SHORT TALKS CAUGHT ON THE FLT
Governor Beaver arrived in the city yes
terday morning to attend the Scotch-Irish
Convention, and immediately repaired to
the Monongahela Honse, where he was as
signed to room 11. He passed the day
pleasantly, chatting with callers who
dropped in at all times to pay their re
spects. The Governor met a number of the
Scotch-Irish representatives who had never
Been him before, and from their remarks,
particularly those from the South and West,
the executive of the Keystone State made
quite a lavorable impression.
In the forenoon, Governor Beaver made
the opening address at the convention, in
behall of the State, and after dinner was
found by a representative of The Dis
patch in his room reading the history of
the Johnstown flood, published in this paper
yesterday. The Governor was asked for his
opinion in regard to the Gubernatorial out
look. He talked freely about the question,
but, with considerable will, managed to
evade anything like a direct expression. To
the question of who would likely be his suc
cessor, Governor Beaver said:
KOT THINKING ABOUT IT.
"I have not given the matter any thought"
(with a far-away look in his eyes, as his
gaxe wandering across the Monongahela
river and rested on a speak-easy "joboat")
"I have been so busy that I could not form
an intelligent opinion. Major Montooth is
a strong candidate. Xes, my Adjutant
General seems to be doing considerable
work, and Mr. Delamater and theothers are
likewise out hustling for delegates. Major
Montooth is well thought of by the people
of this end of the State, and will get the
Allegheny county delegation solid, no
doubt Of course, he will have to have a
great many outside delegates, but as to ex
pressing an opinion as to how many he will
get, I will have to decline. The primaries
will be the means of telling the people about
how many votes each candidate may expect.
"I do not know anything about the
'original package' business. I am one of
those fellows who always believe in living
-up to the doings of the courts. If the Su
preme Court says the business is all right,
then I say go ahead with it. Mind you, I
do not say that the people who have al
ready engaged in the business are not vio
lating the law. All I know about the mat
ter is what I have learned from the news
papers. 1 have not had time to examine a
copy of the decision, and until I do I could
hardly be expected to express an opinion on
the subject. "What good would it do, any
way? If the courts say it is all right, it's
the duty of the people to adopt the decision
as handed down, and say nothing about it.
AS HE LOOKS AT IT.
"The case of Mr. Silverman, of Leech
burg, to my mind, seems to be a violation of
the law. If the matter was reported cor
rectly, he was acting as au agent or retailer
of a brewing firm in Ohio. The law says
liquors can be shipped lrom one State into
another, and sold in the packages in which
they were shipped, but it does not give any
one the right to conduct a wholesale busi
ness in Ohio and a retail business in Penn
sylvania, without having a license for the
latter."
"What do you think of Henry Hall's
chances for the Speakership?" was asked.
"Mr. Hall is an excellent fellow, a capable
man, and would, no doubt, make a good
presiding officer. However, there are sev
eral things in his way. He must first be
nominated, then elected, and the Legislature
must be in his favor to elect him Speaker.
"5Tes, we closed up two orphan schools
this week, one at White Hall and the other
at Mount Jov. If the youngest pupil now
in the schools sticks out" bis lime, the schools
will be abolished by limitation in ten years.
There are over 1,000 children now in the
schools, and about 250 will go out this year.
At this rate there will be few left in five or
six years."
Governor Beaver will leave for Altoona
this morning to preside at a memorial meet
ing held by the old soldiers of that place.
HEW WAY TO MAKE ICE.
A Cblcaco DInn'a New 8clirroe to Artifi
cially Freeze Water.
Mr. J. O. Perry passing through the Union
depot last eveninc, en route for Now York.
Mr. Perry carried with him appliances which,
when patented, may revolutionize the ice busi
ness. He was at first somewhat loth to be in
terviewed, but finally consented to explain the
object of his jonrney. He is from Chicago,
and has discovered a means of glacifyine water.
In his gripsack be earned a number of small
tin cans, each containing about one
1onnd of a chemical compound, the
ngredients of which he positively
declined to particularize. The contents
of these cans, says the inventor, when thrown
Into 12 cubic feet of water, will glacify every
particle of the liquid. Pure water is. of course,
better fitted for the change, but no matter bow
impure it may be. it can be frozen bv the mm-
?ound which Mr. Perry has carried to New
ork.
Needless to say," remarked Mr. Perry,
"this little invention will prove a blow to the
big ice companies. When I can in an hour or
thereabouts, turn 12 feet of water into a con
crete body of ice, where will these companies
ber
Mr. Perry has for some time bepn agent for
a big Chicago ice machine firm. He has made
glacification his study, and the described In
vention is the result of long years or study. J.
C Culver and O. Lafflin, of New York, to
gether with a number of other well-known
metropolitans, are interested in Mr. Perry's
scheme, and if their examination of his
glacifying compound prove satisfactory, they
will form a company to give it to the world.
LEATHER-BELT BUSINESS GOOD.
Mnnhall Jewell's Brother Won't Talk Much
on Politics
Phineas Jewell, of Hartford, Conn., is at the
Duquesne. Mr. Jewell is a brother of Marshall
Jewell, ex-Governor bf Connecticut. He is a
big leather-belt man, and declares that his
business is booming.
Mr. Jewell would not talk politics, but spoke
enthusiastically of Pittsburg. He is here on
business connected with his trade.
Gains Around the World for Priori.
Mr. and Mrs. W. Douglas Ward, of London.
.England, are at the Hotel Schlosser. Mr.
Ward is "a great broad-shouldered Enclisb
man," who is, as he himself puts it "going
'round the world for sport." He has seen all
our local lions, and a parodied a famous saying
yesterday in declaring "If I wasn't a Cock
ney I should like to be a Pittsburger."
MARINE BAUD'S PROGRAMME.
Railroad! Will Slake a Dollar Rate
nnd
Give flip JIoncT to Iho Hospital.
Mr. Soussa, leader or the Marine National
Band, has notified the committee having in
charge the entertainment for the benefit of
West Pcnn Hopital. that he will be here with
46 pieces and five vocalists. Mr. Soussa prom
ises an unexceptionally One programme, and
there is little doubt the capacity of Mechanical
Hall will be taxed.
The committee is anxious to have the public
thoroughly understand the arrangements made
with the railroads. All of the ten roads center
ing in Pittsburg have agreed to transport all
passengers desiring to come to this city at the
time within a radius of 60 miles for SI for the
round trip, including admission to the military

