r THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH, SATURDAY."' MAT 8. 1S90. TO A Affairs of the Scotch-Irish Congress in Bad Shape. MOKEYIS NEEDED AT ONCE To Prevent Chicago Getting the Con- rention After All. SECRETARY ECHOLS SPEAKS OUT According to present appearances there -are lively times ahead in the affairs or the Scotch-Irish Congress. In a few words, the local executive committee is in a pickle, Chicago is moving heaven and earth to secure the event, and Colonel Echols, the secretary, says that Pittsburg Councils will probably be asked to take hold of the con gress as a municipal matter, and to save Pittsburg's credit a humiliating failure. The storm has been brewing for several days. The original executive committee had seven members, four of whom were min ister;. Rev. L N. Hays was elected Chair man, and it is now claimed that therein lay the greatest mistake. The committee met and resolved numerously, but worked little or none. Rev. Mr. Hays is to be asked to resign, on the charge of inertia, to put it mildly. He has done so little that the Scotch-Irish citizens interested in the mat ter are clamoring for his removal. Mr. Hays pleads his new church plans, but his colleagues are more than dissatisfied, and say that a change must be made. DISGUSTED BEYOKD MEASURE Colonel John W. Echols, the hard work ing secretary, is disgusted with the state of affairs, but refuses to talk much upon the demand or Rev. L N. Hays' resignation. Upon the position in which he has been placed by the apathy of those who should have assisted him he is much more com municative. "When seen yesterday he gave the following statement for publication. "I have telephoned to Frazier Brothers, the contractors, who are to equip Mechani cal Hall, notifying them to hold off until next Monday, as the plans for the congress have come to a crisis. They answered that 16 carloads of lumber have been shipped and that it is a hardship to delay them when their contract will require them to work night and day to finish the building by May 20. There is a penalty o' $500 for every dav after the 20th in which the work remains incomplete. It cannot be helped. I have gone ahead and assumed $4,000 worth of contracts personally, ajd I cannot see my wav clear any further. Unless something is done the thing will fall through and Pittsburg will be everlastingly dis graced in the eyes of the nation. It is too long a story to go over, but I can hurriedly sketch the main points. TIIE CASE Iif A IftrTSHEXJ- ''Understand that public sentiment is all right, and that the Scotch-Irish contingent is willing and anxious to see the thing a success. X nave given lour months of bard work, have spent money freely upon sta tionery and the pay of a clerk! have virtu ally abandoned my legal practice, and can not carry the load any longer. My duties were to advertise this congress, and see that people all over the nation were apprised of the movement and its importance, but every detail of the whole affair has been loaded upon me. The hall, the decorations, the printing, the music, the hotels, the entire minutiae of the event have been left for me to attend to. I cannot but sav that if the ex ecutive committee desired the honor of serv ing without the work involved they should now awake to the fact that a dismal fiasco threatens unless something is done inside of 24 hours. "I cannot go out and obtain subscriptions to meet these things contracted for. There was a finance committee appointed two months ago, and yet not one dollar has been collected and placed to the credit of the ex ecutive committee. Mr. Carnegie, Mr. Prick, Mr. Alexander King and others of onr prominent citizens have promised money to meet the expenses, but they have not been called upon, and must feel that their money is not wanted. THOSE WHO DO "WOKK. "Other men not connected with the com mittee officially are working valiantlv to move things along. Superintendent Pat ton, of the Baltimore and Ohio, for instance, who has so inspired the new proprietors of theMonongahela House with energy that they have promised to open that famo'us old hostelry on the 20th of the month. I have never worked harder in my life than in rushing this thing along, but an affair bringing into our city 3,000 actual delegates and vast crowds of visitors is big enough to demand all the work of a big executive committee. The International SundaySchool affair is moving along. Why? Because 12 citizens are after finances, a dozen sub committee.' are handling as many details, and