ONE OFJVERY FIVE,
Estimated Strength of Scotch
Irish in America
CLAIMS OF DB. MACINTOSH.
Delegates Gathering for the Congress
Here To-morrow
THE PEESIDENT SURE TO COME.
Among the first ol the leading Scotch
Irishmen to arrive in the city yesterday for
the congress was Dr. J. S, Macintosh, the
noted Philadelphia divine. He is one of
the most enthusiastic workers in the ranks
of the Scotch-Irish Society, and he thinks
his race has been contented to do too Ion;,
and it is about time that his people throw
off some of their inherent modesty and talk
of their achievements.
The doctor is chairman of the State soci
ety, and a member of the Executive Com
mittee of the national organization. He
put no at the Monongahela House, and
was busy all day, Arranging details and
reading a pile of letters that had accumu
lated. A short meeting of the Executive
Committee will be held this morning, and
he was planning for that This meeting
will be private, and various business reports
of the work done in the last year will be
read.
PROUD OF HIS RACE.
"With all his work, though, the gray-haired
veteran never misses a chance to chat about
his people. He is proud of his race, and
probably no man has investigated so
thoroughly the origin of the Scotch-Irish,
. or traced their migrations into other coun
tries. Their achievements in various lines
have been wonderful. Said the Doctor
yesterday:
"Since I was here last I have been travel
ing through the South, along the Atlantic,
and through some of the Gulf and Middle
States, stirring up the Scotch-Irish people.
I was surprised to find in every place a
large representation of prominent people
ot Scotch-Irish ancestry and affiliation.
The statement may appear to be too strong,
but I am convinced that one out of everv
five of the 50.000,000 people iu the United
States in 1880 is of Scotch-Irish origin or
affiliation. In talking with Secretary
Blaine some time ago he asked me how many
Scotch-Irish I thought were in America,
and this was the answer I gave him. He
said that from what he knew of the people
of the United States he thought I was right.
"My work through the South was quite
satisfactory, and considerable interest was
manifested br the people. Some State so
cieties have been organized, and tbe organ
ization in California shows what can be
done."
THEIR METHODS ABE QUIET.
Mr. Boseleld, in his "Winnings of the
"West," shows to what an extent the Scotch
Irish have scattered over the country.
Their methods are quiet, but the indomita
ble will displayed by the race has carried
them often beyond the advance lines of civ
ilization, into the wilderness.
Dr. Macintosh claims the Scotch-Irish
were among the pioneer settlers of the "West.
He is proud of the Scotch-Irish poets, diplo
mats, orators, statesmen, and commercial
and church men who have figured in the
world's history.
The specific programme for the congress
has not yet been arranged. Congressman
W. C. P. Breckenridge, however, will de
liver his oration on "Scotch-Irish Statesmen
and Statesmanship," to-morrow evening.
The convention will open to-morrow. The
programme will be announced from day to
day.
CITIZENS COMMITTEE DISSOLVES.

tbe arrangements for the congress, met yes
terday and completed their work and then

bell and his staff to Pittsburg Friday even
ing over the Cleveland and Pittsburg Bail

