lETINGJEF WAY,
A Settlement of tho Yard
men's Trouble Expected.
3TECTIYE KOEKIS HERE.
Has Hocking Yallcy Men to Offer
to the Roads.
UJISON YARDMEN ORGANIZED
'The prospects are in favor of a settle
jCDt, low, said Vice Grand blaster Dow
ieyyof the Switchmen's Afiembly, to a
OlsrATCn reporter last night. Everything
Tas remarkably quiet yesterday in the
vards, and the meeting ot railroad men held
at 41 Fifth avenne, in the afternoon, was at
tended by less than 100 men. "While not
stated positively by the committee, it ii
probable that propositions will be made to
the superintendents to-day by the commit
tees of their respective roads. These propo
sitions will contain the yardmen's ulti
matum. There will be some concessions
made. The men regard it their dnty to meet
the companies half way, as the latter have
made concessions.
The important event of yesterday was the
arrival of John T. Norris, the well-known
detective ot Springfield, O. He is here in
connection with the work which Detect
ive Perkins was employed to do. Mr. Per
kins states that he has only been partially
successful in securing men. In many places
non-union men are afraid to come to Pitts
burg in case a strike should occur. How
ever, be has engaged a large number.
his special Busrsrss.
Mr. Norris has just come from a number
of "Western and Xorthwetern cities where
men have been engaged. He said last night:
"I am here on special business. I will
probably have something interesting for you
in a dav or two."
Mr. Korris will meet the superintendents
this morning and inform them that he can
produce every man now idle in the Hocking
Valley for duty here in case of an emer
gency. This will give the companies a con
siderable advantage should a tie-up be or
dered. There is no doubt whatever that the com
panies have made all necessary preparations
for a strike, and in case one is yet ordered
they will be able to fill the men's places in
side of 24 hours, and the cessation in the
freight traffic would be of but small mo
ment. "Do the railroad employes know." asked
Bn ofiicial yesterday, "that the roads of the
country are leagued to fight strikes? If
they do not they should, and the local em
ployes have a big job on their hands. I hope
they won't strike.
THEY HELP THEIK RIVALS.
""When the Beading encineers went ont
about a year ago, ranch as the Pennsylvania
hates its rival, the trunk line turned in
and loaned to the Heading all the spare
men they had. The "Western roads also
helped the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
to down their employes."
The Press Committee absolutely refused
to give out any information yesterday or
last night. They said thre was nothing to
give out. Mr. Downey said he did not
know what the programme for to-day would
be, but he thought the men were not as
anxious for a strike as they were three or
four days ago, and that a compromise will
in all probability be agreed to to-day or to
morrow. The two points upon which the matter
hinges now are the wages and the hours.
There are only about fire or six points ont
of the 10 that the companies have not con
ceded. Hut if the men could get the wages
and the time they demand they would not
insist on the others. Mr. Downey reiterated
his former statement that the men will not
accept the propositions made to them on
Saturday. It was learned that the figures
offered simply give the Panhandle em
ployes the same wages as the Pennsylvania
Railroad men have been rdceivine, and will
not advance the Pennsylvania Railroad to
the amount asked lor. The Panhandle
Company has only paid 2 50 and $2 40 to
conductors, and 51 90 and ?1 80 to brake
men. MUST HE ItECTIFIED.
A grievance on the Valley that the men
say must he rectified is the "docking" of
the men 8 cents for meals. The men are
paid Jl 92, and If they take half an hour for
meal. S rents are deducted from their Mages.
The Ft. Wayne men are paid tbo tame as tbo
Panhandle employe'.
Word was received In the city icstcrdav that
tho non-union men of Dennison had organized.
By this the strength of the Federation is in
creased, as Dcnmson is a big f rcicbt center.
All Chicago and St. Louis freight is teparated
at Denniston. thereby increasing the work. All
freight shipped East or West by the Pennsyl
vania system passos through tne Dennison
yards, and yet the men are paid even less than
the Pittsburg men. Tho switchmen are paid
SI 75 for day ork and Jl 55 nieht.
The men still say the companies will not
have such an easy time as they think running
tho roads after a strike is ordered. Here is the
way one ol the PeunsylraniaRailroad yardmen
put it yesterday: ".Sunnosc," said he, "that a
striken ordered In Pittsburg to-night To
morrow morning Chicago is tied up; in the
afternoon the men go out on a strike in Buf
falo, and at night Se Yore will follow suit.
The foltowinc day the men in Cumberland and
Colnmbns will ho ordered out, and what could
Jougetlnl'lttsbarsT The Federation stands
shoulder to shoulder, all over he country, and
when a strike Is ordered for the benefit "of tho
men of one city, the men in the other cities
support them. The companies mast make no
mistake in sayiue that a strike would only af
fect Pittsburg. Neither must they think they
can get men to fill the place of the employes,
because it could not he done."
JUST HOW IT TVOEKS.
