MOKTOUTH'S FRIENDS WORKING
The weather yesterday was no hotter than
the political temperature in Allegheny.
Colonel Thomas M. Bayne arrived from
"Washington early in the morning. The
Colonel immediately opened headquarters at
the Hotel Central, on North Diamond street,
where there was.during all the remainder of
the day, a constant crowd of friends and
workers. George Shiras III. spent the day
at his office in Pittsburg, but his friends
also were very active and alert in Alle
gheny, and freqnent visits were made to the
law office on Diamond street.
Mr. Shiras said yesterday that the follow
ing letter, written by a prominent citizen of
Allegheny, who does not wish his name to
be known at present, was forwarded to tbe
Postmaster General:
A LETTEB IN A LETTER.
To lion. John WanamaLer, l'ostmaster General
Washington, D. C,
Dear Sik: On April 25 you Issued an order,
containing the I ollowing:
"Officeholders ... should also constantly
remember that their party friends from whom
they have received preferment have not in
Tested them with the power of arbitranly
managing their political affairs. They hare no
right, as officeholders, to dictate tbe political
action of their party associates or to throttle
freedom of action within party lines by
methods and practices which prevent every
useful and justifiable purpose or party organi
zation. The influence of tbe Federal office
holders should not be felt in the manipulation
of political primary meetings and nominating
conventions. The use by these officials of their
positions to compass their selection as dele
gates to political conventions Is indecent and
unfair, and proper regard for the proprieties
and requirements of official place will also
prevent their assuming the active conduct of
political campaigns."
In view of this recent order directing all
postmasters and postal employes to refrain
from an active participation in the selection
and determination of party nominees, I would
respectfully and earnestly call your attention
to tbe present state of affairs in the Twenty
third Congressional district of this State.
THE LOCAL SITUATION.
On May 31 primaries will be held by the Re
publican voters of this district for the purpose
of choosing their nomiuee for Congress. The
Postmaster of the city of Allegheny, the As
sistant Postmaster, the subordinates already
appointed and those assured of position, are
standing as primary delegates for the present
Congressional incumbent. In every borough
and township the postmasters are either dele
gates or have expressly and openly stated that
they are responsible for the election of dele
gates favorable to the renomination of
the incumbent, bo bitter has the feel
ing become, as tbe time for tbe pri
mary election approaches, that the party
is in serious Danger 01 disruption, simpiy
and solely by reason of Federal dictation. Per
sonal friends of Mr. Shiras, as they daily wit
ness tbe aggressive and offensive activity of
Postmaster GUI eland and bis subordinates,
are overcome with distrust In regard to the
safety and wisdom of using the postofflce f or
even the most ordinary purposes. With the
Incumbent using the postofflce as his private
headquarters, the mistrust of this so-called
public Institution is not exactly without
reason.
UNITED ON ONE POINT.
"Whatever may be the opinion of the average
Republican voter on the propriety of Federal
officeholders taking an active band in defeat
ing the rival political party, all are united upon
the gross impropriety of such officials dictating
the selection of their party nominees. Such a
course is absolutely ruinous to partv suprem
acy, and caused the loss of New York htate
by 200,000 majority, even though the nominee.
Judge Fiilger, was personally a most unexcep
tionable candidate.
A pioinpt and emphatic order from yonr de
partment can alone restore confidence and as
sure tbe voters of iho fact that tbe coming
nomination is to bo made by fair and lawful
means. Public opinion demands it and party
welfare depends upon it. Yours respectfully.
Mr. Shiras himself said vesterdav: "I
am not given to predictions, although t feel
confident ot success. I will carry a large
majority of the election districts in the city.
The contest is a severe one, because I have
the immense power of the Federal machin
ery against me."
SOME WHO AEE CANDIDATES.
Postmaster Gilleland and Assistant Post
master Clark are both candidates for Bayne
delegates in the Fifth ward, in which Mr.
Shiras lives. In Shiras' own district a
Bayne delegate is running, and, as he de
clined to draw out, a Shiras delegate was put
up in Bayne's home district, in Bellevue.
George T. Rudolph, Deputy Collector of
Interual Revenue, is another Bayne dele
gate in the Pi th ward. "William J. Mc
Donald, up for delegate in the Second ward,
is said by the Shiras people to have been
promised tbe position of Assistant United
St-ites District Attorney. W. A. Scandrctt,
recentlv appointed under Surveyor of Cus
toms Dravo, is a Bayne candidate in the
Third ward.
