CRUSADED TO
DbATH
Bidding the Mrst District of
tlie Speak-Easy Eyil.
M'ALEESE'S LENGTHY LIST.
All Illegal Liquor Shops Closed by
Summary Conviction.
MAKING I5IG MONEY FOR THE CITI
Chief J. O. Brown, ot the Department of
Public Safety, took a stroll through the
lower portion of the city yesterday Jafter
noon. "When asked if he had seen any evi
dences of speak-casies, he replied:
"No, I have not. They appear to be
pretty well cleaned out. This probablyac
counts ior the quiet Sunday we are having.
It is now nearly 5 o'clock and there is but
one prisoner in the Central Station."
The calm and holy hush which character
ized the day in the heart of Pittsburg is at
tributed to the speak-easy crusade con
ducted by Inspector McAleese, of the Pirst
Police district, which embraces the first 13
wards of the city. The Inspector yesterday
completed his report on the subject for pres
entation to Chief Brown, and it contains
some rather startling information, especially
when taken in connection with some of the
returns made by ward constables to the
county courts. The report embraces a
period of 24 days, commencing on May 1
and ending at midnight Saturday. In that
time 1,415 arrests for all manner of offenses
have been made in the First district, 443
being victims of the speak-easy war.
SOME BIO FIGURES.
The Inspector, in his report, states that
be has made informations agunst 203 per
sons for keeping disorderly houses, that is,
places where liquor is illegally sold, and
162 of the proprietors have been arrested,
pleaded guilty and punished. The number
of visitors arrested in these places was 28L
Forty-one warrants against proprietors have
not yet been served, owing to the Jact that
many of the persons wanted have left the
city, while others have bocome alarmed and
are in hiding.
The speak-easy proprietors arrested were,
with a very few exceptions, nned 5100 and
costs. The visitors generally got off with
$1 and costs, but in cases where the House
was a notorious one or the person arrested
was of bad character, the fine was increased
or the prisoner sent to tbe workhouse for a
term. The total revenue to the city from
speak-easy cases in the Pint district up to
date amounts to 57,081 30, and will probably
reach 510,000 belore the Inspector finishes
the work. Magistrate Gripp collected
52.990 from disorderly honse proprietors and
5T70 SO from visitors, and Magistrate Mc
Kenna collected 51,96'J 60 from proprietors
and 51.361 20 from visitors.
Mr. McAleese says he has his district
pretty well cleaned up, especially when the
lact is considered that "the crusade was
actually entered upon only last Monday.
"While he has already made 203 informa
tions, he expects to issue 100 more iu the
next ten days. Of the 43 persons against
whom warrants nre out, the Inspector ex
pects to capture two-thirds this week.
HF.TTEli TAKE THE HIST.
In speaking of the crusade, Mr. McAleese
said that tbe arrest of persons lound visiting
spcak-easies and fining them next day
would do as much to close up tbe business
as the prosecution of the proprietors them
selves. He said also that if any of the par
ties wno have already been convicted, plead
guilty ami nned, return to the business he
will rearrest them and take their cases to
court, using their plea of cjuilty as evidence
jainst them. "When they come up ior
trial the Court can sentence them considera
bly heavier than a Police Magistrate for
illegal liquor selling.
The work in tbe first police district in
suppressing illegal liquor houses the In
spector has found to be very difficult, but he
is satisfied that he cau 'comply with the
Chiefs order and have them all closed up
by June 1. In this connection the Inspector
compliments the police magistrates aud
officers of the district for their zealous co
operation aud assistance. The Inspector
himself has been worked very bard, and
has had little time for sleep and less for
meals.
The lists which follow show the names

NOVEL CAEEIAGE WHKK'fl.
Local Company llusy Making Them From
Cold Rolled hi eel.
A new thing in the line of carriage wheels
has been patented by George H. Ererson, of
this city. They are made from cold rolled
steel. The spokes arc tubular, and are ad
justable. Tiic wheel is put together in such
a manner that any part of it can be replaced
without taking off the tire or felloe. Tho
wheels are lighter, yet many times stronger,
than the ordinary wooden wheels, nnd natu
rally are not affected by wet or dry weather.
