WtyW THE HTTSBURGP DISPATCH, THURSDAY, JANUARY ' ' 30, 1890. 5 ?; r - GETTING A 10 YE Oft The Prospects for the Sew Govern ment Building Brighten. 'A LITTLE VISIT TO WASHINGTON Made ty Snperinterulent Malone, Who Promises Mr. Nindrim That HE'LL HUSTLE THINGS UP LI7LT. Architect rattlson Coming to Inspect the Wort Very Shortly. Quite without warning, Superintendent Malone, of the Pittsburg Government build ing, was closeted with Supervising Archi tect "Windrim yesterday for a long time. He will do all in bis power to hasten the completion of the building, he says. An inspection of the work will soon be made by Architect Pattison, of Philadelphia. rnOSI A ETATF COBBESrOXDEXT. Washington-, January 29. Superin tendent Malone, of the Pittsburg Govern ment building, turned up quite unexpected ly at the office of the Supervising Architect of the Treasury this morning. He had not been sent for. Kb message from this end of the line had gone forth to alarm him. Yet he was plainly alarmed. Whether it was the publication in The Dispatch of Tues day, that Colonel James Andrews was about to start for "Washington and had offered to guarantee the completion of the building by November, or whether it was something else, possibly no one knows, except Mr. Malone. Colonel Andrews has talked with the Sec retary of the Treasury in regard to the slow progress of the building, in the presence o the Supervising Architect; but he has not yet offered his services. He expressed freely and forcibly his opinion that the work is being unnecessarily delayed, and so eminent an authority was listened to with great attention and respect Possibly Mr. Malone divined in advance just about what Colonel Andrews wonld say, and determined to come on. CO-OPEBATION PBOMISED. Mr. Malone was closeted for a long time with Supervising Architect "Windrim, who told him plainly of the complaints about delay, of his promise to Postmaster McKean that he (Mr. Windrim) would use every endeavor to have the postoffice ready for occupancy by the first of November, and Mr. Malone consented to do everything in his power to hasten the completion of the building, and to prepare the postoffice por tion for the advent of Mr. McKean and his force by the time specified. It can be stated as a substantial fact that upon the efforts of Mr. Malone in the very near future depend the length of his tenure. The strong presentation by Mr. McKean of the condition of affairs in the old postoffice, and the necessity for increased ac commodation, coupled with the pub lications in the Pittsburg newspapers, the complaints by citizens and by Contractor McGowan, who is responsible for the work and yet prevented from having anything to do with it, and lastly, the forci ble assault upon the present management by Colonel Andrews, has apparently deter mined the department authorities to take Mr. Malone firmly in hand, if be does not at once begin to push things at the building. NOT QUITE SATISFIED. Of course the Superintendent had ranch to say in his own defense, and some things with a good deal of substance in them, but he did not quite satisfy the Department that he was doing all he might do. Alter the general talk in regard to the building, the question of rushing the preparation of tbe postoffice apace was dwelt upon by the Supervising Architect and the Superintend ent. The ground was thoroughly gone over, and Mr. Malone knows exactly what he has to do. Architect Pattison, of Philadelphia, who has already visited Pittsburg once or twice as the special agent of the Supervising Architect, will again be on the ground within a few days to consult with the Super intendent and inspect the progress of the work. He will make a report to Mr. "Windrim as soon as possible, and if every thing does not appear to have been going satisfactorily, Mr. Malone will get another shaking up. If the atmosphere of the Supervising Ar chitect's office to-day was not entirely de ceptive, the prospects for the Pittsburg Gov ernment building are brighter than they have been for a long time. Lightkxb. AN ECHO OF THE IYES SUIT. A Michigan Corporation Dcmand a Receiv er for the Broken Firm. Xew Tore, January 29. The Mineral Range Bailroad Company, a corporation created under the laws of Michigan, has filed a bill of complaint with the United States Circuit Court for the Southern Dis trict of New York against Henry S. Ives, George H. Staynor and Thomas C. Doremus, individually and as members of the firm of Henry S Ives & Co., and William Nelson Cromwell, assignee of that firm. The bill is signed by Charles "W. Cass, solicitor, and James C. Carter, of counsel for the complainant. It cites the fact that the complainant com pany, on January 27, 1890, obtained a judg ment in the Supreme Court of this State in Kings county against H. S. Ives & Co. tor the sum of $150,981 27, and that the execu tions issued thereon have been returned un satisfied. It also alleges fraud on the part of the defendants. The complainant therefore prays that the assignment to the defendant Cromwell be decreed null and void; that a receiver be ap pointed and that a writ of injunction issue prohibiting the defendants from part ing with or in any wav disposing of any of the property of the firm. EITEESIEK WILL OBJECT. Flttibnrcera Kick Asalnst Low Bridges on tbe misalnslppl. trCOM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT.'