There has been a good deal of talk about the
Impracticability of a ten-hour system being
adopted here. It could not be demonstrated
how a suspension of business in the yards for
four hours each day coold be avoided. Sir.
Downer gave the following explanation of how
it is worked in Chicago: The day men go to
work at 7 o'clock in the morning, and are al
lowed an hour for dinner; but all do not taSo
the same hour. The quit at 6 o'clock, and the
night men begin at 7. The business is only sus
pended for two hours each day, and both hours
rome a a time wben tho yards are not rushed.
The traffic Is not hindered nor are raorp crews
required by reason or the two hours' idleness.
(superintendent JlcCargo, of tho "Valley road,
was seen Ian night, but said there was nothinc
new on tho part of the officials. Chief Clerk
ilcllwainc, of the Baltimore and Ohio, said
everytbinc was onlet in their lards. Himrrm.
tendentHolbrooK, or the Pittsburg and Lako
Erie, is home. Master of Transportation
Yohe, of the Lake Eric, said they are getting
all their freight out en time. Tho various
yards were in a little better condition last even
ing. The men had worked all day. clearing
them up. and many switches were emptied.
Sow that both sides have agreed to attempt
a compromise, the shippers may rest easy, with
tbe expectation of seeing the difficulty ar
ranged amicably, although tbe men intimate
that if the propositions tbey submit t onlay are
lint accepted, there will be interesting develop
ments within the next two days.
A CADETS' DEMONSTRATION.
Tosdb Temperance Apostles Will Do Ilonor
to Fntbrr Mntlieir's Centennial.
Rev. Fathers Canevin andbheedy are making
arrangements for a monster demonstration of
temperance cadets in this city on October 10.
It is expected that 2.000 boys mil bo in the
parade in the evening.
The event will be in honor of tho 100th anni
versary of the birth of Father Mathew, after
whom the largo total abstinence organization
Is named. The celebration will have no con
nection with the annual convention of temper
ance societies in Aueust. During tbe past
week Father Canevin sent out thousands of
pledge cards to parties throughout tbe diocese
and requested the latter to organize a cadets'
society. Father Sheedy will go toLatrobe on
Wednesday and organize a branch in that
town. A society will be started at St. Paul's
Cathedral soon, and it is expected to enroll C00
or 700 boys in that parish. The demonstration
on October 10 will be a festival of song and
entertainment In some large hall in the city.
LOOKS L1KK A 1IDRDEL'.
A IG-Tcnr-OId McKeesport Girl Accused
of Poisoning Her I.llllo Brother A
Chnrao of Attempted Wbolrsnle Murder
Brought Acalnit Blngcle Stewart.
A case that looks like murder was devel
oped yesterday in McKeesport, and as a re
sult, Maggie Stewart, a girl of 16 year?, was
arrested on a charge of having administered
poison to her brother James, a little fellow
of 4 years and 9 months.
On Friday a Mr. Hopkins, who keeps a
drygoods store in McKeesport, swore out a
search warrant against Mrs. William Stew
art and her daughter Maggie. The women
had been engaged in cleaning his store, snmo
goods were missinc and they wero suspected of
having stolen them. The search warrant was
placed in the hands of Constable Dart, who
found tbe women living on Jenny Lind street,
Tbe father of the girl is in the worxhonse,
servinca term for illegal liquor selling, and
the mother,wlth four cbildren,Mazgie being the
eldest, was living in one miserable room, which
was almost bare.
When Constable Dart began his search, the
first thing he came In contact with was a very
sick boy, and on inquiry he found that Mrs.
Stewart and the three youngest children bad
become ill just artercatinc dinner. With tbe
exception of the boy James, they bad re
covered, to a great extent, but his case seemed
critical. The constable thought the situation
grave enough to warrant investigation, and
went atter Dr. A- V. Taylor. The doctor round
symptoms of arsenical poisoning, and on ques
tioning Mrs. Stewart, learned that 111 family
had had soup for dinner on Friday, the
daugbter.Maggie.cookinglt. All except Maggie
had eaten of this soup, and after dinner be
came sick, vomiting freely. Dr. Taylor did
what he could for the boy and then left, taking
with him a quantity of the soup for analysis.
Tjyces of arsenic were found in tbe soup and
vomit.
All day Saturday Dr. Taylor watched over
the sick lad, but the poison had gotten into bis
system and could not be reached. That night
at 8 o'clock he died, and yesterday morning
Coroner McDowell was notified. Coroner's
Clerk Grant Miller went up to McKeesport
and investigated the case. On tbo strength of
what be learned, he ordered the girl's arrest,
and had ber placd in tbe McKeesport lockup.
She absolutely refused to talk about the case,
denying that she knew anything about any
poison. Mrs. Stewart also pleaded innocence,
and said she could not think of any reason for
her daughter at templing a wholesale poisoning.
The inquest will bo held this afternoon at 2
o'clock in McKeesport.
C0UNTJ2EFEITEUS IN JAIIj.
