IS TROUBLE
Rector Maxwell Sues His
Yestry for Damages.
IAW HIS ONLY EECOURSE.
Inside History of the Vexing Aspects
Of the Contention.
THE YESTEY AGAINST THE RECTOR
Grand Old Trinity Church it now in the
courts, and the trouble so long impending
in the old aristocratic church of Pittsburg
will be duly aired in the most public man
ner. The rector of the church, Key. Samuel
Maxwell, has served a summons upon each
Mid everyone of the vestry and church offi
cers, requiring them to appear in person be
fore John Gripp, Esq., magistrate, to stand
defendant in a suit for cumulative damages.
Premonitions of the inevitable misunder
gtandingbavebeen given thepublicfrom time
to time recently, and the Shoenberger be
quest of $100,000 conditional upon the com
pliance of the church with certain provisos
added fuel to the flames. Individual mem
bers hare aired their opinions in the news
papers, but the general public has been in
clined to believe that the troubles would be
settled within the members. That such
opinions are erroneous the suit brought yes
terday by the rector conclusively shows.
The suit brought by Sector Maxwell is
rather peculiar in its nature, and one cer
tainly without precedent in the local eccle
siastical circles. It is necessary to enter
into some explanation of the cause of the
suit in order to make clear the nature of the
damages claimed by the reverend gentleman.
The Episcopal Church year ends on Easter
Monday. By the terms of the contract ex
isting between the rector and the vestry, the
latter says to him $3,600 in money, and
leases a mansion from vear to year at the
stipulated sum ot $900 per annum. To
agree as to the renewal of the lease a vestry
meeting must be held prior to Easter Mon
day. Such a meeting was held last Thurs
day evening in the chapel of the church.
The vestry consists of 13 gentlemen at
present; the Senior "Warden, Mr. Shoen
berger, having died his place is as yet un
filled. HOW THE YESTBT STJLXDS.
The vestry stands as follows: For Eev.
Mr. Maxwell, Mr. T. C. Jenkins; against
Sector Maxwell, Messrs. H. G. Hale, J. B.
Danlevy, Stephen McCandless, A. E. W.
Painter, B. Bafcewell, A. T. Dravo. Colonel
A. S. M. Morgan, Charles Gormley,
Andrew D. Smith and W. ri. Singer; non
committal. Messrs. H. L. Mason and B B.
Brown. There are, therefore, ten vestry
men openly arrayed against the rector, one
vestryman for him, and two who decline to
say just where or how they stand. The
motion to refuse to re-lease Mr. Maxwell's
present residence, o. 220 Western avenue,
was passed on Thursday with but one dis
senting voice. Mr. Maxwell was notified,
and now strikes back by a suit for all salary
which may accrue or become due, his house
rent in the future, and such sums as may be
incurred in the process of moving, made
necessary by the refusal of the vestry to
guarantee, as per their contract, a house for
his occupancy.
LooVing back two months, a meeting of
the vestry was called in last December, at
which a resolution was passed requesting the
resignation of the rector by the 20th of Jan
nary. To this Mr. Maxwell returned no
answer, and the vestry is known to have
considered the plan ot reducing his salary
to such a low point that it would be barely
a lecal sum.
It was ascertained, however, that by the
laws of the Commonwealth the rector could
recover his salary upon his contract It
was also discussed as to whether the vestry
could close the church doors, but acain the
law of Pennsylvania interposed, with a pre
cedent of a clergvman who, with an eye to
the church militant, battered down the
doors of a church under similar
circumstances. Ecclesiastical precedents
were also found upon examination to be to
the effect that the rector of a church could
not be removed from exercising his legal of
fices unless guilty of actual lawbreaking in
volving jail imprisonment, and that the
Bishop ot the Diocese must concur in any
step taken to remove a minister upon charges
involving ecclesiastical offenses. "The canons
of the church allow the Bishop to suspend a
clenryman. pending a formal church trial,
until the finding of the tribunal, composed
of the Standing Committee of the Diocese,
presided over by the Bishop, be rendered.
The rector being thoroughly competent and
perfectly blameless in the exercise of his
functions, the majority of the vestry felt
somewhat at sea as to what course to pursue.
CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE.
