tbe prospects for the citizens' candidate
proving Mr. Schaefer's political undertaker
prew more and more formidable. Those in
charge of the polling places in the ward
said that all kinds of sacrifices were made
to advance the aldermanic fight One man
-who had $300 up on Schaeler told some of
his fellow workers at 10 o'clock that he was
going to look for McGinty. They hadn't
heard of him at 4- When it was announced
that Beinhaner was elected by 200 majority
the latter's iriends secured a band and the
ward was painted red.
In the Thirty-firs: ward the contest be
tween Kisbet and Binder for Select Council
was the only one that aroused any interest.
mLM
Ex-Judge Bailev. Who Couldn't Make
the Riffle.
It was a peculiar fight one that kept both
sides guessing all day. On Monday night
the entire ward had been flooded with both
Nisbet and Binder tickets. As a conse
quence nearly everybody appeared at the
polls yesterday and voted without saying a
word to anyone. The worters had nothrng
to do, and it was impossible to tell how the
vote was going. The only unusual occur
rence of the day was the appearance of a
man who offered $10 to $2 on Gonrley. He
found several takers and then he disap
peared. The fight in the Twenty-seventh ward,
which is distinctivelv Democratic, was also
pretty hot between "Wallace and Hartman
for Alderman. There was no disorder, how
ever, reported anywhere. There was not
even any great amount of drinking done
until all the work had been done and the
victorious hustlers gottogether for the usual
jubilees.
FDN IN THE FIRST.
Jill the Excitement Centered la One Ward
Many Challencrs, Few Arrests, bnt
Any Amount of HnjtllnK No Way of
Gnesslnc at All.
The progress of the municipal election in
Pittsburg was characterized by a greater
amount of hustling and a smaller amount of
incidents than at any previous election. A
larger vote was polled in many wards than
was shown at the last Presidental election,
and the ward worker; at the various pre
cincts confessed their inability to give
figures, owing to the manner in which each
man who could not be questioned handed in
bis vote folded and declined to state bow he
stood.
The Fourth ward fight for Council was
simplified by the withdrawal of Sir. Wilson
early in the afternoon, although a number of
votes had already been cast for him.
The First ward had all the fun and most
of the excitement of the day, the manner in
which votes were being challenged being
indignantly resented by the challenged.
This led tomany altercations, none of which,
however, resulted in any harm to the parties
interested.
There were less arrests yesterday than on
any previous one iu this city, which may be
taken as an evidence either that the public
peace was better preserved or the necessity
for getting every vote polled stronger than
ever before.
ORDERS TO THE POLICE.
The Bnrean of Police Finced on Record as
to Political Work Tbo Doty of a FoIIce
mnn to Keep Order, Not to Electioneer.
At the meeting of the police captains and
lieutenants yesterday morning Chief Brown,
of the Department of Public Safety, said to
the assembled representatives ot the police
force: "Gentlemen, I know that you may
have your personal preferences as to candi
dates, but I want you distinctly to under
stand that the duty of the police is to pre
serve order and to make the public under
stand that you are there for that purpose.
Whether yon vote or not is not my business,
but no man will be deprived of his right to
vote, and the officers who wished to go to
their various polls should have liberty to do
so. providing their places should be filled
properly."
There was no roll call at the Central sta
tion last night, on account of the iact that
the men had been on dnty so long and bad
covered the criminal duty so well that they
were held for the same work in continuous
service, and they went out gruuiblingly, but
with alacrity, to handle the beats.
A peculiar feature of tbe election busi
ness yesterday was the fact that some 15 or
20 officers could not get out to deposit their
votes. The iact was that they were placed
on special duty far away from the places
where they vote, so of course they could not
attend the polls.
A WARD W0EKBK TICT1MIZED.
A Colored Leader on the Hill Knns Afbnl
of Bailev Plumpers.
A colored Gourley worker in the Eighth
ward was victimized to an extent by one of
"the unternned" yesterday. He was busily
engaged in bringing recruits to the polls and
assisting them with straight, out tickets.
when a guileless looking individual ap
proached him, inquiring for Gourley tickets,
of which he wanted a number. He was ac
commodated with alacrity, but returned in
a moment with the remark that he had
lound sufficient in his own pockets for his
requirements, at the same time handing
back tbe bunch which he had before re
ceived. The colored "roper-in" had handed out at
least a dozen of these before he discovered
that the returned tickets were headed
"Bailey."
THE CANDIDATES AND LEADEES.
