Gus L. Otterson's Description
of His Wanderings.
WHILE SICK FBOM DRINK
He Went Alone From Ifew York Clear
Across the Continent,
TUBKIKG UP IN SAN FBANCISCO.
There He Ajrain Became 111 and Tempo
rarily Deranged.
HOW HE WAS 1XDCCED TO BETDRS
Mysterious disappearances of well-known
business men nave been quite frequent
hereabouts of late. In a number of in
stances tbe missing men have turned up
after awhile, with more or less plausible
reasons lor tbeir sudden vanishing from
home and business haunts, but there are
several cases which yet remain mysterious.
One of these, though, The Dispatch is
able to-day to clear up in an authoritative
manner.
Early last fall the residents of Allegheny
were startled by the publication of the fact
that Gus L. Otterson, who had been associ
ated with Harry Swindell in the wall paper
business on Federal street, had disappeared,
aud no one seemed to know what had be
come of him. He left tbe city to go to New
York on business (or the firm. About two
weeks alter his departure he was tele
graphed to that a member of his family had
taken qnite ill, but no answer came, and
soon many storiesjwere in circulation. New
Tork detectives were engaged to look him
up, but no trace of him could be found.
THEORIES ASD RUMORS.
The theory was advanced that he had
been made away with, but his lriends here
did not credit that story and said he would
return. Since that time it has been rumored
frequently that he was coming home, but
those in a position to know denied these
rumors.
On Friday, April 4, Mr. Otterson arrived
at the Union depot and went direct to his
home on Observatory Hill, Allegheny.
That day a call was made at the house by a
reporter of The Dispatcii, who was met
at the door by Mrs. Otterson. On inquiry
being made for Mr. Otterson the lady said
he was at home, but was net prepared just
then to make a statement. By special ap
pointment a Dispatch reporter called
again yesterday, -when Mr. Otterson was
pleased to make the following statement:
"I left Allegheny City on the morning of
August 13, going to New York on business.
It was about 9 o'clock when I left the Union
depot, taking an Allegheny Valley train to
Buffalo. I arrived at Buffalo that evening,
and stopped there for the night. Early the
next morning I started for New York, and
on my arrival there I went to the Earle
Hotel, registering in my own name. I went
to that hotel because I was acquainted there,
having stopped there before. That evening
I went to the depot and met Miss Lizzie
Ininier, our bookkecpr, and Miss Ida Buff,
having told them before I left the city that
if they reached there on that day I would
show them around the city. They went to
the hotel with me.
TAKEN ILL IX KEW YORK.
"I had been drinking quite hard from the
time I left home. That night I took sick,
and about midnight the manager of the
hotel sent for a physician; on his arrival he
gave me a prescription, which I had filled,
and he also gave me four injections of
morphine. The doctor said my sickness
was the result of heavy drinking. Hohn
was the name of the physician who attended
me. Miss lmmer and Miss Buff left New
York on Thursday evening.
"I was ill at the hotel Wednesday night,
Thursday and Thursday night. Friday
morning I felt some better, and took to
drinking again, and that morning bought a
ticket and left for Chicago On my arriving
in Chicago I purchased a ticket for Sau
Francisco. I remember crossing from one
side of Chicago to the other in a 'bus, and
thins: I laid over there about five hours.
I then went direct to San Francisco, arriv
ing there on je night of August 21; that
night I ran around some with a couule of
gentlemen I had met on the train, one of
whom was a dentist. He took me to the
Hammond baths, as he said that would do
me good and sober me up, for I had been
drinking ccitinually. I did not know I
crossed on a ferry before going into San
Francisco that shows the condition in
which I was.
"After taking the bath I went to the
Palace Hotel, registering in my own name,
where I remained two days, then left
for Monterey, putting up at the Ho
tel del Monte, where mv name ap
pears on the register. I remained there
two days and a night, and then went
to Sandecoo, stopping there one day and
one night, and on leaving there I went to
Sacramento. There was an excursion around
that way, and I was one of the party. I
remained in Sacramento one day, and then
returned to San Francisco.
SICK IN THE FAR VEST.
"On arriving at San Francisco I again
went to the 1'alace Hotel, and was then
taken down sick. I was quite ill for six
days, under the doctor's care, Dr. Dennis
being the name of the physician who at
tended me. "While recovering Irom my sick
ness and, in fact, during all the time I lay
atthe hotel I suffered terribly in both
mind and body. For davs at a time
everything would seem a blank to me,
and when I was finally able to get
up, and my mind cleared to some extent, I
began to wonder where I was aud what had
transpired. I had frequently heard of per
sons becoming temporarily deranged, and
terrible things they would do while in that
condition, but never had the thought en
tered my head of how terrible their suffer
ings must have been. Surely nobody is
able to understand how one in that condi
tion suffers. From the time I left New
York I must have been in this condition,
and evidently knew nothing of where I was
going or what would finally become of me.