It is well known that the action of Bector
Maxwell in refusing to present the name of
John H. Shoenb-eer, Senior "Warden of
Trinitv Church, to the Diocesan Conven
tion, held at Oil City during the first week
in June last, as a candidate for election as
lay delegate to the recent General Conven
tion of the Protestant Episcopal Church,
from the Pittsburg diocese, was the incep
tion of the trouble. Mr. Maxwell justified
nis action oy tne statement ttiat Air. Shoen
berger was a non-resident of the diocese and,
therefore, ineligible to election. He has
repeatedly said that he desired to save Mr.
Shoenberger the humiliation oi possible
defeat. Mr. Hale, Junior "Warden of Trin
ity, nominated Mr. Shoenberger, and the
latter was defeated in the balloting. This
started the music, and Mr. ShoenBerger's
recent death seemed to inteusiiv the feeling.
It was fqand that Mr. Maxwell" did not in
tend to resign, and just recently it was pro
posed by the vestry that charges be formu
lated against htm and laid before Bight
Bev. Cortlandt "Whitehead, Bishop of the
diocese. The charge proposed was, "That
Bev. Samnel Maxwell, Bector of Trinity
Church, had preferred one vestryman to
another in an official capacity."
The vestrymen wha oppose Mr. Maxwell
make many charges of a minor nature.
They assert that his ministrations do not
enlist the presence of the congregation; that
the revenues of the church have been seri
ously depleted by the apathy caused by the
separation of the congregation, and that in
retaining his position the wishes of the
majority of the church have been and are
being disregarded. It is but justice to say
that even the most acrimonious remarks are
statements that have never contained the
slightest allusion in any way detrimental to
his character, devotion to duty and readi
ness to serve in his official capacity on all
occasions, and at all times. It seems to be
the impression among the members of the
church that the legal recourse is taken to
bring the matter to a culmination of some
kind, and that nothing radical will be done
until .the end of the church year. It was
said last night to a Dispatch reporter,
that should Mr. Maxwell refuse to resien
prior to Easter Monday, the majority
of the vestry would not only re
sign, but withdraw entirely from the
church. The withdrawal of so many wealthy
families, or rather the prospect of their
withdrawal is expected to have some weight
in the matter.
SOMEWHAT MIXED.
On the other band Mr. Maxwell's friends
claim that at the election lor vestrymen on
Easter Monday a number of new vestrymen
would be elected anyhow1, displacing the
present vestrymen. The whole matter seems,
from an impartial standpoint, considerably
mixed. It was apprehended last night tha't
there might be some interesting develop
ments at one or both of the services of to
day, and a crowded church is expected. Ko
such sensation has occurred in this city for
yean, And there are those who expect a
bitter fight for the control of Trinity Church
in the future.
The possibility of a coalition with St.
Peter's P. E. Church congregation seems to
be entering into the matter. There are some
members of Trinitv vestry who favor the
amalgamation of the two congregations pro
viding certain financial stumbling blocks
are removed. It is almost impossible to se
cure an authorized interview from members
of the congregation. The above history of
affairs has been gleaned from various indi
viduals during a term of several weeks.
The suit brought by Mr. Maxwell was
prepared by one of the most prominent law
yers of the city who is a member of the con
gregation. It is believed to be the precur
sor of a bitter contest. Service of the sum
mons to appear before Magistrate Gripp was
mane upon various memoers ot the vestry
by Mr. Gripp's constable. The writ was
made returnable on February 15. Being
the next day after St "Valentine's Day a
highly colored ecclesiastical valentine will
be awaited with interest
Bev. Samuel Maxwell has been over four
years rector of Trinity Church, coming
from Xoungstown, O., where he held a pas
torate for 17 years. Prior to his coming
there had been a bitter contest over the act
ing rector's retention, and Mr. Maxwell
was agreed upou as a compromise candidate
against Mr. John H. Shoenberger's dissent.
An endeavor was made to see Vestryman
Henry G. Hale late last night, at his resi
dence, Ellsworth avenue, East End. The
gentleman had retired, but sent word that
he was not to be interviewed.
THE SILSBY TEST.
Chief Jones Refused lo Blake a. Statement
4bent it Was the Gange Covered With
a Cloth f The Tanks Are in Readiness
far the Contest.
Yesterday Chief J. O. Brown received a
letter from John Yanderveldt, dated at
Omaha, Neb., saying that he had to be de
tained on business for some days yet, but
would probably arrive at Pittsburg on Sun
day evening or Monday morning. The
Chief is anxious to have the test concluded
so as to have it widened from the working
engines of two cities t" those of the world,
which might be considered as a world's
fair test of the best engines, which Chief
Brown will demand shall control the choice
of fire apparatus for the Pittsburg Fire
Bureau in luture purchases.