Jadge Bailey Gave Up, bnt Mayor Gourley
Came and Smiled Numerously.
Candidate Bailey gave up the fight early
in tbe evening and retired at the Central
Hotel, leaving the most positive orders that
he was not to be disturbed. Mayor Gourley
was on deck early at Republican bead
quarters and :a most expansive smile
wreathed his features as a sweltering con
stituency pressed forward to pump-handle
him. Director General Flinn sat on a table
and swung his legs in the air. He was
highly pleased, as anyone conld see by the
twinkle in his bright blue eyes.
And so the great fight closed, and the
Gibraltar of .Republicanism had remained
true to the regular nominee of the majority
party.
UP IN THE COCKLOFT.
The Usual Crowd There, bnt Tbej Were
Terr Soon fatiaOrd.
The fire alarm office was as usual at election
times well filled last night by people anxious
not alone to hear the news, but also to place it
on record in their minds as precedents for
future contests. There were present William
Flinn, Chris Magee, R. C. Elliott, W. H. Mc
Cleary and, in f act, ail the old-timers on the
straight Republican ticket.
The returns were readout piece by piece, but
wben the pieces fitted Into one another In the
best worked Mayoralty contest ever inflicted
upon a Pittsburg public the reception of tbe
results was all that could be expected in enthu
siasm. Cheers upon cheers were given upon
the announcement by C. L. Magee that Mr.
Gourley was the nominee and the elected can.
didate of the Republican party, and wtien the
flcuring showed the majority to go into the
thousands interest was lost in the qnestlon and
the crowd withdrew.
WHO' THE MEN ARE.
The Records of Gonrley, Morrow and Den.
nlston Tbo New Mayor Was Once a
School Teacher The Other Two Were
Born In Plitsbarc.
Henry I. Gourley, the new Mayor of
Pittsburg, was born in Juniata county in
1838. He came to this city when fi years
old, and has been a resident ever since. He
was educated at the Eldersrldce Academy. In
1S63 he was elected principal of the Grant
School, and held the position for eight years.
In 1S76 he represented the Seventh ward in
Select Council, and served continuously until
1SSS, when he was legislated out of office. For
nine years be was Chairman of Select Council,
and was elected eight times without opposition.
He is at present in the booK business on Market
street.
Eustace S. Morrow, who is his own successor
as City Controller, is well and favorably known
in Pittsbure. He was born here, and while a
young man, studied law with John Barton
and George P. Hamilton. In 1862 he was
elected clerk to Select Council, and Alderman
of the Sixth ward in 1863. In 1873 he was
elected Citv Clerk, continuing in that office un
til 1881, when be was elected City Controller.
He has held that position since, and no finer
compliment could be paid to his integrity and
ability. .
Joseph F. Denniston. like Controller Mor
row, was first elected Citv Treasurer in 18S1,
and he has been re-elected without opposition.
He was born in Pittsburg, and lost his right
leg and the use of his right arm while serving
his country. For gallant and meritorious con
duct at Reaves' station, he was breveted major.
He is a popular man, and bis election for the
iounn time is a source oi graancauon.
MR, G0DELET YEEI HAPPY.
He Feels Keenly the Compliment Paid Him
by His Fellow Citizen.
Henry I. Gonrley was seen last night after
his calling and election was made sure.'and he
said: "I would rather not make any public an
nouncements just now. I feel so keenly the
compliment which bas been paid me by to-day's
election that I can say but little to make it
known to the people of the city how I appre
ciate their kindness in placing me in so respon
sible a position.
i nat tnis election nas Deen one oi me most
spirited, as well as the quietest, which has ever
been held in Pittsburg, is the highest testimony
ever offered to the effects ot the good gov
ernment afforded by the party of which I am
proud to be a member. Heretofore, the arrests
on election day have been numerous, bnt the
earnest work done yesterday showed that peo
ple who had the right to vote were engaged in
looking after the interests of good city govern
ment. "I do not know what the majority will be, nor
am I keeping track as to the numbers, but all X
have ambition for Is to be able to serve the
people of Pittsburg as faithfully as they have
clung to me in the recent struggle for the
Mayoralty."
A MULTITUDE OF VOUCHERS.
No Trouble to Secure Men to Swear That
a Toler Was All Risht.
Up in the Sixth warn Gourley voters had no
trouble securing vouchers to swear for them.
One man, who is a stranger, but was entitled
to a vote, having been a resident of the ward
for over a year, wanted to put in his ballot,
but was challenged at one of tbe polling places.