Colonel Bayne was so busy yesterday that
he had scarcely time to talk to an inter
viewer. He said he had been receiving
favorable reports all day, and considered his
campaign in excellent condition. He had
no doubt that he would carry the conven
tion. His arrival aud personal direction ot
the contest has certainly given bis adher
ents great confidence. The Bayne people
say that the Butchers' Association will aid
materially to de eat Shiras, claiming that
they had an issue with him when the
Chicago dressed beef bill was before the
last Legislature.
THE OKANGE CONTINGENT.
The Orange lodges of the Twentv-third
Congressional District are being worked in
opposition to Colonel Bayne There are
four lodges of Orangemen in Allegheny,
with a membership of about 300. Tne
Protestant Herald, the organ ot the order in
this city is openly opposing Colonel Bayne.
Some oi Colonel Bayne's friends claim that
the Orange opposition will bring votes to
the Congressman. In the Senatorial con
test tbe same influence is being used for Mr.
Neeb.
NOT A EIPPLE TO BE SEES.
The' Democratic County Committee Sets
the Dote for it Convention.
A Well attended meeting of tLe Demo
cratic) County Committee was held in Com
mon Council Chamber at 11:20 o'clock yes
terday forenoon. Chairman H. T. Watson
said that the object of the meeting was to
fix a time for tbe primary elections. He
announced that he had received tbe resigna
tion of P. M. Carr, Secretary of the com
mittee, aud bad appointed John Bourke to
11 tbe vacancy. A unanimous vote of
thanks was given to Mr. Carr for his ser
vices. The following resolution offered by
Henry Large, Jr., was adopted:
Kesolved, That the primaries to elect dele
gates to tbe county and legislative conventions

places. Tbe convection to meet on Thursday,
June 26. time and places to be designated by

After the adjournment of tbe County
Committee a meeting was held oi the com
mitteemen ior that part oi Allegheny
county which is in the Twenty-fourtn Con
gressional district. James E. Moran was
chosen Chairman, and Charles A. Pnrcival,
Secretary. It was resolved to hold the
primaries and the convention on the same
dates selected for tbe county primaries, the
convention to be held in Salisbury Hall,
Sonthside. There was some inquiry con
cerning the number of conferees to which
Allegbenv would be entitled, but Chairman
Morau said that must be settled by the Con
gressional convention.
THE BAYNE MASS MEETING.
A Enlly of 1,000 or the Colouel'a Friend
In Allegheny Some Shiran Men In tbo
Assemblage Speech of tho Congress
man. Although not a packed meeting by a large
majority, the Thomas M. Bayne rally, which
met at Union Pink, Allegheny, last night
was attended by more than a few of the
friends of Shiras, as evidenced by the fact
that whenever Bayne's friends made any de
monstrations of enthusiasm iu his favor the
Shiras crowd showed they could yell nearly
as long and as loud as the opposition. Much
interest was manifested in the meeting, and
some time before order was called a large
crowd convened in the street in front of the
building.
The meeting was called to order by Chair
man Thomas M. Jones, and" following a
speech by Mr. James Bradley, the hero of
the evening, Colouel Bayne was introduced
amid loud applause "I wish to speak
first of those who have asked what I have
done for my district," he said, after some
preliminary remarks. "The great bulk of
the millions ot dollars that has gone into
tbe Davis Island dam has been appropriated
since I entered Congress."
The Spe iker also referred to his personal
influence in securing the Allegheny public
building appropriation, the provision in the
river and harbor bill looking to the pur
chase of the Monongahela Company's locks.
aud his connection with other and larger
appropriations of national importance. He
waxed eloquent on the Chinese emigration
question, and amid much applause, stated
that he had always voted to exclude foreign
pauper labor which came into competition
with the American workingnien.
"The silver of tne country should be
turned into mouey," he continued, and
touched on the Federal election laws. He
made extended mention of the McKinley
tariff bill, and spoke ot it as the best measure
of its kind ever passed in Congress.
A heartv cheer was given at the close of
the speech", mingled with cries of "Shiras."
The Committee on Resolutions, Thomas
"West, James Leymon and Jerry Evans,
immediately presented an indorsement of
Colonel Bayne's cadvass, which was unani
mously adopted. At 9:30 the meeting ad
journed. S0METHIHG IN THE WIND.

Postmaster McEfean went East last even
ing, accompanied by his sistei, Miss Mollie
McKean. There is some mvsterious move
ment on foot in connection with the National
Committee. The postmaster will visit Wash
ington before he returns.
Yesterday morning Senator Quay slipped
through Pittsburg and reached his home in
Beaver withont any of the reporters seeing
him. He sent for Postmaster McKean aud
they spent the afternoon about some import
ant work to be done. Postmaster McKean
declined to state what is on the carpet.