An examination of the tanks yesterday
showed them to be 7 feet 2 inces' in diam
eter and 5 feet 5 inches in depth, said to
contain S3 barrels, or about 1,700 gallons,
standard measure, 32 gallons to the barrel
capacity. This at the rate of 850 gallons
per minute, the throwing capacity claimed
as an average run for the first-class Amos
keag. would empty the vat provided, if the
supply held out, about every two minutes.
Confidence rises every day in the ability of
the Amoskeag engine at No. 2 engine "bouse
to win the battle, and if the supporters of
the Silsby engine will call at No. 2, 3 or 6
engine houses in Pittsburg with $100, more
or less, to back the rotary performance,
it will be soon taken up, which is
more suggestive of a ring than any
other system of pumping power they say
that is known.
The latest reports regarding the Silsby en
gine test was that the first class engine to
contest with the city Amoskeag at No. 2 en
gine honse was tried yesterday morning at
10 o clock, taking from the tank which she
will use at the test The result is slightly
clouded, according to the account of a-man
who was present, in the first place, because
the water gauge was covered with a cloth
during the trial, and in the next, because
the water was never lowered more than four
inches in the tank during the
continuance of the trial. "With
out knowing the amount oi water con
sumed or the pressure made, there was no
chance for the onlooker, who is a practical
fireman, to say what the engine could do.
Chief Jones, when called upon in refer
ence to the above, hesitated for several
moments before replying, then said: "I
suppose Pete Snyder gave you that I saw
alot-of the. Pittsburg- boys down on the
wharf within a few moments after we got
there,"
"What we want to know, Chief, is why
the water gauge was covered with a cloth?"
The Chief laughed slylyand said: "Well.
I guess that's our business. If they are
anxions about the figures on that gauge, I
guess we will keep them to ourselves. I
haven't got anything further to say."
COMING WEST.
Washington Is Hustling for a New Steel
Firm to Locate There. '
Messrs. John Slater, I. W. Mitchell, E.
F. Atcheson and Colonel J. B. B. Streator,
business men of Washington, Pa., came to
the city yesterday to confer with some East
ern manufacturers with a view to inducing
them to remove their mills to Washington.
The securing of the Tyler Manufacturing
Company, from Boston, has only whetted
the commercial appetites of the enterprising
citizens of Pittsburg's small but ambitious
neighbor.
Mr. Tyler said yesterdav that he knew of
several New England firms wha were
anxious to remove to Western Pennsylvania.
DIED FE0M PEE1T0XITIS.
Result of the Autopsy on tbo Sodden Death
of Joseph McMullen.

HO LOOTING OP FDHDS AT JOHNSTOWN
The question as to distribution of relief
funds at Johnstown seems to be opened up
very thoroughly, so far as evoking comment
is concerned, by the communication from a
Johnstown citizen which appeared in yester
day's issue of The Dispatch. Some of
the most telling extracts from the spicy let
ter are as follows:
There are some of us who wonld like to havo
the modus operandi of the committee in charge
here ventilated. w In the distribution of
money sent here these sentiments (succoring
"the homeless and needy") were entirely lost
sight of. I do not mean to say that the home
less and needy did not receive any of tbe fund,
bnt I do mean to say that individuals who were
not in needy circumstances received the largest
amounts, and in several cases individuals re
ceived as much as was sent to the town of South
Fork. I have no ax to grind. I re
ceived more than I expected, not being on the
inside or even a relative of any tbat were. I
simply wonld like, to see an Itemized account
of the relief money distributed here. It would
be much more Interesting than South Fork's
account. Justice.
Johxstown, January 3t
Mr. W. B. Thompson's attention was
called to the communication, and he very
cheerfully consented to supply the hiatus
between the facts and strong inueudoes of the
writer of the letter. As treasurer of the
Pittsburg Belief Committee and the suc
cessor of Judge Cummin in the first pay
ment of flood lunds at Johnstown, Mr.
Thompson is able to throw some light upon
the extremely interesting subject. He said:
A CAIIEFUL HISTOBT.
