Palmer 0'leill Says a Few Words About the Present Situation. THE SPORTIXG NEWS OF THE DAT There was a desperate prize fight at Wilkesbarre for the lightweight champion ship. A colored man won. There is more interesting and singular talk aboct the Playe League schedule. Ifew ball play ers arrive. J. Palmer O'Neill talks about the condition of baseball affairs. ISrEClAI. TXLZGKAM TO TI1B DISrxTCIT.1 "Wilkesbaree, Pa., March 31. Dan O'Donnell, of Scranton. and James Jackson (colored), of this city, fought for the light weight championship of Northeastern Penn sylvania, in Jester's Clnb rooms, this after noon. O'Donnell started in aggressively, knocking his man down in the first round and drawing blood in the second. During the rest of the fight Jackson was the best man. He knocked his opponent all over the ring. In the eleventh round O'Donnell was sent sprawling on bis back. It is alleged that Jackson struck him -while down. Foul was claimed but not allowed. O'Donnell refused to eo on with the fight and Jackson was declared the winner. TVELL-KNOWJ? SEK. Both contestants are w ell known throngnout the Eastern part of the State. Many patrons of the ring nave heretofore claimed that Jack son was the best colored man of his weight in America. To-day's battle was in many respects to test him for a contest with a national cham pion. The result shows that Jackson is a clever little fellow and a pugilist that will mate his mark. From beginning to end of the battle it was fierce. Both men wero punished severely, and at the end of the fourth round it was thought that neither man would last another round. SCIEXCE HAD THE EFFECT. "O'Donnell was the heavier man and he used bis strength aggressively in the beginning of the fight and Jackson used bis science. The fight was of the brutal kind because both men were prepared to take all punishment they could stand. Jackson now claims the light weight championship of Pennsylvania. The claim of foul is not acknowled by any authority present. There are several fights pending in this dis trict and almost every contestant claims to be a champion. 7"here are two or three good col ored young men lierc and several middle-weight white fighters. Out of the latter there is cer tainly one good man whose name will one of these days oe mentioned publicly. But if an investigation took place by an enterprising speculator he would find some good men here. THE 31'EEESFOET CLUB. Great Frcparntlons Being Made to Stnrile All Their Opponents. TFrECIAI. ixlegbam to Tns msri.Tcn.1 McKEEsroKT, March 31. The new JIcKees port club is commencing to report, them being eight of them now berc. Baker, Milbee, Lea mon and Provins reported Saturday, and Pat terson, Duncan, Keating came in to-day, and to-morrow Kunmngcr, of Franklin; Walton, of Bcranton; Plutnmer, of Boston, and Jahns, from Saginaw, will be here.

Great interest is being taken in the clubhere, and crowds follow the players arouni when they go out to exercise. Twenty-five men started to work on the grounds to-day, and bad the weather been good we would have had the grounds in excellent shape by the end of this week. The team that mil must likely play against Pittsburg on Friday next will be: Mil bee, pitcher; Cote, shortstop; Duncan, catcher: Voss. first: Keatimr. second: Johns, third: Provins, left field; Leamon, center field; Baker or Patterson, right field. THEI STAND UXRtFUTED. The Argument Abont n Cliansc of Schedule Still Untouched. The interview with Manager Hanlon, pub lished in this paper yesterday, caused consid erable talk amonc baseball people. The state ment at first sight caused the customary con clusionthat is the one that is attained with out thought, to prompt many to shout out something about "weakening" and "backing down." "cowardice," eta These cries pre vailed on better thought to the extent that several of the directors of the new local clnb, who have all along been wishing for no coflict lng dates, haven't nerve enough to defend a principle of good business, and, therefore, of successful warfare, but turned over to those people who have not a dollar invested m the business, but who sometimes can cry "wolf" when no wolf is near the sheep. John Tcner. who leaves this evening to at tend the New York meeting to-morrow, will support the popular cry. limited, that is: "War to the knife." It is understood that he is going to vote atrainst a change of schedule. The fact is tbat almost every director and good friend of the local new club knows that its best and most successful move is to have a change of schedule. Outside of a childish sentiment there is no factor argument tbat can be urged against a change. Tbe