Dnn McSwerney Says the Supply of purl
oas Money Is Maintained.
Dan McSweeney. the United States detectivo
and deadly f oo to counterfeiters, was leaning
against tho postofflce yesterday, in a pensive
mood, when a reporter braced him for an item.
"Is much bad money being made now?" was
asked.
"Oh, yes," said Dan, "as much as ever, but
we have them pretty well cleaned out of Penn
sylvania. There are not less than 60 counter
feiters serving terms in the penitentiary, and
just as soon as they get out they will be at it
again. So fir as I know there are no organized
gangs at work in Pennsylvania now, and
I haven't heard of any enjnterfcit money be
ing circulated lately. Coin is principally imi
tated, though there is a 210 note on tbe Ger
lnania Bauk of New Orleans that is spurious.
I saw one the other day. I think under the
circumstances it is best to notify the public
through the press. Some detectives think this
is a mistake, but an ciunco of prevention is
worth a pound of cure. It puts the people on
ineir guara, ana manes tne -pusner" airaia to
pass it.
"Noted crooks have some characteristics
that have not been noted to any great
extent by the courts. I refer to tho
easy matter it is to often prove an
alibi, and especially by a hotel register.
I have known old criminals to stand in with
clerks in out-of-the-way hotels, and when they
are about to do an Important job they aro
registered at the time In some houso miles
away. Tbls was a great scheme of Billv
Allen's, and once when he did a man ud in Port
Jervis, a hotel register at Elmira showed that
ho was in the latter town when the act was
committed. This is only one of the tricks of
notorious thieves, and they have to be watched
carefully."
HE FAT0US A COMMISSION.
Mr. Wltberow Thinks Jrnlnes Should bo
Relieved From Granting Licenses.
It is beginning to dawn on jurists as well as
civilians that it is more desirable to have a
commission appointed to graut licenses than to
have It done by the judges of the county courts,
Not that the judges can't do it, or that they are
not honest men, but tbe courts sbould b'e abov
it This seems to be tbe consensus of opinion
on the subject.
Said William WItberow, of tho Duquesne,
yesterday: "Certainly I favor the appointment
of a commission to run the license business.
The judges of the courts haven't time to at
tend to It, and their vocations are such that
they haven'' the opportunities to post them
selves Besides, granting licenses is distinct
from their line of work, and it seriously inter
feres with the business of the court. Ou look
ing over the list of licenses granted in years
past I alwajs found a number who were nut de
serving bad been successful, and some of the
roost decent men had been knocked out. In
such cases the Judges did not understand all
the facts, or rather tho truth was concealed
from them. Now. a board of men appointed to
look arter the liquor trade w ould know better,
and there would be less dissatisfaction.
"Judges aro expected to keep aloof from peo
ple. The bench demands a certain amount of
dignity and respect that must be maintained.
It is not the juuges' fault, but the sj stem is
wrong, and I leel sure that the courts of the
State would be glad to bo relieved of the re
sponsibility. I was talking with ex-District At
torney Porter yesterdiy on this subject, and he
holds tho same views."
ANOTflEU BEAUTIFUL SABBATH
Fills the Parks With Pleasure Seekers, the
Crmeterles With Blonrners.
Schenley Park was filled with pleasure seek
ors yesterday afternoon. Soulful Individuals
sat perched upon the quarry bluff "Bigelow's
Bluff," as it is now called throughout the neigh
borhood and rapturously poetized over the ro
mantic ravines below. Others wandered by
dale and down, returning at eventide "with a.
glow at their hearts and a cold in their head,"
for the mud Jn Schenley Park ravines is as
treacherous as it is sticky; and there are occa
sional sloughs and marshes. A good many,
however, were satisfied to sit at the foot of
"Uigelow's Bluff' ana admire the awful warn
ing to poachers and lumber men, which lronn
upon them from its gloomy placard.
Allegheny Cemetery was also filled with
visitors; but these were not merry-makers liice
those of Sbchcnley Park. Many wreaths of
early spring flowers and evergreens were laid
upon the graves that are waxing greener every
day, now that spring winds have blown the
carpet of fronds and withered leaves away.
The gatekeeper said that there was an increase
or 1,200 in the number of visitors yesterday over
that of tbe previous Sunday.
E0CKED TUB CHINAMAN.
Another Disturbance Near tho Sceno of tbe
O'Hnra Alnrder.
As the parade of tbe Junior Order of United
American Mechanics was yesterday afternoon
passing tho corner of Fifth avenue and High
street, near where young O'Hara was shot and
killed two weeks ago, a yonng tough from the
hill sbicd a rock at a Chinaman who was
taking in the parade. The son of Confucius
dropped like a log, and blood began to pour
from tho Mouud. lie put his hand to his hip
pocket, as if to draw a revolrer.