One of the schemes of Senator Quay, so it
is claimed, is to start a Republican paper
in New Tort, with Clarkson as chief editor.
Tbe money to found tbe paper will come
from the .Republican reserve fund, which
has been accumulating far the past six
months, and now amounts to $250,000.
Frank Willing Leach devotes his time to
the work of issuing and collect
ing the famous registered certificates
bearing Lincoln's photograph, aud which
were designed by the National Committee
for the purpose of raising lunds. Senator
Qnay also has some new ideas about con
ducting tbe national conventions that will
be discussed at the coming meeting to be
held soon. He would like to see the Sergeant
at Arms of the committee, for one thing, act
in that capacity for tbe convention.

CAN'T PBODTCE THE PAPEHS.
Total DIsnppenranco of the Records
of
Lout Fall's Election.
During the Carr-Peffer contest for Coun
cil a discovery was made that has made
some people unbutton their eyes to the
greatest extent. An order on the Prothono
tary's office disclosed the fact that the
records of the election in tbe two cities held
on November 5 last were not in tbe Pro
thonotary's custody. Upou the matter
being investigated it was discovered that
they were in all probability in some junk
shop, or perhaps, by this time, ground over
and made into paper. It appears that
Superintendent Mercer acted on au order
from some source and disposed of the records
as waste paper.
This discovery has given rise to consider
able controversy, some peopie holding that
such records should not be destroyed, not at
least until the time is past when they may
be needed in an election contest, and they
further contend that they should not be de
stroyed in any event unless on au order from
couit, and there is some talk of having a J

Tbe sweet and attractive strains of music
that floated through Carnegie Hall yester

and tbe audience was charmed and de
lighted with every number on the. pro

THE
JUMPER IN HIS MIND.
Carl Freeman, a Peddler, Slashes His
Tliroat at A 1 toon a, and
EAVES OP THE DOUGLASS CRIME.
His Arrest is Ordered as a Participant in
tbe Killing.
THE 1TKEESP0RT MISTEEI DEEPENS
Carl Freeman a peddler who made a
desperate attempt to commit Buicide at Al
tocna by cutting his throat at Altoona on
the 16th instant, has been arrested lor the
murder of Miss Margaret Douglass, at Mc
Keesport, the day before. On Thursday last
Chief or Police Wier, of Altoona, tele
graphed Burgess Tilbrook, of McKecsport,
that he had a man whom be thought was
implicated in the mysterious assassination.
Mr. Wier was notified to hold the man, and
yesterday he and Detective Stains visited
McKeesport and had an interview with tbe
Burgess. .
Chief of Police Wier says that on Friday
evening, May 16, Freeman was noticed wan
dering about Altoona. He seemed to be
troubled, aud his actions were such that be
was shadowed by an officer, and when he cut
his throat, while wandering along the street,
he had hardly accomplished the deed before
tbe police were at his side.
HAVING OF A CUIME.
During the time Freeman has been in tbe
hospital he has continually talked of the
Margaret Douglass murder, and among his
remark, repeated often, were these: '"Mar--.ii
et Douglass is dead: take an ax and kill
me Miss Douglaxs, of McKoesport, is
dead, murdered and out of the way; now
kill me and let me die."-
At various times Freeman made desperate
efforts to tear the bandages off of the
wounds in his throat, so as to die,
and would have succeeded but for
careful watching. His hands were finally
muffled and he is not able to do himself
further injury, aud is slowly recovering.
He has contihuallv talked about the Doug-
.lnss murder aud wanted to die. He would
not say why he had tried to commit suicide,
but has made admissions, aside from the
above, which Detective Stains is confident
will be sufficient to show that James Ed ward
Meyers is not the murderer of Margaret
Douglass.
In Freeman's clothing was found a ticket
from McKeesport to Pittsburg, dated May
15; one from Pittsburg to Johnstown, and
one from Conemaugb to Altoona, all of
them punched and showing that he left Mc
Keesport on the evening ot tbe murder, and
was either bewildered or did it for a pur
pose when he got off the cars at points along
tbe road and walked into tbe destination oi
the tickets.
CHARGED WITH MTJKDEE.
Burgess Tilbrook, after hearing the state
ments oi the Altoona officials, proceeded to
Alderman Field's office and made the fol
lowing information against the peddler:
I, Thomas Tilbrook, believe and suspect that
Carl Freeman is a party to or is implicated in
tho murder of Margaret Douglass, which oc
curred at McKeesport on tbe 15th day of May,
im.
The officers seemed relieved when the in
formation was made. They will send Mr.
Tilbrook a photograph of Freeman at once,
and will bring him here within a week, as
he will have sufficiently recovered to travel,
when he will be given a hearing before Al
derman Field.
