MR.BUUN 'SSCHEME
To Secure South American
Trado for This Country
DOESN'T CIUITE CATCH ON.
Big Pittsburg Shippers Who Cannot
Believe That
P t
THE GAME IS WORTH THE CANDLE
"I am emphatically opposed to establish
ing any reciprocal relations between this
country and South America which will lead
to a free interchange of goods," said Mr. B.
I". Jones, the representative iron man, last
evening, in answer to a Dispatch re
porter's question as to what he thought of
Secretary's Blaine's scheme to build a trans
continental railroad between the two coun
tries. "However beneficial it may appear
to some industries in the United States to
open free intercourse with the Soutli Ameri
can trade, I think it is not consistent with
the protective policy to exclude certain
branches of trade from the benefits of pro
tection, in order to build up other lines of
business. In short, the admission of South
American products free of duty which com
pete with our own goods will be a dangerous
step."
HIS FAITH lit IILAIKE.
Mr. John II. Itickctson said: "Secretary
Blaine is a level-headed man, who can bo
thoroughly trusted to tako the best of caro
of American industries, nnd no doubt he
has an eje to the prosperity of the country
when he proposes to establish reciprocal
relations between North nnd South America.
The United States imports a vast qunntlty
of roods from the South American Be
publics, and there is no renson why tlio
transportation of tlio fame should not bo
in tlio hands of tlio United States Instead of,
as it now is, being conducted by foreign
carriers."
Mr. T. B. Atlerburv said the South
Americans weren't sufficiently educated yet
to make their trade worth much. Hume
flasiwara ran bo mild in cities, but In tlio
nterlor the people seem 10 grt alone very
woll with gourds us a substitute, lie stntrd
that Ills firm had maintained n man In
South America who could spenk Hie natlvn

speaking of, and that whllo tlio Hermans
and French continue to glvo n yrar's credit

way of comcquciiro.
nornmn to hi: oainkii.
Mr. George A. Macbeth didn't see any
thing to be gained liy a railway to IheHoutli
Arucrlceti Republics. Ho said goods could
already be shipped there In quantities suffi
cient to supply the demsnd lie thought If
Congress weie to let business aloua tlio
country would be belter ou", as lie considered
its Interference almost wholly mischievous.
He does not appreciate paternal govern
ment, and suggested that tlio Government
might as well provide carriages to carry
people to and from their business us to
build a railroad.
1-x-Postmastcr Larkln said be hadn't
gitentlie subject any thought, nnd wasn't
prepared to talk about it. He didn't seem
inclined to take much stock in the proposi
tion. George II. Bennett said his business
hadn't any personal interest in the propo
sition, but he was inclined to think there
was more talk than nnvthlng else in it. He
did not believe the road would pay, and said
it couldn't compete with water transpor
tation, if built He didti't think it feasible
to run a road into Brazil to get coffee, nnd
as for Peru and the rest of the Pacific
Coast, he thought reshipment by water at
San Francisco would answer a better pur
pose. As much freight could be shipped by
water and sent 'round Cape Horn to San
Francisco cheaper than by rail. Mr. Ben
nett could ece no advautage in a railway
two or three times as long, and Pittsburg
can ship by water to If ew Orleans and re
ship there to reach the Eastern coast of
South America for a fraction of railway
charges.
too much monet fob; corrnn.
C. Kimbcrland didn't know whether the
Ttnture would pay or not, but he thought
something ought to be done to stop the drain
of money out of the United States to pay
for coflee. At present it is virtually a cash
article, and the consumption of the United
States is enormous. Counting 12,OUO,000
families, consumption at 25 cents n week
would represent an expenditure of f 144,000,
000 a year.
W. C. Stewart said ho knew more about
real estate than about general commerce.
He credited Mr. Blaine with tlio possession
of n large iiuiouiil of bruin, hut thought
this country would find tlmt cither with or
without n railway, the vital question was
whether It could manufnoltiro cheaply
enough to rompcto willi tlio world. He said
tlmt when he was In the brush manufactur
ing business they roiild not ninko n brush