! "Washington, January 29. Senator Harris, of Tennessee, yesterday introduced a bill in the Senate to amend the "act to au thorize tbe constrnction of a bridge across the Mississippi river at Memphis, Tenn.," by reducing the required height above high water mark irom 75 to C5 feet. Pittsburg rivermen will remember the fight they had in the last two Congresses over this bridge bill and the particular stress they laid upon tbe necessity of building the bridge high enough not to have it prove an obstruction to navigation, and Mr. Bayne is of the opinion that they will scarcely allow this amendment to be made without at least making an attempt to prevent it. THE TARIFF ON IRON AND STEEL. The New BUI to Reprodnce a Clause From lira, Old Hennte Bleninre. rrBOK A ST ATT CORBESF01TDEST.J Washington, January 29. A member of the Ways and Means Committee, who has interests in "Western Pennsylvania, said to-day: "We are making rapid progress with the Tariff bill, and will probably be able to report it to the House in a week or ten days. So far as the clauses relating to the iron and steel industries are concerned I think this House bill will be practically a reprodnction of the Senate bill ot the last Congress. That was rather popular, I am told, around Pittsburg, and The Dispatch will probably be glad to learn that the chances are good for our bill being equally wiisfactory' CAUGHT A BAD GANG. Thirteen Burglars Corruleil nt Their Fence by a New York Detective A Sur prise Party and Recep tion Combined. ISFECIAL TELEGRAM TO TUB DISFATCH.I New Yoke, January 29. Thirteen per sons were arraigned in the Yorkville Police Court to-day as the sequel to a little party that Detective McCarthy gave in a fur nished room last night It was a sort of evening reception and surprise party com bined, and the detective found it one of the pleasantest and most interesting events of his career. There is no doubt that it was interesting also for the detective's guests. The room in which the entertainment took place was one that had been rented by James Smith from Mrs. McCarthy, the owner and one of the occupants of the house. The detective took Policeman Benning around with him to assist in receiving. Be fore the hour for the party to begin the de tective and his associate on the Reception Committee took the trouble to familiarize themselves with the apartment to the extent of discovering a lot of clothing and other goods stolen, some of it, earlier in the day, Irom the rooms of Theresa Callahan. After this little preliminary the Keception Com mittee settled itself comiortabiy lor a quiet smoke while awaiting the guests. Pretty soon there came a rap on the door, and a voung fellow walked in very much as if he "was at home. He stared when he found McCarthy there instead of Smith, and stared more when Officer Benning pushed his chair up conveniently against the door, while the detective put the visitor through a little cross-examination as to his business with Mr. Smith. The replies were not sat isfactory, and the young fellow was taken to the lockup by Benning, while Detective McCarthy returned to his role of host. One after another the members of the gang arrived, and by 3 A. M. 13 were cor raled. The police are vastly pleased with the arrest of the gang, which is one of the worst that has infested the city for some time. Smith and Martin confessed this afternoon to several robberies, and gave in formation that may lead to the discovery of the property. A HOT FIGHT IMPENDING In The Congressional Race In tbe Erie Crawford DIatrlct. rrnOM A STATF COBEESFONDENT. "Washington, January 29. "One of the hottest Congressional district fights in the State will he that in the Erie district," said a citizen of Crawford county to-day, who is in the city for a brief visit "Don't say I told you, because I don't want to be mixed up in it. But Mr. Culbertson, the present representative of the district composed of Crawford and Erie counties, is determined to be renominated and elected if it take even so big a slice of his millions, and those who don't feel that way are equally as determined that he shall be defeated. The pins are being set up on both sides now. Culbertson will have the support of most of the old crowd of Bepubiicans, which he has endeav ored to please by appointing as many of tnem to oince as possioie. An my coumy ue will be supported by a clique known as the 'Court House ring,' which will handle his cash in that county. "Who will be brought out against him? I do not yet know, but probably my county will have a candidate in John C. Sturte vant, of Conneautville, a very popular and able gentleman. You see, Culbertson's greatest strength in Crawford county is up in that region, which is not far from his own home at Girard. It was easy of access and he worked it thoroughly two years ago, but with Sturtevant as a can didate, he wonld not be heard of in that section. In his own county, there is great opposition to him, but it is probable that faction would support Sturtevant and re frain from attempting to nominate a citizen of Erie county. It you keep a keen eye on their district you will see some fun within the next few months. A JUDGE ALMOST SHOT. A Revolver Goes Ofl", Creating a Panic In si Courtroom. Chicago, January 29. There was a sen sational scene in Judge Clifford's North side Court, about 2:30 thiB alternoon, and, as a result of it Assistant State Attorney Neely and Judge Clifford narrowly escaped death. The case of a young man named Scharfer, who was accused of committing an assault upon Officer James Maddox, was on trial. Officer Maddox was handling the revolver with which Scharfer had tried to, kill him. Suddenly the weapon exploded' and the bullet whizzed dangerously near to the heads of Mr. Neely and the Judge. It passed between them and buried itself in tbe floor. There was a panic for a time, and for some moments it was thought some one had tried to assassinate the Judge. Officer Maddox claimed that before he left the station he extracted every bullet from the revolver, and he cannot explain the accident. MR. M'GINLEI NOT ILL, And No One at Hi New York Hotel Had Heard tbe Report. 'EFZCIAI. TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. New York, January 29. The report that J. B, McGinley. secretary of the Phila delphia Gas Company, was dangerously ill at a hotel here, is erroneous. He has been stopping at the Fifth Avenue, and inquiry there by a Dispatch reporter to-night as to his health brought the answer: "Mr. Mc Ginley is not in. None of the attaches of the hotel had heard of his illness. Thomas J. Gillespie is registered with him. Mm. Carter Will Try to Act. lBFECIAL TELEGBAM TO TUE DISFATCn.l Ne-wYobk, January 29.