One well-known citizen of tbe ward volun
teered to vouch for the voter, although he had
known him but a little while over a month. Tbe
voucher took the voter's statement that he had
lived in tbe precinct 60 days, and upon this in
formation be made oath that be was all right.
The voter smiled to himself and said nothing.
CARLISLE WILL SPEAK EASI.
Tbe Alderman Did Not Get One Tote in the
Fonrtb Precinct.
When the news came in from the Twenty
second ward, there was a shout sent np from
the populated "cockloft" that almost took tbe
dome off City HalL This is the ward where
Alderman Carlisle was running for re-election.
A special effort was made by tbe opponents of
the Law and Order Society to "do np" Carlisle
on account of bis record in this regard.
D. J. Black was put np against Carlisle. The
former received 207 votes to the latter's 74. In
tbe Fourth precinct Carlisle did not receive one
vote.
A NEWSBOY'S NEWS.
The Democratic Headquarters in His Charge
and His Knowledge Small.
The Democratic headquarters about 10 P. M.
were occupied by an air of desolation and a
newsboy, who informed The Dispatch re
porter that be was running the Institution in
the absence of T. O'Leary, Jr., A T. Keating.
John Ennis, John Giles and the other Demo
cratic dignataries.
No particulars could be obtained, as none ot
tbe people who conducted the campaign could
be found after the returns came in.
A GOURLEI BONFIRE
That Had lo be Extinguished bv Ibe Use of
Hose to Save Property.
Early last evening a party of enthusiastic
Gonrley men started a big bonfire in the mid
dle of Fountain street, attracting a crowd of
several hundred persons.
The crowd piled up boxes and barrels on the
fire to such an extent that tbe fire became dan
gerous. Lieutenant Boyd came upon the scene
and securing a hose to the fire ping, extin
guished the fire, alter which the crowd was
dispersed.
O'DONNELL DEFEATED.

Jut am a Precnation.
Tbe big bell at City Hall was connected np
with the fire alarm yesterday morning, as well
as the bells in the other districts, so that In
case of a blaze tbe firemen who were ont at the
polls would be notified. Fortunately the pre
caution was unnecessary, for no alarms were
sent In.
Polillcnl Aftermnth.
Ik the Eighth ward Squire Bell was re
elected Alderman by a vote of 539 to 323 for
Knowland.
Ex-Building Inspector Fbank, of the

was in the Sixth ward, where A H. Mercer was
elected to Common Council to succeed C. C
Steffen, resigned.
It reported last night that Ajax Jones would
not be a candidate for messenger to tbe next
Mayor. Ajax could not be found to corrobor
ate tbe rumor.
Probably the closest Councilmanlc contest
was in tbe Tenth ward, where James Foster,
Republican, defeated tho present incumbent,
R. J. Hazlett, Democrat, by 1 vote.
The Twenty-sixth ward kept up its reputa
tion of preventing everybody from knowing
how it goes until the votes are counted. It
fooled Mr. Rublandt badly yesterday.
WnEif 'Squire Schaefer was asked yester
day afternoon what he thought his chances
were for re-election, be said: 'llt's very close'
It wasn't so close when the votes were counted.
A February Thnader Storm.
A thunder storm was one of the features of
election day. It passed over a portion of the
city about S A. at and was accompanied by
vivid lightning aud a heavy fall of rain.
Strange to say, some parts of tba city were not
even touched by tbe passing shower.
A HEW ROAD LAW.
Three Property Owner In Each Township
to be In Chnrge 'An Interesting- afiper
Read Before the Engineer. Society
The Farmers Will Not Work Ont Their
Taxes.
In the absence of the regular officers at
the meeting of the Engineers' Society last
night W. G. Wilkins took the chair and T.
P. Boberts acted as Secretary. Hr. A. Demp
ster read a report of the Harrisburg conven
tion, which he attended as a delegate in
company with T. P. Boberts and Daniel
McCargo. The convention did little more
than decide that the present road laws were
no good, and ought to be changed.
Following this he read a paper on public
roads. He began by saying that he would not
tell how goodroads could be made, but would
devote his attention to considering bow to
bring about such a state of affairs that would
make the construction of good roads possible.
