THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, TUESDAY. MARCH 11. 1S90. 4 i 0 w MR. KELLY RESIGNS AftewPrison Board President Has to Le Chosen IN A YERY FEW DAYS. Growth of the Penitentiary in the Last Fifteen Years. CHAKCE FOR A GU0D DEMOCRAT A meeting or the judges comprising the bench of Allegheny county will be convened this week for the purpose of considering the letter of resignation of Mr. George A. Kelly, President ol the Prison Board of Riverside Penitentiary. As Mr. Kelly's resignation is imperative, it becomes the duty of the Allegheny County Bench to appoint a suc cessor. Although Mr. Kelly's resignation was tendered over a month since no action has been taken, for causes which Hon. E. H. Stowe, President Judge, states at length. As Mr. Kelly has been so long and so honorably identified with the Prison Board ot Eiver side Penitentiary the news of his retirement from the position of President will create great surprise. Mr. Kelly was seen at his residence on "Western avenue and informed that the rumor ol his resignation was public prop erty. He was visiblv annoyed at the mat ter receiving publicity, but finally consented to make a statement of the reasons which impelled him to sever his long standing and arduous relations with prison matters in "Western Pennsylvania. SIK. KELLY'S POSITION. "The move has been in contemplation by me for some months," said Mr. Kelly. "In my letter to Judge Stowe, as President of t!io County Bench, I gave my reasons for re signing, somewhat in detail. The position is one that must be considered very honorable, and in ceasing to be one of the Prison Board of the Western Penitentiary. I appreciate the confidence which has been reposed in me, as shown by almost continuous service for over 15 jean. But while my interest in the work has sot diminished, yet on account of pressing private and business affairs, and many matters ot a public nature which continually come op, I feel compelled to secure a respite from such onerous responsibilities by relinquishing my duties as President of the Prison Board. Over work is bound to tell in the end, and it Is in some respects a precautionary measure with me to divest myself of some of my round ot duties. 'In choosing a time to withdraw the present seems opportune. The Prison Board is com petent, and is composed of sagacious ana experienced men. and Warden Wright is beyond just criticism in his man agement of the prison. Bat even with the future of Riverside assured it is with f eel tings of genuine regret thatl law down a work "" which has been sointercstingand has extended Over so long a period of years. In the com munication to Judge Stowe reference was made to the tact that there has recently been com pleted and put into active operation an elaborate checE and balance system by which every item in the subsistence of the prison, even the minor disbursements, are accurately tabulated. The system is quite complicated, and will probably receive attention from other prisons, fao far as Riverside is concerned the system works very smoothly. AS GOOD AS THE BEST. "The Prison Board can claim with satisfac tion that in external appearance and adapta bility to prison uses. Riverside is equal, if not superior, to any penal institution in the United State. It stands to represent much hard work and anxious thought, and I can frankly say that I feel pride in my humble share in the erection of a fine prison under circumstances varying from favorable to the reverse. The building is architect urally complete, but in completing the south wing a further appropriation must be made by the next Legislature. The money will be necessary for the plumbing, flagging, steam leating and other details of the interior. Over $LO(iO,000 has been expended, and the work of the prisoners has saved a large sum of money to the State. "The problem of employment for prisoners has been, first and last, a knotty question, and lias demanded crave consideration of every prison board upon bich I have served. It has been practicallv solved, and nearly all the in mates are now cmplo)ed. In the near future, with a tair chance given, the charge to the various counties for maintenance of prisoners will be steadily reduced until eventually the in stitution can be made self supporting. "As I have said before, it is with creat regret tbatlietire irom connection with the prison, bnt I feel assured that the public will be quite as well served in the future. I have not ap prised ray associates upon the board of my action, as I had hoped to see a successor ap pointed without any publicity." "VTHY ACTION IS DELAYED. Judge Stowe was seen last evening at his residence in Edgewortb, en the Fort Wayne Railroad. He had not at band Mr. Kelly's let ter of resignation, but stated that it had been in his possession over a month. "The Bench would have acted upon Mr. Kelly's resignation before this." said His Honor, "but that it is ex tremely difficult to get the judges together. I will, however, call a meeting some time this week for action upon the letter. I am person ally very sorry that the Prison Board is to loso its heaa, and so conscientious