Burgess Tilbrook, in speaking about the
case, said yesterday:
The Altoona officers have the best of evi
dence that Freeman was here on the day of tbe
murder, and took out a license to peddle at the
City Clerk's office; that he was Iu the vicinity
of the Douglass house that morning; that he
knew Margaret Douglass and bad sold notions
to her.
THE MAJf NELLIE JONES SAW.
Freeman may be tbo man whom Nellie Jones
saw in the yard of the Douglass house on the
morning of the murder talking to Miss
Douglass, as the description suits. Freeman be
ing 5 feet 8 Inches high and spare. Bis de
scription answers that of tbe man who walked
into the saloon of Daniel Butler on Thursday,
the 15th. and remarked that he "knew all
about the Douglass murder," and immediately
disappeared. 'the also have proof that bo
was at tbe Douglass residence on tbe morning
of the murder, and purchased a ticket for
Pittsburg and left for that place on the Balti
more and umo uatiroau tuat nignt at iu
o'clock, and also that be knew the old lady was
well fixed.
Chief Weir and Detective Stains say they se
cured a great deal of corroborative evidence
while in McKeesport yesterday.
Freeman is a Polish Hebrew, 25 years old,
five feet eight inches high, of spare build and
dark complexion, with blark ejes and mus
tache, and a large nose and moutb. Wbcn be
tried to suicide be wore a dark bat, dark brown
short coat, new striped cotton pants and con
gress gaiters.
RESULT OF THE INSPECTION.
Tbe Library Commutes Ketnrns From
tbe
En st Full of Suggestions.
Ten leading libraries were visited by the
Allegheny committee on its Eastern trip.
It returned yesterday, full of suggestions
and hints in conducting a public library.
From its observations the'committee will
recommend the best features of all the insti
tutions visited for the use of the Carnegie
Library.
The "time to select, purchase, shelf-list,
catalogue and have ready for the public
10,000 volumes, will take from one to two
years. With a large force of expert assist
ants it will be possible to "open" the
library in six months; but Judge Chamber
lain, oi Boston, advises great deliberation
in the choice of bonks. The reading room
can be stocked and opened in a short tiruc
The salaries paid the women assistants in
some ol the public libraries are as low as J20
a month, and rarely higher thau $35. A
few of the chief lady librarians in New
England receive 52,000 a year. Expert
cataloguers and sheli-listers are in demand
to get the library ready for use, and soon all
will be in readiness for the reading public.
CAN'T TAX STREET RAILROADS
Controller Morrow hny ibe Chicago Idea
Cannot bo Introduced in Pittsburg.
City Controller Morrow says the Chicago
idea of taxing street railroads on their profits'
could not be iutroduced in Pittsburg, When
charters were granted hereto horse railroads
desiring to change their motive power and to
several new roads the only condition im
posed was that the companies should pave
between their tracks and one foot on 'either
side.
Mr. Morrow says that at one time there
was a tax levied on each car in use, but the
new charters abrogated that. The com
panies are not even assessed for the city
business tax.
A WRECK AT TURTLE CREEK.
Txvo Westbound Freight Trains Crash Into
Each Other. I
Two westbound freight trains on the Penn
sylvania road came to grief last evening at
Turtle Creek. One was foolish euougli to
run into the rear eud of the other train, aud
smash four empty cars. No one was injured
in the crush of matter.
All the through passenger trains were de
layed. Tbe mail train had been unfortunate
on the Harrisburg -division, and was obtof
sight when it should have been in Altoona.
A train was made up, but it encountered
the other wreck at Turtle Creek, and both
trains came sailing into the Union depot
near 11 o'clock last evening. The limited
also was an hour late.

ANOTHER
HEARING IN THE STAYTON
WYMAN CASE.
Sir. Ferguson Objects to tho Evidence ns
Irrelevant nnd Not tho Best Mr. Bren
nen Will Ask tho Court to Deliver Up
Soino of the Ballot Boxes 1,300 Ir8a
Votes Charged.
Commissioner John D. Shafer yesterday
afternoon heard .further testimony in the
contested election case of I. R. Stayton
against Mayor Wyman, of Allegheny. J.
S. Ferguson, Esq., made his appearance on
behalf of the defendant, and the line of de
fense was the' same as at the first hearing,
Mayor Wyman's counsel objecting at every
stage of the game.
All the election returns, papers, tally
sheets, registry lists and vouchers, every
record of every one of the 70 election dis
tricts of Allegheny, as asked for by Mr.