arguments of Manager Hanlon published, in thfi paper yes terday, so far stand unref uted. BILLT IS HERE. The New Second Banemnn Arrives nnd Has Something to Say. "Billy" Robinson, the new second base player of the new local clnb, arrived in the city last evening. Great hoDes are centered in "Billy," particularly by Manager Hanlon, and if he fulfils them he will be a great ball player. He is one of the new men to the new League, that is be comes from the American Association. Robinson has an excellent prestice as a ball player. Good, or at least experienced men say, be is better than Dnnlap. Time will tell that. Robinson traveled much of his journey with Secretary Bruuell and Al Johnson. The latter during a train conversation, stated that on Saturday, at St. Louis, 150 were present to see Von der Abe's American Association team play with another team, andjdespite tbe rain, street cars were stopped about the hotel at wnicb tbe Players' League teams were located on Sun day, by immense crowds expecting to see tbe Brotherhood players play. Unfortunatelv, the weather prevented the came, and Mr. Johnson estimates tbat 20.000 seats were not occupied on that day that otherwise would have been oc cupied. Doubtless. St. Louis a great Brotherhood, or it may be. Players' League town, and would" be content with any schedule. Secretary Tener yesterday declared that the city named would be an enthusiastic Brotherhood city, that is, a new League city. Visner, another man from the American Association, will arrive to-day. He is a good player. PALMER O'SEIL IS I0W-V. The Local Director Saj a Few TVordi on Bnseball Affairs. Director J. Palmer O'lfeil, of the local League, was in tbe city yesterday. He was on his way from New York to Chicago. He had not much to say about baseball affairs, but found time to sav: There nas been a great change ot feeling in New York regarding the baseball situation. Since Mr. Day has leased tbe Polo Grounds for five) ears, and secured a first-class team, all tbe followers of the old clnb there are with him. He has a better team than the Players' League team is, and that is the general opinion in New York. The truth Is If we examine all tbe Players' League teams in the country we will not find a thoroughly powerful one among them. "I think the Players' League schedule will be changed. Tbat League won't live long at any rate, but bv changing its schedule I certainly tblnk it will havu a better chance to get along. So doubt it would be a good business stroke to change it," JIE. O'.VEUS PROPHECY. He la Psaitlve That ilio Plnyer' League Cannot Ex!it. J. Palmer O'Neil had the following to say to Brother Mandigo, of the New York San on Sunday: It's onlr a question of a very little time, he said, when a great many of these same players would have to step out and their places supplied bv younjrer men. '.Mr. O'Nell is quite positive that the Brother hood cannot exist long. No co-operative organi zation like that can stand and succeed against sueh a substantial body as the National league. Take New York as an example," said he. "lou will have two club, and notwithstanding it Is one of the best baseball cities in the country. It could hardly support one club. lam told that ilr. Day has been identified with a club for elzht years. Five years, it !s said, he made both ends meet: two years he made money, and last year he wasaloser. Xow, what show Is there for a sec ond clnb In the metropolis?" ilr. O'Nell said that the fituburg club would probably sign Dnnlap, and that the management had a two years' eontraetwitii I'ete rvnwrv u bought Conway from the Detroit club," he con tinued. 'forflSOO, and gave Iilmasalaryort3.700. He pitched In bnt two games, one or which be lost. Last lalL Just upon the eve or signing a contract, Conway told President Mmlck that be thought his arm was all right In the spring, and he couldn't understand why he was unable to do effective work In the box. He farther said that he wnnlrfclvn contract, bat be would not ask for bis original salary, and named fia as thcamonnt. Ho placed bis name to the document which called Tor two years' service. We can bold Conwav, but 1 am strongly In favor oriettlng mm go. I am not so certain that his arm will ever be in good condition again." TDK OLD LEAGUE CI.UB. Tory Bnd Weather Threaten the Exhibition Contest TliU Work. If this inclement weather continues. Sir Gny and bis youngsters and oldsters will not get ont to do battle this week. The colts, and some of them would be classed bejondthc mark of colts in many places, were ont yesterday, and the infield were on tho bases. Youngman, the new local second baseman, showed up well: he performed ell. No doubt Manager Hecker has some good and promising joung players, and they are worthy of patronizing. Jlaiu- of them have had a long experience in baseball playinc and are by no means "green hands." If Dnnlap comes here Sir Guv will have a more than average inneid. lie has an excellent outfield, and probably the baseball public will discover that fact before the season ends. Sowdersand probably the ever popular Billy Sunday will be here to-day. The Finnl Decree. New Yoke, March 3L-Jndge Lawrence in the Supreme Court this afternoon handed down a decision one page lone deciding in favor of John M. Ward in the suit brought against him by the Metropolitan Exhibition Company. The Judge says the plaintitT has informed him that its counsel mil not submit a brief as be is of opinion that the contract with Ward cannot be enforced in a court of equity, gives judgment dismissing the complaint. ABOUT TDK WRESTLERS. Jim Connora Returns nnd Issues a Challenge to the World. James Connors, the well-known middle weight wrestler, of this city, returned from his Western tour yesterday. He has been from the city for several months, and has taken part in many prominent contests. His last was last week when he wrestled against McMillan, the heavy-weight. The latter undertook to throw Connors once in 15 minutes, and failed. .During a conversation regarding the prominent catch-as-catch-can wre-tlers. Connors said: "Wrestling is booming out West, and some first-class contests are taking place every week. I think Carkoek is the best of all; at any rate I am inclined to think that he can defeat my brother Tom, if both are in condition. Car keek is the best lifter I have ever seen, and he is so much bigger and stronger than Tom that he can lift Tom np and throw him down with a force that bi eaks him all up. Of coarse Green is a big man and a coort one, and a con test between him and Carkeek would be a good one. Oh yes. Carkeek is a better man than Lewis. Tom, however, is willlne to give any ..t .Sm,a ,K- He is doins weI1 ln Milwaukee. I think lain a better wrestler than i was and lam willing to wrestle any middle weight in the world. I think the Buffalo Athletic Club will offer a prize for the middleweight championship contest, and I am ready to meet any man who desires to contest for the purse. amr,r,atlr.at an ,lme :o wrestle Jess Clarke, and Til undertake to throw him a number of times in an hour."

Clii-ton Race Track, March 3L The weather was raw and cold to-day at Clifton, but the racing was continued to a large attend ance. The track was in very good condition, much to the delight of the crowd, who think favorites have a better chance to win on a dry track.

If Farrell and Upham are definitely matched the Pittsburger will accommodate Nikirk before bis fight with Unham. The con test, however, must be such that the winner takes all. Sponine Notes. Preacher: Yon cannot givo a man out ln tbe game you mention. Jimmy Peeples has been appointed manager ot tbe Canton ball club. THIS kind ot weather will knock the exhi bition games on the head. D. R. Dorak. the local amateur feather weicht boxer, ha? left on a tour through Texas and the Southwest. Those who make most noise about the changing of the Players' league schednlebeing a "backdown" are persons who have not SI invested in tbe venture. Jeff Seabrook failed toappearat the office yesterday to make a match to run WeWnds. . v -'" ""'.. , ,"?'""c"w remain until this evening at 6 o clock. The sentimental dread of being called "weakeners" ha caused many Players' League officials to turn their backs on their previous statements about the wisdom of Changing tho DVUCUUIC Mayor McCallin states that when he leaves office next week be will devote his entire attention to the fixing up of the new ball grounds. He means to have them in sbape as soon as possible. The Tri-State League directors have made Samuel A. Rote, of Braddock, an offer to act as umpire at SIX) a month. Rose did good ser vice in the Countv League lastyear. However, he declines this offer. Bart J. Doras', the local boxer, has gone to Philadelphia to fill the position of Professor of Physical Culture in the military academy at Chester. He filled a similar position at the Michigan Militarj Academy. "Danny" Shields will again be found doing dutv for the Drummers, of Erie, this season. Better offers were received by him from other clubs, but because of his good treat ment from tbe inanacers. ulavers and natrons of the Erie club last year he concluded they were entitled to his services. i. CHILLED BY SNOWS. Suffering in a Kew Form at Stricken City of Louisville. the BELIEF COMES BUT MORE NEEDED. The Devastated Districts Under Martial Law to Prevent Bobbery. OHIO CODKTT, EI., STRICKEN TWICE. 