A company has been formed and the
wheels arc being manufactured in Alle
gheny. The company is known as the
Itolled Steel Carriage "Wheel Company.
The capacity of the works are about GO sets
per day, but it is the intention to increase
the plant many times the present size, so .is
to be able to furpish a good portion of the
10,000,000 carriage and bugcy wheel made
in this country every vear.
In this connection the company makes a
cold rolled steel tube, from ope'n hearth,
Bessemer or crucible steel, intended to tako
the place of brass, coppec or tin tubes ior
chandelier work, railings and curtain rods.
Tbe tubes are rolled by a process which
gives them various superior qualities in in
creased strength both tensile and com
pressive. Wanted to bo Well Dressed.
Harry Parker, aged 18, was arrested at

THE
HHNTIM6 A HUSBAND.
A Western Girl Fears She Has Been
Deceived by a Pittsburg Man.
SHE IS UHABLE TO FIND HIM,
After Searching in the Two Cities, But She,
Hasn't Given Up.
THE SEQUEL TO A SHORT COURTSHIP
Last Thursday comely girl, apparently
about 22 years ot .age, registered at the
Seventh Avenue Hotel from Portland, Ore.
Her name then was Mrs. E. S. "Williams,
but her experience hera in search of her
husband since she came has been such that
last evening she wasn't sure whether she
had a name or not. The story is not a long
one, but the young lady is alraid she has
been married to a man who sailed under
false colors. Yesterday a prominent
local detective called on her, nnd she
says he told her that he knew the
man to whom she was married, and he had
to leave Pittsburg about three years ago for
something he had done. The girl, however,
has not lost all hope, and thinks it possible
that some mistake has been made, thoagb
there are some circumstances, as she tells
her story, that fill her mind with doubts.
STOKT OP THE FAIR STRANGER.
Mrs. "Williams' maiden name was Jones,
and her parents live in PL Dodge. la. -Last
summer she received an invitation from a
trieud, a married lady in Portland, asking
her to visit at her home for a year. Among
other things she spoke or a'nice young man
from Pittsburg, who was morning at her
house. He was so jolly and bright that the
friend felt sure that between them all they
could have a good time. He was a con
tractor bv trade. She went to Portland last
July, and in September following they were
married. The lady admits now it was rather
sudden, but she had reason to believe that
everything was all right.
Her husband told her that he was heir
to considerable property in Pittsburg, but
he was so situated that it was necessary to
keep the marriage a secret for awhile belore
1 1.1 & . rpk. .:!. itMn't lib... tlta
arrangement, but he claimed that his
brothers here had some peculiar influence
over him. She replied that she didn't want
any of the money, and advised him to cut
loose from his brothers; that he was smart
enough to paddle his own canoe, and could
easily go into business for himself. Her
father also couldn't see why the marriage
should be kept a secret from his folks, and
he protested.
HADE HIH NERVOUS.
One day last April Mr. Williams re
ceived a telegram and $100 Irom his brother
here to come home. Mrs. Williams, in con
tinuing her story said: "I told him I would
remain in Portland until he returned, but
he said he wouldn't go unless I went to my
home in Iowa. I refused at first, and he
paced up and down all that day as if he
was worried about something. I finally
consented, and we started. Since he has
been in the East he has been traveling for
bis brother in Ohio," and the girl showed a
number of letters received from him from
Steubenville, Findlay and other places.
At TJhrichsville he writes that he was
sick with neuralgia, and this would proba
bly be the last letter she would leceive irom
him. He said he had made his will and
given everything to her. The Pittsburg
brother was telegraphed for and he came
the next day. But be recovered, and he
finally agreed that she should come here
June 1. Mrs. Williams said she was very
anxious to be settled before the hot weather
commenced.
But she thought it would be a nice thing
to agreeably surprise her 'husband, and so
she came toPittsburg last Thursday. She
had been writing letters to him, and they
were received at a lock box in the Alle
gheny postofficc She wrote him a note say
ing she was here, and to make the surprise
more complete she got the clerk to address
the letter for her. But Mrs. Williams
hasn't yet seen her husband.