the meetings are well attended. Every body has been and is actively at work. All these matters have been put upon my shoulders, but even then I would not 'lay down if finances were forthcoming. But the time has come for plain speaking. It won't do, and it won't go, unless some vigorous action is taken. The citizens who chose that committee must get together and make a change, and if anybody wants my resignation it is already written out. If $10,000 can be raised forthwith, the congress may succeed. Otherwise it must be aban doned. ANOTHER PLAX PBOrOSED. "Another plan may be put into effect to morrow. I may wait upon Mayor Gourley and request him to call a special session of Councils to come to the rescne of the con gress and save the credit of the city. Thou sands of dollars will be spent here by the delegates and the city Council could well affird to guarantee the actnal expenses rather than see a stigma cast upon Pitts burg. It is a bad state of affairs ail around, nnd the lethargic action of the men who should have been at work a month aeo, and who are not doing anything appreciable, is a reflpction upon the Scotch-Irish element which seems hardly fair." "Is it true that Chicago is hustling to have the congress transferred to that city?" was asked. Indeed it is true. In some mysterious way Chicago citizens learned of the present predicament, and Mayor Creeier instantly teleeraphed to Mr. E. G. "Wright, of Kash rille, Secretary of the National Executive Committee of the Scotch-Irish Society, offering the city of Chicago as a meeting place, and guaranteeing a .und of $20,000 for the entertainment ol the congress, and promising to make it a huge success. THE CBISIS HEBE. "Mr. Wright was very much astonished to receive such an offer, thinking all was well here. He telegraphed me, requesting an explanation. I have answered, promis ing one within 24 hours. I felt very much like throwing up the sponge and telegraph ing him to give it to Chicago. President Bonner, of the Society, is also on the anxious seat, and I expect a perfect flood of tele grams to-morrow. "I know it will make matters just so much worse to give a frank statement of the bad condition ofxiffairs, but I see no other way to arouse sentiment than to point ont exactly what danger Pittsburg is in of losing'a big affair aud ruining its reputa tion as a convention city. It will be ap parent that something must be done or the congress will be an inglorious fizzle as far as Pittsburg is concerned. Subscriptions are in order, and money talks." Corken Rrrovrrinc George Corken, who was accidentally shot by Edward Thompson on Thursday, is re covering in the Allegheny General Hos pital. Thompson will probably be liberated to-day. COM CRISIS ONE WAY TO BAISE THE "WIND. A Youiic Sinn's Ambition to Get Rlcll Nipped In the Bud. B. F. Levi, a young man whose father keeps a clothing and jewelry store at No. 57 Wylie avenue, hit upon a new scheme for making money easily, which was unhappily frustrated by the police., He went into Cappel's saloon, on Fifth avenue, and told the proprietor that be was a Government gauger, whose duty it was to visit each saloon once a mouth, and test the liquor. Mr. Cappel introduced Levi to two stand ard brands cf whiskies, which were each declared to be six degrees above proof. Levi then recounted the fear ful penalties which followed such a trans gression of the internal revenue laws, and sternly refused a peace offering in the shape of a drink of whisky. But Mr. Levi was not hardhearted. He would sell the gauging instrument be carried to Mr. Cappel at a reasonable price, and the latter, armed with that, could visit the wholesaler he bought of and rebuke him for selling whisky above proof. Mr. Cappel made the purchase, but when he visited the wholesaler with his I complaint he was laughed at and the matter reported to uiiiccwt niuii.aiu& Detectives iitzgeraia ana xioowson went after Levi and soon ran him down, discover ing in the meantime that he had sold a number ol these instruments to pew saloon Keepers. Levi was put in the Central station. In a few moments a number o his friends arrived and pleaded for his release. declaring that he was a nice young lellow and this was his hrst oflense. Alter Keeping Levi in a cell for a few hours the Collector relented and allowed Levi to go npon his assurance that he would sin no more against Uncle Sam. BY A TW0-THIBDS VOTE. Dr. Kcmpsholl Hints That Revision Will be Decided In Thin Way. Rev. D. E. Kempshall, Judge Wilson and Dr. W. H. Roberts, three