and capable an Inspector, in the person of Mr. Kelly. His services have been most valuable to the com munity, and being an enthusiast, he has de voted a very large amount of tune to the re curring problems of prison life. The experi ence of ISjears has been of the utmost service to the institution: especially in the expansion to its present proportions. The terms of bis resignation preclude any possibility of recon sideration, fo the judges will address them selves to the task of securing a successor." "Has Mr. Kelly's successor Deen determined upon. Judge?" "Oh, no. The judges must met before that matter can come up. Jlr. Kelly stated in bis letter that he would servo until re lieved." "Has anyone applied for the position?" SHOULDN'T SEEK THE PLACE. His Honor looked grim. "Xa No one has applied. It would be a very reliable proof of unfitness for such a position, were anyone to make an application. Wo may have some trouble in securing just the proper person." Mr. George A. Kelly is the only member now alive of the Prison Board, which he entered by appointment of the Supreme Court in 1871 Under the old constitution tno inspec tors were appointed by the Supremo Court and three by the County Court Under the new constitution the buprcine Court power was transferred to the Governor, the henate confirmmc. The members of the first board Mr. Kelly served upon were Messrs. T. H. Nevin, President: Ormshy Phillips, Robert H. Davis. John Dean and George A. Kelly. At Mr. Nevin's death, Mr. Ormsby Phillips was made President. At Mr. Phillips decease Mr. Kelly became President, which be has since been without intermission. The present board is as follows: James R. Reed. James McCutcheon, Benjamin Trimble and John S. Slagle. Mr. Kelly's resignation will necessitate an election for a president, the forthcoming appointee beimr simply an In spector. Messrs. Slagle aud Trimble n ere ap pointed by Governor Beaver. The Western Penitentiary has taken the in itiative in abolishing the solitary system of con finement, it having secured tbe passage of a State law allowing convicts to be congregated for "laoor. learning and worship." The East ern Penitentiary has stuck to the solitary sys tem, but has not tared well in recent Guberna torial messages. MAY BE A DEMOCEAT. It is rumored in connection with Mr. Kelly's retirement that several of the county judges are debating the expediency ot appointing a Democrat to fill the vacancy, there being now no Jacksonian representative upon the board. There has been no Democrat on tbe board since Governor Pattison's appointees served. Tbe anrument advanced in favor of th rtminA nf a Democrat is that there being no emoluments attached to tbe position it would be on the higher plane if partisnjl p wero shelved and the minority party recogn.zed. But the thoughtful politician will be ready to cry "wolf" on thinkinc over the political situa tion of tbe future. Should a Democrat be ap pointed by the county judiciary, and a Demo cratic Governor happen to make the riffle with two appointments at his command, the Prison Board would suddenly become Democratic HEW OFFICERS CHOSEN. Annual Election of the Clinmber ol Com merceThe Grndo Crossinz Question Up Once More Demand for Reform on llio Part of tbe Rnllrond. The annual meeting of the Chamber of Commerce took place yesterdaT afternoon for organization. The reports presented showed a good balance on hand and very effective work done for the last year as the representative body of the citizens of Pitts burg. Prominent among the successes achieved were mentioned tbe exposition, with all its advantages, and the reception and entertainment ot the Pan-American dele gates, through whom Pittsburg was introduced to tho South Americansfrom Panama to Tlerra Del Kuego. Some of the results are already appearing, and the official report will show a more extended trade already through tho cour teous reception of the official representatives of Central and South America. The annual election of officers showed bnt few changes. It resulted as follows: W. E. Schmertz. President: S. I McIIenry, Secre tary; Charles Meyran, Treasurer; Gilbert Follansbee. Superintendent. The Board is Di rectors is the samo as last year, with the ex ception of two new members. J. Morton Hall and A. B. Wigley. The Auditing Committee consists of D. C. Herbst, J. Morton Hall and Henry Holdshin. Judtres of Election were Charles C. Baer. Henry F. Weaver and John D. Bailey. Within a week or two the official reports are expected to be ready for publication in printed form. In a communication from Colonel Wickershain on thesubjectof grade crossings he said: "Since the Federal street crossing casuality last year many others have occurred and lately onr pub lic schools have met a serious loss through the samo cause. How long must the people stand idle and see our fellow beincs slaughtered that the railroad may reap the richest harvest and put tbe money in their own pockets instead of giving it to the expense of raising their tracks." G. A. Kelly said he believed that the Federal street crossing was still dangerons and also tho electric cars were in constant danger of