"When I lelt Pittsburg 1 had with me
about 400, and after recovering from my
sickness I found myself in debt about $150.
This was for hotel 'bills, the physician, and
my nurse. If I bad had the money I would
have returned immediately to this city. As
soon as I was able I started out, very much
discouraged and down hearted to look lor
work. 1 secured a situation and went to
work on a Wednesday morning, for G. W.
Clark & Co., at my trade paper hanging
and decorating. I was in their employ un
til about February 25. They had in the
neighborhood of 45 men working for them,
with most of whom I became acquainted,
and all of whom knew me by my own name,
showing you that I did not attempt to con
ceal my identity.
SEEMS SIJIOULAE TO HOI.
"It seems singular to me that if such
strenuous efforts were made to find me they
were without success. During my stay in
California the Journal, our trade paper, had
an account of my being there, and, beside, I
met quite a number of persons whom I
knew, from tbe East
"About this time, one morning while at
breakfast, and feeling exceedingly down
hearted, I noticed among the hotelarrivals
tbe names of George Price and wife, of Alle
gheny City. I went to the office and asked
leave of absence that day, and about 9
o'clock called at theTiotel. as I had known
Mr. Price for years. To be sure, they were
exceedingly surprised to see me, and about
the first thing they said was: 'Why, Gus,
you must go home, and immediately, too;
for you have no reason for remaining away.'
My answer was; 'Oh, they don't want to see
me back, or they would have made an
effort to find me before this.' Mrs. Price re
plied: 'But, Gus, you must go home on your
wife's account, if for no other reason.' Ac
cordingly I arranged matters and left San
Francisco with them March 3.
"We went by water dawn to Mexico
through Central America to Panama. Mrs.
Price had written to my wife on the first
day I called at the hotel, and on arriving at
Panama a letter from Mrs. Otterson was in
waiting. We crossed the isthmus and came
on by water to New York, arriving there
April 1. I was in New York one day and
then came home, arriving here on Thursday
nignt.
"The day before I left I drew J125 at the
stare, and the balance to make the $400 we
had at home. The position I had in San
Francisco was a very nice one, and at good
wages, and I must say I saw some of the
finest work in our line that was ever done.
Daring my stay there I earned enough to
pay off the greater portion of my debts and
my fare back here. The small balance I
owe there I have now made arrangements to
settle.
REASONS FOE HIS LETTERS.
"While I was in that terrible deranged
condition I wrote two letters, one to Mr.
Swindell and one to my wife..portions of
which have been published. I have made
an explanation to Mrs. Otterson about them,
and the state of my mind at that time is
alone accountable for my writing them.
"I am exceedingly sorry that I ever met
with this misfortune, both on my wife's ac
count and on Mr. Swindell's. To be sure, I
owe Mr. Henry Swindell a statement, which,
of course, I will make to him on his arrival
in this city; he is now absent on business. I
learn that certain parties said they knew
I was going away, and where I was goiug.
I wish to state positively that nobody
knew anything of the sort, for I
did not even know myself. As to
my future intentions, I cannot, as yet, say
anything. I am back home and glad to
get here, by the way, for my sufferings and
tnoughts o? home during my absence were
almost too much for me to bear. I am now
enjoying good health, and mean to perma
nently remain here, so far as I know at
present"
Sir. Otterson's manner while ponversing
with the reporter was sufficient to convince
any one that the entire storv ot bis wander
ings since last fall was being told, without
reservation, and when the interview was
over the sigh of relief he gave was evi
dently from his heart.
A WALKING SPEAK-EAST.
An Ex-Saloon Keeper's Manner of Dispos
ing of Ills Left-Orer Stock His Bnr
Cnrrled Aboct ibe Streets la tbe Inside
Puckrts or His Ulster.
A perambulating speak-easy in tbe person
of Jack Darrah, an ex-saloon keeper of
Fast Diamond, Allegheny, languished last
night in the Allegheny locKup. Like
Othello, his occupation is gone. Chief
Murphy was told early in the evening that
Darrah was snooping around the First and
Third wards in a very suspicious manner.
