"!' "S1WW & 4 I LADS AND LASSIES Braw and Bonny, Make Merry in Scottish Style, OYER Off THE NORTHSIDE. An ETening of Enjoyment by Clan J MacPherson Xo. 59. KATIOKAL SOKGS AND DAXCKS THE Clan McPherson rallied to the inspiring ibroch songsof "Auld Keekie" last night at new Turner Hall, Al legheny, and until the sma' hours whiled away the time in a manner calculated to P Seal of the Clan. delight not only the braw lads and lassies of Caledonia, bnt their guests as well. hue there was love expressed lor the banks and braes, the Toice of fealty to America was not unheard. There was music of voices and the bag pipes, and the rhythm of the Hiclaud Fling and the"Ghillie Collum" (sword dance) set the pulses of the audience astir. Below stairs the smell of smoking viands the modern substitutes ior "haggis" filled the building with fragrance. Highlander in Full Costume. The lads of the Clan McPherson were striding about the hall, wearing their bon nets with brave feathers and tarletans thrown over the shoulder, and clasped by huge buttons. The tartan of red, black and brown looked cay mingling in the sober colors worn by the male portion of the audi ence. The lassies, however, were a law unto themselves, and their brtght-hued dresses and corsage bouquets brightened the scene. Some enthusiastic laddies sported sprigs of heather, and the scene was a gay one when the concert began, at 8 o'clock. ASDEESS BT THE CHIEF. There was a mighty shrill of the pipes, and the clan marched to the stage iu two lines, each headed by a pied piper playing for dear lite. Then Chief McDowall ascended the stage and made an address. He said that as Chief of Clan JlcPherson it gave him great pleasure to welcome the auditors to the first entertainment given by the clan. He said that the body was formed to promote such social intercourse that, in the lancuasre of the National Bard, they could say: ".Not for to hide it in a cloot, nor for its train attendant, but for the glorious privilege of being independent." The Alpine Quartet sang a number, and then Miss Brockie sang "Caller Herrin," and when she produced the "Herrin" from a very realistic creel, there was great ap plause. Miss Tillie Mackintosh appeared in a dress of the Argyle tartan, and sang that sweet old ballad, "Jack o Hazeldean," very sweetly. Then came the event of the evening, in the dancing of the "Hieland Fling" by Ethel Hamilton, daughter of "William Hamilton, Superintendent of the parks. The little sprite was arrayed in a royal Stuart tartan, and a Scottish topaz gleamed upon her headdress, while an eagle's pinion, stuck aslant, gave a jaunty aspect to her costume. The piper marched ont and com menced a drone, but the wee maid was puz zled to catch the time. Finally the piper's fingers commenced to fly, and the historic fling was heard. The little leet commenced to fly, and the intricate figures were reeled off with wonderful agility. The roar of applause that greeted Ethel showed that the dancing was heartily appreciated. THOUGHTS OP THEIE OWX. The Alpine Quartet then sang "Annie Laurie," and the stillness of the audience showed that each was thinking of an "Annie Laurie," perchance in Caledonia. Miss Rutledge sang "We'd Better Bide a "Wee," and Mr. "William Holmes sang that exquisite poem of Burns', "O a' the Airts the Wind can Blaw." Miss Tillie Mackin tosh then rendered "Auld Robin Gray." Thomas M'Ewan danced the "Ghillie Col lum," the Scottish sword dance, with really excellent steps. Laying two swords in a cross on the stage, he circled back and forth, and as the step grew more complicated, the piper skirled merrily, and the lads in the audience shouted with glee. The Highland fling was aUo danced by Messrs. M'Eiran and TJrquhart, with excel lent effect. Prof. Byron King recited twice, and the Alpine Qnartet closed the perform ance. Mr. D. S. Thompson was to have sung the "Battle of Stirling," but was ill and not present. The floor was then cleared and dancing began with a grand march, in which very intricate figures blended the costumes of those present in an effective manner. Then there was a Strathspey and reel, then came that riotous national dance Paddy O'Kafferty. Further on came "Flowers o' Edinboro," stately old Sir Roger De Cov erley, borrowed from the seventeenth cen tury Britons, "Home, Sweet Home" waltz, and "Auld Lang Syne" closing an evening of unalloyed pleasure. SIIE D1D.NT LEAVE MUCH. Andrew