being struck. Captain John Dravo said the Pennsylvania Company are expending money in the eastern part of the State for raising the tracks and should take similar action in the western part. The matter will be brought up at the meeting next Monday. COLLECTING C1TI TAXES. The First Day's Work Fully Up to tbe Aver- nsc. Tbe first day for the receipt of taxes at the City Treasurer's office gave about an average return, the money taken in being about 5,500. Very little grumbling was done as to the 3 mills advance, except from some taxpayers of the Sixth ward, who disliked to pay S3 on the Sl.OOl) more than last year. This will probably be more intensified as tbe collection goes on and wind up iith a general round-up before the matter is referred to the delinquent tax collec tor or a percentage added as a preliminary pre caution. The clerks in the City Treasurer's office ex pect to be kept a? busy, if not busier, than they were yesterday and ente.- a mild protest to the effect that the taxpayers who come to the win dows and ask for a statement waste both their own time, that of the city clerks and others. When a statement of this kind is required, they say. all that is needed is to send a postal card directed to the City Treasurer, who will mail a reply, as there are flour clerks employed for that purpose, many of the inquirers holding property in different wards, while each receiv ing clerk has only to do with the ward for which he receives the taxes. A reply will be mailed within 24 hours, and then tho property holder can return tbe statement, accom panied by check, without any loss of time from his business. This course of pro cedure would mncb facilitate proceedings in the collections of property taxes and allow the window clerks a much better chance to settle smaller differences, occurring In the wards for which they take in the levy. At present tbe books arc short in for more than 20 wards and had they been in, the re ceipts would have been greater, but the present indications show that tbe tax receipts mil be very close to the estimate of tho Finance Com mittee. 'TWILL DKAG FOE A TIME. Details of the Eichth Wnrd Political Sennit to be Heard in Courr. The crowd that convened in Alderman Mc Masters' office yesterday expecting to witness a scene went away disappointed. It came to bear the cases of John McKee and Frank Newman, of the Eighth ward,charged by Alderman J. W. Bell with running the primary election in tbe First district to suit themselves and making false returns to the intended detriment of the prosecutor, they being election officers. There were but 15 witnesses present, about half as many as on the first day set for a hearing. Mor ton Hunter, Esq.. appeared for prosecutor and J. W. Brennen, Esq., for defendants, but they had nothing to do. Mrs. Julia .Newman was on hand to trive se curity tor her son, and James McKee was there to look after his son's interest, and both de fendants waived a hearing, their respective pa rents becoming responsible In the sum of S1.O0O each for their answering rollcall in the Quar ter Sessions. THE CAEDINAL WITH TJIEM. Attorney Golden Home From His Trip to tho Archdiocese. Attorney "William A. Golden has returned from a week's trip in tho Archdiocese ol Balti more and tbe Diocese of Hamsbcrg in the in terests of tbe American Federation of Catholic Societies, recently organized in Pittsburg. The greetings of the 30,000 Pittsburg members conveyed through him to scores of leading Catholic society leaders elicited the most grati fying responses and pledges of co-operation in the great movement of diocesan organizations in tho federation. Cardinal Gibbons and Bishop McGowen expressed their universal ap proval of tbe federation, its principles and ob jects. IlE WOVT FIGI1T INDIANS. Circumstances Arc Aenlnst Blnlr Hamilton's Serine the Wild nnd W00II7 West. Atelegram to the police bureau from Altoona caused a lookout for Blair Hamilton, a youth of about IS, who had left his home to go West, grow up with the country and curb tbe growth of the Indians and bnffalos. Wben Detective Shore met tbe boy on his arrival at 8 p. M. and said, "Hello, Hamilton," he seemed oblivious of telegraphic facilities, and cleaved to tbe de tective as the ordinary granger who doesn't read the papers clings to a confidence man. He has now an opportunity to meet his next of kin to-day at the Central station. AN EXCLUSIVE CLUB. Residents, Not Members, Will Not be Al lowed -to Visit tbe Dnqnesne. At a meeting of tho Duquesne Clnb yesterday about 40 residents and CO non-residents were admitted to membership. It was stated on good authority last evening that the clnb had passed an iron-clad resolntion at tbe meeting forbidding residents of the city, not mombers, to enter tbe clubhouse, even wben accompa nied by members. Few such exclusive clubs exist anywhere. The Union Club of Philadelphia and the St Louis Club have adopted this policy. WHAT PEOPLE AEE DOING. Some Who Travel, home Who Do Not, and Ollirn Who Tnllt. Ex-President James Campbell, of the Window Glass Workers' Association, went East last evening. He said his mission was to attend to private business.

