KM vy?f H7flffJ ' w I I t Ira' FOB HISJM'S SAKE Eddio Myers' Father Takes a a Trip to McKeesport. ANOTHER ABREST IS MADE, Bat the Donglass Mystery is Kot let Cleared Dp. WHY MES. BECK WAS PDT IN JAIL John Myers, lather of Eddie Myers, the young McKeesjKrter now in jail scented of the murder of hit aunt, Miss Margaret Douglass, on the Douglass farm at McKees Dort, on the 15th instant, arrived in Mc Kccjport yesterday for the purpose of look ing after his son's property, and will make an effort to hare the young man released on bail. Mr. My'crs says he has only seen his son twice n his life, but has always had a fatherly interest in the boy. The latter, he says, has always been taken care of by his aunt, who raised him from an infant. Eddie's mother died when he was only 20 days old, and since that time his father has seen little ot him. In conversation with a Dispatch representative Mr. Myers said: XTIVL TRr TO FEEE HIM. "I will make an effort to sec that Eddie pets good treatment, and I think I can get him out of jail on bail. His annt kept him away from me, and I have seen the boy bat twice in my life. 1 do not know who has control of his property, but will see that it does not fall into bad hands. 1 have been living at Salem, 'Westmoreland county, and the first I heard ol the murder was when I taw it in The Dispatch." Another arrest was made in the mysteri ous case yesterday. Detective Charles Cook, employed by the Finkerton agency in the borough, went to the house of Mrs. Emma Beck, near the Douglass farm, and placed the woman under arrest. She was taken to 'Squire McMarlin's office and civen a pre liminary hearing. The 'Squire considered the circumstances surrounding the arrest sufficient to hold Mrs. Beck, and ordered her to be taken to the county jail. Mrs. Beck, who is one of the nearest neighbors to the Donglass farm, has told many conflicting stories since Thursday. Toe latter, ahe admits, has been a frequent visitor to her bouse, and she often went to Fee Miss Douglas. She claims this would be no bar to her telling all she knows about the case. ON WHAT SHE IS HELD. The point on which Mrs. Beck is being held is her statement about her boy being on the wagon when young Myers discovered the body of Ills aunt upon his arrival home from town with a load of feed. Mrs. Beck said the boy was at school, and the latter rnya lie was on the wagon and rode home with Myers. Bho also tried to discredit the testimony of Nolllo Jones, Mtt. Heck was interviewed yesterday si the was on her way to Iml In charge of Con etnble I'lpcr. Hlio mid: "On the Thursday of the murder 1 went to town with my hus. band's dinner about noon, I had been In the Imhlt of cinlliig my hoy, but as I had n note to pay the Interna on at tlio Klrst National Jlnnk, I went to town myself. 1 got the money fit from my husband and then went to the bank, After making thu payment, I went tn several timet anil uttended to soma business. When I was through, I started home, arriving at thu latter plnce about 3 o'clock. I did not know anything about the murder until I was liild by one of my children that Miss Doug lats' body Mas found In the yard, I nm sure this was about 3 o'olnok In the after, noon, and was several hours after the dead woman was reported to havo been found, WHEN HUE WAN I, A NT TIIEIIE. "I had not been near the Douglass house the day of the murder until after thu dis covery of the body. The last time I whs there was on Tuesday evening, and Eddie und his aunt were preparing to go to the taxpayers' meeting. Hliu asked him to but ton ncr snoes, nnu ue uiu so. At me same time iitie remarked that he had better hurry up and get a wile to take care or, as lie was probably tired of caring lor her. IIo re plied that he would marry the girl he loved, nud sbe told him II he did he would not get any oi ncr money, jie saiu ueuia not care, and with this the conversation ceased." "While Mrs. Beck was telling her story the broke down, and wept bitterly. She said she was not an accomplice of Eddie Myers, and the only time he visited her bouse was when he was passing, and only dropped in in a neighborly way. Her husband worts at the blast furnaces, and when he teard of his wife's arrest he tried to secure ball, but could not. The latter was first fixed at ?5,000, and afterward the detective said be would refuse bail, although what be bad to do with it was not clear to Mrs. Bect'a friends. Tfc Constable riper is still working on the case, and hopes to develop something about the missing revolver in a few days. John Cooley, father of the girl to whom young Myers was engaged, was yesterday placed in charge of the Douglass farm by the attorneys for the defense. Mrs. Beck was brought to the county jail about G o'clock. Shortly afterward Colonel Blakeley, her attorney, called to see her, but was refused admittance, it being after the regular visiting hours of the prison. MAT BE A CLEW. The Chief of Police of Altoona wired the Chief at McKeesport that the man Charles Freeman, who tried to commit suicide at Altoona Friday night, is continually mur muring about the "McKeesport murder" while in a delirium. The man. he says, is a notion peddler, who hailed from Pittsburg, and he talks so much of the mur der that he is of the belief that he knows something of the recent murders, or at least one of them. The McKeesport authorities telegraphed to hold the man, and there will be no trouble, as bis bead is nearly severed from his body on account of his attempt at snicide. Investigation shows that a man answering the descrintion of Freeman called at the McKeesport City Clerk's office, just prior to the Douglass murder, and took out a license to peddle watches. A detective will go to Altoona to look into the case. The would-be suicide is supposed to be a Polish Hebrew. KEW JfATUEAL GAB PD?ES. The Atlcchcnr Hoatlnc Compnnr Will Row hupplr More fin.