Brennen, were put in evidence. A. J. Mc
Quttty, chief clerk of the Prothouotary's
office, testified that tbey were returned to
tbe Prothonotary according to law, by the
proper officers of the several election boards,
as the official returns. .On cross-examination
by Mr. Ferguson he said he did no
know that they weie the original papers,
but tbnt those he ofiered were handed in as
the official returns, and that they were
the ones from tfhich the Court made
their count and decision. Mr. Brennen
then offered the papers of the First dis
trict of the First ward to show a discrep
ancy with a list in his possession, Mr.
Ferguson objected to the ofTentig of Mr.
Brennen, saying that the papers were not
the entire record. He averred that addi
tional papers were in the hands of the Pro
thonotary and Judges, and every paper in
any way bearing on the election must be'
produced, and finally be objected to the
matter in that it was not the best evidence.
By mutual agreement tbe entire volume of
records was taken up collectively, instead
of by districts; Mr. Brennen ottering the
whole as tbe official return, sworn to be cor
rect by the election officers, which he said he
could disprove.
ENTERED AN OBJECTION.
Mr. Ferguson objected to them in part
and as a whole on the ground of the first
objection, and, further, said that the papers
did not prove anything. He said the regis
try lists and the vouchers only showed those
qualified to vote. If any names were on it
illegally the lists wonld not so show it.
Mr. Brennen then offered a full list of tbe
First district of the First ward, showing the
names of those who had voted, but whose
names do not appear on tbe registry list, and
who had not offered the proofs required by
law to entitle them to vote. Mr. Brennen
had the lists of every district in the city
made by his direction, and asked that they be
accepted'as evidence. Mr. Ferguson objected
to all as incompetent aud irrelevant, and
that the papers already in evidence showed
the voters' list?, and were the correct legal
documents. The question of what was ad
missible and bearing on the case was then
argued by Mr. Brennen and Messrs. Fergu
son and Bennett.
Mr. Brennen said he could substantiate
bis claim that the returns exhibited by the
Pronthonotary were not correct, by an in
spection of the return sealed up in the ballot
boxes. He asked leave to present to Court
an order asking for the boxes of the First,
Second, Third and Fourth wards, by which
he could show that 1,500 illegal votes had
been cast in those wards. The master
signed his agreement to secure this evi
dence, and Monday at 10 o'clock was agreed
on for an argument on the question, Mr.
Ferguson saving that he wished to be pres
ent in court at the time to hear Mr. Bren
nen's plea.
A CIiAIM OP PRESUMPTION.
He said that Mr. Brennen had not shown
by any evidence that any illegal votes had
been cast, and it was only his presumption
that the returns as exhibited would not tally
with those in the boxes. Mr. Brennen said,
hewever, that they would show that fact, and
until he got the boxes he could go no further.
The hearing was then adjourned.
Mr. Ferguson holds that the returns ex
hibited yesterday constitute the prima facie
right of the occupant to his seat, and that
the burden of proof is on the plaintiff to
show that the votes claimed to be illegal are
so. He professed to be confident that but a
very small portion of the alleged illegal
votes are as claimed, but Mr. Brennen
smilingly stated that he knew what he was
talking about and would eventually show
it, but that he preferred to do it in the wav
he had indicated in order to facilitate the
work. The contest looks as though it would
be fought inch by inch, and take much
time.
MOKE DISTINGUISHED GUESTS.
Scotch-Irish Coming From All Farts of the
Country llcclinnlcal Hall Completed
Over S'i.OOO Yet Needed Business Olen
Looked to for tbe Cash.
The Citizens' Committee on the Scotch
Irish Congress met yesterday and heard re
ports of the Finance Committee. About
51,700 of the necessary $7,000 has been
raised, and the committee realizes the neces
sity of doing some very active work within
the next two days. They have no fears,
however, that the amount will not be
raised. H. P. Ford, George L. Haliday,
Rev. E. II. Donchoo and S. Hamilton were
appointed as a special committee to devote
to-morrow and the next day to the iron
manufacturers.
The other arrangements are about com
pleted. The headquarters of tbe officers of
the society will be at the Monongahela
Honse. The hotel will not be opened until
Wednesday, when most of the delegates will
be here. The large platform at the one end
ot Mechanical flail was completed yester
day. Back of the speaker's stand has been
placed the design showing the society's coat
of arms in colors and trimmed with tbe
thistle and shamrock and hearing appropri
ate mottoes.
Colonel Floyd, Secretary of the national
society, said last night that word had been
received from Senator Pasco, of Florida;
Attorney General Kirkpatrick, of Pennsyl
vania; Genral'Rufus Barrington, the present
oldest man in North Carolina, and several
other distinguished personages, all whom
have promised to be here to attend the con
gress. It is doubtful if at any time the
city lias ever had such a large and represen
tative body of men as will be here this
week.