He returned from a trip through the West a lew days ago. "William Thaw and Charles J. Clarke left for Philadelphia last night. Mr. Thaw said he was no longer interested in the proposed viaduct across the Allegheny, and that the one talked of now from Craig street was an old scheme. He thinks a viaduct is badly needed, but be added that it was not yet in tbe flesh, and he couldn't tell when it nould be, if ever. H. Sellers McKee and Murray Verner were eastbound passengers last evening. Wben asked if they were alter more street railroads both men smiled, bnt they said nothing. Mr. McKee took occasion to remark that all the tariff on glass is needed. James McMillen, Vice President ol the Cambria Iron Works, was at the Duqnesne yesterday. He said they were working on the Gautier mill, but it would take sometime be fore it is finished. They are rebuilding on an extensive scale. Ex-Chief Justice James G.

Baeder Glue Company. FIRM FUNDS NOT ACCOUNTED FOB. Liabilities Over $100,000, Whil9 the Assets Are let Unknown. A NEW I0RK PARTNER INYFST1GATING The affairs of the "W. A. Baeder Glue Company, of Springdale, seem to be in a very much muddled condition. Yesterday H. K. Kern, one of tbe New York partners, appeared on the scene and attempted to un ravel the mystery, but the more he delved the more confused he got. He is not any too well pleased with the actions of the Pittsburg representative, and he expresses himself rather freely about him. Confessed judgments wero entered in the county courts against the company yesterday acgregating in value S100.677 90. The judg ments are divided as follows: Spiegel A Co., $10,615 77; William Flaccus & Son and William Flaccus, trustee, $2G,000; Emily Jj. Bentz. SI3, 650; W. H. Kern. S2S.05S 07: W. H. Kern, $28, SKJ 00; Emily U Bentz, S13.786 50. 'TWAS A COrAETNEKSHIP. The company was not incorporated, hut Is a copartnership composed of William A Bae der, Howard R. Kern and Louis C Haughoy. Messrs. Baeder and Kern began business in March, 1875, claiming a capital of 575,000, of which two-thirds was contributed by Mr. Kern. In 18S7 the style of the Baeder Flint Paper Company was adopted in connection with a branch of tbeir business. In September, 1SSS, they leased the factories of the Pittsburg Glue Company, ot nhicti Louis C. Haughey was manager, and ho becamo a partner in the firm of Baeder fc Kern at that time. They did a large business, and on September I18S9, their inventory snowed assets S233.M5 and liabilities S67.0S7. After making an Investigation yesterday. Mr. Kern said at tho Duquesne last evening: "Well, I can't tell where tbe company stands. I have unearthea any number ot bills to-day. and if you had presented one for $10,000 instead of asking me for information, I would not have been surprised. Wben I asked Mr. Haughey to-day what he had done with the money, he replied that he didn't know. Tbis is not a satisfactory answer, bv any means. He denied that be had been speculating with it, his friends also won't believe it, but be must have gambled in stocks, or something or other. CAN'T TJiOJEKSTAND IT. "It is funny to me that he can't tell what has become of tho funds. I do not say that Mr. Haughey forged the notes, but tho paper Is spurious and he has used tbe company's money and the firm hasn't had the benefit of it. "lam hoping the liabilities will not exceed 1100,000, but I can't tell yet bow high they will go. I discovered paper for $28,000 in one bank to-day, and judgment notes for $29,000 in an other. I have been taking acconnt of stock all (lav, bnt I don't know what the assets are. Up to last Saturday tbis company was able to pay its debts. Last year we did a business of $311. 