of the com mittee of five appointed by the General As sembly of the Presbyterian Church, to look into the constitutional methods by which the question of revision can be set tled, met in the parlors of the Anderson Hotel yesterday. Ex-Justice Strong and Dr. Seftwich were absent. " Dr. Kempshall, who hasn't any doubt in his mind that revision will come, said that the committee had discussed the various plans and had prepared a report to be read at the General Assembly meeting in Sara toga. In the meantime the press and peo ple must be patient, lor nothing will be given ont until then. Dr. Kempshall be lieves that more than two-thirds of the pres byteries will favor revision, of those that have already voted, the vote stands about 126 to GO. He holds that when any changes are made in the doctrines of the church, it should be done by a two-thirds vote, hut mere questions o government and rules ought to be decided by the majority. The report will be submitted to the other two members of the committee for their ap proval or disapproval. STTXIi EOASTEfG DELAMATEE. Colonel Dick Snys ome Kelsbbors Wouldn't Sign Hl Character Oitiflcnlr. Colonel Sam Dick, of Meadville, the im placable political enemy of Senator Dela mater, was an east-bound passenger on the Pennsylvania road last night He now emphatically declares that Delamater will never be nominated for Governor, for the reason that he won't have enough votes. He doesn't know who the man will" be, but of this one thing he is sure, his name won't be Delamater. "The Senator has shot off his wad," con tinued the Colonel. "To-day he was circu lating a paper for signatures among his neighbors as a testimonial of his good moral character in answer to the TForZd's charges against him. A number of men refused to sign it. This is a pretty plight for a Gubernatorial candidate to be in." The Colonel is interested in the construc tion of the Pittsburg, Shenango and Lake Erie road. He says as soon as they can get it out of the hands of the conrt they will build it It will be another outlet to the lakes lor this city. POP KEannaYSEETIEEMENT.

His Old Economy Restaurant Sold to David Devine. Becently KUMEE0DS WAYS TO FOOL THE COUET Some people who have been watching the proceedings of the License Court thought that Samuel Bing was "not in it," bnt they may be mistaken. For two or three days it has been whispered about among police of ficials and liquor dealers that Mr. Bing was the virtual owner of a license which had been issued to another person, and that he would continue in the business which he temporarily suspended a year ago at the solicitation of Jndce White. An investicra- I tion of this report was made last evening by a reporter. Mr. Bing has been for several years the proprietor of the "Old Economy" res taurant, at 32 Sixth street. There he kept a saloon until May 1, 1889. Before that be was in the wholesale liquor business. His activity in behalf of Mr. Gourley during the municipal campaign of last February, at which time he visited numerous saloon keepers and solicited subscriptions for the Republican campaign fund, lost him a retail license, for which he applied this year. SOLD HIS BESTATBAXT. The first discovery in the investigation was that Mr. Bing had sold his restaurant. The sale was consummated last Monday, when Mr. Bing transferred the restaurant to David D. Devine. The latter used to keep a restaurant on Wood street, has re cently been a bartender in Mashy's, and lives in the Sixth ward. Mr. Bing applied for a retail liquor license at No. 32 Sixth street, so that his decision to sell his restau rant was arrived at after the Licence Conrt refused him a license, on April 4. A saloonkeeper of the First ward, who keeps well posted, was asked if he had heard that Mr. Bing had sold out. He replied: "No, I hadn't heard that, but T am not sur prised. I suppose he wants to look after a wholesale liquor store in which he has an interest. I understand that he got those fellows at No. 7 Sixth street to apply for license. I don't blame him. That sort of thing has been done in several cases that I know of. There is more money in the liquor business than in a restaurant." WHO THE LICENSEES' ABE. A wholesale license at No. 7 Sixth street was applied for by Louis H. Adler and William J. Mayer, who aie of Mr. Bing's nationality, and was granted to them on April 11. They are young men who have been conducting a cigar manufactory and store at No. 7 for one Tear. Mr. Adler lives in the Fifth ward of Allegheny, where he