CHICAGO IS OUT OF IT.
Stock Brokers to Get Their Grain
Quotations From Sew York.
CAMP AND COMPANY iUEESTED.
A McKeesport Speculator Who Dropped
52,500 Wants It Back.
THE MARKET CATCHES J. K. J0HKST0N
The stock brokers and "bucket shop"
men of this city have made an agreement
not to handle any more Chicago grain quo
tations after May 1. Beginning on Thurs
day the Pittsburg men will get all their
grain quotations from Kew York. To cir
cumvent the Chicago Board of Trade, and
in order to supply the brokers and "bucket
shops" with quotations, the "Western Union
Telegraph Company tried the experiment of
sending out the quotations from the New
York Stock Exchange. For the past week
or more the quotations have been coming
into this city regularly by ticker from the
metropolis. Since shutting down on the
brokers and others outside the Chicago
Board of Trade floor, the directors of the
latter say they have secured more business
than they could otherwise do.
PITTSBUBG MEN BEST IT.
They say that on account of the bucket
shops not getting the quotations, the "curb
stone" buyers have been unable to do
business with the "shop" men and neces
sarily had to go to the members of the Board
of Trade, doing business on the floor. The
Pittsburg brokers say this is untrue. The
"curbstone" buyers do not patronize the
regular brokers, for the reason that they
would be compelled to put up too
much margin. In a "bucket shop,"
they would not have to put np more
than 1 per cent, while with a regular broker
they would be compelled to lay down 10 per
cent on all orders. The people doing busi
ness with the "bucket shop" men, they
claim, cannot put up this amount It re
quires a large capital to trade on the Board
of Trade, while 510 is sufficient capital to
buck the game in a "shop." A serious loss
to the Chicago men, their customers in this
city and all parts in Ohio. The latter can
not get the quotations regularly and have
been making arrangements to get them
from New York.
A PICNIC IN TORE.
The local pork agents have been having a
regular picnic since the Chicago quotations
were cnt ofE They now have to rely on
messages received from the honses they rep
resent. By the time the messages are de
livered, the market may jump several points
either way, and thousands of dollars maybe
made or lost in a few minutes. A firm in
the city might get a message from their
broker to the effect that pork was selling at
such a figure. If the firm wanted to buy,
they might replT promptly to the broker,
and when the latter would receive tbe an
swer, pig might have jumped up several
points.
The only difference between trading in
Kew York and Chicago is in the freight
rates. It is said there is almost as much
speculation in grain in New York as in
Chicago.
CA3IP THE PLUNGEB SUED.
An information was made before Judge
Gripp yesterday against Frank L. Camp,
Charles T. Hewitt and Victor C. Place,
representing the Pittsburg Commission
Company, by one of the men caught by the
failure ot that firm on Saturday. The prose
cutor is C. H. Black, a resident of McKees
port, who did business with the firm at their
branch bouse in that town. He alleges they
set up a blackboard, on which they pub
lished quotations of the' rise and fall of
grain and oil, and allowed an assemblage
there for the purpose of betting and staking
money on the issue. The charge alleged is
gambling. Camp and Place were both ar
rested and gave nail for a hearing on Sat
urday, but Hewitt was not apprehended.
The prosecutor, it is said, dropped S2.500.
Another failure in stock circles occurred
yesterday. J. R. Johnston, one of the best
known brokers in the city, and who is well
known on account of being the Prohibition
candidate for State Treasurer, announced to
the Exchange that he was unable to meet
his obligations and had to close out. The
following statement was found posted on his
dooryesterday morning:
SEVENTY-FIVE ON THE DOLLAR.
"Owing to recent heavy losses I am com
pelled to temporarily suspend business. I
will as soon as possible submit a statement
and arrange a settlement with my creditors."
Mr. Johnston has been doing a regular
stock business in this city for the past eight
or nine years. The canse of his failnre as told
by hiinselt is :is follows. Jlr Johnston said:
"Owing to recent heavy losses, caused by
trade running against me, and a joint loss
of considerable amount involved in the
failure of the Pittsburg Commission Com
pany, I thought best, for the interest of my
customers and myself, to suspend operations
to-day, until I could have time to look
about and arrive at a con
clusion as to what was best
to do. I am satisfied now that
under a forced settlement I can pay 75 cents
on the dollar on Saturday's liabilities, and
hope to do even belter. I have carried on a
legitimate business, being prepared through
my connections with all the markets, to de
liver any goods sold through my office the
moment they were demanded, and it is only
through one of the unfavorable turns of
trade that I am forced into my present po
sition." "VISITING FREIGHT AGENTS.
The Trnfflc Men of ibe PcnniiylTiinln Com
pany on nn Inspecting Tour.
The division freight agents of the Penn
sylvania Company's lines have adopted a
new plan to gather ideas, and post them
selve?about the facilities of their system.
This year, for the first time, they have or
ganized a party, and are visiting all the im
portant points on the Pennsylvania lines
west of Pittsburg. Yesterday they were in
1'ittsburg, and to-morrow will go to Wheel
ing and Zanesville.
In the partv registered at the Anderson
Hotel last evening were D. F. McCabe, Co
lumbus; E. F. Fuller, Cincinnati; G. W.
Davis, Richmond; S. F. Gray, Indianapo
lis; F. "V. 'Wilkinson, Zanesville; J. B.
Hill, Chicago; K. "W. Geigcr, Louisville.
Division Freight Agent Means, of the Pan
handle, acted as guide, and showed them
around over the terminal tracks of the road.
Mr. Geicer said last evening that he had
learned some things about railroads that he
neve knew be ore. They paid some atten
tion to the condition ol the tracks and the
location of switches. Mr. Geiger stated
that Pittsburg wasone of the most import
ant points on the system, and the tonnage of
this city is enormous.
Making I lie Judge Get a More On.
Judge "White yesterday made an order
directing Judge gailey, assignee of Graff,
Bennett & Co., to proceed at once with a
distribution among-the creditors of the funds
in his hands.