000. I am not saying now what I will do, hut I propose to clear up certain things before I leave.'' Mr. L. C. Haughey was in tho city yesterday, but he declined to talk. It was stated last evening that the Spiegel fc Co. and Flaccus judgments were made on Sunday. A DRUNKEN ISGRATE.' Hovr Officer Dnncnn Got Even With a Wonld-be Smnrt Individual. A few nights ago Officer Duncan, of the Sec ond district, taught a Fourteenth ward indi vidual a lesson he will not forget for many 3 ears, if ever. The officer was wearing out his legs, patroling his long beat, when he stumbled across an old rounder lying in an alley. From the appearance of tho man Duncan knew be had been renewing his acquaintance with a bottling house and was sleeping off tbe effects of his indisposition. The officer woke him up, and. knowing where he lived, volunteered to escort bim home. Duncan took bim to the corner of tbe street where be lived, and think inc he would go home the officer left him. Tho man was in au ugly mood on account of being awakened from his sleep, and instead ot going home he went to the Fourteenth ward station house on Second avenue. There he en tered a complaint against Duncan for not knowing his business. The man said tbe officer should have arrested him and for neglecting to properly perform bis duty he wanted him sus pended. The joke was too good to keen, and when Dun can "called up" shortly afterward, to report fronxone of tbe patrol boxes, the Sergeant told him about it. It is needless to say that Dun can was mad. Ho told the Sergeant that he would show him ho did know his business, as he knew where he could lay hands on the complainant. He start ed out and in less than ten minutes the man was once more on his way to the station house. This time however, ho rodo in the patrol wagon having been given the transportation by the officer he made the complaint against A KEW BOAT'S FIRST TRIP.

Tbe lUcKnesport Methodius Greatly Ex cited Over the Trial of Dr. Mansell Open Charges That a Cbarch Kins Worked Acnlnst the Pastor. Methodists all over the Pittsburg diocese are greatly excited over the trial ol Rev. R. P. Mansell, of the First M. E. Church, Mc Keesport, for alleged lying and defamation. The trial commenced yesterday afternoon in the lecture room of the church. The Rev. Dr. Cox presided at the trial and the com mittee were: W. A. Stewart, W. Gourley, H. R. Wilburn, B. T. Thomas, Kelson Davis, E. S. White and J. H. Miller. The prosecution was represented by the Rev. J. E. Wright, of Wellsburg. W. Va.. whilo the Rev. Dr. Wheeler, presiding elder of the East Ohio Conference, and the Rev. J. B. Risk, of Bellevue, were there to look after the interests ot the Rev. Dr. Mansell. The room itself was crow ded with prominent Methodist divines.who were eagerly Hatching tho outcome of the trial. Among them were Dr. C. W. Smith, Rov. Dr. T. N. Bovle. Hev. J. F. Case. Rev. Dr. Ileacom. Rev. Dr. Miller and Rov. Dr. Meacham. Aside from these wero a large number of tbe leading ladles of McKecsport who attended the trial just to lend tbeir pastor aid. Anions tbe McKecsport citizens present were E. P. Murphy, Mr. Chester, W. V. M. Taylor. J. W. Blackburn A. F. Hunter. F. H. Coursin. Johu B. Lusk, John W. Morgan and W. H. Armor. CHARGES OF A KING. Another feature which lends peculiar inter est to the trial is that Dr. Mansell and bis friends claim there is a ring in tbe Pittsburg diocese, and that they have persecuted him. They claim that a few men control the entire diocese, and expect to prove it by this trial Both sides therefore are fighting for every point, and as a result only two witnesses were examined yesterday. The attorneys for either side raised every objection possible, and tbis, together with tbe want ot a stenographer, drew out the examinations all day, and promises to extend the trial over the entire week. The first charge brought against the pastor is lying. Under this charge were four specifica tions which allege that Mr. Mansell had told Mr. Core that at tho Beaver Conlerence in 1883 tbe cabinet had made such a fight over his Core's appointment that tbe boisterous lan guage was heard in the kitchen of the parson