AN AM0SKEAG bQUlRT.
Sir. So fiord Tells Whnt nn Engine Should
Cost and What It Onght to do Another
Whack nt n Mnch.Tnlked-of Cose The
Krlilencc Adduced.
Master George P. Hamilton aired tbe
Amoskeag engine purchase by the city of
Pittsburg yesterday. The evidence taken
certainly had the meritof being understand
able without much mental effort.
Controller Morrow testified that the city's
Indebtedness in 1889 was 513,203,251 62. The
net debt over money in the sinking fund.
etc, was $10,454,265 75. The valuation upon
which the last tax was levied was 5181,000,
000. The appraisement was made in Jan
nary, 1889. At that time the consti
tutional limit ot the city's indebted
ness was very nearly reached. The
condition of the city appropriations in
February. 18S9, showed a large deficit, S57.
829 32. No warrant had ever been r-sned for
tbe payment t tbo last two Amoskeag engines
purchased by the city.
A. F. Saffnrd was next called, and stated that
he was familiar with tbe various engines manu
factured. No otber engine made would an
swer tbo specifications in tbe advertisements
inserted by tbe city of Pittsbnrg. wben it asked
for bids for engines. None of tbo otber com
panies could bid without deviating from its
present style or engines. The specifications in
tbo advertisement practically specified the
Amoskeag engine, as it is, and nn otber. En
gines are sized Dy tbeir capacity An extra first
class oneine weighs noarly 8,500 pound, and
should pump 11.000 gallons of w iter per minute
from a tank or receptacle. The ruling prices
for an extra nrst-clas engine, at tbe time these
engines Mere secured, was $5,550, first-clats
$4,500. and 5300 difference betneeu tbe other
classes. Tbe price paid for the last engine
purchased by Pittsburg previous to 1SS9, which
was third-class, of a high grade finish, was
M,irO, and tbe same class of engine was sold to
Hyde Park, a suburb of Chicago, for J3.600.
and to some eastern cities for the same price.
Washington, D. C. bad purchased a second
size Amoskeag engine for $125 more than Pitts
burg paid. a few weeks later, for a third size
engine, with a capacity of 100 gallons less. The
differeuce in the card price of an extra and a
first-class engine was HM.
This closed tbe plaintiffs case, and City At
toraey Moreland stated that the defense would
be ready to begin its work in two weeks.

CAN IMAGINE NO TROUBLE.
Mr. BUI Says the Reorganization of tbe P..
A. fc M. Rand Will be Made.
George B. Hill said yesterday tbat be didn't
know of any trouble or difference of opinion
that existed between the stockholders of the
Pittsbnrg, Allegheny and Manchester road.
He said ho was not opposed to Messrs. Byers
and Gwinner, and he felt snre tbey were not
angry because they are not In the syndicate. A
meeting of the Pittsburg. Allegheny and Man
chester stockholders will be held to-day. Mr.
Hill couldn't say what tho object of the meet
ing was, bnt it had been called at tbe request
of Commodore Kountz.
Mr. Hill hasn't any donbt that tbe two
empanies will be merged with nut any diffi
culty. All the stockholder! will be Influential
to tho extent of tbeir holdings, and their votes
will count in tbat degree. "I don't know of
any law," continued Mr. Hill, "to prevent a
majority of stockholders from going ahead and
reorganizing a company, though I am not
enough of a lawyer to be suro about it. Since
the syndicate was organized it has appreciated
tbe stock of the P., A. & M. road, and also pro
tected the company in a number of ways. The
stock used to sell at 100, and now it brings 300.
"The plan is to have the new company oner
ate the P., A. & M. road, or it is practically a
merger of tbe two companies. I don't know
that any trouble exists, and was surprised to
hear of it. I am opposed to none of the stock
holders. The man who bas one share in the
old company will hold eight in the uew one,
under the reorganization."