ST. PATH'S FEAST DATOBSEBVED.
The PaialonUts nave a Gala Day in Honor
or Tbelr Snlnt.
The feast of St Paul of the Cross, founder
of the order of Passionists was, celebrated
yesterday in all the Passionist Monasteries
of the world, including the cne on Mt
Oliver this city. The celebration began at
6:30 A. M., with low mass. Solemn high
mass commenced at 10 o'clock. Bev. S. J.
Schrnmm, of St George's Church, assisted
by BeT. Father McTighe, of St Malachi's
Church, and the Passionist fathers celebrat
inc it.
The sermon was delivered by Bev. Father
Morgan M. Sheedy, of the church of Our
Lady orMercy. The text was: "He shall
be like a tree which is planted near the
runuing water, which shall bring forth its
fruit in due season and his leal shall not
fall off, and all whatsoever he shall do shall
prosper."
Among other things, Father Sheedy said:
"The most beautiful illustration of a
righteous man's life is a garden with its
fruit If we would really bring before us
what is both the highest "blessing in God'
service and also in fast, the ordinary por
tion of good men, we shall find it to consist
in what from its very nature cannot make
much show in history; in a life barren of
great events and rich in small ones.accord
ingtothe judgment of the world; in a life
of routine duties; of happy obscurity and in
ward fears; ot an orderly dispensing of good
to others who come within their influence; of
a growth and blossoming and bringing
forth fruit in the house ot Orod; and of a
blessed death in the presence of their
brethren.
Father Sheedy then gave an outline of
St Paul, the patron saint ot the order. St
Paul was born January 3, 1691, and at an
early age indicated his strength of mind
and purpose in life. "Voltaire, the great
French skeptic, was born in the same year,
and his life was in marked contrast to the
pious St Paul's. Father Sheedy conclnded
his remarks by comparing St Paul with a
tree bearing good fruit. At the conclusion
of the ceremony a sumptuous banqnet was
served at the retreat to as many of the visit
ing clergy as the accommodations would
permit In the afternoon a service for
children was held.
AMERICAN OIL AWAY AHEAD.
European Cnpltnllsts Are Afraid of the Un
skilled Workmen.
"W. B. Bowring and L. B. Stoddard, two
Liverpool oil dealers, arrived last evening,
and registered at the Scblo&ser. Mr. Bow
ring is a personal friend of President Camp
bell, of the Bear Creek Refining Company,
and they propose to eo over the field in this
locality. Mr. Bowring said that the price
of oil still remained firm in England, and
the demand was good. The Bussian fluid is
coming into competition, and it almost
equals the American oil.
Concerning threatened labor troubles in
Enrope Mr. Bowring stated that England
had nothing to fear from her skilled work
men, xney are thoroughly organized and
are men of good judgment, as anxious to
preserve peace and good order as the mas
ters. Common labor, however, in the Brit
ish Isles and on the Continent is the dis
turbing element It is the unskilled work
ing classes that the English dread the most,
and are afraid may produce trouble at al
most any time. European capitalists are
awaiting with apprehension for May 1, on
which day the eight-hour movement will be
inaugurated on the Continent
ENGLISH CLOI
i ON A VISIT.
Manufacturers of Worsteds In Bradford
Seclne American Sights.
"William Hey and "William Firth, of
Bradford, England, are stopping at the Du
quesne. They arc manufacturers of worsted
goods, and were called to New York to tes
tily in a tariff case. It seems an importer
of that city was bringing into the country a
lot of woolen goods and classifying them as
worsted?. The difference in the duties is
about 26 cents per pound. Suit was entered
against the importer by the Collector of
Customs, and these two manufacturers were
called in to give some information.
Once in New York they concluded to see
some of the country and so came to Pitts
burg. One ot the members of J. P.
"Witherow & Co. showed them around the
city yesterday.

A Quarrel Thnt Resulted tn Three Slen Being
Held for Cour-.
Henry Gifsky charges Oscar Soffel with
pounding him, and Jacob Zimmon and Abe
Cohen with encouraging the war. Gifsky
said be was lying on a lounge in his resi
dence, at No. 24 High street, at the time,
and that the trouble was over a matter of a
few dollars. The accused were required by
Alderman Beilly last evening to give 5300
bail for trial at court
Although the amount involved was not
larce, there was so much chin music, re
joinder and sur-rejoinder that the Alderman
was nearly two hours wading through the
case.

A Soho Expressman Hauled Up for Cruelty
to His Horse.
An information was made yesterday by
Assistant Agent Berryman, or the Humane
Society, against "Wm. Borland, a Soho ex
pressman, for cruelty to a horse. Borland
was driving along Glass run, above Hays
station, last Monday, when his horse fell in
the rim.
The horse was not injured, hut the water
almost covered him. Borland, it is alleged,
walked ofi and left the beast lying in the
water, where he remained for 30 hours,
when, some residents got him out
