SWITCHMEN REMAIN FIRM.

MUSICIANS TO PDT UP STAKES.
"We trill say what we have to say to
morrow," said Grand Master "Wilkinson,
yesterday afternoon, in speaking of the
railway troubles. Taking everything into
consideration Mr. "Wilkinson's remark
seems to indicate that to-day will decide
whether there will he a strike, or whether
the men will weaken and accept the proposi
tions of the companies. Matters pro
gressed yesterday about as rapidly as
a snail goes to a funeral. It would be hard
to find a parallel for the officials on both
sides, when it comes to sizing up their
knowledge ot things. "I don't know a
thing" was almost the universal expression
with which the reporters were greeted every
where they went. The railway officials,
those who could be fonnd, had evidently
been to an ice cream snpper the previous
night, and the Federation officials must have
frozen the cream for them.
WILL NOT ACCEPT THE TERMS.
However, it was learned that the com
panies had answered the demands of the
trainmen, and that the answers were the
same as those made to the switchmen. They
offer the day conductors 24 cents per hour,
and night conductors 25; day brakemen 18
and night brakemen 19. The men will not
accept the terms for the same reason that
switchmen refused to accept them. They
have added a new feature to their
objections to the propositions made
by the companies. They object
to being paid any figure per hour. They
demand pay by the day and 25 cents per
hour for overtime. If they accept a rate
per hour they claim the companies will
draw the line on them, and refuse to
pay them for all the time that thev are on
duty and perform no work. Answers were
received lrom the companies by 4 o'clock
yesterday afternoon.
The General Grievance Committee met and
heard the reports of the committees. They
considered the propositions made by the com
panies, bnt, although they were in session for
two hours, they did nothing.
THE SUrEBETTENDEJfTS CONFER.
The superintendents had a conference in
Superintendent Taylor's office in the afternoon,
but "nothing was done." Mr. Pitcairn was
seen after the usual two hours' wait. He re
fused to say whether or not the companies
would make any farther concessions. "We
have submitted oar propositions,' he said, "and
it remains for the men to say if they are ac
ceptable or not."
"But the; have already said they would not
accept them," suggested the reporter.
Have thejf Well that is their business."
Mr. Pitcairn refused to say what, if anything,
had been done by the superintendents. lie
also refneed to say whether or not the demands
cf the repairmen, car cleaners and other yard
employes -would be granted. "I have nothing
to say," is all that Superintendent Turner could
be induced to give as a reply to all questions.
It was reported last night that the members
of the Supreme Council will arrive in the city
this morning and immediately go into execu
tive session with Messrs. Downey, Wilkinson
and Glenn.
THE COMMITTEE NOT IX IT.
The local committee is apparently "not in it"
any longer, the business being all left in the
hands of the Federation officials. Nothing
definite will be done until after the Supreme
Council has made an attempt to effect a com
promise with the railway companies. 'When
they take this step and make their final de
mands, it is hinted that something will drop
that has not yet been brought to the surface.
It is claimed that if a strike is ordered the
companies -Kill discover that they have made
mistakes in estimating the strength of the or
ganization. It leaked out last night that a plan bad been
laid to tie up traffic in all of the largo cities on
the entire system of roads centering in Pitts
bvrg within five hours after the strike is or
dered in Pittsburg. In case it becomes necessary
to strike at all. The outcome of the difficulty
lies entirely with the head officials, and the ex
asperated public must muster together all of
the patience they bad saved for the baseball
season, and simply wait for developments.
ME. EKEIIi TO THE FEOXT.
Bo Offers to Bet $300 That the Great Weil.
crn Band Is Non-Union.
Mr. August Kreil, who has charge of the M.
M. P. TJ. fight against the Great Western Band,
called at The Dispatch office yesterday and
left the following challenge:
"I propose, on behalf of the Musicians'
Mutual Protective Union, to wager $500, pro
viding the officials of District 3, Knights of
Labor. ill put an equal amount, that I can prove
the Great Western Band to be a non-union
band. In the event of a failure on mv part to
prove the same, the 5500 posted by the M. M. P.
U. will be donated to the newsboys' home fund,
but should I succeed the money put up by D. A.