THE FIGHT STILL ON. Effects of Mrs. J. Ellen Foster's De feat at Cleveland Crop Out. EXECDTIVE OFFICERS ROASTED. Mrs. Foster Expected to Defend Herself and Truth in the Case. THE I'S INDORSING THE NEW POLICY. Local Ruses of a Fight That Is Attracting national Attention. From all superficial indications it appears that the local fight in the "W. C. T. IT. that has led to national disruption of that body has only just been fairly organized for a pro longed fray. Mrs. Foster's troubles are taken tip by her friends in Pittsburg as if the latter meant business. It was lucky for the new temperance or ganization that Mrs. J. Ellen Foster was not made the National President by the Cleveland convention. Letters are being received from all parts of the country from individual women and from unions, stating that they are now ready to join the non partisan ranks, but expressing themselves very explicitly that if Mrs. Foster had been elected president they would have remained where they are. One minister wrote: "I am glad you have demonstrated to the public that you tell the truth, and that when you say the Republic an party has nothing to do with your organ ization we can believe yon." Attorney "W. M. Price, however, is one that is hard to be convinced that the non partisan people are just what they represent themselves to be. He said yesterday: "Mrs. Foster has always tried to "get an office in the national W. C. T. U., and when she did not get it there she started out to be Nat ional President of the new. She would have been elected, too, if the women had not been sharp enouch to see that her election would kill the organization." "What do you think of the new organ ization generally?" CANNOT LITE. ""Why it's just like the many other non partisan societies that have sprang up in the midit ot an agitation, that are not heard of now. It cannot live; it has no substantial backing. The Non-Partisan Amendment Association, of Pennsylvania, the Non-Partisan Temperance Society, ot Massachusetts, started by Mrs. Foster her self, the Anti-Saloon League, of New York, and the Non-Partisan Association of Ohio, were all started on the same basis. An effort was made to make national affairs of them, but they all died. The Church Tem perance Society, so famous during the Blaine campaign, is another. All of these came up just on the eve of an important elaction, and every one, including the last one, was organized in the interest of the Republican party. The same sort of a fight has been gone through in the South, where the Democrats favor local option." The current issue of The Fotce, a tem perance paper published in New York:, has thistosayby way of a compliment to the new organization:" "Tbe Itepulican women who have decided to break awav from the National "W. C. T. TJ. have formed a new organization called the Women's Christian Temperance Alliance, in which they will have things their own way, and will be able to oppose the only party that stands for prohibition as vigorously as they desire." MAKING A SENSATION. The circular sent out by the special sub committee of the National Executive Com mittee is creating quite a sensation. An officer of the new Alliance said yesterday: "I am surprised that those women should waste their time at such work They are all able women, and might employ their time at better things. Of course, all they say about Mrs. Foster is true. There is nothing in 'Truth in the Case' that she denies; but if she worked for three years for woman's suffrage, and then discovered that it was wrong, it wonld have been a greater wrong for her to continue in that line than to de nounce it However, I am not fighting Mrs. Foster's battles. I think she is able to lookout for herself; and I am mistaken it those women don't hear from her." Mrs. H. C. Campbell, the President of the new State organization, has received of ficial notices from several unions in various parts of the State, informing her that they have indorsed the non-partisan constitution and will hereafter work under it Mrs. Campbell said yesterday that the greatest eagerness to join the new organization ex isted among the Y's. From all parts of the State word is received that these societies are ready to divide or join the new in a body. Should only half of the Y's in the State join the non-partisan ranks the accession would still be very large, and yet it is ex pected that even a greater percentage will go over. There are Y unions in 57 counties. The whole number of societies is 460, with an enrolled membership of 13,500. Last year 20 unions disbanded, and it is said that many of them did so because of the policy of the National, to which they were auxil iary. It is known that Mrs. William B. Bhoades, the State Superintendent, and Save Your Hair BYatimelyuseof Ayer's Hair Vigor. This preparation has no equal as a dressing. It keeps the scalp clean, cool, and healthy, and preserves tho color, fullness, and beauty of the hair. "I was rapidly becoming bald and gray; but alter using two or three bottles of Ayer's Hair Vigor my hair grew thick and glossy and the original color was restored." Melvin Aldrich, Canaan Centre, N. H. " Some time ago I lost all my hair in consequence o measles. After due waiting, no new growth appeared. I then used Ayer's Hair Vigor and my hair grew Thick and Strong. It has apparently come to stay. Tho Vigor is evidently a great aid to nature." J. B. Williams, Floresville, Texas. "I have used Ayer's Hair Vigor for the past four or five years and find it a most satisfactory dressing for the hair. It is all I could desire, being harmless, causing the hair to retain its natural color, and requiring but a small quantity to render the hair easy to arrange." Mrs. .11. A.
