar
ket and Fourth. He gave his business as
that of a steamfitter, but he was considered
suspicious, and Magistrate Oripp yesterday
morning sent him to tbe workhouse for GO
days.
Last night Detectives Bobinson and Shore
found another one of the party, named
Walker, at the Farmers' Hotel. He was
a ragged, vocationless man, whose chief pos
session was a clay pipe. He was locked up
as a suspicious person, emu anotner is to
be gathered in.
GOING INTO BETEEAT. , .
Tho Religions Orders obierrlos Their An
nual Period of Fasting.
The Bisters of Mercy of this city are pre
paring to go into their, annual holiday re
treat The retreat is not conducted on such
a large scale as the one held during the sum
mer. Next week all the nuns connected
with the order will hold a three days' serv
ice of fasting and devotion. This is done at
the houses where they are stationed and not
at one central point. The retreat generally
begins three days before New Year's and
ends with the dawn of the new year. Dur
ing the retreat none of them 'are allowed to
speak with each other.
The brothers of he Order of St Mary, who
conduct the parochial school of the St
Mary's congregation in Allegheny, and the
St Michael's on the Sonthside, are going
into their annual retreat. It is being held
in the mother house of their order in this
country at Nazareth, near Dayton, O.
All the priests of the order of the Holy
Ghost held their annual retreat last week at

' The millers of a considerable section of
this State; who stave been meeting at the
Seventh .venuV Hotel, have formed an
organization whieff'they have christened,
"The Keystone Bag CompanV the capital
stock of which is $100,000.- They deny that
they have combined to fighthe Paper Bag
Trust, which has headquarters in New
York, but all tbe same the operations ofthe
new company will necessarily be more or
less antagonistic to the combine.
The officers are: President C. H. Horn
ing, Pittsburg; Secretary, F. B. McClurg,
Pittsburg, Treasurer, B. I. Isenberg, Hunt
ingdon; Directors, A. B. Spanoele, Lewis

Stanton, New Stanton; H. C. Best, Scott
dale; W. C. Bichey, Irwin:; Hon. H. G.
Fisher, Huntingdon; George M. Creswell,
Petersburg, and C. F. Horning, Pittsburg.
It was decided to erect the factory at
Irwin, Westmoreland county, and the ob
ject is to make flour sacks and bagging of
all kinds. The citisens of Irwin have
donated ground and fuel, and the location is
considered as good as can be found, being
on the direct line of railways east and
west The projectors expect to enlist most of
the millers of the State in its support, and a
considerable number outside the State have
subscribed to theN stock; and it is expected
that the factory will recommend itself to the
patronage of many who nave not yet signi
fied their adhesion.
While it is denied that the object of the
combination is to fight the trust, it will
doubtless take away all the business from
the latter that can be had.'

jit is Just a question whether thff river
mine-Eastern syndicate deal is off or not
A gentteaan yesterday expressed the view
that the newspapers had Jellied it by giving
its operations too much publicity, with the
effect of scaring the operators.
Whether this is so or not, Colonel W. P.
Shinn was yesterday in conference with S.
Ii. Wood, Addison Lysle, Captain Bnnton
and Captain James Faweett, and the con
versation was reported to be of a ver in
teresting tenor.
Mr. Lysle was seen at his residence, in
Allegheny, last evening with reference to
the meeting, 'and said: "Messrs. Wood,
Buntou. Faweett and myself met yesterday
afternoon for about ten minutes, but the
meeting was entirely informal, and we
merely spoke" of the deal, i We decided
upon nothing, because the Eastern people
have until the 1st oi January to say yes or
no, and until that time we can only lay on
our oars. I do not take any stock in the
rumor that the publicity given to the deal
through the newspapers has frightened the
Eastern men."

the owners of the Gospel and Walton