Jona' DeKcrllnc Wife Takei With IIcrAllHU Goods. Andrew Jonas, who lives out the Browns ville road, near the Methodist cemetery, told a funny story to Sergeant McQuaide, at the Twenty-eighth ward station house, last night. Mr. Jonas spoke broken En glish. He was in a predicament, and wanted the Sergeant to give liiia some ad vice. He raid when he went home from work at C o'clock he found his house locked up, the furniture all gone, his wife and three children were missing, a cow, half a ton of hay and a lot of chickens removed. As moving day is here, the thought struck the Sergeant that probably the man's wife had moved, and' he ventured the suggestion to the distressed gentleman. "There's no doubt about that," replied the latter. Mr. Jonas seemed very well satisfied with the departure of his wife it she had only lelt biui something beside his clothes, and he could only look at them with a wishful eve through securely fastened windows, as he did not even possess a key with which to open the doors. Mr. Jonas must have regarded the matter as rather humorous, as a complacent smile rested upon his face during the whole time he told his story, and when he lelt he de clared he did not care to see his wife, bnt he would like to hare a key for the house. VVS. XJ C,r AFTER A BIG LOOP. How nn Allegheny Street Knllwny Compnny Expect to Pick Up Lots of Tin flic Wlieu It Adopts Electricity A Route Unrd to Gel, bat Worth Securtnc The Pittsburg, Alleghenyand Manchester Railway Company is quietly moving in a matter of extreme importance to them and one of great interest to the public in general. The company is after a "loop," the propor tions of which will make some people ex cited. The intention is to keep right on from Sixth street to the entrance of Market street, instead of turning into a blind switch on Liberty street, as at present. A single track, with the poles and wires of the Sprague electric system, will run the whole length of Market street to Water street. The route will roe up Water street to Wood, and turning into Wood street down that thoroughfare to Sixth avenue; thencs down Sixth avenue to Libertv street and along Liberty street to the head of Sixth street, and there run back to the present double .track. It will be seen that by means of this route the Pittsburg, Allegheny and Man chester will traverse the Pittsburg markets, be able to land Alleghenians on the wharf within two sauares of the Baltimore and Ohio depot and the Southside street cars, and returning pick up passengers all along the heart of town. Although the Sprague system can get along without a loop, it is better to run cars head on, if possible, and the above "loop," therefore, is rated as a very desirable franchise. Steps are being taken, legal and other wise, to secure the rights of way and sub leases required in the loop. There is primarily a great difference of opinion as to the right of entry upon streets not occupied by rails. Under the traction act it is claimed that Fifth avenue, from Grant to Liberty; Sixth avenue, Irom Grant to Smithfield; Fourth avenue, from Wood to Grant; High street and other thoroughfares, are illegally occu pied. The test case against the Central Traction Company in the High street in stance, will have to go to the Supreme Court, it is claimed, before a thorough con struction of the law can be gained. Hence, it is in doubt if a State charter can cover the loop wanted by the P., A. & M. Steps are being taken to clear the question up. There is another verv bothersome ques tion. Some "insiders" who leased the Transverse rights of way and afterward realized nearly what the lease cost, said to have been over $150,000, by dickering with companies now running on Wood street and Sixth avenue, were cute enough to forsce the Pittsburtr, Allegheny and Manchester necessity for a loop, and retain a sub-leasing power from Water street to Sixth avenue. These insiders are on the "inside" all the way around, and the price they are asking the" Pittsburg, Allegheny and Manchester is said to be a blood relation to Shylock's memorable pact with Antonio. It is a sub ject of warm debate among the Pittsburg, Allegheny and Manchester stockholders, but the loop is said to be in sight, and the public will watch the further developments with keen interest. Cheaper fares, rapid transit and added conveniences are thought to be assured by the new deal whenever it is" completed. STILL