THE LETTER NOT CALLED FOR.
"I thought it was strange," she said, in
telling her story. "Finally 1 went over to
Allegheny and found that such a man had
been receiving mail at that box. The letter
I wrote was still there, and the postmaster
told me that Mr. Williams bad called for
his mail within a week. I then remem
bered that my husband had once written to
his brother in Pittsburg, but had never sent
the letter. Fortunately I found it, nnd it
was addressed to a certain lock box. I went
to the postmaster and discovered that the
box was rented to a man bearing another
name." The lady gave the name, which is
that of f. well-known business man iu the
city.
Continuing she said: "This aroused my
suspicions, and after some trouble I found
his place of business. He had given the
wrong address at the postoflice. Entering
the store I met two clerks and asked them
if E. S. Williams traveled for the firm.
They told me that no such man
worked ior them. At the mention
of the name Williams, a man
came out of a small office, and
in the most ungentlemanly manner de
manded who I was and where I came from.
He had no such man working (or him, and
it was none of his business. He so closely
resembled my husband that I am sure he is
the broUier. "When I said I was from Port
land he winced and got red in the face, nnd
used most abusive language to me. His
manner convinced me that he knew all
about our marriage, and I assured him that
I was not alone, and would find out where
Mr. Williams was. ,
ANXIODS TO TACE HIM.
"I would like to see him face to face to
hear what he can say for himself. It may
be possible that I have been too hasty, but
there are so many suspicious circumstances.
At times, when I think I have been de
ceived, I become very angry, and then I
feel like breaking down. I have telegraphed
to my parents in Iowa, and am waiting lor
their advice. I hardly know what to do,
and the whole aQair puts me in a very un
pleasant position. My father is a man of
ticiv temper, nnd when he hears about it he
will fairly r.tve."
The young girl told her story in a
straightforward manner, and those who
heard her were convinced that she told the
truth. She js intclligciit,verypreposscssing
in form nnd appearance nod speaks of her
troubles in a quiet, digulficd way. She is
afflicted with heart disease, and" is afraid
that the, consequent worry may
make her ill. She was surprised
to recpive a visit from a detective, and
wondered how he learned who she was.
Subsequently it was discovered that the de
tective had told another that he had been
sent to see her by -a man on a certain street.
The street is the one on which the supposed
brother's place of business is located.
OFFERS OF HELP.
The slory of the girl ii believed at the
hotel, and several gentlemen who heard if
offered to help her to secure her rights:
The name of E. S. Williams' does not ap
pear in tbe city directory, and nobody seems
to know the individual." The younc,
lady has a tintype of her hus
band that was taken in Oregon. It
is not a good one. and she says he is better
looking than the picture represents him.
She had two cabinet photographs of him
that were better, but he took these with
him, and she now regards this circumstance
even as rather suspicious. Last evening the
letters were still lying in the Allegheny
lockbox.

PITTSBURG DISPATCH?
DEFENDING HIS CHMCH.
A County Mayo Clergyman day Catholicity
la Not Opposed to Ftrloilmni. Views
or Secret Societies nnd gomo of Their
Objects.
Bcv. Daniel J. McLaughlin, a Catholic
clergyman from Clifden, County Mayo,
Ireland, lectured last night in Hibernian
Hall, Wylie avenue, on the question, "Is
Catholicity Opposed to Patriotism?" The
reverend gentleman answered, that so far
from being inimical to true patriotism,
Catholicity rather fostered and 'encouraged
it. Patriotism did not mean siding with
the majority, and the consequent rulers of a
nation, on a matter liable to result in evil.
If a man believes any measure favored by a
Government to be a bad measure, he has
a right to vote and speak
against is, ana nis aomg so
is real patriotism honest love for
his country. If he sided with tho" ruling
powers against his convictions, he would be
a traitor to his country's interests. The
claim that Catholics give their obedience to
the Pope, and not to the Government, was a
false one. Catholics held that their Pontiff
was infallible when speaking ex cathedra
that was to say on matters of faith and
morals. In civil matters the Pope had no
control over Catholic opinion. The right of
every man to vote as he chose had always
been upheld by the Catholic Church; and
the Catholics had suffered long and griev
ously in Ireland, Poland, La Vendee and
scores of other places, for their very inde
pendence of opinion.