stated that there were only two persons aboard.

NO LACE OF LIQU0B.
Better Facilities for the Lower South
side and Hilltop Wards
rSOillSED BT THE WATER COMPAKI
A Twenty-Inch Main Will ba, Pnt Down on
the Dills Stxt Month.
THE TANKAGE ALSO TO BE INCREASED
It will be good news to the Southside hill
residents to learn that in a very short time
the possibility of another water famine,
now hanging over them like a specter will
be obviated, and they will have plenty of
water should a pipe burst, and more than
plenty at other times. For some time past
the Monongahela Water Company has been
working on plans to increase the Southside
water supply at all points necessary, and
give its general system of pipes an over
hauling. The immense growth in popula
tion on the hill has prompted it to make its,
first improvements in that section, and they
will be sweeping.
The main that now supplies the hill from
the hill pumping station at the head of
Twenty-second street is a ten-inch one,
which has heretofore served the whole hill.
Now the company intends to put down a
20-inch main over the same route, from the
pumping station to the reservoir in
AUentown. This will give two mains
and increase the capacity nearly five-Cold.
The contract for the pipe has already
been let, and the contract for putting
it down will toon be given out, and work
commenced laying the new main some time
next month.
TASKAGE TO BE IK CREASED.
The tankage capacity at AUentown will
be proportionately increased, by a series of
small tanks, so that should anything happen to
one, the others will still be ready to fall back
upon. The system will be generally extended
through Mr. Washington and Duquesne
Heights, and with the Increased volume, all
possibility of another scarcity in the West
En a will be remedied.
After the 20-inch main is laid, the company
will put down a 30-inch main from its new
pumping station to the reservoir at the head of
Twenty-second street which supplies the lower
Southside, and from which the water is
pumped to tbo AUentown tanks. This will give
an increased capacity for supplying the lower
ooumsiae also, xne pumpingcapacuy at eacn
station has been increased, and when the im
provements are finished the whole Southside
will have as good a supply of water as any sec
tion of the city, if not better.
WILL BE NEEDED SOME TIME.
Such a big increase will not be needed for
some time, bnt in putting down the 20-inch
main the company is looking ont for the future
growth on the hill. Should the population in
crease as it has in the past two years, the 20
inch main will be none too large in a few years.
On the lower Sonthside the system of pipes
will be gradually extended and increased as fast
as the necessity is pointed out so tbat every
section will bo suoplied with an abundance of
water for ordinary use. and in time of great
need all that is wanted. The water in the bill
tanks will have plenty of time to settle, and the
reservoir at Twenty-second street will be en
larged later, or another added, so as to give
theSoutbsideaspure water as possible.
The Improvements contemplated by the com
pany will cost over $100,000, and that sum will
be increased with the extension and perfecting
of the system, of which the plans are not yet
completed.