1 Flood Followed the Tornado and Nine Lilts Were Wiped Ont. Four inches of snow and slush cover the streets of Louisville and the humbler classes who have only canvas to cover them suffer intensely. The Mayor says $500,000 would help these people greatly. The districts are under martial law against plunderers. Louisville, March 31. "With four inches of water-soaked snow, which has slowly melted during the day, the situation in the tornado-stricken district has been gloomy indeed. Right is settling down dismal and dreary upon the wrecked homes, and in spite of all t Sorts there arc many broken in spirit, though physical wants are supplied. The lights gleaming through a vapor-laden atmosphere serve only to reveal pictures of desolation. The streets are in many places ankle deep in mud and water, and ice cold streams pour from everywhere. The worst result of the wet is not so much an additional injury to property aud goods as in suuering to ill-protected people. Scores of families are shel tered only by hastily put up boards or can vas, and they are wet and cold. Thanks to a generous and intelligently conducted relief THERE IS PLENTY OF FOOD and hunger is not now among the miseries. Much has been done during the day ior re lief and much more is being done to-night. The relief committees and agents are active ly supplying such protection from the weather as is possible. The most needy are first supplied. In the residence portion of the desolated district, the snow has greatly retarded re pairs. To-night very lew of the houses, even where least damaged, are habitable. Much household goods has been exposed to the weather and proportionately to the total value involved, much greater loss has been caused by the snow to house keepers of moderate means than to business houses and market streets, or even the to bacco warehousemen. The latter have all succeeded in getting most of their property under shelter of some sort. The household effects would not repay the extraordinary measures taken to save stocks of goods, and thousands of dollars' wortb in the aggre gate, scattered through some 30 blocks of the city, will lie in the wet for a davor two longer. On Main street signs have been put up i n man v partly wrecked stores that orders will be filled as usual and business has been resumed. A STATEMENT FK05I THE MATOR. In an interview with the Associated Press to-day, Mayor Jacobs said: We have now about recovered all the bodies of those who were destroyed by the recent tor nado, and I am thoroughly satisfied that tbe total number of those who were killed outright and those who will die from wounds sustained thereby, will not reach 150. While the destruc tion of property was very heavy, still the great est suffering will fall upon our humbler classes, who were living ln their modest homes that had been accumulated by years of toil. In my judsrment, f500,(KX) will go far toward making whole tbe losses of these poor people, but such as these will have to be cared for, no matter at what cost. As far as the business is concerned, with the exception of tbe leaf tobacco market, it has never been sus pended, and even in this branch of trade one half of tbe warehouses were intact, and all are now ready for custom, as ampletorage room has been acquired in other carts of tbe city. Notwithstanding only two days had elapsed after the cyclone, all wrecks and debris had been removed on yesterday. I have never seen such courage and recuper ative power a3 has been evinced by all who have been afflicted, and while recognizing, as some do, that tbe fruits of a lifetime of labor have been swept away, still they bow bravely and with proper humility to their fate. As far as nnblic auiet Is concerned, order has never been better, and outside of the narrow limits of tbe district swept by tbe storm, no one would know that be was in a city tbat had been scourged by a fierce and most desolating tor nado. THE DISTRICT UNDER MARTIAL LAW. While there have been fewer criminal at tempts than expected, considering the ex posed condition of property, one or two in stances have proved the wisdom of placing the district under martial law and putting the State guard on picket duty. Ed Myers, Isadore Lowenstein. A. J. Marks and Ike Delman, .Russian Jews, are locked up in Central police station charged with arson. They were caught building a large fire in a demolished store on Market street between Tenth and Eleventh, which is in themidst of the shattered district. The fire was ex tinguished before it had made much head