The statement of Catholic hostility to
patriotism, said the speaker, was a mere
election cry. Because Catholics refused to
join secret societies they were very unpopu
lar in manycountrics. Men joined these so
cieties, not on the broad principles of fra
ternity which they claimed, but purely for
their own gain and advancement. Conse
quently they felt humiliated when they be
held men too right-minded to yield to such
considerations. If these Eocieths were
purely beneficiary, why were they secret?
Were their members too modest to publish
their good deeds? Hardly. There was some
other object for the secrecy, and unfortu
nately, Catholics bad plenty of reason to
think that that object was not to the benefit
ot the church of the apostles.
In conclusion the speaker pointed out
that true-hearted patriots had been most
frequently found among Catholics, in
Catholic couutries. Poland, Hungary and
Ireland had each their Kosciuskos, their
Kossuths and their O'Connells. America,
above all, had no cause to complain of the
patriotism of her Irish sons and foster sons.
Their swords werfi ready to strike in her
cause when occasion called for them. There
were plenty ot carpet knights abroad now
adays who ranted about what they would do
for their country, but the Catholics of
America were not content with saying what
the future might produce. They pointed to
the glorious past.
MARRIED IK CHICAGO.
MIsi Llzzlo Wleclna Deplore tho Fact of
FIcnrlntT In IhoNewspaper.
Miss Lizzie Wiggins, of this city, and B.
S. Dalzell, of Chicago, were united in mar
riage Thursday in the Windy City. The
ceremony was performed by Kev. George C.
Lorimer, of the Immanuel Baptist Church,
and was the closing act oi a sensational
drama. Miss Wiggins left this city on
Tuesday last, with the intention of meeting
Mr. Dalzell in Chicago and marrying him.
The match was opposed by her friends, but
the girl had a mind of her own, and deter
mined to marry anyhow. It is said her
mother wanted the marriage to come off in
this city, but other relatives objected, and
to avoid any unpleasantness, she went to
Chicago.where the ceremony was performed.
The objections were on account of the
groom, whom the objectors did not like.
One of the Chicago papers, in writing up
the affair had the young lady interviewed.
The young lady "deplored the fact that the
matter had been made public She said she
had never figured in the newspapers before,
and looked upon it as a disgrace. The latter
statement formed the basis for an editorial
in another Chicago paper, which says: "It
reminds us of the peculiar ethics of tbe
Chinese, who consider it no sin to lie or
steal, but fe'cl terribly disgraced and dis
honored at being found out. The diflerence
in effect between nineteenth century civili
zation andthe oriental sophistry of centuries
upon certain mentalities is not so great after
all."
STRUCK BY A CABLE CAR.
A Few Accidents of Minor Importanco In
the Two Cities.
Miss Martha O'Brien, a young lady who
lives on Pride steeet, made a very narrow
escape being seriously hurt yesterday after
noon by a cable car on the Filth avenue
line, at Gist street. She was walking out
the avenue and when at the above named
street started across the avenue. An east
bound car struck her in the face and
knocked her about 10 feet to the side of the
track. She was picked up and carried in
an unconscious condition into a house near
by, where it was found she had no bones
broken, but her face and body were badly
bruised. She was removed to her home in a
carriage.
Frank Coyle, who had his right leg broken

tated. Poker In n Dnrbcr bbnp.

VERT MUCH PUT OUT.
District Master Workman Evans
Stirred Dp Over the Action
OF PLEASANT VALLEY DIRECTORS.
Her
Feature Introduced in Accident
Insurance Easiness.
H0BE HONEI WANTED TO MAKE ICE
Master Workman Evans, of D. A. 3,
Knights of Labor, is not satisfied with tbe
action of the directors of the Pleasant Val
ley electric lines in refusing to take action
on the communication sent to the board by
the discharged employes of the company.
In speaking of the matter yesterday Mr.