3 to be donated to the same cause. I am ready
immediately to put up 1100 as a forfeit as evi
dence of good intentions."
Mr. Kreil stated that the bandwagon busi
ness is to be discontinued for the reason that
the League club is not considered to have been
guilty of an intentional wrong.
SOME FIGUEES ABOUT COAL.
An Estimated Decrease of Three Million
Bnshels In the Ontpnr.
The following interesting statistics in regard
to the coal output were sent to the Labor Tri
bune: "Restriction of output as a means to revive a
depressed market is being systematically tried
by the anthracite mine operators. The output
agreed upon for April is 2.000,000 tons, which at
the end ot the month will show a decrease in
the production for the first four months of the
year of nearly 1,000,000 tons as compared with
last year for the same time. If this ratio of
decrease shall continue the entire rear the
total production will be about 32,000,000 tons as
scainst 35,000.000 last year; but it -will be 6,000,
000 tons less than the output of 1SSS, and about
the same as m 18S6. The increase was evidently
too rapid for a mild winter, in addition to the
displacement of fuel by electric lights, natural
gas and Ohio petroleum."
MAKING GAS FOE FUEL.
A Cheap Device Said Co Be Capnblo of
Prodncinc Gas From Coal fclack.
Captain Charles Gearing, of this city, is said
to have Invented a device for manufacturing
gas for fuel at a cost of 2 cents per 1,000 feet.
It Is understood the machine was tested in an
establishment on Wood street, and it proved a
success.
The invention is to be known as the water
gas process. It includes the use of coal slack
and water. The slack is pulverized and
steamed, and put through another process
which produces the gas. It is claimed that
each establishment using the new gas can be
furnished with a plant for manufacturing their
own fuel at a nominal cost.
New Trades Hendannrtrrs.
The various building trades of the city have
established joint headquarters at 537 Smithfield
street, where all matters pertaining to their
affairs will be attended to in the future. They
have a largo office, w hich will be used for com
mittee meetings, and will also have a general
office.
Bis Order for Chains.
The Baker Chain and Wagon Iron Manufact
uring Company, of Allegheny, has just made a
contract for 110 tons of naval chains for the
Government. This is said to be the largest
order for chains ever received In this city.
Wheeling Strike Settled.
A. M. Schwartz. Vice President of the Car
penters' Brotherhood, said yesterday that the
strike in "Wheeling has been settled, so far as
the men are concerned. The union men are
all at work.
A Nasi Steeling to be Held at FInleyvIlle to
Rntilj 1 1.
A call for a mass meeting of coal miners
along the Wheeling division of the Baltimore
and Ohio road has been sent out through The
Dispatch to-day. The meeting will be held at
Finleyville. Saturday moraine at 10 o'clock.
The object of the meeting is to ratify the fol
lowing proposition made by some of the min
ers: "In accordance with the miners' convention
held in Pittsburg, March 11 and 12. the scale
adopted was 90 cents per ton for lump coal, 75
cents for three-quarter coal and 61X for run of
mine. This basis would make three-quarter
coal 66 cents, run of mine 54 cents. As there is
considerable difference between operators and
miners as to what should be the adequate price
for theso two grades of coal, we would suggest
that a test should be made of two or more mines
in this district as may be agreed upon by a
committee of operators and miners, and would
further suggest that the mines selected be those
working entirely on the bottom, and those
working on what is known as the regular seam,
and that the joint committee have the power
to select the mines. After one week's steady
running, to select day or days ont of said week
that they may agree upon and their findings be
the price for such mining for one year on the
79-cent basis."
A vigorous complaint comes from the New
River coal field at Elmo, W. Va. The miners
say they have no check weighraan, and they
are obliged to trust the honesty of the weigh
boss. They have to drive their own rooms for
nothing, and can only make from 75 cents to SI
per day. The company stores come in for con
demnation. Flour is 7 per barrel, and every
thing else in proportion.
CONSIDERABLY MIXED.
The Trouble nt Herricks' Stirs Up n. Rumpus
In the THelarers' Union.