GOING WITH THE BISHOP.
4 Congenial Compnnvto Sail on tbe Alaska
Plans of Bishop Phelnn Upon His Re
turnSome Speculation as to St. Peter's
Pnstornte.
Eer. Father O'Reilly, pastor of Latrobe,
will accompany Bishop Pneian s party to
Ireland. The Bishop intends to leave Pitts
burg on Sunday, and will sail from New
York on the Alaska, early Tuesday morn
ing. He will be accompanied by Father
O'Reilly, Father Nolan, of McKeesport; Very
Rev. N. Murphy, the well-known Irish arch
asologist: Charles F. McKenna, Esq., and wife;
Mr. Hugh Mackin, of Allegheny, and wife,
with some others whose names have not yet
been ascertained.
Bishop Phelan intended leaving his Alle
gheny residence and moving to tho Episcopal
House, on Grant street immediately after his
return from Europe. He now finds that the
business of winding up his parochial affairs at
St Peter's Cathedral is so laborious a task that
it will be necessary for him to remain in his old
quarters for at least a month after his return.
The name of Bishop Phelan's succes
sor as pastor of St Peter's and con
sequent Vicar General of the Bishop
in tbe Allegheny portion of the diocese, is
a subject for conjecture. Father Wall, ot St
Paul's Cathedral, is looked upon as first favor
ite, but the names of Father Philip Kearney,
Father M. M. Sheedy and Father Nolan, of
McKeesport have been also mentioned in con
nection with St Peter's. Father Wall is, it is
said, desirous of remaining in his present loca
tion, and acting as Vicar General both of Pitts
burg and Allegheny; while Father Kearney's
delicacy may prevent him from accepting tbe
pastorship. Consequently, a few knowine ones
believe tbat Father Bheedy may be asked to
cross the river and assume jurisdiction In the
City of Parks.
Allegheny folk are very anxious that Father
Sheedy should be selected for the position, the
wonderful work which the "pastor at the
Point" has done .and is doing in bis present
Earish making him very desirable. Father
hcedy was not seen himself on the subject
and consequently it was impossible to ascertain
whether he would approve of the change.
(Bishop Phelan has promulgated the following
official declaration:
My approaching official visit to tbe Holy See
will necessitate my absence from the diocese for
sometime. Wishing to provide for, Its govern
ment during that time, 1 hereby appoint Very
Hev. Sti phen Wall, U. D., V. G., administrator
of the diocese during my absence. I also appoint
Very Kev. Edw.ird A. Busli-vicar foranc

SITED AH EX-ALDERMAN.
Mr.
Hclnrlch Gets Into Trouble Abont One
of His Own Old Cases.
Ex-Alderman Herman Heinrich, of AUen
town, was given a hearing yesterday be
fore Alderman Beinhauer on a charge of lar
ceny by bailee made by Georgo Lilz, The cir
cumstances ot the case date back to the magis
tracy of the ex-AIderman, when Litz entered a
suit beforo Heinrich against George Goetler to
recover SI 23 due for work done. Not much
attention was paid to the case, but as it is
claimed the Alderman did not pay over tbe
money which Litz claimed, and as he heard a
short time ago the money and costs in tho case
had been paid by Qoetler, he mado a demand
on Heinrich, but was told, he claims, that only
the costs had been paid. Later tbo ex-AIderman
denied tbat he knew the parties to the
suit.
The information was then made charging
Hoinrich with larceny by bailee. At tbe hear
ing Litz produced as evidence the receipt given
to Ooetler by Heinrich, and Alderman Bein
hauer held him under bail for court. A few
hours later Heinrich bad entered an informa
tion before Alderman King, charging Litz with
perjury.
PRIEST AGAINST EDITOR.
They
Call Each Other Rencende, False
Propher. and Sac for Libel.
A hearing in the case of Rev. Joseph Kas
salko, a Catholic priest of Hazieton, Pa.,
against the proprietors of the Amerikaruke
Blavemke Moving for libel, was held yesterday
afternoon bsforo Alderman McMasters. Tbo
prosecutor testified that the paper called him a
"godless, immoral man; a bloodsucker; a rene
gade, and a traitor to his countrymen." Tbe
defendants waived a def enso and entered bail
for court.
In the afternoon Editor Slovlnsky brought a
counter suit against Rev. Mr. Kassalko, charg
ing him with criminal libel. He charges that
Rev. Kassalko was in 1889 the editor of a
Slavish paper called the Zastavia. published in
Plymouth, Pa., and alleces tbat the sheet called
him "tbe false prophet of Pittsburg," and
"Lucifer, the Lord of Devils."