Babies appear to flourish in the atmos

selling is accompanied to the lock-up by one
or more babies. It is hinted that in some
cases the babies are borrowed for the occa

But Mayor Gourley's order is strict, and
unless bail is forthcoming women and chil

iBODT THE TIME OP TOE MURDER.
Willie Avery Tells How the Accused Man
Shook His Aunt's Corpse.
THE EEHAIXS EUBIED IESTEEDAI
The funeral ' of Miss Maggie Douglass,
who was murdered back of McKecsport on
Thursday last, took place yesterday, from
her late residence on the Douglass farm.
The services were held nt the house, at 12
o'clock, conducted by Itev. A. I. Young,
pastor of the First TT. P. Church of Mc
Keesport, and were very Impressive to the
large number of country folk that crowded
into the house.
In his sermon Rev. Mr. Young spoke in a
touching manner of the life of the deceased
and her cruel death. He said he could not
perceive whv anybody should kill Miss
Douglass. He could hardly believe that
yonng Myers committed the deed, but if he
was guilty, the minister said, he should be
punished for his crime. The interment took
place in Mount Vernon Cemetery.
A valuable bit of Intelligence was given
The Dispatch yesterday by one of Miss
Douglass' pcarcst neighbors. Joshua J.
Moore, an employu of tho knobbllng de
partment of thn National Forge, lives in a
neat little house near one corner of Miss
Douglass' field. Between the field and
Moore's bouse is n road seldom used by any
body going to the Douglass farm.
HE SAW YOUNO MYEUS.
Mr. Moore saw young Mvcrs on thts road
going home about 12:S0 o'clock Thursday,
nnd thinks ho met his aunt at the house.
Mrs. Moore, tho man's wife, saw Myers less
than an hour afterward, and ha was again
going toward tho house. This wns tho time
ho discovered tho body. To put the story In
Mrs. Monro's own words:
"I was standing nt tho gate preparing to
go to work when I noticed Miss Douglass
driving homo her cows, Sho hail on
her big gum boots, and I remarked
to my wife, 'There goes old Mag with her
gum boots.' At the same time I noticed
? 'nung Myers driving up the road past my
icuse, nnd I supposed that ho would moot
his aunt about nt the house. Tho road
rum nlongildo the farm, and although his
aunt was going noross tho field, sho was
going so slowly that they must hnvd met ut
tho house. Tho Jones girl testified to see
ing Miss Douglass iu the yard, talking to a
man, about tho tlmo tho murder was com
mitted, MIOlIT XATIS HKl'.K UDDH!.
"This mutt have been shortly after I snw
Miss Douglass coinc home with her cons.
and the man seen by Nolllo Jones may
havo bee. i Kddle Myers. I nut sure about thn
lime, as 1 had heard thn 12,10 whistle blow a
few minutes buforo seeing the woman going
across the fle.d. It was something unusual for
joung Myers to use the road running past my
house."
Mrs, Monro ssldt "After my husband had
f:one to "work I taw IMillo Myers pass tlio
muse with the spring wagon. Hn had on a
load of feed, and was using the old mail In.
stead of tho new one, on which ho generally
passed. When I saw him I am sure it was bo
twoenl and '2 o'clock, and it was less than an
hour after my husband saw him. When ho
passed tbe house tho first tima ha bad the old
wagon,' with a load ot pons, and the second
time he had thesprlnz wagon, with a load of
feed. Unless ho had a special reason for it, I
don't see how bo could unhitch from tho old
wagon, put his borses in tho spring wagon, and
drive to town for a load of food, in less than an
hour, I did not appear at tho inquest for tbo
reason that I was not asked to go."
mOM THE MOUTHS OP BABES.
Little Willie Avery, a 6-yoar-old boy was on
the spring wagon with young Myers whon tho
latter drove homo and discovered the body of
his aunt in tbo yard. Until now Willie has
boon kept out of tho war, but tho fact that ho
was on the wagon leaked oat yesterday. To his
tnotuor wiino sain.
"I was playing along tho road when Mr. Myers
came along in Ins w agon, and I asked him for a
ride, ilo said. 'Jump on,' and 1 did so. He
bad four bags of something (I suppose
it was feed) on at tbe time. Ho drovo
around tbe old road, up past tbe front of tho
house, and stopped at the yard. He got down
from tlio wagon and walked over to where bis
aunt was lying on tho ground. Ho took hold of
her and ihook her roughly. Thon lie wont over
to Mrs. Elscnberg's house, and told her about
his annt lying in tbe jard. After that he put
the horses away, and did not pay mnch atten
tion to tho body."
Miss Uorkholdcr, one of young Myers' lady
friends, was seen yesterday at Mrs, Kennedy's
house, and asked what sho knew about the sup
posed murder. Hho said, "Kddle stopped to
speak to mo between 1 and 2 o'clock on the day
of tbo murder. Ho was on tho spring wagon at
tho time and aid not seem to ho grlorcd.
When ho stopped to talk to me, he was on his
second trip up the road, ami It ho killed hit
aunt, it was after tho murder Isawblm. His
talk was about commonplace matters, and had
no reforetico to his nunt. His manner was tho
samo as usual very plcaivit, and ho smiled in
his accustomed way. If liu killed his nunt ho
must have no heart, us his actions or speech
did not betray the slightest agitation."
AB MTOI.lt AH liVr.lt.
Young Myers still maintains tho sstno stolid