WRANGLING. More Discussion Abont the Control ol the . Allrgheny Library. Last night the snb-committee of the Alle gheny City Property Committee met and de cided to rent the hall to the Ladies' Aid and Missionary Society of the Third TJ. P. Church for a concert on the 28th inst. also to the Allegheny Musical Association for a concert on May 27. The question of engag ing a professional organist, who will give free recitals on the grand organ once or twice a week during the snmmer season for the benefit of the general public, was up for discussion, but no action was taken. Mr. Lare suggested that on April 1 the building be thrown open to the general public, and in that way it could be determined just how much help for cleaning the superintendent would need. Chairman Ammon retused to entertain any such mo tion on the ground that they had not the control of the building. Mr. Lare and some others took exceptions to this, and expressed it as their opinion that the committee had lull power to act in the matter under an ordinance already passed by Conncils. A general discussion followed, and the ordinance now hanging fire in Select Coun cils was cut up. Chairman Ammon charged certain people on the committee with being under one man's thumb. This was warmly resented and a war of words followed. PDLLED HIS PIGTAIL. A Glnublovrrr Gets Incarcernted In a Fight With a Chlnnmnn. John Smith, a glassblower who lives at Sawmill Run, and Yee Wall, a Chinaman who has a laundry at No. 207 Grant street, were arrested by Lieutenant Lewis last evening at the corner of Washington and Fountain streets, and lodged in the Central Station on a charge of disorderly conduct. It is alleged by the officer that the China man was passing the corner when Smith, who was in a drunken condition, undertook to pull the Chinaman's pigtail off. This angered Yee Wall, and he knocked Smith down, and while they were wrestling on the ground the Chinaman bit a piece out of Smith's ear, and also chewed one of his fingers. At the Central Station Yee Wall gave bail for a hearing this morning. INSPECTING THE COKE ROADS. Lake Shore Official!

Prussian Who Followed His Beloved FK01T GOTHAM TO ALLEGHENY CITI Pacing uneasily up and down a narrow cell in Central station is a handsome young man, who, in more senses than one, is a prisoner of love. In fact, his whole crime is love. He is really a fine-looking fellow, has a smooth face, classic features, and a wealth of rich blonde hair. He is a native of Prussia, and has not been quite three years on the free soil of America. His name is Julius Bieber, and he was arrested yester day afternoon by Detective Fitzgerald at Cnrr's restaurant, on Liberty street, on a charge of larceny preferred by Eugene Gar Inch, of New York, whef e he will be taken to-night. Even the police officers believe the young man innocent, and that all his trouble grew out of his love for pretty Leopoldine Winter nitz, and upon that love hangs his tale of woe. As related last night, by Inspector McAleese, it was as follows: Julius Bieber is the son of a stockbroker in Stuttgart, Prussia. He started for America on the steamer Westerland, and landed in New York June 1,1887. On the way over he met the family of Dr. Winter mtz, of New York. They were also from Prussia, but the doctor had been in New York for two years, and had established a lucrative practice. The family was just re turning from a trip to the Fatherland. Bieber was introduced into the family cir cles and became quite a favorite. Especially was he attracted by the brown-haired Leo poldine. She had a fair complexion, blue eyes, and a pair of rosy lips. CAPTURED BT CTJP1D. The voung Prussian succeeded in New York, both in business and in falling in love with the doctor's daughter. At the doctor's home, 305 East Seventy-second street, he was a welcome truest, and alter an 18 months' courtship, Bieber was made happy by the fair Leopoldine giving her consent to their marriage, and she soon car ried a handsome watch which her lover had presented to her. During this time Bieber had worked at various things. Finally he become asso ciated with Dr. Cowan, who was connected with a newspaper. The two of them got up a sewing machine after the style of the Wilcox-Gibbs machine. Bieber put all his money in the machine, and had the discomfiture of seeing his partner decamp with the model. It would cost 52,000 to have another model made, ana that was