southern city limits, wore totally destroyed by
fire yesterday evening. Several horses and
cows belonging to the hotel, which is operated
by John Ostermaier, were burned to deatb. The
barn was a large and very complete building,
and the loss will probably reach 85,000. There
aro no water facilities in that vicinity and
nothing could be done except to protect the
bic frame hotel, which escaped any damage.
The horses and cows that were lost were very
fine animals and of considerable value.

MINERS MAT STEIKE.
J. M. Eainey's Men Threaten to Go
Ont Unless He Signs the Scale.
DISTRICT HO. 5 WILL MEET TO-DAY.
Bottle Scale Postponed Until After- the
Baltimore Meeting.
AMALGAMATED DELEGATES COME IN
A convention of District Ho. 5, of the
United Mine Workers, will be held to-day,
to hear and act on the report of the com
mittee appointed some time ago to meet the
operators. That committee will report that
it was unable to effect a settlement, and the
convention will then determine what steps
will be taken next It is believed that, a
speedy disposition of the wage scale will be
demanded trom the operators.
The action of the operators in referring the
wage question to a committee for arbitration
is said to be too late to be of any benefit. The
miners claim their Committee of Arbitration
has several times tried to meet with the op
erators' committee. It is given out that the
convention will deal with the scale from this
out and some changes are expected to be
made.
"Word was received last night from Scott
dale that the men employed by W. J.
Eainey are likely to strike next week for the
signing of the scale. If they ebey labor offi
cials' orders 900 men will be affected. Labor
leaders will be sent to Barney's works to ag
itate the strike. Kainey has not the least
fears of the strike or the threatened boycott
The lollowing is the circular issued to
Ilainey's employes yesterday:
"Office of District i, N. T. A. 133,
"K. of L.. U. M. W. of A..
"SCOTTDALE, May 19, 1890.
"To the Miners and Coke Workers Employed by
W. J. Hainey. Greeting:
"As almost four months have elapsed since
tho agreement was made under which all mines
and coke works in the Connellsville region are
operated, except those operated by W. J.
Rainey. and after having repeatedly requested
him to sign a similar agreement said requests
being ignored by Mr. Rainey, we feel that
further forbearance upon our part not only
ceases to be a virtue, but actually becomes a
crime. Therefore, under the circumstances,
we feel justified in resorting to the most strin
gent measures allowed by our organization in
tbat the ends of justice may be attained.
"Therefore, we hereby order you to quit work
Wednesday evening. June 4. not to resume
work until Mr. Rainey signs the agreement
"R. D. Kehfoot,
"District Master Workman."
Tbe men seem determined, and if a strike
occurs at Rtincy's mines the men in others are
likely to strike for tbe same cause.
FLINT SCALE UNSETTLED.
Final Action Postponed Until After tbo Jans
Convention.
The flint bottle scale remains unsettled, and
final action on it hasbeen postponed until after
the coming convention of the American Flint
Glass Workers Union in Baltimore, which
takes place there in July. There have been
two or three conferences between tbe manu
facturers and the workers' committees, and
the various items in the scale have been dis
cussed, and each side has proposed the
changes and amendments desired by their
respective associations.
It is understood that there are several im
portant changes submitted, among others an
increase on several points by the workers,
which the manufacturers are not willing to
concede. The manufacturers want a reduction
on several items, which tbe workers will not
allow. In fact tbe exact position of eitlTer side
has scarcely been fully defined, for the reason,
it seems, tbat the committees bad not been in
structed definitely as to the will of their asso
ciations. Tho scale in its present shape has been re
ferred to the associations and their commit
tees. When thev come together again they
will be empowered to act finally in tbe matter.
Tbo date fixed for the meeting in Baltimoro is
July 15. It is expected that the Flint Workers'
Convention will have adjourned by that time.
rand the committee will be in' possession of all
tne information on tne suuject.'
DELEGATES COMING IN.
Amalgamated Representatives Arriving for
the Jane ConTcntlon. '
Wm. Whitman, of Muncie, Ind., and Harry
Hocking, of Wheeling, both members of the
Amalgamated Association Wage Committee,
arrived in tbe city yesterday, and are stopping
at the Homo Hotel. They go into session this
morning with the Wage Committee to arrange
a scale to be presented to the annual conven
tion next Tuesday.
Tbe committee will meet at' 10 o'clock, and
will take up the boiling scale first. It is under
stood that an advance of 50 cents per ton will
be asked for boiling. The amount paid now is
S3 50. It is thought the boiling scale will occu
py to-day's session of the committee.
Mr. Whitman, who has attended 11 of the 15
annual conventions held by the association, was
seen last evening. He declinod to talk about
tbe scale, but would not deny that tbe advance
is to be asked for. He said tho iron and steel in
dustry isin a prosperous condition in the West
and intimated that the manufacturers onght to
be able to pay tbe small advance asked for.