sues a General Order
ABOUT THOSE PECULIAR QUERIES.
If They ire Not Answered, a Plain State
ment to That Effect
MAI B MADE BY THE JBNUMEEATOBS
j
There has been a general protest, made J
evident in the press, against a number of
questions which .the United States Census
Bureau has directed its enumerators to ask
of the people. The protest has been directed
against questions relating to the bodily and
financial infirmities ot the people, which
have been, by many, considered inquis
itorial beyond tbe rig:tful prerogatives of a
republican government. The DISPATCH
has given voice to these complaints at some
length, without expressing its, opinion as to
their justice. The lion, as it may safely be-
called, seems to have reached Mr. Porter, at
Washington, lor the following order, only
one day old, was yesterday received by
Supervisor Oliver, of the Allegheny dis
trict: "Department op the Interior,")
"CeksiUS Office. -
"WA8BIXOTON, D. C, Maj 26, 189a J
"You will please instruct enumerators, iu
cases where persons refuse to answer tbe ques
tions on the population schedule relating to
physical and mental disabilities (22 and 2S),or
the questions relating to farms, houses and
mortgages (26 to 30, Inclusive), to enter In the
proper column tbe words, 'Refused to answer.'
No further steps will bo necessary on the part
of the supervisor or enumerator, and all legal
proceedings will be instituted by the Washing
ton office through the Department of Justice.
"Verv reiDectfullv.
"Robert P. Porter.
"Superintendent of Census."
Supervisor Oliver was not prepared to give
any interpretation of this order. He knew
only tbat it removes a great deal of worry
and responsibility from him. He is not in a
position to say whether it means that the Gov
ernment will compel answers to tbe objection
able questions, or whether the subjects cov
ered by the queries will be allowed to go by de
fault. Only Superintendent Porter could an
swer that.
A gentleman who bas been in tbe census
business said: "The order indicates to me
that the Government may insist on answers.
For some to reply and others to refuse would
make the resulting statistics totally valueless.
Had tbe Government meant not to demand
complete returns in those lines of inquiry, the
supervisors would havo been instructed to
strike the seven questions out altogether. Be
cause that has not been done, 1 think tbe in
tention is to push the matter. However, the
order may mean that tho bureau will wait un
til the returns come in, and tben, considering
tbe number of answers and thenumberof re
fusals, decide upon its action."
An identical order was sent by tbe superin
tendent of the bureau to each census super
visor in the United States.
LOOKS LIKE BUSINESS.
AlTin Joalyn Hat Elaborate Plans tor His
Pittsbnrg Theater.
"Alvln Joslyn,'' Charles L. Davis, who will
build a theater in Pittsburg, was in tbe city
yesterday, examining the plans of bis house
with Mr. Reid, of Evansvllle, of the firm of
Reld Bros., architects. Alrin was found in the
Anderson, and tne architect exhibited the
plans to the reporter. If they are carried ont
as designed, there will be few finer theaters in
America. The stage will be 55x95 feet, and
will be provided with 29 dressing rooms for
the actors. AH these rooms will be located
on the first floor. There will be three tiers in
the bouse, and Joslyn claims tbat tbe ladies'
parlor, on tbe ground floor, will cost him S15.00O
to furnish. He declares he will pnt S200.C00
into the honse. While here Mr. Reid will ex
amine tbe building materials, and they will de
cide afterward what to use. The ladies' parlor
will be furnished in tbe olden style. There
will be smoking rooms for tbe men, a large
promenade and an extensive foyer. Tbe house
will be 100x200 feet in dimensions.
One of tbo strongest and leading features is
tbe number of exits provided. There will be
70 in all, opening all around the building. Mr.
Davis says he has reserved 30 feet of clear space
on each side of tbe strnctnre, so that the peo
ple can get out in case of fire. He will begin
work next April, and tbe house will be flnifhed
in the fall of 1S31. He exhibited a number of
contracts made with good people, who will play
in the bouse, and ho says that nothing bnt the
finest and best will appear on tbe stage. He
call tho house the Lyceum Theater of Pitts
burg. J. M. Hyde will be the General Manager
and Charles Gordon Treasurer.

PITTSBURG DISPATCH, -
DEATH OP BISHOP O'CONNOR.
The Eminent Divine's Demise Occnr nt
Omahn Short Sketch of on Evenlfnl
Life-nil Good Work Among ibe In
dlana or Nebraska.
A telegram was received from Omaha yes
terday announcing the death of Et. Kev.
Bishop O'Connor, of the diocese of Omaha,
The apnouncement will no doubt cause a
profound feeling of sorrow among the many
friends of the Bishop in this city, for he
cultivated the friendship and respect of not
only the Catholics of Pittsburg, hut of every
person with whom he came in contact.
James O'Connor was born September 10 1823.
in Queenstown, County Cork, Ireland. At the
age of 15 be emigrated to America and took up
his studies incidental to entering the ministry
at St. Borromseum Seminary, near Philadel
phia, wbich was then under the rectorship of
Father Michael O'Connor, a brother of the do
ceased, who was the first BishOD of Pirr.h,,,.,.
In 1812 he went to Rome and entered St. Ur
ban's College, where he completed his studies,
and in 1845 was ordained a priest. Two years
later he again returned to thisountry and
came to Pittsburg. He was K missionary m
this diocese for seyen years, and was then ap
pointed chaplain of St Xavier's Academy
Westmoreland county, and while acting In that
ii'i;iiy ue esMiunsupu me nrsc catholic
church in tbe county. In 1857 he was appointed
rector of St. Michael's Seminary, at Gleuwood.
which he enlarged and put it in the first rank.
Shortly afterward be sent his resignation
as rector of this seminary to Pope Pius IX.
which was accepted. He then entered the or
der of tho Jesuits, in which he intended to re
main the rest of his life, but he was assigned to
tho charge of St. Dommcus congregation, at
Holmesburg. N, Y, He built up his congrega
tion at this point in a wonderful manner and
was then appointed by Pope Pius, Apostolic
Vicar of N ebraska, to succeed Bishop James
O'Gorman, who died while acting as Vicar.
He did not at first desire the position, but was
prevailed upon to aecerrt-it, at the argent re
quest of the Pope, and August 20. 1870. he was
created Bishop bv Cardinal Mct'Ioskey, at
Philadelphia. In 1S85 thodioceso of Omaha
was included in tbe Holy See. and James
O'Connor was appointed Bishop of tho new
diocese. The great good ho accompllsued
among the Indian tribes of Nebraska will en
dear him to tbe memory of tbe savages, who,
when about to take any decisive steps toward
organizing new colonies or perfecting settle
ments would always seek the advice of the
Bishop. They placed great reliance upon him,
and all questions pertaining to the welfare of
tbe various tribes would be left for the Bishop
to decide. Throughout Nebraska he founded
many institutions of learning, churches and
orphan asylums.
Amid his religious pursuits, the Reverend
Bishop found time to practice bis literary
taste, he contributed regularly to a number of
tbe Catholic papers, and as an orator he was
conceded by all as one of the ablest in the
priesthood.