a mountain compared with the young Prus sian's finances. Leopoldine's mother heard of Bieber's failure and her manner at once changed. A fight resulted, and Bieber was refused ad mittance to the house. Their love, how ever, was too strong for the parents to sepa rate, and the loving pair, who continued to meet clandestinely, and many a little tryst was held under the noses of the parents without the knowledge of the old folks. ' In the meanwhile the young man was "on his uppers." He was, however, solid with nis ooarumg-nouse Keeper, Airs. Greenfield. She was a charming lady of 25 years, and, besides serving hash to her victims, told fortunes as a means of increasing her reve nue. She had prophesied plain sailing for the Prussian, and, in order to keep up her reputation of having a dead cinch on future events, she took care of the young man. She boarded him free and gave him some spending money. PAWNED THE WATCH. To his sweetheart, however, Bieber ac knowledged his straitened cirenmstances, and she wanted him to take back the gold watch. He refused, but she insisted, and the watch passed into the hands of ac ac commodating "uncle." Dr. Winternitz soon saw how the wind was blowing, and sent his daughter to his friend, Dr. Monk, at 78 Cedar avenue, Al legheny. Bieber was then left in New York by his ''lonely." He was despon dent. He had no money, and his love was 500 miles away. At last he met Mrs. Bar tell, whose home was in Prussia, near the birthplace of Bieber. She was going home, and wanted the young man to go with her. He finally agreed, and she bought him some clothes and gave him ?25. That was what he had looked for. Instead of returning to the Fatherland, he bought a ticket for Pittsburg, and arrived here three weeks ago. He hunted for his promised bride, and finally met her at Twelfth street and Penn avenue. She wks with Mrs. Dr. Monk, and nothing further than a call could be exchanged. Bieber followed the ladies to their home, and was rewarded with a kiss from his sweetheart but alas! it was only one thrown while'the doctor's wife was not watching. He then secured work at Edmundson & Perrine's furniture store, on Smithfield street He trot a boarding house at Dar ragh's, GO James street, Allegheny, near where his fiancee was living. Every even ing, as he went home, Leopoldine watched for him from an upper window, and wafted a kiss to him. He could see the people in the lower part of the house, and was afraid to return it. At last, though, he did so, and the doctor saw it, THE TELLTALE TELEGKAPH. That evening a telegram clicked over the wires to Dr. Winternitz, that Bieber was in town. That was Saturday evening. On Monday the Pittsburg police authorities were asked by Detective Richard Brady, of the Thirty-fourth New York precinct, to arrest Juliu Bieber on a charge ot larceny. Detective Fitzgerald called at Darrngh's house that evening and asked for Bieber, knowing that he was in the house at the time. Darragh recognized the detective and at once warned Bieber, who mnde him self scarce. The detective started on a hunt, and, after chasing for almost a week, found the man. In the meantime a large number of photographs of Bieber had been sent on from New York, and through them he was recognized yesterday while eating lunch in Curr's restaurant. He was taken to Central station and locked up. Tiie New York officers were notified, and said they would be here to-day to take him to New York. Bieberdenies that he stole anything, and says it is but a scheme to get him away from Miss Winternitz. He says he has no fears about going back to New York, and can answer all charges. Inspector McAleese said last night that he was satisfied the young man was not guilty. He believes it is a job put up by Dr. Winternitz to have the young Prussian put out of the way. STABBED AN OFFICES. Policeman McDononcb, of Allecbrny, Re ceives Two Ugly Cuts In the Raclc. James Goudy lives with his parents, who keep a dairy out the New Brighton road. The young man loaded up last evening with bad whisky and, going home, made life very disagreeable tor his parents. Officers Mc Donough and Connelly, of the Allegheny force, were sent tor to arrest him. The young man heard of it, and arming himself with an old saber, he awaited their coming. McDpnough arrived first and the boy attacked him. McDonough was stabbed twice iu the back, but the cuts, though painful, arc not considered serious. Officer Connelly soon appeared on the scene, and with his mace clubbed Goudy into submis sion. The young fellow was taken to the Central station, where the bruises about his head were dressed.