DORA STEPLMN AKllESTED
LAST NIGHT ON THE ORIGINAL CHARGE
OF INCORRIGIBILITY.
She Threatens to ItcsUt the Officer, but le
Finally Persuaded to Go The Cnso End.
Mysteriously, but Alderman Ilnrtmnn
Has Kolblns to Sny.
The news that Dora Steplein had returned
home, published in yesterdoy's Dispatch,
awakened anew tbe interest in the case, and
a series of movements last night only serve
to deepen the mystery surrounding her ac
tions. During tho day sbe steadfastly refused
to give any moro facts than printed regarding
her disappearance and return home. About
7:S0 iu the evening she was found at her home,
and said she intended going down street. Her
sitter Lizzie urged her to hurry, and stood in
the door waiting for her, when Constable
Hchuetzlnger, of Alderman Hartman'a office,
appeared.
As Dora stepped out on the sldowalk Consta
ble Hchuetzlngcr apnroarhed her and took out
the warrant for incorrigibility preferred by
Dora's inothor after her disappearance. Dora
did not seem to understand it until. she was
under arrest. Her sister did not appear to tako
It to heart and acted as though the arrest was
prearranged.
When Dora understood tbat she was arrest
ed, she attempted to run back In tho house,
raying she did not have to go. Tho constable
told her that she must understand that if nec
essary force could bo used, and sho at last deci
ded to go with htm.
Dora was taken to Alderman Hartraan's
office, which was crowded by parties to othor
suits. Dora sent for her mother, who was at
Kt. Michael's Church, and tbo party enterod
tho back room and tbo door closed. Dora's
voico could bo beard protesting against arresr,
but tbo conversation soon becamn more sub
dued. In a few moments tho Alderman camo
out of tho otllec, but tho Htcplcin party had
loft by tbo back way.
Alderman Hartman was asked what bad be
come of Dora and her mother and what had
been done with tho case. 11c said that they
had gone home. Thn case bad beenpostponed
until to-day by Mrs. Htoploln going Dora's se
curity. A visit was paid to Mrs. Btcploln's bouse, but
no one was found at home. Mho Alderman was
again questioned. and said that ho did not know
whoro Dorn wt. Ho wai asked if the chargo
would be withdrawn and tho caso sottled. In
answer ho said he did not know) that Mrs,
Hteplcln nnd Dorn had gone out, and he sup-
finsed It would bo settled In the morning, but
le did nnt know what would bo done.
At 10:10 neither Dora nor Mrs. Hteplcln had
returned homo, and nothing f urthor regarding
hor whereabouts could bo ascertained.