A committee representing the men working
at George T. Herricks fc Co.'s, tilclayers,
called at this office last night and stated that
the strike iuaugurated there some time ago
had been settled, and that G. J. Foster, over
whom the difficulty had originated, had been
reinstated in the Tilelaycrs' Union. The same
committee stated that legal proceedings are
about to be instituted against John Mclver, the
National President of the Tilelayers' Union
for keeping books belonging to the union.
Later a second committee called and denied
that the difficulty at Herricks' bad been set
tled, and also that Foster had been reinstated.
There seems to be a muddle somewhere, and
there is evidently a division in the ranks of the
union. Committee No. 2 stated that Mclver
had tbe books of the union in his possession,
and that he intended to keep them.
EIGHT HUSDEED MINERS STRIKE.
All Workers in Smlthton District Propose to
Come Oat This Morning.
A dispatch from Connells ville last night states
that 800 coal miners and coke workers. Includ
ing all the men in the Smithton district, will
come out on a strike this morning. The mines
affected are at Smlthton, Eureka and Port
Royal. The men demand the Columbus scale
for mining 75 cents per ton. The highest rate
now paid is 61 cents.
Stoner & Co., operators of th6 Eureka works,
say that the demands are unreasonable and
cannot be met. A mass meeting will be held
at Smithton to-day.
SUPPOETISG THE STBIKEES.
Journeymen Tntlors Decide to Send Money

a Public Meeting.
The building trades of McKeesport have ar
ranged to haveahugo demonstration on tbe
evening of May 1. It will not be a meeting in
the interest of tbe eight-hour movement, but

Klee's Pant Makers Go Ont Because Their
Wnjres Are Reduced.
Forty-five girls employed at Joseph Klee's
Sons t Co., 80S Liberty street, went out on a
strike on Tuesday because of a reduction of
wages. Their places have been filled and the
firm states that there was no occasion for the
trouble.
One of the striking girls stated yesterday
that there had been a redaction of 30 to 40 per
cent, and as thoy could only make about $1 per
day at the old wages they could not stand it.
Elgbt-IIour Tarns Adopted.
The steel department of Jones & Laughlins'
mill on the Soatside has adopted tbe eight
hour turn.
DIVIDED JN OPINION.
A Meeting of Reserve Township Citizens
Ileld to Protest Ajmlnst Anocxntlon to
Allegheny City The Opposition Not Tory
Pronounced.
A meeting was held in the Reserve town
ship schoolhouse last night, whose object
was to declare in opposition to the proposed
annexation to Allegheny City. There were
abont 40 people present, about half of them
coming from the city side of East street and
the rest being bona fide residents of the town
ship. Dr. Thorn, who owns considerable prop
erty in the borough, 'Squire Sbaefer, Justice
of the Peace, and John Schell, who operates a
soap boiling establishment in the borough, were
tbere, and are said to be the principal objectors
to annexation.
It developed at tbe meeting that Dr. Thorn's
property was too far beyond the city line to re
ceive any benefits from sewer connections tor
some years to come, and Mr. Schell bettered he
mieht have trouble about bis soap works.
The expression of some few others was to the
effect that if tbe borough was to be divided
and not taken into the city entire, that the
burden of expenses now borne by the preseut
residents would be loo heavy on those remain
ing. However, there was no very great arsu
ment advanced against tbe scheme, and the
meeting adjourned after only a short session.
Tbero are considerably more than enough
signatures on tbe petition for annexation,
about fire-sixths of all tbe residents having
signed It The question will be decided by the
Council Committee to-night.
INDORSES M'KEAK'S PLAN.
A Special Letter Carrier May be Placed en
tbe Sonibslde.
Mr. Stephen Collins, Superintendent of Mails
of the Pittsburg Postofflce, states that the plan
of Postmaster McKean in regard to meeting
mail trains outsido of Pittsburg and preparing
mail for immediate distribution upon tbe ar
rival of the trains, has created widespread in
terest. The plan has been so extremely successful
that Southside banks and business men are
clamoring for a special carrier to secure to
them the early delivery now in vogne in Pitts
burg. The request is being considered by
Postmaster McKean.
NEW ORLEANS FLOODED.