VISITORS PROM TAB PACIFIC COAST The preparationi for the Scotch-Irish Con gress are all but completed. The commit tees are hard at work; their principal labor just now being the completion of an exact list of all visitors who desire scats in tbe congress. A handsome copy of the coat of arms of the association arrived yesterday from Philadelphia. The arms will be reproduced in many parts of the Congress hall, and nn immense copy ten feet in diameter, placed over the central dais. For the benefit of such Scotch-Irishmen as are interested in heraldry, the fol lowing description of the coat maybe given: Argent, 13 stripes gules; on a chief azure, stars proper; the whole surmounted by the royal arms of O'Neill, namely, argent, a righthand gules, and surrounded be a bordure plain or. The motto of the associa tion Is, as will be seen in the annexed cat, "Liberty and Law." Ho crest has been selected. THE HLOODT HAND. The royal Ulster arms, which figure in the central shield, have given rise to many ridiculous legends. Their true history is very simple. It was customary tor overy Irish and Scottish clan tn bear some characteristic avmbol on their banners. Thus the Mac Gregora bore the mountain pine, the Mao Carthys the antlercd stag, and otber clans tbe linn, tbe bear, and tbe uplifted sword. The O'Neills of Ulster, noted for their warlike ten dency, adopted as their sign, the bloody hand. Snbseanentlr wlipn the last Lord of Ulster had fled to Spain, King James made the "right hand gules" tbo coat of arms ot bis new Ulster province, and gave his shoddy barouets tbe right to bear tbe giand old sign upon tbelr shields. The coat of arras will be reproducod for the congress ball In an immense copy, meas uring 10 feet In diameter, and placed immedi ately oror the diss. .

SKKKING A KH0HTBK ItOUTE. Plllsbnrg nnil Western Kiiglnnrrs nt Work Hurvtylna n Lino-It Will Take In Ilrunol's nnd Neville Islands Connec tions With the Port Wayne and Lnlie Urlr. Engineer Patterson, with a corps of en gineers, yesterday commenced the survey of a line from the lower end ol Neville Island, that meant au ultlmato extension of the Pittsburg and Western Boad to New Castle, paralleling the Fort Wayne road. The Pittsburg and Western now hat a roundabout road to New Castle, but a shorter and more direct route to tbat city la preferred. Tbe road is also anxious to cateh the trade of the two islands, lirunot and Neville, and In addition, by building the road according to tho present plan mapped out,lt will touch both tbe Ft, Wayne and Lake Erie tracks. Short sidings can easily be built from tbo latter lines to tbe one proposed, and tbo ob ject Is to secure a transfer of freight from all tbo roads interested without breaking bulk. Largo quantities of coke and otber materials aro sblpped to New Castle and the Mahoning and Shenango Valleys now, but none of the roads aro very direct. The Pittsburg and Western Railroad already extends as far down tbe river as the peniten tiary. Tbe prospective Coraopolls and Neville's Island road will not be built, but Instead, the river branoh of the Pittsburg and Wostern will be extended by means or a bridge across Vrnnot's Island to the Lake Erie road. It will then bo run betweeu tbe Lake Erie and the river to Neville's Island, and by a bridge to a sand bar below tbo island, aud from that point will cross tbe Ft. Wayno at a grade. Tlio line will be continued Tor some distance along tbo river, paralleling the Ft. Wayne, but witi ulti mately reach New Castle. Two tbouand building lots are to be plotted at once on Neville's Island, SO of tbem baying already been sold. The island is to bo beauti fied by tbe syndicate tbat lately obtained con trol of it, and Pittsburg will thus have another and quite accessible residence suburb.