A little stroll located the object of suspicion
at the corner of Anderson avenue and
Lacock street. Darrah was muffled up in a
huge ulster, in itself a queer garment for a
warm night He was closed in upon quietly,
just as he passed a pint bottle to a rough
looking customer and received some silver
in exchange. Darrah offered no resistance,
and accompanied the officers to the lockup.
His coat, upon examination, was found to
contain 15 inside pockets. In three of the
pockets were found half-pint bottles of
whisky; $9 40 in silver accounted for the
empty pockets. A dirk-knife and a six
shooter, with four barrels loaded, were found
upon his person also. The corks in the
three bottles were all new and had evidently
been bought for the speak-easy. One of the
bottles was uncorked, and everybody took
a smell. It was universally agreed that the
vending of such liquor was a crime which
deserved rigorous punishmeut Darrah
took his arrest philosophically and sent for
several friends, all of whom were too impe
cunious to do business on the bail basis with
Captain Wilson.
Chief Murphy will make information
against Darrah this morning for selling
liquor without license and selling on Sunday.
LIQU0II LOCKED DP IN A CELL.
Fifteen Cases ol Beer and Several Quarts
of VYhWkr Held ns Evidence.
Chief of Police Murphy, of Allegheny,
with the detectives of the front office, yester
day morning raided a speak-easy operated
by Jacob Hasley, on Eiver "avenue. Mr.
and Mrs. Hasley were caught, with Clara
O'Neil, Frank Smith, Charles Miller, John
Brown, John Smith, James Smith, James
McCall and William McDonald, and all
were locked up in the station for a hearing
this morning. The raid was made shortly
after 9 o'clock, or, it is said, there would
have been more arrests, as the patrons of the
place had not had time to come around.
The same house was pulled abont a month
ago, when 16 people were caught. Chief
Murphy made the raid on an information
charging Hasley with selling without a
license, and says that he will make another
charge against him to-day, of selling on
Sunday.
Durind the raid a man named Andy
Swords interfered with the officers and was
placed in arrest and locked up with the
others, though not before making a strong
resistance. There were 15 cases of beer and
several quarts of whisky found in flasley's
house; all of which was taken to the Mayor's
office and locked up in a cell, as evidence.
EEDDCED TO WANT.
An Accomplished Lndr in a Most Deplorable
Condition.
Mrs. Sarah Gildersleeve, aged about 40
years and a widow, arrived in the city yes
terday morning from Washington, D. C,
from which place she had been sent by the
police authorities on her way to Chicago.
Mrs. Gildersleeve is a lady of refinement
and great musical ability. She went to
Washington a few weeks ago with the in
tention of earning her living by teaching
music She was unsnecessful, however, and
after spending all her money was reduced to
pawnine her jewelry and part of her cloth
ing to keep soul ana body together while
endeavoring to secure some kind of a situa
tion. She was reduced to such an extremity
last week that she had to apply to the police
for transportation back to Chicago, where
she has friends.
The Washington officials gave her a ticket
to Pittsburg, and she will probably be
ticketed the balance of the trip by Chief
Elliot, to whom the case has been reported.
AT IT, HAMMER AND TONGS.
A Couple of Kortbaide Special Elections
Being- Contested Willi Vigor.
Mayor Wyman will probably issue proc
lamations to-jnorrow for special elections for
Councils in the First and Second wards.
Five days subsequent to the issuance ot the
proclamation the elections will take place.
The First ward tight between S. D. Hubley
and Bobert Knox, both Americus Club men,
is getting very murky. It seems that Mr.
Hubley knew of Mr. C. H. Hartman's in
tention to resign ten days before the event
took place. This enabled him to lay pipe
all over the ward belore his opponent hung
his banner on the outer walls.
In tbe Second ward fight James M. Gregg
and John G. Lehman are at it hammer and
tongs, and no one knows how the contest
will result.
Death of Btrs. Snrnli Weltr.
Mrs. Sarah Welty, widow of the late
Daniel Welty, Sr., of Greensburg, died at
her home in thai place on Saturday. The
funeral will take place to-day. ,.
Congressman Hatch, of Missonri, Pre
dicts a Democratic House. -
HE SATS HARRISON IS A FAILURE.
Jerseymen Inspecting the llerz System or
Burning Garbage.
A WESTERN KAILK0AD COMBINATION
Congressman Hatch, of Missouri, bobbed
up at the Union depot last evening fresh
from the Southwest wearing a new white
derby hat. "Oh, I have no intention to
force the season," he said, "but it is warmer
down my way than in Pittsburg, and we will
make it redhot for the Republicans next
fall."