Evans said he could not understand why he
could not have common courtesy shown to
him. "The President of the company has
refused to recognize me," said he, "and the
board virtually ignored the communication
of employes who worked with them until
they got their road in operation, and then,
because the men dared to exercise their
rights as American citizens, they were dis
charged." The following is a copy of tbe letter sent
to the board by the discharged conductors
and motormen:
"WHAT MET "WANT TO KNOW.
Pittsburg, May 12. 1890.
To the Board of Directors or the Federal Street
and rieasant Valley l'assenger Ballway Com
pany: Gentlemen Wo. the undersigned, respect
fully present to you the followlna tacts:
While In your employ wo joined a labor
organization known as tho Knights of Labor.
On Monday, April 28. 18SK), tho President, Mr.
V. F. Henry, discharged us, assigning as his
reason for so doing our connection with the
organization.
We respectfully ask you if this Is a sufficient
excuse for the discharge of men who have been
admitted by your officials to be In all cases
worthy and competent workmen, who are law
abiding citizens, and whether it is not an
abridgement of the rights ot an American
citizen.
Two or three days after the meeting of the
board the men were notified that their com
munication was "received and filed." Mr.
Evans says he knows of two members of the
board who were not present at the meeting.
"The meeting was not held on the regular
day," said he, "but a week later. There
were two members of the board absent from
the city, nnd I know one director who
should not have allowed thaUetter to be
filed without taking some action on it. I
tried, to act fairly with the company, and
did not propose to do anything unreason
able. The men who have been discharged
do not want to get back on the road. All
bnt one of them have secured work; but I
want to show Mr. Heurv that he can be
compelled to recognize our organization. I
think pnblic sentiment is with the men,
and against such abrupt aud arbitrary ac
tions." WON'T LET IT-DBOP.
Mr. Evans did not say what his next step
would be, but asserted positively that he
will not let the matter drop yet. The new
assembly, composed of the road's employes,
met early yesterday morning and initiated
several new members. One of the dis
charged employes said to a DISPATCH re
porter yesterday: "Has it occurred to you
that the Pleasant Valley Company never
had an accident until after we were dis
charged, and since then they have had
three, two of which were fatal. It is the
result of green men. The company dis
charges men for the most trifling matters,
and is employing new men all the time."
IK A COmUnTEE'S HANDS.
Tho Electricians May Nat bo Admitted to the
Trade Council.
Tbe Electricians' Union held a meeting at
101 Fifth avenue yesterday, and received a
committee from the Building Trades Coun
cil, in reference to the matter of refusing
the union's delegates admission to the
Council Saturday evening. The electricians
claimed that because they are employed at
wiring houses they should be allowed rep
resentation iu theBuilding Trades Council.
The committee will report the result of
yesterday's meeting at the next meeting of
tbe Council, but it is not likely the electri
cians will be admitted.
TO INSURE ELEVATORS.
A Company Organized to Protect Employes
Against Accident.
Something new in the line of insurance
has been established. A company has been
formed for the purpose of insuring elevators
against accidents. If employes are injured
in a warehouse or other building by an ele
vator accident the company steps between
the injured person and the owner of the
elevator and pays an amount according to
the nature of the injury.
The company doing the business is located
in Detroit, Mich., bnt qnite a large number
of elevators have already been insured.
WILL INCREASE THEIR STOCK.

of the Chautauqua Lake Ice Company that
a special meeting will be held on Thursday,
July 17, at the office of the company, for
the purpose of voting for or against an in

It is said the erection of the artificial ice
plant has necessitated this step.

DEVOID OF HDM0R.
The Department or Pnblic Safety Sternly
Prohibit a Number of Minor Nuisance
Hoopsklrts, Banana Skins and Bon.
Are Most Go.
The Department of Public Safety is sadly
deficient in that keen sense of fun which
allows the average ettizen to bbar an abuse
with patience, provided he can see in it
the slightest semblance of a joke. Chief
Browu has attempted to dam tbe gushing
fountain oi American humor, and in doing
so shields himself behind a neatly-framed
circular, bearing the ominous title of "Ex
tracts from laws and ordinances relating
to streets, alleys, highways, etc., in the
City of Pittsburg." This circular will be
hung in every station house in Jbe city for
the information of officers, who will then go
out and remove the nnisances which have
for ages furnished incentives for some of the
finest efforts of American litterateurs.