PITTSBURG DISPATCH, TRYING TO OUST NYHAN? Hearing In Ibe Allegheny Mayoralty Con. . lest An Objector Who Oenld Giro IIol man Polnu Assessors' Lisle In Four Wards Pat In Evidence. The first hearing In tho Btayton-Wyman contest, to determine the question at to which It Mayor of Allegheny, was laid be fore Commissioner John D. Sharer yesterday afternoon. Messrs, Wyman ana Stayton were present, and for the former Frank Ben nett, of Hughey Ss Bennett, appeared,, and W. J. Ilrennen took care of Mr. Btayton't Interest. The proceeding! began with a bitcb, and daring the entire session tho great Objector Hoi man might have gotten points from Mr. Rennott, who contented himself with offering objections from opening to close. As soon as tlio caso was opened, Joe Kraut rcpo.-tod tbat he had endeavored to subpoena Protbonotary Uradley and have him produce tho pollbooks, but had been unable to find blm, and that Chief Clerk Andrew Jackson Mdiuitty refused to obey any orders except those of Mr. Bradley or tho Court, An embassy was tent to treat with Mr. McQultty, and though ho appeared at Mr, Slater's bar, he was as Inflexible as bis great namesake at tho time be declared that "tbe Union must and shall be plctded," and Mr. Sbafer announced tnat no would go into court 10-aay ana get an order for the production of tho books. Mr. P. W. Slebert, Chief Clerk tn tbe County CommlsslonorV office, was put on tho stand. Ho produced tho list of names of persons who voted in tbe first four wards of Allegheny at tho Mayoralty election. Mr. Bennett objected to tbelr reception as evidence unless tbe pur poso was disclosed, and Mr. Ilrennen stated tbat It wat tbo intent to sbow tbat a large num ber of unregistered people had votod illegally. As tho lists from oacu ward wero exhibited separately, and Mr. Rennett filed his objection each tlmo and had It noted. It will suffice to dron tbat feature at tbls point. Mr. Slebert said tbe lists had been made by tbe Registry Assessors In Juno, 188D. and tbe work bad been done under bis supervision. As Mr. Slebert stated tbat the lists had been used by all political parties as data, and In tbe vote on the prohibition amendment, Mr. Ben nett again objected to tbelr acceptance as evi dence until it was proven that thoy were cor roct. He said tbe people objected to might1 have bad a right to vote. Mr. Brenneu said tbe lists must be put In evi dence In order to get tbe rlgbt to have the- bal lot boxes opened. Mr. Bennett said he noticed that the lists wore not those as originally made by tbe asses sors, as be found names on tbem written with lead pencil. The Commissioner, however, or dered tbe band to resume playing, and all tbe documents were produced and memorandum made of them, and Mr. Breanen decided to go no further until Mr. Shafer could get an order of Court on Mr. Bradley to produce the poll books. Mr. McQultty was sent for the second time, and be came and smiled comprehensively, but he didn't snbmit tbo evidence asked for. -AN IBIBH ANTIQUAEIAN To Accompany Bishop 1'hclnn on Illi Trip Across tbe Ocean.

The strike of employes of tbe National Tube Works, at MoKeesport, wst tettled yesterday. The strikers will return to work this morn ing, nnd there was great rejoicing In the borough last night, in consequence. A large and enthusiastic meeting of tho men wat held yesterday afternoon, in White's Opera House. It would have been larger, but for tbe fnctofForepaugh's circus being in town, and the show captured nearly everybody, including several thoutand ttrikert. The gathering was presided over by James Rowan, and Thomas McOinley wat Secretary. After a number of speeches on the last proposition of General Manager Converse, it was decided to take a vote ss to whether they would return to work; or stay out. The ballot wat secret, and wat Almost unanimously in favor of accepting the company's proposition. ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMFAXT. When tho result of tbe meeting wat an noenced, a committee waited upon Assistant General Manager J. T. Pierce, who wat in charge in the absence of General Manager Converse. The committee stated that the men had decided to go to work, provided it was satisfactory to the company, and allow the Arbitration Board to settle the different rates ot wages to be paid in each depart ment Mr. Pierce eaid the resnlt of the meeting was perfectly satisfactory, and tbe men conld go to work at once. He said every man's job would be there when they went lor it, and the fact that tbe men had struck would not militate against them. After the committee had departed, Mr. Pierce taid to a Dispatch representative: "The strikers have accepted onr proposition and will go to work in the morning. The old rate of wages will be paid, and if the Arbitration Committee finds that other mills are paying more than we are doing, we will advance our men, aud the advanced rate will date from the time they began work. GLAD IT IS SETTLED. "We do not think there it a pipe mill in the country paying higher wages than we are doing, but if it is lound that we are wrong Id this assertion, we will advance our men. I am glad tho matter has been settled. It Is satisfactory to tbe company as well as the men." Another general meeting of tbe employes will be held next Sunday, when the two mem bers of the Arbitration Uominlttee will be ap pointed, Tho company will pick two men, and tbo four will choose a fifth. Whllo tbe com mttteo Is Investigating the wages paid at otber mills, tho company will pay the men for their time, and will bear all expenses. Tha Arbltra tlan Coinmltleo will begin work Monday morn ing, and make a report in about one week. It is estimated that the lost to the town slnco the strike began it about tOO.OUO or $10V,OUO.