Cnptnln O'Neil Worried Abont His Son nnd Dnurjliter In IiOnisrllle 7,000,000 Bush els of Coal Stored There Operntors Very Anxious Abont Their Property. Captain W. W. O'Neil sat in the Du qnesne Hotel last evening nervously wait ing for tidings from Louisville. His son, W. W. O'Neil, Jr., and nephew of John O'Neil, were at the Gait House at the time of the flood, while General and Mrs. Ekin, the latter being the Captain's daughter, live in the northwestern portion of the city. Superintendent Turner, of the Panhandle road.succeeded in getting a message through to the operator in the stricken city, and he telegraphed back that Northwest Louisville, where General Ekin and wife lived, was not in the track of the cyclone, and that the Gait House and Louisville Hotel were both saved, though buildings adjoining were badly wrecked. He thought the O'Neils and Ekins had escaped uninjured. Many of the Pittsburg operators have coal lying a't Louisville. Captain O'Neil esti mated that 7,000,000 bushels were stored there. His company had 2,000,000 bushels and Walton & Co. 3,000,000. W.H.Brown's Sons have 20 coal boats; Addison Lysle, 14 boats; Captain Crump, 93 pieces, and Thomas Fawcett & Sons think they had 500,000 bushels. "I don't care anything about the coal," said Captain O'Neil last evening. "I can make that up if it is lost, but I am anxious to know whether my people are safe or not." Captain McDonald thought that if the coal was lost that it was so divided among operators that none of thpm would suffer severely. It will be remembered that it was such heavy losses of coal from a storm at New Orleans that swamped the Grand Lake Coal Company about a year ago. When the Panhandle express from the west arrived last evening there were no Louisville passengers. The Louisville and Nashville road was cnt off below Cincin nati. The colored porters reported that there was not much excitement in the latter city. BACKING HOME TELEGRAPHERS. Messrs. Eltenmlllrr nnd Bishop Will Repre sent This City. The telegraph operators of this city are getting all their loose change together for the purpose of backing the Pittsburg rep resentatives in the telegraph tournament to be held in New York April 10. George M. Eitenmiller, Western wire chief, and E. C. Bishop, both well-known Western Union men, will represent this city. Mr. Eiten miller will go in the old timers, and Mr. Bishop will be entered in the first class. "Eity," as he is known all over the coun try, was one of the fastest men in the ser vice, and still holds his "grip." Mr. Bishop is also a very fast sender, antLmade a record handling press matter in this city. In practice Mr. Bishop has sent 500 words in 10 minutes and 28 seconds. The matter was sent nut of a speech and was at the rate ot about 50 words per minute, if he can do as well iu the tournament, his friends say he will take the first prize. The contestants iu the tournament will be given printed matter they never saw before and will be told to go ahead on it. The contest will not only depend on the rapidity of the contestant, but upon the quality ot the Morse as well. If the charac ters are not plaiuly made, it will be to the discredit of the sender. An expert receiver with a typewriter will receive the stuff, and it each character is not distinct and clear he will say so. In addition to this the wire will be short circuited to a Wheatstone instrument and the characters run out on a roll of paper, similar to that used on the old style printing telegraph instrument. The best time ever made in a tournament is 500 words in 10 minutes and 32 seconds. Each contestant will be given two minutes to adjust his instrument. The sending will be done on the latest style improved keys. All the telegraph supply companies will give prizes in addition to the money prizes. PITTSBUEGERS WANT DAMAGES. They Say Their Business Was Injured by Building the Herr'n Island Dnin. A committee of Pittsburgers consisting of Samuel Walker, representing Harbison & Walker. Mark W. Watson, of William McCully & Company, and Alexander M. Hamilton, of W. H. Hamilton & Com pany, is in Washington to obtain a hearing before the Hirers and Harbors Committee. To The Dispatch correspondent Mr. Walker said: "We