The crowd disanpeared lino the smoke from
a bad cigar, and nobodv knew wbo tried to
rock tbe laundryman. Tbe latter was taken in
charge by another Chinaman, and both or them
disappeared through tho portals of Foo Foy's
shop.
A Plochy Girl Defends Herself.
Miss Annie Schafer, of South Tenth street,
was attacked by a man while returning home
on Saturday evening. He attempted to garote
her and take her pocketbook and rings, but
through an energetic resistance, coupled with
the assistance ot a very good pair of lungs, sho
made hlin run away. Tho Southside police
have a description of the man, and Miss
Schafer thinks she can Identify him.

TO H0MEW00D PAEK.
Plans for Rapid Transit Very Soon
to the fievived Eace Track;
THE CITIZENS' COMPACT IN LINE.
How it Can Easily Beat all of its Eivals
Into Wilkinsburg-.
HORSEMEN DELIGHTED BI THE NEWS
Superintendent J. E. Rucg, of the Citi
zens' Traction line, returned from Boston
yesterday, and it is stated that the business
which demands his attention is very inti
mately connected with the Homewood
Driving Park Association's new lease of
life. The Citizens' Traction line will build
an electric road to Wilkinsburg, passing
by the park and traversing a section pro
ductive of lots of passenger business.
Early in the successful start of tbe Citi
zens' cable line it was proposed by the com
pany to add a cable loop of some magnitude
as a feeder to the main line. The proposed
route, was along Pcnn avenue, from the
East Liberty power house to tbe Fifth ave
nue extension, (hence to tbe main street of
Brushton, thence across the Pennsylvania
Railroad tracks to Frankstown avenue ex
tension, and by means of that thoroughfare
back to tbe East Liberty traction station.
The cost of the line and some of the engi
neering difficulties deterred the company
from constructing tbe loop, and the recent
pre-emption of the best part of the route by
the Duquesne Transit Company turned the
attention of the company to another and
better route to Wilkinsburg.
iv&r a mile uoyta.
The distance from the East Liberty sta
tion to Homewood Park is just a mile. The
Frankstown avenue car line, operated and
owned by the Citizens' Company, now rnus
half wav to the park, or as far as the paving ex
tends. It is promised by tho Department of
Public Works that Frankstown avenue will bo
paved tn the city limits this summer. Tbe in
tention is to run a lino to Wilkinsburg entirely
on the northern side of the Pennsylvania Rail
road, as distinct from the Duquesne Transit
Company's plans for covering the south side of
tbe railroad.
A large aecession of business to the Citltens'
cable line Is confidently cxnected. Tbo sum
mer travel to Silver "Lake Grove and Homo
wood Park will bo very large, and there Is a
very large population between Wilkinsburg
ana East Liberty now dependent upon the
Pennsylvania Bailroad, aud tbo stream or
travel which can reasonably be counted on at a
5-cent-fare rate would materially swell the
revenue or the main line. From WilkinBburg
or any portion of territory between that place
and List Liberty a 10-cent fare would cause tho
Pennsylvania Bailroad a cood deal of consider
ation l.i the matter or still further rate-cnttlng.
The peoplo look upon the matter philosophic
ally, as fares from suburban points are tumbling
generally.
It is a very significant admission of what
might have been, in tbe comparison of cables
with electricity, that tbe electric system is to
be made use ot in the new line as well as on
tho cxtcnslo' ot tbe Butler street line tn
Sbarpsburg. Just what system will be adopted
is not yet ueciaeu.
' WORK TO BE SOON BEOT7N.
Tbe Citizens' Traction Company considers it
a matter of a great deal or importance that the
circumstances allow it to beat any other com
pany into Wilkinsburg by severa' months, and
if no unforeseen difficulties arise, work will be
commenced in a week or two.
The site tor a power house is right at hand in
tho shape or tho open space fronting on
Frankstown avenue and adjoining the present
station. Every indication points to tho push
ing of tho new line in time to be of benefit to
the Homewood Driving Park season, and also
the Silver Lake concerts or this year.
The committee, consisting of MesBrs. Hvnd
man, Phelps and Kerr, chosen to mako an esti
mate upon the cost of putting tho Homewood
Park race track in order, will meot tonjay and
formulate a report. Mr. Hyndman was seen
yesterday, but said he had nothing further to
say than was contained In yesterday's Dis
patch. Mr.Hyndman was questioned as to tho possi
bility or the Conrt's revoking the license given
tn Mr. Haggerty for a bar and restaurant a:
Homewood Park, but he believed that tho
Court woujd hardly revoke a license unless it
was used improperly. Ho discussed the lutun
prospects of thepark. and expressed tho opin
ion that the park race meetings had heretofore
been seriously involved on account of the im
possibility or furnishing means of transporta
tion to the general public
WORK TO BE BUSHED.
Active operations will bo instituted in tho
work of remodeling and leveling the race track.
so that it can bo used by trainers and horse
men. Tbe use of the track would also aid in its
preparation for forthcoming racing events, and
as all the club buildings are still in good sbape,
it is certain that the preparation ot the park
for sporting events can be easily accomplished.