The doughty Congressman was in .an ele
gant humor before he went to supper, but
when he came from the station restaurant,
he was as red as a ceiled lobster, and he
raved at the food, the waiters and the service.
The air was blue for a few moments, and
then he declared he always got the poorest
meal at the depot to be had anywhere along
the railroads between the two oceans. He
thought it was a reflection on a city famous
for first-class hotels.
MADE NO ALLOWANCES.
The reporter apologized for the supper
and explained that the' Congressman should
make some allowance on Sunday evening,
but the great Democrat was in a bad humor
and no apologies would appease him.
"I am in a fine mood, you see," he began,
"to talk on politics. I hate to get into a
tantrum, but I conldn't help it. I left
Washington last Sunday and have been
spending a week at home. Going out I
talked with a number of prominent men I
met on tbe trains and they all assured me
that there was a strong revulsion in the po
litical feeling. At the end of 12 months
the Republicans are more disgusted
with their President than the
Democrats were teu days after
Cleveland's defeat. We felt terribly cut
up about it, but it is our turn to dance now.
Ben Harrison was foreordained and predes
tinated to be a failure as an executive offer.
I am told he believes in foreordination and
predestination, and both doctrines will ap
ply to his case. I feel sure that the next
Congress will be Democratic with a good
working majority.
WHEAT IN THE WEST.
"In the West the wheat crop on the high
lands is spotted, but it looks fair enough in
the more favored places. The out
look for prices is rather blue, and
they can't see any hope for the immediate
future. A high tariff is an unjust imposi
tion on the honest granger, and they are
beginning to feel the weight of the burden.
They can't stand it much longer, before
they will unload."
"Is Cleveland still the Democracy's
hope?" ventured the reporter.
"Is he our hope?" replied Mr. Hatch.
"Will he be a candidate? No, he won't be
a candidate lor the nomination, but he will
be nominated, whether he wants it or not.
If a convention and election were held
within the next SO days, Cleveland would
be named and elected without any trouble.
An abler and mnre satisfactory President
never sat in the chair."
WEATHER PROGNOSTICATIONS.
Whnt General Passenger Agent Clark
Thinks of tho Summer.
General Passenger Agent A. E. Clark, of
the Lake Erie roaii, is nothing if not acute in
his observations. He is an old man and has
been a close observer all his life. Mr.
Clark makes a close study of the weather,
he does it from a business standpoint, ns a
gauge of the summer excursion 'trade. He
still insists that the coming summer will
not be warm.
In giving the reasons on which he based
his opinion, he said: "It is warm to-day,
will be warmer to-morrow, and on Monday
it will be cold again. This heat is only the
precursor ol a storm. I have always noticed
that from the 5th to the 15th of May in
every year it is always cold. It is usually
very warm during the latter part of April,
and this melts the ice rapidly within the
Arctic circle. So much heat is consumed
in the melting operation that a reaction
comes, and the first two weeks in May are
cold, before the equilibrium is restored.
This theory will account for the onion
snows, as the farmers call them.
"I notice that the ice is breaking up in
the Arctic regions earlier than usual this
vear. A vessel reported having seen 22 ice
bergs offNewfoundland a fewdays ago. The
icebergs affect the weather in the St. Law
rence valley, and along the New England
States, but the interior is not disturbed un
less there are northeastern winds. My
opinion is that a better season for Arctic ex
plorations could not be chosen.
"But as to just what bearing the weather
will have on the excursion business, it is
difficult' to say. It has come to this that
people will travel anyhow."
LEASED FOR 99 IEARS.
The Wisconsin Central and Northern Pacific
Make n Long Llnr.
President Abbott, ot the Wisconsin Cen
tral road, passed through the city last even
ing en route to New York. Within the last
few days he signed the lease of the road for
99 years to the Northern Pacific Mr. Ab
bott says the combination of the two lines
makes the finest and longest stretch of
track in the United States. The roads ex
tend from Chicago to the Pacific Ocean. Mr.
Abbott claims that tbe Wisconsin Central
has better terminal facilities in the Windy
City than any other road, which is not say
ing a great deal. The organization ot the
Wisconsin Central will foe nominally main
tained, but the Northern Pacific will be in
complete control.
Speaking of railroad prospects, Mr. Ab
bott said: "All the roads have been doing
a good business so Isr this year. The vol
ume of traffic continues to be large. There
are no new lines in the West on the carpet,
and I don't think many miles of new track
will be built this summer. Some short
branches may be built, but nothing very ex
tensive. If the World's Fair will be held
iu Chicago it will boom the freight and
passenger trade of the Western lines. The
roads will have to do something to increase
their terminal facilities. I think reasona
ble carrying rates will be established gener
ally by all the railroads."'