WANT HIGHER WAGES
The Boiler Makers Will Meet To
night to Ask for an Advance.
TINNERS ARE RETURNING TO WORK
Colored Hotel Waiters Meet and Discuss
Their Grievances.
THE AMALGAMATED WAGE COMMITTEE
A special open meeting of all boiler
makers employed in Allegheny county has
been called for this evening, to be held in
the hall of I.. A. 0681, Tilth avenne. The
purpose of the meeting is to. formulate a de
mand for an advance m wages, to which the
men claim they are entitled. All boiler
makers are invited to attend, without re
gard to whether they are members of the
Knights of Labor or not.
There are several hundred boilerraakers
employed in the city, and the majority of
them are paid $2 50 per day. There U a de
partment of the work, that of riveting, that
requires great skill, and it is claimed good
workmen in this 'branch, as well as in some
others, are exceedingly scarce Trade Is good,
and skilled work are. hard to And. Tbe men say
they are not paid tbe wages in Pittsburg tbat
similar workmen in other cities get, and they
propose to get union and non-union men to
agree on a demand, and present it at once.
Some time ago, when the annual meeting of
tho manufacturers, to he held in New York,
shortly, was announced. It was said tbat one of
tho matters to be considered there was a re
duction In the men's wages. James Munro
denied this, saying that so far as he was con
cerned be favored an increase in wages, but
that it was not within the province of tbe asso
ciation to which he belonged, to deal in any
manner, with the wage question. However,
what Mr. Munro said, seems to have stirred the
men up. and they are determined now to find
out bow many of the manufacturers are ot the
same mind as Mr. Munro, in favoring an ad
vance. The wages paid In Pittsburg vary from those
paid elsewhere, and the men will make an ef
fort to have a uniform rate established all over
the country. Tbe meeting to-night is expected
to be a large one.
WHETHEB UNION OB NOT.
Abont Fifty Tinner Returned to Work at
tbeOld Wages Yesterday.
Whether they were from tbe ranks of tbe
strikers or not, there wero no less than 50 tin
ners went to work yesterday. Of these, 14 went
to work for Thomas W. Irwin, 8 for Rasner &
Dinger, i for Lacock & Hawthorne, 2 for Steg
gert d; Bros, and 7 for Keighley & Co. Some of
tbe master tinners claimed tbey were their old
employes, but tbe officials of Local Union No.
12 denied that there were more than five of
tbeir men at work.
Mr. Rasner, of Rasner & Dinger, said they
had eight at work, but be declined for the pres
ent to say whether bis men had been witb bim
before tbe strike or not.' Most of .Irwin's men
worked nn the Wilmerdlng job yesterday.
One of Keighley's men went to work on tbe
Dalzell building .yesterday, and Agent Suarlz,
of the Buildirg Trades, ordered tho stone
masons and bricklayers out nntil the man was
taken away. The master tinners say they have
made a fair offer to tbe men, but the latter de
cline to accept, and sav there is no use for the
masters to put non-union men on work.because
the otber trades will not work with them.
CONSIDERING THEIR PLANS.