He said that the first object to be accomplished
was to have a good road law passed. The great
barrier to this will be the prejudice and short
sigbtedness of the farmers. By the present
law not more than one-half the amount repre
sented bv the tax duplicate Is spent on the
roads. The other half represents the time
spent in "resting" by the farmers who "work
out" their road taxes. Another evil of the
E resent system is that the supervisor is allowed
all control in his township. He generally
manages to spend as little ot the cash receipts
as possible for road purposes, and takes care of
them himself In the shape of a "retainer for
his services." ,,
Mr. Dempster then explained the principal
points in a new law proposed by the committee
of the Engineers' Society to reform the exist
ing evus. it provides lor tne election oi tnree
property owners in each township and a town,
ship engineer, wbo shall have charge of the
roads and road taxes in each township. The
law defipes their duties, which are such that, if
carried out, the roads in the State will be
greatly improved.
MISSOURI KATES BROKEN.
The Railroad War Extending All Over the
Western Country.
The representatives of the Western railroads
in this city were thrown into a panic yesterday
morning by tbe announcement of a break in
Missouri iron rates. Simultaneous with the
announcement came a notice ot a cut of seven
cents per 100 pounds on iron and steel ship;
ments.
The Chicago. Bock Island and Pacific was
tbe first road to make an announcement of the
cut, ana all forenoon General Agent Hall was
kept busy sending telephone messages to his
customers. Contracting Agent Koch was also
rushed hektographing notices of the reduction.
The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy road also
got out notices in good time of tbe reduction.
The following are tbe new rates from Chi
cago. They are In classas. 60, SO. 35, 25, 18; class
A. 25. 20, 15, 14 and 13 cents per hundred pounds.
Before the cut they were 75. 60, 40, 30. 25. 30, 25.
20, 17 and 16. Thetiew figures from the Mis
sissippi river are 40, 30, 25, 20. 18, 17&. 12K. 10, 9
aud 8 cents.
The cut in the MissonrI river rates com
pletely paralyzes all Western tariffs. The rates
to Texas points are also broken on nails, and it
is probable that the break will extend to all
classes of freight.
!
EAILR0AD CHANGES.
Tbe Cotton Belt Houte Slakes Some
Im-
provementn Along the Line.
Tbe "Cotton Belt Route," which has an office
in this city, has been making a number of
changes and improvements along the line of its
railroad throngh Texas. New and large iron
works are in course of erection at New Birming
ham, to develop and workup the iron ore mines
in the vicinity. A Lebanon, Pa., firm has the
contract for the buildings. It is said the es
tablishment of these works will effect Pitts
burg's trade in some respects, as the operators
are located in St. Louis, and as that city bas np
to tbe present time bandied considerable of
onr productions the Texas mills may now cap
ture some of that trade.
Tbe management of tbe road has also been
materially changed. D. Miller, formerly Gen
eral Freight and Passenger Aeent, has been ap
pointed to a newly created office, styled "Gen
eral Traffic Manager," and the office formerly
held by him 'has ben divided. L. F. Day,
formerly Assistant General Freight Agent at
Forth Worth, will hereafter control the freight
department andE. W. La Beamme tne other.
The rate war in Texas and the Northwest still
continues to be warm.
A FLINT GLASS STRIKE.
Tho Union Men at Now Brighton Went Ont
to Reinstate Others.
Tho employes of the Hobo Glassworks, at
New Brighton, are ont on a strike for the rein
statement of a number of men who were dis
charged by a new foreman.
No notice of the strike was received at tbe
office of the American Flint Glass Workers'
Union, and the information was obtained from
one of the strikers who was in the city. Some
time ago a change of managers was made at tbe
plant. The manager who was let out was well
liked by tbe men. and the latter presented him
with an elegant gold chain. It is stated that
the superintendent got angry at this, aud put
in a manager named Irwin, who was distasteful
to the employes. It is alleged that tho superin
tendent used tbe manager to discharge tbe men
who had presented tbe old manager with the
testimonial. He admitted that be discharged
them for this reason, and the men went out.
They are all members of local union No 40.
SMALL WELLS WILL PAY.
Quarter Barrel Ones Profitably Pumped In
the Franklin District.
Oil producers in the Franklin lubricating oil
district have gotten the business down to a
science. Mr. John M. Dunn, who bas been up
French creek lately, states that a series of
wells miles In length is connected by sucker
rods, and they are pumped by power furnished
by one turbine wheel. Some of these wells
produce but about ten gallons a day, while
some of the largest yield 250 gallons apiece. It
is thought that wben all the oil districts of the
country are, in common parlance, played out,
this combination system of pumping them will
come into general use, and that there will not
be very much diminution in the annual pro
duction. The day for the exhaustion of the surplus
seems about as far off as it has been at any
time previously. All wells in tbe old fields will
be cleaned out, and even a one-barrel well will
be made pay for working.