THE GARBAGE PROBLEM.
A Delegation of Jersejinen on a Tonr o
Investigation.
Last evening a delegation of citizens from
Newark and Paterson, N. J., were on the
limited going west to inspect the workings
of the Merz system for ridding cities of
garbage. They expected to visit Chicago,
New York, Detroit, Milwaukee, St Paul
and other places. In the party were Dr. C.
S. Van Biper, Dr. Frank Agnew, Alder
man Biley and J. L. Leal, the health
officer of Paterson, and Mayor J. E. Haynes
and his secretary, George D. Haynes.
Dr. Van Biper said that the garbage ques
tion was a problem for all the large cities to
solve. Good health depends on pure air and
water to a large extent, and the noxious
vapors arising from decaying vegetable mat
ter and other refuse do much to contaminate
the atmosphere. The Merz or Vilund system
of incinerating the garbage hasbeen adopted
in a number of Western cities, and recently
in New York. Even the gases that arise
from the burning are consumed, and the
fnrnaces are so constructed that the ashes
can he sifted and all money and valuable
articles of gold and silver that are fre
quently lost can be recovered.
Mayor Havney, of Newark, said politics
EYILS OP RATE WARS.
Captain McCormlck Says They Benefit
Neither Roads Nor People.
Captain J. J. McCormick was musing on
a street corner yesterday. Tbe old ticket
man at all times is an interesting figure, and
his long white goatee and smile were as
pleasant as ever.
"I was just thinking," he said, "how fool
ish railroads are to cut rates. The Western
rate war in progress now is a great boon and
people are not taking advantage of tbe re
ductions. Why? Because they think
prices will go lower. It is that element of
uncertainty that spoils business, and this is
why rate wars never help the railroads or
the people.
"I find that foreign immigration of the
better classes is not on the increase. The
number of Italians, Hungarians and Slavish
people coming'into the country keeps up,
but tbe English. Scotch or Irish workman
is staying at home. Tbe prospects for ocean
travel this summer, however, are good, and
tne tourist business promises wen.

Ex-President Hayes, who succeeded General
Sheridan as the head of the organization,

UPSET THE CHILDREN.
Fonr I.illle Ones Badly Hurt Through Reck
less Driving Frank Hopkins Killed on
the U. &0. Road Two Bnggies Collide
on Penn Avenue.
Yesterday afternoon Daniel Brady, pro
prietorof a saloon at the corner of Second ave
nue and Boss street, hired a covered Jersey
wagon to attend a luueral and the vehicle
was sent to his place about 1 o'clock. Brady
was not quite ready to go, and while tbe
vehicle was standing hitched in front of the
house, William Wells, a boarder in the
house, conceived the idea of taking four
little daughters of Brady's, ranging from 2
to 11 years, for a ride. The children were
put into the carriage, and Wells, who was
under the influence of liquor, started the
horse up Boss street at great speed. The
corners at Fourth avenue to Grant street
were turned on two wheels, and at Second
avenue the performance was repeated, but
as the team was turned off Second avenue on
to Boss street again, the turn was too short,
and a wheel broke, turning the carriage
over on its side and spilling Wills and the
four little girls out on the cobble stones.
Wells was not hurt, but each of the chil
dren sustained painlul injuries, the two
younger ones, aged 2 and 4 years, respect
ively, being badly cut about the head. The
children were carried to their homes and
given medical attention. The team attached
to the vehicle was caught before it had gone
far, bnt the carriage was badly wrecked.
Frank Hopkins, a Soho puddltr, was
struck by the Washington express on the
Baltimore and Ohio, near Copper Works
station, shortly before 9 o'clock last night,
and instantly killed. The remains were
gathered up and brought to the city, and
are now at the morgue. The deceased was
38 years of age, and leaves a wife and one
child. He was walking along the track
when the accident occurred.

NOTHING BUT A FIGHT,
Bat One of the Pnrticipnnts Screamed a
If
ItiWns ninrder.
The house of Mary Long, in Enon alley,
Southside, has been a source of considerable
oomplaiut from her neighbors, who wanted
the police to look after the place. About 1
o'clock yesterday morning was thought to
be a good time, as more complaints were
sent in, on account of what was thought to
be a serious disturbance, and Lieutenant
Johnston with a squad ot men, took charge
of the house.