way. Mrs. Barnwell, wife of the rector of St. John's Church, was robbed ol everything she had. All her jewelry was found to have been taken from a bureau drawer, and a box containing silverware was broken open aud the contents taken away. Even the body ot the dead minister was not sacred and his gold watch, which the widow cher ishes particularly, was taken from his pocket. Ou Friday two ladies visited the demolished house to secure Mrs. Barnwell's sewing ma chine for her. They placed it on the pave ment, and while absent within the machine was carried off. These outrageous cases are, however, the only ones reported. RELIEF POURING IN. The total amount of the relief fund ap proximates $110,000. The Board of Trade has to-day received subscriptions amounting to $17,000, while numerous checks have been sent in to the Mayor's office and the newspaper offices. Among others the Cour ier Journal doubled its subscription. The Louisville and Nashville Railroad sub scribed $10,000. At the meeting of the Ex ecutive Committe of the Board of Trade Be lief Committee this afternoon the following was adopted: Resolved. In answer to numerous inquiries from persons at home and abroad, the Board of Trade Relief Committee announces that fur ther liberal contributions from Louisville citi zens and, corporations are greatly needed, and are most earnestly requested. If tbe contribu tions from our owp people are not sufficiontto relieve the distress of sufferers by the storm, the committee will appeal for assistance from outside of the city aud State. Until then all voluutary contributions of money will be ac cepted and ued if needed. W. T. KOTir, Chairman L'HAS. u. JACOIl. .Maor. ,'r 'TWTTTWT T Tl) President Board f Trade. The' total number killed by the tornado here Thursday night is 93. This includes John Schell, a saloon keeper, who died to day of his injuries. It is feared that B. B. Barton, of Catlettsburg, is dead in the ruins. So far about 150 badly injured have been discovered. A special from Henderson says tbe total of killed in Webster county is 40, and of wounded 80. Nearly all are in a poor sec tion known as Black Ford. A relief corps has gone to them from Henderson, A FLOOD FOLLOWED. Ohio County. After lielns Storm Swept, nfT.-r Heavily From KnginB Wnter Nine Peraona Killed- Many" Fino Fnrma Dnmased. rsrECIAI. TSLKOBXK TO Tns DISrATCB.1 Paducah, Kt., March 31. Alter leav ing Metropolis, 111., the cyclone of lust Thursday nieht seems to have headed di rectly for Louisville, stopping, however, in Ohio connty, Ky., to inflict special damage. The loss of life was light com pared with the 'amount of dam age done, nine dead being the extent 6 the list of the dead so far. At Beda half a dozen houses were leveled and a child of William Daniels killed. Tbe greatest destruction was, however, along Rough creek, a large stream that crosses the county from east to west. Nearly all the way the stream runs through high banks with wide bottoms, and a high level above it. The most substantial larmers of the county live along the stream and Hartford, the county seat, is on its banks. Here the roof ot the Court House and one end of the jail were blown away. At Sulphur Springs the scboolhouse was demolished and the wife and one child of Hiram Snmmers killed. .The rain fell in torrents and every small stream was soon out ol its banks. Now happened a strange thing. The storm had torn down immense numbers of fences and they had caught in the streams; limbs of trees and other wreckage also abounded. The waters ot the smaller streams carried it all into Eough creek. Soon the channel would choke until the mighty pressure of waters thrust the dam anart and pushed it further down. At last the debris became too thick and strongly matted together and formed an impregnable dam at Bed Oak. It grew higher and stronger until the waters were pushed on to the surronndincr bottoms where they did im mense damage, drowning live stock, carry ing off fence' and ruining fields of wheat. In attempting to cross the back water John Jackson, Elihu Morgan, and a son of the latter were drowned. Reports from other parts of the counly add three to the list of the dead, aud make the property loss niauy thousands. THE FLACK CASE. Tho Father, Son nnd Referee Sentenced to a Fine nnd Imprisonment A Stay Granted Tho Deputy Sheriffs Go Scott Free. ItovYoKK, March 31. Judge Barrett this morning sentenced Choate, tbe re porter, to 30 days' imprisonment and to pay a tine of $250. The Judge refused a new trial in the Flack case, and sentenced ex Sheriff Flack to pay a fine of $500 and to be imprisoned in the county jail for two months: Joseph Meeks, the referee, fined $500 and to be imprisoned in the county jail ior one month, and William L. Elack to a fine of $500 and to be imprisoned in the penitentiary for four months. A stay of execution was granted by Judge Van Brunt on the ground that the defendants' case had been prejudiced by the presence of the reporter. The stay will give them their liberty until the decision of the appeal to the general term on the bail of $7,600 each, which has been furnished. Beputy Sheriffs Martin, Walsh and Young, who had been indicted for bribery in taking $700 from Charles G. Fraucklyn, who was arrested at the instance of Sir Bache Cunard in 1887, go scott lree. The case came up on a demurrer to the indict ments. Tbe Court held tbat the Sheriff is not obliged to take a civil prisoner to jail, but that he may at pleasure keep bim any where within the county in custody. It being admitted that the money had been received for allowing Francklyn to go about the city for bail, the Judge said that the felony known as bribery could not bold. as the money had not been taken for the doing or omission ot an official act. He therefore sustained the demurrers and freed the defendants. He said the facts would warrant the charge of misdemeanor under the section of the civil code forbidding an officer to take a gratuity, but the indictment here charged bribery, which is a felony. As the crime occurred more than two years ago they cannot be indicted for a misdemeanor. A S0IJTIISIDG SENSATION. An Enrnced. Husband Chases His Wlfe'i Ecort Dp Carson Street. Considerable commotion was caused about 10 o'clock last night on Sonth Fifteenth street by loud cries of "Stop thief." A man was seen chasing another along that thoroughfare. A crowd soon joined in tbe pursuit, but tbe pur sued party darted into a convenient alleyway and escaped. Tbe cause of all this excitement was that William Lyons, a Breed street resi dent, had discovered hi3 wife parading the streets with another man. The enraged husband placed the companion of his wife under arrest and was taking bim to the Twenty-eighth ward station, when the man, who said his name was Davis, broke away from bim aud managed to escape.

Cnrneslo Library to be Closed No Longer to the Pnbllc. The City Property Committee, of Allegheny, has risen to the situation, and has ordered that tho big doors bo opened to let the public enjoy the beautiful gift of Mr. Carnegie. Mr. Lare last night offered a resolution opening the en tire building to the public on week days, from the hours of 8 o'clock in the morning till 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and from 7 o'clock until 9 in the evening. In his remarks he took strong ground against delay, and stated that Councils had no right to withhold from the public tho nse and enjoyment of public prop erty, given to the city bv a practical man for practical-uses. The objection was raised that the public use of the building might soil it, bnt Mr. Lare contended that the officers chosen by the touuciN weie there to keep the building in order, and might as well be at work. Mr. Ar thur Kennedy opposed the plan with considera ble vigor, fearing that the building would bo overrun with an indiscriminate mob of cbil dren. with nobody to watch them. Mr. Ken nedys amendment, providing that the hours of opening be from 8 o'clock in the morning to i in the afternoon, was finally passed. The building will therefore be open this mornin-. Mr. Leonard Wales was authorized by the committee to give a free organ recital, as an experiment, next Saturday afternoon. PEACEABLY TEANSFERRED. Mr. Swan Steps Quietly Ont of the AIIc cheny I'oslofflce. Postmaster Swan's announced belligerent In tentions of hanging on to the Allecheny Post mastership by virtue of his commission, were suddenly cooled bv tbo arrival of an official notification from Washington to turn over the office to Postmaster Gilleland at midnight last night. Quite a crowd of politicians and curious sight-seers gathered around tho City Hall last evening, with the intention of taking ln tbe promised disturbance. When apprised of tbe facts tho crowd scattered. Postmaster Swan yielded gracefully to the inevitable, which same arrived at i o'clock yes terday afternoon, and surrenderor! Ma nmnt tn Mr. Gilleland at midnight. The process of turning over tbe office and accounts was not very complicated, and was concluded uitliina very low minutes, a gold-beaded cane and a rocking chair wero givan to the retiring post master. Assistant Postmaster Myler making the speech. The gifts were from tbo office force. Mr. Myler was also presented with a gold-headed cane. The new assistant postmaster, 'Squire M. J.