age: tbat he had denied working for tbe ap pointment to McKeesport wnen ho had made plans and arrangements to assure his appointment; tbat Mr. Mansell had said to members of his congregation that he had been forced by the members of the Beaver Conference Cabinet to sign a paper on January 31, 1BSS, under threats of charges; that ho had publicly announced that he had been Ignored and insnltcd in tbe disposition ot tbe society at Elrod, when be had known all the arrangements ton days be fore, and had given bis approval of them. The second charge of defamation, charges Mr. Mansell with saying to members of bis church, tbat he could put the ministers in tho peniten tiary who took part in tho conference of January 31, 1SS3. The charge also ac cuses Dr. Mansell with circulating a report tbat F. H. Coursin, a member of his congregation, was guilty of swearing and de famine his own son and threatening to throw him in tho river. The charges were signed by E. P. Murphy. W. V. M. Taylor. F. H. Coursin. A. F. Hunter, John W. Morgan, Johu B. Lusk, W. H. Armor and J. W. Blackburn. A FIGHT FOB SECKECY. Dr. Mansell was then arraigned and answered, "Not gnilty." Then came tbe ques tion whether tbe investigation should be open. After a hard fight it was decided that it should be open to all. The Rev. Dr. James Meacham was then called, and was kept on tbe stand until 9 o'clock r. w. He was examined and cross-examined over and over again. The attorney for the ac cused even declared tho witness was a perse cutor, and continued to throw out insinuations until Dr. Meaclunan jumped out of his chair and said: "I object lo being called a prose cutor, and I will not stand the insult any longer." Dr. Cox at last secured order scam and tbe witness continued to tell his story. He told how the Rev. Mansell had circulated false re ports about the Beaver Conference and then gave the inside facts about the meeting in the Methodist bookstore, at which Mr. Mansell had signed a paper admitting that he had lied concerning the actions of Dr. Boyle, Dr. Smith, Dr.Bcacom.the witness and others. He then said Mr. Mansell had begged for this paper and it was at last given to him. When he did get it he bnrned it, and then claimed the ministers had forced him to sign such a paper. Tbis caused a second meeting, which was held at Latrobo. in which Mr. Mansell again admitted his cuilt and said he had not told the truth when he declared he had been coerced into signing the paper at the bookstore. He also apologized to Bishop Warren for his actions. Dr. C. W. Smith was then called. Hebroueht out the fact that Mr. Mansell had charged Dr. Meacham with defeating him (Mansell) as a delegate to the General Conference in 1833, and alleged that unfair means had been used. The remainder of Dr. Smith's evidence, so far as given wben the session closed at 10 o'clock, simply corroborated Dr. Meacham's testimony. Tho trial will be resumed at 8:30 this morning. HE IS JDST 39. A Surprlso Party Given to Inspector Mc Aleese Last Night. One of tho most peculiar surprises of his life awaited Inspector McAleese, of the First Dis trict of thn Police Bureau, on his return to supper last night. He found more company than he had expected, Morris Mead having laid the wires. Sam Evans laid tbe hose and Roger O'Mara having done the sleuth hound act to get ahead of tbe Inspector. They, with many more, informed him tbat as it was his 39th birthday, it should be sig nalized by some peculiar celebration, and they took the liberty to celebrate it in his own house. A number of very handsome presents were made tbe Inspector, which he said ho valued less than tho good wishes expressed, and although the party was limited tho good feeling was unlimited. MR. CARNEGIR IN TOWN. The Steel Kins Will Confer With the Li bray Commission. Mr. Andrew Carnegie, accompanied by his wife, arrived on the limited last evening. They were met at tho depot by George D.