"The work done at Johnstown by the dis
bursing agents intrusted with first payment
and adjustment of claims was of necessity of
a very important nature. To arrive at a
clear understanding of the case, it will be
remembered that the per capita of $10 had
been paid before I took any ot the actual re
lief funds to Johnstown. In the meantime
the local Board ot Inquirv had been organ
ized, and was at once intrusted with the
preparation of claims to be sent on to the
cashiers oi the fund, after having been care
fully scrutinized by the Finance Committee
of Johnstown. As I remember the names of
the Board of Inquiry were as follows: Messrs.
Masters, Brown, Hannan and Condon. The
Finance Committee consisted of Editor
Swank, James McMillen, Mr. W. C. Lewis,
and John D. Roberts. These were all lead
ing citizens whose integrity has never been
impugned in any way whatever.
"There might have been some partiality
shown as 'Justice' hints, but the system
adopted made it rather difficult for the exer
cise of liberality after the style of nepo
tism. Those who lost property, etc., were
directed to prepare a sworn statement of
losses, and bring the same before the Board
of Inquiry. There was appended a variety
of questions, the answers being the basis of
credence as to the claim. As is well known,
I had been instructed to turn over $150,000
of the monev in the hands of the Pittsbnrtr
Belief Committee to Judge "Hugh M. Cum
min, the gentleman selected by Governor
Beaver as the disbursing agent. I went to
Johnstown with $110,000 in silver and
smaller denominations ot bank and treasury
notes, and found that Judge Cummin was a
very ill man. We met and were introduced
by Captain McClellan, and Judge Cummin
begged me to remain a few days, and assist
him in the payment, imagining, with good
cause, as it afterward proved, that the de
tailed work comprehended would be ex
tremely ardnouB. I consented to remain two
or three a ays.
JOHNSTOWN MEN CHOSEN. .
"Under previously given instructions a
great many of those to whom money was
due, had prepared their affidavits or losses.
The statement was attested by the Board of
Inquiry and also by the Finance Commit
tee, all ot whom were Johnstown men, far
more familiar with the actual losses of the
applicants for relief than outsiders could
possibly be; but despite the double attesta
tion, we had not proceeded very far before
we found that there was a disposition to
put it in the mildest language to "gouge."
Applicant after applicant, when subjected
to close cross-questioning, came down in the
estimate of loss. In no case was the full amount
of the claim paid, amounts being simply
paid out and credited to each applicant's
name in the books of the amateur bank.
When the first day's work was concluded
Judge Cummin and myself went to the
Cresson House. He complained of severe
pains, and was taken sick within a few
hours. He mentioned again to me the fact
that he had detected instances of greed
cropping out all throngh the day's work,
and when he found himself unable to return
to work begged me to take his place and
complete the payment. It was tiie illness
that ended in his death. Over two
weeks were consumed in making the pay
ment, and it is certainly true that an un
pleasantly large number of efforts to secure
an indemnification of losses from an incor
rect and excessive basis were made among
those who applied. One man asked for $160
for baggage, clothing and books. When a
little sifting was done, his landlady testi
fied that a linen collar and a suit of old
flannels were the entire property lost, and
so it went. People came in, and swore to
most lavish losses, and men standing in the
same room told us that the applicants had
not possessed one-tenth of what they
claimed. And so it went. The payment
was delayed to some extent by these inves
tigations, and it was an unpleasant illus
tration of the meaner attributes of human
nature.
GLAD CAEE WAS TAKEN.
"But your correspondent is calling for
truth, and if it shows some of the Johnstown
people in an unfavorable light, the men who
distributed the money and sifted the ro
mances related are not sorrv now that tbe
payment was made with such extreme care.
That first payment was the basia of the dis
tribution of $1,600,000, and the records of
those who secured money on the first pay
ment were used as an index to the classifi
cation system which was afterward adopted.
What struck me as a singular phase of the
first payment was the fact that some of those
who asked for money had the hardihood to
deny that they had gotten the per capita of
$10 which went to every man, woman and
child. The printed form for application
contained the following question: 'What
money have you received from other
sources?'
"Despite the fact that through secret or
ders, beneficial societies, and in many per
sonal forms, thousands ot dollars were dis
tributed among Johnstown citizens, it was
very rarely the case thaf any applicant
acknowledged tne receipt of any such sums.
That was one question which baffled investi
gation, for there was no possible way to pin
anyone down to facts without absolnte
knowledge. .
many disteibutions made.
"All sorts of distributions were made dur
ing the first months following the disaster.