Colonel Floyd also stated last night it is
the intention to issue a book alter the con
gress which will contain the proceedings of
the meeting, a history oi the Scotch-Irish of
Pittsburg aud Western Pcuiisylvania and
the names of the committees and contribu
tors who aided in uny way to make the af
fair a success. These books will be issued
atter each succeeding congtess, aud in a tew
years a competent Historical writer will be
employed to compile a complete history of
the Scotch-Irish race of America. It is ex
pected that these books, issued from year to
year, will be valuable aids in this work.
The last general meeting of the Citizens'
Committee will be held Tuesday afternoon
at i o'clock, when it is expected the com
mittees will be able to make final reports.
In the meantime if any citizens feel dis
posed to contribute funds for tbe affair, it is
desired that they send their contributions to
W. W. Itankin, Treasurer, at the Commer
cial National Bank.
A change was made yesterday in the
music. Instead of the choruses, the pupils
of the various colleges iu the city, will tur

Striking Tinners Dissatisfied With
Their Organization.
THE BOSSES GIVE THEIR STORY.
Miners and Operators Fail to Bring About a
Settlement.
BOHiDINtt TRADES COUNCIL MATTERS
Dissatisfaction has arisen among a 'few
or the journeymen tinners who went out on
strike three weeks ago. It is charged that
the strike has not been managed properly or
it would have been settled. One of the
strikers, George li. Muhler, Baid he would
resign from local Union No. 12 on this ac
count, and that more would follow him. In
speaking of the matter to a DISPATCH re
porter, Mr. Muhler sild:
"Local Union No. 12 has violated certain
rules of her constitution in this strike, and
bas dealt unfairly and selfishly with some
of her best mechanics. Some of her methods
have been of an intimidating character. In
the first place the public is not aware that
the tinners have been idle for three weeks
by reason of an order given without the
union having voted lo strike. The desireof
Local Union No. 12 is to place the inferior
mechanic on a level with the superior work
man. I was granted my advance, but am
not permitted to work because the objections
are raised against the employers for refus
ing to grant the demands of "unskilled me
chanics. MORE OP inE CHARGES.
"The union insists that all men dis
charged or suspended before May 1 must be
reinstated at the so-called minimum of
wages of 52 50 per day whether they are
worth it or not. Some of our members have
been imposed upon, and I understand that
the members ot union jno. z wouiu nue to
get rid of the Indiana emigrants, of whom I
am one, or compel them to organize an exo
dus. While I am a Hoosier, I am ready to
show the public that our union is controlled
bv emigrants from ail nations.
"I wonder it the Supreme Council of the
International Association is aware of the
manner in which affairs are being conduct
ed? 1 can assure members of Union No. 12
they need have no fear of Indiana, aud I
am sure tht when they ee the 40 first-class
mechanics from that noble State who will
be here shortly, tbey will change their
minds on emigration. In regard to the
financial affairs of the union, they have
been unfairly handled, with a view to re
tain its money in some cases, and iu others
to pay to unworthy members. The Execu
tive Committee even went so far as to ask
some of tbe needy to receive their strike
benefits as a loan, and to pay them back
after the strike. It is with some regret that
I leave the organization, but the best of the
brotherhood will go with me in time."
Mr. Mtrbler's action created quite a stir
among the other workmen yesterday and
last night. Mr. McMasters, of the union,
said in relation to Mubler's reference to the
financial affairs of tbe union that he had re
ceived.all the benefits due him, and more
too. Yesterday morning it was reported
that Muhler was sick, and his strike benefits
were sent to him.
As to the ordering of the strike Mr. Mc
Masters said a majority of the union was
present the night the action was taken, aud
that the motion to strike was passed unani
mously. Secretary Goodwin said:
THE TJUIOU 'S SIDE OP IT.
"Every member was notified to be present
the night the vote was taken, and if any
favoritism has been shown in the distribu
tion of money, Mr. Muhler must have been
a decided favorite, as he has received three
times as much as the great majority of the
members. Mr. Muhler, by his action to
day has violated his obligation. The whole
matter is so thin that any person can look
through and see beyond it a prominent mas
ter tinner looming up, who undoubtedly is
at the head of the whole scheme.
"Mr. Muhler talks of 40 men coming from
Indiana. Well, it will be no use, for they
will not be allowed to work. Our union is
all right. We paid off every man who
wanted benefits to-day, and I guess we have
enough money to make another payment or
two."
There were no new developments in the
strike yesterday. The master tinners have
appointed a committee with full power to
act in arbitrating the matter, but the tinneis
say they will not appoint any such com
mittee. THE MASTERS HAVE A TVOHD.