Tho Water Doesn't Interfere With (ho Texas
and Pacific Road.
T. C. Frew, Traveling Freight Agent of the
Texas and Pacific Railway, was in the city,
yesterday. Mr. Frew received a telegram last
night saying that tbe break in the Moreanza
levee at New Orleansiad flooded a good part of
tho city, but it did not interfere with his" road.
The line is still open for freight and passenger
business.
Found n Suit of Clothes.
A young man who gave hj name as Knonr,
turned pver a coat, vest, overcoat, and silver
watch and chain to Chief ot Police Murphy, of
Allegheny, last night. He said be had found
tbem yesterday morning on Sprinc Garden
avenue, lying on the roadside. The clothes are
good, and evidently belong to a man In com
fortable circumstances. Tbere was nothing
about them to Identify the owner, but in tbe
pockets there was a handkerchief, a pipe and a
bottle of cologne.
A Child Missing.
Mrs. David Timmons, of No. 61 South Six
teenth street, reported at the Twenty-eighth
ward station last night tbat her 8-year-old
son Joseph bad been missing since 1 o'clock.
He left home for school at that-time, but did
not arrive there, and vigilant search has failed
to And any trace ot him.
NO TAX DESIRED OS WEAK ALCOHOL
Distillers Blamed for the Attempt
Change the Tariff Lairs.
A THREAT TO CLOSE THE FACTORIES
It isn't an easy task to legislate laws ont of
existence or to pass new ones, especially if
they conflict with moneyed interests. Mr.
McKinley, of tariff fame, has discovered
this fact before, and when he asked Con
gress to repeal the law authorizing the mak
ing of untaxed vaporized spirits for use in
tbe manufacture of vinegar, he didn't know
what kind of a snag he was going to strike.
The vinegar makers are mad, and are going
to "Washington in force to protest against
the passage of the McKinley bill.
A committee of five, of which H. J. Heinz,
of this city, is one, has been appointed for
this purpose. Mr. Heinz is about the only
vinegar manufacturer in Pittsburg who
makes his own alcohol.
THEY MAKE THEIR OWN ALCOHOL.
Mr. Heinz was a busy man yesterday, but
his chief clerk explained tbe situation.
Said he: "The point at issue is this: The
vinegar manufacturers make their own
alcohol by a peculiar process, and under the
present laws It is not taxed. Tho law has been
In existence about five years. This alcohol,
however, is used only in the making of vinegar,
and if it is used for any other purpose we are
open to prosecution. We use considerable
alcohol In making flavors, but we buy it.
"I think the distillers are responsible for the
McKinley bill. The alcohol used in vinegar
has a very low strength, and for this reason it
is not taxed. Tbe distillers pay a tax, and they
probably think the vinegar men should not be
favored. Between New York and Chicago
there are at least $3,000,000 invested in these
alcohol factories. If the law is repealed these
factories will be closed down, and the vinegar
men will be forced to bny the alcohol as they
did before. It wouldn't be legal to operate the
factories.
PBICES -WOULD BE ADVANCED.
The result would be that the price of vine
gar would be advanced, but the most serious
drawback is the danger of adulterations that
would creep in. Unscrupulous men in the busi
ness would begin to think and would continue
illegitimate means to cheapen the pnec.
"Another consequence would be that the
vinegar manufacturers would be demoralized.
They can't be shut down for even a short tirao
without being damaged. A vinegar generator
is as delicate as a glass pot. You know if the
fires are put out under tho latter It breaks and
Is soon rendered useless. I hope the law won't
be repealed. Mr. Heinz will go to Washington
some time this week with the committee."
DISTILLERS DENT IT.
The distillers laugh at the Idea that they are
the instigators of Mr. McKinley's bill. Said a
representative distiller yesterday: "We don't
care how much alcohol the vinegar men make
as long as theytkeep within the bounds of the
law. We couldn't use tho stuff if we had it
It has tbe strength of a high wine. It is not
true
eitner teat we are at tho bot
of the movement. The only dis
torn
tiller who
appeared before the "Ways
and Means
Committee
was Air. Atnerton
of Kentucky, and he asked that under existing
circumstances if it wouldn't be better for the
interests of the country that tbe bonded period
be extended indefinitely instead of limited to
three years, and tbat tbe tax on whisky be re
duced from 90 cents to 60. AVe never thought
of the alcohol made bv tbe vinesar men, and
the reason why Mr. McKlnlev asks for the re
peal of the law is something I don't know."