Twentieth ward, purchased for a marine hospital, which was never built, was sold by United States Marshal Harrah yesterday after noon Tbe sale was in accordance with an act of Congress authorizing it. The biddin" started at 30,000, the least offtt that would be entertained. There were but two bidders, W. J. Friday and T. M. McDcnougb, the real estate dealer. The bidding was slow, and tho pronerty was finally sold to Mr. J"riilay for $30,525. The terms of the sale are 5 per cent cast, and the balance on tho delivery of tho deed. WHAT TK0PLE ARE DOING.

The Knights of Labor brickmakers will not demand an increase of 25 cents per day in 'all union yards. This wa3 decided upon at the meeting last nigh:. The new scale will be pre sented this morning for signatures and it is not at all likely that there will be any objection. Tho followincis the scale decided upon: Strikcrs-off, S2 50; wheelers, S2 0; molders, $2 50; setters, 52 50: bankmen, S2 00; dumpers, 2 00, and sanders, SI 75 per day. These figures are tbe same as the present scale and will take effect to-day. It was reported at the meeting that 25 yards in both cities are now organized and there would be no trouble over the scale. Tbe reason the 25 cents of an advance was not put in the scale was on acrount ol the condi tion of trade. Last year t.ie men received an advance of 25 cents, and tbey were content to let well enough alone. ANOTHER UNION FACTORY. President Smith Effects n Settlement tn Chlcnco. President W J. Smith, of the American Flint Glassworkers' Union, returned home from Chicago, where he satisfactorily settled the trouble at tbat place. For over a year tho Chicago Glass Company has been tryinp to run its factory on a non-union basis. The experi ment has been given up in disgnst and this week tbe factory will start with all union hands. The inability to get competent workmen is what compelled the company to effect a settle ment and sign the union rules. Not Belter Than the Old, Under the head of "Better Than the Old Scale," an item in the labor colnmn on Sunday stated that tbe roller in the 23-inch mill at Car negie's Homestead works would under the new scale receive S7 75 per day, instead of 6 60. The item erred in this direction, as there is no fixed salary for rollers. The roller is atonnage man. and under tbo new scale receives about 33 cents per ton on a basis of 34 per ton on billets. The old scale called for 42 cents per ton. Three Hnndred I'onniU Per Day. Alfred E. Hunt, President of tho Pittsburg Reduction Company, stated yesterday that the output of the plant would be increased to 300 pounds per day. It was reDorted that the ca pacity of tbe works would be increased to 300 pounds per week, bnt this is incorrect. The Thompson-Houston Getting There. Hnghes & Gawthrop, of this city, have closed a contract with the Pittsburg Plate Glass Com pany, at Tarentum, Pa., for a 900 incandescent electric light plant, of the Thompson-Houston system. This plant will be completed in about 60 days. To England On n Visit.

The Struggles of Life. From the cradle to the grave life Is full of struggles. Some struggle for riches, some for pleasure, some for honor, and others struggle 10 regain that greatest of all blessings health; and in their efforts they often resort to means which place it farther out of their reach. Tbey take drastic compounds, which shock the sys tem, or violent minerals which poison by de grees, thus the vital energies are weakened and the fountains ot lifn polluted. Nature provides remelies..and it is from tbo vegetable kingdom that Dr. Tutt's Liver Pills derive their incredi ents, ana there is tbe happy certainty that if tbey do no good they do no harm.