Nothing more serious than a fight of the
ordinary variety was in progress, though
Mary's screams were loud enough to be
heard two blocks away. At the hearing
yesterday mnruiug she was sent to the work
house for 30 days. William Boomer and
Joseph Bingley, her companions, were
given ten days to jail.

in the country, and occupied yesterday
afternoon in arranging them in the cabinet
or "rogues' gallery" in his private office.

and Enthusiastic Meeting.
THE PfilHTERS' SCALE NOW KEADY
lea DriTers Want a Share of the Advance
in Prices This Year.
GDST EBEIIi EEPLIES TO I. N. E0SS
A special meeting of the Federation of
Bailway Employes was held last night in
Labor Hall. The meeting was in session
from 7:30 until 11:30 o'clock. When it ad
journed the men refused to give any news
whatever for publication. They also re
fused to furnish the names of the President
or Secretary or anyone in authority to speak
for the organization.
It was learned, however, that one J. H.
Jantzen was the secretarv. When he was
approached he was evidently afraid of his
position being known, aud denied that he
occupied any official position. There were
present altogether about 125 men, and from
the shouts that reached the ears of the
church-goers on Fifth avenue it must have
been a very enthusiastic gathering. A
number of the men had their coats off, and
at the conclusion of each speech they set up
a lusty howl. People passing along the
avenue stopped and looked up at tbe. fourth
story of the building where the meeting was
held, and wondered what the boisterous
cheering was about on Sunday evening.
THE MATTER SETTLED.
The only thing that could be gleaned
from the men was a remark that one of them
dropped. He said: "The matter is settled,"
but would not say what "the matter" was.
From another it was learned that several
switchmen had a grievance against "the
company," but it was worse than pulling
spikes out of a green railroad tie to get him
to say what the grievance was. It was un
derstood, however, that the trouble was on
the Pennsylvania lines. One individual,
whose breath was his strongest point, when
asked iC there was any trouble with the
Pennsylvania officials, s?id he "didn't know
of no trouble." This is the second meeting
the men have had about the grievance.
It was supposed that the men met to dis
cuss the recent discharge of the conductors
on the Fort Wayne and Erie and Pittsburg
roads. This was denied by a well-known
Fort Wayne employe, who said they would
not discuss the passenger trouble.
WHAT TnEY REALLY ABE.
He said tbe passenger conductors were
members of the Order of Bailway Con
ductors, and were not affiliated with the
Federatiou. The Passenger Conductors'
Association, he stated, is a beneficial organ
ization and not a' labor union, and conse
quently the Federation, which is composed
of freight trainmen, switchmen and fire
men exclusively, would not be allowed to
meddle with the affairs of the passenger
men.
The Federation has not yet enrolled the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. A
special effort has been made to get the en
gineers in the general organization, bnt the
men have fought shy of it for reasons known
to the better class of railroad employes.
There was no change in the situation re
garding the discharged conductors yester
day. One of the officials of the Pennsyl
vania company said the company had dis
charged only lour men, and he did not ex
pect any more changes. Like other officials,
he refused to say why the men were "let
go," but said there were sufficient grounds
tor their discharge.
DRIVERS WANT A SHARE.
Ico Compnnr Employes Will Ask for an la
crease In Wages.
According to the statements of employes
engaged in the business, the ice crop will
not be nearly as short as the different com
panies are trying to make people believe.
A meeting of L. A. 7482 K. of L., composed
of ice drivers and helpers, was held yester
day. It was stated that there was suf
ficient ice on hand now to run through the
summer and the supply will last until next
winter's crop is harvested.
The new scale was discussed and at a
special meeting next Sunday it will be
adopte'd. At the meeting it was stated that
in view of the fact that the companies would
advance prices, it was but just that wages
should be advanced in the same proportion.
It was said by some of the drivers that the
companies would advance rates to $30 per
ton on quantities from 10 to 50 pounds daily.
This would make the price one and one-half
cents per pound, which, it is said, is a pretty
steep price for ice. The advance in wages
to be asked for will be about 10 per cent.
It was also stated that a well-known Alle
gheny dealer was selling ice on Saturday
last by the bushel. The stuff was slush
from the cars and was good for cooling pur
poses. It sold at the rate of 60 cents per
bushel. The members of L. A. No. 7482
do not take any stock in machine made ice.
They say it cannot be packed and will melt
too rapidly.
HEW B0IC0TT MEASURES.
The Knlgbts of Labor to Continno to Fight
tbe Pittsburg Traction Company.
The quarterly convention of D. A. No. 3,
Knights of Labor, will be held, beginning
Wednesday. Very little outside of routine
business will be transacted. The boycott
against the Pittsburg Traction Company
will be one of the most important matters to
come before the meeting. New measures
will be adopted to carry on the boycott.