the Census Hupervlsor Is not empowered to ad

who will swoar those enumerators who apply at
tho ofllco for their commissions.
Mr, Ollvor hopes that his report will bo

believes that his district, In compaotuess and
nearness to tho capital. Is oxoeeded by only ono

those reports oru tiled they will bo examined
nnd ntlilllod and warrants provided for the

that thn rash will bu receivud liora wlthlu two

LUMBER DEALEES TO MEET TO-fllGET
There was a big change in the strike at
McKeesport yesterday. A large and en
thusiastic meeting of the employes of the
National Tube Works was held last night,
and it was decided to modify the demands
for an increase. A new scale varying from
7 to 10 per rent will be made and presented
to Manager Converse for his signature.
The meeting last night was presided overt
by James Rowan and Thomas McQinley
acted as secretary. It was decided to with
draw the demands of 10 per cent all around,
and grade, the demands in proportion to the
wages received by each. This is what caused
the hitch between the company and tho
strikers. The former objected to paying
laboring men $1 54 per day, when other pipe
mills were only paying 51 35. Common
labor in McKecsport is now being paid 51 40
and the advance of 10 per cent would giro tbo
men moro than Is being paid in any mill or
shop in tho country for this class of work.
Manager Convorso said ho would .gladly pay
able bodied Irish laborers 81 M per day but
H ungarlans wore not worth it.
'J ho scale commlttea will meet at 0 o'clock
this morning to formulate the different rates of
wages to be domanded. As soon as this Is
dono tho committee will wait upon Manager
Convorso nnd prosent tho scale. In tbo now
scalo an advauco of 10 per cent will bo demand
ed for the furnace men and others on hot
work, and tho scalo will slldo downward In the
different departments until It reaches tho
laboring men and "tbroaders." Tho two latter
will ask that their wages bo raised from SI 40
to147K. Tho new icalo will not include any
domnnil from tho catpotiters, machinists, mold
ors, pattern-makers, railroaders and a number
of tho welders who aro working by contract,
lhn welders who aro not working by contract
wilt Ixi "in it" on tho increase. The rolling
mill closed down yostcidnyon account of an
overstock of mncl. bar and finished iron.

Th(fnctlon or tho Trades Assembly Init Hat.
urday ovonlng In relation to Justice McICcnnan
Is creating qulto a stir In labor circles. Thero
aro a groat many members of tho nssembly
who wish now tho matter had beon loft alone.
Tho reports of tho affair have boon somowhat
mixed and partly untrue. Tim Dinpatcii
presents below ths first correct account of the
notion. M. P. Cnrrlck olTered tho fnllowlngt
"Resolved. That III view of tho decision of
Justlco Maheiilian In tho Jeannelto case, wo
would recommend to I'reslilent Ifanlson that,
in Juttleo to the wnrklngmon of tho Unltod
Hutns, Ins biiiutlred."
Hevural members. Including Cal Wyattaud
Hncretary Ward, opposed thn resolution, bo
cause n committee had linen appointed to In
vestigate the roported effort on Mr. McUaw's
part to settlo the case, and if It was discovered
that Mr. MrUaw bud withheld any evidence
Jttdgo McKennan could nnt bo censured for
acting as he did. Hecretary Ward objected to
being Instructed to writo a letter to the Presi
dent giving no better reasons for the removal
of tho Circuit Jttdgo than wero Impllodln tho
resolution, Tlio resolution was then amonded
so as to provldu for a commlttea nt threa to
draw up a resolution setting forth the facts in
tho caio and tho reasons which led to offering
the first paper. Tho committee appointed con
silts ot M. P. Carrlck, John Ebmau and Fred
J. Mtoehr.
Home of tho mombcrs ore beginning to realize
that it is a serious matter to trlllo with tho
United Htatcs Court, nnd it Is stated by una ot