The Mayor of St Louis scattered $5,000 in
the place, nearly every secret society in the
country sent money in one way or another,
but it was not heard of extensively in
acknowledgements to the Commission that
such money had been received. The worst
feature of the personal distributions was
that the same old gang of rounders and
camp followers hung around, and cultivated
tatters and hair-raising stories, securing aid
irom sympathetic standpoints and cheating
deserving people out of their real rights.
"There were some cases of barefaced im
posture. One man grew very violent be
cause his cleverly concocted claims were
proven to his face to be bogus, and I was
obliged to threaten him with imprisonment
on the ground of perjury before he subsided.
The scenes of daily occurrence reminded
one of the days of i845 and the Pittsburg
fire. As to the list of losses paid and to
whom there is, Secretary Kremer has in
formed me, a complete record in the hands
of the State Flood Commission. It will
probably be published one of these days.
But I am prepared to deny most emphat
ically that the 'South Fork plan' prevailed
in the Conemaugh "Valley distribution. The
cases are not analogous. Tbe money in the
South Fork case happened to fall into the
hands of men whose looting proclivities
would put Captain Kidd to the blush. In
the general relief plan no monejr was placed
in the hands of citizens for distribution, but
was paid out by the proper officials in the
proper manner""
THE-AMERICUS CLUB.
Farther Action Towards Their Own Home

A. G. Boenigk, from the Club House
Committee, presented a report, in which he
said:
They propose to buy a property to cost ap

tects of plans, without details, at a nominal
cost, but it is impossible to pre-ent the same at
this time. Yonr committee respectfully asks
for authority to proceed upon the plan here

The report was received and the committee
instructed to proceed on the plan proposed.
W. H. Reed presented the following:
Resolved, That we view with regret the
revolutionary action of a minority of the House
of Representatives, whose apparent and
avowed purpose is the obstruction of honest
legislation, and we feel assured that they have
neither tbe sympathy nor respect of the Amer
ican people injtbelr treasonable course. Inas
much as these same tactics, wbtch resulted in
a bloody civil war. were emploved by men of
tbe same school of politics in 1860, we are satis
fied that the experience of the past Is the safe
guard for the future.
Resolved, That the thanks of this club are
due and are hereby tendered the Hon. Thomas
B. Reed for his patriotic fidelity to duty,
which, together with bis splendid equipment
for the position he occupies, have enabled bun
to control, in a constitutional and parliament
ary manner, the disorderly and unpatriotic
element of the Fifty-first Congress.
The resolutions were adopted and ordered
to be sent to Speaker Beed.
The new constitution and bv-laws were
taken up, and, after a long debate, adopted
finally at 11 o'clock. A number of changes
were made, but none of verv great import
ance. The Board of Trustees will hereafter

A FRENCH BANQUET.
The First Pittsburg Dinner With Toasts
Delivered In French.
The first bandqet of the French Circle of
Friendship, composed principally of Bel
gium glassblowers, was held in Odd Fel
lows' Hall, Southside, last night This so
ciety, the organization of which was noted
exclusively in The Dispatch at the time,
was started about two months ago, and has
about 45 members. It was started for the
purpose of educating and elevating the
French citizens of the city, and last night's
gathering was only one of many of the same
character to be provided for the members.
The members were out en masse. Their
were also several invited guests including
Arnold Schneider, the Consular agent of
Belgium, located in Pittsburg, Attorney
Stengel and two or three Southside busi
ness men. Tbe menu is said to be the first
French bill of fare ever presented to a Pitts
burg public. The dinner was served by
members of the society. President Joseph
DuShane acted as toast master and the
following toasts in French were presented:
"The Progress of Pittsburg." by Joseph
Meyer; "The French," by Wm. Weible;
"Tne Bar," by Attorney Stengel; "The
Ladies," by Eugene Vetter; "Language."
by Mr. Arnold Schneider. During the
evening President DuShane was presented
with a neat badge by Oscar Falleur on be
half of the society.
i The French Circle of Friendship holds
fortnightly meetings in Druid's Hall, on the
Southside" Last night's pleasant affair will
no doubt Le the means of adding several
new members to tbe roll.
TROT HILL CARS STRUCK.
Two of Them Smashed Into by Penn Ave
nue Cable Cars.
Two accidents occurred at Sixteenth street
and Penn avenue shortly after 7 o'clock
last evening. Cable car 204, while coming
in from Lawrenceville struck the rear of a
Troy Hill car at the Sixteenth street cross
ing. The latter car was badly broken and
two men, whose names are not known, were
thrown from the platform and severely
oruisea.