A committee of the master tinners called
at Tun Dispatch office last night and
stated their side of the present difficulty
with the journeymen has never been prop
erly placed beiore the public. They are
willing now, and have been all along, to
treat the men fairly and do everything in
their power to bring about an amicable set
tlement, but the men do not seem to show
the same willingness. Said one of the com
mittee: "The journeymen have gone into this
strike irregularly and contrary to the rules
governing their organization. They have
not lived up with their constitution, which
provides that when a difficulty arises be
tween members of any union and their em
ployers the members shall lay the
matter before their union and no
strike can be ordered until legal
authority has been received from the Ex
ecutive Board. It has come to a point
where something definite must be done, and
our committee, which has been given power
to settle tbe strike, will give the men until
Tuesday next to return to work, and if they
fail to do so their places will be filled by
othar men."

ANOTHER CONVENTION CALLED,
Bllners 'Fall to Secure n Settlement of the
Dead Work Scale.
The effort to come to an understanding on
a dead work scale between employers and
mine workers has failed, the committee be
ing refused a conference. Yesterday a call
was issued for another convention, as fol
lows: Pittsburg, May 24, 1890.
To the Miners, Drivers and Day Laborers of Pitts
burg District No. S:
Having failed to effect a settlement ot your
dead work scale witli the operators we deem it
necessary to call a convention in Pittsburg on
Friday, May 30, at K. of L. Hall, 101 Filth ave
nue, at 10 A. M., Ior the purpose of adopting the
best method of pmting the scale into effect.
Come Instructed as to what you propose to do.
Hugh McLaughlin, President.
James Eoyd, Secretary.
The call for the convention is due to the
failure of the conference committee to reach
a settlement on Friday, The committee
was iu session all afternoon, and adjourned
withont doing anything. The dfficultv
seems to hinge on the workmen in Scott's
mines, who were working for 78 cents per
ton.
ELECTRICIANS REFUSED.
The Bnildlnc- Trades Conncll Uns Another
Fight Over Delegates.
The regular meeting of the Building
Trades Council was held last night. Three
delegates were admitted from the Steam Gas
Fitters' and Steam Tilers' Helpers' Union
No. 23, one from Carpenters' and Joiners'
Union No. 185, of Sharpsburg, and one from
tbe rod Carriers International Uniou No.
1. There was another fight over the admis
sion of delegates and the representatives of
the electricians union were refused. The
delegates claimed they wired houses and
were consequently connected with the build
ing trades, but they were defeated because
motor men antl engineers are also members
of their union.
Resolutions were passed denouncing the
reported proposition on the part of the mas
ter tinners to import non-union men to take
the place of the local strikers, and pledging
the building trades to refuse to work on any
building where non-union men are em
ployed. A GLASS HOUSE CLOSED DOWN.
Not for Want of Orders, bnt on Account of
tbe Workmen.
Abel, Smith & Co.'s glasshouse on the
Southside shut down yesterday, and will
not resume until September 1. For the past
ten days or two weeks there have been from
three to five spare pots in the factory. Yes
terday Mr. Smith made a tour of the fac
tory and discovered six spare pots. He or
dered the factory to be closed at once.
In speaking of the matter last night, Mr.
Smith said: "We had orders- enough to
keep us running until Julv, and had in
tended to run till the general shutdown,
June 15, but for several days we have been
short of men. Some of our workmen have
been drinking too much lately, and it was
impossible to keep a full force at work. I
want the public to know why we closed
down, and it was simply because onr men
were either incompetent or were 'laying
down' on us."
GOMPERS IS PLEASED.
President of tho Federation Satisfied With
tbe Elebt-IIour movement.
President Samuel Gompers, of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor, passed through
the city yesterday on his way to Beaver
Falls, where he addressed a meeting of
workmen last night. He called at the office
of the Amalgamated Association to see Sec
retary Martin, but the latter was absent,
being in Philadelphia at a meeting of the
Inter-State 'Revenue Commission.
Mr. Gompers aaid he was very well
pleased with the progress made so far in the
effort to secure shorter boors, and he feels
the movement is destined to be a success.
DETECTIVE AND ATTORNEY.
They Fight a nd Enter Cross Salts for Assault
nnd Battery.
L. K. Porter, Esq., was the attorney in
tbe speak-easy case against Samuel French
before Magistrate Gripp at tbe Central
station yesterday. French's bond was for
feited for non-appearance and another in
formation made against him. Mr. Porter
met Detective Coulson on the street, and
after a rather lively discussion Porter pulled
Coulson's nose, and tbe latter retaliated by
knocking Porter down and arresting him
for disorderly conduct. Mr. Porter secured
bail and was released.