NEWS FOR CHARTIER8.
The Talcan Iron Works to be Pat In Opera
tion Soon.
Before leavine last evening to attend the
Frank-Quay nuptials Jr E. McKelvey. Esq.,
forwarded to Harrisburg an application for a
charter for a company to operate tbe Vulcan
Iron Works at Chartiers station, Pittsburg and
Lake Erie Railway. Mr. McKelvey would not
name the corporators, bnt he said that, while
they were not numerous, tbey had an abun
dance of money and would run tbe works to
their full capacity, and of course it times con
tinue good, or the situation justify it, capacity
will be enlarged, there being ample ground
room.
From an outside source it was learned that
the mill will ba run in tbe Interest of Hnbbard
& Co. to supply ax iron for tbe Beaver Falls
factory. It was stated that tbe purchase of
tbo mill was made in the interest of Hubbard
4 Co.
AFTER THE P. & W. KOAD.
An Inventory of the Lino Prepared for the
B. t O. People.
Second Vice' President Thomas M. King
slipped Into the city quietly, yesterday after
noon, held a consultation 'with Superintendent
Patton. and then stole away to tbe West In the
evening. While hero Mr. King examined an
inventory of the Pittsburg and Western road,
which bad been prepared. Vice President Or
land Smith was also in tbe city yesterday, but
he attended the coal meeting.
The general impression seems to prevail
among railroad men that it won't be long be
fore the P. & W. will be in tbe bands of the B.
& O. That such a deal is on foot 1b believed by
many. Mr. King is always mum, and be was
no exception to the rule yesteruay. With the
P. & W. and the Valley the B. A O. would have
a good line to tbe lakes.
THEIR JOBS DECLARED TACANT.
President Welhe Advises Men to Tnke the
Places of Strikers.
President Weibe, of the Amalgamated Asso
ciation, has declared tbe jobs of tbe strikers at
Sboenberger's mill vacant If they do not re
turn to work to-day, tbe association will allow
other men to take tbe strikers' places.
Some of tbe dissatisfied men returned to
work yesterday morning, and ten beats were
run out. It was the intention to run the mill
on night turn, but enough men could not be
secured to enable the firm to do this. It is ex
pected that additional men Will be secured to
day, and by reason of refusing to return to
work the strikers forfeit their positions.

Exciting Scenes at the Receiving of Returns
at City HalL
THE MAIOR-ELECr RETURNS THANES
James O. Wyman was elected Mayor of
Allegheny by a majority of about 1,000.
He carried 9 of the 13 wards, losing the

and called for order about twice a minute.
The Mayor's office was densely packed with
people. The outer office was fall and large
numbers of men stood about the steps and in
the yard. The crowd inside was so large
"and the men and boys were so closely packed
together that it was impossible to keep them
quiet.
RETURNS CAME IK EARLY.
Keturns began to arrive about 7 o'clock.
It looked like Wyman irom the start, and
within an hour his friends felt sure that he
was elected. Comparison between yester
day's figures and the vote between Wyman
and Swan, in 1881, showed that Wyman
was gaining in nearly every precinct The
Wyman men predominated in the crowd,
and yelled lustily at every iavorable an
nouncement. There were some Stayton
men, however, and they cheered the few re
turns favorable to him.
About 10 o'clock there was a great deal of
Mr. Stayton, Who Didn't Quite Get There.
pushing and confusion in the crowd, and a
man called out that his watch had been
stolen. Two officers pushed into the throng,
but could not settle upon a pickpocket.
One fellow, who seemed to be doing most of
the pushing, was ejected from the building.
EARLY CONTENTED.
At 10.30 all precincts were in but eight, the
lights were turned down and the men crowded
out to the yard, where they lingered talking.
At 11 o'clock a cheer went up at one of the
yard gates. It went through the crowd to tbe
City Hall steps and rolled into the Mayor's of
fice. Mr. Wyman bad appeared. Lights were
turned on, ana tbe Mayor's small office was
again crowded to suffocation. Mr. Wyman
carefully looked over tbe returns, while the
pushing and sweating citizens were cheering
and yelling for a speech. Finally be took off
his hat and stood up inside the raUing. He was
given three ringing cheers, and then said:
"Friends and gentlemen: I have not mnch
to say to-night, I a very thankful to each and
every one oi yon lor your Kina support to-day.