A short time afterward another similar
accident occurred at the same place. Cable
car 95 ran into a Troy Hill car and nearly
tore the rear platform off. No one was
injured.
FELL TWENTI FEET.
A Young Man Meets With an Accident at
tbe Grand Army Fair.
A young man named Andrew Morgan

in Allegheny last night. He lost his bal
ance while leaning over the balcony of the
stairway leading to the second floor and fell
to the first story. He was unconscious when
picked up, but"Dr. TJre restored him to his

Increased Travel.
The 5-cent fare order went into effect on
the cable roadi yesterday, and the conse
quence was a large increase in travel. It's
a big thing td" be able to ride five miles ior
5 cents when you can do it in half .an hour.
The change will necessitate putting more
cars on the roads.
THE POLITICAL MILL.
Democratic Primaries and Numerous
Suggestion Meetings.
BAILEI WILL BE THE NOMINEE.
Republican Leaders Rather Pleased With
Their Prospects.
GENERAL APATHY IN TOTING SHOWN.
The Democratic primaries were lastnight
a little more apathetic, if possible" than
those which preceded them for the Bepubli
can candidates. The feeling was regarded
as generally in favor of Judge Bailey as the
mayoralty candidate, and the attendance at
Wednesday's convention in council cham
ber is expected to be large. This is ac
counted for by the few places in which any
votes were cast, and the possibility of mak
ing capital at tbe convention by staying
away from the primaries and appearing as
unpledged delegates.
A call at the County Democracy head
quarters showed a gathering of some 50 of
the faithful awaiting returns. William J.
Brennen, who was present, said that there
were some 139 districts, and returns up to
li P. si. naa Deen received irom tne a irst,
Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth. Sev
enth and Fourteenth wards. He said the
indications were that Judge Bailey received
the indorsement of tbe united Democracy,
considering the interests of the best ele
ments of the Democratic party and the
people in general. He admitted that the
primaries were a mere formality, and all
present coincided that the nominations of
E. S. Morrow and J. S. Denniston for Con
troller and Treasurer, respectively, would
be indorsed by the convention.
Visiting Bepublican headquarters of the
City Executive Committee yesterday, the
mnux ot people ail day long was simply
marvelous. The members of the committee
present from time to time said this was the
first time in the leading week in the cam
paign in which such unanimity was dis
played by the Bepublican party, and such
an adherence to the nominations avowed by
the people visiting.
When tbe fact was stated that it was
almost certain, barring the usual contin
gencies of a Democratic Convention, that
Judge Bailey would be the nominee for
Mayor on the Democratic ticket the general
opinion was given from the people present
that the Bepublican campaign managers
would much prefer Judge Bailey to any
other Democratic candidate. The Graff
Bennett case, combined with the O'Leary-Larkm-Giles
victory or control of the
primaries, and the failing health of the Dem
ocratic nominee, that Gourley's majority
would be a working one in every respect.
Everyone seemed jubilant over the prospects
and certain of the results.
WORKING FOR THE TICKnT.
Republicans of the Thirty-first Ward Will
Fall Together for Victory.
A meeting of the Bepublicans of the
Thirty-first ward was called last night for
suggesting a ward ticket to be voted for at
the primaries, February 8. The meeting
pledged itself not only to support, but
work for the election of the whole Bepubli
can ticket. Besolntions were adopted con
gratulating the Bepnblicans on the nomina
tions made at the recent conventions, and
cordially giving Mr. Gourley the support
due a representative and honest business
man.
Major Joseph F. Denniston and E. S.
Morrow were also made the recipients of
congratulatory resolutions on the integrity
and efficiency with which they had already
filled the positions to which they were
elected, and the axiom was implied that the
best way to hold a good servant was to keep
him at work.
Besolntions were further adopted relative
to the purchase of an engine house site on
Allen avenue and disapproving of Council
man Nisbet's action in the matter. The
following nominations were therefore made:
For Alderman, Charles S. Black; Select
Council, John Eichleay and Andrew Bin
der; Common Council, Louis J. Fritz;
School Directors, Bichard L. Jones and

As this was only a suggestion meeting there
is plenty of time between t his and next
Saturday to get other Bichmonds in the
field.

WON'T INTERFERE THIS TIME.