C0MINO CONTEST FOR WAGES.
Tbo Houghcr Seem to Have n Hllm C'banco
to Hccuro nn Advance
Tbo main talk among tho iron workers In all
tbo union mills is tho work of tbe Amalga
mated Convention, which will open up two
weeks from to-day. Tbo main question at
issuo this year will bo an adranco of GO cents
asked by the puddlers, which is to como from
tho firm, and a change asked by tbe rougbers
ou guldo roll in their waces will advanco them
about S per ccnt.wblch Is to bo paid by the roll
ers. Tho puddlers claim If tho finishers will
not ask for an advance tho firms will concedo
them their wages, which Is to raise boiling to
0 per ton on a 2 cent card. Home of tbo
finishers are willing to concede the puddlers'
demand. Irrespective of their own request,
Tho only oDstaclo in the way Is tho puddlers.
If tho rottghers can get their support at tho
convention they feel certain of success, but
tho roughers amongthemsolrescan do nothing.
They will be thn least represented at the scale
convention. Bo far ns can bo learned, thcro
will not be more than half a dozen roiiEhors
from the Pittsburg mills. Tho most from any
mill will bo four from tho American Iron
Works of Jones A L-iughlln. Tho othor finish
ors, on the whole, will oppose tho roughetson
tbe ground that It Is feared If tho roughers
should succeed this tlmo they might como at
thnhcntois for a portion of tholr 72io next
year,
NOT QUITE SATISFACTORY.
Tho Master Tinner' Proposition I Itejeeled

Tlio tinners' strike, although not settled,

the minimum wages U M Instead or i i hut
would nut grant the ndvnnee tn nny other men.
As this would only Inoiease the wage of about
3,1 men nut nt a total of over SIM), the men will
not Decent the proposition, and the committee
will so report nt tlio conference to bo held to
dnv. The master tinner nlsn held a meeting last
night and dismissed the situation without rennh
Ing any result. The conference to-day inny

Gas met last nlgbt and approved the ordinance
of the Consumers' Gas Company, providing for
a main to be laid on Preble avenue to the
Oliver Iron and Btcel Company, and also on
opruce and Benton streets in tho Ninth ward.
An animated discussion followed in regard to
laying now gas mains. Superintendent Yonng,
of tbe Allegheny Heating Company, was
present, and asked to havo tbe sanction of
the committee to open certain streets for the
pnrpose of laying mains. Last winter there
was considerable complaint from the people
about tho scarcity or gas, and next winter tho
company proposes to furnish all tbat is neces
sary. For this reason they desire to lay a 80
inch main from tbo eastern line of the city to
tbo Herr's Island bridge, and a 20-lnch main
from there to Pine street, to Main sfeet, to
Walnut street, to the wnarf and along tbe
wharf to Anderson street. They also want to
lay a 10-inch main from Robinson street along
Curry to Martin street, to Marion avonuc, to
Ohio street, to Bherruan avenue, to Montgom
ery avenue, to Arch street, to North avonuo
and along that thoronghfaro, under the south
sidewalk, to Irwin avenue.
Tbo lack of Information as to whether any
ordinance or act of Assembly empowored them
to grant tbe request, the committee finally
agreed that Mr. Young should put his request
In writing and present it nt a special meeting
on uoxt Thursday night.

tbat. while the physicians are of the opinion
tbat Smith is not at present of unsound mind,
he is of such erratic bebavior as to excite a sus

was tbe proper time for visits, Tbe homicide,
coupled with the attempt at suicide, was
greater presumptive evidence of insanity than
if snch an act had not been accompanied by at