Tho Fight Between tbe Musicians and the

and secr.re withdrawal cards no objections
would bo raised against tbem in the future, it
was supposed tbo trouble would come to an
end.
The matter has been referred to a committee.
Tbat committee accepted tho proposition of
tho Musical Union, and so notlfled tbem, re
questing at the same time a' list of those who
had been suspended. Tho list has not yet been
furnished, although it was asked for two or
throe times.

BETRAYEDHIS FRIEND.
Otto Wilson Chnrcrd With Larceny and Re
ceiving Stolen Goods.
Otto Wilson Is in jail in default of bail on a
charge of receiving stolen goods, and Is also
charged under the name of John W. Hunter
with larceny. The history of his case is pecu
liar. Wilson Is a colored man. A little over a
month ago his colored friend, Mamie Red
dick, who kept a disorderly house at No. 10
Townsend street, was arrested and sent SO days
to the workhouse. She left her placo in the
hands of Wilson and a woman named Laura
Marshall, but they managed it badly, and in
two weeks sold out the furniture. May Red
dlck, a daughter of Mamie, having in the
meantime been sent up for running tbe same
house, she having accepted the responsibility
in preference of giving away the real conduc
tors of tbe house. WhenMatnio Reddick was
released last week she found her house
stripped of its contents, and en
tered suit against Wilson for
larceny and against Laura Marshall
for receiving stolen goods, her claim being
that Wilson had only made a mock sale and
had given such ot-tbe goods as he did not want
tp Miss Marshall without making any return.
The warrants were issued by Alderman Bell,
and on Tuesday night Constable White, of
Bell's office, arrested Wilson, bnt he managed
to escape from him and later In the same
evening from Police Lieutenant Lewis. On
Wednesday night Officer Bagley caught Wil
son and locked him up as a suspicious charac
ter. Magistrate Gripp had just sentenced Wilson
30 days to tbe workhouse yesterdav morning
as a suspicious character wben Lieutenant
Lewis recognized his escaped prisoner and the
warrants were brought to bear. Wilson was
committed to jail, his home on Franklin street
was searched and most of the missing property
was found. Wilson this time giving bis name
as John W. Hunter, another information was
entered against him in that name, and the
Marshall woman was also arrested for receiv
ing tbe balance of the stolen goods. The case
will be heard before Alderman Bell to-day.

impressions and imasinary suppositions.
The JEilian is nn instrument which every
musically cultivated family should have, as
any member of the household can produce
upon it, with little practice, the highest
class of music accurately. and at the same
time with the most heautiiui changes of
tempo and tone coloring.
Indorsements of this musical wonder have
be"n received from the best musical experts,
including Mr. Anton Seidl, of the Melro
politan Opera House, Hew York, who is
verv enthusiastic in its praise.
Visitors to see this instrument on exhibi