The secret work is being pushed among the
different local assemblies and unions, and
the company is said to be losing money in
consequence. Every labor man living along
the line of the road now walks to and from
his residence rather than patronize the cars.
The Knights of Labor officials say they will
cot begin to boycott the road in earnest
until the Duquesne line begins operations.
Since the last quarterly meeting three
new local assemblies have been organized,
one in this city, one in Jeannette aud the
other in Bellevernon.
WAKTS TO GET EVEN.
A Discharged Glnssvrorkcr Tries to EnUe a
Big sensation.
A discharged employe of one of the prin
cipal glass firms on the Southside has
adopted a novel way of getting square with
his former employers. For several days he
has been sending threatening letters to tbe
firm, and yesterday two postal cards were
received at The Dispatch office with the
glass manufacturer's name signed to them,
which read as follows:
Gentlemen I am not going to try to stick
out auy loucjer. 1 have failed with my business
and 1 want you to please and make mention of
it in your valuable paper. 1 am on? to Chicago
on the next train.
Tbe man has been the source of consider
able annoyance to the glass manufacturer,
as the latter has received as many ns a
dozsn threatening postal cards in one day.
THE TK0DBLG SETTLED.
The Enst Liverpool Glass Works Will Re
sume ToDay.
President Smith, of the American Flint
Glass Workers' Association, returned from
East Liverpool last evening. The trouble
with the men at the Specialty Glass Works
was amicably adjusted and work will be re
sumed this morning. Mr. Smith said that
the flint workers had no strikes on hand,
and the outlook for tbe trade is fair.
During the winter, especially in the
Eastern cities, when the market was badly
overstocked, a number of the flint men were
out of employment, and some ot them were
guttering.
nis Story Not flinch Like That of District
IHnsler Workman Ross.
A meeting of the Board of Directors of
the Musical Mutual Protective Union was
held yesterday. There is likely to be a
pretty lively scene when Master Workman
Boss, of D. A. 3, K. of L., meets Gus
Kreil, of the Musical Union, this evening,
to settle the difficulty of the engagement of
the Great Western Band for the opening of
the National League baseball season. Mr.
Kreil said last night that it was untrue that
six members of L. A. 1583 bad asked to be
reinstated in the Musical Union, or even
asked to be allowed to square up, so as to be
able to join L. A. 1583.
"If Mr. Boss can prove his assertion in
this regard to be true." said Mr. Kreil, "I
will withdraw my objections to the Great
Western Band and will even cancel my en
gagement with Manager Hecker for an
other band. Mr. Boss says that if we take
out of the Musical Union all persons who
are expelled members of the Knights ot
Labor he will weed out L. A. 1583. I want
to say emphatically that there is not a mem
ber in the Musical Union who was ever ex
pelled from any Knights of Labor organiza
tion." Mr. Kreil stated that the Secretary of the
Musical Union will gn before a magistrate
to-day and make an affidavit that not only
six dui sixteen members ot j. a. iota are
expelled members of the Musical Union,
and that one of them was expelled twice.
Mr. Boss has admitted that there were six
members of the Great Western Baud ex
pelled from the Musical Union, and there
may be others in L. A. 1583 who are not in
tbe Great Western Band.
Mr. Kreil insists that he is not fighting
the Knights of Labor, but tbe men who
helped to make the rules of the Musical
Union and now persist in bresking them.
He states that Mr. Boss and L. A. 1583 are
directly violating the agreement made be
tween Mr. Powde? ly and "Mr. Gompers, that
none of the organizations should receive ex
pelled members from other organizations.
A meeting has been arranged for this
afternoon at the headquarters of the M. M.
P. U., where an effort will be made to have
a committee of arbitration appointed.
K0 CHANGE IN TDE SCALE.
Printers Will Not Demand an Increase In
Wages This Year.
A special meetingof Typographical Union
No. 7 was held yesterday for the purpose of
adopting the new scale which goes into
effect in June. It was decided to make no
change in the rates for composition. The
new scale will be presented to the proprie
tors and employers next week.
An effort was made yesterday by a num
ber of members of No. 7 to demand an in
crease. Tbe change proposed was to make
the new scale 40 instead of 37 cents per
1,000 on afternoon papers and 45 instead of
i2$ cents on morning papers. It was
deemed inexpedient to make the change at
this time. L. A. 1630, Knights of Labor
printers, will meet next Sunday to ratify
the scale.