All the Wire Mills in the Country Closed Down for Two Weeks. NON-UNION BEER TO BE BOYCOTTED The brickmakers have not withdrawn from the Knights of Labor. A meeting of L. A. 2946 was held last bight and the matter was discussed for abont two hours. Speeches were made by Secretary Dillon, of the American Flint Glass Workers' Union, and Organizer of the Federation of Labor. ex Master Workman of D. A. 3, John Doyle, John O'Shea and Mr. Slosson, who was prominently connected with the Brace Bros, boycott. Mr. Dillon was at the meeting by request of some of tbe members of the local assem bly, and made an address on the subject of iederation. He showed the many ad vantages to be gained by being connected with such a powerful body. Mr. Doyle showed them in bis speech where they would not be benefited by going into the Federa tion. He stated tbat all the brickmakers' unions in the East and West were connected witn the Knights of Labor, and as tbe latter bad organized them they should stick to the order. Mr. O'Shea also agitated going into tbe F. of L., and he was just as vigorously opposed by Mr. Slosson. Tbe orators left the members of tbe local in such a condition of mind that tbey did not know what to do, and decided to take no action in regard to the matter. Tbe assembly will ask for an increase of 25 cents per day in all yards. The new scale will go into effect May 1, and tbe increase will be from 10 to 15 per cent. Nearly every yard In tbe two cities is organized, and the men do not think they will have any trouble securing their demands. The bricklayers' union desire it stated that they are not mixed up in the case in any way. Tbeir union is attached to the international organization, and they have no connection with the Knights of Labor. WIRE MILLS CLOSED DOWN. Rumor of a Scheme to Force tho Kickers Into tbe Combination. Most of tbe wire nail mills in the country shut down yesterday in accordance with an agreement which it is said embraces nearly every manufacturer of wire nails In the United States. Tho mills will not resume operations again until the 21th inst. It is said tbat this movement was for tho pur pose of forcing certain mills which have been cutting prices to come into the combine, which has been on tho boards for about a year, but which could not be fnlly organized as long as these independent works remained outside the trust. The shutdown begun yesterday will cut the production of wire nails to such a point tbat these independent factories will be forced for self protection to join tho organization, which those in the shutdown have been endeavoring to form. But whether closing the mills for two weeks will bring about what is desired, remains to be seen. From another source tho report comes that if two weeks does not accomplish tbe work, tbe shutdown will be protracted until tbe end sougbt is reached. Chairmann Abbott was asked yesterday if Carneeie's mill at Beaver Falls was shut down: he said: "Ye, we shut down on account of the condition of tbe trade. The business is in such shape that a shutdown of two weeks wonld be beneficial to everybody." A B0IC0TT ON BEER. . The Journeymen Brewers Modify Their De mands for Shorter Hours. The journeymen brewers have decided to boycott the beer made in breweries whose owners do not comply with their scale regula tions. 1 hey have now in the hands of the printer a circular, a copy of which will be sent to every labor organization in Western Penn sylvania. They will ask all workmgmen to withdraw tbeir patronage from saloons not handling union beer. The men havo somewhat modified their posi tion in regard to tbeir demands. They do not now insist upon a written agreement tbat they shall not be compelled to work longer than ten hours per day. This seems to bava been the stumbling block between the boss brewers and tbeir employes. Some of them said they would grant tbe ten-hour day. but wonld not sign a contract to that effect, Thoy have also modi fied their demands for extra pay. Instead of wanting double wages for overtime, they now demand an increase of 15 per cent, but for Sun day work they want double time. Tbe following firms have signed the scale: Spencer, Liddell 6 Co., the Keystone Brewing Company, Frauenheim & Vilsack and C. Wil li elm. ALL FEEIGnT IS MOVING. One ot tho Quietest Railroad Strikes on Reord Juki Ended. The Pittsburg and Lake Erie road managed to move all of tbe freight in the yards yester day, and matters are beginning to assume their original shape. Thero is a considerable amount of freight in the Chartiers yard yet and some at the mills to be shipped, but the company expects to get things in shape in a day or two. There were seven crews working steadily all day yesterday, and two more will bo pnt on to day. The company is not experiencing any trouble in securing all of tbe men they need. This has been an unusually quiet and peace able strike. One of the officials said yesterday that the men had not molested them in anv way, but had simply quit and went away. No interference whatever bas been offered, and for tbis alone the strikers are to be commended. Fourteen switchmen, hrakemen, eta. arrived in the city last night from Philadelphia and registered at tbo First Avenue Hotel. 