formerly kept a cigar store. Mr. Bing lives in the same ward. Mr. Mayer lives at No. 19 Second avenue, in the First ward of Pittsburg. Both men have been employed in wholesale liquor houses, Mr. Adler being a relative of Louis Adler, oi the old firm of Adler, Roedelheim & Co.. on Liberty ave nue. When before the court they said that they had a combined capital of $3,000. A visit was made to the store last even ing. A very heavy stock of liquors is being put into it The south side ot the room is still devoted to cigars and tobacco. A young man was engaged in painting. Messrs. Maver and Adler were both there. and two men were engaged at rolling heavy casks of liquor and boxes of bottled goods from the sidewalk into the storeroom. Marked on each package, in big black let lers, was this tell-tale address: "Sam Bing, Pittsburg, Pa." MANY MERE FIGUREHEADS. There are many ways to pull the wool over the eyes of the Court, but the learned judges sometimes see through the devices. They cannot always do so. It transpires that many of the applicants for license are bnt figureheads, representing men who have money but lack fireproof reputations. In one downtown case it is said that a saloon newly licensed is in reality owned by a man who kept a "notorious speak-easy and did not dare to apply in person. In another case a man who represented to the court that he was the sole proprietor of a saloon has but a 20 per cent interest in the profits. It is even said that there are several instances where ad venturous young bartenders have secured licenses merely for the purpose ot specula tion, knowing that they could sell out for good fat figures. The licensee can remain as manager or barkeeper, and thus keep up proper appearances. A PATEOL WAGON'S TBAVELS. Ladies nnd Gentlemen Who Rode In the Hurrynp In One Month.

DONATED A PAEK EHTBANCE. John M. Ilorli GItci n Valuable Strip of Lnml to the People. Mr. John M. Hoeh has presented a piece of land 100x600 feet, being a portion of the grounds about his residence at Joncaire and Fralich streets, to be used as an entrance to the Schenley Park. The property is worth $10,000. This will make the fourth entrance, the others heine located on Forbes avenue near the Murdock property, on Bellefield avenue and on Forward avenue. Chief Bigelow is in good spirits over the prospects for his park, and has SO men at work build ing roads and drains. Mr. Schenley held a short conference with Chief Bigelow yesterday and fixed next Monday as the time on which he will go over the park site with the city authorities. Mr. Schenley said he had nothing further to say about it, and that he and Chief Bigelow had not talked of anything important about the park. It next Monday is a nice day he will go over the ground. Yesterday he attended a little picnic at the old homestead. Mr. Bigelow, when asked about the meet ing, was very reticent, but said the location of the blind asylum had not yet been de cided upon, and that the deed for its site had not yet started on its way across the ocean. W0ULD1TT EELEASE THE BIRD. A Desperate Slrncelo to Preserve Fart of the Bicelotv Menngeric. Hon. John O'Neill started out yesterday in a buggy, with Hoaky Dermion, to convey 'Roger, the bald eagle he had donated to Mr. Bigelow's menagerie, to Schenley Park. The eagle took one glance at the blue vault of heaven, and then spread his wings for flight. This was not in accordance with the programme laid out, and Messrs. O'Neill and Dermion attempted to restrain him. The bird made a vigorous fight, and the struggle in th. buggy scared the horse so that he ran away. The gentlemen were in a dilemma. If they attempted to stop the horse the eagle would escape, and if they allowed the horse to keep on they might both be killed. They decided to stick to the bird ot freedom. The horse kept on along Forbes street, nearly overturned the buggy in a ditch, and several times grazed fireplugs, the eacle screaming and fighting all the while. Finally the horse became tired and stopped, and the bird was secured, but not before it had bit ten Mr. O'Neill in the calf and taken a chunk out of his pants. The eagle was placed for the present in one of the vacant farm houses in the Park. F0TJB HUNDRED STILL OUT. Depositors of tho Lawrence Bnnk Afraid to Give Up Their Books.

Quite a number of the holders who were approached refused to surrender their books until a receipt from the assignee was given them, and even then did so reluctantly.fear ing that neither their books nor dues would be returned to them.