There is ample money at hand, and the park
will bo intelligently and economically man
aged. A number of trainers, representing
stables of from ten to 20 horses, havo already
applied for quarters at the park, and in a gen
eral wav the park is enjoying a "boom." Real
estate will be increased in value by tho re-estab-lishment
of the park, and Pittsburg horsemen
are jubilant ovor the prospects of a revival of
local racing.
A GIRL WITH A BISTORT.
Nlss Lizzie Seddon In tbo Station Ilonsr,
Charted With Incorrigibility.
Lizzie Seddon, a very pretty little girl of 15
years, is a prisoner in tbe Nineteenth ward
station on a charge of incorrigibility. The
girl, who stoutly asserts her innocence, has
quite a history. Five years ago, when sho was
bnt 10 years of age. she started from England
to come to America. Her grandmother, Mrs.
Elizabeth Seddon. lived at Larimer station, on
the Pennsylvania Railroad. Her father, a resi
dent of England, bad married a second time,
and the grandmother sent for tho child. Tho
girl was placed aboard ship with a tag bearing
her grandmother's addres- tied to her clothing.
In this way ftie crossed tho ocoan and found
her destination, unaided.
Over a year ago Mrs. Seddon removed to
Pittsburg, locating in the Thirteenth w ard, and
her granddaughters secured places as domestic
servants. Recently Lizzie has been working in
the East End. It was reported to the police
that the girl was misbehaving, and the case was
E laced in the hands of Special Officer Mc
.aughlin. When ho went to the bouse where
she had been engaged, ho was told she Had left,
and ho finally located her m Allegheny. Sho
was arrested and brought ta the Nineteenth
ward station.
The girl said sho had gona to live In Alle
gheny because she had gotten a place at better
wages. She denied that she had done anything
wrong. Her grandmother and sister called to
see her yesterday. Tbey know nothing of the
charges until after the arrest, but decided not
to interfere but let the police complete their
investigation.

S0REI THE B0I WASN'T DROWNED.
A Peculiar Reason for the Disappointment
of an Elderly I.ndr.
A good many loungers had gathered yester
day afternoon on the starboard side of the
Smitbfleld street bridge, to' watch tho fickle
sunlight coquetting with the broad, brown
river. A luxurious peace reigned over the
scene. Nature seemed asleep behind curtains
ol shimmering haze. Suddenly the calm was
broken. A shrill cry aroso from tbe shining
mud of the river bank, where a moment before
young Rcddy Moran and two acquaintances
had been gamboling, with all the untrammeled
innocence of hair a score of summers.
Ambitious of becoming a mariner perhaps
even a pirate Master Moran had
auited terra firma, for the less secure foothold
of a rart, constructed by bimselt and friends,
out or a few old planks. He then began to
amuso himself by poling the rart to and fro,
until caught by a current be found himself be
ing drawn steadily into mid-stream. That was
the cause of the shout from the shore, which
startled tho equanimity of every idler on tbe
bridge.
A buzz of delight ran along tbe line of on
lookers. "This is better than a dog fight," murmured
a tall Southsider, rapturously watching tbe
frantic efforts of poor little Reddy to find bot
tom with a pole that was all too short. "Serve
the little wretch right for boating on
tbo Sawbath." said an elderly lady,
with a promising mustache; and then
she smacked her lips with unction and shut
her eyes. Reddy struggled manfully against
the current. His desire for adventuro had
been more than gratified, but he did not give
in. Plunging his arm into the water, be man
aged to drive bis pole uto tbe mud bottom just
iu time, .men no began to poio tne rait, nav
ing to lie down to do so. For some moments
his efforts were unavailing. The crowd on tho
bridge was'wildly excited. A street car bad
been stopped, se that the driver coul i see the
tun.
Finally, Reddy was successful. Slowly but
steadily the raft began to move shoreward.
When out of deep water, tho boy rose to his
feet, and began to work moro easily. Finally
ho got near enough to catch a rope thrown
from the bank, and was towed rapidly to a
point, from wbere be waded asboro, ankle deep
in mud. He was greeted with a small ovation,
and the crowd on the bridge began to disperse.
The tall Southside sport went off rubbing his
hands, and the severe elderly lady turned sadly
away, shaking ber head over the moral which
had been wasted by the rescue of this bad boy.
INTERESTED COLORED CATHOLICS.
Th Quarterly Meeting of St. Vincent De
Paul's Conferences Held.

BELIGION THE ISSUE
r
In the Canvass for Delegates to the
Amalgamated Convention.
A SOCIETY OP COAL MINERS.
Wage Troubles Causa Great Delay to the
ricasant Valley Koad.
BEPUBLIC STKIKEES EETDEN TO WOKK
The selection of delegates to the annnal
convention in Jane of the Amalgamated
Association of Iron and Steel Workers is
causing more excitement than any election
known in the history of the organization.