The L. fc O. and the W. C. T. U. Will Leave
the Granting of Licenses to the Judges
Captain Wlsbart Batl.flcd With Judge
Ewing The Number of Applicants In
creasing Rapidly.
According to the statement of an attorney
who was largely interested in the license
question for the two vears during which the
Brooks law has been in operation he said yes
terday that it was more than probable the
number of licenses granted this year will be
larger than last, as Judge White has per
sonally acknowledged several errors in judg
ment, and moreover that no attorneys would
appear on behalf of either the women's
Christian organizations or the Law and
Order element. The reason for the former
is the isolation of the non-partisan element
of the women's unions from those which be
lieve in working through party lines, and
the non-partisan portion which has hitherto
borne the expense of legal help to diminish
the liquor traffic is not strong enough now
to do so. Therefore any opposition made to
the granting of a license will be made by
special counsel in specific cases.
Captain Wish art has goteither not enough
time, as he says, to attend the restriction of
licenses, or he may have last year had too
much of the exertion, and, recognizing the
fact that Judge Ewing will be on the bench
with Judge Magee in the License Court, is
perfectly satisfied that the best that can be
done in tbe cause of reform will be achieved
by either or both of the judges.
Of course, although it is not generally
known, Judge White will he taken into
consultation this year, as both tbe other
judges were last year on license cases, and
will probably have more power than he will
be credited with by tbe applicants for
license. The absence of attorneys on the
part of the two great opponents of license
will probably account for the fact that a
great number of saloon keepers will not en
gage legal help this year, believing that, as
it failed last year is the great majority of
cases, tne pest motto lor tne saloon Keepers
is ior every tuu 10 stana on its own Dottom.
Clerks of Courts McGunnegle states that
he thinks there will be close to 1,300 appli
cations for license to sell liquor in the
county this year, and he says that frequent
failures have not prevented many old-timers
froui filing requests, not for wholesale, as
was supposed they ould do, but for regu
lar saloon license, though some will content
themselves with an application tor leave to
sell wholesale. There are well up to 700
applications now in, and there is another
week in which to work. Petitions will come
in as usual from all the sections of the
connty formerly represented.
Another peculiar feature of the license
question is the fact that several expectant
Conncilmen aVe expecting to hold licenses
under the next administration of the Brooks
law on payment of $500 for the customary
cbromo setting forth the virtues of tbe pur
chaser as shown by test of the Common
Pleas Court.
Several leading lawyers were consulted
last night on the above possibility, and the
general idea seemed to be that in view of
the fact that no counsel will be retained,
either by the prohibition element or the
Law and Order Society, tne Police Bureau
of the city will be depended upon for in
formation to the Court, which will govern
the granting of licenses. The eligibility,
they said, will totally depend upon tne
records in the last or former years, as
watched by the officers in the various
places, and reported, as it has been done, to
headquarters. The police officials last
night refused to say whether any prohib
itory districts would be mapped out as in
the last session of the License Court, pre
sided over by Judge White.
A Watch at Stake.
W. H. White, of Allegheny, was yester

BOLTING BOSS EULE.
Colored People Eepndiate What They
Call a Set-Up Delegation.
ME. MORTON TO GO TO WASHINGTON
He is a Representative to the National
Colored Convention.
FRANKLIN SCHOOL HOUSE MEETING.
A meeting of colored voters of the Twenty
second Congressional district was held in
the Franklin school house last night for the
purpose of electing four delegates to the
National Colored Convention which meets
in Washington, D. C, to-morrow, the ob
ject of which is to provide for the harmon
izing of colored voters generally, so that they
may be able to act unitedly on questions af
fecting their interest and secure legislation
that will protect their right to the franchise
in tbe 'Southern States.
James T. Braxton presided, and Isaac
Morton stated the object of the meeting, as
above noted, and also said it was the inten
tion to have the delegates to the convention
petition Congress to make September 22 a
national holiday to commemorate the eman
cipation proclamation issued by President
Lincoln on that day. Mr. Morton stated
that there was no nationality represented in
the United States tbat did not have some
great distinctive day to celebrate, except
the African race, and that was an
event iully as important for his race
to remember as is the Fourth of July, or
any other day now celebrated. Mr. Morton
then stated his objection to certain colored
people whom he styled self-constituted
leaders of the colored people hereabouts,
setting themselves to speak for all without
regard to whether they might be indorsed or
not. These people, Mr. Morton said, he
would not name, as all knew whom he meant,
but he
BEPUDIATED XHEIE ACTIOS
in ignoring the choice of the colored people,
and annotating without authoritr James C.