HIGH TARIFF WANTED Glass Workers Send Out Petitions In dorsing McKinley's Bill. TO SHUT OUT ENGLISH CDT WARE. The Attempt to Organize a League Unsuccessful. Builders' LAB0E HAFPENIKGS OF IESTEEDAT The American Flint Glass "Workers' Union will take a hand in the tariff agita tion. Yesterday the officers of the associa tion in this city sent out thousands of petitions to the different local unions throughout the country, in regard to the McKinley bill. The petitions were ad dressed to Congressmen and Senators, and were sent to the local unions for the signa tures of the members of the organization. In the petition President Smith requested the secretary of each local union to secure the names of as many members as possible and forward the petition with the names to the Congressman of the district, asking him to present the names when the tariff bill comes up in the House. The petition im plores the Congressmen to support the bill, and to use all means at their' command to have it passed in its present shape. In speaking of the matter yesterday, President Smith, of the association, said: "The proposed McKinley bill would make a material increase in the tariff on glassware, and we would like to see it pissed. The schedule drawn up by Mr. McKinley is an improvement on the present law, and it would be ot great benefit to the glass trade it it was passed. The glass busi ness in this country has reached such a stage that it is not necessary to import any- iumg. ue maKe as good cut glass in America as can be turned ont in any of the old houses in England. The factories at Phillipsburg and New Brighton, in Beaver county, can hold their own in cut glass with any factory in the world. J,'Four-fifths of the heavy cut ware trade in this country is supplied by the domestio manufacturers. Fine blown goods and bot tles are still being imported in large quan tities, and if we had a tariff high enough to make the importation unprofitable we would kill off this trade. As a natural result there would be more work for the American cut glass mannlacturcrs. "We can do just as good work as the Europeans, and there is no good reason for auy cut glass being im ported into this country. The factories competing with the English manufacturers, in addition to the two mentioned above, ire at "White Mills, Philadelphia; Mcriden, Conn.; New Bedford, Mass.; Toledo, 0.,and Corning, N. J. We will not only sign pe titions for the bill, but will do everything we can to have it passed." The agitation about the tariff on tin plate has been somewhat allayed by the announce ment that, uuder the new bill, the dnty on nil gauges of tin is about 24 cents a pound. Eastern sheetiron manufacturers asked for a uniform rate, and under the change the schedule is perfectly satisi'actory to the "Western members of the Tin Plate Associa tion. GLASS MANUFACTURERS TO MEET. The Carpenters' strike Has Practically Par nlyzcd the Window Business. A general meeting of the window glass manufacturers throughout the country will be held in Chicago, Wednesday next. It is expected that every manufacturer in Pitts burg will be at the meeting. The most im portant business to come up will be a dis cussion on the outlook. Efforts will be made to prevent the market from breaking. The manufacturers think the market will go down if something is not done, quickly to prevent it. The carpenters' strike in Chicago and other places has practically paralyzed the window glass trade iu the "West. "When buildintr operations cease, jobbers are una ble to sell glass, and the manufacturers in order to sell their products must necessarily cut prices. So far nothing has been done in this direction in the present case, bnt it is expected daily. At the meeting efforts will be made to stiffen the weak-kneed manu facturers and show (hem the necessity of sticking ont for the card rates. It is also getting near the time for the an nual meeting before going out of blast, and the next season's business will be discussed. NOT A CORPORAL'S GUARD To Attempt nn Organization That Was to Represent Thomands of Men. A meeting of representatives from all the building trades was to have been held last evening at No. 537 Smithfield steeet. The object was to form a Building Trades League similar to the old Builders' League. Owing to the report that the man who broke up the Builders' League would be present to assist in organizing the new coun cil, there were but a handful of men present. The organization was not effected. Railroaders9 Officers Gone Home. Grand Master Wilkinson and Vice Grand Chief Downey, of the Supreme Council of the Federated Order of Bailway Employes, left yesterday mdrning for their homes in the West. They said they were perfectly satisfied with the result of the switchmen's difficulty, aud were glad there had been no strike. They praised Frank Hawley for his cool judgment, and said had it not been for him, there might have been trouble. The Tinners Still Oat on a Strike. There was no change in the tinners' strike, yesterday. The employers who had not signed the scale said they would continue to refuse do so until the men got tired and returned to work. They say the organization of the Master Tinners' Association is as solid as a rock, and there Is no likelihood of anyone breaking away. A Ble Order for Riveted Plpr.