In a great many lodges the issue of the
election is religion, and Protestants are ar
raying themselves against Catholics and
vice versa. It is expected that the coming
convention will be a lively one on account
of the religious feeling stirred up at last
year's meeting. Since they were ignited
last Jane, tbe fires have been smoldering,
and in many lodges they will be fanned into
a blaze before tbe next scale is made.
The determination now is to get delegates
with prouonnced religions views, and at the
election of officers the representatives
chosen will be of the same religious com
plexion as those in the majority at the con
vention. MAST HINTS THBOWX OUT.
At the last convention many were the
hints thrown out about the latent feeling
between Catholics and Protestants in the
meeting. Nothing definite was published
about tho trouble at the time, but since then it
has leaked out from various sources.
Tbe trouDle began with the accident on Fifth
avenne. while tbo delegates were on their way
to tbe picnic at Rock Point. While marching
on Fifth avenue a cable car broke through the
ranks and caused some confusion. On the fol
lowing Monday the action of the gripman was
severely denounced In the convention. One of
tbe delegates who made a speech against tbe
ranks being broken by a cable car was Thomas
Perry, or Shoenberger's mill. He said he saw
no reason why tbeir ranks were broken by
street cars, with police officers on board, when
otber organizations with headquarters near
bis residence on Penn avenue could parade the
streets on Sunday and be given police protec
tion. The "otber organizations" were thought
to be tho Knights of St. George and otber
Catholic societies which meet' near Perry's res
idence. The manner in which tbe speech was made
stirred up some ot tne Catholic delegates.
Among the latter was J. C. Kilgallon. the well
known Catholic representative of Carnegie's
Twenty-ninth street mill. He spoke against
Mr. Perry, and several others took a band in
the discussion.
Whon Assistant Secretary Madden was nom
inated tor the position now held by Secretary
Martin, there was a religious breeze. Madden
is a Catholic, ann bad for his opponent Secre
tary Martin, wbo is a Protestant. The relig
ious reeling had divided the convention by the
time the balloting began, and the Catholics,
manv of whom were Martin's friends, -voted
for Madden. On the otber band, manv Protes
tants wbo thought well ot the Assistant Secre
tary, refused to vote for bim and stuck to Mar
tin, on account of the religious feeling. As a
result, Mr. Martin received 120 and Mr. Mad
den 70 votes.
AN OTHER SXAG STRUCK.
A snag was struck again when the newly
elected secretary, Mr. Martin, served notice on
the delegates that he would appoint Deputy
George S. Baird to the position held by Mr.
Madden. This caused a bowl from the Cath
olic end, which interfered and refused to allow
Mr. Madden to be displaced. Mr. Kilgallon
was opposed to It and denounced tbe action in
a bitter speech. Others who supported Mr.
Madden were Thomas Carney, ot Jones &
Laughlins' mill, and Thomas Marlow. also or the
Southside. Trustee Edward A. Keil. ol the
Pittsburg Forge and Iron Works, supported
Secretary Martin, but tbe fight resulted in the
retention or Mr. Madden in the position. It is
now rumored that a strong effort will be made
to oust him if Secretary Martin retains his
place.
It is altogether likely that Mr. Martin will
succeed President Weibe. The latter served
notice at the last convention that ho would
officiate another year, but positively refused to
become a candidate in 1890. The trouble at
Shoenberger's. wbere the men refused to obey
his orders, will not De an inducement for Presi
dent Weibe tn continue at the head of the or
ganization. So far tbero are only two candi
dates in tbe field for President Secretary
Martin, who has been asked to accept the
nomination, and James Grundy, of Covington,
Ky. Tbe latter is one of the oldest members in
tbe association, and, it is said, would make an
admirable President. He has filled several
executive positions in the organization.
In Carnegie's Thirty-tbird street mill there Is
considerable feeling over the selection ol
delegates. In Superior lodge there are eight
candidates, wlth.two to elect. A strong effort
Is being made to elect two Protestants James
Sutton and David Wallace. Tbe Catholics aro
divided among tbe otber six candidates, and it
is stated that Wallace and Sutton will be
elected. The election will bo held on Saturday
next.
Among other changes rumored on the slate
is the retirement ot Florence G. Sullivan, Vice
President or the Second district. It is said
James Kilgallon is against him.
A SCARCITY OP HIKERS.
BInny of Them Have Gone Into lbs Iron
nillln DUconrneed With the Uncertainty
of the Business Heavier Ore Contracts
Dlndo for the Year.
"The settlement of the wage question for
the year is not pleasing to some operators,"
said a coal man yesterday. "Some of tbem
preferred to see the miners strike, as they
have often done, and then they would step
in and compromise with their men. The
result will be that all the operators will be put
on tbe same basis and the miners will seo thit
those companies who have bad a slight advan
tage will have tn pay the regulation price.