are here representing! some of the property owners along the Pittsburg side ot the Allegheny river, in the neighborhood of Herr's Island dam. We want 'the Gov ernment to pay us damages for cutting off our connection with the river, by building the lock wall in front of our property. Formerly we used to be able to get our coal and fire-clay brought to us by boat, but that is no longer possible nnd we think that our property has been depreciated in value from this cause. We do not name any amount as damages required by us, but are willing to have that point settled by any properly constituted authority; by a board of appraisers or by the courts. We cannot sue the Government, our attorney informs us, and the only other course re maining to us was to come and see the Hi vers and Harbors Committee." ONE DANGER OF AMBITION. How Buildings May bo Erected Too nigh for Perfect Safely. Reports of the doings of the cyclone in Louisville and other Western cities have stirred up a feeling in this city against the erection of very high buildings. It is said that the law prevents builders from build ing so high that a structure in falling would reach the opposite side ot a street, and Pittsburg objectors point to the destruction of the Willey building last winter, which, in its tall, crusueu an me structures adjacent. It is supposed that very tall buildings would be more likely to tumble during a cyclone than those of uniform height, as the lofty structures not only citch more wind but lack the bracing that their shorter neighbors have. WHAT PEOPLE ARE DOING. Some Who Trnvel, Somo Who Do Not, nnd Others Who Talk. Captain Joseph Steele, of Cramp & Sons, the snip builders, returned to Philadel phia last evening. The Captain slyly remarked that possibly the dynamite shells from the new boat, Vesuvius, turned luck the Gulfream from tho Delaware, this dammed up the Gulf nf Mexico and the Mississippi, causing tho recent floods in the Ohio Valley. W. Grovener and W. T. Anderson, from Rawlins. Wyo., are in the city, and havo closed a contract with tho Union Pacific agency for the shipment of a full equipment ot oil well supplies for the development of a newly-discovered oil field in Wjoming, near tho line of the Union Pacific Railroad. TJ. J. Alexander, the manager of the new town Charleroi, went to Philadelphia last eveningtohave a consultation with General Manager Pugb, of tho Pcnnsjlvania road, about the erection of a depot. Mr. Alexander said that all arrangements for the depot would soon be completed. L. H. Smith, ex-President of the New York Consolidated Stock and Petroleum Ex change, was in Pittsburg yestvday. He said he had come here on oil business but he declined to specify its nature. Ho returned to New York last evenlne. Among the eastbound passengers last evening were Isaac Van Voorhis, Esq., Joseph Marshall. C. H. Miller, Chief Brown and the Hon. David Kirk. Senator Voorhecs, of Indiana, passed through the city yesterday bound for Chicago. He was in one of his reticent moods, hence no interview follows. George T. Oliver returned from Phila delphia yesterday. He says he will make no appointments in tho census work before May L SATURDAY. .MARCH 29, TOTES FOR CLAREY. The Eastern Window Factories Said to be Solid in His Favor. ADVANCE FOR MARBLE WORKERS, Coal Miners and Operators' Scale Meeting Called for April 14. PICKINGS FROM LABOR QUARTERS There was an unusually large attendance of window glass workers at the meeting of L. A. 300 last night. It was expected that something definite would be learned as to the result of the contest for President, but no knowledge can be obtained uutil the middle of next week: The official count will be reported at the meeting on Friday evening next. Secretary Cake reported that the voting sheets were nearly all in. Only a few pre ceptories, he said, had not been heard from, but their yote had was expected to-day or Monday. At the meeting of the Counci 1 to night, when the vote was to have been counted, nothing will be done. Secretary Cake was instructed to tabnlate the vote and report at next Friday's meeting. John Cahill, the well-known glass worker, returned yesterday from a tour of the East ern preceptories in the interest of his paper. He said to a Dispatch reporter: "I think that Clarey will be elected. In the four lac tones in Baltimore he will get every vote. President Campbell was there in the interest of Mr. Eberhart and