Mr. Porter entered suit against Detective
Coulson ior assault and battery, and the
latter has brought a cross-suit of a similar
character. The Safety Department officials
will take no action in the matter, bnt allow
it to be settled in the regular course of law.
LIGHTNING IN C0RA0P0LIS.

While Friday evening's storm spent its
main force in the East End, wind and hail
adding to its terrors, somo electricity was
left over for diffusion west of the city. The
residence of Mr. W. F. Boss, in Coraopolis,
was struck by lightning and somewhat
knocked out of shape. None of the family
were in the kitchen at the time, and all
escaped injury.
An adolescent Newfoundland dog, how
ever, was not so fortunate. His nerves
were so badly shaken that he was still in a
pitiable state yesterday. All kinds of
nervine were administered,but still the pnrp
cowered and whined piteously all day, and
it was feared that he would never rally from
the fright.

IMPOSSIBLE NO MORE.
A .Goitre Removed by Local Surgeons
From the Neck of a Woman,
THE PATIENT FOLLY RECOVERED.
First Operation of the Kind Performed in
Western Pennsylvania.
TAB 2EW ANTISLPTIC METHOD USED
A week ago yesterday nine physicians
gathered in the office of Dr. JB. Dickson,
Penn avenue, to assist in and witness an
operation which, if successful, wonld revo
lutionize one branch of surgery in this sec
tion and would carry hope to the hearts 'of
many afflicted beiues. The operation was
that of removing a goitre.
Nearly everyone has a friend or has seen
persons who were afflicted with these un
sightly excrescenses, which could not be
hid, and though not of necessity fatal or
painful, are like crosses to carry around.
They are an enlargement of the thyroid
gland of the neck, constantly increasing in
size, until they often grow to weigh as much
as eight pounds, and by their growth sap
the system of the person until life is misery
personified.
No one is exempt from these ugly growths,
but women, lor some cause unknown to
scientists,are most subject to them. Again,
they are most common in Switzerland and
some parts of Italy, and on people who are
natives of these countries.
Up to a short time ago it was considered
impossible to remove goiters, and the books
on surgery have denounced an attempt as
nusaie and out ol tne power oi tne surgeon
to accomplish.
FIRST KT THIS VICINITT.
Within the past few years the operation
has been successfully performed in the East
and in London, but never tried in Western
Pennsylvania, but the surgeons of Pittsburg,
ever known to be on tbe alert for new truths
in their profession, were not to be left be
hind, and proposed demonstrating that one
more supposed impossibility in surgery
could be safely accomplished.
Mrs. E. J. Pntchett, living at the head
of South Tweuty-second street, ws the sub
ject. She bad been afflicted with a goitre
since she was 14 years old, now being about
60. She had tried iu every way to remove
it, and spent hundreds ot dollars, and at
last submitted to the operation, without
fear. Dr. Alan F. Gentry took charge of
the operation, and Drs. Hartmeyer, of Alle
gheny, and Buchanan, of this city, assisted
him. Dr. Dickson had hurt his thumb and
would not take part. Tbe other doctors
stood by and watched the operation.
Mrs. Prichett was'first put under the in
fluence of anesthetics. An incision was
then made, about four inches long, the
length of the goitre, and the excrescence
was removed. It weighed i pounds, and
was hard and about tbe consistency of liver.
In the operation 40 arteries and veins were
tied, antiseptic methods being used, and the
same course followed as outlined by those
who had before peformed the feat.
The operation lasted one hour and 35
minutes, and at the end of that time Mrs.
Pritchett was taken home.
THANKFUL FOE BELIEF.
Last night it had been just a week since
she was freed from the enlarged gland. She
was found by a Dispatch reporter, sitting
in a chair and feeling very well. All dan
ger has passed. She does not court pub
licity, but nevertheless felt so thankful
to be relieved of her "cross" that,
when questioned, she could not refrain
from giving the information desired. Her
nec was again its normal size, aud, since
the operation, her temperature has not been
over 100J, or her pulse over 100. She feels
very well, and with no evil effects except the
soreness that was expected. The cut made
will not leave a bad scar.
.Mrs. Pritchett said she had been able to
cover the goitre pretty well, but of late it
had affected her nerves and was supping her
system of its proper nourishment, and if al- 1
lowed to remain wonld bave grown larger
constantly. She had no thoughts of dying
from the operation, and says her strong will
kept her up.
The whole success of the operation is due
largely to the new antiseptic methods of
surgery and the ligaturing of all vessels be
fore being cut. Not over three ounces of
blood were lost by the patient.