I am not well to-night and ought to be in bed.
All I can say is. Thanks: and that speaks from
the heart. Good-night.''
Then be went home.

Allegheny Police Interested In tbe Ex
Mayor's Welfare President Hunter, of
Common Councils, n Hostler far Mr.
Stnyton A Big Tots bnt a Quiet Onr.
An election with fewer incidents has sel
dom, if ever, been held in Allegheny City.
iUo fights acdv few quarrels were reported
from the 72 precincts. A large vote was
cast, and the polls were thronged with ticket
peddlers and workers. The features of the
day were tbe large Republican vote cast for
Staytou and the Democratic votes for Wy
man. Both candidates, traversed the city in
bnggieSjVisiting every poll in the 13 wards.
Mr. Wyman was best provided with
workers at the polls. He had two and three
ticket peddlers in every precinct, while in
many Mr. Stayton had only one man. The
members of the police department were, as a
rule, working for Wyman, while, strange to
relate, many of the officials and employes in
the other departments were out working for
Mr. Stayton. In the Second ward alone James
Hunter. President of Common Council, and
James Bradley, tbe Health Officer, were nut
for Stayton. Similar instances occurred in
other wards. This led many of Mr. Wyman's
supporters to complain that the "City Hall
ring" was doing Its best to elect Mr. Stayton.
In tho First ward there lras a decided pre
ponderance of Wyman workers. Mr. Wyman
formerly lived in that ward, only three doors
distant from the poll of the Second district, on
Robinson , street. In tbe First ward
great interest was aroused -by tbe struggle be
tween Edward L. Braun and Thomas M.Tatem,
for Alderman. In each district there were
workers who paid attention only to that con
test. Alderman Tatem had bis posters up at
all the polls, but none were visible for Mr.
Braun. '
All the polls in the city were surrounded by
crowds ot workers There were general state
ments by the old political workers that they
could not tell much about the voting. There
was said to be a great deal of cross-scratching
and much "vest-pocket votlne."
The special work of the old soldiers was not
apparent during the day. They did not make
themselves conspicuous, except those that
stood to peddle tickets for Mr. Stayton. The
veterans, as a rnle. went quietly' to the voting
window, cast their ballots, and departed. No
special activity by the firemen was noticeable
in Allegheny.

Tbe election in McKeesport was the hottest

Party lines governed It, but were cast aside in
the voting. Thomas Tilbrook, Republican, was
elected Burgess by 33 majority: Jacob Euerett,
Tax Collector, by several hundred. James E.
Patterson was elected Councilman by 10 ma

SHE WASN'T A SUFEEREB.
Hofr n Slonongabela Miner's Wife Got a
Sqnare Meal Through a Mistake.
During the exciting days ot the Johnstown
flood many amusing as well as pathetic inci
dents occurred. A reporter heard a story tbe
other day told by an East End lady that is
worth repeating. The noble, heroic ladies of
Pittsburg who did so mnch in caring for the
wants of the unfortunate sufferers sometimes
allowed their enthusiasm to cloud their percep
tion, and mistakes were made.
One afternoon at the Union depot a forlorn
looking woman was sighted by tbe guard of
ladies placed at the station wbo were looking
for flood victims. With kindness well meant,
but not appreciated, tbey approached the
woman and hustled her off to a church down
town to get her something to eat. The female
was frightened, but managed to protest that
she wasn't hungry, but the ladles only laughed
and told her not to be so modest, when the
woman was brought into tho church she was so
badly scared she didn't know what she was
doing, but the dear girls in charge literally
forced her into a chair, and fed her with tbe
choicest dainties. After the woman had re
covered somewhat from her surprise, and began
to see that the young Amazons had only the
best of designs in filling her stomach, and ber
life was not in danger, she began to laugh.
Then tbe kind ladies discovered that the poor
woman was tbe wife of a Monongabela miner,
and sho was at the depot waiting for her bus
band. She was not indignant; though tbe
miner was wild, and thought he had lost his
wife. When mutual explanations were made,
tbe joke was appreciated, though the enthusi
astic young ladies didn't care to be jibed about
the mistake by the elderly matrons.

George W. Oliver Talks About Quay's Mrs
sage to tbe Senate.
Senator Quay's message to the Senate to
have tho nomination of George W. Oliver, Mr.