"Certainly tho warm winter has hurt the coal
trade. It has limited production, and that al
wajs spoils prices. Unless something happens
the prosperts are that we will have a good
summer and can give steady employment to
our men. Miners are really very scarce. Wo
can't tret men enough to run the work proner-
ly. I am told the Cbarticrs Block Coal Com
pany could easily employ 100 more miners, and
the other companies aro in tho same po
sition. During tbe last few years the business
has been so uncertain and irregular tbat the
men became discouraged, and they have gone,
into the iron and steel mills. But even if
miners had steady employment tbey wouldn't
work. They aro a clas who want to work when
tbey feel like it, and they think the mines
could be eas.ly kept open for thorn. The miiicis
aro rairly well paid these dajs. On looking
over the payroll-, I find many of them make
from J50 to S70 in two weeks. Theso aro not
bad wages.
II the boom in the Iron business had kept up,
I was looking forward to a season in whicn cars
would be scarcer than ever. Last ear tho ore
shipments to tho lake ports were 7,000.000 tons,
the largest up to that date, but at the 1st of
January tho furnace men had made contracts
for 8,000,000 tons. It will require plenty of cars
to carry this iron, hut with the market in the
present condition I don't know what will bo
done. The lurnaca men have made tbe con
tracts and must take it, it tbo shippers insist,
but tho latter may relieve them. But in any
ca-e the prospects are good Tor anotber car
famine. Tlie loc.il car association is doing good
work in liurrying up consignees, and they will
do much this summer to relievo the pressure,"
HE IS MAKING HONEY.
Dlr. Jacob Reese Now Bncncei! In tbo Pbo
pbnm Business.
Jacob Reese, wbo Is now located in Philadel
phia, was in the city yesterday. Mr. Reese,
says he is now with tho Pottstown Iron Com
pany, and thoy are making 2o,000 tons of phos
phate every j ear out or the steel. The com
pany gets $18 a ton for it. They havo received
large orders lrom fruit mon in Florida, Vir
ginia and Maryland, and large quantities are
used in growing grapes in tbe Niagara district.
Mr. Reese said he understood that Mr. Car
negie was putting up a converting plant at
Homestead that will make 1,00(1 tons of steel
per day, and out or this amount 400 tons or
phospbatc can be extracted. It is claimed that
Southern iron will he worked up. In speaking
of Southern competition Mr. Reese said:
'The South will never be a serious competi
tor to Northern men in tbe pig metal business,
but tbey may hurt tbe steel trade. The Ten
nessee Coal and Coke Company can make pig
iron for fS per ton, bat tho other maker can't
make it for less than 511. It costs about (11 in
the North, aud the difference in freight rates
will shut it out."
A Big Open Ileartb Ban,
One of the old open hearth furnaces at the
Carbon Iron Company's works, Thirty-second
street, was blown out on Saturday after haying
made the remarkable run of 761 heats. One of
the new lurnaces recently built was heated up
yesterday, and will be worked to-day.
THE Tm'SlT K0T B0 KAP1D.
Pleasant Valley Cars Delayed on Account of
n Firemen's Strike.
Patrons of the Pleasant Valley line were
given an opportunity to try slow transit yester
day by the strike of six men employed in the
power house. They asked for S2, having been
paid SI 63 per turn of 12 hours, and as the com
pany failed to respond favorably, the old em
ployes went out yesterday and green bands
were put In. Between 1030 in the morning and
noon, the fires below tbo boilers were so weak
tbat insufficient steam was generated and the
cars crept over the road.
Tbe officials, when seen last night, laid the
trouble on a gratebar in tho large furnace. As
the gratebar was propped up with a scantling
last night, tbls seemed reasonable enough.
But two stories were extant: one that the
strikers disabled tbe gratebar on purpose; the
other tbat tbe green bands did the mischief
by carelessness. After considerable hard work
things were gotten into normal shape, and the
officials say no more trouble will result.
WAITIXG FOB WEIHB.
ATemporary Cessation of Hostilities at the
Republic Works.
The strike ot laborers at the Republic Iron
Works is still unsettled. A truce has been
patched up. however, for a few days, until the
return of President Wcihe, who is at present
absent from the city.
The change In the size and number ot the
"plies" was made, it is said, by tbe heater',
nnder instrnctlons from the company, and Is
applicable only when pipe iron is being made.
The laborers agreed yesterday to do the extra
work if President Weihe so decides.
KESBITT AND BIS ISLAND
Not ns Lnrce as John Ball's, but Nesbltt
Snjm Gnley Can't Take It.
There is an island which, when the Ohio Is 31
feet deep, is not an island. It lies between
Haysville and Coraopolis, and in the dim past
was a part of Neville Island, but some time or
other before tbe reign of Queen Aliquippa the
Ohio got on a rampage and cut a chan
nel through. as It did between
Davis and Neville Islands at tbe upper end ot
the latter. Interlacing roots of forest trees
and willows kept it Intact until the greed of the
white man caused the timbers to bo cut off, and
then tbe river at each periodical flood took
tribute from it, and reduced it so that now at
high water it is only a bar. It was once
known as Hog Island, and there are people
living who used to attend picnics on it. For
many years it has been known as Hog Island
Bar. and has been noted as a valuable gravel
deposit and morgue, many bodies of drowned
people stranding on it, being detained, on a
falling river, by tbe willows.