The directors of the Pittsburg and Bir mingham road met yesterday at the Du quesne Hotel, and let the balance of the contracts for the electric road. Murray Verner was present, from Rochester. The directors couldn't decide what system they wonld adopt, bnt it is understood they are boldincr the road for a local company. The road will be put ra shape first, and then the system win oe selected. Mr. Verner said the contract for cars had not been let, but without doubt Gilbert, of Troy, will make them. There will be 30 of them, 30 feet in length, just 2 feet larger than the traction cars in use in the city, and they vilJ be so made that any system can be applied. The Standard Underground Cable Company gets the contracts to furnish all the roads ol the syndicate with insulated wire. This includes the Bochester, Louis ville, Buffalo and local roads. The Bochester end of the syndicate also met, and finished up some business that had been neclected. B. W. Clay, Horace Ma gee, T. De Witt Cuyler, of Philadelphia; J. N. Beckley and H. Huetchford, of Boches ter, and H. Sellers McKee and Murray Verner were present. Mr. Clay said all the bonds had been placed in the East, and the electric system was being pat in. He thinks there is money in the street railway busi-. ness, but be added that much depends on what is paid for it in the first place. EEB HUSBAND WAS PRESENT. Why nnEx-Pollccmnn Caused a Little Scene on Fifth Avenue. Ex-Policeman Charles IJowry, colored, learned yesterday that his wife had an ap pointment to meet a gentleman friend at the corner of Fifth avenue and Smithfield street, last evening. Lowry was there first, and when his wife arrived he forced her to remain until her friend came. When the latter appeared Iiowry prepared to annihi late him, and a large and interested audi ence gathered to see that the operation was properly performed. At this juncture a police officer appeared, and Lowry retired up Fifth avenue, in good grace, while his wife and her friend disap peared in the opposite direction. THEIR BAH. WAS INCREASED.

POSE YT KERR, 116 AN D 118 FEDERAL STREET, ALLEGHENY, PA. iDS-TXt M4 J AN INTEEESTIKG SUBJECT Dealt Wltb In nn Interesting Manner by Rev. J. B. Koehnr. At the Cumberland Presbyterian Church last night Bev. J. B. Koehne, of the Slay ton Lyceum Bureau, lectured on "Iufidelity in Early Centuries." Mr. Koehne, who, though comparatively young, has already made for himself a name as a lecturer, en tered into his subject with vigor and origin ality. He said that it was a surpassingly in teresting subject. The present- was ever fading away; the past was always with us. Unr bodies were the creations ot tne past. Onr poetry and philosophy were but the embodiment of past dreams and past re flections. The lecturer then turned to the subject of -infidelity in early ages. Having described the splendid battle of Christianity with Paganism, and its final triumph in placing its chiel and pope upon the Caesars' throne, he turned to the arrows shot at it even after this success. First of the infidel writers was Lucian. With ready wit, and total in ability to grasp the great truth o", and the great necessity 'or, religion, Lucian jeered against the chnrch, without affecting any real harm. He attacked with ridicule. Then followed Celsus, who used other weapons. He attempted to prove that Christ was an impostor, a mere clever Egyptian juggler. He attacked the Old Testament, and he attacked it with such apparently astute reasoning that he wrought damage upon it that all the fathers have been scarce able to mend. Mr. Koehne then traced the different heresies and infidelities of the Christian Church, showing how triumphantly she had overcome them all. FOB THE ANNUAL MEETING. Doctors Plan to Entertain Members ef the Stnte Medical Society. The local committee of physicians having in charge the arrangements for the annual meeting of the State Medical Society to be held here June 16, met at the Schlosser House last evening. Dr. Foster, the Secre tary, stated that they were at work on the programme, and it would be issued in eight days. The balance of the arrangements are about completed, and there is nothing left bnt to carry out the details. APRIL SILK BALE SPECIAL 10W FIGURES.