WHISKY SOLD A IEAE AHEAD.
Pennsylvania Rye Becoming Terr Popnlar
In the West,
Mr. Sunstein, the distiller, is always a pleas
ant Gentleman, but since the defeat of prohi
bition he is pleasanter than ever. He was
in a happy frame of mind yesterday,
as all men should be. by the
way.lwbo wish to live long, and in speaking
about tbe prospects for business said:
Tho distillers are running to their utmost
capacity. The product of all the distilleries is
sold tor a year ahead. Tbe cause ot the boom
is the increased popularity of Pennsylvania
ryes.
In times past most of our whisky was sold in
tbe Jast, bnt we now have a large trade In the
West. In fact Western people take as kindly
to Pennsylvania wbisky as they do in the
East."
EQOIERKL HILL E0AD FOE SALE.
A Chanco for the Pittsburg Traction Com
pany to Gobble n Feeder.
Sheriff McCandless yesterday advertised for
sale the Squirrel Hill Railway on an execution
issued by M. J. Frank for over 16,000 for work
performed and material famished the com
pany. The sale is to take place Saturday
morning.
The company yesterday applied to Court for
a rule to set aside the execution and open the
judgment, letting tbem into a defense. An
order was issued on Frank to show cause why
tho petition should not be granted.
EXPECTING A DIVIDEND.
A Committee of Lawrence Bank Depositors
Will Visit the Assignee.
Tbe Depositors' Committee of the defunct
Lawrence bank will likely pay a visit to the Fi
delity Company this afternoon and endeavor to
learn something relative to a dividend.
It has been rumored in Lawrenceville that
the Fidelity Company intends making a partial
payment, and probably a partial statement of
the affairs of the Lawrence Rank by May 1, and
In accordance with this rumor the committee
deem it advisable to make the visit.

and Cincinnati Packet Line, says tbe freight
business on tho river has been very dull for
some time. Mr. Henderson states tbat shippers

A Ticklish Place to Drill The Question of
Whether Ibo Government Owns tbe
Rivers or Not May be Settled.
Frank R. Nesbitt's island promises to be
come famous, so that multitudes who have
heard of Hog Island bar will secure
an acquaintance with geography which
they would not otherwise. The lawyers
will have a fight over it and by the time the
smoke clears away we shall know whether
Hog Island is an island in name only or in
reality, what is an island in law and an island
in fact and many other things in this connec
tion too numerous to mention at present. In
the Imperial Dictionary the following defini
tion is found:
Island A tract of land surrounded by water,
whether of the sea, a river, or a lake, in con
tradistinction to main land or continent Any
thing resembling an island, as a large mass of
floating ice Islands of tho blessed, in Greek
myth., the Happy Islands supposed to be west
ward in tho ocean whither, after death, the
souls of the virtuous were transported.
Gailey Bros, claim that Hog Island Bar is
not an island now, no matter what it may once
have been. Squire Ferree says be can recol
lect when tbere were sycamore trees standing
on it, but the raging Ohio in her periodical
runs on tbe banks has so frequently
salivated it that most of the soil
has slipped off. Nature has done all
she can to repair man's ravages and
has grown a dense mass of willows on the bar.
One lawyer states that an island, to be one
within the legal definition, mnst be arable, and
nesuuvs lawyer, jur. xreaway, says canoe
Eroren that there is soil on Hog Island
ir, and that it is arable. He also
contends tbat the United States have only
an easement in the river and that portions not
navigable belong to the State. It is also con
ceded that the State has a right to tbe coal
under the bed of the river, at least patents em
bracing it have been taken out by various
people, and are on record in tbe Recorder's of
fice of this county. It is also admitted that the
river south of Neville Island is under
the iurisdiction of the State, and it
is under contemplation to fill in
the spaco between tbe island and the south
shore. Tho State of Kentucky claims the
Ohio river all along her border line to low
water line on the north shore. The United
States would seem only to claim jurisdiction
over the channel, for tbe Government recog
nizes riparian rights when it is proposed to
make improvements, such as tho building of
dams, etc, by paying adjacent land-owners for
property taken beyond the low-water line.