Delptiy, Bichard Keyes, J. M. Foster, Ajax
Jones and Broadax Smith delegates to to
morrow's convention. He had been
offered credentials as a delegate, but
he did not want them unless he had
backing from the people of this Con
gressional district interested.
Mr. Morton exhibited a letter from Con
gressman Dalzell in which he promised to
use his utmost endeavors to secure the
setting apart ot September 22 as a national
holiday, and conclnded by urging the meet
ing to do what ever it might see fit with a
purpose unselfish and single to the bene
fit of the race and not individuals.
John Bov said tbis was a time for every
well-meaning and honest colored man to so
on record. The question as to rights of the
colored people is taking shape, and it is
possible that a redress of grievances may now
be had. Certain would-be leaders wish to
take upon themselves to say what the col
ored people of tbe Twentv-second Congres
sional district need without consultation
with them, and he thought it time these
people be given to understand that they did
not speak for all. They should no longer
be allowed to loaf around political head
quarters posing as the only people compe
tent to speak for colored voters. An effort
had been made by some to prevent the suc
cess of this meeting, but it must not win.
In conclusion Mr. Boy nominated Mr. Mor
ton ior delegate to the convention.
MOETOIT WAS ELECTED.
A motion to elect Morton passed without
a negative vote, and James O Neill was
elected alternate.
Chairman Braxton spoke briefly, deplor
ing the loss of spirit which allowed a few
self-constituted leaders to arrogate to them
selves all the intelligence of the resident
people of color. It had almost destroyed his
interest in pnblic affairs, and he congratu
lated the meeting on the independence which
refused to acknowledge the credentials made
by a cabal no one knew where or bow. If
colored people were to exhibit more inde
pendence of these men they would tare bet
ter as well as command more respect. Such
men as bad marred Friday night's meeting
should be given back seats on the stools of
repentance until they had brought forth
meet fruits to show reformation.
The meeting decided that while the call
was for four delegates to be elected that
such number was unwise, as one would
answer the purpose just as well at one
fourth the expenditure of money, so Mr.
Morton will eo alone, so far as last night's
action is concerned.
In conclusion, Mr. Morton was called on
to acknowledge the honor done him in his
selection, and he did it felicitously. In his
peroration he reminded the meeting that,
although Christopher Columbus was en
titled to everlasting gratitude in discover
ing more elbow room, yet a great many peo
ple had been born since 1492, and it was
time that some of them got recognition also.
Crashed by a Cable Car.
Joseph Young, aged 37 years, while cross
ing the street at Twenty-eighth street and
Penn avenue last night, was struck by a
cable car and run over. His foot was se
verely crushed and several scalp wounds
were inflicted. The injured man was re
moved to his home on Thirty-seventh street.
Allegheny Policemen Joyful.
Allegheny Police Committee met last
night and approved the pay-roll of the
police department, which amounts in the
aggregate to nearly $ 7,000. As police funds
are exhausted, the money will have to be
borrowed. Mayor Pearson has made arrange
ments to that end.

WARDEN BERLIN'S REQUEST.
Hs Asks the Prison Board for Two Addl
tlonal Jail Keepers.
The regular meeting of the County Prison
Board was held yesterday afternoon. In
order to meet the increase in the number of
prisoners, Warden Berlin asked for tha
assistance of two extra men, one for the day
and one for the night relief. In support of
bis request the warden submitted a state
ment showing the number of prisoners
handled at thejailduringtbepast three years.
For 1887 he showed 5,316 prisoners received,
with an average daily maintenance of 137;
for 1888, 5,840 prisoners, with an average
of 165 maintained daily; in 1889, 7,007 pris
oners, an average maintained per day of
190. Since he went into office, ve years
ago, in spite of the increase in work, there
has been an increase of but one man to his
force. The force now consists oftwo men on
day watch in the cells, two men on night
watch in the cells and the Warden and
Deputy Warden, six in all.
Coroner McDowell approved the request,
calling attention to the recent suicides in
the jail. The request was referred to tha
quarterly committee. The warden notified
the board of his appointment of Mr. Sofiel
as deputy warden. It was referred to the
quarterly committee.
The affairs of the committee for the quar
ter were laid over nntil the regular meeting
one month hence.