ECHOES OF THE JEANNETTE CASE. Allegations Made That Important Tesll. mony Was Exelnded. The Budget dovotes considerable spaco tbls week to the Jeannette case. I. regrets that "tbe prosocatlon did not call Paul Lllllet, wbo was to have collected tbe money advanced by the Sunderland Assembly. William Slicker, wbo swore that he did not write to the men tbe exact place at which tbey were wanted, is flat ly contradicted In the secret circular Issued by James Campbell on April 19, 1889. "Wo do not question." continues tbe Budget, "tbe perfect honesty of Judge McKennan.how. ever. The Judge held tbat an 'lnvltatlonsucb as was extended by William Slicker, did not constitute an implied contract. If this ruling holds good a manufacturer or corporation will in the future simply issuo 'invitations' instead of making contracts, expressed or implied, and then the law might as well bo repealed." Kx.Presldent James Campbell returned yes terday from Washington, whero he bad been consulting Mr. Bayno In relation to the charges made by Congressmen Bynum and Wilson last week. In referring to the rumpus, Mr. Camp bell said: '-Those men, Bynum and Wilson, act ed In a very cowardly manner In attacking mo as tbey did. when tbey knew It was Imporslble for me to defend uiysolf on the floor of tbo House. However, It showed the world at large just what kind ot stuff they wore made of." SCOTT'S MINERS RESUME TO-DAY. Tber Accept a Compromise and Plgn n Can tract for a Year.

PACT0KIE8 TO CLOSE UP JUNE 14. A Certain Percentage At Capacity to be Operated Up to That Dato. 15Ti:iIE8T TAKEN JN THE GATUEEIXO. Tbe manufacturers of window glass held a convention yesterday at the Hotel Ander son. Mr. Hart, of Mnnclc, Ind., acted as Chairman, and Mr. Lot filer, of Pittsburg, as Becrctary. In addition to the large repre sentation of manufacturers there were pres ent James H. KIce and George F. Kimball, of Chicago; Adolph Drey, of St. Louis; William Held, or Detroit, and William Glenny, of Cincinnati, representing the Window Ohm Jobbers' Association ot the West, the members of which sell probably 70 per cent of all tbe glass sold west of the Allegheny Mountains. Heretofore lack of harmony between the manufacturers and jobbers has often caused demoralization in prices, much to the loss of both, but at this meeting all parties agreed to a plan of co operation which will benefit manufacturers and jobbers alike. The action which will be the most inter esting to the workers is the agreement signed by the manufacturers to go out of blast on or before June 14, the usual time being July 1. Outside of these few facts all the glass men were very reticent Thomas D. Catlin returned to his borne last evening. He said the present prices were satisfactory and the rates were not changed. He claimed tbat tbe trade had been interfered with by the va rious strikes, but that the demand for win dow glass was still fair. Mr. Catlin is a member of the United Glass Company, and he is not inclined to favor an organization of all tbe glass manufacturers. INVITED TO JEANNETTE. Chambers & McKee have invited tbe makers to visit tbelr plant at Jeannette to-day, and they have chartered a train to take them out. ilanyof the manufacturers remained over to take in the trip. A telegram from Chicago, recoived last evening, stated that tbe meeting of window glass men here yesterday was regarded with creat interest, by dealers tn tbat city, for it will probably determine whether or not there will be an immediate cbange of prices. The Manufacturers' Association is a new one, and this annual shutdown will be made on an entirely new principle. Hereto fore wben a shutdown occurred tbe factories closed absolutely, and made no glass whatever until tbe hot montbs bad passed. Under tbe new arrnnsement If the factories do not alt close nn June leach will be permitted to run until Jnno 15, or Inter, for a cortalu percentage of its capacity. For Instance If the association decides tbat one-thtrd of the production may safely be continued until June Id each factory will operate only one-third of its pots, so tbat alt shall share alike in thn proht of running after