Somo years ago Frank R. Nesbltt, of Middle
town, now Coraopolis, secured tbls bar by a
patent from the State, and though numerous
efforts were made to dislodge him, he held the
for'. Until lately it was only regarded valuable
as a gravel and sand deposit, but since it was
ascertained tbat the 45-degrees line ran through
it. it became valuable petrolenm territory, and
Mr. Nesbltt lately leased it to a developing
company. A day or two since it was noticed
that someone bad piled lumber on the bar,
which at the present stage of water is a respect
able island, and inquiry being made, the squat
ters were found to be operating under the di
rection of Galey Brothers.
Saturday morning Lawyer Tredway set foot
on the bar. and read tbe riot act to the men at
work, in tbe name and by authority of Frank
R, Nesbltt. What effect the proclamation may
have is not known as yet, but It is thought
operations will be suspended, as there is said to
be no flaw in Nesbltt's title, nor likely to be, un
less tbe river washes the surface to such an
extent as to make the island navigable.
SUPPOSED TO BE DK0WNED.
A Four-Tenr-Old Child Thought to Have
Fallen Into the River.
The frionds of the family of Michael Er
Unger, of McKain street, near Sooth Third, in
stituted a vigorous search last evening to dis
cover the whereabouts of their 4-y ear-year-old
boy, George. Some members or tbe searching
party returned about 6 o'clock with tbe little
fellow's cap, which had been picked ud on
some rafts in tbe Monongabela river at tbe
foot of Third street.
No one bad seen tbe boy in that vicinity, bnt
the presence ot tbe cap in such a dangerous
place was presumptive evidence of bis death
by drownine. Tho agitated parents were over
whelmed with grief. At a late hour last night
no trace of tbe child had been discovered, and
if he is not found by tbe police a search will be
made for tho body in the river. Some young
men railed at the Twenty-eighth ward station
and asked permission of Sergeant McQuade to
fire a cannon in the hope of bringing the body
to the surface. They were referred to Chief
Brown.
HE WIELDED A EEV0LVEE.
An Italian Charged With Trying to Shoot
Kirs. Do Paul.
George Frane attempted to shoot the wifo of
Antonio De Paul at an Italian boarding house,
212 Grant street, last night, and De Paul inter
fered and came near being shot himself.
Through the efforts of other boarders Frane
was put out of tho house without doing any
damage with his revolver.
De Paul then attempted to arrest Frane. and
Officer Oustott. coining along, arrested tbem
both, holding De Paul as a witness. De Paul
is a son or Michael De Paul, one or the men
killed in tbo riot at Stoops Ferry several weeks
ago.

A TERY WISE FATHER

AN ODD BOMAKCE OP THE MORGUE.
A Physician Identifies a Corpse as That of
His Missing Son, Uut
THE B0I iPPAES, ALIVK AND WELL
That troth is very frequently mnch
stranger than fiction can be, was yesterday
exemplified by the most curious case which
ever occurred at the morgue. A few days
ago the body of a young man was fonnd on
the tracks of the Pittsburjr, Virginia and
Charleston Bailroad, with the head terribly
crashed in. John McICindley, the superin
tendent of the morgue, after receiving the
corpse, restored tbe head and body in a most
wonderful manner, bnt for several days it
lay on the slab unidentified.
Yesterday morning Dr. G. Tj. Evans, of
Johnstown, whose son has been missing
from home a short time, while searching the
cltyf or tbe young man. visited the morgue, and
was horrified to recognize in the pallid and
battered reatures of the unknown dead his
missing son. The shock was a terrible one, and
it was some time oefore he could collect him
self sufficiently to give directions tbat the body
he properly prepared for burial and shipped to
bis home at Johnstown.
Dr. Evans, this sad dnty performed, went to
visit a friend on the Southside, aud had scarcely
seated himself when the very young man whom
he had identified as a mutilated corpse not a
half hour previously, walked into the room.
Exclamations, explanations and embraces
quickly followed. The doctor at once returned
to tbe morgue and notified Superintendent Mc
Kindley that the deceased was none of bis
funeral, and produced the living boy in cor
roboration or his statement. He would, how
ever, assist lr necessary to have his son's
counterpart decently interred.
Whether this new version of the "Two
Dromlos" is tbe result ot a wonderful likeness
existing between the men while alive, or
merely following tbe artistic work of Superin
tendent McKindley in composing tbe features
of tbe deceased until they accidentally re
sembled the missing man, it is impossible to
guess, but the dead man is relegated to the
already numerous ranks of tho "unknown."