One of these extracts forbids the throwing
into tbe street of broken crockery and glass,
tin, iron or hoopskirts. Why the 'hoop
skirt is brought into such prominence while
the bustle goes unscathed, is not known,
unless it is doneto starve out the picturesque
and odorous goat which, according to the
illustrated articles on natural history pub
lished in the humorous newspapers, derives
its chief sustenance from hoopskirts and
tomato cans, the sagacious animal eating
chcus bills merely as desert. But no goat
has yet been lound brave enough to attempt
the mastication of a bustle.
The banana peel, tbe original dull-thnd-der,
is legally enjoined Irom lying in wait
for the unwary pedestrian. A gloom will
fall over the postoflice corner loafers when
they learn that no longer will they be al
lowed to witness the invigorating spectacle
of a stout citizen tobogganing down the
"Hump," breathing fire and striking sparks
as he goes.
A prohibition which will extract the ex
citement from political campaigns so far as
the small boy is concerned, is one against
bonfires in the street. This also applies to
people who dump the contents of their cel
lars in the road, set fire to the mass and fill
the neighborhood with smoke and a bad
smell. The boys ore also prohibited from
flying kites in the street, and decorated tel
egraph wires will now go out of fashion.
One of the paragraphs brings to light
the fact that there is an ordinance providing
that CO cents is the limit for hack or omni
bus fare for one person between any points
within the first 12 wards. A penalty of 55 is
to be imposed upon the hackman who ovsr
charges. Penalties are also provided for dumping
coal or cordwood upon the sidewalk it
must be placed at the edge of the street; in
juring shade trees, leaving horses unhitched
or hitching them them to shade trees, shoe
ing horses, oxen, etc., on the streets, driv
ing wagons,with the wheels locked and put
ting up projecting signs.
The Department of Pnblic Safety is de
termined to vigorously enforce these ordi
nances. ' A HOME OP ITS OWN.
Tbe Randall Clab Secure a Building for a
Fine Clabnouie.
The committee appointed to purchase a
clubhouse for tbe Bandall Club reported at
a meeting of the club last night that it had
concluded negotiations with the McCauiey
heirs for the transfer of the family mansion,
corner Fifth street and Duquesne way. The
amount paid for the property was $25,000,
and $10,000 more will be expended in im
provements. The grounds surrounding the
house will undergo extensive alterations,
the committee having the matter in hand in
tending to erect a conservatory in the rear
of the premises, and an elevated platform
for concerts. A large fountain will be put
up in front of the house.
The interior improvements will be very
extensive. It is tbe intention to erect a
building in the rear for dramatic perform
ances, which will be a new featnre in con
nection with tbe club's weekly socials. The
seating capacity in the .theater will be
about 400. The club will have such attrac
tions as other social clubs have been bring
ing to this city, and lectures by prominent
Democratic orators.
A MIDNIGHT CRASH.
How Two Couple Deserted a Wrecked
Hnck In Allegheny.
Two unknown men, accompanied by as
many young women, applied at A. M.
Hocksweender's Fifth avenue livery stable
for a hack, Saturday night, and started on a
drive through Pittsburg and Allegheny.
The party were not heard from afterward
until at the corner of Federal street and Mont
gomery avenue, Allegheny, the rig suddenly
broke down with a crash, the rear wheels
parting company with the rest of the hack,
and a general smashup ensuing all round.
It was 4 o'clock in the morning when the
broken-up rig was found by Officer Steele,
but the hack occupants had faded out of
sight.
The policeman led the horses to a tele
graph pole on East Diamond street, where
he hitched them, and telepboned for the
owner. How the hack came to break down,
and why the parties deserted tbe wreck, is a
mystery.
TAKING TJP PETER'S PENCE.
Pentecost Celebrated In All tho Catholic
Chnrche Yesterday.
In all the Catholic churches throughout
the diocese yesterday a collection was taken
up for His Holiness, Pope Leo XIII. This
was done in accordance with the circular
from Itt. Itev. Bishop Phelan, showing the
necessity of such a collection. Quite a sum
was realized in all the churches.