Junel. two rinits in coNinor,. Tho schema is a novel one, and great curios ity Is expressed to see how It will work. Tho present aiinelailon, although it Includes about all the window giait men west of tlioAlloghe nlei, eonilitt practically of only two Anns, Chambers A iloKee, of 1'lttsburg, and the United OIom Company, of Byraeuie, with headquarters In UliloAgu, The latter operates 18 factories In New York, I'etinsylranla, Ohio, Indians and Illinois, having a total capacity of about 330 pals. The producing capacity of Chambers A Mc Kee Is nearly as great, The other inaniif aetur. era hare a total rapacity of about ISO pun, and, ai the rspressnlatfnii In thn association la on a bssls of prmluclnif imjmctllv, It will tin seen that whatever Chamber ,6 McKeu and the United (llnss Company say goes. The window glsi trade has never before had so compact an or ganisation. There Is somo question If, with the early shutdown, the manufacturer! will not be com. fiolletl to pay blgliar wsges to their men for he next season, Ui-1'rmlilsnt Junius Camp bell, nf the Window tllaisworkers' Associa tion, law a number nf tba manufacturers alter the meeting. A number of manufacturer ware seen last ovenlng, hut they declined to talk about the telegram recolvod from Chicago. BOBBED IN THE UNION DEPOT. An Austrian Held Up by I'lvn Men and Us llevedafStrO. Frank Hchubert. an Austrian, wat held up and robbed In tbo Union depot yesterday morn ing of tllfi. He hailed from Ia C'rosso, Wis,, whore he had mado some money, and was going home to Kurope for a visit. After bo had eaten hit breakfatt and win getting on tho train five men met him, who were alio passen gers, and they got Into a Jam at tno door. Bchubert was carrying a grip and he held it above his head. Ono of the men plsced his arm carelessly against Bcbubcrt's throat nnd held him against tbe door, whllo the others ex tracted tbo wallet from his pocket carrying tbe money. Hchubert toon discovered bis loss, but tbe men remarked after the Jam was over tbat tbey bad forgotten snmctblnc and returned to the depot wbere they disappeared. Officer Harrison was notified and searched for the moo, but no trace of tbem could be found. ' OIL BATES ADVANCED, But the Window Glass TnrlfT Will be Re duced to Ibe Pnclfic Coast. The mld-wlntor cut In oil rates to tho Pacific coast was short lived. On June 4 tbo old rate ot SI 25 will be restored. The present rate Is 90 cents. AH tbe transcontinental agents re cort large quantities nf nil and coal carbon go ing Wear. About this time of tho year tbe rates are cenerally advanced. About tbe same time, however, a reduction in rates on window glass to tbe Pacific coast will go into effect. Tne cut will be from SI 15 to 95 cents in carloads and $1 30 In less than car lots. Under tbe present tariff imported win dow glass only is sold on tbo Pacific coast. It is brought over in tbe fruit vessels as ballast at such low rates tnat the Amorican man j factnrer, shipping by rail across the continent, can't compete. This rednction will help the window glass trade materially. -,A2INEB5,S- Weakness, Indisposition to "Work; Headache, Dullness, Heaviness, Cack of Appetite, Consttnatlon, all Indicate tbat you need a few doses of tbe genuine Dr. McLane's Celebrated LIYER PILLS.

Ihowovk on iron 'and steel is not yet completed, and even If I knew what is the comparative cost of production I wouldn't bo allowed to giro it out until my report Is sent to Congress. All tbe elements tbat enter Into the manufacture of Iron and steel are considered. We analyze tbe reports of tho cost of materials, cost of labor and the cost of living. This kind of a comparison was novcr mado before, and somebody may be sur prised. We have examined tbe books ot mora than COO Iron and steel firms In America and Europe, and the figures will be correct. The goneral public, outsido of tho manufacturers, haven't any Idea what it actually costs to make a ton of iron. "No. I never havo any trouble with manu facturers. If I Und one man who Is not willing to give me Information I go to another who Is, and the figures ot representative firms aro suf nrient generally.