On the other hand, it is said that some years
ago Dr. Langtit and others proposed to get a
patent for Hog Island Bar, but Senator
Graham, after an investigation, Concluded that
it could not be granted. It is also stated that
when the appraisers appointed to take cog
nizance of Mr. Nesbitt's application went to per
form their task they found the bar 15 feet under
water and could not proceed until there was
an abatement. Acting on this knowledge
Gailey Bros, propose to build their derrick,
engine house, eta,-on a scaffold 15 feet above
tbe surface of the bar, and it Is suggested that
ingenuity might devise a floating rig that could
be anchored so as to rise and fall with the
river.
Boring for oil on the bar is considered a dead
open-and-shut, as it lies on a direct line be
tween the great Young well gusher at Fores
Grove and the Rhodes farm well above Hays
ville. "While one of tho contestants will ge
the oil, it is supposed the well will yield a con
sid erable amount of sugar for tbe legal frater
nlty.
DIDN'T KNOW OP HIS DEATH.
Friends of George Snowden Lenrn He
Died at Dixmont In February Tbe
Officials Say They Tried to Get Word
to Ills People.
Edward Snowden, of Brownsville, has
begun an investigation to ascertain why he
was not informed of the death and burial of
George "W. Snowden, of McKeesport, his
brother, two months ago, at Dixmont. Not
only the brother of the deceased, it is
claimed, but his wife was not even notified
of the death and burial, and would not
have known it now had it not been for the
fact that Mrs. Snowden's niece, Mrs. Jones,
and Miss Leavetrie paid tbe asylum a visit on
Monday to see George Snowden.
Tbey were Informed there that he died on
February 22, and was buried at tbat place.
This is what seems so strange to Mrs. Snowden.
'The friends and family," sbo says, "visited the
asylum at regular intervals to see him during
tbe five years be was there, as they also did
during his three years' confinement in the
Uniontown asylum, prior to bis removal to Dix
mont." George Snowden was an old-time river man,
and was well known all along the Monongahela
river. He was 62 years of age, and Uvea the
greater part of bis life at Brownsville, being
connected with well-known families of that
place and of McKeesport. He was a relative
of the late Captain William McMeans, or Mc
Keesport, and also a brother of Mrs. William
Wymen. of tbe same place. Eight years ago he
became mentally deranged and was placed in
the Uniontown asylum by his brother, Edward.
Mrs. Snowden visited Dixmont in person yes
terday, and was told tbat her husband bad an
apoplectic fit on February 22, from the effects
of which ho died, and that he was buried in tbe
grounds at the asylum.
The official to whom she spoke said that be
did not know that George Snowden bad any
friends, and tbat they telegraphed the news of
bis death to tho Uniontown asylum and re
ceived a reply tbat Snowden had no friends.
CELEBRATING HIS TICT0ET.
Magistrate Snccop Gives a Banquet
to
Newspaper Men nnd Others.
After the appointment of Police Magistrate
C. E. Succop, of the Southside, by Mayor
Gourley, he jocosely remarked to his news

ALDERMAN HARTMAN IS BEWILDERED
Alderman Hartman, of the Sonthside, has
on his docket a series of six informations,
which combined make a very interesting
story, commencing with a romance and in
cluding as many phases. The story, as told
by the Alderman, was as follows :
Mrs. Milford, ot the Twenty-seventh ward,
is a widow, and has depended on her sons
for support. Last November her son, John,
a lad of 19, disappeared, and was not heard
from until two weeks ago. His mother had
worried much over his absence, and was at
a loss to account for it until he returned,
and presented to her his wife, formerly
Miss Nettie Bauerhen, the daughter of a
neighbor.
The lad had gone to Dayton and there
married the girl, who is only 17 years old.
He had lost his job, and in his extremity
had brought his bride home.
THE MOTHEB WASN'T PLEASED.
