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."

by Edward Thompson on Thursday, is re

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

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.

the railroad boys and a large proportion of
the public call him, has been punching

surprise. He has for years piloted pas
sengers to Uniontown and back over the

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.

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.

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.

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.
James Lappan & Co,, the well-known
boiler manufacturers, have received an
order for wrought iron pipe for placer min
ing in Idaho. It will require about 60 cars
to transport the pipe, which will be riveted
like a boiler after it arrives at its destina
tion. The shipment will weigh about 9G0,

Meetinc or Directors of the PUtsbnrs; and
BlrmlnehamRond.
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.
The Alleebeny Shoplifters Recommitted,
With Sensations Promised In the Case.
There was no hearing yesterday in the
case of Mrs. Speeler and her daughter
Josephine, who are charged with shoplift
ing by the firm of Porter & Donaldson, they
being recommitted to jail. Bail was in
creased from $500 to $1,000, on account of
the recent disclosnres in regard to the con
tents of their home.
" Constable Billings is still at work on the
case, which seems to be growing in magni
tude. The hearing is set for next Tuesday
afternoon, and sensational developments are
promised.

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.