Yesterday was celebrated in. all the
Catholic churches as the Feast of Pente
cost, or Whitsuntide. It is a solemn feast
in memory and honor of the coming of the
Holy Ghost noon the beads of the apostles
in tongues, as it were, of fire. Pentecost in
Greek signifies "the fiftieth," and the feast
is held on the fiftieth day after the resur
rection. It is also called Whitsunday,
from the Catechumens, who were clothed in
white and admitted on the eve of this feast
to the sacrament of baptism. Saturday
will be a fast day of obligation.
A FISHERMAN'S FIND.
He Ilunl Ont an Iron K' Loaded With an
Exploitive.
John Jeffrey, while fishing for driftwood
in the Allegheny river at the foot of Forty
ninth street yesterday afternoon, fished out
a small sheet iron barrel. It was rolled out
on to the river bank and word sent to Cap
tain Brophy.
The Captain found the keg marked
"Home Powder Company, Sedgwick, W.
Pa." He did not attempt to trifle with the
keg, and is now looking for an expert who
can tell whether it contains powder or nitro
glycerine. Oppoard to Sunday Arrest.
After midnight between Saturday and
Sunday, William Trunslcr and Edward
Sloan, young men, quarreled on Thitty
sixth street, and Trunsler was cut three
times in the neck. His wounds are not
dangerous. Tbe police searched all of yes
terday for Sloan withoutavail. Last even
ing he sent word by a friend that he would
appear this morning at the Seventeenth
ward station house. He objected to being
arrested on Sunday.

THE STATE CONTEST.
flow the Republican Delegates From
Fifty Counties Stand.
SENATOR DELAMATEB 15 THE LEAD
Ho Seems to Have About One-Third of the
Men Chosen Thu3 Far.
THOSE UHIKSTRUCTED HOLD THE KEI
Forty-four of the C7 counties in Pennsyl
vania liave held their conventions and
elected delegates to the Republican State
Convention, which will meet in Harrisburg
four weeks from next Wednesday. In six
of the counties the primaries were held on
"Saturday and the conventions will be held
to-day or to-morrow.
No living man knows how all the dele
gates thus far elected will vote for Governor,
even on the first ballot. It is doubtless true
that a goodly number of these delegates do
not themselves know how they will vote.
In many of the counties, however, the dele
gates have been instructed either by express
resolutions or by what is considered a bind
ing preference vote of their county con
ventions. In other counties the delegates
ran as representatives of special Guberna
torial candidates and arc thus pledged, bv
their own action, to vote for those candi
dates. In one county, Berks, two contesting
delegations of five members each have been
elected by split conventions. The five men
on the one hand favor Senator Delamater:
the five on the other hand are for General
Hastings, Major Mon tooth or Secretary
Stone.
WHAT IS EXPECTED.
It is generally expected by those who are
interested actively in the campaign that, if
the organization of the State Convention is
controlled by the field or the anti-Delamater
forces, the Delamater delegation from Berks
county will be permitted to occupy seats in
the spectators' gallery.
a Senator Delamater has secured more posi
tive delegates than any other candidate.-He
has the following either instructed or
pledged for him: Armstrong, 2; Cambria, 2;
Clarion, 2; Crawford, 3; Elk, 1; Erie, 3;
Franklin, 2; Fulton, 1; Lackawanna, 4;
Lawrence, 2; Mercer, 3; Schuylkill, 4; Ve
nango, 2; Wayne, 2; total, 33. In addition to
these 2 of the 3 delegates from Delaware, 1
from Luzerne, 3 from Northampton, 1 from
Potter and 2 from Wayne are strongly
claimed for Delamater, making his maxi
mum strength at this time 42.
The delegates instructed or pledged to
Adjutant General Hastings are: Blair, 2;
Center. 2; Clearfield, 2; Clinton, 1; Juniata,
1; Jliffln, 1; Snyder, 1; Union, 1, and York,
4 in all, 15. Besides these the Hastings
workers claim very positively 1 in Carbon,
1 in Delaware and 2 in Schuylkill. Two of
the Schuylkill delegates have declared that
they will not vote ior Delamater, but fur
ther than that have made no positive an
nouncement. CLAIMED BT AXIi OF THEM.