Their Demands.

ing last night to consider the plan by which

A Well-Known Blnslclan Receive nn Ele
gant Everett Piano oa Clnb Certificate
No. 303.
Mrs. C. C. McCord, nee Sadie Smytbe, is
the fortunate member of the Everett Piano
Club this week and received a magnificent
Upright Grand piano with privilege of pay
ments as low as $1 per week. Mrs. McCord
has been identified with musical matters iu
these cities as a popular soprano, and in
selecting a piano sought for one with that
sustained singing quality of tone which is so
delightful to a singer wben used to accom
pany the voice. Being perfectly familiar
with the leading pianos sold in this vicinity,
she selected the Everett as tbe best, and not
Deing in a nurry lor ber piano, concluded to
join the club and pay SI per week for a
while. She now has her piano and is not
obliged to pay any laster. The club plan is
a great success. Purchasers can pay $1 per
week and get tbeir pianos in a short lime,
or can take them at any time for cash, or on
payments as low as $25' cash and 10 month
ly in either case. They get the piano $75
less than it can be sold by retail dealers.
The clnb showrooms are packed with beau
tiful pianos in great variety of woods and
designs. Piano purchasers should call and
see them or send lor circular to the mana

A rOUNG MAN'S FATE.
P. Wilson Cunninsham Ponnd Dead
in His Hotel Room, Where
HE HAD LAIN FOR TWO DATS.
Paralysis of tho ileart tho Immediate
Cause of Bis Death.
BLAMED TO THE FATAL CIGARETTE
F. Wilson Cunningham, 25 years old, a
son of D. O. Cunningham, the glass manu
facturer, was found dead in his room at the
St. Charles Hotel, at about 10 o'clock yes-
terday forenoon. He had not been seen
since Sunday, at the latest, and when his
door was found locked for two days in suc
cession, a man looked over tht , transom.
The young man lay upon the bed. He had
been dead for at least two days, and tbe
body was greatly swollen. It was removed
to the morgne.
In addition to tbe usual articles and
trinkets in a young man's room, Deputy
Coroner Berry found a large number of
bottles and empty cigarette boxes. One of
the bottles was marked poison, but the
druggist from whom the bbttle was bought
said that the liquid was intended as an ex
ternal application. In tbe room was found
a partly written letter dated May 24.
LIVED A LIFE OP EASE.
The young man not long ago inherited
several thousand dollars from his mother,
and has since led a luxurious life of ease.
He had been boarding at the St. Charles lor
about a year. He was used to sleep during
the greater part of the day and go out at
night. His room was sometimes locked for
two or three days, at a time, when he would
be ont ol the house, and even if he had been
in hjs room he might have remained there
undisturbed. However, when his door was
found locked for two days in snecession a pe
culiar, disagreeable smell was emitted from it,
which decided the hotel people to investigate.
There was a general belief at first that the
young man bad committed suicide, but others
who knew him thought he must have died a
natural death. They knew that he was in good
circumstances financially, and even had bis
own inheritance been wasted, his father was
abundantly able to provide. It was for this
reason that Dr. J. Guy McCandless was di
rected by Deputy Coroner Berrv to make an
after-death examination.
PABALYSIS OF THE IIEABT.
The doctor made this inquiry at the morgue,
and afterward said: '"The immediate cause of
death was paralysis of tbe heart. Apparently
death bad been caused by something taken in
the stomach, but I was unable to discover what
that might be, and, of course, could not say
whether it was taken Intentionally or not. I
should say, from tbe examination ot the body,
tbat death bad occurred at least 4S hours be
fore I saw the corpe."
Some of tbe young man's friends think that
death resulted troin tbe excessive nse of cigar
ettes, bnt there are many other theories.
Alter the examination tbe bodv was removed,
at the request ot the family, to tbe undertak
ing house of H. Sampson, on Sixth avenue,
where it was prepared for burial. A brother
called and looked at the body there. Tbe fu
neral services will be beld at 10 o'clock this
forenoon at the undertaking rooms.