tried to convey the im pression that Clarey was not the man for the place. A great many of the men knew Clarey and turned around and worked for him. As a result a great many votes that Eberhart would have gotten went to Clarey. In New Jersey, Wallace, of Millville,will get the votes, with the exception of Bridge ton, which will go lor Clarey. Up in New York State a great many ot the preceptories will send in solid votes for Clarey. In the West the preceptories have been worked for Eber hart. I understand upon good authority that the vote of Jeannette, which will prob ably decide the contest is being held back." FOR THE MINERS' SCALE. The Board of Arbltrntlon Will Meet Jn Columbus, April 15. Alexander Dempster, of this city. Chair man of the Inter-State Board of Arbitration of Coal Operators and Miners, yesterday sent out a call for the meeting of the board to settle next year's scale. He says it was done at the request of National Master Workman Kae. It is addressed to the miners and operators of the States of In diana, Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia, and reads: "Conforming to the expressed desire of miners and operators in Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania, I hereby call a convention of the miners and operators of the five named States to be held in the city of Columbus, O.. on the 15th day of April at 10 o'clock in the morning for the purpose of arranging a schedule of ruining rates for the ensuing year from May 1, 1890." Whether the operators in Illinois and Indiana will attend the meeting or not is another matter. A strike of five and another of seven months has just been ended in those States. In one of the strikes the miners won a partial victory and in the other they were deleated. In view of this, it is said, it is possible that the operators will not at tend. Patrick McBryde, in conversation with a Dispatch reporter some weeks ago, said they would leave the other mines stand idle until the Illinois and Indiana men agreed to a scale conference. This, he said, was the only way to secure recognition now from those operators. MRS. LESLIE HERE. She Will Look After Stores Wbero Sales ladies Are Not Supplied With Chairs. Mrs. Nan Y. Leslie, of Titusville, the Woman Factory Inspector for this district, arrived in the city yesterday and is at the Hotel Boyer. She is the Master Workman of L. A. 1024, K. of L., and is the only labor representative.on the commission. Mrs. Leslie is a pleasant, bright-eyed and keen lady, and to a Dispatch reporter she said: "I find that mv co-laborer, Captain Baker, has done considerable work in this city, and I am afraid he has got a good start on me. We will lay out the work between us, but I have no idea how long it will take us to go through your city. My work will be chiefly confined to the pluces where women mostly work. This will be in stores, packinn establishments and light work shops. I will pay particular attention to the stores where the salesladies are not allowed to sit down during the day, and ex pect to do considerable good in the way of stopping this inhuman practice. I will start to work at once." Mrs. Leslie reported the Knights of Labor to be in a flourishing condition in the section she represents. STRIKERS TO MEET T0-DAT. Oliver's Men to Discuss the Trooblo at n, Lodge Meeting. A meeting of Custer Lodge of the Amal gamated Association, to which the strikers at Oliver Bros. & Phillips' mill belong, will be held at 3 o'clock this alternoon. The Mill Committee will make their report of the progress of the strike. Under the rules of the association they cannot make any overtures to the firm, and must wait until they are sent for. There were no changes in the situation yesterday. Everything was quiet around the mill. The strikers are keeping away from the plant. The two crews in the yards have been compelled to divide the time, so that each crew makes but half time. The steel works of the Fifteenth street mill will close down next Monday for re pairs. A large number of men will be thrown idle. TO TRY STEEL CARS. Tho Pennsylvania Company Will Make tho Experiment In the Lake Trade. The Pennsylvania Company is consider ing the advisability of putting steel cars in use on their lines to the lakes for the pur pose of carrying iron ore. It is understood that they have asked for bids for the con struction of the cars and will give them a trial iu the lake service.