The Hastings people also claim the six
delegates from Lancaster county, but those
votes are being claimed by nearly all the
candidates. u.ne delegation has been elected
in the interest of E. K. Martin, a candidate
for Lieutenant Governor, and will vote for
Uovernor in the best manner to serve him.
In some other counties delegates have been
elected for both Hastings and Martin, while
Delamater and Watres go together.
Secretary of tbe Commonwealth Stone
has secured the delegates from the following
counties: Bedford 2, Cameron 1, McEean 2,
Montour 1, Northumberland 2 and Warren
1 in all 9. Tbe two delegates from Adams
are credited to Stone, and he will, probably
secure the two from Butler county. Major
Montooth has the three delegates from Le
high county and tbe one from- Greene. His
friends claim others in, uninstrncted delega
tions, but are averse to giving "pointers" to
the opposition. Bradford's 3 delegates
are instructed for Lieutenant Governor
Davies, Luzerne's 6 out of 5 ior Con
gressman Osborne, and Lycoming's 3
for Congressman McCormick.
The 17 counties which have not yet voted
will elect 91 delegates. Of that number
Philadelphia and Allegheny counties will
choose 55. Of the Philadelphia delegates 30
will be for Hastings, and Allegheny's 16
will be for Montooth. The rjee is now an
interesting one.
SUNDAY TEMPERANCE MEETINGS.
Tho Moorhend W. C, T. U. and the S. of T.
Hold Interesting Services.
The Moorhead W. C. T. TJ. meeting was
conducted by Mrs. Hammett lost night. The
audience was addressed by Mrs. Jones and
the choir lurnished some excellent music.
Next Sunday afternoon the National Silver
Lake Quartet will give two sacred concerts
in the hall of this union at Second avenue
and Grant street.
Tbe Sons of Temperance held their usual
meeting at 68 Ohio street, Allegheny, last
night with oneof the best audiences that has
assembled there daring the present series of
meetings. There were addresses by J. W.
Moreland, E. S. Johnstone, Mr. Swoger and
others.

DRY SUNDAY FOR THE HILL
Soathdde Ward Cm Oat of a Water Sup
ply by n Break la the Main Incline
Stopped for the Day A New Main Pat
Down.
The bursting of a water main oa th )
Southside yesterday morning between 6 and I
7 o'clock caused a vexatious inconvenience '
to the residents of MU Washington, '
Duquesne Heights, Allentown and Arllng- '
ton Heights. The water supply in the hill '
wards of the Southside is drawn from a tank
on the line of the Thirty-first and Thirty
second wards, into which the water i
pumped from the Monongahela Water Com
pany's reservoir at the foot of South Twenty-eighth
street It was this main that gava
out yesterday and created a water famine
along the hill top.
Tbe break was in the eastern side of tha
Allentown tank, and when the pipe gava
out the water ran out in the absence of
gate to prevent it. The break was discovered
immediately by the people who lived near
the point where it occurred by the sudden
appearance of an enormous volume of
water pouring out all- around them. The
water company employes began to work at
the leak at once, bnt when the people in
those districts that are supplied with water
by the tank awoke from their Sunday morn
ing slumbers it was to find that their hy
drants had gone on a strike.
Several hours had gone by before it be
came generally known that a serious break
in the supply main had taken place and
that another to replace it could not be laid
before night. In the .meantime a lively
skirmish began to locate and use tho water
in all available wells. These were found in
comfortable numbers and everyone felt
pleased that the trouble was not so very bad
after all. This opinion was revised at a
later hour in the day, when the
various inclines, with the single ex
ception of the Mt. Oliver, posted
a card on the doors of their stations notify
ing patrons that "This incline stopped for
want of water," meaning practically that he
or she who walked down the hill would bo
compelled to walk up'again.
A new pipe was laid in place of the
broken one and the water turned on shortly
before midnight The Mount Oliver In
cline Company was able to rua their cars,
because they have a large private cistern
from which they derive their supply for
steam purposes.