THAT BIG FREIGHT CAB.
It Ilold 22.100 Pounds of Glassware, and
the Transportation Cost Over S300.
John Patterson, Treasurer and General
Manager of the Peerless Lead Glass Works,
in speaking of the shipment of glassware
made by the firm in the largest freight car
ever sent out from this city, says:
"It might be of interest to glass people to
Know that in the car we got 322 large boxes
and 4G barrels. The weight of the freight
was 22,100 pounds, being about one-third
more in quantity of packages as well as in
weight, than is 'usually put in a large car,
There was also sent as surplus to it 70 boxes
of lamp chimneys, weighing 4,225 pounds,
making a total shipment of 20,325 pounds.
The freight rate on the shipment to Denver
is $1 42)4 Per 100 pounds, so that the freight
alone wilt amount to S370 13."
Complllng tho Bottle Blowers' Scale.
A committee from L. A. 6111, green
bottle blowers, met yesterday in Labor
Hall. The object was to compile suggestions
in regard to the new scale to be adopted at
the convention. The eighl-bour law was
also discussed and it will be recommended
to the convention for adoption.
He Got Thirty Days.
Dennis Conners, who was arrested in com

Annual Keport of Inspector McAleese,
of the First District.
0YEE 14,000 AKRESTS LAST YEAR,
Abont Two-Thirds of Which Were in Mr.
McAleese's Bailiwick;.
SOME IKTEBESTIKG POLICE FIG0EES
John McAleese, Police Inspector of the
First district, yesterday submitted his annual
report to J. O. Brown, Chief of the Depart
ment of Public Safety. It is brief, when
the magnitude of the work done is taken
into consideration, and the fact of its being
the last department report to be presented
is accounted forby the fact that the Inspector
of the First district has probably more active
work to perform than any other official in
the city government, and has, therefore, but
little time todevotetoliterary efforts. This is
shown by the statistics already submitted, a3
well as by those furnished by the Inspector.
The number of arrests for last year, in the
whole city, was 14,945, of which 9,541 were
in the First district, numbering among
them the most important arrests of the year,
including murderers and other grave crimi
nals. Some excerpts from the Inspector's
report are given below. He says:
"The statistical statements accompanying tbe
report show tbat the number of arrests made
in this district during tbe past year aggregate
9.541, or more than two-thirds of all tbe arrests
made in tbe entire city, against 6,972 daring tbe
previous year, thus showing an increase of
569. This increase consisted mostly of minor
offenses. I attribute it to the large increase of
onr population, and to tho vigilance and ac
tivity of tbe officers.
OFFICERS IS THE DISTRICT.
Tbe numbe of officers in tbe First police
district is asfolIows: Captains, 2; lieutenants,
4; sergeants, 8; special officers, 11: cornermen,
9; patrol wagon men, 18; patrolmen, 81; turn
keys, 1; janitors, 2; messengers, 1; total. 13S.
Of this number 6 special officers are detailed
for duty in the Signal Service, and 17 ot tha
patrolmen reporting at No. 1 police station are
detailed for duty with traction companies and
other private parties. These officers are all
employed subject to and under the rnlesand
regulations of tbe Bureau of Police, and are
paid for their services by the parties to whom
tbey are assigned.
Under tbe present system the special officers
report at headquarters and make tbeir reports
daily in writing. ' When not at headquarters
tbey report from the different patrol stations
by means of tbe telephone system at all hours
of the day and night, and consequently can all
be called at a moment's notice tn attend to any
business ot the burean reqnlring tbeir atten
tion. During tbe year the number of reports
made over tbe telephone system by tbe officers
in this district was 209.882. The number of tele
phone messages received at headquarters of
tbe First police district was 24,09a
The statement of charges against officers In
the First district and disposition of them by
trial during the year is as follows: Exonerated,
2: discharged, 25; charges withdrawn, 1; charge
not sustained, 1: suspended for 30 days, 6: for 20
days, 14; for 15 days. 8; for 10 days. 12: for 5
days, 21; Indefinitely, 2: rednced to tbe rank?,
5; to the sub-list, 7; reprimanded, 20; permitted
to resign, 2. Total number of cases. 128.
I desire to direetyoor attention to the great
numbnr of doors found open by officers on the
night reliet in this district while patrolling
tbeir beats. From tbe resorts on file in this
office there were found open 470 doors and
windows of dwellings, stores and manufactur
ing establishments during tne past year.
SOME EXHAUSTIVE TABLES.
The Inspector returns thanks to Captain
J. A. A. Brown for services in drilling the