Dalzell's Census Supervisor, hung up for a few
days, reported in yesterday's Dispatch, caused
considerable comment in political circles yes
terday. There were various reasons set forth
for Quay's action. It was known that he had
been opposed all along to a division of the dis
trict, or, it he submitted to a division as a com
promise, be wanted his candidate to have the
Pittsbnrg end of tbe district. At all events,
Mr. Quay's action is looked upon as meaning a
bitter war between the two factions.
Mr. Oliver was seen last night by a Dispatch
reporter, but he declined to say much abont
the affair. "I consider that it would be very
indelicate," said he, "in me, to talk at this
time. My name was presenteo. oy rrcsiueni
Harrison, at the suggestion of my friends,
without my knowledge, and it would be highly
improper for me to express an opinion as to
Mr. Quay's action. I had no intimation that
sucb a step would be taken until I read THE
Dispatch, and of course conld not know what
Mr. Quay's object was In hanging me up."

CLAIMS OP THE THIN VEIN MEN.
Lott Prices for Thick Coal Knocking Ont
Their Western Trade.
A KNOTTY PBOBLEM FOE BAILE0ADS
With freight men from the local railroads
as judges and the coal operators in the
Pittsburg district as pleaders, a rather novel
court scene was enacted in the Benshaw
bnilding, yesterday, at the 40-mile radius
discussion. The freight agents were seated
in a row at one end of the building, and all
the arguments were directed to them.
Among those who acted ns the judges were
General Freight Agent Stewart and Assist
ant General Freight Agent C. L. Cole,
of the Pennsylvania Company; Vice Presi
dent Orland Smith, General Freight Agent
C. S. Wright and Division Freight Agent
T. W. Galleber, of the Baltimore
and Ohio; General Freight Agent Joyce,
of the Pennsylvania Railroad; General
Freight Agent Frank Dean, of the Lake
Erie; General Freight Agent Cromlish, of
the Pittsburg aud Western; Division
Freight Agent Means, of the Panhandle,
and F. R. McKay and George McCauge, of
the Lake Shore, in fact all the local roads
were represented on tbe bench.
The question involved is tbe rednction of
the 40-iniIe'radius, and the issue is between
tbe thick and thin coal men. The thin coal
operators want the limit drawn at what they
claim is the geological line, meaning by that
the boundary in tbe district where tbe veins
pass from tnin to thick.
AN ADVANTAGE CLAIMED.
The thin vein operators assert that the thick
vein men, by reason of a sliding scale and nat
ural advantages, are able to prodnce coal at
from 25 to 38 cents per ton cheaper than the
thin vein operators, while the freight rates for
both are the same, thus placing the thin vein
people at a disadvantage in tbe market.
At tbe meeting yesterday afternoon it must
be admitted the thin vein operators had the
best of tbe argument, their opponents relying
more on bluff and severe crost-uuestioninc.
which amounted to little. Tbe discussion was
always interesting and at times spirited. W.
P. De Armitt and Alexander Dempster made
tbe principal arguments in favor of reducing
the limit, and Messrs. Courtney. Osborne and
Bayne appearedtn tbe main for tbe other side.
A slight squall was created when Ed Murphy,
of Bigley it Murphy, cbarged Mr. Blythe, of
the Sbaner Coal Company, with acting no
honorable part in getting him to sign a cer
tain petition on tbe former's representations.
It appears that Mr. Blytbe started out as a
advocate of rednction, but at the meeting he
appeared on the other side, and Mr. Murphy
scored him roundly. Mr. Blytbe, in answer,
claimed that Mr. Murphy had misunderstood
him, and the matter dwindled down to a ques
tion of memory in the statement of facta be
tween the two gentlemen.
Mr. Murphy, who favors reducing the limit,
said at tbe close of tbe conference that he
didn't think anything would be done. He was
afraid the railroad men would listen and con
sider, and then drop the subject, leaving the
limit as it now stood.
DEPENDS OUT THE BAILBOADS.
Mr. De Armitt said he hadn't any idea what
would be done. He had presented his side of
the case, and tbe question was in the hands of
tbe railroad men. If the limit is not changed he
said the thin coal operators would have to close
down their1 mines aud go into the thick vein
district. There is no other solution to the diffi
culty, so far as he could see, and the point at
lssne is whether tbe capital invested In tbe
thin vein mines is to be protected or not.
In his argument for reducing tbe limit Mr.