'Hie men stated tbat they were going to work on the Lake Erie road, and are to take tbe places of tbe strikers in the Pittsburg and Chartiers yards. A SCARC1TI OP MACHINISTS. The Shops Cannot Benin to Fill tho Orders They Havo on Hnnd. There is a scarcity of machinists in the city. In the machine department of Junes Langh lin's and all other large establishments the men aro working double, time. One of tbe employes stated yesterday that they could not begin to fill tho order3 they have on hand. To illustrate the scarcity of men in the city. ho stated tbat a few days ago he bad occasion to visit a friend, while sick, in a neighboring sbop. As soon as ho opened the door and the foreman canght sight of him, the latter's first question was. "Are you a machinist?" Re ceiving a reply to the affirmative, the foreman said, hardly civing tho man time to complete his sentence, "Take off your coat, quick, and go to work." Sllsht Iron Rate Chnnges. George E. McCague, General Agent Lako Shore and Michigan Southern Railroad in this city, left for Chicago yesterday to attend a meeting of the Iron committee to be held in that city to-day. Tbe object of tbe meeting is to make a number of slight cbanges, but there will be no heavy reductions. Nenrly All Painters Hnve Slenrd. Nearly all tbe master painters and con tractors in the East End and on the Southside have signed the journeymen's scale. Those who have not yet dono so are sticking out for the non-union clause. The union men refuse to work with non-union mechanics of any kind. Tbe Buckeye Will Use It. M. J. Morton, of Martin's Ferry, O., patentee of the flint glass casting process, is in tbe city.

A Southside Real Estate Agent Gets Himself Into a Sad Plight. A certain real estate agent on the Southside Is liable to know bow circumstances can make a man's life miserable, bofoie the present month expires. A resident of one of the hill wards owns a bouse down on Carson street. He rented it last summer to a man who sneceeded in putting four months' rent on the landlord's eye. A constable put the tenant out into tbe street likewise his household effects. The house remained vacant for some time and tbo owner thought it would be to his ad vantage to place it in tbe bands of an agent, which he accordingly did. A tenant was secured January 1. The first two months' rent was paid without any delay, but the agent has not heard of his tenant for March. Yesterday he was given the pleasant information that tbe man to whom be bad rented the bouse is tho former tenant, who "stuck" the landlord. The owner of tbe house does qot know the facts yet, but wben he does learn them, the agent ex pects to hear from him. JOHNSTOWN RECOVERING. Mr. Elder Says the County Delegates Won't Bolt Dclnmater. Cyrus Elder of Johnstown, wasHn the city for a short time yesterday at tbe Duqnesne. He went to Cbicago last night on professional busi ness Mr. Elder says the Johnstown people are beginning to recover since tbe "awful cloud of the relief fund" has been removed from their horizon. He paid the members of the Pitts burg press a high tribute for their work in the Coneinangh Valley. ' "We appreciated," he said, "what the genuine representatives of the papers had done for us when we afterward fell into the hands of the buckwheats in the business." Mr. Elder does not think tbat tbe delegates to the Republican State Convention will bolt Delamater as reported. Cambria being a mi nority county, be said, is also a machine county and the delegates will vote as the macbino dic tates.

A Grlpman Who Wrote Instilling Letters Cnusbt and Jailed. On January 10 a mest Insulting letter was re ceived by a very highly respected lady of tbe East End named Mrs. Barr, signed "J. E. Bri sonV Its contents were snch tbat the lady deemed it only her duty to bring tbe writer to justice, and referred the communication to ex Postmaster Larkin. He turned It over to in spector W. C Moore, who, with tbo aid of Dep uty United States Marshal Chambers, locatd the criminal as a gripman on the Penn avenhe line, living at No. 4 Jackson street. East End, and bailing from tbe State of Indiana. Tbe next thing was to identify the man with tho writer of tbe letters, and the plan arranged upon, with tbe consent of tbe lady who was so affronted, was to use a decoy letter. On Friday last a letter was sent to tbe address discovered, and referring to tbe first communication asked a meeting. This was sent by special messenger and demanded an immediate reply. Tbe ap pointment was made for last evening, and the renlv was received, which committed the writ- er, jn the same chirography as the missive first recsivea ana agreeing to mo appointment.