His mother did not welcome her daughter-in-law
in good grace, and war was declared
at once. She claimed that her son's services
were due her until he was 21, and did not recog
nize his wife. The son protested, and as a re
sult his mother has bad issued an information
against him for incorrigibility and feloni
ous assault, claiming that be drew a knife on
her.
As the story goes, Mrs. Milford visited Mrs.
Bauerhen, the mother ot her son's wife, and, as
a result, Mrs. Bauerhen sues Mrs. Milford for
assault and battery, and turned her out of the
house.
Mrs. Milford's oldest son, Martin, also sought
Mrs. Bauerhen. to protest against her action in
ejecting his mother, and is in turn sued by Mrs.
Bauerhen for felonious assault.
AFBA.ID OP HIS BROTHER.
John Milford then claimed that bis brother
Martin laid in wait for him at tbe Fifteenth
street steps leading up to the bill, intending to
assault him, and he entered suit against him
for surety of the peace. John's wife also sues
Martin for felonious assault on ber husband.
Mrs. Milford is also sued by her son's wife for
using profane and derogatory language toward
tbe latter.
The five entered Alderman Hartman's office
and wanted to enter informations against each,
other, and the Alderman confessed that he was
pretty well confused. Finally he issued infor
mations against all of them, and will hear the
caso Friday. They were not satisfied, and all
sought to lodge tbe other in jail. The com
bined cases present a family entanglement
which is rarely paralleled, and may result In
more difficult complications before the affair
is settled.
BLEW HIMSELF' OUT OF JAIL.
Thomas Eitel's Knowledge of Music Aids
nim to Escape From Confinement.
Thomas Eitel, who registered at tbe Central
station as being from New York, has given an
other Instance of the power of music. He was
found early yesterday on Second avenue,
wandering in an aimless manner, carrying a
valise and a cornet. Being somewhat shabby
in attire, he was arrested as a suspicious char
acter. At the hearing before Judge Gripp
Eitel failed to make a good impression, as he
was rather reticent, and was remanded.
Yesterday afternoon Inspector McAleese
asked Eitel if be could play the cornet, thereby
raising the presumption that it was his prop
erty. If he could, the Inspector promised to
release him. Eitel at once called for his cornet
and music, and the walls of the station house
soon resounded with selections from operas,
waltzes and popular melodies. Tbe cell doors
were thrown open and Eitel walked forth into
tho world whistling "Annie Laurie."

How to Tell a Man Who Has matrimonial
Tendencies.
A young man wise beyond his day and genera
tion, considering be lias had no practical experi
ence in the last stages of tbe malady whereof
he spake, informed a Dispatch reporter yes
terday afternoon how to detect all men who
are on the verge .of matrimony. Said he:
"As you traverse the streets, watch for the
absent-minded, dreamy man who will pass an
old friend without recognition and allow a
cable car to get so near him that his life is in
danger. When you find such, and there are a
number of tbem roaming about at large, if vou
are acquainted with him step up and say: "See
here, old boy, what's tho matter. Ten to one
he will reply by taking you Into bis confidence
and telling you all about when and where the
event is to transpire."

ONE MAN, ONE TOTE.
Several Reasons Given for Opposing
the
Irish Land Bill.
London, April 23. Sir Charles Russell, in a
speech at Bradford, said that tbe keynote of
all future reform was the adoption of tbe "one
man, one vote" principle. He condemned the
land purchase bill on several grounds.
Mr. Morley, at Rochdale, said he opposed the
land purchase bill for five reasons:
First Because tenants were debarred from
free combining.
Second Because he declined to resort to
British credit until a representative autbority
was created to insure a popular and successful
working of tbe act.
Third He declined to impose a great liability
upon Irish rate payers without their consent, or
upon British taxpayers for the benefit of a sec
tion of Irish landlords and tenants.
Fourth He declined to make Ireland for
years to come a debtor to the country without
tho assistance of the only men entltlea to speak
in her behalf.
Fifth The machinery of the bill was unwork
able and the guarantees were illusory.
Referring to what he called "State Social
ism," Mr. Morley said: "This State Socialism
is protecting us from a social revolution."