De Armitt said that $20,000,000 in capital was
invested in thin vein mine, and it was put in
with the understanding that the railroads
would protect the money. He asked the roads
to make the thick vein operators outslue of the
proposed limit pay 20 cents per ton. This, he
thought, would put all persons interested on a
competing basis. West Newton and Port Royal
have beensucgested as the limits on tbe Balti
more and Ohio and Pittsburg, Virginia and
Charleston.
Mr. Walker, for the thick vein men, held that
the thin vein coal was by all odds the ten, and
commanded a better price in the market. He
claimed that it was the Hocking Valley coal
that was the serious competitor. At tbe Pitts
burg mines coal is loaded on the cars for $1 per
ton. The thick vein coal costs 85 cents. In addi
tion tbe Pennsylvania Company charges 5 cents
per ton extra on tbe thick coal. He held that
the difference in cost, therefore, was not more
than 5 to 10 cents per ton, and he claimed that
the superior quality of the thin vein coal would
more than make up for the difference.
MB. DE AEMITT'S CLAIM.
On tbe other hand Mr. DeArmitt said the
market price was fixed by the thick coal opera
tors, and he read a number of letters to show
that the thick coal was knocking ont tbe thin
coal. Tbe general tendency was toward the
cheaper article, even if it is inferior and the
menace was so great that unless the railroads
came to their rescne and equalized freight
rated they would be forced to close down their
mines.
-Of tbe railroad men Colonel Orland Smith ap
peared to be the most interested, and he asked
many questions. He tried to find ont in what
proportion tbe tbick vein coal was replacing the
thin vein article in tbe market. Mr. Murray
testified that be had seen great quantities of
tbick vein coal loaded at Cleveland, bnt he
couldn't tell where it came from, and on this
point the other men were silent. Mr. Dempster
said they could not say to what extent their
business was injnred, bnt he knew they were
unable to compete against the present unequal
ireignt rates.
Mr. Osborne, representing the thick coal con
tingent, offered a motion that witbin a abort
time each operator within tbe radius furnish
tbe railroad with a detailed statement ot the
cost of production, including royalty, wages,
taxes, etc., and the amount of coal shipped
within tbe last tbree years; The thin coal men,
being in the majority, tabled tho motion indefi
nitely. SOME INSIDE FACTS.
In the conrse of tbe arguments some rather
pertinent questions were asked about the in
side workings of the various companies. Mr.
Courtney said the New York and Cleveland.
Coal Company had shipped 600,000 tons in the
last year. The Pennsylvania road is willing to
make a 30-mile radius, but this will close out
some of the Lake Erie mines, and unless tbey
are taken in the latter road will vote nay.
Even at the proposed limit some mines will ba
left out that will be placed at a disadvantage,
and some provision will be made for their pro
tection. Immediately after tbe meeting tbe freight
agents held a short session, but nothing was
done. Tbe thin vein operators on the Baltimore
and Ohio have signed a petition to the effect
that they are satisfied with tbe present limit,
but Mr. De Armitt classified tbem as thick vein
men acting under the delusion that they he
longed to tne tbin class. It is quite certain that
unless someLiiing is uonu a now suuerae wju ue
spiung by the tbin vein operators. Tbey don't
threaten, but tbey may quietly decrease the
coal tonnage oi tne ranroaus.

NEAR TO DEATH'S DOOR,
All Hope of Bishop O'Connor's Recovery
Given Up No Operation Con Even Re.
IIoto Ills Snfferlnc The End Not Be
lieved to be Far ODC
Bishop O'Conner, of Denver, is dying at
the Mercy Hospital, all hope of his recovery
having been given up last evening. Bishop
O'Conner, some months ago, went to Flori
da, it being thought that the Southern cli
mate would aid his health. He did not ral
ly, and be started for home. Last week he
reached Pittsburg, and was so weak that he
was taken to the Mercy Hospital.
His disease is a stricture of the intestines,
and the physicians had decided that the
only chance for blm lay in the use of the knife.
Dr. Aplee. of Philadelphia, had been the Bish
op's physician for years, and was familiar with
his trouble. He was sent for to consult with
the Pittsbnrg members of the profession, and
arrived yesterday.
Tbe consultation was held yesterday after
noon. It was decided that the sick man was
beyond all aid, and that an operation would
only result in additional suffering, and could
do no good.
Dr. Aplee left for home last night. The
Bishop is at tbe hospital, where be will stay
until tbe end comes. How long he will last
cannot be predicted, but It is not expected to
be an extended period.
The last rites of the Catholic Church were
administered to tbe dying Bishop yesterday
by Fatber John Ward, chaplain of Mercy
Hospital.
